An investigation into ordnance found at the Moloka'i landfill has been delayed a day because of the amount of equipment to be transported by the military team responding, a news release said.

The O'ahu team is expected to arrive on Moloka'i today, according to a Maui County news release.

Workers of Schnitzer Steel Hawaii, which handles recycling for the dump, found more than 100 items of what appeared to be explosive ordnance. The items were found Monday near the recycling area.

The landfill will remain closed until further notice. Maui Police Department officials are securing the location.

DOMESTIC ABUSE SUSPECT GIVES UP

HANAUMA VICTIM TOP JAPAN LAWYER

The 71-year-old Tokyo woman who died Sunday at Straub Clinic & Hospital after being brought to shore by lifeguards at Hanauma Bay was among Japan's top feminist labor lawyers, Consul General Makoto Hinei of the Honolulu Japanese Consulate said yesterday.

Michiko Nakajima had led a group of lawyers who support working women and specialize in labor law. She also served as chairwoman of a women's rights committee, Hinei said.

LAID-OFF WORKERS CAN GET U.S. AID

Workers laid off from Maui Pineapple Co.'s Kahului cannery are eligible for federal assistance, U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye announced yesterday.

The workers are eligible for the U.S. Department of Labor's worker adjustment assistance and alternative trade adjustment assistance programs.

The certification came after the department determined that in recent years Maui Pineapple's major customers were buying less of the company's canned pineapple while purchasing more imported pineapples that were less expensive, Inouye said in a written statement.

The department launched its investigation when Local 142 of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union filed a petition on behalf of the cannery workers.

The boy was carrying articles of clothing under his shirt, later identified as belonging to a 35-year-old man who lives at the home.
