An interesting Advertiser Breaking News item here shows us:
"The doors to the University of Hawaii-Manoa's School of Medicine were unchained at 9:30 a.m. today so the school's Board of Regents could start their meeting.
"Three entry ways to the school had been chained at 8:45 a.m. by a group of about 40 Native Hawaiians who were protesting taro patents by UH-Manoa researchers. The protesters were led by Walter Ritte of Molokai.
"The protest caused a half-hour delay to the board's meeting. No police were called to the site. Board of Regents chairwoman Kitty Lagareta was the first to enter the building."
