-V. A4v(tiar photo by ChariM Okamuni Sharkey Peahi, John Amina and Hiram Amina at Lualualei Beach Park yesterday. 'beach people' By Mark Matsunaga and George Carties Advertiiet Government Burtm "It's kind of uncool," said Sharkey Peahi. "We pay taxes, too, just like them." Peahi, one of 45 residents of Lualualei Beach Park, was reflecting on the city's latest crackdown on "beach people" like him. Police yesterday issued nine citations to campers at Nanakuli, Lualualei and Keaau beach parks on Oahu's Leeward coast The citations were for illegal structures, camping without permits and having animals in the parks.

Peahi's sister, Sharkal Aweau, was cited for having a shower hooked up to a city water faucet Another person at Lualualei was cited for having one corner of her tent nailed to a tree. The citations followed a weekend in which many of the Leeward tent-homes were damaged by high winds. Peahi said a friend of his living at Nanakuli was injured by a falling tree. Deputy city parks director Sam Carl said yesterday's citations followed "goodwill missions" police made last week to warn campers that parts of their dwellings were illegal. Those who didn't make the changes were cited.

Police Maj. Joseph Aveiro, commander of the Tactical Operations Division, which conducted yesterday's sweep, said 21 warnings were given last week. He said police have been meeting with parks officials for several months about "the parks problem." While the city has relaxed enforcement of the "Thursday rule" requiring everyone to break camp once a week, all other beach camping rules remain in effect, Carl said. "You can't build structures, you can't keep dogs, you can't dig drains." Citations are part of life on the beach, says Peahi, 20, who received two last month for similar offenses. "The police are only doing their job, but they have houses, warm shelter," Peahi said.

Worrell (Jim Varney in real life) TV ads At Lualualei, he and Amina have been appointed security officers, taking care of "outsiders" who make trouble. They said, however, that they don't mind sharing the beach with others. "We'll even take you out" to the best diving spots, Peahi said. Mayor-elect Frank Fasi, who has promised to find land away from the beach parks for homeless families to camp on, declined to comment on yesterday's citations. "I'd rather let the incumbent mayor make the decisions that have to be made," he said.

Peahi and Amina said they wouldn't mind moving and paying 10 percent of their meager income, as Fasi has suggested, as long as the new site is safe. The youngest resident of Lualualei Beach Park is Peahi's 18-month-old niece. One woman resident farther down the beach is pregnant. "Somebody should at least give her a place to stay." said Peahi. "If I had a house.

I'd give it to her." said Amina's brother, Hiram. "But I no more house." move if I had the money and a place and a job." "If someone would hire us, no problem, but right now jobs are kind of tight," said his cousin, John Amina. Amina, 26, moved to the beach after the rent was raised. His family could no longer afford it Now he and the other young men at Lualualei help support their families by doing odd jobs and fishing. The tako (octopus) and fish they catch is eaten or sold to get money for other food and, most important, ice.

The stench from the Waianae sewage treatment plant across the highway pervades the cluster of tents at Lualualei Beach Park. Amina says he no longer notices it The sewage outfall a few hundred yards offshore attracts fish, including foot-long menpachi, Amina said. "And kala," his brother Hiram, 19, added. If a unit in one of the state housing projects in Kalihi was offered, Peahi said, he wouldn't go. "I'm worried about my family's safety.

I know what it's like there." "IS AND DOT: Phoniner home for Lii slaying the holidays?

SUEY: Franklin Mieuli. owner of the NBA Golden State Warriors and part-owner of the San Francisco 43ers, is spending almost as much time in Hawaii as in San Francisco. Franklin's reason is that his favorite female friend, Blake Green, has a fellowship at the East-West Center Larry Manetti dined at the Bistro with Bob Forrester, star of the old series "Banyon" who is in town to direct a couple of "Magnum" episodes Syndicated TV columnist Ron Miller, after interviewing Tom Selleck the other day: "He's the same old guy he was when I interviewed him before he became a star" Gary Thomas is leaving KHVH to join the same-Philadelphia radio station that lured away Dan Cook arii Kelly Randall. You may recall Gary from an item last spring when he stepped in a hole and broke his ankle while chasing a ball hit by the first batter in the first inning of the first game of a new softball season to and from the murder scene, waiting in the car while Lii was shot, Ward said.

When the two men returned to the car, Ward said, "I hope the guy died 'cause he seen us." Ward said he returned to his Kaneohe home, changed clothes, then went to see Huihui in Castle Hospital, where he was undergoing treatment for a pancreas problem. Kealoha and another alleged member of Huihui's criminal group, Gerald Inouye, were in the hospital room, Ward said. He said he was going to tell Huihui about the murder, but didn't because Huihui already "knew about it" Ward said he then went to Inouye's home, where he took his second Qualuude a prescription drug of the day. Ward said he also occasionally used heroin and marijuana. In an attempt to show that Ward gave conflicting statements in the past, Kealoha's attorney, Judd Scott, questioned the witness about what he told authorities at Oahu prison last year.

Ward was there serving a five-year firearm sentence. Ward said he told the FBI he was innocent of the Lii murder. In addition, he said it was "possible" that he told FBI agents that "law enforcement efforts should be directed at Larry Mehau." This was the second time the name of Mehau, a close friend and political supporter of Gov. George Ariyoshi, has come up in the trial. Huihui said last week that Mehau had advance knowledge of the Lii murder, a charge that Mehau's attorney, David Schutter, termed "a pure fabrication." Ward said he also told the agents that the government had been "unfair" to Huihui, who was a "good man." Ward testified that he later told FBI agents he would cooperate.

"The information I got (was that) Mr. Huihui was about to send us all down the river," he said. Ward said he initially said he would testify that Kealoha and Edwin Madamba murdered Lii. "I didn't want to tell the FBI the whole truth until I reached an agreement with them that would be fair enough to me," he said. Ward said he later declared that he was at the murder scene, but that Kealoha pulled the trigger.

He said he also told them the shooting was over a marijuana deal. In March, Ward pleaded guilty to federal racketeering charges and admitted he shot Lii on orders from Huihui. Both Ward and Huihui have pleaded guilty to the Lii killing and other crimes, and have agreed to testify in court in return for reduced prison sentences. By James Dooley and Ken Kobayashi Adoertiter Slafl Writers Michael Ward, the government's second key witness in the Josiah Lii murder trial, yesterday directly contradicted testimony from the first Henry Huihui. Last week, Huihui testified that one of the men on trial, Jeffrey Kealoha, didn't help plan the Lii slaying and was not supposed to have participated in it But Ward said on the stand yesterday that Huihui included Kealoha in plans to murder Lii from the start, and specifically authorized Kealoha to accompany Ward on the day Lii was gunned down outside his downtown union office.

Ward admitted shooting Lii on May 6, 1977, and said he was instructed to do so by Huihui because Lii, head cf the Inlandboatmen's Union, "was about to talk to the media about certain issues." He said he believed that if he hadn't carried out the orders, "I would eventually get killed." Ward said on several occasions he and Kealoha "scouted" the downtown office building where Lai's office was located. The original plan was to kill Lii in his office or in his car as he left work. He said he knew of several cars that Lii drove because Huihui had procured a "rap sheet" about Lii from the police department Ward said he never actually saw Lii until moments before he shot him, when he walked past the open door of Lii's office. After Ward walked past Lii's office, he said, Lii followed Ward down the corridor and around a corner to where Ward and Kealoha were standing. Ward said he wouldn't have shot Lii if Lii had not followed him down the corridor.

"I was going to call the hit off" because there were too many people around, he said. According to Ward, Kealoha was armed with a 2-caliber handgun equipped with a silencer, supplied by Huihui. but did not fire it Ward said the gun he used to fire four shots at Lii belonged to Gilbert Madrid, the other man on trial with Kealoha. Huihui said last week that he gave the murder weapon to Ward, another discrepancy in the two men's testimony. Madrid drove Kealoha and Ward End OF THE LINES: Having lamented the vague language used in too many restaurant menus, we were pleased to see the fairly graphic description of "Stamina Ilahmen" on 7 Advertiser 13 rouse is bare for family Christmas Fund the menu at Ban Zai Rahmen (King-Pensacola): "A double portion cf noodles in miso soup base stir-fried vegetables, pork, shrimp, fishcake, and a cooked egg.
