Nascent Drama

"The smell just lingers," said Richard Kurosu, who lives near a corner in Kaneohe where several whale parts littered the road for more than two hours.
 
The bulk of the blubbery mass was moved to a pit near Kahuku Point, where it was buried. But the university wanted the bones to teach students about the marine mammal.
 
The whale's journey across the island caused traffic jams Thursday and annoyed residents. Workers needed a chain saw to cut some of the bones down to a size where volunteers could lift them back onto a truck.
 
The dead whale, an adult about 65 feet long, was first spotted June 29 off Kaneohe. It then washed up to a hard-to-access location on the North Shore, where sharks fed on the remains. The cause of its death had not been determined.
 
Jeff Walters of the Department of Land and Natural Resources, said it cost between $10,000 and $15,000 to remove and bury the whale. A giant grave was dug for the whale and a prayer ceremony was held as the remains were covered.
