Beloved UH cashier of 29 years, ‘Aunty Eloise,' honored with biographical website after her death
HONOLULU (KHON2) — Eloise Luzader — affectionately known as 'Aunty Eloise' to many students at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa — passed away at the age of 96 in February 2025. In lieu of a traditional funeral service, Eloise is being honored by her son with a tribute website. 'Everyone grieves the loss of a loved one differently. For me, this website just feels like the right thing to do,' Eloise's son, Gary Luzader, writes. 'It's certainly less stressful, but it also allows those who knew her a chance to enjoy some memories Eloise left behind and just enjoy her life one more time.' The website, found at features photo galleries that show important moments from Eloise's life — including her early life, marriage and 'final days' — as well as a form for people to of Eloise. 95-year-old UH cashier retires after nearly 30 years According to her memorial website, Eloise started working at UH in 1994, when she was 66 years old. She continued working as a cashier when most of the university was shut down at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Eloise was a cashier at UH Mānoa's Gateway House for nearly 30 years before she . 'I'm going to miss the students… they keep me young and keep me happy,' Eloise told KHON2 when she retired. 'I look forward to coming to work everyday. Not everybody look forward to go to work right?' After retiring, Eloise spent time in a religious ministry before she broke her hip in October 2024. When she was in the emergency room after breaking her hip, scans of her body found incurable cancer 'all over her liver and bones,' according to the memorial website. She declined treatment after learning it would impact her quality of life, and spent her final days receiving care at Gary's house. 'I miss her a lot, but it's a great comfort knowing that before she passed, Mom knew she was loved by so many people,' Gary wrote. To learn more about Eloise's life, you can visit her .

How will U.S. Steel-Nippon Steel partnership affect economy, air quality in Gary, Indiana?
On Sunday, the CBS News Chicago Investigators told you about the significant industrial pollution in Northwest Indiana and the health impact on the people living in Gary. Now, the federal government is working out a deal for a Japanese company to invest in U.S. Steel. Gary Mayor Eddie Melton said Nippon Steel plans to pump $1 billion in the Gary Works U.S. Steel facility — the largest steel plant in the country. But critics question whether this investment improve air quality, and whether the investment in the facility translate into an investment in Gary's economy. "I think we're still early in terms of specific commitments, or what they're willing to do," said Melton. The mayor said the details on what the investment by Nippon Steel would involve are not yet clear, but he knows what he wants for his community. "Hopefully, Nippon will make the investments to make the process cleaner; to reduce those emissions as much as they can," said Melton. The monthslong investigation CBS News Chicago aired on Sunday found the plant that would get the money released more pollutants than any other steel or iron mill tracked by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency across the country. "The story was great. I think it covered a lot of legacy issues that people have been voicing on a local level. And it's starting to put it on a more regional and national level of the health concerns of our community." Beryl Fitzpatrick lives near the steel mill. She is a lifelong Gary resident whose doctor said is dealing with cancer likely tied to environmental pollution. The cancer has affected her speech. "I had to learn phonics," she said. "I had to learn words and sounds." Fitzpatrick is fighting for cleaner air in Gary. "There are technologies out there that allow a cleaner steelmaking process," said Mayor Melton. As mayor, another major concern for Melton is the city's economy and how it can benefit from the Nippon Steel investment. Right now, how the money would impact jobs is unclear. "We know that they're a major contributor in that way," Melton said. "But we also know that that level of investment — there should be a direct impact economically to the community as well." Meanwhile, there is something else Mayor Melton wants as Gary Works could get the massive influx of cash. He wants U.S. Steel to start paying its fair share of taxes. "A couple of decades ago, legislation was passed that allowed them to self-assess their real and personal property taxes," he said. The result of that legislation has been that for decades, U.S. Steel has had a special deal — basically choosing what it owes in taxes. "It has not paid its fair share," said Fitzpatrick. "The powers that be would have taken my house if I hadn't paid my fair share." CBS News Chicago brought questions to both U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel. There had been no response as of Thursday afternoon.

‘My neighbour's dog savaged my cat, now he won't pay the £3,000 vet bill'
Do you have a legal question to put to Gary? Email askalawyer@ or use the form at the bottom of the page. Hello Gary, I'm asking this question on behalf of my sister. My sister and family live on a pleasant, quiet estate. A few weeks ago, one of her cats was sleeping peacefully in the front garden, when a man who lives elsewhere on the estate walked by with his Rhodesian Ridgeback dog on a lead. The dog saw the cat, broke free from the man and attacked the cat. This was caught on my sister's front door cam. The man managed to get his dog off the cat and rang the bell to apologise. He then walked off. Long and short, the cat suffered life-threatening injuries. It is now on the mend but will have a lifelong injury to one leg. The overall vet bill is about £3,000 and while my sister has the cat insured, it will not cover this amount. The thing that has angered my sister, and indeed other neighbours who know the man, is that he's offered no financial support. My brother-in-law has twice been round to his house to discuss the issue, but the man is not interested. He simply told my brother-in-law that his dog insurance does not cover injury caused to cats. He's clearly not going to do the right thing. Does my sister have any legal recourse to force the man to contribute towards the vet fees? These are fees that were incurred by his dog being out of control and causing great harm to a much-loved family member. All the best, John by email Dear John, I am very sorry about this terrible incident. As you say great harm has been done in what must be distressing circumstances for your sister and her family. My view as a lawyer is that the owner of the dog has legal responsibility for what has happened and arising from that responsibility can be forced to account for his actions. In legal terms pets, including dogs, are chattels, which means they are an item of property like a car or a piece of furniture capable of being owned by an individual. Hence, ownership of a dog is sometimes in dispute in situations like a divorce. In this case, while it is the action of the dog which caused the injury, the responsibility is with the dog owner. It is the Animals Act 1971 which addresses liability for animal-related incidents and makes clear a 'keeper' of an animal, by definition a dog owner, is liable for the actions of a dog. So, as a matter of preliminary evidence you should first establish the owner in this case is the owner of the miscreant dog. I would say the fact he has pet insurance for his dog pins him down on ownership. Under the Animals Act, keepers of animals can be held strictly liable for injuries caused by their dog in certain circumstances. Even if the dog has not shown previous aggression or the owner did not intend harm. In this case the relevant facts and basis of the claim are: The dog caused injury to your sister's cat The dog was not under control, as it broke free from the lead and – The attack was reasonably foreseeable given the involvement of larger, powerful breeds like Rhodesian Ridgebacks, which are known for sometimes aggressive behaviour to smaller animals. I emphasise here that dogs behave instinctively, and it is the owners who should know that and manage their behaviour. In this case, the fact this occurred in a front garden where the cat had a right to be, and the dog was out of control strengthens your sister's potential claim. As well as liability under statute as per the Animals Act, your sister could bring a claim for negligence on the basis the dog owner failed to maintain control of the dog and/or damage to property as her cat is also her chattel so the dog has caused damage to her personal property. All of which means there is a legal basis for a monetary claim against the dog owner. The next issue is to value the claim. This will mean calculating all of the financial loss which has occurred, which in the main will be the vet's bill of £3,000. These losses should be set out with supporting evidence. An initial 'letter of claim' setting out the legal basis of the dog owner's liability (as above) and the financial losses claimed should be sent to the dog owner and he should be given a deadline to reply and pay up. Tell him if he does not pay by the deadline you will issue a claim under the 'small claims track' which can be done online in England and Wales for all monetary claims of a value up to £10,000. Here's the link. If your sister recovers her losses from the dog owner, she will of course have to repay any relevant part of her own insurance claim.
