Ige, a Democrat, praised Bush, the Republican: "President Bush lived a life of service to our nation, from a combat plane to the halls of Congress and the White House. As we pay tribute to his leadership, let us vow to serve our communities, our state and our nation with the same spirit. Dawn and I send our heartfelt aloha to the entire Bush family."

50th anniversary address at
Harbor in 1991,
acknowledging patriotic Japanese Americans.

Bush also acknowledged the error made when the U.S. government interred Japanese Americans during World War II. "In remembering, it is important to come to grips with the past. No nation can fully understand itself or find its place in the world if it does not look with clear eyes at all the glories and disgraces, too, of the past. We in the United States acknowledge such an injustice in our own history: The internment of Americans of Japanese ancestry was a great injustice, and it will never be repeated."
Bush said, that "The values we hold dear as a nation — equality of opportunity, freedom of religion and speech and assembly, free and vigorous elections — are now revered by many nations. Our greatest victory in World War II took place not on the field of battle, but in nations we once counted as foes. The ideals of democracy and liberty have triumphed in a world once threatened with conquest by tyranny and despotism."

NEW and UPCOMING
HAWAI‘I ISLAND HUMANE SOCIETY COMES TO ST. JUDE'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH in Ocean View with their for a one day Spay and Neutering Mobile Clinic - for cats and dogs only - on Monday, Dec. 3, from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Appointments are necessary and can be made by visiting hihs.org. Those who would like to participate but do not have access to the internet are welcome to come to St. Jude's Episcopal Church on Saturday, while their computer lab is open. The free mobile spay and neutering services are offered to low income pet owners or those without means to transport their cat or dog to the Humane Society's shelter in Kona or Keaau - where these services are offered for free to all.
"We recently fundraised for and purchased a state-of-the-art mobile spay/neuter clinic to take our surgery efforts on the road. We want to eliminate all barriers by bringing our services to areas of need. This is the only such program of its kind on the Big Island. It will enable pet owners with limited financial means or transportation to fix their pets, eliminating the possibility of accidental litters which become a community problem and add to Hawai‘i Island Humane Society's challenge of addressing pet overpopulation," states hihs.org.
HŪ HONUA BIOENERGY, BUYER OF FARMED EUCALYPTUS – harvested above Pāhala
to burn for electricity to sell to the local utility – is facing scrutiny from the state Department of Health. The issue is an unauthorized discharge of industrial wastewater on Nov. 9. The Department of
Health Clean Water Branch released a statement on Friday with its preliminary findings.
Health Director
Bruce Anderson said, "The discharge was a blatant disrespect of the
environmental laws that govern this highly regulated industry. The history of
concern over the operations of this facility emphasize the need for the
Department of Health to take swift action on this violation."
See video of the discharge. Video from Big Island Video News |
Keith Kawaoka,
deputy director of Environmental Health, said, "While in general, the
department does not provide information about ongoing investigations, given the
public nature of this case and community concerns, we are confirming the cause
of the spill and moving forward on the enforcement process. Fortunately, our
staff did not observe visible damage to the environment or determine an
imminent threat to the health of the public from the discharge."
DOH is completing the investigation, and plans to produce a formal report with recommendations for enforcement and penalties. For unlawful discharges to state
waters, violators face potential civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day per
violation and potential criminal prosecution.
Hū Honua issued a statement in November saying the discharge was unintended and occurred while testing and preparing the biofuel plant for its opening. The company reported the event to the state the day it happened.
Opponents of the plant, located on the coast north of Hilo, seized on the incident, some of them claiming the release was not an accident.
