HAWAI`I HAS LAUNCHED AN ENHANCED 911 service allowing residents to report an emergency as a text message. Text-to-911 can support plain text Short Messaging Services messages only and is limited to 160 characters per text. Pictures, videos and emojis currently cannot be processed. In addition, callers must have active wireless service including a text or data plan, and the device’s location service must be turned on. Text-to-911 may not be available if the wireless phone is roaming or outside of the provider’s coverage area.
Ka`u's U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said Hawai`i is leading
the way for Text-to-911 services.

      Consumers are advised to call 911 when possible because calling is a faster, more efficient way to relay an emergency as the caller’s location isn’t automatically sent to emergency responders in a text.
      “While voice calls are always best, text-to-911 service provides practical mobile emergency communications for our deaf, hard of hearing and speech-impaired communities,” Gov. David Ige said.
      Ka`u’s U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said, “Given Hawai`i’s unique and rural geography, technology advances and the hearing/speech-impaired members of our community, it’s critical that we close the gap to ensure everyone has access to our first responders. The Text-to-911 service is a revolution in how we alert the authorities to emergent, life-or-death situations that do not allow for a caller to speak to a dispatcher, such as with home invasions, domestic violence cases or active shooter scenarios. This new service will help save lives all across Hawai`i. As one of only seven states to implement this program, Hawai`i is leading the way in serving all members of our community.”
      E911 Board chair and Hawai`i County Police Department Deputy Chief Paul Ferreira reported a total cost of over $3 to $4 million dollars per local area public safety answering points to upgrade the Computer Assisted Dispatch software systems and infrastructure that can now receive text messages.

      Steve Schutte, Verizon government account manager, represented private telecomm service providers and acknowledged HawaiianTel support in achieving this technological challenge. Extensive testing with all wireless carriers was conducted at all PSAP locations prior to this statewide launch, and ongoing testing continues to ensure smooth operations. “As Hawai`i’s only local service provider, our team is dedicated to leveraging the power of technology to meet the needs of our customers and our community,” he said.
      “Text messaging is one of the primary ways we communicate today, and texting 911 can save lives when it’s safer not to speak such as a home invasion or situations involving domestic violence or an active shooter,” said Courtney Tagupa, Executive Director of Hawai`i’s Enhanced 911 Board. “We’re grateful to our telecommunications service providers and all of our PSAPs for their leadership and dedication to this important project.”
      According to the Federal Communications Commission, Hawai`i joins New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Indiana, New Jersey and North Dakota as states where text-to-911 is available statewide.

HAWAI`I DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES stated that it is aware of allegations regarding working conditions on commercial fishing vessels and efforts by various government agencies and the industry to investigate these allegations and take appropriate actions. According to DLNR’s Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement, it does not have the authority to investigate immigration and labor issues. Its main focus is enforcement of state laws and rules relating to the state’s natural resources.
      On Sept. 21, five people submitted a petition to the Board of Land and Natural Resources requesting rule amendments relating to commercial marine licensing procedures. These proposed amendments relate to the issuance of the Commercial Marine License to foreign nationals who are hired on Hawai`i-based longline vessels who land their catches in Hawai`i. The domestic longline fleet is the state’s largest fishery in terms of landings and ex-vessel value. Last year, longliners landed 34 million pounds with an ex-vessel value of $94.2 million.
Dr. Bruce Anderson
      DLNR Division of Aquatics Administrator Dr. Bruce Anderson explained, “The petition’s amendments appear to focus on labor issues that are not part of DLNR’s jurisdiction.” DLNR does issue CMLs to individuals who conduct fishing activities in marine waters (regardless if caught within or outside state waters) and the marine life is landed in Hawai`i for commercial purposes. Applicants for the CML are required to provide relevant information on, among other things, identity and immigration status. Applicants who are foreign nationals must provide their passports and the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection form I-95 ‘Crewman’s Landing Permit’ as qualifying documents.
      DLNR provides the documents to the applicant to sign, and their signature indicates their agreement to the CML terms and conditions. The terms and conditions pertain to fishing for marine life for commercial purpose. Other terms relate to non-transferability, lawful admittance into the U.S., license fees and fishing report requirements.
      DLNR’s  conducts boardings of commercial fishing vessels independently and jointly as part of a Joint Enforcement Agreement with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Crew members who don’t have valid CMLs can be warned or cited. Acting DOCARE Enforcement Chief Jason Redulla said, “We have cited crew members for not possessing a CML, and since many crew members do not have entry visas, the owner or captain of their vessel has to coordinate with U.S. Customs and Border Protection for court appearances and to ensure compliance with federal laws.
      “While we are clearly concerned about recent media reports regarding working conditions on fishing vessels, our responsibilities currently involve enforcing DAR CML rules and any violations associated with the Joint Enforcement Agreement with NOAA,” Anderson said.

Ka`u Calendar News Briefs Thursday, Oct. 13, 2016

Halau Na Kipu`upu`u performs Saturday. See more below.

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARY, Hawai`i Electric Light Company, have responded to a formal complaint as ordered by the Public Utilities Commission. The 72-page complaint, filed by Ann and Peter Bosted, alleges that Feed-In-Tariff permits for a series of solar projects planned for Ocean View should not have been issued by HECO/HELCO because the projects failed to meet the rules and intent of the FIT program.
Grids cover sites approved for a major
solar project planned in Ka`u.
Map from Bosted formal complaint
      The complaint concerns a 6.75-megawatt solar project slated to be built on widely dispersed three-acre parcels in makai residential subdivisions. According to the complaint, in spite of the developers not adhering to the “site control” rules of FIT, and in spite of the projects not being “shovel ready” when permits were issued in 2011, HECO/HELCO have continued to allow these projects to remain in the FIT active queue. The complaint further alleges that these permits were traded and the competitive bid process was circumvented. The complaint states that as a consequence of lax administration by the utilities, the projects have not even broken ground. Therefore, Hawai`i Island has not benefitted from these projects and the FIT program as originally envisioned.
      In its defense, HECO/HELCO claims that the utilities “followed all applicable rules, orders, and laws . . . and that it would be highly unfair to the developers of the FIT Projects to now revoke or deny their FIT Applications, after they have made substantial investments and complied with applicable requirements.”
      The most “substantial investment” made by the current developers was the purchase of the permits from the original permit owner at a highly inflated price. Four years ago, the original applicant for permits in Ocean View, Pat Shudak, was accused of “queue squatting” – signing up for projects he did not intend to complete and then selling the lucrative permits for a profit. Financial filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission indicated that Pat Shudak’s company, Solar Hub, had sold the rights to its 68 FIT projects on three islands to SPI Solar for $44 million. According to Ann Bosted, Shudak claimed that he had spent about $4 million to get these projects into the FIT queue. It is estimated that a quarter of his permits, by capacity, were located in Ocean View.
      SPI Solar, which is based in Shanghai and registered in the Cayman Islands, now controls 26 of the 27 permits issued for the town of Ocean View, by virtue of owning the “shell companies” that control the individual sites. To date, SPI Solar has not done any site work in Ocean View. One site, not owned by SPI, shows some site work.
      Commenting on why this project is four years overdue, Ranchos resident Ann Bosted, co-author of the complaint, said, “In their response to our complaint, HELCO took great pains to explain the details of how an Interconnection Requirements Study took so long and how it was largely responsible for the delay.” Bosted explained, “Actually, the IRS was completed by mid-2013, but the developer did not have the cash to pay for the substation and transmission line. HELCO obligingly gave the developer at least 14 additional months to pay. HELCO responds as though this is how it was supposed to happen, but we do not agree. Timeliness was a key component of the program.”

Sen. Mazie Hirono attended the Council for Native Hawaiian
Advancement's convention this week.
SEN. MAZIE HIRONO RENEWED HER COMMITMENT to the Native Hawaiian community at the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement’s annual convention.
      “The Native Hawaiian community has made significant strides in growing culturally significant and relevant initiatives that benefit families across Hawai`i,” Hirono said. “However, there is still work to be done. Federal programs that improve educational opportunities, access to health care and housing demonstrate the federal government’s commitment to the Native Hawaiian community and must continue.”
      Hirono is an advocate for protecting federal programs that benefit the Native Hawaiian community. In the recent renewal of federal K-12 education laws, the Every Student Succeeds Act, she fought to protect federal grants for Native Hawaiian education programs.

Ka`u Calendar News Briefs Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2016

Hawai`i County Planning Director Duane Kanuha has approved Pahala Town Square
and Hawaiian Springs Facility. Map from Planning Department
A WATER BOTTLING FACILITY AT THE OLD  PAHALA MILL SITE HAS BEEN APPROVED, subject to conditions. In his Oct. 3 letter to developer PMK Capital Partners’ lawyer, Hawai`i County Planning Director Duane Kanuha stated several conditions required prior to occupancy of the facility. The plan approval is an administrative function without public hearings, notices or review by the County Planning Commission or County Council.
       A source of water connected to the facility is at the end of a 1,500-foot tunnel that begins on the property, leading to a well used more than 20 years ago by the old Ka`u Sugar mill.
      “The owner/applicant shall receive approval from the (state) Director of Health prior to the construction of the proposed system or modification in accordance with Hawai`i Administrative Rules Section 11- 20- 29, ‘Use of new sources of raw water for public water systems,’ and HAR Section 11- 20- 30, ‘New and modified public water systems,’ the letter states. “The owner/applicant shall also meet with all rules and regulations regarding the water bottling facility and shall also receive approval from the Director of Health prior to the construction of the proposed water bottling facility.”
Two entries on Maile Street connect to a large fountain.
Map from Planning Department
      The letter also states that “no permits (building, grubbing, grading) shall be issued prior to any construction, alteration, disposition or improvements of any nature until the State Historic Preservation Division has given its concurrence.” Residents have expressed concern about the former bank building, home to KAHU radio, which has been used for various functions for nearly a century, and other historic structures on the property. Plans show that the bank building is “to be removed.”
      Another condition limits retail sales, which “shall be incidental and subordinate to the limited industrial uses that are established on the subject property.”
      Other conditions require maintenance of landscaping, construction of parking to meet all government standards, written approval for any modifications and inspection prior to approval of a Certificate of Occupancy.
      According to the letter, height of the processing plant and warehouse building submitted to the Planning Department is about 18 feet, and the retail buildings would be around 15 feet high. Maximum permitted height is 30 feet high. The highest building on the property is the old sugar warehouse, which would be renovated, according to the plan.
      Setbacks of structures from property lines also exceed minimum requirements. Side setback are more than 270 feet; minimum required is 10 feet. The front setback is more than 133 feet, with a minimum requirement of 20 feet.
      Community concerns about the project submitted to the planning director also included mitigating traffic in residential sections along Maile and other nearby streets where there are no sidewalks. In walkable Pahala, children walk to school, residents exercise and walk their dogs, and many people travel by foot to the post office, bank, stores and other village destinations.

A SINGLE, TRAVEL-RELATED CASE OF ZIKA VIRUS has been reported on Hawai`i Island. The state Department of Health’s Hawai`i Island District Health Office and the County of Hawai`i yesterday jointly announced that the Hawai`i resident has a history of recent travel to the South Pacific and is past the point of being infectious to mosquitoes. Hawai`i has no locally acquired Zika cases at this time, and no mosquitoes are transmitting the disease within the state.
Mosquitoes spread Zika when they bite an infected
person and the bite another one.

      A DOH Vector Control team surveyed the individual’s residence and place of employment and treated any areas of concern to reduce mosquitoes and breeding sites. DOH continues to coordinate closely with its county partners to assure a targeted and efficient response.
      “The County of Hawai`i is working with the Department of Health to take proactive steps to assess affected areas for mosquito activity, educate communities and treat mosquito breeding sites,” Civil Defense Administrator Ed Teixeira said. “This event is a reminder that we all need to remain vigilant and take steps to prevent mosquito bites, especially when traveling to affected areas worldwide, and eliminate mosquitoes by emptying standing water where they can breed.”
      Zika continues to spread in multiple regions across the world, and imported or travel-related cases are expected to increase this year. Travelers are advised to prevent infection while traveling by using repellent and staying away from mosquitoes. Travelers should also prevent mosquito bites when they return from areas with mosquito-borne disease outbreaks, as well as monitor their health and see their healthcare provider about illness occurring in the two to three weeks after return from travel.
      The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend special precautions for women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Pregnant women should not travel to areas with Zika. If travel cannot be avoided, women should consult with their healthcare providers first and vigilantly follow steps to protect themselves from mosquitoes.
      For more tips on how to prevent the spread of mosquito-borne viruses, see fightthebitehawaii.com.

STARTING TODAY, HAWAI`I PUBLIC RADIO RALLIES its listeners in its biannual on-air fundraiser with an appeal to support Civility, Complexity and Creativity. HPR serves parts of Ka`u at KAHU 91.7 FM, with plans to extend coverage throughout the district.
José A. Fajardo
      José A. Fajardo, HPR’s new president and general manager, said, “In this raucous election season, we believe there’s a newly discovered appreciation for the values that public radio espouses. Civil discourse, the exploration of complex issues and the celebration of creativity may be in short supply elsewhere but are mainstays on HPR’s two programming streams. We’re proud to be that cultural oasis for our community and welcome first-time supporters.”
      The anticipated 10-day pledge drive is the third consecutive campaign in which the overall goal is less than the previous drive’s, even as operating costs steadily increase. This fall, the independent $5.3 million nonprofit is seeking $936,000; $260,000 has already been raised in early contributions.
      “Hawai`i’s amazingly generous community is one of the reasons I was drawn to this station,” Fajardo said. “One phone call at a time, HPR’s individual donors grew a single, egg-carton-lined facility in Honolulu into a network extending across the islands. Now, the ongoing, monthly gifts from our growing corps of sustaining members are providing us with a reliable income stream and reducing the amount we need to raise in these on-air drives.”
      All those who make a pledge today will be entered to win a two-night stay at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. Donors may also select thank you gifts such as VIP packages to attend the live tapings of From the Top in Honolulu and Kea`au, or Hawaiian Airlines frequent flyer miles. And throughout the drive, a series of matching funds from individuals and local businesses, such as 808 Skate or a hui of law firms, are presented to further incentivize giving.
      Donations are accepted at hawaiipublicradio.org or by calling 808-944-8800 or 808-941-3689 between 6:30 a.m. and 10 p.m. The pledge drive will be suspended for several hours to broadcast the third and final presidential debate on the afternoon of Oct. 19.
