TESTING ALL THOSE COMING INTO THE STATE FOR COVID may resume in the future if Covid cases continue to soar. Hilton Raethel, head of the Hawai'i Health Care Association, recommended the move today, saying that while an increase in people receiving vaccinations is helping combat the virus, "vaccinations aren’t going to fix the next few weeks.”
Dr. Scott Miscovich, who has led mass COVID testing across the state, told Hawai'i News Now that a minimum of 10 percent of people on the mainland getting COVID are vaccinated and that a vaccine card does not mean they won't carry COVID into Hawai'i.
Physician and state health director Elizabeth Char said travelers with Covid are likely entering Hawai'i without being detected. Statewide, the last three days marked the highest number of new COVID cases since the pandemic began. Today, alone, there were 1,167 news cases statewide with 151 new cases announced on Hawai'i Island. Char described the Covid in Hawai'i: "We are on fire."

HUI MALAMA OLA NA ‘OIWI receives $3.25 million to combat COVID, Kaʻū Congressman Kai Kahele and Congressman Ed Case announced today. The grant is a portion of $20 million released to Native Hawaiian health care organizations to aid their response to COVID-19. Papa Ola Lokahi receives $4.75 million. Hui No Ke Ola Pono receives 4.5 million. Ho'ola Lahui Hawaii receives $3 million. Ke Ola Mamo receives $3 million. Na Pu'uwai receives $2.5 million.
"Hawaiʻi is experiencing a record high of COVID-19 cases. This funding will provide our Native Hawaiian communities with much-needed resources to increase vaccination efforts, that will help slow the spread of COVID-19," said Kahele. Earlier today Case and Kahele and Case met in Hilo with Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández, of New Meico, who chairs the House Natural Resources Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples of the United States. They "discussed issues important to Native Hawaiians and their families. Access to quality health care, especially during the pandemic is crucial. This assistance will certainly help protect our most vulnerable," said Kahele
Health & Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said, "This latest round of American Rescue Plan funding is another piece of the Biden-Harris Administration's continued effort to support underserved communities that have been most affected by the pandemic. This funding will help trusted Native Hawaiian health systems continue providing life-saving resources and care to their communities."
In 2020, NHHCIA award recipients provided services to more than 7,000 patients in Native Hawaiian communities. The statement from the congressmen said, "This funding will assist Native Hawaiian communities that experience barriers to accessing health care services, including geographic isolation, that significantly impact overall health."

THE U.S. HOUSE NATURAL RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES chair visited Hawai'i Island today, along with Congressmen Kai Kahele and Ed Case. Kahele said
Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández, who represents New Mexico, discussed issues important to Native Hawaiians and their families in Hawaiʻi. As chair, Leger Fernández oversees the sole Subcommittee with exclusive jurisdiction over American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian issues in the House of Representatives.
Kahele explained that the Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples of the United States oversees matters ranging from natural resources and land management, ownership, and leasing, to Indian health care, tribal criminal justice, development of reservation economies, enhancement of social welfare and improvement of energy efficiency and renewable energy development initiatives on tribal lands. The goal of the Subcommittee is to protect tribal sovereignty and tribes' authority over their lands and natural resources while empowering tribal communities with enhanced self-governance authorities.

They talked about the100th anniversary of the passage of the HCCA and noted that Kahele introduced H.J. Res. 55, the Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole Protecting Family Legacies Act. The bill consents to a recent amendment to the HHCA enacted by the Hawaiʻi State Legislature in 2017 and signed by the Governor of Hawaiʻi under Act 80. The amendment updates the definition of an eligible successor to an HHCA residential, farming or ranching homestead lease by reducing the blood quantum requirement of a lessee's spouse, child, grandchild or siblings from one quarter to one thirty-second Hawaiian.
Kahele, Leger Fernández and Case toured the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo and visited Ka Haka 'Ula o Keʻelikōlani, the University's College of Hawaiian Language, and the 'Imiloa Astronomy Center. They also toured the Lyman Museum, accredited by the Alliance of American Museums and a Smithsonian affiliate.
Leger Fernández is a member of the Congressional Native American Caucus and holds a leadership role with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. She serves on the House Committee on Natural Resources, the House Committee on Education and Labor, and the Committee on House Administration.

1790 WAS A BAD YEAR AT KILAUEA proclaims this week's Volcano Watch, written by USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists ad their affiliates: More people were probably killed by the 1790 eruption of Kīlauea than by any other eruption in what is now the United States. Several hundred men, women, and children perished during explosions at the summit of the volcano.

The deaths apparently occurred along a trail crossing the northwest flank of Kīlauea near Nāmakanipaio, when a ground-hugging surge of hot steam and rocks swept across the ground at high speed. Wet volcanic ash fell just before the lethal surge, and several hundred people left footprints in the ash beyond the limit of the surge.
How do we know this? No contemporary accounts exist. Brief summaries written in the 1820s were supplanted in 1843 by a much longer description written by Rev. Sheldon Dibble based on memories of old-timers that were assembled by students at Lahainaluna School. These accounts, though of unique value, have posed many volcanic questions subject to multiple interpretations ever since. A field study to understand better the tragic events was made several years ago, and the results were published in 2015. This study identified most, or all, of the deposits left by the 1790 eruption and interpreted the kinds of explosions responsible for the deposits. Uncertainties remain, but the general picture mostly agrees with the sketchy early accounts and answers some of the important questions.

Three main explosions took place within hours, perhaps minutes, of each other, though they were apparently preceded by several days of smaller explosions. The first main explosion ejected wet ash that was transported southwestward by the trade wind. This ash deposit now contains the footprints of mainly women and children (as determined by foot size), who were mostly in the area southwest of the summit. About half of the footprints point back toward the summit. The ash remained wet when the following two explosions occurred.
The next explosion was the largest. Its column of ash rose 12–15 km (40,000–50,000 ft) above the volcano as interpreted from physical characteristics of the deposit, and marooned sailor John Young in Kawaihae noted the column in his ledger. The ash rose high into the jet stream and spread southeastward at least to Kaimu, more than 30 km (19 mi) distance. Around the summit, the erupted material is of sand and gravel size, much coarser than the far-flung ash.
The third explosion produced the lethal surge that sped across the summit's western flank. This explosion may actually be a late or even end stage of the preceding explosion, as the towering eruption column collapsed under its own weight. The falling hot debris hit the ground and surged downslope, trapping people on the trail. Death would have been quick, but not before some victims grabbed onto one another to keep from being blown away by the hurricane-force surge. All in all, a gruesome scene, but one that occurs all too often today at explosive volcanoes around the world.
What caused the explosions? For years geologists assumed that groundwater heated to steam powered them, but this attractive interpretation lacks definitive evidence. The wet nature of the first explosive ash supports this idea. Another possibility is that gas leaving magma was trapped underground briefly, pressurizing and finally bursting out. Such a process drove a small explosion in Halemaʻumaʻu in 2008. But again, definitive evidence is missing.
The explosive deposits consist mostly of solid rocks broken from the wall of the eruptive conduit. No pumice or bubble-rich glassy ash has been found. Relatively dense glass forms a few small chunks and sticks to the sides of some large blocks. Such dense glass indicates the presence of magma, but it was not bubbling and so may have already lost some of its gas before eruption.
Did part of the caldera collapse in 1790? Many geologists assume so, but field work has found no clear evidence for collapse. It is a reasonable interpretation, but we cannot yet demonstrate it.
Some geologists assign an age of 1790 to a lava flow in lower Puna, but that is an interpretation, not an observation. If the flow were indeed erupted in 1790, then, by analogy with the 2018 eruption, one could hypothesize that its eruption drained the summit magma reservoir, causing the summit to collapse and triggering explosive eruptions. An appealing story, to be sure, but speculative.
With all we've learned, there's a long way to go to understand completely Kilauea's most lethal eruption. But one thing is clear: large explosions can happen again.
