SEN. DANIEL INOUYE was eulogized at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. this morning. Pres. Barack Obama, who remembers Inouye from when he was a boy growing up in Hawai`i, recalled:
      “At the age of 11, in between Disneyland and a trip to Yellowstone – I might never have considered a career in public service. I might not be standing here today. I think it is fair to say that Danny Inouye was perhaps my earliest political inspiration. And then for me to have the privilege of serving with him - to be elected to the United States Senate and arrive and one of my first visits is to go to his office, and for him to greet me as a colleague and treat me with the same respect that he treated everybody he met, and to sit me down and give me advice about how the Ssenate worked and then regale me with some stories about wartime and his recovery, stories full of humor, never bitterness, never boastfulness, just matter of fact. Some of them I must admit a little off-color. I couldn’t probably repeat them in the cathedral. There’s a side of Danny that…ah well.

Kekuhi Kanahele chants during ceremonies after Inouye helped fund
expansion of Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park at Kahuku.

      “Danny once told his son that his service to this country had been for the children…. For all the sons and daughters who deserve to grow up in a nation that never questioned their patriotism. ‘This is my country,’ he said. Many of us have fought hard for the right to say that.
      "And obviously, Rick Shinseki, (Secretary of Veteran Affairs, who also grew up in Hawai`i) described (during the National Cathedral Service) what it meant for Japanese-Americans, but my point is that when he referred to our sons and daughters, he wasn’t just talking about Japanese-Americans. He was talking about all of us. He was talking about those who serve today who might have been excluded in the past. He’s talking about me. And that’s who Danny was.
      “For him, freedom and dignity were not abstractions. They were values he had bled for, ideals he had sacrificed for. Rights that he understood as only someone can who has had them threatened, had them taken away. The valor that had earned him our nation’s highest military decoration, a story so incredible that when you actually read the accounts, you think this, you couldn’t make this up. It’s like out of an action movie. That valor was so rooted in a deep and abiding love for this country. And he believed, as we say in Hawai`i, that we’re a single `ohana, that we’re one family, and he devoted his life to making that family strong.
      “And after experiencing the horror of war itself, Danny also felt a profound connection to those who followed. It wasn’t unusual for him to take time out of his busy schedule to sit down with a fellow veteran or fellow amputee trading stories, telling jokes, two heroes generations apart sharing an unspoken bond that was forged in battle and tempered in peace. In no small measure, because of Danny’s service, our military is and will always remain the best in the world, and we recognize our sacred obligation to give our veterans the care they deserve.

Greg Herbst blows the conch shell during ceremonies with
Inouye at Kahuku.

      “Of course Danny didn’t always take credit for the difference he made. Ever humble, one of the only landmarks that bear his name is a marine corps mess hall in Hawai`i. And when someone asked him how he wanted to be remembered, he said, ‘I represented the people of Hawai`i and this nation honestly and to the best of my ability. I think I did OK.’
     “Danny, you were more than OK. You were extraordinary. It’s been mentioned that Danny ended his convention speech in Chicago in 1968 with the word aloha. To some of you who visit us, it may have meant hello, he said, but to others it may have meant goodbye.
     “Those of us who have been privileged to live in Hawai`i understand that aloha means 'I love you.' And as someone who has been privileged to live in Hawai`i, I know that he embodied the very best of that spirit, the very best of aloha. It’s fitting that it was the last word that Danny spoke on this earth. He may have been saying 'Goodbye' to us. Maybe he was saying 'Hello' to someone waiting on the other side, but it was a final expression, most of all of his love for the family and the friends that he cared so much about, for the men and women he was honored to serve with, for the country that held such a special place in his heart.
      “So we remember a man who inspired all of us with his courage and moved all of us with his compassion that inspired us with his integrity, and who taught so many of us including a young boy growing up in Hawai`i – that America has a place for everyone.
     “May God bless Daniel Inouye, and may God grant us more souls like his,” Obama said, concluding the eulogy.

INOUYE WAS A PROTECTOR of the Ka`u wilderness, helping with federal funding that doubled the size of Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park with 117,000 acres, mostly in Ka`u. He also assisted with funding that helped with county acquisition of Honu`apo, lands between Punalu`u and Kawa, and thousands of acres along Road to the Sea. During dedication of the Kahuku Unit of the national park, he traveled to Ka`u to be the keynote speaker and said, “As the urban sprawl continues to spread beyond O`ahu and into our Neighbor Islands, I think all of us will agree that we must be very vigilant in setting aside that which must be protected.” 

THE HAWAI`I CAPITOL will be the place where Sen. Dan Inouye will lie in state in Hawai`i tomorrow from 5 p.m. to midnight. The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Daniel K. Inouye Fund, care of Hawai`i Community Foundation. The program will be streamed live at www.olelo.org. A final public ceremony will take place on Sunday at Punchbowl.

Ka`u News Briefs Dec. 20, 2012

Sen. Daniel Inouye lies in state in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda today.

SEN. DANIEL INOUYE became the thirty-first and last person since Gerald Ford to lie in state in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol today as Congress and the public began to bid a final aloha to the man who served Hawai`i in Washington for more than half a century. Inouye was the Senate’s second-longest serving member. He passed away on Monday of respiratory complications at the age of 88. As President of the Senate Pro Tempore, he was third in line for the U.S. Presidency, in the absence of Pres. Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Speaker of the House John Boehner.
      Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said during the ceremony, “Dan Inouye was an institution, and he deserves to spend at least another day in this beautiful building in which he dedicated his life to represent the 50th state from the first day Hawai`i was admitted into the union.”
      The public is able to enter the Rotunda to pay respects to Inouye through 8 p.m. today. A memorial service is planned for tomorrow morning in the National Cathedral. He will lie in state in the Hawai`i’s State Capitol on Saturday in Honolulu, and a service will be held Sunday at the National Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl on O`ahu.
      The Vice President said Inouye lived his life showing “physical and moral courage,” noting his heroic efforts in World War II when he lost an arm fighting with the famed 442nd Regiment, comprised of Japanese Americans. “I never met a man with as much loyalty to his country, to his family, and to his friends,” said Biden, noting that the senator lacked cynicism even though he suffered “the sting of prejudice” and from his injuries.

FIRE AND RESCUE CREWS responded to a 9:26 p.m. alarm yesterday to a brushfire near the 63-mile marker of Hwy 11 east of Na`alehu. The fire burned in pasture on the makai side of of the highway, which was shut down for about three hours during firefighting operations. Trade winds in the area were at 20-35 mph. Twelve firefighters fought the blaze and had it under control by 10:45 p.m. The cause of the fire was reported to be undetermined. It was reported to be in an area of high grass near a transformer.

DIVISION OF CONSUMER ADVOCACY, one of the parties on the proposed contract for `Aina Koa Pono to sell 16 million gallons of biofuel refined in Ka`u to Hawai`i Electric Light Co., has sent an information request to the Public Utilities Commission asking the companies for clarification on points in the contract and other documents. 

      The Consumer Advocates asks why, if the minimum purchase amount of 14 to 16 million gallons of the proposed biodiesel will meet the annual fuel requirements to operate Keahole, the proposed Biodiesel Supply Contract will not result in additional displacement or curtailment of other renewable energy projects in the future.

      Regarding `Aina Koa Pono’s intent to conduct a voluntary Environmental Assessment, the Consumer Advocate asks for the current status of the EA and for a copy of it, “to the extent that the EA is complete.”
      The Consumer Advocate asks for a timetable that illustrates the significant estimated milestones of the AKP project, which includes but is not limited to the start date of the EA, the completion date of the EA, the date the EA is accepted by the state, dates of all required permits, engineering, material order and receipt, construction start and end, in-service.
      The Consumer Advocate requests a comparison of the impact on the surcharge if the surcharge were to be allocated to the customers in the HELCO, HECO and MECO service territories and if the surcharge were to be allocated only to the HECO service territory.

      The Consumer Advocate asks for a description of the specific benefits associated with the community benefits package that has or will be provided by AKP. “Please describe any discussions that AKP has had with the community to determine the specific benefits associated with the package that will meet the community's needs,” the Consumer Advocate says.
      The Consumer Advocate also asks the companies to identify projects “where the proposed Microwave Dee technology has been demonstrated to be commercially viable since the information provided in the AKP1 Application.”
      The Consumer Advocate seeks more information regarding feedstock to be used to refine biofuel. It asks for confirmation that approximately 900 tons/day of feedstock is required to produce 24 million gallons of fuel on an annual basis. “Please confirm that it is likely that AKP will have a firm and reliable source of the most cost effective feedstock that results in the biofuel with the best heat rate,” the Consumer Advocate says.
      The Consumer Advocate asks if alternative feedstocks have been identified and if shipping of feedstock, with associated costs, has been considered.

       A description of the evaluation assessing that the supply and quantity of the proposed biodiesel is reliable and dependable is another request from the Consumer Advocate. “To the extent that the proposed biodiesel is unavailable, please describe in detail the steps that HELCO will take to ensure that such a situation will not adversely impact ratepayers and its customers,” the Consumer Advocate asks.

      “Please discuss whether it is prudent to rely on the AKP contract to provide essentially 100 percent of the fuel needs for the Keahole,” the document states. “Please provide a detailed discussion of how HELCO will plan its fuel procurement to ensure that it will have sufficient fuel to run Keahole, especially if AKP is unable to meet its obligation, including, but not limited to, when AKP is only to meet part of its obligation.”
      The Consumer Advocate asks the companies to indicate whether the proposed contract includes any provisions regarding the removal of all plant and equipment associated with feedstock or biodiesel, “such that the property on which such plant and/or equipment is returned to its original condition before the plant and/or equipment was installed or constructed” and to provide “suggested language that the companies and AKP are willing to include in the contract to ensure that the plant and equipment to be installed are removed as necessary, as opposed to being allowed to remain as abandoned or derelict property.”
      The Consumer Advocate asks for a detailed discussion of the companies’ and AKP’s efforts to conduct community meetings since the Commission’s rejection of AKP1 “to get a better appreciation of the communities’ concerns with the proposed project.” The document asks the companies to identify each meeting held, the date of the meeting, the number of participants and the groups.
      “Please discuss the companies’ and AKP’s efforts, if any, to develop measures or benefits to address community concerns,” the document states.
      The Consumer Advocate’s complete information request, as well as other documents, can be read at puc.hawaii.gov/dockets. Docket number is 2012-0185.
      The companies’ responses to all information requests are due Friday, Jan. 4.

A Betty Crocker Landscape Award goes to Ira Ono and his
Volcano Garden Arts.

IRA ONO IS A 2012 BETTY CROCKER Landscape Award recipient. The competition is held annually to recognize and acknowledge gardeners and gardens that make Hawai`i a special place. The event is named in honor of Betty Crocker, one of the founders of Scenic Hawai`i, Inc., who supported the organization for over 30 years. 

      Ono is owner and director of Volcano Garden Arts in Volcano Village. He purchased the neglected historic property 10 years ago and, “with his passion for gardening and a labor of love has brought it back to life,” says a statement from Volcano Garden Arts. The original 1908 farmhouse is now home to a contemporary art gallery and natural foods restaurant, Café Ono. There is also a guest cottage which was restored from the original groundskeeper’s house, and the former garage is now an art studio/office.
       The garden is located at 19-3834 Old Volcano Road in Volcano Village. Admission is free, and it is open to the public daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Volcano Garden Arts and Café Ono were also recently given the Keeping it Green Hawai`i award by Recycle Hawai`i for being an environmentally responsible business.

KAHU RADIO 91.7 FM’s equipment, funded by Civil Defense, is gone from the Crown Castle communications tower on the upper road between Pahala and Na`alehu. The equipment has been transferred to the radio station in Pahala “to be reinstalled or liquidated,” according to a press release from station manager Christine Kaehuaea. She also states that “co-owner of KAHU 91.7 FM and Director of Ka`u Community Radio, Inc., Wendell J. Kaehuaea, has retired from daily radio station operations.”

91.7 FM's antennas. Photos from Christine Kaehuaea

       The statement sent to media statewide says that KAHU “received FCC approval on Dec. 12 to dismantle its last existing tower site in Na`alehu, in the southern region of Hawai`i Island, due to the station’s increasing operational expenses over the last year and lack of consistent public, local business and corporate funding.”
      The press release, issued Tuesday, says that “Crown Castle LLC, the tower owner, in cooperation with Pacificomm Systems LLC, the tower climbers, physically removed the antennas (Monday) at 10:00 a.m. from the mono-pole tower as the KAHU 91.7 FM tower crew leader, Christine Kaehuaea, station general manager & owner, manually turned off the HELCO circuit breaker for the last time, then assisted her tower crew consisting of Mike Munnerlyn, Leo Hill and Ron Ebert to unbolt the equipment and remove the transmitters to take them, as well as the antennas back to the radio station to be re-installed or liquidated in efforts to pay off outstanding operational expenses.”
      The press release states: “With the help from community volunteers, plus companies like Mike Munnerlyn General Contracting Services and Taylor Built Construction Co. Inc., the antenna and equipment re-installation was successful. Upon testing during Uncle Bobby’s “Nahe, Nahe” show at 4:00 p.m., listening on the Internet was consistent (kahufm.com), however the FM radio broadcast proved to be a challenge when their 600-watt transmitter malfunctioned. The station’s 150-watt transmitter was installed temporarily and will suffice until the 600-watt can be shipped for warranty repairs.”

Community members help reinstall the antennas at
Ka`u Community Radio station. 

       The press release says that “reports were received of strong coverage in Na`alehu, Pahala, and Punalu`u. The station is still awaiting confirmations from the Volcano area down to Kalapana.”
      The statement quotes the manager: “‘As the equipment came down, it felt good knowing that the community and our creditors are behind us in pushing the reset button,’ says Christine. ‘It is so important that we continue service, but with any business, expenses must be paid, hence our downsizing and liquidating of any and all equipment that we aren’t using.’”
       The statement puts forth: “As a native Hawaiian owned and operated community radio station, KAHU 91.7 FM is the only radio station heard from Volcano to Na`alehu and impacts 11,225 residents from Ocean View to Volcano and down to Kalapana, as well as approximately 398,695 visitors that pass through the District of Ka`u while traveling around Hawai`i island.”
      “The mission of KAHU 91.7 FM, the Shepherd, a community radio station broadcasting LIVE from Pahala, on Hawai`i island, is to embrace the communities that it serves in the District of Ka`u, around the Hawai`i island, the outer islands and beyond. As the only Native Hawaiian owned and operated station in the United States and sole resource of County & State Civil Defense emergency broadcast services to the southern region of Hawai`i island; the goal of KAHU 91.7 FM is to assist in keeping the doors of business open for local merchants and businesses, educate listeners to the Hawaiian culture and island diversity, support the community through a variety of unique avenues and offer a voice of friendship through music and other programming to welcome all into our KAHU 91.7 FM ‘Ohana’(family).”

HAWAI`I COUNTY, one of the participants on the proposed contract for `Aina Koa Pono to sell 16 million gallons of biofuel refined in Ka`u to Hawai`i Electric Light Co., has sent an information request to the Public Utilities Commission asking the companies for clarification on points in the contract and other documents. 

      In the introduction of its information request, the county outlines its concerns with the project.
      “The County of Hawai`i is the first island in the state to achieve high penetrations of Renewable Energy. A concerted effort was made and continues to be made to achieve the goals of continued renewable energy resources development because it was and remains to be the right thing to do for our island environment and economy,” the county states.
      “Consideration still needs to be made as to whether we could do better or whether regulations favoring certain technologies and/or business models are indeed beneficial for our island economy, standard of living or the overall future good of our island. We have renewable energy contracts, however, due to avoided cost rules, most of the existing contracts are linked and move with the price of oil. This adversely affects many socio-economic benefits we first envisioned when decisions were made to develop high levels of clean energy.

      The county says it encourages any effort to delink those prices, but “consideration must still be given regarding introduction of renewable energy at prices that will hurt our hard working families or collapse an economy we all depend on to sustain our island. Therefore, a hard look must be made into whether Hawai`i ratepayers should be locked into another utility contract with a cost structure much higher than the alternative renewable energies or current level of petroleum-diesel it replaces.
      “While no one can predict where the prices of petroleum-diesel will be in the future,” the county states, “it is likely that fifty to sixty percent of our Renewable Energy will be locked into the high cost of oil for at least several years to come. Pursuant to the terms of this contract, another block of renewable energy will be locked into these very high prices for many years to come.
      Another county concern with the proposed project is that it “creates an unusual cost by effectively precluding alternate and potentially more-attractive renewable energy resources from being developed” and that it “further reinforces the perception that high-cost projects, using increased Renewable Energy and Renewable Portfolio Standards, will be accepted no matter what. If system generation capacity is already in place for many years to come and there are limited numbers of additional megawatts of renewable projects that could come on-line, we must analyze each proposed project with a keen eye on the relation between generation capacity and fuel cost even more carefully.

      The county claims that, with forty percent renewable energy production/consumption per year, renewable projects are now competing with each other to get their megawatts on the grid.
      “This project, with its associated unproven technological foundation and high prices, essentially crowds out other projects that could ultimately lower the energy burden paid by the ratepayer,” says the county. “Before we permit HECO and HELCO to enter into this contract, with its inherent negative drawbacks, should we not first investigate and consider the best technological fit for our already existent natural renewable energy resources? In the alternative, we should take an inventory of possible projects by using existing resources on the system in better combination with efficiency and demand
response technologies.”
      The county says that “not all ratepayers on our island are either willing or able to accept higher electricity rates just because a product is from a renewable energy source as may be the case here.
      “From a utility perspective, this means a desirable biofuel for electricity generation project must offer consumers the opportunity to lower their rates or at the very minimum, not increase them. It is also desirable to allow further ratepayer cost reductions if operational efficiencies and/or new technologies enable further savings. This is particularly important when a large percentage of the ratepayers on our island are at the lower end of the economic spectrum and are already paying some of highest electricity rates in the nation.”
      The county’s complete information request, as well as other documents, can be read at puc.hawaii.gov/dockets. Docket number is 2012-0185.
