THE WEATHER SYSTEM THAT PUMMELED KA`U last night has moved to the west. Remnants of Tropical Storm Fausto dumped several inches of rain on Ka`u and caused the National Weather Service to issue flash flood warnings. Locations in the warning included Wood Valley, Pahala, Punalu`u Beach, Punalu`u, Kawa Flats and Na`alehu.

      A flash flood warning means that flash flooding is imminent or already occurring. When such a warning is issued, campers and hikers should avoid low-lying flood prone areas. People should stay away from streams, drainage ditches and low-lying areas prone to flooding. The rainfall and runoff will cause hazardous driving conditions due to ponding, reduced visibility and poor braking action.
      Do not cross fast-flowing or rising water in vehicles or on foot. “Turn around, don’t drown,” is the National Weather Service’s advice.
      While the flash flood warning has been cancelled, weather forecasts say more heavy rain from the former storm could come in from the east today.
      Forecasters are also watching an area of disturbed weather centered about 1,550 miles east-southeast of Hilo. Slow development of this system is possible over the next couple of days while it moves to the west of west-northwest at 10 to 15 miles per hour. This system is expected to cross into the central Pacific on Wednesday. It has a 20 percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone by early next week, according to forecasts.

KAHUKU UNIT OF HAWAI`I VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK hosted the 34th annual Cultural Festival Saturday. The theme was Ka`u Hiehie I Ka Makani, which means Ka`u Regal in the Gales, referring to the multi-directional winds that cool the land in Kahuku.
      Participants enjoyed hula kahiko and music, watched skilled practitioners demonstrate their art, tried their hand at Hawaiian crafts and tasted traditional Hawaiian foods. Performers included Na Hoku Hanohano award-winning singer and `ukulele artist Diana Aki, known as the Songbird of Miloli`i, Kumu Hula Mamo Brown and Halau Ulumamo o Hilo Paliku, falsetto singer Kai Ho`opi`i, kupuna hula by Haunani Medeiros and more.

      The national park also offered two hikes during the festival, including the new Pu`u o Lokuana hike that took participants to the top of the cinder cone for breathtaking views of lower Ka`u.

RANDY RUIS, OF OCEAN VIEW, IS RUNNING as a non-partisan candidate in state Representative District Five. He provided information about his views to the League of Women Voters.

      Ruis, a teacher at Konawaena High School since 2003, taught Driver Education for many years. He said there are many transportation issues that he would like to address. Chief among them are roadside rest stations for the Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park/Ka`u/Kona corridor.

      “Residents and visitors have faced the challenge of locating a restroom while making the 96-mile drive to Volcanoes National Park, the number one attraction on the island,” Ruis said. “After passing the restrooms at Manuka Park, in either direction, there is not another restroom facility on the Belt Highway until Captain Cook or Wai`ohinu.” He said he believes that residents and tourists alike deserve clean, well maintained sanitary rest stations and that everyone will benefit from these added facilities. He added that the parking lot areas could serve a dual purpose as emergency landing pads for rescue helicopters, which he said is especially important for residents of rural Ka`u and South Kona.

of Representatives, District Five

      “Healthcare Services for our rural community are of primary importance,” Ruis said. “There has been talk about a new hospital for North Kona. It is important that services now offered at our hospital in Kealakekua are not discontinued, requiring residents to leave our district in order to receive medical treatment.”
      Ruis said that, as a teacher, he is a supporter of public education and charter schools. He is a member of Hawai`i State Teachers Association and also supports organized labor and rights to negotiate fair contracts.

MEASUREMENTS FROM SPACE OF CARBON DIOXIDE on Earth could be helpful in detecting volcanic restlessness, according the latest issue of USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory’s Volcano Watch. The article explains that volcanic CO2 is associated with magma supply, and volcanoes can release significant amounts of CO2 during large eruptions.
      The article discusses the mission of the recently launched Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2, or OCO-2, to map distribution of CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere, on a continuing basis, for at least two years. The mission’s chief goal is to gather information about Earth’s carbon cycle — a global-scale topic with many variables.

      “In general, human activity and some processes of nature act as CO2 sources, pumping huge amounts of this greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, while other processes occurring in the oceans and on land act as sinks, removing it,” the article explains.

satellites. Photo from HVO courtesy of NASA

      “Studies have shown convincingly that before the industrial age, human sources of CO2 were small, compared with the carbon-removing influence of vegetation, oceans and other natural processes. Modern carbon inventories indicate that the balance has been tipped the other way: we’re putting more Co2 into the air than Earth processes can practically remove.
      “OCO-2 will attempt to unravel this mystery through its mapping of the amount and location of CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere at an unprecedented level of precision and sensitivity. This feat, if accomplished, will produce a better quantitative understanding of regional CO2 sources and sinks.
      However, the article says, “even if the OCO-2 mission is wildly successful, challenges will remain for applying these CO2 maps to volcanoes. Although the OCO-2 should, theoretically, be able to see fairly small CO2 concentration differences on the Earth’s surface, the detection footprint (as small as one square mile) is of the same order as the central crater of many volcanoes where CO2 is emitted. And once volcanic CO2 is released to the atmosphere, it begins to disperse and dilute, making it harder to detect.”

THE FLEDGLING KA`U BRANCH of Hawai`i Farmers Union United held an organizing meeting last night at Ka`u Coffeehouse in Na`alehu, and David Case, the statewide secretary of the organization, reviewed the history of the national Farmers Union United founded in 1902.
      He said that the Farmers Union is unrelated to labor unions, predating them. He said Farmers Union United was formed to help family farms with such efforts as getting products to market. He said it was founded at a time when the name “union” meant cooperating, as with electrical co-ops that were organizing to bring energy to farms across the nation. Union was a commonly used term and often used to refer to the country, the United States.

State Rep. Richard Creagan encourages small
farmers to become involved in the political process.

      Case described the organization as a “bottoms up” group where leaders represent members and do not act on their own without discussion and approval by members. He said conflict of interest rules prevent leaders from using the organization for personal benefit.
      He said the Farmers Union is set up to protect and benefit small family farms. He contrasted its history with the American Farm Bureau, which he contended was “founded by the Rockefellers and the Vanderbilts” to serve corporate agriculture, with different goals than the Farmers Union.
      Case said Hawai`i Farmers Union is approaching 500 members. Membership is $45 a year, with $5 going to the national organization, which has offices in Washington, D.C.
      Legislation, education and enterprise are priorities, he said. The organization is increasingly involved at Hawai`i state Legislature each year.
      State Rep. Richard Creagan, who is acting vice-president of the Ka`u branch, said it is important for small farmers to become more involved in the political process. County Council candidate Richard Abbett, who is acting treasurer of the Ka`u branch, said later that he is volunteering his services to help at the Legislature as he has extensive experience in advocating on behalf of community organizations at state Legislatures.
      The meeting also included a presentation on fig farming in Ka`u and a discussion on possible products from hardy and pesky plants, from Christmas berry to guava and “Hawaiian oregano.”
      Ka`u Natural Farming practices and ideas came from speaker Richard Perea.

A new report offers suggestions on improving Hawai`i
Island's transportation systems.

“DESPITE THE GEOGRAPHICAL COMPLEXITIES associated with islandwide transportation connectivity and accessibility, there are a number of optimizing cost-effective technological innovations available both in public transit and through the private sector.” This is the conclusion of a report by the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment for The Kohala Center. 

      According to the report, while the average public transit commute time for rural areas is 50 minutes, Hawai`i Island’s average is 68 minutes.
      The report calls for improvements to the Hele-On bus system to increase ridership and reduce personal vehicle use. Suggestions include redesigning routes with more direct and express trips, clearly defining stops and scheduling service to optimize times and peak hours.
      Improving communication would also increase Hele-On ridership, the report says. It suggests upgrading and redesigning the mass transit system’s web page to make it user-friendly, interactive and intuitive. It also calls for clear signs at designated bus stops, clear and more intuitive route mapping, major communication campaigns when changes are made and web and mobile phone applications with GPS tracking of vehicles.
      Car-share and ride-share services would also reduce the number of personal vehicles on roads, the report states. It suggests engaging the business community to introduce such programs and implementing car-share services in existing rental car agencies.
      The report, Expanding Transportation Opportunities on Hawai`i Island, is available at deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/106554/Hawaii%20Transit_Final_for%20distribution_2014.pdf?sequence=1.

Eight-man football returns to Ka`u High in the upcoming school year.

KA`U HIGH SCHOOL TROJANS’ EIGHT-MAN FOOTBALL TEAM will have more opportunities to play in the upcoming season. Following Ka`u High’s pioneering effort in fielding Hawai`i Island’s first eight-man team when there weren’t enough players for an 11-man team last season, Pahoa and Kohala plan to have eight-man teams this year, reports J.R. De Groote, of West Hawai`i Today. 

      While there are still not enough leagues to have an official eight-man football state championship, Ka`u athletic director Kalei Namohala told De Groote she has spoken with Maui Interscholastic League’s coordinator about the possibility of a champion vs. champion post-season matchup.
      “I’m glad that we got to do eight-man last year,” Namohala said. “I’m so proud of our kids, coaches and community that embraced it. I believe in helping our students succeed in life through whatever positive means available and within our limitations.”

U.S. SENS. BRIAN SCHATZ AND MAZIE HIRONO are cosponsors of the Protect Women’s Health from Corporate Interference Act that Schatz said “would protect families from corporate interference and make sure that employers cannot deny women essential health benefits mandated by federal law,” including birth control coverage.



      “Corporations aren’t people, and they should not be given Constitutional rights,” Schatz said. “The health and welfare of people should always come before corporations. Our bill will ensure women have the right to make personal health care decisions for themselves and their families.”

      In a divided decision regarding a case brought by owners of Hobby Lobby stores, the U.S. Supreme Court last month ruled that closely held private corporations can impose their religious beliefs on women by denying them birth control coverage as part of their health insurance.

      Hirono denounced the Supreme Court’s five-to-four decision. “The Supreme Court based this decision on the fact that Hobby Lobby is a ‘closely held corporation,’ and therefore the religious liberty of the humans who own and control the corporation must be protected,” she said. “I disagree with the five Justices’ interpretation of the applicable federal law and will join my colleagues to overturn this decision so that women who work for companies like Hobby Lobby will have access to health care coverage to which they are entitled.”

“WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR KA`U? “What weight will you give to community testimony?” Moderator Kristine Kubat, of Recycle Hawai`i, posed these questions to Hawai`i County Council District Six candidates at a forum held Wednesday at Pahala Community Center. 

      Maile David, of Captain Cook, said, “The direction of Ka`u has to be in the hands of the citizens. It’s the people’s right to decide where they want to go.” She said she would make decisions based on community input. She brought up the Ka`u Community Development Plan, saying it is “a document that drives what the community wants. We need to complete it and implement it.”

      Richard Abbett, of Ocean View, said, “Ka`u need to remain wild,” while acknowledging and supporting its agricultural economy. He said he was involved in CDPs in Washington, where he saw development as the “result of a stacked deck.” He also said he agrees with council member Brenda Ford’s effort to require the county Planning director to visit every site of development, “even if it is expensive.” Ford had introduced Bill 182 at the County Council in an attempt to prevent the Planning Department from approving projects that violate Community Development Plans, but it did not pass.

      Regarding his vision of Ka`u, Jim Wilson, of Volcano, said he, as a council member, would “reflect what the community wants.” Regarding public testimony, Wilson said, “You have to give it every weight.”
      When asked if they support home rule for all issues in the county, all candidates said they do.
      An audience member asked, “How will you represent we the people in a corrupt political system” that includes “greed and corporate buy-off?”
      Wilson said there’s no room for corruption.
      David said, “Corruption happens when you participate in corruption. I will not be corrupt.”
      Abbett pointed to his work in fisheries, where he “bent the will of the greedy to the will of the community.”
      In closing, Kubat asked, “Why should environmentalists vote for you?”
      Wilson said, “Everybody has to be an environmentalist. I have no problem doing what I can do to help out.”
      David pointed to her “track record” and support of “our need to keep our island from being overly developed in an insensitive way.”
      Abbett said he has a “long, proven record of environmental protection. We need to know how ecosystems work and that balance creates a diversity of species.”

Ka`u Hospital has released its Community Health Needs Assessment.
Photo by Julia Neal

KA`U HOSPITAL’S COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE has prioritized health needs of the community and strategies to address those needs. Its recommendations are reported in the Community Health Needs Assessment, based on information gathered through surveys and community meetings. 

      One priority identified is improving access to primary and specialty care. The committee recommends that the hospital review its clinic’s practices to improve access for existing patients and add primary care providers to match demand. The report notes that “critical mass” is needed to support additional providers.
      Another suggestion is for the hospital to investigate opportunities for telehealth to improve access to specialty care or opportunities to share clinic space with visiting specialists.
      The committee also recommends exploring options to bring some form of dialysis care to Ka`u and to promote access to prenatal care here.
      To improve access to physical therapy, the committee suggests that Ka`u Hospital could consider building an inpatient rehabilitation program, pending its ability to obtain therapy staff.
      The report also suggests that the hospital aim to provide outpatient physical therapy after hospital renovation creates additional outpatient space.
      Another identified priority is to improve access to more imaging services, including CT, ultrasound and mammograms. While Ka`u Hospital currently has the ability to do emergency ultrasounds, the committee recommends further assessment of costs and benefits of additional imaging therapies.
      Next Saturday, July 19 at 2 p.m., Ka`u Hospital hosts the annual public meeting of Hawai`i Health Systems Corp.’s East Hawai`i Regional Board of Directors.

Christopher Yuen

FORMER HAWAI`I COUNTY PLANNING DIRECTOR Christopher Yuen is one of three new nominations to the state Board of Land and Natural Resources. All are interim appointments effective immediately and are subject to state Senate approval.
      Yuen fills an at-large seat and a BLNR requirement of having experience in conservation.
      Yuen, a resident of Ninole, held BLNR’s Hawai`i County seat from 1990 to 1998. He is currently on advisory councils for the Laupahoehoe and Puuwaawaa Experimental Tropical Forest. Since 1995, Yuen has been owner and manager of The Family Farm, Inc., a 20-acre certified organic farm supplying local markets with bananas, lychees and rambutans. Previously, he was also Hawai`i County’s deputy corporation counsel, an interpretive naturalist for Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park and a private attorney.
      Yuen received a bachelor’s degree in human biology from Stanford University, a master’s degree in environmental science from State University of New York’s College of Environmental Science and Forestry and a juris doctorate from UH William S. Richardson School of Law.
      Other nominations are Vernon Char and Ulalia Woodside, both of O`ahu.
      “Because of several recent resignations, these appointments were expedited to ensure that the land board would have sufficient members to conduct business without interruption to its meeting schedule,” Gov. Neil Abercrombie said. “Vernon, Ulalia and Chris all have extensive background in public service, and Hawai`i’s resources will benefit from their commitment and passion.”
      The Department of Land and Natural Resources, headed by an executive BLNR, is responsible for managing, administering and exercising control over public lands, water resources, ocean waters, navigable streams, coastal areas (except commercial harbors), minerals and all interests therein within the state, as well as 750 miles of coastline.
