SUZANNE CASE, CHAIR of Hawai`i’s Department of Land & Natural Resources, was a keynote speaker at the 23rd annual Hawaiian Conservation Conference held in Hilo this week. Case, who spent early childhood years on the Big Island, talked about The Nature Conservancy’s success in preserving Kamehame, the hawksbill turtle nesting site on the coast makai of Pahala. She also mentioned preservation of some of the most pristine native forests in the state along waterways and in the mountains and valleys between Wood Valley and Na`alehu. Case helmed TNC prior to her nomination by Gov. David Ige to head DLNR and her confirmation by the state Senate in April.

     Case talked about her new responsibility at DLNR and the importance of bringing people with different points of view together to solve problems. On Mauna Kea, she noted that the state plans to transfer 10,000 acres on the mountain from University of Hawai`i to the direct stewardship of DLNR and promised to involve numerous stakeholders.

      Case also said she wants to improve DLNR’s relationship with hunters. “We need to focus on ways to enhance hunting that don’t need to conflict with forest conservation,” Case said. She wants to provide more hunter access to game management areas, create adaptive game management plans and “have real dialogue with hunters and support things that they want. If we work together on a wide variety of things, we can move forward in a truly non-confrontational approach and try to find solutions for everyone.”

HAWAI`I DEPARTMENT OF LAND and Natural Resources is seeking public input on its updated Hawai`i State Wildlife Action Plan, which lays out strategy and plans of DLNR and its partners to address conservation needs of Hawai`i’s native wildlife over the next 10 years. 

      The Action Plan reviews the status of the state’s native terrestrial and aquatic species, over 10,000 of which are found nowhere else on earth, and presents strategies for long-term conservation of these species and their habitats.
      The plan is being updated to continue coordinated and comprehensive planning and implementation of conservation strategies and actions to manage and restore native wildlife.
Completion of the plan will also enable DLNR’s ongoing participation in the national State Wildlife Grant Program, administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which provides over $450,000 per year for projects to conserve native wildlife. This plan identifies projects, strategies and priorities for Department funding under this grant program.

      A copy of the 2015 draft plan is now available for review on DLNR's website, and a copy can be downloaded at http://dlnr.hawaii.gov/wild-life/files/2015/07/SWAP-2015-Pub-draft.pdf.
      The 2015 plan contains a comprehensive description of the wildlife resources of the state and an explanation of the major threats and challenges facing native wildlife. It identifies species of greatest conservation need and their habitats and includes the strategies for addressing the conservation needs of those species and their habitats.
      The 2015 SWAP builds on conservation successes since 2005 and calls for expanding and strengthening partnerships that have been developed to implement the plan. The 2015 plan is a progression of the 2005 first edition of this plan, then called the Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy and continues collaborative efforts among resource managers, biologists and concerned individuals statewide that began with the 2005 plan.
      The deadline for completing and submitting the plan to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is Oct. 1.
      DLNR has scheduled statewide meetings to provide information about the plan and gather input from interested parties. On Hawai`i Island, meetings are 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 19 at DLNR Division of Forestry in Hilo and on Thursday, Aug. 20 at Waimea Community Center.
      Deadline for public comments to be submitted is Aug. 31. Written comments may be submitted to 
Division of Forestry and Wildlife, 
1151 Punchbowl Street, Room 325, 
Honolulu, HI 96813. Email comments may be submitted to John.P.Vetter@hawaii.gov.

HURRICANE HILDA CONTINUED to strengthen as the Category Four storm entered the Central Pacific. At 11 a.m. this morning, Hilda was 865 miles east-southeast of Hilo and is expected to weaken to a tropical depression, due to cooler ocean temperatures and wind shear, before reaching the vicinity of Hawai`i next week.

Ka`u News Briefs Friday, Aug. 7, 2015

Construction to minimize flooding at Kawa Flats can now begin, following release of funds by Gov. David Ige.

TWO KA`U CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS are included in funding of more than $40 million released by Gov. David Ige yesterday. Construction of drainage box culverts and raising the roadway in the vicinity of Kawa to minimize flooding received $680,000. Repairing a termite-damaged gym floor and showers and replacing lockers at Ka`u High School received $550,000. 

      “Building a Hawai`i we are proud to call home requires us to maintain and improve state facilities,” Ige said. “These priority projects are investments that will boost our economy and better serve Hawai`i’s people.
      “Funds spent now to repair and maintain the state’s housing facilities and schools will reduce project backlogs and prevent the maintenance requirements from becoming more significant in the coming years. More importantly, they will support families and children allowing them to thrive.”
      As one of its several airport projects, the state allocated $2.7 million to Kona International Airport for design of terminal modifications to improve capacity, efficiency and security.
      “The airport projects will enhance the operation and safety of the major gateways to our islands, and the highway improvements are necessary for the safety of all who travel on our roadways,” Ige said. “Airports and highways must be maintained not only for our residents, but also for our visitors, as they are the welcoming face to our island state and help support Hawai`i’s economic vitality.”

Jim Brady

VOLCANO AND OTHER BIG ISLAND citizens are forming a Hawai`i Chapter of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. The Brady Campaign was formed when a mentally troubled young man with easy access to a firearm permanently disabled Jim Brady, the Press Secretary to President Ronald Reagan, in a shooting attempt on the life of the President. 

      Member Ross Rammelmeyer said that after the Newtown gun slaughter of a classroom of students, their teachers and the school principal, the Volcano group vowed to act. Rammelmeyer said the chapter will focus on the current epidemic of gun violence, the threat posed by the flood of guns and the violence they create as a public health hazard. According to Rammelmeyer, gun violence is the second largest cause of death and injury to Americans between the ages of 14 and 55. 

      “As with many of us, I’m no newcomer to the tide of gun violence in the United States,” Rammelmeyer said. “Twenty years ago, the Kmart big box retail store in Bridgehampton, New York, opened a ‘sporting goods’ department, featuring assault weapons, semi-automatic pistols, large capacity ammunition magazines and Saturday Night Special pistols next to the store’s toy department. I had two young grandsons in school near the store. One other person and I conducted a darned cold and snowy two-week protest vigil near the store’s entrance. The ‘sporting goods’ department was removed.
      “Fast-forward two decades and about 340 million guns flooding America later. Today in America a man, woman or child is shot dead about every 15 minutes. Streets in several American cities are more deadly than the streets of Kabul or Baghdad. With mass shootings becoming so banal that they are not even considered worthy of news attention, I decided ‘Enough is enough!’
      “In Hawai`i, gun violence resistance may begin with just 'a few, we happy few.' But that’s how most things start. Anyone who thinks we can remove 340 million guns from America is just plain nuts. But we may be able to convince most of us in Hawai`i to cope with and combat the enormous threat to our lives and safety that they represent.”

Current forecast calls for Hilda to head northwest before
reaching Hawai`i. Map from NOAA

HILDA IS NOW A HURRICANE on its way toward the Central Pacific. According to the National Hurricane Center, Hilda should be steered westward to west-northwestward by a deep-layer subtropical ridge to its north for the next 48 hours or so. After that time, a mid- to upper-level low is expected to develop north of the Hawaiian Islands, which should cause the storm to turn generally northwestward before reaching Hawai`i. 

      The forecast calls for Hilda’s continued strengthening at a slower rate through 36 hours. After 48 to 72 hours, the cyclone is expected to encounter strong southwesterly vertical shear and decreasing sea surface temperatures, and this combination should cause significant weakening.

SEN. MAZIE HIRONO CALLED FOR RESTORATION of landmark legislation signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson that prohibits discrimination in voting.
      “Fifty years ago, the Voting Rights Act gave millions of Americans a voice in our democracy,” Hirono said. “For the first time, federal protections guarded minority voters against unfair and inhumane literacy tests and discrimination. While our nation has come a long way in fighting disenfranchisement, we still have a long way to go in ensuring every American has the right to cast a vote.

Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson

      “The landmark VRA came just months after civil rights activists endured injury and indignity during the Bloody Sunday march for voting rights from Selma, Alabama to the state capital of Montgomery. In March, I joined civil rights leaders in Selma in commemorating the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday where I was reminded of the perilous history of this fight. 

      “Today, though it has been grievously weakened by the Supreme Court, the VRA continues to protect the right to vote in the United States. Thanks to VRA provisions, Hawai`i voters who speak English as a second language have access to Japanese, Ilocano and Mandarin Chinese ballots.
      “However, there is much work to be done to live up to the promise that those on the Edmund Pettus Bridge fought for fifty years ago. The Supreme Court’s Shelby County v. Holder decision gutted key provisions of the VRA. Today, I stand with President Obama, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and my friend Congressman John Lewis in calling for the full restoration of the Voting Rights Act.

Face painting and furry friends are part
of ho`olaule`a fun tomorrow.

      “One of the founding principles of our nation is that all are created equal. But our fight to ensure all are protected is not done. Every election, voters report bias at the polling place. We must continue fighting to uphold and strengthen the VRA, and other pieces of critical civil rights legislation, to ensure that everyone is protected and no one is discriminated against, no matter who they are, who they love, where they live, or what they look like.”

Kahuku Unit has many free programs on weekends this month, including The Birth of Kahuku this Saturday.

FORMER HAWAI`I VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK SUPERINTENDENT Bryan Harry told Hawaiian Conservation Alliance conferees yesterday that a university partnership with the national parks called the Pacific Cooperative Studies Group has contributed significantly to the understanding and protection of native and natural systems.

      Harry is one of the founding members of Hawaiian Conservation Alliance, which has put on the conference wrapping up tomorrow in Hilo, for 23 years. He said that the Pacific Cooperative Studies Group, founded 40 years ago, has enabled the university to have top professors involved in management of the resources in the park and in documentation and studies that also help with management.
       A story by Ivy Ashe in this morning’s Hawai`i Tribune-Herald explained that “today, there are nearly 350 staff members in the PCSU. Forty-eight percent are present or former University of Hawai`i students, and 21 percent are Native Hawaiians. Its long-term projects cover everything from studying the hoary bat population to the Maui parrotbill’s habitat. ...
      “As the years went by, the PCSU began to work on community outreach, something that was not funded nor considered a priority in the organization’s early days. And when outreach did become a focal point, volunteers and staffers found it difficult to convey their messages to private landowners. The technical reports weren’t something an average person would pick up and spend an afternoon reading, and the issues the PCSU was trying to broach weren’t without controversy.”
      Ashe said, “The public’s mindset toward conservation began to change in part because of grassroots efforts at Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park. For instance, several Youth Conservation Corps groups helping build ungulate fencing involved local kids.”
      Christy Martin, a 16-year PCSU veteran, told Ashe, “That really starts the ball moving. They started to see the native plants and become concerned for them.”
      Martin told Ashe that outreach is about “putting a human face to conservation” and making what seems abstract a personal matter. She gave the spread of invasive miconia in the 1980s as an example where the issue comes literally into people’s backyards.
      “All of a sudden, you had (the plants) on private lands. It really changes what needs to happen,” Martin said.

Greggor Ilagan

PUNA’S TWO-TERM COUNTY COUNCIL MEMBER Greggor Ilagan is running for state Senate, the seat currently held by Sen. Russell Ruderman. 

      “A great future is dependent on footprints of great leaders,” Ilagan said. “It was true then in my past when I was in the military, and more so now while I am serving in the County Council.
      “The future of politics as I’ve always seen it is about the people. I want to continue making a difference on the issues affecting our families, friends and neighbors. This has compelled me to run for state Senate.
      “I will continue being the person who listens to people’s concerns and solve problems important to them. I need your support, and can’t wait to see what we will accomplish together for a better tomorrow.”
      Ruderman’s four-year term in the Senate expires next year, and he has not decided whether or not to run again. According to Nancy Cook Lauer, of West Hawai`i Today, he is considering running for mayor of Hawai`i County or County Council. Mayor Billy Kenoi has reached his term limit.

Tropical Storm Hilda is following Guillermo toward Hawai`i. Map from NOAA

GUILLERMO IS PASSING to the north of Hawai`i Island and is now on a westward path that could impact O`ahu and Kaua`i before leaving the state.

      Tropical Storm Hilda is following Guillermo’s path in the East Pacific, reported the Central Pacific Hurricane Center and National Hurricane Center in Miami. Guillermo is now below tropical storm intensity as it tracks north of the state. Hilda’s cloud pattern has significantly increased in organization since late yesterday. It is forecast to become a hurricane by Sunday but, like Guillermo, lose strength before reaching the vicinity of Hawai`i next week.

Hawai`i Ag Extension Service offers advice for coffee berry borer management.

A WARNING TO EXERCISE coffee berry borer control as harvest season approaches has been issued by the University of Hawai`i Ag Extension Service. Agent Adrea Kawabata wrote to farmers yesterday: “CBB populations will explode if you stop spraying during the harvest season. Continue to sample, monitor and spray for CBB throughout the harvest season and especially after picking, as CBB tends to be actively moving around the coffee trees and farm because of the shaking of trees and removal of cherry. Completely enclose picking bags, and line them on the inside with a plastic trash bag, if possible, to reduce CBB escapes.” 

      Coffee berry borers first damaged orchards in Kona and spread to Ka`u. For assistance, Kawabata can be reached at 322-4892 or andreak@hawaii.edu.
      For more education on coffee, see http://hawaiicoffee.weebly.com/educational-events-and-announcements.html.
