BAY CLINIC IS ONE OF 14 HAWAI`I HEALTH CENTERS that will receive a total of $753,064 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to support health information technology enhancements. The clinic’s allocation of $66,682 is part of more than $87 million provided by HHS to 1,310 health centers in every U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Pacific Basin. The funding will support health IT enhancements to accelerate health centers' transition to value-based models of care, improve efforts to share and use information to support better decisions and increase engagement in delivery system transformation. This is the first significant investment directly awarded to health centers to support the purchase of health IT since 2009.

      “Health centers across Hawai`i provide high-quality health and wellness services that our communities depend upon,” Gabbard said. “Yet, in Hawai`i and in states across the country, remote locations, lack of funding and staff shortages make it difficult to keep up with rapidly changing healthcare technology. Investing in our local health centers will increase information sharing, improve electronic healthcare record systems and expand access to comprehensive, quality care for people in every county across the state.”

THE PROPOSED PAHALA WATER BOTTLING PLANT has drawn more discussion. Ken Sugai, who owns the house at Honu`apo, pointed to a 2014 Hawai`i Supreme Court decision regarding a Kaua`i water bottling company. The decision drew upon Hawai`i’s Public Trust Doctrine in Article 11 of the Constitution. It states, “For the benefit of present and future generations, the state and its political subdivisions shall conserve and protect Hawai`i’s natural beauty and all natural resources, including land, water, air, minerals and energy sources, and shall promote the development and utilization of these resources in a manner consistent with their conservation and in furtherance of the self-sufficiency of the state.

David Minkin

      “All public natural resources are held in trust by the state for the benefit of the people.”

      The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Kaua`i Planning Commission after a lower court ruled that the commission “exceeded its jurisdiction” when it denied Kaua`i Springs, Inc. its permit to operate.
      In a story in The Garden Island newspaper, attorney David Minkin told reporter Chris D’Angelo that the Supreme Court decision “means that, especially when water’s at issue, that every agency that has some duty or responsibility has to take a look at it from the constitutional perspective of the Public Trust Doctrine.
      “You just can’t punt it and say, ‘Not my kuleana.’ You have to look at it. You have to evaluate it. You have to get information. And if you’re left with a question in the back of your mind that you don’t have enough information, it’s not the department, in this case the Planning Commission, it’s not their duty to go out and track down and get information.
     “ Instead, the applicant — in this case, Kaua`i Springs — must present the appropriate information.”
      The court’s ruling “basically shifts the burden,” Minkin said.
      On The Ka`u Calendar Facebook page, Mariah Penelope Aguilar posted about the use of spring from Ka`u for a bottling plant. “I would be worried that if they create a company, they might close out wells that are free,” she said.
      Jimbeaux Black, of Na`alehu, posted, “To come onto the edge of a desert, tap into the watershed for bottled profit packaged in plastic is not sustainable on so many levels. Water is being bought and stolen, in all parts of the world. This is not good for Ka`u’s future. Very shortsighted. Water is life.”
      Hawai`i County Planning Department is currently reviewing the Pahala water bottling plant proposal and accepting public comments. Emails can be sent to planning@hawaiicounty.gov, susan.gagorik@hawaiicounty.gov and larry.nakayama@hawaiicounty.gov.

VOLUNTEERS ARE INVITED TO WORK with Ocean View Community Association and Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park staff to remove invasive fountain grass from roadsides in Ocean View on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. 

      Fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum) is a highly flammable bunch grass native to North Africa. This fire-promoting plant spreads quickly and is one of the few invasive species that can colonize young lava flows that would otherwise serve as natural firebreaks. In August 2005, this noxious weed contributed to the spread of a 25,000-acre wildfire that forced evacuation of Waikoloa Village. Fountain grass aggressively chokes out native plants and increases fire potential in natural areas. It is a problem for all districts around the island, especially leeward areas.
      Volunteers will meet Ocean View Community Center at 9 a.m. Bring lunch, water, a hat and sunscreen.
      For more information, call Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park ecologist David Benitez at 985-6085, or email david_benitez@nps.gov.

Keiki and adults are invited to help remove invasive Himalayan ginger 

on National Public Lands Day. NPS Photo by Jessica Ferracane

HAWAI`I VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK invites everyone to lend a helping hand on National Public Lands Day this Saturday as it celebrates 100 years of protecting native ecosystems. It’s a fee-free day, and while all park visitors can enjoy the park at no charge, NPLD volunteers will receive a free pass to use on another day of their choosing.

      Join volunteers for Stewardship at the Summit from 8:45 a.m. to noon. Meet NPLD coordinator Jane Field at Kilauea Visitor Center, then head into the rainforest to remove invasive Himalayan ginger from the summit of Kilauea. Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and long pants. Bring a hat, sunscreen, raingear, snacks, and water. Loppers/gloves provided. No advance registration required.
      While pretty and fragrant, Himalayan ginger (also called kahili) is one of the most invasive plants in the park and on Earth. It is listed by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature as one of the 100 World’s Worst Invasive Alien Species. The park strives to protect the rainforest habitat of native birds and plants, but Himalayan ginger takes over the native rainforest understory and makes it impossible for the next generation of forest to grow. This inedible ginger species crowds out many native plants, including pa`iniu (a Hawaiian lily), `ama`u fern, and others.

Native Hawaiian groups have deemed sacred and inappropriate for the proposed Thirty Meter Telescope.

ANCESTRAL HUMAN REMAINS FROM KA`U ON TOP OF MAUNA KEA have been placed there by Palikapu Dedman, the son of the late Auntie Pele Hanoa. Dedman, whose family has ancestral ties to Ka`u and particularly the Punalu`u area, told the Hawai`i Tribune Herald that he put ancestral remains on an altar on Mauna Kea this month and last September, defending the action as a traditional Native Hawaiian practice.

      Dedman has been involved in opposition against the $1.4 billion Thirty Meter Telescope project at 13,100 feet elevation on Mauna Kea. He has long been involved in preservation of Punalu`u, South Point and native forest in Puna. He has also opposed geothermal development.

      According to the Tribune-Herald, Dedman faces criminal charges for placing human remains on Mauna Kea. The story said that “he wants to show the area should be protected.”
      A story in this morning’s Honolulu Star-Advertiser says that “Dedman said he plans to seek protective status for the altar as a burial site. He declined to provide details about how he got the remains but said they belong to relatives from his ancestral home of Ka`u. State law prohibits the excavation or alteration of a burial site.”
      According to the story, the state Department of Land and Natural Resources “has investigated Dedman’s actions and forwarded its findings to the Hawai`i County Office of the Prosecuting Attorney for review.”
      The stories also state that the Office of Mauna Kea Management reports no known burials at any of the telescope sites, following archaeological surveys.

“I AM ADAMANTLY AGAINST THIS WATER BOTTLING PROPOSAL,” said marine biologist and South Kona resident Megan Lamson in reference to the proposed Pahala Town Square & Hawaiian Springs Facility. Plans submitted to Hawai`i County Planning Department include buildings that would cover more than three times the area of the new Ka`u gymnasium, along with parking for tour buses, vans and cars along Maile Street.
      Lamson studied the waters at Honu`apo for her master's thesis at University of Hawai`i and works on coastal cleanup and anchialine pond projects in Ka`u.

      “Water is life,” Lamson said. “It is part of the public trust and needs to be protected and respected as such. The recent proposal of building a water bottling facility in Pahala is a horrible idea for Ka`u or anywhere on Hawai`i Island! It would create a massive human health issues for employees and local residents, and poses numerous potential environmental and cultural threats. 

      “Not to mention, bottled water is an environmental nightmare in and of itself. It renders water more costly than gasoline and increases our dependence on fossil fuels, like petroleum, to create the single-use plastic vessels. Worldwide, the majority of plastic bottles are not recycled, and they can create serious problems for wildlife when they end up in our oceans, forests and waterways.
      “A water bottling facility would steal water from our aquifer/watershed and ship it to some off-island customer. It would rob us of a resource that deserves to be protected for future generations. It is a very bad idea and should be opposed wholeheartedly.”

     A Ka`u Coast Cleanup takes place this Saturday. To sign up, email kahakai.cleanups@gmail.com.
      The Planning Department is accepting public comments on the water bottling plant proposal. Emails can be sent to planning@hawaiicounty.gov, susan.gagorik@hawaiicounty.gov and larry.nakayama@hawaiicounty.gov.

“KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS” was Hawai`i County Prosecuting Attorney Mitch Roth’s advice to Ka`u residents at Ocean View Community Center yesterday. His office is helping Hawai`i Island homeowners and landowners resolve squatting situations.

residents at Ocean View Community Center.

      According to Roth, three situations make houses vulnerable to squatters: the property is going through foreclosure, it has been foreclosed, or it belongs to an absentee landlord.

      He said owners who are not living on their properties or are away for lengthy periods are required by law to have an on-island representative who can speak for them about their properties when they are absent. Such a person could be contacted to find out if people at the house have been given permission to be there. Representatives can be anyone on the island, including neighbors and realtors, who he said may be willing to offer the service for a small fee.
      Roth’s legal assistant Maurice Messina is making a list of homes with squatters and talking to lawyers for bank-owned properties, encouraging them to maintain the equity of homes by keeping them from being damaged by unwelcome people.
      Roth and Messina said an amendment to the state’s nuisance abatement laws is helping. The Legislature earlier this year passed HB1561, which makes trespassing a nuisance violation that permits authorities to remove perpetrators.
      However, “in order for police to make a case, someone has to want the people out,” Roth said. He said residents are often unwilling to file a complaint for fear of retribution. Residents at the meeting also said police are often not willing to file a report.
      Roth also said neighbors can videotape actions at suspect properties. Such evidence could be used to build a case against the squatters.
      Roth also advised residents to make sure that police reports filed are listed as “Criminal” rather than “Miscellaneous Public” to reduce the amount of time it takes for his office to receive them from the Police Department.

      For help with squatters, call 961-0466, or email maurice.messina@hawaiicounty.gov.

HAWAI`I ELECTRIC LIGHT CO. HAS PROPOSED to increase base rates by 6.5 percent. According to the utility, this is the first such request in nearly six years. Funds would be used to help pay for operating costs, including expanded vegetation management focusing on albizia tree removal, as well as system upgrades to increase reliability, improve customer service and integrate more renewable energy.
       Life of the Land Executive Director Henry Curtis said his organization and Puna Pono Alliance filed a joint letter to the PUC saying that they would file a joint motion to intervene.

      “We are very concerned about high rates,” Curtis said. “We also favor a plan that allows for far greater levels of on-site generation and rooftop solar.”

      Rate reviews are required by the Public Utilities Commission every three years. If approved, a typical residential bill for 500 kilowatt-hours on Hawai`i Island would increase by $9.31 a month to $171.16. The proposed rate change will be reviewed by regulators and would likely not take effect until the summer of 2017 at the earliest.

      According to HELCO, bills reflecting new rates, if approved, would still be lower than a year ago.
      As part of the current review, HELCO is proposing benchmarks to measure its performance in key areas, such as customer service, reliability and communication for the rooftop solar interconnection process and to link certain revenues to that performance.
      Among increased operating costs driving the rate change is an extensive vegetation management and tree removal initiative. Since 2014, HELCO has spent $14 million on tree trimming and removal, concentrating on areas where falling albizias threaten utility equipment and highways. The tree removal program reduced impacts of recent tropical storms, resulting in fewer outages and faster power restoration than when Iselle hit the island.
      HELCO has also spent more than $14 million over the past six years improving customer service systems, developing technical solutions to integrate more private rooftop solar, replacing and upgrading equipment to improve efficiency and reliability and developing detailed plans to achieve the state’s goal of 100 percent renewable energy. The company said it “has absorbed a large portion of these increased costs in the years between rate cases without passing them on to customers.”
      HELCO has increased its use of renewable energy from 35 percent in 2010 to 49 percent today, using wind, hydroelectricity, solar and geothermal to replace imported oil. The company reduced its use of oil by 13 percent over the same period.

Ka`u Calendar News Briefs Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2016

CONCERN FOR PROTECTING KA`U WATER RESOURCES is welling up from conservationists studying the plan for building a plastic water bottling plant in Pahala. Ken Sugai, who owns the house at nearby Honua`po, is addressing the issue. On The Ka`u Calendar Facebook page, Sugai wrote, “I have concerns on pumping water that took thousands of years to filter through the lava and export it out of the state for profit. It sounds like what Nestlé does. It would seem that it would affect the natural springs and watershed.”

Conservationists are concerned about a proposed
water bottling operation's effects on Ka`u Forest
Reserve, a watershed for the aquifer.

      The development, which is currently under review by Hawai`i County Planning, calls for more than 136,000 square feet in buildings with a water bottling facility, storage and retail stores, along with parking for tour buses, vans and cars along Maile Street.

      Sugai also said this morning that “Ka`u’s water resources are precious. It takes rain thousands of years to percolate through the volcano down to the lens to recharge the aquifer. Thinking about the value of water is like thinking about the preservation of a koa tree. A koa tree may take a hundred years to grow. The pure water of Ka`u takes much longer. People need to realize the importance of protecting this water, especially as people around the world demand bottled water as their own clean water resources are diminished.”

      Regarding plastic bottles of water being shipped from Ka`u to the world, Sugai said that “it is ironic that organizations like Hawai`i Wildlife Fund spend countless volunteer hours cleaning up the plastics from the coast and that plastic bottles could be sent from Ka`u overseas, and some of it could come back as plastics in our ocean for us to clean up on our coast.”

      One of HWF's Ka`u Coast Cleanups takes place this Saturday. To sign up, email kahakai.cleanups@gmail.com.

      The Planning Department is accepting public comments on the proposal. Emails can be sent to planning@hawaiicounty.gov, susan.gagorik@hawaiicounty.gov and larry.nakayama@hawaiicounty.gov.

      Three awards were also granted in the hobbyist division: first place to Maria Macias, second to Lisa Komarczyk and third to Alice Hostica.

      The exhibit is on display at VAC Gallery in Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park through Oct. 9. Proceeds support the Hawai`i Endangered Bird Conservation Program and celebrate the reintroduction of the `alala into Hawai`i’s forests this November. The exhibit is open to the public and free of charge; park entrance fees apply.
      “Volcano Art Center wishes to express a sincere thank you to the participating artists who submitted work,” gallery manager Emily C. Weiss said. “The juried show is a terrific representation of this unique species, in many different media, by over 40 different artists. Special mahalo to the jurors: Paul Banko, Ph.D., Clifford Hague and Michelle Schwengel-Regala, who had the difficult task of choosing 43 artworks from the over 80 entries submitted to include in the exhibit.
      “The community support and public outreach included in this exhibition exceeded expectations,” Weiss said.
      These works plus the other 36 pieces juried into the exhibition can be viewed daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
      VAC has expanded the exhibit to its Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village, with artwork not selected by the jury on display Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., also through Oct. 9. All works are for sale with proceeds supporting Hawai`i’s endangered birds.
      “VAC is proud to support this conservation effort. We welcome the public to view the exhibit in person or online at volcanoartcenter.org to find out more ways to help support the `alala,” Weiss said.

HAWAI`I PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION has instructed Hawaiian Electric Companies, including Hawaiian Electric Light Co., to offer a new time-of-use program, which allows customers to manage electricity consumption to reduce monthly bills and benefit the overall grid.

      Traditional electricity prices are flat and do not change based on time of day. TOU programs are designed to price electricity in a way that reflects electricity’s true costs by charging customers different rates at different times of the day, instead of a flat rate. This encourages customers to reduce electricity use during times when electricity is more expensive to produce, while allowing them to take advantage of less expensive electricity being offered at other times.

      The optional TOU rates approved by the PUC offer lower electricity prices during daytime to encourage customers to use energy when solar and other lower-cost renewable sources are available. In exchange, the TOU rates are higher during the evening when the overall electricity demand is greatest (the system peak). The TOU program is the result of collaborative efforts of the utility companies and interested stakeholders, including local community groups, nonprofit organizations and renewable energy companies.

      The on-peak TOU period coincides with the time of day during which the utilities typically experiences the highest volume of residential customer demand. This period has the highest TOU electricity rate, higher than the price a typical customer would be subject to under the current residential tariff. The midday period represents the time of day during which the utilities typically experience relatively lower residential customer demand and higher level of solar and other renewable generation. This midday period features the lowest TOU period rate, below what a typical customer would pay under the current residential tariff. TOU rates are intended to encourage customers to shift their demand from the on-peak evening period to the midday period and to enable more cost-effective integration of renewable energy.
      The program offers open, voluntary, optional enrollment to all residential customers.
      The rate structure has three distinct time periods, each with its own TOU rate: a mid-day period from 9 a.m. up to 5 p.m., an on-peak period from 5 p.m. up to 10 p.m. and an off-peak period overnight from 10 p.m. up to 9 a.m.
      Another program feature is a shadow bill feature, which allows participants to compare bills under the TOU program to what they would have been under their previous residential tariff, in order to determine if the program is beneficial to them.
      The two-year program duration is subject to change by the Commission.
      Customers are able to opt out of the program at any time, without penalty.

      The PUC instructed the utilities to file a tariff for the interim TOU program within thirty days, at which time the tariff will take effect and the program will be open for enrollment. The complete order, as well as links to the docket record, may be found at http://puc.hawaii.gov/.
