A TOP NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AWARD has gone to a youth group volunteering at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Young adults enrolled with Hawaiʻi Academy of Arts & Sciences Workplace Readiness Program received the 2021 George and Virginia Hartzog Award. It honors outstanding volunteer service for work performed in a national park that 
goes above and beyond normal duty.
    A statement from HVNP says, "The youth, who cope with developmental disabilities, have made a tremendous impact at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park for over a decade by removing invasive Himalayan ginger from park forests. The youth volunteer program is overseen by the park's Stewardship at the Summit volunteers, Paul and Jane Field. Many of the areas cleared by the HAAS youth and the Fields are now repopulated with native Hawaiian plants. Through this work, the youth participants have developed a sense of ownership for their public lands and take pride in making a positive difference in the world."
    In addition, longtime Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park volunteer George Jensen earned the NPS Regional Enduring Service Award, another Hartzog Award category for the Department of the Interior Regions 8, 9, 10 and 12. The Park statement says, "Jensen, who has more than 18,000 volunteer hours in
Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, provides much-needed kōkua (help) on park interpretive media. He has constructed visitor center exhibits, installed, maintained and relocated wayside exhibits, repaired electronic equipment from the inside-out, diagnosed complex audio-visual issues, and faithfully restocks park publications every week."

the park to fulfill our mission of protecting the natural and cultural resources for future generations. George Jensen, the Fields, and the HAAS Workplace Readiness Development youth have truly gone above and beyond the call of duty. We are indebted to their contributions and delighted to celebrate in their successes." Earlier this week, McDaniel and HAAS Principal Steve Hirakami traveled to Washington D.C. and attended the National Park Service ceremony to celebrate America's national parks and the dedication of those who serve. 

    Many of the agency's top awards were presented at the event sponsored by NPS and its philanthropic partner, the National Park Foundation.

A NEW STRATEGIC APPROACH FOR DEPARTMENT OF HAWAIIAN HOME LANDS was approved on Thursday by the Hawaiian Homes Commission. The commissioners unanimously voted to approve a Preliminary Strategic Approach to Implement Act 279, which provides $600 million to help put Hawaiians on DHHL land and into homes. Thousands of DHHL acres are located in Kaʻū, at Ka Lae - South Point, above Ninole - Punalu'u and in Wai'ohinu.

        Hawaiian Homes Commission Chair William J. Ailā, Jr., established an Act 279 Permitted  

Hawaiian Home Lands in Ka'u are outlined in red.

Interaction Group to work with the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to receive guidance from counsel on topics related to Act 279 and deliberate on elements to be included in a final Strategic Plan for using the funding.

    Committee members include Ailā, Commissioners Pauline Namuo, Russell Kaupu and Dennis Neves, along with key DHHL staff. The Committee met five times.
    At the July 2022 HHC Regular Meeting, the Committee presented its draft Strategic Approach and comments from the whole Commission were incorporated into the Strategic Approach presented this month.
    "The Strategic Approach is an important first step toward effectively utilizing this historic allocation of funding," said Ailā. "What is important is that the Commission has agreed on the overall approach while allowing DHHL the flexibility to seek potential land acquisitions and innovative solutions to meet the needs of native Hawaiians on the Waiting List."
    HHC also approved the Act 279 Implementation Budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 and authorized the Chairman to make adjustments as appropriate. The Strategic Approach is the working document that will ultimately apprise the final Strategic Plan to the Hawaiʻi State Legislature. The final plan is due on December 10 , as required by Act 279.
    The Strategic Approach and budget, identified as agenda items C-5 and C-6, can be reviewed on the Department's website by visiting, dhhl.hawaii.gov/hhc/2022-hawaiian-homes-commission-meeting-schedule.

Nīnole Bridge, above, which was torn down, will be memorialized along with Hīlea Bridge, also torn down, the two replaced
 with safer bridges. The fed and state ask for public input on educational displays to be created for the old bridges and surrounding areas at Pāhala and Nā’ālehu Libraries. Photo from state Department of Transportation

THE HISTORIC BRIDGES TAKEN DOWN FOR SAFETY AT NINOLE AND HILEA on Hwy. 11 will be memorialized in a display at Nā’ālehu and Pāhala Public Libraries. The Federal Highway Administration, state Department of Transportation and state Historic Preservation Office are seeking public input. The Federal Highway Administration signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the state Historic Preservation Office, under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act "because the replacement bridges required demolition of the existing historic bridges," according to a community outreach message from FHWA.

This historic photo of Hīlea Bridge was submitted
to www.bridgehunters.com by Erick Castillo

     According to FHWA, "The interpretive materials for public display will include a summary of the character defining features including the engineering and design for the Hīlea and Nīnole Bridges and will  discuss the portion of Highway 11 that extend through the project area of potential effect that was constructed in the late 1930's and early 1940's, likely around the time of the construction of Hīlea and Nīnole Bridges. Also to be highlighted is the 1940 straightening of the Old Government Road that is northwest of the project Area of Potential Effect. The FHWA will prepare the interpretive materials and will consult with the SHPD and consulting parties during the development of such materials.

     The initial plan is for a two-panel, free-standing display at Pāhala and Nā’ālehu Libraries.

      The organizers of the display request suggestions by Sept. 15. For answers to questions and additional information, contact Lisa Hemesath at lisa.hemesath@dot.gov or at (720) 963-3473. Or contact FHWA’s environmental consultant Kristen Nishimura at Kristen.Nishimura@jacobs.com.

This caged nēnē, recovered from injury, was released in August into the 100-acre Hawai'i Island Nēnē Sanctuary. See story below.    Photo from DLNR

PRAISE FOR FEDERAL HELP IN PAYING OFF STUDENT LOANS came from U.S. Congressman Kai Kahele on Wednesday. Following Pres. Joe Biden's executive order, Kahele issued the following statement:
    "Today, President Biden took pivotal action to unburden student loan borrowers and ensure higher education remains accessible and affordable. Forty-three million borrowers will benefit from the

cancellation of $10,000 of student debt and $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients. The President's relief plan will completely eliminate student loan debt for 20 million people.
    "Canceling student loan debt is essential to closing the racial wealth gap and lowering monthly costs for Americans across the country who are struggling to keep up with the rising costs of essential goods and services. In addition, by ensuring that we cap repayment of undergraduate loans at 5 payment, this executive action will continue to ensure that everyday Americans are able to pay back their loans while still being able to invest in their futures. I applaud President Biden for continuing his commitment to strengthening our middle class and creating a more equitable America."
    The White House Brief on the measure noted that nearly 90 percent of the debt cancellation will go to those with student loans who earn less than $75,000. Thirteen percent will go to those with student loan debt who now earn $75,000 to $125,000. No one earning $125,000 or more will receive relief through this federal program.

THREE NĒNĒ WERE PLACED IN THE HAWAI'I ISLAND NENE SANCTUARY, on the lower slopes of Mauana Kea, in early August. The state Department of Land & Natural Resources reports on these Hawaian geese: "One had a toe injury. Another had a broken leg. A third nēnē had a wing amputated."

    The 100-acre sanctuary was originally created to receive 600 Kaua‘i nēnē that were relocated to Hawai‘i Island. Every year hundreds of the geese come here to mate, nest, and prepare their chicks for fledging. The three, recently rehabilitated birds have joined a more permanent population of nēnē on a parcel of land that is landscaped just for them and where they can be observed integrating into an existing population and naturally foraging.
    On Aug. 5, Dr. Juan Guerra, the veterinarian with the Hawai‘i Wildlife Center in Kapa'au, drove two birds to the sanctuary, after they were deemed well enough to return to the wild.

    “One had a toe injury that healed very well. I have a very good feeling that it’s going to do great in the wild. The other nēnē had a tough recovery after coming in with a broken leg. It was in our care for six-months and had multiple surgeries,” the veterinarian explained. “The bone has healed well, and I don’t think it’s going to affect the bird’s quality of life. The limp it has is more mechanical than painful, so I’m hopeful its injury will continue to heal and whatever discomfort it is having will be less over time.”
    The third bird, the one with the amputated wing, was released two weeks later and is also expected to live out its life in the sanctuary with few problems, according to the DLNR statement.
    When rehabilitated birds arrive at the sanctuary they are banded with a State of Hawai'i and federal leg band to help caregivers and researchers keep track of them. Raymond McGuire, a state Department of Fish & Wildlife biologist, oversees the sanctuary and on arrival day he bands birds and checks their overall health.
    McGuire said, “For the nēnē who have been injured and probably would not survive in the wild, we have worked over the years to have this predator-proof sanctuary where they can survive and not be harassed by predators like cats and mongoose. They can still nest if they find a mate here, so they still contribute to the genetic diversity of the population.”  McGuire added, “We provide them habitat and forage in an area that’s safe for them to nest when they’re ready to build their own families, and it’s great we can release injured birds here. There are many facets of this area that benefit nēnē island wide.”

Dr. Juan Guerra, a wildlife vet,
treated and placed three nēnē
at the sanctuary. 

    DLNR reported that the first two birds, released earlier this month, spent their first hours waddling around, exploring the lush rolling hills and pasture lands that comprise the sanctuary.
    Guerra describes the working relationship between HWC and DOFAW as priceless. “Together, we have an incredible team to respond to injured wildlife. When we get a call, we work together to get the animal the care it needs.”
    Observing the two birds he helped release on August 5th Guerra commented, “This is a renewal to my spirit. It’s our ultimate goal of getting birds back into their natural habitat. Seeing them here is great. I think this is the overall goal of conservation and we’re honored to pay our small role in that.”
    The DLNR report also states that "Nēnē become used to people, who often try to feed them. Habituation to humans leads to them getting hurt by golf balls, cars, off-leash dogs, and fishing line entanglements."

Our goal is to better align our process to create a meaningful and engaging way for community to partner with the County and implement the CDPs.

    "Please see the link below for the Action Committee Engagement Survey. The results of this survey will directly inform our direction moving forward; therefore, your participation is extremely important. It should only take about 10 minutes of your time. The deadline for responses is Sunday, September 18th. Please share this link with your network."
     The message provided this link to the Action Committee Engagement Survey and urged citizens to "be on the lookout for more information and opportunities for you to contribute to this effort as we seek to improve our community engagement practices. Mahalo for your participation!"

PERMITTING TO CARRY CONCEALED AND UNCONCEALED FIREARMS CHANGED with Hawai'i becoming a "shall-issue" state. On Wednesday, this county's Hawai`i Police Department announced revisions to the permitting process as a result of the July 23, 2022, Supreme Court of the United States decision in the case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc., et al. v. Bruen, Superintendent Of New York State Police, et al. 

    After that decision, Gov. David Ige said, “I’m very troubled by the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision and
asked the Attorney General for a formal opinion on how the Court’s decision will impact the State of Hawai'i. It’s important for people to know that both concealed and open carry gun licenses are not automatically granted." The governor said that "Public safety is important to us here in Hawai'i, and we will continue to enforce our firearms laws, consistent with federal constitutional requirements, to help keep our community safe.” Hawai'i has been one of the most difficult states for obtaining firearm permits.

An organization supporting adults carrying firearms explains Hawai'i law at 
www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/ccw_reciprocity_map/hi-gun-laws/

    Attorney General Holly Shikada acknowledged that the Supreme Court ruling mandates that Hawai'i make it easier to obtain permits to carry firearms. However, it is a Class B felony to carry a loaded firearm openly or concealed, including within a vehicle, if the carrier is without a Hawai'i license.

   Each county has its own permitting system through the Chief of Police and permits are non-transferable from county to county. Out of state licenses to carry, are not allowed for use in Hawai'i.

    Hawai'i County's updated application and supporting documentation forms can be downloaded from the Hawai'i Police Department’s website, hawaiipolice.com, under Services.

    Submit a copy of the signed firearms proficiency test administered by a state-certified or National Rifle Association firearms instructor of the applicant’s choosing (include instructor certification). Firearms proficiency test shall be taken with the firearm to be carried (completed within 90 days prior to submittal of application). Signed shooting proficiency test results must include shooting scores (pass/fail only is not sufficient).
    Submit two front-facing, passport-sized color photographs of the applicant (taken within 30 days prior to submittal of application).
    Submit the State of Hawai'i, Adult Mental Health Division’s Authorization for Use or Disclosure of Protected Health Information form.

    For applications associated with employment purposes, a notarized statement by the private security employer that the applicant’s duties require carrying the pistol and/or revolver and is qualified to use said pistol and/or revolver.
