PRES. DONALD TRUMP'S recently released budget "is yet
another attempt to fund massive tax breaks for the rich at the expense of our
struggling families. But Congress is responsible for making these decisions,
not the President," says Sen. Brian Schatz, in a statement to constituents
this week.
 |
| Sen. Brian Schatz |
"As a member of the Appropriations
Committee, I will continue fighting to protect programs that make our
communities stronger, but I cannot do it alone. We need a Congress that will
stand up to Trump's cruel budge proposal," proclaimed Schatz, pointing to
his opposition to Trump for:
● Slashing Medicaid by $1.4 trillion dollars.
● Cutting $17 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program, which helps low income families afford groceries.
● Eliminating the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.
"The federal
budget is a moral document that showcases our values as a country. So, when
Trump releases a budget that takes food, housing, education, and health care
away from the poor and middle class families, he is sending a clear message
that this administration only cares about the wealthiest people in this
country," said the Senator.

Sen. Mazie Hirono talks story with clients who have benefited
from

SEN. MAZIE HIRONO BACKS AMERICORPS AND SENIOR CORPS,
after visiting health care workers in Hawawi`i this week. She said the experience reinforced her
advocacy for funding for Community Health
Centers
"AMERICORPS AND SENIOR CORPS SERVICES are
important to schools and health care centers; critical federal funding is
needed to continue providing services to communities across Hawai‘i," Sen.
Mazie Hirono stated on Thursday.
Derrick Ariyoshi,
Hawai‘i State Program Director for the Corporation for National & Community
Service, said, "In Hawai‘i, we are proud that more than 2,300 people of
all ages and background have committed themselves to national service programs
like AmeriCorps and Senior Corps. The DNA and footprint of their service can be
found in the many efforts to address Hawai‘i's most pressing community issues
such as housing, kupuna services, food security, education, and healthcare
accessibility. In this, we appreciate and value the support of Senator Hirono
to find innovative community solutions utilizing the talents and passions of
our citizens."

WISDOM, THE WORLD'S OLDEST MOTHER BIRD, welcomed a new chick
on Feb. 6, after she and her mate Akeakami incubated the egg for about two months, says a statement
from NOAA. The 67-year-old Laysan albatross and her mate live on Midway Atoll in the Northern
Hawaiian Islands.
NOAA and partners manage Midway Atoll
National Wildlife Refuge and Battle of Midway National Memorial within Papahānaumokuākea
Marine National Monument, at the far northern end of the Hawaiian
archipelago. Midway provides a critical nesting habitat for three million birds,
including the largest albatross colony in the world, and the most successful
breeding colony for black-footed albatross, Phoebastria nigripes, and Laysan
albatross Phoebastria immutabilis. Thirty-six percent of all black-footed albatross
and 73 percent of all Laysan albatross, as well as the endangered short-tailed
albatross, Phoebastria albatrus, return to the atoll to breed in late October,
and by the end of November, nearly every available nesting space on Midway
Atoll is claimed by a breeding pair. A single egg is laid, and incubated for a
little over two months. After the chick hatches, it will still be another five
months before it will leave the nest. In that time, Wisdom and her mate, like
all albatross parents, take turns incubating the egg or caring for the chick,
while the other forages for food at sea.

Wisdom has
successfully raised at least 30-36 albatross chicks over the course of her
life. Because Laysan albatross don't lay eggs every year, and raise only one
chick at a time when they do, the contribution of one bird to the population
makes a huge difference. Wisdom's recent addition has expanded her albatross
family and contributes to the continued health of the Laysan albatross
population overall.
"Midway
Atoll's habitat doesn't just contain millions of birds, it contains countless
generations and families of albatrosses," said Kelly Goodale, U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service Refuge Biologist. "If you can imagine when Wisdom
returns home she is likely surrounded by what were once her chicks and
potentially their chicks. What a family reunion!"
"Laysan albatross and other seabirds
depend on the habitat protected by Midway Atoll and other remote Pacific
wildlife refuges," said Bob Peyton, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Refuge
Manager for Midway Atoll Refuge and Memorial. "Albatross invest an
enormous amount of resources to raise their chicks. (They) choose Midway as
their home because it's a safe place. Thanks to the hard work of staff and
volunteers, we are restoring the native habitat that the birds need for nesting
sites, ensuring a future for these seabirds."
Midway Atoll is
managed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Papahānaumokuākea is
cooperatively managed to ensure ecological integrity and achieve strong,
long-term protection and perpetuation of Northwestern
Hawaiian Island

A PRARIE HOME COMPANION REPLACEMENT ON PUBLIC RADIO, heard

The two-hour
weekly program presents a broad range of American music - blues and jazz, gospel
and soul, old-time country and rockabilly, Cajun and zydeco, Tejano and Latin,
roots rock and pop, avant-garde and classical. For the last 20 years, it has
been hosted and produced by Nick Spitzer, a folklorist and a professor of
anthropology and American studies at Tulane
University
On March 3, New

FREE LEGAL SERVICES FOR SENIORS are available through Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i's Kōkua Kupuna Project, at St. Jude's Episcopal Church in Ocean View, on the last Wednesday of every month, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Feb. 28 is the next upcoming event. Those who are 60 years and older seeking free legal services should contact Hawai‘i County Office of Aging at 961-8626, Monday through Friday, from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., to obtain a referral.
All others seeking legal services from Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i should call their intake line on O‘ahu at 1-800-499-4302, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Paralegal Tahisha Depontes of Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i says, "Most common legal assistance we provide is helping our Kupuna prepare an Advance Health Care Directive, Durable Financial Power of Attorney, and Simple Wills. In a lot of cases, especially in remote areas like Ka‘ū or Miloli‘i, transportation is a major issue and individuals are not able to make it in to our Kona or Hilo office. To make access to justice possible for these individuals we are able to offer home visits. Legal Aid has offices in both Hilo and Kona and offers coverage throughout the entire island.
"This program is ongoing. We also do a monthly outreach in Ocean View… where seniors are able to come and ask us questions and inquire about services. We do many other outreaches throughout the island and are always looking for events in which we can participate and let individuals know about our services."
She added that a goal her legal agency would like to achieve this year "would be reaching those in very remote areas like Ocean View, Ka‘ū, Miloli‘i, and Volcano, and servicing those in need who just don't realize that help is available."
The Kōkua Kupuna Project is funded by Weinberg Hawai‘i County Senior Legal Services Project and Federal Title III Funding.
Those seeking more information may also call Depontes directly by emailing tahisha.despontes@legalaidhawaii.org or by calling 329-3910 ext. 925.
