ALL COUNTY COVID RULES REGARDING LIMITS ON PEOPLE GATHERING were lifted by Mayor Mitch Roth today, but mask wearing in public indoor places remains the rule of the state.

Roth terminated Hawaiʻi County’s Thirteenth Supplementary Emergency Proclamation, declaring an end to all County emergency rules related to COVID-19. His statement says, "As a result, effective immediately, there will no longer be a limit on gathering sizes (indoor and outdoor), which ultimately removes the County’s coveted mechanism for ‘special gatherings’ review and approval."
However, Hawai'i County residents must still adhere to the Governor’s Emergency Proclamation Related to COVID-19 (Omicron Varient), which includes indoor mask-wearing, Safe Travels requirements, and testing/vaccination requirements for County and State employees.

The Governor’s emergency order will remain in effect until March 25 unless otherwise acted upon. It is unclear if the Governor will extend his emergency rules beyond then.
"We are excited to announce a new day for Hawaiʻi County as we shift our efforts from response to recovery,” said the Mayor. “Since taking office in late 2020, our administration has worked tirelessly to manage the ongoing pandemic through fair and data-driven policies. It’s what has allowed us to keep our community safe while also allowing our small businesses and large employers to keep their lights on and their employees working.
"The decisions we made were challenging and, at times, not always favorable, but we made them with aloha, with data to back them, and with the best interest of all in mind. We believe in our community and their ability to do the right thing for everybody. Moving forward, response is in their hands, and we are confident they will make the right choices for all of us.”
The termination of the Mayor’s Thirteenth Supplementary Emergency Proclamation marks the first time since Feb. 28, 2020, that Hawaiʻi County is without emergency orders related to COVID-19 – two years to the day.
“COVID is by no means gone, but we now believe that we are getting to a point where we can learn to live with the virus,” said Roth. “Our medical professionals and frontline first responders have shown that we are capable of moving forward cautiously. We have the resources, we have the want, and we have the capacity. If we have to pivot, we will. But for now, we remain optimistic and ready to tackle the challenges ahead – together.”

Tour companies advertise flights over areas of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Parklike this one from Hawai'i Tours.
The FAA and HVNP are asking for public input on a Air Tour Management Plan.

AN AIR TOUR MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK is on the table with Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and the FAA asking for public input. The agencies encourage anyone with an interest in or concern about air tours over Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park to review and comment on the potential alternatives, which will be evaluated in an upcoming environmental assessment for the park's ATMP.
The potential alternatives include no change from current condition, restricting minimum altitudes, reducing the number of flights, limiting flight routes over sensitive areas and prohibiting flights on specific days of the week. An average of 11,376 annual flights occurred over Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park from 2017 to 2019.
People can comment through the NPS Planning, Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) website https://parkplanning.nps.gov/HawaiiVolcanoesATMP until April 1. The NPS and FAA in a joint statement said they will consider the comments as they develop the draft ATMP and will seek public comment on that draft document.

Tour companies advertise flights over areas of Hawai'i Volcanoes
National Parklike this one from Hawai'i Tours. The FAA and HVNP
are asking for public input on an Air Tour Management Plan.

"The draft plan is based on public feedback received in 2011 and data collected since then. We encourage everyone to review the range of alternatives and provide feedback to this important project," said Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park Superintendent Rhonda Loh. "Our analysis will consider how best to balance protecting wildlife, natural soundscapes, wilderness character and visitor enjoyment with managing air tours over the park. In addition, we recognize the cultural significance of Mauna Loa and Kīlauea volcanoes to the Native Hawaiian community, and the need for a peaceful soundscape for cultural practices. As part of this process we are actively engaged in consultations with Native Hawaiian organizations, individuals and other consulting parties," Superintendent Loh said.
Incorporating input from Native Hawaiian organizations and individuals is an important part of this planning process. The agencies are consulting with those who attach historic and cultural significance to resources within the park. The public has expressed concerns about air tours over the park that include noise, privacy and ecological and cultural impacts.
Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park is among 24 national parks developing air tour management plans in cooperation with the FAA. Haleakalā National Park on Maui is also seeking public feedback on its range of alternatives: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/HaleakalaATMP .

Ka‘ū News Briefs, Sunday, Feb. 27, 2022

The state Board of Land & Natural Resources accepted public comment Friday on proposed Miloliʻi Community-Based Subsistence fishery rules. See https://www.bigislandvideonews.com/2022/02/26/miloli%ca%bbi-community-based-subsistence-fishing-area-moves-forward/. The Miloli'i portion begins at about an hour and 54 minutes into the meeting.

RULES FOR FISHING AND OCEAN STEWARDSHIP AT MILOLI'I GARNERED SUPPORT DURING A PUBLIC HEARING Friday before the state Board of Land & Natural Resources. The rules are for the nearshore waters of the Miloli'i Community-Based Subsistence Fishing Area. The state Department of Land & Natural Resources' Division of Aquatic Resources asked or approval for the public hearing and it was given by the land board.

A map showing protected areas in the Miloli'i Community-Based
Subsistence Fishing Area.

The rules are proposed by Division of Aquatic Resources in cooperation with the Miloli'i community group Kalanihale with broader public input. A DLNR statement notes that Kalanihale "“has done considerable outreach work to gather support for these rules from members of the Miloliʻi community and other stakeholders in the South Kona area.”

See the proposed Management Plan at https://www.kalanihale.com/_files/ugd/

.pdf
Establishing rules for the area is more than 16 years in the making. The Hawai'i Legislature passed a measure to establish the Miloli'i Commuity-Based Subsistence Fishing Area in 2005. The language set the goal of ensuring "long-term sustainable populations of fish and other marine species.” It also aimed to “encourage the scientific study and understanding of subsistence fishing management.”
The proposed rules include bag limits for sea life like opihi, uhu, ula, kole and pāku‘iku‘i. They would also set seasons and off seasons for kole, ‘ōpelu, ‘ū ‘ū, and uhu. The proposed rules also include bans (some of them already in place) on taking fish for aquariums and taking the blue terminal males of larger uhu species; female 'a'ama with eggs; and 'opihi kō‘ele.
Among the proposed rules are restrictions on certain fishing gear and creating sub-areas within the Subsistence Fishing Area with further limitations on what can be taken.

Big Island Video News recorded the meeting and reported on testimony, including that of Cyrus Pohaku Kaupu, 12 years old, who wrote in support of the rules: “I go holoholo with my papa, my mom and Uncle Will and learn the ways of ʻōpelu fishing from them. “From scraping pumpkin and kalo, to going to the koʻa and identifying the landmarks and to knocking on the side of the boat to let the kupuna know we are here before we enter with the meaʻai. The best part is when we pull up our catch and the first thing that either my papa or mom says is, here, handing me two of the biggest ʻopelu to honi and give back to Kanaloa with a mahalo!

“Being that the Miloliʻi CBSFA was placed four years before my birth and as a next generation lawaiʻa and water man, I hope to continue catching and eating these ʻono iʻa well into my adulthood. A time where I can continue to eat the stories of our kupuna lawaiʻa.”

Most of the testimony favored the rules. Some aquarium fishers and a few others opposed them. See all the testimony at https://www.bigislandvideonews.com/2022/02/26/miloli%ca%bbi-community-based-subsistence-fishing-area-moves-forward/.

A NEW SCHOOL ATHLETIC DIRECTOR FOR KA'U HIGH & PAHALA ELEMENTARY has arrived. Tim Gould has a background in rural schools, serving as Athletic Director, coaching soccer and basketball, and counseling. He also coached college soccer.

Gould said that his during his first week he was welcomed by Principal Sharon Beck and her staff.

Former Kaʻū Athletic Director Kalei Namohala came out from her new post as AD at Waiakea High in Hilo, where she is an alumni. Gould thanked her for sharing her knowledge from being AD for 12 years here.

New Trojan Athletic Director Tim Gould comes
from rural high schools and colleges.

With being the Athletic Director of the entire school, Gould said that once he is settled in his new job, perhaps in the future he may want to help develop youth camps and intramural activities that could include the younger students.

Big Island Interscholastic Federation lists sports for the spring season for high schools as the following: water polo, tennis, judo, boys volleyball, golf, track and field, softball, baseball. Kaʻū is expected to compete in judo, boys volleyball, track and field, softball and baseball.

Gould said he has experience with schools that combine their athletes for competition. Kaʻū High and Volcano School of the Arts & Sciences joined forces this year to form the Trojan teams.

In terms of working and living in a rural community, Gould said that arriving in Kaʻū felt familiar to him, having lived in towns with farmers, ranchers and hunters with trucks and tractors and other off-road vehicles. He said the farm communities were multicultural and that he feels at home here.

He said that coming to Kaʻū is an "opportunity to leave the comfort zone and be an Athletic Director in a place with year round access to nature. He hails from Illinois flatlands and said he welcomes the ocean to mountain environment, with the different ecosystems around the island. He said he looks forward to getting to know the cultures of the people here. He said he looks forward to helping to further develop partnerships between the schools, county Department of Recreations and non-profits serving youth in the community.

He said he had experience with the affect of Covid on reducing participation in sports and academics and will work to bring both of them back.

Gould, 39 years of age, comes to Kaʻū from Eisenhower High School in Decatur, Ilinois where he served as Athletic Director and Student Council Advisor. He was an English teacher and Boys Soccer Coach and Girls Assistant Soccer Coach at Marquette Catholic High School; a Head Soccer Coach at Mississippi University for Women; Head Soccer Coach and assistant Mens Soccer Coach, as well as Academic Advisor for Blackburn College. At Carlinville High School in Illinois, he was Head Boys and Girls Soccer Coach, Girls Basketball Coach and a Social Studies teacher.

Gould earned a Masters Degree in Education in Positive Coaching from University of Missouri. His undergraduate degree is in English, with Secondary Education Certification from Blackburn College in Illinois. He received further training at the Way of Champions Conference, Atixa Title IX Training, the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association National Conference and earned the title of Registered Athletic Administrator.

The Dalai Lama is associated with the the Tibetan Buddhist Wood Valley Temple and retreat center above Pahala, where he has made visitations and met with the public. He wrote a forward to the recent book by Marya Waifroon Schwabe. of Wood Valley Temple, entitled Road to Freedom: A Journey from Occupied Tibet.

THE FIFTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ANCHIALINE ECOSYSTEMS has been announced. Megan Lamson, of Hawai'i Wildlife Fund, which helps to research and steward anchialine ponds in Kaʻū, and beyond sent out the message this week.

The symposium will be held Nov. 3-5 at King Kamehameha Hotel in Kailua-Kona. Register by Sept. 15.

The organizing committee is comprised of Lamson, Anne Farahi, Mio Kamioka, Leah Keller, Rebecca Most, Troy Sakihara, Dena Sedar and Barbara Seidel.

The event is sponsored by the state Divisions of Aquatic Resources and Hawaiʻi State Parks, Hawaiʻi Wildlife Fund, The Nature Conservancy and members of the Hui Loko network. Abstracts are due April 1. Contact hianchialine@gmail.com.

Anchialine ponds, a mix of fresh and salty water, are above and underground and are home to endangered Hawaiian shrimps and other native species. The shrimps include the herbivorous half-inch long Opae'ula and the Lohena snapping shrimp that prey on Opae'ula and grows as long as two inches.

Their threats include introduced tilapia, Tahitian prawns, koi, mosquitofish and guppies, as well as destruction of the ponds by filling them and pollution.

Native plants that frequent anchialine ponds include 'Ilima papa (Sida fallax), makaloa (Cyperus laevigatus), ahuawa (Cyperus javanicus) and Akulikuli (Lycium sandwicense), as well as native seagrass. Invasive plants range from Christmas berry to sourbush and lantana.

Locations of anchialine ponds along the Kaʻū Coast include at Ka Lae on Hawaiian Home Lands, many of the conserved shoreline areas, and within Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. The work to preserve them through Hawai'i Wildlife Fund, other nonprofits and government agencies has grown over the last 15 years.

According to U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, "Anchialine habitats are ecologically distinct and unique, and while widely distributed throughout the world, they only occur in the United States in the Hawaiian Islands. Over 80 percent of the state’s anchialine pools are found on the island of Hawai`i, with a total of approximately 520 to 560 pools distributed over 130 sites along all but the island’s northernmost and steeper northeastern shorelines."

VOLCANO WATCH TURNS ITS ATTENTION TO A VOLCANO IN THE MIDDLE EAST. Written by scientists and affiliates of USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, this week's column:
First hint: most people who know the name probably don't know it refers to a volcano. Second hint: where do many people think Noah's Ark landed when the Biblical Great Flood receded?The answer is Mount Ararat, a volcano that rises to an elevation of 5,137 m (16,854 ft) and towers over the Armenian Highlands in eastern Turkey near its borders with Iran and Armenia. A small glacier caps the mountain and is currently melting. The volcano dominates the skyline as seen from Yerevan (population 1.1 million), the capital city of Armenia some 65 km (40 miles) away and 4 km (2 miles) lower, and it has long been a cultural icon for Armenians.
Mount Ararat comprises two large cones 13 km (8 miles) apart, Greater and Lesser Ararat. Greater Ararat, the western of the two cones, is about 25 km (16 miles) wide and rises some 3 km (1.9 miles) above its surroundings. It is separated from Lesser Ararat (3,896 m or 12,782 ft high and 15 km or 9 miles wide) by a large north-south fault; many smaller cones and lava domes erupted along this fault and on the flanks of the two larger cones.

Mount Ararat began forming about 1.5 million years ago. Eruptions produced thick deposits of explosive debris, including pyroclastic flows, and lava flows with wide-ranging compositions from basalt to rhyolite, resulting in the construction of the two major composite stratovolcanoes.
Greater Ararat remains volcanically active. It last erupted on July 2, 1840, when a pyroclastic flow issued from radial fissures high on its northern flank, accompanied by a phreatic explosion.
Unconfirmed eruptions may have occurred in CE 1783 and 1450. Oral traditions recount an eruption in about 550 BCE.

Pyroclastic flows from the northwest flank of Greater Ararat killed many people and destroyed at least one Bronze Age settlement in 2500-2400 BCE. Such activity in the past 4500 years indicates that Mount Ararat continues to pose a hazard to the sparse population of the surrounding area.
Could an eruption of Mount Ararat have covered or burned away Noah's Ark, assuming, for the sake of argument, that the ark existed? The eruptive history of the past 4500 years allows this remote possibility, but since we don't know the age of the ark, the question is moot.
Biblical scholars emphasize that the Hebrew of Genesis 8:4 refers to "mountains of Ararat." Postbiblical tradition assigns the location of ark landing to Mount Ararat itself, but the name Urartu (the cognate of the Hebrew Ararat) was the name of a much wider region that happens to contain Mount Ararat. Were volcanoes other than Mount Ararat active in Urartu?

Tendurek near Mount Arawat, Turkey. Photo from Wikipedia

Young volcanoes also occur near Lake Van 120 km (75 miles) southwest of Mount Ararat; the closed-basin lake is Turkey's largest and one of the most alkaline lakes in the world, with a pH of 9.7-9.8. Basalt flows from Tendurek, a broad shield volcano which last erupted in 1855, line the road 20-40 km (12-25 miles) northwest of the lake.
At the southwest end of Lake Van is the well-known Nemrut volcano, with a summit caldera and, according to the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program, 10 confirmed eruptions in the past 6,000 years. Other volcanoes, such as Suphan, also occur between Mount Ararat and Lake Van but are reportedly a little older than those mentioned.
The Mesopotamian "Epic of Gilgamesh" also describes a huge flood, probably some 4500-5000 years ago along the Tigris and(or) Euphrates Rivers, which drain much of the area containing these active volcanoes. Some scholars speculate that the Gilgamesh and Biblical floods are the same. Such speculation can probably never be more than just that, but the possibility that an eruption in Urartu dammed a river and led to a massive flood when the dam failed may be one element of speculation that is reasonable geologically.
Whether or when the great floods of Noah and Gilgamesh actually happened may never be known. A remote possibility overlooked in most discussions about these canonical events, however, is that volcanic activity could have played a role.

THE ONGOING ATTEMPTED TAKEOVER OF UKRAINE BY RUSSIA drew a statement from Gov. David Ige this week: "During WWII, Hawaiʻi experienced first-hand the destruction and suffering caused by bombs. Now, bombs are falling in Ukraine, and the people there are experiencing unimaginable loss of life and suffering. I know the people of Hawaiʻi join me in condemning this act of aggression and supporting President Biden’s actions to help the brave people of Ukraine and hold Russia accountable."

Plans for the new Visitor Center at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park with comments due March 11.
Design from National Park Service

COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON PLANS FOR HAWAI'I VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK VISITOR CENTER, KILAUEA LOOKOUT, the park entrance and other locations are due March 11. To view site plans and simulations of the proposed changes to the park, visit: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/19519a65ac3d42bd825518909eebbdce. To submit comments, visit https://parkplanning.nps.gov/HAVODisasterRecovery or call (808) 460-6212 and leave a message.
The Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park Disaster Recovery Project with the proposed plans was topic of discussion during two virtual community meetings Thursday, Feb. 24. They were facilitated by Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park Superintendent Rhonda Loh.
Principal Landscape Architect Chad Weiser, of Otak, the architect and planning firm out of Portland, presented plans for recovery of damage related to the 2018 Kīlauea eruption. Weiser guided attendees through an ArcGIS Story Map of the project, which proposes to repair, replace, and remove/relocate critical park infrastructure and facilities damaged by the 2018 eruption at Uēkahuna (Kīlauea Lookout). Also in the plans is replacement of Hawaiian Volcano Observatory research facilities with a new USGS field station and new visitor center to replace the functions of the Jaggar Museum. Plans also call for Crater Rim Drive changes at the park entrance to improve visitor safety.

The facilities affected by the 2018 eruption include the Reginald T. Okamura building and the adjacent Geochemistry Annex building and historic Jaggar Museum. These facilities would be removed due to their present damage and lack of long-term resiliency. The project includes plans for repairing and improving the overlook, revegetating the former building areas with native plants, and incorporating historical reference to the Jaggar Museum. The National Park plan also proposes to construct a new research facility for the USGS next to the Kīlauea Military Camp.
The new visitor center building would be located next to the existing Kīlauea Visitor Center Headquarters and would provide a large covered outdoor area for orientation, ranger programs, exhibits, and special events. The existing building would continue to serve as the park headquarters and would be utilized for indoor park programs. Visitor parking and public restrooms would be expanded.
The last project element is to improve existing park entrance and re-align Crater Rim Drive. Weiser explained how visitation over the past decade has led to ongoing traffic congestion issues "that pose collision hazards for motorists and pedestrians" by the park entrance. To address this problem, the National Park proposes to relocate the intersection on Crater Rim Drive and convert it to a roundabout and add an entrance lane for administrative function.
In response to the proposed idea of expanding the parking area, meeting attendee Nancy Locke commented that many national parks in the continental U.S. are instituting a "no-personal-car policy, making visitors use park-supplied buses." Danielle Foster of NPS responded stating that they are considering this option for the future of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, however it is not part of the current proposed project.
Other meeting attendees commented on the thoroughness and conciseness of the project plans. To learn more, visit https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/19519a65ac3d42bd825518909eebbdce.

GET READY FOR CYBERATTACKS ON COMPUTERS AND ONLINE PLATFORMS warns Hawai'i U.S. Congressman Ed Case. On Friday, he urged all Hawai’i state and county governments, businesses and residents to practice heightened preparation and vigilance against cyberattacks on their computers and online platforms. He said the threat is "associated with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and

resulting sanctions imposed on Russia and Belarus."
He said he is also is relaying resources and practical advice "from our country’s leading cybersecurity and law enforcement agencies" together with a direct request that any online incidents or unusual activity be immediately reported to federal agencies.
Case said, “Today I joined a briefing to Members of Congress by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, Director of Homeland Security Mayorkas, FBI Director Christopher Wray and our other national law enforcement and cybersecurity leaders on the reality of the heightened threat of cyberattacks associated with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and our response and what each of us can and should do to
prepare, deter and respond.”

Case warned: "The bottom line is that we should fully expect and prepare for Russia and individuals and entities associated with Russia to engage in cyber warfare across the world, as they are already doing in Ukraine and have done in our country and elsewhere in the world and as we pursue our critical response through sanctions and other means. This is just as true in Hawai’i as anywhere else in our country. For although we may be physically located on the other side of the world and far from the actual war, cyberattacks do not care about physical locations. We should also not assume that the targets are just governments and businesses with key infrastructure roles. The intent of cyberwarfare is to disrupt economies and societies across a broad range and so nobody is immune."
He reported that the briefers also stated that those initiating cyberattacks could be various bad actors, starting with Russia itself but also including criminal enterprises sponsored by Russia, other countries and organizations associated with Russia, or other countries, organizations and individuals who may take the opportunity to conduct their own attacks.”
Case said that the briefers asked and urged all Americans to assist, beginning with reviewing the information, resources and contact directions through the SHIELDS UP program at the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) website at https://www.cisa.gov/shields-up. CISA also offers the following contact number for questions or information: (888) 282-0870. Case said the number one
request is that any actual attacks or unusual activity be reported as soon as possible to the federal
authorities through the CISA website or the FBI.
For the FBI, the number to call is 1- 800-CALL-FBI (225-5324). Reports can also be filed online at https://www.ic3.gov/. The FBI website features an interview with the head of its Cyber-Division in Washington, DC at https://www.fbi.gov/news/podcasts/inside-the-fbi-staying-ahead-of-the-cyber-threat-011422, with further advice on safety and security at https://www.fbi.gov/scams-and-safety/on-the-internet

Case said, “The reason for prompt reporting is that in the area of cyberattack vigilance, response and prevention time is of the essence to identify, authenticate and counter-attack,." He also relayed the following practical advice to heighten cybersecurity and head off attacks: • Update antivirus and anti-spyware software and operating systems to their latest versions. • Avoid clicking unknown links in emails • Enable and use multifactor authentication (MFA) wherever possible. • Never give password to anyone, and do not reuse passwords across multiple sites. • Turn unused devices all the way on and off once a day • If unsure about an email, link, or attachment, save it as an attachment and send it to your IT department or to the FBI for analysis.
“Unfortunately, this is the reality of instability and conflict in a modern world so dependent on technology, “ said Case. “We have some of the most advanced cyber operations in the world, but others like Russia have long known that one key way to wage war is in the cyber realm and they have no hesitation to do so. So we must meet this threat just as seriously with preparation and defense throughout our governments, businesses, communities and homes (in addition to the counter-cyber efforts we will continue to conduct through our federal agencies).”
