AS PART OF NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK, the National Retail Federation named Sen. Brian Schatz one of its “Heroes of Main Street” for his commitment to supporting local retail. This year, in particular, the NRF recognized members of Congress who are seeking to level the playing field between brick and mortar and online retailers.

Street," including Sen. Brian Schatz. Photo from NRF

      “Retail is critical to Hawai`i’s economy, and we’ve got to do everything we can to help local businesses thrive,” Schatz said. “When retail stores in our neighborhoods are doing well, communities and families in Hawai`i prosper. That is why I will do everything I can to encourage business owners to set up shop in our communities, creating jobs and contributing to Hawai`i’s status as the ultimate tourist destination.”
      NRF president and CEO Matthew Shay said, “Today we salute a dedicated group of public servants and advocates for their outstanding support of the retail industry. These ‘heroes’ have all demonstrated a unique understanding and commitment to policies that will ensure a growing and thriving Main Street. NRF is pleased to acknowledge these specific members of Congress for their unmatched leadership on the Marketplace Fairness Act.”
      The National Retail Federation is the world’s largest retail trade association. Retailers operate more than 3.6 million U.S. establishments that support one in four U.S. jobs – 42 million working Americans.

SEN. BRIAN SCHATZ HAS SENT A LETTER to Transportation Security Administration administrator John Pistole requesting that TSA expand the PreCheck program to include interisland flights in the state of Hawai`i.

      PreCheck enables low-risk passengers to move more quickly through checkpoint screening while allowing TSA to focus on passengers considered higher risk. Passengers participating in PreCheck lanes are not required to remove shoes and outerwear or laptops from bags. Expanding the PreCheck program would expedite security screening for Hawai`i’s residents, workers, and tourists traveling to and from the neighbor islands, promoting the state’s tourism industry and strengthening its local economy. Right now, TSA’s PreCheck program is only available at Honolulu Airport and 39 other major cities across the country.
      “Hawai`i has a unique need as an island state for efficient interisland travel, and flights are often necessary for residents to visit family, the doctor, and business associates,” Schatz said. “Between 16,000 and 18,000 passengers travel daily between the four major islands, closely linking air transportation to Hawai`i’s business development and the visitor industry. The easier we make it for people to fly, the more we will open the door to opportunities for economic growth.”
      “Our unique island setting requires many blue collar workers to regularly fly to their jobs on neighbor islands,” said Reggie Castanares, business manager for UA Local 675, Plumbers and Fitters of Hawai`i. “Establishing the PreCheck protocol for neighbor island travel would greatly enhance the daily work experience for the plumbers and fitters of UA Local 675 who begin their work day at an airport.”
      Mark Dunkerley, president and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines, said, “Pre-check lanes for interisland travel would greatly improve the ability of our kama`aina customers to move more quickly and efficiently between different cities in our state. It’s a very important issue for our guests, and we appreciate Sen. Schatz’s support for more pre-check lanes at all of the airports in Hawai`i.”

U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY HAWAIIAN VOLCANO OBSERVATORY has published its most current Geologic Map of the Island of Hawai`i. Visualizing the dynamic three-dimensional geologic history of the island on a two-dimensional sheet of paper is one of the fundamental responsibilities of HVO, and improving the geologic map of Hawai`i Island is an ongoing goal of the observatory. To date, 90 percent of Mauna’s 2,035-square-mile surface, covered by more than 500 individual flows, has been mapped. The ages for 35 percent of the mapped flows, the oldest of which is over 36,700 years old, have been constrained using radiocarbon dating. 

      Geologic maps depict the earth’s surface in terms of rock age, lithology (composition and texture) and structures (volcanic vents, fissures, faults, and cracks). HVO scientists use the maps to understand the events that have shaped the island and improve their ability to forecast hazards, such as lava flows, explosive eruptions and tsunami that will impact Hawai`i in the future.
      Nationally, geologic maps are the most requested scientific product produced by state and federal geological surveys. They help people understand the geologic history of an area, manage natural resources, assess hazards and provide information for informed land-use planning and decisions.
      Geologic Map of the Island of Hawai`i is available online at pubs.usgs.gov/ds/2005/144, the USGS Publications Warehouse pubs.er.usgs.gov and at island bookstores, including those in Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park.

Ka`u News Briefs June 23, 2013

THE ULUA CHALLENGE brought more credibility to the use of barbless hooks for fishing in the tenth annual tournament held in June. Dean Uyetake became the 2013 Ula Challenge winner with the 93.4-pound ulua (giant trevally), using a barbless hook. The Omilu (blue fin trevally) Division was won by Dane Ramey with a 22.8-pounder. 

      Ka`u fishermen were among those who entered the contest and camped at South Point and other shoreline areas for the tournament, sponsored by S. Tokunaga Store in Hilo.
      The anglers fished for three nights and three and a half days, with the weigh-in at Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium. Fishing was with rod and reel. Each fish was hooked, fought, and brought to gaff by a single person. Helpers could only shine lights to guide the angler when walking or pulling in a fish. The tournament prohibited using flotation devices like trash bags, plastic bottles, condoms, balloons and kites for hanging lines. Using boogie boards and surfboards was also banned. Fishermen were allowed to “hang bait,” only by using rods and reels. Each fisherman could set up as many as four rods and reels at the same time. Sharks, eels, turtles, rays and mammals did not qualify for the weigh in. Mutilated fish were also disqualified.
      Following Uyetake, second place went to Stephen Bondaug with an 88-pound ulua, third to Franklin Rivera with an 85.1-pounder, fourth to Richard Kaiawe with a 74.1-pounder, fifth to Bobby Akana with a 72.4-pound ulua, sixth to Todd Kaneshiro with a 69.8-pounder, seventh to Scott Yamamoto with a 68.5-pound ulua, eighth to Ka`eo Hunter with a 65.4-pounder, ninth to Jon Hara with a 64.5-pounder and tenth to Marcus Roberts with a 62.5-pound ulua.

      In the Omilu Division, Ramey was followed by Artis Higashi taking second with a 22.3-pounder. Keahi Akana took third with a 20.8-pound omilu. Justin Loa took fourth with a 19.9-pounder. Tommy Cabanting took fifth with a 17.9-pounder. Gerald Llanes took sixth with a 17.8-pounder. Keola Llanes took seventh with a 17-pounder. Rick Okubo took eighth with a 16.4-pounder, Kurt Nakamura took ninth with a 16.1-pounder and Jordan Ogawa took tenth, pulling in a 15.6-pound ulua.
      A special prize – a wrapped IRW Slider Rod for Barbless Hook – was given to the fisherman with the heaviest ulua caught using barbless hooks, which are being promoted to save fish when they are hooked but break away. The winner was Uyetake, who also won the grand prize for the heaviest fish caught in the Ulua Challenge.
      A statement from the organizers says, “If you are like most fishermen, and fishing is your passion, then the one thing you would want is to catch more fish. Have you ever broken a line on a big strike? Do you ever ask yourself if the fish survived after being hooked? If your answer is yes, what percentage of fish do you think survived? Many responsible fishermen in the islands are making changes to their fishing practices to ensure the fish population will be preserved for our future generations. One change fishermen are taking is the use of barbless hooks.

      “One advantage to using a barbless circle hook versus a barbed circle hook is that it can be less injurious to a fish or any other sea life that is hooked. If the fish breaks off with a barbless hook in its mouth, the hook will probably drop out a lot quicker than if it had a barbed hook in its mouth, causing less stress and less risk for mortality. This in turn will increase the chances that a missed fish would survive to not only reproduce, but to possibly be caught another day. Another advantage of using a barbless hook is that if a protected sea creature such as the monk seal or the green sea turtle is accidentally hooked, the chances of the hook falling out, increasing their survival, is much greater. A third advantage to using a barbless hook is that it makes releasing a fish much easier. There will be less struggle by the fisherman to remove the hook, creating less time for the fish to be out of the water and increasing its chance of survival.
      “And lastly, the use of the barbless hooks by fishermen sends a clear message that we are concerned and responsible stakeholders in fishery.
      “In the old days, circle hooks did not have barbs, yet they were very effective in catching fish, just ask your father or grandfather. The National Marine Fisheries Service has conducted side-by-side research that proved that a barbless circle hook is just as successful in hooking a fish as a barbed circle hook.” About half the fishermen in the Ulua Challenge used the barbless hook.
      A drawing at the weigh-in for the tournament netted a winner for a trip to Las Vegas, and proceeds from the event went to the Boys & Girls Club. Each fisherman paid a $50 entry fee.

“I HOLD ON VERY TIGHTLY TO MY SURFBOARD when I’m home and really hold onto the aloha spirit,” Ka`u’s U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard said on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulus today. Gabbard was featured in the show’s Sunday Spotlight subtitled From Battlefield to Halls of Congress. “I appreciate having the opportunity to not only be home, but to understand why I’m working in Washington.” 

      Gabbard said that when someone in Hawai`i asked her if she is “fitting in” in Congress, she responded that “not fitting in is actually a good thing.”
      Gabbard, a veteran of the war in Iraq, spoke about her support of plans to integrate women into combat units by 2016. “If you can pull your weight, and if you can do the job, you should be able to do it,” she said. “What we see in the policy change now, that we’re seeing starting to be executed, is just a reflection of what women have already been doing in the military.”
      “Some of the so-called uncivilized parts of what occurs when you are in combat, when you’re at war, that’s the reality that we train for,” Gabbard said. “This is not something new, and it’s not something that any woman who raises her hand to serve in uniform finds as a surprise. We know what we sign up for.”
      Gabbard also discussed military sexual assault. When in Iraq, “we got issued rape whistles so that, you know, as we walk out of our tent or walk out of our hooch, we’ve got our body armor, we’ve got our helmet, our weapon, and we’ve got our rape whistle,” Gabbard explained. “It was an eye-opening experience to have to consider that fact when we’re serving overseas…. We have to do something about this now.”

upcoming season. Photo from Ka`u High School

KA`U HIGH SCHOOL TROJANS football and basketball teams will play a different schedule in the 2013-2014 school year. Instead of playing only Division II teams, the Trojans will play each Big Island Interscholastic Federation team in a nine-game schedule followed by the divisional championships. 

      “Every game will count no matter who you play,” BIIF executive director Lyle Crozier told Hawai`i Tribune-Herald sports editor Bill O’Rear. “A lot of coaches wanted the change. They felt by playing everybody in the BIIF it gave them a tougher regular-season schedule and helped them get ready for the state tournament. Now, every game will count and can help you get a better seeding in the BIIF tournament.”
      The Trojans football schedule includes four home games and five away:

• Konawaena at Ka`u Friday, Aug. 30 
• Ka`u at Kamehameha Friday, Sept. 6 
• Ka`u at Kealakehe Saturday, Sept. 14 
• Hilo at Ka`u Friday, Sept. 20 
• Kea`au at Ka`u Friday, Sept. 27 
• Ka`u at Waiakea Friday, Oct. 4 
• Hawai`i Prep at Ka`u Friday, Oct. 11 
• Ka`u at Honoka`a Friday, Oct. 18 
• Ka`u at Kohala Saturday, Oct. 26

Ka`u News Briefs June 22, 2013

HOME OWNERSHIP WILL SOON BE MORE ACCESSIBLE to Ka`u and other Hawai`i households. Gov. Neil Abercrombie yesterday signed legislation that updates the Hula Mae Single Family Mortgage Loan Program and broadens eligibility.
      “This bill will make owning a home more than just a dream for many island families,” said Abercrombie, who also took the opportunity to proclaim June as Homeownership Month in Hawai`i. “Homeownership strengthens families and builds communities. It also fosters economic prosperity and generates economic growth, which benefits us all.”

      Part of the governor’s legislative package, SB1025, enacted as Act 135, updates the Hula Mae Single Family Mortgage Loan Program to allow broader program participation by potential single-family homeowners, especially for eligible borrowers’ principal residences. It also adds down payment, closing cost and other assistance as a program feature and makes various housekeeping and conforming amendments. The act is effective July 1.
      

In 1979, the state Legislature authorized the Hawai`i Housing Authority to fund the mortgage loan program to assist low- and moderate-income homebuyers. Since then, the Legislature has authorized the issuance of revenue bonds in an aggregate principal amount of $2.2 billion to fund this program. As of June 30, 2012, $1.8 billion in single-family mortgage purchase revenue bonds have been issued, providing eligible first-time homebuyers with mortgage loans at below-market interest rates. Also since then, Hula Mae has helped more than 10,000 families purchase first homes.

      The Hawai`i Housing Finance and Development Corporation now administers the program. Homebuyers apply directly with participating lending institutions, which review eligibility and qualifications for a Hula Mae loan. Loans currently made under the program are securitized by the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Government National Mortgage Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.
      Held in conjunction with National Homeownership Month, Homeownership Month in Hawai`i highlights the personal and societal benefits of owning a home, as well as recognizes public, private and nonprofit partners that contribute to providing homeownership opportunities and ensuring long-term viability of homeownership for island families. 


      These agencies and entities in Hawai`i include Hawai`i Housing Finance and Development Corporation; Department of Hawaiian Home Lands; U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; the Hawai`i Association of Realtors; Land Use Research Foundation, representing housing developers throughout the state; financial institutions; and nonprofits such as the Hawai`i Home Ownership Center, Hawaiian Community Assets, Legal Aid Society of Hawai`i, Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Hawai`i, Habitat for Humanity and Self-Help Housing Corporation of Hawai`i.

MILTON NAKATSU, OF HILO, HAS SENT TESTIMONY regarding the proposed `Aina Koa Pono project to the Public Utilities Commission and state senators.
      “A lot of residents believe that renewable energy is the way to go as well as I,” Nakatsu wrote, “but I will try to illustrate the cons (of AKP) with the following:
      “First, I have to apologize for sounding so negative, but I feel some of the ‘silent majority’ must have a voting voice on this crucial matter.
      “This combine (`Aina Koa Pono) reminds me of the days of the Kohala Task Force dumping millions into unproven businesses only to end up in bankruptcy except Kohala Nursery. Note: the execs of Biogenics were driving new Cadillacs every day from Kamuela to Kohala and back, wining and dining and to the bank only to deposit the hundreds of thousands milked from the company. The story is ‘good;’ they have an excellent Business Plan; set up; reap the rewards and are gone after five years or so.
      “It doesn’t make any sense to compel ratepayers to pay any additional fees for biodiesel, it should be an agreement with the electric companies. They (electric companies) currently negotiate with the oil companies for a fair price, so they should also negotiate for a fair price of biodiesel as an oil substitute.
      “Times are extremely difficult for fixed income residents. We have no means of generating income, and it’s causing our rates to go even higher for the benefit of `Aina Koa Pono? Where is the fairness, representation, protection and common sense on this?

      “Maybe I misunderstood, but wasn’t the charge per barrel of biodiesel lowered to the cost of crude (not sure)? After exhaustive questioning, didn’t they lower the figure to $200 a barrel, which is still too high? I’m wondering if they had an initial cost of like $400 a barrel.
      “If the cost of biodiesel is tied to crude, then it should be similar to annual percentage rate for interest rates where rates are fairly adjusted to moving market values of interest and not set in stone for 10 to 20 years which I believe is the case. Is this the ‘failsafe’ for them to make a ton upfront and can fail later after initially reaping the rewards?
      “If this company has the expertise/management skills and knowledge, then let them present a case to HELCO in negotiating like they do with the oil companies. Aren’t they competing for biodiesel in lieu of oil?
      “Would any bank lend them the money required under the present net increase in energy after plants are grown, harvested, microwaved then hauled as fuel 80 miles away to HELCO’s refinery?
      “As quoted by Will Rolston, energy coordinator for the county, ‘We’re sitting here, and we’re trying to figure out how it could work; the math doesn’t add up.’
      “If this company is PUC-regulated, are they tied to any ROE (return on equity)? If they are, what are the thresholds?
      “Are there any stipulations on salaries for CEO, president, manager on down, or could it be unlimited? What about golden parachutes?
      “If I had a proposal to install 100,000 to 1,000,000 photovoltaic panels or any other type of energy renewal program, would the ratepayer have to pay any costs, since theoretically oil usage would be less? If it is, then I’d like to drum up investors, since this is a no lose, win only investment.
      “Again, can anyone answer, if Hawai`i Island is 46.7 percent renewable today, and 100 percent renewable tomorrow, what would our electric rates be higher? Lower?
      “Last but not least, as repeatedly quoted by Mayor Billy Kenoi, he’s not in favor of any more alternative energy sources for the island ‘unless they result in a lowering of utility bills, not raising of them.’ That is a huge ‘ditto,’ Mr. Mayor.
      “Senators, I beg you, do not let this proposition be railroaded by a few minority with supreme authority without the sake of overall wellbeing of the ‘common silent majority.’”
      This and other testimony is available at puc.hawaii.gov. Docket number is 2012-0185.
