Reconnecting Kalapana to Ka`u via Chain of Craters Road could cost $12 to $15 million. Photo from National Park Service

HAWAI`I COUNTY TAXPAYERS ARE SPENDING about $14.5 million as a result of the June 27 lava flow that continues to be a concern to Puna communities. 

      West Hawai`i Today reports that most of the money is going to construction costs for emergency access roads. The county is hoping for reimbursement from the federal government.
      Rebuilding Chain of Craters Road where it was buried by past lava flows could cost $12 to $15.5 million. The project would connect communities in lower Puna to Ka`u and the rest of the island, if lava crosses other roads and emergency routes on its way to the ocean. According to the story, Chain of Craters Road is expected to be complete in early December.
      Another $3 million was spent to open Government Beach Road to connect Railroad Avenue between two subdivisions.
      Officials hope to reopen parts of Pahoa Village Road that had been closed because of threating lava in time for Thanksgiving. The flow front remains stalled about 480 feet above the road.

Island students. Image from tmt.org

THE THIRTY METER TELESCOPE HAS LAUNCHED The Hawai`i Island New Knowledge Fund to better prepare Hawai`i Island students to master Science, Technology, Engineering and Math and to become the workforce for higher paying science and technology jobs in Hawai`i’s 21st century economy. TMT’s founding gift of $1 million marks the beginning of construction on astronomy’s next-generation telescope on Mauna Kea. 

      TMT’s THINK Fund initiative benefits Hawai`i Island students pursuing STEM endeavors with an annual contribution of $1 million over its existing 19-year Mauna Kea sublease with the University of Hawai`i-Hilo. Two Hawai`i foundations were selected by TMT, Hawai`i Community Foundation and Pauahi Foundation, to administer THINK Fund distribution in scholarship and grant-making platforms. The two independent foundations are defining their award criteria and decision-making process.
      The Thirty Meter Telescope initiated dialogue on formation of THINK Fund in 2008 by asking a group of community volunteers to outline the mission, vision, purpose and implementation strategy of an education fund benefitting Hawai`i Island students. The organizing committee that developed TMT’s THINK Fund structure was comprised of Hawai`i Island residents.
      “After years of THINK Fund planning and reflection, the aspirations of dedicated community members are being realized with TMT’s first annual $1 million contribution, set in motion by the start of our construction phase,” said TMT Community Affairs Manager Sandra Dawson. “As a mother of two teachers, I am so pleased with THINK Fund’s potential to furnish Hawai`i Island students with an easier path to reach for the stars. TMT’s THINK Fund initiative will not only help Hawai`i Island students with the tools to excel in STEM areas and the channels to get into college, it can also provide students with the means to get through college.”
      The organizing committee determined that scholarships, grant making and establishment of an endowment would ensure sustainability of improving educational opportunities for Hawai`i Island students in STEM disciplines. It further recognized that an emphasis be given to improving opportunities for STEM education for Native Hawaiian students, not as an exclusive preference, but focusing on addressing needs of Hawai`i’s host culture.

NACF President/CEO T. Lulani Arquette

NATIVE HAWAIIAN ARTISTS ACTIVE in fields of dance, music, traditional and visual arts are invited to apply for a new fellowship from the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation. 

      “This opportunity will support the creation of new works by Native Hawaiian artists nationwide,” said NACF Program Officer Andre Bouchard. Panels will review online submissions this winter, and in spring 2015, we’ll announce the awardees.”
      Fellowship awards include support ranging up to $20,000 per artist, and artists who apply need to be able to supply documentation of Native Hawaiian ancestry.
      While the nonprofit Native arts foundation has offered national fellowships of this amount each year since 2011 to American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian artists and culture-makers, this is the first fellowship created exclusively to support Native Hawaiian artists. A partnership with the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and support from the Leonard and Rose Freeman Family Fund of the Hawai`i Community Foundation allowed the foundation to offer this new fellowship.
      “We extend gratitude to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and the Freeman family for helping us make this new fellowship a reality,” said NACF President and CEO T. Lulani Arquette.
      Interested persons must submit online applications by 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on Thursday, January 15, 2015, at your.culturegrants.org.

RICHARD HA, OWNER OF HAMAKUA SPRINGS Country Farms, has an entry on his blog at hahaha.hamakuasprings.com that has a holiday lesson.
      “Let me tell you something really interesting I learned from my Uncle Sonny Kamahele, who had twenty acres in Maku`u, in Puna on the Big Island,” Ha writes. “He had a rare kipuka there with soil that was ten feet deep, no rocks or anything. There was a spring in one corner of his property.
      “Just out of college with an accounting degree and lots of ideas about business, I looked at his land and wondered if he would lease me ten acres to grow bananas. I scratched my chin and thought about how I could grow 35,000 pounds per acre, maybe 300,000 pounds a year taking into account turn around space, on those ten acres.

Richard Ha

      “And yet on the other ten acres, Uncle Sonny was making his living with just ten or twenty hills of watermelons, with maybe four plants on each hill. People would come from miles around to buy his watermelons, and that provided him with enough income to support himself and to send money to his wife and son in the Philippines.
      “Here’s the lesson I learned from him: It’s not about how big your farm is. Your business is successful if it supports your situation. I learned a lot from Uncle Sonny, but I think that’s the most important thing I learned from him.
      “That’s what I always look at when I visit a farm. Not how big it is, or how much money it makes, but how it operates, and whether it solves the problem it is trying to solve.
      “Here’s why I’m telling you this right now. We have a real energy problem looming. I think the situation with oil is very serious, and there are definitely going to be winners and losers in the world. We need to position ourselves to be winners, and it’s going to take all of us, big and small.
      “How are we going to feed Hawai‘i?
      “Every one of us is going to play a role in it – from the largest farmers to the small folks growing food in their backyard. Do you remember in the plantation camps, especially the Filipino camps, how the yards were always planted with food? Beans, eggplants, the whole thing. I don’t see it so much anymore, but we can do it again.
      “We are lucky on the Big Island. We’re not crowded, and everybody has room to grow food. You know how you can tell we have plenty space? Everybody’s yard is too big to mow! We have the ability to do this.

        “It’s going to take all of us. It’s not just about any one of us, it’s about all of us, from the biggest to the smallest.
      “I’m lucky to have had Uncle Sonny to learn from when I was younger. I spent a lot of time with him, and I got a real feeling for how he made decisions, which was old style.

      “His lifestyle was a real connection to the past, too. His lawn and the whole area were always immaculate. The grass was always mowed; practically manicured. He lived pretty close to the old ways with a lot of remnants from the past. He had a red and green house that had stones from down the beach to put the pillars on, and lumber over the dirt floors. He built beds on those floors and then had five or six lauhala mats on the beds to sleep on, instead of mattresses; old style. There was a redwood water tank.
      “He listened to the county extension folks, and I learned from that, too – to pay attention to the people who know something.
      “But one of the most important things I learned was that your business, big or small, is a success if it supports your particular situation.”

ALLOWING MODULAR AND MOBILE HOMES could help with a predicted housing shortage should lava cut off roads into lower Puna, according to some real estate professionals. Currently, mobile homes are illegal. 

      One option, Day-Lum Properties’ Nancy Cabral told Tom Callis, of Hawai`i Tribune-Herald, is to change regulations that prevent use of modular homes, which could be set up quickly during an emergency. She said group of real estate professionals and housing advocates is trying to offer solutions to the county and state.
      “We’re just trying to get the ball rolling and start the thinking process,” she said. “If we start now, maybe we’ll have something in six months.”
      In Hilo, the rental market remains “very, very tight,” Cabral told Callis. Even in Pahoa, rentals continue to be occupied, though there is turnover, she said. She said people may not be able to find rentals in Hilo because they are limited, and some people are willing to stay in their Puna rentals and see what happens with the lava flow.
      “We didn’t expect that,” Cabral told Callis. “We were anticipating people moving out and having long-standing vacant units.
      “There’s not enough (housing) period,” Cabral said. “That’s just the fact; there’s not enough.”

With no lava flowing within a few miles of Pahoa Village Road, officials
plan to reopen it this week. Map from county Civil Defense

ALONG WITH THE LAVA FLOW FRONT that threatened their town remaining stalled, Pahoa residents may have something else to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Reopening of Pahoa Village Road will be initiated starting tomorrow and may take a few days to complete, reported county Civil Defense. Utility crews will begin removing protection placed around utility poles, and this work will require the road to remain closed while equipment is operating in the area. 

      The road was closed to non-residents between Apa`a Street and Post Office Road on Oct. 26 as the lava flow approached it but has remained stalled 480 feet from the road since Oct. 30. It could be closed again if flows return to Pahoa.
      Tom Callis, of Hawai`i Tribune-Herald, reported that while access to Apa`a Street, which lava crossed on its way toward Pahoa, will remain restricted, Civil Defense Chief Darryl Oliveira said the county is considering establishing a lava viewing area at Pahoa’s transfer station, where lava entered the property but then stalled.
      While the June 27 lava flow does not pose an immediate threat to Puna communities, it is still active 3.6 and further upslope of Apa`a Street.

HAWAI`I ISLAND POLICE ARE WARNING the public about IRS scams designed to obtain personal and financial information or to persuade the recipient to wire money to the impostors.

      A Kona man reported that he received a call on his cell phone from a man claiming to work for the Internal Revenue Service. The caller told the victim that he owed back taxes and instructed him to go to a specific drug store and purchase four Western Union vouchers for $500 each and then provide the caller with the voucher numbers. He told the victim to stay on the line with him until he bought the vouchers.
      When the victim became suspicious and said he was going to call the police, he was told he would be arrested if he hung up. The victim hung up anyway and immediately received another call. His caller ID showed the incoming phone number as 326-4646, which is the number of the Kona police station. When the victim answered his phone, the caller told him the police were on their way to arrest him.
      The victim drove to the Kona police station to determine if the call was legitimate and learned that it was a scam. Criminals can purchase an app for their cell phone that sends a false caller ID number.
      A second victim reported that he received a similar call from someone claiming to be from the IRS. The victim suspected the call was bogus and hung up the phone. The IRS imposter called back and told the victim that he didn’t appear to be taking the problem seriously, and that he needed to confirm that he was the right person. The caller then asked the victim for his name, date of birth, Social Security number and bank account number.
      Police urge the public not to comply with instructions or divulge any information if they receive a call from someone claiming to represent the IRS.

U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard

CONGRESSWOMAN TULSI GABBARD is sponsoring bipartisan legislation to give the President temporary authority to directly arm the Kurdish Peshmerga in the fight against ISIL and other Islamic extremists. Currently, U.S. military aid is being dispersed solely through the Iraqi central government, which so far has not supplied the Kurds with the equipment they need.
 
“The Kurdish Peshmerga are courageously fighting to destroy ISIL. They are the primary offensive force fighting against ISIL on the ground and are doing so with inadequate weapons and resources. We should be doing everything we can to get them the heavy weapons and equipment they need to support their fight to eliminate our common enemy,” Gabbard said. “This bipartisan legislation will help level the playing field for this fighting force, which is vastly outgunned and mostly using outdated light weapons. Systemic changes need to occur within the structure of the Iraqi government, but we cannot wait; we must stop routing these weapons through a still dysfunctional Shiite-led central Iraqi government, which has thus far withheld necessary support to the Peshmerga, and provide equipment and heavy weapons directly to the Kurds. Their needs are urgent. We cannot waste any more time, as ISIL continues to grow, increasing the threat to the United States and our partners.”
 

      Gabbard has consistently and strongly supported arming the Kurdish Peshmerga with heavy weapons and armored vehicles, and met yesterday with the Kurdish Regional Government Foreign Minister Falah Mustafa and Dr. Fuad Hussein, President Barzani’s Chief of Staff, expressing her full support and commitment to increasing direct U.S. military aid to the KRG.

      The legislation establishes as the policy of the United States to provide direct assistance to the Kurdistan Regional Government to combat ISIL, identifies Iraqi Kurds as a reliable and stable partner of the United States, recognizes that the Peshmerga are the official security force of the Kurdistan Regional Government, organized in accordance with the Iraqi Constitution, emphasizes that ISIL is a significant terrorist threat which may employ more than 4,000 captured heavy weapons, 1,500 armored vehicles, and 50 long-range artillery pieces and aintains existing Congressional oversight of significant arms transfers.
      The legislation sunsets after three years, in recognition of the emergency nature of this authority.

THE HOLIDAY SEASON MARKS THE BEGINNING of the annual Hawai`i Big Tree Competition. Sponsored by the Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Forestry and Wildlife and American Forests, the program focuses attention on the largest trees in each species as a way to raise awareness about the importance of healthy trees and forests. In 2014 Coco, a coconut palm in Hawai`i Kai, was crowned national Big Tree winner and National Ultimate Big Tree after several weeks of online voting.

This mamane in Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park
is on the National Registry of Big Trees.

      One of Hawai`i’s biggest trees is the national champion koa, located in south Kona at the 8,089-acre Kona Hema Preserve managed by The Nature Conservancy in Na`alehu. The koa is 115 feet tall with a circumference of 343.3 inches and a crown spread of 93.3 feet. The koa was nominated in 2012.
      Species eligible for nomination are Koa, Lama, Wiliwili, `Ohi`a ha, `Ohi`a ai, Koki`o ke`oke`o, Ma`o hau hele, Aloalo, Kawa`u, Kolea lau nui, Olopua, Papalakepau, Nenelau, Lonomea, Mamane, A`e, Wauke, Niu, Hau, Manele and `A`ali`i.       To replace a current champion, the challenging tree must have more total points. Total points equals trunk circumference in inches plus height in feet plus one-quarter average crown spread in feet.
      To nominate a tree, contact Hawai`i Big Tree coordinator Kylee Ah Choy at 808-587-0164 and provide the tree height, trunk circumference and average crown spread. Also, provide the tree’s specific location (GPS coordinates are helpful).

U.S. CONGRESSWOMAN TULSI GABBARD and a colleague have introduced legislation to recognize #GivingTuesday. #GivingTuesday, the first Tuesday following Thanksgiving, kicks off the holiday giving season with a global day dedicated to charitable giving and volunteerism to follow the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
      The #GivingTuesday resolution recognizes that philanthropy and charitable giving knows no party divide, as giving has the ability to transcend any differences of political ideologies and has the power to unite people across boundaries.
       “There are too many things that cause divisions within our communities, but one thing that can bring us together toward a common goal is that of giving to others and making a positive impact on their lives,” Gabbard said. “We should always be looking for opportunities to serve others and give generously of our time and resources to worthy causes. Giving Tuesday is a great way to raise awareness of our responsibility to serve others before ourselves and give back to our communities. I encourage everyone to embrace these values and the spirit of Giving Tuesday.”

      Now in its third year, #GivingTuesday is a worldwide movement with over 16,000 U.S.-based partners that celebrates the power of giving in all its forms. Launched by the 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation in 2012, this worldwide movement harnesses the power of social media and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their communities and celebrates the power of giving in all its forms.

THE KOHALA CENTER, WHICH IS DEVELOPING recommendations and solutions to overcome barriers faced by Hawai`i’s value-added food producers, invites the public to provide feedback about recommendations on homemade food operations in Hawai`i that were developed by several members of the Hawai`i cottage food industry group in response to a legislative mandate. These recommendations propose a new regulatory framework for homemade food operations.

      In developing the recommendations, the industry group was guided by the following principles: food safety is essential; education and training are important means of achieving food safety; proper product labeling is necessary; permits can help promote regulatory compliance; local food production is integral to Hawai`i’s economic development and food security; and Hawai`i Department of Health requires sufficient resources to implement laws and regulations.
      The industry group also acknowledged state and federal mandates to increase local food production, including:

• Hawai`i’s Increased Food Security and Food Self-Sufficiency Strategy, which notes that replacing just 10 precent of the food Hawai`i currently imports would amount to approximately $313 million dollars remaining in the state’s economy (Office of Planning, Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism); and 
• The United States Department of Agriculture’s allocation of $27 million in competitive grants to support local food efforts such as food hubs and local processors. 

      The industry group designed the recommendations to minimize risk of foodborne illness through training, sanitary guidelines, proper product labeling and permits.

      In order to mitigate the challenges facing value-added food producers in Hawai`i, the group proposes recommendations for a new regulatory framework for homemade food operations in Hawai`i, defined as an enterprise that produces – in a home or farm kitchen that conforms to the building code of the county in which the kitchen is located – allowable foods for sale to the public. Regulations applicable to homemade food operations would not apply to temporary food establishments.
