MOVING UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI`I’S COLLEGE of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources from Manoa to Hilo is the subject of a resolution introduced at the state Legislature by Ka`u’s Rep. Richard Creagan, a physician.

      Creagan’s idea is to move the Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy from Hilo to Kakaako to integrate with the John A. Burns School of Medicine and the university’s struggling Cancer Center. UH-CTAHR would take over the building that currently houses the pharmacy program.

Ka`u state Rep. Richard Creagan

      “It makes total sense,” Creagan said at Saturday’s meeting of Hawai`i Farmers Union United. “We have the land and small farmers.” He said he has talked to several other legislators about the idea but has yet to discuss it with UH officials. HFUU members at the meeting expressed interest in the suggestion.
      HR 100 lists several reasons for moving CTAHR to the Big Island:

• It would enhance the ability of the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resource Management at the Hilo campus to better fulfill its goal of supporting agriculture on the Big Island and improving food security. 
• This transition could support and enhance undergraduate agricultural education and facilitate the development of graduate degree programs in various aspects of agriculture at the Hilo campus. 
• Graduates of the enhanced Hilo campus could help make the Big Island a better source of agricultural productivity and food security. 
• The Big Island has a long tradition of agriculture and a larger land mass than all of the other Hawaiian Islands combined, and would better support and improve agricultural research. 

      Regarding moving the College of Pharmacy from Hilo to O`ahu, the resolution says the college would be best located adjacent to the John A. Burns School of Medicine in Kaka`ako, which would enhance the function of both institutions and result in better student training and in better patient care.

      The university’s Cancer Center and some of its facilities could be repurposed and reinvigorated by aligning them with the College of Pharmacy, thereby providing enhanced cancer treatment options to the people of the state.
      It also states that having the pharmacy school aligned with the medical school would enhance research and sharing of clinical skills and team-based practice activities.

      “Strengthening of the Kaka`ako campus would be a game-changer in Hawai`i and pay many dividends by advancing the study of health sciences and strengthening the economic base of the Kaka`ako campus,” according to the resolution.

THE LAVA FLOW FIELD NEAR PAHOA remains inactive, according to reports from Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Breakouts continue in at least three areas northeast of Pu`u `O`o. The breakout that started on the northern flank of Pu`u `O`o is spreading out at the northeastern base of the cone, and the one near Kahauale`a has reached the forest at the edge of the flow field northeast of Pu`u `O`o. A third breakout, active about three to four miles northeast of Pu`u `O`o, appears to be comparatively small.

CONGRESSWOMAN TULSI GABBARD JOINED a bipartisan panel called Millennials: The Unstoppable Force at the 2015 South by Southwest Interactive Festival to discuss the unique challenges and opportunities that face the Millennial generation in America.
       The panel focused the conversation on pressing issues facing young Americans, including Internet freedom, jobs, debt, healthcare and criminal justice reform. The event takes place in Austin, Texas.

the Millenial generation. Photo from Office of Rep. Gabbard

      “Too often, political bickering in Washington overshadows the issues that this generation of Americans are concerned about,” Gabbard said. “Millennials care less about party labels and blind partisanship, and care more about getting things done. Like so many people, of all generations, I’m working toward finding creative solutions to the challenges that face our country and finding strong partners to work with to get the job done. That must include more open dialogue and bipartisan collaboration in Congress that prioritizes results over rhetoric, and engaging with leaders and innovators who are finding solutions every day in our communities and in the private sector.”
      There are 90 million Americans who make up the Millennial generation, and they face a set of challenges related to student debt, health care and employment that are unique to their generation. Generally considered a tech-savvy, highly educated and engaged group, there are opportunities for Millennials to be game-changers in the realm of business, politics and public service, Gabbard said.
       Before attending the SXSW panel, Gabbard met with members of The Bunker, a program built by veteran entrepreneurs for veteran entrepreneurs. The Bunker targets existing veteran-owned tech startups and aspiring entrepreneurs to come, create and conquer the business world through their ideas, hard work and strategy. They invite early-stage companies to apply to join The Bunker and provide space for six months, access to great talent, an exclusive network of fellow entrepreneurs, mentorship and professional development and access to capital. The Bunker also invites aspiring entrepreneurs to apply to become Entrepreneurs in Residence at The Bunker, and intern at one of our portfolio companies.

Snow continues to blanket the summits of Mauna Loa, in the foreground, and Mauna Kea following last week's winter storms.

MARCO MANGELSDORF, SPOKESMAN for Hawai`i Island Energy Cooperative and president of ProVision Solar, Inc., answers frequently asked questions about the organization at hahahahamakuasprings.com, the website of Richard Ha, co-op member and owner of Hamakua Springs Country Farms. HIEC is a group of business and community leaders researching public ownership of the island’s electric utility. 

      The hui is exploring the possibility of emulating the Kaua`i Island Utility Cooperative model and is participating in the Hawaiian Electric Industries-NextEra Energy merger docket by proposing an option that offers the possibility of democratic ownership and control of the island’s energy infrastructure.

Marco Mangelsdorf

      Is HIEC against the proposed merger? HIEC takes no position either for or against the proposed merger. HIEC desires to explore through the proceedings the unique perspective, goals and objectives of the residents and communities of Hawai`i Island, and depending on the outcome of the proceedings, consider whether a different ownership model for energy services on Hawai`i Island may provide a positive alternative. A sound discussion should include evaluation of the pending transaction in relation to potential future options that may be in the public interest for the unique interest of the island of Hawai`i. HIEC’s participation can assist the development of a sound record by providing a Hawai`i Island focused perspective.
      Is HIEC making an attempt to buy Hawaiian Electric Light Company? It’s important to note that HELCO is not for sale at this time. So no, HIEC is not submitting an offer to purchase HELCO. HIEC is positioning itself as a possible option worthy of consideration to take Hawai`i Island in a different energy direction, depending on the course of the proceedings.
      Would a co-op lead to lower energy bills on the Big Island? HIEC believes that a case can be made that there would be lower energy costs to the consumer over time through tax exempt status, lower cost of capital and no shareholder profits, greater efforts to develop less expensive island-based power sources, promotion of education, markedly improved energy efficiency and the accelerated adoption of appropriate advanced technologies.
      What’s the position of HIEC regarding geothermal energy, an interisland power cable from the Big Island to the other islands, and this or that particular or specific issue on the Big Island? The residents and communities of the Big Island, through an elected board of directors, would decide what choices and directions to take as far as energy sources and policies under the co-op.
      What would make HIEC different from a standard electric utility co-op? The cooperative would have a more diversified focus compared to a standard electric utility by focusing on greater overall energy independence, higher renewable energy generation and enhanced sustainability through a comprehensive and integrated approach to all energy-consuming sectors on the island.

      Has HIEC been working with Kaua`i Island Utility Cooperative? HIEC has been in contact with KIUC and they have been supportive. In the event that HIEC is successful in establishing an energy co-op, it is likely that synergies would exist between the two islands that would enable both to benefit by working together in certain areas.

GIVING FEDERAL AGENCIES GREATER ability to reduce energy use and save taxpayer dollars is the subject of bipartisan legislation that Sen. Brian Schatz and three others, one Democrat and two Republicans, have introduced. The Utility Energy Service Contracts Improvement Act of 2015 would allow federal agencies to enter into long-term contracts with utilities for energy-saving services, giving agencies more options to conserve energy and reduce costs.
      The act clarifies an existing law that allows federal agencies to enter into utility energy service contracts of up to 25 years, provided certain conditions are met.
      “Renewable energy projects, long-term energy security projects and large-scale energy conservation measures often are simply not cost-effective with a 10-year contract period,” Schatz said. “To date, federal agencies have used UESCs to invest approximately $2.7 billion in their facilities, however a much greater potential exists.
      “As the largest consumer of energy in the country, the federal government needs to do everything it can to save energy and taxpayer dollars. Our bipartisan legislation would expand opportunities to invest in energy efficiency and clean energy projects while saving money. I look forward to working with Sens. Lamar Alexander, Dan Coats, and Chris Coons to make this practical solution law.”

KA`U HAS BEEN CLEAR AND COLD the past few days, but not nearly as cold as summits of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, where snow continues to blanket the ground. 

      Last week, the National Weather Service placed both mountains under a blizzard warning. Meteorologists said as much as eight inches of snow could fall at 11,000 feet elevation. Strong winds with gusts of 85 miles per hour were also possible, according to weather.com meteorologists.
      The weather delayed construction preparations for the high-powered, deep space Thirty Meter Telescope near the summit of Mauna Kea because conditions shut down the access road.
      The road is still closed to public due to heavy accumulations of snow and ice in spots. The road crew is working for the seventh day in a row, and it is unlikely that the road will open today, according to the Mauna Kea Weather Center website, mkwc.ifa.hawaii.edu.
      Images of the summits, including current photos and daily animation, are available at irtfweb.ifa.hawaii.edu and esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/obop/mlo.

PRESERVATION OF A 1,000-ACRE PARCEL of land in South Kona completes a vast area of uninterrupted charitable trust lands along with protected private 
and public lands extending more than 50 miles to the Kahuku Unit of Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park. Owners agreed to a $3.2 million conservation easement with the state Department of Land & Natural Resources using federal Forest Legacy Program funds.

Regional Forester Randy Moore

      With the acquisition of the property, another 10,000 acres total of native Hawaiian forest are now protected from development by the state Department of Land and Natural Resources, U.S. Forest Service and Hokukano Ranch. The area, known as Ka`awaloa Forest, together with the adjacent Kealakekua Heritage Ranch (9,000 acres), represent the first two conservation easements held by DLNR under the Forest Service’s Forest Legacy Program. These conservation easements will permanently restrict development and maintain sustainable harvest levels.
      “The partnership we have with DLNR is invaluable as we look to restore and protect these crucial resources,” said U.S. Forest Service Pacific Southwest Regional Forester Randy Moore. “We are excited for DLNR to pick up this conservation easement and add to our total of 47,055 protected acres on the Big Island.”
      Hawai`i County had previously approved a development plan for the construction of 500 residential lots and a golf course.With the region’s history of nearly 200 years of timber extraction, many of the large trees – specifically koa and sandalwood – were harvested. Coupled with pressures from grazing animals, many of these forests have not fully recovered and have ultimately suffered a significant loss of forest cover. With a goal of sustainable management, the current owners are re-investing in the forest and encouraging regeneration of Hawai`i’s native trees.
      The property also provides a variety of non-timber economic activities, including plant collection, tourism and hunting. The Ka`awaloa conservation easement will protect ecosystems that support several endemic Hawaiian birds. Preserving the Ka`awaloa Forest, part of the fog-shrouded South Kona cloud forests, will also directly contribute to safeguarding the water supply and water quality in a region subject to severe drought.

SEN. MAZIE HIRONO INTRODUCED the Filipino Veterans Family Reunification Act Thursday, a bill that would expedite the visa process for children of Filipino World War II veterans. These veterans were offered U.S. citizenship in recognition of their service, but this hard-earned benefit did not extend to their children. Thousands of families have been separated for decades because of this oversight. 

      “Time is running out for the diminishing number of Filipino World War II veterans who fought and sacrificed alongside American servicemen. We as a nation made a promise to these veterans that must be kept,” Hirono said. “These brave soldiers didn’t flinch when the United States called them to battle in the Pacific Theater. The few surviving veterans are in their 80s and 90s and have been waiting for more than a half century to be reunited with loved ones, and we owe this benefit to them.

      While this bill helps thousands of World War II veterans and their families, we still must come together and pass permanent comprehensive immigration reform. As an immigrant who came to the United States with my mother at a young age, I remain committed to the fact that any effort to reform our immigration system should also address the challenges families face.”
      Filipino veterans were granted citizenship in recognition of their service to the United States in World War II. Their children, however, were not granted citizenship. Currently, veterans must file for a family visa to be reunited with their children in the United States. Because of an antiquated immigration system, it can take more than 20 years for these applications to be reviewed. The Filipino Veterans Family Reunification Act exempts the veterans’ children, about 20,000 individuals in all, from the numerical limitation on immigrant visas.
      Hirono and the co-introducer Sen. Harry Reid made fighting for Filipino veterans to receive this benefit a top priority during their time in Congress, but it grows more urgent every year. Of the surviving Filipino World War II veterans, it is estimated that less than 6,000 are U.S. citizens and reside in this country and will thus be able to take advantage of this bill. The Filipino Veterans Family Reunification Act was included in the bipartisan comprehensive immigration bill that passed the Senate in 2013.
      “We urge Republicans to take up this bill that helps Filipino veteran families and fixes our entire broken immigration system once and for all,” Hirono said.
