HUMPBACK WHALES ARE LATE this season, Bret Yager reported in West Hawai`i Today. Ed Lyman, of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whales National Marine Sanctuary, told Yager, “Even though there are no formal surveys in December, the numbers clearly are down. What I’m seeing out there right now I would have expected a month ago. We’ve just seen a handful of whales.” 

      One theory about the late arrivals to the mammals’ mating and breeding ground is that El Nino may caused the whales to stay in their northern feeding grounds longer than usual. The whales need to build up enough energy reserves before migrating to Hawai`i.
      Ocean Sanctuary Counts of humpback whales are scheduled for that last Saturdays of the first three months of 2016. Register at hawaiihumpbackwhale.noaa.gov.

Bubbles showing areas of dengue fever risk on Hawai`i Island are smaller
on DOH's latest map, although eight more cases have been reported.

EIGHT NEW CASES OF DENGUE FEVER have been identified by Hawai`i Department of Health as of yesterday. Currently, as many as four of the 190 confirmed cases, having had onset of illness as late as Dec. 26, are potentially infectious to mosquitoes. All others are no longer infectious. 

      A new map shows risk areas shrinking, with high-risk areas only in South Kona, including Miloli`i, Ho`okena and Captain Cook. Some areas of Ka`u, once referred to as “high risk,” are now “some risk.”

ON ITS WEEKLY MAUNA LOA Volcano update, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory today reported that seismicity remains elevated above long-term background levels. In the last week, earthquakes at Mauna Loa occurred mostly beneath the volcano’s upper Southwest Rift Zone at depths less than three miles. Global Positioning System measurements continue to show deformation related to inflation of a magma reservoir complex beneath the summit and upper Southwest Rift Zone. Mauna Loa's alert level remains at advisory, having been raised from normal on Sept. 17.

A BILL SIGNED INTO LAW by Gov. David Ige will make Hawai`i the first state in the nation to accommodate for the hearing and visually impaired at movie theatres statewide.
      HB1272 requires anyone that operates a motion picture theater in more than two locations in the state to provide open captioning during at least two showings per week of each motion picture that is produced with open movie captioning. It also requires them to provide an audio description of any motion picture that is produced and offered with audio description. The measure takes effect Jan. 1, 2016 and sunsets Jan. 1, 2018.
      The law allows equal access to movie theaters for the deaf, blind, deaf/blind and hard-of-hearing communities. It also brings Hawai`i closer to achieving full inclusion for our deaf and blind communities that was first initiated with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
      The law removes communication barriers and provides equal access to persons who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind or have poor vision through reasonable accommodations at movie theaters. It will also help seniors who have trouble hearing, as well as individuals who are learning English as a second language by providing written dialogue on-screen.

JAYSEN MORIKAMI IS HAWAI`I’S new Taxpayer Advocate. Morikami has worked to resolve both taxpayers and tax practitioners’ problems the past eleven years in the Department’s Taxpayer Services Section. 

      The Taxpayer Advocate helps taxpayers who have unresolved state tax problems after exhausting all appropriate avenues of resolution, who believe their rights have been abridged, who are not looking for an alternative to the formal appeals process or established departmental procedures, and who are not seeking legal or technical tax advice or determinations.
      “We’re excited to have Mr. Morikami take on the Taxpayer Advocate role in the State Tax Department,” Tax Director Maria Zielinski said. “Because the Advocate helps to ensure that all taxpayers rights are protected, finding and hiring a highly qualified person to handle these responsibilities is important. We have confidence that Mr. Morikami will serve the state’s taxpayers well.”
      For more information about the Taxpayer Advocate program, see http://tax.hawaii.gov/assistance/advocate/.

Dr. Cliff Kopp descended from Volcano to Na`alehu this morning on his walk around the island to raise awareness of homelessness and hunger. See more below. Photo from Kopp's Facebook page

HAWAIIAN RANCHOS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION in Ocean View has approved CC&Rs designed to stop solar farms from being built in the subdivision. The votes were counted at a special meeting on yesterday. One hundred eighty-three voting members approved the CC&Rs, while 16 voted against them. The CC&Rs limit the amount of solar energy that can be produced on any lot to 25 kilowatts. This is the first time that the community has adopted laws to restrict what is built in the development. The adoption of CC&Rs is permitted in the Association’s Charter of Incorporation and its bylaws.

CC&Rs to prevent large solar installations in their rural neighborhood.

      In 2011, Chinese Company SPI Solar, through a subsidiary, obtained permits to construct 17 solar farms and chose to locate them among homes in the Ranchos subdivision. Residents have consistently opposed this industrialization of their neighborhood, citing deep concerns over loss of property value, danger of fire and unsightliness and inappropriateness of industrial installations among homes. While not against solar power, Ranchos resident Ann Bosted said many feel the project should be located on real agricultural land, as is done on the mainland and at Miloli`i, not land that has been zoned agricultural but is generally used for homes.
      Bosted reported that Sen. Josh Green and Rep. Richard Creagan have drafted an amendment to state law that will also limit the amount of power that can be produced on a lot, thus prohibiting construction of solar farms in neighborhoods. If it passes, it will add another layer of protection to Ranchos residents, she said.
      Bosted also said the project has been criticized by energy professionals. “In his article entitled A Crummy Deal for Ratepayers? Bret Yager (of West Hawai`i Today) quoted former Chair of the PUC, Mina Morita saying, ‘The purpose of FIT was to encourage smaller projects, not as a loophole for larger projects, which would have been negotiated under different terms.’ Marco Mangelsdorf said the FIT program, under which the solar permits were issued, ‘turned into something of a fiasco.’ Stephen Holmes, a retired former energy and sustainability coordinator in Honolulu, called it a ‘crummy deal.’ He said, ‘They (SPI Solar) are breaking a large, megawatt-scale project into smaller Feed-In Tariff projects, so ratepayers are not able to benefit from better pricing.’”
      Bosted also said, “From an engineering and technical viewpoint, the project is a problem, as it involves connecting solar farms with equipment not designed for use in a neighborhood. The project is also far from the load, so Hawai`i Electric Light Co., and consequently its customers, must pay for electricity that is lost while traveling from the distant location to where it is needed.”

DENGUE PREVENTION SUPPLIES were handed out door to door this week in Miloli`i. David Corrigan, of Big Island Video News, covered the effort led by Pa`a Pono Miloli`i. 

      After reaching its initial goal of raising $3,000 to purchase mosquito nets, repellent and coils, the community organization continues its fundraising at gofundme.com/ztg9544s. So far, $5,025 has been provided that will go toward purchasing more supplies to the community that Hawai`i Department of Health has identified as a hotspot for dengue fever. Last week, the state closed Miloli`i Beach Park and areas around Honomalino Bay due to the outbreak.
      Kai Kahele, of Pa`a Pono Miloli`i, told Corrigan that members of the community “fully appreciate the tremendous support that came out. …”
      “I don’t think this is something that’s going to fix itself overnight. We’re in it for the long haul, and we hope the generosity of people is in it for the long haul with us.”
      Yesterday, DOH reported one more case of dengue on Hawai`i Island, bringing to total so far to 182. Of those, two are considered infectious to mosquitoes that could pass the disease to other individuals.

HIGHLIGHTING HOMELESSNESS and hunger on Hawai`i Island is Dr. Cliff Kopp’s mission during his holiday walk around the island. Kopp began his walk in Kona on Christmas Eve, and this morning, he began walking from Volcano at 7:30 p.m., arriving in Na`alehu about three hours later. 

      “We’ve been paying lip service to this issue, but nothing is getting done,” the local prosthodontist said. His trek is about reminding people that individuals have the power to take action. “Fifteen years to solve a problem is not going to cut it,” Kopp said, noting that out of a population of 190,000 on Hawai`i Island, there are 1,300 street homeless individuals, or 0.6 percent of the population.
      Hawai`i Island only has shelter space of 220 beds, he said.
      Kopp is walking to build awareness and raise funds to help with the Kukuiola Homeless Shelter – a structure that would provide shelter to the island’s homeless community. To support his efforts, call 933-6030, or email at info@hawaiifoodbasket.org.

Barbless hooks cause less harm to unsuspecting marine
mammals. Photo from notonlybowls.com

A BARBED HOOK LEAD TO THE DEATH of a young monk seal Monday. Ola Loa died after surgery to remove the hook from the back of her throat. “That barb causes so much trouble. … It just anchors in and tears,” Charles Littnan, lead scientist for the Hawaiian Monk Seal Program, told Gary T. Kubota, of Honolulu Star-Advertiser. 

      Kubota said federal officials encourage using barbless circle hooks and J hooks instead of barbed hooks. Littnan told Kubota that many fishers are able to catch fish, including ulua, with barbless hooks.
      He also suggested crimping or flattening barbs with pliers to make them easier to remove from animals that ingest them unintentionally.

AS THE NEW YEAR APPROACHES, Hawaiian Electric Companies remind everyone to celebrate safely.
      If planning to use fireworks, take a moment to find the safest possible location. Keep away from flammable items, including shrubbery. Make sure to stay well clear of overhead power lines. Don’t hang fireworks or anything else on utility poles. Keep yourself, your ladder, pole and tie lines at least 10 feet from power lines and poles.
      If an object should become entangled in an overhead power line, don’t try to free it. To have the object removed safely, call Hawaiian Electric’s 24-hour trouble line at 1-855-304-1212. In an emergency situation, call 911. To reach Hawai`i Electric Light Co., call 969-6666.

      Other factors this holiday season can impact your safety and the reliability of your electric service. Some causes are beyond control, and HELCO will respond as quickly and safely as possible. High winds and falling trees and branches, motor vehicle accidents and metallic balloons, in addition to fireworks, all can cause outages. In case of a power outage, or if lights are flickering due to problems like high winds and tree branches affecting power delivery, it is always a good idea to unplug unneeded electric equipment, even if it is plugged into a surge suppressor.
      This year brings a new concern. Flying drones have become popular gifts, but flying them near power lines and substations could lead to power outages and a short life for that new drone as well.
      “If everyone takes extra care and precautions, our customers and community – and our hard working crews – can have a safe, happy and healthy start to 2016,” HECO said.

Hawai`i Island Fire Department asks residents to help keep New Year's Eve celebration safe. Photo by Kris Bakken

 U.S. REP. TULSI GABBARD discussed federal actions regarding dengue fever during an interview on KHON news.

Image from KHON

      “There’s a lot of action frankly that needs to be taken, and I think should have been taken earlier on to prevent us from getting to this point, really, where we’re seeing more and more cases of dengue that are worse that we’ve ever seen in Hawai`i in the past,” Gabbard said. “That’s where you really have to focus – on prevention – and recognize that if this is allowed to continue to get worse, what a devastating impact it will have on Hawai`i Island’s economy. Not to speak of the fact that if it starts to spread to other islands, we’re going to deal with a far more devastating issue for us as a state.”  

      Gabbard said Congress passed a bill last week that included more funding for the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, which is working with the state Department of Health on the dengue outbreak. Funding is also going to ag research agencies “that are looking to see how can we actually prevent these kinds of pests that are causing so much problem, whether it’s to our ag industry or to people from becoming a problem in the first place,” Gabbard said.
      “Those are two things that I think will help in the long run, but in the meantime, we’ve got to focus on this immediate action and taking this problem with the seriousness that it deserves.”

Using mosquito repellent is part of DOH's
Fight the Bite campaign.

USING MOSQUITO REPELLENTS SAFELY is the topic of a guide provided at Hawai`i Department of Health’s website to help Hawai`i Island residents Fight the Bite during the current dengue fever outbreak. 

      According to DOH, insect repellents can help reduce exposure to mosquito bites that may carry viruses that can cause serious illness and even death. Using insect repellent allows you to continue to play and work outdoors with a reduced risk of mosquito bites.
      DOH recommends applying repellent when you are going to be outdoors. Even if you don’t notice mosquitoes, there is a good chance that they are around.
      Re-apply repellent if you are being bitten by mosquitoes. Always follow directions on the product. Sweating, swimming or otherwise getting wet may mean that you need to re-apply repellent more frequently. Repellents containing a higher concentration (higher percentage) of active ingredient typically provide longer-lasting protection.
      Centers for Disease Control & Prevention recommend using products that have been shown to work in scientific trials and that contain active ingredients registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use as insect repellents on skin or clothing.
      Of the active ingredients registered with the EPA, CDC believes that two have demonstrated a higher degree of efficacy in the peer-reviewed, scientific literature. Products containing DEET or Picaridin typically provide longer-lasting protection.
      Oil of lemon eucalyptus, a plant-based repellent, is also registered with EPA. In two recent scientific publications, when oil of lemon eucalyptus was tested against mosquitoes found in the U.S., it provided protection similar to repellents with low concentrations of DEET.

TOTAL VISITOR ARRIVALS TO HAWAI`I in November 2015 set a new record for the month with 661,352 visitors, a 3.7 percent growth year-over-year compared to November 2014, according to preliminary statistics released today by Hawai`i Tourism Authority. November marked the ninth straight month that total visitor arrivals have surpassed the previous monthly records. 

      Hawai`i Island’s visitor arrivals increased 0.5 percent compared with November 2014. Also, 4.7 percent more visitors stayed exclusively on Hawai`i Island. Visitors also spent 2.6 percent more money than they did during the previous November.
      Year-to-date through November, Hawai`i Island had 3.9 percent more visitors than the same period last year.
      “November was the latest record setting month for visitor arrivals in a string of nine consecutive record setting months,” HTA President and CEO George Szigeti said. “What an amazing achievement for our visitor industry, especially for a mature travel destination like Hawai`i coming off three consecutive record setting years.
      “This consistency of success signifies how compelling Hawai`i’s brand is to global travelers. Hawai`i’s marketing message is being well received in key markets, and our industry partners deserve credit for how they have evolved their product offerings to match the diversified interests of today’s travelers.”

Because of fire hazards, sky lanterns
are illegal in Hawai`i. Photo
from Wikipedia

WITH NEW YEAR’S EVE TWO DAYS AWAY, Hawai`i County Fire Department reminds the public of legal uses and safety precautions regarding fireworks. 

      It is illegal for anyone to remove the powder or pyrotechnic contents from any firework; throw fireworks from, at or into any vehicle; set off any fireworks at any time not within the specified time periods, within 1,000 feet of any hospital, convalescent home, care home for the elderly, zoo, animal hospital or shelter, or church when services are held; on any school property without authorization from the said school official; or on any Public way such as a highway, alley, street, sidewalk or park.
      It is also illegal to offer for sale, sell or give any fireworks to minors; or for any minor to possess, purchase, sell or set off, ignite or otherwise cause to explode any fireworks, except under the immediate supervision of an adult; set off any aerial luminary devices, commonly called Sky Lanterns or Hawai`i Lanterns, or any other aerial devices, such as bottle rockets, sky rockets, roman candles, cakes, mortars or shells.
     The public can help by using extreme care when setting off fireworks. Children playing with fireworks should be under an adult’s close supervision at all times. Even the smallest of fireworks can cause severe injuries that will quickly ruin the holidays.
      Fireworks should be set off in an area well away from dry grass or flammable materials. Be sure fireworks are completely extinguished before being disposed of. And most importantly, have a fire extinguisher and/or a water hose ready to use in the event of an unplanned or unexpected fire. Be sure the water hose can reach all areas of where fireworks activities are being conducted, especially around the entire house. It’s also a great idea to wet down any dry, grassy area before and after setting off fireworks. Doing it before will also let you know the capability of your water source.
