      Simonis oversaw the company’s name change from ML Macadamia Orchards, which produced and sold macnuts wholesale. Expansion into a new line of retail products led to the name change to Royal Hawaiian Orchards last year.
      Regarding the change in management, Richard Schnitzler, president and co-owner of the Hamakua Macadamia Nut Co., told Stephanie Silverstein, of Pacific Business News, “I feel that most of the people in our industry — the Hawai`i macadamia nut industry — will feel this was a very positive move for their company. They’ve got some very smart people on (the board of directors), and I think enough has been enough for them with the company losing money and venturing off into some very new and different areas that have some risk.”
      Kai has been on the company’s Board of Directors since 2004. He is president of Pinnacle Investment Group, LLC and Pinnacle Media Group, LLC, and branch manager and investment representative of First Allied Securities, Inc.

      Kai is a graduate of Sacramento City College and attended University of the Pacific from 1983 to 1985. He served on the Board of Regents of the University of Hawai`i and was a director of the Research Corporation of University of Hawai`i, the Hawai`i Island Portuguese Chamber of Commerce and has served on several nonprofit boards in Hawai`i.
      According to its website, “Royal Hawaiian Orchards, L.P. is the largest grower in the world of macadamia nuts. Today, Hawai`i produces about one-quarter of the world’s supply, but Hawaiian macadamia nuts rate tops for premium quality.”

WITH HURRICANE SEASON UPON US, Hawai`i Electric Light Company urges all of its customers to review their preparations for emergencies. 

      HELCO says the best time to prepare for an emergency is before one occurs. It provides some tips to get started:

• Gather emergency supplies, such as a battery-powered radio, flashlights, lanterns, and batteries. 
• Store enough non-perishable food, water, and medicine for family members and pets to last seven days. 
• Before a storm hits or if there is a power outage, unplug all unnecessary electric equipment and appliances until the storm has passed or until power is firmly restored. 
• Take time now to plan where to take shelter if your home is subject to coastal storm surges or inland flooding. A list of emergency shelters is available at Hawai`i State Civil Defense Agency at scd.hawaii.gov, or t 733-4300. 
• As a tropical storm approaches, listen to emergency TV and radio broadcasts to learn which shelters have been opened. If evacuating, take emergency supplies and remember to shut off electricity at the main breaker or switch. 
• Make plans in advance to go to a safe location where electricity will be available if someone in your home depends on an electrically powered life support system and you don’t have a backup generator. Some shelters are designed for people with health needs; just remember to take your own medical equipment and medications. 
• Plan to seek safe shelter for your pets. During a tropical storm, pets may not be safe outdoors in doghouses or pens. 

      HELCO’s free Information Handbook for Emergency Preparedness includes these tips and more. It includes key numbers to have on hand, checklists for emergency supplies such as a home survival kit and first aid kit, electrical safety information, power outage preparedness and recovery, household and food safety tips and references and links to related resources such as the American Red Cross, Federal Emergency Management Agency and the civil defense agencies.
      The handbook can be downloaded at helcohi.com. Those without Internet access may receive a free copy by visiting Hawai`i Electric Light’s customer service locations in Hilo, Kona and Waimea or by calling 969-0137.

HAWAI`I COUNTY ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY COUNCIL announces June is the time to apply for Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, a federal low-income home energy subsidy. 

      Applications are taken from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday this month at HCEOC in Na`alehu and on Fridays only at the Old Pahala Clubhouse.
      Eligible families are asked to bring originals and copies of their most current HELCO bill; verifications of income for all adults (three months worth of pay stubs, Social Security 2013 benefits letter, pension, disability, unemployment or other regular payments); identification for all household members (driver license/passport and Social Security cards for adults, Social Security cards for children, birth certificates for infants under one year); proof of residence address, such as a rental agreement, property tax or other bill; and Final Utility Termination Notice if they’ve received a shut-off notice from HELCO).

A NEW SCIENCE CAMP IS SET TO LAUNCH in less than two weeks for local teens entering grades 9 through 12. Home base is at Pahala Plantation Cottages. Science Camps of America takes the learning outdoors, offering first-hand experience in environments ranging from beaches and rainforests to volcanoes and snow-covered mountaintops. 

      There are still a few spots remaining, and Science Camps wants to fill them by extending financial aid to those who qualify and register by Saturday, June 15.
      “The idea is to get teens outside and into the field to truly explore science,” Michael Richards, camp founder and executive director said.” We need to find new ways to engage students and nurture their interests, and in this particular case, we want to focus on science because we have one of nature’s greatest laboratories in our backyard.”
      Richards, a local entrepreneur from Kaneohe, said he worried his own grandchildren would become too preoccupied with using the Internet and social media and were spending less time exploring the world outside.
      He called upon his past geology teacher, Dr. Floyd McCoy, to help create a solid curriculum for the camp. McCoy, professor of geology and oceanography at Windward Community College, agreed to come on board as director of education.
      The first session, Land and Sea, will be held June 22 to July 1 and give campers the chance to examine volcanoes, geology, beaches, reefs and the ocean.
      The second session, Air and Space, will be held July 1 to 10 and expose campers to topics including the atmosphere, weather systems, climate change and innovative technologies that address the ever-changing world.
      Registration fees include meals and transportation to and from Kona or Hilo airport.

Ka`u News Briefs June 12, 2013

Sen. Russell Ruderman has expressed concern about `Aina Koa Pono's potential plan in Ka`u "to clear-cut 10,000
acres for its first crop" to feed a biofuel refinery above Pahala. Photo by Julia Neal

“IT IS LONG PAST TIME FOR THE NATIVE HAWAIIAN people to regain their right to self-governance,” said Sen. Brian Schatz in a speech on King Kamehameha Day calling for self-governance by Native Hawaiians. “I chose this day to come to the Senate Floor to talk about an issue of great importance to me and to my state: Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization. It was a top priority of my immediate predecessors in this body – Senators Inouye and Akaka.

Sen. Brian Schatz

      “I want to acknowledge their legacy and to thank Sen. Akaka for the role that he continues to play in the great State of Hawai`i and in the Native Hawaiian community in particular. And, here is the reason that I have chosen to carry forward this fight on behalf of Native Hawaiians. Simply stated: because it is right to seek justice.
      “Native Hawaiians are the only federally recognized Native people without a government-to-government relationship with the United States, and they deserve access to the prevailing federal policy of self-determination. Opponents have argued that Native Hawaiians are not “Indians” as if the word applies to Native people of a certain racial or ethnic heritage or is limited to indigenous people from one part of the United States, but not another. This is misguided.
      “Although the Congress has passed more than 150 statutes to try to address some of the negative effects of earlier federal actions and policies, data reveal persistent health, education and income disparities. Native Hawaiians experience disproportionately high rates of unemployment and incarceration; and, Native Hawaiian children are over-represented in the juvenile justice system. Hawaiian families rank last in the nation in average annual pay and face the highest rates of homelessness.
      The entire speech is available at schatz.senate.gov.

Sen. Russell Ruderman

KA`U’S SEN. RUSSELL RUDERMAN  voiced his concerns today about the `Aina Koa Pono biofuels project.  “I have had several occasions to talk to Pahala area residents about AKP, both formally in community meetings and informally,” Ruderman said. "In my experience after talking to over 50 Pahala residents as well as AKP project people, I have yet to find a single supporter who has not been financially rewarded for their comments or who stand to profit. On the other hand, every independent citizen I’ve spoken with (who has an opinion), including many community leaders, oppose it.

      “I fully support all safe, renewable energy projects, including other biomass and biofuels projects. I have grave concerns about AKP’s project, beyond the rate increase. Discussions with the principals of AKP have not reduced my concerns."

Dee technology has not been proven on a commercial
scale. Photo from biofuels-solutions.com

      Ruderman said his concerns include:

      “AKP can clear-cut 10,000 acres for their first crop. Nothing prevents this, and statements from AKP seem to suggest this course, which would worsen Ka`u’s already serious multi-year drought among other damages. AKP has no obligation to restore areas clear-cut.
      “It jeopardizes the leases of many ranchers and farmers in this agricultural community.
      “AKP has not decided which crops will be used. No biomass crop on record, anywhere in the world, produces anything near the yields they are projecting. And this area is largely marginal land with severe water shortages.
      “This technology has not been proven on a commercial scale, anywhere. This will be the first commercial experiment of their technology.
      “The only reason the Big Island has been chosen as their first experiment is our high electricity rates. It would be a non-starter elsewhere.
      “Ka`u is a community which cherishes its environment and culture. Often, outlandish proposals have been suggested in the name of 'jobs,' which are really attempts to exploit cheap land. These have included a spaceport, prisons, Riviera-style resorts, and now an untested massive microwave project. The people of Ka`u consistently reject these hazardous schemes. While employment is a challenge in Ka`u, the community wants economic progress which will preserve the environmental and cultural richness of the community. This community is remarkably self-reliant and, like any community with history and pride, protective of its heritage,”  concluded the state Senator.

    

IN REBUTTAL TESTIMONY SUBMITTED to the Public Utilities Commission regarding the proposed contract for `Aina Koa Pono to sell biofuel refined above Pahala from biomass grown in Ka`u to Hawai`i Electric Light Co., Cecily Barnes, manager of Hawaiian Electric Fuels Department, responded to Hawai`i County’s concern that the project could crowd out other future projects that could potentially lower the cost for HELCO customers.

      “It is the Companies’ position that the AKP Biodiesel Supply Contract will not impact the consideration of any future renewable energy projects, as the Companies will still be required to look into other renewable energy projects in meeting Renewable Portfolio Standards goals,” Barnes said. “The Companies expect to continue requiring liquid fossil fuel for the foreseeable future to operate generating units that provide baseload firm power, albeit potentially reduced aggregate volumes of liquid fossil fuel as more renewable energies become available. The AKP Biodiesel Supply Contract’s supply of a maximum of sixteen million gallons per year of biodiesel is only approximately four percent of the Hawaiian Electric Companies’ current total liquid fuel consumption. Thus, the Companies do not view the AKP Biodiesel Supply Contract as a commitment that would preclude opportunities to implement new power production technologies over the term of the AKP Biodiesel Supply Contract, as it is expected that some portion of the Hawaiian Electric Companies power generation will continue lo require liquid fuel during the next twenty years. Further, while there are also a number of other advanced biofuel technologies under development, the AKP biodiesel price is competitive with commercially available biodiesel. 

      “It is also worth noting that one of the Consumer Advocate’s witnesses, Mr. Hornby, agrees that the Companies will continue to have the flexibility to acquire additional cost-effective resources in the future, after the AKP Biodiesel Supply Contract is entered into. HELCO will likely be able to utilize both new biofuel and geothermal-derived resources, and should HELCO find new cost-effective renewable resources that are sufficient to displace its need for the AKP biodiesel in the future, Hawaiian Electric has ample ability to consume the AKP biodiesel on O`ahu.”
      This and other testimony is available at puc.hawaii.gov. Docket number is 2012-0185.

FISHING PONO: Living in Harmony with the Sea, the story of native Hawaiians using ancient conservation methods to restore fisheries, is being shown tonight at the opening of one of Hawai`i’s premiere movie galas, the Maui Film Festival. Producer of Fishing Pono is Teresa Tico, who has a home in Pahala and photographs for The Ka`u Calendar and the Ka`u Chamber of Commerce Directory. Graphic designer for the movie poster is Tanya Ibarra, of Pahala. Director is Mary Lambert, who is famous in another world – for directing music videos for Madonna, Annie Lenox, Motley Crue, Sting, Alison Kraus, Chris Isaak, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Mick Jagger and others. In feature length films, Lambert has directed Jody Foster. She also directed Pet Sematary I and Pet Sematary II, based on the Stephen King novels. She directed the Sci-Fi Channel film Mega Python vs. Gatoroid. 

     Lambert also wrote, produced and directed 14 Women, a film about women finally being elected to the U.S. Senate.
     In her personal life, Lambert is a passionate advocate for community-based management of natural resources. She worked with Tico on a film of hope for Hawai`i fisheries. “This is an inspiring story of how one community turned the tide on a seemingly doomed resource and documents the competing interests to consume fish, from commercial fisheries to recreational fishermen and Native Hawaiians who view fishing as a cultural practice,” say the notes provided by the filmmakers.
     Tico has produced more than 30 short documentaries, most of them addressing pressing environmental issues, including coral reef degradation, climate change and rising sea levels impacting Polynesia. She plans a feature documentary including fisheries in Ka`u. Fishing Pono was funded in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting through its subsidiary Pacific Islanders in Communication. It will be shown on the PBS series Pacific Heartbeat.

THE FIFTH ANNUAL VOLCANO POTTERY SALE is Friday from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Volcano Art Center’s Ni`aulani Campus in Volcano Village. The sale features newly created work by twelve ceramic artists of East Hawai`i.

SEN. MAZIE HIRONO JOINED HUNDREDS of guests with Hawai`i ties Sunday at the U.S. Capitol to participate in the 44th annual lei-draping ceremony honoring King Kamehameha the Great. 

Attendees included members of the Hawai`i Congressional Delegation, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and the Hawai`i State Society.

      Hawai`i observes Kamehameha Day today.
      Hirono gave closing remarks at the ceremony.“We gather to honor the first King of Hawai`i, Kamehameha the Great,” she said. “From the island of Hawai`i, Kamehameha was raised to become a skilled warrior in the traditional ways of combat, uniting the islands we all know as Hawai`i. He laid the foundations for modern Hawai`i by protecting the traditions and culture of his ancestors even as the kingdom grew and interacted with Western nations. His strong leadership during this period of great change inspires us all to work together to ensure our shared traditions and history can be celebrated for generations to come.”

IN REBUTTAL TESTIMONY SUBMITTED to the Public Utilities Commission regarding the proposed contract for `Aina Koa Pono to sell biofuel refined above Pahala from biomass grown in Ka`u to Hawai`i Electric Light Co., utility executives discuss externalities, or positive and negative effects of the project.

      “Externalities are generally valued based on the perception of the person viewing the externality,” said Robert Alm, executive vice president of Hawaiian Electric Co., Inc. 

      “Nevertheless, the Commission should consider that the AKP Biodiesel Supply Contract will create a direct economic benefit to the state and energy security, and is in line with the state’s energy policy.
      “In evaluating the AKP Biodiesel Supply Contract, the Companies believe that the Commission should consider that the AKP Biodiesel Supply Contract (1) is to serve Keahole Power Plant, which its primary purpose is to serve as a base load generating facility, (2) is for biodiesel manufactured within the state of Hawai`i, creating a direct economic benefit to the state (e.g., increase in jobs and more revenue stream) in addition to energy security from locally-produced feedstock, and (3) is in line with the state’s energy policy, which supports the use of biofuel, and will contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Robert Alm

      “The Companies believe that the assessment of many of these externalities are more directly associated with the AKP Project itself, and would be more appropriately addressed in the Project permitting process, or in a mandatory environmental impact statement or environmental assessment process, if so required.”
      Cecily Barnes, manager of Hawaiian Electric Fuels Department, discusses potential positive and negative externalities.
      “Benefits of locally-produced biofuels include the creation of new agricultural and manufacturing jobs, a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, increased energy security and independence, and the shifting of a portion of our significant expenditures on imported fossil fuels to locally-produced biofuel.
      “There are a number of expected qualitative externalities or benefits which may serve to justify a potential AKP biodiesel price premium which is expected to diminish over time. Further movement to increase available biofuel produced within the state of Hawai`i increases energy security and reduces reliance on imported fuel sources.
      “With approval of the AKP Biodiesel Supply Contract by the Commission, AKP will begin construction of its facility and begin more detailed work to develop its agricultural operations. AKP is planning to scale its Project to produce much more biodiesel than will be sold to Hawaiian Electric under the AKP Biodiesel Supply Contract. Therefore, not only will the power generation sector benefit from reducing its reliance on imported fuel, AKP expects to produce additional biodiesel volumes that can contribute to reducing reliance on imported fuels in other sectors of Hawai`i’s economy, thus keeping those expenditures within the state’s economy.
      “Greenhouse gas emissions are projected to be significantly less when compared to GHG emissions from conventional diesel production from crude oil.

      “The use of locally-produced feedstock developed with a strategic land management plan, coupled with an advanced bioconversion process, will serve to minimize AKP’s land footprint and GHG profile. Because the AKP Project is a commercial scale agro-industrial project, it is expected to generate jobs in a number of sectors, primarily in agriculture. Launching the AKP Project along with its agricultural and industrial infrastructure and logistics networks will help stimulate Hawai`i’s biofuel industry. A successful AKP Project is expected to attract additional high-tech investment in the advanced biofuel industry. 

      “The Companies believe there are potential positive and negative externalities associated with any new large-scale facility/project. Potentially negative externalities include: fuel spills or leaks associated with fuel storage or transportation of the biodiesel; social issues, such as traffic congestion; and, land use, such as roadway damage and noise. However, the Companies have not quantified any negative externalities, and it is difficult to determine the impact, if any, they will have.
      “It is also important to note that a positive externality that impacts one group may create a negative externality for another group. For example, with the potential for volumes of biofuel displacing fossil fuel, there is a potential adverse effect on the businesses and employment in the state that rely on the importing and refining of petroleum products. However, it would be unfair to place the burden of declining fossil fuel use in Hawai`i on biofuel producers in the state that offer local economic growth and energy security, as energy independence and the use of renewable energy are supported by the governor and Legislature. Further, although no calculations have been done to evaluate the impact on petroleum jobs that may result from biofuel substitution, because local biofuel production has a labor intensive agricultural component, it could be assumed that barrel for barrel, local biofuels could generate more jobs than the petroleum jobs that may potentially be displaced within the state of Hawai`i.”
      This and other testimony is available at puc.hawaii.gov. Docket number is 2012-0185.

THE STATE OF HAWAI`I AND THE HAWAI`I HEALTH CONNECTOR have received the next stage of approval from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to launch Hawai`i’s new online health insurance marketplace on Oct. 1, 2013. The Connector had received conditional federal approval in January following the submission of its marketplace operating plans.

      “This is an important step in our progress to transform healthcare in Hawai`i,” said Gov. Neil Abercrombie. “Every resident deserves a good, equitable system of healthcare, and this new online marketplace requires insurers to offer better benefits and reward quality.” 

      When launched, the online marketplace will serve as a convenient, one-stop resource for eligible individuals, families and small businesses to browse and purchase health insurance. The Connector will be the only place where individuals and small businesses can qualify for tax credits, subsidies and cost sharing reductions, per the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

      “Today’s announcement signals that we have made significant progress toward the delivery of a state-based insurance marketplace to our community by Oct. 1,” said Coral Andrews, executive director of Hawai`i Health Connector. “Achieving this milestone is a reflection of tremendous collaboration by stakeholders engaged at all levels. It is another step toward enabling access to affordable health insurance coverage statewide.”       

      Plans purchased through the Connector from Oct. 1, 2013 will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2014.
