LEEWARD COAST ASKED TO CONSERVE WATER OVERNIGHT
ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4
The Honolulu Board of Water Supply (BWS) is asking all residents from Honokai Hale to Makaha to please conserve water overnight on Friday, December 4th between 7 p.m. and 9 a.m., as crews work to replace a broken valve.
The BWS will fill reservoirs along the Leeward Coast before the closure so that customers will continue to have water service. However, the 24-inch water main that brings approximately 60 percent of the water to the Leeward Coast will not be in service while crews are making the repair. Therefore, the BWS asks all residents to use water sparingly and for priority needs only during this time. This means using water for cooking, drinking and personal hygiene.

Homeless Christmas Outreach and Beach Clean-Up on 12/19/09
Aloha,
This is to let my family and friends know that Young's Island Gem Production family, participants and parents has come together this year to help the many families that are houseless at Keaau Beach Park. Several Local Businesses has made donations of Food, Toys, and Miscellaneous items to be distributed to where our group feels that are in need, so we have chosen all of the families that reside at Keaau beach park. Unfortunately, there are some items that may not be easy to obtain. We are asking you if you would like to make a donation. Before I give you a list, I think this is an important family that I think we should help to meet their need.
This is their story: Both husband and wife worked and made only enough to pay the rent and utilities. But they could no longer afford the rent because the landlord had raised to rent to where they had to make choices that would eventually send them to living on the beach. Here is the thing, the husband has a medical condition that requires him to have an oxygen machine to help him breathe at night. Without this machine he can die. I am asking if someone can help me to acquire a genrator that will help for the husband to use at night. Please help!
Here is a list of other items that we are not able to obtain:
Tarps, outdoors stove, coolers, ropes, lights/lanterns, blankets, pillows, pillow cases, tent (smal/big), pots, etc.
Any help that you can offer is greatly appreciated.
Everything will be distributed out on December 19. 2009 from 9am - 12pm a Keaau Beach Park fronting the second bathroom.
Please make it a season of giving. Happy Holidays!!
Mahalo!

Tropic Lands' "light industrial park" proposal in Nanakuli
An excerpt from the 11/23/09 OEQC, including a link to the actual notice (and the EIS itself) is provided below:
"2. Nanakuli Community Baseyard (DEIS)
Island: District: TMK: Applicant:
Approving Agency:
Consultant: Comments: Permits:
Oahu Waianae 8-7-09:02 (por) Tropic Land LLC, 1001 Bishop Street, Suite 2690, Honolulu, HI 96813. Arick Yanagihara, 538-3785, ext. 252
State Land Use Commission, 235 South Beretania Street, Room 406, Honolulu, HI 96813. Dan Davidson, 587-3822 Kimura International, Inc., 1600 Kapiolani Blvd., Suite 1610, Honolulu, HI 96814. Glenn Kimura, 944- 8848
DEIS 45-day comment period starts from the date of this Notice. Address comments to the Applicant, with copies to the Accepting Authority and Consultant State Land Use Commission - boundary amendment; Waianae Sustainable Communities Plan amendment; Zoning change; NPDES; Grading and construction permits
Tropic Land LLC proposes to develop a light industrial park on 96 acres in upper Lualualei Valley. The project will consist of approximately 41 units, averaging two acres each. An incubator center will include an industrial building with start-up space and open yard space. The project will have a secured entry off of Lualualei Naval Access Road and a secondary emergency access. There will be landscaped buffers on the front and sides of the development. The northwest corner of the property (2.4 acres) will remain undeveloped. A 100-foot wide strip of land mauka of the industrial lots will be used for drainage and rockfall hazard mitigation. The project will be structured under a condominium property regime. Before the project can be implemented, the landowner must obtain an amendment to the State Land Use District (from Agricultural to Urban) and a change in zoning from Preservation (P-2) to Industrial (I-1). Traffic increases on Farrington Highway will worsen congestion and mitigation measures have been identified. All project traffic will be routed on Lualualei Naval Access Road. The landowner has an understanding with the Navy for use of this roadway. The project will convert 13.5 acres of Class B agricultural lands, but addresses a shortage of small-scale industrial space on the Waianae Coast. No adverse impacts to biological, hydrological, archaeological, or cultural, resources are expected. The developer will extend a water line from the municipal system to obtain water and construct an on-site wastewater treatment system. Short- term noise, dust, and erosion impacts will be mitigated through construction BMPs."
Note: Comments regarding the draft environmental impact statement are due on or about 1/7/10.

Caring for Waianae's Streams: Ka Wai Ola O Waianae Moku advisory committee meeting
Aloha Kakou,
Our next Ka Wai Ola O Waianae Moku advisory committee meeting is next MONDAY, Nov 30 from 6:30-8:30 pm. We will meet at the Waianae Satellite City Hall multipurpose room.
Debbie Liang (EPA project officer) and Herb Lee (Pacific American Foundation executive director) will be joining us for our meeting. Come early at 6 pm for pupus and to talk story with Debbie and Herb.
Pake and Jolyn, Ka Wai Ola community liaisons, will be calling you this week to encourage and confirm your attendance.
The focus of our advisory committee meeting is two-fold.
1. Prioritize environmental issues for action. To determine which issue the advisory committee will focus future action on, we will evaluate these issues based on whether any other organization is addressing the issue, feasibility of the community addressing the issue, and costs associated with action.
· Illegal dumping in and near streams
· Overdevelopment
· Impaired water bodies/Ag & urban storm water runoff
· Mercury in fish
· Damage to coral resulting from storm water runoff
· Active/Inactive landfills
· Outdoor air quality
· Erosion resulting from fires and aggregate mining
2. Brainstorm actions to address the issue of priority. Once the advisory committee prioritizes the environmental issue, we will spend time brainstorming ideas on the who, what, where, when and how of actions to reduce its impacts on human health and the environment and encourage community involvement. So come with your ideas!

Waianae Land Trust Applies for Clean Water & Natural Lands Grant
NOTE: the site visit description is for a different group seeking City funds, not the Waianae Land Trust.
Kudos to Shelly Freitas and Louella Kohler of the Waianae Land Trust, who recently applied for a grant from the City's Clean Water & Natural Lands fund to create educational programs based on the ahupua`a model on the Wai`anae Coast. Good luck on achieving this excellent goal! For information about this program, visit: http://www.honolulu.gov/council/cbc/cwnl.htm. Here is some information from the City regarding the project:
Site Visits of
The Clean Water and Natural Lands Commission
October 26, 2009
Commission Members: Kevin Chang, Dr. Hans Krock, Dr. Benton Kealii Pang
Others: Teri Wright (OHA intern for Kevin Chang)
12:00 pm - Siobahn Corp. Wai‘anae Valley parcel
Commissioners met with Leah Caldwell, applicant and Nancy Yamachi, real estate
agent for the property owner. The property is approximately 100 yards from the
Wai‘anae convenience center, a drop off area for refuse and recycling for the residents and borders the old Mountain View Dairy property.
The property is also bordered by a stream that has been channelized by the City and County since the 1950’s. Dr. Krock believes that the stream would have flooded the property prior to the earthen berm and cement channelization. Ms. Caldwell (no relation to Kirk Caldwell) took us to the central 2 portion of the parcel which, according to Dr. Pang, has all the indications of being a wetland (wet soils, and California grass).
A majority of the vegetation is kiawe trees, koa haole shrubs, and buffle grass. There was no indication of native plant species in the area as indicated in the proposal, and Ms. Caldwell apologized for the misidentifications of those plants. The vegetation is not any different from 90% of the vegetation in Wai‘anae Valley. Four endangered Hawaiian stilts were observed in the channelized stream adjacent to the property.
The parcel is next to an agricultural farm and bordered by three elephone/electrical poles.
Ms. Caldwell has plans to plant Neem, a medicinal tree from India, in the area and keep the non-native forest intact. She plans to get assistance from the University of Hawai‘i for growing Neem (eg., College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources) and community outreach (eg., Center for Hawaiian Studies). Ms. Caldwell is a Physics student at the University of Hawai‘i and sees this area as vitally important to the education of Neem for Hawai‘i. She has not yet made contact with community members in the Wai‘anae community, but Dr. Pang offered to put her in contact with Dr. Bruce Koebele of Ka‘ala Farms, Inc. who is currently restoring a dry forest in the back of Wai‘anae Valley.
She planned to do more outreach if she received financial support for the project and is currently running the project by herself.
At the upcoming public meeting, Ms. Caldwell was told to provide more information to
the commission on any historic properties or burials on the property- she indicated a
possible burial on the property, information on environmental contaminants on the
property, and community support from residents in Wai‘anae.
Kudos to Shelly Freitas and Louella Kohler of the Waianae Land Trust, who recently applied for a grant from the City's Clean Water & Natural Lands fund to create educational programs based on the ahupua`a model on the Wai`anae Coast. Good luck on achieving this excellent goal! For information about this program, visit: http://www.honolulu.gov/council/cbc/cwnl.htm. Here is some information from the City regarding the project:

Commission Members: Kevin Chang, Dr. Hans Krock, Dr. Benton Kealii Pang
Others: Teri Wright (OHA intern for Kevin Chang)
12:00 pm - Siobahn Corp. Wai‘anae Valley parcel
Commissioners met with Leah Caldwell, applicant and Nancy Yamachi, real estate
agent for the property owner. The property is approximately 100 yards from the
Wai‘anae convenience center, a drop off area for refuse and recycling for the residents and borders the old Mountain View Dairy property.
The property is also bordered by a stream that has been channelized by the City and County since the 1950’s. Dr. Krock believes that the stream would have flooded the property prior to the earthen berm and cement channelization. Ms. Caldwell (no relation to Kirk Caldwell) took us to the central 2 portion of the parcel which, according to Dr. Pang, has all the indications of being a wetland (wet soils, and California grass).
A majority of the vegetation is kiawe trees, koa haole shrubs, and buffle grass. There was no indication of native plant species in the area as indicated in the proposal, and Ms. Caldwell apologized for the misidentifications of those plants. The vegetation is not any different from 90% of the vegetation in Wai‘anae Valley. Four endangered Hawaiian stilts were observed in the channelized stream adjacent to the property.
The parcel is next to an agricultural farm and bordered by three elephone/electrical poles.
Ms. Caldwell has plans to plant Neem, a medicinal tree from India, in the area and keep the non-native forest intact. She plans to get assistance from the University of Hawai‘i for growing Neem (eg., College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources) and community outreach (eg., Center for Hawaiian Studies). Ms. Caldwell is a Physics student at the University of Hawai‘i and sees this area as vitally important to the education of Neem for Hawai‘i. She has not yet made contact with community members in the Wai‘anae community, but Dr. Pang offered to put her in contact with Dr. Bruce Koebele of Ka‘ala Farms, Inc. who is currently restoring a dry forest in the back of Wai‘anae Valley.
She planned to do more outreach if she received financial support for the project and is currently running the project by herself.

Wai'anae `Olelo - High Risk for Closure!
Aloha mai,
The future of Wai’anae Olelo Community Media Center is at-risk of being closed depending on the decisions made by the DCCA Director Lawrence Reifurth regarding the future support for Olelo Community PEG Media.
Over the past ten years the Wai’anae Olelo Media Center has responded well to the needs of the community with being the first center to work with students from elementary through high school, along with providing training and services to many groups, families and individuals who may not have had access media before Olelo.
The Wai’anae Olelo Media Center has flourished over the years and has gained local and national recognition as a model Community Media Center. Closure of the Wai’anae Olelo CMC and all its’ community building efforts would hinder future development of Media and Communications Technology for the Wai’anae coast communities.
We ask for your support with contacting Director Reifurth, to express concerns of the potential harm his decision can have on the Wai’anae Olelo Community Media Center. Mahalo for the continued support for the people of the Wai’anae coast. Please pass this email along to others in our community.

Olelo seeks funding, could close 3 Hawaii centers
Pacific Business News (Honolulu) - by Nanea Kalani Pacific Business News
Olelo President Kealii Lopez says funding is not keeping pace with increased demand and interest.
The nonprofit that manages and operates public-access TV channels for Oahu says it has been operating in the red for the past five years and may lay off nine employees and close three community media centers to further cut costs.
Olelo Community Media is seeking additional funding through Oceanic Time Warner Cable, which pays a so-called franchise fee to the state.
While federal law requires cable operators to subsidize public-access TV, the state has local authority to regulate Oceanic and determines the fees paid to Olelo and other public-access organizations. The fee is set at 3 percent of Oceanic’s revenue from cable operations.
Oceanic’s current 20-year franchise agreement ends in December and a new contract is being negotiated with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.
Honolulu-based Olelo says it hopes the state will consider either increasing the amount that Olelo receives from franchise fees or lifting a cap that the state imposed in 2000 that has cut Olelo’s funding in half over the last five years.
This year, Olelo is receiving $3.4 million in franchise fees, which President Kealii Lopez said represents about 80 percent of the nonprofit’s budget.
“We’re not saying poor Olelo, we know we’re not unlike any other business out there that’s suffering,” said Lopez, noting that the organization has reduced hours at its media centers, implemented a hiring freeze and decreased employee benefits. “The frustrating part is that we are trying to meet increasing demand and interest and there are funds that are available that can be released to help offset our efforts to serve the community.”
Lopez said Olelo used money in its reserves to pay for the opening of two new community media centers last year, adding to the six already in operation on Oahu.
She said demand has grown from its use of a half channel in 1990 to capacity on six channels, with educational programming filling most of two channels, and city and government activities on three others. Original, local programming aired for a total of 5,639 hours last year.
The DCCA placed a formula-based cap on Olelo’s funding in 2000 with the aim of helping pay for a statewide telecommunications network to connect state agencies. The state began collecting funds within Olelo’s designated 3-percent payment from Oceanic, but did not impose a cap on the Neighbor Island public-access stations.
Lopez says the DCCA has collected $5 million to date, including $1.7 million this year.
Olelo wants to use additional funding to be able to provide such services as video teleconferencing, live cablecasting, interisland connectivity, video-on-demand and eventually move to high-definition capacity.
Oceanic President Nate Smith said the cap on Olelo’s funding “is a DCCA issue” and declined to reveal details of the franchise agreement being negotiated with the state.
“But I will say that a 3-percent allocation for PEG (public, educational and governmental access) is a 20-year-old mind-set,” he said.
Smith said that he has seen a decrease in usage numbers on Olelo’s channels, which he attributes to heavier usage of the Internet for broadcasting videos.

“FOOD FOR THOUGHT”:
Wai'anae – the Future of Organics?
"Look at these carrots - have you ever seen a carrot this orange and vibrant? You can't grow this anywhere else on the island." says Dan Rudoy, farm manager at Kahumana Organic Farms.
"I feel incredibly grateful to be able to farm and provide for the community in such an amazing place. Lualualei has to be one of the greatest valleys on earth. It has some of the best soil in the world and is home to an amazing community. I see a lot of potential value in both the land and the people here."
Dan has spent the last few years farming and helping the community with sustainable organic agriculture. He formerly worked with Ma'o Farms here in Wai'anae and is now expanding Kahumana's seven acre farm.
Kahumana is more than just a farm, it's the operating base for Alternative Structures International. ASI is a non-profit corporation which manages two transitional housing programs for 125 families in Waianae, and a Therapeutic Living Program for the developmentally disabled.
Working together with Oahu Work Links, Kahumana is creating a vocational training program for residents of these shelters to develop skills in agriculture and the culinary arts. The "farm to table" program aims to make fresh organic produce more available for Wai'anae residents and to create awareness about sustainability and nutrition. These programs will be headed up by Dan and some of the other staff at Kahumana.
“Personally, I'm interested in relationships.... relationships between people, relationships between humans and plants, plants and soil and the potential that exists between them. Farming brings that all together – it's an amazing experience that can serve as a platform for social change. Nothing brings people together like food. And no food is better for you, and the environment than local, organically grown veggies. There is no reason why this valley could not grow the best organic produce on the island. I would love to see this valley return to its farming roots and provide sustainability and direction for the community.”
