Sales permits approved under the old rules for the month of September 2017, prior to the implementa- tion of the new rules, will be honored. Other rules for permitted sales within parks, such as those outlined by temporary concession permits and designated concessionaire agreements, are not affected by these new rules as they do not apply to the sale and distribution of expressive materials in conjunction with a First Amendment activity. Also under the new rules, a permit is necessary for use of a portable table, within a designated area, for the purposes of selling or distributing expressive materials. No other structure, equipment or park sur- face such as chairs, display mats, shelving, umbrellas, tents, canopies, podiums or platforms can be used to sell or distribute expressive materials on park land. The designated areas are located where there will be minimal impact to other park functions and facili- ties. The portable tables and all materials must be removed from the site each day and nothing can be stored at the park location. Permit applications for these activities will not be accepted more than a year before the proposed request date and cannot be used for a period lasting longer than 14 days.

Improvements being contemplated include the construction of walkways, undergrounding of utilities and installation of landscaping along Kamehameha Highway between the ‘Ōpae‘ula Stream Bridge, also known as “Twin Bridges”, and the Anahulu River Bridge within the Hale‘iwa Special District. Community input from the meeting will be used to identify issues and refine the Project alternatives for evaluation in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) being prepared for the Project, in conformance with Hawai‘i Revised Statutes (HRS) Chapter 343 and Hawai‘i Administrative Rules Section 11-200. In addition, we are asking for the community’s help to identify relevant environmental, social and technical issues related to the Project that should be evaluated through the EIS process. Meeting Location and Time: Place: Waialua Elementary School Cafeteria Time: Tuesday, October 10, 2017 67-020 Waialua Beach Road 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Waialua, HI 96791

Dental health announcement from the Haleiwa Family Dental Center, Ltd.
Well, it’s that time of the year. Most dental insurance have a maximum annual dollar limit they will pay each year. The rollover date is usually January 1st. Improve your health while saving money or setting up an exam and cleaning appointment today. Please do not wait until December as often there are not enough appointments to ac- commodate everyone. Waiting until January may result in more personal expense. Call your dental health provider to make the most of you dental benefits. Sincerely, Todd R Okazaki, D.D.S.

Following the 2016 session, the Department of (808) 778-8443 (808) 304-5776 Land and Natural Resources re-allocated funds with- in its Division of Forestry and Wildlife to hire a new outreach and education specialist for Kaena Point. Jaime Raduenzel is that person. Jaime engages residents and visitors to help them avoid destructive activities such as mud bog- ging and off-road driving that rips up vegetation and causes erosion harmful to the reefs. She ensures compliance with the vehicle permit system and helps keep an eye on endangered and threatened species. Jaime has already secured grants for new projects that will benefit the park. The outreach specialist has far more work to do than any person could possibly accomplish alone, so she is looking for volunteers who may be inter- ested in joining various work days to remove inva- sive plants, protect native species, and other tasks. There are some positive improvements to vegeta- tion and the coastline beyond the gate, but there is still much work to be done. Volunteers are encour- aged to email their name, contact information and interests to [email protected] Of course, this work builds upon the efforts of so many community members and volunteers who came before and continue to protect this area. The Kaena Point Natural Area Reserve has rebounded wonderfully with vegetation and wildlife since the construction of the predator fence. Army Beach is much nicer since vehicular access was restricted and the vegetation has returned. Vehicular access beyond the end of the paved road has been managed through a gate and permit- ting system established in 2014. Permits are free and easy to request through DLNR.hawaii.gov/dsp/ oahu. The dirt and rocky road is only suitable for four-wheel drive vehicles, yet more than 6000 ve- hicles are now registered. No permits are necessary to walk into the gated section of the park. More and more people come to this area every day. What was once a quiet, almost desolate, stretch Page 8 www.northshorenews.com September 27, 2017
