Employee of the Year Tammy Yeh (not pictured) 4 Message from the Mayor Aloha everyone, A woman came to visit the Mayor’s Office on October 25, the Thursday preceding the hurricane warning that we all experi- enced recently. She was visiting from New Mexico and was here on vacation when she said God sent her a message. She said that there would be another tsunami soon, and that I needed to tell everyone to pray in order to avoid disaster. I was in a meeting and did not get to speak to her personally, but my staff assured her that the county does everything in our power to warn people of any natural or man-made disasters. After speaking to her for a while, they thanked her for her time and wished her a pleasant stay for the remainder of her trip. I am not here to say whether she is wrong or right or whether I believe that God gave her a message. But I am here to say that we have had two tsunami warnings in two years and that we need to remain vigilant and that we need to stay prepared. And if you aren’t prepared, now is a good time to get started. Because if there is ever a better time to start preparing for the threat of disaster, it is right after one takes place. That’s because everything should be fresh on your mind right now as far as what went wrong and what went right for you and your family during this latest tsunami scare. Please indulge me by asking your- self these questions: - Did you have an emergency kit ready or did you have to scramble to put one together? - Did you already know whether you were in a tsunami inundation zone or did you have to look it up in the phone book again? - If you were in an inundation zone, did you designate somewhere to go to and plan on the best way to get there, or were you calling family and friends at the last minute? You get the picture. Look at what’s happening on the East Coast. Almost a hundred dead, millions without power and en- tire towns ripped apart. I’ve heard people say out there that these sirens ruined a good Halloween party for them, or that the evacuation was a waste of time. That attitude is not only wrong, but dangerous. We cannot afford to be complacent if we hear of an- other natural disaster heading our way. Take the time to prepare now. The prayers are up to you. Aloha and God Bless. 5 M.D. Minute I wanted to express my gratitude to the many employees that came out to prepare, protect and secure our community on October 27th. It’s a call that none of us want to get, especially at the start of a Saturday night, but it’s one that was answered with speed, professionalism and commitment. The most remarkable feat was that we were able to activate our critical staff, secure critical infrastructure and begin moving people to safety in a little under 2 hours. I personally witnessed the incredible teamwork and partnership that occurred between all agencies that were involved from government to private sector to non-profits and industry associations. We were fortunate that the tsunami was not as severe as it potentially could have been. Regardless, we were prepared and ready to respond. I recently had an opportunity to speak to a group of young adults and the discussion turned to the events of October 27th. The message that I continuously expressed to them was one of prepared- ness and heading warnings that come from Civil Defense.

  • Statement by U. S. Senatordanielk. Inouye
    STATEMENT BY U. S. SENATOR DANIEL K. INOUYE ON MAUI COUNTY PETITION FOR REVOCATION OF RESTRICTED AREA R-3104 (DOCKET NO. 15519) I wish to take this means to express to the Federal Aviation Adminis­ tration my support of the petition filed by Maui County Mayor Elmer F. Cravalho, requesting the revocation of airspace in Restricted Area R-3104 and Associated Warning Area W-324 (Docket No. 15519). In addition, I wish to voice my longstanding concern for the safety and welfare of the residents of Maui, who have been subjected to danger by naval aircraft operating in the Kahoolawe vicinity for more than 30 years. Certainly the growth and development of Maui, the second largest island in the Hawaiian chain, has been evident in recent years. Tourism lately has become a prospering industry. The State Department of Planning and Economic Development last year reported that tourism has become increasingly important to the Maui economy, joining pineapple and sugar as vital income and revenue producers. The State also has said .it expects major expansion of the tourist industry on the island to continue. To date visitor accommodations in the County have increased more than tenfold since 1960. On the Island of Maui, 5,644 hotel units were available to visitors in October, 1974, some 4,100 of which were located in the Lahaina- Napili area on the island’s southwestern shore, close to Kahoolawe. Last year the State projected that 2,775 new hotel units would be built on Maui. The rapid development of Maui and corresponding increases in both the visitor and resident population has meant that the possible threat to per­ sonal safety posed by naval air operations over nearby Kahoolawe Island has intensified.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I have enclosed a copy of the 1982 DBED study on the feasibility of Molokai becoming a separate county. It concludes that nothing can be studied without more funding. There was to have been another study done on the feasibility of creating something like a township or sub-unit of a county in response to a request. by the Fourteenth Legislature (37. to be reported in 1988). but nothing has been found. The library staff at. DEED is still looking for the report . State Archives searched exhaustively and found nothing. House and Senate received nothing. and there is no Governor's message on file. The report. probably said little more than. we need more money to study this." If the report re-surfaces, I will send a copy to the Charter Commission. On a separate matter, please do consider the possibility of linking Maui County public meetings and hearings via joining the State's ACCESS and FYI systems. working with MCC and Chronicle Cablevision re: interactive meetings.

  • GUEST: PAT SAIKI 2 LSS 206 (LENGTH: 27:19) FIRST AIR DATE: 09/23/08 Aloha No; and Welcome to Long Story Short on PBS Hawaii;
    GUEST: PAT SAIKI 2 LSS 206 (LENGTH: 27:19) FIRST AIR DATE: 09/23/08 Aloha no; and welcome to Long Story Short on PBS Hawaii; I’m Leslie Wilcox. Last week, Pat Saiki recalled a time in Hawaii’s history when there was bi-partisan collaboration in the State Legislature, instead of what she calls “partisanship gone to the edge.” A Republican, she served as a State lawmaker, U.S. Congresswoman and head of the nation’s Small Business Administration. More with Pat Saiki next. Pat Saiki, wife, mother of five, and public school teacher, entered politics in order to open doors for people, especially women and minorities. And though she was another kind of minority in Hawaii, a Republican, she was able to work across the political aisle to get laws changed. When collaboration failed, the former Hilo girl could be a fierce opponent. Did you ever look at yourself as others might be seeing you, or did you do a lot of introspection that way, or did you just say, Whatever? Whatever. This is who I am. That’s right; exactly. And you didn’t—did you look for mentors or people who could show you by example? There weren’t any. [chuckle] You know. There—I hope that the women who follow after me will pursue their goals and find the successes I did. And like I say, my life with my children, though—I mean, throughout this whole thing, the five kids were raised well, I thought. And my husband was a big help; he was the kind of support that you don’t see or get very often.
