Delay in Hiring a New Honolulu Police Department Chief of Police
The Honolulu Police Department has been op- erating with an Acting Police Chief since December The Fabulous Tradewinds 2016 when the former Chief of Police went on leave An Invitation for Homeless Veterans and Family prior to his retirement at the end of February 2017. 2017 Homeless Veterans Stand Down The delay in selecting a new Chief of Police is Featuring: why I introduced Resolution 17-220 urging the Ho- Various Service Providers (Housing, Legal, Benefits, nolulu Police Commission to move expeditiously to SNAP, Medical, Vision, Clothing…more…) select a new Chief of Police by November 30, 2017.

The City and County of Date: September 1, 2017 Honolulu continues to be one of the safest cities in Times: 0900 – 1400 the United States. Location: Waialua Community Assoc. I am confident that there are more than enough Center capable candidates within the Honolulu Police De- 66-434 Kamehameha Hwy, partment or who have since left the department that Haleiwa, HI 96712 could meet the great expectations that the public has for the Chief of Police. Filling the position with one of these candidates would be beneficial to move forward past these unfortunate circumstances. Hiring someone from outside of the Honolulu Police would equate to saying we don’t have confi- dence in the department. The Honolulu Police Commission received nu- merous applications and narrowed the number to thirty-four qualified applicants as of June 2017, but have yet to select a new Chief of Police. The Ho- nolulu Police Commission has since hired a second consultant, Pennsylvania-based EB Jacobs to fulfill the task of creating tests for the applicants, scoring the tests and recommending the top candidates to fill the position as Chief of Police for the City and County of Honolulu. The Honolulu Police Commission could have narrowed the applicants down to the top ten in- stead of thirty-four by now. If they are concerned with top officials currently at the Honolulu Police Department who may have been involved with the situation surrounding the former Chief of Police the commission could hire from the ranks of Major or Captain. The delay in filling such an important position as the Chief of Police weighs on the public’s con- fidence in the Commission’s ability to fulfill their duties in a timely manner.

Aloha Friends, Family, and Neighbors! August has been an exciting and action filled month! School has started again and with that be- ginning there is always a need for additional school supplies. I currently serve as a member of the The Salvation Army’s Echelon Hawaii Board, a group of diverse, young leaders collectively rising to serve our local communities. As a board member I was able to have Waialua Elementary chosen as one of the three schools on Oahu to receive supplies through their back-to-school program called the Red Pencil Project. This was Echelon Hawaii’s second annual Red Pencil Project at Waialua Elementary School. Last year the Red Pencil Project adopted one of the first grade classes and provided them backpacks filled with supplies. This year, in order to meet a bigger need the Red Pencil Project donated a set of three school uniforms for 47 children, as well as additional sup- plies for teachers and students. On August 10th, the Presenting uniforms to students at Waialua Elementary. uniforms and supplies were presented to the children along with a pizza party from Papa John’s Hawaii. If you are interested in continuing to help the children in our community with necessities for their education you can go to http://www.hawaii.salva- tionarmy.org/hawaii/Red-Pencil-Project to make a monetary donation. Additionally, if you are interested in joining Echelon Hawaii or want more information about what services they provide you can contact Toni Stock at (808) 440-1865 or via email at toni.stock@ usw.salvationarmy.org. I am happy to announce that after the presenta- tion of school supplies on the 10th, I went into labor that evening. This is my husband Scott and my first child! Two days later our son, Noah Kamaluho‘okele Matsumoto was born on August 12th at 3:47 in the afternoon weighing 7lbs. 9oz. We feel so blessed to share this wonderful news with all of you!

Phone: 637-4382 at [email protected] (Opposite end of Alii Beach Park from the for more information. Colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer Haleiwa Boat Harbor) in the United States. The cancer can be present for years before symptoms occur so following your doctor’s advice on screening is important. Because 90% of people diagnosed with colon cancer are over the age of 50, screenings begin at that age. If you have a relative, especially parents or siblings, who have had colon cancer or polyps, your doctor may recommend screening earlier. The most common screening test is a colonoscopy, which is an outpatient procedure allowing a doctor to look at the inner lining of your large intestine (rectum and colon) to see if there are ulcers, polyps (like skin tags), tumors, inflammation or bleeding. During the colonoscopy, polyps are removed and tested. If the polyp is pre-cancerous, you’ve already done the right thing because removing the polyps can prevent colon cancer! Many people are reluctant to have a colonoscopy because they hear stories about the preparation. This involves drinking a solution to clean out your bowels. Since my mother had polyps, I’ve already had a colonoscopy and can tell you that the process can actually make you feel as clean as the day you were born. You will be lightly sedated for the colonoscopy itself so you won’t feel anything or even be aware of what’s happening. Commonly people will wake up after the procedure and say it was the best nap they have ever had. It will take about an hour to come out of the sedation and you will need someone to drive you home. If your colonoscopy is normal your next screening will likely be in 10 years. If a pre-cancerous polyp is found and removed, the frequency increases to every three to five years. By having a colonoscopy, you have taken a proactive step towards avoiding complications from one of the leading types of cancer.

The Pacific ocean, larger than all the earths conti- nents combined, was a maritime highway for ancestral Polynesians who utilized the heavens as a map. They sailed double hulled voyaging canoes stocked with supplies, plants and animals over thousands of miles of open ocean. Navigators relied on their extensive knowledge of astronomy, winds, ocean swells, cloud formations, reflections, winged and marine animals to safely guide them to their destinations. This ancestral knowledge and techniques made the exploration and settlement of the far flung islands and archipelagos of the Pacific ocean possible.
