The program has been well received by other community minded garden and plant enthusiasts who come out to volunteer at different times and at different gardens within the valley. NSOC has had a special relationship with Waimea Valley since its inception in 1987 and held its first board and membership meeting under the green tent top meeting area that is now Waimea Pa- vilion. The group held many plant sales side by side with the arboretum over the years as well as hosted an annual Ke Ala Pupukea Bike Path fundraiser for 16 years—The Harvest Moon Dance. The group considers it a privilege to work in the garden once a month among friends old and new who support the 106-year-old Outdoor Circle motto: To help to Keep Hawaii Clean, Green, and Beautiful! You too can volunteer at Waimea Valley by OFF da Island in Dawson becoming a member of NSOC or by contacting Waimea Valley Volunteer Coordinator Melani Spiel- Creek, British Columbia Steve Cook from Waialua is pictured here in Dawson man at [email protected] ALOHA Creek, B.C. where he will start his 2250 mile trek on the famous highway to Anchorage. ◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ The Hale‘iwa Family Dental Center, Ltd. ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ Our office will be closed from October 31 to November 19. ◆ ◆ Please take care nowof any offering problems before that time ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ • Adults and children ◆ ◆ ◆ • Most cases completed in 4-12 months ◆ 66-392 Haleiwa Rd. ◆ ◆ Haleiwa ◆ • Clear braces available ◆ ◆ • Lower cost ◆ Serving Haleiwa since 1984 ◆ ◆ • University tested Bankruptcy ◆ ◆ Personal Injury • Criminal Law ◆ • Used for over 20 years ◆ Landlord/Tenant ◆ ◆ Traffic Offenses • DUI ◆ ◆ ◆ Produced by Todd R.

But my real point to the author of the column is this: The ability to force compliance and severely punish violators, including ordering the demoli- tion of illegally built units, already exists in current ordinance. It requires only that the Department of Planning & Permitting and the Corporation Coun- sel jointly elevate enforcement of these laws to the highest levels. The Council would be largely supportive if these agencies reordered their departmental priorities and personnel to aggressively identify and prosecute these scofflaws in our neighborhoods. In my estimation, if the City Administration came forward with some truly robust proposals of its own, it would find an audience at the Honolulu City Council.

  • Community Guide to Hawai'i Land Conservation
    Community Guide to Hawaiʻi Land Conservation “He aliʻi ka ʻāina; he kauwā ke kanaka.” “The land is a chief; man is its servant.” Mary Kawena Pukui, ʻŌlelo Noʻeau. According to Hawaiian historian Mary Kawena Pukui, “Land has no need for man, but man needs the land and works it for a livelihood.” Introduction / Preface Community members often ask Hawaiian Islands Land Trust, The Trust for Public Land’s Hawaiʻi Program, and other land trusts how they can work with land trusts to save particular lands of natural and cultural significance. This guide is intended to help those community members, and applies to land that: 1) is privately- owned, 2) has significant natural, cultural, or agricultural resources, and 3) is threatened with uses that would harm the resources, such as subdivision and development. Protecting a threatened special place can seem daunting or even impossible. Knowing who to call, what to research, and how to ask for assistance can be confusing. The Trust for Public Land and Hawaiian Islands Land Trust share this guide to clarify the voluntary land conservation process and empower communities across Hawaiʻi in protecting privately owned and threatened lands with cultural, agricultural, and/or ecolog- ical significance. Voluntary land conservation – buying land for public agencies or community organizations or restricting land uses on private property with the cooperation of the landowner — has resolved heated land disputes and created win-win-win solutions that benefit private landowners, our environment, community, and future gen- erations. Where land use is contentious, the process of collaboratively working toward the land’s protection often begins a healing process that can build community resiliency and connections.
