As the eight hand-selected ALL-PRO players from around the world landed on the Waimanalo Polo Field by way of HAWAII POLO LIFE helicopters courtesy of Makani Kai for the historic 2017 “Kahala Hotel & Resort Hawaii Invitational of Polo, Presented by Cartier,” there was a huge sense of excitement and anticipation across the lush land of the Honolulu Polo Club. The coveted field, sponsored by Hawaiian Airlines World Elite MasterCard, nestled below the towering Ko'olau mountain range with stunning Tesla's glimmering in the countryside sunlight. Both teams, KEA and ELE'ELE, appeared perfectly prepared and balanced with a game that promised a mixture of flair upfront being consolidated by big hitting game winners at the back. The much-anticipated historic ALL-PRO match led with a Hawaiian cultural opening ceremony featuring 2 Hula Halau Ka Lehua Tuahine led by Kumu Hula Kailihiwa Vaughn; Leiala Cook Pau Riders accompanied by a performance of Pomaikai Lyman who also sang Hawaii Pono'i (composed by His Majesty King David Kalakaua in 1876 honoring King Kamehameha I, founder of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1810), and the National Anthem led by powerhouse singer Tioni Sam Sing.

  • March 9, 2021 Hawai'i State Capitol Building 415 South
    March 9March 30,, 2021 2021 Hawai’i State Capitol Building 415 South Beretania St. Honolulu, HI 96813 Dear Committee Members: This past June 47 states across the country celebrated Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, which commemorates June 19, 1865 - the end of African American enslavement in the United States. Sadly, Hawai’i was not one of them. While communities across the island chain independently honor this historic day by participating in marches and rallies, Hawai’i remains just 1 of 3 states that does not designate Juneteenth as a state holiday. We implore the Hawai’i State Legislature to join the rest of the country by passing SB 939, legislation that will finally recognize this monumental day as a Day of Remembrance. Municipalities across Hawaii have already passed resolutions that mark Juneteenth as a local day of remembrance, including the City of Honolulu whose city council unanimously passed a resolution to make Juneteenth “an annual day of honor and reflection”. “I think it’s important that we recognize Juneteenth as a time to reflect on the contributions of the black community in Hawaiʻi, their unique experiences in our nation, and the ways we can engage with our friends, family, and the broader community to dismantle systemic racism,” said Honolulu Councilmember Tommy Waters. (KHON2, 6/18/20) Hawai’i has a proud history of being on the forefront of racial and social justice. As early as 1852 the Kingdom of Hawai’i wrote into law that “Slavery shall, under no circumstances whatsoever, be tolerated in the Hawaiian Islands; whenever a slave shall enter Hawaiian territory he shall be free, no person who imports a slave or slaves, into the King’s dominions shall ever enjoy any civil or political rights.” Today many of our citizens are direct descendants of former slaves.

    Volume X, No. 51 Waikīkī Improvement Association December 17-23, 2009 Waikīkī Wiki Wiki Wire DLNR Beach Project Waikīkī Beach Restoration Project State of Hawai‘i Department of Land & Natural Resources Waikīkī Beach will have 24,000 cubic yards of sand pumped from deposits 2,000 feet offshore by the State’s latest beach replenishment project. The additional sand will be enough to add 40 feet of beach in the area fronting the Royal Hawaiian, Outrigger Waikīkī, Moana Surfrider and Kūhiō Beach Park to the Kūhiō Beach Basins. Currently in the permitting stage, the total program is projected to cost $2 - $3 million dollars. The State of Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) views the plan as a beach maintenance program. The intention is to restore the beach to the 1982 width. The permit would also allow two subsequent efforts within five to seven years where the sand pumping would have to be repeated. This entire area of Waikiki Beach was originally man-made and requires periodic sand refill and maintenance. continued Inside this issue: Na Leo celebrates 25th anniversary at Hale Koa Luau Aqua employees wrap up their 2009 Lokahi Giving 3 8 Gardens, December 20, 22, 23 campaign Royal Hawaiian Center launches first Gift Card just in Holiday activities abound at Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel 8 time for the holidays 3 Wishes come true for four children 9 Hau Tree Lanai special Christmas Dinner 4 New Year’s Eve Celebrations at Star of Honolulu, Moana Ciao Mein and Colony Restaurant present holiday dinners 4-5 Surfrider, Sheraton Waikiki, Hilton Hawaiian Village 10-14 and Royal Hawaiian Celebrate Christmas with an exceptional dinner at The 5-6 Royal Hawaiian Hau Tree Lanai wins Honolulu Magazine Gold Award 15 Hawai‘i Convention Center recognized again by Hau Tree Lanai New Year’s Eve Dinner 16 7 Business Traveler magazine .

  • Honorable Representative Mark Nakashima House Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs
    DAVID Y. IGE MARK PATTERSON GOVERNOR CHAIR COMMISSIONERS JUDGE MICHAEL A. TOWN (ret.) JUDGE RONALD IBARRA (ret.) TED SAKAI MARTHA TORNEY STATE OF HAWAI’I HAWAI’I CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM OVERSIGHT COMMISSION March 23 , 2021 TO: Honorable Representative Mark Nakashima House Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs. FROM: Mark Patterson, Chair, Hawaii Correctional System Oversight Commission. SUBJECT: SB 1243, SD 2, HD1 – RELATING TO THE PHASEOUT OF PRIVATE CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES POSITION: The Hawaii Correctional System Oversight Commission (HCSOC) supports this measure. This bill would add two new responsibilities to the HCSOC. First, we would be required to develop a comprehensive plan to phase out the use of private correctional institutions by the Department of Public Safety (PSD). Second, we would be required to consult with the PSD on the planning of any new or expanded correctional facility in the State, and provide input and recommendations on any master plan for the facility, for inclusion in any environmental impact statement on the project. Concurrently, this bill would also require that the PSD obtain our approval before constructing any new correctional facility or expanding any existing correctional facility. As you are aware, the HCSOC was created by Act 179 SLH 2019 as a means of providing “independent oversight of the State’s correctional system.” Among other things, Act 179 authorizes the Commission to “[E]stablish maximum inmate population limits for each correctional facility and formulate policies and procedures to prevent the inmate population from exceeding the capacity of each correctional facility;” and “[E]nsure that the comprehensive offender reentry system under Chapter 353H is working properly to provide programs and services that result in the timely release of inmates on parole .
