Waikoloa Breeze WAIKOLOA VILLAGE ASSOCIATION AUGUST 2008 WAIKOLOA BREEZE Waikoloa Village Association, PO Box 383910 Waikoloa, HI 96738 www.waikoloa.org . 808-883-9422 Office/808-883-9246 Fax INDEPENDENCE SPIRIT OF 1776 Waikoloa resident Ed Vasquez, who provided the flag shown in this photograph, writes: “The beautiful, large flag flown on the 4 th of July at Waikoloa Village Golf course has special meaning. The five- by nine-foot flag was hoisted and flown on the USS RONALD REAGAN AIRCRAFT CARRIER CVN 76 while in port at North Island Coronado, California. A bronze bust of Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan sculptured by Ed Vasquez was presented on April 4, 2005 to Commanding officer Captain James Symonds. The Captain stated: “It’s not every day that an artist comes forward to share his work with the men and women aboard this ship…” The artwork is displayed in the newly renovated Western Motif in the Chief Petty Officer’s Mess Hall. Also presented was a large canvas photograph of Ronald Reagan’s retreat Ranch, “Rancho Del Cielo,” near Santa Barbara, California. In honor of the occasion, Ed’s personal flag was hoisted aboard the Nuclear Aircraft Carrier for remembrance.” A Piece of History The Mexican-style spur pictured at right dates back to some time between 1833 and 1875. The spur includes a 5”, 8-point rowel, a heel chain that is c. 19 cm in length, and both heel buttons c. 13.8mm x 12.8mm. It is probably related to ranching activities carried out by Paniolo herding cattle in the area. The First Aid Packet is a Carlisle style military first aid kit, and is unopened. This individual First Aid Packet was carried by a soldier in a canvas pouch attached to his web belt. It contained a white gauze Carlisle-pattern dressing. The Carlisle bandage was impregnated with sulfa, and was large enough to handle almost any wound. All soldiers in World War II carried one. This particular Packet may be associated with the U.S. Marine Corps training exercises conducted in the area. Both artifacts were discovered by crews from American Technologies, Inc. during ordnance removal activities undertaken in the Former Waikoloa Maneuver Area. Ordnance clearance activities were conducted under the auspices of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Following their collection, the artifacts were cleaned, photographed and documented by archaeologists from Pacific Legacy, Inc. These artifacts are being returned to the land owner in accordance with Hawaii State statutes. They will be available to view at the CDP Team Meeting on August 8 in the Waikoloa Elementary School cafeteria, where Archaeologist Rowland Reeve from Pacific Legacy is one of the scheduled speakers.

The following Skate Park update was provided: The Skate Park Committee of the Waikoloa Community Development Corp. has made major strides in progress to bring a skateboard park to Waikoloa to fill the need for family recreational activities, especially our youth. We are excited to report that, after many public meetings that allowed for community input, the County of Hawaii’s Department of Parks & Recreation has made a portion of the Ho`oko Street Park practice field available for the skate park. Ho`oko Street Park is located past the elementary school, in the north makai corner of the park (makai of the pavilion). Another major step occurred last week when a contract was signed for the design of the Skate Park. Now we can move forward with our fundraising. We need the help of adults, parents and youth community members so that we can have a fun and safe environment for our keiki and adults (yes, parents skateboard, too!). You can help by offering your skills in fundraising, publicity, email blasts, and newsletters - we now need to raise the funds so that we can build the park that is being designed. To volunteer, please contact [email protected] , or call Chris at 938-6622. Mayoral Candidates Forum 1pm Sunday, August 10 If you missed the Mayoral Candidates Forum in Waikoloa on July 24, you still have an opportunity to listen to and ask questions of the candidates. On Sunday, August 10, hear the candidates address West Hawaii issues. The forum, which begins at 1pm, will be held at the Mac Nut Factory at Kawaihae Industrial area off Akoni Pule Highway. For more information, contact Mike Price at 883-2918. Page 2 of 8 WAIKOLOA VILLAGE ASSOCIATION AUGUST 2008 Preparedness and Response to Electricity Emergencies John Young, member of the Waikoloa CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), provided the following summary based on information from HELCO. Electricity is a modern convenience that we all take for granted, but few of us know what to do when electricity threatens life and limb in emergency situations. The most basic principle to remember is that electricity always tries to reach the ground and flows through conductors, including water, trees, damp ground, metal and people. In emergency situations, do not allow your body to become a conductor. Lightning storms—stay away from trees, keep yourself dry, go indoors, stay away from windows, and unplug your television, computer and other electronic appliances. Downed power lines—assume they are energized and spreading an electrical charge in a pool along the ground; don’t touch the lines or guard rails in contact with the lines under any circumstances, and stay a safe distance away (at least 30 feet and better, up to one block). In moving away, keep your legs together and shuffle with both feet attached to the ground. Running may bring an electrical shock. To avoid becoming a victim yourself, don’t try to rescue someone in contact with a fallen line. Warn others to stay away and call 911. Electrical fires—keep a multi-purpose, type “ABC” fire extinguisher in your home in plain view, near an escape route and away from potential fire hazards such as kitchen appliances. Read the instructions on how to use and care for the fire extinguisher. In case of fire, make sure everyone leaves the house and someone calls the fire department. If the fire is localized at one appliance or outlet, shut off the power to your home either by opening your main breaker (usually located near the electric meter), or by shutting off circuit breakers in your electrical panel. Never use water on an electrical fire, because the electricity could carry back to you and produce a deadly shock. Instead, use your multi-purpose fire extinguisher to put out the fire. Then, have professional firefighters check to be sure the fire is not still smoldering out of sight. Water damage from storms or flooding—if you can do it without standing in water, turn off power at your home as described above; if appliances are wet, unplug them and let them dry out. Before resuming their use, have a licensed electrician inspect and perform tests on your electrical system and appliances. Repair or replace electrical devices, wiring and appliances as recommended. Note: The CERT team has been trying to find funding for supplies to make their group viable. If you know of any sources of funding, they are eager to hear from you. Please contact April Lee at 883-0409. Pictured above from Left to Right are: M.

The Order is dedicated to: insuring that America will always be preeminent in air and space—the encourage- ment of flight safety—fostering an esprit de corps in the military air forces—promoting the adoption of military service as a career—and aiding deserving young individuals in specialized higher education through the establishment of scholarships. THE DAEDALIAN FOUNDATION was incorporated in 1959 as a non-profit organization to carry on activities in furtherance of the ideals and purposes of the Order. The Foundation publishes the Daedalus Flyer and sponsors the Daedalian Scholarship Program. The Foundation is a GuideStar Exchange member.
