Board of Water Supply (BWS): Duke Chung circulated a newsletter reported the following: Main Breaks: There were no main breaks for the month of February 2017. General Water Announcements o Rain Water Recapture and Reuse – The BWS is partnering with the City Department of Facility Maintenance (DFM) – Storm Water Quality Branch in an effort to encourage water conservation with rain water recapture and reuse. Oahu’s storm drains are separate from the sewer system and are specifically designed to handle rain water run-off to prevent flooding in developed areas. By reducing the amount of water that enters storm drains, methods such as a rain barrel catchment system, rain gardens, and xeriscaping can reduce the negative effects on streams and beaches when rain water picks up debris and pollutants from the ground. The BWS estimates the average home uses 50 percent of their water outdoors. By installing a rain barrel catchment system at your home, you are helping the BWS to preserve Oahu’s water resources and encourage water conservation. A rain barrel catchment system allows you to capture rain water for use with outdoor, non-drinking water activities, such as non-edible plant irrigation. The BWS encourages its use because it reduces the amount of drinking water used for non-drinking purposes. For information about rain barrel catchment systems, visit www.boardofwatersuply.com/conservation, and for more information about reducing storm water run-off, visit www.cleanwaterhonolulu.com. o Halawa Xeriscape Garden Workshops – The BWS and Friends of Halawa Xeriscape Garden continue to offer workshops that highlight the concept of xeriscaping – an innovative means of conserving water through efficient landscaping. These workshops offer creative ideas to help you maintain a water efficient and attractive landscape while reducing your outdoor water use and reliance on harmful chemical pesticides. A full list of xeriscape workshops is available at www.boardofwatersupply.com. Upcoming workshops: . March 3, 2017: Magnificent Neem Follow Ups: Chung noted that Waipio Acres is a part of the BWS Mililani Waipio Neighborhood Board No. 25 report. Chung added that he distributed an article regarding fluoride legislation and stated that BWS does not support or oppose the addition of fluoride to water. PUBLIC FORUM Troop Reductions Study Final Findings: Christine Kline reported the following: Final Findings: The purpose of the study was to gauge the impacts of the troop reduction on retail sales, housing, schools, employment, services, facilities, and effects on small businesses. Models were used with the addition of surveys to gauge the impacts on the community. The final report is available at http://bit.ly/CCH_CCIAA. Partners in Care for the Hale o Maluhia (HoM) Project: Phil Acosta of Alea Bridge reported the following: HoM Project and Point in Time Count: Acosta explained his affiliation with the unfunded all volunteer nonprofit agency Alea Bridge which was created in January 2016 and is an organization that is focused on community outreach. Alea Bridge will serve as a bridge between those in need of services and the service providers. Alea Bridge organized the yearly mandated United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Point in Time (PIT) count for region five (5) which will be occurred in the week of Monday, January 23, 2017, through Friday, January 27, 2017 and analyzed the state of homelessness throughout the island and rest of the State. The data will be used by HUD and the State to address the regions accordingly. The data gathered from the PIT count will help the community recognize the next steps needed to address homelessness in the area. Region five (5) covers from Kipapa Gulch out to Kaena Point then across the North Shore to Turtle Bay. Acosta thanked area legislators and the community for contributions and help as a total of 1026 man-hours were needed to conduct the study. Acosta noted that the homeless count for region five (5) has totaled 383 unsheltered that were surveyed but added that all numbers are preliminary as the numbers are expected to change. Acosta further noted that over the next couple weeks the data will be clarified and submitted to federal partners who will allocate funds to address homelessness. In March 2017 the official count will be released. Alea Bridge will be taking ownership of the homeless issues and solutions in region five (5) noting that the stats will justify the need for a facility to be able to provide services for Region five (5). Acosta reported that a grant in aide (GIA) application has been filed for the Wahiwa HoM project Oahu’s Neighborhood Board system – Established 1973 MILILANI/WAIPIO/MELEMANU NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD NO. 25 WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2017 DRAFT-REGULARMEETINGMINUTES PAGE3OF8 which is asking for aide in the creation of a Resource and Navigation Center for the homeless and at risk population in the area. This center will be providing temporary housing, intensive care, employment assistance, and other support services. The site is projected to have 20 beds, hygiene and laundry facilities, and storage areas to aide in the rapid transition of the homeless to permanent housing. The center should be running by the end of 2018 if the GIA process is approved. Acosta concluded that this center will help reverse the trend of the growing population of homeless in the area using intensive outreach and the creation of a navigation center.

  • February 9, 2018 Mr. Laurence Schott, Senior Director Government
    HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STATE OF HAWAII STATE CAPITOL HONOLULU, HAWAII 96813 February 9, 2018 Mr. Laurence Schott, Senior Director Government Affairs, West Region Charter Communications 10450 Pacific Center CT San Diego, California 92121 Dear Mr. Schott: RE: OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED PUBLIC, EDUCATION, AND GOVERNMENT (PEG) CHANNEL LOCATION CHANGES ‘Ōlelo Community Media, O‘ahu’s non-profit PEG access provider, has been serving our communities for nearly 30 years. Like all other PEGs in the state, ‘Ōlelo is committed to the principles of hyper local programming and freedom of speech. The channel numbers used by all of our PEGs have been established for 20-plus years. People know exactly where to find them. But Spectrum’s forced channel relocation will abruptly change this, causing severe channel confusion that will begin in neighborhoods across O‘ahu, and spread throughout the state. Charter Communications/Spectrum’s decision to relocate Public, Education, and Government (PEG) channels on O‘ahu is not in the best interest of our citizens and is not in the best interest of serving cable subscribers in Hawai‘i. Spectrum’s forced ‘Ōlelo channel change will pave the way for forced channel changes to all other PEGs in the State of Hawai‘i - Nā Leo on Hawai‘i County, Akakū on Maui County, and Ho‘ike on Kaua‘i County. The hyper local programming ‘Ōlelo provides includes City Council meetings, legislative hearings and sessions, community town halls, non-profit programs, and local stories produced by community media makers. In fact, ‘Ōlelo provides the only local channel on O‘ahu dedicated to government programs, an essential tool for ensuring government transparency.

  • Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance In
    Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Skyler Allyn Korgel ANS 678H Departmental Honors in Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin May 2018 Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Department of Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Dr. Patricia Maclachlan Department of Government Second Reader Abstract “Ho’omalimali” and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Author: Skyler Korgel Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Second Reader: Dr. Patricia Maclachlan This thesis seeks to discover the underlying causes and factors for the unique political situation in Hawai'i where a minority demographic has been historically dominant. In researching historical and political contexts, as well as institutional and electoral factors, analysis of all these findings has shown a constructed “succession model” behind the dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA) through the Democratic Party. The thesis also examines the implications of the disrupted and further divisive political climate of the Hawai'i Democratic Party since the death of universally respected and revered Senator Daniel Inouye (1924-2012). Senator Inouye’s death brought to an end a political career that spanned nearly six decades, and commenced a new era for Hawai'i political leadership. Quite possibly, this new era has also fractured the succession model. In a 75% minority state, throughout the past 65 years, Americans of Japanese ancestry have managed to gain a stranglehold over the Hawai'i Democratic Party, and therefore the Hawai’i state government itself.

  • Legislative Recap
    2018 LEGISLATIVE RECAP 2 Hawai‘i Public Health Institute 2018 Legislative Recap UNITED BY THE SPIRIT OF aloha Hawai‘i has been hit hard by several disasters this year including a false ballistic missile alert that sent residents and visitors into a panic. Then, in April and May, back-to-back events caused widespread damage and displacement from flash flooding in Kaua‘i and East Honolulu and from the lava outbreaks on the Big Island. Although many are facing tremendous emotional and financial challenges as a result of these events, one thing is evident: our island state continues to be united by the spirit of aloha. At the Hawai‘i Public Health Institute, we are driven by our mission to improve the quality of life for the people of Hawai‘i. Inspired by the tireless commitment of our advocates and partners, we will continue to fight for solutions that advance health and health equity in our state. Much of that fight happens at the state legislature. While news outlets focused their attention on a few big and sometimes controversial issues, our 2018 Legislative Recap shines the light on a number of major health and health-related issues that you may not have heard about. We hope you find this piece informative and that it inspires you to be an engaged, active participant in the legislative process. 2018 alohaLegislative Recap Hawai‘i Public Health Institute 3 NATIONAL & LOCAL HEALTH LANDSCAPE Less than two months after passage of President Trump’s signature tax cut bill that largely benefits the wealthiest Americans, the president proposed a 2019 budget that cuts basic resources which help millions of struggling families obtain health care, put food on the table, and assist with rent.
