CHAIR WHITE: .. (gavel). This meeting of the Budget and Finance Committee will come to order. Today we will be reviewing the grants provided through the Office of Economic Development. And just a reminder, Members, that we have a bare quorum, so you may not leave the room without us going into recess. So, with that I'd like to welcome our Council Chair Gladys Baisa. COUNCILMEMBER BAlSA: Good morning, Chair. CHAIR WHITE: Good morning. And, Committee member Stacy Crivello. COUNCILMEMBER CRIVELLO: Good morning, Chair. -2- BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE MINUTES Council of the County of Maui April 17, 2014 CHAIR WHITE: Aloha. Don Couch. COUNCILMEMBER COUCH: Good morning, Chair. CHAIR WHITE: Aloha. And Don Guzman. COUNCILMEMBER GUZMAN: Good morning, Chair. CHAIR WHITE: Good morning. And excused for the day are Members Bob Carroll, Riki Hokama, Mike Victorino. And Elle Cochran will be joining us after an early morning appointment this morning. So, Mr. Hokama and Mr. Victorino are on Oahu today lobbying the House and Senate Conference Committee to lift the cap on the TAT. So we forwarded them some additional numbers this morning to help them with their, with their lobbying. So, we wish them the best of luck in their efforts. We've also mentioned to them that since Oahu is significantly quicker in growing back from the recession with their visitor revenues up about 35 percent over 2007, and the neighbor islands are still flat or down compared to 2007. Additionally, the economies on the neighbor islands are still suffering from a lack of construction work while Oahu is up 30 percent compared to their 10-year average. The Big Island is down 30 percent. Maui is down 34 percent, and I believe Kauai is down about 52 percent. So, hopefully, if they're not wanting to give up a lot of revenue, at the State level, we can convince them to do a little bit more for the neighbor islands than they're doing for Oahu. So, we wish them all sorts of luck. And, Members, we've got a busy agenda today, and then we go to--I believe it's Lihikai, right?--this evening for our Kahului hearing. So, without further delay let's move into public testimony. And we will take five testifiers here and then go to our District Offices. So, our first testifier this morning is Lisa Paulson, and she will be followed by Richard Lucas. ...BEGIN PUBLIC TESTIMONY... MS. PAULSON: Good morning, Chair. CHAIR WHITE: Good morning. MS. PAULSON: Members of the Committee. I'm here to testify on two budget items. So, I will get through.. .1 did some written testimony on both of the line items I'm here to testify for. So, if I don't make it through both, I do request that you look at my written submitted testimony. Thank you. I'm here as the Executive Director of Maui Hotel and Lodging Association. I'm here today also as the Board Co-Chair of the Academy of Hospitality and Tourism, which I'll refer to as AOHT for three high schools here on Maui. It is a part of Maui's Lodging and Tourism's mission to provide workforce development. On behalf of the Maui Hotel and Lodging Association, I ask for your support of the $10,000 funding for the Academy of Hospitality and Tourism Program in the County's Fiscal Year 2015 budget. The Academy of Hospitality and Tourism is a 501(c)(3) organization with approximately 220 -3- BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE MINUTES Council of the County of Maui April 17, 2014 students enrolled from Baldwin, Lahainaluna, and Maui High Schools. The goal of AOHT is to provide exposure to students who would not ordinarily have an introduction to the industry, and to offer exposure to a visitor's point of view. Our main objectives are to provide internships for hands on experience in the workforce, and to provide scholarships to those who wish to continue their education in the visitor industry. Understanding the significance and relevance of Hawaii's host culture; it is one of AOHT's primary objectives to educate students of the need to foster goodwill amongst the industry and the community, to cultivate respect for the host culture, to preserve this special place, and to balance the benefits and challenges of tourism. A lot of these students do go on and have internships and job shadowing, and often hired after proficiency. .proficiently learning the skills that qualify them for regular employment. This valuable employment opportunity allows them a head start on careers within the industry as they pursue their individual careers or more importantly degrees at the post-secondary level. From 1992 to 2007, and Fiscal Year 2011, the AOHT Program received funding support from Maui County's Office of Economic Development. From 2004 through 2008, additional funding was received from Hawaii Tourism Authority, HTA. HTA's funding stopped in 2008, and we have since gone through our funds to support this program. We were advised this year to seek a line item funding from the County for $10,000 a year to ensure the continued success of this program. These funds do go to support our annual student conference that's held at UH Maui College every January. I do know some of you have been able to attend that. It helps to fund school enrichment programs, teacher development, and our annual graduation luncheon. Later today and next week, you will get to hear from some of our students who are passionate about their futures and the opportunities this program provides for them. We strongly believe in the value that the AOHT Program brings to our students and urge you to support our program with this much needed funding. Thank you for allowing me to testify. CHAIR WHITE: Thank you, Ms. Paulson. Members, questions for the testifier? Mr. Couch. COUNCILMEMBER COUCH: Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you, Ms. Paulson, for being here. So, in 2008, HTA stopped your funding? MS. PAULSON: Correct. COUNCILMEMBER COUCH: Did they say why? MS. PAULSON: They funded to the CTE Program. They diverted all the funds to the CTE Program so their funding could go throughout to all the public high schools. COUNCILMEMBER COUCH: Okay. And who advised you to come and ask for a line item here? MS. PAULSON: The Office of Economic Development. COUNCILMEMBER COUCH: Okay. All right. Thank you. -4- BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE MINUTES Council of the County of Maui April 17, 2014 MS. PAULSON: You're welcome. CHAIR WHITE: Any other questions, Members? Seeing none, thank you very much, Ms. Paulson. MS. PAULSON: Thank you. CHAIR WHITE: Mr. Lucas will be followed by Juli Patao. MR. LUCAS: Committee Chair White, Council Chair Baisa, and Members of the County Council, aloha. CHAIR WHITE: Aloha. MR. LUCAS: My name is Richard Lucas. I am the Program Manager for Friends of Old Maui High School at Hamakuapoko. And I'm here today to testify in support of the budget request for the Office of Economic Development. As you know our project involves the preservation, rehabilitation, and reuse of the Old Maui High School campus.

  • The Kamehameha Statue
    The Kamehameha Statue Jacob Adler In the Hawaiian legislature of 1878, Walter Murray Gibson, then a freshman member for Lahaina, Maui, proposed a monument to the centennial of Hawaii's "discovery" by Captain James Cook. Gibson said in part: Kamehameha the Great "was among the first to greet the discoverer Cook on board his ship in 1778 . and this Hawaiian chief's great mind, though [he was] a mere youth then, well appreciated the mighty changes that must follow after the arrival of the white strangers." After reviewing the hundred years since Cook, Gibson went on: And is not this history at which we have glanced worthy of some commemoration? All nations keep their epochs and their eras. ... By commemorating notable periods, nations renew as they review their national life. Some would appreciate a utilitarian monument, such as a prominent light- house; others, a building for instruction or a museum; and I highly appreciate the utilitarian view, yet I am inclined to favor a work of art. And what is the most notable event, and character, apart from discovery, in this century, for Hawaiians to com- memorate? What else but the consolidation of the archipelago by the hero Kamehameha? The warrior chief of Kohala towers far above any other one of his race in all Oceanica. Therefore . lift up your hero before the eyes of the people, not only in story, but in everlasting bronze.1 The legislature appropriated $10,000, and appointed a committee to choose the monument and carry out the work: Walter M. Gibson, chairman; Archibald S.

  • Hawaiian Islands
    THE KANAKA AND THEIR ISLES OF SANDWICH And yet — in fact you need only draw a single thread at any point you choose out of the fabric of life and the run will make a pathway across the whole, and down that wider pathway each of the other threads will become successively visible, one by one. — Heimito von Doderer, DIE DÂIMONEN HDT WHAT? INDEX HAWAIIAN ISLANDS SANDWICH ISLANDS “Sandwich Islanders” in Chapter 1, paragraph 3a of WALDEN: Henry Thoreau referred to the Kanaka under the name currently in use in New England: WALDEN: I would fain say something, not so much concerning the Chinese and Sandwich Islanders as you who read these pages, who are said to live in New England; something about your condition, especially your outward condition or circumstances in this world, in this town, what it is, whether it is necessary that it be as bad as it is, whether it cannot be improved as well as not. I have travelled a good deal in Concord; and every where, in shops, and offices, and fields, the inhabitants have appeared to me to be doing penance in a thousand remarkable ways. What I have heard of Brahmins sitting exposed to four fires and looking in the face of the sun; or hanging suspended, with their heads downward, over flames; or looking at the heavens over their shoulders “until it becomes impossible for them to resume their natural position, while from the twist of the neck nothing but liquids can pass into the stomach;” or dwelling, chained for life, at the foot of a tree; or measuring with their bodies, like caterpillars, the breadth of vast empires; or standing on one leg on the tops of pillars, –even these forms of conscious penance are hardly more incredible and astonishing than the scenes which I daily witness.

  • Father Damien, Hero of the Hawaiian People !
    Father Damien, hero of the Hawaiian people ! Open letter to Mrs. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, US Representative Tremelo, August 20th, 2020 Dear Mrs. Ocasio-Cortez, For many members of our Father Damien family association, Hawaii is a bit like a second home: by participating in our group tours 'In the footsteps of Damien' or through individual visits to Hawaii and to Molokai, and by the local contacts that are maintained there. We are also very much interested in Hawaiian history, for an understanding of the world in which Damien – Kamiano for native Hawaiians – successfully integrated himself. Like many Belgians – fellow countrymen of Damien, who in 2005 elected him as 'Greatest Belgian' for his achievements at the other side of the world – we got a shock when reading in the newspaper that you chose, amongst the 102 statues in the U.S. Capitol’s National Statuary Hall Collection in Washington, the one of our relative Father Damien as a ‘typical example of white colonialism, patriarchy and white supremacist culture'; with the suggestion why in his place doesn’t stand the only and last queen of Hawaii, Lili'uokalani. At the same time, we had a 'déjà vu' feeling: in the years after Damien's death (1889), several attempts were made to criticize his work, deny his achievement and destroy his legacy; mostly by envious colleagues and local superiors with whom Damien had collided by his stubbornness. The very last attack dates back to 130 years ago : it was a letter by a certain Reverend Doctor Hyde addressed to the Bishop of Honolulu, in which he depicted Damien as ‘coarse, dirty, headstrong and bigoted, who had no hand in the reforms and improvements’ and decried the ‘extravagant newspaper laudations as if he was a most saintly philanthropist’.

  • Light Is on 2016 Part 4
    THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE: GREAT AMERICAN CATHOLICS: PART IV NO PROBLEM WITHOUT A SOLUTION, NO PERSON WITHOUT A PURPOSE SAINT DAMIAN DE VEUSTER AND SAINT MARIANNE COPE I. Saint Damian de Veuster exemplified the American spirit of taking on seemingly impossible odds, or overcoming difficulties with dedicated labor and organization, and of finding value in each person. A. Saint Damian was a Sacred Heart priest from Belgium who volunteered for ministry in Hawaii. 1. Born on January 3, 1840 , the seventh child (4th son) of Johannes and Catherine de Veuster in Tremelo in the Flemish part of Belgium. Two of his sisters would become nuns and a brother would become a priest. 2. Because of the humble circumstances, his schooling ended when he was 13 and he began working on the farm. His parents in fact anticipated that he would take over the farm one day. 3. At the age of 20, he entered seminary for the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Mary and Jesus, after his brother Augustine, who took the name Pamphili. Joseph took the name Damian after St. Damian, a physician who with his brother Cosmos, were doctors in ancient Rome who served the poor and were eventually martyred for the faith. 4. Both Damian and his brother Pamphili wanted to be missionaries. Pamphili initially volunteered to go to Hawaii, but was unable to do so for health reasons. And so, Damian volunteered to minister in Hawaii. And, in 1884, he was sent to Hawaii, where he was ordained a priest in that same year.
