  • Testimony BOE
    Testimony BOE From: Jus & Cher <[email protected]> on behalf of Jus & Cher Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2020 2:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Shortage differentials I have been a special education teacher for the past 8 years in Hawaii. Over the course of the 8 years, I have spent money out of my own pocket due to small budgets. As everyone knows, this state has a very hard time securing and retaining quality teachers due to the high cost of living and inadequate pay. We have many teachers in special education positions who are not able to plan their own lessons or write IEPs for their students. This leaves the qualified special education teachers to pick up the slack. When schools closed in March, we were thrown into unchartered waters. I worked many hours to make sure my students and their families were okay and had access to the curriculum. Each student has his/her own set of goals and objectives so a lot of planning has to go into each and every student. I spent close to 12 hours a day working while I had my own two little boys here struggling with their online learning. Now that we are being told to social distance due to COVID, I found out that I am sharing a room with 2 other adults while on campus, one of whom will have access to many students throughout the school day. This increases the risk of getting COVID and the chance of spreading COVID increases as well. We are currently short a special education teacher so I’m being given a heavy workload this school year.

  • Authentic Hawaii Will Enable Us to Explore Hawaii’S Big Island with a Stay at the Private Home of the Dewars, Founders of China Advocates
    A U T HJanuaryE N T9 -I 14,C 2018H A W A I I Dear Washington & Lee Alumni, Hawaii is much more than beaches. It’s gardens and waterfalls and rainforests and volcanoes; it’s island history and native traditions, architecture and astronomy, rare flora and fauna, small towns and museums, home cooking and walks along the bay. Here is a travel adventure designed to help us feel more like new residents who have been given a rare opportunity to know Hawaii beyond its fabled shorelines and surf. Authentic Hawaii will enable us to explore Hawaii’s Big Island with a stay at the private home of the Dewars, founders of China Advocates. This grand home, known as the Thomas Guard House, is located in the community of Reed’s Island, where the Hawaiian royals once resided. Torch Ginger, Hawaiian Tropical Botanical Gardens Visiting Hilo’s historic downtown is a proverbial step back in time. Here we’ll explore muse ums, shops, galleries, and restaurants, and mingle with Hilo’s friendly and diverse residents. We’ll take daily excursions to experience the area’s many natural wonders, including Kīlauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, Earth’s most massive volcano. We’ll also visit research centers and organizations working to advance scientific understanding and preserve the rich heritage of th e area. Leading our trip will be W&L professor of geology Sea Turtle and associate provost Elizabeth Knapp, whose special interest in Hawaiian volcanology will serve our scientific curiosity well. This insider’s exploration of the Big Island is perfectly timed to help you escape the winter doldrums.

    UC Berkeley Survey Reports, Survey of California and Other Indian Languages Title The Plank Canoe of Southern California: Not a Polynesian Import, but a Local Innovation Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1977t6ww Author Meroz, Yoram Publication Date 2013 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The Plank Canoe of Southern California: Not a Polynesian Import, but a Local Innovation YORAM MEROZ By nearly a millennium ago, Polynesians had settled most of the habitable islands of the eastern Pacific, as far east as Easter Island and as far north as Hawai‘i, after journeys of thousands of kilometers across open water. It is reasonable to ask whether Polynesian voyagers traveled thousands of kilometers more and reached the Americas. Despite much research and speculation over the past two centuries, evidence of contact between Polynesia and the Americas is scant. At present, it is generally accepted that Polynesians did reach South America, largely on the basis of the presence of the sweet potato, an American cultivar, in prehistoric East Polynesia. More such evidence would be significant and exciting; however, no other argument for such contact is currently free of uncertainty or controversy.1 In a separate debate, archaeologists and ethnologists have been disputing the rise of the unusually complex society of the Chumash of Southern California. Chumash social complexity was closely associated with the development of the plank-built canoe (Hudson et al. 1978), a unique technological and cultural complex, whose origins remain obscure (Gamble 2002). In a recent series of papers, Terry Jones and Kathryn Klar present what they claim is linguistic, archaeological, and ethnographical evidence for prehistoric contact from Polynesia to the Americas (Jones and Klar 2005, Klar and Jones 2005).

Lanikaula Street Hilo, HI 96720 June 2010 Bus Stop Location Project for County of Hawaii Mass Transit Agency Inventory and Initial Screening Report Introduction County of Hawaii Mass Transit Agency Bus Stop Location Project Inventory and Initial Screening Report I. Introduction The County of Hawaii Mass Transit Agency (MTA) currently operates on a flagstop basis. With increased usage and traffic, MTA is moving into a designated bus stop program. SSFM International, Inc. (SSFM) was contracted to identify locations for bus stops islandwide and to determine if locations warrant an official bus stop listed in the Hawaii County Code. Official bus stops will need to be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. This Inventory and Initial Screening Report constitutes the deliverable for Task One of the work program for this study. Based on field work conducted and meetings held with bus drivers, SSFM developed a complete inventory of bus stops islandwide. The inventory, consisting of approximately 575 stops, was then divided into priority and non-priority stops for the remainder of the work tasks in this study. Priority stops, totaling approximately 100 stops, were recommended based on surrounding land use, frequency, and local knowledge. The list of priority stops is shown in (Appendix 1). These stops handle the bulk of the ridership and are in close vicinity to schools, resorts, medical facilities, and urban centers.
