FHWA and the State of Hawai'i Department of Transportation (HDOT) would like to inform SHPD that they are working cooperatively with the County of Kaua'i to advance the Project. Section 106 of 36 CFR 800.2( c)( 4) allows federal agencies to authorize an applicant or group of applicants to initiate consultation with the SHPO and other consulting parties, including Native Hawaiian Organizations. In order to accomplish the Project, FHWA is delegating Section I 06 Consultation ( 106) activities to the HDOT; HDOT is in turn allowing the coordination of I 06 activities to be administered by the County of Kaua'i. This letter is to formally advise you that the County of Kaua'i is acting on our behalf regarding the Project. The FHWA remains responsible for all findings and determinations charged to the agency in the review process. In accordance with our agreements with HDOT, all official letters to SHPD and stakeholders shall be transmitted under HDOT letterhead; and all determinations regarding historical impacts will be transmitted under FHWA letterhead. Please contact me at (808)541-2304 if you have any questions. hn D. Nickelson, P.E.

SUBJECT: NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT SECTION 106 CONSULTATION LYDGATE PARK TO KAPAA BIKE/PEDESTRIAN PATH, PHASESC&D FEDERAL-AID PROJECT NO. CMAQ- 0700(49) The County ofKauai, Depmiment of Public Works is proceeding with environmental review for a bike and pedestrian path in Waipouli, Kauai, from Papaloa Road (north ofKauai Sands Hotel) to Waipouli Beach Resmi on the north side of Uhelekawawa Canal, a distance of 6,100 to 6,500 feet, depending on the final alignment. The County will oVvn and operate the bike/pedestrian path and will provide a portion of the project's funding. Because the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) will also fund a pmiion of the path, the project is a federal undertaking requiring compliance with Section 106 ofthe National Historic Preservation Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Depmiment of Transpmiation Act. This letter initiates the Section 106 consultation process. Detailed project information is provided in the enclosed suppmiing document. In addition to the path project itself, we are proposing a cultural resources (archaeological) inventory survey of the undertaking's area of potential effect (APE). This survey would assist in identifying historic properties and detennining potentially adverse effects. Your response to this letter- to aclmowledge interest in participating in this undertaking as a consulting party, provide conm1ents on the proposed project APE and any historic properties in the APE, and suggest additional key contacts- would be greatly appreciated. Please respond by March 30, 2012. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Clnistine Yamasaki at 692-7572 or Holly Yamauchi at 692-7574, Design Section, Design Branch, Highways Division, and reference HWY-DD 2.0804 as noted above. Enclosure c: County ofKauai (Doug Haigh) FHWA (Joh.n Nickelson) Lydgate Park-Kapaa Bike/Pedestrian Path, Waipouli Connection (Phases C&D) Supporting Documentation for Section 106 Consultation Project Background and Purpose In 2007, the Kaua'i Department of Public Works (DPW) completed an environmental assessment (EA) for a bike/pedestrian path from Lydgate Park to Kapa'a (Lihi Park) and made a finding of no significant impact. The preferred aligmnent identified in the original EA included a section located mauka of Kuhio Highway and along the Waipouli drainage canal, shown as Phase E in Figure 1. The EA was followed by more detailed design studies which determined that crossing Kuhio Highway and the temporary bypass road would not be optimal for path users. Because the bike/pedestrian path will extend as far north as Coconut Marketplace (via the Papaloa Road spur) and as far south as Uhelekawawa Canal, the County reexamined options to connect these two points. The most feasible option was a makai route that had been proposed and studied in the Draft Environmental Assessment for the original path project-to locate the path within portions of the County's existing beach reserve. The purpose of this supplemental enviromnental assessment (SEA) is to reevaluate the "makai alternative." Referred to as Phases C and D or the "Waipouli connection," this section of the bike/pedestrian path will measure approximately 6,100 to 6,500 feet, depending on the final alignment. The project's primary objectives are to provide a safe and inviting facility that will expand opportunities for non-motorized travel and recreation; provide connectivity to shopping, dining, and resort areas; and lateral coastal access. Project Description and Location Consistent with the overall facility, the bike/pedestrian path will be 10 to 12 feet wide and allow movement in both directions. It is intended to accommodate a wide variety of users; however, motorized vehicles will not be allowed with the exception of motorized wheelchairs, emergency vehicles, and maintenance vehicles. The path will be constructed from concrete with graded shoulders. Under some environmental conditions, the path's design and construction materials may vary to address issues of context sensitivity. No new parking areas will be provided; however, the project may include rehabilitation of an existing County parking area located behind Kapa'a Missionary Church. A small comfort station may be included within Phases C and D, but a location has not been determined. One stream crossing will be needed at Uhelekawawa Canal, but the crossing will not require work in the water. Because the path will traverse developed areas, it may be necessary to relocate and/or replace existing facilities or plant life-actions that are covered in the project description. Other construction and design elements include grading, walls, railings, fencing, landscaping, signage, and amenities, such as trash receptacles, benches, water fountains, and shielded security lighting. The decision to incorporate specific features will be made during final design. Sec 106 Supporting Document January 23, 2012 Lydgate Park-Kapaa Bike/Pedestrian Path, Waipouli Connection (Phases C&D) Figure 2 shows the project location. The SEA will focus on a preferred alternative that extends from Papaloa Road, bet\veen Kauai Sands Hotel and Islander on the Beach, then north through the County's beach reserve and along the coastal bench makai of three undeveloped parcels and Courtyard Kauai at Coconut Beach. The prefe1Ted alternative continues benveen Mokihana ofKaua'i/Bull Shed Restaurant and the Village Manor condominiums, then along the southern bank ofUbelekawawa Canal (currently a landscaped strip) to Kuhio Highway. The path will cross Uhelekawawa Canal as a cantilevered attachment to the existing highway bridge or an independent single-span bridge, where it will connect to the existing bike path at Waipouli Beach Resort. On the northern end of the Waipouli connection, the SEA will also assess the use of an existing beach access located south of Kapa'a Missionary Church and the right-of-way adjacent to and makai ofKuhio Highway bet\veen the beach access and Uhelekawawa Canal (approximately 580 feet). Project Area and Land Jurisdiction The Waipouli connection passes through portions of three ahupua 'a: South Olohena, North Olohena, and Waipouli. The Waipouli coastal stretch today is largely composed of resort (hotel, condominium, timeshare) and commercial properties, including the Kauai Sands Hotel, Islander on the Beach, Kauai Coast Resort, Courtyard Kauai, Mokihana ofKauai, Village Manor condominiums, and Waipouli Beach Resort. The Coconut Marketplace shopping complex is on the south end, and the Waipouli Town Center and Kauai Village Shopping Center are just mauka of Kuhio Highway on the north end. Three large, coastal properties are undeveloped, but they are zoned for resort development and have obtained Special Management Area (SMA) pennits for resort-oriented development. In addition to the larger properties, there is a cluster of smaller parcels located south of Uhelekawawa Canal consisting of residences, small businesses along the highway, and the Kapa' a Missionary Church. From the Papaloa Road "start" point, the County has an easement located bet\veen Kauai Sands and Islander on the Beach.

  • Nearly 20 Years Since Hurricane Iniki
    Nearly 20 Years Since Hurricane Iniki by Steven Businger and Tom Schroeder [email protected], [email protected] Professors of Meteorology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa On September 11, 1992 hurricane Iniki scored a direct hit on the island of Kauai. Over a period of only three hours, the category-3 hurricane caused damage equivalent to the total general fund budget of the state of Hawaii at that time and wiped out the historical profits of the Hawaii homeowners insurance industry. Economic impacts were felt even a decade after the event. As the 20th anniversary of Iniki nears (2012) it is appropriate that we take stock of where Hawaii stands. We are fortunate in Hawaii that our island chain presents a small target for relatively rare central Pacific hurricanes. Although Kauai has been impacted by three hurricanes since the mid-1950s (Dot in 1959, Iwa in 1982, and the category- 3 Iniki on this day in 1992), it has been over a century since a major hurricane has struck the Island of Hawaii and Maui. On August 9, 1871 a major hurricane struck both the Island of Hawaii and Maui, leaving tornado-like destruction in its wake. This event was well documented in the many newspapers of the time, which allowed us to determine that the hurricane was at least a category-3 storm. There is much the public can do to mitigate the damage in advance of hurricanes (hurricane clips to keep the roof from blowing off, and storm shutters to protect windows, etc.). Insurance risk models begin projecting property losses as winds hit 40 mph.

  • Thursday 19Th February 1942 by Dennis J Weatherall JP TM AFAITT(L) LSM – Volunteer Researcher
    OCCASIONAL PAPER 74 Call the Hands Issue No. 39 March 2020 World War 2 Arrived on the Australian Mainland: Thursday 19th February 1942 By Dennis J Weatherall JP TM AFAITT(L) LSM – Volunteer Researcher Dennis Weatherall attended the recent 78th Anniversary of the Bombing of Darwin, also known as the “Battle of Darwin”, by Japanese Imperial Forces on Thursday 19th February 1942. The air raid siren sounded at exactly 09:58 - war had arrived in Australia. He asks why more Australians don’t know about the continuous attacks that started on that day and continued until 12th November 1943 - some 21 months. In this paper Dennis provides and overview of the attacks and naval losses in more detail. Darwin, has changed much since my last visit some 38 years ago and it is dramatically different to the Darwin of 1942 which bore the brunt of the first ever attack by a foreign power on Australian soil. Why didn’t we know they were coming? Was our intelligence so bad or were we too complacent in 1942? The Government of the day had anticipated the Japanese would push south but “when” was the big question. Evacuations of civilians had already started by February 1942. On the morning of the fateful day there were many ships, both Naval and Merchant men, in the Port of Darwin along with a QANTAS flying boat “Camilla” and three Consolidated PBY Catalina flying boats of the USN, when 188 Japanese aircraft of various types, 36 Zero fighters, 71 dive bombers and 81 medium attack bombers commenced their first raid.

  • A Taxonomic Revision of the Endemic Hawaiian Lysimachia (Primulaceae) Including Three New Species!
    Pacific Science (1997), vol. 51, no. 3: 254-287 © 1997 by University of Hawai'i Press. All rights reserved A Taxonomic Revision of the Endemic Hawaiian Lysimachia (Primulaceae) Including Three New Species! KENDRICK L. MARR AND BRUCE A. BOHM2 ABSTRACT: A taxonomic revision of the endemic Lysimachia of the Hawaiian Islands was undertaken with the goal of clarifying species boundaries, especially within the L. hillebrandii/L. remyi complex of the previous taxonomic treatment. The endemic species appear to be monophyletic with Malesian affinities. The revision presented here is based upon observations of morphological characters. Sixteen species are recognized, of which three are probably extinct. Most species have narrow ecological preferences and are endemic to a single island. Species differ from each other most notably in the size, shape, and venation of the leaves; the size, shape, and pigmentation of the calyx and corolla lobes; and the presence or absence of viscid stems and leaves. Populations previously classified within L. hillebrandii or L. remyi differ in a number of characters not previously evaluated including vestiture, leaf color and venation, pedicel position and color, and calyx shape and color. Three new species, L. iniki, L. pendens, and L. scopulensis, are described. A key to species, species descriptions, and distribution maps are provided. Lysimachia, ONE OF the largest genera of the sented by the indigenous coastal Lysimachia Primulaceae, consists of approximately 180 spe­ mauritiana Lam. and subgen. Lysimachiopsis cies of upright or sprawling perennial or annual (Heller) Hand.-Mazz., which consists of species herbs, shrubs, or subshrubs. Southwest China, endemic to the Hawaiian Islands.

Trish Bater 080207052 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the custom of white people blacking their faces and its continuation at a time when society is increasingly aware of accusations of racism. To provide a context, an overview of the long history of black people in England is offered, and issues about black stereotypes, including how ‘blackness’ has been perceived and represented, are considered. The historical use of blackface in England in various situations, including entertainment, social disorder, and tradition, is described in some detail. It is found that nowadays the practice has largely been rejected, but continues in folk activities, notably in some dance styles and in the performance of traditional (folk) drama. Research conducted through participant observation, interview, case study, and examination of web-based resources, drawing on my long familiarity with the folk world, found that participants overwhelmingly believe that blackface is a part of the tradition they are following and is connected to its past use as a disguise. However, although all are aware of the sensitivity of the subject, some performers are fiercely defensive of blackface, while others now question its application and amend their ‘disguise’ in different ways.

  • Hurricane Iniki Make a Plan Now in September 1992 (Photo: FEMA) Below: Plywood Spears a Palm Tree During Hurricane Andrew in Know Your Hazards August 1992
    President’s Message Summer is just around the corner. Kauai is expecting an increase of visitors over 2014. What that means is Nihilani will also experience an increase in vacation renters. Our goal, as well for Owners who operate vacation rentals, is for those visitors to enjoy their trip to Paradise. One of the key objectives for Nihilani is to prevent problems before they occur. In order to achieve that objective, the Board has directed our Site Managers to be proactive with visitors. When the Site Manager(s) are at work and they see people they do not know, they will go over to them and introduce themselves. The Manager will ask if they have had a chance to read the “Short List” of rules. If they do not have a copy, the Manager will provide one. They will point out to them the key rules which visitors often violate. The Managers will also tell the visitor(s), if they have any questions to please contact them. This approach will ensure that the first (and hopefully the last) contact with the Site Manager is a positive one. What the Board expects Owners, who rent their units out for vacation rentals, is to make sure each renter gets a copy of the “Short List” of rules and ask each renter to read them before they arrive. The Board also expects that you to work with your property manager to ensure they are not telling the renters anything that conflicts with the rules. As you know, we have had problems with property managers telling renters they can park anywhere.
