It was an offer to buy their property with no inspections.<br /><br />"He's gotten a couple of those," Burke says. "Fighting against speculators and large developers coming in is nothing new for us, but we've never had it where it's been this important to our very being as this community."<br /><br />Burke and her family are among hundreds in Lahaina who are navigating the long and arduous process of rebuilding. More than seven months after the wildfire that took 101 lives, hundreds of properties are still covered in piles of debris.<br /><br />Some fire survivors have moved into rental properties outside Lahaina. Others are finding new jobs or schools elsewhere on Maui or in the continental U.S. Many Lahaina residents worry that developers will buy up properties as they become available, changing the makeup of a community that was once the historic capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom.<br /><br />"If we have enough of that happening, the village we grew up in is not going to be the village that we want to raise our kids in," Burke says. "This community is so important to who we are.”<br /><br />Now, some community members are working on a way to buy properties so they can remain affordable and available to local residents. It's a nonprofit community land trust, modeled after ones used around the country for affordable housing. Land trusts purchase properties and then sell or rent the houses. When the homes are for purchase, the trust keeps ownership of the land they're built on, so the overall sale price is less than comparable homes.<br /><br />Community land trusts have emerged in a handful of other places recovering from disasters, like Houston and the Florida Keys after both places were hit by hurricanes. The challenge is mobilizing financial resources in time to purchase properties in the crucial years post-disaster when properties go up for sale.<br /><br />"The number of units destroyed that are housing people affordably always outnumbers the amount that you rebuild," says Steve Kirk, president of Rural Communities, an affordable housing nonprofit affiliated with the Florida Keys Community Land Trust. "There are individuals and corporations with strike capital that can step into that void and acquire that land.”<br /><br />Life is still in upheaval for Burke and her family. For months after the fire, her family of four kids and four dogs lived in two hotel rooms. Recently, they moved into a longer-term rental north of Lahaina. Her kids go to a Hawaiian language immersion school right next to the burn zone, so all four are doing distance learning by computer from home.<br /><br />They're still grappling with memories from the day of the fire. As the smoke approached their house, Burke loaded the kids into the car. But the traffic was at a standstill in the rush to evacuate Lahaina. They watched as the flames kept getting closer.<br /><br />"I was telling the kids: if mommy opens the door, you run straight and you run to the ocean," she says. "I will never forget that feeling because I didn't know if it was ok."<br /><br />Their house was destroyed. The burned debris is still awaiting removal, like hundreds of other properties in Lahaina. But Burke's family is already navigating the rebuilding process. Burke says they received a dollar estimate for what their insurance company will pay them, but they're not sure if it will be enough to cover the cost of rebuilding, with contractors in such high demand.<br /><br />"Of course in August, everyone was like: yeah, we're going to rebuild," Burke says. "But now, we're looking at the actual money we have to rebuild and have to make a decision. Do we rebuild? What can we even rebuild? Or do we sell?”<br /><br />She's heard from others from Lahaina going through the same struggle. Some who are older may not be up for the long rebuilding process. Some are underinsured and won't have enough to rebuild what they had. Burke says she's determined to stay, but concern is high that the community she grew up in will be forever altered.<br /><br />Keeping the community together was on Burke's mind when she ran into two people working on a potential way to help: Carolyn Auweloa and Autumn Ness. Having worked on housing policy, Ness and Auweloa were aware of the community land trust model and decided to start one for Lahaina. The goal of land trusts is to keep housing affordable in the long term, since the buyer agrees to sell the home at a restricted price, whenever they choose to sell.<br /><br />Dozens of community land trusts have been established around the country to boost the affordable housing supply. As climate-driven disasters have taken a bigger and bigger toll, land trusts are getting new attention.<br /><br />Ness says the wildfires only increased the already-existing pressure on Maui's housing market. With its stunning ocean views and rich history, Lahaina was a tourism hotspot. Short-term rentals, driven by Airbnb and VRBO, made up 40% of the total housing supply in Lahaina's zip code. And in Maui County more broadly, half of all condominium sales are to out-of-state buyers.<br /><br />"We've seen Lahaina be sold to investors parcel by parcel over the last couple of generations, so it was just like: oh my god, we're super vulnerable," Ness says.<br /><br />The Lahaina Community Land Trust, as they've named it, is still in the early stages and is starting to raise money through donations. Ness says it could do more than just build housing. They could buy some properties that are of cultural value to Native Hawaiians and preserve them for the community. They could buy other properties at risk of being flooded by sea level rise and not build on them at all.<br /><br />"People talk about the land trust as a way to sell in, instead of selling out," Ness says. "If you have to sell – not your fault, no judgment. How can we make sure you have what you need and the land stays in the highest and best interest of the community?"<br /><br />Burke decided to join the effort to develop the land trust, which she says will hopefully lessen the pain for neighbors who choose to leave Lahaina.<br /><br />"We know we can't save every parcel that's gonna come up to be sold," Burke says. "But if we're an option on somebody's table so if they have to walk away, they can do it in good conscience, that's all we're there for."<br />Land trusts are growing after disasters<br /><br />When hurricanes, floods and wildfires destroy housing, the ensuing upheaval can permanently shift the makeup of a community. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, which hit New Orleans in 2005, a third of displaced residents still had not returned after three years, and lower-income residents were the most vulnerable to being displaced. Neighborhoods damaged by flooding were also more likely to experience gentrification.<br /><br />After Hurricane Irma hit the Florida Keys in 2017, the Florida Keys Community Land Trust was established. Like in Lahaina, land values are high there, driven by tourism and restrictions on development.<br /><br />"Vacation rentals command so much money that even in the absence of any storm, we are losing service worker housing on a month-to-month basis," says Kirk, who works on the land trust as well as affordable housing around Florida.<br /><br />The trust built 31 affordable units on property that went up for sale after the hurricane. It began with a private donation, but the trust eventually secured a federal grant earmarked for disaster recovery. Kirk says securing funding quickly is key, since many properties are put up for sale within just a few years of a disaster.<br /><br />"Public funding is really a necessity in order to preserve land in the aftermath of a disaster, particularly in an affluent location," Kirk says. "Because in the absence of that, market conditions will cause speculators and others to step into that land and end up serving a completely different income level.”<br /><br />In Lahaina, Burke says organizers aren't sure how many properties the land trust might be able to buy, but they hope to start within the next six months.<br /><br />"I don't think we're at a place where we can't come back and still make this a beautiful, vibrant community," Burke says. "We're gonna need help and we're going to continue to need help for years."</b></span></span><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5685265.post-86416986234497096682024-03-17T14:06:00.002-10:002024-03-17T14:06:59.533-10:00<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">KEEPING THE COUNTRY, COUNTRY ON<span style="font-style: italic;"> “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE"</span></span></span><br />

Geneva...</span></span> <br />For three or four times a year since 2010, I have been attending meetings at the UN in Geneva, and likewise at the UN in New York. The primary purpose for attending these UN meetings is to promote... “Hawaiʻi. our story and our future”... where we have been and where we would like to go. By using the art of diplomacy (talking story and making friends), we have broken down the lies the US had spread about Hawaiʻi being a US “state” (as evidenced by numerous stories in UN and European publications), and we have succeed in developing sympathy and support for the restoration of Hawaiʻi as a sovereign, independent nation. <br /><br />I am currently at the massive UN headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland attending the 55th Session of the UN Human Rights Council. This past week I have touched bases with diplomats, UN experts, non-governing organizations (NGOs), the press and other stake-holders in the international human rights arena. Next week I will be on a panel on self-determination sponsored by the Kashmiri independence movement. I will also participate in a press conference with Alaska representatives and Dr. Alfred deZayas on calling for review of UNGA Resolution 1469. <br /><br />Here is the short oral statement I delivered at the Human Rights Council asserting our diplomatic protest to the US illegal occupation of our islands and reiterating our status as a sovereign, independent nation in continuity. <br /><br />Aloha Mr. President:<br />This intervention is a diplomatic protest of the ongoing, systematic violations of human rights in the Hawaiian Islands and how the matter can be peacefully remedied. <br /><br />The United Statesʻ illegal occupation of Hawaii, has caused the people of Hawaii tremendous harm. The tragic fire that destroyed the historic town of Lahaina on August 8, 2023 is a foreboding of where the rest Hawaii is headed should the U.S. maintain its stranglehold on our islands.<br /><br />The U.S. and its settler population has used judicial corruption to dispossess Hawaiians of our lands (as in the current case of Mme Routh Bolomet); robs Hawaiians of our livlihoods, way of life and social structures; creating an environment that is so inhospitable and toxic that more than half of native Hawaiians have fled the islands just to survive. <br /><br />The huge presence of the US military in Hawaii puts Hawaiians in imminent danger of instant nuclear annihilation by enemies of the U.S. But unlike Japan’s sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the next attack on US Military installations in Hawaii will wipe out everything. The people would be gone and the entire island of Oʻahu will look like Lahaina does now. <br /><br />The remedy would begin with the United Nations General Assembly reviewing Resolution 1469 to correct its error, and ending its complicity in the occupation of Hawaii by the U.S.</b></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><b> </b></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><b>“Love of country is deep-seated in the breast of every Hawaiian, whatever his station.” — Queen Liliʻuokalani<br />----------<br />Ua mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono.

<a href="https://www.science.org/content/article/nsf-board-approves-funding-just-one-two-proposed-giant-telescopes" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><i><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><b>Science.org - February 28, 2024</b></span></i></span></span></a></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>U.S. astronomers will have to make do with one giant ground-based
telescope rather than the desired two, the National Science Board (NSB)
announced yesterday.</b></span></span></p><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>
</b></span></span><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Meeting last week, the panel of scientists that oversees the National
Science Foundation (NSF) capped the budget of the U.S. Extremely Large
Telescope Program (US-ELTP) at $1.6 billion, enough for a substantial
share in one 30-meter class telescope. But US-ELTP represents the
interests of two such projects—the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) in
Chile and the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) in Hawaii—which are building
components but not fully funded. The board has given NSF until May <a href="https://www.nsf.gov/nsb/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=309171&org=NSB&from=news">to come up with a process to choose the lucky winner</a>....</b></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>So in 2018 the two projects joined forces as US-ELTP and made a joint
offer to NSF: a share in both telescopes that would give U.S.
astronomers two complementary giant instruments covering both
hemispheres, something that <a href="https://www.science.org/content/article/giant-european-telescope-rises-u-s-rivals-await-rescue?adobe_mc=MCMID%3D20479093901522543021685579119425460680%7CMCORGID%3D242B6472541199F70A4C98A6%2540AdobeOrg%7CTS%3D1709118990">Europe’s Extremely Large Telescope, rapidly taking shape in Chile</a>, could not do.</b></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>NSF carried out preliminary design reviews on both projects, which the
agency approved in early 2023, but the estimated costs continued to
balloon. Each telescope now has a price tag approaching $3 billion,
which would make just one of them the costliest project NSF had ever
undertaken. In an editorial in <cite>Science</cite> in November 2023, Turner argued that <a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adm9964">insisting that NSF fund two telescopes put both projects at risk</a>.</b></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>At its meeting on 22 February, NSB acknowledged the ambition and
vision of the US-ELTP proposal but noted it would take up 80% of NSF’s
funding for major projects. As NSB could not condone starving other
fields, it set the $1.6 billion cap and tasked NSF with setting out a
plan for choosing a telescope and its subsequent timeline by the board’s
next meeting in May.</b></span></span></p><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>

They say a quick prayer as they drive by. At this point, that’s pretty much all they can do.<br /><br />The couple and three of their kids fled Lahaina on foot as their apartment burned in the August wildfires. They lost everything but the clothes they were wearing — and each other.<br /><br />Since then, like thousands of other West Maui families, they’ve been living in American Red Cross shelters at local hotels, and they’ve been shuffled between facilities seven times as the resorts make space for the slow return of tourists to the island.<br /><br />The plot they now pray over promised stability. The site, vacant land owned by a nearby Christian church, was supposed to host 88 tiny homes, newly constructed to provide two years of rent-free housing for 350 fire survivors. And for months, dozens of the structures have stood on the dusty tract near Maui’s main airport, ready for displaced families to move in.<br /><br />But the project has been tangled in red tape.<br /><br />The saga of this 10-acre development, overseen by a local social services organization called Family Life Center, offers a window into the often-maddening world of building affordable housing on Maui, where a notoriously long permitting process and a thicket of regulations have stalled projects for decades. Even now, after apocalyptic fires made the already dire housing crisis worse, residents and advocates say the same old delays are preventing small houses from solving a big problem.<br /><br />“Man, if we had this, it would be perfect,” Nesi, who was born and raised in Lahaina, said of the Family Life Center project. “The frustrating part is not knowing who to go to. Where’s the answer?”<br /><br />More than six months after the fires, some 4,700 people are still living in hotels and desperate for more permanent housing. And after 3,000 structures burned, housing options are more limited than ever and prices are at an all-time high. Experts disagree on just how large a role tiny homes can play in alleviating the crunch, but they say that in an unprecedented emergency like this, the island must pursue every means possible to get residents housed.<br /><br />“If you have a large family, there’s simply no housing that’s anywhere near affordable,” said Justin Tyndall, a professor at the University of Hawaii’s Economic Research Organization. “These problems existed before the fire but are now being highlighted even more. It’s an existential crisis for Maui. Many people have already left and will continue to leave.”<br /><br />In the weeks following the fires, as the totality of Lahaina’s devastation set in, the prospect of inexpensive housing that could be quickly constructed gave many people hope.<br /><br />Nationwide, the market for these structures has boomed in recent years. Offerings range from a traditional tiny house, which is typically under 400 square feet and could be mounted on a trailer, to more substantial accessory dwelling units (ADUs), sometimes called “ohanas” in Hawaii, and larger modular homes that top 1,000 square feet.<br /><br />Right away, nonprofits and neighbors began planning for hundreds of units, in clustered developments and backyards.<br /><br />“The need for housing was huge,” said James Bruggeman, who owns the Maui firm AAA Tiny Homes. “And those of us who live on the island knew that tiny homes were the only solution that could be provided in a timely manner.”<br /><br />But reality soon set in.<br /><br />In Maui County, tiny homes fall into a legal gray area, housing advocates said. Like other dwellings, they are subject to restrictive local zoning laws and legendarily long permitting waits. On top of that, most are prefabricated, a type of structure the state has long opposed in deference to the powerful local construction industry.<br /><br />Kamie Davis, a Maui-based consultant who advises tiny-home developments, said she’s working on four properties that would together bring more than 500 units online, but they’ve each faced delays at the county, which she blames for failing to establish a specific tiny-home policy.<br /><br />“If we would have done what we could have done from the very get-go, we would have at least 3,000 homes on the ground today, and we don’t,” Davis said. “We have maybe a couple hundred. It’s nothing compared to where we should be right now because they choked, they didn’t move forward.”<br /><br />While officials have offered few details about tiny houses, the county has taken steps to encourage ADU construction and streamline the building process for wildfire survivors by hiring staff to focus on expedited permitting. And local leaders have earmarked $8 million to buy 50 interim dwellings for displaced families.<br /><br />The state also signaled that prefab homes would have to be a part of the island’s recovery, and Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen said he’s talking with the federal government about building up to 1,000 prefab modular houses.<br /><br />“Through our different partners, we’re trying to expand the inventory,” he said in a recent local TV interview. “That’s really the key.”<br /><br />Yuki Lei Sugimura, Maui County Council’s vice chair and a supporter of tiny-home projects, said these new steps are encouraging.<br /><br />“I believe that government probably did not have all the resources, or understand all the things we needed to do” immediately after the fire, Sugimura said. “But we have a better understanding now.”<br /><br />Still, time is running out to avoid two major “housing cliffs,” said Matt Jachowski, the director of data, technology and innovation at the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement. Maui currently houses fire survivors in two primary ways: the hotel shelters and a program that pays premium rates to secure long-term leases at short-term vacation rentals.<br /><br />If not extended, the hotel program will end in April. Funding for the vacation rentals, which comes largely from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, will be phased out over the next two years.<br /><br />“The only way we’ll have any place for these people to go is if we have these ADUs built,” Jachowski said. “We’re going to need to build a lot of new ones — like thousands of new ones.”<br /><br />One additional obstacle to construction is the question of what happens to the homes after the current crisis ends. Some funders have been unwilling to invest in projects that may only be allowed for a few years, while development-wary community members worry that emergency subdivisions could eventually be replaced by luxury homes, which would only exacerbate the affordability crisis.<br /><br />Officials have stressed that many of the units would be temporary, and advocates say the county could address those concerns through careful legislation.<br /><br />“You have to do something now to house people and figure out the knock-on effects once you’ve solved the core problem,” Jachowski said.<br /><br />Tyndall, the economist, is skeptical that tiny homes and ADUs alone can solve the problem, but he said they should be part of the county’s long-term strategy, alongside larger multifamily housing developments.<br /><br />“There’s no reason not to work to expand ADUs,” he said. “But in terms of the overall quantity of housing that gets built, that’s going to be only one part of the solution. It should be an ‘all of the above’ approach.”<br /><br />The Family Life Center development, located on the grounds of a former sugar cane field in the central Maui town of Kahului, was the first high-profile project underway after the fire.<br /><br />It received international attention, but soon after the spotlight faded, the project became a poster child for postponement. The first units arrived on the island within weeks of the August fire, and the center hoped families would be able to move in by October.<br /><br /><br />“We felt like, since this is an emergency, the process would be fairly easy,” said Maude Cumming, Family Life Center’s CEO. “But when we asked for direction, it was difficult to get.”<br /><br />Cumming, who has worked in affordable housing for more than two decades, said the project has run into delays at nearly every step, from historic preservation rules to septic system regulations and water pressure requirements for the units’ fire suppression sprinkler system. She wants to comply with all codes, she said, but she’s been frustrated at the pace of approval.<br /><br />“I just thought there would be a different kind of urgency,” Cumming said.<br /><br />The latest hurdle involves an arcane dispute over the project’s water source. An influential real estate company and its business park development controls the closest water line, and Family Life Center said it had rebuffed requests for access.<br /><br />This again delayed the move-in date, Cumming said, because it forced Family Life Center to bore underground to reach another water source. But after The Washington Post began reporting on the back-and-forth, the real estate company, Alexander & Baldwin, contacted Cumming and agreed to help Family Life Center temporarily access the water line, she said.<br /><br />“We fully support the FLC project, and have offered to work with FLC to explore ways to get water to the homes so that they can be made available to the displaced families sooner rather than later,” Alexander & Baldwin spokeswoman Andrea Galvin said in a statement. She added that it is “a complex matter and will require the approval of a number of other parties.”<br /><br />Cumming now hopes fire survivors will be able to move into the tiny homes by the end of the month.<br /><br />Whenever it happens, it will be a moment that Nesi and LJ Va’a have been awaiting since they fled Lahaina the day of the fire. The couple, along with children who range in age from 10 to 16, miss the familiarity of their home, the way it smelled.<br /><br />And in a time of constant change, they miss the routines that brought the family together, like sitting around on Saturday, planning out the week’s meals on a dry erase board.<br /><br />At the Family Life Center development, known as Ohana Hope Village, they’ll have a place of their own, a kitchen, some normalcy. The units are spartan — no more than 500 square feet, metal walls and a spare interior — but the Va’as know firsthand how badly their community needs them.<br /><br />Nesi and LJ have been working as disaster case managers at Family Life Center since late last year, and every day they talk to people like themselves who are anxious about where they’ll live while their town is rebuilt.<br /><br />“People would move in here today if they could,” LJ said. “The 80-plus homes we have could be filled in a half an hour. The need is dire.”<br /><br />When they talk to the long list of fellow fire survivors who have applied for a spot in the tiny-home village, the question they hear is always the same: When can we move in? They’re not sure how to reply, but they’re praying it will be soon.</b></span></span><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5685265.post-17625845506276881152024-02-28T13:59:00.001-10:002024-02-28T13:59:13.885-10:00<p><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-weight: bold;">FREE HAWAI`I TV</span><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> <br />

The secretary of defense ordered the facility shut down after Red Hill fuel contaminated Pearl Harbor residents’ drinking water in 2021. <br /><br />It is now Rear Adm. Marc Williams’ duty to make sure the facility’s decommissioning happens without incident. Williams, the deputy commander of the Navy’s Red Hill Closure Task Force, said in an interview it’s an inherently dangerous job that he takes seriously.<br /><br />“We’re here to do what a lot of people are asking us to do, which is close Red Hill,” he said. “All we can do is go about our business in a transparent way that represents our core values of honor, courage and commitment.”<br /><br />Williams, in charge of the day-to-day work of Red Hill’s closure, reports to Rear Adm. Stephen Barnett, commander of both the closure task force and Navy Region Hawaii. A Navy reservist, Williams is on a three-year assignment at Red Hill that could be extended to up to five years. <br /><br />In that time, he will be responsible for shuttering the World War II-era complex by June 2027. The work will involve cutting large pieces of pipe in an enclosed underground space and manually removing sludge from the bottom of Red Hill’s 250-foot-tall tanks.<br /><br />The facility, located directly above Oahu’s primary drinking water aquifer, also holds toxic firefighting chemicals in its fire suppression system. The Aqueous Film Forming Form, or AFFF, contains toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS that are dangerous to consume and don’t break down in the environment.<br /><br />Williams’ team will be responsible for ensuring none of those chemicals leak, as they did in 2022.<br /><br />Beyond closure activities, Williams will also help explore new ways to use the facility in a beneficial way. To that end, the Navy solicited ideas from residents via a survey, and the Rand Corp. analyzed the possibility of turning Red Hill into a hydropower plant, according to Williams.<br /><br />Reports on those findings will be submitted to Congress this month, he said. A study by the University of Hawaii, funded by the Office of Naval Research, will also examine options for non-fossil fuel uses of the facility.<br /><br />Any future use of Red Hill would undergo environmental impact studies that would be subject to public comment, and converting the facility to some other use would involve work well past 2027, he said. <br /><br />Ultimately, the decision on Red Hill’s future will be made by “policymakers and state of Hawaii officials,” Williams said, noting that whatever is done will require Congressional approval and funding. <br /><br />“Whatever decision is made, the things we’re doing – cleaning the tanks, removing the pipes – have to happen regardless of the final disposition of the facility,” he said.<br /><br />Born and raised in San Diego, Williams is the son of a civil servant who worked in naval aviation. After graduating from high school, Williams attended California Polytechnic State University before transferring to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, where he majored in ocean engineering. <br /><br />“I looked at it as a challenge, an opportunity to be part of something bigger than myself,” he said of joining the military. <br /><br />A licensed civil engineer, Williams served on active duty for more than seven years, with deployments to Albania, Kosovo, Spain and Guam, he said. He then became a reservist, working in the private sector much of the time while juggling Navy jobs and military training. <br /><br />In his civilian life, Williams served as an executive of a health care company called eviCore. <br /><br />Williams, who only recently moved to the islands, had visited Hawaii previously on vacation, but his current assignment is his first time being stationed here.<br /><br />He acknowledged part of his job will be engaging with community members who feel betrayed by the Navy’s actions before, during and after the water was contaminated.<br /><br />“I have a responsibility to be transparent with people and explain why and how we’re doing things, and what we’re doing, recognizing that may lead to dissatisfaction or folks who are not happy that we’re not going fast enough, or just generally still angry towards the Navy,” he said. “Some folks, they may never trust us again.” <br /><br />That sentiment is clear at meetings of the Red Hill Community Representation Initiative, an independent group formed via a voluntary regulatory agreement between the Navy and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. <br /><br />The CRI is made up of environmental advocates and community members, including some former military housing residents who drank fuel-tainted water and continue to suffer health impacts. At monthly meetings, they get to question officials from the Navy, EPA and Hawaii Department of Health. <br /><br />After an acrimonious meeting in December, Navy officials skipped the January meeting. Williams said that wasn’t his call but rather a decision “directed by D.C.” However, Navy leadership returned for the February meeting.<br /><br />“We’re looking at operating procedures to ensure a respectful dialogue,” he said. “How do you have disagreement without hatred?” <br /><br />Marti Townsend, chair of the CRI, said all community advocates are only asking for honesty, and they don’t feel they’ve gotten it. Many of the CRI’s questions have gone unanswered.<br /><br />“They – the beings that make up the U.S. Navy – will be gone,” she said. “None of them are going to live here very long. Their bones aren’t going to be in this soil.”<br /><br />Healani Sonoda-Pale, who represents the Native Hawaiian community on the CRI, said the Navy needs to share more information and also allow for community input.<br /><br />“We cannot go back to when nobody knew what was going on at Red Hill – who was in charge, what was the plan, how much fuel was being held there. Too much is at stake. Too much damage has been done to families,” she said.<br /><br />“Adm. Williams should know he’s stepping into this position, and we are going to hold him accountable. We are going to ask the hard questions and continue to put pressure on them to do the right thing for the community.”</b></span></span><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5685265.post-50182828145726653642024-02-26T12:36:00.002-10:002024-02-26T12:36:38.183-10:00<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;

Future</span></span> <br /><br />One of the regular features on our program, Free Hawaiʻi News on ʻŌlelo TV is a discussion between Kumu Hina Wong and me, called “the Pacific Way”. It’s about looking at topics of concern from a Pacific islander perspective and it’s influence on how we do things and how we live. In contrast is the “Western Way” which has come to dominate the economic, political and social systems around the world. Some call it the legacy of colonialism. A recent United Nations resolution calls it, the negative legacy of colonialism. <br /><br />But now, the colonial system is beginning to implode. Careless, reckless and relentless commercial pursuits of the Western Way has brought the world to the brink of a catastrophic collapse. <br /><br />This is where the Pacific Way comes in. There is a rising awareness that the profound value of ancient knowledge and traditional practices could provide the answers to the grave issues facing the world today. <br /><br />What if we were to apply the “Pacific Way”, or more specifically, “the Hawaiʻi Way”, to issues such as caring for the people (mālama i ka poʻe); for our land (mālama I ka ʻāina), and caring for our ocean (mālama i ke kai); and caring for the planet (mālama honua). It prioritizes food resources, housing, sustainability, relationships, caring for our earth, sky and sea. Pacific islanders have a way of relating to our surroundings that has sustained, nurtured and helped us to thrive on tiny specs of land scattered over a vast ocean covering a third of the globe. <br /><br />For many years the people of Hawaiʻi have been suffering from a severe housing crisis. In the previous Ke Aupuni News we spoke of the diaspora of Hawaiians having to live not only in the U.S., but all over the globe.<br /><br />In a conversation I had with the Kiribati ambassador to the UN a few years ago, he said, what if our goal as leaders is not to just provide a way for people to afford to live, but to provide the conditions to make people happy, and at peace with one another? To thrive and to see life pursuits not as a series of win/lose encounters or even win/win events, but as, happy/happy opportunities. <br /><br />Think about it. By engaging with a “win-lose” or even a “win-win” mindset, the parties operate in a competitive and even adversarial mode. But in working for a happy-happy outcome, the parties operate in a collaborative mode of considering and caring for the welfare of the other party as well as their own. The platform becomes, sharing with aloha.<br /><br />Happily, the conversation in our islands is beginning to shift toward the Pacific/Hawaiʻi Way of thinking… encouraging & supporting local residents to step forward into roles of responsibility of any size, small, medium or large, to let the U.S. occupiers of Hawai`i, especially the real estate developers and government agencies, know that, going forward, decisions must be made from the ground up, and local residents in their local areas must be the ones to decide their own futures. <br /></b></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><b><br />“Love of country is deep-seated in the breast of every Hawaiian, whatever his station.” — Queen Liliʻuokalani<br />----------<br />Ua mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono.
