“You can complain but the best thing do it yourself. And if people can jump on board and help us provide for ourself and be self-sustaining than that’s what we going do. And that’s what you seeing right here is us self-sustaining our beach. With our own community with our own people with our own equipment.” (Photo taken from the video, “Makaha Beach Restored ‘In-house,'” KHON 2.14.11)
“Being that we live with it, we take care of it. It’s called in-house we do things in-house.” (Photo taken from the video, “Makaha Beach Restored ‘In-house,'” KHON 2.14.11)
“‘If it weren’t for the help of the companies and the many volunteers, Hawaii would be in danger of losing one of the most famous beaches in the world,’ says Sen. Maile Shimabukuro, who helped organize the restoration project. ‘It is critical that we got the work done immediately since the winter surf season is in full swing. . . . We need to come up with a long-term solution which addresses the erosion problem on an annual basis,’ says Shimabukuro” (Ron Mizutani, “Makaha Beach Has Sand Again,” MidWeek 23 Feb. 2011). “Sen. Maile Shimabukuro (D, Nanakuli-Makua) obtained approval for the erosion control project from the state Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands” (Rosemarie Bernardo, “Communirty Helps Restore Eroded Makaha Beach Sand,” Star-Advertiser, 15 Feb. 2011).

See links below to find the following rules for the state’s homeless shelters on the Leeward Coast:
— HAR 17-2029 and 17-2030: shelter eviction and appeals processes
— House Rules for Kahikolu Ohana Hale ‘O Wai`anae, Ulu Ke Kukui, Onelau’ena, and Pai’olu Kai’aulu
A key component of these rules, detailed in the HAR’s, is that shelter residents are entitled to 3 stages of appeal when facing eviction:
1) hearing before someone other than the person who made the decision to evict, or a subordinate of that person;
2) hearing before the HI Public Housing Authority;
3) appeal to Circuit Court

Lifeguard credited with daring rescue of man sucked off cliff by big wave
FROM THE HONOLULU STAR ADVERTISER
By Rob Shikina
Honolulu lifeguard Brian Higa is described by some as a low-key guy who deflects talk about himself but takes his job seriously, sometimes jumping off a cliff at Yokohama Bay as rescue practice.
Higa, a lifeguard for about 18 years, reacted quickly in a daring rescue Tuesday of a 19-year-old Canadian man sucked off a cliff by a 10-foot wave.
Lifeguard Acting Lt. Hall Danon said he’s been a lifeguard for 23 years and has seen stunning rescues during winter swells at Waimea Bay, but believes Higa’s rescue ranks near the top of those he’s witnessed under human strength alone.

Aloha Family & Friends,
Many of you know that I am passionate about business development – big AND small. Some of you may even know that I am a huge advocate and supporter of home based businesses because it is one of the best ways for people to take a hobby they love into an opportunity to make money. And others of you may even know that I myself, along with my family, have been and continue to be direct, network and innovative marketers – and we love it!
In no other industry is there the kind of opportunities for people to make a lot of money with smaller investments of money. But, we have to be wise in what we choose to pursue. So, with that being said I would like to let you all know that in the upcoming months I will be starting up CashFlow 101 games on the Wai’anae Coast once again, along with other fun, exciting and edifying games that really teach us skills and principles to better our current economic situations, no matter where we are right now! Yayyyy, we are so excited about this! Continue reading →
