Ka‘ū Chamber Awards Scholarships to Writers Every year, the annual Ka‘ū Chamber of Commerce Essay Competition awards scholarships through income from this publication, The Ka‘ū Directory. This year’s First Place winner is Kayla Andrade, of Nā‘ālehu, who graduated from Kamehameha Schools and attends University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Second place went to Annie Mae Flores, also of Nā‘ālehu. She graduated from Ka‘ū High School and is attending Kapi‘olani College on O‘ahu. Additional scholarships were awarded to Layla Abellera, Melani Bautista, Kasey Camba, Johngilbert Gorali, Jadelyn Kekoa, Rochelle Koi, Kiana Pascubillo, Tiare-Lee Shibuya, Mahealani Taganas and Tyler Navarro-Villa. Scholarship deadline is March 1, 2013. Here are two of the winning essays. Taking Care of Business: Ka‘ü Style by Kayla Andrade Our world is changing, advancing, becoming more in sync with technology and the most beneficial thing to do is to change with it. Over the years, Ka‘ū has gone through many changes and it seems as if our community has adapted to it, but it’s important to use these changes to our advantage. Even though Ka‘ū is very secluded, it’s sometimes hard for families to make ends meet because of such a demanding economy. I believe that supporting local businesses plays an immense role in our society that fuels the wellbeing of common families that survive off their family owned businesses. These local businesses that are passed down to each generation help perpetuate the different aspects of culture, language, and history in order to attain sustainability if and when the barge stops sailing to Hawai‘i. Without our state’s main export system, only those who are culturally connected and aware of their handy resources will survive. Opening new businesses such as hotels is very controversial here in Ka‘ū because it is one of the few places that hasn’t been influenced by big business and is known to be very rural. I am well aware of the push for preserving Ka‘ū ‘s natural beauty and cultural sites that hold value and history, but tourists will be coming in and out of Ka‘ū to experience its beauty whether we like it or not. Therefore, I want to be a type of facilitator to these newcomers and teach them to be culturally sensitive. If these people who come here are willing to learn about the culture and the history, then it’s only sensible to teach them correctly. This approach serves as a type of preservation as they carry on what they have learned and also share it with others. At the same Scholarship Essay, cont. on pg. 36 KauChamber.org Directory 2013 Ka‘u Chamber of Commerce Business & Community Resource Guide The The Directory 2013 3 Business & Community Resource Guide from the Ka‘ü Chamber of Commerce The Directory is published annually by the Ka‘ū Chamber of Commerce to promote progress and business development in all of Ka‘ū. P.O. Box 6710, Ocean View, HI 96737, Voice Mail: 939-8449, www.kauchamber.org From the President Aloha and welcome to the 2013 Ka‘ū Directory. Ka‘ū has survived another year, and is still not defeated. Ka‘ū was never conquered, and even this year was not enough to do it. Through earthquakes, tsunamis, drought, continuing recession, and vog we are still unbowed. Businesses in Ka‘ū are still here, and we even have some new ones. Ka‘ū Coffee keeps winning medals and friends all over the world. After more than 50 years, Ocean View has a fresh water supply, albeit in a limited and restrictive sort of way. New families are moving in, and new homes are being built. Since we live in the most beautiful place on earth, that makes good sense. It is the mission of the Ka‘ū Chamber of Commerce to make life even better in this part of paradise. Our Art Show honors and showcases our artists, and our Ken Wicks Memorial Scholarships help our young people to go away to be educated, learning professions and skills to bring back to Ka‘ū. We will continue to try to make it easier for businesses to do business in Ka‘ū. And speaking of business, our only income is the Ka‘ū Directory. We are continually trying to make it better and an even greater bargain for our members and advertisers. We are getting closer and closer to our desired distribution date of Jan. 1 each year. In order to do that, membership dues and ad fees need to be in on time, preferably the first of October, 2013, for the 2014 edition. Our pledge to you is that we will continue to try to make life and business better in Ka‘ū. And we also pledge to give everything we possibly can to our students, that their lives and educations may be the best possible, and that life for all in Ka‘ū may be even better. Yours, for an even greater Ka‘ū future, Dallas Decker, President, Ka‘ū Chamber of Commerce 930-4697 Table of Contents Chamber

Though I am not exact on what I want to pursue, I believe that going into business would aide me in trying to improve our society. The business field is such a versatile and relatable academy because all types of occupations somehow involve business. Living in this ever-advancing era, we need to play to their strengths instead of fighting the system. For example, I know many successful local businesses that not only benefit themselves, but also their own culture that they practice on a daily basis. Being from such a small town, perseverance is key because it is easy to just settle with what you’ve got when there are so much more opportunities available. If I am fortunate enough to get this scholarship, I will invest it toward a Degree in Business Management at University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa whose business program is ranked in the top 25. Eventually, I would like to return to Ka‘ū and use my knowledge to help start up other businesses and encourage existing local businesses in our community. I am so blessed to have been raised in Ka‘ū’s close knit community. When we develop a well-oiled system that suffices everyone, there won’t be any worry about making it in this world. Then we will be able to focus on the more comforting aspects of being a community. The initial goal is to change with the world, but hold on to our roots and maintain a stable foundation. Ka‘ü? Where’s That? by Annie Mae Flores Ka‘ū? Where’s that!?” I remember hearing those words when I went to a conference meeting in O‘ahu. When others asked me where I was from, I told them that I was from Ka‘ū. It was surprising to hear that they didn‘t know where Ka‘ū was, or that it was even located on Hawai‘i. Not everyone is familiar with the towns located here because of how small the place is. Ka‘ū doesn’t have much when it comes to things such as shops, marts, etc. Jobs are scarce and businesses keep closing down because customers are scarce. The closest Wal-Mart here is seventy miles away forcing people to drive in and out of town to get groceries and such. I have always wanted to give back to my community and help out with things that we are lacking like, for example, more jobs. I want to help my community get more local businesses running so that people will get the chance to work for their own money and also so that people won’t have to deal with driving back and forth just to get food to feed their families. Not only is the drive a grueling task, but because of the constant Scholarship Essay, cont. on pg. 54 Punalu‘u Ahupua‘a is an iconic landmark of Ka‘ū.

Another thing that I would also like to help my community with is to make programs for young adults to keep busy and be able to go to an afterschool program. Schools here have after school programs but only for younger kids. Teens have the option to join an extracurricular activity like sports. But not everyone is an athlete or is good in sports. Besides athletics, there isn’t really anything else to keep young adults occupied which leads them to doing things they shouldn’t be doing like drugs or alcohol. If kids were to stay busy, these things wouldn’t be as big of a problem. A year ago, I joined a program called the Summer Youth Program that enabled young adults to work after school. Although it was only for three short months, the students enjoyed working and getting their own money and stayed out of trouble. In the future, I hope to set up a program like that; a program that will give teens the chance to make something of their selves and to learn how to be mature, young individuals. I know it’ll be difficult, but for the sake of the future generation of Ka‘ū, I am willing to do all that I can to achieve this dream. To make a difference, you need to first start with a good education. I hope that I will be granted the Ka‘ū Chamber of Commerce Ken Wicks Memorial Scholarship to make that difference.

KauChamber.org Photo by www.kaunewsbriefs.blogspot.com/The Ka‘ū Calendar Ka‘ū Chamber of Commerce Sponsors Ka‘ū Scenic Byway Ka‘ū Scenic Byway is an initiative of the Ka‘ū Chamber of Commerce with guidance from the Hawai‘i Department of Transportation. In 2010, the Chamber established a committee chaired by Marge Elwell, and its efforts were rewarded in 2011 with the designation of a Hawai‘i State Scenic Byway. The western slopes of Mauna Loa, from Manukā State Park to Kahuku Unit of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, feature a forest reserve and broad vistas with sweeping views of the ocean and mountain. This section passes over relatively new lava so the traveler can experience transitions from substantially untouched to well vegetated volcanic terrain and rain forest. The southern slopes from Kahuku to the county park at Honu‘apo Bay include the green segment that winds into Wai‘ōhinu Valley then down toward the ocean, with a panorama that may extend to a distant view of Kīlauea Volcano. The eastern slopes cover the area from Honu‘apo to the main entrance to Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park and offer long, sweeping, green views toward Mauna Loa’s summit as well as the spectacular and unusual Ninole Hills. The road rises from sea level to over 4,000 feet and is partly within the boundary of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Ka‘ū Scenic Byway offers by far the longest stretches of unspoiled natural scenery to be found anywhere in the inhabited Hawaiian Islands. A local committee is working on the project to develop interpretive signage, Web-based information on Ka‘ū and other aspects of the way Ka‘ū is presented to travelers along the main thoroughfare through the district. Also providing support is U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration. The theme chosen for the byway through Ka‘ū is The Slopes of Mauna Loa. With community volunteers coordinated through Ka‘ū Chamber of Commerce, planners are helping residents come up with a Community Management Plan. Planning documents say the plans are “sensitive to local needs, qualities, culture, institutions and opportunities and unique to each byway.” It can recommend capital improvements, investments and More than 1,000 acres have been preserved along the Ka‘ū Coast from Honu‘apo Pi KauChamber.org Ka‘u Chamber of Commerce Business & Community Resource Guide The Directory 2013 67 Cloud Rest, with its misty summit, is home to Ka‘ū's much awarded coffees.

It can define how funding and other assistance should be used to “protect, maintain and enhance the intrinsic qualities of the scenic byway and to promote appropriate highway design, roadway management and maintenance, land use and economic benefits within the corridor.” Professional planners and community volunteers are making an inventory along Hwy 11 of qualities and characteristics that the community wants to document. These could include historic features, archaeological sites, dilapidated structures, meandering alignment of the roadway, junk, graffiti and litter, panoramic views and places of interest having to do with wildlife. Information gathered about sites along the highway could be put into an online data- ier extending to Punalu‘u. Ka‘ū has the longest uninhabited coastline in Hawai‘i.

Photo by Jay Robinson, National Park Service Inouye: ‘Very Vigilant in Setting Aside That Which Must Be Protected’ Sen. Daniel Inouye ended a career of representing Hawai‘i for more than 50 years in Washington, D.C. when he succumbed to a respiratory illness on Dec. 17, 2012 at the age of 88. The senator’s last visit to Ka‘ū was on Aug. 29, 2012, when he helped to roll out circulation of a new U.S. quarter depicting Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Inouye was a good friend to the National Park Service, particularly in Ka‘ū, said HVNP Superintendent Cindy Orlando. Inouye helped to secure funding for the 117,000-acre new Kahuku Unit of the National Park, with its entry along Hwy 11 between South Point Road and Ocean View. He also championed efforts to preserve the Ka‘ū Coast. During the Kahuku dedication ceremony, he said, “As the urban sprawl continues to spread beyond O‘ahu and into our Neighbor Islands, I think all of us will agree that we must be very vigilant in setting aside that which must be protected.” Inouye became the thirty-first person in history and first dignitary since Pres. Gerald Ford to lie in state in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol where Congress and the public bid a final aloha to the man who was the U.S. Senate’s second-longest serving member. As President of the Senate Pro Tempore, Inouye was third in line for the U.S. Presidency, in the absence of Pres. Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Speaker of the House John Boehner. Speaking in the Rotunda, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said, “Dan Inouye was an institution, and he deserves to spend at least another day in this beautiful building in which he dedicated his life to represent the 50th state from the first day Hawai‘i was admitted into the union.” A memorial service was also conducted in the National Cathedral. Inouye lay in state at the Hawai‘i’s State Capitol and was honored with a military service at the National Cemetery The Hawai‘i Volcanoes coin was designed by Charles of the Pacific at Punchbowl on O‘ahu. A service was also held at the Civic Center in Hilo. Vickers. Vice President Joe Biden said Inouye lived his life showing “physical and moral courage,” noting his heroic efforts in World War II when he lost an arm fighting with the famed 442nd Regiment, comprised of Japanese-Americans. “I never met a man with as much loyalty to his country, to his family, and to his friends,” said Biden, noting that the senator lacked cynicism even though he suffered “the sting of prejudice” and from his injuries. Gov. Neil Abercrombie appointed 40-year-old Brian Schatz to Inouye's vaNew Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park quarters on a cant seat on Dec. 26, and Schatz left for Washington, D.C. with Pres. ceremonial imu platter.
