Country Club Villas and nearby developments, Collins has a one-bar signal when he’s lucky, can’t make calls indoors, misses and drops calls. Before the loss of the tower, it was common to have three or four bars. “Cell service is so taken for granted, a lot of people have gotten rid of their landlines,” Collins said. “It’s an annoyance to me, but it could be life-threatening to others. The thing of it is, you have older people here and it’s a lifeline for them.” By contrast, AT&T seems to function adequately in the area, several residents said. “Major change in service the last few weeks,” said Country Club Villas resident Cliff Ahrens. “You can even be in BY BRET YAGER WEST HAWAII TODAY byager@westhawaiitoday.com the parking lot and miss calls.” Ahrens suggested the placement of the temporary tower-on-wheels may be wrong, that it should be higher mauka. The former tower was on the roof of the hotel, but Kamehameha Schools officials plan a $11.5 million demolition from the top down to make way for a visitor center and education facility on the property, which contains significant cultural and historical sites and artifacts. At Keauhou Punahele, resident Steve Zulawinski recently noticed he couldn’t get data inside his condo. Poolside, his voicemail notification will kick in but the phone doesn’t ring. “I’ve been tempted to call Verizon and see what’s going on,” he said. highest in Hawaii County at 29 percent, followed by Maui with 25 percent and Kauai with 19 percent. Growth will be lowest in Honolulu County, which has a projected growth rate of 8 percent by 2025. The study found SEE HOUSING PAGE 4A SEE PRINCIPAL PAGE 4A Collins said the cellular giant has known for years that the hotel site would become unavailable and should have planned better. But Heidi Flato, a Verizon spokeswoman, said the company has been working to relocate the cell site for some time. “Unfortunately, network coverage and capacity enabled by our cell on wheels are limited due to the location and antenna height,” said Flato from California in an email. “We apologize for the inconvenience our customers may experience. We continue to monitor the performance of our COW and are working to improve service until we secure a location for the new cell site.” $25,000 $13.00 $14.50 $5.00 When Steve Collins was on his cell phone Tuesday talking to a reporter about cell coverage in Keauhou, the call was dropped twice. That’s just how it’s been for Verizon customers in makai areas of Keauhou over the past few weeks, following the decommissioning of a tower on the Keauhou Beach Hotel. Kamehameha Schools officials are planning on demolishing the building, and Verizon has placed a mobile tower across the street. But that weaker, temporary signal has only left surrounding residents frustrated.

Housing demand is calculated based on the number of new TMT protesters More housing needed as growth accelerates arrested BY BRET YAGER WEST HAWAII TODAY byager@westhawaiitoday.com A vice principal with a penchant for outrigger canoe paddling has taken the steersman position at Waimea Middle School. Amy Kendziorski spent two years as vice principal at Waimea, and before that was a teacher at Waianae High School, where her love of paddling began. Now a regular at the Kawaihae Canoe Club, the 25-year veteran of the public school system took over the top post at the public conversion charter school during spring break. She plans to bring the paddler’s ethic of teamwork to the job of overseeing 300 students. Kendziorski said on Thursday she will work to keep Waimea on course with the accreditation the school last Kendziorski received year, boost student achievement, build the school’s financial resources and further parent and community relationships during her appointment as interim principal to last through the next school year. Former Principal Matt Horne left the helm with plans to move with his family off island. He had been at the post for three years. Kendziorski has a master’s degree in educational leadership from San Diego State University. During 13 years in Colorado’s Durango School District, she was in charge of special and alternative education, health, safety and discipline for a 4,500-student district with 11 schools and a juvenile detention school. The interim principal said she is committed to bringing all students equal opportunity to achieve instead of segregating them into different environments based on language or ability. She spent five years as principal at Durango’s Escalante Middle School, where she spearheaded federally mandated “inclusion” practices designed to ensure that all students were learning in equal, integrated environments. “All children deserve high quality education,” she said. “We Can you hear me now?

INAGURAL ISSUE Big Island BY BRET YAGER WEST HAWAII TODAY byager@westhawaiitoday.com A vice principal with a penchant for outrigger canoe paddling has taken the steersman position at Waimea Middle School. Amy Kendziorski spent two years as vice principal at Waimea, and before that was a teacher at Waianae High School, where her love of paddling began. Now a regular at the Kawaihae Canoe Club, the 25-year veteran of the public school system took over the top post at the public conversion charter school during spring break. She plans to bring the paddler’s ethic of teamwork to the job of overseeing 300 students. Kendziorski said on Thursday she will work to keep Waimea on course with the accreditation the school last Kendziorski received year, boost student achievement, build the school’s financial resources and further parent and community relationships during her appointment as interim principal to last through the next school year. Former Principal Matt Horne left the helm with plans to move with his family off island. He had been at the post for three years. Kendziorski has a master’s degree in educational leadership from San Diego State University. During 13 years in Colorado’s Durango School District, she was in charge of special and alternative education, health, safety and discipline for a 4,500-student district with 11 schools and a juvenile detention school. The interim principal said she is committed to bringing all students equal opportunity to achieve instead of segregating them into different environments based on language or ability. She spent five years as principal at Durango’s Escalante Middle School, where she spearheaded federally mandated “inclusion” practices designed to ensure that all students were learning in equal, integrated environments. “All children deserve high quality education,” she said. “We Can you hear me now?

Starting out humbly as an anchor and weatherman on an Indianapolis TV station, Letterman quickly became known for his quirky and unpredictable onair antics — reporting on weather for fictitious towns, congratulating a tropical storm for being upgraded to a hurricane, and reporting that a state border had been wiped out, to name a few.

FSI Specifications: West Hawaii Today uses a 44” web width for all printed products. Insert pallets should be clearly labeled with the product name, total quantity, amount per skid or box, the total amount of skids and the insertion date. Inserts Width: Measured along the spine 2. If inserts are re-packaged, they should be re-packaged in the original form sent by the printer (same number of pallets, same amount on pallet, same number in a bundle, etc.) Minimum Maximum 3” 11” Height: Measured perpendicular to spine Minimum Maximum 4” 10.5” 3. Inserts should be packaged by insert date. If a product is running multiple dates, then it should be separated as such. Pagination: Broadsheet Minimum Maximum 4 pages 96 pages Pagination: Tabloid 4. Inserts need to be at least .005” thick. Thinner sheets will often stick together causing “multiples.” Minimum Maximum 4 Pages 120 Pages Pagination: Single Sheet Minimum .005”* 5. Different inserts should NEVER be packaged on the same pallet. Verifying the count may be extremely difficult without removing all the bundles or boxes. 6. Insert bundles should not be tied (strapped) if possible. Strapping causes the product to curl and can make it difficult to feed into the insert machine. 7. No more than two turns (compensating stacks) per bundle would be optimum. Additional turns make it more difficult for the inserter to feed the machine. 8. Inserts should be stacked flat and not standing on edge. 9. Deadlines a. Insertion orders due 21 business days prior to publication. b. Inserts due 14 business days prior to publication. 10.
