Three police vehicles were at the bridge accident, and I passed another which was quickly making its way to the other. There was one area where aggers managed trafc for highway construction. In another ahupuaʻa (land division), drivers were paused in witness to the obviously challenging job of general roadside maintenance underway. And, to keep it interesting, there were also four ʻdare devil’ geared up road cyclists weaving their way along the hairpin turns – where there is no shoulder – in a display of entitled recreationalist pizzazz. Just another day on the ʻRoad to Hāna’.In this issue, we are launching a new Makaʻala (to attend to vigilantly) section for our readers, bringing information to light about the many incidents that happen over a season. We want to focus attention on what our local rst responders, and governmental, business, and the local community’s residents, must endure and prepare for with ongoing efforts to support everyone’s safety and security. The rules of the road, and oceanside shorelines, are ever changing!Along these same lines we learn about the success and hurdles of local governance with Kīpahulu Ohana‘s article about the newly designated Kīpahulu Community-Based Subsistence Fishing Area (CBSFA) protections, which are in the planning stages of development to cover a much broader area of East Maui. Be sure to check out the update from Councilmember Shane M. Sinenci’s ofce in this HSN issue. And to see what Bills are being introduced as the 2025 Hawaiʻi State legislative session gets underway, we encourage you to start by checking out the links posted on the hanamaui.com Hana Community News which are ltered to list the proposals to which our elected representatives Senator Lynn DeCoite and Representative Mahina Poepoe are primary introducers, many that could have direct impacts in the Hana District. We send out MAHALO NUI to our government representatives for their support and hard work.Finally, as a scratch behind the ears to unconditional love, we feature a memorial about Hāna’s vet, Dr. Malcolm Hickman, and also highlight the evolving support available for the care of our animals from the Maui Humane Society and InnityVet services.HSN Editorial SpotlightBy Heidi Lea | Photo By Heidi Lea
Page 4 Hānaside News Spring 2025As we approach the April 26-27 weekend of the 29th Annual East Maui Taro Festival (EMTF), people ask about its history. With the help of past calendars and minutes, the history is recapped in brief, noting especially the dates, the signicant people involved in its inception, and the reasons why it was started. In this relatively brief history, it becomes evident that the East Maui Taro Festival was truly a labor of love by members and friends of the Hāna Community. The idea of a taro festival germinated after I found out about Oahu’s Pacic Islands Taro Festival in the summer of 1992. But the Hāna festival would be about East Maui and developed and organized by the people of Hāna to suit their style and needs. The concept of Hana’s taro festival had to include its value as an economic booster, a builder of cultural pride, and a means for the people to come together for a common cause in a non-political setting. The people of Hāna were going through some very trying times as economics and community politics made adversaries of kinfolk and neighbors alike.The date for the 1st East Maui Taro Festival (EMTF) was set for March 26-27, 1993 to take advantage of Spring Break and held at Hana Ball Park. Friends of the Hana Coast agreed to be a sponsor, as did the Hana Community Association and Alu Like. The Hana Arts Council agreed to allow EMTF to funnel their money through the Council. Later Hana Cultural Center took on that role until EMTF received its 501(C)(3) status through the efforts of Evy Dana. Hāna artist Jozef Smit presented designs for a logo. A simple taro plant was chosen. I asked that a rainbow be added because of its symbolism. The communities of Hāna, Kīpahulu, Wailua, Keʻanae and Kaupo participated in the rst East Maui Taro Festival, but now includes participants from Greater Maui as well, celebrating the renewed interest in the traditional taro crop and other cultural practices. Keali`i Reichel opened the festival with a chant, Parley Kanakaʻole said the blessing, and Jackie Kahula, Robin Kalama, Harold Nako`oka, and Sam Kalalau III served as MC’s. Mitsue Cook-Carlson presented a certicate to the family of Uncle Harry Mitchell. Aunty Daisy Lind demonstrated traditional poi pounding. Cyril Mangione took care of the electrical needs. Bob Vogele set up the public announcement system in Helene Hall, Jackie Kahula took care of permits, reservations, facilities and grounds.Performances by the following groups enthralled an estimated crowd of over 3,000: Na Leo O Hana, Steve & Cathy Sargenti, Keali`i’s Keiki Hula Halau, Halau Hula Ka Makani Wili Makaha O Kaua`ula, Cecy Kupau & Sisters, Pekelo & Family, Ho`opai Family & Island Heat, and Danny Estacado & Hana’s Own.2025 EMTF Board Maria Orr (President, Co-Coordinator, T-shirt Co-Chair; Mike Minn (Vice Pres; Info Tent Chair; Jessica Orr (Secretary, T-shirt Chair, Grant Writer, EMTF Facebook Admin); Judy Kinser (Treasurer); Lucinda Estrella (Arts & Crafts Chair); Kai Funes-Smith (Program Chair, Logistics); Fawn Helekahi (MC/Program Co-Chair); Zelda Mice Kahula (Permits/Trafc/Security); Doria Lind (Food Vendor Chair); Tweetie Lind (Long-time Past Secretary, Ag Tent Chair). Non-Directors: Kamalani Pahukoa (PR Chair, Grant Writer); Scott Crawford (Web Manager).EMTF 2025 Dedication: This year’s East Maui Taro Festival is dedicated to our very dear friend and fellow Board Member Kanani Kahalehoe who passed away last year. Kanani has been a huge part of EMTF since our very rst public or community meeting in 1992. She has helped in so many ways from sharing ideas, connecting EMTF with various community organizations, especially Hawaiian culturally related groups to hands on help with setting up the ballpark eld (measuring/chalking), helping with security and picking up EMTF mail. The last few years she has been involved with Hawaiian canoes; from making all of us aware of them to coordinating their coming to Hana. She is really missed.EMTF Taro Pancake Breakfast 2025: We are very happy to announce that the Taro Pancake Breakfast (TPB) will once again take place. It’s come a long way from the rst TPB hosted by Hotel Hana Maui, to several hosted by Hāna Business Council. For many reasons it was put on hold, but through a joint community effort spearheaded this year by the Hāna Dragon Football Booster, the TPB will once again be a part of the EMTF festivities, which will be held at Hāna Bay Pavillion and Helene Hall on April 27, 2025. NOTE: East Maui Taro Festival is a 501(C)(3) Non-Prot so we welcome all donations especially for the Taro Pancake Breakfast in the way of taro pancake mix, eggs, breakfast meat, beverages, syrup (all avors, especially coconut), money and VOLUNTEERS!

Page 6 Hānaside News Spring 2025Protecting Kīpahulu: Navigating Challenges and Advocating for the Future of the CBSFABy Kīpahulu ʻOhana, Inc. | Photo Credit Kīpahulu ʻOhana, Inc.The pristine Kīpahulu shoreline, where community efforts like the CBSFA designation and Makai Watch program protect marine resources and preserve a way of life for future generations. It’s been nearly a year since the Kīpahulu Community-Based Subsistence Fishing Area (CBSFA) was designated on March 25, 2024 – after over 10 years of tireless advocacy from the Kīpahulu and East Maui community.The Kīpahulu CBSFA spans approximately 5.7 miles of coastline from Kālepa Gulch to Pua‘alu‘u Gulch, and encompasses roughly 1,650 acres of submerged area from the high-water mark on the shoreline to three points roughly along the 60-meter depth contour and about 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 mile from shore. The rules in place include bag limits, size limits, seasonal limits, gear restrictions, and closure areas. Since the designation, Kīpahulu ‘Ohana has been vigilant in educating visitors to the moku (area) about the new rules in place to increase awareness, compliance, and respect for the subsistence lifestyle of the area. For example, there is an ‘Opihi Rest Area within the CBSFA where the harvest of ‘opihi is not allowed, and a no-take Sanctuary at Kukui Bay where harvest or possession of any marine life is not allowed. Unfortunately, during their annual ‘opihi monitoring survey in July 2024, it was clear that illegal harvesting of ‘opihi had occurred within the CBSFA’s no-take areas.To combat these types of instances, Kīpahulu ‘Ohana established a Makai Watch Program with volunteers and paid staff who maintain a vigilant, informative presence at popular coastal areas within the CBSFA and are trained to report any violations that occur to the Division of Conservation and Resource Enforcement (DOCARE). “Makai Watch is like ‘Neighborhood Watch’ but for the ocean,” says Ka‘uiki Lind, Makai Watch Coordinator for Kīpahulu. “Our community is the eyes and ears of this place. We got trained by DOCARE ofcers on how to promote compliance to rules, education, and monitoring, which helps us manage our marine resources.”While the Makai Watch program has had a promising start, the response time and enforcement from DOCARE has been disappointing. When the ‘opihi violation within the CBSFA was reported to DOCARE, it took months to get a response, and ultimately DOCARE said they were unable to enforce the CBSFA rules until State signage is posted along the roadway at the boundaries of Kīpahulu moku and within the Haleakalā National Park. The inability to enforce these rules until there is public signage came as a surprise and huge point of frustration to Kīpahulu ‘Ohana, who has been working with the State since March to nalize the formal signs, and also with the County of Maui Department of Public Works for permission to erect signs along the road. The ‘Ohana already has their own community outreach detailing the CBSFA rules posted within the park so that visitors know about the rules in place.“The Division of Aquatic Resources and DOCARE have been instrumental partners in the successful designation of our CBSFA. And, in order for our CBSFA and Makai Watch Program to work, we need continual effective co-management for our moku,” said Kamalei Pico, Executive Director of Kīpahulu ‘Ohana. “We could really use a DOCARE ofcer located in East Maui to increase response time and enforcement presence and would love to see funding come through to support that.”As a call to action, please contact your State Senator, Lynn DeCoite, by phone at (808) 587-7225 or by email at sendecoite@capitol.hawaii.gov, and your District 13 State House Representative, Mahina Poepoe, by phone at (808) 586-6790 or by email at reppoepoe@capitol.hawaii.gov, to request funding for a DOCARE ofcer in East Maui. Together, we can ensure the Kīpahulu CBSFA thrives as a model of community-driven marine resource management – protecting our waters, preserving our customary practices and cultural traditions, and inspiring future generations to mālama this special place. The work we do today will sustain Kīpahulu’s abundance for tomorrow. For more information about the Kīpahulu CBSFA, visit www.kipahulu.org.The new year brought the return of the Walaʻau Sesh, a monthly in-person community discussion with Hāna Police and First Responders. The rst one of the year was scheduled from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm at the Hāna Hub Pavilion, formerly known as “Coconut Grove”, the last gate on the left before you get to the Hāna Airport. If you need a ride, please call the MEO branch ofce to make arrangements at (808) 248-8282. These talk story events are hosted by the Hāna Community Association and will occur monthly.Dates, times and location, can be found listed on the Hāna Community Association Facebook page, @HanaCommunityAssn, HanaMaui.com/events calendar, and will also be posted on the Hāna Community News email list and town center bulletin boards.Return of the Monthly Walaʻau SeshBy the Hāna Community Association
Spring 2025 Hānaside News Page 7MOKULELE AIRLINESProudly serving Hāna with two daily flights to KahuluiMokuleleAirlines.com1-866-260-7070“Thank you, Dr. Hickman, for choosing Hana. Your love for our animals was felt at every visit. You have guided our family through the loss of our old lady, Hoku Girl, at 28 human years. I am forever grateful for your teaching me how to care for her after she was run over. You helped us care for our dogs, Uakea and Honey Girl, and at each visit, we felt condent about their care. I know that Rainbow Bridge is rejoicing now that all the animals have you there, Dr. Hickman. What a special person you were to all of us here. All my aloha to your ʻohana. God Bless you, Dr. Hickman. May the perpetual light shine upon you and may you rest in peace. Amen!” - Melody Cosma-GonsalvesDr. Malcolm E. Hickman, Jr, DVM transitioned peacefully into eternal life on November 6, 2024 after a largely unacknowledged battle with cancer in Hana, Hawaii. From a young age, he was inspired to pursue a career as a veterinarian, culminating in his graduation from Texas A&M Veterinary School of Medicine in 1963.A Tribute to Dr. Malcolm E. Hickman, Jr. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, and Caring for the Animals of East MauiIN MEMORY OF Malcolm HicksDr. Malcolm came to Hāna after serving in veterinary clinics in Lubbock, Texas and Memphis, Tennessee, and he founded the Hoof and Paw Animal Clinic in Cross Plains, Tennessee in the 1970s. He specialized in small and large animals, ensuring that quality care was accessible to all, regardless of their pet parents’ nancial means. His patience with each patient was legendary, as he was never in a rush even when the waiting room was standing room only.Those who knew Malcolm may also have known his surviving wife and soulmate, Jane – their love story was rare and magical. They were married 43 years and rarely were seen apart. After over 20 years of practice in Cross Plains, The Hickman’s sold the clinic and moved to beautiful Hana, Hawaii in 1998, to begin a semi-retirement and build their dream home. There, he diligently studied for the Hawaii State Boards of Veterinary Medicine, passing on this rst attempt at the age of 60. He founded the Hanabelle Animal Clinic, much to the delight of the Hana community, providing essential veterinary care without the need to make the two-hour hair-raising drive to the ‘other side.’ He continued to practice until shortly before his passing, often joking he wanted to die “with a needle in one hand and a scalpel in the other.”Beyond veterinary practice, Malcolm had a natural gift for music, effortlessly playing the piano by ear, guitar, and harmonica. He also enjoyed painting as a hobbyist watercolor artist. Proud of his craftsmanship, he laid every tile in their Hāna home and restored two classic Model-As. Known as Mr. Fix-It when he got around to it he was never bored, never met a stranger, and was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.Malcom has been interred in Tennessee and will be there when Jane is able to join him. The family wishes to acknowledge the Hana community for their love and support, especially Carl and Linda Ebrus for their special friendship and going above and beyond to support them, Maui Hospice, and the Maui Church of Christ for being with him in the end.Two mobile vet clinic options are now available to East Maui residents. Maui Humane Society’s Hāna Mobile Veterinary Clinics are offered every other month. And new mobile vet services are also offered by Dr. Krysta Scimeca of Innity Vet, scheduling twice monthly services at Hāna Gardenland. Remember, if you require immediate assistance with animal emergencies you can reach out to Sharon Jahns with the Humane Society (808) 870-6251. And remember to get your pets spayed or neutered.Article Contributors: Wellentina Greer, Melody Cosma-Gonsalves, Heidi Lea | Photo By Kai Funes Smith
Page 8 Hānaside News Spring 2025Visitors to Maui Nui come as part of extended ʻohana and adventure seekers wanting to explore the extraordinary beauty and dynamic environment in the land of Aloha. Impacts of the 1 Million + annual travelers to the Hana District have spotlighted the area’s limited infrastructure and challenge us to educate travelers about our ʻāina. Misinformed visitors, out of touch with updated guidance, go to places without sanctioned trails and into dangerous areas which may not have been restricted in the past. Due to this, community residents and organizations strongly recommend that visitors plan their trips in advance, stay more than a day, and utilize locally permitted tour operators. Don’t just drive the Road to Hāna, thrive and survive by using a licensed guide!Since the tragic Maui Fires of August 2023, it has been a struggle for most companies on island to successfully maintain their businesses. Recently within the Hana District there has been an increase of illegal tourism provided by illegal tour “companies”. While legal businesses are struggling to maintain their current staff and to provide work for their employees, illegal operators and companies ourish. Legal companies are required to have proper labeling on their vehicles and insurance and, if renting a vehicle for a tour, payment of additional surcharge taxes. Labels on the tour vehicles provide vital information to the public to ensure that they’re operating in a pono (respectful) manner for their guests and our community. The State of Hawaii requires that all legal tour operators are to maintain a Public Utilities Commission (PUC) license. Per PUC regulations, each legal company must display their company’s name, PUC license number, and gross vehicle weight (GVR) on the vehicle with a minimum of two-inch size lettering. Legal companies usually have local guides who understand proper etiquette for operating within the community – often having lived in, or with ʻohana, from the Hana District. These relationships provide the local knowledge of how to drive the Hana Highway and where to avoid parking or stopping in prohibited areas. However, with the recent inux of illegal tourism, the operators who are not properly labeled are proting from exploiting areas where the community doesn’t want tourists venturing1. These areas include Kaihalulu, Waioka, and the bamboo forest at mile marker (MM) 6.5, to name a few. The Hana Business Council (HBC) has been working alongside legal local operators to get proper PUC enforcement, which has been lacking for several years. If community members are willing to assist in holding illegal operators accountable the PUC commission has an online complaint page accessed at: hpuc.my.site.com/cdms/s/consumers Instructions for community members willing to stand up to combat illegal tourism: DO NOT threaten or cause any action, Verbal or Physical, to cause harm to either party. Take down license plate numbers with Vehicle Color, Make and Model. Take pictures which can be submitted on the PUC complaint. If possible, take pictures of drivers/tourists entering or leaving the tour vehicle.Create video testimonials as evidence from visitors about what illegal operator they’re with. Community members are encouraged to attend the monthly HBC community and member meetings to engage about this ongoing community issue; email any questions or testimonials to HBC@hanabusinesscouncil.com. Regulation of tour operation is going through changes between departmental jurisdiction within Maui County, and staying up to date is possible through community dialogue with our civic leadership.https://hanamaui.com/hana-advisory-against-visiting-waioka-and-kaihalulu-in-east-maui/Maui Humane Society’s Hana Mobile Vet ClinicBy Victoria Ivankic | Photo By Heidi LeaThe Maui Humane Society’s Hāna Mobile Veterinary Clinic will be happening again on February 7 at the Hāna Hub Pavillion, the entrance is on Alalele Place through the last gate on the left just before the Hāna Airport.

Veterinary services: MHS’ Mobile Veterinary Clinic travels to Hana every other month to offer vaccines, microchips, etc. for pets, as well as supply pick up and other support from the 4EverPets program. Everyone involved with the last Hāna Mobile Veterinary Clinic on December 6th agreed that it was a great success. The location was a perfect place with minimal distractions to assist the pet clientele to feel comfortable, ample parking and space to support our community’s animal caretakers. Thirty-one animals were seen, 979 pounds of cat food and 3,900 pounds of dog food was distributed as part of the 4EverPets program, with more than sixty families served with veterinary care and/or pet resources and supplies.

Makaʻala - Quarterly Incident and Safety UpdatesBy Heidi Lea | Infographic LexisNexis CommunityCrimeMap.comFrom the beginning of June 2024 to the beginning of 2025, 299 incidents were reported on the East Side, covering a range of circumstances including: derelict and abandoned vehicle, arson citations, family abuse, disorderly conduct, harassment, and assault reports, burglary, criminal tampering, trespass, open burning, littering and property damage, illegal rearms, reckless endangerment, and drugs/narcotic violations, unleashed dogs and dog bites. Additionally, our rst responders had their hands full with camping and illegally parked vehicle violations, and vehicle theft. Court incidents included violations of temporary restraining orders, orders of protection, parole violations, and criminal contempt of court, all part of the work managed by our ofcers and judicial representatives. Sharing this overview is meant to serve as an opportunity to educate and act as a deterrent to criminal conduct. These numbers make it clear and alert us that our rst responders are both available to our community, and busy enforcing laws – such as camping violations, reminding visitors to secure their vehicles, and responding to our community members when they see unusual behavior or require emergency assistance. Remember to call 911 for urgent emergencies and otherwise the Maui Police Department - Non-Emergency Number at (808) 244-6400.

Page 10 Hānaside News Spring 2025Did you know the Hāna Farmers Market accepts SNAP, Da Bux, and WIC benets? These programs are designed to help Hawai‘i residents combat food insecurity and make fresh, local food more accessible.These assistance programs provide funds for low-income residents, expecting mothers, and mothers with young children to purchase food, seeds, or food bearing plants. For East Maui residents, this means you can shop at the market to buy local groceries like meat, sh, eggs, coconut milk, fresh-squeezed juice, organic produce, honey, poi and more. Save a trip to the other side of the island, while supporting your local farmers. Between 2022 and 2024, the Hāna Farmers Market processed $163,448.57 in total SNAP benet purchases, including $35,651.25 in Da Bux discounts. In October 2024 SNAP income qualications increased, meaning more families are now eligible!

Spring 2025 Hānaside News Page 11Mahalo to the steady presence of our county workers, rst responders, businesses and the support of East Maui residents along the Hana Highway – who are always on hand to respond when our neighbors and visitors are in need! As each new year begins we are reminded of the variability of the weather and how it affects the ʻāina. When there are storms which can pose the danger of potential ash ood conditions, then it is NOT a time to travel the roads or go explore near the streams of Maui Hikina (East Maui)! As a service to the community, established around the year 2000, residents and emergency response leaders created an afliate focus group of emergency preparedness – currently called Hoʻomakaukau Maui Hikina or East Maui Ready - EMR. The team meets on the last Wednesday of each month at 5pm via Zoom to share ongoing topics pertaining to the health and safety of the Hāna District. All are welcome! The mission of EMR’s afliates is to educate and assist our East Maui communities in being prepared, informed and ready to mitigate the effects of emergencies when disasters occur. A goal of EMR is to have participants from each of 18 dened wahi (areas) – For purposes of this plan, East Maui has been divided into 18 village areas. These include: Hāna Town, Koʻolau/Keanaʻe/Wailuanui, Lower Nāhiku, Upper Nāhiku, Ulaino, Ka’eleku, Waianapanapa, Hāna School, Wākiu, Kawaipapa, Hana-Maui Resort, Haneo’o, Kapia, Maka’alae, Puʻuiki/Haou/Koali/Mūʻolea, Kīpahulu, and the Kīpahulu District of the Haleakala National Park, and Kaupo. Visit the HanaMaui.com website for information about safely navigating the Hāna Highway. This is a collaboration of insights from individuals and organizations working with EMR.The Road to Hāna – Drive with Aloha page includes a Code of Conduct for Safety, reminding visitors to pull over for faster drivers and to avoid non-sanctioned areas and trails! Here you can ll in and share the Travel Adventure Survey composed to learn more about how visitors nd out information for coming to the Hāna District and travel in general.Meeting information can be found on Hoʻomakaukau Maui Hikina – East Maui Ready, links to the Emergency Preparedness Handbook by Hawaiian Electric, and EMR Noise Tracking Form to ll in your experiences of helicopter noise and the Marine Corp complaint website.We recommend all residents and visitors watch the 7 minute training video, Rescue Tubes (RT) Save Lives, to learn of the proper use and maintenance of RTs.

They have been instrumental in bringing this vision of a new monthly event that celebrates the island’s vibrant talent and abundant resources to life. This neighborhood gathering will be located on Hāli’imaile Road in the picturesque bays between the Maui Pineapple Store and the Hāli’imaile General Store. The next market will take place on Friday, February 21, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., offering a lively, family-friendly atmosphere with an incredible mix of local artisans, jewelers, farmers, and more. Come enjoy the charm of this market—a place where our community, creativity, and local avors come together.Fresh Help Maui is putting a kāhea (announcement) out to the East Maui community for their participation in this event. Farmers and shermen will not be charged a vendor fee. Farmers from East Maui who participated in the previous month’s market have expressed their excitement about the potential of this space because of its location on a main road and large parking area. Maui is lacking community spaces, and this monthly gathering hopes to bring together not just ‘ohana from upcountry but the whole island.The market will feature fresh, locally sourced food, hand-crafted jewelry, vintage Hawaiian clothing, and other unique goods. Fresh Help Maui is actively seeking food trucks, local musicians, shermen, and volunteers to help showcase the island’s rich offerings and make the market a memorable event for all attendees.“We want the Hāli’imaile Night Market to be a consistent and welcoming space for this neighborhood to gather, shop, and connect,” said Jackie Keefe, Market Manager. “By collaborating with local businesses, we aim to create a fun, engaging experience for everyone to enjoy.”Fresh Help Maui is dedicated to ensuring everyone in the community has access to nutritious, locally sourced food. The night market is an important step in this mission, bringing together local vendors and community members in a shared space that supports Maui’s food security and fosters deeper connections within and around the island. “We’re excited to see how the market will evolve with the involvement of our local community,” Keefe added. “We’re looking for vendors, musicians, volunteers, food trucks, shermen, and anyone interested in contributing to this event to help make it even more special.”UPCOMING MARKET DATES Every Third Friday of the MonthFEBRUARY 21 • MARCH 21 • APRIL 18“We are looking forward to partnering with Fresh Help Maui and the County’s Ofce of Economic Development this year to activate Hāli’imaile Town,” notes Race Randle, CEO of Maui Land & Pineapple Co. Inc. “These community partnerships and events align with our mission to put our spaces to their most productive use in supporting farmers and makers and creating vibrant gathering places in our town centers.” Our shared dedication to community enrichment and economic development has provided a solid framework for the market’s success.For more information on how to participate or get involved in supporting the event, please contact aloha@thelahainacookbook.org.

Spring 2025 Hānaside News Page 13Hawaiʻi Palliative & Hospice Care Collective AnnouncementBy Hospice Maui | Photo By Hospice MauiIn an unprecedented effort to ensure sustainable, high-quality care for patients and families across Hawai‘i, six leading grassroots non-prot hospice providers; Hawai‘i Care Choices, Hospice Maui, Kaua‘i Hospice, Navian Hawaii, North Hawai‘i Hospice, and St. Francis Hospice have joined forces to form the Hawai‘i Palliative and Hospice Care Collaborative. Hospice Maui, which has served the people of Maui for over 40 years, is dedicated to enhancing quality of life and providing support for individuals and their families facing a life-limiting illness. In 2022, their home-based palliative and hospice care services were expanded to Hāna, Moloka’i, and Lana’i communities.As Hawai‘i’s population ages, the demand for hospice and palliative services is increasing. Although thousands of residents are eligible for hospice care, and much more could benet from palliative services, geographic barriers and workforce shortages pose signicant challenges, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Hospice Maui’s clinical team is committed to providing patients and their families the support they need in the comfort of their own home and community. In addition to their clinical team making routine visits to provide care to patients and their families, their outreach team aims to connect with the community through monthly outreach visits and to provide critical resources to help individuals facing serious illness.During their outreach visits to Hāna at the rst Friday Farmer’s Market, they offer education about palliative and hospice care services and resources to support advance care planning. This outreach is essential to ensuring that individuals and their families understand their options and make informed decisions based on their beliefs and values. They also provide durable medical equipment from their Community Closet to help improve the quality of life for those with mobility challenges. Some of the equipment available includes walkers, shower chairs, commodes, and other tools that can make day-to-day life more comfortable. If you or a loved one would like more information about services or available resources, please contact us at 808-244-5555 or visit www.hospicemaui.org. For educational resources/downloadable documents regarding advance care planning visit: www.hospicemaui.org/education. It includes informative brochures, helpful tips, and other items to support families’ caregiving journey. “We are excited to be part of the Hawai‘i Palliative and Hospice Care Collaborative,” said Melanie Dwyer, CEO of Hospice Maui. “This collaboration reects our unwavering commitment to sustaining the legacy of patient-family-centered, mission-driven care, rooted in the values of Hawaiʻi’s diverse communities. Our goal is to ensure everyone has access to the care they deserve, no matter where they live. By uniting our resources and expertise, we can strengthen the support available to Hāna and other rural communities throughout Maui County to access the compassionate care they deserve during life’s most vulnerable moments.” Open Daily 7AM to 7PMPROPANE HOURSMon-Fri 8:00AM to 4:00PMSat-Sun 12PM to 3PMHāna Town Center1752 Mill Pl, Hāna, HI 96713808-270-5295
Page 14 Hānaside News Spring 2025If you have ever ridden in an Uber, or a taxicab, and especially if you’ve stuck out your thumb and hitched a ride, then you know what it means to trust a total stranger. But what if that stranger was not taking you to the store, or your car, but out through the open door of an airplane at 10,000 feet? At Maui Skydiving we are honored that thousands of people have trusted us to do just that. Relying on the expertise, equipment, and judgment of each one of the Maui Skydiving staff, people gift us their trust on a daily basis. In return we gift them the freedom of human ight. Like any business we make money in exchange for providing a service. But, the service we provide is unique. Many of our customers are challenging themselves, overcoming deep fears, or checking a big item off their “bucket list”. We are happy to facilitate these experiences over the most beautiful place in the world. The fact is, although tandem skydiving is very safe, people are in fact trusting us with their lives, and we are honored to be capable and ready to care for their safety. Founded in 2019 by Matt (Matty) St. Louis and his wife Ylenia, Maui Skydiving completes a full circle path for the couple. Matty was raised in a skydiving family, both his mother and his father were avid skydivers who owned and operated skydiving centers themselves. Ylenia learned to skydive on Oʻahu, with Matty as one of her instructors. Together they realized their dream of owning their own skydive center here on Maui. With the help of longtime friends, Maui Skydiving launched off the ground in Hana! Through the pandemic of 2020 and the devastating Maui res of 2023, Maui Skydiving has continued to honor its commitment to the Matt St. Louis Pono Initiative. This Initiative directs the company’s resources towards key areas including: livable wages for all staff, yearly donations of a percentage of prots to Hana non-prot organizations, and carbon footprint offset in partnership with Maui Nui Marine Resource Council. As we approach our 5 year anniversary in Hana we look forward to the opportunity to receive your trust, the trust of your Ohana, and to share the sky with you. We offer special pricing for residents of East Maui, as well as Kamaʻaina rates for anyone living in Hawaii. Check our website www.mauiskydiving.com for information, or stop by the airport and say “Aloha”... we’d be happy to show you why we do what we do. Your trust in us is truly a gift.The Gift Of TrustMaui Skydiving Celebrates 5 Years of ServiceBy Robby Young | Photo By Robby YoungEngine oil never wears out, it has been in the earth for millions of years and it does not deteriorate or go bad. What happens inside an engine as it is being used is that the internal parts wear slightly every time the engine is started and run. The wear of the moving parts inside the engine contaminates the oil with particulates. The engine oil lter collects these particulates which are made up of the different types of metals used to build the engine. For example, the main crankshaft and cam bearings have lead, zinc, and copper, the pistons are made up of aluminum, the rocker arms are made up of steel, and the cylinder liners made of cast iron alloyed with nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium. All parts wear slightly as the engine runs, and the oil collects all metal particulates from the wear inside the engine. The oil becomes contaminated and is pushed through the oil lter element which stops most particulates before the oil is pumped into the crankshaft bearings.While it is always recommended to refer to your car manufacturer’s recommended oil type and change schedule for the most accurate information, some believe that changing the engine oil on a regular interval is not necessary to make the engine last longer. However at a minimum, changing the oil lter on a regular basis is necessary to protect your engine.A conventional or normal size vehicle engine oil lter can hold a half quart for a small engine, up to 2 quarts or more in a larger diesel engine. Most conventional oil lters ow oil from the outside of the element to the inside, and the oil exits the center hole into your lower engine crankshaft bearings, up through the cam bearings, and above to the rocker arms in the engine head.Depending on how many times you start your vehicle engine per day, the miles you drive, and the RPM you like to drive at, these are all factors in the number of particles produced by your engine that end up inside the oil lter. This particulate collection produces a restriction of pumped oil owing through, and at some point the lter bypass valve will open and allow unltered oil into your engine bearings, cylinder liners, piston skirts, and other moving parts inside your engine causing high wear on parts. Changing the oil lter does require adding the amount of oil that was in the lter, and that addition of new engine oil mixes with the oil remaining in the oil pan, renewing the engine oil to an acceptable condition. When you drive daily at least 2 hours per drive, change your engine oil lter every 3 months, and add new oil to top off level, it will allow you to reduce the frequency of full oil changes when in a pinch. Choosing the engine oil you will need for your vehicle is simple and straight forward for Maui residents. A synthetic oil change can end up costing more and is specically designed to work in freezing temperatures below 0 Fahrenheit. It is not necessary in a climate that never goes to freezing temperature. For a new engine in Hawaii a straight viscosity 30 weight oil is recommended and for a used engine over 30 thousand miles a straight viscosity 40 weight oil should be used. You do not need to use a synthetic oil in this climate or a multi viscosity oil for example 15W 40. The 15W means 15 Winter to below 0 and the 40 means how thick it is after it’s hot. The rst number to a multi viscosity oil is a measurement of resistance while starting your engine in a sub-zero environment, and the last number is the amount of oil that ows through a specic sized orice at temperatures over 200F. So, when budgeting for oil changes, at least change your oil lter 4 times a year, and use a straight weight oil on Maui. Mechanics ColumnBy Hāna “Brochanic” (aka Dale Basgall)Engine Oil Tips

I was one-year-old on August 24, 1953. A family kahuna was giving the pule (prayer) and ole (chant). The ower scent lled the air, as I felt the Koʻolau Valley cool breeze, and sounds of ocean waves. This was the beginning of my laʻau lapaʻau medicine healing. Throughout my growing up, I learned three lapaʻau healing practices – Lomi lapaʻau, massage healing; huna lapaʻau, mental and emotional healing; and oiwi lapaʻau, bone setting healing. The teachings were given to me under the guidance of my uncle Daniel Hanakahi and Henry Auwae – another kahuna master teacher. Years later around 2012, after retiring from a career in construction, I devoted my time and effort into laʻau lapaʻau medicine healing. My curiosity into Asian and Native American healing had begun in the 1980’s. My studies progressed to develop an integrated, conventional approach to holistic therapy, working with plant medicine and body massage treatments. And, although traditional healing is slow, it is effective; especially when working alongside medical therapy’s advanced diagnostic, treatment and care regimens.Much that is seen in today’s Hawaiian traditional healing practices are remedies to minor injuries, us, and infections that can be effectively treated with herbal plants. The practice of laʻau lapaʻau medicine healing takes patience, consistency, and the willingness to learn. 50% is self practice and 50% requires study, research, and experiments. As a Kumu (teacher) and Kahu (practitioner), my mission and approach is that healing starts from within and expands to one’s outward physical well-being to become whole again. My closing testament of healing starts with balanced nutrition and care for one’s mind and body – for an active mind is a healthy mind, and active body is a healthy body.To further engagement email: kaaihuedennis@gmail.com.810 Kokomo Road, Haiku 808-575-5320M-F 11-7:30 / SAT 12-7:00 Sunday Closed VEG-OUT.COMPlease join the Maui Metropolitan Planning Organization and Hāna community representatives as we continue the process of exploring a multiuse pathway through Hāna town.
