Page 4 Hānaside News Summer 2025The Hana Community Pathway Study envisions a 5.5-mile multimodal shared-use path linking important resources and services like Hāna Elementary and High School, Hāna Health, and the farmers’ market, allowing residents and visitors to safely walk, bike, or roll through the community. Currently, Hāna Highway is the only road connecting the daily services and destinations frequented by residents and visitors. This two-lane road is winding and narrow, and cars on the highway frequently surpass the 25-mph speed limit.The pathway aims to increase connectivity, accessibility, and safety by designating dedicated walkways and trails for pedestrians separate from the highway.After a year of gathering input from community residents and relevant agencies through both online and in-person meetings, the Maui Metropolitan Organization (MPO)-sponsored Hāna Community Pathway Study is nearing completion. There are 2 remaining meetings: one online meeting on June 2, and a  nal in-person meeting planned for June 23, 2025. To date there have been four meetings:Meeting #1 - Identify the Route: Held July 22, 2024 at Hāna TropicalsGoal: To understand what is most important to residents when envisioning a pedestrian pathway through Hāna.Meeting #2 - Route Analysis: October 7, 2024, held virtuallyGoal: To identify a community-approved pathway route and evaluate the permitting and construction hurdles.Meeting #3 - Agency Stakeholders: December 9 & 10, 2024, held virtuallyGoal: To align other agency projects in the area with the pathway and understand mutual goals and potential roadblocks to pathway implementation.Meeting #4: Pathway Visualizations: February 18, 2025 at Helene HallGoals: To propose and gather feedback on pathway designs that  t the physical constraints of the identi ed pathway corridor and adjoining lands.To ensure designs are aligned with the needs, desires, and rural character of the Hāna community. To ensure designs are safe and promote active and healthy lifestyles.The  nal meetings to present and  nalize the Draft Community Pathway Plan will identify the steps towards implementation including permitting, design and construction, maintenance, and funding sources. This study will memorialize community input and demonstrate how the community led the study process; and ensure key community desires identi ed through the planning process are carried forward in future planning, design, construction, and maintenance activities.Go to https://hanamaui.com/hana-pathways/ for the latest information and to  nd a link to the MPO Community Pathway Study where all meetings, including the community feedback, have been compiled for public review.Hāna Community Pathway Study Wrap-UpRecap provided by the HBC Community Pathway Committee with information and graphics from the PBR & Associates Study TeamCompassionate Hospice & Palliative Care Wherever you Call Home•24/7 On-Call Nursing Support•In-Home Visits: RNs, CNAs, Social Workers & Spiritual Care Counselors•Access to Equipment, Medications & Expert Symptom Management• Facilitation of Available Local Resources for Patients and FamiliesIs Palliative Care or Hospice Right for You or Your Loved One?808-244-5555Caring for families on Maui (including Hāna), Molokaʻi, & LānaʻiCONTACT US FOR A FREE CONSULTATION ON ELIGIBILITY & COVERAGEwww.HospiceMaui.orgMaui Countyʻs Only Local Non-Prot Hospice & Palliative Care ProviderEST. 1981If you want others to be happy,practice compassion.If you want to be happy,practice compassion.PO BOX 646 Hāna, HI 96713PO BOX 646 Hāna, HI 96713Hāna Maui TrustHāna Maui TrustThe Largest Selection in Hawaii!The Largest Selection in Hawaii!808-573-8318808-573-8318Rainbow AcresCACTUS & SUCCULENT NURSERY2233 Olinda Road, Makawao | rainbowacresmaui.comRainbow AcresRainbow AcresCACTUS & SUCCULENT NURSERYCACTUS & SUCCULENT NURSERY2233 Olinda Road, Makawao | rainbowacresmaui.comTUESDAY AND THURS 9-4 TUESDAY AND THURS 9-4 SATURDAY 10-3SATURDAY 10-3

Federal Tax ID #99-0313784.Living in Hāna, chances are you or someone you know has had venison make its way into the household. When available, our community has been fortunate to receive 2 lbs of ground venison per household - free of charge, at Hasegawa General Store thanks to Maui Nui Venison’s Holo ʻAi Program. Ground venison with the mashed ‘Ulu topping makes a delicious and hearty alternative to traditional Shepherd’s Pie. Venison Shepherd’s Pie with ʻUlu ToppingBy Carla CarrascoMEAT FILLING2 Tbsp Olive Oil 1 Small Yellow Onion - Diced 1 Pound Ground Venison 2 tsp Dried Parsley 1 tsp Dried Rosemary 1 tsp Dried Thyme 1/2 tsp Salt 1/2 tsp Pepper 1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce 5 Cloves of Garlic - minced 2 Tbsp All Purpose Flour 2 Tbsp Tomato Paste 1 Cup Beef Broth (or any kind of broth) 1 1/2 Cups Mixed Frozen Peas, Carrots & Corn (or can use fresh ingredients) PREPARATION1. Place a large skillet on medium high heat, I like using a large cast iron pan for this whole recipe. Add oil and onions. Cook for about 5 minutes until onions are slightly translucent. 2. Add the ground venison to the pan and break it up. Add the parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the meat is browned. 3. Add Worcestershire sauce and garlic, and cook for about 1 minute 4. Add  our and tomato paste making sure to incorporate it well. 5. Add broth, peas, carrots and corn. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then set aside. 6. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 7. Bring a pot of water to boil. Add the ‘ulu chunks to it. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until ‘uluis soft and can be pierced by a fork.8. Drain the ‘ulu in a colander and return it to the pot. Add butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, & pepper. Mash all ingredients together well. Once thoroughly mashed, add Parmesan cheese and stir until well combined.9. I use the cast iron pan to fully assemble and to cook in the oven. If you do not have a cast iron, use a pie pan or 9x9 inch baking dish. Spread meat mixture on the bottom. Spoon the mashed ‘ulu on top, carefully spreading into and even layer. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese on top.10. If the dish looks full, put it on top of a baking sheet when placing it into the oven so it doesn’t bubble over and make a mess inside. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.‘ULU TOPPING2 lbs. ‘Ulu - Peeled, Cored and Cubed (or Potatoes if no ‘Ulu)8 Tbsp Butter (1 stick) 1/3 Cup Milk (or can be a dairy free alternative) 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder 1/2 tsp Salt 1/4 tsp Pepper 1/4 Cup Parmesan cheese, (plus a bit more to sprinkle on top)

Page 6 Hānaside News Summer 2025Information about the services offered in East Maui by Maui Humane Society (MHS), and registration information for other services, can be found on the www.mauihumanesociety.org website, and include: Animal rescue & Humane Enforcement which assists with rescuing sick, injured, abused and lost animals. Animal emergencies should be reported to our 24/7 dispatch line - 808-877-3680 ext. 222. Reports and requests for assistance can also be submitted online.The 4EverPets Program is designed to keep pets and people together for those facing  nancial hardship. Those enrolled in the program can pick up supplies every other month at the Maui Humane Society Mobile Veterinary Clinics at the Hāna Hub. MHS’ Mobile Veterinary Clinic travels to Hana every other month to offer vaccines, microchips, etc. Upcoming visits are listed on mauihumanesociety.org/events.Sharon Jahns has been working as the part time local Humane Enforcement Of cer with Maui Humane Society for the last three years. Prior to that, an of cer would come out to East Maui about once a week. The community would have to wait, with cases lined up to  t with that schedule. And in the case of emergencies the police would be called, and for some incidents the Humane Society would make a special trip. Now it works out that the response to emergency situations can be handled without driving to Central Maui. If the police  nd a dog, or dogs are dropped off at the police station, they bring them to Sharon, or she will go get them from the of cers. For example, on a night a month or so ago, the police came to Sharon’s property at midnight, having found two dogs wandering in Kīpahulu. They were just scared and lost, so the Hāna Police called Sharon and arranged to bring them to her, where she is able to hold animals in the kennels that she has on her property. The owners were found the next day–so it was a good end to that story. In some cases Sharon has to go out on calls, like the police. If there are animal bite cases, it can be the animal control of cer’s role to assist the police or vice versa. The police can always be her backup. She has a radio to connect with the police department, but mostly it’s for communications with the Maui Humane Society team–with connectivity along the entire route through the district. For spay and neutering services one can call MHS and make appointments online. Although this service is not offered by MHS in Hāna, Sharon is able to assist with both scheduling an appointment and taking animals in for the procedure. Usually the animal has to be at MHS by 8:30, and then the animals are returned to the owner, or to Sharon, for the return home. Recently, the Humane Society sent a trapper out who collected 25 cats who were spayed and neutered.Spotlight on Hāna Animal SupportInterview of Humane Enforcement Officer Sharon JahnsBy Heidi Lea / Photos By Sharon Jahns & Heidi LeaQ & A with Sharon JahnsQ: Had you ever worked with animals before this job?Sharon: No, but I wish I had done so a lot sooner. It’s my passion to help the animals in so many different ways, and I’ve been able to meet a lot of really special people here in Hana doing this, including my former neighbor, Dr. Hickman, who is no longer with us.Q: Since you’ve taken this role, how do you feel your involvement with the Maui community has changed?Sharon: For the better, for sure! I love the fact I’m meeting people that I haven’t known and helping pets across East Maui who I don’t already know. Q: How far is your jurisdiction in this job?Sharon: From Kamahina State Wayside park, which is where we exchange animals a lot of times when I’m unable to drive them all the way. We meet halfway. And I will make calls all the way to Kaupō.Q: What is your experience helping with the MHS clinics at the Hāna Hub?Sharon: The clinics are very popular, and unfortunately we have to turn people away. MHS can do up to around 26 animals, give or take, and we  ll up so fast! There’s such a need for this! Currently it is every six weeks. Q: What would you say is the hardest part of your work?Sharon: It’s when you see animals that are sick or they have medical conditions, and you know that their joy has gone out of their eyes. But then I work with the owner and do what can be done. Plenty of skin conditions are seen out here in Hana. Demodex mites cause really bad skin issues. That was the problem with Lucy, my white dog, who came to me with no hair and her whole body was oozy green. She was like a bag of bones, and we couldn’t tell what kind of dog she was, but her tail was wagging. That’s hard to see. Hard, but then look at her now. For all the things that you see that are hard, the only reason I keep doing this job is because most of the time there’s a good outcome at the end of the story. MHS has taught me how you can help animal caretakers to  gure out how they can keep their animals. For example, if somebody’s dog keeps getting out and it’s a bit aggressive, but they love their dog. It’s like their child. So what you do is help get food that might be needed, or collars, and now we also provide kennels. Whatever is needed for pets is put in place, and that is really really good. So you take these stories that could be disastrous, and turn them into something positive.Q: Have you gotten relationships with some of our cattle wrangling community?Sharon: Some, I do have relationships with a lot of people. Somebody might tell me, “I need a goat.” So then, I’m in the shelter a month later, and somebody brings in a baby goat they found at Walmart that somebody just dumped there. And MHS is like, “We don’t keep goats here.” And I’m like well… Wait a minute… so I have become an animal broker to some extent. People let me know what they’re looking for, what they want. And, when it comes my way, which inevitably it does, I can assist.

SERVICE YOU DESERVE!I CONTRACT WITH EVERY MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLAN IN HAWAIIIn nity Vet, a mixed-animal mobile veterinary practice, is actively  lling the long-standing gap separating animals across Maui from accessing veterinary care both physically, by driving the Toyota Rav4 clinic to their patients’ homes, as well as  nancially, through nonpro t-raised funds. The Lāhainā  res burned down the only two veterinary hospitals in West Maui, fueling Dr. Krysta Scimeca to personally start serving Lāhainā weekly and Hāna monthly in April 2024. In nity Vet’s mission is to treat any animal, anywhere–starting with Maui. One year later, In nity Vet now provides a near-daily presence in Hāna, weekly in Lāhainā, and monthly on Molokaʻi. In nity Vet is embarking on one of the most daring commutes for any person, let alone an entire veterinary practice, from Hāna, Maui to Kamalō, Moloka’i, and back. Riding the Pailolo channel and Hana Highway regularly is the epitome of exemplifying determination to bring care to the animals of their home communities.“The hardest part of being a vet on Maui is being separated by distances – from where an animal resides to where the clinics are, and not being able to respond to an emergency on the other side,” said Dr. Krysta. In those instances, pet owners must operate by contacting other veterinary clinics across Maui county and often driving over 1-2 hours to receive the medical therapies their animals need. Any private pilots or air charters are encouraged to please reach out to In nity Vet to donate transportation services or establish a partnership to better provide regular veterinary care.Amidst the ever-rising cost of veterinary care across the USA, animals of Maui now have a veterinarian that will traverse over six hundred curves and waves to deliver not only the care, but also the funds to pay for their hospital bill. “In my career I have seen enough tragedy experienced by my patients that I made it my mission to ensure that neither I, nor my clients, need to worry about the cost of diagnostics or treatments.” In nity Vet raises funds through a partnered nonpro t, myBalto Foundation, used exclusively for their patient’s needs. In nity Vet has also created a solid relationship with Hana’s Animal Control Of cer, Sharon Jahns who operates through the Maui Humane Society, together ensuring that with their mutually unprecedented passion for animal care, the Hana District is blessed with regular, effective, affordable and accessible veterinary care.The 1st Annual One Health Fundraiser in February, made possible by Hāna Gardenlands, allowed In nity Vet to raise over $4,000 for animal care. To date, funds have been applied to heartworm and parvoviral testing for dogs, leukemia and immunode ciency virus testing for cats, emergency and essential dental and laceration repair surgeries for dogs and cats, as well as home care calls and examination fees for animals who otherwise cannot afford or access veterinary care. In nity Vet strives to put their clients and patients  rst, so the betterment of animal welfare may be had across Maui Nei and beyond.

Summer 2025 Hānaside News Page 9Hāna Canoe Club welcomes the community to come out and cheer on the racers this weekend! The Opening Ceremony begins at 8:00am on Saturday to start this special event. On Saturday, May 3rd, the fun begins with the Mitchell-Helm Distance Race. This is our ‘Ālau Island race, with multiple waves of canoes heading out from Kapueokahi (Hāna) Bay, down the coast, weather permitting, towards Koki and rounding the small island before heading back to Kapueokahi. We give awards to division winners after the races are complete. 1st Place Medals (pictured above) were made with aloha by Ma Ka Hana Ka ‘Ike. Then, Sunday, May 4, we continue the celebration with the Sarah Joe Memorial Regatta–hosting paddlers of all ages in short, 1/4 mile sprints, in the bay, and award an overall winner at the end of the day. The annual two-day celebration of paddling and fellowship honor those lost at sea; in 1979 the crew of Sarah-Joe with Ralph Malaiakini (27), Scott Moorman (27), Benjamin Kalama (38), Patrick Woessner (26), and Peter Hanchett (31), and in 1977 George Helm (26) and Kimo Mitchell (25). As one of the oldest canoe clubs on Maui, we are celebrating 49 years of paddling and building the relationship between our families and the ocean. Each participating canoe club is asked to bring a piece of their ʻĀina (land where their team resides) or Kūpuna (elders / ancestors) in their ʻUmeke (gourd, bowl or repository; vessel for holding water or offering). This offering can be physical or spiritual—whether it’s the Kai you hoe waʻa (Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddling) in, or something deeply meaningful from your Wahi Pana (celebrated and storied places in the cultural traditions of Hawai’i).Our club continues to provide programs and education about outrigger canoe paddling for keiki and adults and we encourage the whole family to participate in our year-round Hāna Canoe Club. As a non-prot 501(c)(3) organization, we rely on donations for much of our support and would greatly appreciate your kokua this year. We will be holding a silent auction on Saturday with loads of great offerings. On both days enjoy food and craft booths, featuring the Hāna School Agriculture Class, sponsored by Ma Ka Hāna Ka ‘Ike, selling ʻāina-based products like lotion, chapstick, and citronella sunscreen. Please come support the club and join da action! Paddlers get to take home all the owers that we use to decorate Hana Bay. To contact the Hāna Canoe Club email hanacanoeclub@gmail.com.

MISC conducts routine surveys downstream from known infestations to monitor potential LFA spread via waterways—an event most likely during heavy rain or ﬂ ooding.In this recent survey, downstream of the Kaʻelekū infestation,  ve distinct LFA locations were identi ed along the stream corridor, including a single sample collected at Kahanu Gardens.Kahanu Gardens has already been treated with ant bait. MISC conducted additional surveys at both Kahanu Gardens and Mahele Farms, with no further detections of LFA in those areas. MISC will continue to monitor to ensure eradication. Property owners in affected areas have been noti ed and are cooperating with MISC. Once surveys are  nalized, treatment will begin. Altogether, the total treatment area is under nine acres.Treatment continues at Kaʻelekū, Waikaloa, and Wākiu. Due to its very small size, the Kīpahulu site has already been eliminated and moved into a monitoring phase. Given that the environment in Hāna is ideal for little  re ants,  nding LFA early is critical to containment and eradication. MISC encourages residents to collect and submit samples to help  nd ants before they  nd you.

Summer 2025 Hānaside News Page 11Tips forEMERGENCY Preparation By Hawaiian ElectricAt Hawaiian Electric we are committed to providing you with reliable service and understand how essential electricity is to our everyday lives. However, during emergency situations power outages can occur and we want you to be prepared. With hurricane season upon us, we urge Hāna residents to consider taking these emergency preparedness steps today:• Place important documents, such as insurance papers, in waterproof bags or containers to keep dry.• Check emergency equipment, such as  ashlights, emergency generators, battery-operated (hand-crank or solar) radios, light sticks, and lanterns to be sure they are operational, and buy extra batteries as needed.• Stock up on non-perishable foods, medications, personal hygiene, sanitary and baby supplies to last at least 14 days. Pack a manual can opener and bottle opener.Be cautious if you use a portable generator. As a backup source of power, a small generator can come in handy, if used carefully.Before using a portable generator, be sure to read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Take precautions to avoid poisoning from the generator’s toxic exhaust and to prevent electric shock, electrocution, and  re.Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poison you cannot see or smell. That’s why you should never use a generator inside a home or garage. Only use the generator outside, away from your home’s windows, doors, and vents.Never plug a portable generator’s power into a household outlet because the electricity can back  ow into utility lines, creating a safety hazard for utility staff working on them. An auxiliary power generation system may only be safely connected to the house wiring using an approved power transfer switch. The transfer switch must be installed by a quali ed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable state and local electrical codes. For information and to submit electrical plans for our review, please contact us at ci@hawaiianelectric.com or call (808) 871-2390.We’ve also created a step-by-step Handbook on Emergency Preparedness to better prepare you and your family for an emergency. The Handbook for Emergency Preparedness is available online in English, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Ilocano, and Korean. Our keiki version of the handbook is also available to start the conversation and planning process early for everyone in your home. Check out these resources at www.hawaiianelectric.com.The time to prepare is now. We encourage you to download our free handbooks and start preparing today.Editor’s Note: The Maui Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) hosted an Emergency Preparedness Expo on April 12 with representatives from across the Paci c region providing information and support for community readiness and technical assistance, including educational materials like what Hawaiian Electric shares in this article, and the Hawaiian Cloud Chart.

Page 12 Hānaside News Summer 2025For the Love of LimuBy Nā Māmo o Mūʻolea / Group Photo By Jenny Yagodich, Reef Photos By Scott CrawfordOver the weekend of April 4th, more than 40 passionate community members from Hāna and across the Hawaiian Islands came together to celebrate and protect limu—Hawaiian seaweed—at four key locations along the beautiful East Maui Coast. Hosted by Nā Māmo o Mů’olea, the limu surveys carry forward the legacy of the beloved Hāna Limu Festival, which ran for 15 years before being put on hold. While the festival may be on pause, the limu surveys are thriving, continuing the important work of documenting and preserving Hāna’s coastal treasures.Volunteers gathered at Kīpahulu, Mūoʻlea, Maka‘alae, and Kapueokahi (Hāna Bay)—locations that remain relatively untouched and healthy compared to many other parts of Maui. Between 25 and 30 native limu species were identi ed at each site, highlighting the incredible diversity and abundance of these vital marine plants. Local residents, scientists, and cultural practitioners joined forces to survey and document these limu populations, blending traditional knowledge with modern science to better understand and protect this important resource.Limu plays a foundational role in Hawaii’s ecology, diet, and culture. In the ocean, it anchors the marine food web, sustaining herbivorous  sh and invertebrates such as ʻopihi. Traditionally, limu was the third essential component of a nutritionally balanced Hawaiian diet, alongside  sh and poi. While native limu add variety and  avor to the diet, they also contribute valuable vitamins and minerals. Today, native limu remain a common ingredient in local cuisine and an important element in traditional medicine and cultural protocols.As climate change and human activity continue to challenge coastal ecosystems, monitoring limu populations is more critical than ever. Fortunately, the shoreline of East Maui remains relatively pristine, making it a key location for these surveys.Claudia Kalaola, who organized the event, shared: “Limu is a part of who we are—it’s not just a resource, it’s a connection to the land and sea. These surveys are a way of honoring our kūpuna and ensuring future generations will continue to bene t from these gifts.”The Limu Hui is a network of limu practitioners and scientists across the pae ‘āina who gather together to share, preserve and restore limu knowledge, practice, and abundance. The love of limu—and the dedication to its protection—will continue to grow, ensuring Hana’s coastal treasures remain vibrant and thriving for generations to come.Mahalo to the Limu Hui and all the limu practitioners and scientists for supporting Maui Hikina in our efforts to understand and protect our precious limu. For more information on limu, visit muolea.org. If you’re interested in taking part in future limu surveys, email namamo@muolea.org.

Summer 2025 Hānaside News Page 13On March 25, Kīpahulu celebrated the one-year anniversary of the Community-Based Subsistence Fishing Area (CBSFA) rules going into effect for the Kīpahulu moku. Over the last year, the community established a Kīpahulu Makai Watch program, and new signage displaying the CBSFA rules has recently been erected at prominent spots in the area. The CBSFA designation in 2024 was the result of over a decade of grassroots community planning and engagement within the moku and across Maui and the state, led by the nonprot organization Kīpahulu ‘Ohana, Inc. (KOI). Since then, KOI has been working with the Division of Conservation and Resource Enforcement (DOCARE) and the Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) to design signage that complies with state regulations to notify users and visitors of the CBSFA rules. On March 12, KOI was joined by these agencies as well as Haleakalā National Park staff to install the signage at Alelele and Lelekea Bays and at the National Park campground. “We have had some incidents where it seems that the ability of DOCARE to enforce the rules is undermined if signage isn’t present, so we’re happy that after almost a year, we have been able to work with everyone to get the signs in place,” says Kamalei Pico, Executive Director for KOI. Kīpahulu has also established a Makai Watch program, which is part of a collaborative, statewide program where citizens and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) become directly involved with the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) in the management of marine resources through promoting compliance with rules and providing education and monitoring. The Makai Watch approach is based on the idea that people who use, deal with, or live closest to the natural and cultural resources are in the best position to help other users or visitors understand the nature and needs of the area. “The CBSFA establishes a co-management relationship between the community and the state agencies,” says Chanel Browne, Maui Makai Watch Coordinator with DLNR. “We recognize that only through a collaborative partnership can we effectively implement the CBSFA rules and protect the resources for shers to feed their families in a subsistence way, and pass along those practices to future generations. We hope that the Makai Watch program will aid the community in providing education to visitors and assist our ofcers in enforcing the rules of the Kīpahulu CBSFA .” The Kīpahulu CBSFA is located in the moku of Kīpahulu in East Maui along a 5.7-mile stretch of coastline from Kālepa to Pua‘alu‘u Gulch and extending seaward 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. Rules for the CBSFA are designed by the community in co-management with DAR to perpetuate, protect, and reafrm traditional and customary practices of that place for the purposes of Native Hawaiian subsistence, shing, and culture, as well as to better manage makai (ocean) resources. Kīpahulu ‘Ohana is only the third CBSFA in Hawai‘i, and joins the pioneering efforts of Hui Maka‘āinana o Makana in Hā‘ena, and Kalanihale.More information about the Kīpahulu CBSFA rules can be found at:https://www.kipahuluohana.org/cbsfaOpen Daily 7AM to 6PMPROPANE HOURSMon-Fri 8:00AM to 4:00PMSat-Sun 12PM to 3PMHāna Town Center1752 Mill Pl, Hāna, HI 96713808-248-7597Kīpahulu Celebrates CBSFA One-Year AnniversaryBy Kīpahulu ‘Ohana / Photos By Kīpahulu ‘Ohana

If an engine or mechanical device is knocking, tapping, or clicking, the problem originates from a reciprocating part. Reciprocating noise comes from a part going bad that moves up or down, in and out, or side to side, for example a piston, rod, rocker arms, or push rods inside an engine. If you hear a knocking noise, clunking, or feel vibration in your vehicle, those come from a part like the lower control arms, ball joints, or worn rubber bushings in the ends of sway bars or any rods that move pivotally under the vehicle.The next type of noise to hear is a rotational sound, from parts like a wheel, brake pads, bearing, axle, drive shaft,  ywheel, torque converter, engine crankshaft, water pump bearing, alternator, or steering pump. The rotating noise will be a whirr, squeak, or grind, and consistent each time the rotating component is used or in motion.If your engine does not start, runs but dies out, or sounds ok but loses power when driving, there are 3 issues that need to be addressed–in this order. 1. Fuel. Identify if there is fuel in the tank, in the fuel  lter, and coming out of the fuel tube going to the engine. 2. Fire. When there is no  re in the engine it will not run. Fire de ned by a mechanic means the fuel in the cylinder will not burn or explode on the compression stroke inside the cylinder to make the power. In a gasoline powered engine, a spark ignites the fuel in the cylinder, and this  re requires electrical energy.3. Compression. In a diesel engine on the compression stroke as the piston inside the cylinder is traveling upward, the air inside the cylinder begins to compress, and every pound of compression raises the temperature inside the cylinder and in proportion to the pressure as it builds up.For example, diesel fuel or any fuel has a point of heating when the fuel explodes without a spark, and this explosion is termed “spontaneous combustion” or “autoignition”. A diesel engine has a compression ratio of approximately 22 to 1. One in volume becomes twenty-two times smaller as the piston moves upward, and when it does, the heat generated from compressed air becomes the exact temperature to spontaneously combust the diesel fuel, approximately 410°F. A piston that is at its highest point inside the cylinder is referred to as Top Dead Center (TDC) and when it is at its lowest point in the cylinder it is said to be at Bottom Dead Center (BDC). TDC is a position where the piston is every other stroke of the engine crankshaft, a piston and all of the rotating components are timed to either TDC or BDC. A gasoline engine  res before top dead center and a diesel engine  res after top dead center.If we look at a 4-liter internal combustion engine which is approximately 244 cubic inches and we have 4 cylinders, each cylinder is 61 cubic inches. This means that each intake stroke of the cylinder sucks in 61 cubic inches of air and the piston ends up reducing that volume down to 2.77 cubic inches. At that point the diesel fuel auto ignites slightly after the piston’s TDC which has compressed the volume of air with fuel injected at each compression stroke of the diesel engine, ending up around 450 psi.An engine powered by gasoline or other fuels like propane or alcohol have the compression ratio required to become explosive with gasoline, is around 8 to 1 and ends up between 195 - 210 psi. A gasoline engine requires an electrical spark to ignite the gasoline or other fuel that ignites.Neither the diesel engine or the gasoline engine cylinder will  re without compression. If there is no  re in one or more cylinders the engine will not want to idle smoothly and will seem to vibrate more than usual. The key point to realize is that any engine in good shape mechanically, will idle smoothly and consistently without out of the ordinary noises.

Summer 2025 Hānaside News Page 15Nestled along Maui’s rugged coastline, the community of Kaupo has long been known for its resilience and natural beauty. However, living in such a remote paradise often meant facing isolation during emergencies like storms or earthquakes. Now, with the establishment of a new community hub, those concerns have been signicantly eased. This hub, powered by sustainable solar energy, ensures that the community stays connected even during extended power outages. This reliable energy source powers essential communication systems, allowing residents to remain informed and reach out for assistance whenever needed. In addition to power and communication, the hub provides a dependable water supply system, ensuring that the community has access to clean water during dry spells or emergencies. This infrastructure is vital for maintaining the well-being of residents, particularly during unexpected events like earthquakes that can disrupt normal services. A signicant highlight of the hub is its stocked medical supply station. Quick access to basic medical supplies can make a crucial difference in emergencies, whether it’s treating minor injuries or stabilizing someone until professional help arrives. This resource ensures that Kaupo is better prepared to handle medical crises without the delays that isolation can bring. The improved internet connectivity is another invaluable addition. In today’s world, reliable communication is essential, and this hub ensures that residents can stay in touch with loved ones, access vital information, and coordinate with emergency services more effectively. This new hub marks a transformative moment for Kaupo, symbolizing the community’s dedication to safety and connectivity. Residents now face the future with renewed condence, knowing they have the resources and infrastructure to remain secure and connected, no matter what challenges arise.These images show the new shelter that has been constructed at the Kaupo Community Center. The building itself has been constructed around two storage containers. In one, the solar powered water ltration system has been congured. There are two large water tanks that are lled from water captured from the rooftop, ready to serve the community. The large stand pipe is for re trucks to hook up to and pump the water from the non ltered water storage tank.

Page 16 Hānaside News Summer 2025In this initial presentation of the Hana Noʻeau (Art)feature column, we are familiarizing readers with the creative expression from one of Hana’s  nest artists, Kuniko Kato, working with a technique called “Kimekomi”. Kimekomi is an art form using antique kimono to create the scenes or images. She says her inspiration came one day when her husband took her to the top of Haleakala, and with that perspective she shared that, “the beauty of nature, so vivid to my eyes, the blues, greens, reds, and yellow, just came alive!”Born and raised in Nagoya, Japan. Kuniko’s in uence came from her father who was very knowledgeable in art . She grew up dancing ballet and playing the piano. Her art forms include calligraphy, watercolor, and oil painting. Kuniko moved to Hana 10 years ago. She has taught watercolor at the Hana Art Barn, and is currently working on her Kimekomi technique with her silk fabrics. Hanacoast Gallery is proud to be representing Kuniko’s artwork for the past ten years. Alesiamae Chow is the Managing Art Director and new Owner (since the beginning of 2024) of the Hana Coast Gallery, located at the Hāna-Maui Resort, after being the curator at the gallery for over 20 years. Find out more about the Hawaiian Artisans and Island Artists on the HanaCoast.com website.

This can be done by having it included as a requirement for their franchise renewal. We are asking for community support in this endeavor. To support our cause, copy the letter below, add the current date, your name, and email it to the DCCA (Department of Commerce & Consumer Affairs) at: cable tv@dcca.hawaii.gov:SAMPLE LETTER<DATE>Regarding: Request for Outage CompensationState of Hawai’i Department of Commerce and Consumer AffairsAttn: Nadine Y. Ando, DirectorAloha DCCA,As a business, it is understandable that Spectrum is motivated to increase income and decrease expenses. In rural communities where they are serving a small number of clients in a large area it is understandable for their need to keep maintenance costs down, but it should not come at the expense of the consumer. Currently Spectrum is allowed to apply charges for services they are not providing. Hāna is on a microwave dish that connects all customers and when that connection fails everyone in Hāna has to request credit for the outage. Very few choose to note the time of the outage and go through the process to seek credit. Those who do not request credit are paying for a service that they are not receiving. Being a large company with limited competition and self-protecting policies should not excuse unfair business practices, nor should geographic location or technical limitations. All customers should be treated equally and fairly. Compensation for poor service is only fair and should be the practice of a reputable business. With current technology Spectrum knows when the service is slow and when it is out for an entire area they shouldn’t have to be asked by every individual customer for fair compensation. Spectrum proﬁ ts by bringing in more customers, but there is little incentive for Spectrum to maintain quality service over a spread out base of customers. The best way to assure that Spectrum is maintaining quality service is to only allow them to charge the customer for the services that they have received. For franchise renewal Spectrum should be required to automatically give credit for a whole day when service is out for more than four hours. While the franchise renewal is for television we ask that it be extended to include the internet that customers in Hāna are dependent on for doing business. There needs to be an incentive for Spectrum to maintain the service that we paid for and this appears as the best way to do that.Sincerely,<YOUR NAME>,Hana District Spectrum Customer To  le this request as a complaint you can use the DCCA online form: https://hdcca.hawaii.gov/s/cable-television-complaintsTo access this information online, go to https://hanamaui.com/broadbandFor assistance contact Bill Sides Phone (808) 248-7758 or Email wrsides@hotmail.comHāna means to work, make, or do.

The fun adventure engages participants with a smorgasbord of offerings by leading kids around the activity booths where they  ll cards to successfully register for a variety of prizes and giveaways provided by our generous organizations through their representatives. The main organizer for this event is Kamalu Carroll, bringing her enthusiasm into the community as an active board member for both HCA and the Hāna Business Council (HBC).

Participants at the event include families who came home to Hāna with their keiki from throughout Maui Nei and other areas of Hawaiʻi. We look forward to seeing the whole ʻOhana again at this year’s event. Now in its fourth year, Wānanalua’s “kahu hui” (pastoral team) implementation in which four kahus lead the congregation each year, each in a different season. Kahu Peter Shober from Montana has been here four Winters, Kahu Sid Hall from Colorado three Springs, and Kahu Roxanne WhiteLight, who lives permanently in Wailuku, who has served as kahu as needed and provided important evaluative tools for the whole team over the last four years. This year we look forward to welcoming for the  rst time Kahu Peter Aguilar from Texas in the Summer and Kahu Audrey Ward from California in the Fall.The kahu hui model is proving to be a good model for ministry and is having a positive effect. The congregation knows it is loved and cared for by experienced kahus. The model also provides pastoral leadership as we welcome more children and young families into the church, and supports us as we begin a major renovation project to restore our beautiful and historic building.I ola ā iwi - The bones live. You can’t help but feel it as you wander through the Wānanalua cemetery  lled with the ancestors of many of our current church members, as you re ect on the legacy they have left us. They are alive in us and in Wānanalua’s commitment to be a loving and compassionate presence in Hāna now and into the future. Our motto for our restoration project is No Na Hanauna Nei - For the Generations. Our worship, our service to the community, our commitment to providing a safe space for Hāna’s keiki, even our new kahu hui–it is all for the generations.

Almost all of the commercial property, the ranch, hotel, town center, Hāna Ranch Store, the gas station and restaurant were all owned by one family. The one standout was Hasegawa General Store with Harry Hasegawa as proprietor. I had heard stories about the store and the song written about it. It was synonymous with Hāna. One story I recall was hearing that in the earlier years Harry and his father had provided food pickup for Kipahulu. When the morning school bus came in from Kīpahulu, the bus would stop at Hasegawas and the kids would drop their families’ lists off. At the end of the school day the bus would pick up the orders to bring back home with the kids. Harry was always looking for ways to provide for the community. When the hotel project was going on he was instrumental in stocking the materials and tools that the workers would need. It was such a loss for the community when, in 1990, the store burned down. Harry was a mover and shaker in town - a good man who I am glad to have known!Sharing memories across a lifetime of friendships…PC: Neil HasegawaIN MEMORY OF Harr Hasegaw1934 -2024Bob Carroll – I was lucky enough to know Harry, and I  rst met him when he came back to Hāna after serving in the Army. He ended up working in Hasegawa Store to help his father and he ended up working there for the rest of his life. He was involved in Hāna in every way; he was one of the original people helping Dr. Howell to start the Hāna Maui Trust to assist people in Hāna who needed education, help with medical expenses, or other assistance. He was deeply involved and supported many organizations and families. I am really going to miss him, he was a big part of our community. Aloha!Dan Omer – I have many fond memories of my friendship with Harry, his subtle sense of humor, his imaginative of ce  ling system that only he understood, and his deep commitment to the community of Hāna. One very sharp memory: In 1995, after a Hāna community meeting chaired by the director of the Department of Health, Harry was most concerned to learn that the State planned to close Hāna Medical Center in 1996. Seeking an alternative solution Harry spoke with the director, who arranged a meeting for Harry with the president of the Hawaii Senate regarding the community’s concerns, and I was fortunate to join Harry for that meeting. It was a productive meeting and, following the meeting, Harry and I sat in the gallery to observe the Senate in session. To Harry’s great surprise the president of the Senate introduced Harry to the full Senate, all of whom gave him a standing ovation, acknowledging his commitment to the Hāna community and his family’s generational history within the Hāna community. Harry was shocked but, being Harry, he never shared this experience with anyone – including his children.Cheryl Vasconcellos – Harry was a visionary and a critical thinker. He looked at every problem from all angles, always looking for the best solution possible. He had the foresight to understand how Hāna would be impacted by changes in the state’s health care system and took the bold steps necessary, along with Robert Carroll and Dan Omer to assure that Hāna would always have access to critical health care services. He was a  erce advocate for the Hāna community and will be greatly missed.Editor’s Note: If you would like to hear “The Hasegawa General Store” song performed by Hawaiʻi Calls Orchestra & Chorus & Pua Almeida (written by Paul Weston, 1961) go to: https://hasegawastore.com/REPRINT from WINTER 2024

Through countless practices and competitive games, I discovered my passion for teamwork and perseverance, shaping who I am today. Despite the challenges, I cherish the memories made on and off the court, each one a stepping stone toward my future.My goals in life are to attend college, where I can pursue my passion for playing basketball at the collegiate level. I also aspire to become a teacher, sharing my knowledge and inspiring the next generation. By balancing my academic and athletic pursuits, I hope to create a positive impact both on and off the court.Callie WilliamsAloha my name is Meleana and I’m honored to be featured in the senior spotlight. During my high school years I maintained an approximate GPA of 4.0. One of my favorite memories in high school was being involved with student government and having the opportunity to play sports. Traveling island to island with a team is an experience like no other, especially when we win. After high school I plan on going to college. My end goal is to go into law school for corporate law, then eventually become a lawyer. Thank you to everyone who’s supported me along the way. I look forward to making an impact.Meleana KurokawaREPRINT from WINTER 2024Namahanaokealaula SmithMy high school experience was a rollercoaster. Going into high school I never realized how fast everything would go by. In my freshman year, I made friends with everyone, played sports, and did not know what I wanted to do. Going through my sophomore and beginning of junior year I feel like it was the same thing, just goo ng off not thinking of what I wanted to do and focusing on the things that don’t matter. Towards the end of junior year, I realized the importance of putting myself  rst at school because no one is doing it for me and will push me to be better. I took time and started researching to  nd something that sparked my interest, something I wanted to put work into becoming. To be honest, I didn’t like anything I came across. Then I started doing lashes and nails as a hobby and ended up really enjoying it. Now I am a full-time student and athlete, I work two jobs to help save up and get ready to go to IBS School of Cosmetology and Massage Maui Campus to become a certi ed nail and lash technician. I still have a lot of work and research to do but I’m happy to have my priorities straight and goals to work towards.J-Lah SinenciRaised in Hāna, and being able to grow up with the same people from bebbeh days to now, is such an underrated privilege that I am so thankful for. School has taught me so much, but one thing I’ll always remember and carry with me is to live your life with purpose and that there is so much more to the world. Through my years at Hāna High and Elementary, I’ve learned the importance of respect, kindness, and responsibility. Our nurturing school encourages us to embrace our cultural heritage and to contribute positively to our community, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose. These experiences have instilled in me a strong moral compass and commitment to making a meaningful impact in the world. After high school, my primary goal is to move to the Big Island and attend a trade school to gain specialized skills in my chosen  eld. I believe that hands-on training and practical experience will provide a strong foundation for my career. Additionally, I plan to start investing early to set myself up for long-term  nancial success. By making smart investments and  nancial decisions, while focusing on my education, I aim to build a stable and prosperous future for myself. This path will not only help me achieve my professional aspirations but also ensure that I am well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities ahead.SENIOR SPOTLIGHT Class of 2025
