"We do not belong on this mountain, this is sacred land. We don't want your jobs. This is all about tourism and not about helping the community," said Melissa Allen.

OK no problem...

PGA Tour leaders have not yet renewed the Sony Open for next year and the Sentry golf tournament was cancelled this year due to a shortage of water in Kapalua.

"The tournament on Maui in Kapalua has a $50 million economic impact," said Mufi Hannemann, president and CEO of the Hawaii Lodging and Tourism Association. "The Sony Open in a good year could be a $100 million."

That's in addition to the invaluable marketing of Hawaii.

"It is one of the busiest booking days as people are in January," said Keith Vieira, founder of KV & Associates Hospitality Consulting. "It's freezing where they're at they're watching four days of sunny golf in Hawaii."

The competitions also benefit local nonprofits, giving a million dollars each in charitable contributions, not to mention attracting thousands of spectators.

"So to lose these two events would be a very devastating blow," Hannemann added.

This comes as Hawaii tourism suffers blow after blow with visitor numbers lagging because of rising costs and political uncertainty.

And with more golf events to compete with in other locations -- it's an uphill battle.

"When you add to the fact that if this should cancel that we've got basically no marketing dollars going on -- less than 30 million -- that happens in the marketplace, it's just going to make things worse and worse," Vieira said.

“These medical decisions should be left to individuals and their doctors, not from the government, outside states, or the courts,” said Donavan Kamakani Albano, ACLU Hawaii Policy Fellow. “This is about the fundamental right to bodily autonomy. This is about restoring a vital part of Hawai‘i’s cultural and genealogical integrity. And this is about community safety where every person in Hawai‘i is free to grow and live without fear.”

Transportation leaders said they are looking at adding raised crosswalks, speed tables, and dedicated bicycle lanes while also promoting public transportation.

OahuMPO executive director Mark Garrity said, “It pays off in the long run by more people using transit, by more people walking and bicycling. We can achieve that here and that will make our streets safer for everyone.”

Political Discussion / making public schools ono again!

« on: January 08, 2026, 08:01:54 PM »

https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2026/01/09/150m-kitchen-project-looks-expand-locally-sourced-school-meals/

The state’s plan to transform school lunch operations reaches a major milestone later this month.

On Jan. 29, construction begins on a $150 million regional kitchen project in Central Oahu’s Whitmore Village.

The kitchen is expected to open in June 2027 and, once fully operational, is designed to serve up to 60,000 meals a day to more than 80 public schools statewide.

However, officials say the rollout will begin on a smaller scale.

General Discussion / we need mean machete laws...

"Machete is very common weapon. You know, drug dealers, homeless, they use it for protection," said Chu Lan Shubert-Kwock, founder of the Chinatown Business & Community Association. "That's why we need to really address the drug problem."

Despite the city installing dozens of cameras and businesses investing in their own surveillance systems and security teams: "A lot of it, you know, it goes unreported because the mentality now is in Chinatown, is why bother calling if nothing's going to be done? So when you do call, they get arrested and the next day they're out," Long said.

Watched this vid of a CA bike shop owner talk about BMX jams and how it changed. I remember when there were surf shop freestyle jams at Pearlridge where Toys R Us was. We'd go. Get motivated and supported the surf shops by buying clothes and accessories. We'd go to the bike shops and bought parts. Now its about going to jams and getting the free stuff. And this behavior is not isolated to the BMX industry but across the country.
