Maile Waipa Carr and Nalani Kekaula conducted an oral history project, interviewing 15 kupuna (elders) from Kalapana over a three year period. The book was published in 2012, and Maile is promoting the book at local community events. I caught up with her at the SPACE Artist’s and Farmer’s Market in Kalapana Sea View Estates recently.
Recently opened at 684 Kilauea Avenue, Restaurant Kenichi is treating Hilo residents to a food fad that has already taken over other parts of the islands and the U.S. Mainland: ramen. The most popular of these ramen dishes is the miso ramen. Friends and family talked up a storm about Restaurant Kenichi, so I finally decided that I had to try it for myself.
For many residents of lower Puna, visiting the SPACE Farmer's Market is a Saturday morning ritual.
Waa Waa is a beautiful rural community in Lower Puna located between Hawaiian Shores Recreational Estates and the corner of Hwy 132 and Hwy 111 (Kapoho). I remember when my wife and I moved there in 1972 and there was only one other home in the area. This is a small community of approximately 228 lots with the majority of them being 3.44 acres. 50 of these lots are located close to the shoreline. Because there is a thin strip of land that runs the length of the shoreline in this subdivision that is owned by the community, these lots are not technically ocean front but for all practical principles they are.
Hawaii passed legislation that went into effect in Jan 1, 2010 and required all new single-family homes in the state to be equipped with solar water heaters. Is this a GREAT LEGISLATION or what?
Growing up in Hawaii is really a special thing. There are so many unique experiences that can only be had here! One of those experiences is camping at Namakanipaio (Bird Park) in Hawaii Volcano National Park.
Last May, Andrew, my beloved cat of seven years, disappeared from my family's home in Hawaii Kai. We searched for him for weeks, making daily visits to the Hawaii Humane Society and hoping that his microchip would assist in Andrew's return home. But with every trip to HHS, our faith in his homecoming was weakened by disappointed heartbreak. Until finally we began to accept he might be gone.
