06 / 17 (event) Important Koke`e Meeting (Notice Date Change) Start: 5:00 pm End: 7:00 pm Aloha friends and ohana, Thursday June 17th, 5:00 pm, Moikeha Building, Rooms 2A & 2B. Next to the DMV Office in Lihue. Please put it on your calendar, and plan to attend this critical public meeting. Kauai’s Governor’s Community Advisory Council will be holding a meeting at that time, for the specific purpose of addressing HB 2872 which is currently sitting on Governor Lingle’s desk, awaiting her signature. This is the ‘Kokee bill’. Here’s the link to the actual text of this bill so you can read it for yourself: http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2008/Bills/HB2872_CD2_.htm But let me summarize (and explain) it briefly. There are 3 critical aspects to House Bill 2872: 1) All current Kokee leaseholders will get an opportunity to obtain new long-term leases at re-negotiated lease rents. 2) There will be an auction for all other available cabins and vacant lots, giving preference to Kauai fulltime residents. 3) A Citizen’s Advisory Council will be formed, consisting of 9 members from Kauai’s community and 4 non-voting ‘experts’. This Council will help direct how issues pertaining to Kokee are addressed. The unfortunate choices made by the DLNR in 1985 do not have to be repeated. We do not need to lose more beloved Kokee cabins to an ill-conceived auction. The current Kokee cabin community provides lodging and ‘connection’ to a huge network of local families, and this needs to be preserved. The accumulated knowledge, relationships, commitment, passion and more info

06 / 20 (event) Free Showing: The 11th Hour Start: 6:30 pm End: 8:00 pm PLEASE BRING MATS AND/OR BEACH CHAIRS TO SITE ON Kauai Community College Cordially invites You to attend a free outdoor exhibition of: "THE 11th HOUR" NYT Critics' Pick Sponsored by Apollo Kauai & Sierra Club Kauai When: Friday, June 20th '08 at 6:30 pm Where: KCC Outdoor Screen Next to Campus Cafeteria Q & A with Hawaii's Experts before & after Film The 11th Hour interviews a variety of world experts explore how humanity has arrived at the current convergence of environmental crises while exploring steps that people can take to avert global disaster. In summary, the earth is nearing meltdown, beyond climate change. Forests have undergone major destruction. The ocean is becoming stagnant. Almost everywhere, the soil itself is largely damaged. In addition, 50,000 species a year are becoming extinct; no ecosystem can be identified as improving. Humans suffer from increasing numbers of diseases caused by pollution. At fault is the overproduction of non-sustainable manufactures, immense waste and destruction, and an unsupportable population. The primary cause for much of the crisis is the fuels we use, petroleum being the primary one. Within this century, if nothing effective is achieved, planetary damage will be dramatic and total in every area. Although impossible to predict, extreme disaster could be quick once the balance is decisively tipped in the wrong direction, and it will happen everywhere. more info
