TROPICAL DEPRESSION OLIVIA, almost 500 miles away from the islands this evening, left a tail of rain, swelling streams in Kaʻū and some thunderstorms in Kona. On Oʻahu, some 10,000 residents received a warning they might have to evacuate their homes should Nuʻuanu Reservoir dam overflow. This evening, public officials called off the emergency as pumps continue to reduce the water level in the reservoir.
On Maui, some residents returned to flooded valleys where some taro farms, homes and cars washed away. Gov. David Ige received disaster declaration approval from the federal government before Hurricane Olivia arrived as a Tropical Storm, crossing Maui and Lanaʻi yesterday.

WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THE GENERAL ELECTION, CANDIDATES HAVE TO BE CAREFUL TO REPORT ADS FOR THEIR CAMPAIGNS within 24 hours after buying them. The rule, only recently enforced, applies to all ads purchased after a candidate spends more than $2,000 in the calendar year.
![]()
For the August Primary Election, dozens of candidates, including Kaʻū contenders Rep. Richard Onishi, Jeanné Kapela, and Brenda Ford, were penalized. Ford was strapped with $250, Kapela with $166.67, and Onishi with $583.33. Eleven other Hawaiʻi candidates on the ballot in Hawaiʻi County were charged fines, with Sen. Lorraine Inouye levied a $3,333.33 penalty. In total, more than 80 candidates statewide were fined for the Primary.
Executive Director of the state Campaign Spending Commission, Kristin Izumi-Nitao, told West Hawaiʻi Today that the commission made every effort to educate candidates about the rule, with some 100 first-time candidates running in the Primary Election.
The commission is accepting settlements from candidates, reducing the fine by two thirds for first time offenders, and half for second time offenders, according to the West Hawaiʻi Today story.
Another rule, with enforcement beginning on Aug. 20, requires that all candidate committees and non-candidate committees, including Super PACs and ballot issue committees, place advertisement disclaimers on all advertising, including postcards, brochures, signs and banners. Failure will result in an administrative fine.
A statement from the Campaign Spending Commission explains: "By law, any political advertisement that is broadcast, televised, circulated, published, distributed, or otherwise communicated, including by electronic means, shall: (1) Contain the name and address of the candidate, candidate committee, noncandidate committee, or other person paying for the advertisement; (2) Contain a notice in a prominent location stating either that the advertisement has not been approved by the candidate or has the approval and authority of the candidate (unless the advertisement was paid for by a candidate, candidate committee, or ballot issue committee); and (3) Not contain false information about the time, date, place, or means of voting."

The rule applies to newspaper, television, and radio ads, mailers, and internet ads, including boosted Facebook posts. They all must be reported to the commission within 24 hours in the 30 days before a Primary and the 60 days before a General Election. Each ad can acquire a $500 fine if not filed for within 24 hours of placing the ad, and $250 if filed late, no matter how small the cost of the purchase - sometimes only a few dollars for a boosted Facebook post.

U.S. REP. TULSI GABBARD CONDEMNED THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION today, speaking on the House floor, calling on Congress to condemn the administration's protection of al-Qaeda in Idlib , Syria
Gabbard said: "Two days ago, President Trump and Vice President Pence delivered solemn speeches about the attacks on 9/11, talking about how much they care about the victims of al-Qaeda's attack on our country. But they are now standing up to protect the 20,000 to 40,000 al-Qaeda and other jihadist forces in Syria, and threatening Russia, Syria, and Iran with military force if they dare attack these terrorists.
"This is a betrayal of the American people, especially the victims of al-Qaeda's attack on 9/11 and their families, first responders, and my brothers and sisters in uniform who have been killed or wounded in action and their families. For the President, who is Commander in Chief, to act as the protective big brother of al-Qaeda and other jihadists must be condemned by every Member of Congress."

Earlier this year, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard questioned Secretary of Defense James Mattis on President Trump's lack of authority to attack Syria without Congressional authorization. To date, Syria does not pose a direct threat to the United States , and Congress has not authorized the use of force or declared war against the Syrian Government, contends the statement from Gabbard.

ALLISON LEIALOHA MILHAM IS SEPTEMBER ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE at Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, a program held in collaboration with The National Parks Arts Foundation.

Milham is a professional musician, who also has an advanced degree in book arts from The University of Alabama. "She has combined these two areas in an unusual project combining research, printing, bookbinding, and recordings of the compositions of Hawai‘i’s beloved last Queen," states the release from Hawai‘i Volcanoes. Milham's record and letterpress printed project, Uluhaimalama: Legacies of Lili‘uokalani, is a selection of some of the 200 compositions that Lili‘uokalani and others composed while under house arrest and smuggled out.
For her public event, Milham plans on playing some of her own music as well as the Queen's, accompanied by the ‘ukulele and her keyboard. This event is free and open to the public. For more, call 985-6000.
While at the park, Milham says she will focus mostly on songwriting, states the release. "My goal will be to complete three to four new songs, which will eventually be released as a seven song record with accompanying hand printed and bound artwork," Milham says. "Though my focus will be on the songwriting, I think I'll also be inspired to do some sketching and mockups of the design while immersed in the beauty of the park and my experience being there."
Milham's work is held in multiple public collections including Yale University Arts Library and The Library of Congress, and is represented by Vamp & Tramp Booksellers and Brooklyn in New York City.
The Artist In Residence program is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, Friends of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, and other generous benefactors. The National Park Arts Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to the promotion of the national parks through creating dynamic opportunities for artwork based in the natural and historic heritage of America. All National Park Arts Foundation programs are made possible through the philanthropic support of donors. Visit nationalparksartsfoundation.org for details.
