MOST BACKCOUNTRY TRAILS AND CAMPSITES in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park will reopen tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 19. Other parts of the park reopened last month following a record 134-day closure during hazardous volcanic and seismic activity on Kīlauea Volcano and some six weeks of safety assessments and repairs.
The remote coastal campsite destinations of Halapē, Ka‘aha, Keauhou, and ‘Āpua Point will open Friday, and are reached via the rugged Puna Coast Trail and Keauhou Trail. In the East Rift Zone of Kīlauea Volcano, Nāpau campsite and the Nāpau and Nāulu trails will also open.
Water levels in the catchment tanks at Halapē, Ka‘aha, and Keauhou are full. Nāpau and ‘Āpua Point do not have water tanks.

Chief Ranger John Broward said, "We are excited to reopen popular areas of the coastal backcountry, and we're happy to report there was little impact to campsites and trails along the coast. However, projects to clear brush along trails were delayed due to recent seismic activity, and hikers may find it difficult to navigate pathways that connect coastal sites. The trail crew will continue to improve these areas, but in the meantime, hikers should be prepared for a rough and challenging journey."
Broward added that Pepeiao Cabin and the Ka‘ū Desert Trail past the Footprints shelter will remain closed until trail maintenance and further assessments can be made.
Permits are required for all overnight backpacking and camping. The park's backcountry permit office is open daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Learn how to prepare for backcountry treks and how to get a backcountry permit at nps.gov/havo/planyourvisit/hike_bc.htm.

NWS reported the heaviest rains in Nāʻālehu, Pāhala, Wood Valley Mauna Loa , including the Pōhakuloa Training Area and Waikoloa.
The annual meeting of Friends of the Kaʻū Libraries at Pāhala Plantation House was postponed after one attendee's car fishtailed twice while crossing Kāwā Flats, on her way from Nāʻālehu to Pāhala, and a local librarian decided she needed to make it home to Volcano before flooding increased. By sundown, however, the storm settled, leaving rushing streams and waterfalls for anyone to see.

NO TAX RELIEF WILL BE PROVIDED TO VOLCANO FOR DISASTER that shut down Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park's main entrance and brought cancellations at accommodations and a steep drop in business at restaurants and other area businesses. The County Council made a final decision yesterday on the proposal that would have given a six-month property tax relief to Volcano and Pāhoa businesses harmed by recent earthquakes and lava flows. The conclusion was that businesses island wide suffered and particular geographic areas could not be favored over others.
The county did provide more than $3 million in property tax relief for some 750 property owners with houses destroyed by lava flow and many more properties inaccessible by lava cutting off their roads. The number of properties with zero property taxes for this fiscal year total more than 6,800 in the disaster area. None of those properties are in Volcano where earthquakes shook houses and businesses many times daily but did not make them unlivable nor isolated.

Civic participation "is a key ingredient of a well-functioning democracy," says the study, "and voter turnout is one measure of the public's trust in government. But there's evidence to suggest a growing lack of political engagement among Americans."
The District of Columbia rated highest, with a score of 79.19, with Hawaiʻi just 1.2 above New Mexico at 23.08. Hawaiʻi ranks lowest in percentage of registered voters in the 2016 Presidential election, and lowest percentage of registered persons voting in that election.
Presidential elections tend to get citizens more energized than midterms. In 2016, a record 137.5 million Americans voted. That number only accounts for 61.4% of the voting-age population. The numbers are much worse for midterms. In 2014, for instance, 15 of the first 25 statewide primary elections reported record-low voter turnouts. Nationwide, only 36.4% of all eligible voters voted.
Only 21.7 percent of Hawaiʻi residents aged 18 to 24 are considered "engaged" by the study, leaving Hawaiʻi with a rank of 41st lowest. Residents aged 65 and above are considered "engaged" at 60.3 percent, leaving Hawaiʻi's elderly population's engagement rank at 46th lowest. Among developed nations, the U.S. is rank 26 of 32 when it comes to voter turnout. "That's no surprise," says the study, "considering most states don't emphasize civic education in their schools. Large proportions of the public fail even simple knowledge tests such as knowing whether one's state requires identification in order to vote."
Of the factors that affect participation rates, income is an important one, with "implications on both voter turnout and public policy." In the 2016 election, only 41.4% of registered voters with family incomes of under $10,000 voted. In comparison, 80.3% of those with family incomes of $150,000 or more voted. |
