Kumu Hula Debbie Ryder's Hālau Hula O Leionalani, celebrating George Na‘ope and Mary Kawena Pukui. |
HAWAIIAN, SAMOAN, FILIPINO, JAPANESE AND MEXICAN CULTURE came together today during the annual Ho‘okupu Hula No Ka‘ū Festival at Pāhala Community Center. Organizer Kumu Hula Debbie Ryder told the crowd throughout the day and evening that during these times it is "aloha, love and forgiveness" that are important. She said she and the community celebrate the cultural diversity of Ka‘ū and the welcome hearts of Ka‘ū people who take in visitors from afar.
Dancers traveled to Ka‘ū from Mexico, Virginia, Japan and other Hawaiian places. University of Hawai‘i's Samoan and Filipino dancers joined in.
Lorie Lei Shirakawa, hula sister to Ryder and long time kumu in Ka‘ū, brought in students from her home in Hilo. She brought her Ka‘ū members who recently excelled in the island wide Kūpuna hula competition.

Local community groups raised money and put forth their missions. The Ka‘ū High School Culinary Club, mentored by ‘Āina Akamu, provided pork plates to bring in funding for a culinary educational trip to Japan next year. The journey will offer the opportunity for a number of students from Ka‘ū to travel, most of them signing up for passports for the first time.
Donations can be made to Ka‘ū High.
A reforestation group urged people to plant trees and to pick up native seedings on Arbor Day, next April. Representatives of the Kahuku Unit of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park promoted their educational presentations, events and hikes.
Hawaiian cultural practitioners presented many skills, from building rock walls and grass houses to making drums and using native Hawaiian plants for healing.

THE NEW VACATION RENTAL BILL FROM THE COUNTY COUNCIL MOVED FORWARD THIS WEEK.
Hawai‘i Life, a real estate company, broke it down for property owners, saying, "it is certain some version of this bill will be passed by the end of this year."
Ka‘ū High School Culinary Club members, raising money today, to travel on a culinary education adventure to Japan next year. |
Hawaiilife.com explains it this way:
"The bill applies to 'unhosted' rentals, where the owner does not live on site. That means the property is a second home, vacation home, or investment property.
"Hotel, resort, and commercial zonings expressly allow short term rentals. The focus of this bill is to limit vacation rentals on homes in residential and agricultural districts.
"All short term vacation rentals must register. The proposed fee is now $500.
"Existing rentals that are a non-conforming use, meaning in zoning that does not allow them, are eligible to be 'grandfathered.' They will be allowed to continue to operate under certain conditions. In order to obtain the non-conforming use certificate, they must show evidence of rental history, that

"The non-conforming use certificate will transfer to a new owner, as long as annual renewals have kept it current.
"To conform with state land use designation, special use permits will not be issued for short term accommodations in farm dwellings (which is technically what homes and guest houses in agricultural districts are considered)."
The restriction on agricultural property is of particular concern to vacation rental owners in Wood Valley, Ocean View and Volcano where the zoning is agriculture.
