The measure to fund schools through investment property taxes is on the ballot, but was recently set aside by the Hawaiʻi Supreme Court. Voters can cast their opinions but they will not count, and the Hawaiʻi Legislature is expected to take up the issue in 2019.
Two county charter questions are also on the ballot.
West Kaʻū's state Senatorial race is to replace Lt. Gov. candidate John Green. The candidates are Democrat Dru Kanuha and Libertarian Michael Last.

The ballot asks voters two questions about amendments to the Hawaiʻi County Charter: the first question asks how the public should be notified of salary increases for elected and appointed officials. The second question asks if the public should be made aware of the fiscal impacts of amendments to the County Charter
The question asking whether a Constitutional Convention should be called requires a majority of "yes" votes in order to pass. See more at elections.hawaii.gov.

RAPID ʻŌHIʻA DEATH FUNGUS-DETECTING DOG may help in the fight to save the endemic trees from being wiped out, say articles from Big Island Video News and West Hawaiʻi Today. Cobra, a Belgian Malinois, is "an effective detector of Rapid ‘Ōhi‘a Death, officials say." She has been trained with the scent of the fungus, without the smell containing the pathogen that causes spread of the disease.

Dr. Susan Cordell of the US Forest Service explained, during a demonstration of the dog's skill last week, "Cobra over here has been really a quick learner, and has quickly shown us that she can detect Rapid ‘Ōhi‘a Death." The project, by scientist Kealoha Kinney of the Institute of Pacific Island Forestry Florida for about a year. That group has trained dogs to sniff out a fungus that is affecting avocado trees; the pathogens are similar.
Kinney said it's "like creating an ʻōhiʻa guard dog."
ROD has spread to hundreds of thousands of acres of native ‘ōhi‘a forests on Hawai‘i Island over the past few years, and was detected on Kaua ʻi in May .
The project was funded by Hawaiʻi Department of Agriculture, led by USFS's Institute of Pacific Island Forestry Florida International University

Binasuan involves the dancer, usually a woman, gracefully performing a dance – from simple to complex – while holding a glass half-full of rice wine in each hand, and with one balanced atop her head. The dancer's skill is determined by her ability to not spill any wine, and not drop any of the three glasses, during her performance. The dancer performs to fast-paced music, turning, rolling, and spinning. Other elements are sometimes introduced, such as weights on the feet, to increase the difficulty and show the heightened skill of the dancer.
