Hawaiian Civic Club of Kaʻū cancelled in person meetings and conducted business for the remainder of 2020 via email and phone calls. Members also attended the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs Annual Convention virtually for the first time in November 2020, meeting via Zoom to conduct convention business and voting on related matters over the course of two weekends.
In December 2020, Hawaiian Civic Club of Kaʻū held its biannual election for its Executive Board. Newly elected officers for 2021 - 2022 are: President Berkeley Yoshida, Vice-President Kaihilani Ke, Secretary ʻĀina Akamu, Treasurer Moana DeLeon, and Directors Jeanette Howard, Nadine Ebert, and Halani Berard.
Yoshida said the new Board quickly adapted. In January 2021, the Civic Club launched a new website to communicate more easily with members and the community, and to provide an easy online form to join.
Monthly membership meetings are still held on the third Thursday of at 6:30 p.m. However, all meetings for 2021 will take place virtually via Zoom. Monthly meeting dates and information to join the Zoom meetings are on the Hawaiian Civic Club of Kaʻū website. Annual membership dues are $20 per calendar year for adults, and $5 per calendar year for youth ages 5-17.
Yoshida says that "an integral part of the Civic Club is to provide scholarships for those who are seeking further education. The scholarship application for the 2021-2022 school year is now posted on our website." Deadline to apply is April 30.
"We welcome all members of our community who support our mission: Hoʻomalu, Hoʻomau, Hoʻopiʻi, Mālama," says Yoshida. "If you would like to join, share or present at a meeting, or support the Hawaiian Civic Club of Kaʻū, please contact us via our email or through our website. Mahalo nui loa e mālama pono!"

The plan to put 77 acres of neighborhood into industrial solar on lots between homes makai of Ocean View remains on the PUC docket, with opposition still in place. Photo by Annie Bosted |
The Shanghai-based SPI company's plan is on the PUC docket. SPI bought the project from American investors who purchased lots throughout the community and planned to cover each one with wall-to-wall solar farms, using a Feed-In-Tarrif incentive program, which, at the time, allowed for higher pricing for clean energy like solar.
The investigation has been in progress since August 2016 when two Ocean View residents filed a complaint saying Hawaiian Electric was mis-managing the Feed-In Tariff program when it came to SPI's industrial size, 77 acres of solar panels that would be installed in residential communities. Eighteen three-acre lots would have been used in Ranchos, 20 one-acre lots would have been used in Kona South and one three acre lot in Kulakai, At that time, the PUC Chairman placed a hold on the project pending an investigation of the complaint.
To support SPI, HELCO planned to build a new substation on land owned by the Ranchos Road Maintenance Corp. on the west side of the Kohala gate. The installation on each lot and the substation would be surrounded by high fences, including barbed wire and adorned with signage reading “Danger”, “Keep Out” and “High Voltage.”
Ocean View residents opposing the project said they are convinced that solar installations on empty lots between their homes would change the character of their rural community to become an industrial dominated neighborhood. Thousands of Ka'ū residents signed a petition against the project, several meetings were held, including one with the PUC, and elected officials came out against the project.

One of the complainants, Peter Bosted, explained this new twist to The Ka'ū Calendar. “The FIT program was intended to kick-start Hawaii’s acquisition of solar projects so that the state could ween itself of oil-burning generators. As an incentive, the PUC set the rate of compensation to be incredibly generous - 23.6 cents per KiloWatt hour to be exact.
"Nowadays solar farms, with battery storage, are being proposed for 8 cents, or 9 cents or 10 cents per KiloWatt hour. This makes the Ocean View project into an enormous cash cow for SPI. Conversely, it will be a huge, and totally unnecessary expense for the island’s rate payers for the next 20 years. From a purely value-for-money standpoint, this project should be stopped. Its like we are paying inflated rates for a state-of-the art technology, and then getting the worst dinosaur imaginable.
“However, the PUC is now looking at our complaint from a different angle,” continued Bosted. “They have asked us to compare the Ocean View project with one that was proposed for Oʻahu back in 2011. At that time a developer wanted to qualify for the lucrative FIT program by sub-dividing a 500-acre lot into many lots, each with a TMK, and then building an FIT project on each lot. HECO referred the case to the PUC. The PUC held that although this arrangement would meet the “one TMK, one project” rule, it had

“We hope that the PUC will see through this very thin disguise and see how the shell companies are repeatedly represented, en masse, by SPI employees and HELCO engineers as though this is one giant project. We are hoping that the PUC will conclude that this project should never have been admitted to the FIT program.”
“SPI can still propose the project, but it would have to be competitively bid,” added Bosted.
