Those wanting to dispose of vehicles must bring their Certificates of Title. To receive a copy of title, contact a county Vehicle Registration and Licensing office. Applications for the collection event must be submitted by July 10. Applications are available at https://www.hawaiizerowaste.org/recycle/automotive/.

EIGHT KAʻŪ HIGH SCHOOL AGRI-PRENEURS recently earned their OSHA-10 Safety Certification with a special focus on Agriculture Safety. Students spent ten hours learning about safety topics, including history and purpose of OSHA, workers safety rights and responsibilities, how to read and understand Safety Data Sheets, how to safely handle chemicals and other hazardous materials, operate machinery, and use proper Personal Protective Equipment.
The Kaʻū students passed the safety exam with a minimum score of 70 percent to earn this industry certification. The first two students to earn this credential were Amelia Bounos-Uribe, who is entering her senior year as creator of Mana'olana Butters, and Kamalani Tuifagu, also entering the senior class and creator of a new line of jewelry, along with garlic aoli and a honey mustard. Both said they look forward to continuing their learning in the Agri-preneurship Academy of the new Kaʻū
Global Learning Lab.
Several of the students met First Lady Dawn Ige
when she visited the school campus last Friday. Ige chairs the Advisory Board of the Learning Lab.
"I am excited to continue to grow my business, Manaʻolana Butters, and develop new products and offerings using locally grown ingredients," said Bounos-Uribe, of Ocean View. Tuifagu, who is from the South Point area and brother to the owner of Honua Coffee, shares that "this year I was able to start a line of jewelry inspired by the natural beauty of Kaʻū. Next, I'm excited about exploring other areas like using locally sourced ingredients to create value-added products. This year I created garlic aioli and honey mustard that was distributed to families in the food boxes from the hubs in Pāhala and
Nāʻālehu."

A variety of industry certifications will be a part of all students program of study in the Agri-preneurship Academy, which will help students demonstrate their competency in various areas that will lead to high wage, high skill, and in-demand careers.

AGRICULTURE
QUALIFY TO BECOME A BEGINNING FARMER OR RANCHER and receive benefits from the U.S. Department of Agriculture To qualify for status as a beginning farmer or rancher: Applicants must be an individual. Business entities may receive benefits only if all of the substantial beneficial interest holders (ten percent or more) of the business entity qualify as beginning farmers or ranchers. For example, a son moves home to take over the family farm and incorporates with his spouse and neither have previous farming experience. Their corporation would qualify as a beginning farmer/rancher. However, if a son moves home and forms a corporation with his father, who has had an insurable interest in crops or livestock for more than five crop years, the corporation cannot receive beginning farmer and rancher benefits. Although the son qualifies as a beginning farmer or rancher, the father does not so the corporation cannot receive benefits.
Applicants must not have actively operated and managed a farm or ranch anywhere, with an insurable interest in any crop or livestock for more than five crop years (ten years for Whole-Farm Revenue Protection). This includes an insurable interest as an individual or as a substantial beneficial interest holder (ten percent or more) in another person who has an insurable interest in any crop or livestock. Applicants may exclude a crop year's insurable interest if they were under the age of 18, enrolled in post-secondary studies (not to exceed five crop years) or on active duty in the U.S. military.
