WHT Lack Coverage Of Hokulia Layoffs,Queen Kaahumanu Resurfacing,A Incomprehensible Diatribe,Proposed Thirty Meter Telescope,Hawaii Superferry

I’m really surprised that West Hawaii Today still hasn’t published anything about the layoffs Hokulia. Maybe they are afraid about reporting about this, especially since they said recently that Hokulia is not near bankruptcy ?

I just got word today that the bid opening to resurface Queen Kaahumanu Highway between Lako Street and Malulani Gardens should hopefully happen by June 30, 2008.

My jaw dropped after I read this op-ed by Kristine Kubat of Big Island Weekly. In my view her “incomprehensible diatribe” will do nothing to help bridge the divide breaking this island apart. She is certainly a “subversive nut”. Who would rather push her own agenda versus trying to come up with constructive solutions to help this island.

There was interesting article about the proposed telescope planned for Mauna Kea. The Thirty Meter Telescope will be a massive undertaking. Projects like this should be welcomed and supported. But it wouldn’t surprise me that “subversive nuts” like Kristine Kubat will try to torpedo this project.

Lastly, the Hawaii Supeferry is still awaiting the community’s response before resuming service to Kauai.It is obvious the residents of Kauai don’t want the Hawaii Superferry servicing their island for the foreseeable future.Thus the HSF should instead start Big Island- Oahu service already.
