Daylight Savings Time Begins

Although we don’t change our clocks here, our near and dear on the mainland are doing so. That means it’s now a 3 hour time difference for those of us with West Coast connections and 6 for East Coasters. Translate that for me: When it’s sunset here, I have two grandsons who might or might not be asleep in New Hampshire. Sorry that I’m remiss for Mountain and Central Time. Math is not my strong suit.

Kona Village Petroglyph Shadows

We must not forget that the Ancients were here long before us. They left their indelible mark in many ways. One is with petroglyph drawings. Thank you, Bill McDowell, for your photographs that chronicle the ties we keep with them.

 

Paniolo Dinner on March 9

Double Exposure

Yesterday morning when I passed the Canoe Club, I noticed a photo shoot in session.

 

Last evening at the Resident’s Beach House, the crew was enjoying dinner!

This Looks Like Fun! GET CAUGHT READING

The newest addition to PBS Hawaiʻi’s broadcast schedule doesn’t have a set airtime. GET CAUGHT READING is a new statewide multimedia initiative from PBS Hawaiʻi, made up of community members reading excerpts from their favorite book or poem for on-air and online, as well as in-person events. The program encourages viewers to find books and poems that make them wonder where the hours went, that turn “have to read” into “want to read.”

Starting tonight, GET CAUGHT READING videos will air in the intervals between our regular programs. You’ll hear community members read passages that hold deep meaning to them, and see how fun (and funny!) it can be to get caught wrapped up in a great book. All of these videos are streamed at pbshawaii.org/get-caught-reading/.

We hope you enjoy, and share with us the book you can never put down using #GETCAUGHTREADING.

Increased Military Training in Hawaii Raises Concerns

Joint Military Exercises are happening now.

West Hawaii Today reported on November 27, 2018 that the proposed training, which includes naval as well as Army, Air Force and U.S. Marine Corps special ops forces would begin in 2019.  At that time, the article stated that training would occur in the nearshore waters and land-based areas on Oahu, Hawaii Island and Kauai, and in nearshore waters, including harbors and bays, of Maui, Molokai, and Lanai.

It’s 2019 and sources say that 0n the Big Island training is being conducted along part of the South Kohala and North Kohala coasts, approximately from Mahukona in North Kohala to just south of Kawaihae in South Kohala. Training also is planned in North Kona from Kukio Bay to about Waiaha Bay, south of Kailua Bay.
