Peter Young, DLNR Chairperson, provided details on DLNR's unprecedented budget request of $92-million being proposed to the coming Legislature. DLNR’s 2007 Budget Summary The Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) is requesting $92-million for its operating budget for the next fiscal year (2007). The following summary provides some details on programs and initiatives DLNR will be able to undertake when the budget request is approved. DLNR’s budget is unprecedented in scope and scale and demonstrates Governor Lingle's commitment to protecting our natural and cultural resources for the benefit of future generations. History In 2002, DLNR’s budget was $60-million; DLNR is currently requesting $92-million · The requested amount is unprecedented in the history of DLNR · The difference represents an increase of over 50% over the 2002 budget · The difference represents an increase of over $15-million from this year’s budget Breakdown of $92-million budget request · General Funds - $29-million · Special Funds - $50-million · Federal Funds - $13-million How will DLNR's proposed budget be spent? DLNR’s budget represents an investment in improving the quality of life for the people of Hawaii and protection of our precious resources. Many of DLNR's priorities remain the same. However, DLNR will pursue some of its priorities with new tools and methods: Invasive Species · DLNR stands fast in protecting the resources and fighting Invasive Species is our number one priority because it is the single most-effective way to protect Hawaii’s natural resources · The proposal calls for continuation of DLNR’s multi-year, $4-million per year initiative · Key program goals: Prevention, Response & Control, Targeted Research and Outreach Parks Maintenance · DLNR is expanding on last year’s initiative that focuses on cleaning and repairing our State Parks facilities (Last year, DLNR asked for, and continues to receive, an added $977,000 to State Parks budget for needed cleaning and repairs.) · $486,000 is requested to be added to this increase so DLNR can expand, from semi-annually to semi-monthly, the power-washing, chemi-clean, steam-cleaning and sanitizing of the 85 statewide Parks restrooms Environmental Education · DLNR is requesting $1-million to support statewide environmental education programs · This will add to the already expanding program of making state land available for private operators to provide environmental education to Hawaii’s children. · Funds will be granted through an RFP process to environmental education providers across the state to enhance their existing environmental education programs. Parks - Harbors Security · DLNR is requesting $800,000 to place uniformed security personnel at State Parks and Harbors · Uniformed security personnel will be placed at 22 of our state parks and patrolling our harbors - they will curtail vandalism & break-ins, handle gates and by their presence will eliminate loitering and illegal activities · Presence serves as a deterrent to inappropriate behavior, provides assistance to and educates users, allows DLNR to monitor the resources and, ultimately, enhances protection of the resources and makes for a more enjoyable experience by all · DLNR enforcement officers spend approximately 40% of their time dealing with State Parks (15%) and Boating (25%) concerns · This program will free up time for DOCARE enforcement officers, allowing them to focus on natural and cultural resource concerns Stream Evaluation · DLNR is requesting $650,000 to work toward fulfillment of the State’s obligation to establish instream flow standards for Hawaii streams · Of the 376 perennial streams statewide, DLNR will evaluate the 1,242 stream diversions and will: o Perform field verification of stream diversions o Assess stream characteristics o Facilitate the determination of instream flow standards Watershed Protection · DLNR is requesting a $4.7-million increase in the spending natural area reserves and watershed protection. o $1.6-million will be used to protect Hawaii's natural area reserves – these serve to preserve and protect Hawaiian biological ecosystems and geological formations. o $2.6-million will focus on watershed resources and support the nine Watershed Partnerships that protect over 1-million acres of Hawaii’s forested watersheds. Aquatic Resources Protection · DLNR is requesting over $1.8-million in added spending to protect Hawaii’s aquatic resources and habitats. Land Acquisition · DLNR is requesting a $4-million in increased spending for land acquisition so the state may preserve and protect important natural and cultural resources. Capital Improvement Projects DLNR is requesting $72-million to make needed capital improvements across the state. This amount is unprecedented in scope and scale for DLNR. Some of the statewide projects include: · $10-million – to continue the ongoing State Parks improvement program · $10-million – to make necessary improvement to Small Boat Harbors and Ramps · $17-million – for improvements to Maui’s inter-island ferry system · $2.6-million – to install sewer pump-out & electrical improvements at Ma’alaea · $18-million - in water source and distribution projects · $2.3-million - to plug the geothermal wells at Wao Kele O Puna · $10-million – to complete the improvements to Waimanalo Wastewater treatment plant For additional information, please call Clifford Inn, Education and Outreach Coordinator for DLNR at 587-0407, via cellular phone at 230-4698 or send a message .

The Hawaii Constitution was framed by a Constitutional Convention underAct 334, Session Laws of Hawaii 1949. It was adopted by the people atthe election held on November 7, 1950, and was deemed amended when threepropositions submitted to the people in accordance with the Act ofCongress approved March 18, 1959, 73 Stat 4, Public Law 86-3, wereadopted by the people at the election held on June 27, 1959. As soamended, it was accepted, ratified, and confirmed by Congress by the Actof March 18, 1959. It went into effect on August 21, 1959, upon theissuance of a presidential proclamation admitting the state of Hawaiiinto the Union. The Constitution has since been amended a number of times in accordancewith proposals adopted by the legislature or by constitutionalconvention and ratified by the people. The source of these amendmentsis indicated in the source notes immediately following the text of theamended or new section. Revision Note On November 7, 1978, amendments to the Constitution proposed by theConstitutional Convention of 1978 were presented to the electorate forits approval. The Lieutenant Governor's computer report showed that allof the proposed amendments passed by the necessary constitutionalmargin. However, the Supreme Court of Hawaii in Kahalekai v. Doi, 60 H.324, 590 P.2d 543 (1979), held that a number of the proposed amendmentswere not validly ratified. The revisor has deleted from theConstitution these invalid amendments and added explanatory notes to thesections concerned. This deletion has been done under the authority ofResolution No. 29 of the 1978 Constitutional Convention authorizing therevisor "to effect such necessary rearrangement, renumbering andtechnical changes of the sections within the articles of the StateConstitution, as may be affected, for proper form and arrangement andproper order in the State Constitution in the event that any or some ofthe amendments to the State Constitution proposed by the ConstitutionalConvention of Hawaii of 1978 are not ratified by the electorate." In addition to the abovementioned amendments, removed from the text ofthe Constitution, there appear to be other proposed amendments that mayhave failed of ratification. A number of unspecified amendments,involving technical, stylistic, and incidental changes, were submittedfor approval by the electorate under Question 34. As to these, theCourt stated: The question of whether any amendment submitted for approval by QuestionNo. 34 was in fact approved ... dependents on its effect uponsubstantive law. If the amendment is purely stylistic and technical innature, and does not alter the sense, meaning or effect of any provisionof the Constitution, it was approved by the electorate and has become apart of the revised Constitution. On the other hand, if the amendmentalters the sense, meaning or effect of any provision of theConstitution, it was not ratified and is not effective to change thelanguage of the Constitution. Obviously, we are not now in a positionto make these line by line determinations. The revisor does not consider that the authority granted underResolution No. 29 embraces the elimination of proposed amendments ashaving failed of ratification where the issue has not been adjudicated. Thus the text of the Constitution includes all the proposed amendmentssubmitted for ratification under Question 34. As an aid to the readers,however, an attempt has been made to identify all suchamendments--except those obviously purely technical and stylistic andclearly nonsubstantive (which have been ratified)--and explanatory noteshave been appended thereto.

Kojima, Star-Bulletin Lee Wild shows a pattern by the late master quilter, Meali'i Kalama. Below, a quilt on display this weekend. Stitches in Time One of the goals of the Hawaiian quilting festival this weekend is to perpetuate the cultural art form By Catherine Kekoa Enomoto Star-Bulletin IT'S a quilting bee to beat the band. This weekend's inaugural Hawaiian Quilt Festival at Blaisdell Center offers a patchwork of activities. Displays, exhibits, demonstrations, lectures, workshops, a marketplace and hands-on practice cover each step in the quilting process - pattern tracing, cutting, laying out, pinning, basting, hemming or appliqueing, and quilting. "We'll have old quilt patterns and dressmaker's tracing paper for purchase at $2 for a two-yard sheet," said Augusta-Helen "Aunty Gussie" Bento, president of the Hawaiian Quilt Research Project and co-chair of the three-day festival. "It's enough to trace one large quilt design and a couple of small designs. The patterns themselves stretch out to 40 or 48 inches." Bento said different quilt patterns will be available Saturday and Sunday, plus pencils for general use. "Then, people will be able to quilt on a horse that's there for community quilting," she said. Oahu and neighbor island quilters will lead workshops, such as stencils, Hawaiian tropical placemats, Hawaiian quilt pillow, miniature Hawaiian quilt, and designing a Hawaiian quilt. Cost will range from $26.50 to $75. Co-chair Elaine Zinn said festival goals are three-fold - "to help the public understand what the Hawaiian Quilt Research Project is about, to perpetuate the art of Hawaiian quilting so that it continues to grow, and to let people know how to take care of their quilts, because our environment and insects are so threatening to textiles." The 16-year Research Project has documented and registered more than 900 quilts and 700 quilt patterns on all islands. People will be able to sign up at the festival for future registries. "The project is important to preserve the history of Hawaiian quilts," said Zinn, who produced the 13-part public television "Hawaiian Quilting" series, "and to preserve the actual quilts that are still with us, so they will last a few more generations. They are very precious." "It was the greatest show of friendship to share one's quilt patterns," said Elizabeth Akana, who can conjure a genteel picture of tutu (grandmothers) with flowers in their hair, gathered on a porch to share snitches of gossip and stitches of colorful threads. "The quilts are enlightening us about our history and bringing about a love of history, because when you're dealing with a quilt you've got to have love in your heart," Akana said. Meanwhile, people can take their own paper and pencil, and trace quilt patterns at Waianae Library, which has a prodigious collection of 400 patterns, with more patterns yet available at Kailua Library and Brigham Young University-Hawaii collections. Akana said of Hawaii's unique quilting process and product: "We're looking at love in fabric and thread."
