Explore the ambiance and activities of this back-to-nature destination and discover a truly unique Hawaiian experience. 4000 ft above the sea, giant tree ferns, lofty ohi'a-lehua trees and fragrant ginger create a lush refreshing appeal in contrast to the primal volcanic land. Temperatures are cooler than are typical of Hawaiian coastal areas. Rainfall is a natural part of the native rainforest with misty rains alternating with clear skies. Hike, bike or drive the CRATER RIM DRIVE in Volcanoes National Park. Be invigorated by its craters, steam vents, lava tubes, and rainforest trails. For the adventurous, the Chain of Craters Road winds down to the coast where vast systems of lava tubes carry active lava flows into the sea, creating the newest land on earth. Another exceptional experience while in the National Park is a visit to the VOLCANO ART CENTER GALLERY , with its collection of fine arts and crafts, available for purchase and displayed in the original historic Volcano House on the edge of Kilauea Caldera. The Volcano Art Center is currently developing an arts and environmental campus on 7 acres of land in Volcano Village. This new facility will expand its already well-established and ongoing programs in visual, literary, and performing arts. These include an acclaimed hula and Hawaiian music series which garnered a prestigious Kihili Award from the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau. The outlying community is a mix of scientists, artists and local entrepreneurs in a village-like town with a variety of restaurants and cafes. The village and its surrounding inhabitants blend almost imperceptibly into the native-forested landscape. The whole area has been designated by the United Nations as an INTERNATIONAL BIOSPHERE RESERVE AND HISTORIC SITE. Volcano is a destination in which to relax as well as be active, a place to be awed and slow down, to get in touch with oneself beyond the often busy pace of daily life. Surreal and serene, it is a place which is empowering, enduring and ever-changing. The harmony of man and nature here attracts aware and sensitive individuals whose values show concern for the earth and its remaining places of great natural beauty. "Perhaps this village of 3,600 (inhabitants) can show us how to better tend the land and each other as we move into the new millennium." HONOLULU STAR BULLETIN DAY TRIPS FROM VOLCANO PUNA Experience old Hawaii along the old road on the PUNA COAST with its papaya farms, hot pools, black sands beach and newly-created land - 1-hour drive each way.

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 .

A girlfriend looking for catering for her May celebration - called inquiring about "ono" Hawaiian caterers. A rattled a few that I've experienced...Akau's Hui, Maruju Market, Haili's, Helena's...but it dawned on me that there is a great diaspora of "Hawaiian" caterers out there - with their fare ranging from traditionally prepared imu kalua pua'a...to the oven-roasted liquid smoke version. Both can be flavorful - but you can tell the difference. Not all squid luau, chicken long rice, or lomilomi salmon's are created equally either. So what makes it good? I think like wine - it's up to you. Depends what you like...what's your "ono" factor?
