Hawaiian City Garden

.:::BOTANICAL GARDEN CITY of the North Mayor urges the world to continue environmental advocacy By: William Jun Garcia SAN FERNANDO CITY, La Union-City Mayor Mary Jane C. Ortega urged the citizenry to continue its awareness on environmental concerns to avert impending disasters. The Mayor, who was invited by the 1,200-members of the Global Advisory Council for Mayors in Ottawa, Canada last week, said that a continued promotion on our environment would help the world delay the greenhouse effect on the aftermath of a global warming or an irregular climate change. She warned that a continued promotion and the prevention of an unabated abuse and degradation of the environment would also slow down the effects of ice or glacial melting on our oceans and the eventual sea-level rise and atmospheric problems due to solar radiation and pollution on man. The Mayor, who is internationally recognized for including in her governance a strict implementation, protection and preservation of environment and clean air and also addressing its concerns, has initiated the establishment of a sanitary landfill, soon-to-be converted into an engineered landfill in Barangay Mameltac. She likewise initiated for the City Council, through Vice Mayor Bernardo Nardi Valero, to enact and approve a city ordinance, mandating public utility tricycle engines to be converted from two to four strokes to minimize smog emission that pollute the air. These programs are one reason why she was the only Asian invited to speak among 14 mayors from all over the world during the conference. She was also considered as the spokesperson for a developing city from a developing country. She also added that climate change could not be stopped rather it has just started as manifested by the unusual strong hurricanes, series of earthquakes and strong tsunamis happening throughout world. These disasters were earlier predicted by experts to happen 75 years (year 2080) from now but are now ironically occurring according to the Mayor. Among the attendants in the said conference were mayors or representatives from local government units of Seattle, Wash.; Kyoto, Japan; Madagascar; Bonn, Germany; New Zealand; European Union members of Parliament; a minister from Australia; and senators of Canada. Meanwhile, from Ottawa, Mayor Ortega was also able to attend the Christmas Party for children rendered by 20 Filipino- Canadian residents who are natives of San Fernando City headed by its president, Albert Floresca, whose wife is the niece of La Union Governor Victor F. Ortega.

Deep Sea Fishing Oahu, Blue Water Hawaii Fishing Mar 30, 2003 . Mike Corell lands a 669 lbs Blue Marlin More... Pelagic game fish, such as Blue Marlin (Au), Wahoo (ono), Dolphin Fish (Mahimahi) Yellowfin Tuna (Ahi)and Skipjack Tuna (Aku)tend to prefer deep blue water, ranging from the surface to about 1,000fathoms. Hence the term Blue Water Fishing. The rule of thumb is the deeper the water the biggerthe fish. Yet, monster fish have been caught just out side the harbor, so its just a rule ofthumb. You never know when or where a big fish will strike. The Kuuloa Kai team is prepared tohook up and boat a big fish at all times. Deep Sea Fishing Waikiki, Deep Sea Fishing Honolulu Hawaii deep sea fishingcenters around floaters and Fish Aggregation Devices (FAD). "Floaters",the term fishermen call flotsam, act as nurseries for many pelagic species.Where there is food you will find big predators. FADs act as virtual floaters creatingthis food chain. Deep sea fishing Hawaii concentrates around FADs. Due to heavy shippingtraffic, FADs are not positioned as densely on the Honolulu side of the island of Oahu.Deep sea fishing Honolulu means long travel times. The beauty of the windward side is thatwe get floaters blown to us first and have several FADs to choose from. Another rule of thumb:the choppier the water the better the bite. This makes Haleiwa the idealfishing venue. You fish where the fish are. June 2002 . Captain Rusty with 131 lbs. Yellowfin Tuna, Hanapa'a Jackpot Fishing Tournament.

Contact Us Donate FAQs Search : Location: News > United States > Hawaii Lanai Drinking Water Will Not be Fluoridated Latest News from Hawaii Move to ban fluoride flounders Honolulu City Council votes to ban fluoridation Hawaii State Fluoridation Ban May Pass Mandatory fluoridation bill defeated in Hawaii Lanai Drinking Water Will Not be Fluoridated Read more news from Hawaii Honolulu Star Bulletin Saturday 12 January 2002 Lanai drinking water sill not be fluoridated State health officials backed the idea, but Lanai Water Co. says residents opposed it by Gary T. Kubota WAILUKU Lanai Water Co. has decided against fluoridating the island's drinking water supply, despite encouragement otherwise from state health officials. Company President Vince Bagoyo said the residents do not support fluoridation. "It's always been our decision that the residents should make that decision, and for Lanai there's no fluoridation," said Bagoyo, also vice president of Castle & Cooke. Bagoyo said last August that the company supported the project based on a community meeting on Lanai, where citizens and health professionals listed fluoridation as a priority. But since then the proposal to fluoridate Lanai's drinking water has been under attack by some groups and individuals in Maui County. They say fluoridation has been associated with illnesses such as osteoporosis and cancer, and if people want to add fluoride to their diet, they should do it as individuals. The decision by Lanai Water Co. comes when the Maui County Council is considering a bill that would ban fluoridation in private water systems. Councilwoman Jo Anne Johnson said she introduced the measure to give the people a choice in what they want in their water. Johnson said there is evidence that fluoride in the diet may increase the risk of medical complications for children, the elderly and those with cardiovascular, kidney and other chronic disorders. She said she is also worried about the health effect of excessive fluoridation in children. "I always err on the side of caution," she said. "I think people should have the right to choose what they want in their water. ... We should not be forcing it upon individuals." Several Maui residents testified in favor of the bill. But Dr. Mark Greer, chief of the state Dental Health Division, said fluoridation is taking place in virtually all major cities and that there was nothing to prove claims that it causes health problems. "We've heard all the claims against fluoridation," he said. "There is nothing to substantiate a downside in fluoridation." Greer, who had planned to fluoridate Lanai's drinking water by this spring, said the division still believes it is a good idea and wants to continue talks with the community. State health officials say statistics for school year 1999 showed Lanai had the highest rate of tooth decay in children ages 5 to 9 among the Hawaiian Islands and more than three times the rate of children on Hawaii military bases where there has been fluoridation since the 1950s. Greer said fluoridation would be good for Lanai. "This is what it's about: reducing disease and reducing the cost of health care," he said. Johnson's bill, along with a resolution asking the Maui Board of Water Supply to prohibit fluoridation, has been referred to the Council's Public Works and Transportation Committee.
