The DLNR Division of State Parks is reopening select parks and monuments across the state with an emphasis on social distancing and exercise and continued restrictions on gatherings of any sort. The announcement is in line with Governor Ige’s emergency rules, as well as advice from the Hawai‘i Dept. of Health. State Epidemiologist Dr. Sarah Park said, “In general, it’s a good idea to help with people’s mental well-being. The fact that these are outdoor/open air spaces with good ventilation means any risk of transmission will be greatly decreased. That said, a few of these do have lookout points or are trails that may not be wide enough at some points to accommodate 6 ft distance, so it will be important to remind people to keep moving and not congregate—i.e., as long as people are moving past each other, even if they’re within 6 ft of each other and not wearing a mask, we wouldn’t categorize those persons as anything but low risk at most and likely no risk”. DLNR Chair Suzanne Case commented, “The department is excited to cautiously reintroduce State Park access to Hawai‘i’s residents in this unprecedented time of virtually no out-of-state visitors. However, conventional park activities such as parties, gatherings, picnics, setting up on the beach, and camping are still not allowed. This public use is strictly for mobile activities such as hiking and ocean use to support our residents physical and emotional health during the stay at home mandate. For this reason, certain frequently visited parks and access to them remain closed.” “It is critical that people honor this intent and follow all social distancing practices and park area closures to eliminate gathering. State Parks strongly encourages residents stay within their own ahupua’a and neighborhoods rather than traveling across an island to another community’s remote State Park. Revenue losses require that certain gates remain closed. Inappropriate behavior and changing public health circumstances may require that certain parks be closed again, such as what has recently occurred at some parks on the mainland, “ added Curt Cottrell, DLNR Division of State Parks Administrator.

The Paycheck Protection Program continues to provide critical support to millions of small businesses and tens of millions of hardworking Americans. Since Round 2 of PPP loan processing began on Monday, April 27, more than 2.2 million loans have been made to small businesses across the U.S. The total value of these 2.2 million loans is over $175 billion. Notably, the average loan size in Round 2 is $79,000, yet another indicator that the program is broadly based and assisting the smallest of small businesses. In just one week, the number of loans surpasses the number made in all of Round 1. Since the Paycheck Protection Program was first offered on April 3, SBA has processed over 3.8 million loans for more than half a trillion dollars of economic support in less than one month. Small business in Hawaii scored 7,717 loans for more than $413,825,000. The list includes small businesses in all industries, sizes, shapes and business models. As Hawaii starts to open up for business, we encourage you to assess your operations carefully and take the necessary steps to assure safety and social distancing for customers and staff. And don’t miss out on the chance to get some financial assistance to help you move into the new economy after COVID-19! Find out how easy it is to apply for the PPP loan at www.sba.gov!

At the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM), the circumstances of COVID-19 have brought out the best in its MD 2020 and MD 2021 classes. Members of the Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) are paying it forward and launched the Aloha-19 Project, providing cards and care packages to 62 MD 2019 graduates, now interns working on the frontlines of the pandemic in Hawaiʻi and in other states. The Aloha-19 Project was brought to fruition with the intent of helping MD 2019 graduates “boost morale and let them know we are thinking of them, thankful for their service, and so, so proud and in awe of them,” said Shelly Wong, MD 2021 student and GHHS member. “I was so saddened by the COVID-19 situation and specifically thinking of the Class of 2019 and how this must make their intern year—an already difficult year—exponentially more stressful.” Sending aloha The JABSOM honor society will be sending ‘aloha’ to 62 interns—almost the entire MD 2019 class.Outgoing GHHS President Kayla Murata and incoming President Lucia Amore found ways to support the initiative. “We’ve all been working to make this project happen,” Amore said. “We’re lucky in that we have a solid JABSOM ʻohana behind us. Our GHHS chapter advisor, Dr. Damon Lee, has been supportive in helping us figure out the logistics of assembling these care packages in socially distant compliant ways.” The feedback from some of the MD 2019 class was that of gratitude: Laura (Kurata) Ling: “Thank you guys so much for doing this! My husband [MD 2019] Carlthan is on the special COVID team at his hospital and I’ve been working in the ICU, which is almost exclusively ventilated COVID patients. Any encouragement would be much appreciated. Super proud to be part of the JABSOM ʻohana!” Casey Young: “Aloha, from New York. Our city has been devastated by COVID. All the warmth and thoughts from afar really do help us stay strong.” Support such as Aloha-19 is a component of the Arnold P. Gold Foundation, “…to nurture and preserve the tradition of the caring physician.” Established in 2002, the Gold Humanism Honor Society members model the humanistic qualities of integrity, excellence, compassion, altruism, respect, empathy and service. GHHS recognizes the practice of patient-centered medical care. This nurturing begins in medical schools across the country, with 160 chapters, including JABSOM. This act of kindness helped the JABSOM honor society recently earn an “exemplary” ranking, which was based on a questionnaire sent to the 160 GHHS chapter advisors who were asked to identify events, activities and programs designed or conducted by GHHS medical students. Murata added, “Together we are making our community a healthier and happier place, even in the face of adversity and uncertainty.” Read the full story on the JABSOM website source: https://www.hawaii.edu/news/2020/05/05/jabsom-students-sends-aloha/ #covid19 #coronavirus #UHManoa #JABSOM #MedicalSchool

The County of Maui Department of Water Supply has begun requiring customers on its Wailuku-Kahului-Paia system to reduce water usage by at least 10 percent as part of a Stage 1 water shortage declared last week. The Stage 1 declaration came after a Wailuku water pump failure over the April 25-26 weekend. The 10 percent cutback in water usage is mandatory until further notice. Under Stage 1 restrictions, consumers should postpone the washing of vehicles, irrigation of landscape or unnecessary water use at this time. “We were working to get our three well pumps on line when Wailuku Well No. 2 failed the end of April,” Department of Water Supply Director Jeffrey Pearson said. “This recent failure reduced our water production by an additional 2 million gallons per day, which is significant when combined with three other wells being out of service.” With four pumps out of service in the Central Maui-Paia region, the department’s capacity from those sources is down by as much as 6 million gallons per day. Water demand in the system area averages about 24 mgd. However, the department has increased production at other wells and at the Iao Water Treatment Plant to offset the loss of water from the four wells. “We hope to have a couple of wells back on line in the first half of this month,” Pearson said. “The department appreciates our customers’ support during these emergency conditions.” Consumers with water problems may call the 24-hour service line at 270-7633.

Hawai‘i is mourning the passing of another kupuna that may be associated with COVID-19 infection. Dept. of Health Director (DOH) Dr. Bruce Anderson said, “Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of another valued member of our community. COVID-19 is still a critical issue for everyone in Hawai‘i. Please follow social distancing guidelines and current emergency rules to help protect our most vulnerable people.” DOH reports the 17th death is a woman, over 60-years-old, with underlying medical conditions. She had been in the hospital at Maui Memorial Medical Center since late February. Her infection occurred in mid-April. COVID-19 is not believed to be the primary cause of death, due to her other serious illnesses, but may have been a contributing factor to her passing. With the state’s infection curve flattening, and single digit new COVID-19 cases being reported in the past few days, Anderson and other state leaders caution we must not let our guard down. He said, “With the pending reopening of businesses, we urge everyone to continue doing what they’ve been doing - stay at home, unless it’s necessary to go out, practice social distancing, wash your hands, and wear masks. For now, this is our new normal, in order to protect each other and prevent the spread of the disease.”

A partnership of non-profit and governmental organizations is expanding a program that is serving free healthy meals, prepared according to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) standards, to eleven Oʻahu sites reaching about 1,700 children and youth per day. Since Hawaiʻi public schools were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this partnership has been increasing its capacity to provide free meals to keiki, as a complement the meal distribution sites that the Department of Education (DOE) is operating at about 70 public schools, out of 256 across the state. The newest sites serving lunch are at Kuhio Elementary School in Honolulu and Puʻuwai Momi in ʻAiea. Palama Settlement in Kalihi will continue to be the only site serving suppers. On a typical school day, nearly 65,000 economically disadvantaged Hawaiʻi students benefit from free or reduced-price school breakfast and lunch. For many, these are the only nutritious meals that they eat regularly. For their families, these meals help relieve financial stress by reducing their food budgets. During the summer, when students are not able to eat free or reduced-price meals at school, community partners work together to provide food to children and youth in low-income areas via the federal Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). Four SFSP sponsors—YMCA of Honolulu, Parents And Children Together, Palama Settlement, and Windward Nazarene Academy—have stepped up to provide free meals for keiki in low-income areas on Oʻahu during these unplanned school closures. The sponsors are partnering with Aloha Harvest, Kapiʻolani Community College, Lanakila Pacific, Hawaiʻi Appleseed, and Hawaii Child Nutrition Programs to get the meals prepared and delivered. The following eleven sites provide free healthy grab-and-go meals, Monday through Friday, to keiki up to age 18: View a map of the below sites here.
