In response to updated guidance from the Department of Health, Kona District Court traffic, criminal, small claims, and regular claims cases will be postponed until after Sept. 14 due to courtroom staff being directed to self-quarantine. The only exceptions are temporary restraining order cases, preliminary hearings, and any emergency matters, which will be heard as scheduled in Courtroom 2C​. The custody cases will be heard in Hilo. The Keahuolu Courthouse will be open for Family Court and Circuit Court matters, as well as general court services. Late last Thursday, a Keahuolu Courthouse employee received a positive COVID-19 test result and the Kona District Courtroom has been closed since Friday. Individuals with cases needing to be rescheduled are being notified. In addition, staff will be stationed outside the courthouse on Tuesday to assist those with District Court matters. “We sincerely apologize to anyone who is inconvenienced,” said Third Circuit Chief Judge Robert D. Kim. “Unfortunately, our staffing limitations preclude us from conducting the vast majority of District Court cases while the core staff is on self-quarantine at home. We thank those who had cases scheduled for their patience and understanding during these challenging times. “Our thoughts are with our staff members and we look forward to welcoming them back on Sept. 15.

The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT), in collaboration with the Hawaii Trauma System, first responders, and other traffic safety partners statewide, urge everyone to limit driving for only essential activities during the Labor Day Weekend. “Let’s honor all frontline workers working this Labor Day weekend by limiting driving to essential trips,” Hawaii Department of Transportation Deputy Director of Highways Ed Sniffen said. “If you must drive, we ask you to take measures to stay safe and avoid tragedy on our roads. You can do this by slowing down, wearing your seat belt, and driving sober to help us all get home safely.” Although fewer cars are on our roadways, there has been a significant increase in excessive speeding and aggressive driving, and Hawaii is still seeing fatal crashes occurring in all counties. According to preliminary state data, our State has recorded 60 traffic fatalities, compared to 71 at the same time last year even with an average 30-percent reduction in traffic volume during the respective state and county COVID-19 orders. “As the State and counties move towards reducing the spread and impact of COVID-19, our first responders and trauma providers on the frontlines are overwhelmed with helping our communities combat this virus, as well as addressing other types of injuries and trauma,” Strategic Highway Safety Plan Core Committee chairperson Kari Benes said. “Handling a relatively high level of preventable traffic-related injuries adds to this burden and may stretch already limited healthcare resources.” Hawaii’s health care workers, first responders, the Hawaii Department of Transportation, the Hawaii Department of Health, county police departments, MADD Hawaii and many other stakeholders are working collaboratively to address our communities’ most pressing traffic safety issues, including speeding and impaired driving. This multidisciplinary group collaborated to create the Hawaii Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), a five-year plan that embraces the five Es of safety – engineering, education, enforcement, emergency medical services and everyone else – and provides strategies to improve safety on all of Hawaii’s public roads. For more information about the SHSP, visit https://hidot.hawaii.gov/highways/shsp Safe travel tips: Hawaii’s emergency health care workers and traffic safety partners urge Hawaii’s roadway users to: • Limit transportation to essential travel • Slow down and obey the speed limits • Always buckle up – every trip, day and night, year round • Remember that it is never okay to drink and drive. Even one alcoholic beverage can slow reaction times and impair judgement. • If allowed by your county’s COVID-19 rules, use your community’s sober ride program, public transit, taxi, or rideshare.

The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) and Hawaiian Electric have scheduled a power outage to test the Emergency Power Facility (EPF) at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL). The planned event is scheduled for the following date and time: 11:00 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 5, to 4 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 6 During the outage there will be no power to Terminals 1 and 2, and all parking structures. Facilities located on the Ewa Service Road will also be impacted. The roads and H-1 Freeway offramps leading to HNL will be closed to the public throughout the outage period. The outage will occur when no flights are scheduled to arrive or depart, however the power to the airfield will remain on and unchanged during the test. The south ramp and facilities on Lagoon Drive, Elliott Street and Aolele Street will not be impacted by the power outage. Businesses located in the airport have been notified to plan accordingly and to unplug electronics and equipment prior to the event to prevent possible damage.

Last weekend an estimated 100 people gathered at the J7 ranch to get in streams and waterfalls above the ranch. The waterways above the J7 (Wailuku River, Hookelekele Stream, Lauiole Falls, Pukamaui Falls and Kauwehu Falls) are collectively known as “Narnia”, and are part of the Hilo Restricted Watershed Section of the Hilo Forest Reserve. Access is restricted and requires a permit for entry (HAR 13-105-4). The DLNR Division of Forestry & Wildlife (DOFAW) is not issuing any permits for access to that area at this time. Hunters are allowed to access Hilo Restricted Watershed with a valid hunting license for the purpose of hunting on weekends and holidays only. A major access point is through the J7 ranch, (currently unencumbered land TMK: (3) 2-5-009:004) and this area is now also closed to the public. All other uses are prohibited at this time and the DLNR Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE) and Hawai‘i County Police will be enforcing all State laws and rules. Additional Hawai‘i Island Area Closes After Today to Discourage Large Gatherings The Puna Trail in the Puna District on Hawai‘i island will be closed at midnight today. The 2.5-mile-long trail leads to Ha‘ena Beach, known locally as Shipman’s and has seen large group gatherings dating back to original COVID-19 related orders and closures back in April. This closure, like yesterday’s announcement that all State Parks on Hawai‘i island are also closing after today, is consistent with Hawai‘i County’s closure of all county beach parks. All State and County closures are in effect at least through Sept. 18, 2020. Surveys conducted in April by staff from the State’s Na Ala Hele Trails and Access Program, showed an eight-fold increase of usage of the Puna Trail, compared to data from 2019. At that time an average of 16 people a day used the trail, while the COVID-19 survey period showed an average of 140 users each day. The DLNR Division of State Parks supports all county and state rules in an effort to reduce the chances of coronavirus infection on Hawai‘i island, which recently, like O‘ahu, has experienced a surge in cases. Closed signs were put up at the trailhead this afternoon and the WH Shipman Estate which co-manages the trailhead parking lot with the State supports closures, as enforcement is difficult at the remote Ha‘ena beach. County and State law enforcement officers will be patrolling all closed areas this weekend to ensure compliance with all emergency rules.
