Board Field Trip Covers Many Areas

Trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and staff members who were on Kauai for community and board meetings in September also visited a number of Garden Island sites during a field trip arranged by Trustee Moses Keale of Kauai and Niihau.

The group first inspected the Anahola Farm Lots and chatted with farmer Joseph Kaauwai about the newly installed water system. lt then headed mauka where Ian Kagimoto of Aqua Engineers explained the features of the storage tank and pumping station for the system.

Following a look at Lumahai and Waipa Valleys, the group made a quick stop at Hanalei Pier and noted the increasing tour and charter boat activity in that area. Two meetings at the Lihue Library conference room followed the last visitation. The group first met with Ned Broadbent of Amfac ine. concerning the proposed Kitano Hydroelectric Plant at Kekaha. Karen Taketa, Alu Like's acting Island Center Administrator, was next on the agenda. She explained some of the projects and activities her organization is involved with on Kauai.
