Banyan Tree Fatality
#1
Here is some background on the homeless woman who burned in a Hilo banyan tree last week:

Debbie Cohn-Hoshide and was the owner of Hoshide Farms in Honaunau. Coffee from the seven-acre farm won the 2008 Gevalia Kona Coffee Cupping Competition.

She dedicated her win in the prestigious annual cupping contest “in honor of my mother and father who are no longer with us. The judge said her winning coffee possessed the quintessential Kona floral fragrance which made it stand out from the others.


She owned the farm from 1995 to 2010. It also said she attended the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Her Facebook page, which lists about 4,500 friends, said she originally was from Manhattan Beach, California.

Simply heartbreaking. What a sad, tragic end.

Thank you, Chas, for sharing the Civil Beat story, so that all might read it and see one of the many faces the homeless may have.
