https://homelessness.hawaii.gov/kauhale/  << tear producing video by Josh, and other Kauhale information here.

Ikaika Marzo, just the other day, spotlighted the increase of new homeless faces in Puna, and our need to help any way we can.

We should all urge Governor Green to focus on Puna, for the next Emergency Proclamation Kauhale.  What better place than HPP (Hawaiian Paradise Park), with it's abundance of large lots and Aloha for people of all walks of life?  This is an opportunity for residents of HPP to show where we really stand when it comes to sharing what we have with those who are less fortunate.

Wouldnt it be amazing if we could use Rob Tucker's container homes to make it even faster and more cost effective?  Rob can you make that happen if Josh selects HPP?

Please, act now and use this super easy, simple contact page to urge Governor Green to build the next Emergency Homeless Kauhale in HPP.

Together we can make a difference.]]>

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved bemotrizinol — sometimes called BEMT — in June. The first sunscreens containing it are now hitting U.S. store shelves, including formulas from Neutrogena and other manufacturers.

Dermatologists say the chemical fills an important market gap by offering broad protection, like the most well-established sunscreen ingredients, but without their cosmetic downsides, including white streaking.

BEMT has decades of safety data behind it, including studies showing it has minimal absorption into the skin. That’s been a concern with some older sun-blocking chemicals.

In Pahoa, on the Big Island of Hawaii, Ann and Mick Kalber received a registered letter last week advising them their plan was being discontinued.

This year he was hospitalized twice in nearby Hilo. Together the couple is paying less than $300 in monthly premiums. Now they are bracing to pay hundreds more. A high priority for the couple is maintaining access to a Mayo Clinic surgeon in Florida who has operated on Mr. Kalber’s jaw.

Asked if they could afford any increase while living on a combination of Social Security income, an inheritance and savings from careers making videos of volcanic eruptions, Ms. Kalber said, “No — but we can’t afford not to.”

For those who think this is just your government saving valuable tax dollars, here’s another look at what they’re willing to spend on a per person basis.  For educational purposes only, not as part of the Puna Medicare discussion:
