Hawaii Community College will renovate
Manono Street campus rather than relocate
By KIRSTEN JOHNSON
Hawaii Tribune-Herald
Hawaii Community College is
looking to redevelop its current
Manono Street campus, foregoing
costlier options to move to a
larger site elsewhere in Hilo.
The community college has
operated at its current 20.7-acre
campus along Kawili Street since
1956. Last year, it enlisted a consultant
to study the feasibility of three
long-term redevelopment options
to update the campus’ aging infrastructure
and add more space.
Those options were to either renovate
the Manono site, relocate to
a 120-acre parcel above Komohana
Street or relocate to a 35-acre parcel

Bill eyes regulations on users of restricted-use pesticides
By MICHAEL BRESTOVANSKY
Hawaii Tribune-Herald
A bill that would establish
regulations on users of restricted
pesticides is on the cusp
of being passed into law after
the state House unanimously
voted to pass it last week.
Senate Bill 3095 would, if
passed, establish a series of
requirements imposed upon
agricultural businesses that
use more than 35 pounds
or 35 gallons of restricted
use pesticides in a year.
The bill makes several
proposals that would require
greater transparency from users
of restricted-use pesticides,
substances to which access is
limited because of their adverse
effects on the environment
or negative health effects.
One such proposal would
require users of restricted-use
pesticides to report on their
use of the pesticides at the end
of each year. These reports
would include which substance
is used, how much of it
is used and where it is used.

HONOLULU — The missile alert
the state mistakenly sent to the public
in January prompted the Federal
Communications Commission on
Tuesday to recommend government
workers avoid using the phrase
“this is not a drill” during practice

The FCC included the advice

wrong when the state accidentally
warned that a ballistic missile
was about to hit the islands.
A Hawaii Emergency Management
Agency employee sent the alert to
cellphones and broadcasters during
an exercise. He thought it was a
real emergency but other workers
understood it was an exercise.
