PATRAKIS: Faced a number of state charges, which were put aside when he was arrested by federal agents CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A KIM: Candidate filing period runs through June 7 is the youngest of the group at 30. She’s campaigning on a platform of “be the change.” “I think it’s great,” McCandless said. “We live in a democracy and the people should have a good choice to choose from.” Candidates Jefferson Gourley and Eric Weinert did not return telephone messages by press time Thursday. The mayor is the chief executive officer of the county and appoints department directors and appoints members to numerous commissions and boards. The office is nonpartisan and it’s open this election because Kenoi has been termlimited after eight years in office. The candidate filing period runs through June 7. Polls open for early voting Aug. 1, with primary Election Day on Aug. 13. To qualify for the ballot, candidates must come up with verified signatures of registered voters living within the district — 15 for local races and 25 for statewide races. In addition, candidates must pay filing fees ranging from $75 to $750, depending on the race. Fees drop to as low as $25 for candidates who agree to limit their campaign spending. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A director since December 2012. He served as director of the Department of Research and Development from February 2009 to December 2012. Mayor Billy Kenoi, in a rare appearance before the County Council, praised Kurohara as the person to finish ongoing projects over the next nine months as the mayor’s eight-year tenure ends in December because of term limits. Kenoi characterized Kurohara as “someone who’s respected, someone who’s calm, someone who’s very, very smart,” when introducing his new managing director. The managing director is charged with overseeing the county’s 18 departments and approximately $463 million annual budget. The position pays about $120,000 annually. Kurohara, as deputy managing director, was the county purchasing card, or pCard, administrator for the Mayor’s Office during the time of Kenoi’s admitted misuse of his pCard for personal purchases. The county Board of Ethics last year cleared Kurohara of any wrongdoing, agreeing with his attorney that while he had authority over the staff in the Mayor’s Office, he didn’t have authority over the mayor. “Randy truly cares and loves his community … our community,” Kenoi said. Even Kohala Councilwoman Margaret Wille, a frequent critic of the mayor, had nothing but positive things to say. “I want to commend Mayor Kenoi’s good choice in this case,” she said, drawing chuckles from the packed room. Other council members also heaped on the praise. “You have all the qualities of a good manager,” said Hilo Councilman Aaron Chung. “I think you are the right person at the right time,” said North Kona Councilwoman Karen Eoff. “You have the skills that are needed in this position,” said Hamakua Councilwoman Valerie Poindexter. “I know you’re going to do a great job,” said Hilo Councilman Dennis “Fresh” Onishi. Kurohara appeared a little taken aback by the outpouring of good will. “All these kind words are difficult for me to sit here and take,” he said. “I’ll work hard. I’ll continue to serve as I’ve always done. I’ll make sure we end and we leave everything in good order and goals and objectives are all met.” CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A The government filing cited a number of factors including that “there is no condition or combination of conditions of release which will reasonably assure defendant’s appearance as required” and no release conditions “will reasonably assure the safety of any other person and the community.” The government also lists that the offenses have a maximum sentence of life imprisonment and were against a minor. There is also a “serious risk defendant will flee,” the document said, and he is a “danger to other person or community.” Requests for comment from Patrakis’s defense attorney were not returned by press time. Patrakis had faced a number of state charges, which were put aside when he was arrested by federal agents. Some of those state charges, including child abuse and kidnapping, were not pursued at the federal level. KONA HARDWOODS A Division of Roy Lambrecht Woodworking, Inc.
