Marc Maloney will join us at our board meeting 7 PM at the Volcano
Island Honey Farm on Pua Ono Road.
The last General meeting was:
August 11, 2011 7PM at NHERC. Contact Eric Johnsen, ACA secretary, at 775-0197 for directions to the meeting site.
The ACA is beginning to thrive again. Our lively monthly
get-together was held at 7:00 PM, July 8 at the Volcano Island Honey Company’s
meeting room. The pleasant space was available thanks to the continued
generosity of Richard Spiegel.
Discussions were varied and interesting and ran from the biological to the
technical: coqui frogs, the strawberry guava biological control scheme, the
puccinia rust plant disease that has decimated the rose apple, the community
wide desire for much better internet access and cell service in our area and the
question of how to get providers of those services to respond to our needs. Also
discussed was the lack of progress on repair of Mamalahoa Highway where it was
damaged by the earthquake of 2006, creating a one lane, blind curve situation.
Speaking with the engineer in charge of that project, we find that the repair
has been designed for the second time and is awaiting approval of funding from
FEMA.
All present at the meeting agreed that the first step to having some influence
in these areas is to grow the membership of the A.C.A. and represent our needs
and desires as a group to relevant agencies and businesses. To this end we are
initiating a drive encouraging participation via this published article and a
soon-to-come direct mailing to the approximately 200 names on our old data list.
There are many points of view in the community and we all benefit from hearing them. We invite you to join, attend our monthly meetings and participate at any level possible. We value your participation and perspective.

Here are notes from a talk-story held in Ahualoa in late 2009 as part of the Hamakua CDP process. It shows many of the issues that Ahualoa people are concerned about when visioning our community over the next 20 years:
