irst Wind, whose name reveals its historical alliance with a specific form of
renewable energy, is making a strategic
shift toward the sun, with plans to build
large solar projects across the state.
The Boston-based wind-energy developer, which already has developed four
such projects in Hawaii, says it has maxed
out its potential for that kind of project
locally. In 2013 and beyond, it is putting its
focus on a soon-to-be-released request for
proposals for 200 megawatts of renewable
energy from Hawaiian Electric Co., which
could include solar.
“It’s fair to say, going forward, we are
looking at more solar opportunities statewide,” said Wren Wescoatt, development
manager for First Wind Hawaii.
If successful in its plans to build utilityscale solar farms, it may help the state
move faster toward its renewable-energy
goals.
But other renewable-energy developers,
including Forest City Hawaii, which re-

Health-care providers ranging from hospitals and doctors to clinics and insurance
companies are bracing for the
possibility that the country
could fall off the so-called fiscal
cliff in less than three weeks,
causing reimbursements for
government programs such
as Medicare and Medicaid to
be slashed.
Congress and President
Barack Obama have until Jan.
1 to reach an agreement that
would avert automatic tax increases and spending cuts that
would total some $700 billion
in 2013 alone. If such a deal
fails to materialize, the biggest
impact on health care would be
cuts for Medicare reimbursements, said Rick Keene, chief
financial officer and senior vice
president at The Queen’s Medical Center.
“It’s very hard to plan for this
because there is a large amount
of uncertainty with it,” Keene

Owner wants to sell Chinatown’s Indigo restaurant

PACIFIC BUSINESS NEWS
The owner of the landmark
Downtown Honolulu restaurant and bar Indigo is looking
to sell his 9,000-square-foot
establishment for $650,000.
Glenn Chu, who opened Indigo in 1994 and had been the
executive chef until about a
year ago, plans to retire after
hurting his back in a freak
accident.
“It’s been a long time coming
and I haven’t been able to work,

so I’m not quite sure what I’m
going to do,” he told PBN. “I’d
like to be able to sell the restaurant as soon as possible.”
Chu Lan Shubert-Kwock,
president of ABC Mortgage/
Chu Lan Properties, is representing Chu in the impending
sale.
“[Glenn] was one of the pioneers in investing in the opening of restaurants in Chinatown,” said Shubert-Kwock,
who also is the president of
the Chinatown Business &
Community Association.
Indigo, located at 1121 Nuuanu Ave., has three sides to its
business — catering, restaurant and nightclub — and
serves up an award-winning
Eurasian-inspired cuisine.
“We have some people nibbling,” Shubert-Kwock told
PBN. “I have someone from
Germany, China and Italy that
are all interested, [but] I think
a lot of the time, people are
worried that the economy is
not too strong.”
She says that monthly rent
for Indigo is $20,000. Eighty
percent of the property is
owned by the Hawaii Theatre,
which has a contract to lease
out the property through 2019.

Hawaii will get clean-energy
business accelerator program
Renewable-energy companies will
compete for funding in four areas
How to apply
ENERGY
towards its clean-energy goals,” Sims said.
The application process, which opened
this week, will take about a month, with
selections expected by the end of January and the program starting in early
February.
The week-long program hopes to select up to eight companies or up to 15
employees of those businesses.
The second piece of the Excelerator is
the Pacific Accelerator, which will take
place next summer with plans to fund
up to $2 million in clean-energy demonstration and test-bed projects in Hawaii.
“We would really like to see the cleanenergy technology space flourish,” Sims
said.
The partnership with Blue Startups
appears to be a good fit. Blue Startups
founder Rogers also is the founder of the
Blue Planet Foundation, which focuses
on clean energy.
“It seemed like a good fit for us,” Sims
said. “They are conducting their own
application process and we are utilizing
the same accelerator tools.”
Chenoa Farnsworth, managing director of Blue Startups, believes the
Excelerator makes sense in Hawaii.
“We think that Hawaii can make its
mark in the global economy in clean
technology,” she said. “It’s all about putting Hawaii on the map and giving us that
reputation and competitive advantage
to do these types of businesses.”
Farnsworth said the collaboration
between the two accelerators makes
sense, mainly because Blue Startups
has similar goals and priorities.
“We don’t need to be developing duplicate content,” she said. “We will be relying heavily on the lean startup method
and we will team up on joint training.”

The Hawaii Renewable Energy Development Venture is launching the state’s
first clean-energy business accelerator
program.
The “Energy Excelerator” has the
ultimate goal of co-funding up to $2
million in clean-energy demonstration
and test-bed projects in Hawaii.
Applications for the program are being
accepted and companies will have the
opportunity to compete for up to $90,000
in funding to do further business and
technology-development work.
It is seeking technologies in four areas:
grid integration of renewable energy,
transportation systems, clean-energy
solutions for agriculture, and energy
efficiency for tropical environments.
The program, which is being funded
by the U.S. Department of Energy, is
partnering with Henk Rogers’ Blue
Startups, a new accelerator funded under the state’s “Launch Akamai Venture
Accelerator” solicitation.
Jill Sims, a project engineer with
the Pacific International Center for
High Technology Research, told PBN
that during the past few months they
have thoroughly vetted the Excelerator
program with stakeholders, venture
funders, other accelerator programs
and the local energy community.
Hawaii Renewable Energy Development
Venture and the Excelerator are programs
of the Pacific International Center for
High Technology Research, a Hawaiibased nonprofit that has been a catalyst
for technology development since 1983.

be extremely beneficial for Hawaii energy
companies as well as for moving the state

Online sales help smaller retailers
compete with the big-box chains
RETAIL
BY STEPHANIE SILVERSTEIN
PACIFIC BUSINESS NEWS
More local retailers are going online to
compete with big-box chains for holiday
shoppers.
Online shopping is enabling them to
expand their customer base regardless
of the size and location of their brickand-mortar stores. They also are seeing
more shoppers checking their websites
before coming into their stores.
“I believe you have to have an online
component with your company or you’re
falling behind and you’re missing a
segment of the market out there,” said
Drake Hano, a manager at Island Olive
Oil Co., which opened at Ward Centre
about two months ago.
Although the company is new, Hano
said it already has received online orders
from the Neighbor Islands and the U.S.
Mainland.
The Compleat Kitchen, with retail
stores at the Kahala Mall and in Japan,
started its online shopping component
earlier this year after seeing its customers wait in long lines — right up until
store closing hours — during the 2011
holiday shopping season.
General Manager Jennifer Lin said
they built the online shopping portion
of their website as a benefit to customers
so that they could shop online 24 hours
a day while avoiding the crowds. But
customers have been slow to respond
to it, because they don’t know it’s available, she said.
The company is now promoting its

online shopping option to its store
customers, offering coupons to use
online.
“We don’t really see the people coming [online], but hopefully next year by
this time we’ll be more well-known,”
Lin said.
Companies with a more-established online presence are enjoying
the benefits of online holiday shopping this year. Honolulu Cookie Co.,
which started investing in the online
marketplace 10 years ago, does about
half of its online business during the
holiday shopping season. E-commerce
accounts for about 5 percent of its sales
throughout the year.
Honolulu Cookie Co. started small
and built its investment in the online
market as demand grew. It now has an
e-commerce team of three full-time
employees and hired 10 seasonal employees this year to help with production and shipping.
“Retailers are very smart about
spending money, for the most part,
which is why they’re able to survive
through the downturns,” said Ginger Waters, Honolulu Cookie Co.’s
vice president of marketing. “They
don’t just lavish money on the newest, latest thing — they watch it for
a while and get into it when they feel
it’s pertinent.”
Waters couldn’t put a price tag on
the online marketplace, but said the
company makes sure it’s cost-effective.
“Otherwise, it doesn’t make any
sense to do it,” she said.
Martin & MacArthur introduced the
online portion of its business about
three years ago and considers it to be
one of its retail stores. President and
CEO Michael Tam said the company
initially invested less than $10,000 to
create its website and manages it internally, so the ongoing hosting charge
is less than $400 per month.
Online shopping has grown to
account for 10 percent of Martin &
MacArthur’s business, and Tam is
projecting for it to increase to 25 percent to 30 percent by mid-2014. About
95 percent of the online shoppers are
from out-of-state.
There’s a benefit to having an online
presence, even for in-store sales.
Tam said consumers do their research on the company and its products before shopping in the brick-andmortar stores.
“It’s been really instrumental for
us, because it’s allowed customers to
learn about our products before going
to the stores,” he said. “There’s untold
revenue that’s coming into our stores,
because they read about it online and
they come into our stores. That doesn’t
get counted as online revenue, but
online helped to get that.”

“When you look at

The new store concept, he says, pays
tribute to the great surfers of Hawaii,
specifically Oahu. It includes a tribute
to Eddie Aikau, an agave wooden surfboard shaped by George Downing and
other items from Hawaii surfers.
“We wanted to put all our effort on
creating a memorable, authentic Hawaii

Quicksilver and surfing,” Kam said.
He declined to share the cost of the
renovation, but said it was in the high

The store remained open during the
renovations, which are expected to be

Marn and Kimberly Zeeb, who own
Koloa Mill Ice Cream and Coffee at the
Old Koloa Shopping Center, said they
began offering a variety of popcorn
flavors at their ice cream store and at
local parades to see how well it would
catch on with the community.
“The response from the test market
was really good,” Marn Zeeb said.
So, they decided to open Paradise
Popcorn in the Poipu Shopping Village at 2360 Kiahuna Plantation Drive.
As its name implies, it’s not just ordinary popcorn.
“We have flavored popcorn such as
cherry, grape, sweet cinnamon, and
blue raspberry,” Zeeb said. “Then
we’ll also have kettle corn, cheddar
cheese and movie theater popcorn.”

Hawaiian Organic Noni, a Kauaibased farm that grows the noni superfruit, will begin offering educational
farm tours by Jan. 1.
Owner and founder Steve Frailey
said the 30-year-old business is known
for transforming the superfruit into
edible fruit leather and topical skin
products that are used as natural, alternative medicine.
He is buying another 17.5 acres to
expand the 39-acre farm and plans to
host wellness tours for the first time.
“We will probably start the tours
two days a week and eventually move
to four days a week,” he said. “We’re
a completely organic and self-sustainable farm, so part of the tour will educate people on how they can take what
we’re doing on a large scale and apply
it on a small scale.”
His products are available in 100
retail stores statewide and in another
200 stores on the Mainland. He said
Long’s Drugs will start carrying his
products in February.
Frailey emphasized that a key aspect of his product is the fact that he
uses the whole fruit and not just the
juice. Once noni ferments, it creates
alcohol, which destroys nutrients
and changes its chemical compound,
weakening the fruit’s effectiveness as
a juice.

Leather Soul owner Tom Park describes his new Downtown Honolulu shop at 119 Merchant St., which opens
Monday, as a ‘total men’s select shop.’ He is targeting downtown business executives with his high-end apparel.
Kauai’s Kilohana Plantation
is about to get a new lounge
has lost since moving to Waikiki.
He also is using the downtown
location to launch an expanded
men’s apparel and accessories line,
including shirts, ties and skin-care
products.
“It’s basically a men’s shop,” he
said.
Park hopes Leather Soul’s menswear will appeal to downtown executives. The average price of a pair of
dress shoes at Leather Soul is $1,500.
Jan. 26, 2013, will raise money for the
United Way, Atkins said, and likely

Land sale offers opportunity
to be a Kona coffee farmer
A five-acre Kona coffee estate on the
Big Island is on the market for $1.15
million.
The 2,499-square-foot home sits on
about an acre of land with the other
four acres occupied by about 2,000
coffee-producing trees with space to
plant about 1,000 additional trees. It is
located in a gated subdivision of Hualalai Farms in the Kona Coffee Belt.
Todd Barrett, a Realtor for Hawaii
Life Real Estate Brokers, is marketing
the property, which he says is a rare opportunity to be a Kona coffee farmer.

Local hotels are at the start of what
will be a strong holiday season that will
carry into an even stronger first quarter
of 2013, considered the peak season for
Hawaii’s visitor industry.
“This really is the beginning of our
busy season,” said Joseph Toy, president
and CEO of Hospitality Advisors LLC.
Industry experts are expecting Waikiki
hotels to be nearly full during the holidays
and throughout the first quarter of 2013.
Neighbor Island hotels are experiencing
strong bookings thanks to spillover demand from Waikiki, new and increased
direct airlift, and return visitors looking
for different Hawaiian Island experiences.
Even the Big Island, where occupancies have been lagging behind the other
major islands throughout the year, is
expected to have a busy season, Toy said.
“Any time we have compression on Oahu
it helps motivate our industry partners,
our tour operators, to promote the Neighbor Islands,” said David Uchiyama, vice
president of brand management for the
Hawaii Tourism Authority. “As we have
more-consistent compression on Oahu,
we’re seeing the different markets like
Japan, Korea and Australia recognize there
are opportunities on the Neighbor Islands.”
Barry Wallace, executive vice president of hospitality services for Outrigger Enterprises Group, said the company
is seeing a lot of strength in Neighbor
Island hotel occupancy.
“It’s not up to Oahu levels yet, but year
over year, it’s probably a similar rate of
increase,” he said.
Oahu hotels operating near capacity
have helped to boost Neighbor Island
business, he said.
“We’re pretty much at capacity on
Oahu and have been for the last 14 or 15
months,” Wallace said. “The destination
is pretty much full.”
Jerry Gibson, area vice president for
Hilton Hawaii, said occupancy levels at
the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki
Beach Resort and the Hilton Waikoloa
Village on the Big Island are higher than
they were a year ago — Oahu by a couple
of percentage points and the Big Island by
about 3 percentage points. He declined to
provide specific occupancy percentages.
The Grand Wailea on Maui, which
is managed by Hilton, is running at 86
percent occupancy for the month of
December, which is consistent with most
of 2012, according to a spokeswoman
for the resort.

Planting the seeds for continued growth
Landscapers build affluent
client base by providing
quality and consistency
BY DUANE SHIMOGAWA
PACIFIC BUSINESS NEWS
very morning before work, the 70
or so employees at Performance
Landscapes do a warm-up routine that includes jumping jacks.
Although this may seem like
a small detail to some, co-owners Matt
Lyum and Benedicto Abrigado see it as
a big reason why the Honolulu-based
high-end landscaping company has been
able to sustain success during the past
decade.
Performance Landscapes puts a premium on the quality of its staff, who
are all employees, not independent
contractors.
The strategy appears to be working.
The company is consistently able to
find and retain a hefty client list that
currently stands at more than 200 in
both residential and commercial arenas
on Oahu, Maui and Kauai. It also has a
wait list of about 10 clients.
On a recent day, both Lyum and
Abrigado were on the job at the Peninsula at Hawaii Kai, a residential complex
in East Oahu that has been a client for
more than five years.
Peter Younce, president of the Peninsula’s board of directors, told PBN that
it recently executed a nonbid contract
with Performance Landscapes.
“They have been working here for so
long,” he said. “It’s a complex property
[to maintain] with many different product types and [Performance Landscapes]
has the experience in knowing the different areas.”
Another of its longtime clients is Peter
Ho, chairman, president and CEO of
Bank of Hawaii, who says the company
has great employees and has always
delivered as promised.
“Great service and always reliable,”
Ho said in an email to PBN.
Performance Landscapes’ monthly
fees range from $200 to thousands of
dollars. It gets its business mostly from
referrals and word-of-mouth advertising. It does no traditional advertising
and does not even have a website.
Still, revenue growth has been steady
at 20 percent this year and there are
projections for similar growth in 2013,
Lyum said, adding that yearly revenue
is in the $3 million range.
Performance Landscapes has an office
and warehouse totaling 2,500 square feet
at the Kapalama Military Reservation,
which is scheduled to become a new
container terminal. Most tenants at the
90-acre industrial complex have until
early 2014 to relocate. Lyum says they
have plans to move to a 5,000-squarefoot Kalihi property that they bought a
couple of years ago.
Performance Landscapes has clearly
found its niche in the affluent market.
It is able to retain these customers by

Consistently finding and retaining
clients.
Benedicto Abrigado and Matt Lyum, co-founders of Performance Landscapes,
say hiring employees instead of independent contractors has enabled them to
maintain high quality. They expect to increase revenues by 20 percent this year.
aking sure it is keeping up with quality
measures such as certifications, training
and safety items.
“It’s a service business and you just
have to stay on top of it,” Lyum said.
“If you take a couple of weeks off, it’s
going to be tough to keep up with that
high quality.”
A key strategy is shutting down the
company one day each year to focus
entirely on training.
And, to be consistent and organized, it
has specialized software for scheduling
and tracking.
“You have to know when your equipment needs an oil change,” Lyum said.
Performance Landscapes
Performance Landscapes also realizes
that the quality of its work depends on
the quality of its employees. That’s why
it has never sought out independent
contractors.
“To keep the focus on our customers,
we keep working on our foundation,”
Lyum said. “We know the [customers]
are going to come.”
He said the company is looking to
open a satellite office in East Oahu and
a nursery yard to accommodate future
growth.
Lyum, 50, spent years honing his craft
at a local composting business and at
another Honolulu landscaping com-

■ Maintain quality by building a staff

■ Save advertising costs by using referrals to build the customer base.
pany, where he met and became close
friends with Abrigado, his future business partner.
Abrigado, 54, a former farmer in the
Philippines, has been in the landscaping
business for 17 years.
The two men decided to branch out
after seeing that they could do better
on their own than working for others.
“We just wanted to perform,” said
Lyum, noting that’s where the company’s name came from. “In this type
of business, you have to be organized
and consistent and on top of it.”

It’s awesome!
■ Play with social. One of the
fastest-growing social sites is Pinterest. My wife created a board a
few months ago called “Cute Baby
Clothes for Boys.” It’s a part-time
hobby for her but the amazing thing
is she already has 600-plus followers
and receives two to three baby outfits
per month from various manufacturers. They send her those outfits free,
just to say thanks for sending them so
much business through her Pinterest board. I am not saying you should
be like her. Instead, I am saying you
should be like those manufacturers.
■ Try PPC. This is a good one for
the holidays. PPC is geek-speak for
“Pay-Per-Click” advertising. Instead
of dumping money into something
like Yellow Pages, where you were
locked into a 12-month contract and
really couldn’t discern how many
people were viewing your ad, PPC
advertising via Google, Facebook and
LinkedIn, for example, lets you send
a highly focused ad to a very specific
demographic. You control everything,
including where in the world the ad is
displayed and who gets to see it. You
also have full control over how much
you want to spend per click, per day,
per month, etc.
■ Drill into your data. In the tech
industry, we love to use words like
“big data” because it sounds cool and
really is the new thing. There’s a ton
of money to be earned by helping
companies know more about their
customers, the efficiencies of their
business operations, and the changing
competitive landscape.
The last thing I want to say is I have
a 7-month-old baby boy named Jett.
He’s the first kid I’ve manufactured
and he’s the best thing I’ve ever done!
Lately, he’s been trying to stand up.
It’s a clumsy and endearing effort but
he’s not yet good at it. Most importantly, he’s always ready and willing to
try again — even after an unplanned
tumble.
Our approach to emerging technologies should be the same. We should be
unwaveringly curious and always be
at the ready to get back up. If we can
do that, every day of the year, then we
will always be competitive.

s you may know, I have a martial arts school for children call
Smart Karate (smartkarate.com).
I love to tell the kids that every day
is their birthday, every day is Christmas, and every day is Thanksgiving.
The reactions are predictably silly
and wild-eyed with impish protest and
disbelief. But when I go on to explain
how we SHOULD view every new day
as something special, they gradually
begin to see how they can change
their own perspectives and ultimately
feel more empowered.
We business owners play this “black
belt trick” fairly often. And we usually
do it quietly in our heads. It keeps us
hopeful and forever pushing forward
— filling the unforgiving minute with
60 seconds’ worth of distance run, as
Kipling would say.
The good thing about national
holidays is they give us humans nice
little reminders about what’s truly
important and to start planning for a
better future. We need these markers,
especially when we get too busy taking care of business.
So, in the spirit of the coming new
year, the ability to chart our own
futures, and the joy of using emerging technologies to help us do more
by doing less, I will share with you a
quick checklist of tech resolutions for
your business. What we ultimately
want is pretty simple: happy customers, happy employees and a happy
CPA. And, if we can change the world
for the better, then we are doing very,
very well.
Here’s how you can leverage technology next year to capture new
clients, keep them, and have plenty of
money in the bank:
■ Nuke your website. Chances are
you have one. But you most likely
haven’t re-imagined what it can be

Why I took this job: Owning my own
fitness facility has been a long-time
dream for me, so this opportunity is
truly a dream come true.
Like most about the job: Being able to
make an impact in the health and wellness of others and make a living doing it.
Immediate priority: To help maturing individuals improve their overall
health through fitness and working
out by providing a clean, affordable
and nonintimidating fitness center.
Long-term challenge: To have confirmation throughout our community
that health and fitness are key components to the success and longevity of
our country. We need to understand
that without good health and proper
fitness, we really have nothing.

Communications Pacific
DECEMBER 14, 2012
My goal is to reach out to business
leaders and offer corporate wellness
strategies and programs, so that businesses throughout Oahu can become
more active in supporting the health
and fitness of their employees.
Biggest challenges in my industry:
Keeping both people and businesses
motivated to maintain and promote a
healthy lifestyle.
Essential business philosophy: Lead
by example. I believe this goes for leaders in all fields and sectors of business.
Best way to keep a competitive edge:
Education. There are so many changes every day as health, fitness and science discoveries and progressions are
made, so the only way to be an educator in my field is to be best-educated
about health and fitness myself.
Best business decision: Deciding to
work for myself and become a full-

time personal trainer. Training and
working with many, many different
people has taught me so much more
about individual fitness than any
book or seminar ever could. It has
given me the drive to push toward realizing the dream of owning and operating a full-service fitness facility for
the maturing individual and others.
Biggest risk taken in my career: Closing my personal training studio, relocating my family, and going all in with
Punahou Fitness Center.
What I value in my employees: My
employees all have a similar passion
for being fit and working out. This is
something I value, not only because
we work in a gym, but because being
fit and healthy, in my opinion, holds
one of the most important values in
life, next to family.
Most important lesson learned: Never take anything in life for granted.
This lesson goes deep into all dynamics of my life. This is a lesson I continue to learn and grow from every day.
Issue that keeps me up at night:
Making sure the decisions I make ensure my family and my business will
be taken care of, in that order.
I’m inspired by: Special-population
individuals (such as those battling
Parkinson’s, Lou Gehrig’s disease, MS,
or recovering from an injury) who continue to push forward and progress in
their lives even when faced with huge
amounts of adversity and challenge.

FIRST WIND: North Shore sites eyed for solar projects

wind projects in Kahuku and Kawailoa.
Wescoatt says that First Wind
would like to start by focusing on land
it already leases for its 69-megawatt
Kawailoa Wind farm, which sits on
the 6,000 acres of Kawailoa farm lands
on the North Shore owned by Kamehameha Schools.
It also is planning to do solar on the 500
acres it owns at its 30-megawatt Kahuku
Wind project on the North Shore, which
has been offline since August because
of a fire in its battery energy storage
system warehouse.
“I think that utility-scale solar is really going to play a big part in Hawaii
getting off of fossil fuel,” said Wescoatt.
“It’s going to be the next big thing locally, [and you] already see it [on the]
residential [side] and you will see it on
the utility scale.”
This would not be the first time a wind
developer with a utility-scale project
in Hawaii is proposing to develop large
solar farms.
Last year, Sempra U.S. Gas & Power,
which developed the 21-megawatt Auwahi Wind project on Maui, proposed
to build a $1 billion, 300-megawatt solar
farm on Navy land near Pearl Harbor.
But earlier this year, it scrapped those
plans. A spokesman for the Californiabased renewable-energy developer told
PBN that it has nothing further to share
at this point.
Andrew Krulewitz, a PV analyst for
Boston-based GTM Research, told PBN
that it’s not all that surprising to see
wind developers getting into solar.
He has seen several similar companies on the Mainland investing heavily
in utility-scale solar in places such as
California, Arizona and Nevada — all
hot beds for solar-energy development.
“Obviously, the [wind developers]
have contacts with the utilities, and I
don’t know [that] it could be difficult
to use the land for solar, provided that
the utility is getting the [best] deal,”
he said.
As far as First Wind is concerned,
Krulewitz says they have the chops to
put these kinds of projects together, as
evidenced by their successful achievements in wind.
“[Plus], from a permitting process,
you get a lot less push back for a solar
farm, compared to a 150-foot high turbine,” he said.
But Krulewitz also noted that First
Wind will face some challenges in this

area. For instance, with the high amount
of activity going on, the success of pulling it off is largely based on the economics of the system.
“If you can find an in-state tax credit,
then it makes sense,” he said.
Meanwhile, Forest City Hawaii’s Wallenstrom says there is often a disconnect
in Hawaii between stated policy goals
that require long-term thinking and
financial commitments and a legislative
process that creates uncertainty on an
annual basis.
“Large energy projects are good job
creators, give Hawaii a unique place in
the global business environment, and
create lots of nonpolluting energy,” he
said. “[But] these projects get done only
if a sponsor has a core belief that over
the life of the investment there will be a
regulatory and economic environment
that supports the financial structure of
the transaction.”
Wallenstrom noted that there is good
economic analysis that indicates these
projects create significant benefits that
go beyond state-sponsored financing
vehicles.
“But our state equivocates annually
on our commitment to the industry,”
he said. “We need to figure out here in
Hawaii if this is an industry that we
want, and if the answer is yes, provide
certainty and predictability.”

cently flipped the switch on its 1.23-megawatt photovoltaic project in Pearl City
on Oahu, say there are challenges with
these types of projects.
“As a project’s size increases, the
financing becomes more sophisticated and the project sponsor needs to
make significant construction commitments,” said Jon Wallenstrom,
president of Forest City Hawaii. “Because we have such uncertainty at the
Legislature annually, it is difficult to
proceed with large projects and create
the associated renewable energy and
provide the associated jobs.”
Currently, there are four utility-scale
solar farms on Oahu, which allow electricity to be sold wholesale to utility
buyers instead of end-use consumers.
According to the U.S. trade group Solar
Energy Industries Association, utilityscale solar plants provide the biggest
benefit of fixed-price electricity during
peak demand periods when power from
fossil fuels is the most expensive.
Wescoatt told PBN that First Wind is
hoping to build these types of projects
during the next few years. It would follow the same business model as it does
for its wind projects, which means that
it will hire a contractor to build the
developments.

FISCAL CLIFF: Docs face deep cuts if deal isn’t reached

come from Medicare and Medicaid,”
Kintu said. “Nobody knows how much
the cuts will be. It would reduce our
ability to provide access to care.”
The cuts could mean layoffs and turning away up to 5,000 of the medical center’s 21,000 patients, Kintu said.
“It’s going to have an impact on the
uninsured and the homeless,” he added.
Janet Liang, Hawaii Region president
for Kaiser Permanente, echoed Kintu’s
and Keene’s views that predicting the
full impact on the health-care industry
for
Rick Keene
Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President,
The Queen’s Medical Center
is a guessing game.
“It’s not clear what the impact would
be since there are so many possibilities,”
she said in an email. “It’s really difficult
to predict at this stage what the outcome
might be and when it will be known.”
Officials with the Healthcare Association of Hawaii said the plan calls for a
2 percent cut in Medicare reimbursements, but how that will be applied is an
unknown. The more profitable providers
could suffer larger cuts in Medicare reimbursements, or it could be across the
board, said Paul Young, director of public
policy and reimbursement for HAH.
Medicare and Medicaid payments
to hospitals already have been cut 2
percent the past two years as part of
the initial implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
Physicians, meanwhile, are facing a
27 percent cut in Medicare reimbursements, and that could mean they would
end up turning away patients who receive those benefits, Young said.
“It would be a huge shock to the system,” he said. “If you don’t have good
access to primary care, you are going to
end up in a hospital [emergency room]
or an inpatient bed.”
Liang said Kaiser is keeping tabs on
what is happening regarding the fiscal cliff through its policy experts in
Washington. Most of the talks on it
are taking place among policy makers
behind the scenes rather than in public
hearings, she said.
If a deal isn’t reached, most of those
interviewed for this story said it is too
early to tell whether there could be layoffs or what the other impacts could be.
Kaiser, like other health-care providers, is looking at several possibilities
on how it might cope with any cuts in
funding.
Despite the gridlock to date in Washington, Keene, Kintu and Liang said they
believe a deal will get done, with Keene
adding: “They argue back and forth, and
at the end of the day, they reach some
arrangement.”
Liang said Kaiser Permanente believes
there has to be a deal, but she wouldn’t
predict when it could be reached.
“Deep down, I think they are going to
reach a deal, but we have been proven
wrong before,” Kintu said. “I’m 80 percent confident they will reach a deal.”

said. “We have developed long-range
financial forecasts and looked at what
could happen in regard to reimbursements. We try to anticipate the worstcase scenario, best-case scenario and
other models. You aren’t going to be able
to recover the money [lost from cuts].”
Queen’s doesn’t envision any potential
cuts impacting the way it cares for its
patients, but the hospital is looking at
ways to become operationally more efficient and reduce costs.
Emmanuel Kintu, CEO of the KalihiPalama Medical Center, said not only
would the cuts impact Medicare, but
many of the low-income Medicaid patients served by his community health
center would feel the fiscal cliff fallout
as well. His clinic is a federally qualified
community center that receives a higher
level of Medicaid reimbursement than
many other health-care providers.
Kalihi-Palama Medical Center serves
17 population groups and uses some of
its federal funding to translate literature
for its patients. As many as 15 percent
of the clinic’s patients are unemployed.
“About 45 percent of our revenues

1944 and has done both military and
commercial work over the years, calls
its new design the Ultra Deep V or Ultra
Flat hull. It spent about $1.3 million on
the design and took about six years to
perfect it, using research and development it put into work on an unmanned
boat it built for the Republic of Singapore
and while working on other projects,
company officials said.
Part of Navatek’s military legacy includes building prototypes and systems
to modify vessels. For example, it added
a control system to the high-speed crafts
used by Navy SEALs to help the small
boats handle more smoothly.
The company also has designed tour
and other commercial boats, including
a boat for Atlantis Cruises docked near
Aloha Tower Marketplace. Navatek used
to operate a boat for tourists.

NAVATEK: Sea Blade will be company’s first commercial boat
©
Am
eri

nC
ity
The lessons Navatek learned from its
other work went into the development
of its newest boat, which it is calling the
Sea Blade, said Gary Johnson, general
manager of Navatek Boat Builders.
Navatek has filed a trademark application for the Sea Blade name in 17
countries, including the United States,
Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Turkey and the United Kingdom. It is working on licensing
agreements with boat builders around
the world to produce Sea Blades.
The Sea Blade will be the first commercial boat Navatek has ever built,
said Michael Schmicker, vice president
of corporate communications. It will
build and license the rights to six models
of the design ranging from 16 feet to 36
feet long. Navatek is negotiating those
licensing agreements now.
“We’ve always had [commercial] boatbuilding aspirations,” said Navatek
Chairman Steven Loui. “Here we will
build it ourselves and market it ourselves. The military is interested in
this hull.”
Loui’s father, Fred Loui, started the
company under the name Pacific Marine, with Navatek being a subsidiary.
The Sea Blade should appeal to boaters
because the hull’s new design is made to
handle Hawaii’s rough waters, and it will
be one of the most significant changes
in basic hull design for pleasure boating
since the 1950s, according to Loui. The
boat will range in price from $20,000 to
$300,000 depending on the size, materials it is made out of and how the buyer
wants it fitted. The larger versions could
be fitted with cabins, while the smaller
ones could be used for fishing, much like
a Boston Whaler, he added.
“To perform differently you have to
look different,” Loui said.
The company should be ready to start
producing the three smallest models —
a 16-foot boat, 18-footer and 20-footer in
aluminum or fiberglass — on a per-order
basis from its shipyard at Pier 41 in
January. And production on the larger
models is expected to start in March.
The company doesn’t anticipate hiring
additional staff.
“We are already giving demonstration
rides,” Loui said. “It’s a game-change
with the ride quality.”

next for UH.
We do think Jay’s impending arrival
represents a new direction for UH
athletics. And, we’re ready to be convinced that the change will be a step
in the right direction. We don’t think
Jay’s position is one that should be
seen only at games and around campus. We are hopeful that his financial
acumen allows him to be strongly connected to Hawaii’s business leaders.
We’re also hopeful that, in addition
to filling this key vacancy or any others going forward, UH is doing things
such as putting the processes in place
that allow it to be better prepared the
next time scammers come calling.
We need to have such confidence
in all these things, because the UH
system is annually entrusted with
billions of dollars that we expect it to
use to produce our state’s next generation of skilled workers, leaders
and problem solvers. If it can’t get
something right that seemingly is as
simple as hosting a benefit concert,
we have a harder time thinking that
everything must be OK in the classrooms and research labs. And, that,
more than the record of our football
team or the cost of fielding a water
polo team, is the real challenge facing
Jay and other UH leaders.
-N
month ago, we suggested that
all those who cared about the
University of Hawaii system
should stop the name-calling
and agenda-setting and take the equivalent of a half-time break.
To continue with that analogy in
this space, the decision to hire Ohio
State University’s Ben Jay as Hawaii’s
new athletics director would seem to
indicate that UH has come out of the
locker room and, in its first play from
scrimmage, revealed a different strategy than the one it had under former
A.D. Jim Donovan.
First off, Jay is an outsider. Many
in the UH ohana wanted interim A.D.
Rockne Freitas to be given the chance
to hold onto the job. But Freitas made
things easy by not putting his name in
the hat, and the Board of Regents went
long — all the way to the Buckeye State
— to find Donovan’s replacement. Jay
has spent time in what is now the PAC12, but he’s made his name at The Ohio
State University, where he’s served as
senior associate athletics director for
the past six years and
was responsible for the
school’s $132.4 million
department
OUR VIEW athletics
budget.
What does that tell us
about UH’s priorities?
It’s looking for someone who can
produce a P&L statement that is just
as strong as its football team’s W-L
record.
Consider this initial comment about
Jay from UH Manoa Chancellor Tom
Apple: “I am delighted that Ben is
joining us as UH athletics director,
and know that he will be a great addition to our Manoa ohana with his
vision and strong finance, accounting
and compliance background.”
In a story about college athletics
this week in the Wall Street Journal,
Ohio State University was listed
among the 19 percent of Division 1
universities with a football program
that also had a financially self-supporting athletics department in 2011.
One reasonably could conclude, given
his role, that Jay had something to do
with that kind of success.
Now that UH has appeared to make
peace with President M.R.C. Greenwood and the A.D. vacancy has been
filled, all eyes will be on what happens

a) Runnerup to Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel for the Heisman
Trophy.
b) Winner of seven national awards,
including two for the nation’s best collegiate football player.
If you selected “a,” you understand
the power of marketing and branding.
The seven awards that will go into
the Laie native’s trophy case include
the Maxwell Award for the nation’s
most outstanding player and the Walter Camp National Player of the Year
Award.
The Heisman Trophy also went to
a player considered to be the nation’s
best — but to Manziel, not Teo.
So, which award is the most prestigious? All are significant, but the
Heisman stands the tallest — if you
believe the hype.
Credit it to the Downtown Athletic
Club of New York, which has been
presenting the Heisman Trophy
since 1937. Seeking to build membership, the club’s officers instructed
its athletic director, former Georgia
Tech football coach John Heisman, to

Heisman, more

thought it was a bad

came up with a sysJIM

Originally called the

DAC award, it was renamed in Heisman’s
memory following his death. Nearly
eight decades later, it is regarded as
the premier award in college football
and, since 2005, it has rated live, primetime TV coverage on ESPN.
Hawaii football fans may remember
the role the Downtown Athletic Club
played in the old Hula Bowl back in
the 1990s. When the all-star games
were being played on Maui, then-owners Lenny and Marcia Klompus struck
a deal with the club to bring Heisman
Trophy winners to the games. Fans
were able to interact with Heisman
winners such as Glenn Davis (1946),
George Rogers (1980), Doug Flutie
(1984) and Desmond Howard (1991).
The Heisman even survived terrorist attacks and bankruptcy. The
Downtown Athletic Club, located less
than a half-mile from the World Trade
Center, was not damaged by the Sept.

forced to close during the cleanup
and never reopened as a club. Unable
to cope with the financial impact,
the Downtown Athletic Club filed for
bankruptcy in 2002.
But, due to its strong brand identity,
the Heisman Trophy award survived,
moving uptown, eventually to the
Nokia Theatre Times Square, where
this year’s presentation was held.
When asked to create an award that
would bear his name, John Heisman
reportedly responded, “Why?”
That’s a good question to ask today,
nearly eight decades later. Why is the
Heisman more important than the
other awards, at least in the eyes of
the media?
One reason may be John Heisman’s
brilliant idea to let sportswriters
choose the winners. That automatically generated a lot of “press” from
sportswriters covering an event that
they were part of.
More importantly, though, was the
Downtown Athletic Club’s dedication
to its brand and its ability to market
that brand.
We could argue forever about which
collegiate football player was the best
in the nation this year. What is beyond
argument is the fact that when it
comes to hyping its event, the Heisman outperforms its competition year
after year.

Hawaii’s house/condo market maintains its fast pace
REAL ESTATE
PBN STAFF
Home sales across Hawaii continued
their fast pace in November, with doubledigit gains for both single-family and
condominium sales on almost every
island, compared to the same month
a year ago.
Median sales prices also ticked up last
month in nearly every market. The biggest gains were seen in Neighbor Island
condos, with Maui County leading the
way with a 47.5 percent jump in the
median sales price compared to last year.
But the state’s housing market did
see some negatives as well, especially
on the Big Island, which reported de-
clines of 10.8 percent and 21.4 percent,
respectively, in home and condo sales.
Note that the smaller number of sales
on the Neighbor Islands tends to create
more dramatic percentage changes than
on Oahu.
