Lawai Beach Resort - Spring 2015 Newsletter

2016 Maintenance Fees
On May 20th, the 2016 Budgets were approved with increases
to the maintenance fees. The increases vary from .07% to 11.6%,
depending on the unit type. An average of 7% is directly related
to the real property tax methodology change.
The change to step up our foreclosure process (which eliminated
the Mahalo Week program) saved labor cost of 40 hours per week
in the office staff. This eliminated the possibility of a special
assessment for the increase of $92,500 for property tax which is
payable in August.
We were able to lower capital reserve contribution for Coral and
the AOAO as their 2016 projects are fully funded. This is not the
case with Alii (just completed a $3.1 million renovation) and
Banyan (currently in renovations).
The 2016 Statements were mailed the first week of July.

Aloha from Sunny Poipu!
The replacement of the Alii hallway carpet began on June 1st and due
to spalling concerns found after lifting the carpet, it may take as long
as 8 weeks to complete. As for the railings, our staff will start painting
them shortly. It is soon time to replace the major appliances (range,
microwave and hood combo, dishwasher, washer and dryer) in these
units. The refrigerators were replaced during the renovation, so it is
not needed. We are working to have samples and proposals prepared
for the Board members to view at the September meeting.
There are a total of 25 units renovated in the Banyan building. The
Board has reconsidered redesigning the entertainment center of the
Executive Suites as they received a few comments in opposition. We
will still be replacing the TV with a larger unit.
The tile replacement in the Coral units began on July 4th. This
project will span over a two year period, with the final unit
completed in August 2017. The renovation schedule will be
available at our Front Desk, Reservation Desk and on-line for your
review when requesting your future reservations.
A new contractor has been chosen for the Lika Lani window
replacement and bathroom renovation projects. We will be taking
the entire building out of service from August through September for
these projects. We are also working with the investor and
contractor in the hopes of completing the roof replacement and solar
panel installation as well.
In January, our rental procedures changed to obtain more revenues
and lower costs. As of June 30th, 82 weeks have been rented with an
income of over $88,000. This is an average of $1,073 per week. Our
labor has also been cut by 40 hours a week between our reservations
and accounting departments.

a lifelong journey of a hula dancer
Jayna Kau’iokalanimalie Shaffer is the youngest daughter of Patsy and Walter Shaffer. If you don’t
already recognize those names, Patsy is our Rooms Manager and Walter is a former Associate of our
Engineering Department. Jayna is the youngest of their three daughters and the only one who chose
to dance hula. When you enter the Shaffer home you can follow her hula journey as their living room
proudly displays her photos and achievements. She has been dancing for 19 years, pursuing her
dream to become a Kumu hula (hula teacher). Hula is her life’s passion; growing up in Halau Ka Lei
Mokihana ‘O Leina’ala with her Kumu Jonelle Leina’ala Jardin.
Her journey began in 1996, when she was enrolled
in Keiki (baby) class. Patsy remembers Jayna always
glancing at her feet to ensure she was doing what Kumu
was teaching her. She graduated to Na ‘Opio (youth) class
in 2003. After just two years, she advanced to Wahine
(woman) class, where she decided to seriously perpetuate
and preserve the hula. She became a Ho’opa’a in 2010.
However, the most important moment was in 2013 when
Kumu Leina’ala performed ‘Uniki to graduate her from Ho’opa’a to ‘Alaka’i
(leader). This rite was done at Ke Ahua Laka, a hula heiau on Kaua’i. These steps are part of the rites to become a Kumu hula.
You must first exemplify and perpetuate the Hawaiian culture before these titles can be bestowed onto you. Jayna received a
certificate of completion from Kauai Community College (KCC) for Hawaiian Studies in 2012. A memorable year as this was
her first participation in the Merrie Monarch Festival, an annual and prestigious hula competition held in Hilo, Hawai’i. She
entered the Miss Aloha Hula and group competition. Jayna did not place in the solo competition
but the halau received 4th place for their ‘auana (modern hula) in the group competition.
Kumu Leina’ala entered Jayna to
compete a second time this past April
for the Miss Aloha Hula competition.
Both thought it fitting to pay tribute
to Hawaii’s voyaging canoe Hōkūle’a
on her Malama Honua (to care for our
earth) Worldwide Voyage. Preparations
began in August 2014 with Jayna’s
enrollment in the Polynesian Voyaging
Class at KCC to be immersed in the
history and heritage of Hōkūle’a.
-14-
Her kahiko (traditional hula) performance was a mele ma’i or a mele with sexual
connotations. He Ho’ole’a no Hōkūle’a tells the story of a love affair between
the Kane Ki’i (man tiki) and the Wahine Ki’i (woman tiki) on the Malama Honua
Worldwide Voyage. Both are located on the stern, the Kane o Hōkūle’a o Kalani
is on the starboard side of the canoe while the Kiha Wahine o Ka Mao o Malu
Ulu o Lele is on the port side. They represent our ancestors travelling with us on
our voyage and help keep us safe. For her ‘auana she performed a mele entitled
Kaua’i o Mano which was a composed by the late Dennis Kamakahi. The mele
celebrates Kaua’i and talks about viewing the sunset from the uplands of Koke’e.
It tells of how the sunset envelopes Ni’ihau like the warmth of love. His son
David Kamakahi, a musician with the group Waipuna, consistently plays for
Halau Ka Lei Mokihana ‘O Leina’ala. She performed both numbers beautifully
and the judges thought so too, placing her as the 3rd runner up. Jayna and her
‘Ohana was most ecstatic.
Jayna was so inspired by Hōkūle’a and
her crew she wanted to give back the only
way she knew how, hula. She believes
that mele and hula are the greatest gift you
could ever give someone. Kumu Leina’ala
arranged a fundraiser with benefits going to
the Hōkūle’a on her Malama Honua Worldwide Voyage and raised
$6,000. Hōkūle’a and her sister canoe Hikianalia are sailing across
Earth’s oceans to grow awareness toward a more sustainable world.
For more information on the Malama Honua Worldwide Voyage
please visit www.hokulea.com.
Jayna is currently employed at Kawaikini New Century Public
Charter School's after school program. She also accompanies her
Kumu to Japan every month to teach traditional hula to teachers
there. She plans to teach the Hawaiian culture to school children
with her ultimate goal becoming a Kumu Hula.
