NSNMay15 May 27, 2015 www.northshorenews.com Country Talk Story with Choon James O’ahu ( Important Agricultural Land) IAL Mapping Project Page 5 We’re happy to report the “good news” of Kahuku High School Waialua High School Graduating Class of 2015 The city is in the process of identify agricultural lands. If we don’t participate in the decision-making, the city will make the decisions for us. There is a lot to discuss but here is some info to start the conversation: GOGGLE SEACH: http://mapoahuagland.com/ meetings-announcements/meeting-notes/ This is what the public is saying: Hawaiian–kuleana lands. All AG land is important. Powerful forces, including corporate developers, are coveting ag lands for more developments. Ag land, whether it has good soil or not, is important for diversified agriculture and related needs – orchards, hydroponics, livestock, ranching, aquafarms, permaculture, therapy with horses and so forth. As the population increases, we need more ag land, not less for food security and long-term sustainability. The reason why there is fallow ag land is because big land owners keep their land under lock and key. This is what the city is saying: Why are we doing this? To ensure that the best of Oahu’s high-quality farm land is protected and preserved for long-term agricultural use – great lands, for great Oahu farms. The term “Important Agricultural Lands,” or IAL, is a State land use designation that identifies high-quality farm land to be protected and preserved for long-term agricultural use. In compliance with the State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes, Chapter 205), the City and County of Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) is conducting a mapping project to identify lands on O‘ahu that meet the statutory requirements for consideration as IAL. DPP is seeking input from landowners, farming interests and residents about the type of land to include in O‘ahu’s future inventory of agricultural land. The maps produced as a result of this effort will be submitted to the Honolulu City Council for review and adoption by resolution, before being sent to the State Land Use Commission for final approval.

Sponsored by The Friends of Waialua Bandstand May 27, 2015 www.northshorenews.com Senator Gil Riviere Serving Oahu’s North and Windward Shores Session Ends with Successes and Changes Unexpectedly, on the 59th day of the 60 day legislative session, Ron Kouchi became Senate President and reorganized the Senate. The timing of the leadership change is highly unusual in that leadership decisions are usually made after elections and before legislative sessions begin, not several months after an election and when the session is winding down. I was among six voting against 19 on the resolution to replace Senator Donna Kim with Senator Kouchi. As part of the reorganization, I lost my position as Vice-Chair of Agriculture, and Senators Green, Thielen and Ruderman lost their chairmanships of the committees on Health, Water and Land, and Agriculture, respectively. Senator Chun Oakland was also removed as Chair of Housing, but may retain the Chair of Human Services. I am proud to have served on all of these committees because we did a ton of good work this year. The Health Committee moved legislation to require insurance coverage for autistic children and orofacial surgery to repair cleft lips. The Water and Land Committee heeded the public will and opposed the nomination of Carlton Ching to Chair the Department of Land and Natural Resources, which led to the very qualified Suzanne Case being confirmed. The Agriculture Committee successfully established a Farm to School Coordinator to work through bureaucratic roadblocks on getting fresh, locally grown food into our schools. The Human Services and Housing Committee significantly expanded funding for affordable housing projects. The biggest news for our district this year must be passage of SB284, the restructuring of the Turtle Bay agreement. This bill authorizes the State purchase of 55 acres and City purchase of 5 acres at Kawela Bay, and places a conservation easement on 562 acres of land from Kawela to Kahuku Point. With leadership from Governor Ige and renewed negotiations by all parties, the revised agreement for preservation of these lands will involve a state investment of $35 million, City addition of $7.5 million and the Trust for Public Land and the US Army contribution of $2.5 million. Compared to last year’s agreement, the resort owners receive $3.5 million less and retain an additional 29 acres, but still propose no more than 725 units, a tremendous reduction from the 3500 envisioned a few years ago. The last four months shot past with many exciting moments and very little time to catch one’s Page 7 breath. We had the highly publicized confirmation hearings, rail tax extension, medical marijuana dispensaries, Turtle Bay conservation, Maui hospitals privatization and the dramatic Senate restructuring. I would like to thank my staff for their dedication and assistance through this strenuous period. Mahalo to my Office Manager, Kalei Keolanui, my Policy Advisor, Maxx Phillips, and to our session staff, Katie Southwick and Ellyn Tong. My phone number is 586-7330. My email address is [email protected]. If you still use a fax, you can transmit to 586-7334. Please visit us in Room 217 at the Capitol; or let’s talk closer to home, maybe the next time we pass in the street. Mahalo. Congratulations 2015 Graduates! WCA is a great place to have your party, book your graduation party today. Call Lena 637-4606 Page 8 www.northshorenews.com Representative Lauren Matsumoto Serving You in District 45 Aloha! Here in Hawaii, the ocean is a prime attraction for visitors and residents alike. We have and abundance of sandy beaches for sunbathers and swimmers, wild and rocky shorelines for fishermen, magnificent coral reefs that entice scuba divers and snorkelers, and some of the greatest surfing waves on the planet! The ocean surrounding Hawaii, however, is as hazardous as it is beautiful. Locals know that rule number one is, “Never turn your back on the ocean”, meaning you should always be observant of conditions. It is advisable to watch the ocean for at least 30 minutes before entering the water and to ask lifeguards for safety tips. The ocean is very different from a swimming pool, so you must be aware of your swimming ability. Never swim, kayak, or snorkel alone or out of sight of others. The most important guideline is to always remain calm and relaxed in the ocean. Panic leads to drowning because of uncoordinated movement and sporadic breathing. The power of the currents and waves should never be underestimated. Many serious injuries and deaths occur when people are struck by waves while they’re not watching. Watching the waves from rocks near the ocean is especially dangerous since you can be swept off by a large, unexpected wave—also known as a “rogue wave”. Rapidly moving currents can pull you away from shore even if you’re in shallow water. If you find yourself caught in a current, don’t fight against it; instead, keep calm, float, breathe, and wave to others for assistance. Because rip currents are usually narrow, you should be able to get out of it by calmly swimming perpendicular to the current. Watch out! Some sea creatures can be dangerous. Jellyfish, sharks, eels, sea urchins, and corals are the most common animals to watch for. As a general rule “Children’s Church” May 27, 2015 to avoid stings, bites, or cuts, don’t attempt to touch or provoke any sea life. Avoid contact with coral or sharp rocks and keep your hands and feet clear of any dark crevices where a curious eel or sea urchin may be lurking. Lastly—and what may be the most important rules to follow—“When in doubt, don’t go out,” and never take your eye off children in the water, no matter how calm the ocean. I hope you find this information helpful. Enjoy the ocean and stay safe out there! I’m always eager to hear from you so if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, please feel free to contact me at (808) 586-9490, [email protected], or RepMatsumoto.com. May 27, 2015 www.northshorenews.com State Representative Feki Pouha Serving You in District 47 Aloha Kakou! CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES! And also thanks to all those family, friends and others who supported every grad to get to this special point in their journey. It takes great people to support those who strive to complete difficult tasks and achieve the requirements for graduation. I would also like to express my great gratitude to my family and friends who have supported me through my formal education (from elementary to law school) and life journey. I know for sure that it is not a simple task. CONGRATS OTHER STUDENTS! Not only do graduates deserve recognition, but also other students, teachers, administration and staff. They continue to provide the best they can to get our students to be life-long learners and contributive citizens. Mahalo! The school year is drawing to a close and everyone involved in education have done their best in the classroom and also in cocurricular activities like “May Day.” I recently have attended many celebrations at our schools and I am impressed by the hard work, display of diverse cultures and supportive family atmosphere that highlights our great local schools. CIVIC ENGAGEMENT CONGRATS: Senate Bill 284 Another example worthy of congratulations is Senate Bill 284 and how it was able to survive and reach a good compromise to fulfill a great mission. Your emails, calls, letters and conversations really showed how critical citizen involvement is in the legislative process. The Turtle Bay/Kawela Bay easement-fee-purchase in Senate Bill 284 had technically died in one of the House committees, but through the power of community, respectful understanding and dedication, SB284’s purpose was preserved. I learned in this process that when we participate in the legislative process, it is recommended that respectful understanding and communicating be practiced to achieve favorable results. RESPONSIBLE DRIVING ON OUR ROAD: Traffic Safety, Remembering Victims of Fatal Crashes In Hawaii, approximately two people are killed a week in a traffic accident. The picture on the left represents each life lost in a traffic crash from 2010 – 2014; a total of 535. Hawaii Highway Safety Plan gathers government officials from state, city, federal as well as law enforcement and the judiciary to develop a five year comprehensive plan striving to focus on efforts to make our streets and highways Page 9 safer. Constituent Karlotta Carvalho shares her family’s tragic story of losing their son Waika in a crash close to home. This coalition of Traffic management officials hopes to bring an awareness, increased enforcement and legislation in hopes of reducing Hawaii’s rising traffic crash statistics.

May 27, 2015 Mister Triple-Crown continued from page 1 and to Australia. And will anyone equal Kelly Slater’s eleven world championships? Waimea’s hero, Eddie Aikau, who would, and did, “go.” Greg Noll and Gerry Lopez at the Pipe. Arguably, Randy Rarick has the chops to paddle out and join these legends in the lineup. The Executive Director of Van’s Triple Crown, the “World Series” of surfing, for all of the event’s 33 years, Randy has surfed for 55 years in over 60 countries, and has by his own estimates shaped “thousands of boards” and “glassed ten-thousand dings.” This month he was inducted into the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame, and in June will be honored in a ceremony at the North Shore Chamber of Commerce on the occasion of his retirement … only the two most recent of a long list of honors and achievements. The North Shore News (NSN) caught up with Randy at the tail end of a three-month trip he and his wife, Jacque, made to South-East Asia, and just before he jumped on a plane to the mainland to lend his expert knowledge of surfboards and surfing to a vintage surf-collectables event. With his sparkling blue eyes and snow-white hair, he cut a classic surfer’s figure as he sat for our interview: NSN: Randy, when did you first come to Hawaii, and when did you begin surfing? Rarick: I moved to Honolulu with my family from Seattle when I was five. Our family frequented the Outrigger Canoe Club at its old location next to the Moana Hotel, so I hung out with the Waikiki beach boys on the sand. One of them pushed me off on a wave at “Canoes” when I was ten. That was Rabbit Kekai. NSN: Rabbit Kekai, a surfing legend in his own right. Rarick: Yep. I was soon hooked on surfing. My first board was a big balsa monster that I got for fifteen dollars. I would collect it in the morning lying in a pool of salt water that had drained out at night. I was a disappointment to my dad, who owned a golfing supply company and who had hoped I would take up golf. But all I wanted to do was paddle out. Dad would drop me and my board off at Ali’i Beach in Haleiwa on his way to the Kahuku golf course, and pick me up, sunburned and happy, on the way home. I surfed my way through grade school and high school, then went for a year to Australia, ostensibly to attend college. But all college taught me was that I wasn’t cut out for a nine-to-five life. I spent my time in Australia studying the local surf breaks. That was followed by two years traveling the world, mostly Africa, surfing some of the most remote surf breaks … maybe some of them haven’t been surfed since. NSN: How did you fund the trip? Rarick: I honestly don’t know. I had made Continued on page 19 May 27, 2015 www.northshorenews.com Mister Triple-Crown continued from page 18 money in high school repairing dings and shaping boards for Honolulu surf shops. When I flew back to the islands I did more of the same, shaping and ding repair. I have probably shaped about twelve thousand surfboards … NSN: I wanted to ask about that. Your surf brand, your logo, was “Bear surfboards.” Bear boards were featured in a surf movie … Rarick: The movie was Big Wednesday, Nineteen-Seventy-Eight. I was an extra in that flick. ”Bear” was a fictitious surfboard brand invented just for the movie. Afterward, Billy Hamilton asked John Milius, the director, if he could have the name, and just “took” the brand. Billy gave the name and the brand to me. It was a killer seller in the eighties and nineties. NSN: So you were shaping and selling boards, and ding repair … Rarick: And surfing. In 1967, at twenty-one, I won the Junior Division of the Hawaii State Surfing Championships, and two years later almost made the finals of the World Championships in Australia. NSN: These were amateur events? Rarick: Absolutely. There was no pro surfing in those days. None. It wasn’t until Fred Hemmings started the Pipe Masters competition at the Pipeline surf break a couple of years later on the North Shore that pro surfing was born. NSN: I remember how that day was reported: Fred on the sand at a card table, folding chair and bull horn, signing up a half-dozen surfers. Were you there? Rarick: No, I was on my two-year surf safari. Fred and I didn’t hook up until Seventy-Five. I remember a funny incident about that first Pipe Masters. Two of the six competitors were Corky Carroll and Gerry Lopez. The Pipe was breaking small, and Corky convinced Gerry that Fred wouldn’t hold the meet. So Gerry drove back to town, missing the competition. Jeff Hackman won it. Gerry went on to win the next two … if it hadn’t been for Corky he probably would have had a trifecta. NSN: Let’s fast-forward to Nineteen-Seventy-Six. You and Fred established the International Professional Surfer’s organization, right? Rarick: Right. The IPS was the first pro surfer league, with a membership and scheduled contests. It lasted six years. In Nineteen-Eighty-Two the Australians took control of pro surfing with the ASP, the Association of Surfing Professionals. NSN: Then, the next year, you and Fred created the Triple Crown? Rarick: Yep. Fred and I saw the need to combine what was a lot of surfing contests and venues into something more organized. In Eighty-Three we began the Triple Crown of Surfing. Fred soon turned his interests toward town, to business and politics, eventually becoming a state senator. I soldiered on Page 19 as Triple Crown Executive Director, a job I’ve held until my retirement this year. NSN: What were those early years like? Rarick: It was fun … seat of the pants. Those were the days before the deep-sea buoys allowed us to predict surf swells in advance. So there were lots of early mornings spent peering out to sea, hoping for the best, changing contest sites based on a SWAG guess. But by God it always worked out … we always pulled the contests off. Finally about Nineteen-Ninety we settled on our three current contest sites: Haleiwa Ali’i Beach Park, Sunset, and Pipeline. That usually offers three distinct surfing looks: a small, fast break at Ali’i, big surf at Sunset, and the Pipe’s radical tube rides. NSN: Are you gonna miss it? Rarick: Oh, yeah. Early morning decisions on a contest start, the pageantry, working with the staff, with the surfers … I’ve watched three generations of surfers mature. But at the same time I’ve felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. And I feel really good about the team that has taken over leadership of the Triple Crown and the World Surfing League here in Hawaii. That’s especially true of Marty Thomas, who now coordinates the Triple Crown competition, and Jodi Wilmott, who is WSL Hawaii and Van’s Triple Crown executive director. NSN: So … what’s next? Rarick: I’ve still got my surfboard business. Jacque and I want to keep traveling. And, I want to continue with surfing memorabilia. I held vintage surf auctions … boards, board shorts, other stuff … for ten years. I made a good profit and was able to contribute money to worthwhile programs like junior lifeguards. I really know surfboards … I think I can tell a board’ s year, shaper, and approximate dollar value on sight. I’d like to continue along those lines. NSN: How about a book? Rarick: About my travels all over the world … maybe. NSN: And continue surfing? Rarick: Yeah. Oh, yeah! Until someone finds me face-down in a tide pool somewhere.
