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- F ess Jo urn als -N ot for co mm erc ial BY MARK ABRAMSON PACIFIC BUSINESS NEWS 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 Bu sin SEE FIRST WIND, PAGE 21 TINA YUEN PBN nC ity The Kawailoa Wind Farm on Oahu’s North Shore, shown in the background, is one of four First Wind projects in Hawaii.

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, .com/pacificbiznews WHO’S MOVING, BUYING, OPENING, CHANGING, WINNING MORE SCOOPS, PAGE 5 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.

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.” us e ial erc co mm for ot -N Jo urn als ess sin Bu ity nC eri ca [email protected] | 955-8036 Am BY DUANE SHIMOGAWA PACIFIC BUSINESS NEWS 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. “We believe that the program design will be extremely beneficial for Hawaii energy companies as well as for moving the state www.hawaiirenewable.com/excelerator © 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 this is not a napkin. This is your next big breakthrough.

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.” [email protected] | 955-8046 SCOOPS DECEMBER 14, 2012 pacificbusinessnews.com | PACIFIC BUSINESS NEWS 5 Quicksilver’s new concept honors Hawaii surfers ot for co mm erc ial us e Quicksilver is expanding its Lewers Street store by about 2,200 square feet, taking over the former home of the Wyland Gallery, which relocated down the block.

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 experience with the history and roots of Quicksilver and surfing,” Kam said. He declined to share the cost of the renovation, but said it was in the high six figures, due in part to the new display items. The store remained open during the renovations, which are expected to be completed next week. “We’ve done everything like menehunes at night,” Kam said.

The Kilohana Plantation on Kauai plans to open a new lounge attached to Gaylord’s Restaurant before Christmas. The Mahiko Lounge will feature a solid teak bar crafted by local carpenter Dean Mayer. The sides of the bar will be English linen fold paneling that is similar to what is elsewhere in the plantation. Fred Atkins, Kilohana’s general partner, estimated the cost of the new lounge at $50,000. “It will be fun,” he said. “A lot of people are looking forward to us opening. We are trying to get a mix [of customers].” A grand opening scheduled for owner,” said Shubert-Kwock. Indigo has about 35 employees, of which 20 are full-timers.

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.” The flavored popcorn will be colored © 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.

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. us e TOURISM For more information and to apply, visit any branch, email us at [email protected], or call 627-6700 (Oahu) or 866-915-6700 (Neighbor Islands and Mainland). 1 $50 minimum monthly payment. 2 Subject to annual credit review and approval.

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.

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.

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.” [email protected] | 955-8036 STRATEGIES DECEMBER 14, 2012 pacificbusinessnews.com | PACIFIC BUSINESS NEWS Leveraging technology can help capture and keep clients A ■ Supersize your online real estate. Use WordPress for non-commerce sites: Themeforest.net. Use Magento for e-commerce sites: TemplateMonster.com. ■ Go mobile. There are more Americans who have mobile phones than have passports. Mobile matters to your business. Your customers expect their mobile experience to be as good as their desktop experience. In fact, 52 percent of users will not engage a company when the mobile experience is bad. Half of mobile searches lead to a purchase. ■ Throw out the server.

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. ARRIVES HONOLULU Nov 30 Dec 21 Jan 18 Feb 8 L O A N S A L E -N 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.

Immediate priority: To help maturing individuals improve their overall health through fitness and working out by providing a clean, affordable and nonintimidating fitness center.

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.

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 -N Wind-energy developer Development manager: Wren Wescoatt Address: 810 Richards St., Suite 650, Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 695-3300 Website: www.firstwind.com 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.” ess [email protected] | 955-8036 sin Bu ity nC eri ca Am 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.

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.” [email protected] | 955-8001 -N 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 ‘We try to anticipate the worst-case scenario, bestcase scenario and other models.

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. Boat and ship research and design company Chairman: Steven Loui Address: Pier 41, Honolulu, HI 96817 Phone: (808) 531-7001 Website: http://www.navatekltd.com Bu sin ess FROM PAGE ONE Jo urn als NAVATEK: Sea Blade will be company’s first commercial boat © Am eri ca 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.” [email protected] | 955-8001 OPINION DECEMBER 14, 2012 pacificbusinessnews.com | PACIFIC BUSINESS NEWS UH sending different message by picking Ben Jay as new A.D. us e ial erc co mm for ot ess A 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 Jo urn als University’s selection indicates financial order will be just as important as win-loss records 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 ity nC eri ca H Am ow will history remember Notre Dame linebacker Manti Teo’s senior season? design a system to select and honor the nation’s best collegiate football player. Heisman, more coach than marketer, thought it was a bad idea but nevertheless came up with a sysJIM tem that relied on votGEORGE MANAGING EDITOR’S ing by sportswriters. Originally called the NOTEBOOK 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. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, but it was © Downtown Athletic Club outplays all others in promoting its product Bu sin Heisman wins the marketing/branding game 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.

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.
