Interestingly it seems I receive far more feedback when my message is personal and not strictly business. Well, file this under the “you asked for it” category. This month’s message is about my colon. In reality, it is about the procedure, my health and how this may affect you and your health. I read somethings like this from the Colon Cancer Awareness web site: Colon cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in men and women combined in the United States. Screening is the number one way you can reduce your risk of colon cancer. Despite its high incidence, colon cancer is unique in that it is one of the most preventable and, if found early, most treatable forms of cancer. So in I went! Now, I can break the procedure up into three major components: Fasting, Drinking and Smile, here comes the camera! The instructions I received after I scheduled the appointment were pretty clear. No solid foods after midnight 2 days before. I was allowed to drink clear fluids and they listed a few but I figured, I’m going to take my best shot at this and I opted for only water for the duration. That put me at about 36 hours with no food. Degree of difficulty – 5 The next step was the “Gavalyte”. This is the mixture that will empty you out in preparation for the procedure. There was a gallon jug, a powder and a lemon flavor packet. The night before I had to drink it, I mixed it together with water and put it in the fridge. Starting at 7:00 PM the night before the procedure, I was to drink ¾ of it that night and the other ¼ the morning of. I was told that the quicker you consume the quantity the better it will work. So I drank ¾ of it in 90 minutes. Well that stuff works pretty good. That technology has been perfected! WOW. I woke up around 2:00 AM to consume the rest. Degree of difficulty – 8.5 The last step was show up at the clinic for the procedure. That morning I was feeling pretty good and we arrived early. My wife accompanied me, you are not allowed to drive for the rest of the day. It was fairly straight forward, they take your vitals, lay on the bed and they hook you up to EKG and BP machines, wheel you in and ask you to lay on your side, put the IV drip in and it’s over. You are not totally out but out enough to not feel anything. For a while I was watching the monitor but it was like sleeping, just not a deep sleep. Degree of difficulty - 1 They found one small polyp and it was benign. I have to go back for another one in 5 years. Good news all around. I’m glad I did it and I’m glad it is over but now that I know what to expect for the next time and I won’t be so worried about it. This is the reason I am sharing my experience with you, in the hope that maybe it will take some of the mystery and fear out of the whole “colonoscopy” experience. Go and get it done. It very well may save your life.

This 130-plus year legacy of caring began with Saint Marianne Cope and the Sisters of St. Francis, who willingly came to Hawaii to serve those afflicted with Hansen’s disease, ready to break through barriers and with a hunger to serve others. Although St. Francis Healthcare System no longer operates hospitals today, that same legacy of caring continues. St. Francis offers inhome Bathing Services, Adult Day Care in Ewa and in Manoa and Home Hospice Care, serving Hawaii families islandwide, from Waianae to Mililani to Hawaii Kai. St. Francis is also transforming its Liliha campus into the St. Francis Kupuna Village, an innovative, one-stop health and wellness community for seniors and caregivers. The campus features the Clarence T. C. Ching Villas, a 119-bed skilled nursing facility, and in the future will offer a senior community center, an assisted living center, and senior independent living.

The Association has historically minimized increases in membership assessments by using the Association’s net income from other sources (e.g., cell phone tower rental income, event sponsorships, newsletter advertising) to defray part of the Association’s expenses each year. As part of its financial practices and in order to protect against large unanticipated special assessments, the Association has also established and maintains capital reserves for repairs, replacements, improvements, etc. The Association’s reserves are an essential part of maintaining home values in the Mililani Town and an important component of the Association’s long-range planning. Before the beginning of each fiscal year, the members of the Association have resolved to treat as special assessments and capital contributions to the Association’s capital reserves the amount of any excess revenues from membership assessments in the ensuing year, and these amounts have been added to the Association’s capital reserves.

collected in accordance with Article VI, Section 6.02 of the Mililani Town DCCR. Assessment due dates are January 1st, April 1st, July 1st, and October 1st in the amount of $102.00 per quarter (effective April 1, 2010). Quarterly reminder notices are sent to homeowners. A $10.00 late fee will be charged if payment is not received by the 10th of the month that payment is due. There are 5 ways to pay your assessments: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. SurePay Payment Plan - SurePay allows your bank to automatically, electronically transfer your quarterly assessment payments from your checking or savings account through Automated Clearing House (ACH) to MTA. Fill out a SurePay form and turn it in to one of our business offices or send it to surepay@mililanitown. org. Submit a voided check with your form. Pay Online - To safely pay your assessment online, homeowners must go through the official MTA website (www.mililanitown. org). Once on the official MTA home page, look for the “Pay Online” icon at the top that looks like a credit card. Click the icon and you will be directed to the online payment page. Payments made through any other website is not recommended and are not guaranteed by MTA. Pay in Person - Payments may be made at the Admin Office at Rec 6 (95-1010 Konaku Street) from 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday, or at the Rec Center 3 or 7 Business Offices during their regular business office hours. Please bring your remittance stub with you when you make your payment.

A 2nd drop-box is located inside the Rec 6 administration office and is only available during regular business hours. Pay by Mail - To avoid late fees, please allow ample time for mail delivery and for your payments to post as received. Homeowners with multiple properties must submit a separate remittance stub and payment, for each property address. • If you are mailing a check with the remittance stub, please mail it to: Mililani Town Association, P.O. Box 29380, Honolulu, HI 96820-1780. This is a “Lockbox” service through Bank of Hawaii.

Escrow Demand Fees and Transfer of Ownership Fees When selling your home within Mililani Town Association (MTA), your escrow company will request from MTA what is referred to as an escrow demand statement. This report will provide the escrow company with payoff information, in order to ensure all funds due to MTA are collected for the property at closing. These funds include amounts owed for both the seller and buyer and can include assessments, late fees, legal charges, and transfer fees associated with the transfer of ownership of the property. To recover some of the cost to process such requests and ensure resources are allocated to provide a quick turnaround of information for the escrow company, effective April 1, 2016, MTA will implement a fee of $25 per demand request to be paid prior to the release of information. MTA membership includes nearly 16,000 properties. Each resale of property requires the update and maintenance of membership information and billing records. A transfer fee is charged to the buyer of the property to ensure that MTA’s records are updated timely and accurately. This fee is typically paid through escrow during the sale and purchase of the property. This fee is necessary for MTA to recover a portion of the expense relating to the administration of its membership records. A $100 transfer fee was set in 2005 and has not been increased in over ten years. Effective April 1, 2016, the transfer fee will increase to $300 for each resale of property.

Saturday: 9am - 5pm LOCATED AT MILILANI SHOPPING CENTER NEAR First Hawaiian Bank and Jack In the Box Unless your vehicle requires premium gasoline, filling up your car with high-octane gas is a waste of money. The premium gas doesn’t boost your gas mileage or performance. If you’re not sure what grade works best for your vehicle, your owner’s manual will tell you. You can also ask your mechanic what grade to use. Using regular gasoline over high-octane gasoline could save you hundreds of dollars a year. Don’t top off when filling your car’s gas tank. Any additional gas is just going to slop around or seep out. Stop pumping at the first indication that your tank is full when the automatic nozzle clicks off. Topping off can cause the gas to go into the evaporative emission system and cause it to clog. Does tire pressure increase gas mileage? Don’t get caught driving on under inflated tires. Under inflated tires wear down more quickly, and they also lower your car’s gas mileage. Your car’s gas mileage may plummet by as much as 15 percent. Driving on under inflated tires may also reduce the life of your tires by 15 percent or more. Don’t skimp on maintenance service. Your car’s performance depends on it being properly maintained. The owner’s manual of your vehicle will tell you what maintenance is needed and when. If you have any questions, your auto repair shop will be able to show you the recommended maintenance for your car. Follow the car care guidelines outlined in your owner’s manual. Not only will they improve efficiency, they will also save you money on costly repairs in the long run. We take the worry out of keeping your vehicle moving on the road. we welcome your business!
