NEW KAMEHAMEHA PARK PLAYGROUND TO OPEN NOV. 2 The

NEW KAMEHAMEHA PARK PLAYGROUND TO OPEN NOV. 2

The County of Hawai'i Department of Parks & Recreation announces that the new children's playground at Kamehameha Park in Kapa'au will open on Saturday, Nov. 2.

The prior, decades-old playground equipment was demolished in July 2024 and an entirely new playground was designed and installed, complete with a new synthetic turf safety surfacing system. The playground now meets Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and features new tactile and interactive elements, challenging climbing structures similar to those at Gilbert Kahele Recreation Area, and various spinners and swings.

The $750,000 playground project represents a significant investment that will greatly benefit the keiki of North Kohala.

To celebrate, Parks & Recreation invites the community to join a reopening and blessing event at the playground on Saturday, Nov. 2 at 11 a.m.

Along with the playground itself, other improvements included in the project are the addition of accessible walkways, new fencing, benches, and an accessible picnic table.

"Playgrounds provide enormous health benefits for keiki and also support the well-being of their families and caregivers," said Maurice Messina, Director of Parks & Recreation. "We are pleased to open this new playground, replacing an important feature at Kamehameha Park."

Though the playground itself is complete, construction work is continuing at some of the adjacent areas, which will be fenced off and marked with signage.

Kamehameha Park hours are 7 a.m. - 8 p.m.

Police Respond to Unexploded Ordnance Sighting in

Police Respond to Unexploded Ordnance Sighting in Waimea

Hawaiʻi Island police responded to the Waimea Nature Trail off of Opelo Road around 8:00 a.m. Wednesday, October 30, 2024, for a report of an unexploded ordnance found in the stream next to the trail.

The area was secured and personnel from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers were contacted. After an initial assessment, the U.S. Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) division on Oahu was summoned to further address the ordnance.

The Waimea Nature Trail was temporarily closed from Opelo Road to Kahawai Street. It is unknown when it will reopen. No homes, business, or roadways were affected.

Police would like to thank and remind the public of the Three R’s of explosives safety:

• RECOGNIZE – when you may have encountered a munition, and that munitions are dangerous.

• RETREAT – do not approach, touch, move or disturb it, but carefully leave the area.

• REPORT – call 911 and advise the police of what you saw and where you saw it.

For more information on ordnance safety, go to www.denix.osd.mil/uxo/ or http://www.hawaiipolice.com.

Dispatcher Honored for Consistent Top Quality Work

Dispatcher Honored for Consistent Top Quality Work

Hawai‘i Police Department is pleased to announce that Police Communications Officer Leeann Tehero was named Dispatcher of the Quarter for the third quarter of 2024, (July, August, and September) on Friday, October 25, 2024.

Tehero was honored for her impactful presence and positive influence on duty. Known to be a self-starter, Tehero can be counted on to complete detailed daily logs and records in a timely manner, troubleshoot systems errors on her own, all while handling her own call load. Of particular note was a busy call day at the beginning of October 2024, when Tehero handled three challenging calls simultaneously, calmly managing each situation.

Whether training new dispatchers or covering multiple calls at once, Tehero brings empathy and detail to each situation.

“I am grateful to have her on my watch,” said Supervising Police Communications Officer Cassie Fernandez, who nominated Tehero for the award. “Her performance sets standards in Dispatch”, noting that Tehero has consistently been a top performer in both the quality and quantity of her work over her entire nine-year career with the department.

Fernandez went on to say that Tehero answers both emergency and non-emergency calls with attentive speed and “doesn’t let section challenges like screaming callers, sharp patrol comments, or equipment failures detract from her professionalism or ability to complete all her daily assignments….She is committed to providing the highest quality of police service and she makes the work feel effortless.”

A Brown Water Advisory has been issued at Hilo Bay

A Brown Water Advisory has been issued at Hilo Bay on Hawai‘i.

The Hawaii Department of Health advises beach users to stay out of waters when the water appears brown or murky, especially following storms or heavy rain. After storms or heavy rain, the water may contain higher than normal pollutant levels. The Department recommends staying out of the water for 48-72 hours after the rain has stopped and after the beach has received full sunshine.

The Department of Health advises the public to avoid swimming, wading in, or drinking water from any freshwater streams or pond to prevent leptospirosis, a bacterial infection caused by the Leptospira bacteria. For more information, please see: https://health.hawaii.gov/docd/disease_listing/leptospirosis/

If the water is brown, turn around.
