I can be reached at 586-6830 or by email at sengabbard@capitol.hawaii.gov.<\/p>\n<p><B>Update on Ka Makana Alii Mall<\/B><\/p>\n<p>Hawaiian Homes Commission (HHC) held a special meeting Nov. 14 to consider extending the option to lease for Hawaii DeBartolo LLC&#8217;s Ka Makana Alii shopping mall.<\/p>\n<p>This project will be located at the corner of Kapolei Parkway and Kualakai Parkway on 67 acres of DHHL land and will be the third largest mall on the island.<\/p>\n<p>I submitted testimony that said in part: &#8220;&#8230; during the last few months, I have received input from both businesses and community members who have concerns about DeBartolo&#8217;s actions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While I do support this one-year extension, I will withhold my support of the final approval of the lease agreement until I&#8217;m assured that DeBartolo has made good on its promises to DHHL beneficiaries and the community.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;DeBartolo should make a renewed commitment to engage the community and ensure that pending issues &#8211; such as &#8216;community benefits,&#8217; Hawaiian Railway Society and Kualakai Parkway Extension &#8211; all are resolved in a fair and appropriate manner.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>HHC approved the extension by a 7-0 vote. DeBartolo is planning to begin construction on the mall in August 2014.<\/p>\n<p><B>Funding Released and New Education Programs at UH West Oahu<\/B><\/p>\n<p>I was happy to receive a letter from Gov. Abercrombie Nov. 19 letting me know that he had released funding for the UH West Oahu campus. Those projects are: * Road B &#8211; UH West Oahu to Kualakai Parkway, $3.5 million * Minor Repairs and Improvements, $41,000<\/p>\n<p>Also, beginning spring 2014, UH West Oahu will be offering two new programs in education &#8211; one will focus on grades 6-8, and the other will focus on grades 6-12 in the areas of English and social studies.<\/p>\n<p><B>Waipahu Resident Wins Toyota Together-Green Fellowship<\/B><\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to Waipahu resident Miwa Tamanaha for winning the Toyota TogetherGreen Fellowship from Toyota and the National Audubon Society!<\/p>\n<p>Her yearlong fellowship will include a $10,000 grant that will help support her work in stewarding native limu. Each year 40 people across the country are awarded this fellowship.<\/p>\n<p><B>&#8220;Listen-Story&#8221; in Kapolei cafe<\/B><\/p>\n<p>My next &#8220;Listen Story&#8221; meeting will be held at 9 a.m. Jan. 11 at Pray Eat Love Caf\u00e9 (533 Manawai St. #304, Waianae side, directly across from Kapolei High School).<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t make the meeting, send me an email and I&#8217;ll forward you the notes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talking Story&#8230;Sen.
