2021 marks the 10
th year that alcohol has been banned at the Laka o Ahu Sandbar in Kāne’ohe Bay over the Memorial Day weekend. Officers from the DLNR Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE) patrolled He‘eia Kea Small Boat Harbor, the launch point for the sandbar, and the popular sandbar itself by boat and jet ski.
In the middle of the bay one officer instructed three teen-aged boys to get down off a channel marker. The boat they were on was stationary in the channel which is not permitted. Back on the sandbar officers also told a jet ski operator that he was in violation of the rules by having his vessel up on the sandbar.
LAHAINA, Maui Perched on Maui’s westernmost edge, nine condominium towers at Kahana Bay offer owners and guests a sweeping oceanfront panorama with distant views of Molokai and Lanai and an up-close seat to the seasonal parade of breaching humpback whales.
But the tradeoff of this water’s edge location is the anticipatory dread of watching the sea steadily erode the beach and the value of the coastal real estate.
The ocean has destroyed condominium pool decks, cabanas, stairs and walkways. Seawalls installed to protect the shoreline have only worsened the problem. Thousands of sandbags piled up are merely a Band-Aid to buy time to find a more lasting solution.

It was curiosity about her family’s immigration story that sent a woman on a journey to determine who she should thank. Jia Lynn Yang’s research into our country’s immigration laws prompted her to write a book titled One Mighty and Irresistible Tide: The Epic Struggle Over American Immigration, 1924 to 1965. It just won a Zócalo Book Prize and will be featured later this week in a virtual event. We got a chance to talk with her about the book and, in the process, learned of a local connection.
