New Hawaiian Paradise Park Bus Route Begins April 1st

Posted on March 26, 2013 by Damon

Effective April 1, 2013, a change to the Pahoa-Hilo Hele-On Bus route will bring long-awaited service to the residents of Hawaiian Paradise Park.

New Bus Route

On any given day, a young mother has her child strapped to her back, hiking down Maku`u Drive; residents struggle as they hitchhike long distances, and our kupuna become isolated and shut-in. “It’s a dangerous situation,” said Council Member Greggor Ilagan of District 4. “The community needs this bus service to access necessary social and medical services,” said Council Member Ilagan.

The Hilo-bound bus will turn from Highway 130 down Maku’u Drive to 16th, across to Paradise Drive, and back up to Highway 130. The Pahoa-bound bus will turn down Paradise, across 16th, and up Maku’u before continuing on Highway 130 toward Pahoa. The dedicated bus stop will be located at the HPP Activities Center and riders may park their vehicles or bikes there. Flag stopping will be honored where it is safe to do so, however riders should call the transit agency for tips.

“We thank our riders for supporting our Hele-On Bus system. This expansion will have a positive impact on the Hawaiian Paradise Park,” said Acting Administrator of Hawai’i County Mass Transit Agency, Tiffany Kai.

The Hilo-bound bus will run through HPP at 6:25 a.m., 12:05 p.m., and 4:35 p.m. The Pahoa-bound bus will run through HPP at 10:45 a.m., 2:35 p.m., and 4:50 p.m., Monday through Friday.

“This new Hele-On Bus route in HPP is the result of many people working together. I thank the HPP Owners Association’s President June Conant, the Board of Directors, Tiffany Kai and the Hawai’i County Mass Transit Agency, as well as Mayor Billy Kenoi for making this happen,” said Council Member Ilagan. “Serving the community is my priority. We invite everyone to utilize this new route to ensure its success.”

For more information, contact the Hawai’i Mass Transit Agency at http://www.heleonbus.org, or call 961-8744. Council Member Ilagan of District 4 is available at 965-2712.

Big Island Police Searching for Puna Man Wanted in Connection With Stabbing Today

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Damon

Big Island police are asking for the public’s help in locating a Puna man wanted in connection with a stabbing Friday morning.

Brannon “Listo” Ramirez

The incident began with a domestic dispute at a convenience store on Kahakai Boulevard in Hawaiian Beaches between a 31-year-old Hawaiian Beaches woman and a 27-year-old Hawaiian Beaches man. During the argument, the man allegedly threw a beer bottle—which hit a 19-year-old man in a parked van—and then left the area.

A short time later, the mother of the man hit by the bottle and a relative—a 37-year-old Mountain View man—got into a confrontation with the couple from the original domestic argument on South Puni Mauka Loop near Aweoweo Street.

During the confrontation, the Mountain View man received lacerations to the chest, back, face and upper arms. He was taken to Hilo Medical Center, where he is listed in stable condition.

Police have classified the incident as a first-degree assault and a third-degree assault. They are looking for 27-year-old Brannon Ramirez of Hawaiian Beaches, who also goes by the name “Listo.” He is described as 5-foot-11,190 pounds with blue eyes, a muscular build, a shaved head and a partial goatee. He has several tattoos, including one with the word “Compton” on his abdomen and another with the numbers “155″ on his chest.

Police caution the public not to approach him, but instead, to call the Police Department’s non-emergency line at 935-3311 if they see him or know his whereabouts, or contact Detective Norbert Serrao by phone at 961-2383 or by email at nserrao@co.hawaii.hi.us.

Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous may call Crime Stoppers at 961-8300 in Hilo or 329-8181 in Kona and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000. Crime Stoppers is a volunteer program run by ordinary citizens who want to keep their community safe. Crime Stoppers doesn’t record calls or subscribe to caller ID. All Crime Stoppers information is kept confidential.

19-Year-Old Puna Man Arrested in Crime Spree

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Damon

Big Island police have located 19-year-old Kale Thomas Ramangmou, who was wanted for robbery.

Kale Thomas Ramangmou

Ramangmou was arrested Monday morning (May 7) and charged Tuesday (May 8) for numerous offenses in connection with three separate incidents.

At 3:15 p.m. Tuesday he was charged with second-degree robbery, first-degree criminal property damage and first-degree unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle. The victim in that case, a 30-year-old woman from Mill Valley, California, reported that 2-3 unknown suspects threw a rock through the front passenger window of a car she was parked in across from Ahalanui Hot Ponds in lower Puna at 11:30 p.m. on April 29, and then demanded money. The suspects allegedly stole a cell phone holster before fleeing the area. The victim sustained minor injuries from flying glass but declined treatment.

At 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, Ramangmou was charged with second-degree robbery, third degree assault, second-degree theft, third-degree criminal property damage and unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle in connection with an incident at 1 a.m. on January 28. A 40-year-old Pāhoa man reported that while he was in a parked van at a rural retreat in lower Puna, a man got into his car and asked for cigarettes and beer and then punched him and took away his cordless phone. A second suspect punched him again and a third suspect threw a golf ball-size rock through a side window of the van.

At 8:05 p.m. Tuesday, he was charged with second-degree robbery, first-degree burglary and fourth-degree theft for a robbery on May 1. In that case, a 43-year-old Pāhoa man reported that he was at a 24-hour convenience store in Pāhoa at around 2 a.m. when an acquaintance he knew previously, parked in the area and offered him a ride home. The victim accepted the ride and was driven to an area off of Ka‘ohe Homestead Road in Pāhoa, where the same suspect reportedly assaulted him and removed undisclosed items. In addition, upon making his way home, he discovered that it had been burglarized and several items were stolen.

Ramangmou’s bail was set at $159,000. He was scheduled to make his initial court appearance Wednesday (May 9).

Man Taken Away in Ambulance After Causing Disturbance at Woodland Center in Pahoa

Posted on May 6, 2012 by Damon

A man causing a disturbance was taken away by an ambulance after law enforcement officials were called onto the scene of a man acting erratically.

Employees at the KFC in Woodland center said the man had several cases of water in his shopping cart and then he would open up a bottle, take a few drinks… and then start throwing the water and the bottles at cars that were passing him in the parking lot.

Around 4:30 this afternoon, paramedics and police were able to coax him off the side of the ridge and into the back of the ambulance.

The man was allowed to take a bottle of water with him.

Pahoa Town Under Surveillance – Street Cameras Installed

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Damon

Pahoa Village and in particular the town section of it, has long had a reputation of having many problems.  A few years back the Town was a recipient for Federal funding for “Weed and Seed” programs that brought cameras in to town and established laws that would make dealing drugs more punishable.

Well the cameras in town didn’t last long and they really didn’t seem to be very effective in cleaning up the problems that Pahoa was having.

This morning, I just noticed that quietly the county has installed cameras throughout the town:

This camera is set up near Kaleo's Restaurant pointed towards Luquins Restaurant

I’m not exactly sure who is monitoring these cameras and/or who paid for them… but they look pretty high-tech.

It looks like some of them may be powered by solar panels, I just can't tell

I wonder if they are being recorded 24/7 or just being monitored when needed?

This one was in front of Luquins pointing towards Kaleos Restaurant

Some of the cameras looked like they may have the ability to look 360 degrees.

There are two cameras in this picture. I believe the round one w/ the bubble covering it can view 360 degrees.

Let’s see if this solves some of the problems we are having… or just creates more!

Two Puna Residents Charged With Robbery in Connection with Pahoa Incident Monday

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Damon

Two Puna residents have been charged with robbery in connection with an incident in Pāhoa on Monday afternoon (February 20) that sent the victim to the hospital.

Puna patrol officers responded to a 2:45 p.m. call Monday and encountered a 32-year-old Pāhoa man, who reported that while he was standing outside a Pāhoa restaurant, a woman had approached him and asked him for marijuana. When he said he didn’t have any, she reportedly hit him in the back of the head several times with her fist and removed cash from his pants pocket.

The victim dropped his skateboard during the attack.

A man reportedly joined in the attack, hitting the victim in the head first with his fist and later with the victim’s skateboard, knocking him unconscious.

The victim was taken to Hilo Medical Center for treatment of serious injuries.

Steven Stoesser

At 3 p.m. Monday, police arrested 32-year-old Steven Stoesser, 35-year-old Lisa Yurkovic and 19-year-old Gina Sumaoang, all of Pāhoa. They were held at the Hilo police cellblock while detectives from the Area I Criminal Investigations Section continued the investigation.

Lisa Yurkovic

At 10 p.m., police released Sumaoang without charges.

Stoesser was charged with first-degree robbery and first-degree assault. His bail was set at $50,000.

Yurkovic was charged with first-degree robbery. Her bail was set at $5,000.

Stoesser and Yurkovic were held at the Hilo police cellblock until their initial court appearance Tuesday afternoon (February 21).

High Winds in Pahoa Causing Havoc… Knocks Tree Across State Route 132

Posted on February 7, 2012 by Damon

We have been having a pretty windy day here in Pahoa.

Councilman Fred Blas sign blown over

About a half hour ago I got the following Nixle report:

Route 130 (Pahoa to Kapoho Road) completely blocked by downed tree near 4mm between Lava Tree Park and “Four Corners” intersection.

Well I know that Highway 130 doesn’t even go close to this area and so I traversed down the Pahoa – Kapoho road to investigate things and sure enough… it was Route 132 and not Highway 130.

Emergency Crews on the scene

Traffic was getting turned around and I then received the following message:

Route 130 (Keaau to Pahoa Hwy) low hanging utility wire Makuu Farmers market. Road passable for automobiles, trucks waiting HELCO on scene

Which I guess explains the error in the first message.

A tree service clears the road and the remaining dangerous branches

As I was turning around… I got the following message:

Avoid Route 132 between Lava Tree Park and Kapoho, utilize Pohoiki Rd, multiple trees and power lines falling across roadway on Route 132.

It looked like it was just about cleaned up when I was leaving… but I would still avoid the area until this wind stops. These Albizia trees are just like toothpicks in this wind.

Almost through cleaning them up!

Pahoa Village Disc Golf Course First Public Course to be Approved in the State of Hawaii

Posted on November 27, 2011 by Damon

Pahoa Village Disc Golf Course is the first “public” DG Course to be approved in the State of Hawaii.  Funding has been approved! Pledges and Commitments have been made! Surveying has begun! Sponsors are being gathered!

Looking onto DownTown Pahoa Villlage from Ball Fields. DG Course area is located above Ball Fields. Community/Activities/Senior Center at far right edge of photo; Newly restored Akebono Theater (The State's oldest theater) is Green/White building with red roof; White building center under three Monkey Pod trees is old Fire Station, soon to be renovated as part of Community Center. Olympic Pool out of photo on left.

Perched on a beautiful property overlooking rustic and historic Pahoa Village, the freshly approved “Pahoa Village Disc Golf Course” has tremendous promise to be a premier location for holding World Class events.

One of the few par 3's for the Pros. Plans are to have par3 t-boxes throughout course for those just beginning in the game, or for those wanting to play a shorter more traditional DG course

Plans for multiple tee-pads and pin placements to accommodate all skill levels, along with extended par ranges in the 60′s to 70′s, in a suitably demographical area, should help to build a solid future for the Sport in Hawaii.

Image of tentative Course Layout. This is rough...subject to some probable changes and refining of path/pin details and data. In addition to Holes, this basic image depicts the outer boundry layer and existing roads..some of which will be incorporated into jogging/hiking nature trails.

Pahoa Village, located in the Puna District on the Big Island of Hawaii, has a very unique and Free Spirited character….and is still very influenced by “Old Hawaii” and Traditional ways. Pahoa’s unique Spirit stems from a mix of Asian and Western influence during the early times of Ohia (tree) harvesting for railroad ties in 1800′s, Sugar Plantations in the early to mid 1900′s, and the more recent liberal Surfer, Rainbow and Eco influences of the last 50yrs. Because Pahoa and Puna is projected to grow over the next 10yrs at a faster pace than any other area in the State, improvements to infrastructure are a current focus.

Approximately 55ft elevation change from front to back.

The Park is in a “prime” location, providing the Community an Activities and Senior Center, Youth Facilities and PlayScape, Baseball Fields, Basketball Court, Olympic Pool and Showers, Concrete Skate Park(with more expansion soon!)…..and now the State’s very first public Disc Golf Course!!
