4200 Year Old Coral Discovered off Hawaii

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Scientists from Texas A&M College of Geosciences just announced the discovery of a species of coral that has been carbon dated and found to be over 42 centuries old!

This would make the species, Leiopathes, among the oldest continuously living organisms on the planet, rivaling the nearly 5,000-year-old bristlecone pine trees growing in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California.

The coral bed was discovered at a depth of about 1200 feet in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Hawaii. It was previously thought the coral beds were no more than a few hundred years old.

Honolulu May Demolish Natatorium

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

Honolulu’s famed Waikiki War Memorial Natatorium which was erected in 1927 as a memorial to those who served and died in World War I, is in danger of being demolished, according to city officials.

The city’s famous saltwater pool has been closed for over 30 years now due to the dangerous condition of it’s crumbling deck and deterioration of the pool itself. Now city officials are trying to decide what to do with the famous structure, (not sure what has taken them so long!).

Opinions vary from total demolition, to demolition of only the pool and restoration of the decorative facade.

You can read more about the fate of the natatorium here at the Honolulu Advertiser website…

Public Gets Input in Oahu Highway

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

In what some residents and  politicians are calling a model for how communities and government can work together, the city of Oahu, Hawaii, worked with local residents when planning upcoming improvements on the island’s busiest roadway: Kamehameha Highway.

Instead of the traffic planners coming out and telling residents what was going to happen and how things were going to be done, the residents were asked FIRST for their input. Residents who live along the highway are happy because their community played a major role in the decision making process.

“This project, the first of its kind in Hawaii, is the result of long-range, consensus-based planning processes that involved entire communities,” said Rep. K. Mark Takai, who co-chairs the Kamehameha Highway Improvements Task Force and has been a driving force behind the direction the project has taken.

“The community-driven approach gives area residents a sense of ownership as well as a willingness to assist in its implementation”, Takai said.

The planned improvements will keep all those Hawaiian cars and trucks moving along Oahu’s busy highway.
