Ma ʻApelila e wehe ʻia ana kekahi kula kūikawā nāna e pani hakahaka i kekahi kula haʻahaʻa ma Lahaina i luku ʻia e ke ahi ma ʻAukake, wahi a nā luna hana.
Kā ka luna hoʻoponopono nota: Unuhi ʻia na Ākea Kahikina.here to read this article in English.
Ma hope o ko ke ahi hoʻoneʻe ʻana i nā haumāna he 1,000 a me nā limahana o ke Keʻena Hoʻonaʻauao he 100, ke ʻimi nei nā alakaʻi o nā kula a me ka mokuʻāina i nā haʻina e kōkua ai i nā kula ma Lahaina ma ke kūkulu hou ʻia ʻana o ke kaona a me ka hōʻalo ʻana i nā pōpilikia e hiki mai ana.
Akā, ʻo nā palena moʻohelu kālā a me nā papahana ʻahaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe i loaʻa ʻole ai ke kālā, ʻo ia nō nā mea e hoʻopaʻakikī nei i ko DOE hoʻopau ʻana i ke kūkulu hou ʻana i pono ai ka palekana o nā haumāna ma ke kula.
Ma hope o ke emi ʻana o ko DOE moʻohelu kālā he $40 miliona i kēlā makahiki aku nei, ua noi akula ke keʻena i $198 miliona ma ke ʻano he kālā pani hakahaka no kēia makahiki kālā 2025 e hiki mai ana. ʻO ka moʻohelu kālā i hāpai ʻia e ke kiaʻāina, ka mea i hoʻolaha lehulehu ʻia i kēlā mahina aku nei, emi aku ka liʻiliʻi he $86 miliona ma hope o ko ke keʻena i noi aku ai.
Ma loko o kēlā $86 miliona, e hoʻohana ʻia ana he $10 miliona no ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā ʻōnaehana kāhea pau ahi ma nā kula. Ma kekahi hālāwai o ka Papa Hoʻonaʻauao, ua kuhi ka hope luna nui ʻo Curt Otaguro, he 13 nā kula i loaʻa ai nā ʻōnaehana kāhea pau ahi i poloke.
Ua ʻāʻumeʻume loa ke keʻena ma ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻōnaehana kāhea pau ahi; ua kali kekahi mau kula he mau makahiki no ka hoʻoponopono ʻana.
“Noʻu iho, pono kākou e noke mau i mea e hoʻoponopono ʻia ai kēia mau mea,” wahi a Scott Matayoshi, he luna makaʻāinana, ma ka hālāwai a ka Hale i ka Pōʻakolu. ʻŌlelo mai ʻo ia, pono ʻo DOE e hōʻike leʻa me ka ʻeleu i nā mea i pono ai ka hana i mua o ka ʻAhaʻōlelo.
Ua hāpai hoʻi ʻo Lisa Marten, he luna makaʻāinana, i kona leo hopohopo i pili i ka mālama mau ʻana i nā kula aupuni ma o ke kuhi pololei ʻana i nā ʻāina i loaʻa ai ka mauʻu a me ka nahele maloʻo loa i noho kokoke i nā kula a me nā kūkulu. Mālama ʻo DOE i ka ʻāina he 21 miliona ʻeka kuea ma ka mokuʻāina.
Ua nīele ʻia ka hoʻolālā a DOE no ka waele ʻana i ka ʻāina, a ua pane mai ʻo Otaguro, ua noi mua ke keʻena i $25 miliona no ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā kula i hiki ke paipai i nā hana hōʻalo pōpilikia a me nā papahana ʻē aʻe.
Akā, wahi āna, ʻaʻole i hoʻokomo ʻia ke kālā i noi mua ʻia ma ka moʻohelu kālā a ke kiaʻāina, eia naʻe, ke hoʻolālā nei ka mokuʻāina e haku i kekahi waihona kālā nui no ka hoʻoponopono ʻana. E hana pū ana ia keʻena me ke Keʻena Moʻohelu Kālā no ka ʻimi ʻana i kālā i hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia no ka mālama a me ka waela ʻana i nā ʻāina o DOE no ka hōʻalo ʻana i nā ahi, wahi a Otaguro.
Ma Maui, ua emi mai ka nui o nā haumāna he 1,000 ma ke kula ʻo Lahaina ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ko ʻAukake. Ua kuhi ʻo Tammi Oyadomari-Chun, ka hope luna nui, ke hele nei nā haumāna he 2,100 ma nā kula ʻekolu o Lahaina i wehe hou ʻia ma ʻOkakopa.
Akā, mahuʻi naʻe ʻo DOE i ka hoʻi ʻana i nā haumāna ʻē aʻe ma ke kau kupulau ke wehe mai ke keʻena i kekahi kula kūiakawā no ke kula haʻahaʻa ʻo King Kamehameha III, ka i luku ʻia ma ke ahi ma ka lā 8 o ʻAukake. ʻĀnō, ʻo nā haumāna i hele mua aku i ia kula haʻahaʻa, ke hele nei lākou i ke kula haʻahaʻa ʻo Princess Nāhiʻenaʻena ma Lahaina.
Kuhi ʻia, e pau ana ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o ke kula e ka U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ma ka hopena o Pepeluali ma ka pā hale hou ʻo Pulelehua, kahi i kū kokoke i ka hale hoʻolulu mokulele o Kapalua, wahi a Chun. Hoʻokahi mahina o DOE a me nā limahana ma King Kamehameha III no ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i nā lumi papa ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana o nā haumāna i ia kula ma kinohi o ʻApelila.
Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole nō paha e koho ana nā ʻohana i ka hoʻi ʻana i nā kula ma Lahaina no nā kumu like ʻole, wahi a Chun i kuhi aku ai. Ma hope o ke ahi, ua komo nā haumāna he 8,000 i ka polokalamu hale kūikawā a ka Federal Emergency Management Agency, wahi a Chun me ka ʻōlelo hou ʻana, ua haʻalele kekahi o nā ʻohana iā Lahaina, a ʻo ko lākou hoʻouna akula nō ia i nā keiki i nā kula ʻē aʻe, a i ʻole, ua haʻalele ʻokoʻa iā Ჹɲʻ.
I loko nō o nā leo hopohopo o nā ʻohana i pili i ka palekana ʻāina o nā kula ma Lahaina, keu hoʻi ma ka wā e kāpae ʻia ana ke koena o ka ʻāina i ʻā, mau nō ko DOE ʻōlelo ʻana mai, palekana nō nā kula i kēia manawa.
Wahi a Chun, i kēia manawa, ua hōʻike mai nā mīkini kilo ea ma nā kula o Lahaina, he maikaʻi ke ʻano o ke ea a puni nā kula. I kekahi mau manawa, hōʻike kekahi mau mīkini kilo ea, ʻano maikaʻi ke ʻano o ke ea, wahi a Chun, akā, ma ka nānā hou ʻana i nā mīkini, ua hoʻopilikia ʻia nā mīkini e ka hoʻēhu lepo a ke kūkulu hale ʻana a me nā mīkini ʻoki mauʻu.
“Mau nō ka paʻakikī ma Lahaina, akā, kūpaʻa nō ko kākou kaiāulu,” wahi a Chun.
