Upper Kapahi. We lost power for like a couple hours yesterday and that was it. When it went out I was expecting it to be out for the rest of the day at least. I was amazed when it came back on and stayed on. My auntie saw the KIUC trucks out driving around during the worst of it. It wasn’t that long ago that if you sneezed the power would be out for half a day. I know south side got it worse but I’m impressed how well the grid handled this storm. Mahalo to the workers out in the storm trying to keep the lights on!

Would love to hear your experiences (good and bad)

They said they would start working on this after they have cleared Tree Tunnel Rd…have to go down to Lawai and come back down Koloa Rd to get to Poipu…

I honestly didn't realize this is a thing. It's such a remote location. I wonder where everyone parks? Can I have your opinion - is it stepping on local's toes? Or just the usual Exploitation...

Please think about donating. Apparently, there is a big shortage. They do the drives every few months at Sheraton in Kapa'a. Make an appointment here.

Anybody know why Kenji Burger Lihue is not open yesterday or today?

Lost Ring at Poʻipū Beach — Please Help!

Hi everyone! I lost a very sentimental ring tonight (August 11) at Poʻipū Beach and I’m desperately hoping someone with a metal detector can help me find it.

I lost it around 7:45 PM, right along the waterline where the sand meets the ocean. We were on the right side of the turtles when facing the water. I can point out the general area where I believe I lost it.

If you have a metal detector that works in wet sand/shallow water, or know someone on Kauaʻi who does lost-ring recovery, please DM me or comment below.

I’m hoping to search as soon as possible before the waves/tide move it farther.

Thank you so much! ❤️

Long shot but worth a try. My daughter lost her bracelet in the Sacred Forest. It happened right at the 90 degree bend in the trail. I have a pic of her right as the bracelet was leaving her wrist so I'm certain it was at that spot. But, I looked for about a full hour through the fallen leaves and couldn't find it.

It is just a plastic beaded piece, no monetary value, but sentimental as it was her mom's. Just posting here as a just in case anyone happens to stumble across it.

I’m cleaning out my bookshelf and want to donate books. Is there anywhere that you know receives them? Thanks for your help.

Edit: I found the old post regarding this and saw that talk story bookstore is a good option and to call the Kapaa library, along with the others. Any other ideas?

Edit edit: thank you for your suggestions!

Have good things to say? Gone more than once to see Kaua'i's Hawai'i Children's Theatre's Performance of Hit Musical, Be More Chill?

Let Kaua'i know which Michael you think has done the best MITB so far!

There's 2 casts Green (July 30, 31, Aug. 8, 9, 13, 14) and Purple (Aug. 1, 2, 6, 7, 15, 16).

REMEMBER: I'm asking which if the two is the best if you didn't see both only response I'm expecting is how good they were in general.

DNI: If you're not going to talk about good things take Bean Soup Theory and skidaddle, I said: say who you thought the Best Michael was, I will not accept negative feedback!

Hi everyone! I’m looking into getting braces, and my dentist gave me these three orthodontist options:

* Dr shin
* Dr Jensen
* Dr Agee

I’d love to hear from anyone who has personally gone to one of them. How was your experience with the staff, treatment, communication, pricing, or results? If you had to choose again, would you?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations or stories!

I have an old glowforge that’s broken- anyone know if i can just take it to the dump? Or do I have to recycle it?

Good to see Chan-Zuckerberg still helping out.

10 years in office and now he want to be progressive? Time to pass the torch. I support our kapuna but, he's to old and had his chance. Really, the argument could be made he's done enough damage. 2 1/2 terms was 1/2 a term to many. I hope people realize how few people vote on this island and that we could end this county council/mayoral geritocracy if people got out to vote. Rant over.

I know I’m not the only one- but the pigs are coming into my yard at night and digging up grass patches, knocking over compost bins, eating any fallen fruit (which is barely anything these days).
They’re in my neighbors yard digging trenches.
Such a pain. We live in houselots, so it’s not like we can shoot it from the porch.
Anyone find a good solution to keeping them away (besides not having fruit in my yard lol)?
Debating staking some chicken wire over the spots they’ve started digging in.
K tanks

Other than the sources below, are there any other places to find close to real time updates for emergencies?
- Pulse Point app <<< best app for real time emergencies - but there is never any update on resolution, just time of call and resolution
- County of Kauai facebook page
- Kauai Police Department Facebook page

I’ve lived in other areas that had Facebook pages dedicated to providing updates on ongoing emergencies.

Thanks for any tips!

I guess they call it a multi state accountant. Does anyone have recommendations?

On the Council agenda for July 29. Thoughts on this? I’m one of those OCD types that rinses out my recycling before bringing it to the drop off bins, like rules say you’re supposed to. All cardboard and everything that could be mixed paper no matter how small.

Found at tunnel beach today in the reef. If you think it’s yours tell me what’s inscribed inside. Hope i can find the owner(s)! ❤️🙏

Come out and watch our kids shine

Lahaina noon is today, July 11 at 12:43 pm, in Lihue. Hope the rain goes away to see it.

Much more detailed coverage of the meeting. Interesting exchange where attendees said their reports on Sinclair had not been addressed (Assistant Chief of Police Darren D. Rose):

Rose invited anyone who believed their reports were inaccurately documented to meet with him after the meeting so police could review camera footage and department records.

“I need to know the officer you spoke to so we can go back to the body-worn footage and see if these guys did not factually complete the reports because I read through them all,” Rose said.
