                   WEATHER CAUSES TWO OVERFLOWS

 

(Sun., June 5, 2011) – The City's Department of Environmental Services responded overnight and early this morning to two sanitary sewer overflows in Kaneohe.

ENV received a call at 9:50 p.m. regarding homes backing up at 243 and 247 Mikiola Drive.  Heavy rains and stormwater inundated the collection system causing two private cleanouts to release approximately 1,400 gallons of untreated wastewater into a storm drain that leads to Kaneohe Bay.

Also, wet weather overwhelmed and caused manholes at Kaneohe Pretreatment Facility to discharge an estimated 30,000 gallons of untreated wastewater between 10:30 p.m. and 1:30 a.m. into Kawa Stream, which leads to Kaneohe Bay.

ENV notified the state Department of Health.  The affected areas have been cleaned, disinfected and deodorized. Signing and water sampling is underway.

ART BY EMPLOYEES AND THEIR FAMILIES ON DISPLAY

 

(Thurs., June 9, 2011)—Eighty-three works of art created by City employees and their families are on display at Honolulu Hale as part of the sixth annual exhibit of The National Arts Program in Honolulu. The event, presented by the National Arts Program Foundation and the Mayor's Office of Culture and the Arts, features original paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, crafts, and other visual arts.

 

Professional artists from the Commission on Culture and the Arts judged all of the works in five categories: amateur, intermediate, professional, teen and youth. A reception and award ceremony was held today at noon. Acting Mayor and Managing Director Douglas Chin congratulated the artists and presented awards to the winners.

 

            A portrait painting titled "I'll Get Through This" by Rebekah Dalton was named the overall best in show. Rebekah is a relative of a Honolulu Police Department employee. She received a $300 grand prize. A total of 16 prizes were awarded and each artist received a certificate from The National Arts Program.

 

The program was established in 1983 by the National Arts Program Foundation to identify the artistic talents of our nation. It involves employees and family members in more than 450 large and small cities, counties, airports, hospitals, and other organizations. The program is now producing "people's art" at a rate of some 30,000 pieces a year. The City and County of Honolulu is the only organization in Hawaii to participate.

 

            "The creativity displayed in these works is amazing," said Mayor's Office of Culture and the Arts Executive Director Kaleve Iosefa.  "I thank the National Arts Program Foundation for partnering with the City. The program brings out the artistic talents of our City ohana."

 

Exhibit hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.  Exhibit viewing is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Mayor's Office of Culture and the Arts at 768-6622 or visit www.honolulu.gov/moca.
