In Hawaiian Language which I speak "small kine" to my son one of the words I use is Kuleana. When he was younger I used it in terms of homework. It is your kuleana or job. But that is not the true Hawaiian meaning. It goes deeper. Kuleana is your Responsibility or the Right thing to do. In Hawaiian thinking the right thing to do comes from your na'au or your guts. If you perform your Kuleana then you are Pono or in balance in harmony.
This November 4th it is our Kuleana or responsibility to Vote. Whomever you choose is your concern, but it is our "Kuleana" from deep in the gut that we recognize we have this priviledge and we must act.
If you are voting early click on the following Maui News article for early voting information:

If you are voting on November 4th I look forward to seeing you at the voting booth! Show your concern and your Kuleana!

There is something in the air at the Maui Ocean Center. I mean really in the air on top of the entry roof you will now see six prototype wind turbines. They are there to supplement the electric that the Maui Ocean Center uses and are the product of AeroVironment of California. Just another example of renewable energy for Maui. Turbines are set to go online and begin production within the week.
A final inspection by the County was performed on Wednesday. This is a joint project between the Maui Ocean Center, AeroVironment and MECO which provided 10,000. in research and development for the project. The system cost to Maui Ocean Center was $46,029.
The turbines were installed on the outside wall of the Maui Ocean Center for a purcpose. The turbines utilize AeroVironment's "Architectural Wind" design technology. The wall acts as an accelerate for the wind that then goes through the blades which increases the energy output. Even though Maalaea is typically windy this will ensure greater output for the system.
Below is an example of the system at work from the company's website: http://www.avinc.com/cleanenergy.asp

KAI MALU IN WAILEA
Just south of Kihei in Wailea is my favorite new home community called Kai Malu. I recently had the opportunity to show buyers this special neighborhood. Located in the Resort area of Maui in Wailea, this complex had (as of this writing) 22 listings active listings that were available, ranging from 1,149,000. to 2.25 million. Differences in pricing are based on views and ammenities.
Kai Malu is a newer gated community in Wailea comprised of 75 (2) unit buildings for a total of 150 units. Duplex type condos. The community is nestled by The Blue Course in Wailea. Views of the Golf Course, Sparkling Pacific Ocean, outer islands and Haleakala views abound. A treasure of Tropical plantings line the neighborhood for you to enjoy and there are many open areas with walking pathways for the community as well. The maintenance fee covers Water, Sewer, Trash removal, all groundskeeping and pool/gym maint. and Exterior Insurance.
Kai Malu has what I consider to be one of the best community facilities on Maui. A huge disappearing edge pool, spa, bbq and kitchen, workout room, dry and steam sauna and meditation area surrounded by lava rock walls, streams, and abundant tropical plantings. But the best part of the community area is the VIEW. Huge ocean and outer island views that are totally unobstructed.
The MAPS showing location of this community are incorrect on most of the MLS listings. The correct maps are ones with Kainehe Pl and Kai Malu Pl so you can get a better idea of location. It is approx. 8 blocks to ocean via the roadway near the Shops of Wailea, great restaurants and the best of Maui's beaches.
