January 28, 2010 A potluck picnic lunch in Sprecklesville sure sounds nice, huh? More than the makings for a swell Saturday, it's the starts of the Sierra Club's annual meeting. Add to the fellowship a noontime panel discussion themed "Sharing the Water," and a feel-good awards ceremony for three of Maui's do-gooders, and your afternoon is set. "[T]o express the gratitude of the community for the contributions made by those who work tirelessly to protect the natural and cultural treasures of Maui," the Sierra Club's 2010 'Onipa'a Awards (meaning "to remain steadfast," and as an aside, the personal motto of Queen Liliuokalani) will be presented to both beloved Kula crackerjack, Professor Dick Mayer (whose history is too thick to squeeze into a sentence-long synopsis, and as another aside, was, like, totally my neighbor growing up… big ups, Upcountry!), as well as to Kaupo farmer, noted Wailuku revitalizer and Maui Planning Commission chair, Jonathan Starr. Additionally, the Malama 'Aina Award will be presented to Hawaiian cultural educator, Lei'ohu Ryder. Though if the panel topic of "sharing water," makes you think of cooties, don't think too hard about the Maui Wastewater Community Work Group (CWG) meeting, slated for next week Thursday (February 4). Actually, no—think a lot about it. And say something about it too! Gathering your input is their objective, and the 21-member group (convening for the fourth time since their formation in October 2009) invites you to attend from 1:30-4:30 at the Velma McWayne Santos Community Center in Wailuku.
