It's about time...

Aikahi area residents have been complaining about the rotten odor from the Kailua Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant for decades. Bandaids have been applied from time to time, but FINALLY, the City & County has gotten serious about fixing the problem.

They estimate 18 months to completion. Even if the smell disappears, the stigma will cling to Aikahi Gardens condos for awhile. This might present an attractive investment opportunity. As happened with Crosspointe in Salt Lake, which was stygmatized by past termite issues, values stay depressed for awhile even after the problem is cured, but once word gets out to the brokerage community and home buyers generally that the problems are solved, price escalation begins.

Kailua's very popular Farmer's Market brings hundreds of residents and visitors out on Thursday nights. It's about to get even more entertaining.

Starting Thursday, June 3, local Kailua and Waimanalo halau hula will be performing at the Kainalu Plaza fountain courtyard (near California Pizza Kitchen) on first, third and fifth Thursdays.

Mahalo nui to kumu hula Charlani Kalama, Mapuana de Silva, Chinky Mahoe, Kaanohi Aipa, Wanda Akiu, Ada Enos, Lehua Carvalho, Ku Souza and Donna Sylvester for this wonderful cultural gift to the community. Hurrah for Harold K.L.Castle Foundation and Kaneohe Ranch Management Ltd. for sponsoring the FREE shows.

Farmer's Market is every Thursday from 5 to 7 PM (except major holidays) on the ground level of the parking structure behind Longs. The hula performances will be from 6 to 7 PM on first, third and fifth Thursdays.
