WAIPAHU, OAHU (HawaiiNewsNow)- Gov. Neil Abercrombie Monday presented a $450,000 check to The Filipino Community Center, Inc. (FilCom), representing the recent release of a state capital improvement grant for installation of a photovoltaic (PV) system.

"This project will produce electricity for the FilCom Center that will substantially reduce its electric bills and move our community toward energy independence," said Gov. Abercrombie. "The FilCom Center will use the savings to expand its services while perpetuating the Filipino heritage within the larger multi-cultural community in Hawaii."

Appropriated by the 2012 Legislature, the grant will be used to construct and install a roof-mounted, micro-inverter, internet monitoring PV system that is expected to produce approximately 114,000 kWh of power per year, or about 40 percent of FilCom's current electricity usage. The installation is scheduled to be completed within six months.

Briefing addresses lack of ER for west Oahu

Submitted by HawaiiNewsNow W... on Tuesday, April 16th, 3:15 pm

HONOLULU (AP) - The closure of a west Oahu hospital has led to increased ambulance transport times as remaining emergency rooms become over-crowded.

Honolulu Department of Emergency Services Director Mark Rigg says when ERs become full ambulances have to go to locations further away. He's concerned about a lack of standardized criteria for determining when an ER can't accept more patients.

West Oahu councilmembers hosted a briefing on Tuesday to address the lack of an emergency room in the fast-growing area. An emergency room will be available when a closed Ewa hospital reopens in 2014, but it will be more than two years that the area is without an ER.

Councilwoman Kymberly Pine says that before Hawaii Medical Center-West closed, it was the second-busiest emergency room on the island.
