maui: Wailuku County Morgue
- 02/21/08 10:15 AM
WAILUKU — The County Council Policy Committee on Tuesday recommended authorizing the purchase of a site for a county morgue.

maui: supperferry protest
- 12/16/07 07:24 AM
December 15th 2007 9:00 am; yesterday I was on floor duty and the Superferry protestors were in full occupation of our property. Century 21 did not give them permission to be on the property and has no alliance what so ever with the superferry. Neither pro or anti. We remain neutral. My personal opinion belongs to me and not to the public. This is why there is voting process. Anyhow I did get to hand out over 50 business cards and snap a few photos. Most people smiled and had something cute to say. A few were disgruntled. Here's what I saw,about … (2 comments)
maui: the old Kahului Shopping Center
- 12/15/07 07:05 PM
Alexander & Baldwin's plan for redeveloping the old Kahului Shopping Center on Maui includes a novel plan for dividing the project into condominiums. Its subsidiary, A&B Properties, has proposed using a nested condominium approach for the mixed-use Kahului Town Center. Nested condominiums have been used on the Mainland in large, mixed-use urban projects, where residential units and commercial units are managed by separate associations, said Kahului attorney Rick Kiefer, who presented the A&B plan to the state Real Estate Commission in October. No other projects in Hawaii, to date, have proposed using nested condominiums, said Cynthia Yee, the commission's condominium specialist. … (0 comments)
"An Open Letter to the Ohana's on Maui"
My heart goes out to each and everyone of us, as we struggle in these trying times. The information provided on this blog is courteous & only meant to inform you, your families, friends. Many of us have found ourself ousted with no where to turn to. In these turbulent times I'm often reminded to remain humble & pure, because any of us could be on the receiving end of a foreclosure, there are 100's maybe 1000's of attributes that bring us to a loss of homes. I'm here to help and inform, "please call me" and I promise to help you to the best of my ability. Owners, Industry folks, Renters, anyone who is affected by foreclosures, because in the long run we are all are in this together. Aloha Jeffery
