Project Livesaver Comes to Hawai`i Island to Protect Alzheimer’s Patients

An invaluable project to protect wandering loved ones suffering from dementia has come to the County of Hawaii thanks to the partnership of Councilmember Fred Holschuh, Project Lifesaver International, and Mr. Howard Marks of the East Hawaii Development Disabilities Council.

This endeavor will hopefully result in the establishment of a sustainable personal identification and locator/tracking system for persons suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease or other dementia who may be at risk of wandering.

Locating wandering patients with cutting-edge technology

By forming partnerships with local public safety organizations, Project Lifesaver deploys specifically trained teams with the most reliable radio technology available to quickly locate and return wandering adults and children to their families and caregivers.  The program has a 100% recovery rate nationwide.

Hands-On Training Session in Hilo

A week long training session, conducted by Colonel Tommy Carter and Maury Cahill of Project Lifesaver International, was held in Hilo from June 26 to 30, 2006.  Participating in the training were representatives from the Hawaii Fire Department, Hawaii Police Department, Office of Aging, East Hawaii Development Disabilities Council, and Alzheimer’s Association.  In addition to classroom training, participants received field hands-on training utilizing electronic tracking equipment.  Instructor certification and helicopter training were also part of the curriculum.

The training is the first phase of bringing this nationally recognized program to the County of Hawaii.  Once implemented, it will protect the wandering and bring peace of mind to families, caregivers, and communities. 

Funding for the training and equipment purchase were made available through Councilmember Holschuh.

Hawai`i County Police Dept. Gets New Tracker Dog, Katie the Canine

The Hawaii Police Department has a new police dog trained to track missing persons as well as dead bodies.

It's a 3-year-old golden Labrador retriever named Katie. She was donated to the department by Canines for Kids Inc., a North Carolina non-profit organization that trains and provides free dogs for police departments across the country.

Dogs help track missing children and wandering elderly people

The organization's focus is to make it easier for police to find missing children and elderly people, said president and co-founder Mike Craig, who runs the two-person operation with Linda Dunn.

They believe the Big Island has a special need for canine assistance.

"There's a huge elderly population here," Craig said, "And people disappear."

After initially training Katie on the Mainland, Craig and Dunn worked with her on the Big Island to get her acclimated to the island’s varied terrain, including that of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Katie joins the HPD team in Hilo

Since the trainers' departure, Officer B J Duarte of the Juvenile Aid Section in Hilo has taken over the training duties. He and Katie will work as a team.

Tucker the bloodhound patrols Kona

Tucker the bloodhound will now stay full time with Officer Walter Ah Mow of the Juvenile Aid section in Kona. Tucker, who joined the department in April, had been dividing his time between the two officers.

The Hawaii County Council officially approved accepting the latest dog at its July 7, 2006 meeting.

The Police Department also has two dogs trained to sniff out drugs.

Hulihe`e Palace free concert honors King Kamehameha III August 27

The Daughters of Hawai‘i present a free concert 4 p.m. Aug. 27 at Hulihe‘e Palace to remember the late King Kamehameha III, “Kauikeaouli.” Enjoy the voices of the Merrie Monarchs and Hawaiian performing arts by Kumu Hula Etua Lopes and his Halau Na Pua Ui O Hawai‘i. Seating is limited so bring a beach mat or chair.

“Born in 1813, Kauikeaouli was the second surviving son of Kamehameha the Great and he became king when he was 11 years old,” says Fanny Au Hoy, palace administrator. “During his 30-year reign, he signed the Great Mahele, dividing land among his people; declared the right of religious freedom and instituted the kingdom’s first written constitution.” In 1843, King Kamehameha III coined Hawai‘i’s motto that appears on the state seal and coat of arms: “`Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono-the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness.”

Kauikeaouli’s birthplace is marked at Keauhou Bay and the Daughters perform a ceremony there every March 17. Stories, passed down through generations, about Kauikeaouli’s birth—plus interesting facts and photos on how the site has been preserved through the Daughters’ efforts—can be found in the fascinating new book, “Na Lani Kaumaka.” It is available at the Hulihe’e Palace Gift Shop.

Hulihe‘e Palace is located at 75-5718 Ali`i Drive in the heart of Kailua. Caretakers of the historic landmark are the Daughters of Hawai`i. Founded in 1903, the organization opens its membership to any woman who is directly descended from a person who lived in Hawai`i prior to 1880. Helping the Daughters in their efforts since 1986 are the Calabash Cousins; membership is available to all, 329-1877, www.huliheepalace.org .
