Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES)
Nov. 13, 2019
Bio: Kyla Edison is the Geology and Material Science Technician for the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES), a state funded aerospace company dedicated to promoting the aerospace industry in Hawai’i. A three-time PISCES summer intern, Kyla has been researching in the Planetary Geology field for almost six years. In 2015 & Kyla won a NASA Hawai’i Space Grant fellowship studying gully formation in Martian craters. In 2016 Kyla graduated from the University of Hawai’i Hilo with her bachelors in Geology, having had a dedicated focus to astronomy and planetary geology. Today Kyla is a full-time PISCES employee researching how to create construction materials using Lunar and Martian regolith(surface dust) for future base settlements. Kyla does this by using the strikingly comparable Hawaiian basalt rock and a technique known as sintering. Kyla’s biggest hope is that the construction materials PISCES creates can also have Earth based applications especially for economic development in Hawai’i. |

VASH - Visitor Aloha Society of Hawai`i
Dec. 04, 2019
Aloha and welcome to VASH Hawai`i Island, the Visitor Aloha Society of Hawai`i on Hawai`i Island. Our Mission is to share the aloha spirit with visitors affected by adversity. We recognize that even during the fun and relaxation of vacations, unfortunate events can happen. And when far from home, visitors do not usually have access to their own support systems and resources.
VASH assistance is designed to help visitors cope with and recover from a variety of unfortunate situations such as crime victimization, the loss of a purse or wallet, medical situations, or the death of a loved one. When we receive referrals from the Hawai`i County Police Department, local area hospitals, airport security and others in the visitor industry, we assess each visitor’s situation and needs on a case by case basis to offer appropriate supportive services.
Our Vision is that every visitor touched by adversity will also be touched by the aloha spirit. Our hope is that the stories our visitors tell upon returning home are all about the care and love they received – the aloha – rather than being about the unfortunate incident. |

Aloha, The Rotary Club of Hilo Bay will be staffing the “Light Up A Life” this year on Saturday, December 7th from 10:00am to 6:00pm in the inside entrance of the Macy’s Women’s Store.This is a project that we've done many times in the past but not since around 2016. Volunteers set or stand at the table set up in front of the store. A Christmas tree is set up and the public is invited to place a commemorative ornament with the name of a loved one on the tree. Those who hang the ornament will be asked to make a donation but I don't remember if volunteers or staff from HCC keeps donations in a cash box.
We have enough volunteers to fill all the shifts, but stop by at the table, cheer and donate. 10:00am to 12:00 noon:
12:00 noon to 2:00pm: 2:00pm to 4:00pm: 4:00pm to 6:00pm: To see who signed up, please visit this website:

Vocational Speaker Program
Jan. 15, 2020
Today’s vocational speaker was our very own Sandra Wagner-Wright, author of several books, including the recently published “Two Coins,” a biographical novel covering Mary Pigot’s quest for justice after being wrongly accused of mismanagement and immorality by The Reverend William Hastie in what is known as the Great Scandal of British Calcutta which took place in 1883.
Sandra explained the efforts involved to research the subjects of her work along with the challenging creative and editing processes required to complete a novel. In absence of complete records of events taking place over a hundred years ago, Sandra explained that she has to consume all of the content she can find along with a visit to where the events occurred in order to obtain the character’s voice which helps to fill in the gaps.
In the case of “Two Coins,” her work may be classified as historical fiction since the novel is based on real people and historic events, but the completion of the entire story in novel format requires inference and gap filling by the author due to the lack of written record and the passage of time. This type of novel combines the work of a historical researcher with expert creative writing and storytelling.
Sandra holds the doctoral degree in history and taught women’s history at the University of Hawai`i. Check out her weekly blog relating to history, travel, and the idiosyncrasies of life.
Sandra’s books are available in e-book, audiobook and paper formats distributed through such mainstream booksellers as Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com.

What’s in your fridge? Connection between us and the universe.
Mar. 04, 2020 7:00 a.m.
Do you know your cell phone is powered by a battery which contains rather precious material created during rare occasions in the universe? How about your golf club - the material that makes the shafts originated inside the stars and recycled through the end-of-life explosions. I would like to showcase some of these connections between the familiar items and the rare phenomena or objects in the universe, revealed by the astronomical telescopes. Then I would like to touch on some materials used to construct next generation telescopes actually have common characteristics with the household items like Pyrex in your fridge. Stars are out of the world, but their products are inside and around us! Profile of the speaker: Saeko S. Hayashi is a long time Hilo resident and currently in California. Official title is the associate professor of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. When she was a green astronomer whose first work was with a radio telescope on Maunakea, she always carried an English dictionary (printed one!) to look up words and sentences. Her second tour of duty in Hawaii was with the Subaru Telescope for about two decades. Now she can consult words in a hand-held devices. Her present work is making “da bestest” mirror of a telescope for the next generation explorers. Her two kolohes grew up in Hilo are now in Nevada and in Scotland. |
