  • Re: Making A Community Better, Safe, Sight, & Sound!

    Aloha,

    I went to the State Capitol to lobby for another Bill. However, I could not stay silent when the following Bill came up. As I was sitting in the front, I heard Director Chad Taniguchi speak as he has so many times in the past. The problems existed way before he became Director. Some things have been fixed. As I gave my testimony to the Senators, I spoke from my heart as I always do. Investigate Public Housing! Listen to the people. I lived without hot water for thirty days. Some lived without for years. I keep getting calls of residents who live in apartments with rodents. They live in fear. Afraid of reporting. Year after year, Fetu and I went before our Legislature. We testified and learned about the process. One of our Bills made it and became Law. Yes. I will not stay silent any longer.

    I'm in Support of this Bill. We need a Special Master.

        In other news.

        Securitas USA expands in Hawaii
        http://www.starbulletin.com/business...ss_Briefs.html

        "Securitas Security Services USA Inc. said yesterday that it has bought the Hawaiian commercial assets of Akal Security Inc. in a transaction scheduled to close on February 20. The acquisition will include more than 30 locations and 300 security officers.

        Akal's pacific region director, Lee Donohue, will be joining Securitas USA in the capacity of director of security for Hawaii.

        Securitas USA employs more than 2,400 workers in Hawaii, with 11 branch managers, overseeing four offices on Oahu, Maui and Kauai, and two offices on the Big Island."

        We were told the other day. All of us have to re-apply with Securitas. I really enjoyed my job. I gained knowledge, met wonderful people and lost weight. I can run and walk up and down the stairs without holding a rail with ease. I am fit now. I am sad for my fellow workers. Nothing is guaranteed. I am sad to hear of the Star Bulletin too. I have friends who lost their jobs there. It is a scary time for all.

        Good night and God bless Everyone.

          Good luck to you. Hopefully, you will a have job and your new employer will be nice to everyone.

          At my company, the security guards had it rough when Centurion closed a few years ago. Not only did their last paychecks bounce, but the management taking over (Ali'i) lied to and screwed over their new employees. It was not a good start.

                I'm happy for you Auntie Lynn. I remember awhile ago when you were unhappy about losing a job, but as it worked out, you've instead landed in a place were you enjoy your work, and they value what you do.
                Now run along and play, but don’t get into trouble.

                    Everything happens foa a reason.

                    Yes. I truly am very HAPPY. My job is in the heart of Waikiki. I get to walk 3.5 acres of Queen Emma's Estate. Making shua everything is secured and safe for it's vendors and visitors. The Hula Show is fabulous and I get to see and know the performers of the streets too. It's exciting to work in beautiful Waikiki. Of course there is the ugliness side too. I've been trained by the best to handle all kinds of situations. No whack whacking when it comes to reality.

                    Mahalo,

                      Are you working at the International Marketplace? If so, that's great. There's always a need there for vigilant and conscientious guards there. Good luck in your new assignment.

                        Yes I am.

                        Queen Emma Property owns International Market Place and Waikiki Town Center on Kuhio Avenue. I'm the Rover. I'm always observing. I've also learned to call for back-up and not handle situations by myself. We work as a team.
