o the clueless doo-doo head who came up with the designated parking design at the Maui Harbor Shops in Ma'alaea: SHAME ON YOU! Maybe you should have copied the dignified design at the Ahihi Kinau reserve parking lot in Makena. Local families are given the courtesy to park in any spot and are not charged the parking fee as long we place the "local Hawaii resident" receipt on our dashboard. But how's this: at Ma'alaea, the designated kama'aina parking area is the FARTHEST from the shops and dining. And you know what? It's super far! Way to humiliate and inconvenience local people on the rare chance we get to dine out and shop with our families!

Imua Family Services Celebrates 75 Years!
A newspaper op-ed at the time echoed the need for community involvement. In a piece titled “A Community Obligation” they wrote: “Astonishing strides have been made by this organization in the care and treatment of those who are crippled. Medical diagnosis, physical, occupational, and speech therapies and dozens of other rehabilitative techniques which have been developed and carried out through services provided by Easter Seal societies have put thousands of crippled persons back on their feet…”

and clinical trials were commenced in an effort to eradicate the disease. That year, the Maui community rallied around a fundraising campaign to raise $10,000, the equivalent of about $100,000 today. At the fire stations in Wailuku, Paia and Lahaina, local firemen worked to stuff all 11,000 appeals envelopes. Roy H. Savage, then-chairman of the campaign, was quoted as saying, “Our firemen are doing the job with great enthusiasm. With community-wide recognition of the fine job our society is doing for crippled children, I am confident our goal of $10,000 will be reached.”
One of the agency’s first large fundraising efforts can be tracked back to 1954. It was in that year that polio, also known as infantile paralysis, had been declared an epidemic on Lanai, Maui and Oahu. The Salk polio vaccine from American medical researcher Dr. Jonas Salk had been licensed,
Seventy-five years ago, a small band of community members gathered together on Maui to create the organization that would eventually become Imua Family Services. The purpose of their gathering was to address the polio epidemic, which had begun unleashing its devastating impacts across the islands. Then known as the Maui Unit of the National Society for Crippled Children and Adults, the organization worked to provide physical therapy to children and adults suffering from the debilitating effects of polio. The organization was re-named "Easter Seals" in 1967, became “Imua Rehab” in 1991, and finally landed on “Imua Family Services” in 2003.
While much has changed since its early days when the organization occupied a bungalow behind Kaunoa School, Imua Family Services’ dedication to serving the families of Maui County has not. And while the techniques and terminology have evolved over the years, many things have come full-circle. Over the past couple of years, the agency has found itself once again assisting children and families in the midst of a global pandemic, and as it did early in its existence, Imua Family Services finds itself benefiting from the generous outpouring of support from the community.
Today, Imua Family Services’ mission is to help children reach their full potential. It is the largest provider of Early Intervention services in the State of Hawaii, with an Early Childhood Development Center in Kahului, the new Imua Discovery Garden in Wailuku, and offices in both Lahaina and Molokai. In addition to the therapeutic services provided via Early Intervention, the organization provides autism services, preschool education,
APRIL 202224
“We know that Maui-Molokai-Lanai cannot remain happy if the people here know that hundreds and even thousands of crippled children and adults remain untreated. As more and more organiza tions back the campaign, more and more crippled persons will have the chance to live the life they deserve. We know that the tri-Isles will rally to the cause and help it build irresistible strength.”
For more information about Imua Family Services as it celebrates its 75th anniversary, contact them at (808) 244-7467 or visit them online at www.imuafamily.org. Further infor mation about The Color Festival Hawaii can be found at www.colorfestivalhawaii.org.
The Color Festival Hawaii is a modern American version of a traditional Indian Holi Festival, a thousand-year-old ritual of throwing and applying of colored powders on friends and family, which gives the holi day its common name, “Festival of Colors.” Imua Family Services describes the event as an outdoor celebration of the individu al uniqueness of each and every child and person. The message behind it is one of inclusion – living under the same one rain bow and enjoying life together. Alongside
Imua Family Services continues to lean on the community as a source of “irresistible strength,” and engages its supporters through numerous events and fundraisers such as Paddle Imua, Pedal Imua, and the agen cy’s annual gala. For its 75th Anniversary,
the throwing of colors will be live music from Maui favorites Kanekoa, Marty Dread & Gretchen Rhodes and the House Shak ers, Gilliom & Esquire, featuring Eric Gil liom and Vince Esquire, Dr. Nat and Rio Ritmo, Brown Chicken Brown Cow String Band, and Anthony Pfluke – with DJ Booms hot weaving it all together. Maui’s best food trucks will also be on site to provide ono grindz and sweet treats.
Imua Family Services is particularly proud to announce the return of The Color Festival Hawaii to be held at the Maui Arts & Cultur al Center on Saturday, April 30, 2022.

These eight plants and animals pose a serious risk to our ecosystem, but there’s hope they could be eliminated
“About 75 percent of our landscape is dominated by non-native plants and animals,” Fukushima said. “If you look outside your window right now, chances are it didn’t originate in Hawai‘i.”
✩
Native to Central and South America east of the Andes, LFA were first identified on Maui in 2009, in Waihe‘e, and sightings have subsequently been reported islandwide. Based on genetic analysis, they are believed to have originally been brought to Puna on the Big Island in a shipment of nursery plants from Florida in 1999. In concert with the Hawai‘i Department of Agriculture, MISC considers the LFA controlled, but the threat of spread remains.
“Our mission is preventing, controlling or eliminating the greatest threats to our watersheds, ecological resources, our community, and our way of life,” MISC representative Serena Fukushima told Maui Times. “The best thing we can do is prevention—making sure these plants and animals don’t come here in the first place.”
Inevitably, however, invaders arrive.
LITTLE FIRE ANT
What about more entrenched invasive species, including cats, rats, mongooses, kiawe, and… well…humans?“Asanagency, we have methods for choosing our targets,” Fukushima said. “But we need to be realistic. Some species are more troubling thanWithothers.”thatin mind, here are the top eight flora and fauna on MISC’s “most wanted” list. They aren’t necessarily the most harmful species on-island. That said, MISC believes they pose a significant threat—and holds out hope for control or elimination.
BLESSED MILK THISTLE
The Valley Isle exceeded 3 million visitors for the first time in 2019, according to the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA). As the pandemic recedes, we should expect to return to that level of visitor arrivals. Shipping containers and cruise ships flow into our harbors daily. Inspectors are perpetually overworked and understaffed, according to the state Department of Agriculture. The threat of invasive species is omnipresent.
These yellow-red pests—referred to by MISC and other groups as LFA—are about as long as a penny is thick. They don’t build traditional ant hills; instead, they nest in trees, potted plants, and other tough-to-identify spaces. Their bite is irritating to humans and potentially blinding to pets, and they have a symbiotic relationship with aphids, white flies, and other parasitic insects.
T
he Maui Invasive Species Committee’s job is hard.
Purple flowers and shiny green leaves identify this Southern European native, which ranges from 2 to 6 ft. in height. A single Blessed Milk Thistle can produce as many as 6,000 seeds and contains high levels of nitrate, which is poisonous for grazing animals such as cattle and sheep.
For now, according to MISC, it’s isolated mostly to Makawao, where eradication efforts are ongoing.
COQUI FROG
Colloquially known as “Thai spinach,” ivy gourd features white flowers and red fruit and its native range stretches from Africa to Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. It grows rapidly–up to 4 in. in a single day. Infestations are centered in Kapalua, Lahaina, and Kihei, and it’s also been found in Makawao and Waiehu, and on Lana‘i. MISC said it is working to monitor and control the plant in these areas.
A clumping plant that grows as tall as 6 ft., Pampas Grass is illegal to propagate, transport, or export in Hawai‘i. Native to South America, it was introduced locally as an ornamental for its white-to-purple feather-like plumes.
FOUNTAIN GRASS
PAMPAS GRASS
A tree with oval-shaped leaves and purple berries that can grow up to 50 feet tall, Miconia shades out native plants and creates an “umbrella” effect that saps rainwater, while its shallow roots cause erosion. A full-grown Miconia tree produces six to nine million seeds a year, and the seeds remain viable for more than a Miconiadecade.arenative to Mexico as well as Central and South America. The trees have spread across nearly 40,000 acres in East Maui. Today the focus is on containment rather then eradication.
Native to Africa, fountain grass grows in clumps up to 3 ft. in height with pale yellow or purple seed shoots. It’s found in Waiehu and Kahului, with a limited population on Lana‘i. The state Department of Agriculture successfully eliminated fountain grass on Molokai in the ‘90s.
With a stronghold in Maliko Gulch and established populations on the North Shore as well as West, Central and South Mau, coqui are on the verge of a permanent, islandwide invasion.
Local trouble spots include Upcountry Maui and Haleakala National Park, but Pampas seeds are windborn and easily spread, according to MISC.
Cultivated for its medicinal properties, Mullein grows up to 10 ft. in height and features oval leaves, wooly “hairs,” and yellow flowers.
IVY GOURD
A drought-tolerant plant common to Europe, North Africa and parts of Asia, it can choke out native vegetation and has been observed near the top of Haleakala (at elevations above 9,000 ft.) as well as parts of Kula.

Native to Puerto Rico, coqui frogs are small (slightly more than 1 inch long). They’re also ear-splittingly loud, as anyone who lives in their vicinity will attest. The nighttime mating call of the male coqui can top 90 decibels, about the same as a typical lawn mower running two feet from your ear. And they’ve taken hold on Maui, impacting everything from native ecosystems to tourism and real estateMISCvalues.andother agencies are trying to contain Maui’s coqui population with the help of landowners and volunteers by spraying citric acid, which kills them on contact. However, their resources are limited and funding is hard to secure. MISC warns, “Without a significant and sustained increase in efforts, the vision of a coqui-free Maui will become impossible.”
Similar to pampas grass in appearance, fountain grass increases fire risk, according to MISC and other state agencies.
