Community opposition in Kohala is growing over a proposal that would allow the development of a parking lot near the Pololū Valley trailhead. The proposal would open the door to the development of a 13-lot subdivision along the Pololū Valley ridgeline. Private landowners are donating land on the Pololū Valley floor and near the trailhead in exchange for the subdivision.

9-year-old girl begins clinical trial for rare brain tumor
Doctors diagnosed Cheyleia Gomes of Kahaluu with an aggressive, life-threatening brain tumor called DIPG last year.
After being denied from one trial, Chey’s parents, Rhianna Ramos and Kaipo Gomes, received a call on New Years Day about another clinical trial opening nearly 5,000 miles away from home.
A day later, Cheyleia and her dad boarded a flight for New York City, where she’s now preparing for surgery on Thursday at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Chey’s mother is expecting a baby any day now, and wasn’t able to make the trip.
