Chinese New Year: The Year of The Boar!

Chinese New Year events in West Hawaii:

- The Tong Wo Society will hold its traditional Chinese New Year celebration and potluck luncheon Feb. 18 at the society’s building. The event starts at 11 a.m. with the traditional lion dance and firecrackers. The potluck lunch follows.

The Tong Wo Society building in Kohala, which was built in 1884, is the oldest Chinese-type structure in the state. It is about three miles from the King Kamehameha statue toward Pololu, just past the first horseshoe turn on the mauka side. The two-story Victorian structure can been seen from the highway.

Donations from the celebration will be used to pay for some of the repairs caused to the building by the Oct. 15 earthquakes.

- The Rotary Club of Kona Mauka will be holding a one-of-a-kind fundraising event on Chinese New Year. The cultural experience will take place at Dr. David Hiranaka and Dr. Joan Greco’s residence, also known as the Glass House, in Kailua-Kona starting at 5:30 p.m.

The evening will showcase traditional Chinese activities such as calligraphy, basic tai chi instruction, Chinese music, Asian art, the Chinese horoscope, a lion dance and information about Chinese New Year. The menu will feature authentic Chinese cuisine. Tickets are $75 each and includes food, wine, entertainment and a silent auction. All proceeds will go toward activities and scholarships for the youth at Konawaena High School.

- Note: Kailua-Kona’s annual Chinese New Year Block Party was canceled this year.

Agenda Set For Upcoming Planetary Defense Conference

"Some believe that all of this is science fiction," Dr. William H. Ailor stated, "but we know that an asteroid (Apophis) 300 meters in diameter, large enough to cause serious damage, will pass within 20,000 miles of Earth-closer than our weather satellites-in 2029, and an impact by the same asteroid in 2036 cannot be ruled out. This conference will help improve our readiness should we need to defend our planet in the future."
