Come enjoy the Christmas parade and lights of Historic Hale’iwa Town on the North Shore Friday, December 14, 2012.
This year’s theme is “Great Leadership, Excellent Schools!” The Grand Marshall will be Randiann Porras-Tang, principal of Waialua High and Intermediate School, who was named the 2012 MetLife/NASSP Principal of the Year for being an outstanding school leader by providing high-quality learning opportunities for our students.
Over 40 units are planned for the parade, including the Royal Hawaiian Band and the two high school bands, beauty queens, horse units, hula dancers, scouts, soccer teams, a fire engine, floats, and many other units unique to the North Shore.
The parade starts at 6:00 PM at the Weed Circle roundabout, and will travel through Haleiwa Town, ending at Hale’iwa Beach Park at approximately 7:00 PM. The road will be closed for approximately one hour.
Other festivities include:
• Children of all ages can visit with Santa Claus before and after the parade, and may also have their picture taken with Santa for a donation of $5.00. Santa will be at the North Shore Marketplace under the monkey pod tree from 4:00 – 5:30 PM, and immediately following the parade from 7:30 to 8:30 PM.
• Shops will host sidewalk sales, in-store specials, demonstrations, and other great events before and after the parade.
The Chamber encourages everyone to come and shop in the unique boutiques and stores in Hale’iwa before and after the parade, and to enjoy local North Shore flavors in one of Hale’iwa’s many great restaurants. The annual parade is a great way to bring friends to this plantation-era community, supporting local businesses and in turn helping to create sustainable economic development on the North Shore.
Arrival before 5:00 PM is recommended in order to find parking in the town’s shopping centers, or at the Historic Haleiwa Gym. A flashlight and lawn chairs or blankets are also recommended. The festivities will close the main street for just over an hour, re-opening around 7:15 PM. City buses will be re-routed during this time; please plan accordingly.
For more information, please call the Chamber at (808) 637-4558 or visit our website at

North Shore project praised
A retail complex near shave ice landmarks draws much attention
North Shore residents taking in Kamehameha Schools' new plans for their community gave it mostly high marks yesterday at a community meeting.
Kamehameha's North Shore Plan covers the 26,000-acre, mauka-to-makai swath between Waimea and the eastern outskirts of Haleiwa.
The plan includes seven key projects, but much of the buzz yesterday was about redevelopment of the 4 acres surrounding the historic Matsumoto and Aoki shave ice stores in the center of town.

Old Haleiwa building gets new life
Historic Haleiwa town serves as a link to the past and a bridge to the future.
And the North Shore Chamber of Commerce is giving an old building new life.
Today the Chamber of Commerce opened its new office and visitor center in Haleiwa.
And while many of the businesses in Haleiwa have changed over the decades, much of the overall look has remained the same.

Please Help Gather Signatures on Petition for Funding of Walkways!
Aloha Members,
Attached is a petition to support funding for walkways and other improvements in Haleiwa Town. When we did our last survey of merchants in Haleiwa Town, 92% supported building walkways. We are now pursuing funding for the design and planning for them. Your help in gathering signatures on the attached petition would be most helpful. Please have everyone sign it: residents, Oahu visitors, and off island visitors. We need a ton of them. You do not need to have a business in Haleiwa to sign or help gather signatures.
Please feel free to make as many copies of petition as you need/want. If you have any questions, please call me.
Mahalo,
Antya

Siren test
Aloha Members,
We need “spotters” (actually “listeners”) to help determine where the new localized sirens can be heard. The Dept of Emergency Mgmt is setting up a warning system that can be given to localized regions, as opposed to the whole island. This will help if Waialua and Haleiwa need to be warned about flooding or Wilson Dam breaking.
Please complete and send the form back to Alenka for Thursday morning’s test. If the dam were to break, it is predicted that both Haleiwa and Waialua would be severely compromised/ damaged.
Mahalo,
