| FROM THE EAST Aloha Brethren, As many of us that live on the Big Island of Hawaii, we are experiencing at first hand the effects of all the volcanic activity, whether you live on the east or west side of the island, it is affecting all of us one way or another. I will extend my hand and heart to all those that are affected by it and if there are any brethren that are in affected areas, please contact me or any lodge and we will do our best to help and comfort those in need. I would like to share that our Senior Warden Brother Troy Gibson, being a Fireman, has been on scene and has been the “boots on the ground” (sort of speaking) to aid and assist the public in need. Stay safe brother Gibson! I would like to congratulate our two scholarship recipients from Kealakehe and Konawaena High Schools, it’s always a heartwarming feeling to see the younger generation excel and hopefully they will remember and pass on the goodness that we as Masons strive to do.

Bott Pictured above are Konawaena High School Scholarship recipient Austin Ewing and Brother Joe Zapataoliva. FROM THE SOUTH Aloha Brethren, a lot has happened and once again the craft has had positive exposure. We have given two scholarships to deserving students, Nina Lysiuk from Kealakehe High School and Austin Ewing from Konawaena High School. I want to congratulate both students. Once again our Volcano has been very active. Many homes have been lost and families have been displaced. I ask all brethren to find a way of helping. You might want to volunteer, or donate food items. During our stated meeting I will be collecting can goods to be donated to the Salvation Army to help these families. If you find that you have a closet overflowing with unused clothing or find any useful item for these families, I urge you to bring it to our stated meeting and I will take it over and donate in the name of Kona Masonic Lodge. These are the occasions during which Freemasons can make a difference. It is our moral obligation to stand beside our neighbors. Don’t miss out on our once a month dinner. We will be having a roast over jasmine rice, vegetables, salad and we cannot forget our bread rolls. This will be followed by dessert. Come enjoy good camaraderie.
Joe Zapataoliva Junior Warden. Centered in the picture above is RW Brother Barrye Lane Absher visiting from Virginia at the May Stated Meeting. A GEOLOGIST'S VIEW Kilauea Volcano has entered a new phase. Activity that was centered at the summit and at Puʻu Oʻo has shifted to the lower East Rift Zone. A rift zone is an area of weakness on the volcano; Kilauea has two, the East Rift Zone and the Southwest Rift Zone. Recently molten material has moved from the summit, underground, to the lower rift zone in the Puna district. This movement was accompanied by many small earthquakes and two large earthquakes. The large ones were felt all the way to the Kona area, but, were not nearly as severe as the 2006 earthquake which originated over here. Subsequently large cracks opened up in the Puna area and spewed lava and toxic gases. Fortunately for us, all that activity is about 100 miles away. All the molten material erupting in the Puna area is being fed from the lava contained at the summit of Kilauea. Consequently, the lava level at the summit dropped over 1,000 feet. This does two things. First, support for the walls of the vent at the summit is removed, allowing rocks to fall into the remaining lava. This produces some explosive activity and an ash cloud. Second, as the lava level drops, it intersects the water table, which allows water to mix with the lava. This is like splattering water over a frying pan containing hot grease. The reaction is violent! This reaction has produced earthquakes in the summit area, resulting in cracks in Highway 11 and an explosive activity at the summit giving rise to large ash falls. Since this activity is in Puna and Kaʻu, the only effect in Kona is an increase in the vog level. As long as we can tolerate that, we will not otherwise be affected by the lava and earthquakes. Lucky we live Kona.
