The Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum announces a virtual education program opportunity for Maui’s 2nd-grade classes.

With Maui’s schools being challenged this year by the COVID-19 pandemic, and field trips unlikely, the Sugar Museum has developed lending kits for teachers to use in the classroom. These kits are filled with learning materials, crafts and games that teach children about our sugar plantation heritage and how it has shaped our current island society. Instructions are included and the museum’s website has instructional videos and materials.

Museum Director Jill Pridemore says, “Although our program has needed to adapt during these changing times, we are excited to announce a modified program that takes into account the needs of schools to social distance and provides opportunities for virtual curriculum.”

The Sugar Museum’s education program, which began in 1990, teaches students about the history of the sugar industry and plantation life on Maui, and is celebrating 30 years of serving Maui’s students.

Teachers may request a free kit and more information at https://ift.tt/2GCBu7p, email education@sugarmuseum.com or call (808) 871-8058.

Portions of the Education Program are funded by a grant from Alexander & Baldwin.

This included creating and implementing new risk management strategies to reduce the spread of the virus but staying up-to-date with evolving payroll regulations and remaining compliant with industry-specific, local, state, and federal laws. Looking ahead to the following stages of the pandemic, HR and business leaders need to focus on value-added tasks that will improve stabilizing the organization, instead of using manual or inefficient tools when processing information. Unfortunately, this reduces efficiencies across the company and prevents the company from taking advantage of the expected 5.2% growth of the industry forecast this year. While this output will be higher than the output level of 2019, it is still $1 trillion lower than what was expected without the occurrence of the coronavirus. This is why it wi...

Staff writer, with CNA WILDLIFE Miaoli reiterates dog ban The Miaoli County Government on Friday reiterated that hunting dogs are banned from areas known to be the habitat of Taiwan’s only surviving wild feline — the leopard cat. The Miaoli Agriculture Department said that signs have been put up since the ban was first imposed on March 25 in areas south of County Highway No. 140. It is likely that people have been training dogs in the area, as some that have been seen in the area wore tracking collars, the department said. Patrols in the area have been increased to help protect the indigenous species, the department said. People caught breaching the ban face fines of between NT$60,000 and NT$300,000 in accordance with provisions of the Wildlife Conservation Act (野生動物保育法), it said. Other efforts to protect the leopard cats include speed warning signs, fences and speed cameras along the county highway after seven leopard cats were reported killed on the road last year, the depar...
