Cooper Center work to begin

Cooper Center work to begin

Volcano’s Cooper Center will be closed from Monday through Sept. 2 for re-roofing, pending weather conditions.

There will be no classes or meetings, and the bookstore and thrift shop will not be accepting donations. The playground also will be closed but the skate park will be available, as well as the picnic tables at that end of the parking lot.

The only access will be the exit driveway at that end; please drive with caution to enter and leave. Caution tape and construction zone signs will be posted.

For questions about the work, contact Linda Ugalde at 936-9705 or kilaueatutu@gmail.com.

Active shooter briefings offered

The Hawaii Police Department will conduct two active shooter presentations Saturday in North Kohala.

The presentations are open to the public by reservation only from 9:30-11:30 a.m. and 12:30-2 p.m. in the North Kohala Inter-Generational Center at Kamehameha Park.

The presentations are designed to help people increase their survivability should they encounter an active shooter or other type of active violent incident. Police will provide information about previous incidents of mass violence, recent events, best practices for those caught in such situations, law enforcement’s response and how to work together as a community toward prevention.

Seating is limited. To attend, contact the Hawaii Community Federal Credit Union at 930-7700 or marketing@hicommfcu.com.
