HOUSE RESOLUTION
CONGRATULATING THE WINNERS OF THE HAWAII: NEXT 50 CONTEST.
WHEREAS, the future of our
State and country depends upon the students of today, for they are the future
leaders of the community and should be supported in their everyday endeavors;
and
WHEREAS, the Hawaii: Next 50 Contest is
inspired by former Governor George Ariyoshi's book, "Hawaii: The Past
Fifty Years, The Next Fifty Years," which delves into our islands' history
as a State and prompts the next generation to think about what can be done to
keep Hawaii moving forward in the next century; and
WHEREAS, the Hawaii State Plan, developed
by Governor Ariyoshi, contained numerous long-range policies regarding Hawaii's
future development, with the contributions and ideas from concerned citizens
being essential in the planning process; and
WHEREAS, this contest is intended to
encourage our youth to take ownership of their future, to take an active role
in shaping their communities, and to voice their opinion on the direction that
the State of Hawaii must take to make it the best place it can be, showing
others that their opinions matter and their voices are being heard; and
WHEREAS, the Hawaii: Next 50 Contest,
sponsored by the Hawaii State House of Representatives, aio Foundation, Hawaii
Pacific Health, Hawaii Medical Service Association, and Hawaii Pacific Health
Institute, asks the students of Hawaii: "What can we do to promote the
healthy Hawaii we want to see in the next 50 years?"; and
WHEREAS, over 300 students from grades four
to twelve sent submissions to the Hawaii: Next 50 Contest, touching on topics
such as air pollution, invasive species, homelessness, creating affordable
housing options, establishing programs to improve people's attitudes, and
initiatives to prevent obesity; and
WHEREAS, the submissions of the Hawaii: Next
50 Contest winners: Kaia Fujinaka of Waiakea Elementary School, Brian Li of
Punahou School, Cameryn Rae Kahalewai of Molokai High School, Aaron Omuro of
Kahului Elementary School, Alena Bolosan of Ewa Makai Middle School, and Mary
Brittany Bello of Waipahu High School, best embody the spirit of the Hawaii:
Next 50 contest in proposing solutions to the problems that Hawaii faces today
and imagining a path for Hawaii's future in the next 50 years; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of the
Representatives of the Twenty-ninth Legislature of the State Hawaii, Regular
Session of 2018, that this body hereby congratulates the winners of the Hawaii:
Next 50 Contest, and expresses to them its deep appreciation for coming up with
creative solutions to keep Hawaii moving forward and make it the best place to
live and work for the next 50 years and beyond.
