We hope you enjoy this new issue of Kailua Town Magazine! This time of year is all about celebrating … celebrating time with friends and family, celebrating all that we’ve accomplished and experienced in the past year, and looking forward to what’s to come in the new year.

This issue is all about celebrating this amazing place that we call home. The small businesses that are owned and run by passionate people living right here, events put on by local businesses and organizations that bring the community together, and the fact that you’re bound to run into friends and neighbors whenever you head into Kailua Town lend a charm to Kailua that is really special.

Very soon, we’ll be able to enjoy Christmas lights and decorations, trolley rides to watch the 35th Adventist Health Castle Christmas tree lighting ceremony, the first Shop Small Kailua weekend, celebrate and shop during a Kailua Town Sip & Shop evening! There is much to look forward to and we hope you’ll take advantage of all of the great events that are lined up!

Beachside Estate Just Sold Available Soon for Short-Term Rentals

October 2019

Brothers Munro and McKay Murdock, of Love Hawaii Realty and Love Hawaii Villas, have recently had the privilege of representing their Clients on the purchase of two beachfront homes located at 86 S. Kalaheo Avenue. These homes have long had Non-conforming Use Certificates (NUCs) for legal short-term rental use and the property will continue to operate as a short-term rental, managed by Munro and McKay, and the rest of the Team at Love Hawaii Villas.

The name for this beachfront estate is now "Hale Oahu" and the updated design elements will incorporate themed rooms representing different areas of the Island of O'ahu, including Kailua. Follow @HaleOahu on Instagram to see project updates, photos of the new design elements and to be a part of the new "story", that is Hale Oahu.

Munro Murdock, Principal Broker / Owner of Love Hawaii Ventures, Inc., has been actively involved with the Hawaii vacation rental industry for more than 10 years and his Love Hawaii Villas team has extensive experience welcoming thousands of Guests to the islands over the years. The Love Hawaii Villas team is excited to be adding this unique property to the luxury portfolio and expects the first Guests to stay in the Hale Oahu "Cottage" as early as Dec. 2019 with the Hale Oahu "Villa" (main house) being available for rentals by the end of March 2020, if not sooner. Updates will be posted via @HaleOahu on Instagram so be sure to follow the account and submit a direct message with any questions.

VILLAS Love Hawaii Realty and Love Hawaii Villas are committed to giving back to the local communities in which they do business, which is why they have implemented their "Sharing the Love" program from the very beginning. This unique and generous program allocates funds from the sale and rental of Hawaii properties to go back into the local communities where the properties are located.

"Our Sharing the Love program is a small and simple way that we are able to allocate thousands of dollars to charitable and educational organizations that serve important needs at the community level," Munro Murdock said.

An initial contribution from the Sharing the Love fund is being made to the Kinai 'Eha organization, which helps young people to learn important trade skills and to get them on a path to successful employment, rather than one of substance abuse and/or incarceration. This is a wonderful organization that the Love Hawaii team learned about while attending a recent Kailua Neighborhood Board Meeting.

Lastly, it was brought to the attention of the Love Hawaii team by Director Gary Weller, of the Kailua Neighborhood Board, that the beach access path adjacent Hale Oahu has been largely overgrown by the vegetation from the property.

Landscapers have already cleared this access path as one of the first projects being taken on at the property, demonstrating the commitment Love Hawaii has to making a positive contribution to the community and of truly listening and responding to the needs and concerns of those who live, work and play in Kailua every day.

For those interested in learning more or booking Hale Oahu for a future stay, please contact Munro or McKay using the contact info below or visit www.LoveHawaiiVillas.com to check on pricing and availability for the vacation homes. Calendars and pricing will soon be made available after some property improvements are completed. A special blessing ceremony and open house will be planned in the early months of 2020 for Hale Oahu and details for that will be posted on Instagram.

The team at Love Hawaii looks forward to making a positive contribution to the community and sharing the spirit of Aloha and the rich history of O'ahu with all those who have the opportunity to visit Hale Oahu in the future.

ME A L PL ANNING

COOKING M A DE E A SY !

Growing up, my family ate together every evening at 6:00PM, sharp. I remember my brothers and I moving around the kitchen, setting the table and getting waters while our parents finished cooking. There were no cell phones and we let the answering machine pick up if, God forbid, someone called the house during dinner time. We talked about our day, reminded each other what the rest of the week was going to bring, and enjoyed each other’s company. My fondest memories center around this fellowship.

As owner of Unboxed Gourmet, my goal is to bring this fellowship back to families by making weeknight cooking easier and less stressful. Many people want to cook but lack the time or skill to efficiently plan, shop and put it all together.

That’s where I come in. I help busy families by compiling a set of weekly recipes, shopping, packing, organizing the ingredients by recipe, and delivering the meal kits. It’s a happy medium between the desire for convenience and sharing quality time over a nutritious meal.

It starts with a 30-minute consultation where I learn about your needs and comfort level in the kitchen. The consultation takes place at your home so that I can also take a look at your kitchen and see what you have to work with. With that information, and my years of experience planning meals for my own family, I will create a plan that makes it easy for you to cook weeknight meals.

804-398-0018 unboxedgourmet.com unboxedgourmet@gmail.com @unboxedgourmet @thatgirlwhocooks

I also offer private cooking lessons geared towards home cooks who want to learn basic skills and be more efficient in the kitchen. As a self-taught home cook, I consider myself a “chef-at-heart.” Cooking is a labor of love that is fun when you feel good about what you’re doing! So, whatever is holding you back, let me help you.

THE BEST CARE FOR OUR PETS For over 30 years, Kailua Animal Clinic has offered Kailua residents premier care for their family members who happen to have four legs, fur, beaks, scales or gills.

Clients enjoy the small practice feel, where everyone is like family, combined with a full range of services including routine exams, surgical procedures, ultrasound, x-rays, ophthalmology, general dentistry, even traditional Chinese medicine.

The team is committed to increasing their knowledge and improving their skills in order to offer the highest standard of care to every pet patient. Last year they expanded, opening the Kailua Animal Clinic Feline Wellness Center, where felines and their families can receive specialized treatments in a stress-free environment.

They also bring new veterinary doctors to the team with specialties and experiences that add to the quality of care available at both clinics.

One of the newest members of the team, Dr. Kristin Levins was born and raised in Wisconsin.

After vet school, she completed an emergency focused internship at a specialty hospital in Wisconsin.

Eventually the cold winters and her husband’s ties to Hawaii brought Dr. Levins, her husband, and their two kitties to Honolulu. She continued to work in emergency medicine for four years before transitioning to day practice at Kailua Animal Clinic.

END-OF-YEAR DENTAL SAVINGS Contact us and see how we can help you maximize your dental benefits before the end of the year.

Many people may not know that they can save hundreds of dollars by using their dental benefits before the end of the year. If your dental plan is based on a traditional calendar year, here are five top reasons to call our office at 261�7448 and make a dental appointment today..

1� Dental Insurance Benefits The maximum that most dental plans will pay is $1,000-$1,500 per year, per person, and unused benefits do not roll over to the next year. Be sure to take advantage of your annual benefits while they are still active.

2� Deductible The deductible is the amount of money a patient must pay out-of-pocket before their insurance kicks in. As with yearly maximums, the deductible resets when your plan rolls over. Take care of any treatments you may need now, before you have to reach a new deductible.

3� Premiums Premiums are the amount of money one pays each month for their insurance plan(s). Those paying premiums should make sure their benefits are used. Even if you don’t need a major treatment, schedule regular dental cleanings to detect early signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, or other problems.

4� Dental Problems Can Worsen Delaying dental check-ups now puts you at risk for more serious and costly treatments in the future. A small cavity today could turn into a root canal and crown down the road.

5� Fee Increase Another reason to maximize your dental benefits before the end of the year is possible fee increases.

Some policies raise their out-of-pocket costs and/ or lower the coverage benefits at the beginning of a new year.

Contact us and see how we can help to maximize your dental benefits before the new year begins!

Market History

Kalapawai Market, at the entrance to Kailua Beach Park, has been a regular part of life for Kailua and Lanikai residents for what seems like forever. It’s a landmark; seems like it’s always been there.

And, if we’re talking modern day Kailua, it’s pretty true.

Longtime Kailua residents and many of the regular customers grew up with “the market.” Like Kailua Town, it’s gone through phases and evolutions to become the Kalapawai we know today, offering everything from coffee and pastries to deli items, to “small kine” grocery items,

Every two weeks when they got paid, they’d pay off their tabs for beer, cigarettes, fish bait and anything else. Then they’d start a new one a few days later.

One of those kids, who is now retired and still lives in Kailua, said, “The Wongs were saints. They kept us going. When Elsie passed away, everyone gathered behind the market to remember her.

The running joke was ‘Eh, you pay your tab yet?’”

In the early ‘90s, after running the Don Dymond. market for close to 60 years, the Wongs were ready to retire, and looking for The original market. someone drinks, ice, and anything to take over you might need on the the lease. way to the beach.

He gradually upgraded, renovated, and added new items that served both Kailua residents and beach visitors.

First, he painted the market the green color that is synonymous with the Kalapawai brand today. The green represented an iconic plantation house, matching the style and aesthetic Don wanted to achieve. They added coffee and became the first coffee shop in Kailua. Then they became the first coffee shop with an espresso machine in town. A couple years later, they added the small wine section. A couple years after that they added the deli. Every couple years, they added something new to round out the offerings.
