Blasting Rocks Kiahuna
Out of the dust rises the Pheonix…..earthquake? What!!? As I sat enjoying a wonderful lunch with several of my collegues at Joe’s on the Greeen, out of nowhere came a soul shaking boom and the iced tea glasses quivered in unison like a line of Las Vegas showgirls all down the table. Luckily for us, no earthquake but just a scheduled blasting as Goodfellow, site work contractor for Brookfield Homes forges ahead carving up the bedrock on site of the new Pili Mai project at the edge of the fairways on the Kiahuna Golf Course. Grading permits at long last issued, the fist stages of site prep are finally under way. What a spectacle as the sky subtly dims the sparkling afternoon sun across the course as the cloud of dust and silt floats on the tradewinds that followed the blast. Interestng challenge for the afternoon duffers. looking for a bunker to dive into raher than out of!

The plans for this project are very attractive, it is nice to see it finally clear some of the start-up hurdles. Growth is inevitable and finding the way to have it happen for the best use of the visitors and locals is critical. That can only be accomplised working together; not stonewalling fropm either side.
