ʻO ka hōʻike hana hou loa no Kāna Lukia Aia i loko, a hiki i ka mokupuni ke kaena i kēia manawa he ʻehiku o nā mahina ʻewalu i kēia manawa i hoʻopaʻa i ka ulu mua ʻole o ka hōʻea ʻana o nā malihini kipa.
He 36,342 hōʻeuʻeu hōʻea hōʻea hou mai i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ʻAukake 2019, e hōʻailona ana i ka helu nui loa o ka hōʻea ʻana i hoʻopaʻa ʻia no kēlā mahina.

"ʻO kēia ala ulu ulu mau kahi hōʻike maopopo e hōʻike maikaʻi ʻia kā mākou papahana, hana maikaʻi, a me nā hanana leʻaleʻa pūlima a ke loaʻa nei ka traction me nā mea kūʻai mai ma ka ʻāina a me nā mākeke kūwaho," i ʻōlelo ʻia e Kuhina Huakaʻi Hon. Dominic Fedee.
