Island Connection, set to air on both K5 and KGMB at the end of June. One of our local transplants we will be highlighting is Crunch of Aloha, the only crackseed store in Las Vegas. Owners Donny and Jammie Salce- do (formerly of Wai‘anae) opened their shop during the pandemic and are grate- ful to the support of the Vegas community. Crunch of Aloha offers 65 glass
jars of crackseed, thin beef jerky, shave ice, and the only strawberry and Coke ICEES that can be found in Las Vegas. They also ship their products — order on- line at crunchofaloha.com.
Catch Sebastian and Ninth Island Connection at 7 p.m. Wednesdays on K5 and 2 p.m. Sundays on KGMB.

JUNE 9, 2021 MIDWEEK 13
An important message
to our customers
Hawaiian Electric is here to keep you connected
It’s time to take action
The moratorium on disconnections for nonpayment ended May 31, 2021. If your account is past due, now is the time to choose a payment schedule that meets your needs. Customers on a payment plan are not subject to disconnection. Sign up now for an interest-free payment arrangement. To review options and submit a request, go to hawaiianelectric.com/paymentarrangement.
What to expect
If your account is past due and we do not hear from you, we may automatically
roll your balance into a 12-month payment plan with your July 2021 bill so you can avoid disconnection. Your July bill will be larger than normal because it will include the current charges plus the installment amount. You can opt out of the plan or transition to a more tailored plan to fit your needs at any time by going to hawaiianelectric.com/COVID19.
What happens if I can’t pay?
If you do not pay the amount due while on a payment plan, it may trigger collection activity and your service may be disconnected. Please contact us right away if you need assistance or to make an adjustment to your arrangement. We’re here to help but we can’t help if we don’t hear from you.
Is there assistance available?
Yes, if you are experiencing financial hardship related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we encourage you to seek government and nonprofit agency assistance. While Hawaiian Electric does not administer these programs we work with them. See a listing of resources at hawaiianelectric.com/COVID19.
Watch out for scams
Scammers will try to scare you into thinking that your power is about to be shut off. Don’t be fooled. Hawaiian Electric NEVER threatens immediate disconnection and NEVER asks for payment with gift cards, Cash App, Bitcoin or prepaid debit cards. Ignore calls, texts, emails or in-person collectors who say you’ll be immediately disconnected if you don’t pay.
YWCA O‘ahu aims to empower Hawaii’s women of all ages and from all walks of life with opportunities to develop job skills, holistic wellness, professional advancement and personal success.
