U.S. Census Bureau recruiting
The U.S. Census Bureau is recruiting 100 census takers for the 2010 Census on Kaua‘i. These short-term jobs offer flexible hours, paid training, reimbursement for mileage and pay $17 per hour. Census takers do field work in neighborhoods near their homes.
The Census Bureau has conducted a population count of the entire United States every 10 years since 1790. The information gathered by the census is used to make decisions important to the future of Kaua‘i. For example, it is used to apportion seats in the House of representatives and to make decisions about how much federal money can be allocated to projects on Kaua‘i.
Job applicants with the 2010 census must meet the following minimum requirements:
— 18 years of age
— Complete and application
— Have proper identification documents
— Favorable background (name) check
— Complete a 30 minute written test
There are several test sessions scheduled at different times and locations on Kaua‘i in the up coming weeks. Interested applicants can get more information at www.2010censusjobs.gov and can call 697-7220 with questions about jobs and how to apply.
Not everyone who is qualified is hired; applicants who are selected are called when jobs are available. Bilingual applicants are encouraged to apply.
Curves Lihu‘e to ‘help make women stronger in 2010’
Curves of Lihu‘e will be joining other Curves facilities throughout the world this January in a company-wide campaign called Stronger + Together, an international movement to make one million women healthier in 2010. The program will rely heavily on women sharing their success stories and providing confidence and inspiration to others.
The heart of the program lives online at www.Curves.com/StrongerTogether, where women can find useful information about the new campaign, register for the campaign to join the cause, share their personal stories about how they were able to start a healthier lifestyle, and find a myriad of useful tools, such as easy-to-send e-mails designed for women to send messages of inspiration to loved ones and the option to create a personal profile to promote their story on the Web site.
With the campaign comes a “join now and get 30 days free” promotion to get women on the bandwagon of getting healthy.

Malie Organic’s new facial collection
Malie Organics introduces an anti-aging skincare collection featuring new plant technology exclusively from the State of Hawai‘i. Malie Organics’ primary active ingredient, Hawaiian Coffee Fruit Extract from Kona, possesses more antioxidant power than any other plant source — and more than any other coffee derivatives used in skincare brands today.
The coffee fruit creates and stores unique antioxidants and nutrients to protect its seeds from the tropical sun and other environmental stress. The result: five antioxidants working synergistically to repair cell damage and neutralize the free radicals that cause aging. They also provide dynamic anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-bacterial action.
All natural skincare with 70 percent certified organic ingredients. Free of parabens, petroleum, phosphates and fragrance.
HIJC joins Legal Aid
The Hawai‘i Immigrant Justice Center, Hawai‘i’s only legal service in the state that services low-income immigrants, has joined the Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i, the state’s oldest nonprofit public interest law firm. HIJC will be officially known as the Hawai‘i Immigrant Justice Center at the Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i, retaining four of its core staff members.
Founded in 1983 as “Na Loio,” HIJC focuses on several important areas of legal service including international human trafficking, family reunification, citizenship, domestic violence/sexual assault, asylum and child protection.
With the help from the Hawai‘i Community Foundation, to assist with the facilitation of this historic partnership, the Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i and the Hawai‘i Immigrant Justice Center unite to broaden the scope of legal services in Hawai‘i for both citizens and immigrants alike. The newly emerged Hawai‘i Immigrant Justice Center at the Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i will continue providing critical immigration legal services and with the services of Legal Aid expand the ability to provide holistic civil legal services to immigrants.
The Hawai‘i Immigrant Justice Center at the Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i will retain its physical office space located in downtown Honolulu and its hotline numbers for inquiries.

New local investment company
Darren Schneck found that following the herds on Wall Street was not always in his client’s best interest, so effective Jan. 1 he opened his own investment company called Capital Asset Management in Lihu‘e.
Schneck, a Certified Financial Planner, manages portfolios for individuals and business owners. He has found that investment techniques that once worked no longer do, especially during recently volatile stock market runs.
With his Capital Asset Management, Schneck plans to employ strategies that he has developed over his 15 years while working for as a portfolio manager for a large multinational brokerage.
He is a proponent of using cost-efficient exchange traded funds so that the portfolios can be adjusted as the market changes. In addition to stocks and bonds, the portfolios can invest in commodities, currencies, hedging strategies and even private managers.
Schneck’s new office is located at 3156 Elua St., Lihu‘e, phone 482-3070.
