Dr. Nemo Observations ~ Aka ~ Mary Van Auken A few new varieties of plants have been added to the pond for shade for the koi. We are using a whiskey barrel cut in half for a planter. One pot is planted with Elephant Ear and the other has Black Taro. Interesting, the Elephant Ear plant leaves point up to the sky and the Taro plants point to the ground. The barrels protect the plants from the koi uprooting them, munching on the roots, and digging in the soil to make suitable areas to drop eggs. Whiskey Barrel in place, notice a few curious Kois checking it out. Mary Planting the Taro plants Steve Cano and Mary preparing a barrel.. The pond always provides a wonderful spot to enjoy the beauty of our home here on Maui. You can listen to the waterfall, feel the trade winds, listen to wind in the trees, watch and hear the bird life, watch the fish cruising through the water or getting a massage in the bubblers, enjoy the children helping to feed the koi in the early evening, and watch the changes as the sun sets and lights illuminate the water. The waterfall has been down for several weeks due to a broken pump. A replacement pump that offers the best energy use is being investigated. 4

Floyd Van Auken The video camera surveillance project is now complete and operational by our Security team. Recently, the Board approved Floyd Van Auken and David Hummel s request to upgrade the current video surveillance software program for enhanced capability, as well as, providing for a more user friendly environment. The new capabilities include the following: Patrol Mode whereby Security can preset a number of locations and dwell on that location before automatically moving to the next preset location, Advance video content analytics which offers motion detection, signal loss, camera occlusion, foreign objects, and missing objects actionable recorded events, One-way and two-way people and traffic counting activity history, and Intelligent video playback search which will reduce the amount of time viewing recorded videos. Each of the 3 cameras is set to record 24 hrs a day. The South Gate entrance site has excellent camera views of the property as shown in the photos below. The north view in 1x and 10x mode shows the property along South Kihei road. From the east in 1x mode, the camera can view the road behind building 10 where cars are either parked or entering/leaving the property.
