Mayor says West Maui to reopen to tourism on Nov. 1 after fire_我的网站

古墓丽影

一 | HONOLULU -- All of West Maui except for burned-out sections of historic Lahaina will reopen to tourism on Nov. 1 following the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than century, the mayor of Maui County said Monday. Mayor Richard Bissen said he made the move after talking about it with his Lahaina advisory team, the Red Cross and other partners.West Maui has about 11,000 hotel rooms, or about half of Maui's total. Travelers evacuated those hotels after the Aug. 8 fire raged through Lahaina town, killing at least 99 people and destroying more than 2,000 buildings. Hawaii Gov. Josh Green last month declared West Maui would officially reopen to tourism on Oct. 8 to bring back badly needed jobs and help the economy recover. Bissen modified the governor’s declaration with a phased plan, allowing a small section on the northern edge of West Maui to open first with the rest to follow at an undetermined date. The community has had an impassioned debate about when to welcome travelers back to the disaster-stricken region. Some residents drafted a petition opposing the return of tourists, saying the community wasn't ready. Bissen said Monday that workers are ready to return to their jobs while acknowledging “this isn’t for everyone.”Those who aren’t prepared to go back to work on Nov. 1 should talk to their employers and “continue to seek the help and attention that they need,” Bissen said at a news conference in Lahaina that was livestreamed online.The mayor said many residents are also concerned about not having child care. He said the county’s partners are working on that issue. Residents who have been staying in West Maui hotels and other short-term accommodations after losing their homes in the fire won't lose their lodging, the mayor said.“We’re assured by the Red Cross that their housing will not be in jeopardy,” Bissen said. The mayor said the reopening schedule was voluntary and said some properties have already reopened on their own.。 8月20日，记者从石家庄市区出发，沿玉泉路向西，转省道，再拐入一条彩虹色的乡间小路，约莫一个小时车程，便到了井陉县秀林镇南秀林村。路的尽头，一座由老石头房子改造的咖啡馆映入眼帘。这是一家扎根太行山乡土里的“村咖”。开一小时车，就为喝一杯咖啡？放在几年前，这或许令人费解。但如今，这样的“村咖”正成为越来越多都市人的心头好。

二 | 驱车百里到“村咖”，喝的究竟是什么？走进院子，答案渐渐清晰。矮墙外不远处便是甘陶河，河水潺潺，远山如黛。两只小猫跑到脚边撒娇打滚，店主刘国辉递来一杯咖啡：“埃塞俄比亚的冠军豆，浅烘，品一品，有花果香气。”这位不仅会做咖啡还会种地的“村咖”主理人，最近晒得有点黑，自嘲“咖啡人”。

三 | 吧台里，咖啡师李奕锋正在熟练地为其他客人冲煮咖啡。她是南秀林村人，每天从家到店步行上班用不了5分钟。怎么形容这杯咖啡的滋味呢？一半豆香，一半山水。坐在近300年历史的老石头院里，眼前是波光粼粼的甘陶河，云从山头慢慢飘过，时间仿佛被调慢了。从山西来旅游的游客李伟端着咖啡杯感慨：“在城里喝咖啡是提神，在这儿喝是放空。一杯咖啡坐一下午，看山发呆，啥都不用想。”这种松弛感，正是“村咖”的核心竞争力——在乡土间，咖啡成了连接人与土地、城市与乡村的媒介。“村咖”只是开始。

四 | 近年来，随着南秀林村青壮年外流，46套老石头院子年久失修、破败闲置。刘国辉盘下这些院子，以咖啡馆为首个项目，让沉寂的村庄重新有了人气。“村咖”东邻50亩土地上，刘国辉亲手种下的向日葵正在酝酿花事。再过一个月，这里将变成一片金黄的花海，游客们循着花期而来，拍照打卡、漫步放空，乡间小路上必定热闹非凡。不搞大拆大建，让废弃宅院变身休闲艺术空间，给闲置田地“种”上风景，这是盘活农村闲置资源的生动样本。

五 | 按照规划，46套老石头房子，27家用来引进扎染、酒吧、制陶、书咖、特色餐厅等多元业态商户，19家特色民宿也将运营开放。“村集体、村民、商户三方得利。隔壁岩画馆已经营业，酒吧准备装修。”刘国辉希望来到南秀林村的人，不只是路过，而是沉浸式走进太行山慢生活里，住下来，做几天“新村民”。“村咖”就像一扇窗，让人们看见乡村的另一面——不只有山水，还有文化、有温度、有新的生活方式。老石头房子正在苏醒，向日葵静待绽放。
