HAWAII KAI, OAHU (HawaiiNewsNow)- Hawaii Kai will celebrate Independence Day 2013 without a firework show.

The Maunalua Communities Foundation (MCF) on Thursday announced, " Unfortunately this year's event will not feature fireworks because as of April 30 MCF has not received enough sponsor funding to afford the pyrotechnic display which represents 60 percent of the budget."

"We have explored all the alternatives to shooting the fireworks from a barge in the bay (most expensive option)," explained Dianne Glei, 2013 event chair. "However, we could not find a suitable land site and even when the fireworks company worked to provide us with a reduced-cost option, it was still too expensive based on our funding projections.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow)- Detectives have determined that the female who reported finding a baby at Sandy Beach on Sunday night is the baby's mother, a Honolulu Police Spokesperson tells Hawaii News Now.

One day after the story of a newborn girl being found unclothed and unharmed on the east Oahu shore made national headlines, police said 21-year-old Keala K. Simeona, who brought the baby to the hospital, is actually her mother.

The Makiki resident was arrested at HPD's main station for allegedly filing a false police report and released after posting $250 bail. Additional charges are not being pursued at this time, according to police.

Original reports from officials stated that the baby was discovered near the water sometime after 11 p.m. Sunday after a woman reported hearing her crying.

EAST HONOLULU, OAHU (HawaiiNewsNow)- Detectives are searching for the person who abandoned a newborn overnight Sunday at Sandy Beach Park.

Officials with the Department of Human Services say the baby girl was not injured, but is under observation at the Queen's Medical Center.

"I think first and foremost, we're happy to report that the female infant is doing quite well. She's drinking formula, weighs approximately 8 pounds," said Patricia McManaman, the Director of the Department of Human Services.

McManaman says the baby girl appears to have been born a week or two early and was delivered within the last 24 hours.

The infant was reportedly discovered unclothed at Sandy Beach by a 21-year-old woman who heard a baby's cries coming from the shoreline and found the infant alone in the sand.
