Enriques Wants Stimulus Money for Shelter-Gym
County Council member Guy Enriques flew to Washington, D.C. in March
with his campaign to build a shelter that
would also serve as a multi-purpose gym
in Pāhala. Enriques said he is hoping for
$18 to $20 million in “stimulus” funding
for the building that could also include a
certified kitchen to serve the shelter and
community activities.
He said he is working to get the plan
“shovel ready” to qualify it for stimulus
money from the federal government. He
said the shelter-gym would not only serve
the community when it is completed, but
its construction could help Kaʻū with
employment during these difficult times.
The gym would be designed as a certified Civil Defense shelter for vog events
Two college students and one Kaʻū
High School student will vie for the title
of Miss Kaʻū Coffee on Friday, April 24.
The first ever Miss Kaʻū Coffee beauty
pageant will be held at Kaʻū High School
Gym in Pāhala at 6 p.m.
The contest will consist of swimsuit,
evening gown, talent, and interview competition. Tickets to view the pageant are
being sold by contestants for $7 for adults
and $3.50 for those 11 and under.
Miss Kaʻū Coffee will receive a $1000
scholarship for her education. The second
and third place finishers will also receive
scholarships. All contestants will receive
a tiara along with gifts from sponsors.
The youngest contestant is Joyce
Ibasan, 15, a Kaʻū High freshman who
lives in Pāhala. She is the daughter of Jocelyn Tamayo and Orlando Ibasan. Born
in Dagupan City in the Philippines, she
has spent most of her life in Kaʻū. She
lists basketball, volleyball, and music as
her hobbies. She recently competed in

Miss Kaʻū Coffee contestants (l-r) Joyce Ibasan, Jolynn Cuison and Sacha Malepe will
compete for the title on opening night of the first-ever Kaʻū Coffee Festival. The pageant
will be held Friday, April 24 at Kaʻū High School Gym in Pāhala. The Kaʻū Coffee Festival Hoòlaulea will be held Saturday, April 25 at Pāhala Community Center with entertainment, a Kaʻū Coffee Recipe Contest, games for kids, food crafts for sale, and displays
on coffee, and community organizations. Farm Tours will provide the opportunity to visit
the coffee fields and learn more about the growing of Kaʻū Coffee. The Kaʻū Coffee College will be held for farmers, processors and roasters on Sunday, April 26. See pg. 8.

More Kaʻū Coffees Go to Alan Wong
Famous Hawaiian chef and restaurant owner
Alan Wong took an interest in two more Kaʻū
Coffees at a coffee cupping session sponsored by
Kaʻū Farm & Ranch and the Kaʻū Coffee Festival
on March 7 at Pāhala Plantation House.
After tasting numerous Kaʻū Coffees, Wong
asked to receive coffee from Bull and Jamie Kailiawa and also from Kehau’s Coffee Farm, operated by the Efren Abelerra family. Wong is already
purchasing Kaʻū Coffee from Rusty’s Hawaiian,

Wong Ka‘u Coffee, pg. 8
Darlene Vierra and Liz Kulukaimaka have a
new mission, locating historic photos, maps, stories and items associated with the founding of the
Kaʻū Coffee industry.
During 2008, the Year of the Paniolo, the two
were very successful in bringing together paniolo
families of Kaʻū, creating a display on ranching
life, which they take on the road from Kahuku to
Pāhala.
Ka‘u Coffee History, pg. 8
Calling for Kaʻū Coffee Photos & Stories
as well as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods
and other disasters. On his trip to Washington, D.C. Enriques took along a satellite photo showing Hurricane Flossie
sitting offshore at South Point in 2007
when forecasters predicted a direct and
very destructive hit on Kaʻū. Fortunately, Flossie fizzled out as she spun around
just south of the island.
Enriques said he met with Sen. Daniel Inouye who told him of a deep connection with Kaʻū, the senator saying he
gave his first high school commencement
address at Pāhala.
Inouye joked that half the Pāhala
graduating class was in the band so they
had to run back and forth from playing
music to their seats to listen to him. Inouye supports the shelter-gym for Kaʻū,
Enriques said. Enriques said his meetings
with Sen. Dan Akaka and Rep. Mazie Hirono also drew support for building the
shelter-gym.
The County Council and Mayor Billy
Kenoi are also supportive and State Sen.
Russell Kokubun and Rep. Bob Herkes
have it high on their Capital Improvement Project funding list, Enriques said.
According to the council member,
the gym would help bring Kaʻū athletics
into the 21st century, with more than one
playing court so that students could have

Pele Hanoa at Punalu‘u
The television premiere of the awardwinning film The Punaluʻu Experience
will air on PBS Hawaiʻi on Thursday,
April 23 at 8:30 p.m., with an encore presentation at 11 p.m. Produced by Kaʻū
Preservation and made possible by a grant
from the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation: Pikake Fund, the film will be presented as part of the ongoing series PBS
Hawaiʻi Presents, which showcases independent documentaries and special event
programming about Hawaiʻi by Hawaiʻi
producers.
On March 8, the film received the
Silver Lei Award for Excellence in Filmmaking at the 2009 Honolulu International Film Festival. “The film demonstrated
superior and standout filmmaking and is
Hawai‘i Community College Hawaiian Lifestyles program will offer a fourcredit course entitled Ehukai o Punaluʻu
2009 Summerbridge in Kaʻū from June
12 to 19. The eight-day class will focus
on the myths and legends of Hawaiʻi, with
specific interest to Kaʻū’s stories, and be
held at Punaluʻu from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
each day with one overnight trip to Puna.
To qualify, potential participants must attend an initial orientation on Thursday,
April 23 at 5 p.m. at Nāʻālehu Community Center.
Kaʻū residents of any age may apply, but the class will be limited to 20
students. Eligible students who can show
either Hawaiian ancestry or multi-gener-
ational residency in Kaʻū will have their
tuition waived. Students must register for
both the three-credit Hawaiian studies
course Hawaiian Myths and Legends and
the one-credit Hawaiian Arts and Crafts
course to engage in the Summerbridge
program. Ten spots are open to graduating
high school seniors or students who will
be seniors next school year to help them
get a head start with college credits. The
myths and legends class can be applied to
the humanities requirement for a general
education degree. The class is intended
for Kaʻū people, but if the class does not
fill, registration will be opened up to other
potential students.
Leialoha Kaleimamahu, an instructor
with HCC’s Hawaiian Lifestyles Lawaiʻa
(fisherman) program, is from Puna but she
says she has ties and ʻohana that married
into Kaʻū families. “I’m very humbled
and excited to be in Kaʻū, It’s so different
from Puna,” she said, adding that she also
lived in Pāhala for a time during her youth
and attended school there. As an adult,
she spent a lot of time at Punaluʻu helping
with Kukulu Kumuhana, an educational
youth program held each summer.
Kaleimamahu chose to have the class
at Punaluʻu to get outside of the idea of a
four-walled classroom and into a relaxed
atmosphere. She said the comprehensive
class is something “you won’t experience
in a regular math or English class.” During the class, students will also learn
a hula, make a kīhei and lei.
All of the Hawaiian Lifestyles
program instructors are practitioners, Kaleimamahu pointed out. “We
don’t just come out of an academic
world that gives us the palapala (paper) to teach. We have roots in our
areas. Our curriculum is very deep
and broad,” she said.
Students will also be required
deserving of one of our most esteemed
awards. The film was among the very best
of the several hundreds of films submitted
from over 30 countries around the world,”
said Jenner Costello, festival manager.
The DVD of the film is available to
the public through Kaʻū Preservation, a
non-profit 501c3 organization working

Purpose of the Steering Committee
Kaʻū CDP Project Manager Ron
Whitmore reiterated that the steering
committee’s job is not to write the plan,
but to represent Kaʻū’s stakeholders “to
make sure the CDP truly reflects what
they value in Ka‘ū and what they’d like
to see in the future.” He said he hopes that
people will take advantage of these sessions to get to know the Steering Committee members and help the members get to
know the people in the community.

community participation for community
development plans with over 1200 peo-
ple, or 14 percent of the population, sharing their vision and values for the future
of Kaʻū. The previous record for number
of people participation was held by the
Puna district, which gathered input from
1200 people, of a population of 43,000.
North Kohala previously held a record 12
percent of their population participating
in the visioning phase of their CDP.

Roof Replaced after ʻDust Devil’ Rampage
The roof that was blown off classrooms and offices at Kaʻū High School on
Saturday, February 28 has been replaced.
The freak winds, which some people described as a dust devil or twister, tore off
an 80 by 24 foot opening of the building’s
roof leaving three classrooms and some
offices exposed and scattered debris up to
100-feet away, said Bob Taylor, owner of
Taylor Built Construction Co., Inc.
Kaʻū High senior Shawn Asistin said
at the time of the storm, he was at his
house located at the other end of town,
near the football field when he heard what
sounded like a loud crash.
Within a couple hours, Taylor Built
Construction Co., Inc. had mobilized men
and equipment to begin clean up of the
area. By evening the crew had tarped off
the roof, secured the building, and barricaded the area for public safety.
Taylor Built brought over a large Cat-

Blues Singer Landgraff & Full Tilt in OV April 11
A special music concert and dance,
featuring Blues musician Bob Landgraff
and local band Full Tilt, is being planned
for Saturday, April 11 at the Ocean View
Community Center from 6 to 10 p.m. Entry fee is $10. Food and beverages will be
available for purchase. Proceeds will go towards improving the acoustics of the community center.
Landgraff, who lives in Long Beach,
CA, is a lead vocalist and plays harmonica
for his band Good Rockin’ Daddy. Among
its many gigs, the band has played for the
New York Marathon’s opening and closing ceremonies for the last eight years.
Landgraff also plays with bands in New
York City, Austin, Texas, Los Angeles and
Hawaiʻi.
Landgraff, who has traveled the world
playing his music, says he likes to play
with a variety of bands and musicians.
“Each time it’s like cooking with new ingredients,” he said. Landgraff describes his
music as “Blues for today.
It's older music from the 40s
and 50s, but it's also a living
art form. I write new music
in the same vein.” In addition to his original music, he
also plays Blues and Swing
standards.
After attending a concert
given by Blues Bar-BQ, a
band Landgraff fronted for,
Craig Hammons, of Live
Magazine, wrote, “Vocalist and bluesman on harp
the harp is the mighty Bob
Landgraff, who kept the set
roaring like a runaway train.
Bob comes straight from the
south side of Chicago and
blows a mean lickin’ stick.”
Ocean View’s Larry Blues Player Bob Landgraff (above) and the band Full
Cassidy, a longtime singer Tilt will play Ocean View Community Center, Saturday,
and guitarist, will also play at April 11.

more practice time for sports. He said
some elementary school students on the
island “have never even seen the inside
of a gym.”
The current gym on the school campus would continue to be used to help
bring back adult league sports and other
community activities. The location of the
shelter-gym would be in the area around
the current tennis courts and parking lots
at Kaʻū High School.
Other gyms being planned for the island include a $22 million gym for Hilo
and a $15 million gym for Pahoa, En-
riques said.
Enriques' trip to Washington, D.C.
was also to attend the National Association of Counties nationwide meeting.
Kahuku Shelter Gym & Senior Center
Enriques also reported on progress
for a $6 million building at the Kahuku
County Park in Ocean View. A design
produced by the Ocean View Community
Association for a new Ocean View Community Center is the plan being considered by the county Department of Parks
and Recreation. The location, however,
would be on the county property at Kahuku County Park and the facility would
be used as a shelter, gym and senior center. Enriques said the Kahuku facility
could become a prototype for sheltergym-community centers in other small
communities around the island.
Transient Tax Threat
Enriques traveled to Honolulu in late
March to lobby the state Senate Ways and
Means Committee to continue to provide
each county with their fair share of taxes
received from transient accommodations. Hawaiʻi county currently
receives some $18 million from
the state transient accommodations
fund each year, but a bill before the
the April concert.
Full Tilt features Al Barre, of
Waiʻōhinu, on drums; Dave Lawrence, of
Ocean View, singing vocals and guitar and
Phil Fennern, of Ocean View, on bass and
vocals. The group plays a variety of dance
music from the 60s to the present.
Approximately 70 people showed
at the Ocean View Community Center to
rock the night away with Full Tilt during
the Ocean View Community Association's
Valentine’s Dance in February.
Barre said he hopes to get other local
musicians to come out and play with his
group in the future, possibly even doing a
concert and dance every first Saturday of
the month. He invites interested musicians
to contact him at albarre1@gmail.com.

about the concert, contact the OVCA at

state legislature would divert that money
to state coffers.
Enriques said he understands that the
state is in a financial bind with billions
of dollars in shortfall to meet its budget.
If the state takes the transient accommodations tax money, however, Hawaiʻi
County would have a $50 million deficit
and “we would see severe cutbacks and
layoffs,” Enriques predicted.

You don’t have to build from scratch to have a greener home. These
quick and easy home fixes will shrink your consumption and your
monthly bills.
RATE IT. Look for Energy Star-rated products. This government
program helps people make energy-efficient choices, which can lead
to savings of up to a third of energy costs.
SWITCH THE LIGHTS. Compact fluorescent light bulbs use up to 75
percent less energy than traditional bulbs and last years longer.
Replace them in highly used fixtures such as porch lights, bathroom
vanities and office lamps. Better yet, replace all your bulbs with CFLs!
GO WITH THE FLOW. Use low-flow showerheads and consider
installing low-flow toilets to reduce water usage and save on waterheating costs.
PLUG IN, TURN OFF. Use a power strip for your home office or home
entertainment center. Even in standby mode, consumer electronics —
which account for 15 percent of household electricity — use a little
juice, so turn the power strip off when you can.
COOL IT. Turn the water temperature for your washing machine or
dishwasher down to 120º F to cut water-heating energy consumption.

April, 2009
Kaʻū Youth Take Two Championships at Haili
Two Kaʻū volleyball teams are champions of the 2009 international Haili Volleyball Tournament. The second largest
sporting event and oldest and most esteemed volleyball tournament on the island was held in Hilo in March. It drew
teams from across the state, nation and
planet.
Winning Kaʻū teams were from the
Southside Jr. Volleyball Club and brought
home the boys 12 and under and 14 and
under titles. Each team player medaled
and earned a trophy. Sixth-grader Kaweni
Ibarra garnered the most improved trophy
for boys ages 12 and under and eighthgrader Jemy-Ray Plancia won the same
trophy for boys 14 and under.
From the 12 and under boys team,
special recognition goes to Kai Enriques
and Brian Gascon for setting a tremendous match in the three-game thriller, said
Head Coach Guy Enriques. “Avery and
Addison Enriques provided the offense
and passing while nine-year-old, firstyear player Kameron Moses was steady
throughout the entire tournament.”
The 14 and under boys dominated
their division with outstanding offensive
play by Evan Enriques, said Coach Enriques. “Awesome supporting roles were
played by Larry Navarro, Donald Garo,
and Emmett Enriques. Donald Garo and
Franklin Orcino were also key contributors in the team offense.”
The club, consisting of all Kaʻū boys
and girls ranging in age from nine to 14
years old, started practicing in January
two to three times a week at the Pāhala
and Nāʻālehu gyms. The hard work paid
off with the boys 12 and under and 14 and
under teams dominating the majority of
the tournaments leading up to Haili.

It takes 2,500 pairs of shoes to make
a new playground surface, whereas a new
track could use as many as 75,000 pairs,
says the Nike Reuse-A-Shoe web site.
Since 1990, the program has collected
over 22 million shoes.
“We’re hoping for resounding success,” said County Recycling Coordinator
Linda Peters. She said that they hoped to
expand the program in the future to include a contest which would allow schools
to compete for most shoes collected and
receive donations of athletic equipment in
return.

The Kaʻū Calendar
Kaʻū High debuted its first water polo
team in the history of the school this year
with nine ladies. Playing against seasoned
giants such as HPA, Kamehameha, Kealakehe and Hilo, Kaʻū is the only small
school on the island to put out a girls water polo team, thus far.
Waterpolo follows the addition of
softball to the roster of Kaʻū teams this
year, as an effort to provide girls an equal
opportunity to participate in high school
athletics, said Assistant Athletic Director
www.kaucalendar.com
Sam AhYee. Softball and water polo are
intended to help balance out traditionally
male sports like football and baseball.
Team members are freshmen
Meghann Chow and Radhika Dockstader; sophomores Brandy Borst, Alina
Davis, Brittaney Morehead, Serena Park
and Anjulie Larson; and seniors Chandi
Dockstader, also team captain, and Jana

JV Softball Morphs into Varsity Team
Although the Kaʻū Trojan JV softball team went with
out a win, the girls worked extremely hard to learn the fundamentals of the game and kept their spirits up, said Head

Kaʻū has debuted a softball team.
Team members were Sanisha Llanes, Jadelynn Domondon, Jaenise Cuison, Shavonna Panglao, Ashley Olivera,
Amery Silva, Cheyenne Compton, Jamie Pasion, Brooke
Medeiros-Shibuya, Kiki Pascubilio and Erika Kahele. Assistant Coach was Donald Garo and statician was Toni Beck.

Miyashiro Places Sixth in Hilo Marathon
Kaʻū High P.E. teacher Angie Miyashiro took sixth
place overall and first in her age group at the 11th Big Island
International Marathon in March. Miyashiro, of Volcano,
was the front-runner until she got caught in the rain between
mile 15 and 20. “It chilled me, and I tightened up,” she said.
Miyashiro expressed frustration over missing the win she
trained so hard for, but looks forward to next yearʻs race.

Kaʻū on Track: Edwards #1 in Hurdles, Pocock Hits Top 20 in State
Jacob Edwards, a Kaʻū High junior, is
leading the way as the state’s number one
hurdler in the 110-meter and 300-meter
Hurdles, so far this season. Edwards, who
placed second at the 2008 State Championships in both events, has a best time
of 15.26 seconds in the 110 hurdles and
40.2 seconds in the 300 hurdles this year.
Statewide Edwards is also ranked third
in the triple jump, 15th in the 200-meter
Dash and 20th in the Long Jump.
In the Big Island Interscholastic Federation, Edwards is also third in the 100meter Dash.
Teammate Amber Pocock, also a junior, reached the state’s top twenty list.
In the last track meet in March, Pocock
was ranked 17th statewide in the 100-meter Hurdles with a time of 17.9 seconds,
and at a previous meet earned a rank of
14th in the 300-meter Hurdles with a time
of 52.54 seconds. Pocock is also ranked
third on the island in the 100-meter Dash
(13.43s).
Also off to a good start this year, is
Junior Alisha Gangwes who is ranked
tenth on the island in the 100-meter Hurdles (19.91s).
Senior Jennie-Lynn Haʻalilio, new to
the team this year, is already ranked tenth
in the shotput (25’6”) on the Big Island.
Among female underclassmen BIIF
runners, sophomore Brittaney Moorehead is fifth in the 100-meter Hurdles,
and classmate Keo-Pisey Kheng is ranked
seventh. Moorehead also placed tenth in

Water Polo, cont. from pg. 11
stepped up to coach the Kaʻū players, all
of whom are new to the sport. Staskawicz
is a former swim coach and had a daughter who played water polo.
In their very first game against Hilo
High, the Trojans were able to pull off
scoring four goals in the second half
thanks to teammates Davis and Radhika
Dockstader. Davis scored two goals and
Dockstader also scored two and racked up
three takeaways. Final score was in Hilo’s
favor: 18-4.
The Trojans had just enough for a full
team – seven players - against Hilo’s 24member team. In water polo, players are
not allowed to touch the edge or lane lines
throughout quarter which lasts for seven
minutes. Between each quarter, players
have two minutes for breaks and just five
minutes for half-time. Even though the
Vikings played a passing game, they continued to send in fresh players throughout
the game and did not use any of their timeouts, said Staskawicz. With no substitutes,
Coach Staskawicz used her timeouts strategically to allow her players a brief respite during the game.
Staskawicz said the girls played
amazingly well considering the odds.
“They played with a lot of heart, and I’m
very proud of them.” She said there were
a lot of fans cheering for Kaʻū and after
the game the officials congratulated the
team on their performance.
Staskawicz noted the dedication of
Moorehead, who ran for the Trojan track
team that morning and came out to play
water polo in the afternoon.
In their next game against defending champions Kamehameha, the Trojans
were forced to forfeit because they were
unable to field a full team. However, Staskawicz and the remaining players still
went out to scrimmage with the Warriors.
“The girls are great athletes and
work well together,” said Staskawicz. She
explained that water polo is a very active and physical game, requiring lots of
stamina. She noted that although this is a
new sport to the players, all of the girls are
very strong in the water.
The girls have a long day after practice, with some traveling all the way to
Ocean View to get home. “I am especially
proud of them as people and as studentathletes,” said Staskawicz.
Leading up to the season, the Trojans
played in a tournament at the end of February. Staskawicz said the rest of the water
polo community has been very supportive
of the new team, even lending the Trojans
needed equipment. Staskawicz hopes to
raise money in the future to buy the girls
team shirts and/or warm up suits.

Junior Trojans Track Brings Home Medals
Junior Trojans track team, Kaʻū students ages 14 and under, competed against
athletes across the island bringing home
medals for their effort. Eighth-grader Kristina Padrigo won the gold in the 100-meter dash, while fellow eighth-grader Kaila
Olson won the silver in both the running
long jump and the 200-meter dash. The
two teamed up with eighth-graders Tawanaka “Puki” Kaupu and Leah Cariaga to
place second in the 4x100-meter relay
race. Freshman Kaleb Thomas received a
bronze in the 1500-meter race.
“Our Junior Trojans did great, and we
hope to be able to get it going even better
next year,” said Coach Angie Miyashiro.
After almost five months without an
athletic trainer, the Kaʻū High Athletic
Department welcomed Brett Laronde, formerly of Oʻahu, as the new athletic trainer
in March. Laronde previously worked for
the City and County of Honolulu Emergency Medical Services and was a parttime athletic trainer at Kamehameha
Schools Kapālama campus.
Kaʻū High Athletic Director Keith
Murioka said he was very happy to have
Laronde on board. After previous athletic
trainer Chelsea Benton left to take on the
athletic director position at Konawaena,
staff members such as Assistant A.D. Sam
AhYee have been doing their best to fill
the void, he said.
Laronde has been a certified trainer
for the past ten years, but started his athletic training career while he was still a
student at Xaverian Brother High School
in Westwood, MA. He hopes to start a
similar program for students at Kaʻū interested in athletic training.
Also an approved clinical instructor,
Laronde has a program in the works that
will bring graduate students from U.H.
Mānoa to Kaʻū to do their internships.
Since most of the graduate students eventually enter the Department of Education
to work, this could be very beneficial to
Kaʻū when looking for new staff.
Laronde, who plans to put down
roots in Kaʻū, said he chose to come to
Kaʻū because of the students. When he
visited the Kaʻū
campus, he said
he only planned to
stay an hour, but
ended up spending the whole day
walking around
and talking to the
students. Principal Sharon Beck Brett Laronde
took Laronde on a tour of the town, even
showing him places to live.
“Everyone from the students, principal, coaches, staff to the custodians have
been so friendly. I feel very welcome
here,” he said.
Among the many challeges of working in a small school with a small budget,
Laronde is also looking for a team physician. The team physician is usually an
orthopedic doctor, of which there are very
few on the island, he said.
Laronde is also the Continuing Education Chair for the Hawaiʻi Athletic Trainer
Association. The association is currently
working on getting athletic training licensure for the state of Hawaiʻi. This will
help to protect student-athletes from unlicensed trainers taking athletic training
positions.
Laronde also said that it was great to
be working with Murioka, who helped
Hawaiʻi to be the first state to pass legislation that mandated each school to have an
athletic trainer on staff.

Ka‘ū Buddhists become Treasures of Hongwanji
Representatives from Nāʻālehu and
Pāhala Hongwanjis took their spirit to
Hilo for this island’s first Treasures of
Hongwanji at the Honpa Hongwanji
Hilo Betsuin’s Sangha Hall on Saturday,
Feb. 28. The Rev. Earl Ikeda, of Puna,
Pāhala and Nāʻālehu Hongwanjis, served
as Event Chairperson. It was the Buddhist congregations’ way of reaching out
to the community by sharing what makes
them unique. It created awareness in
Hawaiʻi’s diverse ethnic community, said
Alice Yonemitsu, Nāʻālehu Hongwanji
member.
Hongwanjis from around the island
participated with demonstrations, displays and selling crafts, plants, food and
vegetables. Ikeda demonstrated the art
of vegetable carving, while the Nāʻālehu
Hongwanji demonstrated kampyo (dried
gourd strips) making and sold kampyo
created by Robert Yanagawa. Sumi-e
painting note cards painted by Ikeda’s
students Marla McCasland, Connie Stanton, Masako Sakata and Leslie Cardone
were sold, as were miniature floral green
arrangements donated by McCasland of
Hawaiian Flowers.
Hongwanji members thanked all who
helped with the event and those supported
the event with their purchases.
Masako Sakata, also a member of
Nāʻālehu Hongwanji, said the event “created not only a sense of accomplishment,
Na'alehu Hongwanji members Nancy
Yanagawa, Janice Takaki, Sumiye Takaki,
Alice Yonemitsu and Lenore Shirakawa.
Hongwanji members Jim Anderson and
Marla McCasland shared miniature floral
arrangements. Photos by Iwao Yonemitsu
but an abundance of warm friendships.”
Representing Nāʻālehu Hongwanji
were Jim Anderson and McCasland, Le-
nore Shirakawa, Nancy Yanagawa, Sumiye and Janice Takaki, Su Yamada, and
Iwao and Alice Yonemitsu.

Velez Leads Kick Butts Rallies for Boys & Girls Club
Eighth-grader Ricki Velez, of the
Ocean View Boys & Girls Club, led
two successful Kick Butts Day rallies at
Nāʻālehu School, reaching over 500 students from Kindergarten to seventh grade
with an anti-tobacco message in March.
Velez and fellow Boys & Girls club youth
leaders, eighth-grader Tawanaka Kaupu
and senior John Pimental, along with club
site coordinator Nikki Rapoza, gave a presentation on the dangers of smoking and
other tobacco products geared to attract
youth.
On Feb. 27, Velez represented her
Boys & Girls Club at a Kick Butts Day
training, a campaign for tobacco-free
kids, on Oʻahu which taught her about
other tobacco products that look and taste
like candy. These new products such as
Camel menthol strips, which melt in your
mouth, tobacco gum and flavored cigars
are intended to appeal to youth. Pimental
was one of the speakers who talked to the
group about how to refuse tobacco and
withstand peer pressure.
The group of students marched down
to the State Capitol cheering their antitobacco message. Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona
came out to meet the group and proclaimed

that February 27 as Kick Butts Day, said
Velez. The students then broke up into
groups and met with individual legislators
to ask them to raise taxes on tobacco products, with Velez meeting with Rep. Bob
Herkes. Velez said she was nervous, but
that the training paid off when Herkes said
he agreed with their plight.

Kahaluʻu Surf Day, a day of therapeutic surfing for individuals with disabilities, will take place on Wednesday,
April 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Kahaluʻu
Beach Park. Full Life Hawaiʻi founder
Deann Canuteson, of Ocean View, is coordinating the event which will include
an appearance by Mayor Billy Kenoi and
a luncheon. Also sponsoring the event is
Hawaiʻi Lifeguard Surf Instructors and
Halona’s Ocean Tours.
To register or to donate to the event,
call 322-9333 or email deann@fulllifehawaii.org.The event is being given in memory of Hawaiʻi Lifeguard Surf Instructors’
employee Richard “Ricky” Green III, who
passed away just shy of his 20th birthday.
Kick Butts Day rallies, surpassing their
club goal of reaching 100 students. In addition to the presentation, the rally included fun and educational activities, such
as a balloon popping race. Popping the
balloons represented your lungs bursting
when you smoke cigarettes, she said. Students also were given tiny coffee straws,
told to bite one end and try to breathe
through it, symbolizing how long-term
smoking can make it hard to breath.
The club also organized a sign-waving, asking cars to honk if they wanted
a tobacco-free Hawaiʻi. “Over 100 cars
honked,” reported Rachel Velez, club staff
member and also Ricki’s mom.
Regarding the training, Velez said
“I’m happy to learn what kind of tobacco
products are out there, what to watch out
for and how to say no.” Velez also won
the Tobacco-Free Big Island art contest
this past summer.
Mom Rachel said she was really surprised and proud Ricki, who is normally
quiet and reserved, for speaking in front
of crowds of people.
“I am so proud of our youth leaders,
they planned this event from beginning to
end,” said Rapoza.
Velez thanked the Kahuku Country
Market, which donated the airfare for her
to attend the event.
The Hawaiʻi County Departments
of Fire, Research and Development and
the Civil Defense Agency are sponsoring
Community Emergency Response Team
training this month. The classes teach
emergency response procedures and individual roles and functions in the event of
a major disaster.
During the early stages
following a major disaster,
neighborhoods may be on
their own. Without proper
training, people can expose
themselves to potential injury and even death as they
try to help others. Basic
training in emergency response and rescue skills
improves the ability of citizens to survive until first
responders or other assistance arrives.
The training takes place on Saturdays, April 4, 11, 18 and 25 from 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. at Discovery Harbour Assembly
Hall, 94-1604 Makalii Street. To register,
call Stacie Iwasaki at 961-8501 or email

Ka ʻOhana teaches Volcano Students about Honuʻapo
Ka ʻOhana O Honuʻapo hosted fourthand fifth-graders from Volcano School of
the Arts & Sciences at Honuʻapo for an
environmental education and community service fieldtrip in March. Students
of Devorah Kaplan and Star Mullins, as
well as teacher aides and parent volunteers participated in the event coordinated
by Megan Lamson, a Partnership for Reform through Investigative Math & Science fellow. Lamson is also a Ka ʻOhana
O Honuʻapo board member.
Thomas King, also a Ka ʻOhana
board member, kicked off the day sharing an original song about Honuʻapo.
County Parks staff member Angie Avenue
and crew led students in service projects,
including painting picnic tables and moving rocks out of the way to help park staff
mow the area adjacent to the park’s coconut grove.
Lamson and Anna Fasoli, a Hawaiʻi
Wildlife Foundation intern, helped conduct an environmental education workshop which included discussions about
the connection between mauka and
makai, the importance of the watershed,
especially near an estuary or muliwai like
the one at Honuʻapo. The workshop also
incorporated several hands-on water quality explorations with the keiki.
After lunch, Lehua Lopez-Mau, Executive Director of Ka ʻOhana O Honuʻapo,
taught the children the meanings of the
place names of Honuʻapo, Nāʻālehu,
Waiʻōhinu, a short history about of the
area, and the Pupu Hinu Hinu chant by
Auntie Nona Beamer.
Later in the day, students spent half
an hour scouring the beach for marine and
land-based debris. They collected over 14
grocery bags filled with glass, plastic, and

When
gusting winds whipped flames across
Hiʻonamoa Gulch and threatened several coffee farms in the Pear Tree area of
Makaka, Marques made a stand, clearing
firebreaks next to the coffee trees, creating access for firefighters and beating
back the blaze with the blade of his Case
450 dozer at the edge of the gulch. Andrade, with his CAT D8K, worked past
dawn, cutting firebreaks to prevent the
spread of the fire to the north and east.
Andrade and Marques “are not
firefighters, per se. They are local heroes
who answered the call to fight the in-
ferno with their bulldozers in the dark of
night,” said Chris Manfredi of Kaʻū Farm
& Ranch, which owns land in the area.
Manfredi also

windbreak next to us erupted into a wall
of fire,” recalled Manfredi. “It’s a good
thing Francis Marques arrived with his
dozer.”
With no lights on Marques’ dozer, Manfredi used his own truck to light
the way, shining headlights on the lay of
the land as he drove alongside Marques.
“Without Marques, the coffee
farms certainly would have sustained significant damage,” Manfredi said. “Thanks
to Francis and the firefighters, the fire was
contained and the coffee farms saved.
These farms contribute to the livelihood
of several local families. It would be a
horrible shame to see them damaged.

When the fire ignited, some access
roads were blocked by debris, delaying
access to the blaze and allowing it time to
spread. “Had we been able to get quicker access to the fire,” said Ebert, “we
would have been able to better mitigate
the damage. The bulldozers and operators are often critical to accessing remote
fires as they were in this case.” He stated
that maintenance of fire roads is very important to help the firefighters do their

Volcano Workshop Focuses on Designing With Nature
Why do most people have front and
back yards? Where did the idea of lawns
come from? Do these approaches make
sense in Hawai‘i? These are questions Malia
Messick will address in a landscape design
workshop at Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani
campus in Volcano Village on Saturday,
April 11 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Learn how to make yards look different from typical island scenes—with their
familiar large-leaved vines, bright heliconias and gingers, and manicured lawns—
and instead draw inspiration from the contours within and surrounding your space.
This workshop examines commonly held
ideas about landscaping and explores new
approaches to design that bring about a real
“sense of place.” Discover practical ways
to care for the land that create attractive,
low maintenance gardens in any island setting or climate.
Besides envisioning a design plan, tour

Volcanoes Park Holds Open Houses, Calls for Input to Plan Future
Kaʻū and Volcano residents, along
with other members of the public, are are
invited to help create a vision for the future of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park.
The park is seeking public input in the
development of a new General Management Plan that will guide it for the next
20 years.
The plan will answer, “What kind
of place do we want this park to be?” It
will serve as a guidebook for the future
to help managers make decisions about
how to best protect natural and cultural
resources, what levels and types of uses
are appropriate, what facilities should be
developed, and how people should access
the park.
It has been more than 30 years since
the park’s previous master plan was completed. Since that time, the park has experienced increased visitation, advances in
knowledge about ecological and cultural
resources, and numerous volcanic erup-

Junior Ranger Day: New Book
Highlights National Parks
On Saturday, April 25, Hawai‘i Volcanoes will join the national celebration
of Junior Ranger Day with the release of
the Hawai‘i Island National Parks Junior
Ranger Adventure Book. The event will
be held from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on the
grass lawn near the Volcano Art Center
Gallery.
Park Superintendent Cindy Orlando
will unveil the first Junior Ranger book
that highlights all five national park units
on the island of Hawai‘i—Hawai‘i Volcanoes, Pu‘uhonua o Honaunau, KalokoHonokohau, Pu‘ukohola Heiau, and Ala
Kahakai. “The book encourages children
to become Junior Park Rangers by exploring, learning, and joining in fun outdoor
activities with their family at the five park
sites,” said Park ranger Mardie Lane.
The public is invited to join the celebration and meet the winning artists whose
work is featured in the new book. There
will be refreshments, music, activities for
children under 7 years old and free copies

celebration with a 7- to 12-year-old child
will receive a coupon redeemable for a
free Tri-Park Annual Pass, valued at $25.
As a special tribute, Kenneth Makuakane, a Na Hoku Hanohano Awardwinning songwriter and recording artist,
will debut his new mele, Huaka‘i Hele.
“Makuakane wrote this mele in honor of
all Junior Rangers whose dedication to
resource protection offers hope for the future of our island’s parks,” Lane said.

Stars over Kaʻū April 2009
by Lew Cook
On the 15th of April, Venus is a morning star, and very bright. Not so bright
is Mars, near Venus in the morning sky.
One and a half times the diameter from
Mars, to its west, you can find Uranus if
you have good binoculars or a telescope.
Their closest approach is on the morning
of the 15th.
Jupiter is higher in the sky in the
morning, but doesn’t rise until around
2:45 a.m. Look for Saturn high in the sky
-- it is not as bright as it can be. The reason for Saturn’s dimness is that the rings
are nearly edge-on as we see them. This
happens whenever spring or fall occurs
on Saturn. Yes, the other planets have seasons too! The apparent brightness of the
planet and its rings varies by more than a
factor of four due to the changing aspect
of the rings.
Saturn’s seasons last much longer than
Earth’s seasons. Since a Saturnian year is
over 29.5 Earth years, the seasons are 29
times as long as Earth’s. We can imagine
that the shadows cast on the planet’s cloud
tops make the job of a Saturnian climatologist even more difficult! The Voyager
2 spacecraft photographed strange radial
spokes in the rings. Volcanologist Steve
O’Meara, who has lived in Volcano, re-
ported he observed them many years prior,
but because they were glimpsed only by
him with his sharp eyes, and no one else
had the ability to spot them, his accounts
were disregarded. Turns out he was right

The stars rotate about the pole star;
use the pointers in the end of the Big Dipper to find the pole star, Polaris. In the
south, if you have a clear horizon, the
Southern Cross is making its appearance.
It doesn’t stay visible very long -- there
are only six hours each night that the bottom star is visible above the horizon. In
the west, Orion’s Big Dog (Canis Major)
is rapidly chasing the rabbit (Lepus) to the
horizon.
