Congratulations to Emma Makepa-Foley for making the cut for the University of Hawai‘i soccer team. Mom Missy has been nervous since Emma left a few weeks ago, but called when she found out the good news. More kudos … this

More kudos … this time to George Mukai for getting top honors for that humongous taro as well as being top point man in the fruit and veggie division.
Thanks to Marina and Zack Octavio for getting the final score for the Waimea/Hilo game … nothing like having your kids on the Big Island for live updates.
Of course, the entire Wal-Mart meeting gang was at the fair between the orchid sales and bonsai club, and Catherine Stovall was pleased with the efforts of the CERT crew … Bill Troutman (even had a chance to chat with Caroline on Friday) had a bagful of shirts to change into between shifts here and there.
Ron Wiley and Mark Valentine were having a blast with the winner of the Genki Sushi contest Saturday, and congratulations to Meadow Gold Healthy Baby Contest winner Zyani Dotimas-Yadao of ‘Ele‘ele who was checking out the seashell castle at the Kaua‘i Children’s Discovery Museum booth.
Harold Naumu had a chance to check out the games and Dick Holtzman had senatorial privileges Saturday night.
Hats off to Edee Bandman, Janet Kahalekomo, Penny Anakalea, Rosie Bukoski and all those involved in kicking off the Aloha Festivals with a great investiture ceremony… Mayor Bryan Baptiste made the event despite a late Friday night at the fair.
