William Kaneakua saw the smoke from the Niumalu fire Friday and was off to the races … looks like the Wal-Mart crew will have more to talk about than Grandma Sole Fernandez’s fish. Wanda Shibata was wrapping up stuff at the Young Brothers office and called, but the view from the bulk sugar area was much better.
Therese Jasper said she saw the whole thing from her balcony and was one of the first 9-1-1 callers. She’s asking people to be more careful because a few days earlier, she called in another fire close to the Puakea Golf Course .. .definitely good advice considering how dry things are.

Michael Tresler broke away from football practice to check on the status of the blaze.
OK, ‘nuff said … it’s off to the Koloa Plantation Days parade before they shut down the road! Gotta go check out the Joe Grace roast pork … actually, what is on the menu for the Kamehameha School people?
And, if you’re still on your feet, check out Liz Agosto Kawamura and Michelle Lizama as Kaua‘i hosts the 2007 Miss Hawai‘i Filipina pageant tonight at the Kaua‘i War Memorial Convention Hall. Good luck to our own Maggi Celebrado (you can be sure Don and Phyllis will be in the audience).
