Ross Shimabukuro is up on his Red Raider history. He said the first game with Kwansei High School was back when football was played at Isenberg Park (how many of you remember Larry Ferreira doing the sidelines thing?). So far, Kaua‘i has had the edge for the Japanese Fighters in all their encounters. Did you know Kaua‘i even played in the rain and snow in Japan?
If you didn’t go to the Democratic pau hana event, you missed out on Betty Matsumura singing and Aunty Mary Thronas doing the hula … it was also Cameron’s birthday.
Judge Alfred Laureta was there, and even made it to Kukui Grove for morning coffee, Thursday as well. Mindy and Heidi Hibbitt are still in post-Farm Fair mode, and Dean Nakayama is doing his football picks between bags of shredded coconut … coconut macaroons on special? If it’s not, there’s always blueberry turnovers, or the pepperoni thingie.
Speaking of food, check out the Teriyaki Chicken plate being offered by Tina Albao and her Hope, Help and Healing ‘ohana to help with their transitional home across from Taco Bell … hope they let me know when Ray Carpenter and the Rotary Club of Kapa‘a goes down to help.
Wow, didn’t realize it was this late … time to check in with Jane Garma, Paul Pancho and the rest of the Kaua‘i Pop Warner people for the Jamboree at Hanapepe!
Then, it’s back to Hanapepe when coach Kyle Linoz and his Menehune take on the Canadian Ft. McMurray players…who’s doing the Colt Brennan and UH game?
