Mark “Crazy” Horst was determined to put a hundred miles on his Honda Ruckus at the Special Olympics Kaua‘i Benefit Ride, Sunday. Mark said the ride almost hit the century mark, but it took a trip to Anahola for the odometer to mark 100 miles.
Mel Rapozo got a ride from Tim Lach for the event, but because of his recent hospitalization, could only do a short portion. But that was good for Casey Arashiro who got to ride with Uncle Mel until Puhi and back.
Mahalo and kudos to Jocelyn Barriga’s ‘ohana who stepped up to make sure all the bikers and car enthusiasts got grinds that day, and Roy Asher and Ezra Kanoho were the epitome of teamwork as they guided the convoy through all those intersections. Great job to all!
Who couldn’t watch that second kick in the final 11 seconds of Friday night’s UH game? Becky Malapit said she couldn’t take it and went to work on the computer, and a lot of other people simply put their hands over their eyes and held their breath.
Ralph Suniga has already booked all his flights for the HHSAA games. Congratulations to coach Derek Borrero and his staff on a great victory! Mike Tresler was at the Girl Scout anniversary earlier in the day, and the smile he had on at that time said it all. Kudos to Ross Shimabukuro and the KIF for doing such a good job hosting all the off-island guests. Arthur Brun got to help Kanoa Leahi spot, and how does Larry Price pronounce “Allianic?”
Happy Thanksgiving, Kaua‘i! Stay safe!
