Is Gary Shimabukuro related to Jake Shimabukuro? Following his drug presentation, Gary joined Jonah Cummings on stage for some entertainment on the ukulele.
Speaking of which, Kapa‘a basketball coach John Kaneholani said he would probably miss the bus since his Hanalei School group was still getting ready to take the stage.
In the meantime, Gary will be back Wednesday for a “Got Drugs?” presentation at the convention hall starting at 5:30 p.m. He said Det. Mark Middleton of the Martin County Sheriff’s Department, and Thomas Janette and Scott Duva of the Connecticut Narcotic Enforcement Officers Association will be joining him for that presentation which is co-sponsored by the county’s Anti-Drug Program.
Yes, Theresa Koki was at the family summit, too, but this year, there was no Bev Pang to monitor the kiddies at the outdoor activities area.
Congratulations to Bridget Arume, Francesco Garripoli and all the organizers on another successful event Saturday!
Lt. Gov. James “Duke” Aiona got to try his hand at decorating cookies that were available at the Hale ‘Ohana (there is an okina) ‘o Kapa‘a table, and Caroline Troutman even got him to sign one of the REAL group’s anti-tobacco legislation cards.
Valerie Saiki of that group was on hand at Friday’s Kapa‘a High School Career Day and had some of those cards available there as well. She said the group will be bringing about five students to the state Legislature next month to lobby for anti-tobacco legislation.
