Mahalo for the support
We would like to thank all of you for supporting our efforts to safeguard and assist our visiting friends out in the waters, especially fronting the Waiohai Marriott Resort.
We usually have a high number of incidents in this area annually and the numbers would be much higher if not for your caring gestures and actions.
The Po‘ipu area is well known for its clear waters and sunshine. The snorkeling is very decent in this area and these are only a few reasons for the high visitor count on the South Shore.
We have been assisted consistently by the surfers out at the Waiohai break. Many lives have been saved due to their kind efforts to aid the distress out at this area. However, many rescues have been made out in the ocean, just as many have been assisted on shore by the advice and warnings given to our visitors by these considerate people.
Aloha is caring for others and they exemplify the aloha spirit with their actions of humanity. We’d like to give special thanks to Mike Harismendy, Royden Kabazawa, Kelly Hunt and we are sorry for not mentioning all of the other good Samaritans who continually give us support by sharing knowledge and giving assistance to those in need, but you know who you are.
We encourage and welcome your support and are very grateful for your help. Kaua‘i is a very special place and through these kind gestures, the beauty of Kaua‘i can not only be seen, but more importantly, felt. Much aloha and mahalo to the Waiohai Beachboys from the Po‘ipu Beach lifeguards.

Let’s audit the government
Seal program bailouts, civil unions, global warming, laws upon laws, corrupt government officials, ICE, tent cities, homeless, lawful Hawaiian government, Superferry. As I see it, the world is in a state of moral bankruptcy and my Hawai‘i is not far behind.
No. 1: Bailout money should not go to banks to pay off foreign investors. Instead, there should be a $10,000 one-time return to each taxpayer’s family and singles would receive $5,000 to pay debts off and spur economic growth.
No. 2: Marriage is ordained by God, a family is the strength of a country and needs to stay that way.
Federal dollars going to seal programs should be transferred to the Kaua‘i County Housing Agency for affordable housing and rentals. No one eats seal in Hawai‘i so they don’t need protection.
Global warming: Funny it comes from a million airs with agendas. The problem is too many variables like sun spots, volcanoes, ocean currents and forests. All are based on theories.
Laws upon laws bind the people to serve government when the government is supposed to serve the people.
ICE dealers are the devil’s work killing families and they should be put in jail.
Homelessness and tent cities: It’s a shame when people of Hawai‘i can’t afford to live in their own country. Stop selling land to non-citizens.
Corrupt government officials: Audit government from 1990 to the present to find out where our tax dollars went.
Superferry double standard: Use the bailout money to help former employees of the Superferry. EIS the State of Hawai‘i and have one standard for all.
The lawful Hawaiian Kingdom that was stolen years ago is still stolen in 2009. As a kanaka I can’t believe we are called racist in our own lands by those who try to destroy every native program, school, fishing right and homestead.

Have a cup of tea
New American tea parties are springing up all over the country to be held April 15.
The idea is to protest the ballooning federal budget filled with pork.
If you want to express yourself, meet at the northeast corner of Kaumuali‘i Highway by the shopping center at 5:30 p.m.
Have a cup of tea and bring your own sign.

I would like to thank the Kaua‘i Police Department and specifically police officer Shelly Rodrigues for rescuing my dog Sam Friday morning on Kawaihau Road.
Somehow, my little Bichon Frise escaped from my fenced yard on Hoku Road and ran onto Kawaihau.
By some miracle, Rodrigues was passing by at that very moment and saved Sam from being hit. She stopped traffic and put him in her car to keep him safe.
When I called the police dispatcher about Sam, the woman was incredibly nice and told me that Rodrigues had given Sam to a Humane Society officer who happened to be in the neighborhood on a call for an injured rooster.
The serendipity deepened around the situation when the Humane Society officer told me that she’s never in Kapa‘a and that she spends most of her time on the Westside.
I was then able to meet the Humane Society officer at the Kapa‘a Post Office and pick up my precious Sam, whom I recently rescued from Arizona. I really feel that it was divine providence that put Rodrigues on Kawaihau Road just when Sam needed help.
I feel so much gratitude to the police — and the Kauai Humane Society — for being there when they were needed. Thank you so very much.
