Theft of things is disturbing
Things belonging to me are taken and either sold, traded or given away. I have even had things taken in the past and destroyed simply to make it harder on myself. The only thing it does is create apathy.
This island is only so big and I have a lot of good friends. The emotional attachment drives me to such a rage. I own not one thing I came here with. I’m deprived of seeing my children and grandchildren from lack of self-esteem, steamed from this environment.
I’m asking for this return before it escalates into something major. No questions asked. Just the return of a black shirt with Hawaii flag on front and the Hawaiian chain in upper right-hand side on back.

Regular visitors feeling connected to Kauai
Local newspapers give visitors a feeling for issues that affect Kauai’s residents and there is a sense of connectedness when headlines show happenings such as saving a turtle in a drain or celebrate Hawaiian culture. It gives what is happening in a zany outside world the boot.
The whales arrive around the same time we do and many join in on the count for humpback number accuracy giving visitors a feeling of purpose. We have our old haunts that we must see for strength or victuals and remember our favorite people who ply a trade or volunteer for passion. They may not remember us but we remember them in our most fondest memories.
Whether it be a Norm, Maria or Julia, we are back to see the likes of you all over Kauai on the best garden in the world.

Please support Ipo Kauhane, board
In 1994, Anahola Homesteaders Council was formed and they had a vision for a plan that would provide economic development and services for Hawaiians living on homestead lands. This plan also included a charter school. Thus the birthing of the first charter school on Kauai.
Through the dedication and expertise of its founder Ipo Kauhane, Kanuikapono Charter School (Kanu) has weathered much. Praise God and mahalo to Kamehameha School for Kanu now has a permanent campus here in Anahola.
It thrills me every time I am present at the many functions on campus. I have eight moopuna attending Kanu, one graduated and another now a freshman at Kamehameha School Kapalama Campus.
It saddens me to hear that there is a malicious factious movement to discredit Ipo and her board. If you are a parent, teacher, tutu, student, graduate, or just a supporter please send a response stating your support. There is a meeting set for Thursday at 4333 Kukuihale Road at 6 p.m. For more information call Marie at (808) 639-9290.
Mahalo Nui and much blessings.
