Weather upsets BYUH canoe plans to sail

The BYUH Hawaiian Studies program launched its 57-foot traditional twin-hulled sailing canoe, the Iosepa, at Hukilau Beach in Lä'ie on Aug. 6th with plans to conduct a two-week series of sea trials, including its first significant voyage.

Two unusually strong weather fronts, however, caused the Iosepa crew to pull the canoe out of the water on Aug. 11th. and delay their plans to sail to Kualoa and Ka'ena later this week.

Thousands filled Hukilau Beach on Nov. 3, 2001, when Elder M. Russell Ballard of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints dedicated the canoe which is named after his ancestor and former LDS President Joseph F. "Iosepa" Smith, who served several missions in Hawai'i starting in 1854. More recently, the Iosepa underwent several days of initial sea trials this past June.

Since then, William K. "Uncle Bill" Wallace III, director of the BYU Hawai'i Jonathan Näpela Center for Hawaiian Language and Culture Studies, explained that faculty, students, community friends and training partners from the sailing canoe Makali'i, which is berthed in Kawaihae, Hawai'i, have been working to finish outfitting the canoe.

For example, they raised the side boards about six inches and added solar panels on the stern which will power the Iosepa's radio and running lights. They also installed six cots where the crew will eventually sleep in shifts, or more correctly, watches.

When everything was ship-shape on Aug. 5th, Babe Keanu and his house-moving crew from Hau'ula, along with Tommy Adolpho Sr., used heavy fork lifts to move the Iosepa onto a specially fabricated canoe trailer. Keanu then towed the unique load from its home behind BYU-Hawai'i Hale 5 along Kamehameha Hwy. to Hukilau Beach.

The next morning, though only modest sized crowds watched this third and latest launch, it was still thrilling to see the Iosepa slip into the waves washing Hukilau Bay, and then glide toward the buoy anchored about 250 yards offshore.

Earlier, Wallace explained the primary purpose of the latest sea trials was "to focus on the spirituality of the journey. In other words, we will focus on our relation to our ancestors and our kuleana [responsibility] to the ocean and the resources around us. Within that framework, we want to get to thoroughly know Iosepa.

"We're committed to the long-term purposes of Iosepa," he continued. "It's ready. Now we have to get ready."

Wallace said he and a crew of approximately 25 others planned to spend 50-60 hours getting familiar with how the Iosepa handles going into the wind and waves. "For example, how deep do we have to lower our steering paddles? Or is the canoe going to slide?" he asked. "It has a personality of its own out there. This particular sail is to get to know Iosepa really well.

"Our expectations, based on our sea trials in June, are that Iosepa will do very well," he continued. "Captains Clay Bertlemann and Chad Paishon from the Makali'i were very pleased with the way it rode then."

Wallace explained the crew "represents a good cross section of our community," including "Uncle" Ahi Logan from Punalu'u, Thomas Adolpho from PCC, new BYU-Hawai'i student Kealohi Walk who just graduated from €nuenue Hawaiian immersion school and faculty member Mark James, "as well as our experienced student sailors."

Wallace said in addition to familiarizing the crew during the latest sea trials, the BYU-Hawai'i student body officers also underwent leadership training aboard the Iosepa, and a seven-man film crew from the LDS Foundation/BYU Development Office shot documentary video.

"I've never been involved in anything like this before," said Ross Richins, the video crew's producer/director who has 39 years of experience. He explained the video they eventually produce would help the LDS Foundation "explain the objectives and directions BYU-Hawai'i is taking in the future to potential donors."

Wallace, who earlier announced the Iosepa's first significant voyage would probably take it to Moloka'i where he was born and raised, said he more recently planned to sail the canoe on or about Aug. 14th to Kualoa, before the unexpected turn in the weather. Kualoa was a particularly significant place in ancient Hawai'i. From there, the crew would have sailed to Ka'ena at the far northwestern end of O'ahu before returning to Lä'ie.

With the sudden change of plans, Wallace wasn't sure when the canoe would sail, but he said in the future would like to see the Iosepa make an extended voyage each spring. For example, he said Hawaiian Studies professor Kamoa'e Walk has been asked to develop two or three classes "that deal with traditional Hawaiian voyaging and the practical aspects of seamanship. Some of these courses will eventually be taught on the canoe."

Wallace, who only recently decided to serve as the first captain of the Iosepa, said even with the change of plans he was excited about the latest trials. "Everything is a learning experience. Ever since I accepted this responsibility, it's been very different: I get less sleep, and I've started to think of every aspect of the canoe, to help keep it safe and to fulfill its purpose.

"Four or five years ago the thought of me doing what I'm doing now with the canoe never occurred to me," continued the 55-year-old Wallace, noting he has lost 45 pounds as part of his training, which included passing a swimming test of 500 yards and treading water for 45 minutes.

Asked where the Iosepa might someday sail, Wallace replied, "In my mind, there's this feeling — a cultural necessity, really — that we need to sail to all the islands of Hawai'i. Then, maybe in 2005 or 2006, I'd like to take the Iosepa 'home' to Fiji, where the dakua wood came from. After we've spent a week or so in Suva, then maybe we island hop back home, stopping in Tonga, Sþmoa and maybe the Marquesas.

"That's a dream for me," Wallace said, acknowledging his hopes are not official yet. "The journey's just starting."

PCC preps lü'au on Today show

Fifteen Polynesian Cultural Center performers and managers recently traveled to New York City to stage a six-minute home lü'au cooking demonstration that aired live on the July 23rd NBC Today show.

With the PCC promo team performing hula and music in the background, Ali'i Lü'au manager and host Raymond Mokiao showed on-camera personality Al Roker how viewers could make several lü'au dishes at home, including kalua pig, lomilomi salmon, chicken long rice, sweet potato, poi, taro rolls and haupia. Mokiao even got the good-natured Roker to lomi [massage] the salmon at one point.

The Today show and the PCC also featured the recipes for the island dishes online.

"It was very exciting to be on national television, and I was happy that Al Roker was there," Mokiao said. "He was fun and easy to work with, which made it easier for me to relax. He was also very responsive.

"We explained how to make kalua pig and lomi salmon. He seemed to have fun preparing those. We also described the rest of the dishes," Mokiao said.

"I was so pleased with NBC's professionalism. They had us e-mail the recipes to them, along with some pictures. They also had specialists help with the stage props and presentation. For example, they had a specialist who went all over New York City to find the ingredients, and then cook them according to the recipes. They had everything ready for us when we arrived," he continued.

Mokiao, who previously visited New York City as part of a PCC-Hawai'i/ Statue of Liberty contingent in the 1980s, added that the Cultural Center's promo team did a terrific job. "When they were not performing, they were excellent ambassadors on the street and in the subway. They also put on a [LDS program] 'fireside' for 800 people in the Manhattan building where a new temple is being built. The team represented PCC very well."

PCC Director of Marketing Raymond Magalei explained the Center arranged the Today show spot with the help of its Salt Lake City advertising agency, Richter 7.

"We went to New York in January on a media tour, and while we were there we met with one of the associate producers from the Today show. We pitched her with several ideas about the PCC."

Magalei said PCC was eventually asked to do a segment on Hawaiian cooking. "We told them we would bring some hula dancers and drummers. We also took over 200 leis, which we gave to the audience," he continued. "They were screaming and just loved it. It really gave a nice aloha feel."

Magalei added he was "very proud" of the PCC team. "This is one of the higher echelons of PR we can get. Our promo team, and especially Raymond, handled their appearance very well on a live national show with millions of viewers.

"At one point I was wondering if this was real: Watching Al Roker in Rockefeller Square talking with Raymond," Magalei said. "At another point Katie Couric and Matt Lauer came out and tried to do the hula. It was a great ending to a great show."

He added that on the same trip the group also met with other media, and the PCC's fire knife and Tahitian dancers appeared on a July 25th Fox News segment. "On Fifth Avenue they interviewed [PCC promo team manager] Ellen Gay Dela Rosa, who talked about our new Ali'i Lü'au and our 40th anniversary.

Mokiao pointed out that the PCC's Ali'i Lü'au has been very busy this summer. "We've been pretty consistent in selling it out. For example, we had a travel desk familiarization tour in June, where we expected 150, but 300 showed up. Kama'äina especially enjoy it. Many of them haven't seen pipikaula [seasoned beef] at any other lü'au.

"First-time kama'äina have also told me they're very pleasantly surprised with the whole PCC experience," Mokiao added.

Other members on the New York promo tour included dancers Larissa Hekau, Pumehana Ka'awa, Larie Langi and Eleanor Tuitavuki; Milton Kaka and Patrick Yim, musicians; David Kekuaokalani Jr. and Trumaine Oto, fire knife dancers; PCC chef Teresa Ramos; drummers Tuiala Savai'inaea and Nephi Setoki; and David Tiave.

 

Good news and bad for Kahuku High sports

Kahuku High athletic director Joe Whitford recently shared some good news and bad news with Kaleo about the upcoming sports season related to our perennial Hawai'i state education budget woes:

The good news? "We're planning for all coaching lines to be restored," said Whitford, following a meeting he and all fellow ADs met Aug. 4th with State DOE Superintendent Pat Hamamoto at Radford High. He explained that she committed to restoring the 15 positions that had previously been cut in each of the 42 public high schools.

Prior to that, Whitford indicated he had already targeted the "Kahuku coaching positions that were not going to be funded" this school year.

The bad news? "The 20% cut in transportation and equipment and supplies budget will not be restored," lamented Whitford. "We're going to lose that 20%."

He pointed out this loss "will definitely hurt. We usually run about a $6,000 deficit, even before the cut." But despite the budget shortfall, he continued, the ADs collectively committed to make sure all sports — including two new ones — run this school year.

"Bowling and JV softball are a go this year," said Whitford. "In other words, we're basically adding sports with less money.

"Joe Holtzman, who used to teach science at our school and is now in charge of student testing, will be the new bowling coach," Whitford said. "Our two five-person teams hope to practice in the BYU-Hawai'i Aloha Center.

"This will generate a whole new type of athlete," he added, noting the first bowling match will be Sept. 11th at Wai'alae Bowl.

Whitford said it's hard to determine if there will be any long-term effects due to the budget constraints. "Hopefully there won't be any more cuts."

He added the athletic department is also looking at several other cost-saving ideas, such as "setting up car pools" to get the teams to preseason games.

"As a league we're going to try to modify some schedules, which will help reduce the transportation costs; and our new Booster Club will definitely help with our transportation."

In other Kahuku High sports news, Whitford pointed out:

HPD briefs Hau'ula group on 'ice'

The Hau'ula Community Association and the Hau'ula Icebreakers group sponsored a meeting on Aug. 4th where a Honolulu Police Department narcotics detective briefed them on the "five most popular drugs in the islands."

"I'm naive about these things, so I really wanted to learn," said HCA president Ken Furukawa, who kicked off the meeting at the Queen Lili'uokalani Children's Center in Punalu'u. "It's good to see people interested in knowing what's happening around us."

"Getting involved will open your eyes. We have a problem, a big problem, and we need your help," he added. "I want to live in a community where I don't have to worry. It's very important that we get involved, whether it's holding signs, neighborhood watch, or community service."

Hau'ula Icebreaker team captain Dovey Silva then introduced HPD narcotics detective Gordon Gomes, who formerly served as a patrol officer in the Kahuku substation. Gomes started off by telling of a Hau'ula drug dealer who was recently arrested for the 34th time, "with 12 felony convictions — 11 of them for drugs; so you can see our state system is lenient toward offenders."

Gomes, who advocates harsher drug penalties similar to the federal system, next shared a KITV news report that used sophisticated Queen's Medical Center scanning equipment to show people on drugs have "a brain that resembles Swiss cheese where the 'holes' are areas with diminished blood flow."

"Methamphetamine [commonly called ice] causes permanent  damage to the brain that cannot be repaired," the commentator said. "There's no question cocaine decreases blood flow to the brain."

A Queen's doctor also said images of schizophrenic brains "actually looked better than those of ice users. Once somebody is hallucinating for an extended period of time, they generally do not recover."

Similar imaging also showed alcohol abusers suffer diminished blood flow to the brain.

"Most people who use drugs probably don't even realize the damage they're doing to themselves," Gomes said, as he outlined the characteristics of the most commonly used drugs in Hawai'i:

"There are a lot of people out there doing drugs," said Gomes, noting that in Hawai'i about 40% of all those arrested tested positive for ice, and 21% of those arrested for drugs in 2002 were juveniles.

"We're finding, as police officers, that guys [on drugs] are not afraid to run, or shoot back at us. Almost every time an auto thief runs from us, you'll find they're on meth," he added.

"You've got to come out and do something, said Silva, who added the Hau'ula Icebreakers hold anti-drug signs every Monday from 4-6 p.m.

 

'Lä'ie Joe' passes away

Joseph "Lä'ie Joe" DelaRosa passed away on July 21st after a long battle with cancer while visiting relatives in Sämoa with his mother, To'oalo Magalei DelaRosa, and sister, Shirley DelaRosa.

DelaRosa — who loved to "hang out" at Sam's Store, Hukilau Café, Lä'ie Chevron and Lä'ie Shopping Center — was named as an OIA All-Star tackle in 1966 and is believed to be the first Kahuku football player named to the All-State team.

DelaRosa is also survived by his brothers Frank and Fau'ese and his other sister Esther Macy. He was buried at a family plot in Mapusaga Fou, American Sämoa.

Kahuku High Haps: SOARing

By Natalie Kamau'oha ~ Kahuku High Correspondent

Provo, UTAH — For many students and alumni, Kahuku High acts as the foundation for learning, development, and leadership.

By becoming reacquainted with current and former Kahuku students, it becomes evident that the skills and talents developed at the high school level act as essential tools for the future. In addition to these tools, the spirit and memories of Kahuku remains wherever their paths take them.

Summer of Academic Refinement (SOAR) is an annual multicultural program at Brigham Young University geared to helping prospective students prepare for college and increase their ACT scores.

Kahuku graduate Lupe Funaki Piena was an instrumental figure within the program. Piena led and directed participants through her classes on college planning and preparedness, and currently works with the multicultural department at BYU.

Numerous Kahuku High students have participated in the program: Sapi Purcell, an upcoming Kahuku senior, attended SOAR "because it was a good opportunity to experience BYU student life and to be able to meet many multicultural students from all over the nation."

Jennifer  Kamiya, also a senior at Kahuku High, chooses to recommend the "great program" because it "teaches you all about BYU: the campus, the people, the majors, and the careers that come out of those majors. There are also many counselors willing to help you with your grades, test scores, admissions, and spirituality."

Marisha Tafua, an upcoming senior at Kahuku, described SOAR as "a great opportunity to meet other minorities as well as strengthen oneself in all aspects of life."

While touring the BYU campus several recent Kahuku graduates can be spotted. Eric Oba, from the class of 2003, explains he "is currently attending BYU and plans to pursue a career in computer or electronic engineering." Eric remembers Kahuku for "the people, the ethnic diversity of everyone, and most of the time the friendship."

While reminiscing about Hawai'i, Eric commented that he "mainly misses the beach, the feeling, the laid back style, and the pigeon."

Erin Neal, another '03 graduate, said she "plans to attend BYU-Provo for four years, apply to the nursing program and then become a registered nurse.

Erin said she "loved being involved with the awesome student activities both on the planning side, and participation" as student body government officer last year. She mainly "misses the people and the aloha spirit" at Kahuku.

Leadership skills are lifelong abilities that can benefit a person throughout their lives. Emily Shumway Pfeifer, the senior class president, Class of '96, plans to join the Peace Corps along with her husband, Jon Frederick Pfeifer. They plan on venturing into Latin America to increase the quality of health and water sanitation. She describes the U.S. service program as "geared at developing the quality of life in third-world countries."

Emily explained her leadership experience at Kahuku where she motivated "a large group of people with different cultures and learned to bear responsibility" was one of the reasons she was selected for the program.

She currently lives in Lä'ie and gives back to the community by offering "private voice lessons and assisting Esther Macy with the Ko'olauloa Children's Choir." She said she still "misses the sporting events, dances and lunches at Kahuku."

Kahuku High School offers opportunities that will help its students grow and develop their talents. By looking at how former student have prepared themselves for college and beyond during high school, we are reminded to take advantage of the programs Kahuku has to offer. With a new school year approaching, Kahuku again has the potential to grow and nurture the leaders of tomorrow.

Tama Lä'ie cricket team wins 4th mainland title

By Bob & Sylvia Olsen
(former HRI Service Missionaries)

West Valley, UTAH — Ko'olauloa's own Tama Lä'ie cricket team began and finished the annual Utah Sämoan Flag Day cricket tournament unbeaten. The contest was held here the week of July 20th.

Prior to their latest victory in Utah, the team led by PCC's Lavatai Sagapolutele (and including Hawaii Reserves' HRI Iese Taua and Charles Scott) had consecutively won the championship from 2000-03 against the best teams from Hawai'i, California, Utah and Oregon.

On July 21st the Tama Lä'ie men first came up against and put down the Lucky Seven team from L.A., who turned out to be "not so lucky."

In the following three days of play, the Lä'ie team prevailed against Salt Lake City's Pioneer Boyz, Seattle's Bad Doggie and Utah's Alo Sämoa teams.

On July 25th the Salt Lake Boys team fell to Tama Lä'ie, clinching the championship for the Ko'olauloa men.  The lst place trophy was presented on Saturday, July 26th, at a daylong celebration which included the ceremonial raising of U.S. and both Sämoan flags by Eagle Scouts from local Sämoan LDS wards.

An all-Sämoan marching band also performed, while the Sauniatu and Mapusaga LDS Wards presented traditional dances. In accordance to cultural protocol, a talking chief began each performance, which featured as many as 100 dancers.

Vaiola LDS ward displayed great talent and creativity with an elaborately staged and costumed theatrical play; and the Lumana'i o Sþmoa children's group also performed traditional dances.

VIP's from Sämoa and American Sþmoa, together with those from Utah and other mainland Sämoan organizations attended, with a kava ceremony held in their honor. Miss Utah-Sämoa and her attendants were presented.

Thousands of Polynesians attended each day and evening of the event, which included a rugby tournament with both Sämoan and Tongan entries. A professional Maori singing group from New Zealand, food tents and Polynesian clothing and decor shops all added to the weeklong festivities.

The Utah-Lä'ie connection was evident as each day some local spectators wore Kahuku Red Raiders shirts and caps sent to them by family in Ko'olauloa.

The entire event was announced in Sämoan, with a few English exceptions.

Kahuku High '93 graduate  Mariana Limutau Filo said, "We look forward to the Heritage week that takes place every year during the month of July at Kearns Park, Utah. It gives my children an opportunity to learn about their culture."

Filo, the daughter of Pesamino and Sia Limutau, added, "My father dedicates most of his time to the Sämoan people and is associated with the Sämoan Community Council of Utah.  Both of my parents are faithful supporters of the Sämoan community in Utah.

"They reside in St. George, Utah, but take the time each weekend to drive four or five hours just to emcee the cricket games in West Valley."

Filo, who attended Snow College in Ephraim, Utah, after graduating from Kahuku, is now married to Falani Filo, who has played in the Salt Lake City cricket league since 1994. The couple has three children, with another on the way.

 

North Shore girls do well in California volleyball

Two North Shore Volleyball Club teams, under the direction of head coach Mona Ah Hoy, placed high in a Davis, California, tournament in early July:

Ah Hoy said the 14-and-under team placed 21st out of 231 teams, and the 16-and-over girls took 31st among 331 teams.

"I'm really happy with the results," said Ah Hoy, who explained the mainland teams were comprised of top players from different schools while all of the North Shore girls attend Kahuku. "A lot of people were really amazed at our performance," she added.

Ah Hoy noted that Rose Vea, Alayna Galea'i and Camilla Ah Hoy were named to the Hawai'i All-Star team. Rose and Camilla also competed in a Utah tournament this summer, while Alayna attended a volleyball camp in San Francisco.

Ah Hoy, who is also head coach for the Kahuku High varsity girls volleyball team, noted the Red Raiders have already started to practice, "and we have a lot of returnees and JV girls who bring a lot of quickness.

She added she's expecting "big things" from senior starters Mona Ale, Chazel Fiso and Musie Olevao.

Ah Hoy also hopes to take the varsity team to a Las Vegas invitational tournament in March 2004, "but we need sponsors."
