Lä'ie Elementary has started the school year with the announcement that the majority of last year's 3rd and 5th graders met or exceeded Hawai'i state standards in both reading and math, which means the school is continuing in good standing.
"This is a definite accomplishment," said principal Deborah Voorhies, who is in her fourth year, in reference to the school's annual yearly progress (AYP). "Our children are learning very well, and we're very proud of them."
She explained while overall the school met the goals, "We are still providing small group instruction and tutoring for some individual students, and we're also working with BYU-Hawai'i School of Education students for target tutoring.
"The 21st Century Learning Center will also again be offering free tutoring after school. More information is available in the school office," she added.
Parking, drop-off changes

School officials are asking parents and visitors to be more aware of changes in parking and drop-off procedures.
"Our biggest change this year is opening the school with a parking system change after the Hale La'a Blvd. renovation," Voorhies continued.
"This year the only people who are allowed to park on campus are parents of Head Start children: They have to enter the Hale La'a Blvd. parking area, park their cars there, take their children to Head Start, and then leave.
"Everyone else must use the drop-off areas along Hale La'a Blvd. and Iosepa Streets," Voorhies said, but stressing that parents cannot park in those drop-off zones.
"The police are ticketing cars, and will continue to ticket cars found in the drop-off areas between the hours of 7:30-2:30. For example, there are two vehicles back there that have been tagged, and they will be removed."
"To visit the campus, parents have to park in the administration lot, or in the new parking lot on Hale La'a Blvd. behind the bus stop. Hawai'i Reserves, Inc. has allowed us to use that during regular school hours. So, there is enough parking."
Voorhies said the first few days of school "haven't been too bad. We've tried to tell everyone, and I've been circling the campus every morning. Traffic has also really improved in the morning on Iosepa Street, especially with the help of our crossing guard, Cherry Goo."
Voorhies said Goo works at the mid-Iosepa Street crosswalk, but that there's no crossing guard or JPO officers at the busy intersection of Hale La'a and Iosepa St. "We need to train the kids to walk down to the cross walk where Cherry is," but asked affected parents to reinforce these instructions.
"We are requesting that the Honolulu Police Department restore our second crossing guard," she continued. "That position was removed after 9-11, because they needed all the positions for Homeland Security."
Voorhies also stressed that visitors to campus must sign in at the office and get a visitors pass. "There are so many parents on campus, that we have to control security," she said.

Maeda |
Maeda, who is originally from Hilo, graduated from Kamehameha and the University of Hawai'i, moving to Lä'ie in 1975. She started in the school library in 1991.
"Every day is a new challenge, but I enjoy working not only with the faculty and students," she said. "I also enjoy interacting with the parents and the community. It's very different from being in the library."
As part of Hau'ula Elementary's new governance, management, and leadership restructuring this school year, Complex Area Superintendent Lea Albert provides direct and intense oversight and leads every detail of work that goes into the planning, supervising and training to establish a school environment where students learn and thrive.
Donna Lindsey, Albert's representative in the design of the restructuring plan, has an office at the school where she works with Hau'ula Principal Brad Odagiri, the school and community in a collaborative effort that must result in quality student support and high student achievement.
After completing 173 issues comprising almost 2 million words about all kinds of things and people in Lä'ie, Hau'ula and Kahuku over the past 10 years, Kaleo o Ko'olauloa is planning to publish its last issue in December 2005.
"Since we started this in 1996, the number of alternative media in our area — especially on the internet — has grown explosively," said Mike Foley, editor of every issue except the very first one, on which he served as an advisor.
"Now, many of the institutions and programs we regularly cover have their own newsletters and more importantly, online communications. Almost all of the elementary schools in Ko'olauloa, for example, have their own web sites, and Kahuku High has several. Depending on staffing, some of these publish news, results and pictures almost as soon as an event is pau, whereas for the past four years we've been a small monthly tabloid.
"There was hardly any effective internet media in and for our area when Hawai'i Reserves, Inc. (HRI) started Kaleo as a community service. We didn't go online ourselves until 1999," Foley said, noting that in addition to the public school sites, some Ko'olauloa communities have their own online web sites, "while the Polynesian Cultural Center and BYU-Hawai'i maintain beautifully designed sites with rich content that's updated frequently — in some cases daily."
"We realize not everyone uses the internet or even has access to it, but the numbers are growing, all the little kids know how to use it, and that's the inevitable wave of the future," said Foley.
"We've had a great run, and I have loved working with the community in which I've lived for almost 40 years now. It's been especially thrilling to see the success and growth of our young people, and the changes that so many hard working people have effected."
Foley expressed gratitude to HRI for the opportunity to work with Kaleo. "Everyone who has enjoyed reading Kaleo over these years owes a big mahalo to HRI, which has been the primary sponsor of every single issue. Former HRI president Dan Ditto started the paper and convinced me to work on it, and current HRI President & CEO R. Eric Beaver continued that support.
"BYU-Hawaii and the Polynesian Cultural Center have also been our consistent co-sponsors and advertisers for every issue, and I thank them as well."
"I also want to recognize and give a big mahalo to our chief photographer, Barry Markowitz of Hau'ula, whose professional photographs have added so much to our pages over the years. His willingness to chase down those images at all hours and sometimes under trying conditions reflect his own love of the community, and definitely go way beyond the modest few dollars he made in the effort.
"There have also been several others who contributed regularly over the years to the paper, including HRI staff, LDS service missionaries and more recently a series of bright young Kahuku High correspondents," Foley continued.
"Finally, I want to thank you — our readers and my neighbors. Quite a few of you have told me how much you enjoy Kaleo and that you read every word."
"HRI is proud of the community's response to Kaleo over the past decade," said Beaver. "We want to thank Mike [Foley] and all those who helped put it together in such an interesting and high-quality manner. I don't think 10 years ago we ever envisioned how good it would be.
"In the future HRI will publish an occasional newsletter that details some of our initiatives. In the meantime, we invite you to go to our newly redesigned web site, www.hawaiireserves.com."
Foley said he wasn't sure after December what he would do with the time he has been spending to gather news and produce both the hard-copy and online editions of Kaleo. "I'm not ready to retire yet, but I'm starting to think about it, and the end of this year seems like the right time to move on to a few other projects I want to accomplish."
On Sept. 6th Hawai'i Reserves, Inc. (HRI) launched its revised web site, www.hawaiireserves.com. "The site has been improved for greater ease of use and includes a number of photos of Lä'ie, both historic and modern. We hope you enjoy it," a company spokesman said.
Four men from Lä'ie, each with impressive sports credentials, recently acquired the O'ahu and state franchise from DigitalSports, the number one-ranked interactive, online network for youth and high school sports in the United States.
The O'ahu site can be seen by going to www.sportscombine.com; once there, click on the Oahu link and you can see the overall homepage for the OIA with links to all other OIA schools. Kahuku High is being used as the model for local coverage before the group expands throughout the state.
The four — Ken Wagner, Athletic Director and head coach of the BYU-Hawai'i men's basketball team; Junior Ah You, retired professional football player and Lä'ie Community Association director; Junior's son, Kingsley Ah You, school-based behavioral health manager for Kahuku Complex; and Brandyn Akana, Wagner's assistant coach — have formed HI50 (pronounced "high 5-oh") with Wagner and Junior Ah You working on developing sponsors and advertisers, while Akana and Kingsley Ah You are working on school relations.
The younger Ah You explained HI50 has already posted extensive Kahuku coverage, including photos and video clips, that will in time include all 49 Red Raider sports, as well as the sports of all OIA schools. HI50 is also in discussions with the Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH). "We are also working with Chuki Dean, a recent BYU-Hawai'i graduate, to run the Maui site under our supervision," he said.

Initial response has been very strong. The Kahuku site (go directly to www.sportscombine.com/kahuku) had over 14,000 page views in its first two weeks online, and according to DigitalSports Vice President Rich Toland, is "by far the most active high school site in our system at the moment. O'ahu, and Kahuku specifically, seem to be a perfect fit for our vision, which is to bring local communities together using grass-roots programs and cutting edge technology. Our goals are to improve the quality of life — through shared high school and youth sports experiences — in Kahuku and the entire state of Hawai'i. The members of HI50 are the perfect people for this mission because they understand the importance of community and they truly have a passion for helping others. The results have already been outstanding and we look forward to continual great news from O'ahu."
Ah You explained HI50 wants to take the new venture well beyond the web site by involving students, faculty, coaches and the community "through mutually beneficial programs. We bring the framework to the school, and empower individual coaches and others to take responsibility for the site. In Kahuku's case, for example, we're working with Matt Anderson, the tech teacher; Pauline Sawai, who teaches digital media; and Lori Tanaka, who does the yearbook, newspaper and covers all the athletic events.
"The teachers are excited about training the students in the technology," Ah You said. "We're starting with sports, but eventually we'll also include other activities, such as band or History Day. This then becomes a good way to not only highlight all the student athletes, but also students in the photography class, the newswriting class, and so on.
"We also did a presentation for the Ko'olauloa Educational Alliance Corporation board members (KEAC and Kahuku.org) and we'll definitely have a link with them; and we're working with others in our area," he said.
Ah You explained the web site will also be used to accumulate team and individual sports statistics online. "By the time our freshmen are seniors, they will actually have a four-year record of their high school career online. Each team and school will also have the capability of archiving previous year's coverage; thus developing a resume for the student athlete to obtain scholarships."
He added that the technology is offered to the schools for free, while the costs are paid for by sponsors and advertisers. Marlene's Realty, run by former Hau'ula resident Marlene Lindsey, is the first sponsor. "She's indicated if she makes a sale from the web site, she'll donate a percentage to a Kahuku High scholarship fund. She has a great love for Kahuku."
"All communities have business people who want to help their local schools and athletes. Historically, throughout the country there has not been an easy way to do this," said Toland. "The DigitalSports Interactive Network, including the O'ahu site, allows for businesses of all sizes to get involved through sponsorship and scholarship opportunities. It's very exciting for the community because the businesses really do receive valuable business exposure while making a real difference in the lives of young people in their community. It's a win-win situation."
Ah You said the four founders have also committed to $5,500 in scholarships for Oahu students, which includes Kahuku, this year: "We're going to offer a $1,000 scholarship for three designated athletes in fall, winter and spring sports, with the remaining $2,500 scholarship going to a HI50 athlete of the year," he said, noting the company is still in the process of developing criteria for the awards.
"The concept is really exciting," he added. "There are also many fundraising capabilities. For example, very shortly A.D. Joe Whitford will head the "e-ticker" program in which student athletes will be asking for people to purchase email subscriptions so they will receive notices on breaking news."
Ah You invited community members who might want to contribute stories, photos or to become a proud sponsors to email him at hi50sports@hotmail.com, or call 808-292-1780.

Donnette Keka'uoha shares pictures
of her and friend Erna Alapa (left) in the 1950s, and a 1955 Kahuku High graduation photo with her, her grandfather Moke Hiram, and aunt Thelma Kamae. — folifoto |
Donnette Machado Ah Puck Kekau'oha — one of the original students at the Church College of Hawai'i in 1955 who several generations of school children at Lä'ie Elementary will remember as their teacher — moved to Lä'ie at the start of World War II to live with her grandparents, the late Moke and Susan Hiram.
"We felt the community was the safest place to live. Our doors were all unlocked, and people were very loving and giving. Whenever you went into their homes, they always invited you to eat. That was the first thing they did," she recalled.
"My grandfather was a farmer, so we worked in our watermelon field, but the biggest thing for us was to go swimming in Beauty Hole. Everybody learned to swim there. Also where Larry Au lives [on Loala Street] was the old social hall and theater. We used to have concerts and dances there.
"What I really liked when I was little, once a year when they had elections they had a political rally here and we met everyone who was running for office. There was big entertainment and lots of food to eat. We looked forward to those things," she continued.
Asked about going to Kahuku High, where she graduated in 1955, Kekau'oha said the school was "really small. In my senior class we had only 55 students. Some of the ones still around here are Cecelia Adolpho Fong, Gordon Tashiro, my aunt Thelma Hiram Kamae, Elizabeth Hubbel Haiola and Ramona Dela Cruz whose father was one of the butchers for Kahuku Plantation.
"We had a football team, but they didn't do very well during our year. After I graduated they did very, very well. We also had a good baseball team. All of our dances were held in Kahuku gym. We never went anywhere special, like the kids do today. Everybody was poor, and hardly anybody had cars. My grandfather drove us five girls to school and picked us up every day.
"Before I graduated from high school, I heard them talking about them having a college here," said Kekau'oha, who remembers going to the February 12, 1955, ceremony when LDS Church President David O. McKay broke ground for the Church College of Hawai'i. "We all went to the groundbreaking together. My girlfriend, Erna Alapa, said, 'I can't see the prophet,' so I put her on my shoulder. You can see her and my friend, Edna 'Anae, in the pictures, but you can't see me.
"One day my grandmother said, 'I want you girls to go to college.' At that time it was $99 for the year. We thought, wow, that's so much money, but my grandfather paid for Thelma [Kamae] and I to go. Lots of the other families didn't have the $99, so a lot of the boys joined the military and went away instead.
"Where they put they put the temporary campus [on the corner of Naniloa Loop and Lanihuli Street, where the Lä'ie North Stake Center stands] was my grandfather's corn field. Two weeks before harvest, President [Edward L.] Clissold came to my grandfather's house and told him the buildings [they had moved in] were there. We had to go tell everybody to raid our field so the buildings could come in."
Kekau'oha remembered when CCH classes started, "I was scared. I thought I was not smart enough to go to college, and my grandma was going to be so sad. My grandma always wanted to be a schoolteacher, and she kept encouraging us. When we came home, she would ask us what kind of homework we had, and she would help us with our lessons. She was the one who really encouraged Thelma and I to continue with our education.
"When we first began, because we were all new, the teachers were really helpful and encouraged us. They would take us on the side, if we needed help, and talk to us or call us into their offices and counsel us. The college was so small, and we all wanted it to be successful, so that was one of the things they would do to encourage us.
"Most of our dances were held at Kakela [now called Kokololio Beach Park], and everybody went to Goo's store. That was one of the hangouts.
"When we had our devotionals, the whole community came. My grandma came to every devotional we had. That was one of the neatest things to me; and when we graduated, we had our dance in the old social hall. There were no walls, so you could look out and see the stars.
"I graduated in '57 with an associate's degree in education [at that time CCH was only a two-year college]. Then my grandma sent me back to school again and told me to take business courses," Kekau'oha continued, noting that after one semester the late Joseph "Sonny" Ah Puck — who was from Honoka'a, but moved to Lä'ie to live with his sister, the late Lanihau Broad, and attend Kahuku High — "proposed to me, and we got married in March 1958. We moved to Michigan, because he was in the military. While I was there, my grandma told me they were going to have a four-year college, 'so when you come back, you go back to school.'
"One day I received a letter from my grandma telling me that one of my friends who had started at Church College with me, Miriam Hanohano — Joseph Whitford's mother — had dropped out of school when her husband, a policeman, was killed. Right then and there I decided I needed to have an education so I would be able to take care of my own children in case anything happened to my husband."
Kekau'oha said she returned to Lä'ie in '61 and enrolled again at CCH. "I did my student teaching with Viola Kawahigashi. She taught me everything I should know about reading, even more so than college. She was really an inspiring teacher and gave me a love for teaching. She instilled in me how important it was to have an understanding of the children and to know that every child has the right to learn," Kekau'oha said, recalling Kawahigashi also told her to make sure the children had fun.
Kekau'oha graduated in '63 with a degree in elementary education and started teaching that year at Lä'ie under principal Clinton Kanahele. Over the next 32 years she taught from grades K-4, and retired in 1996.
"I really enjoyed my teaching career, so much so that after I retired and moved to San Antonio for three years with my second husband [Randolph Kekau'oha, who is also from Lä'ie], I volunteered for three years.
"For example, I enjoyed putting on our May Day programs. We're so blessed with talented children. They liked to perform, and I always set my goals high for them.
"When Randolph and I got married and moved to San Antonio, I thought that was where I was going to live out the rest of our lives. Three years later he told me he wanted to go home and be with his family. I told him we could go and visit, but he said no: I want to go home and be a Hawaiian. I'm tired of being a Mexican."
Kekau'oha, in the meantime, had transferred the family home on Iosepa Street to her daughter, Josephine Ah Puck, so the couple built a new house behind the old one, and Donnette said, "We're glad to be back."
Her other three children — Barbara Jean Kahawai'i, Sonny Ah Puck and Robert Ah Puck, as well as 24 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren — all live in Ko'olauloa. Randolph also has three children and five grandchildren.
Kekau'oha now spends her time working on a special service project that will be the subject of a future Kaleo story, helps take care of her grandchildren, and "I just put in to become a substitute teacher," she said.

By Morgan Wright ~ Kahuku High Correspondent
No matter where I am, from Pearl City or far off points such as Salt Lake City Utah, people immediately notice my Kahuku sweatshirt. They associate Kahuku High with an outstanding athletics program. Although our athletes are great on the field, they are also constantly scoring points in the classroom.
Being a successful student athlete takes more than just having natural ability or raw talent. Student athletes must be determined, dedicated, focused, and goal oriented.
Senior Camilla Ah Hoy, for example, plays varsity basketball as well as varsity volleyball and has a grade point average (GPA) of more than 3.6. She is also involved in Student Body Government serving as secretary.
When asked how she finds time for all of her activities, she said, "It's really hard to do everything I want to do...but the key is time management. My day starts off with LDS Seminary; from there I go to school. After school I go to straight to practice, then after practice I do half of my homework while waiting for my parents to be done coaching the JV team. From there I go home to shower and eat, and then I do the rest of my homework. Then all of it starts again the next day."
Another one of Kahuku's dedicated student athletes, Micah Wiley, described a similar busy lifestyle: "When I get home from practice, I'm really tired, because practice doesn't end until 7 p.m. Then I shower and eat and then I start my homework."
Junior Shannon Ching plays water polo, golf, runs cross-country and is on the swim team. She also is involved as a student body officer, tutors young children and is a member of the National Honor Society. When asked if it was difficult juggling all these activities and keeping a 4.0 GPA, Shannon said, "No, it is not hard, just time consuming."
Okesene Ale Jr., a senior, carries a GPA of 3.4. He also enjoys a hectic schedule of academics as well as varsity volleyball and basketball. "Time management is hard for me. I have too many things to do at once...I'm usually up until 1 or 2 a.m. doing homework," he said. "Sports are good. They keep you active."
As if he needed more activity to go with his involvement in Cheer Fest, Song Fest, Junior is co-founding his own business called "The Student Teach-Student Learn Program."
What is Kahuku's secret to success? Well, to help support the student athletes, KHS has a year-round program called "Grade Check."
Grade Check monitors the athletes' grades every week during the year. If an athlete's grades drop to either a D or an F, he or she is considered to be on "grade check" and must go to a mandatory study hall held everyday after school until the grades improve.
This program is unique to Kahuku High and is one of the many reasons why our student athletes do great in school. According to Mrs. Linda Semones, the Grade Check facilitator, "This program is not like any other in the state. Other schools usually check grades when the report cards come out, but Kahuku is constantly checking and monitoring. That's why Kahuku athletes get so many scholarships."
Ale and Ah Hoy both plan to apply for athletic scholarships this fall as they are both looking to play in the college arena. They also are in the process of sending in their NCAA Clearinghouse applications that will notify them if they are eligible to play in the NCAA. Requirements include SAT scores, ACT scores, courses taken by the student, and high school transcripts.
Of course the athletic program would not be as great as it is today without all the coaches who motivate and expect the players to excel. Wiley credits his coaches with supporting him in school and at practice. "Our coaches are always making sure we are doing good in school and they have come up with a new program that will give the football players about an hour after school study hall to do all their homework before practice starts. They are always looking out for us."
Furthermore, parents and family members are constantly pressing their kids to do well, not only in their sports but in school and other extracurricular activities. "My family is always giving me motivation, encouragement, and support," says Ale. "Without them I wouldn't be where I am today."
As a Red Raider family, let's continue to support these amazing student athletes in the class as well as at the games. So next time you're wearing your Red Raider gear, let others know we're not only awesome athletes, but outstanding students as well.

Red Raider fall sports are in full swing, and according to Kahuku High athletic director Joe Whitford, it looks like 2005-06 is going to be another great year for the Pride of the North Shore. He shared the following sports reports with Kaleo:
Football
Unless you just got back from trekking in the Gobi, everyone knows Kahuku High knocked off state defending champ Kamehameha, 16-0, in a preseason opener at Aloha Stadium on Aug. 19th. Going into the game, both teams were calling it a good opportunity to tune up after the off-season.

16-0, at Aloha Stadium on Aug. 19th. — photos by Barry Markowitz |
"Now, we've got a better idea of what the season looks like. Of course, we've only had one game," Whitford said, "and we don't play again until September 9th — McKinley at Moanalua — but considering there were no other scrimmages the defense looked very good and the offense showed flashes of great potential.
"We anticipate this will be a very good year for Kahuku. In fact, It's tough to schedule teams," he continued. And though he was too polite to say it, one wonders if the cancellation of two other preseason scrimmages against Waipahu and Campbell doesn't show a certain reluctance to tangle too soon with Kahuku.
Whitford pointed out the Red Raider varsity roster stands at 72, "which is one of the smallest we've had for a long time. Part of the reason could be attributed to students not qualifying because of grades; but the other part is that we have 49 seniors returning, and there might be a feeling others wouldn't have as much chance of playing because of all the experience the seniors bring."
One of those seniors returning to the varsity, after a year away at American Fork High in Utah, is Mälosi Te'o. "He's a needed component at running back and will definitely strengthen our depth," Whitford said, adding that his brother, Manti "man child" Te'o, a transfer from Punahou, is a starting linebacker for the JV. "That guy is huge," the AD said.
Volleyball
"All our volleyball teams got off to a great start. We won all three of our matches against McKinley — boys, girls, and JV girls," Whitford said, pointing out that the three-time OIA defending champion girls varsity team is presently ranked third in the state behind Punahou and 'Iolani. Kamehameha is fourth.
"It's going to be a very promising year, The team is led by seniors Ane Vea, Camilla Ah Hoy and Lili Lätü," he continued. "On the other hand, the varsity boys team has had a big loss: Junior Ale has decided not to play volleyball for personal reasons. He's going to concentrate on basketball this year, and hopes to get a scholarship."
Whitford said senior hitter Charles Bell led the boys team. Howard Kaululä'au is the head coach, assisted by Kaniela Kalama. Mona Ah Hoy is the girls head coach, while her husband, Irwin Ah Hoy, coaches the JV girls.
Bowling
Whitford reported there was an excellent turnout for the new bowling teams. "Joe Holtzman is the coach. There's been a lot of interest, but he's only going to keep seven on each team."
Athletic Hall of Fame
Whitford said he and others are also "in the process of organizing a Kahuku High School Athletic hall of fame. We plan to put together a selection committee, that includes a cross section of community people, school staff and others. The banquet will be held in June 2006.
"We will probably name the first honorees in February or March 2006, but the committee first needs to establish the selection criteria. At the moment, we're thinking honors can go to teams, individuals and coaches. We'll probably start out with five or six.
"I know it's going to be difficult," Whitford said, "because there are so many worthy candidates to choose from. We were sanctioned by the OIA in 1940."
He added that at this point he's not sure where the Hall of Fame display will be located, but proceeds from the inaugural banquet will benefit the athletic department.
Mahalo, other news
"I want to thank Bu Heffernan who voluntarily has been taking care of our football field. It's in great shape," Whitford said.
He also reported, "the school has purchased a brand new scoreboard with the help of Campbell Estate. We're also planning to build a new press box. Volunteers are ready to go with labor and materials, so we hope that will be ready for our first home game on September 23rd."
The other fall sports currently underway include cross-country and air riflery.
