Kahuku High football team haka, February 18, 2010

Kahuku High football team members show the professional NFL players
how to do a haka at the Kemoeatu Brothers first annual football skills clinic.

Former Kahuku High and now professional football players Chris and Ma'ake Kemoeatu — who play for the Pittsburg Steelers and the Carolina Panthers, respectively — brought about 30 of their fellow National Football League teammates and NFL friends home with them on February 18, 2010, to put on the First Annual Kemoeatu Brothers Football Camp at Kahuku High, as well as several other associated events on Oahu.

To help kick off the skills clinic for kids in grades 3-to-12, the NFL players asked the Kahuku High football team members to show them how a real haka is done. Earlier, the Kemoeatu brothers and others held a private training session with the team.

Starting about 7 a.m. on January 25, 2010, motorists and passers-by watched workers from Tajiri Lumber Company, under contract to Hawaii Reserves, Inc. (HRI), start to demolish the 49-unit Laie Inn.

The picture below, taken about 24 hours later, on January 26, 2010, from the same viewpoint, shows the effects trade winds have. — photos by Mike Foley
