![]() Sophomore Aofaga Wily carries the ball for Kahuku
It was a beautiful night for playing football — cool tradewinds, the lights at Kahuku's field were working — and both teams came to play. In fact, wasn't it the first time St. Louis had ever come out to the country to mix it up with the Red Raiders?

Acting Mayor Kirk W. Caldwell and the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Emergency Management (DEM) have introduced a new communications service that will help Koolauloa residents better respond to emergencies such as tsunamis, hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters.
School Athletic Director Joe Whitford announced that on Friday, August 20, 2010, "we are going to start world-wide audio-casting as many football games as we can." However, he stressed that the OIA has an agreement with OC16 TV, "so we cannot audio-cast a game that they are televising." "We're also going to do all the home volleyball games, beginning August 26, 2010," he said. Continue reading Kahuku to audio-cast football, volleyball games

"A lot of people on both sides were upset that we couldn't put this together," he said. Pop quiz: What movie is the line, Hey, Mahana, you ugly, from? Lots of people around here were reminded on July 29, 2010, that Joe Ah Quin of Laie said that line over 40 years ago when he and other local people acted in the 1969 Latter-day Saint Polynesian fable Johnny Lingo, which was filmed on location in Koolauloa.

According to the article, management of the Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah, where the game was scheduled to be played on September 11, canceled the game because the main financial sponsor for Kahuku "backed out in April for financial concerns," and no replacement sponsors could be found. Read the article… This news will undoubtedly catch many Kahuku Red Raider fans by surprise, because as recently as this past weekend Kahuku High Athletic Director Joe Whitford was discussing details of the trip and indicated everyone here was looking forward to the game. It's not known at this point whether alternative arrangements can be made. The Hawaii State Department of Transportation recently agreed to replace the existing 25-foot-wide Laie Foodland bridge with a new 50-foot bridge — doubling its drainage capacity. The project is scheduled to start in 2011. The Laie Community Association (LCA) has been working with Hawaii Reserves, Inc., BYU–Hawaii, and the Polynesian Cultural Center to address drainage issues through the Envision Laie process. The community's storm system was built in 1961. There are more than 50 inlets throughout Laie, with two system outfalls emptying into the ocean near the Polynesian Cultural Center and at the drainage canal by Foodland. The 25-foot-wide bridge outfall at the Foodland canal is under capacity. "The outfall at the Foodland bridge is a major bottleneck in our system," said Kevin Schlag, chair of the LCA Drainage Committee. "Widening the bridge is critical to improving drainage in Laie, and we appreciate the work that Hawaii Reserves, Inc., has done to facilitate this key improvement." LCA's President, Pane Meatoga, noted, "We look forward to working with the state, residents and landowners through the Envision Laie process to continue to find drainage solutions for our community." |
