Kauakūkalahale Index

Papa kuhikuhi kikoʻī no nā kolamu ʻo Kauakūkalahale

Kauakūkalahale is a weekly Hawaiian language newspaper column, published in Honolulu newspapers since October 27, 2002. It first appeared in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin in the Sunday edition (until the last two weeks of 2008, Saturdays thereafter) until June 12, 2010, when the Honolulu Advertiser and the Star-Bulletin merged. It has been published in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser since June 18, 2010.

Edited by K. Laiana Wong and R. Kekeha Solis, of the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa, each column (appx. 600 words) includes a brief English synopsis. As of June 20, 2020, 922 weekly columns had appeared (not published Feb. 14, 2009, Jan. 2, 2016). Column topics are eclectic, usually related to the Hawaiian community, but including world news and sports, etc.

Over 100 authors have contributed, with over 500 of the articles divided among three, Kekeha Solis (240), Laiana Wong (309), and Kūpopou (152), (as of June 20, 2020).

All of the columns are reproduced here. They appeared online as well as in print, and almost all can also be accessed in the newspaper archives by clinking the newspaper name links (directly above the date). Some two dozen articles not available in the newspaper archives are shown here as microfilm scans of the newspaper columns, or have been transcribed from those scans, indicated by an asterisk (*) after the newpaper name. In those cases, clicking the newspaper name link will display the microfilm scan. (Star Bulletin archived pages from 9/28/2008-6/5/2010 are apparently "working copies" of the columns, and do not show the author's name, nor necessarily the correct publication date of the print edition. A few later online pages show similar errors and omissions. Authors and dates are shown correctly in the articles reproduced here.)

Poʻaono 6/6/2020	No wai lā ka ʻōlelo aloha o ka ʻāina? No ka lāhui nō! Kamoaʻelehua Walk	In response to BJ Akui, there is merit to the argument that the language in these articles should be more widely accessible. I also believe that we should expand our skills so that we can access all levels of Hawaiian.
Poʻaono 5/30/2020	No wai lā nā palapala o kēia au? BJ Akui	The number of Hawaiian language newspapers, blogs and articles has grown in recent years. The writers have primarily been trained to follow a UH canon that is based on the opinions of certain teachers. Are their publications truly reflective of the language of speakers in the Hawaiian-speaking community?
Poʻaono 5/23/2020	Kēkake noho nuha mai i ke alanui, pehea lā e pono ai? Laiana Wong	Hawaiian governance matters at the University of Hawaii. The Aha Kuhina, the Kualii Council, and Pukoa all have to do a better job for our people.
Poʻaono 5/16/2020	He ola anei ko ka virus? He make nō kā ka virus! Laiana Wong	The way in which we refer to the coronavirus suggests that it is a living entity. Scientists generally consider it to be nonliving; somewhere between living and dead.
Poʻaono 5/9/2020	Ke Kulanui o nā malihini ma Mānoa? Laiana Wong	At this time of financial strife, the University of Hawaiʻi should take care of our local population, particularly Hawaiians, and not cater to outsiders who might bring a second wave of infections.
Poʻaono 5/2/2020	He ola anei kā ka lāʻau, ʻo Remdesivir? Laiana Wong	A drug that has shown promise in the treatment of MERS and SARS is being touted as a treatment for COVID-19. That is good news but it should not send us out into the streets until we know for sure.
Poʻaono 4/25/2020	He Hawaiian place of learning ka kakou kulanui? Kaleikoa Kaeo, Kekailoa Perry, Laiana Wong	This is a continuation of last week’s article about the use of Hawaiian words in the University of Hawaii’s strategic plan. If the words do not match the actions, their values are undermined. In this case, they are undermined by an institution that has a record of subjugating Hawaiians.
Poʻaono 4/18/2020	He kulanui aloha aina o UHM? Kaleikoa Kaeo, Kekailoa Perry, Laiana Wong	The use of the term "aloha aina" as a motto for an institution that has shown little aloha for the aina, or for the people whose aina it is, it truly misguided.
Poʻaono 4/11/2020	Hī i ka pā, hāleu me ka lau Laiana Wong	I got caught short on a walk for exercise. With no restroom in the area, I had to relieve myself in the bushes. This was once normal behavior for our kūpuna. Not now!

Poʻaono 3/21/2020	Ua lawa nō paha kākou i ka pōhaku? Laiana Wong	The toilet paper crisis is perhaps the result of our pampered lifestyles. Paper is not the only material that can accomplish the job. Other materials might even offer ecological advantages.

Poʻaono 3/7/2020	He kino wai ko Europa e ola ai ka lā make wai? Laiana Wong	Astronomers have seen streams of what appears to be water spouting out of Europa, one of the moons of Saturn. This suggests that life can be sustained there. It is an interesting discovery, but it does not justify desecrating sacred sites of Hawaiʻi with giant telescopes.
Poʻaono 2/29/2020	E nonoi, e kāhoahoa, e ʻūlāleo aʻe ka pule C. M. Kaliko Baker	The Protect Kaho‘olawe ‘Ohana requests your concerted effort in prayer to stop the fires on Kaho‘olawe.
Poʻaono 2/22/2020	Aloha nō kahi panolina, ua hōʻāhewa ʻia nāna ka maʻi Laiana Wong	The pangolin has been accused of bringing the coronavirus from the animal kindom to us humans. Perhaps this is retribution for what weʻve done to the pangolin.

Poʻaono 1/25/2020	Aʻo manuahi ʻia ka ʻōlelo kanaka, he makepono! Laiana Wong	Free Hawaiian language classes are being offered at UH and all are welcome. This is an excellent way for a new generation to pay forward the valuable lessons they have received during their own journeys. What a deal!

Poʻaono 11/2/2019	He lekapī no ke kokoleka pāhoehoe Laiana Wong	I was surprised to find out that making fudge is not very difficult. But it does take some skill to stir and add ingredients at the same time!
Poʻaono 10/26/2019	Ka moʻolelo mānaʻonaʻo o Emmett Till Laiana Wong	The story of Emmett Till reminds us of the inhumane nature of racism. How much has it changed since 1955, when his mutilated body was pulled from Mississippiʻs Tallahatchie River?
Poʻaono 10/19/2019	Pākuʻi lua ka malo, hawa maila ka ule Laiana Wong	Words for body parts and bodily functions are not taboo in Hawaiian simply because their English counterparts are so in English.
Poʻaono 10/12/2019	Ola ka maʻi luʻuluʻu i ke kūkaelio Laiana Wong	Magic mushrooms offer healing properties to people suffering from depression. We should be working to escape a 1960s mentality that continues to view psilocybin as a Schedule 1 drug.

Poʻaono 9/28/2019	ʻAʻole mānalo o ka ʻeha a ke aupuni Laiana Wong	The arrests at Waimānalo come from the same playbook as those made two months ago on Maunakea. Is this a “might makes right” state?

Poʻaono 9/14/2019	He mihi maoli anei a i ʻole he mihi na ka lehelehe? Laiana Wong	What is the value of an apology if it is disingenuous, or if the apologist has no other choice but to do so? Does it wipe the slate clean?
Poʻaono 9/7/2019	ʻĀ ke kukui, ʻauheʻe aku ka ʻelelū Laiana Wong	There are concerns that the state will be deploying force to physically remove the protectors from Maunakea sometime soon. The best defense under kapu aloha is to cast light on all such actions.

Poʻaono 8/24/2019	Huli kua ʻia ka ʻaha, ʻaʻole ke kanaka Laiana Wong	Huli kua is a Hawaiian response to being wronged. In calling for Thirty Meter Telescope supporters to huli kua, the object is not individuals. We should direct our response to groups.

Poʻaono 8/10/2019	He wahi aʻo Hawaiʻi, no ka Hawaiʻi, na ka Hawaiʻi? Laiana Wong	In order to claim to be a Hawaiian place of learning, the learning must be determined by Hawaiians. If the University of Hawaiʻi were run by Hawaiians, it would not be necessary to call it a Hawaiian place of learning.
Poʻaono 8/3/2019	Mai puni i ia mea he helu o kuhihewa ka manaʻo Laiana Wong	The conflict between quantitative and qualitative evidence in academia has tilted in favor of quantity, yet with regard to support for political agendas, quantity can be misused.

Poʻaono 7/13/2019	E akahele o loaʻa mai i ka huʻi o ka wai Laiana Wong	Hydrocution, or cold water shock, can be deadly. Many people are unaware of this; as was I until three people died in the recent heat wave in France. What should it be called in Hawaiian?
Poʻaono 7/6/2019	A aloha wale ʻia kā hoʻi (ON: 4) Lia OʻNeill Keawe	In seeing the desecration at the Kawaiahaʻo cemetery this past Wednesday, it shows the continual disrespect for kūpuna who have left this earthly world, something that is in complete opposition to a Hawaiian perspective that continues to honor and cherish their kūpuna long after they have entered the next realm.

Kuanoni Kaniaupio-Crozier	Hawaiian Airlinesʻ recent changes to its airfare, loyalty program and seating classes have left loyal local customers feeling abandoned by the airline bearing the name of their home state.

Poʻaono 3/2/2019	He aloha nō ʻo Kapūkakī, ua piha i ka ʻailea Laiana Wong	The U.S. Navyʻs fuel storage tanks buried at Kapūkaki (Red Hill) have leaked in the past. In what way can this be good for Oahuʻs drinking water, which is located nearby?
Poʻaono 2/23/2019	Lele ka ʻanae i ke alo pali o Nuʻuanu Laiana Wong	The Nuʻuanu Pali Tunnels were closed this week due to landslides. Given the history, i.e., the numerous soldiers who fell to their deaths at the Battle of Nuʻuanu, will drivers be hesitant to take that route? I will.
Poʻaono 2/16/2019	E akaaka anei i ke kahako a me ka okina? Laiana Wong	A bill was just passed by the Legislature requiring the use of macrons and glottal stops in all government papers, signs and seals. Although it appears to be benign, there is opposition.

Poʻaono 1/5/2019	Nā hoʻohiki o ka makahiki hou Laiana Wong	Making a New Yearʻs resolution, whether publicly or privately, reveals a sense of power or control in affecting future outcomes. It is a bit overreaching from the perspective of one who abdicates control over fate.

Poʻaono 12/29/2018	Ka haunaele a Trump ma Suria Laiana Wong	Donald Trumpʻs decision to withdraw forces from Syria is viewed as unwise, but his reasons for doing what he does tend to align with his own self-interests. Perhaps something will motivate him to withdraw from Hawaiʻi.
Poʻaono 12/22/2018	Puhi holo wale, ʻaʻohe pāpalekimo Laiana Wong	“Stealthing,” or removing a condom during sex without a partnerʻs knowledge, can now merit criminal consequences, although not yet in America. The word is catching on.

Poʻaono 9/8/2018	I pau ke kulopia, me ka peluluka, a me ka mū ʻuala hoʻi Keoni Ezell	Growing sustainable traditional crops, as our ancestors did, can be a difficult undertaking. Invasive pests that were not present before are but one of the many challenges facing farmers today. For those growing sweet potatoes, one must remain forever vigilant against the sweet potato weevil (Cylas formicarius).
Poʻaono 9/1/2018	He aloha ka mahalo i ke kūʻai ʻia Laiana Wong	Making money by selling Mahaloha burgers (mahalo + aloha) decreases markedly the value of Hawaiian words in Hawaiʻi. This callous disregard for such important Hawaiian words represents a net loss for the Hawaiian language.
Poʻaono 8/25/2018	Eia aʻe kahi makani pāhili ʻo Lane: Aloha ʻino kākou! Laiana Wong	As we prepare for Hurricane Lane, we should exercise more aloha by not overstocking on certain necessities. We should remember that others have similar needs.
Poʻaono 8/18/2018	Alohe ē ke ʻahi i ka pokē ʻia Laiana Wong	This week, we continue our examination of the word “pokē” (as it is spelled on the Aloha Pokē Website), and whether or not it is a real Hawaiian word. If it is not, should we be concerned about its co-option?
Poʻaono 8/11/2018	He aloha ē ka iʻa i ka poke ʻia Laiana Wong	The appropriation of language is certainly of importance, but we must not forget some of the more egregious inequities inherent to existence under colonial rule.
Poʻaono 8/4/2018	Ua mau anei ka pono o nā kānaka ʻōiwi? Laiana Wong	The Restoration Day celebration at Thomas Square, where the Hawaiian flag now flies alone, gives hope to those of us who support a completely independent Hawaiʻi.
Poʻaono 7/28/2018	Ahuwale ana ka pū o ka halihali ākea ʻia mai Laiana Wong	The second amendment rights of a Hawaiʻi man have been upheld, allowing him to carry a handgun for protection. In what way does this protect the populace?
Poʻaono 7/21/2018	Alu ka pule i Hakalau (ON: 115) Kekeha Solis	Because of the loss of Officer Bronson K. Kaliloa, there is a concentrated effort to find his killer. However, there also should be a united effort to create better avenues for the incarcerated population instead of only making stricter laws and more severe penalties.
Poʻaono 7/14/2018	Pūʻali ka hau o ʻIolekaʻa i ka maile pilau Laiana Wong	The maile pilau has become a serious problem in Hawaiʻi, creeping into peopleʻs yards and choking out trees and even some native vegetation. I do not believe the solution lies in poisoning this pest. That would only serve to poison the land.
Poʻaono 7/7/2018	Hoʻolauleʻa hoʻokamani na ke aupuni hoʻokolonaio Laiana Wong	As Hawaii celebrates the intriguing story of American independence, we should remember that our legitimate sovereign nation was illegally annexed by a country that stole its land base from other native peoples.
Poʻaono 6/30/2018	Ka hoʻokae komoneʻe: ʻo ia hoʻokamani nō ʻo Maleka Laiana Wong	The hypocrisy of America is astounding. A country stolen from its indigenous peoples, and now claiming to take in people from all over who are “yearning to breathe free,” is now recanting.
Poʻaono 6/23/2018	He waiwai ʻokoʻa ia mea ʻo ke ‘komo kaimana’ Laiana Wong	Diamonds from outer space were found in an asteroid that landed in Syria, suggesting that our understanding of the creation of the universe could change. Diamonds contained in the asteroid and the material found inside those diamonds indicate that our beginnings were not what we had thought.
Poʻaono 6/16/2018	Kū kaʻapā iā Hawaiʻi, he aloha ʻāina Kekeha Solis	The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency did not ban the use of the pesticide chemical chlorpyrifos on crops. Hawai‘i is the first state to do so and hopefully, other states will follow.
Poʻaono 6/9/2018	Ua kanono maoli ka hoʻopaʻi Kekeha Solis	The commuting of sentences by the president is wonderful for the people whose sentences are commuted or pardoned. However, the president and other government officials need to do more concerning the justice system and incarceration.
Poʻaono 6/2/2018	ʻO ka ʻino i ʻike ahuwale ʻia, e aho ia i ka hana malū Laiana Wong	Roseanne Barr is paying a heavy price for issuing racist statements at once offensive and unchecked. I would rather be clear about where people stand than have to worry about the quiet racist who bides his time waiting for an opportunity to act on his skewed thoughts. This is the downside of political correctness.
Poʻaono 5/26/2018	Makehewa ka lele kapuahi o kā kākou kālā Laiana Wong	There are many issues to consider when voting in November. With respect to the rail system, I have spoken consistently against it and the associated cost overruns. Which of the major candidates for governor is of like mind? My vote goes there.
Poʻaono 5/19/2018	Kū kilakila ana ʻo Akaka Kekeha Solis	Services for former U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka at the Capitol and at Kawaiahaʻo Church take place this weekend.
Poʻaono 5/12/2018	Pehea ana lā ka manaʻo o Pele? Laiana Wong	Pele is showing her displeasure. This could be the result of the persistent efforts to tap a clean energy source in geothermal. What we think is good for the Earth may not agree with Pele.
Poʻaono 5/5/2018	No wai ka mana koho pāloka? Laiana Wong	Perhaps the legal voting age in the U.S. should be lowered from 18 to 16. The long- running social experiment recognizing a magical cut-off between one day before the 18th birthday and one day after, has not worked out well for Americans.
Poʻaono 4/28/2018	No Kahaleʻohuonāmauna Keawe Lopes	In loving memory of a beloved hula exponent of our ‘ohana’s legacy.
Poʻaono 4/21/2018	Kani ē ka ʻōlē walo i ke kula i Mannahatta Laiana Wong	People in New York employ their car horns indiscriminately. It is clearly not intended to effect change in the behavior of other drivers. It seems more like griping, a form of self-therapy.
Poʻaono 4/14/2018	He mana ko ka inoa, ʻaʻole e kapakapa wale ʻia aku Laiana Wong	I no longer call President Donald Trump “Huli” for a number of reasons. For one, it is a very important word in traditional Hawaiian. These meanings should be thought of first, before thinking of the introduced card game.
Poʻaono 4/7/2018	ʻUʻuku ka uku ke ʻuʻu ka ʻuku Laiana Wong	Very few words have been borrowed from Hawaiian into English. The borrowing has been done in the opposite direction. This balance of trade is untenable if we are concerned with the health of the Hawaiian language and the maintenance of Hawaiian worldviews.
Poʻaono 3/31/2018	Ua pili anei ka make i ka makemake? Laiana Wong	English glosses of Hawaiian words can offer false equivalencies that effectively alter their intended meanings. Translation will ultimately supplant traditional Hawaiian worldviews through the perversion of meaning.
Poʻaono 3/24/2018	Nani Kauaʻi hemolele i ka mālie (ON: 2060) Lāiana Kanoa-Wong	This is a brief account of an astonishing journey by the children of Ke Kula ʻo Samuel M. Kamakau's Papa Kukui, to Kauaʻi. Lots of hospitality and love in the beautiful lands of Manokalanipō.
Poʻaono 3/17/2018	E pā Mau ana kahi Kukunaokalā mālamalama Kekeha Solis, Lia O’Neill Keawe	In remembrance of an awesome husband, father, mentor, coach, friend and leader, Sulu Mau Tafaoimalo.
Poʻaono 3/10/2018	Na ke ola e kūpale i ka make i ʻole e haumia Kekailoa Perry	Cultural differences come to a head on Maui. Developers unearth bones from an ancient burial site in order to construct a restroom. Protesters put their safety on the line to protect the site.
Poʻaono 3/3/2018	E ʻimi i ke ola ma waho aku o ka pū Kolomona Nakatsuka	Recent gun violence has raised the issue of gun control. Although guns enable us to protect ourselves from the government, we shouldnʻt have to rely on something so dangerous as our only check on runaway government.
Poʻaono 2/24/2018	Mai makaʻu i ka manioka, hiki ke ʻai ʻia Laiana Wong	It is possible to eat cassava root, but it must be cleaned properly or the outer bark of the root, and the layer immediately below that, are toxic and can cause death. Nothing to fear. I tried it and I am writing this article. It tastes like potato.
Poʻaono 2/17/2018	Hilahila ʻoe, make ʻoe Laiana Wong	Shame can be detrimental to aspirations, and so we often see it as a bad thing. However, there is value to keeping a little bit of shame around to prevent us from being too audacious and to remind us that we are social creatures whose actions affect others. My friend, Noʻeau Warner, taught me that.
Poʻaono 2/10/2018	He hāwaʻe ʻiʻo ʻole ka unuhi Laiana Wong	People are now allowed to provide testimony in Hawaiian during court proceedings. The catch is that an English translation must be provided. This is a vacuous concession.
Poʻaono 2/3/2018	Aloha nō kahi keiki ʻike ʻole i ka helu pō Laiana Wong	I’m sure the super blue blood moon that made a rare appearance early Wednesday morning in our skies was something to behold. Those lucky enough to see it will no doubt cherish it forever. Are there words in Hawaiian to indicate such an event? Let us know.
Poʻaono 1/27/2018	Kīhēhē wale aku ka poʻe Hawaiʻi i ke au iā Maleka Kekailoa Perry, Laiana Wong	A court case on Maui has brought attention to Hawaiian rights with respect to the domains of language use. Kaleikoa Kaeo has chosen to present his case through the medium of Hawaiian, but the judge has denied his right to do so. As his rights are stripped away, he becomes increasingly invisible; and so do we.
Poʻaono 1/20/2018	Kani ke oeoe, he piʻoloke ko ka ʻāina Laiana Wong	The nuclear missile alarm caused serious consternation, but people remained courteous on the roads. As for the assignment of blame, we should look no further than the two despotic leaders who are peddling fear. Lock ’em up and let ’em fight each other.
Poʻaono 1/13/2018	ʻInoʻino ke kai ua ʻau ʻia e ke kae Laiana Wong	Unusually high levels of enterococci bacteria have been reported in the waters off Ala Moana Beach. In fact, there is about eight times the allowable amount. It is not known what has caused the spike in bacteria, but people are being notified not to swim there.
Poʻaono 1/6/2018	Halihali ʻia ka huaale lāʻau pā ma ka leka Laiana Wong	A pilot program involving four states, including Hawaiʻi, that offers abortion approval by teleconference with a doctor has invited protest. Is this about abortion rights or abortion procedures?
2017
Poʻaono 12/30/2017	E kū kaʻeo i ke kalaʻihi o Maleka Laiana Wong, Kekailoa Perry	Whereas Hawaiian is one of two official languages of the state, a defendant should be allowed to present a defense in Hawaiian, and not be forced to operate within the limitations of English.
Poʻaono 12/23/2017	Nō ka wai ʻino, ʻinoʻino ka ʻāina Laiana Wong	Many homes in Hawaiʻi are still utilizing cesspools to handle wastewater. This is not a sustainable practice as it could ultimately seep into our sources of drinking water.
Poʻaono 12/16/2017	Na ke kāleka ia e hōʻoia i ke kanaka? Laiana Wong	If you have to renew your state ID, be sure to take all the necessary documents — birth certificate, Social Security card, and two documents verifying your resident address.
Poʻaono 12/9/2017	Nalo ka wahine i loko o ka huaʻōlelo aikāne Laiana Wong	There is an implication attached to the word aikāne, that it only applies to males. Females are not represented based on its overt construction. Its meaning, generally understood through English translations, can carry negative connotations.
Poʻaono 12/2/2017	E mau ka pono o ka Lā Kūʻokoʻa Laiana Wong	Sir George Simpson of the Hudson Bay Company is one of the lesser known plenipotentiary envoys sent by Kauikeaouli to America and Europe to secure a treaty recognizing Hawaii as an independent state.
Poʻaono 11/25/2017	E ʻaʻala anei ka pua i kona inoa? Laiana Wong	Names that have been suggested for the rail stations by a HART committee do not have meanings that reflect the history and the issues surrounding the project. They should have names that are informative.
Poʻaono 11/18/2017	Mahuka ka pupule ma Kāneʻohe Laiana Wong	The escape of Randall Saito from the Kāneʻohe State Hospital this past Sunday sent shivers throughout the island. There is a lot of blame to go around and the protocols definitely need more vigilant enforcement, but more importantly, the health care system needs to provide more effective help to those who need it.
Poʻaono 11/11/2017	He aha lā hoʻi kēlā mea e kau mai ala i luna? Laiana Wong	Ignorance is revealed in many ways. Knowing oneʻs place is more valuable than knowing what one might view as fact.
Poʻaono 11/4/2017	Ka pūkaʻina kahului pōhili puni honua o 2017 Laiana Wong	The Houston Astros are the 2017 Major League Baseball champions, having defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in a hard-fought seven-game series. Houston centerfielder George Springer, who had a tremendous series both at the plate and in the field, was named MVP. His real MVP work, however, might be what he does off the field.
Poʻaono 10/28/2017	Pehea lā ka puana ʻana i ka wē? Laiana Wong	The “w” in Hawaiian today is sometimes pronounced like an English “w” and sometimes like an English “v”. Whatʻs up with that?
Poʻaono 10/21/2017	He maʻi ʻino e huikau ai ka waihona noʻonoʻo Laiana Wong	Researchers are making headway in their efforts to understand the causes of obsessive compulsive disorder. Interestingly, some of the genes in which certain mutations occur that seem to be linked to OCD are the same as those found in animals with similar disorders.
Poʻaono 10/14/2017	Hoʻohāliʻaliʻa i ka Mōʻīwahine aloha Kekeha Solis	A wonderful exhibit in remembrance of Queen Liliʻuokalani. The exhibit, curated by Keahiahi Long, has been on display in Hamilton Library at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
Poʻaono 10/7/2017	Ua lawa anei ka hana ʻino a ka pū? Laiana Wong	The mass shooting in Las Vegas is just one more piece of evidence that supports a bipartisan move for more extensive gun control laws. People kill people, but guns kill lots of people. Self-defense cannot be a defense for guns if no one has them.
Poʻaono 9/30/2017	E noho paʻa e nā hoa kūpaʻa i ke kūpono Laiana Wong	Standing or kneeling for the American flag is a right supposedly guaranteed by what the flag symbolizes. Donʻt fall for the Trump misdirection play. Stay the course until true equality reigns.
Poʻaono 9/23/2017	Hele i Kealia, ua napoʻo ʻē ka lā (ON: 744) Laiana Wong	Kauakūkalahale columns can be accessed in hard copy or at the Star-Advertiser website. They are also available a day later, for free, at www.trussel2.com/haw/kuk/hsa.htm, or at kauakukalahale.org. Contemporary editorials in Hawaiian need to reach Hawaiian language speakers online.
Poʻaono 9/16/2017	Hawahawa ka lima o ke kālepa kaʻa (ON: 499) Laiana Wong	The living conditions following Harvey and Irma have been miserable, but the generosity of people has emerged. This is now being overshadowed by those who, among other questionable activities, are reselling damaged cars without proper disclosure, as required by law.
Poʻaono 9/9/2017	Kalaʻihi ka lā, kūpilikiʻʻi ka honua (ON: 1421) Laiana Wong	The world experienced some very powerful solar flares this week. Such dramatic events can have serious consequences. They can also produce beautiful skies. World leaders should be more positive in outlook.
Poʻaono 9/2/2017	Uē ka lani, uē pū me ko ka honua Laiana Wong	News of the flooding from tropical storm Harvey has reached just about everyone by now. The little bit of flooding I had at my house in Kāneʻohe during the rains on Tuesday pales in comparison to the devastation in Texas and Louisiana.
Poʻaono 8/26/2017	E kūʻēʻē ʻia ka hoʻokae ʻili, he hana ʻino Laiana Wong	The American Educational Research Association has released a statement condemning the recent violent events in Charlottesville, Va. A Hawaiian version of the statement appears below.
Poʻaono 8/19/2017	Kaiakahinaliʻi: Ahu mōkākī ka puna i uka (ON: 1243) Laiana Wong	Global warming has exacerbated the problem of rising sea levels. Record king tides are expected to become the norm in the near future, inundating coastal cities. And some folks still refuse to acknowledge the serious ramifications of global warming, let alone the fact that it even exists.
Poʻaono 8/12/2017	Eia nō kahi Hawaiʻi ua kaulona ʻia Laiana Wong	The latest crisis facing the Trump administration seems like a game of chicken, and Hawaiʻi could be the collision point. Contrary to popular received wisdom, Hawaiʻi would be much safer if we were under our own control. Americaʻs illegitimate control of our islands has placed us in the crosshairs of North Korea.
Poʻaono 8/5/2017	Ea aʻe i luna, a kū kiaʻi mauna Laiana Wong	Protectors practicing nonviolent resistance were forcibly removed from the road to the summit of Haleakalā by police. Why does the University of Hawaii support the Hōkūleʻa but is willing to desecrate our mountain?
Poʻaono 7/29/2017	Haipule o nā kūpuna ma Kawaiahaʻo Kolomona Nakatsuka	Kawaiahaʻo Church held services in the Hawaiian language last Sunday in order to minister to Oʻahu’s Hawaiian language community. This will greatly support Hawaiian language restoration.
Poʻaono 7/22/2017	Nā ipo liʻiliʻi hoʻokuʻi i ka puʻuwai Laiana Wong, Christine Ambrosino	A type of vegetation that grows only in Hawaiʻi, particularly on the North facing side of Moku o Loʻe, has been called Halophila hawaiiana by the scientific community, and is commonly referred to as seagrass. What can we call it in Hawaiian? Some high school science students have an idea.
Poʻaono 7/15/2017	Mai hoʻonui wale i ka ʻino Laiana Wong	So much negative press has surrounded this presidency, much of which predates the election. The negative reports should be curtailed so that truly egregious acts will be recognized as such, and not seen as normal behavior. This is not an issue of accuracy. It is about avoiding apathy.
Poʻaono 7/8/2017	Lei Kaʻapuni Honua: He ʻaha ʻawa Laiana Kanoa-Wong	The triumphant return of Hōkūleʻa on June 17 was celebrated with an ʻawa ceremony to honor and signify the completion of the Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage. Here is an account of this unique ceremony.
Poʻaono 7/1/2017	He lāʻau ʻino a hōʻea mai i o kākou nei Laiana Wong	Hawaiʻi has not escaped the opioid epidemic that is devastating communities all over the world. Over the past 10 years, opioid-related deaths in Hawaiʻi have increased by 83 percent. Something needs to be done and we all need to be part of the solution.
Poʻaono 6/24/2017	Pūhā hewa ka honu i ka lā makani Laiana Wong	Got a problem with the traffic at Laniākea and want to move the turtles? Let’s not blame it on them. In what way is it their fault? It is a human problem requiring a solution respectful of nature.
Poʻaono 6/17/2017	Hōkūleʻa, ka waʻa kaʻapuni honua Laiana Wong	On its maiden voyage to Tahiti in 1976, Hōkūleʻa was captained by Kāwika Kapahulehua. He was a Hawaiian language speakers who in his later years taught language students at the University of Hawaii. Hōkūleʻa has just returned from a voyage around the world and will anchor off Ala Moana Park on Saturday.
Poʻaono 6/10/2017	Mauiakama: Aloha ʻāina ʻoiaʻiʻo Laiana Wong	Valuable lessons are available at language immersion camps such as Mauiakama but language learning is not the most important. Caring for the land because the land takes care of us, is a basic obligation. Language only supports the process.
Poʻaono 6/3/2017	Mō ke kī lā make Kekeha Solis	Similarities of the story of Kalapana with whatʻs going on in America.
Poʻaono 5/27/2017	Nā Hōkū ʻōlinolino o Kawaihuelani Annette Kuuipolani Wong	Congratulations to the group Keauhou for the Nā Hōkū Hanohano awards it has received.
Poʻaono 5/20/2017	Mahalo ka mea loaʻa o hoka auaneʻi Laiana Wong	I have recently begun to worry that Donald Trump might actually be impeached. That would be very, very bad. Trump offers the best chance for the resurgence of a liberal agenda. Besides, who would step in and provide the entertainment?
Poʻaono 5/13/2017	He mea pahū ke kamepiula Laiana Wong	In the name of safety, the Department of Homeland Security is banning laptop computers and other small electronic items from being carried onto aircraft. Is this about safety or repression?
Poʻaono 5/6/2017	Hoʻomanaʻo ʻia ke Alamo? Laiana Wong	The story of what happened at the Alamo glorifies land-grabbing slave owners while treating native peoples as if they were nonexistent.
Poʻaono 4/29/2017	Kuʻia nā hoa makalauna o ka lewa Kanoelani Wong	The scandal involving the overbooked United Airlines flight and the passenger who was dragged off the plane created quite a public relations stir. It is clear that United has alternative ways of handling the situation but chose a path that would make it pay.
Poʻaono 4/22/2017	Aia ka ‘ai ma mua o ka i’a Laiana Wong	As we engage in the regenesis of Hawaiian, it is important to preserve whatever we can. Because most speakers today are first-language speakers of English, English word order tends to inform the new Hawaiian. We should attend to this lest it be said that we speak English in Hawaiian.
Poʻaono 4/15/2017	Ua Lele Kohala Keawe Lopes	With great love and remembrance for a dearly loved Kohala who recently left this life on Earth.
Poʻaono 4/8/2017	Eia aʻe kahi makani ʻino ke pā mai nei Laiana Wong	We should all be concerned that Donald Trump has chosen to respond to violence with violence. The attack on Syria could easily escalate into something more serious, especially if Russia enters the fray.
Poʻaono 4/1/2017	Pila pilo: ʻAʻohe heluna kālā e ʻaʻala ai Laiana Wong	North Carolina, reeling from lost revenues because of fallout from its “bathroom bill,” has just passed a new version. Both the proponents of the original bill and its opponents find themselves aligned in opposition to the new version.
Poʻaono 3/25/2017	Ka mohala ʻana mai o ka ʻōlelo kanaka Laiana Wong	The Hawaiian language is making a comeback from the brink of death. The initial shift away from a thriving history, however, should serve to remind us of its fragile nature. Just one generation of neglect, and it could be gone.
Poʻaono 3/18/2017	Hōlapu ke ahi, koe iho ka lehu (ON: 1050) Kekeha Solis	Road rage is something probably everybody experiences, but we should find ways to curb it because the consequences may be permanent. Getting angry does not solve anything. Letʻs heed some of the words from our kūpuna.
Poʻaono 3/11/2017	E kaukaʻi paha ka DHHL i ka DNA? Laiana Wong	What are the limits of DNA testing for ancestry, and can it be utilized fairly? Further investigation is needed before implementation. Invoking scientific methods should not be inconsistent. Either do it all the way or donʻt do it at all.
Poʻaono 3/4/2017	He aha ia mea he pākeneka koko Hawaiʻi? Laiana Wong	Hawaiian Home Lands is a misnomer. They should really be Hawaiian lands. By buying into the blood quantum requirements, we are complicit in our own colonization. Until such time that we are able to exercise our sovereignty, we should probably honor the 1/32 quantum espoused by Kūhiō.
Poʻaono 2/25/2017	Aia nō kahi ʻIlioki ua paʻa i waho o ke anu Laiana Wong	New efforts are being made to reverse the 2006 decision to revoke Pluto’s status as a planet in our solar system. It is currently labeled a “dwarf planet”. Despite this label, it is not viewed by some as a real planet. Why then call it a “planet”?
Poʻaono 2/18/2017	Māhuahua nā kīnā i ke oʻo o ka mānaʻai Laiana Wong	Many men will be surprised to learn that fathering children at an advanced age can carry severe consequences for their children's health. There is an increased risk for certain afflictions that will be problematic for the child. The biggest surprise is the actual age that is considered advanced. It can be less than 40.
Poʻaono 2/11/2017	Ka Makani Kāʻili Aloha Kimo Alama Keaulana	The continuation of last weekʻs love story for Valentineʻs Day about a man whose wife left him for another.
Poʻaono 2/4/2017	Ka Makani Kāʻili Aloha Kimo Alama Keaulana	A love story for Valentineʻs Day about a man whose wife left him for another. Donʻt forget to always care for and show your love to your significant other.
Poʻaono 1/28/2017	Paipai ʻo Huli i ia hana ʻo ka hoʻomāinoino hoʻopiholo Laiana Wong	It is not surprising that President Donald Trump is in support of torture by way of waterboarding. Despite studies that have shown the futility of such measures, he still thinks it is an effective deterrent to terrorism. He says that it absolutely works, but how could he really know without personal experience?
Poʻaono 1/21/2017	Eia mai kahi mūhune ʻino ke laha aʻe nei Laiana Wong	A new type of infectious disease is spreading throughout the world, and the available antibiotics are ineffective against it. The number of cases is growing. Eight months ago, there was only one reported case. That is not so today. What will happen in the next eight months?
Poʻaono 1/14/2017	A he ʻuʻa keia ua hiki iho nei Laiana Wong	Defibrillators and pacemakers may soon come under attack by hackers. Our increased dependence on technology to support such health-related advancements leaves those of us dependent on them vulnerable to the whims of such people.
Poʻaono 1/7/2017	E ʻai i ka paka o ka pīneki ʻoi ʻōpiopio Laiana Wong	Peanut allergies may eventually be a thing of the past. Research has shown that children who are fed peanut-based products at the age of 6 months develop immunities to the adverse effects traditionally associated with peanuts.
2016
Poʻaono 12/31/2016	Ua ahuwale ka hau o uka Laiana Wong	New technology allows us to view the Earth from space. We can track the distribution of humans, changes in forestation and ice caps, and water use patterns. This could help to authenticate global warming for the few remaining non-believers.
Poʻaono 12/24/2016	Ka māuikiʻikiʻi o ka hoʻoilo Laiana Wong	We just experienced the winter solstice on Wednesday. It was the shortest day of the year. Although the reasons for naming the events that coincide with the shortest or longest days of a year, or when the length of a day is equal to its corresponding night serve astronomers, the idea of corresponding seasons is odd in Hawaiʻi.
Poʻaono 12/17/2016	He aha ka waiwai o ke mele ʻHawaiʻi Ponoʻīʻ? ʻAnela Texeira, Kuʻupua Silva	Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī has been the state song since 1967 but has been around longer. King David Kalākaua wrote the lyrics to the melody and it was first sung by the Kawaiahaʻo Church Choir on Nov. 16, 1874, on Kalākauaʻs birthday. What most people donʻt know is that there are originally three full verses in the song. However, at the University of Hawaiʻi games, only the first verse and a repeated chorus are sung. How important is it to know and sing the full song of Hawaiʻi?
Poʻaono 12/10/2016	Koho hewaʻo Disney i ke ala ʻmi kālā Nahenahe Tomas, Kanaʻi Chock, Kekailoa Perry	Disneyʻs removal of its Maui costume from store shelves was a good thing for Polynesian culture. Understanding cultural appropriation will awaken the colonizing mind to the nature of this type of abuse.
Poʻaono 12/3/2016	He Kaukau Aloha No Keomailani, Ua Hala Kalikoaloha Martin	In loving memory of Keomailani Woolford.
Poʻaono 11/26/2016	Hūhewa ke ala kau i ka lewa Kealoha Feliciano, Kiaʻi Mielke, Kanoelani Wong	The rail transit system that links towns and cities together disconnects us from the land and culture. Research shows numerous adverse negative effects of the rail transit system on the island of Oʻahu.
Poʻaono 11/19/2016	Ka paipu ʻaila ma Dakota ʻĀkau Hoʻolana Purdy, Ioane Goodhue, Lei Fujikane	There are many problems that arise from the proposed North Dakota access pipeline.
Poʻaono 11/12/2016	Ola Ka Makapehu Iʻa ʻOle S. Kamakakaulani Gramberg	Lineal descendants and members of the Kaʻūpūlehu Marine Life Advisory Committee have asked us all to “try wait,” by initiating a fishing kapu, rest period, on a 3.6-mile stretch of shoreline from Kīkaua Point to Kalaemanō. Combining Hawaiian traditional and customary practices with Western science, these dedicated members have developed a detailed plan to ensure the survival and proliferation of this fishery. This 10-year moratorium, codified by the state Department of Land and Natural Resources, will allow these resources to self-heal and revitalize the quantity of fish to levels of sustainability similar to those that existed prior to Western fishing methods.
Poʻaono 11/5/2016	Ola Ka Makapehu Iʻa ʻOle S. Kamakakaulani Gramberg	Lineal descendants and members of the Kaʻūpūlehu Marine Life Advisory Committee have asked us all to “try wait,” by initiating a fishing kapu, rest period, on a 3.6-mile stretch of shoreline from Kīkaua point to Kalaemanō. Combining Hawaiian traditional and customary practices with Western science, these dedicated members have developed a detailed plan to ensure the survival and proliferation of this fishery. This 10-year moratorium, codified by the DLNR, will allow these resources to self-heal and revitalize the quantity of fish to levels of sustainability similar to those that existed prior to Western fishing methods.

Poʻaono 10/22/2016	Na Huli ʻo Huli i kāmau ʻino mai Laiana Wong	Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump just trumped himself during the third and final presidential debate by refusing to say whether or not he will accept the outcome of the election. People from both sides of the aisle see this as completely disrespectful of the entire process.
Poʻaono 10/15/2016	No Keliʻi Ruth nei hoʻoheno Keawe Lopes	Celebrating the accomplishment of Keliʻi Ruth, a member of the Tuahine Troupe, on completing his master/apprenticeship with Master Chanter Dr. Kalena Silva.

Poʻaono 9/24/2016	Nui ke aloha no Ernie Cruz Jr. Laiana Wong	The passing of Ernie Cruz Jr. will have a profound and lasting effect on all who knew him. His infectious smile and generous nature are reminiscent of older Hawaiians. He was truly a young man with an old soul.
Poʻaono 9/17/2016	He wai ola paha ko ka paipu loloa? Laiana Wong	The protest in North Dakota against building a 1,170-mile oil pipeline is just one more example of manʻs disregard for the life of the land and for the well-being of the original peoples of the land.
Poʻaono 9/10/2016	He aha ka hewa o ka moe awakea? Laiana Wong	Research has shown that children who get insufficient sleep are at risk of becoming obese later in life. Being awake and active does not prevent such an outcome. So letʻs all go to sleep earlier!
Poʻaono 9/3/2016	He mahalo no ka wiwo ʻole o Kaepernick Laiana Wong	Americans should support Colin Kaepernick's decision to sit in protest during renditions of the Star-Spangled Banner. The struggle will bring enlightenment and improvements to that nation. It is easy for Americans to turn a blind eye to America's faults by allowing outrage over attempts to effect change obscure the truth.
Poʻaono 8/27/2016	Mai hoʻomāuna i ka ʻai o huli mai auaneʻi ʻo Hāloa e nānā (ON: 2052) Kekeha Solis	The World Conservation Congress is coming up next week in Honolulu. Many things are being done to protect our resources.
Poʻaono 8/20/2016	Mahalo e nā kūpuna Kekeha Solis	Many thanks to my ancestors for leading me to where I am today and the many people who are a part of my life. This is a story about one of the very dearly loved people who is close to my heart.
Poʻaono 8/13/2016	Nā Hoʻokūkū ʻOlimepika Kekeha Solis	There have been a variety of sports in the Olympics since the first modern Olympics in 1896. Finally, surfing will be among them in 2020.
Poʻaono 8/6/2016	I mea aha ka leʻa ma ka hoʻohāpai wahine? Laiana Wong	Recent research into human reproduction has attempted to account for the difference between genders in the frequency of orgasms during sex. A theory has been proposed suggesting that female orgasm was historically necessary for the production of eggs and is no longer so. It is only one of a number of competing theories.
Poʻaono 7/30/2016	Hauʻoli Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea Laiana Wong	This yearʻs ceremonies celebrating the restoration of sovereignty to the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi in 1843 are being held today and tomorrow at Thomas Square. Come join in the commemoration of this landmark event.
Poʻaono 7/23/2016	He aloha no ka lama kū o ka Noʻeau Laiana Wong	One of Hawaiʻi's premier educators, and one of my closest friends, Noʻeau Warner, has just passed on. He leaves behind many innovative teaching strategies, but without his talent and dedication the job becomes much more difficult.
Poʻaono 7/16/2016	Wāwahi ʻia ka maluhia a kau mai ka weli Laiana Wong	The escalation of violent acts throughout the world has made people jumpy. This has led to some not–so-well-thought-out reponses, some of which call for a matching of the violence, and others that overly generalize the source of a problem and seek to solve it by engaging in extreme acts that can hurt innocent people.
Poʻaono 7/9/2016	Āhea e pau ai ka luku a ka pū? Laiana Wong	The questionable behavior of a few police officers has spurred protest demonstrations. This week in Dallas, a number of police officers were targeted by a shooter with a semi-automatic weapon. It is critical that we endeavor to de-escalate the proliferation of guns.
Poʻaono 7/2/2016	E kū paha ka uha i ka ʻohe nānā? Laiana Wong	Many people are hesitant to undergo colorectal screening. Some put it off while others never do it. Doctors agree on the benefits of early detection, and there are some new techniques that are less invasive than the traditional colonoscopy.
Poʻaono 6/25/2016	Aloha nō kahi Miki ʻIole, ua miki ʻia Laiana Wong	The new Disneyland that is about to open in Shanghai has concerns about the attractiveness of the names of the attractions, even in translation. Some are offputting to the Chinese public and may act counter to their intent. Why is translation necessary anyway? Wouldnʻt it be wiser to come up with names that reflect a Chinese worldview?
Poʻaono 6/18/2016	E ao Hawaiʻi, mai puni iā Maleka! Laiana Wong	Not standing for the “Star Spangled Banner” at Kamehameha Schools' commencement this year was a sign of enlightenment and a testament to knowledge. The school should be proud of its students for taking a seat.
Poʻaono 6/11/2016	Paʻa ka ʻōlelo, ʻaʻohe e komo Laiana Wong	Censoring of communication is nothing new to prisons. Prisoners, by definition, forfeit some of their rights. Censoring of a language, however, punishes more than just the individual; it punishes an entire group of speakers as well.
Poʻaono 6/4/2016	E kū mai paha ka ʻaoʻao Kūnoa Laiana Wong	Will a Libertarian presidential candidate emerge? There are certainly a lot of disgruntled people who do not like the presumptive nominees of both major parties. Will a third-party candidate reduce the overall support for the ultimate winner?
Poʻaono 5/28/2016	He mū ʻo ia! E ao nō ka maʻi! Laiana Wong	A new strain of bacteria has afflicted a Pennsylvania woman, and there is no antibiotic that can combat this “super bug.” Bacteria, like other living organisms, are fighting for survival. They are morphing into drug-resistant strains to stay alive.
Poʻaono 5/21/2016	Kolohe hou mai kahi ʻIona Likiuma Laiana Wong	The sale of e-cigarettes to minors has just been prohibited by the FDA. Now we are seeing problems with the lithium ion batteries that power them as well as other devices. They can explode!
Poʻaono 5/14/2016	Emi ka moe, pākela ka ʻai Laiana Wong	Research has shown that less sleep leads to increased craving for junk food and ultimately to weight gain. The shift in eating choices can occur overnight and lead to a sharp increase in calorie intake. There is an interesting correlation between decreased sleep and increased levels of THC, the same stuff found in marijuana. Trippy!
Poʻaono 5/7/2016	Hilinaʻi i ke aloha makua Laiana Wong	As our elders pass, we are reminded of the lessons they leave for us. The passing of my father-in-law, James Kealoha, has left me with fond memories and valuable life lessons. Itʻs now up to me to pass them on.
Poʻaono 4/30/2016	Ke hiki mai nei ka hopena ʻelemakule? Laiana Wong	Dementia afflicts many of our elders. The signs of its early onset are alarmingly familiar to me, despite my relative youth, and to many others. It has been noted that music can alleviate the pain. So letʻs all sing for our health.
Poʻaono 4/23/2016	Ke wela ke kai, kaulaʻi ka puna i ka lā Laiana Wong	How can people continue to reject the concept of global warming? The evidence is all around us. Now we are witnessing the accelerated bleaching of the worldʻs coral reefs. We should know by now that everything is connected. We canʻt afford to put our heads in the sand.
Poʻaono 4/16/2016	Hele a pipiʻi ka hoʻopiʻi i ke ake kālā Laiana Wong	Lawsuits that would otherwise have been impossible to contest due to a disparity in resources are now being funded by investors hoping to make a profit.
Poʻaono 4/9/2016	E nihi ka hele, mai hoʻopā Kekeha Solis	Itʻs great that two University of Hawaiʻi basketball players will try for the NBA draft. However, they may have stayed for another great year, if there were no NCAA sanctions.
Poʻaono 4/2/2016	Ka wela o ka ua: Hoʻi mai ka hulu alʻi Vanessa Lee Miller	After 237 years, the long-awaited return of the feather cloak and head gear of Kalaniʻōpuʻu, has raised questions about Hawaiʻi's past as we face 21st century issues.
Poʻaono 3/26/2016	He mana anei ko ka ʻōlelo? Laiana Wong	The battle of words between Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz is considered by many to be petty and unpresidential, but in Hawaiian thinking, words are imbued with spiritual power and can cause harm if let loose into the world.
Poʻaono 3/19/2016	E kāhiko paha i ka lehua, ʻaʻole paha? Laiana Wong	With the impending Merrie Monarch hula competition, concern for the protection of ʻōhiʻa lehua trees on Hawaiʻi Island has taken center stage. Hālau depend on the blossoms to adorn their costumes as they prepare to glorify their deity, Laka. But a new type of disease has been wiping out the forests and visiting the uplands to pick lehua will only exacerbate an already dire situation.
Poʻaono 3/12/2016	Kiʻi ʻia ka ʻai ʻiʻo, koʻekoʻe ʻiʻo ka ʻai kiʻi Laiana Wong	Taking pictures of your food and sending them to friends, whether in real life or in cyberspace, is really just a high-tech way to play with food. Researchers in California are claiming thereʻs a link between taking and sending pictures of food to others and an improvement in taste for the sender. But what does it do for the receiver? To some, however, playing with food is a violation of cultural norms.
Poʻaono 3/5/2016	He hoapili anei ʻoe no Lohiʻau? Laiana Wong	What happened to “Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me”? Some words seem to defy that old adage. Language censorship, however, is a slippery slope. It is a precursor to the establishment of word police. We really need to be more civil to each other, not as a matter of law, but as one of choice. Leave the words be.
Poʻaono 2/27/2016	Aia ka hua i ke kali iki Laiana Wong	There is a new device available on the Internet called Google Translate. There are still numerous bugs to work out, but sometime in the future, we might be able to use it to forego writing an English synopsis for this column.
Poʻaono 2/20/2016	He lama ʻā hoʻokahi Joseph Keaweʻaimoku Kaholokula, Laiana Wong	Native Hawaiian health advocate and strong proponent of Hawaiian sovereignty, Richard Kekuni Blaisdell, is gone, but his memory will live on. An oli was written in his honor by one of the authors, Joseph Keaweʻaimoku Kaholokula.
Poʻaono 2/13/2016	Holo ka papa holoholo kū, ʻaʻole e lele Laiana Wong	Hoverboards are deemed too dangerous to take on some commercial airlines. They have been put on the no-fly list. Itʻs probably better to be safe until more is known or the technology is improved.
Poʻaono 2/6/2016	Ke Kupa Pola: E nānā paha, ʻaʻole paha? Laiana Wong	The discovery of chronic traumatic encephalopathy has caused me to reconsider the consequences of watching football and its biggest event, the Super Bowl. What is my responsibility here?

Poʻaono 1/23/2016	Aloha nō kahi ʻIlioki Laiana Wong	Scientists have theorized the existence of a ninth planet in our solar system. There is some evidence to support this but they may push harder to build the controversial Mauna Kea telescope in order to verify it.
Poʻaono 1/16/2016	Dengue: He maʻi na kahi ʻuhane ʻino Laiana Wong	Dengue fever has caused much concern for those living on the Big Island. It would be difficult to prevent the spread to other islands without treading on our freedom.
Poʻaono 1/9/2016	He kanikani no ia mea ʻo ka pū Laiana Wong	President Barack Obama hopes to curb the number of gun-related fatalities by beefing up the restrictions on buyers and by requiring sellers, no matter how much they sell, to register all sales. Why is this so unreasonable to the Republican presidential candidates?
2015
Poʻaono 12/26/2015	Nā kaʻa holo nui i ke alanui Lānui Leslie	Speeding cars in Honolulu pose a constant hazard to pedestrians in marked crosswalks as the rate of fatalities and injuries suffered by pedestrians while using city crosswalks continues to increase.

Maurilani Tsukada	Due to the continuous growth of technology, the number of children growing up watching various types of video screens continues to increase.

Poʻaono 12/5/2015	Auwe, ua hala aku nei o Kalanihookaha Laiana Wong	This is a chant of lamentation for Aunty Aggie Kalanihookaha Cope, an icon of Hawaiian education, politics and the arts. She exemplified the term “doer and shaker” in her work to elevate the condition of the Hawaiian people. We will surely miss her.
Poʻaono 11/28/2015	He aloha no Aunty Aggie Cope Laiana Wong, Margie Maaka	We have just lost one of Hawaii’s living treasures, Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters Agnes Kalanihookaha Cope. She remains a treasure even in passing.

Poʻaono 10/24/2015	Noho au ma Puʻupuʻuʻōpala Kealapiʻiikalani Palakiki	Honolulu Countyʻs bulky refuse pickup is helpful for those who follow the instructions. But the careless discarding of trash and large items on the sides of the roads has the city looking “trashy.” Moreover, the convenience of this disposal program may inhibit the secondary consideration of the itemsʻ usefulness to charitable organizations (e.g., Savers, Salvation Army) that not only provide for those in need but also slow the filling of our islandʻs limited disposal sites.
Poʻaono 10/17/2015	Komo ʻo Huli, pau kaʻu pepa i ke kāmau ʻia Laiana Wong	The emergence of Donald Trump as a serious candidate for president has proved to be more than just showtime. It is likely to increase turnout at the polls, something that has not been seen in a while. This does not bode well for supporters of the Hawaiian independence movement.
Poʻaono 10/10/2015	Ua hana ʻino ʻia ʻo Hāloa Laiana Wong	Who on earth would put explosive ingredients into poi? From the Hawaiian perspective that would be sacrilegious. It is, however, a concern for airport security. I guess there are people out there who are capable of that.
Poʻaono 10/3/2015	ʻO ʻselfʻ ka hua, ʻo wai lā naʻe ke kuhia? Laiana Wong	When we talk about “self determination,” why is it that we are always talking about a group of selves as if they were a united whole with no individual differences?
Poʻaono 9/26/2015	Paʻakikī ka lani, ʻeha ka honua Laiana Wong	The use of research training and revolving funds (RTRF) by University of Hawaii leadership to offset legal costs incurred by delays in construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope ultimately penalizes faculty, none of whom should be culpable for the unwise decisions of those who get paid the big bucks to make them.
Poʻaono 9/19/2015	He Hawaiʻi Alakaʻi, ua moe i ka moe kapu o Niolopua Kekeha Solis	One of our strong and beloved leaders, Leinaala Kalama Heine, has passed away.

Sounds a bit like a lynch mob. Come on now.
Poʻaono 9/5/2015	Hoʻokahi wale nō ala no nā kaʻa kau kahi Laiana Wong	Instead of having a single carpool lane, there should be a single lane set aside for low-occupancy vehicles. That would encourage people to use the rail.

Poʻaono 7/18/2015	ʻO Maui nō paha ka ʻoi akā ʻo Oʻahu nō ka best? Kekeha Solis	The plastic bag reduction ordinance on Oʻahu is a disgrace. There are certain types of products that are exempt from that law, namely, bags used to protect or transport prepared foods, beverages or bakery goods. And that is just the beginning.

Freedom of journalistic expression was the fundamental message of the demonstration, but does the question of roots lie at the bottom of the shooting incidents which shook Paris in January and brought millions to the streets in solidarity with the murdered journalists of Charlie Hebdo?

Poʻaono 12/12/2015	ʻĀkeʻakeʻa ʻia e ka ‘Aha Ho‘okolokolo Ki‘eki‘e Kaʻomakaokala Aki	The Naʻi Aupuni election was set to end on Nov. 30, but the U.S. Supreme Court granted an injunction blocking this Hawaiian self-governance election while the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals considers the opposing case filed by the Grassroot Institute.
Poʻaono 12/19/2015	E nānā paha i ke kīwī, ‘a‘ole paha? Maurilani Tsukada	Due to the continuous growth of technology, the number of children growing up watching various types of video screens continues to increase. Many problems stem from this, but if done in moderation, these technologies can be valuable.
Poʻaono 12/26/2015	Nā kaʻa holo nui i ke alanui Lānui Leslie	Speeding cars in Honolulu pose a constant hazard to pedestrians in marked crosswalks as the rate of fatalities and injuries suffered by pedestrians while using city crosswalks continues to increase.
2016
Poʻaono 1/9/2016	He kanikani no ia mea ʻo ka pū Laiana Wong	President Barack Obama hopes to curb the number of gun-related fatalities by beefing up the restrictions on buyers and by requiring sellers, no matter how much they sell, to register all sales. Why is this so unreasonable to the Republican presidential candidates?
Poʻaono 1/16/2016	Dengue: He maʻi na kahi ʻuhane ʻino Laiana Wong	Dengue fever has caused much concern for those living on the Big Island. It would be difficult to prevent the spread to other islands without treading on our freedom.
Poʻaono 1/23/2016	Aloha nō kahi ʻIlioki Laiana Wong	Scientists have theorized the existence of a ninth planet in our solar system. There is some evidence to support this but they may push harder to build the controversial Mauna Kea telescope in order to verify it.
Poʻaono 1/30/2016	Makaʻu i ka palapala ʻia Laiana Wong	Doxing is a form of cyberbullying that is intended to create fear in the innocent user of social media sites on the Internet by making public their private documents.
Poʻaono 2/6/2016	Ke Kupa Pola: E nānā paha, ʻaʻole paha? Laiana Wong	The discovery of chronic traumatic encephalopathy has caused me to reconsider the consequences of watching football and its biggest event, the Super Bowl. What is my responsibility here?
Poʻaono 2/13/2016	Holo ka papa holoholo kū, ʻaʻole e lele Laiana Wong	Hoverboards are deemed too dangerous to take on some commercial airlines. They have been put on the no-fly list. Itʻs probably better to be safe until more is known or the technology is improved.
Poʻaono 2/20/2016	He lama ʻā hoʻokahi Joseph Keaweʻaimoku Kaholokula, Laiana Wong	Native Hawaiian health advocate and strong proponent of Hawaiian sovereignty, Richard Kekuni Blaisdell, is gone, but his memory will live on. An oli was written in his honor by one of the authors, Joseph Keaweʻaimoku Kaholokula.
Poʻaono 2/27/2016	Aia ka hua i ke kali iki Laiana Wong	There is a new device available on the Internet called Google Translate. There are still numerous bugs to work out, but sometime in the future, we might be able to use it to forego writing an English synopsis for this column.
Poʻaono 3/5/2016	He hoapili anei ʻoe no Lohiʻau? Laiana Wong	What happened to “Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me”? Some words seem to defy that old adage. Language censorship, however, is a slippery slope. It is a precursor to the establishment of word police. We really need to be more civil to each other, not as a matter of law, but as one of choice. Leave the words be.
Poʻaono 3/12/2016	Kiʻi ʻia ka ʻai ʻiʻo, koʻekoʻe ʻiʻo ka ʻai kiʻi Laiana Wong	Taking pictures of your food and sending them to friends, whether in real life or in cyberspace, is really just a high-tech way to play with food. Researchers in California are claiming thereʻs a link between taking and sending pictures of food to others and an improvement in taste for the sender. But what does it do for the receiver? To some, however, playing with food is a violation of cultural norms.
Poʻaono 3/19/2016	E kāhiko paha i ka lehua, ʻaʻole paha? Laiana Wong	With the impending Merrie Monarch hula competition, concern for the protection of ʻōhiʻa lehua trees on Hawaiʻi Island has taken center stage. Hālau depend on the blossoms to adorn their costumes as they prepare to glorify their deity, Laka. But a new type of disease has been wiping out the forests and visiting the uplands to pick lehua will only exacerbate an already dire situation.
Poʻaono 3/26/2016	He mana anei ko ka ʻōlelo? Laiana Wong	The battle of words between Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz is considered by many to be petty and unpresidential, but in Hawaiian thinking, words are imbued with spiritual power and can cause harm if let loose into the world.
Poʻaono 4/2/2016	Ka wela o ka ua: Hoʻi mai ka hulu alʻi Vanessa Lee Miller	After 237 years, the long-awaited return of the feather cloak and head gear of Kalaniʻōpuʻu, has raised questions about Hawaiʻi's past as we face 21st century issues.
Poʻaono 4/9/2016	E nihi ka hele, mai hoʻopā Kekeha Solis	Itʻs great that two University of Hawaiʻi basketball players will try for the NBA draft. However, they may have stayed for another great year, if there were no NCAA sanctions.
Poʻaono 4/16/2016	Hele a pipiʻi ka hoʻopiʻi i ke ake kālā Laiana Wong	Lawsuits that would otherwise have been impossible to contest due to a disparity in resources are now being funded by investors hoping to make a profit.
Poʻaono 4/23/2016	Ke wela ke kai, kaulaʻi ka puna i ka lā Laiana Wong	How can people continue to reject the concept of global warming? The evidence is all around us. Now we are witnessing the accelerated bleaching of the worldʻs coral reefs. We should know by now that everything is connected. We canʻt afford to put our heads in the sand.
Poʻaono 4/30/2016	Ke hiki mai nei ka hopena ʻelemakule? Laiana Wong	Dementia afflicts many of our elders. The signs of its early onset are alarmingly familiar to me, despite my relative youth, and to many others. It has been noted that music can alleviate the pain. So letʻs all sing for our health.
Poʻaono 5/7/2016	Hilinaʻi i ke aloha makua Laiana Wong	As our elders pass, we are reminded of the lessons they leave for us. The passing of my father-in-law, James Kealoha, has left me with fond memories and valuable life lessons. Itʻs now up to me to pass them on.
Poʻaono 5/14/2016	Emi ka moe, pākela ka ʻai Laiana Wong	Research has shown that less sleep leads to increased craving for junk food and ultimately to weight gain. The shift in eating choices can occur overnight and lead to a sharp increase in calorie intake. There is an interesting correlation between decreased sleep and increased levels of THC, the same stuff found in marijuana. Trippy!
Poʻaono 5/21/2016	Kolohe hou mai kahi ʻIona Likiuma Laiana Wong	The sale of e-cigarettes to minors has just been prohibited by the FDA. Now we are seeing problems with the lithium ion batteries that power them as well as other devices. They can explode!
Poʻaono 5/28/2016	He mū ʻo ia! E ao nō ka maʻi! Laiana Wong	A new strain of bacteria has afflicted a Pennsylvania woman, and there is no antibiotic that can combat this “super bug.” Bacteria, like other living organisms, are fighting for survival. They are morphing into drug-resistant strains to stay alive.
Poʻaono 6/4/2016	E kū mai paha ka ʻaoʻao Kūnoa Laiana Wong	Will a Libertarian presidential candidate emerge? There are certainly a lot of disgruntled people who do not like the presumptive nominees of both major parties. Will a third-party candidate reduce the overall support for the ultimate winner?
Poʻaono 6/11/2016	Paʻa ka ʻōlelo, ʻaʻohe e komo Laiana Wong	Censoring of communication is nothing new to prisons. Prisoners, by definition, forfeit some of their rights. Censoring of a language, however, punishes more than just the individual; it punishes an entire group of speakers as well.
Poʻaono 6/18/2016	E ao Hawaiʻi, mai puni iā Maleka! Laiana Wong	Not standing for the “Star Spangled Banner” at Kamehameha Schools' commencement this year was a sign of enlightenment and a testament to knowledge. The school should be proud of its students for taking a seat.
Poʻaono 6/25/2016	Aloha nō kahi Miki ʻIole, ua miki ʻia Laiana Wong	The new Disneyland that is about to open in Shanghai has concerns about the attractiveness of the names of the attractions, even in translation. Some are offputting to the Chinese public and may act counter to their intent. Why is translation necessary anyway? Wouldnʻt it be wiser to come up with names that reflect a Chinese worldview?
Poʻaono 7/2/2016	E kū paha ka uha i ka ʻohe nānā? Laiana Wong	Many people are hesitant to undergo colorectal screening. Some put it off while others never do it. Doctors agree on the benefits of early detection, and there are some new techniques that are less invasive than the traditional colonoscopy.
Poʻaono 7/9/2016	Āhea e pau ai ka luku a ka pū? Laiana Wong	The questionable behavior of a few police officers has spurred protest demonstrations. This week in Dallas, a number of police officers were targeted by a shooter with a semi-automatic weapon. It is critical that we endeavor to de-escalate the proliferation of guns.
Poʻaono 7/16/2016	Wāwahi ʻia ka maluhia a kau mai ka weli Laiana Wong	The escalation of violent acts throughout the world has made people jumpy. This has led to some not–so-well-thought-out reponses, some of which call for a matching of the violence, and others that overly generalize the source of a problem and seek to solve it by engaging in extreme acts that can hurt innocent people.
Poʻaono 7/23/2016	He aloha no ka lama kū o ka Noʻeau Laiana Wong	One of Hawaiʻi's premier educators, and one of my closest friends, Noʻeau Warner, has just passed on. He leaves behind many innovative teaching strategies, but without his talent and dedication the job becomes much more difficult.
Poʻaono 7/30/2016	Hauʻoli Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea Laiana Wong	This yearʻs ceremonies celebrating the restoration of sovereignty to the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi in 1843 are being held today and tomorrow at Thomas Square. Come join in the commemoration of this landmark event.
Poʻaono 8/6/2016	I mea aha ka leʻa ma ka hoʻohāpai wahine? Laiana Wong	Recent research into human reproduction has attempted to account for the difference between genders in the frequency of orgasms during sex. A theory has been proposed suggesting that female orgasm was historically necessary for the production of eggs and is no longer so. It is only one of a number of competing theories.
Poʻaono 8/13/2016	Nā Hoʻokūkū ʻOlimepika Kekeha Solis	There have been a variety of sports in the Olympics since the first modern Olympics in 1896. Finally, surfing will be among them in 2020.
Poʻaono 8/20/2016	Mahalo e nā kūpuna Kekeha Solis	Many thanks to my ancestors for leading me to where I am today and the many people who are a part of my life. This is a story about one of the very dearly loved people who is close to my heart.
Poʻaono 8/27/2016	Mai hoʻomāuna i ka ʻai o huli mai auaneʻi ʻo Hāloa e nānā Kekeha Solis	The World Conservation Congress is coming up next week in Honolulu. Many things are being done to protect our resources.
Poʻaono 9/3/2016	He mahalo no ka wiwo ʻole o Kaepernick Laiana Wong	Americans should support Colin Kaepernick's decision to sit in protest during renditions of the Star-Spangled Banner. The struggle will bring enlightenment and improvements to that nation. It is easy for Americans to turn a blind eye to America's faults by allowing outrage over attempts to effect change obscure the truth.
Poʻaono 9/10/2016	He aha ka hewa o ka moe awakea? Laiana Wong	Research has shown that children who get insufficient sleep are at risk of becoming obese later in life. Being awake and active does not prevent such an outcome. So letʻs all go to sleep earlier!
Poʻaono 9/17/2016	He wai ola paha ko ka paipu loloa? Laiana Wong	The protest in North Dakota against building a 1,170-mile oil pipeline is just one more example of manʻs disregard for the life of the land and for the well-being of the original peoples of the land.
Poʻaono 9/24/2016	Nui ke aloha no Ernie Cruz Jr. Laiana Wong	The passing of Ernie Cruz Jr. will have a profound and lasting effect on all who knew him. His infectious smile and generous nature are reminiscent of older Hawaiians. He was truly a young man with an old soul.
Poʻaono 10/1/2016	ʻO ke kūkae paha ka lāʻau e lapaʻau ai i ka pūhalalū Laiana Wong	Research into the causes of obesity yields preliminary findings linking the diversity of bacteria in feces to lower levels of visceral fat, suggesting that an infusion of feces from persons with lower levels of fat could serve to reduce obesity as well as cardiovascular disease.
Poʻaono 10/8/2016	He ho‘oheno no Keauhou Keawe Lopes	Celebrating the accomplishments of three members of the Tuahine Troupe: Zachary Lum, Nicholas Lum and Jonah Solatorio of the group Keauhou who recently released their debut compact disc recording.
Poʻaono 10/15/2016	No Keliʻi Ruth nei hoʻoheno Keawe Lopes	Celebrating the accomplishment of Keliʻi Ruth, a member of the Tuahine Troupe, on completing his master/apprenticeship with Master Chanter Dr. Kalena Silva.
Poʻaono 10/22/2016	Na Huli ʻo Huli i kāmau ʻino mai Laiana Wong	Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump just trumped himself during the third and final presidential debate by refusing to say whether or not he will accept the outcome of the election. People from both sides of the aisle see this as completely disrespectful of the entire process.
Poʻaono 10/29/2016	Hoʻi ke aloha no ka Holo ʻo Bachman Laiana Wong	I was reminded of when the Hawaiian language community and supporters stormed Bachman Hall at UH to protest the planned termination of a number of our classes.
Poʻaono 11/5/2016	Ola Ka Makapehu Iʻa ʻOle S. Kamakakaulani Gramberg	Lineal descendants and members of the Kaʻūpūlehu Marine Life Advisory Committee have asked us all to “try wait,” by initiating a fishing kapu, rest period, on a 3.6-mile stretch of shoreline from Kīkaua point to Kalaemanō. Combining Hawaiian traditional and customary practices with Western science, these dedicated members have developed a detailed plan to ensure the survival and proliferation of this fishery. This 10-year moratorium, codified by the DLNR, will allow these resources to self-heal and revitalize the quantity of fish to levels of sustainability similar to those that existed prior to Western fishing methods.
Poʻaono 11/12/2016	Ola Ka Makapehu Iʻa ʻOle S. Kamakakaulani Gramberg	Lineal descendants and members of the Kaʻūpūlehu Marine Life Advisory Committee have asked us all to “try wait,” by initiating a fishing kapu, rest period, on a 3.6-mile stretch of shoreline from Kīkaua Point to Kalaemanō. Combining Hawaiian traditional and customary practices with Western science, these dedicated members have developed a detailed plan to ensure the survival and proliferation of this fishery. This 10-year moratorium, codified by the state Department of Land and Natural Resources, will allow these resources to self-heal and revitalize the quantity of fish to levels of sustainability similar to those that existed prior to Western fishing methods.
Poʻaono 11/19/2016	Ka paipu ʻaila ma Dakota ʻĀkau Hoʻolana Purdy, Ioane Goodhue, Lei Fujikane	There are many problems that arise from the proposed North Dakota access pipeline.
Poʻaono 11/26/2016	Hūhewa ke ala kau i ka lewa Kealoha Feliciano, Kiaʻi Mielke, Kanoelani Wong	The rail transit system that links towns and cities together disconnects us from the land and culture. Research shows numerous adverse negative effects of the rail transit system on the island of Oʻahu.
Poʻaono 12/3/2016	He Kaukau Aloha No Keomailani, Ua Hala Kalikoaloha Martin	In loving memory of Keomailani Woolford.
Poʻaono 12/10/2016	Koho hewaʻo Disney i ke ala ʻmi kālā Nahenahe Tomas, Kanaʻi Chock, Kekailoa Perry	Disneyʻs removal of its Maui costume from store shelves was a good thing for Polynesian culture. Understanding cultural appropriation will awaken the colonizing mind to the nature of this type of abuse.
Poʻaono 12/17/2016	He aha ka waiwai o ke mele ʻHawaiʻi Ponoʻīʻ? ʻAnela Texeira, Kuʻupua Silva	Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī has been the state song since 1967 but has been around longer. King David Kalākaua wrote the lyrics to the melody and it was first sung by the Kawaiahaʻo Church Choir on Nov. 16, 1874, on Kalākauaʻs birthday. What most people donʻt know is that there are originally three full verses in the song. However, at the University of Hawaiʻi games, only the first verse and a repeated chorus are sung. How important is it to know and sing the full song of Hawaiʻi?
Poʻaono 12/24/2016	Ka māuikiʻikiʻi o ka hoʻoilo Laiana Wong	We just experienced the winter solstice on Wednesday. It was the shortest day of the year. Although the reasons for naming the events that coincide with the shortest or longest days of a year, or when the length of a day is equal to its corresponding night serve astronomers, the idea of corresponding seasons is odd in Hawaiʻi.
Poʻaono 12/31/2016	Ua ahuwale ka hau o uka Laiana Wong	New technology allows us to view the Earth from space. We can track the distribution of humans, changes in forestation and ice caps, and water use patterns. This could help to authenticate global warming for the few remaining non-believers.
2017
Poʻaono 1/7/2017	E ʻai i ka paka o ka pīneki ʻoi ʻōpiopio Laiana Wong	Peanut allergies may eventually be a thing of the past. Research has shown that children who are fed peanut-based products at the age of 6 months develop immunities to the adverse effects traditionally associated with peanuts.
Poʻaono 1/14/2017	A he ʻuʻa keia ua hiki iho nei Laiana Wong	Defibrillators and pacemakers may soon come under attack by hackers. Our increased dependence on technology to support such health-related advancements leaves those of us dependent on them vulnerable to the whims of such people.
Poʻaono 1/21/2017	Eia mai kahi mūhune ʻino ke laha aʻe nei Laiana Wong	A new type of infectious disease is spreading throughout the world, and the available antibiotics are ineffective against it. The number of cases is growing. Eight months ago, there was only one reported case. That is not so today. What will happen in the next eight months?
Poʻaono 1/28/2017	Paipai ʻo Huli i ia hana ʻo ka hoʻomāinoino hoʻopiholo Laiana Wong	It is not surprising that President Donald Trump is in support of torture by way of waterboarding. Despite studies that have shown the futility of such measures, he still thinks it is an effective deterrent to terrorism. He says that it absolutely works, but how could he really know without personal experience?
Poʻaono 2/4/2017	Ka Makani Kāʻili Aloha Kimo Alama Keaulana	A love story for Valentineʻs Day about a man whose wife left him for another. Donʻt forget to always care for and show your love to your significant other.
Poʻaono 2/11/2017	Ka Makani Kāʻili Aloha Kimo Alama Keaulana	The continuation of last weekʻs love story for Valentineʻs Day about a man whose wife left him for another.
Poʻaono 2/18/2017	Māhuahua nā kīnā i ke oʻo o ka mānaʻai Laiana Wong	Many men will be surprised to learn that fathering children at an advanced age can carry severe consequences for their children's health. There is an increased risk for certain afflictions that will be problematic for the child. The biggest surprise is the actual age that is considered advanced. It can be less than 40.
Poʻaono 2/25/2017	Aia nō kahi ʻIlioki ua paʻa i waho o ke anu Laiana Wong	New efforts are being made to reverse the 2006 decision to revoke Pluto’s status as a planet in our solar system. It is currently labeled a “dwarf planet”. Despite this label, it is not viewed by some as a real planet. Why then call it a “planet”?
Poʻaono 3/4/2017	He aha ia mea he pākeneka koko Hawaiʻi? Laiana Wong	Hawaiian Home Lands is a misnomer. They should really be Hawaiian lands. By buying into the blood quantum requirements, we are complicit in our own colonization. Until such time that we are able to exercise our sovereignty, we should probably honor the 1/32 quantum espoused by Kūhiō.
Poʻaono 3/11/2017	E kaukaʻi paha ka DHHL i ka DNA? Laiana Wong	What are the limits of DNA testing for ancestry, and can it be utilized fairly? Further investigation is needed before implementation. Invoking scientific methods should not be inconsistent. Either do it all the way or donʻt do it at all.
Poʻaono 3/18/2017	Hōlapu ke ahi, koe iho ka lehu Kekeha Solis	Road rage is something probably everybody experiences, but we should find ways to curb it because the consequences may be permanent. Getting angry does not solve anything. Letʻs heed some of the words from our kūpuna.
Poʻaono 3/25/2017	Ka mohala ʻana mai o ka ʻōlelo kanaka Laiana Wong	The Hawaiian language is making a comeback from the brink of death. The initial shift away from a thriving history, however, should serve to remind us of its fragile nature. Just one generation of neglect, and it could be gone.
Poʻaono 4/1/2017	Pila pilo: ʻAʻohe heluna kālā e ʻaʻala ai Laiana Wong	North Carolina, reeling from lost revenues because of fallout from its “bathroom bill,” has just passed a new version. Both the proponents of the original bill and its opponents find themselves aligned in opposition to the new version.
Poʻaono 4/8/2017	Eia aʻe kahi makani ʻino ke pā mai nei Laiana Wong	We should all be concerned that Donald Trump has chosen to respond to violence with violence. The attack on Syria could easily escalate into something more serious, especially if Russia enters the fray.
Poʻaono 4/15/2017	Ua Lele Kohala Keawe Lopes	With great love and remembrance for a dearly loved Kohala who recently left this life on Earth.
Poʻaono 4/22/2017	Aia ka ‘ai ma mua o ka i’a Laiana Wong	As we engage in the regenesis of Hawaiian, it is important to preserve whatever we can. Because most speakers today are first-language speakers of English, English word order tends to inform the new Hawaiian. We should attend to this lest it be said that we speak English in Hawaiian.
Poʻaono 4/29/2017	Kuʻia nā hoa makalauna o ka lewa Kanoelani Wong	The scandal involving the overbooked United Airlines flight and the passenger who was dragged off the plane created quite a public relations stir. It is clear that United has alternative ways of handling the situation but chose a path that would make it pay.
Poʻaono 5/6/2017	Hoʻomanaʻo ʻia ke Alamo? Laiana Wong	The story of what happened at the Alamo glorifies land-grabbing slave owners while treating native peoples as if they were nonexistent.
Poʻaono 5/13/2017	He mea pahū ke kamepiula Laiana Wong	In the name of safety, the Department of Homeland Security is banning laptop computers and other small electronic items from being carried onto aircraft. Is this about safety or repression?
Poʻaono 5/20/2017	Mahalo ka mea loaʻa o hoka auaneʻi Laiana Wong	I have recently begun to worry that Donald Trump might actually be impeached. That would be very, very bad. Trump offers the best chance for the resurgence of a liberal agenda. Besides, who would step in and provide the entertainment?
Poʻaono 5/27/2017	Nā Hōkū ʻōlinolino o Kawaihuelani Annette Kuuipolani Wong	Congratulations to the group Keauhou for the Nā Hōkū Hanohano awards it has received.
Poʻaono 6/3/2017	Mō ke kī lā make Kekeha Solis	Similarities of the story of Kalapana with whatʻs going on in America.
Poʻaono 6/10/2017	Mauiakama: Aloha ʻāina ʻoiaʻiʻo Laiana Wong	Valuable lessons are available at language immersion camps such as Mauiakama but language learning is not the most important. Caring for the land because the land takes care of us, is a basic obligation. Language only supports the process.
Poʻaono 6/17/2017	Hōkūleʻa, ka waʻa kaʻapuni honua Laiana Wong	On its maiden voyage to Tahiti in 1976, Hōkūleʻa was captained by Kāwika Kapahulehua. He was a Hawaiian language speakers who in his later years taught language students at the University of Hawaii. Hōkūleʻa has just returned from a voyage around the world and will anchor off Ala Moana Park on Saturday.
Poʻaono 6/24/2017	Pūhā hewa ka honu i ka lā makani Laiana Wong	Got a problem with the traffic at Laniākea and want to move the turtles? Let’s not blame it on them. In what way is it their fault? It is a human problem requiring a solution respectful of nature.
Poʻaono 7/1/2017	He lāʻau ʻino a hōʻea mai i o kākou nei Laiana Wong	Hawaiʻi has not escaped the opioid epidemic that is devastating communities all over the world. Over the past 10 years, opioid-related deaths in Hawaiʻi have increased by 83 percent. Something needs to be done and we all need to be part of the solution.
Poʻaono 7/8/2017	Lei Kaʻapuni Honua: He ʻaha ʻawa Laiana Kanoa-Wong	The triumphant return of Hōkūleʻa on June 17 was celebrated with an ʻawa ceremony to honor and signify the completion of the Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage. Here is an account of this unique ceremony.
Poʻaono 7/15/2017	Mai hoʻonui wale i ka ʻino Laiana Wong	So much negative press has surrounded this presidency, much of which predates the election. The negative reports should be curtailed so that truly egregious acts will be recognized as such, and not seen as normal behavior. This is not an issue of accuracy. It is about avoiding apathy.
Poʻaono 7/22/2017	Nā ipo liʻiliʻi hoʻokuʻi i ka puʻuwai Laiana Wong, Christine Ambrosino	A type of vegetation that grows only in Hawaiʻi, particularly on the North facing side of Moku o Loʻe, has been called Halophila hawaiiana by the scientific community, and is commonly referred to as seagrass. What can we call it in Hawaiian? Some high school science students have an idea.
Poʻaono 7/29/2017	Haipule o nā kūpuna ma Kawaiahaʻo Kolomona Nakatsuka	Kawaiahaʻo Church held services in the Hawaiian language last Sunday in order to minister to Oʻahu’s Hawaiian language community. This will greatly support Hawaiian language restoration.
Poʻaono 8/5/2017	Ea aʻe i luna, a kū kiaʻi mauna Laiana Wong	Protectors practicing nonviolent resistance were forcibly removed from the road to the summit of Haleakalā by police. Why does the University of Hawaii support the Hōkūleʻa but is willing to desecrate our mountain?
Poʻaono 8/12/2017	Eia nō kahi Hawaiʻi ua kaulona ʻia Laiana Wong	The latest crisis facing the Trump administration seems like a game of chicken, and Hawaiʻi could be the collision point. Contrary to popular received wisdom, Hawaiʻi would be much safer if we were under our own control. Americaʻs illegitimate control of our islands has placed us in the crosshairs of North Korea.
Poʻaono 8/19/2017	Kaiakahinaliʻi: Ahu mōkākī ka puna i uka Laiana Wong	Global warming has exacerbated the problem of rising sea levels. Record king tides are expected to become the norm in the near future, inundating coastal cities. And some folks still refuse to acknowledge the serious ramifications of global warming, let alone the fact that it even exists.
Poʻaono 8/26/2017	E kūʻēʻē ʻia ka hoʻokae ʻili, he hana ʻino Laiana Wong	The American Educational Research Association has released a statement condemning the recent violent events in Charlottesville, Va. A Hawaiian version of the statement appears below.
Poʻaono 9/2/2017	Uē ka lani, uē pū me ko ka honua Laiana Wong	News of the flooding from tropical storm Harvey has reached just about everyone by now. The little bit of flooding I had at my house in Kāneʻohe during the rains on Tuesday pales in comparison to the devastation in Texas and Louisiana.
Poʻaono 9/9/2017	Kalaʻihi ka lā, kūpilikiʻʻi ka honua Laiana Wong	The world experienced some very powerful solar flares this week. Such dramatic events can have serious consequences. They can also produce beautiful skies. World leaders should be more positive in outlook.
Poʻaono 9/16/2017	Hawahawa ka lima o ke kālepa kaʻa Laiana Wong	The living conditions following Harvey and Irma have been miserable, but the generosity of people has emerged. This is now being overshadowed by those who, among other questionable activities, are reselling damaged cars without proper disclosure, as required by law.

Poʻaono 9/30/2017	E noho paʻa e nā hoa kūpaʻa i ke kūpono Laiana Wong	Standing or kneeling for the American flag is a right supposedly guaranteed by what the flag symbolizes. Donʻt fall for the Trump misdirection play. Stay the course until true equality reigns.
Poʻaono 10/7/2017	Ua lawa anei ka hana ʻino a ka pū? Laiana Wong	The mass shooting in Las Vegas is just one more piece of evidence that supports a bipartisan move for more extensive gun control laws. People kill people, but guns kill lots of people. Self-defense cannot be a defense for guns if no one has them.
Poʻaono 10/14/2017	Hoʻohāliʻaliʻa i ka Mōʻīwahine aloha Kekeha Solis	A wonderful exhibit in remembrance of Queen Liliʻuokalani. The exhibit, curated by Keahiahi Long, has been on display in Hamilton Library at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
Poʻaono 10/21/2017	He maʻi ʻino e huikau ai ka waihona noʻonoʻo Laiana Wong	Researchers are making headway in their efforts to understand the causes of obsessive compulsive disorder. Interestingly, some of the genes in which certain mutations occur that seem to be linked to OCD are the same as those found in animals with similar disorders.
Poʻaono 10/28/2017	Pehea lā ka puana ʻana i ka wē? Laiana Wong	The “w” in Hawaiian today is sometimes pronounced like an English “w” and sometimes like an English “v”. Whatʻs up with that?
Poʻaono 11/4/2017	Ka pūkaʻina kahului pōhili puni honua o 2017 Laiana Wong	The Houston Astros are the 2017 Major League Baseball champions, having defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in a hard-fought seven-game series. Houston centerfielder George Springer, who had a tremendous series both at the plate and in the field, was named MVP. His real MVP work, however, might be what he does off the field.
Poʻaono 11/11/2017	He aha lā hoʻi kēlā mea e kau mai ala i luna? Laiana Wong	Ignorance is revealed in many ways. Knowing oneʻs place is more valuable than knowing what one might view as fact.
Poʻaono 11/18/2017	Mahuka ka pupule ma Kāneʻohe Laiana Wong	The escape of Randall Saito from the Kāneʻohe State Hospital this past Sunday sent shivers throughout the island. There is a lot of blame to go around and the protocols definitely need more vigilant enforcement, but more importantly, the health care system needs to provide more effective help to those who need it.
Poʻaono 11/25/2017	E ʻaʻala anei ka pua i kona inoa? Laiana Wong	Names that have been suggested for the rail stations by a HART committee do not have meanings that reflect the history and the issues surrounding the project. They should have names that are informative.
Poʻaono 12/2/2017	E mau ka pono o ka Lā Kūʻokoʻa Laiana Wong	Sir George Simpson of the Hudson Bay Company is one of the lesser known plenipotentiary envoys sent by Kauikeaouli to America and Europe to secure a treaty recognizing Hawaii as an independent state.
Poʻaono 12/9/2017	Nalo ka wahine i loko o ka huaʻōlelo aikāne Laiana Wong	There is an implication attached to the word aikāne, that it only applies to males. Females are not represented based on its overt construction. Its meaning, generally understood through English translations, can carry negative connotations.
Poʻaono 12/16/2017	Na ke kāleka ia e hōʻoia i ke kanaka? Laiana Wong	If you have to renew your state ID, be sure to take all the necessary documents — birth certificate, Social Security card, and two documents verifying your resident address.
Poʻaono 12/23/2017	Nō ka wai ʻino, ʻinoʻino ka ʻāina Laiana Wong	Many homes in Hawaiʻi are still utilizing cesspools to handle wastewater. This is not a sustainable practice as it could ultimately seep into our sources of drinking water.
Poʻaono 12/30/2017	E kū kaʻeo i ke kalaʻihi o Maleka Laiana Wong, Kekailoa Perry	Whereas Hawaiian is one of two official languages of the state, a defendant should be allowed to present a defense in Hawaiian, and not be forced to operate within the limitations of English.

Poʻaono 1/6/2018	Halihali ʻia ka huaale lāʻau pā ma ka leka Laiana Wong	A pilot program involving four states, including Hawaiʻi, that offers abortion approval by teleconference with a doctor has invited protest. Is this about abortion rights or abortion procedures?
Poʻaono 1/13/2018	ʻInoʻino ke kai ua ʻau ʻia e ke kae Laiana Wong	Unusually high levels of enterococci bacteria have been reported in the waters off Ala Moana Beach. In fact, there is about eight times the allowable amount. It is not known what has caused the spike in bacteria, but people are being notified not to swim there.
Poʻaono 1/20/2018	Kani ke oeoe, he piʻoloke ko ka ʻāina Laiana Wong	The nuclear missile alarm caused serious consternation, but people remained courteous on the roads. As for the assignment of blame, we should look no further than the two despotic leaders who are peddling fear. Lock ’em up and let ’em fight each other.
Poʻaono 1/27/2018	Kīhēhē wale aku ka poʻe Hawaiʻi i ke au iā Maleka Kekailoa Perry, Laiana Wong	A court case on Maui has brought attention to Hawaiian rights with respect to the domains of language use. Kaleikoa Kaeo has chosen to present his case through the medium of Hawaiian, but the judge has denied his right to do so. As his rights are stripped away, he becomes increasingly invisible; and so do we.
Poʻaono 2/3/2018	Aloha nō kahi keiki ʻike ʻole i ka helu pō Laiana Wong	I’m sure the super blue blood moon that made a rare appearance early Wednesday morning in our skies was something to behold. Those lucky enough to see it will no doubt cherish it forever. Are there words in Hawaiian to indicate such an event? Let us know.
Poʻaono 2/10/2018	He hāwaʻe ʻiʻo ʻole ka unuhi Laiana Wong	People are now allowed to provide testimony in Hawaiian during court proceedings. The catch is that an English translation must be provided. This is a vacuous concession.
Poʻaono 2/17/2018	Hilahila ʻoe, make ʻoe Laiana Wong	Shame can be detrimental to aspirations, and so we often see it as a bad thing. However, there is value to keeping a little bit of shame around to prevent us from being too audacious and to remind us that we are social creatures whose actions affect others. My friend, Noʻeau Warner, taught me that.
Poʻaono 2/24/2018	Mai makaʻu i ka manioka, hiki ke ʻai ʻia Laiana Wong	It is possible to eat cassava root, but it must be cleaned properly or the outer bark of the root, and the layer immediately below that, are toxic and can cause death. Nothing to fear. I tried it and I am writing this article. It tastes like potato.
Poʻaono 3/3/2018	E ʻimi i ke ola ma waho aku o ka pū Kolomona Nakatsuka	Recent gun violence has raised the issue of gun control. Although guns enable us to protect ourselves from the government, we shouldnʻt have to rely on something so dangerous as our only check on runaway government.
Poʻaono 3/10/2018	Na ke ola e kūpale i ka make i ʻole e haumia Kekailoa Perry	Cultural differences come to a head on Maui. Developers unearth bones from an ancient burial site in order to construct a restroom. Protesters put their safety on the line to protect the site.

Poʻaono 3/31/2018	Ua pili anei ka make i ka makemake? Laiana Wong	English glosses of Hawaiian words can offer false equivalencies that effectively alter their intended meanings. Translation will ultimately supplant traditional Hawaiian worldviews through the perversion of meaning.
Poʻaono 4/7/2018	ʻUʻuku ka uku ke ʻuʻu ka ʻuku Laiana Wong	Very few words have been borrowed from Hawaiian into English. The borrowing has been done in the opposite direction. This balance of trade is untenable if we are concerned with the health of the Hawaiian language and the maintenance of Hawaiian worldviews.
Poʻaono 4/14/2018	He mana ko ka inoa, ʻaʻole e kapakapa wale ʻia aku Laiana Wong	I no longer call President Donald Trump “Huli” for a number of reasons. For one, it is a very important word in traditional Hawaiian. These meanings should be thought of first, before thinking of the introduced card game.
Poʻaono 4/21/2018	Kani ē ka ʻōlē walo i ke kula i Mannahatta Laiana Wong	People in New York employ their car horns indiscriminately. It is clearly not intended to effect change in the behavior of other drivers. It seems more like griping, a form of self-therapy.

Poʻaono 5/5/2018	No wai ka mana koho pāloka? Laiana Wong	Perhaps the legal voting age in the U.S. should be lowered from 18 to 16. The long- running social experiment recognizing a magical cut-off between one day before the 18th birthday and one day after, has not worked out well for Americans.
Poʻaono 5/12/2018	Pehea ana lā ka manaʻo o Pele? Laiana Wong	Pele is showing her displeasure. This could be the result of the persistent efforts to tap a clean energy source in geothermal. What we think is good for the Earth may not agree with Pele.
Poʻaono 5/19/2018	Kū kilakila ana ʻo Akaka Kekeha Solis	Services for former U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka at the Capitol and at Kawaiahaʻo Church take place this weekend.
Poʻaono 5/26/2018	Makehewa ka lele kapuahi o kā kākou kālā Laiana Wong	There are many issues to consider when voting in November. With respect to the rail system, I have spoken consistently against it and the associated cost overruns. Which of the major candidates for governor is of like mind? My vote goes there.
Poʻaono 6/2/2018	ʻO ka ʻino i ʻike ahuwale ʻia, e aho ia i ka hana malū Laiana Wong	Roseanne Barr is paying a heavy price for issuing racist statements at once offensive and unchecked. I would rather be clear about where people stand than have to worry about the quiet racist who bides his time waiting for an opportunity to act on his skewed thoughts. This is the downside of political correctness.
Poʻaono 6/9/2018	Ua kanono maoli ka hoʻopaʻi Kekeha Solis	The commuting of sentences by the president is wonderful for the people whose sentences are commuted or pardoned. However, the president and other government officials need to do more concerning the justice system and incarceration.
Poʻaono 6/16/2018	Kū kaʻapā iā Hawaiʻi, he aloha ʻāina Kekeha Solis	The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency did not ban the use of the pesticide chemical chlorpyrifos on crops. Hawai‘i is the first state to do so and hopefully, other states will follow.
Poʻaono 6/23/2018	He waiwai ʻokoʻa ia mea ʻo ke ‘komo kaimana’ Laiana Wong	Diamonds from outer space were found in an asteroid that landed in Syria, suggesting that our understanding of the creation of the universe could change. Diamonds contained in the asteroid and the material found inside those diamonds indicate that our beginnings were not what we had thought.
Poʻaono 6/30/2018	Ka hoʻokae komoneʻe: ʻo ia hoʻokamani nō ʻo Maleka Laiana Wong	The hypocrisy of America is astounding. A country stolen from its indigenous peoples, and now claiming to take in people from all over who are “yearning to breathe free,” is now recanting.
Poʻaono 7/7/2018	Hoʻolauleʻa hoʻokamani na ke aupuni hoʻokolonaio Laiana Wong	As Hawaii celebrates the intriguing story of American independence, we should remember that our legitimate sovereign nation was illegally annexed by a country that stole its land base from other native peoples.
Poʻaono 7/14/2018	Pūʻali ka hau o ʻIolekaʻa i ka maile pilau Laiana Wong	The maile pilau has become a serious problem in Hawaiʻi, creeping into peopleʻs yards and choking out trees and even some native vegetation. I do not believe the solution lies in poisoning this pest. That would only serve to poison the land.
Poʻaono 7/21/2018	Alu ka pule i Hakalau Kekeha Solis	Because of the loss of Officer Bronson K. Kaliloa, there is a concentrated effort to find his killer. However, there also should be a united effort to create better avenues for the incarcerated population instead of only making stricter laws and more severe penalties.
Poʻaono 7/28/2018	Ahuwale ana ka pū o ka halihali ākea ʻia mai Laiana Wong	The second amendment rights of a Hawaiʻi man have been upheld, allowing him to carry a handgun for protection. In what way does this protect the populace?
Poʻaono 8/4/2018	Ua mau anei ka pono o nā kānaka ʻōiwi? Laiana Wong	The Restoration Day celebration at Thomas Square, where the Hawaiian flag now flies alone, gives hope to those of us who support a completely independent Hawaiʻi.
Poʻaono 8/11/2018	He aloha ē ka iʻa i ka poke ʻia Laiana Wong	The appropriation of language is certainly of importance, but we must not forget some of the more egregious inequities inherent to existence under colonial rule.
Poʻaono 8/18/2018	Alohe ē ke ʻahi i ka pokē ʻia Laiana Wong	This week, we continue our examination of the word “pokē” (as it is spelled on the Aloha Pokē Website), and whether or not it is a real Hawaiian word. If it is not, should we be concerned about its co-option?
Poʻaono 8/25/2018	Eia aʻe kahi makani pāhili ʻo Lane: Aloha ʻino kākou! Laiana Wong	As we prepare for Hurricane Lane, we should exercise more aloha by not overstocking on certain necessities. We should remember that others have similar needs.
Poʻaono 9/1/2018	He aloha ka mahalo i ke kūʻai ʻia Laiana Wong	Making money by selling Mahaloha burgers (mahalo + aloha) decreases markedly the value of Hawaiian words in Hawaiʻi. This callous disregard for such important Hawaiian words represents a net loss for the Hawaiian language.
Poʻaono 9/8/2018	I pau ke kulopia, me ka peluluka, a me ka mū ʻuala hoʻi Keoni Ezell	Growing sustainable traditional crops, as our ancestors did, can be a difficult undertaking. Invasive pests that were not present before are but one of the many challenges facing farmers today. For those growing sweet potatoes, one must remain forever vigilant against the sweet potato weevil (Cylas formicarius).
Poʻaono 9/15/2018	He Ahi ʻĀ Nopu Hōʻae Hauʻoli Lorenzo-Elarco	A catastrophic fire destroys nearly the entire collection of a Brazil museum, including an important Hawaiian gift.

Poʻaono 9/22/2018	He hana kā Hirono? He oki loa paha kā Kavanaugh Laiana Wong	Political positions lie on a continuum. U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono’s is closer to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s than mine, as a captive participant in American politics.
Poʻaono 9/29/2018	I Mea Aha Nā Moʻolelo Beau Shishido	This article is about a new movie project entitled “The King” and the casting of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Kamehameha Pai‘ea. This choice has generated much controversy.
Poʻaono 10/6/2018	Ka pali kahakō lele a koaʻe Miki Cook	The double doors fronting Webster Hall have remained partially inoperable due to the inability of the makai facing entry to open properly. While student fees and tuition have risen consistently, services seem to have declined.
Poʻaono 10/13/2018	Nele i ka Hakahaka Pani ʻOle ʻIa Kolomona Nakatsuka	Synopsis: It is difficult to find Hawaiian-speaking substitute teachers for immersion schools. Students suffer as a result. If you speak Hawaiian, you might consider applying.
Poʻaono 10/20/2018	E Hawaiʻi ke kula, e Hawaiʻi ke kanaka Ākea Kahikina	Pīkoʻokoʻo is a Native Hawaiian initiative designed to transform UH-Mānoa into a Hawaiian Place of Learning. Can UH-Mānoa promote a Hawaiian sense of place without excluding students who do not share these values?
Poʻaono 10/27/2018	A ka International Market Place ʻo Kalani Kaimana Chock	During a recent stroll through the International Market Place, the author pondered the state of authentic Hawaiian cultural representation in Waikīkī. The IMP’s “Celestial Pool” reminded him of more dire issues facing the Hawaiian community.
Poʻaono 11/3/2018	ʻOi kau ka lā Kahanuola Tabor	The Lanikai pillbox trail in Kailua, O‘ahu, is a well-known family-friendly hike that is traversed daily by the hundreds. You may, however, want to reconsider bringing the family dog along, due to the high risk of heat stroke and heat exhaustion.
Poʻaono 11/10/2018	He aupuni hoʻokamani: no ka lehulehu na ka lehulehu Kekailoa Perry, Laiana Wong	“For the people, by the people,” that is the hypocrisy of democracy. This idea is not an easy one to swallow for the many whose trust in democracy is implicit.
Poʻaono 11/17/2018	Ili ka waʻa ma nā kapakai o Punipainu Laiana Wong	The dominance of verbal constructions in Hawaiian may be due to English influence. More traditional writings exhibit a better balance between verbal and nominal forms.
Poʻaono 11/24/2018	ʻAʻole hiki ke hōʻino i kahi mea ua ʻino? Kekailoa Perry, Laiana Wong	The state has decided that since the summit of Mauna a Wakea has already been developed, there is no danger that further development will degrade the already degraded.
Poʻaono 12/1/2018	Lele paha i ka pō ke poʻouli Hauʻoli Lorenzo-Elarco	Another unique native bird might be extinct. What is our responsibility as Hawaiians and people of Hawaiʻi to conserve the precious creatures that also call Hawaiʻi home?

Poʻaono 12/22/2018	Puhi holo wale, ʻaʻohe pāpalekimo Laiana Wong	“Stealthing,” or removing a condom during sex without a partnerʻs knowledge, can now merit criminal consequences, although not yet in America. The word is catching on.
Poʻaono 12/29/2018	Ka haunaele a Trump ma Suria Laiana Wong	Donald Trumpʻs decision to withdraw forces from Syria is viewed as unwise, but his reasons for doing what he does tend to align with his own self-interests. Perhaps something will motivate him to withdraw from Hawaiʻi.
2019
Poʻaono 1/5/2019	Nā hoʻohiki o ka makahiki hou Laiana Wong	Making a New Yearʻs resolution, whether publicly or privately, reveals a sense of power or control in affecting future outcomes. It is a bit overreaching from the perspective of one who abdicates control over fate.
Poʻaono 1/12/2019	Hakakā kūloko no ka hoʻomana o Loko Laiana Wong	U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono and U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, half of Hawai‘i’s congressional delegation, are at odds over the nature of questioning in the vetting of a judge selected for U.S. Circuit Court. Claims of religious bigotry are raised.
Poʻaono 1/19/2019	Hoʻokahuli aupuni: Piha nā makahiki he 126 Laiana Wong	126 years have passed since the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. As we remember this, we are reminded that the right to utilize our language has been effectively overthrown as well.

Poʻaono 2/9/2019	Mahalua ka mahaʻoi mai uka a kai Laiana Wong	First the telescopes, then the whales, and now the wēkiu bug. In each case, traditional Hawaiian values are subjugated to unyielding Western control.
Poʻaono 2/16/2019	E akaaka anei i ke kahako a me ka okina? Laiana Wong	A bill was just passed by the Legislature requiring the use of macrons and glottal stops in all government papers, signs and seals. Although it appears to be benign, there is opposition.
Poʻaono 2/23/2019	Lele ka ʻanae i ke alo pali o Nuʻuanu Laiana Wong	The Nuʻuanu Pali Tunnels were closed this week due to landslides. Given the history, i.e., the numerous soldiers who fell to their deaths at the Battle of Nuʻuanu, will drivers be hesitant to take that route? I will.
Poʻaono 3/2/2019	He aloha nō ʻo Kapūkakī, ua piha i ka ʻailea Laiana Wong	The U.S. Navyʻs fuel storage tanks buried at Kapūkaki (Red Hill) have leaked in the past. In what way can this be good for Oahuʻs drinking water, which is located nearby?

Poʻaono 3/16/2019	I ikeia no ke kanaka no kekahi lahui ma kana olelo Laiana Wong	As Hawaiians, we have to seek the blessing of the state, under its laws, in order to normalize our language. That path has led us nowhere!
Poʻaono 3/23/2019	Kōlea nō ke kōlea i kona inoa iho Laiana Wong	After the terrorist massacre in Aotearoa, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has chosen not to mention the name of the suspect. Being sentenced to obscurity seems most appropriate.
Poʻaono 3/30/2019	No ka bila kānāwai, he kinai ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi Sabrina Kamakakaulani Gramberg	Miscommunications, mistranslations and missed opportunities. As the world celebrates the Year of Indigenous Languages, state decision makers, Hawaiian language speakers and community advocates have passed up a chance to add critical and long overdue statutory protections for Hawaiʻi's own indigenous language and the Hawaiian language community in the state’s 30th legislative session.
Poʻaono 4/6/2019	ʻAkahi a komo ke anu iaʻu, ua nahā ka hale e malu ai Kekeha Solis	People with kidney disease have options to choose from for dialysis: peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis.

Kuanoni Kaniaupio-Crozier	Hawaiian Airlinesʻ recent changes to its airfare, loyalty program and seating classes have left loyal local customers feeling abandoned by the airline bearing the name of their home state.

Laiana Wong	In an ostensible effort to improve the state of humankind, scientists have developed a genetically modified salmon that matures to market size in half the time that it takes its natural counterpart.

Poʻaono 7/13/2019	E akahele o loaʻa mai i ka huʻi o ka wai Laiana Wong	Hydrocution, or cold water shock, can be deadly. Many people are unaware of this; as was I until three people died in the recent heat wave in France. What should it be called in Hawaiian?
Poʻaono 7/20/2019	Piʻi hewa ʻia ka mauna, piʻi pū me ke kai Laiana Wong	Contention on Maunakea reveals guns on one side and aloha on the other.

Poʻaono 8/10/2019	He wahi aʻo Hawaiʻi, no ka Hawaiʻi, na ka Hawaiʻi? Laiana Wong	In order to claim to be a Hawaiian place of learning, the learning must be determined by Hawaiians. If the University of Hawaiʻi were run by Hawaiians, it would not be necessary to call it a Hawaiian place of learning.
Poʻaono 8/17/2019	Ulupuni ʻo Mauna Kea i ia mea he kānāwai Margaret Maaka, Laiana Wong	At a legislative briefing about the Mauna Kea Access Road, state Sen.

Hauʻoli lua ka poʻe ʻōiwi o ʻnia? Laiana Wong	Poʻaono 2/5/2011	Many of the indigenous Dalit people of India live in abject poverty with literally no pot to urinate in. Such abject poverty is certainly difficult for us to imagine.
Hawahawa ka lima o ke kālepa kaʻa Laiana Wong	Poʻaono 9/16/2017	The living conditions following Harvey and Irma have been miserable, but the generosity of people has emerged.

He aha ia mea he pākeneka koko Hawaiʻi? Laiana Wong	Poʻaono 3/4/2017	Hawaiian Home Lands is a misnomer. They should really be Hawaiian lands. By buying into the blood quantum requirements, we are complicit in our own colonization. Until such time that we are able to exercise our sovereignty, we should probably honor the 1/32 quantum espoused by Kūhiō.
He aha ka hewa o ka moe awakea? Laiana Wong	Poʻaono 9/10/2016	Research has shown that children who get insufficient sleep are at risk of becoming obese later in life. Being awake and active does not prevent such an outcome. So letʻs all go to sleep earlier!

He hāwaʻe ʻiʻo ʻole ka unuhi Laiana Wong	Poʻaono 2/10/2018	People are now allowed to provide testimony in Hawaiian during court proceedings. The catch is that an English translation must be provided. This is a vacuous concession.

Kaleikoa Kaeo, Kekailoa Perry, Laiana Wong	Poʻaono 4/25/2020	This is a continuation of last week’s article about the use of Hawaiian words in the University of Hawaii’s strategic plan. If the words do not match the actions, their values are undermined. In this case, they are undermined by an institution that has a record of subjugating Hawaiians.
He ho‘oheno no Keauhou Keawe Lopes	Poʻaono 10/8/2016	Celebrating the accomplishments of three members of the Tuahine Troupe: Zachary Lum, Nicholas Lum and Jonah Solatorio of the group Keauhou who recently released their debut compact disc recording.

He hoapili anei ʻoe no Lohiʻau? Laiana Wong	Poʻaono 3/5/2016	What happened to “Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me”? Some words seem to defy that old adage. Language censorship, however, is a slippery slope. It is a precursor to the establishment of word police. We really need to be more civil to each other, not as a matter of law, but as one of choice. Leave the words be.
He hoehaʻa ko ka ʻōlelo Laiana Wong	Lāpule 10/26/2008	Unsubstantiated claims abound during this presidential election. Who can we really trust?

He kino wai ko Europa e ola ai ka lā make wai? Laiana Wong	Poʻaono 3/7/2020	Astronomers have seen streams of what appears to be water spouting out of Europa, one of the moons of Saturn. This suggests that life can be sustained there. It is an interesting discovery, but it does not justify desecrating sacred sites of Hawaiʻi with giant telescopes.
He kulanui aloha aina o UHM? Kaleikoa Kaeo, Kekailoa Perry, Laiana Wong	Poʻaono 4/18/2020	The use of the term "aloha aina" as a motto for an institution that has shown little aloha for the aina, or for the people whose aina it is, it truly misguided.

Laiana Wong	Poʻaono 8/22/2009	Since Hawaiʻi was never legally annexed to the U.S., but is currently under U.S. occupation, the fact that Barack Obama was born here in Hawaiʻi calls his presidency into question because, under the laws of occupation, he cannot be a natural-born U.S. citizen.

Poʻaono 4/18/2020	He kulanui aloha aina o UHM? (Kaleikoa Kaeo, Kekailoa Perry, Laiana Wong)	The use of the term "aloha aina" as a motto for an institution that has shown little aloha for the aina, or for the people whose aina it is, it truly misguided.

Poʻaono 12/30/2017	E kū kaʻeo i ke kalaʻihi o Maleka (Laiana Wong, Kekailoa Perry)	Whereas Hawaiian is one of two official languages of the state, a defendant should be allowed to present a defense in Hawaiian, and not be forced to operate within the limitations of English.

Poʻaono 12/17/2016	He aha ka waiwai o ke mele ʻHawaiʻi Ponoʻīʻ? (ʻAnela Texeira, Kuʻupua Silva)	Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī has been the state song since 1967 but has been around longer. King David Kalākaua wrote the lyrics to the melody and it was first sung by the Kawaiahaʻo Church Choir on Nov. 16, 1874, on Kalākauaʻs birthday. What most people donʻt know is that there are originally three full verses in the song. However, at the University of Hawaiʻi games, only the first verse and a repeated chorus are sung. How important is it to know and sing the full song of Hawaiʻi?

Poʻaono 12/17/2016	He aha ka waiwai o ke mele ʻHawaiʻi Ponoʻīʻ? (ʻAnela Texeira, Kuʻupua Silva)	Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī has been the state song since 1967 but has been around longer. King David Kalākaua wrote the lyrics to the melody and it was first sung by the Kawaiahaʻo Church Choir on Nov. 16, 1874, on Kalākauaʻs birthday. What most people donʻt know is that there are originally three full verses in the song. However, at the University of Hawaiʻi games, only the first verse and a repeated chorus are sung. How important is it to know and sing the full song of Hawaiʻi?

Understanding cultural appropriation will awaken the colonizing mind to the nature of this type of abuse.

Lāpule 1/14/2007	Pehea ke aʻo a ke kōlea?	Although there is nothing wrong with teaching our children world history, what is it worth if they don't know anything about their own history? Instead of importing teachers from America, we should support effort to prepare teachers from our our communities who are grounded in local knowledge. [NB: last few lines of text illegible.]

Lāpule 3/14/2004	Ka Inoa Hawaiʻi	The art of naming in Hawaiian is, as one might expect for other cultures as well throughout the world, far from arbitrary. Norms that have been established by convention reflect the shared expectations of a group of people with regard to their sense of appropriate ways of naming. This article focuses on certain aspects of the naming conventions of Hawaiian and their role in perpetuating Hawaiian cultural values.

(Kaleikoa Kaeo, Kekailoa Perry, Laiana Wong)	This is a continuation of last week’s article about the use of Hawaiian words in the University of Hawaii’s strategic plan. If the words do not match the actions, their values are undermined. In this case, they are undermined by an institution that has a record of subjugating Hawaiians.

Poʻaono 4/29/2017	Kuʻia nā hoa makalauna o ka lewa	The scandal involving the overbooked United Airlines flight and the passenger who was dragged off the plane created quite a public relations stir. It is clear that United has alternative ways of handling the situation but chose a path that would make it pay.
Poʻaono 11/26/2016	Hūhewa ke ala kau i ka lewa (Kealoha Feliciano, Kiaʻi Mielke, Kanoelani Wong)	The rail transit system that links towns and cities together disconnects us from the land and culture. Research shows numerous adverse negative effects of the rail transit system on the island of Oʻahu.

Wong, Kerry Laiana
Poʻaono 2/13/2010	Ahana kōkō lele!	Hawaiians cannot stand to lose any more sayings due to neglect in order to salvage those endangered traditional sayings, their appropriate usage must be revived and modeled for our children. It's really up to them.
Poʻaono 2/6/2010	No ke ana makaukau	Should Western requirements of objectivity and precision in assessment be extended universally? Are they necessarily superior to the subjective qualitative methods of native peoples that tend to be less precise albeit more holistic?
Poʻaono 8/8/2009	Na ka mea hewa ʻole ka hailuku	Were any of the people currently passing judgement against Coach McMackin involved in denigrating the UH football team for being called Rainbows?
Lāpule 4/22/2007	I hewa iā wai?	If what Don Imus said was so reprehensible, why have the media been so enthusiastic about quoting him again and again ad nauseam? Is the report, in this case, somehow less harmful than the act itself?
Lāpule 10/22/2006	Nei ke ōlaʻi!	Last Sunday's earthquake showed us how dependent we are on gas and electricity and how unprepared we are for such events.
Lāpule 10/15/2006	E ao Hawaiʻi!	Under No Child Left Behind, schools are required to provide military recruiters with the contact information of high school students. Hawaiian youth struggling to meet foreign standards are most susceptible to the recruitment rhetoric.

Poʻaono 5/23/2020	Kēkake noho nuha mai i ke alanui, pehea lā e pono ai?	Hawaiian governance matters at the University of Hawaii. The Aha Kuhina, the Kualii Council, and Pukoa all have to do a better job for our people.
Poʻaono 5/16/2020	He ola anei ko ka virus? He make nō kā ka virus!	The way in which we refer to the coronavirus suggests that it is a living entity. Scientists generally consider it to be nonliving; somewhere between living and dead.
Poʻaono 5/9/2020	Ke Kulanui o nā malihini ma Mānoa?	At this time of financial strife, the University of Hawaiʻi should take care of our local population, particularly Hawaiians, and not cater to outsiders who might bring a second wave of infections.
Poʻaono 5/2/2020	He ola anei kā ka lāʻau, ʻo Remdesivir?	A drug that has shown promise in the treatment of MERS and SARS is being touted as a treatment for COVID-19. That is good news but it should not send us out into the streets until we know for sure.
Poʻaono 4/18/2020	He kulanui aloha aina o UHM? (Kaleikoa Kaeo, Kekailoa Perry, Laiana Wong)	The use of the term "aloha aina" as a motto for an institution that has shown little aloha for the aina, or for the people whose aina it is, it truly misguided.
Poʻaono 4/11/2020	Hī i ka pā, hāleu me ka lau	I got caught short on a walk for exercise. With no restroom in the area, I had to relieve myself in the bushes. This was once normal behavior for our kūpuna. Not now!

Poʻaono 3/21/2020	Ua lawa nō paha kākou i ka pōhaku?	The toilet paper crisis is perhaps the result of our pampered lifestyles. Paper is not the only material that can accomplish the job. Other materials might even offer ecological advantages.
Poʻaono 3/14/2020	Aloha nō ʻo Kaʻāwela, ua kapa hewa ʻia ʻo Makulu	The four Galilean moons of Jupiter were named after the lovers of Zeus, the Greek counterpart of Jupiter, replacing Galileoʻs numbered names that were based on the order of proximity to Jupiter.
Poʻaono 3/7/2020	He kino wai ko Europa e ola ai ka lā make wai?	Astronomers have seen streams of what appears to be water spouting out of Europa, one of the moons of Saturn. This suggests that life can be sustained there. It is an interesting discovery, but it does not justify desecrating sacred sites of Hawaiʻi with giant telescopes.
Poʻaono 2/22/2020	Aloha nō kahi panolina, ua hōʻāhewa ʻia nāna ka maʻi	The pangolin has been accused of bringing the coronavirus from the animal kindom to us humans. Perhaps this is retribution for what weʻve done to the pangolin.

Poʻaono 12/14/2019	Kū mai nei ʻo ʻthey’ i ka hano hāweo i ka MH 2019	The English pronoun “they” has been selected word of the year for 2019. It is being used as a non-gendered, third-person singular pronoun.

Poʻaono 10/26/2019	Ka moʻolelo mānaʻonaʻo o Emmett Till	The story of Emmett Till reminds us of the inhumane nature of racism. How much has it changed since 1955, when his mutilated body was pulled from Mississippiʻs Tallahatchie River?
Poʻaono 10/19/2019	Pākuʻi lua ka malo, hawa maila ka ule	Words for body parts and bodily functions are not taboo in Hawaiian simply because their English counterparts are so in English.
Poʻaono 10/12/2019	Ola ka maʻi luʻuluʻu i ke kūkaelio	Magic mushrooms offer healing properties to people suffering from depression. We should be working to escape a 1960s mentality that continues to view psilocybin as a Schedule 1 drug.
Poʻaono 9/28/2019	ʻAʻole mānalo o ka ʻeha a ke aupuni	The arrests at Waimānalo come from the same playbook as those made two months ago on Maunakea. Is this a “might makes right” state?

Poʻaono 9/7/2019	ʻĀ ke kukui, ʻauheʻe aku ka ʻelelū	There are concerns that the state will be deploying force to physically remove the protectors from Maunakea sometime soon. The best defense under kapu aloha is to cast light on all such actions.
Poʻaono 8/31/2019	Paʻē hewa ka leo holina, he holina naʻe ka mea e pono ai	The loss of rainforest in Brazil is certainly problematic, but not because it contains 20% of the worldʻs oxygen. This fearmongering might lead to corrective action, but for the wrong reasons.
Poʻaono 8/24/2019	Huli kua ʻia ka ʻaha, ʻaʻole ke kanaka	Huli kua is a Hawaiian response to being wronged. In calling for Thirty Meter Telescope supporters to huli kua, the object is not individuals. We should direct our response to groups.
Poʻaono 8/10/2019	He wahi aʻo Hawaiʻi, no ka Hawaiʻi, na ka Hawaiʻi?	In order to claim to be a Hawaiian place of learning, the learning must be determined by Hawaiians. If the University of Hawaiʻi were run by Hawaiians, it would not be necessary to call it a Hawaiian place of learning.
Poʻaono 8/3/2019	Mai puni i ia mea he helu o kuhihewa ka manaʻo	The conflict between quantitative and qualitative evidence in academia has tilted in favor of quantity, yet with regard to support for political agendas, quantity can be misused.

Poʻaono 6/22/2019	Holo ʻāʻā kama hele ua piʻoloke i ke kuhihewa	Lithium ion batteries are recognized as being somewhat unstable. The incident at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, however, shows that we travelers are not prepared to handle such emergencies.
Poʻaono 6/15/2019	Ua mau ka ʻea o ka ʻāina a haumia maila	Microplastics are filling our oceans but they are not doing it without our help. We need to rethink our own convenience and learn to take steps to clean our planet.

In an ostensible effort to improve the state of humankind, scientists have developed a genetically modified salmon that matures to market size in half the time that it takes its natural counterpart.

Poʻaono 5/4/2019	Ka ‘eha a ka pololia a me ka pa‘imalau	Some professors from UH have developed an antidote for box jellyfish stings. I prefer to urinate on the affected area as I was taught by my elders. It‘s worked for me.
Poʻaono 4/27/2019	He maʻi lele ka maʻi ʻula, e akahele!	Measles is contagious and can be carried by an individual for weeks without overt symptoms. For those who have not been immunized with two doses of the medicine, the risks are great.

Poʻaono 3/23/2019	Kōlea nō ke kōlea i kona inoa iho	After the terrorist massacre in Aotearoa, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has chosen not to mention the name of the suspect. Being sentenced to obscurity seems most appropriate.
Poʻaono 3/16/2019	I ikeia no ke kanaka no kekahi lahui ma kana olelo	As Hawaiians, we have to seek the blessing of the state, under its laws, in order to normalize our language. That path has led us nowhere!
Poʻaono 3/9/2019	He mea nui ka ʻai, eia naʻe, ʻo ka hānai kai ʻoi aʻe	LeBron James just surpassed Michael Jordan to take over fourth place on the list of all-time NBA scoring leaders. It would seem, however, that scoring is not as important to him as assists.
Poʻaono 3/2/2019	He aloha nō ʻo Kapūkakī, ua piha i ka ʻailea	The U.S. Navyʻs fuel storage tanks buried at Kapūkaki (Red Hill) have leaked in the past. In what way can this be good for Oahuʻs drinking water, which is located nearby?
Poʻaono 2/23/2019	Lele ka ʻanae i ke alo pali o Nuʻuanu	The Nuʻuanu Pali Tunnels were closed this week due to landslides. Given the history, i.e., the numerous soldiers who fell to their deaths at the Battle of Nuʻuanu, will drivers be hesitant to take that route? I will.
Poʻaono 2/16/2019	E akaaka anei i ke kahako a me ka okina?	A bill was just passed by the Legislature requiring the use of macrons and glottal stops in all government papers, signs and seals. Although it appears to be benign, there is opposition.
Poʻaono 2/9/2019	Mahalua ka mahaʻoi mai uka a kai	First the telescopes, then the whales, and now the wēkiu bug. In each case, traditional Hawaiian values are subjugated to unyielding Western control.

Poʻaono 1/5/2019	Nā hoʻohiki o ka makahiki hou	Making a New Yearʻs resolution, whether publicly or privately, reveals a sense of power or control in affecting future outcomes. It is a bit overreaching from the perspective of one who abdicates control over fate.
Poʻaono 12/29/2018	Ka haunaele a Trump ma Suria	Donald Trumpʻs decision to withdraw forces from Syria is viewed as unwise, but his reasons for doing what he does tend to align with his own self-interests. Perhaps something will motivate him to withdraw from Hawaiʻi.
Poʻaono 12/22/2018	Puhi holo wale, ʻaʻohe pāpalekimo	“Stealthing,” or removing a condom during sex without a partnerʻs knowledge, can now merit criminal consequences, although not yet in America. The word is catching on.
Poʻaono 12/15/2018	ʻO ka maʻa ka hopena o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa	Learning language out of context can yield an ability to create decontextualized sentences, but is worthless for actual communication.

Poʻaono 11/17/2018	Ili ka waʻa ma nā kapakai o Punipainu	The dominance of verbal constructions in Hawaiian may be due to English influence. More traditional writings exhibit a better balance between verbal and nominal forms.
Poʻaono 9/22/2018	He hana kā Hirono? He oki loa paha kā Kavanaugh	Political positions lie on a continuum. U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono’s is closer to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s than mine, as a captive participant in American politics.
Poʻaono 9/1/2018	He aloha ka mahalo i ke kūʻai ʻia	Making money by selling Mahaloha burgers (mahalo + aloha) decreases markedly the value of Hawaiian words in Hawaiʻi. This callous disregard for such important Hawaiian words represents a net loss for the Hawaiian language.
Poʻaono 8/25/2018	Eia aʻe kahi makani pāhili ʻo Lane: Aloha ʻino kākou!	As we prepare for Hurricane Lane, we should exercise more aloha by not overstocking on certain necessities. We should remember that others have similar needs.
Poʻaono 8/18/2018	Alohe ē ke ʻahi i ka pokē ʻia	This week, we continue our examination of the word “pokē” (as it is spelled on the Aloha Pokē Website), and whether or not it is a real Hawaiian word. If it is not, should we be concerned about its co-option?
Poʻaono 8/11/2018	He aloha ē ka iʻa i ka poke ʻia	The appropriation of language is certainly of importance, but we must not forget some of the more egregious inequities inherent to existence under colonial rule.
Poʻaono 8/4/2018	Ua mau anei ka pono o nā kānaka ʻōiwi?	The Restoration Day celebration at Thomas Square, where the Hawaiian flag now flies alone, gives hope to those of us who support a completely independent Hawaiʻi.
Poʻaono 7/28/2018	Ahuwale ana ka pū o ka halihali ākea ʻia mai	The second amendment rights of a Hawaiʻi man have been upheld, allowing him to carry a handgun for protection. In what way does this protect the populace?
Poʻaono 7/14/2018	Pūʻali ka hau o ʻIolekaʻa i ka maile pilau	The maile pilau has become a serious problem in Hawaiʻi, creeping into peopleʻs yards and choking out trees and even some native vegetation. I do not believe the solution lies in poisoning this pest. That would only serve to poison the land.
Poʻaono 7/7/2018	Hoʻolauleʻa hoʻokamani na ke aupuni hoʻokolonaio	As Hawaii celebrates the intriguing story of American independence, we should remember that our legitimate sovereign nation was illegally annexed by a country that stole its land base from other native peoples.
Poʻaono 6/30/2018	Ka hoʻokae komoneʻe: ʻo ia hoʻokamani nō ʻo Maleka	The hypocrisy of America is astounding. A country stolen from its indigenous peoples, and now claiming to take in people from all over who are “yearning to breathe free,” is now recanting.
Poʻaono 6/23/2018	He waiwai ʻokoʻa ia mea ʻo ke ‘komo kaimana’	Diamonds from outer space were found in an asteroid that landed in Syria, suggesting that our understanding of the creation of the universe could change. Diamonds contained in the asteroid and the material found inside those diamonds indicate that our beginnings were not what we had thought.
Poʻaono 6/2/2018	ʻO ka ʻino i ʻike ahuwale ʻia, e aho ia i ka hana malū	Roseanne Barr is paying a heavy price for issuing racist statements at once offensive and unchecked. I would rather be clear about where people stand than have to worry about the quiet racist who bides his time waiting for an opportunity to act on his skewed thoughts. This is the downside of political correctness.
Poʻaono 5/26/2018	Makehewa ka lele kapuahi o kā kākou kālā	There are many issues to consider when voting in November. With respect to the rail system, I have spoken consistently against it and the associated cost overruns. Which of the major candidates for governor is of like mind? My vote goes there.
Poʻaono 5/12/2018	Pehea ana lā ka manaʻo o Pele?	Pele is showing her displeasure. This could be the result of the persistent efforts to tap a clean energy source in geothermal. What we think is good for the Earth may not agree with Pele.
Poʻaono 5/5/2018	No wai ka mana koho pāloka?	Perhaps the legal voting age in the U.S. should be lowered from 18 to 16. The long- running social experiment recognizing a magical cut-off between one day before the 18th birthday and one day after, has not worked out well for Americans.
Poʻaono 4/21/2018	Kani ē ka ʻōlē walo i ke kula i Mannahatta	People in New York employ their car horns indiscriminately. It is clearly not intended to effect change in the behavior of other drivers. It seems more like griping, a form of self-therapy.
Poʻaono 4/14/2018	He mana ko ka inoa, ʻaʻole e kapakapa wale ʻia aku	I no longer call President Donald Trump “Huli” for a number of reasons. For one, it is a very important word in traditional Hawaiian. These meanings should be thought of first, before thinking of the introduced card game.
Poʻaono 4/7/2018	ʻUʻuku ka uku ke ʻuʻu ka ʻuku	Very few words have been borrowed from Hawaiian into English. The borrowing has been done in the opposite direction. This balance of trade is untenable if we are concerned with the health of the Hawaiian language and the maintenance of Hawaiian worldviews.
Poʻaono 3/31/2018	Ua pili anei ka make i ka makemake?	English glosses of Hawaiian words can offer false equivalencies that effectively alter their intended meanings. Translation will ultimately supplant traditional Hawaiian worldviews through the perversion of meaning.
Poʻaono 2/24/2018	Mai makaʻu i ka manioka, hiki ke ʻai ʻia	It is possible to eat cassava root, but it must be cleaned properly or the outer bark of the root, and the layer immediately below that, are toxic and can cause death. Nothing to fear. I tried it and I am writing this article. It tastes like potato.
Poʻaono 2/17/2018	Hilahila ʻoe, make ʻoe	Shame can be detrimental to aspirations, and so we often see it as a bad thing. However, there is value to keeping a little bit of shame around to prevent us from being too audacious and to remind us that we are social creatures whose actions affect others. My friend, Noʻeau Warner, taught me that.
Poʻaono 2/10/2018	He hāwaʻe ʻiʻo ʻole ka unuhi	People are now allowed to provide testimony in Hawaiian during court proceedings. The catch is that an English translation must be provided. This is a vacuous concession.
Poʻaono 2/3/2018	Aloha nō kahi keiki ʻike ʻole i ka helu pō	I’m sure the super blue blood moon that made a rare appearance early Wednesday morning in our skies was something to behold. Those lucky enough to see it will no doubt cherish it forever. Are there words in Hawaiian to indicate such an event? Let us know.
Poʻaono 1/27/2018	Kīhēhē wale aku ka poʻe Hawaiʻi i ke au iā Maleka (Kekailoa Perry, Laiana Wong)	A court case on Maui has brought attention to Hawaiian rights with respect to the domains of language use. Kaleikoa Kaeo has chosen to present his case through the medium of Hawaiian, but the judge has denied his right to do so. As his rights are stripped away, he becomes increasingly invisible; and so do we.
Poʻaono 1/20/2018	Kani ke oeoe, he piʻoloke ko ka ʻāina	The nuclear missile alarm caused serious consternation, but people remained courteous on the roads. As for the assignment of blame, we should look no further than the two despotic leaders who are peddling fear. Lock ’em up and let ’em fight each other.
Poʻaono 1/13/2018	ʻInoʻino ke kai ua ʻau ʻia e ke kae	Unusually high levels of enterococci bacteria have been reported in the waters off Ala Moana Beach. In fact, there is about eight times the allowable amount. It is not known what has caused the spike in bacteria, but people are being notified not to swim there.
Poʻaono 1/6/2018	Halihali ʻia ka huaale lāʻau pā ma ka leka	A pilot program involving four states, including Hawaiʻi, that offers abortion approval by teleconference with a doctor has invited protest. Is this about abortion rights or abortion procedures?
Poʻaono 12/30/2017	E kū kaʻeo i ke kalaʻihi o Maleka (Laiana Wong, Kekailoa Perry)	Whereas Hawaiian is one of two official languages of the state, a defendant should be allowed to present a defense in Hawaiian, and not be forced to operate within the limitations of English.
Poʻaono 12/23/2017	Nō ka wai ʻino, ʻinoʻino ka ʻāina	Many homes in Hawaiʻi are still utilizing cesspools to handle wastewater. This is not a sustainable practice as it could ultimately seep into our sources of drinking water.
Poʻaono 12/16/2017	Na ke kāleka ia e hōʻoia i ke kanaka?	If you have to renew your state ID, be sure to take all the necessary documents — birth certificate, Social Security card, and two documents verifying your resident address.
Poʻaono 12/9/2017	Nalo ka wahine i loko o ka huaʻōlelo aikāne	There is an implication attached to the word aikāne, that it only applies to males. Females are not represented based on its overt construction. Its meaning, generally understood through English translations, can carry negative connotations.
Poʻaono 12/2/2017	E mau ka pono o ka Lā Kūʻokoʻa	Sir George Simpson of the Hudson Bay Company is one of the lesser known plenipotentiary envoys sent by Kauikeaouli to America and Europe to secure a treaty recognizing Hawaii as an independent state.
Poʻaono 11/25/2017	E ʻaʻala anei ka pua i kona inoa?	Names that have been suggested for the rail stations by a HART committee do not have meanings that reflect the history and the issues surrounding the project. They should have names that are informative.
Poʻaono 11/18/2017	Mahuka ka pupule ma Kāneʻohe	The escape of Randall Saito from the Kāneʻohe State Hospital this past Sunday sent shivers throughout the island. There is a lot of blame to go around and the protocols definitely need more vigilant enforcement, but more importantly, the health care system needs to provide more effective help to those who need it.
Poʻaono 11/11/2017	He aha lā hoʻi kēlā mea e kau mai ala i luna?	Ignorance is revealed in many ways. Knowing oneʻs place is more valuable than knowing what one might view as fact.
Poʻaono 11/4/2017	Ka pūkaʻina kahului pōhili puni honua o 2017	The Houston Astros are the 2017 Major League Baseball champions, having defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in a hard-fought seven-game series. Houston centerfielder George Springer, who had a tremendous series both at the plate and in the field, was named MVP. His real MVP work, however, might be what he does off the field.
Poʻaono 10/28/2017	Pehea lā ka puana ʻana i ka wē?	The “w” in Hawaiian today is sometimes pronounced like an English “w” and sometimes like an English “v”. Whatʻs up with that?
Poʻaono 10/21/2017	He maʻi ʻino e huikau ai ka waihona noʻonoʻo	Researchers are making headway in their efforts to understand the causes of obsessive compulsive disorder. Interestingly, some of the genes in which certain mutations occur that seem to be linked to OCD are the same as those found in animals with similar disorders.
Poʻaono 10/7/2017	Ua lawa anei ka hana ʻino a ka pū?	The mass shooting in Las Vegas is just one more piece of evidence that supports a bipartisan move for more extensive gun control laws. People kill people, but guns kill lots of people. Self-defense cannot be a defense for guns if no one has them.
Poʻaono 9/30/2017	E noho paʻa e nā hoa kūpaʻa i ke kūpono	Standing or kneeling for the American flag is a right supposedly guaranteed by what the flag symbolizes. Donʻt fall for the Trump misdirection play. Stay the course until true equality reigns.
Poʻaono 9/23/2017	Hele i Kealia, ua napoʻo ʻē ka lā	Kauakūkalahale columns can be accessed in hard copy or at the Star-Advertiser website. They are also available a day later, for free, at www.trussel2.com/haw/kuk/hsa.htm, or at kauakukalahale.org. Contemporary editorials in Hawaiian need to reach Hawaiian language speakers online.
Poʻaono 9/16/2017	Hawahawa ka lima o ke kālepa kaʻa	The living conditions following Harvey and Irma have been miserable, but the generosity of people has emerged. This is now being overshadowed by those who, among other questionable activities, are reselling damaged cars without proper disclosure, as required by law.
Poʻaono 9/9/2017	Kalaʻihi ka lā, kūpilikiʻʻi ka honua	The world experienced some very powerful solar flares this week. Such dramatic events can have serious consequences. They can also produce beautiful skies. World leaders should be more positive in outlook.
Poʻaono 9/2/2017	Uē ka lani, uē pū me ko ka honua	News of the flooding from tropical storm Harvey has reached just about everyone by now. The little bit of flooding I had at my house in Kāneʻohe during the rains on Tuesday pales in comparison to the devastation in Texas and Louisiana.
Poʻaono 8/26/2017	E kūʻēʻē ʻia ka hoʻokae ʻili, he hana ʻino	The American Educational Research Association has released a statement condemning the recent violent events in Charlottesville, Va. A Hawaiian version of the statement appears below.
Poʻaono 8/19/2017	Kaiakahinaliʻi: Ahu mōkākī ka puna i uka	Global warming has exacerbated the problem of rising sea levels. Record king tides are expected to become the norm in the near future, inundating coastal cities. And some folks still refuse to acknowledge the serious ramifications of global warming, let alone the fact that it even exists.
Poʻaono 8/12/2017	Eia nō kahi Hawaiʻi ua kaulona ʻia	The latest crisis facing the Trump administration seems like a game of chicken, and Hawaiʻi could be the collision point. Contrary to popular received wisdom, Hawaiʻi would be much safer if we were under our own control. Americaʻs illegitimate control of our islands has placed us in the crosshairs of North Korea.
Poʻaono 8/5/2017	Ea aʻe i luna, a kū kiaʻi mauna	Protectors practicing nonviolent resistance were forcibly removed from the road to the summit of Haleakalā by police. Why does the University of Hawaii support the Hōkūleʻa but is willing to desecrate our mountain?
Poʻaono 7/22/2017	Nā ipo liʻiliʻi hoʻokuʻi i ka puʻuwai (Laiana Wong, Christine Ambrosino)	A type of vegetation that grows only in Hawaiʻi, particularly on the North facing side of Moku o Loʻe, has been called Halophila hawaiiana by the scientific community, and is commonly referred to as seagrass. What can we call it in Hawaiian? Some high school science students have an idea.
Poʻaono 7/15/2017	Mai hoʻonui wale i ka ʻino	So much negative press has surrounded this presidency, much of which predates the election. The negative reports should be curtailed so that truly egregious acts will be recognized as such, and not seen as normal behavior. This is not an issue of accuracy. It is about avoiding apathy.
Poʻaono 7/1/2017	He lāʻau ʻino a hōʻea mai i o kākou nei	Hawaiʻi has not escaped the opioid epidemic that is devastating communities all over the world. Over the past 10 years, opioid-related deaths in Hawaiʻi have increased by 83 percent. Something needs to be done and we all need to be part of the solution.
Poʻaono 6/24/2017	Pūhā hewa ka honu i ka lā makani	Got a problem with the traffic at Laniākea and want to move the turtles? Let’s not blame it on them. In what way is it their fault? It is a human problem requiring a solution respectful of nature.
Poʻaono 6/17/2017	Hōkūleʻa, ka waʻa kaʻapuni honua	On its maiden voyage to Tahiti in 1976, Hōkūleʻa was captained by Kāwika Kapahulehua. He was a Hawaiian language speakers who in his later years taught language students at the University of Hawaii. Hōkūleʻa has just returned from a voyage around the world and will anchor off Ala Moana Park on Saturday.
Poʻaono 6/10/2017	Mauiakama: Aloha ʻāina ʻoiaʻiʻo	Valuable lessons are available at language immersion camps such as Mauiakama but language learning is not the most important. Caring for the land because the land takes care of us, is a basic obligation. Language only supports the process.
Poʻaono 5/20/2017	Mahalo ka mea loaʻa o hoka auaneʻi	I have recently begun to worry that Donald Trump might actually be impeached. That would be very, very bad. Trump offers the best chance for the resurgence of a liberal agenda. Besides, who would step in and provide the entertainment?
Poʻaono 5/13/2017	He mea pahū ke kamepiula	In the name of safety, the Department of Homeland Security is banning laptop computers and other small electronic items from being carried onto aircraft. Is this about safety or repression?
Poʻaono 5/6/2017	Hoʻomanaʻo ʻia ke Alamo?	The story of what happened at the Alamo glorifies land-grabbing slave owners while treating native peoples as if they were nonexistent.
Poʻaono 4/22/2017	Aia ka ‘ai ma mua o ka i’a	As we engage in the regenesis of Hawaiian, it is important to preserve whatever we can. Because most speakers today are first-language speakers of English, English word order tends to inform the new Hawaiian. We should attend to this lest it be said that we speak English in Hawaiian.
Poʻaono 4/8/2017	Eia aʻe kahi makani ʻino ke pā mai nei	We should all be concerned that Donald Trump has chosen to respond to violence with violence. The attack on Syria could easily escalate into something more serious, especially if Russia enters the fray.
Poʻaono 4/1/2017	Pila pilo: ʻAʻohe heluna kālā e ʻaʻala ai	North Carolina, reeling from lost revenues because of fallout from its “bathroom bill,” has just passed a new version. Both the proponents of the original bill and its opponents find themselves aligned in opposition to the new version.
Poʻaono 3/25/2017	Ka mohala ʻana mai o ka ʻōlelo kanaka	The Hawaiian language is making a comeback from the brink of death. The initial shift away from a thriving history, however, should serve to remind us of its fragile nature. Just one generation of neglect, and it could be gone.
Poʻaono 3/11/2017	E kaukaʻi paha ka DHHL i ka DNA?	What are the limits of DNA testing for ancestry, and can it be utilized fairly? Further investigation is needed before implementation. Invoking scientific methods should not be inconsistent. Either do it all the way or donʻt do it at all.
Poʻaono 3/4/2017	He aha ia mea he pākeneka koko Hawaiʻi?	Hawaiian Home Lands is a misnomer. They should really be Hawaiian lands. By buying into the blood quantum requirements, we are complicit in our own colonization. Until such time that we are able to exercise our sovereignty, we should probably honor the 1/32 quantum espoused by Kūhiō.
Poʻaono 2/25/2017	Aia nō kahi ʻIlioki ua paʻa i waho o ke anu	New efforts are being made to reverse the 2006 decision to revoke Pluto’s status as a planet in our solar system. It is currently labeled a “dwarf planet”. Despite this label, it is not viewed by some as a real planet. Why then call it a “planet”?
Poʻaono 2/18/2017	Māhuahua nā kīnā i ke oʻo o ka mānaʻai	Many men will be surprised to learn that fathering children at an advanced age can carry severe consequences for their children's health. There is an increased risk for certain afflictions that will be problematic for the child. The biggest surprise is the actual age that is considered advanced. It can be less than 40.
Poʻaono 1/28/2017	Paipai ʻo Huli i ia hana ʻo ka hoʻomāinoino hoʻopiholo	It is not surprising that President Donald Trump is in support of torture by way of waterboarding. Despite studies that have shown the futility of such measures, he still thinks it is an effective deterrent to terrorism. He says that it absolutely works, but how could he really know without personal experience?
Poʻaono 1/21/2017	Eia mai kahi mūhune ʻino ke laha aʻe nei	A new type of infectious disease is spreading throughout the world, and the available antibiotics are ineffective against it. The number of cases is growing. Eight months ago, there was only one reported case. That is not so today. What will happen in the next eight months?
Poʻaono 1/14/2017	A he ʻuʻa keia ua hiki iho nei	Defibrillators and pacemakers may soon come under attack by hackers. Our increased dependence on technology to support such health-related advancements leaves those of us dependent on them vulnerable to the whims of such people.
Poʻaono 1/7/2017	E ʻai i ka paka o ka pīneki ʻoi ʻōpiopio	Peanut allergies may eventually be a thing of the past. Research has shown that children who are fed peanut-based products at the age of 6 months develop immunities to the adverse effects traditionally associated with peanuts.
Poʻaono 12/31/2016	Ua ahuwale ka hau o uka	New technology allows us to view the Earth from space. We can track the distribution of humans, changes in forestation and ice caps, and water use patterns. This could help to authenticate global warming for the few remaining non-believers.
Poʻaono 12/24/2016	Ka māuikiʻikiʻi o ka hoʻoilo	We just experienced the winter solstice on Wednesday. It was the shortest day of the year. Although the reasons for naming the events that coincide with the shortest or longest days of a year, or when the length of a day is equal to its corresponding night serve astronomers, the idea of corresponding seasons is odd in Hawaiʻi.
Poʻaono 10/29/2016	Hoʻi ke aloha no ka Holo ʻo Bachman	I was reminded of when the Hawaiian language community and supporters stormed Bachman Hall at UH to protest the planned termination of a number of our classes.
Poʻaono 10/22/2016	Na Huli ʻo Huli i kāmau ʻino mai	Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump just trumped himself during the third and final presidential debate by refusing to say whether or not he will accept the outcome of the election. People from both sides of the aisle see this as completely disrespectful of the entire process.
Poʻaono 10/1/2016	ʻO ke kūkae paha ka lāʻau e lapaʻau ai i ka pūhalalū	Research into the causes of obesity yields preliminary findings linking the diversity of bacteria in feces to lower levels of visceral fat, suggesting that an infusion of feces from persons with lower levels of fat could serve to reduce obesity as well as cardiovascular disease.
Poʻaono 9/24/2016	Nui ke aloha no Ernie Cruz Jr.	The passing of Ernie Cruz Jr. will have a profound and lasting effect on all who knew him. His infectious smile and generous nature are reminiscent of older Hawaiians. He was truly a young man with an old soul.
Poʻaono 9/17/2016	He wai ola paha ko ka paipu loloa?	The protest in North Dakota against building a 1,170-mile oil pipeline is just one more example of manʻs disregard for the life of the land and for the well-being of the original peoples of the land.
Poʻaono 9/10/2016	He aha ka hewa o ka moe awakea?	Research has shown that children who get insufficient sleep are at risk of becoming obese later in life. Being awake and active does not prevent such an outcome. So letʻs all go to sleep earlier!
Poʻaono 9/3/2016	He mahalo no ka wiwo ʻole o Kaepernick	Americans should support Colin Kaepernick's decision to sit in protest during renditions of the Star-Spangled Banner. The struggle will bring enlightenment and improvements to that nation. It is easy for Americans to turn a blind eye to America's faults by allowing outrage over attempts to effect change obscure the truth.
Poʻaono 8/6/2016	I mea aha ka leʻa ma ka hoʻohāpai wahine?	Recent research into human reproduction has attempted to account for the difference between genders in the frequency of orgasms during sex. A theory has been proposed suggesting that female orgasm was historically necessary for the production of eggs and is no longer so. It is only one of a number of competing theories.
Poʻaono 7/30/2016	Hauʻoli Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea	This yearʻs ceremonies celebrating the restoration of sovereignty to the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi in 1843 are being held today and tomorrow at Thomas Square. Come join in the commemoration of this landmark event.
Poʻaono 7/23/2016	He aloha no ka lama kū o ka Noʻeau	One of Hawaiʻi's premier educators, and one of my closest friends, Noʻeau Warner, has just passed on. He leaves behind many innovative teaching strategies, but without his talent and dedication the job becomes much more difficult.
Poʻaono 7/16/2016	Wāwahi ʻia ka maluhia a kau mai ka weli	The escalation of violent acts throughout the world has made people jumpy. This has led to some not–so-well-thought-out reponses, some of which call for a matching of the violence, and others that overly generalize the source of a problem and seek to solve it by engaging in extreme acts that can hurt innocent people.
Poʻaono 7/9/2016	Āhea e pau ai ka luku a ka pū?	The questionable behavior of a few police officers has spurred protest demonstrations. This week in Dallas, a number of police officers were targeted by a shooter with a semi-automatic weapon. It is critical that we endeavor to de-escalate the proliferation of guns.
Poʻaono 7/2/2016	E kū paha ka uha i ka ʻohe nānā?	Many people are hesitant to undergo colorectal screening. Some put it off while others never do it. Doctors agree on the benefits of early detection, and there are some new techniques that are less invasive than the traditional colonoscopy.
Poʻaono 6/25/2016	Aloha nō kahi Miki ʻIole, ua miki ʻia	The new Disneyland that is about to open in Shanghai has concerns about the attractiveness of the names of the attractions, even in translation. Some are offputting to the Chinese public and may act counter to their intent. Why is translation necessary anyway? Wouldnʻt it be wiser to come up with names that reflect a Chinese worldview?
Poʻaono 6/18/2016	E ao Hawaiʻi, mai puni iā Maleka!	Not standing for the “Star Spangled Banner” at Kamehameha Schools' commencement this year was a sign of enlightenment and a testament to knowledge. The school should be proud of its students for taking a seat.
Poʻaono 6/11/2016	Paʻa ka ʻōlelo, ʻaʻohe e komo	Censoring of communication is nothing new to prisons. Prisoners, by definition, forfeit some of their rights. Censoring of a language, however, punishes more than just the individual; it punishes an entire group of speakers as well.
Poʻaono 6/4/2016	E kū mai paha ka ʻaoʻao Kūnoa	Will a Libertarian presidential candidate emerge? There are certainly a lot of disgruntled people who do not like the presumptive nominees of both major parties. Will a third-party candidate reduce the overall support for the ultimate winner?
Poʻaono 5/28/2016	He mū ʻo ia! E ao nō ka maʻi!	A new strain of bacteria has afflicted a Pennsylvania woman, and there is no antibiotic that can combat this “super bug.” Bacteria, like other living organisms, are fighting for survival. They are morphing into drug-resistant strains to stay alive.
Poʻaono 5/21/2016	Kolohe hou mai kahi ʻIona Likiuma	The sale of e-cigarettes to minors has just been prohibited by the FDA. Now we are seeing problems with the lithium ion batteries that power them as well as other devices. They can explode!
Poʻaono 5/14/2016	Emi ka moe, pākela ka ʻai	Research has shown that less sleep leads to increased craving for junk food and ultimately to weight gain. The shift in eating choices can occur overnight and lead to a sharp increase in calorie intake. There is an interesting correlation between decreased sleep and increased levels of THC, the same stuff found in marijuana. Trippy!
Poʻaono 5/7/2016	Hilinaʻi i ke aloha makua	As our elders pass, we are reminded of the lessons they leave for us. The passing of my father-in-law, James Kealoha, has left me with fond memories and valuable life lessons. Itʻs now up to me to pass them on.
Poʻaono 4/30/2016	Ke hiki mai nei ka hopena ʻelemakule?	Dementia afflicts many of our elders. The signs of its early onset are alarmingly familiar to me, despite my relative youth, and to many others. It has been noted that music can alleviate the pain. So letʻs all sing for our health.
Poʻaono 4/23/2016	Ke wela ke kai, kaulaʻi ka puna i ka lā	How can people continue to reject the concept of global warming? The evidence is all around us. Now we are witnessing the accelerated bleaching of the worldʻs coral reefs. We should know by now that everything is connected. We canʻt afford to put our heads in the sand.
Poʻaono 4/16/2016	Hele a pipiʻi ka hoʻopiʻi i ke ake kālā	Lawsuits that would otherwise have been impossible to contest due to a disparity in resources are now being funded by investors hoping to make a profit.
Poʻaono 3/26/2016	He mana anei ko ka ʻōlelo?	The battle of words between Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz is considered by many to be petty and unpresidential, but in Hawaiian thinking, words are imbued with spiritual power and can cause harm if let loose into the world.
Poʻaono 3/19/2016	E kāhiko paha i ka lehua, ʻaʻole paha?	With the impending Merrie Monarch hula competition, concern for the protection of ʻōhiʻa lehua trees on Hawaiʻi Island has taken center stage. Hālau depend on the blossoms to adorn their costumes as they prepare to glorify their deity, Laka. But a new type of disease has been wiping out the forests and visiting the uplands to pick lehua will only exacerbate an already dire situation.
Poʻaono 3/12/2016	Kiʻi ʻia ka ʻai ʻiʻo, koʻekoʻe ʻiʻo ka ʻai kiʻi	Taking pictures of your food and sending them to friends, whether in real life or in cyberspace, is really just a high-tech way to play with food. Researchers in California are claiming thereʻs a link between taking and sending pictures of food to others and an improvement in taste for the sender. But what does it do for the receiver?

Poʻaono 3/5/2016	He hoapili anei ʻoe no Lohiʻau?	What happened to “Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me”? Some words seem to defy that old adage. Language censorship, however, is a slippery slope. It is a precursor to the establishment of word police. We really need to be more civil to each other, not as a matter of law, but as one of choice. Leave the words be.

Titled Kauakūkalahale (the rain that announces itself to the roof of every house) it will appear each Sunday on Page A2. The Hawaiian column will be coordinated by Laiana Wong and Kekeha Solis, of the Department of Hawaiian and Indo-Pacific Languages and Literatures at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Each column will begin with a synopsis, in English. Topics will include current events, features and profiles. To honor the Star-Bulletin for beginning the Hawaiian column, Wong has written a "name" song, which used to be customary when a newspaper was established. The song is titled "Ka Hōkū Buletina." Generally speaking, the song is announcing the new publication, "kind of like saying a new kind of flavor for readers -- the Hawaiian language, the heartbeat of the Hawaiian people," Wong said. "Let it be known that this column is coming out and the Star-Bulletin is doing it and we would like you to subscribe," he said. "It's finally here." -- Frank Bridgewater, Editor

Star-Bulletin
	Lāpule 10/27/2002	Ka Hōkū Buletina (Laiana Wong)	Kauakūkalahale column debuts today The Honolulu Star-Bulletin today begins a weekly column in Hawaiian. Titled Kauakūkalahale (the rain that announces itself to the roof of every house) it will appear each Sunday on Page A2. The Hawaiian column will be coordinated by Laiana Wong and Kekeha Solis, of the Department of Hawaiian and Indo-Pacific Languages and Literatures at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Each column will begin with a synopsis, in English. Topics will include current events, features and profiles. To honor the Star-Bulletin for beginning the Hawaiian column, Wong has written a "name" song, which used to be customary when a newspaper was established. The song is titled "Ka Hōkū Buletina." Generally speaking, the song is announcing the new publication, "kind of like saying a new kind of flavor for readers -- the Hawaiian language, the heartbeat of the Hawaiian people," Wong said. "Let it be known that this column is coming out and the Star-Bulletin is doing it and we would like you to subscribe," he said. "It's finally here." -- Frank Bridgewater, Editor
