HAWAIIAN WORD OF THE MONTH
Luau - (loo ow) Hawaiian feast
Lau lau - (la ow la ow) Chunks of pork wrapped in taro leaves steamed in a ti-leaf pouch, One of the main dish items served at a luau
Lua - (loo ah) Toilet, bathroom
Here are three very similar words with VERY different meanings. Be careful not to mix them up when you are trying to speak Hawaiian to the locals!
I went to the luau and ate laulau but later had to find the lua because I ate too much!

DAYS OF MY YOUTH ON KAUAI - MYRON KASHIMA
 PLAYING IN THE
HULEIA RIVER
Some of my fondest memories were of visiting my "Tutu", my Hawaiian grandmother. I'd love it when my cousins were there visiting too and us kids would run down the hill from her house to play in the Huleia river. We'd spend hours swimming and swinging from the vines that hung from the trees that lined the bank of the river. Usually it was just us kids, laughing and playing in the cool moutain water.
There was a low, narrow bridge where horses would cross over to go up into the mountain. Under the bridge were openings in the block foundations. We would shoot thru them with the rushing water that flowed through. In one of tunnels was a gathering spot for small "a hole hole" (a ho-lay ho-lay) or flagtail fish. We'd try and catch them with our hands but I don't remember catching any. Sometimes we'd lay large leaves from a hau bush down in the water and watch for the opae or shrimp gather under it. If you were hungry - you could even eat them for a snack!
We'd play and play until we got tired and then we'd run back to Tutu's house. It was a great time, usually no adults around. We could make as much noise as we wanted and nobody told us to be quiet. What a carefree time when kids could be kids!
Aloha, Myron

HAIKU FARMS MINUTE
(Monthly update on the rebirth of our
family farm on Kauai)
We're still battling the pigs eating the plants. The boys killed about ten wild pigs in the last month or so. We've been smoking the meat or making sausage and sharing the bounty with family and friends.
It's great that they help so much at the farm. There's always so much work that needs to get done.

Na Paniolo o Hawai'i
The Hawaiian paniolo, our Island cowboy.
In 1838, at the request of Kamehameha III, Spanish-Mexican vaqueros came from California to teach Hawaiians how to manage the wild herds. The vaqueros became "paniolo," a word derived from "espanol" or "Spanish." The name was also given to the new Hawaiian cowboys. Paniolo music, dress and arts are uniquely Hawaiian.
The first cowboys in Hawai'i were the American vaqueros
Central to paniolo heritage is an appreciation of nature, music, and the skills of artisans who created saddles, lau hala hats, featherwork, braided rope, flower lei and other items. Island cowboys favored 'ukulele and kika (guitar) music and songs written in Hawaiian. Though the cattle industry has declined, paniolo traditions remain popular in local culture today.
