DAYS OF MY YOUTH - Growing up on Kauai
Myron Kashima
When I grow up, I want to be.....
a hobo! Yup, for some reason, I dreamed of hopping on a train and "riding the rails", going from town to town -what an adventure that would be! Where in the world did I get such an idea? There weren't even any hobos' in Hawaii! Perhaps it was because I LOVED Freddy the Freeloader from the Red Skelton show on TV. (For you young kids - look him up on youtube to see who I'm talking about.)
To be a hobo, there had to be a train and the sugar plantation had trains! After the cane fields were burned to remove the leaves, the stalks were picked up and put on the trains to take them to the mills. These were working trains dedicated to picking up the dirty, sticky, blackened sugar cane stalks that were first carried on the backs of men, then by mules, then trucks and in the '50's - by steam train. These steam locomotives ran a short circular route from the mills through the fields and back again. As a little kid about ten or so....riding the noisy train seemed like such an adventure!
I can still remember the loud rumbling of the train when it passed by. It was fun placing bottle caps on the tracks and watching them get flattened by the train. I always wanted to jump on the train but was too chicken - besides, how would I get back home if it took me too far! My friends and I would try to throw fruits at the man at the back at the train, just for fun.. Yeah, he'd always yell at us - never really did any harm because we never threw hard enough to even get close! (Thank goodness I'm too old to be spanked since my mom and dad read these newsletters too!)
With the closing of the sugar plantations, the old trains are now used as a tourist attraction. Next time I go home, I think I'll take my ten year old grandson to ride the train. I'll tell him all about my adventures when I was his age and together we'll pretend we're hobos'....... "riding the rails"!
By the way... did I ever tell you I also wanted to be a
cowboy? That's another story for another newsletter........

HAIKU FARMS MINUTE (Monthly update on the rebirth of our family farm on Kauai)  We recently planted approximately 175
ti leaf plants and 35 more papaya trees. Unfortunately, with the recent heavy rains, the fields have all flooded and we lost the entire crop!
We'll wait till the weather gets better to assess the full extent of the damage.
More news next month. - Clarice

Poho - (poh hoh) The hawaiian word for waste or waste time, worthless, not of much  value.
