Mark Ozaki was waiting for Saturday night. He started his shift at 6 a.m. Friday, worked through the Kapa‘a High graduation, did Kapa‘a’s Project Graduation, and had golf cart duty at the opening day of K-PAL flag football. That is more than a plateful.
Congratulations to all the graduates! Waimea High School principal Bill Arakaki was recuperating at Kukui Grove Saturday, coach Trent Shimabukuro was on duty Friday at the Kapa‘a shindig, and was nice to see Ruthchelle Melchor, Kapa‘a graduate and former Miss Kaua‘i Filipina (this year’s pageant is June 16).
Hats off to Gilmore Youn, Raymond Toguchi, Larry Fernandez, Carlton Ito and all (!!!) the people who worked to host the graduation at the New Kapa‘a Ball Park … everything went smoothly.
Raymond Duarte was able to park his audio van right behind one of the bleachers and with the Junior ROTC people “standing guard,” had a pretty good view of what was going on. Mahalo to Col. Jerald Knudsen for the tour of the grounds before everything started.
Janice Bond was happy with the turnout for the summer reading program registration Saturday at Kukui Grove … she said it’s because the sound system carries all across the mall now. Jonell Kaohelaulii was also working and hats off to Alfred Darling and the Red Cross people for doing such a good job with the hurricane preparedness expo.
Mark Jeffers had pictures of the new gardens coming up behind the Storybook Theater, and he and Ed Ka‘ahea did a pretty good dialogue about the Palolo Valley chicken.
