LensedBarking Sands celebratesNaval aviation turns 100Article and photos by Anne E. O’Malleyexcept as noted
Tough to believe the U.S. Navy has been in-volved with aircraft for 100 years. Nothing of that vintage was parked on the grounds of Barking Sands Pacific Missile Range Facil-ity during its recent display as part of the USN’s centennial year of naval aviation. Nonetheless, over 3,200 persons visited the navy base’s Welcome Aboard event honor-ing the occasion and those leaving after taking their fill were impressed with what they saw. From tots on bots—keiki manip-ulating robot controllers—to 28 displays inside a hangar, to 18 navy aircraft at ease on the ground outside, there was plenty to draw the eye and ample servicemen and women to demystify the tech stuff. Meanwhile, the Navy’s Pacific fleet Band had the clear Kekaha sky for its sounds to soar through, not to mention amplifica-tion around the island via Rooster Country 99.9FM broadcasting live.

The next time you pass through the Richard A. Kawakami termi-nal at Lihu‘e Airport, pause to look at the ceramic mural Na Pali on the back wall of the lobby. Once, that artistic rendering had a humbler life—as 15 tons of clay in a river-bed in China. Kaua‘i native son, artist David Kuraoka, designed the mural in

1984, then took it to a clay factory in Ko-rea where he sculpted, glazed and fired it for its installation here in 1986. At the time, he was the head of the Ceramics department at San Francisco State University. A year later, he’d be desig-nated a Hawai‘i Living Treasure by the Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawai‘i. But at the time of the project—the
Hawai‘i State Founda-tion on Culture and the Arts had been talking to him for five years about doing something—he says, “I had never worked with such a scale. When you’re young and cocky, it’s no big deal, but when it comes down to it, it’s gonna be up there—10 feet high by 50 feet wide.” How did Na Pali come to be a ceramic piece? Certainly his
mother inspired him throughout his life. Emiko Kuraoka of Lihu‘e, a retired teach-er, is his numbah one fan. And there was more—a lifelong pull to Na Pali itself. Says Kuraoka, “I used to go to Kalalau all summer, for 30 years; I looked at all the rocks. “They’re just too much—the visuals are beyond holding it

The uncle of a friend would grow nothing on his property unless it was at least a two-fer.It could be attractive, but it also had to be edible. It could form a fence or boundary, but it also had to be edible. It could provide shade, but it also had to be ed-ible. In an age when we’re worried about food se-curity, food safety and food cost, my friend’s uncle seemed to have found a clue. If you’re concerned about what you con-sume, why grow any-thing at home that can’t do double duty as

edibles, and most folks are willing to share with someone who ex-presses an interest. It’s important to re-member that there are also lots of plants that contain toxins. And plants with some ed-ible parts and some in-edible or even poison-

Ten years ago, Adam Asquith decided he wasn’t going to get involved in any more “anti” campaigns. Instead, the fresh water advocate vowed to devote his energy solely to initiatives al-ready moving in what he considers “the right direction”—including hydroelectric power. “When you fight something, it’s a con-stant struggle, it’s not fulfilling,” Asquith ex-plains. In the decade since his epiphany, Asquith has found “tremen-dous satisfaction” growing taro at Kealia and Wailua, and as-sisting Waipa, Stacy Sproat’s culturally-based farming and ecosystem restoration project in Hanalei. “It’s so heart-warm-ing to work with peo-ple who value the soil and water,” he says. Toiling in the taro lo‘i also has caused Asquith to move away from the “hands off” attitude about nature that developed during his years of research-ing damselflies, work-ing as a refuge biolo-gist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and being active in en-vironmental issues. “My relationship with water evolved

from that academic and uniquely Western concept of protection-ist: protect critters and keep water in the stream,” he says. “And being a taro farmer, of course you’ve got to take water out of the stream. I’ve come to see that the human world is part of the natural world. With-out people interacting in the environment, it’s so easy to break that connection with nature and so hard to reconnect.” Asquith, who has two hanai (adopted) children, says that growing taro, from which Hawaiians believe the first hu-man descended, also prompted “a big spiri-tual shift for me. My taro farm is part of my hanai family. To get huli (taro starts), I had to develop relation-ships with farmers to have enough trust in me that I’ll take care of something they produced, something that’s an extension of their family. It’s a big responsibility for me, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure my family survives.” Asquith grew alarmed when he learned that the Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooper-ative had signed a con-tract with Free Flow Power to study the vi-ability of hydroelectric
power on six streams and ditch systems—all key to farming—un-der a process governed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commis-sion (FERC). Asquith believes farmers will end up with less water if the process moves for-ward. “If water’s gonna be shut off to my farm and my children will die, there’s no question what I will do to pro-tect them.” What he did was to launch a petition drive that requires KIUC to hold a general mem-bership meeting on the issue prior to June 9, as well as allow coop members to vote on the Free Flow agree-ment. In the process, As-quith found himself embroiled in one of the “anti” campaigns he’d pledged to avoid. But he sees it as ultimately supporting two posi-tive initiatives: con-tinued local control of water resources and the development of hy-droelectric power. Asquith is con-cerned that the FERC process will generate intense cultural and environmental oppo-sition, resulting in ex-pensive, lengthy litiga-tion that will work to greatly delay or even totally derail hydro as a viable renewable en-

ous parts. And plants that are fine for some folks but cause allergic reactions in others. Peanuts are one example. Mangos are another. There is no shortage of plant species that have multiple benefits. Like the edible hibis-cus whose wide, glossy
leaves are a visual treat, but which also can be tossed into a green sal-ad. The petals of color-ful common hibiscus blossoms can be added as a flashy garnish to green salads. Brightly colored nas-turtium blossoms have a peppery flavor, and nasturtium seed pods can be pickled to make a home-grown sub-stitute for capers. You
can eat rose petals, too. Need a landscape tree? Make it an avo-cado or orange, a white guava or a Samoan co-conut, a dwarf mango or a lychee. Need a bush or a hedge plant? How about strawberry gua-va or Surinam cherry, both of which have at-tractive glossy leaves? Sweet potatoes will cover a patch of ground
with dense foliage. Got a fence? How about training a passion fruit vine, or even Isabella grapes on it? Pick up an Ed-ible Plants for Hawaii Landscapes brochure from the University of Hawai`i’s Cooperative Extension Service, or download one from: ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/L-14.pdf. There’s nothing
like the satisfaction of whipping up a smoothie made en-tirely from the fruit of your own yard: your own bananas, papayas, oranges, and, depend-ing on the time of year, some starfruit, jabong, or other fruits. Or baking up toast-ed coconut chips from a tree that shades the driveway. Or making a salad of breadfruit
chunks — tastes like artichoke hearts. Jan TenBruggencate is an author and the former science writer for The Honolulu Ad-vertiser. He operates a communications com-pany, Island Strategy LLC.

ergy source on Kaua‘i. “I think KIUC did not do their home-work on this one,” he says. “This could leave a bad taste in people’s mouths about hydro when the whole intent was to promote hydro.”
He’d rather see hydro development tied into projects that deliver irrigation wa-ter to farmers, which in turn would promote sustainability and help the island become more self-sufficient in food production. And that, in turn,
leads back to his own desire to “be the change you want to see in the world,” to bor-row a quote from Gan-dhi. “You can live your values,” he says. “It takes time, it’s more difficult and it leaves you with no time for the things society tells you are important. But really, they’re not im-portant, and they’re not the values we pro-fess to hold. It’s hard to make the shift, but when you do, life is so much more fulfilling, so much richer.”

KIUC defends FERC choiceby Joan Conrow
David Bissell, chief executive officer for Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative, believes rate payers will benefit from pursuing hydroelectric power under a process governed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
“It’s a well-defined, transparent process that requires intensive involve-ment by all stakeholders,” Bissell says, adding that it’s required for navi-gable waterways like the Wailua River.
Adam Asquith disagrees, noting the state vigorously opposed a previous attempt to develop hydro on the Wailua River under the FERC process because it supercedes Hawai‘i’s unique water laws and gives developers the power of eminent domain.
Bissell says that if KIUC didn’t stake its claim to study the feasibility of hydro on Kaua‘i, “a for-profit developer could get in place before us.” And that likely would mean higher electric costs for rate payers.
The utility chose to contract with Free Flow Power to help it through the FERC process because the company has “high caliber professionals” on staff to do many of the required studies, and KIUC does not.
The fate of the contract with Free Flow ultimately will be decided by a vote of KIUC members. If they turn it down and reject FERC, Bissell says that could mean an end to the utility’s foray into hydro.
“I would not recommend we go forward investing possibly millions of dollars without the FERC process because someone could jump in front of us,” he says.

Na Palifrom page 4
in your head, beyond what I remember. It’s not like drawing this rock or this piece, it’s definitely spiritual, breathtaking, beyond inspiration.” Which is how it hap-pened, for the sake of art, that Kuraoka found himself making about six, 10-day to two-week trips to Ko-rea over a year’s time to work on Na Pali the mural. He asked Kaua‘i friends Shigeru Miyamoto and Gay-lord Fukumoto to trav-el with him, and friend Melani Nagao also ac-companied the group
once to photograph and video the fabrica-tion. Twenty Korean fac-tory workers pum-meled and wedged the clay to push the air out of it. Kuraoka laid a billboard-size pa-per design on the clay and poked through the paper, drew lines and built up the relief. When finished, the mural was a solid piece that Kuraoka then cut into 650 parts, hol-lowed out in the back and labeled for easier re-assembly once it ar-rived on Kaua‘i. The 25th anniver-sary of the installation of Na Pali prompted the designer of the
airport concourse window displays, Car-ol K. Yotsuda, a re-tired art teacher who has known Kuraoka since his Kaua‘i High School days, to design an exhibit on the mu-ral. Photos from the mural-making process and more are on dis-play on the Hawaiian Airlines side of the concourse. In addition, Yot-suda has organized a semi-retrospective of Kuraoka’s work in the foreground of the HAL window and has carried it over into the United Airlines side of the airport. Both win-dows carry their dis-plays through July.
Read more about artist David Kuraoka from his hanabutta days when he pumped his bicycle up Kalepa in Hanama‘ulu, look-
ing for foxholes and dodging barbed wire left behind post WWII, through his emerging designs, exhibits and current work. It’s all

her husband, Orlando, took time out from a six-day work week to talk about how she loves her job. “My job is to serve Kaua‘i, our communi-ty, and to share my life and love with others,” she says. “It’s not just about food. “When people come to Rainbow Liv-ing Foods, they find a home and many change their lives after coming here. A lady from London came here and said it was the first time she’d discov-ered this kind of food, and she was here every
single day of her vaca-tion.” Netto, a vegan for 20 years—vegans nei-ther eat nor use animal products—says she’s eaten only raw foods for the last 10 years. Why has she chosen this path? “I come from a fam-ily that is obese. There are heart disease and diabetes problems, and I felt like I did not want that to happen to me,” she says. “I’m not living just to eat, but am eating to live.” She and friends who began eating raw were “having excellent re-sults, both physical and mental,” she adds.
Eating raw is no privation; on the con-trary, it’s delicious, according to Netto. It takes time, as in the case of bread made from sprouted seeds and nuts that may be in process for four days, from soaking to sprouting to dehy-drating. Nothing is prepared at more than 118 degrees so that en-zymes and minerals remain active. If you want to start with something di-vine, Netto suggests trying the crème de la crème dish, her tira-misu. She adds, “People love, love, love our ta-cos—and our rainbow
burger, a veggie patty.” Netto also offers Sunday workshops when five or more peo-ple request it, teaching how to do some ba-sic raw food prepara-tions and recipes. She accepts requests via phone at 821-9759. Rainbow Living Foods
does catering and once even had a wedding in the small restaurant with over 30 people, all arranged by telephone with the party on the mainland. “I Iove to change lives for people,” says Netto. “Many people come not just for food,
but they want to talk to me.” Come eat or talk Monday through Fri-day from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. or on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Rainbow Living Foods is closed on Sunday.

Dr. New Sang helps with sports physicals.
Urgent Care open Every Single Day...Including Weekends!
Owen Prentice, MD
Kicking off the summer with KIDS SUMMER FEST
Dr. Brady will be back to help host the Kids Summer Fest and announce the winners of the bicycle drawing.
Interactive games help kids learn about health and safety.
Saturday, June 4, 20118:30 a.m. - 12:00 noonKaua‘i Beach Resort
Summer time can be a fun time for children’s
activities, and free play is a healthy way for kids
to get exercise and be creative. Because kids are
old enough to play on teams at about age five
or six, the Kids Summer Fest features free sports
physicals for kids age 5-18, on a first come, first
served basis.
Pediatrician Dr. New Sang, of Kaua‘i Medical
Clinic, has been a volunteer doctor at the Sports
Physicals of the annual Kids Summer Fest for the
past several years. “These physical exams are
done to detect any physical hindrance that
might affect a child’s performance, whether
it is a knee injury or heart disease,” says Dr.
Sang, past co-chair of the Kids Summer Fest,
who has helped organize the Sports Physicals
feature of the event. “During a sports physical
at the Kids Summer Fest, a qualified pediatrician
will examine a child’s heart, lungs, and internal
organs, while a qualified orthopedic specialist,
like Dr. Sam Chen, will examine the muscles,
bones, and joints to ensure that the child can
safely participate in the sport of their choice. “
Just like last year, pediatricians and orthopedic
physicians and nurses of Kaua‘i Medical Clinic
will be volunteering their time to perform sports
physical for the participants of Kids Summer
Fest on Kaua‘i. It is a fun day for kids and it’s free!

Managing diabetes is a little
easier when you get some help
from health care professionals.
The comprehensive diabetes
management program at Kaua’i
Medical Clinic is part of the
Health Management Program
(HMP). Recently the program,
led by physician assistant, Don
Traller, received approval by the
American Academy of Diabetes
Educators as a certified program.
One of the “extra special”
services to patients is access to
a certified diabetes educator.
A certified diabetes educator is
a health care professional who
is specialized and certified to
teach people with diabetes or pre
diabetes how to manage their
condition. Diabetes educators
apply in-depth knowledge
and skills in the biological and
social sciences, communication,
counseling, and education
to provide self-management
education/self-management
training.
Mary Roush, a registered nurse
with Kaua’i Medical Clinic for the
past 25 years, was one of the first
health care professionals on Kaua’i
to receive her certification. “I work
with those patients who need to
learn the tools and skills necessary
to control their blood sugar and
avoid long-term complications
due to high blood sugar, and I can
spend as much time with a person
who has diabetes as is needed
both for educational purposes
and emotional support,” said
Mary. “We focus on seven key
behaviors that promote successful
self-management: Healthy eating,
being active, monitoring, taking
medication, problem solving,
healthy coping and reducing
risks.”
The Health Management Program
at Kaua’i Medical Clinic is expanding
to provide diabetes education
services at all their neighborhood
clinics on Kaua’i. Mary, along with
Don Traller PA-C, CDE, is currently
involved in mentoring two new
diabetes educators, Norrisa
Ahlgren, RN and Danielle Hill, RN,
MPH. For more information on
managing your diabetes, call the
Health Management Program at
245-1500.

Mahalo Surgical Staff, “Recently I faced great
apprehension: an EGD and
colonoscopy procedure.
Immediately upon arrival in
Same Day Surgery, nurse
Judith Matola competently
and with compassion
started alleviating my fears.
The anesthesiologist, Dr.
Howard Chen, really listened
as he checked me out. I am
especially grateful to Dr.
Keith. His prep procedure
was almost a piece of cake.
I want to thank the staff for
the ease and comfort of the
procedure. We are lucky to

Ryan Like mills poi. Photo by Anne E. O’Malley
Island ActivitiesPoi, made from kalo, is a staple of the Hawaiian diet. Roughly two thirds of the kalo grown for poi in Hawai‘i is grown here on Kaua‘i, in the Hanalei Valley. Each Thursday at Waipa—a Hawaiian-managed land di-vision, or ahupua‘a, of 1,600 acres in the valley—families as a group purchase kalo from local farmers. Many gather to prepare it for milling poi that goes to about 100 families around the island that same day. Waipa offers a hands-on op-portunity for “out-of-the-box” visitor volunteers who seri-ously enjoy connecting with host cultures. It’s definitely not a swing-by photo op. Respect is key here. Come to Waipa by 8 a.m. —about a half mile beyond Hanalei School, on the left —and don’t expect to leave until noon, after partak-ing of a delicious farm grown-and-raised spread. Wear old clothes, get splashed and dirty, and you’ll leave with a bag of poi and a lifetime of memories. “Come help and you’ll re-ceive so much more,” says Stacy Sproat-Beck, executive director of the Waipa Founda-tion. Learn more about Waipa at www.waipafoundation.org, or call 826. 9969. Here are some Na ‘Olelo—Hawaiian words—for you to use.ahupua‘a—pie-shaped land division extending from the uplands to the seakalo—taromalama—care forpoi—mashed kalo mixed with water

Community Television on Kaua‘i
YOUR VOICE COUNTS ON HO‘IKEHo’ike: Kauai Community Television is a treat for the eyes broadcasting programs designed and developed by our residents. Individuals with a wide spectrum of interests present their video programs each day on Community Access Oceanic Cable Channel 52. The regular programming includes a wide variety of cultural issues, arts and enter-tainment, sports, inspirational, and health and well-being. You might see shows with an obvious lean, right or left or in between. The one caveat is that the channel is non-commercial. Kauai’s community access allows you to express your ideas and explore topics that are important to you. There are a number of ways to share your point of view with your neighbors. Each month Ho’ike conducts Basic Video Production courses that provide you with easy to follow primary training in camera operation, audio and lighting, field production techniques and editing in Final Cut Pro. Once certified, a producer has full access to the equipment and facilities at Ho’ike. Another way to get on the cable channel is to appear on either the “Open Mic” or “Community Camera” programs. Each Tuesday afternoon Ho’ike records the free speech exercise in the media center studio. Open Mic offers five-minutes in front of the camera on a first come first served basis. Community Camera allows for a ten-minute presen-tation on the third Tuesday of each month. Reservations are required for Community Camera. Reservations can be made by visiting Ho’ike on Rice Street or calling 246-1556. Access to Kauai’s cable channel is open to all residents of our island. Anyone can submit a program with the appropriate submission form. All residents are free to take advantage of the Open Mic and Community Camera opportuni-ties. Certified producers have ac-cess to the equipment and facili-ties. Ho’ike is a private non-profit corporation providing residents of Kauai training and education for public, government and education access to cable television.
Have you ever thought about what you’re eat-ing? The 100 calorie pack or lean frozen dinner may sound healthy, but oftentimes those processed foods are filled with chemi-cals, “food-like” sub-stances, and preserva-tives, none of which is really that good for you. You may read nutri-tion labels, but when was the last time you read an ingredient la-bel? Try eating food without ingredient lists—fresh fruit and vegetables—or foods with a short list of identifiable ingredi-ents. If you don’t know what it is, you probably shouldn’t put it into your body. Cutting out just one 12-ounce soda a day could help you lose 15 pounds by the end of
FIT: Food, Water, & Exercise—Three Simple Keys to Good Health
a year, not to mention ridding your body of artificial colors, fla-vors, high fructose corn syrup—or worse, aspartame—and emp-ty calories. Thankfully, you have a practically free source of thirst quenching goodness flowing freely from your tap. For a healthy twist, add a lime or lemon to your water, or try sparkling water for a carbonated kick. Fill a pitcher of water in your refrigerator and throw in some fruit—pineapples are great, or mint leaves—and let the water infuse with the flavors. Getting into an ex-ercise routine can improve your health, energize you, allow quality sleep, and pro-mote a more positive attitude.

aptain Chris of Na Pali Riders has the only raft company consistently touring the ENTIRE 17 miles
of the Na Pali Coast.* Captain Chris says, “Touring the Na Pali Coast truly is a once-in-a-lifetime
experience. We make sure that our passengers get to see it all including the famous sites of Hanakoa Valley, Hanakapi‘ai Valley, the Pirates Sea Cave,
and the Double Door Cave. These are some of the most significant attractions on the Na Pali Coast and should not be missed.”
The Na Pali Riders’ difference starts with attention to detail in all aspects of our Na Pali Coast Raft Tour. We offer a ride on our state-of-the-art 30-foot, 920 Zodiac raft.
Departures are from the West Side’s Kikiaola Harbor in Waimea, the closest harbor to the Na Pali Coast. Snorkeling takes place at one of three different locations depending on currents, water clarity and conditions permitting. All beginning snorkelers have our experienced and knowledge-able crewmen as their personal guides.
The Na Pali Riders difference is unbelievable. We are the only ones to guarantee satisfaction or you can go again FREE. Call direct (808) 742-6331 for reser-vations. We also provide discounts for Military, Kama’aina, and Groups.
