Any chance of getting an honest publication out to those thinking of vacationing Maui? Why not tell…read morethem about what they will really experience when coming to this island, like, Cane Burning!! How about we let all those affected by asthma and other breathing problems really know what to expect while staying here. Let them know that they will be subject to the obnoxious smoke and soot fallout created by caneburning and that they will spend a fortune to come and stay here only to be forced to breathe in the horrible smoke filled air. Let them know that they will be Hugely impacted by this so that someone else can continue making huge profits while making the people who paid an exorbetant amount of money to come and visit this island suffer by their can burning. Who knew it was ok to infringe upon so many peoples rights so that one company can make ungodly sums of money? Why not tell people of the world of these actual occrances and what they will really be subject to by coming here? Oh, thats right, you want the tourist dollars!

In my line of work, a little KPOA every day keeps the PTSD away! The emails I've sent back and forth to the Morning Goddess, Sista Val and Island Boy have all been answered, NEVER ignored. (Try getting that from a mainland radio station!) And not only answered, but actually made CONVERSATION! Sometimes the 911 traffic I handle is too much and I have to shut off the stream, but I always come back. Just 30 seconds of KPOA kills off the stress and softens my heartbeat from the last call. I don't understand one syllable of the Island languages, but, oh! those TIGHT harmonies in the music carry such magical healing powers. What stuck me to the station was the theft of heavy construction equipment several years ago, "earth movers", of all things! For several hours the Morning Goddess SHAMED those responsible; I swear I was listening to my mother's voice. So scary! But I would NEVER find that on mainland radio, no matter how far into the countryside I ventured. KPOA has reminded me of the wrongs done to the very core of the Hawaiian people by the removal of their language, and the loss of their land rights. They have helped open my eyes to attitudes and mannerisms that should never be a part of me. Even though the program content is clearly intended for the Maui Ohana, and not this outsider, KPOA welcomes me. They make me feel like family. If that's not ALOHA, what is?

John "Prime" Hina, a street artist from Oahu who has produced over 1000 murals and Noble Richardson, a mural artist on Maui whose work we've enjoyed for years, were guests.

Thank you, Kat, for putting this delightful session together.
