I heard Lenny Rapozo's reaction to the bird/KIF game situation was "_uck the birds! so don't blame county workers. S... runs downhill. <br /><br />BTW - Wonder when/if the Board of Ethics will check into Lenny's work record? Parks and County workers are disgusted with his consistent absence from work. Seems running Bernard's campaign on county time and money was more important. Hmmm, campaign is over, maybe Lenny will find time to work now. Pretty sure Bernard won't be replacing HIM anytime soon! Heard the game plan is to have Lenny run for Mayor after Bernard.. we're in for a long, nasty run folks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-4089521020541925212010-11-20T11:22:15.782-10:002010-11-20T11:22:15.782-10:00Core values of malama 'aina and aloha 'ain...Core values of malama 'aina and aloha 'aina that respect and value all living things and the land and sea they reside in IS the very essence of who we are as 'Oiwi...of the bones.

Uh,check their bloodline which is Hawaiian or portuguese, or both? Or what the hell does that have to do with cultivating hate? I would think that Bernard and Lenny both being of Hawaiian ancestry that they would have even a wee little bit of knowledge of the Hawaiian culture and the importance of natural resources, species and ecosystems that were and STILL ARE importnat to the Hawaiian culture.

Not a football coach mind you. A Kauai team was hosting a team from Hilo and the conversation turned to the Coqui frog and how bad it had gotten in Hilo. One of the Hilo coaches laughed jokingly and said make sure you don't bring any Coqui back in your baggage when you come to Hilo (they host Kauai next week). The County worker, loud enough for all to hear, said "I like bring back one mongoose to eat the birds".<br /><br />The disdain of the County is entrenched within. Don't believe the PR statements coming from the Mayors Office. Typical BS to pacify the gullible public. All his talk of sustainability is just that...all waha! <br /><br />Dickie Chang did a Walaau segment about the Shear water that was on yesterday and for how much I didn't want him on the Council, I appreciate that he did that. It was quite informative. Quite a special bird. Never knew they could dive 100 feet and stay under water for as much as 5 minutes. As fledglings they are the sweetest things. It is very sad that the mentality of hate is being taught to our impressionable students. What a stellar role model that coach is and the duo of Bernard and Lenny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
