Used to fish all over the island - Larsen Beach, Lawai Kai, Mahaulepuu, etc. Where have they gone? Never saw anything like seasonal kapus on fishing because fishes were abundant. Best fishing grounds were excess mill water discharges into the sea (including the ditch near Gillin house). Neighbors used to settle problems with barking dogs, cats, smoke, etc. People were cooperative and caring then. What works on the mainland does not work here because the islands are unique.<br /><br />DinkydaoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-58803251232166611022016-07-05T12:14:30.158-10:002016-07-05T12:14:30.158-10:00"smoked meat(goat, deer, beef, pork)" we..."smoked meat(goat, deer, beef, pork)" were made to preserve the catch. like the way the Indians did to bison. what happened to the bison is what some nationalities did to the locals. sad, but they had their reasons. just like the reddies, they have their reasons. easy money, just fuck the bluedies. get the results .... make us fear gmos. some people don't change. go on face book to show off their intellectual minds. not too bright some of them. but they communicate with each other. they think they making Kauai a better place....no mo hope smoke dopeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-44760237193390769852016-07-05T11:59:27.853-10:002016-07-05T11:59:27.853-10:00Hooser's anti-fireplace BillHooser's anti-fireplace BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-53279010362088477652016-07-05T11:40:40.254-10:002016-07-05T11:40:40.254-10:00@ 8:28 "What has changed is newcomers have c...@ 8:28 "What has changed is newcomers have chosen not to adapt to local ways but rather change them."<br /><br />Can you kindly give an example?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-62238384202595185782016-07-05T10:22:41.830-10:002016-07-05T10:22:41.830-10:008:28 @ 7/5.

Grew up on this island and we didn't hate each other equally ethnically because hate was not in our vocabulary. We may have misunderstood each other's culture but were tolerant (so much not so today). Differences were settled amicably without the need of many ordinances and resulting lawsuits we have now. What has changed is newcomers have chosen not to adapt to local ways but rather change them. That has led to the many confrontations (red vs. blue) on this island over many issues.<br /><br />DinkydaoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-81137288943442370432016-07-05T08:28:17.576-10:002016-07-05T08:28:17.576-10:00Kauai is not the microcosm of the Nation as some p...Kauai is not the microcosm of the Nation as some people think it is. A lot of people need to understand what or how Kauai developed with the ethnic backgrounds of each nationality. Somebody once said that the reason we all get along with each other is that we all hate each other the same. Our ancestors instilled pride in us to be proud of your race. For a while one had to marry their own race. That did not last long. Our ancestors instilled tradition in us so we could teach our children and their children who we are. Our ancestors taught us to respect the elders, respect the land, respect the teachers... Our ancestors taught us values. Today with the red vs. blue there is no respect for the other person, there is no pride. People like force one another to take their side of the issue. They have different values and styles. Why is there a need to propagate hatred and disrespect for us?

It doesn't matter is the mayor is caught doing anything he can do no wrong. Or if a hired accountant finds a bunch of problems in things like the mayor using county funds for personal use. Or how about the council chair Repozo. That slimeball was the dirtiest cop ever implicated in sexual abuse of a prisoner and noted for his corruptness. And the bright folks of Kauai voted him in. It's plain old racism as is the vigilante vacation rental snitches. How may locals own TVR's. None to nil. This place has a history of the have and have not's. The have not's do what they can to do the have's a disservice. Racism. That's the driving force here. I see stink eye every day from perfect strangers. Have at me all you whining fools. I have seen nothing but shit talking in here. Well here's some aimed at you and you and you who constantly bad moth everything. You're unhappy people. Do something constructive for a change. I admit i read this stuff to see what the sideline quarterbacks are saying for a laugh. It's sad though.Yeah lets vote based on faces 1:59 That's real bright. Just for the face change? really? Try to come up with a meaningful comment and let us know why your same old faces need a change. Shallow and negative. The one of you who goes sneaking around looking for people doing wrong. You know who you are. You really have nothing better to do?

Its a certain form of power that can be used as a source of pride or to alienate and diminish others. Many on the current council use their birth place in a racist way in divisive politics. <br /><br />Localism is the same in NYC, many beach towns, Paris - it just means that people will think of anything they can to make themselves seem more important than others. It is especially prevalent in those who have not had opportunity for much travel in the world. <br /><br />Birth place, money, skin color, good looks, guns, clothes, political views, education, all the same - just things we humans use to one-up each other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-60473237615493137532016-07-03T17:02:21.411-10:002016-07-03T17:02:21.411-10:00Nadine is a fresh face,from private business and t...Nadine is a fresh face,from private business and terrific mother to having entered and aced her first council election coming out number one, was asked to be and excelled as the Executive county manager, and is now running for her second elected office.Certainly she should be elected over Fern for her abilities ,experience, knowledge and is the right person to represent the north shore and east side you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-85348296956958925192016-07-03T15:44:12.495-10:002016-07-03T15:44:12.495-10:00Never understood the mentality that the ONLY peopl...Never understood the mentality that the ONLY people fit to govern have to be born and raised on Kauai.
