Experience your pet deserves, experience you can trust.
RRReow!!!!! RRRRRREOW!!!!!! RRRREOWWWWW!!!

What is going on? One minute I am basking in the sun out on the lanai in my new
Hawaiian digs, the next I am being assailed by an unseen force. I have endured boarding
for a month, and 2, count them, 2 trips to the airport before my sister and I finally
arrived on Oahu only to have my mother promptly put me on yet another plane to Kona.
Clearly enough is enough, but wait I’m being attacked by something that looks
and smells like something I should be chasing or eating but this thing, this oh my
…RRRREEOOOWWW!!!!!
Help me! Something is stuck to my leg. My front leg is now shaking uncontrollably, yet this
green monster has me, no matter how hard I shake, it will not let me go. REOOOWWW!!!
The more I shake the harder it holds on, why?
WHY? WHY????? RRREOWWWW!!! Where is my mother? Can’t she hear me? Wait,
here she comes, she will know what to do. REOOWWWW!!!! Help me I cry REOWWWW!!
HURRY UP AND HELP ME.
Wait...Why is she laughing? I am being attacked and she is REOOOWWWW laughing
at me and pointing. What is going on here? The more I shake my leg and cry out for help
REOWWWW, the more she laughs. This is not fair! Not fair at all. My tail is puffed up
like a raccoon, all the hair on my body is standing at attention REEEOOOWWW and
this green thing is stuck to me and my mother is laughing at me and wait SHAKING, Dr. Jacob Head
REALLY SHAKING NOW REOOOWWWWW!!! It’s gone! I see it hurtling through the air. Dr. Jacob Head was voted Best
Veterinarian in West Hawaii.
It has to be at least 6 feet away and still going because I am running the other direction
as fast as I can. I need to get higher. Where do I go? Up, up, up faster and higher to the
top of the metal thing in the living room. I am up 10 feet in the air and the relentless
creature is still where it sailed to waiting to attack me again. My hair is still standing at
attention and my leg feels like it is broken, tired and sore from all the shaking. My mom
is standing and laughing now at the bottom of this metal contraption she is calling
a ladder, saying, “Come down Jenner, come here buddy”, like we are friends! She has
spent the last few minutes laughing her head off at me, now she thinks we should be
friends. Right, just wait until I accidentally miss the litter box. Traitor I think, but what
comes out of my mouth is MEOWW! Meow!! Really pathetic, I am pathetic. I hope my
sister Rune did not see this. I am so embarrassed. My mom takes me down and walks
me back to the scene of the most terrifying event of my life, she puts me face to face
with this breathless, lifeless green villain and tells me, “ Jenner this is a Gecko”. A gecko Aloha Pussy Cat
I think, really? I sit there a moment then put out my paw and smacked the beast to make Written By Jolene Head
sure the fiend has indeed died. To the victor go the spoils I think. Just for the record the
spoils taste like chicken. www.keauhouvet.com

Mahalo to Cecily Reading of Kailua-Kona for sharing this photo,

which she captured on June 4 while snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay.
“I shot it from in the water. It is an Olympus underwater camera. I
lifted it out of the water to try and get the jump, which I have done
tons of times, but never captured it before now! I was blown away
when I saw it. It was about 8:30 a.m. and I was pretty far out, maybe
two-thirds of the way to the monument.” Ýä

land and each other, a template of how life can be.”
Creating a bond between cultures and celebrating the human
spirit drive the premise of the movie, but worked into the fabric
of the film’s sub-themes is the focus on the unity of the Kohala
‘ohana and establishing a sustainable model for existence.
“When a kupuna dies (it’s as if an) entire library is lost,” Nealy
said, explaining that in his sunset years Sproat understood the
significance of this legacy and agreed to let Nealy share his story
in the form of a documentary. “He understood the wisdom he
held and we are deeply honored to have his and his wife Cheri’s
blessing to carry his story to the people of Hawai’i.”
Since Sproat’s passing in December of 2008, Nealy has taken
his documentary process to the community to gather what he
refers to as Kohala’s mana. He is interviewing numerous kupuna,
friends, musicians and those touched by Sproat’s life. He plans to
interweave all the stories together to create a film that tells the
story of a man and the impact he had locally and globally.

“The way I work on this type of film is I let all the recorded ma-
terial speak to me. I sit with it and listen… and it tells me what it
wants to be… where it wants to go. I learned many years ago to
trust the process and stay out of the way,” he said.
As with his previous culturally sensitive films, Nealy is work-
ing with two friends, Kaniela “Danny” Akaka and Kumu Raylene
Kawaiae’a. On “A Gift to the Heart,” the pair share their mana’o
and making sure that everything in the film is pono.
The documentary film, under the financial umbrella of the
North Kohala Community Resource Center, is currently in the
production stage. When completed, the film will be self-dis-
tributed to film festivals and will be shown on public television

Nealy, a student of Hawaiian history, has numerous affiliations WKHUDS\DYDLODEOHLQ+DZDLL
within the island community. His closest connection formed dur-
ing filming was when he shaped a friendship with then captain
of the Makaliì, Clayton “Cap” Bertelmann and his younger broth-

for Nealy to collaborate with respected community members
such as Herb Kane, Chadd Paishon, Pomai Bertelmann
and Ku Kahakalau on various culturally informative and
educational projects.
Aside from Nealy’s extensive resume of professional experi-
ence as a director, producer and cinematographer, it is his kind
spirit, genuine interest and ability to make his interviewees feel
at ease that has contributed to his success as a filmmaker. As an
active member of the Mankind Project, an international orga-

Through Art You Can Change a Life

“When I was born, I had two severe club feet,” says Bryan.
His mother, Violet Lowry, was told, “He’ll never walk.” Dr.
Corbett of the Easter Seals Society entered their lives and
said, “I can fix it.”
It took seven surgeries to turn his feet around and he had
six surgeries on his hands in the first 12 years of his life. He
wore braces similar to Forrest Gump, even to bed.
So Lowry has developed a plan to give back to the program
that brought him to his mastery. Without Easter Seals, he
would not have been able to walk the thousands of miles it
has taken him to know, develop and share his gift for giving
eyes to the volcano.

dozen different veggies; jewel-like roots and leafy greens; plus
rich, glisten-y peppers begging to be picked for a still life.
But dominating the corner, with the longest line and most se-
ductive of smells, is Sandwich Isle Bread Company, flagged with
the tall smokestack of its Le Panyol oven on the little red trailer.
Smiling and chatting, Kay Cabrera and coworker Karen
Warthman happily tempt customers with bread crumbs, cookie
crumbles, coconut muffins and cranberry orange scones. A pile
of empty baskets on the side speaks to the success of the main
event this morning: warm, crisp-crusted, tender-hearted,
artisan bread.
“Try it with some of our local Hula Cow butter,” Kay says, nod-
ding at the inevitable mmmm’s. “Isn’t it? He’ll have more bread
ready in about half an hour.”
Behind them, “itinerant baker” Kevin Cabrera talks about
hearth baking as he places perfectly-shaped loaves of pane pug-
liese (Italian peasant bread) onto a long-handled peel to slide
into the igloo-shaped oven. Each loaf is hand-formed;
the ingredients are high quality—organic whenever possible.
Pane pugliese is one of up to 16 different varieties of artisan
breads, foccacia, pizza rounds and other choices available on a
given day.
“The attraction to baking for me,” says Cabrera, “is when I have
the peel in my hand and I’m pulling the bread out and it’s hot-
hot-hot and making that sound and it smells real.” He pauses to
check the temperature with a laser thermometer.
“I mean, at the resorts, you would plate up 900 dinners for a
banquet, with piles of dinner rolls and a display from the freezer,”
says Cabrera. “It’s backwards. Faster and more is not necessarily
better. That’s the American model for success. But I say keep it
small, keep it local. Elevate the community with it.”
Historically, bread has always been a community tradition, as
wheat farmers from the surrounding areas would all take their
grain to a central village mill to grind it into flour for bread. Mill-
ers were some of the earliest bankers, according to Cabrera. “It
was all about trust.”
As for ovens, the Egyptians may have invented them. Early
bakers used earthenware “tandur” pots, placed mouth-down
over a fire to keep heat around the dough as it cooked. Later
Greek bakers thought to turn the tandur on its side, with a door

The Hawai‘i Bamboo Society is also advocating using local
&DOO&LQG\IRU bamboo as a building material. “We’re trying to get various
PRUHGHWDLOV bamboo species approved for building homes here in Hawai‘i”
says Donna Manion, vice president of the Hawai‘i Bamboo
Society. “The process is very time consuming and slow, it is very
expensive to set up and it takes a lot of dedication. We are a very
determined organization, and we want to make locally-grown
bamboo available for use as an approved building material.”
Even though the process has been slow and difficult, she says
they are effectively working through all the red tape and making
progress in getting those certifications.
A very active organization on Hawai‘i Island, Hawai‘i Bamboo
Society members are growing a variety of bamboo that will be
suitable for use in furniture and home building. Now their main
emphasis is on education and outreach, and also working with
the regulatory agencies to get some viable species of bamboo
approved through the UCC.
“Once some of the bamboo species are approved,” says Man-
ion, “our members can then market bamboo as a viable green, al-
ternative building material. This will hopefully spur a new green
industry in Hawai‘i and even export this back to the Mainland.”

site at www.americanbamboo.org. The Society will be having

T ake three pedigreed and talented musicians with
mutual respect for one another. Add patience, persever-
ance, family, community, faith and friends. Combine
together in a laid-back home environment utilizing a
strong work ethic. Stay focused while bringing and shar-
ing joy through music. Remember the past fondly while
living Aloha and looking towards the future. Throw in
a dash of good-natured humor. The Result? Mili Nanea,

spirit are far-reaching.
