A‘ole Monsanto
While the Thirty Meter Telescope demonstrators are busy on the mountain issue, the land is getting poisoned by Monsanto and other hideous corporate pesticides. However, there is not hardly one a‘ole being said about it.
While everyone focuses on Mauna Kea telescopes, poisons are being poured into our lands, rivers and agricultural resources.
The sacred mountains and the land that are below them need to be loved and nurtured! A telescope does not compare to the destruction caused by poisonous pesticides and organically modified organisms.
A‘ole to Monsanto and all substances that will harm the people. Perhaps the telescopes will find another planet for Monsanto and the fascists to infect. Leave Hawaii alone; enough damage has been done!
People of this island need some common understanding as to where the harm is being done.

Investigate principals
This is a response to “Honokaa High principal placed on leave” (14 May, Tribune-Herald).
What is described here is happening in the Keaau-Ka‘u-Pahoa complex. There needs to be an audit of Puna principals. How many have ruthlessly retaliated against classroom teachers who question policies, teaching lines and treatment of students, staff and faculty? What is the number?
The public should be informed about how many substitute teachers are teaching in jobs vacated by harassed and targeted teachers.
I am one of those teachers. I am using my sick leave due to stress, especially regarding the Evaluator Effectiveness System, where everything I say is used to rate me “unsatisfactory.”
The emperor and empress have been wearing fine new clothes. I guess they cannot get away this in Honokaa anymore!

He paid it back
Why are people so eager to believe the worst? Mayor Billy Kenoi made some charges to a county charge card and paid them back with interest! He never intended to hide anything.
Maybe he should have realized that it wouldn’t look good, but I don’t think he realized how vicious people can be. As a politician, he probably should have known that, too. He certainly knows it now!
