Scouts honor the departed

Thor Saiki, 18, of Boy Scout Troop 46, levels headstones and realigns the landscape for his Eagle Scout project Feb. 4 in a The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints section of Alae Cemetery in Hilo. Saiki completed his project with the help of other Boy Scouts and members of the Kaumana, Kilauea and Keaukaha wards of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Saiki took the guidance of Aukai Sewell, who performed the same service for his Eagle Scout project 37 years ago.
