Mahalo To Good Samaritans In Kahalu‘u
Ka‘ohekani, a ground- breaking one-year certif- icate in Hawaiian music, will give participants a deeper understanding of the connection and balance between Hawaiian music and hula. The latest aca- demic offering from Wind- ward Community College is immersive, accelerated and cohort-based. The se- ries of eight-week online classes are taught by Kam- uela Kimokeo (music) and Kawaikapuokalani Frank Hewett (Hawaiian lan- guage, hula).
“In the Hawaiian world- view, balance is something that’s very important; pō, or night or dark, has ao or light. Lani has hōnua and mele has hula,” explains
Kimokeo, in an introducto- ry video for the course.

Kimokeo is the director for the Hawai‘i Music In- stitute at Windward Com- munity College, where he teaches ‘ukulele and slack key guitar. He also performs with Jerry Santos and the group Hi‘ikua. Hewett is a legendary kumu hula, songwriter and recent judge for the Merrie Mon- arch hula competition.
I didn’t get their names. (They were) a young girl and another gentlemen who helped me between 10 and 10:15 a.m. near Ko‘olau Nail Center at Temple Valley on Wednesday, June 23.
They were a tremendous help in getting her back into her walker-chair.

They both stopped to help me, as it was apparent I was having trouble lifting my aunty back to her walk- er-chair. We were on our
