The 'best-connected journalist' in Puna.
-- Hawaii Island Journal 

Press Releases
All natural
The owner

I was a reporter for close to 17 years at the Hawaii Tribune-Herald until October 2005, when I joined the growing ranks of union leaders now formerly employed by the newspaper. (For more about what's happening at the Tribune-Herald, check out the Hawaii Newspaper Guild web site.) Since then I've been the Hilo unit representative for the Guild, a freelance writer, photographer, and blogger.  Puna has been my family's home since 1993.

Kupuna Emma Kauhi

DateMonday, November 20, 2006 at 12:36PM

I would be sadly remiss in failing to note the recent passing of Emma Kauhi, who died Nov. 8 at age 90. Aunty Emma kindly helped this malihini reporter at the start of his Big Island career, and was gracious whenever called on for information or comments over the years. Her rich legacy is part of the Hula Preservation Society Web site, a wonderful resource and tribute to hula. Click for a brief bio and photos.

My condolences. I have never heard of Aunty Emma but I am sure she will be missed by the Puna community.

E Hawai`i, e ku`u one hanau e O Hawaii, O sands of my birth
Ku`u home kulaiwi nei My native home
`Oli no au i na pono lani e I rejoice in the blessings of heaven
E Hawai`i, aloha e O Hawaii, aloha

Hui Chorus:
E hau`oli na `opio o Hawai`i nei Happy youth of Hawaii
`Oli e! `Oli e! Rejoice! Rejoice!
Mai na aheahe makani e pa mai nei Gentle breezes blow
Mau ke aloha, no Hawai`i Love always for Hawaii

E ha`i mai kou mau kini lani e May your divine throngs speak
Kou mau kupa aloha, e Hawai`i Your loving people, O Hawaii
Na mea `olino kamaha`o no luna mai The holy light from above
E Hawai`i, aloha e O Hawaii, aloha

Na ke Akua e malama mai ia `oe God protects you
Kou mau kualono aloha nei Your beloved ridges
Kou mau kahawai `olinolino mau Your ever glistening streams
Kou mau mala pua nani e Your beautiful flower gardens

Aloha Nui Loa - Tita
