Proposed Ka’upulehu Marine Reserve: Aunty Hannah Springer
Sustainability is a core value of Hawaiian culture, a centuries-old adaptation to an environment where resources are abundant -- but finite. Hannah Springer grew up in the Ka`upulehuahupua’a on North Kona, and has watched its offshore marine resources decline to critical levels. She is a member of the Ka`upulehu Marine Life Advisory Committee, which is asking the Department of Land and Natural Resources for a ten-year moratorium on fishing at Ka’?p?lehu. The group’s motto is “Try Wait,” and Aunty Hannah is on the line with us now.

Shark Behavior in Maui Study: Carl Meyer
The risk of being bitten by a shark in Hawaii’s offshore waters is low, but it’s significantly higher on Maui -- a pattern that was of special interest to scientists at the University of Hawaii’s Institute of Marine Biology. They set out to find out why -- and what they learned is a significant advance in our still-murky understanding of their behavior.

Horses occupy La Pietra11th grader Paris Starn's life. She rides seven days a week, leaving the La Pietra campus on Diamond Head directly for the stables at Maunawili Farm. She also mucks her own stalls, grooms, washes and feeds her horses seven days a week. It’s a deal she made with her father, if she got her horses, La Beau and Ricochet, she had to take care of them. After finishing the school year, she’s headed to Kamuela for the Hawaii State High School Rodeo Competition, home of Parker Ranch is the largest cattle ranch in the US, and the perfect place for a rodeo and it’s not her first.
