Hawaii Island GMO Moratorium Decision: Ashley Lukens
It’s becoming a pattern anti-GMO activists don’t like. A county passes a GMO related law, only to have it overturned by a federal judge. In August, he made his decision regarding Kauai modified crops and pesticide law, and last week, for the Hawaii Island GMO ban. Meanwhile, Maui County’s ban is still in question and may get the same treatment. GMO opponents are continuing to work statewide and how their position may manifest with state agencies and in the coming legislative session is in the scopes. Ashley Lukens of the Hawaii Center for Food Safetyjoined the show with her perspective on what’s next.

WalletHub Charitable States Study: Jill Gonzalez
There is a myth that we keep hearing… Hawaii residents are among the most generous and quick to spread charitable aloha. Well maybe not.

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Auditions: Cass Foster
Upon its release, Edward Albee’s play “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” set off shock waves in the American theater world that are still being felt today. The play has been imitated so many times in other works that we may wonder what was so shocking to audiences more than fifty years ago. The play retains its power, though, and director Cass Foster is casting a new production for the Kauai Community Players. He’ll need two couples, and they’d better be ready for some on-stage fireworks. Cass joined the show via phone from Kaua‘i.
