Ka Leo O Nä Koa Hurricane Katrina hits Home By Joshua Masuda On Friday, August 25, “Hurricane Katrina” first made landfall on American soil. On August 29th, it hit New Orleans and left our nation on its knees. With heavy rains and winds up to 175 mph, it was no wonder the people of New Orleans had to evacuate. Even though Hawaii is thousands of miles away, people here were affected by this devastating Hurricane. Some of them walk on our campus this very moment. Awapuhi Dancil a senior has a friend affected by this disaster. Dancil’s friend, Sarah Skiles, was from Mississippi. “At first I didn't even think Sara was in any danger... I didn't put two and two together. Then I read a caption in the paper about the damage that happened in her town. I was really worried,” Dancil said. Fortunately, Awa’s friend was not directly hit by the storm, and she and her family are doing fine. Like Dancil, Su Lun Guth a sophomore also had a friend affected by this catastrophe. “I called my friend the day after it hit and asked her if everyone and everything wa s o ka y,” sh e sa id . Chantelle Ferrari was a classmate of Guth until she moved to Covington, which is a small town in Louisiana that was affected by Katrina. “We evacuated and stayed away for two weeks in California;
we came back to a miracle,” Ferrari said. Her block had trees that had fallen and water was up to her knees but Ferari’s house was intact, no tree had fallen, and the water had come just up to her doorstep. Kayla Meyer, also a sophomore didn’t realize the extent of the damage until she saw it on the news. “Honestly, I wasn't even aware of what was happening until the news showed how horrible the damage was. It’s so sad to see the victims struggling.” It was once said “United We stand and divided
All donations went to victims of Katrina and The Red Cross. “It’s a good idea, and a great way to raise money for the victims,” Guth said. “Even us all the way in Maui we’re doing all that we can to help those affected by this disaster” Meyer said. Congratulations to the faculty and staff for winning the penny wars. Between all three campuses of KSMC, $4,335 was raised.
Our School After Doe Student Poll By Kayla Meyer This summer’s announcement of the court’s decision to allow non Hawaiian children into Kamehameha Schools has caused quite a buzz throughout the campus. Students and faculty alike have realized that if this decision sticks, it threatens to change everything we know. Although an overwhelming majority would say that John Doe was unjust in his efforts to bring about the downfall of the Kamehameha Schools admissions policy, the real question is not whether the decision was right or wrong, but rather, how will Kamehameha Schools be affected by this decision?

The Kamehameha School's students, faculty, and parents have many opinions on the future of this school. Whether the admissions policy stays the same or changes drastically, one thing is for certain, the Kamehameha Schools legacy will never be quite the same. (continued on A8) See also John Doe

Caps out; Dress Whites In In a poll conducted last year, the current senior class voted on wearing dress whites or caps and gowns for their commencement. The majority was in favor of the westernized style cap and gown. However, Dr. Chamberlain said the majority didn’t win by many votes. “It was not a slam-dunk,” he replied. The concerns of all the parents also played a role in this decision. “The parents wanted dress whites,” Dr. Chamberlain explained. “They just viewed it to be a Kamehameha tradition.” Furthermore, the sister campuses were dead-set in their decision to wear dress whites for graduation, which also influenced the final decision. This graduation will set the precedent for all Kamehameha Maui graduations to come. Although the Maui campus will be following KSBE tradition by wearing dress whites, Dr. Chamberlain wants all the students to know that the other aspects of graduation are still very flexible. “Just because the Kapälama campus sings a certain song at graduation doesn’t mean we will,” he said in regards to the sister campus. “There are some traditions I like, but we won’t be doing exactly what they have done in the past.” Dr. Chamberlain met with all the high school classes at the beginning of this year to announce that dress whites will be worn at graduation. Since the announcement, opinions By: Awapuhi Dancil within the student body have been at both ends of the scale.

Making roots By: Awapuhi Dancil High school students, elementary students, staff, alumni, teachers, and parents all made history on September 2nd, 2005, by planting the first Koa trees on the Kamehameha Maui High School campus. The trees will symbolize the growth of the students here at the Maui Campus. The planting took place during a small, intimate ceremony next to the Charles Reed Bishop Learning Center. The grove is to be called Ulu Koa which literally means “Koa Grove.” The deeper meaning behind the name, however, is “to grow into brave and courageous warriors.” Dr. Chamberlain explained how the trees, therefore, represent the students at the school and how they will grow into successful young men and women. The first tree was planted by alumni, followed by teachers, then staff, parents, high school seniors, and finally kindergarteners. As each tree was planted, everyone attending the ceremony chanted an oli written by Kumu Luana. The purpose of the chant was to send good mana`o (energy) into the tree and make sure it is well-rooted. The ceremony was concluded with closing remarks by Dr. Chamberlain and a prayer. Each year on September 2nd, two new trees will be planted in the grove - one by the new kindergarten class and the other by the senior class. The entire area behind the learning center is to be filled with koa trees. “It starts with these five trees, but just imagine this place ten years from now,” said the headmaster.
When asked if she was excited to come back and see the grove in the future, senior Brittany Awai said, “It will be pretty cool to be able to come back and find my mark. I will know that I am just a small part of such an aspiring vision.” Awai was one of the seniors who planted the koa tree representing her class. “I was proud to be involved in the ceremony because we are setting the traditions for many generations to come. We are leaving our own legacy,” she explained. Awai has been a student at Kamehameha Maui since its beginning 10 years ago. A staff member who also planted a Koa tree, Thor Acre, has also been at the school on staff since that time and has seen all the changes the campus has gone through. “It’s been very challenging since the beginning,” he said, “even today.” He has also seen the changes the senior class has undergone since the students were in the third grade. “It’s been very fast and interesting to see how some students have grown and developed new friends,” he says. While the Koa tree planted by the senior class signifies the completion of their education, the tree planted by the kindergarteners is a reminder of how they will grow with the care and guidance of the staff at Kamehameha School. When questioned about why she was here, kindergartener Natalie Warrington wasn’t sure, but she was certain of how much fun she had. She and her other three classmates had a ball planting their Koa tree in the muddy soil. When it was their turn, they quickly ran to the hole and shoveled the dirt over the tree, giggling the whole time.

“They almost came close to breaking the tree,” joked Kahu Wong who jumped in to help the over eager kindergartners.
The conference is open to high school juniors only, but since it’s held on Labor Day weekend, seniors get to attend because they submitted their work while they were still juniors.
Wailea – This past Labor Day weekend, high school teacher Mr. Michael Oliver took three students from the senior class, Roxy Ragsdale, Camille Awai, and Rachel Lum Ho to attend the Maui Writers Conference at the Wailea Marriot Resort.
The students didn’t need to pay anything either. Anybody who wanted to go had to pay $695, but since they were selected out of many to represent KSMC, they didn’t have to pay. Everything was paid for with the scholarships offered by the Maui Writers Conference.
This conference was a five day event that lasted from September 1-5, 2005. The event was for students who wanted to improve their writing skills and develop their talent. It also gave them a chance to meet bestselling authors, novelists, screen writers, and journalists.
On Friday night, a benefit dinner for the MWC young writers of Hawaii was held in honor of all the students. Anyone could go to this dinner, but there was limited seating, and it cost $75 per guest. At the dinner, Rachel Lum Ho recieved an honorable mention award for her work “The Prayers of a Child.”
Students from all over the state and some from California attended this five day event, including three representatives from each of the Kamehameha Schools. The three students who represented the Maui campus were chosen based on the writings they submitted last year. Their writings were judged by a panel of teachers from this school and were selected because it was all around good and it conveyed the story well. “Not just any students can go though,” said Mr. Oliver, “They have to have a passion in writing and want to pursue it in the future, that’s how we chose the three students. It would be a waste if we took a student who is a good writer but has no interest in writing in the future.”
After the dinner, they went to their condominium in Kihei, which they shared with other students from the two other Kamehameha campuses. They stayed there until Monday, which was the last day of the event. The event itself was packed from morning to night and had breakout sessions every hour. Students had a choice to sit in with a best-selling author or famous screenwriter. After each day was over, all the Kamehameha Schools students would meet at the condo from 9:00 to 9:30 at night and discuss their notes from the day.

John Doe .vs. Kamehameha
By Awapuhi Dancil John Doe, a high school senior who was denied admittance into Kamehameha Schools because of his lack of Hawaiian ancestry, recently won his case against the school in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Though this ruling may appear to be a blow to the school, it has no effect on the school at present. Dr. Chamberlain, headmaster, says, “Right now we are in a stay, so nothing changes. We are trying to get our case re-heard in the ninth circuit.”
Kamehameha Schools’ defense is that the preference policy for native Hawaiians is attempting to Photo to balance out the economic the Left: Students disadvantages of Native and parents Hawaiians. For example, rally to there are many Native Hashow their waiians who are homeless, support for Kamein poverty, and in prison. hameha Furthermore, the Schools’ Schools. legal team argues that NaPhoto by: Lokelani tive Hawaiians have a Patrick “special relationship” with Congress. There are currently around 160 statutes which were passed by Congress which benefit Native Hawaiians. Dr. Chamberlain believes that the policy should stand for two reasons: Kamehameha Schools is a private organization that receives no federal funding, and it is giving an indigenous people a fighting chance in society. Many people are under the misunderstanding that the preference for Native Hawaiians in Kamehameha Schools’ admittance policy is in Pauahi’s will. This, in fact, is not the case. However, the policy was set up by the School’s first board of trustees - the board on which Pauahi’s husband, Charles Reed Bishop, served.
There are many students on the Maui Campus who are concerned See Also Poll on page A1. about how this case will affect their education. When asked if there was anything he would like to say to the student body, Dr Chamberlain replied, “Know that Kamehameha Schools is committed to your education as PrinK A L EO O N Ä K OA cess Pauahi wanted. Focus on your studies, and just like any other sports F OUNDED IN 2005 team, trust the legal team to take care of business.” When questioned about negative press, the headmaster said it was not a problem. “In fact,” Ms. Kye Haina he replied, “we have gotten an outpour[ing] of support from the community.” He also went on to add that the students could support KameManager/Editor hameha Schools with their actions and prayer. When asked about his perHaylee Kepani sonal outlook on the fate of the case, Dr. Chamberlain answered, “I am a positive person and I believe that the court will come around and hear our Hawaiian Language Editor case.” Joshua Aquinde The future of the case is dependant on Judge Robert R. Beezer to call a vote on the petition of whether or not the case will be heard again. If no vote is called for then the case will not be heard again in the 9th circuit court of Appeals. The school will be notified about the decision for a vote on or around September 29th. This is simply a vote to hear the case; however, it is not a ruling. The charge John Doe is using against Kamehameha Schools is that the school is discriminating against him based on his race, which violates 42 U.S. Code Section 1981. This is a statute which, in essence, says that all persons in the U.S (you don’t have to be a citizen) have equal rights when it comes to making contracts and dealing in business. The statute was originally set up to protect the rights of freed African-American slaves.

The Heart, Soul, and Life of Rodeo By Jessica Higa You see these students around; they may even be your friends. Now read about their breathtaking lives as part of The National High School Rodeo Association. Throughout the year some Kamehameha Schools Maui Campus students compete in six shows, and travel from island to island to earn points. These cowboys and cowgirls continue on to the state finals held on the Big Island, for the chance to qualify for nationals in a state designated in the future. Ka’aina Kekiwi, a freshman, got involved in rodeo at the age of nine. He follows in the footsteps of the generations that came before him, his grandfather, uncles, and father. He dreams of the chance to go to the high school national finals. This past summer he attended the first ever Wrangler Junior Finals, which follows the same rules and bylaws as the NHSRA. Kekiwi says, “It was a great experience I had a lot of fun and met people from all over North America.” If he could change one thing, he would have practiced more. Jaimescey Wicklund, a senior, has been competing off and on since the age of three. For the past three years she has taken rodeo seriously and would like to attend the state finals this year. Wicklund is inspired by her grandmother, a barrel racing champion in her day, and would like to follow in her path. She enjoys rodeo because “it’s fun competitive and different than any other sport.” She believes, “You should never give up and you should always do your best.”
National High School Final Rodeo. There are 1,500 contestants, a crowd of over 10,000 and the best of the best from 41 states, 4 Canadian providences, and Australia. It takes hard work, dedication, a 2.0 GPA, and a lot of heart to compete in this sport. Ka’aina Kekiwi and Jaimescey Wicklund demonstrate exactly what it takes to compete in rodeo. Rodeo is a partnership between your horse and yourself. For some, becoming one with a two thousand pound bull for eight seconds of fury is a rush beyond comparison. It takes mental and physical ability. You have to be able to endure the pain and emTwo years ago Ka’aina Kekiwi takes the brace it.

Häna, The Pure Maui By: ‘Eleu Novikoff Häna-On the east side of Maui dwells a pure, untouched, rural town known as Häna. When you visit or return home to Häna, you feel like you have traveled back into time, where being Hawaiian
comes with a sense of pride, and the aloha spirit flourishes in every person you embrace. In the town of Häna, the recorded population in the past year was 4,000 people, 191 households, and 139 families. Out of the entire population of Häna, 80% of its residents are part Hawaiian. Being from Häna is something that senior resident Mähealani Pü is proud of. When asked how Häna has shaped her to this very day, she said, “Häna has taught me to count my blessings and to be grateful for what I have and where I live, for it is one of the last Hawaiian places in the state.”

Tourists visiting and buying items from the Hasegawa General Store in Häna Town.
With Häna being so secluded, many people from all over the world travel from great distances to be a part of its beauty. Tourists travel 52 miles, over 54 bridges, passing an endless count of waterfalls to get to the 3.5 square mile Häna town. Many are intrigued by the meaning of the word Häna, which means breath. According to Kumu Hula, Namahana Kalama-Panui, in the ancient days of Häna the land was so
close to the heavens that the breath of the heavens touched the land, thus it was considered heavenly. In old Hawaii, the hä or the breath was a sign of life. People would share their breath by touching noses and breathing. When you shared your breath with another person, you were getting the chance to be a part of their power or life. So, Häna, the place, symbolizes life. Since there are no high skyscrapers, shopping malls, or oversized grocery stores in Häna, many residents (and tourists, as well) depend on two famous stores for products, The Hasegawa General Store and Häna Store. With the endless amount of natural beauty, many are hoping that Häna never gets developed. Pü says, “You need to take the time to think about it all. Without development there are no jobs for our people, but if I had the power, Häna would be left untouched forever.”

On August 19, 2005, high school and faculty of the Kamehameha Schools Maui Campus attended their first chapel of the 2005-2006 school year in Ka’ulaheanuiokamoku Gymnasium to prepare for the spiritual challenges of the new school year. Many were eager to file into the gym and sit with their classes.
When the music ended, Kahu Kalani Wong came forth with the chapel prayer and message. In his message, he stressed the importance of a spiritual life. Kahu explained, “Just enjoying God from a distance and not having a relationship and friendship with him is not the goal. You need to take the chance to get into God’s word to make him a part of your life.” He also made it known that nurturing occurs within a church, for church is like a big family. Many students listened carefully to Kahu Wong and took his word to heart.
ATV D.C. By Jana Perry This summer was a fun one for James “JC” Sakugawa, a sophomore who attended an ATV safety program in Washington D.C. for four days as he was chosen to represent the state of Hawai`i. Sakugawa enjoyed going to Washington D.C. to represent our state and he had the privilege of sharing a story of his own with others at the program. A friend of JC’s died in an ATV accident, making him more cautious. Sakugawa has been involved in 4-H since he was four years old. 4-H consists of young people all across America who learn leadership, citizenship, and life skills. All of his expenses for the trip were paid for by a grant that 4-H received for his training. All of the state representatives had the opportunity to be in a commercial where they had to say lines over and over again until they got them right. “I thought it was cool when they put up the roll action card and then did a count down,” says

Sakugawa. Sakugawa enjoys riding ATV’s especially after a hard day. Although he rides ATV’s for fun he mainly uses them on the weekend for work on his family farm. JC’s entire family rides including his mom, Mrs. Sakugawa, a P.E. teacher at the middle school campus. “He was probably riding before I knew about it; I would say around 9 years old,” she said. Not only is JC a devoted rider but also a very responsible student according to Mrs. Hajek, JC’s Spanish teacher. His work ethics are great! He is intelligent, caring, and thoughtful. “I’m extremely happy for him. I wish him the best.”
Students at Kamehameha Maui have been driving here by themselves since the start of last school year. Day in and day out, they come from different parts on the island. Many of them have had their licenses for more than a year and some have had it for less than that. No matter how long they have been driving, they each have developed their own styles and habits of driving. “I was driving up to school one day and the traffic line was too long, so I decided to make a shortcut through a neighborhood,” reminisced Jon Spenser about the time he got into a little accident. “I was too close to the truck in font of me and made a bad judgment call. I scraped the side of his truck with my tail as I made my turn.” Kama Davis was inside the bed of the truck when this happened, “All I remember is me listening to music and hearing a loud banging noise and seeing the other truck move. I seen the guy’s face turn red and remember hearing him swearing at us.” “It was funny and kind of scary at the same time,” he said jokingly. Sp e ns e r s top p e d down the road and the other driver pulled behind him and started swearing franticly. He was a middle aged man driving a new-looking Ford Ranger. He looked at his truck and saw that there were only little scratches that could be rubbed off with his finger. (see DRIVERS on page A7)

S TART OF S CHOOL A SSEMBLY By Joshua Masuda On Thursday, August 11 Kamehameha School students paraded through the doors of Ka’ulaheanuiokamoku anxiously awaiting the First Day of School Assembly. Dr. Chamberlain gave the students an update on the John Doe situation. He stated that the Trustees wanted a “larger panel” and that the court’s decision was “a setback but not a mortal blow”. Describing the matter at hand he said, “This decision changes nothing,” and ended his motivating update with “You will lead our nation forward, but that starts today.” Dr. Hitz then took the microphone giving us an introduction to the new school year and explaining to us what we can expect this coming year as it is
filled with a lot of “firsts.” This is our first year as a complete high school and our first year with a graduating class. The sophomore class president, Hoku Kubota, got things going at the assembly with a challenging but fun game of Hawaiian spelling. As that ended, the song “RE- S- P- E- C- T, find out what it means to me” was played as all 24 new teachers were introduced by dancing. After that, the cheerleaders got things going and made some of us crave “ice cream and cake and cake”-a fun dance with audience participation a way to get all class spirits up for the next game.

Sophomore Gets College Experience at Stanford By Lynndy Klevin Kayla Meyer, a KSM sophomore, was accepted this past summer into a mathematics program at Stanford University called the Educational Program for Gifted Youth. Meyer, along with about twohundred other high school students from around the world, headed to sunny California to participate in the EPGY summer institute. She was enrolled in a college course pertaining to logic and problem solving mathematics. High school students flew to Paolo Alto, California, from all over the world, including Hong Kong and India, to participate. “Kayla is a tough worker. Even though she was quiet in class, I saw her toughness and willingness to keep working on problems even if they got difficult,” Ms. Hamai explained about her former Algebra 2 student. “Even though she was very quiet most of the time,
she worked very hard on paper.” “At first, I was nervous but then I started the program and got to know the people. I was so happy to be there and to have the experience. At the end I was really sad to leave,” said Meyer. The application process involved, multiple essays, transcripts and standardized test scores. The program was taught by an actual Stanford University professor, and the mentors were Stanford students who were majoring in the symbolic system.

(DRIVERS continued from A6) Spenser exchanged information with one another. He called Spenser’s house, and his father took care of everything. “My dad ended up paying $100 for nothing,” he said, “$100 for a scratch that you could take out with your hand!” “I never seen him again, and I’m glad,” he concluded. Davis remembers being lost in that situation. It also reminded him of another, more horrible situation he was involved in the same year, “I was in the back seat of Aaron Quitizol-Lopes’s car and he decided to ‘pull stunts’. He was drifting, making 180’s on empty roads, and we hit a curb and crashed into a plastic fence, almost flipping over,” Davis said. Aaron Quitizol-Lopes spoke out about his experience, “It was a bad choice on my part. I had to learn the hard way. I don’t know what I was thinking, and I totally regret that. I put me and everyone else’s lives in danger,” Mark Ing, who was a passenger in the car, also spoke about his experience, “Everything seemed slow motion. I remember grabbing the coat hanger and holding it tight. When we hit the curb, it was chaotic. We flew all over, and the windshield cracked. It sucked that my face got messed up, but I’m glad I’m alive” Aaron said “This was a learning experience and I almost lost a toe because of it. I don’t know how my toe got messed up, but I’m glad I still have it. I never tried to pull that stunt again, and I don’t plan on doing it in the future.”

(POLL continued from A1) If the admissions policy does change, then the number of Hawaiian children that will benefit from Pauahi’s gift will slowly, but surely diminish. Even if the policy does not change, John Doe’s case has opened up a “can of worms,” and it is only a matter of time before more people begin to challenge the admission requirements, eventually forcing Kamehameha Schools to reevaluate the admission policy. A recent survey of several of Kamehameha School’s students, parents, and faculty members shows some opinions on the future of our school and Hawaiian children in general. How do you think Kamehameha Schools will be affected by the court’s decision to allow non Hawaiians into Kamehameha Schools?
“I think this case will either open doors for more complaints and cases or close it for good.” — Amy Gonsalves ‘08
“Hawaiian people will become more Hawaiianlike, in order to get to know and show their culture.” — Kristen Ota ‘08
“It is alr e a d y af f e c t e d . People are angry.— ” M i c ha e l Yannell ‘06
“It is not being aff e c t e d right now, we’re in a stay.” — Awappuhi Dancil ‘06
“If non Hawaiians are allowed to come to this school it will go against the Hawaiian values and against her will. The school should follow the policy because they enforced the racism law after they founded this school.” — Michael Hussey ‘06
“I think that it will affect everyone in a different way. Some people’s opinions on what the just decision is will change. But on the other hand, some people’s opinions will become stronger. It may open minds and help to broaden people’s point of view, but it could also oppose them even more.” — Lynndy Klevin ‘06
“It will cause people to feel angry, hurt, and sad. Other Hawaiian children may feel threatened and afraid to test because their chances of getting in are even fewer.” - Jessica HIga ‘07
“The impact will be that inevitably there will be fewer and fewer Hawaiian children in the classrooms and less Hawaiian children will be allowed the privileges. Princess Pauahi is probably turning over in her grave as we speak.” Dyan Hashizaki, parent
“It wouldn’t look that much different because we have students of multiple ethnicities but it wouldn’t be fulfilling Pauahi’s will in educating native Hawaiian children, so definitely it will change in that sense and there will be less Hawaiian children that are educated.” Mr. Pa’a, teacher
“I think that if the courts decided to let non Hawaiians in, it would defeat the purpose of the will and it would also limit the opportunities for Hawaiian people.” “I think that if the courts decided to let non Hawaiians in, it would defeat the purpose of the will and it would also limit the opportunities for Hawaiian people.” I think that if the courts decided to let non Hawaiians in, it would defeat the purpose of the will and it would also limit the opportunities for Hawaiian people.” — Iolani Antonio ‘08

Coach Glen Koa stresses to the J.V. squad the importance of other duties that must be taken care of to perform. “I remind them to do their homework and take care of all responsibilities at home.” Coach Koa is also a strong believer in academics and constantly reminds his team to avoid the school’s Academic Probation program saying, “you can’t play if you don’t complete your school homework.” With only 40 football players, it’s obvious they can’t afford to lose any. Every player is significant to the team in accomplishing their objective of winning.
In his second consecutive year as head coach of the J.V. team, Koa stated his feelings toward his squad, “We have great leaders, and, overall, our team is close.” With unity as a key advantage, a majority of the players hope to make use of it and win the title of J.V. champions, something Kamehameha Maui has not yet accomplished in football. As for team captain and sophomore student, Kyle Saiki, he summed up in two words what makes the J.V. team one of its kind, “young and skilled.” Doing his best not to recall their previous season record of 2-6, Saiki explained why his team exemplifies these traits, “We’re still starting out; we’re developing more skills to become more experienced.” The team captains and sophomore students, Kyle Saiki, Kai’ea Medeiros, and Mason Castillon, all had one thing in common for this season- winning. They all seek to improve their record from last year and have already set expectations for their teammates to reach their goal. Saiki expressed his expectations for the team, “doing our best, having fun. Try to have the most fun you can and cherish the most moments you can.” As for Castillon and Medeiros, they

With winning becoming more of a necessity than an indulgence, they are “game-hungry” and determined to prove themselves as a new team.

Sports Senior Football Boys Making an Impression

By Mana Brown “I’m sad because it’s my last year, and I won’t get a chance to do it again.” Those were the very words from Kona Plunkett, one of the captains of the Kamehameha Schools Maui varsity football team. As members of the first graduating class, the senior boys of Kamehameha Maui’s football team are trying to give their all this year because of their responsibility to leave behind an amazing legacy for future players to follow. Many of our Warrior football players are working extremely hard to come back from their disappointing last season. Now that they actually have seniors to lead and guide the team, they feel that this year may be a successful one. The boys have all grown to know one another from previous years, which makes playing together easier. To improve from last year, they had to hit the weights, train harder than ever during the off season, and also had to have the true desire to play the game. Plunkett, one of the quarterbacks and captains of the team revealed, “From last year, I have learned to make better reads, try to execute plays, and know, that as a team, we had to work very hard to prepare.” The senior captains of the team have high
expectations for the season. They feel that they will win more games because they have gotten stronger, faster, and smarter. Keoni Wong, another Warrior captain said, “I think we will do well, since we are more experienced, and a lot of us are getting a feel for the game.” Walter Kahaiali`i, who plays Offensive line, and is another captain, says that he feels confident that they have the right personnel, and because of that, they will succeed. The game that they were mostly looking forward to this season was the game against Pac-3, because they were confident they would win, which they did in their September 10 game. During the upcoming season, many of these senior players have different aspirations to fulfill. Wong said, “My goal for this year is to go as far as we can, as a team, and try to win MIL, so we can go to states.” Winning the MIL title was on many of the players’ minds as the new season began. Each player had the vision of getting to states and dominating MIL. The feelings of Kahaiali’i were strong, as he announced his goals for the team, hoping that they would win the MIL, go to states, and he was also hoping the team would go undefeated this season.

T HE U NKNOWN W RESTLER so I set up an interview to get to know him, and to help others get to know his past a little better, as well. One of the most interesting facts about Dr. C was that he was an amazing wrestler for his high school and college years.
Above is a picture of Dr. Chamberlain (on top) wrestling at age 20 in his senior year at Elizabethtown College in central Pennsylvania.
By: Chandra Davis Throughout high school and college, Dr. Rod Chamberlain wrestled, and did very well doing it. What we know about him is that he is the headmaster here at Kamehameha Schools Maui Campus. Most of us don’t know what he did in his past growing up and what he is well known for,
Dr. Chamberlain first got into wrestling when he was in his 8th grade gym class. One of his friends thought he was pretty good at wrestling and told him that he should try out for the team. Dr. Chamberlain’s friend told him something that made him really think about joining the wrestling team. He said that he could eat all the Coke and pizza he could want. He was undefeated in the 9th grade when he was on the wrestling team. In Pennsylvania, there are over 500 public high schools and over 100 private high schools. This is very different from Maui and even Hawaii, where we don’t have nearly as many schools to compete with. While in high school, he went to states and lost in the semi-finals. Dr. Chamberlain went onto Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania, where he graduated in three years. By the time he graduated, his college record was 50 wins, seven losses, and one tie. Dr. Cham-
berlain also went to nationals twice during his college career. Dr. Chamberlain was a wrestling coach for 15 years as well. He absolutely loves the sport because an important quality you need is personal discipline to play. He doesn’t compete today, but still finds it enjoyable to coach. Last year, Dr. Chamberlain helped with the wrestling team two or three times a week. He didn’t only go to the practices to help coach, but he went to wrestle and compete with some of the student wrestlers here. Dr. Chamberlain said that it was very enjoyable to compete with them. He said, “I don’t have the quickness that I used to when I was younger, but an advantage that I have over them is the knowledge that I gained from all the years of wrestling.” Before coming here, Dr. Chamberlain worked at Milton Hershey School in Pennsylvania for 22 years, and then became Head of School for the University Lake School in Wisconsin. In addition to coaching the wrestling team, Dr. Chamberlain was a coach for men’s field hockey.
KSMC Spikes into Action Mähea Ueshiro An overall attendance of about 200 fans filled the Kamehameha Maui Ka’ulaheanuiokamoku Gymnasium Complex on August 19 and August 20, to witness a two-day Varsity volleyball tournament hosted by the Warriors. First place recognition and bragging rights were at stake.
Photo by Hoku Kubota ‘Eleu Novikoff goes for a kill against the Christian Academy School.
A total of 11 teams participated, including one from the island of O’ahu. The teams consisted of Kamehameha Maui, Seabury Hall, Baldwin, King Kekaulike, St. Anthony, and Christian Academy. KS Maui blue varsity team, led by Head Coach Donald Kealoha, proceeded on to the championship game facing Seabury Hall (who later defeated the KSMC white team in the Semifinals). The KSMC blue team demonstrated their talent as they finished on top for a well-deserved first place. As for the second half of their varsity squad, KS white, led by assistant coach Dean Ikioka, finished the tournament in third place. In the consolation round, they competed against Seabury Hall in a grueling match for a spot in the championship game. Unfortunately, they fell short of a win as Seabury Hall advanced to the title match. The White squad even-
tually played Christian Academy and did so sophisticatedly as they finished the tournament in third place. The two Kamehameha Maui J.V. teams who also participated in the Varsity tournament finished in 8th and 9th places. With the start of the MIL volleyball season on September 7, Senior ‘Eleu Novikoff (KS Maui) expressed her thoughts about participating in the pre-season tourney, “We could see what the other teams could possibly be this year for MIL…a closer look at competition.” Novikoff also spoke candidly about why she had fun throughout this tournament, “Team bonding was great!” Proving her point, her team prevailed with a third place finish. Freshman Teilissa Tua (KS Maui), who was easy-going, friendly, and quickly drawn into the volleyball games on the court, willingly shared her thoughts about volleyball, “It’s cool, way better than intermediate. Oh, and it’s competitive,” Tua revealed with a smile. When asked about who she looks up to from her big sister varsity team, she responded as if she was prepared for the question, “Sayble and ‘Eleu because they’re awesome in everything, and they’re consistent.” That was enough said. It looks as if the KS Maui varsity volleyball team will once again defend their title as MIL Champions! We wish both teams good luck and look forward to a spectacular season.

flexibility exercises. He trains mostly on his own, but is also a member of the Hawaii Swim Club. He has a very strict diet and eats very healthily. He usually eats low-fat, high carbohydrate, and high protein foods. Kalani feels honored and very proud to be one of the youngest aquathletes to qualify to represent the United States. It would have been his first time entering such a high-level competition against competitors coming from all over the world. Kalani’s parents said that it is not hard at all to By Chandra Davis Kalani Rosell had qualified to compete in an aquathlon in Oahu that takes place in the beginning of October, but had been notified recently that he is too young to compete. He is a junior here at Kamehameha Schools Maui Campus and is a very good athlete, especially in running and swimming. Rosell had been accepted to compete in The International Triathlon Union Aquathlon World Championships, taking place on October 4th, 2005, in Honolulu; however, due to a change in the age limit regulations for this year, he will not be allowed to compete this year. The championships are authorized by USA Triathlon which is an association of the U.S. Olympic Committee. Kalani would have been one of the youngest aquathletes representing the United States. This competition consists of three challenging events: a 2.5K run, a 750 meter swim, then another 2.5K run. His dad, John Rosell, says “He is a very strong open water swimmer and runner and could place very well in this event.” Kalani trains seven days a week! He dedicates four to five hours a day strength conditioning, running, swimming and doing
motivate him to want to compete, but having him maintain such a strict training schedule is challenging. His parents have to sacrifice some of their free time for him to train and compete. It was brought to Kalani’s parents’ attention that he had qualifying times for the competition, so they decided to join the USA Triathlon, and they accepted his times for him to compete. Kalani’s mother, Maura Rosell, is his main coach, along with Baldwin cross country coach Fred Losano, and Hawaii Swim Club Head Coach Reid Yamamoto. Kalani’s strengths are determination, a positive attitude, and self-confidence and his weakness is that it takes him a couple minutes to get going. I asked Kalani’s mother, Maura, a few questions about what she does to coach him. I asked where she trains him and her answer was, “All over the island, from the sandy beaches of Wailea to mountainous slopes of Haleakala.” His mother has been coaching for 18 years and has been coaching Kalani for six. She also said Kalani’s best qualities are determination, perseverance, and commitment. His parents are very proud of him, and for his future, they see “success”. Kalani is continuing to train so that he can compete next year.

By: Mähea Ueshiro WAILUKU- Energetic and excited Kamehameha Maui supporters filled the stands at the War Memorial Stadium Saturday night, August 10, to witness KS Maui’s first-ever Varsity football team victory against Pac-3 with a blow-out score of 43-0. With both teams entering the game with a record of 0-2, Pac-3 and Kamehameha Maui would look to tear up the field, hungry for a win. KS Maui would once again reunite with Pac-3 who swiped the M.I.L. Division II Championship away from them after a disappointing last season with not a single win in the books. Pac-3 would foretell the game as a repeat. KS Maui would express it as revenge. Not knowing how the game would play out, it was all up to the players to determine the outcome.
referring to his mother’s emotion she possessed that evening. Varsity cheerleader Puna Meyer noticed the fans were more active and loud at the game. “More people were doing “Ice Cream and Cake” (a popular dance routine done by the cheerleaders that involves fan participation). More people were cheering. More crowd involvement.” Meyer continued by mentioning, “When someone scores a touchdown, everyone screams and it gets louder.” It was definitely obvious that the mood at the game was a lot more at ease and less frustrating to watch.
The Warriors scored 1 minute and 12 seconds into the game and from then on it was all uphill for the Warriors, leaving no room of recovery for the defending M.I.L. Division II champions.
“Intense.” This was the only word used by KS Maui Athletic Trainer Alika Asing to describe the fierceness from the players and coaches Saturday night. With many injuries arising that night, Asing lost track of the score while tending to the athletes wounds. “Well actually, I didn’t really know the score because we (athletic trainers and student trainers) were working hard with injuries in the third and fourth quarter.” He quickly added, “I knew we were winning.”
The first to score was #42, Fullback Dustyn Min. When asked about his emotions tied to his touchdown he said, “Feels like you accomplished something and it benefited the team.” Number 56, Defensive Lineman Bubba Au, scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and was real grateful for his hard-work. “Unbelievable, it doesn’t happen all the time. It’s rare for a D-Lineman.” Au also added, “My mom hugged me,”
High school Senior, number 10, Linebacker, and captain of the Varsity Football team, Keoni Wong, made a vital statement about defeating Pac-3. “…I wasn’t going to have a Senior season without a win.” With a total of 28 football Seniors graduating this year, winning has become something these players want so desperately. Wong’s only advice for his teammates, “continue to work hard and get better every day.”

Kickin’ it Off 05’-06’ “We’re more mature, bigger, faster, stronger, and understand the game more.” Head Coach Delatori
By Joshua Aquinde th
Saturday, August 27 , our very own Kamehameha Schools Maui Warrior Varsity Football team kicked off their season with a bang here at Ka Na’iaupuni Stadium when they played against the Bears of Baldwin as they tried to hold their own this year on their way toward the MIL title. Although it was a tough loss for us, with a score of 32 to 7, our boys showed the Kamehameha Schools Maui Warrior pride and kept the fire going the whole night, never letting up. “We’re more mature, bigger, faster, stronger, and understand the game more,” said Head Coach Leo Delatori, and that is exactly how the boys came rushing out into the season this year. Leading the first play of the game, senior defensive back Cody Napaepae got the crowd pumping with a great read and interception against the Baldwin Bears just thirty seconds into the game, which left our boys within close range of scoring glory. The warriors followed that great play with a run scoring-touchdown, giving them an early lead of 7 to 0 after the PAT (point after touchdown) was ruled good. Play after play, the team showed what it was to be a Warrior, and for those who were
there, it was a thrilling and intriguing game. “They are dedicated,” said Delatori, “They show leadership.” All of which were displayed by senior Preston Gannon, as he again led the team with countless punt and PAT blocks. The game was jam-packed with many exciting sacks, interceptions, blocks, and big hits, and with great determination and desire the team led the game at half time with a 7-6 lead. The stadium was packed that night, at near maximum capacity with a crowd composed of shouting, cheering fans there to support our boys. When asked who stepped it up this year, one of our team’s biggest fans Mr. Clark Spencer, wide receiver Micah Spencer’s (‘07) father said, “It’s not any individual, but they all work together they act like a team.” And the game that night was a great success for our boys. They came together just as our team motto states with “one mind”, “one soul” but, most of all, they came as “one heart”. It was a great night of promise, especially for the upperclassman of the class of 2006, as they led the Warriors charging away. “They are leaders in the community, they are looked up to in a positive attitude,” answered Coach Tua, a leader of our Warrior linemen.

Slamming back into action! By Jeremy Okamura Kamehameha Schools’ girls varsity volleyball team, last year’s MIL champions, are preparing for this upcoming season to become champions once again. The captains are Britney Awai and Puni Kruger. Awai said that she felt proud about being on the championship team last year, but is looking for more this year. Kruger thinks that the team should work harder and take it one game at time. This year the Kamehameha girls are determined to win the MIL and states. They said that they need to work harder and have high spirits. They need to stay focused and states. They said that they need to work harder and have high spirits.

Delima and Machado also admire them for their passion for the sport of volleyball. Practicing and being dedicated to this sport is how they got to be on the varsity team.
This year’s going to be...A-W-E-S-O-M-E with spirit! By Asia Harman Spirit is in the air for the new cheerleaders of the 2005 – 2006 school year because there is a new set of cheerleaders and new coaches. Instead of one big squad, there is one six-girl squad for junior varsity with and one varsity squad with 8 returnees. Junior Chloe Afaga (captain); sophomores Remy Chang and Alyssa Ross; and freshmen Darrelyn Maeda, Ryanne Ortiz, and Kulia Salavea make up the junior varsity squad. The varsity team includes seniors Ashly Makiling (co-captain), Punahele Meyer and Adri Sumibcay; juniors Kira Cairme (co-captain), Briana Fujimoto and Alyssa Manuel (captain); and sophomores Asia Harman and Carli Owan. “Our cheerleading squad is here to establish and strengthen school spirit (even if it’s a new school), but at the same time continue the traditions of Kamehameha Schools’ values,” says Head coach Levi Mason. With new coaches Levi Mason, Ann Saffery, Jennie Nakamoto, and Cheyenne Breummer- Beeusos, the girls are excited and ready to be the best they can be. The squad started off with a good launch from last year. Under the direction of former
coaches Kristy Pang, Dyvette Fong, and Kim Lazo for the first ever cheerleading squad of Kamehameha Schools Maui, the cheerleaders had a chance to make or break this cheer program. They made it. The girls were hard at work and earned the 2nd place title at the Maui Interscholastic League Cheerleading Championship on January 29, 2005, and 3rd place at the UCA West Coast Championships in San Diego, California, on February 26, 2005. “We have high expectations from other high schools, and since our sister school is Kapälama, we are pushed to be progressing every day,” captain Alyssa Manuel states.

STUDENT T RAINERS By Mana Brown While everyone plays and practices for their sports, behind the scenes lie very important people, for without them, certain players wouldn’t be able to play. Student trainers are hard at work learning the techniques and first aid to help out any injured sports players. With the help of Coach Alika Asing and Coach Charles, they get the job done. The stud ent trainer program started four years ago, and with the help of encouraging volunteers, the program became a success. Student trainers learn the techniques of helping those who get injured, those who need rehabilitation, or just those who need to be taped up before practices and games. They go along with the team gaining experience when it comes along. There is a combination of students who are becoming student trainers, from each grade in high school. Every individual student trainer helps with every sport, from fall sports, to winter sports, and all the way to spring sports. The most common sport for trainers is football, only because there are so many players and so many injuries that need to be tended to. There is no particular type of sport that each trainer is assigned to, so when ever there are people in need, their always at hand. Jenny Razo, a senior and one of the first trainers in the program, said, “It makes me feel good to be a trainer because I get to give back to my school voluntarily.”

Libra:September 22 – October 22 Even if you live nowhere near the ocean, any water based pursuit is doomed to increased levels of hazard ness, including fountains and taking a bath if you favor the use of plastic animals or bubbly-foam. Soap of a yellowy brown color, face painting of zoo or farmyard animals are advised. Scorpio:October 23 – November 21 Stockings and any feather-light leg coverings are badly starred this month. Both sweet and creamy body lotions may offer considerable problems if applied incorrectly, avoid prolonged strokes upwards, preferring downwards and wiggly left and right applications of any moisture-laden beauty. Sagittarius:November 22 – December 21 Showering and bathing should be limited to the briefest of splashes until the 15th, after which time your normal bathing pattern may be resumed. Static electricity will cause you to have one of the worst hair days for a while on the 17th.
