Just like many of his Hawaiian ancestors, Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana‘ole came into this world in a thatched grass hale. Born on March 26, 1871 on Kaua‘i’s South Shore, he was from a lineage of Hawaiian ali‘i many historians consider having more mana, or divine power, than the lineage of Kamehameha, the Great. “Prince Kūhiō’s ancestry was indeed important, with ties to Kaumuali‘i, Kaeokulani, Kahekili, Kamakahelei and Kapiolani, prominent rulers of Kaua‘i, Ni‘ihau and Maui. His royal lineage was second to none even today,” said Chucky Boy Chock, executive director of the Kaua‘i Museum and a member of the Royal Order of Kamehameha. Every March, the Royal Order of Kamehameha celebrates the birthday of its most illustrious members on the very place he was born, a fishing village called Kualu, Hoai in the Kōloa District. Since he was a small child, Prince Kūhiō carried the nickname “Prince Cupid.” But behind those cherubic cheeks, there was a highly educated and skilled Hawaiian royal who would become a true champion of cultural and social rights for his people. Prince Kūhiō was the great-grandson of King Kaumuali‘i and Kapua‘amoku, who were both offsprings of Kaua‘i Queen Kamakahelei. In Old Hawai‘i, it was common for royal siblings to get married in order to keep their lineage pure. Kamakahelei was feared for an ability to pray people to death, and it is believed her fame carried over even after her death, stalling

Prince Kūhiō, the Citizen PrinceBy Léo Azambuja

and hindering Kamehameha’s plans to invade Kaua‘i. Kaumuali‘i’s father, Kaeokulani, was the brother of the fearless Maui King Kahekili, who once controlled all Hawaiian Islands, except for the Big Island. Kahekili and his warriors were known for tattooing half their bodies black and being highly skilled in battle. He and Kamehameha engaged in a bloody naval battle that produce no winners. As a result, Kamehameha never defeated Kahekili, and was only able to control Maui after the feared ali‘i died of old age. If Kaumuali‘i’s mana was considered powerful, Prince Kūhiō’s mana was even more powerful. Besides being a direct descendant of Kaumuali‘i from his mother’s side, from his father’s side he was the grandson of Pi‘ikoi, believed to be Kaumuali‘i’s half-brother. Pi‘ikoi himself was the grandson of Kamokuiki, King Kalakaua’s grandmother by marriage to Kamawana. Prince Kūhiō’s mother, Kinoiki Kekaulike II, died when he and his two brothers were still teenagers. Kekaulike’s sister, Queen Kapiolani, took Prince Kūhiō and his brothers, Edward Keliiahonui and David Kawānanakoa, as her hanai children. When Kalakaua became king, he named Prince Kūhiō and his brothers as princes, making them rightful heirs to the throne. Prince Kūhiō’s lineage put him on the path to one day potentially becoming king of Hawai‘i. And for that, he was well prepared. He studied at St. Alban’s College (now Iolani School) and Punahou School, then San Matthew’s School in California. After graduation, he left for England to study at the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester. Upon returning from England in 1891, Prince Kūhiō worked for the Hawaiian Kingdom in the Ministry of the Interior and the Customs Service. That same year, King Kalakaua died, and Liliuokalani became Queen of Hawai‘i. She would reign for less than two years; a coup d’etat led mainly by foreign businessmen and sugar planters overthrew the monarchy and set up the Republic of Hawai‘i on Jan. 17, 1893. In January of 1895, Prince Kūhiō would participate in a failed attempt to reestablish the monarchy, which landed him treason charges. Found guilty by military commission, he was locked up for almost a year as a political prisoner at the old O‘ahu Prison, which later became Honolulu County Jail. An old story describes that when Queen Kapiolani heard Prince Kūhiō had been arrested, she said, “Anyone who touches a hair of my boy’s head will be cursed.” He was released and pardoned on the same day Queen Liliuokalani was released from house arrest at ‘Iolani Palace. In 1896, a year after being released he got married to Elizabeth Kahanu Kaauwai and somewhat disappeared from public life. However, the clock was only ticking for Prince Kūhiō to rise as one of the most important Hawaiians for his people. To this day, almost a century after his death, his accomplishments in

U.S. Congress and elsewhere are still extremely relevant to Native Hawaiians. After Hawai‘i became a U.S. Territory in 1900, Hawaiians voted for Robert Wilcox – one of Prince Kūhiō’s partners in the failed attempt to reestablish the monarchy – as their delegate to U.S. Congress. Prince Kūhiō and his wife had been traveling the world since 1899, and would only return to Hawai‘i in 1901. Once back home, he joined the Republican party, and defeated Wilcox in the next elections. Prince Kūhiō would go on to win 10 consecutive elections, and served as Hawai‘i’s delegate to Congress from 1903 until his death in 1922. One of his first achievements in Congress was being able to keep the Hansen’s Disease Settlement in Kalaupapa, Molokai a territorial institution rather than a federal one. He was also able to obtain funding for an experimental hospital in Kalaupapa. In 1905, Prince Kūhiō attained an amendment to the Organic Act, which allowed county governments in Hawai‘i to be filled by elected officials. King Kalakaua had conceded the use of Pearl Harbor by the U.S., but not much had been done to develop the area. It was Prince Kūhiō who approached President Theodore Roosevelt and got his support to convince Congress to release millions of dollars for Pearl Harbor’s development as well as other military installations on O‘ahu. Prince Kūhiō was also instrumental in obtaining $5 million in funding for several projects, including improvements at Nawiliwili, Honolulu, Kahului and Hilo harbors, as well as the Hilo Post Office and Honolulu Federal Building.

On Feb. 29, the White House announced the first confirmed death in United States soil of a person infected with COVID-19, or novel coronavirus. Meanwhile the world was bracing for a potential coronavirus pandemic, which may have been declared by the time you read this. We should measure no efforts to make sure we stay safe in Hawai‘i, and we should also have a decent plan to deal with a pandemic. Keep informed by reading the news and listening to recommendations by local, state and federal health agencies and governments. We may have dodged an early bullet in Hawai‘i, after a Japanese couple who had just visited Maui and then O‘ahu from Jan. 28 to Feb. 3 tested positive upon returning to Japan. The man showed flu-like symptoms while on O‘ahu, and was diagnosed 10 days after returning home. Hawai‘i Director of Health Bruce said the Japanese visitor was likely exposed before he traveled to Hawai‘i or while in transit here. By press time, there were no reported cases in Hawai‘i, but it could be only a matter of time until this changes. When February came to an end, there were more than 88,000 reported cases of coronavirus spread in 67 countries and territories, with more than 3,000 deaths. Those still alive, half had recovered, and the other half were still sick, including more than 7,600 in serious or critical condition, according to worldometers.info/coronavirus, which monitors

Stay Safe in the Aloha State the spread of the disease. In the U.S., there were 73 cases, with only nine having already recovered, and one death. By the time you read this, however, all these numbers will be grossly outdated, because more than 2,200 new cases and almost 60 deaths are being reported daily around the world. Though the majority of cases are in China (nearly 80,000 as of March 1), the disease is spreading quickly in other parts of the world. Despite no confirmed cases in Hawai‘i by the end of February, the state Department of Health said 96 people were self-monitoring for the virus, having recently traveled to China. Only one of those people was on Kaua‘i. Maui also had only one person, while Big Island had five, and O‘ahu had the bulk of it, 88 people. Because Hawai‘i is so geographically isolated from the rest of the world, a full-scale pandemic has great potential to destabilize our economy, highly dependent on tourism, and also our food supply, since we import about 90 percent of our food. And I won’t even get into fossil fuel dependency. Social chaos could be looming, and it is definitely a concern, but of course, the biggest, most heartfelt impact in our community would be the loss of life. Scientists are racing to develop a vaccine against coronavirus, but even with time being of the essence, the most optimistic estimate is a couple months for a new vaccine to be ready for animal trials, and probably a year for it to be ready for mass production. The Centers for Disease Control says the best prevention is to avoid exposure to the virus, and recommends a series of actions to help prevent spreading or contracting the disease.

Health, Wellness & Fitness First of all, you should avoid contact with sick and infected people. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a household cleaning spray. The CDC does not recommend healthy people to wear a facemask to prevent infection against respiratory diseases, including coronavirus. However, those who show symptoms should wear a mask to prevent spreading the disease to others. Additionally, health-care workers and caretakers should also wear masks. For those who are sick, the CDC recommends that they be isolated in a hospital or at home, depending how sick they are, until they do not pose a risk of infecting others. The isolation period can vary from person to person. The CDC says it’s OK to release patients from isolation as long as they don’t have a fever anymore, do not cough or show other symptoms, and have tested negative on two consecutive specimens collected at least 24 hours apart. Those who have been released from isolation are not considered a risk to others anymore, according to the CDC. We should follow CDC’s recommendations to stay clean and safe. We should also stock at least a couple weeks of food, whether or not the virus is a risk in Hawai‘i, given the constant threat of hurricanes and tsunamis we face here. I would also seriously consider a staycation rather than a vacation this year. Or no vacation at all. Aloha and stay safe.

Kau Kau DelightsHaole Girl Island SweetsThe Austrians invented the kipferi in the 13th century. After an Austrian artillery officer moved to Paris in the 1830s to open the Boulangerie Viennoise, the kipferi slowly evolved to become what is known as the croissant. And then quite recently, Haole Girl Island Sweets has brought the croissant to a whole new level of excellence. “All the croissants are made with local honey; we don’t use processed sugar in the dough. Everything is hand-rolled, and depending on what we get from the farmers, it is what we put into the croissants,” said Judy Capertina, owner of Haole Girl Island Sweets in Kapa‘a. A trained pastry chef with more than four decades of experience, Capertina graduated from the Culinary Institute of America on the East Coast. Because she had a biochemistry background at New York State University, she often found herself baking at the culinary school. After working in many resorts and hotels in Hawai‘i and on the Mainland, she returned to Kaua‘i to open Haole Girl Island Sweets seven years ago. “We are a farm-to-table bakery, so we utilize the products that are from the farmers and beekeepers on the island,” Capertina said. Years ago, she worked as a chef at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in France, where she would shop at local farmers markets for ingredients. She loved the concept. “If it’s not in season, or if it’s not available, you make adjustments on your menu.” So it was only natural that when she finally opened her own bakery, she would carry the same concept. Haole Girl’s specialty is definitely their croissants. The honey is the first flavor your taste buds will notice, setting off the beginning of a meal you’ll wish would never end. If you are eating a sweet croissant, the honey will enhance the experience once you get to the filling. The savory croissants confirm opposites attract; it’s Romeo and Juliet with a happy ending. And if you have just a plain croissant, you’ll be quite pleased knowing Kaua‘i has a one-up on the French. It’s that good! Another must-have at Haole Girl is the quiche. Capertina soaks the croissant dough in a quiche custard overnight before baking it. Or have a sticky bun, also made with the same croissant batter. And there is so much more, such as gluten- and dairy-free banana bread, vegan taro focaccia, island-roasted Imua coffee, and made-to-order cakes for special occasions. “We have a staff of eight people and it’s awesome,” Capertina said. “We do a lot of custom work.” Haole Girl Island Sweets is a member of the Kaua‘i Made program, which means at least 51 percent of their ingredients must come from Kaua‘i. “It makes us become more flexible and more adaptable,” Capertina said. “We learn to use the products that are here, which is awesome because a lot of the products that are here you don’t see them anywhere else.” Besides having a small outside dining area at the Kapa‘a bakery, Capertina is also present in several farmers markets throughout Kaua‘i. On Saturday, Haole Girl is at Kaua‘i Community College famers market from 9:30 to 1 p.m., and at Kilauea Farmers Market from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. On Sunday, they are at Princeville Art Walk from 4 to 8 p.m. On Tuesday and Thursday, they set up a tent at Coconut Marketplace farmers market from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. On Wednesday, they are at Kukui‘ula Culinary Market from 3:30 to 6 p.m. Haole Girl Island Sweets is at 934 B Kipuni Way in Kapa‘a, open every day but Monday from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m..

Kaua‘i youth can now tap into a supportive community of fully engaged musical collaborators. Jeremy Hartshorn taught private music lessons in students’ homes, but realized that isolated approach presents numerous roadblocks and can prevent students from blossoming as musicians. Kids are self-motivated learners when provided a reason, community, equipment and mentors’ guidance. “Bandwagon Music Center is a safe, fun, supervised music studio for kids to explore music at their own pace,” said Hartshorn, the founder, board president and program director of Bandwagon Institute for the Arts. “This place is totally designed to eliminate so many of the roadblocks that keep kids from learning music. We’ve got space for them to be in, we’ve got equipment, we’ve got capable mentors walking the floor just helping the kids with whatever the challenge is that they’re working on at the time. Most

importantly, we’ve got like-minded peers for them to hang out with and jam with. We’re working with music

and the applied arts, public performance, and getting kids jamming with bands and just having a great time. We’re excited to have kids come in here and explore whatever they’re passionate about.” The Bandwagon Music Center studio located between Ross and Long’s Drugs in Kukui Grove Center is the result. Students are practicing hard now to polish arrangements they will perform in a Battle of the Bands on the evening of May 16 at Kaua‘i Christian Fellowship in Koloa. Bands compete for islandwide supremacy. Last year the winning band members got to keep the instruments they were playing.

Prince Kūhiōfrom page 6

In 1916, the Kilauea Volcanoes National Park was inaugurated, thanks to Prince Kūhiō, who helped to pass a bill allowing the Interior Department to take over the area as a park. This represented the birth of Hawai‘i’s National Park System. Following the enactment of the 19th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in 1920, which allowed women on the Mainland to vote, Prince Kūhiō was successful in passing an act that allowed women in Hawai‘i the same right to vote. Undeniably, Prince Kūhiō’s most important achievement was also his hardest one. In 1921, after years of fighting in Congress, Prince Kūhiō was finally able to pass the Rehabilitation Act, also known as the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act. The intent of the act was to provide for economic self-sufficiency of Native Hawaiians through land provision. While arguing for his cause, Prince Kūhiō described to his colleagues in Washington how Native Hawaiians had lost much of their land. He wanted to repair the great wrong that had been done to his fellow Hawaiians, and reasoned that going back to the land would be the salvation for the dying Hawaiian race. The act gave Native Hawaiians with at least 50 percent blood quantum (his wish was 1/16th blood quantum) the right of rehabilitation through a government-sponsored homesteading program. The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, established by the act, delivers 99-year leases on homestead lands at $1 per year for Native Hawaiians. Some other benefits include direct loans or loan guarantees for home building or repairs, agricultural developments, technical assistance to farmers and ranchers, and operation of water systems. Though Prince Kūhiō is well known for his political career, he was also a sports enthusiast in many modalities, most notably in outrigger canoe racing, and a champion of Hawaiian societies.

He reorganized the Royal Order of Kamehameha in 1903 (the original society was founded in 1865 by Kamehameha V). He also founded a now-disbanded society called Chiefs of Hawai‘i, and its last member was Kaua‘i’s Charles Rice. And in Dec. 7, 1918, in the midst of fighting for the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, he founded the Hawaiian Civic Club. The club aimed to put a stop in the decline of the Hawaiian race, to provide educational opportunities to young Hawaiians, and to help in the social welfare of Hawaiians. Prince Kūhiō died of heart disease at 50 years old on Jan. 7, 1922. About 50,000 attended his funeral, which was the last royal funeral in Hawai‘i and had the largest procession witnessed until then in the Islands. His body was interred in the Royal Mausoleum in Nu‘uanu, O‘ahu, the same resting place of many royals of the Kamehameha and Kalakaua dynasties. A bronze statue of the prince unveiled June 17, 1928 adorns his birthplace in Kōloa. A plaque at the bottom of the statue reads “Ke Alii Makaainana,” which means “The Citizen Prince.” Prince Kūhiō’s home was next to Waikīkī Beach, in an area called “Pua Leilani,” or “Flower from the Wreath of Heaven.” It is now called Kūhiō Beach Park, and a bronze statue of the prince was placed there, with plaque that reads: “Prince by the grace of God. Statesman by accomplishment. Delegate to Congress by popular choice. Father of the Hawaiian Rehabilitation Act.” In 1949, the Hawai‘i State Legislature designated March 26 as Prince Kūhiō Day, celebrating his birthday and legacy. The celebration of Prince Kūhiō will be Saturday, March 21 at his birthplace in Kōloa. The day starts with the procession of the Royal Order of Kamehameha Kaumuali‘i Chapter, Ka‘ahumanu Society, Hale o Nā Ali‘i, Daughters of Hawai‘i, Hawaiian Civic Clubs, state and county government officials, Hawaiian charter schools, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Alu Like and other special guests. All organizations will present a “ho‘okupu,” either a lei or a plant, as a tribute to the beloved High Chief Kalaniana‘ole. Some organizations will offer an “oli,” or chant, sing or do a hula. This celebration is free and for all to attend, the procession starts at 9:30 a.m., but everyone gathers at 9 a.m. to get a seat. You may come early to secure a seat, or bring your own chair or mat.

According to Derek Green, Kanuikapono Public Charter School board member, “Bandwagon provides our students with a safe, creative learning space where they can explore music and creativity in ways that would otherwise not be available in their daily life.” Hartshorn cited numerous collateral benefits of getting kids actively engaged in a supportive community of dedicated musicians: forging lasting friendships, keeping them out of trouble, preventing drug abuse, avoiding teen pregnancy and reducing suicidal thoughts. Bandwagon mentors convey the mentality of “I don’t know how

to play this yet,” because that attitude opens the door to the future. Bandwagon instructor John Enns said, “I think that’s one of my favorite parts about Bandwagon – there are some friendships that happen here that never would have taken place anywhere else.” Kilauea Elementary School Principal Sherry Gonsalves added, “The mentors help the students build on their natural gifts and talents, they encourage them, and most importantly they believe in the student.” Bandwagon strives to make curriculum available to all, whether or not they can afford tuition. Some 70 percent of active Bandwagon members are on full or partial scholarships. The Bandwagon provides students with free round-trip transportation from nine different

schools – Hanalei to Waimea. This nonprofit organization could not exist without donors and community support, and special appreciation is extended to the Aloha Angels for their philanthropy through the Adopt a Band program. Visit bandwagonstudios.com for more information.
