Kapolanialaimaka “Kapo" Kealoha is the Executive Chef at Tiki's Grill & Bar in Waikiki. Since he returned from culinary stints in Wyoming and Northern California to take the top job at Tiki's, he's worked to accomplish three things: create an all-new breakfast buffet service, expand the over-all level of food and service, and teach all employees how to pronounce his first name. We hear he's nailed the first two, but using the nickname “Kapo" just might indicate goal number three is a bit more elusive than first thought. Kapo's a local man, having attended Moanalua High School and then cracking the culinary arts books at the Travel Institute of the Pacific. He's got a ton of local experience under his belt, not including those two sojourns at the Four Seasons Hotels already alluded to in paragraph one.

Bernard Le Nail contribution to the last International Celtic Congress held july 23-28th at Tremough in Penryn, Cornwall. It is a great pleasure for me to be here in Cornwall once again after having already taken part to two other previous congresses, one in Saint Austell (1975) and the other in Bude (2000). I have kept an excellent remembrance of both congresses and I also came to Cornwall with my family for short holidays in Spring some eight years ago. We Bretons feel very close to our Cornish cousins and, if they allow me, we even feel almost at home in Cornwall. I wish to thank very heartfully the members of the Cornish branch for their wonderful welcome and their perfect organization. I know how difficult is the situation of the Cornish national movement and that gives them still a greater merit for organizing so well this congress.
Too much junk food in our schools
In answer to concerns that we're raising a generation of fatsos, the feds now require schools to draft so-called "wellness plans." Check with your local district. You'll likely find that, as of July 1, school administrators are promising to offer lower-fat school lunches and provide more opportunities for exercise. For instance, the area's largest district, Shawnee Mission, is finally getting rid of the soda pop in the middle schools and high schools. The vending machines will stay, spokeswoman Leigh Anne Neal told me, but the new agreement with Coke stipulates that the machines contain only bottled water, sports drinks and fruit juices. It's a step in the right direction that some other districts are also taking. Yeah, but don't fool yourself.
