Bainbridge Islands Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 Tenth anniversary of surf champion?s death on Sandy Beach Aiea ? Mourners gathered at Sandy Beach, where Duke Kahanamoku, the legendary BI surf champion, disappeared almost a decade ago. ?Big Kahuna? was accomplished in the traditional sport of surfing, both short and long board, winning eight combined championships in nine years, before his accident. While surfing at Sandy Beach, he caught a thirty-foot wave, and rode it until he fell through the crest. Once the wave finished, he was nowhere to be found, with only his board, an onyx-black with gold sunburst, floated ashore. A memorial service was held at the new shrine, with over a thousand fans and supporters present. ?Bra, he was like, da kine?, remarked ?King Romulus? (aka Romulus Kahani?i, left in picture), a well known surfer from the west shore. ?There was only one bradda who could cut ?n braid, and that was the legend. May he rest in peace.? Link to comment
Bainbridge Islands Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 Β New cruiser suffers breakdown north of Kingdom Pearl Harbor ? The HMS Kanehoe suffered a breakdown yesterday, leaving the newest patrol boat of the islands practically dead in the water. The main propulsion engine suffered a secondary power plant casualty, limiting it to speeds of less than two knots. Technical advisors have been sent to assist with repair and provide replacement parts for the damage power plant. They should arrive at the Kanehoe within two days. A major embarrassment to the Admiral of the Nautical Services, already under fire for failing to curb illegal smuggling and accusations of favoritism in the ranks, offered his resignation to the Minister of Defense, and accepted all responsibility for this incident. A new Head of Nautical Services will be appointed by the end of the month. Β Link to comment

Bainbridge Islands Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 Β King Kamehameha Falls Into Coma Honolulu ? Late last night, after presiding over the Warrior?s day celebration, King Kamehameha VIII fell into a coma while in the intensive care wing of the Maika?I Makani medical complex. It is believed that his heart attack was brought on by overexertion from the migration to Europa combined with the duties of state. ?The king realized the importance of moving, but felt he owed it to the people to ensure it happened, regardless the cost?, declared the Royal Adviser, Aka Kilikopela, at the press conference in the red wing of the medical complex. ?He understands that being in Europa is vital to the future of the Islands, and would have made the same decision again, regardless of the consequences. We appreciate the best wishes from our new neighbors, Suverina, and their concern and best wishes are sincerely appreciated. Until the proper line of succession is established, I will, reluctantly, assume the duties of head of state.? Β Link to comment

Bainbridge Islands Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 Β Expansion of new monorail offends Old Traditionalists Kalapana ? The plans for the expansion of the new high-speed BI monorail has many elders expressing their disdain, as a portion of the railway would potentially pass through sacred territory (wahi kapu). ?Our ancestors are one with the land, and putting this foreign? thing will only disrupt our loved ones?, said Lokepa Alepeka, head man of the Puna district. ?They refuse to go around it, as they only worship the almighty Tiki!? The developer?s representative, Charles Hale O Luna, responded at the town hall meeting with, ?Old man, you simply can?t hold back progress! People need to get to work, and forcing the monorail around the land will cause cost overruns. We will all lose out for a better future, jobs for our children, and support for yourselves, our elders!? Headman Alepeka countered, ?You simply cannot destroy tradition for Tikis! Shame on you and your family! We will continue to resist as long as it takes!? The Lower Puna residents have been involved in non-violent protests, either interceding between the development equipment or chaining themselves to ancient trees, preventing the further development of the monorail through the sacred Wao Kele O Puna grounds. The standoff appears to be resting on the court?s decision on this matter next week. Β Link to comment
Bainbridge Islands Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 Β Royal Advisor Accepts Assistance from Principate of Akiiryu Honolulu ? As the King?s condition worsens, the Royal Advisor has tentatively accepted the medical assistance offered by the Principate of Akiiryu. ?Although we have excellent medical facilites in the Kingdom, the Principate has very advanced techniques that may save our king?s life. It would be a mistake to refuse their generous offer. As soon as the king is stable enough to travel, we will arrange with the government and medical professionals of Akiiryu for transport. This is, of course, barring any downgrades in the king?s condition.? His royal prince, and next in line for the throne, Prince Peleke, expressed his outrage. ?Is the Royal Advisor insinuating that we cannot care for our own? We?ll see about this ? he may claim control of the nation, but he is not royalty, simply a commoner, and a haole, at that!? Β Link to comment

Bainbridge Islands Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 (edited) Second company of 22ns SMAG arriving on beach near Iolani Palace Β COUP ATTEMPT ENDED! Honolulu ? At 0030 hours last night, Prince Lapali led an assault on Iolani palace last night, eliminating the Royal guards on the palace grounds, and surprising the usurper, the Royal Advisor Aka Kilikopela . With assistance of special combat forces, the 22nd ?Maka? (shark) Special Marine Assault Group took the control of the palace. The prince found and briefly fought with the RA, killing him in hand-to-hand combat (although it is not certain if traitor was already dead before being thrown out the king?s terrace). The ursurper?s forces, rebels from the Army, were kept at bay with indirect fire from loyalist Army units, and eventually dispersed. They are currently being tracked down by security forces, with the assistance of the Royal Army. Tragically, the bodies of the Royal Family were found in a shallow grave in the Southern grove, including Queen Lelehuli, Prince Peleke, next in line to the throne, and all of the royal siblings, including little Nanene, who celebrated his sixth birthday last week. The Royal Prince will make an official announcement later today.

The appearance categories will be kept (formal wear and swim wear), but the skill categories will be changed from any category the contestants desired to specific islander categories: Hula dancing, Island food preparation, and Lei making. ?The rapid pace modernization eroded the traditional skills that made the women of the islands unique in the world?, stated competition president Lanehi Mahahono. ?By focusing on what makes our island unique will help present a role model for all of our young women.? ?On the contrary, it re-enforces the old belief that women belong in the kitchen, subservient to the whims of their families and husbands?, states Christiana Lolana, a women?s rights advocate to the New Horizons political party. ?The entire show is an abomination, and should be done away with, to prevent harming the psyches of our young women.?

Bainbridge Islands Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 (edited) Β Royal Honolulu suffers stunning defeat by Wainai FC WFC opens with three goals in first 15 minutes, RH cannot equal Wainai ? Royal Honolulu played what could be called their worst game of the season against Wainai FC, allowing three goals within the first fifteen minutes of the match. A lackluster performance by the goalkeeper and poor coordination by the RH defense allowed striker Fredick to score twice within the first nine minutes. In the fifteenth minute, Lelani, the star Wainai midfielder scored on a corner kick, which beautifully curved by the inside post of the RH defenders. Once ahead, Wainai packed their defense, producing a boring but guaranteed ending. ?I?m glad we were able to show up those cocky midfielders ? I think everyone is tired of RH bullying everyone else in the league. They had this loss coming!?, stated a Wainai fan, staggering from the local bar. ?This game was an outrage!
