"The news will come to me..."

Somehow the news seems to follow me. I do not need to go anywhere special, whatever is in my daily agenda usually brings tomorrows headlines on Kauai.

This past week I was the first to find out our Mayor was no longer running un-apposed and broke the scoop to the mayor and local paper.

I also found out another unknown want to be politician is running for county council.

Then on Wednesday, the day I go to the farmers market I am late and the people I usually sit with were run over, normally I would had been there with them. Thank G-d they are OK.

Last night my neighbor walks on the trail I have been harassed by 3 cops, 3 squad cars and 2 video camera's but he is not even given a warning of trespass but is guided home since he said he was on medication and is local.

Finally Friday, I decide to relax and garden and right in my back yard on a road hardly nobody drives on a former NFL football player and a local man calling each other racist slurs have a major fight, leaving the NFL guy all bloody and rushed to hospital.

I don't know what tomorrow will will bring but know that the news will come to me.

" It was a manic moment, followed by a depressive overture..." Local politics

Lani Lani Lani Lani Lani!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lani Kawahara is a local  woman who serves on the county council, A few of us are hoping she runs for mayor to give our current mayor some competition.

Diana Labedz, an unknown political name is running for mayor, a huge long-shot, (I would have a better chance than Diana) to get her name and ego out, there's no way to beat our current NFL good ole boy mayor, Bernard Carvalho  jr. who played for the 1984 Miami dolphins, go ahead google it.

I actually was at the elections office on Monday,the day  Diana Labedz applied for her  papers to run for mayor.  I was actually the number 3 signature on her list of registered voters. I actually gave the scoop to the local paper and also advised the mayor he was no longer running unopposed since I had stopped by his office to talk about local police harassment, but he was in a meeting? (yea right)

Ken Taylor another unknown political name  also pulled his papers to run for county council the same day,  to run for county council.

The reason I was at the elections office is that I was actually thinking of running for county council myself, It was a manic moment, followed by a depressive overture. I actually asked to file, they took my license, I then felt ill, and said maybe next time.

I do like Bernard our current mayor, but so far this coming mayoral election is like watching a blowout football game, everyone enjoys a nail biter, especially on the winning side.  so I will say it again, Go Lani Go, instead of, “Go Granny go, the little old lady from Pasadena,” HOW ABOUT “GO LANI GO, THE LIBRARIAN WITH BRAINS FROM KAPA'A TOWN.” Lani Kawahara for mayor!
