Editors note,
This blog contains two blogs, "The Greatness of the Garden Island News" and "Gossip."
They were originally going to be run on two separate days, however they are so closely related I did not want anyone to read one without reading the other... Please note there is some tongue-n-cheek and fiction in
these blogs in hopes of reality.

The Greatness of the Garden Island News & Gossip
Island album is one my favorite sections in the Garden Island newspaper. It's a space devoted for photos submitted by the local community. The photos are all submitted pro bono, nobody is payed for their submissions.
Since nobody is compensated for their photos the section should be available on the Garden islands web page and the Garden island's Facebook page, however they are not.
The editorial and Letter's page is my second favorite.That page is available for free online!
It's somewhat ironic that my favorite two sections of the Kaua'i daily newspaper are all provided by community members...Go figure?
If you miss my column please call the editor,(808)-245-0457 or email The Garden Island News (letters@thegardenisland.com) and tell them you miss Kimo's world!
The greatness of the Garden Island news runs with fellow letter writers, Island album contributors, guest columnists and at times even the paid staff as seen below; ;-)

Gossip (Part-2) The Greatness of the Garden Island News!)
Gossip is one of the first things the Christian and Jewish bible denounce. Yet most "religious people" I know gossip quite a bit. Many of the Rabbi's and Pastors I know are the prime initiators of gossip.
"Did you know she's cheating on her husband," or "that guy checks into the hospital only for the free meals since he's on medicaid?"
The Coconut wireless is the major way gossip (news) spreads on the cosmic garden island of Kaua'i.
People are always making stuff up about people they don't like. Is this because there is a lack of activities to keep people occupied on Kauai or are people just plain evil? Why? I don't know.
People love talking... Listening to gossip is fun, thinking you know things others don't. Be careful because listening to gossip is just as sinful as being the deliverer of gossip according to holy scriptures.
My late beloved father used to say, the surest way to get the word out is to tell 10 people, "Please do not tell anyone." Most cannot stand not telling, especially when asked not to.
This is how gossip is spread.
Although I do not like gossip, please spread the word Kimo Rosen has his column back in the Garden Island news. Just kiddin-not really, but sure would be nice!
