This year we took in Manoa, Palolo, Okinawan festival and several other dances.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/290108277263283107-6884480667781368572?l=dukebainum.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Duke Bainumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10743470148854806145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-290108277263283107.post-62917069440418079162008-09-22T19:03:00.000-07:002008-10-06T11:57:32.553-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNViSmjQdeQ/SN7nwfcIW1I/AAAAAAAAAFE/a1TPWRtO_bw/s1600-h/DSC04501.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNViSmjQdeQ/SN7nwfcIW1I/AAAAAAAAAFE/a1TPWRtO_bw/s320/DSC04501.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250889035819801426" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNViSmjQdeQ/SN7ndojPbRI/AAAAAAAAAE8/FtJOIElxv5I/s1600-h/DSC04499.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNViSmjQdeQ/SN7ndojPbRI/AAAAAAAAAE8/FtJOIElxv5I/s320/DSC04499.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250888711848029458" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Spent the weekend at Manoa District park serving up 'free' shave ice and pop corn. Had so much fun getting to talk with folks, learn what issues were most important to them.<br />Great to see so many families and especially the children using and enjoying our City Parks. I'm sure that you believe as I do that it is so important to maintain our parks for the use of everyone.<br />I did a brisk business to which I attribute to the hot weather and of course, my prices.<br />One thing I would like to finish up about Manoa District Park is that while long time Senator Brian Taniguchi did so much to make the new gym a reality by delivering lots of State monies, yet he is not recognized with a plaque. If elected, I plan to remedy this oversight. Thanks Senator for all you do for Manoa.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/290108277263283107-6291706944041807916?l=dukebainum.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Duke Bainumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10743470148854806145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-290108277263283107.post-11681479667330823952008-09-10T19:42:00.000-07:002008-10-06T12:00:10.199-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNViSmjQdeQ/SN7vpw1K33I/AAAAAAAAAGE/UoKD0CIJ6Wk/s1600-h/DSC04492.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNViSmjQdeQ/SN7vpw1K33I/AAAAAAAAAGE/UoKD0CIJ6Wk/s400/DSC04492.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250897716322164594" border="0" /></a>Took Z to the zoo the other day.

Was a toasty but fun day.<br /><br />Great feeling to stroll around the fine Honolulu Zoo and see many of the improvements completed that were funded during my first term on the City Council. We need to continue to advocate for non-profits (i.e. Honolulu Zoological Society) to be allowed to have more say in the Zoo's operations. Great zoos have followed this model often.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/290108277263283107-1168147966733082395?l=dukebainum.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Duke Bainumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10743470148854806145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-290108277263283107.post-91546533761070545482008-04-27T16:07:00.000-07:002008-10-23T16:18:57.213-07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DNViSmjQdeQ/SQEFHLHcfWI/AAAAAAAAAIk/dtXdfDCkapU/s1600-h/2008Apr27_1"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DNViSmjQdeQ/SQEFHLHcfWI/AAAAAAAAAIk/dtXdfDCkapU/s200/2008Apr27_1" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260491460546690402" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">April 27, 2008</div><div><br /></div><div>Z loves swimming in the Nauru Tower pool.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>He also may have a bright future in the construction industry.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNViSmjQdeQ/SQEGDyMT8MI/AAAAAAAAAI0/Uz5-6TOKRlk/s200/2008Apr27_2" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260492501828235458" /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/290108277263283107-9154653376107054548?l=dukebainum.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Duke Bainumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10743470148854806145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-290108277263283107.post-12100237421858498962008-03-30T19:26:00.000-07:002008-10-06T11:48:46.195-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DNViSmjQdeQ/SN7tMpLQ0UI/AAAAAAAAAFk/Er4kGCenVEs/s1600-h/IMG_0001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DNViSmjQdeQ/SN7tMpLQ0UI/AAAAAAAAAFk/Er4kGCenVEs/s320/IMG_0001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250895017027883330" border="0" /></a>One of my favorite events every year is the rubber ducky race.

Twenty thousand ducks are floated down the Ala Wai. By the way - the volunteers are great at this event.I regret to report that my duck was not in the first 7,000 to finish.
