Happy #pridemonth! Although our @honolulupride pa

To say we are grateful to you all for following an

To say we are grateful to you all for following and supporting The Hawaiʻi Herald is an understatement. It seems it was just yesterday when we were at 150 followers on IG and barely being recognized or getting the "Oh, you guys still around?" when we'd attend community events.

For those that need to a refresher, we're a bi-monthly newspaper that strives to share and perpetuate Japanese American history and culture, mainly within Hawaiʻi and parts with the U.S. continental.

The company that we're a part of, Hawaii Hochi, was developed 111 years ago by social rights activist, lawyer and changemaker Fred Kinzaburo Makino, who helped Japanese labor workers learn about their rights on the plantations. Through his efforts, a daily Japanese language newspaper was created and has been printing stories in Hawai‘i since 1912.

As we continue to evolve The Hawai'i Herald, which began in 1980, we're excited to share the many voices and stories from our community that uplift our communities values and traditions. From gaman (perseverance) to hokori (pride), we hope to continue to share our founder's mission of giving a voice to the voiceless and standing up for those who need to be heard and seen.

Please consider subscribing to our paper by going to thehawaiiherald.com. There is a print ($54), online ($44), and a print+online combo ($64), which gives you access to many feature articles about our community including columns about #lgbq+ issues, food, lifestyle, retirement, estate-planning, social security, health and wellness and cartoons to name a few!

Mahalo again for your support! We wouldn't be here without you!

In our current issue, Byrnes Yamashita takes a loo

In our current issue, Byrnes Yamashita takes a look at the life of 100th Infantry Battalion/442nd Regimental Combat Team veteran Kenneth “Kenny” Ray Higashi, subject of the children's book “A Place for Harvest: The Story of Kenny Higashi,” written by Lauren R. Harris and illustrated by Felicia Hoshino. The book is written from Higashi's perspective and details his love for his hometown of Spearfish, South Dakota, where the Nisei veteran lived for nearly all of his adult life. The book details the importance of community, and how the Higashi family was accepted by the Spearfish community and never experienced any prejudice, even during the war.

Read more about Higashi in our latest issue, out on stands now! You can also read the story online (up to three reads free!) by going to our link in bio.

A special mahalo to our @kalaheohighschool intern

A special mahalo to our @kalaheohighschool intern Kassidy Lyons who was awarded her completion of the Career & Technical Education work-based learning program tonight.

Kassidy has been an asset to the output of our paper since she started early this year. I've never met a more dedicated, organized and hard-working individual! I only wish she could stay back one more year to help us out, but that would be for very selfish reasons.

Best wishes, Kassidy! We're so happy for you and your future endeavors at #uhmanoa !

In our newest issue, local boy Mark Kanemura @mkik808 – who is a dancer, entertainer, teacher and now author – with his new children’s book “I Am a Rainbow!" to be released next week. Kanemura shares with us how his real life inspired the book – from decked out home performances with cardboard chandeliers and 25-cent show souvenirs to real-life musical theater friend Aiko to dancing with a rainbow cape on Instagram during the pandemic. Kanemura says he wanted the book to feel like an accurate representation of where he came from and the people he grew up around. He credits his family and chosen family for helping him wade through the tough middle school years and emphasizes the importance of finding people to connect with and embrace who you are. Kanemura’s real-life inspired story is a celebration of self-acceptance and a reminder that our differences make all shine bright in our own way.

Support Kanemura by going to linktr.ee/markkanemura and preorder a copy of “I Am a Rainbow!” (prior to its official debut on Tuesday, May 9) at most major retail stores.

In early 2020, The Hawai'i Herald followed the Gen

In early 2020, The Hawai'i Herald followed the Genki Ala Wai Project as they embarked on their quest to clean up the Ala Wai canal and make the notoriously dirty waters swimmable by 2026.

Just two years later, the Ala Wai canal is already showing signs of improvement -- a monk seal and manta ray were recently spotted in the canal!

The project's no-so-secret weapon are Genki Balls, which are shaped out of environmentally friendly ingredients such as clay soil, rice bran, molasses, water and EM-1 solution. The The fermented bacteria in the Genki Balls embed into the sludge’s surface as it digests and oxygenates the sludge while consuming harmful gases and foul odors.

Members of the 100th Infantry Battalion Veterans Clubhouse joined in the Genki Ala Wai Project's efforts and gathered to hand-shape hundreds of Genki Balls and later tossed them into the Ala Wai canal on Earth Day!

It’s been nearly a year and a half since 14,000

It’s been nearly a year and a half since 14,000 gallons of fuel spilled from Kapukaki — known today as Red Hill, a mountain ridge between Halawa and Moanalua located in the ‘Ewa district of O‘ahu — and thousands within the Navy’s water lines began reporting fuel odors, sheens and illnesses consistent with petroleum exposure soon after. Unbeknownst to the public majority at the time, the spillage was in continuation from a “routine fuel movement” made on May 6, 2021, that caused multiple pipes being blown off their couplings, leading to the initial fuel spillage of 1,618 gallons. The number was later revised to 21,000 gallons after the Navy investigated how the fuel contaminated the water in November 2021. Thanks to Hawai‘i’s community members and leading activists, including the Sierra Club of Hawai‘i; the Honolulu Board of Water Supply; O‘ahu Water Protectors and Shut Down Red Hill Mutual Aid, the crisis upon Red Hill has become a familiar topic within Hawai‘i households. A popular figure and leader in the fight against Red Hill has been and continues to be Ernest “Ernie” Lau, chief engineer and manager of the Honolulu Board of Water Supply. Lau’s fight against the Navy for nearly a decade has turned him into the voice for Hawai‘i’s aquifer. While he continues to steer the story to focus on saving Hawai‘i’s drinking water, The Hawai‘i Herald wanted to learn his.
