paper’s credibility
It is very disappointing that West Hawaii Today now has “sponsored links” at the end of every article or column. These sites promote spurious stories, which seem awfully close to being fake news. If you are hurting that much more revenue, surely there are better ways to earn it. The appearance of these links really cheapens the overall authenticity and credibility of the paper.

More kudos for ‘Miracle Worker’
Mahalo to the Aloha Theatre and all of its many participants, most of whom are volunteers including actors, costume makers, directors, set makers, lighting, sound, and stage hands.
“The Miracle Worker” is absolutely fantastic. The acting unbelievable. It is amazing that our small community has so many talented and dedicated people. How fortunate we are to be able to view their marvelous creations year after year.

We are the ambassadors of aloha
As residents, we open our arms to everyone, especially visitors year around. Remember that cars don’t have tags that read “I’m from Ohio, Canada, or Holualoa. We are all here to enjoy Hawaii. We are generous to our community when we volunteer for projects that create a better life for residents and visitors.
It’s our way of showing our aloha to each other when we are thoughtful letting someone in from a street or driveway. We recall when a neighbor or a friend reminds that honking is actually rude, so we use the horn when its necessary, not to scold one another. We carefully watch for bicyclists in their skinny bike paths and respect them, especially when Ironman comes to town. When you’re having a bad hair day, stay home, it’s better not to yell at a bicyclist, or run a red light intentionally, or not move over for a ambulance.
Just remember, we are the ambassadors of aloha, and it’s our way of life. Mahalo.
