A pacific golden plover (Pluvialis fulva) and a house sparrow. Though many of Kalani’s birds are socially well adapted, the plover is one exception. Called kōlea in Hawaiian, aptly meaning “one who takes and leaves,” it is largely solitary in nature. In this rare instance, the plover relents to share a piece of bread with the sparrow, though not before several failed attempts to scare the latter away.

A cluster of tents formed by houseless families and individuals is seen at 350 Sumner St., in front of the Institute For Human Services. Sadly, the homelessness issue is no stranger to the city of Honolulu. According to the shelter Point-in-Time (PIT) there has been a gradual rise in homelessness in Hawaii, increasing about 37% from 2009 to 2016. Although the 2021 PIT was canceled due to the pandemic, homelessness coordinator Scott Morishige predicts a steady increase if the state and city migration efforts are ineffective. Since COVID-19, more people have lost their jobs or are struggling financially. Fortunately, a new homeless shelter is being constructed from an abandoned building at 806 Iwilei Rd.

Kalani High School has so much creativity that’s often overlooked. Our arts department doesnt get as much attention as our sports, even though we have murals all over the school. We need to acknowledge the students creativity and have galleries and events to showcase everyone’s art. We should have more creative classes like theater and give more outlets for students to express themselves.

Tris is a four-year-old pit bull mix adopted from the humane society because of her bubbly personality and has already mastered five tricks, such as shake. The adopt dont shop slogan started from Last Chance for Animals (LCA) in Los Angeles and aims to dissuade people from purchasing a dog from a breeder or puppy mill. Every year, an estimated 1.5 million adoptable shelter dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). Every time an animal is adopted a space opens up in the shelter, also allowing another animal’s life to be saved. If it was ever a consideration to get a pet, please adopt from a local shelter or rescue and help find them their forever home. Photo and caption by Kylie Tanimura.
