He wahi maluhia ʻo Hawaiʻi no ka wahine e ʻōmilomilo.
ʻO ia aʻela kekahi poʻo nūhou o kēia lā, ka lā 12 o ʻOkakopa, he Pōʻakolu. Welina e nā makamaka. ʻO Ke Aolama kēia a penei ka nūhou.
Ma ke kauoha hoʻokō a ke Kiaʻāina David Ige i hoʻopuka aʻe nei, ʻo ka ʻōmilomilo ʻana, he mea kū nō i ke kānāwai. A ʻo ka poʻe wāhine no waho o Hawaiʻi e hele mai i ʻaneʻi nei no ka ʻōmilo ʻana, e hoʻomalu ʻia iho nō ma muli o ia kauoha a Ige. A pēlā pū nō me nā mea nāna e kōkua i ka wahine ma ka ʻōmilo ʻana a me nā mea nāna e lawelawe ka ʻōmilomilo ʻana a nāna paha e hāʻawi i ka hua ale ʻōmilomilo i nā wāhine no waho o Hawaiʻi nei. Ke hoʻāʻo ihola kekahi mau mokuʻāina e hana i kānāwai kahi e hoʻopaʻi ʻia ai nā wāhine nāna e hele i kekahi mokuʻāina no ka ʻōmilomilo ʻana me ka hoʻopaʻi pū ʻia nō hoʻi o ka mea nāna e hana.
E kū aku ana kekahi mau kānaka ʻelua i mua o ka ʻaha hoʻokolokolo i ka lā 25 o Nowemapa ma muli o ko lāua ʻō iʻa ʻana ma Waikīkī i ka pō. ʻO nā inoa o ua mau kānaka lā, ʻo Alvin Lucio lāua ʻo Rettios Rouk. He 32 a lāua iʻa. Pāpā ʻia, ʻaʻole e ʻō iʻa ma Waikīkī mai ka hola 6:00 o ke ahiahi a ka hola 6:00 o ke kakahiaka. A ʻo kekahi pilikia, ʻekolu o nā iʻa, he mau Kala ʻiʻi. Hoʻopiʻi ʻia nō hoʻi ʻo Lucio lāua ʻo Rouk no ka loaʻa o ke Kala ʻuʻuku, ʻaʻole i nui e like me ka mea i ʻae ʻia ma ke kānāwai.
Ma nā lā i kaʻa hope aku nei, make iho nei nā koholā pailaka he nui ma hope o ko lākou ili ʻana aʻe me kekahi mau kahakai o Aotearoa. I ka Pōʻalima nei, ili aku nei he 232 ma kahakai o Tupuangi a i ka Pōʻakahi nei, he 245 ma ke Kai Kūʻono o Waihere. Aia ia mau kahakai ma Wharekauri, he pae ʻāina he 500 mile ma ka hikina o nā mokupuni nui o Aotearoa. ʻO ka mea maʻa mau, hoʻolana ʻia nā koholā ma ke kai, akā, ma muli o ka manō e holo ana ma kahi e kokoke ana, ʻaʻole i hiki. He mea maʻa mau ka ili hewa ʻana o nā koholā pailaka he nui hewahewa ma Aotearoa, a ʻoi loa aku ma nā mahina kau wela.
Eia mai kā kākou ʻōlelo noʻeau,
Molale loa nō kumupali o Kalalau.
ʻO ia hoʻi, akāka ka lalau o kekahi, ʻaʻole paha maopopo ka mea e kamaʻilio ʻia ana.
