On Tuesday, Aug. 30, the Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunset invites the public to a talk by Sunny Savage, author of “Wild Food Plants of Hawaii.” She will share her extensive knowledge about the kiawe tree. Savage has been foraging for over 20 years. With multiple degrees in nutrition, she has woven together academia and experience to provide a unique voice for biodiversity in our food systems. Extensive global travel and an appetite for creative endeavors have led her to participate in cutting-edge discussions about the future of food and culture. The Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunset’s community speaker series takes place during club meetings, which are held on the first, third and fifth Tuesday of the month at the Royal Ocean Terrace Restaurant at the Royal Lahaina Resort from 5 to 6:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend.

Lahainaluna Festival to support school activities

LAHAINA – Wondering how to make Labor Day Weekend a fun-filled holiday for the whole family?

Come and experience the first annual Lahainaluna Festival, a school-wide fundraiser featuring live music, game booths, silent auction, crafts and clothing, “Lei”bor Day Lei Contest, food from your favorite eateries and lunch trucks, keiki activities and informational booths.

Proceeds will help support students’ activities as well as the PTSA’s annual Project Graduation all-night party.

Come enjoy I Ka Nani O Lele amidst the beauty of the Lahainaluna High School campus on Saturday, Sept. 3, from 1 to 10 p.m.

In a mistake-plagued effort that included seven turnovers and several botched snaps, the Lahainaluna High School football team dropped a 14-2 decision to Maui High in last Friday night’s Maui Interscholastic League opener for both teams at Sue D. Cooley Stadium. A packed partisan crowd was shocked into silence as the Sabers scored on the Lunas’ first offensive snap on a fumble return for a touchdown, and it was all downhill from there for the Lahainaluna faithful. Maui High scored again on another fumble return for a TD — this one coming as the Lunas were in position to tie the game with a first down on the Sabers’ ten yard line. Lahainaluna scored its only points on a safety in the second quarter. The Lahainaluna junior varsity team beat Maui High by the score of 13-0. The Lunas play King Kekaulike on Friday, Sept. 2, at the Upcountry stadium. PHOTO BY GLEN PASCUAL.
