Teacher Memories

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

To my former eighth grade students at Molokai Middle School…It has been a great honor and a greater pleasure to have been your teacher this past school year. I hope I have been as good a teacher too you as you have been for me. You have taught me that a change in attitude can take a person a long, long way. You have helped change my life and helped make me a better teacher and person, and for this I am truly grateful.

The bitter sweet day that we had talked about has come. I smile with joy in your promotion in life but I am sad that our time has come to an end. We will see each other here and there, every now and then, and we will greet one another in the understanding of how special the other is.

Veteran’s Corner

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

Community Contributed

Column by Jesse Church

Hello veterans, old Jesse here with all the veterans’ news and upcoming events. Tuesday, June 14 is Flag Day, and I was talking with Commander George Harada of VFW Post 3870 who was telling me that most people don’t know the proper way to display our flag. Here are some basic rules to follow:
•    The federal flag code says the universal custom is to display the U.S. flag from sunrise to sunset on buildings and stationary flagstaffs, but for patriotic effect the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness.
•    The U.S. flag should not be displayed when weather is inclement, except when an all-weather flag is displayed.
