It's been a great week for Ulupo: WCCC wahine weed-whackers on Wednesday with Rick Scudder of 'Ahahui Malama I ka Lokahi, 30 MINA (Malama I Na Ahupuaʻa - UHM College of Social Services) weeder-planter-mulchers on Saturday with Ryan Uenten of Hikaʻalani, and a dozen-plus Kailua Hawaiian Civic Club shoulder cleaners on Sunday with Mapuana de Silva. The only thing missing – and it's a mea nui – is the hand of Kaleomanu'iwa Wong. He'll be back in 12 days from Tahiti (by way of Rapa Nui, Pitcairn, and Nuku Hiwa), and it's plain to anyone who knows Ulupo that the place itself deeply misses him.
