Feral Cat Solutions from Lana’i Cat Sanctuary: Keoni Vaughn
What to do about Hawaii’s feral cats? It was the subject of a poll we talked about on Monday - and the results weren’t pretty. The Reality Check with Civil Beat focused on their survey showing almost 70 percent of Oahu voters polled wanted the cats removed...a choice which clearly encompassed the idea of euthanizing the cats…. There are some 300 thousand on Oahu according to estimates. But on Lana’i, a cat sanctuary has a different approach and while, there are far fewer cats to deal with, Keoni Vaugh hopes some of the same strategies might be used wherever feral cats have taken up residence.

Seabury Hall Production of Sister Act: David Ward
It’s a comedy setup that’s hard to beat: a witness to a homicide dons a habit and hides out in a nunnery. That’s the premise of the movie and musical Sister Act. It’s coming to Maui’s Seabury Hall in an ambitious production, with a choir, dancers, and live musical accompaniment. There are 27 in the cast all told, and it’s Director and choreographer David Ward’s job to make sense of it all.
Intro Music: Guava Jam by The Sunday Manoa
