Earth and Space News: Kawailoa Activities Antedate Magnum’s Winner Takes All Jan. 20, 2019

Summary: Kawailoa activities antedate Magnum’s Winner Takes All Jan. 20, 2019, and May the Best One Win re-aired Aug. 21, 2020, about all to one, none to all else.

Kawailoa activities antedate Magnum’s Winner Takes All Jan. 20, 2019, and May the Best One Win May 8, 2020, re-aired Aug. 21, 2020, about all to one and none to all else.

First-season 12th-episode director Amanda Marsalis and writer Gene Hong and second-season 19th-episode director Rocky Carroll and writer Gene Hong brandish private investigators battling with one another. The former creative team casts Thomas Magnum (Jay Hernandez) against Luther Gillis (Ken Jeong) and other investigators for $200,000 to catch bail-skipping Skip Jenkins (Jake Matthews). The latter creative team directs Magnum to defend John Gilbert (Daniel Bonjour) against wife Maxine Gilbert (Azita Ghanizada) defended by Magnum’s co-investigator, Juliet Higgins (Perdita Weeks).

The two investigative experiences respectively expose how Magnum ekes an economizing existence by embracing cases from economically stressed clients and how much Higgins effectuates case closures.

Magnum fathoms or fixes some failure, foolishness or fumbling in Kawailoa (from Hawaiian ka, “the”; wai, “water”; and loa, “long”), Oahu (from Hawaiian o’ahu, “gathering place”).

The Kawailoa group gives Magnum, granting that “sometimes, the clients who need the most help can’t afford to pay you,” two chickens, Beaker and Chick Norris. The koolaupoko (from Hawaiian ko’olau, “windward” and poko, “short”) district on the North Shore harbors harnessable winds, haunting histories, hiking trails, hospitable beachfronts and huge homes. The Hawaiian Electric Company includes in its energy portfolio some of the energy impelled by the 30 331.36-foot (101-meter) diameter, 2,300-kilowatt-imparting turbines of Kawailoa Wind Farm.

Kawailoa Wind Farm unintentionally jeopardizes endangered, Hawaii-only Hawaiian hoary bats (ōpe’ape’a locally, Lasiurus semotus scientifically) and Hawaiian petrels (ʻuaʻu, Pterodroma sandwichensis) journeying near its three-bladed turbines.

Kawailoa, known as such from its 9.2-mile- (14.9-kilometer-) long namesake longest stream on Oahu and its 2.9-square-mile (7.5-square-kilometer) namesake watershed, keeps anciently disarming and disquieting legacies.

Ancient Hawaiian culture lauds Ihukoko for leading Hawaiian flagtails (āholehole, Kuhlia sandvicensis and Kuhlia xenura) from her family, ocean-floor home, Kahikihonuakele (“the land that moved away”). Ihukoko, as Kukeapua’s [“flower bud”) and Hinaluaikoa’s (“vomiting coral”) daughter and Kaiuli’s (“dark[-watered] sea”) and Kaikea’s (“white[-foamed] sea”) granddaughter, metamorphoses into husband Kawailoa’s namesake Oahuan waters. Perhaps 200 to 300 cannibals under Chief Kalo Aikanaka, nicknamed Kokoa, navigated southern seas northward to Kauai and, ten years later, between 1660 and 1695, Oahu.

David Kalākaua (Nov. 16, 1836-Jan. 20, 1891), last monarch (Feb. 12, 1874-Jan. 20, 1891) of the Kingdom of Hawai’i (1795-1893), outlined cannibal landing parties at Kawailoa.

Cannibal-free, present-day Kawailoa possesses a brown-gold-sanded beach proximitous to grassy, tree-shaded picnic grounds; pretty rock-and-sand coastlines; and peaceful waters perfect for fishing, snorkeling, surfing and swimming.

Twenty-first-century Kawailoa qualifies as a quintessential quilt in quartering area architecture and campground quaintly and quietly family-friendly and a Civilian Conservation Corps trail from 1934 quixotically. Twentieth- and 21st-century Kawailoa, from King Kamehameha Highway beach-ward, reveals 2,600-square-foot to 1-acre (241.55- to 4,046.86-square-meter) plot and 1,000- to 11,000-square-foot (92.90- to 1,021.93-square-meter) residence ranges. Kawailoa ghost town of Waialua Sugar Company shelters for mill camp workers, deserted and behind locked gates, seems singularly strong as possible source of chicken-bartering clients.

Magnum, perhaps animal-phobic, traipses antipathetically around all-season Doberman pinscher property-mates and first-season tabbies even as he takes a goat and Kawailoa chickens from first-season bartering clients.
