The unjust internment of Japanese-Americans, and others, during World War II at Honouliuli on Oahu’s west side is fairly well known. President Barack Obama designated Honouliuli as a national monument in 2015 — which makes it somewhat perturbing to hear that it’ll be another five to 10 years before it opens to the public.
Meanwhile, though, educational grants are funding projects such as the short film, “Voices Behind Barbed Wire: Stories of Oahu,” the second installment in a four-part internment series; it’s free and debuts 10 a.m. Saturday at the Hawai’i Convention Center, room 311. After the first installment in 2012, families came forth with information about other, lesser-known confinement sites on the neighbor islands. Research since has identified 17 sites across Hawaii — which just goes to show that even with history, education will beget more education.
Wie returns to top of the leaderboard
Michelle Wie’s final putt to win the 2018 HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore covered more than 36 feet. It covered four years since she last won a major tournament, a period marked by injury and frustration.
“There is no better feeling than when you think you sink that winning putt,” she said. “It’s a high, for sure.”
For her, and for loyal fans who have followed Wie since she was a 10-year-old prodigy, for sure.
