Jet Set

On this Earth, everything comes to an end in due time.
We try not to mourn too much at the passing of an epoch,
but each era closes in bittersweet sorrow none the less.
We here in Honolulu bear witness this evening to the passing
of an era.
In the past decade there haven't been more things that have
kept me going than KTUH Honolulu. In times good and bad, Ktuh Honolulu has been a
constant source of motivation and inspiration, and it has provided
my inner warrior with a much needed soundtrack to fight forward and
keep marching steadily forward.
In all that time, Dj mr.nick has been a mainstay on the Honolulu
airwaves. His show, the Jet Set, brought me a lot of much needed joy
and comfort. For years I was excited just at the opportunity to be able
to tune in to his show, but then when it finally became time for me to
become a part of the KTUH ohana, I was privileged to have been trained
by him. Now, after all this time, Nick's time to pass the torch along has
finally come.
Tonight is truly the end of an era, but instead of wallowing with a saddened
heart I strengthen my resolve. We're all extremely fortunate to have had Nick Yee
share time and music with us. Now that the Jet Set has come to a close on KTUH we
can only be thankful for what he's shared with us and in his wake we wait for the
greatness that the next generation of his successors with bring to enrich both the
community and the world at large.
Aloha nui loa and many mahalos, Mr. Nick!
Viva KTUH!!!

Phineas Gage - Insect Stars

Insect Stars

Pull you in

You're drowning again

In a chair across the room

I can see

When you sink it chokes me

I hope you're better soon

It's three o'clock

It's getting dark

It's two o'clock

It's fine...

And I can't understand

Mistakes made by the man

I'm sure that they'll defend

The reasons you pretend

And I will not complain

It's too hard to explain

The feeling, what I say

It's just a waste of time

And I can't remember

How I made amends

And I can't remember

How I made amends

Insect eyes

I can't recognize

The red and blue and white

When no one cares

When nobody stares

Insect eyes

I can't recognize

The red, the blue, the white

It's four o'clock

It's almost dark

It's three o'clock

It's night...

And I can't understand

Mistakes made by the man

I'm sure that they'll defend

The reasons you pretend

And I will not complain

It's too hard to explain

The feeling, what I say

It's just a waste of time

And I can't remember

How I made amends

And I can't remember

How I made amends

It's five o'clock

It's almost dark

It's four o'clock

The music stopped

It's three o'clock

I'm getting lost

It's two o'clock

And now we're gone

And I can't understand

Mistakes made by the man

I'm sure that they'll defend

The reasons you pretend

And I will not complain

It's too hard to explain

The feeling, what I say

It's just a waste of time

And I can't remember

How I made amends

And I can't remember

How I made amends

Scud Mountain Boys - Silo

I'm gonna burn the silo when you go.
I'm gonna burn the silo when you go.
Gonna burn the silo, see the flames and then you'll know-
Gonna burn the silo when you go;
When you go...

I'm gonna shoot the livestock when you go.
I'm gonna shoot the livestock when you go.
Gonna shoot the livestock, I'll put an end to the talk;
I'm gonna shoot the livestock when you go.
When you go...

Cause I'm half way drown in this soggy little town,
And I can see the silo all arise.
Cause I'm half way drown in this soggy little town,
And I can see the silo touch the sky.

I'm gonna burn the silo when you go.
I'm gonna burn the silo when you go.
Gonna burn the silo, see the flames and maybe know-
Gonna burn the silo when you go;
When you go...
When you go...
When you go...
When you go...

The Weight – Dragged Back In

The Weight – Dragged Back In

Well, the city’s got limits, girl, and so do I.

I’m at my breaking point, in uneven smiles.

But if you’ll be my lamplighter,

I’ll dream of sleep,

And crowd back to the gutter

before the light can hit the streets.

You were gone before you ever even touched the ground;

I were born to indecision, turned on a dime.

I was ____* unsteady course, and stumbler falling forward

toward a great divorce.

You drink vodkas and cranberry whiskeys and Coke.

You need me to light your cigarettes,

And laugh at all your jokes.

You made a fool outta me before I ever got a chance.

Now, I’ll make a liar outta you if you don’t save me this dance.

Cause I always wanted your affections,

now I don’t know what to do with them

You say you crave my attention,

but I’m tired and I won’t be dragged back in.

So if you get a phone call while I’m away from home,

don’t answer for me darlin’, I get desperate while I’m alone.

In the lands down the road we’ll draw the straightest path

So my aimless feet won’t wander, so my course is always set.

When my faith turned away from you and the tires want in tread

Press a needle ore and north*, pulls me back again instead.

If you’ll be my destiny well I’m cheatin’ fate this time.

An’ I pull my body forward and leave my heart behind.

Cause I always wanted your affections,

now I don’t know what to do with them.

You say you crave my attention,

but I’m tired and I won’t be dragged back in.

Dragged back in

Dragged back in

Well, I’m tired and I won’t be dragged back in.

Dragged back in

Well, I’m tired and I won’t be dragged back in.

* At those two points in the song I could not decipher the lyrics.

City Looks for plan for Haiku Stairs

City Looks for plan for Haiku Stairs

by Gordon Y.K. Pang

Honolulu Star-Advertiser

Tuesday, March 26, 2013

Members of the City Council and Mayor Kirk Caldwell’s administration promised to try again to come up with a plan for the Haiku Stairs that would appease both hikers and Kaneohe residents who say they’re tired of unruly visitors and other trespassers.

Members of the Friends of Haiku Stairs want the city to reopen access roads to the hiking trail and to institute a management program there similar to Haunauma Bay Nature Preserve.

But at a Council Parks Committee meeting Monday, the area’s state lawmakers, fire and police representatives and a resident said it’s time that access to Haiku Stairs, also known as the Stairway to Heaven, be cut off permanently by removing the bottom rungs of the trail.

At the end of the meeting, Council Parks Chairman Joey Manahan said he will establish a working group or task force “to look at possible solutions.”

Windward Councilman Ikaika Anderson said he views Caldwell’s position critical to a possible opening.

Caldwell issued a release later Monday saying the illegal trespassing problems raised by Haiku residents must be resolved before he will support reopening the stairs.

“The Haiku Stairs is a unique attraction and I would like to find a solution or partnership that might allow the city to reopen them, but that will only happen if the access issue is resolved to the neighborhood’s satisfaction.”

The stairs were part of the Coat Guard’s Omega transmission station at the bottom of Haiku Valley and were built by the Navy in 1943 to reach the cable facilities above the valley. Wooden stairs were replaced with galvanized metal ones in 1955.

The city, under the leadership of former Mayor Jeremy Harris and then Windward Councilman Steve Holmes, took ownership of the stairs from the military in the early 2000s and the city spent $875,000 to repair them. But jurisdictional entanglements ensued as opposition from residents mounted and the attraction never reopened.

State Re. Ken Ito, (D, Kaneohe-Maunawili-Kailua) said he does not believe the trail should be reopened, at least not until neighborhood concerns are addressed.

Ito said the state Department of Transportation and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, which both own property the public will need to access the city-owned stairs, have indicated a reluctance to make their sections public.

Ito said he has tried for more than 10 years to resolve the issues involving the stairs.

Caroline Sluyter, DOT spokeswoman, told the Star-Advertiser that a DOT-maintained road used during construction of the H-3 freeway is not paved and was never intended to be a public road.

Fire Department Capt. Dale Mosher said fire officials hold that not only should the trail be closed, but that the city should remove the stairs on the lower portion to shut them down permanently.

“We think it’s risky to the public,” Mosher said. “We think it’s risky to ourselves and we would like it shut down.”

A string of Friends of Haiku Stairs supporters and hiking enthusiasts urged Council members to at least listen to arguments for reopening the trail, which they view as a valuable environmental and cultural resource.

Many said they believe a majority of the concerns raised by the residents stem from the tendency of hikers to try to reach the stairs in the middle of the night to avoid being stopped by security guards stationed at the base of the trail during the day. Vernon Ansell, Friends of Haiku Stairs president, said there are four access roads that can be reopened that would allow hikers to reach the stairs during daylight hours without disturbing neighbors.

Like other supporters, Ansell said the trail is a unique treasure that should be valued and preserved. His group holds tree to four work days a year along the trail, clearing it and removing alien species. “It’s just amazing what’s up there and can be made available to the general public,” he said.

Supporters of reopening the trail also dismissed conchs that it is unsafe, noting that the death of a man on the stairs two years ago was the result of a heart attack.
