LAHAINA — Ua hoʻolilo ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ʻo Miguel Cardona i kekahi lā i loko o nā moʻolelo o ke kūpaʻa a me ka manaʻolana mai nā haumāna, nā kumu aʻo a me nā alakaʻi kaiaulu o Lahaina. 

"Ke haʻalele nei au me ka manaʻolana, me ka ʻike e hiki i kēia kaiāulu ke aʻo i ke koena o ka ʻāina i nā haʻawina e pili ana i ka hui ʻana," wahi a Cardona. "Ua aʻo au pehea, ma ka pae federal, pono mākou e hoʻomau i ke kākoʻo wale nō, akā e hoʻolohe i nā pono o kā mākou mau haumāna i ko mākou kaiāulu ma ʻaneʻi, a pono wau e ʻōlelo, ke haʻalele nei au i ka hoʻoikaika."

Aia ʻo Cardona i Hawaiʻi i ka Pōʻalima e ʻike maka i ke ʻano o ke ola hou ʻana a me ke kūkulu hou ʻana o nā kula o Lahaina a me ke Keʻena Hoʻonaʻauao o ka Mokuʻāina ʻo Hawaiʻi ma hope o ke ahi ahi o Maui i hoʻoneʻe ʻia ma kahi o 3,000 mau haumāna ma Maui Komohana. 

Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia i ke kakahiaka ma ke kula kūʻokoʻa no ka Mōʻī Kamehameha III Elementary ma Pulelehua. Ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ke ahi i ka pā kula mua o ke kula haʻahaʻa ma Front Street, ua kūkulu ka Federal Emergency Management Agency a me US Army Corps of Engineers i ke kahua no ka manawa, i wehe ʻia i nā haumāna i ʻApelila.

Ma kahi kūkākūkā papa ʻaina i alakaʻi ʻia e Cardona me Superintendent Keith Hayashi a me nā alakaʻi o ke kula, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ke kamaʻilio ʻana i nā mea nui o ka hoʻihoʻi hou ʻana, nā pilikia e mau nei, a me ke koʻikoʻi o ke kākoʻo federal.

“Ma mua, i ka wā, ma hope ... Manaʻo wau ʻo ka manaʻo nui he kūpaʻa nā keiki. ʻO kā mākou limahana a me ko mākou kaiāulu, ua kūpaʻa lākou,” wahi a Gary Kanamori, ke poʻo o ke Kula Haʻahaʻa o ke Kamāliʻiwahine Nāhiʻenaʻena, ka mea i hui pū i kona pā kula me ka Mōʻī Kamehameha III Elementary no ʻeono mahina ma hope o ke ahi.

"E like me kaʻu e hoʻomanaʻo nei, ʻoiai he kamaliʻi e ulu ana ma Maui, ua ikaika mau ʻo Lahaina - kona ʻano wahi, kona ikaika i ke kaiāulu," wahi a Kanamori. “A ʻoiai ua loaʻa kekahi o nā ahi ʻino loa i ka mōʻaukala o ko kākou lāhui, ua kūpaʻa nā keiki. He kamaliʻi nā keiki, a makemake lākou i ke kula. "

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻoiai ʻo nā haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa ma muli o ka nalowale ʻana o ka manawa aʻo, ke hāʻawi nei nā kula o Lahaina i kahi kaiapuni i aloha ʻia a mālama ʻia nā haumāna.

"Ma ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo, maopopo ua nele lākou i ka nui o nā ʻōlelo aʻo 'maʻamau' akā no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā ʻōnaehana ... hiki iā mākou ke hālāwai me lākou ma kahi a lākou e kamaʻilio ai i nā pono a me nā ʻeke," wahi a Kanamori. "Hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomaopopo i ka wā e kū mai ai kēlā mau hae ʻulaʻula, e hoʻoponopono iā ia e like me ka mea e pono ai, a laila hāʻawi pū i nā kumu waiwai i nā mākua - ma ke kula a me ka manaʻo."

Ma ke kula haʻahaʻa o ka Mōʻī Kamehameha III, ua haʻi ʻo Principal Ian Haskins i ke ʻano o kāna koʻokoʻo i hana mua ai i ka pono o ka naʻau o nā haumāna ma hope o ke ahi. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, ʻokoʻa ke kaumaha o nā haumāna ma mua o nā pākeke, a ke hoʻomau nei ke kula i ka nānā ʻana i ke olakino o nā haumāna a hāʻawi i nā kākoʻo e pono ai.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Cardona, me nā ahi e hele mai ana ma nā kuʻekuʻe wāwae o ka maʻi maʻi, manaʻo ʻo ia e hoʻokō pū ana nā limahana kula i ka trauma ʻoiai ke manaʻo ʻia nei e mālama i nā haumāna.

Ua ʻōlelo ke poʻo kula ʻo Lahainaluna, ʻo Richard Carosso, ua hoʻohana kāna kula i hoʻokahi makahiki e hāʻawi i ke kākoʻo olakino noʻonoʻo ma ka pā kula no nā limahana, kahi e hoʻohana nei nā limahana. 

“ʻAʻole mākou i ʻike i ka nui o nā keiki e hele mai ana. ʻAʻole mākou i ʻike i ka nui o nā mākua e hele mai ana,” wahi a Carosso, e pili ana i nā manaʻo o Lahainaluna i ka makahiki kula i hala e wehe i kahi kahua ukali ma ke kahua kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Kūlanihākoʻi ma Maui Hema aʻo ka pā kula ʻo Lahainaluna e nānā ana i nā loiloi kaiapuni a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana ma hope o ke ahi.

"I ka makahiki i hala aku nei, manaʻo nui wau i ka poʻe mākua, holo wale mākou a pau i ka adrenaline e hoʻi hou no nā keiki," wahi a Carosso. "ʻOiai he mau alakaʻi mākou e hopohopo nei i nā mea like ʻole e hiki ke hele hewa, ua hui pū nā limahana a hoʻoponopono i nā mea āpau. Ua ʻoi aku ka nui o nā keiki ma mua o kā mākou i manaʻo ai, a ʻoi aku ka nui o nā limahana ma mua o kā mākou i manaʻo ai.

Ua hoʻohiki ʻo Cardona e lawe i kāna mea i aʻo ai i ka US Department of Education, kahi āna i ʻōlelo ai ʻoi aku ma mua o 4,000 mau limahana - me ka poʻe e pili ana i ka pane pilikia - e hoʻomau i ka hana o ka ʻoihana ma hope o kona haʻalele ʻana i ke keʻena.

"ʻO kaʻu mea e makemake ai e hōʻoia i koʻu haʻalele ʻana i ʻaneʻi, haʻalele wau me: ʻO kēia nā mea e hana nei a ʻo ia nā mea e pono ai mākou e nānā hou aku."

Ua kipa aku ʻo Cardona, he kumu kula haʻahaʻa mua a he poʻo kumu, i nā lumi papa a hui pū me nā haumāna i ka wā hoʻomaha, kahi i noi ai kekahi mau haumāna iā ia i kāna kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi a hoʻokipa iā ia i ke mele ʻana i ka 'Hawaiʻi Pono Ī. 

Ma Lahainaluna, ua hui ʻo Cardona me nā luna aupuni haumāna o ke kula kiʻekiʻe e lohe i ko lākou mau ʻike a me nā manaʻolana o ka wā e hiki mai ana ma mua o ka huakaʻi ʻana i ka pā kula mōʻaukala. I ka nīnau ʻia ʻana e wehewehe i ko lākou kaiāulu i hoʻokahi huaʻōlelo, ua pane nā haumāna me: aloha, ʻohana, manawa ʻole a aloha.

Hāʻawi ʻo Cardona i kāna ʻōlelo ponoʻī: nani. “ʻOiai ka ʻeha, nui ka nani. Aia ka nani i loko o nā kānaka, nā pilina, ke ʻano o kou hōʻike ʻana. ʻAʻole kēlā ahi e wehewehe iā ʻoe, "i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, ʻo nā mākau alakaʻi i koi ʻia e loaʻa iā lākou ma hope o ke ahi e kōkua iā lākou e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka wā ʻaʻole i hiki.

Ma mua o ka haʻalele ʻana, ua noʻonoʻo ʻo Cardona i ka ʻuhane o ke kaiāulu āna i ʻike ai i kāna huakaʻi pōkole.

"ʻOliʻoli loa wau i ka hui ʻana o nā mea a pau a me ke ʻano o ka hilinaʻi ʻana i ke kaiāulu ma ʻaneʻi - kahi mea, manaʻo wau, ikaika a hoʻoikaika."
