Podcast appearances and mentions of king kamehameha

Welcome back to BeRad The Pod. On this episode, I interview Carson about his ancestral history in Hawaiʻi, which stems back to Kaha Huha, a guardian of King Kamehameha who later became a chief of war and a skilled canoe shaper. We talk about his family's connection to the ocean, what he learned from growing up working with the land on his family's ranch, and how his relationship with running has changed now that he's married to a professional ultra runner. We wrap up the episode with some listener questions! This was one of our most requested episodes! Let us know what you think.Like the pod? LIKE COMMENT SHARE SUBSCRIBE!!

Join Michael Jaco and special guest Michelle Melendez, author of The Great Maui Land Grab, as they dive deep into the untold stories and chilling realities surrounding the devastating fires in Lahaina, Maui. From the shocking lack of reconstruction progress—only 20 building permits issued out of 2,200 destroyed homes—to the alarming government attempts to seize land for "workforce housing," Melendez exposes the dark undercurrents of corruption and injustice. In this explosive episode, Melendez and Jaco challenge the official narrative, presenting compelling evidence of directed energy weapons, anomalies like melted cars beside untouched trees, and the tragic disappearance of countless children, with unreported death tolls far exceeding the official numbers. They connect these events to broader patterns of destruction, including California and North Carolina fires, raising questions about a coordinated effort to displace communities and implement so-called "smart cities."

Hawaii's GOP party has been celebrating the new president elect. We'll tell you how many seats they picked up in the state legislature as well. Some voters spent up to 6 hours in line on Tuesday. Honolulu's city clerk is apologizing and discussing what steps the city is taking to work on this process. West Maui families will soon get to weigh-in on a proposed site to rebuild King Kamehameha the third Elementary School. More details on the plan, next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Horse Race: JRA to Induct Contrail, King Kamehameha into Hall of Fame

In this weeks episode, we cover two weeks of weather surf and night sky plus a comprehensive list of all the events surrounding King Kamehameha week. Also are you ready for the June 3 parade of planets? Will I have details on that coming up?

Jason Evans of SilverShark Media speaks to Daryl Fujiwara, event coordinator for a number of events on Maui including the upcoming Nā Kamehameha Commemorative Pā‘ū Parade and Ho‘olaule‘a on June 15th.  In this podcast Daryl talks about how he grew up attending and supporting local events across the island, how he began helping to plan and coordinate events, the importance of collaboration in event planning, what went into planning for the 2024 King Kamehameha Day Parade, how the location this year was selected, how this year will be different, what types of applications the parade is looking at for participants, the upcoming Maui Ag Fest on June 1st, the return of Wailuku First Friday's in July, and the Festivals of Aloha later this year.  

King Kamehameha was the original Hawaiian superhero—legend says he was born with a comet lighting up the sky, hinting at his future badassery. He turned his warrior's spirit into action, unifying Hawaii with clever tactics and serious muscle, like literally pushing his enemies off cliffs. He didn't just fight with spears; he was all about upgrading to the latest tech—hello, Western firearms! His epic victory at the Battle of Nuʻuanu was the stuff of legends, making him the undisputed boss of the Hawaiian Islands. Kamehameha wasn't just a king; he was a legend who built a kingdom to last.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wildfires on Hawaii's island of Maui have killed at least 55 people and destroyed a historic town, officials said. The number of deaths is expected to rise even higher. Officials said it will take years to rebuild Lahaina, the one-time capital of the former kingdom of Hawaii. Governor Josh Green said the fire was the worst natural disaster in the state's history, making thousands of people homeless and burning as many as 1,000 buildings. In 1960, a tsunami killed 61 people in the state. "It's going to take many years to rebuild Lahaina," Green said at a Thursday news conference.官员称，夏威夷毛伊岛的野火已造成至少 55 人死亡，并摧毁了一座历史城镇。预计死亡人数还会进一步上升。官员们表示，重建前夏威夷王国的首都拉海纳需要数年时间。州长乔什·格林表示，这场火灾是该州历史上最严重的自然灾害，导致数千人无家可归，并烧毁了多达 1000 栋建筑物。1960年，一场海啸导致该州61人死亡。“重建拉海纳需要很多年的时间，”格林在周四的新闻发布会上说。Lahaina was once the home of King Kamehameha, who united Hawaii under a single kingdom. Kings and queens are buried on the grounds of the 200-year-old stone Waiola Church, one of burned sites. Lahaina draws 2 million visitors each year, or about 80 percent of the island's visitors. Fueled by a dry summer and strong winds from a passing hurricane, at least three wildfires burned on Maui this week. Maui Fire Department Chief Brad Ventura said one fire moved so fast that it was impossible to warn people of the emergency. “What we experienced was such a fast-moving fire ... they were basically self-evacuating with fairly little notice,” Ventura told the Associated Press.拉海纳曾经是卡美哈美哈国王的故乡，他将夏威夷统一为一个王国。国王和王后埋葬在拥有 200 年历史的怀奥拉石砌教堂内，该教堂是被烧毁的遗址之一。 拉海纳每年吸引 200 万游客，约占全岛游客的 80%。 由于夏季干燥和飓风过后的强风，毛伊岛本周至少发生了三场野火。 毛伊岛消防局局长布拉德·文图拉 (Brad Ventura) 表示，一场火灾蔓延速度如此之快，以至于无法向人们发出紧急情况警告。文图拉告诉美联社：“我们经历的是一场如此快速蔓延的大火……他们基本上是在几乎没有注意到的情况下自行撤离。”Thousands of visitors and locals were evacuated from the western side of Maui, which has a year-round population of about 166,000. Locals sheltered on the island or the neighboring island of Oahu. And visitors gathered in Kahului Airport, waiting for flights back home. Some people fled the immediate danger by jumping into the Pacific Ocean. Among them was Vixay Phonxaylinkham, a visitor from Fresno, California. He said his family was trapped in a car as the fires neared, forcing the family to jump in the water. They held onto pieces of wood to stay above water. "We floated around for four hours," the man told Reuters from an emergency shelter. "It was a vacation that turned into a nightmare. I heard explosions everywhere, I heard screaming, and some people didn't make it. I feel so sad," he said.毛伊岛西侧常年人口约 16.6 万，数千名游客和当地人被疏散。当地人在该岛或邻近的欧胡岛避难。游客们聚集在卡胡卢伊机场，等待回国的航班。有些人为了逃离眼前的危险而跳入太平洋。其中包括来自加利福尼亚州弗雷斯诺的游客 Vixay Phonxaylinkham。他说，随着火势逼近，他的家人被困在车里，迫使他们跳入水中。他们抓住木块以保持在水面上。 “我们漂浮了四个小时，”该男子在紧急避难所告诉路透社。 “这是一个变成噩梦的假期。我到处都听到爆炸声，听到尖叫声，有些人没能活下来。我感到很难过，”他说。Many survivors suffered burns and other injuries. "It was so hot all around me, I felt like my shirt was about to catch fire," said Nicoangelo Knickerbocker, a 21-year-old from Lahaina. Knickerbocker heard cars and a gas station explode. He fled from the town with his father and the family dog. "It sounded like a war was going on," he said. Officials said Thursday that they have contained about 80 percent of the Lahaina fire. There was no immediate estimate for others. However, experts say the fires are likely to change Hawaii in unwanted ways. They include a threat to coral reefs, drinking water, and its soil. Wildfires, often caused by record-setting heat, have become more common around the world this summer. They forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people in Greece, Spain, Portugal and other parts of Europe. In western Canada, several unusually severe fires sent clouds of smoke over a large part of the United States, polluting the air.许多幸存者遭受烧伤和其他伤害。 “我周围太热了，我感觉我的衬衫快要着火了，”来自拉海纳的 21 岁年轻人尼科安杰洛·尼克博克 (Nicoangelo Knickerbocker) 说道。尼克博克听到汽车和加油站爆炸的声音。他带着父亲和家里的狗逃离了小镇。 “听起来就像一场战争正在进行，”他说。官员周四表示，拉海纳大火已控制住约 80%。其他人无法立即做出估计。然而，专家表示，火灾可能会以意想不到的方式改变夏威夷。其中包括对珊瑚礁、饮用水及其土壤的威胁。通常由创纪录的高温引起的野火今年夏天在世界各地变得更加常见。他们迫使希腊、西班牙、葡萄牙和欧洲其他地区的数万人撤离。在加拿大西部，几场异常严重的火灾给美国大部分地区带来浓烟，污染了空气。

Robin has a personal affection for our unforgettable Woman Worth Knowing this week. During the decade that Robin lived on Maui, she saw the name “Ka'ahumanu” on a church, a shopping mall, and street signs. She began researching this extraordinary woman and found conflicting opinions over this powerful woman's influence in the Hawaiian Islands. She lived during a period of vast change. Known as “the favorite” wife of King Kamehameha the Great, Ka'ahumanu held the role of “Kuhina Nui” or Queen. After his death, she ruled supreme during the reign of two of Kamehameha's sons. The first company of New England Protestant missionaries arrived 11 months after her husband died, and by and by Ka'ahumanu put her faith in Christ alone. She was born in a cave before the arrival of Western contact, when human sacrifice was still practiced. Right before she died in 1832, she was handed the very first copy of the Hawaiian New Testament. As a result of many of her significant decisions, revival spread through the islands.

The first missionaries to arrive in the islands were from New England. 14 missionaries (seven couples) and four Hawaiian boys left Boston. They arrived in Hawaii after 164 days. While at sea, King Kamehameha the Great died, his son Liholiho became ruler, and the ancient kapu system was abolished, with no belief system to take its place. God used the missionaries to spark a revival which eventually led to 97% of Hawaiians becoming Christians.   To find out more about Pastor David and the Mokuaikaua Church please go to: www.Mokuaikaua.com   Eric Miller's 30-Day Devotional:   “Hearing God through His Creation” www.amazon.com/dp/B09CF83HLV (English)   “Escuchar a Dios a Través de Su Creación” www.amazon.com/dp/B09CGCXG5 (Spanish)   Website: www.revivalcry.org   Facebook: www.facebook.com/RevivalCryInternational/   Instagram: www.instagram.com/revivalcryinternational/   YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RevivalCryInternational   Hope Radio: www.hoperadio.net/angel5 *9.965Mhz Shortwave Radio in Asia Sunday Times: 11:30AM-12PM UTC (7:30AM-8AM EST) ReplyReply AllForwardEdit as new

The famous King Kamehameha statue in Downtown Honolulu. Did you know it was actually the second bronze statue created for the King in this location? 

Don't miss the first 2 exciting lectures!Here we discuss the events leading up to the destruction of the monarchy which the revisionists don't want you to know!The Queen attempts to get the constitution rewritten in the style of King Kamehameha the 5th's style only to be met with revolution. In 1893 she is arrested by the Republic. There is an attempt to be annexed by the U.S. but this fails in part because of the racist KKK members of the post Civil War government at the time! In the end Hawaii becomes a territory. Many of the details in this important lecture are ignored by revisionist Hawaiian history that seeks to promote a racist and degenerate system not unlike the socialist revolution taking place all across America via BLM and other groups today! A fight for Hawaii is a fight for the future of the world!

Synopsis: This is the audio version of the article I wrote entitled, King Kamehameha III and Moshiach, while I was in Hawaii earlier this summer. I found myself contemplating Hawaii's state motto, which led to a Mishleic idea, an insight about Hawaii's history, and an appreciation of King Kamehameha III's role in bringing about Yemos ha'Moshiach.----------This week's Torah content has been sponsored by Joey and Estee Lichter in honor of the marriage of Isaac and Aviva.----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!

Michelle is also the only woman, thus far, to be given the designation of “Knight Commander” of the Royal Order of Kamehameha I for her continued work in promoting, protecting, and perpetuating the Hawaiian culture through the Lua. She was inducted into the 2016 Martial Arts History Museum’s Hall of Fame for altering the course of history of martial arts. A wood weapons maker and expert, Michelle is also the guardian and keeper of the only Kaihewalu Lua exhibit, located at the Martial Arts History Museum in Burbank, California. ​Michelle toured the Midwest as a professional Polynesian Hula dancer and choreographer (1990-2004). Lua was concealed in the Hula when Queen Ka’ahumanu banned the combat art from public display (around the same time Hula was banned). Lua is believed to been around a thousand years pre-Hula, which was approximately 1750 AD. Michelle now converts the Hula into the Lua. For the everyday woman, Michelle uses the Hula, Lua, Metaphysics, and Wellness to teach self-empowerment through the Butterfly Effect program (formerly the SHE (Super Hero Experience) program). Michelle strongly believes and can show that Lua and Hula (and Lomilomi) are the same use of energy. Lua is full contact (to bind and dislocate), Lomilomi is contact (to heal), and the Hula is no contact (storytelling).

Today we celebrate the Feast Day of a gardener Abbott and an important day in the life of the Father of Taxonomy. We'll learn about the man who planted the first pineapple in Hawaii on this day in 1813 and the botanist who shared a train with a President during his honeymoon to the Santa Catalina Mountains. Today’s Unearthed Words feature garden-inspired New Year’s poetry from an artist and writer whose life has been obscured by time. We Grow That Garden Library™ with a book that is trendy and handy and all about the greenery of January - Houseplants. I'll talk about a great garden item to help your potting bench stay a little more organized, and then we’ll wrap things up with the story of the couple who discovered the winter home of our most beloved butterfly. But first, let's catch up on a few recent events.   Subscribe Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeart   Curated Articles Backyard of the Week: Woodland Garden With Scandinavian Roots @Houzz Excellent design ideas from @Houzz featuring Amy Martin Landscape Design: clean, organic lines set the tone for the sloped yard. The hardscapes act as mini retaining walls. The grade was dealt with without a single retaining wall. It is gorgeous!!!  The idea was to deal with the grade without making a highly structured terraced retaining wall,” Martin says. They regraded the yard, filling and sloping it to make navigating it easier and more comfortable.   AD100 Landscape Designer Louis Benech Infuses a Normandy Retreat with Memories of Long Island Great Post by @ArchDigest featuring Landscape Designer Louis Benech: “For me, the garden is like walking into a dream, and my dreams are memories from other countries. I am more attached to the garden than to the house.”   Now, if you'd like to check out these curated articles for yourself, you're in luck, because I share all of it with the Listener Community in the Free Facebook Group - The Daily Gardener Community. There’s no need to take notes or search for links - the next time you're on Facebook, search for Daily Gardener Community and request to join. I'd love to meet you in the group.   Important Events 827  Today is the anniversary of the death of Saint Adelard (pronounced Alard) of Corbie - a patron saint of gardeners - who died on this day in 827. Adelard was related to Charlemagne; they were first cousins. In addition to serving as the Abbott of the Abbey, Adelard was also the gardener. Today, on St. Adelard’s Feast Day, Adelard is remembered in church iconography working in his garden while his Abbott’s crown is shown resting on the ground beside him.   1735  Today Carl Linnaeus went a-courting. He briefly visited an 18-year-old woman named Sara Lisa Morraea in full Lapp costume. He returned the next day and spent the entire day with Sara Lisa and her family. By the end of the month, his friends were betting bottles of wine that there would be a baptism within the next four years. Sara Lisa was from a wealthy family. Her father was a doctor, and he agreed to allow Linnaeus to have her hand, once he had established himself. Linnaeus would return three years later. Carl Linnaeus and Sara Lisa were married on June 26, 1739. Fourteen years later, on May 1st, 1753, Linnaeus published his masterpiece Species Plantarum and changed plant taxonomy forever. Linnaeus is known as the Father of Taxonomy; his naming system is called binomial nomenclature. Binomial means "two names" which in the naming game includes the plant's genus (which is capitalized or could be abbreviated by its first letter) and species or specific epithet (which is all lowercase and can be abbreviated sp.) If you have trouble remembering taxonomy, I like to think of it as the given name and surname of a person, but in reverse order. The names that Linnaeus assigned live on unchanged and are distinguished by an “L.” after their name. And, it was Linnaeus himself who said: “God created, Linnaeus ordered.” The national flower of Sweden is the Linnaea (Linn-ee-ah) Borealis or the Twinflower; After naming over 8,000 plants, the Twin Flower was the lucky plant to which Linnaeus gave his name. And, it was Linnaeus’ favorite plant. Linnaea is the genus. Borealis is the species, and it references where it is found (Borealis means northern). As for the story of how Linnaeus named it after himself, he was persuaded to do so by a Dutch botanist - his great friend, Jan Frederik Gronovius. Twinflower belongs to the honeysuckle family. It's a sweet tiny plant, offering a faint scent of vanilla.   1813 The first pineapple was planted in the kingdom of Hawaii by the Spaniard and botanist Don Francisco de Paula Marin. The Hawaiian word for pineapple translates to "foreign fruit." By the time Marin was in his early twenties, he had already made his way to Honolulu, Hawaii. It would be his home for the rest of his life. Marin became a friend and advisor to King Kamehameha I, who consolidated all the Hawaiian Islands during his rule. Marin served in the Kamehameha Dynasty in various capacities all through his life, but he is best remembered for his work in horticulture. Two years after planting the first pineapple, Marin planted the first Hawaiian vineyard using vines of the Mission grape. And, in 1817, with the approval of King Kamehameha, Marin planted the first coffee seeds in Hawaii. Marin is remembered as Hawaii's Original Farmer.   1831 Today is the birthday of the botanist John Gill ("J.G.") Lemmon. Lemmon and his wife, Sara Plummer Lemmon, were both botanists. Although Sara partnered equally with her husband on their botanical work, their papers were always published with the credentials "J.G. Lemmon & Wife." The Lemmons had found each other late in life in California. They had both suffered individually during the Civil War. John was taken prisoner at Andersonville. He barely survived, and his health was impacted for the rest of his life. Sara had worked herself ragged. She tended wounded soldiers in New York while teaching full time. In 1881, the Lemmons took a honeymoon trip to Arizona. They called it their "botanical wedding trip." The Lemmons rode a train to Tucson along with another passenger - President Rutherford B. Hayes. When they arrived in Tuscon, the Lemmons immediately set off for the Santa Catalina Mountains. In Elliot's History of Arizona, there are some recollections of the Lemmon’s time in the mountains that illustrate their fortitude and bravery: "The Lemmons often sat on the stone porch of their cave and dug the thorns and spines out of their hands and feet." Once, they saw, " . . . a lion so large he carried a huge buck away without dragging feet or antlers." When the Lemmons returned to Tucson unsuccessful and discouraged, they were told to meet a rancher named Emerson Oliver Stratton. Thanks to Stratton, they were able to ascend the Catalinas from the backside. When they arrived at the summit, Stratton was so impressed with Sara's drive and demeanor he named the mountain in her honor - Mount Lemmon. Sara was the first woman to climb the Catalinas. Twenty-five years later, in 1905, the Lemmons returned to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. When they climbed the Catalina's in celebration, Stratton was again at their side, helping them retrace the steps of their "botanical wedding trip" to the top of Mount Lemmon.   1899 The first issue of the New England Botanical Club’s journal, Rhodora, was published. The first editor was Dr. Benjamin Robinson of Harvard University. Robinson served as an assistant to Sereno Watson and succeeded him as the curator of Gray Herbarium at Harvard University. From the Rhodora website, “Rhodora is a journal of botany devoted primarily to the flora of North America. It has been in publication continuously since 1899. This peer-reviewed quarterly comprises 400-500 pages per year. Members of the New England Botanical Club receive the journal with their annual membership.” Individual membership (in the USA & International) is $50.   Unearthed Words The artist and writer Minnie Aumônier ("o·mo·nyé") wrote some of the most beautiful verses about the garden and about ringing in the new year. Although little has been written about Minnie’s life, she was part of an artistic family. Her father, William, founded the Aumonier Studios in 1876, an architectural sculpture firm in London. Her Uncle James was a painter. Minnie wrote: "Pure as the joy a garden gives, the memory of a true friend lives. And like a garden, through the changing year is ever lovely, ever fresh and dear." and "The Old Year passes into the New, and gladness fills all the earth for the joyous awakening of bud and blossom is at hand."   Grow That Garden Library Leaf Supply by Lauren Camilleri and Sophia Kaplan The subtitle to this book is A Guide to Keeping Happy House Plants, and it came out in April of 2018. I ran across this book in a gift store over Christmas break, and I absolutely love it. The cover is gorgeous! Btw, Leaf Supply is the name of their book as well as their Sydney-based houseplant-delivery company. Leaf Supply is a beautiful, practical, and offers advice for choosing and caring for over 100 easy-to-find houseplants.   And, Lauren and Sophia recommend houseplants over giving fresh flowers as a gift. Of course, everyone loves receiving fresh flowers. But houseplants are a gift that has staying power. More than a plant guide, Lauren and Sophia give inspiring plant styling advice - choosing pots, making the most of your indoor greenery, plus advice on pet-friendly (as well as harmful) plants for your home.   Great Gifts for Gardeners Colonial Tin Works Three Bin Desk Organizer by Colonial Tin Works I got this little tin desk organizer for my potting shed, and I love it.

Brugger (“Brew-ger”) and his then-wife, Cathy Trail, discovered the first winter refuge of monarch butterflies in Mexico. Kenneth had been born in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 1918. After serving in World War II, Kenneth began working for Jockey International - the company known for making underwear. Kenneth was mechanically inclined, and he ultimately became Jockeys Chief Engineer. Kenneth was credited with many of Jockey’s innovations. He even invented a machine that minimized shrinkage in the fabric of the underwear. It was called a compactor. During the 1960s, Kenneth moved to Mexico. There, Kenneth met his future wife, Cathy. In 1972, Kenneth read an advertisement that had been placed in a Mexico City newspaper by the Canadian zoologist husband-and-wife team of Fred and Norah Urquhart (“Irk-Heart”). The Urquharts had followed the monarchs as far as Texas. Fred and Norah believed that the butterflies ended up settling somewhere in Mexico - but they needed help, which was the reason they placed their advertisement in search of citizens to help their research. Luckily, Kenneth and Cathy answered the advertisement. Kenneth was an avid amateur naturalist, and Cathy was a native Mexican. She knew the country, understood the culture and the people, and she was fluent in Spanish. Together, Kenneth and Cathy ultimately became paid assistants of the Urquharts. Finally, on this fateful day in 1975, Kenneth and Cathy completed the work began by Fred and Norah 38 years earlier when they discovered the winter home of the monarch butterfly in the mountains of Mexico. Twenty months later, in August of 1976, Kenneth and Cathy’s discovery made the cover of National Geographic magazine. The image showed a picture of Cathy - covered in monarch butterflies. She was 26 years old. In the years since the discovery, Kenneth and Cathy separated and then divorced. Cathy changed her name to Catalina and moved to Austin, Texas. She tells people, "I'm not a scientist… I'm a gardener that likes insects." Kenneth died at the age of 80 in 1998. Kenneth and Cathy’s quest was part of an IMAX movie called Flight of the Butterflies. There is one touching fact worth mentioning about Kenneth’s personal story. His Wikipedia entry says that he couldn’t fully appreciate the beauty of witnessing the monarchs at their winter home; Kenneth was colorblind.

By the time Marin was in his early twenties, he had already made his way to Honolulu, Hawaii. It would be his home for the rest of his life. Marin became a friend and advisor to King Kamehameha I, who consolidated all the Hawaiian Islands during his rule. Marin served in the Kamehameha Dynasty in various capacities all through his life, but he is best remembered for his work in horticulture. In 1813, Marin grew the first pineapple in Honolulu - the Hawaiian word for pineapple translates to "foreign fruit." Two years later, Marin planted the first Hawaiian vineyard using vines of the Mission grape. And, in 1817, with the approval of King Kamehameha, Marin planted the first coffee seeds in Hawaii.       #OTD   Today is the birthday of the man who designed Monks House garden Leonard Sidney Woolf who was born on this day in 1880. Woolf was the husband of Virginia Woolf. Leonard was the primary gardener and garden designer of Monks House - although Virginia helped him. Virginia and Leonard lived at the house from the time they first purchased it in 1919 until their deaths. The garden at Monks Hosue was a retreat and a place that they could both escape from the chaos of London. Leonard loved to be in the garden gardening. He hated tea roses and floribunda roses. But, he loved fruit trees like apple and pears, and he sold the fruits to make money. Leonard's devotion to the garden was a source of consternation for Virginia. Leonard spent so most of his time and his money on the garden. Virginia famously complained, “We are watering the earth with our money!” Leonard recorded all of his Monks House garden income and expenditures in a gorgeous dark green and pink ledger book. The first line in the book is dated August 26th, 1919, and he recorded the first gardening work performed by gardener William Dedman. Virginia described Monks House as "the pride of our hearts.’" In July of 1919, she wrote that gardening or weeding produced "a queer sort of enthusiasm which made me say this is happiness." When Virginia suffered bouts of depression, the garden at Monks House was the place she went to recover and heal. Since both Virginia and Leonard kept diaries, the garden was a frequent topic. On September 29, 1919, Virginia wrote: "A week ago, Leonard's wrist & arm broke into a rash. The Dr called it eczema. Then Mrs. Dedman brushed this aside & diagnosed sunflower poisoning. [Leonard] had been uprooting them with bare hands. We have accepted her judgment."    One of Virginia's favorite places to write was in the garden at Monks House. She had a small converted shed that she called her writing lodge. Every morning on her way to the lodge, Virginia walked through the garden. The Monks House garden was THE place where she wrote some of her most famous works. One story is often shared to illustrate Leonard's devotion to gardening. In 1939, as the second world war approached, Virginia called for him to come inside to listen to "the lunatic" Hitler on the radio. But Leonard was in the middle of tending to his Iris, and he shouted back: ”I shan’t come. I am planting iris, and they will be flowering long after he is dead.”   After Virginia's tragic suicide, Leonard wrote: "I know that V. will not come across the garden from the Lodge, and yet I look in that direction for her. I know that she is drowned, and yet I listen for her to come in at the door."   At Monks House garden, there were two Elm trees that the Woolf's had sweetly named after themselves, “Virginia and Leonard.” Leonard buried Virginia’s ashes under one of those Elms and installed a stone tablet with the last lines from her novel The Waves: “Against you, I fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, O Death! The waves crashed on the shore.”         #OTD   Today is the birthday of the Japanese-American landscape architect who designed some of the country’s best-known industrial parks, urban spaces, and campuses, Hideo Sasaki, who was born on this day in 1919. Sasaki was born in Reedley, Calif., and grew up on his family’s truck farm in the San Joaquin Valley. During WWII, Sasaki and his family suffered at an internment camp in Arizona, where Sasaki worked in beet fields.  As a very bright student, Sasaki went on to study at the University of Illinois and Harvard Graduate School of Design. Sasaki lived in the Boston area, where he taught at Harvard for more than 20 years, chairing its landscape architecture department from 1958 to 1968, and he founded his Sasaki Associates firm. By 1993, more than a third of all landscape architecture professors had been trained by Sasaki. Sasaki created industrial parks for big companies like John Deere and Upjohn. He also designed urban spaces like Boston’s Copley Square, New York’s Washington Square Village and the St. Louis Gateway Mall. In 1971, Sasaki became the first recipient of the American Society of Landscape Architects medal. Sasaki died of cancer back in August of 2000.     #OTD Today is the anniversary of the death of the plant hybridizer Rudolph Boysen who died on this day in 1950. In the 1910s and '20s, Boysen had been playing around with plant genetics. He worked on an 18-acre farm owned by John Lubbens in Napa Valley. On one June morning, Boysen took a walk along a creek bank to inspect some of his new berry creations. Boysen was astonished when he saw that one of the vines bore fruit that was almost two inches long. The fruit would become known to the world as the Boysenberry. Boysenberries are similar to blackberries but have a larger, juicier, and sweeter fruit. The Boysenberry is a cross between the loganberry, the raspberry, and the blackberry. In 1927, Boysen advertised them as "the sensation of the 20th Century."  The grower, Walter Knott, had been looking for new varieties of berries, and when he got some of Boysen's plants, he knew it was the berry he had been looking for over the past decade. Knott gave Boysen credit by naming the plant in his honor. But, Knott managed to make an empire for himself with the proceeds - establishing the world-renown Knotts Berry Farm. As for Boysen, he never earned a dime from the Boysenberry.       Unearthed Words   "The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year, Of wailing winds, and naked woods, and meadows brown and sear." - William Cullen Bryant   "She calls it "stick season," this slow disrobing of summer,  leaf by leaf, till the bores of tall trees, rattle and scrape in the wind." - Eric Pinder, Author   "November comes  And November goes,  With the last red berries  And the first white snows. With night coming early,  And dawn coming late,  And ice in the bucket  And frost by the gate. The fires burn  And the kettles sing,  And earth sinks to rest  Until next spring." - Elizabeth Coatsworth     Today's book recommendation: Orchid Modern by Marc Hachadourian Marc Hachadourian is the senior curator of the incredible orchid collection at the New York Botanical Garden, and his book Modern Orchidsis outstanding. The subtitle for the book is Living and Designing with the World’s Most Elegant Houseplants - so true, Marc. You can read for yourself in Marc's book about the history of orchids and all the different types of orchids, but most of us simply want to know the answer to one or two questions like 'how do I keep my orchids happy and healthy?' and/or 'how do I get them to rebloom?' To Marc, the answer to those questions is pretty straightforward. In general, we simply need to understand the growing conditions that orchids prefer. Marc teaches us what orchids like by asking us the following six questions: Does the location have natural sunlight? How strong is the sunlight? How long does the location, receive natural light each day? What temperatures will there be throughout the year? In the daytime? In the night? Is the air constantly dry or doesn't have some moisture And finally, how often will I water and care for the plants? If you have an orchid lover in your family, this is the book for them. It would make a lovely Christmas present. In addition to learning how to care for the orchids, you will get Marc's top picks for orchids, and he has 120 of them. And, Marc also shares some pretty amazing projects that will add to the decor of your home, including terrariums, a wreath, and a kokedama. There's also a project that teaches us to make an orchid bonsai tree that is absolutely stunning. All of Marc's crafts and projects are a level up from something you would typically see in a gardening book. Marc provides a level of sophistication and elegance with his work that I just have not seen in a garden book in some time. When I can look at a project and learn something - whether it's a new tool or new product that I can source for working with my own floral arrangements - I'm so appreciative. So, hats off to Marc for tackling a subject that most of us feel we could use more help with (orchids) and by not dumbing it down. Overall, Marc shares super-helpful pro-insights and modern options for incorporating our most beloved houseplant: orchids.       Today's Garden Chore Start sowing some microgreens for the holiday season.  There is nothing like a microgreens garden to satisfy your winter gardening needs and at that same time, growing those fresh, nutrient-dense, garden to table greens that you can grow in the comfort of your own home. For most gardeners, I think the biggest challenge with growing microgreens is learning what dishes can be enhanced with them. Btw, microgreens are just the little seedlings that pop up after you plant the seeds. So, what five microgreens will I be planting in time for Christmas?  Arugula - this is the perfect topping for your Christmas Lasagna or bruschetta — and it offers the same amount of calcium as spinach. Basil - the PERFECT addition to many tart Christmas drinks. Basil is an anti-inflammatory. Radishes - wonderful, fresh addition to salads and even stuffing. As tasty as a full-grown radish. Vitamin C + Protein. If you like radishes, you'll love radish microgreens. Cilantro - for soups and stews. Super easy to grow. Lutein and Beta-Caratein Powerhouse. Pea - excellent for garnishing any egg dish and FANTASTIC for adding to mashed potatoes. 7x Vitamin C of blueberries. Onion Sprouts - use just as you would an onion. The sprouts taste just like an onion.       Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart On this day in 1890, The San Francisco Call shared an article with this headline: Walking Clubs. Lazy People Have No Interest in the Subject. Here's an excerpt: "You may have heard of a hundred kinds of clubs, ... and you may belong half a dozen and yet have never heard of a walking club.  If so, you have missed one of the best of all. Autumn is here, and the bracing air makes you feel like exercising briskly. The leaves are turning to gold and scarlet, the nuts are nearly ripe, and the squirrels are scampering through the trees, chattering challenges with saucy eyes. Now is the time to organize walking clubs. A number of bright, boys and girls might get up such a club in an hour, No initiation, no fees. A President perhaps and maybe a Secretary to put down anything wonderful that may happen during the walks. The only business of the club will be to settle where they will walk. No constitution, no by-laws. Take any morning when it does not rain, see that your feet are shod strongly and comfortably, and walk as many miles as you can without fatigue. Hold up your head, throw your chest forward, and walk. Don't mince along or shuffle, but strike a long, swinging step from the hip joints. Have a destination. Select a farmhouse or a country inn three miles out. Manage to get there in time for dinner or supper, and after eating, rest one hour. Then come home by a different route. At night take a bath and go to bed. Take a walk once the first week, twice the second week, and keep that up for six weeks. Then walk three times a week, if the weather permits. Begin with a six-mile walk and lengthen it to ten. Keep up these walks during the autumn and winter — in fact, up to next summer. Get a number to go, and keep on enlisting new members. Seek a new route for every walk, if such a thing is possible. If not, add variety by dividing the club into two detachments, which shall meet at some previously agreed upon place to lunch. Then "swap routes" for the return trip, or return all together by a third route. There are a hundred ways of preventing monotony. Incite members to discover new points of interest and get an amateur botanist or geologist to join you. Study natural history as you walk, discuss, argue, reason, but don't quarrel. This is the way to be healthy and wise. Never mind the wealth— that will come of itself."       Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."  

They love us when we go along with what they want, but the minute the Hawaiian people say no to something, we are labeled protesters, anarchists...so we decided in 1996 to begin taking part in protecting/preserving Mauna Kea. We are Alii, and alii means servants or resource managers with a dab of holiness.

It's not often that a single person's life can reveal the dramatic social and political shifts of a community. From his youth, John Papa I'i, an important statesman and author, played a pivotal role in shaping and supporting the 19th century Kingdom of Hawai'i In Facing the Spears of Change: The Life and Legacy of John Papa I'i (University Of Hawai'i Press, 2016), Marie Alohalani Brown, Assistant Professor of Religion at University of Hawai'i at Manoa, carefully traces the contours of his biography with nuance and beauty. The book is rich with detail and one of the few histories to put the vast corpus of Hawaiian language sources to use in understanding the island's past. John Papa I'i's life also serves as a rewarding vantage point for thinking about Hawaiian religion during the early years of the Kingdom of Hawai'i, and the expanding influence of Christianity. In our conversation we discussed genres of life writing, challenges of reframing Hawaiian modes of thinking into western academic categories, Christian conversion, John Papa I'i's s upbringing, the importance of family genealogy, the Laplace affair, King Kamehameha and his descendants, Hawaiian language sources, elder years and productive retirement, and John Papa I'i's importance for Hawaiians today.

It’s not often that a single person’s life can reveal the dramatic social and political shifts of a community. From his youth, John Papa I’i, an important statesman and author, played a pivotal role in shaping and supporting the 19th century Kingdom of Hawai’i In Facing the Spears of Change: The Life and Legacy of John Papa I’i (University Of Hawai’i Press, 2016), Marie Alohalani Brown, Assistant Professor of Religion at University of Hawai’i at Manoa, carefully traces the contours of his biography with nuance and beauty. The book is rich with detail and one of the few histories to put the vast corpus of Hawaiian language sources to use in understanding the island’s past. John Papa I’i’s life also serves as a rewarding vantage point for thinking about Hawaiian religion during the early years of the Kingdom of Hawai’i, and the expanding influence of Christianity. In our conversation we discussed genres of life writing, challenges of reframing Hawaiian modes of thinking into western academic categories, Christian conversion, John Papa I’i’s s upbringing, the importance of family genealogy, the Laplace affair, King Kamehameha and his descendants, Hawaiian language sources, elder years and productive retirement, and John Papa I’i’s importance for Hawaiians today.

How do you want the public to see this art? "I love the process of Discovery." Glenn Wharton, Clinical Associate Professor of Museum Studies at New York University sat with Mark and Patrick to talk about art, new media, community, and conservation. "How do you want the public to see this art?" Is one of the primary questions Glenn would ask artists during an interview process when he's documenting the art, how it's to be displayed or portrayed. This discussion and the resulting threads that cover Glenn's career in art conservation are fascinating for sure. This wide-ranging conversation covered a lot of ground including: • The definition of a 'clinical associate professor.' • Glenn's a UCBS Gaucho! • How and when he fell in love with the conservation of art (Mt Calvary monk in Santa Barbara) • Volunteering at the Getty • Replication vs. Restoration • A sidebar conversation about his work on the King Kamehameha statue in Hawaii and how that work spurred a complete change in how he approached art and his career • Art values vs. Community values - intersection • What is Community-based Art and why is it so fascinating • What is Participatory Art • Note: Patrick, remember, is an Art Professor and this was a conversation that could have gone on for several hours. He threatened to mute my mike so they could chat ;-) • His work at MOMA and the field of time-based media • Mark brought up the discussion of the preservation of Digital Art (think Wavefront and animation). Glenn was the first Time-Based Conservator in the United States. This was before it was even a field of study. He currently is one of the top experts in the world. • An in-depth talk about the interaction between the museum and the artist with several amusing anecdotes (wait until you hear the one about Tino Sehgal) • The Variable Media Initiative While we enjoy every conversation, there are times when a true pioneer joins us in the studio. Glenn is one, and we sincerely appreciate the time he spent with us. We had a bit of a post-interview conversation about the role of 805conversations, we speak mostly about business, and in this instance felt that are focused entirely on cultural issues was importnat. We hope you agree.

Hello history friends and welcome back to rememberinghistory.com where we are remembering history and we’re making history too.   So, today is the last part of this great and groundbreaking series on fun and easy ways to be inspired by history. Wow, we have covered a lot of ground during this series.   We started with the decision to read, read, and read some more. I think that I almost lost some of you with that first step.  Yes, I love to read but I think that you imagined that I stayed up in the wee hours of the night to read a 1,000-page history textbook (written in a tiny font). Wrong!  While I appreciate the role of textbooks in education, I don’t take the view that they are teaching history. Instead, they are presenting names, dates and events instead of telling a story. That’s what history is to me: a collection of stories—about people.  The names, dates, and events are incidental. The people are the main characters; they make the story. And the story makes history.  Remember, David McCullough (my favorite historian) noted that history has to be literature or it will turn to dust. He also noted that piano teachers often complain to their students, “I hear all the notes but I hear no music.”  There has to be music. Bring it all together and make music. Just imagine, we’re talking about history as literature, history as music. This is radical stuff here—but it is real and truthful and, dare I say, inspirational too. Remember, too, that biographies and narratives (like the slave narratives that I mentioned and read an excerpt from) can be uncommonly gripping and moving—and yes, they will inspire you right out of your chair!   In Part II, we focused on movies and documentaries.  The movies are basically books (non-fiction novels if you will) on the big screen.  For people who don’t like to read or don’t have time to read, movies are a great way to be inspired by history. Many movies tell the story about an actual event or person from the past. I mentioned lots of movies but that was just the tip of the iceberg. You can easily find great historical movies and be inspired by the people and their stories.  Many other movies are based on books about real events in history and these can be equally inspirational. And I never want to forget or overlook the documentaries (like the ones that I mentioned about Thurgood Marshall—And Justice for All and With All Deliberate Speed) that showed the life, struggles and victories of this great great man. Trust me on this one—documentaries are amazing works, well-researched and well presented, and they can inspire you in ways that fictionalized works can not.   In the third part, we moved away from books and movies to consider getting history right from the people who were there.  (I failed to add that actually books and movies can supplement this method.) Talk to your elders. Many people who participated in Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam War, the Invasion of Normandy, and other great historical events are still alive. They are still able to tell their stories. Let’s listen to them. Let’s hear their experiences. Let’s ask them questions. And, most importantly, let’s remember their stories and remember them. They were part of history. They made history. They actually are history. There is nothing so moving as listening to the stories of people who were at historical events that I have only read about. But don’t wait—no one came to stay—so talk to and listen to the elders and get the “real” story. The real history.   Part IV was a lot of fun because we talked about actually visiting great historic sites.  Books and movies are great. Talking to people who were at these historic events is incredible. But actually visiting the sites, seeing the place, really brings it all to life.    Nothing beats actually standing in an historic place and immersing yourself in it. It opens up the senses in ways that might be impossible to describe.  Personally, I will never forget my experience visiting a slave home at George Washington’s plantation or the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland or temple of King Kamehameha in Hawaii. Nothing can describe them fully. You gotta be there.    That led us to Part V because sometimes you simply cannot be there. So, what do you do? Go to museums.  No it is not the same thing but many museums are designed to give you that “being there” experience. They are also designed to help you to understand the situation, the person, the problem and the culture.  Going to museums, libraries and exhibits are an amazingly inspirational way to experience history.   Remember my “go to” museum was the British Museum in London. What is your “go to” museum?    All of these ways to be inspired by history can work so well together. I hope that you don’t choose just one but try to combine them so that you get a more full experience and a more inspirational experience.   This brings us to Part VI of this great and groundbreaking series on 6 fun and easy ways to be inspired by history.  I saved this particular way for last because it is probably the most dramatic.  I gave a hint in the previous podcast that this way is the most fun but also the hardest to do.  So, what is it?   Attend an historical Reenactments!   What is an historical reenactment?   Great question. I love great questions!   A historical reenactment is when people reenact history. It could be an historical event (like a battle), a time period (like the Middle Ages), a person or group of people from history (like the Buffalo soldiers) or engage in a certain behavior, sport or activity from the past (like jousting or sword fighting). It is a huge amount of fun!   This is when things get really exciting—and sometimes just a bit weird!  History re-enactments bring history to life in an amazing way. The historical setting is recreated. People dress up in clothes from the period. They basically turn into actors and immerse themselves in the reenactment.  In general, the event is replayed.    What kinds of things are reenacted? It could be anything. I recently attended a medieval festival in Gdansk, Poland at Castle Malbork  (which is a teutonic castle from the 1400s) where there was jousting, sword fights, archery and other types of combat. But they also had the medieval food and beer (much stronger than beer today!)  Everyone was dressed up in period clothes and talked the “medieval” talk! It was amazing. And lots of fun.   I also attended a re-enactment of the Battle of Waterloo, which was fought in 1815. It was equally incredible. Yes, Napoleon was there as well as Wellington—I saw them or the actors that played them—and there must have been hundreds of people dressed as soldiers to re-enact the famous battle.    Perhaps you have heard of or attended the Renaissance Pleasure Faire—well, that’s a mild (but great) example of an historical re-enactment.       If you want to see, feel and experience an historical event, time period or see a person or group of people from history, then I strongly urge you to attend a re-enactment. Or even go to the event as a re-enactor. Many people do this in their free time. I met one medieval sword fighter who worked as an account during they day. Lots of fun. And, yes, it is so inspirational to see how events unfolded and to be a part of it.  I recently learned that the Buffalo Soldiers Museum is planning re-enactments. Sure to be an exciting and educational event. Just go and have fun!  Remember that it does not have to be a reenactment of your history, it can be a reenactment of any time period, person or battle.   So, that’s all I’m gonna say about historical re-enactments. They are so much fun and so inspirational and the people involved are so open and really just love history. Everyone is welcome.   Of course, I have to return to David McCullough’s quote that “No harm is done to history by making it something that someone would want to read.” The same applies for history re-enactments: No harm is done to history by making it something that someone would want to experience. Or live. Or act.”  History is pretty tough.  If your intention is right and you like and respect history, then the risk is small that you are going to harm it.   Sadly, this wraps up the final part of the great and groundbreaking series on fun and easy ways to be inspired by history.  But I do want to respond to a few questions. Remember that I mentioned a Q & A period.         1.   These are great ways to be inspired by history. I am new to learning history. What is the best way to start?   Thanks for your question. I always think of taking baby steps into something new.  I’m glad that you have found an interest in history but I don’t want to go too hardcore at the beginning or to make you wait and lose interest.  What way to start? Movies and documentaries.  Everyone has experience with movies perhaps less with documentaries. But watching great movies about history is an easy, affordable and fun way to be introduced to and inspired by history.  But if you do want to go hardcore, then an historical re-enactment is a lot of fun and is truly a life-changing event.   2.   How do I get my kids interested in history?   Another great question!  Too often, kids are first introduced to history in school where they are forced to memorize names of presidents and dates of battles. Boring! If your kids like to read, then find an age-appropriate book (there are lots of them) for your child. If your child is very young, read it to them. You can even act it out to really bring it to life for them. Another idea is to ask your parents or grandparents if they would tell stories to your children about historical events or people from history.  The elders can be great story tellers and tend to have more credibility and interest from their grandchildren.   Once you get that history ball rolling, the momentum will continue to grow so I’m glad that you are taking this important step.   3.   I have found a lot of false statements in some history books. I don’t know if they are just mistaken or whether they are just lying but it put me off history for a long time. How do I deal with this feeling?     I completely understand your disillusionment with reading history books. Yes, there are myths, mistruths and downright lies in some history textbooks. Other times there are just “holes” or omissions. That can be frustrating and definitely lead to feelings of disillusionment.  And, as I said, I completely understand. And I’ve been there.  So, what do you do?  I firmly believe that we should not run away from this type of mis-education. In fact, we should face it head on and demand changes.  Write to the editor, point out the problem and demand that it be fixed. Write articles or letters to newspapers and other publications about the wrong information. Most importantly, keep educating yourself. Keep learning history; the “right” history. Attacking it from the inside, I believe, has more power than being on the outside. Announce those mistakes and dis-information. Start teaching the true facts. Tell your children about history. While history is tough (as I said earlier), it does need our protection to make sure that it stays true and that it continues to inspire. Real inspiration is never found in falsehood.    I’m so sorry that I cannot address more questions! They were so good and so important And there are many more that need and deserve my attention. But this wiki podcast is getting long.  Wiki is Hawaiian for quick and I’m afraid that we’re are no longer so wiki right now.   I hope that you have enjoyed this great and groundbreaking series on fun and easy ways to be inspired by history. I hope that you have found ways that will help you. And most of all, I hope that you will be—and are—inspired by history.  It has been my pleasure to host this important series and I do hope that you will return for more remembering history podcasts.       I would love to hear your comments so please go to the Remembering History Facebook page or to the remememberinghistory.com website where you can also ask questions. I promise to answer. You will find a great group of fun and friendly historians at rememberinghistory.com and on the Remembering History Facebook page.  And remember that you can find these podcasts at Stitcher.com which is radio on demand.  You can also download the app from the app store. Just sit back and enjoy.   So, I hope to see you soon at remembeinghistory.com where we are remembering history and we’re making history.   Bye for now!
