the month of May. As a former New Yorker, Ms. Roman sees paradise through
captivatingly different eyes. Her works range in size from the panoramic 8 x 39

BARBARA
“HOPPY” SMITH HONORED BY WINDWARD ROTARY CLUB
Mrs. Roberta “Byrde” Cestare, President of the Rotary Club of Windward
Oahu announced that Mrs. Barbara “Hoppy” Smith had been selected as this
year’s recipient of the “Service Above Self” award for her untiring
volunteer activities. This award is given annually to a non-Rotarian Windward
resident whose volunteerism has improved the quality of life for the Windward
community.At a Mid-Pacific Country Club banquet on April 26th. attended by over
200 friends and neighbors, Hoppy was honored for over thirty years of working
with Windward youth by coaching soccer, paddlers of the Lanikai Canoe Club, and
volunteering in the local schools.
Her work while a member of the Lanikai Association Board was instrumental in
preventing development of conservation land in Lanikai, thus averting
residential development on the ridge.
Other activities include but are not limited to: Hawaii Theatre, Hawaii
Printmakers, Honolulu Academy of Arts, and extensive volunteer activities with
American Cancer Society. This writer has personally witnessed her energy with
The Lanikai Mortgage Players, The Lanikai Craft Faire, the Lanikai Canoe Club

Look for the Lanikai Dog Show coming this summer. A canine benefit for the

LETTER TO THE
EDITOR:
Nighttime patrons of Lanikai Beach continue to engage in LATE NIGHT drinking,
excessive noise, litter, obnoxious car stereo volume and disturbances which
plague Lanikai residents, particularly those who live alongside beach
accesses.
Since the monitoring of Kailua Boat Ramp and Kailua Beach Park, the party has
moved to Lanikai where there is little police interference.
Unfortunately the police response that does occur is not aggressive enough to
deter the offenders from repeating this behavior.
Discussion occurred at the recent Board concerning possible solutions to this
problem:
· Signs at accesses regarding behavior
· Restrict parking in these areas during the evening
· Restrict access to the Beach during nighttime hours at Association-owned
rights-of-way.
I would appreciate community input on these or other solutions. A good night’s
sleep for my family and myself is becoming an infrequent
privilege.
Sincerely, Robert Clancey
