HONOLULU—The 20th Annual Oahu Division Fishing Tournament was held August 23-24, 2014. The 36 anglers caught close to 35 pounds of fish. Participants included eleven children in the Keiki Division—nearly twice as many as last year.

The tournament is about more than just bringing in and seeing the big fish. Many of the participants are there to celebrate family and see friends. Oahu Division Business Agent/State Sports Coordinator Brian Tanaka said, “This tournament is about the children and the family.”

Have you ever heard the statement, “My vote won’t count”? The person who says this thinks their voice won’t be heard. 

ut let’s face it—the only time your vote doesn’t count is when you don’t use it.

When you are in the voting booth, you are as powerful as the General Manager at the Grand Wailea, or the CEO of Servco Pacific, or the owner of Foodland Super Market. You have just as much of a say as the Governor of the State of Hawaii.
