A temporary cell tower is
erected directly across
the street from the former
Keauhou Beach Hotel.

a one-bar signal when he’s
lucky, can’t make calls indoors,
misses and drops calls. Before
the loss of the tower, it was
common to have three or four
bars.
“Cell service is so taken for
granted, a lot of people have
gotten rid of their landlines,”
Collins said. “It’s an annoyance to me, but it could be
life-threatening to others. The
thing of it is, you have older
people here and it’s a lifeline
for them.”
By contrast, AT&T seems
to function adequately in the
area, several residents said.

Club Villas resident Cliff
Ahrens. “You can even be in

Collins said the cellular
giant has known for years
that the hotel site would
become unavailable and
should have planned better.
But Heidi Flato, a Verizon
spokeswoman, said the company has been working to
relocate the cell site for some
time.
“Unfortunately,
network coverage and capacity
enabled by our cell on wheels
are limited due to the location and antenna height,” said
Flato from California in an
email. “We apologize for the
inconvenience our customers
may experience. We continue
to monitor the performance
of our COW and are working
to improve service until we
secure a location for the new

When Steve Collins was on

to a reporter about cell coverage in Keauhou, the call was
dropped twice.
That’s just how it’s been for
Verizon customers in makai
areas of Keauhou over the
past few weeks, following the
decommissioning of a tower
on the Keauhou Beach Hotel.
Kamehameha Schools officials
are planning on demolishing
the building, and Verizon has
placed a mobile tower across
the street.
But that weaker, temporary
signal has only left surrounding residents frustrated.

A vice principal with a penchant for outrigger canoe paddling has taken the steersman
position at Waimea Middle
School.
Amy Kendziorski spent two
years as vice principal at Waimea,
and before that was a teacher
at Waianae High School, where
her love of paddling began. Now
a regular at the Kawaihae Canoe
Club, the 25-year veteran of the
public school system took over
the top post at the public conversion charter school during
spring break. She plans to bring
the paddler’s ethic of teamwork
to the job of overseeing 300
students.
Kendziorski

year, boost student achievement, build the
school’s financial resources and
further parent and community relationships during her
appointment as interim principal to last through the next
school year.
Former Principal Matt Horne
left the helm with plans to move
with his family off island. He
had been at the post for three
years.
Kendziorski has a master’s
degree in educational leadership from San Diego State
University. During 13 years
in Colorado’s Durango School
District, she was in charge of
special and alternative education, health, safety and discipline for a 4,500-student district with 11 schools and a juvenile detention school.
The interim principal said
she is committed to bringing
all students equal opportunity
to achieve instead of segregating them into different environments based on language or
ability. She spent five years as
principal at Durango’s Escalante
Middle School, where she spearheaded federally mandated
“inclusion” practices designed
to ensure that all students were
learning in equal, integrated
environments.
“All children deserve high

his is it for David Letterman. After more than three decades on
late-night TV and more than 6,000
late-night broadcasts on his resumé,
the legendary talk show host is signing off for good. Don’t miss the final
episode of “The Late Show with David Letterman” when it airs Wednesday, May 20, on CBS.
It all started in February 1982. Sort
of. At least, that’s when Letterman’s
late-night hosting career started. His
actual journey to after-hours comedy
started years earlier, after watching
the late Paul Dixon’s daily TV show.
“Without exaggeration, I was just
out of college (in 1969), and I really
And then, all of a sudden, I saw him
doing it (on TV),” Letterman said in
a 1997 interview with “The Cincinnati Enquirer.” “And I thought: ‘That’s
really what I want to do!’”
And do it he did. Starting out humbly as an anchor and weatherman
on an Indianapolis TV station,
Letterman quickly became known
for his quirky and unpredictable onair antics — reporting on weather
for fictitious towns, congratulating a
tropical storm for being upgraded to
a hurricane, and reporting that a
state border had been wiped out, to
name a few. He moved to Los Angeles in 1975, hoping to land a gig as a
comedy writer, and found himself

Flash forward a few years — and
quite a few writing and starring
roles — and Letterman’s star had
risen exponentially. He’d caught
the eyes of scouts for Carson’s “The
Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” and very quickly developed a
lasting relationship with the King of
Late Night, becoming a regular
guest as well as guest host on the
iconic show. He soon landed his
own hosting gig, a morning comedy
show on NBC, and while the nature
of his hosting duties have since
changed, the rest — as they say —
is history.

Insert and Shipping/Receiving
SPECIFICATIONS AND DEADLINES
Sunday inserts should be sent to the West Hawaii Today
Printing Facility.
1.
FSI Specifications:
West Hawaii Today uses a 44” web width for all printed products.
Insert pallets should be clearly labeled with the product name,
total quantity, amount per skid or box, the total amount of skids
and the insertion date.
Inserts
Width: Measured along the spine
2.
If inserts are re-packaged, they should be re-packaged in the
original form sent by the printer (same number of pallets, same
amount on pallet, same number in a bundle, etc.)
Minimum
Maximum

11”
Height: Measured perpendicular to spine
Minimum
Maximum

running multiple dates, then it should be separated as such.
Pagination: Broadsheet
Minimum
Maximum
4 pages
96 pages
Pagination: Tabloid
4.
Inserts need to be at least .005” thick. Thinner sheets will often
stick together causing “multiples.”

5.
Different inserts should NEVER be packaged on the same pallet.
Verifying the count may be extremely difficult without removing
all the bundles or boxes.
6.
Insert bundles should not be tied (strapped) if possible. Strapping
causes the product to curl and can make it difficult to feed into
the insert machine.
7.
No more than two turns (compensating stacks) per bundle would
be optimum. Additional turns make it more difficult for the
inserter to feed the machine.
8.
Inserts should be stacked flat and not standing on edge.
9.
Deadlines
a. Insertion orders due 21 business days prior to publication.
b. Inserts due 14 business days prior to publication.

Additional Notes:
Offset stock can have a different thickness than glossy stock for the
same paper weight. Color Express inserts are usually printed on 60#

(or enamel) stock is only .003” of an inch – a huge difference (50%).

inserts delivered after deadline will be assessed at $1,500 late fee per
publication, if inserts are delivered after the agreed extension date, a
