Hauoli Makahiki Hou (Happy New Years) to everyone. This is the way to say it in Hawaiian. I'd also like to wish you Kung Hee Fat Choy, which is Happy New Year's in Chinese although Chinese New Year does not begin until February 4th or 5th.

We did not have any Y2K problems here in Hawaii and everything worked smoothly. We do have a controversy now over the fireworks.

Here on Oahu, it is legal to burn firecrackers but not aerial fireworks. Many aerials were brought in illegally and although the police confiscated and arrested a few people, there were thousands of aerials being used. One man was killed when the aerial he lit exploded in the casing he made to hold it, instead of shooting up into the air. There were also several problems for the fire department. Many citizens were upset because of the huge quantity of smoke which remained since the breeze was very light. Here in Kailua, many dead birds were found along Kailua Beach and this is
being blamed on the fireworks. The legislature is looking into whether to ban fireworks completely.

We hope you enjoy the rest of your school year. Please send out a short greeting to all the other members of this group if you have not done so. Thank you for participating in our project. We really enjoyed finding out what others were doing for the millennium. If we can help you with any other projects that you may have or answer any questions, please let us know.

Mahalo (Thank you), Patricia Kubo and students at Kailua Elementary School
