Ko makou Kaiāulu: Steve Price | Chapel Hill Sheena
Ua hōʻike ʻia he mau makahiki o ka lawelawe kaiāulu iā Steve Price ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻoemi i ka ʻuhane o Chapel Hill.
I ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ka ua, ua manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo Steve Price ʻo nā mea manawaleʻa āna i hōʻuluʻulu ai e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka ulu nui o ka kudzu a puni ʻo Chapel Hill e kapa ʻia he lā. Akā me he mea lā ma hope o nā makahiki he ʻumi o ka lawelawe ʻana ma Chapel Hill, aia nō nā mea kupanaha iā ia.
"Ua hōʻole lākou e haʻalele a hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ka wahi," wahi a Price. "ʻOiai ua ua a pōʻino, makemake lākou e hana."
He nui ka ʻōlelo e pili ana i ke kaiāulu Chapel Hill, akā pili pū kekahi i ke kumukūʻai.
Ua noho ʻo Steve Price ma ʻaneʻi mai ka makahiki 1983, hana ʻo ia no UNC-TV, lawelawe ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he kuhina ʻōpio o kāna halepule, ua noho ʻo ia ma ke Kōmike Pāka a me nā Leʻaleʻa o ke kūlanakauhale no ʻehiku mau makahiki, a ke hoʻomau nei i kēia manawa i ka lawelawe ʻana i nā hana aʻoaʻo like ʻole. ʻAʻole naʻe ʻo ia i noho ma ʻaneʻi e like me ia.
He puka puka o UNC-Chapel Hill me ke kēkelē ma ka lekiō, televise a me ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni, ua hana ʻo Price ma UNC-TV no 30 mau makahiki e kākau ana i ke kaiāulu. Ua ulu kāna hana e haʻi ana i nā moʻolelo kūloko i kona makemake e hoʻomaikaʻi i ke kūlanakauhale āna i aloha ai.
"Makemake ʻoe e hoʻomaikaʻi i ke kaiāulu no ʻoe iho a me nā poʻe a puni ʻoe," wahi a Price.
ʻO ka papahana hou loa a Price, ʻo ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe kudzu, ʻo ia kekahi i lawe ʻia mai ke Kōmike Laau Kaiāulu a hui pū me UNC-Chapel Hill a me ka papahana Adopt-A-Trail. Ua ʻike ʻo Price i kāna pīhoihoi mua o ka lā, ma hope o ka hoʻonohonoho hou ʻana i hoʻokahi manawa ma muli o ka ua, ua ʻike ka papahana i ka nui o ka poʻe mai nā wahi a pau o ke kūlanakauhale.
"He ʻāpana pupule ia o ke kaiāulu," wahi a Price. Ua ʻike ʻo ia ua ʻike ʻo ia i nā kānaka mai nā ʻano like ʻole o ke ola, me nā haumāna a me nā poʻe ʻelemakule. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, ʻo ka lokahi o nā mea a pau, ʻoiai i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ka ua.
"ʻO kēia kekahi o nā papahana lawelawe kupanaha loa aʻu i hana ai," wahi a Price. "He leʻaleʻa a hauʻoli nui nā kānaka i kā lākou hana."
A hoʻomau lākou i ka hana ʻoiai hiki ʻole ke kū. I kona ʻike ʻana i kāna hui e paheʻe ana a paheʻe i ka lilo ʻana o ka lepo i lepo, pono ʻo Price e kāhea iā ia he lā no ka mea ʻaʻohe mea makemake e hoʻōki.
No Price, ʻo ka hoʻomanawanui hui āna i ʻike ai i kēlā lā e hōʻike ana i ke kumu o kona aloha iā Chapel Hill.
"I ka wā e hoʻomaka ai kekahi kanaka, he mea kupanaha ka hui ʻana o ka poʻe i ke kumu," wahi a Price. "ʻO kēia ka mea e ʻokoʻa a nani hoʻi ke kaiāulu Chapel Hill."
A ʻoiai he haʻahaʻa paha ʻo ia i ka wā e nīnau ʻia ai, ʻo Price ka mea i hui pū ʻia e nā poʻe ʻē aʻe ʻoiai ʻo ia e kākoʻo nei i ke kūlanakauhale maikaʻi a me ka honua maikaʻi aʻe.
ʻO ka nui o nā papahana a Price, e like me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe kudzu a me kāna hoʻomaʻemaʻe alanui i kēlā me kēia hapaha ma ke alaloa 86, ke nānā aku nei i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i Chapel Hill, akā hoʻolilo ʻo ia i ka manawa mālama i ka poʻe o kona kūlanakauhale hānau. I kēia makahiki, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo ia i ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā meaʻai Hoʻomaikaʻi i ka hale ʻaina Interfaith Council ma kāna hale pule, kahi e alakaʻi mau ai ʻo ia i nā mea manawaleʻa e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka lumi kuke. Hoʻolālā pū ʻo ia i nā hanana i kēlā me kēia pule no ka poʻe ʻōpio, a ʻo ʻOkakopa i hala aku nei ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i kekahi mau hola i ka hana ʻana i kahi ala haunted i ʻoi aku ma mua o nā manaʻo āpau.
"ʻIke wau e like me ka hāʻawi ʻana i kēia kaiāulu i hāʻawi nui iaʻu," wahi a Price.
Ke ʻimi nei ʻo ia i nā ala mamao e hoʻomau i ka hui pū ʻana i kēlā mau hui nui e kākoʻo ana i kāna mau papahana. Ma ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe kudzu, ua hoʻolaha ʻia nā mea a pau i nā hui liʻiliʻi, a maopopo ʻaʻole lākou e ʻae i kekahi mea e kāohi iā lākou. I ka wā e hiki mai ana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Price i ka hāʻawi manawaleʻa ʻana i nā ʻohana i hiki iā lākou ke hana ma ke ʻano he hui mamao.
ʻO kēlā me kēia hihia, ʻaʻole hauʻoli wale ʻo Price i ka hoʻi ʻana i ke aloha - ʻaʻole ʻo ia i kū no kekona. Ua ʻike ʻo Price he hoʻokahi wale nō kanaka, hoʻokahi leo, a hui pū nā mea a pau e kākoʻo i kēia wahi kūʻokoʻa a nani hoʻi āna e haʻaheo ai e kāhea i ka home.
A manaʻo mākou e kamaʻilio mākou no kēlā me kēia ke ʻōlelo mākou he haʻaheo mākou i ka loaʻa ʻana o Steve ko mākou hoalauna.
Hoʻi i nā kumuwaiwai
