Moʻolelo:
Abigail Kawananakoa says she is “very fine” and capable of conducting her own business in a video released Thursday by her attorneys.
During the eight-minute, edited interview, the 92-year-old Campbell Estate heiress also says she has an obligation to the Hawaiian people but that her hands are tied.
Kawananakoa and her wife, Veronica Gail Worth, are fighting in court to regain control of the heiress’s $215 million estate after a Probate Court judge ruled she lacks mental capacity following her stroke in 2017.
ADVERTISING
In November Kawananakoa changed her trust to ensure her wife receives $40 million and all her personal property and real estate, but the amendment must still win the approval of Judge R. Mark Browning.
Kawananakoa’s communications representative, Kitty Yannone from CommPac, said Kawananakoa felt strongly about communicating to the people in her own words.
Yannone said the interview with television personality Tannya Joaquin was “unvarnished and unrehearsed.”
But former Kawananakoa attorney James Wright, who currently remains successor trustee of her trust and continues to battle in court, said he heard the interview was staged, scripted and coached. It was also heavily edited, he said.
“My heart aches to see Miss K in this hostage video,” he said. “Miss Worth’s ransom is all of the money — including the money (Kawananakoa earmarked) for the Hawaiian community.”
During the interview, Kawananakoa said she was grateful “to talk to the people and let them see how well I am and able to conduct my business, which is vast. I have very capable people that take care of certain aspects of it, and I control all of it and make sure that they report to me in an appropriate and timely manner.”
Asked what she wanted to talk about, the woman responded by quoting William Shakespeare.
“There are so many things I could discuss,” she said. “But, you know, the lady doth protest too much. I’d rather not.”
Still, she said, she believed the truth will come out.
Kawananakoa went on to lavish praise on her wife: “If it wasn’t for Gail, I would not be as normal as you would see now. She’s done everything for me. She still has to do things for me, like help me to the car and when I walk down, I need help with the wheelchair.”
Kawananakoa added that Worth knows to steer clear of her obligation to the Hawaiian people.
“She doesn’t interfere with the Hawaiian bit. She knows better, because it’s not her kuleana and she knows that. That’s why I love her so much. Her kuleana is to take care of me,” she said.
At least $100 million in Kawananakoa’s trust is earmarked for the Abigail K.K. Kawananakoa Foundation, a charity to fund Native Hawaiian causes following her death. Wright and others say they are working to protect those funds from being scooped up by Worth.
But Kawananakoa said “the alii must do the right thing” and that “we’ll always help the Hawaiian people.”
Browning’s September ruling on Kawananakoa’s capacity followed the medical evaluation of a court-hired California psychiatrist who concluded the heiress doesn’t have the mental capacity to manage her own financial affairs as a result of the stroke.
Two experts hired by Worth’s attorney, Michael Rudy, evaluated Kawananakoa and declared her mentally fit.
As for the video, Wright said he was told by “insiders” that Kawananakoa was being rehearsed for the video, and “it showed in her rote responses.”
The rehearsing would be consistent with prior actions by Worth and her attorneys, he said. Probate court documents, including one filed by then-Senior Deputy Attorney General Hugh Jones, point to the alleged prepping of Kawananakoa for mental examinations on two separate occasions.
Wright said one of the insiders also told him the production was part of a media campaign to make Kawana- nakoa appear mentally sound and to pressure the judge into changing his mind on the competence issue.
“This is a 92-year-old human being whose dignity has been taken by her post-stroke spouse,” he said.
Wright called the production “exploitative, abusive and shallow.”
Attorneys for Worth and Kawananakoa have declined to comment about the case, citing the court’s order against talking to the press. In court they’ve been arguing that the heiress is in good mental health.

An informational meeting on a proposed spaceport on W.H. Shipman land wasn’t set up as a public hearing.

But opponents of the Alaska Aerospace Corp. project didn’t let that stop them from speaking out.

The well-attended open house held Wednesday evening at the Grand Naniloa Hotel, part of the environmental assessment process, was punctuated at times by chants of “roads not rockets” and “no space pork.”
Some performed a protest song with an ukulele and circulated around different displays with a microphone and amplifier in hand, seeking to put project representatives on the spot.
Aside from colorful protests, there was no shortage of critics at the meeting, which was set up to respond to questions and take written comments for the EA.
Haawina Wise of Keaau was one of several opponents who passionately expressed their concerns with Peggy Farias, CEO of Shipman. They asked her not to allow the project to move forward.
“I’m just hurt and baffled,” Wise said afterward. “We are not going to let this happen.”
Farias has said Shipman hasn’t made a decision yet about whether to host the spaceport. She said they have to consider ideas that come along.
At one point, Kealoha Pisciotta, one of the main figures in the legal battles around the Thirty Meter Telescope, stepped in to help calm the situation as Farias appeared overwhelmed by the crowd. She urged them to follow “kapu aloha.”
“That’s our power,” Pisciotta said. “We can help them do better.”
Concerns included noise and air pollution, along with safety.
“I moved here to have quiet,” said Hope Henry of Hawaiian Paradise Park.
Rodrigo Romo, program manager for the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems, a project facilitator, said 90 people signed in at the meeting. But he estimated several hundred showed up.
A draft EA could be complete in three to six months, followed by a public meeting on its findings. Comments can be emailed until March 6 to PSCH.EA.Project@kfs-llc.com.
Romo, who attended the meeting to answer questions, said he spoke with more supporters than he anticipated.
“The purpose was to provide the public with enough information, factual information, of the site so they can now make an informed decision,” he said. “I came across more people than anti, with a positive or open-minded attitude.”
Romo said there were a couple of “very unpleasant moments,” including one exchange that resulted in an electrical engineering student, who was present to talk about the project, being brought to tears.
“Her father had to jump in to intervene,” he said. “It was too emotional for her.”
Romo said some of the opponents hugged her afterward.
The spaceport would sit on a 12.5-acre site and be used to launch small satellites into low orbit. Rockets would be between 40 and 60 feet tall. Two launch pads would be built, one 20 feet by 20 feet, the other 20 feet by 60 feet in size. The proposed location is between the Mauna Loa macadamia nut farm and the ocean, 4.5 miles from Keaau, 3.3 miles from the Panaewa agriculture lots, and 1.7 miles from Haena beach, also known as Shipman beach.
The project requires approval from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The state of Alaska formed the Alaska Aerospace Corp. in 1991 as a public corporation to promote the state’s aerospace industry. It operates one launch site on Kodiak Island in Alaska.
Mark Lester, Alaska Aerospace president, said the interest in East Hawaii is to provide equatorial launches for companies that build small satellites. As for how a Hawaii site fits in with its charter, he said their commercial customers have needs for both locations.
The organization has estimated that 24 launches a year would occur.
Lester said that’s based on what would make the project economical. A launch limit would be set with the help of the EA.
He said the site can’t expand without going through another public review process.
Small satellite manufacturers are looking to small rockets as a more affordable alternative to hitching rides on larger delivery vehicles.
As for jobs, only about eight people would run the launch site.
Supporters say it could lead to other aerospace jobs related to satellite manufacturing or repair.
“Eight is not a huge number,” Lester acknowledged. “But the spaceport is like an airport.
“… It’s about the airplanes that come in; it’s about other companies that come in and create jobs. It’s about being a kernel, a seed, for an aerospace industry here.”
Asked if there are any commitments to locate that kind of work here, he said, “This industry is just building up, but we are having those conversations.”
The University of Hawaii at Manoa already trains students in satellite manufacturing through its Hawaii Space Flight Laboratory.
Luke Flynn, director of the lab, said the hope is to provide more jobs for them in the state. Worker training programs also could be offered through Hawaii Community College, he said.
A ground hazard area would extend about 1.2 miles away during launches.
That area would be cleared of people, and would contain debris if there’s a launch failure, Lester said.
Boating may be restricted in a larger area around launches.
One incident was reported at Kodiak in 2016 when the test of a new Army weapon — a hypersonic glider — failed four seconds into flight, causing flight controllers to blow it up, according to the Anchorage Daily News.
Debris damaged buildings at the facility but caused no injuries.
The East Hawaii site would only be used for commercial purposes, according to Alaska Aerospace.
“Things can happen, and that’s why we calculate those things, we plan for them, and we understand those things,” Lester said. “That’s why a location works here. It makes sense because we are far enough away.”
Not everyone was feeling comfortable with the distance.
“This is pretty much the wrong place to do it, especially down there,” said HPP resident Duane Fujiyama.
Josh Catton, another HPP resident, said he came to the meeting out of curiosity.
“I know there can be, maybe some positives here, but there’s always something that can go wrong with these projects,” he said. “You never know. You got to look at what the impacts are.”
Rockets would be launched over the ocean.
Lester said the first stage of the rockets would be released after they’ve spent their fuel.
He said they would drop into the ocean about 450 to 500 miles away.
For a 60-foot rocket, the first stage would be about 40 feet long, he said.
As for how he thought the meeting went, Lester said, “It was eventful, but it was a good meeting.”

Did you know?
* This treasured kupuna, Liko Martin, is the composer of this and many other classic Hawaiʻi songs
...
* "Waimanalo Blues" was originally composed for Nānākuli in a Blues tempo. It wasnʻt until a group of Waimānalo Boys asked to record the composition, that the original lyrics and melody/style were changed, with blessing from the composers. Years later, "Keiki o ka ʻĀina" (composers unknown, but reside in Nānākuli) was added on to the ending, just for fun.
Hereʻs Uncle Liko sharing the original lyrics and style of the song with our #ManaMele youth at Hālau Kū Māna Public Charter School.
