O f the iconic animals we associate with Hawai`i — humpback whales, pueo, even the beloved gecko — the donkey most likely doesn’t make the list. And while they don’t walk comically upside down on our ceilings, majestically circle the skies, or leap playfully from the ocean, donkeys were integral to the success of Hawai`i Island’s coffee industry in its early days, and hold an important place in the state’s agricultural history.

Still spotted occasionally in the lava fields near Waikoloa Beach Resort and Waikoloa Village, the Waikoloa Nightingales — as they are called for the semi-melodious braying noise they make day and night, distinct from the typical honking of a donkey — are descendants of those working animals that helped coffee farmers get their product to market almost 200 years ago.

BEAST OF BURDEN“Donkeys first came to Oah‘u as pack animals in 1825,” tells Dr. Brady Bergin, a Waimea-based veterinarian who has spearheaded efforts with the Hawai`i Humane Society in recent years to care for and find adoptive homes for the Waikoloa herd. “A few ended up on the Big Island, working the higher elevation coffee farms on the slopes of Hualālai. They’re surefooted and hearty animals, and they can pack more per pound than horses.”

The donkeys proved to be invaluable for the coffee farmers for more than 100 years, packing loads of coffee cherries from the rugged mountainside fields down to the drying and roasting facilities around Kona, and from there to the coast where the beans would be shipped to market.

After delivering their payload, the donkeys would be loaded with salt, fish, and other supplies, and the Nightingales would dutifully head back uphill to the farm, sometimes making the round trip by themselves, so familiar were they with the trails and task at hand.

After World War II, with more roads in place and a surplus of Army jeeps available, the donkeys were slowly phased out. According to a chapter on the Waikoloa Nightingales in Dr. Bergin’s forthcoming book, “The Hawaiian Horse” (with Dr. Billy Bergin), “Over the years, many of these working donkeys were released into the wilderness to fend for themselves, which they were more than capable of doing in the lush tropical environment (near Kona).”

How did the donkeys end up nearly 45 miles away in the Waikoloa area?

In 1974, Bergin tells, 30 donkeys were purchased from Hu‘ehu‘e Ranch by the Waikoloa Development Company for the purpose of developing a sort of Western ambiance for this newly established community.

“This new environment suited the donkeys very well. The dry, rocky terrain scattered with kiawe (algaroba) trees and copious amounts of fountain grass provided the most ideal conditions and their most natural habitat. The population steadily grew, and their grazing migration expanded over thousands of acres, well beyond the Waikoloa Village Association land and into neighboring ranches such as Parker Ranch. Without proper management, it wasn’t long before the population was deemed out of control.”

As resor t development along the Kohala Coast expanded in these years, and with the opening of Queen

LESSONS FROM A MASTERFor the third year in a row, noted golf instructor Bob May will bring his Golf Academy to Waikoloa Beach Resort. From June 6 - July 5, island golfers and visitors will have a chance to learn from one of golf's best.

May notably pushed Tiger Woods to a three-hole playoff in the 2000 PGA Championship at Valhalla, during a year in which Woods was at the height of his dominance. The playoff ultimately went to Woods, but the golf world never forgot May's tenacious play that day.

Nowadays, May imparts his PGA Tour experience, extensive knowledge of the swing, and his renowned emphasis on focus under pressure to golfers through his Las Vegas-based Academy, and now to golfers on Hawai`i Island.

May’s approach includes both the physical and mental game, for high-handicap players as well as juniors. From fundamentals to finesse, his instruction is inspired by and emphasizes the importance of what he calls "a passion for the game.”

The Bob May Golf Academy at Waikoloa Beach Resort will offer private lessons for adults, juniors, and couples, as well as “Trackman” performance analysis. It’s a unique opportunity to learn from one of the game's best players and most determined competitors.

For more information and to book teaching time, visit BobMayGolfAcademy.com; or call the Kings' Course at (808) 886-5375.

FISHPIPE WAIKOLOA: A BARREL OF FUNLocated near the Kona Pool at Hilton Waikoloa Village is the island's latest, greatest way for kids of all ages to splash around and have fun. It's called Fishpipe Hawai`i and it's billed as the "world's first rotating barrel ride." Up to three riders at a time are zippered inside the ball, 15 gallons of filtered water is pumped in for every new group, and the Fishpipe begins spinning while the occupants slide around in the bottom having a ball. The riders tell the operator how fast they want to go, so it's as exciting or safe as you want it to be. The ride lasts for 90 seconds, which is like being on a mile-long water slide! You know you want to!

HITTING THE HIGH NOTESThe little instrument with four strings brought out a big crowd for the 16th Annual Great Waikoloa ‘Ukulele Festival on Saturday, March 5, at Queens’ MarketPlace and Kings’ Shops. Thousands of ‘ukulele-lovers, luthiers, musicians, families, and friends filled three performance areas to enjoy 15 mini-concerts by ‘ukulele

notables, to learn about making the instrument, and sit in on playing lessons, kani ka pila style.

The day began with a free B.Y.O.U. (Bring Your Own ‘Ukulele) class taught by leading instructor Roy Sakuma, the founder of ‘Ukulele Festival Hawai`i, now in its 46th year. From there, the music was nonstop, starting off with the enthusiastic Thunderbirds, a high school ‘ukulele band from Anchorage, Alaska. High points included classic favorites Ohta-san and Nando Suan, the exciting style of Chris Fuchigami, Brian Vasquez, Kevin Haleamau, Alii Keanaaina, Hilo’s own Brittni Paiva, the power of Paula Fuga, and

Ka‘ahamanu Highway, the donkeys were cut off from their traditional watering holes near the coast. New homes and golf courses were being built too, and the by-now 600 or so free-ranging donkeys came to be regarded as more and more of a nuisance.

PRESERVING AN ICONAttempts were made over the years to round up the wandering donkeys and relocate them to an area mauka of Waikoloa Village, where fencing could keep them mostly contained. But after a major fire swept through the area in 2006 and drought conditions became severe, the donkeys would break through fences looking for water and food, often wandering into Waikoloa Village proper. Traffic issues and resident complaints multiplied.

In early 2009, one concerned Waikoloa resident, Anika Glass, formed a group called Mālama Waikoloa Nightingales to support humane management of Waikoloa donkey herds. Glass was also instrumental in bringing the Humane Society of the United States

on board to help find a solution.“(Glass) was also instrumental in securing the support of my

practice, ‘Āina Hou Animal Hospital,” Dr. Bergin writes. “I was able to donate time, services, and energy to help resolve the donkey overpopulation issues.”

By the summer of 2009, in the midst of historic drought, the feral donkey population reached a tipping point. “A rancher named Stan Boteilho was leasing the land at the time,” Dr. Bergin says, “and he approached me about what to do with the 600 or so donkeys that were roaming the land.”

Dr. Bergin toured the area on ATV with Boteilho and saw firsthand the problems facing the herd, including many weak from dehydration and some seriously injured. “The impact of what I had witnessed struck me to the very core of my animal husbandry upbringing,” he writes. “I knew that I could not simply walk away.”

In November 2010, the Waikoloa Donkey Rescue and Re-homing project officially got off the ground. Boteilho put out food and water and humanely trapped the donkeys, then delivered 70 head to Dr. Bergin at ‘Āina Hou Animal Hospital within a two-day period, where Dr. Bergin would neuter the jacks and prepare the donkeys

for adoption. This was the beginning of what would become the largest capture and re-homing of donkeys in Hawai`i.

Nowadays, Bergin says, there are fewer than 100 still on Boteilho’s land, with many having been adopted out to local farmers and ranchers — Hōkūkano Ranch in Kealakekua, for example, took a large number of donkeys to return them to the area they were from originally — and some going to rescue groups in California. Two are at the Honolulu Zoo.

“The long-term goal,” says Bergin, “is to keep 25 or so in a controlled herd on Stan’s land to preserve this historic and unique aspect of Hawai`i Island.”

In addition, visitors got a sneak preview of the new Hawaiian ‘Ukulele & Guitar shop, coming soon to Queens’ MarketPlace, where a large selection of instruments, as well as sheet music, CDs, strings, accessories, and a fun new line of t-shirts will be offered.

Twelve lucky festival attendees were selected to take home brand new, top-brand ‘ukulele, which Sakuma shared from generous sponsors. “We hope that all the winners will be inspired to play, and to come back next year and join in the music,” said Margo Mau Bunnell, Sales & Operations Manager, Waikoloa Land Company. “This year’s ‘Ukulele Festival broke all the records. More people came out, and the music was the best yet. It’s so great to see.”

May burst into the national golf spotlight at the 2000 PGA Championship at Valhalla. Though he had played on the 1991 Walker Cup team (with Phil Mickelson) and won the British Masters in 1999, it was at Valhalla that he really shone. There, he tied Tiger Woods — then in the midst of an historic year — at the end of 72 holes and the two played what has become a legendary three-hole playoff. Though Tiger prevailed, May’s determination, calm demeanor, and shot-making skills impressed golf enthusiasts

As anyone who plays golf regularly knows firsthand, the game can be both fun and frustrating … often on the same hole. We buy new clubs, spend hours at the practice range, and try every new swing technique we see on the Golf Channel … all in the hopes of shaving a few precious strokes off our handicaps.

One of the most effective ways of improving your game is taking lessons from a PGA professional; better yet, a professional who has played on the PGA Tour. For guests at Waikoloa Beach Resort, other hotels and resorts on the island, as well as for residents of Hawai ì Island, that opportunity is coming your way during the month of July, as the Bob May Golf Academy takes up residence at the Kings’ Course from July 2 - 31.

around the world, and inspired Sports Illustrated’s Alan Shipnuck to write, “May played like a champion. Woods played like a god...”

It looked like a turning point for May, a Southern California native who played his collegiate golf at Oklahoma State University. Indeed, he had breakout years on the PGA Tour in 2000, 2001, and 2002. In addition to pushing Tiger to the brink at
