Laurie and Jake Rohrer live near the small town of Ha’iku on the Hawaiian island of Maui. They have a recording studio in their home. They are helping to support the music of artists who they say are extremely talented yet largely unknown.

Jake built a recording studio in their garage. The couple produced a CD with a singer named Ata.

The Rohrers wanted to continue producing music, so they established their own record label. They chose the name that one of their artists had given to their home ------ Ululoa.

The Rohrers decided to invite only native singers they liked to record with them. They say they give their artists freedom of expression and cultural respect. They also give them half the profits once sales have paid back the cost of producing a CD.

There are no contracts (合同). Jake Rohrer says everything is settled with a handshake based on the Hawaiian tradition of pono.

In Hawaiian culture, stories are passed down from generation to generation through songs. Many artists say the Rohrer are helping to save this oral tradition. But Laurie Rohrer says they are just trying to produce good music.

Laurie Rohrer said, “ It cannot be said that we are doing what we do to preserve Hawaiian culture. But if recording Hawaiian people and their music has an end result, we would be very happy.”

Laurie and Jake Rohrer are already watching the next generation of Hawaiian singers. When the best of them are ready, they will be invited to record on the Ululoa label.

Mr. Hadley was my 6th grade teacher. I was a tall thin girl weighing barely a hundred pounds. I ended up taking a lot of  36 especially from the boys, because of my appearance. I became an extremely  37 young lady.

One day  38 in the 6th grade class was told by Mr. Hadley that we would be  39 to stand up in front of the class and read the  40 that we had completed.

When my turn came, I  41 to stand up in front of all those students and  42 to their tricks. Mr. Hadley came over to me and again  43 me to read my report. I gave it back to him. He walked to the front of the  44 and said, "Yvonne has a very good report here and I think everyone  45 to hear her read it. If I hear anyone making  46 noises or making fun of her in any way, I will let you fail right here and now. Understood?"

Mr. Hadley walked back to me and  47 me the paper, asking me to go to the front of the class. I walked to the front of the class on legs  48 were shaking and I felt a(n)  49 in my chest. Everyone were all quiet, including those boys. I stood there trying to gain  50 .

Mr. Hadley walked over to me putting his arm around me, "You can do it. I have  51 in you!" His words helped calm me. I  52 the report and instead of the kids laughing at me and  53 me, they all stood up and clapped their hands.

From that day on the kids never made fun of me again and some  54 made friends with me. I continued to be quite shy all through school  55 from that day on I knew if I had to stand up in front of class again. I could do it.
