WHCC sees Anna Ranch in first activity of year

WHCC members, family, friends, and HSTA-R Hawaii Island Chapter President Niyati Brown stepped back in time through paniolo country on September 26 at Anna Ranch Heritage Center in Waimea.  The rolling video and educational tour brought to life the amazing grit, foresight, wisdom, and flamboyance of Anna Perry-Fiske, known as “The First Lady of Ranching” and “Queen of Pa’u Riders.”  Anna left indelible marks in the economy and culture of the community and state.  The hundred-acre ranch maintains a herd of ten cattle cross-bred from the Charolais and Charbray stocks she imported.

 

 Participants (from Paauilo through Kealakekua) also walked the colorful gardens and Discovery Trail or chatted with the center’s blacksmith and took advantage of the lunch and shopping venues in town.

 

 

 

News letter on Line & remember to vote Nov 6

HSTA – Retired – Hawai`i District

 

     As retirees, we are still an active and vital part of the election process.We have educated ourselves and are ready to vote on November 6.

I would remind you that we have chosen to support Mazie Hirono because we believe that she is the best choice for education and retirees.

She has always been a strong supporter of Medicare and the retention of Social Security benefits for seniors.  She has also voted to repeal

the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP). She is definitely the best choice for retirees and our

beautiful Hawaii.

     There will be 6 County Charter Amendments on the Big Island ballot as well.  If you missed then in the Tribune Herald articles, you

can still pick up a copy of the amendments at the Hawaii County Building to learn more.

     United, we can keep Hawaii moving FORWARD for all of its citizens. GOTV (Get Out The Vote!)

Mahalo,

Niyati Brown, President
