Question: Aloha. There are quite a few local people here at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska and a lot of other families who were stationed in Hawaii at one time or another. We keep up with what's happening by reading the Star-Bulletin online. We would like to ask your help in finding a copy of the Kahuku-St. Louis football championship game on videotape. Who can we contact to get a copy of that tape? Championship
football game
available on
videotapeAnswer: The championship high school football game was broadcast on KFVE. But the station did so under contract with Hawaii Sports Network, which owns the broadcast rights to the game.
We were directed to the president of Hawaii Sports Network, Chris Dey, who said you can buy a copy of the actual broadcast for $18, including shipping and handling.
You can either call 808-528-0221 or email Dey at dey@hawaiisportsnetwork.com.
KFVE will telecast 21 state high school sports events this school year in a package put together by Hawaii Sports Network. Dey said championship games -- currently volleyball -- also can be viewed at www.hawaiisportsnetwork.com.
Also, because the St. Louis-Kahuku game was played at Aloha Stadium, another source for a videotape is the stadium.
Les Keiter's "Stadium Stars" "do an entire broadcast on video," he said. Just send a $25 check made out to Aloha Stadium and, on a piece of paper, put your name, address and phone number. Also be sure to indicate the game you want. Send the check and information to Aloha Stadium, P.O. Box 30666, Honolulu HI 96820.
Keiter's aspiring sports announcers "do an entire broadcast, from the national anthem to the lights going out," he said.
He launched the "Stadium Stars" program six years ago, to help provide on-air training for young people interested in sports broadcasting. Since the stadium was taping high school games as a matter of course, Keiter first suggested selling copies of the videotapes to players' families, then added the play-by-play announcers.
Keiter, a longtime Hawaii resident, is one of the legends in play-by-play broadcasting, having covered sporting events for five decades, from Yankee Stadium to the old Honolulu Stadium.
Q: I wrote you about two months ago asking about the puzzle that appears on the back page of the comics every Sunday. If you do locate the people connected with publishing the puzzle, could they publish the names of the winners?
A: We passed your first letter on to The Honolulu Advertiser, which publishes the Sunday paper. The Star-Bulletin does not have a Sunday paper -- at least not yet. You did not leave a contact number or address, so we could not tell you that you should follow up with The Advertiser.

To those bicyclists who ride across crosswalks and think they have the rights and privileges of a pedestrian. I'm surprised more aren't injured. Only by the quick thinking and courtesy of drivers are they being protected. How many of them know they are supposed to dismount and walk the bike across to be considered pedestrians? -- No Name

The number for the Honolulu Community College CENT program, in which students repair electronic equipment and computers for reuse, is 845-9459. The wrong number -- for State Farm Insurance's fax line -- was published in Thursday's Kokua Line.
