The result is that 75 percent of the staff are either from Lana'i or have returned. They also note that, thus far, over $250 million has been invested by the company on the island, "a large portion of this is infrastructure improvements for the benefit of local residents." Dole officials vow to maintain the intimate appeal of the island as well as its acres of rugged countryside. And some say having Lanai's control under the domain of Dole is preferable to a buy- out by a foreign investor. The ad, which is identified as "An Open Letter on the Issues from David Murdock," chairman of the Dole Food Co., acknowledges that Lana'i is a "special" place. "Lana'i is very special. 1 want to work with all groups to provide an improved future - economically, socially, and culturally - for all of the residents and employees of Lana'i," Murdock states in the advertisement. Castle and Cooke officials could not be reached for further comment. Throughout interviews with island residents, local and state officials and staff at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) familiar with the situation on Lana'i the word "special" was, in fact, the most commonly used description of the island.

"I feel people need to take an active voice in their future. We will be the ones living with the change." Yet some on Lana'i have already shifted gears into the tourism field . Elaine Kaopuiki spent 12 years working in the pineapple fields of Dole Co. and her husband, Sam, recently retired after 41 years with the company. Today, Elaine Kaopuiki plays Hawaiian music in a three-person group at both Lana'i resorts. For the past 40 years, she also has taught hula. "You can't stay outside looking in. 1feel one way or another through my hula or music, they need me," she says. Kaopuiki treasures the way of life on Lana'i and advocates residents to express their opinions about Lanai's future, "to be seen and to be heard." But she also believes by working at the hotels she is teaching interested non-Hawaiians about a rich culture and helping Hawaiiana live on. Trustee Louis Hao, who represents Lana'i and Moloka'i on the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) board, echoes Evans' observations about Lana'i residents who are silent about the direction the island takes.

Currently, there are no Hawaiian Home Lands on Lana'i and Hao supports OHA negotiating with the state and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to set aside land. While one-i ndustry towns from steel to timber have hardly been a rarity in the U.S ., Lana'i as an isla nd has existed in even more seclusion than other "company towns." That same isolation can II ave residents with fewer, often more expensive choices. "Even in the old mill towns you could drive somewhere else. You had more mobility," says State Rep. Roslyn Baker, who represents the island's population of between 2,200 and 2,400 and of mostly Filipino, Japanesf', other Asian and Hawaiian backgrounds.
