Iulai (July) 1991 Rel Wm Olel 0 Oaf' 'Ao'ao Ekolu (Page 3) Residents urge return of Kaho'olawe' from page 1 ever again. Charles Maxwell, an early Kaho'olawe supporter, along with George Helm and Walter Ritte, said the island should be returned to the Hawaiians to practice Hawaiian culture and that a special commission should be set up by the federal government to coordinate: - cleanup of the island; - the different cultural uses of the island; - the reforestation of the land; - create educational progams so that all the people of Hawai'i can experience the true value of what Kaho'olawe has to offer. There was also skepticism that the hearings and the commission's work may end up as a waste of time. Glenn Nanod, an archaeology student, said the commission was created as a result of the heated race last fall between Republican Rep. Pat Saiki and Sen. Daniel Akaka, a Democrat, for the Hawai'i U.S. Senate seat. He said now that the election is settled, "I don't believe the federal government will g o along with the recommendations of this commission."

Spinning tales of the Hnightmare weke" The effects of the weke pahulu or "night- mare weke" are well-I known by Hawaii's fishermen_ The pheno- menon occurs from eat- ing the flesh of certain species of goatfish and mullet. The fish most often implicated in the poisoning is the weke pueo, also known as weke pahulu or "nightmare weke." Named after Pahulu, chief of evil spirits, the· weke pahulu is known for the nightmarish effect it has on those who eat it before going to sleep. People report having extremely bad nightmares often of imminent death such as being lost on high seas or being mauled by dogs. One case reported from Moloka'i describes how 30 or more Japanese laborers became mentally paralyzed after eating the heads and bodies of the fish. The poison which causes nightmares is concentrated in the brain of the fish . The toxin seems to be more prevalent during the warmer months of the year and completely absent at other times. It is not clear whether its hallucinatory effects are related to ciguatera which some fish acquire by eating a certain type of algae.
