BEST COMMUNITY ACTIVIST
Nikhilananda
We had lots of good choices here. Lucienne de Naie of Maui Tomorrow, Dean Wong of the Maui AIDS Foundation and Lahaina Town Action Committee executive director Theo Morrison all earned multiple votes. But the clear winner was Nikhilananda of Huelo. He’s a longtime Green Party activist, organizer and, on the side, works as a substitute teacher. He often speaks at public hearings dealing with water usage and land development. He’s also run for office steadily over the last decade, never winning, but always standing for the left-wing, environmental crowd. And he writes lots of letters to The Maui News—so many that he’s written letters criticizing the way they edit other letters he’s written. Anyway, he’s a stand-up guy. [AP]
