Ke ʻimi nei nā hale pule Wyoming e hoʻāla i ka ʻuhane me ka hau kalima manuahi | Nūhou

ʻO Noa lāua ʻo Shannon Singer nā mea kūʻai mai, ʻo Park Metropolis, Utah, ka mea i ʻike iā lākou iho ma kahi kūpono i ka manawa kūpono i ko lākou holoholo ʻana ma ke Alanui Glenwood i kēia mau lā me kā lākou ʻōpio ʻōpio ʻekolu. Hāʻawi wale lākou i ke kaʻa kalima hau uila uila me ka maʻalahi i ka huki ʻana o Collins iā ia mai ka lua o ka hale pule a mākaukau e hehi wāwae.

"Ua pōmaikaʻi mākou i kēia manawa," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Noa, i ka huli ʻana i kāna kaikamahine 7 makahiki, ʻo Ava. “He aha kou makemake? ʻO Popsicle paha, ʻeā? ”

"ʻAe!" ʻUā ʻo ia, e hoʻomālamalama ana kona mau maka ma luna aʻe o nā makakiʻi paʻa. "He Popsicle!"

"Pehea ʻoe e noi ai?" i ʻōlelo ai kona makuakāne.

"Hiki iaʻu ke ʻoluʻolu e loaʻa kahi Popsicle?"

Ua hāʻawi ʻo Collins i kekahi iā Ava, a laila i kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe o ka ʻohana, a laila wehewehe ʻia ke kumu: I ke kau kau i hōʻike ʻia e kahi maʻi ahulau i waiho ʻia he haneli haneli mau tausani e manaʻo nei i kahi mamao a me nā ʻano maikaʻi ʻole, ʻo St. John's a me ka Presbyterian. Lana ka manaʻo o ka hale pule e halihali i nā poʻe o Jackson Gap me ke kanakē, maikaʻi momona.

Ua loaʻa ka manaʻo ma aneʻi mai Catherine Morahan, ke alakaʻi ʻōpio o ka halepule, me kahi kālā $ 11,700 mai ka Basis no ka Episkopal Diocese o Wyoming i hiki ke loaʻa i nā kaʻa e-bike he $ 5,000.

"Ke hoʻāʻo nei mākou e wehe i kahi aloha," i ʻōlelo ʻo Collins. "Aloha hau kalima."

"Maikaʻi, ua hana paha ʻoe," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Shannon Singer, me ka minoʻaka ʻana. Hele ka home i ke kaona, licking ʻo Popsicles i loko o ka lā o ka ʻauinalā. Ua hoʻomaka ka poʻe manawaleʻa i loko o ka papa ʻokoʻa. Ma kahi mikionali lākou, hoʻomaka wale lākou e hoʻomaka.

He kuleana ʻo Collins no ke kaʻa, ʻo ia ka mea i loaʻa ma ka mākeke e hoʻokele ʻia e kahi e-uila. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e hele mai ia me nā kink a kekahi e manaʻo ai i kahi mea hou - he "kaumaha nui, kahi ʻano tippy," i ʻōlelo ʻo Collins. Ma hope o kekahi mau loli ua loaʻa iā ia ka paʻa o ia mea, eia naʻe i nā manawa ʻike ʻo ia i ka paʻakikī o ka maneuver, keu hoʻi ma o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi awakea.

ʻO ka huakaʻi hou loa ka mea maʻalahi, ʻoiai naʻe, a ʻo ka hana mua, ʻo ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Jackson Gap Youngsters, kahi a kahi hui i hana ai ma aneʻi. Ua ʻokiʻoki kahi keikikāne mai ke koena i kahi beeline no ke kaʻa, e lele ana i ka pā lāʻau e hele i ke ala wikiwiki loa.

Ua kāohi lākou iā lākou iho i ke kokoke ʻana i ka poʻe mākua, e hana ana i kahi ʻano o ka laina faila hoʻokahi. Ma ka puka o ke kaʻa e papa inoa ai kahi papa inoa i ʻekolu mau mea: nā ʻaukā hau kalima i hoʻopomo ʻia, nā Popsicle a me nā sanwika hau kalima.

"Loaʻa iā ʻoe hoʻokahi, ʻelua ʻekolu," aʻoaʻo ʻo Woodson i ka hui. "Maopopo iā ʻoe ka hoʻopulapula."

Ua hele lākou ma o kēia ma mua o. Hahai maʻamau ke kaʻa i hoʻokahi o kēlā me kēia ala ʻekolu. ʻAʻole ia i kū ma ka hale hōʻikeʻike i loko o ʻelua mau pule, akā naʻe, hoʻomanaʻo ka poʻe ʻōpio ma laila i ke ʻano o ke kūpono.

ʻO kahi wahine ʻōpio, ʻo Iris Bain, he 8 ona makahiki, i ʻōlelo ai ua loaʻa koke ʻo ia i ke kaʻa i ʻelua mau lā i ka lā hoʻokahi a loaʻa me nā mea ʻelua - kahi hoʻomaha e pono ai i loko o ka nalu pumehana hou o ia wahi.

"Manaʻo nui ʻia kēia manawa kūpono," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, "akā ʻoi aku ka wela ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o ʻelua."

ʻO Anna Luhrmann, kēia mea hoʻonohonoho pūnaewele no ka hale hōʻikeʻike, i hui pū i loko o ka ʻahaʻaina hau. Ua ʻai wale ʻo ia i kahi “salakeke nui. Pāpaʻa nā salakeke. ʻOi loa ka ʻai kalima. ”

"ʻO ia wale kekahi o nā mea maikaʻi loa e hana ai i kēlā kau kau," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia no ka lawelawe hoʻolako. “Nui ka leʻaleʻa a me ka leʻaleʻa o ke kaona liʻiliʻi i loko. He wā paʻakikī kā kēlā me kēia, no laila e hāʻawi kāua i ka ʻaikalima i nā ʻōpio. ”

Ua hoʻomaha ʻo ia i kahi kekona, me ka lawe ʻana i hoʻokahi mau mama ʻē aʻe: "A me kā lākou mau haʻiʻōlelo," hoʻohui ʻo ia.

Hele pinepine nā mea manawaleʻa o ka hale pule i nā noi kau kau, e like me kēia ma ka hale hōʻikeʻike a me ka Artwork Affiliation o Jackson Gap. Ma kēia mau wahi ʻike pinepine i ka ʻike ʻana i nā ʻōpio e nānā pono ana i ke kaʻa, ka ʻuā huhū o ka “ʻaikalima!” mua o ko lakou hiki ana.

ʻO Phil Baux Park kahi mea e pau ai kahi kū maʻamau, kahi e noho ai nā awāwa a me nā mea kipa e noho ai i ka lā holoʻokoʻa. I ko lākou huki ʻana, ʻumeʻume wale ʻo Collins lāua ʻo Woodson i kahi ʻeke ʻōpio ʻōniʻoniʻo i nā sneakers a me nā pōkole ʻulaʻula nani. ʻO ka poʻe mākua, akā, he mea hiki ke hāpai hou.

“Makemake ʻoe i kekahi mea?” Ua noi ʻo Woodson i hoʻokahi lede e hele pū ana me nā pūʻulu keiki. Kū ʻo ia i kahi ʻaoʻao, maopopo leʻa ʻole inā ʻae ʻia ʻo ia e ʻai.

"ʻOiaʻiʻo," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Woodson. “No nā ʻōpio kēia o nā makahiki āpau.”

ʻO ka kekona ma hope ua holo nā kāne ʻelua ma nā paikikala ma hope o ke kaʻa, akā naʻe ma ke kiko o ka ʻaikalima manuahi ua palapū lākou a pōʻai hou. Ua kū ke kanaka makua, ʻo Michigander ka inoa ʻo Joe, e loiloi i ke ʻano. E like me ka nui o nā makahiki i ʻae ʻia, ua hele a pīhoihoi ʻo ia.

“No ke aha he manuahi ia?” ua noi ʻo ia.

Ua hōʻoia ʻo Woodson iā ia ʻaʻohe hopu. "ʻAʻohe mea manuahi," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia, "akā manuahi kēlā."

"Maikaʻi," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Joe, "he maikaʻi iki no kaʻu keiki a me aʻu. ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kuʻi manuahi."

Ke haʻalele nei i ka pā, ua ʻike ʻo Collins lāua ʻo Woodson i ka lehulehu o ka Wilderness Adventures Base Camp. ʻO kā lākou wahi hoʻomaha hoʻomaha ia, akā haʻahaʻa ka hana ʻana.

"E nānā i kēia mau ʻōpio āpau ma uka," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Woodson. "Hāʻawi lākou i ka manaʻo o ka wela."

"Lana koʻu manaʻo ua lawa kāua," i ʻōlelo ʻo Collins.

ʻO kekahi ma hope o kekahi ua faila nā ʻōpio ma o, ke koho ʻana i kā lākou Popsicle a me ka ʻaikalima. ʻOiai ua hoʻemi ʻia ka wai ʻalani creamsicle i ʻelua wale nō, ua loaʻa i nā mea āpau ka mea ʻono a lākou e makemake ai. I ka pau ʻana o nā hola ʻelua, ua hānai ʻo Collins lāua ʻo Woodson i hoʻokahi mea e like me 150 mā, a ua loaʻa nā minoʻaka he nui i kā lāua hoʻihoʻi ʻana. ʻO ia, i ʻōlelo ʻia, ʻo ia kā lākou uku.

"ʻO nā poʻe a pau i neʻe," wahi a Woodson, "ua like me, 'ʻO ia paha ka mea leʻaleʻa loa a mākou i hoʻokō ai i ke kau kau wela a pau.'"
