text: Is anyone besides me reminded of junior high school and its absurd cliques?  All nine individuals on the board were elected to bring their energy, insight and judgment to bear for the betterment of the Hawaiian people.  Instead, eight trustees meet behind closed doors (just as they did to deal with still-secret allegations of Mr Apo's alleged misconduct) to hash out what to do about still-secret allegations against Ms Akana, this apparently at the insistence of Mr Crabbe, whom a majority of the trustees wish to terminate!  Meanwhile, Ms Akana buttonholes an unhappy beneficiary in a hallway to dismiss the beneficiary's concerns.  Perfect.  Please, trustees, take deep breaths, and step away from the personal.  Remember what you were elected to do.  Nobody sent you to the OHA to trash your fellow trustees.  You were sent to bring your wisdom to bear with that of the other elected trustees in order to make Hawaii a better place.  Are you doing that?
