The Fasi Area Rapid Transit (FART) float sparked a media frenzy in an earlier Lanikai Woes Parade. That's Dan Cooke (at 30-something) on the bench interviewing conductor Stephen Rodgers (now Bank of Hawaii's chief investment officer) with unidentified cameraman. Photo from Ted Rodgers.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Lanikai community has seen beyond the rumored end of the world and scheduled its New Year’s Day Woes Parade for the 45th year, complete with footrace, breakfast, entertainment and a float-filled march through the community to wake up everybody.<\/p>\n

The “jolly joggery” race begins at Aalapapa Gate at 8 a.m. Jan. 1, 2013, followed by the “poignant political parody” parade at 9 a.m. (lineup is at Kaiolena and Aalapapa), and the breakfast party at 9:30 a.m. in the pavilion. The party will feature Dixieland music by the Tradewinds Jass Band, the auction of a masterpiece by local artist Mark Brown, float awards and plenty of fellowship, along with Portuguese sausage, sweet bread, eggs, coffee and juice.<\/p>\n

The march has a grand history, especially considering the trouble residents go through to choose a yearly theme.<\/p>\n

According to veteran theme- and parade-master Ted Rodgers, here’s how it happens: “After extensive discussion and repeated vote (and chad) counts, the 2013 Lanikai Parade theme has been selected: ‘Baywatch, Lanikai.’ ”<\/p>\n

The theme is appropriate, Rodgers explained, because of “recent daring and successful rescues at sea by intrepid Lanikai citizenry of tourists in trouble, successful Kontrol of Kommercial Kayaking and a 100-percent successful shark posse.” The theme also makes for easy float designs that use “kids home from school in skimpy bathing suits on boat trailers.”<\/p>\n

Earlier floats were more ambitious, he said, recalling the first float of 1968 – a 27-foot-high apartment house fashioned from refrigerator boxes, complete with penthouse. Rodgers built it to parody the defeat of a multi-unit Lanikai housing plan.<\/p>\n
