THE 26^th ANNUAL BATTLE OF MAINE
By Pamela Miranda
To date the 26^th Annual Battle Of Maine had the biggest turn out ever and had the biggest amount raised for the children's miracle network.

            This 26^th Annual Battle Of Maine was dedicated to one of Huard’s students, Ryan Guthrie, who passed away this year.  His mom, Tammy, was presented a plaque by Sensei Mark Huard, titled “Our Karate Angel”  that featured a portrait of Ryan by Lisa Babb and a dedication poem and sentiment which was read by John James of 92 Moose followed by a moment of silence.  Also present for this dedication were Ryan’s grandparents and several aunts. This set the tone for the true meaning of this outstanding tournament, “Respect, Family and Children”. Ryan will always be a big part of the Huard’s Karate Family.

The 26^th Annual Battle of Maine was the highlight of events this past weekend held in Winslow, Maine with 568 competitors and over 1,000spectators.   Also featured were numerous demonstrations performed by The Stars of NASKA  who so generously gave of their time and talents, Colbey and Sage Northcutt, Nick Schilling, Cory Lutkus, Jake Greaves, Seth Austin, Luke Broadlick, Dre Rice, Cole Eckert, Adam, Cannon, Jay Carpenter and Alejandro DaSilva.  It was, again this year, an amazing event to start the Maine tournament circuit...

SAMA KARATE KIDS

Karate is not a macho thing, karate is for everyone, so make no mistake about it, SAMA girls are just as good at karate as the boys.

TOP TIPS
Try to avoid trouble. 
Don't try to fight against your opponents strength; it is unlikely you will be able to if they are stronger.
Moves have to be short and sharp to be effective.
MOST IMPORTANTLY Always be aware of your surroundings and people around you.

Hero Stories written by Kids

'Aiea family stays fit with karate moves
 
Karate instructor Charles Goodin trains with his daughter Natasja, 12, at the Halawa District Park gym. 

They say that the family that plays together stays together. In the case of the Goodins, however, it could be said that the family that kicks, blocks and punches together stays together, too.

Waterfall
By: Carrie Fowle

Waterfall oh, what a dream,
I am resting by the stream.
This landscape is so new,
i am taking off my clunky shoe.

Waterfall oh, what a dream,
I am now barefooted by a stream.
I'll stick my toes into the river,
Though the water makes me shiver.

Waterfall oh, what a dream,
Toes submerged in the stream.
I'll climb up your big, gray rock, 
While i am not wearing my white lace smock.

Waterfall oh, what a dream,
It is time to leave your lovely stream.

Subject: 3 Time Judo International Champion

Dear Michele:

I have a friend in Bulgaria who used to be the National Swim Team Coach (male). A friend of his has a daughter who is very petite, pretty, and theatrical. She has won the International Judo Competition for female
juniors for three consecutive years. She is fourteen. She has been trained by her mother who was also a 3-time judo champion. This girl asked me to inquire about opportunities for her in the U.S. She speaks English very well. She would love to relocate here with her mother if she could earn some money here. Do you have any tips or advice about breaking into the scene here? Am I being realistic? Thank you.
