‘No shred of ethics’
in Donald Trump
Regarding the article in the Tribune-Herald dated Jan. 19, “Trump begins selling new crypto token, raising ethical concerns”: This should be of no surprise to the general public.
Lest we forget, the reelected commander-in-chief Donald Trump is the first president to run the United States of America as the first convicted felon in history.
There is no doubt that there is no shred of ethics in him, and it’s all about making money for him and his family.

Disappointed by UH-Hilo
professor’s comments
The Connections Public Charter School community is deeply disappointed by professor Lincoln Gotshalk’s recent comments regarding the proposed Edita Street campus. While we respect his right to an opinion, we are shocked by the flawed logic and assumptions presented.
Firstly, the school is not located on Kaumana Drive, but on Edita Street, a parallel residential street with significantly less traffic. Secondly, the Puainako Extension now handles the majority of downhill traffic from Kaumana, further mitigating the volume and speed of vehicles near the proposed site.
Professor Gotshalk speculates about drivers exceeding the speed limit, yet ignores the impact of a designated school zone with reduced speeds and increased safety measures. His generalization that drivers ignore speed limits around schools is not only inaccurate but undermines the efforts of responsible community members who prioritize the safety of our children.
As an educational institution that has proudly sent many graduates to UH-Hilo, we are particularly disheartened to see a university professor contribute to an attack on our school. We expect more from those entrusted with shaping young minds — a commitment to facts, reason and support for educational endeavors.
We invite professor Gotshalk to visit our current campus and engage in a constructive dialogue about traffic safety and the positive impact our new facility will have on the community.
