[edit] Content moved

I've temporarily moved the following content from the main article until it can be cleaned up and sourced:

Hakalau school once ranged from kindergaden to the 9th grade. As the sugar plantation was phased-out, the children from seventh to ninth grades had to relocate to Prince Kohio Kalanianeole School in the town of Paipako, Hawaii about seven miles away. The small town had two churches one Catholic and one Buddhist. At the Buddhist church, they offered Japanese language school, Aikido classes, and Japanese arts and crafts. There were two stores, Moritas store and gas station, and the Fujii store and bakery. The Fujii store and bakery made fresh bread and pasteries daily. Mr. Fujii also had a traveling van with store items and went through the neighborhoods selling wares from his store to those without transportation to get to the store. Also available was Yoshimura Chevron Garage and filling station. There was a ball park with tennis courts which held baseball games for both little league and pony league for the other towns close to Hakalau. There are several streams in the area creating swimming hole for the children. With sugar fazed out the town of Hakalau has few residents and no local area stores or churches today. Every several years the town has a reunion and all the old residents return to reminist old times.
