Keale Sr., chairman of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs Board of Trustees, announced on Nov. 3 details of a program which, "has the potential of providing a way for significant numbers of Hawaiians to own their own homes for a fraction of what it would cost to buy them on the open market." The pilot self-help housing program on Department of Hawaiian Home Lands at Lualualei is made possible by a federal grant obtained by OHA from the Adminis- tration fo r Native Americans. Keale said that the first phase of the project will in- volve between seven and 15 Hawaiian families who will be assisting each other in constructing their homes. An additional 60 Hawaiian families are being sought to par- ticipate in similar programs on the neighbor islands. Participants will undergo an eight-week course in home ownership skills. A construction supervisor will teach all the necessary home building techniques and will oversee all phases of the actual construction. Each family contributes 32 hours a week of labor to build the house as a team, performing all construction work except for electrical and plumbing components. The final product is a high-quality, three-bedroom, one and one-half bath, double wall home constructed of Douglas fi r at a cost of about $30,000. The market value of the homes will be at least $60,000. Moses K.

So packed was the room that Master of Ceremonies Manu Kahaiali'i periodically had to remind the crowd to leave the exit ways clear to conform to fire regulations. Kahaiali'i, who is the Maui Trustee for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, and Betsy Hinau are two of the original founders of the song competition. Hinau has been with it for 13 of the 15 years while Kahaiali'i also had interrupted service. The song contest, however, has been dear to the hearts of the two Hawaiians. More than 600 of Maui's school children from kinder- garten through eighth grade lifted their voices in har- mony to kick off what is labeled as the signature event of Na Mele 0 Maui which is held annually to fulfill a special need- to perpetuate and preserve the culture that is Hawaii's own through the music and dance shared with generations of families and friends. This year's song contest theme was "Na Ali'i Haku Mele" which spotlighted such royal composers as Queen Lydia Lili'uokalani, Princess Miriam and King David Kalakaua. The all-winning Hana sixth graders also dominated the competition last year while competing in the Grades 3-5 division. Linda Estrella, who teaches the sixth grade at Hana, again trained the students with the able assis- tance and advice of Kupuna Josephine Helekahi. This year's Hana entry in the 3-5 category finished in third place. By winning over all honors, Hana once more gets its name on the big Na Mele 0 Maui revolving trophy. A special category award this year was a prized from of Honolulu. It was won by Kahu- lui School's second graders. San Kamaka J r. and his wife, Jerry, had an exhibit of their instruments in the ballroom's lobby area. It was well-received and brought a steady stream of viewers. The Kamakas also were busy handling a steady flow of questions and inquiries.

Kindergarteners from Sacred Hearts School lift their young voices in song. Hinau, an entertainer in her own right who is mistress of ceremonies for the Sheraton Maui luaus, once more chaired the song contest. She was again moved by the performances, observing that competition is getting keener every year. "Look at these second graders. Their voices sound so ripe, so rich already," she ex· claimed. "They are just gorgeous." "These children are so beautifu l. They are our only natural resource. I think this is so absolutely wonder- ful ," Hinau concluded. The Westin Maui also played a big part in the success of the contest. In addition to making its ballroom avail· able, they set up a large buffet of giant hot dogs, chili, rice, mixed fr uit; extra large cookies, vegetables, milk and juice. It was a class effort by the Westin Maui staff. One waitress later observed how the help may have enjoyed the work more than the keikis.

Na Mele 0 Maui Highlights Keikis, Culture, Hula Festival, Ohana During 15th Annual Celebrations By Kenny Haina, Editor Ka Wai ala a aHA

A balanced mixture of keikis, teens, adults and kupuna embracing four hula halau combined to thrill more than 3,000 spectators Nov. 21 at the Aunty Emma Farden Sharpe Hula Festival in the Monarchy Ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Maui in Kaanapali. It was the second major event in the 15th Annual Na Mele 0 Maui three· day festival which was climaxed with the first Ohana Ho'olaule'a the following afternoon at the Lahaina Civic Center. This year's festival featured Aunty Emma's own Kapiolani Hula Studio; Nina and Charles Maxwell's Halau Pukalani Hula Hale; Elaine Kaopuiki's Halau Na Hula 0 La'i Kealoha from Lana'i and Johnny Lum Ho of Hilo with his Hula Halau Ka Ua Kani Lehua and Halau 0 Kauakana Lehua Keiki. Featured with Lum Ho's halau was Lisa Ku'uipo Doi, 1987 Miss Aloha Hula winner. Miss Doi, who was also the 1979 Miss Keiki Hula win-' ner, thrilled the audience with her interpretations of hula kahiko. Aunty Emma treated the crowd to a very special appearance by four of her original dancers who are now all kupuna-Shirley Wilson, Lilinoe Sabala, Leimomi Kumu Hula Elaine Kaopulkl's dancers from Lanai thrill the overflow crowd. Perreira and Ella Cosma. The Kapiolani halau had its start in 1932 with just three students and Aunty Emma is still active today in teaching the hula. In addition to the hula festival, there were many other activities during the day Nov. 21 to keep kamainas and malihinis busy. The Kaanapali Beach Hotel hosted the Ho'ike'ike 0 Ka Wa Kahiko or ancient Hawaiian crafts and demonstrations. It featured poi pounding, feather lei making, quilting, lei making, hula implements and other ancient crafts. There were hula performances and entertainment throughout the day. Kona artist Edwin Kay ton was also on hand in the hdtel lobby to autograph copies of a commemorative poster, an original oil painting of Uncle Ned Lindsey, daughter and Kauai Kumu Hula Roselle Lindsey Bailey and granddaughter Lahela Lindsey. Members of the Na Mele 0 Maui committee wanted to capture a Hawaiian family sharing the music passed down from their kupuna, aunties and tutus-a family involved in passing the knowledge and beaufy that is Hawaii's music.

This was TAMASHIRO only the second neighbor island appearance for the MARKET group arid the first on Maui. Their first neighbor island presentation was in September at the Ala Moana Shop- ping Center. The Ohana Ho'olaule'a was a six-hour program of Lisa Ku'uipo Doi, 1987 Miss Aloha Hula, in one of great entertainment performed by a lineup of some of her dances. Hawaii's best loved families of music, song and dance. It was a fun and exciting day for the entire family which also offered a wide variety of foods, refreshments and activities.

"In the meantime the staff of four teachers has grown and now teachers and staff of the Estate ·and Schools number over 1,000 representatives in many categories. "As the years roll by the figure of 19 students and four teachers will grow many times over and the next 100 years will be beyond belief." This is the way Richard Lyman Jr., president of the Bishop Estate Board of Trustees, described it as the Schools observed its 100th birthday Nov. 4 in their own Kekuhaupi'o Fieldhouse. It was indeed a festive occasion as Kamehameha Schools officially opened its doors to admit its first stu- dents on Nov. 4,1887. One of the first graduates in the Class of 1891 was composer Charles E. King. Two of his works, "Kamehameha Waltz" and "Imua Kamehame- ha" were played by the Warrior Band during the pro- gram. Lyman, who was the program's guest speaker, noted that the school and the kingdom of Hawaii, like so many Happy 1 OOth Birthday says this three-tier cake with handsome centennial logo. other events in Hawaiian history, had been foretold by Hawaiian kahunas. "It had been predicted that when Kamehameha died his spirit would be taken to the heavens but he would re- turn back to earth. "He had been told that when he returned he would be animated and youthful and he would continue to live again in Hawaii. "He was also told that when he would return he would find that his religion would have changed and that people that lived in high places would come down and that the common people would rise up," Lyman observed. Lyman noted that all of the predictions have been ful- filled and "today his name lives again in the name of the Schools. ' The prayer was offered by the Rev. David Kaupu, Kamehameha chaplain, with welcome remarks by Wayne Chang and who co-hosted the pro- gram. Sai and Kaleinani Brown are the centennial co- ordinatgrs for the Schools. Representatives from 10 other private and public schools who have been operating in Hawaii for more than 100 years were also recognized. Only five schools, however, sent representatives and a sixth, lolani, had a message read apologizing for its non-appearance be- cause of homecoming preparations. These are stUdents on makai side of jam-packed Kekuhaupi'o fieldhouse. It was noted during the program that another Kalihi school-Kalihi-Waena School on Gulick Ave.-was likewise observing its 100th year. It is interesting to note also that Kamehameha and St. Andrew's Priory are the only two schools in the United States which were founded by Hawaiian royalty-Kamehameha by Prin- cess Bernice Pauahi Bishop and St. Andrew's by Queen Emma 120 years ago. Oldest of the schools is Lahainaluna on Maui which is in its 156th year. It is followed by Royal School, 148

It was also announced during the Royal Ball that the Pearl Harbor club won the Kamehameha Ekahi No'eau award for its overall participation throughou"t the con- vention. It was the third consecutive victory for the club which retired the perpetual trophy. Darvill, who retires this year, and his wife Marian and three children have been residents of Hawaii since 1%2. The nomination application on Darvill had this to say: "He has been an inspirational and outstanding leader to Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop's legacy. His aloha for Kamehameha Schools/ Bishop Estate and its bene- . fi ciaries as well as the people of Hawaii has not wavered since he arrived here from Michigan 2S years ago." Richard Lyman Jr., president of the Kamehameha Schools/ Bishop Estate Board of Trustess in a recent announcement stated: "My fellow trustess and I respect Fred B. Conant Jr. Nola Nahulu and have accepted Mr. Darvill's decision to retire. We regret losing to retirement an individual whose unques- ti oned integrity and commitment remind us of the traits of character Princess Pauahi wanted us to develop in the students of the Schools she founded a century ago. "Under Mr. Darvill's administration, Kamehameha Schools experienced phenomenal growth which is unparalleled in the School's history and unmatched by other elementary and secondary educational institu- tions in Hawaii or nationwide." Darvill's impact has been felt not only through Kamehameha's programs but through the work of numerous other schools and charitable institutions which he supported. In accepting the honor at the convention, Darvill told the assembly: "I cannot think of a better place to have been in Amer- ican education. I have enjoyed the privilege of serving an institution with a worthwhile mission and significant resources. And the challenge of addressing the very real Anna Cariaga needs of the Hawaiian people has stimulated my per- Mary Lou Kekuewa sonal and professional growth. "But I would have to say that I appreciate most the opportunity to have been associated with and being a member of the Kamehameha 'ohana. It has truly been an honor to work over the years with some of the most supportive and far-sighted trustess a president could wish to have. Also, it is difficult to conceive that any institution could be blessed with a more dedicated and competent faculty and staff than those· employed at Kamehameha. " In conclusion, Darvill said: "Marian and I, as well as our children, will neither forget nor cease to appreciate the aloha that has been extended to us. I can think of no memorable way to finish at Kamehameha than to be honored by this award." Miss Nahulu, who holds a Master's degree in her fie ld and is still pursuing further education, has been appointed music department chairman at the Univer- sity Laboratory School.

The remaining 95 percent are "endemic" to Hawaii. That means they have evolved into unique species that exist nowhere else in the world. Such species include the Hawaiian monk seal, the freshwater gobies ('o'opu) and the spectacular silver swords. Important as they may be, the native plants and animals of Hawaii are in serious trouble; loss of habitat and the de.vastating effects of foreign plants, animals and diseases have caused the extinction of much of Hawaii's wildlife.

The Hawaiian crow ('Alala), honeyeater ('0'6 -'a'a) and a native hibis- cus (hibiscadelphus distans) are among the rarest living things on earth. In order for things that are "naturally Hawaiian" to survive for future generations, it is essential that the people of Hawaii become aware of the problems that face our native wildlife, and by doing so help to preserve that which is unique and precious to us.
