The pilings that are out there, that you have seen every time you have come here to this beach, are left over from the original pier that was built when the plantation was organized. They were out here in this remote area and they needed to get the sugar to market, and so that was built in order to get the sugar, and whatever else they were growing, to Honolulu to the markets. These (pilings) have been here ever since.

Anderson Professor of Philosophy James G. Thompson Professor of Kinesiology John Challis Graduate Program Director ... Department of Kinesiology Graduate Program Director *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii Abstract On August 24, 2002, the United States Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp in honor of the man whom Robert Rider, Chairman of the Postal Service Board of Governors, called “a hero in every sense of the word.”1 The stamp honored Duke Kahanamoku, a man regarded with the reverence bestowed upon a legendary figure in his home State of Hawai`i, yet relatively unknown on the United States mainland. Bishop Museum archivist Desoto Brown described Kahanamoku as “the most famous Hawaiian person who has ever been, in terms of him being 100 percent ethnically Hawaiian.”2 Known as the “Hawaiian fish,” Kahanamoku is indisputably one of the greatest heroes that the Hawaiian Islands have ever produced. Born in 1890 Duke Paoa Kahinu Makoe Hulikohoa Kahanamoku3 died in 1968. In his lifetime, Hawai’i moved from an independent monarchy to full statehood in the United States of America.

    2 fit AIUWlJl C·~~ r.....,.,.,...., K 10, II, 12, 1983 ~ r , HtlWtlii THE' CONVENTION THEME ' "I KU NO I KA MANA A KE KAHU HANAI" (TRAITS ACQ~IRED FROM THOSE WHO RAISE A CHILD) Ybung people reflect the attitudes and characteristics of those who raise them. The Kahu Hanai, who feeds the child with his fingers (mana ai) or from his mouth (pu'a) supposedly transfers his qualities to the child through this contact. As the child grows, these qualities become strengthened and fixed. The individual takes on the likeness of his'Kahu. The Kahu has the tremendous influence and responsi­ bilityfor either godd or bad upon the young life he is moulding. Later in life when the person, now grown, starts a family of his own, these qualities are passed on to his children or the new generation. When,the young people do wrong, those responsible for the youths cast the blame on society. Actually, it all started in the poi bowl. "I ku no i ka mana a ke Kahu Hanai". In these times when we see and hear so much about what our young people do, we need to pause and find some way to help our young people develop qualities that make them better men and women in today's complex world. By way of comparing a person and the lehua: like the lehua, both grow. The Kahu Hanai nurtures the child. Wahine Kapu (Pele) , . nurtures hope (the lehua), In his youth the individual is beautiful, physically like the liko (young shoots) and the exotic flowers of the lehua.

  • Modernism Resources
    THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Hawaii Modernism Context Study 4.1 Specific Building Types 4.1.1 Low and Mid-Rise Commercial and Office Buildings Many of the remaining one to six story commercial and office buildings today are perhaps the most endangered building type of the post-World War II period. They stand on business zoned lands capable of supporting greater densities than the current structures provide. As a result, a large number of these structures have already disappeared from the landscape, especially in Waikiki. Most of the post-World War II, low-rise commercial or office buildings are of masonry construction, often concrete block, with the wood State Savings Plaza (1973) in Kaneohe designed by Johnson-Reese & Associates being a rare exception to this rule. All are modern in style, displaying an assortment of variations related to the movement, ranging from the vestigial rounded corners of streamline moderne to mid-century modern to formalism and expressionism. Most fall under the stylistic classification of mid-century modern, but some employing folded plate roofs or curvilinear roof forms that are expressionist in character, while others with a strong sense of symmetry and pronounced columns represent formalist ideas. Distinctive architectural features include such elements as flat roofs, thin, flat cantilevered concrete canopies or awnings, strong right angles and simple cubic forms, rounded corners, aluminum framed store fronts and entry doors, and projecting vertical elements, which often carried the name of the building. Exterior walls may be smooth concrete, painted concrete block, or clad with veneers such as lava rock, sandstone or thin slabs of Arizona sandstone.
