Windward CC Offers Child Care Program

Windward Community College is now accepting ap- plications for the spring semester for its new child care program offered free to qualifying evening session students. The program provides care on the wce campus to children between the ages of 5-11 while their parents attend class during the evening session which runs from about 4:30-9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Federal vocational education funds are paying for the operation of the child care program; therefore, those eligible must be majoring in one of the College's voca- tional programs: Secretarial Science, Agriculture, Accounting or Finance. Preference will be given to parents and homemakers (home caretakers who receive no compensation). Once vocational majors have been served, other stu- dents will be accepted on a space available basis. The child care program, which employs one experi- enced teacher for each seven children, offers story- telling, crafts, homework supervision and stimulating audio-visual entertainment in a relaxed environment.

On display were the two thrones which had been custom designed in Boston and which had been given to Bishop Museum some years after annexation. The room reflected the mellow warmth of koa furniture, calabashes and odd-sized bowls. The multitude of koa calabashes testified to the regard of Kalakaua's subjects who, not knowing what to give a man who had everything, consulted with their sovereign's woodworkers who had the king's pattern registered and could quickly produce the proper bow!. It certainly saved them shopping time and insured that the king had a never-ending supply of bowls. Under glass were two brilliant diamond pieces belonging to Queen Liliuokalani who bought them when she was Princess Liliuokalani on a visit to England. She was anxious not to appear dowdy and unfashionable to English nobility. One was a butterfly brooch and one a floral spray pin. Two others had been purchased at the time but some time through the years had gotten lost. Also under glass were gold watches, another diamond bracelet and alii feather leis. Near the thrones was a wonderful collection of antique canes. An impressive gift was from the Russians, sent aboard the cruiser, Rasboyjnik, which had no other mis- sion than delivering to the Hawaiian monarch that highest decoration of the Czar, the Knights Grand Cross of the Royal Order of St. Alexander Nevsky.

By Kenny Haina, Editor Kai Wai Ola 0 OHA "Hui 'Ana: A Hawaiian Celebration," has come and gone but the memories linger on. More than 20,000 people attended the two-day cele- brations Oct. 18-19 on the Bishop Museum grounds, original site of The Kamehameha Schools established 100 years ago in 1887. "Hui 'Ana" marked the beginning of the Schools' cen- tennial year and the celebrations were a first time joint effort of the Museum and the Kamehameha Association of Teachers and Parents (A TP), replacing their respec- tive annual festival and ho'olaule'a. While there was a lot of hard work involved on the part of both sides, there was no indication whether or not they would want to continue this joint venture. That it was a tremendous success is indicated by the very happy spirit which prevailed throughout both days and the sellouts occasioned by food vendors and exhibitors of various other products. Opening day festivities were held under a blazing sun as festival goers sat on the spacious lawn to watch a special opening ceremony and continuous enter- tainment throughout the day. There were umbrellas of every hue, color and size to keep out the sun and other beach paraphernalia to keep spectators comfortable. Richard Lyman, chairman of the Bishop Estate Board of Trustees, presents commemorative plaque to It was, however, a completely different weather story Robert Black, left, who reads the inscription: "Commemorating the original campus of Kamehameha on the second and final day of the celebrations.

The great lawn was turned into a quagmire and yet people stayed on to watch the entertainment, patronize the various ethnic food booths, visit the many exhibits, bought out all the celebration T-shirts and the various other products. Umbrellas were joined by raincoats, ponchos and hastily put together plastic coverings as those who insisted on watching the entertainment made it as com- fortable as possible. The oozing mud, dirty rain water and steady rain failed to dampen the spirit of those in attendance_ Slippers and other footwear were dis- carded in favor of barefeet. Despite the adversities, everyone appeared to be having a good time. In the special opening ceremony, dedication of a plaque commemorating Bishop Hall, which is now a part of the Museum, took place. Dr. Donald Mitchell, Hawaiian Studies Resource Specialist at Kamehameha, traced the history of the school1rbm its very beginning, recalling how the' very ground festival goers were sitting on was once a maze of rocky pathways_It was a very nostalgic trip back to the late 1800s and early 1900s to the present day. Also speaking was Richard Lyman, chairman of the Bishop Estate Board of Trustees, who said he was annoyed that the Hawaiian flag has to share one flagpole with the U.S. flag and promised that another flagpole will be erected to proudly fly the Hawaiian flag by itself There were plenty of food booths and a variety of produce, island favorites and ethnic foods to please alongside, instead of underneath, the American flag . everyone_ These early arrivals were able to move about freely and get a bead on the selections but it The flagpole is located at the makai diamond head end didn't last long as the crowds swelled shortly after this photo was taken_ of the field. Lyman then presented the plaque to Robert Black, president of the Bishop Museum Board of Trustees to be placed in Bishop Hall which served as the first home of the Kamehameha School for Boys. Bishop Hall, which was one of the most visited buildings, was completed in 1889 while Dormitory D, a wooden structure located to the right of the Museum entrance, was built and completed the same year. The Museum building itself was started in 1888 and com- pleted in 189l. That hard work went into the two-day festival was quite evident because of its success. It was a mammoth undertaking but very well organized. Hundreds of behind the scenes workers went far and beyond the call of duty to make the celebrations the success it turned out to be. All of the many name entertainers and masters and mistresses of ceremonies who braved the heat and rain have direct bonds with the Kamehameha Schools-as graduates, parents of students, faculty members or a combination of those ties. It was, as they say in genea- logical circles, a gathering of the clans-a true cOn;ling together of one big ohana. - There was something for everyone, even the keikis and teens and special exhibitions like "The Wayfinding Art: Ocean Voyaging in Polynesia" and the newly reno- vated Hall of Discovery where everyone is encouraged to "please touch_" The number of personalities involved were many and Kamehameha eighth grader Lance Hussey is behind bars in Ka Hale Pa'ahao while some friends ponder the number of exhibits and activities were more than on how to get him out_ This was one of the many attractions for young and old scattered throughout the enough to keep everyone busy and occupied. sprawling grounds_ Page 10 ('Ao'ao 'Umi) Kekemapa (December) 1986

This means they are entitled to as much water as is reasonable to support their farming ac- tivities. These rights have been preserved and pro- tected through statutory and case law since the Great Mahele, and are superior to the riparian rights which entitle an owner whose property is next to a stream to the natural flow of that stream for the beneficial use of his property. Although kuleana farmers have the above-described "superior" rights, they have often had to go to court to enforce them. It is no exaggeration to say that this is often a "David and Goliath" situation, with the large landowner rallying staggering legal and financial re- sources against the small farmer. In one case, NHLC fought for over two years before it finally won a court de- cision in favor of its client. Our present system leaves the kuleana owner to his risk and cost of enforcing rights in court. This hardship has been advanced as one reason why many kuleana have been abandoned.

Kaehuaea tried his hand at the air cargo business, was an unsuccessful political candidate, went bankrupt in the tour business and currently operates a nursery and banana farm on 10 of his 25 acres.
