T ooay I suggest that the "rna kala" process or the "mu'o" development of Lydia Kamakaeha was seriously affected by the history of Hawaii before and during her life. If you read her autobiography slowly and thought- fully, you find her describing her life with bold and posi- tive colors. She not only speaks of the unique status of the alii but also harkens back to the powerful majesty of Kamehameha the Great. With pride she traces her family's lineage c;md traces the succession of Hawaii's monarchs. Actually the history of Hawaii in the days of her youth was a history already in turmoil. Nineteen years before her birth, an imperious Queen Kaahumanu defied the "kapu" system and thereby overturned the significant religious structure of the past, the structure which held the old culture together. Within months, the arrival of stern Calvinist preachers brought a whole new "manao" which not only Kaahumanu but also Lili'uoka- lani would champion. Furthermore, Lili'uokalani was only two years old when Hawaii's first Constitution was promulgated, and she was 14 when the second Constitution replaced it.

At the same time, another announcement from the King Kamehameha Celebration Commission notes that the theme for the 114th annual celebration is "Kulana Ha'aheo E Na Hawai'i" (Stand TaU and Proud All of Hawai'i). On Oahu, the celebration will begin with a state decoration ceremony on Friday, June 5, with the 71st annual floral parade scheduled for Saturday, June 6. A ho'olaulea featuring Hawaiian arts and crafts will be held at Queen Kapiolani Park following the parade. Among "firsts" being established in the hula competi- tion are: • It will be a two-day event June 26 and 27 . • Hula auwana has been added for the second night. • The new location is the Neal S.

Find a problem and solve it. That's how Andy Anderson has worked all his life. Each of the businesses he created filled a void, and prospers. In the State Legislature, as both representative and senator, he always was concerned enough to listen to problems ... and strong enough to solve them. As Honolulu's Managing Director, he sought out problems and solved them, discovered needs and filled them. Mayor Fasi says he's the best ever. For the first time in our state's history, we can have a governor who has excelled as a businessman, as a legislator arid as an administrator. Just when we need him most.
