KAHAKUHI O 'AINAHAU "The Flame of 'Ainahau"
June (Iune), 2011
IN ANALANI’S ABSENCE, PLEASE SEE BELOW
Aloha mai kakou, Analani‟s surgery on June 14, 2011 was a SUCCESS. She had open heart surgery today to replace an aortic valve. She will be in the Cardiac Care Unit at Kaiser Perma-nente Sunset Hospital in Hollywood for three days and then will be transferred to a regular room. There were no additional blockages and her prognosis is excellent. Mahalo Ke Akua. Mahalo from her „ohana for your prayers and well wishes. Continue to pray for her speedy recovery and that she will gain strength each day. Please direct all „Ainahau Pelekikena business to me while Analani recuperates. I can be reached at 714/897-3995 (home) or 714/290-8681 (cell) or e-mail [email protected]. Mahalo Charlene Kazner
Aloha All, So glad Analani‟s on the road to recovery—what a relief! A very busy time of year! Excited about our new members performing at Aha Aina and hope to get to know them better as the months go on. Everyone in-volved is working very hard in preparation of „Aha„aina. We especially appreciate Aunty Ulu‟s guidance and patience!! Hope you enjoy
this month‟s newsletter. Maggie
On May 16th and 17th, I had the opportunity to
attend the 25th bi-annual Asian & Pacific Is-
lander American Health Forum (APIAHF) 2011
VOICES Conference in Washington, DC.
APIAHF was founded in 1986 and is a health jus-
tice non-profit organization dedicated to improving
the health and well being of more than 17 million
Chartered November, 1982 Tax Status: 501 © (3)
Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders in the United States and its jurisdictions. The focus this year was building relationships with the national, state and local organizations. The Conference ended with congressional visits to the Senate and House of Repre-sentatives. Our recommendation to our representatives was for a federal liaison for Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander health initiatives within a federal health agency. There were over 25 Native Hawaiians and Pacific Is-landers at the conference, the largest representation of islanders since APIAHF was formed. Mahalo to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) for funding the trip for the Native Hawaiians and to Jane and Victor Pang for their coordination with OHA.
On June 4th, Geoff and Edye Hill and Dennis and I
worked at the Pacific Islander Festival at the Aquari-um of the Pacific in Long Beach. Hundreds of people
attended and enjoyed the sea life of the Aquarium and also the many displays and activities of the Pacific Is-landers. Represented at the Festival were Native Hawaiians, Samoans, Tongans, Marshallese, Fijians and Chamaroos. The Hawai‟i Visitors Bureau was there sharing information on Hawai‟i and also instructing visi-tors on lei making. We had a very active table of Hawai-ian games; Pala i e, Hu, Kimo and Konane along with tattoo stamps which na keiki loved. Over 300 keiki re-ceived a stamped tattoo. We also enjoyed meeting people from around the world and sharing a corner of the museum with an enormous tank of fish. How awe-some! Save the first weekend of June, 2012 for the next Pacific Islander Festival at the Aquarium. You won‟t want to miss it! Mahalo Geoff, Edye and Dennis for your kokua.
Included in this newsletter is information on the
Aquarium of the Pacific Sleep-over In Long Beach on August 17th and 18th. Sign up for this fun event. Your keiki will love it. Maile Hill and I attended last year with our mo‟opuna and they still talk about it and look forward to going again.
Have a wonderful summer! A hui hou, Charlene Kazner, First Vice President

Memorial Day Weekend
Twelve Ainahau awesome members started at the shed to load the Hubbard‟s Truck & Trailer and the trunk of our cars/SUV with equip-ment and items. We headed to the freeway (22 to 57 to 60 to 10 or to 405 to 55 to 91 to 60 to 10). It took us approximately 1 ½ hours, bumper to bumper to get to Hampton Inn to check in then off to Noble Creek Park to set up our Food Booth. Had sunny weather on Saturday however, early Sunday morning surprised us with rain, a little cooler and eventually the sun came out.
A Big Mahalo To: Maile & Lou Hubbard the use of their truck & trailer Joan Burgeson coming from Fairoaks to drive the truck/trailer, wrap the eating utensils Charlene Kazner & Maile Hubbard in charge of organizing/setting up the food service area. Eric Kakihara cooking the rice, “go for”, picking up the Laulau & Friday lunch, help make decisions Agnes Kakihara, cashier and in charge of Spam Musubi and assembly line makers: Maile, Charlene, Maggie and Edye Edye Hill, cashier, and photo menu Geoff Hill, “go for” to the refer & Smart & Final, cook spam & burgers Lani Ryan, cook spam & burgers, wash Maggie Perry, took off from work, served, and washed utensils & pans, Gil Kveen, steam Laulau, KAHA ice & Water Joseph Rodrigues, steam Laulau, hot water Me, trying to be Luna and being ignored be-cause everyone knew what needed to be done Lou Hubbard & Tom Kakihara were also at the shed on Friday to help load.
We all were multi-tasking and helping one anoth-
er at the same time. It was great working together, lots of fun, so tired, had no time to go shopping or go to the casino, but headed back to Hampton Inn for a nice bath and to bed! It was worth the sacri-fice dedicating the holiday weekend for this event. (Pictures Taken by Maggie on Photo Page)
Mahalo again and Much Aloha, B J Rodrigues, 2nd VP

Hawaiian Word of the Day Published with the permission of
Liana Iaea Honda he momi e lei ai--a pearl to wear as a lei
Today’s Hawaiian Pearl is: MANA’OPA’A -- (mah-nah-’oh-pah’-ah)
--Conviction, determination, firm intention, convinced, determined, resolute. WE are familiar with the word Mana’o which refers to thoughts or feelings, ideas. Pa’a is the word for firm or hard. Therefore a firm thought is, indeed, a conviction. It is with a firm thought that we move forward with deter-mination. IN light of events that have affected all of us worldwide we must remain steadfast in our Mana’opa’a that peace is our ultimate goal, that humankind is of one species and in order to survive as a species we must be united. HE mana’opa’a kona ua pono kane hana. He is convinced his conduct is righteous. HE mana’opa’a ko kakou, ’o ia no ka maluhia o ke ao nei. We have a conviction and that is peace for our world. Aloha, Liana K. Iaea Honda

Peace is something we all want and

in our own little ways.

tionnaire is to remain unchanged. When notifica-tion is received that the Award Nomination Forms, (changed or unchanged), are available,

KOLOHE LUNCH
REPORT AND UPCOMING DATE
INFORMATION
BY JACKIE JUDD
Kim Su Restaurant was host to just the five of us this time, however, you know those of us who do go enjoy every moment (in between making goo goo eyes at the lady pushing the cart to stop so we can latch on to some of that delicious dim sum) We ordered dishes such as, har gow (a shrimp dish with a pepeiau type cov-ering), seu mai (A pork hash one-ton type dish), taro cakes (yum), house chow mein (always have to have the noodles), sweet/sour ribs (we weren't impressed with this dish) gai lon (Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce); honey walnut shrimp, and for dessert (gotta have that) rice cakes with lots of hot tea and that's about what satisfied Jay, Gil, Lori, Colonel and me. The next Kolohe lunch as indicated
below, we are looking for-ward to going to the New Ruby Palace. William, the new owner, is hoping to have his grand opening by then. If it doesn't happen, we will quickly let you all
know where the substitute place will be. Give it a thought. Alternate location will be Lazy Dog, 16310 Beach Blvd. if New Ruby Palace not open. Please give Gil Kveen a call at (714) 544-1093 . Aloha Jackie!
