Waimanalo Leads Field of 220 Participants

Two hundred and twenty participants from 17 areas, including 10 from Niihau and five from Kauai, had themselves a real hall as they competed in Oahu's second annual Ka Makahiki Na Paani Hawaii Hawaiian sports and games at Ala Moana Beach Park Aug. 4. An estimate of the crowd ranged from 500 to 800 and they also enjoyed themselves, boosting their favorite participants and their respective home areas, keeping the hibachis going and the beverages cold and handling logistics for their lavorite boy or girl. lt was the first Makahiki participation for the Niihau and Kauai contingents and the !5-member roster performed exceedingly well. Niihau went home with 1 1 medallions and Kauai nine. Waimanalo led the field of winners with 38, followed by Stevenson with 23 and Booth and Na Opio O Emalani (Queen Emma Hawaiian Civic Club Youth Group) having 18 eaeh. Nanakuli was right behind with 17 medallions. In brief opening remarks, Mayor Eileen R. Anderson lauded the commission's work in keepingthe Makahiki alive and also had praise for the participants and the many volunteers on hand to eonduct the day's program. "It is my hope," she said, "that some day we ean have these Makahiki games on a statewide basis." Also addressing the crowd were Georgianna Padeken, director of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands representing Gov. George R. Ariyoshi; Makahiki Commissioner Thomas K. (Unele Tommy) Kaulukukui Sr.; and Charles W. Kenn, special guest of the day. Results: Boys Kukini (foot race). age 8-9 — Stason Fernandez (W). Simote Lo(o (W) Age 12-13 — Manuel Fernandez (W).
