Holu reported that Waialua High School students from Loma (Hauoli) Hires' special motivation class have been studying about ahupua'a and the various North Shore busi-

nesses in preparation to manning the stand. Students will man the stand after school hours from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and on weekends from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The latter hours will be maintained during the summer.

"They will be our community mouthpiece," Holu said, "and it will teach them responsibility and pride." Holu added that Waimea Falls Park will provide adult supervision during the 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. period on school days. Students will get paid from donations and sales of various items. Ke Kumu's role in the project has been to find the resources and to bring them together. Ke Kumu will continue to manage, organize and coordinate the project until it is well on its way.

The stand will offer community brochures, maps of the community showing historical and archeological sites and brief background information. Various businesses and restaurants will also be detailed on the maps. North Shore communities in the project are identified as those stretching from Kaena Point to Waimea Bay.
