Auwe

In the July Ka Wai Ola O OHA story "Traditions — tamily renews old, adopts new ones" about the Kaikainahaole family, the name of the oldest living sister in the family was inadvertently left out. Her name is Harriet Waiolama and she lives in Pauoa Valley. The story of the 'Aha 'Opio O OHA in the July issue had an interview with Jonah Kuhio Ka'auwai who was elected governor in the youth legislature. The story said Ka'auwai was vice president of his junior year class at Kamehameha School and would be president of his senior class. It should have read that Johah Kuhio Ka'auwai was vice-president of the junior class boarding community at Kamehameha School and will be president of the senior class boardingcommunity. Vice-president of the Class of 1990 in its junior year was Donna Lukela. President of the class of 1990 in its senior year will be Shannon Ladd. Kupuna Betty Jenkins called Ka Wai Ola O Oha concerning the story on the 'Aha 'Opio and the menhon of the tapa cloth whieh was given eaeh of the young participants. Auntie Betty Jenkins noted the story quoted her as saying the tapa cloth is made from taro stalk and she said the quote is incorrect. The tapa cloth is shaped and nurtured and pounded into life from the wauke (mulberry) not the taro, she pointed out. Agnes Kim of Wai'anae called Ka Wai Ola O Oha concerning the story about the American Legion Post 12 named for her brother, Herbert K. Pililaau. The story, headline, and identification under the picture incorrectly gave the name as Pilila'au. She pointed out neither her brother nor the American Legion Post 12 use an okina (glottal stop) in the name. It is correctly spelled Pililaau.
