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: HO’OIKAIKA KINO (hoh-’oh ee-kah-ee-ka key-noh) - Exercise Exercise! Ho’oikaiki kino Literally this means to strengthen Notice the word ikaika which means strong. The ho’o in front of it makes it a causative…to cause strongness. In other words, to strengthen the body (kino). And that is what we are doing when we exer-cise, we strengthen our bodies. Now something hap-pens in the summertime. I think it has to do with the weather, but a good number of us begin to ho’oikaika kino again. Whatever the reason, it is a good thing. I’m sure this is not a term the Hawaiians used very often. I think for the common or, or maka’ainana, being in shape was a necessary part of life. One had to be adept at fishing, farming, building, etc. Women spent their days weav-ing and collecting and preparing the lauhala, pounding kappa (no easy task), among other things. Busy work. No TV. No desk job. Living day to day included body strengthening work. Have you ever worked with a real ‘o’o? (heavy tool). Or, how about the pohaku ku’i ‘ai, or what we call the poi pounder? That builds muscle! The i’e kuku to pound the bark into kappa is no lightweight instrument. Today we are always looking for ways to make our job easier, lighten our load, mini this and lightweight material that. No wonder we need to con-stantly search for ways to ho’oikaika kino. E ho’oikaika kino kakou I ka hana a ma ka hale.—Let us all exercise at work and at home. Aloha,

Liana Iaea Honda

Poison Prevention Week: March 18 – 24, 2012 First aid home treatment measures for

suspected poisoning

Call a poison control center, hospital, or doctor immediately. The United States National Poison Control Hotline phone number is 1-800-222-1222. Have the poison container with you so you can give complete information to the poison control center. Do not try to cause vomiting. If your poi-son control center recommends vomiting for a specific sub-stance, follow their guidelines. The poison control center will be able to help you quickly if you have the following in-formation ready:

◊Your name and phone number

◊The name, age, weight, and health status of the person who has been poisoned

◊Type of product. Read the brand name as it is written on the label. Include the list of ingredients and the company name and contact number, if it is available on the label.

◊Amount of product involved in poisoning

◊Type of poison exposure—swallowed, inhaled, or in con-tact with the eyes or skin

◊Time of poisoning

◊Whether the person vomited

◊Any first aid measures taken

◊Your location and how far you are from an emergency medical facility If the poison control center recommends medical evaluation, take the product container or sub-stance and any stomach contents that the person vomit-ed to help doctors determine the seriousness of the poi-soning.

NOTE: Do not use syrup of ipecac. It is no longer used to

treat poisonings. If you have syrup of ipecac in your home, call your pharmacist for instructions on how to dispose of it and throw away the container. Do not store anything else in the container. Mālama pono, take care of yourself, stay well! Aloha no, Ka`ala & Kaiwi Pang

Aloha ‘Ainahau Ohana: Hi my name is Andrea and I’m a junior at Emerson College in Boston. I’m majoring in Print and Multimedia Journalism. I’m involved in two student-run journalism organiza-tions: WECB and WERS 88.9 FM. Both organizations are radio news stations. WECB is Emerson’s online radio station and has been broadcasting since 1947. I am the Photo Editor for the news department of WECB News. For WERS 88.9, I’m a “You Are Here” reporter. “You Are Here” is a weekly hour-long news show that airs on Sundays from 7am-8am. The show strives to be the collegiate version of NPR’s “This American Life.” There is a different theme every week and each re-porter creates a 7-8 minute news story on the theme. I’m also involved in Emerson’s Fashion Society as a photographer. I take behind-the-scene photos of both the male and female Top Model competitions and runway shows. Lastly, I’m a member of the co-ed fraternity, Zeta Phi Eta. We are a professional fraternity that connects active members with alumni who in their field of study. So that was the “boring” stuff. If you don’t know already, I was very ill this past summer. I was in Boston for the summer and I was feel-ing a little sick. I had a headache and thought I was coming down with the flu because of the weather. I was staying at my friends’ apartment before I moved into my current apartment. At the time, I was working at Pinkberry and I had a shift and decided to take a nap since I was feeling under the weather. When I woke up I was in a hospital bed at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). After I went to take a nap, my body had gone into shock. I was run-ning a high fever and started convulsion. Luckily, before I went to sleep I told my friend to make sure to wake me up for my work shift. She heard me making noises and came to check-up and me and called our other friend who called 911. The paramedics came and took me to the hospital, which was right down the street. MGH called my parents and told them to come to Boston right away because it was a life or death situation. I was unconscious for the first three or four days of my hospital stay. About half of my bodily functions had shut down and a tube had to be inserted to help me breath. When I woke, my parents and friends were there with more family on the way. I became a bit of a celebrity in the Intensive Care Unit with my never-ending stream of visitors. After about a week in ICU, I was moved to the general care. I had been alert for a few days at this point and couldn’t wait to get out of the hospital. But, my body was weak from the illness and inactivity, so I could barely walk on my own and had a physical therapy to re-teach my leg muscles how to stand and walk. I was released from the hospital and started physical therapy to strengthen my muscles again. My mom, Agnes Kakihara, stayed two months with me to help me get back on my feet and cook for me and do my laundry. It was pretty awesome. It’s actually very hard to fit everything that happened in the span of about 2 weeks of my life. So much happened and a lot of it I don’t remember. And to this day, the doctors don’t really know what happened to me. Their best guess is that I had a virus and now it’s gone without a trace. So here’s the good news: I’m alive and well and have a great family! Also Mahalo for all the thoughts and prays my ‘Ainahau Ohana gave me through the e-mails shared by my mom, my Dad (Eric Kakihara) and grandmother (Paddy Kakihara) to you all.

A friend of mine recently came upon this

cookbook from the 50’s or 60’s called “Hawaii’s Da Kine Kookbook” by a Mauian named Harvey Okumura. All the recipes are written in pidgin with much of the writer’s comic anecdotes in-cluded. In his introduction, he writes: “…what started out as a joke, ended up like this. I hope no one is offended by any racial putdowns or the abuse of the food because it was all meant in fun.” It also includes a glossary for the pidgin, but you locals will enjoy the challenge, I’m sure. I selected two I hope you enjoy deciphering! And I think they’re pretty ono too!

Uncle Likeke's Kihapai Update Column

By Maile & Maggie

NOTE FROM CHARLENE: Uncle Likeke’s Kihapai is flourishing. Mahalo to all of you who have weeded, planted, watered and helped maintain our garden.

Our co-chairs, Maggie Perry and Maile Hill are doing an excellent job coordinating our garden du-ties…Mahalo nui.

Per e-mail sent status on March 21, 2012 with pictures, our next get together will be April 14, 2012 at 11:00 a.m.

Be a part of this exciting project……‘Ike Ku’oko’a – Liber-ating Knowledge. This is a Hawaiian newspaper initia-tive where volunteers are taking digital scans of Hawai-ian-language newspapers and typing them into searcha-ble typescript. Over 125,000 pages of Hawaiian lan-guage newspapers were printed from 1834 – 1848. The-se papers were an intentional repository of global and local news, politics, science, history, commerce, enter-tainment, and opinions as Hawai`i moved through king-dom, monarchy, republic and territorial periods. Only 2% of this repository is known and used today. `Ike Ku`oko`a is a global project to make the entire collec-tion word-searchable by July 31, 2012. Over 3,000 volunteers are needed for this project. No Hawaiian language skill is necessary. All you need to do is type from downloaded text onto your computer. Just register, log in, and reserve a page to type. Guidelines are on the website. Go to www.awaiaulu.org to learn more.

AOHCC Councils Renamed SEVERAL Conventions ago, it was determined olelo Hawai`i should be used more prominently in our meetings. A year later, all the Committees were renamed. For example, the Education Committee became Komike Ho`ona`auao, the Health Committee is now Komike Malama Ola, etc. We are, after a few years, becoming used to these new names. (well, kind of!) AT THE Constitutional Convention held prior to the 2011 Conven-tion, each Council was asked to choose a Hawaiian name for them-selves. Most of them were an easy choice, for they either already had such a name, or they used the name of an ali`i of their Island. We of the Mainland Council had a little more difficult time. Howev-er, Ike Ka`aihue, our esteemed O`ahu Council president, gave us a wonderful suggestion: Na Lei Makalapua. He advised us that ma-kalapua suggests a blending or intertwining of many. According to Pukui & Elbert, it also means “blossoming forth!” What an appropri-ate name for us, as we are growing steadily. OTHER names selected and by which each will now be called: O`AHU COUNCIL: KE ONE O KAKUHIHEWA HAWAI`I COUNCIL: MOKU O KEAWE MAUI COUNCIL: NO HONO A`O PI`ILANI KAUA`I COUNCIL: MOKU O MANOKALANIPO A REMINDER that the 2012 Convention of the Association of Hawai-ian Civic Clubs will be hosted by Na Lei Makalapua in our Nation’s Capital from October 14 to October 21.

Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana`ole Pi`ikoi was

born on March 26, 1871 in Koloa on the island of Kaua`i. He was an heir to the Hawaiian throne, but never got there because of the overthrow of the monarchy in 1893. Two years later he was arrested for his part in an attempt to restore the monarchy and spent two years in jail. Prince Kuhio was elected as the Republican delegate to the U. S. Congress, where he served for many years. He is often called Ke Ali`i Makaainana (Prince of the People) and is well known for his efforts to preserve and strength-en the Hawaiian people. In 1919, he sponsored a bill calling for Hawaiian State-hood, 40 years before it became a reality. Perhaps he is best known for the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1921, with the goal of assuring Native Hawaiians would be able to have homes on their native land. Prince Kuhio

founded the first Hawaiian Civic Club in 1918. He died in Honolulu in 1922 at the age of 50. He is buried at Mauna Ala, the Royal Mausoleum in Nu`uana O`ahu. Hau’oli La Hanau Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana`ole Pi`ikoi.

Come join us for a surprise performance at General Meeting!!

EIGHT HAPPY MEMBERS were waiting for Don the Beach-comber's to open and we were salivating for our Kolohe lunch. We waited patiently then impatiently and decided they didn't do lunch (which we found out was so). We looked at a tempting sign, Panda Palace. So Pandas or Koalas, that's where we headed to be rewarded with a tasty Chinese lunch. We each ordered what we wanted and shared with each other. Actually, it was a pleasant change and Rose, Lani, Gil, Lori, Norm, Jay, Jackie and Colonel, just ate and talked until we decided we should let them get ready for their dinner crowd. The best part of these Kolohe luncheons is that we actual-ly get to visit leisurely and talk to our hearts content. We have even started a "satellite luncheon group" and we get together on other Wednesdays and just "keep our lunch light burning." Come join us sometime for great food and delightful conversation. Gil is still the one to contact for

one of these luncheons. Aloha Jackie Judd
