in 1832 and was the Kahu of the historic'lmiola church In Waimea during that time period; a period <br />in which Waimea's landscape was changing due to cattle and other shifts in land -use. In this context <br />Emma Doyle notes the following: <br />"in the old days much of Waimea plateau was covered by a forest largely of the ohia lehua, <br />Accordingly the euphonious nameAluohla (fragrance of the ohia) had been given to a district <br />in Waimea, Myfather frequently used the expression, 'Alaohia nei". It Is true that the name <br />had become unfamiliar as the ohia forest retreated toward Hamakua, but historical fitness <br />not less than appeal to the ear and the imagination urged the acceptance of this old <br />Hawaiian name in place of the time honored but untenable Waimea.' <br />(Doyle 1953:43)1 <br />Figure 3.

To date, the <br />Island of Hawai'l YMCA, The Royal Order of Kamehameha 1, the Rotary Club of North Hawaii and the <br />Waimea Preservation Association (WPA) have been collaboratively maintaining the property for more <br />than 20 years, "Public Access" and "Open Space", are high priorities in their stewardship of the parcel, <br />and protecting these elements is deemed urgent given the trend of development and change that <br />they have been witnessing over the decades. The open space views of the property itself, and of <br />Kohala Mountain and Maunakea are iconic to Waimea, And the multi -purpose sports field is a <br />resource to the youth of this community. <br />Doyle, Enimu L. 1953 Moktia Lainnn:The Story of Lorenzo Lyons, ne Adveniser Publishing Co.
