the decree, said the Kahuna and he immediately began to work his black art. He was told as having prayed to his Gods, the Goddess Pele being the princip girls and the young men were all disposed of. Uluweoweo was turned into a stone, which is seen standing at the edge of the sea to this day. He stands on the shore, his lower limbs firm and fast; and where the upper part is joined to the firm rock in the ground is a grove like door hinge which rocks back-and-forth when the waves dash against it. Kahawalewale, the princess, was turned into a long stone about 30 feet high which stands in the sea. The lower part has two sections; and it is said they represent her legs through which the sea flows continually. Maniniowali, however, was alert and ran and laid down on the sand at the edge of the sea.

You know, itÓs for that reason I wish weÓd just forget using the other name and use Maniniowali. Because Hawaiian folklore and legend is to be respected; and I think this has precedence over that other name. Thank you. SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Paris. Are there any questions or comments from the Commissioners? Mahalo, no komoele. MaÓam? PALMA-GLENNIE:Well, I feel so mundane, I should say, after that great story. IÓm Janice Palma-Glennie and my address is P.O. Box 4849, Kailua-Kon in behalf of the Sierra Club today. Aloha, Commission members. Though the Sierra Club and myself, in particular, have taken part in the public meetings as well as the Kekaha Kai Advisory Task Force gatherings during the past decade concerns regarding the parking and access to the park and in particular to Maniniowali and Awakee. On the park, in regards to parking, due to the burgeoning West Hawaii population, weÓre greatly concerned of the 30 parking stalls allotted for the north and with later addition of only 20 more will in no way satisfy even near future demands for 11
