BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAI`L• SECTION 1. Purpose. Clarence Lum-Won was born on December 13, 1938 in Kainaliu, Kona. Although the third oldest child, he was put in charge of the family household. During the late 1950's through the 1960's, he was an entertainer with Hawaiian Airlines. He then worked for over twenty years in the construction industry until he became disabled. Because of his extraordinary dedication and hard work for the last ten years his dream of turning the baseball field at Kona Scenic Park into afirst-class facility has become a reality. Helped with donations from the Kona community, Clarence sacrificed personal resources and countless hours of labor to improve the ball field. Improvement projects included the construction of backstops, dugouts, picnic tables, scorekeeper and equipment sheds and goal posts. Other improvements included landscaping and the installation of fencing and gates. In spite of all these improvements, Clarence, with aloha and humility, still says that there are still things which need to be done. The purpose of this ordinance is ±o recognize and commemorate in perpetuity the many years of dedication and hard work that Clarence Lum-Won contributed towards the improvement of Kona Scenic Park, which is hereby named in his honor, pursuant to Chapter 15, Article 8, Section 15-67 of the Hawaii County Code of 1983, which establishes guidelines for the naming of county parks and recreation facilities.
