forced us to return to Honolulu for
the day, missing the Island of
Nawiliwili, Kauai. That next
evening we sailed out and headed
toward the big Island of Hawaii with
porting one day each in Kona and
Hilo. The great volcanic mountains
that separate East and West Hawaii
are more than just a visual barrier.
In blocking the tradewinds and
rainbearing clouds from reaching
Kona, they have created a very
different landscape and a drier,
sunnier climate. It was the quiet
village of Kailua-Kona, at the base
of Mt. Hualalai, where King
Kamehameha returned in 1813 to
spend the last years of his life.
Kailua is dominated by the spire of
Mokauaikaua Church, first in the
Islands when it opened in 1837. Our
group did different things this day,
some just tendered ashore and
toured the town, while others took
the tour toward beautiful blue
Kealakehua Bay, where Capt.
James Cook, Western discoverer of
the islands, lost his life.
The next stop was by St.
Benedict’s Church, known as the
“Painted Church” for its dramatic

Learn about hobbies, square
dancing, playing cards, dominos and
bingo, or maybe just come dine with
us and enjoy the friendly
atmosphere, meet new friends and
try some of Gloria Obst’s home
cooking.
Our benefactors have been very
generous to us. Their desserts are
fantastic and very helpful,
especially since the Center is
preparing approximately 120 to 140
meals daily. Special thanks to
NCNB, Frost Bank, Town and
Country Manor, Hill Country
Bakery, Bijou Pizza, and the Alpha
Beta Tau Sororities for your
kindness and support.
We need volunteers to deliver
meals to the seniors that are home
bound and unable to come to the
center. If you could help us out one
day a week give us a call. No pay,
but very rewarding!
The Beethoven Concert in March,
and the Garage Sale in April were
both a success and the center was a
perfect place to have them. Thanks
to everyone who made this possible.
All the folks at the Rainbow
Senior Center wish to express our
sincere thanks for the generous
donation given to us by United Way.
This donation will be a great help to
us, as we are now getting settled
into our new home. Again, we say
thank you for your kindness and
support.
Time to go now, need to get ready
for all the action. See you next time.

Popular Christian contemporary
recording artist Cynthia Clawson
and her husband, Ragan Courtney,
will lead the First Baptist Church
“GOODNEWS Party” April 28
through May 1 at the church, School
and High Streets.
Clawson has been awarded the
Dove Award from her peers in
Christian music. “She is a popular
Christian concert artist, traveling
worldwide in her ministry. With
many recordings to her credit,
Cynthia’s specialty is singing
familiar hymns with new interpre-
tations. She is much in demand and
will sing at the church at both
morning services and the evening
service the 28th and at the
concluding service May 1,” said a
church spokesperson.
Courtney is the author of the
popular Christian musical,
“Celebrate Life”, among other
days. These days were free to do
more touring, shopping, swimming
on the beaches and even square-
dancing was enjoyed one evening. ■:

This beautifully maintained national

part in the lives of ancient
Hawaiians and was a truly fasci-
nating park featuring many aspects
of the old Hawaiian life style, others
took the Atlantis Submarine
venture of a breathtaking world of

The next day we ported in Hilo,
Hawaii. It was in Hilo, September
1796, that King Kamehameha
fought one of the last battles that
would ensure his control of Hawaii.
Tours of craters, the Volcanoes
National Park, Macadamiom Nut
Farm, Tropical Botanical Gardens
and a wonderful flight over the
volcanoes by helicopter were the
highlights of this Island.
Our next two-day port was Maui,
the “Valley Isle”. Maui itself was
formed by two great volcanoes,
Haleakala and West Maui.
Haleakala is by far the larger of the
two. Ranked as one of the most
massive mountains on earth, its
volume exceeds that of Mount
Everett by more than 50 times.
Maui is a stunning combination of
lush mountains, stark volcanic
craters, gold to white sand beaches
and luminous tropic seas.
There was such a variety of tours

Highway Drive, rich in Hawaiian
folklore, abundant in vegetation and
