Neighbors in Ala Moana, Kalihi Valley and 'Ewa will kick off an effort tomorrow to recruit help for the two-year-long Neighborhood Kokua Project. What's a neighbor to do? Well, there's the Hoala Makiki Stream project, cleaning in and around the stream at the King Street and Kalakaua Avenue intersection. Out Kalihi way, the project, linked with the Kuhio Community Coalition, is painting over graffiti and patrolling the area afterward. But you need to get up early to be a good neighbor: Tomorrow's projects begin at 8:30 a.m. and run to 11 a.m. Information: Reina Miyamoto, 223-5171.



BOOK



SURF'S UP IN NEW PUBLICATION

Duke Kahanamoku riding the waves at Waikiki Beach, the legendary barrels at Banzai Pipeline and the giant winter waves at infamous Waimea Bay are among the images included in the new Bishop Museum Press book, "Surfing: Images from Bishop Museum Archives," by DeSoto Brown ($14.95). "Surfing" includes more than 200 images from Hawai'i's surfing history — most have never been published before. It is available at Bishop Museum's Shop Pacifica and other bookstores throughout Hawai'i.
