Dear Viewers and Supporters:

On May 2, 2017, PBS Hawai‘i completed our first full year in the new headquarters provided by individuals; families; businesses; charitable foundations throughout the Islands, California and Maryland; and the Hawai‘i State and Honolulu City governments. These generous gifts have enabled us to have a debt-free facility, and the collective investment drives us, more than ever, to maximize value to the public.

The new spacious, open-concept PBS Hawai‘i building has allowed us to develop an expanded role as a convener. We’ve long been a convener of people and ideas in our programming. Now we also welcome folks into this trusted “bricks and mortar” space.

In line with our mission of advancing learning through storytelling, priority is given to the work of educators and filmmakers. Teachers from public, private and charter schools across the state have met here for training in digital media, journalism and other storytelling; Hawai‘i State Department of Education Complex-Area Superintendents have held talks here; members of the community come at least monthly for free advance screenings and discussions of national and local films; and fellow nonprofit organizations hold mission-related sessions here. All of this has yielded better understanding of what others care about and are doing. And that has led to relationship-building and some budding collaborations.

From Day One in the building, our Board of Directors and Staff, with significant help from college students and volunteers, have been striving for more community engagement and continuous improvement in the work we do for others. As of August, it’s been a pleasure meeting with, and listening to, more than 1,400 individuals, singly and in groups, who have requested tours of the building.

Here are a few highlights of the last year:

– Our Board of Directors adopted a three-year strategic plan. It’s an action-oriented document designed to grow engagement by offering customized content, interactivity and events on multiple platforms. It’s also a commitment to present authentic content that follows our mind, heart and na‘au (gut). We are also moving to increase private support of PBS Hawai‘i, by making Major Gifts, including Planned Giving, a stronger element of our fundraising.

– HIKI NŌ moved closer to becoming an elective course in Hawai‘i’s middle and high schools. The state’s largest public high school, James Campbell High in Ewa Beach, and a feeder school, Ilima Intermediate, are piloting our curriculum.

– HIKI NŌ students, all from public schools, walked away with 20 percent of the awards given out in a large national scholastic journalism competition in Anaheim, California. Thirteen Hawai‘i schools participated. The rigorous competition involved originating and producing quality video stories in an unfamiliar city, on deadline, no excuses.

– PBS Hawai‘i was the presenting TV station of a new national PBS series, Family Ingredients. With our colleagues at Pacific Islanders in Communications and the Hawai‘i-based production company Rock Salt Media, we brought to PBS stations across the country a series of stories combining food, family, genealogy, culture and international travel. – Pacific Heartbeat, another PBS Hawai‘i collaboration with Pacific Islanders in Communications, enjoyed its fifth year as a national PBS series. Viewers see beyond some of the unfamiliar customs and trappings of diverse Pacific Islanders to the heart of their culture and to their lives today.

– The Films of Eddie and Myrna Kamae, From the Heart, was the first-ever on-air, online film festival of the iconic Kamae film collection. The Kamaes have been explorers of a different sort – they looked to the past to inform the future. Their films present striking elements of Hawaiian cultural life and remarkable individuals who navigated difficult transitions. These films were viewed by a global audience, as well as our local community.

– Three months of almost-weekly election forums, without rules inhibiting the flow or limiting follow-up questions. Candidates agreed to engage in civil discourse, with a moderator present to pose viewer questions and ensure follow-up. These conversations among opponents were often more illuminating than structured debates elsewhere.

– The first-ever online, live, multi-island HIKI NŌ Awards program celebrated student achievement. We rejoiced in our organizational ability to use our digital technology in a new way.

We’re grateful to all who support PBS Hawai‘i’s enriching programming, which is not driven by commercialism or politics. Our children’s shows are based on education curriculum, and our priority in newscasts is fact-based, verifiable accounts.

It’s a privilege to do this work, and we are very grateful that our supporters uplift lifelong learning and create new hands-on learning opportunities, especially in the rural, low-income areas that PBS Hawai‘i serves across our island state.

Sincerely,

JASON FUJIMOTO Board Chair

LESLIE WILCOX President and CEO

Hawai‘i is home. Home is here.

Hawai‘i is in our name, our people, our stories and our DNA. Representing and serving our Islands with quality stories and educational content of impact is critical, and at the core of who we are.

PBS Hawai‘i is our Islands’ only public television station, the sole member of the nationally trusted Public Broadcasting Service. We’re also the only locally owned statewide television station in Hawai‘i, led by a Board of Directors from all across the Islands, and a locally based team of management and staff.

Home was an ever-present theme over this last year, as it marks the first full year for PBS Hawai‘i at its new home: 315 Sand Island Access Road in Honolulu. The $30 million goal for our new home was met in 2016, thanks to the support of the Hawai‘i State Government – including the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs – the City and County of Honolulu, charitable foundations, businesses and many individuals from across our Islands. It was truly an inclusive, or kākou, effort.

Home is why we serve.

We at PBS Hawai‘i believe that lifelong education starts at home, and through our educational content for all ages, we serve our Island communities right in their homes. We are the only federally licensed statewide educational broadcaster in the Islands and the only Hawai‘i member of the trusted Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Our mission says it all: We advance learning and discovery with storytelling that profoundly touches lives.

Home is across our Islands.

Regardless of which island you call home, chances are, our broadcast signal reaches you – even to the farthest reaches of our island chain. PBS Hawai‘i’s free, over-the-air transmission reaches farther than that of any other television broadcaster in Hawai‘i, allowing us to serve as many homes as possible.

With two broadcast transmitters on O‘ahu and Maui, along with 12 translators on Kaua‘i and Hawai‘i Island, our broadcasting system provides no-cost broadcast service to six populated islands, including all 25 of the most financially disadvantaged areas in Hawai‘i, as identified by the 2012 U.S. Census. In some of these areas, we are the only available broadcaster. With online and live streaming delivery of locally produced programs, we’re also reaching the world with stories of Hawai‘i.

Home is: Our Local Programming

When you think of home, what comes to mind? Perhaps it’s having a lively discussion with family over the dinner table. Maybe it’s enjoying good music with good company. What about talking story with your kids? Or your neighbors?

It’s these kinds of experiences that PBS Hawai‘i’s locally made programming offers:

– Roundtable discussions on Insights on PBS Hawai‘i

– Traditional Hawaiian music on Na Mele

– Youth community storytelling on HIKI NŌ

– One-on-one oral history storytelling on Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox

– Hawai‘i filmmakers telling Hawai‘i stories on PBS Hawai‘i Presents

– Preserving Hawai‘i’s cultural treasures on The Films of Eddie and Myrna Kamae, From the Heart

– Sharing the stories of Hawai‘i and other Pacific Islands, nationwide, on Pacific Heartbeat

The following section is a summary of last year’s local programming highlights. These programs capture the stories, music, culture, and our never-ending search for understanding – the very things we treasure in our homes.

Home is: Insights on PBS Hawai‘i

Insights on PBS Hawai‘i is the Islands’ only live, primetime, weekly televised community affairs program that gives the entire state the opportunity to engage in discussions affecting all of Hawai‘i. It is a forum in which diverse viewpoints can yield understanding. Residents from the entire state of Hawai‘i are invited to join the conversation.

Insights on PBS Hawai‘i tackled controversial and timely issues, always with the interest and concern of the community at heart. Viewers engaged with us by calling in with their questions and sending them via email and Twitter. As always, Insights on PBS Hawai‘i provided a safe space for critical analysis and civil conversation.

Last year, PBS Hawai‘i also began live-streaming Insights discussions on Facebook Live, in addition to our existing pbshawaii.org live stream. The added stream on Facebook’s live video platform brought our weekly discussions to a new audience, and opened another door for viewers to engage in real time.

Guests and topics are selected in the public interest, with particular thought given to subjects that may not get covered in-depth on commercial media.

Insights highlights from last year include:

ELECTION 2016 – July - November 2016 Five months of weekly Insights discussions were dedicated to key issues and local races leading up to the November 2016 election. This included discussions with candidates from select State House and Senate races; coverage on several of the 20 Charter Amendments that went before O‘ahu voters; and an August 2016 discussion with the three leading candidates for Honolulu Mayor: Kirk Caldwell, Peter Carlisle and Charles Djou.

HAWAI‘I’S FOUR MAYORS – January 2017 Maui County Mayor Alan Arakawa, O‘ahu Mayor Kirk Caldwell, Kaua‘i Mayor Bernard Carvalho and Hawai‘i County Mayor Harry Kim participated in a conversation on the unique issues each of their jurisdictions is facing, and how the counties can work together as part of a unified state.

QUIET TITLE – February 2017 Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s lawsuits to force the sale of kama‘aina land parcels on Kaua‘i – lawsuits that were later dropped – drew fire from the community. This discussion explored the controversy surrounding this practice of settling local land disputes. Featured guests: Dawn Chang - Attorney at Law, Kuiwalu; Kaniela Ing (D) - Hawai‘i State Representative; Paul Nahoa Lucas - Attorney at Law, Kamehameha Schools; and Davianna McGregor - Professor, Ethnic Studies Department, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.

HOW CYBER-SECURE ARE YOU? – March 2017 Your new big-screen smart TV looks innocent enough. But Wikileaks’ latest raft of documents alleged the CIA had created tools to turn smart TVs into bugging devices. Our smartphones and computers can also be targeted by hackers. This discussion revealed that you have more control over these digital intrusions and criminal acts than you might imagine. Featured guests: Gregory Dunn - President, Better Business Bureau of Hawai‘i Inc.; Jody Ito - University of Hawai‘i Information Security Officer; Stanley Lau - Founder, Hawai‘i Tech Support; and Tuan Nguyen - Assistant Special Agent in Charge, FBI Honolulu Division.

HAWAI‘I WAITS AND WONDERS – April 2017 Insights explored the tenuous relationship Hawai‘i has had with President Donald Trump, from the “birther” controversy, to Hillary Clinton’s huge local win, and the State’s lawsuit blocking the President’s travel ban. Featured guests: Robert Gentry - Board Representative, Waikiki Health; Colleen Hanabusa (D) - U.S. House Of Representatives 1st Congressional District; Chris Lee (D) - State Representative, Kailua, Waimanalo; and Jennifer Sabas - Director, Daniel K. Inouye Institute Fund.

SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER – May 2017 The phrase “speak truth to power” is often used to describe an act of courage and non-violence, standing up for what one believes to be the truth, despite resistance from powerful forces. Insights spoke with three community members about the meaning of truth and how it inspired them personally to face powerful opposition. Featured guests: Doug Chin - Hawai‘i Attorney General; Colin Moore - Director, Public Policy Center; Randy Roth - co-author of Broken Trust; and Loretta Sheehan - Honolulu Police Commissioner.

MILLENNIAL RETIREMENT READINESS #SUPERSAVERS – May 2017 Millennials – those born between 1980 and the early 2000s – are on average making less money than Baby Boomers, and their net wealth is about half of Boomers when they were at the same age. However, Millennials are saving more for retirement. Insights examined this phenomenon. Featured guests: Keopu Reelitz - millennial; Makoa Santarini - millennial; Barbara Kim Stanton - Hawai‘i State Director, AARP; and Vernon Wong - Senior Vice President & Manager, Wealth Advisory Division, First Hawaiian Bank.

RAT LUNGWORM – May 2017 A parasite that causes a rare type of meningitis was behind at least 15 reported cases in Hawai‘i as of May 2017. This discussion was a primer on rat lungworm disease, and how the public can lower the risk of contracting the parasite. Featured guests: Susan Jarvi, PhD - Professor, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Hawai‘i at Hilo; Jon Martell, MD - Internist; Virginia Pressler, MD - Director of Health, Hawai‘i State Department of Health; and Laura Travis - rat lungworm disease patient.

THE POWER TO OVERCOME – June 2017 This discussion was preceded by the PBS Hawai‘i broadcast premiere of the documentary Kū Kanaka/Stand Tall. The film told the story of Kanalu Young, who overcame personal tragedy and later emerged as a leader of the Hawaiian community. Four guests shared their stories of finding new meaning and passion for life after tragic events. Featured guests: Evelyn Aczon Hao - retired elementary school principal; Dr. Kainoa Kaneakua - psychologist and marriage and family therapist; Brandon Ragasa - James Campbell High School graduate; and Roy Sakuma - ‘ukulele teacher.

THE AIRBNB-ING OF HAWAI‘I – June 2017 Short-term vacation rental companies like Airbnb are changing the tourism industry. Opponents say illegal vacation rentals drive up housing prices, though proponents say companies like Airbnb have helped stabilized Hawai‘i’s housing market. Featured guests: Lawrence Bartley - Save O‘ahu’s Neighborhoods; Sharlyn Foo - Backpackers Vacation Inns; William Page - Page Marketing, Inc.; and Cade Watanabe - Unite Here Local 5.

Moderator Lara Yamada, and guests Roy Sakuma and Evelyn Aczon Hao, share a light moment prior to a live discussion on a heavy topic – finding new meaning in life after personal tragedy.

Home is: Na Mele

Na Mele is Hawai‘i’s only weekly traditional Hawaiian music program, featuring compositions written in the Hawaiian language. Last year, PBS Hawai‘i welcomed several music artists for new Na Mele episodes.

MAILANI – September 2016 This was the first episode of Na Mele taped at PBS Hawai‘i’s new Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Multimedia Studio. The set’s lush greenery, sunset-colored lighting and water features were a tribute to Mailani’s home on Windward O‘ahu. Among the songs Mailani performed was “Hamama I Ka ‘Iu,” a portrait of Hamama waterfall in Windward O‘ahu’s Waihe‘e Valley. Kau‘i Dalire provided hula accompaniment during Mailani’s performance of “Ka Wai Lehua ‘A‘ala Ka Honua.”

KEAUHOU – October 2016 Zachary Lum (vocals and guitar), Jonah Kahanuola Solatorio (vocals and ukulele) and Nicholas Lum (vocals and bass) are the young men in the music trio, Keauhou. The group’s name translates to “the new or renewed generation,” fitting for a group that performs mid-20th century Hawaiian music with a modern approach. The set, framed by red velvet curtains, white columns and koa furniture, was reminiscent of a bygone era, when Waikīkī was about opulence and old-world splendor. Among the song selections Keauhou performed were “Hanohano Haiku,” “Kahiko Kapalama” and “Aloha Maunalua.” Robert Cazimero of The Brothers Cazimero – and a mentor to the men of Keauhou – also appeared for a guest performance.

KENNETH MAKUAKĀNE – November 2016 Songwriter, record producer and performer Kenneth Makuakāne offered a sentimental and candid performance inside the historic Kawaiaha‘o Church in Honolulu. Kenneth said he draws on vibrant memories and meaningful relationships when he performs. “It’s almost like going back in time,” he said. Among the songs he performed: “‘O Violeka,” an affectionate ballad for his mother; and “Ku‘u Pua Lei Mēlia,” inspired by his experience of sending off his oldest son to college.

Home is: HIKI NŌ

Home may mean something different to each of the students and educators that represent the distinct islands and communities in HIKI NŌ. PBS Hawai‘i’s digital, project-based learning initiative is made up of a statewide network of 90 public, private and charter schools. Students from various neighborhoods across the Islands contribute to a statewide platform to share their regional stories. Their communities and stories may rarely be seen or heard in commercial media.

HIKI NŌ is the only statewide digital literacy and learning initiative of its kind in Hawai‘i and the U.S. PBS Hawai‘i’s flagship educational initiative was specifically designed to address the widening gap between the haves and have nots in Hawai‘i, when drastic cuts in public education left many youth unable to access quality opportunities for growth and development.

Evaluation Findings

Professional evaluators finished their three-year period of gathering quantitative and qualitative data on HIKI NŌ’s impact in Hawai‘i’s classrooms. The findings confirmed that the HIKI NŌ experience offers opportunities for students to develop “real-world skills,” including communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, organization and receiving and applying critical feedback. Of the HIKI NŌ teachers surveyed, 98 percent agreed that “HIKI NŌ has provided new ways to engage a variety of learners in my classroom,” and the same percentage said that “HIKI NŌ has elevated learning standards for my students.”

Curriculum Development

Over the last three years, PBS Hawai‘i has been working with curriculum developers to create a HIKI NŌ educational curriculum that meets Common Core and Hawai‘i State Department of Education standards. The curriculum is on the verge of being accepted by the DOE as an elective course.

Two schools in the Campbell-Kapolei Complex Area in Leeward O‘ahu have committed to piloting the HIKI NŌ curriculum for three years. These two schools are James Campbell High School, which has the largest high school student body in the state; and Ilima Intermediate School, a Title I feeder school. Ilima Intermediate will begin piloting the HIKI NŌ curriculum in Fall 2017; James Campbell High School will begin in Spring 2018.

Last year, a password-protected website was created to map out the HIKI NŌ curriculum. The website will be made available to the two pilot schools and all HIKI NŌ teachers who request access to it.

Of the HIKI NŌ teachers surveyed, 98 percent agreed that “HIKI NŌ has provided new ways to engage a variety of learners in my classroom,” and the same percentage said that “HIKI NŌ has elevated learning standards for my students.”

The 2017 HIKI NŌ Awards

PBS Hawai‘i recognized outstanding student work at the 2017 HIKI NŌ Awards on Saturday, March 11, 2017. The awards program was presented via live stream from PBS Hawai‘i’s studio, out to five simultaneous community events across the island chain – making this an unprecedented and ambitious project for PBS Hawai‘i. Additional live streams via Google Hangouts also allowed guests at the five sites across four islands to interact with the awards hosts at PBS Hawai‘i’s studio on O‘ahu.

This way of bringing multiple islands together emphasized HIKI NŌ’s strength as a statewide program that bridges diverse communities. It also helped save on travel costs, allowing students and educators from the program’s public, private and charter schools to celebrate on their home islands.

PBS Hawai‘i fed a live stream of award presenters Leslie Wilcox, PBS Hawai‘i President and CEO, and Aaron Salā, PBS Hawai‘i Board Member, from our studio to five sites across the Islands, where students, educators and their guests convened:

– GVS Transmedia Accelerator - Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i Island

– Kaua‘i Marriott - Līhu‘e, Kaua‘i

– McCoy Studio Theater at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center - Kahului, Maui

– Palikū Theatre at Windward Community College - Kane‘ohe, O‘ahu

– Waiākea High School - Hilo, Hawai‘i Island

At each site, HIKI NŌ student crews documented the event, and site producers communicated with crew at PBS Hawai‘i’s studio to coordinate activities. Each of the winning student teams received gold, silver or bronze medals for their schools. Reactions of the winners and audience at each site were streamed back to PBS Hawai‘i for the in-studio hosts to react to, and were recorded for later use.

Highlights from the awards event were compiled in a two-part HIKI NŌ special that aired on PBS Hawai‘i, and are available to view at pbshawaii.org, the PBS app and PBS Hawai‘i’s YouTube channel.

Home is: Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox

Part of what makes Hawai‘i home is our “talk story” tradition. It’s the glue that holds together the people of our Islands, who come from a broad spectrum of cultures, backgrounds and walks of life. Preserving the oral histories from a diverse range of Hawai‘i’s people is the premise behind the intimate conversations with our President and CEO, Leslie Wilcox.

Here is the complete list of guests who were featured on new episodes of Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox last year:

Glenn Medeiros, former pop music star and current private school president (July 2016). In this conversation, Medeiros recounted his humble childhood on Kaua‘i. It wouldn’t quite prepare him for the international fame he would achieve as a pop music star. After years in the music industry, he said he turned his attention toward Hawai‘i’s education system, leading him to his current position as President of Saint Louis School in Honolulu.

Monica Toguchi, restaurateur (August 2016). Toguchi talked about changing her career plans to take on her family’s restaurant business, Highway Inn, which has two locations on O‘ahu. Best known for their local and Hawaiian food, Highway Inn began as a humble Waipahu diner 70 years ago. Today, the business also serves a city clientele, in the booming high-rise Kaka‘ako district. Toguchi is charting the restaurant’s evolution into the future.

Bryan Andaya, restaurateur (August 2016). Andaya said that his ability to manage conflict with civility and diplomacy came at an early age while growing up on Hawai‘i Island. His knack for problem-solving became essential as a young lawyer, and eventually, as the Vice President and Chief Operations Officer of L&L Franchise, Inc., the global parent company of restaurant brands L&L Drive-Inn and L&L Hawaiian Barbeque.

Mick Kalber, volcano videographer (September 2016). Kalber talked about moving to Hawai‘i Island on a whim after a successful but draining career in television. He would confront the most creative and destructive of muses: the Kilauea volcano. A self-described “volcanographer,” Kalber has spent the past 30 years capturing one of the longest volcanic eruptions in recent history through the lens of a video camera, while hovering in a helicopter above the 2,000˚F lava flows.

Shep Gordon, talent manager (September 2016). Throughout his career, Gordon has cultivated relationships with rock stars, actors and culinary legends founded on trust and compassion. However, navigating the world of fame and chaotic lifestyles took a toll. Gordon talked about how he has found solace on Maui, where he has helped to shape Hawai‘i’s fusion cuisine.

Sam Kamaka Jr. and Fred Kamaka Sr., ‘ukulele manufacturers (October 2016). The Kamakas are second-generation owners of Kamaka Hawaii, an ‘ukulele crafter that’s been in business for 100 years. The brothers talked about how life initially took them far from Hawai‘i and their father’s ‘ukulele factory. Their life paths eventually brought them back to the factory, where they have worked to perfect their craft and “take care of the customer,” as their father, Sam Sr., used to say.

Kimi Werner, national spearfishing champion (two-part episode, October and November 2016). As a child growing up in Ha‘ikū, Maui, Werner recalled happy memories of floating on the ocean’s surface as her father free-dived below, hunting for the family’s fish dinner. Werner would later discover her own passion for free diving and spearfishing, becoming the U.S. National Spearfishing Champion in 2008. However, she turned away from competition in favor of a more holistic relationship with the ocean. Werner shared how her underwater experiences have informed her life on land in profound ways. She recounted a swim alongside a great white shark and how it shifted her perspective on her place in the ecosystem.

Ed Ginoza, retired science teacher (November 2016). Ginoza reflected on his experiences growing up in a plantation village in West Maui. It’s where his values would take shape, including his enduring belief that everyone is equal and should be treated fairly. Ginoza earned top Hawai‘i teaching awards for piquing the interest of many Maui High School students in chemistry and physics. In retirement, Ginoza has coached teams from Maui High to victory in the Hawai‘i Science Bowl six times.

Jimmy Lee, Pearl Harbor witness (December 2016). Lee, who lived on his family’s farm a mile from the waters of Pearl Harbor, was only 11 years old when the Japanese Navy attacked O‘ahu on December 7, 1941. He recalled making eye contact with a Japan bomber pilot who flew over the farm, and of watching ships burn in the harbor. Lee described what it was like to live under martial law, and talked about his decades-long search for a best friend, whose family vanished after the attack.

Jeannette Paulson Hereniko, film festival founding director (January 2017). Hereniko said she discovered the joy and the power of storytelling as a little girl seeking relief from household troubles. The Founding Director of the Hawaii International Film Festival shared how her love of storytelling continues to inspire and drive her.

Harry Tsuchidana, abstract artist (January 2017). Tsuchidana’s love of art would carry him far in life, but it would hardly be a straight path. He recounted his winding life journey, which took him far beyond his childhood on a small Waipahu farm, to the U.S. Marines, Washington, D.C. and eventually, New York City.

Michael Titterton, former public radio president (February 2017). Born into a struggling family in the East End of London, books and radio offered young Titterton a glimpse into a different life. Titterton recalled his journey to Hawai‘i, driven by his curiosity about new places and his expertise in public radio “turnarounds.” Under his leadership as President and General Manager, Hawai‘i Public Radio has grown into the statewide, trusted radio network it is today. In 2016, Titterton stepped down from the position after 17 years.

Paul and Grace Atkins, natural history documentarians (February 2017). This Valentine’s Day episode featured a couple that embarked on a life of adventure and purpose. Partners in both life and career, the Atkinses have produced natural history documentaries that tell the stories of our planet in breathtaking, never-before-seen ways. They said they have done “whatever it takes” to capture the elements they need, including camping in remote and dangerous locales – and supported each other every step of the way.

Kevin Matsunaga, public school media teacher (March 2017). Matsunaga, from Kaua‘i, said he never imagined he’d take after his educator father. The younger Matsunaga found his calling as the digital media teacher at Chiefess Kamakahelei Middle School in Līhu‘e. Over the years, Matsunaga’s students have brought home many awards from national video competitions. The Hawai‘i State Department of Education recognized Matsunaga with a District Teacher of the Year award in 2007.

Kent Keith, university president and author (March 2017). Keith’s career has encompassed an assortment of prominent positions, with an overarching theme: a mission of helping others find meaning in their lives. As a college student, he wrote Anyway: The Paradoxical Commandments, a book that continues to resonate. Keith recounted a career path that’s been anything but traditional. Today, as President of Pacific Rim Christian University in Honolulu, he said he works to inspire those around him to live a life of faith, service and continuous learning.

Roland Cazimero, musician (April 2017). Cazimero grew up in a musical family in Kalihi and started performing at a young age, well before he and his brother Robert launched themselves to great success as The Brothers Cazimero. Roland was a master of the 12-string guitar and a singer-songwriter. He talked about how he was a kolohe (mischievous) kid, and that he grew up as a rebellious, free-spirited adult, with “hoodlums” as friends. Cazimero shared how new faith, family and the support of his wife, Lauwa‘e, helped him manage heart disease and diabetes, and face his mortality. Cazimero passed away on July 16, 2017, making this Cazimero’s final television interview.

Sacha Pfeiffer, journalist (May 2017). Pfeiffer was part of The Boston Globe Spotlight investigative team, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 2003 for exposing the Roman Catholic Church’s cover-up of clergy sex abuse. The story behind the reporting was made into the 2015 Oscar-winning film, Spotlight. This episode used excerpts from a February 2017 community conversation in Honolulu about the importance of asking difficult questions – even when the answers threaten the fabric of close-knit communities.

Florence “Johnny” Frisbie, author (two-part episode, May 2017). Frisbie was only 15 years old when she published her first autobiography in 1948. Miss Ulysses from Puka-Puka is an account of her life on remote Pukapuka, an atoll that’s a part of the Cook Islands in the South Pacific. Frisbie’s curiosity took her far beyond her remote Pacific island home. She discussed her wide-ranging travels and her decision to settle in New Zealand to raise a family. She eventually revisited Pukapuka, which is now gravely threatened by rising sea levels, and the rapid loss of ancient culture and language.

Henry Rice (June 2017), Maui rancher. Rice, a direct descen dant of a Hawai‘i missionary family, described himself as a Caucasian whose culture is Hawaiian. He has deep roots in Upcountry Maui and he became accustomed at a young age to working alongside the paniolo of his family’s Kaonoulu Ranch. It’s the centerpiece of one of the few nearly intact ahupua‘a left in Hawai‘i. Ranching is a tough business. But with Rice’s experience in the Honolulu banking industry and fresh approaches from a new family generation, the ranch keeps going, outliving previously dominant island industries such as sugar.

Dr. Elliot Kalauawa, public health medical director (June 2017). Dr. Kalauawa talked about his highly unconventional childhood. Growing up without a father figure, mostly in public housing in Honolulu, he said he was often left alone while his mother went off to drink and gamble. Now Chief Medical Officer at the nonprofit organization Waikiki Health, Dr. Kalauawa said his childhood circumstances never left him feeling deprived, neglected, or bitter. Rather, he said, he always felt his mother’s love. His experiences fueled his drive to enter the medical field and help others. After three decades at Waikiki Health, he said he still enjoys treating a range of patients, including those who have no ability to pay.

With our host Hawaiian culture, the amalgamation of Asian, Pacific and Western cultures, and a complex history, it comes as no surprise that Hawai‘i would be rich with stories. PBS Hawai‘i Presents harnesses our Islands’ storytelling traditions with a statewide platform for filmmakers, offering thoughtful and informed perspectives about Hawai‘i’s history and culture.

Last year, PBS Hawai‘i Presents showcased three new films. Though they differ in subject matter, all three looked to the past to help inform our future.

THE HAWAIIAN ROOM (January 2017). The Hawaiian Room was an oasis of Hawaiian culture and entertainment in the heart of New York City, housed in the famed Lexington Hotel. Between 1937 and 1966, hundreds of dancers, singers and musicians from Hawai‘i were recruited to perform at the entertainment venue. In this documentary, more than 20 former performers spoke candidly and fondly of their experience at the historic nightclub, and the culture shock of moving from Hawai‘i to New York City.

THE ROOTS OF ‘ULU (March 2017). This documentary traced the mythological origins of ‘ulu, its journey from Tahiti to Hawai‘i on Polynesian voyaging canoes, and modern efforts to revitalize breadfruit as a possible solution to food shortages. Native practitioners, medical specialists and agricultural experts have a shared vision of the ‘ulu tree playing an important role in cultural preservation, health restoration and food sustainability for Hawai‘i’s future.

KŪ KANAKA/STAND TALL (June 2017). In August 1969, 15-year-old Terry Kanalu Young became a quadriplegic after a diving accident. Initially bitter about his circumstances, he eventually realized that his rage could destroy him – or he could learn a great lesson from it. This film explored Young’s life journey, from a Hawaiian history student to an activist and community leader, and how he used his insights about identity and trauma to offer hope to dispossessed Native Hawaiians.

Home is: Eddie and Myrna Kamae

The late Eddie Kamae was a Renaissance man. Well known for his vast musical contributions and for his role in the resurgence of traditional Hawaiian music and culture, he was also a filmmaker dedicated to documenting Hawai‘i’s cultural treasures for future generations. With his wife Myrna as producer, they sought to capture and uplift the voices of Hawai‘i’s legacies. They eventually founded the nonprofit Hawaiian Legacy Foundation, which aims to perpetuate the cultural heritage of Hawai‘i.

Eddie Kamae passed away at the age of 89 on January 7, 2017. PBS Hawai‘i proudly partnered with Hawaiian Legacy Foundation in presenting The Films of Eddie and Myrna Kamae, From the Heart. The on-air and online film festival showcased the ten award-winning documentaries in The Hawaiian Legacy Series, with films released between 1988 and 2007. PBS Hawai‘i President and CEO Leslie Wilcox, and acclaimed musician and PBS Hawai‘i Board Member Aaron J. Salā hosted the four-day television broadcast. The films were also available to stream on PBS Hawai‘i’s website and the PBS mobile app for one week.

Myrna Kamae said: “Eddie and I dedicated our energy to the films we created together and as they were released, we enjoyed the success each and every one of them achieved on every level. PBS Hawai‘i takes the lead in cultural programing and embraces this timeless material. I can hear Eddie saying ‘Ho‘omau, Ho‘omau,’ and thanks to PBS Hawai‘i, we continue to provide a window into a time and place that many people have yet to discover.”

The film festival celebrated the Kamaes as visionary cinematic storytellers who understood the value and urgency in preserving Hawai‘i’s cultural traditions. The films below are listed in order of their airdate on PBS Hawai‘i:

LI‘A: THE LEGACY OF A HAWAIIAN MAN (1988) This award-winning documentary celebrates the music and spirit of Sam Li‘a Kalainaina, a performer and composer shaped by his home in remote Waipi‘o Valley on Hawai‘i Island.

THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE: THE MUSICAL JOURNEY OF EDDIE KAMAE (2009) The Kamae’s final documentary recounts Eddie’s own journey of musical self-discovery, a journey that led him to some of the most well-respected gatekeepers of the Hawaiian Renaissance and grew into a 50-year pursuit of Hawaiian cultural and musical traditions.

LAHAINA: WAVES OF CHANGE (2007) In 1999, Lahaina’s plantation era came to an end with the closing of the West Maui town’s Pioneer Mill, the beating heart of Lahaina’s sugar industry. This film documents the last harvest, the last cane burning and the final days of operation at the mill, revealing a town with great historical and sacred significance, as well as the persistence to thrive into the future.

THE HISTORY OF THE SONS OF HAWAII (2000) Surveying 40 years of Hawai‘i’s rich musical traditions, this film tells the story of the Sons of Hawaii, the music group led by Eddie Kamae that helped launch the Hawaiian cultural renaissance.

KI HO‘ALU: SLACK KEY, THE HAWAIIAN WAY (1993) A collection of candid interviews and archival images, combined with the music of an array of virtuoso performers, this film tells the story of Hawaiian slack key. It depicts how this unique style of playing has become fundamental to Hawai‘i’s musical, cultural and familial traditions.

LUTHER KAHEKILI MAKEKAU: A ONE KINE HAWAIIAN MAN (1997) Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Hawaii International Film Festival, this film constructs a rich portrait of a colorful and controversial Hawaiian man. Born on Maui in 1890 during the reign of King Kalākaua, Luther Makekau was part philosopher and part outlaw, a chanter, singer and poet, as well as a fighter and a cattle rustler, known throughout the islands for both his passion and his rebellious nature.

LISTEN TO THE FOREST (1991) An environmental documentary that traces the destruction of Hawai‘i’s rainforests, this film calls for preservation and a return to the ecological wisdom that guided traditional Hawaiians’ connection to the land.

HAWAIIAN VOICES: BRIDGING PAST TO PRESENT (1998) This documentary honors the role of kupuna in preserving Hawaiian culture, and taps into the valuable memories and perspectives of three respected Hawaiian elders whose lives bridged the transition from older times into the late 20th century.

WORDS, EARTH & ALOHA: THE SOURCE OF HAWAIIAN MUSIC (1995) Featuring some of Hawai‘i’s most respected cultural resources and talented performers, this documentary pays tribute to composers who flourished between the 1870s and the 1920s. The film looks closely at Hawaiian lyrics and the places that inspired them, and charts the evolution of Hawaiian music with the introduction of imported musical forms.

KEEPERS OF THE FLAME: THE CULTURAL LEGACY OF THREE HAWAIIAN WOMEN (2005) The lives of three extraordinary Hawaiian women, Mary Kawena Pukui, ‘Iolani Luahine and Edith Kanaka‘ole, are chronicled in this film. It shows how, together, they combined their talents and commitment to reignite the flame of tradition in a time when Hawaiian culture was gravely threatened.

Home is: Pacific Heartbeat

For a sixth season, PBS Hawai‘i proudly partnered with Pacific Islanders in Communications to present Pacific Heartbeat, a nationally distributed series made of authentic stories about Hawai‘i and the Pacific Islands.

Pacific Heartbeat brings the people, cultures, languages, music and issues of the Pacific to the national public television audience. The five films in this season highlighted struggles, values and victories that draw people together and make Pacific cultures unique.

VISIONS IN THE DARK: THE LIFE OF PINKY THOMPSON This film is a Hawaiian story of pain, promise, challenge, triumph and leadership. Sustaining a serious eye wound in Normandy during WWII that left him in the dark for two years, Myron “Pinky” Thompson emerged with a clear vision of his purpose in life. Thompson would go on to be a social worker, mentor and revered leader in the Native Hawaiian community who left a legacy of positive social change, pride in Pacific heritage and a strong sense of native identity among Hawaiians that flourishes today.

EVER THE LAND This film explores the sublime bond between people and their land. For the past 150 years, the relationship between the Tūhoe Maori tribe and the New Zealand government has been defined by longstanding grievances over severe colonization experiences. The film captures a period of change in 2014, when the Tūhoe’s ancestral homelands were returned, the New Zealand government issued an official apology, and the Tūhoe built the first-ever “Living Building” in New Zealand as a testament to their values and vision of self-governance.

MELE MURALS This film is about the transformative power of art through the unlikely union of graffiti and ancient Hawaiian culture. At the center of the story are two renowned street artists – Estria Miyashiro (a.k.a. Estria) and John Hina (a.k.a. Prime) – a group of Native Hawaiian youth, and the rural community of Waimea on Hawai‘i Island. The story shows how public art and Native Hawaiian traditions transform the artists, students and community.

NEXT GOAL WINS In 2001, American Samoa suffered a world record 31-0 defeat at the hands of Australia, garnering headlines across the world as the worst football (soccer) team on the planet. This film is an inspirational story about the power of hope in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, and an object lesson in what it really means to be a winner in life.

SPLASH AND BUBBLES: NEW MARINE SCIENCE SERIES FOR KIDS Last year, PBS KIDS introduced the animated program Splash and Bubbles to its lineup. A co-production of The Jim Henson Company and Herschend Enterprises, Splash and Bubbles is designed to encourage kids ages 4-7 to explore the natural undersea world. Developed with an advisory panel of top marine biologists, digital innovators and educators, Splash and Bubbles is grounded in a marine biology curriculum that focuses on themes of diversity, individuality, interconnectedness and the celebration of learning and discovery. The series also introduces the concepts of ecological balance and the importance of taking care of the ocean.

Funded in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Splash and Bubbles follows the adventures of Splash, a yellow fusilier fish who has traveled all over the ocean before settling down in Reeftown. There, he befriends Bubbles, a Mandarin dragonet whose vivid orange and electric blue coloring matches her outgoing personality. Until Splash came along, Bubbles and most of the other Reeftown residents had no idea what lived beyond the cozy confines of their coral walls. Together, Splash, Bubbles and their friends explore the world’s undersea habitats, make new friends and learn about the many different ways life looks like and lives in the ocean, celebrating the importance of diversity along the way.

Technical Advances in Our New Home

Over the last year, PBS Hawai‘i’s broadcast engineers have become adept with the digital technology, technical systems and equipment in our new home. Several major improvements were made to our technology infrastructure that will allow us to better serve our communities statewide with our content.

Producing and Delivering Our Local Programs

Programs that are recorded in our Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Multimedia Studio, including Insights on PBS Hawai‘i, Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox and Na Mele, are using new interconnection equipment, paired with our existing cameras and audio/video switchers from our previous Mānoa facility. With on-location shoots for Na Mele, we have been setting up a mini control room, including a switcher, audio console and camera control area, and we have integrated new equipment.

The audio console in the Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Multimedia Studio

53



The broadcast signal for our live, weekly show, Insights on PBS Hawai‘i, is sent to our Centralcast hub in New York, encoded, and sent right back to Hawai‘i for air. This process to transmit live studio content onto our air occurs within seconds, and our broadcast signal suffers no degradation.

Upon our move last summer, the Hawai‘i-to-New York fiber link initially presented issues that affected our audio and video broadcast quality. With the help of our vendors, the technical interconnectivity issues were resolved.

Joint Master Control

CentralCast, our remote Master Control partner, has continuously been encoding and sending us a broadcast ready signal via IP. PBS Hawai‘i engineers working with Joint Master Control in Syracuse, NY, review playlists and media content residing on servers in Syracuse. This partnership has helped us successfully deploy the remote master control model, which reduces infrastructure costs. This model is becoming more commonplace in the television industry.

File-Based Storage

PBS Hawai‘i is transitioning to file-based storage for video content – a departure from using traditional videotape. Last year, PBS Hawai‘i rolled out an internal media asset management system to catalog video files for editing and archival purposes. On-air content produced by our editors is sent directly to CentralCast via file transfer. The process of recording a tape copy of video clips will no longer be necessary, saving on station costs and improving production workflow and efficiency.

54



Photovoltaic System

A photovoltaic system has been installed on the rooftop of our new home, helping us offset some of our energy costs and do our part in being more environmentally conscious. Most of the free space on our rooftop is now fitted with solar panels.

Workers install photovoltaic panels on PBS Hawai‘i’s rooftop.
