Another successful pledge drive, back when we were called Hawaii Public Television, circa 1980.


Ever try one of those disconcerting exercises like rubbing your belly and patting your head at the same time? That’s what it felt

like, facing the microphone when I was an eighth-grader competing in Hawaii’s statewide spelling bee. I empathize every year with the new crop of district spelling champs, some of whom are still in grade school and must comport themselves in a foreign world of bright studio lights, TV cables and prominent adult judges. A statewide bee is not just a test of spelling; it is a challenge in personal composure as students picture words in their head, rather than write them out. As they spell out loud, they need to speak up and speak clearly and remember where they are at any given time, lest they inadvertently repeat a letter. When they’re given a word they’ve never heard of,

you can practically see their minds rushing to calculate the language origin and translate how that plays into the word make-up. If the students are like my eighth-grade self, they also must deal with distracting random thoughts: Where’s my

auntie in the audience? Am I sweating? Oh no...is that judge glaring at me? The 2014 aio Hawaii State Spelling Bee will be held in our PBS Hawaii studio at 7:00 pm on Saturday, March 22, and will be televised live, statewide. To this day, despite the alien circumstances, students acquit themselves well.

One never knows how a bee will go, but if the competition at district levels this year is an indication, this championship contest may be a doozy. For example, take the 54-round, two-speller duel on Hawaii Island. The finalists, Christianne Abella of Konawaena Middle School, and Hope Kudo of Kealakehe Intermediate School, exhausted all of the words on the pronouncer’s list – so the two were declared co-champions of the island. They’ll partici-pate in the state bee with a dozen other young district champs from across the islands. You’re invited to see Hawaii’s youth face the challenge this month on live television. If I were a betting person, I’d lay odds that the competition will be more exciting than last month’s lopsided Super Bowl!

A hui hou,

More Than a Spelling Test

In this time of unfiltered banter and bullying on social media, public television offers a welcome respite with civil panel discussions of the issues of the day. That is exemplified

locally with the weekly Thursday broadcast of Insights on PBS Hawaii.

Co-producers Suzanne Roig and Treena Shapiro prepare their shows weeks in advance on what timely topics will be covered on Insights. Draw-ing on their years as respected newspaper reporters, if there is any particular issue that needs more immediate coverage – such as the recent heated debate over marriage equality at the State Legislature – it will be covered on Insights as soon as possible.

Compared to national cable news operations with particular political agendas, PBS Hawaii hews to the tried-and-true fair-and-balanced approach.

“When we put our panels together, we try to find guests with differing views on the week’s issue,” Treena says. “If it’s a controversial issue where guests will be taking sides, we make sure the panel is balanced, both for fairness and to make sure that no one feels ganged up on.

“For example, our marriage equality show featured two panelists who supported same-sex marriage and two who were opposed, but within those broad guidelines, we also made sure it was balanced along party lines with one Democratic lawmaker and one Republican. On this issue, we wanted to include faith perspec-tives, so we found a church leader who had testified against the new law and another who had supported it,” Treena says.

Opposite page, from top: County Mayors Alan Arakawa (Maui), Bernard Carvalho (Kauai), Kirk Caldwell (Hono-lulu) and Billy Kenoi (Hawaii) sit down with moderator Malia Mattoch for a recent Insights discussion; Insights director Joy Chong- Stannard makes final production adjustments inside the control room.



Recently, Mayors Alan Arakawa (Maui), Kirk Caldwell (Honolulu), Bernard Carvalho (Kauai) and Billy Kenoi (Hawaii Island) gathered together to get ready for an hour’s worth of interesting talk and viewer questions and comments.The may-ors were booked two hours before airtime. The producers are going over possible questions and topics to bring up during the show with the evening’s moderator, Malia Mattoch, while she’s in makeup. With tablets

and folders of clippings in hand, Suzanne, Treena and Malia go over all current public concerns each of the mayors are handling in their respective counties.

Director Joy Chong-Stannard then takes the producers to the control room down the hall to make sure that the mayors’ names and titles are correct. In the hallway just outside the control room, volunteers will field viewer call-in questions from a phone bank set on a long table.

Malia and the mayors go into the studio 15 minutes before airtime to rehearse the open for Joy and her camera crew, making any last-minute script adjustments on the TelePrompter. The congenial mayors then share a supportive fist-bump in the middle of the table, and Insights is live on the air.

The producers, director and execu-tive producer Roy Kimura work in sync behind the scenes during the broadcast. Floor director Glenn

Yamamoto floats between the studio and the phone bank to give the index cards of questions to Suzanne and Treena first to determine which questions would either help further whatever discussion is happening on air at the time, or bring up new topics. Glenn then takes those cards into the studio to hand them over to Malia while she is off-camera.

With lively talk over such topics as GMOs, Oahu’s impending rail sys-tem, electric grid interconnectivity, homelessness, legalization of mari-juana and statewide water rights, it makes for a quick hour. Whatever possible spillover that occurs is saved as bonus “after the show” video that will be posted on PBSHawaii.org.

Overall, it’s a good night for everyone concerned, proving once again that Insights on PBS Hawaii makes for a great live news forum and shows what public television can do to serve the islands’ communities.

“I am beyond grateful for the natural beauty that surrounds me here,” says longtime Maui resident Dr. Wayne Dyer. “If you’ve ever experienced the serene beauty of Hawaii, you’ll know how it feels to look out across the water and breathe in the warm, fragrant air.” In perhaps the most personal program of his career, Dyer will offer an intimate and revealing conversation about the events in his own life – from his childhood in Detroit to the present day. He

vividly relates in unflinching detail his impressions of encountering forks in the road and takes viewers with him through these formative experiences. Dyer will also reveal what he has learned from his own experiences: there are no accidents, and all the choices we make and actions we take weave a life tapestry uniquely our own.

investigate more works of art with mysteri-ous origins. They begin by examining a painting that owner Patrick Rice believes is by Edgar Degas. If correct, it could be worth about £500,000. Although Patrick’s father bought it from a reputable dealer in 1945, the piece failed to make the official catalogue of the artist’s work – meaning it is not classed as genuine by auction houses and is currently valued at only £200. Fiona and Philip trace the artwork back through time to find out whether it really was cre-ated by one of France’s greatest artists.

WILCOX Michael Broderick Michael Broderick – born in Texas, raised in Philadelphia, working in Los Angeles – received a sign while attending a game at Aloha Stadium with his Hawaii-born wife. That sign, in the form of a message on the scoreboard that exemplified the aloha spirit, convinced Michael to move his family to Hawaii. As a result of that sign, Michael Broderick has been able to help the families and youth of Hawaii.

He has recorded more than 70 albums. His fame stretches from Tokyo to Paris. And he was one of the pioneers of the ukulele as a solo instrument. Now Herb “ohta-San” ohta demonstrates his ukulele mastery on an hour-long Na Mele, premiering March 27 at 9:00 pm on PBS Hawaii Presents. Ironically, the world may never have had the opportunity to enjoy Ohta-San’s ukulele virtuosity, if it weren’t for a condition affecting an important sense for musicians – hearing. “I came out of the military,” Ohta-San

remembers. “My sister was working for Pan American Airways and she told me that there’s a job for me. They gave me a written test. I passed that. Then they gave me a physical. I failed that. I couldn’t hear high frequency.” Unable to re-enlist in the military,

Ohta-San met with former St. Louis classmate and Decca Records distributor, Galen Kam. “Galen said, ‘You know, Herbert, you play ukulele all your life,” Ohta-San recalls. “‘Why don’t you make a record?’” Galen introduced Ohta-San to Don McDiarmid Jr., president of Hula Records at the time. “Don was recording the Kamehameha Alumni Glee Club at the Roosevelt High School Auditorium,” Ohta-San says. “So we barged in… and I played for Don. And Don said, ‘Anytime you want to record, I’ll do it.’ That’s when ‘Sushi’ happened.” “Sushi”was Ohta-San’s first single, and it shot to number one on the local radio charts. It was 1964, and kids danced to it on national programs like American Bandstand.

Since then, Ohta-San’s son, Herb Ohta Jr., has followed his father’s path, and became an accomplished ukulele player in his own right. “I have a section on my website called ‘Appreciation of History,’” Herb Jr. says. “So get him [Ohta-San], get Roy Sakuma, get Eddie Kamae. They made the ukulele a lead instrument. Kids look at myself or Jake Shimabukuro, or Taimane Gardner, or Brittni Paiva, as the groundbreakers, but we’re not…. If it wasn't for them, him, Eddie, we wouldn’t be doing what we’re doing.” To think, a hearing condition that prevented Ohta-San from one career opened the door to another – a musical career that paved the way for generations of ukulele soloists.

Uke Serendipity

Like Father, Like Son Herb Ohta and Herb Ohta Jr.

A hearing condition led Herb “Ohta-San” Ohta to a career that involves a lot of listening – mastering the ukulele.

Mary Jo Kaszubinski on FacebookAs a new resident of Hawaii and a retired teacher, I love the quality of your news broadcast (HIKI NŌ). It is a great intro to the islands and the wonderful teens that are part of this community.

Burt Lum on TwitterJust watched E Haku Inoa on PBS Hawaii. Chicken skin!

Hannibal Starbuck on TwitterThat was a very special show of sorts (Insights on PBS Hawaii, Jan. 30). Has a public forum with all Hawaii mayors ever happened before? Mahalo.

Victoria Koch on TwitterThe PBS Hawaii [Presents] Family Ingredients episode with chefs Alan Wong and Ed Kenney was so good I watched it twice while flying on Hawaiian Airlines.

Thanks PBS! Just viewed PBS Hawaii Presents: Aloha Buddha. Glad I found out about it just in time to see it. Mahalo.

I have been an early proponent of teaching all newscasters that we do not live in “Ha-na-lu-lu”! I cringe when I hear “Ke-ah-moku” or the slaughtering of other important names that bear a proud history in our aina. Everyone who has ever worked for me (and I am legendary in not tolerating sloppy Hawaiian pronunciation) can tell you, it is HaleakaLA – and not HaleA-kala. And one final note – can we try O-ahu rather than: “O-wa-hu”?? Mahalo nui and keep up the good work.– Diane, Oahu

I live all alone on a big lot. My granddad came as a sugar worker from Japan in the 1800s and bought the place from a Hawaiian family. It has a very good view...I can even see the lighthouse in Pahoa at night.

I thank you for your (over-the-air) channels 10.1 and 10.2 coming through. I’m very grateful to your staff. I watch the (children’s shows) in the daytime. I’ll send support as long as I live! God bless you all!– Anonymous, Hawaii Island

For the past two years, Carlsmith Ball has been a corpo-rate sponsor of the critically acclaimed Downton Abbey on Masterpiece – and it’s not just because many at the firm are avid fans of the show. For the state’s oldest law firm, it comes down to their commitment to the community. “As a member of the local community, Carlsmith Ball feels that it is our responsibility to ensure that everyone has access to programming that advances the arts, culture and education,”

partner Douglas Chin explains. “With federal funding at a low, it is critical for private and corporate citizens to support PBS Hawaii.” Douglas says the show’s depic-

tion of different social classes reacting and adapting to world events reflects PBS Hawaii’s unique programming. “From business owners to high school students, PBS Hawaii’s local programs provide an insight into what our com-munity is thinking, a local perspective on issues that concern our state and nation.” With a long history of drawing success from the community, Carlsmith

Ball knows that sponsoring Downton Abbey is the ideal opportunity to give back and ensure that future generations can continue to benefit from all PBS Hawaii programs. Mahalo a nui loa to Carlsmith Ball for your business support.

When PBS Hawaii began working with local architecture firm Group 70 International on the exterior design of our NEW HOME, we felt that it was important for Hawaii’s statewide on-air and online storyteller to build a facility that tells our story in a way that is meaningful and timeless. We arrived at the concept of the Hawaiian kipuka – a place where the lava flow has passed around an area with foliage, soil and water intact. We see our NEW HOME as a visual and cultural kipuka – a central place to strengthen communities statewide. To symbolize our mission, Group 70 Vice Chair Sheryl Seaman created an original design featuring traditional native Hawaiian plants to symbolize our mission and reflect a physical, cultural and historical sense of place. The design will form a decorative metal screen around the exterior of our facil-ity, deflecting sunlight and heat. The ahupuaa (land division) is also reflected in the motif. The lower level of the design uses kalo to represent the lower valley, while the top portion uses the ulu (breadfruit), ipu (gourd) and kukui (candlenut) to represent the upper valley and mountains. As a supporter, you are a part of the PBS Hawaii story – and we’d like to share these designs with you. For your gift of $65 or more, we would like to offer you a limited-edition PBS Hawaii t-shirt featuring plant designs that will be a part of our NEW HOME. This year’s kalo shirt is one in a planned series of four – so be sure to collect them all! Simply fill out and mail in the coupon above to receive this special mahalo gift.
