NA MELE Jerry Santos Mon., June 16, 7:30 pm Encore When we hear his distinctive voice, there is no mistaking the music of Jerry Santos. And when we listen to his lyrics, there is no mistaking his connection with the memories and emotions of our own lives. In this brand new NA MELE, Jerry has woven together a story of home. “The idea of home was the driving force for the content. Most of the songs speak to the idea of ku‘u home, a personal, endearing way to refer to our place in the world. It becomes ku‘u because we attach to it our familiarity, what the wind and the rain are like, how the mountains smell, what is in the river, who our people are, our attachment to them and the things we have learned by being of a place,” Jerry says. Santos mixes “All of That Love from Here” with his signature song, “Ku‘u Home ‘O Kahalu‘u,” as well as “Tewe Tewe,” a playful song that pays tribute to the slippery o‘opu. He also performs “Seabird” and “Ku‘u Makamaka,” among other songs. Joining Jerry in the PBS Hawaii studio are musicians Kamuela Kimokeo and Hoku Zuttermeister. Join this cherished artist, as he takes us to those memorable, comfortable places in our lives.

Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing America Fri., June 20, 9:00 pm New Review the biography of the man who made public parks an essential part of American life.

Olmsted’s pioneering design of the public parks and parkway systems in Buffalo, New York, is the oldest coordinated system in America and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. To Olmsted, a park was both a work of art and a necessity for urban life. His efforts to preserve nature created an “environmental ethic” decades before the environmental movement became a force in American politics. Stockard Channing narrates; Campbell Scott provides the voice of Olmsted. AMERICAN MASTERS Tanaquil Le Clercq: Afternoon of a Faun Fri., June 20, 10:00 pm New Tanaquil Le Clercq, known to all as "Tanny," was the inspiration and then the wife of one of the greatest geniuses in the history of dance, George Balanchine; she also sparked the creative imagination of Jerome Robbins.

HIKI NŌ Thurs., June 19, 7:30 pm Encore This is the first all-Maui HIKI NŌ show ― the first episode in which all the stories come from schools on one island.

Baldwin High School in Wailuku, Maui High School in Kahului, Lahainaluna High School in Lahaina, Maui Waena Intermediate in Kahului, Seabury Hall Middle School in Makawao, Lahaina Intermediate in Lahaina, and Kamehameha Schools Maui Middle School in Pukalani. Top Story: Students from Maui High School report on the very complex and divisive issue of cane burning in their community. Maui’s Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar is the last producing sugar mill in Hawaii, and it still utilizes the 132-year-old process of cane burning. Many residents support HC&S because it provides jobs and is the last hold-out for Hawaii’s all-but-dead plantation culture. But some community organizations, such as Maui Tomorrow, have strong concerns about the health hazards caused by the cane burning smoke and claim it increases the number of respiratory problems among residents in the area. Increased diligence with weather forecasts and introducing a non-burning “green” method of harvesting are two ways of minimizing the impact of sugar harvesting on residents. The journalists at Maui High study how different sectors of the community are working together to try to resolve the problem. Also featured: Students from Maui Waena Intermediate look into why construction on their new science building, whose funding was approved by the state legislature in 2007, has yet to start; Lahainaluna High School highlights the annual celebration of their most famous graduate, Hawaiian scholar David Malo; students from Seabury Hall Middle School profile a young female rodeo star; H.P. Baldwin High School studies how running a small business, the 4 Sisters Bakery, can put a strain on a family; students at Lahaina Intermediate profile a man who has been the school’s crossing guard for two generations; and Kamehameha Schools Maui Middle tells about the history and values of the Nobriga family’s Maui Soda and Ice Works.
