THE LEGEND OF KO‘OLAU
• Sacramento City College Performing Arts Theatre, 3835 Freeport Boulevard, Sacramento,
California 95822.
• Time: 3PM;
• Program: Performance of Gary T. Kubotaʻs historical drama about the life of Kaluaiko‘olau, a
paniolo and ‘outlaw’. In this one-man play — as seen through the eyes of Koʻolau — a
courageous story unfolds about a Hawaiian family on Kauai fighting for their rights amidst
the chaos and loss of Hawaiian sovereignty in 1893. Koʻolau fought a rebel militia that had
overthrown the Hawaiian monarchy and wanted to enforce leprosy laws that would force him
and his son to the leper settlement at Kalaupapa known as “the Living Grave.” But Koʻolau’s
expertise as a marksman, the resolve of his wife Pi‘ilani to keep the family together, and the
vast wilderness of Kalalau Valley on Kauai all contribute to his cause. It is a tale of love and
survival against all odds. Featuring Moronai Kānekoa; directed by Monte Scott Perez;

KŪ KA PAILA
• Punahou Alumni Association Northern California: At Chris Hemmeter’s ’82 E&O Kitchen and
Bar in San Francisco, California, on Dec. 3, guests enjoyed E&O’s signature corn fritters and
specialty holiday cocktails while getting caught up at the Punahou Alumni Association
Northern California (PAANC) annual Holiday Pau Hana. A video booth captured some alumni’s
reflections on Punahou and new memories were formed as guests connected with alumni
from the classes of 1957 – 2010. “It’s awesome seeing so many Puns out here in the Bay
Area. Makes you really appreciate the Punahou community,” said David Yamane ‘07. Blessed
with one of the largest alumni bases outside Hawai‘i, PAANC’s engagement has grown
steadily since the chapter’s launch in September 2014. Past programming has included
casual get-togethers in San Francisco, organized through PAANC’s Facebook page,
receptions with visiting Punahou faculty and staff and a speaker series. The coming months
will provide even more opportunities to connect with local alumni. PAANC will pilot a
mentoring program for undergraduates and young alumni. The chapter will also partner with
Menlo School and Head of School Than Healy ’87 to host Frank Bruni, a New York Times
reporter and best-selling author, on March 21 at Menlo School. Mr. Bruni will share insights
from his book, “Where You Go Is Not Who You Will Be: An Antidote to the College
Admissions Mania.” And, on May 1, families and friends from all over Northern California are
invited to celebrate Punahou’s 175th anniversary with a family-friendly lu‘au at the Mill
Valley Community Center.
• On Dec. 4, the Punahou Alumni Association Northwest (PAANW) held its annual Holiday
Malasada Social at Roddy Cooke’s ’85 Lucky Labrador Brewing Company in Portland, Oregon.
Nearly 70 alumni ranging from the Class of 1952 – 2015 enjoyed a little taste of home with
some malasadas. Guests also enjoyed pizza, Hawaiian music and a holiday photo booth. As a
follow-up to its November community service project, PAANW collected canned goods for

the Oregon Food Bank. After the event, PAANW Co-Chair Bleu Blakslee ’87 shared, “We had
a wonderful time in Portland kicking off the holiday season with some aloha spirit, and we
wish Punahou alumni around the world a Mele Kalimkimaka from the Pacific Northwest.” The
PAANW fun will continue in 2016 with a concert and possible meet-and-greet with Henry
Kapono ’67 on Jan. 22 at the Aladdin Theater in Portland and a pau hana in Tacoma on Jan.
30. Additionally, the chapter will celebrate Punahou’s 175th anniversary with events in
Portland and Seattle in early April 2016.

TALK STORY:
• Kuiokalani Lee Songbook: Well, itʻs about time somebody honored the compositions of the
late Kuiokalani Lee. I never knew him nor did I see him perform but his sister in law, the late,
Libby Naone Bailey of Maple Shade, New Jersey had a haunting influence on my own music.
My favorite Kui Lee song is “Iʻll Remember You.” Kui passed away in 1966 at age 34, and
now 50 years later Ron Ka-ipo of Keaau put together 26 of Kuiʻs songs (some of which I
have not heard before) on a 2 disk CD, “Intangible Dream - The Kui Lee Songbook,” Ka-ipo

• Damned Stupid Politicos: For so many years now, kumu hula Patrick Makuakāne of San
Francisco based Hālau Hula Nā Lei Hulu I Ka Wēkiu has held his marvelous shows each
October at the beautiful theater of the Palace of Fine Arts. This past Octoberʻs series
highlighted the hālauʻs 30th anniversary and it was spectacular as ever, featuring a
wonderful segment by Robert Cazimero and the music of Kūpaoa. Midway through his
program kumu Patrick shocked the unknowing audience by announcing, “O, you know what
the city wants to do with this beautiful place? Well, two proposals before the Board of Parks
and Recreation plans to turn it into a hotel.” This was greeted with hisses and boos. “I think
this place should be turned into a center for culture and arts.” Big applause. The Palace of
Fine Arts is a historical remnant of the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition, which by the way
heralded a world wide craze for the proliferation of Hawaiian music and hula. It was designed
by the celebrated architect, Bernard Maybeck. There is a movement developing to stop this
asinine move by the Parks and Recreation Board of San Francisco.

new hobby at the age of 13, creates sounds that are rich, full and keep listeners on the

• New 2016 Kapalakiko ‘Ukulele Classes: Wanting to play the ʻukulele seems to be a popular
pastime here in Northern California. The Kapalakiko system is distinctly Hawaiian and focuses
on performing Hawaiian mele in itʻs relationship to the hula and we have a lot of fun learning
as ʻohana. There is a strong emphasis on learning instrumental and vocal fundamentals. More
and more, we are getting keiki to join our classes; some with their parents and guardians
learning beside them. New ʻukulele classes opened at the head of 2016. The weekly basic
San Francisco Section welcomed 6 new students; the weekly basic South Bay Section
welcomed 10 new students; the monthly basic East Bay Section welcomed 8 new students;
and the monthly basic Sacramento Section welcomed 11 new students. These 35 new basic
students added to 180 returnees and intermediate students makes for a total of 225
currently learning the Kapalakiko system.
STEEL GUITAR NEWS
• On Bobby Black: Our steelie, Bobby Black was injured in an horrendous auto accident on a
musical tour with the Western Swing band, Lost Weekend in Colorado. The accident
occurred on the trip from the Denver Airport to the Evergreen Jazz Festival. His spinal chord
was broken and his wife Sheila brought him back home to Manteca where he is recuperating
and could use some moral support. Drop him a line at 488 Bellchase Drive. Manteca, CA
95336. Doctors say it will take 3 months for his spine to fuse back together. Itʻs already
been that and more already and other medical complications have set in. Iʻm pulling for him.

2015 Kapalakiko Aloha Spirit Awards
At the end of every year we slow down and take stock of tremendous efforts and work done by
the many individuals and organizations of our vital extended community in their varied fields of
endeavors who touch our lives, sometimes directly; sometimes in intangible ways. Some are indeed
luminaries; others are small potatoes; common folk, just like us; and many toil, unheralded in the
shadows of anonymity. It matters not, to us. At our 2015 fundraiser on 5 December, we shared
our heart felt thank yous to the following:
HULA PRESERVATION SOCIETY for their work in the field of hula documentation. KEITH NATHAN "NATE DEFIESTA posthumously, for his contributions as a Hawaiian
musician.
SUSIE KAGAMI for her untiring work in the promotion of Hawaiian music. MIKA‘ELE WAEGER for his contributions as a Hawaiian musician.
STEVE HOGEL for his services as a sound engineer.
NADINE PALI SAMORANO for her untiring service to the Hawaiian community.
WAYNE REIS for his contributions as a Hawaiian musician and composer.
