THE LEGEND OF KO‘OLAU • Hawai‘i Theater Center, 1130 Bethel Street, Honolulu, Hawai‘i. i • Time: 7:30PM; • Program: Premiere 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. • Call: Box office (808) 528-0506

KŪ KA PAILA
A Campbell ‘Ohana wedding: (This item was published in the 2013-#3 issue of this newsletter, but without a picture). Years ago, we got a call from Oswald Stender who was then a Trustee for the Campbell Estate. He asked Kapalakiko Productions to travel to San Jose to retrieve kahilis that once belonged to the late Kamokila Campbell. We did that and shipped them to Honolulu via my friend, Bobby Hirano‘s Crate Factory. The Campbell Estate picked up all expenses and Oswald, down through the years has never forgotten what we did for him. Three years ago, Tomiko Conner. who works for Kimo Campbell, Kamokilaʻs adopted grandson hired the KHB to perform at Kimoʻs wedding to Kerry Tepperman at his San Rafael home in Marin County. I had only known about Kimo through my ironworker buddy, Doug Jacobsen,who along with the late Charley Wedemeyer, attended Punahou with Kimo. Kimo was a strong supporter of our newsletter and band, so it was fitting that the KHB perform at his wedding. Shortly after his wedding Kimo passed away. In researching his life, I found out that Kimo was a political and environmental activist and worked as a journalist for Marin Countyʻs Independent Journal. His activism was in full display at the College of Marin, at the University of California at Berkeley, and in Marin Countyʻs world of political, social and environmental concerns. A few months ago, I received an email from Suzanne Avina of Santa Clara asking if the KHB was available to perform at her sonsʻ wedding. My usual reaction to such requests is to ask, “how did you get to contact us for this event?” Suzanne answered, “ Kimo Campbell is my dear cousin and I was in attendance at his wedding where I heard your band perform. In a dream, it was revealed to me that the Kapalakiko Hawaiian Band was the band to perform at my sonsʻ wedding reception.” “Weʻll be there for you and your ‘ohana,” I reassured her. In researching the Campbell family, it was revealed that Kamokila Campbell had spent her last years residing in Palo Alto. I told Suzanne of Oswald Stenderʻs telephone call and the errand he sent me on. Suzanne sighed, “oh how I remember those kahilis outside the front door of grandmaʻs home in Palo Alto.” I knew then, how the kahilis

T H E K A P A L A K I K O N E W S L E T T E R landed in San Jose. I was well aware, too, that composer Muriel Flanders was a daughter of Kamokila Campbell and that Mountain Apple Records had produced a CD with various artists in the MAC stable performing Murielʻs compositions; among them, The Brothers Cazimero; Tony Conjugacion; Teresa Bright; OʻBrian Eselu; Moe Keale; Keao Costa; Nā Leo; Jeff Rasmussen; Ken Makuakāne; Kawika Maguire. Through Leah Bernstein of Mountain Apple Company, I was gifted a copy of this CD, “The Music of Muriel Flanders,” Mountain Apple Company MACD 2079, 2001. Leah also briefed me that Jon de Mello, the present head of MAC was adopted as a young lad into the Campbell family because his dad Jack had produced Kamokilaʻs recordings and was therefore, a close friend and confident to the matriarch. Leah also shared stories of Kamokilaʻs offsprings who are known for their charity philanthropy to various local organizations. Rob and his sister Jennifer Rose Lokelani Avina are Kamokila Campbellʻs great grand children. Their mother, Suzanne Macfarlane Avina, continues the Campbell family tradition of philanthropy. Suzanne married Robert Avina, a motorcycle policeman who served the cities of Campbell (how ironic) and Santa Clara and was paralyzed racing his motorcycle responding to an accident. He then trained himself to become a paralegal. He had a special friend, Alma a golden retriever, trained to help rehabilitate people. Robert Avina passed away, 13 July 2004. The reception of Rob Avinaʻs marriage to Candance Bates took place at the Santa Clara Senior Center on Saturday, 1 June. Suzanne was moved when we performed her Auntie Muriel Flanderʻs composition, “Lanikūhonua.” Lanikūhonua is the name of the Campbell family home at Ko ‘Olina, Oʻahu. This tale of ‘ohana lies at the heart of why we perform the good stuff.

• Gary & Sheldeen Haleamau: The Folklife Program of the Nevada Arts Council has named Las Vegas residents Gary and Sheldeen Haleamau as recipients of the 2015 Nevada Heritage Award. The Haleamaus are recognized for preserving, perpetuating and presenting their native Hawaiian culture throughout Nevada.Gary was born and raised on the Hu‘e Hu‘e Ranch in North Kona, and local cowboy music was part of his family culture for generations. He is noted for his falsetto singing and slack key guitar. He has performed around the world and won many awards for his recordings. Sheldeen, born on Kaua’i into a family of hula dancers, studied with a number of hula masters. Both a dancer and a teacher, Sheldeen teaches Hawaiian language and culture along with dance so that students understand the full meaning of hula. She introduces each song or chant with a description of its meaning. She is also a fine traditional and contemporary Hawaiian singer. The couple was nominated by Nevada folklorist Rachel Hopkin, of Nevada Humanities, who said they express the gifts of both traditional and contemporary Hawaiian art, with excellence. “The Aloha spiritual path guides their lives and involves the practice of presence, humility, perseverance, unity, and honesty,” Hopkin said. “They are artists of great distinction who believe it is their responsibility to pass on the art, music, and culture that will keep Hawaii alive, even on the mainland.” The Haleamaus are well-respected performers and teachers of traditional Hawaiian culture and are extremely active in the Las Vegas area Hawaiian-Asian-Pacific Islander community. Their family band includes their sons and they regularly perform for the Lei Day Festival and at local retirement homes, museums, schools and churches. The Nevada Heritage Awards honor and recognize Nevada master folk and traditional artists who, at the highest level of excellence and authenticity, carry forward the folk traditions of their families and communities through practice and teaching. The award carries a $3,500 stipend. The Nevada Arts Council presents the awards to individuals whose achievements have had a positive impact on the excellence, vitality and public appreciation of folk and traditional arts in Nevada. The Nevada Arts Council, a division of the Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs, is the agency charged with ensuring that state and national funds support cultural activity and encourage participation in the arts throughout Nevada. In addition to providing hundreds of grants to arts and community-based organizations, schools, artists and local municipalities throughout the state, the Arts Council coordinates a variety of statewide programs and activities such as the annual Poetry Out Loud recitation competition for high-school aged students, traveling exhibits, artist residencies, workshops and cultural assessments.
