Special effort is made to record and share the often untold story of Hawaii's working men and women who overcame difficulties between ethnic groups, made the islands produc­ tive, and bettered the quality of life through struggle and hard work . • Waialua and Haleiwa: The People Tell Their Story, Life Histories of Native Hawaiians, Rememberin~ Kakaako: 1910-1950, Waipi'o: M3no Wai (Source of Life), The 1924 Filipino Str1ke on Kauai, Women Workers in Hawaii's Pineapple Industry, Stores and Storekeepers of Paia and Puunene, Maui, Uchinanchu: A History of Okinawans in Hawaii, and A Social History of Kana, represent ESOHP's nine major • efforts at accomplishing its aims. Five Life Histories Supported by the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, ESOHP in 1983, under­ took its tenth project, Five Life Histories. This project focuses on the per­ • sonal experiences and historical events recalled by five individuals of dispa­ rate backgrounds. Included among the interviewees are: Ernest Malterre, Jr., retired administrator for the Oahu Sugar Company; Raku Saka Morimoto, retired interpreter for the Im­ migration Bureau; Yuzuru Morita, retired irrigation superintendent for Oahu Sugar • Company; Charlie Santos, musician; and Edith (Anzai) Yonenaka, retired storeowner and postmistress. The interviewees range in age from 64 to 93 and talk about their experiences in Big Island plantation communities, Kula, Maui, Leeward Oahu, central Honolulu, and Kaaawa, Oahu . • Transcript Usage and Availability To facilitate the use of the transcripts, a photo section with pictures of the interviewees, a glossary of all "pidgin" English and non-English words used (un­ derlined in the transcripts), and a detailed subject index appear at the begin­ ning and end of this volume. A biographical summary also precedes each inter­ • viewee's transcript. All interviewees were encouraged to read their transcripts and make any dele­ tions or additions they considered necessary before signing the following legal release: • In order to preserve and make available the history of Hawaii for present and future generations~ I hereby give and grant to the • ix • University of Hawaii Ethnic Studies OraL History Project as a donation for such schoLarLy and educationaL purposes as the Project Director shaLl determine~ alL my rights~ title~ and e interest to the following: Tapes and edited transcripts of interviews recorded on (date) ~ BiographicaL Data Sheet dated (date) ~ and Notes of untaped interviews (date) . The transcripts, published in this volume, represent the statements which inter- viewees wish to leave for the public record. e The transcripts are almost verbatim from the actual taped interviews. Minor editing, was done by the ESOHP staff to make the transcripts easier to read. The flavor and authenticity of interviews were not compromised by this editing. Staff additions are in brackets [ ]. In some cases, interviewees made grammatical or syntactic changes in their tran­ • scripts. Some attached additions or explanations. These changes have been in­ corporated into the final transcript. Interviewee additions are in parentheses ( ) . Three-dot ellipses indicate an interruption; four-dot ellipses indicate a trail­ off by a speaker. Three dashes indicate false starts. • The tape identification number, assigned to each tape and transcript, indicates project number, cassette number, session number, and year of interview, in se­ quence. For example, Tape No. 10-6-1-83 identifies project number 10, cassette number 6, the first recorded interview session, and the year, 1983, respective­ ly. Tapes are stored and are available for public listening at the Hamilton Library•s Hawaii and Pacific Collection, University of Hawaii at Manoa. • Transcript volumes are available at the following places: Hawaii Molokai • Hawaii Public Library Molokai Community Library Hawaii Community College Library University of Hawaii at Hilo Oahu Library Kealakekua Community Library Hawaii State Library Kaimuki Regional Library • Kauai Kaneohe Regional Library Pearl City Regional Library Kauai Regional Library (Lihue) University of Hawaii at Manoa Kauai Community Colleqe Library Hamilton Library Sinclair Library Lanai Ethnic Studies Program • Honolulu Community College Library Lanai Community Library Kapiolani Community College Library Leeward Community College Library Maui Windward Community College Library Hawaii State Archives Maui Regional Library (Wailuku) State Foundation on Culture and the Arts • Maui Community College Library Ethnic Studies Oral History Project X • • The staff of the Ethnic Studies Oral History Project believes that understanding the contributions of Hawaii 1 S multi-ethnic working people will foster within individuals a positive ethnic identity and an appreciation of the proud heritage • that belongs to all of Hawaii•s people.

  • Hawaii State Public Library System Have Been Made by a Team of Very Dedicated Staff, and I Am Blessed to Work with Them to Support Our Communities
    DAVID Y. IGE CATHERINE PAYNE GOVERNOR CHAIRPERSON STATE OF HAWAI‘I BOARD OF EDUCATION P.O. BOX 2360 HONOLULU, HAWAI‘I 96804 June 4, 2020 TO: Board of Education FROM: Catherine Payne Chairperson, Board of Education AGENDA ITEM: Board Action on State Librarian’s evaluation for 2019-2020 School Year: end-of-year evaluation The Board of Education’s (“Board”) state librarian evaluation process, revised on August 15, 2019,1 includes an end-of-year final evaluation of the state librarian’s performance on predetermined professional standards based on the American Library Association’s description of required skills for library directors and multiple public library director evaluations from across the country and annual state librarian priorities. The state librarian is to provide the Board with a self-assessment along with supporting documents and evidence to help inform its evaluation. State Librarian Stacey Aldrich’s materials related to the end-of-year self-assessment are attached as Exhibit A. The evaluation process envisions the Board conducting its end-of-year evaluation of the state librarian in executive session, taking action on the assessments in public, and publishing its ratings and comments on its website. However, on June 27, 2019, the Hawaii Supreme Court issued an opinion regarding discussion of personnel matters in executive session.2 Based on this opinion, the discussion of the state librarian’s performance should occur in public because there is no clear, legitimate privacy interest in highly personal and intimate information, as described in the opinion. Because the entire discussion will occur in public, it is more appropriate for the official meeting minutes to serve as the record of the evaluation rather than a separate summary document.
