ALOHA FESTIVALS CELEBRATES 70 YEARS WITH “HĀLI‘A ALOHA – TREASURED MEMORIES”

It was 70 years ago that a group of former Jaycees – known as the Jaycees Old-timers of Hawai‘i – had the vision to create a public celebration to honor Hawai‘i’s heritage. Thus, in 1946, Aloha Festivals began as “Aloha Week,” a cultural celebration of Hawai‘i’s music, dance and history intended to perpetuate the Islands’ unique traditions.

Now in its 70th year, Aloha Festivals is one of Hawai‘i’s most highly regarded and oldest cultural celebrations, integrating the traditions and cultures of the Islands through music, dance, cuisine and art. The tradition carries on today, with this year’s Aloha Festivals theme “Hāli‘a Aloha – Treasured Memories.”

“We’ve come a long way in the past 70 years,” said Debbie Nakanelua-Richards, Aloha Festivals board of directors’ co-chair. “Each year I am in awe of the collective ideas, the mana‘o and how beautifully the theme is executed by our volunteers and participants throughout all of our events. Hāli‘a Aloha is truly one year not to be missed.”

Hāli‘a Aloha is also the collective account of Hawai‘i’s rich history. It’s the story of the ‘āina (land) and kānaka (people). It’s the story of a seafaring people reaching a new land, the rebirth of a chain of islands into a nation, and the joyful sharing of life spread across the global community, celebrating the cornerstone of Hawai‘i’s uniqueness, the Aloha Spirit.

Over the years, Aloha Festivals has honored and recognized some of Hawai‘i’s most celebrated traditions and pastimes – hula, pā‘ū riding, music, ocean voyaging, Hawaiian art of featherwork, paniolo and lei making to name a few. The festival also has paid tribute to the people, the masters and keiki (children) who have learned and continue to preserve Island traditions, malama the ʻāina and be stewards for future generations.

"It delights me to see the growth of Aloha Festivals and the involvement of our local community, from the lit- tlest keiki, to the eldest kupuna,” said Helene “Sam” Shenkus, Aloha Festivals board of directors’ co-chair. “We’re excited this year not only to share our theme of treasured memories, but also to make new ones that we’ll treasure for many years to come.”

This year’s Aloha Festivals takes place from Sept. 3 to 24 at various locations on O‘ahu, sharing the history and traditions of Hawai‘i and the unique spirit of aloha with both kamaʻāina (local residents) and malihini (visitors).

It’s time to vote for your favorite Aloha Festivals Spirit of Aloha nominee

From greeting strangers as “aunty” or “uncle,” to a friendly wave or shaka to let someone in front of you while driving, Hawai‘i remains unique and beautiful thanks to our people and their practice of aloha. To honor and help perpetuate the aloha spirit in our community, Aloha Festivals invited the public to recognize individuals who exemplify the Spirit of Aloha last month. The nominations have been reviewed and three have been posted to the Aloha Festivals website for viewing and public voting.

Members of our community will have until midnight on Monday, September 12 to vote for their favorite nominee. Visit www.alohafestivals.com to review the entries and place a vote.

“We appreciate the time everyone took to submit a deserving friend, family member, neighbor or co-worker as someone who embodies the aloha spirit in our Island community,” said Jay Talwar, Aloha Festivals board member. “We look forward to celebrating the individual who exemplifies and represents this island identity as the Spirit of Aloha honoree.”

The three nominees are (the write-ups noted below are the actual nomination entries):

Ted Bush—Ted Bush has been on the beach since the age of 5 and trust me he has not been relaxing on the sand or playing in the waves the whole time.

Growing up in Waikiki he was drawn to the water and started working at Waikiki Beach Services when he turned 18. He has been sharing his never-ending aloha spirit with locals and tourists alike ever since. After many enjoyable years of dedicated service helping to provide surf lessons, rentals, burials at sea, and captaining outrigger canoe rides, he is now the owner of Waikiki Beach Services. He continuously proves he is a true ambassador of aloha by educating guests on the local culture while providing top-quality water experiences to all of Waikiki's visitors through the iconic Waikiki beach boy image.

Recently Waikiki Beach Services has worked closely with the Make-A-Wish program to grant wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses who have dreamed of coming to to surf and experience Waikiki Beach.

Ted has continued to expand his kuleana by working tirelessly to develop and continue the annual “May Day Waikiki” festival for the past three years to honor and celebrate the history and tradition of the legendary Waikiki beach boys and Lei Day. He has also helped to start a fund-raiser to raise funds for the future “Memorial Wall” for the past Waikiki beach boys.

Ted’s many years of dedication to preserve the true spirit of aloha in Waikiki make him more than worthy of this year’s Spirit of Aloha Award. Mahalo!

Joshua Buchanan—Joshua is known to many as Mr. Aloha – a guy that everyone can’t help but get along with. It’s also partly due to his large aloha shirt collection which he amassed while interning during his last year of college. His work there contributed to the effort to bridge the gap in health care disparities among our native populations.

This selflessness for an aspiring physician is coupled with how he brings people together as a team through his positivity and comedic timing. My classmates and I have noticed he is able to bring light to the rigorous nature of the courses we are taking and relate them to real life experiences. He brings the story of his own life to the classroom to relate to each and every one of our struggles and connect with us on a humanistic level.

He makes sure everyone is recognized for their presence as they arrive in class each morning and leave. This friendly nature is rooted in his homegrown values and educational foundation – he now habitually finds the time to get to know everyone around him.

Joshua does not boast and is a servant to the good of the people of Hawaii in his pursuit of a medical degree. He continues to surprise our class with his accolades in work, volunteering, and athletics. My classmates and I believe he has the potential to make a difference in the underserved communities around Hawaii, no matter how difficult his path may be to get there.

These traits are why my class and I feel he should be recognized for his Spirit of Aloha.

Dorothy Herring—When I met Dorothy 16 years ago something about her smile and spirit stuck with me and it wasn’t until 14 years later after walking into MAC 24/7 I realized that it was her natural Aloha spirit that had me hypnotized. I’ve lived around the world, met tons of people and never have I encountered a being that illuminates a feeling that people save their whole life to come to these islands for, aloha. In the two years we’ve been together, she has been recognized for lighting up the room at work, whether by patrons online or her own peers voting her Employee of the Year in Ohana. This spirit of kindness, unity, agreeable, humility and patience is not just at work but on an everyday basis. I see the way even friends of our children love her and how, not just her, but my own family embraces her radiance. After hearing your Aloha Spirit nominee commercial I automatically thought about her, the born-and-raised hapa girl that lives next door. She hasn’t had anything handed to her, always worked hard and always maintained a positive upbeat attitude. Her spirit is motivating to anyone that crosses paths with her. Her co-workers have nothing but reassuring things to say and most love working with her because her “aloha-ness” makes any 8-hour shift on your feet fly right by with continuous smiles. She stands out in any crowd not only because she’s two inches shy of 6 feet but because she shines bright with an aloha spirit that draws positivity her way. I hope that my words can give some justice to how truly blessed myself and my children are to share in her natural aloha spirit beauty daily.

Royal Hawaiian Center is pleased to announce the luxury Italian brand FENDI will open a new bi-level boutique on Kalākaua Avenue in early 2017. Designed with the Maison's Roman heritage in mind, the new store's retail concept is a reflection on the independence, strength and femininity of the Maison. Materials such as travertine and patina bronze recall colors of the Roman skyline while the juxtaposition of textures and materials evoke the FENDI Dualism, part of the DNA of the luxury house.

"We are proud to announce this expansion opportunity that will provide a more spacious environment for one of our most important and successful merchants,” Rosalind Schurgin, CEO of The Festival Companies, the Management and Leasing Company for Royal Hawaiian Center. “We look forward to welcoming the FENDI brand into its new space that will afford customers an even more luxurious experience and access to additional fine FENDI products."

The new 2,801 square foot location will carry both the men's and women's collections including ready to wear, fur, leather goods, shoes and accessories. FENDI's current location at the Royal Hawaiian Center will remain open until the new store's inauguration in early 2017.

The new boutique will be located in Building C, Levels 1 & 2 facing Kalākaua Avenue.

Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor Partners with Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and Smithsonian Affiliates to Offer an Astrophotography Workshop for Students

Students on fall break in grades 5-8 are encouraged to attend a special two-day Astrophotography Workshop, October 13 and 14, from 9 am – 3 pm, at Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor.

The workshop is part of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory’s Youth Capture the Colorful Cosmos III (YCCC III) program, offering students the opportunity to research, explore and photograph the cosmos using telescopes owned and maintained by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

The goal of the program is to use hands-on exercises to teach youth how to control the MicroObservatory robotic telescopes over the Internet, and to take their own images of the universe. Student projects will be on display at Pacific Aviation Museum, as well as on the Museum’s website beginning October 17, 2016. YCCC promotes increased interest, awareness, and knowledge of astronomy content, while promoting an understanding of technology and proficiency in real scientific research skills.

Participating Smithsonian Affiliates, including Pacific Aviation Museum, will share a virtual learning space, YouthAstroNet, to educate students using tutorials and quizzes, while showcasing students’ work. YouthAstroNet is a National Science Foundation (NSF) – funded online learning community that features discussion forums on STEM/IT careers, virtual tours, astronomy workshops, and more. A network of STEM professional and online mentors will join YouthAstroNet to aid and facilitate the program.

The cost for the two-day program is $50 per student, $45 for Museum members. For reservations or more information email [email protected] or call 808-445-9041.

Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization.

ALA MOANA CENTER PRESENTS: FASHION ANNEX REBOOT: FASHION FUTURES

Ala Moana Center is excited to announce the second installment of Fashion Annex, a series of exhibits celebrating different facets of the fashion industry. From Sept. 1 – Oct. 25, REBOOT: Fashion Futures will weave together the work of renowned Hawaiian artists Solomon Enos and Marques Hanalei Marzan, to explore Hawai‘i’s cultural evolution through fashion. The exhibit will lead viewers into an imagined future in fashion, highlighting the meaning and ritual of how society dresses and what clothing symbolizes from a cultural perspective.

Solomon Robert Nui Enos is a native Hawaiian artist, educator, illustrator and visionary born and raised in Makaha Valley. An artist for more than 30 years, Enos is rooted in community work that ties art, land and people together around mutual care and consideration. His body of work blends traditional Polynesian mo‘olelo (stories) with contemporary science fiction, expressed in a wide variety of media including oil paintings, book illustrations, outdoor murals (both painted and in glass mosaic), and mixed-media sculptures. Enos’ work is held in private collections and in the public collection of the Hawai‘i State Art Museum.

Marquez Hanalei Marzan is a Hawaiian fiber artist born and raised in Kāne‘ohe. Marzan learned from and trained under noted experts in Hawai‘i, including master weavers, Julia Minerva Ka‘awa and Esther Kakalia Westmoreland. Marzan continues to broaden his knowledge of indigenous Pacific perspectives through

In collaboration with Hawai‘i Fashion Incubator, REBOOT: Fashion Futures follows the Fashion Annex’s debut exhibit, Aloha Made: A Snapshot of Hawai‘i Fashion. From Sept. 1 – Oct. 25, Ala Moana Center shoppers are invited to view the complimentary exhibit on Mall Level 2, Mauka Wing daily from 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.

On Sept. 1, from 12 p.m. – 4 p.m., Solomon Enos will hand draw a large scale, metaphoric mural for display inside of the Fashion Annex in conjunction with his featured artworks. Open to the public, shoppers are invited to visit the Annex and watch Enos’ drawing session live.

For more information on the Fashion Annex, visit www.AlaMoanaCenter.com and follow Ala Moana Center on Facebook, Twitter @AlaMoanaCenter, and Instagram @AlaMoanaCenter.
