Vol. XII No. 11 March 17-23, 2011 Volume XII, No. 11 Hawaiian transporting disaster response teams to Japan Hawaiian Airlines is transporting specialized teams of disaster response personnel from the mainland to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport this week. On March 14, Hawaiian flew seven members of the Eagles’ Wings Foundation from Seattle to Haneda via Honolulu. The Florida-based foundation is dedicated to providing trained emergency responders to disaster response efforts worldwide. This team’s mission is to assess areas of damage in Japan and to improve coordination in the distribution of supplies and aid from other organizations and individuals. Hawaiian is providing the air transportation to Japan at no cost in coordination with AirLink, a nonprofit organization devoted to working with air carriers on providing emergency travel in response to disasters worldwide. Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian’s president and CEO, is a board member of AirLink. Hawaiian expects to transport two more teams of emergency responders to Japan this week and plans to accommodate additional AirLink missions.

  • Statement of JOHN DE FRIES Hawai'i Tourism Authority Before the SENATE COMMITTEE on ENERGY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, and TOURISM
    Statement of JOHN DE FRIES Hawai‘i Tourism Authority before the SENATE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND TOURISM Monday, February 8, 2021 3:00 PM State Capitol, Conference Room #224 In consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 916 RELATING TO TAXATION Chair Wakai, Vice Chair Misalucha, and members of the Committee on Energy, Economic Development, and Tourism: the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) supports Senate Bill 916, which specifies that the $1,000,000 of Transient Accommodations Tax revenues currently allocated to operate a Hawaiian center and the Museum of Hawaiian Music and Dance may also be used to plan, design, and construct these facilities at an unspecified location. SB 916 is needed as we move forward to create the new Museum of Hawaiian Music and Dance. This measure will allow the funds to be utilized both for operations and development of the center. Currently, the law does not provide clear guidance as to how the funds may be utilized. The term “operations,” as found in the current statute, appears to restrict the use of the funds to the day-to- day activities of a center. Since this will be a new endeavor, we believe that allowing the funds to also be used for the planning, design, and construction will encourage more interest as we move forward in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process. It is for these reasons that HTA supports SB 916. We appreciate this opportunity to provide testimony.

  • Legislative Testimony Senate Bill No. 1005 RELATING to PUBLICITY
    Legislative Testimony Senate Bill No. 1005 RELATING TO PUBLICITY RIGHTS Committee on Economic Development and Technology February 9, 2009 1:15 p.m. Room 016 Aloha Chair Fukunaga, Vice Chair Baker, and Members. OHA strongly supports Senate Bill No. 1005 Relating to Publicity Rights. The purpose of this bill is to help protect in Hawaii the music of Hawaii, and all other works of authorship, by establishing a property right in the commercial use of a person’s name, voice, signature, photograph, or likeness. This right is generally called a “right of publicity” and has often been appropriated by promoters and marketers of the music of Hawaii, without the permission of the artists and their heirs, to sell products that are objectionable to the artists and heirs, yet feature the artist’s name, voice, signature, photograph, or likeness. The bill is detailed, including provisions relating to transfer of the right, injunctions and damages for infringement of the right, and exemptions for situations where the law would not apply. We believe the bill strikes a reasonable balance between protecting the right and recognizing that the right is not absolute. Mahalo for the opportunity to testify. fukunaga4 - Michelle From: Sen. Carol Fukunaga Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 3:50 PM To: fukunaga4 - Michelle; Jared Yamanuha Subject: FW: Publicity Rights Bill SN-1005 Attachments: SB1005_.pdf For 2/9/09 hearing testimony ------ Forwarded Message From: Eric Keawe <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2009 18:47:15 -1000 To: <[email protected]> Cc: Carol Fukunaga <[email protected]>, Rosalyn Baker <[email protected]>, Clayton Hee <[email protected]>, David Ige <[email protected]>, Sam Slom <[email protected]> Subject: Publicity Rights Bill SN-1005 Dear Friends, I would like to share with you information about a “Publicity Rights” Bill now pending in the Legislature.

  • Testimony of Mufi Hannemann President & CEO Hawai'i Lodging & Tourism Association House Committee on Veteran, Military
    HAWAl‘l LODGING & TOURISM ASSOCIATION Testimony of Mufi Hannemann President & CEO Hawai‘i Lodging & Tourism Association House Committee on Veteran, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts House Concurrent Resolution 70 Requesting the United States Postal Service to issue a commemorative postage stamp in honor of Alfred Apaka. Aloha Chair Ito, Vice Chair Tokioka and members of the committee, on behalf of the Hawai‘i Lodging & Tourism Association and its 700-plus members we offer strong support for HCR 70 which would request of the US Postal Service to issue a commemorative postage stamp in honor of Alfred Apaka, legendary Hawaiian entertainer and showman. As a state we pride ourselves on our Native Hawaiian culture and our Aloha spirit, two very unique features that help set us apart from the rest of the world. One very important aspect of our culture is and has been our islands’ music, a genre that has helped set the stage for Hawai‘i as a global destination. We have seen the pioneers of our state’s music from Don Ho to Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and others who have made a name for themselves locally, nationally, and internationally. But before these gentlemen hit the scene there was another musical legend, Alfred Apaka, the pioneer who first introduced the world to Hawai‘i’s music. Alfred Apaka, frequently known as the Golden Voice of Hawai‘i, has created a legacy for himself as he headlined venues such as the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, the Moana Surfrider, Don at the Beachcomber, and Kaiser’s Hawaiian Village where he entertained thousands of visitors and locals alike.

  • Mormon Influences on the Waikiki Entertainment Scene
    Mormon Influences on the Waikīkī Entertainment Scene by Ishmael W. Stagner, II Before we can discuss the influence of Mormon Hawaiians on the Waikīkī music scene, we need to understand a few things about the development of Hawaiian music and its relationship to things developing in Waikīkī. It is normally thought that the apex of Hawaiian entertaining is being able to entertain on a steady basis in a Waikīkī showroom, or venue. However, this has not always been the case, especially as this relates to the Waikīkī experience. In fact, we need to go back only to the post World War II period to see that entertaining in Waikīkī, especially on a steady basis, was both rare and limited to a very few selected entertainers, most of whom, surprisingly, were not Hawaiian. There were a number of reasons for this, but the main reason for the scarcity of Hawaiian, or Polynesian entertainers in Waikīkī in any great number, goes back to the history of Waikīkī itself. At the turn of the 20th century, Waikīkī was still mostly a swamp, filled with taro patches, rice paddies and fish ponds. We have only to look at the pictures of Ray Jerome Baker, the great photographer of early 20th century Honolulu, to see that Waikīkī was, first and foremost, a bread basket area whose lowlands were the delta areas for the run-off waters of Mānoa, Pauoa, and Pālolo streams. As such, Waikīkī fed much of what we call East Oahu, and rivaled the food production and water-storage capacities of better-known farming areas such as Kāne‘ohe, Kahalu‘u and Waiāhole.
