Chicken soup for PBS

DON HO
PBS Hawai'i enlists the help of several "Chicken Soup From the Soul of Hawai'i" personalities when it launches its August membership drive Sunday. Host Becky Dunning will be in the PBS Hawai'i studios on Dole Street, with book contributors John Lake, Nalani Olds, Danny Kaleikini, Robert Cazimero and more. Viewers can receive autographed copies of books from a selection of contributors, ranging from Kelly Preston to Don Ho.

Among the Sunday programs: "The Concert for World Children's Day" at 6:30 p.m., with performances by Josh Groban, Celine Dion, Enriques Iglesias and Peter Cetera, and "The Beach Boys, Good Timin': Live at Knebworth, England, 1980," at 8:30 p.m.


Fort Street fling

Fresh produce! Plants! Music!

More stuff to do downtown! Some props, please, for a Fort Street Mall Business Improvement District effort to "create an open-air sense of culture and vitality in the downtown workplace."

From 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. today (and on Tuesdays and Fridays thereafter), a Fort Street Promenade will feature an open market with locally-grown produce, plants and fresh flowers near Wilcox Park, at Fort and King streets. A neighboring Noon O'Clock FortFest will offer live music during the lunch hour each Tuesday, featuring string quartets, bagpipers and (hey!) madrigal singers, for starters.


Kudos for 'Ki ho'alu'

"Ki ho'alu: Keola Beamer," an island-made slack-key guitar documentary directed by Ken K. Martinez Burgmaier of Maui, has earned two more laurels: the Aurora Awards 2003 for Platinum Best of Show for directing and the Gold Award in the musical-variety category.

The Auroras recognize achievement in film and video "that generates sparks in creativity and fosters audience response." Burgmaier said he hopes the attention "will perpetuate this beautiful style of music and Hawaiian culture around the world."
