Bill to Create Agricultural Conservation Lots: Don Guzman
You’ve heard that old expression about the sum of the parts being greater than the whole. Later today, Maui County Council’s Economic Development, Energy, Agriculture and Recreation Committee will review a bill that seems to make that point...at least according to chair Don Guzman. We spoke early this morning about his bill that would create agricultural conservation lots along with residential development by reconfiguring how a parcel could be subdivided.

Blues Musician: Chris Thomas King
Chris Thomas King was born into the blues, and although his music has roots in an earlier era, he’s finding ways to keep it fresh in a new century. As he’s learning from the response to his recordings and public appearances, the music always seems to find a new young audience as succeeding generations get the message. He’s in the islands for the first time for a series of performances, and he joined us guitar in hand.

AARP National President: Jeannine English
AARP and people under the age of 40 may not go together in your head, but with Hawaii’s many multigenerational households, and our long lived residents, you might want to reevaluate your thinking...AARP’s president is in Hawaii this week talking about the Age Friendly City Initiative. While you may be interested in how it will affect older members of your family, the urbanization component of the initiative could affect you right now.

Story Book Theater - 35 years: Mark Parrish
For 35 years now, the Storybook Theatre of Hawaii, in Hanapepe, Kauai, has taken on the challenge of creating shows for young children that are entertaining, informative, and tailored specifically to a local audience. For Mark Parrish, that means adopting an alter ego, Captain Mark, who visits elementary school classrooms around the state with his inflatable whales. It’s all part of the ongoing challenge that children’s theaters face: finding out what makes kids sit up, take notice, and maybe even learn something.
