'Stay at Home' Dilemma

HPR’s Ashley Mizuo has been looking at Covid and the homeless. She shares stories behind the numbers following arrests made by Honolulu police when the 'stay at home' orders first went into effect months ago. How do these rules affect those who do not have homes?

Advanced Healthcare Directives

It's important to plan your healthcare decisions as well as financial and legal matters at the end of life, especially during this time of pandemic.  The University of Hawaii Elder Law Program at the William S. Richardson School of Law teaches students about elder law, and provides legal services to seniors and their caregivers.

Surfing Meets Snow in Gerry Lopez Big Wave Challenge

Hawaii’s own Gerry Lopez, also known as Mr. Pipeline, was a pioneer in the early days of big wave surfing. Later in life, he found a new passion: snowboarding. At Oregon’s Mount Bachelor, Lopez developed a snowboarding contest inspired by his favorite surf spots from around the globe.

Chinatown Walking Tour

Not too long ago, we took part in a walking tour of Honolulu’s Chinatown Historic District. We tagged along with AARP members as part of a series of events sponsored by the organization. It’s a popular tour regularly offered through the Hawaii Heritage Center. Longtime volunteer Director Karen Motosue gave our group a VIP tour.
