Aloha mai kakou from Leslie Wilcox, President and CEO... 
My guest on the next
LONG STORY SHORT
(Tues., June 2, 7:30 pm) is Mitch D’Olier, who grew up on Chicago’s South Side
and heeded his mother’s advice to make the most of his public education and earn a
degree beyond college. Fresh out of law school, he arrived in Hawaii and fell
in love with the Islands. Over the years, he led Hawaiian Airlines in tough times,
helped guide the development of Kakaako and Kailua, and he has devoted tremendous
spare time hours to improving public education in Hawaii.
The close of another school year brings a new special edition of
HIKI NŌ
(Thurs., June 4, 7:30 pm). HIKI NŌ alum Victoria Cuba (pictured) presents some of
the school year’s outstanding stories. We met Victoria as a 12th grader,
after revealing to astounded HIKI NŌ schoolmates that she’d been homeless off and
on for years. Now in college on multiple scholarships, she lives during the school
year in a UH Manoa dorm. Victoria has a part-time student tech job here at PBS Hawaii
and interns at Hawaii News Now. Still, housing remains a challenge during the summertime.
Other HIKI NŌ schools contributing student stories to this edition: Konawaena High School (Hawaii Island); Kapaa High School (Kauai); Maui Waena Intermediate School (Maui); Ewa Makai Middle School, Mid-Pacific Institute, and Moanalua High School (Oahu). This program encores Saturday, June 6 at 12:30 pm and Sunday, June 7 at 3:00 pm. You can also view HIKI NŌ episodes on our website, www.pbshawaii.org/hikino. 
The Hawaii State Legislature set a goal of 100% renewable energy by 2045. Currently
we’re on track to meet a previously set goal of 40% renewable energy by 2030.
However, we remain the most fossil fuel-dependent state in the nation, with billions
of dollars of the State’s economy spent each year on imported fuel. The next
INSIGHTS ON PBS HAWAII
(Thurs., June 4, 8:00 pm) asks: Is 100% Renewable Energy Attainable?
INSIGHTS ON PBS HAWAII is a live public affairs show that is also live streamed on PBSHawaii.org. Your questions and comments are welcome via phone, email, or Twitter. You may also email your questions ahead of time to insights@pbshawaii.org. Here are other highlights of the week ahead on PBS Hawaii: 
FAKE OR FORTUNE? (Sun., May 31, 10:00 pm) finds the team meeting up with
scriptwriter Keith Tutt, who is in love with the work of French post-impressionist
painter Edouard Vuillard. When a large oval by the artist appeared in a
provincial auction house, Tutt gambled his savings on it, even though it doesn’t
appear in the official record of Vuillard’s works. To prove the work is authentic,
the team will need to convince some of the most demanding art experts in France.
On A CHEF’S LIFE Tomatoes... You Say Heirloom, I Say Old Timey (Wed., June 3,
7:30 pm), Chef Vivian learns the old-fashioned way to can tomatoes. She also prepares
a luncheon at the restaurant for food enthusiasts from around the country and plans to
serve them the “ultimate tomato sandwich.”
The Tenors – Victor Micallef, Clifton Murray, Remigio Pereira and Fraser Walters
– deliver a blend of classical and contemporary pop that developed from their
backgrounds: two members are classically trained opera singers and two are from the
world of pop and stage music. On Under One Sky (Wed., June 3, 8:00 pm), enjoy
their rich, soulful voices as they sing arrangements of beloved songs, including
“Lean on Me,” “Besame Mucho” and “You Are So Beautiful.”
Encore pick of the week: 
Country Pop Legends (Sat., June 6, 8:00 pm) perform their biggest and most-loved hit recordings from the 50s, 60s and 70s in this special, hosted by country music legend Roy Clark. Performances from Glen Campbell (pictured),
Crystal Gayle, Bill Anderson, BJ Thomas, the Bellamy Brothers, and more are featured, along
with full-length vintage archival gems from the vaults.
