(To honor)
Jacqueline “Skylark” Rossetti
 Broadcasting Award
 
Commemorating Excellence in Broadcasting,
Outstanding Impacts and Life’s Works
For more than 20 years, Skylark Rossetti worked closely with the Na‘alehu Theatre. We were so effected by her aloha and by her life’s work in media that we initiated the, Jacqueline “Skylark” Rossetti Broadcasting Award Commemorating Excellence in Broadcasting for Outstanding Impacts and Life’s Works.

Recipient of the 2022 4th Annual 
Jacqueline “Skylark” Rossetti Broadcasting Award
Krash Kealoha
Krash Kealoha (Victor Opiopio) is widely recognized as the father of modern Hawaiian radio. As the Program Director for KCCN AM and FM 100, then the world’s only all-Hawaiian music radio station, Krash played an integral part in preserving, protecting and promoting Hawai‘i’s music and the welfare of Hawai‘i’s music industry. He was first to broadcast local music to the people who loved it, pushing Hawaiian music into the forefront. Skylark Rossetti said, "It was at the insistence of Krash that we acknowledge our roots and our culture and embrace who we are." 
Hawaiian music was always on Kealoha's mind. He became the leader of a unique group of people who would continue to shape Hawaiian music for more than 40 years. As a major figure in Hawai‘i’s music scene, he produced both radio and television shows, managed local musical groups and in 1978, founded the Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards, receiving the organization’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002. As an actor, Kealoha appeared in several filmed in Hawai‘i TV series including the original “Hawaii Five-0”,  “Magnum, P.I.”, and The Jeffersons.
Kealoha was also known for his spirit of aloha which he brought to the airwaves and expressed in everything he did. It was this personal magnetism that brought ideas and people together. He took care to pass it forward to a younger generation of not only radio people, but entertainers. And that has become his lasting legacy.
On Thanksgiving day, 2010, at 61, Krash Kealoha passed on. Although he is gone, his legacy will endure, as long as the sweet sounds of Hawaiian music play on. 
The 2022 Jacqueline “Skylark” Rossetti Broadcasting Award, accepted by his wife, Christine Opiopio, recognizes the perpetual influence of Skylark's dear friend and mentor Krash Kealoha. 
He aliʻi ka ʻāina; he kauwa ke kanaka.
Land is a chief; man its servant.

Mahalo nui to the over 1,200 people who came out for the 2022 Waimānalo Beach Clean-Up! With your help, we were able to remove over 1,000 pounds of trash from the Waimānalo beaches. We couldn't have done it without all of you! And we look forward to seeing there again next year.

First initiated by Cyril Pahinui, Nāʻālehu Theatre is a proud partner with Sustainable Coastlines for the Waimānalo Beach Clean-Up, held annually on the day following the Waimānalo Kawikapila.

Sustainability is a cultural value that has finally come to the forefront of Hawai‘i’s issues. Planning and executing green events and festivals is on the path to sustainability.

At Nāʻālehu Theatre we not only support these initiatives through our own event production and choices that minimize our negative impact of the environment, we are also proud to partner with environmental educational groups and incorporate their activities into our annual outreach efforts and community giveback.

Introducing Nahenahe Farm
Nahenahe Farm's 'Ohia Cottage
Nahenahe Farm was the dream of my late husband, Cyril Pahinui who was not only a master of Kī Hō'alu but also an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher. One of our mutual passions is supporting Hawaiian music and passing on the Slack Key tradition.

Here at Nahenahe Farm we work alongside Na'alehu Theatre, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization to gather resources for archiving music collections, event production, and providing Hawaiian Music Mentorship.   

To support this effort we are developing a range of Hawai'i products with 100% of profit going toward bringing Hawaiian Music Masters into local schools to mentor youth in traditional music stylings. Through this work we hope to preserve and perpetuate the art form.

Our first project was the complete renovation of the 'Ohia Cottagea well-appointed 2 bedroom guest house in the heart of Kona's coffee belt that offers visitors a spacious and relaxing place to settle in and enjoy Kona's casual, unassuming island-style.

This unique offering comes with a sampling of our local products, pre-arrival consulting, and can include an assortment of personalized guest services. We hope you will come stay with us on your next adventure to Hawai'i Island. To receive the Friends and Family discount please email me in advance to booking.

COFFEE is next! We had an exceptional year here in Kona and our coffee is exceptional! We will soon be launching our website featuring our own 100% Kona Coffee and many other Tropical Delights...stay tuned
