Started in Public Access in 1970. Been involved since there in N.Y. Worked for public access at a grass roots level with the community. Work for `Olelo since 1999. Have recently started my own video production operation. There are more than a few issues that need to be addressed in terms of improving that which we have and make better use of what the future has for us. `Olelo has an opportunity to go to the fromt of the class in terms of what public access can offer the community.

I have been a certified producer with `Olelo since February 2003. I have produced a few programs such as, Empower yourself, Weed –N- Seed and Miss Hawaii Teen USA Fundraiser with Savannah Werner. I have taken the producers class, pd 100, DSR-1 and studio. I have lived on the Waianae Coast for 13 years. I would be happy to represent the Waianae `Olelo Satellite Office and focus on helping new producers take the steps needed to bring their productions to air. I will be available to hear their concerns and communicate them appropriately.

Series Producer and `Olelo Host of Made by Native Hawaiians TV show since 1993, over 75 shows produced for Public Access TV. Series Producer of Progressive Democrats TV shows and Young Democrats TV show, Health Educator, community advocate, special events and community education organizer.

I am the president of a non-profit organization, Na Lima Aloha, and, as a certified producer, much of the programming I do is related Na Lima’s mission. I am also very excited to share with all people of Hawaii the tremendous potential that exists for them to share their specific interests with others in the community. I am encouraged by `Olelo’s commitment to making this opportunity available to as many people as possible and strive to spread the word. I am continually looking for others I can assist by helping them to bring their story to Hawaii, through `Olelo.

Served as a past member of the ASAC Committee. Has spent time working on behalf of `Olelo clients by helping to institute the tape reimbursement program and has pushed for client checkout of decks. Dennis is an advocate for better equipment and enjoys working as a mentor for new and existing clients. Dennis has helped to create hundreds of hours of programming for `Olelo’s channels.

Laurie Veatch

I am currently the producer, editor and cameraperson for Kukui Connection, a half-hour series that airs every Sunday at 4:30 pm on channel 54. The moderator for the series is State Representative Marilyn B. Lee. I have attended ASAC and `Olelo Board of Directors meetings.
I consider `Olelo to be an extremely important vehicle for public access to television communication. As an ASAC member I would be accessible to clients via email (lauriev@aloha.net), and I would work with ASAC for wide dissemination of ASAC minutes, notices, and questionnaires asking for client suggestions.
