Del.icio.usOn stage this month: Mililani’s Steve Jones and Loretta Ables Sayre, and Nalani Choy (of Haleiwa) and Na Leo. They are part of Matt Catingub‘s Return to Romance Music Festival, happening this week all over Oahu ... Works by Mililani artist Ria Keltz-Remenar comprise half of the 60-painting exhibit War and Peace, which opens March 12 at the Pauahi Tower Mezzanine downtown (371-1104).

Miles Sato
Mililani High School’s team of Travis Kimura and Anela Loo have weathered the stock market well this school year. Advised by their teacher, Loraine Honda, they nurtured a (pretend) $100,000 investment up to $102,385.34 to win the Income Growth Division of the Fall 2006 Hawaii Stock Market Simulation, sponsored by the Hawaii Council on Economic Education ... Speaking of money and investments, in the real world Miles Sato of Mililani earned a promotion to assistant vice president and information security officer and manager for Central Pacific Bank. His B.A. in experimental psychology, MS in biostatistics and master of public health degrees should come in handy ... In yet another form of finance, we should hear soon from Wahiawa’s Leroy Chincio, who won a $10,000 seat in the Celebrity Invitational World Poker Tour, which took place March 3-5 in Los Angeles.

Edward Millet
Itsuo Tomita
Edward Millet, a substance abuse counselor for military families, assists students at Wheeler Middle School. Ed won the 2007 Ola Pono Award for the healthy alternatives he offers to the kids, making sure they “have a place to go and something creative and constructive to do.” That’s in addition to his steady caseload of other clients. Also honored with the Ola Pono Award (by HMSA, Coalition for a Drug-Free Hawaii, the DOE and state Attorney General) were Wahiawa Elementary’s Itsuo Tomita and Mere Taeu. Besides guiding students safely to and from campus as its crossing guard, Itsuo coaches intramural sports, does recess duty and settles disputes.
Mere Taeu
Mere is the health aide who “welcomes the hurt and repairs the human spirit.” She also works with families from Micronesia to help them assimilate to their new school and culture. All three are donating their $1,000 cash awards to their favorite schools ... Wahiawa fourth-grader Erin Ishiyama placed first for her essay on “Fairness” in the state level of the 2006 contest sponsored by the National Association for Family and Community Education ... Former Wahiawa resident Elizabeth Hartnett flies to Toronto this month to compete in the Music Teachers National Assn. Young Artist Voice Competition (Can she sing that in one breath?)
