Through Aug. 26, the Volcano Art Center Gallery is exhibiting the work of nine women quilters, most of them from the volcano area.

The exhibit is called "Hawaiian Nature Quilts" and features the work of nine artists.

The quilts come in all sizes, from pillows to queen-size bed covers, in both traditional and contemporary styles. Design themes center on Hawaiian plants such as the 'ulu (breadfruit) and wauke (the paper mulberry plant, used to make kapa).

Unlike most other art forms, quilting is often a shared activity.

These particular artists have all been involved with each other's artistic development for years, including Lisa Adams, Sharon Balai, Mary Cesar, Dina Kageler, Lori Pasco, Zee Sarr, Linda Smith, Kathy Tripp and Irene Tye.

Candy may be dandy as personality meter

Life Savers are now life sayers. According to a survey, you bite your Life Saver candy and chew it up, you have a tendency to be aggressive; those who suck on the entire piece of candy are likely to be more passive. Those inclined to be idealists suck on their candy then crunch on the small pieces; optimists suck on their candy between their teeth and cheek and those who put the tip of their tongue in the hole while sucking on the candy have a tendency to be imaginative and colorful as well as emotional.

These human revelations are from the HOLE Truth Survey conducted by International Consumer Research, commissioned by Life Savers. More people suck their Life Saver candy — four suckers to one biter — and women have a greater tendency to do this than men.

Biters are typically male college-educated Republicans who earn $60,000 or more. Women tend to suck their candy, have two years of college education, are Democrats and earn $40,000 a year or less.

One fact that remains constant: cherry is the overwhelming flavor of choice among Life Savers.
