Soothing outreach

In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, a loose coalition of Kailua helping professionals is offering free services in such areas as massage and chiropractic for three evenings in October and November.

To make an appointment, call the Peace and Well-Being Collective at 262-2375. The free services will be offered from 7-10 p.m. Oct. 17 and 24 and Nov. 1 at the office of Dr. Dean Nelson at Windhorse Healthcare at Pali Palms, 970 N. Kalaheo Ave., Suite 315.

"We originally started out to network, to get to know who's in the community with like-minded feelings about helping people in the community," said counselor Deja DeGrazia Glover, a spokesperson for the group. But because of the Sept. 11 terrorism, she said the group wanted to do something immediate and offer free services to those suffering. The specialists include a counselor, chiropractor, massage therapist, mediator, psychologist, aroma therapist, pilates instructor, yoga practitioner, acupuncturist, hypnotherapist and pre-and post-natal counselor.

Even if you don't — or can't — run in Sunday's Race for the Cure to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer research, there is a way you can contribute to the cause: Buy a scarf.

Carlisle, an upscale clothing line sold seasonally by private fashion consultants in their homes, will donate every cent earned from the sale of the $125 accessory to the foundation. The satin chiffon oblong scarf, measuring 20 by 60 inches, is a limited edition. Sales of the scarves over the years have enabled Carlisle to donate $604,000 to the organization. "Women are the core of our business, and we believe in supporting a cause that affects all American women," said Jan George, a Honolulu Carlisle consultant whose sister is a breast cancer survivor. For information, call George at 396-8847.

UPN's "Enterprise" will break with "Star Trek" tradition by introducing a theme song that includes lyrics rather than an instrumental piece. British tenor Russell Watson, who has scored on classical and pop charts, sings "Where My Heart Will Take Me" ("Theme from Enterprise") during the opening of the "Star Trek" prequel, which premieres today. The series, starring Scott Bakula, takes place in the 22nd century, 100 years before the original "Trek."

"I felt very strongly that for this new series, which is dramatically different in many ways, the opening title should be dramatically different," says executive producer Rick Berman.
