A showcase for short local films
No, not those shorts, your film shorts — because entries are being accepted now for the sixth annual 'Ohina: The Shortfilm Showcase 2004. 'Ohina provides a venue for Hawai'i filmmakers to show their creative talents in an October showcase, held at the Honolulu Academy of Arts Doris Duke Theatre. (Details, dates to be announced later.) Entry forms are available at Blockbuster stores. Films should be less than 30 minutes long. If they're 10 minutes or even shorter, all the better. Entry fee: $10; deadline: Aug. 6.

Whip out those shorts.
Here's reason to go goo-goo ga-ga: baby swimwear that keeps out harmful rays. Sunscreen manufacturer Coppertone introduced brightly colored children's UV-protective items — even swimsuits that look like miniature wet suits, made of nylon and Lycra without any sort of chemical treatment and offer a sun protection factor of 50. These and other items are available in infant, toddler and child sizes.
