Whole world here

In a dozen years as director of Kapi'olani Community College's International Festival, Carl Hefner has brought the world to KCC's students.

This year's festival, which runs today through Thursday and is open to the public, starts off with a Hawaiian blessing and has a packed schedule of lectures, performances and exhibitions.

The event includes Japanese kite-making, African drums, Brazilian music, Indian hand-painting, kim chee making, Javanese court dance, Spanish flamenco, and discussions on North Korea and the nuclear issue, ethnic identify in China, and more. Pick up a flyer at KCC or call 734-9715.


To bus and serve

Former waiter Ray Ancheta isn't as quick as he used to be when it comes to serving restaurant patrons, but he tries year after year.

Ancheta, captain of the Honolulu Police Department's specialized services division, will be among dozens of officers participating in the annual Tip-A-Cop fund-raiser March 17 at participating Ward restaurants.

The officers will pick up trays, for tips that will go to Special Olympics Hawai'i. Officers donning special aprons will be on the job 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 to 9 p.m. such restaurants as Brew Moon, Old Spaghetti Factory, Ryan's Grill and Buca Di Beppo.
