ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
Seniors, test your skills

Advertiser Staff and News Services

Can't see so well? Reflexes slowing? Take the AARP Driver Safety Course that helps seniors determine if they should still be on the road.

According to the Federal Highway Administration, about 38 percent (75 million) of licensed drivers are 50 and older, a number that's increasing.

The class explores relevant laws, safe driving strategies and the importance of monitoring one's own and others' driving skills. The test is online at www.aarp.org/drive/online.

Dr. Zhi Gang Sha will be at the screening of the documentary "Qigong: Ancient Chinese Healing for the 21st Century" at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow at the University of Hawai'i-Manoa Art Auditorium. Post-film, he will hold a workshop.

An MD and traditional Chinese medicine doctor in China, Sha says, "Heal the soul first, then healing of the mind and body will follow." Cost for film and workshop: $45 (includes Sha's book, "Soul Mind Body Medicine").

FINAL WORD

"If high school was a solar system, I was beyond Pluto. I was in the Oort cloud, I was so out. ... Then I betrayed all the nice kids who liked me to hang out with the cool kids."

Stephen Colbert | the "Colbert Report" host, when asked what high school caste he was in, in New York
