STILL REMEMBERING: Though Don Ho's huge memorial tribute is over, and despite his family's tragic loss of daughter Dayna Ho-Henry Friday, Hawai'i isn't done remembering the influential entertainer. This year's Na Hoku Hanohano Awards, set for June 20 at the Hawai'i Convention Center (first time there), will pay homage to Ho, thanks to the efforts of Marlene Sai, who is president of the Hawai'i Academy of Recording Arts. She's also a long-time Ho pal who got her start as a singer at Honey's, Ho's late mother Honey Ho's Kane'ohe establishment way back when. Tickets are $125, available at 593-9424. ...

Ho also will be one of three honorees at the Na Mea Makamae O Waikiki (Honoring Treasures of Waikiki) hoopla Aug. 10 at the Coral Ballroom of the Hilton Hawaiian Village. The 2007 Kahiua Award recipients also include the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center/ Kamehameha Schools and Michael Tongg. The event benefits the Waikiki Community Center. Tickets are $175, available at 923-1802. ...

WHEE, THE PEOPLE: Singer-composer Keith Haugen is a happy soul these days. Six of his tunes are being recorded for release later this year or in 2008 — here, in California and in Japan.

Rowles is a Kiwi, and remains popular in New Zealand and Australia. His version of "Christmas" is a Down Under favorite. ...

STAGE SHORTS: When Broadway actor, producer and director Richard Vida arrived from New York for a vacation, he brought omiyage for local pals. For Eddie Sherman, he packed chubs (smoked whitefish) in checked luggage, since airlines forbid liquid hand-carried items (and ice melts across the continent) and the parcel went straight to Compadres, where server Jake Lowenthal prepped the dish for Sherman. For Channing Weir, who played the lead in the Army Community Theatre's "Annie" production, he secured an autographed original press photo from 30 years ago of Andrea McArdle, who originated the "Annie" role, as well as an autographed copy of McArdle's latest CD. Weir took an acting class with Vida here last August and is now acting in the Performing Arts Center of Kapolei's "Seussical" musical. ...
