Darcy Rosie, the International Vice-President for the North/Northwest Region flew in from Canada to attend and speak to the region. Guest speakers included Maui CC faculty members Will Griffis and Vinnie Linares. All chapter 'members participated in group activities based on the honors studt topic, which included a charade-type game and a challenging activity that required 20 members per team to each memorize one sentence in one minute then organize themselves into a paragraph leading to very diverse results.
The general consensus seems to be that the Regional Convention was an incredible success, enjoyable, as well as enriching.

Island chefs share their secrets By Anthony Montero Staff Writer
Imagine the sights and smells of exotic mouth watering dishes from Kaua 'i; Maui; Hawai 'i; Uina 'i; and Oahu prepared right in front of you, all in the same day.
KCC Food Service students were treated to a demonstration by five chefs and Master Sommelier Chuck Furuya on March 28 in 'Obi 'a 118.
EDITORIAL
The five chefs were Jean-Marie Josselin of Pacific Cafe,Kaua'i; Beverley Gannon of Hailemaile Cafe,Maui; Peter Merriman of Merrimans on Hawai'i; Phillipe Padorani of Manele Bay Hotel, Lana 'i; and Gary Strehl of Hawaii Prince Hotel, Prince Court, O'ahu.
The demonstration, which was funded by theDBEDID(Department of Business Economic Development and Tourism Department, was coordinated by Furuya.
Justice not making 'ceQts' If you've ever been a victim at our
traffic courts or been reading the commentaries about the District Court System since the involvement of Senator Donna Ikeda (The Honolulu Advertiser, February 4, 1994), then I'm sure you're aware of the frustrations, the wasted time and money and overall mismanagement of our court system.
In many comments that appeared in the "Letters" section of The Honolulu Advertiser February 21, 1994, the general feeling was that those entrusted to run the court system have the wrong attitude about traffic violators and their time and money. Why not have trained driving instructors, already in the field, make decisions using the law and common sense. I think Judges would rather deal with more important matters than to judge someone who has parked beyond their time limit. ·
As to the issue on failure to pay fines, Richard Kahle, collections officerfortheStateDepartmentofTaxation, admits the backlog in processing the load of violation payments arriving each day. How can the system charge fines for non-payments and late payments when their own force cannot verify or deny receiving
payment. Here is a solution--let banks and other financial institutions handle incomingpaymentsandissuereceipts (stamp copy of violation "paid", then credit the State's account. I'm sure the expense of these transactions could be drawn from the savings of return envelopes, postage, and staff vacancies that the state is now paying for anyway. Imagine, paying you're parking ticket at any bank, savings and loan, credit union and receiving a receipt marked paid. No lost or misplaced mail or question about a payment that can come back to haunt you.
This system of banking collection may even cut down on ticket-fixing, where someone knows someone who can virtually cancel the violation. Cases with multiple violations should be worked out in court, but the vast majority of violations can and should be handled more efficiently.
Sometimes our system seems to blow up situations and seemed unconcerned about the expense involved, spend $10 to get $1, with no use of common sense. It should be everyone's responsibility to be aware and act upon changes to speed up and unclog the system.

Pohaku 0 Leahi: an inspired direction for life By Moriso Teraoka Staff Writer
Here at KCC the month of April can appropriately be called artist Lucille Cooper month. Starting this week the Koa Gallery will present a retrospective of Cooper's ceramic sculpture and paintings until April 21.
On April 5, from 4-5 p.m. her ceramic sculpture fountain, "Pohaku 0 Leahi" (rocks of Diamond Head), will be dedicated in front of the entrance to Ohelo. This will be followed by a reception at the Koa Gallery in honor of the artist.
Continuing the celebration, a special dinner has been planned in the Ohelo Fine Dining Room recognizing the artist and benefiting the KCC Fine Arts Program. The dinner will feature a menu by Chef Amy FerusonOta of the Ritz Carlton Mauna Lani and wines by Charles Furuya, Master Sommelier. Ferguson-Ota has appeared on Julia Child's "Master Chefs," progrnm on TV.
The fountain was commissioned by the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts which selects art work to adorn new state buildings. One percent of the total cost of a building is allotted for this purpose.
In 1989, KCC invited 12 local artists to submit designs for an art piece that would be placed on campus. An art advisory committee from the college selected Cooper's model.
Cooper's sculpture design was inspired while living in Hilo during a period when the volcanos were constantly erupting. The lava flow gave her ideas for the colors and glazes she wanted to use on her fountain. Onecolorthatsheparticularly liked was the Hata Red, a glaze
that turns bright red or brownish and black when flred.
According to Cooper, the three stacks of ceramic pieces in the oval shaped pool represent polwku (rock forms). Pohaku plays an important part in the history and legend of Hawaii." Ancient Hawaiians felt that the spirit of their gods were embodied in certain naturally shaped or carved rocks," she said.
"Throughout the Hawaiian Islands, stacked Pohaku can be found to show the traveler the way, the direction. The triumvirate of stacked Pohaku in the pool is a symbol of direction and will stand at KCC as a trail-marker, to inspire, to guide and to instill the spirit of Hawaii to the students. The rim of the fountain is made up of small tile pieces with a symbolic impression of the wan a or sea-urchins," said Cooper.
Havingstudiedartatthe University of California, Los Angeles, University of Hawaii and at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, Cooper's art fonns not only involve clay but that of oil, water

Among her outstanding work is a ceramic mural titled, "Reef/," andean be seen at the Princeville Hotel on Kauai. Another huge ceramic mural titled, "Reef II," is displayed at the Chief Petty Officer's club near Pearl Harbor. Commissioned in 1982, this piece of clay and fiber weighs about a ton and measures 32' X 7'. Cooper has created several murals for Ha-
waii public school buildings. LivinginHawaiisince 1946,Coo
per has developed a lasting interest in Hawaii's volcanoes, the lava flows and thestoriesofMadame Pele which continue to inspire her work in ceramic. Yet her paintings are still largely influenced by the ocean, Cooper said.
Cooper said she is grateful to KCC for the use of its facilities at Koa and especially to art instructor Kauka De Silva She also commended Michael Deooent and Laurie Siegfried for their generous help throughout the semester break last December.
The • magic of Jethro Toll returns to Hawai'i By Tom Wade Kapi 'o Editor
Honolulu, HI March 16, 1994
It will be talked about for years. Those in attendance at After Dark
last night witnessed an extraordinary event. Presented by Golden Voice Productions, Ian Anderson, along with Jethro Tull, stormed Honolulu and put on a show which undoubted! y sent many loyal fans horne dazed and confused and talking to themselves. In a display of pure musical and athletic talent, Anderson, with help from his friends, joined center stage to perform their eclectic brand of vintage rock 'nroll. In what seemed a personal tribute to their own longevity, Tull orchestrated an impressive one and one-half hours of infallible entertainment.
Tucked high on stage in the far left comer of the once warehouse converted concert hall, Tull kept the audience mesmerized with their '90s
version of classic rock. Spiced with a variety of seasoned tunes such as "Locomotive Breath" and "Thick as a Brick," the band kept up a ferocious pace. And, still crazy after all these years, Anderson continues to amaze those faithful by performing his flute while balanced delicately on one leg.
Atop the cold cement foundation of the darkened hall, reminiscence of days gone past thickened with each tune. Nostalgia was in the air, as Tull ripped open their immortal singles treasure chest to perform yet another favorite, "Living in the Past." For a mere twenty bucks, the audience stood in awe listening to the music, breaking into wild applause at each songs ending.
Since their beginning in 1968, Tull has sold more than 30 million albums and has earned 44 gold and 14 platinum discs. Their classicalbum "Aqualung" is a multi-platinum recording, and has sold more than five million copies 'since its release. Recently the band retwned to tour-
ing with the same wily enthusiasm which gained them world-wide acceptance during the '70s and early '80s.
From the moment they appeared on stage, Tull played flawlessly. Often reeled into a passionate frenzy, Anderson leaped with maniacal excitement across the triangular stage. Wishing for another two-feet of space to exhibit his athletic prowess, he seemed nevertheless to be taking great pleasure in the playful atmosphere of the event.
Ian Anderson was definitely having his say.
The performance was one for the ages. Although it was an aging crowd, after the show many people were overheard speaking in reverence of this famed British-rock combo. A multi-instrumental festival consisting of keyboards, drums, lead and bass guitar, plus the omnipresent magical flute, Tull' s music continues to manifest a certain mystical quality.
Perhaps Hawaii was a better place for the evening. Those in attendance knew they were witnessing an historical event. Ian Anderson and his venerable gang of multi-talented friends, Jethro Tull, accomplished last night which will arguably stand
Ian Anderson thrills an excited fan.
the test of time. Flying in to play a one night engagement, they proved to Honolulu, and therestofthe world, that while major fluctuations in musical gemes sometimes dictate faddish-like phenomena, classic rock 'n roll is here to stay.
