Our water is precious and we must not waste it. We appreciate your help to conserve water. Mahalo! Below are some suggestions on how YOU can help.

• Learn to listen for signs of leakage (for instance, a toilet that sounds like it is running all the time, is most likely leaking), and always fix leaky faucets and other fixtures as soon as you become aware of the problem. • Use water-efficient fixtures throughout your home. • Routinely check any water-using devices to ensure they are working properly and efficiently. • Take showers instead of baths and save up to 40 gallons of water per shower. • Take shorter showers when you can – the water you save this way will add up tremendously in the long run. • Drop all bathroom waste in the trash instead of flushing it – this will save gallons. • Don’t let the faucet run while brushing your teeth or shaving. • Make sure all your faucets have aerators. • Cooking food in as little water as possible not only saves water, but keeps most of the nutrients in the food. • Consider buying mugs you can keep in the freezer, rather than using ice to cool soft drinks, lemonade, or other beverages. This will save water and keep your drink’s flavor intact. • Don’t run your washing machine when you don’t have a full load to wash. • Don’t pre-rinse dishes unless it’s necessary – most newer dishwashers will thoroughly clean your dishes without needing pre-rinsing under normal circumstances. • To water plants, use “gray” water from activities like washing dishes (unless you use harsh detergents) and showering. • Fill clean bottles or containers with water and refrigerate them rather than letting the faucet run until the water is cool enough to drink. • Thaw food out in advance or use the microwave if needed on short-notice. Don’t thaw out food by running water over it! • If you notice a leaking fixture at work, a hotel, or a restaurant, inform someone so they can have it fixed. • Wash your car by hand with a bucket. • When buying plants, consult with your suppliers. Native plants grow more easily and require less water and maintenance. • Water your lawn during the early morning hours only – this is when less evaporation occurs. • Talk with your co-workers and family about ways to save water – education is the first step! • Thank you for your kokua.

But when 13 year-old Theo Saunders’ mother grades six, seven and eight were supported by visi- children. is struck down by a drunk driver, his reeling family does something wholly unexpected: they seek distracti on and solace in a trip to far-fl ung China. Theo and his twin sister Rose awake to fi nd themselves drowning in a sea of grief and their father is now astonishingly alone, and for the fi rst ti me in his life, unsure of what to do. For Theo and Rose, it’s as if they’ve lost both of their parents. Frozen in place by heartache, the stunned trio reluctantly embark for that alien Asian desti nati on, where distance, love, humor and explorati on are their brightest hope of fi nding a new way of living. Independent Amazon reviewer: “This book is for everyone. Love, loss, guilt, anger and confusion combine with life experiences and courage into the recovery of a young man and his family. Expresses the strength of family, especially when the lost family member carries on in the survivors. The family do not “get back to being themselves” . . . they become new people, stronger, more loving and aware. Contains incisive thoughts on friendships, family connections, personal trust, and the importance of art. Highly recommended.”

Also, if you missed it, be sure to check out Greg’s 1st novel, “Center of Gravity” In this love song to the importance of music in our lives that spans three decades of American musical history, composing team Nate Royce and Gregory Solomon grow, desire, succeed, grieve Andrea Kaopuiki with Peyton and love the same woman. They ride the leaps of radio, records, stereophonic sound, 8-tracks Talia Agliam, Annika Padillo and Evelyn Hera and cassettes. Nate’s son, Ben Royce, follows in the footsteps of his father and Gregory during the critical years when jazz evolved, big bands faded and rock n’ roll emerged, experiencing the tragic rise and fall of Rock pioneer Alan Freed from the inside. Ben’s love for one woman embodies the great love once shared by both his father and Gregory. It is through love and loss, both past and present, that all three men fi nally confront Nate Royce’s most crippling issue: determining how much to risk in life, balanced against what to settle for. Independent Amazon reviewer: “A splendid blend of love, life, music and history! Center of Gravity is a panoramic novel covering the music business from the 1920s to the age of early Rock. The story is told as a family saga of sorts beginning with a knife-throwing vaudeville act, on through two generations of Runyonesque characters, and up almost to the present. The author, who knows his stuff after years in the business of music, spins out an intriguing tale of love and loss, songs and Paperbacks available at: stars, and decades of America’s cultural history. For anyone who enjoys true to life characters, or is Kimora Agliam, with grade 1-2 leader interested in the history of music from Tin Pan Sharon Harris, and Jedidiah Sandi Alley onward, this is a must read. I couldn’t put this Cameron Chin with preschool leader Carolyn book down once I got started with it.” Taylor
