Making
the best of a bad situation. Instead of fretting
when their car broke down Sunday on the side Hana Highway,
friends Karen Hargrove, 17, Viola Gaskell, 15, and Christina
Haywood, 16, decided to soak up the sun. The three were
headed home after spending the day at a waterfall in Haiku.
A friend soon came to the girls' rescue.

New Saturday Programs
At MiLC
The
Maui individualized Learning Center (Sea of Dreams Foundation,
Inc.) will have open registration for two new Saturday morning,
small-group programs. Children will be exposed to an age-appropriate
creative atmosphere that stimulates their desire to learn. Classes
cost only a fraction of the price of individual tutoring, and
run from 9 a.m. to noon at the Center on Lower Main in Wailuku.
“More and more youngsters, ages three to six, are eager
to learn like in ‘real school’,” said director
Nadine Newlight. “We call them our ‘Indigo Tots’
and this program was created especially for them.”
For students who need help with homework, MiLC’s new Saturday,
small-group “Academic Advantage” classes offer students
seven and older the opportunity to ask questions their regular
teachers are too busy to answer. Same hours and tuition.
Maui individualized Learning Center specializes in helping students
with distinctive learning styles to excel in academics. On Maui,
MiLC is the recognized pioneer in tutoring, home school support
and academic summer school. Their “Maui’s Best”
one-on-one tutorials provide a custom-tailored curriculum for
students from pre-kindergarten through college, either at home
or on site in any subject, any day or time; their “Alternative
Academic Year” program offers home schooling away from home,
three mornings each week at their multi-media facility in Wailuku.
For more information or to schedule a visit, call Nadine Newlight
at 244-6119 or visit MiLC on the Web at www.mauilearningcenter.com.
