DOUBLE TAKES galore around the bar at Pan-cho Villa on Kalakaua Monday when diner David Brenner stopped (en route to the washroom) to catch himself on TV hosting the "Tonight Show" By SANDRA S. OSHIRO Adwrtiner Government Bureau The Senate passed its version of the adjusted state biennial budget last night, moving the Legislature closer to the inevitable contest between the two houses over what the final budget should look like.

The budget bill, which differs sharply from the House measure approved earlier, was drafted on the hope that the state's revenue picture will improve in the next few months. The Senate is pinning the funding of its pet projects on an early estimate that the state's 1977-78 tax revenues will increase at a rate of 8.3 percent over the 1976-77 receipts, despite recent experience that indicate revenues are being collected at a growth rate of only 6.1 percent. In its report to the Senate, the Ways and Means Committee said that it is "problematic as to whether (the 8.3 percent projection will be attained by the end of June this year." Because of this uncertainty, the committee offered to the Senate a budget that took in most of the governor's request for supplemental funding but which was also trimmed to make room for the legislators' own According to the committee, the move will not hurt important state services and will refocus the budgetary priorities of the state. Among the differences that the House and Senate must resolve is the sum that will be set aside for programs tagged by representatives as most important to them. The House lumped the programs together without individual appropriations and designated $5 million for the package.

The Senate committee cut that down to $1 million and noted that specific dollar amounts for the House projects would likely emerge during conference. The Senate committee inserted in the budget a $10.2 million appropriation that the House also approved, which University of Hawaii officials said is enough to fund the first phase of athletic facilities at the Manoa campus. The House and Senate also agreed to fund the special needs program which gives sums of money to individual schools to use at their discretion, but the Senate committee set aside only the amount needed to maintain the project at its current level. The House approved an increase in funding for the program, an amount originally appropriated by the Legislature to the state Department of Education but restricted by half by the governor. Other important Senate provisions in the budget bill increase by $1.5 million an earlier appropriation of the same amount for the Constitutional Convention and fund an emergency medical service training program which was in jeopardy because of federal funds that are due to lapse in the summer.

In a separate piece of legislation, the Senate approved a $2.5 million appropriation for the State Comprehensive Employment Training program, the temporary work project which is being reduced through natural attrition and placement of participants in permanent jobs. The amount differs from the House appropriation which totaled about $6.4 million aimed at maintaining the program at a high level. The House Finance Committee noted in its report on the appropriations bill that unemployment is still rampant and that efforts should be directed toward stimulating new jobs. The Senate committee, however, noted that the program's work force of 1.100 participants is expected to be reduced by about 900 by June and that the state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations is expected to continue the reduction of SCET enrollments through next year.

Meanwhile, bills have been introduced in the current session of the Legislature to specifically give Hawaii judges the sentencing discretion to provide for public service work in lieu of fines or jail. The bill in the Senate has died but a companion one in the House remains alive. Kimura said he often would have to resort to fines defendants cannot afford or require jail terms if he were not allowed the option of public work. He said the proposed state law would eliminate any issue over sentencing authority.

But, he said, "I don't feel I need it (the amendment) to carry on at this time." The issue of making public service work a term of the sentence was raised in September by another Big Islander, veteran District Judge Mark Norman Olds. Olds, who had considered adopting Ki-mura's policy for his own sentencings. asked last fall if such a practice might constitute "involuntary servitude" and also asked what liability the state might incur if an offender working out his sen tence were injured on the job. The attorney general's resulting opin-! ion did not answer the second question. But the administrative agency concluded "it is the legislative, rather than judicial function to prescribe the penalties for a crime." The opinion added that what Kimura and Ernest Kubota, the other Big Island circuit court judge who had followeclsuit on the sentencing, were doing may have violated the civil rights of the defendants they had sentenced to work instead of jail.

At first, Kimura said he would comply with the opinion and a subsequent advisory letter from Lester Cingcade. administrative director of the district courts, urging judges to abide by the attorney general's opinion. Because of the opinion. Olds said the issue is moot. For over two years, Kimura has sentenced more than 100 persons to public work.

Depending on their experience and skills, he has prescribed work ranging from volunteering hours in youth and elderly programs to picking up trash around public buildings and emptying bedpans. By HUGH CLARK Advertiser Bif Island Bureau HILO Judge Shunichi Kimura has decided to resume sentencing Big Island offenders to public service work despite a state attorney general's opinion that such penalty provisions may not be legal. The 3rd Circuit Court judge last week sentenced a Kona woman convicted of marijuana possession to $200 worth of community service, quietly signaling his resumption of such sentencings. Kimura in late December had halted assigning various forms of public work as sentences following an attorney general's opinion that such methods may be usurping legislative authority. In an interview with The Advertiser, Kimura said he has reviewed the legal issues of the sentencing over the last three months and has concluded he was doing nothing wrong.

"This is just another form of restitution," he said, "restitution to society." Kimura said he concluded that "public service sentences are within the authority of this court." He said he now regards the December opinion as being limited to the district I Brenner volleyball star Mark Pick and Samoan fireknife dancers Levi Olomua Loleni Talo came off the course at Olomana Golf Links, they were surprised to be treated to a free concert by Gabby Pahinui, who due to an injury can't play golf but hangs out there anyway Winging into town alone and unnoticed Tuesday: Robert Walden, who plays Joe Rossi on The Best show in television Lou Grant.

The trouble is, parents and parenting are not.

So says Dr. Lawrence Fuchs, author and professor of American Studies at Brandeis University, who believes the time has come to re-emphasize the importance of parents mothers as well as fathers in the rearing of healthy, well-adjusted children. "If we compare our situation today with that of 100 years ago in the United States, two main facts stand out. First, parents believed their job was significant. They believed that what they did made a critical difference in the moral, emotional and physical well-being of their children," Fuchs said.

"Second, children grew up in a family context in which most of their significant learning values, attitudes and skills took place within the family. "Not many mothers who ministered to children with whooping cough, diphtheria, tuberculosis and influenza doubted their significance even though they were bone tired when they went to bed at night," Fuchs said. Today, with advancements in technology and medical care, with the sexual revolution and children's liberation, and with more women than ever before entering the work force, Fuchs admits being a parent is still a tough job. He says parents are less confident about their roles and have begun to seriously doubt whether the values they hope to pass on to their children will really stick.

'K 1 Pono," is recognized as an authority on ethnic and religious factors in American life. He was the keynote speaker yesterday at the first full-day session of a special conference on The Family in Hawaii, sponsored jointly by the Honolulu Junior League and the University of Hawaii. According to Fuchs, society's attitude toward parenting is reflected in the fact that the services of mothers and housewives have no market value "except if they are practiced in someone else's home and they are held in such low esteem that they do not even count toward Social Security." "Surely, if a society thinks that parenting is important, it would allow contributions to Social Security in amounts equivalent to the self-employment rate for mothers or fathers who stay at home to take care of children," he said.

"The fact is, we do have many laws, including tax policies, which penalize those who try to keep parenting within the family, as does the child-care deduction which is available only when both parents work outside the home." Fuchs urged men to take a more active role in "fathering." "Although there is little evidence that fathers of any class, from any ethnic or religious background are ready for a transfer of roles or even a sharing of parenting roles as advocated by many feminists, society can at least take certain steps to encourage fathering," he said. "For beginners, there seems to be wide agreement that we can remove the welfare incentives which encourage desertion, a major factor in child neglect among the poor." Fuchs also said certain experiments can be undertaken at the state and federal level to encourage family unity. These include: Exploring options for part-time work and flexible work schedules. Providing incentives for business to stop moving personnel around so often. Changing the military policy of moving families from station to station.

Fuchs then left conferees with a piece of homespun philosophy passed down by his grandmother: "Whether you are rich or poor, working or not, it is possible to ask your children to bring their friends home to be introduced, to look at report cards and to talk with teachers, to enforce a curfew, to cook a good breakfast or at least a nutritious one to take an interest in the children's lives, their friends and what they are doing, to involve them early in household responsibilities and child care tasks, to have convictions to what is right and wrong, to believe in them, act on them, and to consistently and compassionately enforce the guidelines that one sets."
