Honolulu Star-Bulletin from Honolulu, Hawaii • 30

D-4 Honolulu Star-Bulletin Tuesday, September 30, 1980 63 Run for Seats on Board of Education m. with the state Legislature, especially since education is dependent upon it for funding." NAKAMATSU. 30, of Honolulu, is a lawyer. She is married but has no children. She said that violence, vandalism and drug abuse in the schools must be brought under control.

"I would hire added security forces, roving patrols and install monitored alarm systems in each school. The juvenile justice authorities should provide counseling and guidance personnel on each intermediate and high school campus. On campus and at home, family counseling should be available to any family that requests such assistance," Nakamatsu said. She supports alternative detention centers to concentrate on academic and remedial concerns and said: Continued from Page IM way that it is now being done," Leong said. She thinks, however, that parents should be given more definitive information about the program so they can better decide which classes they want their children to participate in and which ones they want them excused from.

Leong supports competency tests for students. She thinks such tests could be given to teachers "if the results are to be used to inform teachers that they need to upgrade their knowledge in their specific areas of teaching to keep abreast with the expanding knowledge in this ever changing world." Leong thinks education policymaking is the responsibility of the school board but said, "Open lines of communication must be maintained William Woods Janie Nakamatsu Woods thinks the school board should work to further literacy levels of all students; assist non-English speaking students; develop programs to curb school violence against teachers and school proper' ty; maintain a high level of community, legislative and congressional identity with educational needs; and promote positive ethical practices of school board members and related officials. He thinks there should be better monitoring and reports to parents when students are absent from school. "In the K-12 grades I would promote more timely and accurate evaluation methods of students' reading abilities and, where appropriate, intervene to upgrade the reading abilities of slow readers," Woods said. Woods thinks sex education should be taught in the public schools because "human sexuality is an important aspect of every person's life.

He said the present policies which permit students or parents to withdraw their children from such classes is sufficient to protect the concerns of those who object to sex education programs in the public schools. Woods supports competency tests for both students and teachers. Woods said the school board cannot conduct itself as if removed from all outside concerns and must work productively with the state Legislature and other groups. "The Board of Education must take to heart the concerns and ideas of the Legislature in formulating policy as it should from the superintendent, the student population and parents," Woods said. "Many problem kids are simply frustrated with their own lack of mastery of the basic skills.

The frustrated student who can learn but who needs special motivation and treatment must not be ignored because he is expensive or non-compliant. "The board must be willing to sacrifice all other programs for the sake of teaching the basics," Nakamatsu said. "We must begin in the elementary levels and return to a system which effectively teaches basic communication, writing and computation. It is the highest form of failure and neglect if the schools do not attack this problem before it's too late," she said. Nakamatsu thinks sex education should be taught in the public schools but that parents and the community should be given a strong voice over the content of the materials used.

She said parents are primarily responsible for nurturing their children in sex education but the children must be taught their responsibilities in relation to sexual decisions. She supports competency tests for both students and teachers. Nakamatsu said there must be an amicable relationship between the school board and the state Legislature but the board "must remain autonomous from the legislative and executive branches." WOODS. 30, of Honolulu, is executive director of the Sexual Identity Center, vice president of the Volunteer, Information and Referral Service (which includes the Suicide and Crisis Center), and secretary-treasurer of the Professional Law Enforcement Advocates. He is single.

The 65-acre Mana farm has 40 water-surface areas under construction, including 30 ponds. They won't be completed until January, Gibson said. But he said they won't be needed right away because the young prawns will be placed in nursery ponds for about three months. GIBSON SAID the two- to three-year pilot program is designed to answer questions about production and marketing of prawns. "We are running two production technologies side by side to see which is better," he said.

Although there are several other prawn operations in the state, Gibson said "we think ours is an improvement" because it can draw on the experiences of the others. "Our objective is to industrialize this business and take it out of a relatively primitive state," he said. He said the Kekaha farm will use drain-pump and seine-harvesting techniques so that harvesters don't have to go into the water. "A lot of this is being done in different places. We're trying to put it together in an integrated system he said.

That is "if all things are perfect," said Richard Gibson, the company's general manager. "But they never are. One of our priorities is to bring consistency in production." Aquatech-Hawaii broke ground earlier this month for a pilot prawn farm operation at Kekaha and has been using C. Brewer hatchery at Hanapepe to raise its stock.

A state permit to Brewer's Ki-lauea Agronomics Inc. for the hatch-, ery site has been turned over to Aquatech-Hawaii, being operated as a division of Kekaha Sugar Co. Gibson formerly headed the state's aquaculture program at the Department of Planning and Economic Development. IN A RECENT interview in Kona, he said he was "given pretty much carte blanche to look at Amfac's holdings" for the prawn farm and he feels Kekaha "is the best site to grow prawns in the state." Brewer pulled out of its Kauai prawn program to concentrate on guavas because, it said, the weather was too cool to achieve good prawn growth in the Kilauea area. Amfac's prawn project is the first in a leeward area and Gibson said the dry, warm climate should increase production by 15 percent.
