AT A PARTY: 80%

From their home (without their parents' knowledge): 67%

FROM RELATIVES OR A SIBLING OLDER THAN 21: 65%

FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S PARENT(S): 40%

USING A FAKE ID: 36%

From their parents (with their parents' knowledge): 32%

HAPPENING

CATHAY CHILDREN SHARE STAGE WITH ISLE DANCERS

Dance is a form of movement that can sometimes move you around the planet. Tonight, at least, it's brought some of the young members of Cathay Future, a children's art troupe from China, to Centerstage Ala Moana. At 6 p.m., they'll meet up with the School of Honolulu Dance Theatre for a joint performance, capping off a cultural exchange between the two companies. In addition to Chinese and Western styles of dance, Cathay Future includes chorus and orchestra. Perhaps tonight they'll add hula to the mix.

final word

"The marriage lasted 8 1/2 years and I was faithful to it the entire time. I came out of it emotionally beat up and bruised, to find that a whole generation had grown up and was waiting for me to come out and play."
