Description: Instead of wooden lanes and pins, Wii Bowlers hit the virtual lanes using Nintendos' Wii game system. Wii bowling tends to start out easy, building confidence, while you get use to bowling with a hand held remote. However, the better you bowl, the harder it can become. You can put too much spin and throw a gutter ball. You can even release it behind your and watch the audience scatter. Those who have trouble picking up a bowling ball will have no trouble lifting the remote control, which is a small plastic rectangular stick weighing only a few ounces. Play is done on our three big screen TVs. They are brand new 55" HD TVs donated by our Wii Bowlers. If you want you can sign up to be a substitute to get your feet wet, or bring in a team. If you don't have other players we will try our best to put you onto an existing team. No matter which way you go, you'll still have lots of fun in our Wii Bowling League. Sessions are only six weeks long. Next league registration takes place at 1:30 pm on January 7th, with bowling starting on January 14th.
Luau a Success
By: Mike Sylva
Our Polynesian party proved to be popular as the Highland Senior Center proudly hosted its annual Luau and it was a sellout with all the seats filled. The mood was festive with the partiers decked out in their finest Hilo Hattie wear and mu mu’s. As people arrived they were greeted with leis and island music.

Duke Ching’s “Duke Kaleolani Polynesian Review featuring lovely girls from Hawaii” served up the entertainment with family members, he has done in the past, including his granddaughters and a cousin. Other entertainment included our very own HSC Hawaiian class dancers. The dancers made it look so easy some of the crowd volunteered to come up and give it a while.

Also served was our version of “authentic” luau food, minus the spam or poi. Hawaiian chicken, rice pilaf, fruit cocktail and a role, washed down with a mango-pineapple punch. The crowd remarked that it was great food and the best show they’ve ever seen!

We’d like to thank all those who bought tickets and came showing their support for the center and its activities. Mahalo and see you next year!
