Poets slammin’

Students from six Oahu high schools will compete in a slam poetry event sponsored by Youth Speaks Hawaii starting at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 21 at Farrington High School.

The event will feature high school slam poets from Kaimuki, Kaiser, Kalani, Farrington and Waianae high schools.

Tickets are $5 pre-sale and $7 at the door. For more information or to order tickets, call 782-7868.

The event is a fundraiser for Youth Speaks Hawaii, a nonprofit group that teaches slam poetry to teenagers.

Youth Speaks Hawaii poets won the national championship event in 2008 and 2009.

Old tales saved

Gerontologist and documentary filmmaker Janette Sargent-Hamill will lead a pair of workshops that will help people learn how to document the stories of their aging loved ones.

The sessions are being presented by Kokua Mau, a private nonprofit organization specializing in end-of-life care for seniors.

The first session will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jan. 22 at Ing Direct Cafe, 1958 Kalakaua Ave. Another session will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 12 at Kailua United Methodist Church.

Cost is $35 for Kokua Mau members and $45 for the public. Call 585-9977 to register or download a form at www.kokuamau.org.
