SACRED Hearts Academy once again is participating in TODTW Day, but most of the girls getting a gander at workplaces today are not going with their moms. Anna Hong and Janice Yun are taking in the ANZAC Ceremony at Punchbowl with Lt. Gov. Mazie Hirono. Ninth-grader Shannon Stollenmeier will be in hearings with City Councilwoman Rene Mansho. More hearings for eighth-graders Bonnie Kaae and Kim Delos Santos with Rep. Barbara Marumoto, and Lissa Sunada and Dana Katsutani with Rep. Mary Jane McMurdo. The most interesting time may be in store for Roxanne Omoto and Marissa Fujimori who'll be out riding with police officers ...
NOW I don't think either Wilson or Goodman would object if male secretaries were treated to lunch yesterday on Secretaries' Day. And I'm sure several were. But the best Secretaries' Day treat I heard of came from Shari Chang of the Castle Group, who pulled off a whopper of a surprise, flying all eight of the secretaries in the corporate office to the company's flagship property, Hanalei Bay Resorts & Suites on Kauai, for a celebrity lunch ...
SINCE women seem to be featured here today, it seems a good time to mention that comedienne turned actress Janeane Garofalo has been making the talk show circuit, day and night, plugging her new film, "The Truth about Cats and Dogs."

Then, as her segment was closing she said something to Katie Couric about that being what "Good Morning, America" expected of Couric. The latter handled the mix-up with as much aplomb as she could muster under the circumstances ...WHILE UH volleyball coach Mike Wilton is trying to play down press coverage of his team prior to their contest with UC Santa Barbara this weekend, but one news organization with access is the Israeli version of ESPN, which understandably has taken an interest in Yuval Katz, Naveh Milo and Sivan Leoni, the trio I like to call the "Three from Galilee." They'll be the subject of a feature on Israel TV ...
YOU may recall that when Tom Selleck let it out that he's a big fan of "Friends," the producers of the series actually talked him into playing the role of an "older man" lover of the Courteney Cox character. Maybe the sitcom experience rubbed off on Mrs. Selleck, actress Jillie Mack. You may not have recognized her or noticed in the credits, but she showed up on "Frasier" Tuesday night, playing Charlotte, the chocolate-loving British pal of Frasier Crane's housekeeper, Daphne. Now wouldn't "Magnum, P.I.'s" John Hillerman make a perfect foil for the prissy psychiatrist on the show? ...
