Here’s our first annual where are we in Mililani, thanks to braddah ed!! Here’s a simple one to get everyone started and to make you hungry. Let’s hear from you!!

To make blogging a little more interesting, i thought maybe we should get everyone involved with this one. Let’s hear from you!

You know you live in Mililani if____________.

So we may all have heard what happened to Senator Ron Menor back in April 2008, when he was arrested for alleged drunk driving after midnight while driving with his sons on the H1 freeway. Although, he blamed poor eyesight for going slow on the freeway it led to the officer stopping him. Despite these allegations, do you think he deserves another term? Feel free to voice your opinion, would love to hear from you! would you give him a second chance, think about what he has done for our community! Or is it time for “change,” do you think we have two democrats who are able to replace his position?

My five year old son and I went to Jamba Juice at the Town Center and i was surprised by what i saw on the bullentin board. After reviewing the flyer, i was determined to get the word out and help this family. For all of you reading this right now, please show your support this family needs your help!

About Ramsey

Ramsey is a bright, fun loving, beautiful five year old boy who likes transformers, video games, and going to the beach like most little boys his age. He’s a very charismatic little soul, the type of kid that everyone has to say hi to. On March 3, 2008 we were at a beach house with the family and Ramsey was unintentionally struck in the head with a golf club while playing with the other children. It was a very traumatic and trying time for the entire family. His skull on the left side had multiple fractures, but thankfully no serious injury to his brain had occurred. Had the golf club gone down just a centimeter more, Ramsey could have lost his eye or it could’ve been worse. Ramsey did however lose the ability to control the upper left region of his face, and his vision in that eye is now slightly impaired.

He has had two surgeries since the accident and a titanium implant in his brow. Further reconstructive and/or plastic surgery is intended, depending on his progress.

We estimate the previous expenses and the further costs combined may exceed $5000.00 and this fundraiser will hopefully raise enough to limit the burden of that expense.

We pray that one day he will be healed completely and he will be able to gain full control of that side of his face again. We all would love to see Ramsey’s silly impersonation of “The Rock” eyebrow again!

If you would like to make any physical or mail donations you can contact Rikki at (808) 853-9229 or email her at ramseykv1@hotmail.com. Mahalo for your kokua and interest in Ramsey’s life!

In the May 2008 edition of the Honolulu Magazine, 258 public schools around the state were graded and Mililani’s Mauka elementary ranked #2 in the state. I was pleasantly surprised by the results. Here’s how they did:

Mililani Ike Elementary #8

Mililani Uka Elementary #67

Mililani Waena Elementary #131

Mililani Middle School #69

Mililani High School # 75

With that being said, do you feel comfortable having your child attend one of Mililani’s public school or would you prefer to have them attend private school? Is it really worth the cost?
