Local onshore sea breezes will blow during the day and offshore land breezes at night. Sunny conditions will prevail since the axis is also suppressing local cloud development, except in mauka areas.

Winners of the award, from left, are Lea Albert, Kahuku High; Jean Miyahira, Waipahu High; Donna Saikl, Hilo High; Yvonne Toma, Kipapa Elementary; Ralph Murakami, Lihikai School; and Ronald Bright, Castle High. ISLAND SKIES ISLAND FORECASTS Albert of Kahuku High; Ralph Murakami of Lihikai School, Maui; and Donta Saiki of Hilo High; and teachers Ronald Bright of Castle High; Jean Miyahira of Waipahu High and Yvonne Toma of Kipapa Elementary. The foundation presents Educator Awards in 13 states this year. Recipients also will participate in a three-day Educator Retreat in Los Angeles in March, when they receive their money.

They are free to spend the money as they wish. The six were nominated by their district superintendents, then screened by a selection committee. State Schools Superintendent Charles Toguchi said he learned of the awards program which takes its name from the family of "junk bond king" Michael Milken through Bill Honig, schools superintendent in California, where the prizes have been given since 1986. Milken will be sentenced this month on federal securities fraud charges after allegedly amassed millions of dollars in insider bond and securities deals. The financier, who had headed the Beverly Hills, junk bond department of Drexel Burnham Lambert, pleaded guilty in April to six felony counts.

Drexel, which also pleaded guilty to six counts, collapsed last February into bankruptcy proceedings. Federal prosecutors disclosed more than a year ago that Milken, 44, received direct compensation from Drexel of $1.1 billion from 1984 through 1987, making him the highest-paid employee in America. But individuals analyzing hundreds of private partnerships set up at Drexel to benefit Milken, his family and favored employees estimate that Milken personally also received at least $1 billion from those partnerships, according to the Los Angeles Times. A portion of that would represent Milken's initial investment. But accountants and investigators say that most of the Drexel employee partnerships were extremely profitable, with partners in many cases receiving hundreds or thousands of times their initial investments.

The Times also reported that the coffers of four foundations Milken and his family established grew as the insider-trading scandal mushroomed. Milken denied any wrongdoing and a spokesman said the growth of the foundations was unrelated to the scandal. Chester Horn, California deputy attorney general, said in a phone interview an investigation he conducted concluded that Sunrise: 6:40 am Set: 5:52 pm 00 am Set: 1:48 pm Moon phases: new, Nov 16; Nov 25; full, Dec 3rd, Dec 8 1st, ISLAND TIDES Nation Weather Sank Honolulu: Mostly sunny, afternoon clouds, mid-80s.

His students entertain audiences on the Mainland annual: ly. Miyahira, a teacher-coordinator in Waipahu High's business and computer technology, center, has developed courses in telecommunications, the travel industry and an entrepreneurship program, and provides leadership for students from non-English speaking families, Murakami has an extraordinary ability to generate enthusiasm and pride in co-workers, his staff says. He greets students daily, visits many new households in his area and began a "Success in Reading and Writing" program. His school PTSA group has 700 members. Saiki, Hilo High principal, meets with every student who has below a 2.0 grade average and writes encouraging notes and congratulatory letters for improvement.

She began the state's first middle school program at Waiakea Intermediate and is starting an on-campus teen-parent child care center. Kipapa teacher Toma inspires all who meet her, acquaintances say. For nine years, students in her gifted class have written, produced and performed musicals focusing on value lessons, and supervised an oral history project to honor the school's 50th year. Toma praised the. Milken program for its high standards and efforts to promote the quality of education and retain good teachers.

Her money will likely be used to further education either hers or that of her children, she said. none of the securities violations alleged by the federal government involved any transactions with the foundations. The foundation was established in 1982 to support excellence in education and health. Milken helped set it up but is not on its board of directors, foundation executive director Julius Lesner said. Milken's brother, Lowell Milken, is president of the foundation board, and his mother, wife and Lowell's wife are board members.

So is Peter Ueberroth, former major league baseball commissioner and one of Hawaiian Airlines' controlling owners. -y Toguchi said he is not worried about the legitimacy of the funds. He and others on the state Education Department staff have met with Lowell Milken and said they received assurances the foundation is a separate entity. In honoring the prize winners, Toguchi said they "have and continue to touch the lives of their students. They have made a difference in their communities and in our state." Here's a snapshot look at the six winners: i As Kahuku principal, Albert has initiated after-school tutorials to assist athletes, a seven-period class schedule to provide more course options, and programs to promote self-esteem and character.

She plans to spend her prize money on her daughter's education, and to meet some of the many needs she says her school has. Bright is a drama teacher at Castle whom co-workers say has touched the lives of thousands of students, building ABOUT YESTERDAY Time High Low High Low 1:04 1:01 1:48 Oahu: Haielwa Hanauma Kaneohe Waianaa Waimanalo 0 18 0:15 1:17 .1:12 At Honolulu Airport Temperatures High: 86 Low: 70 Nov.
