Spring 06 - Elite Security Hawaii
What’s New?
Aloha from Ricky
W I T H S W E E T I E PA C A R R O
It’s always good to have
a backup — especially when
it comes to your security
system.
Most fixed-alarm
systems depend on
phone lines to
communicate an
alarm signal to a
central station.
But phone lines
are not foolproof.
GE Interlogix
They can be broken or cut,
meaning an alarm signal may never reach its destination.
The Secure Communications System from GE Interlogix is
designed to provide your security system with a backup plan —
giving you peace of mind.
Using the Cellemetry® network, the Secure Communications
System transmits a full three-watt cellular signal — five times the
strength of a regular cell phone signal — for fast and secure
alarm-signal transmission to the central station.
The Secure Communications System offers unprecedented
protection in the event of a service failure due to a broken or
interrupted phone line.
It is an effective and sensible add-on to an existing phone line
security alarm and now available from Elite Security Systems.
Cost including installation is $595 plus tax and there is an
additional monthly charge of $25 each month for the cellular
service.
For more information, call Elite Security Systems at 732-5552.

TIPS
ON SAFETY AND SECURITY
Starting a Neighborhood Watch Program
It seems we all know someone whose home has
been burglarized, some of us may have even been
victims ourselves. It’s more important than ever for
us to band together to keep our neighborhoods
crime-free.
One way to prevent crime is to start a
Neighborhood Security Watch (NSW), a program
sponsored by the Honolulu Police Department.
Getting started is simple:
1. The first step is to contact HPD’s Informational
Resources Section at 529-3351, or log on at
www.honolulupd.org, to request an officer to come
to your community to present an informational
lecture on NSW.
2. You and your neighbors will decide which
program or programs work best for your area.
Participants will select a Coordinator and Block
Captain, to serve as the conduit between your
neighborhood and HPD.
The new year is in full gear and spring is here.
We’re excited about the first issue of Elite Connection
for 2006.
Our cover story this month is about a company that
has been serving Hawaii’s appliance needs since the
1930s. We’ll tell you about Servco’s newly-remodeled
Home and Appliance Showroom in Mapunapuna —
it’s truly a must-see for those in the market for
appliances.
We’re also introducing a new section — a special
treat for our Elite clients. “Side Street Inn’s Recipe
Corner” offers some taste-tempting recipes from this
favorite local eatery.
Finally, we think you’ll be interested in a new
product designed to make your current security
system even better. In “What’s New with Sweetie,”
find out about the Secure Communications System
from GE Interlogix, designed to give your security
system a backup plan.
So sit back and enjoy this issue of Elite Connection!
3. Members will then sign
up to be part of the NSW and
receive informational
materials.
4. Members will be trained
in home security techniques,
observation skills and crime reporting. Residents will
also learn about the types of crime affecting the
area.
5. Regular meetings will be held to help residents
work together on a common goal of preventing
crime in their neighborhood.
Neighborhood Watch programs are the
foundation of community crime prevention and have
been proven to be one of the most effective and
least costly answers to crime.
Lois Miyashiro is Elite Security’s “voice with a smile.”
She has been with the company for more than 10 years,
wearing many different hats — from receptionist to
being Elite’s first female apprentice installer.

VOLUME IIII
SPRING 2006
Stepping into the new
Servco Home and Appliance
Showroom is like walking
through the pages of a
glossy, sophisticated kitchen
design magazine.
Whether you’re in the market for the latest in kitchen
appliances and accessories or just imagining what your
dream kitchen might actually look like, Servco’s
sparkling, remodeled Mapunapuna showroom will fulfill
your needs.
“Our 7,000-square-foot showroom is the most diverse
of its kind in Hawaii,” says Craig Washofsky, Servco
group vice president who oversees the distribution
center. “Prior to the remodeling, we had about 3,000
square feet of
display area, but
our new
configuration
now shows off
our appliances
in 22 different
kitchen
vignettes
created by 13
Hawaii
designers.”
In existence
since 1996, the
showroom had
its grand reopening
boasting its new look on Jan.
31. And according to
Washofsky, it has been more
popular than ever.
The showroom
features some of the latest in
cutting-edge technology and then some. Through the
kitchen vignettes, consumers are able to see how an
appliance looks in an actual setting and in many cases,
see and hear how it works, too.
“They can experience for themselves how the quietest
dishwasher made in the U.S. sounds — or doesn’t
sound,” says Washofsky. The Bosch Integra Vision
dishwasher is one of the many items on display, but
there are many other cutting-edge products to get up
close and
personal with
— and some
are really
“hot” — both
figuratively
and literally.
“We have the
GE
Monogram’s
Pro Range
which has four
burners, a
grill, griddle
and two
ovens,” he
says. “We also
have an

Tom Moffatt
Showman of the Pacific
Island baby boomers fondly
remember him as one of the original “Poi
Boy” deejays on K-POI radio back in the
’60s and ’70s.
Hawaii’s Generation X knows him as
the promoter who brought The King of Pop
to Aloha Stadium for two sold-out shows.
Anyone who has paid any attention
to Hawaii’s music and entertainment industry
over the last five decades, knows that Tom
Tom Moffatt
Moffatt is a legend in Hawaii.
And now he’s sharing a half-century of musical
memories in a 234-page autobiography, released
earlier this year. “Showman of the Pacific: 50 Years of
Radio and Rock Stars” is filled with revealing
anecdotes and more than 400 classic photos for the
inside story of Hawaii show business and some
unforgettable recollections.
One moment is embedded in his memory, says
Moffatt. It was when he

“Tom Moffatt”
introduced
Elvis Presley at the Old
Stadium in The King’s first
Hawaii appearance back in 1957.
“It was the first time I had
seen a real rock ‘n’ roll star
perform,” recalls Moffatt. “Elvis
finished ‘Hound Dog,’ the
version as we know it on record,
then he did an encore of it —
the whole tempo came down
slowly and he did the whole
song that way and ended by
jumping off the stage to the
ground and falling to his knees. I
thought, ‘Wow — this is rock ‘n’
roll … this is entertainment …
this is it.”
In his illustrious career Moffatt
has worked with nearly every
major act in the music business, from Elvis to Elton John, to
Frank Sinatra to the Rolling Stones. And to say he has been
successful as a promoter is an understatement.
“To be successful in this business, or any business, the
number one thing is to know the business,” explains Moffatt.
“Henry J. Kaiser once said ‘find a need and fill it.’ The key is
knowing your marketplace. In the promotion business, you
can’t let your own tastes get in the way. You need to bring in
what you feel people want.”
Moffatt does that by talking to people and listening. On a
recent Neighbor Island trip, he did just that and learned that
it seems that folks would like to see Canadian crooner
Michael Buble.
And that wasn’t really a surprise since he knows the local
market.
“Hawaii style is softer. They like ballads, love songs — I can
bring Earth, Wind & Fire and have a sellout crowd.”
Hawaii also loves Elton John. And
Moffatt’s friendship with the British star
also has an interesting
story.
Moffatt recalls
traveling to Osaka,
Japan in the 1990’s to
see two “piano men”
in concert — Elton
John and Billy Joel.
“I had brought
leis for them
and presented
one to Billy
before the
concert and was
told that Elton
was going to
arrive at the last
minute. I asked
a girl who
worked for a
friend who was
a promoter in
Japan to please
give the lei to
Elton and that I
would come
back after the
show to see
him,” recalls
Moffatt. “After
the concert, I
went backstage
and learned

just left on a
bullet train to Tokyo
so I didn’t get to see him.”
A few months later, Moffatt received a call from Emme
Tomimbang, who is a friend of someone in Elton’s immediate
circle of friends.
“Emme called to tell me that “Elton was so happy you
remembered his birthday and brought him the lei!”
Not long after, Moffatt got a call from Elton’s agent which
eventually resulted in three performances at the Blaisdell
Arena.
It’s been, literally, a star-studded career for Tom Moffatt,
but the work is far from done.
“I’m now doing a column for MidWeek and I hope to
bring more great concerts to Hawaii —I hope to someday
bring Paul McCartney if he’s planning to go to Japan or the
West Coast and Madonna or Cher, and Tina Turner if she
ever comes out of retirement,” he says. “I really enjoy what
I’m doing and I’m always looking for a new act that will draw
lots of people — as long
as people keep coming
to the concerts, I’m not
letting up.”

energy instead of heat to cook food.”
Although these products are considered “highend,” the showroom also carries many very
reasonably priced appliances from GE Profile and
Bosch.
“The use of stainless steel in kitchen design
has been a growing trend,” explains Washofsky.
“Stainless steel used to be considered high-end,
but it’s making its way to upper-middle and the
midline level.” If stainless steel is your desire,
one of the vignettes is an all-stainless steel GE
kitchen.
Gourmet chefs and wannabes will be intrigued
by the latest trends in kitchen appliances, which include GE
products that cut cooking time by 75 percent, as well as
energy-efficient appliances.
Serious customers or just curious ones
shouldn’t hesitate to walk in and check it out
— but remember, you won’t be able to buy
anything.
“We’re a wholesale distributor, so we don’t
sell to the consumer,” explains
Washofsky. “Many folks come in with
their designer,
Craig architect, contractor,
Washofsky
or by themselves, to
make appliance
selections.”
Although Servco

town, the opportunity for new home construction is limited,
so many folks are rebuilding or remodeling their existing
homes. That’s where the demand for our services is — and
it’s stronger than ever,” he explains. “When you’re trying to
make a significant purchasing decision, such as appliances,
you need all the information you can get, just as you
wouldn’t choose your car from a picture in a catalog.”
Since the showroom is just that — a showroom — it’s not
easy to place a dollar figure on its success so far. But one
thing is for sure — foot traffic has been steady.
Washofsky recommends an appointment for those
seriously in the process of selecting products. He says that
process can take between one to one-and-a-half hours and
an appointment assures you’ll get the assistance you need
from one of their knowledgeable and friendly product
specialists.
But if you just want to indulge your senses, no
appointment is necessary.
