The action lauds her half-century of tireless service and dedication to youth sports leagues in Kaneohe and her steadfast support of family recreational activities.<\/p>\n<p>A lifelong Heeia resident, Hewett has nine children, 18 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren \u2014 all involved in sports in some way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of my boys played T-ball at the Heeia ball field when he was 6 or 7,\u201d Hewett recalled. \u201cNow he\u2019s 48!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s also retired from the city parks department, where for years she kept the grounds of Ahuimanu, Kahaluu and Kualoa parks clean while sharing her wisdom and advice with the people she\u2019d meet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer influence and inspiration have touched the lives of more than 500 keiki each year,\u201d stated City Councilman Ikaika Anderson at the presentation ceremony, \u201cnot only teaching them the values of teamwork, but also providing them with guidance, reassurance and many valuable learning resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Active in sports herself, Hewett graduated from Ben Parker High School and went on to volunteer with Kaneohe Little League, Kaneohe and Kahaluu Pop Warner Football, Kaneohe Bobby Sox, Kaneohe Canoe Club and Police Activities League.
