Student reports nose-picking at Paradise Palms EMI A IKO Associate News Editor An international sandwich bar worker was caught filming himself stuffing lettuce up his nose and putting it

back in its serving tray. The video was posted on YouTube about two years ago. Another video features two pizza delivery workers blowing their noses onto a pizza. What if you were to witness a similar incident right here on campus? Nicole Nonaka, a University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa student majoring in social work, said she usually brings a packed lunch to school, but decided to buy a gyro sandwich at Paradise Palms on Nov. 16. According to Nonaka, while she waited in line at the sandwich bar, a worker stuck his right pinky finger in and out of his nose for several seconds and went back to serving customers without washing his hands with soap and water. Nonaka said this worker resumed preparing customers’ food with a plastic glove on his left hand, while using tongs with his bare right hand. When she reached the counter, the owner of the store, Tony Boyadjian, took an order and prepared a sandwich. But Boyadjian stopped midway and handed the sandwich to the man who allegedly had stuck his finger in his nose. Nonaka asked him to use a glove over his right hand, but he said, “No, I’m already using gloves.” As she explained what she

witnessed, Boyadjian prepared Nonaka’s sandwich instead and apologized. But according to Nonaka, the worker said, “I wasn’t picking my nose, I was rubbing my mouth. You’re fantasizing. You’re a bitch.” Nonaka filed a formal complaint with Paradise Palms supervisors Ronald A. Palpallatoc and Tammy Madrona, but hasn’t received a reply since the day of the incident.
OW N E R ʼS P E R S P E C T I V E In an interview with Ka Leo, Boyadjian recalled the incident and said, “She is totally fantasizing and she’s a liar.” Boyadjian said he has been in business for 15 years with three other locations in Hawai‘i, but never had a single complaint until now. Without an appointment but upon request, Boyadjian showed his store’s kitchen area and also the worker’s hands. “As you can see, the worker’s hands are clean,” he said. “I trust him. He did say ‘bitch,’ but that was nothing personal. He didn’t tell her in her face. He just said it to himself, looking down.” Boyadjian said the worker has been with him for seven years and has never had a problem. Boyadjian said all the workers serving sandwiches either wear gloves on both hands or use tongs to avoid direct contact with the food. “Why did she get a sandwich and pay at the end if our service was unsatisfactory?” said Boyadjian. “We have loyal customers who come back to get our sandwiches every week.”

D E PA R TM E N T O F H E A LT H RESPONSE Nonaka fi led a complaint letter with the Hawai‘i Department of Health and the Better Business Bureau on Nov. 23. Department of Health Inspector and Hawai‘i Environmental Health Association President Amber Vuong inspected the sandwich store on Nov. 29. Vuong said she found no violation when she observed the store for over 30 minutes during busy lunchtime hours without prior warning to the owner. According to Vuong, it is not a violation to serve food without gloves, and the Department of Health Administrative rules simply require washing hands with soap and drying them with paper towels before serving food (title 11, chapter 12). “We always take it [the claim] for truth, but we usually don’t see what the observer sees,” said Vuong, who has been inspector since 2006 and was in charge of the UH Mānoa campus for two years. “I haven’t seen any violation on campus, as far as I am aware of. I think Centerplate has been keeping an eye on them [all the vendors at Paradise Palms] too.” Nonaka, who is still waiting for a reply from Centerplate, stated, “I am hoping that they’ll write back. … I am concerned about food quality and safety, and they failed to comply with food handling and personal hygiene, which is extremely unprofessional.”

This year, I was one of two University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students picked for Smithsonian internship positions. Within a matter of months, I found myself whisked away to the nation’s capital. Since 1998, the College of Arts and Sciences has sent students to Washington, D.C. to fulfill internships in various Smithsonian programs while receiving full-time college credit. Typically, three students are selected every year; the internships cover roundtrip airfare and room and board, as well as offering a monthly stipend. Normally, my fi nancial circumstances would be an obstacle if I wanted to travel outside of Hawai‘i. But as soon as I discovered the applications on the Office of Community and Alumni Relations website, I thought to myself, “I should give this a shot.” The waiting game began as soon as I submitted all of my application materials. Weeks after the deadline, I got an email requesting an interview. I went in my best work dress: one that told them I meant serious business. After what seemed like an eternity (but really was only about three days), I got a “Congratulations!” email in my inbox. My jaw dropped as I thought to myself, “I’ve got to Skype my mom!” Fast forward a few months. A fter a long series of f lights, Jasmine See Selection and arrival, next page

Joseph Henry, the Smithsonian’s first secretary and honored (though little-known) scientist, is memorialized in this statue in front of the Smithsonian Castle. Fernandez, the other intern (the third did not come for whatever reason), and I were picked up by the UH Alumni Association National Capital Region Chapter President Byron Shorter, Vice President Ernie Takafuji and his wife, Carol Takafuji, at the airport. They were easy to spot, sporting Warrior apparel and welcoming smiles. After meeting at the airport, the trio drove us to our rooms at Washington Trinity University. The D.C. chapter of the UHA A welcomed us from the very beginning and made us feel right at home. The members made sure we were stocked up on grocery necessities by driving us to CVS the very fi rst day we arrived. They supplied us with cup noodles, and because Jasmine and I are both from Hawai‘i, we also got rice cookers and a supply of rice, Spam and nori. Prior to this, I had never visited the East Coast. But the UHA A felt like a support system, a family on the East Coast that I could feel free to call if I needed anything. Periodic fundraisers are held
by the D.C. chapter to replenish the scholarship fund for the students who come out to D.C. every fall. I even had the opportunity to volunteer at a golf tournament and cookout in Virginia in September, an example of a fundraising activity for future students. As the date of my flight home draws closer, I often reflect upon what a unique experience this trip has been. I’ve met so many wonderful people. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

The University of Hawai‘i women’s volleyball team protected its home court by defeating Northern Colorado and Colorado State in the first and second round of the NCA A Women’s Volleyball Tournament. “We had tremendous pressure on us to finish the second round, since we [didn’t] last year,” senior outside hitter Kanani Danielson said. “People stepped up when it was needed, and things worked out.” The ’Bows (31-1) were led
by Danielson, who racked up 16 kills against Northern Colorado and 22 kills against Colorado State. The Rams came into the tournament as the No. 2 blocking team in the nation, but Hawai‘i was able to hang tough and match Colorado State’s blocking total with 10. “They were a huge block, so I had to do my job in spreading out the offense,” sophomore setter Mita Uiato said. “Once I started getting in my little rhythm and spreading out the offense, they had a really hard time closing the block and stopping our hitters.” Next up for the Rainbow Wahine is USC this Friday at 7 p.m. in
