One of these men will be UHM’s next chancellor KEVIN HARRISON / NEWS EDITOR

SONNY RAMASWAMY

JOHN WHITE

COURTESEY OF UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I

Sonny Ramaswamy, the Indian-born, director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture and insect physiology professor, wants to be the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s next Chancellor.

According to his UH bio, Ramaswamy was appointed by President Obama to be the NIFA head in 2012. Prior to his appointment, Ramaswamy held academic and administrative positions at Oregon State University, Mississippi State University, Purdue University and Kansas State University.

“In looking at [UH Mānoa’s] profile I thought, ‘oh wow this is really an amazing place to be’ and I’ve got certain skills,” Ramaswamy said in an open forum with students and faculty. “I’ve got the academic background at multiple institutions, I know how to raise money and I know how to set the goal of achieving preeminence and I’ve had the federal experience.”

VISION FOR UH

In the forum, Ramaswamy highlighted some of the research that is being done at UH Mānoa such as research relating to how methane is produced in the ocean and how it affects climate change and the work that is being done on homelessness.

Ramaswamy claimed that the research at UH Mānoa is among the best in the nation.

Despite that, he said he would only give the university a “B+.”

“There’s pockets [sic] of excellence in multiple units within the university; it is a great opportunity for the others to step up their game as well,” Ramaswamy said.

Aside from the research at UH Mānoa, Ramaswamy said that the reason for existing is the students and that without them, they should not “be here.”

He said that when he looked at UH Mānoa’s undergraduate graduation rates, there was something “bad and wrong” with what he saw.

Ramaswamy pointed out that in 2010, Clemson University and the UH Mānoa had similar undergraduate graduation rates, yet Clemson now outperforms Mānoa.

Clemson’s four-year graduation rate is 58 percent, according to U.S. News and World Report and UH Mānoa’s four-year graduation rate is 29 percent, according to a UH institutional research report.

COURTESEY OF UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I

To Ramaswamy, boosting graduation rates and improving undergraduate education is as simple as ABC. ABCDEF

These are Ramaswamy’s six themes for improving undergraduate education and graduation rates at UH Mānoa.

A: Advising and attendance - For Ramaswamy, this point is about keeping track of students throughout the school year like checking in on them if they miss class.

B: Behavior - “Their parents invested that trust in us to make sure those young people are going to be protected,” Ramaswamy said.

C: Courses - Ramaswamy wants to ensure that courses are offered “properly” and in a timely manner. He also wants to look into developing a program in which if there is a class not available at one institution, a student can take it at another. UH students can already take courses from any other UH institution.

D: Data - He wants to keep “good” data on students.

E: Experiential Education - Ramaswamy believes that college students have a foundational, liberal arts knowledge and that built off of that should be experience-based education for everybody in all majors.

F: Financing - “You want to hire a Chancellor that’s going to work really hard to get the resources needed whether it’s from the donors, or from the research enterprise, or from the state legislature,” Ramaswamy said.

In regards to financing, Ramaswamy said that President-elect Donald Trump wants to invest in infrastructure and Ramaswamy wants some of that investment to be allotted to universities for deferred maintenance. He hopes that this federal money will encourage other funding sources to match it.

Ramaswamy also addressed the Counseling and Student Development Center on Campus and how it needs to have more funding and there needs to be greater communication on campus regarding what English professor Susan Schultz described as “tragedies on campus.”

Ramaswamy addresed athletics and said that it is synergistic to academics and that there may be a way to get athletics off of tuition money eventually.

Meet John White: the acting chancellor for the Nevada System of Higher Education, human and civil rights lawyer and law professor who wants to be the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa’s next chancellor.

White is a graduate of Yale Law School, the former dean of the University of Nevada at Las Vegas’ William S. Boyd School of Law and a former law professor at Louisiana State University.

In an open forum filled with students and faculty, White spoke about his vision for UH Mānoa, his ideas on higher education and answered questions from the audience.

“Why [UH Mānoa]? ... it has the attractive combination of really excellent research productivity, strong faculty doing great things really on the true cutting edge of science and discovery,” White said.

VISION FOR UH MĀNOA

When asked what are two issues that he wanted to address, White named student enrollment and building up research.

“One of the things that’s a little bit troublesome looking from the outside in is the degree to which students not just here but in many instances will choose a less impressive institution, thinking it’s the same as the school they’re passing up for some disconnected reason,” White said.

While he wants more students to enroll at UH Mānoa, he also wants to provide them with a worthwhile experience so they do not regret enrolling.

In regards to bulking up UH Mānoa’s research profile, White said that that does not necessarily mean more funded research or adding more Ph.D. students, though it would be “nice.”

He was also asked about his plan for addressing deferred maintenance costs on campus and while he acknowledged it as a pressing issue, he said he does not have a plan for addressing it.

White said that the path forward for UH Mānoa is built on things like its “strong faculty,” “well-regarded programs” and a “great student-faculty ratio.”

“What I see in the end is a school that is really quite exceptional, poised for great suc-

cess and one that I would be quite honored to be able to join in leading and one, that I think, will be able to establish itself as one of the truly great public universities in the country,” White said.

Susan Schultz, a professor of English, asked White for his thoughts on what she called a “big rise” in depression and anxiety among college students.

White addressed this, saying that institutional leadership have an “obligation” to recognize the challenges that college students face and to help them.

Another question raised related to White’s experience with fundraising and working with state legislatures to get funds. White said that while he was the Boyd Law dean, he was successful in procuring donations from local lawyers and was able to work with the Nevada State Legislature to avoid budget losses.

White explained that part of the solution to working with the state legislature is convincing them of how small their investment in higher education and also highlighting how complex higher education institutions are.

“I think there are some opportunities exactly right now to be able to convince legislators about the importance of higher education, the true cost of it, and in the meantime, we have to do our best to efficient,” White said.

When asked about his stance on money being diverted to athletics, White stood in support of college athletics, saying that campus “atmospheres” would “collapse” without them.

“I find tremendous fulfillment in the atmosphere of athletics and the challenge for the individuals who get to participate in it and the inspiration they show for others,” White said.

An audience member asked White about his opinion on online education and he sees it as a delivery tool that can also increase enrollment and deliver courses or degrees.

Thanks for cruising with us.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION Dear J, I caught my boyfriend wearing my underwear. Maybe it was just a joke, but should I be concerned?

-Worried girlfriend

Worried Girlfriend, JARIN MORIGUCHI / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

UHM student, Lee How, died as a result of a moped collision on October 26th because of head injuries.

This memorial still stands at the crosswalk in his honor.

Mourning on a street sign Further precautions needed to prevent pedestrian accidents on campus BRENNA WILCKEN INTERN

For nearly a month, there have been flowers, food offerings and cards taped to a crosswalk sign across from Sakamaki Hall on Dole Street as a memorial to Lee How. The twenty-two year old student died after he was thrown from his moped after colliding with another moped that had stopped for a pedestrian on Oct. 25, 2016. Two weeks later, another student was hit by a car in the same junction.

Despite these accidents, the crosswalk continues to have consistent foot traffic. In light of these two accidents and the continuous use of this crossing, the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa should take action to prevent tragedies at this particular intersection.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS NEEDED

This crosswalk is used by students going back to their dorms after class, along with the campus center crossing and East West Road, both of which are far apart from each other.

For some students, it is more efficient and convenient to use the dangerous Dole Street crosswalk than to walk all the way to another intersection.

Students use the crosswalk across from Sakamaki Hall despite the injuries that have happened there, but because there is no stopping point for automobiles, students still run the risk of being hit by careless drivers.

This is not the first instance of a college student death caused by inadequate crossing and stopping points; a college student in New Jersey was hit by an oncoming car while in a crosswalk. However, the state of New Jersey took action and revised the state traffic laws to prevent future pedestrian accidents all over the state. Since these law revisions were implemented in 2014, pedestrian accidents have decreased by 22 percent.

If UH took action against pedestrian accidents on its campus and created a stopping point at that sight, there would be a lesser risk of pedestrian accidents without hindrance to traffic movement on Dole Street.

The heaviest traffic on Dole Street occurs between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., a window of time when there isn’t heavy foot traffic on the road; and during times of heavy foot traffic later in the morning, cars still have to stop at that crosswalk to avoid hitting students.

If a stop light or stop sign was installed at that crosswalk, there would not be significant change to traffic flow. A stopping point would also significantly lower risk of road tragedies happening on one of the campus’s busiest roads. If the University takes action and calls for the state to install a stopping point at this crosswalk, this could stand as a clear action to students mourning at that crosswalk sign. It would show that the school acknowledges and honors the

student who died at that sight and the students who still use it.

Until then, to those who use this crosswalk and those that pass over it in vehicles: please be careful on the road, be cognisant of your surroundings and other pedestrians. If you have to cross at any crosswalk without a stopping point for vehicles, try to cross in groups and look before walking into the street.

The University of Hawai‘i provides its students with the best experiences possible, from networking opportunities, classes, events and room for student voices to be heard.

In conjunction with UH Mānoa, the Department of Public Safety makes strides to protect and provide helpful safety tips and updates for students. However, the institution of these extraneous perks and notifications should not come before the basic safety and comfort of the people that live and work on campus.

No student, guest, faculty member, should have to use a street sign as a makeshift gravestone.

Blasphemy. This is very upsetting news. May Jesus guide you out of this relationship. Your vagina is a sacred gift of fertility given to the one man you call your husband, who will be with you until the merciful hand of Christ pulls you up to heaven.

I am assuming that you and your boyfriend are not married, in which case, he should be no where near your underwear or your fanny. This man has obviously been corrupted by the seductive lure of Satan himself. Not to worry though, as long as your sins are confessed with the deepest of regret, the heavenly father will forgive you. Please be sure to pass this message along to your sinful boyfriend and his filthy pecker, before he and it are inevitably smote.

Lord have mercy on his wicked soul,

JEAN Dear worried girl, I am going to be honest with you. That is kind of weird. You probably do not have to be concerned though. I would just ask him about it. Was it laundry day or something? Do you two share things regularly? Maybe he just could not find clean underwear. Like, I mean, I would just go commando because underwear can be so restrictive, right? But maybe he is not chill enough to let it all hang loose. Yo, I think I have too many questions to give you any advice. Just like, do not worry. Worrying is so useless. Something about open communication and gender. I do not know, what kind of underwear was it? If he is wearing yours, maybe you should wear his. It could strengthen your connection.

Dope,

JAMIE Hey, Do not be concerned, be excited. Things are about to get kinky. Sex can get stale after a while and the nightly rounds of missionary into the occasional doggy style gets old fast.

But now, you have this all-access pass into the realm of kinky sex, the ghetto neighborhood of pound town. Your boyfriend may very well have a crossdressing fetish, which is something you should double down on. Start switching roles, get aggressive, purchase a strap-on, you are the daddy now. You get to do what I have to pay Taiwanese women a lot of money to do, so embrace it and get weird.

Why buy local?

CHRISTINA YAN / SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR

Buying local can mean more than just supporting your local farmers market. It can bring in money for the entire town, even non-profit organizations. According to a study conducted by the Small Business Administration, small businesses donate more than twice as much per sales dollar to local non-profits and teams compared to big businesses.

01

The Basics

02

When you buy local, more money stays in the community. Buying from a locally-owned business typically means you are supporting other local businesses. An example of this is a farm-to-table restaurant. The food is usually produced on-island, the delivery system is on-island and the companies themselves are local. These companies create jobs at other local firms when they print flyers, hire accountants or seek legal advice – places you would not think are associated with a farm-to-table restaurant.

Health Benefits

02

03

Innovation

If a consumer is turning to an online store or conglomerate like Amazon or Wal-Mart for a specific product like swimwear, they can look elsewhere. Someone in their community may be making and selling local swimwear. Instead of everyone buying the same patterned bikinis from a mainland company, a local producer adds their own creative elements and spins that are targeted to a specific demographic. This means more unique products are available for local customers.

Regarding local food, it is usually fresher and tastes better. When you buy produce from a conventional grocery store, the products may have been kept there for days, not including shipping time. A local producer is able to let produce ripen longer because it does not have to travel as far. When you eat seasonal local food, what you are eating is the most abundant produce at its peak and usually the least expensive. Even better, eating local reduces our carbon footprint.

Ways to support buying local 01

03

KEVIN HARRISON / NEWS EDITOR

Small, local businesses are the heart of a local economy. They are not run by big corporations trying to please stockholders; they are run by mothers and fathers who need to put food on their dinner table or pay for their kids’ school supplies.

05

SKIP THE MALL

SKIP THE FOOD CHAINS

MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS

BRING A FRIEND

STOP THE YELP BASHING

Whether you need to buy a gift for someone or you want to spoil yourself, consider driving to a local thrift store like Siam Imports, the shops in Ward Warehouse or the swap meet at Aloha Stadium. Before you make the trip down to Ala Moana or the new Ka Makana Ali‘i, take the extra time to find a local store that might have the gift you are looking for.

If you get hungry while you are out buying gifts, instead of hitting up a McDonald’s or an Outback Steakhouse, try to find a local sandwich or salad shop. A local eatery may be more expensive than a chain, but if you just choose a local chain a couple times a month, then it will not be so bad. Local food trucks can also be a good alternative to mainland chains.

One of the most important things you can do for a local business is to tell other people about them. If you happen to visit a locally owned shop with great gifts or food, tell your friends and family; the shop could use the free advertising. You can also share links to local stores on Facebook or Twitter.

When you go to local businesses, bring your friends or family with you. With more visitors come greater revenue and exposure for the business. By bringing just one or two friends with you and sharing them on social media, the business’ name can spread faster.

If you had a bad experience at a local business, tell the staff or the owner, do not put them on blast on Google or Yelp. The business may be going through personnel issues, they might be finding their way or you may have visited them on an off day.

Either way, it might be better for the business if you just tell the owner or staff directly instead of raking them through the mud online.

Small, local businesses need all the help they can get; they do not have the marketing resources or the infrastructure to compete with the big chains. These five, small things can give local businesses the leg up they need to make ends meet.

WEDNESDAY: 3:30 - 7:30PM

The Mililani Farmers Market is great for those who get overwhelmed by the larger-scale markets. More of a community gathering, this event features roughly 20 vendors weekly. If you are in the market to buy local greens and vegetables, come early.

Some vendors offer to hold your purchases at their booth and have you pick them up on your way out, giving you the luxury of walking around without having to carry heavy bags.

The food vendors who have set up shop at this market offer quality eats, from freshly-crafted pizza to locally-grown coffee. Even if you get there early, parking is difficult to find.

Though they constantly add new vendors, the Pearlridge Farmers Market has proven to be consistent in its high quality of merchandise. Along with an assortment of locally-grown produce, this market offers a selection of cheeses and meats.

You can even bring your dog. Some vendors sell organic dog food and treats. If you do plan on coming to see what this market has to offer, plan on going early. Many of its food vendors have built up a following of locals, so be prepared for long lines and large crowds.

Located in the brand new shopping center on O‘ahu’s west side, the Farmlovers Market may be small, but it has a lot to offer. Farmlovers showcase their selection of organic, locally-grown produce and plants as well as handcrafted merchandise.

What is most exciting about this market is its selection of food. Vendors at this farmers market range from organic lemonade to a vendor that specializes in organic, vegan baked goods. Each vendor takes pride in providing high-quality products.

One of the largest on O‘ahu, the KCC Farmers Market has garnered the attention of both locals and tourists. This farmers market boasts a wide variety of locally-produced fruits and vegetables from Kahuku and Aloun Farms. “Hawai‘ i’s Best Ever Brittle” serves up gourmet sweets and snacks from Kahuku and poke made from freshly caught seafood that can be found at “Hibachi.” Even vegan options are available – just look for “Licious Dishes.”

The market can get busy on the weekend, so anyone who’s looking for a less-crowded shopping experience should attend the Tuesday event, which is smaller but still worth the trip.

Local Recipes

CHOCOLATE HAUPIA PIE

INGREDIENTS KEVIN HARRISON | NEWS EDITOR

Local foods can be expensive. If you want to change things up for your weekday dinners, here are a couple of recipes you can make with some local ingredients. If you have trouble finding them, Foodland and Whole Foods usually sell local ingredients. If you want fresh local ingredients, drive through Waimanalo or similar places and look for people selling things on the side of the road.

KALUA PORK & PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE If the second half of the title scares you, it is understandable. This recipe is easy enough to accomplish because it is fried rice, which does not take long to make and is hard to mess up. That being said, this is a sweet and savory meal you can whip up in under an hour if you want a quick and easy meal for you or your family.

• • • • • • • • • • •

3 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp sesame oil 1-2 tsp Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce 2 tbsp olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 onion, diced 1-2 cups of locally grown vegetables 3 cups cooked, at least one-day old rice 2 cups diced pineapple, canned or fresh 1-2 cups of Kalua pork DIRECTIONS

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil and sweet chili sauce then set aside.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

3. Add garlic and onion to the skillet, and cook, stirring often, until onions have become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Add selected vegetables then cook and stir constantly until tender or for 3-4 minutes.

5. Stir in rice, pineapple, kalua pork and soy sauce mixture.

6. Cook and stir constantly until heated through or 2 minutes. Serve.

If you have lived in the islands for any length of time and have not tried chocolate haupia pie, there is no excuse now because here is a recipe for it from Hawai‘i Magazine.

Coconuts are an abundance in Hawai‘i and there are a lot of local chocolate shops, so making this dessert with local ingredients is no challenge. If you need something sweet to pick you or someone you know up from a bad day or week, it is hard to go wrong with chocolate in any form. In case the Kalua Pork and Pineapple Fried Rice was not sweet enough, this will get you your sugar fix.

INGREDIENTS

1 9-inch unbaked pie crust 1 cup milk 1 can coconut milk (14 oz.)

1 tbsp coconut extract 1 cup sugar 1 cup water 1/2 cup cornstarch 7/8 cup chocolate (Dutch chocolate, or any chocolate with high cocoa butter content) • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream • 1/4 cup sugar • • • • • • • •

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2. Bake crust for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool.

3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, coconut milk, coconut extract and 1 cup of sugar.

4. In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water.

5. After bringing coconut milk mixture to a boil, reduce to simmer and slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Continue stirring over low heat until thickened – about 3 minutes. Divide evenly into two bowls.

6. In another bowl, microwave chocolate until melted.

7. Mix chocolate into one of the bowls of coconut pudding, then pour mixture into the pie crust, spread and let sit.

8. Pour the remaining bowl of coconut pudding on top of the chocolate-coconut pudding mixture and spread smooth, being careful not to mix the two layers. Refrigerate the pie for an hour or more.

9. Whip the heavy cream with 1/4 cup of sugar until stiff. Layer the whipped cream on the pie surface. Garnish with chocolate shavings.

Three locally-sourced Kahala Mall stores ALOHA SALADS

JULIA ANNE KIM / INTERN

Although Kahala Mall has a smaller selection of stores than Ala Moana, this family-oriented mall is home to a number of locally-sourced gems. From food establishments offering local farmers’ produce to Hawai‘i-exclusive fashion boutiques, Kahala Mall offers a specialized selection of stores that cater to islanders. Here are three locally-sourced Kahala Mall stores to check out during your next visit.

FIGHTING EEL

Aloha Salads’ mission is simple: “to serve healthy, fresh, locally grown food of the highest quality at affordable prices.” Since its small beginning in 2006, Aloha Salads has outgrown the confines of Kailua town and spread across the island, with stores from Kahala Mall to Pearlridge Center.

Serving salads, subs and wraps, Aloha Salads remains dedicated to buying from local farmers and fishermen, all while helping customers lead healthy lifestyles. According to its website, Aloha Salads boasts field greens straight from the North Shore of O‘ahu and fresh fish caught in Hawaiian waters.

If you are looking for a wholesome food store giving back to the environment, buy Aloha Salads.

In recent years, Fighting Eel has become one of the hottest boutiques to hit the islands, with stores in Downtown Honolulu, Kailua, Waikīkī and Kahala. Designers and masterminds behind the brand, Rona Bennett and Lan Chung, coupled their passion for design and fashion to undertake a business venture in the summer of 2003.

Unlike some other competitors, Fighting Eel makes all of its garments here in the heart of Honolulu. Although their merchandise is rather pricey, from initial design to needlework and conception, Fighting Eel embraces the label “made in Hawai‘i.”

Another food establishment supportive of local farmers and focused on serving up fresh and healthy meals is GRYLT. Located in Kailua Shopping Center, Kahala Mall and Ala Moana Shopping Center, this restaurant’s mission is to fill up customers’ stomachs with only the best grilled plates, platters, salads, sandwiches and soups.

Some examples of GRYLT’s locally-sourced ingredients include sustainably grown Mānoa lettuce from Kunia Country Farms, tomatoes from O‘ahu Sugarland Farms and locally caught ahi tuna from the Pacific Ocean. To support an environmentally-minded, locally grown business, check out GRYLT.

ALA MOANA LOCAL FINDS KIMBERLEE SPEAKMAN / MANAGING EDITOR

Ala Moana has become one of the more expensive malls, with the list of designer stores growing more and more with every new update or expansion. Throughout Ala Moana, there are hundreds of national brand names, as well as local stores scat-

RIX ISLAND WEAR

FOODLAND FARMS

BIG ISLAND CANDIES

Coming to the Ewa Wing in Ala Moana in late 2016, according to Ala Moana’s website, Rix Island Wear has aloha shirts for men and has even added aloha-wear for women and kids. Rix Island Wear was started by local entrepreneur and creator of Crazy Shirts, Rick Ralston, who wanted to create new options for aloha-wear.

According to the Rix Island Wear website, the aloha shirts are all sewn and made here in Hawai‘i. Because of this, the different patterns for the aloha-wear are stocked in limited quantity. If you are looking for a place to find locally-made aloha wear that is more expensive, Rix Island Wear is a viable option.

One of Hawai‘i’s more well-known, locally-owned supermarkets, Foodland has held a spot in Ala Moana for many years. Having recently moved to the Ewa Wing of Ala Moana, across from Shirokiya, and renamed “Foodland Farms,” Foodland has been reintegrating itself into the mall as the grocery store that sells local produce and products.

According to Foodland’s website, some of their best local produce include their exclusive “Hawaiian Crown Sweet Gold Pineapple” and “Hamakua Springs Tomatoes.”

To help support local farmers, Foodland has also created the “Eat Local Tuesday’s” event where they have a sale on local produce one day a week.

Best known for their shortbread cookies, Big Island Candies has a great assortment of treats ranging from cookies to chocolate and macadamia nut bars. From their main factory and store located in Hilo, Hawai‘i, all of their products are made in and distributed across the the state.

Each product contains some locally-cultivated ingredients that are baked into their treats.

According to their website, some of their most notable ingredients include Big Island macadamia nuts and Kona and Ka‘u coffee from local farms on the Big Island of Hawai‘i. They also have free samples when you enter the store if you are looking to try out a few snacks.

KAKA‘AKO’S

NIGHT MARKET

REESE KATO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Held every third Saturday of the month, the Night Market is held on Cooke Street. Vendors change month-to-month when the theme changes.

(ACCORDING TO THEIR WEBSITE)

KEVIN HARRISON / NEWS EDITOR

The Honolulu Night Market is Kaka‘ako’s monthly block party where local food and clothing vendors come and showcase their products. They have a fashion show, clothing sales and live entertainment by local bands. The Night Market is a great way to find lesser-known local businesses.

The prices at Night Market are reasonable according to the one dollar sign on Facebook. The thrift stores may sell clothing items for as little as $1, though the food vendors can sell plates of food upward of $20.

Some of the products may be expensive, but it is a good time to support those local vendors who may rely on Night Market to get their name and

products out there. This oncea-month event may be the best marketing they get all month and your best opportunity to find out who they are and what they sell.

If you have been wanting to find more local food and clothing vendors, Night Market offers a variety, and it is going to be hard to find so many local vendors in one place at one time.

This is also an opportunity to give local businesses a helping hand by trying out their products and telling your friends about it.

Night Market may not be as cheap or convenient as other Saturday night activities, but it is the place to be if you want to see what local products are being developed and sold.

THESE ARE THE NIGHT MARKET FOOD VENDORS: MEGA LOAD BURGER HAWAIIAN WAFFLE DOG SEA AND SOUL ULU’S LEMONADE DA BOLALOHAN AND GRILL ISTANBUL BAO TAO’N UNCLE’S KITCHEN LA ROUX BISCUIT AND BACON MUSUKAWAS KOI CATERING FUNHOUSE FUNNEL CAKES

SWAP MEET FUN Find thrifty local goods for a low price DANIELLE VALLEJO STAFF WRITER

MEREDITH P. / FLICKR 

The Aloha Stadium Swap Meet and Marketplace has over 400 local merchants.

Get ready to gather friends and head down to the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet and Marketplace, Hawai‘ i’s largest open flea market. There are over 400 local merchants offering the best prices on imported goods, handmade items, local snacks and specialty products only found in Hawai‘ i.

It costs a dollar for admission, a small price to pay for a place offering so many bargains. Make sure to have cash because most vendors take cash only, but there are ATM machines scattered around the swap meet just in case. Also, bring water and a hat or umbrella because it will get hot. In case you do forget to bring one, don’t worry, the swap meet has vendors that sell any handy thing you need at a bargain price.

There are a variety of food vendors that serve their products fresh, such as organic fruit bowls, fresh

coconut water from the shell, baked goods, plate lunches and more.

Lin’s Market is one vendor to visit for their locally made crack seed candy and snacks. They also sell locally grown fruit, like pineapple or mango that you can dress with li hing mui powder. It is a great way to enjoy local produce and stay refreshed.

Aloha Bakehouse is another vendor to check out for their calzones, sweet bread and rolls. There are six different calzone flavors, such as the Jalapeño Amigo which is stuffed with jalapeños, pepperoni, cheese and olives. You can eat it while you are shopping or you can wait until you get home.

There are also vendors that sell high quality products such as clothing, accessories, Hawaiian souvenirs, fine jewelry, vintage antiques and handcrafted products exclusively made and sold by artists.

Crafts Ways offers handcrafted flowers, arrangements and accessories made from high quality foam, clay and silk. They specialize in

making silk leis, custom flower head pieces, haku headbands and more.

With its fun vendors and delicious food, the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet and Marketplace is a quaint locale to visit with your friends or family.

KA LEO O HAWAI‘I THE VOICE OF HAWAI‘I

Spreading the Aloha

KATIE ALMEIDA | SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Hawai‘i offers many tastes and experiences that you can’t help, but want to share with those you love. While it may be impossible to pack up and ship the beautiful sights and sounds, here are some gift ideas to send a little bit of the Aloha State to people far away.

PHOTOS BY KATIE ALMEIDA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

KONA COFFEE

HONEY

LILIKOI OR MANGO BUTTER

WOOD BOWLS

PUKA SHELL JEWELRY

Kona coffee is hailed as some of the best in the world and we are fortunate enough to have the supply so close. The growing conditions in Kona combine to create a coffee lovers’ dream environment. Farms such as Greenwell Farms or Kona Mountain Coffee offer a variety of flavor combinations or blends as well as the original pure Kona coffee. The average price for a pound of beans that you can ship off is around $20 or $35 if you choose to go organic.

Honey is another item Hawai‘i has the ideal conditions for producing.

Local honey can be found in many retail chain stores such as Safeway, Whole Foods or Down to Earth as well as in almost any farmers market throughout the islands. The honey can come in different flavors adding in other local tastes. ‘Ōhi‘a lehua, lehua and cinnamon, Hawaiian chili pepper and macadamia nut blossom are a few of the combinations you can find from companies such as Big Island Bees with the average price for a 9 ounce jar roughly being $8.

It is hard to share the flavors of local produce here in the islands with those on the mainland, but sending these infused butters are a delicious substitute. Easily edible on toast, it is a great way to be transported to the islands first thing in the morning through breakfast. Found in grocery stores such as Safeway or Longs, local stores such as Liko Lehua or at farmers markets the price for a 10 ounce jar is around $17.

An original gift to send away is a product of the many local woods found within the Hawaiian Islands.

Each bowl design is unique in the same way every tree is unique.

The woods are polished and serve mostly decorative purposes. Koa is the most popular while macadamia, lychee and Hawaiian ash as well as many others are also available. Gift shops and furniture stores throughout the islands carry these bowls as well as art galleries such as Nohea Gallery or Simply Wood Studio. The price for the smaller bowls range from $50-$175 depending on the wood type.

This is a gift that can be worn so you always carry a part of Hawai‘i with you. Coming in several designs and with any number of shells making up the jewelry, you can find the right gift for anyone you know. Found in any gift shop near a beach or places such as the International Marketplace in Waikīkī or the swap meet at Aloha Stadium, the price ranges from $2-$30 depending on the amount of shells and whether you are getting a bracelet or a necklace.

Aloha care package

How to properly pack a gift box going to the mainland JARIN MORIGUCHI / ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

Do you want to give your friends and family on the mainland a little taste of home? Throw together a diverse and affordable aloha care package to show them just how much they are missing out on while you are here, kicking it in paradise.

DRIED COCONUT

Nothing says island treats quite like dried coconut from Kōkua Market.

This healthy snack is made from the meat of the coconut and is flavorful enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Head down to Kōkua Market, try a sample and pick up one bag for yourself and another for the care package.

Anyone who receives this snack is sure to find out what nature’s candy tastes like.

UH GEAR

SOURCE: REESE KATO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Most people love a nice college sweatshirt. Show the Rainbow Warriors and Wahine some love by heading down to the UH Mānoa Bookstore on campus to pick up everything from UH branded shirts to backpacks. You can also check out H-Zone down at Ward Center where they have UH hats, T-shirts and sweaters to show your mainland family that school spirit.

SPAM

SOURCE: REESE KATO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

SPAM musubis are the one snack that will satisfy any post-beach hunger. Send a few cans of SPAM in your care package along with directions on how to make a musubi. Canned SPAM lasts a long time, so when you go to visit your friends over the holidays, they will have no excuse for not making musubis when you see those cans stacked up in their pantry.

AN ISLAND PHOTO ALBUM

SOURCE: REESE KATO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Use this opportunity to personalize your box of island treasures. Buy a disposable film camera and take a day to go around the island. Photograph every place that you fell in love with when you first arrived in the islands.

If you are a long time local, photograph your favorite secret spots. Print your photos and collect them in a scrapbook or photo album. Write the name of the place and the date next to all of the photos. Your family and friends will appreciate the handcrafted gift.

Christian Shimabuku Associate Sports Editor

Going ‘Bowl’ing Rainbow Warriors likely to appear in 2016 Hawai‘i Bowl GABRIEL ESTEVEZ / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The Rainbow Warriors ended the regular season with a 46-40 win over UMass CHRISTIAN SHIMABUKU ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Are you ready to party like it’s 2010? That’s the last time the University of Hawai‘i football team went to a bowl game, back when Nick Rolovich was the team’s offensive coordinator on former head coach Greg McMackin’s staff.

Things have come full circle for Rolovich in his first year as UH head coach. After the Rainbow Warriors’ 46-40 senior night victory over Massachusetts, the ‘Bows are a virtual lock for a bowl berth despite finishing with a sub-.500 regular season record of 6-7.

“More gray hairs, they keep com-

ing, but that’s just what this team has been,” Rolovich said after the game.

“The ups and downs, they [UH football] stay together and they love each other … I think fate was on our side.”

Typically, the main requirement for bowl eligibility is at least a .500 winning percentage, meaning FBS teams have to win at least half of their games. There are 40 regular bowls, leaving 80 slots for bowl-eligible teams. However, only 77 teams have qualified for that criteria this season.

Hawai‘i’s six wins puts them above the rest of the nation’s 5-7 teams. The Rainbow Warriors are the only FBS team to have six wins in a 13-game regular season sched-

ule, all but sealing their place in the Hawai‘ i Bowl, that is set for Christmas Eve at Aloha Stadium.

Because they needed outside help to potentially earn a bowl bid, nothing is truly official until all 40 matchups are announced on Sunday, Dec. 4.

“When it’s ready, it’ll come,” Rolovich said. “I don’t know anything else other than we just won on senior night and these seniors should be very proud of what they did this year.”

Ironically enough, the Warriors also went 6-7 in 2011 but failed to reach a bowl game which eventually led to McMackin being forced out of the program. That move led

to the hiring of Norm Chow, who didn’t retain Rolovich and went 10-36 over four years.

“They’ve been through a lot and they didn’t have to buy in,” Rolovich said. “But they did and I think the state of Hawai‘i should be proud of this senior class just because of the commitment they made to each other and trying to revive the pride in the place.”

A bowl berth makes circumstances even sweeter for Rolovich. One of the terms agreed upon in his contract last November was the fact that a bowl appearance in year one or two would extend his four-year contract to a fifth year at a salary of $450,000, which is a raise from the $400,008 he makes

annually right now.

Additionally, he receives a $20,000 bonus for participating in a bowl game and an additional $40,000 if the Rainbow Warriors win.

A bowl game would also permit the ‘Bows to hold 15 more practices, which could help the team expand even more on the progress it made with a new coaching staff.

The journey towards a bowl game was one that Chow couldn’t accomplish for four years. For Rolovich, it seems to be just the beginning. The program he played and coached for, one that was seeking relevance for years, aims to move onward and upward for years to come.

‘Positive Pesto’ Coach Tom Pestolesi brings his own vibe to Rainbow Wahine volleyball KATIE ALMEIDA SENIOR STAFF WRITER

From player to coach, Tom Pestolesi brings his own flavor to the Wahine coaching staff.

Pestolesi has a long history with the University of Hawai‘i volleyball program. He played for the Warrior volleyball team under current head coach Dave Shoji from 1980-81. His wife, Diane Sebastian Pestolesi, also played under Shoji from 197881. Now, he is back as a volunteer coach for the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team.

“My strength here is to help the kids in the gym,” Pestolesi said.

“Coach Jeff [Hall] calls me ‘Positive Pesto’ and so I get to be positive and help in the gym. Dave’s been great about letting me coach and work on technical stuff, just trying to keep everybody in a good mood.”

However, returning to Hawai‘i wasn’t an easy decision. Pestolesi is also the current head coach for the

volleyball teams at Irvine Valley College, where he applied for a sabbatical a year in advance. His original plan was to go to several schools during the women’s volleyball season and be at each for a couple of weeks at a time.

When it came time to talk to head coach Dave Shoji, he said he’d need Pestolesi for the whole season. It wasn’t an easy decision for Pestolesi, but it is one he is glad he made.

Besides Pestolesi, Hawai‘ i has other strong connections to Irvine Valley.

“We have a lot of Irvine Valley people here,” Pestolesi said. “Kaleo [Baxter] won two state titles with me, and then coached a state title with me [and] Annie [Mitchem] won three state titles with me. They’re really special to me. Getting to spend some more time with them has been really cool.”

The experience has been better than Pestolesi could have expected.

“What’s been neat is the team

vibe has been unbelievable,” Pestolesi said. “I call myself a naïve optimist but it’s actually been great. When you get 19 kids together for four months usually you’re going to have some pretty bad issues, but this group has been amazing. That’s been the most enjoyable part.”

However, this sabbatical came with a downside as well, the biggest for Pestolesi has been being away from his wife.

“It was definitely difficult,” Pestolesi said. “We’ve been married 31 years and our marriage is awesome. It’s been tough but it was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me and she knew that so she allowed me to basically act like a kid again, which I do all the time anyway, but it’s just the tradition, the history, the atmosphere, and I’ve known a lot of these kids already.”

The most rewarding part of this experience has been the relationships Pestolesi has got to make and

grow with the Wahine team.

“It’s been an awesome opportunity. It’s been so much fun,” Pestolesi said. “There’s always a little but of uncertainty, you’re not sure how it’s going to work out, with the players and the coaches and everything, but it’s been incredible. I’ve developed a great relationship with Jeff, I’ve known Lyndsey [Berg], and Kaleo [Baxter] played for me.”

It’s back to a busy life at Irvine Valley College now for Coach Pestolesi, returning soon after the women’s volleyball season ends, but he always remembers what is most important to him when it comes to being a coach.

“I’ll always go back to the kids, the kids are always the most memorable part,” Pestolesi said. “When you coach, you’re going to win and you’re going to lose, you’ll have your ups and down, you’ll work on techniques and tactics, but it’s always about the relationships and getting to know 18 new girls better, getting

to know the coaching staff better, getting to know the people in the department better. Everybody’s just been awesome and that’s been the best, the absolutely best part.”
