HOME IS HERE

Wed., June 29, 7:30 pm
In this month's episode of Home is Here, we're hoofing it to the windward side of Oʻahu to explore the healing powers of horses. We visit with Nisshodo Candy Store, a small, family-run business open for more than a century. And, we talk story with Dr. Linda Furuto, a mathematics education professor at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and a pioneer in the field of ethnomathematics.

Final Thought… I've had the opportunity to try some pretty scary things during my journalism career. I've swam with tiger sharks, stingrays and manta rays and I've ridden in a four-man canoe with the late Rabbit Kekai in massive surf off Waikīkī. I've sat in the cockpit of a hydroplane boat and on a bucking bull in Waimānalo, and I've gone toe-to-toe (or is it belly-to-belly) with a real sumotori.
There were many other memorable and terrifying moments, but none more uncomfortably frightening than the day I went lava sledding with Pohaku Stone on the steep slopes of Hualālai Volcano on Hawaiʻi Island. Let's just say I was fortunate to walk away with a few nasty abrasions and some enormous bruises, but the good news – I walked away. Join the conversation on the next WHAT SCHOOL YOU WENT? and hear why I respectfully say Pohaku (which means stone) Stone - so yes, Stone Stone - is one of the most fearless guys I know.
