Wrestling has had a storied past in the Islands — and this year's Hawai'i All-Collectors Show, set for July 23-24 at the Blaisdell Center Exhibition Hall, will have a display on the golden age of pro wrestling in Hawai'i. Longtime fan Wayne Nishimoto of Hawai'i Nostalgia, the presenter of the show, will exhibit his photographs, lineups and Tosh Togo memorabilia as well as have prints and T-shirts from wrestling lineups of the 1960s and '70s. He is looking for more stories and material on the likes of the Masked Executioner, "Handsome" Johnny Barend, Shoulders Newman and Chief Billy White Wolf. To share tales or material from the era of 50th State Big Time Wrestling: 488-3987 or wayne@ukulele.com.


CUT COST OF SNACKS

Save money on snacks with these tips from the Dollar Stretcher Web site:

  • Make trail mix. Combine nuts, raisins and candy pieces. Other options: banana chips, mini marshmallows and pretzels.

  • Make jelled desserts; it's inexpensive and tastes great plain, with whipped topping, marshmallows or chopped fruit.

  • Juice boxes and pouches are handy but expensive. Buy a six-pack of juice in sturdy plastic bottles with lids. When the juice is gone, wash the bottles and refill them with cheaper (and healthier) juice.


    FINAL WORD

    "Between my girls, their friends, my wife, her friends, our nannies, their friends and the cook, every day there were 13 women in my house in the old days. And one guy: me. In 18 years I didn't win one argument."
