Jaymes Song
Song -- the Star-Bulletin's police reporter -- is the first of 12 winners in the "Just Say Cheese" contest sponsored by Kraft Foods Hawaii and Fujifilm. His prize was a $400 Fuji digital camera.
"The hardest part was digging the hole -- because I'm not a small guy, right? -- so I had to dig the hole pretty deep," Song says.
Buying all the products cost about $25 (when you really need these things, none are on sale). Shopping and shooting together took about 2-1/2 hours.
"I wanted to do something with the beach, something Hawaii-themed, something eye-catching and funny," he says. "I thought, what if I had a little Kraft body and my big head? I don't think my real body can sell any products." The photo was taken at Kailua Beach Park by a friend, who also helped dig the hole.
Well, now that you know what Kraft is looking for, you can enter: Submit a picture of yourself, your family and/or your friends with at least one Kraft product by Sept. 25. Send entries to "Kraft Say Cheese," P.O. Box 4376, Honolulu 96812-4376. Call 524-5080.

The idea for Meadow Gold Dairies' latest frozen dessert flavor came up through the employee ranks. Honeydew Melon, just released in stores, is a light green, light-tasting dessert, and it was created based on an employee's suggestion. Frozen treats to
beat the heatThe honeydew frozen dessert -- not an ice cream, although it's creamy like one -- is locally made and sold in half-gallon containers.
Also new from Meadow Gold: The company is donating a portion of its sales of special cartons of vanilla, chocolate, Neapolitan and Cookies 'n Cream ice cream to Hawaii's youth soccer teams.
The cartons have a soccer-themed design featuring the logo of the American Youth Soccer Organization. Proceeds will support AYSO's coaching and referee programs, as well as other activities.
