Small-scale reef fi sheries provide

much more than paychecks for their communities, according to a study led by the Kīholo Bay community and supported by researchers at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa.

In addition to determining that the Kīholo Bay fi shery produced over 30,000 meals per year, with an economic value of over $78,000, the study found that 58 percent of the total catch was kept by the fi shers, 33.5 percent was given away to friends and family, and only 8.5 percent was sold on the market. The fi shery also proved to be culturally important, with 20 percent of the catch used for pā‘ ina, or cultural events.

“[The fi shery] has a huge role in creating a “sense of place” through practicing family tradi-tions and, for Native Hawaiians, their cultural rights,” said Hal Koike, a graduate student from UH’s department of biology.

With over 90 percent of the catch staying within the community, the researchers concluded that the fi shery helped feed local families, provided opportunities for fi sh-ers to earn a living, and allowed the local community to continue to practice cultural events.

LOCALS TAKE THE LEADOne objective of the project was

to empower the community to take the lead and better manage their own resources, according to Koike. Hui Aloha Kīholo, a commu-

nity group devoted to responsible stewardship, completed the mon-itoring and data collection, while the researchers came up with the methods of the study.

“Working with an active commu-nity such as Hui Aloha Kīholo is critical because you need someone on the ground with deep knowl-edge of the area and fi sh to sur-vey and collect [this] information,” Koike said. “We were very fortunate to have someone perfect for that from Hui Aloha Kīholo.”

The researchers also collabo-

rated with Conservation Interna-tional and The Nature Conservancy to determine what fi sh were in the water, how the fi sh were caught, where the fi sh went to, and how the fi sh were used. The compre-hensive approach that followed the fi sh from reef to table gave the researchers new insight into why healthy ecosystems are important for local communities, according to Alan Friedlander of UH’s biol-ogy department.

The study also noted that the rate of overfi shing and potentially illegal fi shing appeared to decline with the presence of commu-nity members surveying the reef, based on the observations that the surveyors took.

“I think the community felt much more empowered being involved in this and having a say and a better understanding … of the resources in Kīholo,” said Kirsten Oleson, an assistant professor from UH’s Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management.

The knowledge of sustainable fi shing practices and the local cycles of the fi shes’ population and reproduction in Kīholo have been passed down through the gener-ations. Combined with the com-munity’s interest in sustaining the populations of fi shes for the future, the community’s knowledge makes the community the best stewards for their resources, according to Friedlander.

SUSTAINABILITY IN SMALL-SCALEWhen comparing small-scale

fi sheries to large-scale fi sheries,

smaller ones tend to hire more people and keep the catch in the local community, according to Koike. Place-based management, such as the one at Kīholo Bay, allows for policies to adapt to local condi-tions, Oleson said. The community can also change policies in order to meet their needs and behaviors.

In contrast, large-scale fi sheries employ fewer people and the local community gets less of the prof-its. In addition, the effi ciency of large-scale fi shing gear often leads to overfi shing. The fi shing gear

itself is often destructive to the environment as well. This makes large-scale commercial fi sheries unsustainable for nearshore fi sh-eries such as Kīholo Bay, according to Friedlander.

While there are benefi ts to using small-scale policies, Oleson added that having centralized oversight is also important to connect fi sheries to one another.

“Fish go from bay to bay, [and] people go from place to place,” Ole-son said. “So, we also have to have a systemwide view when we think about resource management.”

UNITING TRADITIONS WITH SCIENCEThe researchers also had the

opportunity to learn from the com-munity members during the study. Friedlander said the research-ers originally planned on using a random statistical design when assessing the fi shery. However, the community members pointed out how lunar cycles affect fi shing and worked with the researchers to improve the researcher’s survey based on this knowledge.

“[We] can learn valuable lessons about natural resources from cus-tomary and local knowledge, and the nexus of traditional and west-ern science can increase our ability to better manage these resources that means so much to so many,” Friedlander said. “This study shows

the importance of working with communities and the wealth of knowledge that they possess.”

GETTING RESEARCHERS ONBOARDOleson studied coastal fi sher-

ies in Madagascar before com-ing to Hawai‘ i. Finding how people are really connected to their fi sh-eries, she wanted to further study how best to manage and sustain marine resources. Friedlander, who has worked for over three decades with local fi shing communities in the Pacifi c, wanted to carry out a study that would go into great detail on how marine resources have great importance.

Hawai‘ i currently has limited information on small-scale fi sher-ies, such as the one in Kīholo Bay, Koike said. The type of survey that the researchers conducted, which is known as a creel survey, gives infor-mation about the catch, the gear used, and the fi shing effort. Koike deemed the survey as one of the few methods that gives information detailed enough for management.

“When they told me that we could work with communities that share the same vision as mine to gather information of a near-shore fi shery, I couldn’t say no,” Koike said.

COVER STORY

COURTNEY TEAGUENEWS EDITOR

Library hours in future summers could be increased, thanks to a res-olution proposed by the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Graduate Stu-dent Organization (GSO).

GSO President Jonathan Dial said that, ideally, summer hours would be both increased and shifted to times that students tend to be more available. Still, he felt an acceptable compromise would be to at least shift the current list of hours to ones that are more accommodating to students and adding Saturday as an option.

“By keeping students from being able to do the research that they need to do when they’re able to do it, it’s contrary to the aca-demic mission [of the university],” Dial said.

Associated Students of the Uni-versity of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa (ASUH) President Kelly Zakimi said the sen-ate has not taken an offi cial stance, but will review the GSO resolution in upcoming weeks to decide if they will vote internally.

Imai Chock, a UH Mānoa senior and employee of the Sinclair Library, said she struggled to fi nd a place to study after working until the library’s 6 p.m. summer closing time and felt students would bene-fi t from increased library hours.

REACHING A CONSENSUSDial and Bret Polopolus-Meredith,

GSO’s employment and compensa-tion chairman, said the resolution about summer hours was passed unanimously amongst an estimated 60 GSO representatives, who also consulted their peers.

Both libraries on campus are open summer weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from noon

to 6 p.m., according to a GSO res-olution. If UH Mānoa were to shift hours, GSO would like to see those change to 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. If more hours were to be added, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. “would be ideal,” Dial said.

Additionally, the organization would like weekend hours to be adjusted accordingly on both Saturday, which is currently off limits on the summer schedule, and Sunday.

GSO hopes to start making progress in a month or so, when UH administrators and GSO mem-bers have more open schedules.

BENEFITTING STUDENTSThe issue of increasing summer

hours was initially raised to Dial by another student, not a member of GSO’s executive council, who had grown frustrated with the library’s

schedule.Dial said many graduate students

have heavier commitments during the year, which causes them to put their personal research on hold until the summer months and the librar-ies are a major source of informa-tion for their independent studies.

“Because of the way the library hours are set up, they’re unable to

do that,” Dial said.“When I’ve taught [in the sum-

mer], I’ve seen a number of students during the summer scrambling to get all their work done,” Pol-opolus-Meredith said.

Polopolus-Meredith felt there might be a connection to this trend and the shortened library hours.

MOVING FORWARDThe resolution was sent to mem-

bers of the UH community includ-ing the cāhancellor, ASUH, Dean of Graduate Education and other fi g-ures who work to assist students and their research.

“They’re the people who are going to be pertinent to the dis-cussion and getting [the hours] changed, and so we’re going to meet with those people … to seeabout the possibility of making this happen,” Dial said.

Two University of Hawai‘ i pro-grams, The Maui Food Innova-tion Center (MFIC) and XLR8UH, were among the 80 winners of the Growth Accelerator Award.

“Through the wide-spread out-reach of this competition, we are able to reach entrepreneurial eco-systems across the country,” Maria Contreras-Sweet, SBA Administrator, said in a press release. “My com-mitment is to make our resources available to 21st century entrepre-neurs where they are, and these accelerators, also known as incuba-tors and innovation hubs, are the

gathering place for today’s innova-tors and disruptors.”

Vassilis Syrmos, UH vice presi-dent for research and innovation, said there are plans to create more accelerators at UH Hilo. Partner-ships with Kamehameha Schools for joint accelerator programs at Kapi‘olani Community College and Windward Community College are also being considered.

XLR8UHHawai‘ i’s fi rst proof of concept

center, XLR8UH’s goal is to invest in innovative ideas and provide budding entrepreneurs with the opportunity to make their idea marketable.

XLR8UH Managing Partner Omar Sultan said the program was happy to have gained attention for the work it had done.

“We were overjoyed. Obviously, we put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this, as has the university, so it’s awesome to get that national recognition for this,” Sultan said in a phone interview. “It’s wonderful, it’s a great validation [that] what we’re doing is unique, is putting us into the top tier university accelera-tor program, [and] accelerator pro-grams in general across the nation.”

While students, faculty and alumni are able to apply to XLR8UH, Sultan said applicants are accepted based on the individual’s drive,

commitment, team and the mar-ketability of their concept.

Since launching in 2014, XLR8UH has funded projects such as Fly-Wire Cameras, the world’s smallest line of sight HD wearable camera and MeetingSift, an online plat-form that allows leaders to plan and run meetings through their smart devices.

THE MAUI FOOD INNOVATION CENTERBased at the University of Hawai‘i

Maui College, The Maui Food Inno-vation Center provides guidance to food and agricultural entrepreneurs in Hawai‘ i.

Starting off as a food produc-tion facility in a former kitchen on campus, UH Maui College has since received funding from the U.S. Department of Labor Trade Adjust-ment Act grant, which allowed for educational and training courses in food manufacturing.

State Legislature later provided $2.7 million to renovate the facility.

Although the facility has not been built yet, Susan Wyche, direc-tor of the Offi ce of Grant Develop-ment at UH Maui College said the center would provide participants with more than just information.

“The Maui Food Innovation Cen-ter will serve as a resource for information, services, and educa-tion and training,” Wyche said in an

email interview. “When completed, this facility will promote research and development of new food products, food testing, nutritional analysis, and labeling, and other equipment and services neededfor the food industry.”

As a winner of the competition, MFIC will use the $50,000 to support the Maui Accelerator Program (MAP), a program that targets women and minority-owned enterprises.

FUTURE OF UH ACCELERATORSWhile Syrmos said the goal of UH

accelerators is to inspire entrepre-neurship and help those involved in potential marketable projects,there are still some holes in theprocess.

He said establishing a “train-ing and mentoring program” would help faculty and student entrepre-neurs to take the fi rst step towardtheir goals.

He hopes that in the future every student will get the opportunity

to be exposed to innovation and entrepreneurship.

“It is a remarkable educational experience that our students would be able to build upon in anythingthey decide in their professional and personal future journey in life,” Syrmos said.

DANIEL MURATA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I The Small Business Administration (SBA) launched the competition in 2014 with the intention

to assist organizations whose goal is to help start-up companies.

It’s wonderful, it’s a great validation [that] what we’re doing is unique.

Take smoking off the sidewalks

CARLY YASHIKI STAFF WRITER

Hawai‘i needs more of that “green” – hemp, that is. As this plant is versa-tile enough to be used as paper, fuel, soil renewal, fi ber, health care prod-ucts, and a stable profi t in the state’s economy, it becomes questionable why it has not been legalized sooner.

On January 26, the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa made great strides in its industrial hemp proj-ect by receiving a permit to initiate their fi rst crop. The plants grew 10 feet in height in as little as 10 weeks.

However, the illegal standing of the crop is preventing it from fl our-ishing anywhere else in Hawai‘ i. Despite the large support behind the project, there are a few legis-lators who are not fully convinced that Hawai‘ i needs this plant. With

further support and awareness from local communities, hemp will be the state’s ultimate two-in-one package. It will be both environ-mentally liberating and it will put more money into our pockets.

HEMP: THE SUPER-PLANTHemp, a variation of the Can-

nabis sativa plant, is a promis-ing source of methanol. No longer would Hawai‘ i be so dependent on fossil fuels, known to be quickly depleting and harming the Earth’s atmosphere, if we start growing the plant as a green substitute. New studies, such as one conducted at the University of Alberta, also cre-ated a super capacitor from hemp as an alternative to expensive tra-ditional batteries.

The super-plant can be converted into paper that does not turn yellow. On average, trees take about 50-500

years to grow before made into paper; however, hemp only takes about 100 days. Hemp paper lasts longer com-pared to wood paper and can also be recycled up to three times more.

Finally, when used in construc-tion, hemp fi berboards can be twice as strong as wood. One acre of hemp is the equivalent of four acres of trees. By investing in the plant, Hawai‘ i will manufacture more fuel, paper and fi berboards, and will save some trees.

MARIJUANA DOES NOT EQUAL HEMPState Representative Cynthia

Thielen told Hawai‘ i News Now that “there are a few, a very few num-ber of legislators [who] still are afraid of a crop that won’t get any-one high.”

Marijuana is not the same as hemp. Hemp will not get you high, and unlike marijuana, it can be used for industrialized purposes. There is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in both plants, a substance that causes intoxication. Marijuana, however, contains about 15 percent THC, whereas hemp’s level is only 0.5 percent – not enough to get anyone high.

STILL NOT CONVINCED? “This is an amazing plant. It’s

going to be a boon for Hawai‘i farm-ers, for the Hawai‘ i economy,” State Senator Mike Gabbard, Chair of the Committee on Water, Land and Agriculture, told Hawaii News Now. Hemp will not only bring environ-mental benefi ts to the state’s econ-omy, but also economic stability.

“With the demise of sugarcane pineapple ... this can be some-thing that can truly replace that on a massive scale. This can put peo-ple to work, can put dollars back in our economy, and market globally,” State Representative Chris Lee said to Hawaii News Now in July.

Financial circulation will cre-ate more jobs while putting more money into our pockets. Hemp will contribute a source of fuel and paper, and facilitate construction in our community, along with its other 25,000 uses.

Legalize the other ‘green’

Industrial hemp is good for Hawai‘i

TROY HEITMANN GUEST WRITER

I reviewed the website, watched the news and read the banners. I’m not 15 years old. I’m aware of the health risks and am constantly reminded, on many fronts, of the poor choice I made as an adoles-cent to start smoking. I respect and value people’s decision not to smoke. Truthfully, I wish I never started, but that’s not my point.

EXISTING LAWSThe health conviction of sec-

ond hand smoke was established long ago. When the state legislature adopted its smoking policy, second hand smoke was the main deliber-ation. According to the law, smoking within 20 feet of public buildings is prohibited.

Smokers — not only on campus — have complied with the policy

and it does not take a list of ref-erences to realize how different things are today. We have moral consideration for others and we’re educated about the health risks of secondhand smoke; I rarely wit-ness a smoker light a cigarette out of disrespect.

At the same time, you cannot keep using the effects of second-hand smoke as a crutch. If I’m 50 feet away, it likely does not harm you any more than the exhaust of the campus security SUV driving by. In any case, the 20 feet distance of consideration was established.

SOLUTIONIt’s true that some people care-

lessly walk through campus while smoking or defi ne their own dis-tance of consideration. If those few

individuals have become the basis of the argument, then designate strategically placed smoking areas throughout campus and prohibit it otherwise. Without instruction, this is generally what smokers do any-way: we establish unoffi cial spaces where we feel our habit has the least impact on others. If some of us have failed in choosing the right spot, we’d be happy to fi nd a new one out of consideration.

Here’s the solution: UH wants a smoke-free environment, smokers want a place to smoke. Have those smoking areas distributed around campus, just as they did at Lee-ward Community College. Enforce a smoke-free campus outside the designated areas with campus security. Set a $10 fi ne, the cost of one pack of cigarettes, which I assure you will detour any smoker. It even provides a small source of income, which then could be used

to improve smoking areas with ash-trays to keep the area clean and hazard-free.

SMOKING ON SIDEWALKSAccording to the new regula-

tion, the entire UH Mānoa cam-pus is smoke-free with a “courtesy zone” along the bordering side-walks – where one would fi nd the most pedestrian traffi c. Effectively, the policy forces both smokers and nonsmokers into a situation where second hand smoke is unavoidable.

Personally, I do not smoke on the sidewalk because I fi nd it morally wrong and I choose not to subject others to my bad habit. The new policy ostracizes smokers and has a negative impact on other people. In a place of higher education, you would expect more from its pol-

icy makers, who, I presume, are all smoke-free.

HYPOCRISY The part that gets to me most:

the activists’ promotion is for a “safe and healthy learning and working environment,” yet on cam-pus and at affi liated events you can purchase alcohol and unhealthy foods, making the entire project look hypocritical. I’ve heard argu-ments that such indulgences don’t directly affect bystanders as sec-ond hand smoke does, but that is side stepping the discussion.

I embrace the freedom of choice to grab a beer after work or snack on nachos and cheese while sup-porting the baseball team. To each their own: UH has built a time and place for such frills, which means it should designate a place for me to smoke. It’s a choice I should not be ostracized for, after all.

All of the time, effort and money that went into building a com-pletely smoke-free campus should have been directed elsewhere. It would take just 10 minutes to buy signs designating smoking areas for the entire Mānoa; to install them, it would take the time it took me to write this article.

Smoking being permitted only in such areas would resolve the issue on moral grounds because it’s better defi ned. When the law is too vague — as it is when there is no offi cial enforcement — the door to abuse is left open. Here’s an example: an individual smoking disrespectfully would require the confl icting intervention of bystand-ers based on opinion. Designating a smoking location removes indi-vidual interpretation and leaves enforcement to security personnel.

Troy Heitmann is a Ph.D. candidate in Ocean and Resources Engineering.

UH Mānoa should have designated smoking areasUH Mānoa should have designated smoking areas

It would take just ten minutes to buy signs designating smoking areas for the entire Mānoa campus.

This can put people to work, can put dollars back in our economy...

Ridesourcing is great for con-sumers. The fares are signifi cantly lower than that of traditional taxis – about $30 from the airport to town, according to Yelp reviews. Judg-ing by ridesourcing’s popularity, Hawai‘ i is getting increasingly tired of the old system.

However, traditional taxicab affi l-iates, among others, want an end to Transportation Network Compa-nies (TNC’s) like Uber and Lyft. This is unfair, anti-competition and only hurts the many consumers who benefi t from simpler, more effi cient and cheaper means of transpor-tation. This is not to say that TNCs are without their faults — and they must be addressed — but ridesourc-ing makes people’s lives easier.

REGULATION, OVERREGULATION After Uber’s rabid success in

Honolulu, many local taxi busi-nesses got upset. Not to miss out on opportunities to force ridesourc-ing companies to purchase giant bites of policy, local insurance com-panies also jumped aboard. Senate Bill 1280 was born.

SB1280 will have public utilities commissions regulate transpor-tation network companies (TNCs) and their drivers, set up additional requirements for the latter and set up additional insurance require-ments for their employers.

SB1280 is supported by the testi-mony of the major insurance inter-ests in Hawai‘ i — GEICO and State Farm — and various taxi compa-nies. The insurance providers take issue with the drivers not having business insurance. However, Uber is insured far more than the aver-age Honolulu taxi: up to a million dollars. In contrast, Hawai‘ i law requires taxi companies to carry insurance of $100,000 per a single person, $200,000 for more than one and $50,000 for property damage.

The million dollar primary insur-ance policy, however, doesn’t kick in until there’s an actual passenger

in an Uber vehicle – which makes sense. However, insurance com-panies do not like that and seek to eliminate the difference, and force Uber to buy more insurance. According to a petition on Uber’s website, the new bill may not make Honolulu a viable market for TNCs.

If ridesourcing leaves Honolulu because of the greed of insurance companies, consumers will be hurt because taxicab companies will have no competition. Furthermore, SB1280 does nothing to address the actual negative consequences of TNCs, such as lack of benefi ts for full-time employees, gas costs, etc.

IN THE NAME OF “PUBLIC SAFETY”SB1280 has its critics among tra-

ditional taxi and insurance compa-nies, who would benefi t the most from kicking TNCs out of Hawai‘ i. They feel the bill does not do enough to level the playing fi eld for them; among them is general man-ager of EcoCab, David Jung:

“I came, I saw, I conqured (sic); great attitude if you’re Ceasar con-quring (sic) another nation, not so if you’re coming into a state and asking its people to entrust their lives and safety,” wrote Jung (in all caps and underlined) in a testi-mony against the bill.

Some of his points, I admit, are valid. Ridesourcing companies should be subject to the same license requirements and fees as any service that uses public roads for profi t.

However, Uber has a strict review policy for drivers, and those who have too low reviews (under 4.6 stars) will be suspended from the service. Drivers must also undergo background checks, and I do not see how TNC drivers are more dan-gerous than traditional taxi drivers.

At the same time, critics of SB1280 rarely mention the actual employees of companies like Uber and Lyft. Drivers are under a lot of pressure to have high ratings, with a constant risk of being barred from the service for even a slightly unfavorable review. They must also

maintain their own cars and cannotreceive health care benefi ts.

WE CAN’T FIGHT THE FUTURE Uber and Lyft are progressive com-

panies – there is no cash exchangedbecause all transactions are handledby the app. In Uber’s case, not onlycan customers review drivers, butdrivers can also review customers,and customers with poor reviews canalso be barred from using the ser-vice. This overturns the “customeris king” mentality behind any ser-vice-heavy industry and creates afairer and more equal space pro-moting mutual respect and friendli-ness. It also makes both consumersand drivers more comfortable.

This is not to say that Uber isfl awless and not guilty of ques-tionable practices. While as a con-sumer I think it’s great, I wouldn’tbe too happy as an employee.SB1280 is not doing much toaddress real and relevant issuesthat affect drivers’ lives.

For instance, Uber drivers arenot given medical benefi ts thatcome with traditional jobs, anddrivers must pay for gas coststhemselves. TNCs should berequired to give full-time employ-ees benefi ts, just like any otheremployer in the country.

TNC drivers don’t make thatmuch. “Only two percent earnedmore than $75,000 in 2014. Nearly6 out of 10 drivers earned less than$10,000 in driving income in 2014,”said Ryder Pearce, co-founder oftransportation analytics app Sher-paShare.

Ridesourcing allows people tomake money with ease and fl exibil-ity. This, however, has negative sideeffects like allowing TNCs to exist ina legal gray zone when it comes togiving employees benefi ts.

There’s no point in fi ghting prog-ress — crippling TNCs fi nancially— but making sure employees arereasonably taken care of falls onthe law. Hawai‘ i needs ridesourcingand regulation of employee bene-fi ts for TNC drivers. SB1280, how-ever, is not the answer.

JARRETT SHIRAI / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I Ridesourcing is under attack from taxis and public transit companies all over the world.

On Aug. 26, WDBJ-TV reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, were murdered on-air by former WDBJ-TV employee Vester Lee Flanagan, 41, who later killed himself, according to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Offi ce.

The shooting occurred in Moneta, Virginia, around 6:40 a.m. EST. Flana-gan also shot Vicki Gardner, 62, as she was being interviewed by Parker.

According to a Franklin County Sheriff’s Offi ce release: “Flana-gan was a former employee of WDBJ-TV and on air went by Bryce Williams. Flanagan sent a lengthy, multi-page fax to a national news organization in New York about this incident. Investigators now have a copy of it to use in the course of this investigation.”

situation, and it’s yet another instance that should show us that we need more gun control and regulation in this country. We really need to just take this seriously because anyone walking down the

street, anytime, could be in danger when we do not impose serious regulations on fi rearms. [As a jour-nalist], it defi nitely makes you feel more as a target. … We’ve seen so many of these tragedies this year, past years, and I think it defi nitely should be more of a conversa-tion as to why we aren’t imposing stricter laws to make sure these things don’t repeat.

DAVID MCCRACKEN / SPORTS EDITORWhen I’m out on the fi eld, I

really enjoy being a sports jour-nalist. It’s hard for me to com-prehend something dangerous or tragic happening to me personally because I’m just out there doing what I love to do. Granted, there are incidents when people died during sporting events. … Any-thing can happen in sports. After what happened today in Virginia, it really puts things in perspective that just because we’re reporting from the sidelines, it doesn’t mean that life stops – things will con-tinue to happen.

JESSICA HOMRICH / PUBLIC RELATIONS COORDINATORI thought it was extremely crazy

that someone ... could do something so terrible in a normal environment. When I see [warzone coverage], okay, that stuff’s scary, but I want to do it. But then it makes you think that if you go to a protest on campus like last year, people are upset about something. Literally anywhere you are, something can happen. It’s kind of scary thinking your life is in dan-ger when you’re just doing your job.

IKAIKA SHIVELEY /

ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITORI thought that would only hap-

pen in war zones or covering gang stories. Even working for Ka Leo, I don’t think [being attacked or murdered] would ever happen, but I’m sure there’s some stories that can lead to that. If it’s just another journalist that’s doing it, that’s insane that it would happen.

Sneezing, coughs and sniffl es – those are preventable symptoms that could ruin the beginning of your semester. There are many ways to avoid getting sick and con-tracting contagious illnesses like the common cold, fl u, or worse, strep throat.

UH’s department of Human Nutrition, Food and Animal Sci-ences department (HNFAS) fac-

ulty member Jinan Banna suggests avoiding direct contact with those who are sick and make sure to wash your hands frequently. “Germ hot spots” that you would like to avoid and disinfect would be fre-quently touched objects such as doorknobs, phones or faucets.

Many supplements are available in your local grocery store that have been proven to play a role in pre-venting illnesses and boost immu-nity. These supplements include vitamin D for bone health, vitamin

C for immunity. Though, Banna said that vitamin supplements should be primarily used to fi ll nutritional gaps in your diet.

Vaccinations are still the best way to prevent many types of ail-ments from whooping coughs to many types of infl uenzas, Banna said. It is advised that you dis-cuss with your healthcare provider about immunizations.

Homeopathic, or home remedies, include steam and staying hydrated – hot tea or ginger tea can help,

HNFAS faculty Julia Zee said. Eating foods that are bland like oatmeal or plain soups help if you have an upset stomach. Zee recommended that people who are sick should avoid eating spicy or greasy.

Don’t wait until it’s too late tofollow these tips. It also helps to do your own research on the types of contagious bugs that are out there. Overall, Banna and Zee rec-ommended a balanced diet.

PLANNING THE ULTIMATE THROWBACK PARTY

THE PLAYLIST

The perfect playlist may take hours to create, but it will make everyon nostalgic. Playing songs that your guest forgot existed will put them in a mood like no other. Make sure to include favorites from all genres that span from the mid-90’s to the early-2000’s. This ranges from Disney channel to Fall Out Boy tracks that still to this day you’re not sure what they’re saying. Guests should submit songs beforehand so everyone can get a taste of their tween glory.

THEMEThe best parties are themed par-

ties. Having creative costumes makes for great photo opportunities.

1. Your awkward stage — school is a great inspiration for this theme. Anything from slap-on bracelets, weirdly matched prints and pants that are too short.

2. High school stereotypes - High school seems so long ago for some of us, so get dressed up and relive what you thought were the best days of your lives.

3. 90’s music video - For this one, look up any music video from the 90’s — there will be many options. Spandex and gold chains can be found on Amazon.

FOOD

Food can make or break a party, so having the right choices is necessary for a night of fun. Find the snacks you craved in the golden days. Have your guests each bring a snack to this blast-from-the-past extravaganza. Here are some elementary school styled favorites for starts.

Kool-aidBagel Bites

Fruit Rollups Ring PopsPopsicles

GAMES

Make sure to have a few activities planned to distinguish the spectac-ular from a middle school dance.

As the night goes on and the play-list gets guests in the feels, it’s important to keep them occupied with a game. Here are some games your guests can play throughout the night. To make it more entertaining, have losers take a shot.

Dance Dance RevolutionDisney Scene It

Super Smash BrothersTwister

Heads Up - That’s So 90’s category

Now that school is back in ses-sion, the reality of growing up haunts students on a daily basis. Sometimes, today’s music doesn’t ease the stress. It’s time to put your iTunes library on shuffl e to listen to your favorite band from the past — whether it’s Bowling for Soup or any other band — and throw a party that honors your childhood.

Follow these tips for a party that’ll put you and your friends in nostalgic bliss.

Local reggae artist Mike Love performed at the University of Hawai‘ i’s annual Welcome Back Bash this past Friday. After the per-formance, I spoke with Mike Love before he prepares for his upcom-ing U.S. tour.

Ka Leo: The term “Babylon” is prevalent in several of your songs, as it stands for oppression. Is there anything in Hawai‘ i that Babylon relates to?

Mike Love: “Oh, gosh, so much, man. There’s a system placed in every corner on the world that con-trols everything in the world. And there’s an elite group of people, kinda behind a lot of the oppres-sion going on the world. It’s every-where, every country in the world. That’s really the prevailing force behind the use of that term. The system in general what I refer to as Babylon, a system of oppression that’s like the fabric of society. A system lies.

KL: Your upcoming album is titled “Love Will Find a Way.” Is love a recurring theme in this new album?

ML: “Well, it is about love and the power of love. The force of love to overcome negativity in darkness and oppression even in the most uncertain, most trying times. Love is at the core of everything. It is the force and reason that we are all here to discover that connec-tion that is love, the higher power that is at the root of everything. The common thread and theme of the album is that these are dark times we are living, the most dark times in history as we know it. There’s a lot of dark and sinister things happen-ing, and when we become aware of that and witness to it, it breaks down our hope and positivity for the future. It’s the idea that even in face of all that negativity, pain and suffering; the power of love is at the root of everything and in us all. It will prevail in the times that we

need it most. I’ve been a witness to it too many times to deny it.

KL: You use different types of technology in your shows, like the looping machine. Do you think that technology will ever go too far, to a point where people would lose the sense of creativity?

ML: “It already has, long ago. You listen to the radio and you hear the same song over and over again. It’s just different people singing it. It’s the same producers, the same guys writing the music. As humans, we are never going to be the perfect machines that can sing perfectly on pitch to a standard of a com-puter. With the technology in music and recording, all the instruments are quantized, and the voices are all auto-tuned beyond a level that’s humanly possible. If you lis-ten to The Beatles, their pitches were great, but they were never perfectly on pitch. But it’s warm and sounds beautiful. But if The Beatles came out with an album today, it would sound off. I think, defi nitely, technology in music has taken it too far, and music sounds sterile and lifeless.

KL: In a previous interview, you said that you had to write multiple songs until you found one that you were content with. Can you explain what to you is the perfect song and the process.”

ML: There’s no song that’s the perfect song. Some people think when you start writing music, it’s like singing. Some people can nat-urally sing, and some people can’t. I always loved to sing growing up but I had to really teach myself vocal techniques, and now I think I have a pretty good technique, or I have a certain style that I have developed. Some people may have a more natural talent, but nobody just starts singing, and they’re good. I think songwriting is the same way. Nobody just writes their fi rst song, and it’s a mega-awesome song that everybody loves. I said [in a previ-ous interview] I wrote 50 songs, or

80, before that I wrote anything that I thought was good. I could tell there were things there that I was working on, and ideas that I was developing were starting to get good. Over time, it’s like you are developing and doing things, and it becomes unique. When it’s truly unique and something special, then you write a song one day, and it’s like oh, that’s pretty good. Pretty soon, you’re just writing songs that are from your heart and honest.

KL: You played at UH tonight. Each student here has some sort of passion, but it seems that stu-dents and people in general have a fear to pursue their passion or what they love. Do you have any advice for them?

ML: Yeah. Don’t be afraid. [laughs] No, it’s true. I totally feel that. Even when I was grow-ing up, and I’m sure you’ve felt it too, you can see how even in the younger generations that the fear of stepping out to be unique and be different is even stronger than when I was growing up. And I felt that too growing up, that feeling of if I do something and step out and say, “Hey, here I am; I want to try this thing,” and you look stu-pid, and people laugh at you. It’s a feeling that’s like the end of the world, but when you get to my age, you just don’t care anymore. I was lucky enough to grow up in a family where my parents encouraged me to be myself. More and more, the system, entertainment and fash-ion, targets them to not be differ-ent and to conform. That’s where I think a lot of that stems from. A thing where people are afraid to follow their passion, as they’ve been trained from an early age to be afraid of being themselves or doing something different than the next guy, afraid of failing. The thing is, really, if you don’t ever try anything, then you’re just living in a complete failure. From when I started playing music, sometimes I would play for a couple people, but I was connecting with people, whether it was one person or 20. People now say, “Man, you’re awe-some; you’re going to make it.” Back when I was playing for one or two people, I was already telling peo-ple that would say that, that I am successful because I’m doing what I want to do. I’m free to do what I want to do; I’m happy, and I’m connecting to people and helping people. I may reach a point where I’m playing for stadiums of peo-ple, but that doesn’t even matter. That whole viewing things in those terms don’t matter being, because if you are doing things that is ful-fi lling, then you are already a suc-cess. You got to be willing to try and go with [what] your gut and feelings are telling you.”

Love’s show at The Republik this Wednesday celebrates his new album and kicks off his U.S. tour.

Your Kitchen achieved popularity through its pork bowls that are simmeredovernight, served with steaming hot rice and a lightly fried soft-boiled egg.

Your Kitchen in Pālolo

STEPHANIE KIM STAFF WRITER

Your Kitchen is a hole-in-the-wall that serves up a delicious, limited menu selection and shaved ice that’s perfect for this hot weather. The restaurant opened up in 2009 in residential Pālolo

After I found street parking in the neighborhood and reach the steps of Your Kitchen, I was surprised that the raving Yelp reviews and the talk about the famed pork bowls come from this place. The restaurant sits between Noelani Gallery and a fi sh-ing and hobbying store. The small kitchen and seating area could fi t up to eight people. The majority of the customers either order take-out by phone or at the counter, or they sit on the steps right outside of the restaurant.

Your Kitchen has a small house-hold-sized kitchen with fi ve to six people on staff, but it still man-ages to serve up dishes that are full of fl avor. Its limited menu fea-tures only four items: the pork bowl ($8.99 regular, $6.50 mini), the beef steak bowl ($12 regular, $7.99 mini), the loco moco ($8.99) and the oya-kodon ($8.99 regular, $6.50 mini).

The pork bowl is the most pop-ular item among customers and lives up to the hype. I ordered the regular-sized pork bowl (pictured), which was more than enough for me. The pork is simmered over-night and served on a warm bed of rice, topped with a lightly fried soft-boiled egg. The pork is so full of fl avor and the slight chewiness was perfect for this sweet and salty fl avor. The fried soft-boiled egg was crunchy, soft and went well with the pork fl avor.

Along with its main dish items, Your Kitchen serves shaved ice topped with housemade fl avors.

There are nine fl avors that includegreen tea, haupia or lychee, alongwith eight special shaved ice items.A strawberry-fl avored shaved icecomes with vanilla ice cream andcondensed milk, and the fujiyama,which is a green tea-fl avored shaveice, comes with green tea ice creamand azuki beans. There are twosizes: small ($3.50) and large ($4)for the fl avored shaved ice andthe special shaved ice items go for$5-$5.50. For an additional charge,you can add vanilla ice cream,azuki beans or condensed milk(50 cents), haupia or green tea icecream ($1). If you’d like to have yourlarge shaved ice or special shavedice to go, it’ll cost you $1.

Your Kitchen is a great place tograb food to go or stop by for someshaved ice and sit on the steps withsome friends. Either way, the foodis delicious and a must-try.

DREW AFUALOSTAFF WRITER

When Max Wittek was named the Warriors starting quarterback for the 2015 season this past July, it signaled a change for the Univer-sity of Hawai‘ i football program; a “win-now or never” mentality.

After recording a 4-9 record last season under head coach Norm Chow, who is now entering his fourth season at the helm of the program, the Warriors have taken drastic mea-sures in its approach to the game on the gridiron and to its coaching staff.

“We feel good about it, and we feel healthy,” Chow said. “We’re anxious to prove ourselves and we still have a lot to practice, but we feel good.”

According to Chow, the fi rst game is always tough and there is always a level of uncertainty involved due to the lack of experience new play-ers may have with returning ones. However, each player has the same end goal in mind: to win.

First on deck for the ‘Bows is a home game against the University of Colorado Buffaloes. The Buffa-loes had a worse record than the Warriors last season, posting a 2-10 regular season record. However, Colorado recorded their fi rst win of the 2014 season against Hawai‘ i with a 21-12 victory at home.

For the Warriors to survive against Colorado and be successful this season, the team needs to have the right mindset going into each week.

Winning the fi rst game of the season would be an emotional lift for the Warriors, but victories may come seldom as the Warriors are looking at a competitive sched-ule this season that includes no

bye week and a schedule of 13 games in 13 weeks. They are also set to play the former BCS National Champions Ohio State and national powerhouse University of Wiscon-sin. What makes these two games even more diffi cult for the War-riors? Both games are away.

Regardless of the tough weeks ahead, the players remain hopeful, especially after fi nishing their fall camp strong.

“It’s great. Everybody is really coming together as a team,” said senior and starting linebacker Lance Williams. “It’s a lot different than last year; we communicate a lot more both on and off the fi eld.

So I can tell it’s a really great team.”Some of the changes and better

chemistry within the team, accord-ing to Williams, may be attributed to the fact that there were fi ve new coaches added to the staff includ-ing three new coordinators: Don Bailey as offensive coordinator, Tom Mason as defensive coordina-tor and Jake Cookus as the special teams coordinator.

Chow, with an entirely new staff around him, sees the change as a step in the right direction.

“Coaching is a very transient pro-fession,” Chow said. “We all know that, and the new guys are doing a great job.”

In addition to the newly appointed staff, the Warriors have made some major changes on their starting lineup as well. One of these changes comes at arguably the most import-ant position on the team: quar-terback. Replacing their starting quarterback last season, Ikaika Wool-sey, is senior University of Southern California transfer Max Wittek.

Wittek appeared in 13 career games for the Trojans during the 2012 and 2013 seasons before transferring to Hawai‘ i after los-ing the starting job under center to Cody Kessler. Wittek was in compe-tition with last year’s starter Ikaika Woolsey for the quarterback posi-

tion during the spring and early summer training season, until the team fi nally made their decision offi cial in late July.

With the hype of his four-star background as a high school quar-terback and starting for one of the best Pac-12 schools in the nation, Wittek feels that the pressure and anticipation is motivation to per-form well.

“I think with coach Bailey’s new offense, it’s pretty simple,” Wit-tek said. “As long as I know what I’m looking at, we should get good results. Hopefully then I can lead us to some victories.”

On the defensive end, under

the new direction of coach Mason, there are several returners entering their last year with a more deter-mined mindset. Returning to the gridiron is senior linebacker Simon Poti, senior offensive lineman Ben Clarke and senior defensive backs Ne’Quan Phillips and Jerrol Gar-cia-Williams.

Although the Warriors have made some alterations to their staff and starting lineup, it is diffi cult to say whether the team will be able to harness their offensive potential due to some of the major losses on offense.

Former starting running back Joey Iosefa, now a fullback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was UH’s lead running back last year. Scott Harding, a fan favorite as the team’s punter, punt returner and wide receiver last season, also graduated this past May.

Despite criticism that the sched-ule is too challenging for this team and the pressure focused on Norm Chow, the team continues to remain optimistic; certain that it does not matter who they play as long as they remain focused and prepared for whoever is coming up next.

“I’m excited to play the big guys, like Ohio State and Wisconsin,” Wit-tek said. “Everyone keeps saying how those are going to be tough games, and they are. But to me they are no bigger than any other game, they count as one win or one loss, and I think it’s just a great opportunity for us.”

The will to win Warriors are optimistic they will move their Warriors are optimistic they will move their
