M ARIA K ANAI Features Editor In her short story “Things Blow Up,” Jaimee Wriston Colbert brings out issues in Hawai‘i through the perspective of a local girl dealing with loss. Racism, drug abuse and homelessness are just some of the problems frankly discussed by the narrator throughout the 16 pages.
“I’m do with “I’ nott sure what h t we can d ith it as individuals, but just knowing these things are going on is a fi rst step,” said Colbert. “[The story] points to a certain awareness.” The narrative of “Things Blow Up” is broken up into four sections to refl ect the character’s internal journey, as well as her surroundings. “Each of the experiences in the sections go back in time

Paper, plastic or reusable? M IK AELA BOLLING Contributing Writer
Plastic bags have already been banned on Maui, Kaua‘i, and the Big Island. Now, a small fee may be implemented on all single-use paper and plastic bags on O‘ahu. House Bill 2260 and Senate Bill 2511 are companion bills that have been in the making for four years, according to Stuart Coleman of the Surfrider Foundation. If passed, they would impose a 10-cent fee on all single-use bags. Of the revenue generated, $11 million would fund the Department of Land and Natural Resources’ Watershed Initiative, which would protect rainforests in Hawai‘i to safeguard the island’s water system. With the absence of plastic bags on neighbor islands, paper bag use has increased. This is problematic since it takes more energy to produce, transport and recycle paper bags than it does plastic bags. The introduced legislation tackles this problem by implementing a fee on both paper and plastic. Grocery stores such as Safeway and Times also support the bills because they allow businesses to keep 20 percent of the fees in the ďŹ rst year and 10 percent of the fees the year after.
S U S TA I N E D E F F O R T S Passing the bills has been a main goal of the Surfrider Foundation’s Rise Above Plastics Campaign. Events around campus have also supported this campaign. As part of the initiative, the Ecology Club hosted a showing of the film “BAG ITâ€? in the Sustainability Courtyard. The documentary, which focuses on the effects of plastics on the ecosystem and the human body, gained overwhelming support from its student and public viewers. University of Hawai‘i at MÄ noa graduate Jennifer Atwood claimed that, after seeing the movie, she barely uses plastic bags. She said the most shocking point in the movie was how long plastic bags stay in the environment after use. “Now I feel it’s more of a moral responsibility not to use them,â€? she said. After seeing the movie, UH student Sean Bailie expressed “how depressing and shocking it is to see how many plastic bags that can accumulate in our house in one week.â€? So why don’t more people switch to reusable bags? “It is inconvenient and a hassle to use reusable bags,â€? stated Matt Brock, a UH business student. Atwood suggested “putting a nail up by our door so we don’t forget themâ€? as a solution. When Brock was asked his opinion about the bag bills, he stated, “I would be in support of it. It would persuade me to bring my own bag.â€? See Weighing, next page

A Marine who began his deployment under “don’t ask, don’t tell” recently came home to a country where he is free to kiss his boyfriend in uniform in front of the American fl ag. “It ’s the new normal,” remarked Edward Van Court, assistant militar y science professor and A rmy ROTC instructor at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. A picture of Sgt. Brandon Morgan and his boyfriend sharing their fi rst kiss after a six-month deployment is receiving attention on the Internet just five months after “don’t ask, don’t tell” was repealed. Morgan returned to Kāne‘ohe from Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan, on Feb. 22, where he was reunited with his old friend (turned new boyfriend) Dalan Wells. Over the course of Morgan’s deployment, he and Wells, an artist from Kailua, offi cially became a couple. The photo of Morgan’s homecoming was originally posted on the “Gay Marines” Facebook page on Feb. 25, and it has since received tens of thousands of likes, shares and comments – both supportive and hostile. It was accompanied by the caption “Homecoming for a Marine who posts on this page. Semper fi , brother.” In regards to the amount of attention the photo is receiving, Van Court commented, “I think
it ’s all very silly. The policy is whether it is heterosexual or homosexual is irrelevant. … It ’s not a question anymore.” Being openly gay in the U.S. military is a relatively new freedom. Morgan served two other tours overseas in the past four years, both in compliance with “don’t ask, don’t tell.” President Barack Obama signed the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act of 2010 on Dec. 22, 2010, and the new policy took effect Sept. 20, 2011. “It’s going to go through some growing pains, that’s inevitable,” said Van Court. “Give it a few years, it will sort itself out.”

Hawai‘i has also taken a step toward equal rights in Senate Bill 232, which allows civil unions for all couples. It was enacted over one year ago, on Feb. 23, 2011, and became effective on New Year’s Day 2012. “I think we [Hawai‘i] can be a leader,” said Tambry Young, a lead advocate for Citizens for Equal Rights. “Wherever there is a military presence and civil rights protection will have an opportunity to take the lead.” Young said she is pleased with the amount of support this photo is receiving. She also said she believes that although it seems like a dramatic change, it may be that the support has always been there, and social media simply allows that support to be noticed.

REAL H ARLEY DIVEN Staff Writer
Young activists from REAL, an anti-tobacco organization, will be joining efforts against tobacco companies tomorrow at the Hawai‘i Capitol in recognition of Kick Butts Day. Kick Butts Day encourages communities all over the world to speak up and take action against tobacco companies. “Tobacco-related deaths are the most preventable … on the planet,” said Nicole Sutton, director of R EA L. “We have to counter [tobacco] inf luence, save the state a lot of money and protect the lives of everyone here.” REAL was formed by a group of 15 Hawai‘i youths who banded together 12 years ago. The group continues to be led by young people, with members ranging from 13 to 24 years old. Members take part in legislative advocacy training and learn which bills are relevant to tobacco prevention in Hawai‘i, especially those relating to product placement and advertising. Afterward, they visit the legislators for their individual areas and ask for support. Rather than using health education to deter minors from picking up cigarettes, REAL focuses on advertisements and exposing underlying messages that tobacco industries project to teens. According to Sutton, this unconventional approach of mimicking tobacco advertisement has had a positive effect on young adults’ interest and involvement. “We’re mimicking them, but for good,” noted Layla Fidel, a student of Pearl City High School
and R EA L leadership board member. Events organized by REAL in the past includes a zombie crawl at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa for Halloween last year. The message spread during this movement was that recent studies have discovered that Hollywood movies have become a powerful recruiter of fi rst-time smokers. Affi liating with performers has been another successful way of reaching out to Hawai‘i. Currently, Shell Shock, a hip-hop dance group based on the Big Island, is allied with REAL. Instead of using words, Shell Shock uses hip hop culture to connect with and empower the youth of Hawai‘i, according to Grady Sullivan, a member of Shell Shock. “I just hope they learn and take in that the tobacco industries are targeting the youth, and they are using our common culture, hip-hop culture, and hip-hop dance and self-expression as a means to get the youth to start using their products,” said Sullivan. “I think as long as they are knowledgeable of that, then no youth can join in and fi ght for [the tobacco i ndust r y ’s] cause.”

‘Things Blow Up’ from front page
Although Colbert has lived on the mainland since college, she always turns to Hawai‘i for inspiration. “It’s the places that we grow up in that mark us in a particular way as writers,” said Colbert. She admits the main character has some elements of herself. “At times, characters start out in some ways being us,” she said, “Once a character comes to life on page, I think that’s where they start inhabiting their own voice and their own people. They become somebody different.” “Things Blow Up” ends on a positive note, which Colbert hopes readers will take as a sense of hope. She said, “The story has gone on to [talk about] so many different
problems of death, crystal meth, homelessness. But when [readers] leave the story, I want them to leave with a sense that we can get over these things.” Colbert currently teaches English and creative writing at Binghamton University in New York. As a writer and teacher, she advises students and aspiring writers to read and write as much as possible, and always be observant. “Be open to the world as much as possible,” she said. “[Writers] tend to be aware of the details of the world in ways that other people may not. We engage the world in our senses, so have an open mind.”

I wasn’t able to write about her for a long time. But this poem is kind of like a recording of that dream and my own interpretation of it.” Gusman said she is driven by word play and this connection to dreams. “The thing with the dream… is that when you’re in the dream, you feel like it’s real.

It’s like pushing the edges of reality,” Gusman said. “I feel that dreams are probably a way that we kind of try and digest and understand our life experiences. … All these weird things started happening to me that were just linkages, and I don’t really feel like they weren’t unconnected experiences. So the feeling that I wanted for this poem was that kind of feeling,” she continued.
Gusman’s poem ends with the words “We are full of everything.” She said to her, it “summed that whole idea of searching and not fi nding, and feeling real and feeling not real, and being connected to your blood in some sort of way.” Gusman has a chapbook, “One Petal Row,” out on Tinfish Press and a book-length manuscript in the works.

Opinions Insuring contraception: when religion restricts rights SHAYNA DIAMOND Contributing Writer
WWW.KALEO.ORG
If you’ve been watching the news, or even just the “Daily Show,” you know that contraception has become a hot topic in Washington. But despite the fact that hormonal birth control is taken solely by women and distributed by medical professionals (for various medical reasons), Congress has prevented both groups from participating in the debate. So who is discussing this? It’s male politicians and religious leaders, making sure they drive home the point that religion is the most important factor here. It started with the Health and Human Services Department’s ruling earlier this year that religiously affiliated institutions like universities and hospitals had to include contraception in their insurance coverage. Of course, this brought down ferocious protests from some religious leaders. In response, President Barack Obama compromised this policy by requiring insurance companies to pay for the coverage, instead of certain religious organizations. But this is apparently still against the religious leaders’ “moral consciences” because they find it reprehensible to use birth control – they want the policy removed entirely. Congress has taken women out of the debate in many ways, including an initial refusal to allow Sandra Fluke, a third-year law student, to speak in a meeting with the House Oversight Committee. Fluke openly

protested this situation, speaking of a friend whose insurance wouldn’t cover the prescription of hormonal contraception that she needed in order to stop the growth of cysts. Because of her lack of coverage, Fluke’s friend had to have an ovary removed. This is where I begin to take the matter personally. I managed to avoid ovarian cancer and/or other serious complications when my medical condition was caught early on and I was put on a regimen of hormonal contraception. I find it disgusting that this is considered a “choice,” rather than a “medical need,” by the same religious zealots who are willing to provide coverage for Viagra. But this is the part that worries me the most: How far is this going to spread before we realize that religious consciences can become incredibly dangerous when it comes to people’s rights? While religion needs to be respected, a person’s religious conscience should have no bearing on the rights of others. If it’s against your “moral conscience” to offer something medically necessary, what if your morals tell you not to supply any insurance at all to someone who doesn’t share your religious values? An individual’s morals should have no effect on the ability of others to obtain and maintain a quality life. If you don’t want to use contraception of any form, that’s your choice. If I want to, that’s my choice. And if I need to, that’s my right – whether or not my health care provider sees it as moral.

Playing the Trump card: letting endorsements matter R.J. BROWN Contributing Writer
CHRIS WARE/MCT
Donald Trump is everything that’s wrong with the American political system. Well, almost everything. It has nothing to do with his personality, how he’s accumulated his wealth, his political flip-flops or his general demeanor. Trump is a travesty for the sole reason that he matters. And, like it or not, he does. In early February, Trump – with his typical flair and knack for harnessing attention – announced his endorsement of Mitt Romney for the Republican presidential nomination. Gallup polls show that among registered Republicans, Romney had the support of between 24 percent and 31 percent of voters in the last week and a half of January 2012. Immediately following Trump’s Feb. 2 announcement, Romney enjoyed something in the range of a 2 percent increase, and Gallup now shows he has the support of 36 percent of GOP voters. It’s debatable how much of the jump could
be attributed to Trump. But there is no denying that his impact is very real. In December of last year, Trump told the United Kingdom’s Sunday Telegraph that he represented “the millions of Americans who wanted me to run [for president].” Back in April 2011, when Trump was considering running for the country’s highest office, he was actually tied for the lead among all possible Republican presidential nominees. After dwindling in the polls, Trump decided not to run, and the remaining contenders dutifully queued up for his support – each hoping to claim his “millions” as backers for their own causes. Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who did not seek Trump’s endorsement, noted that he was “the only candidate who didn’t kiss [Trump’s] ring.” I acknowledge that he is a factor to the presidential election, even an important one, but that doesn’t mean that I have to like it. Donald Trump is a man who has found immense financial success through business and entertainment. I appreciate that. He’s done
what most only dream of doing and he’s living a life most would probably consider too farfetched to even begin dreaming about it. But that should be the extent of Trump’s influence over our culture. Why do we allow an individual so blatantly lacking in a genuine opinion to opine on matters absolutely vital to our current and future success as a country? If a view – be it on abortion, gay marriage or the president’s effectiveness – is in vogue, you can be sure Trump will align himself with the side of the political aisle he happens to be courting at that particular moment. He lacks the personal integrity I would hope most of us would consider a prerequisite for a national leader. Trump doesn’t care who the next president is. All he cares about is that he helped the next president secure the presidency. For a man who allegedly leads millions, this is a frightening concept. Then again, maybe the problem isn’t so much that Trump matters. Maybe the real problem is that we, as voters, allow him to matter.

‘Bows look for some Vegas luck JEREMY NIT TA Staff Writer The regular season may be over, but for the Rainbow Wahine basketball team, the real work starts now. Hawai‘i (11-18, 6-8 Western Athletic Conference), earned the No. 6 seed in this week’s WAC Tournament. “For our team, we play every game like it’s our last game,” said senior team captain Breanna Arbuckle. “We don’t want our season to end, and we want to make sure it lasts as long as we can so we can continue playing with each other.” As the No. 6 seed, Hawai‘i has earned a date with No. 3 Louisiana Tech (15-14, 8-6) in the quarterfinals, which will be held this Wednesday at 10 a.m. HST in Las Vegas’ Orleans Arena. Despite the difference in seeding, the ’Bows defeated the
Lady Techsters twice this season – including once on the road. Regardless, the team knows it must play its best basketball of the season right now. “It’s clearly evident with our team that the clock is ticking,” said head coach Dana Takahara-Dias. “That doesn’t just mean out on the basketball court, but just being together.”
THE JOURNEY The Rainbow Wahine had a rough start to the season, losing their first seven games against tough competition. But the ’Bows feel it made them stronger. “Early on, when we played teams like Texas and DePaul, I think it really helped us,” said Arbuckle. “We know we want to play against the best. We earned that experience, and now we’re using
it to help us in our games now.” “Any time that you get to play the best of the best, it makes you a better team because you face competition above the rest,” said Takahara-Dias. “I really like the fact that throughout the season, we had a variety of opponents. … We are just excited to continue to play.” Since that difficult stretch, the team has improved as they continued to grow together. “This team has very special chemistry, and I think the four seniors have done a wonderful job,” said Takahara-Dias. “The urgency is there for the team, and they know that they will be together for a limited number of games. … We want to send out these seniors on a very successful note. And that means that this team has to play good basketball [at the WAC Tournament].”

The last dance: ‘Bows make final trip to WAC JOEY R AMIREZ Associate Sports Editor 1980. Jimmy Carter was president, Pac-Man had just been released and the U.S. hockey team beat the Soviet Union in the “Miracle on Ice.” It was also the fi rst year that the University of Hawai‘i men’s basketball team competed in the Western Athletic Conference. 33 years later, the Rainbow Warriors are now preparing for their last trip to the WAC Tournament. “You’d like to get that trophy on the last time you get a chance to,” said UH head coach Gib Arnold.
SEEKING REVENGE The Rainbow Warriors (15 15, 6 -8 WAC) have fallen to the No. 6 seed in this year’s tournament, which means they must face No. 3 Idaho (18 -12, 9 -5 WAC) in the first round. The game will take place this Thursday at 10 a.m. HST in Las Vegas. Early in the WAC season, the ’Bows defeated Idaho on the road 76 -70. However, both teams have changed since that matchup, as evidenced by the Vandals’ 82- 63 dismantling of UH at Stan Sheriff Center last Thursday. “We got to play them and that’s just that. They just came in our house [and] beat us,” junior forward Joston Thomas said. “It’s a good rematch for us.” Coach Arnold has also embraced his team’s first-round matchup. “I like that draw ’cause we just played them recently, so there’s not going to be a lot of on-floor stuff. So we can maybe rest a little bit,” said Arnold. “This time of year it’s about legs and heart. We got our heart back [in Saturday’s game against Utah State]. Just got to get our legs back.”
