Kapa artist offers hands-on class experience DEIRDRE R IPPE Contributing Writer
Where: Lyon Arboretum, 3860 Mānoa Rd. When: Feb. 11, 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Cost: $20. Class size limited; registration required. Class fee $20. Contact: Call 988-0456 to register.
Ka‘iulani de Silva, kapa artist for more than 20 years, will be teaching a course on kapa at Lyon Arboretum this coming weekend. Kapa is a type of cloth made by pounding the bast fibers (thin inner layer of bark) of the wauke, or paper mulberry tree. Afterward, patterns are pounded in, printed or dyed onto the kapa, which is then used for a multitude of purposes such as clothing, tapestries and blankets. Kapa is not unique to Hawai‘i – tapa and siapo are similar cloths made in Oceania – but methods such as fermenting the fibers, allowing them to be softer and easier to pound together smoothly, are found only here. Silva learned the art of making Hawaiian kapa from the mother of one of the students in her hula hālau. “It’s not only the process,” she said on learn-
ing the art form, “but the values you learn while you’re spending the hours pounding; for large sheets of kapa, it can take eight to 15 hours, or more.” Regarding her upcoming class, she explained that since it’s only three and a half hours long, students will be producing a smaller piece. “The size of [the] piece students can take home depends on how well they can pound,” she said. The class will give an overview of the history of kapa in Oceania, introduce related stories and illustrate the myriad uses of kapa before getting to the activity portion. “It’s a very hands-on class,” Silva said. After taking a tour of the garden where their supplies come from, students will engage in preparing the bast fibers, pounding them and printing designs on their fi nished pieces to take home. Silva said that if there is enough interest, more classes, such as kapa dyeing and long-term kapa projects, may be offered.

In celebration of Ka L eo’s 90th anniversar y, Hamilton Librar y’s bridge galler y currently features an exhibit that chronicles some of the most controversial moments in Ka L eo’s histor y. The exhibit will be in place until May 11. In conjunction with the anniversary exhibit, State Representative K. Mark Takai passed a resolution last Thursday honoring Ka Leo as a training ground for future journalists, as well as an important voice in the university community and the state. “I actually believe that ‌ Ka Leo serves as the voice of the students, an important voice because they represent people on campus that matter. And in fact, it’s Ka Leo that typically stands up for the student perspective against the administration,â€? he said. Takai was an editor for Ka Leo in the early ’90s, long before his career as a lawmaker. He spoke about being sued by Hawai‘i Government Employees Association and University of Hawai‘i Professional Assembly during his time as an editor, but he said he had no regrets about taking risks as a student journalist. “[Ka Leo was] one of the best [experiences] so far in my whole life. We brought together about 80 people, we worked hard for almost no pay... we ran daily. It was just a lot of hard work,â€? said Takai. The exhibit at Hamilton Librar y highlights a few other risky moments in Ka L eo’s histor y.
These include controversy over last year’s swimsuit issue, a display that maps historical instances of crime and sexual assault on campus, and a series of articles from a 1990 exchange between then student Joey Carter and UH professor Haunani-Kay Trask. The two had different perspectives on the use of the term “haole.� In addition, the exhibit features a documentar y by Shinichi Toyama about the production of Ka L eo, as well as sections on sports and free speech. The curator of the exhibit, Erica L enentine, included over 70 articles, letters, editorials and commentaries. Visitors are encouraged to tweet in responses to the displays.
Remarks State Representative Tom Brower: “The city cannot have a good government unless it has a good newspaper.� State Representative Gene Ward: “86 percent of us have read Ka Leo, because 86 percent of us [representatives] are graduates of the University of Hawai‘i. So it has had an impact on all of us.�

‘Raising flags’ about GMO’s EMI A IKO Associate News Editor As some Native Hawaiians and organic taro farmers continue to ďŹ ght genetically modiďŹ ed taro in the lab and ďŹ eld, agricultural activists have called for greater attention to the ongoing selection process for the new dean of the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources. Whoever becomes dean may occupy a key position in the future of agriculture in Hawai‘i. “ W hen I was growing up, C TA HR was a holy word in Moloka‘i. But today, C TA HR scares the people of Moloka‘i because ever ything that they were teaching us was all bulls- - -,â€? said longtime Moloka‘i activist Walter R itte in a panel discussion entitled “Monsanto in Hawai‘i,â€? which took place in mid Januar y at the Hawai‘inuiakea Center for Hawaiian Studies. Ritte, a Hawaiian sovereignty and anti-GMO activist, mentioned CTAHR’s relationship with Monsanto. “They [CTAHR] turned around and became an industrial entity. I think they are so stupid because without the connection with the people, I don’t know how they are going to survive.â€? Pointing out the relationship with the biotechnology company, the speakers shared the story of CTA HR’s attempt in 2003 to patent taro. C TA HR, in conjunction with the Hawai‘i Agriculture Research Center, began genetically engineering three varieties of taro. Ritte explained that for Hawaiians, kalo (taro) expresses the spiritual and physical well-being of their heritage, and also represents environmental, social and cultural values. “First they took our kingdom, then they took our land, and now they are taking our mana,â€? said Ritte, speaking of the 2003 struggle. “They are trying to patent it and they want to own it, and sell it right back to us. If this isn’t the ultimate insult, then I don’t know what is. Without resources, we have no culture.â€? Patenting of the plant would have required farmers who want to purchase breeding stock to pay a royalty to the university. C TA HR asserted that developing a disease -resistant taro plant was a concern for farmers and would help them avoid losses. But months of protesting and letter writing by some locals led CTAHR to drop its patent on taro by 2006. “That is what happens when research and science move forward vacuously,â€? said Dr. Trisha
Kehaulani Watson of Honua Consulting, who was involved in consulting CTAHR’s kalo patent. “On one hand, you have the scientiďŹ c community contribute to science and research, but so disconnected from the community,â€? Watson said. But Watson said she was shocked to see that scientists were just as emotionally committed to GMO research. “What I learned from the kalo controversy is that there is genuine crisis on natural resources. This [kalo] disease still exists today, which has a high percentage of kalo being wiped out. [Seeking a] patent for taro was very legitimate,â€? she said. “The university is the place that should be fostering hard dialogues about this issue,â€? said Watson. “When people are raising ags about GMOs globally, it is absolutely a wrong direction [for the university] to go to. I don’t want to judge whose university it is, but I think it is worth a conversation.â€?

Features The gray area of art JESSIE BRISTOW Contributing Writer China, Mexico and Ghana are three countries separated by thousands of miles with different people, terrains and cultures. But Maui artists Vincent Goudreau and Javier Martinez use art and ďŹ lm to link these places and show a previously untold story through an alternative vision called “Compositions in Departure.â€? On Feb. 9, the artists will be on the University of Hawai‘i at MÄ noa campus for a viewing of their newly completed project, along with their other works. “They are really important Hawai‘i-based artists that are totally under-recognized,â€? Jaimey Hamilton, an associate professor of art history at UH MÄ noa, said of Goudreau and Martinez. “I think
the students would really beneďŹ t from interfacing with them.â€? “Compositions in Departureâ€? is a film installation shot in these two artists’ unique style. Goudreau and Martinez first met at the California Institute of the Arts, where they were both exposed to experimental work and different types of mediums. “We both got into school as painters, but then soon branched off into film and video, as well as other mediums,â€? said Goudreau in an email interview, “We work independently as well as collaboratively in whatever medium best represents the concept – through installation, sculpture, drawing, painting, animation, sound, etc.â€? Traveling through China on a corporate project for three years, the two came up with the idea of
their ďŹ lm, created a piece of it and then realized they needed more. They made their way to a music compound in Ghana that belonged to their former teacher, Sulley Imoro. In the meantime, they got another commercial project in Mexico. The two ďŹ nally completed their new style of art, describing it as “the grey area between experimental documentary and video art.â€? Goudreau and Martinez continue to stay busy with solo projects. Goudreau is currently working on a series of paintings based on world currency design, and Martinez recently moved to San Francisco to start his own apparel design company. Along with this, they continue to work on other ďŹ lm collaborations. Goudreau said, “We are currently in production and fundraising for

‘Jus’ Us’ performance evokes legacy of the islands A NTON GLAMB Contributing Writer
“Jus’ Us,” a music and talk story presentation being given tonight by the Julian Yorong Rondalla Group, will present insight into what life was like a generation ago. “This event is to show an appreciation of what musicians must do for a living and the legacy of past Filipino musicians in Hawai‘i,” said Marvin Uehara, the organizer of the event. “Musicians might also gain some additional techniques.” The remaining members of the group will evoke the plantation period, foundations of the island’s economy and a melting pot for cultural exchange. The show will feature approximately 10 songs, about a third of which are Filipino, along with traditional Hawaiian and jazz standards. For a time, rondalla music was the island’s own hip-hop to the sock-hop move-

Originally formed in 1999, the rondalla group is down from five members to three. Still vibing in their 70s, Roland Aton, Joe Engbino and Julian Yorong stay true to rondalla roots while incorporating the sounds of their time. Jazz, kundiman, rock’n’roll and Hawaiian music permeate these performers’ technique as they play the aural history of their experience in the islands. VIRTUALERN/FLICKR

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
SOME T HINGS A RE BE T T ER L EF T UNS A ID. Let me begin by clarifying: I have never had to write or publish an article for a newspaper. I can’t begin to say I understand fully what it must be like. On Jan. 30, Ka Leo published an article called “That’s it. Period.” in the opinions section. It was an article about menstruation, it was written by a man and it was terrible. Not to imply that any article written about ladies’ “time of the month” is automatically
going to be bad if it’s written by a man, it’s just that this man in particular couldn’t help but be sexist and a little vacuous. I won’t mention the name of the man in question, who is listed as associate opinions editor, but I will say I have no idea how he managed to get a title at a college paper because he doesn’t seem to have passed high school lit class. The article was badly written, jumped all over the place,
was offensive and lacked a point. We all have to deal with people who don’t know what they’re talking about and people who say things that can annoy us. However, one of the nice things you’re supposed to be able to enjoy about the news is that there are other people checking your work to make sure these opinions at least follow some common sense and don’t make the author look dumb. So how exactly did Ka L eo end up publishing such a terrible article? SAR AH M ASONER Graduate Student, Comm. Sciences & Disorders

Recalibrating chemical reagents Rainbow Wahine softball recovering from injuries, lack of unity K EVIN FOX Staff Writer
“I’m going to be able to play, and I feel healthier than I have in two years,” said Majam. “I like to work hard, and getting cancer made me work even harder, knowing that I may not get to play tomorrow. I am very excited for this season and know that if I keep working hard, I’m capable of accomplishing a lot. I’m excited to see what happens.” Coolen will be depending on senior left-fielder Alex Aguirre, Ricketts, senior in-fielder Dara Pagaduan and fourth-year junior centerfielder Majam to lead his team this season.
Momentum is key in any sports team’s progress. Unfortunately for the Rainbow Wahine softball team, the momentum began to slow after WAC Freshman of the Year and ESPN and National Fastpitch Coaches Association AllAmerican Kelly Majam’s bout with thyroid cancer in 2010. After undergoing treatment, her body is cancer free, and the rest of the ’Bows are excited to get back into the swing of things. “ This year I think we’re just going to need to believe in ourselves more, not freak out whenever things go ROA D T O R E D E M P T I O N The Rainbow Wahine will open their seawrong, and just trust in each other as much as we trust in ourselves,” said senior pitcher Stephanie Ricketts.

My-oh-Miah! JOEY R AMIREZ Associate Sports Editor 2- 4: Hawai‘i’s record in its first six games of the season. 11-5: Hawai‘i’s record since senior point guard Miah Ostrowski joined the team in early December. Following his last game as a wide receiver on the Warrior football team, Ostrowski quickly dusted off his basketball uniform and took to the hardwood eight days later to contribute to Hawai‘i’s 74 - 61 victor y over UC Davis on Dec. 11. Despite the stat, Ostrowski remained humble. “It ’s really a team game,” Ostrowski said. “I’ve got to credit my players, and we go down as a team – we win as a team.” Ostrowski has made plays not only on the hardwood during his tenure at UH, but also on the gridiron. In the 2011 football season, he totaled 65 re ceptions for 687 yards and five touchdowns for the Warriors. “I take a lot of pride in playing football too,” said Ostrowski. “Being out there is like being in another family.” With the immense workload carried by Division I athletics these days, two-sport athletes have joined telegrams and VHS tapes on the list of things found nearly only in the past. However, despite his accomplishments in both sports, Ostrowski refused to let his success distract him from his task at hand. “I haven’t [had] time to really sit back and look back upon things or enjoy the seasons yet because I’m really into the next one,” said Ostrowski. “I’m sure when I’m done playing here and my career is done, I’ll be able to look back and have memories for life.”
Not only does Ostrowski hold the distinction of being a dedicated teammate in both football and basketball, he has also become a fan favorite among UH faithful. Because he grew up in ‘Aiea, many fans of Hawai‘i athletics have been there throughout Ostrowski’s career ever since his days at Punahou School. “I take a lot of pride in where I come from. Not a lot of players come out of the islands to play Division I basketball,” Ostrowski said. However, it is not only the UH fan base that praised its point guard. “He’s a calming inf luence, and he knows what I want. He knows how to win, and that’s something that’s pretty special,” h Rainbow Warrior head coach Arn n old no d said. saii d. d. Gib Ar Arnold
