MEAKALIA PREVICH-LIU Staf f Writer A study analyzing the effects of hula and how it may benefit breast cancer survivors is expected to begin this month.

According to hula study group members, Kryslin Nishibun, Morgan Liu, Dr. Lenora Loo and Dr. Erin Bantum, many studies have shown that exercise has both psychological and physical benefits for breast cancer survivors. Based on the American College of Sports Medicine’s recommendations, cancer survivors should engage in routine moderate physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week. Despite the benefits, estimates show that most cancer survivors are falling short of these recommendations.

“The goal of the study is to determine if hula can be an effective and enjoyable form of physical activity for breast cancer survivors to meet this recommendation,” the hula study group said in a statement. “We will measure the physiologic and psychological effects of increased physical activity through hula by evaluating circulating biomarkers and quality of life questionnaires measured at the start and end of the exercise program, respectively.”

Dr. Herbert Yu, director of the epidemiology program at the University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center and Dr. Clayton Chong, a community oncologist at Queen’s Medical Center (QMC) first formulated the idea of the study in the summer of 2012. Shortly

after, the contribution of both the psychological and biological aspects of the study were addressed by Bantum and Loo of the UH Cancer Center.

All four of the investigators taking part in the study hope to work toward helping survivors regain their health following treatment, to prevent breast cancer from returning and to improve overall quality of life.

“We live in a unique multicultural community and hula is a familiar form of cultural expression in dance,” the hula study group said

important role of exercise for breast cancer survivors.

This study is the product of a collaborative effort to address the importance of exercise for cancer sur vivors.

“All of the investigators have a specific interest that is captured in the study, so it was really the collaboration that launched it, with the HELA study as a backdrop,” Bantum said.

Paul Neves, kumu hula for Halau Ha‘a Kea O Kinohi, said that hula

Hula can help, that’s a given ... It is good for the psyche of the person and it can help with healing – to the extent of how much it helps depends on the cancer itself.

- PAUL NEVES, KUMU HULA in a statement. “We believe hula can benefit cancer survivors on multiple levels – hula requires aerobic activity, whole-body movement (engaging arms and shoulders) and concentration. Hula was also chosen for its long-standing history in Hawai‘i in the hopes that it will serve both as a gratifying mode of exercise and as a provider of social support.”

Research on hula’s use as a physical activity was conducted in a previous study by Dr. Todd Seto and Mele Look of Queen’s Medical Center and UH’s John A. Burns School of Medicine. It showed that hula was beneficial in the rehabilitation process for individuals with cardiovascular disease. These studies could demonstrate the

can help with the healing process in a variety of ways.

He said he recently had a student in his class who was a recovering breast cancer survivor.

“Hula can help, that’s a given,” Neves said. “It provides low impact aerobics, coordination between body and brain and it helps relax the body. It is good for the psyche of the person and it can help with healing – to the extent of how much it helps depends on the cancer itself.”

HUL A CL ASS PROGRESSION AND ELIGIBILIT Y The one-hour hula classes will take place at the University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center at Kaka‘ako two times per week for a period of

six months. Participants can expect classes to be taught at a moderate level of physical exertion under the instruction of Jean Serikawa and TeMoana Makolo.

“In addition, participants are encouraged to practice hula at home, in 15-minute increments four times per week,” noted the hula study group.

The hula study is still looking for eligible participants. Potential applicants need to be 21 years of age or older, female, a breast cancer survivor residing on O‘ahu and have completed primary treatment between six months and five years ago. They cannot be currently receiving radiation or chemotherapy and need to be exercising less than 60 minutes per week.

At the start of the study, participants will need to take height and weight measurements, along with blood samples. A coordinated questionnaire and $25 gift cards will be given at the beginning, six months later and 12 months after the original measure.

Not only will those who take part in the study be receiving free hula lessons, but also it is an opportunity for those who have had breast cancer to interact with others alike.

Sports Jay: only 12 to 13 athletes were affected in June from page one

PAIGE TAKEYA Senior Staff Writer One month after some athletes slept in locker rooms due to delay in stipends checks, the Athletic Department has a three-year plan to pay its athletes on time.

The Associated Press reported in early June that the stipend checks of at least 60 scholarship athletes were delayed nine days, for an approximate total of $92,000.

Unable to pay rent, seven football players were forced to sleep in their own locker room for days.

The real situation, according to athletics director Ben Jay, was a little different.

Jay said that of those 60 student-athletes, who were all enrolled in summer school, only about 12 or 13 students – who were living in or transitioning to rental units off-campus – were adversely affected by the delay.

Athletes from multiple sports, including football and basketball, were involved, but the department was able to fast-track the stipends within 72 hours, once they learned of the situation.

U N D E R S TA F F E D, OV E RWO R K E D Late stipends have long been an issue for student-athletes.

“They always receive them, it’s just the timeliness of it,” women’s basketball head coach Laura Beeman said. Her team saw a few late checks this summer, but avoided drastic consequences.

Still, she understands the potential severity of the problem.

“The biggest issue is the same as the football players had: Rent was due on the fi rst, and you don’t get your check till the fi fth,” she said.

Men’s basketball coach Gib Arnold affi rmed that he has had past players – particularly international students – who have also received their stipends late, though it was “nothing like what happened this summer.”

“There have been delays in the past that had not been addressed, and that was the reason why (Chancellor Tom Apple) and I called together this summit of all the different departments to work out what is a workable timetable,” Jay said.

According to director of ath-

letic media relations Derek Inouchi, Jay and Apple sat down with the campus’ Financial Aid Services and Disbursing & Payroll Office, as well as the athletic department’s Compliance Resource Center and Student Affairs units, to hammer out a three-year schedule that ensures each party will do their part to ensure that student-athletes get all their stipends on time.

Such coordination is essential, according to Jay, because understaffi ng is at the root of the late checks. It takes time for each department to fill out the necessary forms needed to cut a stipend – more time when there are fewer people working at each checkpoint.

“It’s processing time. The information that we needed to put together and get to Financial Aid … It took some time to get together, and Financial Aid needed more time.

Everybody’s short-staffed.”

“It’s acute – not only just in our department in athletics, but also in other departments around campus,” Jay said.

The plan goes into effect in the fall, but Jay says that any remaining

summer checks owed to studentathletes should come out on time.

Apple characterized the situation as the result of “a little bit of a lack of communication,” but he said that it was still unacceptable.

“We have procedures in place to make sure the checks can get out on time. It won’t happen again. It shouldn’t have happened.”

N C A A RU L E S In the aftermath of the initial report, many questioned why the department couldn’t do more to help the athletes. Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s Dave Reardon reported that football players were eating bagels and drifting around for days, trying to find somewhere to sleep.

But NCAA regulations prohibit coaches and officials from arranging housing for athletes, offering loans or even buying groceries for players.

Jay said that UH could have called the NCA A for an emergency waiver to accommodate the athletes, but since the issue was resolved swiftly, UH did not take any additional action.

Beeman said that if her team

had been in the same situation as the football players, there isn’t much she could have directly done other than appeal to Jay, whom she praises for his handling of the situation.

“Whenever you’re dealing with student-athlete welfare, there has to be common sense that prevails. I would never let one of my student-athlete’s welfare be in jeopardy – their safety, their health – but I would never do anything that could jeopardize my entire program when we can prepare ahead of time to come up with a solution,” Beeman said.

Arnold agreed with Beeman’s assessment.

“I’d probably be on that phone a lot, asking why they aren’t getting what they deserve. I think those guys work hard, they’re here to go to school, they’re here to play for UH – it shouldn’t happen.”

Despite this summer’s incident, Beeman is optimistic for the future.

“Maybe just bringing light to the situation has helped. We’ll see what happens in the fall, when you have the big issuance of checks coming. Hopefully it’ll be on time.”

New model follows brown water flow from Ala Wai Canal

ANDRES BLANCO / FLICKR

PONO SUGANUMA Contributing Writer Ocean enthusiasts will have more information about pollution levels in the Ala Wai Canal because of a new model developed by a team including some UH oceanographers.

Developed by a coalition of the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing

System (PacIOOS) and oceanographers from the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the Mānoa campus, this brown water movement model has helped south shores surfers learn about the water’s quality according to James Cave of “The Offsetter”, a local news blog.

A PacIOOS sensor in the Ala Wai

canal, Hawai‘i’s most polluted waterway, measures turbidity, or the amount of tiny solids in the water column. The information from the near shore sensor is input into the model every 20 minutes. The model, developed by UH Mānoa Associate Professor Brian Powell, forecasts where the turbid plume will flow.

Following a severe storm, turbidity levels will rise indicating that there is a brown water runoff. This runoff, also known as coastal runoff, can be composed of pollutants like sewage and other chemical contaminants, and can threaten the health of people who enter the water.

One source who paddles in the Ala Wai but didn’t want to be identified because of potential repercussions, said other paddlers are often unsure of what contaminants are in the water.

“Perhaps brown water tracking there would give people real accurate answers based on facts and data, that could be use to keep the paddlers safe and healthy,” the source said.

There are five near shore sensors deployed along Oahu’s southeastern shores stretching from the Ala Wai all the way to Hawai‘i Kai. UH scientific diver and PacIOOS Oceanographic Research Specialist Gordon Walker, who deployed the sensors, now maintains them along with Oceanographer Professor Margaret McManus.

“Along with the five near shore sensors here on O‘ahu, we have deployed six in other island locations: Majuro, Pohnpei, Saipan, Guam, Koror and Tutuila, and we have two more that we are about to deploy on Maui,” McManus said.

With its ability to track the exten-

sion of the brown water plume in almost real time using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), this system studies the water quality of highly visited areas like Ala Moana and Waikiki and can help beachgoers make decisions about where to go, Melissa Iwamoto, PacIOOS Outreach and Program Coordinator, said.

With the success of the PacIOOS Ala Wai Model, there are plans to expand its reach across the Pacific.

“The community response has been so positive that I think that the next step is to extend the model to other highly populated areas where we have near shore sensors,” McManus said.

The model is available free to the public at http://pacioos.org/focus/ modeling/roms_turb.php.

Opinions

TIEN AUSTIN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

FDA needs to modify its restriction on blood donation K RISTEN PAUL BONIFACIO Opinions Editor On July 11, a national gay blood drive took place that called for a change to the restriction that bars gay and bisexual men from donating blood. This event, organized by California resident and fi lmmaker Ryan James Yezak, called attention to an outdated regulation that needs modification.

NATIONAL GAY BLOOD DRIVE Honolulu was one of 50 states that participated in the event across the country. The local drive took place at the Blood Bank of Hawai‘i Young Street Donor Center, right next to the O‘ahu Community Correctional Center. This was the second year for the event, but this was the fi rst time that Honolulu participated.

Gay and bisexual men who took part in the event went to their local blood donation centers along with a straight friend to donate in their place. Along with the donors nametag, a short message was collected with each donation and send to the Food and Drug Administration. The message explained that the men are willing to contribute to the national blood supply, but are being denied

because of their sexual orientation.

According to Michael Golojuch, chair for the Honolulu Pride Organization and drive leader for the Honolulu gay blood drive, as many as 8 million donors could be added to the national blood suppy if the restriction was lifted.

ADVANCE S IN HIV RE SEARCH The restriction on gay and bisexual men was implimented by the FDA in 1983 when HIV was first identified in the United States. It was a time when the US was experiencing an epidemic and little was known about the deadly virus.

In the years since, there have been many advances in our understanding of HIV. There are numerous types of HIV tests available today that are better at detecting the presence of the virus than methods used decades ago.

Over-the-counter test kits have also been available since 2012 making detecting an HIV infection easier and more accessible to many people. Oral pills that have been shown to substantially reduce the risk of HIV are also available. These pills have been recommended by both the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A D D R E S S I N G T H E CO N C E RN S A C A L L F O R C H A N G E It is understandable that the FDA is cautious towards gay and bisexual men donating blood.

They are the largest group affected by HIV, according to the CDC. However, the restriction towards gay and bisexual men is completely constructed on their sexual orientation, not their sexual behavior.

Throughout the regulation, the FDA categorizes all gay and bisexual men as having high risk for HIV and other infections, regardless of their sexual behavior.

The FDA fails to recognize those who are in monogamous relationships, or those who do not engage in sexual activities at all.

In contrast, heterosexuals are allowed to donate even if they engage in risky sexual behaviors, such as having multiple sexual partners or interacting with people from ethnicities that are statistically likely to have a high risk for HIV. Furthermore, the reasoning that there is an open window where a person will test negative for HIV, even if they have already been infected is also an invalid reason for keeping gay and bisexual men from donating. Although it is a major concern, there are ways to ensure that gay and bisexual donors are HIV-free.

The FDA should follow in the footsteps of other countries that have loosened their restriction on gay and bisexual men. South Africa addressed the issue by replacing questions regaring maleto-male sexual interaction with questions assessing sexual behaviors. Canada, as well as the United Kingdom, have also removed their complete ban on gay men from donating blood, and instead have set up time-frame regulations.

Many reputable medical and health organizations in this country have also expressed their opposition for the FDA restriction.

The American Red Cross, America’s Blood Centers and the American Association of Blood Banks released a joint statement in support of the National Gay Blood Drive.

The American Medical Association has also voiced their opposition towards the ban, stating that it is “discriminatory and not based on sound science.”

Last year, more than 80 congressional lawmakers also asked the Obama administration to lift the ban on gay and bisexual men from donating blood. These politicians, as well as various organizations, have recognized the fl aw in the decades-old restriction.

Similar to the countries that have allowed gay men to donate, the FDA could instead set up timeframes that allow gay and bisexual men to donate after a certain period of time. In their statement to the FDA, the American Association of Blood Banks has suggested that the lifetime restriction be changed to a 12-month period to ensure gay and bisexual donors test HIV-free.

The fear of HIV transmission through blood donation is extremely low today as prevention and detection have gotten better. The FDA is not being pressured into completely lifting the ban, but into simply changing it.

Willing and healthy donors are currently not able to contribute because they are categorized for their sexual orientation.

Simply being gay or bisexual does not put a person at a high risk for HIV; but factors such as sexual behavior play an important. Therefore, the FDA should change their restriction to focus on the sexual behaviors of potential donors.

Given the constant shortage of blood donors, the contributions of gay and bisexual men will have profound impact. The national gay blood drive successfully highlighted this opportunity. The FDA should take notice and change.
