“Hawai‘i Five-0” not HPD reality EMI A IKO News Editor A series of break-ins that resulted in stolen computers at Bilger Hall and the Financial Aid Services office occurred early last week, and the Honolulu Police Department and Campus Security are still looking for suspects. One break-in occurred on the second and third floors of Bilger Hall over the Memorial Day weekend, followed by a break-in at Queen Lili‘uokalani Center for Student Services Financial Aid Services office on Tuesday, May 29. It is unknown whether the two cases are connected or whether there are any links to other burglaries that have occurred over the last month. The total estimate of damages from the two break-ins is still under investigation.

NO MONEY MISSING Two iMac computers and a laptop were stolen from Bilger Hall. According to Campus Security Captain Donald Dawson, the owner said one of the iMacs was brand new, and he had just taken it out of the box, but the laptop was old and he had been thinking about getting rid of it. “The door has a glass panel on the third floor, which was physically broken. On the second floor, the burglars [broke] the door open using some kind of tool,” said Dawson. On the May 29 incident, a web surveillance camera was set up at the entrance of QLC’s Financial Aid office, and the burglars took only the computer that was connected to this camera. Dawson said this camera is not wireless and records its data directly on the attached hard drive, so surveillance pictures were only available through this computer.

Dawson said that the door to QLC’s Financial Aid office room was not broken, so either the door was open to begin with, or burglars had access to the key. There were signs that someone attempted to open the cabinets inside the room, but was not successful in opening any of them.
X ABSTAIN FROM TRUTH?
UNCLEAR MOTIVES “They totally changed the landscape,” said Dawson, who compared this case to the athletic complex office burglary that happened on the weekend of May 19. “Looking at the method and what they stole, it seems like there is no connection with recent incidents.” “We are not too sure why they ended up at the Financial Aid department where there is no money,” continued Dawson. “But for the athletic complex incident, they knew where the money was.”

NIK SEU/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
A SHLEY WOOD Staff Writer Thanks to characters like Steve McGarrett and Thomas Magnum on crime-drama TV shows, Hawai‘i has become one of television’s popular beats for cops. The Honolulu Police Department’s representation in pop culture has given audiences a glimpse of the other side of paradise, but in reality, those in the line of duty are subjected to dangerous work conditions that lack the entertainment appeal police dramas offer.
NOT ALL GLAMOUR AND GLORY “Being a police officer is a stressful job,” said Officer Raynette Ho. “I think it makes you more aware of your surroundings and keeps you on high alert, because you never know what kind of situation you’ll find yourself in.” Ho has worked at HPD for seven years on patrol duty. Throughout her profession, safety has always been an issue. “You constantly have to keep your guard up,” she said. “I can be talking and listening to a person, but I’m also looking around and surveying the whole room.” The nature of her profession inclines her to be “on her toes.” In recent years, Ho has been assigned to the Kalihi Police Station. In her time
working in the district, Ho has been called to scenes of domestic violence to situations she calls “ridiculous.” “Here, we get called for everything,” Ho said. “[From] parking complaints to something like a bag of trash in the road, they want us to go over there and move it to the side.”
B O O K I N G ʻ E M T O O FA S T ?
Entertainment value is important for these hyper-stylized television shows that rely on audiences to tune in every week. Most cases are wrapped up within an hour-long time frame. One of the popular trends in law enforcement shows is science-based procedures that involve the use of forensics to catch the bad guys. With the resurgence of the show “Hawai‘i Five-0,” crime in the islands has been put to the forefront, with Hawai‘i’s natural beauty as a backdrop. However, Ho says that some of the situations, high-tech gadgets and techniques seen on the show seem a little far-fetched. “It’s kinda bogus,” Ho said. “Some of the storylines are unbelievable, and the way they solve things is similar to watching ‘CSI.’” To read about HPD’s link with CrimeStoppers, go to kaleo.org

AUSTIN KIMAMURA/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
JESSICA SCHULTZ Staff Writer Beach erosion is a major problem on coastlines around the world, and here in Hawai‘i, the effects are both economically and aesthetically visible. As the population on the island rises, the surrounding ocean rises as well. Construction and development near the shoreline may bring in tourist money, but concrete buildings and walls quicken the erosion process as waves pull the sand out to sea. If Hawai‘i loses its beaches, it may also lose its multi-billiondollar tourist industry which supports over 60 percent of Hawai‘i’s jobs and 75 percent of income. Although beach erosion is a long-term process that we could currently be working on preventing, until the Kamehameha Highway falls into the sea or Waikīkī has to be heightened, people seem intent on being unbothered. But the reality is that we need to put forth an effort to coexist with the environment.
E RO S I O N N E A R YO U Studies conducted by the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa and the U.S. Geological Survey
report that 70 percent of beaches on Kaua‘i, O‘ahu and Maui are undergoing long-term erosion. They note that all three islands are experiencing high rates of erosion, with Maui leading at 85 percent erosion, followed by Kaua‘i and O‘ahu at 71 and 60 percent, respectively. Of the beaches eroding, the most extreme case was near Kualoa Point on O‘ahu, which is losing nearly six feet per year. But even areas like Waikīkī are losing one to two feet of shoreline per year.
KEEPING OUR BEACHES Is there a solution? Although we already lose large amounts of beach every year to erosion, rising sea levels make it an even more serious issue. Erosion is easiest to prevent through building to protect land as much as property. The sea walls constructed to keep the water away from residences and places of business (as in Waikīkī) are only contributing to the erosion process. Building seawalls to protect property only accelerates the loss of beach due to storms, wind, tsunami, sea level rises and large waves over-topping the shore. The National Oceanic Atmospheric Association’s Offi ce
of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management offer suggestions and programs for purposes such as protecting natural resources and managing development in highly hazardous areas. On June 1, a replenishment project in Waikīkī that involved dumping 40 feet of sand onto the beach was finished. The sand was moved to create a recreational area for swimming and to try and minimize erosion. The thousands of cubic feet of sand necessary to accomplish this project is visible proof of how strongly beach erosion is affecting our shorelines. Islands and coastlines all over the world are affected by erosion, and unless something is done and we are more cautious in our coastal zoning and development, the issue will not go away. The issue may not be readily visible to our eyes, but research has proven that there is a problem. We cannot ignore it for very much longer without consequence. Should we continue to do nothing, there is a bright side: if you live near McKinley High School, the Blaisdell Center, ‘Iolani School or the Old Stadium Park in Mō‘ili‘ili, you’ll have oceanfront property around the year 2100.

In April, Tennessee lawmakers introduced Senate Bill 3310, which barred “gateway sexual activity.” The bill was signed into law despite controversy over its potential ambiguity. SAR AH NEAL Staff Writer

The children of Tennessee will be exposed to a revamped abstinence-only education curriculum that takes the existing program to a new level of absurdity. The state recently passed a law that bars any curriculum that “promote[s], implicitly or explicitly, any gateway sexual activity or health message that encourages students to experiment with noncoital sexual activity.” Proponents of the bill insist that it doesn’t ban discussion of kissing or hand-holding, but the broad language could enable hard-lined social conservatives to ban discussions of such sinister “gateway” activities as these. Educators will likely err on the side of caution with the $500 penalty for violations. What better way to promote a sexless lifestyle than to proscribe even the mention of any
such “gateway” sexual activities? In the world of social conservatism, this law makes perfect sense. However, in a nation where roughly 35 percent of high school students identify as sexually active, this law and abstinence-only education in general is ridiculous.
INEFFECTIVE AND EXPENSIVE Evidence suggests that abstinence-only education can only slightly delay the onset of sexual activity in teens. A 2011 study by the University of Georgia Research Foundation found evidence that states promoting abstinenceonly curricula consistently have a higher rate of teenage pregnancy than those that offer comprehensive sexual education. Following this pattern, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found in a 2010 study that states that mandate abstinence-only have higher sexually transmitted infection rates than
those with comprehensive sexual education. Additionally, these programs are costly. From 1998-2008, the federal government has funneled more than $1.5 billion into programs such as the Adolescent Family Life Act, CommunityBased Abstinence Educations, and additional grants for abstinence-only education afforded by the 1996 welfare reform. President Obama defunded abstinence-only education in 2009, but Republican negotiations on the Affordable Care Act forced the inclusion of a provision allocating up to $50 million a year to these programs, and an additional $5 million was added in 2011 to the 2012 appropriations bill.

Opinions Hawai‘i sex-ed is mixed bag from page 4
programs serve to encourage harmful, sex-negative worldviews in America’s young people. For example, the Heritage Keepers group, an abstinence-only program endorsed by the Obama administration, repeatedly insists on its website and during workshops that sex is only safe if the partners are bound by marriage. The program encourages students to envision their virginal wedding nights, implying that non-virgin brides and grooms will not have special nights, as well as completely ignoring LGBT high school students. Other federally funded groups are even worse: The Center for Relationship Education (TCRE), formerly Why Am I Tempted (WAIT), actively spreads misinformation about conception. In a recorded training seminar, WAIT representative Shelly Donahue announces that women are so fertile that their vaginas will turn into a “little Hoover vacuum” cleaner and suck up any sperm anywhere near their genitals. She also crudely illustrated how women become “impure” when they sleep with more than one man by affi xing tape to a young man, pulling it off and showing how parts of the boy have stuck to the tape. She also insisted that men are able to go unharmed by having multiple sex partners, while women suffer.
... Hawai‘i schools are prohibited from distributing condoms or other birth control methods to students. S E X UA L E D U C AT I O N I N H AWA Iʻ I Hawai‘i does not mandate sexual education in its schools, but schools choosing to include such topics in their curricula are required to promote abstinence while also offering education on contraception and STI prevention. In contrast to the state’s fairly progressive approach to sexual education, Hawai‘i schools are prohibited from distributing condoms or other birth control methods to students. This is problematic since Hawai‘i, according to Advocates for Youth, “ranks 47th in availability for reproductive and sexual health care services” and “ranks lowest in public funding for reproductive and contraceptive services.” This could be negating the benefi cial sex-ed programs offered, resulting in low condom usage and a higher than average teen pregnancy rate (although the live birth rate is lower than the nation’s average). Sexual education that includes information on topics other than abstinence is helpful, but not enough on its own to improve the sexual health of American teenagers. The United States should consider an overhaul of its sexual education policies in favor of those that distance themselves from the harmful methods employed by abstinence-only education, and should also reevaluate its role in ensuring access to reproductive care for American high school students.
