NAOMI LUGO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The Dean Hall break-in appears to be part of a string of iMac burglaries.

EMI A IKO News Editor The Honolulu Police Department and Campus Security are looking into a multi-room break-in at Dean Hall that happened late on June 26.

According to CS, faculty discovered a broken glass window upon arrival to work on the morning of June 27. Burglars used some type of pointed instrument to break open the windows on several doors to gain access to the rooms and stole three iMacs after breaking into a suite of offices in Dean Hall.

“Looking at the pattern of the glass, it looks round and four inches across, but it didn’t shatter the whole window and it was focused,” said Wayne Ogino, chief of CS. All of the stolen iMacs were the 27-inch desktop model, each worth approximately $3,000, according to Ogino.

“At fi rst, we thought that people were able to look into the glass of the door and see the computers. But now it seems more like they are scoping out their targets ahead of time, [they] know that iMac computers are located there, and then [they] willingly [take] the risk to break in at night to steal those computers,” said Ogino.

A R E C U R R I N G PAT T E R N This incident is very similar to the break-ins that occurred at Bilger Hall last month, where intruders also stole iMacs in overnight burglaries.

But Ogino said that the Bilger incidents have additional evidence to consider.

“In those cases, the person who tried to reach into the door got cut and left blood behind. The police have taken samples to check in and see,” said Ogino. “So we do have some physical evidence from some of the crime scenes.”

NOT OUT OF THE ORDINARY?

Ogino pointed out that the UH Mānoa campus has had a longterm average of about 50 burglaries per year (roughly one every seven days), but this is low compared to the Mānoa area overall.

Security is being increased and tightened to watch and identify people on campus at night. CS was successful in detaining suspects and issuing 11 trespasses since the beginning of June.

“It is somewhat dangerous, because this person appears to be carrying a tool and seems to be very compulsive,” Ogino said.

“If anybody confronts a situation like this, we want you to call Campus Security right away, and we will also alert the police because the suspect may be desperate and potentially dangerous.”

Watanabe returns to his alma mater this Tuesday as part of an “Elements of Film/Video Production” workshop series.

“Over the years, I’ve stockpiled a ton of screenwriting information and tips that I would love to share,” Watanabe said. “I plan to overview concept, character, structure, craft and talk about my own script-to-screen journey.”

Watanabe says that his workshop will be helpful for anyone interested in learning about the screenwriting process – from seasoned directors to even industr y newcomers.

His advice to student screenwriters: “Watching movies is easy, but read a lot of screenplays too. Get used to the format, structure and style. Then write.

Keep writing and develop your voice. Also, go out and live a little. These are the years where you need to find your unique point of view. That unique voice is what’s going to get people excited about your writing.”

e

A n O‘ahu native and Punahou graduate, Watanabe earned a marketing degree from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa “before kids regularly used sunscreen,” he joked. He studied copywriting at the Academy of A rt University in San Francisco, which eventually led to a day job with Honolulu’s oldest advertising agency, M V NP. “A lot of copywriters [become] screenwriters, including Lawrence Kasdan (“Raiders of the L ost A rk”) and John Hughes (“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off ”) …

I started reading scripts on the side during the 90’s,” he said in an email interview.

Watanabe did not start screenwriting until he lost his advertising job in San Francisco. “ The initial idea of [‘ The Rogues Galler y’] came from the uncertainty, anxiety and chaos of getting laid off. I thought: what if spies were getting downsized? Once that big concept came to me, it only took me two months or so to write.”

AN UNSCRIPTED BEGINNING

E x c l us

Many screenwriters hope that their first screenplay will become a movie. Hawai‘i screenwriter Brian Watanabe had this dream become reality when his first screenplay, “ The Rogues Gallery,” was produced into the 2010 film “Operation: Endgame,” starring Maggie Q (“Nikita”) and Zach Galifianakis (“ The Hangover”).

Now, Watanabe will be sharing his experiences and stories by hosting a workshop as part of the UH Outreach College’s Pacific New Media program on July 10.

creative writing, he joined a writing group and purchased screenwriting books with his unemployment checks. His first screenplay contest was the HBO reality series “Project Greenlight.”

“For first-time screenwriters, I highly recommend entering contests,” Watanabe said. “ They help validate your work, will help your script get read, and you could win a little bit of money – which is nice when you’re living off Top Ramen.”

Watanabe was a fi nalist in Scriptapalooza, Screenplay Shootout, and he tied for best comedy at Screenwriting Expo 3. The contests not only got his screenplay produced but found him other jobs: Watanabe soon was developing scripts with production companies from Fox and Sony.

felt as she sat in a voting booth postpassage of the Nineteenth Amendment. It’s what Martin Luther King, Jr. felt as he stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. It’s what presidents have felt, from Washington to Kennedy, Reagan to Obama, when the nation entrusted them with the highest office in the land.

Pride is earned.

Despite the still very present core of morality, generosity, determination and drive that have produced some of our most celebrated citizens, our culture has taken a different turn as of late. We want more for less: more wealth, more satisfaction and more recognition.

Pride is something we have come to expect as an inherent right. This is a farce.

We are entitled to nothing more than the opportunity to earn our satisfaction, to seek it out and grasp it. We are entitled to success and failure, each outcome tethered to our attitude, ethic and individual ability to overcome circumstance.

On days like the Fourth of July, I’ve had the tendency to associate Americana with feelings of elated patriotism. I’ve allowed myself the benefits of the emotion without any substantial effort to help this country grow, succeed, or meet the demands of an ever-competitive and increasingly complex future.

But this can change. If not today, tomorrow; if not tomorrow, the next day. Let’s demand our own satisfaction. Whether it’s service in the military, opening a business, volunteering in a homeless shelter, cleaning up a beach, running for local office, devoting time to a campaign or helping the judiciary, there are countless ways we can attempt to emulate the efforts of Jefferson, Catt, King and our presidents.

The holiday only has meaning if we continue to deserve the promises within the Declaration of Independence. Let’s begin anew and earn our pride in our country.

E x c l us

lieve this is the feeling we attempt to convey when we boast of pride in our country. Yet, to me, this rings hollow as a compliment without individual and continued efforts to bring about our own pride.

Pride, as I understand it, is the product of struggle and effort. It is not something obtained through the mundane or even through the conquest of the relatively difficult.

Instead, I imagine it’s the feeling that washed through Jefferson when he lifted that final draft of the Declaration. It’s what Carrie Chapman Catt

On the Fourth of July, politicians and pundits proffer their obligatory remarks to the waiting public. They exclaim their pride in red, white and blue. And while I express similar sentiments, I wonder if we’ve missed the mark on what having pride in our country really means.

Two hundred and thirty-six years ago, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. Primarily penned by the

future third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration dissolved all political ties from Great Britain and laid out the ideals and beliefs that would bind the birth of a nation to its future citizens. The document is the essence of what our country was founded on, the seed of thought that would later ripen into our Constitution, our way of life.

It makes me proud.

Or does it?

I don’t dispute that one may obtain pride through association with something great, and I do be-

After playing one season of baseball at Southern Utah University, Waipahu native Alaka‘i Aglipay returned to Hawai‘i under diffi cult circumstances.

“My dad’s health was slowing down – his heart – so it was a no-brainer; I had to help the family and help with my siblings,” Aglipay said. “I came home and figured just continue [my college] credits at UH. “He’s doing better – recovering.”

But although Aglipay, a 2010 graduate of Punahou, transferred to UH following his freshman year in 2011, he wasn’t able to play this past spring. “[During] my freshman year, I injured my arm. I didn’t find out it was a partial tear in my labrum until I came back home, because it was still bothering me and it was the longest I’ve ever been out with an arm injury. So I went to go check it out, [and] it turns out I had a partial tear,” Aglipay said. “I’ve been just rehabbing all spring, so it was more of a ‘just learn as much as you could while you’re sitting out.’

“It was a different experience because it was the fi rst time I ever sat out during a baseball season.”

A ʻL I T T L E ʼ R E C O G N I T I O N The name ‘Alaka‘i Aglipay’ has a ring of recognition for many island residents and even baseball fans across the world. Aglipay was part of Waipi‘o’s 2005 Little League World Series Championship team.

Aglipay’s teammate was current ‘Bow and 2011 St. Louis High School graduate Kaeo Aliviado.

“Once in a great while when they fi nd out – because usually I don’t talk about it – so when they fi nd out, then they are like, ‘Oh you were on the World Series [team],’ then we talk about it so it’s pretty good,” Aglipay said.

AC T I O N OV E R S U M M E R Though he is not currently on Hawai‘i’s roster, Aglipay hopes to walk-on for the ‘Bows this year.

And to prepare, Aglipay is participating in the Hawai‘i Collegiate Baseball League over the summer.

“I’ve been out of the game since my freshman year, so I just wanted to come back and play and just see how it goes,” Aglipay said.

Aglipay is the only player in the four-team league with UH ties, though he doesn’t find it surprising that more Rainbow players don’t play in the league.

“People who play in Hawai‘i, over the summer they want to get out and leave and try and experience somewhere else in summer ball.”

A long with the Hawai‘i Collegiate Baseball L eague, players who want to stay in Hawai‘i over the summer have a choice between two other groups – the Hawai‘i Island Movers team and the Paradise A ll-Stars.

“I know there’s a lot of leagues everywhere on the mainland,” Aglipay said. “ Those are the three only ones in Hawai‘i.”

B U S Y ʻB OW S Year-to-year, the most competitive summer league is the Cape Cod L eague on the east coast. Hawai‘i’s highest pick in this year’s MLB draft, Matt Sisto, was an alumnus of the league, as was 2011 first-round draft pick Kolten Wong.

This season, two Rainbows are playing in the Cape Cod L eague. Shortstop Pi‘ikea K itamura (Kamehameha-Kapalama ’09) and pitcher Jarrett A rakawa (Iolani ’10) are playing on the Orleans Firebirds.

“I played against them in high school. I see them a lot actually,” Aglipay said. “I see Jarrett always on campus. I see Pi‘ikea working out. I’ve known them for a long time already.”

MARC ARAKAKI / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

After sitting out for a season, Alaka‘i Aglipay hopes to walk-on the Rainbow baseball team this upcoming season.
