COVER STORY

Big Island sustainability in small-scale fisheries A UH study empowers a community to practice sustainable stewardship MASON HIGA STAFF WRITER

Small-scale reef fisheries provide much more than paychecks for their communities, according to a study led by the Kīholo Bay community and supported by researchers at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.

In addition to determining that the Kīholo Bay fishery produced over 30,000 meals per year, with an economic value of over $78,000, the study found that 58 percent of the total catch was kept by the fishers, 33.5 percent was given away to friends and family, and only 8.5 percent was sold on the market. The fishery also proved to be culturally important, with 20 percent of the catch used for pā‘ ina, or cultural events. “[The fishery] has a huge role in creating a “sense of place” through practicing family traditions and, for Native Hawaiians, their cultural rights,” said Hal Koike, a graduate student from UH’s department of biology.

With over 90 percent of the catch staying within the community, the researchers concluded that the fishery helped feed local families, provided opportunities for fishers to earn a living, and allowed the local community to continue to practice cultural events.

LOCALS TAKE THE LEAD

One objective of the project was to empower the community to take the lead and better manage their own resources, according to Koike. Hui Aloha Kīholo, a commu-

rated with Conservation International and The Nature Conservancy to determine what fish were in the water, how the fish were caught, where the fish went to, and how the fish were used. The comprehensive approach that followed the fish from reef to table gave the researchers new insight into why healthy ecosystems are important for local communities, according to Alan Friedlander of UH’s biology department.

The study also noted that the rate of overfishing and potentially illegal fishing appeared to decline with the presence of community members surveying the reef, based on the observations that the surveyors took.

“I think the community felt much more empowered being involved in this and having a say and a better understanding … of the resources in Kīholo,” said Kirsten Oleson, an assistant professor from UH’s Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management.

The knowledge of sustainable fishing practices and the local cycles of the fishes’ population and reproduction in Kīholo have been passed down through the generations. Combined with the community’s interest in sustaining the populations of fishes for the future, the community’s knowledge makes the community the best stewards for their resources, according to Friedlander.

nity group devoted to responsible stewardship, completed the monitoring and data collection, while the researchers came up with the methods of the study.

“Working with an active community such as Hui Aloha Kīholo is critical because you need someone on the ground with deep knowledge of the area and fish to survey and collect [this] information,” Koike said. “We were very fortunate to have someone perfect for that from Hui Aloha Kīholo.”

The researchers also collabo-

smaller ones tend to hire more people and keep the catch in the local community, according to Koike.

Place-based management, such as the one at Kīholo Bay, allows for policies to adapt to local conditions, Oleson said. The community can also change policies in order to meet their needs and behaviors.

In contrast, large-scale fisheries employ fewer people and the local community gets less of the profits. In addition, the efficiency of large-scale fishing gear often leads to overfishing. The fishing gear

itself is often destructive to the environment as well. This makes large-scale commercial fisheries unsustainable for nearshore fisheries such as Kīholo Bay, according to Friedlander.

While there are benefits to using small-scale policies, Oleson added that having centralized oversight is also important to connect fisheries to one another.

“Fish go from bay to bay, [and] people go from place to place,” Oleson said. “So, we also have to have a systemwide view when we think about resource management.”

UNITING TRADITIONS WITH SCIENCE

The researchers also had the opportunity to learn from the community members during the study.

Friedlander said the researchers originally planned on using a random statistical design when assessing the fishery. However, the community members pointed out how lunar cycles affect fishing and worked with the researchers to improve the researcher’s survey based on this knowledge. “[We] can learn valuable lessons about natural resources from customary and local knowledge, and the nexus of traditional and western science can increase our ability to better manage these resources that means so much to so many,” Friedlander said. “This study shows

the importance of working with communities and the wealth of knowledge that they possess.”

GETTING RESEARCHERS ONBOARD

Oleson studied coastal fisheries in Madagascar before coming to Hawai‘ i. Finding how people are really connected to their fisheries, she wanted to further study how best to manage and sustain marine resources. Friedlander, who has worked for over three decades with local fishing communities in the Pacific, wanted to carry out a study that would go into great detail on how marine resources have great importance.

Hawai‘i currently has limited information on small-scale fisheries, such as the one in Kīholo Bay, Koike said. The type of survey that the researchers conducted, which is known as a creel survey, gives information about the catch, the gear used, and the fishing effort. Koike deemed the survey as one of the few methods that gives information detailed enough for management.

“When they told me that we could work with communities that share the same vision as mine to gather information of a near-shore fishery, I couldn’t say no,” Koike said.

Two programs aimed T i d tto h help l enterpreneurs win $50,000

DANIEL MURATA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The Small Business Administration (SBA) launched the competition in 2014 with the intention to assist organizations whose goal is to help start-up companies.

Two University of Hawai‘i programs, The Maui Food Innovation Center (MFIC) and XLR8UH, were among the 80 winners of the Growth Accelerator Award.

“Through the wide-spread outreach of this competition, we are able to reach entrepreneurial ecosystems across the country,” Maria Contreras-Sweet, SBA Administrator, said in a press release. “My commitment is to make our resources available to 21st century entrepreneurs where they are, and these accelerators, also known as incubators and innovation hubs, are the

gathering place for today’s innovators and disruptors.”

Vassilis Syrmos, UH vice president for research and innovation, said there are plans to create more accelerators at UH Hilo. Partnerships with Kamehameha Schools for joint accelerator programs at Kapi‘olani Community College and Windward Community College are also being considered.

XLR8UH

Hawai‘i’s first proof of concept center, XLR8UH’s goal is to invest in innovative ideas and provide budding entrepreneurs with the opportunity to make their idea marketable.

email interview. “When completed, this facility will promote research and development of new food products, food testing, nutritional analysis, and labeling, and other equipment and services needed for the food industry.”

As a winner of the competition, MFIC will use the $50,000 to support the Maui Accelerator Program (MAP), a program that targets women and minority-owned enterprises.

Based at the University of Hawai‘i Maui College, The Maui Food Innovation Center provides guidance to food and agricultural entrepreneurs in Hawai‘ i.

Starting off as a food production facility in a former kitchen on campus, UH Maui College has since received funding from the U.S. Department of Labor Trade Adjustment Act grant, which allowed for educational and training courses in food manufacturing.

State Legislature later provided $2.7 million to renovate the facility.

While Syrmos said the goal of UH accelerators is to inspire entrepreneurship and help those involved in potential marketable projects, there are still some holes in the process.

He said establishing a “training and mentoring program” would help faculty and student entrepreneurs to take the first step toward their goals.

He hopes that in the future every student will get the opportunity

commitment, team and the marketability of their concept.

Since launching in 2014, XLR8UH has funded projects such as FlyWire Cameras, the world’s smallest line of sight HD wearable camera and MeetingSift, an online platform that allows leaders to plan and run meetings through their smart devices.

XLR8UH Managing Partner Omar Sultan said the program was happy to have gained attention for the work it had done.

“We were overjoyed. Obviously, we put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this, as has the university, so it’s awesome to get that national recognition for this,” Sultan said in a phone interview. “It’s wonderful, it’s a great validation [that] what we’re doing is unique, is putting us into the top tier university accelerator program, [and] accelerator programs in general across the nation.”

While students, faculty and alumni are able to apply to XLR8UH, Sultan said applicants are accepted based on the individual’s drive,

Increased library hours?

Graduate Student Organization proposes more hours, hopes ASUH will follow suit

COURTNEY TEAGUE NEWS EDITOR

Library hours in future summers could be increased, thanks to a resolution proposed by the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Graduate Student Organization (GSO).

GSO President Jonathan Dial said that, ideally, summer hours would be both increased and shifted to times that students tend to be more available. Still, he felt an acceptable compromise would be to at least shift the current list of hours to ones that are more accommodating to students and adding Saturday as an option.

“By keeping students from being able to do the research that they need to do when they’re able to do it, it’s contrary to the academic mission [of the university],” Dial said.

Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (ASUH) President Kelly Zakimi said the senate has not taken an official stance, but will review the GSO resolution in upcoming weeks to decide if they will vote internally.

Imai Chock, a UH Mānoa senior and employee of the Sinclair Library, said she struggled to find a place to study after working until the library’s 6 p.m. summer closing time and felt students would benefit from increased library hours.

to 6 p.m., according to a GSO resolution. If UH Mānoa were to shift hours, GSO would like to see those change to 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. If more hours were to be added, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. “would be ideal,” Dial said.

BENEFITTING STUDENTS

The issue of increasing summer hours was initially raised to Dial by another student, not a member of GSO’s executive council, who had grown frustrated with the library’s

When I’ve taught [in the summer], I’ve seen a number of students during the summer scrambling to get all their work done.

– BRET POLOPOLUS-MEREDITH GSO EMPLOYMENT AND COMPENSATION CHAIRMAN

REACHING A CONSENSUS

Dial and Bret Polopolus-Meredith, GSO’s employment and compensation chairman, said the resolution about summer hours was passed unanimously amongst an estimated 60 GSO representatives, who also consulted their peers.

Both libraries on campus are open summer weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from noon

Additionally, the organization would like weekend hours to be adjusted accordingly on both Saturday, which is currently off limits on the summer schedule, and Sunday.

GSO hopes to start making progress in a month or so, when UH administrators and GSO members have more open schedules.

schedule.

Dial said many graduate students have heavier commitments during the year, which causes them to put their personal research on hold until the summer months and the libraries are a major source of information for their independent studies.

“Because of the way the library hours are set up, they’re unable to

do that,” Dial said.

“When I’ve taught [in the summer], I’ve seen a number of students during the summer scrambling to get all their work done,” Polopolus-Meredith said.

Polopolus-Meredith felt there might be a connection to this trend and the shortened library hours.

MOVING FORWARD

The resolution was sent to members of the UH community including the cāhancellor, ASUH, Dean of Graduate Education and other figures who work to assist students and their research.

“They’re the people who are going to be pertinent to the discussion and getting [the hours] changed, and so we’re going to meet with those people … to see about the possibility of making this happen,” Dial said.

Legalize the other ‘green’ Industrial hemp is good for Hawai‘i

UH Mānoa should have designated smoking areas DANIEL MURATA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Initially scheduled for 2014, the campus-wide smoking ban when into effect on Aug. 17.

I reviewed the website, watched the news and read the banners.

I’m not 15 years old. I’m aware of the health risks and am constantly reminded, on many fronts, of the poor choice I made as an adolescent to start smoking. I respect and value people’s decision not to smoke. Truthfully, I wish I never started, but that’s not my point.

EXISTING LAWS

The health conviction of second hand smoke was established long ago. When the state legislature adopted its smoking policy, second hand smoke was the main deliberation. According to the law, smoking within 20 feet of public buildings is prohibited.

Smokers — not only on campus — have complied with the policy

individuals have become the basis of the argument, then designate strategically placed smoking areas throughout campus and prohibit it otherwise. Without instruction, this is generally what smokers do anyway: we establish unofficial spaces where we feel our habit has the least impact on others. If some of us have failed in choosing the right spot, we’d be happy to find a new one out of consideration.

Here’s the solution: UH wants a smoke-free environment, smokers want a place to smoke. Have those smoking areas distributed around campus, just as they did at Leeward Community College. Enforce a smoke-free campus outside the designated areas with campus security. Set a $10 fine, the cost of one pack of cigarettes, which I assure you will detour any smoker.

It even provides a small source of income, which then could be used

It would take just ten minutes to buy signs designating smoking areas for the entire Mānoa campus. and it does not take a list of references to realize how different things are today. We have moral consideration for others and we’re educated about the health risks of secondhand smoke; I rarely witness a smoker light a cigarette out of disrespect.

At the same time, you cannot keep using the effects of secondhand smoke as a crutch. If I’m 50 feet away, it likely does not harm you any more than the exhaust of the campus security SUV driving by.

In any case, the 20 feet distance of consideration was established.

SOLUTION

It’s true that some people carelessly walk through campus while smoking or define their own distance of consideration. If those few

to improve smoking areas with ashtrays to keep the area clean and hazard-free.

SMOKING ON SIDEWALKS

According to the new regulation, the entire UH Mānoa campus is smoke-free with a “courtesy zone” along the bordering sidewalks – where one would find the most pedestrian traffic. Effectively, the policy forces both smokers and nonsmokers into a situation where second hand smoke is unavoidable.

Personally, I do not smoke on the sidewalk because I find it morally wrong and I choose not to subject others to my bad habit. The new policy ostracizes smokers and has a negative impact on other people.

In a place of higher education, you would expect more from its pol-

icy makers, who, I presume, are all smoke-free.

HYPOCRISY

The part that gets to me most: the activists’ promotion is for a “safe and healthy learning and working environment,” yet on campus and at affiliated events you can purchase alcohol and unhealthy foods, making the entire project look hypocritical. I’ve heard arguments that such indulgences don’t directly affect bystanders as second hand smoke does, but that is side stepping the discussion.

I embrace the freedom of choice to grab a beer after work or snack on nachos and cheese while supporting the baseball team. To each their own: UH has built a time and place for such frills, which means it should designate a place for me to smoke. It’s a choice I should not be ostracized for, after all.

All of the time, effort and money that went into building a completely smoke-free campus should have been directed elsewhere. It would take just 10 minutes to buy signs designating smoking areas for the entire Mānoa; to install them, it would take the time it took me to write this article.

Smoking being permitted only in such areas would resolve the issue on moral grounds because it’s better defined. When the law is too vague — as it is when there is no official enforcement — the door to abuse is left open. Here’s an example: an individual smoking disrespectfully would require the conflicting intervention of bystanders based on opinion. Designating a smoking location removes individual interpretation and leaves enforcement to security personnel.

Hawai‘i needs more of that “green” – hemp, that is. As this plant is versatile enough to be used as paper, fuel, soil renewal, fiber, health care products, and a stable profit in the state’s economy, it becomes questionable why it has not been legalized sooner.

On January 26, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa made great strides in its industrial hemp project by receiving a permit to initiate their first crop. The plants grew 10 feet in height in as little as 10 weeks.

However, the illegal standing of the crop is preventing it from flourishing anywhere else in Hawai‘ i.

Despite the large support behind the project, there are a few legislators who are not fully convinced that Hawai‘ i needs this plant. With

This can put people to work, can put dollars back in our economy...

– MIKE GABBARD CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE ON WATER LAND AND AGRTICLUTURE

further support and awareness from local communities, hemp will be the state’s ultimate two-in-one package. It will be both environmentally liberating and it will put more money into our pockets.

HEMP: THE SUPER-PLANT

Hemp, a variation of the Cannabis sativa plant, is a promising source of methanol. No longer would Hawai‘ i be so dependent on fossil fuels, known to be quickly depleting and harming the Earth’s atmosphere, if we start growing the plant as a green substitute. New studies, such as one conducted at the University of Alberta, also created a super capacitor from hemp as an alternative to expensive traditional batteries.

The super-plant can be converted into paper that does not turn yellow.

On average, trees take about 50-500

years to grow before made into paper; however, hemp only takes about 100 days. Hemp paper lasts longer compared to wood paper and can also be recycled up to three times more.

Finally, when used in construction, hemp fiberboards can be twice as strong as wood. One acre of hemp is the equivalent of four acres of trees. By investing in the plant, Hawai‘ i will manufacture more fuel, paper and fiberboards, and will save some trees.

MARIJUANA DOES NOT EQUAL HEMP

State Representative Cynthia Thielen told Hawai‘i News Now that “there are a few, a very few number of legislators [who] still are afraid of a crop that won’t get anyone high.”

Marijuana is not the same as hemp. Hemp will not get you high, and unlike marijuana, it can be used for industrialized purposes.

There is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in both plants, a substance that causes intoxication. Marijuana, however, contains about 15 percent THC, whereas hemp’s level is only 0.5 percent – not enough to get anyone high.

STILL NOT CONVINCED?

“This is an amazing plant. It’s going to be a boon for Hawai‘i farmers, for the Hawai‘i economy,” State Senator Mike Gabbard, Chair of the Committee on Water, Land and Agriculture, told Hawaii News Now. Hemp will not only bring environmental benefits to the state’s economy, but also economic stability.

“With the demise of sugarcane pineapple ... this can be something that can truly replace that on a massive scale. This can put people to work, can put dollars back in our economy, and market globally,” State Representative Chris Lee said to Hawaii News Now in July.

Financial circulation will create more jobs while putting more money into our pockets. Hemp will contribute a source of fuel and paper, and facilitate construction in our community, along with its other 25,000 uses.

Uber waves Ridesourcing just arrived, but it’s making many upset JARRETT SHIRAI / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Ridesourcing is under attack from taxis and public transit companies all over the world.

ALDEN ALAYVILLA WEB EDITOR

On Aug. 26, WDBJ-TV reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, were murdered on-air by former WDBJ-TV employee Vester Lee Flanagan, 41, who later killed himself, according to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office.

The shooting occurred in Moneta, Virginia, around 6:40 a.m. EST. Flanagan also shot Vicki Gardner, 62, as she was being interviewed by Parker.

According to a Franklin County Sheriff’s Office release: “Flanagan was a former employee of WDBJ-TV and on air went by Bryce Williams. Flanagan sent a lengthy, multi-page fax to a national news organization in New York about this incident. Investigators now have a copy of it to use in the course of this investigation.”

Ka Leo staffers voiced their reactions, concerns and opinions regarding this tragedy. As student journalists of Ka Leo, #WeStandWithWDBJ. NOELLE FUJII / EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

I think it’s quite shocking something like this would happen, despite the fact that these things happen everyday – whether they’re journalists or not. ... As a journalist, it makes me feel a little bit more nervous than before. I would have never considered that this could happen to somebody doing their normal job in the morning in a community like Virginia. There’s nothing really strikingly dangerous about it. Even if it happens to us, we still have to do our jobs. It does also emphasize to always be careful on how you treat other people, too.

COURTNEY TEAGUE / NEWS EDITOR

I think it’s an absolutely tragic situation, and it’s yet another instance that should show us that we need more gun control and regulation in this country. We really need to just take this seriously because anyone walking down the

street, anytime, could be in danger when we do not impose serious regulations on firearms. [As a journalist], it definitely makes you feel more as a target. … We’ve seen so many of these tragedies this year, past years, and I think it definitely should be more of a conversation as to why we aren’t imposing stricter laws to make sure these things don’t repeat.

DAVID MCCRACKEN / SPORTS EDITOR

When I’m out on the field, I really enjoy being a sports journalist. It’s hard for me to comprehend something dangerous or tragic happening to me personally because I’m just out there doing what I love to do. Granted, there are incidents when people died during sporting events. … Anything can happen in sports. After what happened today in Virginia, it really puts things in perspective that just because we’re reporting from the sidelines, it doesn’t mean that life stops – things will continue to happen.

JESSICA HOMRICH / PUBLIC RELATIONS COORDINATOR

I thought it was extremely crazy that someone ... could do something so terrible in a normal environment.

When I see [warzone coverage], okay, that stuff’s scary, but I want to do it.

But then it makes you think that if you go to a protest on campus like last year, people are upset about something. Literally anywhere you are, something can happen. It’s kind of scary thinking your life is in danger when you’re just doing your job.

IKAIKA SHIVELEY / ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

I thought that would only happen in war zones or covering gang stories. Even working for Ka Leo, I don’t think [being attacked or murdered] would ever happen, but I’m sure there’s some stories that can lead to that. If it’s just another journalist that’s doing it, that’s insane that it would happen.

IRENE FANG STAFF WRITER

Ridesourcing is great for consumers. The fares are significantly lower than that of traditional taxis – about $30 from the airport to town, according to Yelp reviews. Judging by ridesourcing’s popularity, Hawai‘i is getting increasingly tired of the old system.

However, traditional taxicab affiliates, among others, want an end to Transportation Network Companies (TNC’s) like Uber and Lyft. This is unfair, anti-competition and only hurts the many consumers who benefit from simpler, more efficient and cheaper means of transportation. This is not to say that TNCs are without their faults — and they must be addressed — but ridesourcing makes people’s lives easier.

REGULATION, OVERREGULATION

After Uber’s rabid success in Honolulu, many local taxi businesses got upset. Not to miss out on opportunities to force ridesourcing companies to purchase giant bites of policy, local insurance companies also jumped aboard. Senate Bill 1280 was born.

SB1280 will have public utilities commissions regulate transportation network companies (TNCs) and their drivers, set up additional requirements for the latter and set up additional insurance requirements for their employers.

SB1280 is supported by the testimony of the major insurance interests in Hawai‘ i — GEICO and State Farm — and various taxi companies. The insurance providers take issue with the drivers not having business insurance. However, Uber is insured far more than the average Honolulu taxi: up to a million dollars. In contrast, Hawai‘ i law requires taxi companies to carry insurance of $100,000 per a single person, $200,000 for more than one and $50,000 for property damage.

The million dollar primary insurance policy, however, doesn’t kick in until there’s an actual passenger

in an Uber vehicle – which makes sense. However, insurance companies do not like that and seek to eliminate the difference, and force Uber to buy more insurance.

According to a petition on Uber’s website, the new bill may not make Honolulu a viable market for TNCs. If ridesourcing leaves Honolulu because of the greed of insurance companies, consumers will be hurt because taxicab companies will have no competition. Furthermore, SB1280 does nothing to address the actual negative consequences of TNCs, such as lack of benefits for full-time employees, gas costs, etc.

IN THE NAME OF “PUBLIC SAFETY”

SB1280 has its critics among traditional taxi and insurance companies, who would benefit the most from kicking TNCs out of Hawai‘ i.

They feel the bill does not do enough to level the playing field for them; among them is general manager of EcoCab, David Jung: “I came, I saw, I conqured (sic); great attitude if you’re Ceasar conquring (sic) another nation, not so if you’re coming into a state and asking its people to entrust their lives and safety,” wrote Jung (in all caps and underlined) in a testimony against the bill.

Some of his points, I admit, are valid. Ridesourcing companies should be subject to the same license requirements and fees as any service that uses public roads for profit.

However, Uber has a strict review policy for drivers, and those who have too low reviews (under 4.6 stars) will be suspended from the service. Drivers must also undergo background checks, and I do not see how TNC drivers are more dangerous than traditional taxi drivers.

At the same time, critics of SB1280 rarely mention the actual employees of companies like Uber and Lyft. Drivers are under a lot of pressure to have high ratings, with a constant risk of being barred from the service for even a slightly unfavorable review. They must also

maintain their own cars and cannot receive health care benefits.

WE CAN’T FIGHT THE FUTURE

Uber and Lyft are progressive companies – there is no cash exchanged because all transactions are handled by the app. In Uber’s case, not only can customers review drivers, but drivers can also review customers, and customers with poor reviews can also be barred from using the service. This overturns the “customer is king” mentality behind any service-heavy industry and creates a fairer and more equal space promoting mutual respect and friendliness. It also makes both consumers and drivers more comfortable.

This is not to say that Uber is flawless and not guilty of questionable practices. While as a consumer I think it’s great, I wouldn’t be too happy as an employee.

SB1280 is not doing much to address real and relevant issues that affect drivers’ lives.

For instance, Uber drivers are not given medical benefits that come with traditional jobs, and drivers must pay for gas costs themselves. TNCs should be required to give full-time employees benefits, just like any other employer in the country.

TNC drivers don’t make that much. “Only two percent earned more than $75,000 in 2014. Nearly 6 out of 10 drivers earned less than $10,000 in driving income in 2014,” said Ryder Pearce, co-founder of transportation analytics app SherpaShare.

Ridesourcing allows people to make money with ease and flexibility. This, however, has negative side effects like allowing TNCs to exist in a legal gray zone when it comes to giving employees benefits.

There’s no point in fighting progress — crippling TNCs financially — but making sure employees are reasonably taken care of falls on the law. Hawai‘i needs ridesourcing and regulation of employee benefits for TNC drivers. SB1280, however, is not the answer.

Aloha Nights is the University of Hawai‘i’s student nightlife page, housed within Ka Leo’s Features section. Its goal is to provide students with guides about what is currently trending outside of the university environment.

PLANNING THE ULTIMATE

THROWBACK PARTY SHIINA LOSCIUTO STAFF WRITER

Now that school is back in session, the reality of growing up haunts students on a daily basis.

Sometimes, today’s music doesn’t ease the stress. It’s time to put your iTunes library on shuffle to listen to your favorite band from the past — whether it’s Bowling for Soup or any other band — and throw a party that honors your childhood.

Follow these tips for a party that’ll put you and your friends in nostalgic bliss.

THEME

THE PLAYLIST

The best parties are themed parties. Having creative costumes makes for great photo opportunities.

The perfect playlist may take hours to create, but it will make everyon nostalgic. Playing songs that your guest forgot existed will put them in a mood like no other.

Make sure to include favorites from all genres that span from the mid90’s to the early-2000’s. This ranges from Disney channel to Fall Out Boy tracks that still to this day you’re not sure what they’re saying. Guests should submit songs beforehand so everyone can get a taste of their tween glory.

1. Your awkward stage — school is a great inspiration for this theme. Anything from slap-on bracelets, weirdly matched prints and pants that are too short.

2. High school stereotypes - High school seems so long ago for some of us, so get dressed up and relive what you thought were the best days of your lives.

3. 90’s music video - For this one, look up any music video from the 90’s — there will be many options.

Spandex and gold chains can be found on Amazon.

PARTY SONGS

GAMES Make sure to have a few activities planned to distinguish the spectacular from a middle school dance.

As the night goes on and the playlist gets guests in the feels, it’s important to keep them occupied with a game. Here are some games your guests can play throughout the night. To make it more entertaining, have losers take a shot.

Dance Dance Revolution Disney Scene It Super Smash Brothers Twister Heads Up - That’s So 90’s category

“All the Small Things” Blink 182 “Whatever You Like” T.I. “We Belong Together” Mariah Carey “This Love” Maroon 5 “My Immortal” Evanescence “Leave (Get Out)” Jojo “Bad Day” Daniel Powter “Tubthumping” Chumbawamba “Move Along” All American Rejects “ Sugar We’re Goin’ Down” Fall Out Boy “Thong Song” Sisqo “Mambo No.5” Lou Bega “The Great Escape” Boys Like Girls “Only Wanna Be With You” Hootie and the Blowfish “Bye, Bye, Bye” NYSNC “In The End” Licoln Park

FOOD Food can make or break a party, so having the right choices is necessary for a night of fun. Find the snacks you craved in the golden days. Have your guests each bring a snack to this blast-from-the-past extravaganza.

Here are some elementary school styled favorites for starts.

Healthy living Tips and supplements to ensure a healthy semester BEN DECASTRO FEATURES EDITOR

Sneezing, coughs and sniffles – S those are preventable symptoms tho that could ruin the beginning of tha your semester. There are many yo ways to avoid getting sick and conwa tracting contagious illnesses like tra the common cold, flu, or worse, strep throat. str UH’s department of Human U Nutrition, Food and Animal SciNu ences department (HNFAS) facen

ulty member Jinan Banna suggests avoiding direct contact with those who are sick and make sure to wash your hands frequently. “Germ hot spots” that you would like to avoid and disinfect would be frequently touched objects such as doorknobs, phones or faucets.

Many supplements are available in your local grocery store that have been proven to play a role in preventing illnesses and boost immunity. These supplements include vitamin D for bone health, vitamin

C for immunity. Though, Banna said that vitamin supplements should be primarily used to fill nutritional gaps in your diet.

Vaccinations are still the best way to prevent many types of ailments from whooping coughs to many types of influenzas, Banna said. It is advised that you discuss with your healthcare provider about immunizations.

Homeopathic, or home remedies, include steam and staying hydrated – hot tea or ginger tea can help,

HNFAS faculty Julia Zee said. Eating foods that are bland like oatmeal or plain soups help if you have an upset stomach. Zee recommended that people who are sick should avoid eating spicy or greasy.

Don’t wait until it’s too late to follow these tips. It also helps to do your own research on the types of contagious bugs that are out there. Overall, Banna and Zee recommended a balanced diet.

Mike Love’s newest album “Love Will Find a Way” hits stores this Tuesday.

IKAIKA SHIVELEY ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

Local reggae artist Mike Love performed at the University of Hawai‘ i’s annual Welcome Back Bash this past Friday. After the performance, I spoke with Mike Love before he prepares for his upcoming U.S. tour.

Ka Leo: The term “Babylon” is prevalent in several of your songs, as it stands for oppression. Is there anything in Hawai‘i that Babylon relates to?

Mike Love: “Oh, gosh, so much, man. There’s a system placed in every corner on the world that controls everything in the world. And there’s an elite group of people, kinda behind a lot of the oppression going on the world. It’s everywhere, every country in the world.

That’s really the prevailing force behind the use of that term. The system in general what I refer to as Babylon, a system of oppression that’s like the fabric of society. A system lies.

KL: Your upcoming album is titled “Love Will Find a Way.” Is love a recurring theme in this new album?

ML: “Well, it is about love and the power of love. The force of love to overcome negativity in darkness and oppression even in the most uncertain, most trying times. Love is at the core of everything. It is the force and reason that we are all here to discover that connection that is love, the higher power that is at the root of everything. The common thread and theme of the album is that these are dark times we are living, the most dark times in history as we know it. There’s a lot of dark and sinister things happening, and when we become aware of that and witness to it, it breaks down our hope and positivity for the future. It’s the idea that even in face of all that negativity, pain and suffering; the power of love is at the root of everything and in us all.

It will prevail in the times that we

need it most. I’ve been a witness to it too many times to deny it.

KL: You use different types of technology in your shows, like the looping machine. Do you think that technology will ever go too far, to a point where people would lose the sense of creativity?

ML: “It already has, long ago. You listen to the radio and you hear the same song over and over again. It’s just different people singing it. It’s the same producers, the same guys writing the music. As humans, we are never going to be the perfect machines that can sing perfectly on pitch to a standard of a computer. With the technology in music and recording, all the instruments are quantized, and the voices are all auto-tuned beyond a level that’s humanly possible. If you listen to The Beatles, their pitches were great, but they were never perfectly on pitch. But it’s warm and sounds beautiful. But if The Beatles came out with an album today, it would sound off. I think, definitely, technology in music has taken it too far, and music sounds sterile and lifeless.

KL: In a previous interview, you said that you had to write multiple songs until you found one that you were content with. Can you explain what to you is the perfect song and the process.”

ML: There’s no song that’s the perfect song. Some people think when you start writing music, it’s like singing. Some people can naturally sing, and some people can’t. I always loved to sing growing up but I had to really teach myself vocal techniques, and now I think I have a pretty good technique, or I have a certain style that I have developed.

Some people may have a more natural talent, but nobody just starts singing, and they’re good. I think songwriting is the same way.

Nobody just writes their first song, and it’s a mega-awesome song that everybody loves. I said [in a previous interview] I wrote 50 songs, or

Q&A with Mike Love

MONDAY, AUG. 31, 2015

80, before that I wrote anything that I thought was good. I could tell there were things there that I was working on, and ideas that I was developing were starting to get good. Over time, it’s like you are developing and doing things, and it becomes unique. When it’s truly unique and something special, then you write a song one day, and it’s like oh, that’s pretty good. Pretty soon, you’re just writing songs that are from your heart and honest.

KL: You played at UH tonight.

Each student here has some sort of passion, but it seems that students and people in general have a fear to pursue their passion or what they love. Do you have any advice for them?

ML: Yeah. Don’t be afraid. [laughs] No, it’s true. I totally feel that. Even when I was growing up, and I’m sure you’ve felt it too, you can see how even in the younger generations that the fear of stepping out to be unique and be different is even stronger than when I was growing up. And I felt that too growing up, that feeling of if I do something and step out and say, “Hey, here I am; I want to try this thing,” and you look stupid, and people laugh at you. It’s a feeling that’s like the end of the world, but when you get to my age, you just don’t care anymore. I was lucky enough to grow up in a family where my parents encouraged me to be myself. More and more, the system, entertainment and fashion, targets them to not be different and to conform. That’s where I think a lot of that stems from. A thing where people are afraid to follow their passion, as they’ve been trained from an early age to be afraid of being themselves or doing something different than the next guy, afraid of failing. The thing is, really, if you don’t ever try anything, then you’re just living in a complete failure. From when I started playing music, sometimes I would play for a couple people, but I was connecting with people, whether it was one person or 20.

People now say, “Man, you’re awesome; you’re going to make it.” Back when I was playing for one or two people, I was already telling people that would say that, that I am successful because I’m doing what I want to do. I’m free to do what I want to do; I’m happy, and I’m connecting to people and helping people. I may reach a point where I’m playing for stadiums of people, but that doesn’t even matter.

That whole viewing things in those terms don’t matter being, because if you are doing things that is fulfilling, then you are already a success. You got to be willing to try and go with [what] your gut and feelings are telling you.”

Love’s show at The Republik this Wednesday celebrates his new album and kicks off his U.S. tour.

Your Kitchen achieved popularity through its pork bowls that are simmered overnight, served with steaming hot rice and a lightly fried soft-boiled egg.

Your Kitchen in Pālolo STEPHANIE KIM STAFF WRITER

Your Kitchen is a hole-in-the-wall that serves up a delicious, limited menu selection and shaved ice that’s perfect for this hot weather.

The restaurant opened up in 2009 in residential Pālolo After I found street parking in the neighborhood and reach the steps of Your Kitchen, I was surprised that the raving Yelp reviews and the talk about the famed pork bowls come from this place. The restaurant sits between Noelani Gallery and a fishing and hobbying store. The small kitchen and seating area could fit up to eight people. The majority of the customers either order take-out by phone or at the counter, or they sit on the steps right outside of the restaurant.

Your Kitchen has a small household-sized kitchen with five to six people on staff, but it still manages to serve up dishes that are full of flavor. Its limited menu features only four items: the pork bowl ($8.99 regular, $6.50 mini), the beef steak bowl ($12 regular, $7.99 mini), the loco moco ($8.99) and the oyakodon ($8.99 regular, $6.50 mini).

The pork bowl is the most popular item among customers and lives up to the hype. I ordered the regular-sized pork bowl (pictured), which was more than enough for me. The pork is simmered overnight and served on a warm bed of rice, topped with a lightly fried soft-boiled egg. The pork is so full of flavor and the slight chewiness was perfect for this sweet and salty flavor. The fried soft-boiled egg was crunchy, soft and went well with the pork flavor.

Along with its main dish items, Your Kitchen serves shaved ice topped with housemade flavors.

There are nine flavors that include green tea, haupia or lychee, along with eight special shaved ice items.

A strawberry-flavored shaved ice comes with vanilla ice cream and condensed milk, and the fujiyama, which is a green tea-flavored shave ice, comes with green tea ice cream and azuki beans. There are two sizes: small ($3.50) and large ($4) for the flavored shaved ice and the special shaved ice items go for $5-$5.50. For an additional charge, you can add vanilla ice cream, azuki beans or condensed milk (50 cents), haupia or green tea ice cream ($1). If you’d like to have your large shaved ice or special shaved ice to go, it’ll cost you $1.

Your Kitchen is a great place to grab food to go or stop by for some shaved ice and sit on the steps with some friends. Either way, the food is delicious and a must-try.

Coming off a fourth consecutive losing season, the ‘Bows are set to turn things around in 2015.

DREW AFUALO STAFF WRITER

When Max Wittek was named the Warriors starting quarterback for the 2015 season this past July, it signaled a change for the University of Hawai‘i football program; a “win-now or never” mentality.

After recording a 4-9 record last season under head coach Norm Chow, who is now entering his fourth season at the helm of the program, the Warriors have taken drastic measures in its approach to the game on the gridiron and to its coaching staff.

“We feel good about it, and we feel healthy,” Chow said. “We’re anxious to prove ourselves and we still have a lot to practice, but we feel good.”

According to Chow, the first game is always tough and there is always a level of uncertainty involved due to the lack of experience new players may have with returning ones.

However, each player has the same end goal in mind: to win.

First on deck for the ‘Bows is a home game against the University of Colorado Buffaloes. The Buffaloes had a worse record than the Warriors last season, posting a 2-10 regular season record. However, Colorado recorded their first win of the 2014 season against Hawai‘i with a 21-12 victory at home.

For the Warriors to survive against Colorado and be successful this season, the team needs to have the right mindset going into each week.

Winning the first game of the season would be an emotional lift for the Warriors, but victories may come seldom as the Warriors are looking at a competitive schedule this season that includes no

bye week and a schedule of 13 games in 13 weeks. They are also set to play the former BCS National Champions Ohio State and national powerhouse University of Wisconsin. What makes these two games even more difficult for the Warriors? Both games are away.

Regardless of the tough weeks ahead, the players remain hopeful, especially after finishing their fall camp strong.

“It’s great. Everybody is really coming together as a team,” said senior and starting linebacker Lance Williams. “It’s a lot different than last year; we communicate a lot more both on and off the field.

In addition to the newly appointed staff, the Warriors have made some major changes on their starting lineup as well. One of these changes comes at arguably the most important position on the team: quarterback. Replacing their starting quarterback last season, Ikaika Woolsey, is senior University of Southern California transfer Max Wittek.

Wittek appeared in 13 career games for the Trojans during the 2012 and 2013 seasons before transferring to Hawai‘ i after losing the starting job under center to Cody Kessler. Wittek was in competition with last year’s starter Ikaika Woolsey for the quarterback posi-

We feel good about it, and we feel healthy.

We’re anxious to prove ourselves and still have a lot to practice, but we feel good.

– NORM CHOW HEAD COACH

So I can tell it’s a really great team.”

Some of the changes and better chemistry within the team, according to Williams, may be attributed to the fact that there were five new coaches added to the staff including three new coordinators: Don Bailey as offensive coordinator, Tom Mason as defensive coordinator and Jake Cookus as the special teams coordinator.

Chow, with an entirely new staff around him, sees the change as a step in the right direction.

“Coaching is a very transient profession,” Chow said. “We all know that, and the new guys are doing a great job.”

tion during the spring and early summer training season, until the team finally made their decision official in late July.

With the hype of his four-star background as a high school quarterback and starting for one of the best Pac-12 schools in the nation, Wittek feels that the pressure and anticipation is motivation to perform well.

“I think with coach Bailey’s new offense, it’s pretty simple,” Wittek said. “As long as I know what I’m looking at, we should get good results. Hopefully then I can lead us to some victories.”

On the defensive end, under

the new direction of coach Mason, there are several returners entering their last year with a more determined mindset. Returning to the gridiron is senior linebacker Simon Poti, senior offensive lineman Ben Clarke and senior defensive backs Ne’Quan Phillips and Jerrol Garcia-Williams.

Although the Warriors have made some alterations to their staff and starting lineup, it is difficult to say whether the team will be able to harness their offensive potential due to some of the major losses on offense.

Former starting running back Joey Iosefa, now a fullback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was UH’s lead running back last year.

Scott Harding, a fan favorite as the team’s punter, punt returner and wide receiver last season, also graduated this past May. Despite criticism that the schedule is too challenging for this team and the pressure focused on Norm Chow, the team continues to remain optimistic; certain that it does not matter who they play as long as they remain focused and prepared for whoever is coming up next.

“I’m excited to play the big guys, like Ohio State and Wisconsin,” Wittek said. “Everyone keeps saying how those are going to be tough games, and they are. But to me they are no bigger than any other game, they count as one win or one loss, and I think it’s just a great opportunity for us.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

This past week, the University of Hawai’i men’s basketball team lost two members of the program, but gained two as well. Assistant coach Norm Parrish accepted the head coach position at Division II Westminister college in Utah, while Junior point guard Bryce Canda was found academically ineligible for the fall semester. However, the ‘Bows added Sheriff Drammeh, a true freshman guard who hails from Sweeden. The ‘Bows also added guard Jakob Cornelisson, a freshman walk-on from Australia. The men’s basketball team also released their schedule for the upcoming season, opening against Montana State on November 13th at the Stan Sheriff Center.

The Rainbow Wahine opened the season on a strong note with relatively smooth victories over Idaho and Wichita State, losing only one set total. The Wahine made quick work of Idaho, sweeping the Vandals 25-18, 25-23, 25-19 with a quintessential team effort. The following night, the Wahine dropped the first set to Wichita but rallied back to win 24-26, 25-20, 25-20, 25-19 behind junior Nikki Taylor’s double-double performance.
