Research may predict risk of chronic disease years before diagnosis NICOLE TAM STAFF WRITER

University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center researchers have found a cheaper and faster way to detect diabetes a few years before diagnosis. By measuring fatty acids through a blood test, researchers discovered the fatty acids in blood may help predict the risk of pre-diabetic patients. Such a test would be beneﬁcial for patients like Jordan Keller, a UH Mānoa student who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. “It’s pretty cool how technology has progressed throughout my life as a diabetic, Keller said in a phone interview. “I think it would prepare people to learn more about diabetics when it comes to them being diagnosed.” Dr. Wei Jia, associate director at the Cancer Epidemiology Program at the Cancer Center, said his diabetic

In a cohort study, Jia and a group of researchers collected samples from a group of healthy people 10 years before they were diagnosed with diabetes. They continued to collect samples at different time periods to observe how they change within a 10- to 20- year period. “Obesity has been regarded in recent years as a disease, we don’t believe it,” Jia said. “We always believe that it doesn’t have to be obese, sometimes when a person is

WORK IN PROGRESS

The process of developing a test will involve engineering and marketing experts, who must ﬁrst simplify equipment that physicians in a hospital can operate. Then, they must undergo trials from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to test product efﬁciency. These diabetic blood tests would take around 30 minutes to an hour to generate results. There are issues that still need to be resolved before going through the steps of FDA approval. “Handling hundreds of samples at once comes with problems like sta-

bility and quality control,” Jia said. For Type 2 diabetes patients like Karen Matsuoka, a diabetic blood test program from UH could cut costs in the near future. “A lot of people would think about the ﬁnancial portion, whether or not their insurance would cover it, Matsuoka said. “That’s the only part I would think would be a concern to this new discovery.” Jia believes the test will be affordable in the future once it has been further developed and is on the market.

Lessons learned from Katrina State looks at preventative measures for damage NOELLE FUJII EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

If a Category 3 or higher hurricane hits Honolulu, the city is not prepared, at least in terms of buildings. According to George Atta, director of the city Department of Planning and Permitting, the existing building code only requires resistance to a wind load of a Category 2 hurricane, which would have sustained winds of 96-110 miles per hour. However, different types of buildings can have different requirements. “To get hit by a Category 3 storm is going to be hard,” Atta said. “And while you can change the building codes, just the scale of all of the buildings in Honolulu, if we changed the building code to require a Category 3 protection — like some of the Gulf coast cities now have protection to Category 3 — it’ll be very, very expensive, ﬁrst of all.” A MAJOR STORM

Atta was part of a Nov. 12 panel on campus that discussed the lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina and the implications for the state. The panel included University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Meteorology Professor Gary Barnes, Sociology Lecturer Jen-

nifer Darrah, Engineering Professor Ian Robertson and National Disaster Preparedness Training Center Executive Director Karl Kim, who moderated the panel. As the third deadliest storm in the U.S., Hurricane Katrina made landfall as a Category 3 storm, ﬂooded 80 percent of the city and caused an estimated $150 billion in damages. Approximately 1,400 people were killed. According to Barnes, the storm was very well-forecasted, but the human response to it was a big issue. “The social portion of dealing with disasters or responding correctly to disasters is one of the big issues that I don’t know how to solve,” Robertson said at the panel. PREVENTATIVE MEASURES

As a structural engineer, he learned three main lessons from the disaster: • Blind reliance on engineered structures is not always prudent. • Surge and wave action is more damaging than wind. • Good engineering and advanced preparation are essential to improving resilience for these mega events. On O‘ahu, 76 bridges are located in coastal areas, with 27 being

labeled in a state Department of Transportation study as “critical.” One of the bridges in trouble is Kahalu‘u Stream Bridge on the east side, which lies only threeto ﬁve- feet above sea level. While Kāne‘ohe Bay is secluded because of its reef, this makes no difference to the storm surge, Robertson said. However, many of the bridges around the island have been rebuilt, such as the one for Punalu‘u Stream. For buildings, wind is going to cause damage, though Robertson said it can be solved. “Hurricane clips strap down the side of the house and make a huge difference,” he said. “The houses that get damaged are the old single wall construction with no connection between the roof and the walls and the walls and the foundation. We solved that problem because the codes do require it.” According to Atta, this requirement is for new residential buildings. His department hopes to bring an updated version of the building code up for adoption next year. LESSONS LEARNED

What can really be learned from Katrina is that evacuation is the way to save lives.

AMARINSKY / WIKIMEDIA COMMONS 

Hurricane Katrina displaced more than one million people in the U.S.

“Somehow we have to convince people that they need to get away from the shoreline, and if they’re in substandard homes, they should go to refuge,” Robertson said. “If you’re in a decent 1980 plus home, it may be better to stay at home because there’s not enough storm shelters for everybody.” There are enough shelters for about one-third of O‘ahu’s popula-

tion, but according to Atta, only half of them are adequate. However, he said the city’s emergency response system is better than most states and some communities have even prepared localized responses.

Raising Our Voice Political voting rates among youth and college students continues to drop, but there may be hope JORDAN CLAYBAUGH STAFF WRITER

College students are the rising millennial generation. Full of innovative, progressive and technologically savvy thinkers, you would expect more students to address issues that directly affect them. However, the U.S. Census Bureau’s voting data shows that, on average since 1964, less than half of eligible voters between the ages of 18-24 submit their vote in national presidential elections. In 2012, only 38 percent of all eligible young people voted. These statistics are unfortunate. Today’s issues need addressing now, and if we, as college students, increase our voting percentage, we will be able to address these issues. WHY STUDENTS AREN’T VOTING

Quentin Kidd, the head of the political science department at Christopher Newport University who specializes in studying American voting habits, told USA Today that many students don’t feel a connection to the community they’re in.

“[Young adults] might be less attached to a community. When [they] graduate college they are likely to move around multiple times and not feel settled in a certain place,” Kidd said. “Once you establish yourself in a community you are more likely to vote.” The Census Bureau asked registered voters who did not cast their vote in the 2014 midterm election,

of The Daily Dot said. This is particularly relevant regarding the lack of American student voters. With only 14 states providing the opportunity to register online, the youth of the digital age may not ﬁnd time to keep up with voting paperwork via mail. Unfortunately, Hawai‘i hasn’t been making the most of its democratic rights either, having the lowest

On average since 1964, less than half of elligible voters between the ages of 18-24 submit their vote in presidential elections. “Which of the following was the main reason you did not vote?” The results showed that the majority of registered non-voters listed “too busy,” gathering approximately 28 percent of the study. “Depending on your state, voter registration can mean managing deadlines and keeping voter ID up to date – even as you move for school or a career,” Ben Branstetter

Whether this is attributed to the “one-party” feel of the primarily Democrat state or the detached feeling that time change creates between Hawai‘i and the mainland, UH Mānoa students still have the power to make up for lost votes in the coming years. In order to motivate students to vote as well as defy these unfortu-

Vapers should abide by smoke-free laws.

A few weeks ago, I was waiting outside of a restaurant to be seated. As two men, who were also waiting, were having a conversation and vaping, the smothering odor of strawberry-banana and blueberries began to permeate the air. Not only did it make my nose itch, causing me to sneeze uncontrollably, but I began to feel nauseous from the intoxicating scent.

WHY VOTING MATTERS

Some runners, such as Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, are calling on youth to act politically. Sanders has called for free college tuition through a step by step political plan which includes a 0.5 percent tax on Wall Street stock trades. His plan summary states, “It has been estimated that this provision could raise hundreds of billions a year, which could be used not only to make tuition free at public colleges and universities in this country, it could also be used to create millions of jobs and rebuild the middle class of this country.” Another youth-targeted proposal includes Hillary Clinton’s climate change plan, in which she proposes that 33 percent of electricity will be produced through renewable sources by 2027. Strategists are calling this a “winning issue for 2016,” and students are responding positively, being an issue that many

harmful even at low doses. It is an acute irritant and capable of causing headache and nausea. For pregnant women, nicotine can transfer to and harm the developing fetus.” According to “Above the Inﬂuence,” not only is nicotine considered a drug but it is also one of the most heavily used and most addictive drugs in the U.S. Yet vapers are insistent that these restrictions are unfair and do not support their cause to kick the dirty cigarette habit.

nate voting norms, candidates are striving to prioritize issues that are politically relevant to us.

VAPERS NEED RESTRICTIONS TOO

Vaping is a popular alternative to smoking cigarettes by inhaling water vapor or vape juice through a personal vaporizer. Vape juice usually consists of propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin infused with varying degrees of nicotine and with an array of colors and ﬂavors. My experience while waiting outside of the restaurant is not uncommon for others in the vicinity of someone who vapes. In an effort to improve air quality, a spur to action reached the desk of Gov. David Ige in the form of Act 19 (HB 940), which

restricts the use of electronic smoking devices, or e-cigarettes, in all locations where smoking is illegal, according to the state website. This is a great step for the state of Hawai‘i in reducing the normalization of smoking and protecting our individual health by promoting smoke-free public spaces. Act 19 states: “In a report issued this month on workplace tobacco policies, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health warns about the secondhand exposure to nicotine from e-cigarettes. Nicotine is addictive and toxic and

Vape users argue that because vape-pens do not involve the combustion of tobacco and chemicals within cigarettes, there are fewer negative consequences inﬂicted upon non-smokers and their health. Although the Federal Drug Administration bans vape manufacturer websites from claiming any health beneﬁts to vaping, it is still an implied reason for switching from cigarettes to vapes. The website for Hawai‘ i-based e-cig company Volcano makes no claims to health fame, but it does imply that e-cigs are healthier and safer than cigarettes because they use top of the line e-liquid ingredients. LIQUEFY A DRUG, ANY DRUG

Vape-pens can also be used to discreetly take synthetic drugs,

are passionate about. The 2016 candidates are also reaching out to social media to gain attention, popularity and hopefully, votes from the youth. Many candidates are seeking to go viral through outrageous media stunts, such as Sen. Lindsay Graham blending a smartphone, or Sen. Ted Cruz making machine gun bacon. Snapchat has also been increasing coverage on not only political debates and elections, but rallies for candidates. Sen. Rand Paul even rotated three ads across Snapchat. Student voice make up a massive amount of the American voice, which is exactly why 2016 candidates are going so far to capture our vote. With this upcoming election focused on students, our only job is to raise our voice. Fortunately, UH Mānoa students are at an advantage. The state of Hawai‘ i is one of the few states that provides online voter registration, making it much easier for us to get involved and we should. Keep an eye out for voter registration tables that are being set up at Campus Center weekly.

which make it hard for police and the general public to detect. According to a recent report by Hawaii News Now, vapes have now become a popular vessel for smoking heavier drugs ranging from the low scale of marijuana to the higher scale of cocaine, methamphetamine and over-the-counter cough syrups. As reported by Hawaii News Now, the Hina Mauka drug treatment facility in Kāne‘ohe helps more than 2,500 people annually and is seeing a growing number of patients who report they were vaping methamphetamine and other dangerous drugs. According to Alan Johnson, president and CEO of the facility, almost any drug that can be turned into a liquid can be vaped. While it is no business of mine what recreational activities people choose to partake in, I should have a say in where these activities take place as long as it concerns the well-being of myself and others. As a courtesy to non-smokers, vapers should abide by and embrace the smoke-free rules just like cigarette smokers. Considering how we may never know what exactly is in a person’s vape-pen, it is too much of a risk and just plain selﬁsh to expose unsuspecting bystanders to the mystery drug in vaporizers.

Abuse of power There is a lack of action in bringing about change CONNOR TARTER / FLICKR 

Recent local police arrests have put police trust into quesiton. IRENE FANG ASSOCIATE OPINIONS EDITOR

In March, a lesbian couple raised the ire of a police ofﬁcer for their public displays of affection. This landed them in jail and later broke from bail payments. The couple, now stabilized, is suing the ofﬁcer. Many believe that this case is about discrimination, which is true. However, it’s also about police abusing power and letting their egos override professionalism. It’s also about blind obedience to authority by civilians. WHAT HAPPENS IN FOODLAND, STAYS IN FOODLAND

Due to a lack of security video evidence, there’s no single version of truth of what transpired. However, there is a sequence that all accounts — news reports, eyewitness, the two women’s testimony, and the cop’s — can agree to. 1. Taylor Guerrero and Courtney Wilson were in Hawai‘i for vacation. 2. At Foodland in Pūpūkea, they kissed/hugged in an aisle. 3. Honolulu Police Department (HPD) Officer Bobby Harrison told them to stop. 4. The two women were confronted in the checkout line by the officer about their public displays of affection. 5. The officer had the store manager issue a trespass warning. 6. Wilson began to call 911 to report harassment. 7. A scuffle broke out between the officer and the women. “Both were arrested for assaulting a police officer,” HPD media liaison Michelle Yu said in an email. “Wilson was also arrested for fourth-degree criminal property damage.” The women’s attorney, Eric A. Seitz, confirmed to Ka Leo that when he asked Foodland for security tapes, they said they didn’t have them. Seitz clarified that it is extremely likely that the HPD has the video, and is not presenting it, despite a legal obligation to do so. THE ROLE AND AUTHORITY OF POLICE OFFICERS

Harrison’s actions, from his ﬁrst warning to the couple to his physical altercation with them, showed a desperation

to have his status and authority confirmed. He first told them verbally to stop, and when they weren’t behaving to his acceptable standards, he had them accused of trespassing. He used his station to have employees and the store manager aid him to ensure his authority over the two civilian women. When they opposed him by calling 911 and used foul language to address him, he said “You don’t talk to a police officer that way” — a sound bite of Harrison played on KHON2 — before the scuffle started. He may or may not have intentionally attacked the women, but all accounts agree that the women did not instigate the initial scuffle. The gradual rise in severity of Harrison’s rebukes evoke parallels to the

duty or not, but according to Seitz, it is likely they will maintain that Harrison was on duty. Despite not knowing whether the ofﬁcer had authority to give orders, the store manager heeded Harrison’s advice to issue trespass warnings to the women, and the store employees aided in restraining the two women. Foodland later apologized to Wilson and Guerrero, Seitz said. A Hawaii News Now commenter, Mike Ogata, was outraged and labeled the employees as “homophobic.” It is unlikely that this is true about every single employee who aided Harrison. When a government ﬁgure tells you to do something, you do it – it’s a natural instinct to obey whom you have been

infamous Stanford Prison Experiment. During the experiment, everyday people played the role of prison guards in a made-up lab setting, and their behaviors became increasingly violent and callous towards the roleplaying prisoners. Both parties knew that it was fake. However, it got to the point where the guards took on their pretend-roles and reality was blurred. The experiment showed the power of roles in society, and the way a person’s mindset could be twisted when given power. There seems to be nothing telling these ofﬁcers that their authority is not absolute and their decisions are not always the best for civilians. That is what really needs to change. STANDING UP TO AUTHORITY: MEDIA VS. REALITY

According to Seitz, who also teaches constitutional law at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa School of Law, in order for Harrison to charge the women with assault of a police ofﬁcer, he had to be on duty. Harrison was wearing his uniform at the time, but it is unknown whether or not he was on duty. HPD has not yet conﬁrmed whether he was on

taught as a child to obey. Several famous psychological tests have proven this. While police trust is at an all-time low, few will risk the ire of the state and real life consequences to point out police injustices. Despite social media movements, pictures and videos of enraged commenters protesting the injustice of authority, there is a lack of action in bringing about change.

MOVING FORWARD The papers have just been ﬁled, and HPD has yet to respond. We don’t know what will happen, but hopefully there will be a video to end debate about the appropriateness of Wilson and Guerrero’s PDA. It’s ﬁne to be uncomfortable — that is an individual right — but to take it out in public and whip it in the face of two innocent people because you have power and they don’t is wrong.

JAMES MIFFLIN You take a deep breath in. All that matters is whether your burning hands and feet can take any more exertion. With no rope to save you, you keep scaling the cliff, gripping crevice after crevice, until you finally reach the top. You look down and revel in your achievement, standing so far above the ground; you’ve overcome the challenge and your limitations. Imagine yourself in that situation, living life on the edge. That experience is what 21-yearold geology major James Mifflin lives for as a free climber. “When you’re in that moment, it’s very hectic to most people,” Mifflin said. “It’s a dangerous time when anything can happen, there’s a lot of ambiguity. It makes you live 110 percent in the moment. Nothing else in your life matters, and your life is on the line. I don’t have to worry about when my next paycheck is coming, or cleaning my house, or when that next assignment is due. I’m worried about where my foot will go so that I don’t fall off and die. Survival always takes precedent.” Free climbing is a rather unique sport and most are probably apprehensive about the risk involved. “You have to overcome it in your mind,” Mifflin said. “Your body can do it, but your mind will set you back.” It takes years to garner up this sort of understanding and courage about dangerous outdoor activities. James grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, surrounded by a family enamored by camping, backpacking and climbing. Among his outdoor accomplishments as a UH student, he’s climbed to K1, the highest peak in the Ko‘olau Range. “When I was 15, I just knew,” Mifflin said. “I loved to challenge myself in all sports, but there was something about climbing that just clicked. Climbing is really hard for me, but it was kind of fun to see how much I could push the limit. In a sport like climbing, you’re competing against yourself. It’s something so personal, and you are the only person who knows that you won.”

I THINK STUDENTS NEED TO GET OUT OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE AND MEET OTHERS THAT ARE NOT LIKE THEM

JESSIE SORCE For James, free climbing is his way of expressing his message as a unique individual to the rest of the world. “You have the power to do anything you want with your life,” Mifﬂin said. “You can break stereotypes, you can do something that people tell you you can’t do, you just have to set your mind to it. Just know you can chase your dreams, because they always seem pretty unattainable until you set your mind to it.”

Inspiration comes in many forms, from a book to a writer, a movie to an actor, a teacher to a student. Sorce currently has three jobs that she balances along with her schoolwork. While she’s not teaching swim class at Leahi Swim School, tutoring at Kamilo‘iki Elementary, or babysitting, she tries to be outdoors. But spending time with children is her favorite. “I love their openness,” she said. “They’re like little sponges; they take in everything that you say and do. They’re loving, and they want to be with you. They’re the best, and they have the best spirits.” Jessie grew up near the ocean in Malibu, California, where she developed a liking for marine biology. She initially came to the University of Hawai‘ i as a marine biology major but quickly switched in her freshman year when she realized that being a marine biologist wasn’t what she wanted to do.

“I didn’t know what to do,” Sorce said. “So I called my grandma in New Jersey. It was three in the morning and I was sobbing my eyes out in the freshman dorm bathroom. And she said, ‘Jessie, you’ve always been a teacher. You’re a natural one. That is something you need to at least try and pursue.’” Before coming here, Jessie traveled the world. Through countries like Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Ireland and Italy, she was able to meet new people and develop a new perspective. “When I traveled, my judgments and my walls and my ideas were destroyed,” Sorce said. “I had a wake up call. I think students need to get out of their comfort zone and meet others that are not like them. They need to explore themselves and who they are and what that means.” Jessie hopes to inspire young kids around the world. Her post-graduation plans include spending time in Cuba,

and eventually Bali, Indonesia, where she’s applying to teach at the Green School, which the U.S. Green Building Council named “Greenest School on Earth” in 2012. “Your job as a teacher is to show kids at a young age that it’s okay to be whatever you are,” Sorce said. “I want kids to come away with the idea that you need to be kind to everyone, no matter what they look like, who they love, or where they come from in life. Everyone is amazing, even if they don’t look like you or sound like you. Teachers create the mindset for society. So keep an open mind and learn from every opportunity. Be self-reﬂective and don’t get stuck in your ways. Just be you, in whatever glorious way that is.”

Unwinding doesn’t have to be stressful A dorming student’s guide to a cozy, relaxing night NATALIE KAMADA STAFF WRITER

Sometimes the best nights are the nights you stay inside, snuggling with a pillow and watching Netﬂix. These are the evenings devoid of obnoxious noises, people and waiting. Apply these suggestions for a calming night in. CALM SELF

The most important part of a great night is to feel your best. This means a bath for you and your room. Cleaning your space may be a strenuous step, but it’s a step that’s worth the while. After you clean your room, a bath for yourself

LED lights and provides a brighter light source. While advantageous during the day, blue light during the night is detrimental to your sleep. By having more artificial light at night, your brain remains active when it should be taking a break. Calm your mind by finding some flameless tea candles that give off a yellowish hue. Tea candles are small circular candles used in decorations for parties and events. If you are in need of some room decor, buy a few mason jars to put the flameless candles in. Target and Walmart have cheaper supplies, but if you prefer, Ben Franklin and Flora Dec have a larger variety of lights, jars and other decorations.

A clean room with warm lights and some light snacks are a must for a night of relaxation and comfort. is needed. Go ahead and lather up. Divulge in the Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy collection or LUSH’s luxury bath bombs. Once you scrub off all your sweat and worries, you’ll feel rejuvenated. Don’t forget to pamper yourself after your bath with a fresh face mask or a shave.

Place the jars in multiple locations throughout your room and dim your lights. If you want a quick ﬁx, download F.lux on your computer (justgetﬂux.com). F.lux automatically adjusts your screen color to the room you’re in. Whatever you choose to do, warm lights are a must for a calming night.

To have a calm mind, try to reduce the amount of blue light you see. Blue light is common in most

CALM STOMACH

Food is one of the best remedies after a long day, and it can be

paired with your favorite movie. In order to minimize the amount of times you have to get up, have food and drink within reach. This may require you to walk to the market or cook something quickly. If you are feeling lazy, grab some popcorn. If you want something more substantial, microwave some bacon and eggs. Just remember not to stuff yourself– unless you want the “kanak attack.” CALM ENVIRONMENT

The most comfortable places to relax are familiar places like your bed or the couch; it’s up to you to find the spot where you can loosen up. Next, surround yourself with pillows. Pillows are proven to alleviate some of the pain from being in certain body positions for a long period of time. If you like to watch a movie or read on your side, find a supportive pillow to hug to relieve the pressure on your shoulder. For extra comfort, cover your body with a blanket, preferably made from a thin cloth to increase relaxation and decrease sweating. Once you’ve found your place, retrieved your snacks and you are ready to divulge into some Netflix, do anything else you need to do. Fix your nails, call your family or do laundry. Finally, go ahead and settle in with your favorite book, movie or TV series. You deserve a quiet night with you and Katniss Everdeen. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

After closing about a year ago on Ala Moana Boulevard, Angelo Pietro has reopened and relocated. The Japan-based chain-restaurant that serves Japanese and Italian fusion cuisine reopened two weeks ago and is now located on 12th Avenue. There are over 60 locations in Japan and only one location in Hawai‘i. The new location in the Kaimuki neighborhood is smaller than its old location — seating about 60 people — but has similar décor and the same menu with a few new items. I have never tried Angelo Pietro before, so coming to its new location was a ﬁrst-time experience for me. We came on an early weekday afternoon for lunch, and the restaurant had a few customers inside. I had heard rave reviews from friends about Angelo Pietro, and after overhearing a customer say that he’s been waiting for them to come back, I was eager to try it. The server even remembered the customer’s order from over a year ago. The menu features a fusion of Japanese and Italian cuisines that I’ve never seen before. An item like seafood pepperoncini wasabi sauce, for example, blends Japanese-style sauce with Italian pepperoncini. Another dish was the spaghetti sukiyaki style, which combines the ingredients of sukiyaki, such as sliced beef, cabbage and sukiyaki sauce, with Italian spaghetti noodles. You’ll also be able to try a variety of salads, appetizers, pizzas, pastas and its salad dressings: shoyu, ginger, ume and sesame miso. My dining partner and I ordered the eggplant and spicy ground beef ($14.50) and the pork and eryngii spicy cream sauce ($14.50). They were both highlighted as a “Pietro recommendation” and suggested by our waiter. The eggplant and spicy ground beef was garnished with asparagus and served with pasta in a tomato and garlic oil sauce. I am a huge fan of eggplant and asparagus, so this dish was perfect for me. The egg-

plant was roasted separately from the sauce and the spicy ground beef, which served as an additional flavor when I mixed it into the sauce. The spicy ground beef had hints of herbs, such as thyme and oregano, but was not overpowering. The sauce had fresh bits of tomatoes, and there was a hint of garlic from the garlic oil. I did not expect such a depth of flavor, it ranks as one of my favorite pasta dishes. The pork and eryngii spicy cream sauce was topped with fried onions and garlic chips and served in a garlic cream sauce. Eryngii is a type of mushroom that can be found in Asia. The eryngii mushrooms did not have much taste and was masked by the flavors of the sweet pork and the light, spicy garlic cream sauce. The pork was cut yakiniku-style, and the sauce had a light creamy taste that was perfect for the combination of the spiciness and the pork. Both pastas were filled with different flavors that combined Japanese and Italian cuisines. The prices are more expensive, but I would come back to Angelo Pietro because of its interesting food combinations. RATING

Starting off on the right foot The Wahine hope to build on their recent success

SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The Rainbow Wahine have qualified for the Women’s National Invitation Tournament for three consecutive seasons. DAVID MCCRACKEN STAFF WRITER

Defeating Grand Canyon 74-41 on the road this past Friday was a good start for the University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Wahine basketball team. It marked the largest margin of victory in a season-opener since the 1997-1998 season when they defeated St. Bonaventure 83-45. But the best is yet to come. “It was good for a ﬁrst game,” senior guard Ashleigh Karaitiana said in a phone interview. “It was a good place to know where we can improve on. It’s clear what we need to improve on.” Despite holding Grand Canyon’s offense to just 41 points on 24.5 percent shooting from the ﬁeld, Karaitiana stressed the importance on improving on the defensive end of the court. Head coach

Laura Beeman wants to create turnovers so that her offense can get out and run the floor, which was something that her team did effectively on Friday. “We played with great energy and great effort, lots of things to work on but we did some things very well,” Beeman said in a phone interview. “I thought we ran the floor really well, our bigs got up and down. We shared the ball: that’s not something we’ve done very well in practice. Having the ball without turning over the ball, it was a good win.” A good win like that gives a team confidence and as Karaitiana put it, the importance of getting a road win to start out the season is “huge.” But good isn’t good enough for the Wahine. Coming off a season where they lifted the Big West reg-

ular season trophy and were just a game away from the NCAA tournament, expectations for this season’s team have skyrocketed. “Expectations have been raised, we’re gonna step up our play,” Karaitiana said. “It might not be next week or anything, but we will meet those expectations by the end of the season.”

Expectations have been raised, we’re gonna step up our play. ... we will meet those expectations by the end of the season – ASHLEIGH KARATIANA SENIOR GUARD

The Rainbow Warriors are winless in Mountain West conference games this year ZACH JOHNSON STAFF WRITER

The University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warrior football team (2-9, 0-7 MWC) has lost eight straight games and

has only one thing to play for the rest of the season: pride. Although changes are surely going to be made with the coaching staff after the season, the spotlight for these last two weeks will be focused on

like this team can compete like never before. “Kalei did a great job. Having a preseason helped her tremendously,” Beeman said. “Her basketball IQ improved and her basketball conditioning improved. “If she’s healthy, Sarah is a beast. We’ve known that for the past year and a half,” Beeman said.

returning players to see who has the talent to help this team next season. “We got two more weeks. I told the guys after the game that we are going to ﬁnd out who wants to play,” said interim head coach Chris Naoele.

“She plays incredibly hard which sometimes leads her to getting a knee to the thigh or little injuries like that which keep her out, but if

“The easy way out is to tuck your tail between your legs and hide or run, but we’ll ﬁnd out who really wants to play this game.” The Warriors have had an injury-plagued season so far, but there is no time to feel sorry for themselves. Dignity above all keeps the ‘Bows ﬁghting to try and close out the season on a high note for their two games. “Just pride. You either have it or you don’t. Like I said, a lot of guys are dinged up, our cupboard is empty as far as who is able to play right now,” Naoele said. “I just told the guys after this, either you suck it up and have pride because there are two other teams that are going to come in here and try and put the hurt on us.” For the seniors, these next two weeks might be their last in a football uniform, but they will still look to show their leadership and help out the younger players that will be competing next season. “For me individually, I’m a senior, and for a lot of the seniors on the team these are our last two guar-

she can stay healthy, she is going to be huge for us.” The Wahine have a rotation that goes 12 to 13 players deep when everyone is healthy. It’s that sort of depth that will guide the Wahine through the regular season into conference play, separating them as contenders from the other pretenders in the Big West. Above all else, the win over Grand Canyon gave this team the inspiration it needed moving forward this season. “[The win] gives everyone a little more conﬁdence to their game, but that doesn’t mean we stop growing as a team,” Karaitiana said. “We’re all ready to come home. We’re excited to be back home and play in front of a home crowd. We want to give the crowd what they want.” What do you think? Let us know @KaLeoSports

anteed football games,” senior linebacker Julian Gener said. “I might not ever play football again in my life after this.” Getting victories in the last two games could serve as an inspirational moment for the returning players to build off of for next season. “Definitely it’s a good start mentally for the guys who are coming back. And I think it builds a little bit of a foundation knowing that we got the last two of our season no matter who was there,” Gener said. “I think it would help them to grow, because we do have a lot of young guys playing. ... I am just trying to give them knowledge, anything I can, and anything they need to help them move forward for next year.” The Rainbow Warriors will try to get their first Mountain West win in their final conference contest on Nov. 21 against San Jose State, and close out the season the following week on Senior night Nov. 28 against Louisiana-Monroe. Kickoff for both games is set for 6 p.m. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i
