Hitting the pause button It’s in here

WESLEY BABCOCK / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Located on the makai side of Kuykendall Hall, The Pause Space is in Annex 6 next to Sakamaki Hall.

KAILANIANNA ABLOG STAFF WRITER

Due to potential stress and pressure from upcoming deadlines, work, and other academic or social activities, students can often be more “mind full” than “mindful.”

It is essential for one to take a step back, relax, and hit the “pause button.” However, it can be difficult to find a convenient area to do so.

Luckily for students at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, there is a place on campus where they can do just that.

A PLACE OF MINDFULNESS

The Pause Space, located in Kuykendall Annex 6, is open to any member UH community who wishes to “practice or learn mindfulness, or simply just unplug in silence for a little while,” as described on its official website.

Dr. Thao Le, associate professor in Human Development & Family Studies Program at UH Mānoa, created the space out of concern for the well-being of those in her community.

“My primary motivation to create this pause space stems from observing and caring about students’ well-being, which I have observed and my colleagues too, that they are experiencing increasing level of stress, anxiety that are hampering their ability to learn and to connect,” Le said. “Similar to a computer, sometimes our minds just need a reboot, to pause, to let go – desires, wants, expectations. If

not, it gets stuck and becomes inefficient.”

In addition to offering a place to unplug, Dr. Le’s assistant and “Pause Space” mindfulness guide Noah Pomeroy believes that it allows UH community members to practice mindfulness meditation.

“The Pause Space is a crucible where members of the UH community can come develop their potential on many fronts by cultivating the skill of mindfulness,” Pomeroy said.

According to mindful.org, mindfulness is “the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.”

Pomeroy says that mindfulness is important for people to maintain control over their thoughts and feelings.

“Mindfulness helps us cultivate the ability to be aware of our thoughts and emotions. This ultimately confers a profound freedom in which we realize that we are not our thoughts or emotions,” Pomeroy said. “We can notice unhelpful or irrational thoughts and stop giving them real estate in our minds.

We can develop a way to be with emotions without letting them completely take control.”

THE SCIENCE BEHIND MINDFULNESS MEDITATION

Having practiced mindfulness meditation himself for over 10 years, Pomeroy believes that it can change the way your brain

works, thus improving one’s mental well-being and outlook.

Recent studies about the benefits of mindfulness meditation affirm Pomeroy’s belief.

“A growing body of science is beginning to explain many of the benefits of mindfulness meditation that practitioners have long reported,” Pomeroy said. “Much of this science is based upon the principle of neuroplasticity, which refers to the capacity of the human brain to physically change as a result of mental training such as meditation.”

According to a study published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, mindfulness meditation can “dampen activity in our amygdala and increase the connections between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, both of which help us to be less reactive to stressors and to recover better from stress when we experience it.”

Another study in the journal Psychological Science reports that mindfulness meditation can also improve one’s focus and comprehension scores “while simultaneously reducing the occurrence of distracting thoughts.”

STAYING MINDFUL

The Anxiety and Depression Association of America states that 30 percent of college students “reported that stress had negatively affected their academic performance,” and that 85 percent of students “felt overwhelmed by everything they had

to do at some point.”

Due to the high levels of anxiety and stress college students can feel as a result of academic or social expectation and obligations, it is imperative that students can find ways to alleviate negative emotions that can have a major impact on their well being.

Le believes that “The Pause Space” can bring more attention toward one’s mental well-being, and help students reduce their troubles.

“We don’t really pay attention to the well being of the mind. (The Pause Space) is a place where there can be guidance on how to rest the mind,” Le said. “We don’t realize how distracted and stressed we are until we burn out. If you’re not well, it’s hard for us to learn and be with other people. Rebooting can help us … be more relaxed, have a more spacious mind and be more open to criticism ... and creativity.”

Pomeroy hopes that “The Pause Space” will encourage students to improve one’s well being and lessen negative emotions and perspectives by practicing mindfulness meditation.

“It’s my hope that the practice of mindfulness meditation continues to spread in our society and eventually becomes widely accepted as something a person should simply do on a regular basis, just like exercise, or brushing one’s teeth,” Pomeroy said. “It’s really a form of basic mental hygiene to cultivate well-being in modern life.”

“Thor: Ragnarok” The best comedy in the MCU

SOURCE: IMDB 

“Thor: Ragnarok” is the 17th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, and the 3rd “solo” film for the “God of Thunder”.

COLE POZIEMBO FEATURES CORRESPONDENT

The story is fairly straightforward, which is one of the film’s strengths.

Thor’s long-forgotten sister Hela, the Goddess of Death (Cate Blanchett), has returned to Asgard to start the Norse mythological end-ofdays called Ragnarok. It is a race against time as Thor is stranded in space and must work with the Hulk and a new character, Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), to save the innocent civilians of Asgard before the Ragnarok can come about.

Firstly, I would like to mention how much this story takes from Norse Mythology. I am mostly Scandinavian and have tried to keep in touch with some of my ancestral stories. Aside from one small part about the myth of Ragnarok that wasn’t mentioned, the story is a great adaptation of the mythology. From Fenrir the Wolf to Surtr the Fire Giant, the mythology is

brought in and appreciated in a way that I have not seen before on screen. Even the detail that was not acknowledged (Heimdall sounding the Gjallarhorn to rally the gods for battle) did not detract from the story for me.

This, for me, is one of the top three Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films. It has good pacing, the actors are very good at their portrayals of the characters and the impressive effects.

“Thor: Ragnarok” sets a precedent in my reviews in regard to my stance on CGI in films. For me, the MCU requires CGI to convey what they need to convey. It is probably a double standard on my part, but it is something I’m willing to accept. With the MCU, it’s a necessary evil to use as much CGI as they do, since much of the spectacle would be impossible.

Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo are both stellar, particularly with Ruffalo as he has to play both the CGI character of the Hulk and

the human Bruce Banner. Though he does not do the movements for the Hulk, Ruffalo still has to act out the facial expressions and the voice inflections for the performance. The Hulk’s character, with the mental and emotional capabilities of an eight-year-old, makes for some comical situations between the two leads. Lou Ferrigno also assisted with the Hulk by allowing his voice to be mixed in with Ruffalo’s, though he was not credited for his contribution. Still, I think it is a nice touch to have the original Hulk give his voice to the modern interpretation of this famous role.

Jeff Goldblum’s character is hilarious and entertaining, though sharing details here would probably spoil some of the plot. The story builds on several Marvel story arcs, including Planet Hulk, from which Goldblum’s character originates, as well as many of the film’s plot points.

A great addition to the story is Tessa Thompson’s character, whose

scenes contend for the film’s most comedic moments, and who has some of the most badass action in the movie. I found myself enjoying her portrayal and I hope to see more of her in the future.

One negative point, I feel, is that some of the comedy takes precedent over more emotional scenes, drawing dramatic tension away from an emotional moment in the film in favor of making a joke at its expense. This would not be such a problem if the film did not do it ad nauseam for secondary characters’ comedic situations. This is something others may not see as a problem but I felt it detracted from all that the story could have been.

Thor’s personality also seems to have done a complete 180 in order to create comedic moments. In “The Avengers” and other previous Thor movies, he was not really comedic himself, but instead was the buttend of comedic moments due to his lack of knowledge about Earth life

and culture. Now, he is wisecracking and sarcastic in the face of omnipotent enemies and death itself. This can be tossed aside as a detail for the film to work on, but I personally found it a bit off-putting.

“Thor: Ragnarok” is an excellent addition to the MCU. With great action, a good grounding in comedy and an overall entertaining feel, I highly recommend this film to anyone interested in the MCU. RATING

“Murder on the Orient Express” All character, no intrigue COLE POZIEMBO FEATURES CORRESPONDENT

“Murder on the Orient Express” is a new adaptation of the 1934 novel

by Agatha Christie, which already has a film adaptation from 1974 as well as a television adaptation.

The film is directed by Kenneth Branagh, who also stars as Hercule Poirot, the genius detective with a penchant for order. When a murder occurs on the luxury train, “Orient Express,” the passengers and crew are stranded in the mountains awaiting rescue, it is up to Poirot to discover who is behind the crime before the killer strikes again.

For starters, this film is gorgeous in setting and cinematography. The landscapes are captivating and immersive, with sweeping shots of the surrounding countryside and mountains. Likewise, the interior sets are well-crafted and appear accurate to the period. The cos-

tuming is also well designed and maintains the air of the film from clothing to hairstyles, particularly Daisy Ridley’s appearance, but that may just be personal bias.

The acting is far and away the greatest strength of the film, with exceptional character portrayal by a cast consisting of Ridley, Penélope Cruz, Josh Gad, Johnny Depp and Willem Dafoe, among others.

Branagh plays the eccentric main character Poirot well despite the detective’s tendency to get on the audience’s nerves with his antics and quirks.

The cinematography and the acting, however, are the extent of the film’s strengths. Note the above reference to character portrayal rather than storytelling. “Murder on the Orient Express” is a wonderfully acted character exposé populated with realistic, flawed protagonists. But they are part of a story lacking substance. The plot

does not start until about 45 minutes into the film, although it is an hour and 54 minutes total. Usually this wouldn’t be a problem, but the film doesn’t have a compelling way of introducing the aforementioned cast. Each character gives a monologue of exposition to the audience, which defines them by only their described characteristics, rather than their actions as characters.

If it were not for Google, I would not be able to recall any of the character’s names. They are simply seen as “the governess” or “the gangster,” or worse, just “Josh Gad with a mustache” or “Willem Dafoe with an accent.” As is typical in ensemble films, many characters are given their expositional monologue and then disappear into the ether until the script calls for them to return.

There is nothing inherently wrong with Branagh’s direction of this film, but it is noticeable which

actors were given more direction and attention than others. Some have to sit blankly in their seats for full scenes which are just painful to watch, as the actors seem completely out of their element.

This may have been a directorial choice as it does hearken back to films of a later time period, but it just seems out of place within the modern style of this film.

My critique of the directing could just be my pickiness, but it is still something you can’t take out of the equation when it comes to films.

Good direction can make or break a movie and, in this case, it doesn’t help this film, which was already struggling to keep itself above the bar of mediocrity.

“Murder on the Orient Express” is a passable film that, if nothing else, displays superb acting by the supporting cast. Other than the cast and the cinematic beauty of the scenery, there is not much

substance for the audience to be entertained by. For that reason, I cannot recommend this film for the general audience who wishes to be entertained by an intriguing murder-mystery where none exists.

Hawai‘i, a Vacation Conservation Destination

RANDY T. BARTLETT / ENDANGERED HAWAII LLC 

SHANNON NOELLE RIVERA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

There is no doubt that Hawai‘i is a top contender as one of the world’s most beautiful and unique locations. Each year, over 7 million people from around the world come to the Hawaiian Islands to enjoy the world-class climate, rich culture, incredible biodiversity and remarkable natural environment.

Unfortunately, what both tourists and locals alike do not realize is that Hawai‘i’s environment is quite fragile, and the beautiful island ecosystem that the world enjoys is under threat.

Fortunately, there is still time to respond to this threat on a local level, even though the federal trend is less than encouraging.

Like those on many islands, Hawai‘ i’s endemic floura and fauna evolved for millions of years without outside threats, so, when humans arrived and introduced invasive species and diseases, the natural environment did not fare well. Native or endemic Hawaiian species have been disappearing since the 7th century CE, but the race toward extinction is speeding up as impacts from climate change and increased concentrations of invasive species stress native animals, plants and ecosystems.

At the present rate of extinction, many endemic Hawaiian species, found nowhere else on the planet, will perish within our lifetime. We have already witnessed the extinction of approximately 50 percent of all Hawaiian birds, according

to World Atlas, while Division of Forestry and Wildlife reports the extinction of over 100 plant taxa Currently, hundreds of Hawaiian species are listed as endangered.

While the criteria for endangered species can include several hundred individuals, many of Hawai‘ i’s remaining species are down to the last few individuals. The Plant Extinction Prevention Program (PEPP), focuses specifically on saving Hawaiian plant species with fewer than fifty wild individuals and there are currently over 200 species on that list.

To add to the crisis, the current support for conservation is not nearly enough to combat the accumulating challenges that we face.

Globally, conservation is grossly underfunded at almost every level.

In the United States, environmental and animal-rights nonprofits received 2.87 percent of charity funding, according to the Giving USA annual report for 2016, and the budgets given to government environmental agencies are not much better.

Jason Misaki of the Division of Forestry and Wildlife reported that the Department of Land and Natural Resources, the agency tasked with protecting and managing Hawai‘i’s natural resources, receives less than 1 percent of all federal funding. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), the agency tasked with managing federally listed endangered species, receives only 3.5 percent of the estimated budget to implement recovery plans, and that money is not evenly distributed among spe-

cies, according to the results of an analysis done by the Center for Biological Diversity. This means less than 3 percent of species are going to receive proper assistance, and Hawaiian species have been historically under prioritized in ranking.

As obvious as it may seem, these budgets need to be significantly increased in order to maintain proper ecosystem function, but reality is quite the opposite.

The current U.S. administration is proposing severe cuts to all environmental agencies. While environmental agencies fend off attacks to their already overextended budgets, the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments reports that the administration is proposing an increase to defense spending by $54 billion dollars, which for reference, is more than 23 times the amount needed to implement a species recovery plan for every single endangered species in the United States!

Amidst the doom and gloom, the battle seems futile, but progress is slowly being made and conservation organizations are beginning to recognize Hawai‘ i’s tenuous and delicate condition.

In 2016, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) hosted its quadrennial World Conservation Congress in Honolulu, Hawai‘ i. It was the first time in the history of the Congress that it was held in the United States. Bringing in over 10,000 conservation professionals from over 190 countries, the conference allowed more people and organizations to focus their attention on

Hawai‘ i and our unique conservation challenges.

The Society of Conservation Biology, the largest international professional Society dedicated to the advancement of the science and practice of conserving biodiversity was one of those organizations and they initiated the formation of the Hawai‘ i Chapter of the Society for Conservation Biology in early 2017.

Hawai‘i’s Governor, David Ige, has also since become a stronger advocate for environmental issues joining the Global Island Partnership, to develop and conserve natural resources for island communities.

Recently, he made Hawai‘ i the first U.S. state to commit to the COP 21 Paris Agreement, despite federal opposition.

Hawai‘ i’s extinction crisis seems to be an amplified version of what the rest of the world is experiencing and, because of this, Hawai‘ i should be an epicenter for conservation action.

Public awareness about these serious environmental challenges is very important. Hawai‘i residents and tourists must understand that these islands as more than just a vacation destination and see it as our planet’s canary in the coal mine.

We need to take a stand as a community to no longer allow our own individual actions or the actions of decision makers dictate the fate of our environment.

We cannot afford to wait for the next administration, or for the next environmental movement, to shift priorities – we are already out of time for many species.

It is up to this generation to turn

the tides on the impending sixth mass extinction event since complex life on earth began. Hawai‘ i could potentially lead the way.

ICCB is recognized as the most important international meeting for conservation professionals and students. In 2019, the Society will host its 29th congress in Kuala Lumpur.

DISTRIBUTION OF ENDANGERED SPECIES

The Society for Conservation Biology Hawai‘ i Chapter (HI-SCB) is only one year old! HI-SCB was formed after the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) hosted its quadrennial World Conservation Congress in Hawai‘ i during September of 2016. The international organization recognized that there was no formal representation of the Society in the Hawaiian Islands, and a chapter was formed in January of 2017.

Back to his roots Wide receiver Dylan Collie credits family for his rising success

CHAVONNIE RAMOS / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Collie will be playing against his former school on Saturday, Nov. 25 at 4 p.m. HST. CHAVONNIE RAMOS SENIOR EDITOR

It was no surprise that junior wide receiver Dylan Collie would end up following in the footsteps of his family of athletes.

Football has been a major part of the redshirt junior’s life ever since he watched his father Scott, and older brothers Austin and Zac, play for Brigham Young Cougars (BYU). With a family of BYU alumni, it was also not a surprise that Collie enrolled in the school and football program back in 2012 to continue the Collie family legacy.

“I’m very grateful for BYU and the opportunity that they gave me to grow up, and to be in that locker room from the time I was six years old to the time I was twenty,” Collie said.

In the past, Collie played multiple positions on Oak Ridge High School’s football team. As a senior, he caught 47 passes for 660 yards and eight touchdowns. He also rushed for 179 yards and three touchdowns. Besides having experience at receiver and safety, he also played quarterback in his senior

year due to injuries. At quarterback, he passed for 345 yards and five touchdowns. To wrap up his high school career, he earned firstteam all-Delta River League and all-Metro honors back in 2011.

The 5’-10, 175 pound junior had received offers from Oregon, Washington, the University of California at Los Angeles and Weber State, but eventually committed to BYU. Collie spent one season with the Cougars as a member of its scout team. However, after a two-year mission trip in Richmond, Virginia, Collie decided to take a different route and transfer from BYU to Hawai‘i.

Little did Collie know that former head coach Norm Chow had a scholarship, and a spot, for him on the Rainbow Warrior football team for the 2015 season. Chow was also an assistant coach at BYU while Collie’s father was on the team.

With his sister and brother-inlaw living in Kapolei, it was an easy transition and a place where he could be rooted.

“I knew that this is a place that I wanted to be at,” Collie said.

He credits his success as an athlete to his father and brothers.

“They are the greatest examples of what it means to be men, and what it means to be fathers and husbands,” Collie said.

His older brother Austin had made a name for himself and went on to play 49 career NFL games for the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots.

“As I go about my daily life, I look to them for how to be a great husband to my wife, and how to be a future father.”

Collie also utilizes his mission experiences on and off the football field. Being away for two years on a mission for his church has taught him a lot about himself, and others.

In his past years at the University of Hawai‘i, Collie appeared in all games and is moving up the board as one of the team’s lead receivers. So far, he has caught 474 yards up in the air and recorded four touchdowns.

During his freshman campaign, he ranked third on the team for receptions (29) and yards (342), averaging 11.8 yards per catch. In his sopho-

more year, he played all games as a slot receiver, including one start.

Wrapping up the 2017 season will be Collie’s chance to step up as a role model for the team. The seniors have taught him about overcoming obstacles and challenges, especially since the team has not been as successful as they hoped this year. Determination and the ability to overcome is something that has impacted Collie.

“Just do your individual job and when you do that, you’ll be able to affect the people and team around you in a positive way,” Collie said.

Aside from football, this communications major has his eyes set on becoming a sports reporter.

“I feel like I’m a good communicator and I love football, and I love talking football and I can see that being one of my prime options,” Collie said.

Collie still has one season left with the ‘Bows, but after that, who knows? Will he return to a much different field of sports and become one of the next big sportscasters?

One last time for the seniors Rainbow Warriors seek senior night win against BYU CHAVONNIE RAMOS SENIOR EDITOR

It has been a year of twists and turns for the Hawai‘i football team, and with the season coming to a close with senior night, the Rainbow Warriors hope to end on a positive note.

Twenty seniors will wrap up their careers as Rainbow Warriors, playing on their home field in front of friends, family and fans. The University of Hawai‘i football team will have its final showdown against the Brigham Young Cougars (BYU) at 4 p.m. on Nov. 25 at Aloha Stadium.

UH (3-9, 1-7, Mountain West Conference) ended its Mountain West schedule after a 38-0 loss to Utah State (5-6, 4-3 MWC) on Nov. 18 at Maverick Stadium. With the win, Utah State gained bowl eligibility and handed UH its fourth consecutive loss of the season.

Meanwhile, BYU (3-9) is coming off a 10-16 loss against the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Minutemen (4-7). The Minutemen had seven sacks and four interceptions, handing the Cougars its first homegame loss since 2005.

BYU is currently part of the independent Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), and ranks last out of the three other schools in the division, while UH ranks sixth in the Mountain West division.

THE MATCHUP

After BYU’s junior quarterback Tanner Mangum and sophomore backup Beau Hoge were sidelined for the season with injuries, freshman Joe Critchlow became the fifth freshman to start a game at quarterback. Critchlow has thrown 476 passing yards and two touchdowns

so far. Last week against UMASS, Critchlow was running for his life, being sacked seven times, and only completing 21 of 45 passes for 257 yards and a touchdown.

The BYU offense that drove them to their 31-21 win against the University of Nevada at Las Vegas was missing.

Meanwhile, Hawai‘i quarterback Dru Brown remains third in the MWC with 2,527 yards on 226 completions and 16 touchdowns. Freshman backup quarterback Cole McDonald had his fair share of field time last week, throwing 3 of 5 for 18 yards, and rushing for a gain of 45.

BYU junior running back Squally Canada has rushed for 597 yards and four touchdowns. Hawai‘ i senior running back Diocemy Saint Juste continues to dominate the stat lines while rushing for 1,471 yards and seven touchdowns.

Saint Juste has been one of the biggest contributors to the team this season as he became the second UH running back to eclipse the 3,000 career rushing mark.

Senior linebacker Fred Warner leads the Cougars in total tackles with 82, and accounted for nine tackles for loss, one sack and two forced turnovers that led to a fumble and interception. Warner was also elected as one of the team captains this season, and started in all 11 games this year.

Hawai‘i junior linebacker Jahlani Tavai racked up 112 total tackles this year, with 67 of them solo. Tavai has also accounted for nine tackles for loss, four sacks and one fumble return for 15 yards. Sophomore linebacker Solomon Matautia leads UH with three interceptions for 83 yards and one touchdown.

The last time that the ‘Bows beat the Cougars was in 2001, in the June Jones era when current head coach Nick Rolovich was the ‘Bows quarterback. At that time, BYU came into the game undefeated at 12-0, ranked and bowl bound. However, led by Rolovich’s 543 passing yards and eight touchdowns, UH handed the Cougars its first loss in a blowout victory of 72-45.

BYU currently leads the series against UH, 21-8, with a current winning streak of three. In the last meeting, the Cougars overwhelmed the ‘Bows in a 47-0 win in 2012 during Norm Chow’s years as head coach.

The Rainbow Warriors will honor its seniors who have fought hard through the season’s difficulties and challenges. Kick-off is slated for 4 p.m. with the special senior ceremony to follow the game.

SPORTS COVER STORY

Three-headed monster leads ‘Bows Thomas, Johnson and Purchase help Warriors start 3-0

GARRETT HILLYER / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Jack Purchase (12) represents one-third of Hawai‘ i’s emerging ‘Big 3.’

GARRETT HILLYER SENIOR EDITOR

For the first time since the 20102011 season, the University of Hawai‘ i Rainbow Warriors basketball team is off to a 3-0 start, in large part due to its formidable front court of Mike Thomas, Gibson Johnson and Jack Purchase. Combining excellent court vision and offensive efficiency, the trio helped the ‘Bows win the 2017 Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic last week, and look poised to lead the team to even more wins this season.

Through three games this year, Thomas, Johnson and Purchase have been the ‘Bows leading scorers, respectively, with each averaging at least 11 points over that stretch, with Thomas at the top with 18.7 per. They are also dead even for first place on the squad in rebounding, with each averaging seven.

However, for all their individual skills, it is the way that the trio play with one another and the rest of the ‘Bows squad that makes them so deadly.

“The good thing about the front court we have,” says Johnson, “ is that everybody can pass. So it’s size with passers, and then (if the opposing defense plays) in a zone, if you have bigs that can pass, that’s what tends to be the thing that brings [opponents] down.

We’re going to get open shots.”

In short, when opposing defenses attempt to clamp down on any one of the trio, each has the keen ability to swing the ball to an open man.

Perhaps the best passer among the three is Purchase, who leads the team in assists with 5.3 per game. “To me, passing is the most

Purchase’s passing and shooting ability helps spread the floor for his front court mates to dominate in the paint. fun part of the game,” Purchase says. “I love getting the assist. I love seeing other people score. It’s good when you got people who can finish and make it look even better for you.” Purchase is an effective high-volume shooter, and led the ‘Bows last year with 72 three-pointers made.

Purchase’s passing and shooting ability helps spread the floor for his front court mates to dominate in the paint. Thomas and Johnson have torched opponents as of late, leading the ‘Bows in field goal percentage at 53 and 52, respectively.

Johnson is perhaps the most multidimensional of the trio, serving as a do-everything power forward who can work the post, step out for a mid-range jumper and protect the rim on defense. So far, he leads the team in blocks with one per contest.

Thomas is undoubtedly the bruiser of the bunch, an offensive force on the low block who can bully opponents for rebounds and get the ball back in the cylinder. Thomas is the ‘Bows leading offensive rebounder with over 3 per game.

That said, the ‘Bows are still just three games into the season, and it remains to be seen if the team and its triumvirate of skilled men can keep up this pace.

Head Coach Eran Ganot seems optimistic that they will. “They set the tone,” Ganot says of his front court trio. “It’s amazing, but it’s not so surprising. We know Jack (Purchase) is one of the best ... passers at his position. Gibson (Johnson) is certainly one of the best passers at the five position. I don’t know if we have as many ‘go-to’ guys, we might in certain games, but we certainly have balance and that’s our advantage.”

Perhaps Ganot is right, and the ‘Bows do not have any one particular ‘go-to’ guy. Then again, who needs one when you have three?

The Final Countdown The Rainbow Warriors continue to work hard and play hard through tough times CHAVONNIE RAMOS SENIOR EDITOR

The University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warrior football team was predicted to finish second in the Mountain West Conference’s West Division for this season with 135 votes, according to a media poll released by the league’s Media Summit, but it appears that they’ll finish second ... to last.

After finishing the 2016 season at 7-7, 4-4 (MWC), fans expected the team to repeat those results in head coach Nick Rolovich’s second year. It looked promising when UH opened up the 2017 season posing a 2-0 mark.

That has not been the case for this year. A two-game winning streak was the best that the team could get. They experienced a series of losing skids after that.

The football team faced difficult opponents this season and came up short in many games. Nevertheless, they continued to go into every game with Rainbow Warrior pride.

“Even in tough times, they continue to play hard and work hard for each other,” Rolovich said.

Although UH’s win record this season may not be what fans expected, that should not be a

reason to stop supporting the program. This program has seen, and will continue to see, success throughout the years.

The ‘Bows had to deal with the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) who is currently No. 4 in the Pac-12 south conference. That game ended in a 23-56 loss at the Rose Bowl on Sept. 9.

Penalties and turnovers have hurt the ‘Bows, especially during the Mountain West opener against Wyoming in Laramie. Besides dealing with the 7,200 foot altitude at War Memorial Stadium, UH dealt with an 84 yard touchdown being called back, and a pass being tipped and pickedoff during overtime. Rolovich noted that the Wyoming game was one that the team learned the most from.

The only conference win that the ‘Bows have is winning homecoming against the San Jose State Spartans, 37-26. This was a light at the end of the tunnel after a 21-35 road loss against the Nevada Wolf Pack.

After that, UH faced the two top schools in the Mountain West, San Diego State University and Fresno State. It was a battle, but they stuck together again regardless of the outcome.

Despite having no bowl game this year, the ‘Bows still continue

to push forward.

“They’ve been through a lot of ups and downs, and for them to continue to play as hard as they are, and their sacrifice for this team and their fans, I think that shows a lot about how they are as people,” Rolovich said.

Notable players have had their seasons cut short due to injuries.

Star sophomore and slot receiver John Ursua ended his season early when he tore the ACL in his right knee during Hawai‘ i’s game against San Jose State. At the time, Ursua ranked sixth in the country for receiving yards per game (111.2 yds), and led UH with 47 receptions for 667 yards and five touchdowns.

Offensive lineman Fred UluPerry and tight end Metuisela ‘Unga’s seasons were also cut short due to injuries.

SOPHOMORE SLUMPS

Sophomore slumps have haunted past head coaches in the program. It’s Rolovich’s second season as head coach, and he’s met the same fate as his predecessors.

In his first year, Rolovich flipped the script and led the ‘Bows to finish 7-7 (4-4 MWC) in 2016. It was the first time that UH has won in the

ONE FOR THE BOOKS

does not focus on his carry count, but instead works hard to ensure that UH wins games.

With Saint Juste getting most of the attention for his quick dashes to the end zone and record breaker, the offensive line (OL) should be credited for their hard work. Offensive linemen like senior John Wa‘a are what Rolovich considers “underthe-radar” type players who should get more credit for their efforts.

Although Dejon Allen gets most of the attention on the OL, Rolovich says that Wa’a is a guy that “comes in and works hard.”

Even if the current team can’t replicate players like Rolovich, Timmy Chang, Chad Owens, Gary Allen and Colt Brennan, they have seen their fair share in rising stars and leaders who have made their way into UH’s history books.

Senior running back Diocemy Saint Juste leads the ‘Bows this season with 1,471 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. He’s the second Rainbow Warrior to eclipse over 3,000 yards in his entire career with the ‘Bows.

During Hawai‘i’s 37-26 homecoming victory against San Jose State, Saint Juste also set a school record and career high of 39 carries. However, the soft-spoken Saint Juste

With many seniors leaving due to graduation, the ‘Bows will have big shoes to fill next season.

“It’s going to be hard and they don’t have to be the next Diocemy, they just need to be the best versions of themselves that they can be,” Rolovich said.

The spring camp will be an opportunity for the younger players on the team to blossom into rising stars.

So for the Rainbow Warrior’s season finale, let’s work as hard as they do to pack the house and send off the seniors that have been in this program through its ups and downs.

Hawai‘ i Bowl since 2006.

Rolovich played as a quarterback under June Jones and was an assistant coach under Greg McMackin. Both McMackin and Jones led the team to a bowl game in their first seasons, but suffered a losing record the next year. In contrast, Norm Chow was 3-9 in his first year, and 1-11 in the second.

Rolovich has the experience and credentials to lead the Warriors to success. A coach can only become better from their mistakes.

Skipping breakfast All risk, no reward

WESLEY BABCOCK / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

As with any meal, breakfast should be a balance of whole grains, lean protein, low-fat dairy and fruits and vegetables, according to the Mayo Clinic.

QUINCI SALVADOR CONTRIBUTING WRITER

We have all been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. While not all nutrition professionals are fervent proponents of this, there is a consensus that eating a healthy, balanced breakfast is generally a good idea.

It is estimated that almost half of all college students skip breakfast. Between all the exams, assignments and snooze buttons, it is easy to forgo this vital meal. Most students cite a lack of time as the main reason for skipping breakfast.

Other common reasons include lack of hunger, lack of money and weight control. But breakfast affects both our physiological and psychological state and can have long-term impacts on our health.

WHILE YOU SLEEP

Although sleep is generally regarded as an uneventful state, physiologically the opposite is true.

While the body is in a fasting mode, it works hard to support life-sustaining and metabolic processes as well as recover and repair tissues. To carry out all of these pro-

cesses, the body draws on energy from blood glucose, glycogen and free fatty acids, thus depleting its stores. Glucose, a monosaccharide, is the most important readily available source of fuel for body cells.

Brain cells and red blood cells rely

Missing breakfast can also cause an increase in cortisol levels, a stress hormone. Generally, cortisol levels peak after waking, and eating breakfast helps to lower them. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, found that

Regular breakfast consumption may reduce the risk of chronic disease by positively impacting our food choices and activities. solely on glucose for energy. Glycogen, the main form of carbohydrate storage in your body, can be converted to glucose.

SHORT-TERM EFFECTS

Soon after waking, you must replenish your body’s stores of blood glucose and glycogen by eating. If not, blood glucose levels will not be restored and you may experience fatigue, confusion, shakiness, inability to concentrate and mood changes such as anger or anxiety. These symptoms might sound familiar if you have ever been “hangry,” which is a terrible way to start the day.

females who skipped a morning meal had higher circulating levels of cortisol and blood pressure throughout the day. Another possible short-term effect is decreased metabolism. When in a fasting state for too long, your body goes into a sort of starvation mode, trying to store as many calories as possible.

Without breakfast, you are essentially running on empty.

LONG-TERM EFFECTS

In addition to the short-term effects that result from not eating a morning meal, there are also long-term health risks. Numerous studies have shown that it is asso-

ciated with increased risk of type II diabetes, high blood pressure, high triglyceride levels, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, heart attack, atherosclerosis and obesity.

It is thought that the increased risk of these conditions stems from the effects of prolonged fasting on blood glucose.

BENEFITS OF EATING A HEALTHY BREAKFAST

Regular breakfast consumption may reduce the risk of chronic disease by positively impacting our food choices and activities.

Researchers at Fukuoka University found that people who eat breakfast are more physically active and burn more calories than breakfast skippers. People who do not eat breakfast are more likely to compensate by eating more at lunch and dinner, whereas people who eat breakfast are more likely to make better food choices.

A recent study conducted at the Northumbria University found that eating breakfast before exercise has a positive effect on mood and allowed better appetite control in college-aged women. Researchers at Harvard University found that

eating breakfast was associated with a 27 percent decrease in the risk of heart disease in men.

BREAKFAST RECOMMENDATIONS

Not all breakfasts are created equal. Try to incorporate lean protein, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and fruits or vegetables. If you are pressed for time, prepare the night before and simplify your morning routine. Breakfast can be something as simple as a banana with peanut butter, avocado on whole grain toast, boiled egg, instant oatmeal or yogurt with granola. If you do not have time to eat at home, pack it to-go and eat on the way to or during class. At the very least, throw a granola bar or a bag of trail mix in your bag the night before so you do not even have to think about preparing breakfast in the morning.

Breaking your fast does not have to be complicated – find quick and simple ways that work for you.
