‘We have culture in common but also science’ Other minority groups continue to advocate for diversity in STEM KEVIN HARRISON STAFF WRITER

The O‘ahu chapter of the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) and its members won ﬁve awards at a national conference for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). “[SACNAS] works to create a new STEM environment where minority scientists don’t feel they have to leave their cultures at the lab door,” said Austin Shelton, a SACNAS Board of Directors student member and UH Mānoa Ph.D. candidate, in an email. Shelton said the chapter, called ‘Ilima, won Chapter of the Year and three members won presentation awards. He also said Healani Chang, of the UH Paciﬁc Biosciences Research Center, won the Distinguished Mentor Award. He said chapters across the country provide leadership training, mentoring, network opportunities and outreach programs for their members. “I hope that UH Mānoa students will realize that even though we might be from a small state, we can have an impact on a national level,” Narrissa Spies, president of ‘Ilima, said. SACNAS ON O‘AHU

Unlike other mainland chapters, Spies said ‘Ilima is not centered around one university – they take members from all universities across O‘ahu. She said ‘Ilima is unique in its incorporation of culture into science. “I think that being in a place like Hawai‘ i where culture is so strong,

that it’s kind of a natural rallying point for us to come together. We have culture in common but also science,” she said. Spies said the scientiﬁc community should be more inclusive of those members of minority groups who want to contribute to science and can bring cultural perspectives. “The current representation of scientists in all ﬁelds is predominantly Caucasian and male; it is not a representation of the current population of people living in America,” she said. Shelton said ‘Ilima brings an island perspective to SACNAS and that ‘Ilima works to train a diverse

set of thinkers to solve the medical and environmental issues on O‘ahu. She said that ‘Ilima engages in community outreach by taking school and community groups to wildlife refuges to study native plants and protect endangered species. She also said they go to preschools and high schools to judge science fairs and showcase marine life. Spies said ‘Ilima is a place where its members can lean on each other for support in their education and do something positive with their studies.

WOMEN IN STEM

The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is a national organization that works to empower women in education and the workforce across the country. The AAUW recently released a report detailing the underrepresentation of women in STEM ﬁelds. According to this report, women made up 30 percent of computer professionals and 12 percent of engineers in 2013. “It’s a complex issue; there are a lot of social and cultural factors that cause the underrepresentation of women in STEM,” said Joanna Amberger, president of the Hawai‘ i AAUW chapter.

Amberger said the United States needs to increase its talent pool in the STEM community and if half the population is ignored, half of the perspectives are also ignored. She said that AAUW works to ensure the voices of women are heard so that greater innovation and productivity can be achieved. According to Amberger, the Hawai‘i chapter hosts a “Tech Savvy” camp at Windward Community College to engage young girls in the STEM ﬁeld by exposing them to technology. She said that women in the STEM ﬁeld need to start young so they can con-

Demolition and changes Finding a fix for College of Education buildings

NICOLE TAM STAFF WRITER

Following safety concerns about College of Education (COE) buildings in October, there is still no permanent solution for a safer

learning community. While four COE lab portable buildings are already in place, funding has been requested towards the purchase of additional modules and is expected to happen next month, according to Donald Young, COE dean.

Although some COE buildings such as Everly Hall and Wist Hall have been renovated in the past, facilities standing are causing inconvenience to educators like Pauline Chinn, a curriculum studies professor.

tinue in it for their entire lives. She also said the Hawai‘i chapter offers tuition and research scholarships for women in Hawai‘i colleges and universities and a scholarship for a pilot’s license. Amberger said that the Hawai‘ i chapter will also be advocating for

greater diversity in STEM and the workforce during the next Hawai‘ i state legislative session. Amberger said that the AAUW encourages women to enter ﬁelds like STEM that offer growth opportunities and economic viability.

“Those of us who teach in University High School One have been dispersed to other rooms. I’m in the UH Lab School, for example, across from the cafeteria. It’s not optimal,” Chinn said in an email. According to Christine Sorensen, professor for the Department of Learning Design and Technology at UH Mānoa, a temporary laboratory space has been identiﬁed in the Biomedical Sciences building for use to teach science classes for COE students in Spring 2016. The Castle Memorial building, which has been used as a preschool teacher training facility, will also be renovated in the near future based on available funding.

appropriate spaces for COE art students and additional portable buildings, and storage for art and science materials are still underway. “The faculty are advocating for a new classroom building to meet instructional needs in the College of Education,” Sorensen said in an email. As for COE Building One and Two that are closed permantly, money was set aside in budget of about $100,000 to tear down the buildings. Part of the budget request was submitted to governor’s ofﬁce, and might be included in the overall budget. “We will have to see if [the governor] includes in his budget and at that point, there’s also other ways UH can get funding from a state legislature,” UH spokesman Dan Meisenzahl said in a phone interview. The legislative budget session runs from January to May of 2016, and results are set to be announced towards the end of the session.

I finished my lab report but barely slept CARLY YASHIKI STAFF WRITER

Paying thousands of dollars for tuition, passing classes and getting good grades is a priority. For those who are planning to attend graduate school, exceptional grades and test scores are crucial for acceptance. Parents, professors and colleagues push students to do well in school, but how much is too much? Doing well in college is a primary focus for many students. This means that there is limited room for free time, and in many cases, health is sacriﬁced to meet academic standards. Grades are important, maybe even worth staying in on a Friday night.

This drug is composed of Dextroamphetamine and amphetamine. Some side effects include agitation, insomnia and anxiety; and is highly addictive. According to the Medicine Abuse Project, Adderall affects 31 percent of college students by heightening alertness and attention, making it a popular drug of choice among college students who have multiple exams and assignments to account for. Negative short-term effects include weight loss, a suppressed appetite, trouble sleeping and cardiac issues. Long-term effects can

Por qué? KEVIN ALLEN STAFF WRITER

Choosing to learn a second language in college can be fun and exciting. Being required to take a second language to fulﬁll graduation requirements stinks. In the whirlwind of exams and homework, second language courses ask a lot from already stressed students. Learning statistics or marine biology is hard enough without requiring students to learn an entirely new language that they’ll likely never speak ﬂuently. Sure there’s that one kid who falls in love with a language and goes on to the higher courses, but the majority won’t, and why would they? There isn’t a need in the adverage person’s day to use a second language. Think for a second – when was the last time you needed the ability to speak a foreign language?

NUMBERS DON’T LIE

The General Social Survey asked over 4,000 respondents if they could speak a language other than English, their perceived level of ﬂuency and where they learned to speak that language. More than 25 percent of respondents knew a second language, with 41.5 percent

mended amount of sleep. However, lack of sleep should be avoided by better planning and preparation. On average, an adult needs anywhere from 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep, according to the CDC. On a college student’s schedule, some people may be lucky to get ﬁve hours. Not getting enough sleep can have its downturns since sleep is necessary for the body to function normally. Without sleep, the immune system is weakened. “Half of the reason you’re at college really is to learn,” said James Knepler, associate professor of the University of Cincinnati, who stresses that lack of sleep can interfere with a college student’s learning capabilities. Not getting enough sleep can

DON’T STUDY HARD, STUDY SMART

Taking regular studying breaks is important, as over-studying can be an issue, because our brains need a break to maximize productivity. MIT recommends taking regular study breaks lasting from 20-30 minutes. Also, break up subjects into 50-minute intervals, and don’t study similar material consecutively. This will

ensure that brain waves do not have any interference with relating topics. To prevent all-nighters, get rid of procrastination by mapping out a realistic study schedule. Study at least a week prior to an exam, allowing time to get help. Also, make sure that your environment is free of distractions, which includes social media, text messages and the worst one of all – Netﬂix. Make daily goals to ensure whatever needs to be done gets completed on time to prevent these bad habits that stem from last-minute studying.

in elementary school. The critical period hypothesis is a widely accepted theory that the acquisition of a second language is biologically linked to age and that there is an ideal window for an individual to learn a foreign language. The “window” for a human to learn a second language is from

ages 6 to 13, and those who’ve passed this “window” will have a much more difﬁcult time acquiring a second language. By this study’s standards, unless you’re ages six to 13, you’ve missed your chance. It’s not your fault; you just didn’t know. WHO CARES?

According to Jaclyn Bernard of Carnegie Mellon University, a key aspect in learning a second language is motivation, which has been “linked to higher grades and achievement in school.” It also happens to be something most college students lack when it comes to the ﬁeld of foreign languages. Taking any course that seems unnecessary to a student’s major can decrease his or her overall morale, and it doesn’t help that he or she has to take and pay for second language courses for a minimum of four semesters. Add in external stresses caused by other

courses, and it’s a miracle any student has the motivation to learn a second language. Having students learn second languages isn’t a bad thing. It broadens their world views and makes them more marketable to employers. The problem is that many universities, including the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, require students to take them without a choice. This stipulation UH Mānoa puts on their undergraduates can often lead to them trying to take classes with lenient professors or worse, changing to a major that doesn’t require second language courses. Universities need to allow students to direct their own education.

Dear UH Athletics, stay away from our wallets SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The Board of Regents wants to increase the student athletic fee from $50 to $100. IRENE FANG ASSOCIATE OPINIONS EDITOR

Ka Leo recently published an article about the Board of Regents (BOR) is considering an increase in the student athletic fee from $50 to $100. Athletics affects only affects a minority of the student body. The fact that the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa would turn to ﬁnancially strapped students to pay for it is outrageous, unfair and contributes to UH Mānoa’s dismal academic reputation. UH Athletics sports, with a few exceptions — such as women’s volleyball — are unsustainable. Students who want an education are not responsible for systematic failures and “Hawai‘i-only” (travel costs) problems faced by UH Athletics. The BOR and other UH executives seem desperate to improve the athletics program, fail to acknowledge ﬁnancial realities and the student body’s apathy towards athletics. COST OF A COMPETITIVE TEAM

Football takes the biggest chunk out of the Mānoa Athletic Depart-

ment (MAD) funds, according to the Financial State of Athletics report, with a total 2014 expenditure of $8.9 million. That is more than four times the second-highest expenditure sport, with men’s basketball coming in at just over $2 million. If UH Mānoa cut football, MAD could be sustained with students paying lower or no athletic fees. Barring the debate on whether Division I football is proﬁtable, UH Mānoa does not spend enough and will not be able to match a mid-ranking NCAA football team, even if we doubled student fees. Mid-ranked University of Washington (UW) spent almost $30 million, as reported by PointAfter.com, which is roughly how much a university should spend on a competitive football team. However, there are no UW athletic fees. Reported by Husky Athletics, 97 percent of the athletic program is self-sustained, with the remaining three percent coming from the state. In fact, four of the top ﬁve NCAA ranked schools in Texas, Michigan, Alabama and Ohio State charge no student ath-

letic fees, as reported by USA Today. This shows that good athletic programs pay for themselves, or at least do not burden the students. If UH Mānoa wants to be competitive, they need to ﬁnd $30 million and a way to sustain themselves. Increasing student athletic fees from $50 to $500 would be a more

In order to receive financial aid, students are required to submit a FAFSA form, in which they must divulge thorough tax and income details of their entire family. College is usually not paid for by one individual – it’s paid by a student’s family. The fact that so many students are receiving financial aid means that a majority of UH Mānoa students’ families are making sacrifices for their children’s education – not for a good football team. This is not the fault of MAD, but rather of the BOR and those who control the appropriation of funds. While $50 may not seem significant in the context of thousands of dollars (or tens of thousands for outof-state students) in tuition, many students scrimp on food and other necessities to save money and lighten burdens on their families, such as subsisting on saimin and Taco Bell. To double the cost of an unnecessary sport only adds insult to injury and is a slap in the face to financially struggling students and their families. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Fall espresso drinks near campus SHANNON VUILLEMOT INTERN

Ikaika Shiveley Features Editor

Spencer Oshita Associate Features Editor

Fall is here, and although Hawai‘i doesn’t have regular seasons like the mainland, the weather could get slightly chillier. If you‘ve let your grades slip in the party month that is October, don’t worry, you have a study buddy: that wonderful little substitute for sleep called caffeine. Yes, the basic girl fall drink called a Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) is back, available at the Starbucks in Campus Center. But if you’re feeling like you want to get away, then you can visit these different coffee shops. All are great for studying and have a variety of specialty fall espresso drinks.

MORNING GLASS

COFFEE TALK

GLAZERS COFFEE

Located in the heart of Mānoa is Morning Glass, a coffee shop known for serving Stumptown Coffee and incredible food. Morning Glass is an open space that is popular among students. The free Wi-Fi and nice breeze makes it an awesome place to bring your computer and sip on some coffee while getting some work done. The perfect drink for a Hawai‘i fall is an Iced Cinnamon Latte. The cinnamon syrup used to make this drink is housemade by boiling cinnamon sticks in sugar. The Cinnamon Latte is the Morning Glass’ staff favorite. The slight spice of the cinnamon is complemented by the ice that cools the drink down, making it perfect for a warm November day.

Coffee Talk is a Kaimukī staple that takes up a whole street corner. The spacious joint is bright, with natural lighting from its many windows. There are different areas available for doing homework or talking with friends. The art on the walls is funky, with bold statement paintings and hanging circular lamps provide cool mood lighting to the space. A festive drink to try at Coffee Talk is the Gingerbread Latte. It has hints of brown sugar, some nuttiness and spices. It’s a warming treat that is perfect to get you going for the study season before the holidays. Drinking it is deﬁnitely reminiscent of spiced cookies being pulled out of the oven. For another holiday treat sure to delight, be sure to try the Eggnog Latte, which they make with real eggnog.

Glazers Coffee is a coffee shop on South King Street by Puck’s Alley. When I visited, many students were there hard at work. The atmosphere is relaxed, using dark wood accents and dim lighting to give off a romantic coffee shop vibe. Jazz love songs playing softly over the speakers added to the effect. This coffee shop is a perfect study place with Wi-Fi and it is only a short walk from campus. For an espresso drink perfect for the fall, try their Mocha Valencia. It is a rich mocha with orange syrup, providing a dark chocolate taste with a hint of citrus and orange blossomy aftertaste. The Mocha Valencia reminds one of a chocolate covered candied orange slice that you would ﬁnd in a stocking on Christmas morning.

hydrates and sodium.

When you don’t meet your nutrient and energy requirements you can either slowly or quickly go into a deﬁciency. – DR. JOANNIE DOBBS UH MĀNOA ASSISTANT SPECIALIST FOR FOOD COMPOSITION AND HEALTH EDUCATION

ANTONINA JAVIER / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Looking at the Nutrition Facts is the best way to view the three main components. ANTONINA JAVIER STAFF WRITER

Realistically, I eat for convenience rather than for nutrition. It’s not something I’m particularly proud of, but I’m often too busy to care. Unfortunately, hiking days are no different. Because my hikes start early in the morning, I like to get as much sleep as possible. My prehike breakfast is usually a banana, water and a granola bar for an on-the-trail snack.

To uncover the nutritional pros and cons, I brought several bars (Clif Bar, GoMacro, Epic Jerky Bar, The Paleo Diet bar, Kind Granola Square and a pack of Honey Stinger Energy Chews) to Dr. Joannie Dobbs, UH Mānoa’s assistant specialist for Food Composition and Health Education – she did not look satisﬁed. “The most important thing anyone can do is meet their essential nutrient requirements and their energy requirements,” Dobbs said. “When you don’t do that, when you

don’t meet your nutrient and energy requirements you can either slowly or quickly go into a deﬁciency.” Dobbs split the bars, putting the nutritionally-acceptable trail snacks — Clif Bar, Epic Jerky Bar and The Paleo Diet bar — on the right. The nutritionally-insufﬁcient trail snacks — GoMacro, Kind Granola Square and Honey Stinger Energy Chews — went on the left. To make the judgment on each snack, Dobbs looked at three main categories: calories, carbo-

ditions and specific to one’s body. For example, on the same hike, a hiker might sweat more on a sunny day rather than on an overcast day. More energy will be burned on a hike with a steeper incline than on a flat road hike. It is important for a hiker to eat according to what they know about their body and what the current hiking conditions are. One general rule of thumb Dobbs provided is that for every flat mile, a hiker will burn about 100 calories. To ensure the proper supply of nutritional needs and to refrain from depleting the body’s stores, a hiker

sports drink will help with diminishing energy and sodium supplies. When discussing calories and dietary restrictions, Dobbs said for someone that’s young and a hiker, calories and energy are needed. “You burn more than you think on a hike,” she said. There are opinions for eating healthy on the trail. “Make a trail mix with nuts or take dried fruit,” Dobbs said. “But get those calories in, get the carbs and get the sodium. All of it.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

This creates a problem; if there’s no poke or pickled mango around – it’s basically a crime. How many times has one of your friends or family on the mainland said something along the lines of, “I want to visit you in Hawai‘ i, but it’s too expensive” or that they don’t have the time?

A popular local brand is Hawaiian Isles Kona Coffee Company with prices ranging around $11 for a 10 oz. bag. Kona coffee can be purchased at local supermarkets or ordered online.

Flavored seeds are a perfect go-to snack. Since they do not need to be refrigerated, they also are ideal to ship. In Hawai‘i, the Crack Seed Store sells an assortment of seeds along with a vast selection of li hing mui sweets and local snacks. Located at 1156 Koko Head Avenue, with prices under $10, buying snacks from this company is affordable. Many local treats are sold here, including wet li hing mui, pickled apricot and pickled mango.

Ka Leo O Hawai‘i is the campus newspaper of the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa. It is published by the Student Media Board weekly except on holidays and during exam periods. Circulation is 10,000. Ka Leo is also published once a week during summer sessions with a circulation of 5,000. Ka Leo is funded by student fees and advertising.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR The holidays are here. Thanksgiving is in a few days, and Christmas is right around the corner. The time has come for us to spend copious amounts of money in order to prove to one another that we care. Nothing says, “I love you,” like a discounted tchotchke you fought an old lady for at Walmart on Black Friday. However, instead of clawing at people in superstores, why not fight for some products made here in Hawai‘ i? You can support your local businesses and economy while maintaining an American consumerist lifestyle. The prices may be a little higher than what you find at national department stores, but you’ll feel better about yourself for buying locally, and, at the end of the day, your ego is all that really matters. So browse this Buy Local edition of Ka Leo, and you’ll find plenty of articles that will help you select the best local products that you can give as gifts to loved ones or yourself this holiday season. Do you have friends and family on the mainland who always say they want to visit you in Hawai‘i but never do? Instead of having them dish out hundreds of dollars for a plane trip, just send them a package full of local love. Page 9 will help you select some of the best local products to send their way. Finals week is coming up quickly, so plenty of people will be rushing to get a caffeine fix. Page 13 highlights a number of locations in Hawai‘i that grow coffee, and features some of the companies that sell it. Our website discusses the gentrification of Kaka‘ako and describes the Honolulu Night Market and some of its vendors. For those of you wanting to get spruced up for the holidays, page 9 outlines companies that sell locally sourced beauty products and clothing. Page 10 highlights vendors at the Aloha Stadium swap meet and the website will give you several questions to ask vendors at farmers markets to ensure what you’re buying is actually local. For those who want general info on how to help support local businesses, page 10 provides several tips for doing just that.

Five ways to support local businesses Make ‘going local’ a breeze with some simple tips

MASON HIGA STAFF WRITER

Supporting local businesses seems like an easy decision, considering that over half of Hawai‘i’s private workforce, composed of 258,345 workers, was employed by small businesses in 2012, according to the United States Small Business Administration. However, there are many different ways to go about helping local people. Here are ﬁve quick ways to go local.

Local grindz

Local connections

Local stickers

Local shopping

Local support

Next time you go out to eat, ask if the restaurant sources its food locally. Thinking about breaking out the grill for a cookout? Get your groceries from a farmer’s market. The locally grown produce will be both fresh and economical, coming from a farm several miles away instead of on an expensive ship or airplane ride from halfway around the world. The money you spend will support local chefs and farmers who satisfy your cravings for good grindz.

Social media can spread more than just six-second laughs and special-effects stories. While a single click may seem insigniﬁcant and inconsequential, liking and sharing posts from your favorite local businesses is a form of support that rivals big businesses’ media commercials. Your friends are more likely to take notice of the businesses that you have liked, rather than the paid advertisements that many users scroll past without a second look. You may also reap extra beneﬁts in the form of exclusive sales and promotions.

When you check the price on a product’s label, also see where that product was made. Though items brandishing a “Made in Hawai‘ i” sticker might cost a bit more than some imports, know that your choice to buy local will help local businesses grow, become more competitive and have lower prices in the future.

Every time you visit your favorite store, you support its local employees and encourage their employers to give more hours to employees and hire others in the community. If you choose to buy local products online, you can extend your support to other businesses on different islands at the click of a button or tap of a ﬁnger.

Behind every local business, local people with big dreams and modest budgets pour their hearts and souls into their labor to make it in Hawai‘ i. Though you might have a go-to place for clothes and plate lunches, consider new stores. The opportunity you give other businesses to impress you is a winwin situation for both you and the business, even if those businesses do not always measure up to your favorites. SOURCE: FREEPIK

Swap meet: Local products hidden among ‘Made in China’ shops IKAIKA SHIVELEY FEATURES EDITOR

The scorching sun beating on cement, waves of people and of course, vendors – this is what you’ll find at Aloha Stadium’s swap meet. For some locals, the swap meet may be a location to avoid, but for others, it’s a shopper’s paradise. Open Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, the state’s largest open-air flea market is located in Aloha Stadium’s parking lot. You’ll find vendor after vendor of knick knacks and other souvenirs, which make for great gifts during the holidays. Most items sold at the swap meet are imported, but some sellers offer locally made products. Local retailer Lin’s Hawaiian Snacks has two separate tents

that entice shoppers’ taste buds. From crack seed to dried fruit, Lin’s Hawaiian Snacks has been feeding hungry shoppers for the last two decades. Based out of a warehouse at 762 Queen Street, the company has made its name with its best seller, li hing pineapple. When walking to the tent, visitors are often greeted by a sample of this delicious treat. Lani T’s is another local company that has been attending the swap meet for over 15 years. Known for selling handmade dolls, Lani T’s has become a popular booth, especially during the holidays. The aloha print clothing for the dolls are also handmade by Lani T, making the gift special. Dolls come in 11.5-inch, 15-inch and 18-inch sizes. If you’re in the mood for local

jewelry, Toe Jams is the local vendor for you. Each toe ring is handmade with sterling silver, with prices ranging from $20-$40. Aside from toe rings, Toe Jams also sells anklets. Both can be sized at the tent, and each purchase comes with a lifetime warranty. While the swap meet is open three days a week, shoppers are advised to go during the weekend,

because more vendors set up their tents on these busier days. Shoppers should also bring sun protection, whether it be sunscreen, a hat or an umbrella. The last thing anyone wants is heat exhaustion, so the earlier you arrive, the better. Also, note that most products sold at the swap meet can be haggled to a more affordable price. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

O‘ahu is never out of local style Boutiques on O‘ahu that make it worth shopping locally

KIMBERLEE SPEAKMAN OPINIONS EDITOR

Style is one thing that separates O‘ahu from anywhere else. With light fabrics and ﬂoral designs, some local clothing styles can be easily spotted from a mile away. To help you locate these hidden gems on O‘ahu, here is a guide to the best local boutiques on the island.

Eden in Love

Cinnamon Girl

Fighting Eel

Located in Ward Village, Eden in Love is a relatively new boutique known for its prints and specialized obi belts. Created in 2008 by UH Mānoa alumna Tanna Dang, this store brings together exquisite jewelry, gorgeous materials and prints and innovative items presented in a chic, well-decorated space. “You want to be able to come here, not just to buy cute things for yourself to wear, but when you have your first interview, or you have your first date, or you’re dressing yourself for a bridal shower, [Eden in Love] is there to help you,” Dang said. Eden in Love is also expanding its efforts to specialty and lifestyle items that you can use to decorate your house. “Instead of it just being a really cute place where you can pick up miscellaneous items, we want to be that boutique that’s really going to help you style your home,” Dang said. “If you want to style out your desk, we can help you do that. If you want to style a gift for someone that’s going to college, we can do that too. It’s just the total experience we want to create. [We want to] be your complete place to go to fulfill whatever life will send to you.” Most items at Eden in Love are usually sold within a $15$35 price range.

Cinnamon Girl has been one of Hawai‘i’s leading clothing boutiques for almost a decade. With six stores across Maui, O‘ahu and the Big Island, Cinnamon Girl’s signature style is easily distinguishable. From handbags and accessories to journals and scented candles, Cinnamon Girl is the go-to shop for not only the newest local fashions, but also the nicest gifts and trinkets to add ﬂair to your home. The only drawback to Cinnamon Girl is its moderate to high prices, ranging from $30-$60. However, most of Cinnamon Girl’s dresses are designed and hand-sewn on the islands, so you’re paying a little extra to know that you are getting high quality, locally produced designs.

Created by local designers Rona Bennett and Lan Chung in 2003, the Fighting Eel boutique is a shop that incorporates new style trends and fashions into its products. With four locations across O‘ahu, Fighting Eel has quickly become one of O‘ahu’s top local clothing shops. The Fighting Eel’s primary focus: clothing. Bennett and Chung have the most versatile designs that look adorable, yet are comfy. All of the Fighting Eel’s outﬁts are made with top quality in mind. Prices at Fighting Eel start at $75. The Fighting Eel is an ideal boutique for those who want to splurge and treat themselves to something fancy.

Parabens? Triclosan? Fragrance? When you’re gift shopping for a cosmetics lover, you will notice these chemicals on many ingredient lists. How about we look for these three words instead: local, natural and economically friendly? If you ever need a gift for someone who adores beauty products, check out these companies selling ecofriendly and locally made beauty items.

Queen Bee Productions Queen Bee Productions is a Maui group that uses honey in its beauty products. A brainchild of a herbalist and an aesthetician, this company is dedicated to using optimum ingredients to service people everywhere. The company’s production process is all natural, from the bees to the bottle. Queen Bee Productions sells lip balms, facial scrubs, creams and more, all for reasonable prices, given the quality of the brand. Queen Bee lists each product’s ingredients on its website.

Locally made products are a joy to receive and they help boost the economy. Keep an eye out for other local companies like Luana Naturals, Honey Girl Organics and Naris Cosmetics. These companies and others offer new takes on common beauty products. Hawai‘ i has much to offer in terms of natural beauty products, so consider buying local products for friends and family this holiday season.

Local ways to start your day Check out fresh local coffee at these spots KEVIN HARRISON / STAFF WRITER

The life of a college student can often be ﬁlled with sleepless nights and loads of coffee. If you’re looking for some delicious, locally grown coffee, here are a few brands and stores to check out.

MauiGrown Coffee Inc.

Kona Coffee

Ka‘ū

Maui coffees are generally more bitter than other locally grown brands such as Kona. They don’t go down very smoothly, so if you’re not into black coffee, you may want cream and sugar. This company also sells online Maui-grown brands such as Ka’anapali, Maui Blend and Lava Flow. Down to Earth, located across the state, also sells bags of Maui coffee beans both in store and online for around $14. Honolulu Coffee in Ala Moana also sells Maui and Kona coffee, as well as a variety of local coffee ﬂavor blends such as vanilla and mocha.

This coffee has a smooth taste and its bitterness is not overpowering. Kona Coffee doesn’t need a lot added to it and tastes fine black. Kona Coffee may be one of the best known brands, but it is also one of the most expensive. On the online store, a one pound bag can cost $35 and a five pound bag can cost over $200. Kona Coffee can be bought by the bag at Down to Earth and Safeway. Bags can also be bought from many online stores.

This coffee falls between Kona and Maui brands in terms of taste. It’s not as bitter as Maui coffees, but it’s also not the high-quality taste one expects from Kona. Ka‘ū is an easy enough coffee to drink for the morning pick-me-up. Ka‘ū is sold on the company’s website and at Downtown Coffee, Island Brewhouse and Kai Coffee. Ka‘ū is a cheaper alternative to Kona Coffee if you still want Big Island quality and something different from generic brands.

The magic behind the music The story of Hawai‘i’s renowned ukulele rockstar

COURTESY OF COLEMAN SAUNDERS 

The album “Travels” was realeased on Oct. 9. EVANGELINE COOK STAFF WRITER

Although it’s been three years since his last album release, Jake Shimabukuro has made a comeback with his new album, “Travels,” released last month. The 17-track album is a compilation of originals and covers inspired by musicians such as the Jackson 5, Israel Kamakawiwo‘ole and The Sunday Manoa. DIVING INTO STARDOM

On his previous album, “Grand Ukulele,” Shimabukuro collaborated with Alan Parsons, who produced legendary albums such as The Beatles’ “Abbey Road” and Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon.” As a small-town island boy, Jake’s collaboration with someone of that credibility made a positive inﬂuence on his musical career. “When we were mixing the record, you would watch his hands just kind of slowly push the faders up and down,” Shimabukuro said. “And in a matter of seconds, the whole mix would just come together.” Each album production is a learning experience, especially when working with a new producer each time, according to Shimabukuro. “It’s always different when you work with different producers because everyone has their own idea

of what the album should sound like, or even what my instrument should sound like,” Shimabukuro said. PRODUCTION OF ‘TRAVELS’

In “Travels,” Shimabukuro collaborated with bass player Dean Taba and album engineer Milan Bertosa. Bertosa is known for his engineering work on Kamakawiwo‘ole’s “Somewhere over the Rainbow,” a favorite of Shimabukuro’s.

new experiences happened in this time period including the birth of his son, Chase Shimabukuro. “In the last three years, I’ve literally been traveling all over the place, including Japan and different countries,” Shimabukuro said. Jake’s track compilation for his new album was carefully chosen with the intention to “be respectful to the original pieces” but also “push the boundaries” of the uku-

In a lot of ways [‘Travels’] is kind of a tribute album to all of my ukulele heroes.

bukuro said. Although he admits he is a huge Jackson 5 fan, his first experience of the song “I’ll Be There” came from elsewhere. “When I first heard ‘I’ll be There,’ I didn’t know it was a Jackson 5 song,” Shimabukuro said. “The first time I ever heard it was from Israel Kamakawiwo‘ole.” Jake dedicated his version of “I’ll Be There” to Jackson 5 and Israel Kamakawiwo‘ole. “In a lot of ways it is kind of a tribute album to all of my ukulele heroes,” Shimabukuro said. UKULELE MAKES HISTORY

– JAKE SHIMABUKURO UKULELE PLAYER

“The reason I chose to work with Milan on this project was because I wanted to capture that same kind of intimacy of the ukulele that he did in Israel Kamakawiwo‘ole’s recording,” Shimabukuro said. Taba is also a dear friend of Shimabukuro’s. “Working with him was great because because he has so much experience arranging songs,” Shimabukuro said. “I really trust his judgement, musically.” The album title “Travels” is based on Shimabukuro’s time spent between recording albums.

lele and its sound. “The title track ‘Travels’ is based on the open tuning of the ukulele. ‘My Dog Has Fleas,’” Shimabukuro said. Some of the cover songs included on this album are “Kawika” by Peter Moon and the Sunday Manoa, “Low Rider” by War, and “I’ll Be There” by Jackson 5. While recording “Kawika,” Shimabukuro incorporated electric ukulele to give the song rock inﬂuence. “I wanted to take the same approach that Peter Moon and The Sunday Manoa did, but also kind of do it my own way as well,” Shima-

Back in June of this year, Shimabukuro performed with the Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra for the world’s ﬁrst ukulele concerto. In the past, he has played with other orchestras, but only during performances that focused mainly on pop music. However, for the ﬁrst time in history the ukulele was featured as a classical instrument. “It was the most intense piece I ever tackled in my life,” Shimabukuro said. “It was a very historic night for me and the ukulele, and just for Hawai‘ i in general.” He has since performed the concerto with the Buffalo Symphony Orchestra while on his tour on the East Coast.

THE INFLUENCE

Growing up, his musical inﬂuences weren’t that of most musicians – no Eddie Van Halen or Jimmy Hendrix. Some of his biggest inﬂuences as a teenager were The Sunday Manoa, Kau Crater Boys, Otosan and Gabby Pahinui. “When I was growing up, all I listened to was traditional and contemporary Hawaiian music,” Shimabukuro said. PARTING WORDS

He hopes to inspire young musicians of Hawai‘ i to always be willing to try new things. “The most important thing to do is to just keep learning, keep pushing yourself and always take those opportunities,” he said. He will be holding his annual Jake Shimabukuro and Friends concert on Dec. 12 at Hawaii Theatre. Tickets are available at the theatre’s website listed below.

‘Either you’re in or you’re out’ UH football lacking commitment from players, fanbase DAVID MCCRACKEN STAFF WRITER

If a tree falls in a forest and no one’s around to hear it, does it make a sound? If UH loses its ninth consecutive game of the season at Aloha Stadium in a near-empty area, did it actually happen? Only 11,625 people were at Aloha Stadium to watch the University of Hawai‘ i Rainbow Warriors lose its ninth consecutive game to the San Jose State University (SJSU) Spartans, 42-23. It marked the lowest attendance for a UH football game at Aloha Stadium in program history, 2,544 less than the previous low of 14,169 back in 1976. For those in attendance Saturday, they watched the Spartans jump ahead 35-0, leaving the Warriors with little to no chance of ever coming back. “It was embarrasing, we couldn’t stop them in the ﬁrst half,” head coach Chris Naeole said. “We turned over the ball again. It felt like guys were just going in the tank. I got on the players I got on the coaches. You got to expect bet-

ter. We can’t come out and start slow and have a half like that. Were not good enough on offense to get it back and get those points back that we need to win.” Naoele is right: their offense is not good enough. But it wasn’t just the offense, which sputtered for 134 yards of total offense in the first half. The Warriors defense was to blame for making SJSU look like contenders for the College Football Playoff, surrendering 344 yards in the first half and 509 yards on the game. “We talked about having pride this whole week,” linebacker Lance Williams said. “As coach says, either you’re in or you’re out. We play for each other and it is what it is. The results are not what we wanted but the one thing I’m proud of is guys who keep playing. We’re playing for the state of Hawai‘i and we have to take pride in that.” Playing with pride has been the rallying cry for Naoele since he took over as interim head coach following the firing of Norm Chow. Some players, like Naoele alluded too, did play with great effort – running back Paul Harris being one of them.

Julian Gener: an inspiration

In 2014, the Warriors had a 4-9 record, compared to the current 2-10 record.

“Well, some guys are playing with pride, others I can see, ﬁlm don’t lie, people check out,” Naeole said. “I’m proud of some guys, Julian Gener keeps going, we ran the ball well with Paul Harris, the O-line moved the line in the run game. Kory Rasmussen still tends to play hurt, but we just got to make plays. We weren’t very good on defense today.” Harris has been the sole bright spot for this football team on offense and defense. Besides

punter Rigoberto Sanchez, who converted three successful onside kicks against SJSU, Harris has been the team’s most valuable player. He rushed for 179 yards and a touchdown against the Spartans, recording his third straight 100-yard rushing performance. The Warriors have one game left this season, senior night at Aloha Stadium next week Saturday, Nov. 29 against Louisiana-Monroe. With a 2-10 record and an 0-8

record in the Mountain West Conference so far, fans are already looking at next season; discussing whether it will be June Jones or Dave Aranda or any of the other 50-plus applicants who have reportedly applied for the head coaching position at UH. Whoever takes this program over must make sure that they can bring fans back to Aloha Stadium. Because playing with pride and being positive only gets you so far.

followed him and he always did a good job of leading them … you just knew the kids respected him.” Even though Gener has been ﬁring on all cylinders this season, it has not been a smooth ride to his senior year. After transferring to UH from Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, California, Gener only appeared in the ﬁrst three games before suffering from a season-ending shoulder injury. Given the suddenness of the shoulder trauma, he was given a medical hardship exception, pre-

SAC, Gener was named to the 2012 All-America Community College Football ﬁrst-time selection, as well as being named the Central Conference Defensive player of the year. In just

The world is about to change for Julian “Juju” Gener, senior and starting linebacker for the University of Hawai‘ i Rainbow Warrior football team. And even though the future is uncertain, he’s trying his best to stay in the moment and remember to enjoy doing what he loves most, while he still can. “I guess I’m kind of in a state of panic and uncertainty,” Gener said. “Only because I’ve been doing this for so long, like clockwork … just all the structure and scheduling. So to go from all that to having no clue what I’m going to do after November 28 is kind of scary.” Born and raised in West Covina, California, Gener has always been a talented football player, known for his skills on the field as well as his leadership off the field. Along with his impressive stats, Gener was also chosen by newly appointed interim head coach Chris Naole as one of the newest captains after the release of former head coach Norm Chow. This was due to the fact that Gener has been one of the few players with consistent play during the 2015 season, despite all the obstacles the team has faced, according to the coach. “He’s one of the leaders on defense and has been from the first day I stepped on campus,” defensive coordinator and inside linebacker coach Tom Mason said. “I noticed it right away, that the kids

serving a year of eligibility for him. Regardless of the fact that he only appeared in three games, Gener was still able to record 16 tackles, including two sacks and one forced fumble. The bad injury luck didn’t stop there for Gener though, as it plagued him again halfway through his next year playing for UH. In the 2014 season, he appeared in the ﬁrst seven games, starting four out of the seven, before he suffered a season-ending leg injury against Rice University. Again, his stats preceded him though, as he was able to record 36 solo tackles, 10 assisted tackles and one sack before he was forced to ride the bench until 2015. “Well that [the fact that Gener has come back from multiple inju-

two years, Gener tallied a total of 102 tackles, including 13 for loss of yards, four sacks, three forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and one interception, tying him for second in the conference and seventh in the state. Even though this could potentially be his last year of playing football on a semi-professional level, he maintains hope that he can continue to do what he loves most and make a career out of it in the future. “You know, this is always what we’ve been playing for, the names on the back of our jerseys,” Gener said. “So for me, I would love to ﬁnd somewhere for me to play next year, whether it’s the NFL or a Canadian league and continue my career, so hopefully it doesn’t stop here.”

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL DIVING The Hawai‘i men’s and women’s diving team partook in the Georgia Tech Invitational but did not get the same results as the swimmers. Hawai‘i’s strongest male was senior Amund Gismervik as he ﬁnished in second with a 23 in the Men 3 Meter Finals and placed third with a 22 in the Men 1 Meter Finals. Seniors Lauren Hall and Aimee Harrison led the women’s team.

The Rainbow Wahine closed out their regular season with a fourgame California road trip this week. The ‘Bows were led offensively by junior outside hitter Nikki Taylor who totaled a team high 67 kills throughout the week. With wins coming on all four matches against UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara, and Cal Poly respectively, the Wahine ﬁnished the season an unbeaten (13-0) in Big West Conference play and improved their record to (26-1). Hawai‘ i will now have a short break before they look to carry momentum into the NCAA playoffs that begin on Dec. 3. The location is still to be determined, but there is hope that the Wahine will be awarded a playoff game at Stan Sheriff Center. SOURCE: FILE PHOTO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I [3]

Music is often a way of life. When unique sounds come together to create a song, the result tends to touch the hearts of composer and listener alike. Although the life of a musician can be tough, the journey and experience are always rewarding. “Music is a universal language,” said 21-yearold music major Gunner Nagata. “Music conveys emotions that cannot be said in words. I feel it’s a gift, and if I’m effective at getting to someone’s emotions, then music is like my tool to affect people.” Nagata currently plays a variety of different instruments: saxophone, piano, ukulele, keyboard and guitar. But his passion for music extends beyond these instruments. “From a very young age, I knew I was going to do music,” he said. “Music is my form of expression. Creativity comes through music and it’s an outlet for me on many levels: intellectually, physically and spiritually. There’s a way to relate music to everything in life.” The music of the past usually inﬂuences the music of the future. Nagata lists self-taught rock composer Frank Zappa as one of his role models. “He did what he wanted,” Nagata said. “[He did] what he was passionate about, and he didn’t get mad if people weren’t passionate about what he wanted to do. But he did what he loved. And if you love it, then just love it.” Nagata attends UH in order to further his

experiences with music, and explore the many different possibilities offered to music majors in a college setting. “I wanted to see what else was out there,” he said. “Music was the only thing I could realistically see myself loving after going through the college track. I like UH because they have a classical, western approach, but they also have ethnomusicology, so I can be exposed to other cultures.” Ultimately, Nagata is all about following his heart. He lives every day by a mantra of working hard. “Go hard or go home,” Nagata said. “I like to relate that to everything in life. Give 100 percent or don’t do anything at all. It’s about not wasting time, being efﬁcient and considerate of yourself and others. I think my advice is that you dig deep and ﬁnd what you’re truly passionate about. Right now, I’m really passionate about music, and I want music to be a part of my life.”
