News Headlines

Ebola spreads to 2nd U.S. nurse, CDC to create rapid response team The Ebola crisis in the United States took another alarming turn Oct. 15 with word a second Dallas nurse caught the disease from a patient, reports AP. She flew across the Midwest aboard an airliner the day before she fell ill, even though government guidelines should have kept her off the plane.

Amid growing concern, President Barack Obama canceled a campaign trip to address the outbreak and said his administration would respond in a “much more aggressive way” to Ebola cases in the United States.

President Obama said he had directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to step up its response to new cases, reports AP.

“We want a rapid response team, a SWAT team essentially, from the CDC to be on the ground as quickly as possible, hopefully within 24 hours, so that they are taking the local hospital step by step though what needs to be done,” he said.

The second nurse was identified as 29-year-old Amber Joy Vinson. Medical records provided to AP by Thomas Eric Duncan’s family showed she inserted catheters, drew blood and dealt with Duncan’s body fluids. Vinson was transferred Oct. 15 to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.

Duncan was diagnosed with Ebola after coming to the United States from Liberia. He died Oct. 8. He was the first person to die from Ebola in the United States.

The virus that began in West Africa has now spread to Nigeria, Spain, Senegal, and the United States. The outbreak has infected over 7,000 people in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.

Duncan came to the United States to visit family. According to the AP, it

was his first time in the United States. He showed no symptoms of Ebola when he left Liberia on Sept. 20 but went to an emergency room in Dallas a few days after arriving.

Doctors there failed to diagnose Duncan with the Ebola virus, and sent him home, despite Duncan telling the doctors he came from West Africa.

Nina Pham, a nurse who was treating Duncan in Dallas, tested positive for the Ebola virus, making her the first person to contract the virus within the United States.

Pham received a blood transfusion from Ebola survivor Dr. Kent Brantly, who contracted the virus while treating patients in West Africa but has since survived the virus and developed antibodies. Pham was said to be in an improved condition on Oct. 15, according to Tom Frieden, director of the CDC.

As Ebola spreads throughout the world, countries are heightening the precautions they are taking to ensure the virus does not spread any further.

Kelsie Gordan, a junior majoring in biology from Washington, added, “I don’t think we’ll have an epidemic in America with Ebola like the other countries. We take all the proper precautions, and we’re a lot more careful when it comes to sanitation.”

“I think we’re safe in America,” Alyssa Troyanek, a junior majoring in international cultural studies from Arizona, said.

“The underdeveloped countries are more at risk, and it’s sad to see them being so affected by the virus.”

CrossFit Koolau Kahuku program challenges your limits, student says ntense and vigorous workouts pull the IKo’olau North Shore community to the CrossFit program located in Kahuku on week-

days and Saturdays.

CrossFit is a physical exercise program that incorporates elements from highintensity interval training, Olympic weight lifting, power lifting, gymnastics, and other exercises, says CrossFit.com.

Anue Santiago, a graduate of BYUHawaii, received her bachelor’s degree in exercise science in 2006. Santiago, a member of the CrossFit Ko’olau team, stated, “I wanted to try something that I haven’t done. Seeing the physical results women were getting got me curious. I’ve met some awesome people there and we feed off one another’s energy.”

Santiago added she became hooked to CrossFit after the first day and now attends five days out of the week. Even though she is getting older, she said she feels stronger and can see physical changes in her body.

According to crossfitkoolau.com, a variation of workouts and exercises are performed every day in the classes like jump roping, swinging kettle bells, throwing medicine balls, practicing pull ups, ring dips, pushups, and hand-stand push ups.

Nicole Fiu, an undeclared freshman from Kahuku, has been a member of CrossFit Ko’olau since the beginning of summer.

Fiu said CrossFit is different than working out on your own. “CrossFit challenges your limits.”

Fiu added, “Everyone’s always trying to bring the best out of you, there’s so much energy in the gym and it’s nice because

there is always someone there, doing the workout with you even if you’re the last one to finish off.”

Redmond Mahe, a local from Laie, has recently started CrossFit this year. Mahe called joining CrossFit an easy decision because of the promising results he witnessed from his family and friends who are also apart of CrossFit. Mahe said, “CrossFit has helped me to discover the strength I never knew I had and has pushed me beyond limits I never thought I could endure.”

Coach Greg Classman is the founder of CrossFit. Classman created this fitness program to optimize healthy living within high intensity workouts done through a communal environment, CrossFit.com states.

CrossFit Ko’olau offers one trial class for free. Membership prices can be found at crossfitkoolau.com. The fee for students with a valid school ID is $100 a month, for unlimited classes.

S

tudents and faculty at BYU-Hawaii, are joining with Fight the New Drug organization (FTND) to inform people of the harmfulness of pornography through social media, events, and surveys.

John Hales, a senior majoring in business marketing from California, will be holding a forum to raise awareness.

“Other than sharing [FTND] articles and repping my Porn Kills Love shirt, I am putting on a ‘Myths of Pornography’ forum on November 11th,” said Hales, who got involved through his friendship with Robbie Tripp, manager of social media at FTND. The forum will have a therapist from counseling services as well as a married couple who have overcome pornography who will answer questions at the forum.

“Fight the New Drug exists to provide individuals the opportunity to make an informed decision regarding pornography by raising awareness on its harmful effects using science, facts, and personal accounts,” the FTND mission statements says.

“We’re trying to spread awareness and increase the discussion about porn addiction, as well as advertise the many services provided to help,” Hales continued. Hales is also preparing to release an anonymous survey for BYUH students to see how they feel about pornography as an addiction.

Brother Harris, who works in the Counseling Center as a marriage and family therapist, said, “Pornography is one of our top ‘presenting’ issues here at Counseling Services. All of our counselors are trained in treating pornography addiction. Our next Out-reach Day is on November 20 is on this topic.”

Fight the New Drug began in 2009, when Clay Olsen and three of his friends wanted to make a difference after they graduated from college. With new science and research coming out about the

Students to host forum to fight the new drug harmful effects of pornography, Olsen knew that it was time to make a difference.

“Most people were arguing about pornography from moral and religious standpoint, but we thought that science and facts would be more effective. People usually respond to cold, hard facts a lot quicker,” said Tripp. FTND was then established as a non-profit organization with the goal of making pornography a public issue.

Today, the Salt Lake City based organization is utilizing social media to get people involved with the campaign. FTND can be found on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter with the hashtag #pornkillslove.

“We are pro-love and pro-healthy sexuality. We want people to understand that pornography kills relationships, and we encourage healthy ones. That’s why we use the hash tag, #pornkillslove,” Tripp explained.

“We are a non-religious, non-political, and non-profit organization. We want to end the pornographic culture through informing people with the facts. Porn kills love,” he continued.

The Counseling Center has student support groups that meet on Wed. at 7 P.M. in the BYUH Counseling Services office and Thurs. at 7:30 P.M. in the Laie Stake Center in the high counsel room.

There will also be an event sponsored by the Peace Building program and Counseling Services the week of November 10, focused on pornography.

Casey Hoyt said he believes being a bodybuilder and member of the church is all about progress.

Mr. Muscles Casey Hoyt builds body and soul in the gym

When Casey Hoyt tells people he is a bodybuilder, he gets a lot of different reactions. “A lot of people think I’m a jerk without even knowing me, which I think is funny. I think people have that stigma that people with muscles are just jerks. When they get to know me, they say that they thought I was a total jerk but now that they know they know I’m not,” said Hoyt.

Hoyt’s roommate Craig Martin, a senior from Washington studying graphic design, said, “He is by far the most positive person I know. Things that resonate in my ears that’s classic Casey is, ‘Does it really matter?’ and, ‘Why wouldn’t you?’ These two sayings of his have made him such an interesting person, and it’s been a blast sharing a house with him for over a year now.”

Hoyt’s friends know him for one of his key mottos: “No matter what you do, just try your hardest.”

Hoyt, a senior in exercise sport science from San Clemente, Calif., said he fell in love with bodybuilding after he returned from his mission in Argentina. “Being LDS and a bodybuilder actually coincide. I think that it actually helps me to develop as a member of the Church because it’s built off of the idea of constantly progressing and becoming better,” said Hoyt.

Hoyt said he chose to do bodybuilding because of the individuality of it. “The fact that I don’t need to depend on other people to do well is nice. I’m only accountable to myself. I can’t say that it’s

this person’s fault. If I do bad it’s because I didn’t do something. If I do good then I did something right,” said Hoyt.

As he continues to perfect his bodybuilding Hoyt hopes to become a professional bodybuilder. “I’m going to work during the time that I do bodybuilding because it’s not a lucrative profession unless you’re one of the very top guys. I’m not banking on it because it’s not realistic, but I could possibly do it,” said Hoyt.

In addition to building his physique, Hoyt said his bodybuilding has helped him to flex his spiritual muscles as well.

“Preparing for a competition is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life. It’s in those moments that you realize the things you need to do spiritually so that you can make it through something hard. Being able to stick to something helps me to be able to have good patterns throughout my life.

“Being a bodybuilder also helps me to continue to do spiritual things so that I can stay on top of my spiritual progress,” said Hoyt.

To prepare for competitions, Hoyt said he works out every morning, except for Sundays, and consistently eats five meals a day to fuel his workouts.

For anyone who wants to get in shape, Hoyt said the key is to start and be consistent.

“It takes a lot of effort. There’s a nutritional aspect, a training aspect, and there’s a supplement aspect. If you don’t work out, start working out consistently a few times a week and once you can get that down then start working on your nutrition,” said Hoyt. joshu a mason OCTOBER 16, 2014

FIT FOR LIFE Riana Mahe stays healthy as a mother, grandmother, and teacher with daily exercise

R

iana Mahe, an alumnus from Laie, graduated from BYU-Hawaii in 2006 with her bachelor’s degree in exercise science. Mahe, a mother to six and grandmother to 16, shares her love for fitness and the impact it had on her life.

As a student in the 1980s, Mahe was living in TVA with her little family. “My first encounter entering the aerobic room was quite intimidating. This is where my addiction to keeping healthy and fit begun,” said Mahe.

The aerobics room became a second home when she became a certified aerobic instructor and taught aerobics at BYUH from 19902004. Mahe made the decision to defer her education, and along with aerobics, she instructed various classes including kick boxing, step, body jam, and high and low aerobics. Mahe also held free aerobic classes at the Laie Stake Center for young moms for two years during 1990-1992.

“My love and motivation to teach grew because keeping fit helped me to cope with being a young mom. It gave me more energy to share a healthy life with my children. Being an aerobic instructor was a way for me to give back to the community and the students

who attended BYUH,” said Mahe. Eventually, in 2004, she decided to finish what she started in the 1980s and get her degree.

In 2006, Mahe graduated with her EXS degree in with an emphasis in health and wellness. “While my daughter was attending BYUH a couple years back, she expressed to me how difficult her jogging class was so I woke up every morning at 6 a.m. to run with her.

It was a privilege,” said Mahe.

Now at age 51, Mahe continues to commit to a healthy lifestyle by running the Malaekahana bike path every morning before she tends to her second passion as a special education teacher at Kahuku Elementary School. “As of now with my age limiting my fitness capability, I have just started a different workout program with my sister Margie in her garage. We do squats with weights, boxing, push-ups, and lunges with weights,” said Mahe.

Mahe said she has been able to live a quality life as a mother and a grandmother because of her decisions to stay physically active and keep healthy. Along with her fitness achievements, Mahe has participated in 12 eight-mile Aloha Runs.

Study confirms 8 hours of sleep needed to avoid illness Getting enough sleep – not too much or not too little, said BYUHawaii students, is a balancing act but necessary to function well in college. A recent Finnish study supports their comments finding people who sleep less than five hours a night or more than 10 get sick more often.

“I sleep eight to nine hours every day in order to feel better and more energetic,” said Emily Thompson, a senior majoring in graphic design from Arizona. “If I don’t get my eight hours, I can’t focus and I feel dead – literally.”

According to the Finnish studies, data was collected from more than 3,500 participants by scientists and they found the perfect amount of sleep is approximately eight hours, says information on the Finish government website.

Elder Harris, the director of BYUH’s Counseling Office, said about sleep, “One issue that comes up time and time again is lack of sleep leads to an inability often to make decisions, irritability, a greater tendency to get angry and a lesser ability to pay attention or concentrate. So as you can tell from that, a lack of sleep it can debilitate any student’s ability to perform well in school or academic programs.”

The Finnish scientists also found women need slightly less sleep then men. Women need 7.6 hours of sleep verses 7.8 for men, they reported. Previous research from the University of California at San Diego School of Medicine and the American Cancer Society found seven hours of sleep is more effective than eight hours.

“I need six to seven hours. It’s enough for me,” said Lisa Welker, a sophomore majoring in social work from Oregon. “When I have more sleep, it is easier to focus and stay awake while I study.”

She added a lack of sleep negatively affects her academic process.

Soram Yun, a junior majoring in psychology and music from South Korea, said the amount of time she sleeps isn’t as necessary as the consistency of the sleep.

“The ideal scenario for me would be to go to bed at 10 p.m. and sleep until 2 or 3 a.m.,” said Yun. Because of her schedule, Yun said she sleeps random hours but has gotten used to it.

JUMPING HIGHER Air alerts are a set of jumping exercises designed to improve vertical jumps and leg muscles. There are variations of the exercise online, but students can use the following version at home. Each exercise is done in three sets of 15 repetitions. In between each set, take a 15 second break. If you are serious about adding more to your vertical jump, add five more repetitions every week. These exercises can also be done for a quick cardio workout. Do it with multiple people if you need some motivation. Don’t attempt to perform these exercises if you have leg injuries. Please consult your physician to make sure you are healthy enough to begin this workout.

Stand with your feet together and your heels up. Jump up and down as fast as you can, putting emphasis on keeping your heels up when you land.

Do 140 of these. Add 20 to your routine every week.

You’ll need a sturdy chair where you can put your left foot on the chair and keep the Step Ups or right on the ground. Put your entire weight on your left leg (the one on the chair) and jump up with this leg. As you land have your right leg land on the chair and your left Lunge Jumps leg on the ground. Repeat the step with your right leg doing what the left leg did in the previous step. Both jumps are considered one repetition. If you don’t have a chair or find the exercise too difficult, stand in the lunge position with your left leg in front and right leg in back. Instead of doing a full lunge, extend your right leg so that it’s as straight as possible. Jump up using most of the strength from your left leg. In air, switch your legs’ positions so that your right leg is now in front and your left leg in back. Then repeat so your left leg is in front again. Both jumps are considered one repetition.

The women’s soccer team struggled last week as it lost to conference opponents Point Loma and Azusa Pacific. After starting off the conference schedule with two wins in northern California, the Lady Seasiders have been unable to duplicate their California success at home with four straight conference losses at home.

With the loss against Point Loma and Azusa Pacific, the women’s soccer team fell to a 2-4 record in conference and 3-8 overall and find themselves in the middle of the Pacific West Conference standings. “They were not the results we wanted, but we still have a lot to play for and are going to finish the season with a bang,” said junior Captain Sarah Bodily.

The women’s soccer team faced a tough match up on Oct. 9 against Point Loma Nazarene. The Lady Seasiders got off to a hot start as Bodily connected with a cross from McKenzie Evans, but Point Loma’s goalkeeper made the fingertip save. Later on in the half, Tess Hobbs was barely unable to get on the other end of a through ball. The Lady Seasider defense, led by Tiffani Rice and Jana Wall, kept the score tied at 0-0 at the end of the first half.

In the second half, Point Loma broke away in the 79th minute when a free kick was headed in to give Point Loma the 0-1 lead. BYUH was unable to respond and lost 0-1 to Point Loma. In a quote from Coach Davis on the BYUH Athletics website, Davis said, “We are a really good team. Our girls are very mentally strong and tough as nails.

We are going through some growing pains, but we are going to work it out.”

Two days later the women’s soccer team faced Azusa Pacific. Despite strong play by Rice, BYUH fell behind 0-1 in the 30th minute. That proved to be the only goal of the match as both BYUH and Azusa Pacific struggled to find the back of the net in the second half. “I am proud of the girls, they fought hard and gave it their best effort. Unfortunately the ball just didn’t bounce our way,” said Rice, a junior from Roseville, California.

The women’s soccer team will face Hawaii Pacific in Kaneohe on Friday, Oct. 17. -

Tips for staying F

healthy

during midterms Choose walking over driving For those who live within the Laie area, driving can be very convenient. However, BYUH is located in the center of Laie and is no more than a 20-minute walk from the furthest point in Laie. Daily commuting by walking or biking can help lower stress levels and allows for a clearer concentration, according to WebMD.

or students, going to class takes up the biggest bulk of the day. For most students at BYU-Hawaii, the rest of the day is taken up by jobs, homework and study time, leaving a packed schedule and less time for them to recognize what their body needs. This can lead to unhealthy lifestyle choices, sickness and, in some cases, additional weight. With midterms slowly creeping up, days become even more packed causing students to cave into fast food and unhealthy snacks. Here are some helpful tips for hardworking them to stay healthy during the craziness that is midterms.

Surround yourself with positive people Research has shown negative emotions narrow people’s minds and focus their thoughts on a single idea, according to data found by psychological researcher, Barbara Frederick, at the University of North Carolina. Surrounding yourselves with positive people allows you to be happier and cuts your risk of getting pulled down by people who are constantly negative and unhappy about things. As said in TheJournal.ie, positive thoughts and people also allow the release of endorphins in your brain, causing you to feel happier, which is exactly what is needed during stressful times.

Stay hydrated Although cooler weather is on its way, it’s important to stay hydrated all day. Carry around a bottle you can reuse and refill with water from fountains across campus. Eating water-based foods can also help with avoiding dehydration, according to mDhil Networks. For example, watermelon, cucumbers and tomatoes have high water content as well as various vitamins and nutrients for bodies. Staying hydrated can help balance caloric intakes and maintain a balance for body fluids. Popular advice is to drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day, which is only three cups less than the average 11 cups of fluid recommended by the Institute of Medicine.

Get enough sleep Lack of sleep is a usual problem around college campuses. Students often believe staying up will help them, but research has proven that it does more harm than good. According to the Kettering Sleep Disorders Center in Dayton, Ohio, ”Lack of sleep impairs your ability to learn, remember and process new facts.” Rather than staying in the library or at your desk all night, try to span out studying through the day during class breaks. This will help you ensure a total nine hours of sleep at night.

Eat constantly Keep your metabolism up during midterms by having small and frequent meals. According to mDhil Networks, the biggest cause of overeating is usually not eating enough to begin with.

Having a small, but constant intake of food throughout the day helps keep your energy levels up and allows your body to burn calories more efficiently. A tip for students is to think in halves. Eat only half of your meal at the time you designate and then eat the other half about three hours later. This allows food to constantly be digested allowing a constant flow of energy to your body.
