No plastic after July 1 Oahu bans disposable plastic bags in stores to improve environment B Y E R I C H ARLIN E

In an attempt to reduce the growing amount of plastics found in the waste stream of Oahu, the county of Honolulu has passed a ban on the use of plastic bags for stores not in the prepared foods category, according to the Honolulu Star Advertiser.

The ban is scheduled to begin on July 1 and prevents all retail stores from using plastic packaging to carry their goods, with the exception of restaurants’ to-go items and other takeout food stores. Stores such as Foodland, Target and Wal-Mart will no longer be able to provide free plastic bags to customers.

Unaloto Vaka, a junior studying social work from Tonga, felt the ban will have a bigger impact on the students and community in Laie. “For me, it’s a problem because we need those things to put our groceries inside instead of carrying a backpack or things like that,” said Vaka. “I save them, like when I need to carry lunch or other things.” He said the bags are useful and it would be difficult to make the change.

“I don’t know if they have to put a price or a cost on the paper bags or things like that.

If that’s the case, it would be hard for me because I would have to pay for the bags.”

Carolyn Cooke, a freshman social work major from Maryland, said it’ll be hard for students because of the different ways plastic bags are used. She said, “My roommates and I usually take the bags and use them in our dorm for garbage bags. It might make things a little inconvenient, but I think it’s a good idea.”

For Carrie Tsai, a senior studying biology from Taiwan, the ban on bags is a move in the right direction. “It’s a good thing,” said Tsai. “I don’t think I’ll have a problem with that.” She said this was a good

move because of the possible good effect it may have on the environment. “I’ll just use something to replace those plastic bags. It’s not a big deal.”

The Environmental Protection Agency has estimated 12 percent of the municipal waste stream now consists of plastics, an increase from 1 percent in 1960. David Bybee, an assistant professor of biology, said “I think fewer plastics available should hopefully translate into fewer plastics making it into streams and the ocean.” He said it would be worthwhile to look at other areas where the same ban has already been in place, looking for any changes in the amounts of litter in the water.

According to the Honolulu Star Advertiser, the county will allow the use of reusable bags, compostable bags or recyclable bags containing at least 40 percent recycled content. Exemptions will be made for bulk-item bags, bags used for plant material, frozen foods and other damp items, newspaper bags for home delivery, pharmacy medication bags and bags sold in packages such as garbage bags.

Love All Around

The courting stories of four BYU-Hawaii alumni

BY ALYSSA T RO YAN EK

R

oxy and Kamuela Kimokeo, BYU-Hawaii alumni who met here at school, have been married for almost eight and a half years.

Roxy and Kamuela were both music majors. Roxy studied vocal performance and Kamuela did an emphasis in guitar performance. They were both a part of the University Chorale and the Shaka Steel Band. They met because they had a lot of the same classes. They graduated as a couple in 2008.

When asked about her first impression of Kamuela, Roxy said, “He had a huge personality and was the type of guy everyone knew and got along with. He was always cracking jokes (which I thought were funny some of the time), but mostly he was my competition for top scores in class.”

Kamuela followed by saying, “My first impression of Roxy was that she was beautiful. Then as I got to know her, I realized that she was highly motivated and in tune with her culture.”

Roxy is originally from New Zealand and attended BYUH from 2004-2008 as a result of the IWES program, the former name of the I-WORK program. Her great-grandpar-

ents were involved with building the Polynesian Cultural Center, and her great-grandmother still lived here at the time. She said she chose to attend BYUH because it is always warm. Roxy worked at the PCC for the duration of her school attendance and participated in the New Zealand and Latin America clubs.

Kamuela is from Kaneohe. He attended BYUH from 2002-2003 and 2005-2008.

He said he chose to attend BYUH because it was close to home, he had family in Laie and it is a church school. His seminary scholarship also helped with his decision of schools. While attending school, Kamuela was part of the salsa orchestra on campus.

They dated for exactly 11 months before getting married in the Laie Hawaii Temple on Dec. 14, 2006. The couple now lives in Ewa Beach and have two boys, Ka’ihi and Keahu.

The boys are home-schooled. Kamuela is a lecturer at the University of Hawaii and plays Hawaiian music several nights a week. Roxy is a stay-at-home mom busy trying to raise her boys to love God and serve others. The Kimokeos said they love their life here in Hawaii.

My first impression of Roxy was that she was beautiful. Then as I got to know her, I realized that she was highly motivated and in tune with her culture.”

enzie and Marc Winchell also found each other at BYUH.

The couple met at Kakelas beach at a bonfire. Kenzie said, “At the bonfire, we were playing different games that needed partners and he ended up being mine. The games were pretty crazy, and everyone ended up pretty sandy!”

Kenzie described her first impression of Marc, “I first thought Marc was super handsome, and then after talking to him I thought he was really mellow and down to earth.”

When describing Marc’s first impression of Kenzie, he said, “I thought she was a spontaneous person and easy to talk to.”

The couple dated for a year and a half before getting married in the

Redlands California Temple on June 22, 2013.

Kenzie is from Redlands, Calif. and attended BYUH from September 2010 - April 2014. She chose to come to BYUH because both of her parents graduated here. She also has two brothers who came to BYUH before her. They all talked about how great their experiences were here and how unique it was to be involved with so many cultures. Her brothers told her all about their different adventures. She said, “Who wouldn’t want to be in paradise while going to college?” Kenzie majored in elementary education, was a part of BYUHSA and was an executive director for service.

Marc is from Ramona, Calif.

He attended BYUH from 2008-2011 and

graduated in April 2011. Marc said he came to BYUH because a lot of his good friends from home were here at that time.

Marc also loves surfing and said, “BYUH is the best surf school.” He majored in corporate finance with a minor in accounting. Marc also mentioned he was a “mediocre” member of the accounting club.

Kenzie said, “Life is great being married.” She is a part-time teacher at Laie Elementary School and will be starting graduate school at the University of Hawaii for speech pathology. Marc is the experiential marketing manager for Turtle Bay Resort. Kenzie said, “We have so much fun together living and working in Hawaii. We love to surf, go to the beach, hike and go on adventures together.”

BY RACHEL REED

French inventors and brothers Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Etienne Montgolfier had their first public demonstration of a hot air balloon flight on June 4, according to todayinsci. com. The balloon took off from Annonay, France, rose to roughly 3,280 feet and traveled for a mile and a half. Joseph’s first idea to invent the hot air balloon came because of his dream of flying into the sky. He took paper from his father’s factory and started experimenting. His brother had the idea to fill it with hydrogen gas. After experimenting with it, they achieved a small success using a taffeta envelope filled with hot air that rose to the ceiling. This led to the demonstration that happened on June 4, which in turn led to further demonstrations and improvements. in the hot KE ALAKA‘I 8These resulted air balloon used today.

The 19th Amendment was passed by Congress and sent to the states for ratification, giving women the right to vote. Though the process was not completed and practiced until Aug. 18, 1920, this was an important milestone for women after decades of protest, according to the U.S. National Archives. Rebecca Jacobs, a junior studying physics education with a minor in mathematics from Canada and dual citizenship in the United States, said regarding the event, “This impacted a lot. Since women can vote, it’s lead to other steps and other things. It’s nice to have that agency - that my vote, that extra vote, can change how the government is for the following years.”

The Battle of Midway was started and predominantly fought today, when U.S. aircraft attacked four Japanese carriers and forced Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto to withdraw, according to aboutedcuation.com. Later fighting ensued on June 7, which led to sunken aircraft carriers on both sides, the Japanese going into defense and the subsequent US victory and going into offense.

Tonga declared independence from the United Kingdom and joined the Commonwealth of Nations but remained the only monarchy in the Polynesian islands, according to the Kingdom of Tonga’s website. “Little things have changed here and there so you can still tell we were colonized by the British government, but a lot of things have changed,” said Ana Lotebatu, a senior studying political science from Tonga. “Since we are a monarchy, we have our own king and we are a totally independent country.”

The Tiananmen Square incident, also called the June 4th Incident, happened 26 years ago. University students gathered in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China, protesting and demanding political, social and economic reform for nearly two weeks, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica. The government sent in heavily armed troops and tanks into the Square and opened fire on protesters, leaving an estimated 241 dead and around 7,000 wounded.Yuki Sun, a freshman from Hong Kong studying TESOL, said, “In our culture, we just say June 4 event. We don’t know exactly what happened. I can see how cruel China’s government is, but I don’t think the government is going to change any more.

I don’t think we can make any change as a student because they are the government and they have the right to change everything in a country.”

Lantern Floating Hawaii ceremony honors those who have passed away More than 40,000 people gathered together at Ala Moana Beach on Memorial Day to remember their loved ones, reflect on memories and honor those who have gone before us. Brooke Lindahl, a sophomore majoring in psychology from Arizona said, “The overall ceremony was better than I imagined. I made sure to get front and center so I could really experience the full effect. Not to mention I liked how the main lady sang and talked about why we have the ceremony.”

The lanterns are placed into the water to bring peace, happiness, courage, and hope into the hearts of the people who attended the ceremony. Alexis Bowels, sophomore majoring in social work from California said, “I went because I thought it would be a good experience. I liked it because it was very touching and emotional. Being able to see all of the lanterns floating in the water that represented all of the fallen soldiers made me realize we will never be able to thank all of those enough who have given their lives for our country. It made me empathetic towards the families who lost their loved ones.” The lanterns are not only for servicemen and women who have passed away, but also for deceased citizens.

Reflecting on the Lantern Floating Hawaii ceremony, McKenzie Messick, a senior majoring in elementary education from California said, “A moment that was special to me was when I got to light and send off my lantern. Not only did I think about my ancestors that have fought for my freedom, but just two weeks ago, I lost my aunt Kelly so it was nice to think of her and light a candle in her memory.” Messick continued, “I wanted to go because I saw pictures and heard about it last year, and I thought it would be a really cool experience. I think it’s a great way to celebrate Memorial Day.” According to lanternfloatinghawaii.com, this special ceremony began back in 1999 on Memorial Day when Her Holiness Shinso Ito, who is the head priest of Shinyo-en, officiated the Lantern Floating Hawaii ceremony to create a place where everyone can come together to remember their loved ones and strengthen as a community as people reach out and support each other. The first ceremony was held at Ke’ehi Lagoon in Honolulu for three years and then moved to Ala Moana beach in 2002, according to lanternfloatinghawaii.com.

Before the ceremony began, the observers had the opportunity to get a free lantern from the event staff. There were three spaces available on the lantern for the participants to write words to the ones they have lost.

At approximately 6 p.m., the Pū was sounded, a conch shell that sanctifies the area and marks the start of the ceremony. Next came the Shinnyo Taiko, which was another sound that called the people together and is used as a prayer for peace. The Oli, a Hawaiian chant, began shortly after and is used to prepare the hearts of the attendees to understand the importance of this ceremony, according to lanternfloatinghawaii.

After this performance, the main lanterns entered. The six main lanterns are used to carry the prayers for all spirits on behalf of everyone present, according to lanternfloatinghawaii.com. Community leaders of different religions come together to light the Light of Harmony, symbolizing the unity of the diverse community. Her Holiness Shinso Ito then offered a blessing to all of those who were being remembered that day. The offering of the food and water symbolized the spiritual nourishment to the souls being remembered according to lanternfloatinghawaii.com. The strewing of flower petals symbolized love and respect that everyone present offered to their loved ones. The shomyo, which is a traditional Buddhist chant, occurred shortly after. The ringing of the bell chimed through the audience as it signified the start of the floating lanterns.

The class of 2015

Video of Kahuku graduates hits more than three million views

BY ER I C HA R LINE

T commencement for the graduating seniors hursday, May 28 marked a long-awaited

of Kahuku High and Intermediate School. The highlight of the graduation was a senior medley prepared several days in advance by the graduating seniors. A video of the medley performance has gone viral with over 3 million views on YouTube and was featured on news sources like BuzzFeed and Good Morning America.

“We started Monday and had sixhour practices each day from Monday to this Thursday,” said Tyson Vimahi, a graduating senior from Kahuku. The seniors performed to various modern and classic songs such as Wiz Kalifa’s “See You Again,” Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk” and the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back.” Tei said, “It’s a tradition.”

It began with a welcome from the Hawaiian immersion senior graduates. After the procession of the red- and white-robed graduates, members of the Kahuku High and Intermediate junior ROTC conducted the posting of the American flag. The senior members of the Kahuku musical group Vocal Motion sang

the National Anthem and the Hawai‘i Pono‘i.

Kenner Shumway, a 2014 graduate from Laie whose little sister walked, said, “It wasn’t too long, but I loved how the class was able to showcase everything from academics to athletics to musical talents.” He said he enjoyed watching the graduates have the same experience he had just a year earlier.

Senior class officers Elena Jacopo, Malia Tupola, Morgan-Melissa Muaina, and Tumusa Tei acted as the M.C.s for the ceremony. “I was nervous and felt it was awful,” said Tumusa Tei, originally from Kaneohe. “I’m a class officer, so it’s mandatory for us to M.C.” She shared her nerves about conducting the ceremony with her classmates.

The valedictory address was given by eight students and consisted of busting and confirming the many myths about going through high school.

The graduating seniors were lauded for the many scholarships awarded to them.

Several other awards were given from faculty to the students for various accomplishments

from athletics to community service. After the awards were given out, the ceremony proceeded with the presentation of diplomas.

Shumway said, “I think because music is such a huge part of the community, it just seems natural to include it in one of the most important events in the community.” The nowgraduated seniors ended the ceremony singing the Kahuku Alma Mater.

After the recessional, the graduates celebrated outside of the CAC with family and friends. Vimahi said, “It’s sort of surreal, just thinking that I just walked down the stage and grabbed my diploma.” He expressed his excitement about the future of studying at Brigham Young University in Provo. He also shared his gratitude to those who supported the senior class. “It was all made possible just because we have good supportive families that love to help out.”
