CONSTRUCTION COSTS CONSTRUCTION COSTS FOR COLLEGE HILL FOR COLLEGE HILL

CLOSE TO $1 MILLIONCLOSE TO $1 MILLION

ALDEN ALAYVILLA

Senior Staff Writer

Ongoing construction costs for exterior work and historic restoration procedures for College Hill are valued at $975,000. According to Director of Communications and Outreach Kelli Abe Trifonovitch, construction consists of reroofi ng and installation of solar hot water heater systems and historic resto-ration procedures for wood treatment and carpentry. “Replacement of termite damage and rotted structural sup-port has added to the original scope of work,” Trifonovitch said. Construction costs are supplemented by Capital Renewal and Deferred Maintenance funds, and construction is projected to be completed by February 2014. Repairs to College Hill, located at 2234 Kamehameha Av-enue, were also done in 2009. “Some of these repairs included replacing the existing oak strip wood fl ooring, which was too thin to refi nish, in the entry, living room and dining room,” Trifonovitch said.

According to Trifonovitch, additional con-struction included structural repair to the porte cochere, as well as to one of the lanai girders and supports, installation of weather stripping at selected exterior windows, replacment of the old gutters and downspouts around the lanai, replacing a termite damaged fl oor beam at the cottage and installation of a column to support the new steel beam at the cottage. The project was completed in 2010 at a cost of $437,746. According to Trifonovitch, College Hill has a daily housekeeper, who maintains the house while serving as a contact with contractors and visitors, and a nursery worker, who maintains the landscaping twice a week. “The housekeeper started on March 15,

1993,” Trifonovitch said. “The nursery worker started on Feb. 6, 2007.” Upon completion of the current repair project, the University of Hawai‘i expects to resume using the home as a venue for meet-ings and events. Long-term future uses of College Hill are under discussion, and no decisions have been made. “Once open, we will use (College Hill) for events until there is a decision on its permanent use,” Chancellor Thomas Apple said. Because of construction, functions at Col-lege Hill were put to a halt in September 2012. In the past, the president of the UH system resided at College Hill, but a deci-sion on whether the next president will live there is uncertain.

“We are searching for a new president,” Apple said. “Will that person want to live there? I don’t know.” M.R.C. Greenwood, the last UH sys-tem president, decided not to live there during her tenure. “College Hill is now the university’s house, so that’s been decided and that was decided before I came,” Greenwood said in a KHON2 News report. “Actually in spite of the fact, there was a lot of confusion about that.” The last UH president to reside at College Hill was Evan Dobelle, who lived there from 2001 to 2004. According to Trifonovitch, College Hill was a Mānoa residence that was built fi ve years before UH Mānoa was founded.

“O‘ahu College – as Punahou School used to be called – was located nearby,” Trifonovitch said. “The Mānoa Valley section where Frank and Eleanor Ather-ton built their country home was called ‘College Hill Tract.’” The children of the Atherton family donated College Hill to UH Mānoa in 1963. “The two-story house blends Victorian and Hawaiian styles,” Trifonovitch said. “It was renovated, and the adjacent building (once the carriage house) was turned into a guesthouse. Artistic and cultural gifts are displayed throughout, along with an elegant grandfather clock bearing the carved name of clockmaker and Atherton son-in-law Chancey Wightman.”

Graduate students Monica Um-eda and Francis Newton Parks III won fi rst place in the Breakthrough Innovation Challenge with their en-ergy-saving, water-harvesting wall. The contest, held by the UH Pa-cifi c Asian Center for Entrepeneur-ship, was meant to inspire young innovators to design and create solu-tions to human problems using ideas from their natural environments. Participants were not allowed to use natural solutions directly, but were challenged to recreate their effects. “The Breakthrough Innova-tion Challenge has defi nitely pushed me to think outside the box to come up with innovative ways to solve major problems,” Umeda said. “It has inspired me to look to nature for more solutions to problems our society faces.”

Umeda intends to enter the BIC’s successor, the Business Plan Competition, in the spring, com-plete her master’s degree in Elec-trical Engineering and eventually start her own business.

SOLUTIONS Umeda and Parks of the Engineering and Architecture schools won the BIC for their inven-tion, Cloud Catcher, which is “an energy-saving, water-harvesting wall that employs hydrophilic and hydro-phobic relationships to remove water from outside air and pass clean, fresh air to building occupants,” according to the BIC website. The Cloud Catcher was inspired by the Namib Desert beetle, which collects water by standing in the way of a fog cloud and facing upwind. The tiny water droplets in the fog are caught in hydrophilic bumps on its wings. When a drop becomes heavy

and large enough, it rolls down the beetle’s back and into its mouth. The Cloud Catcher uses a similar mechanical structure to create the same hydrophilic and hydrophobic relationship and catch droplets, which are then directed down the surface to be collected. The second place prize of $500 went to students Qihui Fan, Wenqi Hu and Aaron Ohta. Their project was called Organ Assembly in Vi-tro, which is “a microbubble robot system that assembles single liv-ing cells to form tissues and organs outside of the body,” according to their description. Third place and $250 was awarded to Jon White for Fly-Sailing, his “high-speed sailboat inspired by the Jesus lizard to provide more stability and make it more usable for a broader range of markets including personal, com-mercial and military applications.”

THE BREAKTHROUGH INNOVATION CHALLENGE This year’s competition focused on biomimicry, which is “a new sci-ence that studies nature’s models and uses these designs and process-es to solve human problems,” ac-cording to biomicry.net. Its applica-tions include reducing energy waste using smooth spirals when moving fl uids from place to place and maxi-mizing the strength of common ma-terials by using structural patterns from bones or tree trunks. The competition ran from Oct. 1 until the video submission deadline on Oct. 17. Awards were presented on Nov. 7 after three phases of the overall challenge: submission of a two-minute YouTube video detailing their project and its place in the mar-ket, announcement of fi nalists and coaching of fi nalists by a business mentor and a fi nal presentation to a judging panel and live audience.

“The Breakthrough Innovation Challenge was a unique competi-tion that forced us to think outside of our comfort zones and look to nature for inspiration,” Umeda said in a press release. “These competi-tions are effective catalysts to help stimulate the type of innovation Hawai‘i desperately needs.” The debut of the Breakthrough Innovation Challenge, which is the fi rst challenge of its kind at the Uni-versity of Hawai‘i, was held in the fall of 2009 by the PACE, which now partners with the UH College of En-gineering and the William S. Rich-ardson School of Law. It supports young innovators and works to bring recognition to their efforts while cre-ating connections and networking between the innovators and related community leaders within the uni-versity who are likely to be able to as-sist them in these and future endeav-ors, according to the BIC website.

Relaxation tips for fi nals

week

GET A CLEAN START If you cannot get yourself to study, try tak-ing a shower or bath. This can help you feel like you have a fresh start, reinvigorating and motivating you to keep studying. Girls can shave their legs to focus on one thing, rather than allowing thoughts of unfi nished projects to cloud their minds. It also boosts that feel-ing of cleanliness when you step out of the shower. Painting your nails has a similar ef-fect, as it forces you to slow down and focus on completing one thing at a time.

TREAT YOURSELF Although stress eating has a series of problematic results, eating a delectable des-

sert or quick snack can help raise morale. Chocolate is one of the most common types of comfort food and for good reason. The tryp-tophan and serotonin found in chocolate can induce feelings of relaxation and well-being. The small amounts of caffeine in chocolate can also give you a kick so you are extra alert.

KEEP CROSSING THINGS OFF If all else fails, keep crossing things off of your to-do list. Start with the smaller and more manageable projects and then move to the bigger and more complex assigments. The sense of accomplishment that you gain from each task you successfully finish will fuel your motivation to tackle the next.

During fi nals week, students have their own methods of stress relief. With fi nals approaching, it is important for us to manage our stress wisely. Here are some ideas to consider:

DRINK WATER OR TEA Eighty-fi ve percent of the brain is water, and all brain functions de-pend on adequate hydration. Water gives the brain electrical energy. “When you are functioning on a full reserve of water you will be able to think faster, be more focused and experience greater clar-ity and creativity,” said Merlin Hearn, author of “Water and Brain Function: How to Improve Memory and Focus.” Hot tea can help you wind down after a long and stressful day, as it has multiple calming effects. In addition, it is calorie-free and contains antioxidants.

I am a Monsanto Fellowship recipient, and I want to clear up much of the confusion surrounding the scholarships. It seems most peo-ple don’t know what my research is, how the funding is used or what kind of connection we as recipients have to Monsanto. First of all, all information about how the award works is available publicly online, and in-formation on the specifi c award-ees and their projects can easily be obtained by contacting College of Tropical Agriculture and Hu-man Resources administration; better yet, something one can do which I can vouch has never been done by naysayers, is to ask the ac-tual recipients themselves what the money is used for, how and why we were awarded it and what our obli-gations are to Monsanto or anyone else as a result of it. I want to share my story, my research and my involvement with the Monsanto Fellowship, how it works and hopefully answer some lingering questions.

WHY I GOT THE MONSANTO FELLOWSHIP I have studied bananas for more than 10 years; in high school, I decided to commit my academic ca-reer to the study of tropical agricul-ture. I completed my undergraduate in the CTAHR Tropical Plant and Soil Science program, and during that time, I helped to start the Student Or-ganic Farm Training Student Farm, a program to provide hands-on experi-ence in sustainable and organic agri-culture for the UH community. I was off ered the chance to pursue my master’s studying natu-

rally occurring resistance to the dev-astating Banana bunchy top virus, essentially looking for bananas that naturally are not aff ected by the vi-rus. I started to work on this project independently as an undergrad, and I worked with my advisor to get a grant to fund my studies as a gradu-ate student. This research is a direct alternative to the main research be-ing done in this area, which is trying to create GMO bunchy top virus resis-tant bananas. This was to be a three year proj-ect, and the fi rst two years were fund-ed by a USDA grant. When that grant was due to run out, I had to search for other funding to continue my re-search. Monsanto had just donated $500,000 to CTAHR to fund graduate students in plant science. The quali-fi cations for receiving the funding are that you study plants, keep good grades and have shown merit in the past. The selection process is 100 per-cent internal within CTAHR by faculty and administration.

BREAKDOWN OF FUNDING I applied for multiple scholar-ships through the UH system includ-ing the Monsanto Fellowship, and I even applied for multiple other grants, but the only one I was awarded was the Monsanto Fellowship, which was $25,000 a year for one year. $20,500 is allocated for my re-search assistantship stipend, $3,000 is for research supplies and expens-es. In my case, this portion funded pots, potting mix, aphid cages and lab virus testing supplies; the fi nal $1,500 is awarded upon comple-tion for travel to a conference of my choice to present my research. As a recipient of the fellowship, I have

been able to get a master’s degree, fi nd improved banana varieties for Hawai‘i farmers, distribute those plants to farmers and gardeners across the state free of charge and donate more than 4,000 pounds of bananas from my research plot. Monsanto has absolutely zero say or infl uence on what I do. It gave the money to CTAHR, and CTAHR gave the money to me. Monsanto is not involved in the se-lection process at all and has no in-volvement in the research projects. Monsanto isn’t concerned with my research, as they have their own labs and professional scientists work-ing internationally on projects they really care about; Monsanto cares about supporting the next genera-tion of crop scientists, but not what those future scientists are doing for their graduate projects. This is true for all of the fellowship recipients. The fellowship fund is the only money CTAHR has received from Monsanto, and it was rela-tively small compared to the total amount of money in CTAHR for research. A frequent mantra I’ve heard is that “all of CTAHR has ac-cepted money from Monsanto.” This is a fl at out lie based on igno-rance and hearsay. For 2012 and 2013, which is as long as Monsanto’s one-time dona-tion of $500,000 has been around, CTAHR faculty and staff have been awarded approximately $45,000,000 in extramural funds; this makes fund-ing to CTAHR by Monsanto at just a hair over 1 percent of total outside funds. All of this info is publicly avail-able on the CTAHR website, which publicizes the funding for all CTAHR research projects.

The same government that can intercept any digital communication on the face of the earth does not seem to be able to process the information that citizens voluntarily provide about their eligibility for health insurance. The NSA surveillance controversy and the tortured rollout of the Obamacare website are two sides of the same coin. They explain why Americans are so angry about the government. But, as a rule, we get the government we deserve. Political institutions work well when citizens are engaged: following the news, elect-ing good representatives and pitching in our-selves to address serious national problems like health care and national security. When people are detached, governments generally fail. So where are we going to get more ac-tive and responsible citizens? That’s where you come in; you can

be an effective citizen. Civic engagement that improves the world almost always has three characteristics. It is deliberative: Citi-zens talk and listen to fellow citizens who may disagree with them. It is collaborative: Citizens actually roll up their sleeves and work together, building or saving or pro-ducing goods. And it creates civic relation-ships and partnerships among people who want to improve the world together. If you are not doing civic work, you should think about getting involved. Many thousands of college students are volunteers and activists. If you are already active, you should connect with other people who are also involved. Even if they work on diff erent issues or come from diff erent communities, they face the same challenges. For instance, why does our political sys-tem cater to professionally led, well-funded

interests instead of citizens who deliberate and collaborate? Why do schools and colleges off er so little civic education? Why is so little funding available for citizens’ groups? Why do the news and entertainment media rarely depict citizens working together to address problems? You need to sit down with other active citizens to discuss how to change policies, laws, funding streams and media coverage so that citizen work can flourish and pros-per again. That will begin to build a move-ment of active citizens, which is the only thing that can improve our democracy.

Coming from a town where seeing more than one homeless person was a big deal, Hawaiʻi has truly opened my eyes to homeless-ness. This land is known for aloha, a spirit of love and care among its people and the land. As an outsider, the love people have for one an-other feels tangible, which leads me to ask: How is the number of homeless people so high when aloha means ‘their pain is our pain’? I’m currently a senior at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa; this semester, I was for-tunate to take a class in which I could advo-cate for homelessness, an issue I’m passionate about. When I took a small survey among the UH students, I found that the high majority of students care about the issue and would get involved if they knew how. After referring them to the organizations that I knew of, I realized something. The love and care for the homeless was like a bucket being fi lled with sympathy, when it should instead be a fl owing pipeline taking that love and care and turning it into ac-tion and progress. We shouldn’t have to wait indefi nitely until an organization comes along to actively do some-thing about the issue. It starts with us with little actions like changing the way we interact with the homeless on a daily basis. If we all take the time to show our compassion for those we walk past each day, we will get somewhere. Looking at the issue of homelessness, I personally cannot solve it. Though I can do my part by being that pipeline of love to those on the streets. Whether it is with a smile, through conversation, with a blanket I don’t use any-more or with an 89-cent bagel, it’s easy to be a part of the solution. If we start by actively showing our love and care for those on the streets through simple gestures, I believe we’ll gain more ground on the issue of homeless-ness. If we allow it, aloha can be powerful and uplifting to all, homeless and non-homeless alike, and only then will we see true change and progress on this difficult issue.

With no collegiate athletics and a population that could fit in the Mer-cedes-Benz Superdome with room to spare, the island of Kaua‘i is far from a hotspot in the world of sports. But for one day, the eyes of Hawai‘i’s basketball fans will be focused on the Gar-den Isle as the Rainbow Warrior basket-ball team (6-2) faces off with Chaminade (4-3) in its annual neighbor island game. This matchup will mark the War-riors’ fifth time playing on an island other than O‘ahu in four years. UH is undefeated in these games, winning by an average margin of 16.
