The play “One Tattered Angel,” based on the book by Blaine M. Yorgason and adapted for stage by Dr. Craig Ferre. The play runs for three nights in the McKay Auditori-um starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are sold at the Aloha Center Information Desk and at the doors a half-hour before show time.

T H U R s d a Y6Outdoor clothing company Patagonia and Kina‘ole Capital Partners, LLC, a local solar finance company, are working together to create a fund to purchase more than 1,000 roof-top solar energy systems in Hawaii. The partnership with the California-based clothier and Kina‘ole was announced on Oct. 15. They want to help out Hawaii solar business-es and help residents reduce energy bills. Patagonia will contribute $13 million to this investment to the fund that totals $27 million. Kina‘ole will then make the funds available to all qualified local solar installation companies in Hawaii. According to a press release issued by Patagonia, “Kina‘ole Capital Partners is a financial services company that offers custom-ers the option of enjoying a solar energy system at no up-front cost.” Customers agree to purchase solar electricity generated by the solar energy system that is less than the local utility’s rate. This lower electricity cost provides immediate savings to the customer and serves to reduce the amount of electricity that is purchased from the utility grid. Patagonia and its affiliates are encouraging other companies like them-selves to invest in local solutions for a better planet. According to Patagonia’s CEO, Rose Marcario, “Business is in a unique position to accelerate the creation of renewable energy infrastructure.”

In Hawaii, renewable energy only accounts for 10 percent of the statewide con-sumption, says fund information. Patagonia and Kina‘ole predict because of their efforts greenhouse gas emissions will decrease by 153, 000 tons of CO2, the equivalent to 323, 000 barrels of oil, 75,000 tons of coal or tak-ing 29, 000 passenger vehicles off the road. Installation of the rooftop solar panels will subsequently create hundreds of jobs for Hawaii’s solar industry workers, according to fund information. One such benefactor of the Patagonia and Kina‘ole $27 million fund is Kohl Christensen’s solar installation company based on Oahu. Kina‘ole founders Blair Herbert and Andrew Yani said they are excited for this project in collaboration with Patagonia “as its leadership in the area of environmental re-sponsibility aligns perfectly with our business model of displacing expensive, dirty electric-ity.” More information about Kina‘ole is available at www.kinaolecapital.com.

Businesses from all around the state and the nation came to seek out potential candidates for employment. BYU-Hawaii’s Career Fair on Oct. 23 gave students and community members the opportunity to meet with potential employers, businesses, universities, and career specialists.. The Career Fair is set up for students to connect with businesses and have opportunities to network. The students can talk to business professionals in a low-pressure circumstance and in a comfortable environment. The Aloha Center Ballroom was set up with tables, booths, and chairs to give prospective employees places to roam and talk with the employers and specialists who were gathered. Juan Oranoz, a Career Service staff mentor and senior studying human resources, said, “Our goal is to have students get placed in a career.” Oranoz said even if students are not able to get hired at the Career Fair, they will become familiar with the processes each business uses to hire their employees and can begin preparing for their future careers. “This is a chance to network and figure out how to get hired in the real world,” said Oranoz. Sherwin Williams Paint District Manager David Katsuda said what he is looking for in potential employees. “We just need people to be approachable and have a good personality. We say we are looking for people with business background, but in the end, it’s all about interpersonal skills.” The training and experience comes with time on the job, said Katsuda. “We have so many training programs you will go through to help you acquire the skills you need to be suc-cessful in our business.” Businesses came with the intention to find someone to hire that day. Pizza Hut, Urban Outfitters and more had applications they handed out to students. Dario Arias, a senior studying business from Argentina, said, “There were a few opportunities to find jobs. Even Pepsico and H&R Block were hiring. I was able to get a lot of business cards and contact numbers.” Arias said he believes anywhere there is an opportunity students should look into it and the Career Fair is a great place to find those opportunities. “Now I have some cards on the table to choose from,” said Arias. Contact Career Services for more information on the Career Fair, boosting your resume, and other opportunities to get into the career of your dreams.

Ping-Pong tourneybrings the heat De Leon crowned king of the court

A freshman from the Philippines, Jarome de Leon, who happened to walk into the Old Gym on the night of the

competition, was the winner of the Oct. 22 campus Ping-Pong tournament. “I didn’t plan on playing Ping-Pong,” de Leon said. “I had no idea there was a Ping-Pong tournament going on. I was on my way to the gym, and it started raining so I went through the Old Gym. I saw there was Ping-Pong going on, and I asked if I could play.” The tournament was set up with four tables and each round was played until one player reached 21 points. Over the past two semesters, the Ping-Pong tournaments have been ex-tremely competitive, said Intramurals staffer Emily Thompson. Thompson, a senior in graphic design from Arizona, said, “I hope everyone has a great time and can improve their Ping-Pong skills. The winner will have to work hard for their T-shirt. No handouts here.” When asked about how he prepared for this semesters tournament, Andrew Monahan, a senior in business management from Pennsylvania, said, “I bought a new paddle. It’s got a spin rating of 92. I did lots of plyometrics. I run up Laie Falls once a week. Honestly, the biggest part of any preparation is getting your mental game straight.”

The first match of the evening was between two previ-ous winners: Andrew Monahan and Tugi Batsaikhan. Batsaikhan said he plays Ping-Pong at least twice a week in the hales. When asked why he likes Ping-Pong, Batsaikhan said, “I like Ping-Pong because it’s good exercise. It keeps me active.” After three hours of play, a winner was announced. De Leon was crowned the champ. The win did not come easy. He battled numerous rounds to get his first-place finish, staffers said. There will be another tournament for students during the Winter Semester. Stop by The Hub to sharpen your Ping-Pong game for next semester.

Newlyweds Melvin and Jessica Kumar share their blend of Indian, Malaysian, and experi-mental cooking at every BYU-Hawaii Farmers Market to give students and community members a “taste that fills the soul” with Kumar’s Kitchen. “My mom was the backbone,” Mel-vin said. “She taught me everything I know.” Now the Kumar’s take his mother’s recipes, add their own twist to them and created the flavor Kumar’s Kitchen’s has today. Melvin is Indian, but grew up in Malaysia and Jessica is from Florida. The couple met at BYUH and have been mar-ried for almost a year. The Kumars said they enjoy cooking for each other and wanted to share it with others. Jessica said the food is a mix of Malaysian and Indian styles. It is a unique taste that keeps people coming back. Melvin said, “We both really enjoy cooking and have always cooked good food in the house. We wondered if others ate as

well as us?” With this question in mind, the Kumars began to cook for their friends and neighbors. The food was an instant hit with everyone who tasted it, the couple said, so with these favorable reviews, they began set-ting up at the Farmers Markets on campus. Now the Kumars are at the Farmers Market every other Friday from 10:30 a.m., to 2 p.m. Tyler Wares, a senior in business from California, said of their cooking, “The satayed chicken in peanut sauce was amazing. I also liked the flavorful but clean taste of the Tandoori chicken.” The Kumars’ slogan is “Taste that fills the soul.” Melvin said he prepares and cooks with this idea in his head, that way all the food comes out the best for the customer. Each week the menu changes and they are trying new things. Jessica said, “I love see-ing the people enjoy the food. That is what makes it all worth it for me.” TrenTon Mccollogh

Newlyweds create Asian fusion food that ‘fills the soul’

7OCTOBeR 30, 2014

The original stage adaptation of Blaine M. Yorganson’s book, “One Tattered Angel,” is scheduled to make its on stage debut Nov. 7-9 at the McKay Auditorium. “This is a world premiere play in that the author of the book gave special permission for the play to be written and produced here,” said Cameron Abaroa, the leading man in the play and a senior in IDS from Arizona. “This is a great testament to the Theatre Arts program here and to Dr. Ferre especially,” said Abaroa. The book was adapted by Dr. Craig Ferre, professor of Theatre and Speech at BYUH, and is based on the true story of Yorgason’s adopted daughter. Ferre said, “About three years ago during the summer my wife gave me a copy of it to read. After having read it, I thought, ‘Geez, this could make a great play.’ It took me about a year to get in touch with Brother Yorgason to get his permission to even at-

tempt it. It took another year after I sent in my adaptation to say that it’s okay.” Yorgason is an LDS Church member and his book reflects LDS themes, according to Ferre. “I can count on my hand the number of plays that I’ve done during my time here that are church-related. They talk about giving blessings to the child, pray-ing and some of the occurrences that we as members would believe in - like interacting with deity,” Ferre said. Ferre hopes the play will resonate with students due to its gospel-centered mes-sage. “I actually did a play some years ago called ‘Burdens of Earth’ which was about Joseph Smith in Carthage Jail. Yet it really wasn’t well atteneded. So I’m hoping students will come and be uplifted. It’s an incredible story,” he said. Valorie Lafaele, a sophomore from Idaho studying musical theatre, said it is an amazing opportunity for the school to premiere such a play. “We’re laying out the groundwork for what it’s going to be in the future.” Lafaele also said she feels the com-munity will better relate to this play even if they are not fans of theatre. “It’s a LDS-based play so there’s a lot of people that will under-

stand it more other than ‘Lady Windemere’s Fan’. I can understand why people couldn’t understand it as well. With this one, it’s close to home for all the LDS members. It’s emotional and serious but uplifting.” Ferre noted the risk in adapting a book to stage because of needing to write lots of dialogue. “I don’t know if it’s going to work as theatre because it’s a book put into a play. That can be dangerous because sometimes books are ‘talky’ and this play can be a little ‘talky.’ I don’t know if there’s enough action or whether the audience will get tired.” Ferre said he has no plans to publish the play after its debut. “At this point we’re just going to do it here.” he said. “That’s all I’ve been interested in because I wanted to do it for our students. I thought it was a great story they should hear and be involved in. When I talked to Blaine, I said I only wanted to do it here for our students and he agreed,” said Dr. Ferre. Tickets will be sold in advance at the Aloha Center Information Desk but may also be purchased at the lobby ticket office 30 minutes before the show at 7:30 p.m.

Disney is adding a Polynesian princess, “Moana,” to its roster of princesses in 2016, according to Disney’s official blog. The full-length animated film will focus on Moana, “a spirited teenager on an impos-sible mission to fulfill her ancestors’ quest.” The movie is set in the ancient South Pacific world of “Oce-ania.” The princess teams up with the demigod, Maui, to “traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking underworlds and ancient folklore,” according to Disney’s blog. “I like that by Disney having a Polynesian princess brings culture diversity,” said Jansen Tesoro from Nevada, a senior in ele-mentary education. Tesoro continued, “Plus I think an island princess will be the prettiest of all Disney princesses.” In the official announcement by filmmaker John Musker, he said, “Moana is indomitable, passionate and a dreamer with a unique connection to the ocean itself. She’s the kind of character we all root for, and we can’t wait to introduce her to audiences.” Musker and Ron Clements are filmmakers creating “Moana” and are the same team behind “The Little Mermaid,” “The Princess And The Frog,” and “Aladdin.” Musker and Clements said they made several trips to Hawaii when planning the film, seeking insight into how growing up surrounded by an ocean affects a person’s point of view. Musker and Clements have done their research, according to BYU-Hawaii student Ezra Peterika and wife, Sarah Peterika. Moana is a very popular name in Hawaii, and the Peterikas named their daughter Elena Tausala o le Moana, meaning princess of the ocean in Samoan. “Elena will be so excited to know there is a Disney prin-cess who shares her name!” The Peterikas hope this new movie will stay true to Hawaiian culture and have no doubt Disney will deliver. Upon hearing about the new Polynesian princess, Moana, BYUH Alumni Gwyenne Cashen said, “This is the best news ever [and] 2016 can’t come soon enough.”

On a sunny Friday afternoon in the Little Circle, Talo Siva, a cadet in the

BYU-Hawaii ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Train-ing Corp), was surrounded by friends and family as he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the United States Army. Siva, a recent graduate of BYU-Hawaii from American Samoa, smiled as he fought back emotions. “I made it. I did it. It was a tough journey, a lot of stress, but I made it. Thank you all for giving up your lunch to come. Thank you so much for com-ing,” Siva said. The BYUH ROTC is a college-based program for training commissioned officers of the United States Armed Forces. As a part of ROTC, students may receive merit-based scholarships, covering all or part of college tuition in exchange for obliga-tory military service. At BYUH, ROTC has a physical training portion held here on campus with a classroom section held weekly at the University of Hawaii Manoa campus in Honolulu. Siva said it was difficult to balance school, work and attend class in Manoa. “I didn’t have a car, but luckily the school helped us with cars. Sometimes though we couldn’t get cars and we had to take the bus. That was rough,” said Siva. Tanner Farley, a junior studying music from Utah, is the detachment leader

here at BYUH. Farley said there are cur-rently nine students in the program. “ROTC is a really good option for financial support, career opportunities, and leadership. It offers a very secure career path, and it’s a great way to kickstart a career. The main thing we want people to know is that it’s a good opportu-nity and it’s available.” Ni Shipeng, a sophomore studying ICS from China, said, “I’ve never consid-ered going into the military, but I think that it’s a great way to teach you discipline and responsibility. I think you can only really learn these things in the military or serving a mission.” Siva said he signed up after friends who went through the program encouraged him to join ROTC. “It’s a great program for those who are undecided. My advice is to try it out. If it’s yours, go for it,” said Siva.Siva will be entering the Army Reserves in his native American Samoa and will partici-pate in monthly reserve exercises while hop-ing to teach elementary education. Major John Carson, the ranking officer at the commission ceremony, said of Siva, “If I had one word to describe Siva, it would be perseverance. To come from American Samoa, fulfill his responsibilities, drive from the North Shore every week, and achieve his goals is truly remarkable.”

Actress, TV personality, and ani-mal activist, Betty White made her TV debut in 1939 and did ra-dio shows in the 1940s. Working in Hollywood in the 1950s, she became one of the few women to have creative control behind the camera, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Winner of six Emmy Awards, this golden girl continues her acting career at age 92, currently performing as a main character in the sitcom, “Hot in Cleveland.” White continues to be active in the environmental community work-ing with the Los Angeles Zoo commission, the African Wildlife Foundation, and the American Humane Association, accord-ing to the foundations’ websites. White was recently deemed an honorary forest ranger in 2010, according to the Huffington Post.

The deep-voiced crooner who gave us the song “Can’t Get Enough of Your Love, Baby,” grew up in Los Angeles, Calif., and was immediately immersed in the music business. White or-ganized other musicians into the Love Unlimited Orchestra, and a girl group called Love Unlimited, according to Biography.com. He not only performed, but also composed and directed, original works. White was known as “the Walrus of Love,” a nickname that encompassed his size, deep voice, and reputation as one of R&B’s most romantic singers. Barry White died in 2003 from a stroke as he awaited a kidney transplant, having suffered from high blood pressure for years.

Born to two rocket scientists, this comedic actor started performing in high school, and joined an acting troupe called the Actor’s Gang, whose motto was “dare to be stupid.” Since then, Black has never stopped acting, doing small roles until Black’s big break in 2000, when the scruffy man played a music-obsessed store clerk in “High Fidelity.” Black has since earned fame and fortune voicing the main character in the movies “Kung Fu Panda” and playing the lead role in “School of Rock,” where Black showcased his trademark manic energy.

This rock and roll husband and wife duo became the indie rock band, The White Stripes. Guitar-ist Jack Gillis married drummer Meg White, and took her last name to become Jack White. The two kept the nature of their relationship a secret for a while, letting people assume they were siblings. The reason for this, according to Rolling Stones, was to keep the public’s focus on the music and not the relationship. The White Stripes disbanded after its final concert in 2007 but came together one last time in 2009 to perform on the final ‘Late Night with Conan O’Brien’ show, according to RollingStone. Since then, Meg White has slipped out of the public scene, while Jack White continues to produce music, his most recent work being the album “Laza-retto,” which was released June 14, 2014.

Harry Potter’s godfather, Sirius Black, was best friends with James Potter, and was estranged from his pureblood fanatic family when he was sorted into Gryffindor. Black was wrong-fully put into Azkaban, the wizard prison, but managed to escape because of Black’s hidden animal-changing ability. Black escaped by transforming into a large black dog. Black provided a warm, guiding light to the orphaned Harry Potter and came to the rescue when Harry broke into the Ministry of Magic. Black sacrificed himself to save his god-son Potter. Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledor said, “Sirius was a brave, clever, and ener-getic man, and such men are not usually content to sit at home in hiding while they believe others to be in danger.”

2 0 1 4Music Club creates album with or ig inal songs by BYU-Hawai i students

O riginal songs produced by the BYU-Hawaii Student Music Association will be featured at a free concert in the McKay

Auditorium on Saturday, Nov. 29. Braden Wiscombe, a sophomore from California studying business administration, is president of the Music Club and said a lot of work has been put into the album. Wiscombe said, “We start off with finding musicians, people who are ready, and then doing auditions. After that we take every single musician and do a rough take of their song that only takes around 30 minutes. I take it home and adjust the levels so the audio is listenable. Then we add in all the extra instruments and harmonies. Finally we re-record the main in-strument and vocals. Once all that’s done, I take it and mix each part and master the song so that it sounds good on an iPhone, computer or car radio. Each song takes a couple of hours each depending on coordinating schedules and how fast people can record.” Kalima Watson, a junior studying business management from Honolulu, is one of the students performing an original song on the album. “I think the coolest thing about it is all the people recording songs are students. I’m just a random guy from Honolulu recording a song. I’ve never recorded anything before. I’ve always played in venues and stuff but never sat down in front of a mic so I thought it’d be a good opportunity,” said Watson. Wiscombe said the album will feature a variety of music. “There’s some that are slow and laid back while others are pure instrumental and heavy guitar. We have country songs and uke songs too. It should be a full-sounding album with a bit of variety,” said Wiscombe.

Dr. David Kammerer, associate professor of Music and the faculty advisor for the Music Club, said recording songs is a experience for aspiring musicians. “It’s a real world experience we have been lacking...I’m happy to see that through the club avenue students are taking advantage of the opportunity. We also have some new management in the Media Production Center who are more open to making the use of these facilities available to students for their projects,” said Kammerer. The physical album will only be available at FoodFest, according to Wiscombe. “People can only buy tickets there because of the school’s policies on clubs and fundraising. The albums will be distributed at the concert and everyone who is a member of the club will receive a free copy of the album. We’re trying to keep it really cheap for the general public so we hope to sell it for around $3.” Wiscombe said his passion for the project comes from wanting to give students the opportunity to record. “I think it’s something that is just naturally a good idea because there are a lot of people who are talented with writing music. To give someone the opportunity to record it is a great thing because if you go to a pro-fessional studio, it’s going to be extremely expensive. We thought if we could provide something for the students to get their foot in the door of trying this out that it would be really cool for them. I think anybody who hears about it gets interested because it’s something new.” The album’s quality is solid, said Wiscombe. “Lots of time you’ll walk around campus and see people without realizing they’re so musically talented. I hope that as people find out more about this album that the interest in being part of future projects will increase so we can get more variety. When we have students from all around the world, we definitely get some cool stuff going on,” he said.

Kami Dixon from Utah, a sopho-more finishing her associate’s degree, said she usually starts her day with a protein shake and fruit or eggs to help her stay focused in school throughout the day. Dixon said, “If I eat sugar cereal, then I get hungry earlier in the day and then I’m only focused on when I’m going to eat next.”

We are what we eat and to “eat to win” is mentally understanding what we put into our bodies affects our focus, energy and well being throughout the course of the day. CEO Matt Mayberry told Entrepre-neur magazine he starts his days with a green smoothie. “There is no better way to feed our mind and bodies than consuming an alkaliz-ing drink such as a green smoothie first thing in the morning.”

6. Decide

Jess ica TauTfesT

10 ways to become the most productive p e r s o n a r o u n dAs midterms wind down, or wind-up depending on your class load, it’s always a good idea to be organized and on top of things. Matt Mayberry, CEO of Matt Mayberry Enterprises and BYU-Hawaii students shared their tips to help students in and after school.

“Either at night or in the morning I always watch a conference talk. It really helps my have the spirit to focus,” said Samantha Zuro, a freshman in biology from Utah.

Planning your day the night before helps you to sleep better because you mind is not restless thinking about all you have to do the next day. Mayberry said he spends 10 to 15 minutes every night planning so when he wakes up, he is “ready to hit the ground running, knowing exactly what has to get done.”

Mayberry said the most important key to being productive is to decide to do so. Once you have made up your mind you will be productive, you have won half the battle. You must then challenge yourself to see how much you can accomplish any given day, said Mayberry.

“I write in my planner every single day, and if I don’t, then I usually forget to do something,” said Alex Leek, sophomore in EXS from Indiana,. Leek said the key for her staying on top of what she needs to do is to make sure she writes all her assignments down in her planner.

1. Eat to win

2. Jump-start your day

3. Plan your day the night before

10. To-do list

5. Good-bye electronics

9. ONE Hour to greatness

4. Do not disturb

8. Take time to be spiritually edified

7. Best tip ever

“I print out a calendar for every month with a list of what is due assignment wise and other activities. It helps me stay on top of things,” said Tonga Sablan from Washington, a junior in ICS. Sablan said using a visual aid, in his case a calendar, is the best tool for productivity. “If I want to attend an activity, I can see what other things I have to get done first.”

Turning off his computer and going to the library helps Spen-cer Forest, a junior in computer science from New Caledonia, get things done. Despite having most of his programing homework on the computer, when there are others things to do, “I turn off my computer. It’s hard but if I don’t, I get distracted,” said Forest.

“This is one whole hour, first thing in the morning, that is dedicated to preparing my mind, body and spirit for the day ahead,” said Mayberry. For him, this routine consists of reading an uplifting book, writing his goals while visualizing the achievement of each goal, medi-tating and listening to motivational messages. You too can skyrocket your productivity by indulging your mind in uplifting messages as you get ready in the morning, whether it’s reading scriptures, reciting your personal mantra or listening to good music. Starting your day positively can help you achieve greatness.

Turn off your phone and set apart time where you can’t be bothered or distracted by calls, texts, and notifications. This can help you get things done.
