According to a recent Maryland study,Food InsecurityAmong CommunityCollege Students: Prevalence andAssociation With Grade PointAverage,approximately 56% of communitycollege students struggle with foodinsecurity.

In Hawaii students withfinancial aid often push themselves towork extra hours to cover high rent; asa result their grades suffer. As tuitioncontinues to rise students have lessmoney for other essential expenseslike books, transportation and food.

Windward Community College, inpartnership with the State of HawaiiDepartment of Human Services, hascreated a new program called HINETHo’ola Ike (gift of knowledge) todeliver assistance and support forstudents enrolled in college andworkforce training.

Student recreates the Mercury Friendship 7 capsuleby Hannah BaileyK ‘Ohana StaffReporter

In1962, Senator John Glenn

became the first Americanto orbit the Earth in a one-

man capsule named Friendship 7, a feat that launchedAmerica’s Space Programinto the global competitionof space exploration. Now,students, faculty and staffcan get a better idea of whatthat first orbit might have feltlike as a replica of the capsuletemporarily sits in Hale ‘Imiloa, the brainchild of WCCstudent Roger Garrett.

Garrett said he dreamedof being an astronaut and wasalways fascinated by the engineering programs at NASA.

“When I went off to college, I started out in theaerospace engineering program at Northrop Instituteof Technology, with the hopeof working for NASA or ideally to actually become anastronaut,” he said. “Thatdidn’t work out as planned.I graduated with a degreein mathematics and endedup with a career in software

engineering. I decided thateven if I couldn’t be part ofthe actual space missions,I could at least build myvery own Mercury spacecapsule.”

According to Garrett, thereplica took two years to produce. He started the processby crafting different sectionsof the capsule and then put itall together in the end.

“The overall model ismade of several sub-assemblies, each such sub-assemblyconsisting of a set of the castparts and supported on theinterior by wooden sectionsbonded to the interior,” Garrett said.

Using just rigid foamshaped by small hot-wiretools or by hand as well ascast molds also made byhand, Garrett made the entirereplica in the small livingroom of his apartment.

While Garrett’s replica only had to travel fromhis home to WCC, the realFriendship 7 traveled 81,000miles during Glenn’s nearly5-hour flight, in which itcircled the Earth three times.

Glenn attended manytechnical institutions to obtain the training to becomean experienced pilot andengineer.

He flew 59 combat missions in World War II and 90missions in two tours duringthe Korean War.

After NASA selected himfor the Mercury team, hewent to NASA’s MannedSpacecraft Center in 1962,where he became a backuppilot for other astronauts andeven helped design space-crafts that contributed tothe creation of the Apolloprogram, which landed thefirst Americans—Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin—onthe moon.

Upon reentry to theearth’s atmosphere duringhis own historic flight, theheat created by the frictionduring Friendship 7’s descentcaused a malfunction in theautopilot, and so Glenn safelypiloted the landing himself.

Garrett’s replica of thecapsule will remain in Hale‘Imiloa for at least anothersix months.

changes in the land as theywere taking place during thebuilding of the H-3 freeway.Hamasaki and Landgraf began documenting the lengthyprocess when the community’s concerns rose over thedesecration of burial sites andreligious structures along thefreeway’s path. The entireproject took over eight yearsto complete and acts as a re

cord for new generations tounderstand what was lost inthe name of progress.

“I want people to knowthe environmental impact ofbuilding this freeway,” Hamasaki said. “Right now, youdon’t really see it because it’sbeen there and you’re elevatedabove the ground. This wasgoing through pristine land.”

Originally proposed in

1960 just after Hawai’i becamethe 50th State, the 15-milefreeway connects Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Pu’uloaand the Marine Corps BaseHawai’i on Mokapu Peninsula in Kane’ohe. It tunnelsthrough the Ko’olau Mountains between Halawa andHa’iku valleys.

Community groups ledby Native Hawaiians, culturalpreservationists and environmentalists succeeded indelaying the project but wereultimately unable to stop it. In1986, Hawai’i’s Senator DanielInouye removed the last obstacles by pushing throughCongress an exemption forthe H-3 from the Transportation Act, which would haveenforced environmental lawsand restricted the building ofthe freeway. In 1997, the freeway was completed despitetwo and a half decades ofprotest and litigation.

The highway was also promoted in the community as ameans of speeding up vehicular travel and reducing traffic

Mother’s Day is coming up, but why dowe celebrate our

mothers? Here’s what startedthe tradition and how some inour community celebrate theirmothers.

According to AmericasLibrary.gov, the U.S. celebratedits first official Mother’s Dayon May 14, 1914. PresidentWoodrow Wilson declared itan official holiday and askedall citizens to give a publicthank you to their mothers andall the work that mothers do.

Prior to that, Anna Jarviswas the woman who founded

the Mother’s AppreciationClub at her neighborhoodchurch in Philadelphia, whichmet on May 14, 1908, in memoriam of her mother.

According to a May 2015Buzzfeed article, Russell Con-well, the founder of Philadelphia’s Temple University,openly complimented Jarvis’sneed to appreciate mothersaround the country and herdrive to make Mother’s Daya universal holiday. This inspired the state governor tojoin in, which led other stategovernors to encourage theseMother’s Day celebrations andsparking a flame across thecountry.

The holiday endures to-

day, often marked by cards,flowers, brunches and phonecalls. However, some WCCstudents have special plansthis year.

Eliana Christianson willbe surprising her mother byflying to her home in California for Mother’s Day.

“Usually my family and Itake my mom out to dinner forMother’s Day,” Christiansonsaid. “This is the first timeI’ll be able to spend Mother’sDay with her in about twoyears, since I moved out hereto Hawai’i.”

Cynthia Sinclair will celebrate Mother’s Day by havinga reunion with all of her siblings for the first time in years.

“They’re allcoming to visitthe island for the firsttime to celebrate on thebeach where we scatteredour mother’s ashes,” she said.“It’s the first time we’ve allbeen able to be together sinceshe passed, and it’s going to bereally sweet.”

Justin Poaha is planning abig family bash on the beach.

“We’re gonna have a bar-

beque and do some fishingand most likely play horseshoes and play music,” hesaid.

Poaha said he celebrateshis mother for her uniqueness.

“My favorite thing aboutmy mom is how strong

she is at times, andshe can be reallycrazy.”

Take the timeto celebrate your

mother onMay 13.

Students find help with food stamps and more at HINETby Cynthia Lee Sinclair

Kz ‘Ohana StaffReporter

HINET Ho’ola Ike is aprogram that very few

students know about thatprovides financial assistancewhile students attend school.It can help with gas moneythrough a mileage reimbursement. It distributes buspasses so that students canget to school. It even helpspay for books and other supplies. That way, a student’sscholarships and grants cango toward paying for tuitionand housing costs.

You must have a C average to qualify.

“There is always a friendly staff member to help youwith your homework or answer any questions you mighthave,” said WCC studentIan Jenss who has been withHINET for two semesters.“You can find hot water forcoffee/tea and snacks. If youhaven’t found your way toHINET yet, now is the timeto get yourself set up for nextsemester.”

I interviewed HINET student support specialist KathyHelfrich to find out moreabout the program.

What is the most important thing that HINET doesfor students?

dent can only be eligible forSNAP (food stamps) if theyare working consistently for20 hours per week (80 hoursper month) prior to applying.They can get an emergencyissuance of food stamps ifthey are not working, butonly for three months. Theywill not be eligible to applyagain for three years.

When students applythrough the HINET program,they can count the time they“work” on their school work,homework, attend classes, doprojects, study, etc. towardthat 20 hours per week. HI-NET makes it possible for students to get food assistanceas long as they are in school—and even beyond when theyare looking for work.

How long have you beenrunning HINET?

HINET started in the fallof 2014 but didn’t really getgoing until the fall of 2015.We started with only oneoffice at Windward Community College. Now wehave offices at Kapi’olaniCC, Leeward CC, Hawai’i CCand hope to add HonoluluCC and Maui College in thecoming fall.

Our goal is to providefood and other assistance tocommunity college studentsearning degrees in a work-

force field at every college inthe state.

What is the most rewarding part of the job for you?

Seeing students I havehelped get good grades andgraduate.

What are the biggestchallenges with HINET?

Getting the word out. Wewant anyone who wants to goto college but doesn’t thinkthey can afford it to comeand see us. We want anyonewho is going to college but isstruggling to feed themselvesand their family to come byfor a visit.

We can help with moneyfor books, supplies, gas andbus fare. We can work withstudents to identify theirgoals and get there.

Where do you see HI-NET going in the future?

We look to the state ofWashington as our inspiration. They have expanded to32 community colleges andtechnical schools. They havea state food stamp programin addition to the federal one,and they are putting peopleto work in good jobs. That iswhat I want for Hawai’i aswell.

QnApril 7, the annual Paliku

Arts Festival took place oncampus despite rainy weather.

“We have been worried that therain would stop people from coming, but that was not the case,” saidfestival co-director Ben Moffat. “Wehad an excellent crowd. The truth isthat on sunny days in festivals past,the crowds sometimes got too big andthere were long lines for activities andfood.”

During the all-day event, therewere many hands-on art activitiesaround campus. The tie dye stationwith WCC art professor and Gallery‘lolani coordinator Toni Martin, inwhich participants designed and madetheir own tie-dyed squares, was one ofthe most popular activities among kelki. At Hale Palanakila, there was alsoa drawing studio, face painting boothand screen printing display. Gallery‘lolani showcased an exhibit, E LukuWale E, of photographs by WCC artprofessor Mark Hamasaki and formerWCC art lecturer Kapulani Landgrafof the H-3 freeway under construction.

Many faculty and students volunteered their time at the festival. Student Manowai Morgan Kobashigawawas at the woodcarving station in Hale‘lolani, which was filled to capacitywith kids and parents working on different wood carving activities.

“We were teaching them how tofinish makau (fish hook necklaces),”said Kobashigawa, who has been partof the wood carving class at WCC forthe last two years. “We had makaublanks for them and taught them howto finish them and also had little soapcarving activities for the kids. We alsohad a tour set up of our woodcarvingprogram. Not too much people carveand so getting to see how to carve oldimplements like chisels or angle grinders. From the people that I talked to,it seems that they were really excitedabout it.”

Student Cynthia Lee Sinclair hasbeen a constant presence at the PaliküArts Festival, volunteering at the eventfor three years.

“I first started volunteering at thePaliku Arts Festival as a clown,” saidSinclair, who has been a professionalclown for 30 years. “When I first started helping out, the theatre departmentwas not even involved yet. Now, theevent has tripled in size.”

Former WCC drama and theatreprofessor Ben Moffat started the festival in 2011 during his last year ofteaching at the college. He said the goalis to demonstrate how fun learning canbe and that “enjoyment that can comefrom trying something outside of one’scomfort zone.”

All art supplies at the festival wereprovided for free, and there was noadmission fee.

“The event is to show the corn-

munity on this island the wealth ofopportunities at WCC in the fine,performing and literary arts,” addedMoffat. “In that sense, the festival is agreat marketing tool. So many timesI hear people say, ‘I never knew allthis was up here!’ The college is stilla well-kept secret for many on O’ahu.Also, Doug Dykstra has said that thePaliku Arts Festival is our gift to thecommunity.”

As for the future of the festival,Moffat hopes to see other WCC pro-

grams and classes incorporated in theevent.

“We would like the festival to continue to evolve naturally,” he said. “Afew years back we started to includeLanguage Arts. Next year, we hope toinvolve the Natural Sciences department. At the same time, we don’t wantthe festival to become a burden on thefaculty, students, staff and administration. Everyone already has plenty ofwork to do, so we want it to be an eventthat is manageable.”

Some of the activities at the PalikO Arts festival included a giant marching eel, face pointing, a bubble machine and selected photos taken by Mark Hamasaki and Kapulani Landgraf.

by Rick Oania-EIamSpecial to K ‘Ohana

Under the cover ofdarkness, two menarmed with shovels

quietly work in downtownHonolulu. The still of thenight is pierced occasionally by the gentle roar andwhoosh of a passing car andthe clinks and scratches ofa shovel meeting gravel.Although faced with legal and physical risk, thesemen simply cannot resistthe temptation to dig fortreasure.

“You’ll never believewhat was buried right under your feet,” Jon PatrickWhitaker says.

Whitaker and JosephPetaia are participants inO’ahu’s underground archaeology scene. They dohistorical research to finddig sites, and they keep tabson new construction aroundtown for the sole purposeof digging the foundationsin search of 100-year-oldpieces from a bygone era inHawai’i’s colorful history.

At one time, Hawai’i wasmore self-sufficient thanit is now. Before the age ofrapid shipping, the islandshad their own dairies, sodashops, distilleries, breweriesand drugstores.

Many companies packaged their goods in glassvessels bearing their namesand locations.

As glass was to consumers as plastic is today, thesebottles were thrown away asnothing more than garbage.But since glass can take amillion years to decompose,these bottles remain timecapsules.

Though bottle digginghas been going on elsewherefor decades, it only caught onin Hawai’i during the 1960s.

Some findings are moresignificant than others, explains Mike Kapili, formerpresident of the HonoluluHistoric Bottle Club. Hesays that a 1960s dig of theWaialua Soda Works dumprevealed thousands of dollars’ worth of rare 1800sbottles, along with a few thathad never been seen before.

Due to their small production numbers and exclusive distribution in theislands, Hawaiian bottlescan be very desirable, commanding top dollar in collectors’ markets.

Kapili says the most expensive Hawaiian bottle heever purchased was a raretorpedo-shaped soda bottlefor $7,500.

Whitaker and Petaia saythat every find, regardless ofits monetary value, is a pieceof Honolulu’s history with astory to tell.

Some Hawaiian bottles,for instance, have the lettersTH written on them, an abbreviation for the Territory ofHawai’i. Older bottles haveHT for Hawaiian Territory orHI for Hawaiian Islands. Theoldest bottles have the inscription SI on them forSandwich Isles, after the Earlof Sandwich.

At a dig in Kaka’akolast December, Whitakerand Petaia found a bottle invery rough condition withits neck broken off and theembossed letters spelling“Tahiti lemonade HonoluluTH.”

The site also producedshards of Chinese potteryand a few intact Chinesevessels such as bean pots,shoyu pourers, even a decorative blue and white glazedvase. With all the clues, itwas determined that the sitemust have been a Chinesesettlement from the mid1800s to the early 1900s.

“The forgotten historyand the nostalgia behindsome of these finds keepus digging. That and thethrill of the hunt of course,”Whitaker said. “It just makesmy imagination run wild.”

“It’s crazy to think oneof these bottles could havevery well belonged to one of

the pirates of the 1884 raidon Honolulu before havingits contents drank and beingcast aside as they made theirretreat,” Petaia added.

While some people mightthink it a shame that suchhistory should be revealedto and kept by persons whoare not professionals in thefield of archaeology, WCCprofessor, archaeologist andhistorian Floyd McCoy says,“It’s good that people aredoing this.”

He just hopes these individuals share their findings,saying that they would notneed to surrender the objects

but just share the information so that the communitycan learn from it. McCoy,however, points out thatvaluable information cansometimes be lost by removing an artifact. Where an object was found and what wasaround it can reveal a lot.

However, if Whitakerand Petaia and others in theunderground archeologyscene don’t dig up this history, many stories and relicswould remain under concrete foundations forever.

The two men add thatthere is an unwritten ruleamong construction work-

ers to ignore archaeologicalfindings for fear of a curse orthat their job site will be shutdown for an archaeologicalsurvey.

Both acknowledged thatso much history is left ignored never to be discoveredby professional archaeologists simply to save construction companies from breaching their deadlines.

So the next time you seea foundation being dug, useyour imagination and youmay just find yourself 10feet under Honolulu’s streetspulling out pieces of longforgotten Hawaiian history.

Mental Health vs. Mental Illness: Is it one in the same?May is Mental Health

Awareness Monthand has been recognized assuch since 1949 when MentalHealth America organized it.But how many of us actuallyknow what “mental health”is? And how is it differentfrom mental illness?

According to the American Psychological Association (APA), mental illnessis much like other medicalconditions such as diabetes,heart disease or high bloodpressure in that it is diagnosable. Mental illnesses are alsotreatable with proper careand treatment planning, justlike when you go to the doctor for a broken foot.

Mental illness affectsmany people at differentstages of life (though according to the APA, nearly75 percent of presentationsoccur around the age of 24).It affects all genders, all agesand all ethnicities. It, however, looks different for everyperson. Each individual wilLhave his or her own experience with common threads.

The key though is thatone’s functioning is seriouslydisrupted and there is a significant amount of distressor dysfunction in many, ifnot all, areas of one’s life.For some, it has only a mi

nor impact on functioning;for others, the mental illnessmay require hospitalizationfor a period of time or evenlong term.

One of the challenges forthose with mental illness is tonot be ashamed of it. Thereis nothing to be ashamedof when it comes to mentalillness, and with the rightsupports, individuals willthrive as their best versionsof themselves.

This is where everyonearound them comes in. If wecan learn that mental illnessis similar to other medicalconditions and then teachothers about it, we will beable to focus on destigmatizing it. In doing that, morepeople will be open to seekthe supports they want andneed.

When we talk about“mental health,” we are looking specifically at how wellsomeone is able to functionand cope with everydaystressors in a healthy, positive manner. For example,are they engaged in activitiesthey enjoy? Do they have adequate work-life balance? Dothey have social supports?

This is where the mind-body connection can play abig role. We know that if wehave balance in our lives,

we are able to stay healthierphysically, emotionally andsocially.

Our state of mentalhealth fluctuates throughoutour lifetimes and can dependon what challenges we arefaced with at that point intime. Sometimes we are ableto navigate through life in avery healthy, productive way.Other times it can prove to bea bit more difficult. However,by recognizing the declineand addressing it, people areable to make adjustments andget back to the state of functioning they desire.

What exactly are the benefits of maintaining one’soverall mental health? Having good mental health allows you to recognize yourfull potential. It helps youcope and adjust through various challenges and will helpyou to make connectionswith people and the community around you.

For resources on campus,come to the Mental Health& Wellness Office locatedin Hale Kako’o 101 or go tothe WCC website and search“mental health.” There youcan take a free and confidential screening if you haveconcerns about your overallwellbeing. You can also meetwith me for outside resources

or access the free individualcounseling through the office.

(a ‘Ohana 7What do you think government’s role should be in protecting the environment?

The government shouldplay an active role in protecting the environment.I think that they shouldenforce littering laws more.If they don’t feel like doingthat, then they should thinkof ways where we can makemost items biodegradable.This could be costly, but itwill help in the long run.When I think of things thatare most littered by people,it’s cigarettes, food wrappersand plastic bags.

If they were to start bymaking biodegradable options for those three things,then it would greatly decreased the amount of trashon the streets then eventually the amount in landfills.

I also believe that weshould stop cutting downtrees and eliminating forests to make more room fordevelopment. Trees give offoxygen and are also hometo many animals who shouldbe equally as protected aswe are.

Malina- Jasmine

I think the governmentshould fund research anddevelopment and new usesfor plastic. There was a storyI’ve seen on another countrychopping up plastic in a machine and added to concreteto build affordable houses.To me that’s genius.

Plastic doesn’t biodegrade therefore would be anefficient and a cost effectiveway to build a home. In doing so, less plastic wouldend up in the oceans killingmarine life and even more soin landfills.

lando- John Michael Bar-

I think the government’srole in protecting the environment should be like protecting the family. I believethat because we all havevoices and we all share it tobe heard yet nothing’s beendone. Government says lotsof things yet doesn’t keep it.That’s just ridiculous on theirend because it makes themlook pathetic that they’re notkeeping their word.

That’s what a government is for is to be our voiceand have our support butthe fact that they can’t do itis sad.

- Rhea Cascayan

The government shouldbe very involved in protecting the environment. There’sa lot of money involved whentalking about the environment.

Numbers are alwaysthrown out about tempera-

tures or the amount of icemelting, among others. Thenumbers that are importantare how many fish in theocean eat plastic. How manypeople living on the coastmay be affected by risingsea levels.

We have the informationbut companies with morepower than most governments dictate the environment’s outcome. The government should be able to holdcompanies to strict guidelines to ensure and protectour planet for the future. Wetreat the planet like a dumpand I’m afraid in my lifetimeif the government doesn’thelp what can the averagecitizen do? I hope the government’s role in protectingthe environment is based onscience not money.

The government shouldshow the utmost concernfor the enviornment. Thereshould be laws and regulations that prevent or hinderenviornmental damage. Thegovernment should be at theforefront of envioronmentalprotection because they arethe only one with enoughpower to stop corporationsand industries from abusingthe earth.

If there is a pool full offish, nothing is stoppingeveryone from snatching asmuch as they can, but lawsmade by the government canregulate fishing, so that thefish do not die out.

- Eldred Freitas

The government’s role inprotecting the environmentshould be their top priority.We are not doing enough forthe earth. We all as humanbeings are nothing morethan parasites to the earth.The government should takesteps as small as discontinuing products that cannot berecycled or harmful to theearth. Another step could bemaking it mandatory for every home or apartment complex to have solar panels touse solar power for electricity. There are so many rolesthat the government couldtake on towards protectingthe enviornment, but nothingis done because nothing is agood idea unless it profitsthe top 1 percent of weathyindividuals

-JustinPoaha

The government shouldbe the enforcer of laws thatprotect the environmenti.e. the water, land, forests,parks, state monuments, rivers, lakes and steams. Thegovernment should also be in

charge of who, what and howwe steward these resourcesand land management.

This also includes energy production and how weproduce it. The governmentshould be concerned with allfacets of air, land and sea topreserve what we have for thefuture, before we don’t haveit anymore.

The government needs toput up laws that enforce theusage of recycled productsand outlaw nonreusableproducts entirely.

If they set up laws restricting all companies toreusable resources and toreplace equal amount ofnatural resources that theyuse for their products.

The government shouldcare about the environmentgreatly and realize just howfast it’s deteriorating. Theyshould make the appropriatedecisions when it comes tolaws that involve protectingthe environment because itwill affect the future of thisplanet by a great amount.

The government shouldreally take action. Theyshould have group cleanups, maybe different typesof ways and methods thingsshould be done. Make lawswhere only certain tyes ofpaint can be used for theconcern of the air.

Graffiti. It’s everywhereand on everything.However, amid the

many players of this illegalgame exists a rare bird.

Beak, as he is known,does a wide variety of artboth on and off the street.What he is most known forthough is his bird-themedart. Bird characters and themany variations of them canbe seen everywhere, on allsorts of surfaces, utilizing every medium.

Bird posters pasted onelectrical boxes, bird facesdrawn on walls and mailboxes, even bird foot tracksstenciled permanently onto the pavement. Some birdsblend in to their surroundings while others blatantlystick out like sore thumbscommanding your eyes to notice them.

“They’re almost like realbirds. Some get put up andstay for a long time, whilesome are gone in a few days,”said Reid Villoria, an automechanic in Kaka’ako whohas seen dozens of Beak’sbirds over the years.

“The versatility andsymbolism behind a lot ofBeak’s work makes it appealing to a broad range of individuals, and the skill behind some of his creationsis undeniable,” said Emily Takahashi, a Universityof Hawai’i art major. “I canappreciate the time he musthave spent making some ofthese paintings. His atten

tion to detail doesn’t go unnoticed.”

Graffiti can be brokeninto two categories. There isillegal graffiti done withoutpermission from the property owner, and there is legalgraffiti done with permission of the property owner.

Within these two categories is another categoryknown as street art. Streetart comes in a wide rangeof forms and mediums compared to traditional graffiti,which is usually based moreon lettering.

Beak has built his reputation mainly around street artand said that he might haveeventually gotten bored ofthe repetitive nature of traditional graffiti. Aside from hispaintings and drawings, hefabricates wire sculptures,panelboards, cardboard cut

outs and even inflatableversions of his birds, bringing a whole different aspectto public art not commonlyseen in Hawai’i.

“1 always liked to put upart in strange places,” Beaksaid. “1 like art in galleriesand on canvases, but there’sjust so much more to it whenit was on a public surface foreveryone to see and interactwith.”

To Beak, the birds represent flying and freedom.He points out that he has asense of humor and some ofhis more whimsical birds arehighly reflective of this.

The letters behind Beak’stag or signature also havehidden meaning. Most of thetime, he substitutes the letterF in his name with the number 3, representing the year2003 when he started doing

street art and referencing thesignificance of the numberin sacred geometry. He alsowrites his name as Beaks onoccasion, replacing the letterS with a 5. The equation 3+5is hidden in his signature, thesum being 8, which is representative of infinity and flow.

Beak said it’s the excitement of street art that haskept him interested in thecraft for almost 15 years,though the associated dangercan negatively interfere withfamily life and relationships.

He was arrested doingstreet art a few years ago.Though he said one of the police officers at the time complimented him for his work.

“Some people don’t carewhat you paint on their wall.They didn’t want it painted inthe first place, and now theyhave to fork the bill to clean

it up,” said one Honolulu Police officer, who wished to remain anonymous.

Others, however, appreciate Beak’s public defiance.

“I love seeing Beak’s birdspop up! It keeps my day interesting and gives the city character,” Reid said.

“Over the last ten years,Beak has painted with almostevery Hawai’i-based notorious graffiti writer,” added Keir McEwan, a longtimegraffiti writer and tattoo artist at Queen St. Tattoo.

For his part, Beak plans tocontinuing producing streetart.

“I am going to die tryingto make something out of myart,” he said. “I’ve seen andfelt so many positive vibesbecause of my artwork thatthere’s no way I could ever stop.”

on O’ahu’s other roadways,but members of the community continued to express heartache, grief and anger over theimpact of the H-3 freeway onthe ‘ama. Human and animalbones, along with approximately 61,000 artifacts andsamples, were collected inHalawa Valley during the freeway’s construction, the bulk ofthe artifacts being small basalt stone flakes and cuttingsfrom stone tools used by ancient Hawaiians. The projectended up being one of the mostexpensive in U.S. history, costing approximately $80 millionper mile.

O’ahu local Mahealani Cypher was a key figure in fighting construction when shelearned about the adverse impacts the freeway would haveon the lands of Koolaupoko(Windward Oahu).

“We felt called, compelledby our ancestors, to do what

we could to respect and honor these special places, theheiau (temple sites) and iwikupuna (ancient Hawaiianburial grounds),” Cypher said.

When first viewing thephotos in E Luku Wale E,Cypher said it reopened thewounds of the battle to stopH-3.

“There were many tearsshed and even lives lost duringthat struggle, so I cannot honor this display as anything buta demonstration of the dominance of western influenceover the Hawaiian people.”

Cypher feels that the P Luku Wale P exhibit representsthe destruction of great beauty,as well as the dishonor to herancestral heritage and the many burials that were disturbed.

“The loss to our heritagehas, perhaps, been the leastvisible,” she said. “It is believed that the ancestors continue to cry out their dismay

from page 1at the destruction reflected inthis impressive and disturbing display of pictures, imagesof colonization of our island’sfirst people and their lands.Countless heiau and wahi pana (famous places) were disturbed in the building of H-3.The state and federal government allowed the bulldozersto follow in the shadow of thearchaeological teams right attheir backs, bulldozing sitesas soon as the researchers haddone any data-gathering inthe area.”

UH Manoa architecturestudent Patrick Hascall attended the exhibit opening andmarveled at the technical workof Hamasaki and Landgraf.

“Knowing the type ofequipment they used andthe terrain they conquered,I can’t imagine how difficultthis project was to put together,” Hascall said. “Their images show just how destructive

being ‘constructive’ can be. Ithink that everyone should seethese pictures so that they understand just what went intobuilding the H-3 and what sacrifices had to be made.”

Hascall also had a specialconnection to the exhibit, as hereceived his associate’s degreeat WCC and had Hamasaki asa teacher.

“1 took his class five timessolely because I loved photography and thought Mark wasan exceptional teacher,” hesaid. “My father is a retiredphotographer, of which I inherited all of his archaic equipment, which I’ve always wanted to learn how to use. WithMark’s expertise and his help,I developed a love for photography that I will take with meto my grave.”

Though the exhibit depictsheavy devastation caused bythe freeway construction, thephotos also praise what re

mains: the mountains, oneof the ‘ama’s most enduringbodies.

With his work, Hamasaki hopes that future generations will be able to see theenvironmental cost the development has had on the islandand will prevent similar actsin the future.

“This timeline shows youhow long it took to build thefreeway; the takeaway wouldbe to follow the rules, follow the proper procedures,”Hamasaki said. “Learn aboutthe place names, the history ofthe place. We all have a responsibility to take care of the land,the place we live, the place wecall home.”

The exhibit runs until May6 at Gallery ‘lolani, locatedadjacent to Palikt Theatre,and is open 1-5 p.m. Mondaysthrough Fridays and Sundays,as well as 6-8 p.m. on Mondaysand Tuesdays.

Beak’s street art, such as the bird image on the right, can be found on walls throughout O’ahu.
