KALEOT H E V O I C E Initiative seeks to expand languages in Hawai‘i

NOELLE FUJII

News Editor

Starting this month, the Hawai‘i Language Roadmap Initiative will be implemented to promote a multi-lingual workforce in the state. “What we found is that there is actually so much language in this state that is just not valued. It’s just not recognized as resources,” Dina Yoshimi, program manager for the initiative said in a phone in-terview. “And so what we wrote in the Roadmap basically is that we just need to value the resources that we have and value the oppor-tunities to build them.” The initiative is federally fund-ed and is in partnership with the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa and the Language Flagship, which is under the National Security Education Program in the United States’ Department of Defense. “We need to accept the fact that it’s time to be able to talk to the rest of the world as skilled workers,” Yoshimi said.

THE INIT IAT IVE The Hawai‘i Language Road-map is a planning and policy docu-ment that contains initiatives that

“identify what needs to be done to move the state towards multi-lingualism, so that the state will be able to see the benefi ts of be-ing multi-lingual, especially in the

workforce,” according to Yoshimi, who is also an associate professor in the department of East Asian languages & literatures. “Our goal is a highly edu-cated, multi-lingual population that ’s globally competitive,” Rob-ert Bley-Vroman, dean for the College of Languages, Linguis-tics and Literature said.

IMPLEMENTATION The initiative will be imple-mented across the state over multiple phases. According to the Roadmap, raising public awareness about the initiative is one of its first tasks. This will include a pub-lic service announcement cam-paign, a poster series promoting multilingualism and Multilin-gual Career Day activities engag-ing the employers of the state. “The goal of the Roadmap of the policy and planning document is to look currently, short, medium and long term. And long term is 15 to 20 years now,” Yoshimi said. “So that’s long enough for you to be able to think the trajectory of economic and educational needs.” There will be one overarching council that will help coordinate the activity on the implementation. According to the Roadmap, the council’s task would be to

“continue the collaboration to im-plement the proposed initiatives,

identify funding sources, solidify political and community support and move our agenda forward.”

HOW IT ALL STARTED In 2002, the NSEP started an initiative to create opportunities across the country for higher pro-fi ciency in key strategic languages. According to Yoshimi, it moved to include a whole statewide initiative for the broader population in 2007. According to Bley-Vroman, the idea was that language capac-ity is central to national security. “I mean national security, broadly understood in the sense that we need strong economies, a healthy society, as well as lan-guage capacity for specifi c de-fense needs,” Bley-Vroman said. “And the feel is, within the Nation-al Security Education Program, the NSEP, is that the United States is disadvantaged internationally.

… (We are at a) disadvantage inter-nationally because we don’t have the capacity of highly profi cient speakers in crucial languages that we ought to have.”

THE LAUNCH AND THE STUDENT AMBASSADORS On Sept. 16, a launch was held for the initiative at the Halau O Haumea, Kamakakūokalani Cen-ter for Hawaiian Studies. “One thing that’s really fan-tastic about the roadmap launch is that we had over 100 people and it was all by invitation,” Yo-shimi said. “But the 100 people included signifi cant representa-tion from business, from state agencies, from community orga-nizations, as well as educational institutions. … Here in Hawai‘i we’ve found that people are very receptive to this.” Nine student ambassadors were present at the launch as the face of the future, according to Yoshimi. “A student ambassador in the case of the launch is the face of

the future workforce of Hawai‘i,”Yoshimi said. “These are students who have already made the in-vestment in developing their lan-guage skills to a job-ready place so that when they go out they can use that language in their job.” Mathew Tanaka, a gradu-ate student studying Hawaiian,was one of the student ambas-sadors at the event. “Basically the student ambas-sadors, for that particular event on the launch, were to be like someone that important people who were there could actually speak to, to talk about how lan-guage applies to the different industries that we’re in, respec-tively,” Tanaka said. He believes it was important for those who attended to be able to talk to different students. “It was an opportunity for them to see what examples of what the product of the initiative would be like,” Tanaka said. “So that maybe it would inspire some of them and show how important this language was too.” Melissa Cotrone, a graduate from UH Mānoa with an M.A. in French literature and language,said her involvement in the initia-tive as a student ambassador was to present to the business com-munity the face of the next gen-eration of interpreters and people who use a second language in business. She believed it was cru-cial for students to be involved. “I think it was not only impor-tant but crucial to be involved as a student,” Cotrone said. “Students today need to realize that the de-mand in businesses for people with second and third language skills is growing faster than ever. As we move to an ever more increas-ing global economy, students who don’t become profi cient in a second language are going to fi nd them-selves in a problematic position in the job market.”

Research: According to the Hawai‘i Language Roadmap Initiative website, research was conducted prior to the Language Summit to gather data and insights from businesses and state and local government agencies about their cur-rent and future language needs. Dina Yoshimi, program manager for the ini-tiative, said the research was conducted through phone and face-to-face inter-views from late December 2012 until late February/early March 2013.

Summit: An all-day Language Summit was held on March 13, 2013, to bring together representatives from the business sector and state and local government agen-cies to delineate their demand for lan-guage skills in their workplace. During the summit, stakeholders (the demand side) spoke, and educators (the solu-tion side) listened, according to Yoshimi. “Importantly, the summit also created a strong sense among the participants that there are other like-minded lead-ers in the community who share my concerns,” Yoshimi said. “Any statewide initiative must have people who are net-working and share a sense that they are working towards a collaborative solu-tion to a shared problem.”

Working groups: From May to August 2013, working groups that were composed of repre-sentatives from business, state and local government, community organizations and education met and produced “idea sheets.” Each “idea sheet” contained one project, or legislative initiative, or policy change that addressed an area of perceived need, proposed a timeline for implementation and listed potential re-sources for enabling the project.

Roadmap: The Language Roadmap was produced in August 2013 and, according to Yoshi-mi, is about changing attitudes, increas-ing employment opportunities, raising employee compensation, pursuing so-cial justice, increasing the capacity of the state to connect with populations overseas be it for business, technologi-cal development or simply getting to know our global neighbors and more.Launch:

On Sept. 16, 2013, the Hawai‘i Language Roadmap was launched at an event at the Halau O Haumea, Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies.

JOSEPH HAN

Managing Editor

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s “Don Jon” is a worthy, bold and ambitious directorial debut that tackles con-temporary issues of our dependence on instant and numbing gratifi cation and what it means to be in love. “Don Jon” blends comedy with tragedy coursing through its heart, explor-ing how we compensate in toxic hab-its to cover feelings of emptiness and what it means to be free from the ad-dictions that bind us. Jon Martello (Gordon-Levitt) is a slick womanizer and narcissist who lives off his routines of bedding wom-en, mingling with family, cleaning his home, expressing road rage, going to church and, above all, watching por-nography. Jon roams the club with his buddies, rates women and hunts for action until he catches sight of a dime, Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson), who ends up pushing Jon to rethink his needs. But for Jon, porn is better than the real thing, and his fulfi llment only comes from the exhilarating process of fi nding videos and exposing him-

self to an infi nite source of immedi-ate and detached gratifi cation. The phenomenal editing in “Don Jon” splices various clips throughout the fi lm as Jon explains his obsessions of body parts, showing how the jum-bling need for pornography overruns and dominates his consciousness. This proves diffi cult when Barbara catches Jon, who winds up swearing that he’d rather be committed to a real woman than the stars that fi ll the sphere of his mind. In an interesting parallel, Barbara — Johansson com-mands screen presence with her sass and allure — also has her own vices and looks toward cheesy romance movies to dictate her ideas of love and what it means to be in a relationship. “Don Jon” ultimately explores the entrapment and the dilemma of constantly being retracted into rou-tines that defi ne and chip away at the forward trajectory of our lives. Jon thinks he can stop, but his laptop is magnetic. Gordon-Levitt captures every comic and dark nuance of Jon’s complex and simply drawn character, portraying his stubbornness and hid-den pain behind the muscle. Jon is stuck, doomed to a cycli-

cal existence unless he can fi nd growth potential beyond the gym and outside his realm of clips, shards of exaggerated intimacy and body parts that only threaten to leave his mind torn away from knowing what romance can really fulfi ll and his heart dismembered. Esther (Juli-anne Moore), an older woman who attends the same night class as Jon, winds up helping him to reconcile with his notion of liberation apart from how he handles his daily life. This becomes both unexpected and predictable and yet doesn’t detract from the tone that the fi lm sets. “Don Jon” is a sweet and funny fi lm. It presents how life can be crowded with hyper-stimulation that only blinds the sight of what’s personal, honest and pure. It’s about confronting our devices and striving to fi nd solace in being vul-nerable and open to change rather than being one-sided because that front can easily collapse.

Nothing can compare to a steamy, gigantic bowl of pho. Its alluring aroma and ability to f ill your stomach is what makes pho a comforting dish. It is a staple of Vietnamese cuisine, so when I heard about Hale Viet-nam, which translates to House of Vietnam, I expected to f ind high-quality pho. Tucked away in the neighbor-hood of Kaimukī, the restaurant has a private lot for validation. When I walked in, there was a group of waiters and waitresses standing around waiting on cus-tomers to make their way in. Their uniforms caught my eye as they were wearing festive aloha shirts. We were there at about 11 a.m., and the restaurant was empty.

First, I ordered the imperial roll ($9.95). The dish comes with a salty and vinegary sauce for dip-ping and includes thinly sliced veg-gies. The rolls came with noodles, romaine lettuce, julienned cucum-bers and carrots and a sprig of mint. The imperial roll was meaty and crunchy, which is a satisfying combination. Then I tried it with the fi xings: lettuce, Thai basil and mint. There was a nice contrast in texture with the fresh lettuce and the crunchiness of the roll. I did not care for the Thai basil as it overpowered the dish. I also ordered a regular, rare steak pho ($9.25). It was steamy and chunks of rare meat were fl oating to the surface. To my disappointment, it was average, but then again how can anyone mess up pho? I was sur-prised to fi nd a generous amount of meat, but it did not impress me.

By the time the check arrived, the lunch crowd started mak-ing its way in. My check came out to about $30 with tip. A little pricey for a party of one, but I did splurge with the appetizer, which could have easily fed two people. With its pleasant ambiance and smiling wait staff, Hale Viet-nam is a place to try at least once. Their generous portions will leave you feeling nice and full.

KAHALI’A FOX

Contributing Writer

The U.S. Census Bureau has estimated that we have already reached a world population of 7 billion people and will reach 8 billion by 2025. If the population continues to rise at an exponen-tial rate, all of the world’s social, economic, political and envi-ronmental problems, including Hawai‘i’s, will become unsolv-able. No amount of brainstorm-ing alternatives will have any meaningful effect unless we fi rst address the issue of long-term population reduction, stabiliza-tion and control. There are two realistic possibilities for achiev-ing this in Hawai‘i.

THE VISA SYSTEM Though Hawai‘i is a part of the United States, its geographic isolation puts it in a unique lo-gistical predicament. On O‘ahu, there is simply no room to expand laterally to compensate for popu-lation growth, but we could theo-retically expand vertically. Even so, there is not enough room for adequate transportation, sanita-tion, fresh water, electricity and economy to support such growth. Transient populations such as tourists, temporary workers, stu-dents, homeless, military person-nel and freelance entrepreneurs

further exacerbate the problem by putting a strain on our pre-cious and fi nite resources. One alternative to increase transient population effi ciency is to imple-ment the visa system, treating Hawai‘i as a foreign country even though it is one of the 50 states. Potential students, workers, etc. will need to come here, supply proof of the validity of their visit and comply with time limits im-posed. Like an international visa, when the time limit is reached, visa holders would have to reap-ply for an extension with proof that they have a valid reason to be here. If school is out or the temporary job is over, then it will be time for them to return to their permanent home. Also, if a trans-planted homeless person were ar-rested on a minor misdemeanor (non-violent crime) such as pos-session of a controlled substance, it would be less expensive to fl y him back to his home of record than to pay the annual $60,000 per inmate cost to keep him here. The details of this system are quite elaborate, and the terms and conditions warrant their own piece of legislature along with much more discussion. But, the overall goal is simple: hold peo-ple accountable for their physi-cal presence in Hawai‘i. If you weren’t born here or if you don’t have a legitimate reason to be

here when your visa is up, then you must go. Native Hawaiians, legal state residents and active duty military would, of course, be exempt from this policy.

THE TWO - CHILD POLICY As stated before, there is a fi xed amount of physical space and fresh water by which these islands can support a healthy population. In addition to the visa system, a two-child policy would further stabilize population levels for the future. It is simply irresponsible for families to have three or more children when living in such a fi nite ecosystem. Each human life, from birth to death, represents a measure of resources consumed over the course of that lifetime with re-spect to food, water, electricity, commodities, textiles and social benefi ts. We cannot treat Hawai‘i like the mainland, which has vast amounts of open space to expand and grow. We must mindfully manage our resources for the best long-term plan. Putting limits on the number of children families can have is a debated topic, but keep in mind where we are. This state is the most isolated landmass on the planet. We are severely limited, and regu-lating family size is an achievable and realistic strategy for maintain-ing a healthy and happy population for generations to come.

Should Hawai’i adopt a two- child policy?

More than one million

people reside in Hawai‘i, accord-

ing to the U.S. Census Bureau.

'Bows travel to California for Big West openers'Bows travel to California for Big West openersSYDNEY CHESTNUT

Senior Staff Writer

The University of Hawai‘i women’s soccer team hits the road this week to take on Cal State Ful-lerton and UC Riverside to open up Big West Conference play. Based on preseason perfor-mances, the ‘Bows are currently tied with UC Irvine for a fourth-place standing within the BWC. Cal State Fullerton poses a sig-nifi cant threat to the ‘Bows with a current 5-4 record after a chal-lenging preseason. Tiana Fujimo-

to is starting the season off well with a second place position in the Big West for goals scored at six, but still has only accumulated about half the total of Cal Poly’s Elise Krieghoff, who currently holds the number one spot with 11 total goals. The ‘Bows’ offense will have a tough time sneaking goals past Cal State Fullerton’s goalie Lindsey Maricic, who currently leads the conference with a .891 save per-centage. ‘Bows’ freshman goalie Monk Berger is close behind Mar-icic with a .774 average, currently

ranked fourth in the Big West. Berger’s shutout against Northern Arizona two weeks ago was her third of the season, which already matches UH’s total number of shut-outs for the 2012 season. While UC Riverside’s 3-7 overall record is less impressive, the team is coming from a com-petitive preseason in which two losses and a tie were the result of aggressive overtimes. UC Riverside goalie Elizabeth Silas could also give the ‘Bows of-fense some trouble because she is currently ranked fourth in the

Big West for saves at 37, only al-lowing 11 shots to get past her in nine games and credited with one shutout so far this season. This week’s away games will be the third road trip of the season for the ‘Bows. The fi rst venture across the Pacifi c proved to be successful, ending with two wins against Oregon and Oregon State. However, the ‘Bows hope this trip will redeem them after their second trip, from which they came home with one loss and one win against Arizona and NAU, respectively. The ‘Bows will face Cal State

Fullerton to open the road trip Friday at 4 p.m. HST before trav-eling to UC Riverside on Sunday for a 10 a.m. HST match.
