The December 2007 BYU-Hawaii Alumni eNewsletter contains the following:

Elder Ballard |
Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles told the Fall Semester 2007 BYU-Hawaii graduating class of 200-plus seniors — more than half of whom came from 30 different countries — that as they "leave this wonderful institution and enter your various occupations, you have a great opportunity to be a powerful force for good in the Church and in the world. You've been taught well, in not only secular knowledge, but also in spiritual knowledge. If you live the principles of the gospel and not just study them, that special combination of knowledge will allow you to feel comfortable and prepared to teach what you know to be true — in any setting."
Elder Ballard, who was called to the Twelve in 1985, stressed that the "power of words" will help the graduates create conversations and understanding in the future. "Regardless of your vocation, you will need to know how to express yourself to demonstrate that your services are important to your clients or customers. So it is with the Church. From its beginnings, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has used the power of the printed word to spread the message of the Restored gospel throughout the world."
Noting that "new media," including the Internet, is "facilitating a worldwide conversation on almost every subject including religion, and nearly everyone can participate," Elder Ballard warned that "some of these tools — like any tool in an unpracticed of undisciplined hand — can be dangerous. The Internet can be used to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and can just as easily be used to market the filth and sleaze of pornography."
"Social networks on the Web can be used to expand healthy friendships as easily as they can be used by predators trying to trap the unwary," he continued. "Satan is always quick to exploit the negative power of new inventions, to spoil and degrade and to neutralize any effort for good. Make sure that the choices you make in the use of new media are choices that expand your mind, increase your opportunities and feed your soul."
Elder Ballard explained that new media also has an immediacy for messages to appear on web sites and blogs, and be distributed all over the world. "You can see how important the right words are today. Any search by Google or Yahoo is going to find one's words, probably for a very long time," he said. "What we say is no longer on and off the screen in a flash, but remains as part of a permanent archive and can appear on other sites that re-use the content."
Indeed, the Church uses this same characteristic of new media, Elder Ballard continued, citing the example of an interview with Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve and Elder Lance B. Wickman of the First Quorum of the Seventy "regarding the Church's position on same-gender attraction. In the old days to communicate our message to the public on an issue like this, we would have had to rely on the news media. But, this probing interview was conducted by Church Public Affairs staff," who posted it in its entirety on the Internet.

"There is perhaps no other time in its history when the Church has received more attention from the news media and on the Internet than right now," Elder Ballard continued, noting that U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney has garnered considerable attention because he is a Latter-day Saint. "The Church, of course, is politically neutral. We do not get involved in politics. Still, because of this attention Public Affairs is making a concerted effort to define the message of the Restoration rather than letting others define our beliefs."
"We cannot stand on the sidelines while others, including our critics, attempt to define what the Church teaches," he said. "Now, to you who are graduating today, along with the other students at this wonderful university, may I ask that you join the conversation by participating on the Internet, particularly the new media, to share the gospel and to explain in simple and clear terms the message of the Restoration."
"We are living in a world saturated with all kinds of voices. Perhaps now, more than ever, we have a major responsibility as Latter-day Saints to define ourselves, instead of letting others define us. Far too many people have a poor understanding of the Church because most of the information they hear about us is from news media reports that are often driven by controversies. Too much attention to controversy has a negative impact on peoples’ perceptions of what The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints really is."
"The Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ has no doubt had a powerful impact on your life. It has, in part, shaped who you are and what your future will be. Do not be afraid to share with others your story, your experiences as a follower of the Lord, Jesus Christ. We all have interesting stories that have influenced our identity," Elder Ballard continued.
"As you participate in this conversation and utilize the tools of new media, remember who you are — Latter-day Saints. Remember as the Proverb states that a soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger" (Proverbs 15:1).
"And remember that 'contention is of the devil.' There is no need to argue or contend with others regarding our beliefs. There is no need to become defensive or belligerent. Our position is solid; the Church is true. We simply need to have a conversation, as friends in the same room would have, always guided by the prompting of the Spirit and constantly remembering the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ which reminds us of how precious are the children of our Father in Heaven."
'Excellence and Character'
Earlier in the commencement program, BYU-Hawaii President Steven C. Wheelwright emphasized two principles that would help the graduates "realize the great promises a loving Father in Heaven has in store for you":

"The first principle is that of excellence. Excellence is about doing your best all the time. About setting a standard that is higher than that often found in the world around you. And achieving excellence depends much more on consistency, focus and hard work, than it does on being brilliant. It involves discipline and commitment," he said.
He also quoted President Gordon B. Hinckley, who has said: You don’t have to be a genius. You don’t have to be a straight-A student. You just have to do your very best with all the capability you have. If you do that, God will open the way before you and the sun will shine, and your lives will be fruitful and you will accomplish great good in the world in which you take a part. Rise to the high ground of spiritual, mental, and physical excellence. Don’t muff your opportunities.
"Each day, make a commitment to put forward your best effort," President Wheelwright continued. "Do not settle for anything less. As you do that, day after day, you will find your ability increasing and gradually those around you will take notice. New opportunities will open to you because people and organizations need and desire excellence, as does the Lord in building His kingdom."
"The second principle I would like you to remember and take with you is that of character. Character is the array of personal attributes that define your capacity to act according to what is true and right in all circumstances."
"Building character is like building a house. If your house of character is to be strong, you must build it on the foundation of faith in Jesus Christ and obedience to His commandments," he said. "The critical actions in building a house come long before the storms and the flood. So it is with character; it is built in the decisions and actions of everyday life. Character comes out of a consistency between what we say we believe, and what we do. That is what it means to act with integrity. A strong and noble character is built through a life of integrity."
"Perhaps the best practical suggestion I can share related to character is that often repeated by President [Ezra Taft] Benson: Thoughts lead to acts, acts lead to habits, habits lead to character, and character determines our eternal destiny."

"We need to daily assess our thoughts and acts, strengthening those that are developing the aspects of character the Lord would desire, and eliminating and replacing those that would detract from our becoming like Him," the president said. " Just as the Lord desires and needs a unique and special University, the Lord’s University needs graduates of excellence and character that can represent the Savior, His gospel, and His Kingdom in a manner consistent with His purposes and blessings.
Elder W. Rolfe Kerr, Commissioner of the Church Educational System and an emeritus member of the First Quorum of the Seventy, also spoke on the program, reminding the graduates that they had enjoyed the "spiritual security and the emotional comfort" of BYU-Hawaii.
"Now you're going into the world. The Savior knew of the challenges of being in the world when He prayed, I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from evil."
"I believe what the Lord was suggesting then and would suggest to you here today is that we cannot isolate ourselves from the world, but surely we can insulate ourselves against the evils of the world," he continued, pointing out that Alma instructed his son [Alma 37:32-33], "teach the people an everlasting hatred for sin and iniquity... Teach them to withstand every temptation of the devil on the Lord Jesus Christ."
"The Lord expects you to be lights unto the world," Elder Kerr said. "The power of example is so crucial, and there is that high expectation that you will be the very best examples as you go into the world... Do everything you can to build His kingdom where you are."
As of this graduation, BYU-Hawaii will no longer declare valedictorians; but Ty Dennis, an Exercise and Sports Science graduate, spoke as a representative on behalf of his classmates. "I have enjoyed a great deal of academic success during my time here," he said. "I want you to know however, that I did not, by any means do it alone. I have a loving supportive wife here today who suffered through my schooling as much or more than I did. Even so, her patience and support were unwavering, her attitude was always helpful and encouraging and she was always there when I needed a shoulder no matter what time of day or night."
"Brothers and sisters, at this point the BYU Hawaii is finished. The rest is up to us. I have never in my life beheld a group of people more capable or better prepared to accomplish the mission of this school. We have the tools, we have the skills, we have the knowledge and most importantly, we have a testimony of Jesus Christ," he continued. "The task is before us."
BYUH, PCC developing standards to better integrate work with education
A BYU-Hawaii/Polynesian Cultural Center task force is developing a new set of standards that will better integrate the campus/PCC work experience in the students' overall education. The initiative, which is being described as an "extension of the classroom into the job," will focus freshmen and sophomores in service areas, while junior and senior students will migrate "into jobs that would have application in their careers." Read an overall view of the new program...
President Wheelwright continues his Q&A sessions with BYUH ohana:
Moving the time to 7 a.m. so students, faculty and staff not available at other times could participate, BYU-Hawaii President Steven C. Wheelwright focused on the Honor Code, the online use of social networks on campus and international students returning home during his November 27 question-and-answer forum. Read more...

BYU-Hawaii lighting brightens the holidays:
The annual BYU-Hawaii community Christmas lighting program on November 28 initiated a full schedule of Holiday Season activities in Laie. In addition to seasonal concerts by various BYUH musical groups, the Polynesian Cultural Center offered free performances every afternoon through December 29, and the Laie Hawaii Temple Visitors Center offered a similar variety of appearances. In short, there's lots of Christmas spirit in Laie this year.
Men's basketball team climbs in early rankings:
In the latest available National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division II pool, the BYU-Hawaii men's basketball team has risen to the number-11 ranking. An earlier NABC poll ranked the Seasiders, who are 3-0 so far, at number-16; but on December 21, 2004, the team reached an all-time high number-9 ranking. For more on BYU-Hawaii athletics...

Elder Sybrowsky, a '63 Seasider |
Alumni Association honors winter '07 grads at traditional banquet
Elder Paul K. Sybrowsky — a member of the Second Quorum of the Seventy, Australia Area President and a 1963 Church College of Hawaii student — told the graduate candidates at the Alumni Association's annual winter semester graduation banquet in the Cannon Activities Center on December 13 that CCH became the "home" where he learned the gospel.
"I came to this university from a less active family. I came as a boy who had a simple testimony that God lived, Jesus is the Christ and the Church is true, but had not grown up with those teachings and things at home," he said. "This institution became that home. This is where I learned those teachings."

Herb Yuen ('81) |
President Wheelwright responded to Elder Sybrowsky's remarks by telling the upcoming graduates how they make things happen is "even more important than what you make happen." To do so, he suggested they develop a reputation for honesty and integrity, develop the characteristics of great leaders, pursue career opportunities with attributes that make them better people, and "continue strengthening the relationships you formed here."
Earlier in the program, Herbert Yuen ('81, Travel and Hotel Management) cited President Spencer W. Kimball's admonition to fashion a better future by drawing upon the inspiration of the past and the lessons of history, both as a people and as individuals. "I truly believe that," he said. "This is where we all started, where we in our learning become disciples of our Heavenly Father, to serve the Lord in whatever capacity He has for us."
Herb, who is originally from Pearl City, Oahu, and his wife, Marilyn Anzai Yuen ('76, Social Work), have been living on Maui where she's from, since he graduated from BYUH. After working in the hotel and convention business for 16 years, Herb and two partners formed their own statewide firm specializing in theme decor, fireworks/laser displays and entertainment needs. He is currently a counselor in a stake presidency.
Also as part of the program, various seniors performed, including Jeanette Manzano ('07, TESOL) who also spoke on their behalf. Manzano, who is returning to the Philippines right after getting married, said she was grateful for the opportunity to study at BYU-Hawaii, make international friends, and find an "eternal companion" here.

...standing room only in Seoul, Korea |
In Seoul, for example, the BYU-Hawaii contingent met with alumnus Elder Yoon-Hwan Choi ('88, Business Information Management), Area Authority Seventy and Second Counselor in the Asia North Area Presidency, and later that evening held a special standing-room-only fireside attended by over 300 people.
In the December 15 commencement program, President Meha said of the alumni they met during the visit, "Their gratitude and love for what they experienced in Laie when they were students remains strong and vibrant. They were eager for news about the university and asked about the faculty and campus bishops. They shared special and sacred experiences with us, and they were eager to assist you [the graduates] make the transition from university life to your chosen career."

Waka ('90) |
Earlier in the Fall Semester, President Wheelwright made a similar visit to Church leaders and alumni in Tonga, Fiji and New Zealand. He next plans to visit Samoa and Tahiti.
Auckland, New Zealand:
We met with Auckland chapter chair Warren Waka ('90, Human Resources) recently, who reported our New Zealand alumni there are well organized and "get together quite often. We have a full alumni board, two vice-chairs and myself, and then we have other appointments: somebody to look after internships; and in recruiting, one of our vice-chairs, Glenn Kaka ('92, Information Systems) is in a major corporation and he has IT contacts throughout New Zealand. He picks up all the IT grads coming in from BYU-Hawaii," he said.
Waka, who was BYU-Hawaii student body president from 1986-87, added they also keep track of current Kiwis on campus: "We have three coming off the December graduation, and we're looking forward to having them back. We know where they're going to go and be placed. This program is absolutely brilliant."
Colorado:
Congratulations to new Colorado chapter chair Janae Judd Daniels ('98, Theater) and her husband, Jason Daniels. U.S. South Regional Alumni Director David Settle ('76, Accounting) quoted Janae in his excellent newsletter for December as saying: "My experience at BYU-Hawaii was incredible and will forever hold a very precious place in my heart. I always consider it the place where I 'found myself,' for lack of a better term. The friends, experiences and the magic of that place have forever shaped my life."
Samoa:
Alumni Association Executive Director Rowena Reid ('76, Social Work) recently accompanied Kim Austin, Director of BYU-Hawaii Career Services, on her first trip to Samoa. While there, Reid installed Fa'afetai Tauiliili ('91, Information Systems) and his wife, Kristin Zitting Tauiliili ('94) as the new chapter chairs. They succeed Daniel Meredith ('82, Travel Management) and his wife, Gwen Ho Ching Meredith ('83, Business Management).
In American Samoa, Reid and Austin visited with chapter chairs Miki Semo ('86) and his wife, Mitzi Tuinei Semo ('91), as well as with Brent Schwenke ('82, Accounting and Business Management) and his wife, Tagi Faumuina Schwenke ('80), and Melila Purcell ('78, Physical Education).
San Diego, California:
New Chapter Chairs Kelly Probst ('00, International Business Management) and his wife, Kristy Probst, a Provo graduate, have been reorganizing the San Diego Chapter, and report they are "looking forward to making 2008 an exciting year for the CCH/BYUH alumni in Southern California. They tentatively plan a "get-to-know-you" social in March or April, a summer luau in July or August, and a pre-holiday bash in December. So far they've also enlisted the following alumni who are willing to help: Shawni Henderson ('95, Elementary Education); Bradley ('02) and Jeanette Mann Hixson ('05, Theater); Kevin and Monica Kadadelas; Jim ('98, Biological Science) and Dyana Geddie ('98, Elementary Education); Douglas W. ('80) and Tiffany Andrews; Robin Hagen ('78), Barbara Howe ('88), Samuel Kressin ('03, EXS), Jennifer Woolstenhulme Lopez ('97, Special Education), Joshua Boyce ('01, Business Management), Linda Rasmussen ('68), Pamela Schuppenhauer ('02, Art) and Scott Warner ('05, Computer Science).
Utah Central :
Congratulations also go to Christoph Malzl ('96, Psychology) and Laura "Laly" Sepulveda Malzl ('95, Travel Management), co-chairs of the new Central Utah Chapter, which includes our many alumni in Provo and the surrounding areas. David Settle's newsletter notes that the Malzls met at BYU-Hawaii, got married in the Santiago, Chile Temple, and now have four children. Christoph, who's originally from Austria, is quoted as saying: "My experience at BYU-Hawaii has always felt like a 'second mission.' It
had a tremendous impact on my wife's and my life. The Aloha spirit has touched
me deeply and I am so grateful for all the individuals there, who permeated that
spirit. There is truly no place like BYU-Hawaii and we are so excited to be
involved with all the wonderful alumni who share those same feelings." Christoph has also earned an MBA and Master Jeweler degree.
Laly, who was born and raised in Chile, added, "From the first day at BYU-Hawaii, I felt deeply touched by the beauty of the nature around campus, the beautiful people of the Islands and the strong Spirit I felt through my experiences in classes, faculty and peers from all over the world. I truly felt that we were not 'foreigners anymore,' yet we were all looking in the same direction."
1950s & 60s
John Aki Jr. ('59) writes that he and his wife, Lydia, recently received their mission call to serve in the "Asia Area...[with a] primary assignment to labor in China with the Public Affairs Department. Our reporting date to the MTC is March 24, 2008. This will be my third mission to Hong Kong, China, and Lydia's second. She was born in Hong Kong and still has family living there." John adds that he has many "happy memories of the special times at CCH. I appreciate Sister Ruth Smith Silvers, my freshman English teacher. She not only taught me English, which will be put to the test in my public affairs assignment in China; but she referred me to the missionaries as well, which is how I joined the Church. I learned a lot from my professors in the classroom, but I also learned a lot from my friends outside the classroom. My CCH professors appealed to my mind and intellect, but the friends that I made at CCH appealed to my heart and spirit."
Georgia Hamblin Evans ('60) writes, "My years in Hawaii were defining moments and have had a profound impact throughout my life. My husband and I currently serve in the Monticello Temple. My husband is a sealer and the stake patriarch in the Moab Utah Stake. We are the proud parents of five children and seven grandchildren. We took a recent cruise to Alaska: I have now seen two of the most beautiful places in the USA, and live in the third. Red rock canyons and the Colorado River grace the landscapes of the community where we have lived for over 38 years."
"Dear BYU-Hawaii, thank you for keeping me informed about the university's activities. Aloha," writes Frank Ludwig Harrer ('68)
1970s
Hank Nawahine III ('75, Physical Education), who is originally from Laie, recently sent the following email: "I just wanted to express my aloha for the BYU-Hawaii Alumni Newsletter for your updates concerning all those that touched our lives in the past, presence and into the future. It's just wonderful, informational and interesting to read about everyone. I surely miss BYUH so much and especially for what I did on campus...working in the International Student Service. I miss everyone, especially my Laie. I am now retired and living in Fruitland, Idaho, to be closer to my children and their families. It's such a blessing to be with them: They sure needed us for the longest time. It was hard living at home in Hawaii and all of my five sons and their families live in Idaho, Utah and California. I'm enjoying my retirement and my wife [Norma Chang Nawahine, '01, IDS] and I were never so busy with our time before now.....whew!"
"Thank you very much for this wonderful newsletter," writes Akihito Inouye ('77). "I am so grateful for the great experience and education I received at BYU-Hawaii. Since I graduated I have lived and worked in Japan, Saudi Arabia, the USA and Canada. I always think of BYUH. It was the best time in my life. I strongly recommended that my daughter attend BYUH, and she graduated from here as well. We love the school. Aloooha."
1980s
"I just wanted to say thanks to all who prepare the Alumni eNewsletter. It is always interesting, informative and appreciated," writes former BYU-Hawaii President J. Eliot Cameron.
1990s
Perry Po Kee Ho ('92, Accounting) writes that he and his family "moved to Shenzhen, China, a little over a year ago to home-school our children. It's not legal to do so in Hong Kong. It's been a challenging and learning experience for us. We have a great international LDS Branch in Shenzhen with strong and faithful families. We are very grateful for the Lord's blessing and have experienced much joy in learning together with our children in the gospel."
Loanna Taurima Smiler ('96, Information Systems) and her husband, Philip Smiler ('96, Accounting), are back home in New Zealand, living in Temple View where she is an assistant librarian at the Church College of New Zealand. She writes that they met at BYU-Hawaii and married in the Laie Hawaii Temple. "Three years and two babies later we graduated together. It was absolutely a wonderful and growing experience: No regrets and we recommend it to all YSA."
Brandon Hunter ('97) writes, "I left Laie in '97 and finished my BS in Management Information Systems at BYU in Provo. I am married to Megan Doxey ('97) and have four children. We currently live in Santa Clarita, California., where I serve as YM president. I have been working for GE Money as database administrator team lead for the past three years. I also started a web site, www.myplace2sell.com, which served as a classifieds site with the ability to include videos of your products or services for sale. Megan's dad built a duplex on Laie Point which has allowed us to come back to visit each of the last three years and catch up with some old friends. We have many fond memories of BYU-Hawaii, and still keep in touch with many friends made there."

Chad Schumacher ('04, Music), who is originally from Kauai, now lives in Utah and teaches at The Music School in American Fork. "I'm working as the department chair of the piano program, which has about 175 students with a total of nine teachers. I have about 60 students right now. I'm teaching a variety of things...of course, they're all learning piano as well as jazz, improvisation, New Age, composition and other things. I'm giving a wider view of music rather than focusing so much on classical. I am loving it and...life goes on."
Jeremiah Lim ('06, International Business Management) will start a new job with Robert Half International, the "world's first and largest specialized specialized staffing firm," in Singapore in January.
• Kingsley Luke ('58) of Honolulu, who retired as a science teacher at Waipahu Intermediate School, passed away on November 14.
• Patricia Ann Murray Darneal, an Ala Moana Center customer service representative, died December 8 on Maui.
• Margaret LaRae King Clarke, wife of the late CCH English professor LeRoy King and a speech and drama faculty member from 1966-70, recently passed away in Rexburg, Idaho. After her first husband died in Hawaii in 1970, she and their four children moved to Rexburg where she taught at Rick's College [now BYU-Idaho] and married the university's president, John Clarke. He was soon called as president of the Massachusetts Boston Mission, and after returning to Rick's, she eventually became the Dean of Women. Sister Clarke was honored as Outstanding Administrator of the Year in 1986. Before coming to CCH in '66, Sister Clarke was named the Outstanding Junior College Teacher for the State of California.
Editor's Note: Merry Christmas, everybody. It seems hard to believe that another year is almost pau. I'm still very grateful for the opportunity to string these words together for you, along with the other writing I do for BYU-Hawaii, the Polynesian Cultural Center and surrounding communities. When I was a CCH student in the late 60s, I had no idea that I would essentially end up as a writer (though I'm very interested in all digital media); but I vividly remember how Dr. Gordon Thomas' creative writing class resonated with my spirit. I know many of you had similar experiences in your own areas of interest. It's been an honor to record and share some of our recent history here, and as the year draws to a close, it's also my pleasure to wish all of you a very Happy New Year and ALOHA NUI,
— Mike Foley ('70, TESL), Editor
