RESULTS OF THE 34th ANNUAL HAWAII STATE MATHCOUNTS COMPETITIONThe 34th Annual Hawaii State MATH-

COUNTS Competition was held March 4, 2017in the Kamehameha Schools Kalama DiningHall to decide who will go to the 2017 RaytheonMATHCOUNTS National Competition on May14-15, 2017 in Orlando, Florida. Competingwere the six finalist Oahu Chapter schoolsincluding Highlands Intermediate, Iolani,Kamehameha Middle, Kapolei Middle,Punahou, and Washington Middle, plusWaiakea Intermediate the Hawaii Chapter final-ist, and Iao School finalist from the MauiChapter. That’s 32 Mathletes from the teamsand six high scoring individuals from theChapters and not part of these eight teams.

After the scores of the Sprint, Target, andTeam Rounds were tallied, the first place teamwas again Washington Middle School.Washington has dominated the MATHCOUNTScompetitions since 2011, taking first placeseven straight times. Last year was an allWashington team going to the national, the fourMathletes and the Coach Sung Park. TheCountdown Round started with Kyung Bong Koas the first seed, second seed was Darren Do,third seed Anna Baker, fourth seed Zi He Yan,all of Washington, followed by fifth seed KevinLi of Waiakea, and then Pascal He of Punahou,Joshua Park of Iolani, Michael Chen ofPunahou, Michael Wong of Iao, and tenth seedDestiny Shishido of Highlands. The seeding isdetermined by the combined scores of theSprint and Target Rounds where the ninth andtenth seeds start the Countdown Round com-petition.

This time Michael Wong of Iao School ofMaui created his Cinderella Story. Starting fromninth place in the Countdown Round, he foughthis way all the way to second place only to befinally bumped off by the top seed and scorerKyung Bong Ko of Washington. Wong knockedoff eight consecutive Mathletes on his way toreserve his seat on the airplane as a member ofthe Hawaii team. This was a first for HawaiiMATHCOUNTS where a Mathlete started solow and ending up on the Hawaii team.

Following the Washington team, in secondplace was the Iolani team, followed byPunahou, Kamehameha, Waiakea, Iao,Highlands and Kapolei Middle School.

The awards presenters were DebbieLindsey, Head of School, KamehamehaSchools Kapalama; Nathan Yuen, HawaiianElectric Company; Dewey Gottlieb, EducationSpecialist for Mathematics, Hawaii Departmentof Education; and Mike Kamaka, President-Elect, Hawaii Society of Professional Engineers(HSPE) Educational Foundation. This yearHawaii MATHCOUNTS presented a Certificate

of Appreciationplaque to two compa-nies in recognition oftheir generous sup-port and service infostering excellencein mathematics.Accepting the plaquefor Covanta HPOWERwas Barry Nakamoto,and accepting theplaque for HawaiianElectric Companywas Nathan Yuen.

Hawaii MATH-COUNTS SteeringCommittee and HSPEthank all the volunteers who made this compe-tition possible. This includes the proctors fromthe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and thescorers from Hawaiian Electric Company. The

co-Master of Ceremonies was Lou Muzzarini,retired U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, andRosella Motoki of Hawaiian Electric.

Sustainability for School HVAC Systems inHawaii By: Dean S. Borges, P.E.

In 2016 the Hawaii Legislature providedfunding to improve heat abatement efforts inpriority schools which included air conditioning(AC) in 1000 classrooms by December, 2016. Itdid not happen as planned because the elec-trical system requirements for AC infrastructurerequired substantial investment. After thoseimprovements are built the new HVAC Systemswill demand power to operate AC for thoseusers for years to come (maximum 20 year use-ful life of equipment). This will have a hugeimpact to the future operation and mainte-

nance budgets and should be required to haveSUSTAINABLE AC products, designs and ser-vicability to meet this demand.

To accomplish the least cost choices for thetax payers HIDOE administrators should use:1. A life cycle costing method of selection ofAC (not the lowest cost equipment), 2. Providefor remote monitoring AC by the FacilitiesServices Division (not presently allowed) tohave continual reports of problems and 3. Useof non-chemical water treatment systems inlarge central plant cooling systems with cool-ing towers (See ASHRAE Standard 188 fordetails)to minimize pollution of the water sentdown the drains. Adoption of these policies bythe HIDOE (if additionally funded byLegislature for engineering, internet access,and non-chemical water treatment systems) areduction in the impacts to our tax burdens forpower purchases, increase serviceability of theAC systems, and reduced chemical spills inthe local environment. Once the electricalinfrastructure is in place these systems can bedesigned, constructed and enjoyed for yearsby our public school sites (by everyone not justthe principals) and now is the time to set thepolicy and provide the funding that will makethis vision a reality for 20 years or more.Otherwise, these new (and replacement) sys-tems will be wasting energy, not be properlymaintained and polluting our world in manyways. In addition to a major policy shift byHIDOE the engineers of AC systems must havedirection from the State by adopting the latestStandards for higher efficiency equipment in a

Big Island and Kona-Kohala Chapters ofHSPE Hold Engineers Week Banquet

Engineers Week 2017 was celebrated on theBig Island on February 17 with a banquet at thevenerable Hilo Yacht Club along the rockyKeaukaha shoreline. A packed-house party of52 people gathered to mingle and celebratethe fact that engineers have the best jobs onthe planet. The banquet was hosted by theHSPE’s Big Island Chapter but attracted agood-sized delegation from the Kona-KohalaChapter as well. Local singer-actor NormanArancon entertained the crowd during cocktailhour preceding the dinner. The program alsoincluded a slide presentation by Dr. DonThomas, professor of geology at the Universityof Hawaii, and Director of the university’sCenter for the Study of Active Volcanoes. Dr.Thomas presented results of his ongoing deepdrilling program that probed for fresh waterresources near Hilo and in the saddle betweenMauna Kea and Mauna Loa. The findings fromthe deep boreholes are fundamentally chang-ing scientists’ views of how water is storedunder the Big Island. Findings of significantreservoirs of water at elevations as high as4,500 feet above sea level and artesian wateras low as 10,000 feet below sea level indicatethat the amount of fresh water stored in subsur-face formations of the island are vastly largerthan previously believed.

Big Mahalo to Curtis Beck, P.E., and MikeLum, P.E., for spear-heading the event, andalso to the consulting firms of SSFMInternational, Wes Segawa & Associates,Engineering Partners, Bowers and Kubota, andOkahara & Associates for their support. Thegathering raised approximately $400 for theMATHCOUNTS program of math competitionfor intermediate school students.

HAWAII MATHCOUNTS 2017Except for the Hawaii Team competing in the

2017 Raytheon MATHCOUNTS NationalCompetition on May 14-15, 2017 in Orlando,Florida, the HSPE sponsored MATHCOUNTScompetitions are done until the next OahuChapter Competition in eleven months. Thisyear 25 teams competed in the Oahu ChapterCompetition. There are about 56 middle/inter-mediate schools on Oahu. More than half donot benefit from one of the engaging math pro-grams to U.S. middle school students of allability levels in order to build confidence andimprove attitudes towards math and problemsolving.

Visiting the MATHCOUNTS website, you’llread that MATHCOUNTS is said to have one ofthe nation’s most effective STEM learning pro-

grams. Middle school students exist at a criti-cal juncture in which their love for mathematicsmust be nurtured, or their fear of mathematicsmust be overcome. MATHCOUNTS providesstudents with the kinds of experiences that fos-ter growth and transcend fear to lay a founda-tion for future success. Engineers may want tocheck whether or not their schools are partici-pating, and if not, find out what it takes to par-ticipate in one or more of MATHCOUNTS pro-grams.

timely manner (using the ASHRAE 2004 ver-sions presently). Not allowing internet connec-tions to all the existing Direct Digital Control(DDC) systems in today’s schools is a mockeryof the intent of the adopted DOE HICHPSDesign Criteria by it’s own HIDOE internet ser-vices because they suspect a violation willoccur. No entity is free of being attacked byCyber Security criminals yet HVAC internet sys-tems are deemed “suspects” before beingallowed and are rendered useless for the DOEBranch of Facilities Maintenance. When willthese internal walls of defiance be brokendown so the millions of kilowatts of energybeing wasted daily by the schools can be lim-ited to an efficient level of comfort level andenabling proper operations and maintenanceto occur?
