2006 MATHCOUNTS NATIONAL COMPETITION

On their way to the awards banquet, L-R: Pauline Marcello, NicoleSato, Rowena Blaisdell, Dong-Gil Shin, Li Ann Wada, Edward Hon,and William Chambers.

“A jar contains 8 red balls, 6 green balls and24 yellow balls. In order to make the probabili-ty of choosing a yellow ball from the jar on thefirst selection equal to one-half, Kerry will addX red balls and Y green balls. What is the aver-age of X and Y?” The answer to this problemmade eighth grader Daesun Yim the 2006MATHCOUNTS National Champion on May 12,2006.

The National Competition in this 23rd yearmoved back to Washington, D.C., well, to closeby Arlington, VA. Last year General Motorshosted the competition in Detroit, Michigan.This time the host was Lockheed MartinCorporation headquartered in Arlington. BothGeneral Motors and Lockheed Martin areNational Sponsors. The event was held at theHyatt Regency Crystal City at Reagan NationalAirport, Arlington, Virginia. This prestigiouscompetition drew 228 Mathletes from the 50states, U.S. Territories, District of Columbia,and schools from the Department of Defenseand State Department.

HIGH SCORERSTo find the individual National Champion, the

top 12 Mathletes, as a result of the written com-petition rounds, competed in the intense, one-on-one oral Countdown Round. The final twocompetitors were Yim of West Windsor, NJ andAndrew Ardito of Coxsackie, NY. Yim answeredthe “colored balls in a jar” math problem in 45seconds. Also reaching the Semi-finals wereNeal Wu of Baton Rouge, LA and Kevin Chenof Missouri City, TX. Wu was last year’s NationalChampion as a seventh grader.

The top six of the 12 Mathletes competing inthe Countdown Round included high writtenround scorer Neal Wu, and next Daniel Li,Kevin Chen, Nathan Benjamin, Daesun Yim,and Sam Keller.

Daniel Li of Fairfax, VA was part of the firstplace, Virginia National Team Champions.

PRIZESAs National Champ, Yim received an $8,000

scholarship, a trip to the U.S. Space Camp anda notebook computer. Second place Arditoreceived a $6,000 scholarship. Semi-finalistsWu and Chen each received a $4,000 scholar-ship. Wu also received an $8,000 scholarshipas the Written Round Winner, and Li received a$6,000 scholarship as the Written RoundRunner-up.

The first-place Virginia team members eachreceived a $2,000 scholarship, trip to U.S.Space Camp and a notebook computer.

HAWAII MATHLETESAfter the long, long flight from Honolulu to

Virginia, and a tough competition, the HawaiiTeam did have a great time touring the Nation’sCapital and visiting with U.S. Senator Daniel K.Akaka. Obviously, jet lag has an effect on par-ticipants in competitions robbing them of thatedge to make them competitive. The Universityof Hawaii football team can attest to that effectwith their consistently poor performances awayfrom home.

The Hawaii Team placed 37 out of the 57teams at the National Competition. The highestscoring team member was Dong-Gil Shin of

Jarrett Middle School. He ranked 76 out of 228competitors. His teammates included WilliamChambers of Iolani School, Edward Hon ofParker School, and Nicole Sato of PunahouSchool. Their coach was Li Ann Wada of Iolani.

Getting back to the effects of jet lag, theHawaii Team did not fly the farthest distance,actually the Northern Mariana Islands andGuam Teams flew farther, but the Hawaii Teamdid have to go through six time zones to com-pete. If you arrive two or three days before thecompetition, you will still have trouble sleepingthe night before the competition. Not gettingenough sleep, your mind will not be as sharpfor solving problems. Looking at the results, thetop individuals had the advantage of beingfrom the east coast. The top ten teams includ-ed Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts,Maryland, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina,from the east coast or eastern half of the main-land. Enough said about the effects of jet lag.

SPONSORSThe Founding Sponsors of MATHCOUNTS

are the National Society of ProfessionalEngineers, the National Council of Teachers ofMathematics, and the CNA Foundations.National Sponsors also include LockheedMartin, Raytheon Company, Texas InstrumentsInc., General Motors Foundation, 3MFoundation, Northrop Grumman Foundationand National Aeronautics and SpaceAdministration.

By the way, the answer to the final problemwas five.

Visiting U.S. Senator Daniel K. Akaka, L-R: Li Ann Wada, PaulineMarcello, Edward Hon, Mathlete parent, Nicole Sato, Dean Sato,U.S. Senator Akaka, William Chambers, Rowena Blaisdell, andDong-Gil Shin.

KNOW YOUR ASCE HISTORYby C.S. Papacostas

BENDER’S ILL-FATED PLANS[Erratum: A misplaced sentence in last

month’s (June 2006) article created a wrongimpression. Actually, the project that was com-pleted in Sept. 1917 was the Mo`ole Ditch fromHillebrand Glen to Reservoir No. 4.] One of thefirst official proposals for the construction of amajor reservoir in the vicinity of the current No.4 in Nu`uanu Valley was made by Major A. S.Bender who, as I mentioned last April, wascommissioned by the Kingdom in early 1884“to take [the] question of water supply in hand,”according to the Pacific Commercial Advertiser(PCA) of Feb. 16. The California consultingengineer was eventually asked to address thecity’s need for wastewater disposal and toassist in establishing street grades as well.

In his report to the 1884 session of theLegislative Assembly that opened on April 26,King Kalakaua was quoted, “My Minister of theInterior will also submit for your consideration,plans for the supply of Honolulu with an abun-dance of water to an extent commensurate witha large future development of the city.” [PCAMay 3, 1884].

A short report from Bender to MinisterCharles T. Gulick is contained in the latter’sreport for 1884, which I discovered in the rarebooks section of the Hawaiian Collection at theUniversity’s Hamilton Library.

Bender’s report, dated April 12, 1884, begins,“SIR: In obedience to your instructions, I havemade preliminary examinations on the most eli-gible sites for storage reservoirs ... in both theManoa and Nuuanu Valleys.” He recommended“an earth or masonry dam of large dimensions.Considerations of real economy as well as dueregard for the safety of private property lyingbelow any site that may be selected, demandthat this structure should be of the most endur-ing character.” In order “to commence and carryon the work during the present fiscal period,” hesuggested the sum of $200,000 and he con-cluded by saying that he had not as yet studiedthe role of artesian wells in the overall scheme ofpermanent water supply.

The 1886 Biennial report of Minister Gulickascertains that the Bureau of Surveying hadcompleted the first comprehensive mapping ofthe city’s water supply system in 1883. It alsocontains, as appendices, four reports by MajorBender: a preliminary and a final report on theWater Supply of Honolulu dated June 12, 1884and July 31, 1885 respectively, and a prelimi-nary and final report on the Sewage ofHonolulu, dated July 31, 1885 and March 31,1886.

In the first report, he selected Nu`uanu Valleyover Manoa for a storage reservoir and pre-sented two alternatives that had been “con-toured under the direction of the Surveyor-General.” These were a large “upper site” anda preferred lower site “below the Pelly falls.”

Having rejected an earth dam, he proposeda solid masonry dam, “a structure that wouldnever be swept away, which an unusual distur-bance of nature might injure to the extent ofcausing leakage and a gradual loss of thestored water, but not to that of occasioning itssudden and destructive descent upon thelands below.” In addition, he specified a reser-voir relying “upon a moderate and uniformdepth rather than upon the natural condition ofthe basin” with “bottom and sides as impervi-ous as possible.” In this manner, sedimentaccumulation, vegetable growth, and evapora-tion would be minimized.

A distributing reservoir at an as yet unspeci-fied location was to be excavated and “linedwith some impervious coating, such as con-crete, puddling or both.”

In his final report, Bender confirmed theaforementioned “Luakaha” location as the bet-ter of the two considered and provided designdetails, including a 25-foot high dam with areservoir elevation, when full, at 785 feet abovemid-tide, an adjustable pipe “by means ofwhich a supply may be drawn from the pureststratum,” and a masonry double-chamber fil-tering reservoir near the head of the ditch witha water elevation at 378 feet. He also specifiedthe necessary pipe configuration and the pre-ferred location of a one-million gallon distribut-ing reservoir “upon the spur of [Punchbowl] hill,nearly opposite the head of Emma Street... 190feet above mid-tide.”

Finally, he proposed keeping the existingsupplies “furnished by the pool at Kapena Falls[and] the Makiki source.” Various referencesexplain that both of these were operated withthe use of masonry reservoirs.

In addition to his water supply and sewageworks assignments, Bender was one of threeengineers that oversaw the establishment ofgrades for streets and highways. The other twoengineers were J. D. Brown and Julius H.Smith, Superintendent of Public Works [PCANov. 10, 1886].

Interestingly, on Dec. 29, 1884, that is, beforeissuance of Bender’s final report on the sub-ject, Minister Gulick published a request forproposals to construct, in accordance withplans and specifications, a storage reservoir,“a dam of first class rubble masonry laid in fullbeds of hydraulic cement,” distribution pipes,and a concrete or brick-work distributing reser-voir, with a proviso that “the Minister reservesthe right to reject the lowest or any bid.”

According to Thos. F. Sedgwick’s “History ofthe Honolulu Water Works” that was publishedin 1913, “Major Bender’s plans were not carriedout at this time.”

ASME HAWAII SECTION ELECTIONACTIVITIES

ASME-HI members are signing up tobecome Precinct Officials for the 2006 Primaryand General Elections. This is an excellentfundraising opportunity for nonprofit organiza-tions like ASME. Although each Election Day islong (5:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.), some believe it isbetter than buying tickets or cookies and givingthem away. Besides, this is a way to work withothers, possibly making new acquaintances,instead of sitting in front of the TV.

POWER TECHNICAL CHAPTEREd Chang, well HECO, recently procured a

NITON Alloy Analyzer. The instrument is usedto verify boiler, pressure vessels, pump, andturbine component materials before repairwelding and to identify stock materials whosemarkings have faded away. This analyzer is atube-based.

What about a demonstration of an orbitalpipe welding system? If you are interested inone of these demonstrations, please visit theASME-HI Power Technical Chapter site atwww.sections.asme.org/hawaii/power.html.

Coalition of Hawaii Engineering andArchitectural Professionals to prohibit procure-ment contracts from requiring Contractors to“Defend” the State did not pass this past leg-islative session, it appears that DOE and DAGSare allowing the prime consultant to cross outthe “Defense” clause from their contracts.

State DOT still requires the “Indemnificationand Defense” clause to remain in their con-tracts.

Young Member Committee:A social gathering is being planned at

Matters of Taste (Gentry Pacific Design Center)for the Young Member Committee. The gather-ing will consist of an appetizer and 3 courses,with a wine pairing for each course. Date andcost will be provided once they are known.

New Member Applications:Kylie Yamatsuka’s application to be a Full

SEAOH Member was approved. No new appli-cations for SEAOH membership were receivedto vote on.

New Business:The County of Hawaii (Big Island) was in the

process of adopting the 1997 UBC, howeverthey are now hoping to put together a draft billby the end of November 2006 to adopt the2006 IBC/IRC. We expect to receive a draft ofthe proposed amendment in the near future forreview and comments. It will be posted on ourweb site when available. Should any one haveany comments or recommendations, pleaseforward them to Gary Chock for consolidation.

Old Business:SEAOH Representative for 2006 Hawaiian

Cement Concrete Achievement Award:President B. Fung and Dean Doi are represent-ing SEAOH as jurors to serve on the review andselection panel for the 2006 ConcreteAchievement Award. The judging is from June13, 2006 to June 29, 2006.

Public Outreach Seminar/Event:G. Chock prepared a “Wind Resistance

Devices Technical Specs”for the State of HawaiiDepartment of Commerceand Consumer Affairs LossMitigation Grant Program.This document includesfive (5) options for hurri-cane retrofitting. The LossMitigation Grant Programprovides a retrofit grant ofup to 35% of the hard cost,or up to $2,100. The docu-ment is currently underreview and comments,however it is anticipatedthat most of the commentswill not pertain to the tech-nical points of the docu-ment.

Tim Waite (SimpsonStrong Tie) volunteered tojoin the Public OutreachCommittee. Potentialspeakers for the PublicOutreach Seminar have notyet been contacted.

Tentative date for thePublic Outreach Seminarwill likely be when the“Wind Resistance DevicesTechnical Specs” goespublic, which is expectedto occur in mid-September.The SEAOH membershipwill be briefed on this topicof hurricane retrofittingprior to the PublicOutreach Seminar.

build a government relations program to servethe needs of its membership and advance theprofession of civil engineers, especially inWashington, DC. In July 2005, a TaskCommittee on Political Involvement was formedto examine how ASCE could increase our suc-cess and enhance our efforts in the politicalarena.

One recommendation was the formation of apolitical action committee (PAC). This commit-tee would allow ASCE members to pool ourresources to support candidates for publicoffice. Other professional organizations suchas the American Medical Association,American Institute of Architects, AmericanBanking Association, and National Associationof Realtors have PACs. With a PAC, we willhave greater access to and recognition withelected officials, and be able to raise the pro-file of ASCE in Washington, DC.

As with any initiative, there will be differencesof opinions. Before the ASCE Board ofDirectors proceed any further in discussing thenext steps in the formation of a PAC at theirOctober 2006 meeting, we would like to hearfrom you regarding this issue. Please contactany member on the Executive Committee if youhave any questions or concerns.

New Post Officers InstalledThe Honolulu post of the Society of American

Military Engineers installed new officers at theJune luncheon. The 2006/2007 post officersare shown above.

Thanks to our outgoing Post PresidentColonel Steve Hoarn has served with distinc-

tion as the SAME Honolulu Post President forthe last two years. Normal tenure is one year;however, he volunteered to accept a secondyear in office. Under his leadership theHonolulu Post has been selected as a SAMEDistinguished Post both years running. Thedistinction is judged upon criteria within cate-gories of membership (individual membershipsand sustaining member firms have bothincreased), relationships and recognition(coordination and relationships within theFederal, State and local Governments, andwith small businesses), education and training(programs oriented to specific technicalvenues covering military engineering issuesand sustainable design and construction), andoutreach/communications (participation in pro-grams such as MATHCOUNTS, and outreachto young members and university organiza-tions). Within Colonel Hoarn’s tenure, scholar-ships have increased from an award of onlyone scholarship just 3 years ago to a total of 8scholarships totaling $20,000 for the Fall of2006 school year, and national security andreadiness (development of a comprehensiveprogram to prepare the Honolulu Post to servethe community in times of a disaster, natural orfor Homeland Security requirements). For thesecond year the Honolulu Post swept all thecategories “with distinction”.

Colonel Steve Hoarn is quick to lay creditupon his Board of Directors, but his leadershiphas served us well. We all wish him the best in
