Or did your kids go to publicschool or private school? Oh well, the good news for public school is that the HighlandsIntermediate School’s math team placed fourth and the Kawananakoa Middle School’smath team placed fifth out of 32 middle schools competing in the MATHCOUNTS 2006Oahu Chapter Competition, and are two of the six Oahu math teams that will representOahu in the Hawaii State MATHCOUNTS Competition on March 11, 2006. Other publicschools performing well as a team included Washington Middle School in seventh place,Jarrett Middle School in eighth place, and Moanalua Middle School in ninth place.Kahuku Intermediate School was named the “Best New School.” This is the award madeto the highest scoring school that did not participate in last year’s competition, and hasnot placed in the top ten.For more good public school news Dong-Gil Shin of Jarrett Middle School placed third,Sherilyn Tomagawa of Kawananakoa Middle School placed fourth, and Jordan Lum ofHighlands Intermediate School placed tenth in the individual scoring out of 226 studentscompeting.The 23rd MATHCOUNTS Oahu Chapter Competition was held Saturday, February 11,2006, in the Kamehameha Schools Kalama Dining Hall. Kamehameha Schools have beenhosting Hawaii MATHCOUNTS for most of these 23 years, and it is a pleasure to reportthat the Kamehameha Middle School team placed third, with Aaron Nagao placing second in both the individual scoring and the Countdown Round.Punahou School took home the Hawaii Society of Professional Engineers’ “PerpetualTeam Trophy” for being the top team in this competition. Coach Evelyn Cheong who waslast year’s State Team Coach at the MATHCOUNTS National Competition held in DetroitMichigan leads them. Team members Nicole Sato placed fifth, Sarah Loui sixth, and EricLiaw placed seventh.The Iolani School team took second place with the outstanding William Chambers winning both the individual scoring and Countdown Round. Team members Scott Sakaidaand Anders Lee placed eighth and ninth, respectively, in individual scoring.MATHCOUNTS is a national math enrichment, coaching and competition program thatpromotes middle school mathematics achievement through grassroots involvement inevery U.S. state and territory. MATHCOUNTS is one of the most successful educationpartnerships involving volunteers, educators, industry sponsors, and students. With newfocus on innovation, education to strengthen U.S. competitiveness urged by corporateand academic leaders, take note that MathCounts has been a leader in this effort for 23years.Each year the participation by middle schools (6th, 7th and 8th graders) increases.Each school has a team of 4 Mathletes and up to 4 alternate Mathletes . At bothChapter and State competitions, they all go through three grueling rounds of math problem solving. The first is the Sprint Round with its 30 problems, and then comes the TargetRound and its 8 multi-step problems, and finally the Team Round with 10 problems solvedby the team of 4 Mathletes . The top scoring individuals move on to the CountdownRound where pairs of Mathletes compete against each other and the clock. AlthoughMathCounts questions are written with the curricula for grades 6-8 in mind, many of usEngineers would not want to compete against these students. The school coaches prepare their teams like school athletes. Problem solving strategies are practiced along withhours and hours of problem solving.On May 11-14, 2006, Hawaii’s four top Mathletes will be in Arlington, Va. to take partin the Lockheed Martin MATHCOUNTS National Competition.The Hawaii Society of Professional Engineers (HSPE) has sponsored the Hawaii MATHCOUNTS for these past 23 years. Dr. Michael Chun, President and Headmaster ofKamehameha Schools, is the Hawaii MATHCOUNTS Chairman. Continual, supportivemajor sponsors have been Aloha Airlines and Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO). Everyyear volunteers from HECO, the US Army Corp of Engineers, ASCE, ASME, SSFM, andSAME help proctor and score the competitions.Award presenters included L-R: Dr. Michael Chun,Pat Hamamoto, Sister John Joseph Gilligan, NathanYuen.The Kahuku Intermediate School Team was namedthe “Best New School”.The Highlands Intermediate School Team was thehighest placing public school team.Individual event winners Aaron Nagao and WilliamChambers.

Wright234-0821Email: -1721Legislation and the Businessof EngineeringOne of ACECH’s major roles is promoting thebusiness interests of the engineering industryin the State Legislature. ACECH seeks passage of legislation and policies that create afavorable business climate in which the engineering industry can help Hawaii grow andimprove the quality of life for its citizens.ACECH is part of a larger advocacy umbrellagroup (the Coalition of Hawaii Engineering andArchitectural Professionals, or CHEAP) thatincludes all the major engineering societiesand the AIA. We also work actively with groupssuch as professional liability insurers, theBuilding Industry Association and the GeneralContractors Association to promote legislaturethat benefits the construction and design professional industry in Hawaii.Here’s a summary of the bills that we are following this year:Removal of the word “defend” from theState Contract Indemnification clauseHouse Bill (HB) 2594/Senate Bill (SB) 3198seeks to remedy the current State contractrequirement for a person or entity providingdesign professional services to “defend” theState. We note that such onerous requirementsare not included in Federal contracts, and thatthe City and County of Honolulu removed the“defend” requirement from their contract in1995. Inclusion of the word “defend” in anindemnity with regard to claims arising fromprofessional negligence creates liabilitybeyond professional liability (E&O) insurancecoverage. While the “defend” provision hasexisted in State design contracts for decades,its presence has become a critical issue in thepast few years due to the current State AttorneyGeneral (AG) tendering the State’s defensecost to design firms.A similar bill was passed by the legislaturelast year but was vetoed by the Governorbecause of objectionable language in the preamble to the Senate version, which was theversion passed out of Committee. Over thepast year, we attempted to resolve this issueadministratively with the Attorney General’soffice. The AG’s office agreed to revise theclause and to encourage the StateDepartments and Agencies to use the revisedclause. However, we felt that the letter issuedwas weak, authorizing removal of the defenseclause only on a case-by-case basis, and forprojects where the design professional’s services are “minimal”. We have already hadCertificate of MeritMany malpractice and negligence claimsbrought against architects and engineers mayhave no material basis or justification in fact orin law. Even in those instances where the inclusion of the design professional in a malpracticelawsuit may be peripheral, meritless, or frivolous, financial consequences are likely as thedesign professional is forced to undertake adefense and incur expenses up to the point ofdismissal.HB1417/SB1836 seeks to provide designprofessionals with some measure of protectionfrom frivolous and/or unfounded malpracticeactions by requiring that, before the filing of aclaim against a design professional for failureto meet the standard of care, the claimant ortheir attorney must file a Certificate of Merit thatstates that a qualified design professional ofthe same discipline as the defendant has beenconsulted as to the merits of the complaint, andbelieves that there is a sufficient basis in contract or in law for commencement of the action.Our strongest opposition to this bill is fromthe plaintiff attorneys’ lobbyist.We have not had this bill heard yet this year.It was deferred from 2005 and awaits hearingby a joint House Consumer Protection andCommerce (CPC) and JUD committee. It wasnever heard by the Senate so is dead thereagain this year. However, the Chairs of HouseCPC/JUD have agreed to hear the bill and, if itpasses out of that joint committee, it still hastime to cross over to the Senate.Various procurement-related billsACECH (along with the State ProcurementOffice and DAGS) is opposing three bills(SB2995, SB2996 and SB2997) that provideindividual State agencies with what we believeare unacceptable exemptions from the Stateprocurement code.We are also opposing SB2625, which wouldamend HRS 103D by adding a preference forbidders employing persons with disabilities(physical or mental impairment). The bill statesthat, “(w)hen a governmental body contractsfor goods, services, or construction, a preference shall be given to a responsible andresponsive bidder who pledges to hire individuals with disabilities”. We believe that this billdoes not an appropriate or practical method ofproviding a preference and would be an unreasonable burden on design professional firms.All four of these bills have been heard andwere passed out of one or two committees, andawait hearing in the final committee, Ways andMeans (WAM). We will continue to opposethese bills and inform you of the outcome.Want to help?Most of the effort on behalf the design professional community this year has been by thekey ACECH Board and CHEAP members (principally Lester Fukuda, who is an invaluableresource because of the many years he haslobbied on the industry’s behalf at the legislature and the contacts that he has made there).It takes a lot of work to get bills passed, andthese people can spend up to 10-15 hours a(continued on page 7)
