Zoo veterinarian, Dr. Calvin Lum (kneeling at right), guessed that the 1500-pound hippo may have swallowed a metallic object, such as a wire used to wrap bales of hay, which might have punctured her stomach or small intestine. The resulting infection or blockage would be a possible cause of her weight loss.

Is this how recruiter Rich Anguay (in black) finds new recruits for the Hawaii Army National Guard? Rich certainly hopes so. Anguay is a black belt karate instructor who has been using his skills to aid in his recruiting efforts at Aiea High School. This exhibition for an appreciative audience of 400 featured Anguay against a dozen of his friends and pupils. He teaches karate at Aiea High, using the opportunity to establish a rapport with the students. Once the personal relationships are developed, Anguay has an easier time convincing students of the benefits of Army Guard membership
