Event looks at local NASA astronaut’s ill-fated mission JANE CALLAHAN Senior Staff Writer

It was a cold morning at the Kennedy Space Center on Jan. 28, 1986 – a day when “most [current students] weren’t even born yet,” according to profesor Hope Jahren, chair of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Distinguished Lecture Series.

That day, Ellison S. Onizuka, a Kona native, embarked on his second mission aboard Space Shuttle Challenger. The launch ended in tragedy, as Americans watched the shuttle tear apart on live television.

“It’s been 25 years, and I think it’s time for people to remember, and for the next generation to learn about what happened on the Challenger,” said Ellison’s younger brother Claude Onizuka when he addressed a crowd at the architecture building last Thursday about his late brother’s legacy.

Claude Onizuka shared pictures from the ‘50s and ‘60s, when the brothers grew up on their parents’ coffee plantation. They attended the only local high school that existed at the time, Kona Waena. Having enrolled in the ROTC program, Ellison Onizuka received a full scholarship with the U.S. Air Force and attended the University of Colorado at Boulder. His accomplishments eventually made him one of the 25 applicants out of 8,000 to be selected for NASA training. He went on his first launch in 1985, bringing a supply of macadamia nuts and Kona coffee.

ELLSION _SHOJI / NASA

Ellison Onizuka, born in Kealakekua, Kona, Hawai‘i, was the first Asian American to reach space. He lost his life during the destruction of Space Shuttle Challenger. His brother, Claude Onizuka, has acted as the family spokesman in the wake of his brother’s passing, giving lectures on his brother’s life and vision.

“To this day, Kona coffee and macadamia nuts are on the astronauts’ menus,” said Claude Onizuka.

Claude Onizuka fl ipped to another photo, one of Ellison Onizuka eating freeze-dried food with chopsticks and jokingly wearing a kamikaze headband.

“We lost Ellison, but he went into this program with his eyes

wide open. He knew the dangers,” said Claude Onizuka. “He once said to me that if anything went wrong [on the craft] to remember he was sitting on top of a giant bomb.”

Examination of salvaged materials after the crash did not answer all the questions as to how and when the crew died.

“We don’t know if they died

during or after the explosion. After they got all the pieces together in a warehouse, I saw the pilot seat, and the seat behind it, which was my brother’s. The seatbelts were cut in the same place at the same angle, as if by a razorblade. So they believe death to have come at the moment of impact, when they crashed in the ocean,” said Claude Onizuka.

He added that he noticed an emergency switch turned on in a location where only his brother could have fl ipped it.

“They waited until they found the remains of all seven,” said Claude Onizuka. “They found Ellison’s UC class ring.”

Ellison Onizuka was buried at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacifi c at Punchbowl.

While Claude Onizuka’s talk was intended to honor the service his brother provided this country, he also seeks to revive interest in space travel advancement.

Space Shuttle Endeavour recently came home from its last mission.

“Now we’re relying on Russia,” said Claude Onizuka, referring to the fact that the U.S. must now “buy” seats on Russian space missions for millions of dollars.

“Hopefully soon we will have something to put [NASA] back in the forefront,” Claude Onizuka said.

Ellison Onizuka was awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor after his death. Not bad, said his brother, for a man who “went from a coffee plantation in Kona to flying the most advanced machine we have.”

DAVID TER AOK A Staff Writer Bruce Morton, professor emeritus of biochemistry at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, claims to have founded the fi rst science-based religion, outlined in his new book, “Neuroreality: A Scientific Religion to Restore Meaning,” which came out in May. Neuroreality, a religion that fully embraces scientific research about the brain, explains that the power of God is always inside us, not as a supernatural element, but as an inner source of higher power hidden within the brain.

Morton’s belief comes out of a drug-induced experience called “ego death.” During a restless and depressed period of his life, Morton tried many different therapies, including drug therapy. He took over 40 psychoactive drugs, which caused him to think he had died. It put him in a transcendent state, which gave him the clarity to contact the “Source,” a part of the brain that is normally suppressed by the ego. Since then, he has been devoted to sharing his message with everyone.

Born in 1938, Morton got his Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin in 1965, and did research at MIT and Harvard Medical School. Morton began his tenure at UH Mānoa in 1975, which is when the inquiries that would lead him to Neuroreality started.

“I began looking intently for answers. I asked myself the following: ‘What do I think is the most significant problem facing humanity today?’” he writes in his book about this period. His studies drew him to neuroscience, specifically human emotions and the brain.

“The brain, the most complex, least understood of all our bodily organs, is one of the last frontiers of

Neuroreality is a religion based on science and founder Bruce Morton’s discovery of a psychological component termed the “Source.” ignorance. Yet, the brain is the mechanical device through which we are aware of our surroundings and which determines how we personally respond to them,” he explained.

“Over the more than 35 years at UH, it has been my honor to teach biochemistry and neurochemistry to thousands of bright, inquiring UH undergrads, and to have worked with hundreds of excellent graduate students from here and elsewhere,” said

Morton in an online interview.

“I could not have been in a better location ... to pursue my life’s work, which has led to the development of Neuroreality.”

Morton’s book received high praise from some academics worldwide, calling it “a major contribution” and “a trip worth taking.” He is currently in Guatemala researching psychological stress. His book is available on Amazon.com.

Expanding shark research in Palau

An Island Tradition For Over 12 Years!

JESSI SCHULTZ Associate News Editor

Researchers from around the globe, conservationists, commercial dive operators, and even government agencies have joined forces to monitor sharks in Palau.

The Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System, based at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, has teamed up with international partners to expand research on conserving sharks as an integral part of oceanic ecosystems.

“The study of the sharks in Palau was initiated by the Micronesian Shark Foundation, which formed a partnership with AIMS [Australian Institute of Marine Science] [and] SOSF [Save Our Seas Foundation], who contributed to the shark research,” according to the MSF website.

The foundation was established in Palau to enable the study of sharks, but has been restricted by limited funding. But with the PacIOOS investment in various shark research foundations including the MSF, research can begin to focus on increasing stations to gain more complete information on sharks’ movements and behaviors in the waters surrounding Palau.

PAC I O O S PacIOOS focuses on providing information on the coastal and open waters of the Pacific Islands.

Director of PacIOOS Christopher Ostrander explained that their focus is on collecting data on coastal hazards, marine transportation and recreation, water quality, and ecosystems.

“A goal [of PacIOOS] is to develop the necessary observations and understanding of coastal oceanography, which are coupled with public outreach so the information can be readily used to ensure the health of the coastal zone and the safety of those who use them,” said Jane Schoonmaker, a specialist and

Galapagos sharks (Carcharhinus galapagensis) are a common inshore shark found throughout the Pacific, including Hawai‘i.

PUUIKIBEACH/ FLICKR

undergraduate chair of the Department of Oceanography.

She further explained that PacIOOS is part of a nationwide network of ocean observation systems.

In Palau, PacIOOS has helped provide tags and receivers to track sharks. Graduate students based in Australia are helping in Palau, but in Hawai‘i, graduate students are working year-round to track and tag local sharks.

“We’ve been working over the past few years to tag and track top pelagic [water not near the ocean fl oor or shore] predators around the Hawaiian Islands to better understand their population dynamics, movement and migration patterns, and interaction with the rest of the ecosystem,” said Ostrander.

TEAMING UP PacIOOS recently moved to expand their shark tracking operation beyond Hawai‘i, and teamed up with researchers and shark experts from Australia and Palau who were looking to expand the existing tracking operation in Palau.

“Since Palau falls within the PacIOOS region, and the Australian effort served to complement our existing efforts, it was a natural step to join the partnership,” said Ostrander.

The research will help the conservation of sharks, which in turn will help the balance of oceanic ecosystems. “Sharks provide balance to other populations of fi sh and mammals in the sea through consumption, and assist in the natural selection and removal of weak, sick and diseased fi sh, thereby increasing the cohort strength of existing fi sh populations and serving to keep balance between species in the food web,” said Ostrander.

Sharks are threatened by illegal fi n fi shing, as fi n soup is seen as a status symbol in Asia.

“The UN FAO [United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization] reports nearly 100 million sharks are killed each year,” explained Ostrander. “Populations around the world are threatened and, in some locations, species have already collapsed.”

“Sharks are the top of the food chain, so they control the population of pretty much the entire ecosystem. Since they are on the top, they also ref lect the health of the reef. Places where shark sightings are common are healthy, because they can support a large biomass of top predators,” said Derek See Monitoring, next page

Professor awarded grant to study social networking and politics TAYLOR MORRIS Contributing Writer The 2008 U.S. presidential election was one with several ďŹ rsts: ďŹ rst black president, ďŹ rst time the youth vote proved essential, and the ďŹ rstt time social media was used as a political tool.

University of Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i at MÄ noa Associate Professor Scott Robertson was recently awarded a $948,537 grant to research the relationship between social networking and politics.

The research will be conducted over four years, and will support two doctoral students and one post-doctorate junior researcher who will study and work under Robertson.

The purpose of this study is to better understand how politics is shaped by social networking in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world. The research will potentially uncover how social networking is used to learn about political issues, as well as how it results in voting decisions.

The study will also focus on how learning about politics through social networking is

different from learning about it l i b i through more traditional sources, such as newspapers and customary campaigns.

Robertson said he is interested in this particular source of information because â&#x20AC;&#x153;social networking is a new way politics is being conducted, so we need to learn about it.â&#x20AC;? He also said he hopes to ďŹ nd a way to get young people more engaged in politics through the networking.

The research will also attempt to find solutions to young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low levels of political participation. The current generation of young people has the highest involvement in social networking, but the lowest in politics, so this study can potentially suggest solutions through correlating the two.

Robertson will also focus his

research on how to design a better environment for the social sharing of politics, which he hopes will in turn w increase civil engagement and participation.

Robertson said he believes the vast increase in social networking has both good and bad w implications for politics. Social networking gives users access to peersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opinions, as opposed to only the mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. This can either broaden or narrow an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s views depending on his or her peers.

Social networking also makes it possible for politicians to be more direct with the people they want to reach, but makes it harder for them to hide their faults at the same time. The research will help clarify the role social networking plays, and in turn it will â&#x20AC;&#x153;bring knowledge about how best to get knowledge out and how best to express yourself,â&#x20AC;? said Robertson.

The research will follow a group of people through several different elections and media styles over the allotted time period. As technology will advance as the study progresses, the grant will also focus on evolving technology.

Features The fight for the fallen fig tree

Hey!

UH Students FILE PHOTO / KA LEO O HAWAIâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I

A year following the destruction of the comose fig tree on campus, activists are pushing to prevent a reoccurrence.

ISABELLA H ASTINGS Contributing Writer

Patricia Matsueda, a lecturer in the University of Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i at MÄ noa Department of English, recalls marveling at the nearly 100-year-old ďŹ g tree that was situated near Campus Center a year ago. Now, instead, piles of dirt and rubble occupy the site as Campus Center renovations are underway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The beautiful tree is being replaced by something that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really need,â&#x20AC;? said Matsueda, who was one of the leading activists circulating a petition against the destruction of the tree last year.

The tree was removed to make room for the new recreational center as part of the second phase of the Campus Center Renovation and Expansion Project.

The tree was planted by Joseph Rock, the ďŹ rst ofďŹ cial botanist of Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i, and UH MÄ noaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst botanist. The comose ďŹ g tree was part of the Heritage Collection of trees that Rock planted on campus nearly a century ago.

But a year after the tree was cut down, a small coalition of activists, including Matsueda, have plans to prevent the destruction of historic campus trees in the future.

Other members of the effort

include Jennie Peterson of the Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Nature Center, The Outdoor Circle (a local grassroots organization aimed at preserving local land), and former UH botany major Adam Williams.

Williams, an undergraduate at the time, started the petition to save the tree last year. When Matsueda saw what he was doing, she emailed him to ask what she could do to help. Together, they managed to get nearly 2,000 signatures protesting the removal of the tree.

But their efforts were unsuccessful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the UH MÄ noa administration and the Campus Center Board respond to the wishes of 2,000 people ... to save the tree?â&#x20AC;? Matsueda said.

Still undeterred, the activists are now taking their ďŹ ght to the Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i State Legislature. They hope to pass a resolution that will mandate that UH MÄ noa â&#x20AC;&#x153;catalogue all trees of historical valueâ&#x20AC;? and prevent the university from destroying similar trees in future construction projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The efforts to prevent the destruction of trees on campus are ongoing, and are going to involve the Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i State Legislature,â&#x20AC;? said Matsueda.

Though the resolution did not pass in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s session, the group is still determined to introduce the resolution again next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a really interesting experience,â&#x20AC;? said Matsueda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though the resolution did not pass, we are not going to give up. We can always try again â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and we will try again.â&#x20AC;?

Matsueda and her colleagues have also started a blog to preserve the memory of the comose ďŹ g tree, as well as keep people updated on local, national and international efforts to save threatened trees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We set up a blog to make people aware of trees in Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;iâ&#x20AC;? said Matsueda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The blog is the way in which we are remembering the tree and keeping alive the beauty of the tree.â&#x20AC;?

Along with commemorating the comose ďŹ gâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory online, a ceremony was held on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. A small group of people gathered at the treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cannot imagine how a rec center can compare to this irreplaceable treasure with its ability to enhance life in a deeper way,â&#x20AC;? said Peterson at the ceremony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now cut, it cannot be replaced.

Not in our lifetime or our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will we experience a nearly 100-year-old comose ďŹ g.â&#x20AC;?

Indian options close to home Indian food spices up the palate S TEPHEN L ITSCHAUER Contributing Writer There’s a stigma that Indian food is made up solely of spices that will melt your tongue, but that’s as far from the truth as India is from Hawai‘i.

Fortunately, you won’t have to go to India to debunk this myth – O‘ahu has several places for you to experience Indian cuisine. Here are a few Indian food basics to know before you start ordering.

Indian food is full of spices, but that doesn’t necessarily equate to a burning mouth. Indian spices were introduced to European palates in the 15th century, when explorers brought back new foods and fl avors. Colonialism continued to spread the food of India around the world, particularly during the British occupation of India from 1858 to 1947.

The spices of India are used worldwide. Curries are dried powders or pastes of any combination of spices, including peppers, cardamom, turmeric, allspice, garlic, cinnamon, mustard, cumin and coriander. These mixes all

var y in spiciness.

Curries also come in a few colors for quick identification: yellow, red and green curries are the most common blends found at local grocery stores.

The combination of spices included in curry mixtures can range from five to 20 different spices, so be sure to read the labels if you have any allergies or spice sensitivity.

If you want to try curry but don’t eat meat, you’ll have plenty of choices.

The large Hindu, Muslim and Buddhist populations in India have influenced the food so extensively that almost any dish can be or is made vegetarian.

Most meals start with rice as a base.

Vegetables and/or meat, cooked in sauce, are then served either on top or to the side of the rice.

There are many types of flat breads, such as naan and roti, which are also food staples. These breads can be served stuffed with meat, cheese or vegetables. Or, they can be served plain to be ripped apart and used as a utensil to help you dig in.

L O C A L E AT E R I E S

Himalayan K itchen, located at 1137 11th Ave. in Kaimukī, ser ves a wide variety of Indian and Nepalese food. The restaurant is located on the second f loor and offers both outdoor and indoor seating. With an all-youcan-eat lunch buffet on Tuesdays and Thursdays for $12.95, it is perfect for those who want to tr y a range of dishes. The staff takes the time to explain the food and is willing to make recommendations to suit your tastes. A tip for students here: It ’s B.Y.O.B. with no corkage fees.

On campus, try India Café, a food stand next to Webster Hall near the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center. With Indian food accessible Monday through Friday between 10:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., there’s no excuse for not experiencing this cuisine. India Café serves primarily Southern Indian and Malaysian DOYLE MOELLER / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I dishes. In addition to the stand at UH Mānoa, try the Kailua location or its India Café offers Indian cuisine on campus, but don’t forget cash – cards and student meal plans are not accepted. spot at the Navy Exchange.

D O I T YO U R S E L F If eating out isn’t in your budget, you can try your hand at making curry at home with this beginner recipe.

Easy Chicken Curry with Coconut Milk (serves 4) Ingredients: 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces 1-2 teaspoons minced garlic 1-2 cups water 2-3 carrots, peeled and chopped 2 green bell peppers, skins chopped (seeds and stem removed) 6 white potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 large onion, peeled and chopped 1 can of coconut milk 2-3 tablespoons of red curry paste 2 teaspoons of butter 2 cups of rice, cooked cornstarch (optional) 1. In a large pot, heat the butter and garlic over medium heat until butter is melted. Add chicken pieces and cook until they start to brown, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and set to the side for later.

2. Place the vegetables in the same pot and cover them with the water. Bring these to a boil over medium-high heat.

When boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid.

3. Let the vegetables cook on low until they become tender. (You can check this by gently poking the carrots and potatoes with a fork. If the fork easily pokes through, they are done.)

4. When the vegetables are done, add the chicken back into the pot. Mix the coconut milk and curry paste in a separate bowl until mixed well, then add it to the pot as well.

5. Stir all of these ingredients together slowly. If needed, add in small amounts of cornstarch to thicken the sauce. (Corn starch should be mixed with cold water and stirred smooth in a bowl before adding it to the pot to avoid large clumps.)

6. As the curry thickens, taste it for spice. If you want more curry paste, add it now. Stir the pot before serving and scoop over rice.

The Cult of Apple is in frenzy after beloved leader Steve Jobsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; resignation announcement. The charismatic CEO and face of the technological world led Apple from the brink of destruction to become a leader in the industry.

Upon news of the resignation, Apple stock (one of the stocks most commonly owned by the average investor) dropped in after-hours trading, and experts expected the following dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening stock price to continue the beating.

People began to question the future of Apple under the leadership of new CEO Tim Cook.

Media outlets portrayed the resignation similarly to an obituary. Without genius Jobs in charge of our technological lives, how could we mere mortals ever hope to survive?

However, the sun still rose the

next day. The satellites didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall from the sky, the economy didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t implode. Instead of rioting, people still ďŹ&#x201A;ocked to Apple stores to purchase iPads, and Skynet is yet to take over the world. Even Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock stabilized the following day after the initial hit taken during after-hours trading. This begs the question, how important are CEOs to the success of a company?

Everyone knows the extraordinary amounts of money CEOs make, but few are aware of what the job description actually entails â&#x20AC;&#x201C; other than ďŹ&#x201A; ying in your private jet and making tee times.

A typical day as a CEO can involve setting business strategy, overseeing daily operations, reviewing ďŹ nancial reports, meeting with the board of directors, and being involved in the community.

While Jobs was an incredible leader in the change Apple underwent in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s, the foundation for growth has been laid for Cook to follow. Before Jobs, Apple had neither identity nor direction. Through continual innovation, Jobs created the Apple name as it is known today.

With the infrastructure necessary for continued success already in place, Cook should be able to transition f lawlessly into his role as CEO. Formerly Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chief Operating OfďŹ cer, Cook already has the experience necessary to understand the underlying reasons for Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success.

By continuing to develop innovative products and designs, Apple should have no problem maintaining its leadership status.

The roles of the thousands of Apple employees under the direction of the CEO should not be ignored either. Although the face of Apple may have changed, the body and mind remain the same.

Cook will have a lot expected of him, likely even more than would have been expected of Jobs had he continued. Cook will face constant scrutiny and comparison from â&#x20AC;&#x153;WWJDâ&#x20AC;? (What Would Jobs Do?) critics. Even if Cook achieves great success with Apple, critics are likely to claim Jobs could have done it better. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough act to follow personally, but professionally for Apple, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a new page.
