Last season, pitcher Kaia Parnaby treated soft-ball fans to a season for the ages. Pitching in more than three-quarters of Hawai‘i’s total games, Parn-aby claimed almost every single-season record in University of Hawai‘i and Big West history. With Parnaby having graduated this year and pitching professionally overseas, four Rainbow Wa-hine pitchers are gearing up for the task of replac-ing an all-time great. Sophomores Keiki Carlos and Loie Kesterson, holdovers from last year’s squad, will team up with freshmen Heather Morales and Brittany Hitchcock to give head coach Bob Coolen a plethora of talent to utilize this season.

MIGHTY ʻMOʼ Morales, a 5-foot-7 freshman from Indio, Ca-lif., is the early favorite to step into the role as the ace of Hawai‘i’s staff. Following a solid exhibition season, Morales recorded two complete games and boasts a 3-1 record in the first four starts of her career. Additionally, she began her career with 20 consecutive shutout innings.

“With this being D-I softball, everyone is going to be competitive,” Morales said. “There aren’t going to be any bad athletes where you could fi nd yourself dropping down to their level of competition.” Coolen, who has named Morales as the lead pitcher in his rotation, credits the success to Mo-rales’ upbringing as a pitcher. “She has a great mentality that she’s gotten from the program she comes from,” Coolen said. “The program she comes from was hell-bent on winning. She pitched next to a girl who is going to be pitching at (No. 4) Michigan and emerged as a marquee pitcher. She’s put up a great strikeout to walk ratio, which we hope parlays itself into success because that’s what made Stephanie Ricketts and Kaia Parnaby great.”

BACK FOR MORE Kesterson, who emerged as the No. 2 pitcher last season behind Parnaby, returns in that role this year behind Morales. Kesterson showed marked improvement from last season in her fi rst two starts of the year. Kesterson is 0-2 on the year, but has ex-hibited better command and held No. 13 UCLA to one hit through six innings.

“I think last year, with Kaia taking on so much of the work, helped me because coming in I wasn’t sure of the speed and experience of the college game,” Kes-terson said. “But now that she’s gone, I know I have to take more of that experi-enced role on because now I’m the oldest of the pitchers.” But Coolen is hoping that Kesterson will be more than just a vocal leader among the young pitchers and is challenging the sophomore to lead by example as well. “Loie has a mentality of being the up-perclassman that has to lead, which is great, but now we need her to translate that out onto the mound in positive efforts,” Coolen said. “She’s been leading them through workouts, but she can’t just lead like that anymore. On the mound, the freshmen are just as good as she is, if not better, so now it’s up to Loie to raise her game.”

WILD CARD Initially, it appeared that Kesterson would be competing with Hitchcock for the role as the No. 2 starter. But a back injury to Hitchcock after the exhibition season has put her on the shelf temporarily, forcing Coolen to turn to Carlos, a pitcher he con-verted into an outfi elder last season. “After Brittany got hurt, they brought me out of retirement and moved me to pitch-er for the time needed,” Carlos said. “Coach Bob told me honestly about three weeks ago that they’d start putting me there to fi ll the need for the empty pitching spot.” Last season, it was Carlos, not Kesterson, who was the intial No. 2 pitcher in the rotation. But Carlos’ ability as a hitter prompted Coolen to move her to outfi eld, where he could keep her bat in the lineup every day. Carlos only pitched eight games as a freshman, but Coolen hopes she can still contribute to the rotation.

“Keiki is just starting pitching again, so she has a very strong, fresh arm right now,” Coolen said. “With that freshness, we’ll have to see if we can use her as a reliever behind our starters right now.”

WAITING ON DECK Hitchcock, a freshman out of Hunting-ton Beach, Calif., was supposed to be the other half of the freshman duo alongside Morales. But she suffered a back injury during the offseason between exhibitions and preseason, which has delayed her UH pitching debut. But the temporary setback has not quelled Hitchcock’s determination to make an impact. “I’ve been following UH softball for at least the last two years, so I watched Stephanie Ricketts and Kaia Parnaby, and I’m familiar with all their accomplishments,” Hitchcock said. “I’m just hoping to make my

own accomplishments and leave a mark on the program like they did.”

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE Coolen and his young hurlers know that success is not to be expected imme-diately. While Morales’ hot star t is appre-ciated, and the anticipated improvement by Kesterson and Carlos is worth noting, both sides are taking a patient approach to the early season. “All I expect of them is for them to get better with each and every outing,” Coolen said. “I’m not going to expect them to be great immediately, like how I did with Kaia. I know I must be patient with them. I can’t be jumping down their throats when they give up runs, and let them learn and work their way out of jams, because that is how they will get better, and that’s how they’ll mature.”

Researchers have solved the mystery of how massive galaxies that are elliptical were formed and had already completed their star formation at an early age. University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa astronomer David Sanders and the Institute for Astronomy played a central role in this project along with other researchers from differ-ent universities around the world. ‘This project is part of COSMOS Survey program, which has been going for 10 years,” said Sune Toft, the lead investigator for the project. “It is one of the biggest coordinated efforts to explore one piece of the sky with all the telescopes available. The IFA here is very central in this project.” Linking the compact elliptical galaxies to earlier populations of dusty starburst galaxies has solved

the mystery of the massive size of the galaxies and completion of star forma-tions through three billion years. “Through normal star formation, you could not form that much mass that fast,” Toft said. “So some extreme process would have had to happen in order to form these galaxies.” The team combined observa-tions and data from using the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer and Herschel infrared space telescope and ground-based telescopes in Hawai‘i. The team then used this informa-tion to form a picture of the history of those massive galaxies, which included the initial star formation through their eventual develop-ment to giant elliptical. “Sune’s discovery is as signifi cant as any other because it refers to 30 to 40 percent of massive galaxies,” Sanders said. “It is a big picture of the early days of the universe and that it was already making big galaxies.”

According to Toft, the team looked further back to try to fi nd the fi rst galaxies, galaxies with similar properties that could be the earlier versions of the galaxies that interested them. “We fi rst tried to explain why the galaxies were there, and then to explain the physical mechanism of how it happened,” Toft said. “We concentrated on the most distant examples of star burst galaxies.” According to Sanders, his role in the project and work with Toft started two years ago. “My involvement came about with a bit of serendipity,” Sanders said. “I ran into (Toft) over coffee when he came to Hawai‘i as a visiting astronomer.” Sanders then learned that Toft had a unique data set. “I had a picture of galaxies go-ing through this formation phase, and what I learned was he had a possible collection of objects that

were the aftermath,” Sanders said. “So the excitement was to try to tie things together.” After the connection was developed, the idea of the project was initiated. “Sanders added the Spitzer data and wrote the Spitzer pro-posals, the team grew from that and so did the data,” Toft said. “The team now involves 100 to 200 active members.” According to Sanders, Toft’s data was of interest to him and his team because it was unique. “I was surprised when I learned he was working in an area close to my interest, and in particular he had data that we haven’t seen before,” Sanders said. “Further-more, we didn’t believe that data was obtainable because the signal would have been too weak.” The team’s success is signifi cant not only because the galaxies were determined to be compact, but also because Toft was able to determine

the stars’ age via spectra informa-tion, according to Sanders. “Because of the fi nite speed of light, when you are looking at something from far away, the light from those galaxies was from a long time ago,” Toft said. “Effectively we are looking back in time. Their emission is red-shifted because of the expansion of the universe. This redshift can be measured so the distance of how far they (are) and their age can be determined.” A majority of the galaxies that the team focused on were galaxies that fi nished forming their stars within two to three billion years ago. Their size contradicted their age, and thus the inquiry devel-oped for the project. “We are solving a 10-year-old mystery that explains to us how these galaxies in the universe that are not supposed to be there exist,” Toft said. “And now we have accomplished that.”

Aloha students,Can you believe it is already February? The semester is speeding ahead, with so much

going on in the life of the average UHM student here on our campus. Since we are in the Spring semester of the academic year, it is also the start of the 2014 Legislative Session in our state. Several of our ASUH senators were able to congratulate our elected offi cials during the Opening Day last month, and we are continuing to do what we can to serve you at that level of government.

An initiative we have this semester is to get more students involved in the legislative process, and to participate civically in issues that affect them within and outside of the university. We held a Public Access Room (PAR) Workshop last month to engage students in ways they can participate and play an active role in their government. As your undergraduate student senate, our doors are always open to ensure your voice is heard and that you have the ability to advocate for what you want as a student.

With the legislative session moving forward, let us know what matters to you in your time at our Mānoa campus – our state legislators are here to empower us and help in making a difference, and you can play a role in the future of student life now and into the future.

As always, let us know how we can better serve you. Contact us at our offi ce to learn more about our initiatives and what we’re up to!

Sincerely,Richard Mizusawa

President, ASUH101st Senate

1. AFTERNOON TEA AT THE MOANA SURFRIDER Set on the veranda surrounding a giant banyan tree with the view of Waikīkī Beach spread out before you, afternoon tea at The Veranda at the Moana Surfrider hotel is breathtaking and whimsical. Their afternoon tea menu comes in designated tea sets served with your choice of fragrant tea, a selection of finger sand-wiches and a tier of desserts consisting of scones, petit fours and macaroons. Their most expensive set even comes with a sandalwood fan and sparkling wine. If you are still hungry after all of that, you can also or-der additional salads and appetizers from the regular lunch menu. English-style afternoon tea happens year-round at the Moana Surfrider, but would be especially romantic on Valentine’s Day.

Unique Valentine’s

2. PICNIC AT SPALDING HOUSE A hidden treasure lies in Makiki Heights. Formally known as The Contemporary Museum, the Spalding House accommodates an art gallery and a cafe. With indoor and outdoor seating, their cafe serves a contem-porary menu of Mediterranean-inspired foods, includ-ing sandwiches, salads, soups, wraps and desserts. For a $5 corkage fee, you can also bring your own alcoholic beverages. You can make reservations to have a picnic lunch on their beautiful sculpture-fi lled grounds com-plete with a picnic basket and a tatami mat to sit on. It ’s as simple as making a phone reservation, picking up your picnic basket from the cafe, then returning the basket and mat at the front desk. And don’t forget about their art gallery. Whether it ’s contemporary paintings, sculptures or visual media, the Spalding House is always featuring fascinating contemporary artists.

3. WHOLE FOODS: SPECIALTY FOODS DINNER As debt-laden students, we cannot afford to buy the specialty foods that are year-round at Whole Foods. In-stead, we stare longingly at the fresh, locally caught fi sh at the seafood counter and the imported specialties at the cheese counter. Why not take this opportunity to splurge and create a romantic meal with your sig-nifi cant other? Creating your own dinner at home with specialty items from Whole Foods will be signifi cantly cheaper than eating out, and the food will also be of better quality. Even if cooking is not your thing, there are plenty of meals you can create that don’t require a lot of cooking. Whole Foods also has a large selec-tion of prepared foods (with simple directions on how to cook them) like Dungeness crab cakes, Italian pork stuffed mushrooms and garlic herb beef kabobs. The dinner possibilities are endless and can fi t any taste.

Starting this semester, Ka Leo’s Opinions Desk will include an ASUH beat section to report on all the happenings with the Associated Students of the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa. The purpose of the ASUH beat is to inform the campus and facilitate stu-dent involvement in what is taking place on campus. On Jan. 13, ASUH committee members along with UH students rallied at the state capitol to sup-port Gov. Neil Abercrombie’s approval for a $14 mil-lion salary restoration and $19.5 million salary in-crease for the UH Professional Assembly. Keep checking Ka Leo for future updates about ASUH and its public meetings. Students are always welcome to testify on the topics ASUH may be voting on at a given meeting. If you would like to attend the next ASUH meeting, see the list below.

Opinions Editor

Upon several deaths of whale trainers at SeaWorld and other parks, CNN’s “Blackfi sh” exposed shocking truths and has shaken millions around the world. The documentary “Blackfi sh” was released last year, and increasingly, people have been coming out against SeaWorld and similar amusement parks that hold wild ani-mals captive for entertainment.

THE TRUTH BEHIND SHAMU In the documentary, the story of Shamu, the beloved Sea-World whale, is revealed; viewers have been horrifi ed at the cruelty and motives behind this seemingly innocent industry. Many of us have seen these so-called “killer whales” in places like SeaWorld and blindly enjoyed their perfor-mances, but the implications behind holding these crea-tures captive are becoming more apparent. According to ABC News, all attacks on humans by orca whales are perpetrated solely by whales held in captivity. This should be no surprise, as orcas are naturally inclined to swim up to 100 miles a day and are incredibly social beings; orca whales in captivivity are restricted to small pools and little to no interaction with other whales.

DEMANDING JUSTICE FOR SHAMU

Phys.org reports that scientists have found orcas to proportion-ally have the second largest brains of any animal in the ocean; they are also, along with humans, the most cultural species in the world. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration claims orcas are highly social animals with complex communication and emo-tions. This creates the inevitable stress and incredible frustration felt by orca whales in captivity who cannot live and move as they are naturally inclined to.

Even worse, SeaWorld employees tell visitors during tours that the dramatically curved fi ns of orca whales and their life expectancy in captivity are a natural occurence. NOAA reports that an orca’s lifespan is typically between 30-50 years but can live up to 90 years. Shockingly, orcas in captiv-ity often don’t live past 10 years and almost always have curved fins, an extremely rare occurence in wild orcas.

ANIMALS FOR ENTERTAINMENT? The days of humans indulging in enter-tainment from animals held in captivity aredestined to end. With f ilms like “Blackf ish” and “Earthlings” exposing the incredibly cruel and senseless treatment toward wild animals, people are starting to see through the prof it-driven motives of these industries and refusing to participate in or support them. Almost all animals held in captivity were eitherkidnapped from the wild or bred from a kidnapped animal. For these whales, dolphins and other be-ings, the lives that follow lack freedom and are full of frustration from the inability to follow their natural instincts. Even Sea Life Park in Waimanalo faces a dim fu-ture. The park has been cited consistently for failureto provide veterinary care to its marine mammals. Between 2003-04, Sea Life Park received four cita-tions by federal agencies, a rare occurrence for any park nationwide. “By the fi fth visit (of federal inspectors), Lau-kani, the park’s pregnant 24-year-old dolphin, had died after three days of labor with no medical care, federal records say. Her calf was dead, too,” accord-ing to the Orlando Sentinel.

EMPTY THE TANKS Orca whales, dolphins and a myriad of other animals suffer every day at the hands of humans in the name of entertainment and profi t. They must perform and breed at the demands of humans and in the case of marine mammals, are stuck in re-stricted pools rather than open oceans. As humans, we have the unique ability to be rational and compassionate, and we must harness those basic instincts to prevent any more suffering and exploitation of other species. The media behind the various deaths of Sea-World trainers may sensationalize the violence of “killer whales,” but there is a much deeper problem we must all recognize – orca whales and other ani-mals can feel pain, sadness, stress and anger. The veil behind the animal entertainment in-dustry is being lifted, and it is up to each and ev-ery one of us to wake up, speak out and reject any amusement park or company that reaps profi t from the perpetual control of other species.
