Late Written Testimony & Comment 8/1/2019 University of Hawaii Mail - Testimony in support of OMKM LATE TESTIMONY BOR Testimony <[email protected]> Testimony in support of OMKM Amber Imai-Hong <[email protected]> Thu, Aug 1, 2019 at 10:36 AM To: [email protected] Aloha Board of Regents, I am writing in support of the Office of Mauna Kea Management (OMKM). I feel like over the past two decades, OMKM has been doing a good job of managing the Mauna. I am a UH Manoa Alumnus from the College of Engineering. I currently work on campus as a researcher with the Hawaii Space Flight Laboratory. I was born and raised in Hilo where my ohana still resides. I support your efforts and ask you to continue to make strides to carefully and respectfully manage the ecologic and cultural resources on our sacred Mauna Kea, as a Native Hawaiian.

The TMT is an excellent project. It is culturally compatible. Many native hawaiians have stuck their necks out to support the TMT and are now receiving threats and intimidation from the protesters. Please do not abandon us to that fate by backtracking just because the Rock showed up to promote his movie. Dont abandon the future of my children and all the keiki of Hawaii who want to study the stars by giving into the lawlessness of the protesters. Please stay strong and continue to push for what is right and what the Native Hawaiians actually want - which is to study the sky and the stars in all their glory and contribute to humanity’s great journey of knowledge and learning.

I support the Thirty Meter Telescope for the following reasons: 1. Equitable, Environmentally Conscious Science: TMT is a paradigm shift in how we carry out scientific research in Hawai'i. TMT was specifically designed and sited to be as minimally impactful to cultural and environmental resources as possible. The telescope itself is barely taller than Subaru or Gemini yet will be far more difficult to see due to its lower elevation. TMT is not located on any shrines/burials and will not impact longstanding cultural practices. TMT's construction requires the decommissioning of five older telescopes -- four of which are at higher elevation, on the summit -- leading to a net reduction in astronomy buildings on Maunakea. 2. Giving Back to the Community -- TMT has supported Hawaii's students through the Akamai Workforce Initiative and the THINK fund. I personally know students who have benefited from these opportunities: I do not want to see them taken away for other students. 3. Jobs -- TMT will result in 300 construction jobs over ~a decade providing a much needed jolt for the Big Island economy. About 140 permanent observatory staff will have jobs with TMT. While some critics claim all these jobs will be for outsiders, even the existing observatories (like Keck) are well staffed by locals. With TMT's educational initiatives they are helping train potential future employees for these observatory jobs. 4. The Process - TMT went through a lengthy and transparent legal process to get permits to build the telescope. This is in contrast to construction projects of the past which had the state cut corners and degrade trust (e.g. the SuperFerry). 5. The Science - TMT will provide the leading ground-based astronomy telescope in the northern hemisphere (perhaps the world) for the next 50+ years. Current observatories like Keck have discovered dark energy and revealed the first images of planets around other stars. TMT will peer back to the beginning of time and perhaps yield our first images of Earth-like planets around other stars. Astronomy is a source of pride in Hawai'i; these discoveries make Hawai'i the center for understanding key philosophical questions about humanity's place in the universe. 6. Building TMT is the will of the community -- The best scientific evidence we have (from scientific polls) suggests that about 70-80% of Hawaii residents support TMT and the majority of those who identify as Hawaiian also support TMT. In my personal experience, much of the opposition comes not from TMT itself but from misunderstandings about the project, past grievances about Maunakea management (which I believe has been improved), or larger issues for which TMT is a symbol (e.g. self-determination/sovereignty). These issues should be clearly separated from the building of the telescope itself. Maunakea Governance: In my own experience, as an astronomer by vocation and a frequent visitor to the summit of Maunakea since 2006. The past 12 years have provided me ample opportunities to witness OMKM’s ability to care for and manage Maunakea. I firmly believe that OMKM excels at the exceptionally difficult task of managing and protecting the natural and cultural resources of Maunakea, while providing an unrivaled center for scientific discovery through astronomical research and safe access to the summit for a wide range of visitors. I have found OMKM personnel to be highly professional and knowledgeable about the many facets of Maunakea that Hawai’i residents value. However, if revisiting Maunakea's governance can help partially resolve some of the current grievances highlighted by protests over TMT, then I am for it. Thank you for considering my testimony: Thayne Currie https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=149d04c7c3&view=pt&search=all&permmsgid=msg-f%3A1640699634670524151&simpl=msg-f%3A16406996346… 1/1 8/1/2019 University of Hawaii Mail - Continued support for TMT LATE TESTIMONY BOR Testimony <[email protected]> Continued support for TMT [email protected] <[email protected]> Thu, Aug 1, 2019 at 11:52 AM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Aloha I am Katherine Roseguo, an alumni of Roosevelt High School and UH Manoa, and a teacher in Haawai'i public school.

  • Sailing Course Materials Overview
    SAILING COURSE MATERIALS OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The NCSC has an unusual ownership arrangement -- almost unique in the USA. You sail a boat jointly owned by all members of the club. The club thus has an interest in how you sail. We don't want you to crack up our boats. The club is also concerned about your safety. We have a good reputation as competent, safe sailors. We don't want you to spoil that record. Before we started this training course we had many incidents. Some examples: Ran aground in New Jersey. Stuck in the mud. Another grounding; broke the tiller. Two boats collided under the bridge. One demasted. Boats often stalled in foul current, and had to be towed in. Since we started the course the number of incidents has been significantly reduced. SAILING COURSE ARRANGEMENT This is only an elementary course in sailing. There is much to learn. We give you enough so that you can sail safely near New Castle. Sailing instruction is also provided during the sailing season on Saturdays and Sundays without appointment and in the week by appointment. This instruction is done by skippers who have agreed to be available at these times to instruct any unkeyed member who desires instruction. CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE When you "check-out" we give you a key to the sail house, and you are then free to sail at any time. No reservation is needed. But you must know how to sail before you get that key. We start with a written examination, open book, that you take at home.

With small crews, it will most difficult and demanding become necessary for everyone to know and tasks you will have in working work all of the lines anywhere on the ship. In with this program. any event, particularly if watches are being set, it becomes imperative that everyone have a good understanding of all lines and maneuvers the ship may be asked to perform. Safety Sailing the brigantines safely is our primary goal and the Los Angeles Maritime Institute has an enviable safety record. We should stress, however, that these ships are NOT rides at Disneyland. These are large and powerful sailing vessels and you can be injured, or even killed, if proper procedures are not followed in a safe, orderly, and controlled fashion. As a crewmember you have as much responsibility for the safe running of these vessels as any member of the crew, including the ship’s officers. 1.

  • Geoprisms Aleutian Biography
    GeoPRISMS-Alaska Living Bibliography Terry Plank Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory Created July, 2020 (to be updated periodically) To Submit Updates, Contact: [email protected] Description of the Living Bibliography This bibliography was prepared as a synthesis product following the GeoPRISMS Alaska workshop at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory in August 5-6, 2019 on Subduction Cycles and Deformation at the Alaska-Aleutian margin. The link to workshop web page, including agenda and participant list, is here: [https://sites.google.com/view/alaska-workshop/home?authuser=0]. With a total of 45 participants (51% early career faculty, postdocs or students), there were representatives from all ~19 GeoPRISMS-AK funded projects (FY12-18). A post-conference survey in December 2019 requested information from attendees as to their relevant publications and proposals, including those in preparation and planned. This document is based on that input as well as some 2020 updates. The products listed here include formal GeoPRISMS project outputs, as well as those laterally related to PI group projects. Terry Plank (the workshop organizer and PI) initiated this project and did the initial document curation. She would be happy to pass the project onto another curator in the future. Publications are annotated so as to provide a short synopsis of the research scope, results and context within Alaska Subduction research. Four research themes, which are similar to those developed at the workshop, provide structure to the paper groupings within the Bibliography: 1) The Alaska-Aleutian Megathrust 2) Magmatic Volatiles at Arcs 3) Arc Formation and Continental Growth 4) Arc Volcano Systems Papers and proposals in press, in revision, in preparation and planned are also included to keep the community informed of upcoming and ongoing work.
