Hawaiian Islands Wilderness Proposal Public Hearing Statement by John D
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS WILDERNESS PROPOSAL PUBLIC HEARING STATEMENT BY JOHN D. FINDLAY BUREAU OF SPORT FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE REPRESENTATIVE Aloha Ladies and Gentlemen: I am John D. Findlay, Regional Director, Region 1, of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife. Our Regional Office is in Portland, Oregon, It is with a great deal of pleasure that I welcome you to this hearing on a wilderness proposal of the islands of the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge. The Wilderness Act of 1964 directed the Secretary of the Interior to review all roadless areas of 5,000 acres or more and every roadless island within the National Wildlife Refuge System to determine their suitability or non-suitability as wilderness. Further, regulations of the Secretary of the Interior published on February 22, 1966, require this Bureau to review those areas qualifying for study under the Wilderness Act that are: (1) reasonably compact; (2) undeveloped; (3) possessing general characteristics of wilderness; and (4) without improved roads suitable for public travel by conventional automobile. The National Wildlife Refuge System consists of over 330 units containing nearly 30 million acres. Units of the system are found on lands reaching from the shores of the Arctic Ocean to Puerto Rico and from Maine to the islands of Hawaii here in the Central Pacific. There are one or more national wildlife refuges in every one of the 17 major life zones of North America. Therefore, the ecology of each national wildlife refuge differs—at least to some degree—from that of any other refuge. Because of these differences, management objectives of individual refuges are often quite different. -

A Bill for an Act
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TWENTY-FOU RTH LEGISLATURE, 2007 STATE OF HAWAII A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TARO. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII: SECTION 1. Kalo (colocasia esculenta), the Hawaiian word for taro, is a culturally significant plant to the kanaka maoli, Hawaii's indigenous peoples. According to the kumulipo, the Hawaiian creation chant, kalo grew from the first-born son of Wakea, the sky father, and Papa, the earth mother, through Wakea's relationship with his and Papa's daughter, Hoohokulani. This son, named Haloa, was stillborn and buried. From Haloa's grave grew the first kalo plant. Wakea and Hoohokulani named their second son Haloa, after his older brother. From the second Haloa came the genesis of man. Kalo provides the kanaka maoli's life-giving sustenance, poi, and is seen as the older brother of mankind. Over three hundred kalo varieties may have existed at the time of the arrival of European explorers. Today there are approximately seventy varieties of taro and of these, the majority are unique to the Hawaiian islands due to the horticultural skills of native Hawaiian farmers. HB659 HDI HMS 2007-1969 llllllllllllllll1lllllllll1llllllllll1lllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIlIllIllIllllIIlllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllIll Page 2 The important cultural relationship between kalo and the kanaka maoli continues today in the cultivation of kalo and ohana, the Hawaiian word for family. The cut stalk of the kalo, called the huli, is planted to become the next generation. Huli means to turn or turnover. When "ohana" is broken into root words, "oha" is the smaller taro corms growing from the older part of the taro plant that is used to feed one's family and "ana" is a conjunctive word connoting regeneration or procreation. -
Breeding Biology of the Brown Noddy on Tern Island, Hawaii
Wilson Bull., 108(2), 1996, pp. 317-334 BREEDING BIOLOGY OF THE BROWN NODDY ON TERN ISLAND, HAWAII JENNIFER L. MEGYESI’ AND CURTICE R. GRIFFINS ABSTRACT.-we observed Brown Noddy (Anous stolidus pileatus) breeding phenology and population trends on Tern Island, French Frigate Shoals, Hawaii, from 1982 to 1992. Peaks of laying ranged from the first week in January to the first week in November; however, most laying occurred between March and September each year. Incubation length was 34.8 days (N = 19, SD = 0.6, range = 29-37 days). There were no differences in breeding pairs between the measurements of the first egg laid and successive eggs laid within a season. The proportion of light- and dark-colored chicks was 26% and 74%, respectively (N = 221) and differed from other Brown Noddy colonies studied in Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The length of time between clutches depended on whether the previous outcome was a failed clutch or a successfully fledged chick. Hatching, fledging, and reproductive success were significantly different between years. The subspecies (A. s. pihtus) differs in many aspects of its breeding biology from other colonies in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, in regard to year-round occurrence at the colony, frequent renesting attempts, large egg size, proportion of light and dark colored chicks, and low reproductive success caused by in- clement weather and predation by Great Frigatebirds (Fregata minor). Received 31 Mar., 1995, accepted 5 Dec. 1995. The Brown Noddy (Anous stolidus) is the largest and most widely distributed of the tropical and subtropical tern species (Cramp 1985). -

Werewere Liking, Sony Labou Tansi, and Tchicaya U Tam'si
WEREWERE LIKING, SONY LABOU TANSI, AND TCHICAYA U TAM’SI: PIONEERS OF “NEW THEATER” IN FRANCOPHONE AFRICA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Salome Wekisa Fouts, B.A., M.A ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor John-Conteh-Morgan, Adviser _________________________________ Professor Karlis Racevskis, Adviser _________________________________ Advisers Professor Jennifer Willging Department of French and Italian Copyright by Salome Wekisa Fouts 2004 ABSTRACT This dissertation is an analysis of “new African theater” as illustrated in the works of three francophone African writers: the late Congolese Sony Labou Tansi (formerly known as Marcel Ntsony), the late Congolese Félix Tchicaya, who wrote under the pseudonym Tchicaya U Tam’si, and the Cameroonian Werewere Liking. The dissertation examines plays by these authors and illustrates how the plays clearly stand apart from mainstream modern French-language African theater. The introduction, in Chapter 1 provides an explanation of the meaning that has been assigned to the term “new African theater.” It presents an overview of the various innovative structural and linguistic techniques new theater playwrights use that render their work avant-garde. The chapter also studies how new theater playwrights differ from mainstream ones, especially in the way they address and present their concerns regarding the themes of oppression, rebellion, and the outcome of rebellion. The information provided in this chapter serves as a springboard to the primary focus of the dissertation, which is a detailed theoretical and textual analysis of experimental strategies used by the three playwrights in the areas of theme, form, and language.
