NASA Announces the Availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Outrigger Telescopes Project

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announces the availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Outrigger Telescopes Project. NASAʼs Proposed Action and preferred alternative is to fund the Outrigger Telescopes Project at the W.M. Keck Observatory within the Mauna Kea Science Reserve on the summit of Mauna Kea, island of Hawaiʻi. The FEIS addresses alternative sites and the environmental and cultural resource impacts that could potentially occur with on-site construction, installation, and operation of four, and possibly up to six, Outrigger Telescopes. The proposed Outrigger Telescopes would be strategically placed around the existing Keck I and Keck II Telescopes, within the current footprint of the W.M. Keck Observatory. A reasonable alternative site has been identiﬁed on La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain. Sites for a reduced science option have been identiﬁed at Mt. Wilson and Mt. Palomar in California.

NASA has sent a hard copy of the FEIS to each library within the Hawaiʻi State Public Library System and to Regional Libraries. Speciﬁc addresses for Hawaiʻi State and Regional Libraries can be found in the appropriate telephone directory and online at http://www.librarieshawaii.org/locations/index.htm.

The FEIS also may be reviewed at the following locations:

(a) NASA Headquarters, Library, Room 1J20, 300 E Street SW, Washington, D.C. 20546-0001; (b) Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Visitors Lobby, Building 249, 4800 Oak Grove Drive, Pasadena, CA 91109; and (c) Legislative Reference Bureau, Room 004, State Capitol, Honolulu, HI 96813.

Persons and organizations that were sent a copy of the Draft EIS or commented on that document will be sent a copy of the FEIS. A limited number of additional hard copies of the FEIS are available by contacting Dr. Carl B. Pilcher, Program Executive, Universe Division, Suite 3W39; NASA Headquarters; 300 E Street, SW; Washington, DC 20546-0001; telephone 877-283-1977 (toll-free), electronic mail [email protected], or facsimile 202-358-3096. The FEIS is also available in Acrobat® format at http://www2.keck.hawaii.edu/ (click on “News and Outreach”, then on “Outrigger Telescopes”).

NASA will not issue a Record of Decision (ROD) or take ﬁnal action on the proposed Outrigger Telescopes Project before March 21, 2005, or 30 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notice of availability of the FEIS for the Outrigger Telescopes Project, whichever is later.

The ROD will be sent to each of the libraries, governmental agencies, organizations, and persons who are being sent a copy of the FEIS. In addition, when issued, the ROD will be available in Acrobat® format at http://www2.keck.hawaii.edu/

08 March Story and photos by Manu Boyd

Editor’s note: OHA Public Information Director Manu Boyd is also the leader of the group Ho‘okena, which was one of the five nominees for the first-ever Grammy Award for Hawaiian music.

s reported in The Honolulu Advertiser in December, I was truly “stoked” when I heard we were nominated for a first-ever Grammy for Best AHawaiian Album. Cool Elevation, Ho‘okena’s eighth CD, released in October 2003, somehow made it through preliminary balloting and wound up ttingtting among the top five nominees. The Brothers Cazimero, also final nominees, have HiHi for 30 years changed the face of Hawaiian music and are the most prolific recording artists in Hawaiian music history. What an honor to share the ballot with them and all the others. By February, the Hawaiian Grammy hype was incredible. TV reporters, radio stations, newspapers and magazines thethe carpetcarpet were clamoring for quotes on how it felt to be a nominee. It felt pretty darn good. By the time we boarded the plane for L.A., Grammy talk A first-hand account of the was everywhere. Armed with suits, ties, leather jackets and strands of pua kenikeni Hawaiian contingent’s and pua kalaunu, we headed to Hollywood for a star-studded “surreal” Grammy adventures Robert Cazimero and crew savor the flavor. weekend that was just awesome. Top: the author and his Grammy date, Aulia Outrigger Hotels and the Hawai‘i Austin, enjoy their moment on the red carpet. Academy of Recording Artists hosted a two-hour reception for the Hawaiian album nominees that in true Hawaiian fashion lasted more than twice as long. The Cinegrill at the Roosevelt Hotel – a storied room of Hollywood insiders – was alive with aloha and nahenahe impromptu performances by Robert, Roland and ‘Ala; Amy Hänäiali‘i and Eric Gilliom; Jay Larrin; Jeff Peterson and Sonny Lim. Glen Smith and I did a couple of songs, with hula by Jackie Booth and Aulia Austin. What a party! But the party of parties would happen the following evening at the California Science Academy, with a soiree for all Grammy nominees. We were surrounded by talented performers and producers from around the country in a lavish reception overflowing with fine food and drink. Willie K was a standout, strumming an ‘ukulele so that, as he put it “people won’t think I’m Mexican.” The Hawaiians seemed to gravitate to each other, but everyone worked the room, spreading aloha among the hopeful crowd of nominees. A live brass band and a choral singing group added pizzazz to the gala. The day of the awards drew hundreds to the pre-telecast portion, where 96 awards were presented. Walking up the red carpet, we were decked out in lei and definitely turned a few heads. Upstairs, the L.A. Convention Center lobby was bustling with beautiful people – lots of them. People were drawn to us like magnets, mostly because of the various kinds of fragrant lei that everyone in the Hawaiian entourage wore. When the winner of the Hawaiian album category was announced – Slack Key Guitar, Vol. 2, a compilation album produced by Hawai‘i island resident Charles Michael Brotman – I must admit we were a bit shocked. Not that slack-key is undeserving of the nod, but a volume two of various artists of anything didn’t seem to stand out against the likes of such music legends Willie K plays media darling for a “Emme’s Island Moments” TV segment. as the Brothers Caz and Keali‘i Reichel. We had hoped that our ‘ölelo Hawai‘i would gain appreciation and recognition by the academy, but they instead selected an instrumental album. Be that as it may, hats off to Brotman and artists who performed on the album, including Sonny Lim, Ken Emerson, Jeff Peterson, John Cruz, Keoki Kahumoku and others. Later that afternoon, we headed next door to the Staples Center for the televised awards show surrounded by a constellation of musical stars, many of whom I had never heard of. But we sat and enjoyed one of the most well-produced shows I had ever seen. The live performances by Alicia Keys, “Ray” lead actor Jamie Foxx, Usher and Queen Latifa were awesome. With wilted lei and sore feet, we headed off to “after parties,” proud of the fact that we were able to represent our kuläiwi – ancestral homeland – in an international forum of music, talent and recording achievement. We laughed, partied, shopped, navigated freeways, sang and danced like never before – in Hollywood, baby! What a rush, how surreal! To all fellow nominees, and especially the kï hö‘alu crew, ho‘omaika‘i. We look forward to the 2006 Grammys where five potential albums of solid Hawaiian music will spark the attention of a largely unfamiliar audience, and hopefully gain the broad visibility it deserves. q

Malaki 09 IWI Huliau – a time of change ‘LastÖ month, the third edition of the Native 3 Hawaiian literary journal ‘Öiwi was released. The first edition to be published since the tragic death of ‘Öiwi founder Mähealani Dudoit, the theme of this issue is huliau — a time of change. On these pages, we offer a selection of excerpts from the issue.

New issue honors Aia nö ke ola i ka waha; aia nö ka make i ka waha founder’s spirit Malia Ann Crowningburg Käne

By Sterling Kini Wong he Hawaiian word huliau, which is rich in kaona, or hidden meaning, conveys Tthe sense of a change in time, whether it be seasonal, celestial, political or personal. So when Ku‘ualoha Ho‘omanawanui was searching through previous editions of ‘Öiwi: A Native Hawaiian Journal and came across the word in something written by ‘Öiwi’s founding editor, the late Mähealani Dudoit, she knew she had found the name for the journal’s third edition. “‘Öiwi was Mähealani’s baby; it wouldn’t exist with out her,” says Ho‘omanawanui, the journal’s chief editor. “When I found the name, it was like Mähealani was speaking to me.” The latest issue of ‘Öiwi, a literary journal of art and writings by Hawaiians, honors the life and work of Dudoit, whose tragic death in August 2002 occurred just before the release of the journal’s second edition. “She was such an unassuming person, and I know she would be embarrassed by all of this,” says Ho‘omanawanui. “But this is not for her, it’s for us to remember her.” Dudoit’s passing, however, is not the only change to which the new journal’s title refers. Since the first ‘Öiwi was released in early 1999, it has been used as a vehicle to stimulate a shift in the way Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians alike view Hawaiian literature. Ho‘omanawanui says that people don’t value Hawaiian literature as much as the more traditional Hawaiian forms of expression, such as hula, music and chant. “Hawaiian literature is thought of as a secondary type of medium – the colonizer’s medium,” she says. “Many Hawaiians buy into the stereotype that Hawaiians can’t write. But we learned early on how to write and embraced it – think of all the Hawaiian-language newspapers and He Kanikau no Mähealani the petitions they signed. ‘Öiwi is for us to A lament for D. Mähealani Dudoit document who we are and what he are doing Noelani Arista, Mähealani Wong, Leslie Keli‘ilauahi Stewart and Ku‘ualoha Ho‘omanawanui at this point in time for future generations.” The latest journal, like the previous two, contains artwork, poems, short stories and ‘Auhea ‘oe e Mähealani Where are you oh Mähealani academic essays, including pieces in both Ku‘u hoa o ka ua Tuahine My companion of the Tuahine rain Hawaiian and English. The 82 artists and writers who contributed to ‘Öiwi 3 – most He päkü ua, he ua wahine A curtain of rain, a womanly rain of whom had never been published before E ho‘opulu nei i ka ‘äina That dampens the earth – provide a very personal perspective on Aia a‘e ‘oe i ka pae ‘öpua You are in the ‘öpua clouds a wide range of subject matter pertinent I ka wehi polikua a‘o uka In the dark, lushness of the uplands to Hawaiians. “Every voice is represented,” Hu‘ea mai ke aloha me ka waimaka Love rises up and spills over in tears Ho‘omanawanui says. “We don’t just print Uë mäkou ua hele ‘oe We cry for you have gone things that reflect our own thoughts; there I ke ala hi‘ikua ho‘i ‘ole mai On the distant path of no return are some controversial pieces in there, but we ‘Auhea ‘oe e Mähealani Where are you Mähealani believe it’s important to bring these things to Manu mükïkï i ke kini pua Bird that sipped of many flowers the forefront for discussion.” A ‘ano‘ano mai ai ka nahele Pollinating the uplands Domestic violence is an especially sensitive Mähealani Dudoit I laha pono ai ka ulu lä‘au That groves may someday flourish topic touched on in the issue by some of Dudoit’s close friends who wrote about what Ku’u hoa ‘a‘e ‘ale o ka moana My friend who tread the billows of the seas they saw her going through.
