Board Approves Plan to Decommission Mauna Kea Telescope in TMT Agreement

/ HILO, Hawaii The Maunakea Management Board this week approved a plan for decommissioning a telescope atop Hawaii s tallest peak. The Caltech Submillimeter Observatory is the first of five summit observatories scheduled to be decommissioned in exchange for the planned construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope at Mauna Kea. It ceased operations in 2015. Jim Hayes, president of Honolulu consultancy firm Planning Solutions, Inc., presented a preliminary environmental assessment and conservation district use application for the decommissioning process to the board on Monday, the Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported. The plan calls for restoring the site to pre-development conditions at a cost of a little over $4 million. It could be completed by the end of 2022.

Hawaii s Icon Larry Kimura

Hawaii’s Icon Larry Kimura Yachting 9 hrs ago Kristin Baird Rattini © Provided by Yachting Larry Kimura has dedicated his life to preserving and promoting the Hawaiian language. Larry kimura is known as the “grandfather of the Hawaiian language,” an honorific that, at 74, he supposes he’s the right age for. But he has no intention of retiring from promoting and advancing the study and appreciation of the Hawaiian language. “There’s still so much to do,” says Kimura, an associate professor of Hawaiian language and studies at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. In 1972 when it was still technically illegal to speak Hawaiian in public schools Kimura launched Ka Leo Hawaii, a Hawaiian-language radio show in Honolulu. Over 16 years, he recorded more than 550 hours of interviews with every native speaker he could find. He’s now digitizing the files for future generations to hear.
