HAWAIʻI SUPREME COURT RULED TODAY TO ALLOW THE THIRTY METER TELESCOPE ON MAUNA KEA. The judges voted 4-1 to close years of litigation concerning the construction of the $1.4 billion telescope near the summit top of the volcano. The top of Mauna Kea is considered a sacred site to Hawaiians and Gov. David Ige promised to protect the rights of Hawaiian cultural and religious practitioners who go there.
The Hawaiʻi Island chapter of the Sierra Club opposed the ruling and stated the "decision to override the constitutional protections for native Hawaiian practitioners exercising their customary and traditional religious practices on land never ceded to the state ... is a failure of the rule of law."
Suzanne Case, chief of the state Department of Land & Natural Resources, said the agency will ensure adherence to a comprehensive management plan to include "control of invasive species in attention to cultural protocols and training."

Suzanne Case, chief of the state Department of Land & Natural Resources, said the agency will ensure adherence to a comprehensive management plan to include "control of invasive species in attention to cultural protocols and training."
The state Supreme Court considered the validity of the Conservation District Use Permit, issued by the sate Board of Land & Resources to University of Hawaiʻi-Hilo, which manages the mountain and a campus of telescopes operated by educational and research institutions from around the world.
Henry Yang, Chair of TMT International Observatory Board of Governors, said: "On behalf of the TMT International Observatory, we are grateful for the Hawaii State Supreme Court's ruling that will allow TMT to be built on Maunakea. We thank all of the community members who contributed their thoughtful views during this entire process. We remain committed to being good stewards on the mountain and inclusive of the Hawaiian community. We honor the culture of the islands and its people and do our part to contribute to its future through our ongoing support of education and Hawaii Islands' Hawaii and will continue to respect and follow state and county regulations, as we determine our next steps. We are deeply grateful to our many friends and supporters for their tremendous support over the years."

On Thursday, Sept. 28, the BLNR announced its decision to approve the permit. Opponents challenged the new permit before the Hawaiʻi State Supreme Court. Today's ruling affirms BLNR's decision to issue the CDUP.
The Court noted: "In this opinion, we address whether the BLNR properly applied the law in analyzing whether a permit should be issued for the TMT. Upon careful consideration of the written submissions, the applicable law, and the oral arguments, and for the reasons explained below, we now affirm the BLNR's decision authorizing issuance of a Conservation District Use Permit ("CDUP") for the Thirty Meter Telescope ("TMT")."
Opponents could ask the state Supreme Court for reconsideration or ask the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their case. Learn more at tmt.org.

Comments are due Dec. 11. The group decided to write views and suggestions and to meet again in two weeks, on Tuesday, Nov. 13, at 6:30 p.m., at Pāhala Community Center, before turning them into the county and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Sophia Hanoa led the meeting, assisted by Terri Napeahi, a Hilo clean water advocate and Vice President of Pele Defense Fund, led by Palekapu Deadman who also attended.
Several attendees said they don't understand the need to protect clean water resources from Pāhala's wastewater - that they don't understand how Pāhala's wastewater could reach the ocean as Pāhala is three miles inland with much ash, silt, and lava to filter wastewater before it reaches the shoreline. Deadman said there is a higher need for better sewage treatment in Hilo where, he said, the pipe releases incompletely treated sewage into the ocean only a quarter mile offshore. Attendees also mentioned Puako, where cesspool effluent is leaking into nearshore waters as being more of an emergency for a sewage treatment plant.

Concerns expressed by residents included fear that a plant on the gateway Norfolk pine lined road into Pāhala could be unsightly. "Welcome to Pāhala, welcome to our sewage treatment plant," said Hanoa, who proposed it be relocated to below the highway. The majority of those attending also said they preferre relocation to land below the highway. Hanoa and others also said they were concerned about possible burials and other archaeological sites on the proposed location and called for digging below ground. Hanoa also said the proposes site is prime agricultural land and that she also feared a flood could cause the treatment plant lagoons to overflow onto Maile Street and Hwy 11. Several residents described it as a flood area. The group decided to request an Environmental Impact Statement for the site.
The county, which maintains the old sewage system for houses hooked up to pipes on the old plantation gang cesspools, faces federal law banning gang cesspools. The Environmental Protection Agency is threatening the county with more than $30,000 a day in fines if it doesn't shut down the gang cesspools soon.

An alternative was put forth by a former teacher at Kaʻū High, who suggested that houses hooked up to the old gang cesspool system be allowed to put in compost toilets. Napeahi said that the state Department of Health might consider a pilot project of a community installing composts toilet as a test program in order to come up with rules and regulations for it. The program would have to also deal with the grey water - from showers, washing clothes and other activities.
The retired teacher said there are many skilled carpenters and tradesmen in the town who could help build and install the compost toilets. Clyde Lewis, a former plantation union leader in the mid 1990s during the sugar plantation shutdown, said the union and plantation agreed that owners of homes on the old plantation sewage system would receive $1,000 each to help them pay for cesspools.
Also questioned was $30 every two months charged to each household on the old system by the county to maintain the old pipes and gang cesspool until the new sewage plant is built. Eddie Andrade, who took care of the sewer system for the plantation, said that he doesn't see much being done. Those on the system have been paying for many years, said Gwen Sorenson.

"DONALD TRUMP IS NOT KING," Tweeted Sen. Mazie Hirono, in response to a comment from Pres. Donald Trump during an interview today, in which he said he can use his Executive Order to revoke birthright citizenship, the 14th Amendment of the U. S. Constitution, which allows anyone born in the U.S. to become a U.S. citizen.
"For @realDonaldTrump's information: 'All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,'" Tweeted Hirono. "The 14th Amendment confers U.S. citizenship to persons born in the United States . To incite his base, @realDonaldTrumpwants to change the Constitution by fiat. Ours is a country governed by rule of law and Donald Trump is not king."

Especially be sure to pay attention when crossing driveways.
Eye contact with drivers to ensure they see you, before crossing in front of them.
