NATIONAL SUMMARY:
As heat and humidity build in much of the East today, locally
drenching storms will affect the South. Showers and thunderstorms are forecast to
extend from the central Rockies to the central Plains, where flooding is a concern. The
storms can also bring locally damaging winds and hail. Much of the balance of the West
will be dry.
TMT issues trespass notices,
verbally warns protesters
Heritage center proposed for former Bond library
A leader in the fight to stop
the Thirty Meter Telescope
from being built atop Mauna
Kea was served with a tres-
pass notice Monday by secu-
rity guards stationed at the
construction site.
Kahookahi Kanuha said
he and several other pro-
testers, some of which are
Native Hawaiians who call
themselves protectors of
the mountain they consider
sacred, make routine trips, at
least once a week, from their
camp outside the Mauna Kea
Visitor Information Station
to the TMT project site near
the summit to pule and
chant.
“As native tenants of these
lands, as hoaaina, we have
rights to them,” he said. “We
go up there for religious pur-
poses, to pray, so that all of
this hewa, all of this wrong-
doing, that is being commit-
ted upon the mountain can
hopefully be washed clean.”
The trespass notice from
Private Security Group Inc.,
the company contracted by
TMT, is dated at 12:04 p.m.
and reads: “You are hereby
informed that your presence
is no longer desired upon the
property known as the Thirty
Meter Telescope (TMT) con-
struction site which has been
defined by a marked wire
fence with ‘No Trespassing’
signs posted along its
perimeter.”
If Kanuha returns to the
site within one year, he may
be subject to arrest and pros-
ecuted for trespass, accord-
ing to the notice.
Charles Long, president
and CEO of Private Security
Group, declined to comment
and suggested the newspaper
contact TMT.
TMT spokesman Gordon
Squires said in a statement
that while two trespassing
notices were issued Monday,
the observatory has been
verbally warning trespassers
and attempting to serve writ-
ten notices for quite some
time.
“It is often challenging for
our security personnel to get
to the trespassers to deliver
the notices before they with-
draw from the site,” he said.
“To ensure the health and
safety of all visitors to the
TMT site, we will continue to
issue trespassing notices as
appropriate.”
Despite his written warn-
ing, Kanuha said he has every
intention of returning.
“We don’t cause any harm
to anything,” he said. “We
simply go there to pray, and
then we leave.”
On Tuesday, Kanuha post-
ed a photo on his Facebook
page showing his own notice
of trespass that informs its
future recipient their pres-
ence “is not, and never has
been, desired upon” Mauna
Kea.
Stamped with the Coat
of Arms of the Kingdom of
Hawaii, the notice states
that the Hawaiian Kingdom
is currently under an illegal
and prolonged occupation
by the United States, and
therefore the general lease of
the land to the University of
Hawaii and sublease to TMT
are “null and void.”
“If they harass me again, I
will serve my notice,” Kanuha
said.
Construction of the $1.4
billion TMT has been at a
standstill since late-March,
when protesters began block-
ing construction workers
from making their way to the
summit. On April 2, 31 pro-
testers were arrested.

In a state rich in history,
North Kohala — the birth-
place of King Kamehameha —
plays no small role in forging
Hawaii’s past.
But this scenic and wind-
swept corner of Hawaii Island
still lacks a place to tell its
story, and a small group of
volunteers is hoping to change
that.
On Friday, a day after the
state celebrates Kamehameha
Day, the state Board of Land
and Natural Resources will
consider supporting their
effort to turn the former library
in Kapaau into a Kohala heri-
tage center.
The board’s action is needed
to cancel a governor’s order
requiring the land to revert to
the heirs of the previous own-
ers once it stops being used as a
library and lease the land to the
group. Caroline Bond donated
the land to the Territory of
Hawaii for the building’s con-
struction in 1928.
The library closed in 2010
following the completion
of the North Kohala Public
Library.
It wasn’t clear if any of
Bond’s heirs have an interest
in the property.
Sharon Hayden of the volun-
teer group Kaapaapaa said the
building located across from
the town’s Kamehameha stat-
ue, would be a perfect place to
display the area’s history.
“Our general notion is that
we want it to be like other plac-
es that have community muse-
ums where all levels of age
groups get involved,” Hayden
said. She said it also could be a
repository for historical items
from local families.
For now, Hayden said the
group of about five active vol-
unteers doesn’t have a timeline
for when they hope to com-
plete their project.
But she thinks the effort
will be worthwhile even if they
simply succeed in saving the
site.
“It’s one of the 10 most
endangered buildings” in
Hawaii, Hayden said.
“If it ends up in another pur-
pose, then godspeed.”
