*Glenn Paige was a colossal figure in influencing the peace movement in Hawai'i and around the world. His memorial celebration is on Saturday at the Buddhist temple in Palolo Valley.
**********
Memorial Tribute
It is with a heavy heart yet profound optimism to learn of the passing of Professor Glenn Paige. As a former student and good friend, I am deeply indebted to his inspiration and unwavering support for many years. Paige was a kind and compassionate man who gave freely of his time and energy. He always left you with an encouraging word, and a big smile whenever meeting. His positivity was contagious and something that will live on in the hearts and minds of those who knew him well.
To dare and to think the unthinkable may define the professional life and legacy of Professor Paige. He was a man of firm conviction and a giant when it came to not accepting the mundane and repute of political science. He dared to go far beyond the walls of academia to bridge the gap between learning and the real possibility of a more peaceful world. The concept of a viable nonkilling political science and global society was so novel that skepticism was inevitably bound. But to dream is to envision reality, even if that reality may be in the somewhat distant future. Professor Paige’s growing international influence is evidenced by the many institutions and scholars who have taken up his work, and its translation into over thirty languages and counting. This is for all to see. His unique vision is thus far withstanding the test of time. He will forever be remembered.

Mitigation money for the Pueo survey will come partially from wind farm operators which
are known to also kill Hawaiian bats.
Committee Chair Rhoads recommended the survey include members of the community,
community concern and specific knowledge of Pueo sightings, foraging and habitation. It
was noted that the Pueo is the mascot of the UH West Oahu in the same area. Various land
owners would be notified - City, State, Federal and private for Pueo survey cooperation.
The initial area of study in the first six months of the Pueo survey would be in the Honouliuli
Ewa Plain area where Pueo habitat is most immediately threatened. Areas would include
the gulches of the Waianae mountain foothills down through Ewa farmlands, communities
as well as State and Federal lands in Kalaeloa. Honouliuli Ewa Navy Region lands also.
One possible area mentioned for Pueo Habitat Conservation could include the location of the
Abutilon menzies (Red Ilima) along Kualaka'i Parkway (North South Road) where Pueo have
Abutilon menzies (Red Ilima) along Kualaka'i Parkway (North South Road) where Pueo have
been seen for years flying back and forth foraging and "loafing" in scrub trees. Pueo tend to
prefer quieter scrubby gully and gulch areas out of the wind for resting and also places where
water collects which also attracts rat and mouse prey.

DLNR:
Senate Concurrent Resolution 31/Senate Resolution 6 urge the Department of Land and Natural
Resources (Department) to conduct an extensive statewide pueo habitat inventory in
collaboration with the University of Hawaii (UH), nonprofit environmental organizations, and
other stakeholders and submit reports to the Legislature, including any proposed legislation.
The Department offers the following comments.
The Department recognizes the need for a state-wide habitat inventory for the pueo and is
working on these efforts as funding and partnerships develop. Specifically, the Department has
received funds from two wind farms owned by SunEdison, LLC: Kaheawa Wind Power II on
Maui, and Kahuku Wind Power on O‘ahu, to mitigate the impacts to pueo associated with these
wind farms.
The Department, in collaboration with UH, is working on a project to develop standardized survey
tools for use in evaluating population size, distribution, and habitat use of the pueo on the island
of O‘ahu, where this species is listed as endangered by the State. The Department expects this
study to begin in April, pending final approval and processing of the biologist selected for the project.
The results of this study will have state-wide implications on assessing pueo populations for each
island.
Furthermore, a partnership between the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the Department’s
Division of Forestry and Wildlife Maui Nui Seabird Recovery Project (administered through the UH
Pacific Cooperative Studies Unit), the Kaho‘olawe Island Reserve Commission, and the United
States Department of Agriculture/Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service/Wildlife Services has
initiated a pilot/feasibility study to test capture and marking techniques of pueo on multiple islands
including Hawai‘i, Maui, Kaho‘olawe, and O‘ahu.
The results of this study are expected to enhance capture and marking techniques for
pueo that will lead to further research on the distribution and abundance of the species, and
identify limiting factors and management needs of the species.
The Department notes that extensive state-wide pueo-specific inventories, and the analysis of
data from field surveys and research, would be both time and cost intensive, and would not be
feasible prior to the 2018 Regular Legislative Session as described in these measures. The
Department could report on the findings of the current research contract, which will be ongoing
by then.

This is a huge win, for all the effort in our community to support this. Thanks to all who have somehow
contributed to this effort (including the field work – and field trips). Almost there.

An archaeological approach to the multisensory
aspects of Hawaiian heiau
Dr. Jesse W. Stephen, Archaeologist,
Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency
THURSDAY, March 9, 3:00pm, Crawford Hall 115
How do buildings impact people, and in turn become potential instruments of power? This paper explores the role of monumental architecture in traditional Hawaiian society prior to AD 1819 by considering the luakini heiau known as Puʻukoholā on the Big Island of Hawai'i, built during Kamehameha I's rise to power. Stemming from a series of archaeological studies conducted within and around the heiau, aspects of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell are filtered through theoretical, ethnohistoric, and cultural lenses to reaffirm the multisensory and multifaceted significance of place. Implications of the research include how archaeological stewardship, historic preservation, cultural practice, and development are carried out in the Hawaiian Islands and beyond, and offer a fresh perspective on how chiefly power and authority may be established and maintained.
Jesse W. Stephen is an archaeologist at the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), based in Honolulu. Dr. Stephen's research interests lie at the intersection of archaeology and photography. He has worked broadly across academic, commercial, creative, and government settings, resulting in a range of technical reports, articles, and exhibitions. Dr. Stephen received his PhD in Anthropology from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa in 2016, holds a BA (Anthropology) and BS (Photography) from Northern Arizona University, and has also studied at universities in the United Kingdom (Oxford) and Australia (James Cook).
