Am not currently in court over Honouliuli but we have documented many issues in the Judicial Tribunal of the Kingdom of Hawaii affecting the 1849/1850 Treaty of the Kingdom of Hawaii and the United States of America, Article XIV....important note to Tom Berg et. als. - Amelia Gora

to me, Amelia, Princess, John
"Once these Barn Owls are extirpated from the entire Ewa Plain, hope for the return of the Pueo to same grounds becomes moot. In general terms, wherever you have Barn Owls, the potential for Pueo to utilize these same grounds are great. Removing the Barn Owls' habitat and covering it up in cement will further decimate the Pueo in the same swoop." T.B.
NEWS:
See videos pasted below-
Albeit the videos of late do not highlight the presence of Pueo @ UHWO, the videos themselves reveal
the natural conditions "as is" at UHWO to be that of possessing all the requisites necessary to cater to the Pueo within the Honouliuli Ahupua'a-
The environmental conditions and characteristics / natural features existing at UHWO----- are conducive to and most favorable toward the proliferation of Pueo -for everywhere you see a Barn Owl on this property, a Pueo at one time was also there too- and as such, the Pueo expects to return to this place.
Amelia Gora is fighting in the courts to get title back to these very lands - and her success could be, if justice prevails, benefit the Pueo and its return.
But the one question remains- why isn't the Princess Kawakanaka Foundation folks helping the Pueo? They raked in the cash at the expense of the Pueo by liquidating the home of the Pueo for self gain- or am I wrong?
The campus has a landmark tower featuring an illustration of the Pueo on the building facade and can be seen in the background of the actual Pueo in flight in the video-
Notice the Pueo is flying directly over the 300-acres of raw open fallow ag land that surrounds the 200-acre UHWO campus -
The 300-acres is to be developed for housing tracts and commercial enterprises approved and authorized by the UH Board of Regents-
SAD NEWS BUT TRUE
The Kapolei Makakilo Honokai Hale Neighborhood Board has refused to defend the Pueo @ UHWO directly, and as a Board, not one member has made the request to put on the agenda, the subject matter of protecting the Pueo and Pueo habitat at UHWO specifically.
Nesting there on the 300-acres has become too risky for the Pueo of late since some of the very grounds used to nest by the Pueo were plowed up and over last week without any resistance by and from the Kapolei Makakilo Honokai Hale Neighborhood Board.
I have asked repeatedly for the Kapolei Makakilo Honokai Hale Neighborhood Board to take heed and place the subject matter of Pueo Protection @ UHWO on their Board agenda.....no one will respond favorably and execute such. Evelyn Souza is the Chair. She refuses to put the agenda item- "Stopping Development @ UHWO to Save Pueo" on any agenda for discussion.
Unusual was- that the plow went "out if its way" to make a circle of a swath where a Pueo nest was presumed to exist and the plow turned up the soil for no apparent reason /for there are no crops grown there..... the field itself has been used for years as yielding grass. A rush to destroy Pueo grounds is taking shape right now at UHWO- and the Kapolei Makaklio Honokai Neighborhood Board doesn't give a hoot.
Another swath where the Pueo historically perched on wild brush was cut open too-
The footprint for the University of Hawaii West Oahu Campus is complete at just 200 acres - with an additional 3...
It would be greatly appreciated if the Kapolei Makakilo Honokai Hale Neighborhood Board changed its behavior and did something to protect the Pueo and its habitat @ UHWO.
Since they won't listen to me- will they listen to you? How about you try asking? Mahalo.

Aloha Tom,
I really appreciate your dedication, perseverance & diligence to our Pueo. You're right, we need to do something to malama i na Pueo before it's really too late - this is an aloha aina issue!!! Having the community discussion is necessary and the Neighborhood Board is not the only platform for it.
May I suggest reserving a room/cafeteria/park or somewhere in Kapolei for concerned citizens (island-wide) to strategize with you. I'll share in that expense as I hope others will too. Shoots, let's meet in the field where we can see & sense the disruption, destruction and extermination of the pueo and farming... Who's in?
a hui hou,
kapua
‘A‘ohe hana nui ke alu ‘ia.
No task is too big when done together by all.

Subject: Whose Worst League
It's hard (for me) to imagine any public figure living up to the
disgusting standard of the idiot-asshole currently in the White House
chief seat. Yet, it seems the Grand Old Party has more of those jokers
always ready at hand:
The Navy is seeking public comment on a proposal to spend $1.2 million to reduce potential exposure to chemicals at a Barbers Point landfill where asbestos and burned municipal waste were in trash dumped between 1942 and 1997. Surface soil contains antimony, lead and hydrocarbons that exceed state Department of Health action levels, the Navy said. The Navy is proposing to add cover material, put in place erosion control measures, add perimeter warning signs and conduct a review every five years at the industrial site in an old coral pit south of Runway 11 at Kalaeloa Airport.
The Barbers Point Sanitary Landfill is adjacent to the site of a 2003-04 operation to cleanse more than 44,500 cubic yards of soil contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) that were collected from 14 military installations around Oahu. A thermal treatment plant was brought in to bake the soil at 900 degrees to remove PCBs as sludge.
A coral pit used to generate fill and road-base material in the early 1940s was subsequently used for the landfill, the Navy said. “Bagged asbestos was reportedly disposed of at the site between 1976 and 1991,” the Navy said in a synopsis of the mitigation plan. “According to historic reports, municipal waste was burned and placed in the landfill, then covered with coralline soil from a nearby coral pit. A landfill cover of compacted gravel and sand was placed over the site prior to closure in 1997 as a final waste containment measure.”
A Navy review between 1994 and 1998 indicated that chemicals of potential concern were not present in concentrations that could pose a risk, but the report was reviewed in 2011 and found to have “data gaps” over the characterization of the surface soil, the Navy said.
Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, also known as Superfund, the Navy is responsible for the investigation and
cleanup of contamination resulting from its past operations.
The landfill, consisting of about 4.8 acres, no longer is in operation, but is part of the Navy’s Solid Waste Management Facility, which takes in green waste and sewage sludge.
The landfill cover was maintained as a vegetated surface until 2009, when heavy rain caused flooding and erosion of the cover, the Navy said. Compost material was spread across the surface, but charred wood and plastic started to become visible.
The $1.2 million mitigation plan is the Navy’s “preferred” alternative among several being considered. The most expensive would be the $42 million removal and disposal of soil and debris down to 10 feet.
Ewa Beach historian John Bond said he has concerns over the contamination remaining in the ground. Army Air Corps photos from 1928 show a karst sinkhole pond mauka of the landfill site, and “anything you put in the ground there is going to leach right down into the water table and into the ocean,” he said.
Bond said the Navy mitigation plan is new to him and other community members and that further review of the alternatives is needed. The state Department of Health in December said it concurred with the Navy’s preferred plan. Public comments will be accepted through Thursday.
The Navy said it will select a course of action for the site after reviewing the comments. Naval Facilities Engineering Command Hawaii can be emailed at denise.emsley@navy.mil. The command also can be reached at 471-7300.
