Dr. Jerry Lam responds in Star Advertiser

Save Mānoa Valley's response in the Star Advertiser to the Island Voices column last week. (Note that this was reduced by editors to fit the word limit - the intention of the opening paragraphs is that while Hawaiian practices are generally a proper use of the property, it is the scale and commercial nature of the proposed new venture - something akin to a Polynesian Cultural Center in Mānoa - on conservation lands without an environmental assessment that is opposed.) 

The BLNR is likely to make a determination on whether to grant a contested case to Paradise Parks' developers on Friday, September 23. Please mark your calendars.
