PATY AND THE U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS!\\n\\nIN 1970, SAND ISLAND PARK was one of Hawaii's biggest-ever environmental victories. The Park was conceived, fought for and won by Kalihi -- Palama grass roots teens-in-action with broad public support (see photos inside).\\n\\nTODAY, as you read this, the once beautiful ocean frontier of Sand Island Park with its popular surfing, fishing and half mile of unique protected tidal pools is being mangled, polluted, bloodied, raped and destroyed! Visit and see for yourself!\\n\\nBy whom? By order of Hawaii's two highest State officials: Gov. John Waihee and his conniving aide and money-manager William Paty. Both are allied with Lt. Col. Donald Wynn, head of the Honolulu District, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (COE). Wynn is a new outsider, a brass button for desk-bound COE bureaucrats. The COE is infamous here and nationally for its high military command structure and low intelligence  --  an evil and dangerous combination anywhere! It has a long record of disastrous and costly design failures. Sand Island Park's shoreline destruction is the most recent. Read on...\\n\\nSand Island's ocean tidal pools were very popular with landlocked families from West Honolulu. Photo taken Labor Day, 9-1-90.\\nPrepared and distributed by the Education Committee of Save Our Surf. For further information and to offer help, call SOS hotline at 735-0547.\\n_________________________________________________________________\\nA total of 5,000 wave riders showed their power in two capital SOS demos March '70 and '71, both the largest ever held there. National press described SOS \"...as the swingingest and surely one of the most effective environmental groups in the whole country.\"\\n\\nThis is the official model for the Aloha the Honolulu Waterfront Master Plan, taxi's to Sand Island Park! State off any connection between this Plan and OF COURSE! But not the usual tourism found in Waikiki's Jungle.\\n\\nIt's for super-luxury cruise ships, the big new glitzy floating hotels of global tourism now nesting frequently in Honolulu Harbor.\\nTo cover up their plans, the highest State officials and commanding officers of the Army Corps of Engineers lied openly to the public.\\n\\nFirst, some key facts and background:\\nIn the 1960's, a gang of Hawaii's biggest contractors put together a scheme to dredge and fill hundreds of acres of offshore reefs makai of Sand Island for industrial profits.\\n\\nBy January 1968, they finalized their 'Sand island Development Plan.\"* It called for dredging and filling 280 acres of surfing and fishing reefs seaward of Sand Island at a public cost of $21.4 million. It also provided for an elevated freeway from the airport over Sand Island arid through a tunnel under Honolulu Harbor to downtown Honolulu. Total '68 cost: a third of a billion taxpayers' bucks!\\n\\nBut they hadn't figured on Save Our Surf and its allies. Here was SOS's schedule:\\nDecember 1969: SOS learned of the corporate plans to ripoff public domain lands.\\n\\nJanuary 17, 1970: Teenage SOS wave riders from Kalihi Palama held a rally on Sand Island. They demanded a 250-acre people's park on Sand Island for the quarter million population of working people land-locked in the Kalihi-Palama- to-Waipahu area with no access to the sea.\\n\\n*The plan was a continuation of earlier colonial evictions of Native Hawaiians and destructive dredging and filling of their fertile fishponds, taro gardens and communities along Waikiki and O'ahu's south shore. These were begun by Walter Dillingham shortly after the U.S. military overthrew the Hawaiian government in 1893 and annexed the islands five years later. Dillingham soon got his cashier, L. H. Pinkam, appointed by President McKinley as the fourth governor of the Territory of Hawaii. Together they destroyed old Waikiki and served each other with great profits to Dillingham Corp.\\n_________________________________________________________________\\nMarch 17, 1970: The largest demo ever at the state Capitol brought 2,000 Park supporters together. We won several major SOS legislative victories: $1 million to begin Sand Island Park [$8 million has been spent to 1990]; A 3-year $150,000 Surf Parameters Study; and Hawaii's first Shoreline Setback law to protect our coastlines.\\n\\nNOW FOR LIES AND INTRIGUE\\nSand Island Park was completed in 1978. At this time, the State's Park planner made a mistake which he recently admitted to SOS. He ordered the contractor to place \"soil, grass and irrigation pipes as close to the ocean as possible.\" This violated common sense and the State's new Shoreline Setback law.\\n\\nHigh tides and summer surf soon scoured out soil and grass. The man-made \"erosion\" restored the stable 56-year old upper-reach-of-waves zone! Three years later, the state called in the Army Corps. Jumping for another\\n\\nBoth State and Corps, damn well knowing of SOS's role in winning the Park, withheld notification to the Park's SOS founders, to our 200,OOO+ wave riders and the quarter million Park users of West Honolulu! Only 31 persons -- mostly State and Corps agents  --  appeared at the main 1983 \"public\" EIS hearing! The huge user population remained uninformed!\\n\\nIn '86, a part-Hawaiian with haole (foreign) motives got elected governor with $7 million raised for him and his It-governor by William Paty, former boss of Castle & Cooke's Waialua Sugar Plantation. Paty pumps plush contacts among power-hungry corporations.\\n\\nWaihee's mainland-lawyer motives of fame and fortune dimmed any concern of his that C&C had led the sugar industry in the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian government, impoverished his people, stole their lands and abused their natural resources.\\n"}],"sequences":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31375/sequence/normal","@type":"sc:Sequence","label":"Current Page Order","viewingDirection":"left-to-right","viewingHint":"paged","canvases":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31375/canvas/p1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"160-1439medium.jpg","thumbnail":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35850/full/151%2C200/0/default.jpg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35850","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"width":2444,"height":3242,"images":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31375/annotation/p0001-image","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35850/full/603%2C800/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":2444,"height":3242,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35850","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31375/canvas/p1"}]},{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31375/canvas/p2","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"160-1442medium.jpg","thumbnail":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35851/full/156%2C200/0/default.jpg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35851","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"width":2465,"height":3158,"images":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31375/annotation/p0002-image","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35851/full/624%2C800/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":2465,"height":3158,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35851","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31375/canvas/p2"}]},{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31375/canvas/p3","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"160-1445medium.jpg","thumbnail":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35852/full/156%2C200/0/default.jpg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35852","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"width":2481,"height":3179,"images":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31375/annotation/p0003-image","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35852/full/624%2C800/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":2481,"height":3179,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35852","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31375/canvas/p3"}]},{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31375/canvas/p4","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"160-1448medium.jpg","thumbnail":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35853/full/154%2C200/0/default.jpg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35853","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"width":2465,"height":3207,"images":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31375/annotation/p0004-image","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35853/full/615%2C800/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":2465,"height":3207,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35853","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31375/canvas/p4"}]}]}]}
