This latest incident where the Thirty Meter Telescope protesters erected a structure, only to have it razed, has me stumped (“Crews raze a building illegally erected by protesters near Mauna Kea,” Star-Advertiser, Sept. 7). Read more
I suggest changing the name of the Thirty Meter Telescope to Hina Maka, or “Eye of the Hawaiian moon goddess.” Read more
In response to “Cyclists, moped riders travel dangerously” (Star-Advertiser, Letters, Sept. 5): As a cyclist, I understand that many bikers are irresponsible and often don’t adhere to traffic regulations. Read more
The City and County of Honolulu has a valuable resource in the Ocean Safety lifeguard team. They risk their lives every day to ensure the safety of the general public. Read more
I completely agree with Nicholas Blank (“We should join efforts to clean up our planet,” Star-Advertiser, Letters, Sept. 11), except to say that the situation is far, far worse than a dirtied mud puddle. Read more

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is like a ray of light through heavily overcast skies that make up the current corruption permeating Hawaii (“A ritual call to parents will be a calming force for Titans QB Marcus Mariota,” Star-Advertiser, Ferd Lewis, Sept. 5). Read more
Recently, the “Oscars of Science” awarded a special prize for the stunning first image of a black hole (“2 Mauna Kea telescopes share in prize,” Star-Advertiser, Sept. 8). Read more

The Star-Advertiser presented the view that “We’ll pay for Trump’s wall” (Week in Review, Sept. 7). Read more
