TRIG-STAR PROGRAM FINALE - SEAOH

VOL. 45 NO. 4 SERVING 2000 ENGINEERS & LAND SURVEYORS JUNE, 2009

TRIG-STAR PROGRAM FINALE

The 2009 Hawaii Trig-Star Program haswrapped up and we now know who the statewinner is. Once again, in impressive fashion,Chloe Honbo has captured the prestigious awardof Hawaii’s Trig-Star. Chloe is a junior at the highschool La Pietra Hawaii School for Girls. She fin-ished at the top of the heap of nearly 200 stu-dents with a score of 100% in a time of 51 min-utes and 0 seconds.

Chloe will now enter the national competitionrepresenting our state in late June where nearlyall 50 states challenge to win the honor of beingdeclared the National Trig-Star winner. I had theopportunity to meet with her and award her witha $600.00 cash prize and a koa plaque, she hasgrown quite a bit since last year and is lookingforward to her senior year and competing yetagain. She does admit though that the nationalcompetition is much harder and stressful underthe conditions. I am confident she will do well. Inaddition to winning the plaque and monetaryaward Chloe also wins a $500.00 scholarship tobe granted in her senior year, since she was alsothe state winner last year she now has accumu-lated $1,000.00 in scholarship money.

I’d like to also acknowledge the other studentsfrom participating schools, especially the 2ndand 3rd place winners, both from the outerislands. Student Yu-Jen Chen from Saint JosephJr/Sr High School from the Big Island, had anoutstanding score of 100% with a time of 60 min-utes. Student Malia Hamilton from Saint AnthonyJr/Sr High School from the island of Maui, shealso had a great score of 95% with a time of 43minutes and 05 seconds. All the students partic-ipating in this national competition are excellentmath students trying to solve very complicatedtrigonometric problems and they all did a fantas-tic job.

The Trig-Star Program which is a national com-petition sponsored by the National Society ofProfessional Surveyors and the Hawaii LandSurveyors Association believe in supporting our

high school students and the math teachers whodedicate all their time in teaching our youngadults. Far too many times the teachers andmath department heads do not get the creditthey so greatly deserve for the timeless effort ineducating our youth. The Hawaii Trig-StarProgram would also like to congratulate Mr. JackWade from La Pietra Hawaii School for Girls forhis outstanding efforts in preparing the studentsof La Pietra for this competition. Mr. Wade hasbeen awarded a $600.00 cash prize and a koaplaque for his achievements as a teacher. Greatjob to all the teachers who have worked hard toprepare their students for this very difficult mathcompetition.

I’d like to thank the corporate and individualsponsors who make this great program possibleevery year, without their help and support forthese high schools none of this would be possi-ble. The sponsors cover all the cost for the test-ing materials and awards at the high school level.If you or your company would like to sponsor aschool or your alma mater in future competitionsplease contact me, Kevin Kea at [email protected] schools and sponsors include:Assets School – Mr. Royce JonesCastle High School – Austin Tsutsumi &

See also the top 10 scores per school out ofthe participating 16 schools. The last question onthe 4th problem which ask for the area of Lot 3 iswhat stumped all of the students who came inwith a 95% score, if these students would havebeen able to solve this portion of the problemthere’s a good chance we would have a differentTrig-Star winner, just goes to show you howclose this competition is and how a slight mis-calculation can lose your chances of coming infirst. More reason why we should be impressedwith the achievements of Chloe Honbo.Congratulations Chloe!

2009 Corps of Engineers Workshop Spotlights “A Year for Change”

By Joseph Bonfiglio, Honolulu District Public Affairs

Over 222 local architects, engineers, construc-tion contractors and others in related fieldsattended the 14th Annual U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers Workshop April 21 at the Ala MoanaHotel in Honolulu.

The workshop provided local design and con-struction representatives the latest information onthe Honolulu District’s project workload, technicalinformation and administrative procedures thataffect how to do business with the Corps.

This year’s workshop theme was, “A Year forChange.” Norman Kawachika, PE, president ofthe American Council of Engineering Companiesof Hawaii and Todd Barnes, chief of the HonoluluDistrict’s Engineering and Construction Division,gave the opening remarks.

Barnes introduced Tony Paresa, the District’sdeputy District Engineer for Programs & ProjectManagement. After discussing the overall mis-sion of the Honolulu District and workshop goals,Paresa gave a presentation that focused on pro-jected future construction work and how con-struction work comes to the Corps.

Information presented during the 2009 work-shop will allow participants to better understandcontracting methods and procedures, to beaware of new standards and codes affecting mil-itary projects, to learn about design, constructionand legal implications of working with theHonolulu District, according to Paresa.

The luncheon speaker was Senior FederalExecutive Jim Bersson, director of RegionalBusiness of the Corps’ Pacific Ocean Division,headquartered at Fort Shafter. Bersson gave abig picture overview of the Corps’ mission in thePacific and gave insights into the ongoing reloca-tion of U.S. forces from Okinawa to Guam, CivilWorks in the region and Military Construction inAlaska, Hawaii, Japan, Korea and other locationsin the Corps’ area of responsibility.

The workshop and breakout sessions alsoprovided opportunity for industry partners fromthe American Institute of Architects (HonoluluChapter), American Council of EngineeringCompanies of Hawaii, General ContractorsAssociation of Hawaii, Building IndustryAssociation of Hawaii and the AssociatedBuilders & Contractors of Hawaii to discussissues one-on-one with Corps’ employees in thespirit of partnership.

Corps and other functional area specialistsgave a wide variety of presentations duringbreakout sessions including: a. How to do business with the Corps by DavidKam & Cathy Yoza b. A panel discussion about Industry Feedbackon Military Construction Transformation led byAndrew Kohashi c. Just What Does It Take to Please You Guys?by Ed Yago & Duane Arakawa d. Whose Fault Was It? Playing the Blame Gameby Shivaun White & Kanale Sadowski e. Technicalities! by Kevin Araki and ReynoldChun f. Design Build Process Demystified by LynnArakaki, Owen Ogata, Kimberly Jyo and BruceChun g. Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI) by OlsonOkada h. I Won a Construction Contract, Now What DoI Do? by Chris Takashige

According to Kawachika, this year’s workshophad the most attendees ever at over 222. Hebelieved that the slow local construction econo-my probably prompted the high attendance as

local firms seek out Army contracts whichKawachika said are always reliable. “The Corpsand in particular, Corps organizer Gary Nip wereespecially proactive in getting the word out toindustry,” Kawachika said. “This workshop isvital to our business. We need to know the latestchanges and this gives us a heads up so we canplan our year better,” he said. “The panel discus-sion gives us a platform in which we can tell theArmy about our concerns. This is very valuablefor our engineers.”

Kirt Pruyn, Business Development manager forHawaiian Dredging echoed those sentiments.“Like everyone else, I come for the latest infor-mation and networking opportunities,” Pruynsaid. “The industry panel discussion is especiallyuseful since we can dialogue with the Corps onitems of mutual interest.”

Gary Nip, chief of the Honolulu District’sDesign Branch said, “this workshop is a greatopportunity for the Corps to partner with ourindustry counterparts to discuss relevant issuesand topics. We received a lot of positive feed-back from industry during the military construc-tion transformation panel, which provided aninsight into what works in private industry andwhat government can learn from it. We had a bigdiscussion about Building Information Modeling(BIM). This Workshop reflects well on the hardwork of both the Corps and our industry partnersin setting this up.”

In addition to information sharing, the Corpshonored many contractors for their demonstrat-ed excellence in the areas of quality and safety onCorps’ projects.

This year’s workshop was co-sponsored bythe American Institute of Architects, HonoluluChapter (AIA), American Council of EngineeringCompanies of Hawaii (ACECH), GeneralContractors Association of Hawaii (GCA),Building Industry Association of Hawaii (BIA) andthe Associated Builders and Contractors ofHawaii (ABC) in conjunction with HonoluluDistrict.

As such it was another suc-cess! Proudly holding up our banner in front wereVergel, Nick, Diane and Marites. As always, Nap,Suzie and Marisol made the walk from FortDeRussy to Kapiolani Park more relaxed andmeaningful by having the initial participants thinkof all the food and other goodies they had set upand waiting for them at the end of the parade. Infact, they walked from the Park to Fort DeRussyand made it just in time to join the group as it gotcalled to get out on the parade line-up onKalakaua. Others who arrived later also joined thegroup somewhere along the route. Jeoffrey whowas initially marching with the Mayor along withother C&C employees who are also members ofFALEA at the head of the parade joined ourmarching unit about two-thirds of the way assoon as they were finished with the Mayor’sentourage.

KNOW YOUR ASCE HISTORYby C.S. Papacostas

R. Renton Hind, Engineer and Sugar ManIn the April 2009 issue, I mentioned that

Stanley Solamillo of the Maui Planning Dept. hadasked me (back in Feb. 2007) if I had comeacross the name R. Renton Hind who was des-ignated as a consulting engineer for Hackfeld &Company on the Pioneer Mill office building inLahaina.

Here is the thrust of my response a few dayslater after visiting the UH Hamilton Library:

The “R” stands for Robert, the name of hisgrandfather (Robert Robson Hind) who came toHawaii from England in the 1860s and estab-lished a kamaàina family. His grandfather wasco-owner of machine shops and other enterpris-es with William Weight in Wailuku (Hind &Weight), and bought out his partner in 1869.Born in 1885, R. Renton was the eldest of 18grandchildren of Robson’s.

His father was John Hind (of Hawi; 1858-1933)who had five siblings, three brothers and two sis-ters. The father became president of the KohalaDitch Company on the Big Island when the ditchwas constructed in 1906 (among other activities),having engaged M. M. O’Shaughnessy, the engi-neer who has the Hetch Hetchy reservoir andaqueduct among his later achievements, for thetask. He had land dealings in California, helpeddevelop the Hind Sugar Co. in the Philippines,owned a small steel finishing mill in New Jersey,and co-organized the Kohala-Klondyke Co. in1897.

In editing his father’s memoirs, R. Renton Hindmentioned that he (Renton) had enjoyed his sum-mer visits at his grandparents place in SanFrancisco and that he completed his academicwork and had studied engineering in California.

He must have returned to Hawaiì in the firstdecade of the 1900s because he does mentionthat he accepted the position of mill engineer inEwa in 1912 and this fact fits in with my findingthat he served as president of the Honolulu-based Engineering Association from 1913-1915.Now known as the Engineers and Architects ofHawaii Association, this venerable organizationwas established in 1902 as the first educationalassociation of engineers in Hawaiì.

From the Star-Bulletin in 1947, I found that R.Renton Hind went to the Philippines in either1918 or 1920 to run the family Sugar Co (or“Center”) in Pangasinan Province.

During World War II, he and his family (wifeMildred, son Jack Dwight Hind and daughter-in-law Louella) were captured by the Japanese andsent to several prison camps including one atBaguio in Luzon. He was liberated from Bilibidprison on Feb. 4, 1945. He then visited the U.S.where he published a book about his internment(“Spirits Unbroken,” 1946, San Francisco) andreturned to his “central” mill property on Aug. 23,1946.

On visits here, he gave several interviews to theStar-Bulletin (SB) in 1947 and 1951. During his1947 visit, the “former Hawaii resident” boughtthe crushing plant of the Wailea Milling Companyon the Big Island to be disassembled andshipped to the Philippines where it would grindbetween 500 and 600 tons of cane a week. Hereturned by Pan American plane to Manila andthen on to the Hind property “131 miles from thefamed beach where Gen. MacArthur landed inhis triumphant march [SB, 8/15/1947].”

In 1951, “R” was finalizing his accounts andpreparing to join his wife in retirement in MillsValley, California, having sold his sugar interestsin the Philippines. That same year, he published“John Hind of Hawi (1858-1933) His Memoirs”

planned for 2009. A tour of the Dietrich MetalFraming plant in Kapolei is tentatively scheduledfor September 2009. At least one technical sem-inar is being planned for the end of 2009 or early2010. Among the seminar topics being consid-ered are mid-rise structures combined with noncold-formed steel (CFS) lateral systems, trusspresentation and product standards and spantables in conjunction with the SSMA’s new cata-log, and fire/sound acoustic systems andadvancements. If you have any suggestions onfuture program topics, please contact JasonEmoto.

AD-HOC COMMITTEEThe next meeting of the ad-hoc committee

tasked with developing general notes and speci-fications for cold-formed steel will be held onJune 19, 2009. Anyone interested in participat-ing in the development of these general notesand specifications is encouraged to attend thismeeting. If interested, please contact AkiraUsami.

HPSFA The CFSEI-Hawaii Chapter supported the

HPSFA membership meeting held on May 18,2009 with presentation on “Lateral Systems forCFS Construction” with Jeff Ellis, P.E., S.E., CodeReport & Branch Engineering Manager forSimpson Strong-Tie Co., Inc. as the guestspeaker. This presentation discussed the differ-ent lateral systems for cold-formed steel con-struction. It began by briefly explaining wind andseismic loads and then go over the load paths ofhow those loads may be transferred from theresisting elements (e.g., shear walls) to the sup-porting elements (e.g., foundation). The variouslateral force resisting systems, typically used incold-formed steel construction, were thenreviewed. The presentation concluded with anoverview of the current code requirements for lat-eral systems.

MEETING NOTES April 24, 2009The Hawaii ITE had its monthly luncheon meet-

ing on April 24, 2009 at the City’s Frank FasiMunicipal Building.

The speaker, Mr. Steven Hogan, updated ITEmembers the City’s Honolulu High CapacityTransit Corridor Project. Mr. Steve Hogan is theCity’s consultant, the Transportation Planninglead for PB Americas, Inc. He explained the railtechnology selections and some examples fromother metropolitans. The project cost, funding,and the construction techniques were discussedas well. The first segment of the project from EastKapolei to Pearl Highlands will break ground bythe end of 2009 and is expected to be complet-ed in 2013. The Minimal Operational Segment(MOS) from Kapolei to Ala Moana ShoppingCenter is projected to be operational in 2018.

land in 1924 for the cow pasture of the Hind-Clarke Dairy that was later developed into AinaHaina (meaning “The Land of Hind”). As newspa-per reporter A. A. Smyser put it in 1952, “deep inWailupe Valley this week, men and machineslabored to carve still more streets for homes froma scrubby hillside [SB, 6/28/1952].” At that time,Aina Haina had “1,000 attractive homes plus agrowing Shopping Center - the collective worth of$20,000,000... The whole development boastsconcrete sidewalks, wide streets, undergroundpower lines, and homes set back 25 feet from theroads.”

The same company developed lands on theBig Island, and owned Capt. Cook Coffee Co. inKona.

The reason why Robert Renton Hind, the con-sultant on the Pioneer Mill building in Lahaina,was not as well known as other Hinds is becausehe spent more of his adult life in the Philippinesthan in Hawai`i.
