PEPEEKEO, Hawaii – The second of four TMT & Maunakea: Common Ground talks was held Wednesday night at the Kulaimano Community Center in Pepe’ekeo. The discussions are organized by the Hilo-Hamakua Community Development Corporation in order to “bring more information to the community that it serves (from north of the singing bridge in Hilo to Waipi`o Valley) so that people can make informed decisions about the TMT.”

The first to speak was Dr. Peter Adler, director of ACCORD3.0, a group of independent consultants specializing in foresight, fact-finding and consensus building. While with The Keystone Center in 2007, Adler was commissioned by The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to conduct an independent risk assessment regarding a possible siting of the Thirty Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea.

Adler began his speech on Wednesday night by showing a clip from the movie Invictus, in which Nelson Mandela – played by Morgan Freeman – talked about leadership and inspiration.

The next Common Ground meeting will be Tuesday June 2 at Laupahoehoe Community Public Charter School Cafeteria.
