The SAME conference is the Pacific’s pre-mier military engineering conference bringingtogether government leaders, military engineers,and their engineering partners.
The main theme of the conference is “Centuryof the Pacific – Catch the Wave.” For the 21stcentury, the Pacific Rim is assuming a pivotal rolein military infrastructure, operations, planning andconstruction. The region is receiving a growingportion of military expenditures, with some of thelargest and most important projects occurring inthe region. Over the next several years, the U.S.Department of Defense will invest several billiondollars on military infrastructure in Hawaii, Guam,
Alaska, Japan and Korea. Participants at theSAME conference had the chance to meet mili-tary and civilian leaders who are responsible forplanning and executing these major infrastruc-ture and facility improvement projects.
To ensure that the participants and exhibitorsreceive maximum benefits, the SAME conferencewas structured to emphasize the following:1. Facilitate dialogue and networking among the
uniformed services and industry representa-tives in a professional and social setting.
2. Provide technical education and training forSAME members and other conference atten-dees, including the awarding of credits for con-tinuing education requirements.
3. Gain insight on future programs and relatedbusiness opportunities in the Pacific andNorthwest regions from various Department ofDefense agencies.
4. Provide mentoring opportunities for SAMEYoung Members in the Pacific and Northwestregions. “As our economy has continued to become
more global and many of our sustaining memberfirms operate in both the Pacific and Northwest
Regions, the conference is an opportunity tobeing together our various partners,” said ToddBarnes, President of the SAME Honolulu Post.“The networking opportunity for firms currentlydoing or desiring to do business with theDepartment of Defense, state and local govern-ments is vary valuable.”
Twenty three speakers from the Pacific andNorthwest regions gave informative talks on avariety of topics. Several technical sessions pro-vided advanced information on future work thatthe Department of Defense (e.g., Air Force, Army,and Navy) anticipates for funding in the nearfuture for the Pacific and Northwest regions.Heavy emphasis was placed on energy and sus-

KNOW YOUR ASCE HISTORYby C.S. Papacostas
Lanai City Engineer RootThis month (April 2009) I am moving on to
another topic! As I mentioned in December 2007,a month before embarking on my yearlong cov-erage of Drydock No.1 at Pearl Harbor, back inOctober 2006, Stanley Solamillo of the MauiCounty Planning Department, wrote:
“I am having difficulty finding out the full nameof an engineer who was hired by HawaiianPineapple Company to lay out Lanai City in 1923.His surname is Root, but I cannot find his first ormiddle names anywhere. Do you know anyonewho would know the full name of this engineer?”
The question fascinated me. I knew that thedesign of Lanai City incorporated very progres-sive elements for the 1920s and that much wasknown about its plantation history. Yet, as Ilamented in a message to Stanley, “Yeah! Usuallymanagers and owners get the limelight - engi-neers and planners lurk in the background!”
So, I went on a mission at the HawaiianCollection of Hamilton Library to see what I couldfind.
In a small volume published in 1976 by RuthTabrah and titled simply “Lanai,” I read that Mr.Root was “the engineer hired to lay out the plan-tation and plan a town to house Dole employ-ees.” This, I guessed was probably the reference
that Stanley mentioned. On the same page wasa passing comment about Mrs. Root; two pageslater, there was mention of “Engineer Root’sdrawing board.” Next, I unearthed a 1989 limitedpublication of the Center for Oral History at theSocial Science Research Institute of theUniversity of Hawaii at Manoa that carried theheading “LANAI CITY: The People of Ko`ele andKeomuku.” For accuracy, I must mention thatthe “o” in both of the Hawaiian words wascapped by the diacritic macron. The typed doc-ument yielded the first and middle initial ofEngineer David E. Root, but not much more.Gleefully, I shared the discovery with Stanley, butmy thirst for more data on this skillful and creativeprofessional had not been quenched. I searchedon to only find an undated reprint from theHonolulu Star Bulletin authored by Riley H. Allenand W. R. Chellgard. The sentence “three hun-dred acres of the rich red soil were planted topineapple in 1924 followed by 900 acres in1925” followed by an excursion to Lanai“January 31” (without specifying the year) gaveme a hint as to the timing of the report. A refer-ence to a “new community” in the title reinforcedmy guess. Here is an excerpt from “Lanai: A NewCommunity” that attests to the quality of Mr.Root’s engineering: “Before the investment ofapproximately $3,000,000 -to date- has begunto return a penny, the Hawaiian PineappleCompany is providing its workers not only withaccommodations for living, but with accommo-dations for enjoyment and recreation to a notabledegree. Schools, churches, a model playground,a fine baseball field, a swimming pool, tenniscourts, an ample and well equipped auditoriumand moving picture theater are as much a part ofLanai City as the fine roads, the well-appointedoffice, or the model machine shop; as much as apart of the whole enterprise as the harbor thathas been hewn out of the cliff-walled beach.”
And what about our engineer? This is what theaccount said about him:
“D. E. Root, the resident engineer of thepineapple company, smiles, but he, too, couldtell of the heartbreaking job it looked at timeswhen the company was trying to build a townand take care of the labor before houses couldgo up.”
The reprint contained photographs of pineap-ple fields, the wharf of Kaumalapau with its rail-road tracks under construction, various scenesof the city and of visitors to Lanai on that“January 31,” I presume. Among them was onefeaturing “George C. Munro, manager Lanai Co.,

Meeting notes: February 20th, 2009Speaker: Bill Leary P.E. US Navy Consultantfor Drydocks.
Title: Changes in Modern Shipbuildingand Launching Technology
Mr. Leary provided a brief history of the oldshipbuilding methods, where ships were built onabout a five degree slope and then launchedfrom the building ways by sliding into the water.This method is difficult because everything has tobe built at the five degree angle. Also, thelaunching is uncontrolled and puts stress on thehull of the ships. The ships are then moved dockside for final out fitting. He then showed the var-ious ways used today, which include building theships in huge modular sections. Then movingthe complete ship into a floating drydock or atNewport News where the only one of its kind dry-dock that has a floating pontoon. The ship ismoved onto the pontoon and then lower into thewater via flooding of the drydock and sinking thepontoon. For Mr. Leary’s complete talk, visit theEAH WEB site.

Indeed, true to the authors’ description, thephotograph captured Engineer Root all smiles:The only one in knee-high boots and smokingpipe, he struck a pose of someone leading anAfrican safari.
Reviewing my old notes for accuracy, I nowrealize that by some coincidence that I cannotfully explain, my 2006 notes on Ruth Tabrah’sbook that I mentioned at the beginning, includedthe following quotation:
“Jim Dole hired Francis ‘Drydock’ Smith inOctober, 1923 to design a harbor at Kaumalapauon the lee side of the island.” Some of you mayrecall that “Drydock” was the lead engineer of theSan Francisco Bridge Company on the buildingof Drydock No. 1, the story of which I completedlast month (March 2009)!
Stanley’s response to the information I sharedwith him was “Mahalo for supplying the name ofthe engineer who designed Lanai City.”
Then, he continued “I am preparing a nomina-tion to the National Register of Historic Places forthe Pioneer Mill Office in Lahaina. It was built in1910 under Hackfeld & Company and may bethe first board-formed concrete building on theisland, predating Paia Mill Offices (1911), HC&SOffices (1913), and the Lahaina Store (1916). Thecontractor was W.J. Moody; R. Renton Hind wasthe consulting engineer for Hackfeld & Companybut I know nothing about him...”
My plan is to tell what I discovered about R.Renton Hind in support of Stanley’s quest in afuture installment of my history vignettes.

ENGINEERS WEEK KICKOFF LUNCHEONFebruary 17th, 2009 – SAME and HCES were
honored to have Ted Peck, the State EnergyAdministrator at the Dept of Business, EconomicDevelopment & Tourism (DBEDT) present his“Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative” at the EngineersWeek 2009 kick-off luncheon. Mr. Peck beganby highlighting the somber reality of Hawaii’suniquely high petroleum consumption, placing itin both a national and global context. He went onto stress the tremendous potential of renewableenergy in the islands, estimated at 150% of thecurrent installed capacity. The Hawaii CleanEnergy Initiative’s goals are numerous; with thefirst being to achieve a 70% clean energy econo-my for the State of Hawaii within a generation.“The primary barriers to reaching this goal are nottechnical or financial; they are policy-driven,” Mr.Peck said. Finally, he laid out a comprehensiveapproach to address policies regarding electricitygeneration and delivery, efficiency standards, andtransportation. For a complete copy of Mr. Peck’spresentation, please see the SAME HonoluluPost Web site at http://samehonolulu.org/.
