President’s Message
Summer is indeed here! And many of us will be doing some traveling. Why not plan to share your travel photos with the Club members and present a program?!
Do you have a friend or associate who would enjoy our programs? Why not invite them as a guest and encourage them to join the Club!
We have another schedule of interesting programs this quarter and we hope you’ll join us!
Aloha, Lowell Angell, President

1. Buy drink scrip CASH ONLY from our registrar BEFORE 6:30PM. Purchase as many as you will need throughout dinner.
2. Use your scrip during the dinner to order drinks from the waiter. WE NEED YOUR HELP!
The Adventurers’ Club has always relied on its members to handle the many tasks needed to make the Club run smoothly.
The two main needs are securing speakers for programs and taking RSVP’s for the monthly meetings. For the Club to continue successfully, we need volunteers willing to pitch in and help! We’d love to have you as a program speaker.
Please also consider taking RSVPs for one of our meetings. It’s not complicated and is something you can do at home on your computer. Please contact our program chair Bill Chapman (wchapman@hawaii.edu) if you’re willing to present a program (or know someone who could do so). Contact Lowell Angell (angell@hawaii.edu) if you’d like to help take RSVP’s.
Please also contact him if you’re interested in being considered for the Club’s board of directors. MAHALO!

Going South – A trip to the Ice: Architecture in Antarctica
by guest Joe Ferraro
Client: “Build me a building that very few people will visit, unless they are invited by an elite group of scientists. There is no land in sight for hundreds of miles – only ice that is 10,000 feet thick. Oh, by the way, the ice is moving, but only 33 feet a year. Not to worry about it melting though, since it never gets above 0o F and the temperature often drops over 100o F below zero.”
“Power? None available. You’ll have to figure out how to make it and come up with some way to store some fuel, probably about 500,000 gallons of it. And there’s no water either, so you will have to come up with this precious fluid for drinking, washing, and just in case there is a fire, a way to put it out.”
“Bringing in materials and supplies might be a problem: no roads and the closest store is 700 miles away. If it doesn’t have what you need, add another 2,400 miles to the trip. And there is no way to get there from February ‘til November.”
The Hawai’i architectural firm of Ferraro Choi And Associates was awarded the contract for the design of the National Science Foundation’s Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. This $153 million one-of-a-kind research station, dedicated on January 12, 2008, is one of the most technological and sophisticated structures ever built on the Antarctic continent. Joe Ferraro, FAIA, discusses this unusual and fascinating project on a continent known more for its ice than architecture.
Ferraro received a BFA in interior design from Pratt Institute in 1971 and worked in New York City for 11 years. In 1982, he relocated to Hawai’i and attended the University of Hawaii School of Architecture. He co-founded Ferraro Choi in 1988, an architectural firm specializing in Sustainable “Green” Architecture. He holds architectural registrations in Hawaii and New York and is an accredited LEED Green Building Council professional.
Joe has continued to design projects on the Antarctic continent since 1984 and is currently the principal in charge of the Information Technology and Communication Primary Center for the National Science Foundation and an architectural peer reviewer for Russia’s Vostok Station.

Safari: Planning and Traveling on a Bucket List Trip
by members Carolyn and David Gire
Mashatu Game Reserve comprises 29,000 hectares (72,000 acres) of privately-owned land in the conserved wilderness area known as the Northern Tuli Game Reserve. The reserve lies in the eastern extremity of Botswana where the great Limpopo and Shashe Rivers converge. This exceptionally diverse landscape includes wide open plains, grassland, riverine forests, rocky hills, marshland and majestic sandstone ridges.
Mashatu, “Land of Giants”, takes its name from the locally sacrosanct Mashatu or Nyala berry tree (Xanthrocercis zambesiaca) and the giants that roam its terrain. Mashatu Game Reserve is situated at the confluence of the great Limpopo and Shashe Rivers in the remote eastern corner of Botswana. This area is known historically as the Tuli Enclave and it is here where the three countries; Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe converge. In addition to this large conservation area, Mashatu Game Reserve offers refuge to the largest elephant population on a private reserve on the African continent.
MalaMala Game Reserve is the safari industry’s blueprint for the luxury photographic safari. In existence since 1927, this massive, thriving tract of land offers the most exciting wildlife experience this side of the equator. MalaMala Game Reserve is one of the largest private Big Five game reserves in South Africa. It covers 13,300ha (33,000 acres), shares a 19km (12 mile) unfenced boundary with the world-renowned Kruger National Park and lies strategically sandwiched between the Kruger and the Sabi Sand Reserve.

Innovation in the Buildings of the Kingdom of Hawaii
by guest Ralph Kim
Hawai‘i faced rapid change after Captain Cook ushered in permanent contact with the West. This transition is exhibited in the buildings built during the Kingdom of Hawaii as Native Hawaiians adopted innovative building practices. Ralph’s talk will focus on his summer field school in the UHM Department of American Studies focusing on the extant buildings of the period prior to 1893 and the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani. An “adventure” in history and architecture, Ralph’s presentation will remind us of what an interesting collection of architecture was here in the nineteenth century and how little survives. This talk is a must for anyone with an interest in the Hawaiian Islands and their history.
The Kingdom of Hawaii originated in 1795 with the unification of the independent islands of Hawai´i, O´ahu, Maui, Moloka´i, and Lāna´i under one government. In 1810, the whole Hawaiian Islands became unified when Kaua´i and Ni´ihau joined the Kingdom of Hawaii voluntarily and without bloodshed or war. Two major dynastic families ruled the kingdom: the House of Kamehameha and the House of Kālakaua.
The Kingdom won recognition from major European powers. The United States became its chief trading partner. The U.S. watched over the Kingdom lest some other power (such as Britain or Japan) threaten to seize control. Hawai´i was forced to adopt a new constitution in 1887 when King Kalākaua was threatened with violence by the Honolulu Rifles, a white, anti-monarchist militia, to sign it. Queen Liliʻuokalani, who succeeded Kalākaua in 1891, tried to abrogate the 1887 constitution and promulgate a new constitution, but was overthrown in 1893, largely at the hands of the Committee of Safety, a group of residents consisting of Hawaiian subjects and foreign nationals of American, British and German descent. Hawaii became a republic until the United States annexed it using The Newlands Resolution which was a joint resolution passed on July 4, 1898, by the United States Congress creating the Territory of Hawaii.
Ralph Kam holds a Ph.D. in American Studies from UH Manoa. He has researched many aspects of Hawaiian history and has several books on nineteenth-century practice to his credit. He is the past Dean of Humanities at Honolulu Community College.
