2010 General Membership Meeting – October 2, 2010 – Kawaihae, Big Island, Hawaii
The Annual General Membership meeting was held this year on Saturday, October 2,
2010 at Spencer Beach Park on the Big Island. There was plenty of good food, drink and
conversation among those that attended the meeting. Attendees as well as beachgoers were
treated to some great music by Iopa Maunakea’s band “Bruddah Kuz”. Topics discussed
ranged from interests on workshops in the near future along with the upcoming annual
surveying conference to the on-going efforts on the need to revise the “definition of a
land surveyor” that currently exists under Hawaii state law. Thanks go out to Ace Land
Surveying, ControlPoint Surveying, Inc., R.M. Towill Corporation, Surveyor Supply
Company, and Erik Kaneshiro who donated to the event. Also a special thanks goes out to
Iopa Maunakea who took on the sole task of putting things together for the event on the
Big Island.
Darryl Cadiz
Precise Digital Leveling Workshop
HLSA would like to thank Ed Carlson and Chris Guerin volunteering their time to put on the Precise
Digital Leveling workshop that was held on Satrurday October 9, 2010. Those who attended now
have a better understanding of the equipment and procedures required to do leveling that will meet
NGS standards for submittal to the NGS database. I would also like to send out a special thanks to
the Operating Engineers Local 3 Union, to Pane Meatoga and Dain Kamakaala for not only letting
us use their Kahuku training facilities at no cost, but for providing the catered lunch.

The shortest distance between two points
is not a trip back to the tripod.
TRIMBLE S8 TOTAL STATION
“Back and forth.” Easily two of the most hated words for any surveyor.
Except perhaps, “again”.
Trimble® VISION™ technology brings new levels of productivity to the
Trimble S8 Total Station by dramtically reducing trips back to the tripod.
Now you can see everything the instrument sees from your controller.
Why walk back? With the longer range EDM you can stay put and use
your controller to aim, acquire, and capture measurements to
reflectorless surfaces – at more than twice the distance you’re used to.
The Trimble S8 also gives you live video streaming with surveyed data
on the screen to confirm your task list. With photo documentation,
you have visual verification for all data before leaving the site.
Eliminating an even costlier form of back and forth.
Trimble VISION is the latest in a long line of innovations designed to
make surveying more productive, in the field, in the office, and wherever
the next opportunity takes you.
