There is no ISDN service anywhere in Maui County at this time. ISDN service is scheduled to be introduced on Lanai in May and other locations throughout the County throughout the year.
There are a few ways to get a fast connection in Maui County at this time: Switch 56, Frame Relay and Fractional T-1... Service is available from GTE and from GST...

Status: U
Dear Peter:
Just looked at the 1000 Day CountUP to Peace Website which is loaded with events and activities that you can connect to the Kid-Cast for Peace on April 22nd.
Among them are:
MILLENNIUM MAIL ART PROJECT. Boston 2000 is sponsoring a program that can empower everyone to help create peace through creativity. Create a drawing, poem or story about peace on earth. Make 10 to 30 copies. Choose names at random from your local phone book, and send each a copy of your creative effort in a RED ENVELOPE. Get other people involved to do the same thing. Let the media know that hundreds of people in your community will receive a special red envelope in the mail. This program can be set up in every community and it can also continue throughout the 1000 Day CountUP to Peace. For information about Boston 2000's program contact: Patrice Keegan, Steal This Idea, Inc., 111 Franklin Street, Allston, MA 02134. Email- pkeegan@uh-ras1.bu.edu; webpage: www.codman.org/boston2000/page5.html
IDEAS FOR PEACE CONTEST. The Millennium Institute is sponsoring a contest in which people can submit ideas about how our communities, governments, corporations and universities can use the 1000 Day CountUP as an opportunity to "prepare for a future that can be sustained in the face of declining natural resources." The 100 best ideas will be awarded certificates. The best set of ideas will receive $1000 prize. Ideas should be submitted to: Millennium Institute, 1117 N. 19th Street, Arlington, VA 22209-1708 U.S.A., e-mail: millennium@igc.apc.org webpage: www.igc.apc.o rg/millennium
CHILDREN'S 1000 DAYS TO THE MILLENNIUM CELEBRATION sponsored by World Peace 2000 will take place at Stoke Park, Guildford, Surrey England from 2pm-5pm. Everyone is invited. Several schools and local choirs will take part in a sing-a-long of peace songs; a Peace Star will be inaugurated; there will be various Peace stands and entertainments for children.

Dear Tracy,
Thank you so much for the donation of Enhanced CU-SeeMe software in support of our fourth "KidCast For Peace; Solutions For A Better World" cybercast this Earthday, April 22, 1997.
Enclosed is the "broadcaster" list so far. We will display your logo in KidCast Central and link to your site. Could you please announce our project on your events page (the URL above), with the blurb below? (ditto for all in this mailing)
===================================
Children Hold Court in Cyberspace to Share Visions of Peace on Earthday
Participate in "KidCast For Peace; Solutions for a Better World," a Creativity Cafe Cybercast on Earthday, April 22, 1997. History and participation details can be found in KidCast Central: http://creativity.net/kidcast2.html.
Children in schools, cybercafes, and at home are invited to prepare artwork describing their thoughts and feelings on how we might make this a happier, healthier, safer and more peaceful world? The KidCast will link participants via CU-SeeMe video conferencing software and the VRML "EarthStation" currently circling cyberspace. For further information, contact: Visionary Artists Resources Including Other Unique Services (V.A.R.I.O.U.S.); 2263 Sacramento St., San Francisco, CA 94115, (415)776-0821, email: various@creativity.net, or visit Creativity Cafe: http://creativity.net.
===================================
Also, Can you be in touch with Jon Fox at Mediacast and Otto at Sirius Communications to set up the reflector network? We will have about 6 (as it stands now) origination sources. I expect we will have more points of origin as the broadcast day approaches. I would like to have an ISDN or better reflector to have password protection for high-end content providers, and perhaps another reflector set up for 28.8, also with a project code (password).
As of today 3/27/97 we have the following ISDN or better participants. (Please advise of incorrectness...additions and deletions):

There is so much that we could be covering and I'm trying to find a way to narrowing it now alittle bit. The people who are in charge of this Day Camp have taken on too big of a topic. Some of the things I'm looking for is: hands on Crafts or projects that any age can work on to help them learn more about the world that they might not learn in school. EcoAction....

WoW Mendi...
Thanks for such an enthusiastic response. There is magic afloat here.... I just got back from celebrating my 50th Birthday with my LA friends (hence my delay in getting back to you) which is actually on 4-11. I consider myself an 11 vibration bringing that energy into all my work. The vision that drives me of the artists resource center was conceived a sleepless night on JULY ELEVENTH 1980. The vision had a birthday on JULY ELEVENTH 1991. Eleven years exactly from the night of the magnanomous vision that would change my life.
I found myself on Maui, my new home with old and new friends celebrating the total SOLAR ECLIPSE on 7-11-91. I had burned out several times over the years in following that inner call to bring to fruition a community resource center, what I now call Creativity Cafe(R), as a reflection of my hearts passion and desire to assist in planetary healing.
On that day in 1991, I said to myself, "Peter, even though you swore you would not produce any more showcases and physicalizations of your vision having burned out too many times. And, that you came to Maui to heal your body and
soul...the fact that this great celestial event marks the 11th anniversary to the day EXACTLY of your vision, cannot go unnoticed. It is a sign from God that you were born to bring this center for facilitating the expression of the most inspired and visionary creative souls to fruition. A place to produce positive media for global consumption in mass media, designed to heal mass mind... Ok, I'll do it!" I said, as I looked up to the heavens. The to to seal the deal. Somehow into my experience was turust a Navy astronomical epheremis that said totality lasted on the neighboring Island of HAWAII, four minutes and eleven seconds (4-11) exactly...MY BIRTHDAY! There are higher forces at work here folks!
Yes, I am an eleven. Now, just before my birthday, I get your message mentioning my actual birthday as your publication date. Like a cigarette is guaranteed another coffin nail, your message brings a breath of life as a testimonial to god's great plan for me!
Yes, kindred spirits are we, joining those uniting all over the world. Exciting isn't it? Welcome aboard our journey in unfolding the global theater of the future.
Here is a possible starting point for your article:
Creativity Cafe is a bridge between physical ( "V.A.R.I.O.U.S. Media Ink" Living Gallery Events; http://creativity.net/vmi.html) and cyberspace ("KidCast For Peace; Solutions For A Better World"; http://creativity.net/kidcast2.html). They provide and produce creativity enhancement/networking opportunities designed to instigate audience interaction, enjoyment of the creative process and appreciation of ones' Self. They exist in Cyberspace and touch down frequently in Physical Space on their way to a network of permanent Artists Resource and Community synergy Centers designed to faciliate creative expression and help build a better world.
So Mendi, I hope it's not too late to get into your magazine? That would be the best present. In my travels I met the President of Earth Day International, Dr. Gary Herbertson who immediately circulated our "KidCast For Peace; Solutions For A Better World" Press Release, to the Interfaith Council for the United Nations Network; a group coordinating global Earthday activities. Excitement is building!
I await your acknowledgement of this and hope by now you have visited KidCast Central, understand the participation instructions and perhaps have helped to organize school groups and cybercafes to participate in your area?
Great to be in touch with you!
Aloha,
-Peter-

Everything is going well. I turned over alot of the quotes and press related material to a magazine in Orlando that we work with. They are doing write ups and building support. According to Mindi (the editor) this coincides with alot of contacts she has that are already doing various things for Earthday. I believe she will pull together some nice things. If I get ahold of an issue I'll send it your way.
It's a waiting game right now. We are going to concentrate on Orlando so that we don't overwhelm ourselves. We are going to take in 50-75 pieces of art. With an undetermined amount of literature. Our deadline to have everything submitted to us is March 27th. That will give us the time to put together the pages and make them to par for the purpose. Linda is our contact for the school ... it is a small school of only 9 classrooms and about 270 students that range in grade from 8-13 (i believe). The Art Directors have monthly projects and this is it for the month of March.
Our site in general is averaging about 2000 hits per day and the kidcast logo and a link is being displayed in prominent locations. It's not much, but I'm sure it helps.
The only thing that I am a little shakey about is the CUSEEME stuff. I am unfamiliar with it, and don't know if my organizational abilities are going to span the 1300 miles between me and Orlando to get it together. We do have a person available that is doing live broadcasts from a club down there. He owns some server equipment and has expressed interest in participating as well. I do not know him directly though and am not sure of how reliable he will prove to be ... that seems to be the only ify part. If you have any additional info on the particulars of the broadcasting I would appreciate them.
Everything seems to be ontarget and well underway. It's amazing how easily it has taken off. All I can do now is sit back and hope for the best!

Greetings Peter,
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend a school with ISDN or T-1 access on Maui.
Since this is CU-SeeMe on the internet, is T-1 or ISDN really needed? (I
thought CU-See-Me only required a 28.8 modem) If you can get by with a 28.8
modem, you may find more schools have access to this technology.
As far as finding a school, you may want to contact the Kamehameha schools
at 808-842-8211. I believe they have a school in Lahaina. For the public
school system, you may want to contact the Department of Education's Office
of Telecom Services, Visual Technology Services branch at 808-832-5640 or
the Distance Learning Technology branch at 808-733-4777.
Feel free to call me at 800-800-6338 to discuss further.
Best Regards,
Gary

Children Globally Tell the Adults What to do in Earthday CyberCast
Dear Gary, I have been trying to find someone on Maui to cooperate in a CU-SeeMe video cast on the Internet for Earthday to facilitate the expression of Children Sharing their visions of peace. Are you able to suggest a school or other group with at least ISDN access who might like to participate? Details of the event can be found at the following URL: http://creativity.net/kcmaui4pr-1.html . It's called "KidCast For Peace; Solutions For A Better World".
Actually anywhere with a T-1 would be great if they wouldn't mind being the center of the cybercast? I will hopefully (If a CU-SeeMe capable facility pops up) be hosting from Maui where I'll be celebrationg my 50th D-Day. Can you be of assistance?
Mahalo for your response. Of course you are also welcome to participate!
KidCast Central has the details: http://creativity.net/kidcast2.html

To the MEMORY of Dr. Harold Miller? Do you mean that he has died? I met
him some time ago here at the Lab School and am startled at the thought.
Betsy Tan
BTW, thanks for the discussion re Maui Super Computer. This project feels
like something designed to make it look integrated into the community but
we are not actually using the Super Computer at this point and I am not
clear as to how it actually would be used by any of the projects.
Seabury Hall connections - will have to start looking for this.
Our Web coverage of last year's KidCast - as you point out, it takes time
- right now there is just a hot line waiting for a file, though there is
hope that there will be time over Spring Break to complete it in whatever
format we can manage - maybe even the format you suggest.
Aloha, Betsy Tan

Dear Peter,
This is Yoko, Japan.
When I read the mail here between you and Betsy,
the world looks much more smaller for me.
Mr.John Southworth is my 10 years friend since
I was staying Hawaii, doing projects together
since after, and sometimes coordinated vedio phone progams
with Betsy's class, and I remember Dr.Miller's name
on the list of Teleclass International Committee'list!
My skill on CU-SeeMe is getting better and last week
I got into Hawaii DOE's teachers training session with
CU-SeeMe. Any chances to reach you soon? Yoko

Fine! Ending earlier is actually better for writers. Here is the gig...
Put together a KidCast For Peace web site. Ideally we would like a statement, story, poem of no more than 4 paragraphs with a picture of the writer and his/her age. Topics and instructions can be found at 
KidCast Central. Make sure you are linked back to KidCast Central from the page you create. We will link to your KidCast for Peace page (after you send us the URL). We will also put it up on the VRML EarthStation carrying the other submissions. Whaddya think, Can you play?

This is great! Please Headline the page: "KidCast for Peace":
and if possible put our KidCast logo and link to KidCast Central somewhere on the page.

It is never too late to participate in the KidCast. The creation of peace/ecology related expression that is then formatted onto KidCast For Peace web sites, is an onging process.
The URLs can be sent to Creativity Cafe at any time for posting to KidCAst Central and the EarthSatation. In fact, the CU-SeeMe gatherings of children can take place any time we choose to organize/plan it.

Would you mind offering your support by posting the KidCast Call above (the press release) to those groups you are already in touch with? It seems like you are more aware of those resources then I. I would appreciate the synergy! Thanks.

Peter,
This is me and here is an excerpt from Orlando. I am going through my site
and adding the kidcast gif that you sent earlier. I need to figure out how
to get their classrooms hooked via cu-see-me. We have some friends that
run an ISP about a block away from one of the classrooms, and another
friend that has some nice digital video cameras. Unfortunately I have no
knowledge as to how to put together those pieces. I'm sure I will figure
it out, but if you have any time honored methods, it would be appreciated.
Thanks this is turning out to be quite fun.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for thinking us.
GSN would be happy to participate in this event. I think we can help in a
number of ways.
- "showcase" the event on our CU-SeeMe Schools site (www.gsn.org/gsn/cu)
- send an announcement out to our electronic mailing list
- provide students to interact via CU-SeeMe on the event day
- provide a robust reflector for use on that day
In return, we would request that:
1) the logo be displayed on the KidsCast web site with a hotlink back to
www.gsn.org
2) you mention Global SchoolNet to the media if the opportunity presents
itself :-)
What elese did you have in mind???

Dear Peter,
It sounds great what you are planning for Earth Day - having the environment
as one of the major themes of our site we always love to hear about events
like what you are planning. It would be fine for you to put a link to
Dodoland. We have just launched an issue on Love the Ozone Layer, have one
on Love the Earth and Love the Water that people can also see.
Good luck in everything.

Hi Darrow,
Thanks for your offer of support and participation. I personally will not
have art ready for you. The idea is for you (or those you empower) to come
up with art for mounting on your server. Then send us the URL for linking
to the EarthStation and KidCast Central. This should ideally be finished
before the day of the actual CU-SeeMe KidCast (4/22). It would be great if
you might host a gathering of the people whose art is on the KidCast For
Peace web sites you create. With ISDN or better access, your group could
then be part of the CU-SeeMe sharing on Earthday. They could hold up the
art they have created, and refer others to their web pages while they see
and speak with other participants around the world.
Since Macromedia is one of our supporters and maker of great storytelling
tools, I would like to get their user base involved. Any ideas?
If you look at our KidCAst site, you will see the perfect page created by
children of Croatia.
Hope that helps. We will keep you in the loop.
Peace,
-Peter-
