It cost a dollar a copy and was 16 or 20 pages.<br /><br />Everybody knows the Garden Island is nothing but fluff but nobody would buy that little paper and support the outing of all the shady stuff going on around Kauai.<br /><br />He could not get any businesses to take advertising either. Eventually he used up all his savings (after about a year and a half) and went out of business. But he was just some stupid white guy, why should you show him any support?<br /><br />All you people posting comments here, why were not supporting him then? Now you cry about crooks but are you willing to actually do something to change things. NO. You'll just sit around and complain. And do nothing.<br /><br />Talk is cheap. All the worthless Hawaiians sat around and talked when some plantation owners brought in some Marines and took control of the islands. You should be ashamed to be descended from such cowardly people.<br /><br />Show you got the guts to run for office. Then you'll get in and somebody will hand you a big wad of cash to vote their way and you'll figure 'wat da hell, people don care anyway' and there ya go, slippery slope...downhill. <br /><br />It takes a very rare individual to work for a public that doesn't care and doesn't want to do anything to protect the common ground. It's time for a change. There's a way it can be done while you stick you head up you butt. But what if it involves giving up drinking beer and watching TV every night? Did you know that TV is the same as a narcotic? Same as heroin? Yup. Takes over your mind and you can't get involved with your community anymore. The rich and the powerful want it that way. They don't want you to sober up and get involved in your community. They like it just the way it is. With you quietly watching TV, half drunk, and staying in your home. And during the day go to work FOR THEM and shut up.<br /><br />OK, I'm through complaining. Go back to sleep.<br /><br />Meet da new boss, same as da ole boss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-49163375142327927262013-07-05T01:53:15.752-10:002013-07-05T01:53:15.752-10:00Im wondering if Penny Cistaro of KHS is Penny-wise...Im wondering if Penny Cistaro of KHS is Penny-wise and (dog) pound foolish. A simple google search reveals she had a record of high kill rates and poor management decisions, something that is carrying over to her current position as director of KHS. The kill rate there had doubled and they no longer allow anyone to be notified if an animal they find and turn in to be notified if they are going to put the animal down. She is already elimiating positions at the shelter that are much needed and overworking employees. Challenging the local government and local people so quickly after taking her position as director is foolish and short sighted. She needs to work together with the hunting community to garner thier respect and suppord to improve the treatment of hunting animals and the safety of the population with respect to powerful pet/gaurd dogs.<br />Who will bring some sense to this mainland interloper? School of hard knocks? Unfortunately the biggest victems will be the animals they are supposed to protect and the loyal employees trying so desperatly to help them.<br />Most transplants don't make it on this island past a year and the board of directors need to realize that if they are planning on having anyone take over the direction of the KHS long term enough to understand the local culture and build relationships with the government that supports them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-4133589535741482712013-07-04T09:53:49.496-10:002013-07-04T09:53:49.496-10:00DLNR- is where most of the dirty retired syndicate...DLNR- is where most of the dirty retired syndicate KPD cops go for their second gig.

Are they hiding something?<br /><br />What grants have been approved? What departments got tax payers dollars? Who is in charge of these departments? Was the funds allocated appropriately? Was the funding utilized for the approved grant application?<br /><br /><br />What kind of governance is this? There is no accountability.<br /><br /><br />BIG FAIL by county council! BIG FAIL by the administration!<br /><br /><br />The federal government should investigate if the funds were properly used. <br /><br /><br />We all know how gas goes missing or stolen. 1 million dollars goes missing then is miracously found. supplies are stolen for personal use. misuse of county vehicles are acceptable daily practice.

That's the place with the illegal fence blocking the ala loa trail. There is an accusation Falko Parters, next door to Lepeuli, planted bouganvilla on the ala loa trail there to help make it "disappear". The State claims a ala loa trail in Waipake as well as in Lepeuli and Kaakaaniu (Patricia Hanwright). Ask Shawn Smith if there is an ala loa trail in Waipake owned by the State (that's us).
