<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Banning Alcoholic Drinking at County Beaches and Parks - B"ilI 300 <br /> 2005 AUG 21 PM 3 «t; <br /> My name is Erma Yamada. I oppose your proposed Bill 300, banning <br /> drinking at County parks and beaches, but feel it is okay at slums and <br /> senior community centers with permit, which is good. Thisis `e seconds' <br /> <br /> time the council is dictating the use of public facilities to make it easy for the <br /> police and maintenance people who don't do how and what should and can <br /> be done. <br /> <br /> Parties and barbecue cookouts at parks and beaches are organized by <br /> responsible tax paying citizens and yes they try to be aware of what goes on <br /> at the parties, but unfortunately there is no control of difference in people's <br /> <br /> personalities. The old Hawaiian style is, if you're invited for a party, you <br /> don't make pilikia for the host, or you get hauled and that's how it always <br /> was way back when. <br /> <br /> As for the underage drinking and rowdiness and public nuisance go, the <br /> responsibility lies with the person causing it and on the parents of underage <br /> <br /> problems, who should be held responsible for their ungratefuls, cited and <br /> fined to the max. There is a non-emergency police number available to get <br /> them to check the rowdiness or public nuisance. As far as identification for <br /> age - there is the ID cards. After all, discipline starts from home and not the <br /> government. <br /> <br /> <br /> You council people, make it a point to go around your community and look <br /> at what's there and what's not there to give your attention to, for the <br /> majority of all tax payers and not only the few grumblers and not to minute <br /> problems that the difference public departments can take care of and are not <br /> doing it, especially the maintenance department. <br /> <br /> I don't drink nor smoke, but I don't appreciate being told what I can or can't <br /> <br /> do by anybody, if and when I'm within reason of my behavior like a lot of <br /> our tax paying citizens who enjoy each others company often at golf <br /> tournaments. So just share food, games and music at any of the parks. <br /> <br /> Ua Mau Ke ea O/ Ka ina I Ka pono. <br /> <br /> <br /> Cf2-kt ~ (~IQ ru- cta~~ 1 <br /> <br /> Erma Yamada _ II Comm.
