Murashige, Laura <br /> From: Carolyn [cwsapphire@earthlink.net] <br /> Sent: Sunday, June 03, 2007 8:17 AM <br /> <br /> To: counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us <br /> Subject: Yes on 169-07 <br /> To whom it may concern: <br /> I am not a native to Hawaii, but 2 visited there when I was 13 years old. My visit to the <br /> Black Sands beach was one of the highlights of my visit. It was a favorite, not only of <br /> the rest of my family, but my grandparents who had visited some twenty years prior. We all <br /> felt the magic of this beautiful spot and knew then that some day this area would become <br /> so popular that the beach itself would be in danger of development. <br /> Back then even, my parents would not allow us to take any of the sand home as a souvenir. <br /> It would spoil the beach if "everyone" took some they told us. So we took only photographs <br /> and left our footprints (in the words of John Muir). But it was the "Feeling" of the Place <br /> that stayed in our hearts. <br /> I would ask for the city to support Resolution 169-07 that would allow for the county to <br /> <br /> purchase the shoreline and adjacent lands of Punalu~u and Ninole Springs using Federal <br /> <br /> Matching Funds so it will be protected forever. <br /> Sincerely and respectfully, <br /> <br /> Carolyn <br /> ~ L <br /> _ ~ <br /> Comm, Ha ~ T~• /O <br /> Ref.
