<br /> x <br /> OVER COMMERCIALIZATION: Exploiting the Waipio Valley Lookout area is just <br /> another verse in the same old sad song. Take the last remaining sites and open them to <br /> anything a tourist will buy. Destroy the very thing that makes it special. It is painfully <br /> obvious to every resident of this community that jobs are desperately needed. But REAL <br /> jobs with real opportunities for economic stability and growth are the answer. <br /> Sacrificing the mans is pan of the problem, not part ojthe solution. <br /> Honestly, we could go on at length about the tragedy being contemplated here. Instead, <br /> let us simply state this: <br /> As taxpayers, we object to putting the county in a position of liability. <br /> As residents, we do not want a "tourist trap" atmosphere to encroach on the <br /> natural beauty of the area. This area should be set aside from such activity. <br /> As friends and neighbors, we are deeply concerned about the safety and well- <br /> being of community members and visitors alike as personal injury becomes a <br /> more likely threat with ever-increasing congestion. <br /> As human beings, we are deeply saddened at the threat of commercializing such a <br /> spiritual site, and of losing the sense of sanctuary unique to this azea. <br /> Please. im r you to preserve the integrity of this unique site. <br /> ~~Gti~L~~ <br /> l./ 11 <br /> Doug drews Diana Andrews <br /> <br />
