Hannah and David Nardlnl <br /> Life time residents of the Big Island p 1 tp i 1 <br /> <br /> Subject: Fireworks <br /> r <br /> This past New Year was very stressful and Unhealthy for me, my 73 year old mother with heart <br /> problems and our dog Lani. <br /> The law said fireworks can be used between 9 pm New Years eve to lam New Years day. <br /> Aerial fireworks were illegal, and police department was going to have enough police to cite <br /> violators Well let me tell you that this was not what happen] <br /> <br /> Fireworks started from New Years eve early afternoon till 5:1 Sam New Years day then <br /> continued again at midmorning of New Years day until 7 pm. Smoke was coming into our <br /> house that we had every window and door closed. My mother was having a hard time <br /> breathing. The sound of popping and explosions was spooking our dog. And in the early <br /> morning hours of New Years day, the Intermittent outburst of fireworks kept us from sleeping <br /> throughout the early morning. <br /> <br /> There were fireworks that flew! High enough to have the debris many times falling In our yard <br /> and on our house! This was a real fire hazard. Both aerials and thrown fireworks landed in <br /> dry grass that very LUCKY didn't catch fire. If it did, our house would be endangerodl <br /> <br /> A group of young people were having a party along Komohana Street, throwing fireworks on <br /> the street making cars come to a stop at times I seen the police patrol cars pass the party <br /> three or four times At 4.45am, I called the police to report fireworks, loud talking, drinking on <br /> the public roadway. The 911 lady was very nice in taking all the information but the police <br /> never camel So this sends a good signal to these type of fireworks user that they can <br /> disregard the law! <br /> In closing, my mom and I are asking you to help us, to-ban all sales of all types of fireworks. <br /> This Is the year 2000! Its time all of our lawmakers act Immediate and responsible! <br /> Also, the police have got to do their job. When they see any fireworks use, they must issue a <br /> citation. And it should be policy, the beat policeman can not choose to disregard this laws <br /> <br /> <br /> Aloha <br /> <br /> <br /> David C.
