FEE-OE 99 12:39 FROM:POSTNET 8089592344 TO:%lE912 PFGE:O2 Letter to Editor In respoona to Governor Cayetano's call for the ban of firevorks IHonalulu Advertiser 1-6-99) in which be described the aituaUna as utter O&M, and stated that the acrid woke left his hoarse with respiratory problems. Be tbeo gays the problem is vast severe on tieha, and prvbibitica tight not be necessary on the Neighbor Islands. jr. Cayetasu I have been a resident and bomeowaer in Bawaii for 19 years. Hxplomvn were going off two weeks prior to lei Years Eve, and even ouw at times late at night in gay area, Puna, m the Big Island. It looked like a total war zone. Fireworks were thrown at my animals, at 3:45 as law Team my hoe served to explode into a huge fireball. I actually thought my house was an fire. later that morning I found that an aerial bad been stuck between a concrete slab and my front stairs. Perhaps the reason for thin was to bum data my hove. Ve already have a Bealth Baard an the Rig island with an wUve volcano that emits Vag. Ve are also an water catchaeat system By rain gutters mud roof were loaded eith dehris. The Cancer cauriag stoke and hale as well an the noxious odor lingered for days. Two of my animals fled and have not returned to date 11-21-99). Five of then bad horrible respiratory problem and their eyes look like little holes of blood. 8y vet bill has well exceeded s288.e8 and the animals are utill an medication. By an health has also been very much affected, coughing blood, bloody am, respiratory problems, ringing in my ears, plus SBITTCHER MM. Tell me, where is the unity in all of this. The Police want Fireworks banned. The Fire Chief wants them banoed, and so do most of the citizens. Gave we as a society become to regressed that we no longer bave any concern for each other, our animal friends, or our environment? It's a sad situation when you hear T.Y. and radio annouacnects to tramgailize our pets to keep them from becoming traumatized. Shame on ua, what has become of our sanity.' Who has the right to impose such legalized inexdty as another Wain, animal or our environment? To those of you who are camoerned about your bealth, healtb of loved ones, the animals, birds and tie environment, we all breathe these cancer causing toxic fuses, lathing abort of a total Fireworks ban on all Islands will do. Do out sit idly by, far we all pay the price with our healt.b. I suggest a Five Killion Dollar Class Action Lawo ut against the State of Bavaii, and all monies going to The Ronald Monald House. John Deny Felix, I commend you for your boldness stating as television am that the pro Fireworks lobbyist are very well funded and organized. Who is getting the payoff? gas oar thinking become so twisted, our moral standards w lov, that we do not have the fortitude to take a stand against legalized Insanity? If there is not a total ban of Firevorks then 1999 is just a foretaste of what the year 20% rill be. Lets work together for a quiet peaceful year 2888 for all including the enviroomeot and our aniv:il friends. Listed below are the address for the T.V. programs 60 Kinutes and 28.28. Perhaps tbey my be willing to investigate this natter further as our on legislature s ~a to he doing nothing about it. Talk is cheap, lets have acboo.
