First, let me start my statement by saying that I don't give a "flying rats ass" about
your petty marijuana wazs!!! All I care about is raising our son in a healthy, happy
environment, free from chemical poisons, noise pollution, and over crowding.
When we moved out here a yeaz or so ago it was to get away from the above
mentioned challenges. Imagine my dismay to hear of an all out war going on right
here in paradise. Last year, July 1996, sometime, my son and I were out playing
in the yazd on a beautiful summer's day when all of the sudden our peace and
tranquillity was shattered by several helicopters flying over the subdivision. Now,
I would not have thought twice about it, but I noticed that they were not just flying
over the azea but they were making a systematic checks through out the day, the
noise pollution that was produced by these menaces was almost unbearable to me,
but to my son's delight he was happy to watch for the rest of the day until it came
time to take his nap. This, of course, was impossible because the noise pollution
was too loud!!!!!
The next day again we were outside enjoying the day, when again our peace was
shattered by helicopters. This time however I noticed a tether line and some sort of
ball attached to it, from my yard I could see several helicopters and something
being spared from the helicopter with the tether and ball I grabbed my son and
tried to get inside but it was to late, we had both been exposed to whatever they
were spraying I could feel a mist settling on my skin!!! Two days after this
incident I was admitted to Kona Hospital Emergency Room THROWING UP

BLOOD! ! ! ! ! The doctors could not give me an adequate explanation as to why this
had happened to me. My son also became sick for over a week. When I came
home and r; ~uperated, I started calling different groups who might be involved in
the spraying, no one would take responsibility. All they would offer is "it's not
us". I hoped this would be the last time I would see them, but over the next
12 months, it felt like we were in a war zone -raped from the privileges of
peace and enjoyment that we deserve living here in Hawaii' nei.
Now to the next challenge at hand, I have read and been told that these helicopters
CANNOT FLY BELOW 100 feet, but time and time again I have seen them
hovering between 50 to 100 above the ground. I don't understand this!!! RULES
ARE MADE FOR EVERYONE not just a select few. Also, since when are
helicopters allowed to land at street corners and private roads I have also seen this
with my own eyes!!!!!
Now for my biggest complaint of all, when a child is sleeping they should be
allowed the sleep of babes, but this is not so here. Their sleep is shattered by
obnoxious flying noise-makers disguised as helicopters flying all day over the roof
tops of our homes and spraying some kind of !@#$#@%^$#!@ chemical to
pollute our water supplies, not to mention killing birds and animals in their
wake!!!!!
Someone needs to take responsibility for these insidious acts against us, the birds,
animals, water supplies, plants and the forest. We are all being exposed and no
one knows the long term negative ramifications that these chemicals have in our
systems. If these chemicals are as harmless as these groups say, have someone
from their organization climb into a vat of this stuff and bathe because that is what
happens when they fly over and spray polluting our water catchments. Also, those
,w-
with families are being depriving their children of nap time with air shattering
noise pollution'!!!!!! This is a major problem and it needs to come to light so that
+he people involved are brought to justice and made to take responsibility for their
actions, and not allowed to say "ITS NOT US!".
