The number of fatal accidents is rising faster in <br /> Hawaii then anywhere else in the nation. The newest data out shows that fatal crashes in Hawaii, alcohol related, <br /> have continued to increase with the Big Island leading the way. <br /> People come to Kona to vacation, they stay at the resorts they need a safe highway to get to town on. Recentty a <br /> young Japanese couple were hit in their car and the husband was killed. Leaving his bride of only a day with <br /> multiple broken bones and a ruined life when a driver tried to get around a truck and crushed their little rental car. <br /> We bike on that road and we die on it. Multiple members of the bike club have been hit by vehicles driving in the <br /> shoulder as if it were an extra lane. This occurs daily and seems not to be hafted by police. When the vehicles <br /> come over a rise and come upon a biker the results have been fatal. <br /> I know this because my husband is a Kona physician, one who has often been unable to get to the hospital <br /> promptly when called in an emergency because of the traffic. Norm felt that it was too high a risk to be on call at <br /> Kona Hospital when we live right in Kona. He has stopped practicing for fear of being unable to reach a patient in <br /> time. One less physician for Kona at a time when they were and are still critically short staffed. <br /> Development helps us move forward bringing us the tools to grow but development without proper planning sets <br /> us back making the island a less desirable, devoid of native life, more expensive and tragic legacy to leave to our <br /> children. <br /> Please support the veto. <br /> Regards, <br /> Ann Goody <br /> Three Ring Ranch Exotic Animal Sanctuary <br /> PO Box 1248 <br /> Kealakekua, HI 96750-1248 <br /> fax 808-331-8773 <br /> animals@threeri ngranch.org <br /> www.threeringranch. orq <br /> Comm.
