Subject: Re: Punalulu
As a resident of Ka'u, I want to make my wishes made known regarding the
purchase of land at Punalulu for public use.
The sacred property along the Kau coast is one of the few places left on the Big
Island that the public can experience the beauty and serenity of this area.
Don't allow the almighty dollar get in the way of a spiritual principle.
Do not allow the idea that jobs are necessary in this area, be a glittering illusion of
a quick fix for the long term issue of the transition from plantation thinking to a
more viable and healthy economy. Throwing jobs at an under educated and ego
damaged population is not the answer. Let's look for solutions that build the inner
person to encourage creativity. Why not a small business planning office to help
people use their present skills or dreamed of skills to create their dreams. This
would allow people to feel good about themselves and their community. Lets
support the physical health of the people of Ka'u by expanding the hospital. Let's
have community farming. Let's have a school for agriculture.
Sincerely,
Sherrian Witt
