Aloha,
Bradley,
November 10, 2010
As per our conversation last evening, I would like to make an official report to
Guy Enriques, regarding the fall I took yesterday on Old Government Road
during the tour of that road. I was walking the road with long pants, and
sneakers when my left foot slid on some gravel, causing me to land on my right
knee. This tore my new jeans and left my right knee quite bloody where it
landed on the gravel. It is very sore today, and so are my back and neck from
the jolt. There were at least two witnesses to this fall (Liz 5tabo and Bill
Forster), and it was reported verbally to Mr. Enriques and Mr. Onishi, as well
as to the County Council Hearing in Naalehu, which followed the site
inspection.
I did want to let Hawaii County know about this because of the fact that this
is a public road which has not been maintained at all, and is as such a liability.

If I had been injured more than I was, a doctor or hospital bill might have
been presented to the County. I was thinking to myself, what if I had gone
down into the lower part of the road where it's impassible by vehicle, walked
out to the lava flow and had broken an ankle? Could the EMT's have reached
me there?This concerns me both as a taxpayer, and as a hiker. This road must
be closed to the public until it is properly maintained by the county; or until a
decision is reached concerning the ownership of the road. Thank you for
registering my complaint.
Sincerely,
Eileen Forster
