Enough already
Mayor Harry Kim, it’s time for you to step in and take some affirmative action in the North Kona water crisis and for some heads to roll in the Department of Water Supply.
The people in charge have stumbled along for years letting the system degenerate. They seem to have no plan of action, no spare parts and no seeming ideas of how to fix things.
Nevermind, wasting money hiring consultants, we need people in charge who know what to do and how to run a department. Obviously, the ones there now don’t.
On another point, hire sub contractors with safe and secure equipment to pull pumps. And, as for the cost of that dropped pump they have liability insurance to cover it.

Kudos to ‘Touch a Truck’ organizers
I have to congratulate Kuleana Education and Kona Commons for the wonderful event, “Touch a Truck,” they held on Aug. 12. It was terrific to share the excitement of the children and the feeling of community spirit that prevailed.
We need to continue supporting these events, for the good of the people of Kona.

One of the things I look forward to seeing in the daily paper are the pictures of “Island Life,” from the beautiful scenery of the west side of the island, some of the places to which I’ve never been, to the beautiful flowers and animals that share our daily lives.
Mahalo to all who share a very important part of living in West Hawaii.
