LIHU‘E — In December of last year, heavy winter rains closed the road to Polihale State Park, and when state officials said it could take years to fix the damage, Westside volunteers stepped up to the plate, volunteering time, equipment and money to have the park reopened in weeks instead of years.
The Kaua‘i County Council on Wednesday honored the volunteers, who were organized by Westside community leader Bruce Pleas and others.
Pleas e-mailed The Garden Island a list of those who contributed to the effort.
