County’s drug response effort
- Dr. McKenna opens can of worms
- Mayor jumps in can, and tells us there is a plan, well really, it’s being worked on.
Here are the facts.
- The Drug Action Team – a committee
- The Ice Task Force – really an ice enforcement task force that’s in the police department
- If you can come up with a valid drug prevention component, you can apply for a grant.
- Doctors don’t like to see people get their brains beat out so don’t
recommend boxing.
Gee, thanks, Mr. Mayor, we needed this. But please tell us what the Kaua‘i Community Drug Response Plan is and what has been implemented. We don’t want you to buy a piece of land and build a building and then try to figure out what to do about the drug problem. Hospitals and doctors have been doing that for a long time. If you have a valid drug prevention component in any of your plans we would sure like to hear about it.

Emergency kokua
Last Tuesday night, my husband, Rob, suffered a sudden, fatal heart attack while playing tennis at Hanalei Bay Resort. I wish to personally thank everyone who has helped me get through this terrible ordeal. The staff at Hanalei Bay Resort was so supportive and wonderful-from locating me, helping me to cope with the tragedy, and offering me a place to spend some time with Rob before he was taken away. The paramedics were extremely professional and caring, the police department, Betty from Hospice, the staff at Kauai Memorial Gardens and everyone else I came in contact with showed so much support and compassion in my time of need. Our friends, Dennis and Chris Toth were there for me whenever I needed someone to cry with. In fact, this entire island has showed me so much love and compassion, I realize this is why Rob and I chose it to be our “second home”. Thank you to anyone else I forgot to mention who I cried to during my time of need.
