Toxic Village

On Aug. 6, The Garden Island ran a front-page article on the drought showing a color picture of former Gay & Robinson plantation sugar fields up to Kaumakani all dried up.

Then on Aug. 9 on page A6, TGI ran another color picture of Kaua‘i Coffee plantation on the other side of Hanapepe River lush and green.

The difference is not caused by the drought but the GMO corn companies.

Fred Dente in his two TGI op-ed articles has been right: “Kaua‘i has long been the petri dish for planet Earth,” with a laundry list of chemical soil washing. When they (the GMO companies) prepare a field for planting, they kill everything in the ground, on the ground, above the ground, and anything around or near the site. Notice in the picture no koa growing, only at Hanapepe Heights, Salt Pond and Kaumakani Village.

This defoliation is caused by spraying of herbicide, insecticide, fungicide and rodenticide. Gone are the nematodes, ants, grasshoppers, bees, songbirds, hummingbirds, chickens, doves, rats, cats, bats, dogs, etc. Drive along the highway between Hanapepe and Waimea and notice you will not see any bugs on your windshield or birds on the lines. Only in the oasis of Kaumakani village and Pakala.</p&gt; &lt;p>In those camps massive flocks of chickens during the day and cats at night destroy gardens and flower beds. Every morning when I pick up the newspaper in the driveway I smell some kind of -cide in the air.

My grandson was on the front page of TGI helping up his friend at Waimea Canyon School when they were hit twice and I removed my son from St. Theresa Kekaha before they were hit.

The chemical supervisor at the GMO in Waimea had previously put six G&R sugar employees in the clinic. This same person was spraying Roundup from the air instead of Polaris. Was atrazine used, a widely used herbicide? Moreover, is that now in Kaumakani/Pakala <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1281964244_1">drinking water?

The state DOH and county DOW does not test our well water. So who does? Surfrider Foundation? They cannot even put a trash can for all the broken glass that litters one mile east and west from the Pakala surf spot. By the way, my rent was raised to pay for the EPA suit.

Whatever happen to the $300,000 from the county? Shouldn’t somebody in the G&R accounting or administration department do some jail time before rent was raised? People on the Westside should be concerned.

When their field trucks use the road they drop mud and dirt on the road which you take home in your fenders. Is Fido or Fluffy sick? Any sores on the kids? And what about the dust? I got more dust now then when sugar was here because we did not harrow up wind after 9 or 10. Also we never used the highway but at two junctions where a water truck was stationed. The drift on the dust and chemicals is two miles.

Fred Dente is right again when he says: “Even though many of the jobs go to non-union workers on temporary work permits from Micronesia and other places, and even though most of the profits these companies make go off to corporate headquarters overseas, they have the nerve to justify their existence here by telling us how many hundreds of millions of dollars they generate in their diabolical experiments.”

Out of 300 employees at G&R only 60 were hired, of that, 30 were former supervisors. You know, the guys that can wear the same clothes for two months without getting dirty, never seen a callous on their hands, and drive around all day and never get out their trucks. Yeah, the same guys that milked and broke Lihu‘e, McBryde, Olokele and finally G&R.

We sure have had many deaths, cancers, birth defects, and a list of health horrors since GMO came our way in the last two years. I hope Kaumakani doesn’t become Toxic Village, Hawai‘i.
