how it relates to bigger issues on Kauai -- including problems with
wealthy homeowners blocking public access on the Garden Isle:
"... Ham Young is in a legal fight with actor Pierce Brosnan, who owns
property in Wainiha Valley on the north shore. Brosnan, according to
Ham Young, owns several ponds that divert water from her family's
generations-old taro farm. (Brosnan's attorney says the ponds are
legal.)
"The island roils with stories of the rich buying and closing off easy
access to Kauai's prime spots, including long stretches of waterfront.
Many of the old dirt roads and foot trails leading to beaches no longer
exist or have been legally blocked by new landowners.
"All along Kauai's east shore, Huff, with her aunties in the back seat,
slows her truck to point out beaches where she used to play and swim.
'Private Property' and 'No Trespassing' signs hang between swaying palm
trees..."
Say it ain't so -- 007 is a villain on Kauai?! We're also hearing
stories about similar battles on the Big Island. As we've said before,
it's time for State-wide action.
