Surfers want access restored
HAWAI'I KAI — Residents want the city to reopen a beach accessway used by surfers in trouble off the rocky coastline of the popular spot called China Walls.
The city closed the accessway six months ago because it was deemed unsafe.
But surfers and others say the closure in itself presents a safety issue. They say the access is vital as a "safety valve" for ocean goers who get into trouble, and allows them to safely get out of the water into a small cove in the steep, rocky cliffs...
Whether it's Kailua Beach or in Hawaii Kai, this is a tragedy waiting to happen... and why? Largely because some selfish homeowners value their exclusive "private" beach access over the public's safety.

Hi, the link above takes me to the star advertiser home page rather than the article. I really want to use this article to back up a research paper I am doing for school. Do you happen to have the URL to the actual article?
