Dear Mr. Bobby Command and Mayor Billy Kenoi,
Thank you for your reply to Mikahala Roy’s letter. (both referenced below)
Maybe now that we have your attention, you could also address the Depleted Uranium (DU) Issue and possibly rising cancer rates on the Islands.
That is one reason I left Hawaii and am now living in Oregon.
My partner Michael McAvoy, a very respected local spiritual elder, went to the gym five days a week, was mostly a vegetarian, researched health, and spent thousands a year on vitamins, drank purified water, and ate 90% organic food, along with other natural health measures. He took care of his body. Michael died of AML (advanced Leukemia) in June 2009.
Leukemia has been linked to radiation exposure. The Girl Scout Camp is next to the Pohakuloa training area (PTA), and PTA is an admitted DU (radiation) contaminated area.
Kona and other towns are directly downwind from PTA.
Michael was required to get blood transfusions every two weeks to stay alive, (for 7 months) at the Transfusion Oncology Clinic of Kona Hospital.
As the months progressed, I noticed that the Oncology Clinic was getting busier and busier. More people from different parts of Kona were coming in with various forms of cancer for treatment. The nurses also acknowledged that they were getting a large number of new patients. They said, this could be due to the wonderful new doctor there, Dr. DeSalvo, as many could be staying on the island rather than going to Oahu for treatment.
That could be one reason, or it could be because the cancer rates are increasing in Kona, due to EMF pollution, food pollution, or other factors, or/and it could be because the Strykers are on Pohakuloa, stirring up the dust and sending it downwind into the towns. DU dust can contaminate everything in its path including the air, water, food grown locally, school yards and people. It contaminates roads as it gets tracked out on the tires of vehicles. This is no small issue as you know.
As I said, the Depleted Uranium contamination is one of the reasons I left Hawaii, along with the fact that the local government and the local media, just did not seem to care about telling the Truth about hard issues. When we were exposing the contamination, and alerting the media to the fact the Girl Scout Camp was next to the contamination.. the local newspapers response was to cover a front page story where 35 little girls and boy scouts were actually invited to visit the training center itself and play in the dirt and water. (see the link below, God Bless those children.)
US Army uses Boy and Girl Scouts in PsyOps Exercise in Hawaii – potentially exposing them to Depleted Uranium Hazards (DU) | Truth Angels News

One of my friends daughters from Holualoa, at the young age of 26, died of cancer. Three of her other class mates from that same class of 2000, had cancer, at least one other died.
Also the husband of my friend, an organic farmer from Ocean View, who was his 40′s or early 50′s, was told he had cancer two months before Michael was diagnosed, and that strong rock wall builder, a huge guy, was dead in only two months.
I think it is time to really address this DU issue, and to release the real statistics of the cancer rates in Hawaii related to the locations, find the causes, and do something to protect the people of Hawaii, regardless of the political ramifications. Just my opinion.
Oh, by the way.. if and when it becomes a very important issue personally to people, they usually don’t have the time, energy or resources to “expose” it.. because they are dealing with it. It is better to be proactive, rather than reactive. That is just my advice, with everything.
Mahalo and Good Luck,

Aloha Lisa:
As I relayed to Ms. Roy, this idea by the state to use the pier as a
parking lot is a state proposal that was discovered by our community,
brought to the county’s attention and then brought to the attention of the
state by the county. I called the state and told them our community had
some grave concerns about this proposal. The state responded by saying
that this was only one of may proposals and has pledged not to change the
use of the pier unless it first notifies the residents.
Our mayor believes there is a better use for this facility, one that is
more in tune with the idea that this is our pier and that the state only
holds it in trust for the people. We will do our best to articulate this
to state government.
Please feel free to pass this along to everyone on your Hawaii list.

Letter to the
Editor
2/02/10
‘Pay attention to the whispers lest ye shall attend to the shouts,’
is a tiny message with a powerful meaning.
How long has Kamakahonu whispered its nature and identity yet humans
continue NOT to hear? This is the ‘Eye-of-the-Turtle’, Heart of all
Hawaii (a home of God). This hallowed ground was held in sacredness
by ancestors of our distant past.
When H.T. Hayashi corporation purchased the tract of land that is
the King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel, they inherited a business
commitment formed by American Factors with the state to PROTECT the
VAST sacred, historic meaning of Kamakahonu.
The PEOPLE never left the commitment of love declared by Ahu’ena’s
restorer, and Kahu David Kahelemauna Roy, Jr.. More than 500
rallied to pray at the Hoowehewehe vigil for the well-being of
Kamakahonu, Hawaii and the world in 2007. The temple was re-
dedicated at that time in a manner acceptable to the Ancestors.
Kulana Huli Honua faced an unkind eviction from their office in
service paving the way for what happened next.
Breaking the spiritual protocol of this temple, agents of Ahu’ena
Heiau, Inc. (AHI) began to tread the sacred paehumu – where they do
not belong. This area is reserved for the spiritually chosen; the
Kahu or those of dedicated service in worship at the Hale O Lono O
Kamehameha ‘Akahi. According to the U.S. constitution, separation of
church and state is clear – a business cannot be a spiritual
practitioner.
In December of 2009, the Hale Mana was disassembled in days with
absolutely NO RESPECT – no seeking of counsel of the Kahu,
permission from the ‘Aumakua and the gods of Hawaii and NO
protection from the landholder or the state. What was torn apart
took years of meticulous planning and work followed by hours of
devoted preparation by MANY people with spiritual ceremony occurring
at each creative level.
Reported to SHPD in 2008, AHI agents began by tampering with the
Ki’i of the temple. They broke the Lana Nuu Mamao, (Oracle) then
removed two Lele (altars). These actions would have prompted their
arrest had this happened at the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican. NO
enforcement to protect the national historic landmark. NO arrests
here – for the state of Hawaii regards sacred sites as artifacts –
not living places of spiritual power that they are.
Ahu’ena Heiau was newly restored in the year 1978 when the Congress
of America passed the freedom of religions Act. We see at
Kamakahonu that freedom to practice and protect the faith of our
motherland is denied to Kanaka Maoli in Hawaii.
Kamakahonu includes the former Thurston Estate (now occupied by Paul
Allen) extends throughout the whole pier area, Kailua Bay and
Kaiakeakua Beach (now covered by a sea wall). The government
covered in cement the heart of Kamakahonu – the pahoehoe islets
where images of “turtles” appeared. Teachers of the Kailua School
brought students to SEE the turtle stone(s) when the pier yet sat
upon stilts. They were sharing the area’s great significance.
There are “turtles” in the stones in Ra’iatea and they occur again
in Fiji. In building the pier, there was controversy. Ranchers of
mauka and other businessmen were for it – Kailua families were NOT.
Although the law called for protection, there was NO advocacy for
the vestiges of sacred lands and heritage except by the families
themselves.
2010 marks the dawn of a new and unprecedented year. It’s the
bicentennial of the birth of the Nation of Hawaii formed by
Kamehameha the Great. Ahu’ena Heiau was recognized as his State
Temple and Kamakahonu, the first capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
What truth and future faces us here!
There’s no shame in standing battered in significant challenges.
Here, Kamehameha dwelled, the leader who championed an ultimate
battle – a unified Hawaii, in service to ‘the-supreme-One-without-
branches’. Here, we now dwell, kanaka maoli and all the people in
obedience and love for our Ancestors and our Highest Authority.
“E ‘oni wale no kuu pono, ‘a’ole e pau” – go on in the righteousness
I have followed, it is not finished,” Kamehameha’s words are
guidance enough for me. I call for a meeting of the human beings
representing businesses here, H.T. Hayashi, IWF-KKH, representatives
of Paul Allen’s estate, the state and county with all concerned
parties to seek PEACE in the SPIRIT of Kamakahonu. Care to assist?
The state desires to build a parking facility on the pier. We need
new, better plans for this Mecca of incredible importance to Hawaii
and the world.
