Here we go again, the circus is innocent though mostly the same people are on the Boards of VGS and HVC. Both organizations are linked through VGS's purpose of giving it's proceeds to HVC. Maybe VGS could shed a light if secretary Graham ever gets around to publishing their "comment" as he announced months ago.
The new interim director Dena Smith forgot to mention that the complaints resulted from neighbors losing enjoyment of their homes through the traffic of hundreds of cars and the noise pouring out of SPACES's open pavilion into the subdivision during the twice a week performances as well as other loud events. The so called "vindictive efforts" of "several local residents that have repeatedly waged complaints against SPACE" could have been mitigated long ago if SPACE had made efforts to change the relationship into something other than confrontation. But of course that would involve a lot of work and require a flexible and understanding attitude, not a 'my way or the highway' mentality.
Funny also, most people in Seaview did not know about the free ice, water and food after the storm. There was neither anything posted on the bulletin boards nor were the usual "SPACE event" road signs set out to let people know of these generous offers. Was this outpour of 'assistance' an internal affair for fans only?
JB Water Hauling was highly visible in Seaview's Front park offering free water, food and other items (big Mahalo!)
Hopefully "community connection and communication" improves and SPACE will finally truly "serve the local community" with needed services instead of bringing hundreds of paying visitors to their shows for their own financial benefit.
