Kathy...
The entirety of this entry is not directed at you or necessarily anyone in particular on Puna Web.
You live near Onomea Bay? No, then your neighbors are not causing the problems in Waa Waa and along Government Beach Road. That's a nice area Kathy and I assumed you lived in Puna general because you’re on Puna Web, sorry. Anyhow I apologize for appearing to be such a tool, it was meant jestingly not spitefully, so there is no “attitude”. Script is black and white and does not afford tone of voice. No, I don’t want to be the Waa Waa expert because I’m not anywhere near that and would rather a present in house Waa Waa resident spoke on the thread. In-fact we waited to write anything hoping someone presently in Waa Waa would speak up. Anyhow my other half (Wao Nahele Wahine) remained silent as she has yet to write anything in here so I spoke up after she mentioned this thread to me.
I’m going to state this because I’ve seen many negative ignorant comments made about Waa Waa (I’m not saying it’s you Kathy because it isn’t) and also because the people of Waa Waa are fed up with the abuses that occur around and in Waa Waa. The people in Waa Waa may live off-grid but many do so out of respect for our environment preferring to live a low impact life style and to do our part in lowering our destruction on the planet. Granted some are in Waa Waa to simply stay as far away from normal societal lifestyle people but they are not necessarily kooks. Anyhow, I can’t pretend to know why everyone who lives in Waa Waa lives there, but there is largely a common thread.
Waa Waa appears to be a largely vacant abandon development in the midst of nowhere hidden deeply by the forests only because we have a low occupancy level and large parcels that are heavily filled with jungle type vegetation, but in fact it is merely a few to 10 minutes from regular developments depending on how hard you drive the road. We are fed up with people dumping garbage and criminal evidence near or in the development and want people to know that we are working hard to catch them and we will soon enough begin to nail everyone who does something illegal in our area via the use of high tech monitoring equipment, that will begin as soon as I get out there and install the equipment or get a neighbor to get things rolling, no more funny business will be tolerated.
Now as far as theft, it’s on the incline not only in Waa Waa but in Hawaii General and across the Main Land U.S. largely because of the economic times. But I would not cite that Waa Waa has anymore house Burglary than the other developments (nor even about Onomea Bay) but I know that a high percentage of people are caught when trying to commit robbery in Waa Waa even in some cases long before they get near a house. So in that respect even bringing up theft is pointless unless you’re going to also note the higher apprehension rate and residents recognition abilities (most developments are not filled with people who know everyone else because they are too large). We do appear to have more than our fair share of dumping type activities occurring outside the development because outside folks think it is a remote hidden place and no-one will see them dump whatever it is they are dumping (that’s going to change). People from Waa Waa often remove the trash along the roadway only to find that new trash appears the very next day. (My sympathies to the Shipman’s for blocking the beach road through their property but we don’t have another access luxury in Waa Waa) Trash dumping mostly occurs just beyond Honolulu Bay as they know if they get to Waa Waa and dump it, they may get busted but that hasn’t stopped the worst type dumping from occurring in Waa Waa, crime evidence dumping (burnt cars with human remains and rape victims and dead bodies etc, done in the dark of night and one during the day, we’ve had enough of that and have had to close our beach access road down). Anyhow, the Mango Grove Forest and the Nanawale Forest reserve surround Waa Waa east, west respectively and people need to be aware that the folks in Waa Waa pick up the messes created as do the folks who live in the Mango Grove forest region. We are not recluses or freaks living with noisy generators etc and most have every creature comfort you’ve got in the powered subdivisions, including full electricity (via solar or generators), water and complete wireless and satellite communications. You don’t need wires and pipes to be fully modernized as all of that stuff comes from somewhere and it isn’t all from some non-onsite re-creatable source.
Anyhow, Waa Waa is a subdivision currently stuck between a rock and a hard place because we don’t want a paved road but we need something to stop this general attitude that the area is a free for all with regard to dumping. There are reliable sound solutions to this problem and they will be addressed soon enough.
E ho'a'o no i pau kuhihewa.
