KICKING 'ICE' TAKES THE EFFORT OF MANY

Mahalo nui loa to the print, radio and TV media for their generous and urgently
needed contribution in providing full coverage to this vitally important
community issue. Edgy Lee's chilling portrayal brings it all home in "Ice:
Hawaii's Crystal Meth Epidemic."

Now it is up to each of us throughout the state, to step up to the plate and do
our part to rid these islands of this scourge. Many thanks to Sen. Daniel K.
Inouye for working to provide more than $8 million in initial funding for many
types of projects now ready to go on Hawaii Island, and to Gov. Linda Lingle
and Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona for taking it statewide.

And above all, thanks to Mayor Harry Kim and Billy Kenoi.

Now that's ohana. Let's all "kick ice."
