SIGN HOLDING

The administration of Mayor Bryan Baptiste and Kaua'i minister Pastor Roy
"Rocky" Sasaki are joining forces Thursday in staging an islandwide sign
holding campaign aimed at showing that the community is behind the ongoing war
against the use of "ice" and other illegal drugs on Kaua'i.

The plan follows similar efforts on the Big Island and on O'ahu, and is sure to
draw hundreds of people holding signs to sidewalks and fields along Kuhio
Highway and Kaumuali'i Highway.

The sign holding is set for the day after the simulcast of filmmaker Edgy Lee's
new documentary "ICE: Hawai'i's Crystal Meth Epidemic" on the serious damage
use of the drug is doing to communities and individuals across Hawai'i. The
show airs from 7 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday evening on every major Hawai'i TV
channel.

Lee's documentary is bound to be an eye-opener, and should show a side of life
in Hawai'i that visitors and many local residents are unaware of. The "ice"
epidemic is a threat to our social fiber and to the safety of our homes,
businesses, schools and parks.

Everyone is advised to watch the special presentation.
