COMMUNITY JELLED BY WEED & SEED

The Aug. 29 editorial regarding the Weed & Seed program in 'Ewa conveyed our
community's support and activism for the program. It's like the whole
community has gone through metamorphosis.

Before Weed & Seed, I felt as if I were just an individual going about my
own business surrounded by other individuals. Now, it seems as if we are all
on the same page working for the same ideals, and neighbors are working to
transform the streets into real neighborhoods.

The insight and efforts of Sen. Brian Kanno and Rep. Willie Espero to bring
the Weed & Seed program to 'Ewa/'Ewa Beach through legislation that funded
the program's expansion should be recognized. They played an important role
in bringing this successful program to our community.
