COMMUNITIES NEED HELP IN DRUG FIGHT

The communities of Kaua'i are calling out for help on fighting the growing,
and dangerous, threat of drug dealing and illicit drug use by both local
residents and newcomers to the Island.

The current issue of Kilauea Light, a newsletter produced by the Kilauea
Community Outreach Program, focuses on the drug problem in the Kilauea area,
and what is being done about it.

Looking back to newsletters produced by the Kilauea Plantation community
back in the 1960s and comparing the news of the day then to the news of
today, is like comparing light to darkness, even from those issues printed
at the height of the 1960s drug revolution. The Kilauea community, and many
others on Kaua'i, are up against a big drug problem and need support from
many areas.
