Aloha,
Thank you for your support and comments. We welcome positive or negative comments and believe that the letter "D" in democracy stands for difference, dialogue, determination, decision.
In our "Links" section you can download supporting files or visit websites providing information pretaining to blog postings.
In the Hawaiian language maluhia means "peace" or "peaceful passage". Maluhia Group is a coalition of Waimea Canyon Middle School staff, parents and community members concerned with the use of pesticide, and the agriculture of GMO crops on lands adjacent WCMS campus. This blog was created as a community forum and database to provide information about incidents of pesticide exposure to Waimea students/staff and community as well as the adverse health effects of pesticides and GMO agriculture.
About Us
Maluhia Group was formed in response to a complete failure of public agencies responsible for the regulation, monitoring, and protection of the public’s health and welfare in relation to pesticide use and G.M.O. agriculture on lands adjacent WCMS campus. State agencies have acted in an extemporaneous, insufficient, negligent manner in investigating multiple incidents of pesticide exposure as the result of drift on WCMS campus. Maluhia Group seeks legislative action creating pesticide free buffer zones, strict guidelines for pesticide use, including liability for drift, misuse and any ill health effects caused by G.M.O agricultural practices.

In a true democracy investigative findings are determined through the collection of factual evidence, not by "default".
maybe some lead poisioning ?
Why are you all just targeting Syngenta? Isn't there another company on the Lihue side of the bridge called Pride Seed? Does anyone remember when our parents were working in the plantations. All the spraying that was done back then and no one complained. Also the mosquito truck that use to come by our homes and spray clouds of chemicals to kill the bugs. If we are to get sick, it would have been from that. Not from the spray they are using now. Come on, they spray it on the highway when you are driving by. Do you stop or not pass that area because of that? I think not.
