IN SUPPORT OF A BIKEWAY BETWEEN WAIMEA AND KEKAHA, KAUAI.

WHEREAS, bicycling is not only a popular form of recreation in Waimea and Kekaha, but also a respectable mode of transportation among a significant number of adults as well as young people who use bicycles for traveling to and from work, school and shopping; and

WHEREAS, sufficient rights-of-way along Kaumualii Highway between Waimea and Kekaha presently exist for a bikeway project; and

WHEREAS, the present highway in this area is posted for 50 mph, thus discouraging inexperienced and non-confident bicyclists from sharing the roadway with high speed motor vehicles; and

WHEREAS, the provision of a safe bikeway between Waimea and Kekaha will increase safety for present bikers and encourage others to bicycle along that route; and

WHEREAS, one of the top priorities for Kauai County in the State Bikeways Master Plan is a bikeway between the towns of Waimea and Kekaha; and

WHEREAS, the goals and objectives adopted by the County Council for the years 1979-80 includes: 1) the implementation of the State Bikeways Master Plan, and 2) the achievement of energy self-sufficiency and a sound transportation system; and WHEREAS, the encouragement of bicycling is consistent with and supportive of the federal, state, and county priority of energy conservation; and

WHEREAS, there are federal monies available for bikeways and matching funds available in the County's bikeway fund; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Tenth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 1980, that it endorses the Waimea-Kekaha Bikeway project and wholeheartedly supports the Administration’s application for federal funds Page______

to build such a bikeway; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be transmitted to U. S. Senators and Spark M. Matsunaga; U. S. House of Representatives Daniel K. Akaka and Cecil Heftel; Governor George R.

WHEREAS, one event is the current staging of a play titled, "Big Boys Don't Cry", with a cast composed of men imprisoned in Oahu State Prison; and

WHEREAS, "Big Boys Don't Cry", written as a comedy, depicts the life of a typical inmate from childhood; and

WHEREAS, the play, judged to be a successful endeavor, has given its participants the opportunity to demonstrate their talent and skills; and

WHEREAS, the play gives its audiences insight into events which have influenced the development of prisoners and their feelings about their life situations; and

WHEREAS, the play is an example of prisoners taking advantage of an opportunity to develop skills and master talents while incarcerated and to maintain direct communi- cation with the community outside of prison; and

WHEREAS, much of the success of the play was due to the hard work and perseverance of its writer and director, Tremaine Tamayose, who spent countless hours rehearsing and planning performances with the participants; and WHEREAS, another event which encourages prisoners to rehabilitate themselves and become useful members of society is a pottery-making program; and WHEREAS, several prisoners have developed their crafts­ manship in pottery making as members of the Kalihi-Palama Culture and Arts Prison Ceramics class conducted with the cooperation of the Hawaii state correctional facilities and taught by Mary Ellen Hancock; and

WHEREAS, an exhibit of the pottery is being displayed in the State Capitol; and

WHEREAS, the success of this program is exemplified by the high quality of products being made by the groups of prisoners; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Tenth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 1980, that rehabili­ tation programs such as the staging of "Big Boys Don’t Cry" and the pottery class be encouraged; and
