Tommy Noyes was lamenting the rules and regulations that keep Friends of Kamalani and other volunteers from clearing the opala at the Morgans Ponds at Lydgate Park. Tommy was cruising Ke Ala Hele Makalae (got to do that after joining Salvation Army’s Janice Bond, Capt. Cathy Simon, and Marilyn Clement with their distribution of not food for the keiki at the homeless camp at Lydgate) and couldn’t help but see the “polluted water” sign that’s keeping swimmers from using the main pond (the keiki pond still has rubbish in it). And yes, the Wailua Bridge is still restricted to the lower Bryan J. Baptiste Bridge because of work being done on the main bridge due to scouring from the recent rains.
