Such acceptance was never given, as evidenced by a June 27, 2011 memo to current county Planning Director Michael Dahilig from state Department of Land and Natural Resources chairperson William Aila.
William Aila’s June 27, 2011 memo discredited that 2009 memo, saying it didn’t represent the position of the section regarding asserting roads and trails in Property Courted property. Thus, the state CAN claim a historic trail in Lepe’uli, or another Land Court property should it desire to do so. Aila’s memo was also signed by two Deputy Attorney Generals.
She requested a Contested Case hearing.
On Jan. 10, the lawyer for Paradise Ranch sent a letter to the BLNR communicating that the ranch would concede its license due to the long and expensive legal fight. Three days after, the Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR) invalidated the license, leaving the importance of a Contested Case moot.
However, Laymon said he’d still construct a fence. On May 21, Paradise Ranch erected a fence effectively obstructing the entry to the sidelong, coastal trail. Laymon claimed he assembled the fence outside the state Conservation District, meaning he no longer needed state acceptance. Nevertheless, some community members contest this claim, saying the fence’s place is actually within the conservation district, thus still necessitating a state license. No matter its location, Condition 6 of the SMA permit certainly says the sidelong, coastal trail cannot be blocked off.
On the night the fence was erected, May 21, 2011, Jesse Reynolds, a 28-year-old farm worker, alleged he’d been thown off a cliff above Larsen’s Strand by Bruce Laymon. Perhaps you have posed naked in public? filed a police report apparently naming Bruce Laymon as the guy who beat him up and attempted to throw him off the cliff.
Laymon denied all claims with a possible alibi, and the Kauai Police later arrested Reynolds for filing a false police report. Curiously, Nudism isn’t a religion. failed to carry on with prosecuting Reynolds. Meanwhile, beachgoers were asking Mr. Laymon why he was building the fence. Laymon allegedly answered, To keep the nudes, gays and hippy campers from the playa.
In a letter to the editor of The Garden Island newspaper Nov. 23, 2011, Waioli Attorney Don Wilson said, in reference to community activists Spacer, Hope Kallai, the Sierra Club, and other witnesses and victims of Laymon’s actions, Their bogus and misleading information regarding ancient trails, imperiled archaeological sites, alleged prohibited activities and physical violence against the community’ have been expensive to Waioli and are without merit.
Wilson punctuates his point by stating that Spacer, Kallai et al are people of self appointed status, and do not represent anyone in the community but themselves. A blatant lie as Spacer had been unanimously made a Naturist Action Committee (NAC) Region Representative as early as Autumn 2010.
Image of the illegal fence, erected on May 21, 2011, that violates Condition 6 of Paradise Ranch’s SMA permit.
Maybe Mr. Wilson is unaware of the existence of The Naturist Society, or The Naturist Action Committee, but in either case, neither Bruce Laymon nor Waioli Corporation have ever attempted to sue Spacer or anyone named above in circuit court, despite the case being an easy triumph if one considers his statement at face value. And when trespassers entered Waioli land on October 23, 2011 to shoot pictures of the alleged stone quarry activity why weren’t any of them detained?
