Negative spin

I read your article about the Maui Roller Girls and was surprised that you side with a "Newbie" just off the boat that is bringing their mainland ideals and attitudes to our island. This self proffessed SKANK trys to barge in on the rink for her personal mission to have roller derby on Maui, which I don't have a problem with but do have a problem with her tactics. She uses the radio for her attacks on the great people who devote an enormous amount of their time and energy to see to it that our children have a fun safe environment to pursue a great team sport and also open skating for the public. If the Skank had taken the time to do a little research she would find out what has gone into starting, building and maintaining the rink which is on County property and leased to the Maui Inline Hockey.
The insurance mentioned is for the Hockey players and there is a seperate policy to cover recreational skaters who come to use the rink on open skate nights. If the roller girls want fair use of a private facility maybe they should go through the painstaking steps taken to make the Maui Inline Rink a reality, instead of trying to storm in the back door using forums such as yours to accomplish what they need. They're just hurting their chances to accomplish anything with the County or any other facilitiy by bashing the people who volunteer their time and efforts for the community.
What has the Skank done in the community to be able to attack the people who donate their time to make Maui a better place for all of us? Maybe if she spent a little more time doing something constructive for the community instead of promoting her party girl attitude and rubbing people the wrong way she might just accomplish what she sets out to do.
