Darkest day
On Jan. 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the infamous Roe vs. Wade decision which made abortion legal in America.
I call the court’s ruling infamous because there is nothing to be proud in the fact our nation legalized the murdering of its own pre-born children.
In the 43 years after the court’s ruling, some 60 million pre-born children have been put to their deaths — most surely the darkest and evilest day in American history occurred on that date.
America should be ashamed of itself, because aborted pre-born children will never play in any park, never go to any school;, never enjoy a family life, will never have a future to share with another person in holy matrimony, and will never have any children of their own.
Pre-born babies are God’s gift to humanity and His children are to be protected, nourished and loved so they can be born to have a full life and a future of their very own.

‘The rebirth’
The end has started for the old crumbling hotels (Uncle Billy’s Hilo Bay Hotel, Country Club Condo Hotel and Reeds Bay Hotel) on Banyan Drive. The Hilo Bay Hotel is closing in about three weeks.
The closing of the hotels is the beginning of the rebirth of Banyan Drive. This forces the Department of Land and Natural Resources to accelerate their plans for Banyan Drive, because it will force them to immediately put out a contract for security patrols of the Hilo Bay Hotel’s empty rooms and hotel property common areas.
If there is to be one building with more than 100 abandoned rooms with a security patrol, why not three buildings with hundreds of abandoned rooms patrolled by a security firm to keep out the homeless and/or looting?
That way, the state can immediately proceed with the demolishing of three very old buildings that are not cost-effective to repair (completely rusted plumbing, deteriorated electric wires and jacks, etc., in the concrete walls) and allow the new long-term leaseholders to build new hotels on the cleared properties, recreating a beautiful Waikoloa-type resort area on Banyan Drive that could rekindle Hilo tourism and economy.
