State seeking to evict tour boat operator from Kauai river:
By Associated Press
(Lihue-AP) -- The state is seeking to evict a tour boat operator from the Wailua River on Kauai.
The Department of Land and Natural Resources says Waialeale Boat Tours owner William Sonny Waialeale has not paid 35-hundred-dollars monthly rent for the use of state facilities since November 2000. The state says he owes a total of 108-thousand-dollars.
The state moved in March to terminate his lease.
However, Waialeale was still running tours yesterday and said he would be running them again today. He has been running boat tours to the Fern Grotto, a state park, since 1968.
Waialeale, as a Native Hawaiian, contends that the state does not own the river, the marina or the Fern Grotto. He has refused to pay rent or take his boats off the river. "
