OCEAN VIEW, Hawaii (AP) - For eight years, Tony and Sam Bayaoa have grown thousands of bright red, yellow and pink protea flowers on their farm. Then last month, Kilauea volcano opened a new vent and began spewing double the usual amount of toxic gas.

Now about 70 percent of their crop is dried, brown and brittle.

"The first reaction was—did someone poison the plants?" said Tony Bayaoa, whose two-acre farm is 35 miles from the volcano. "I've lost my livelihood."

So, what do ya want me to do? You are the one that set up shop next to an active volcano. You are the one that invested all the bucks in the enterprise. You are the one who enjoyed the profits of said enterprise. So....I ask again, what do ya want me to do?
