<br /> t July 23, 1997 <br /> re: Resolution No. 114-97 - A Resolution Relating to the Preservation <br /> of Hunting Rights in Hawaii <br /> I am Isaac Fiesta, Jr. and I am here today on behalf of the ILWU Local <br /> 142, to testify in favor of Resolution 114-97, which is a Resolution <br /> relating to the Preservation of Hunting Rights in Hawaii. <br /> With the closure of three sugar companies along the Hamakua Coast <br /> and in Ka'u within the last 2-i/2 years, our dislocated sugar workers <br /> have had to deal with the lase of their jobs, loss of income and the <br /> added stress of worrying about what it is doing to their families. <br /> Some of these dislocated workers have had to turn to hunting and fish- <br /> ing as a means of providing for themselves and their families. However, <br /> in order for these hunters and fishermen to adequately provide for <br /> their families, they need to be allowed access to areas where they can <br /> hunt and fish. <br /> We therefore ask for your full support of Resolution 114-97. <br /> Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to share our views. <br /> ~ <br /> 1+eI. r~~. <br /> t <br /> Red. ~L <br /> <br />
