All right – presentation 5b we have the Honua Ola Forrester – Stanley I want to recognize you to do the introduction. SM: I’m not sure who he is... BKK: Go ahead and state your name for the record as well, thank you. GC: Good evening. My name is Guy Cellier and I’m the forester with CN Renewable Resources and the sister company to Hu Honua is CN Renewables and I’m their forester – let me know if you can’t hear me – I enjoyed the last presentation very much, I came to the Big Island in 1996 after working on subsistence issues in Alaska for some years where there is a very well established hunter-gatherer tradition, of course, many different species and well regulated. I think the take of deer in 1996, 1995, the year before I left was 5 deer per person for the year and every year the number changed and it was a very interesting process – same with salmon and all sorts of other species. I don’t have a presentation – I’m here to answer questions. I think I’ve read the minutes of last month’s presentation by Kevin 16
