MARTIN: Hm-hmm. That's right. CLARKSON: Okay. Any further discussion? Any further questions for the Applicant? If not, thank you. We have one person who is wishing to testify on this matter today. Please be seated. Would Jaerick Medeiros-Garcia please come forward? Please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter before the Commission today? MEDEIROS-GARCIA: Yes. Aloha everybody. CLARKSON: Excuse me, again, please introduce yourself. MEDEIRO S -GARCIA: My name is Jaerick Medeiros-Garcia. I had concerns about the tower only because the fact where I live, the Verizon tower there is growing overnight. It's a huge concern. They're building that thing overnight. The electromagnetic radiation from the 5G is super strong, you know. Brussels banned 5G from their country in the short research they did. They found that it was very harmful to the human body. So, my concern is the people that are living next to these towers, how—and the community when it's going to be building back up. The kids and stuff that come within the area of this tower, how do they know if it's going to be safe? Because when I called Department of Health in Oahu to ask who monitors the electromagnetic radiation off of this towers, and their answer to me was there's nobody in the State of Hawaii that does that. The reason for that is they don't got the equipment for it. So, right now, you know, in my community, the Verizon tower is literally growing overnight. They work on it at night so that nobody can question them. So, where is Verizon going to be when the questions come to the table about these things, you know? That's just a concern because if a country banned 5G, and this is what they are working on now, we only live on a rock. Like, you know, we gotta have consideration for the kids, the kupuna, and all that, you know, just humans. You know, it's kind of scary to think because you know the homes where I live, next to the towers, they have a humming sound through the homes. It's a humming sound, and they turn off their power in the home, and it's still humming. You know, so right now we're in talks with people to try get those towers moved, and I think you guys might want to take into consideration these things. Who is going to monitor that radiation off of those towers? So, thank you guys for your guys' time. CLARKSON: Thank you. Any questions for the AU: —Yes, I have a question for the testifier. Mr. Garcia, you mentioned that—do you live in the area? Can you show us where you live? MEDEIROS-GARCIA: No, not this area. AU: Okay. MEDEIRO S -GARCIA: I live in Hamakua, but this is the issues that we're having right now. EXHIBIT D 10
