hundred eighty feet of a proposed tower in the midst of cows, macadamia nut trees, avocado trees, banana trees, coconuts, and papaya trees. That no longer makes it country. My mother, who is a breast cancer survivor, she and we did not ever expect that our home would be in such close proximity to something that would ever be possibly emitting microwaves, radio waves, whatever kind of waves that might jeopardize us or by something that could possibly cause cancer or pose a risk to her family and our children. We're just regular people like you guys, and I feel like looking at the map that they put up and them saying that we're living in a low-density population area, that we don't matter. So, let's place the cell tower where other, other people wouldn't want it in their back yard, and I'm here to tell you that we do matter. We're mothers, we're fathers, and children, and contributing members of the community. We matter, too. And I hope that you find it in your hearts to believe that we matter. MANEJA: That's my daughter, and I'm Clarita Maneja. I'm speaking on behalf of my family and myself. I strongly disagree with the proposed construction of the cell tower in Kea`au. My residence is just a few hundred feet away from that proposed location. I'm retired and I love gardening. I spend most of my waking time outside. I plan to spend the rest of my life in the community that is free from the dangerous emissions from that tower. Cell phones are good; we have good signal too. I use one. However, I think that they should look, the AT&T, for a different site that is not so close to a neighborhood. Thank you. RAFFIPIY: Thank you very much. CLARK: Mr. Chairman, given the number of people who asked me to speak on their behalf, I have one more comment. This is an Ilocano community, Iwasaki Camp. It's one of the last ethnic camps left. I have lived next door to Ilocano's for most of my life and one of the main reasons why most of these people were not aware of this tower and why they aren't here today is you probably all know that the Ilocano work ethic is practically insane. I wasn't able to communicate with a lot of them because if the sun is up, they're out working. We did our best, but given notification and the incorrect notification, just honor these people and their work, and what they've contributed to this Island and this State. RAFFIPIY: Thank you very much. Do we have any questions from the Commission? All right, the next following individuals please come forward --Eunice Harbottle. AUDIENCE MEMBER: She left for work. RAFFIPIY: Cheryl Cobile. W. ELLWOOD (from audience): She had to go back to work also. RAFFIPIY: Maria Cobile. W. ELLWOOD (from audience): She is 86 years old and had to go home and take a nap. RAFFIPIY: Jaerick Medeiros-Garcia, Lauretta Bentosino, Julie Murcia, Julie? Do we have James Rusch? I think he deferred time to Mr. Clark. Kirk Weston? EXHIBIT C 16
