Kamehameha Schools. Laniva is a kindergartener; Paliku is in the fifth grade. I didn't know
<br />about this, so I'm kind of frazzled, because I just found out, which is worrying in and of itself
<br />that we parents at the school don't know. I stayed up last night and did the hours that my
<br />kindergartener is going to spend within a quarter mile radius of this tower. It's like 25,000 hours
<br />by the time she graduates, and that's nothing compared to, you know, the momma in this room
<br />whose keiki live right there, so. I know that Mr. Tomlinson came up and talked about how a
<br />current body of scientific evidence at the Hawai` i Department of Health, the WHO, American
<br />Cancer Society say there's no links or there is not enough linkages to adverse health effects, but
<br />for some reason there is enough evidence for cities and counties in the European Union. You
<br />have the UK, and Ireland, and in Italy, in Switzerland, in Belgium, we have entire countries
<br />thwarting the spread of this kind of—the expediting this kind of technology. Australia, Russia,
<br />Netherlands. We have hundreds of doctors who have signed the 5G appeal. To quote them, they
<br />"take all reasonable measures to halt [the SG] RF and EMF [RF -EMF] expansion until
<br />independent scientists can assure that [the] total radiation levels caused by RF and EMF [RF -
<br />EMF] (5G together with 2G, 4G, 3G, WiFi [2G, 3G, 4G, and WiFi] will not be harmful for [EU--]
<br />citizens especially infants and children [infants, children...]."
<br />We have a body of scientists from over 40 countries that have signed the EMF scientist appeal,
<br />so we do have evidence apparently in some places saying that there is a link to adverse health
<br />effects. And, then we're also told that health concerns will not be included in the decision to, to
<br />grant this permit, and I cannot tell you the frustration that I feel with that. We have a radio tower
<br />in Pepe`ekeo. We live about a half mile from Alala, Pu`u`alala, and that tower was originally
<br />just a radio tower, and literally overnight, workers worked overnight, and they installed panels
<br />and expansions, and there's no input from the community. There seems to be no oversight when
<br />we asked Civil Defense to come out and speak to our community. They cannot tell us who it is
<br />expanding the tower, what's going on, so just once it goes up, how do we, you know, manage
<br />how it expands, you know?
<br />So, these are just some of my concerns and if itit just, it's just frustrating that maybe property
<br />values is gonna to have a larger voice in this than the health of our children, which is just crazy
<br />to me, but I just want to end and just, you know, ask you guys to consider that, and with the
<br />words of Celine Fremault. She's the administer of the government in Brussels, Belgium who
<br />was the first city to ban 5G, and she says we cannot leave anything to doubt. So, mahalo for
<br />your time.
<br />RAFFIPIY: Mahalo.
<br />ACASIO: Aloha, my name is Laura Acasio. I found out about this less than a week ago. I
<br />strongly oppose approval of this permit. I'm speaking for hundreds, maybe thousands of people
<br />that were not informed at Kamehameha Schools and their families and their children. I'm also
<br />speaking for myself and my two keiki who attend. It is extremely alarming to me—but I'll do
<br />my best not to cry that the KS community and their safety committee, including all of their
<br />po`o kumu, their communications department, etcetera knew nothing of this proposal, this permit
<br />application. That is not informed. That is not consulted. That is not anything democratic.
