where cell phones aren't, there are land lines or where they aren't land lines, there are cell
<br />phones. So, maybe we don't need total cell phone coverage on the islands when we could get a
<br />combination of cell phone and that land line coverage, and maybe that's the smartest thing for us
<br />as a human species to look at going forward with this technology that we don't really know how
<br />it affects us.
<br />When the lava started flowing a couple years ago, I went and got a cell phone because I knew my
<br />girls back in the US would want to know what was going on with me cause Fissure 8 is about
<br />two miles from my home. And, I opened up the manual so I could figure out how to use my cell
<br />phone, and in my 35 -page manual, there are about five pages that told me about the operation of
<br />the cell phone, and the 30 remaining pages were warnings, warnings about the cell phone.
<br />That's just a cell phone. We're talking about towers. Thank you for your time. Aloha.
<br />RAFFIPIY: Thank you, ma'am.
<br />MALMGREN: Hi guys, my name is Kevin. I am a new resident to HPP. This is my first
<br />meeting here. Just to give a little story, I visited the Big Island on Thanksgiving in 2019 with my
<br />fiance. After spending eight days here, we came back to the mainland, sold all of our stuff and
<br />just arrived here last month cause we fell in love with this place, the people, the culture, and
<br />everything that's here, and we are currently in escrow for a property in HP&P [sic]. So, I found
<br />out about this today through a Facebook message and a post and I was like all right, I'm going to
<br />show up. So, my mother grew up—my mother having cancer; my grandfather passed away of
<br />cancer; my grandmother passed away of cancer; and two aunts who were both diagnosed with
<br />breast cancer; and my niece was born with a cancer and had to go through chemotherapy before
<br />the age of one. So, I'm very sensitive to this issue, and when I see what's going on in San
<br />Francisco where I moved from, I see that there's 5G towers on every single block in the city, and
<br />these blocks are right in front of apartments that have lots of people in them. And, when pressed
<br />by Congress, by these big telecommunication corporations, what are the long-term effects of 5G
<br />on people, they have no response, because no testing has been going on to determine this, and I
<br />think that's really telling. And, if there is no accountability of what is going on this tower, and
<br />they can do whatever they want as soon as it's up, that's really scary to me, and I think it's really
<br />scary—it's a very scary thing to the community as well, and I think it's really telling that
<br />everyone that showed up today has a certain viewpoint, and no one showed up to support this
<br />tower from the community, and I think that's really important to point out as well.
<br />Now, we talked about the health implications of the American Cancer Society saying that, you
<br />know, it's not bad but you know what? The American Cancer Society is just one organization
<br />and maybe they are the biggest around, but more people have cancer than ever so I'm not sure
<br />how good of a job they are actually doing at that. So, I think maybe more, some independent
<br />research should be checked and looked into before we refute claims about that.
<br />Just to, just say I'm really impressed with all of your guys fairness so far. I'm really happy that
<br />you guys are open to listening to the community on this. Just moving to HPP, I wanted to point
<br />out there's a school that when I purchased, if I knew there was a cell tower there, maybe I would
<br />have not purchased in HPP. I might have just skipped it and went on further. So, is there an
<br />impact on properties? Maybe, cause I know I, it would have made a huge impact for me, and
