my primary first things, is to move that, those censuses blocks and there are two or three <br /> little ones, that you have to zoom into to actually see, into District 4. Which brings the <br /> numbers of District 4, up even more. And so there would need to be some juggling. <br /> However, I really felt that that was one thing that had to be tended to. Today, having been <br /> given insights by Ms. Ford about the trails and zooming in, and cultural sensitivities, I've <br /> got to zoom out further and see what trails there are. Because from Wao Kele o Puna, <br /> north of Wao Kele o Puna, is where I was putting the line. And I know that there are <br /> hunting trails, other trails, and there might be older Hawaiian trails. However, there's that <br /> big crack that separates the two districts. And so, when I was thinking about that before <br /> we heard from Ms. Ford today, I thought I didn't know how they would transverse that. <br /> So, I wanted to bring that up for discussion. The goal is to take that piece and move it <br /> into District 4 and then make the adjustments necessary in District 4 to continue to bring <br /> the numbers down. Considering what I've learned today that you might have already <br /> known. <br /> HUSTACE: Thank you, Ms. Bath. I have a couple of questions to start off here if you <br /> don't mind, about your effort here. When you were making some adjustments on your <br /> map, on your side, and adding Kalapana to District 4, did you also take in the whole <br /> forest reserve, the Puna Forest Reserve too? <br /> BATH: The Wao Kele o Puna? <br /> HUSTACE: Yes. <br /> BATH: I was playing with that`cause some of that we had had testimony about keeping <br /> the Park all together. And so, I was playing with giving some of that to District 6, but that <br /> didn't really affect the numbers, so I put that on hold `cause I wanted to focus on the <br /> numbers first. The other thing was, I mean in other districts like Hamakua and other <br /> districts, I was saying that when I was playing with it,just the geography element of it, <br /> that some districts were being given a lot of open space and areas that already had open <br /> space. And so I was trying to consider the balance in that as well. But the main thing, I <br /> was starting out with the numbers and the actual community in the common sense <br /> element of it. We're dealing with people here. Not just numbers for voting. Did that <br /> answer your question? <br /> HUSTACE: I actually have a bunch of questions for you, if you don't mind. The next <br /> question is, when you're kind of looking at the forest reserve there, there were a couple of <br /> census blocks within the forest reserve, right? <br /> BATH: I think there were three. <br /> HUSTACE: The one that just popped up into my head, it was the Kaimu-Makena <br /> Homestead Road. There's one census block that just sits there in the middle of it. And so, <br /> if you take the whole forest reserve and you put it in one district, or the other, you have <br /> one census block that it basically has to go wherever the forest reserve goes. But, the <br /> other ones that kind of eek into the forest reserve there, I guess you could say off of the <br /> 18 <br />
