SPRINGER:Regarding the Hawaiian hawk, you've observed birds on the proposed <br />development parcel? <br />REIS:They come from that area, they fly up there. They fly around that area. <br />` <br />They come down to Hlai Hill in their search for food and along around by Rainbow Falls <br />and Pnwai Street. <br />SPRINGER:Have you observed -? <br />REIS:And they go back up there. <br />SPRINGER:Have you observed any nests or nesting behavior? <br />REIS:No, it's still too tangled in there, but they do fly into the trees there. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you. <br />FUJIKAWA:Any other question? If not, thank you. Francis, state your name and -, <br />full name and your address, please. Your full name and address. <br />` <br />WOO:My name is Francis Woo, and my address is 327 Ohukea Street, <br />Sunrise Subdivision No. 1. <br />FUJIKAWA:You may proceed. Go ahead. <br />WOO:Well, before I go ahead, I just want to comment on two phases and let <br />many other phases, we have other experts willing to testify. <br />I'm a licensed civil engineer and a licensed public health engineer or sanitary engineer. I have <br />a masters degree, a masters in public health, and I've been with the Health Department for <br />almost 29 years, and the Board of Water Supply in Honolulu for one year. I was sent up here <br />to be Chief Sanitary Engineer for the Health Department for nine years, and we -, usually the <br />Department have a health officer, but we couldn't -, the Department couldn't find any <br />qualified. So I had to take over as the acting health officer for three years without pay. By the <br />way, when I joined the Board of Water Supply, I only received $100 a month salary. That was <br />during the Great Depression years. <br />I only heard about this thing just a few weeks ago. As I'm 94 years old, I had to go down, I <br />had an emergency operation in Honolulu. They had to bore a hole through my skull because I <br />had hemorrhage and drain. And because of that, anytime you play around with your brain, <br />you have side effects, so if I speak incoherently at times, or I break in my speech, please <br />excuse me and have a little patience. <br />13 <br /> <br />
