anyway, it’s been designated as a Natural Area Reserve and there’s currently no <br />access to this area except through these – nearby US Fish & Wildlife Refuge so <br />anyway, I hadn’t heard of it till Barbara sent it to – so I just wanted to bring that to <br />everyone’s attention and questions – let me know if you’d like me to look further <br />into it. Of course, don’t want to encroach – if this is actually in Austin’s territory – I <br />just don’t know where – I was trying to look on them map but I’m not exactly sure <br />so… Anyway, I just wanted to bring that up. <br /> <br />AG: Yeah, well, Waiea is above… <br /> <br />AA: Kealia… <br /> <br />AG: The transfer station – that’s McCandless Ranch – that’s the NARS land – 15,000 <br />acres? Is that what it is? <br /> <br />CO: Well, this one said it’s only 1269 acres \[unclear\] so maybe the full area is the one <br />you’re talking about. <br /> <br />AG: I have a map and it outlines 15,000 acres they’re acquiring or they have acquired <br />and there’s two squares that’s cut out of it which is what McCandless Ranch has <br />kept, um, their only access is through McCandless Ranch it’s right there up <br />above, across the street from the rubbish dump. That’s where the first Vancouver <br />bipi came to this Island were released was up in there and they were brought in <br />through Napoopoo Bay so there’s a lot of history up there too and they’re gonna <br />try and wipe out those animals but it is a pretty harsh land up there – pretty <br />rugged animals. <br /> <br />AA: Thanks, Austin. Abraham – District 5, ah, Cortney, get couple other things <br />coming up in your district and I going forward you the information but there’s an <br />archery club in Kona run by Mark Loando – he was in office last meeting and I <br />talked to him and he wants to start he wants to try and make an archery range <br />out in Kona so I’m in contact between him and Maurice Messina and talking to <br />Maurice he’s in support of it so I’m gonna \[unclear\] so you can jump in at that <br />conversation and join in with them. <br /> <br />CO: Thank you. <br /> <br />AA: The other one is you and George – I sent you guys contact information to Steve <br />Bergfeld which is the head of DOFAW and he’s gonna be asking you guys’ <br />opinions on some rule changes in your guy’s areas. <br /> <br />CO: Thank you. <br /> <br />AA: You guys share the borderline. OK. District – 9, George? <br /> <br />GD: Ah, nothing further than the update from JoJo for the success of the fishing <br />derby. <br />30 <br /> <br /> <br />
