that cost today. But please look at the reality of this situation. Please come down and look at what they are doing down there. Do they have a zoning permit for a business? They are going to have some (expletive) illegal hotel down there. I’m old enough to tell you that I’m concerned about fire, I’m concerned about pollution, I’m concerned about that. I’d been in a home health care business for 15 years before I moved here. I know what a fire does. You prove to me that they are the right people to have a business in North Kohala. And the other thing I’ve got to tell you is Mr. Higa died last year. These people have no access; they have no right to the road they built down there. And I have pictures of this thing. It’s almost the size of a 2-lane highway. They lost a cement truck down there one day. I sat there for 5 hours waiting for the cement truck to be dug out. What are we going to do? Wait till some kids to run their cars off the gulch one night? That almost has already happened; we had to get up at 3:00 o’clock in the morning and helped these kids out of the gulch. So I’m not an effective attorney. I didn’t bring a bunch of people with me. But I have heard complaints about these people for the last four years. It’s not fair. We moved to North Kohala for peace, and to be part of a beautiful community. This is the first time I’ve seen that woman when she hasn’t been in my face. So maybe it’s time I got in her face. You know what it’s like to be a nice, polite person, and have to call the cops because somebody standing in your yard, telling you they are going to excavate your old mango tree and they don’t care about your erosion? I’m putting it on line right now because the day my mango trees fall down and that road just slips into the gulch, I want to know who to sue. And Mr. Higa told me it wasn’t him. I’ve talked to the family. These people have no written access; they have no right to that road. And now they’ve destroyed the gulch, they destroyed the entire side of the Hotel. And I personally have to put up with that whole lot of dirt constantly. We have a million-dollar investment. And that side of the Hotel, I don’t think I’ll be able to use in the future. The dirt, the noise, the people, the kids. And she thinks she’s legal. I apologize to all of you. But this has been coming a long time. And I didn’t move here for this. My God, I’ve started my own TV series. I’ve dealt with the public. And I just beg you to come out and look at what these people are trying to do to North Kohala. They are infamous. Do you like to say something, neighbor? SULLIVAN: I forgot what I was going to say. WATANABE: Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Just a minute. Do we have any questions for Patricia? Anyone have any questions? BOWMAN: I have a question. WATANABE: Yes. BOWMAN: You referred to, well, to bulldozers being there and tearing up the road. Maybe not for Patricia, but I think we need clarification if that is a legal easement, if what they are doing is legal, not from -. EXHIBIT B 11
