resources and we did not have an implementation committee for that particular thing. <br />And thank you for stepping up to the bat and offering your energies to put into that. And <br />I am hoping that one of you will stay behind afterwards so if anyone has questions we <br />can ask them. <br />GUMAPAC: Mahalo. <br />WATANABE: Okay. Yes, Ms. Bowman. <br />BOWMAN: Just a, I too appreciate your mana‘o and your concern. The <br />Council is made up of, in all districts? I mean how does one become a member? Maybe <br />if we could have more background information on the Council -- I’m just concerned that <br />all the districts are represented, I mean, if this is part of all the CDPs. And I’m not <br />doubting your concern, I’m just trying to see, you know, that it be representative of all <br />our people. Thank you. <br />GUMAPAC: Well, the Kanaka Council has held meetings in Hilo, Ka‘u, Kona, <br />and Waimea. And when we go into those areas we let people know that the Kanaka <br />Council is there and if they have any kind of issues, if they need any help from the <br />Kanaka Council that they come to the Kanaka Council. And we’ve been able to step up <br />and help them. And, in addition, to that, just the mere fact that you come to the meeting <br />you’re part of the Kanaka Council. You know, we welcome everybody and we welcome <br />everybody’s mana‘o on their stuff. And this is why we’ve been able to be so effective, is <br />because we have been out in the community. And people are stepping up and telling us <br />what is happening in Miloli‘i, they’re telling us what’s happening in Honaunau, <br />Honomalino, what’s going on right here in Hilo with the koa forest harvesting, and also <br />what’s going on in Hamakua. And so when we find those things out as the illegal buoys <br />that took place from Kona down to Ka‘u, we’re finding out all these things, and so now <br />we’re starting to intervene; and we’ve been very effective, very effective. So the <br />community at large is welcome, we welcome everybody to the Kanaka Council and their <br />mana‘o. <br />WATANABE: Okay, thank you. It doesn’t seem like we have additional <br />questions. Thank you for your cooperation. You guys were concise. <br />GUMAPAC: Mahalo. <br />WATANABE: Thank you. So let me call up, and I lied earlier. I said seven <br />testifiers but I guess we have eight, actually. Let me call up the last four. Palikapu <br />Dedman, Sara Gilmore, Noe Kamahele and T. Carlson. T. Carlson, Sara, oh, it looks like <br />Sara is coming up. Noe Kamahele? <br />KAMAHELE: Here I am. <br />PUBLIC: Sara had to leave. <br /> EXHIBIT B <br />6 <br /> <br />
