P. HANOA: All three of us on the same item, can we all go up? WOODWARD: Sure, yeah, I’m just getting to call them one at a time because I can only get one name at a time. Then we’ve got a Ray Shirakawa and, well, Richard Bridges has already spoken. So -. All right, if I can get you all to raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth today before the Windward Planning Commission? P. HANOA: Yes, I do. DAVIS: I do. J. HANOA: Yes. WOODWARD: Okay, very good. Who would like to start? Okay, if you could speak into the microphone, give us your name address, and then begin. J. HANOA: My name is James Hanoa. I’m a retired iron worker and a ranch owner. I don’t approve of this. We never was notified by the County what was going on. We should know that. The people should know what’s going on so we can, if we don’t approve it, don’t put it. We have, majority of the people don’t want that aircraft up there. You put one then you’re going to have two, three, it ain’t going to stop. Thank you. WOODWARD: Okay, very good. Any questions? No? All right, thank you, sir. Yes, Ma’am, if you’d give us your name and address. P. HANOA: My name is Pele Hanoa, PO Box 427, Naalehu. That’s the post office box but I do live in Waiohinu. I live in the valley of Waiohinu. These people coming is above us on the high hill. They want this aircraft to fly over, and we’re right below. All that dust and that noise, it echos right back into our valley. We are retired people. The community of Waiohinu is just a humble little town where we all live. We have church on Sunday. Why is it these people want to fly an aircraft right above us? I don’t think any of you want this aircraft to be in your backyard; and this is exactly what they’re doing. Hey, if they want to hunt pig we go on our foot to hunt pig. We don’t need the aircraft to come over there to hunt the pigs. If he had a piggery farm, find a way to do it, not flying on the aircraft coming from Hilo and disturb the quiet peaceful community of Waiohinu. We’re retired. I born in Kau all my life. I’m 86 years old. And to hear this aircraft coming in, all the dust from the aircraft is going to flow right into our community. This is uncalled for. And I hope you folks realize how suffering we’re going to be to have this aircraft, the noise and the dust on the little village, valley of Waiohinu town. Thank you. WOODWARD: Thank you. Any questions for Ms. Hanoa? Okay -. DAVIS: Could I have my statement? Can I have it? NOMURA: Microphone, please. 6 EXHIBIT C
