CARROLL:I would just direct everyone’s attention to Exhibit 10. It has a <br />pretty clear-cut definition as to, I mean, statement as to how this thing operates; and it’s <br />kind of amazing. At this point, we would like to call one of our witnesses; and I think if <br />he testifies, then we’d be pretty much finished. His name is Jorge Gines but he’s not -. <br />RAGGETT:It’s George. <br />CARROLL:I mean, George Gines. If we could take him out of order -? <br />WATANABE:Okay, yeah, please. Why don’t you bring Mr. Gines up then. <br />Would you raise your right hand please, Mr. Gines. Do you swear or affirm to tell the <br />truth now before the Hawai`i County Planning Commission? <br />GINES:I do. <br />WATANABE:Thank you. Would you state your name and address for the record, <br />please? <br />GINES:My name is George Gines. I live in Hawaiian Ocean View. <br />WATANABE:Thank you. You may proceed. He has some testimony, <br />Mr. Carroll? <br />CARROLL:Yes. <br />GINES:I was at the last meeting and I asked you guys to reconsider. And I <br />talked to a lot of friends of mine that knew my wife and myself; and on the Big Island we <br />don’t have a funeral home, especially in Kona, you know; and we need a funeral home. <br />And other than that, you know, we need a crematory, you know. My wife was cremated <br />th <br />in Honolulu and on the 29 be one year that she has been gone. You know, deep down <br />inside of me I know that my wife is gone but physically I do miss my wife. I’ve been <br />married 30 years, you know, but -. And I just hope you guys reconsider A Hui Hou; and <br />they’re just like family; and I thank you. <br />WATANABE:Okay. Fellow Commissioners, does anyone have questions for <br />Mr. Gines? Okay. Mr. Carroll, is that -? Oh, do you have, Mr. Rho, any questions? <br />RHO:No, not for him. I don’t have a question for him but I do have a <br />question. I’m not sure when I should ask that question, but it’s not of this gentleman. <br />WATANABE:Oh, okay, okay. Thank you. You had a question? Oh, finished? <br />RAGGETT:Yes. <br />WATANABE:Okay, Mr. Carroll, you said you’re pretty close to concluding your <br />presentation? <br />EXHIBIT D <br />10 <br /> <br />
