I had an assignment with my kids to write letters if they had direct experience with the area. And <br />this is the first time IÓve ever testified for public testimony; so I didnÓt know about the none <br />copies each. IÓm hoping that Î and there are 43 letters so that would have been a lot of paper Î <br />but IÓm hoping that they can be entered into the public record somehow, so that the kids will <br />know that, you know, they did contribute to the discussion. IÓll just read a few of them, and just, <br />just cute little, you know, their writing and their thought process. This is the third paragraph: <br /> <br />ÐI heard you want to build a hotel over the anchialine pond. I really donÓt want you to build <br />hotel because most hotels have golf courses and golf courses ruin anchialine ponds. Because lots <br />of hotels already did, so I want to save them.Ñ <br /> <br />ÐThis is a fun place to relax in Alula Bay, a beautiful beach. We came here to clean the pond to <br />help the paeÒula by cleaning the pickleweed and taking out the guppies. And can you not kill <br />and destroy the anchialine pond. You will take away the ÒaukuÒu nests and Alula Bay and the <br />habitat of all these species, and will put more pollution and cut oxygen. And can you keep this <br />place how it is? Why do you want to take down all the nature? There are a lot of hotels <br />already.Ñ <br /> <br />Anyways, they go on and on and on. There was only, actually to just show that I did not tell <br />them what to write Î I said that you can have an opinion one way just got to back it <br />up with evidence Î so this is my one thatÓs different from all the rest. So I just wanted to be fair. <br />It says, ÐI think you should make hotels without making it on the ponds because if there are <br />hotels, then they might know how to have fun so then they might have a job over there.Ñ <br /> <br />So anyways, I just wanted to let you know that I wasnÓt, you know, brainwashing them, you <br />know, I really wanted them to give their honest and evidenced opinions. So thank you very <br />much. <br /> <br />WATANABE: Thank you. Do we have any questions for Ms. Aoki? <br /> <br />HOUSEL: Quick one. <br /> <br />WATANABE: Yes. <br /> <br />HOUSEL: How old are your students? <br /> <br />AOKI: They are nine and ten. <br /> <br />WATANABE: Thank you. Ms. Bowman. <br /> <br />BOWMAN: I just, I want to thank you very much. I do similar things in Kohala, and it <br />really does make a difference in their lives. And you know, testimony like this is something <br />cute. <br /> <br />WATANABE: Seeing that there are no other questions, Mr. Nelson? <br /> <br />EXHIBIT E <br />5 <br /> <br />
