LUTZ:And holding this just isn’t going to work because it will be flying back and forth. So speaking to you as a handicapped individual -. ALAMEDA:I wonder if maybe Ralph can help hold it. LUTZ:Oh gosh. Probably, if not I’ll knock myself out on it. BLANCATO:Here we go, I got it. LUTZ:Okay, my name is Pamela Lutz. I live at P.O. Box, not in the box, but that’s where my mail is, P.O.

POMEROY:And my address is P.O. Box 1556, Kapaau. I’m speaking as a neighbor and a member of the same community association as Jenny and Sully. And I have great confidence in their integrity and ability to work out any issues that arise regarding access, or any other thing that could come up. As a mother, my kids are 10 and 13, the 13-year old was in Project Venture, they’re public school children. And I really want to support Project Venture th because it did a lot for my son, and the next one that’s going to be in 6 grade. And a wider EXHIBIT A 13
