the microphone. Okay, right on your own logo you have a volcano and you have the sun. These
<br />are two things that are uniquely Hawaiian. And Hawaii is the center in the sense of navigation
<br />and astronomy; and its the farthest place from any place in the would. And it has the most
<br />highly developed unique astronomy center that had their fingers slapped a little while ago for
<br />being disrespectful but Im sure that will develop beyond this. And then the sun -.
<br />Well, what Im proposing here is that you have, we have, testing, we have a unique condition
<br />that is already here; and with a very simple, very simple addition of lights you can have a
<br />tremendous self-identity thing for Hilo. Weve already got the new astronomy center up by the
<br />University. Weve also got the astronomy center up at the top of the mountain, Mauna Kea. So
<br />what Im proposing is that we would have lights on the harbor at one foot distances like, well,
<br />this is covering it, but over here Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto at one foot to the
<br />million miles. It becomes not only a symbolic imagery, it becomes an educational imagery. Any
<br />one who comes into Hilo, anyone who comes to the port that visits Hilo, they see this. Okay,
<br />thatsthefirstpartofit.
<br />ThenIwantedyoutoconsiderthis,acelestialparkforHilo.Closedownalltheroadsand
<br />parking in front of Hilo, the celestial town, except for the Highway behind the fence and one
<br />entrance at each end. Do we cater to people in cars with exhaust fumes or do we specialize in
<br />people?
<br />How do I propose a celestial theme for Hilo dedicated to navigation and astronomy? How about
<br />a park with a dozen or so picnic benches with chess, checkers, a skateboard court, a marble
<br />court, a jungle gym, Hawaiian golf (you use a bowling ball instead of a golf ball), a joggers path
<br />around the park, bikes, pedicabs and horse with carriage.
<br />Okay, what this is is a proposal for participation in the town. Okay? Around the park, gardenias,
<br />pikakes, ginger, roses and plumeria - all walkers, young and old are blessed with the celestial
<br />aromas, the heavenly aromas of Hilo. Hilo is this special place. Its magical.
<br />All stores would use the existing cobblestones. You notice these right here the little drawings,
<br />the existing cobblestones are actually in along the front of the stores. Theyre totally neglected,
<br />theyve been there for a hundred years. Just like the little rings on the side street, nobody notices
<br />them, those used to hold the horses. Okay? Those existing cobblestones where the cement series
<br />of block in between the cobblestones would make it wide enough for an emergency vehicle. But
<br />the middle one would be able to use for, for instance, the chairs for disabled people so that within
<br />the cobblestones it would go blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah; and, of course, it would
<br />irritate the old people. Okay, so all stores would use the existing cobblestones for a second
<br />walkway joggers path.
<br />Every restaurant in Hilo should have a sidewalk caf± (more activities) sports and concerts.
<br />How about a dozen kiosks? Money. There you go. If it becomes a park, you put a dozen kiosks
<br />there and each one is dedicated to the different planet and then you charge the fee for the kiosks
<br />it will pay for upkeep of the park. It will pay, $2,000 to $3,000 for a dozen kiosks, thatd be
<br />$25,000 a month. That would pay for itself; and Im certain that people would go to all of these
