as they stroll in the park. Without a doubt, New York with its central park was pioneering; and the people that have put that through have had millions of people appreciate it. And every one has an appreciation for that because it was far thinking and it was humane. Okay? How about a dozen kiosks, okay? For heavens sake, never give up your cars. You might have to walk a block or two. Of course, there would be no carbon monoxide in the stores or bouncing off the stores when you walk along the Kings Avenue. Ill make it quick. The sidewalks are a conduit as you walk along of exhaust fumes. They enter from the bay, swoops over, brings all the carbon monoxide into the front of the stores, swooping around, and then it goes inside the stores; and then it goes back to start the whole sequence over again. How many times have you heard old people say that they get dizzy when they walk in Hilo? Thats because of the carbon monoxide. Those thousand cars are parked there every single day and people leave them running constantly. Okay? The exhausts are a conduit. Cars took over about a hundred years ago and we have been sucking up their cancerous pollution ever since. We need to be far thinking. We need to be courageous, not cowardly. We need to have Mayor KimbecourageousKimandinitiatewiththeCouncilthiswholethingandpushitthrough.Not how do we do it but do it. Okay? After all the Hawaiian Polynesians were the greatest th navigators in the world prior to the 20 Century technology. Peles island is the highest and lowest place on the place of the earth withthe greatest observatory complex ever created. Our celestial park would move from the Hilo fence at a gradual incline up to three feet high and slope downward to the stores. Rich Hamakua soil installed right over the existing black top will defend against those who will say, Whos going to pay for the millions it will cost to tear up the asphalt? Just put it right over the top, plant the grass, have the flowers. And except for maybe additions of trees here and there, it would take very little as far as movement of existing things. No trees uprooted. All existing trees to enhance the park. Its about time they put lights on the breakwater, the first proposal. Well, their harbor pilot said to me when I told him about the project to put small lights on the breakwater at intervals, its abouttime.Well,IknowIsoundalittleverboseinsayingthis.Buthowdoyousaysomuch without being verbose? But, hopefully, it was colorful enough that it kept your attention, that youenjoyedit,orthatmaybeyoumightdiscussitorconsiderit.Iwouldsaythatputtinglights on the harbor would be a minimal expense and would accent the environment. It would accent the imagery and it would complement Hilo, the new astro center, and the astronomy centers at the top of Mauna Kea. It would also accent education because there is a new thing that has been developed that simplifies our solar system into small fractions in numbers, that being that the distance from the sun to the earth is like one, the distance to Jupiter would be like five, the distance to Saturn would be like ten, the distance to Uranus would be like twenty, thirty, and forty. Who cannot remember five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty versus four billion, nine hundred and sixty four million, eight hundred seventy two, seven hundred seventy eight million, five hundred forty three thousand two hundred and twenty two? So, I mean, those numbers are mindboggling. We have coming out of Hawaii a pioneering educational presentation about our whole system that we live in. 14EXHIBIT B
