KAISER:And I think the working farm enables us to do that because it <br />becomes a facility that can be used by not only the people that are staying there but others <br />as well. <br />MCKINNEY:Or maybe not used but, you know, we grow organic fruits and <br />vegetables and, you know, for the stuff that we don€t use we€d like to be able to give back <br />to the community. We€ve already started affiliating with other farmers in the area where <br />we can do service projects and show the kids how different farms work, and provide a bit <br />of vocational skills, etc. <br />GALDONES:Commissioner McCall? <br />MCCALL:Sure. The question about, in your background information, you <br />note that you€ve been, it says that you€ve been in touch with all your surrounding <br />neighborsasrequiredbythisapplicationandallhaveexpressedtheirsupportforyour <br />program. So you€re saying that all the people, Randal Cabral, John Cross, Al Galimba, <br />have all sent you letters of support? May I see the letters or -? <br />KAISER:No. I€ve spoken to Mr. Galimba and Mr. Cabral, Mr. Cross. <br />MCCALL:And they€ve all expressed their support? <br />KAISER:Yeah. <br />MCCALL:I mean, this is a very small community.

Are you sure that they have expressed their support for you? <br />KAISER:Yes. I€ve spoken with them personally. I€ve met Mr. Cross before <br />in his office. He said he was excited about it. We talked about trail maintenance and <br />other service projects. He volunteered to be a networker as far as his contacts in the area. <br />I saw Mr. Galimba at the Ace Hardware in Naalehu two weeks ago. He asked me how <br />things were going, I mean -. <br />MCKINNEY:I think one of things we€re just finding is, as, are the hearing <br />information got, people have kind of come out that we€re not aware of and -. You know, <br />we€ll be happy to talk to anybody, but I just don€t know everyone. So, I am, I mean, <br />obviously, I know Mr. Cross is in here, too, so I think -. Part of my concern is that the <br />data that kind of gets out to these guys is very, you know, we€re operating a Special <br />Treatment Facility, there€s no background, there€s no, you know, we€re running a farm. <br />Mr. Silva€s letter mentions that, you know. So, I think there€s a lot of, there have been <br />more discussions since a lot of times when spoke with these people -. So, I€m certainly <br />9 <br /> <br />
