<br />J. MENTNECH: Yes. <br /> <br />WOODWARD: Okay, very good. <br /> <br />J. MENTNECH: Yes. So in my business I do import stuff and IÓve been helping vendors from <br />the market, Hilo Market, Hilo FarmersÓ Market, MakuÒu. And some store owners in front over <br />here right now want to speak for me, if you can let them speak. So our store is not just a store, <br />itÓs also like a service to the community, to the vendors and to the whole people. Also, IÓve been <br />helping churches. And my family is in the Philippines, and I ca <br />know how it is to be, you know, no money and really living hard. So I did my best to set up this <br />store, and whatever income I have from the store I send that to the Philippines to help out. I <br />really donÓt want to speak for myself. I want somebody speaking for me, so thatÓs why theyÓre <br />here to speak for me. So I hope you can consider those. <br />And I also got some signatures here. ThereÓs only one with opposing so far and I have more than <br />a hundred signatures and letters from different people. I put some in there on that board, I put it <br />up on this board. And if I can speak, I have so much of it, and I have it if you want to look at it <br />and read them; and I hope you will consider those, those stuff. Thank you much. <br /> <br />WOODWARD: All right. Thank you. Do we have any questions for either of the applicants so <br />far? <br /> <br />DOMINGO: Yeah. Just, I have a question to the applicant. <br /> <br />WOODWARD: Commissioner Domingo. <br /> <br />DOMINGO: On that actual garage sale as you indicated, is there any difference in other garage <br />sales we find throughout the island? As we drive along the highway we see those cardboards <br />with, announcing garage sale and arrow pointing to the direction that theyÓre having the sale. Is <br />there any difference from that kind of garage sale than this, unless with it being exceptionally <br />enlarged? <br /> <br />M. MENTNECH: Well, itÓs constant. Most people donÓt have a garage sale five days a week. <br /> <br />DOMINGO: ThatÓs what I mean. <br /> <br />M. MENTNECH: Yeah, thatÓs -. And this is new stuff. ItÓs not the, typically garage sale is <br />stuff you want to get rid of and then youÓre done with it. Plant sales may be similar but still not <br />to this scope. So thatÓs -. I donÓt know where garage sale draws the line and where store starts. <br />WeÓd only have two doors opened at any one time. One has a refrigerator, so itÓs only like the <br />door opens and the refrigerator is right there. And the other one opens and thatÓs where you get <br />into the store. And the third garage door, thatÓs my workshop. I didnÓt let her have that. <br /> <br />DOMINGO: So what youÓre having is a combination of several scenarios with regards to, you <br />know, weÓre treating separate a garage sale, an ordinary garage sale which we find every <br />8 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> <br /> <br />
