Second is “I, Janet A. Hunter, 76-228 Oma Place, Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i, as a former 15-year police detective, four-year school teacher, and an avid surfer,” –she is an instructor at ke Kahakai Elementary –a Bay for a long time and have been helping clean and educate others on the need to preserve nature and historical/cultural sites. This location is perfect for the education of others on a beautiful culture of Hawai‘i. Please don’t let greed prevail in taking a single family home and lot and turn it into a 20-to-30 family’s location. This would congest the Ali‘i street with more cars and people who usually add more trash and pollution. Thank you very much.” In addition to that, you know, I was so blessed that these ladies have helped us out. They ran around, got signatures, and encouraged this wonderful turnout. I want to say mahalo to everyone for coming out here and for the last couple days for everyone’s support, just this show of the community and every day everybody saying you’re doing jobs, the keiki, “Aunty, good job.” It’s hard, it’s a tough fight. It’s a long battle but it’s worth it. The land is valuable, and you know that. And you know that. And we appreciate you so much for doing this and letting the people speak. Mahalo from my ancestors. Mahalo. And I’d just like to say this simple prayer that my kumu taught me, Aloha Mai Ea Ea Ike Pono ola mau Loa Uwehe E Ha‘awi Lokomaika‘i Loa‘a Mai Lokomaika‘i. And we all say mahalo ke Akua, and from kua to us, we say aloha. Mahalo. HOUSEL: Thank you. While we’re finding the names of the other testifiers, I’d like to, before everybody slips away, thank you all for your public testimony. That’s very important. The Commission takes your testimony very seriously, so we really appreciate your coming out and making the time and the effort to give your testimony. It’s very important. Thank you. Could the following people please come forward – Fred Fitzgerald, David Haeo and Dirk Harriman? GONZALEZ: David Ahlo. HOUSEL: Oh, itlooks like an “e.” GONZALEZ: I think it’s an “l.” HOUSEL: Okay. Is it Ahlo? Sorry. There we are. Okay, could you please use the microphone and raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth on this matter now before the Leeward Planning Commission today? TESTIFIERS: Yes. HOUSEL: Thank you. We’ll start on your far right. If you’d like to give your name and address, please. AHLO: My name is David Ahlo. I’m actually from California. I was born and raised in Kona. And I would just like to say, because from what I heard –this was going all over the internet – and when I found out about the building of Lyman’s, it kind of hit me pretty hard because I was born and raised there, right across the street from it,my whole life. I was born traditionally by my dad. He used to teach for Hale O Ponopono. And a lot of the things he fought for, that’s the same reason why I’m here. I would hate to see that place being built. 14 EXHIBIT E
