AA: Yeah, and that’s part of the investigative part, right? So we can talk to pretty much whoever we <br />like. <br /> <br />SW: But it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re on the Committee and are a part of writing the <br />ultimate report for the Committee. Does that answer your question, Natalie? OK… <br /> <br />AA: Thank you, District – 3, Leomana? <br /> <br />LT: E aloha Leomana, District – 3. For my district I’ve been seeing a lot less of all the wild animals <br />that we’ve been talking about \[unclear\] like the wild chickens and wild pigs. Hilo we always cycle <br />up and down. I guess we have a lot of locals who don’t mind going out there and taking care of <br />the populations so our wild animal populations it fluctuates, ah, we just hit a down spurt. I asked <br />all the local hunters if they seen any of the non-egg laying chickens around and it’s basically only <br />at the dump right now. I know we have – what is that – the cats – still yet to deal with over here <br />– and we’re taking the lead and we’re following the opposite end of the Island doing with the <br />nene because we had someone over here to try and steal a nene – I don’t know if you guys saw <br />that on the news but last month the lady came over here and stole one of the babies from <br />Wailoa and so now we have a lot of nene crossing signs. We have a lot of nene sanctuary <br />designated – I seen DLNR show up but, ah, the wild cat population is still our number one <br />problem and I’m still looking into the water pollution of the disposal of 2 million gallons of the <br />rd <br />wastewater. I did get a chance to – this is my 3 year – I’m head judge of the Hawaii State <br />Science Fair and last week I flew to Oahu to judge the State Science Fair. There’s a couple of kids <br />out of – almost all of our districts at the State Science Fair having to do projects with ungulate <br />management, about the palila birds – they have a lot of good ideas. I’m gonna put a link to the <br />website and if you guys want to go and check it out – there’s – Kealakehe has 3 students – <br />Honokaa has one – and then at Waiakea and Kamehameha in Hilo there’s 4 students. But a lot <br />to do with the natural resource management of the Island, so, I suggest you guys check it out. <br />Anyway, that’s all for my district, thank you. <br /> <br />AA: District – 4, absent. District – 5, is your Chair. District – 5 just still catching pigs. I think this year <br />so far since I’ve been starting trapping, pretty close to 50 pigs already just in my da kine – in my <br />district, and I still getting phone calls. I just sent Barbara the updated list so she can send it to <br />everybody and she can also post it on our website. I just got it yesterday so I just sent it to her <br />now cause I just remembered. I’m on that trappers list, Austin Griffey is on that trappers list – so <br />if anybody that has ungulate problems just refer them to that trappers list that’s now gonna be <br />on our County website and also they can call DOFAW has that same list and when I talked to <br />Joshua Pang-Ching yesterday he’s gonna work with their public person to put it back on the <br />DLNR website, um, plus, you know, you get – you had a \[tape break\]. <br /> <br />AG: Yeah, eh, can you hear me? <br /> <br />AA: Yeah, you’re fine. <br /> <br />JP: Eh, howzit, yeah, sorry I was gonna raise my hand and say what you just said, but, yeah, I <br />contacted our – the people who run our website and we’re gonna get our – the updated sheet <br />on there and then try make the link easier for people to find, um, for people that want to go on <br />that route to get that list. <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />
