...inaudible.....org, she suppose to.... inaudible...just basically saying trying key in support
<br /> to where,....got get the date...
<br /> I forgot the date in my other folder. But possible showing up to the county council for
<br /> that bill 51. Making a stand for that and that's ... Looking forward to the Palila report.
<br /> LT: Thank you, sir, that was District 2 Mr. Taysen Wong Chong. Moving forward to District
<br /> 3-that's myself. A couple of updates for District 3 ... In Keaukaha along our beach and
<br /> shoreline access, we have new paved parking lots and roads going in, starting with
<br /> Onekahakaha Beach, that's the roads. Then another update is our camping situation at
<br /> Puhi Bay, we don't got any camping going on this summer. I don't know where
<br /> Department of Hawaiian Homelands stand on the camping issue. I know for last year the
<br /> permits just to camp down Keaukaha was $600 to $800 dollars per camp site. And it was
<br /> mandatory that you have two port a potty per a camp site if you wanted to camp down
<br /> Keaukaha. They were trying to mitigate that excess waste that was going to the bathroom
<br /> over there, from the campgrounds. Other than that, it's the same thing, same issues with
<br /> the pigs, if you guys go to the dump you guys will see pigs on the way in. They put up new
<br /> fencing where the recycling used to be, on the right side as you head in right by the back
<br /> of the rock quarry. If you go to the airport,you'll also see a big group of pigs, maybe about
<br /> 20 1 counted last week just driving through the airport coming out of the back from Kings
<br /> Landing. That was for that. Again, I did reach out to the mayor, I went up to the mayor's
<br /> office, to support my idea of moving the exhaust pipe from Puhi Bay to the back of Kings
<br /> Landing by the drop off in the back of Mauna Loa Macadamia Nuts. I think that's going
<br /> to be one of my long-term goals, trying to get our exhaust pipe for all of the sewage and
<br /> waste waters system from Hilo, Keaukaha, Hilo Bay, which is our Fishing Village, it is the
<br /> only reef that we have on this side of our Island. Our big fishing village, our fishing reef
<br /> and putting the pollution from our sewer system, only pollutes our aquifers (An aquifer is
<br /> an underground geological layer of rock, sediment, or soil that holds and transmits
<br /> groundwater in usable quantities.) our fishing grounds.
<br /> Last year Hawaii News Now put out a report that the wastewater system it has a bacteria
<br /> from Covid 19, the flu virus, all of the human ailments can be found in the exhaust our
<br /> Puhi Bay. That kind of goes right back into Keaukaha and gives us things like scabies, if
<br /> you guys ever got scabies growing up and you got impetigo, (Impetigo is a highly
<br /> contagious bacterial skin infection causing red sores that break open, ooze and form a
<br /> thick, honey-colored crust, most often on the face, arms, and legs of young children.) or
<br /> Herpes virus 1, skin allergies from Keaukaha, just out of reason, because our poop, our
<br /> human waste goes into the water, and that's how it spread amongst our community. So
<br /> that's our pipe exhaust in Keaukaha. Moving forward recently there was an emergency
<br /> bill passed about energy in America, and that led to more drilling for oil, that gave power
<br /> to our Geothermal plant by Hawaiian Homelands, they packed a couple of wells,
<br /> geothermal sites on every Island and using this energy crises bill.They're going to be able
<br /> to go forward with the 20 million, or how much every money they are asking for to
<br /> continue the data collection on the sites, which most of the sites across the Hawaii Island
<br /> chain all fall into Hawaiian Homelands property, so they kind of take the lead with that.
<br /> And right now, the same energy crises bill is being used to push and open up the power
