plant in Pepeekeo. Right...Pu'u Honua, so their doing the re-negotiation. I didn't get too
<br /> deep into the story, it just came out yesterday or the day before, about Pu'uhonua, part
<br /> of that was the energy crisis and has to do with Pu'uhonua, and our geothermal plants,
<br /> which on Big Island we have three (3). We...did a test well in Kawaihae in Hawaiian
<br /> Homes, one up on Mauna Kea, and then we have the one in Puna. That's going, so we
<br /> have three (3) on this Island and every other Island has about one. Ummm... Shoots, that
<br /> was energy and that is it for District 3 Thank you very much.
<br /> LT: Moving forward to District 4 Mr. Brian Ley...
<br /> BL: Brian Ley district 4. Good news Pohiki dredging is way ahead of schedule, it's moving
<br /> a lot faster than they originally planned. Hopefully we can keep that momentum
<br /> going, and we get that one open up soon. Pigs are always an issue, also the
<br /> deforestation and lot clearing is going like crazy in Puna, it seems like another boom
<br /> town, so a lot of pigs moving,the strawberry guava blight is really taken affect in Puna,
<br /> so we'll have to see what happens,when strawberry guava inaudible...I notice....I had
<br /> to remove a couple of trees ... it started getting ripe yeah...but we'll see how that will
<br /> affect the pigs, yeah. I stopped by the DLNR office, I get a little frustrated I don't get
<br /> any answers, I never get any call backs or anything from them...I specifically asked
<br /> how many people applied for the sheep removal permit, I know they were offering 16
<br /> permits, but I could not get any answers of how many people applied or anything like
<br /> that. And we had the eradication of the first and second, I don't have no idea how
<br /> many sheep were taken, I heard a rumor from somebody,we need to look into it,they
<br /> was hunting up Mauna Kea, and they said there was a helicopter herding sheep,
<br /> before the eradication. I'm not sure if that should be allowed or even if legal, or stuff
<br /> like that, to herd the sheep during hunting, when people are actively trying to hunt,
<br /> and there is flying helicopters moving sheep for easy kill zones. And there is another
<br /> eradication at the end of August scheduled. And that's it for my report. Thank you.
<br /> RD: Can I share, and add in to commissioner's report, DOFAW has been missing in action, on
<br /> any kind of request for information. It's not true of other agencies in DLNR, but they seem
<br /> to have a habit here of not responding to questions.
<br /> BL: Oh, one other thing here, I went with some friends to mile marker 16, and DOCARE took
<br /> the whole...the good zone and the 100 yard.... inaudible....and they wouldn't let body in
<br /> there. And like I said, you know...we need...I don't know why they don't have their own
<br /> range to qualify, and why they have to use public one, and take the whole thing, without
<br /> any notification or anything. So that was kind of little discouraging. I had a friend to ask
<br /> about that, he said, no, you guys, after 3:00 pm you can come here. So, we had to go to
<br /> the short range, ... sight of the muzzle loaders for the season. So
<br /> ?: Person did not state his name. Sounds like Steve Araujo. Can I comment on some of this.
