Hale: — Malama Hawai `i Nei. <br />Chair: Right. And we have already spoken with Kawika, and Gwen —and I know why <br />Gwen is listed there. You listed Emily Nae`ole, I know why she is listed there. <br />Donna Walker? <br />Hale: Donna Walker, she is our treasurer of the Friends of Nae`ole, and the reason I have <br />her down is because of the $1,000. <br />Chair: Board members, any further questions? If not, I would like to take a ten - minute <br />recess. <br />A recess was called at 11:50 a.m. The Chair called the meeting back to order at 12:10 p.m. <br />Chair: At this point, I am going to ask the Board members to look at Barbara Hale's <br />identification of witnesses. And is there any witness that you might want to call in <br />this matter? I take silence as a no. In that case, as a formality, I was going to call <br />these people. <br />Ashida: Before you do that, I would just like to take one minute to make a record. During <br />the testimony of Ms. Hale, there was a representation that a torn -up check dated <br />September 26, 2006, in the amount of $1000. The ripped up check was brought to <br />the proceedings today. I've been handed that original check by Mr. Strauss. He <br />represents that this is the item that was referenced in Ms. Hale's testimony. I <br />conferred with Mr. Lee Loy. He has no objection to the Board receiving this as an <br />additional exhibit, and considering it to the extent that it is relevant to your <br />purposes. So I have it now, and I will just turn it over to you, Mr. Chairman. <br />Chair: Thank you. Well, because this list was furnished to us by Mr. Strauss —in all <br />fairness to Mr. Strauss, if his witnesses are here, I'll call them forward. If not, I <br />will move on. So, for the record —Liz Bonnell, not here; Linda Swallow; Joyce <br />Unoki- <br />Ashida: —Mr. Chairman, just for the record, that is Joyce Unoki with a "u" rather that an <br />e. <br />Chair: It is spelled with an "e" here. <br />Ashida: Yeah, it should be with a "u," a good Hakalau girl. Her mom was my teacher at <br />Waiakea Intermediate. <br />Chair: Is Joyce Unoki here? <br />Ashida: And I should point out to the Board, these are primarily employees here at the <br />Council office, so you have the opportunity to call them if you want and I can go <br />get them. <br />34 <br />
