Chair: Maxine Pacheco, Ken Goodenow, Casey Jarman, Aurora Kaipo, Rudy Valentino, <br />Malama Nae`ole, Leilani Chun —we already spoke with Kawika Mattos, Donna <br />Walker. Donna Walker. <br />Lee Loy: Mr. Chair, she is also listed on our witnesses. If it would please the Board— <br />Chair: —We will reserve it for yours, and Gwen Kupahu is also on your witness list, so <br />we will reserve that as well. Having read Mr. Strauss' witness list, I would then <br />like to call up Emily Nae`ole and her representation. Actually, we will give them <br />as much time as they like. We are hopefully going to take a lunch break by one <br />o'clock. <br />Lee Loy: Mr. Chairman, however you want to do this is how we will do this. I had prepared <br />a very short list of questions for her to feed off of, if you want to —if there are <br />particular areas you want to go into. I won't waste your time. <br />Chair: I believe this witness should be allowed to her counsel to ask her certain questions, <br />and I will allow that. And during the course of answering those questions, I may <br />have a few questions of my own. <br />Lee Loy: Yes, sir. <br />Chair: Would you like to begin? <br />Lee Loy: Your name ma'am, please. <br />Nae `ole: Emily Nae `ole. <br />Lee Loy: Now, Emily, you heard the accusations made against you today, and you have read <br />the blogs? I'd like to ask you some major, some very straight - forward questions. <br />Is prayer an important part of your life? <br />Nae`ole: Yes, it is very important. <br />Lee Loy: What is the most important thing that you pray for? <br />Nae`ole: That everybody would —in Hawaiian it says aloha kekahi e kekahi —that we love <br />one another. <br />Chair: I already appreciate this, but Mr. Lee Loy, there are two major questions that we <br />need to address. <br />Lee Loy: Okay. <br />Chair: The prayer is not before us. It's not relevant and I would like you to stay with the <br />two questions. <br />35 <br />
