CHAIR: Okay. I guess I should say <br />LUM• -- especially with the motion <br />CHAIR: - -a formal <br />L UM: --yeah, not a formal service, but I do think it is a ritual. <br />CHAIR: Again, I think it's an expression of who she is. I think she made it clear she was <br />just expressing who she is. But I think the question comes down to, is offensive behavior <br />to one person in violation? Is it discourteous, is it impartial, is it not impartial? And <br />that's what we need to decide here. <br />GENTRY: I don't have any questions. <br />CHAIR: Do you have any comments, questions? <br />NICHOLSON: I have no questions, no. <br />GENTRY: I don't have any questions for Joyce or Greg, but maybe a question for Emily, <br />another question for Emily. <br />CHAIR: Go ahead. <br />FOLENA: Okay. <br />SMITH: Thank you. <br />GENTRY: My question is this. At the time that the petitioner was submitting testimony <br />before the Council, were you indeed praying over her? <br />NAEOLE: You know, I think I was praying for myself, so I could keep my act together, <br />yeah, because I remember what I was doing, but nobody knew what the word was coming <br />out of my mind and my heart. Only me knows. And I got to pray for myself sometimes. <br />When people call you stupid, and people put you down a lot, what you supposed to do? <br />I'm a human being. And you know the word stupid it's a hard word for me, because <br />when I was growing up as a child, that word was used upon me a lot. And so when I hear <br />people calling me that, sometimes I try to believe it, but I know I not. I know I pretty <br />smart. And so, that's all I have to say. <br />GENTRY: So at the time this was occurring, you were not actually your intention was <br />not praying over the petitioner? <br />UD0VIC: No. <br />NAEOLE: No. I had to pray for myself. <br />21 <br />
