Hamakua district, so I would not like to see Waiaka [sic] community being put into District 8, rather that staying with District 9. Thank you again very much. I appreciate all of your efforts and willingness to work with all of us. Thanks again. CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you, Margaret. MR. MELROSE: Point of clarification, Margaret. You kept saying Waiaka. Did you mean Waiki`i? MS. WILLE: Yes, I did. You are correct. MR. MELROSE: Thank you. CHR. SIRACUSA: Our next testifier here in Kona is George Robertson, representing Puako Community Association. GEORGE ROBERTSON (At this time George Robertson came forward to address members of the Commission.) MR. ROBERTSON: Good evening, folks. I just want to thank you for the great work you have done. It was a really hard job, and I'm really thankful that you listened to me; mostly from Puako, but representing the Puako community. That has been my job for the last two months, so I've been pretty faithful at it. I don't know what you can do with Mauna Lani.

RUTH SMITH (At this time Ruth Smith came forward to address members of the Commission.) MS. SMITH: Aloha, and good evening. It is nice to see you guys again. Thank you so very much for your hard work. This has been a difficult job; our population didn't grow nicely, and things popped out. So it was not easy to do, and it has taken a lot of time on a lot of people's part, but I appreciate your tenacity on this and your openness. We are very grateful in Waikoloa and Kawaihae and Puako to be in District 9; keeping South Kohala together. So we appreciate that. I also appreciate that Hamakua is staying a rural area because I think that is most representative. We are deeply grateful to you guys in Volcano for being so gracious and helping us out. Because this was a difficult one to sort out; and there had to be some give somewhere. I think probably one of the most important things- - and you have heard it again repeatedly tonight - -is the way the process was done allows us to move into the future in a healthy way; in a healthy political way, where we are not about pay back or upset, or people really ticked off We are only beginning the many things we 9
