<br />WESTERVELT: I do. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Thank you, Dennis. Go ahead, Dennis. <br /> <br />WESTERVELT: I’m the manager for the Ocean View swap meet. And I would just like to say <br />that I passed out about 200 of these little slips that you got passed around over the last three <br />weeks. And out of that, only one car refused to move to a designated parking lot. We have signs <br />that show where the parking is. I mean, some people maybe have, need bigger glasses. The <br />people don’t seem to have any trouble when I ask them to move. They all moved except for one, <br />and that would be his neighbor. But, you know, he said I own these roads, I don’t have to move. <br />But basically everybody wants the swap meet to survive and they all did exactly what he wants us <br />to do, and that’s to move the people to the parking lot from the road. We can continue to do that <br />as long as necessary. I was on the volunteer fire department for 12 years. I know the most <br />dangerous thing you can do is put somebody out in the middle of the road and direct traffic. The <br />one at Maku‘u is totally different. They don’t have to cross the road. They’re in the parking lot, <br />they have people directing there. We can have people directing traffic in the parking lot too if we <br />needed to. But that’s not the issue here. You put somebody on the road, the Fire Department or <br />the Police Department or the Road people that work on the roads know it’s the most dangerous <br />thing you could do, is put somebody in the middle of the road. I didn’t put anybody in the middle <br />of the road to pass these things out. I passed them out after they got out of their cars and they <br />came into the swap meet. They all went back and moved their cars. I think the issue has been <br />solved, personally. <br /> <br />MOSES: Dennis, you just said that if you put somebody in the middle of the road it’s the most <br />dangerous. Do you know children pass back and forth on the road? Who’s taking care of them? <br />Who’s watching them? <br /> <br />WESTERVELT: Their parents, their parents. <br /> <br />MOSES: Well, all I’m saying is that we need to ensure safety there and it doesn’t seem -. I’ve <br />been there, I’ve seen the amount of people going back and forth without anybody there directing <br />or ensuring that safety is number one there. And directing traffic, I haven’t seen it. I’m sorry, I <br />live there, I’ve been there, and I haven’t seen it. <br /> <br />WESTERVELT: Sorry, what is the thing you haven’t seen? <br /> <br />PEEBLES: You know, if it solves it, we’ll find somebody to hire somebody to stand there. That <br />solves this issue. But in response to Raylene, we have people crossing Māmalahoa Highway <br />every single day from the swap meets that are down in Nā‘ālehu, the air markets, they’re running <br />across the road every day, the main highway. Who’s watching them, Raylene? Nobody. <br />Because, that’s what we do -. <br /> <br />10 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br /> <br />
