MARTIN: Well, absolutely. Verizon Wireless is required to provide E911 service and so in the
<br />event of a problem, I heard in another location in Kapoho, that there was someone that drowned,
<br />and gosh, if we had the wireless service available, we don’t think that person would have died, so
<br />you know, we hear of those stories all the time.
<br />
<br />NISHIMOTO: Is there anything else you’d like to add?
<br />
<br />MARTIN: I did want to point out that in our Exhibit that I did reach out to the Ainaloa
<br />Community Association after, after this, after you know, just prior to this hearing, and I talked
<br />with Debbie Boggs there. She works there, and I don’t know if she’s a Board member. I did put
<br />in my Affidavit that I thought she was, but later on, I think maybe she just works there. But, I
<br />talked to her, and I said you know, I know that we talked before, and that you know, you had
<br />said that the Association was supportive of this, but would you be willing to write me a letter.
<br />So, her question to me was, who is objecting to it. And I said, well, it’s—they’re Daryl Inaba,
<br />he’s on Silversword, and just to let you know, Silversword is not in the Ainaloa Community
<br />Association. It’s in Tiki Gardens, and they have no community association. So, I explained to
<br />her. I said, well, there’s the fellow that lives across the street or doesn’t live across the street, but
<br />he has a vacant lot, and I told him what her, what his concerns are and things, and she said well,
<br />he just doesn’t get it. He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t live here. And, she said if he lived
<br />here, he would know how critical that this service is to us. I will absolutely get that letter for
<br />you, and she did.
<br />
<br />NISHIMOTO: Thank you. Are there any questions for the Commissioners?
<br />
<br />HENKEL: Yeah, you just answered one. I was wondering if Tiki Gardens was a separate entity
<br />from Ainaloa. It is.
<br />
<br />MARTIN: It is.
<br />
<br />HENKEL: And yet you keep referencing, you know, the Ainaloa Community Association, but
<br />the project is in Tiki Gardens.
<br />
<br />MARTIN: It’s kind of on the cusp, technically it’s in Tiki Gardens. Tiki Gardens is a, the
<br />coverage is mostly going to be affected for Ainaloa Gardens, and I can let Mr. Shaffer explain to
<br />you why, why this site is going to be the best coverage area for Ainaloa.
<br />
<br />HENKEL: I have one more question. Yeah, I mean this one’s been answered. The other
<br />question—is there a recommended distance or buffer zone from the tower for residences for
<br />microwave or radio frequency radiation?
<br />
<br />MARTIN: I kind of answered this before at the last meeting, but the FCC has strict regulations
<br />for safety, and I had—I don’t think I brought it with me this time—but I, there’s an FCC
<br />brochure that’s put out, and I was trying to hand that out at the last hearing, but I don’t think I
<br />brought ‘em with me. I can forwarded it over just in case anybody’s wanting to know what it is,
