in Fern Acres, I don’t need paperwork, not everybody in Fern Acres has been informed, okay? <br />You’re talking about an area where he had to put a notice of only five, between five hundred feet <br />from his residence, okay. The radiation from this tower can affect cattle, children, livestock, sure <br />it’s gonna be great to have a tower that will provide for better reception, cell phone and what not, <br />but I don’t feel, and this is a private community by the way. I don’t know how this got through <br />Fern Acres unless some ponds are being greased, when I heard of the thing, I said oh gee that <br />sounds nice, maybe I can make some money, maybe as an alternative site. Then I read all the <br />stuff, and said you know, it’s not worth the money, and even if I had a tower on my site, I would <br />be forcing AT&T to make known to these people of what studies have said. They’re not gonna <br />say that cause they want a tower up there. But there are, this is more research than not then that <br />proves that there is you know damage from EMF radiation then there’s not. They like the tower <br />of that. I understand why. It’s a money making deal for the company. That’s business, <br />capitalism. But this is a small community. It really is. And there’s 2,000 residents there by the <br />way. That aerial view shows like hardly any houses around Rose Street and Hibiscus. There’s <br />plenty around if you move on with that aerial camera and you see how close this is. It will be <br />nice that it would be decorated to look like a pine tree or something or whatever, but I am <br />concerned about the radiation. I am concerned about the uninformed public. I think I’m the only <br />one here that came for Fern Acres which means that nobody knew about this. They figured, <br />good, you know, nobody knows, we’re not gonna get any adverse reactions to this, and <br />concluding a—you know, it’s not just that, it’s the way they went about this, and if it’s a <br />different issue about building a house or something, all right people five hundred feet away. <br />Okay, we’re talking about a tower that emits EMF radiation. That’s like microwaves. It’s not <br />like your little microwave. This is a little more than that. And over a period of time, people get <br />leukemia and the guy, I mean I have nothing against him. I hope he does well if he gets the <br />tower. I understand that he’s got grandchildren that live there or come there. He’s a teacher for <br />some counseling Hawaiian. I’m a little worried about the kids in the neighborhood. I put my <br />greed aside, and I was actually talking to consultants and said, well I’ll be an alternative of this <br />site, you know—it was need-- <br /> <br />MIYASATO: --Excuse me, sir. You need to summarize-- <br /> <br />BATTAGLIA:--not greed. Summarization is that there was not enough notice given to the <br />people of Fern Acres for a tower. Not enough notice. There was not enough. And where it was <br />located, not many people have seen that, and they also should have put out a notice to everyone <br />in Fern Acres, we’re considering putting a tower up but we want you to know that studies say <br />there could be some ill health effects from this. I feel like helpless as one person here talking for <br />this, but I am talking for the community that are deaf ears at this. I think that AT&T should have <br />been a little bit more informative about this tower and the possible EMF effects of the radiation. <br />Thank you. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Commissioners, any questions? Thank you. <br /> <br />BATTAGLIA: Thank you. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Commissioners, any discussion? Commissioner Henkel. <br /> <br />6 <br />EXHIBIT D <br /> <br /> <br />
