to be free from these, these radio frequencies so the bees have a place to go and the bats have a
<br />place to go. It's like we are popping up these towers everywhere. We just want a sanctuary so to
<br />speak for these animals, and I don't think it's too much to ask. You know, not even getting into
<br />the health thing, which I know we, you know, we're not supposed to say, but my son worked on
<br />these towers. And, some guy as a joke flipped the switch, and my son was on the tower, and he
<br />started convulsing and throwing up violently. Okay, this is something, and that, I realize he was
<br />like within five and ten feet, but if that can happen there, what can happen to these animals flying
<br />between two poles which causes death alley, which is what it's called, it's literally cooking
<br />anything flying in the vicinity between two towers, okay? If we have the two towers close
<br />together like this, we're, we're frying the endangered owls. We're frying the, you know, the
<br />bees, the bats, you know all this stuff that go between these towers are literally being cooked in
<br />the air. Why do we have to have so muchI'm on Verizon. I have good cell service, and I'm in
<br />Eden Roc. Why do we need more? That's my point. Redundancy. Thank you.
<br />HENKEL: Thank you, Julia. Tom?
<br />CUMMING: Yeah, I was, I've been on the
<br />HENKEL: I'm sorry, please state your name and where you reside.
<br />CUMMING: I'm sorry, my name is Tom Cumming. I've been on the board of directors for
<br />Kopua Farm Lots for almost a decade. I'm currently not because I got [inaudible]. But, I'm
<br />concerned about the safety, safety issue of not having cell service out there. Currently, on my
<br />lot, I have to have a 30 -foot tower and a cellular repeater to get cell service. I basically can only
<br />get cell service inside my home because outside, I do not have the repeater access.
<br />I consider this a safety issue. I've also hadI lost $20,000 worth of items in a burglary, and I
<br />put in a security system that also depends on a cellular system to warn me when my house is
<br />being broken into. So, I consider this a safety issue.
<br />It is also people want to have jobs. Want to get, you know, called for, babysitters, want to call
<br />their office. You can't do that without cell service.
<br />My biggest concern is that this a Verizon only tower, is my understanding, and not everybody
<br />has Verizon. So, I know that in another subdivision where I am on the board of directors, we
<br />used Vista Towers for our tower, and we have three providers on the same tower. So, we don't
<br />have to have a whole bunch of towers. And, this is where it's great. The tower is next to our
<br />park. It is next to homes, and there have been no complaints.
<br />Anyway, that's my testimony. Thank you.
<br />HENKEL: Thank you, Tom. And, Theresa, please state your name and where you reside.
<br />BILLIAN: Hi, my name is Theresa Billian. I live at Alapua Street, five lots away from this
<br />tower. I bought this property in 2001, and I want to preserve it, my health and well-being, and I
<br />cannot do so with the cell phone tower beaming down on me. I am worried about the plants; the
