JM: A snare, conibear trap, or foot or leg hold trap is what is specifically stated. TL: A caged trap is OK is what you’re saying. JM: Correct Retiring Commissioners – Thank You! TL: I would like at this time to ask Willie-Joe, Ike, Tony – Tony – and Kalani to come up here to the front for a minute, if you would be so kind. TL: All right, so... I know that there has been an awful lot of work that you guys have put in, you know, this is a toll on your families, as well as, you know the work that you do and we – the rest of the commissioners here really appreciate... What? TL: And I’m not good at oratory but I appreciate the job that you guys did, I appreciate the job getting this thing started – getting the game commission going – the work that all of you have done – you’re well respected in the community and you’ve been a real credit, I think, to the County and a real credit to the commission and we actually have established a certain amount of credibility and it’s all to you guys and I appreciate it and you’ve been a really big help to me and I don’t know how to, I mean, I’m know I’m getting choked up and stuff – but I do feel that you guys have done a really great job and hunters in this state need to be appreciative of the job that you guys have done so, anyway, Nani has a few words that she wants to say as well. NP: I want to just say with all that you know, I hope you don’t really retire and I hope you’ll come to the meetings and speak your mind and support us especially because you’ll be free to do so – you won’t have to worry about what the mayor thinks. So that’s my hope. Appreciate you guys really a lot. TL: OK. All right – so, again, I don’t know how to thank you guys enough and I hope you listen to Nani and spend your time here helping us as we go through the future. Our next meeting is going to be January 30. I’ll be talking to all of you – we’re gonna try and have a meeting with Joey here over the next week and get some of his thoughts and some of the things that we’re trying to do and then I’d like to get back together with you folks through email or on the phone or whatever it might be as to the direction that we’re gonna go – but we are gonna move forward on some of these things – so it’s just 17
