Subject: Resolution 145-21
Aloha Council Chair David and Vice-Chair Chun and the all the council representing our Hawaii Island.
| amwriting Loshow support nfresolution 14S-ZIonMahukona.
As we look at Kohala we see a district rich in the Cultural History of Hawaii. Our district is bordered by Pololu Valley on one side,
Kawaihaeonthe other,and the Majestic KohdaMountains.
Rural in nature, I remember growing up spending a lot my time along it's coasts and lush mountain hunting and fishing.Other than
Po|o|uand the beaches ofSouth Koha|o,our beaches are Rocky. Not too many places tutake the family swimming. Besides being o
significant Cultural Area and Harbor, Mahukona serves Kohala as one of it's main swimming and recreational locations.Access to
beaches and other areas of Kohala has become increasingly cumbersome for the local community to get too. Please protect
whatever resources we have for the people who live here and for future generations. It seems that we are often fooled to believe
change is good, but it is often times good for only a few and places extra burdens on the people who were born and raised their.
Again, Mahalo for your service, Mahalo for protecting the Aina for our Keiki.
