The noun Preservationist is defined as: "One who advocates preservation, especially of natural areas, historical sites, or endangered species." AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARY of the English Language 3rd Ed. Mayor Kim's $80,000.00 political give away, to the intellectually dishonest psycho- babble specialists known as James Kent Associates, for the alleged purpose of talking to the people of Ka'u; "about their concerns involving development and change"...."especially related to the Sea Mountain Five proposal," and then report back is a sham, deceitful, and defamatory. The report summary intentionally mis-defines preservation so that the reader may be hood-winked into believing that preservation is bad and "conservation" is good. Therefore, if preservation is bad, then Ka'u Preservation is bad. The report states: "The notion that a resource would be locked up and taken away from the people (preservation) was foreign to them." No one in Ka'u Preservation has ever advocated the taking away and locking up any resource. In fact, the opposite is true. We advocate the preservation of the coast of Ka'u for all species, including humans. We advocate that the coast of Ka'u should not be developed with housing and commercial building, but rather left as open space for the education and enjoyment of all, rich and poor and all those in between. We advocate the protection of local fishing rights. We advocate the protection of endanged species and preservation of Hawaiian history and culture in a living sense, not as a caricature in a cement environment. We advocate that commercial and housing development be reasonably placed in our existing communities of Ocean View, Na'alehu and Pahala. Ka'u Preservation supports agriculture in Ka'u. Ka'u Preservation supports infrastructure development in Ka'u. Ka'u Preservation supports good jobs for the people of Ka'u. Ka'u Preservation is made up exclusively of volunteers who owe their loyalities to no developer or land owner. Rather, the members and supporters of Ka'u Preservation owe L~.q, q3c~ their loyalties to our ethical and cultural time so that all may live to their fullest and CAllttll: NOa , ` stave off a premature ending to the magic and sacredness of Ka'u and Hawaii itself.
