RE: APPROVAL OF FUNUS TC C'<" ` : 'I.ETE MAMALAHOA ROAD WORK
We are a small retail store with only four er ~ =u~~~4s most born and raised in Hawaii.
We specialize in high quality made•in•Ilawr ° f:-oducts so, indirectly, we support another
40 Big Island artists, crafters and food oroc ~
In our six years in business, we have r.e•:-er ,-r ~^rienced such a dramatic drop in sales as
we have had during the recent road crnstr-• n.
We intend to survive this co0apse in Pursir ; aut our resources are limited. Every day
the project drags on threatens our exi~ten
We are sad the road work has pui an end i - rong•fime tradition of setting fresh Waipi'o
poi of our store. We have been fold over rr ' ver chat if was "the best poi" many had
ever tasted...or, that ii was Pike the po` pec-; = remembered from sma/t kid time. We were
forced to stop carrying poi because our red r ~i, . customers, stressed fo the max by frefflc
jams, simply would not spend the extra 5• ~ , mutes fo make "one more stop" for poi of
Cook's Discoveries, even if it was made h . e~nr! fresh that morning from Lehua kalo ~ '
grown in Waipi'oJ Auwe. If is nv longs- r r~:=, re anywhere on a regular basis.

Nevertheless, we have supported tiir~ rcr.~', _ - ect from the beginning as necessary, V ~ ~
especially since we cannot anticipate ? rr ~?eded Waimea Bypass becoming a reality ~
for several more years. But we canna: nrr~ ; rorever. We urge every effort be pursued ` ~ "S
to complete this project on scherrf1le yr : of schedule. u
