Is your interest in this matter clearly distinguishable from that of
the general public?
Yes.
If your answer is "yes," please explain.
Statement of Susan M. Wood:
I am a former Vice President of Beach Road Neighborhood
Watch (right on Beach off Makuku).
.1 have watched Ryan reach out to our local representatives to
request help with our local road security problems. He has also
organized multiple garbage removals from our road with a crew
of residents and a dump truck, and he is not yet a resident.
He is a compassionate person who knows how to inspire
neighborhood improvement, He allowed our neighborhood watch
to have two meetings on his land, providing tents as shelter. He
is a positive influence on not only his own property, but also on
our neighboring property and on the community during his
frequent visits.
We have been living on this road for 22 years, and no one during
those decade has demonstrated even a fraction of Ryan's level of
neighborhood involvement. His mere presence alters the nature
of our community.
In time the property next to us has been purchased three times.
We have received three requests for comments such as this. This
is my first positive response.
Signed Susan M. Wood
Statement of Donald Wood:
Ryan personifies the sign that greets each driver entering our
Beach Road from Makuku; "Malama Aina — Please Help the
MEN OF PNA Keep Beach Road Clean, Positive Action Alliance."
Ryan cares about making lives on Beach Road safer, and
garbage free, enjoyable for all ages, locals and tourists alike.
I have known Rayan for three years, and have developed
tremendous respect for his character and his deep commitment
to doing what is right for everyone associated with him.
