KEHRBERG, Norma

Norma Kehrberg has been a resident of the Hawaii Kai community for 25 years having moved from the Nuuanu area in 1979. She has enjoyed the growth of businesses, restaurants and facilities for recreation in the mixed living environment of Hawaii Kai. During the past five years, development has put added stress on traffic, parking and the post office but they are manageable. I am opposed to changing approved plans in ways that add further increased population and more stress on existing facilities. Expansion of family homes to accommodate extended family is encouraged and welcomed. A second concern is for pedestrians as increased population adds to the dangers, particularly in walkways without lights. Other areas to concern include the left turn signal at the Safeway and Long's corner and a review of property tax assessment in the Hawaii Kai area.

Norma is an educator and administrator by profession. She lived and worked in Nepal with the United Methodist Church and has worked with HMSA. She was a teacher on the mainland for six years. She is interested in the arts, music, and exercise and continuing to have ample opportunities for variety of worship opportunities within the Hawaii Kai area.

REILLY, Elizabeth

Aloha, it has been an honor to fulfill the At-large vacancy for the Hawaii Kai Neighborhood Board. My experience as the newest NH Board member has put me in touch with many of you regarding a variety of issues which ultimately call for action to protect and improve the livability of our community. I will continue to be a proactive Board member, uphold the integrity of the East Honolulu Sustainable Communities Plan and seek ways to improve our Neighborhood Board meetings with greater community involvement. My work with Livable Hawaii Kai Hui, Ka Iwi Coalition and Kamilo Nui Valley will continue to focus on saving our special places, fostering community pride and preserving the authenticity of our Hawaii Kai.

TURNER, Noble H.

I am Noble Turner, a 19 year resident of Hawaii Kai. I love this community and will do all I can to 'vote for what is best' for this Jewel by the Sea. Coming from 21 years in Boston, where I operated my own Psychiatric Private Clinic, I have come to adore the trade winds, roaring ocean, and flowers blooming, everywhere. I love the people of this community and have been proud to serve as the founder of the Koko Kai, and Triangle's first Security Watch Mobile Patrol, and as the Chairman of the Architectural Standards Committee, during a difficult time of re-writing guidelines. If I am elected to the board, I will do what I can to protect the awesome environment, and reject the push, of some, for a much more crowded Hawaii Kai. A line at the Post Office and at Longs, used to not exist. Now, the line is sometimes 10 to 12 people, patiently waiting. I have come to respect these awesome Islands, where I have raised my son, and can imagine living nowhere else. I will bring a fresh perspective to the Neighborhood Board, and have proven my leadership skills several times over the decades.

WELLER, Gary E.

Dear friends and members of the Hawaii Kai Neighborhood Board: We are over developed in Hawaii Kai and it has been way too long that the developers have dominated the destiny of our community. Experience as a community activist tells me that the Hawaii Kai Neighborhood Board is the first line of defense. If I am elected to the Board, I will honor my commitment and allegiance to our neighborhood and strive to curtail any additional development. As a member, I will also put the community first in all areas - from schools, roads, waterways and vehicular traffic, to water and sewage concerns. I will continue to uphold the integrity of the East Honolulu Sustainable Communities Plan, seek ways to help our neighborhood with greater community involvement and continue to work with Livable Hawaii Kai Hui, the Ka Iwi Coalition, and to keep Kamilo Nui Valley an open space for agriculture in the future. We all live in the most beautiful state in the nation. The time has come to stop the destruction and extinction of its natural beauty. I am committed to preserving the authenticity and allure of our Hawaii Kai and in turn fostering our community pride.

PARKE, Michael

Aloha, fellow residents of Kuliouou. I just finished my first term on the Kuliouou/Aina Haina Neighborhood Board and found the system to be quite useful for expressing our concerns to both City and County officials and State of Hawaii officials. I believe the current Board was successful in preventing unwanted development and in promoting certain improvements to our community. If elected to a second term, I want to push for quicker (and longer-lasting) repairs to our roads, improvements to our parks and our current recycling programs, and pedestrian/bicycle safety. If the neighborhood so desires, I would also be a strong advocate for undergrounding our utility lines, so they will be less vulnerable to extreme weather and seismic events. Mahalo.

Issues that continue to concern me, and impact this community, are crime, increased traffic from constant building both Koko Head and Diamond Head of us, and attempts to increase the building density in our neighborhood. If you have other issues that you would like to have addressed by the Neighborhood Board, please call me. I will attempt to get those issues on our agenda. I teach Accounting at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

CONE, Jim

Hawaii and Honolulu has approached a pinnacle point in its history. The population and building growth of the Island of Oahu as well as the needs towards its economic infrastructure has put a monstrous lack of discernment towards the individual citizen in the communities. As this being my 4th term on a Neighborhood Board, I want to continue to be a voice of concern for my community. I want to bring logic and grass roots discernment into how we maintain our communities. My priorities are Hawaii's children and elderly. As an owner of two business's, Matrix Media of Hawaii Inc. and Genergraphics Corporation and having 4 small children of my own, I live daily and understand the difficulties we face as citizens on Oahu and I might add from multiple points of view. I look forward to another term as a member of my Neighborhood board so that I may serve my community.

I want to continue working for Kaimuki and respectfully ask for your vote. Even more, I hope you will want to be a part of our grassroots democracy program and attend the monthly meetings of the Kaimuki Neighborhood Board, which take place on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at Liliuokalani Elementary School.

Kaimuki is a vibrant neighborhood and an appealing destination for many people.

CAIN, S. Michael

I earned a Masters in Urban Planning from Manoa in 2004, and have a strong interest in urban design and how it affects a community. While the new rail system won't be coming directly into our neighborhood, it will still affect traffic patterns, investment, and development along Kapahulu and Wai`alae Avenues. My primary interest in serving on the Board is to help ensure that any development keeps the needs and values of our community in mind. I want to see a neighborhood where the businesses remain local, where public transport is more accessible, and where the sidewalks and streets are safe and friendly for pedestrians and bicyclists.

LUCKETT, Deborah A.

I obtained my Master's Degree in Public Health from the University of Hawaii with a special emphasis in environmental & occupational health. In my present profession I serve as a consultant to small companies in the healthcare profession. I have been a Hawaii resident since 1979 and a St. Louis Heights resident/homeowner since 1985. My candidacy arose from a myriad of concern regarding the direction that Honolulu will embark upon in its quest to become a world class city. Community concerns range from a lack of curbside recycling, access to healthcare, smart growth, environmental friendly building strategies, pollution, homelessness, crime and traffic. Mahalo & Aloha.

NARITA, Bertram T.

Currently serves as Neighborhood Board No. 5, Treasurer. St. Louis Heights resident for over 50-years. Served in the military for 30 years (U.S. Air Force and later in the National Guard). My concern is for our fellow district residents and the escalating tax burden, with little if any return in the form of services and/or improvements to our neighborhood. Many homes in our neighborhood are assessed near the million dollar mark and the current infrastructure is 'third world' at best. When we ask for improvements we are told we must provide 50% of the cost. We experience flooding because of the lack of a comprehensive storm drain system, we lack adequate parking spaces and many risk their personal safety because of the lack of safe walkways along public streets. Active member of the St. Louis Heights Community Association, the Neighborhood Watch and Fire Wise. Happily married for 40 years and am blessed with two adult children. If reelected I will continue to serve the community and voice their concerns. Recently, my recommendation for an audit of certain commissions to evaluate their service to the public, and the technology which involves elevator safety during power emergencies has been acted on by the State House. I am also active in the Hawaii State Association of Parliamentarians, and military associations. Mahalo nui loa, for allowing me to serve our neighborhood.

Currently I am the editor/publisher of Model Cars Magazine, which is published out of Denver, Colorado. The reason I would like to be on the 2007 Neighborhood Board for Palolo is that I am seeing the Hawai`i I grew up with disappearing before our eyes. The neighborhoods are becoming less and less of an ohana. I truly believe one person can make a difference, no matter how small that difference is. I have no hidden agendas or loyalties, except to the people of Hawai`i. I look forward to serving the neighborhood and community of Palolo in 2007.

This upcoming term I plan to again make public health and safety my primary concern and focus. I sincerely believe that the safer the Manoa community is, the more time and energy we can spend on the environmental, social, and economic development issues that the valley continues to face. I believe that we in Manoa can adapt to whatever the future may hold for us while preserving our beautiful environment, rich cultural heritage, and wonderful community pride and spirit. I humbly ask for your vote as I seek re-election to another term serving you on your Manoa Neighborhood Board.

ADAMS, Jo-Ann M.

I have been a member of the Waikiki Neighborhood Board since May 2005. I have attended all but one meeting during my tenure. During the meetings I actively listened, voiced citizen concerns and asked probing questions of government representatives and elected officials. I was not going to run again because my time is so limited: I have not been able to reach out to the constituency and pursue issues that arise in the board meetings. However, I have been encouraged by other board members to run based solely on my participation in the board meetings. If my neighbors agree that my limited involvement is making a contribution, I will be honored to serve again.

AMONG, Les A.

Les A. Among has served the WNB#9 for five terms. He also was Secretary and Chair for Sub-district 1 during his terms on the Board. He is very active on issues that concern the residents of Waikiki. He supports fighting crime, creation of jobs in his district and property rights of owner residents in Waikiki.

CARROLL, Helen T.

My name is Helen Carroll, and I am a candidate for the Waikiki Neighborhood Board due to the encouragement of many in the Waikiki Community who are familiar with my community involvement. I have been a resident of Waikiki since 1984, and since that time have been very involved in community issues and concerns. I have served as a Director on a number of organizations relating to community affairs, which includes the HCAAO addressing condominiums, the Hale Coalition, addressing leasehold property concerns, the Cooperative Apartment Board of Directors where I reside, and currently the Waikiki Residents Association. I have attended Waikiki Neighborhood Board meetings on a regular basis for the majority of the years of my Waikiki residency, addressing issues of concern with testimony, and have provided testimony at the Honolulu City Council Meetings. Should I be elected, I will always focus on the impact of issues upon the community. We, the residents must protect our home, Waikiki.

GRUNTZ Raymond A.

ALOHA, I need your vote again, to continue efforts against the RAIL in WAIKIKI. We need HOT LANES, express HIGHWAY that will cost (ONE THIRD) the cost of the TRAIN. I WON'T GET OUT OF MY CAR, WILL YOU? PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY WANT RAIL, EXPECT YOU TO RIDE IT, NOT THEM. Over building in WAIKIKI has to STOP. As a retired NYC- PD Detective from MANHATTAN, I came here to get away from what is about to come here. Some day I will convince our elected officials, to copy NY State LOITERING LAW for HAWAII, WE DON'T HAVE ONE. RUDY used it to cleanup NYC. If you think OVERBUILDING is okay, the TRAIN is needed in WAIKIKI, and our Police don't need better LAWS that they can work with; DON'T VOTE FOR ME. Come to our Neighborhood Board meetings and read our meeting minutes; see who has your back. I have been the only person with 100% attendance at our Neighborhood Board meetings the past 4 years and 10 months. Watch our Neighborhood Board meetings on Friday night at 9 pm, on Olelo; Chnl. 54. Also Director of Ilikai Marina Condominium Association Board and Director of Waikiki Residents Association. MAHALO!

POOLE, Jim

I am a retired Naval Officer who is now a professor of Computer Science at Honolulu Community College. I am a long time resident of Waikiki and have had the honor of serving on the Neighborhood Board for the past six years. I am presently serving as chair of Subdistrict #1 and chair of the Education committee. I have listened to your concerns of uncontrolled growth and not properly designing for the related elements of sewage, sidewalks, traffic control, noise control, and crime control. Without a proper design solution, the four new towers to be erected in the Hobron – Hilton area will cause traffic gridlock and a threat to our safety as both motorists and pedestrians.

SIMPSON, Mary H.

I am presently on the board and look forward to representing the residents of Waikiki for another full 2-year term. If re-elected, I will continue to support resident & visitor safety issues for Waikiki. I believe Waikiki needs to be treated as a neighborhood as well as a tourist destination. As a small business owner I am concerned about rising property taxes. Member of NAACP and Small Business Administration. Mahalo nui loa for all your support!

SWORD, Carol A.

In the past I have been a two-term elected member of the Waikiki Neighborhood Board and served as its Treasurer. Recently I was appointed to fill the vacancy left by our newly elected State Representative. Before the appointment, I attended nearly every meeting because I am a concerned citizen. Among our many issues, noise is considered the most important by many of our residents because our subdistrict is constantly plagued by traffic, car alarms, beepers, etc. As a member of the Neighborhood Board, I want to join in the effort to reduce noise. Leasehold and taxes are other issues that are of great concern to our residents. Because many of our seniors are living on fixed incomes, I will fight any tax increase that will limit their ability to provide for their needs. Tourism is still the economic engine that runs our economy, and my experience in the travel industry has given me the knowledge needed to find solutions to problems that are now confronting us in a highly competitive world for visitors and the dollars they spend. If I am elected, I will continue to participate in the process that gives us all a voice in our government.

PERSONIUS, Richard

Aloha Friends & Neighbors, My name is Richard Personius and I am seeking a seat on the Waikiki Neighborhood Board, Sub-district 2. Together with my wife Hitomi, I live in the Aloha Lani Condominiums on the Ala Wai. For the last 7 years, I have made Waikiki my home. I am currently the Director of Research for a local real estate firm. Previously, I worked as a researcher for the Hawaii State Senate. As a professional researcher, experience has taught me that it is essential to listen to all of the facts before drawing a conclusion. Too often, our elected officials have forgotten that golden rule. As an elected member of our neighborhood board I will: seek out community input on issues brought before the board, listen to all of my neighbors' ideas and concerns, work to ensure that our community's voice is heard and addressed by City and State government. I want to know what you think. Please take the time to answer the survey I sent to all registered voters in Sub-district 2. Please visit my website www.richardpersonius.com Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. Please vote for Personius: Neighborhood Board.

BALCHER, Charles I.

My name is Chuck Balcher. I am 55 yrs. Old, married to a Filipino lady, three boys ages 10, 9 and 5. I was the President of Friends Of Jefferson, a community- school organization, whose purpose is to raise money, through fundraisers, to help Jefferson school finance programs like hiring tutors to improve students reading performance. Born in Ohio, I graduated from Ohio State University, with a Bachelors Degree in Social Work. I also attended the Masters of Philosophy program at Cleveland State University. I worked as a social worker upon graduation before moving to Hawaii, in 1977. I speak Japanese and taught intermediate Japanese locally at Maryknoll and Mid-pac High Schools. I sold real estate in Hawaii for ten years earning several top salesman awards. I'm a registered republican and I am interested in becoming more involved with the Republican Party in any way I can help. I am a firm Bush supporter. I feel the lack of support, President Bush receives is reprehensible. My most ardent point is to offer convincing logic for America to stay in Iraq, until the Iraqi people can provide for their own security.

BENEVENTO, Bert

In response to 77% who voted in favor of a "Pedestrian & Bike Friendly" Honolulu. D) Noise reduction: Air traffic re-route, siren night-time volume reduction, muffler enforcement, etc. E) Air pollution: Tough emission standards needed for motor vehicles. F) Beach & Park Cleanliness: More control over "activities" by the homeless. G) Density limits: Oppose efforts to increase height limits in Waikiki and surrounding areas.

COOK, Jonathan E.

Aloha Neighbors! I am a Radford High School graduate, now working in Internet Marketing. My memories go back to the days of Termite Palace and Aku Pupule. Like you, I believe our concerns have often been drowned out by the loud voice of the tourism industry. If that persists, we will lose a great neighborhood. Our neighborhood. I don't claim to have all the answers. No one does. What I do promise is to listen to your concerns and ideas with an open mind and a closed mouth. Better Infrastructure - Last year's sewage spill was preventable. We must learn from that to stop future problems BEFORE they happen. Better Planning – More, and bigger, buildings have an impact that's rarely considered before ground breaks. That must change. Now. Better Neighbors - We need coordinated efforts to get rid of the drug dealers and the problems they bring to our neighborhoods. I have an idea of how we can do this. Please join with me so we can preserve and improve Waikiki local life.

DUNCAN, Norman L.

My primary concerns are noise pollution, graffiti and affordable housing. I am committed to keeping Waikiki the best place to own and live. I would appreciate your vote. Mahalo!

MERZ, Jeff

Waikiki continues to be the most unique, vibrant and diverse neighborhood in Hawaii, not to mention its unrivaled status as the tax, wage and revenue generator for the state. Without Waikiki, our entire state economy would collapse. Why do we not receive our fair share of infrastructure modernizations, police services, park and canal maintenance, social services, transit/bike improvements and good long-term planning and design?

Our enjoyment of our Waikiki lifestyle comes with the responsibility for Waikiki's long term future. With your vote, I will continue to use my urban planning background, first-hand knowledge with local government procedures and officials, and my past two year's experience as your elected representative on the Neighborhood Board, to bring about OUR long-term vision for Waikiki. This vision can be neither short-sighted nor provincial. It requires input from newcomers, kama'aina, college students, children, retirees, business owners/operators, service industry workers, families, partners, investors, politicians and visitors. No one group has a monopoly on our Waikiki vision. Needed redevelopment continues in Waikiki and new projects are bringing vibrancy to our neighborhood. Let's harness this energy to ensure a well-planned, equitable, sustainable, pedestrian-friendly, technologically-cutting edge and inclusive community built on a foundation of genuine Hawaiian design and culture.

PETERS. Michael

Aloha! It has been a pleasure serving our community as an elected member of the Waikiki Neighborhood Board. Since first being elected in 2001, I have gained extensive knowledge of all issues affecting our community. I understand Waikiki and will work tirelessly to create a more beautiful and safe community. This includes working for safer streets and bus stops, less unnecessary urban noise, and more choices for condo-owners, apartment renters, and co-op dwellers. I am tough on crime, sensitive to our traffic and parking mess, and troubled about rising property taxes. Concerned about the environment, I was outraged by Waikiki's massive sewage spill and believe everything possible should be done to prevent another similar environmental disaster from ever happening again. This includes greater awareness of our carrying capacity and underground infrastructure limits before any additional large-scale development projects are approved. Active and involved in the community: C.A.N. (Citizens Against Noise); Let Honolulu Vote; Surfrider Foundation; Waikiki Aquarium; Read Aloud America; St. Augustine Church; Grassroot Institute; Hawaii Bicycling League. Current teacher and part-time visitor industry professional. Maui C.C. and Hawaii Pacific University graduate. I humbly ask for your vote and please contact me anytime with your questions and concerns. Mahalo!

SMITH, Mark

My name is Mark Smith. If elected to the neighborhood board I will do my best to represent Waikiki residents and their concerns about noise in our neighborhood. I helped bring back the organization called Citizens Against Noise and I am the groups Vice President. In this role I have been meeting with government and elected officials to voice the concerns of people like you and me about the noise caused by modified vehicle mufflers and by bars and nightclubs that don't operate by the rules. As a child I attended Thomas Jefferson Elementary School and Washington Intermediate while living in Waikiki in the early 60's. My ties to this neighborhood go back a long way and I have witnessed many changes, some good and some bad. I am a retired financial manager having spent my entire career working for Silicon Valley firms in the San Francisco Bay Area and in Japan. Today, I run a family business in Hawaii and I am a resident of the Liliuokalani Gardens. If like me, you are concerned about noise in Waikiki, then I hope you will vote for me to represent you on the Waikiki Neighborhood Board.

Ala Moana/Kakaako Neighborhood Board No. 11

SUBDISTRICT 01 (4 Seats available)

HEDLUND, Nancy L.

Nancy L. Hedlund is committed to representing residents and small businesses in the Ala Moana/Kaka'ako neighborhood. This specifically includes supporting development of parks, bus transportation improvements, survival of small businesses, and development of middle-income housing. The community needs more open green parks and free recreation space because of increases in population density and costs from all the new high-rise condo development. One recent achievement was work with other citizens last Spring ("Save Kaka'ako") to block the state from selling precious shorefront land in Kaka'ako makai for private luxury residential development. Commitment to improving the community also includes maintaining a steady presence at monthly meetings of the HCDA, the Hawai'i Community Development Authority which is the state agency that has authority for Kaka'ako. And it means going to City Council meetings and regularly submitting testimony to state and city-county agencies on matters of community concern. Finally, commitment to the community means supporting bus guideways and other alternatives to the exorbitant costs of fixed rail that will burden citizens for decades and create an eyesore in our community. Serving on the Ala Moana/Kaka'ako is a privilege and an act of commitment.

Downtown Neighborhood Board No. 13

AU, Alvin

Downtown NB Member-16 years; Attorney; Government and Military Leader; Vietnam combat veteran; Colonel-U.S. Army Retired; Life-long resident in the Chinatown community; Goal: To enhance and improve the quality of life for Downtown residents; and to promote, encourage and stimulate the neighborhood business and economy.

CORNELL, Dorothy I.

KIM, Bruce J.

LAVOIE, Frank A.

I am a resident of the Chinatown Gateway Plaza and own and operate a small restaurant, Kafe Europa, also located Downtown. My whole family enjoys the metropolitan lifestyle of our neighborhood. We walk to work, walk our son to preschool and walk to Chinatown for shopping. I will work hard to make our neighborhood an even better place to live. The drug and prostitution crimes are the foremost issues affecting our safety. The homeless that reside on our street corners and parks need more government and private support to improve their lives. Other items to watch include the new rail line that will change the look and feel of our city, the rapid growth of construction, the constant infrastructure repairs, and the overall economic vitality of our neighborhood. Current Board meetings have the tone of a memorial service, with very few regular attendees. Citizen proposals, with a guaranteed discussion and yes or no vote, are an option I will offer to help promote community involvement. My past work experience includes serving in the Peace Corps, working for the UN, employment with the State departments of Labor and Taxation, and also as a budget analyst for the State Senate.

MARLIN, Anthony D.

I received my Bachelor Science in Business Administration at HPU 2004. Currently I am pursuing Masters Science in Information Systems part-time which affords me the time commitment needed to serve our Downtown/Chinatown and Neighborhood Board #13 community. Why even run? Nothing is going to change! You may have asked yourself these questions. I certainly have... many times. As a former US Marine, I know that giving-up is not an option. This time, I'm going to make a difference. My first priority will be Affordable Rentals in our community. I have an interest in improving conditions in our neighborhood because I have lived in Chinatown for nearly eight years and I want to continue to live here for at least eight more! Many people have told me that I have a lot of passion and energy but that I sure do ask a lot of questions. My response? "It's about time somebody did." We need our community vote in order to win this thing flat out. Let's get me on the Downtown/Chinatown Neighborhood Board No.13 so I can make a difference.Aloha and Mahalo

MATUSOW, Lynne

I, Lynne Matusow, have been a member of the Downtown Neighborhood Board for 19 years and am its Vice Chair. My top priority is making our area cleaner and safer by fighting crime, drugs and prostitution. To that end I worked for the recertification and expansion of the Weed and Seed Program which has reduced crime in the community and the recent expansion of downtown's prostitution free zone, which hopefully will remove the prostitutes from Kukui Street so all of us can go to Zippy's, Long's and Safeway without being solicited by prostitutes. I support increased police resources. My other concerns are economic revitalization, expanding cultural activities, noise sanitation, pedestrian safety, better street lighting and parks. I worked hard to get both the Smith/Beretania and Pele Mini Parks built and advocated that the repaving of Beretania Street not be done at night. In response, the City said that no night construction will take place between Alakea Street and the Ewa end of A'ala Park. I am also a Honolulu Tower director. I will continue to ensure your voice is heard.

MIDDLETON, Carl

For two (2) years now, I have had the pleasure of being one of your voices on our neighborhood board. Thank you. Because we, as a community, have been successful, I wish to do it all again. I would like to be re-elected. I humbly ask for your vote. I will be an independent thinker, planner and doer, again. Again, in the areas of safety and security I will press hard those leaders that are responsible for your safety and security. I will ask the tough questions in order to maximize their cooperation. Keeping our neighborhood productive and profitable will also be one of my top concerns. I will get the job done!

RUBY, T.A.

I've been a downtown resident for the past 18 years; also from 1974 - 1978 while a member of the U.S. Army. I feel the downtown neighborhood board needs new members to offer fresh ideas to deal with ongoing problems. I am quite familiar with the crime, drugs, and homeless challenges that the area has faced for years. Add to that litter, noise, graffiti, panhandling, traffic, etc that diminish the quality of life in the downtown area. Clearly current actions are not solving the problems, so perhaps some new ideas should be presented.

SMYTH, Tom

I have twelve years of Neighborhood Board experience, including several years as Chairperson. Work for a state agency dealing with small business issues that are important to businesses in the Downtown/Chinatown area.

I will listen to the concerns of our residents and try to help them achieve their ideas for a better community for all of us. We have come a long way in achieving our goals to make the Downtown/Chinatown neighborhood a better place to live, work and raise our families. There is still much to do to make our neighborhood what we want it to be and I pledge my time and energy in making that happen.

Some times we need to change the way we look at things, and I will look at things in a difference way. In closing I ask for your vote, I may not have the experience as the incumbents but I am willing to learn and do my best. Thank You.

However, there is still a lot to be accomplished and I believe that I can help make a difference.

I also believe that, each board member should be open to the residents' concerns and make recommendations to the other board members, of possible resolutions to their concerns.

BELFORD, Scott

The Neighborhood Board is your best opportunity to reach Hawaii`s elected officials and government representatives. It is your local voice. I want to represent you on this board and hold our State, City, and Federal officials accountable to the interests of Ewa. They need a tough and tenacious person to remind them of our needs. I have resided in Ewa for many years. I have already demonstrated my commitment to the community by attending nearly every Board meeting, managing the office of our State Senator, and running for Hawaii's House of Representatives. Through the work of my charity, HOSEF, I have put computer labs in the City Park on North Road, the Boys and Girls Club, Westloch Elderly Village, and in James Campbell High School. I understand what our needs are, and I have an innovative history of getting things done in spite of the obstacles. As your representative on the Ewa Beach Neighborhood Board, I will ask the City for more buses in our community and that they serve all of Ewa. I will advocate for sidewalks in communities where they were promised long ago. I will work with our police for a safer and more stable community.

SMITH, Garry P.

Aloha, my name is Garry P. Smith. I am a retired U.S. Navy Commander. You may remember me as I was elected to two terms on the Ewa Neighborhood board from 1999-2003. Ewa beach has intolerable traffic problems, development is out of control, the city and state appear to have forgotten about us and the schools are overcrowded and hot. Our state senator Willie Espero works for developer D R Horton and he wants to increase our traffic problems getting to H1 by building 11,700 more houses in the Hoopili development in Waipahu. Rep. Rida Cabanilla and her office manager Tom Berg want to build a tunnel at Iroquois point that will bring 4,000 more cars into ewa beach every hour. Mayor Hannemann has doubled our property taxes in 3 years and increased the General Excise Tax in order to fund the rail system costing each family of four over $450 per year forever and the rail will not even have a station in ewa beach. On each of these issues the ewa neighborhood board has remained silent. It's time to restore a voice to the ewa neighborhood board who will speak for our needs. Please vote for me.

BAUTISTA, L. Gary

I am a present member of the Ewa Neighborhood Board and I am seeking your support for re-election for another term. My name is Luriano Bautista a.k.a. L.Gary Bautista. I was born and raised in Waipahu near August Ahrens School. My father worked for the Oahu Sugar Plantation Company and when the Plantation closed, they moved my parents to the Ewa Villages in 1976. I worked and lived in the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East for many years. I returned from the Middle East 14 years ago (1993) and have lived in the Ewa Villages since then. A few years after my return, many of my friends said "you have been gone so long that it is now your turn to give back to the community – just like what we did and what your father did". Tanx for your support. Cheers.

BERG, Thomas

I seek your support for a third consecutive term. My priority is to bring transportation projects within 96706 to completion. For instance, we should be connecting Keoneula Blvd. to Coral Sea Road through Ocean Pointe, Keaunui Drive to Renton Road through Ewa by Gentry, and the Child and Family Service complex to Old Fort Weaver Road. It should be required that the proposed East West Connector Road that will link UHWO in Kapolei with Ft. Weaver Road near Aawa Drive be constructed first prior to any additional commercial or residential development being permitted to take hold. The developer needs to complete the widening of Geiger Road to Roosevelt Ave. and the State Ft. Weaver Road all the way to Papipi Road. Safety measures such as adding traffic signal at Auwaha Street with Renton Road and a street light at the Renton/Roosevelt Gate should be erected as soon as possible. In addition to Legislative Chair for the Board, I volunteer for the Oahu Resource & Development Council and produce television programs on Olelo such as "For Ewa Today" (Sundays at 7PM, Ch 54) and "Community Association Living" (Wednesdays at 4:30PM, Ch 52). Thank you for your consideration.

DOWLAND, Philip N.

My name is Philip Dowland and I would appreciate your support in my efforts to serve on the Ewa Beach Neighborhood Board. I'm a retired U. S. Navy Chief with (28) years of loyal and faithful service to our Country. My wife and I have (3) children and (6) grand-children of whom we are very proud. Although not a career politician, I feel it's time to become involved to ensure that the voice of our "collective community" is accurately conveyed to our local government. While there are a myriad of issues facing our community (crime, traffic congestion, graffiti, education, etc.) there are not adequate resources to simultaneously address these issues. If allowed to represent our community on the Ewa Beach Neighborhood Board, my pledge to you is that: (1). I will solicit your opinions on the issues facing our community. (2). I will prioritize them in order of importance to you (the community). (3). I will present our community's unified, prioritized concerns to local government officials. (4). Most importantly, hold local government officials accountable for their actions in addressing our community's concerns. Please cast your vote for Philip Dowland as I welcome the opportunity to work with you in our endeavor to make Ewa Beach the best community on O'ahu. Thank you and GOD BLESS.

TYNANES, Mitchell M.

Mitchell sees even greater and faster growth for Ewa when the new transit system begins construction in two years. His goal as a member of Neighborhood Board #23 is to see that the community's residents have full input into the project's particulars and Transit Oriented Development (TOD), and that the many new residential and commercial developments planned for the district contribute to, rather than detract from, Ewa's affordability and sense of community. Further relief of traffic congestion on Fort Weaver Road, crime prevention and youth programs, school repairs and maintenance, truly affordable housing, and local job creation are also priorities for Mitchell. A Field Representative of the Hawaii Carpenters Union, responsible for a number of union services to members, including jobsite safety, hiring, training, grievances, and wage and contract procedures on Oahu. Mitchell is very involved in community and workforce development programs such as counseling at high school career days and at Honolulu Community College's Construction Academy.

BROWNE, Vincent S. "Cousin Vinny"

Aloha. As someone who has dedicated his entire life to law enforcement, I am concerned with the safety and security of our community and our children. While our representatives play politics as usual, ice and other drugs are becoming an epidemic here on the Waianae Coast. We cannot continue to move backwards. We need new and strong leadership so that we, as a community, can solve these problems together. This is why I am asking for your vote, so that we can move forward together. Mahalo.

PERRY, Johnnie Mae L.

As a viable candidate, I would like to offer families an opportunity to own their own homes through "self-help ownership." My proposal was sent to our 2007 legislators to mandate a law whereby developers must designate 30% of their master plan to self-help development. Next, continue to attend BOE community meetings and education meetings to improve our public school system. Continue to work with children at Kaupuni Park in Wai'anae Valley Homestead with my free reading program. Monitor land use and not misuse is my third concern. Since 2003, I have been an active participant at the WCNB #24 regular monthly meetings, and as a result have become well known on the 'Olelo station, so people say. Fourth generation of Wai'anae.

Raised on the Wai`anae Coast, I attended Wai`anae Elementary and Wai`anae High Schools. After graduating from public school I received my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering. I then worked for a number of years for IBM in Boulder, Colorado and Tucson, Arizona in Facilities Management and Product Development as an engineer and supervisor. Upon returning home in 1993, I became involved in community issues and joined the Neighborhood Board in 1994. Since then I have held various positions on the board, including many years as Chair of the Neighborhood Board. Working on putting a Sustainable Communities Plan together for Wai`anae to continue to realize our desire to continue to maintain our rural character and keep Wai`anae country but still allow for controlled growth. I have fought to close the Waimanalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill and will continue to do so until new alternatives are implemented to take care of our municipal solid waste without having to put it into the aina. Providing solutions to our homeless/houseless problems on the coast is important but I also believe that every community needs to share in the solutions. I want to continue serving the Wai`anae community and ask for your vote.

SAYLORS, Denise

Waianae is rich in many things, for instance its loving and gracious spirit – the aloha spirit. My husband and I have been the recipients of much of this aloha and I would like to be a part of sharing this spirit by making this contribution to our community. I, Denise Saylors, a resident of the Ma'ili area of Waianae, want to serve our community and humbly ask for your vote for the Waianae Neighborhood Board. Some people have told me that I haven't lived here long enough to run for the Neighborhood Board. My reply to that is, "How long does a person have to live in a community before they know they care?" In 2006, my documentary about homelessness in Waianae, "This is Paradise?" showed on Olelo. My goal with that film was to help call attention to the crisis. My private and public sectors work experience has taught me management, budgeting and goal achievement. My Bachelors of Science degree is in Business Administration, from the University of California, Berkeley. Waianae has so much potential and I'd like to participate, along with all our neighbors, in helping our community attain more of that potential. Mahalo for Your Consideration, Denise.

BROWN, David L.

Aloha. My interest in serving on the Neighborhood Board, District #24, stems from a genuine care for the people and place we all call home. As your Hawaii State Archaeologist from 2005-2006, against powerful political agendas, I quickly realized the desperate need for honesty and integrity in our current political situation. Now more than ever, we need councilpersons that serve public interest, and adhere to rules and regulations. I state publicly that I am of sound ethical/moral character and possess the credentials, capabilities, philosophy and necessary experience to represent our community. I appreciate rural community ideals. I attended public schools, served in the Army, and hold a BS and Master's in Anthropology. My occupational experience includes construction, US Forest Service, and currently with a Native Hawaiian Organization owned company. I am dedicated to finding solutions to the many vital issues we face and am sensitive to our community's ability to maintain its rural atmosphere and values amidst progress and change. I bring a new voice, vision, and passion, and can implement improvement for the better, while preserving our Coastal District and keeping it pono. I am humbly and respectfully asking you for the privilege and opportunity to serve you. Mahalo.

BROWN, Rodlyn

My name is Rodlyn Brown and my husband Ed and I reside in Waianae. We bought our current home in 2002 and hope to be able to remain here for the rest of our lives. I first came to Waianae in the winter of 1948 to surf Makaha. I was a surfer from Santa Cruz, CA and the boys allowed me to surf back then because I could carry my own 10 foot wooden board. I have owned a variety of businesses in the past years from a winery to a gourmet food store to a wholesale gourmet food distributorship. I sold all of them to move permanently to Hawai'i. I am retired from jobs that pay, but I now hold many volunteer positions. I am currently the President of the Waianae Chapter of AARP and the treasurer of PAI (People Against Ice) here on the Waianae Coast. I would like very much to serve my community on the Neighborhood Board as well. I raised 5 children (2 girls and 3 sons -- all grown and parents themselves) as a single parent. My husband and I have been married for over 20 years and I am a grandmother and great grandmother and I also have 2 step daughters and their families.

The Waianae community has multi layers of issues pressing the community from protecting conservation and agriculture lands to natural resources such our ocean and its shoreline, to balancing the development of small local business with affordable housing but yet keeping a rural country feel. The focus should always be for the community as a whole and the best interest for our future and its residence. I would like to request your support in allowing me to return to the Neighborhood Board to continue my work with our many community issues.

We bought a home in Makaha in 1980. We have 11 wonderful children, 6 boys and 5 girls. My wife and I are very active in the community. Served on the Weed & Seed Program, Job and Training Committee. Working with the Waianae Complex Schools to get parents and the community to partner with the schools. Active with churches, working to help the homeless. But my big concern is our children and youth. I want a better Waianae so our young people can be proud to be from Waianae and have a positive view of their future.

HUDSON, Clyde L. IV

Aloha! I am Clyde, an LCC student and legislative intern, and I am running for the Waianae Neighborhood Board because I believe I can bring new ideas and perspective to the process. The neighborhood board is crucial in offering advice on issues to the powers that be. Many such issues affect you personally and directly: traffic, our single access road, civil defense, and many others. Fortunately, there are solutions. Makaha residents typically deal with the worst traffic since we have to pass through all the traffic lights on the coast. Perhaps we can reduce the problem by better synchronizing our traffic lights and finding other creative solutions. We should not settle for anything less than a second access road, and the laughable "bridge to nowhere" in Nanakuli is not enough. With the recent tsunami scare, it has become even more apparent that it would be difficult to evacuate our low lying areas in a short time span. An updated evacuation plan and another exit from our coast will save many lives when disaster strikes. Do you have any questions or ideas? Please contact me at Clyde@Hawaiiantel.net.Mahalo!

KEPKA, Paul

Wai`anae is my home and I am proud to be part of our community. As a committed teacher at Kamaile Elementary School, I see our children as our future. The decisions that we make today will rest upon the shoulders of our children tomorrow. Our community's vision of a sustainable future is of utmost importance. I would be honored to serve as a member of our neighborhood board.

KURSHALS, Maralyn A.

I have served several terms on the Wai`anae Neighborhood Board. I was the chair of the Education Committee and I am currently chair of the Housing Committee. I have lived most of my life in Hawai`i and my two children were born and raised here. I have worked with non profit organizations for over twenty-five years. I believe that community involvement and listening to one another is critical for positive change and solutions. No-one person or agency can do it alone. The Wai`anae Coast is undergoing rapid change and we need to make sure those changes are in keeping with our community based visions and goals. Integrity and sustainable planning will assure that our beautiful community endures. By working together, being honest and fair and utilizing all our resources, we can give our children, kupuna and all the people on the Wai`anae Coast quality education and health care, affordable housing, accessible transportation and a safe and drug free community.

PRESTANO, Charles P.

If elected to the Neighborhood board I promise to effectively listen to the community' s needs and respond. I believe that there are many changes going on in our district that need to be addressed including but not limited to traffic, crime prevention, homelessness, environmental concerns, and transit improvements. Vote for me to protect the future of the Waianae Coast.

AT-LARGE (4 Seats available)

ANDREWS, Elizabeth A.

As a 30-year resident of Mililani Town with a deep interest in the local and physical development of my "home town", I am happy to continue to serve on this Board. My work experiences involved teaching at several military and non-military elementary schools here in Hawaii. And my volunteer experiences centered around Girl Scouts (Central Oahu Unit Chairperson), Boy Scouts, and teaching and coaching tennis both in Mililani and surrounding areas. My main concerns are the present traffic problems facing working people and students who endure the gridlock every weekday on H-1 and H-2; and the overcrowding in our community that is threatening our life style and welfare because of unwise overbuilding of more houses.

CHUN, Erik

As a 24 year old born and raised in Mililani, I offer a new and much needed perspective to this neighborhood board. I believe my generation needs to be involved in the process of addressing the challenges that face this great community.

Currently I am working as a legislative aide for State Representative Bob Nakasone.

I have been a resident and home owner in Mililani since 1977.

I also am concerned about our community as a whole, and would like to participate in our local community government at any level. Currently, I am serving as President of the Mililani Toastmasters Club. As a Realtor, I am also concerned about the economic issues which affect Mililani, and by serving on the Neighborhood Board, I hope to give a positive voice to the wishes of Mililani residents, and to uphold the best interests of our community. Thank you for your confidence in me, and I look forward to serving as your Neighborhood Board representative.

BREMER, David

As a member of the Public Health and Safety Committee on NB #25, I support efforts to encourage residents to make Mililani a safe and enjoyable place to walk and enjoy outdoor activities. Traffic calming and speed limit enforcement can help to encourage courteous and responsible driving. The City also can stop stalling and open the Old Kamehameha Highway right-of-way through Kipapa Gulch as a pedestrian-bicycle pathway linking Mililani to the Central Oahu Regional Park. Keeping Oahu beautiful needs to be a City priority, and curbside recycling should be at the top of the list. I also favor an expanded bus service with dedicated bus lanes, and I doubt if the proposed rail system will be successful. After all, if the City can't even figure out how to pick up old newspapers, cans, and bottles, how much confidence can we have that it can build and operate a railroad? With your vote, I'll keep on advocating for responsive government and a healthy community.

CASTILLO-BARKLEY, Mary Jean L.

MASUNAGA, Kathleen H.

It has been an honor to serve on the Wahiawa Neighborhood Board for two terms, and to have been elected as Chair and Secretary by my peers. My vision for Whitmore Village and Wahiawa is to retain our "small town"

character while improving our community as we face the challenges of an aging population, homelessness, crime, traffic and transportation, military deployments and life long learning. All too often, other communities around Whitmore Village-Wahiawa are more successful in getting its share of community funds, services, enhancements and commercial investments. We can do BETTER. I am results oriented, and am often frustrated by the advisory nature of the Neighborhood Board system. Citizens often attend the meetings for solutions to their problems, only to learn that it must be referred to the appropriate city, state or federal agency. We can do MORE in creative ways. Each Neighborhood Board member must do more than just attend 10 meetings per year. Your vote would be appreciated. In the upcoming two-year term, your Neighborhood Board must cohesively take ACTION to increase the quality of life for Whitmore Village and Wahiawa and its multi-generations. Mahalo for your support!

ALAMEIDA, Jeffrey K.

Aloha – my name is Jeffrey Kalani Alameida and I ask for your vote to continue to represent Sub district 1 on the North Shore Neighborhood Board. I was raised on the North Shore; my family has been residents of Mokuleia for many generations. I currently serve as a member of the Neighborhood Board, trustee of the Waialua Community Association, North Shore Chamber of Commerce member, and volunteer with a number of local groups.

My motivation in seeking election to the North Shore Neighborhood Board is to serve the Community and to help preserve the country atmosphere we enjoy here. I believe we have substantial growth issues and we will need to deal with these issues in the near future. I am concerned about uncontrolled growth on the North Shore without adequate environmental impact planning, and I'm concerned about the damage excessive growth will have on our standard of living. We are all privileged to be part of the North Shore community... I would like to also be a part of enabling solutions to the issues we face in maintaining those qualities that have brought us together in this place.

LUNASCO, Ollie

NG, Jacob Y.W. (Jake)

As a candidate seeking reelection to my fifth term, I feel satisfied that I have endeavored to articulate and responded to the many issues and concerns of my constituents in the Waialua Sub-district. As an example, I championed the recent completion of the Waialua Beach Road Bikeway and Sidewalk Project, which extended from Crozier Loop to Weed Circle, after almost 4-years of efforts. I initiated efforts to mitigate flooding in Haleiwa, Paalaa Road, Haone Street and Otake Camp areas, participated in environmental and Wet Land programs, and a leader to improve our schools. However, there are major challenges facing the Board and the community: As a member of the Fire Commission, I am working to locate and build a new Fire Station. The station is about 70 years old, in a flood zone area, and cannot be updated. We need modern fire fighting equipment and technology because of the vast open lands vacated by sugar and pineapple and also for growth potential in our area. I am working to preserve and protect our diminishing agricultural land from development. Especially, our loi, hasu patches, and aquifers are vulnerable. Another major concern to the Board is the mauka watershed areas and the potential contaminants into our rivers and wetlands from prior agricultural uses.

My name is Jimmy Pua Kaioe Leonardi. I was born July 14, 1947, in Honolulu, Hawaii and grew up in Kapa'a, Kauai. I have been a resident of Walkerville, Kahuku for the past twenty five years. I am married to a "Kahuku Girl" and have two daughters, both currently attending college. My personal interest includes fishing, diving, body-boarding and collecting Hawaiian antique soda, and milk bottles I recently retired from the Army Reserves with the rank of Sergeant Major after serving for 29 years. I attended the University of Hawaii and received a Bachelor's Degree in Education and received a Professional Teaching Certificate from Brigham Young University- Hawaii Campus. I began my teaching career at Kahuku High School in 1974 teaching social studies, with special interest in Hawaiian History. I am currently teaching Guidance and also hold the position of "Kahuku Intermediate Student Activities Coordinator." My community service includes being a board member for Malama Ohana from 1996-current and Kahuku Village Association Vice President from 1996-current. Because of my background in history, I have written several papers and lectured on the Ahupua'a of Kahuku, the history of Kahuku town and Kahuku School to a variety of community groups and organizations.

PACHECO, Maria

Aloha, My name is Maria Pacheco. I have lived in Kahuku for 23 years. From1984 to 1994 I owned and operated a popular breakfast restaurant called Huevos. During those years, I participated in numerous community organizations. I am presently working as Resident Manager for Kuilima Estates East Condo's were I manage 168 units. Prior to this position I worked as Human Resource Manager for HMAA medical insurance group with 150 employees and most recently as a Real Estate Agent, where I served as Chairman of the Land Use Subcommittee for the Hawaii Association of Realtors testifying in the Legislature on behalf of 9,400 Hawaii members. My involvement with the Legislature, as well as, my knowledge of law having a paralegal certificate is a benefit in understanding procedure and knowing what questions to ask. Our community will be growing and changing as the developers in our area put their plans into motion. We need to look closely at the effects these plans will have on our community and evaluate if these changes will benefit us today and in the future. I look forward to hearing your concerns and passing them on so that your voice is heard. Mahalo!

PRIMACIO, Junior

I was born and raised in Kahuku, graduated from Kahuku High and am a Vietnam veteran. I worked for the Kahuku Sugar plantation for 17 years. I served on the ILWU negotiating team that provided benefits for all sugar workers in Hawaii. I have 40+ years of experience in community affairs, water issues, planning, financial, non-profit and land management. I am on the Kahuku Elderly Housing Board of Directors and the Kahuku Community Association Board of Directors; a former member of the State Department of Regulatory Agency-Board of Engineers and Surveyors; a former member of the Windward School Advisory Council, as appointment by the Governor; the former Chairman of the Kahuku School Advisory Committee and former General Manager of Kahuku Housing Corporation. I also served for several terms on the very first Neighborhood Board in our community. I believe Kahuku will have many new concerns in the coming years; we have seven new landowners who are seeking development. I would like to serve on the Neighborhood Board to address concerns and issues, and bring parties together to solve challenges.

PRIMACIO, Margaret M.

Aloha Kakou, I have lived and raised my family here for over 50 years. My paternal family immigrated here from the Phillipines in the 1920's and have had seven generations living in Kahuku. Koolauloa is a special place to live, work and play in and we must preserve what we hold most dear to us for the next generations. Daily in Kahuku I see families unconditionally extending their homes to family and friends less fortunate to share meals and fellowship. I see ordinary folks standing up to preserve our natural resources; speaking up for low cost homes; and helping protect our makua and kupuna and I am a proponent of these attributes as well. Along with my experience in the business office at Kahuku High & Intermediate School, the best school in Hawaii, having served as a former community association secretary, legislative aide, chair of planning groups and treasurer for two community groups enables me to understand issues before the Neighborhood Board. I would be honored to serve our Kahuku Community as a board member. Mahalo!

LETTS, Dee Dee D.

Chair Ko`olau Loa Neighborhood Board and member for over 24 years - member of the Ka`a`awa Community Association - Board member Mediation Center of the Pacific, Hawai`i Nature Center and Mutual Housing Association of Hawai`i - currently employed by the Judiciary as the Treatment Court Coordinator providing program oversight for drug, mental health and other specialty courts. My continuing interest is to work with members of the Ko`olau Loa area to balance the educational, health & economic needs of our moku. As one of the few rural areas left on O`ahu we have a unique opportunity to work to build a future that respects our ohana, the `aina, and our cultural heritage. To accomplish this informed advice must be provided to decision makers regarding what is in the best interests of our communities. The Board recently completed the Sustainable Watershed Management Plan which provides guidance to and informs land use planning and resource protection. The review of the Sustainable Communities Plan will occupy much of the Board's time this term. These two documents will be critical to the future of our community and our children's children. I ask for your vote to continue the work we have started.

ROWLAND, Gregory T.

My name is Gregory T. Rowland, my family has resided in Ka`a`awa since 1959. I come from a family that has long been involved in politics in the State of Hawaii. My grandfather, John Gomes Durate was a Senator from Maui. I believe that it is time for me to get involved and be part of the solution in addressing some of the important issues facing our community in Ka`a`awa. I have seen many changes over the years, some good and some not so great. My main concerns are uncontrolled development, traffic, crime, and quality of life issues facing us in Ka`a`awa. Recently we experienced severe flooding in Ka`a`awa, it affected most of the residents and it was apparent that we were ill prepared to deal with it and government response was slow in coming. We need to come up with a prevention plan rather than doing emergency control after the fact. Another related issue is prompt Emergency response in the event of flooding or tsunami; Ka'a'awa is a high risk area for both. I think it is important for the community to be fully informed about these issues and I promise to do this if elected. I humbly ask for your support, please vote for me. Mahalo!
