 This is Tim Apacheo with Think Tech Hawaii. I'm here with Ninoa and Ninoa I'd like to ask your opinion about how you feel about the increasing tensions in North Korea versus the United States and versus the world. Personally for me I've always been you know always been an imminent threat living in Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific and now with our new president and shifting foreign policy I think even more so we have to be on alert especially in the islands here. Do you feel that there's a is it a good thing or not such a great thing that the fleet has been sent out in the North Korean waters the the Navy fleet the Carl Vinson and all the other ships. I think it's it's a good thing. So right now the South Korea as you can imagine is very concerned that there might be a spark that either these ships present or further testing of ballistic missiles or a nuclear test from from North Korea. Do you believe that that will present itself and present a problem here in the near future. It's maybe not in the near future but again it's always something the U.S. and our military especially what you should be concerned about. Do you ever think about Hawaii being one of the first strike targets or does that end in your mind at all. Yes it definitely has. And what do you think about it. I mean are you resigned to it or if you thought about ever leaving the state or what do you think about it. I guess not I guess it's maybe I don't feel it's that immediate threat because I don't want to leave my home but like I said it's definitely something on the U.S. and our defense system should you know have on the radar which I think they do. Do you ever talk about this with your friends at all or your family that has ever come up on a conversation. I'd say yeah every now and then our family's pretty politically involved. Yeah. What's their thoughts. What's the talk around the table as this thing gets closer and closer to you know increased tension. As far as like what we personally would do. Yeah I mean I mean are there thoughts that it's good that we have a firm line on this more so than the Obama administration or are they or are they kind of not wishing that we would send a task force over there. No I think we're pretty much for the task force in those areas. Okay great well I want to thank you very much for taking your time and nice nice speaking with you thank you. Yeah thank you. Protests issue and rat lung worm disease and whether you had any concerns about that as a as a being in the produce department. Do you want to talk about it. Well are you concerned. I have no idea because of the cabbage. Yes the cabbage and the lettuce and you know the concern about this little parasite that leads on Maui and Big Island. Some people have picked up and it's rather devastating. Yeah. And since you have a business that's related to produce and you know our local produce here on the island. But I don't carry ladies or cabbage. Cabbage I have but the white cabbage I don't carry ladies I don't carry but it's really hard you know. Well do you think the stage should get a very aggressive and involved in this very soon very quickly. Yeah to stop a real real bigger problem. Yeah okay because it's really hard you know that when one of your family having like that it's really hard. Yeah so they had a very big meeting out in Hana on Maui and over 200 people showed up and people that had the disease talked about you know the symptoms of what they're going through and it sounds very very bad so. The Department of Agriculture should you know should pay attention and that because it's really hard for the community it's not good for them. Are you worried about people having fear to buy local produce now. Of course yeah of course. What would you say to them if you had a chance to talk to people with those fears is there any advice you'd give them. Just be careful. Be careful wash the fruit. Watch the vegetables. When you wash vegetables what do you use do you just do you have a vegetable brush or what what do you use to actually wash vegetables. My best in my experience my vegetable is I don't think they put too much pesticide because I only carry you know the green leaf and my vegetable is doesn't have that much pesticide. Okay well I want to thank you very much for your time today and thank you for sharing your thoughts. Aloha. Thank you.
