Molokai DispatchKa Hula Piko Celebrates

Ohana and Traditions

By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

For the past 22 years, Ka Hula Piko has brought the Molokai commu-nity and ohana together, along

with visitors from around the world, to celebrate Hawaii’s cultural traditions and identity through hula.

“It’s a gathering of ohana -- that’s what it’s all about,” said Molokai kupuna Julia Hoe. “[Hula] is who you are and where you come from. You’re dancing your geneal-ogy.”

Halau and Hawaiian music groups from around the state and as far as Japan shared their talents and traditions with hun-dreds of attendees at Saturday’s hoòlaulea event, held for the first time this year at Lan-ikeha in Hoòlehua.

“Remember, hula was here before Zumba,” Hoe laughed. “You don’t even have to be a hula dancer and the music goes through your body -- you don’t even realize you’re swaying.”

The annual festival was founded by the late Kumu Hula John Kaimikaua, whose ohana is from Molokai. Today, the tradition is carried by members of his halau, Halau Hula o Kukunaokala, whose mission is to carry on education of the ancient traditions, moòlelo, hula and oli of Molokai.

Many believe that Molokai is the birth-

place of hula. As legend has it, hula was born on a sacred hill in Kaàna, and the art was later shared among other islands by the goddess Laka. Ka Hula Piko today carries on that art and the traditions that accom-pany it.

“All of this is the result of the desire of one man to… perpetuate the culture,” said Zhantell Dudoit of Moana’s Hula Halau. Aunty Moana Dudoit, the halau’s kumu who recently passed away, was especially honored at this year’s event.

The three-day event included cultural excursions and lectures on Thursday and Friday, culminating in the hoòlaulea on Sat-urday. For the first time, this year’s schedule also featured a panel of Kumu Hula from around Hawaii, including Molokai’s Aunty Kauwila Reyes, sharing their traditions.

Napua Greig Makua, a kumu hula from Maui, expressed hope for the future of hula, adding that evolution within the art is positive, as long as it remains recognizable and the intent remains intact.

“I look at the young dancers, and when I was their age I wasn’t even close to danc-ing what they are,” Greig Makua said of to-day’s progressing techniques.

This year’s theme for the event was “Na Kupua Èè,” celebrating the kupua, or peculiar shape shifters of ancient Hawaii,

who were able to change forms into ani-mals or natural elements. Some kupua were good, acting as protectors of the land and people, while others brought harm and de-struction around them. The event featured the second annual Creative Keiki Contest, in which local youth artistically interpreted this year’s theme, visually answering the question, “If you were a kupua, what form would you change into and why?”

Julie Bicoy of the Molokai Visitor’s As-sociation said that while she has noticed a decline in visitors coming for the event due to the economy and limited flight availabil-ity, it still offers a boost for local businesses.

One of the Ka Hula Piko’s organizers, Dion Dizon, agreed.

“After 22 years, it has become an an-chor event that people plan their vacations around,” she said, noting that Ka Hula Piko brings in repeat visitors from Canada, Ja-pan, Europe and other parts of the world.

Aside from the economic benefits for the community and vendors at the event, Ka Hula Piko’s mission is to both remem-ber the cultural aspect of hula’s beginnings on Molokai and bring families together to learn.

“If you leave knowing more, feeling a connection and appreciation for the culture, we’ve done our job,” said Dizon.

Nearly 75 third and fourth grad-ers at Kaunakakai Elementary School took a break from regu-

lar classes last week for three days. But far from slacking off, they were engaged in the learning experience of a lifetime -- building their own ukulele.

“This is the coolest thing in the world,” said Lydia Clemens, mother of fourth grader Kayla. “We’re blessed to have this opportunity. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing.”

Kayla, engrossed in using sand pa-per to smooth the unfinished wooden

surface of her instrument, said she’s looking forward to playing it.

“I can say I made it on my own,” said fellow fourth grader, Marcus, proudly. “This is the only school that makes ukulele on Molokai.”

The instruments were donated by KoAloha Ukulele, one of the world’s three major uke manufacturers, accord-ing to the company’s Assistant Vice President Brian Benavente. About a dozen KoAloha staff led the students last week in building their ukulele and

New Science Labs in MHS FutureBy Emily Sumners | Staff Writer

Molokai High School will not have to go without science labs much longer now that it

has received funds to build a complete facility for its students.

“My wish is that the new building can be erected at the front of the school to exude a sense of pride and represent a gateway to their education,” said MHS principal Stan Hao.

He said the building, currently in the early planning stages, will include two science classrooms with a lab and study area, preparation and supply rooms, and a conference room.

“In addition, science equipment should be part of the project to allow the full functioning of science classrooms,” Hao said.

The new facility could be open with-in two years.

The funds for the building were al-located from $26.2 million that Gov. Neil Abercrombie released for educational facilities statewide. Abercrombie said in a press release that the money for the improvements is intended to help public schools and provide local jobs.

Kalaupapa Residents Sign Kanaìolowalu PetitionKanaìolowalu News Release

The Native Hawaiian Roll Commis-sion, chaired by former Governor John Waiheè III, attended the 10th anniversa-ry celebration of Ka Òhana O Kalaupapa at Kalaupapa on April 27 where Kalaupa-pa residents were given the opportunity to sign the Kanaìolowalu petition along with the descendants of Kalaupapa and friends who came together for the event.

“We felt it was important for Chair Waiheè and the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission to visit Kalaupapa for sup-port of the Kanaìolowalu petition just like Ahahui Aloha ‘Aina came to Ka-laupapa in 1897 to give our people the chance to sign the Kuè petition against annexation,” said Clarence “Boogie” Kahilihiwa, a resident of Kalaupapa for more than 50 years and President of Ka Òhana O Kalaupapa. “Nearly 700 of our people signed the Kuè petition, as did thousands of others across Hawaii, op-posing annexation in any form.”

The Commission was appointed in 2011 with the mission to register native Hawaiians to reunify in the self-recogni-tion of the unrelinquished sovereignty of Native Hawaiians. Ka Òhana O Kalau-papa is a nonprofit organization dedicat-ed to honoring the value and dignity of all the estimated 8,000 people who were taken from their families and isolated on the Kalaupapa peninsula because of gov-ernment policies regarding leprosy.

Following a prayer service at St. Francis Church, the Commission gath-ered at McVeigh Hall where Waiheè ad-dressed the crowd of about 50.

“If we Hawaiians look at our family tree, all of us probably have our òhana here, our òhana who shared the suffer-ing here,” said Waiheè, who also had an-cestors sent to Kalaupapa.

The former Governor also spoke about the significance of the Kanaìolowalu petition and how it relat-ed to the Kuè petition in 1897 that was signed by more than 21,000 Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians who opposed annex-

ation to the United States. Among those who signed was Waiheè’s grandfather, John Waiheè.

“When my grandfather signed that petition, when the kupuna cried when our flag went down, that put something in our DNA,” he said. “The idea of Ha-waiian self-governance is as important today as it ever was. “

For the past seven years, the Òhana has been compiling the names of every-one sent to Kalaupapa and other infor-mation about residents who were sent there. Since then, the Òhana has helped hundreds of families reconnect with their Kalaupapa ancestors. Commissioner Robin Puanani Danner and some of the staff members learned of family members who had been sent to Kalaupapa. They were able to visit family gravesites at the cemetery.

“I don’t know what to feel or think, it was like I was pulled here,” said Dan-ner, wiping away tears as she placed lei upon the tombstones. “I have never expe-rienced anything like this. I am now part of this Òhana.”

New Planner: Diane SwensonBy Emily Sumners | Staff Writer

Diane Swenson, owner of Sw-enson Reality, is the newest member of the Molokai Plan-

ning Commission. This is Swenson’s second time serving on the commis-sion, which meets twice a month to review building and land use projects on the island.

“I understand about land use and private property rights,” Swenson said. “I believe in Molokai and want to retain the values of the island.”

She also said she hopes to speed up the application process for com-mission approval and make the pro-cess easier for homeowners with sim-ple projects.

“Ranch Camp is in the SMA [special management area], so any homeowner who wants to do minor improvements, such as build a stor-

age shed, has to go through the SMA process in front of the commission,” she said. “I want to make it so the av-erage homeowner does not have to go through the expensive, time-consum-ing process. It’s creating a hardship on the local people.”

Swenson said she would like to keep Molokai the way it is.

“There are no large projects antic-ipated for Molokai anyway,” she add-ed. “So I don’t see there being much change.”

Besides running her real estate business, Swenson has volunteered her time with medical missions over-seas.

“I also helped build habitat homes in Thailand after the tsunami,” she said. “I’ve been really lucky, so I want to help other people who have not been so fortunate.”

Students Face Driving Dangers

By Emily Sumners | Staff Writer

Molokai High School (MHS) students rallied together May 2 to stay safe during the up-

coming graduation weekend, especially when getting behind the wheel. Seniors pledged to not drink and drive, while the Students Against Destructive Deci-sions (SADD) club awarded students who made the same pledge for prom and banquet nights.

MHS junior Brayden Willing-Mc-Cutcheon revived SADD in preparation for his senior project next year with the help of Driver Education program coor-dinator Malia Lee.

“Voices make a difference,” he said to his classmates during the rally. “Pledge to be safe the night of gradua-tion. Pledge to be safe and sober.”

Willing-McCutcheon said he want-ed to bring awareness to teenagers about the effects of their driving decisions and how unsafe driving affects the entire community.

As part of his project, which is titled “Juvenile Joyriding: Underage and Unli-censed,” Willing-McCutcheon will cre-ate a video for a nationwide contest. Lee said MHS is the only school in Hawaii that has entered, and the grand prize is $10,000.

Students at the rally participated in an obstacle course while wearing goggles that simulate drunkenness.

They watched a locally-made video cre-ated with a cast of MHS students several years ago that depicted the deadly ef-fects of drinking while driving. Lee and School Resource Officer Michael Mc-Cutcheon told students how much they care about them and how their decisions have lasting impact.

“I may be on some of your cases all the time about driving without a li-cense and all that, but it’s because I care so much,” McCutcheon said. “Kids on other islands can’t walk, can’t talk and may not be alive because of the decisions they make.”

Lee said crashes are the number one killer of youth under age 24. She presented this information to students at the rally and told them that of the 4.2 million teen drivers in the country, 2.25 million will be involved in a crash each year, 400,000 will be injured and 5,000 young drivers killed.

“When I see those of you without licenses driving I get so scared,” she said. “Inexperience will get you in trou-ble. Immaturity will get you in trouble.”

She said summer is the deadliest time on the road for teenagers, but most incidences are preventable by making good decisions.

She also said parents can be in-volved in keeping their young drivers safe by riding with them frequently and setting a good example for them.

“These priority capital improvement projects will help address the many needed repair, maintenance and upgrade projects that have accumulated at our public schools over many years,” Abercrombie said. “The majority of these funds will go toward statewide projects and programs aimed at providing the suitable, learning-friendly environment for students and teachers that they each deserve.”

Hao said that high schools across the state will use the funds to upgrade exist-

ing facilities, but so far MHS is the only school in need of new structures. Students currently have to use the middle school’s facilities for any laboratory work for class or extracurricular activities. Thanks to the funds, high school students will have their own lab.

The facility will meet the state’s stan-dards for high school science labs, which in-cludes a lab station for every four students and proper safety measures. The located of the new facility is yet to be determined. Representatives from MHS, the Depart-ment of Education, Molokai Department of Accounting and General Services and CDS International architecture firm met in March to discuss the project.

Are foods from genetically engineered crops safe?

www.monsanto.com

It’s a great question, and we’re asked about it a lot. Access to safe, nutritious food matters to all of us. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of misinformation out there. In reality, foods from GE crops are just as safe as any other type of food. See what independent, scientific experts have to say about it:

oahu • maui • molokai

“…no adverse health effects attributed to genetic engineering have been documented in the human population.”The National Academy of Sciences, http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=10977

“No effects on human health have been shown as a result of the consumption of such foods by the general population in the countries where they have been approved.”World Health Organization, http://www.who.int/foodsafety/publications/biotech/20questions/en/

“…no scientific evidence associating GMOs with higher risks for the environment or for food and feed safety than conventional plants and organisms.”European Commission review of 50 studies on the safety of biotech crops, http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-10-1688_en.htm

“Bioengineered foods have been consumed for close to 20 years, and during that time, no overt consequences on human health have been reported and/or substantiated in the peer-reviewed literature.”American Medical Association, http://www.ama-assn.org/resources/doc/csaph/a12-csaph2-bioengineeredfoods.pdf

Mother’s Day Dinner and Concert for a Cause, Part 2Molokai Cancer Fund News Release

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, they experience so many different emotions, one of which is the anxiety of not knowing what to do next or who to call to get help. Fortunately, on Molokai we have Molokai General Hospital’s Ku-kui Ahi Patient Navigation program. All you need to do is give them a call.

The Kukui Ahi Patient Navigation program began in 2004 and its patient navigators help patients, families and their caregivers navigate through the healthcare system to overcome barriers that may delay screening, diagnosing and treatment. They assist with finding and accessing to valuable resources, sup-port services and financial assistance that patients often need. Most importantly, they assist with coordination of air and ground transportation and lodging for patients requiring services and treatment on the outer islands. Patient navigation services are tailored to the individual

patients needs and provides culturally sensitive care. They work collaboratively with multiple health care providerʻs to promote communication and relation-ships with the patients. They also work closely with community organizations in-cluding The Molokai Cancer Fund.

It is through Kukui Ahi’s partner-ship with The Molokai Cancer Fund that the Cancer Fund have been able to assist cancer patients in need. If you or a loved one would like to speak to Kukui Ahi’s Navigators, please contact Haunani Ka-makana or Avette Ponce at (808)553-3171 or visit them at the Medical Office Build-ing (Outpatient Clinic) at Molokai Gen-eral Hospital. Also don’t forget to ask about our Cancer Support Group!

The Molokai Cancer Fund’s Moth-er’s Day Dinner Concert is on Sunday, May 12 from 5 to 8:30 p.m. at Molokai Community Health Center. Check at Rawlins Chevron for ticket availability. Tickets will not be available at the door.

offered hands-on assistance to each keiki with more the challenging steps of the process.

The Kaunakakai School workshop began eight years ago, Benevente said, with a simple inquiry from educator Josh Adachi.

“It started one year that students had really low scores for reading and math,” explained Adachi. “We were talking about how to help the kids.” He brainstormed ukulele-making as a learning project that would give stu-dents a finished product in their hands while incorporating math and reading research ahead of time.

“So I called the company, and they were more than willing,” said Adachi.

With all costs and materials for as many as 40 instruments annually donated by KoAloha, the Kaunakakai School workshop is no small favor. But Benevente said simply, “It was in our hearts.”

Normally the program is offered every year for third graders, but Bena-vente said because the company was tied up establishing a new factory in Thailand last year, they weren’t able to make it to Molokai. This year, they included the fourth grade so no one would miss out on the opportunity -- for a total of 74 ukulele.

With a room filled with 8, 9 and 10-year-olds all intently focused on building their instruments with the support of an older family member, the students themselves are proof that suc-cessful learning can take many forms. Third grader Owen, for example, took a break from the construction process to rattle off more than a dozen parts of his ukulele.

While “all the dangerous stuff is done” by staff ahead of time -- meaning the body of the instrument is already formed -- kids complete the full assem-bly and integration of their own ukule-le, according Benevente. That includes sanding, varnishing and stringing, a process that takes two to three days of work.

But the construction process is only a part of the experience.

“Building the uke is one thing, but what we aim to do is what you see here: kids working with a parent or fam-ily member,” said Benavente. “To us, the uke as a finished product is bonus;

building relationships is why this is so important to us.”

Adachi agreed. “A lot of kids don’t work with

their parents,” he said. “I like to see the union of family and students working together. Classroom work of math and reading is important and this connects [to the academics], but to me, it’s the touch -- the union with family.”

Parent Lori Pastrana has had sev-eral children build ukes through the program, and said her oldest, now a sophomore in high school, still plays the ukulele he built in third grade. Last week, she once again witnessed the pro-cess as she sat by her daughter Alaijah’s side.

“The kids appreciate and take care of it… because it’s something they build,” she said.

“It’s really special,” chimed in Alaijah, grade 4.

Benavente said the relationship that KoAloha staff members establish with students is also significant.

“We get to see kids from past years walking around with their ukuleles,” he said, adding with almost paternal pride that students from the program’s first year are now seniors in high school.

Benavente said while the company originally committed to the program for 10 years, they have no intention to stop, calling it “our favorite workshop” -- and the only one of its kind KoAloha offers annually. But, he said, “word has gotten out” -- the company has done a similar program at the Queen Lili-uokalani Children’s Center on Hawaii Island, and he said they hope the idea will take root internationally.

Kaunakakai third grader Lydia said she looks forward to playing the first song on her new instrument, “Pani-olo Country,” for the school’s May Day celebration this week.

Adachi said this year, third grad-ers learned to play the ukulele ahead of time in preparation for their May Day performance, during which they will debut their newly-completed ukes.

With parents, grandparents, aun-ties and uncles joining with students in the hands-on learning process of creat-ing something they can appreciate for the rest of their lives, the program is a testament to the power of strengthening ohana through education.

Bertha Adachi brushed sawdust off her shirt as she lent a helping hand to her grandson, fourth grader Pomai.

“Every child in here is so happy,” she said.

New Group Addresses Drug Abuse on MolokaiI Ola Ka Piko News Release

Because of the many heartbreak-ing incidents impacting families on Molokai, many stemming from drug abuse, especially meth or “ice,” a group of mothers and community folks got together to discuss concerns over an issue that is often times overlooked or dismissed on our island home. Through prayers and spiritual guidance, the group finally came up with a name, mission and vision statements. Our group’s name is I Ola Ka Piko – “so that the Piko lives.”

Hawaiians believe that in one’s body lies three piko. One is the Piko Poò or Piko Ì – where our Akua rest on our heads, therefore, we are connected with our Akua to do the right thing. Another is the Piko Waena or Piko Ò – the navel where we are connected to our parents, kupuna, ancestors and ge-nealogy. The Piko Waena is closest to our naàu – the seat of our knowledge, intellect, intuition and emotions. And finally, the Piko Maì – the ability to pro-create as an extension of all we create and establish.

Through these piko, we exist in re-lationship to one another as members of a group of people who share the same elements of spirit, language, physical

behavior and traditional knowledge.Our mission statement is that we

will advocate healing within our com-munity based on the teachings of ke Akua and kupuna. Our vision is for healthy families, thriving community, drug free Molokai. As an ohana, we agreed to pursue this kuleana with alo-ha and hold meetings that begin with pule. We believe the group is spiritually led by our kupuna. We do not judge or disrespect those in the community suf-fering from drug abuse, but will not approve the blatant actions of the drug dealers polluting our island with meth. Our hope is to have the drug dealers see the dangers and destruction meth brings to our families of Molokai, where mothers do not get up to tend to their babies and fathers do not come home.

We are hoping that our island people will be able to stand up against meth and other dysfunctional behaviors and make Molokai a safe place to raise a family and grow old in peace. We do not advocate posting of lists of names throughout the community which can only negatively add to the despair of an already difficult and painful issue.

We meet every Tuesday at the QLCC Makalapua room at 5 p.m. You are more than welcome to be a part of this movement of hope.

Pili Uhane – Hawaiian Spirituality GatheringKa Pa Hula O Hina i Ka Po Laìlaì News Release

Under the leadership of Kumu Hula Kanoelani Davis, Ka Pa Hula O Hina I Ka Po Laìlaì presents a com-munity gathering focused on Hawai-ian Spirituality. This event will be held on Saturday, May 11 at OLA Molokai above Lanikeha. Emphasis will be placed on the traditional healing art of pule, laàu lapaàu, and lomilomi, inter-woven with hula and mele.

The purpose of this Pili Ùhane: Hawaiian Spirituality Gathering is “to bring forth the art form and share their values by the practitioners themselves so that we can inspire our Molokai people to believe in their naàu and to inspire the hula people island wide to respect, honor, and mʻlama these tradi-tions,” expressed Davis.

Through these cultural practices

together we will learn and recognize that “hula is a lifestyle and not just a dance form,” Davis continued. “We will journey through the main aspects of hula and see how it intertwines with the healing art forms and the relationships with the àina.”

Presentations will be given Davis, Keone Chin (mele/genealogy), Sean Chun (practitioner of traditional heal-ing arts), and Analu Josephides (gene-alogist). There is a $35 registration fee (healthy lunch from the àina is includ-ed). Registration will begin at 7:30am and workshops to follow from 8:00am until 12pm. Lunch will be served short-ly after.

For registration or questions con-tact: [email protected] or 450-6218.

You can register with the Pa Hula or at Kalele Bookstore.

Mulching Your Trees Makes Sense By Joe Kennedy

I first heard about mulching 45 years ago in a book entitled “How to Have a Green Thumb without an Aching Back” by Ruth Stout. She put large amounts of mulch made up of leaves and grass clippings around all of her flowers and veg-etable plants. Then she got the gar-den hose and watered the leaves and grass until they were sloshing and soaked. The book caught on. People tried it, and it worked.

She claimed no fertilizer was necessary. This was a radical dis-covery at the time, and even today, some people haven’t heard about it. But to their credit, the ancient Ha-waiians were doing it for hundreds of years.

Here are some of the benefits of mulching:1. It uses less water than conven-

tional agriculture, which has mostly bare ground between the rows.

2. It uses little or no fertilizer (a va-riety of mulch will contain a va-riety of nutrients after a while).

3. It develops and allows a huge amount of living organisms – earthworms, beneficial insects, microorganisms, beneficial fungi

and more – that create great soil fertility.

4. It kills unwanted weeds and grass species (this one can be tricky. Certain grasses can “sneak” through into the mulch. These species are very few. Use newspaper to cover these kinds of grasses. Then put the mulch on. The layer of mulch should be thick – 12-15 inches of more).

5. Mulching stops soil erosion from wind, heavy rains and vehicle traffic.

6. It allows rain water to percolate straight down into the ground and, like a forest, into the aqui-fer.

7. It eliminates dust and mud and dust around your house.

8. Mulching is great for inside the pig pen and chicken pen. It seems like all forms of animals love it. Also when the manure and urine mixes with the mulch, it makes awesome fertilizer.

So, ladies and gents, good luck and God bless your work. And don’t worry about weed seeds in the mulch. Put it on thick and the weeds will be no problem. A few may come up but will pull out easily. My best wishes to you, your friends and family.

Making BiocharBy Glenn I. Teves, UH County Extension Agent

Although bio-char is a relatively new term, it’s not new to Molokai. We have a long history of making a kind biochar, but prob-ably didn’t realize it. Biochar is the pro-

duction of charcoal under controlled conditions that retain certain com-pounds used in the growing of crops. When incorporated in the soil, biochar serves as a catalyst and a “sponge” that holds nutrients and water for plants to use, and also creates an ideal environ-ment for beneficial microorganisms to flourish.

Formerly, Molokai kiawe char-coal producers lowered a giant metal bell over a pile of cut kiawe wood to control burning through vents on the side of the bell. The kiawe could burn slowly and still retain much of its bio-mass without disintegrating by fire. Biochar differs in that woody organic material is heated under conditions of limited or no oxygen. The type of tree used, and the method in which biochar is produced greatly affects its quality and effectiveness as a soil additive.

The most important measure of biochar quality is high adsorption or its ability to hold nutrients on its sur-face. This is referred to as its “cation exchange capacity” or its ability to make certain nutrients readily avail-able to plants. The other important measures are its low resin and tar con-tent. By burning off the undesirable tars, resins and hydrocarbons, the re-maining material becomes a great soil enhancer. It’s believed that one of the key features of biochar is the creation of an ideal environment for microor-ganisms. This improvement in soil has a long-term effect, as biochar is believed to last in soils for thousands of years.

The burning of prairies saw a re-

newal of the soil after burning, includ-ing the North American prairie west of the Mississippi River and east of the Rocky Mountains. In the Amazon Basin, the red soils like those found in Hoòlehua were converted into very fertile soils through the use of biochar. Known as Terra Preta or black earth and Terra Mulata, these soils were en-hanced by farming systems practiced by ancient, indigenous cultures, and have remained fertile despite centuries of leaching from heavy tropical rains. The use of biochar has a long history in Korea and Japan, and is being revived through heightened interest in sustain-able and natural farming systems in Hawaii.

Biochar can be applied to soil by applying it to the surface then tilling it in either by machinery or manually. It can be used incrementally, and rates of 5000 to 20,000 pounds per acre have been used with positive results. Re-search conducted on red soils similar to that found in Hoòlehua indicated that the use of biochar increased the above ground production of plant ma-terial or biomass by up to 189 percent. Using biochar of various pore sizes will create niches of a greater diver-sity for beneficial microorganisms. Biochar also increases soil alkalinity which counteracts soil acidity, includ-ing adverse conditions created by the long term production of pineapple on Molokai.

A sustainable model for biochar production is the use of tree mate-rial from municipal tree waste and invasive species so it doesn’t compete with wood that have other important uses. Heat, oil, and gas released from the production of biochar, if done on a large scale, can also be recovered for the production of other products, in-cluding electricity.

For more information on biochar, you can download this publication from the UH CTAHR website, ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/SCM-30.pdf.

Increased Protection of Papohaku DunesDLNR News Release

The Papohaku Dune System in west Molokai has been identified as an impor-tant natural and cultural resource of the State of Hawaii. The Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands (OCCL) will hold a public hearing on Molokai on May 10 regarding a proposed subzone amendment to increase the level of pro-tection for the dune system.

The public hearing will be held at 6 p.m. Friday, May 10 at the Mitchell Pauole Community Center.

OCCL is proposing to change the state land use conservation district subzone of tax map key (TMK): (2) 5-1-006:156 at Papohaku Beach, Kaluakoi, from the general subzone to the protec-tive subzone.

Hawaii’s dune systems harbor im-portant native plant and animal species and serve as storm buffers from nor-mal seasonal high waves and episodic high tide events. The proposed subzone amendment was a recommendation that formed out of the Papohaku Dunes Cul-tural and Natural Resource Preservation Plan, which suggests that the current subzone designation is insufficient to provide for the effective preservation of

the dune system and its culturally signif-icant shrines, burial sites, fragile ecosys-tem and unique geomorphology.

The protective subzone designation is recommended as it provides the high-est preservation potential for sensitive natural ecosystems that contain valu-able historic, archeological and natural resource features such as the Papohaku Dunes. This designation of the Papo-haku Dune area is consistent with the objective of the Conservation District Protective Subzone, which is “to protect valuable natural and cultural resources in designated areas such as restricted watersheds, marine, plant, and wildlife sanctuaries, significant historic, archeo-logical, geological, and volcanological features and sites, and other designated uses.”

The proposed amendment to Ha-waii Administrative Rule Chapter 13-5 may be found online at the OCCL’s web-site at hawaii.gov/dlnr/occl. Persons unable to attend the hearing may send written testimony no later than May 31 to [email protected] or by mail to Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands at P.O. Box 621 Honolulu, HI 96809. For more information, call (808) 587-0316.

Fishpond Restoration PermittingDLNR News Release

The Department of Land and Nat-ural Resources (DLNR) is taking part in a “Hoàla Loko Ià” initiative with cultural practitioners in Hawaii to as-sist with the restoration and operation of traditional Hawaiian fishponds.

“Hawaiian fishpond systems, loko ià, are some of Hawaii’s most significant traditional cultural re-sources,” said William J. Aila, Jr., DLNR chairperson. “To help com-munity organizations and traditional fishpond practitioners revitalize these important resources and navigate the many government regulations ap-provals, DLNR is currently pursuing a state programmatic general permit (SPGP) from the federal government,” he said.

This permit will allow the state to streamline the permitting process by utilizing a single application pro-cess for the restoration, repair, main-tenance and reconstruction of loko

ià statewide, in Hawaii, according to Aila.

The draft environmental assess-ment for the SPGP was published in the Environmental Notice on April 23, and DLNR is seeking public comments on the proposal. Copies of the Envi-ronmental Assessment, along with other related documents, are available on the websites for the Office of Con-servation and Coastal Lands (hawaii.gov/dlnr/occl/manuals-reports) and Honua Consulting (honuaconsulting.com/lokoia/).

Comments can be submitted via Honua’s website. The official pub-lic comment period will run through May 23. Project representatives are also available to meet on-site with fishpond practitioners to review the proposal. Interested hui may contact Michael Cain at the Office of Conser-vation and Coastal Lands at 808-783-2501 or by e-mail at [email protected].

Taking Up a Special TorchRecord Funds Raised in Charity Walk

Signs of Molokai


Special Olympics athletes ran through the streets of Kaunaka-kai Saturday morning with a torch

carrier leading the way and police, fire fighters and other community members at their side. Fire trucks and police cars added to the excitement as the Saturday Market crowed cheered on Molokai’s impassioned athletes and their support-ers.

Held for the first time on Molokai, the Troy Barboza Law Enforcement Torch Run aimed to bring support and awareness to Special Olympics, and the money raised through T-shirt sales stayed on Molokai to support local athletes. The event has been hosted on Maui by the Maui Police Depart-ment since 1990.

Molokai has 91 current and former Special Olympics athletes, according to in-formation released about the run. It takes about $1000 to fund an athlete for a year, which includes participation in area and statewide competitions.

Jacob Spencer, a Special Olympics Molokai athlete, said he participates in track and field, swimming, basketball and softball. He said he gets better at each sport every time he plays.

“I learned how to do any kind of over-hand catch by turning my glove right and left,” he said. “Before, I just knew how to do an underhand catch.”

Spencer and fellow athletes put their skills to work as Special Olympics partici-pants competed against law enforcement in a softball game after the run. The athletes defeated the police, adding another victory to their records.

The softball game and Torch Run came after an April 21 swim meet on Maui that saw solid performances from Molokai athletes.

“Special Olympics Molokai broke their own record and the county record for swimming,” said local Special Olympics Area Director Rita Kalahiki.

Kalahiki said when police Lt. Gregg Okamoto approached her about having the Torch Run on Molokai, she was excited about keeping the event local. The event has previously raised money county-wide with the Maui run. The Torch Run is also held around the country.

First Hawaiian Bank sponsored Sat-urday’s event , which began at UH Molo-kai Education Center and ended at the Kaunakakai baseball fields.

Early Saturday morning, commu-nity members, nonprofit repre-sentatives and business owners

and employees flooded Molokai’s main highway to participate in the 35th an-nual Charity Walk. An estimated 300 people walked from Paddlers Inn to Hotel Molokai and contributed to rais-ing a record-breaking $62,605 for non-profits on the island of Molokai.

This is the fifth year the walk, or-ganized by the Maui Hotel & Lodging Association (MHLA), has been held on Molokai and the most successful by far, ac-cording to Laura Echiverri, administrative assistant at MHLA and head organizer of the event.

“It’s awesome to see the Molokai community come together and put on such a wonderful event, especially with

so much going on this weekend,” said Echiverri.

Individuals can choose to raise mon-ey for the island as a whole or for a spe-cific organization, according to Echiverri. Funds raised by businesses, such as Hotel Molokai, HMSA and Monsanto go into a general fund to be allocated to nonprofits all over Maui County. Nonprofit organiza-tions that participated in the event, on the other hand, keep all the funds they raise.

Last year, Molokai raised more than $12,000 and received an additional $23,000 from the general fund, with $613,000 raised across Maui County. Of the three walks held on Maui, Molokai and Lanai, Maui’s is held last on May 11. This year’s allocation to nonprofits throughout the county will be determined after that date.

Next year’s Charity Walk on Molokai will be held on Saturday, May 3.

By Molokai Dispatch Staff

Dozens of Molokai residents of all ages joined to sign a song last Sat-urday morning at One Ali`i Park.

The event, the first of its kind on Molokai, celebrated and raised awareness for deaf-

ness. Participants learned to sing a song about Molokai in sign language ahead of time, and performed it as a group on Satur-day. For more information about the event and Deaf culture, visit signsofmolokai.weebly.com.

Tennis Stars Take on Top Competitors

MIL Softball Champs Prove their Potential


Molokai High School tennis duo Pono Chow and Kamaunu Pascua joined the ranks of Ha-

waii’s top athletes as they competed in the Hawaii High School Athletics Asso-ciation state tournament last weekend.

The MIL doubles champions drew first-seeded Punahou School players, who dominated the May 2 match 6-0, 6-0. Though Chow and Pascua didn’t return home with a win, they were able to represent Molokai at a state tennis match for the first time in Molokai High’s history and experi-enced competition at that level.

“The tournament was awesome,” Pascua said. “Even though we lost the first game, it’s good to see how much higher the caliber is at the state level compared to the MIL.”

Pascua, a graduating senior, played tennis three months at a time for three years before competing against players who grew up in the game. Chow said their Oahu-based competitors have tennis in their school curriculum from a young age.

“These guys we were playing had played tennis since kindergarten,” Chow said. “I felt a little bit of jeal-ous that I wasn’t raised in it… but I think I did well for only playing a few

months a year for a few years.”Coach Dean Chow said he re-

ceived comments from participants and coaches that Pono Chow and Pas-cua were first-class in sportsmanship and etiquette, something MHS coach-es really stressed to all the tennis play-ers this season.

“It was a really good experience just to see what the competition is like and see what is ahead for [the MHS players] if they work hard enough and really apply themselves,” Dean Chow said. “They’re every bit as talented and athletic as those other guys. It opens my eyes to how much they can achieve.”

Pasucua said as he works and goes to school next year, he will try to find time to hit the courts sometime. Pono Chow plans to compete in sin-gles as a senior next year. He said he’ll dedicate his practice time to improv-ing his form and technique.

“Work on front-hand, back-hand, serves,” he said. “It’ll probably be a lot of strategy.”

Pono Chow and Pascua said ten-nis achievements are a group effort, noting everyone who coached them, encouraged them and helped keep them on the court.


The Molokai High School softball team did not come home from the Hawaii High School Athletic As-

sociation state tournament with a win last weekend, but as Maui Interscholas-tic League (MIL) champions, the Lady Farmers still claimed a solid season.

Coach Coco Augustiro said the team was mostly freshmen and sophomores this year, and since they didn’t make it past MILs last season, the May 2 game was the first experi-ence at the state level for most of the team.

Pitcher Amanda Venegas-Makai-wi, one of the few seniors on the team and the only four-year player, said she sees a lot of promise in her young-er teammates.

“Our team came a long way. We improved a lot from the beginning of the season,” she said. “By the time

they become upper classman they are going to have a lot of potential.”

Venegas-Makaiwi understands improvement after working through-out the season. She has thrown at least 200 pitches a day, seeing more strikes each time.

“My pitching came a lot better from practice,” she said. “I became more comfortable on the mound.”

Venegas-Makaiwi said the team as a whole did so much better this year because of their coaching staff.

As Venegas-Makaiwi prepares for college at Grand Canyon Univer-sity in Arizona, her team has their eyes on next season, which they hope will bring them back to the state tour-nament.

“Next season we want to sched-ule a few Division I games in the pre-season to help the girls get up to that level in States,” Augustiro said.

Interpreting Hawaiian Sayings SeriesBy Kalehiwa Dudoit

Editor’s note: Kalehiwa, a high school student at Aka`ula School, provided the in-terpretation of this Ha-waiian saying, which is reprinted, with edits, from the Aka`ula news-letter. The source of the

saying is Mary Kawena Pukui.“Ho’ohui ‘aina pala ka mai’a.”

means “Annexation is ripe bananas.” This is a saying that started up when talk of the annexation of Hawaii began. It was a sign of bad luck to encounter someone with a bunch of bananas when traveling, and it was bad luck to take bananas with you on a fish-ing trip, which is why this saying is a warning that the annexation will bring

bad luck to Hawaii. Hawaii was annexed by the Unit-

ed States on July 12, 1898. However, it didn’t become a state until 1959. While there was talk about annexation, many Native Hawaiians staged protest ral-lies and they also created two groups to prevent the illegal annexation. One group was named Hui Hawaii Aloha Aina, made up of men, and the other group was its sister group, Hui Ha-waii Aloha Aina o Na Wahine.

They hoped that if they got the government to realize how many Native Hawaiians were against an-nexation, they could prevent it. They started a petition against annexation and collected 21,260 signatures from Native Hawaiians! As you know to-day, even that didn’t stop Hawaii from being annexed.

Track and Field Shows Personal Growth By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

This year’s young track and field team, consisting of mostly freshmen and sophomores, showed a lot of personal improvement and promise for next year, according to coach Jessie Ford. The team wrapped up their season with several top-eight performances at the Maui In-terscholastic League (MIL) Champion-ship on Maui two weeks ago.

Freshman standout Alexandria Si-mon finished the meet fifth overall, ac-cording to Ford. Simon placed eighth in the girls 100 meter dash finals and fifth in the 300 meter hurdles finals. Team-mate Rebecka Adolpho placed seventh in both girls discus throw and shot put finals. Shanrese Lehiwa Pedro placed seventh in girls high jump, which Ford called impressive for her first time com-peting in that event.

Both the girls and boys teams came in fifth in 4x100 and 4x400 meter relays.

“We get to compete at about a quar-ter of the season’s meets,” said Ford, add-ing that participation was curtailed by the expense of off-island meets. Because the team is comprised largely of under-classmen, they would normally compete in junior varsity category events, but because of their travel restrictions, they went up against mostly varsity teams.

The JV Championships on April 19 was one exception, and the team had an impressive showing. Simon placed

first in both the 100 meter dash and 300 meter hurdles, with sophomore Hikilii Chow finishing a close second in the lat-ter event.

Freshman Kaimana Kahale took second in the 400 meter run with a per-sonal best time. King Kahana-Kailua, a sophomore, placed third in the same event. Sophomore Grayson Aldridge placed fifth in the 800 meter and sev-enth in the 1500 meter runs, and the boys 4x100 meter relay team, made up of Kahale, Aldridge, Kahana-Kailua and Alden Abafo, took third.

Ford said Kahale and Kahana-Kailua competed amongst themselves throughout the season to be the fastest guy on the team. “Both first-time track athletes, they have potential if they train and focus,” she said.

With 20 on the roster at the begin-ning of the season, the Farmers traveled to the MIL championship meet with six girls and six boys -- and the team has grown in numbers since last year, said Ford.

She described this year’s group as “the generation to build the program.”

“I think next year will be a good season for a lot of people -- they broke the ice and know what it’s all about,” added Ford. “[Track and field] is a really individualized sport and depends on the individual and their mental toughness.

“I thought they all did well person-ally this season,” she said.

CoMMunIty newsLocal Author Offers Book SigningYamashita Ohana News Release

Local children’s book author Marie Yamashita will debut her new book, “The Woodcarver’s Clock,” at a book signing in Kaunakakai this Sat-urday. A lively tale of a woodcarver’s encounter with raucous birds in a beautiful forest is embellished with captivating illustrations by local art-ists. Grandma Marie, a retired teacher of 32 years, writes a story that incor-porates simple life lessons with which young readers can readily identify.

The book signing will be held at Kalele Bookstore at noon on Saturday, May 12. The welcoming shop, packed with books, gifts and art, will offer an intimate setting to chat with the au-thor, hosted by her 8-year-old great granddaughter, Sage. Marie will also

be accompanied by her other great grandchildren Kaia, Manu and Kaulu-wai, for whom the book was original-ly written.


Kau Kau for Kama`ainaBy Chef Gene Pike

I was approached by a couple of long time Molokai residents and asked to give some simple but popu-lar recipes that locals could make but may have forgotten about. This is one of my favorite local soup recipes that is easy to make, can feed quite a few people and is very economical. All of the ingredients can be found at our lo-cal markets.

Portuguese Bean SoupHere’s the list of ingredients that

you’ll need to make my version of this local favorite:• 2-3 medium sized smoked ham

hocks or ham shanks• 1 pound Portuguese sausage,

diced• 1 medium sized Maui onion*,

coarsely chopped • 2 medium sized potatoes, cubed• 1 cup diced carrots• 1 cup diced celery• 4 cups coarsely chopped cabbage• 2 15-ounce cans kidney beans

with liquid**• 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes• 1 6-ounce can tomato paste• 3 garlic cloves, minced• 1 bunch cilantro (Chinese pars-

ley), coarsely chopped• A handful of black peppercorns• 3-4 dried bay leaves

In large stock pot, combine ham hocks, Maui onion, cilantro, garlic, black peppercorns and bay leaves.

Add just enough water to cover the ham hocks completely. Bring wa-ter to a boil, and then lower to simmer. Simmer covered for about 2 hours. This slow cooking is what gives the soup its rich flavor.

Skim any fat. Remove the ham hocks and de-bone, dice and set aside.

To the pot, add tomato paste, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, carrots, celery, potatoes and cabbage. Simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes. Add in diced ham hocks and Portuguese sausage. Continue to simmer until cooked through (about 40 minutes).

Serve topped with fresh chopped cilantro and cracked black pepper.

Big Funds for Organizations Making a Big Difference


Two Molokai nonprofit organiza-tions have support to “pay it for-ward” in the community using

awards from the Hawaii Medical Service Association (HMSA). Ka Honua Momo-na (KHM) and Kukui Ahi Patient Pro-gram at Molokai General Hospital each received $10,000 from HMSA as part of the health care coverage provider’s 75th anniversary celebration.

HMSA employees chose 10 organi-zations statewide to receive $10,000 each to make a difference in their communi-ties, according to a press release about the HMSA Pays It Forward campaign.

“Our employees wanted to find a way to really stretch this gift and I’m con-fident this concept of paying it forward will accomplish that,” said HMSA CEO Michael Gold. “Experience has taught

us that innovation and partnerships are the keys to success. This campaign is giv-ing us new opportunities to improve the health and well-being of our members, their families, and their communities.”

HMSA representatives came to Molokai May 3 to award KHM and Ku-kui Ahi with a ceremony at each location.

Kukui Ahi staff and Molokai Gen-eral Hospital President Janice Kalanihuia accepted their check at Molokai General Hospital, expressing their plans to pay it forward by bringing increased cancer awareness to the community through their Patient Navigation program.

“With these funds we are going to try to target youth,” said a Kukui Ahi rep-resentative who accepted the award. “We are going to go to schools and do aware-ness programs there, and hopefully they will go back to tell their parents.”

Merrie Monarch FestivalBy Sydni Pawn, Akaùla student

It was the 50th Anniversary of the Merrie Monarch Festival in 2013! Let me tell you that it was awesome! For those who don’t know what the Mer-rie Monarch Festival is, it’s a non-profit organization that honors the legacy left by King David Kalakaua, who inspired the perpetuation of our traditions. It’s held for a week and features many hula competitions for both men and women at the Edith Kanaka’ole stadium in Hilo. Not only do people from Hawaii go, but people from all around the world show off their own hula dances.

They started the tradition in 1963, and it has grown into a huge interna-

tional celebration. They also select a Miss Aloha Hula. The winner for that was a girl named Manalani Mii Hokoana English. She was very good and beauti-ful. I always look forward to the Merrie Monarch Festival because of the hula dances people do and the beautiful and unusual costumes they wear. I also know they have to practice every day to get the moves down.

I was reading about it and it says that it takes centuries to develop a cul-tural practice like hula, half a century to build a festival like the Merrie Monarch, a year for a halau to prepare it’s dance, and seven minutes for them to dance on stage. I can’t wait for the next Merrie Monarch Festival!

The Legend of the Bird of ParadiseOriginally printed in the Jan. 16, 1985 Dispatch

Editor’s note: This is one of many moòlelo that were printed in past issues of The Molokai Dispatch between 1985 to 2001. We reprint them now as they originally appeared. This par-ticular story had no author listed.

Long ago in the land of Hawaii, before the Great Mahele, the people of Hawaii flourished in the warmth of the golden sun. The Earth gave forth her blessings and ev-eryone was happy. The fish of the sea, the birds of the air and the Hawaiian people all lived in harmony and peace. One day the Hawaiian people decided it was easier to hunt the birds of the air than work in the fields. So great was their slaughter that many of the birds became extinct.

The most beautiful of the birds, with

its orange and blue plumage, determined not to die without one last chance. They flew together to the Kahuna and pleaded with him to use his powerful magic to save them. The Kahuna thought and thought. He knew that shortly the Hawaiian people would return to their peaceful coexistence with nature so he began to chant and pray. One by one the birds began to drop from their graceful flight and miraculously changed into plants. The Kahuna was go-ing to turn them back into birds but died before he could do so.

The Hawaiian people remembered their lesson and the Bird of Paradise still stands as a symbol of the people’s oneness with the land -- even to this day!

Originally printed in the Akaùla School newsletter

The Molokai DispaTch •May 8, 2013 • 11 entertaInMent

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Tarahumara Indians of northwestern Mexico are renowned for their ability to run long distances. The best runners can cover 200 miles in two days. The paths they travel are not paved or smooth, either, but rather the rough canyon trails that stretch between their settlements. Let’s make them your inspirational role models in the coming week, Aries. I’m hoping that you will be as tough and tenacious as they are -- that you will pace your-self for the long haul, calling on your instinctual strength to guide you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may have only a dim idea about how your smart phone and computer work, but that doesn’t prevent you from using their many wonderful features. While you’re swimming, you know almost noth-ing about the physiological processes that are active inside you, and yet you have no problem making all the necessary movements. In that spirit, I’m not worried about whether or not you will grasp the deep inner meaning of events that will be unfolding in the coming week. Complete understanding isn’t absolutely necessary. All you need to do is trust your in-tuition to lead you in the direction of what’s interesting and educational.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I need not sell my soul to buy bliss,” says a character in Charlotte Bronte’s 19th-century novel Jane Eye. “I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.” This would be a great speech for you to memorize and periodically recite in the next two weeks. Do it in front of your mirror at least once a day to remind yourself of how amazingly resourceful you are. It will also help you resist the temptation to seek gifts from people who can’t or won’t give them to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): What is the big adventure you’ve been postponing forever because it hasn’t been convenient? How about an intriguing possibility you have always wanted to experiment with but have consistently denied yourself? Or what about that nagging mystery you’ve been wishing you had the time and energy to solve? Wouldn’t your life change for the better if you finally dived in and explored it? In the next two weeks, Cancerian, I urge you to consider giving yourself permission to pursue something that fits one of those descriptions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Right now, Leo, you are a majestic and mysterious mess of raw power. You are a fresh, flaming fountain of pure charisma. Irresistible! That’s you! Unstop-pable! You! Impossible to fool and immune to the false charms of heartfelt mediocrity! You! You! You! In your current condition, no one can obstruct you from seeing the naked truth about the big picture. And that’s why I am so sure that victory will soon be yours. You will overcome the fuzziness of your allies, the bad vibes of your adversaries, and your own inertia. Not all conquests are important and meaningful, but you will soon achieve the one that is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A character in Herman Hesse’s novel Demian says the following: “I live in my dreams. Other people live in dreams, but not in their own.” Whose dreams do you live in, Virgo? What is the source of the fantasies that dominate your imagination? Are they the authentic out-pourings of your own soul? Or did they originate with your parents and teachers and lovers? Did they sneak into you from the movies and songs and books you love? Are they the skewed result of the emotional wounds you endured or the limitations you’ve gotten used to? Now is an excellent time to take inventory. Find out how close you are to living in your own dreams.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Charles Ives was a re-nowned American composer who lived from 1874 to 1954. Because his music was experimental and idiosyncratic, it took a long time for him to get the appreciation he deserved. When he was 73 years old,

he won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for a symphony he had written when he was 30. I expect that in the near future you might be the beneficiary of a similar kind of mojo, Libra. A good deed you did or a smart move you made in the past will finally get at least some of the recognition or response you’ve always wanted.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “There are no right answers to wrong questions,” says science fiction writer Ursula K. Le Guin. And that’s why you must be so conscientious about coming up with the very best questions. Right, Scorpio? All your efforts to hunt down solutions will be for naught unless you frame your problems elegantly and accurately. Now here’s the very good news: Your skill at asking pertinent questions is at a peak. That’s why I suggest you make this Fo-cused Inquiry Week. Crisply define three questions that will be important for you to address in the next seven months.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Charlie Parker was a great jazz musician. As a saxophonist and composer, he was an influential innovator. Unfortunately, he also had an expensive heroin addiction. It interfered with his ability to achieve financial stability. There’s a famous story about him showing a bystander two veins on his arm as he prepared to shoot up. “This one’s my Cadillac,” he confessed. “And this one’s my house.” I’m bringing this up, Sagittarius, in the hope that it will provide a healthy shock. Are you doing anything remotely like Charlie Parker? Are you pouring time and en-ergy and money into an inferior form of pleasure or a trivial distraction that is undermining your ability to accomplish higher goals? If so, fix that glitch, please.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good,” said iconic songwriter Woody Guthrie. “I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim too ugly or too this or too that. Songs that run you down or poke fun at you. I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world.” Amen, brother Woody! I have the same approach to writing horoscopes. And I’m happy to advise you, Capricorn, that you should have a similar attitude toward everything you put out and take in during the coming week. Just for now, reject all words, ideas, and actions that demoralize and destroy. Treat yourself to a phase of relentless positivity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I know not what my past still has in store for me,” testified the Indian spiritual poet Tukaram. I believe most of us can say the same thing, and here’s why: The events that happened to us once upon a time keep transforming as we ripen. They come to have different meanings in light of the ever-new experiences we have. What seemed like a setback when it first occurred may even-tually reveal itself to have been the seed of a blessing. A wish fulfilled at a certain point in our history might come back to haunt us later on. I bring up these ideas, Aquarius, because I think you’re primed to reinterpret your own past.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): According to legend, Jen-nifer Lopez’s butt is insured for $300 million. Bruce Spring-steen has supposedly insured his voice for $31 million and wine expert Angela Mount is said to have insured her taste buds for $16 million. In that spirit, Pisces, I encourage you to consider insuring your imagination. To be clear, I don’t anticipate that you will have occasion to collect any settle-ment. Nothing bad will happen. But taking this step could be a fun ritual that might drive home to you just how important your imagination will be in the coming weeks. Your power to make pictures in your mind will either make you crazy with unfounded fantasies and fearful delusions, or else it will help you visualize in detail the precise nature of the situations you want to create for yourself in the future.

Veterans CornerColumn by Jesse Church

Aloha my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events.

The fighter squadron commanded by Jam Gregory “Pappy” Boyington was known as “The Black Sheep.” Why? In 1943, 27 pilots came together under the leadership of Boyington and Maj. Stan Bailey, who formed Marine Fighter Squadron 214 with the understanding that they would only have four weeks to train them for combat in the Pacific, according to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing’s website. Boyington had just re-turned from China, where as a member of the all-volunteer “Flying Tigers,” he had downed six Japanese planes and became an originator of U.S. fighter tactics against the enemy. Because of the pilots’ unassigned status and di-verse backgrounds, the group adopted the Black Sheep nickname. In the Pa-cific, they destroyed 203 enemy planes, made 97 confirmed air to air kills and damaged enemy vehicles, ships and installations, according to the website. Boyington was shot down and cap-tured on Jan. 3, 1944, effectively end-ing the squadron’s run. It later was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for extraordinary heroism. Boyington, a prisoner of war until 1945, earned the Medal of Honor and Navy Cross.

At this time I would like to thank all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai for all the help, understand-ing and kind words of encouragement that you have shown me over the last two plus years that I have been writing

this column, I could not have done it without you. But as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, and this is the end for me; this will be my last column. I sincerely hope that my column has been enjoyed, and I hope that someone will step up and continue to write the Veterans Corner. I learned a great deal as I did the research for the column. If anyone would like to con-tinue this column, please get in touch with the Dispatch office. Hopefully I will be able to write a column from time to time, or if something important comes up. I am not leaving Molokai, so I’ll still see everybody around town and at events like Memorial Day that’s coming up later this month.

All you members of the VFW please remember that your next meet-ing will be on Tuesday, May 14 at Commander George Harada’s home at 12:30 p.m. If anyone would like membership information, or if anyone would like membership information, please call 553-5730.

Also, please remember that the Veterans Service Counselor, John Can-dello comes to Molokai on the first two Thursdays of every month, at the Of-fice of Hawaiian Affairs from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. by appointment; please call 533-3611 to make an appointment.

If anyone has any questions, needs some information or help with something or just wants to talk, please feel free to call me at 553-3323. I hope that everybody continues to enjoy their lives here on our island of Molokai, for I know I will, and please remember that old Jesse will continue to love you dearly. Mahalo to all my fellow veter-ans and residents of Molokai, aloha.

Outpouring of Love

Enough Beating Up on Obama

Hoòmau Mahalo

Molokai Earth Day

On behalf of the Kahalewai oha-na, the cousins of Malia and Kaimana would like to say mahalo to the commu-nity, friends and family who stood by our side in our time of need. Thank you for being there, whether in prayer, mon-etary contributions, helping hands and so much more. There are just too many

to thank and too many who would say “no pilikia!” The outpour of love came from near and far. We can never say it enough, but from the bottom of our hearts, mahalo, mahalo, mahalo!

The Kahalewai Cousins

The Dow is 15,000, and national un-employment rate 7.5 percent. There are many indicators that things are much better than they were six years ago. While watching and listening to Fox News and other conservative “think tanks,” it be-hooves me to think that when talking about Pres. Obama, the talk is always negative. In my opinion, every day Fox and others communicate with repetitive trigger words, sending subliminal mes-sages to the audience to down play any accomplishment of Pres. Obama with the hint of hoping his policies fail. I be-lieve Pres. Obama is on the right track, not everything is perfect. I think seques-tration was a mistake. The best policy for more success is “made in America,” “grown in America,” “sold in America” and everywhere else in the world and is a good mantra for the U.S.A. I can’t be-lieve that the media with so much influ-ence can talk using negative innuendos to the American people about a sitting president and with no reprimand or re-minders of journalism etiquette and fac-tual information. Enough beating up on Pres. Obama already. He was and still is born on Oahu, Hawaii.

In my opinion a cheaper way to

fight the war in Afghanistan is to with-draw the troops and leave a small coali-tion to buy the opium (poppies) from the Taliban which has been grown in the area for over 1,000 years. Taliban and Afghan people will build trust after a while and the U.S. will have slowly influenced the development of democracy, etc.

On another note, I’ve been dealt a bad hand with some serious issues re-garding my health. I will deal with it appropriately and now I’m looking for veterans who want to be in a leadership capacity for Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans. Some requirements include being a Molokai resident for at least 10 years, balanced temperament, commu-nity involvement, good communicator with all players from VA, politicians, etc., and being committed and steadfast in working with all veterans for the ben-efits that all veterans deserve.

Mahalo and pray for peace and jus-tice for all.

Larry Helm,Concerned Citizen

Commander, Molokai Veterans for Veterans
