Barking Sands celebrates Naval aviation turns 100

Article and photos by Anne E. O’Malley except as noted

Tough to believe the U.S. Navy has been involved with aircraft for 100 years. Nothing of that vintage was parked on the grounds of Barking Sands Pacific Missile Range Facility during its recent display as part of the USN’s centennial year of naval aviation.

Nonetheless, over 3,200 persons visited the navy base’s Welcome Aboard event honoring the occasion and those leaving after taking their fill were impressed with what they saw. From tots on bots—keiki manipulating robot controllers—to 28 displays inside a hangar, to 18 navy aircraft at ease on the ground outside, there was plenty to draw the eye and ample servicemen and women to demystify the tech stuff.

Meanwhile, the Navy’s Pacific fleet Band had the clear Kekaha sky for its sounds to soar through, not to mention amplification around the island via Rooster Country 99.9FM broadcasting live.

Kapa`a resident Arthur Budd, a 90 year old WWII naval combat pilot who earned many medals for his service in the Pacific theater, travelled across the island to join in the PMRF Centennial of Naval Aviation festivities.

Na Pali—Out of Clay 25th anniversary

by Anne E. O’Malley The next time you pass through the Richard A. Kawakami terminal at Lihu‘e Airport, pause to look at the ceramic mural Na Pali on the back wall of the lobby. Once, that artistic rendering had a humbler life—as 15 tons of clay in a riverbed in China.

Kaua‘i native son, artist David Kuraoka, designed the mural in

1984, then took it to a clay factory in Korea where he sculpted, glazed and fired it for its installation here in 1986. At the time, he was the head of the Ceramics department at San Francisco State University. A year later, he’d be designated a Hawai‘i Living Treasure by the Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawai‘i.

But at the time of the project—the

Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts had been talking to him for five years about doing something—he says, “I had never worked with such a scale. When you’re young and cocky, it’s no big deal, but when it comes down to it, it’s gonna be up there—10 feet high by 50 feet wide.”

How did Na Pali come to be a ceramic piece? Certainly his

mother inspired him throughout his life.

Emiko Kuraoka of Lihu‘e, a retired teacher, is his numbah one fan.

And there was more—a lifelong pull to Na Pali itself. Says Kuraoka, “I used to go to Kalalau all summer, for 30 years; I looked at all the rocks.

“They’re just too much—the visuals are beyond holding it see Na Pali page 13

Jan TenBruggencate Grow Edibles

The uncle of a friend would grow nothing on his property unless it was at least a two-fer.

It could be attractive, but it also had to be edible. It could form a fence or boundary, but it also had to be edible.

It could provide shade, but it also had to be edible.

In an age when we’re worried about food security, food safety and food cost, my friend’s uncle seemed to have found a clue.

If you’re concerned about what you consume, why grow anything at home that can’t do double duty as

Or simply comb the neighborhood. Many neighbors in the Islands have interesting

edibles, and most folks are willing to share with someone who expresses an interest.

It’s important to remember that there are also lots of plants that contain toxins. And plants with some edible parts and some inedible or even poisonsee Edibles page 10

Cover Story

Taro farmer Adam Asquith: Advocate for local water rights Article by Joan Conrow Photos by Anne E. O’Malley

Ten years ago, Adam Asquith decided he wasn’t going to get involved in any more “anti” campaigns.

Instead, the fresh water advocate vowed to devote his energy solely to initiatives already moving in what he considers “the right direction”—including hydroelectric power.

“When you fight something, it’s a constant struggle, it’s not fulfilling,” Asquith explains.

In the decade since his epiphany, Asquith has found “tremendous satisfaction” growing taro at Kealia and Wailua, and assisting Waipa, Stacy Sproat’s culturallybased farming and ecosystem restoration project in Hanalei.

“It’s so heart-warming to work with people who value the soil and water,” he says.

Toiling in the taro lo‘i also has caused Asquith to move away from the “hands off” attitude about nature that developed during his years of researching damselflies, working as a refuge biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and being active in environmental issues.

“My relationship with water evolved

from that academic and uniquely Western concept of protectionist: protect critters and keep water in the stream,” he says. “And being a taro farmer, of course you’ve got to take water out of the stream. I’ve come to see that the human world is part of the natural world. Without people interacting in the environment, it’s so easy to break that connection with nature and so hard to reconnect.”

Asquith, who has two hanai (adopted) children, says that growing taro, from which Hawaiians believe the first human descended, also prompted “a big spiritual shift for me. My taro farm is part of my hanai family. To get huli (taro starts), I had to develop relationships with farmers to have enough trust in me that I’ll take care of something they produced, something that’s an extension of their family. It’s a big responsibility for me, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure my family survives.”

Asquith grew alarmed when he learned that the Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative had signed a contract with Free Flow Power to study the viability of hydroelectric

power on six streams and ditch systems—all key to farming—under a process governed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

Asquith believes farmers will end up with less water if the process moves forward. “If water’s gonna be shut off to my farm and my children will die, there’s no question what I will do to protect them.”

What he did was to launch a petition drive that requires KIUC to hold a general membership meeting on the issue prior to June 9, as well as allow coop members to vote on the Free Flow agreement.

In the process, Asquith found himself embroiled in one of the “anti” campaigns he’d pledged to avoid. But he sees it as ultimately supporting two positive initiatives: continued local control of water resources and the development of hydroelectric power.

Asquith is concerned that the FERC process will generate intense cultural and environmental opposition, resulting in expensive, lengthy litigation that will work to greatly delay or even totally derail hydro as a viable renewable ensee Asquith page 11

ous parts.

And plants that are fine for some folks but cause allergic reactions in others. Peanuts are one example. Mangos are another.

There is no shortage of plant species that have multiple benefits.

Like the edible hibiscus whose wide, glossy

leaves are a visual treat, but which also can be tossed into a green salad. The petals of colorful common hibiscus blossoms can be added as a flashy garnish to green salads.

Brightly colored nasturtium blossoms have a peppery flavor, and nasturtium seed pods can be pickled to make a home-grown substitute for capers. You

can eat rose petals, too.

Need a landscape tree? Make it an avocado or orange, a white guava or a Samoan coconut, a dwarf mango or a lychee.

Need a bush or a hedge plant? How about strawberry guava or Surinam cherry, both of which have attractive glossy leaves?

Sweet potatoes will cover a patch of ground

with dense foliage. Got a fence? How about training a passion fruit vine, or even Isabella grapes on it?

Pick up an Edible Plants for Hawaii Landscapes brochure from the University of Hawai`i’s Cooperative Extension Service, or download one from: ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/ freepubs/pdf/L-14.pdf.

There’s nothing

like the satisfaction of whipping up a smoothie made entirely from the fruit of your own yard: your own bananas, papayas, oranges, and, depending on the time of year, some starfruit, jabong, or other fruits.

Or baking up toasted coconut chips from a tree that shades the driveway. Or making a salad of breadfruit

chunks — tastes like artichoke hearts.

David Bissell, chief executive officer for Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative, believes rate payers will benefit from pursuing hydroelectric power under a process governed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

“It’s a well-defined, transparent process that requires intensive involvement by all stakeholders,” Bissell says, adding that it’s required for navigable waterways like the Wailua River.

Adam Asquith disagrees, noting the state vigorously opposed a previous attempt to develop hydro on the Wailua River under the FERC process because it supercedes Hawai‘i’s unique water laws and gives developers the power of eminent domain.

Bissell says that if KIUC didn’t stake its claim to study the feasibility of hydro on Kaua‘i, “a for-profit developer could get in place before us.” And that likely would mean higher electric costs for rate payers.

The utility chose to contract with Free Flow Power to help it through the FERC process because the company has “high caliber professionals” on staff to do many of the required studies, and KIUC does not.

The fate of the contract with Free Flow ultimately will be decided by a vote of KIUC members. If they turn it down and reject FERC, Bissell says that could mean an end to the utility’s foray into hydro.

“I would not recommend we go forward investing possibly millions of dollars without the FERC process because someone could jump in front of us,” he says.

“I think KIUC did not do their homework on this one,” he says. “This could leave a bad taste in people’s mouths about hydro when the whole intent was to promote hydro.”

He’d rather see hydro development tied into projects that deliver irrigation water to farmers, which in turn would promote sustainability and help the island become more self-sufficient in food production.

leads back to his own desire to “be the change you want to see in the world,” to borrow a quote from Gandhi.

“You can live your values,” he says. “It takes time, it’s more difficult and it leaves you with no time for the things society tells you are important. But really, they’re not important, and they’re not the values we profess to hold. It’s hard to make the shift, but when you do, life is so much more fulfilling, so much richer.”

Na Pali from page 4

in your head, beyond what I remember. It’s not like drawing this rock or this piece, it’s definitely spiritual, breathtaking, beyond inspiration.”

Which is how it happened, for the sake of art, that Kuraoka found himself making about six, 10-day to two-week trips to Korea over a year’s time to work on Na Pali the mural. He asked Kaua‘i friends Shigeru Miyamoto and Gaylord Fukumoto to travel with him, and friend Melani Nagao also accompanied the group

once to photograph and video the fabrication.

Twenty Korean factory workers pummeled and wedged the clay to push the air out of it. Kuraoka laid a billboard-size paper design on the clay and poked through the paper, drew lines and built up the relief.

When finished, the mural was a solid piece that Kuraoka then cut into 650 parts, hollowed out in the back and labeled for easier re-assembly once it arrived on Kaua‘i.

The 25th anniversary of the installation of Na Pali prompted the designer of the

airport concourse window displays, Carol K. Yotsuda, a retired art teacher who has known Kuraoka since his Kaua‘i High School days, to design an exhibit on the mural. Photos from the mural-making process and more are on display on the Hawaiian Airlines side of the concourse.

In addition, Yotsuda has organized a semi-retrospective of Kuraoka’s work in the foreground of the HAL window and has carried it over into the United Airlines side of the airport. Both windows carry their displays through July.

her husband, Orlando, took time out from a six-day work week to talk about how she loves her job.

“My job is to serve Kaua‘i, our community, and to share my life and love with others,” she says. “It’s not just about food.

“When people come to Rainbow Living Foods, they find a home and many change their lives after coming here. A lady from London came here and said it was the first time she’d discovered this kind of food, and she was here every

single day of her vacation.”

Netto, a vegan for 20 years—vegans neither eat nor use animal products—says she’s eaten only raw foods for the last 10 years.

Why has she chosen this path?

“I come from a family that is obese. There are heart disease and diabetes problems, and I felt like I did not want that to happen to me,” she says.

“I’m not living just to eat, but am eating to live.”

She and friends who began eating raw were “having excellent results, both physical and mental,” she adds.

Eating raw is no privation; on the contrary, it’s delicious, according to Netto. It takes time, as in the case of bread made from sprouted seeds and nuts that may be in process for four days, from soaking to sprouting to dehydrating. Nothing is prepared at more than 118 degrees so that enzymes and minerals remain active.

If you want to start with something divine, Netto suggests trying the crème de la crème dish, her tiramisu.

She adds, “People love, love, love our tacos—and our rainbow

burger, a veggie patty.”

Netto also offers Sunday workshops when five or more people request it, teaching how to do some basic raw food preparations and recipes. She accepts requests via phone at 821-9759.

Rainbow Living Foods

does catering and once even had a wedding in the small restaurant with over 30 people, all arranged by telephone with the party on the mainland.

“I Iove to change lives for people,” says Netto. “Many people come not just for food,

but they want to talk to me.”

Come eat or talk Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. or on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Healthy Kaua‘i is Our Priority

Managing Diabetes: A Certified Diabetes Educator Can Help

M

anaging diabetes is a little easier when you get some help from health care professionals.

The comprehensive diabetes management program at Kaua’i Medical Clinic is part of the Health Management Program (HMP). Recently the program, led by physician assistant, Don Traller, received approval by the American Academy of Diabetes Educators as a certified program.

One of the “extra special” services to patients is access to a certified diabetes educator.

A certified diabetes educator is a health care professional who is specialized and certified to teach people with diabetes or pre diabetes how to manage their condition. Diabetes educators apply in-depth knowledge and skills in the biological and social sciences, communication, counseling, and education to provide self-management education/self-management training.

Don Traller, PA-C, CDE leads a team of professionals at the Health Management Program at Kaua‘i Medical Clinic, and helping patients to effectively manage their diabetes is a top priority.

Mary Roush, RN, CDE at Kaua’i Medical Clinic’s Health Management Program.

Mary Roush, a registered nurse with Kaua’i Medical Clinic for the past 25 years, was one of the first health care professionals on Kaua’i to receive her certification. “I work with those patients who need to learn the tools and skills necessary to control their blood sugar and avoid long-term complications due to high blood sugar, and I can spend as much time with a person who has diabetes as is needed both for educational purposes and emotional support,” said Mary. “We focus on seven key behaviors that promote successful self-management: Healthy eating, being active, monitoring, taking medication, problem solving, healthy coping and reducing risks.”

The Health Management Program at Kaua’i Medical Clinic is expanding to provide diabetes education services at all their neighborhood clinics on Kaua’i. Mary, along with Don Traller PA-C, CDE, is currently involved in mentoring two new diabetes educators, Norrisa Ahlgren, RN and Danielle Hill, RN, MPH. For more information on managing your diabetes, call the Health Management Program at 245-1500.

Island Activities One with the poi

by Anne E. O’Malley

Poi, made from kalo, is a staple of the Hawaiian diet. Roughly two thirds of the kalo grown for poi in Hawai‘i is grown here on Kaua‘i, in the Hanalei Valley.

Each Thursday at Waipa—a Hawaiian-managed land division, or ahupua‘a, of 1,600 acres in the valley—families as a group purchase kalo from local farmers. Many gather to prepare it for milling poi that goes to about 100 families around the island that same day.

Waipa offers a hands-on opportunity for “out-of-the-box” visitor volunteers who seriously enjoy connecting with host cultures. It’s definitely not a swing-by photo op. Respect is key here. Come to Waipa by 8 a.m. —about a half mile beyond Hanalei School, on the left —and don’t expect to leave until noon, after partaking of a delicious farm grownand-raised spread. Wear old clothes, get splashed and dirty, and you’ll leave with a bag of poi and a lifetime of memories.

“Come help and you’ll receive so much more,” says Stacy Sproat-Beck, executive director of the Waipa Foundation. Learn more about Waipa at www.waipafoundation.org, or call 826. 9969.

Here are some Na ‘Olelo— Hawaiian words—for you to use. ahupua‘a—pie-shaped land division extending from the uplands to the sea kalo—taro malama—care for poi—mashed kalo mixed with water

FIT: Food, Water, & Exercise—Three Simple Keys to Good Health

by Jodee Burris

Jodee Burris. Photo by Wayne Burris

Have you ever thought about what you’re eating? The 100 calorie pack or lean frozen dinner may sound healthy, but oftentimes those processed foods are filled with chemicals, “food-like” substances, and preservatives, none of which is really that good for you.

You may read nutrition labels, but when was the last time you read an ingredient label? Try eating food without ingredient lists—fresh fruit and vegetables—or foods with a short list of identifiable ingredients. If you don’t know what it is, you probably shouldn’t put it into your body.

Cutting out just one 12-ounce soda a day could help you lose 15 pounds by the end of Page 18

a year, not to mention ridding your body of artificial colors, flavors, high fructose corn syrup—or worse, aspartame—and empty calories. Thankfully, you have a practically free source of thirst quenching goodness flowing freely from your tap.

For a healthy twist, add a lime or lemon to your water, or try sparkling water for a carbonated kick. Fill a pitcher of water in your refrigerator and throw in some fruit— pineapples are great, or mint leaves—and let the water infuse with the flavors.

Getting into an exercise routine can improve your health, energize you, allow quality sleep, and promote a more positive attitude. see FIT page 19
