When Plants Sweat
Since 1985
Costume Contest Brings Big Crowd
Understanding irrigation
W
e all do it. In mammals, the loss of fluid from the pores of the skin is called perspiration. In plants, it’s known as transpiration. Even the land circulates and loses moisture -- a process called evaporation. Most people don’t think twice about how much plants sweat -- but for farmers, especially those on Molokai where water is scarce -- understanding plant transpiration can make all the difference.

ombies, clowns, giant sweets and superheroes of all ages put on a show and strutted their stuff Thursday at this year’s Lions Club Halloween Costume Contest.
Over 140 costumed contestants presented their scariest, cutest and most original Halloween-wear to Lions Club members on the Kaunakakai Public Library’s front lawn with cash prizes of $10 for first place, $5 for second and an ICEE coupon for third. “This year, more kids are making their own costumes and it’s fun seeing
how creative they can get,” said Lion Linda Mina. This year’s results are still a little fuzzy as Lion member judges viewed a monster mash of costumes, however the recorded winners are as follows: For the baby to preschool category, Liliu McGuire won cutest costume as a lamb; Kileona Kanawaliwali won scariest as a witch; and Lehue Rawlins-Elalins won most original as an aloha float. For Kindergarten to third grade, Kailann McGuire-Grerrer won cutest; Kailani Bicoy was named scariest; and

wo Molokai shooters represented the Farmers at the state championships for air riflery two weeks ago. Senior Pono Chow on the boys side and sophomore Pomai Gomes from the girls team gave it their best shot after the Farmers came in third in the Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) championship Oct. 19.
“They’re already champions,” said Molokai girls coach Eddie Gorospe. [They’re two of the] 42 best shooters in Hawaii -- just going [to states] is an accomplishment.” Chow came in 24th place out of 42 male shooters in the state competition with 495 points out of a possible 600. Gomes finished in 27th place with 490 points out of the 42 girls competing. First-year shooter Gomes improved from the 478 points she earned at MILs. “She did really well, she should be proud of herself,” said Gorospe. “Pomai has so much talent in her.” The Farmers air riflery team has had
shooters competing at the state level for the past three years. “Molokai has a lot of hunting, so we gotta show what we got,” said boys coach Henry Corpuz. Besides safety, the most important things in the sport, Corpuz said, are focus and relaxation. “You need to go in and be positive,” he said, saying he tells students they need to leave any stress from family or school when they walk in the door to practice. “They need to come in happy. What they learn in here, it’s good practice for outside [the sport] too.” As they practiced for the state competition, both Chow and Gomes moved slowly and smoothly with quiet precision as they took aim, perfecting their shots in prone, kneeling and standing positions. Targets 30 feet away are graded in a point system, with the bulls eye being 10 points, and shots decreasing in value away from the center. Shooters must hit 20 targets from each position within time limits. “[As I’m competing] I think about

Chow said he shoots with both eyes open so his face doesn’t squint and tense up. A strap around the upper arm of the shooter attaches to the gun to help stabilize it. Chow said the strap also serves to mute the pulse of the shooter. If the pulse from your upper arm transfers into the gun, the rifle will bounce as you take aim. “If I could stop by heartbeat while I’m shooting, I would,” said Chow.

Molokai has the highest recorded rate of evaporation in the state at 118 inches per year, according to Alton Arakaki, a University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Humans Resources (CTAHR) Molokai extension agent. Evaporation is caused by a variety of environmental stimulants, such as humidity, wind and sun. It is also closely tied to plant transpiration rates. Evapotranspiration is a combination of the environment’s evaporation rate and the amount of water lost by plants through transpiration from their leaves. In agriculture, it’s important to understand the balance between the evapotranspiration rate and the amount of water needed for irrigation. That balance, according to Arakaki, is best managed through a strategy of applying the same Irrigation Continued pg. 3

Construction Career Day Girls Volleyball: Strong Athletes, Strong Students MECO News Release
By Jessica Ahles | Staff Writer
T
he Molokai High School (MHS) girls volleyball season came to an end after this year’s Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) Championships on Oct. 16. Looking back, the Farmers consider it a hard-fought season of determination and improvement on and off the court.
“From pre-season to post-season we’ve definitely improved,” said head coach Mahea Rawlins. “We tried as hard as we could…we stuck together as a team and we fought to the end.” The girls finished the season with a 9-4 record after competing against Hana and coming up short in the semi-finals of the MILS, according to MHS Athletic Director Hoku Haliniak. “It just wasn’t our night,” said assistant coach Hale Domingo. “But overall I’m really happy with the girls and I think we had an awesome season.” Haliniak said the girls showed great teamwork, good attitudes, and took care of their equipment throughout the season. But the team wasn’t just made up of good athletes; she said they were good academic students as well. “The 14-player team had a 3.2
grade point average, and that is what’s really impressive,” Haliniak said. Six seniors -- Taylor Keliihoomalu, Taylor Tananaha, Heather Place, Rizpah Torres-Umi, Caylee Ledesma, and Shaniah Mollena-Lopez -will be saying goodbye to the team this year. Domingo said these girls “were a big part of the team.” Rawlins said because of a heightened number of interested players this past season, she is trying to include a junior varsity (JV) squad for the upcoming season. Although they won’t be able to travel with the varsity team, they will be able to compete in JV tournaments off-island. “Usually there is only one JV [girls volleyball] tournament every season,” said Haliniak. “But next season, there will be four JV tournaments on Maui, and I’m going to fight to bring one of those tournaments to Molokai.” Looking ahead, Domingo said next year will be an exciting season seeing the returning players and knowing the freshman are going to be a year older. “Hopefully they’re hungry enough to push their skills next season,” said Domingo. “I think with the core girls we have now…we will be even better.”

Ka Mahi`ai Kalo
Aloha! We are the fourth grade class of Kula Kaiapuni at Kualapu`u Elementary. We are learning about Hawaiian plants – native, indigenous and Polynesian introduced species. One of the valuable plants that were brought to Hawaii is the kalo.
Kalo was an important plant to our ancestors and should be an important plant for us today. We visited the farm at UH Extension M.C.C. at Mahana. Before in Hawaii, there were over 346 different names for kalo – and at the farm, we counted over 60 different varieties. We saw the Aweu, the Elepaio, the Manini Kea, the Manini Eleele the Mana Opelu, the Uahiapele, and the Lauloa Palakea-papamu varieties. We also saw the Apu, the Moana, the Iliuaua, the Miyako and the Ulaula Poni. The Zuiki is a giant kalo plant that can be eaten raw with sashimi! Some kalo have very dark piko and some have very large leaves. Other kalo have curly leaves and some have very long stems. We helped to plant some new kalo. You need water to soften the ground. Then dig a hole with an oo and plant the huli. The kalo will grow for other friends to see when they visit the farm. We got to harvest a lot of taro and Kumu Loke cooked it for us to eat. First we had to cut the kalo from the stem and then wash the kalo to remove the roots and soil. Afterwards, Kumu boiled the kalo and we had to remove the outer skin with a spoon. The kalo was cut into small pieces and we ate it. All the different kalo varieties tasted so good! We also learned that if a disease or insect infests the kalo, it might not be good for us to eat it. It was a fun field trip and we were happy that we got to visit. We want to thank Uncle Alton Arakaki, Uncle James Boswell, Aunty Faith Tuipulotu and Aunty Keanu Kapuni for a wonderful day!

What’s New is Not Good: Biosecurity Challenges in Hawaii By Glenn I. Teves | UH Molokai Extension Agent Biosecurity is a set of preventive measures designed to reduce the risk of introduction into Hawaii of infectious diseases, quarantined pests, invasive alien species, and living modified organisms. Each year, approximately 10 to 15 new major insect pests are accidentally introduced onto Oahu. On top of this, many other seemingly unimportant pests are also accidentally introduced, though we may not fully understand their impacts at that time. Oahu’s major ports of entry -- including harbors, airports, and military installations -- are the main entry points for these pests, but they can also be sent through mail systems. It’s believed that the arrival of over 1000 40-foot containers each day carrying most of Hawaii’s food, supplies and materials are a main source of invasive pests because there’s insufficient personnel to adequately inspect these containers. Once in Hawaii, there’s no strategy or regulatory trigger to prevent the introduction of invasive species onto neighbor islands, as there’s no interisland quarantine inspection system at ports of entry. TSA focuses on weapons, and is not concerned about invasive plants and insects. There are instances in which some islands have been spared the introduction of a major pest years after the pest has been well established in Hawaii. A good example is our island, where Papaya Ringspot Virus is not found. On Molokai, too, Banana Bunchy Top Virus has been eradicated and hasn’t established itself, although there are hot spots on the island that need to be closely monitored. Through the efforts of the UH College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR), the Molokai-Maui Invasive Species Committee (MoMISC), and especially a concerned and vigilant community, efforts to keep some of these major pests off Molokai
Longevity Spinach A few weeks ago, I wrote an article about growing Okinawan spinach in buckets. I have also been growing another perennial salad herb that grows well on Molokai. Its scientific name is gynura procumbens, but it is also known as “longevity spinach” or “cholesterol spinach.” The plant is native to southeast Asia, and is widely known for its nutritional and medicinal values. Proponents claim it fights a variety of ailments, including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even cancer. However, I feel it is worth growing just to eat. This plant is quite hardy and prolific. Once established, it will grow almost as fast as you can pick it. Growing longevity spinach is quite similar to Okinawan spinach. You can easily start plants from cuttings. I find you don’t even have to start roots in water; you can just insert fresh cuttings directly into the soil about five inches, and it usually takes. Just make sure it’s kept well-watered while it grows roots. You can grow it in containers quite well if you have limited space, or plant a whole garden bed. It requires minimum upkeep
have been successful, but we cannot let our guard down. Hawaii Island has its own set of serious pests that haven’t reached Molokai. Three pests of major concern include the coffee bean borer, the coqui frog and the small fire ant. Suspected entry points into Hawaii are believed to be nurseries importing new plant materials from areas where these pests are found, and also farm workers and imported coffee. The coqui frog has been intercepted on Molokai four times already, including one that hitchhiked on a car chassis to Halawa, which is one of their favorite modes of travel. The small fire ant has been moving around Hawaii Island in compost, plants, and soil, but along with the coffee been borer, has not reached Molokai. There are horror stories of lost opportunities in eradicating a new pest in Hawaii due to poor coordination, decision making, implementation, and also the lack of funds. Without a strong quarantine policy and an adequately-funded implementation strategy, we will continue to face major threats to our crops, our native ecosystem and our physical landscape. In the meantime, the community will need to be self-regulating by practicing common sense and not bringing in plants and animals from other islands, especially Oahu and Hawaii. Seeds are the preferred method of plant movement to prevent the introduction of farm-related pests to new farm areas. We cannot depend on anyone but ourselves. Only we can protect our island, and everyone needs to do their part.
and is easily harvested by pinching off the end leaves. I find that this variety of spinach grows better in partial shade. It will grow in the full sun, but the leaves are more tender when it’s in some shade. The leaves will also be more tender if you keep it watered regularly. Uses of this spinach are varied, and it can be eaten raw or cooked. I have even boiled a whole potful with salt and butter added, and found it similar to eating southern collard greens. Some people think the taste of longevity spinach is strong, but I found I got used to it. I actually prefer it to iceberg lettuce now. I use it on almost every day on sandwiches, in salads, and mixed in with stir fried vegetables. If you would like to see longevity spinach up close, there is a bed of this plant at Mitchell Pauole Center, next to the Parks and Rec office. A simple Internet search of gynura procumbens will turn up many articles and blogs containing further information, including health benefits and recipes. But I wouldn’t mail order plants or cuttings, as there are plenty of people on island you can get cuttings or even established plants from. Just network a little bit!

Pathways for Fun and Profit By Joe Kennedy To me, pathways are the simplest way of using our energy to get the things we want, and are loaded with possibilities. Pathways through our gardens and farms can be used for more than just access. Call it “pathway gardening and farming.” When you arrive home, you get out of the car and usually walk to the kitchen. Along that distance, every square inch has possibilities for making life better. Potted herbs and veggies can be on both sides along the way -- you can pick your dinner when you arrive home on the way to the door. The watering hose can be situated

amount of water to a crop as is lost through evapotranspiration. Irrigate any more than that and water will be wasted, while less will cause plants to not produce at their peak. To help farmers understand this process, Arakaki held a water conservation and irrigation management workshop last month at the UH Molokai Applied Research and Demonstration Farm. There, Arakaki shared a variety of field tests aimed to show the effects of various irrigation methods and amounts. “What we have is what we have, so we have to use it to the best of our ability,” said Arakakai of the need for water conservation. “The state’s kuleana is delivering water to the meter… Once it [arrives there], it’s the farmer ’s responsibility.” Evaporation rates for a particular location can be determined by using a calibrated evaporation pan. Arakaki showed workshop attendees how to construct a large, circular pan 47.5 inches in diameter and 10 inches deep, and use a PVC pipe with a floating water measure inside to take accurate evaporation measurements. Farmers can use those measurements to determine how much water is needed per acre to irrigate various crops. This value is expressed as Kc, or the percentage of pan evaporation rate that will equal the evapotranspiration of the crop. Each crop has a different Kc value -- pineapple, for example, requires a Kc of only about 20 percent, whereas many other plants will fall between 60 and 100 percent of the evaporation rate, said Arakaki. He said farmers have found that water has more influence on crop yield than fertilizer. In field tests, Arakaki showed the effects of different irrigation types such as drip and sprinkler. Drip irrigation gen-
with the right length to reach everything from the car door to the kitchen door. Put every tool, container, extra soil, different kinds of mulch, seed packets and labels along the way just at the spot that feels right for you. After many years of spreading out plants and trees over the edge of 25 acres, I’ve learned that a lot of my farming can be done by putting the trees right along the road to house. Seeing the plants every day always shows changes -- growth, color, weed and grass competition, rat and bird damage, and many other things. It’s art, architecture, and design almost, but the main idea is healthy, fresh food for the family. All roads are also pathways, and we could utilize this space for growing food.
erally offers a more consistent yield than sprinklers, he said. Windbreak treatments -- or using tall, protective plants to shield crops from the wind --can also affect crop success. Correct windbreak angle -- 135 degrees in relation to the wind direction -- and careful variety choices (Sorghum Sudan grass is used at the Demonstration Farm) can affect the evaporation rate from the wind. Arakaki said the general rule for windbreak is every foot of vertical windbreak gives 10 feet of protection for adjacent crops. Arakaki also showed workshop attendees a test plot exploring the use of mulch on crop yield and the amount of water needed. Using oats, three demonstration plots with wood chips, plastic mulch and no mulch all receive the same amount irrigation and showed that the use of mulch doesn’t necessarily lead to success. Wood chips actually absorb water, leaving less available for the plants, explained Arakaki. In the test site, the oats growing without any covering grew best because of the water-holding capacity of the soil itself. “For some farmers, mulch is for weed control… [or to] protect the soil from wind erosion,” said Arakaki, adding that while mulch can be beneficial in some circumstances, using wood chip mulch may require extra irrigation. The workshop resulted from a conference held last year to determine agriculture needs in the County of Maui, according to Roland Prieto of the county’s Office of Economic Development. The goal was to bring immediate benefit to those in the ag community, and water was identified as a priority for Molokai. This was the second workshop in a series to help farmers and community members gain a better understanding of irrigation water resources on the island.

Legend of Ko`olau Free Performance MACC News Release Molokai residents will get a unique view into a facet of Hawaii history on Monday, Nov. 11with a free performance of “The Legend of Ko`olau.” The play by local author Gary T. Kubota is being offered on island by the Maui Arts & Cultural Center (MACC). “The Legend Of Ko`olau” is a one-man play, acted by Ed Ka`ahea and directed by Keo Woolford, telling the story of a Hawaiian man who became an “outlaw” while trying to protect his family’s right to live on the land in Kauai after the loss of Hawaiian sovereignty in 1893. The enforcement of leprosy laws at that time would have consigned Kaluaiko`olau
and his son to the “Living Grave” settlement at Kalaupapa, but Ko`olau’s wife Pi`ilani was resolved to keep the family together. Ko`olau had been a cowboy and fought against the militia, and he was an excellent marksman. These factors – as well as the vast wilderness of Kauai’s Kalalau Valley – contribute to his cause. “The Legend of Ko`olau” is a tale of love and survival – don’t miss this riveting slice of Hawaiian history with the performance on Monday, Nov. 11, 7 p.m. at Hale Kulana `Oiwi, free of charge. For more information about the play and social media links, visit mauiarts.org (“shows” tab) or legendofkoolau.com. www.comstockhawaii.com

Air Riflery
Continued From pg. 1 He said the biggest challenge for him has been self-control when pulling the trigger and staying steady. He added that his attitude and mind-set have changed since he started air riflery three years ago. His advice to beginning shooters is “be a competitor and not a shooter -- have a drive to win. Keep at it.” And that’s just what Gomes, who started on the team this year, has done. She said when she shoots in competition,
Last Saturday, the Molokai Heritage Rodeo was held in honor of long-time Molokai paniolo Uncle Jimmy Duvauchelle, right, who was a former Molokai Ranch employee for more than 40 years. The event, hosted by Molokai Ranch, featured keiki and competitive rodeo events, entertainment and renaming of the Maunaloa arena to the Uncle Jimmy Duvauchelle Rodeo Arena. Pictured below, Duvauchelle’s daughters, granddaughters and great granddaughters rode in a flag ceremony. Photos courtesy Melinda Mullis/Molokai Ranch.
she zones everyone else out -- and that focus as paid off. Gorospe said despite the popularity of hunting on Molokai and the large numbers of students who come for air riflery at the beginning of each season, few stick with it. Out of 31 Molokai High students who came to the first practice, only 14 boys and girls were there at the end of the season. He said next year, they may try an open house event for air riflery for interested shooters to try it out before the season begins to attract more interest in the sport.

Ho`ola Hou Scholarship and MOM Hui By Mercy Ritte With the help of numerous sponsors and the combined support of community members, a First Annual Grassroots Benefit Concert was held on July 5. This event generated a total of $4,507 from ticket proceeds and was donated to the Ho`ola Hou community-based scholarship, a fund created by the MOM hui. As a result, an award amount of $1,127 will be given to four 2014 Molokai High School senior students who are enrolled in a two- or four-year undergraduate program, seeking a degree in health, environmental studies or sustainable farming. You may pick up an application from the Molokai High & Intermediate School or the University of Hawaii Maui College – Molokai campus. The MOM hui began in late 2012, when a handful of mothers came together to raise awareness surrounding GMOs in our food supply, address concerns related to open-air field testing of GMOs and the intensive use of pesticides, and question the impact it may have on human health, our environment
County of Maui News Release
and our natural resources. The forward thinking and proactive actions of this group that came to be known as the MOM hui has urged other like-minded mothers across the state to also come together and voice their concern for the health, safety and wellbeing of their children. The MOM hui is now present on Kauai, Oahu, Maui and Hawaii island. We are also supported by Hawaii SEED, a nonprofit organization that is working with a coalition of five island communities to educate the public about the risks posed by GMOs and to promote diverse, local, healthy, and ecological food and farming. It is our hope to continue to inspire mothers, women, youth, and families to make health and wellness a priority, to be actively involved in the challenges we face here on Molokai, and to work together to create sustainable economic opportunities that will not impair human health, our environment, and our natural resources. “What We Love, We Will Protect!” For more information on the hui or scholarship, email theMOMhui@gmail.com.
The County of Maui is considering amending a bill relating to home businesses. The purpose of the proposed revisions is to establish standards and restrictions for the regulation of home businesses. It also seeks to establish home businesses as a permitted use in the residential and rural zoning districts and as a special use in the agricultural zoning district, as well as classify parcels upon which a home business is conducted as commercialized residential for real property tax purposes. A public meeting will be held on Molokai on Nov. 20 at the Mitch-
ell Pauole Center at 6 p.m. If you or someone you know has a home based business, you will want to attend this meeting. Please read the proposed bill to amend the Maui County Code relating to Home Based Businesses prior to attending the meeting. This will be your opportunity to provide testimony on the bill. To obtain a copy of the “Bill For An Ordinance Amending Title 19, Maui County Code, and Section 3.48.305, Maui County Code, Relating To Home Businesses,” visit the Kuha`o Business Center on Molokai or find it online at co.maui.hi.us/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/18410.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I’m not a big fan of fear. It gets far more attention than it deserves. The media and entertainment industries practically worship it, and many of us allow ourselves to be riddled with toxic amounts of the stuff. Having said that, though, I do want to put in a good word for fear. Now and then, it keeps us from doing stupid things. It prods us to be wiser and act with more integrity. It forces us to see the truth when we might prefer to wallow in delusion. Now is one of those times for you, Aries. Thank your fear for helping to wake you up. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Poetry might be defined as the clear expression of mixed feelings,” wrote W.H. Auden. If that’s true, then your job is to be a poet right now. You seem to be awash in a hubbub of paradoxical inclinations, complete with conflicting desires and mismatched truths. There’s no shame or blame in that. But you do have a responsibility to communicate your complexity with honesty and precision. If you can manage that, people will treat you with affection and give you extra slack. They might even thank you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What can you do to improve your flow? Are there obstructions in your environment that keep you from having a more fluidic rhythm? Do you harbor negative beliefs that make it harder for life to bestow its natural blessings on you? Now is the time to take care of glitches like these, Gemini. You have more power than usual to eliminate constrictions and dissolve fixations. Your intuition will be strong when you use it to drum up graceful luck for your personal use. Be aggressive. Be bold. Be lyrical. It’s high time for you to slip into a smooth groove. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the beginning of his novel The White Castle, Orhan Pamuk offers this meditation: “To imagine that a person who intrigues us has access to a way of life unknown and all the more attractive for its mystery, to believe that we will begin to live only through the love of that person—what else is this but the birth of great passion?” How do you respond to this provocative statement, Cancerian? Here are my thoughts: On the one hand, maybe it’s not healthy for you to fantasize that a special someone can give you what you can’t give yourself. On the other hand, believing this is true may inspire you to take an intriguing risk that would catalyze invigorating transformations. Which is it? Now is a good time to ruminate on these matters.
The Molokai Dispatch •November 6 , 2013 •
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the coming week you will probably have more luck than usual if you play keno, craps, blackjack, bingo, or roulette. People who owe you money will be inclined to pay you back, so you might want to give them a nudge. I won’t be surprised if you find a $20 bill lying on the sidewalk or if a store cashier accidentally gives you way too much change. In the wake of these tendencies, your main assignment is to be alert for opportunities to increase your cash flow. For example, if you wake up in the middle of the night with an idea for boosting your financial fortunes, I hope you will have a pen and notebook by the bed to write it down. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Not for all the whiskey in heaven,” begins a poem by Charles Bernstein. “Not for all the flies in Vermont. Not for all the tears in the basement. Not for a million trips to Mars. Not for all the fire in hell. Not for all the blue in the sky.” Can you guess what he’s driving at? Those are the things he will gladly do without in order to serve his passion. “No, never, I’ll never stop loving you,” he concludes. According to my understanding of your astrological cycle, Scorpio, now is a good time for you to make a comparable pledge. What is the one passion you promise to devote yourself to above all others? And what are you willing to live without in order to focus on that passion? Be extravagant, pure, wild, and explicit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Dmitri Razumikhin is a character in Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment. His surname is derived from the Russian word for “reason.” At one point he makes a drunken speech that includes these observations: “It’s by talking nonsense that one gets to the truth! Not one single truth has ever been arrived at without people first having talked a dozen reams of nonsense, even ten dozen reams of it.” Let’s make this a centerpiece of your current strategy, Sagittarius. Just assume that in order to ferret out the core insights that will fuel your next transformations, you may need to speak and hear a lot of babble. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): At the 2013 Grammy Awards, actor Neil Patrick Harris introduced the band Fun this way: “As legendary gangster rap icon Katharine Hepburn once said, if you follow all the rules, you miss all the fun.”Everything about that vignette is a template for the approach you can use now with great success. You should gravitate toward festive events and convivial gatherings. Whenever possible, you should sponsor, activate, and pave the way for fun. Toward that end, it’s totally permissible for you to tell amusing stories that aren’t exactly factual and that bend the rules not quite to the breaking point.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some spiritual traditions regard the ego as a bad thing. They imply it’s the source of suffering -- a chronically infected pustule that must be regularly lanced and drained. I understand this argument. The ego has probably been the single most destructive force in the history of civilization. But I also think it’s our sacred duty to redeem and rehabilitate it. After all, we often need our egos in order to get important things done. Our egos give us the confidence to push through difficulties. They motivate us to work hard to achieve our dreams. Your assignment, Aquarius, is to beautify your ego as you strengthen it. Build your selfesteem without stirring up arrogance. Love yourself brilliantly, VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This will be an excellent week not neurotically. Express your talents in ways that stimulate for you to talk with yourself -- or rather, with yourselves. I’m others to express their talents. envisioning in-depth conversations between your inner saint and your inner evil twin . . . between the hard worker and the PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Dr. Seuss wrote his children’s lover of creature comforts . . . between the eager-to-please books in English, but he liked to stretch the limits of his native servant of the greater good and the self-sufficient smartie tongue. “You’ll be surprised what there is to be found once who’s dedicated to personal success. I think that in at least you go beyond ‘Z’ and start poking around,” he said. One of the some of these confabs, you should speak every word out loud. extra letters he found out there was “yuzz,” which he used to You should gesture with your hands and express colorful body spell the made-up word “yuzz-a-ma-tuzz.” I recommend that language. It’s prime time for your different sub-personalities you take after Seuss -- not only in the way you speak, but also in the ways you work, play, love, dream, and seek adventure. to get to know each other better. It’s time to explore the territory beyond your comfort zone. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Canadians Tommy Larkin and Stephen Goosney are biological brothers, but they were adopted by different families when they were young. They lost touch for almost 30 years. Once they began looking for each other, it didn’t take long to be reunited. Nor did they have to travel far to celebrate. It turns out that they were living across the street from each other in the same small town in Newfoundland. I foresee a metaphorically similar experience in your future, Leo. When you get reconnected to your past, you will find that it has been closer than you realized.

Breaking the Cycle: Preventing Sexual Abuse By Jessica Ahles | Staff Writer
A
n estimated one in four girls and one in six boys are sexually abused before they turn 18, according to child abuse experts. In a statewide study conducted in 2011 by the University of Hawaii’s School of Social Work that examined community children and family conditions , it revealed that “Molokai needed to be worked on” in terms of protecting children from sexual abuse.
“Sexual abuse on this island is rampant. It’s the last big secret. Almost every single family has somebody who has been molested.” said one anonymous Molokai participant in the study. In response, former Molokai police detective Gene Santiago joined with concerned community members in 2012 to create a project that prevents child sexual abuse on Molokai through the Consuelo Foundation, an organization working to prevent child neglect. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) and Child & Family Service later partnered with the Consuelo Foundation to help effect positive family change in the community. Together, they held a community discussion Friday to provide outreach and education about child sexual abuse on Molokai and project initiatives to prevent it. Santiago said their project includes a kupuna group, which instills cultural values into Molokai’s youth, a men’s group that provides outreach and survivor healing, as well as a youth education program. “Men are usually seen on the negative side as the perpetrators but also on the positive side as role models,” said Santiago, who runs the men’s group. “Tonight’s event comes from nine months of meetings because the men wanted to reach out to the community.” The event, held at the Kaunakakai Baptist Church, included a discussion about sexual abuse on the island with a panel of speakers from Maui Police Department, Child & Family Service and Child Welfare Services. “Sexual assault on this island—nobody talks about it,” said Andrea Hernandez, Child & Family Service Office Manager and kupuna group leader. “Slowly...the word is getting around [to protect our children]..but it’s a process.”
said Santiago. “Grooming dynamics,” or the process of a perpetrator getting access to the child, first relies on breaking down defenses and gaining their trust, typically through games and shared interests, according to the National Center of Victims of Crime. If a child feels uncomfortable around an individual, don’t make them spend time with them, even if they’re a family member. “In this community, a lot of [child abuse] starts in the family and in the home itself with an older generation… a brother, or part of their family system,” said attendee Megan Sanford. Santiago agreed. “We want to break the cycle,” he said. “We want to break the silence.” Several behavioral signs a child may display if abused, according to experts are withdrawal or depression; unexplained fear, anger, anxiety or outbursts; behavior that is “too good” and fear or unwillingness to be around an individual, a house or specific room. Physical signs include bruises, scratches, itching around the genitals, signs of STDs, tenderness or soreness and blood in urine or stool.
Educating Keiki To aid with youth education, Kealoha Hooper works with the Consuelo Foundation and gives school presentations called, “My Body is Special,” which teaches children about individual boundaries. “Our culture is a kissing culture, our culture is a hugging culture,” said attendee James Espaniola. “Some touching is good -- it is essential for the growth of our children -- but there’s a difference between good touching and bad touching.” Santiago said part of the issue may also come from a lack parental authority. “A lot of times, we, as parents, want to give our kids freedom but knowing who has access to your children can be prevention as well,” said Santiago. Talking with your children is important to decrease their risk of harm, according to sexual abuse experts. Teaching children about their bodies, what abuse is, what is against the rules for others to do and encouraging keiki to come to you for any reason, good or bad, is a proactive way to prevent abusive situations, states SATC.
Signs of Abuse
On-Island Resources
Attendees learned signs of a child abuse perpetrator, behavior and physical indications of an abused child, and tips on how to educate and better protect children from getting into hazardous situations. According to Hawaii’s Sex Abuse Treatment Center (SATC) statistics, “over 90 percent of juvenile sexual assault victims reported knowing their attacker: 34 percent were family members and 59 percent acquaintances. Only seven percent of the perpetrators were strangers to the victim.” Staying alert for any signs of a perpetrator as well as physical or behavioral signs from a child help minimize risk,
If there are any suspicions of child abuse, parents and guardians are encouraged to act on instinct. “We need to do all we can to protect our children,” said Santiago. “It’s our job to protect them.” Several island resources include Child Welfare Service, Child & Family Service and the Maui County Police Department. For more information on supportive advocacy, clinical therapy and support groups, or if you are currently experiencing or struggling with past sexual assault or abuse, call Molokai’s Child & Family Service Sexual Assault Center at 553-5529 or the 24-hour hotline at 213-5522.

Graduation Schedule Conflicts We, the Class of 2014, are writing to inform all Molokai High School alumni that the plans of your alumni committee to celebrate the alumni luau and the 75th reunion conflicts with our graduation. Traditionally, graduation is held on a Saturday, but according to Mr. Hao, our graduation was moved to Friday, May 23 to accommodate the 75th celebration. About two months ago we found out that the Alumni Luau/Senior Luau was scheduled on the same date as our graduation. So the Alumni Committee is planning two events: the Alumni Luau/Senior Luau on Friday and the 75th Anniversary on Saturday. We are planning a “Project Grad” the night of our graduation. Our parents are planning activities and events for the entire night and while many of us would like to attend the Senior Luau/Alumni Luau, we would rather not have to choose between our
activities and the Committee’s. We asked the committee to change the Alumni Luau/Senior Luau to Sunday or Thursday so we wouldn’t have to share the day, but we were told “no.” We would like your support and are hoping you can persuade the committee to move the date of the Alumni Luau/Senior Luau to a day other than our graduation day. We will be posting petitions throughout town and if you support this change, please sign the petition. We are asking that only Molokai Alumni sign the petition. As a class, we are very excited about our graduation and want it to be really special. We are hoping we won’t have to share our special day and hope you can help us.
Mahalo for your support, The Class of 2014
while. What will happen when these accumulating chemicals re-solute and sink into the land and run off to where? I do support Monsanto’s new practice of letting the weeds grow and “plowing ‘em under” but that still does not exonerate the unnatural, unnecessary, unwanted even monstrous GMO. At this point in time, more than 60 countries have banned GMOs. Somewhere between one in two or one in three people are going to get cancer. Virtually all tumors contain pesticides and chemical fertilizers. A forest needs to be planted up there to suck up the toxic chemicals and heal the land.

Dust Tornadoes I’m sure that most of us have witnessed the numerous tornadoes on the way to the airport sucking up numerous tons of red topsoil blowing and whirling. I and others have witnessed and photographed on a few instances where strong north winds created huge clouds of topsoil that went up to the clouds, blew over the land to Waikane and stopped, depositing all this chemical-laden dirt on the reef. Fishermen can see the bottom in this area of the reef is red. This phenomenon could not occur if the land up there were green. All the well-paid scientists and salesmen cannot tell me that all this flying dirt containing toxic chemicals and GMO debris does not land in the open reservoirs, get into the aquifers , water table and pollute the reef. We have not had a good deluge in a long

October 31 Arrested and Released Shallis, Charles; 50; Kaunakakai; Criminal Trespass II
Did you know that here on the island of Molokai, there is a close-knit family of cats who have a hero? This hero is a 7-year-old boy with a heart of gold. The story began when I moved into an old farm house in the woods two and a half years ago. I discovered an abundance of unloved, unwanted cats of all sizes living on this land. Some were feral, some no longer loved and dumped to fend for themselves, and others whose owners died and left them wondering what happened to their comfortable world. I poured all of my money and love into caring for their every medical and physical need. All of a sudden, food and fresh water became plentiful and affection was just an outstretched hand away. Then the day came when I had to move away and leave my feline family behind. My heart was broken and I trav-
eled to the east end every night to make sure all of my “children” did not go to bed hungry. The cost of gas was draining me financially. One evening I met a 7-year-old boy who lived at the end of the lane. He had already given each cat a new name and came to visit with them every day on his way to school. We struck up a deal. I would bag up each night’s cat food for him and I would check up on him twice a week. I could only afford to pay him a small amount, but for a 7-year-old boy, this was a lot of money for his pocket. I have been told by neighbors that this young man is teaching the other children how to feed and water the cats and how to show them affection. He has become an ambassador of kindness. I am so proud of him, and his name is Angel.

Successful Na Opio Event Everyone loved our Face Off Disco, Halloween Custom contest at Lanikeha on Friday, Oct. 25, and a battle featuring John Keohuloa and Little Mahi, the son of Mahi English, challenging in a music switch off based on music themes. We had over 80 people who attended, with 12 in the costume contest, which was separated into two categories of most original and cutest, as well as five venders. We will be having our Disco every
other month, so the next one will be in December. The theme will be Mask Ball, so all who has a mask (ball style) on will get one dollar off or even bring a can food so we can donate it to the can food drive here on island. If you want to know more, email Fred Aki at fredandsuli@live.com or read the bulletins or signs on the road.

“A Place for Dad”
Aloha my Moloka’i Ohana. Mom and Dad loved Moloka’i. Mom passed last year, but Dad’s still going strong!! Here’s our thought: Perhaps your family that has a property that is not for sale, rent or lease. There is a possibility that could be a Win-Win for both our families.
Your family could have $$$+ in cash to really do something; College tuition, a new car or boat, or an operation not covered by insurance. We would be willing to pay the lease in cash, in advance for 2 to 4 years, with of course the proper protection. Dad’s a perfectionist, and not only would your property be experiencing a minimum of attrition, but anything needing repair or attention would be immediately attended. I’ve been away from my Beloved Island for almost 6 years now, caring

for my Parents. I look forward to sharing creative and innovative possibilities to assure Dad’s remaining years provide a wonderful quality of life. Dad is self-sufficient and I already have my place. I’ll be looking in on him regularly, but will not be living with him. Dad’s happiness is most important: He wants his own place, his “Man Cave.” The necessary requirements for Dad would be a degree of privacy. He would be happy pretty much anywhere East End, but we are not limited to Mana’e. A place in town would be OK, preferably along Kam V, Ma’kai side. Kapa’akea would be perfect as well. Not much is required, and we are not eliminating anywhere on the Island. I will be home mid-November until late December, and we can meet in person: kumimijoe@gmail.com. Phone: 808 336 0866.
