Stones with Stories Archeologist tells Molokai’s history through rocks By Catherine Cluett | Editor-InChief

n the windy, rocky coastline of northwestern Molokai, Dr. Marshall Weisler picked up a stone. But it wasn’t just any rock; this stone, like many in the Molokai Land Trust’s Mokio Preserve, has a story. Weisler is an archeologist and professor at Australia’s University of Queensland. He’s no stranger to Molokai -- he’s been coming here at least once a year for the past 35 years to study the island’s many historic sites and piece together a picture of how ancient Hawaiians lived. To the untrained eye, the rock Weisler held in his hand looks like any other scattered in this arid landscape. But, as he told a group of 30 residents gathered around him for the first public sharing of his work at Mokio last week, this stone was part of a fishing shrine. “Three quarters of all the fishing shrines on the island are [in this area],” said Weisler. “That means… it was a very important area for fishing.” Among the rocks are a variety of shells whose contents were once left as offerings, or ho`okupu. By testing pieces of coral also found there, Weisler used radiocarbon dating to determine that this shrine was used in the 1620s -- and most of the sites in this area can be dated between 1500 and 1800 A.D.

things are made of carbon, and the process of radiocarbon dating looks at ratios of carbon isotopes, which change over time, said Weisler. Advances in technology have allowed researchers to obtain highly precise dates -- some within about six years -- of remains that contain carbon. The shrine is positioned a few feet from the remains of a vaguely visible stone wall -- the side of what used to be a dwelling. “Sacred to the east and secular to the west” was the general rule of thumb for ancient Hawaiians to arrange their home and shrine areas, according to Weisler. These remains along the coastline of Kaluakoi represent what would have been temporary habitation for several days at a time, he said. Along the stone wall is another loosely-arranged grouping of rocks -- an oven. By testing charcoal bits left in these pits, Weisler has been able to identify the native tree species that used to grow in the area, as well as from pollen particles left in the soil. With the deductive reasoning of a crime investigator, the thoroughness of a historian and the environmental familiarity of a biologist, Weisler told the story behind each rock, shell and land formation. “There’s no one to ask that was around back then – so this is our best guess. That’s what archeology is,” he said. “We’re trying to find out what peo-

By Jessica Ahles | Staff Writer he Kalaupapa airport will soon be receiving a long awaited fire truck garage and services. However, with design discrepancies on where to place the garage and a strict timeline, the project might be delayed further, postponing safety services Kalaupapa residents seek. A team of designers and engineers as well as representatives from the state Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) presented a design scheme to Kalaupapa residents Nov. 12, seeking public input and approval to move forward with the project. In 2010, the Kalaupapa airport was scheduled to receive a fire truck and a team of Maui County firefighters who would rotate in 42-hour work shifts, according to Department of Health Kalaupapa Administrator Mark Miller. While the $300,000 fire truck currently sits and is operated daily for maintenance at the topside Ho`olehua airport, it still waits for a suitable garage to protect it from Kalaupapa’s weather conditions.

Initial design plans for the garage were presented to the community six months ago, which depicted the construction to be on the west side of the airport, separate from the terminal. However, because the FAA is funding the project, the agency rejected those plans due to location restrictions. “We need the fire truck to be next to the terminal in order for FAA to provide funding for this project,” said Louis Fung, president of design firm, Fung Associates, during the community meeting. “There are several good points with this [new proposed] location so we want to ask the community to give us comments and support.” The revised plans show the garage adjacent to the east side of the terminal with an open-air lanai extending from the east side of the garage. Plans also include renovating the terminal’s check-in counter, seating area, and bathrooms, as well as the airport’s wheelchair lift shed. Project designers were hoping to get the settlement’s approval at the meeting in

County, Monsanto Sign Agreement By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

aui County and Monsanto signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) last week that requires Monsanto to disclose information about pesticide use on a voluntary basis. Monsanto operates on both Maui and Molokai. “Responsible use of pesticides is a concern for us all, especially for those of us who grew up on these islands when sugar cane and pineapples were our main exports,” said Mayor Arakawa. “There must be safeguards and a sharing of information, and I believe the AG Oversight Agreement [MOU] is a proactive step we needed to take….” The MOU comes shortly after bills were passed on both Kauai and Hawaii Island involving restrictions on the use

County Seeks Input for Home Business Bill By Jessica Ahles | Staff Writer

here are currently 355 registered business owners on Molokai and most of them are home based, according to Jennifer Hawkins, small business specialist at the Kuha’o Business Center. These businesses are regulated by the Maui County Council under a bill currently up for revision. But when the council visited Molokai last week asking for feedback on how to best tailor these standards and encourage small businesses, many Molokai business owners revealed they never knew the ordinance existed. “I feel very unprepared as do most of us [home-based business owners] here to speak on this,” said local business owner Brenda Kaneshiro before the council Wednesday evening. “Most of us here are not even aware of what’s existing.” According to Councilman Don Couch, the bill was introduced two years ago after several cases of angry neighbors reported that home-based businesses were causing disturbances in communities across the county. Now under review and revision, the county ordinance is meant to set standards and restrictions for home businesses in residential, rural and agricultural districts, according to the Maui County website. Currently the ordinance states what kinds of home businesses are appropriate based on zoning codes of the district, how many customers visit the business on a daily basis, and if it would be considered a nuisance to the neighbors. As a newly added definition to the bill, a “nuisance” is considered to be an activity, “which arises from unreasonable, unwarranted, or unlawful use by the property owner, or an owner’s tenant of the owner’s property that may result in a material annoyance, inconvenience, and discomfort to the neighborhood or public.” This includes odor, heat, smoke, vibration and offensive noise. “What this bill really is saying and trying to put into law is, ‘be nice to your neighbors, get them involved beforehand and if they don’t complain, everything will be fine,’” said Couch. “There will be times where things don’t work out right

and [this ordinance] is what we can look at for reference.” The ordinance currently outlines many standards and regulations tailored for Molokai, which, in some cases, defers approval authority to the Molokai Planning Commission for businesses such as commercial hiking, fishing, hunting, and equestrian activities. Molokai was one the last stops of the council’s tour. More than 30 small home business owners were present at the hearing and some expressed frustrations that they weren’t aware of the ordinance until that day. “When I started my business in 2004, I went to the county and…I did everything they told me I was supposed to do,” said Kaneshiro. “Now it seems to me that my own home-based business is not even legal at this moment and I think there are many other people, besides me, that don’t know if they are within the law.” Although Hawkins said she had sent out fliers and published a news release to inform the community of the hearing, Council Chair Gladys Baisa said the county’s communication with Molokai must improve in the future. “When we come for a hearing and we want you to testify, you don’t testify because you don’t know what to testify on,” she said. “It’s very difficult and I understand the problem. It’s very important because we want this law to work for everybody, otherwise what’s the point?” Of those who testified, some suggested a workshop in the near future to help business owners understand the ordinance’s legal jargon. Couch promised he and Crivello would schedule a time with Hawkins to return to the island next month. He would conduct a walk-through of the ordinance and ask the public what policies need to be tailored for Molokai. “Since we are such a diverse community, we can’t do ‘one size fits all’… and I want to make sure that we are trying to help smaller businesses thrive,” said Couch.

airport Continued From pg. 1 order to keep within their timeframe and annual barge schedule to bring in the needed construction materials. “For any projects to happen in Kalaupapa, we have to work with the barge schedule, which only happens once a year in July,” said Fung. Fung said after his firm is able to finalize the design scheme, the DOT and FAA will put the project out to bid, select a contractor and get construction materials on the 2015 barge. “Once the materials are delivered to site in 2015, we believe this project will be completed within 4 to 6 months more or less,” said Fung. “By Dec. 2015, the garage will be completed and the fire truck will be in place and in use. That is our target.” However, the garage plans did not receive full community approval. “If you come here on weekends or during the day, you’ll see our residents picking up their friends and families and waving hello and goodbye, watching them land and take off. That’s their thing,” said National Park Service employee Randall Watanuki, speaking personally. “By putting the garage here, you would be moving everything 20 feet farther away [from the parking lot] and you’re taking that away from them.” Several other locations were proposed in various areas around the airport but were quickly dismissed because of FAA restrictions, inaccessibility to the tarmac, underground sewer lines, or indigenous burial remains. Gordon Wong, FAA airports lead program manager, said he would return

mokio Continued From pg. 1 ing. A kitchen knife is an essential tool in every household today – in fact, you probably have several of different sizes for different uses. That’s how it was with adze a few centuries ago. “Adzes are the most complicated tools to make,” said Weisler. “You could learn the basics of making a poi pounder in a morning… but it took years to learn to make adzes.” The process begins with finding the right rock. “Adze rock is different from imu rocks,” he explained. “You want finegrained rocks that break in a predictable way.” The smooth, hard stone was formed by “the very last breath of a volcano” -- or generally the last stage of eruption, more than 2,000 years ago. Western Molokai has a high incidence of this type of rock. “There are more adze quarries here than the rest of the Hawaiian island chain put together,” said Weisler. While the size of many of the quarries is small, their numbers are impressive, he said. Using a larger grinding stone, an adze would be roughly shaped by hitting it with a roundish “hammer stone” made of courser rock. An adze “blank” or basic starting point before further shaping the rock was ideally a perfect rectangle with right angles, said Weisler. If the shape did not come out as desired, it would be tossed back into the quarry. Today, the adzes found in quarries are all rejects, he explained. At one of the larger quarries at Ka`eo, Weisler pointed to a rounded, fist-sized stone resting upon flat-topped grinding stone. Surrounding it, thin rock chips litter the ground. Here, adze makers would sit giving rough shape to adze blanks, to be completed elsewhere. Imperfect adzes in the area tell a story of failed attempts at making perfected tools. Weisler said there are several tons of rock chippings here. Adzes ranged greatly in size and purpose, used for tasks ranging from fashioning canoes, sharpening house posts or preparing food. Weisler has also tracked social relationships through adzes he’s found throughout the Pacific. Today, we have Facebook and email to foster social interaction. But in ancient Hawaii, relationships were formed and strengthened through trade. Rocks from different areas have distinct chemical signatures, said Weisler. By testing the signatures of rocks found in a variety of quarries, he has been able to trace rocks found in various communities to their origins -- and the results are sometimes amazing. Weisler said using this knowledge, he was able to show that adzes found in Toamoto in the South Pacific were from Kaho`olawe more than 2,000 miles away. “I had chicken skin for two days

to his office and check the project’s funding eligibility criterion. He asked the community where they would prefer the garage to be built if they had the option. “I think the community would prefer a location away from where it’s shown right now because that’s their main gathering area,” said Watanuki. Patient residents attending the meeting, however, did not express an opinion about the project one way or another. Fung Associates designer Gerald Lai expressed his frustrations. “This is a merry-go-round,” he said. “You’re pushing the date for when this project will be complete...because you can’t come to a decision.” Watanuki said he appreciated Lai’s concerns about the project timeline, but that he needs to be understanding to the special circumstances of the Kalaupapa community. “Everything done [in Kalaupapa] should be done with [the patients] in primary focus,” said Watanuki. “I understand we are on a timeline, and under FAA regulations, but we cannot forget the concerns of the patients and community. Of all places in the world, this is the only place that is theirs.” Miller agreed and said he would present the proposed garage location to other patients and contact Fung with their feedback. “While we sound like we all have different ideas of how things should be, we really appreciate you being here, we appreciate all your work, and we cant thank you enough,” Miller said to the project planners. “I just don’t want you to leave here today without knowing that we don’t do this without the largest amount of aloha and our interest for maintaining the legacy of our patients for years to come.”

when I figured out that’s where it was from,” said Weisler, adding he first checked and rechecked his data before believing this discovery. He’s found similar trading between Molokai communities, and adzes from Molokai found on other Hawaiians islands. He has identified the chemical signatures of nearly 15 different quarries on the west end. Weisler said he was the first to use chemical rock signatures to trace adzes. “The more work I do, I connect different places [to discover] human trading relationships…and social connections,” he said. The art of adze making was lost as soon as metal arrived, said Weisler -metal was easier to trade.

Preserving Environment and History While Weisler originally studied archeology of the Kawela area of Molokai, now the majority of his work on the island is in the Mokio area. He said his work is funded largely by the Australian Research Council and the University of Queensland. The Mokio Preserve is a 1,718 acre parcel owned by the Molokai Land Trust, a local organization with the mission of preserving and restoring native plants and animals as well as cultural sites on Molokai. Mokio includes five miles of rugged coastline, native dune ecosystems, seasonal wetland and ancient Hawaiian sites. Weisler has been working with the Land Trust since 2009 to create an inventory of the known archeological sites in Mokio. “There are no written records… only oral and later written testimony,” said Butch Haase, executive director of the Land Trust. “This is the component I’m personally most excited about… Marshall helping us piece this together with some historic accuracy.” Meanwhile, Land Trust staff has been focusing on removal of invasive plants to allow regrowth of native vegetation. Cutting large areas of thick kiawe growth has also helped expose ancient house, quarry and shrine sites. Weisler’s work with carbon dating and ancient native species identification has in turn aided the Land Trust toward getting a better picture of what the landscape used to look like. “Once the environment gets trashed to this point, it’s almost impossible to recover unless you take an active hand,” said Weisler of the extent to which invasive species have taken over the scenery. “Everything you see now didn’t used to be here.” The Land Trust has been encouraging students to visit Mokio to learn about the environmental restoration, and last week for the first time, shared Weisler’s work with a public site visit and evening lecture Saturday. Molokai residents who joined Weisler and Land Trust staff on the tour of three sites will probably never look at rocks the same way.

Labor of Love By Jessica Ahles | Staff Writer

very morning, at six o’clock sharp, Emma Velasco said she hears a rustling outside of her Home Pumehana cottage--“But ah, it’s only Irwin,” she said smiling. Some call him Irwin, others call him “Urban,” but either way, Irwin Millspaugh, is regarded by residents as one of the most devoted residents in Home Pumehana. Every day he quietly pushes his cart, quickly shuffling along the sidewalk, as he plucks rubbish from the ground and sorts recyclables at Home Pumehana. “Let me tell you something about that guy,” said resident Gwendolyn Gaspar. “I’ve watched that man every day and he picks up all the garbage in the park, he sorts through all the trash, I hear he even cleans washers downtown—and he always says good morning to everyone he passes.” Originally from Montreal, Canada, Millspaugh came to Molokai several years ago after living on Oahu. He said he’s always had a habit of cleaning his pathway but considers rubbish picking a hobby rather than chore. “I always enjoyed working for a living,” said Millspaugh. “I’m 85 years old and I know I’m not getting any younger, but I put my heart into this.” Today, he puts his heart into making Home Pumehana and Kaunakakai a cleaner place.. “He even used to dive into the dumpster if he saw stuff in there that was supposed to be separated!” said resident Linda Liddell.

One day, a resident got stuck in her wheelchair after her wheels became tangled in some vines, said Gaspar. When he saw her struggling, he went over and pulled her out. “If the kupuna bring their [shopping carts] from the grocery store, he’ll take [the carts] all the way back to the store for them,” she added. In his spare time, Millspaugh said he enjoys watching TV, dancing and even learning foreign languages. Over the few years Millspaugh has lived on Molokai, he has become a loved and cherished member in the Home Pumehana community. “I want to cry because I haven’t seen a guy more precious that does so much for this place,” Gaspar said, misty-eyed. “He’s such a wonderful man and I wish there were more people just like him.”

Lifetime Education Achievement Award Aka`ula News Release Dr. Caryl Hitchcock is one of Molokai’s best-kept secrets. Caryl is an Assistant Professor of Disability Studies and Associate Graduate Faculty in the field of Special Education at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. She is an educational researcher who specializes in programs to promote literacy for children who are ELL (English Language Learners), at-risk or have identified disabilities. She has more than 15 years of experience working with the Hawaii State Department of Education as a consultant and school psychologist, and she developed the Molokai ACE Reading program that serves culturally and linguistically diverse children. She has published articles and has presented at numerous national and international conferences. She and her colleagues received the Hawaii Educational Research Association’s distinguished paper award in 2002 and 2009. In all the time we’ve known Caryl, she has enthusiastically worked either di-

rectly or indirectly with improving how children learn skills through research based approaches. To put it succinctly, Caryl has the mind and heart of a teacher. She is always thinking of students and what will work best for them. Caryl believes in sharing the limelight and took two Aka`ula students to the PAC Rim Conference two years ago to present the environmental research they wrote using her TeenACE writing process. If you haven’t met Caryl yet, here are some little known facts to use as conversation starters. Before becoming a formal teacher, she was a windsurfing instructor in Greece and Turkey. She ran a Farming and Animal Food Business in the UK. She worked as a Clinical Psychologist for the British National Health Service. She was a Playboy Bunny and then Personnel Manager of all UK Clubs. Her husband, John, was a rally car driver, racing Austin Healy Sprites. This is just a brief glimpse into Caryl’s diverse and remarkable life. At Aka`ula School’s annual Ku Ka Lau Lama, we honored Dr. Caryl Hitchcock with our Lifetime Education Achievement Award.

Alternative to Surgery Coming to Molokai By Lisa Davis Holistic regenerative medical procedures that cure pain in the spine and joints will soon be coming to Molokai through Sheila Mohammed, MD, PhD and Lisa Davis. The treatments rebuild cartilage, tendons and ligaments to cure the source of the pain and pain goes away naturally and permanently. Dr. Mohammed is skilled in Prolotherapy, Prolozone, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Stem Cell Treatments, Acupuncture, Anti-TNF (post-stroke, Alzheimer’s dementia) and Biophotonic treatments. We do musculoskeletal ultra-sound guided procedures. Prolotherapy is the only known curative treatment for arthritis. Prolotherapy is performed by using dextrose to stimulate fibroblasts in the body to move to an area of inflammation and repair damaged tissues. Prolozone uses a mixture of homeopathic solutions and ozone to oxygenate joints and other tissues to take away pain and to rebuild cartilage and ligaments. PRP is performed by withdrawing blood for the patient and processing it in a Harvest machine to extract the platelets, stem cells, and growth factors. This extract is then injected back into the joints and spine to stimulate repair of tissues. Biophotonic treatment involves the use of ultra-violet light and ozone to treat chronic fatigue, lyme disease, viral infections, fibromyalgia and others. Anti-TNF treatments improve cognition and function in stroke and dementia. Dr. Mohammed is from the Carib-

bean islands and has travelled extensively and lived and trained in medicine in three continents. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the City University of New York and won two medallions for academic excellence. She graduated with honors from medical school and finished her residency training at the University of South Florida in Tampa. During residency training she obtained her Master of Science degree in Public Health (Magna Cum Laude) and later obtained her Doctorate (PhD) in Public Health (Magna Cum Laude) with a concentration in Toxicology and Risk Assessment. She is now the Medical Director of the Industrial Medicine Institute and works as an Occupational Medicine Specialist with a focus on treating workrelated pain to get injured workers back on the job. Her search for cures for pain led her to thinking outside the box and to regenerative therapies. She also does consulting work for various co-operations as an expert witness, file reviewer and an independent medical examiner. Dr. Mohammed will be at the Molokai Acupuncture and Massage (Michi Jones Clinic above the American Savings Bank) from Dec. 22 through Jan. 4, 2014. The clinic is located at 40 Ala Malama Avenue, Suite 206 in Kaunakakai. Please call Lisa Davis at 808-658-0787 for more information, or to schedule an appointment. You may also call the acupuncture clinic at 553-3930. Please visit our website at industrialmedicineinstitute.com.

10th Annual Ku Ka Lau Lama By Kalehiwa Dudoit | Akaùla student After all the wind and the rain, the skies cleared and the moon came out as Akaùla School’s 10th Annual Ku Ka Lau Lama began. For those who don’t know, Ku Ka Lau Lama is found in “Oleleo Noeau,” by Kawena Pukui and she translates it as, “Many Torches Stand.” That means that there are many lighted bonfires, a signal of joy and victory. The dinner event is one of the ways the school raises money to provide financial aid to students. Led by chairperson Kaui Manera, Akaùla families organized an incredible evening. Walking onto the Hotel Molokai grounds, the smell of food coming from Aunty Marion Dudoit’s Hawaiian pupu buffet drew guests to the registration table where they were serenaded by nahenahe music from The Kupuna Serenaders while waiting to receive their bid numbers. The many tables loaded with silent auction items lured guests further down the path towards the dining room. Walking past the auction, guests arrived at their dinner tables, beautifully organized and decorated by Hoala Davis and Noelani Helm. Kaui Manera, her grandson, Jalen, and his classmate, Kaliloa, were the evening’s MCs. Akaùla students opened the evening’s festivities with oli and mele. They also served the guests, all the while being well mannered and courteous. Akaùla supporters, friends, and families enjoyed

Qwynci, Kamaka, Kaulupa and Skylar help hotel staff with service. a roast beef dinner followed by dessert especially prepared by Thyra Negrillo Dudoit. One of the highlights of the evening was the announcement of the winner of the Lifetime Education Achievement Award. This year’s deserving winner, Caryl Hitchcock, was recognized for her work with the Department of Education and the University of Hawaii. Two of Molokai’s finest musical groups, Only on Fridays, and Raymond and Patrick Hiro with Hanalei Lindo and the Hula Maidens provided the evening’s entertainment. To the side of the stage, there was a bountiful table of fruit and vegetables donated by parents of Aka`ula, for guests to take home as a mahalo to the community. All in all, the night was fantastic and everyone, including students and staff, had a marvelous time.

Year of Faith in Kalaupapa

Hot Hawaiian Chile Peppers

By Father Pat Killilea | St. Francis Church, Kalaupapa

By Glenn I. Teves | UH County Extension Agent

When I first learned that Pope Benedict had called us to a special Year of Faith, my initial thought was, “What is this? Aren’t we called to live the Faith every year?” Perhaps it is the son of a farmer in me that tells me that a farmer’s work is every day of every week of every year. So every year for the Christian Catholic should be a Year of Faith. Then of course it dawned on me that Pope Benedict intended that this Year of Faith is meant to renew the entire People of God in the Faith and to challenge us “ to share our Faith boldly with others,” as our own Bishop Larry Silva said in his letter to us at the beginning of this Year of Faith. Here in St Francis in Kalaupapa, the Hansen’s Disease settlement where Father Damien and Mother Marianne ministered and died, our year has been a year of ongoing renewal but not in

any earth shaking fashion. Our patients who come to our 5.45 a.m. Mass did so with great devotion, then dedicated their days to their work responsibilities here in the settlement. We welcome the many pilgrims who come here every day except Sundays and they in turn help to strengthen us in our faith by their presence. For the most part we do not get to participate in the many opportunities and activities offered by the Diocese of Honolulu due to our part isolation here in this island peninsula, but we do join in its spirit. As you can guess, our life is much different here in Kalaupapa but we do not separate ourselves from the world outside. Those who live the Faith here live the Faith profoundly and try to joyfully share it with those who are blessed to visit here as well as those who work here and who dedicate their lives to the care and the service of the patients in this special land of Saints Damien and Marianne.

For many local folks, chile pepper water is an indispensable addition to a meal, and can add pizazz to meat, fish, and soup dishes. There are many variations of this condiment combining water, shoyu, different kinds of vinegar, and even garlic with lots of chiles. Columbus misnamed chiles as peppers, mistaking them for black peppers due to their “heat.” The name “peppers” or “chile peppers” stuck with this plant, and is commonly used today. Capsicum fruitescens is the Latin name for Hawaiian chiles, introduced to Hawaii around 1815. It was called “nioi” by the Hawaiians, a generic name given to all chiles with second names based on its shape such as nioi kamakahala for round or “eye shaped” types. Some were even used in lei, and also concocted into salves or creams to treat arthritis. Hawaiian chiles are considered “hot” by any scale. The heat or capsaicin content in chile is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU), with Hawaiian chiles hitting the scales at 50,000 to 70,000 SHU. Contrast this with the hottest chile, Bhut Jolokia from India at 1,000,000 SHU, and Habanero types at 250,000 SHU. But it’s not just about heat; it’s also about sweetness and flavor, and this is where the Hawaiian chile tops the scale. Plants can attain heights of four feet or more, bear fruit for several years, and can also be pruned back and allowed to flush again. Diseases and insects can affect them, but the key is to “know when to

hold them and know when to fold them.” As the plants age, they weaken and harden, becoming more susceptible to diseases and insects. At this point, it’s better to start new seedlings. Major diseases include powdery mildew fungus where a whitish powder on leaves will cause premature leaf drop. Viruses will also affect plants, such as Tobacco Mosaic Virus and Potato Virus Y, which create a mottled look to the leaves and weaken them. Insects include pepper weevils, which lay eggs in the flower and cause premature fruit drop. Sanitation is the key; pick up all dropped fruit and dispose of them. Broad mites will deform newer leaves, but can be controlled with a sulfur spray. Plant hoppers, clusters of little insects with spines on them, will congregate on stems and usually attack weak older plants by sucking on plant juices. The mature stage of these plant hoppers are green with pointed heads. The use of Neem, an organic insecticide can control them. In order to keep one step ahead of pests and diseases, move plants around the yard and don’t plant in the same area. Keep plants actively growing starting with 10-30-10 or comparable fertilizer at planting. Light doses of a balanced fertilizer (1:1:1 ratio) will keep them actively growing until they flower and fruit. Chiles will be hottest when the weather is hot and when plants are under water stress, such as in Kaunakakai. Conversely, those growing in cool wet areas will not be as hot. You can create vintage chile pepper water since, if properly made, it can last for years if you don’t drink it up sooner.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here’s the bad news: For all of us, including you, there is a gap between our intentions and our actual effects. Here’s the good news: Now is your special time to narrow that gap. More bad news: All of us, you included, are periodically guilty of sending out mixed messages. We confuse people with our ambivalence; what we say is sometimes different from what we feel. More good news: Now is your special time to reduce your mixed messages to as close to zero as possible. One more taste of bad news: Like all of us, you are a bit hypocritical. You engage in behavior that you criticize in others. You don’t practice what you preach. One last piece of good news: Now is your special time to work on being forthright, genuine, and consistent.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Thinking inside the box will be a crime against your nature in the coming weeks. The last place you want to be is in a pigeonhole. I advise you to stay far away from tight squeezes, claustrophobic “sanctuaries,” and “convenient” confinements. If you’re in a one-size-fitsall situation, you simply won’t be able to access your highest intelligence. So then where should you be? I am rooting for you to wander into the wild frontiers where unsanctioned wonders and marvels await you. I’d love for you to find virgin terrain and uncharted territories where the boring old rules SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I am very fond of strawberdon’t apply. ries and cream,” said author Dale Carnegie, “but I have found that for some strange reason, fish prefer worms.

He tended to ignore critics much of something for someone,” she says, “too big, too because he didn’t think they understood his art well enough loud, too soft, too edgy.” But that’s exactly as it should be, to produce intelligent critiques. There was one person whose she adds. It would be a mistake to “round out your edges,” opinion he was willing to heed, though; a single colleague because then you would “lose your edge.” And I’m here to tell who he said had earned to right to evaluate and assess his you that you need all of your edge right now, Sagittarius. It’s art: Pablo Picasso. I encourage you, Gemini, to come up with time to ignore people’s mediocre expectations and push past your own short list of people whose judgment you totally their limits.

Discovering the Ocean’s Bounties By Diane Abraham | 5th Grade Teacher, Kualapuu School The fifth grade students in Ms. Abraham’s class at Kualapuu School extend a very warm and sincere mahalo to Cameron Hiro, his staff, and Hawaii Kai Corporation for the generous donation of an evaporation bed. We are excited to discover the bounties of the ocean waters surrounding Molokai, and this donation is already playing an important role in our scientific investigations. The students are studying the process of evaporation, using ocean water, sunlight and outdoor temperatures. They are keeping track of hours of full sunlight (last week’s rain, so needed and welcomed, put a damper on the solar component!), hours of partial sunlight, outdoor temperatures, and the change in seasons as the calendar moves into the shorter daylight months. Hypotheses have been made, and as the ocean water partially and then fully evaporates, students will be graphing the rate of evaporation. This truly puts the scientific process into a real-world experience for which we are most grateful. The evaporation bed contains

three pans, and within just the first day of the bed’s arrival at Kualapuu School, Pan #1 was filled with ocean water from Puko`o. Within the next few days, Pan #2 was filled with water from Sandy Beach. Each day before class and during breaks, you can see curious minds peering into the bed to see if there has been any visible progress in the farming of the salt. Again, many thanks to Cameron Hiro and Hawaii Kai Corporation here on Molokai. Don’t worry, there’s no competition with your incredible salt farm on our island and your first-rate products (Soul of the Sea and Palm Island Salts), just some hands-on learning by eager fifth graders!

Pot and Plant Sale MAC News Release The Molokai Arts Center (MAC) will be having an Open House and Pot and Plant sale at the Arts Center located in Kualapu`u, behind Coffees of Hawaii, on Saturday, Dec. 7 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. After nearly two years in this location, the artists are all excited to share their space and talents with the island. Everyone has been busy creating planters for the sale which is a fundraiser for the Center. There are pots of all sizes, some with plants, and some without. In addition, other items will be offered for sale including bird baths, ceramic plant tags, ornaments, garden

luminaries, bird houses and even gift memberships for that hard-to-buy-for person on your Christmas list. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to support our local economy and get your holiday shopping done early. Speaking of early, you should make a point to get there early for the best selection. All items are handmade at the center and are one-of-a-kind pieces of art. If you missed the Second Annual Member Art Show at the library, you will be able to see it on display at the Arts Center along with taking a tour of the facility. Molokai Arts Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. For more information call Kathy Tachibana at 646-0664.

‘Tonbo’s Amazing Adventure’ Yamashita Ohana News Release Grateful for, awed and encouraged by Molokai’s tremendous response to her first children’s picture book, Marie Yamashita has published a second children’s book, “Tonbo’s Amazing Adventure.” Tonbo, the little airplane at the Honolulu International Airport, sees huge jets thunder and roar off to faraway places in the world and wishes that he, too, could be a big jet like them. He gets his wish and goes off in search of a place no one has seen or heard of. Amazing adventures follow. He lands in a magical place and is befriended by “wishers” like himself. A time comes when he longs to return home. Alas! That is not possible. Tonbo laments all that he has lost -- but also how lucky he is. It is a magical story for those who believe in miracles as children do. Whimsical, colorful illustrations by Matt Yamashita, the author’s grandson, enlivens this fanciful tale. It’s an ohana production, as was the last book, “The Woodcarver’s Clock,” which included grandson Todd’s art.

Sage, the author’s great grandchild, read the story to her third grade class and said that all the children liked the book. What better endorsement can one expect from the target audience of this book? The author also hopes that others in our community will be encouraged to try their hand at writing. “Tonbo’s Amazing Adventure” is now available at Kalele Book Store, Molokai Drugs and The General Store.
