awaiian Airlines plans to begin service to Molokai and Lanai this year, and the certification process to launch its new subsidiary, Ohana by Hawaiian, has resumed. After 2013 budget sequestration caused delays in certification through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Hawaiian officials say things are back on track.

In the fall of 2012, Hawaiian Airlines announced its plans to add Molokai and Lanai to their itinerary, anticipated to begin in 2013. The start date was pushed back several times, and there is still no estimated timeframe.

Alison Croyle, director of external communications, confirmed that the airlines is in the third of four phases in the certification process.

Phase three involves performance assessment, during which the FAA “observes and monitors many types of applicant activities to confirm that… operating systems produce the intended results,” according to the FAA. The next and final phase of the application process involves the FAA issuing an air carrier or operating certificate and operations specifications after all requirements have been completed.

Neither Hawaiian nor the FAA can say at this time how long the remainder of the process will take.

Allen Kenitzer, manager of communications for the FAA Northwest Mountain & Alaska Regions said the airlines “are the ones driving the timeline.”

ith an undefeated Maui interscholastic League (MIL)Division II record this season, the Lady Farmers took to their home court last weekend, looking to add another win under their belts against Hana. Today, they sit at a record of 8-0 after their final scores of 4611 Friday night and 37-22 on Saturday.

“They are the only [Division II] team in the MILs [this year] with that record,” said Hoku Haliniak, Molokai High School (MHS) Athletic Director.

Girls basketball coach Lee DeRouin said Molokai has a history of strong athletes and a good basketball program and praised the team’s defensive skill—getting turnovers, transition points and easy baskets.

“We’ve just got to continue working hard on the court,” said DeRouin.

“We’ve been having trouble in the half court offense, so I’m looking to work on that with them in upcoming practices.”

Consistent top scorers so far this season have been junior Lehiwa Pedro and sophomore Hepuakea Falealii, earning their team 10 points respectively Friday night.

“Lehiwa and Hepua are getting the rewards of our strong defense,” said DeRouin. “It’s a total team ef-

Why I fly with Makani Kai… Molokai resident Miller Maioho says he likes flying with Makani Kai because, “It’s a real comfortable feeling, you know, ‘olu’olu? Like the old Air Molokai, Makani Kai has that personal service, no getting X-rayed or sticking your arms up in the air. It’s like what the airlines used to be.”

Keeping the Lead

MHS girls paddle first in MIL race

By Jessica Ahles | Staff Writer

T

he Molokai girls varsity paddlers took their first Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) victory of the season last month. The crew -- Kelsie Tanabe-Espiritu, Heather Place, Oli’i Hernandez, Waipuna Paleka, Chelsea Pua’a and Hi’ilani Kanuha -- crossed the half-mile finish line at 4 minutes, 44.25 seconds. King Kekaulike placed a close second at 4:45.79 and Seabury third at 4:50.38.

“We’re standing a hair ahead everyone [in the league],” said coach Tania Kaholoa`a. “These girls have been together for a few years…now is their time.”

Molokai placed second in their first race of the season earlier in December at Ka Lae Pohaku. Finishing six seconds behind Seabury—almost a boat’s length of time, according to Kaholoa`a. She said she noticed the girls were paddling hard but not smooth, causing the canoe to nod in the water.

“They get so excited as the flag

goes down, they just start to throw their bodies forward, slam their paddles forward and pull with all their might,” said Kaholoa`a. “We took away all the bouncing movement and focused more on the twist of the body than throwing it forward.”

Kaholoa`a said since Molokai has shown what they can do in competition, now they need to continue working hard in and out of the water to protect their standing.

“We haven’t stopped practicing because once you win…[other teams] watch everything you do,” she said. “We cannot let our guard down and we need to try to stay up there.”

The Farmers will compete in three more MIL races with the top three teams moving on to state championships. The next race will take place this weekend, once again at Kahului Harbor.

“If we come in first or second in the next race, we’re guaranteed to go to states,” said Kaholoa`a. “But we just want to strive for a good record.”

Boys Basketball: Molokai vs. Seabury

olokai High School boys basketball opened their season last Friday night against Seabury. The Barn shook as the crowd roared and stamped with excitement during their first game of two last weekend.

The Farmers came close to take to take the lead, however Seabury pulled ahead at the final buzzer with a score of 59 to 51. High scorers of the night were sophomore Jordan Boswell making 8

points and senior David Rapanot sinking 23.

“We did well, but there are a lot of things we need to improve on… [like] passing,” said Molokai coach Carl Adolpho Jr. after the game.

Play continued Saturday, with Seabury taking the victory 47-30. The Farmers’ next game is scheduled Friday and Saturday, Jan. 10 and 11, on Lanai.

Friday’s game will begin at 7 p.m. and play will continue Saturday at noon.

Hemp with lime is a non-toxic and energy-efficient building matertial; it is also resistant to mildew, fire and pests.

The drawback – industrial hemp is currently illegal to farm in the United States.

However, industrial hemp, a non-psychoactive plant, is grown in 31 other countries. It can also be used to make thousands of sustainable products, and it offers many solutions for global warming, nutrition, and deforestation.

Last weekend’s game was also the girls’ senior night, as the remainder of the season will be played off island.

“We’re really close, we’re all like a family” said senior Taylor Keliihoomalu, sharing her favorite part of the season so far.

When asked what she will miss most about Farmer basketball after the season, she said, “the girls.”

Over the next few weeks, the Molokai girls are scheduled for a second match up with Seabury as well as

Lanai, and the MIL Championships are just around the corner on Jan. 23-25. But DeRouin said his team need not get too comfortable with their game.

“Seabury is a very good team and we can’t take our record for granted,” he said. “Everything depends on the MIL championship.”

DeRouin said so far this season, he’s enjoyed working with the girls and they are constantly growing as athletes. He said if they continue to work hard on the court, he’s confident they should be able to make it to the state championships.

“We thank the support of the Molokai community through this stretch of home games,” said DeRouin. “Now all of our games are on the road and it’s difficult to win on the road but our mindset is to win the MIL champ and we’re going to work hard to get there.”

“We look forward to connecting Molokai residents with convenient daily service to Honolulu,” said Croyle.

3-Yr Entrepreneurial Development Project ONABEN News Release

Hemp, Health Houses and a Greener Future The MOM hui and Sust`ainable Molokai News Release

The Molokai Dispatch • Jan 8, 2014 •

The Kuha’o Business Center and ONABEN - Our Native American Business Network, will partner for the next three years to provide entrepreneurial training to the island of Molokai. Trainings are made possible by a grant provided by the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) and allows the local Office of Economic Development to partner with the Portland-based, national nonprofit to work with area citizens on business development initiatives three times per year.

An orientation to the project will be held on Friday, Jan. 10, from 4 to 8 p.m., at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) Conference Room at Kulana Oiwi in Building D, across from Coconut Grove.

“We are so excited to partner with the Kuha’o Business Center and to provide these services to the local business community,” said Veronica Hix, Executive Director of ONABEN. “The orientation to the project is our way of including local entrepreneurs and small business owners in the planning process of our work here.

The orientation will act as the platform from which our technical assistance program will be built around.”

According to Hix, business development workshops will focus on the unique needs of the Molokai business community.

The three-year program will address business development issues identified in the orientation. There is no cost to take part in the training program and all interested entrepreneurs are welcome.

“The Kuha’o Business Center has seen first-hand the capacity and skill of ONABEN to administer a project like this in partnership with our community,” said Jennifer Hawkins, Small Business Specialist at the Kuha’o Business Center. “In 2013, participants in the Indianpreneurship training offered by ONABEN here on island were excited and refreshed with the positive experience offered by Veronica and her team. These workshops are motivational, high energy, and hands-on to inspire creativity and success.”

If you are interested in attending or more information, contact Hawkins at 808-553-8100.

Bonus Benefits of Exercise

By Jon Mikami, RPh, and Kelly Go, RPh | Molokai Drugs You’ve been hearing about the benefits of exercise for a long time: Weight control, chronic disease management, stronger muscles and bones, to name a few. But the list of exercise benefits just keeps getting longer. If you could package these benefits in a pill, you might have a multi-million dollar product!

Maybe these less-touted benefits will offer the motivation you need to make exercise a regular part of your daily routine.

1. Improve your immune system. Seem like you catch every bug in the book? Maybe exercise can help. Researchers are finding that as little as 30 to 45-minute brisk walks five times a week can greatly boost your immune system. It does this by increasing the levels of natural killer cells that fight off infections such as colds or the flu.

2. Influence aging. Early research indicates that exercise may partly reverse the aging process caused by stress. How do we know this? Shorter telomeres are a sign of aging, and researchers have found that exercise lengthens them. Telomere is a fancy name for the strands of DNA at the tips of chromosomes.

3. Enhance your mood. Exercise can improve self-confidence, distract you from negative thoughts and help you feel fitter. Increasing body temperature may have a calming effect. Exercise also releases brain chemicals that may relieve tension and ease depression and anxiety.

Some studies have even shown that exercise may be as effective as an antidepressant.

4. Boost your brain. Exercise increases growth factors in the brain, which help the brain make new brain cells and new connections between them. This may enhance memory, attention, and concentration, helping with learning.

Some studies have even begun to show a link between exercise and grades on math and reading tests. But the benefits aren’t limited to kids in school. Exercise may also greatly reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, a form of dementia.

5. Sleep better. A recent poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation uncovered some interesting connections to exercise. Those who exercised—no matter what time of day—reported better sleep than those who didn’t, even when they slept the same length of time.

Sedentary people were also about twice as likely to be sleepy during the day and were more likely to have sleep apnea, a disorder that interrupts breathing while you’re asleep.

So how much exercise do you need to reap benefits like these? Experts recommend getting at least two hours and 30 minutes each week of moderately intense aerobic activity or one hour and 15 minutes weekly of vigorous aerobic exercise. It’s best to combine this with muscle strengthening two times a week.

Remember, short stretches of physical activity throughout the day can bring many of the same advantages as a structured Na Pu’uwai gym workout.

How easy is it to walk down Kaunakakai Wharf and back? Or, do you have time to do a few sit-ups and pushups during commercials of Hawaii News Now or your favorite sitcom? Maybe parking your car at the other end of Kaunakakai while you do your post office errands? A few minutes each day of exercise add up and will give you healthy Molokai living.

From all of us at Molokai Drugs, have a healthy and productive 2014. As always, we are here to help. Please see any of our pharmacy staff or call us at 553-5790.

Gift of Dictionaries

By Alison Place Rotary Clubs and other civic groups throughout the nation donate the funds to provide dictionaries to third graders in their respective cities. Aptly called The Dictionary Project, the goal of the program is to assist all students in becoming good writers, active readers, creative thinkers, and resourceful learners by providing them with their own personal dictionary, according to the project’s website.

More than 130 Molokai third graders were the recipients of this gift from the Kihei Rotary Club. On Dec. 19, Stuart Karlan, President of the Kihei Rotary Club, caught the morning Molokai Ferry from Lahaina to Molokai and personally distributed dictionaries to the students at Kaunakakai, Kilohana, Kualapu`u and Maunaloa.

Karlan was enchanted by the students at each school. Shortly after passing out each dictionary, he encouraged each student to write their name in the space under the statement, “This dictionary belongs to…” ensuring they understood the dictionary was theirs to keep.

“The dictionaries are a gift to each student to use at school and at home for years to come,” states The Dictionary Project website. “Educators see third grade as the dividing line between learning to read and reading to learn, so we en-

courage our sponsors to give dictionaries each year to children in the third grade.”

The students were excited about receiving these early Christmas presents.

Most of them were unaware that the dictionaries provided more than spelling and definitions. Karlan “walked” them through the dictionaries, showing them where they could find interesting facts like the longest word in the English language (1,909 letters!).

Some students were intrigued by the Braille and the American Manual Alphabet (sign language) alphabets. Others were surprised to see that the dictionaries contained biographies of all 44 presidents, information about all 50 states, and the solar system, the U.S. Constitution, and maps of the world.

“We can do our homework with this!” cried RJ Kaili-Kalua from Mr. O’Brien’s class at Kaunakakai School.

Reina Cabanting patted her dictionary and said softly, “This is cool.”

Will

When he was 12 years old, he locked himself in his room for days and immersed himself in mathematical investigations.

When he emerged, he had figured out on his own some of Euclid’s fundamental theorems about geometry. Eventually, he became a noted mathematician. I see the coming weeks as prime time to do something like the young Pascal did: Seal ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can blame it on the com- yourself away from other people’s opinions about who you’re ing full moon. You can blame it on the gorgeous storm or supposed to be, and explore the themes that will be crucial the epic dream or the haunting song or the suffering you’re for the person you are becoming. struggling to vanquish. All I ask is that you don’t blame it on the alcohol. OK? If you’re going to do wild and brave and un- SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In 1609, Dutch sea explorer expected things, make sure they are rooted in your vigorous Henry Hudson sailed to America and came upon what we response to primal rhythms, not in a drunken surrender to now call Coney Island. Back then it was a barren spit of sand weakness or ignorance. I’m all for you losing your oppressive whose main inhabitants were rabbits. But it was eventually turned into a dazzling resort -- an “extravagant playground,” self-control, but not the healthy kind of self-control. according to the documentary film Coney Island. By the TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When is the last time you early 20th century, there were three sprawling amusement did an experiment? I’m not talking about scientific tests and parks packed into its two square miles of land, plus “a forest trials that take place in a laboratory. I’m referring to real-life of glittering electric towers, historical displays, freak shows, a experiments, like when you try out an unfamiliar experience simulated trip to the moon, the largest herd of elephants in to see if it appeals to you . . . or when you instigate a change the world, and panoramas showing the Creation, the End of in your routine to attract unpredictable blessings into your the World, and Hell.” I mention this, Scorpio, because 2014 sphere. Now would be an excellent time to expose yourself could feature your very own Henry Hudson moment: a time to a few what-ifs like that. You’re overdue to have your eyes when you will discover virgin territory that will ultimately become an extravagant playground. opened, your limits stretched, and your mind blown.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): To help take the edge off the darkness you have been wrestling with, I offer you these lines from a poem by Kay Ryan: “The day misspent, / the love misplaced, / has inside it / the seed of redemption. / Nothing is exempt / from resurrection.” In other words, Gemini, whatever has disappeared from your life will probably return later in a new form. The wrong turns you made may lead you to a fresh possibility. Is that what you want? Or would you prefer that the lost things stay lost, the dead things stay dead?

Make a decision soon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “If men had wings and bore black feathers, few of them would be clever enough to be crows,” said 19th-century social reformer Henry Ward Beecher. That might be an accurate assessment for most people, but I don’t think it will be true for you Sagittarians in the foreseeable future. Your animal intelligence will be working even better than usual. Your instinctual inclinations are likely to serve as reliable guides to wise action. Trust what your body tells you! You will definitely be clever enough to be a crow.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Human beings are often unable to receive because we do not know what to ask for,” says the writer Malidoma Somé in his book Water and Spirit.

“We are sometimes unable to get what we need because we do not know what we want.” With that in mind, Cancerian, hear my two pleas: first, that in the next six weeks, you will work diligently to identify the goodies you want most; and second, that you will cultivate your capacity to receive the goodies you want most by refining your skill at asking for them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Can you guess what combination of colors makes the most vivid visual impact?

Psychologists say it’s black on yellow. Together they arrest the eye. They command attention. They activate a readiness to respond. According to my reading of the astrological omens, this is the effect you can and should have in the coming weeks. It’s time for you to draw the best kind of attention to yourself. You have a right and a duty to galvanize people with the power of your presence. Whether you actually wear yellow clothes with black highlights is optional as long as you cultivate a similar potency.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Julia Morgan (1872-1957) was the first woman licensed as an architect in California. She designed over 700 buildings in the course of her brilliant career, and thrived both financially and artistically. One key to her success was her humility. “Don’t ever turn down a job because it’s beneath you,” she advised. That’s a helpful message for you to hear, Leo. It applies to the work-related opportunities you may be invited to take on, as well as the tasks that your friends, associates, and loved ones ask you to consider. You can’t possibly know ahead of time how important it might ultimately be to apply yourself conscientiously to a seemingly small assignment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): One of Beethoven’s music teachers said, “As a composer, he is hopeless.”When Thomas Edison was a kid, a teacher told him he was “too stupid to learn anything.” Walt Disney worked at a newspaper when he was young, but his editor fired him because “he lacked imagination and had no good ideas.” I’m sure there was a person like that in your past -- someone who disparaged and discouraged you. But I’m happy to report that 2014 will be the best year ever for neutralizing and overcoming that naysayer’s curse. If you have not yet launched your holy crusade, begin now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As a child, French philosopher and writer Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) loved math. But his father, who homeschooled him, forced him to forego math and concentrate on studying the humanities. Blaise rebelled.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’m guessing that in a metaphorical sense, you’ve been swallowed by a whale.

Now you’re biding your time in the beast’s belly. Here’s my prediction: You will be like the Biblical Jonah, who underwent a more literal version of your experience. The whale eventually expelled him, allowing him to return to his life safe and sound -- and your story will have the same outcome. What should you do in the meantime? Here’s the advice that Dan Albergotti gives in his poem “Things to Do in the Belly of the Whale.”“Count the ribs,” he says. “Look up for blue sky through the spout. Make small fires with the broken hulls of fishing boats. Practice smoke signals. Call old friends.

Organize your calendar. Dream of the beach. Review each of your life’s ten million choices. Find the evidence of those before you. Listen for the sound of your heart. Be thankful that you are here, swallowed with all hope, where you can rest and wait.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): How do you like your tests?

Short, intense, and dramatic? Or leisurely, drawn-out, and low-pressure? Here’s another question: Do you prefer to pick out the tests you take, making sure they’re good fits for the precise lessons you want to master? Or do you find it more exciting and adventurous to let fate determine what unpredictable tests get sent your way? Ruminate about these matters, Pisces. You’re due for a nice big test sometime soon, and it’s in your interest to help shape and define how everything unfolds.

Holidays in Kalaupapa

By Father Pat Killilea | St Francis, Kalaupapa

I heard the voices approaching. So I got to my feet and went to the front door.

They were coming through the entrances onto the church lawn wearing strange red head gear and armed with torches.

My heart began to race. Oh my Lord, they were coming to take me away. My goose was cooked and Christmas had not even arrived yet. I had to face the music.

Then... they broke into song: “Away in a manger, no crib for a bed…”

They had indeed come to take me away, as they began the annual community carol singing evening. So I grabbed my red shirt and joined the merry band.

As is the tradition here in Kalaupapa, we visited the homes of our patient residents and turned our vocal cords loose to serenade them with Christmas music.

Here at St. Francis, we celebrated our first Christmas Mass at 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve. The church had been transformed spectacularly the previous weekend by our devoted members aided by some kindly visitors. Our visiting choir from St John Vianney in Kailua filled the church with heavenly hymns as we celebrated the birth of Christ the Savior. After Mass our faithful friends from St John Vianney treated us to a fabulous dinner in Damien Hall.

The celebration continued through

New Year’s Eve, when the one and only Edwin Lelepali always puts on a great meal here in the shadow of those great, green-clad pali. We gathered as a community at McVeigh Hall to celebrate our life together in 2013 and to look with hope to the new year ahead. Lelepali did not disappoint us. He and Kahu Richard Matsushita with Mrs. Matsushita put on a splendid meal... and I made sure to honor them by going for seconds. Then the fun began.

It has been the tradition to follow up the dinner with an amateur night showcasing all our local talent -- our version of America’s Got Talent. There was some great singing as well as musical renditions, poetry recitation, legendary storytelling, hula dancing and comedy skits.

By the time I got up to do my best presentation of Eamon Kelly’s “The Looking Glass,” some of the gathering had become well acquainted with Mr. Heineken and Miss Corona, so audience participation was flowing freely.

About 10 p.m. I bade farewell to those who were still having a great time and mentioned that I would be available for confession the next morning for those who might have partied a little too much.

It had been a great celebration that night for all of us here in Kalaupapa. And yes, Kalaupapa has talent. We are blest and we need to go tell it on the mountain.

Fire Ants May Be Coming

By Lori Buchanan | MoMISC The stinging little fire ant has been detected on hapuu ferns being sold at several garden stores and big box retail outlets on Maui and Oahu, according to the Hawaii Department of Agriculture (DOA) on Dec. 31. The ferns originated from Hawaii Island.

The Molokai/Maui Invasive Species Committee (MoMISC) continues to strongly urge Molokai residents not to import plants from Hawaii Island due to the current little fire ant (LFA)and coqui frog infestations there. Also to be aware that coqui frogs and LFA will hitchhike on other goods such as household items, vehicles and on you!

Originally from South America, LFA is considered among one of the world’s worst invasive species. LFA are tiny ants, measuring 1/16th inch long and are pale orange in color. LFA move slowly, unlike the Tropical Fire Ant, which is established in Hawaii and move quickly and are larger with a larger head in proportion to its body. LFA can produce painful stings and large red welts and may cause blindness in pets and livestock. They can build up very large colonies on the ground, in trees and other vegetation and completely overrun a property. They will also freely move into homes.

DOA is advising those who recently purchased hapuu logs or planters to contain the logs by placing them in a plastic

or garbage bag and seal it securely. You should contact the nearest HDOA office as soon as possible.

The most cost effective means of controlling invasive species is prevention. Preventing invasive pests from establishing themselves on Molokai is key.

Once an invasive species becomes established it may become too cost prohibitive to control and everyone loses.

To report an invasive species on Molokai, call the MoMISC office at 5535236 ext. 6585 and leave a message. You can also call the Oahu pest hotline toll free at 1-800-468-4644.

In recent years, MoMISC has intercepted coqui frogs on Molokai arriving on shipments of plants, roofing material and a vehicle which originated from Hawaii Island. Molokai has no agricultural inspector to inspect arriving shipments of goods to Molokai. The hope has always been that goods arriving on Molokai are “clean” and free of pest species and that shippers of high risk goods have done all they can to eliminate potential threats before shipping. While many suppliers of goods do their best to ensure their goods are pest free when they leave their facility, goods are held at “open” ports that could unknowingly harbor pest that could reinfest (hitchhike) on goods arriving on Molokai.

Please help MoMISC to keep invasive pests from establishing on Molokai.

Kawela Stream Mud For many months we have been wondering why someone is erecting a concrete barrier in the Kawela Stream.

Following the heavy downpour of Wednesday night, we see that the barrier is intended to divert mud onto the highway so that it can flow into the makai-side houses there. Very effective.

The Kawela Stream would gladly dump its contents into the ocean

if only the sand-barrier on the beach were breached before the flood arrives. When the wet weather promises to come along, get a crew down there and a machine to clear a path to the sea. Do it before it rains. Much cheaper.

Thank you for the many businesses and agencies that participated: Department of Health, TSA, Department of Education, Kamoi Snack n Go, Molokai Drugs, Molokai Community Health, Molokai General Hospital, Kualapuu Elemen-

tary School, Kaunakakai Elementary School, Molokai High LEO Club.

Thank you so much to Makoa Trucking and Young Brothers for donating shipping of the boxes to Honolulu.

Thank you to the many people who volunteered to help collect and pack the shoeboxes: Dana Kaahanui, Olu Woolsey, Minky Hoopai, Robert and Jocelyn Collier, Harley and Janelle Tancayo, Randy Manley, Dan Sterner, Nakoa Kaahanui, Liko Wallace, Kiralyn Arinoki, Anthony Lopez, Jane Woolsey, Lei, Kaleikini Kelly Go, Kim Svetin, Kathryn Inouye, Cameron and Jacque Hiro, Jr and Luana Alcon, Diane Abraham, and Debbie Spencer.

GMO - a Powerful Technology?

Dr. Karpiak, I was dismayed and disappointed by the rhetoric you submitted to the Dispatch recently.

For you to allege that those on the island oppose GMOs for undisclosed reasons is ludicrous and seems disingenuous. I believe there has been much specificity to the concerns and opposition raised. Have you actually listened and read the concerns? And to say that the concerns expressed are anti-science is both deceptive and absurd. Rather, it seems to me these large chemical companies – for that is their foundation rather than agriculture -- have manipulated the political and legal systems to circumvent serious scientific scrutiny and caution.

Rather than debate whether GMSs are the saving grace of mankind or its bane, let me suggest a couple of ideas that seem fair and common sense.

One concern raised is about the concurrent use of large amounts of pesticides in the scheme of GMO production and use. I think there is no doubt that this poses at least some degree of risk to the area in proximity of the pesticide use. I would propose that it would be

reasonable to require that there be full disclosure of all pesticides used and when and in what quantities they are to be applied. This would be consistent with regulation of controlled substances in other industries.

Secondly, I also believe it would be fair and reasonable to require that foods which contain ingredients made from or containing GMOs be so labeled in the same manner that all other food ingredients and additives are. Let the consumer decide if they want to risk eating these untested “food” products.

Lastly, I think that the whole idea of patenting living things is absurd and little more than another scheme by large corporations to reap increasingly larger profits at the expense of everyone else and this practice should be revoked and banned. Leave that area to God and let the higher power hold the patents to life.

Let’s have an honest frank respectful conversation about this topic! You call GMO research and industry advances. I respectfully beg to differ.
