rban development in Hawaii has left native butterflies with dwindling habitat, but on Molokai, butterflies will soon enjoy a buffet in downtown Kaunakakai. A specially-designed garden in front of the Molokai Public Library, created last week through volunteer community efforts, offers butterfly flower favorites, beauty for passersby and an agriculture education for keiki. “Just like bees, butterflies are important for agriculture because they’re pollinators and a lot of people don’t know that,” said U.S. Department of Agriculture Molokai inspector Chevy Levasa, who spearheaded the project in her free time. “There is a real problem on Oahu and… Maui because humans are building condos and taking over [butterflies’] habitat. Fortunately Molokai stays Molokai…this is an ideal place for them.” According to the Butterfly Society of Hawaii, there are 17 native Hawaiian butterfly species, and many admirers have noticed fewer butterflies

overall in the last 50 years. Levasa said the plants she selected for Molokai’s garden could attract species such as the Long-Tailed Blue, the Monarch and others. Those plants include marigold, milkweed, rattlepod and crownflower to appeal to various butterfly species and promote their life cycles. Leaves will be eaten by the caterpillars, while the flowers will be enjoyed once the insects transform to butterflies. In the future, Levasa said the plants may be replaced with more native species. Construction of the butterflyshaped garden bed began two weeks ago and continued throughout the week until that Saturday morning, when keiki and volunteers enjoyed the last stage of the project -- planting seedlings. “It’s a great experience learning about which plants attracts the butterflies,” said Godfrey Akaka, volunteer and leader of Molokai Boy Scouts unit 47. “It’s always good to do service.” Saturday’s event began with a pule and oli written by DJ Pelekai as the first butterfly -- or pulelehua -- floated

over the area, christening the event. Everyone broke into small groups, each planting a separate flower species for each section of the garden. Live music softly played and children painted paper butterflies made by palm weaver Terry Hill. “I liked planting the plants and painting the [paper] butterflies!” said eight-year-old participant Mahealani Bright-Wilhelm. After planting, covering the surrounding area in damp newspaper then rock, the garden received its final touches of wooden houses painted by the Molokai Youth Center, which will further attract and provide a refuge for butterflies. The Molokai Arts Center has also agreed to provide ceramic tiles, painted by keiki, which will line the garden, according to Levasa. Over the course of the garden project, Levasa said more than 50 community members and 12 organizations including Ace Hardware, Pizza Café, Monsanto and Mycogen donated their time and resources. The event was also

he Molokai girls paddling crew traveled to the state championships two weeks ago, earning fifth place out of 16 crews. While they finished their season strong, they also came home with a little something extra -- a $1,000 award from the Oahu Canoe Racing Association (OHCRA). “The Molokai people are so gracious we felt it was time to give back,” said OHCRA President Luana Froiseth. OHCRA sponsors the Molokai Hoe canoe race held annually between Molokai and Oahu. This passed year marked their 62nd race. “We appreciate all the help they give to us, their support all these years and we just wanted to give something back.” The award was presented to Molokai High School (MHS) Athletic Director Hoku Haliniak during Friday’s coaches meeting on Oahu prior to the state race. She said the money will go towards the paddling program. “I got emotional… it showed people really cared,” said Haliniak. “It’s like hard work paid off for [the paddling team].” Coach Tania Kaholoaa said the money will get the team to all five races next season, and for some of the competitions, it may even cover airfare instead of having to ride the ferry. “If you get five teams [of other Molokai sports] on the boat, there aren’t enough seats and if the weather is rough, the trip can get cancelled,” said Kaholoaa. Kaholoaa said she’s proud of her team for overcoming bad weather conditions and tough competition this year at states and pushing themselves 100 percent. She thanks the team, assistant coaches and parent support for a great season.

olokai High boys basketball won the last game of their regular season over St. Anthony, as well as celebrated Farmer Homecoming last Friday. Closing the night at the Barn with a 44-40 score, the team also honored their two seniors, David Rapanot, and Likeke Schonely. The boys will play in the MIL championship this weekend. In an effort to boost homecoming attendance and raise money for the cash-short Molokai athletics department, stakes were raised for one lucky game attendee to win $10,000 by making a half-court shot. Shirley Rawlins of Rawlins Chevron and David Mikami of Molokai Drugs donated the money, and tickets for the drawing sold for $5. True to the odds, no one walked away with the prize money, and athletic director Hoku Haliniak said even with $10,000 resting on the basket, the event only drew a handful more fans than last year. With attendance in the 400s, it’s not what many alumni recall homecoming to be. “We remember the days when… you

couldn’t even get into the gym because it was so full,” said ’87 alum Lori-Lei RawlinsCrivello. But some things don’t change, and graduates will always carry Molokai with them. “Have pride, give back, be proud of where you come from and never forget even though you graduate, you’re always part of the school,” Rawlins-Crivello advised students of Molokai High. Meanwhile, Molokai High’s $32,000 Downtown Athletic Club Hawaii presented athletic budget shortfall is garnering state- Molokai and Lanai athletic directors with a

Why I fly with Makani Kai Molokai resident Joan Florian says she switched to Makani Kai Air for the price and convenience, “I have a titanium knee and it sets off the scanner in the TSA line.

Kick-starting Scholarships Unattended Vehicle Causes Power Outage

By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

he Financial Aid Kick-Off event last Friday brought “one-stop shopping” to connect Molokai high school and college students with resources to assist them in pursuing their education. More than 30 different organizations from on- and off-island were represented under one tent at University of Hawaii Maui College, Molokai, according to event organizer Nahiwa Naki, an educational specialist at the campus’ Educational Opportunity Center. “There are a lot of resources out there, and students just need to know where to look,” said Naki. “No matter what school you want to go to, it’s about the path to get there… and we want to get the most resources for our students.” In its second year, the event seeks to make information about scholarships, financial aid and community support services readily available for Molokai students. Uri Martos of the Hawaii Community Foundation, which offers scholarship programs, said neighbor islands can sometimes feel like “step children” when it comes to outreach opportunities. She added that events like Molokai’s Financial Aid Kick-Off afford people the ability to connect face-to-face and find out about the resources at their doorsteps. “You can find everything in one place… all the work is done for you,”

she said, adding that events like this are really important, especially for Molokai. Students in attendance agreed. “It’s a good opportunity to see what’s out there,” said Molokai High senior Kayla Galam, who said she’s looking for scholarships to attend college on Maui. The event not only supported those wanting to pursue high education, but also those looking to enter the workforce. Alu Like, for example, offers financial aid to help those in vocational majors, said Molokai’s Cammy Hamakua-Napoleon. “Our students don’t have the opportunity to go off-island [for these resources],” said Kick-Off co-organizer Kelley Dudoit. “I’ll keep doing [this event] as long as students take advantage and the community sees it as something of value.” She said the Financial Aid KickOff, funded by GEAR UP Hawaii -- a federal program that stands for Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs -- has received a good turn-out in its two years.

Molokai Swimmers Headed for States

By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief lay time at the MIL meet was 1:38.82,

ix Molokai swimmers are headed to the state competition this weekend on Hawaii Island to culminate a season of dedication and records. “This is the best year since I’ve been coaching for four years,” said coach Jessie Ford. “We’re building on our successes and we want to build the momentum.” The swimmers will be racing in two boys relay events, the 200 yard medley and the 200 freestyle. Medley competitors are Luke Kikugawa, Caulin Nelson, Nui Helm and Michaiah Soares, while Keao Ross and Conan Kawano will make up the freestyle team along with Helm and Soares, who are competing in both races. Both teams got state consideration times in the Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) championship races two weeks ago, and are in the top 24 in the state, said Ford. Last year Molokai swimmers also competed at the state level, for the first time in 10 years, according to Ford. This was also a season of breaking school records, said former Molokai swim coach Lloyd Yonemura. The Molokai Men’s 200 Yard Freestyle Re-

which broke the previous Molokai High School record of 1:39.57, set in 1997 by Michael Manglicmot, Lenn Yonemura, Steven (Keola) Stone, and Jonathan Joao, according to Yonemura. Additionally, Helm’s time of :59.33 in the 100 yard butterfly at the MIL championship finals this year broke the previous school record of :59.64 for the event set by Michael Manglicmot in 1997. Despite the season’s strong showing, the team’s hard work is not over yet. Because of Molokai athletic budget shortfalls, the athletes needs to raise their own money to attend this year ’s state competition, and Ford said they are asking for support from the community. With accommodations on Hawaii Island already donated, the six swimmers need $2,500 to make the trip. “The kids have worked really hard this year… they even did double practices over Christmas break,” said Ford. “They really deserve this.” To make a contribution, contact Ford at jesserinford@gmail.com or visit the team at the Kaunakakai pool from 3 to 4:30 p.m. this week.

Students Raise Funds for College Tour By Jessica Ahles | Staff Writer

ineteen of Molokai High School’s (MHS) students have made lofty goals, setting their sights on some the country’s top universities. In a collaborative effort with their parents and educators to form the Molokai College Career Tour Club (MCCTC), they are working to raise $65,000 for a week-long college tour later this year and prepare for postgraduation success. “Our commitment is to our students throughout their high school career,” said Ric Ornellas, co-advisor of MCCTC. “We are committed that by the time they graduate, they are on their way to achieving their career goals, and part of that is preparing them to enter one of the most competitive education institutions in the world.” To aid in their efforts, MCCTC is hosting a Valentine-themed event for couples and families this Friday evening. The event includes dinner and a concert from legendary Hawaiian singer and slack-key guitar player Keola Beamer, who is donating his time for the fundraiser. The night will also feature a silent auction and live student performances, all for $50 a seat or $75 for a VIP table. “I love Molokai,” said Beamer, who has hosted a music camp on the island in past years. “I really haven’t had the chance to get there in a while and of course it’s a great cause.” Ornellas said MCCTC was developed last year in response to the Department of Education’s statewide initiative focusing on college-and-career-ready students. After seeing the success of MHS alumni and current Harvard student Michael Kikukawa, students are raising the bar and considering other Ivy League schools, Ornellas said. “One of the dorm advisors from Yale [University] actually came a few weeks ago and talked to us,” said MHS freshman and MCCTC member Edwin Greenleaf. “He really motivated us.”

Ka Honua Momona’s mission is to be a model of sustainability mauka a makai (from the mountains to the sea) and we believe Molokai can again return to abundance. We accomplish our mission by developing indigenous education systems by revitalizing natural and cultural resources, perpetuating traditional knowledge and stewardship and evolving with modern technology, which we believe will result in a self sufficient model for all nations.

a kick-start for Levasa’s Aggie Girls, a group of women working in state and government agriculture jobs who wish to give back to their communities. “Pollinators… like butterflies and bees are so important, especially from my aspect of farming,” said volunteer Jamie Ronzello, owner of Barking Deer Farm. “So when Chevy came to me [for help]…I thought, ‘what idea could possibly be better than to get kids involved in understanding the importance of pollinators in our community?’” Levasa said she’s always felt an affinity towards butterflies, but after becoming a member of the Butterfly Society of Hawaii and taking a tour of the

To meet their interest, MCCTC members are organizing a trip to visit five colleges in October. In one week, these students will tour Columbia University, Barnard College, New York University, and Yale. “This experience is opening many doors for me,” said Greenleaf, who aspires to be a surgeon. “I’ll see what they provide for medical and it’s giving me a chance to see how I can prepare myself physically and mentally [for college].” The students will also get the opportunity to explore the programs available, speak with current university students, and even sit in on a lecture. “We’re going to dorm with [students] and go to classes with them,” said sophomore Hi`ilani Mollena. “So it’ll give me the experience to prepare myself for college.” To get there, Ornellas said MCCTC has been working to raise enough funds in order to make this trip possible. Previous fundraisers included concession plates at the Mr. and Mrs. Green and White pageant as well as Teacher’s Institute Day. “All the teachers came out to the high school and we had notebooks, pens, notepads and snacks for sale,” said Mollena. “It was hard work, especially making some of the food from scratch.” This Friday, Ornellas said the club hopes raise $17,000 in ticket sales, donations and silent auction items. He said the students have been working especially hard to make the night successful and special for everyone. “Education is really important in the world,” said Beamer. “When you have a trip like this that you’re working towards, it’s a wonderful goal because when you travel, it’s an enriching experience. It’s giving you a better outlook on the world and on life.” To purchase a ticket, visit mcctc. weebly.com or contact MCCTC co-advisor Diane Mokuau at 567-6950 for more information.

butterfly garden at Oahu’s Foster Botanical Garden, she was inspired to make one for the Molokai community. “I wanted something to be sustainable, not just a one-time planting,” said Levasa. “I wanted it to be a communitybased garden that can be used for education and different projects as it gets older.” In the future, Levasa said she visualizes building connections between groups such as the Molokai Youth Center, Friends of the Library and the Molokai Boy Scouts, and allow them to decide how they want their garden to flourish. But until then, she said she’ll continue taking care of the garden until she can “pass the torch.” “To everybody involved, thank you so much because it couldn’t have happened without you,” said Levasa. “It’s not mine, it’s Molokai’s.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In her TED talk, science writer Mary Roach made it clear that human beings don’t need genital stimulation to experience orgasms. She spoke of a woman who routinely reaches ecstatic climax by having her eyebrows caressed, and another woman who reaches the big O simply by brushing her teeth. Then there’s the woman who can simply think herself into coming, no physical touch necessary. I can’t guarantee that a similar aptitude will suddenly turn on in you, Aries, but the coming days could bring you as close as you have ever been. Right now you’re a connoisseur of deep pleasure -- a blessed bliss master. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The fact that someone else loves you doesn’t rescue you from the project of loving yourself,” writes blogger Sahaj Kohli. Nothing else rescues you from that quest, either, I would add. Sooner or later, whether it’s now or 20 years in the future, you will have to master this fine art. It’s not enough to merely feel affection for yourself; not enough to seek pleasure and avoid pain. You’ve got to make extensive investigations to discover what it means to love yourself; you have to develop rigorous plans for how to accomplish it; and you must fire up a deep commitment as you actually carry out those plans. By the way, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to work on mastering this fine art. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Drunk with my madness, I shouted at him furiously, ‘Make life beautiful! Make life beautiful!’” So says a character in a prose poem by Charles Baudelaire. And now, even though I am neither drunk nor furious nor consumed with madness, I am whispering the same command to you. I hope you will respond by embarking on a heroic effort to make life beautiful everywhere you go. The astrological omens suggest that if you do, you will be inundated with practical blessings that are as valuable as money. This will also be an excellent way to drum up the kind of love you crave. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Here’s what I wish for you during the Valentine season: to be happily in love with an intimate partner who loves you back. If that’s not feasible, here’s what I hope: that you are learning provocative lessons about yourself through your growth-inducing relationship with a close ally. And if you’re not blessed with either of those experiences, here’s a third alternative: that you cherish your fathomless longing for its own sake, feeling wonder and reverence for its wild power even if it’s unfulfilled.

The Molokai Dispatch • Feb 12, 2014 •

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In her poem “Implications of One Plus One,” Marge Piercy marvels at the way she and her long-term partner keep finding new nuances in their lovemaking. “Ten years of fitting our bodies together / and still they sing wild songs in new keys,” she writes. What’s their secret? It’s “timing, chemistry, magic and will and luck.”What I wish for you this Valentine season, Libra, is that you will have access to all five of those ingredients as you reinvigorate your relationship to love. More importantly -- based on the current cosmic omens -- I *predict* you will have access to them. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Jesuit priest Pedro Arrupe touted the practical value of being totally in love. “What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything,” he said. “It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.” Are you in love, Scorpio? With either a person, a beloved animal, a certain patch of land, your creative work, or life itself? If not, there’s no excuse! Astrologically speaking, it’s an excellent time for you to be stupendously in love with someone or something -- anything! If you are already in this state, trust your intuition to make it even smarter and finer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Borrowing the words of Rumi (translated by Coleman Barks), I’ve prepared a love note for you to use as your own. Give it to a person whose destiny needs to be woven more closely together with yours: “You are the sky my spirit circles in, the love inside love, the resurrection-place.” Would you like even more inspirational words to deliver to your chosen one? I hope so. Be greedy for lyrical bonding. Lust for springy intimacy. Feed your churning yearning. Try saying this, lifted from the book *The Last Unicorn*: “We are two sides of the same magic.” And be sure to say this, paraphrased from Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh:“I love you in a way that will always make you feel free.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “People think a soul mate is your perfect fit,” says author Elizabeth Gilbert. “But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back . . . They tear down your walls and smack you awake. . . shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you . . . transform your life.” Does that sound like the kind of person you want in your life, Capricorn? Or do you prefer someone who likes what you like, appreciates you just as you are, and makes your life more secure and comfortable? This Valentine season is a good time to make or renew your commitment to one choice or the other. Whatever you decide, you’re likely to experience it on a richer, deeper level during the next 12 months.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Making eye contact is essential for building potent links with people you care about. It bypasses rational thought, stimulating chemical reactions in your bodies that enhance empathy and intimacy. In practicing the art of love, it’s one of the most potent moves you can make. This Valentine season would be an excellent time for you Leos to explore the frontiers of what’s possible through prolonged eye contact. Start here: Cultivate a sincere desire to know what’s simmering inside the souls of your dearest allies. With that as your driving force, your gaze won’t be clouded by shyness or self-consciousness.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do you feel oppressed by Valentine’s Day? Maybe you’re single and reject the cultural bias that says being in an intimate relationship is the healthy norm. Or maybe you’re part of a couple but are allergic to the cartoonish caricatures of romance that bombard you during the Valentine marketing assault. If you’d rather consecrate love and intimacy in your own unique way, untainted by the stereotypes flying around, I invite you to rebel. Make this the year you overthrow the old ways and start a new tradition: Valentine’s Day 2.0. Mock sappy, sentimental expressions of romance even as you carry out futuristic experiments in radiVIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I prefer an ecstatic orgasm to cally slaphappy love. a lot of angst,” says Filipino artist David Medalla. I hope you PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I have come to be fascinated consider making that your battle cry during this Valentine with the messiness of desire,” writes novelist Ashley Warlick, season. It would be in rapt harmony with the current cos- “with the ways people fit themselves together, take themmic omens. There really is no need for you to get sidelined selves apart for each other, for want of each other, for want by anxiety or distracted by stress when the natural remedy of some parts of each other.” Your assignment, Pisces, is to is so easily available. In every way you can imagine, Virgo, celebrate the messiness of desire; to not just grudgingly acfight off sourness and dourness by engaging in acts of joy cept it as an inconvenience you’ve got to tolerate, but rather and pleasure. to marvel at it, be amused by it, and appreciate it for all the lessons it provides. Your motto this Valentine season could be, “I bless the messy largesse of my longing.”

My Valentine Sweetheart

MAC News Release

To my Valentine sweetheart of 51 years, Dianna Sue: Thank you for your continued courtship and helping me understand that marriage is a relationship that cannot survive selfishness, impatience, domineering, inequality and lack of respect. I regard it as an incontrovertible fact that no marriage circle can true place, love, purity, chastity and happiness be found in which is not present the spirit of Christ and the daily striving after loving obedience to His divine commands, especially the nightly prayer expressing gratitude for blessings received. God helps us to build homes in which the spirit of heaven on earth may be experienced. You and I know that that is possible -- it is not a theory, it is not a theory. As Spencer Kimball writes in “Faith Precedes the Miracle,” “As we should have

I also offer free electronic filing and direct deposit of refunds to the bank of your choice for faster service. I can review tax returns you or anyone else prepared. Since Jan. 23, I have found errors in four tax returns prepared by clients as well as professional tax pre-

parers. Correcting these errors resulted in getting more than $4,000 of additional refunds for the customers that brought in returns to be checked. I can also review tax returns from prior years. If errors are found in tax returns prepared in the last three years, you can still make a correction and get the refunds you are entitled to. I provide free service completing W4s to ensure you don’t end up owing any taxes. Letting your employer know the correct amount to deduct from your payroll will ensure you don’t end up having to pay on your tax returns. I’m also available year-round for consultation on any tax problems, letters, or tax concerns, and at no charge to our customers, I can offer tax planning or assisting with correspondence from the state and the IRS. I’m here to help you get through the hassles of filing your income taxes. I am trained to get you the largest possible refund or pay the smallest amount under the law. Why go through the stress of doing it yourself? Drop in and drop off your information, and I can help you.

Palaàu Moku Requests Comments Aha Palaàu Moku News Release The Aha Palaàu Moku of Molokai is assisting in the facilitation of information of a proposal to designate a portion of Molokai’s north western coastline as a Community Based Subsistence Fishing Area (CBSFA). The main purpose of the proposal is to protect coastal and marine resources for future generations. Residents of Palaàu Moku (Hoolehua, Kalae, Kualapuù, Kalamaula) are encouraged to participate and everyone’s manaò is valuable and important. Copies of the proposal are currently being distributed by Moku representatives who would

like to receive comments back by Feb. 20. Comments received will be incorporated into the working draft proposal and presented back to the community in March. You can receive a copy by contacting Wayde Lee, Palaàu Moku Poò at (808) 213-1108 or by email, walee@ymail.com. The Palaàu Moku of Molokai would like to extend a big mahalo to our community for their kuleana to protect our resources in perpetuity.

Museum Handcrafters Molokai Museum and Cultural Center News Release For a number of years, a small group of quilters, a knitter and a weaver have met at the museum on the third Thursday afternoon of the month and pursued their various craft interests. For two years running, the quilters made a group quilt which was sold to benefit the museum. This last year, they decided instead to make small quilts

to benefit babies and children in crisis through the Project Linus program. On Thursday, Jan. 30, they mailed off nine small quilts to the project headquarters, finishing off their 2013 project. If you are interest in this type of project, you are welcome to join the group at the museum in Kalae. The next gathering will be Feb. 16 from 3 to 6 p.m.

Correction Last week’s scoreboard incorrectly noted that swimmer Kealohanui Helm was the first individual to get a state consideration time for MHS. Instead, he was the first in Jessie Ford’s four years of coaching the team, and his time broke a MHS record for the event. The Dispatch regrets the error.

Lono Unplugged in Kalaupapa Wednesday night, Feb. 5, Lono charmed the residents of Kalaupapa with an old style Hawaiian “unplugged” concert at Fuesaina Bar. The happy occasion was the second celebration of Kalaupapa resident Elizabeth Kahihikolo’s 80th birthday. The intimate setting was a perfect followup to the original birthday party held one week earlier where LUP, the Kalaupapa band, treated the birthday girl and partygoers to an evening of lively tunes. Lono

had planned to perform at the original birthday party but due to inclement weather was forced to postpone his performance. Lono arrived with a large birthday card for Aunty signed by folks who had heard him play the previous night at Paddlers. A very sincere mahalo to all the musicians for making Aunty’s 80th birthday celebrations “events to remember.” Claire Cappelle

Funding Studies and Solutions Juan Trinidad’s request in the Jan. 29 Molokai Dispatch for evidence of the health risks of GMOs opens the door to a huge collection of studies that show the danger. Some organizations that compile the data you are looking for include the Institute Of Responsible Technology, American Academy of Environmental Medicine, and Union of Concerned Scientists. For example, a recent comparative pig study (Flinders University) showed, in the GMO-fed subjects, stomach inflammation, liver sickness, digestive and reproductive problems. For more information, visit responsibletechnology.org. Also, when Danish pig farmer Ib Pedersen stopped feeding his animals GM corn and soy, he noted less bloat, stomach ulcers and diarrhea. He saw his breeding stock live longer, have fewer abortions, and produce larger litters. To read more about this study, visit theecologist.org. According to the Huffington Post, Dr. Edison deMello writes, “When asked how Europeans handle GMO labeling, a European colleague of mine -- not surprisingly -- laughed as she wisely said, ‘You Americans can make such a big deal out of nothing. In Europe, this is a very easy question to answer: Research has

consistently shown that it is bad for you, so we stopped using it.” More than 40 industrialized nations either enforce GMO labeling laws or ban the sale of the stuff altogether. In response to the urgent concern in Mr. Trinidad’s letter about employment on Molokai, there is encouraging news. Those now employed by chemical companies could as well be employed in fields devoted to organic agriculture. Additionally, Molokai can enjoy (and the planet will benefit from) the cultivation of hemp and bamboo. We need to replace cotton -- which depletes soil, requires lots of chemicals to grow, and is expensive to cultivate and process -- with hemp, which actually improves the soil. Hemp, grown organically, is a source of food as well as fabric. Bamboo makes sense and can help Molokai become self-sustaining. The planet, including Molokai, is being degraded by industrial agriculture, among other practices. We can stop that by reverting to scientifically-proven organic methods. And we can grow crops that will benefit us in ways that sustain the soil, water and air. Kevin Brown
