he crash of a small plane on Molokai’s west end on Thursday, Feb. 27 went unreported for days, and information on the event is still missing. Last week, authorities identified the pilot as John Weiser, Jr., owner of Panda Ranch and grass air strip in the Papohaku area. Weiser was flying a twin-engine Partenavia P68 Observer, reportedly at night, but it is currently unknown whether the crash occurred during take-off or landing, according to Ian Gregor, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Pacific Division public affairs manager. A man who found the damaged aircraft reported it to the FAA on Saturday, March 1. Federal regulations require an aircraft operator to immediately report an accident to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB.) Two FAA investigators traveled to Molokai last Tuesday. They examined the aircraft, reviewed its maintenance records, and spoke with the pilot and the man who found the plane, said Gregor, via email. No report has yet been released. “Last week I saw the plane in the trees,” a west Molokai resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said last Friday. “I thought ‘that’s weird… Weiser has his plane in the tree.’ He crashes a lot. I thought nothing more about it.” She didn’t think more about it until the following Monday, that is, when she saw emergency vehicles “zoom by” and gather near the runway. “I thought, ‘that’s strange, the plane had been there for four days,’” the resi-

t’s your move!” said Hiwa Ritte, urging her opponent, Ko`i Davis, who was carefully peering over a finely-made koa konane board. “I’m thinking!” Ko`i said, scratching her head, pondering which `ili `ele `ele, or black piece, to move in rows of alternating white and black stones. Described as a test of strategy and intellect, the ancient Hawaiian game of konane, played by ali`i and commoners alike, was considered a favorite pastime to socialize and to even settle disputes, according to Kauai cultural practitioner Sean Chun. Resembling the rules of checkers, it was said a konane tournament could last days and was a regular feature in every household. Today, konane is played mostly during the Makahiki games held each winter. “Personally, I’ve played and it’s lasted hours,” said Chun. “It’s all in fun and games and it’s a mental challenge... It’s not about how many `ilis you have in possession, it’s about who can make the last move.” But at the Papa Konane workshop held last Saturday at the Molokai Community Health Center, participants didn’t just learn how to play konane, they made their own set to take home and share with their `ohana. Organized by Ka Pa Hula `O Hina I Ka Po La`ila`i and led by Chun, the event was part of a I Mu Ola workshop series that also included teachings in lomilomi therapeutic massage healing. Kumu Kanoelani Davis said the purpose of the cultural workshops is to inspire the Molokai community to practice and perpetuate Hawaiian arts while providing a sense of connection to oneself and their cultural roots. “The biggest reason I want to do these [workshops] in the community is the value in them,” said Davis. “There’s a high value from the intuitive values, the responsibility values, the traditional values, and the connected values to mind body and spirit.”
A
tradition of Molokai entrepreneurship with aloha fostered by the late Annette PauoleAhakuelo is being carried on today by many local business people. Wailani Tanaka, owner of Something For Everybody, was recently honored for that spirit by being named the recipient of the special 2014 Annette PauoleAhakuelo Molokai Small Business Achievement Award. Part of this year’s Mayor’s Small Business Awards, Tanaka was given the recognition on Feb. 26 as the Mayor’s Office of Economic Development and the Maui Chamber of Commerce honored the winners from around Maui County. Tanaka was the only recipient from Molokai, though one of three to

She thinks teaching Molokai’s youth about energy literacy is a good place to start, and on March 1, teachers from around the island participated in an energy education workshop with that very goal. In a series of workshops offered statewide in collaboration between Hawaii Energy, a ratepayer-funded energy conservation and efficiency program, and National Energy Education Development (NEED), nearly 20 Molokai teachers from elementary through high school

olokai is a strong, tight-knit community with close family and neighborhood ties. However, issues such as child sexual abuse are often avoided in conversation and swept under the rug for fear of damaging those relationships, according to a statewide study conducted in 2011. “About sexual abuse, there are generations of it [on Molokai],” said an anonymous participant in the study lead by the University of Hawaii School of Social Work. “Everyone knows but no one talks about it cause it is a small community.” Yet Molokai women broke the silence last Wednesday at the first women’s group meeting to address child sexual abuse on the island. “Sexual assault is [happening] on this island and it’s wrong,” said Andrea “Titi” Hernandez, Child and Family Service Office Manager and women’s group leader. “We knew we needed to start a women’s group because our women are strong and are the driving force in the community.” The first meeting involved an introduction of some of the local resources such as the Molokai Sexual Abuse Response Team (MoSART). Made up of representatives from Molokai Police Department, Child and Family Service, Molokai General Hospital, and Department of Human Services-Child Welfare Division, the newly-formed MoSART is available around the clock to provide immediate care to sexual assault victims. Contact MoSART by calling the Molokai Sexual Assault Center at 553-5529 or the 24Hour Sexual Assault Hotline, 213-5522. “There are plenty of sexual assault cases on this island but only a few of them are reported.” said Hernandez. “[MoSART] had a report recently and they were right on it. We have a great team here.” With the small number of reports filed in the community, the meeting brought to light a lack of communication within the community and between family members. “Talking about sex is uncomfortable for everyone and as a child, if there was an issue in the family, we were just taught to deal with it,” said one attendee. Other participants discussed the effects that carry on even into adulthood and the existence of sexual abuse today. “There’s almost no surprise to find

out who’s been sexually abused,” said attendee Kau`i Manera. “…I thought I’d get over it, but no, abuse stays with you and there’s almost more of us tainted than not.” In 2012, a study called “And How Are the Children?” asked communities with a high Native Hawaiian population about the cultural and social conditions of their children and families. When participants conveyed the problem of sexual abuse on Molokai, The Consuelo Foundation, an organization working to prevent child neglect, partnered with the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) and Child and Family Services, to effect positive change in the community. “It’s truly an honor to be here,” said UH School of Social Work program chair, Paula Araullo Tanemura Morelli, at the event. “We’re hoping to get a women’s group going to educate families and children before they’re sexually abused. Our biggest goal is to create a culture of prevention.” Currently a team of three organizes and runs a mens, kupuna and youth group to target and promote the strength and knowledge of each age group. “Men are usually seen on the negative side as the perpetrators but also, on the positive side, as role models,” said former Molokai police detective Eugene Santiago, who runs the men’s group. “Our kupuna are our elders--they carry wisdom and cultural values with them-and our youth group [learns] how to best protect themselves.” The goal, according to youth group leader Kealoha Hooper, is to prevent child sexual abuse using indirect lessons such as ballroom dancing for ages 13 and up, which teaches respect and body ownership. During Wednesday’s meeting, Hernandez shared the importance to engage and educate the parents as well. “We have to talk about the parent’s role,” said Hernandez to the group. “There’s a thought that if it doesn’t affect my family, we’re not going to worry about it…but by the time sexual abuse happens, it too late.” Over the next few meetings, which will take place monthly, Hernandez said the discussion will involve brainstorming prevention strategies in the community. For more information or if interested to attend future meetings, contact Hernandez at 213-5551.

Ozone in Medicine By Sheila Mohammed, MD, PhD Ozone is a form of oxygen which possesses unique properties which are applied to clinical practice. It contains a large excess of energy which manifests bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal actions which make it a treatment of choice in certain conditions. During the First World War, ozone’s bactericidal properties were used to treat infected wounds, mustard gas burns and fistulas. Today, medical ozone generators deliver the purest ozone-oxygen mixtures in precise dosages. Ozone must be freshly generated for immediate use at the treatment site. Contraindications to ozone treatment include acute alcohol intoxication, recent myocardial infarction, hemorrhage from any organ, pregnancy, hyperthyroidism, thrombocytopenia and ozone allergy. Ozone was first administered by application to external body surfaces to determine its effects on a variety of lesions. Extremities or portions of the head or torso can be comfortably encased in a bag where ozone is administered at a chosen flow rate. Indication for external ozone application include poorly healing wounds, burns, staphylococcal infections, fungal and radiation lesions, herpes simplex and zoster, and gangrene. Dosage is adjusted to the condition treated. Ozone perfusions may last from three to 20 minutes. The treatment of burns, superficial fungal infection, decubitus ulcers and abscesses is through external (or body cavity) application of ozone which inactivates micro-organisms, bacteria, viruses or fungi, by direct contact. Ozone-oxygen mixtures are used in rectal insufflation to treat ulcerative colitis, fistulae, proctitis and hemorrhoids. In inflammatory diseases of the bowel, ozone promotes healing and restores the flora balance disturbed
by pathogenic organisms. Ozone is a strong germicide. At low concentrations, ozone rapidly inactivates coliform bacteria, staphylococcus aureus and Aeromonas hydrophilia. The inactivation of enteroviruses is rapid. Viruses differ in their susceptibility to destruction by ozone. Ozone damages viral components which prevents them from replicating. Major autohemotherapy utilizing ozone, has been applied to the treatment of several conditions, including acute and chronic viral infections (hepatitis), some carcinomas, circulatory disturbances (diabetes, arteriosclerosis), and hyperlipidemia. When added to a standard therapeutic regimen for postmenopausal osteoporosis, this technique enhances re-mineralization of bone. Ozonized olive oil provides long term, low dose exposure of ozone and lipid peroxides to tissues. Decubitus ulcers and mycoses are indications for its use. Ozonized water bubbled in warm baths, provides stimulation of local circulation and disinfectant action to varicosities, peripheral circulatory disorders and dermatological conditions such as eczema and ulcers. Treatment of whole blood is reported to render it virus-free without injuring any cellular elements. Pulmonary effects from ozone in low doses appear to include metabolic activation of lung cells. The metabolism of cancer cells is abnormal. Cancer cells produce energy to live in the absence of oxygen. Ozone oxygenates the blood and cancerous tissues and generates peroxides which prevent cancer from doing the necessary chemical reactions to stay alive. Scientific research has shown a 90 percent growth inhibition in breast cancer, lung cancer, and uterine cancer. On Molokai, please call Lisa Davis at 808-658-0787, or Michi at 808553-3930 for treatment.

New MHS Athletic Trainer Swinging into Spring Athletics By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief
D
alyann Barnett arrived on Molokai from Ohio on a Monday two weeks ago, and started work as Molokai High’s new athletic trainer the same day. The school’s athletes have been without a trainer to ensure their health and safety during training and sporting events since last year. Before that, it had been two years since an athletic trainer had worked on campus. “Dalyann is a gift from heaven,” said MHS Athletic Director Hoku Haliniak. “We now have someone on staff that will be able to assist our student-athletes and their injuries.” Barnett moved to Molokai with her three-year-old and her fiancé. “My family and I are really outdoorsy -- we fish and hunt -- so it’s nice to be here,” she said. “I’m young… so it’s easy to move. I thought it would be a good career opportunity.” With a Master’s degree in education with a background in sports
energy Continued From pg. 1 levels learned how to better educate their students on energy topics. In addition to performing a number of hands on activities for themselves, they each went home with a kit valued at $300 to $400 to use in their classrooms. “This workshop sparks the interest of teachers to teach kids [about energy] at a young age -- something I never had,” Sarah said. Kim Moats-Barnes, NEED program associate, led the workshop, offering an overview of energy facts, electricity consumption numbers and hands-on learning activities geared toward understanding the science of energy. In Hawaii alone, for example, 33 barrels of oil are used for each man, woman and child living in the state. Seventy-four percent of energy generated comes from imported oil. Hawaii Energy claims to be helping to change those numbers and push the state toward its goal of 70 percent clean energy by 2030. “If [students] can go home and show their parents how energy efficiency works, hopefully [we can reduce fossil fuel consumption],” said Moats-Barnes. “Because Molokai is so small, everybody’s actions account for a larger percentage.” Teachers gathered around experiments from the kits using batteries, wires, thermometers, light bulbs and even apples to show the science of energy. “It’s going to give me different ways to demonstrate [energy],” said MHS teacher Weldon Wichman. He said he already teaches a unit on energy but said the kits will expand the opportunities to present the material. Jonathan Smith, an MHS math teacher and one of Jenkins’ senior project advisors, agreed. “The earlier students are exposed to [energy education], they’ll live the lifestyle [of energy conservation],” he said, supporting Jenkins’ hope that one day, the entire island will be more conscious of their energy footprint. For the high school’s immediate future, Smith said energy conservation could have a tangible and much-needed effect. “Spend less money on electricity, and that would secure more money for teachers,” he said, adding that by reorganizing and prioritizing schools’ limited funding
management, Barnett worked for two years as a graduate assistant at Ohio’s Wright State, then as an athletic trainer with a high school softball team. She said she heard about the opening at MHS through Wright State alumni who had connections at the University of Hawaii. She said she’ll bring more than just her job description to the school. “I work well with kids in training but also try to be a mentor for them,” she said. She added she’s found the people on Molokai to be “so nice, kind and open” so far as her family settles in to a new lifestyle. Barnett said she plans to stay on the island at least five years, and “see how it goes.”
could mean more resources could be directed where they’re most needed -- on teaching students. When Sarah and her mother, Canoe Complex Area STEM Resource Teacher Heidi Jenkins, learned the workshop was coming to Molokai, they helped “spark the interest of teachers to come,” said Sarah. The workshop is part of the junior’s senior project action plan. She’s getting a head start on the project by launching a two-week energy challenge on campus next month, as well as conducting an energy audit on the school. In addition, Sarah plans to visit both elementary and high school classrooms to help teach energy literacy. Next year, she’ll be working with Hawaii Energy and NEED to make adjustments to how the school uses energy. “Once I’ve identified the major users of electricity [where most of MHS’s electric bill is spent], then we’ll work to improve the school by implementing those changes,” said Sarah. She said she’s also working on a green management plan for the proposed new science classroom building on campus. That will be made possible in part by a $2,500 grant from Hawaii Energy and NEED that Sarah wrote with Smith. Sarah’s interest in energy was sparked by working with two energy-saving initiatives that took place across Molokai as a partnership between Blue Planet Foundation and Sust`ainable Molokai. Over the past few years, the CFL light bulb exchange and the Hui Up program that offered trades for old refrigerators with Energy Star models have already raised residents’ awareness of electricity conservation, Sarah said. The CFL and fridge exchanges already taught residents about energy efficiency, or using technology to eliminate waste and still get the desired services without using as much electricity. But Sarah’s project hopes to take efficiency to the next level: conservation. “Conservation is actually changing behaviors and habits to use less energy,” she explained. For example, using an electric car would decrease the use of gas, but adjusting one’s lifestyle and riding a bicycle instead of driving a car would conserve the most resources. Saturday’s event was one step in that process. “After the teachers obtain this new knowledge, my goal is to utilize teachers and students to help improve energy conservation at Molokai High School and throughout the island,” said Sarah.

s the dust settles and winter sports begin to cool down, Molokai High School (MHS) spring athletics are just warming up, lacing up their spikes and practicing their swing for their pitches and putts.
Softball The Lady Farmers are entering the spring season with hopes to not only match last year’s title as Division II Maui Interscholastic League Champions, but to also beat it by winning some games at the Hawaii High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) state tournament this year, said Coach Coco Augustiro, in her 10th year with the program. The team began conditioning and prepping for the season in January, while starting organized practice in February. About 30 athletes came out for the sport and 18 made the cut, said Augustiro, for a roster of 13 returning players and five freshmen. “With 18 girls, we need to find the right combination, strategizing where and when to play each player,” said Augustiro. Although last year’s team consisted mostly of freshmen and sophomores, Augustiro said she wants to build on the skill set they acquired, get them physically fit, and finish with a strong season. This season will bring extra softball to the Farmers’ home field as the MILs will be held on Molokai April 26 through the 28. Augustiro said the tournament may be held at the high school’s softball facilities, which are currently under restoration. Until then, Augustiro said the team will be working on their grounders, practicing their pitches, and working hard to prepare for their first game of the season at Seabury this weekend.
Baseball Farmer baseball is already under full swing as this year’s Division II team is wrapping up their pre-season 3-3 record, participating in a Baldwin tournament in March and coming in first at their pre-season tournament at Duke Maliu Park in February, said coach Mike McCutcheon. This season’s make-up includes two seniors and four freshmen as part of the 20-player roster. “I elected to keep everyone [rather than make cuts],” said McCutcheon. “I feel everybody should be given a fair shot because the camaraderie and keeping them out of trouble is a good thing.” McCutcheon said he thinks the team is in good condition to take on this season after earning the MIL title and placing fourth in states last year. He said he expects to place at least third in the tournament this time. “We’ll face some everyday challenges like keeping the group of kids close, no clicks, and make sure everybody understands it’s a team effort,” said McCutcheon, adding that they are a great group and “make my job really easy.” After the Farmer’s close victory over the Spartans in the MIL Championships last year, McCutcheon said the team looks forward their match-up against Seabury April 4 at home.
“They have always been our toughest competitor,” said McCutcheon. “We look forward to that match and it will be great to play it at home.” The team’s first game of the regular season is scheduled for March 31 on Lanai.
Boys Golf Molokai High is competing with its first golf team this year in about 10 years (it’s been so long that no one’s quite sure.) Last year, golf was played at the school as an individual game with four players, and this year, the group of six boys plays both as a team and as individuals. “It’s their first time playing as a team,” said Coach Darryl Rego. “Other teams have had teams for years.” This year’s team is comprised of one senior, one junior, two sophomores and two freshmen. “This is a young team but they’re doing well,” said assistant coach Ted Tokuoka. “They just gotta get the butterflies out.” With two matches held on their home Ironwood Hills course so far this year, the Farmers have narrowly missed victory twice. Two weeks ago, they tied their first match with Seabury at 200 and lost their second 192-204. Last weekend, they lost 198-204 to Kamehameha Maui in the pouring rain on Friday afternoon, followed by a 194208 defeat Saturday morning. Even though it’s their home turf, Ironwoods presents a challenge. Kamehameha Maui senior Lucas Park said he’s been playing golf for 10 years and called it “one of the toughest courses I’ve played on.” Molokai sophomore William Dela Cruz, one of the four who played last year, described the team as “good fun,” adding they’re looking for more players to join the team.. The Farmers golf team has one more match at Ironwoods this Saturday against Maui Prep. Rego said the team will play seven matches total during the regular season, including during spring break. While the team may not have a good shot at the MILs this year, Rego said as individuals, some of the boys show promise to qualify for states. “I’m a golfer at heart so it’s nice to see golf back at the school,” said Rego. “Hopefully it’s the start of something good.” See next week’s Dispatch for more spring sports.
‘I Am Loved’ Project MMS News Release Do you want to be a part of Molokai Middle School’s “I Am Loved” campaign? The I Am Loved (IAL) project helps build relationships and expresses through visual pictures the message of love. The IAL project is part of a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports pilot program created and initiated by MMS Behavioral Specialist Kim Lani. She says the intent is to “strengthen bonds between students, loved ones and the community.” According to Lani, the IAL project boldly proclaims that everyone is loved and teaches youth that feeling and showing love is a normal, healthy and an expected positive behavior. Social media such as Facebook and Instagram are being utilized to share photos and help spread the positive vibe. Recently, the community was tapped into participating. You may recognize the photos with the many faces of Molokai business owners and employees. The project is also catching wind in other schools across the nation, including schools in California.

Unusual Rains Make Changes So far we’ve had two months of on-going small rains without dry periods. Amazing changes now going on along Maunaloa Highway, trees and grasses are growing like crazy! But on closer look, the older trees in people’s yards are flowering and fruiting with abundance. People that have avocados are estimating their harvest in the hundreds of pounds per tree. Mushrooms are growing in the dead wood and even here and there beneath the grass. Insects are swarming, going through the screens and aiming for the sink and the light bulbs. We see this all the time in years when the winter rains are good, but never like this! The

Her business has been operating for a little over a year. “This award… represents everything Annette stood for in this community,” said Jennifer Hawkins, small business specialist at the Kuha`o Business Center. “She was pro-entrepreneurship and encouraged people to step out and love what they do and do what they love. [It’s great] to have a local girl see a local need and fill that by offering slightly worn clothing at an affordable cost… we’re proud of her.”

flip side is that species like the small white moth and the flying termites don’t seem to hardly be showing up at all. Those of us who bury their organic waste as fertilizer around the fruit trees are now seeing small plants like mango, avocado and lilikoi popping out of the ground. And what about dead trees? One farmer’s 60 pomegranate trees looked dead for more than two years, but now leafed out and have branches crowded with fruit. This unexpected abundance of vegetation has many uses. It can be used as mulch for fruit trees, animal feed, organic food for earthworms, natural fertilizer and piled-up left-over branches can be used as garden windbreaks. Aloha everybody. Please don’t forget to pick up plastic and do what you can to take care of the coral. Save our reef.
“Small businesses are Maui County’s most important economic engine, and these awards celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit that is alive and well in Maui County,” said Mayor Alan Arakawa. “Business owners take many risks, work long hours and put their personal assets on the line to provide our community with goods and services, as well as much-needed employment. I congratulate each of this year’s winners, and wish them continued success.” Hawkins said the county’s award in honor of Pauole-Ahakuelo was a one-time recognition, but she said she is hoping a local group will take over the award to enable its presentation in future years.

Winter Blues By Glenn I. Teves, County Extension Agent | UH CTAHR Because Hawaii is located on the northern edge of the tropics, winters are much colder here than in tropical areas, and is considered sub-tropical. What does that mean for tropical plants? The word “tropical” evoke visions of hot, steamy jungles, but there are also dry, high elevation areas. The climate in which each plant species originated from usually determines how they will respond to cold winters. Avocado originated in three different climates in and near Central America, including West Indies, Guatemala and Mexico. Mexican avocado do well in the cooler California climate, while the Guatemala and West Indies varieties do better in Hawaii. Mango originated in two different tropical areas, in drier India and wetter Southeast Asia. Mangos can be distinguished by their seed type, with Southeast Asia varieties having more than one embryo in each seed, while Indian mango has one embryo. When these species are crossed, the progeny can take on a character somewhere between its two parents. Both avocado and mango benefit some from cold weather in slowing growth and encouraging flowering. Too much rain can damage flowers, create disease and affect the quality of the end product. Of the flowers produced by both avocado and mango, less than one percent of the flowers will form mature fruit. Papaya and banana evolved in the
truly tropical areas, banana near New Guinea, and papaya in Central America, and cold weather will dramatically slow the growth of both. Banana will suffer from black leaf streak or Sigatoka disease, which causes premature leaf drop. Banana flowers initiated during summer months will mature to ripe fruit in about 90 days, but when flowering in winter, will take anywhere from 120 to 150 days to mature. Taro is another truly tropical plant that will slow down in winter, and is very susceptible to diseases affecting its leaves during cold and wet episodes, including leaf blight. Sweet potato and eggplant are also very tropical and do not enjoy cold winters as well, adversely affecting growth and days to maturity. The metabolic rate of these tropical plants will slow down in response to cold weather, but will have short spurts of growth on warm days between the cold, rainy ones. So how can we help these plants weather the winter? “The time to fix a roof is before the rain.” Cold overcast weather with declining day lengths will stop truly tropical plants cold and dramatically slow growth. Fertilizing them when they’re actively growing before the end of summer is the key. Certain fertilizers, such as Phosphorus, will not move well up the roots when soil is cold, and must be incorporated into the soil when plants are rapidly growing. In this way, they will have good structural growth before the shorter days arrive. When bad weather arrives, plants will be ready and can endure the winter blues until better days are here in early spring.

Be Fire Safe: Brush Removal By Richard Schonely, Fire Inspector Recent heavy rains have created new brush growth. Check your house or lot now and take steps to protect your property from fire hazards. The Department of Fire and Public Safety asks property owners to make sure their land is in compliance with the Uniform Fire Code pertaining to brush as adopted by the County of Maui. Fire personnel will be inspecting parcels yearly throughout Molokai. Visit the nearest fire station to pick up a brochure on how the parcel should be maintained. You can also visit firewise.org to get tips on making your home safe from a brush fire. Please read the following information and keep in mind that violators can face a fine of up to $1,000.00 for each day the violation exists. This does not include the liability that a property owner may face if his/ her parcel is responsible for the spread of a fire. Those who own, lease or maintaining a structure in or adjoining any hazardous fire area shall: 1. Maintain an effective fire break around the structure by removing and clearing away, for a distance of not less than 30 feet on each side, all flammable vegetation or other combustible growth.
2. Maintain additional fire protection or firebreak by removing all brush, flammable vegetation or combustible growth located from 30 feet to 100 feet from such a structure as may be required by the chief if he finds 30 feet is not sufficient. 3. Maintain any tree adjacent to or overhanging any building free of dead wood. 4. Maintain the roof of any structure free of leaves, needles or other dead vegetative growth. Please also keep in mind that electrical transmission lines shall also be kept clear of all vegetative growth. Do not attempt to remove hazardous brush near live electrical equipment without proper training. Contact the responsible utility company for information. Keep 10 feet clearance around telephone and electrical poles, transformers etc. A 10 feet clearance shall also be maintained along all roadways. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and your neighbors will thank you. We must prepare for the next brush fire because it’s not a matter of if it happens but when. Are you prepared? Stay fire safe! Contact Richard Schonely, Fire Inspector with the Department of Fire and Public Safety, with any questions at 553-8491.

crash
Continued From pg. 1 dent said, describing Weiser himself as “a very strange guy -- nobody really knows him [here].” The resident said someone who had spoken to Weiser afterward recounted him casually attributing the crash to a gust of wind. “He’s been flying here for over 20 years. He’s had many crashes,” the resident continued. The FAA confirmed Weiser has a history of incidents. Weiser’s tour company, Tora Flight Adventures, was fined $50,000 in 2007 for not having the proper certification to operate commercial tours. It is unclear whether the
The Molokai Dispatch • Mar 12, 2014 •
company is still in operation. In July, 2009, NTSB records show an accident report describing Weiser landing at the airstrip at night and unexpectedly hitting the ground, resulting in structural damage to the aircraft but no injuries to the two people on board. Later that year in December, 2009, the FAA revoked Weiser’s pilot’s license for violations including careless or reckless operation, falsification of logbooks or records, and other regulation infringements. Revocations last for one year, after which time pilots can re-apply. The FAA issued Weiser a private pilot’s license for single engine aircraft and helicopters in July 2012, which he still holds, according to FAA records. However, that license would not cover operation of the twin-engine Partenavia, which crashed last month. Gregor did not
comment on whether any action would be taken on this apparent violation. The NTSB has also not yet determined whether the crash qualifies as an accident or an incident. “The categorization depends on the severity of the damage to the aircraft and whether anyone on board is seriously injured,” said Gregor. News reports have been mixed on whether or not others were on board and may have been injured, and the FAA’s preliminary information does not include these facts. The aircraft’s tail number, N947MZ, is registered to Affordable Casket Outlet in Honolulu, according to FAA records. Weiser is a part owner of the casket company. When the Dispatch called several numbers for Weiser and found they had all been disconnected, Affordable Casket was contacted.

An employee confirmed that Weiser worked there but that he “comes in when he comes in” and would not give a contact number for him. Despite his questionable flight history, some residents have said Weiser has been generous in offering them rides to Honolulu in his planes in the past.

Will
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “There was another life that I might have had, but I am having this one.” So says a character in Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel The Unconsoled. At this juncture in your life story, Aries, it might be healing for you to make a similar declaration. Now is an excellent moment to say a final goodbye to plot twists that you wished would have happened but never did. To do so will free up stuck energy that will then become available for future projects. You may even awaken to exciting possibilities you haven’t imagined yet. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In May 2011, two Nepali men reached the top of Mt. Everest after a six-week climb. Lakpa Tsheri Sherpa and Sano Babu Sunuwar had prepared an unprecedented way to get back down off the mountain. Strapping themselves to a single parachute, they leaped off and paraglided for 45 minutes, landing near a Sherpa village thousands of feet below the summit. I suggest you look around for a metaphorical version of a shortcut like that, Taurus. Don’t do the next part of the journey the same way you did the previous phase. Take a more direct route. Enjoy an alternate adventure. Give yourself a fresh challenge. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Seeking wisdom and chasing after pleasure are polar opposites, right? You must devote yourself to either one or the other, correct? You can be an enlightened servant of the greater good or else an exuberant hedonist in quest of joy, but not both. True? No. No. No. False. Wrong. Here’s the bigger truth: Now and then, grace periods come along when you can become smarter and kinder by exploring the mysteries of feeling really good. Can you guess when the next of these grace periods will arrive for you, Gemini? Here’s the answer: It’s here now! CANCER (June 21-July 22): Humans walked on the moon before anyone ever had the simple idea to put wheels on suitcases. Unbelievable, right? Until 1972, three years after astronauts first walked on the lunar surface, travelers in airports and train stations had to carry and drag wheelless containers full of their belongings. I suspect that a comparable out-of-sequence thing may be going on in your own life, Cancerian. In some ways you are totally up-to-date, and in other ways you are lagging behind. Now would be a good time to identify any discrepancies and start correcting them. Metaphorically speaking, I’d love you to have rolling luggage by the next time you take a journey.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A British researcher poured 300 million facts into a computer program designed to determine the most boring day in history. The winner was April 11, 1954. It was selected because almost nothing important happened except an election in Belgium. I’m wondering if you Libras might reach that level of blah sometime soon. The astrological omens suggest it’s a possibility. And frankly, I hope that’s exactly what happens. You need a break from high adventure and agitated activity. You would benefit from indulging in some downtime that allowed you to luxuriate in silence and stasis. The time has come to recharge your psychic batteries. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You won’t be the recipient of good luck in the coming days. Nor will you experience bad luck or dumb luck or weird luck. No, Scorpio. The serendipitous slew of synchronicities that will slip and slide into your sphere requires a new word, which I have coined for this occasion. That word is “shluck.” Shluck is a cracked yet plucky sort of backwards luck that provides you with an abundance of curious slack. Shluck slings your way a series of happy accidents and curious coincidences that give you experiences you didn’t even realize you needed. To take maximum advantage of shluck’s benefits, you have to dispense with your agendas and drop your expectations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the old fairy tale “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves,” the poor woodcutter Ali Baba is collecting firewood in the forest when he spies a gang of thieves bragging about their exploits. Observing them from a hiding place, he hears them chant a phrase, “open sesame.” This magically unseals the opening to a cave that happens to be full of their stolen treasure. Later, when the thieves have departed, Ali Baba goes to the cave and says “open sesame” himself. The hocus-pocus works. He slips into the cave and steals a bag of gold from the robbers’ plunder. This story has resemblances to an adventure you could enjoy sometime soon, Sagittarius. I suspect you may discover your own version of “open sesame.” It will give you access to a less literal and more legitimate bounty.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your ability to heal rifts and bridge gaps is unusually high. You could connect seemingly irreconcilable elements and forge apparently impossible links. Former allies who have become estranged might be moved to bond again through your compassionate intervention. I’m not promising amazingly miraculous feats of unification, but I’m not ruling them out, either. You have a sixth sense about how to create interesting mixtures by applying LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Have you ever heard of the sas- just the right amount of pressure and offering just the right quatch, also known as bigfoot? You know, one of those big, kind of tenderness. hairy, humanoid beasts that walks upright and lives in dense forests? Scientists assure us that there is no such thing. But AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): My friend Harry said he then they used to say the same thing about the platypus. It wanted to teach me to play golf. “Are you kidding?” I asked was a myth, they declared; a figment of explorers’vivid imag- him incredulously. “The dullest game on the planet?” He tried inations. A duck-billed, egg-laying mammal simply could to convince me that it would provide lots of interesting metanot exist. When the respected British zoologist George Shaw phors I could use in writing horoscopes. “Name one,” I chalclaimed there was indeed such a creature, he was mocked lenged him. He told me that“Volkswagen”is a slang term that by his contemporaries. Eventually, though, the truth emerged describes what happens when a golfer makes an awkward and Shaw was vindicated. I suspect that you Leos will soon shot that nevertheless turns out to be quite good. “Hmmm,” experience an event akin to the discovery and confirmation I replied. “That is exactly the theme I have decided on for the that the platypus is real. Aquarius horoscope.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Kyoka is a Japanese word that PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do you remember being in means a flower reflected in a mirror. I suggest you use it as a your mother’s womb? Probably not. But here’s what I know metaphor to help you understand what’s happening in your about that time: In the first few weeks after you were conlife right now. Here are some clues to jumpstart your rumina- ceived, your body grew at a very rapid rate. Once you were tions. Are you more focused on the image of what you love born, if you had continued to expand and develop with that than on what you love? If so, is there anything wrong with much vigor, you would literally have grown to be as big as a that, or is it perfectly fine? Are you more interested in ephem- mountain by now. So let’s be thankful you slowed down. But eral beauty that you can admire from afar than in tangible I do want to sound an alert and let you know that you are beauty you can actually touch? If so, is there anything wrong currently in a growth spurt with some metaphorical resemwith that, or is it perfectly fine? Should you turn away from a blances to that original eruption. It’s basically a good thing. dreamy surrogate and turn toward the real thing? If so, why? Just be aware that you may experience growing pains.

Tips from the Vet for Your Pet: Tick Diseases By Stewart Morgan Ph.D., D.V.M. | Molokai Humane Society On Molokai, there are two common diseases that you and your pets can catch from ticks. The two diseases are ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis. In people, ehrlichiosis can be fatal almost two percent of the time. Signs in people include fever, muscle pains, headache, fever, vomiting, diarrhea and signs similar to that seen with the flu, according to the Center for Disease Control. Anaplasmosis has similar effects in people, with a one percent mortality (death) rate. The brown dog tick is the tick species that carries and spreads the diseases ehrlichiosis (ehrlichia) and anaplasmosis (anaplasma) on Molokai. We see tons of dogs sick with ehrlichiosis on Molokai. When a tick bites a dog sick with ehrlichiosis, that tick picks up the bacteria. Later on, if that tick bites a healthy dog, that healthy dog will catch the disease. In dogs, the first signs of disease are inappetence (not eating much), fever, weight loss, and weakness. Sometimes, dogs seem to get better from ehrlichiosis on their own after a few days of sickness. After they get better, the dogs can get sick again. When this occurs,
the dog often becomes even weaker and sicker than before. They can begin coughing and have large lymph nodes. They may have a yellow tint to their eyes and gums. Their gums also may look pale because they have lost red blood cells (they are anemic). The disease can affect their joints (arthritis), eyes and brain. Anaplasmosis is similar to ehrlichia in many ways, but most dogs will recover from it on their own after being sick for several weeks. Prevention includes keeping your animal on a good tick preventative and housing them in a clean, tick-free environment. Keeping tall grass and rubbish out of the yard helps greatly. There are also yard treatments that kill ticks and fleas. The same test that we use to test your dog for heartworm every year also tests for anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis. Testing your dog yearly is also advised. If you have problems with ticks on your pets or suspect your dog or cat has a tick disease, please do not hesitate to contact the Molokai Humane Society at 558-0000. These diseases are treatable but extremely common on Molokai. Remember that those same ticks can bite your family and make them sick. Do not hesitate to contact your physician if you suspect you or a family member has one of these diseases. www.comstockhawaii.com

Keiki Design Contest Winner
Little League Celebrates 75 Years
Congratulations to this year’s Keiki Design Contest winner, Kahale Naehu-Ramos! Along with winning a $75 cash prize and the MOM hui hat, his design depicting “Aloha `Aina” will be the featured logo for the Second Annual Grassroots Benefit on Saturday, July 5. Kahale shared that the kalo in his design is a symbol of aloha `aina. “I made two kanaka holding the `o`o where the ha of the kalo should be because our kupuna believed that if we malama `aina the `aina would malama us.” 1st runner up: Kapili`ula Na`ehuRamos ($20 prize) 2nd runner up: Alohalyn Espejo ($15 prize) 3rd runner up: Leihiwahiwa Ritte ($10 prize)

Negative Impacts for North Shore Proposal Aloha, my name is Harrie-Ann Aki, with deep roots on Molokai. I’m writing to let you know and be aware of how Hui Malama O Mo`omomi CBSFA Proposal on the north shore will have a negative impact on our gathering rights. This proposal will also cause a lot of animosity between people who live the life of fishermen, who till today practice our tradition, generation after generation. My boyfriend, my children and I live this life. That’s why I’m writing to save our rights, and I also speak for many people who are on my petition who feel the same way. Keep Molokai, Molokai. I ask that the DLNR make the right decision for us here on Molokai. Please listen to the solution I came up with. My family and I and everyone on my petition oppose this proposal and want to be exempted from any of Hui Malama O Mo`omomi CBSFA proposal rules and regulations and any federal laws that will come in their proposal after they take federal grant money. Those with deep roots should have a lot of say on Molokai. My petition has a lot of signatures from people with deep roots on this island. Today we have good rules and regulations with the DLNR. Enforce more official DLNR workers on this
island. Hawaiians cannot catch each other on our resources from the mountains to the ocean, because it will cause a lot of animosity on our island. Hui Malama O Mo`omomi’s proposal rules and regulations will have a very negative impact on us island people gathering food for our families. Because of the additional regulations they are proposing, it will put more restrictions on gathering rights. If this solution doesn’t work out, please contact me at akialohi@yahoo.com and let me know, because if this solution cannot solve the problem, I will ask the DLNR to please come to Molokai and listen to the people share their mana`o on how their proposal will have a negative impact. I did videotape Hui Malama O Mo`omomi proposal to the community on Jan. 6 and I was going to send DLNR a copy, but I went to edit my video at Akaku and the person in charge of the camera told me it was missing. Hopefully what I say can help save our rights. Much mahalo, Harrie-Ann Aki League President

Most of all, mahalo Ke Akua for being with us from beginning to end, giving us strength to endure, and ho`oko what we set out to do.

Commander Larry H. Helm - Grateful Hearts About eight months ago, on July 27, we celebrated the life of our husband, dad, papa, brother, uncle, cousin, friend and fellow veteran, Commander Larry Helm. It has been a change for all of us. A change in where his physical presence is certainly void. It has also been a solemn time for us all to grieve in a way that may not have allowed us to find the right words to communicate our thank you’s. But as there is a time to cry, a time to laugh, a time to heal and a time for everything, there is also a time for thank you’s. And right now is that time. Thank you, thank you for all your help, support and monetary gifts for Larry’s Celebration of Life, Mass, Birthday
Celebration and Veteran Cemetery Burial. It was a beautiful day spent with memories, love, food, music, dance and fellowship. And it was just the way he would have wanted it. Larry had an amazing gift of human connection and touched so many lives that it would be virtually impossible to thank everyone individually. We are all missing his presence, his spirit, his jokes, his laughter, his music, his leadership, his conversation, his protection, and his support. May we remember him and continue is legacy and work. Mahalo! The Larry Helm Ohana
the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and many of those to come will be seen through his great spirit. Mahalo Mr. Nanod for your support! We look forward to seeing you all at our games and for more information, you may contact us at molokailittleleague@gmail.com. Mahalo! Jonna “Minky” Hoopai League President
Mahalo for Award We are honored to tell all of you, our loyal customers and Molokai community that our business was the proud recipient of the Annette PauoleAhakuelo Molokai 2014 Mayor ’s Small Business Achievement Award. I wanted to share with Molokai my mahalo, since our store wouldn’t be in business without our community. It was humbling to win the award in honor of the late Aunty Annette Pauole -Ahakuelo of Molokai. This award embodies the Aloha spirit that she and Molokai is known for and for that, I am humbled to have Something For Everybody chosen. Molokai is such a special place in the way that we all kako`o and support each other in every aspect of life, even in business. I am so grateful for the support of my community and customers and the fact that in return, I get to not only operate a store front, but touch my customers’ lives whether they are my friends and family that I have been connected to my entire life or a visitor that I have met for the first time. I am given an opportunity to add some Aloha to their day and leave them with a good feeling of Aloha to pass
on. And that’s what makes the difference on Molokai, it’s the Aloha we have for each other, our island, our home. And here on my home, Molokai, I am ever so grateful that our business is recognized with this award as a good and positive presence on Molokai just like Aunty Annette was known for. This award is dedicated to all of my customers to be reminded to continue to spread the Aloha spirit wherever we may go! Mahalo a nui for your continued support, for without you, I wouldn’t have a business but more importantly, I wouldn’t be able to continue to spread Aloha every day. Mahalo also to Jennifer Hawkins of the Kuha`o Business Center and Ku`ulei Arce with MEO for their support with small businesses on Molokai and Aunty Beverly Moore for being there with us that night. Congratulations too to Suzette Kahana of Kalapaki Girl Designs and Noa and Tarrah Horner for their nominations. Mahalo! Wailani Tanaka
