Hawaiian Airlines Welcomed Back

Since 1985

Red Cross Volunteer Honored for Dedication

By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

s Hawaiian Airlines officially launched its new service, `Ohana by Hawaiian, to Molokai last week, hundreds of residents and officials celebrated an occasion that for many, felt like a homecoming for the company. “Molokai has been part of our ohana for the last 85 years,” said Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian Airlines (HA) president and CEO. “For the last 10 years, we have not been able to operate here, but every single one of those days in between we’ve been working on plans to bring this wonderful day to fruition. It’s great to be back and have had such tremendous support from this community.” Under sunny skies, a crowd turned out to welcome the aircraft, greeting its arrival with oli and lei from Molokai residents preschool-aged through kupuna. In a purple dress that mirrored the tones of the aircraft’s kapa pattern designed by world-renowned Hilo artist and designer Sig Zane, Molokai’s Aunty Kauila Reyes greeted Zane with a warm hug of old friends. Reyes said she’s known him since he was college classmates with her daughter. “There’s one wahine nui, a special person here, that inspired us,” said Zane of Reyes, remembering the call from Hawaiian Airlines asking him and his son, Kuha`o, to craft the plane’s livery, or distinctive company design displayed on each aircraft. “We were guided by her thoughts and spirit,” he continued, describing his fond and frequent visits to Molokai, where he used to stay with Reyes and her family. Reyes said she first met Zane when he went to college with her daughter. Hawaiian Airlines last flew onto the island in 2004 on a Boeing 717-200 aircraft.

and once [10 years ago.]” `Ohana will be flying routes between Molokai, Honolulu and Lanai, offering three daily flights to the Friendly Isle. Hadden Watt, managing director of `Ohana by Hawaiian, said the company has three aircraft; two will be used in daily operations, while one will be reserved as a spare. Flights are operated by Idaho-based Empire Airlines. Watt garnered a loud cheer from the crowd when he promised timely service. “We hope to bring you a safe, reli-

olokai’s Lester Keanini has traveled across the country, dedicated thousands of volunteer hours and even moved to Maui -- all to support the Red Cross. For this dedication, he was recently awarded the honor of Maui County Volunteer of the Year. The award is based on nominations, said Michele Liberty, Red Cross Maui director, and Keanini got the most nominations. Final selection was made by the Maui Advisory Council. March is Red Cross month, and Liberty said it’s also a time to honor the organization’s many volunteers -- and “Lester’s humble humanitarian, spirit embodies that of the Red Cross mission.” For the past year, she said, Keanini’s been volunteering every day, full time, at Maui Red Cross office. “He does everything,” she said. “He’s become that person our volunteers are used to seeing. He’s always so warm and friendly, Molokai style.” A man of more action than words, Keanini responded to the award by laughing and saying simply, “It’s alright.” Five years ago, Keanini started working with the Red Cross on Molokai and was assigned as Molokai Disaster Team Leader, according to the Red Cross. There were only a few volunteers with the organization on the island at that time. Now, there are nearly two dozen. That’s thanks

Ten years later, the airline returned with a 48-seat ATR-42 and a new name that’s full of meaning. “We quickly settled on the name of `Ohana by Hawaiian because in so many ways it captures the feeling we have towards this community in Molokai,” said Dunkerley. The airline’s history on the island dates back to its beginnings in 1929. “Molokai was the first destination for Hawaiian Airlines in Hawaii,” said Alison Croyle, HA director of external communications. “It stopped twice -- once for war

Middle School Robotics to Go to World Competition By Kaeo Kawaa After starting a robotics program on a trial basis this year, students of Molokai Middle School (MMS) have swept the competition, placing first and third in the state. That qualifies them to compete in the 2014 VEX Robotics World Championship VEX IQ Challenge Division in California next month as well as the International VEX Summer Games in Honolulu. “Making it to the World Tournament is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said MMS boys team member Ilima Ka’awa-Richardson. “Since we started at the bottom, this makes things so much sweeter!” In Hawaii’s inaugural year of VEX IQ Robotics, students use science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills to maneuver their robots to score points. MMS is the only neighbor-island school out of seven in the Hawaii team to be represented at the world competition. As part of the year-long STEM program that started last year at MMS, all eighth grade students were required to construct and modify VEX IQ robots, and compete in qualifying tournaments during their class periods at the school level. Winners were chosen from the top scores of each tournament to become members of the Robotics team, of which one was for boys and the other for girls. They then competed in two state-wide qualifying tournaments, and two State Championship tournaments. In the last State Tournament at McKinley High School on Saturday, March 8, the boys team took third place, and the girls team took first place. Joining Ilima on the boys team are Kreole PawnWhite and Nainoa Kahale. The girls team members are Sherie Kaili, Sarah Tancayo, and Tyreen Tengan. Coaches

are Kumu Kaeo Kawaa, a STEM teacher and Robotics head coach, and Kumu Kahoiwai Kawaa is assistant coach. “This tournament [McKinley] was awesome, and I had the proud feeling that we really accomplished something exciting,” said Sherie. After the MMS VEX IQ Robotics season ended in February, one of seven Hawaii slots for the Worlds opened up, necessitating the last-minute McKinley State Tournament. Having won the McKinley State Tournament, the girls robotics team received two trophies -the Teamwork Champion Award for the highest score in the tournament, and the Excellence Award for the overall tournament winner. “We never expected to make it to state, and now we’re heading to World and International,” said Kaeo Kawaa. “These students have truly become the ‘Cinderella Team,’ and are sought after by, and in company with, nationally and internationally-ranked Hawaii robotics schools. It’s been a crazy but wonderful ride!” Now, with Worlds in Anaheim, California April 23-26 rapidly approaching, the team is busy fundraising to make the trip possible, with estimated travel at $16,000. Since VEX IQ at MMS started in STEM classes, eighth graders are already involved in a Class of 2018 Campaign to donate $1.00 to their fellow classmates and robotics team members in their vie for Worlds and challenge all other MMS and MHS classes to do the same. The team has set up a campaign at GoFundMe.com to help raise funds. Please visit gofundme.com/7kbonk to donate. Those wishing to support the team can also contact Molokai Middle School at 567-6940 or robotics@mms.k12. hi.us, or go to molokaimiddlerobotics. weebly.com.

Donate Items Toward Pono Points Kaunakakai Elementary School has had a Positive Behavior Supports and Interventions (PBIS) program since 2002. This program promotes positive behavior by teaching school-wide expectations and rewarding students for following those expectations. At Kaunakakai School, students are expected to show Kuleana (Responsibility), Laulima (Working Together), and Ho`ihi (Respect) in all settings and are given a pono point if they are “caught being good.” Once a month, students can redeem their pono points for items that are bought or donated. If you are looking to

clean out your house and want to donate new or used items, you may bring them to the Kaunakakai School Office. We take household items, dishes, candles, stuffed animals, ornaments, soaps and shampoos (for all of you travelers with too many mini bottles of lotions and shampoos), picture frames, toys, books, anything that is appropriate for children ages 3-12. We’ve even had students using their pono points to buy gift items for their older siblings or parents! If you have any questions you can call Erin Raguindin at 553-1730. We’d like to thank parents, staff members, and recently a community member who have donated items to our pono point store.

Na Kamaliì Hoaloha Earns National Accreditation Na Kamaliì Hoaloha News Release Na Kamaliì Hoaloha, a small preschool for children ages 3 and 4, is located in Kalamaula at Kalaiakamanu Hou Church. In September, 2013, Na Kamaliì Hoaloha earned accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) – the nation’s leading organization of early childhood professionals. “We’re proud to have earned the mark of quality from NAEYC, and to be recognized for our commitment to reaching the highest professional standards,” said Kathy Bennett, director of Na Kamaliì Hoaloha. “NAEYC Accreditation lets families in our community know that children in our program are getting the best care and early learning experiences possible. At Na Kamaliì Hoaloha we believe it is our responsibility to honor and serve the whole child by establishing a safe, nurturing, and inclusive community, by supporting and encouraging self-directed learning through play, and by fostering a culture that values early childhood.” To earn NAEYC Accreditation, Na Kamaliì Hoaloha went through an extensive self-study process, measuring the program and its services against the ten NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards and more than 400 related Accreditation Criteria. The program received NAEYC Accreditation after an on-site visit by NAEYC Assessors to ensure that the

Local employee Genella Albino said 11 will be operating the Molokai base, and Watt said they’re still building staff and may have a couple more positions opening up. Pilot Rob Fuchs, a captain with Empire who was part of the crew that flew the inaugural flight, said Empire currently has 30 pilots in Hawaii flying for `Ohana and may be hiring more. The new airline’s arrival has been a long time coming. In the fall of 2012, Hawaiian Airlines announced plans to add Molokai and Lanai to its itinerary, originally anticipated to begin last year. The start date was pushed back several times, largely due to 2013 budget sequestration, causing delays in the certification process through the Federal Aviation Administration. When the day finally arrived, it seemed as though the whole island came out to welcome the aircraft, in the words of Zane. “I was shocked at how big a deal it was,” said Reyes, a guest of honor at the celebration. Outwardly a picture of grace and composure, she admitted later she was so nervous that fellow kupuna were talking to her quietly in Hawaiian, telling her, “don’t be afraid.” She called Zane’s livery pattern “beautiful,” adding she could “see myself in the design.” It weaves three kapa patterns: piko, or navel, representing ancestry and progeny; manu, or bird, representing both a bird in flight and the prow of a canoe, the traditional form of migration; and kalo (taro),

program meets each of the ten program standards. “The NAEYC Accreditation system raises the bar for child care centers and other early childhood programs,” said Jerlean E. Daniel, Ph.D, executive director of NAEYC. “Having earned NAEYC Accreditation is a sign that Na Kamaliì Hoaloha is a leader in a national effort to invest in high-quality early childhood education.” In addition to achieving NAEYC Accreditation, Na Kamaliì Hoaloha is building a scholarship fund with a grant from the Samuel N. and Mary Castle Foundation and by restricting funds earned with Friendly Market Center Kokua Cards. The Na Kamaliì Hoaloha Òhana Scholarship will provide small financial aid scholarships to those of our families that don’t qualify for other tuition subsidies. If you would like to participate, there are Kokua Cards available at the school. Tax deductible donations to the fund are welcome and can be mailed to P. O. Box 1527, Kaunakakai, HI 96748. April 6-12 is the Week of the Young Child. The theme for the 2014 Week of the Young Child is “Early Years Are Learning Years.” Na Kamaliì Hoaloha will hold a series of workshops geared toward strengthening families. For more information about NAEYC Accreditation, visit naeyc.org/academy, and to learn more about Na Kamaliì Hoaloha, email admin@nakamaliihoaloha.org.

ciation [HHSAA] Championships. Considered the best season in Molokai tennis yet, according to Dean, he said he’s confident this year’s team has potential to beat that record. This season celebrates seven returning seniors and welcomes five freshmen as part of 13 players on the boys team and seven on the girls side. Dean said he’s trying to gather numbers, as other academic commitments have left the girls with an incomplete competitive roster, losing by default in past games this season. “For the girls, we’re hoping to get them going on their serves and returns while getting them some exposure and experience in competition,” said Dean. The team also welcomes five assistant coaches who will take part in practice and training. With about one coach to four players, that means each player will get more serves, returns, and volleys, which can make all the difference, said Dean. “You can already see the skill difference between our beginners and beginners on other teams,” said Dean. “That’s 100 extra balls our players are hitting during practice other players aren’t.” So far, the team is off to a promising start, winning their first scheduled matches against Maui Prep and Lahainaluna. Their next match is scheduled March 28, at St. Anthony’s.

Boys Volleyball With a few matches already under their belt, this year’s boys volleyball team is suiting up with two seniors, four sophomores and five freshmen. “Last year we had a great team and a lot of older players,” said second-year coach Hale Domingo. “This year, it’s totally different. I have one senior in his first year [in the sport], the other is in his third year...so the leadership is pretty much bouncing all over the place right now.” Domingo said this season, he’s also approaching the team with a new coaching style. “Last year, I learned anything can happen and the thing I need to work on this year is adjusting on the fly,” said Domingo. “Volleyball is such a quick sport. The game can just get away from you so this season I’m watching them play and adjusting our mistakes as they happen.” So far in the season, the Division II team played off-island two weeks ago, competing against Baldwin, Lahainaluna and Kamehameha Maui. They also played at home this past weekend against Maui High. After four defeats, Domingo said it has been a good first few experiences for the boys and good way to see what they need to focus on for future competition.

representing family. Along with Reyes, Zane gave credit to his son for making the design come together. “I grew up [on homestead land] in Hilo right next to the airport…” said Kuhaò Zane. “For me, when I stand in my yard and I get to tell my nieces and nephews when they look up at the plane, that that’s a Hawaiian story on the plane, that’s what really matters to me. So this is not necessarily for me or for my dad, this is for the keiki of Molokai.” In keeping with the airline’s Molokai inspiration, kupuna Julia Hoe offered one ukulele to keep in each plane. “We wanted to honor Aunty Kuùlei Perez… [who told us], ‘Continue to play the music and don’t let it die,’” said Hoe. “This is why we want to make sure each airplane has a ukulele on board. I don’t want you to keep it on your airplane to get dusted -- I want you to bring it out and jam.” With Island Air discontinuing service to Molokai April 1, Òhana by Hawaiian’s arrival came at a good time, according to some residents. “They’re saving us from not having a job after Island Air leaves, which we’re very grateful for,” said a Molokai TSA employee. One change will come for those wishing to check bags through to the mainland, which first requires inspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. On Molokai, USDA employees are only available to inspect baggage in the morning, and Òhana by Hawaiian has said they will not be able to hold the bags if passengers are leaving on an afternoon or evening flight. Meanwhile, Òhana officials have promised to work with Molokai to provide residents with reliable service. “Our pledge to you is we intend to be good neighbors, we intend to be supportive of this community, we intend absolutely to reconnect Molokai to its own ohana elsewhere in our island community and… around the world,” said Dunkerley. Reyes said she plans to fly on Òhana in the next week -- and added she will definitely play the ukulele on board.

“There’s a lot to learn, but I’ve noticed they’re very emotional,” said Domingo. “When things go bad, things go very bad quickly, and when they go right, they really go right. You can see it all on their faces.” Domingo said as a coach, he hopes to help the team learn how to stay cool on the court and to keep optimistic even if the game doesn’t go as planned. “I’m always trying to look at the bright side of things,” he said. “I’m going to keep encouraging them and control what comes out of their mouth, always keeping them positive.” Excited for the upcoming season, Domingo asks the community to come out and support the team in the upcoming home games.The team will host a series of games in the Barn against King Kekaulike March 28, Maui High March 29, and Hana in April.

Track Though last year’s track team didn’t bring any state qualifiers, the Farmers proudly represented Molokai in the MIL Championships, placing eighth on the girls’ side and ninth on the boys. “We had a pretty decent team last year,” said Coach Jessie Ford, praising the 100, 400 and 1500 meter, 300 hurdles, and relay athletes. “We had a bunch of newer kids and a few finalists in the MILs.” Twenty-two athletes make up the roster this year, with a good spread of athletes showing promise in high jump, discus, 300 hurdles, 400 meter, and 4x4 relay, according to Ford. Narrowing this season’s focus on the shorter races, Ford said she hopes to bring a few mid-distance runners, who have ran the 3,000-meter in the past, down to the 800 event. “The 800 is for the athletes that have more endurance but can start strong,” said Ford. To prepare them, Ford said she’ll have the athletes do several repetitions of 200 to 300-meter sprints to boost their speed. “Every season is a little different.” said Ford, who started coaching MHS track in 2009. “I’m always trying to change what I do because you always find new training techniques and different ways to coach a team.” Though weather conditions cancelled a portion of last week’s Kamehameha relays on Maui, Ford said some of the top results of the weekend were Keao Ross, placing eighth in the 400 meter, and Rebecca Adolpho earning third in discus. “I thought it set a good pace,” said Ford. “Everybody got to compete before it rained and for some of them, it was their first time racing on the tack. It was a good primer of what we need to work on in training.” The next meet is scheduled for March 22 at Maui High School.

in large part to Keanini’s recruitment efforts, as well as free disaster training offered on Molokai last year. “Through his passion and hardwork, Lester was able to increase the Molokai disaster team, successfully lead and support his team during disaster responses, and engage volunteers with preparedness projects and community disaster educational events,” read a Red Cross statement. When the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami caused damage to homes on Maui and Molokai, Lester and his team identified 25 families who needed Red Cross assistance and ensured their immediate needs were met. In 2012, Lester deployed to his first Red Cross national disaster response for Hurricane Isaac where he delivered supplies and assisted with shelter management. His service offered inspiration for current and new volunteers. Molokai resident Halona Kaopuiki was one of the newly trained

Red Cross volunteers in last year’s class. “When I saw Lester Keanini helping victims on the news in Louisiana, it made me feel proud to see a Molokai boy volunteering his services away from home,” said Kaopuiki, in a Red Cross news release. “So I am grateful to be involved with this program and hope to continue and move forward.” Currently on Maui, Keanini coleads the organization’s logistics team, monitoring inventory, moving supplies and providing logistical support. “As soon as everythings on a level flow, maybe I’ll go home,” he said. In the meantime, he dedicates his time to building up the organization and supporting Molokai’s team of volunteers, who are always at the ready in case of disaster. The last time they were activated was during Tropical Storm Flossy last July, when volunteers on Molokai opened the island’s shelters.

Molokai USDA Employee Awarded

Hawaii Invasive Species Council News Release

Back by popular demand and part of a statewide tour, Jeffers’ traveling classroom stopped on Molokai last week, bringing an entertaining and interactive learning performance to children pre-kindergarten to fifth grade from a variety of schools. Keiki laughed, ooh-ed and ahh-ed as Jeffers took them on a journey of the imagination. “It was wonderful,” said Teon Sawyer, second grade education assistant at Kilohana School. “I think the kids enjoyed going into the whale and listening to the whale sounds the most.” The performance included speaking to whales by listening to recordings of their sounds, learning anatomy by practicing breathing out of a pretend blow hole, as well as singing songs and reciting a new pledge of allegiance to learn about the whales’ place in the ocean and the importance to care for the environment. “I pledge allegiance to the earth and to all the life that she supports. One planet, in our care, irreplaceable, with sustenance and respect for all,” said a group of first and fourth graders, repeating after Jeffers during a morning performance. Founder of the Storybook Theater,

During Hawaii Invasive Species Awareness week that started on Monday, March 3, Molokai U.S. Department of Agriculture employee Chevalier “Chevy” Levasa was recognized as the Maui Nui MVP for 2014. State representatives and senators presented a variety of awards to those who lead the fight against invasive species, including 2013 Community Hero, 2013 Hottest Hotline Report to 643-PEST, 2013 Business Leader, Greatest Hit of 2013 and MVPS’s from each county in the state. Declaring that “invasive species pose the single greatest threat to Hawaii’s health, environment, economy, and people” Governor Neil Abercrombie praised the award recipients for their dedication to protecting Hawaii. Levasa’s award was presented by Sen. J. Kalani English. As a U.S. Department of Agriculture APHIS PPQ Plant Health Safeguarding Specialist on Molokai, Levasa is responsible for screening luggage for passengers departing for the mainland and working with local farmers and growers to en-

sure compliance for fruits and vegetables exported to the mainland. Unofficially, she’s is part outreach specialist, field crew, agricultural inspector, and planter of butterfly gardens. She’s done surveys for the University of Hawaii and Hawaii Department of Agriculture for invasive species, not because it was in her job title, but because she sees protecting Molokai as her kuleana. Levasa has worked with local coffee growers and Young Brothers to develop protocols to prevent the introduction of coffee berry borer. “On Molokai, everyone has to wear more than one hat. The focus is on protecting our island, and it’s nice when we can call one another or send a text, hop in the car and go do it,” Levasa said. “It’s the pride of taking care of where you live and what it means. I just do it because it’s the right thing to do. I just follow my heart.”

Continued From pg. 1

a nonprofit performing arts group for children based on Kauai, Jeffers studied early education and drama at UH Manoa. Working with Australian fabric artist Evelyn Roth, who designed the nylon sea creatures in 1997, Jeffers has taken the inflatable whales on tour across the state and throughout the Midwest. Jeffers said he chose to teach about whales because of their prevalence to the islands and the excitement they bring to those who view them. He said he sees whales as an important subject because they’re challenged in today’s environment including navigating through heaps of rubbish accumulating in the ocean as well as the effects of climate change. “Education is what changes things,” said Jeffers. “…It takes a generation to bring about change and if we start with education and focus on education, then things will change and become how we want to see [the planet].” In the future, Jeffers hopes to take his performance across the Pacific, always involving lessons encouraging keiki to problem-solve and achieve what others might see as impossible. “They don’t know that they can’t do it,” said Jeffers. “If you tell them, ‘Oh, you can’t talk to whales,’ then they believe you. Leave the possibility open to them so when they grow up, they’ll do it. That’s the idea behind imagination.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In T. S. Eliot’s poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” the narrator seems tormented about the power of his longing. “Do I dare to eat a peach?” he asks. I wonder what he’s thinking. Is the peach too sweet, too juicy, too pleasurable for him to handle? Is he in danger of losing his self-control and dignity if he succumbs to the temptation? What’s behind his hesitation? In any case, Libra, don’t be like Prufrock in the coming weeks. Get your finicky doubts out of the way as you indulge your lust for life with extra vigor and vivacity. Hear what I’m saying? Refrain from agonizing about whether or not you should eat the peach. Just go ahead and eat it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “When you plant seeds in the garden, you don’t dig them up every day to see if they have sprouted yet,” says Buddhist nun Thubten Chodron. “You simply water them and clear away the weeds; you know that the seeds will grow in time.” That’s sound advice for you, Aries. You are almost ready to plant the metaphorical seeds that you will be cultivating in the coming months. Having faith should be a key element in your plans for them. You’ve got to find a way to shut down any tendencies you might have to be an impatient control freak. Your job is simply to give your seeds a good start and provide them with the persistent follow-up SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Born under the sign of Scorpio, Neil Young has been making music professionally care they will need. for over 45 years. He has recorded 35 albums and is in the TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Thank you, disillusionment,” Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In early 1969, three of his most says Alanis Morissette in her song “Thank U.” “Thank you, famous songs popped out of his fertile imagination on the frailty,” she continues. “Thank you, nothingness. Thank you, same day. He was sick with the flu and running a 103-degree silence.” I’d love to hear you express that kind of gratitude in fever when he wrote “Cowgirl in the Sand,”“Cinnamon Girl,” the coming days, Taurus. Please understand that I don’t think and “Down by the River.” I suspect you may soon experience you will be experiencing a lot of disillusionment, frailty, noth- a milder version of this mythic event, Scorpio.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The Google Ngram Viewer is a tool that scans millions of books to map how frequently a particular word is used over the course of time. For instance, it reveals that “impossible” appears only half as often in books published in the 21st century as it did in books from the year 1900. What does this mean? That fantastic and hard-toachieve prospects are less impossible than they used to be? I don’t know, but I can say this with confidence: If you begin fantastic and hard-to-achieve prospects sometime soon, they will be far less impossible than they used to be.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Every now and then, you’re blessed with a small miracle that inspires you to see everyday things with new vision. Common objects and prosaic experiences get stripped of their habitual expectations, allowing them to become almost as enchanting to you as they were before numb familiarity set in. The beloved people you take for granted suddenly remind you of why you came to love them in the first place. Boring acquaintances may reveal sides of themselves that are quite entertaining.

Global Art Project for Peace By Heather Williams, ArtAloha! The Global Art Project for Peace from March 12 to April 11 is an art project for Molokai to participate in a global art exchange. Participants around the world – adults and keiki, individuals and groups – are invited to join in a multicultural celebration of global peace and goodwill through art. Anyone can participate in any artistic media including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, literary works, musical and performing arts. The project connects people of diverse cultural backgrounds, providing exposure to new ideas and a feeling of connection to the Whole. We all share one race: the human race. ArtAloha! is coordinating Molokai in three groups at Maunaloa, Kalaupapa and Ho`olehua with three different locations across the world. We will create and exhibit our art, and then exchange our art with partners from other communities. Our world partners will send their art to Molokai to be on exhibit. Global Art Project for Peace invites individuals and groups to create an artwork alone or in collaboration. We will also be creating a collaborative group piece with each site. In Maunaloa there are two collaborative pieces: an interactive sculpture and a found-object mural. Kalaupapa will have a photographic collaboration, and Ho`olehua, a painting project. Each site also has individual artworks and hands of peace. If you have art materials please bring them to use or share. Art materials will be provided for all. Donations are appreciated but not required. Artists, crafters and practitioners are encouraged to create a small work of

art that reflects Global Peace, Culture or Goodwill. You may work in the studio with others or on your own and donate to participate in this community event and exchange. Wednesdays are open studio at ArtAloha! This month we will focus on visions of peace and goodwill through art while creating a visual literacy. We will also focus on showing another culture the peace we find living on Molokai within the aina, culture and inner peace, as well as what it means to show goodwill, be a friend and treat people with respect. We celebrate diversity by focusing on a shared concept of peace. I will provide assistance with concepts and techniques to create your vision on peace to those who wish the lessons; you may contribute on your own as well. During spring break, I will travel to various locations. Tuesday, March 18 will be Kualapu`u from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Kaunakakai from 2 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 19, I will be in Maunaloa from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, March 20 I will be in Halawa at 10 a.m. and in Puko`o at 3 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Wednesday March 26 will be open studio from 10 a.m to 5 p.m. Artwork will be fine-tuned March 26 to April 11. Art is accepted through Friday April 11 with an opening art exhibition on April 11-12. Games and pupus are provided. Since 1994, the project has brought together thousands of people in local communities who have come together to create, exhibit and then send their artwork off to form a global community. Contact Heather Williams for information at 658-0124 or artalohamolokai@hom, or visit globalartproject.org.

Article Not ‘Nice’ One of the things that has stayed with me since I was a little girl was my grandma instilling in me that, “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”. This has served me well and I have always felt it was the philosophy of the Molokai Dispatch as well. The article in last week’s Dispatch on John Weiser and his hard landing on his private airstrip last week was far from “nice.” The article could have at least expressed some concern as to his well-being and loss of a beautiful aircraft due to weather. I have personally seen his very current Commercial, multi-engine, helicopter and instrument rated license and FAA medical 2nd Class (Commercial) certificate and have flown with him on many occasions. He has flown for over 50 years and has over 25,000 pi-

lot hours logged and relatively speaking, has had amazingly few “incidents”! The only thing good or truthful about that article was the way the anonymous witness was represented- biased, inflammatory, nosey and negative. Come on Dispatch, in all the years that I have been reading your paper, this was the most slanderous, erroneous and negative article I have read and I think that an apology should be made as well as a retraction until you get your facts straight. I sincerely hope that you take this to heart and keep our only newspaper factual.

Response from the editor:

Lacking in West Molokai Plane Crash” came directly from FAA records, an FAA spokesperson, or the NTSB. We always try to include both sides of the story, but in this case, our efforts to contact Mr. Weiser were unsuccessful. We will print a follow-up and any clarifications or corrections necessary as more information becomes available.

Thank you for your letter; we always appreciate community feedback. The philosophy of the Dispatch seeks to minimize harm and highlight the community’s many positives. Unfortunately, however, not all news is “nice,” and we strive not to shy away from printing challenging issues based on this qualification alone. Aside from the resident quoted, the information printed in “Facts

Thanks, Nan Walters
