Molokai Basketball All-Stars

even Molokai basketball players were named by The Maui News as some of the top players in the Maui Interscholastic League Division II. The honorary list is compiled by the newspaper every year, after selections are made by MIL coaches. This year, Molokai High sophomore guard Hepuakea Falealii was picked as The Maui News MIL Player of the Year for her division.

Among the four others joining her on the girls all-star first team is Molokai senior forward Ilana Meyer.

On the all-star second team is senior Tiara English and junior Lehiwa Pedro, and their Molokai teammate Taylor Keliihoomalu was given honorable mention.

The Lady Farmers’ basketball coach, Lee DeRouin, was also named D-II Coach of the Year after leading the team to the state semifinals this year.

“I’m happy that the girls get recognized for all their hard work and commitment to the team this year,” said DeRouin. “It makes my job easy… they’re very dedicated -- a great bunch of kids to be around.”

He turned all the credit back to the girls for his own award.

“It’s great that the other coaches recognized me, but it’s a reflection of the kids’ hard work,” he said.

The Maui News all-star teams are selected by MIL coaches, according to the newspaper.

DeRouin is looking forward to another successful season next year, with Falealii returning to the team to build on their progress this year.

“Hepua does a great job of controlling the tempo of the game,” he said of why she was chosen as the league’s best.

“Both defensively and offensively, she’s a

Celebrating Kuhio

he Lanikeha Community Center transformed into a hearty birthday celebration as local vendors, music and entertainment attracted homesteaders and non-homesteaders alike to celebrate the man who led the 1921 Hawaiian Homes Act and the island where his efforts were first put into practice.

“Without the land, who are we?” said Colette Machado, Molokai chairperson of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA). “We would be homeless if we didn’t have a land base or homestead. That’s how significant Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana`ole was.”

Next in line for the throne when the Kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown in 1894, Kuhio was elected as Hawaii’s congressional delegate, advocating for Hawaiian Homes and rehabilitating his people.

According to Machado, the Kalamaula area was considered a demonstration project to the act and became established as the first Hawaiian Homes settlement. After it was deemed successful, it expanded to Ho`olehua, then to different homestead communities statewide.

Today, Molokai has over 25,000 acres and 200,000 acres statewide, which are set aside for the Native Hawaiians through the Department of Hawaiian Homelands, according to the department’s website.

This year’s celebration, organized by Ahapua`a Molokai and honoring Kuhio’s 143rd birthday, brought over 20 local crafters, com-

munity groups and organizations as well as entertainment from the Punana Leo Hawaiian language immersion school, Moana’s hula halau, kupuna groups, and a variety of local bands.

New to the event this year was the Molokai Game Fowl Association, hosting a Poultry Show adjacent to the community center. For bragging rights and a sizable trophy, this year’s grand prizewinner was Kyle Kaiama.

“The Gamefowl Association [is part of] Hawaiian culture, so we incorporated them in Kuhio Day this year, bringing education and awareness to the people and preserving and perpetuating gamefowl on Molokai,” said Lynn Decoite, president of Ahapua`a Molokai and co-organizer of the event.

As the annual event comes around on March 26, granting keiki and makua a day off from school and work, some use this day as a way to pay respect to history.

“It’s important to celebrate Prince Kuhio Day and keep this tradition alive,” said Pa`a Aina, Prince Kuhio Day participant.

Machado urges the community to recall the day and what it means to Native Hawaiians moving into the future.

“We still have challenges [with homelands] today but we’re only going up,” said Machado. “You’ve got to remember…that our voice as native people needs to continue to be lead with priorities on land, water and preservation of our entitlements.”

Rhinoceros Beetle Huge Threat

By Glenn I. Teves | County Extension Agent, UH CTAHR It moved around undetected for almost two years before it was found through a routine survey by University of Hawaii and USDA Plant Protection and Quarantine (USDA-PPQ) officials. The Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB) is one of the largest beetles to invade Hawaii and was discovered in an area surrounding Joint Base Pearl HarborHickam. By that time, it was found in a one mile radius around the base. Red flags were raised in 2007 when it was first found in Guam, an island half the size of Molokai where a major U.S. military base covers half the island. It was only a matter of time before it would catch a direct flight to Hawaii. A dreaded and destructive insect of coconut, the CRB is found in many areas of the Pacific, south Asia, India, Africa, and the Middle East.

The beetle life stages include egg, larvae, pupae, and adult.

Eggs are whitish brown, 1/8 to 3/16 inches, first oblong but growing into a rubbery circle in four to five days. Eggs will hatch in about 12 days and go through three larval stages or instars, maturing into large C-shaped larvae of 2 3/8 to 4 1/8 inches long. The pupae stage will live in soil or organic matter near trees for about 20 days, and will form into a cocoon. Adults will stay in cocoons for another 11 to 20 days to allow their exoskeleton to harden. Females can lay 70 to 140 eggs and will deposit them in logs or in heaps of organic matter.

Adult beetles can range in size from 1 3/16 to 2 ¼ inches. A distinctive

horn curving backward is found on both male and female beetles, but the male horns are larger. Under ideal conditions, three generations can be produced in a year. Decaying coconut wood is a preferred breeding area for this beetle.

The most damage is done during the adult stage by boring into the crowns of healthy coconut palms and penetrating from 3 to almost 20 inches into the cluster of leaves at the top of the tree. They bite through the unopened leaves and will most often injure the main rib of fronds. It will then bore outward again, emerging from the base of a central frond in the crown. The adult beetle will feed on sap produced by the injury. Mature fronds often have patches of missing foliage like they’ve been cut with a scissors to make V-shaped patterns in the fronds, and also holes in the midribs.

Beetles will also feed on breadfruit, mango, kamani, and hala, but coconuts are its preferred host. It has a large host range and, in the absence of the plants list above, will feed on sugar cane, ironwood, taro, banana, pineapple, agave, and many species of ornamental palms, possibly the native Loulu palm.

Natural enemies include rats, pigs, and mongoose, and may also be attacked by certain ant species and other beetles. There’s also a fungus and a virus known to be fatal to this beetle.

If you find this insect or suspect damage by this insect, please contact the Molokai Maui Invasive Species Committee at 553-5236.

Tips from the Vet for Your Pet: Flea Control

By Stewart Morgan, Ph.D., D.V.M. | Molokai Humane Society Fleas cause so many problems for us and our pets. On Molokai, the cat flea is the type of flea that causes the most problems for people, cats and dogs.

In Hawaii, most adult fleas live about a week and a half. A female cat flea lays about 50 eggs in a day, so a female could lay over 400 eggs during her life. The eggs hatch into maggot-like flea larvae in about four days. These larvae eat the parent flea’s feces, which look like little black specks of dried blood. They form cocoons one to two weeks later and then, if conditions are right, become adults about one to two weeks later.

Fleas can spread diseases such as cat scratch disease (Bartenellosis), two types of typhus (murine and cat), and tapeworms (which look like large crawling grains of rice). In cats, panleukopenia (cat parvovirus) can be spread through fleas. Dog parvovirus, which developed years ago from panleukopenia, can probably also be spread by fleas. Severe flea infestations can lead to anemia in small animals.

Flea bites can also cause skin allergies in people and animals.

These allergies can lead to itching and infections caused by scratching. Animals with flea allergies often have scabs and fur loss on the tops of their backs and flanks.

Sometimes their ears are bloody or scabbed from scratching.

Getting rid of a flea problem can be hard and take a long time.

The first step is treating the animal with a good flea preventative that is put on the skin or taken orally. Most of these good preventatives will kill fleas for a month. Many over-thecounter flea collars do not work very well.

Treating the environment the animal lives in is the second step.

This means cutting grass in yards and removing rubbish. Fleas like shady areas, so the more sunlight in the yard, the fewer fleas. Clean and wash areas where the animal sleeps and treat those areas with a good yard pesticide.

Vacuuming the house and areas where the animal sleeps or relaxes is one of the best things one can do to decrease the number of fleas, flea eggs, and larvae. If there is a flea problem in the house, keeping an animal that is on a good flea preventative in the house will both kill the fleas and keep people from getting bitten.

Garlic is toxic to both dogs and cats and does not eliminate fleas, bathing in the ocean does not eliminate fleas, and brewer ’s yeast has never been proven to eliminate fleas. In my opinion, the risks from problems caused by fleas, ticks, and other parasites are much greater than those from a properly used modern flea preventative.

If you have a flea problem or suspect you have a flea problem, there are several products available at the Molokai Humane Society and you can discuss these with me. Flea control can be difficult, but is doable and will keep both you and your pets healthy.

Molokai Battles Back Against Cancer Relay for Life Molokai News Release Walkers will go around the clock in the battle against cancer when the 2014 American Cancer Society Relay for Life Molokai gets underway with teams of residents gathering on August 8 at 6 p.m.

Relay for Life events are held overnight as individuals and teams camp out at the Kaunakakai Ball Park with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track at all times throughout the evening. Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their camp sites during Relay, sporting chili plates/bowls, popcorn, glow sticks, and many more. Relay brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, faith-based groups -people from all walks of life, all aimed at furthering the American Cancer Society’s efforts to save lives by helping people stay well, by helping them get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back.

Follow us on Twitter at @MolokaiDispatch

Celebrating 75 Years for Molokai High School

“Relay is a unique opportunity for our community to come together to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember those we’ve lost, and fight back against the disease,” said Avette Ponce, Molokai’s Relay Chairperson.

“Many of the participants are cancer survivors, which serves as a reminder that Molokai is not immune to this disease and that by participating in Relay, we are joining with the American Cancer Society’s efforts to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays, “ U`i Lima added.

Funds raised at Relay for Life of Molokai are enabling the American Cancer Society to impact the lives of those touched by cancer within the community. Come help fight back against cancer by participating as a team captain, member, or individual during this year’s Relay for Life Molokai event. For more information call Avette Ponce at (808) 658-0327 or U`i Lima at (808) 646-0180 or email relayforlife2013@hotmail.com.

Today still known as the Farmers, MHS continues to perpetuate its long standing motto.

In commemorating this wonderful achievement of 75 years, MHS will be celebrating its anniversary starting May 22-26 on campus the grounds. We’re creating a family fun-filled weekend for all to enjoy.

Registration on campus will be Thursday, May 22 from 8 a.m. till 2 p.m.

Friday May 23 is also the commencement exercise of the graduating class of 2014, gymnasium doors to open at 4 p.m, to be followed by a ho`olaulea starting at 6 p.m. hosted by the classes of 1993 and 1980, in the MHS Sporting Field.

That night will be filled with music, local entertainment, contest for kupuna and youngsters alike -- we’re planning to walk you down memory lane. We’ve got the following space available for those interested: food, craft, jewelry, games and new clothing vendor booths.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In his novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera says that the brain has “a special area which we might call poetic memory and which records everything that charms or touches us, that makes our lives beautiful.” In the coming days, it will be especially important for you to tap into this power spot in your own grey matter, Aries. You need to activate and stir up the feelings of enchantment that are stored there. Doing so will make you fully alert and available for the new delights that will be swirling in your vicinity. The operative principle is like attracts like.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Our ancestors could see the Milky Way Galaxy spread out across the heavens on every clear night. Galileo said it was so bright, it cast a shadow of his body on the ground. But today that glorious spectacle is invisible to us city-dwellers. The sky after sundown is polluted with artificial light that hides 90 percent of the 2,000 stars we might otherwise see. If you want to bask in the natural illumination, you’ve got to travel to a remote area where the darkness is deeper. Let’s make that your metaphor, Taurus.

Proceed on the hypothesis that a luminous source of beauty is concealed from you. To become aware of it, you must seek out a more profound darkness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Dear Gemini: I don’t demand your total attention and I don’t need your unconditional approval. I will never restrict your freedom or push you to explain yourself. All I truly want to do is to warm myself in the glow of your intelligence. Can you accept that? I have this theory that your sparkle is contagious -- that I’ll get smarter about how to live my own life if I can simply be in your presence. What do you say? In return, I promise to deepen your appreciation for yourself and show you secrets about how best to wield your influence. -Your Secret Admirer.”

you teach yourself not merely to tolerate smoldering ambiguity, but to be amused by it and even thrive on it. Can you think of other examples? It’s Soul Work Week for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Are you close to anyone who is a catalytic listener? Is there a person who tunes in to what you say with such fervent receptivity that you get inspired to reveal truths you didn’t realize you knew? If so, invite this superstar out to a free lunch or two in the coming days. If not, see if you can find one. Of course, it is always a blessing to have a heart-to-heart talk with a soul friend, but it is even more crucial than usual for you to treat yourself to this luxury now.

Hints of lost magic are near the surface of your awareness.

They’re still unconscious, but could emerge into full view during provocative conversations with an empathetic ally.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): On my blog, I quoted author Ray Bradbury: “You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.” I asked my readers what word they would use in place of “writing” to describe how they avoided being destroyed by reality. Popular responses were love, music, whiskey, prayer, dreams, gratitude, and yoga. One woman testified that she stayed drunk on sexting, while another said “collecting gargoyles from medieval cathedrals,” and a third claimed her secret was “jumping over hurdles while riding a horse.”There was even a rebel who declared she stayed drunk on writing so she could destroy reality. My question is important for you to meditate on, Scorpio. Right now you must do whatever’s necessary to keep from being messed with by reality.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Does your mother know what you are up to these days? Let’s hope not. I doubt if she would fully approve, and that might inhibit your enthusiasm for the experiments you are exploring. It’s probably best to keep your father out of the loop as well, along with other honchos, cynics, or loved ones who might be upset if you wander outside of your usual boundaries. And as for those clucking voices in your head: Give them milk and cookies, but don’t pay attention to their cautious advice. You need to be free of the past, free of fearful influences, and free of the self CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Cancerian artist Rem- you’re in the process of outgrowing. brandt became one of the world’s greatest painters. It was a struggle. “I can’t paint the way they want me to paint,” he said CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): For the foreseeable future, about those who questioned his innovative approach. “I have I urge you not to spend much time wrangling with bureautried and I have tried very hard, but I can’t do it. I just can’t crats and know-it-alls. Avoid frustrating projects that would do it!” We should be glad the master failed to meet his crit- require meticulous discipline. Don’t even think about catching ics’ expectations. His work’s unique beauty didn’t get watered up on paperwork or organizing your junk drawer or planning down. But there was a price to pay. “That is why I am just a the next five years of your career. Instead, focus on taking long little crazy,” Rembrandt concluded. Here’s the moral of the meandering walks to nowhere in particular. Daydream about story: To be true to your vision and faithful to your purpose, an epic movie based on your life story. Flirt with being a lazy you may have to deal with being a little crazy. Are you willing bum. Play noncompetitive games with unambitious people. to make that trade-off?

Paddlers Inn Transformation There are a lot of wonderful places to eat on the island of Molokai. However, at one of our establishments, Paddlers Restaurant and Bar, a transformation has taken place this year with the addition of head chef Kama and Tammy Hoe, along with patriarch Herbert Hoe. They do the best to use local resources of meat, fish and vegetables for the meals. The menu has changed and specialty nights have been added from Chinese, Aina (local), Italian, seafood and fresh-caught fish, venison and local beef.

The atmosphere of the restaurant has changed with the new solid roof, weekend hostess, reservations and new staff working diligently to serve

you. There are few places you can go in Hawaii to eat this variety of healthy foods with music and no cover charge.

Music ranges from two to three nights of Hawaiian music, one also with Hawaiian story-telling, jazz, country/ big band/60s, hula entertainment and dance music.

If you haven’t made it to Paddlers recently, take it from us, the aloha spirit is alive and well, with great food, a good time, great friends and wonderful music. Hope to see you there!

Aloha, Gladys Stenen and Kimo Dobrancin

The Molokai Dispatch • Apr 2, 2014 •

Need GMO Debate, Not PR In Ghost Busters, a farcical film from 1984, Bill Murray says, “Back off, man! I’m a scientist.” That’s the main message of the Molokai Farm Bureau’s presentation last Tuesday as reported in this paper.

Being off-island, I did not attend but I was alarmed by the report of an informational meeting where the questions asked of the panel prompted the panel to steer the discussion away from the issues and gave them the opportunity to deny that there is a controversy among scientists.

When asked why so many countries have banned GMO products and practices, Dr. Peter Davies stated that, “In many places activists have told the public that biotech is not safe …” Activists may have brought the news to the public, but scientists discovered it. Many worked within the industry at the time they discovered the likely dangers of pesticides and GMOs. And some,

when they spoke publicly about the need for more research, were fired and, in some cases, pursued and persecuted.

Here are a few notable individuals and the scientific institutions where they have done research: Arpad Pusztai, Rowett Institute; Dr Judy Carmen, Flinders University; Amy Dean, D.O. and Jennifer Armstrong, MD, American Academy of Environmental Medicine, G.E. Seralini, University of Caen; and, Tyrone Hayes who was fired from Syngenta because of his frog studies.

The attempt by Monsanto and its team of Ghost Busters to deny the controversy makes a mockery of science. Let us have both Walter Ritte and Ray Foster team up in organizing the next presentation. We need a debate, not PR. Kevin Brown
