olokai’s first stoplight installed at the Kawela Stream Bridge construction site was only directing traffic for two weeks. As of Friday before going to press, Goodfellow Bros. Project Engineer Clayton Morrell said the traffic light is scheduled to be removed on Monday. “It was only there so we could pave the west-bound lane and shoulder,” said Morrell. “[During that time] we had to shift to one-lane traffic.” Contractor Goodfellow Bros. is putting the final touches on the state Department of Transportation (DOT) bridge project before scheduled completion at the end of July. The next big change drivers will notice is a shift in traffic from the curved, detour route to traveling over the new bridge, said Morrell. In the next three to four weeks, workers will finished the concrete lining of the stream bed under the structure and slowly remove the detour bridge. Finally, the last of the paving will be completed in mid-July, he said. Morrell asked drivers to remember that even with the stop light removed, there still may be some delays and periods during which workers will need to control traffic flow. And, as long as construction is underway, the speed limit in the area remains at 25 miles per hour. Reactions to the temporary traffic light ranged from interest -- photos of the novelty on Facebook and Instagram abounded -- to annoyance that the island, known for no stop lights, would finally break tradition, even if temporarily. Construction on the new bridge began in 2012 and was scheduled for completion in January of this year. However, lapses in state permits caused months of delays. The new bridge will be almost 20 feet wider than the former bridge, allowing for a 10-foot wide shoulder on each side of the highway, according to DOT officials. The height of the new bridge will be higher above water level to accommodate frequent flooding of the Kawela Stream, and the streambed under it will be lined with concrete to protect the banks from erosion and facilitate maintenance. The $6.1 million bridge project is 80 percent federal and 20 percent state-funded, according to Caroline Sluyter, DOT public information officer.

olokai residents experienced a shake-down last Friday, when a 4.1 magnitude earthquake originating about eight miles west-southwest of Kualapu`u was felt around the island at 4:42 p.m. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earthquake Hazards Program rates the perceived shaking of earthquakes on a “ShakeMap” system, and on a scale of 1 to 10, this earthquake was listed as a six, or “strong.” “The ceiling track lights broke and fell on me and the kids,” Molokai Dispatch Facebook fan Nichol Helm Kahale of Kualapu`u wrote on the page. Around the island, residents shared their reactions, noting the quake’s intensity. Renee Beihl of Kawela wrote, “[It] rattled my windows and my little computer desk wobbled for four to five seconds,” while Ilima Davis in Kalae reported that her house shook. Even residents of West Maui and parts of Oahu shared the shakes.

No threat of a tsunami resulted from the tremor, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, nor were any major damages reported. Originally reported by the USGS at a magnitude of 3.8 off the north shore of Molokai, the quake was one of five with magnitudes greater than four in the last 25 years north of Molokai, Hawaii News Now reported. According to the USGS, the quakes are likely resulting from the Earth’s crust and mantle adjusting to the weight of the islands on top of it. A smaller tremor of 2.8 magnitude originating about 7 miles west northwest of Kualapu`u was also felt by some the following morning at 6:15 a.m. Historically and geologically, the largest and most frequent earthquakes in the state occur on Hawaii Island near active volcanoes. Since 1868, approximately 29 quakes of magnitude six or greater have occurred on Hawaii Island, while seven such magnitude events have occurred northwest of Hawaii from the Maui area to Molokai,

according to a 1998 USGS study. The largest earthquake recorded in Hawaii was in 1868 with a magnitude of 7.9 in the Ka`u District of Hawaii Island. It caused 77 deaths -- 46 from a resulting tsunami and 31 from landslides, according to the USGS. While most historically significant earthquakes have been in Hawaii Island, one near Lanai in 1871, magnitude 6.8, caused severe damage on Lanai, Molokai and Maui. “On Molokai, in the Pukoo area, the earth opened for a distance of several meters; stone houses in the area cracked in every direction. A 1.5-meter-deep hole opened in the ground at Pukoo,” according to USGS records, also noting significant damage at Kalauaaha. Hundreds of small earthquakes are reported in Hawaii every year. In the last seven days alone, for example, the USGS has recorded 53 earthquakes in the state, ranging from 0.4 to 4.1 magnitude, with all except three on Hawaii Island.

magine this: A destructive hurricane is spotted in the Central Pacific Ocean south of Molokai with wind speeds of more than 100 miles per hour. Once it hits land, the hurricane delivers a storm surge of destructive winds that leave many residents without electricity, shelter, food or water -- and wipes out the island’s communication systems. On Molokai last week, participants in statewide hurricane preparedness exercises run by the Hawaii State Civil Defense (HSCD), engaged in communication systems training and practiced emergency procedures in case this scenario becomes reality. The annual HSCD training, called Makani Pahili, consists of drill tests that improve disaster readiness for first responders on each island. Although Makani help of the California Air National Guard.

he unearthing of time capsules at the 75th anniversary of Molokai High School, held last month, brought back many memories. Pictured here are staff and faculty in 1989 from a photo buried at the 50th anniversary. A letter dated May 26, 1989 from thenprincipal Clifford Horita expressed wishes from the past. “When this message is read in the year

2014, we want to wish all of you greetings from 1989,” he wrote. “I hope that Molokai’s ‘friendliest spirit” still exist in 2014 as it is existing today. We wish all of you a successful 75th celebration.” The letter was carefully wrapped in plastic, along with many other memorabilia, including the May 1989 Anniversary and Senior Special Edition of Ke Kukui `O Molokai, the student newspaper of the high and intermediate schools. The publication highlighted the 50th anniversary activities, campus news and student achievements.

nursing program on Oahu is working towards bringing diversity into the medical field. It’s not only lifting disadvantaged students out of poverty and onto a pathway towards nursing, but it will soon provide services on Molokai. According to the Windward Community College (WCC) website, Native Hawaiians make up 29 percent of the state population, but only 3.5 percent of the Registered Nurse (RN) workforce. Jamie Boyd, one of the first Native Hawaiian RNs in the state to earn a PhD, said she was frustrated by the lack of Hawaiian representation in nursing classrooms. To address this disparity, Boyd took action and in 2007 started the Pathway Out of Poverty nursing program at Oahu’s WCC to help Native Hawaiians become registered nurses. “Even though Hawaii had a thousand-year history of caring for ourselves, [health practices] went to the university and far away from the elders and the land,” said Boyd, program coordinator at WCC. “The ideal future for the program is to institutionalize indigenous healthcare in the University of Hawaii (UH) system and to share what Hawaii can do as a leader of indigenous healthcare.” About 11 members of Pathway -nursing students and instructors alike -- visited the Molokai Community Health Center (MCHC) on May 29 to talk story and share their journey. A video about the program was shown during the presentation and was produced by Molokai’s own Matt Yamashita with OiwiTV. “I was so inspired by their personal story and by their commitment and what they represent,” said Yamashita, director of Quazifilms Media and MCHC Board of Directors president. “When they said they wanted to come to Molokai, I was excited for what they could share with us.” Yamashita said that he hopes there will be a long-term partnership between the MCHC and the Pathway program. “[The Pathway] can learn from us and we can definitely learn from [Pathway],” Yamashita said. “You guys have evolved and opened the doors and hopefully we can do the same thing.” Pathway provides health career training to disadvantaged students for careers as Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), Registered Nurses (RNs) and other healthcare professions. The program helps students advance in health careers and earn living-wage jobs to eliminate poverty and increase Native Hawaiians in nursing, Boyd said.

Medicine and the Aina What sets the culturally-based Pathway apart is its concentration on incorporating traditional Hawaiian practices and values into nursing, Boyd said. In addition to pursuing their nursing degrees the students regularly volunteer at the Lunalilo Home for kupuna, organize community service projects and maintain a community garden at the WCC campus, Boyd said.

“We’re building leadership skills that no other western nursing school teaches,” said Sharmayne Kamaka (CNA) and Chair of the Pathway program. “The mixture between Native Hawaiian values and culture and western medicine is not doubted and I feel we have to revitalize it.” Pathway uses a cultural and holistic approach for healing others through Hawaiian practices that perpetuates the legacy of kupuna and ties people back to the aina, Kamaka said. Pathway students volunteer weekly in the program’s garden as part of their Seed to Plate curriculum. “The community garden is here to teach kupuna medicine,” said Pathway nursing student Noe Hoapili. “You are what you eat.” Hoapili said that in addition to gaining a relationship with the land, the garden connects the nursing students with the community and teaches the value of malama aina to grow food. “It’s reconnecting [patients] with their kupuna, to their ancestors, and hopefully it will get them to be able to take a more wholesome approach to nursing,” Hoapili said.

Molokai A Role Model Boyd said she began Seed to Plate so students could use the garden to harvest foods and teach patients preventative methods to stay healthy through their diet. Although this idea is just taking off on Oahu, another Hawaiian island is paving the way for traditional and sustainable living, said Program Director at Waikiki Health Center Francine Dudoit, RN. “Molokai is an ideal role model,” Dudoit said. “Where the community is mandating you on what they would like to see. I look here and I marvel and I am so proud of Molokai.” Dudoit said it was important for nursing students to come to Molokai and learn what the community has been doing for years to perpetuate the Hawaiian culture. “Coming to Molokai has been very inspirational,” said nursing student Annette Pakele-Chang. “Seeing that what we want is what the community is already doing. It was important for us to start here because we see it happening and we see it working.” The Pathway helps about 50 Native Hawaiians and other at-risk students become CNAs each year. About three quarters of the students pursue higher education courses to become RNs, Boyd said. But no matter where students end up in their career paths, the concept of ohana has taught them to support one another and move forward as one unit. “Our Pathway is like an ohana,” Pakele-Chang said. “We support each other because we know that’s the only way we’re going to survive. We’re going to take care of each other.” Pathway Out of Poverty hopes to partner with the MCHC in the future and send nurses in the program to work on Molokai.

Summer Salads By Glenn I. Teves, County Extension Agent, UH CTAHR

Lettuce is one of the oldest garden plants and is always the essence of a summer salad, but finding high quality lettuce during our hot Molokai summers can be a challenge due to less than ideal growing conditions. There are between 50 and 75 lettuce species, and was first cultivated by the Egyptians for oil from its seeds. There are several lettuce types, but the three most common include leaf, crisphead and romaine. These can be crossed with each other to create an array of leaf types, shapes, and textures. Often described as a low-nutrient vegetable, crisp-leaf lettuce is one of the richest vitamin sources of choline, as essential brain nutrient related to focus. Its Latin name Lactuca or Lac means “milk” due to its characteristic milky sap. This milk is believed to contain sedatives, including Lithium, and some cultures consume them at the end of the meal to make them sleepy. Of the lettuce varieties, looseleaf types are reputed be the most nutritious, as they receive lighter and are often more fully-pigmented with green, yellow and red antioxidants. Lettuce is also a good source of Vitamin A and potassium. Native to a large area from the Mediterranean to Siberia, most lettuce evolved in areas with hot days and cool nights. The Hawaiian summer climate can be quite variable, but hot days and warm nights are usually the norm with a wide range of humidity. These warm night conditions in particular do not allow plants to rest and recover from hot days, resulting in a breakdown of the plants internal system. These conditions create undue stress on lettuce such as tip burn on leaf edges, bolt-

ing or early flowering, and the accumulation of milk causing bitterness. Tip burn is caused by a combination of stress conditions resulting in a calcium deficiency causing tips to leaves to die, and is especially prevalent in crisp head types. Minimizing the stresses of summer include planting in shady areas, installing a screen over plants, and misting plants to slow their metabolic rate, or harvesting when young and planting heat-tolerant varieties. Many lettuce varieties will purport to be heat-tolerant, but may not make the cut in Molokai’s brutal tropical summers. Heat-tolerance implies that the variety can withstand early bolting and tip burn, and still have a good taste. Adequate water and essential nutrients are also important in keeping plants healthy and thriving. Batavian types, also known as Summer Crisp or French Crisp are among the most heat tolerant, have thickened leaves, are large-framed, and also well-flavored. Batavian varieties include Sierra, Nevada, Mottistone, Magenta, Concept, Cimarron, Muir, Cherokee, Tahoe, Teide and others. Other heat-tolerant lettuces include Rex, Ostinata, Jericho, Helvius, Salvius, Buttercrunch, Anuenue, Manoa, Kauwela, and Tropicana. More screening of varieties in the dog days of our Hawaiian summer may reveal more heat-tolerant lettuce varieties adapted to our diverse climate. We export more than 85 percent of the lettuce we consume, mostly from California and Arizona, and growing our own lettuce can ensure freshness and high quality, and is another step to food security. Plus, you cannot beat freshly picked sweet lettuce, chilled for a while, and eaten at the peak of perfection!

done,” said Maui County Fire Inspector Rick Schonely at Kaunakakai Fire station. “Molokai is unique because we are kind of separated from the other infrastructures on the bigger islands. This type of situation with the Air Guard coming in and providing this service is extremely important.” With summer almost officially here, emergency responders, government agencies and citizens across the state must brace for the devastation hurricane season can bring. The Central Pacific hurricane season began on June 1 and ends November 30, said Daryl Kinney, Master Sergeant of the California Air National Guard in the 147th Combat Communications Squadron. “For this scenario [the HSCD] has the hurricane hitting very south and streaming right through every island,” Kinney said. “Now in the past, no hurricane has done that, so it’s a long shot. It is catching every island so every island gets a play in this important exercise.” Last Wednesday, the National Guard unit, which came to Molokai from San Diego, Calif., brought two communication systems to Kaunakakai Fire Station, creating a command center. Molokai fire fighters, police officers and members of the Emergency Action Committee gathered with the squadron to learn about the systems and do drill tests at five workstations. One system is called a Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) that will be housed at the fire department. According to Alex Bivin Senior Airman, the fire department can deploy the small, batterypowered box system in a matter of 15 minutes which will power one computer with Internet access and an emergency telephone. The system can be set up anywhere on the island or offshore because it runs on a satellite feed, Bivin said. Maui County currently has four BGAN systems to be used be in civil defense. “It’s specifically designed for disaster and really expeditious communication,” Bivin said. “This isn’t super in-depth and technical so it was easy. These guys [Molokai firefighters] got it pretty quick, but it was made to be that simple and quick, so the training went really well.” The second contraption looked like a series of large TV screens strung together with a massive switchboard of buttons, lights and knobs. Called a Joint Incident Site Communications Capability (JISCC), the system is provided to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region 9, which includes all of Hawaii and the West Coast. The JISCC system belongs to the National Guard. The JISCC allows first responders

on separate islands to continue communicating with each other across the state, Kinney said. With the loss of landlines, cell phone service and Internet, the system brings those devices back to life — a critical capability for the island chain. According to Kinney, first responders would be able to talk and email with anyone else who is linked into the system — via satellite or high-frequency radio airways. The system is capable of connecting 15 laptops with video teleconference capabilities. The system will handle NIPRNet, (Non-secure Internet Protocol Router Network), a type of military Internet, Kinney said. If another army unit comes to provide aide, the NIPRNet will provide them with the military network separate from the commercial network that is given to first responders. Currently, one JISCC is allocated for use throughout Maui County and is housed on Maui. The system brought to Molokai will return to Calif. after Makani Pahili is completed. Kinney said in the event of a hurricane, a JISCC can be flown over to Molokai. “If only Molokai had an issue and needed this equipment, [FEMA] would deploy their equipment over here via helicopter to bring it in,” Kinney said. If Maui, Molokai and Lanai are all hit, a JISCC will be brought to Molokai from Hawaii Island or Oahu. However, if all of the Hawaiian Islands are hit, FEMA will reach out to the 147th Squadron to fly one over. “Of course, we’re in California so it will take some time to get here,” Kinney said. “It all depends on if Hawaii reached a state of emergency and if it got federally funded and FEMA got activated.” According the Kinney, in the event of an emergency, FEMA will airlift members of the California National Guard over to Hawaii to deliver the JISCC equipment and assist the Hawaii National Guard. As soon as the squadron gets notified, it takes them four hours to pack up and be ready to be lifted up. Once in the air, it will be a nine-hour flight from California to Hawaii via military aircraft. Whether Molokai will get the chance to use the communications systems may never be known, but Bivin said the entire exercise is worth the experience. “[Molokai locals] have been incredibly friendly and I think they greatly appreciate our presence here which is good,” Bivin said. The National Guard from San Diego will be visiting Maui for their next and last stop. They leave Hawaii and complete the hurricane preparedness training on June 10. “We take disaster preparedness very seriously,” Schonely said. “Any time we can get together and practice and train for the event then its a bonus. We enjoy having them and the training is very beneficial."

Facing Climate Change, Part III By Emillia Noordhoek Editor’s Note: Emillia Noordhoek, executive director of Sust`ainable Molokai, traveled to Europe to attend the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change last year. This is the third in a three-part series about the Panel’s conclusions and how global climate change will affect Molokai and the world. Samso is an island off the coast of Denmark in the Baltic Sea that is 16 miles long by four miles wide, with a total area of 44 square miles. The island’s electricity is powered 100 percent by renewable energy and they are connected to the mainland by a cable to sell the over-production to the rest of the grid. Samso is an agricultural island that exports fruit and vegetables, well known for potatoes. The second largest business sector is tourism, as Samso is a small, idyllic island during the summer, where visitors rent vacation homes or stay in their summer homes. I visited the island in September, 2013 for two days to gain a greater understanding of this ambitious project and energy goals in an effort to ascertain if this could be a good model for Molokai. There are many similarities: both are small rural communities of similar size, both have agriculture and tourism-based economies, with limited resources and very engaged communities that love their island. Samso’s transition to renewable energy began in 1997, when Denmark’s Ministry of Environment was inspired to work towards increasing the amount of renewable energy to 35 percent by 2030. He designed a competition to highlight a local community that could become as close to 100 percent renewable as possible, and Samso won. At the time, the island was almost entirely dependent on oil and coal, with less than 13 percent of its energy coming from renewable sources. To make the transition, the commu-

nity focused on three sectors: electricity consumption, heating, and transportation. Ten wind turbines were installed offshore and 11 on land, which meet their average electricity consumption of 29 megawatts. One of the ways in which the island’s policymakers facilitated acceptance of the program was to offer the option of local sponsorship. Nine turbines are owned by local farmers and two by a local cooperative of 450 residents. Now that Samso has been using 100 percent renewable energy for over 10 years, they are working through community meetings to become fossil fuel free by 2030. For Molokai and for Hawaii, it is important to see working models of communities especially other islands that have been able to make that transition and were able to sit at the table together. If it is our goal to also become a “renewable energy island,” it is vital that we, as a community, also consider the idea of becoming fossil fuel free as well, with currently 70 percent of our fossil fuel use for transportation. Sust`ainable Molokai has been gathering data from our community to create the Molokai Energy Assessment as a guide to find those energy solutions for Molokai, which we will be publishing and distributing this month. This document is part of our Molokai-pedia project and follows our Molokai Agricultural Needs Assessment. We have collected information on our community on energy issues through surveys and interviews. Copies will be available through scheduled community meetings, libraries, the Kuha`o Business Center and through our office (560-5410). It is our hope that this assessment will create a baseline platform for us all to be on the same page to participate robust discussions about Molokai’s renewable energy future.

Molokai Fitness: Set Goals By Ayda Ersoy Do you know that if you make a plan then it’s much easier to achieve your goals? Think, for example, if you want to go to your friend’s house but you don’t know where it is, and you don’t write down the directions, you most likely won’t find it. But if you have the address, and maybe a small map, then it’s much easier to find your way. What’s your most important health and fitness goal right now? Write it down. And most importantly, give yourself a deadline to achieve it. Then, break it down into small pieces to see how you can reach it. Think what you need to do, then do it! You will reach your goal for sure. The hardest part is often staying on track, and sticking to your goals when it gets tough. Here’re a few tips to help: Write down your goal, and your deadline to achieve it, on lots of pieces of paper or notes and put them everywhere, at your home and work. You should see them all the time. Every day, do one thing that will help you reach that goal. It doesn’t matter

how small. If possible write this down too. Every day, imagine achieving your goal. Visualize it first thing in the morning, and last thing at night before you sleep. Take just 5 minutes out of your day for this. When you imagine it then visualize that you have already achieved it, and how happy you’ll feel! When it gets tough, if you feel frustrated or in a negative mood, then look back at how much you have already achieved towards your goal. Take it one day at a time, or even one hour at a time. For example, if you’re trying to cut one thing out of your diet, then don’t think “I must never eat this,” just think “I won’t eat it today.” You can use this method for everything. But remember, you need to do it consistently so that it becomes a habit. Most things that you do are based on habits that you have created in the past, so you can create a new habit now with things the way you want them to be. You can do anything you want. Read that again… You can do anything you want! The key is “want.” Don’t focus on the problem, focus on the solution. Don’t waste any time in your life, you are worth having everything you want!

Molokai Native Gains Air Force Recognition By Capt. Renee Lee | Air Force District of Washington Public Affairs

Hailing from Ho`olehua, Molokai, James Low never imagined that he would live and travel around the world, and eventually settle nearly 5,000 miles away from home. Today, Low and his family reside in Dover, Delaware, where they have called home for nearly 10 years. There, he works as Air Force District of Washington (AFDW) Air and Space Expeditionary Force Cell Chief and was recognized as an AFDW Capital Airman in April. Growing up on a farm, Low enjoyed a quiet, laidback life that involved frequent visits to the beach, playing basketball and baseball with friends, and going to church with his family. “It was great to always be surrounded by family,” he said. Low left Molokai after finishing sixth grade to attend Kamehameha Schools in Honolulu, graduating in 1979. Low took a few classes at the Windward Commu-

nity College on Oahu and worked at a car dealership in Honolulu. One day, a friend who had recently joined the Army talked to Low about the military. “The thought of leaving Hawaii never crossed my mind,” Low said. “My friend talked to me about the Army and he told me about the Air Force as well. I decided that joining the Air Force was the way to go and joined a few weeks later. That was a little over 34 years ago.” Soon after basic training, Low was designated as a fighter aircraft mechanic and found himself in Michigan at K. I. Sawyer Air Force Base -- which is now decommissioned -- where he saw snow for the first time. He continued on to Hickam AFB, Hawaii and served at other bases around the U.S. and in the United Kingdom. Fourteen years after working as a fighter aircraft mechanic, Low changed his Air Force career field to logistics plans. He served for the next 10 years at at Spangdalem and Ramstein Air Bases in Germany and fi-

nally at Dover AFB, Delaware. Since retiring from the military, Low has continued to serve the Air Force in a civilian capacity. He worked at the Air Force Operational Readiness Center in the Pentagon, and now as the chief of AFDW’s Air and Space Expeditionary Force Cell, Low is responsible for verifying and validating deployments, including contingencies and military exercises of AFDW forces. This includes supporting the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Headquarters, U.S. Air Force. During his 24-year active military service and as a civilian, Low has been recognized for his outstanding efforts. In 1999, Low was recognized as the Logistics Plans Superintendent of the Year, beating all other candidates from the entire Air Force. In 2001, Low received the same recognition for Allied Command Europe. In 2011, he was named the Plans and Readiness Directorate Category III Civilian of the Year for AFDW Operations, and in 2012, was honored as the AFDW Category

III Civilian of the Year. Soon, Low will be recognized for another achievement: earning his Bachelor of Science in organizational management. This summer, Low’s younger daughter will graduate from high school, bringing family members and friends all the way from the islands to the East Coast, with local food in tow. Low, who has not visited home since 2012, hopes to make it home soon. “Having been away for so long, it’s always great to see family when I go home, and nothing beats the food,” he said, speaking fondly of Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice. “Nothing is fast on Molokai. That’s how I remember it and it’s what I look forward to when I go home.”

coming months. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you will have an excellent opportunity to declare your independence from an affliction you've been addicted to. Are you willing to say goodbye to one of your signature forms of suffering? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "You should be interviewing roses not people," says a character in Anne Carson's book The Autobiography Of Red. That's sound poetic advice for you in the coming days, Libra. More than you can imagine, you will benefit from being receptive to and learning from nonhuman sources: roses, cats, dogs, spiders, horses, songbirds, butterflies, trees, rivers, the wind, the moon, and any other intelligences that make themselves available to you. I'm not saying you should ignore the revelations offered by people. But your emphasis should be on gathering in wisdom from life forces that don't communicate with words.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In its quest for nectar, a hummingbird sips from a thousand flowers every day. As it flaps its wings 70 times a second, zipping from meal to meal, it can fly sideways, backward, or forward. If it so desires, it can also hover or glide upside-down. It remembers every flower it visits, and knows how long it will take before each flower will produce a new batch of nectar. To some Spanish speakers, hummingbirds are known as joyas voladoras, or "flying jewels." Now take everything I've just said, Aries, and use it as SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): William Shockley was a Nobel a metaphor for who you can be in the coming week.

Splashdown on Kalaupapa By Father Pat Killilea, St. Francis Church, Kalaupapa She stood on the highest level of the pier flanked by her companion mermaids, Christina and Molly, then on the count of three (interrupted by two and a half) she launched herself far out into the water like a champion swimmer at the Olympic Trials, then quickly surfaced like a playful dolphin. Slim Sam, better known as Sister Sam, true to her vivacious and sprightly nature, was leading the water show in the company of the young people from the Newman Center in Manoa, Honolulu. This splashdown and frolicking in the waters of our harbor was one of the highlights of our young visitors' stay in Kalaupapa. Monday morning had seen these young visitors arrive at Kalaupapa airport full of life and eagerness to experience life to the full here on this special land of Father Damien and Mother Marianne. After the usual sign-in at the Administration office followed by check-in to the Wilcox visitors' quarters, we set out in the two well-travelled state vans over the rough but familiar Damien road to St. Philomena Church in Kalawao. These young pilgrims joyfully participated in our celebration of Mass in the very same church built by Damien's own hands. Afterwards we had lunch at a picnic table in the tree shaded area of Judd Park, once the location of an investigation hospital for Hansen's disease patients at the beginning of the 20th century. On the

return journey to Kalaupapa town, we hiked up to the long-dormant Kauhako crater. This is an experience that all of our younger visitors enjoy immensely. Even I at 70 (going on 17) get a thrill from this hike, the view at the top, and the welcome descent, though I do confess to feeling relieved each time I reach the base and Damien road. I did not get to accompany this merry band of adventurers when on another outing they went to explore the Old Ladies' Cave on the outer fringe of this peninsula. However, the ever-energetic Sister Sam did go with them and, true to her adventurous spirit, led the way down into the cave. Had I joined them in this escapade, I would have brought a sturdy rope along so that I might be lowered into and drawn out of this lava tube wonder! While our young friends enjoyed such fun times and sacred services during their days here, they also found time to roll up their sleeves (if they had sleeves) and under the watchful eyes of Sister Theresa, did a lot of service work at Bishop Home as well as in the settlement gardens. I was delighted to have the parish van, the Paddy Wagon, cleaned and washed inside and outside by Andrew, the campus minister. It was a pleasure to have had these young men and women with us for these days. They are a delight and an inspiration. We were sad to see them leave at the end of their time here and we look forward to seeing these mermaids and mermen again in the not too distant future.

Mahalo for Condolences Mahalo piha to the ohana and friends on Molokai who came to our dad's services and visited with our mom, Mahiki Lankford. We are truly grateful for every expression of condolence received. Lu Ann Mahiki Lankford

Call for Temporary Moratorium on GE The SHAKA Movement has successfully gathered enough signatures to put the initiative on the November ballet. What is this initiative say? The citizens of Maui County call for a suspension of all Genetic Engineering (GE) operations within the county through a Temporary Moratorium Citizen’s Initiative, until the citizens are satisfied that the benefits from such operations occurring in Maui County environment and Public Trust Resources, outweighs the risks of harm for current and future generations. Between now and the November election, it opens the opportunity for all those

concerned to discuss the benefits and risks of GE crops and related operations. Open forums are needed for these discussions. Those people who have first-hand information on benefits and risks are asked to come forward and share that information. Once the Initiative passes, a procedure to fairly weigh benefits against risks is needed. An independent agency must perform the procedure and evaluation. All voters are urged to study this issue so as to cast an informed ballet on Nov. 4. John Wordin

The Molokai Dispatch • June 11, 2014 •

The County of Maui Department of Parks and Recreation announces that free meals for children will be available at all County PALS sites on Maui and Molokai through the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). Children do not have to be enrolled in the PALS program to take advantage of the free and nutritious meals this summer. Free meals for children will be available at all county PALS sites on Maui and Molokai. The program, offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service, is made available to eligible areas to ensure that children receive nutritious meals. All youth 18 years old or younger are eligible to receive a free meal any weekday from June 9 to July 18. “Many children in Maui County re-

ceive free or reduced-price meals during the school year, but countless children do not get enough to eat when school is out,” said Brianne Savage, Deputy Parks Director. “The SFSP ensures that our keiki continue to grow and learn during the summer.”] The Summer Food Service Program is the largest federal resource available for local programs that combine meal time with recreational and educational activities. Parents should note that these meals are on a first-come, first-serve basis. For more information please contact your local PALS site coordinator. If a site coordinator cannot be reached contact Colette Baisa in advance at (808) 270-7403. Information on PALS locations offering meals, times of meal being offered and instructions of how to participate in the meal count will be given.
