Undersea Cable Still on the Table for Some Islands

tate and federal energy officials got a clear message from Molokai residents who voiced their continued opposition to a potential undersea transmission cable in Hawaii that would transport energy interisland. “I’m totally pro-renewable energy which is why I’m very concerned and upset by this document,” said Molokai resident and energy expert Mike Bond, referring to the Hawaii Clean Energy Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS). “The one thing that concerns me the most is the tacit acceptance of the undersea cable... I think the cable is a disaster -- it’s hyper-costly, and in my view, a political, corporate scam.” The PEIS is a 1,000-page-plus document that analyzes potential environmental impacts associated with a wide variety of clean energy technologies and activities across the state. Molokai residents had the opportunity to offer their comments on the draft document two weeks ago when energy planners visited the island to receive input. “We aren’t looking at specific projects, we’re looking at potential environmental impacts of a wide range of projects and technologies that would help the state meet its energy goals,” said Jane Summerson, National Environmental Policy Act Document Manager with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI) established by the state and federal government in 2008 set a goal of shifting from heavy dependence on fossil fuels to 70 percent clean energy by 2030-- a combination of 40 percent from renewable energy generation and 30 percent from energy efficiency and conservation measures. In 2010, the state announced preparation of a PEIS for the so-called Big Wind project, which would have included utility-scale wind projects on Molokai and Lanai, the energy from which would have been sent to Oahu via undersea cable. Based on the feedback from statewide scoping meetings that criticized the project, however, Summerson said the DOE went back to the drawing board and created a new PEIS that would include a broad range of potential projects and considerations throughout Hawaii. “We’ve long said if there’s significant community opposition to any particular project, we don’t want to see it happen,” said Mark Glick, Hawaii’s state energy administrator, in an interview after the meeting. “I think our record speaks for itself --

From Garden to Pizza By Bianca Moragne | Staff Writer

t Sustàinable Molokai’s permaculture farm in Hoòlehua, there’s a time to sow and there’s a time to reap the harvest. There’s also a time to craft and eat homemade, baked and garden-fresh pizza fresh out of a traditional pizza oven. “This is really how to get kids and others to enjoy eating what they grow,” said Emillia Noordhoek, executive director of Sustàinable Molokai, a local nonprofit that works with the community to find modern strategies for sustainability while respecting cultural traditions. Last Saturday morning, smoke billowed from the Forno Bravo pizza oven’s opening for the first time ever. The oven was stuffed with delicious handmade pizzas with ingredients straight from the farm. Made of clay, the mobile, domedshaped, wood-fired pizza oven was introduced to the Molokai High School farm, thanks to a grant written by Noordhoek from Friends of Hawaii Charities. The charity organization generates funding for Hawaii nonprofits that benefit wom-

Why I Fly with Makani Kai. Shalina says she likes Makani Kai because the whole process is “less hassle” than flying with the other guys, and the people are friendly. You mean the other guys aren’t friendly? “Well, no, but it’s nicer here and you smile more.” Shalina also says she appreciates the fact that we offer so many flights to and from Molokai, that we’re consistent and we’re on time. Let’s see: friendly, convenient, on time and reliable. We’re checking all Shalina’s boxes. How about yours?

Facing Climate Change, Part II 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 second in a three-part series about the Panel’s conclusions and how global climate change will affect Molokai and the world. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) met at the end of last year as a collaborative effort between countries, scientists and policy makers to address growing evidence of real and serious global climate change and discuss a report on the latest findings. The day after the IPCC was released, activists from Swedish environmental group, PUSH Sweden, organized a demonstration to bring attention to the report and the lack of action they felt was being presented by the Swedish government. According to their website, PUSH was founded in early 2013, and has already managed to raise young people's voice in the Swedish sustainability debate. Much like similar events held on Molokai, the demonstration was widely attended by over 400 Stockholm residents representing all ages from small children to grandparents holding banners and signs and shouting slogans as they walked through a busy shopping district in the middle of Stockholm. "What do we want? Climate action! When do we want it? Now! When? Now! What do we want? Climate justice!" Marchers also asked their Minister of Environment, Lena Ek, to mandate a 50 percent decline in greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2020. Olivia Linander Andersson, of PUSH, called the conclusion of the report “urgent,” signaling the need for immediate and responsible action, and added that the “ambitions of the Swedish gov-

ernment are embarrassingly low.” “We are here today to show solidarity with those who are already affected by climate change -- people on Pacific islands who will sink when the sea level rises, people in Ethiopia who are hit by more severe droughts than ever, people in the U.S. who are hit by a greater number of severe storms, our own indigenous Sami people and everyone else living in the Arctic north, who will be hit by changed weather conditions and melting ices,” said Linander Andersson. She said a lot of solutions and alternatives to climate change exist, and some people are already living models of those solutions. “Even though it might seem like we're always fighting against lots of things, we need to remember -- we're fighting to overcome the obstacles to reach the world that we want,” she said. “We're here today to stand up and fight for a society that looks to everyone's needs, we're here to fight for ambitious climate action and true climate justice, we're here to fight for the world for future generations.” On Molokai, we share the same concerns, and Sust`ainable Molokai is working to do something about it through our energy efficiency HUI UP programs for the past years to collecting data through interviews and surveys from the community of Molokai for the community of Molokai. We are publishing the results as the Molokai Energy Assessment this month. We will be holding meetings to roll out the assessment to the community and create dialogue around what future renewable energy projects work best for Molokai.

Baseball Clinches Fifth at States By Bianca Moragne | Staff Writer

he Molokai High School (MHS) baseball team scored fifth place in the Wally Yonamine Foundation Division II State Championships on Oahu after consecutive wins over Radford High School and Hawaii Preparatory Academy. At the start of the state championship, MHS lost to Kauai High School, 8-0 in the quarterfinals on May 14 at Hans L’Orange Field. On May 15, MHS senior David Rapanot pitched a three-hitter to lead the Farmers to victory over Radford with a 6-0 final score in the semifinal game. That following Friday, the team advanced to play against Hawaii Prep. Molokai Baseball defeated Hawaii Prep 9-2 in six innings at Les Muraka-

PEIS Continued From pg. 1 we’re the ones that reversed this process -- we’re a big part of the reason why this has shifted [away from Big Wind.]” In the fall of 2012, Summerson and others visited Molokai to gather input on how to shape the new, so-called Hawaii Clean Energy PEIS, and two weeks ago, they came back to gather comments on the draft document, released in April. “[The PEIS] is to be used by decision-makers, developers and communities in developing strategies, and for general public to better understand what technologies are, what are impacts and how you can participate in a more informed manner,” Summerson told Molokai attendees at the Kaunakakai School Cafeteria. The lengthy PEIS document addresses 31 clean energy technologies and activities grouped into five categories: energy efficiency, distributed renewable energy technologies, utilityscale renewable energy technologies, alternative transportation fuels and modes, and electrical transmission and distribution. Summerson added that 17 resources areas are covered, ranging from biological resources, to the impact to cultural and historical sites, as well as health and safety. “This process does not eliminate the need for a project-specific environmental review for any proposed project,” Summerson said. She also stressed that the PEIS does evaluate some types of projects as examples of what types of implementation and impacts may be considered, but it does not use actual energy projects currently being proposed. Molokai resident and testifier Peggy Lucas Bond challenged that claim, pointing to a cable between Maui and Oahu discussed in the PEIS. “The selection of the Maui-Oahu grid-tie project seems to imply that the state’s desire to move forward with this project is valid,” said Lucas Bond. “Although the draft states that this representative project is not intended to reflect known or planned project, the reality is that this project is before the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission. The draft goes so far as to agree that the grid-tie is ‘in the public interest.’ How can a project whose costs will certainly raise rates and have massive environmental impacts be ‘in the public interest?’” Glick said afterward the undersea cable docket is currently being considered by the Public Utilities Commission [PUC] and he expects their decision within about a month. He said by essentially combining the renewable resources of Maui and Oahu and connecting the two island grids would provide grid stability and fuel savings from being able to shut off some of the diesel generators on either island. Through more efficient utilization of resources alone, Glick said the project “would pay off the cable by itself.” If approved, the undersea cable would run between Lanai and Molokai. Glick said the state is already working with the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, which encompasses the area. He added the cable would “have to meet very

mi Stadium in Honolulu to claim fifth place in the state championship. According to The Maui News, MHS junior Nohi Meyer hit two RBIs, one in the second inning and another in the fifth inning. MHS senior Brayden WillingMcCutcheon scored four runs. The Farmers finished a strong season, closing their regular season 10-0, and headed to the state championship as Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) Division II top seed. The team clenched the MIL championship title at Maehara Stadium last month with a 12-0 five-inning win over St. Anthony. According to The Maui News, Rapanot led the team to win with two triples, four RBIs and a three-run homer that ended the game. Coach Mike McCutcheon did not return calls for comment.

stringent requirements.” Many Molokai testifiers voiced deep concern for the environment and engendered species should the cable move forward. Others remained unconvinced of its economic benefit. “The implementation of deep water cables… not only hinders reliability by adopting an ‘all-your-eggs-in-onebasket’ philosophy, but also ignores the order to provide electricity at an affordable cost because the ratepayer and taxpayer foot the bill,” said Greg Kahn in his testimony. While officials could not respond to comments, Glick said afterward that the cable would be only one of many solutions implemented under the state’s vision. “We need to do it as an integrated system… that includes grid modernization, geothermal, biomass, hydro, wind and [solar]… smart inverters, battery technologies [and] cheaper fuels to bring down prices,” he said. “We think it takes all of those approaches to maximize our potential under a diverse scenario.” Regardless of the state’s intentions, Molokai residents remained mostly focused on one thing: opposition to the potential of an undersea cable. “I think Molokai has stated loud and clear our stance on the cable and we oppose it,” said Kanohowailuku Helm, president of energy group I Aloha Molokai. Glick said despite the potential for a Maui to Oahu cable, “it is certainly not a consideration for Molokai.” “We wouldn’t wish that to happen,” he said, adding that both Molokai Ranch and Lanai owner Larry Ellison have stated they are not interested. “I said long before that utility-scale solutions on Lanai or Molokai wasn’t desirable -- we didn’t need that to reach our goal. “I know that’s going to be hard to sink in for everybody given all the pain and suffering that they’ve dealt with and very understandably so, but those things aren’t going to happen,” he said. In the meantime, Glick praised the state’s progress toward its goals so far. By the end of 2015, Hawaii had set a benchmark of 15 percent renewable energy generation. That goal has already been surpassed, he said -- by 2013, the state was already at more than 30 percent. Currently in the public review process of the draft PEIS, comments gathered will then be analyzed and reviewed, with additional analysis conducted if necessary. The agencies will prepare the final PEIS, followed by decision-makers considering the alternatives and announcing their conclusions. “[The PEIS is] meant for anyone who’s going to be engaged in this energy revolution… and hopefully guide them on how to engage more respectfully and responsibly,” said Glick. A complete version of the draft PEIS can be found on hawaiicleanenergypeis.com. Comments must be submitted by July 17 by email, hhawaiicleanenergypeis@ee.doe.gov, through the website hawaiicleanenergypeis.com, or by mail to Dr. Jane Summerson, Ph.D., U.S. Dept. of Energy - NNSA, P.O.

Youth & Education

Reaching for Excellence By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

ith dwindling state budgets for athletics and the arts, and afterschool programs often focusing on elementary and high school levels, a program called REACH initiated by the Lieutenant Governor has given Molokai Middle School (MMS) a boost. REACH, which stands for Resources for Enrichment, Athletics, Culture and Health, was launched in early 2014 and provided more than $260,000 to selected middle schools statewide. MMS was selected as one of five pilot schools for the program and received $45,000 in funding for academic enrichment, athletics and the arts. “[Students] need an experience to relate new learning to… otherwise it is difficult for them to remember and put into context,” said MMS Principal Gary Davidson. “Our kids have rich experiences in the mountains and ocean, but they don’t get those other experiences.” At MMS, programs funded by REACH include VEX robotics, chess, bridge building, flag football and many others, some of which MMS students have excelled at on a state, national and even international level. Lt. Gov. Shan Tsutsui visited MMS on an island tour last week to see student projects and witness the progress of the REACH program in action. “You don’t have to look far on Molokai to see good things happening,” said Tsutsui. “The general public sometimes has a negative view [of Molokai public education] but good leadership, dedicated parents and teachers -- it’s there. It starts with commitment.” A multitude of studies have declared that effective and positive after-school programs provide not only an educational benefit to students, but also a social value to the overall community by reducing juvenile crime, according to the REACH website. “We wanted schools to look at the basics -- attendance, grades and most importantly, involvement,” said Tsutsui. “Each school is unique and so are the programs [offered through REACH].” Tsutsui spoke with MMS Hawaiian Immersion students, who showed him their art made with pieces of rubbish from a clean-up project at Mo`omomi Beach, along with a MMS parking lot remodel initiative they completed through a computer program called 3D Sketch-Up to help solve campus parking challenges.

Students from the MMS special education program showed Tsutsui their garden and teachers presented him with fresh home-grown vegetables to take home. He also got a tour of another garden project through local nonprofit Sust`ainable Molokai, which assisted students in planting eight vegetable and herb beds and learning to grow seedlings, pull weeds and cultivate native species. Tsutsui also got a demonstration of the award-winning MMS VEX Robotics team and other school activities funded through REACH. “We have after-school programs [already] but that $45,000 allowed us to have all these [programs],” Lyn Bonk, MMS after-school coordinator, told Tsutsui, pointing to a long list of activities enabled by REACH. “We were able to do a study hall for… at-risk kids. The feedback from families and students was really positive. We’re strong there because of your program.” Another REACH-funded program that recently started at MMS is music classes for string and woodwind instruments. “On Molokai, nobody knows what brass and violins sound like,” continued Bonk. “[The instruments] were sitting in storage collecting dust. Because of REACH funding to pay music teachers, those became available to our students…. I’m telling you what a difference you [Tsutsui] made. After just one quarter of instruction, they did so well they were invited to play at the eighth grade graduation.” Tsutsui thanked Bonk for her and others’ work, giving “huge credit” to staff and calling it “a team effort.” Tsutsui said after the program’s first pilot year through his office, he hopes to “find it a permanent home” in the Department of Human Resources, where a coordinator will offer support to a working group that guides the program. “I will provide them guidance… to continue what we started,” said Tsutsui. “Even the legislature has started to realize [the program’s value.]”

A Show from the History Books Editor’s note: For decades, Bob Hope brought entertainment and smiles to millions of U.S. troops through United Service Organizations (USO), making 57 tours for the USO between 1941 and 1991. Two weeks ago, Akaùla school put on its third annual USO-tribute show, with a full cast of characters performed entirely by Akaùla students. Below, reprinted with permission from Akaùla’s newsletter, are what students had to say about the experience.

USO Dress Rehearsal By Dillon DeCoite, 8th Grade

Even though it was a dress rehearsal, I think we did great. The audience was mostly our parents and family members, and they sold food and drinks on the side. They had fried saimin and pronto pups as well as many different desserts. Before the performance, I steamed all the costumes to get the wrinkles out. There were so many clothes to steam that when I was finished, I was sweating. I did a comedy act for my performance. I was nervous, but I tried my best to remember my lines and to say them correctly.

USO Comedy Act a Success

By Kawika Kaupu, 7th Grade

Opening Act, USO 2014

By Malie Mendija, 6th Grade Everybody loved the USO Show this year. Jalen and I performed the opening act. I was so nervous, but when I got on stage, my nerves went away, and it was exceptional. As long as performing is exciting for me, I’ll do it. My favorite act was the Tutu one, where Aunty Sylvia was dancing hula. She made everyone laugh. I would love to do it again next year!

Our USO Show was held last week. There were about 100 people in the audience. The show started with excitement! When it came time to do my comedy act, I was Steven Wright, it was scary. This is on the list of one hundred things I’m not good at, but after I performed I realized I did well. I think “Bob Hope” really encouraged me not to be ashamed!

Mandatory Boater Ed Enforced in November DLNR News Release With less than six months to go before Hawaii’s new mandatory education law for boaters is to be enforced, the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) would like to inform boaters that there is still ample time and multiple ways to become compliant. Beginning Nov. 10, 2014, all individuals who operate a motorized vessel in Hawaii’s state waters must have taken a boating safety course and be able to show proof of certification. The rule applies to all boaters unless they and/or the vessels being used fall under one of the exemptions mentioned in the new rule. The text of this Mandatory Boater Education Rule can be accessed online at files. hawaii.gov/dlnr/dobor/rules/amend/ Amend-13-244-15-5.pdf Any person violating this rule shall be fined between $50 and $1,000 or sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not more than 30 days, or both, for each violation. The court may also prevent an individual from operating a vessel in state waters for up to 30 days. DLNR has worked diligently to create multiple methods for complying with the requirement. There are three Internet courses that are fully approved, with one being offered free of charge. Classroom courses are being offered statewide by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. Two U.S. Power Squadrons are offering classes on Oahu.

In the next few months, numerous other course providers across the state will start to offer additional classes and DLNR will launch its own home study course. In addition, those who have already taken a course approved by the National Association of Boating Law Administrators can take abbreviated courses, free of charge, to become compliant. A question and answer publication posted by DLNR Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation (DOBOR) is available at dlnr.hawaii.gov/dobor/mandatory-boating-safety-education-qa/. Full details on all the compliance methods are posted at this site. A study released in 2007 by the National Association of Boating Law Administrators showed that states with the longest history of mandatory education had the lowest boating fatality rates. For most of the boating safety community, this study was conclusive evidence that mandatory boating education saves lives. Hawaii ranked fifth on the list of highest fatality rates in the year the study was finalized. In 2011, Hawaii had a fatality rate of 44 per 100,000 vessels, second worse in the nation. “A little bit of education and training can go a long way toward saving lives and preventing accidents. This is why the department initiated its Mandatory Education Rule,” said DLNR Director William J. Aila, Jr. “A boating safety course raises your awareness of your responsibility as a boater.”

Veterans Corner By Jesse Church

Aloha my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. Wear a class ring? If you’re a graduate of the Air Force Academy, the first class ring was in 1959 for its first graduating class. That class lay the groundwork for a side of the ring depicting not only the class number and year, but also the Polaris star and the eagle, a stable for each future ring. Why? Polaris, the North Star, signifies hope, light and direction, and has been adapted as the symbol for the Academy’s core values to provide guidance and destination. The eagle is included as the symbol of the nation, protecting the other elements of the Academy “underneath its wings.” Each class designs its own class crest, in addition to the Academy crest, but continues to bear these symbols on the ring. How many people got the correct answer for the question in last column? The question was, what are the two most active volcanoes in Hawaii, and the answer is Kilauea and Mauna Loa. And not just in Hawaii -- they are two of the most active volcanoes in the world. Mauna Loa is also notable for being one of the world’s tallest mountains, and measured from its base at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, it

Volunteers brought an array of ingredients -- many picked fresh from the garden site -- to put upon their pizzas, and Sust`ainable Molokai supplied the dough. “People can come on the workday and every once in a while the [pizza oven] will be out there for everyone to enjoy,” Noordhoek said. “Especially with the kids so that they can figure out how fun it is to eat kale, asparagus and eat healthy.” With gardening gloves on hand, volunteers helped tend the land and planted a breadfruit tree, while others went on a tour of the gardens and learned about harvesting through the seasons. “The experience is wonderful. The tour, getting to know the science of the land and to be able to see the fruits of the land,” said Pualani Akaka, a fourth grade teacher at Kualapu`u School. “It was a terrific project and a picture-perfect garden and delicious pizza.” Akaka said she plans to bring her students to the garden for a field trip next year. Noordhoek said she wants more schools to be able to come to the garden. She said that is why a trailer was pur-

The Lee and Penny Anderson Defenders Lodge is expected to serve up to 20,000 military guests annual who travel to Palo Alto, California for treatment, according to a release from the Pentagon Federal Credit Union Foundation, which in 2010 assisted with $10 million low interest loan to help get construction underway. Members of the military and veterans interested in staying at the lodge should contact their local VA rep for more information. The Defenders Lodge replaced Hometel, which had limited capacity, outdated amenities and was not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. I’d like to thank everybody for all your support of our troops stationed around the globe, especially those men and women in harm’s way, and our veterans at home for all that you do for us and have always done -- I send you a big mahalo. If anyone has any questions, suggestions or news, please give old Jesse a call at 553-3323. I hope everyone has a terrific couple of weeks, and remember that old Jesse loves you all. So until my next column, aloha.

chased to transport the pizza oven, making it fully portable. At the start of next school year, she said she plans to bring the oven out for the first community workday and will also use it to fundraise. On July 5, Sustàinable Molokai will attended the MOM Hui’s second annual Grassroots Benefit Concert to sell pizzas made to order. The workday gathering included community members, their ohana and FoodCorps and AmeriCorps VISTA service members, both national programs working locally under Sustàinable Molokai. The objective is to teach others how to cook what is grown locally in a garden and ultimately move towards becoming a more sustainable community, said Fred Richardson, Sustàinable Molokai’s school garden coordinator. “Basically the concept is that you have a community garden where people get together and see how they can start one of their own,” Richardson said. “This [garden] is a working model. You collaborate; everybody works first on site and then harvest.” Richardson said community gardens have been fundamentally designed in this way to get the community more involved with gardening. He said the goal is to help educate and encourage healthy eating habits throughout the community. A way to achieve this is by allowing volunteers to take young seedlings, sprouts or leaves from the garden home to plant.

End of Isolation at Kalaupapa Hui Malama Makanalua News Release This year, June 30 marks the 45th anniversary of the end of the isolation of Hansen’s disease (leprosy) patients at the Makanalua peninsula, commonly known as Kalaupapa. To observe this anniversary and honor those who were subject to the policy, local nonprofit Hui Malama Makanalua will be placing lei made from natural materials at every known burial site on the peninsula. This project, named Lei Halià O Kalaupapa (lei in remembrance of Kalaupapa), will be completed with the assistance of Kalaupapa National Park personnel. From 1866 to 1969, nearly 8,000 individuals with Hansen's disease were sent to live in "quarantine" on the peninsula. From challenges wrought during the early decades of the leprosy settlement, to tsunami damage at some of the cemeteries, there remain approximately 1200 marked graves, along with several known unmarked burial sites. Hawaii’s isolation policy for those with Hansen’s disease came to an end on June 30, 1969. With members from across the island chain, Hui Malama Makanalua's mission is "to honor and perpetuate the moòlelo of Makanalua." Recognizing that this history includes the generations of kamaàina who lived on the peninsula prior to the leprosy settlement, the thousands of patients who were sent to the peninsula since 1866, and the many who were kokua to the patients, the group is endeavoring to honor all of the kupuna of this àina with

their efforts. The group largely consists of individuals who have previously participated in service projects on the peninsula with the Kalaupapa National Historical Park. "This will surely be a beautiful event," said Erika Stein Espaniola, Superintendent of Kalaupapa National Historical Park. "I can imagine how impactful it will be to see all the marked graves and known unmarked grave sites adorned with lei. Mahalo to the hui for the conception and implementation of this effort and to the patient-resident community for supporting the idea. Kalaupapa NHP is happy to be a part of this effort." Although the isolation policy is no longer in affect, the Department of Health still enforces restricted access to maintain privacy for the resident-patients. Those interested in being a part of the event, or donating lei, should coordinate through Hui Malama Makanalua. For lei donation, all lei must be made of natural plant materials (eg. fresh flowers or ti leaves) and should measure approximately 24 inches before tying (please tie all flower lei). If your group would like to donate a large number of lei, please contact Hui Malama Makanalua with your pledge. The group hopes to have drop-off locations organized on all islands. Please check huimalamamakanalua.org for updates on drop-off locations, dates, and times. For more information, contact Hui Malama Makanalua by email, makanalua@ gmail.com, or on Facebook, facebook.com/ leihaliao.

Kawela Moku: Laying the Foundation Opinion by Kawika Duvauchelle The Aha Moku System, also known as the Aha Kiole on the island of Molokai, is a practice that was implemented by our ancient Hawaiian ancestors because they realized that the resources of their island home were limited. It is a system that seeks a balance between the needs and values of a community and the natural patterns of the ecosystem. This approach provides a platform for comprehensive decision-making and collaborative management, which leads toward an abundance of resources for generations. What better people to manage resources than the people who utilize them? Take care of the land and the land will take care of us. This is a concept that Hawaiians have believed in for generations. As individuals, we do this by knowing to take only what we need, which is just as important as knowing when not to take a resource. A farmer does not harvest a fruit until it is ripe. As a community, we also have kuleana, but that kuleana should not be determined by only a few individuals. We must all work together to determine our community kuleana. All community members should have an opportunity to share their mana`o. The first step in community resource management is to identify what resources are of value to our commu-

nity. We cannot manage our community resources if we don’t know what our community resources are. This is not to say that, as individuals, we don’t know what resources we value. We are simply saying we need to agree on what resources we value as a community. We hope to initiate this process through our first meeting on June 4 at 5 p.m. at Alii Fishpond, at the Ka Honua Momona Hale. We do understand that everyone has “life” responsibilities and not all will be able to attend this first meeting. To accommodate everybody’s busy schedules, we plan to hold two additional meetings with the same exact purpose. A second meeting will follow two weeks later on June 18, and a third meeting will be two weeks after that on JULY 3. We will also hold a fourth meeting, to be announced, to report on the findings of all three meetings. We hope to eventually identify all the resources of Kawela Moku, but the main goal of these initial meetings will be to identify inshore marine resources of value to Kawela Moku. What resources do you value? What resources do you want to see managed better? This is our chance as a community to have a say about what is important to us. Accept your kuleana…Participate in the Aha Kiole.

Molokai Gets To Business By Bianca Moragne | Staff Writer

early 30 young, future and seasoned entrepreneurs spent the day learning ways to do business from industry experts at the Molokai Business Conference (MBC) last Wednesday. “This idea was born right here on Molokai by Jennifer [Hawkins],” said Teena Rasmussen, director of the Maui County Office of Economic Development (OED). “It was her desire to put on a business conference for Molokai and to bring all kinds of resource people in and from around the state to come in and provide training for the Molokai people.” Hawkins, the Small Business Specialist at the Kuha`o Business Center (KBC), worked alongside Rasmussen and the OED, MEO Business Development Center and UH Maui College, Molokai (UHMCM) to offer a full line-up of business resources for Molokai entrepreneurs. The conference was funded by a county OED grant to assist small businesses on Molokai. The first annual “Taking Care of Business Molokai Style” conference allowed Hawaii business leaders to share insights on starting a business, writing a business plan and more. “This conference was important be-

cause it was planned to meet business needs identified by Molokai business owners and entrepreneurs,” Hawkins said, via email. “The 2014 event focused on starting a business and helping existing businesses maintain compliance. We tried to bring in representatives from agencies who have not been on Molokai in a while and those that have services that could benefit our island.” Throughout the day, attendees rotated through 45-minute sessions with five different workshops at UHMCM. Karen Arakawa, the manager of the Maui County Business Resource Center, shared advice on getting innovative ideas off the ground in Maui County. She said it’s important for people to know there are entrepreneurial assistance organizations that offer support to small or new businesses. Arakawa said entrepreneurs should develop a preliminary financing strategy to finance their business and allocate additional funds for emergencies. Gene Pike, owner of the soon-to-be COTIGA -- Cash Only, Tax Included, Gratuities Accepted -- food truck on Molokai, said unpredictable financial constraints can discourage entrepreneurs. “A lot of times people try to start a business and they’re undercapitalized,” Pike

said. “Between the delays in the permitting process and not having enough money to really start their own business they give up. It kind of destroys the entrepreneurial spirit.” Nevertheless, Pike said he is hoping to open COTIGA to the public soon, depending on the speed of the permitting process through Maui County. “There were workshops that I was interested in today and I wanted to make contacts with people from Maui that would hopefully be able to help me with the permitting process,” Pike continued. “I would have been able to avoid so many delays if I had this information in the forefront.” Registering a business or business name was also a hot topic during the conference. Jane Uyehara, head of the Business Action Center (BAC), a Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) program, discussed business registration, special licenses and state taxes. “We help people start their businesses,” Uyehara said. “The BAC can help do all of the filings that are associated with business registration and getting tax licenses that you might need. We’re known as the one stop shop for starting a business in Hawaii.” Uyeharas said entrepreneur can search registered business names on the DCCA

business registration website before filing their own. To close out the day, participants relocated to Kulana `Oiwi for a community wide “Sharing the Aloha Community Outreach Event” by Hawaii Energy. The event kicked off with local entertainment, door prizes and dinner, followed by a presentation by Helen Wai, financial literacy consultant and energy efficiency trainer. The KBC will continue to offer quality workshops and partner with other Molokai businesses and agencies to reach a broader audience. According to Hawkins, the KBC’s next projects include the County of Maui Mayor's OED grant announcement in June and the first-ever Made in Maui County Festival in November. The business center hopes to continue offering workshops on an annual basis and to make this conference an annual event. “I’m very impressed. The caliber of the workshops were great,” Rasmussen said. “We’re very proud to roll a program like this out and I’m really looking forward to it being an annual event.” Submit suggestions to share for future workshops or speakers, by calling the Kuha`o Business Center at 553-8100 or email Jennifer at jennifer.hawkins@co.maui.hi.us.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): "We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us," writes novelist Robert R. McCammon. "We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see our destiny in grains of sand. But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow path and told to be responsible." That's the bad news, Aries. But now here's the good news: The next 12 months will offer you a series of excellent opportunities to re-magic yourself. If you have not yet caught wind of the first invitation, I bet you will soon. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): "When given a choice between owning an object and having an experience," says art critic Holland Cotter, "I always choose the experience." He prefers to spend his money on adventures that transform his sense of self and his understanding of the world. I recommend that approach to you in the coming weeks, Taurus. The most valuable "possessions" you can acquire will be the lessons you learn, the skills you hone, and the relationships you ripen. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In Marcel Proust's novel Swann's Way, the narrator speaks of how profoundly he is inspired by an older writer named Bergotte: "Each time he talked about something whose beauty had until then been hidden from me, about pine forests, about hail, about Notre-Dame Cathedral . . . with one image he would make that beauty explode into me." I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because in the coming days I suspect a great deal of beauty will explode into you. Why? I think it's because you're more receptive than usual to being delighted and enchanted. The triggers could be anything: exciting people, eavesdropped conversations, good books, surprising music, and who knows what else? CANCER (June 21-July 22): "Little horses cannot carry great riders." So says a Haitian proverb. Now, in accordance with the astrological omens, I'm urging you to meditate on its meaning for your life. Here are four possible interpretations: 1. Are you a "little horse" trying to carry a "great rider" who's too much for you? 2. Are you a little horse that could grow into a bigger, stronger horse worthy of a great rider? 3. Are you a "great rider" who is in need of a horse that is big and strong enough to serve your big, strong ambitions? 4. Would you like to be a "great rider," but you can't be one as long as you have a horse that is too small and weak?

and dilemmas that will animate your life well into the future. Express reverence and care for the mysteries that will teach you and teach you and teach you for years to come. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My favorite bridge in the world is the Golden Gate Bridge. In the hundreds of times I have driven on it over San Francisco Bay, it has never let me down. I've always gotten from one side to the other without any problem. In addition to its reliability, it uplifts me with its grandeur and beauty. What's your most beloved bridge, Libra? I suggest that in the coming weeks you make it your lucky charm, your magical symbol. Why? Because the next chapter of your life story requires you to make a major crossing. You will traverse a great divide. Having your favorite bridge as a shining beacon in your imagination will inspire your strength and courage as you travel. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): U2's Bono has called Leonard Cohen's song "Hallelujah" "the most perfect song in the world." It is mournful and triumphant, despairing and uplifting. It's a riddle that improbably offers cathartic release. Over 300 recording artists have done cover versions of it, and it has even been the subject of books. And yet it was a challenge for Cohen to compose. He wrote more than 80 verses before choosing the few he would actually include in the final version, and in one famous session he resorted to banging his head on the floor to stimulate his creative flow. "To find that urgent song," he said, took "a lot of work and a lot of sweat." I nominate "Hallelujah" to be one of your sacred symbols for the next 12 months, Scorpio. From your strenuous effort, I predict, will come masterful creations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Let me outline the breakthroughs I hope to see for you in the coming months. First, what is pretty good about you will not interfere with what is potentially great about you, but will instead cooperate with it and boost it. Second, your past accomplishments won't hold back your progress; you will not be tempted to rely on them at the expense of your future accomplishments. And third, the brave ideas that have motivated you so well won't devolve into staid old dogmas; you will either renew and reinvigorate them or else move on to a new set of brave ideas. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you are in even moderate alignment with cosmic rhythms during the next 12 months, you will be a connoisseur and master of recycling. I'm speaking metaphorically here. What I hope is that you will reanimate worn-out inspirations and convert faded dreams into shiny new fantasies. You will find ways to revive alliances that went off track. A once-vibrant shtick or trick that lost its cool could be retrieved from the ash heap of history and turned into a fresh, hot asset. Gear yourself up for some entertaining resurrections. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I wish I could tell you that your power animal this month is the eagle or dolphin or panther. Having a glamorous creature like that as your ally might boost your confidence and charisma. To be paired with one of them might even activate dormant reserves of your animal intelligence. But I can't in good conscience authorize such an honor. That's not what the astrological omens are suggesting. In fact, your power animal this June is the bunny rabbit. Please understand that there is no shame in this. On the contrary. You should be charmed and appreciative. It signifies that you will be fertile, fast, a bit tricky, and very cute. (To read an essay on the mythology of the rabbit as trickster, go here: http://tinyurl.com/rabbittrickster.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Declare victory, Leo. Even if victory is not quite won yet. Even if your success is imperfect and still a bit messy around the edges. Raise your arms up in elated triumph and shout, "I am the purified champion! I am the righteous conqueror! I have outsmarted my adversaries and outmaneuvered my obstacles, and now I am ready to claim my rightful rewards!" Do this even if you're not 100-percent confident, even if there is still some scraping or clawing ahead of you. Celebrate your growing mastery. Congratulate yourself for how far you've come. In this way, you will summon what's needed to complete your mission and achieve final, total victory. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Buddhist meditation VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Give special attention to what teacher Chogyam Trungpa said that one of the best ways to will last the longest. That's my main recommendation for you become fearless is to cultivate tenderness. As you expand in the coming weeks. Devote less of your energy to transi- your heart's capacity to feel compassionate affection for the tory pleasures and short-term hopes. Turn away from the world, you have less and less to be afraid of. That's the opsmall obsessions that demand far too much of your energy. posite of the conventional wisdom, which says you become Withdraw from the seemingly pressing concerns that will brave by toughening up, by reinforcing your psychic armor. soon start to fade because they really aren't that important. Of all the signs of the zodiac, you Pisceans are best set up to Instead, Virgo, devote your love and intelligence to the joys benefit from Trungpa's method -- now even more than usual.

Pono Points Thank You

Schools Come a Long Way

Kaunakakai School would like to thank everyone who donated items to our pono point store. The students were so happy with the variety of things they could "buy" with their pono points. We'd like to thank the following people and their families for their recent donations: Kathy Skoria, Claire Luuloa, Malia Lee, Sheldeen Takeo, Elsie Urauchi, Keola Fukuoka, DeeAnn Dudoit Doo, Amy Fujimoto, Yvonne Friel, Chevy Levasa, Hilda Iaea, Jenn Whitted, Andrea Yuen, Malia Sakamoto, Edrian Apo, Kim Kaai, Suzanne Bishaw, Lisa Mor-

To Molokai High and Intermediate School administration, staff, students, alumnae association and parents, I would like to congratulate the 2014 graduates of Molokai High School for all of their accomplishments and contributions to the school and community. I would also like to wish the 75th Anniversary of Molokai High and Intermediate School a successful celebration. I am honored to have the opportunity to give 25 years of dedicated service to make the Molokai Schools a better place since I arrived in 1967. Let us not forget that the 75th Anniversary celebration is not just a time for fun and games and raise money for two scholarships, but it is a time to reflect what went on by dedicated administrators, teachers, staff, former students and especially the parents who trusted their children to public education instead of sending them away to private schools. Just to remind Molokai that in 1967, Molokai High School had the worst test

ris, Jennifer Wada, Kaye Hirayama, Gail Arakaki, Lorraine Rhyne, Tiana Miguel, Bob Underwood, Kini Tokailagi, Scott O'Brien. Please excuse me if I've somehow missed your name, but know that our Kaunakakai School family appreciates you. We will continue rewarding students who follow our Kuleana, Laulima, and Ho`ihi expectations with our pono points and pono point store next year. Thank you, Erin Raguindin, School Counselor

score in the State of Hawaii because the exodus of the top students going to Kamehameha, Lahainaluna, Mid Pact and other private schools. Our teacher retention rate was about 60 percent per year, no student could enter the University of Hawaii because of enteric scores, absentee rate was higher than 12 percent, and drop-out rate was extremely high with low graduation rates. With hard work by all, this was turned around by the dedicated staff and the trust of the parents to make Molokai High and Intermediate to be declared the best high school in Hawaii for all the improvements in 1986. Let us not forget the many accomplishments that occurred to build Molokai High and Intermediate to achieve excellence for the 100th Anniversary. Sincerely, Clifford Horita Principal and Molokai Complex Administrator 1967-1992

On behalf of the entire Kilohana Elementary School and its students, we would like to send a big mahalo to Mr. Gary Galiher “Uncle Gary” and his partners for the re-vamping of the Kilohana Surf Reader which was first established in 1997. The Surf Reader program has encouraged the students, staff, faculties, parents and the community on how important reading is. It has enlisted them to read more and dream big. In the end, it was not just about winning a surf board, boogie board or camping gears, but to gain a better and positive

attitude about reading. Student Justice Luafalemana reminds other students to “be nice to a book, it is your best friend, it does not answer back, but will give you all the answers you need to know.” Thank you to all the teachers, staff, families, community, and of course our students for participating in such a rewarding program. We cannot wait until next year for the Kilohana Surf Reader to start up again. Kilohana Elementary School
