Kalaupapa Combats Climate Change

Next week is the Dispatch’s annual food issue, Taste of Molokai, in which we celebrate local farmers, restaurants, groceries and good eats. As a preview for what’s to come, the Dispatch asked the community, “What’s your favorite place to get local foods?” Native vegetation have increased since cattle and deer were removed from this fenced area .

lthough scientists cannot predict with absolute certainty the universal severity of climate change nor its impacts, the effects are threatening the country’s National Parks with significant risks and challenges. A recent study by the National Park Service (NPS) shows that temperatures from many of the 289 National Parks over the last 30 years are warmer now than they were in 1901, including those of Kalaupapa National Historic Park (KNHP). At KNHP, scientists, researchers and organizations are working together to take develop and implement programs to address climate change. “The Park has the resources to really think about climate change and to act on it,” said KNPS Chief of Natural Resource Management Paul Hosten. “We have to because climate change is a threat.” The national NPS study analyzed climate variables such as temperature, precipitation and rising sea levels and found

changes in each. “This report shows that climate change continues to be the most far-reaching and consequential challenge ever faced by our national parks,” said NPS Director Jonathan B. Jarvis. “Our national parks can serve as places where we can monitor and document ecosystem change without many of the stressors that are found on other public lands.”

A Changing Earth For the past two decades, the mean temperature of Earth has been higher than average. The average global temperature of Earth’s surface has increased about 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit since the late 19th Century, according to the NPS study. “When we try and assess the effects of climate change we look at data that’s been collected over a far longer period of time,” Hosten said. “Some of the changes we picked up on are warmer air temperatures, which leads to rising global temperatures. There are a number of concerns here.”

In Kalaupapa, the annual rainfall has declined on the peninsula over the past 20 years, Hosten said. Molokai residents are supplied with water from higher elevation sources, such as mountain streams. This decrease in rainfall may lead to the increase demand for water extraction from other areas, which may strain water supplies in the settlement, he explained The lack of rainfall will also cause an increase in extremely dry landscapes, which creates an increased fire hazard. With the increasing temperature of the Earth comes the rising of sea levels of the ocean. The projected sea level is expected to rise one to four feet in the next century, Hosten said. This will threaten the habitats of endangered species, historic structures, native plant species, animals and have a huge impact on KNHP, he said. The data NPS has collected reveals that ocean temperatures have increase .9 degrees Fahrenheit since 1956 and are pro-

College Continues Expansion Plans By Bianca Moragne | Staff Writer

icture this: a higher learning education center with a spacious auditorium, high-tech computer labs, larger classrooms and a grassy campus pavilion right here on Molokai. This long-awaited dream may become a reality for UH Maui College, Molokai now that the college has completed its Long-Range Development Plan. The college worked with PBR Hawaii –an urban planning firm –to draft the plan which was started in 2012. The plan was approved and finalized in June 2014. This plan will guide the development of the college to the year 2027. The first measure of development will include expanding the current two-acre site to a five-acre campus that will utilize the land to the west along Kamehameha Hwy. “We developed this plan to see what we need for the college,” said site coordinator and professor for the college, Donna Haytko-Paoa. “We want to bring things onto the campus that we don’t already have, but are es-

sential, such as an auditorium, science labs and additional instructional classrooms.” The new college development will open up a greater variety of courses in a wider range of degrees, leading to larger educational opportunities for

students, Haytko-Paoa said. The current course schedule offers associate degrees in liberal arts, agriculture, business, early childhood development, Hawaiian studies, human services and nurse aid training.

Why I Fly with Makani Kai. “The fare is reasonable and the flight schedule is convenient,” says Melva, who grew up in Kualapuu. “We walked a lot back then. Sometimes we’d pick beans so we could go to the movies.” Melva says she likes to sit back and relax on her monthly flights to and from Molokai, sometimes falling asleep during the trip. “I like your folks’ pilots. They’re the best.”

jected to warm significant over the coming decade. Additionally, ocean acidity has increase by 26 percent since 1880 and is expecting to increase 37 to 50 percent by the year 2100, Hosten said. This will stress out marine life and affect habitats on land and in the ocean.

Creating Solutions Kalaupapa and its many partnering organizations are seeking solutions relevant to Molokai to fight climate change and its many drastic effects. To combat the rising ocean levels, Eric Brown, the KNHP marine ecologist is monitoring the changes in water temperatures and ocean acidity and the effects of coral, algae and fish colonies. In 2010, Kalaupapa’s Solid Waste Management Program developed an alternative waste method to recycle materials, begin composting materials and reduce, reuse and recycle waste. Last year, the program recycled 195,358 pounds of waste for a diversion rate, or how much waste is diverted from the landfill with recycling or composting, of 86 percent, said Arthur Ainoa, leader of the KNHP recycling program. “I believe our program is successful because we have no options, we don't have a landfill, so we all must recycle our waste to reduce the amount of trash that we dispose of weekly,” Ainoa said. “By recycling and composting our food waste we're able to minimize the amount of trash that needs to be disposed.” The park intends to divert 90 percent of waste by 2015, which can be achieved by diverting more construction and demolition waste, Ainoa said. Currently, the program is diverting 50 percent of Kalaupapa’s waste and would like to get that waste stream to 100 percent. The program is always searching for additional types of waste to recycle, such as refrigerant from air conditioners, freezers and refrigerators to be removed, reclaimed and reused, Ainoa said. Next, the program will recycle #5 plastics, found in butter or yogurt-type containers. The refrigerant recycling will begin this year, and recycling #5 plastics is expected for the near future. “The topside residents have options to use the landfill, but I do notice an increase in recycling,” Ainoa said. “I believe there needs to be more educational awareness of recycling, and composting of food waste and the emphasis should be

with our youth, starting at the elementary schools, to make them the future stewards of the environment on Molokai.” In nearby areas of Molokai, similar efforts are happening. Molokai Land Trust (MLT) is working to preserve the natural and cultural resources of Molokai by restoring ecosystems and cultural sites. MLT is undertaking a dune restoration project adjacent to Ilio Point on the Mokio Preserve. The site sits about 70 feet above sea level, making it less susceptible to damaging effects from rising sea level, according to Butch Haase, MLT executive director. The project aims to preserve and restore critical habitat for native coastal ecosystem, endangered species recovery and ground nesting seabird habitat, he said. “Molokai has some of the best remaining dune systems left in the Hawaiian Islands so it’s really imperative to protect them,” Haase said. “The coastal areas are prone to the damages of sea level rising. The project will act as a refuge of our coastal eco-system, so that’s why it’s really important.” The Land Trust works with volunteers, AmeriCorps interns and Molokai Middle School. MLT has hosted every single seventh grader at the school in the last two years, Haase said. Everyone involved works on costal restoration of plant species partnered with The Nature Conservancy and KNPS.

Small Change, Huge Impact The residents of Kalaupapa and topside Molokai volunteers are making lifestyle changes that are having positive impacts on the settlement and fostering environmental responsibility. According to Hosten, KNPS recently implemented a bicycling program for community members to reduce car use across the peninsula and improve the health of employees and patient residents. The bikes were purchased with funding from the NPS. Additionally, topside volunteers have collected plastic and waste from the beaches, removing over 8,000 pounds of debris since 2011, Hosten said. Kalaupapa has also begun rationing its gas to reduce carbon emission and conserve gas. “Kalaupapa is regarded as one of the most preserved archeological complexes in Hawaii, so protecting it is vital,” Hosten said. “We’re concerned how these aspects will affect our historic archeological resource and historic buildings, so in the future we will see more planning around climate change.”

Double Race Weekend

New Ti Leaf Virus By Glenn I. Teves, County Extension Agent, UH CTAHR

By Clare Mawae Molokai was the center of Stand Up Paddling activity on the weekend of July 12 and 13, with epic down wind paddling conditions for two incredible races on Molokai shores. First was the M2Molokai race, in which 80 plus competitors crossed the channel from Maui to finish at Kaunakakai wharf, with a close finish between Connor Baxter, 3:04:31, Kai Lenny, 3:06:44 and Dave Kalama, 3:08:58 . Almost half of the competitors stayed over on Molokai to compete in the M4Molokai the following day. The M4Molokai race ran from Kamalo Wharf to Hotel Molokai, an 8.5 mile perfect downwinder for both novices and advanced paddlers. Kamalo was the hub of activity on Sunday morning with smiling faces, happy people, friends and families coming to support the start of the race. The day started with a beautiful pule, a blessing of rain from the skies, the wind filling in and ocean swells rising. The Stand Up paddlers did a beach start with three course options allowing all levels to compete in their comfort zone and the canoe paddlers followed 15 minutes later with a water start out in the channel. The weekend conditions were some of the best that the state has had in months and the fleet of OC1s, SUPs, Skis and OC2 had a blast with this ocean run. The line up for this year’s event was global with a battle of the nations as New Zealand, Brazil, Japan, Australia, Hawaii, Mainland USA, and Ireland paddled it out with record times.

The SUP finish was incredible for the top three as they paddled their hearts out to the finish line. New Zealand paddler Armie Armstrong took the ultimate last few stokes with a winning time of 1:03:46, with the Brazilian Vinnicius Martins in second in 1:03:51 and Japan’s Tomo Murabayashi finishing third with 1:03:52. To bring the whole finish alive Rick Schonely, Eddie Tanaka and friends played music to welcome them in. The Molokai OC1/ski paddlers also showed that they were certainly not slow with Geoff Bogar taking the overall time of 57:38 on his ski, and Molokai’s Richard Mariano following a few seconds behind on his OC1 with a time of 1:00:09. Cami Kimball was third fastest overall and taking the women's first place with a time of 1:01:05. What an inspiration was Camie from Molokai along with Kathy Shipman and Peggy King from Maui. A great showing from the Molokai competitors, with all of them knocking 15-20 minutes off their last year’s times. Twelve-year-old Alex Mawae showed he is an upcoming force knocking off 20 minutes from his time the previous year and his sister Josie did great with them, both winning their youth divisions. Other Molokai mentions who took first in their divisions were Todd Yamashita, David Lichtenstein, Jesse Ford, Brandi and Bobbi Morris, Geoff Bogar and not to forget both Coral Gonzales and Desiree Puhi giving everyone a run for their money on their OC1s. If you missed out on this year’s event, mark your calendars for July 2015!

Ti leaf is an important subsistence and commercial crop in Hawaii with diverse uses. An ornamental crop used for hula skirts, leis, and puolo, a bundle or container, Ti plants are also a central part of the tropical landscape with many new leaf sizes and colors. Leaves are used in the preparation of Hawaiian foods, such as laulau with pork and taro leaf, and lawalu, to wrap fish and other seafood and local starches for baking, and also as greens in floral arrangements. It also has ceremonial and medicinal uses, and Ti roots are also used in the production of liquor, okolehao. Ti leaves used in food preparation are not consumed, but are used as food wrappers due to its ability to provide moisture, tolerate high oven temperatures, and impart a delicious subtle flavor to many Hawaiian dishes. As a result, the appearance of leaves was never a factor in ti production. Blemished leaves that could not be sold for ornamental purposes were sought after by food processors. In 2010, the issue of excessive spotting on ti leaves was raised by a major commercial food processor of laulau, and was no longer acceptable by market standards. Local growers were faced with minimizing leaf blemishes to secure their market share. Areas with high rainfall and humidity are the best environment for ti leaf production. Unfortunately these conditions are also ideal for fungal and bacterial pathogens. Three fungal diseases and a bacterial disease are prevalent in ti leaf production, some of which are difficult to control during wet periods. Based on conversations with ti farmers, leaf diseases cause damage from five percent to as high as 50 percent during extended periods of wet weather. Common Hawaiian green ti plants varieties such as La`i and Kamehameha have been propagated by cuttings for centuries and over this period have accumulated a number of plant viruses. Through island surveys of ti plants and testing at UH, four strains of Cordyline Virus were identified, and are believed to have been in Hawaii for a long time. It appears these viruses do not cause obvious symptoms on ti plants they infect,

although it’s believed they reduce the overall vigor of the plant. However, the addition of a new viral disease, Ti Ringspot Virus, is cause for concern because it has increased producers’ crop losses. In 2009, growers reported an abnormal ring spotting symptom on ti plants located in windward Oahu. Plants exhibiting ringspot symptoms were collected from a commercial farm on Oahu and brought to UH Manoa for examination. Recently named Ti Ringspot Virus (TiRV) virus, a type of Emaravirus, over 130 samples were collected from 43 sites on five islands, including Molokai. Based on these samples, this virus was confirmed on the islands of Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii Island, but not on Molokai. The virus causes small lighter green blotches on leaves, and is believed to be spread by an eriophyid mite, related to a mite causing brown leathery growths under lychee leaves and also another mite causing misshapen hibiscus leaves. Increased cultural management of the disease, maintaining quality and consistency of Hawaii grown ti leaves, and minimizing the invasion of introduced ti diseases from abroad through increased ti imports are key strategies in keeping ti plants productive. For more information on ti diseases, visit ctahr. hawaii.edu/sustainag/news/articles/ V19-KawateEtAl-TiLeafDiseases.pdf.

Community news

Hikiola Goes Solar ProVision Solar News Release The Hikiola Cooperative in Ho`olehua has installed a 12-kilowatt grid-connected solar array that will provide almost all of the power needed to run the coop. First organized in 1976 as a farm supply and marketing cooperative, Hikiola shifted to making supplies available to both farmermembers and the greater community. Paying one of the highest rates for electricity in the nation (52 cents/kilowatthour this month), small businesses on Molokai have more than ample incentive to go solar electric. “We are thrilled with the installation of the PV system,” said the Coop’s long-time manager Tina Tamanaha. “The use of alternative energy is a positive step in our mission to lower the cost of supplies for our agri-business

patrons.” Marco Mangelsdorf, President of ProVision Solar, and the installer of the Net Energy Metered photovoltaic system, noted that “with the abundant sunshine on this part of the island, the system should really crank out the solar kWhs. We’re really pleased to be able to work with Tina and the Coop to reduce their operating costs by going solar electric.” ProVision Solar, a Hilo-based solar electric provider since 1998, has worked extensively on the Friendly Isle, installing systems on the Molokai General Hospital, Friendly Market Center, Molokai Drugs, Kamoi Snackn-Go, Kualapu`u School and a number of private residences across the island. For more information, please contact Marco Mangelsdorf, 808 896-0750.

Molokai Landfill to Pay Violation Fines DOH News Release

The Hawaii State Department of Health (DOH) and the County of Maui Department of Environmental Management have reached a settlement on two enforcement cases concerning solid waste violations at the Central Maui Municipal Solid Waste Landfill and the Molokai Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility. The combined settlement involves a cash penalty payment of $70,000 and a supplemental environmental project that is valued at not less than $70,000. The proposed supplemental project is a household hazardous waste collection program for the islands of Maui, Molokai and Lanai to be conducted during fiscal year 2015 (July 1, 2014 – June 30, 2015). The County of Maui, the remaining county that currently lacks such a program, plans to continue the project beyond the inaugural year.

DOH cited the Molokai with a twocount violation in April 2011 for failing to minimize liter generation and failure to place daily cover at the facility. An administrative penalty of $20,955 was initially imposed prior to the settlement. The facility is located off Maunaloa Highway in Naiwa. DOH cited the Central Maui Municipal Solid Waste Landfill with three counts of permit violations from January to April 2011 for failure to maintain leachate compliance levels in the leachate wet well and sump, and failure to monitor and record leachate levels after a storm event. The DOH initially imposed an administrative penalty of $121,900 prior to the settlement. The facility is located off Pulehu Road in Puunene. The County of Maui has completed all corrective actions stemming from the alleged violations.

resist, avoid, and say no than it is to be receptive, extend a welcome, and say yes? If so, please consider cultivating a better balance. You need both capacities running at full strength in the coming days. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the latter part of the 18th century, American rebels and rabble-rousers used to gather regularly in the basement of the Green Dragon Tavern in Boston. There they plotted the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere's ride, and other dissident adventures that opposed British Rule. That's why the Green Dragon became known as the "Headquarters of the Revolution." I think you and your cohorts need a place like that, Libra. It's high time for you to scheme and dream about taking coordinated actions that will spur teamwork and foster liberation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A report in the prestigious British medical journal BMJ says that almost one percent of young pregnant women in the U.S. claim to be virgins. They testify that they have conceived a fetus without the benefit of sex. That's impossible, right? Technically, yes. But if there could ever be a loophole in natural law, it would happen for you Aries sometime in the coming weeks. You will be so exceptionally fertile, so prone to hatching new life, that almost anything could incite germination. A vivid dream or captivating idea or thrilling adventure or exotic encounter might be SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "When one has not had a good father, one must create one," said philosopher Friedrich enough to do the trick.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): America's biggest winery is E & J Gallo. It sells more wine than any other company, and has been named the planet's "Most Powerful Wine Brand" four different years. Ernest and Julio Gallo launched the enterprise in 1933 after studying the art of winemaking in pamphlets they found in the basement of a public library in Modesto, California. I foresee a less spectacular but metaphorically similar arc for you, Gemini. Sometime soon -- maybe it has already happened -- information or inspiration you come across in a modest setting will launch you on the path to future success. There is one caveat: You must take seriously the spark you encounter, and not underestimate it because it appears in humble circumstances.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "If I seem free, it's because I'm always running." So said Sagittarian musician Jimi Hendrix, widely regarded as one of the most inventive and electrifying guitarists who ever lived. Does that prospect have any appeal to you, Sagittarius? I don't, of course, recommend that you keep running for the rest of your long life. After a while, it will be wise to rest and ruminate. But I do think it might be illuminating to try this brazen approach for a week or two. If it feels right, you might also want to mix in some dancing and skipping and leaping with your running. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the next 11 months, Capricorn, you will be given some choice riddles about the art of togetherness. To solve them, you will have to learn much more about the arts of intimacy -- or else! It's up to you: Either work your ass off as you strengthen your important relationships, or else risk watching them unravel. But don't take this as a grim, sobering assignment. On the contrary! Play hard. Experiment freely. Be open to unexpected inspiration. Have fun deepening your emotional intelligence. That approach will work best.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Diamonds are not rare. They are so numerous that if they were evenly distributed, you and me and everyone else on the planet could each have a cupful of them. And if you are ever in your lifetime going to get your personal cupful, it may happen in the next 11 months. That's because your hard work and special talent are more likely than usual to be rewarded with tangible assets. Strokes of luck will tend to manifest in the form of money and treasure and valuable things you can really use.

Weekly Puzzle Answers

Veterans Corner By Jesse Church Aloha my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. The MV-22 Osprey shares its name with a bird of prey. So why is Osprey such an appropriate name? One of North America’s largest birds of prey, the osprey is a magnificent fish eating hawk, according to the National Audubon Society. Like the Marine Corps tiltrotor aircraft, the osprey is often at sea. And like Marines, its presence has grown all over the world, near coastlines and other bodies of water. The term osprey derives from the Latin word ossifragus, meaning bone breaker. This could apply to the bird’s sharp talons and the tiltrotor’s attack capabilities. I hope that everyone did well with the last question, which was, what names were Hawaii known by before it joined the Union in 1959? The answers are, The Kingdom of Hawaii and The Republic of Hawaii. The new question is, nearly a decade before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, another nation launched an attack against the site. What country was it? Now I’d like to finish the article in my last column about the American women work force during WW II. I stated in the start of this article that women that were working in

war related factories in 1944 were being paid an average of $31.21 a week while men doing the same jobs were paid $54.65 a week. I think this was a terrible injustice, along the same lines as Pres. Roosevelt in 1942 ordered the forced evacuation of all Japanese residents from the West Coast, both were terrible wrongs. But in the 1980s and 90s, the Americans of Japanese descent were compensated by the government for some of what they lost. I believe that the women who worked in the war factories should be compensated for lost wages, those women did a great job in the war effort and should be fairly compensated. On Aug. 2, 1876, legendary Western gunfighter, scout, and law enforcement officer James Butler “Wild Bill” Hickock was shot in the back and killed while playing poker in Deadwood, South Dakota. Hickock was holding a pair of aces and a pair of eights when he was shot, which became known as the “dead man’s hand.” I thank everybody for all your support of our troops stationed around the globe, especially the courageous men and women that are in harm’s way, and our veterans at home, for all that you do for us, and have always done, I send you all a big mahalo. If anyone has any questions of suggestions, or news, please give old Jesse a call at 553-3323. I hope that everyone is having a wonderful summer, and please remember that old Jesse loves you all. Until my next column, aloha.

The School of Transformation, Hana Hou By Rick Baptiste The School of Transformation (TSOT) 10-week fourth quarter session just ended last week. There were so many great testimonies of personal, family, and even city transformations that Harvest Evangelism is going to have an encore ten weeks of TSOT beginning on Aug. 7. After seeing many breakthroughs in my own life through TSOT, I have some suggestions that can help all those that will join me in the upcoming encore TSOT sessions. I found it important to commit to all 10 weeks of TSOT. King Jesus is the main participator in the TSOT community. He always shows up at the highest levels of commitment and excellence so I challenge you to dedicate yourself to Him for the 10 weeks of TSOT Encore and experience how King Jesus, the master potter, transforms the clay. I experienced wonderful transformational breakthroughs with each weekly TSOT teaching. The first three weeks focuses on personal transformation, which I believe are the most important of the 10 sessions. After experiencing personal transformation, God can now help you to influence your marriage, family, and community.

Visit transformourworld.org and click on “enroll today” under the “training” menu. You will see a scroll bar with my name as the leader/facilitator. So, fill out the enrollment form today! TSOT is free, yes, there is no cost for all the awesome teaching. However, there are four books used in TSOT that I highly recommend that you purchase as they are excellent and a very important part of your transformation. The books are: “Transformation,” “That None Should Perish,” “Anointed for Business,” and “Women: God’s Secret Weapon.” These books can be found at the website above or Amazon also sells them used and new. They should be ordered right away as TSOT is starting soon. TSOT consists of the books I mentioned above, a video teaching that is posted at transfromourworld.org about 9 a.m. Molokai time on Thursdays starting on Aug. 7, and most importantly, at my home in Ho`olehua beginning Tuesday, Aug. 12 at 7 p.m. On Tuesdays we will view and discuss the mentoring videos associated with each previous weeks lesson. Contact Rick Baptiste at 567-6759 or holyhuaeagle@yahoo.com with any questions.

My wife and I vacationed on Molokai for the second year in a row in March and early April this year, truly paradise. When we were returning on April 3 to our home in Texas, we met a remarkable young man. He was on Ohana/Hawaiian Air flight 611 to Honolulu and on Hawaiian Air 386 to Maui. I believe he was going there for medical treatment. He was teasing me about my resemblance to Santa, and sometimes he could be right. I would enjoy contacting him to fulfill his request, a special item he wanted Santa to bring him. He was a big guy who had been injured in a serious auto accident and it cut short his weight lifting and surfing, which he seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed. His dad was from Detroit and his mom was Hawaiian. He lives on homestead land. Both of my sons are big guys

Do you workout to lose weight? If the answer is yes, then unfortunately you are wrong! Let me explain why. It’s great if you go to the gym to do your workout. Maybe you’re even doing intense training, or perhaps you’re just walking outdoors or doing yoga or hula. That’s great, and I love it! But if you keep eating more food than your body needs -- if you keep giving your body the same nutrition every day -- then nothing will change. Yes, you’ll feel better after your exercise, you’ll sleep better, you’ll feel proud of yourself. And that’s correct, you should be proud of yourself! But you should also be conscious of what you’re eating. Try to be aware that your food is really just the energy that you’re

giving your body to live. If you regularly eat a small amount of food, with a good balance of carbs, protein and fat for each meal, then you will most likely feel good after eating. But if you eat big meals, at irregular times, then excess calories will be stored as fat in your body. But saving fat is not like putting money into a savings account -- it’s like using the limit on your credit card! And of course you won’t see any change in your weight or body shape. You’re giving your body more than it needs, so no matter how hard you exercise your body has to deposit the extra in your fat depot. Each meal, try to be careful what you are eating, and how much you are eating. Try to take just a small amount of food with each meal so that your body has a chance to digest it and use it as energy. Yes, definitely do your workouts every day for your soul, to feel good. But eat healthfully for your life!
