With the Primary Election coming this Saturday, the Dispatch asked community members, “What candidate do you feel will address the issues important to you and why?” Todd Ragsdale, owner of Molokai Music Maker I want to see a turnover with all the current representatives in office replaced by new candidates. If they are new, young and innovative, and have a future ahead of them the chances are they’ll have more integrity. I’m looking for someone like that for Molokai.

family of seven lost their Kaunakakai home to a fire last Monday evening. Fire crews from Kaunakakai, Ho`olehua and Puko`o Molokai joined to respond to the Seaside Place fire at 5:24 p.m. When firefighters arrived at the scene, they found the 1,400-squarefoot single-family house engulfed in flames, Molokai Fire Department (MFD) officials said in an email. The family exited the house safely, but one child, a 7-year-old boy, sustained a minor injury to his hand. He was treated by medics and transported to Molokai General Hospital. Officials have deemed the fire accidental, according to MFD. Neighbor Matt Page said he was driving home when he noticed a lot of smoke. “When we got close, we realized it was our neighbor ’s house,” Page said, via email. “There were flames coming out of one of windows on the left side of the house.”

Dispatch
Filemon Nanod, who lives a few houses away from the Seaside home, said he was worried after seeing smoke clouds fill the air. “When I first saw the house burning from my yard, all I saw was smoke,” Nanod said. “Through the night and with the help from firefighters the smoke slowly started clearing up. The next morning the property of the house was completely totaled. I’m really happy everyone was safe.” Despite the firefighters’ efforts, the flames consumed the three-bedroom, two-bathroom house, with damages estimated by fire officials at $200,000. By 6:24 p.m. the fire was under control, according to MFD. “The fire department came within two or three minutes, by that point the whole left side of the house was burning,” Page said. “…It took them over an hour before the fire was completely out, then they stayed until quite late at night checking the house. Total respect for the Molokai Fire Department, they did a great job getting it under control and making sure everyone was safe.”
Volunteers with the American Red Cross Hawaii State Chapter assisted the displaced family in meeting their immediate needs and providing transportation, clothing, food and groceries, according to Hawaii Red Cross official Krislyn Yano. In the coming weeks, caseworkers will follow up with those affected to provide referrals, guidance or additional assistance to help with the recovery process. The Red Cross encourages families to make an evacuation plan with two different routes of escape, a communications plan to help families reconnect after disaster and a disaster-supplies kit to aid in a quick evacuation, Yano said. Molokai Fire Inspector, Richard Schonely, said he wants everyone to remember fire safety after this incident. “We try to educate the public and kids on fire safety and when something like this happens it’s unfortunate, we’re thankful no one was seri-

Sally Trinidad, Senior citizen and homemaker I support Brian Schatz because he supports the elderly and Social Security. We have to safeguard those programs for the elderly because without them, we would all be in trouble.
Denise Taueetia, Molokai resident I support Barbara Haliniak. A lot of people don’t really know the kind of work she does here on Molokai, but I’ve been to a lot of meetings where she was involved and she fights for the people of Molokai.
Krysta Bocoboc, UH Manoa student and first-time voter David Ige is my choice. I thought it was nice of him to come and hear from the people of Molokai. He asked about our land and he’s going to help with our land and resources, and I think that’s very important.

What to know before heading to the polls By Bianca Moragne | Staff Writer
P
rimary Election day is quickly approaching this weekend. Your vote is your voice and one of the most powerful forces to shape the future by electing a representative government who will make decisions which affect you, your family and your community. On Saturday, Aug. 9, cast your vote for the candidate you think best represents your vision for the future. The options can be confusing, though, and seeing the ballot for the first time at the polls can be overwhelming if you’re not prepared. So to help you get ready for this year’s primary election, the Dispatch has compiled a list of the candidates that will appear on Molokai ballots. Overview: The primary election is
held to nominate candidates who will represent each political party in November’s general election. Candidates who don’t belong to a specific party must be nominated in order to appear on the general election ballot as a nonpartisan candidate. What: 2014 Primary Election When: Saturday, Aug. 9 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. If you are unable to make it to the polls on Election Day, you may absentee vote at absentee walk-in polling places. Walk-in absentee voting for Maui County began on Monday, July 28 and continues until Thursday, Aug. 7. Walk-in absentee voting on Molokai will be held at the Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS) Building #1 room 104 in the State Building in Kaunakakai between 8 a.m. and
4 p.m. Monday to Friday, and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday until Aug. 7. Where: Check your voter registration card that was mailed to you or visit Hawaii.gov/elections to get your precinct location. Polling places on Molokai are: Kilohana Community Center, Kaunakakai School Cafeteria, Kualapu`u Community Center, Maunaloa Community Center or Kalaupapa Settlement Hall. Who: You must be a registered Hawaii voter to cast your ballot. If you haven’t already registered to vote, it’s too late for the primary elections, but you may still do so for the general election in November. What to bring to the polls: A valid photo I.D. with signature, such as a Hawaii driver’s license or state I.D. card.
How: When voting in the primary, you must select one party in the “Select a Party” section of the ballot, and then vote only for candidates of the party you selected. If you don’t select a party and you vote in more than one party ballot, your vote will not be counted. Offices such as Office of Hawaiian Affairs and county officials have no party restrictions and you can vote for anyone. Review both sides before voting. Fill in the box completely to the left of your choice. Visit hawaii.gov/elections or call Maui County Clerk’s Office at 270-7749 for more information. The general election is on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2014. Voter registration deadline for the general election is Oct. 6, 2014. Absentee application deadline is Oct. 28, 2014.

fire Continued From pg. 1 ously hurt and it’s a great wake-up call so that everyone can practice their fire-safety drills at home,” Schonely said. To prevent fires at home, have working smoke alarms and check them monthly, and make sure to change their batteries once a year, Schonely said. Practice an evacuation plan with everyone who lives in the house and know the escape routes to exit the home safely, he said. It’s important to establish a safe meeting place and prevent anyone from reentering the house in the event of a fire, Schonely added. Also, keep matches and lighters away from children. If a child finds one of these items, they should give it to an
adult. MFD teaches keiki during Fire Prevention Week in October every year using the firefighter-safety guide at schools. Teachers and students are encouraged to visit the fire station throughout the year to learn about fire safety. Schonely said teaching public education of fire safety is a year-round process. “All in all, make sure you take fire safety seriously because it’s our passion and we hate to see this kind of stuff happen," Schonely said. Information on developing a family plan is available to the public at redcross.org/hawaii, or a brochure can be requested by calling 734-2101 or your local Red Cross office.

will be ready to use this season. In addition, Haliniak said a recent inspection of the school’s gym, the Barn, will hopefully lead to fixing a leaky roof and replacement of basketball rims. She said the inspector called the Barn “one of the most beautiful gyms in the state,” and Haliniak gives props to the custodians for keeping it in top shape. Haliniak said she would like to thank those who have supported and helped her, especially the Parks and Recreation Dept. She added that she hopes she can continue to support Molokai athletics through her new position, and perhaps channel more HHSAA funding to the island. “I feel sad and happy at the same time,” said Haliniak of her coming change.

cidence that everyone’s leaving at the same time.” Lee DeRouin, MHS science teacher and girls basketball coach, has been named the temporary AD. “I’m looking forward to the challenge and keeping Molokai athletics moving forward and second to none,” said DeRouin, who has been coaching in Hawaii since 1996, with about 15 of those years on Molokai.
Progress for MHS Athletics Haliniak said in her two years as MHS AD, she was able to schedule a lot of championship games on-island, which saves travel funds and brings in money for Molokai. Last year, Molokai hosted the cross country and softball Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) Championship, and this year, the girls volleyball and boys basketball championships will be held here. Two years in a row, the Molokai wrestling team held tournaments on-island. In 2016, the girls basketball and boys volleyball championships are also planned for Molokai, according to Haliniak. Haliniak said she was also able to assist in bringing in outside athletic funding. Molokai High athletics received $85,000 last year she said, which has gone to updating safety equipment, new uniforms, and travel funds for the upcoming 2014-15 seasons. The additional funding will also support a new boys and girls judo team, which was formed for the upcoming year based on interest and the availability of a coach. In addition, Haliniak said she campaigned for flexibility in MIL divisions to better match teams with their competition. She sat on a committee seeking to develop MIL policy on Division I and Division II to allow teams to move up and down in leagues based on how they’re playing that season. Currently, Molokai is a DII school, and Haliniak said many have wondered, why can’t individual teams play in the division they’re best suited for? She said Molokai’s baseball team, for example, should be DI, but current policy doesn’t allow it. She added that she hopes the next AD will continue this campaign. Molokai athletic facilities are also receiving upgrades. The new softball field has recently been completed, and
Up for the Task DeRouin said he has been busy learning the ropes from Haliniak and hopes to carry forward her goals while he holds the position. “My whole life I’ve been coaching and working with students and in athletics,” he said. “[Molokai] is probably the most challenging AD in the state. I love the kids here and whatever I can do to help them succeed is my priority.” As a biology, environmental science and physiology teacher, a substitute will be taking his place as long as he holds the temporary AD position, he said. He added that as a classroom teacher, he will carry the relationships he has built with students into his new job, teaching “responsibility and all those lifelong lessons that kids learn through athletics.” He said as a coach himself, he feels he also has a good understanding of the needs of coaches and the challenges of traveling that he will bring to the table as AD. “I’ll do the best I can with the time I’m there,” DeRouin said. In the meantime, Haliniak said hiring a permanent AD position can be a lengthy process that can take “three months to three years.” The job posting must first go out internally, within the Hawaii Department of Education, for 30 days, and will be available to principals, vice principals, educational officers and other ADs. If no one applies, Haliniak said the position will be posted externally, allowing anyone in the nation with the proper qualifications to apply.

Electric Co. Proposes Demand Response Program Hawaiian Electric News Release The Hawaiian Electric Companies are proposing a portfolio of programs to provide customers more options for saving on their electric bills while supporting the adoption of more clean energy, reducing the use of more expensive fossil-fueled generation and relieving stress on the electric grid. The programs are outlined in the utilities’ Integrated Demand Response Portfolio Plan filed with the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) recently. The plan lays out new and enhanced “demand response” programs for residential, commercial, industrial and water pumping customers. Under the programs, customers receive financial incentives for shifting energy use to certain times of the day or voluntarily allowing the output of certain appliances or equipment to be adjusted if necessary to help maintain reliable service for our island grids. Traditionally, when demand for electricity fluctuates throughout the day, utilities have focused on meeting that demand by dispatching generating units – that is, adjusting the supply of power. This becomes more challenging as variable renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar, continue to increase. The possibility of power outages increases when these resources suddenly stop producing power. Demand response programs allow utilities to adjust demand to help maintain the balance between customer use (demand) and generation (supply). Further, demand response programs can be a more cost-effective option than using energy storage or oil-fired genera-
tion to balance demand and supply. In addition, by offering lower or higher prices during certain times of the day, some demand response programs encourage customers to shift energy use to specific times, such as when solar and wind systems are producing the most power. This can maximize the use of wind and solar power that might otherwise be wasted. "Demand response programs are a win-win for our customers and the environment," said Shelee Kimura, Hawaiian Electric vice president for corporate planning and business development. "With demand response, customers get financial rewards that lower their monthly bills. We reduce the use of more expensive generators to meet electricity needs. And together we can unlock the potential for more lowcost renewable energy." In most cases, customers participating in demand response programs agree to allow the utility to adjust the energy use of pre-determined appliances remotely, like residential and commercial hot water heaters or air conditioners. Larger commercial and industrial customers may also include equipment that they will not miss for short periods. A signal sent from the utility to a customer’s electrical equipment or energy management system adjusts the equipment. Hawaiian Electric currently offers five demand response programs on Oahu. Subject to review and approval by the PUC, existing programs will be revised and new ones developed and rolled out in 2015 for customers on Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island, and later for Molokai and Lanai.

This prestigious international conference is hosted by the Anthony Robbins Foundation and is held at University of California San Diego campus. The group is part of the Hawaii Leaders Core (HLC) whose mission is to “empower youth for a brighter tomorrow.” Two students from Molokai were among the 38 youth to attend the summit. They were Royden Abafo from Aka`ula School and Patience Nakihei from Molokai High School. HLC members traveling to the Leadership Conference will have the opportunity to meet and collaborate with other youths in a five-day program that provides participants ages 14 to 17 with an environment designed to boost them into leadership roles that will change their lives and communities. Global Youth Leadership Summit's format includes small group discussions, hands-on service learning experiences,
leadership simulation games and exercises designed to enable summit participants to identify their own particular leadership strengths. Dynamic keynote speakers from around the world present on topics from leadership styles to contribution. At the conclusion of Global Youth Leadership Summit, participants are encouraged to identify personal goals and make a commitment to community service. The HLC community is a nonprofit community and leadership organization that meets regularly to give youth the opportunities and resources they need to discover and pursue their passions without limitations.

Kalaupapa Photo Exhibit Ka `Ohana O Kalaupapa News Release “A Reflection of Kalaupapa: Past, Present and Future,� a photo exhibit sponsored by Ka `Ohana O Kalaupapa, will open with a blessing on Wednesday, Aug. 13, at 11:30 a.m. at historic Paschoal Hall in Kalaupapa. The free exhibit, hosted by Kalaupapa National Historical Park, will be available for viewing on days to be determined through Sept. 12. The exhibit features nearly 100 historical and contemporary photos of the residents of Kalaupapa and their family members along with scenes from Kalaupapa. Most of the contemporary photos were taken by acclaimed Hawaii photographer Wayne Levin who began his work at Kalaupapa in 1984. The `Ohana will also present a narrated slide show on “The Restoration of Family Ties,� on Tuesday, Aug. 12, at 5:30 p.m. at McVeigh Hall. This presentation, open to the community, features the inspiring work of Ka `Ohana O Kalaupapa in helping families reconnect with their Kalaupapa ancestors. Ka `Ohana O Kalaupapa President Clarence “Boogie� Kahilihiwa said walking into the exhibit will be like welcoming back all the people in the exhibit, most of whom have passed away. “The exhibit will have the most meaning here where all of these people lived and died,� said Kahilihiwa, a Kalaupapa resident for more than 50 years. The exhibit was produced three years ago and was on display in art galleries or large public venues on Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island. `Ohana Coordinator Valerie Monson said during that time, she heard comments from people on less-accessible islands who said their communities always are bypassed for these important exhibits about Hawaii. “Every community lost people to Kalaupapa so the `Ohana feels it’s important to reach out to as many places as possible,� said Monson. The `Ohana obtained funding to build portable display walls to hang the photos so communities without large galleries could host the exhibit. The materials

Oral and Overall Health Links
Hazmat Training Brings Home Local Boy
By Jon Mikami, RPh, and Kelly S. M. Taking good care of your teeth and Go, RPh, Molokai Drugs, Inc. gums can also affect your general quality The health of your mouth may mirror your overall health. What’s the link? Good dental care helps prevent a buildup of bacteria and inflammation from gum disease. And that may help protect other parts of your body. Researchers need to conduct more studies to confirm the possible links, but evidence is growing. Research suggests that heart disease and stroke may be linked to bacteria in your mouth. For example, a recent worldwide trial of nearly 16,000 people showed a strong link between oral health and heart health risk factors in people with chronic heart disease. Gum bleeding was linked with higher levels of “bad” cholesterol and high blood pressure. Other studies show that heart attacks are more common in people who have dental disease. Research also shows a connection between diabetes and gum disease. But which leads to which? It actually goes both ways. Gum disease may get worse if you have diabetes. Some even call it the “sixth complication of diabetes.” People with diabetes who have gum disease also have trouble controlling their blood sugar levels. And this may make it harder to manage their disease. There appears to be a link between gum disease and premature birth and low birth weight. Affecting the other end of the lifespan, early tooth loss may be a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. There’s also a bit of evidence pointing to a link between bone and tooth loss and weak and brittle bones (osteoporosis).
of life. If you’re in pain or have missing teeth or infections, that can affect how you speak, eat, and interact with other people. As you can see, good dental health isn’t just about staying cavity free. How can you know whether or not you have gum disease? After all, millions of people don’t know they have this serious infection. The obvious step is to see your dentist. Also, check for signs and symptoms of gum disease such as red, swollen, or tender gums; bleeding when you brush or floss; loose teeth; bad breath; sores or pus in your mouth; or a change in your bite or the way your partial dentures fit. Another important thing to know about oral health is that certain medications, such as antihistamines and diuretics, can have side effects that affect your mouth. Bring us a list of your medications and we can talk over how to minimize or manage any side effects you may have. While you are in our drugstore, stock up on the products you need to maintain good oral health: toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss. Don’t forget to replace your toothbrush every three to four months—sooner if the bristles become worn. Combine these daily practices with regular dental checkups and a healthy diet. And, you’ll be well on your way to good oral health—and a healthier body, too. Nothing herein constitutes medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, or is a substitute for professional advice. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other medical professional if you have questions or concerns about a medical condition.

By David Lichtenstein For Kimo Puailihau, giving back to Molokai means helping his home island better prepare for a potential hazardous materials emergency. Puailihau — a 2001 Molokai High School graduate — has returned annually to Molokai for the past five years as a training coordinator with the 93rd Civil Support Team (CST) of the Hawaii National Guard. His team helps Molokai’s first responders get ready for the worst-case “what if” scenarios involving hazardous materials. Whether the threat is chemical, biological or radiological, Puailihau and his team are ready to respond. When a strange chemical or other unknown material is found, first responders on Molokai will call the Hazmat 10 Team on Maui. They are trained to respond to the common, everyday hazmat situations. But when the stakes are higher, it is the 93rd CST who get the call. Puailihau said Molokai firefighters are pretty well prepared in defensive operations if a high level hazmat situation occurs. His training takes first responders to the next level to be more “proactive” in handling emergencies, said Puailihau. This can involve establishing isolation zones and how to collect samples of materials for identification. And this type of preparation allows resident to feel more secure, he added. “Just because you hear about hazardous materials or radiation doesn’t mean you need to be afraid,” Puailihau said. “I just want to let the people at home to know that what we are doing is stuff that will benefit Molokai.” When Puailihau joined the 93rd CST in 2007, these types of hazmat training sessions were limited to the main Hawaiian Islands. At his urging, the team now conducts training exercises on Molokai and Lanai annually.

“My whole thing is to bring something back home,” he said. This year’s training scenario involves the hypothetical release of anthrax into an air conditioning system. Two weeks ago on Molokai, the training took place at the Young Brothers’ shipping site at the Kaunakakai Wharf. In the unlikely event that an attack were to occur on Molokai, the Kaunakakai Harbor and the Molokai Airport are considered the “highest value targets,” said Puailihau. When first responders arrived at the training scene, they found a man passed out on the ground. Puailihau trained the firefighters what to look for before reacting and treating it as a medical response. He taught them to examine the surrounding environment for warning signs. Are there any unusual smells? Does the plant or animal life appear different than normal? Is anything else out of the ordinary? Molokai does have a hazmat technician on duty at all times at the fire station. But to be better prepared, Puailihau said the island could use more certified technicians, as well as more equipment, including a better decontamination setup and detectors for threats. He said he would like to see more of this equipment come from Maui but realizes that these decisions come down to money which is not always available. “The fire department is now not just being reactive but can be proactive to threats,” said Puailihau.

late 1940s under Kamehameha Schools, Kapalama Campus Chaplain Stephen Desha, Jr. Rev. Desha observed many Protestant Hawaiian churches were without pastors. This concerned him greatly. He decided Kamehameha Schools could extend its educational service to the Hawaiian community by training students to lead worship services. The Deputation Team was then sent out to churches that requested assistance. The Deputation Team continues today following this same pattern.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you're planning to hurl a thunderbolt, make sure you are all warmed up and at full strength before you actually unleash it. It would be sad if you flung a half-assed thunderbolt that looked like a few fireflies and sounded like a cooing dove. And please don't interpret my wise-guy tone here as a sign that I'm just kidding around. No, Libra. This is serious stuff. Life is offering you opportunities to make a major impression, and I want you to be as big and forceful and wild as you need to be. Don't tamp down your energy out of fear of hurting people's feelings. Access your inner sky god or sky goddess, and have too much fun expressing your raw power.

Is it the code- PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you go to an American docword he utters when he doesn't want the intensity to rise any tor to be treated for an ailment, odds are that he or she will further, when he doesn't want his next boundary crossed? I interrupt you no more than 14 seconds into your description don't know. Perhaps he's simply joking or speaking meta- of what's wrong. But you must not tolerate this kind of disrephorically. Whether or not you engage in literal BDSM, Virgo, spect in the coming days, Pisces -- not from doctors, not from there's an aspect of your life right now that has metaphorical anyone. You simply must request or, if necessary, demand the resemblances to it. And I suggest that you do the equivalent receptivity you deserve. If and when it's given, I urge you to of using your safeword very soon. Nothing more can be speak your truth in its entirety. Express what has been hidden gained from remaining embroiled in your predicament. Even and suppressed. And this is very important: Take responsibilif the ordeal has been interesting or educational up until now, ity for your own role in any problems you discuss. it won't be for much longer.

Legal Notice DOFAW No. 2014-03 The Division of Forestry and Wildlife, Department of Land and Natural Resources, State of Hawai ‘i, with the assistance of The Nature Conservancy Moloka’i Programs and the East Moloka ‘i Watershed Partnership, will conduct animal control activities, specifically aerial shooting from helicopters, within specific gulches on the private lands of Kamakou Preserve, Kawela Plantation Common Lands, Kamalo (Kamehameha Schools) and Kapualei Ranch on the island of Moloka’i for feral goats. Other feral animals will only be controlled above the fence. Control schedules are as follows: August 27, 28, September 30, October 1, 2014. Backup dates are: August 29 and October 2, 2014. On the above listed dates, public access to these private properties will be restricted by the landowners. Closure signs will be posted at roads and gates in the vicinity. The temporary closure is needed to minimize the dangers of incompatible uses in the same area and safely allow completion of the animal control activities. Aerial shooting is required to control animal populations in the subject area for the conservation of south slope watershed and native ecosystems. Animal reduction is necessary to stop foraging herbivores from denuding the steep gulches of the said areas and help reduce erosion of the land and sedimentation of the down slope reef systems. Copies of the map illustrating the area subject to aerial shooting on these dates are available for inspection at The Nature Conservancy Molokai Office, 23 Pueo Place, Molokai Industrial Park, (808) 553-5236. Meat salvage will be conducted by requests and only if it is safe. For more information call the Nature Conservancy at 553-5236.

‘Just Call Me Dr. Blount’ By Margaret Blount Margaret Blount, Social Worker for the Department of Education, received her Doctorate degree in Education from Argosy University in Honolulu. Flanked by her two children, Henry Blount and Brandi Ballard Corpuz (pictured), she proudly represented the island of Molokai at the convention center ceremony in Oahu on June 21. Margaret, an avid leader in the fight against high school dropouts, wrote her dissertation on the Molokai dropout problem specifically. According to Margaret, her graduation was more than remarkable because just as she was finalizing the details of her dissertation, which she had been researching for six years already, she found out she had breast cancer. She went to Maui Cancer Center for treatment and in December 2013, she had finished her treatments and her dissertation. She missed the graduation ceremony in December due to her treatments, but found out she could walk in the June ceremony. Two days before the June ceremony, she found out she was cancer free, so walking down that isle was a glorious day for her and her family for more reasons than just the academic achievement. She said she knows God spared
her for many reasons, but she firmly believes that she has been given a second chance to finish what she started 28 years ago when she was recruited to her island home, Molokai. That something is to help Molokai folks do whatever they need to do to be successful in school, community and life, itself! Margaret’s goal for this upcoming school year is to have a zero dropout rate for Molokai, and with that in mind, please do not hesitate to call her if you know someone who is not attending school that should be, or someone that may be thinking of dropping out for whatever reason. She knows she can help them and will. Margaret also wants to assist anyone, any age, who wants to get their high school diploma. Please call her at the Dept. of Education at 553-1723 or Molokai High School at 567-6950.

I’ve been building my home through the Molokai Affordable Homes and Community Development project. This project is under the direction of Mr. Michael Inouye, who is president of the organization. A lot of hardship has come to me since this project started. Throughout the project, things have been done that have left me in turmoil. My concerns, as a new (soon to be) homeowner, include lack of funding and proper completion of construction, and most especially, that my concerns are not being addressed or responded to. No response, no return calls… what does that lead me to believe? We were told we wouldn’t have to pay out of pocket until the closing
of the loan. However, I’m finding myself having to pay for expenses to complete my home, which is causing me financial hardship. Am I being discriminated against? Other homeowners in the project have expressed similar concerns and we’re looking for answers. Please contact me if you’ve experienced similar frustrations or can offer suggestions. Sincerely, Carla DeAngelo Po Box 1002 Kaunakakai, HI 96748
