Fall Sports at the Ready

By Bianca Moragne | Staff Writer

ummer may be behind us, but there’s plenty to look forward to this fall on the Molokai High School (MHS) sports scene. The Farmers will compete in four fall sports and all of the teams are entering their season with high hopes.

Football Months of offseason workouts, weightlifting and training are coming into play as Molokai High’s eight-man football team begins practice this season. In 2012, MHS football became a Maui Interscholastic League (MIL)sanctioned sport for the first time in 50 years. Since then, six teams have joined the eight-man playing field and the MIL will be welcoming its newest additions, Lanai and Kihei Charter schools, this year. The MIL has also instituted a new playoff system culminating in a championship game at War Memorial Stadium in Wailuku on Nov. 6. Football Coach Mike Kahale said he’s excited about the new teams joining and looks forward to the upcoming season. He said he hopes to grow the sport of eight-man football and get to play against other non-league opponents in the future. Three schools on Hawaii Island are looking to field eight-man teams soon, Kahale said. “This is awesome because it lends credibility to what we've been trying to accomplish the last five years,” Kahale said. “The opportunity to play this great sport should be afforded to everyone. We've overcome tremendous challenges and ob-

or Molokai food or product producers wanting to sell their goods on an international scale, the Pacific regional office of the U.S. Department of Commerce may be the lucky break they’re waiting for. John Holman, director of the office based in Honolulu, shared valuable tips and connections with local producers last week. “Our mission is to help U.S. companies grow international exports,” said Holman, speaking at an Export Seminar hosted by the Molokai Chamber of Commerce last Friday. “I have been working with a few companies here on Molokai for a few years. We can definitely do business from here.” He said by marketing internationally, you are reaching 95 percent of the world’s consumers, the percentage that live outside the U.S. Additionally, taking that leap can help you diversify your client base, keep up with the competition and make use of free-trade agreements that make selling in many foreign countries relatively simple. And while many people associate international marketing with large corporations, Holman said 97 percent of U.S. exporters

are small business, classified as having under 500 employees, and 75 percent of exporters have 20 employees. As a state, Hawaii’s top exports are tourism services, cosmetics or skin care, education or training, environmental technologies, and agriculture and processed foods. The last category includes coffee, papaya, seafood and the state’s number one export product – bottled water, according to Holman.

Gearing Up for Business

For Molokai businesses, taking the step to sell internationally can be an important one. Seminar attendees Sue and Jim Schelinski of Molokai Wildlife Management, a deer farm in partnership with hunter and deer rancher Desmond Manaba, said they found the talk very helpful. “I think the key is going to be export,” said Jim Schelinski. “We need to get into it. It’s taken two years, but I think we’re International Markets ready.” Navigating a complex international Their business currently markets to brokers on Maui, Oahu and Hawaii Island market with so many countries to choose – and also supplies venison to Molokai resExport Continued pg. 2 taurants.

ome plants growing in your garden may be beautiful, but as invasive species, threaten native vegetation and could potentially lead to damage of native forests. Such is the case for Kahili Ginger, a species of decorative plant that local experts say is coveted for its large flowers but in fact is highly invasive. “If it gets out of control [in a garden] and into the natives forests, we can lose thousands of acres of forests [as seen on other islands],” said Lance De Silva, forest management supervisor for the Division of Forestry and Wildlife on Maui, who regularly comes to Molokai to assist with invasive species control. “It out-competes everything and can be devastating.” Molokai Maui Invasive Species Committee (MoMISC) Field Coordinator Lori Buchanan calls Kahili Ginger one of the top 10 invasive species in the state. That’s why she’s asking Molokai residents who may have the plant growing in their garden or yard to re-

“It’s an old time favorite, and sought after because of its pretty flowers that come in salmon, white and yellow,” Buchanan said. “[But] we want people to stop planting it and take it out.” Kahili Ginger can be distinguished from regular ginger by its large, showy flowerets and leaves and its thick stems. While regular ginger spreads only by its roots, part of the danger of the so-called Kahili variety is it can also spread by seed. Its flowers mature into seeds and can multiply rapidly. While other islands have had thousands of acres taken over by the plant, Molokai has only one, known wild population of about 10 acres in Wailau Valley, according to De Silva. He is assisting MoMISC by obtaining funds and workers to remove it. He said he was able to secure $85,000 in state funds for the job, and over the next year, eight to 10 field workers will be coming to Molokai eight times for one week at a time. During those periods, they will be

also supports local hunters, and its intent is not to irradiate deer but to protect them as a resource and benefit for Molokai. Holman supported Jim Schelinski statement that “being ready” for export is important. He said there are a few questions to ask yourself before launching into international sales. Domestic success is a good prerequisite, because foreign buyers prefer working with businesses with a solid track record of local sales. Production capacity is also important to consider, to determine whether you can meet the increased demand of over-seas orders, he said. Financial resources, commitment to managing international accounts, knowhow, and forming a plan for international business are also key in successful export. Holman suggested that before going international, “beef up your online presence to sell your products through your website – a good chance to test the markets.”

Why I Fly with Makani Kai. For Abbie, it’s all about attitude. Or rather, lack thereof. “I like Makani Kai because it’s friendlier. When you come here, you see a smile on people’s faces. It’s not like going to the airport,” she says. “At the other airlines, they stand behind the counter and they call out, ‘Next!’ Here, the people are enjoying what they’re doing and they care.”

Mobile Unit to Renew Transport Credentials County of Maui News Release Molokai’s Kuha`o Business Center has secured funding to bring a mobile Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) unit to Molokai on Aug. 26-28, the Mayor’s Office of Economic Development has announced. The mobile unit will allow more than 140 transportation workers with expired credentials to apply for renewals of their TWIC cards. TWIC cards are issued by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the U.S. Coast Guard; they are required for all workers who need unescorted access to secure areas of maritime facilities and vessels. All U.S. credentialed mariners are required to have a TWIC. On Molokai, many business owners send employees to pick up freight in secured areas on a regular basis. Without these cards, businesses cannot retrieve supplies, products or other items that are vital to their operation. The mobile unit will enable Molokai residents to collectively save an estimated $60,000 in airfare as the only TWIC offices available for card renewals are on Maui and Oahu. Without the mobile TWIC unit, a single card renewal requires two round trips off-island: one to apply for the TWIC, and one to pick up the cards. The three-day visit by the mobile unit will allow all current TWIC card holders residing on Molokai to renew their credentials on-island. “Molokai receives many deliveries through freight services at the harbor, and these cards are essential for doing business there,” said Mayor Alan Arakawa. “By bringing the TWIC unit here we can get

these access cards out to the community quickly so that the flow of business is not delayed. It may seem like a minor detail, but on Molokai, this can make or break a local business.” Maui County Councilmember Stacy Crivello said Molokai appreciates the utilization of Maui County funds to bring TWIC enrollment and renewal services to the island. “Support from the Office of Economic Development and the Maui County Council will provide an opportunity to assist Molokai businesses and individuals to be in compliance with federal requirements,” said Crivello. “More importantly, the onisland process will help curtail exorbitant costs and delays that may be incurred from off-island travel.” To enroll or to renew an existing TWIC card, call the Kuha`o Center at (808) 553-8100 to schedule an appointment. The $5,000 cost of bringing the mobile TWIC unit to Molokai is being paid for through the Molokai Economic Development Fund. The cost of cards and renewals is paid for by the individuals or businesses applying for them. Applicants must arrive 15 minutes prior to their scheduled appointment, and must bring proper documentation with them. Individuals who meet TWIC eligibility requirements will be issued a tamperresistant credential containing the worker's biometric (fingerprint template) to allow for a positive link between the card and the individual.

stacles to build a quality program.” Kahale is heading into his third year as head coach. Two years before that, he was the head coach of MHS’ club football team before he helped make the sport official. About 40 athletes are on this season’s roster—60 percent of whom are freshmen and sophomores—breaking the record of highest number of players in MHS football history, according to Kahale. Star athletes returning this year include junior starting receiver and defensive back Kaimana Kahale, and King Kahana-Kalua, a senior linebacker and backup quarterback. Additionally, this may be a breakout year for sophomore quarterback JohnMichael Mokiao-Duvachelle, Kahale predicted. Last season, the team lost the last home game to Seabury and was unable to score a tiebreaker playoff, making the only two losses last season to Seabury. The team is working on its offense, passing more during games and implementing new defensive schemes, Kahale said. “Our main goal each year is to win the MIL,” Kahale said. The first game will be Sept. 13 on Lanai, followed by a match against Seabury on Sept. 18 at War Memorial.

Volleyball Girls Volleyball is in full swing with the team preparing to host the very first MIL Division II Championships at Molokai High Oct. 22-25. According to Coach Mahea Rawlins, the championship is good for the Molokai community and builds a stronger fan base. “It’s [great] to have the first MIL volleyball tournament here on Molokai for our community, where we are big in volleyball and high school sports,” Rawlins said. “It should be an interesting experience and our fans and family will be able to watch us and offer their support here at home instead of having to travel.” Rawlins said her girls are excited and working hard in anticipation for the tournament. Practice began last Thursday and the team’s main goal to make it to the MIL playoffs, Rawlins said. The team of 14 girls brought on five freshman and two sophomores this year, after losing six seniors last season. Despite having a young team, Rawlins said she is confident the players will learn and grow together and have a good season. “It’s going to be a lot of hard work considering we have a lot of freshman, but they’re coachable and work hard day in and day out,” Rawlins said. “They come to practice with a good spirit, a great attitude and always push themselves. Hopefully they’ll continue to give 110 percent every day so we can reach our goal. It’s a good feeling right now.” The first home game of the season at the Barn will be Sept. 5 and 6 against Maui Prep.

Air Riflery Ready. Aim. Shoot. It's the routine repeated by Molokai High’s boys and girls air riflery as they prepare for the fall season. New to MHS this year, girls air riflery coach Chinky Hubbard brings a seven-year background of working as a firearms instructor and police officer for the Molokai Police Department

(MPD). Also fresh on the scene, boys coach Daniel Imakyure carries experience as a MPD police officer and National Rifle Association fire instructor with military-based training. “It’ll be interesting to see how both me and Chinky’s experience can translate over to the sport to help the kids,” Imakyure said. “We’re running through the basics and getting a feel for the kids and their capabilities and going from there. We have a lot of students returning this year who are good shooters and I cannot see why they can’t continue progress and be better.” Imakyure will coach nine boys, while Hubbard will lead 15 girls on the team. This year, the boys have an even divide between new versus old teammates. The girl’s team welcomed back 10 returning and five new shooters. The coaches said they agree that the team has great potential and is doing well so far in practice. MHS air riflery also scored new guns and accessory equipment this year. In the past, the team operated with limited resources and used, old equipment. The new equipment will put Molokai High’s air riflery in closer par with its competitors this season, Imakyure said. Every air riflery shoot this year will be held off-island. The team’s first competition will be Aug. 30 at Baldwin High on Maui. Hubbard said he looks forward to qualifying for MIL and States. Last year, one girl and one boy competed at the state level. “The girls perform really well and have a good showing at the MIL championship,” Hubbard said. “I’m hoping a majority of the girls and boys qualify at the MILs this year and that we will get four to compete at the state championship.”

Cross Country Boys and Girls Cross Country Coach Mahina Hou Ross said he’d like to take the whole team to states –with a scoring team of at least five runners. Ross has been coaching the boys for 15 years, but this is his first year coaching the girls as well. He said he’s not sure what to expect out of the fall season but remains hopeful. “I [am optimistic] for the boy’s team and hopefully we can get the whole team to states,” Ross said. “The girls are working hard and shooting to qualify for states. It has been eight years since we’ve qualified so it’s a big accomplishment to strive for.” The team has 20 runners this year. There are eight girls and 12 boys on the team, with five seniors returning, one junior and the other half made up of freshmen and sophomores. Ross said MHS cross country has a good chance of qualifying in the tops seats at MIL DII Championship. Last season MHS had one state qualifier and one alternate, but didn’t compete at states. This year, five seniors and juniors are trying to qualify for states as a team, and four others as individuals, Ross said. All of the races this season will be on Maui with the first competition on Aug. 30 at King Kekaulike Complex Schools. Ross is doing a leg on the threeyear worldwide Hokulea voyage and won’t be around during the MIL and State Championships, but said another MHS coach will fill in his spot. “We have high hopes for them this year,” Ross said. “We want a healthy season where nobody gets hurt, everyone keeps up their grades, drops their times and does well in the MIL championship.”

Many Shades of Orange

Filling in the Gaps at Kalaupapa

By Glenn I. Teves | County Extension Agent, UH CTAHR Citrus is a family of closely related species, most of which can cross with each other to create new varieties. The main citrus species include Tachibana Orange, Lemon, Mandarin or Tangerine, Indian Wild Orange, Pummelo, Sweet Orange, Sour Orange, and Grapefruit. Grapefruit is believed to be a natural hybrid between pummelo and sweet orange discovered in the Caribbean. The Sweet Orange is among the most popular citrus, including the common or blonde orange, the sugar orange, the blood orange and the navel orange. Crosses between species have created tangelo, tangor, tantangelo, lemandarine, calamondin, and many others. The ancestral home of citrus is widely debated and is believed to be a wide band through Southeast Asia, south of China and east of India, while others believe they originated in Australia, New Guinea, and New Caledonia. Citrus was cultivated before 300 B.C. and spread throughout Asia, Africa and the Mediterranean through conquests and trading between many civilizations, including Greeks, Romans, and Arabs, creating orchards throughout tropical Asia and Europe. Portuguese and Spanish explorers carried citrus throughout the New World, including the Americas, on their voyages of exploration and colonization, continuing the creation of new citrus varieties. Early on, many grew citrus as a potted ornamental and medicinal plant, considering it inedible due its extremely powerful, almost medicinal fragrance which could penetrate clothes and repel attacks of noxious insects. Gradually, through the in-

troduction of sweeter and more complex-flavored fruits, citrus attracted the attention of Europeans, who went through great expense in growing these prized fruits in special enclosed areas called orangeries. Today, we have a better understanding of these unique citrus compounds used as disinfectants and solvents, pesticides, blood thinning agents, cosmetics and perfumes, including oils as Bergamot, Petitgrain and Neroli. Many new citrus varieties arose from the mutation of a single bud, unique and different from the parent tree. Seeds were also another important source of new varieties. Many citrus varieties are seedless when planted alone or as one variety, but will produce seeds when planted with other varieties nearby. The deep orange fruit color is enhanced by a wide difference between day and night temperatures. Some of varieties that do well in Hawaii include Washington Navel Orange, Eureka and Improved Meyer Lemon, Minneola Tangelo, Mexican and Tahitian or Bearrs Lime, Star Ruby Supreme Grapefruit, Nagami and Meiwa Kumquat, and Dancy, Clementine, Satsuma, Fremont, and Fairchild Tangerine. With the ongoing threat of invasive pests arriving here in potted plants, we may have to rethink our methods of propagating new citrus plants on Molokai, such as grafting varieties that are already on the island, and also planting seeds and cuttings. Many varieties are grafted to special rootstocks to increase plant vigor and impart disease resistance to trees. Some citrus species produce seeds identical to their parents, such as Lime, and can be propagated from seed. One recommended method of propagating pummelo is by cuttings.

By Cheryl Corbiell Kaluapapa is known worldwide as the peninsula where people exposed to Hansen’s disease, or leprosy, were isolated for life. Once a natural prison, today it is a place where families in Hawaii can reconnect with a relative once considered "lost.” Prior to 1866, Native Hawaiians lived on the peninsula for 900 years and left remnants of rock walls, house platforms, heiau, and other structures as evidence of long-term Native Hawaiian habitation. Davianna Pomaikaì McGregor, Ph.D. Professor of Ethnic Studies at University of Hawaii, Manoa is working with the Kalaupapa National Historical Park (KNHP) and interviewing descendants of the original Kalaupapa Native Hawaiians to piece together Kalaupapa’s early history. “The displacement of the Native Hawaiian families on Kalaupapa cut cultural ties and associations of generations of people with the land,” said McGregor. “This project, ‘Connecting People and Place at Kalaupapa National Historical Park,’ is the first attempt to formally connect oral history from lineal descendants with historical data of genealogies, archival research, and information from 18th and 19th century Hawaiian language (newspapers) and other sources. We want to fill in the major knowledge gaps regarding the history, traditions, culture, moòlelo, and values of those Native Hawaiians who inhabited the Kalaupapa Peninsula prior to 1866.” Kalaupapa’s early Native Hawaiians farmed the land and fished the turbulent ocean while living within traditional ahupuaà (land divisions) which

consisted of Kalawao, including Waikolu Valley on the east coast, Makanalua on the flat plain, and Kalaupapa on the west coast. In 1865, the Provisional Government of Hawaii passed The Act to Prevent the Spread of Leprosy, and a year later the Hawaiian government purchased the Native Hawaiians land at Kalawao. By 1895, the remaining residents of Makanalua and Kalaupapa were paid for their land or relocated to lands on east Molokai. “Locating lineal Kalaupapa descendants to interview is challenging,” said McGregor. “Currently, we have 125 Kalaupapa family names we are researching.” For example, McGregor found names in a 1988 Molokai News story about a family reunion for the descendants of Andrew Kapalaau Poaha and Elizabeth Kapuoho Poaha. The Poaha’s eight children were born at Makanalua. In 1877, the government relocated the family to Ualapue on east Molokai. When Elizabeth passed in 1942, five children, 18 grandchildren, and 36 great grandchildren survived her. McGregor is in the process of interviewing family members to gain further clues. “Connecting People and Place at Kalaupapa National Historical Park” will serve as a foundation to develop future consultation with the lineal ties to Kalaupapa and its land. The history of Kalaupapa’s kama`aina prior to 1866 will reveal itself one family at a time, but it starts with ohana asking about family ties to Kalaupapa, and then contacting Davianna McGregor at 808-956-7068 or davianna@hawaii.edu.

Molokai Fitness: Having a Plan By Ayda Ersoy Do you have a plan for your future? Or even a daily plan of what you need to do? Did you know that if you have a plan you a much more likely to reach your goals, and to achieve your goals much easier too? Whatever you want to do, the first step is to make your plan. Then you need to stick to it. Take your time to make your exercise or nutrition plan. Make sure that you make goals that you can achieve short term -- this will make it much more realistic. If you need help then ask an expert, or just search the Internet. This week I’d like to give some tips about making an exercise plan. • Make your plan for at least a four to eight week period. With most exercise it takes that amount of time to really see the results. • Take your time to write it down. • Be realistic about what you can do in this amount of time. • Don’t forget your goals. • If you need help, ask a trainer.

• To l l F re e N u m b e r 8 8 8 . 7 8 7 . 7 7 7 4 • M a u i 8 0 8 . 8 7 9 . 0 9 9 8 • F a x 8 0 8 . 8 7 9 . 0 9 9 4 • E m a i l z a c s i n c @ h aw a i i . r r. c o m

• Check the Internet to make sure you are doing the correct form of exercise -- look for videos showing how to do it correct. • Make sure that you do your exercises at a controlled speed, and move through the full range of motion for your muscles. Don’t forget your muscles don’t know how much weight you are moving, only how much you feel it! Going slow and controlled, and through the full range of motion with a lighter weight can be much more beneficial for your muscles. • Change your intensity each week. If you use heavier weights one week, then switch to lighter weights with more repetitions or cross-fit style the next week. This way you can rest your muscle and allow muscle hypertrophy, also it will help keep you progressing forward and prevent you from hitting a plateau. Whatever your current fitness level is, whether beginner or advanced, it does not matter! What is important is that you make a plan suited to your fitness level. My next article will be about making a nutrition plan. Until then be active, be happy, be healthy and smile!

Worship Led by Visiting Students Cancelled Topside Molokai UCC Churches News Release The Kamehameha Deputation Teams scheduled to lead worship at the Topside Molokai UCC Churches on Aug. 24 have postponed their visit to Molokai. Instead they will be helping with the clean-up in the Puna District of Hawaii Island. We apologize for any disappointment and will reschedule for a later date. The Kamehameha Schools’ Deputation Team began in the 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. Any questions can be directed to Kahu Napua Burke at 808-553-3823.

Community Contributed

After the Primary By Barbara Haliniak On May 21, I filed my campaign nomination papers for State House District 13 which gave me only 80 days to actively campaign before the Aug. 9 Primary Election. Therefore, it was a crunch campaign for my run against an eightyear incumbent. And since I chose not to solicit campaign contributions for this election, the money contributed was from friends, family and my own funds, which resulted in limited trips to Maui including a trip to Hana, suppressed any trips specifically for sign waving activities on Hana Highway and only one trip to Lanai. Although it was a low budget short campaign, I felt I ran a good campaign

with a passionate heart to bring positive outcomes for District 13 communities (Molokai, Lanai, Hana, Haiku, Paia and East Maui). We often hear about political shenanigans, and it happened in this year’s campaign. On June 27, we placed about 10 campaign signs for my name recognition around the Paia and Haiku areas which both carried a large number of registered voters. On July 17 before attending a Haiku Community Association meeting at the Haiku Community Center, I drove around the Paia and Haiku areas to make sure that my signs were still intact. To my surprise and dismay, there were only two signs left intact, the rest were gone with-

out a trace. Yet, in my 2012 bid for the senate seat, the 30 signs we placed in upcountry and along the same Hana Highway area in Paia all stayed intact, which we eventually removed after the primary election. So what was the difference between the 2012 to 2014 campaign? Has the times changed where a campaign sign can make or break an election? I would like to end this article by quoting former Hawaii Island Mayor Harry Kim’s response to a question in the July 2014 Hawaii Business magazine issue, “Do you think that people who care, and have the ability to lead, have an obligation to lead?” Excerpts from Harry Kim’s response

to HB: “I think it is your obligation. Leadership is about people trusting and following; if you don’t have that, you’re not the leader anyway. But if you have that trust, and people believe in you to make those changes, then I believe you have a moral obligation to step forward. Especially if there’s a situation where you know you can make things better.” I believed that I have that trust and it was my moral obligation to step forward to make things better, therefore, I entered into this past campaign. To the many people who helped me in my campaign, a heartfelt thank you. With sincerity and aloha, mahalo for your trust and your vote.

Will

ARIES (March 21-April 19): An American named Kevin Shelley accomplished a feat worthy of inclusion in the Guinness Book of World Records. While wearing a blue satin martial arts outfit, he smashed 46 wooden toilet seats over his head in just one minute. Some observers may be inclined to dismiss his efforts as frivolous and ridiculous. But I admire how he playfully mocked his own competitiveness while fully expressing his competitiveness. He satirized his ego's drive to be first and best even as achieved the goal of being first and best. I recommend you try something similar. You're entering a phase when you'll be wise to add a bit of humility to your bold self-presentation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are about to make the transition from plodding to skipping; from moping to exulting. You will no longer be bogged down by cloudy doubt, but will instead be buoyed by giddy hope. To what do we owe this imminent turnaround in your fortunes? One reason is that it's Justifiable Narcissism Week -- for Tauruses only. During this jubilee, the Free Will Astrology Council on Extreme Self-Esteem authorizes you to engage in unabashed selfworship -- and to corral a host of other people who want to join in celebrating you, praising you, and helping you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Desire can conquer fear. Love trumps cowardice. The power that your tenderness affords you may not completely dissolve your doubt and worry, but it will quiet them down so much that they will lose their ability to paralyze you. These truths are always good to keep in mind, of course, but they are especially useful to you right now. No obstacle will faze you, no shadow will intimidate you, as long as you feed your holy longing and unshakable compassion. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): On August 2, 1830, Louis Antoine, Duke of Angoulême, was King of France for 20 minutes. (It's a long story.) I offer this to you as a cautionary tale. A few weeks from now, I don't want to have to be comparing you to him. If you hope to hold your new position or continue to wield your added clout for longer than just a little while, you should take all necessary steps. How? Nurture the web of support that will sustain you, for example. Don't burn a single bridge. Cultivate real empathy, not just the showy kind. Avoid manipulative behavior, even if you think you can get away with it. Be a skillful gatherer of information. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Golda Meir was Prime Minister of Israel from 1969 to 1974. Her admirers described her as "strong-willed, straight-talking, grey-bunned grandmother of the Jewish people." She had a good sense of humor, too. "Let me tell you the one thing I have against Moses," she said. "He took us forty years into the desert in order to bring us to the one place in the Middle East that has no oil." I bring this up as a teaching story for you, Sagittarius. If you plan to make any big moves, transitions, or journeys in the coming months, I suggest you choose destinations that will allow you to gain access to wealth-building resources.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): An eagle does not catch flies. A lion won't hunt for mice. A gourmet chef shuns recipes that call for canned soup and potato chips. And I trust that you won't indulge a hankering for non-nutritious sweets and treats that would spoil your appetite for more robust sustenance. You understand I'm not just talking about your literal eating habits, right? Interpret this oracle metaphorically, please. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do you know what phase CANCER (June 21-July 22): Now is an excellent time to of your cycle it is? Here are a few hints. It doesn't come around phase out fantasies that bog you down or drag you backward. often. It's not characterized by predictable events or boring Are you up for that challenge?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I've got three new vocabulary PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): "God changes caterpillars into words for you. I need them to provide you with the proper butterflies, sand into pearls, and coal into diamonds by using oracle. First is the German term Schwellenangst.

The Kalaupapa National Historic Park is conducting oral histories of the descendants of Native Hawaiians who originally lived in Kalaupapa, Makanalua, Kalawao and Waikolu prior to the establishment of the Hansen's Disease Settlement. The original residents were relocated from Kalawao in 1865 and from Kalaupapa and Makanalua in 1895, mostly to East Moloka'i.

Voting Advice

Heartfelt Mahalo

My advice is to vote in November’s general election because voting is a way to show patriotism and is a duty of the American people. To the undecided voters of Molokai who want to better the American economy, these are among the candidates that I support: Joe Kamaka, Tulsi Gabbard, Kalani English, Mike White, Rick Nava and Alan Arakawa. Thank you to you citizens who heed my advice.

On behalf of the family of the late Mike Hiroshi Misaki, we would like to extend our heartfelt mahalo to the following individuals: Chad Williams, J.C. Childs, Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Spencer, Mr. and Mrs. John Borden Sr., Mr. and Mrs. Atoa Phillips, Mahi KanHai and Jasmine Borden, Lorraine Borden, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Rawlins, Braj Rawlins, Mr. and Mrs. Sean Kekahuna and `ohana, Mr. and Mrs. Dwayne Kala and Meleana, Irene and Liko Tancayo, Kegal Joe TancayoMr. and Mrs. Chris Mebille, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Nae`ole, Candace Otsuka, Mr. and Mrs.Oscar Ignacio, Myron Poepoe, Marge

Police Challenges Strangers in police cars with guns seem to be everywhere. How long do you need to be here to notice that Molokai has small people with a chip on their shoulder, training to be real cops? We even have rookies that have decided to stay, enveloping a career deployment with no relief unless you’re rich, famous or have local insurance. What creates the future of criminals better than our own people? Why do we have these rookies here prompting their own agenda and terrorizing our streets? They drive too fast and look for trouble around every corner without the wit to solve any of our real problems. Loading up our jails and Maui County court systems to further one’s career is common to poor people, Molokai courts and Maui judges. The

overworked and underpaid lawyers for poor people capitulates a system that actually creates criminals. The prospects of self-esteem and change after some non-connected rookie has furthered his short sighted bully propensity to judge is overwhelming. Because I’m speaking up to this issue, I can expect repercussions instead of improvements. That’s OK because I love to walk and can stay within the confines of the law. The only thing I really worry about is getting run over by the above mentioned officers. Some cops have heart and we find that out when we need them. However, if cops have to be smart we would never have as many as we need. Go figure… David Powell
