bout one hundred volunteers walked along Mo`omomi’s coastline with large black and tan canvas bags, sifting through the sand and picking up marine debris that washed up on shore. Fast-food takeout containers and cups, tires and even a propane tank littered the area. Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii’s (SCH) beach clean-up brought volunteers together to do something about the trash last Saturday.

About 7,000 pounds of plastic shards, rope, nets, bottles, wrappers and other trash was removed from Mo`omomi Beach thanks to hard work from the Molokai community, said SCH Executive Director, Kahi Pacarro.

“We’re here because we love the beaches and want to keep them clean,” Pacarro said. “The only solution to all of this marine debris is to stop using so much plastic. We found that best tool to do that is to show volunteers exactly what’s washing up on their beaches.”

The Oahu-based nonprofit has been throwing hands-on cleanups throughout the state for three years with a mission to inspire local communities to care for their coastlines. The day began with debris collecting, followed by sorting what was found. Attendees enjoyed live music, food, games and prizes near the event’s end.

“We’re doing a small boost to the economy while also invigorating the community to show them how beautiful Mo`omomi is,” Pacarro said. “We hope this will forge a lasting partnership because we want to come back every year.”

All trash collected will be taken to Oahu to be donated to SCH partnering organization that can recycle and turn it into products like skate boards, soap bottles and yarn. SCH aims to divert as much debris as possible away from landfills. SCH partners with the Hawaii Tourism Authority, Hawaii Community Foundation, Method, a San Francisco-based company that produces nontoxic, biodegradable natural cleaning supplies with a focus on

here’s good news for drivers who live on the east end as well as residents of the Kawela area: construction on the Kawela Bridge is finally complete.

The former, 70-year-old bridge was deteriorating, and a $6 million construction project began back in 2012 to remove the original bridge and replace it with what you see today.

The old bridge, constructed around 1940, was clogged with stream deposits which impeded the flow of water below the deck, resulting in flooding in neighboring properties, said Project Engineer at Goodfellow Bros., Inc., Clayton Morrell.

Goodfellow Bros., Inc was contracted to remove the old bridge and build a new one in its place with a capacity to handle high volumes of water to pass beneath the roadway and remove stream deposit buildup that migrates down, Morrell said.

The Western Yellow Jacket

By Glenn Teves, Extension Agent | UH CTAHR

Island in lava fields when disturbed, and have been known to attack and kill horses.

They search for meat or protein to feed their babies or larvae and can sting and bite repeatedly. In tropical areas they can survive for several years and nests can become quite large with over 1000 individuals.

The most immediate solution when encountering them is to run. Multiple stings can increase the volume of foreign protein injected into your body, and if you’re especially allergic to them, it can be dangerous.

The longer the hot dry season, the more aggressive they get as populations increase and food supplies decrease. When food gets scarce they will start to singularly scavenge for food in garbage, or picnic areas. Once they find food, they will continue to return to the source. If you know where they are, try not to go near their nesting places; look for wasps flying in and out of a single location.

Ways of controlling or minimizing them include the use of traps or lures. Trapping is one method that can be employed to try to reduce Yellow Jacket problems. They will eliminate individuals but probably not the entire nest or large populations. The active ingredient that attracts the Western Yellow Jacket is Heptyl Butyrate.

Over 25 years ago, we encountered a swarm of some vicious Yellow Jackets at Forest Camp. Later, as we ate lunch of venison and rice, they started landing and feeding on the venison. I knew this wasn’t just any old Yellow Jacket; this was the notorious Western Yellow Jacket.

Yellow Jackets are wasps, and have a predatory and also a scavenging habit and will feed on many insects, including plant-eating insects and nuisance flies around house and garden. However, they become a major threat when they attack humans, good insects and animals, including Hawaii’s native species.

Yellow Jackets are considered social insects due to their ability to live in harmony with other members of their species, and can also attack in groups, and have been in Hawaii for a long time. The Western Yellow Jacket is a more recent arrival and is believed to have arrived in shipments of Christmas trees. On Molokai, they’ve been around for over 25 years, but are recently making increased appearances in Ho`olehua.

Although not a bee, they’ve been referred to as the “Meat Bee” due to their preference for meat or protein, and that means us.

New Format for Community Budget Meetings Maui County Budget Office News Release Mayor Alan Arakawa and his administration will host a series of community meetings in September and October to receive comments and suggestions from the public regarding the proposed budget for the Fiscal Year 2015-2016. Citizens with an interest in the county budget are encouraged to attend and offer input, either as individuals or on behalf of an organization.

Both written and verbal comments will be accepted.

The Molokai meeting will be held on Thursday, Sept. 25, at the Home Pumehana Center at 3 p.m.

As a new feature this year to the Mayor’s annual community budget meetings, tables will be set up to allow directors and staff from each county department to meet with members of the public, hear budgetrelated needs, listen to concerns and answer questions about various county-related issues. Attendees will be given a form upon arrival at the meeting to determine their needs, and which department(s) their comments pertain to.

The meeting will begin with an over-

view by Mayor Arakawa and Budget Director Sandy Baz, followed by approximately one hour for attendees to submit comments at the various department tables. To close the evening, the group will be reconvened so that the Mayor and Budget Director can provide a recap of the issues that were raised by attendees.

“Not everyone is comfortable speaking in front of a large audience, especially when a microphone is set up in the hall,” said Arakawa. “This new discussion format will help the community meetings run more effectively by allowing people to share their comments with our County staff in a more direct and time-efficient manner.

“Suggestions from the public are welcome and are greatly appreciated, as they help us prioritize what is best for our community, and understand how to better serve Maui County residents,” continued the mayor. “Putting together the Maui County budget is a process in which everyone should have a part.”

Input from the community meetings will be taken into consideration when the administration constructs the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 budget.

Molokai Food Hub Meeting Sust`aina ble Molokai News Release Sust`aina ble Molokai will host a meeting for island farmers and food producers on Wednesday, Sept. 3 from 5:30 to 7p.m. at the High School Cafeteria. The primary purpose of the meeting is to determine if our farmers can (and want) to supply Maunaloa Elementary School's Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) with locally grown fruits and veggies. There will also be discussion on connecting our island farmers with other consumers, including stores and restaurants.

“The coolest part is what they do with all of the rubbish that is collected,” said volunteer Dan Emhof, director of operations for Akaku on Molokai. “It’s recycled to make skateboards and other products people don’t even know about, or know where it originally came from. That’s a powerful message.”

Patricia Hammond of Molokai Soaps said she’s proud Method uses recycled plastics to make dispensers for its biodegradable household cleaners, laundry care and soaps.

“This plastic is getting new life,” Hammond said. “The best part is that none of it is staying on Molokai. They’re not putting it in our landfill.”

SCH organizes four cleanups on Oahu every year and three on neighboring islands like Kauai, Maui and Hawaii Island. The nonprofit expanded their message to Molokai for the first time with the help of Molokai High School senior Kamiki Agliam.

Agliam got SCH involved in her senior project on beach cleanups. Three weeks ago, Pacarro visited Molokai to meet Agliam, land management partners The Nature Conservancy and Molokai Land Trust, and traditional resource manager and Mo`omomi caretaker Uncle Mac Poepoe to implement the cleanup. Poepoe granted permission for volunteers to visit Mo`omomi. Pacarro gave island-wide school presentations about marine debris to students for three days kicking off the event, and resulting in youth participation.

“I came here today because I don’t like seeing fish die,” said 8-year-old Cassidy Duquette.

Kilohana Elementary student Duquette said cleaning up trash from Mo`omomi is important.

“I helped pick up a lot of plastic bags, ropes and trash out there,” she said. “I want to continue doing this because it’s better for the earth.”

Agliam said she and her family travel to Mo`omomi often, and noticed the alarming debris that has washed up on shore.

“When Kahi [Pacarro] presented to my class I realized what impact [marine de-

the process of developing a Molokai Food Hub, which is meant to serve as an onisland distribution center, as well as a resource center for farmers. We would like to hear community input and ideas on how the Hub can best support local farmers and producers, as well as consumers.

Lastly, we will have brief presentations on two other farm-related opportunities. Ku`ulei Arce from MEO will share her idea to offer a Core Four Business Course geared specifically to farmers. Additionally, we will share information on the Kohala Center's Kahiau Rural Business Development Microloan Program.

bris] has on not only us, but also the wildlife around the island,” Agliam said. “Our island is what provides food and shelter for us and if we want to continue keeping our aina healthy we have to malama it.”

Next year she’s planning another cleanup on Molokai's east end. She’s also working to form a group that will host several cleanups throughout the year. Agliam plans to place crates at Mo`omomi for visitors to pick up trash and that washes up and place it in the crates. The trash collected will be shipped over to SCH and recycled.

Fina Kaauwai, Agliam’s aunt, hosted the secondannual Lolly Agliam Molokai Masters Ulua Tournament in honor of her father at Mo`omomi Saturday. Lolly Agliam was a popular fisherman and member of the 100-Plus Club, a Hawaiian club for fisherman who have caught fish weighing 100 pounds or greater while fishing in the state.

HFN honors and congratulates these fishermen on their outstanding achievements..

Kaauwai said sharing her father’s story and collaborating to cleanup Mo`omomi was a blessing.

“Mo`omomi is where we grew up. I was born and raised on Molokai, live on Hawaiian homestead and [ Mo'omomi] our second home,” Kaauwai said. “It takes care of us, we feed our families from Mo'omomi, so it wasn’t a question to have [SCH] here.”

Kaauwai said she wants to decrease plastic usage on Molokai.

“The ocean is churning with stuff and we’re stuck in the middle of it,” Kaauwai said. “We have to get away from depending on plastic. The less plastic we use, less would end up in the ocean.”

About 90 percent of trash that washes up on Hawaiian shores comes from abroad as a result of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch that is located in the central North Pacific Ocean, Pacarro said. The patch, or the Pacific trash vortex, is a gyre of marine debris stuck in a vortex that swirls around and breaks down into tiny pieces. As winds blow through the gyre, garbage is pushed up onto the island chain. The only way to clean the gyre is by picking up trash off the coast, making “beach cleanups, gyre cleanups,” Pacarro said.

“It’s not the solution by any means, but it raises awareness to the marine debris issue,” Pacarro said. “Our dream is to process marine debris that we find to make products here in Hawaii. If we could use a resource that’s washing up on our shores and turn it into a commodity, the public will get involved.”

The business offically launched their 100 percent grass-fed, hormone free, angus beef with a buffet highlighting the meat in a multitude of dishes “This evening is really for the employees,” said Molokai Ranch Operations Manager Dathan Bicoy. “They worked hard and put in a lot of hours, especially the cowboys. The company really appreciates the effort put in by everyone, every day, to make this happen.”

More than 400 people attended this year’s six-hour event Friday to walk the track honoring cancer survivors, remembering those that lost the battle and helping fight for a cure. The 30 participating teams, formed by families, businesses and organizations, sold T-shirts and food to raise money. Molokai’s Relay for Life aimed to raise $22,500 and exceeded that goal with $25,000 before the event began, said Relay for Life community manager Pamela Webster.

Webster said she anticipated another $1000 raised by the night’s end.

“Every year it’s getting bigger and better and this is the largest Relay has ever been,” Ponce said. “Even though we have separate teams on the field, we’re all here for the same cause.”

Funds raised go towards the American Cancer Society (ACS) and help provide resources and travel stipends for Molokai cancer patients to receive treatment on Oahu, Ponce said.

As the evening kicked off, cancer survivors took the first lap around the track, celebrating their victory over cancer while being cheered on by the other participants who lined the track. As guests of honor, caregivers and teams took turns walking or running around a track, family-friendly activities, games and live music kept everyone entertained and built camaraderie through-

Goodfellow Project Manager Todd Svetin said a bid for the Kawela Bridge reconstruction was placed in 2011. In March of the following year, clearing work for the new bridge began. The old bridge closed for passing over it on Aug. 14, 2012. A detour road was built to divert traffic around the old bridge, allowing for its removal and construction of the new one, Morrell said.

Pavement of the new bridge began in June 2014 and final paving was completed in July.

About 10 main Goodfellow Bros., Inc. crewmen worked on the site until its completion, which took a little over two years. Twelve sub-contractors including GP Roadway Solutions, which installed the guardrails and Apply-A -Line Inc., which painted the lines onto the roadway, partnered to complete the bridge. Molokai’s

“As we walk around…our spirits are the same and we have the same common thread of why we’re here,” said guest speaker and Maui County Councilwoman Stacy Crivello. “We are here to continue the fight to find the resolve in dealing with cancer.”

Matildamargaret Davis, a breast cancer survivor who lives on Oahu, returned home to Molokai to surprise and support her Molokai High Class of 1978 friend, Berna Puhi.

“The feeling and all of the support is great,” Davis said. “This is really awesome. I came here to support Molokai.”

Puhi, an ovarian cancer survivor, said the support system Relay for Life offers to cancer patients, survivors and caregivers is the best part of the event.

“Coming out to support the loved ones that have left us is important,” Puhi said. “It’s good to have this support system and to raise the awareness. I’m very appreciative.”

Tri-L Construction, Inc. supplied all the concrete for the project. Both lanes of the bridge reopened on July 23 of this year. The total project cost $6,290,000 with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funding.

"We're very pleased with the completion of the Kawela Bridge," Svetin said.

"Our workers take ownership of the bridge, with many of them being from and living here on Molokai, and have built a quality bridge Molokai can be proud of."

Next, the crew will relocate to the landfill to excavate the site, making a large pit that will be the base of the fill area and will hold the next six year’s worth of trash that Molokai will produce, Morrell said.

At the bottom of this pit a liner will be installed to prevent liquids from migrating below ground. The crew will also construct a channel to surround the outside of the pit and capture storm water run-off. The runoff will be transported to a sedimentation basin near the back of the facility, eliminating sediment erosion problems, Morrell said. The landfill project is scheduled for completion in December, Svetin said.

“As far as aesthetics, the [Kawela Bridge] project turned out even better than we anticipated and with modern construction it will last and serve the community well," Morrell said.

the globe in more than 5,200 communities and 20 countries come together to help the ACS save lives from cancer. In the past, the overnight community fundraising walk lasted 24-hours, with teams camping out all night around the track. However, this year Molokai’s event ended at midnight in a response to community feedback for a shorter event.

The Relay effort began in 1985, when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a surgeon from Tacoma, Wash., single-handedly changed the way the ACS raises funds by combining his passion for running and fighting against cancer.

Klatt ran more than 83 miles for 24 hours and raised $27,000 to fight the disease. The following year, 19 teams joined him, and in 1994 a worldwide phenomenon was born making Relay for Life ACS’s signature event, according to the ACS website.

Klatt passed away on Aug. 3, 2014 after battling stomach cancer, and Molokai dedicated its Relay in his honor. Molokai organizers plan to hold next year's Relay for Life on Aug. 7.

Return To Kalaupapa

By Father Pat Killilea | St Francis Church, Kalaupapa Makani Kai touched down right on time and we taxied in to Terminal 1 at Kalaupapa's everfriendly airport. I was immediately greeted by Rev. Richard Matsushita, his lovely wife, and some members of our neighboring Congregational Church who were seeing others off to Topside. Then one lovely young lady presented me with a beautiful lei and I responded with a hug and a smooch. After one month away, I was home again in Kalaupapa.

One month prior to this day, United Airlines and Aer Lingus had carried me on their broad wings to my homeland in Ireland, where I had enjoyed three-plus weeks in the company of family and friends in County Galway. While there, I did most of the cooking for my brother, Frank, and myself and, believe it or not, neither of us got sick as a result.

I drank two cups of tea (instead of coffee) each morning and two more at tea time each evening and still had no trouble sleeping until 7:30 every morning. And didn't I have to get out of bed during the night (if you get what I mean).

After leaving my family and homeland on July 9, I spent some days in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, where I celebrated Sunday Masses

at St Mary's, my former parish, as well as at the local nursing home. I also had the pleasure of baptizing a little infant girl, Alanah Moran. I had an interview for the Diocesan Anchor paper by that delightful St Mary's parishioner and Anchor writer, Becky Aubut. After taking advantage of these days of grace to visit some longtime friends, I again took to the friendly skies of United and winged my way back to Aloha land where I was pampered for a couple of days by our Sacred Hearts Sisters in Kaimuki.

While in Massachusetts, I had heard about the storms which had visited these Hawaiian Islands but on landing here on Aug. 17, I did not witness any damage in Kalaupapa. Praise the Lord and Saints Damien and Marianne.

Here in Kalaupapa I awaited the arrival of a recliner chair shipped earlier this month on the annual barge and donated by Father Chris Keahi from St Michael's Church in Waialua. It was delivered this morning by two lovely Hawaiian girls. Mahalo nui loa, Father Chris. Come and visit Kalaupapa soon and enjoy the ease and comfort of your chair. I've enjoyed it already.

The prodigal son has returned to Kalaupapa.

Mawae Takes 2nd at Duke's

By Clare Seeger Mawae Twelve-year-old Alex Mawae from Molokai has had quite the year with the fastest growing water sport of Stand Up Paddling while racking up some credible placings in some notable events. Alex recently competed at the Duke's Ocean Fest on Oahu, taking second place in the under 17s Juniors division with the 2014 Hawaii Paddleboard Championship. The race started at Hawaii Kai and finished at Queens in Waikiki, a distance of just over nine miles.

“Training and getting ready is both fun and hard but doing the race is the most amazing feeling especially

when you cross the finish line,” said Alex.

With promising trades and a head, plus high south swell, Alex had to make some choices of whether he was to race solo or be chaperoned. He chose to go solo and start 10 minutes ahead of the main fleet of paddlers.

Alex had the race of his life experiencing what it was like to be in the lead, while paddling with some of the top paddlers at the front of the pack.

The wind was not so bad for Oahu but quite different to the roaring trades that he is used to on Molokai. The south swell was big enough for him to find courage to conquer his fears of

surf on a race board as he approached Black Point and rounded Diamond Head.

“This was the most amazing fun race and and I want to do this again,” said young Alex. He also wants to encourage other young Molokai paddlers to get out there and race.

“I cannot stop smiling when I know I have worked hard and put in my time. I love the ocean but most of all I have the highest respect for the ocean,” said Alex. “I hope more kids on Molokai can get into Stand Up Paddling as the races are so much fun.

You have no idea!”

Will

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the coming weeks it will be important for you to bestow blessings and disseminate gifts and dole out helpful feedback. Maybe you already do a pretty good job at all that, but I urge you to go even further.

Through acts of will and surges of compassion, you can and should raise your levels of generosity. Why? Your allies and loved ones need more from you than usual. They have pressing issues that you have special power to address. Moreover, boosting your largesse will heal a little glitch in your mental health. It's just what the soul doctor ordered.

well-meaning; you have pressed for a solution that was fair and just. But that hasn't been enough. So now, as long as you stay committed to creating a righteous outcome, you are authorized to invoke this declaration, origially uttered by the ancient Roman poet Virgil: "If I am unable to make the gods above relent, I shall move hell." Here's an alternate translation of the original Latin text: "If heaven I cannot bend, then hell I will stir."

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Start every day off with a smile and get it over with," said the misanthropic comedian W. C. Fields. I know it's weird to hear those words coming from a professional optimist like me, but just this once I recommend that you follow Fields' advice. In the near future, you should be as serious and sober and unamusable as you have ever been. You've got demanding work to attend to; knotty riddles to solve; complex situations to untangle. So frown strong, Scorpio. Keep an extra sour expression plastered on your face. Smiling would only distract you from the dogged effort you must summon.

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 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, is nicknamed “The Walking Dead.”

Do you know why? First activated during WW II, the infantry battalion earned its macabre nickname during the Vietnam War. In a 1966 speech former Vietnamese Prime Minister Ho Chi Minh referred to the Marines as “walking dead,” dead but not buried. The unit sustained the highest casualty rate in Marine history during the Vietnam era, according to the battalion’s webpage on Marines. Military deployed for a combat tour lasting 47 months and seven days, another record. One of the most decorated units in the Corps, 1/9 was deactivated in 1994, but stood up again in April 2007 aboard Camp Lejeune, N.C. I hope that everyone did well with the last question which was: trade of what Hawaiian product collapsed in 1830? The answer is sandalwood. Chinese markets had a large demand for Hawaiian sandalwood starting in the 1790s. The Chinese used the wood for incense, medicinal purposes, carvings and architecture. However, by 1830, the trade collapsed because Hawaiian forests were exhausted and the Chinese started obtaining sandalwood from India. The new question is, when did Hawaii’s elaborate kapu system come to an end, and who ended it?

New Veterans Affairs Secretary Bob McDonald has ordered town hall meetings at all VA facilities by the end of September to try and get a handle about

veteran’s complaints about services. In a message to staff on Aug. 5, McDonald said the meetings are designed to gather feedback from veterans and their families, but will also be open to lawmakers, veterans groups and other local individuals who work with the facilities.

“Caring for veterans is a calling and our first commitment is to provide veterans and their families the timely quality care and benefits they have earned and deserve through their service to our nation,” McDonald said in a statement. “It is critical that we continue to listen and learn directly from those who use our system.” Local facility managers will announce details of their individual town hall plans.

This week in history, Hurricane Andrew slamed through South Florida, killing at least 15 people, destroying 85,000 homes and causing more than $15 billion in damage Aug. 24-26, 1992. It was the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history. On Aug. 27, 1999, scientists report edthat for the first time, water in liquid form was found in an object from outer space, a meteorite discovered in Texas.

Aug. 29, 1893 a Chicago mechanical engineer named Whitcomb Judson is granted a patent for a device he calls a “clasp locker.” We call it a zipper.

To all of our troops around the world and our veterans all home, we send you a big mahalo. We also send a big mahalo to all the residents of Molokai for your support. If anyone has any questions, suggestions or news, please give old Jesse a call at 553-3323. I continue to depend on the information you give me.

I hope you all are had a wonderful summer, only a couple of weeks left. Remember that old Jesse loves you all, so until next week, aloha.
