t usually signals unfortunate circumstances when Hawaii Life Flight (HLF) -- an air ambulance service -- arrives, but last week it was a celebration. The company has been offering emergency air medical transport on Molokai since 2006, and this year, made the island one of its bases. That means faster service for Molokai residents in need – and a better chance to save more lives, according to HLF staff. “For all time-sensitive patients, like stroke, cardiac and trauma, every second counts… It can be life or death,” said flight nurse and Molokai base manager Josh Schroeder. With the nearest bases on Oahu and Maui, the response time for HLF crew to arrive on Molokai for a call used to be between 45 minutes and an hour and a half, said Schroeder. Now, that time averages 15 minutes.

“If we can get to those patients faster, it increases their chances,” Schroeder said. “Every minute helps… We’re still doing the best we can to save as many lives as possible.” The new base means that one of the company’s aircraft, two pilots and two medical staff are on-island and on-call 24/7. Schroeder said if the plane is currently taking a patient to an off-island medical facility, they have back-up coverage from Maui or Oahu. The rotating staff of four medical crew and three pilots are dedicated to Molokai, said Program Director Dawn Guillermo. They have houses in Ranch Camp and the Heights in Kamiloloa, close to the hospital, where calls come in. HLF staff said with crews doing almost a flight a day from Molokai, it was more cost effective – as well as better for patients – for the company to create a Molokai base. “We’ve noticed the need on Molokai

has been great the last few years,” said Guillermo. Mark Leggett, medical department chief, agreed and said the company is meeting an important demand. “[Being on Molokai] it’s a more consistent, faster response with a dedicated team,” he said. Last Thursday, the company held a blessing for its new base at the Hoòlehua Airport. Keiki from Punana Leo preschool offered oli, while kahu blessed the plane, pilots, crew and HLF staff as they move forward to serve Molokai residents. HLF representatives also shared membership plans with attendees. The company’s Òhana Plus Program offers membership to families for $30 per year if they already have medical insurance. Guillermo said for those without insurance, HLF membership is $60 per year. Dawn Perreira, Òhana Plus Program

hen she was in eighth grade, Molokai High junior Momi Afelin wrote her first grant for robotics education. Fast forward three years and she has five successful grants under her belt, with the most recent awarded to the Kaunakakai Elementary robotics program last Friday morning. “I hope this grant opens the kids' eyes to all the opportunities that are out there for them in STEM,” Afelin said, referring to science, technology, engineering and math fields For the last two years, Afelin has volunteered her time as a student mentor after school at Kaunakakai Elementary to help students with their presentation skills. Last week, she presented a grant check for $1000 from the Air Force Communication and Electronic Association (AFCEA) for the school’s fifth grade robotics program. Monsanto also awarded the robotics program $250. “Robotics is alive and well at Kaunakakai and it’s happening during the school day in fifth grade,” said Afelin’s mother and Kaunakakai special education teacher Meg Fox. To date, Afelin has written three single-authored grants from AFCEA and co-authored two grants with Fox from the Maui Economic Development Board (MEDB) and Monsanto. Afelin first got in-

Molokai Paddlers Win Big at World Sprints By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

even Molokai paddlers represented Team Hawaii at the World Sprints in Rio de Janeiro Brazil and came home with 10 medals between them. Paddling on several different crews, Penny Martin, Camie Kimball, Crystal Egusa, Donna Paoa, Janice Kalanihuia, Lou Ann Reyes and Daphne Socher made the trip earlier this month and in total, earned five first places, two second places and three third places. This year, Brazil hosted the Va`a World Sprint Championships, races held in locations around the world every two years among the world's best paddlers. “It is always a proud moment to stand on the podium and receive the gold medal or any medal for Hawaii,” said Martin. “To stand there and see the Hawaiian flag flying first and highest and to hear 'Hawaii Pono`i' being played and then to know that not only are you standing there for Hawaii Nei but also for our Molokai Nui a Hina is a great feeling.” Since 2004, Martin and Kimball have raced in the event with the Island Mas-

Why I Fly with Makani Kai. Yes, that’s an awfully big name for a very small guy, but both he, his twin sister Kaiolohia and their dad like to fly on Makani Kai Air. “I like you guys because of the free parking,” says Kevin. “I have a corporate account at Mokulele and although it’s nice that they let you take your bags for free, it’s still cheaper to fly Makani Kai because the parking’s free.” Kekueneponookekai, whose name means Righteous Steward of the Sea, doesn’t say a lot yet, but he seems to agree.

and the same band that played at our first every concert… Katchafire. Also performing is Molokai’s own Roots Mafia, Just Cuz and Melia Kalawe. The party starts at 6 p.m. and will go until Katchafire runs out of songs to sing. Molokai, please come out and share this special occasion with us. The entire island is invited, all ages, and of course no ticket is needed. Just show up in your favorite Hawaii’s Finest gear and be ready for one of the biggest parties to ever hit the Friendly Isle. See you Friday night Molokai! Also make sure to stop by our Molokai Shop at 75B Ala Malama Ave and stay updated with the company at HIFinest.com!

When Molokai residents expressed their farewell to the Molokai General Store in August, many were saddened to see the one-stop shop close its doors. The Mikami family was grateful for the community support over the years, but unfortunately, was driven to close their doors due to declining sales. The Mikami family has been searching for new occupants to provide a welcomed service to the island of Molokai. Protecting the community and culture of Molokai has been the key concern with Mr. David and Jon Mikami’s search and has been very selective in their decision. Jeans Warehouse will occupy the space of the former Molokai General Store, bringing its first store to The Friendly Isle this October. This will be the company’s 29th retail outlet within the chain of Jeans Warehouse and Local Fever stores throughout Hawaii. The store will feature trendy Junior fashion, including Junior Plus sizes 1X-3X, ladies fashion, accessories, and shoes. The

manager, said the price is well worth the peace of mind. An HLF flight can cost about $10,000 and while insurance pays the majority of that cost, a family might be left with a $2,000 co-pay. Perreira said that cost, along with other medical bills, can be overwhelming. “This is one thing we can help alleviate to give peace of mind,” she said.

volved with grant writing after submitting a science fair project on robotics to the Hawaii State Science and Engineering Fair in seventh grade. It wasn’t until eighth grade that Afelin was approached by AFCEA to write a grant for her school. That year, her grant awarded $1000 for STEM education to Molokai Middle School’s robotics program from AFCEA. She’s continued writing grants every year since. When Afelin began mentoring robotics at Kaunakakai Elementary, she said she knew the school needed more funds so she took it upon herself to write grants for the school. Although grant writing is time consuming, the funding for continued education is worth it in the end, Afelin said. “There’s so much funding out there and it’s just a matter of sifting through it to find what applies to you by highlighting the challenges you can overcome through grant writing,” she said. “Coming from Molokai and being economically depressed is an advantage when you’re writing a grant because it shows you need this money for your community and for your schools.” Kaunakakai STEM coordinator Kawi-

store assortment will also include girls toddler, 4-6X and size 7-16 apparel, with accessories and shoes for our young keiki. The newest department at Jeans Warehouse is boys toddlers, 4-6X, and Men’s wear featuring casual T-shirts and shorts. There will also be several novelty treasures found throughout the store. Linda Holt recognized a need to provide Hawaii residents and visitors with a broad range of affordable junior fashion and established Jeans Warehouse in 1978. The company operates stores on Oahu, Maui, Hawaii Island, Kauai and soon Molokai and Guam. Jeans Warehouse is a locally operated company and is now a 100 percent employee-owned organization through the Jeans Warehouse Employee Stock Ownership Plan. For over 30 years, Jeans Warehouse has been dedicated to bringing the latest fashion trends, at affordable prices, to our customers and is now very excited to be part of the ohana of the island of Molokai in October, 2014.

“We’re trying to help out the community.” The $30 membership fee covers all the patient’s out-of-pocket costs for an emergency flight, according to Perreira. She added that Molokai has a current membership of more than 700 families. HLF has 90 staff statewide. The Molokai-based twin engine KingAir aircraft is medically configured and capable of transporting one stretcher patient, two medical attendants and one family member, according to their website. In addition to HLF, American Medical Response (AMR) air ambulance service also offers emergency flights on Molokai.

ka Gonzales accepted the grant checks on Friday. Gonzales works with a committee to build more STEM learning opportunities for grades pre-K through six, and the funding received will support the students. “It’s really important that our community realizes that they can contribute to and benefit the students of Kaunakakai School through volunteering and grant writing,” Fox said. Jennifer Whitted, the Kaunakakai Elementary Parent Community Networking Coordinator, is a STEM advocate and Fox said Whitted welcomes those interested in helping with the school. Afelin said she isn’t finished yet. Before graduating high school early this year, she’s addressing suicide prevention in her senior project and will write grants to provide the necessary facilities. Afelin said she’s working to create a suicide prevention group for middle school students. The students will be trained to connect peers to the preventative resources they need. So far, Afelin has been awarded $50 by Area Health Education Center. “No matter what kind of education you want to pursue, money should never be a barrier for you and there are unlimited funds out there,” Afelin said. “You just have to work your way into taping into to those funds and look at what they are asking for, what you can do with that money and how it applies to your mission.”

Having a medical emergency can be extremely frightening… luckily Hawaii Life Flight was there to transport our ‘ohana on three separate occasions. The flight crew’s level of care and professionalism were amazing. We support the ‘Ohana Plus Program 100%…one less worry, one less expense!

Film Explores CommunityBased Resource Management Pacific Islanders in Communication News Release The half hour documentary film “Fishing Pono: Living In Harmony With The Sea” tells the story of declining fisheries and how some Native Hawaiian communities are using traditional conservation practices to restore their fishing grounds. Featuring lifelong fisherman Kelson “Mac” Poepoe, narrated by Kauai native Mauna Kea Trask, and directed by award winning helmer Mary Lambert, “Fishing Pono” follows Trask as he travels to Molokai to meet Poepoe and learn how his community based conservation program succeeded. Poepoe's fishing conservation program on Molokai, based on historical practices, is an inspiring story of how one community turned the tide on a seemingly doomed resource. His community based management approach has been recognized throughout world and garnered a number of Lifetime Achievement awards for Poepoe including the 2013 Native Hawaiian Advocate of the Year award from the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation. “Fishing Pono” has won entry into a number of film festivals including Maui Film Festival, Hawaii International Film Festival, Tahiti International Documentary Film Festival, Bermuda Film Festival, Wild & Scenic Film Festival, and Ft. Lauderdale Film Festivals, among others. It recently

Paoa said she decided to form a crew of Masters women paddlers who, while they have seen success at state championships, never had the opportunity to paddle in the international field. The crew, paddling as Wa`akapaemua, consisted of four Molokai women and three from Kauai, Oahu and Hawaii Island. They won gold in the 40s double hull and bronze in the 50s double hull.

aired on PBS Hawaii. The documentary was produced by Kauai attorney and filmmaker, Teresa Tico, who was inspired to make the film after reading an article about Poepoe in a Hawaiian Airlines inflight magazine. “I was drawn to Mr. Poepoe's story because of the success of his program,” said Tico. “In the beginning, no one wanted to work with him. But over time, he convinced the community that they had to take charge of their resources and not wait for government to restore the fishing grounds. His story gives hope to future generations." “Fishing Pono” was filmed by Honolulu cinematographer Mike May on Molokai, Kauai and Oahu. Hanalei resident Eddie Abubo was production assistant. SJ Hylton and Tony LeHoven of Kilauea provided the sounding recording. Michelle Harrison of Los Angeles and Shirley Thompson of Honolulu served as editors. “Fishing Pono” is a co-production of Pacific Islanders in Communication (PIC). Major funding was provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

The seven women were among the 93 teams from Hawaii in Brazil, said Paoa. “Our experience was wonderful from start to finish,” she said. “School kids would run to us and wave... I didn’t expect how beautiful, how clean and how friendly the people... I would go again in a minute.” The Rio event from Aug. 1217 drew nearly 2,000 paddlers from around the globe. “Although we all paddled with different crews, in the end we all paddle for Team Hawaii,” said Martin. “Our kuleana is to put out the best team that we can for Team Hawaii and win medals for Hawaii.”

Farmers Host Canadians

Butterfly Garden Tiles By Frances Feeter

By Mike Kahale, MHS head football coach On Tuesday, Aug. 19, the Molokai community was treated to a football game that had a bit of international flair. The Farmers hosted Holy Trinity Academy from Alberta, Canada. A group of 26 athletes made the 3,100 mile trip to Hawaii to play in a pre-season matchup. Both teams agreed to compete in a "controlled" scrimmage format, forgoing any special teams and allowing each team to concentrate on offensive and defensive plays. The format also gave each team the opportunity to substitute three different groups, giving everyone a chance to play. Molokai scored on their first offensive drive with a touchdown pass to Kaimana Kahale. Sophomore quarterback John-Michael Mokiao-Duvachelle passed for two additional touchdown passes to Willie DelaCruz during the game. Alden Abafo added two more touchdown runs of 20 and 43 yds. The final score ended at 30-6 in

Molokai's favor. We’d like to express our appreciation to the Canadians for making the trip to Molokai. Our athletes hosted the opposing team in their homes for two nights. Relationships were built and friendships made which extend beyond the game of football. This was a great experience for all that were involved. The next MHS football game is Saturday, Sept. 13 on Lanai. First home game is Saturday, Sept. 27 vs. St. Anthony at 11 a.m. It's that time of the year again for our Annual Football T-shirt fundraiser. This year's theme is "Rise Up - E Ho'okanaka.” Order your 2014 design now! It's our biggest fundraiser and has helped our athletes suit up, travel to off-island games and continually provides funds to operate a successful Football Program on Molokai. Athletes will be coming around to ask you to purchase shirts. Please support them. T-shirts are $15 each with an up-charge for XXL ($17) and 3XL ($18).

Kualapuù School Receives $50K Grant Hoòkakoò and Kualapuù School News Release Hawaiian Airlines Foundation has awarded a $50,000 grant to Kualapuù Public Conversion Charter School for two new projects essential to the educational achievement of its students: Project KukaÌke STEM Education Program and Project Kuakupono Student Support Services Program. Project KukaÌke STEM Education Program is a school-wide initiative to expand STEM education (science, technology, engineering and math) for students in Kindergarten through sixth grades. According to Sue Forbes, the school’s Math and Science Curriculum Coordinator, “The goal is to prepare teachers to provide a robust, hands-on STEM education with a focus on the environment and agriculture that the children of Molokai can easily relate to, and which significantly improves their achievement in math and science.” With the island’s high unemployment and limited resources, and with 84 percent of the school’s student body considered low income, Kualapuù students and other children on Molokai face unique challenges impacting their education. The school’s new Project Kuakupono Student Support Services Program was developed to close gaps in student support services through a coordinated, school-wide continuum of culturally-competent prevention and intervention services, faculty training in student support, and family outreach and community referrals. “It's a real honor to be one of

Hawaiian Airlines Foundation inaugural grantees,” says Lydia Trinidad, Kualapuù Principal. “We feel strongly that an early support and intervention system helps to build a solid foundation for the future of our children as they move through the middle and high school ages. Trinidad added that Hawaiian Airlines’ support makes it possible for the school to enhance the services it can offer to our students and their families during these times of economic challenges facing our school and our community. Kualapuù School serves 330 students in Pre-K through 6th grade of which 92 percent are of Hawaiian ancestry and 84 percent are low income. As Molokai’s only accredited elementary school, only charter school, and only elementary Hawaiian language immersion school, Kualapuù is an invaluable educational resource for the island’s early learners. For more information about Kualapuù School or how to support Project KukaÌke STEM Education Program and Project Kuakupono Student Support Services Program, contact David Y. Gibson, Development Director, at (808) 983-3830 or dgibson@hookakoo.org. Hoòkakoò Corporation, a non‐ profit, charter management organization and governing school board in Hawaii, operates a network of high quality, Hawaiian-focused charter schools, including Kualapuù School, serving over 1,500 children in Pre-K through 12th grade from high-need communities on Oahu, Molokai and Hawaii Island.

WEEKLY EVENTS

Hawaii Island and Molokai. Fellows were selected through a rigorous application and selection progress, including a written application, phone interview and in-person interview. Selection is based on candidates' experience in both professional and community settings and their commitment and passion to serve as a leader for Hawaii's future. Noordhoek is the cofounder and the executive director of Sustainable Molokai with responsibilities for organizational management, board relationships, fund development, program planning, and community collaborations. Under her leadership, Sustainable Molokai has become a highly successful and trusted organization featuring programs in energy efficiency, food security, and economic development. Previously, Emillia was the

resource development and marketing director for Molokai Habitat for Humanity. The Omidyar Fellows program launched in 2012 with 13 fellows in its inaugural year. The motivation to create the Omidyar Fellows program originated with Pierre Omidyar, who recognized the desire within the community for transformative learning opportunities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When my daughter Zoe was seven years old, she took horse-back riding lessons with a group of other young aspirants. On the third lesson, their instructor assigned them the task of carrying an egg in a spoon that they clasped in their mouths as they sat facing backwards on a trotting horse. That seemingly improbable task reminds me of what you're working on right now, Libra. Your balancing act isn't quite as demanding, but it is testing you in ways you're not accustomed to. My prognosis: You will master what's required of you faster than the kids at Zoe's horse camp. Every one of them broke at least eight eggs before succeeding. I suspect that three or four attempts will be enough for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I don't usually do this kind of thing, but I'm going to suggest that you monitor the number six.

Moòmomi Beach Clean-up Mahalo to everyone who came out to enjoy a beautiful day at Moòmomi Beach on Aug. 16. Thanks to Kahi Pacarro, Aaron Char, Pono and Trisha Martin and the rest of the awesome team from Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii for helping to create the first Moòmomi Beach Cleanup. The group came from off island prepared and did a great job. There was a great turnout and in the end over 7,000 pounds of marine debris was removed from Moòmomi Beach. Everything was sorted and will be sent to Oahu, most to be recycled. I would like to say mahalo to Friendly Market for not even thinking twice when I asked for kokua in feeding our volunteers. Jeff helped to provide us with 300 hot dogs that fed our hungry, hard-working volunteers. It was great to feel supported by them in doing something good for the community. Most importantly thank you to the people who took time out of their day

to come and help. We appreciate each and every one of you. It was not only about the experiences we had but the friendships and connections we made along the way. My ohana has been born and raised here and it felt great to be giving back to Mo`omomi, the place that has provided food for us for generations. It was sad to realize just how many tons of trash washes onto our north shore. If you didn't make it out that day, you can still do your part in helping to keep our beaches clean by throwing away your trash when you are enjoying the beach, by reusing, reducing, recycling and learning how harmful plastics are to our environment. Stay tuned for the next beach cleanup. It was the first but certainly not the last. Mahalo from Wayne, Fina Kaauwai and Ohana

Making an Impact A little late but we would like to thank everyone who touched and made an impact on Mom's/Grandma's life. Special thanks go out to the Tamanahas -- Rick, Theresa, Hela, Thomas, Todd and Aunty Janet for all of your love, support, and labor. We would have truly been lost without you. A world of appreciation also to the Britos for their love, her Tuesday outings and the sweet potato fries. Althea and Nathalie Childs for their support and love, the staff of Na Pu`uwai for their

nurturing. Hospice, especially Donna and Barbara with the Ho`olehua Fire Department for their unrelenting care. And everyone else too numerous to mention who brightened her life. She was truly blessed. We miss her but take comfort in knowing that Mom/ Grandma or Aunty Norma as she was also known is once again with the love of her life and smiling with that little twinkle in her eye.
