New Rules for Food Businesses

Fun

for e l o e h h t W

By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

he State of Hawaii has new rules for food establishments that may bring big changes for local restaurants and groceries. “It’s kind of a big deal,” said Department of Health (DOH) Inspector Cathleen Sakamoto, of Molokai. “Chapter 50 is very different from Chapter 12 [previous law]. The whole point is to lessen food-spread illness.” Sakamoto held two workshops on the new Chapter 50 regulations last week to educate business owners and pass out information on the changes. While the new law has been years in the making, she said, Gov. Neil Abercrombie signed it into law in February. As soon as Sakamoto has notified all food establishments on Molokai of the new regulations, inspections will begin, she said. While it’s all in the name of public safety and reducing the spread of foodborne sickness, the new requirements have some food business owners scrambling to make changes. For others, like Jeff Egusa, co-owner of Friendly Market Center, the new rules aren’t causing a sweat. “I think it’s good for the consumer, less chance of illness,” said Egusa. “It seems to be pretty common sense kind of stuff.”

Look for Placards The most publicly noticeable change is a color-coded placard system that indicates the level of compliance with current regulations at each food establishment. According to the DOH, the goals of the placard system include reduction in the occurrence of foodborne illness and informing the public of the most recent inspection results of each establishment. Placards must be posted within five feet of the main entrance to the business. “It can be a major impact on your bottom line if the business down the street has [a green placard but you have yellow],” said Sakamoto. A green placard will be posted when no more than one major violation is observed during a routine inspection, and the violation must be corrected at the time of inspection. A yellow placard will be posted when a major violation remains uncorrected after inspection or when two or more major violations are present. In this case, a follow-up inspection will be conducted within two business days, and if the violations have been corrected, the yellow will be replaced with a green placard. If, however, the violations remain, the yellow placard must remain posted for one year, according to Sakamoto. A red placard, accompanied by closure of the business, will be immediately issued when multiple major violations indicating an imminent health hazard have been observed during inspection. Examples include sewage overflow, rodent or vermin infestation, no hot water or severe unsanitary conditions. The red placard and closure of the facility will remain until a follow-up inspection shows the hazards have been corrected.

Hawaii’s Finest Celebrates Five Years

By Bianca Moragne | Staff Writer

ast Saturday’s Kualapuù School Òhana Fun Fair brought crowds of families for a day that included a beauty pageant, fitness challenge, horseback and wagon rides, face painting and art booths, bounce house, and a wide assortment of food and craft booths. The event was a kick-off to the school’s 10th anniversary of converting to a charter model. The fitness challenge, pictured here, featured age-appropriate obstacle courses in a fun, “everyone wins” race over tables, through tires, into a muddy dunk-tank, and past opihi-picking challenges, all to end with a cooling water slide. The fitness event, through a partnership with Na Puùwai, promoted exercise, healthy competition and self-confidence, according to Na Puùwai’s Kari Kikukawa. Kualapuù Principal Lydia Trinidad said the celebration of the elementary school as well as its pre-kindergarten program, organized by pre-school parent Kimberly Lani, was also a fundraising event. It marked the first in a series of community events this year to both observe the 10th anniversary and raise money for the school, but also fulfilled another goal. “The purpose of this event is to get family together,” said Trinidad. “[As a school], our goal is to become more sustainable [financially.]” Coming up this year, Kualapuù School will host a Turkey Rainbow Run, a parent wine tasting event, and a 100K bike race.

awaii’s Finest Clothing has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Molokai. For Paulele Alcon, what began as a T-shirt for his cousin’s bachelor party turned into one of the most successful local clothing businesses in the state, he said. With two retail locations under his belt, Alcon decided to give thanks to the community that supported him all along. To celebrate a milestone of five years in business, Alcon returned to Molokai, the birthplace of both himself and his company. He hosted a free anniversary concert at One Alii Park Friday night featuring Molokai’s Roots Mafia, Just Cuz, Melia Kalawe and Katchafire, the band that played at Hawaii’s Finest first concert. “[The Molokai community has] been supportive since day one before I found success,” Alcon said. New Zealand’s Katchafire kicked off their first show in the U.S. on Molokai in 2007, said drummer Jordan Bell. “We love coming back here every time,” Bell said. “Not too many bands get to come out here and experience the island like we get to on a local level. The experience, the vibe and aloha from the locals here is humble.” Alcon supports local artists and gives them a platform to express their music, Bell said. “I give props to people like Paulele who’s behind the local musicians and promoting them as well as giving back to the Molokai people and community,” Bell said. “I really look up to him for that.”

he Lady Farmers dominated their home court at the Barn last weekend against Maui Prep, taking both games Friday and Saturday. At Friday night’s game, the girls won three sets 25-10, 25-18, 25-12; on Saturday, they scored 14-25, 25-18, 25-18, 25-12. The team played well for their first

game of the season, said head coach Mahea Rawlins. She said she hopes the girls will continue to work on their teamwork. “I think nerves were coming out for the first game [on Saturday],” Rawlins said. “When they play, they give it their all, but I think there’s still a lot to be worked on.”

Why I Fly with Makani Kai. “I love it,” says Leilani, who was making her first round trip on Makani Kai Air. The retired school bus driver, who was sitting in the garden area with her niece Heli, cited the level of service, “It’s good and the people here are friendly.” Leilani also likes the fact that there are no security lines, “It’s like flying used to be.” Now that she’s tried us, she’s sold, “I will continue to fly with you…it’s just so convenient.”

Channeling a United Community By Bianca Moragne

olokai’s gearing up for Na Wahine O Ke Kai and Molokai Hoe, the annual women’s and men’s canoe races from Molokai to Oahu, with the goals of celebrating the events and bringing the community together. Kulaia, a ho`olaulea on Sept. 19 organized by Molokai Canoe Festivals Committee, will welcome paddlers coming to the island for Na Wahine O Ke Kai and pays tribute to the Molokai crewmembers on the three-year Worldwide Hokule`a Voyage. The festival will be held in front of the Molokai Public Library and aims to support Molokai’s economy and businesses with various vendors and booths lining the street, said event coordinator Lori-Lei Rawlins-Crivello. While the festival is a tradition that hasn’t been carried on in recent years, organizers are seeking to return to the spirit of the celebration. “We’re trying to bring back the whole meaning of how it used to be with Kulaia, which means a day of festivities, for the races,” Rawlins-Crivello said. “It’s all about bringing something positive to our community.” Rawlins-Crivello said she hopes to bring the connection between the community, paddlers and the races back with Kulaia. “Don’t just come to Molokai for the race,” Rawlins-Crivello said of the message they’re hoping to spread to visiting paddlers. “Stay and be a part of it. Meet the community and learn about Molokai. We want to enlighten, educate and raise awareness for our resources. The event will speak for itself and its purpose is to bring it all together.” In the past, Na Wahine O Ke Kai and Molokai Hoe have been a great community event, but more recently tensions have arisen surrounding the races, said Molokai paddler Penny Martin, a longtime Na Wahine O Ke Kai participant. “It’s different from how it was before when I was younger,” Martin said. “Things are not as festive as they used to be. The race has grown; it’s so big and brings so many people to the island.” The races attract paddlers from across

the globe every year, and have transformed from a local event to an international affair. According to Martin, the main community concern with the races has been with the number of escort boats that come to the harbor and the impacts they have on the environment and Molokai’s fisheries. This has caused dissention in parts of the community, but work is being done to address it. “If we continue to verbalize, meet together and involve the different people that are concerned in the races I’m sure we can come to an acceptable solution to the problem without jeopardizing the race,” Martin said. Meanwhile, other preparations are also going on to get ready for the races. Na Wahine race coordinators are working to improve the historically rough Hale O Lono road. While canoe clubs participating in the races have done some road repairs in the past, this year major potholes will be filled with cinder to improve the road and allow smoother transportation of canoes, said Haunani Olds, assistant race director, via email. The use of cinder requires a Special Management Area minor permit, which was unanimously approved by the Molokai Planning Commission two weeks ago. Olds submitted the SMA permit request to improve road conditions for both race participants and the Molokai community, she said. “Everyone will benefit,” Olds said. “Mahalo to Maui County and everyone involved who made this possible.” Martin spoke on Olds’ behalf before the Planning Commission, testifying that the road is in disrepair, making it difficult to access the harbor. “The condition of the road is a great challenge to anyone driving to Lono and can sometimes be damaging to trucks, trailers and canoes,” she said. Molokai Ranch will donate cinder from their existing quarry on the west end. Molokai Ranch Operations Manager Dathan Bicoy and workers will bring cinder to the needed areas. As of now, seven trailers of cinder will be donated. Na Wahine O Ke Kai will be Sept. 21 and Molokai Hoe will be Oct. 12.

He works hard and he’s reliable. He’s been tight from day one and we’ll definitely be working with him a lot more in the future.” Instead of spending money on advertising and marketing Alcon gives free gear to artists, he said. “We go straight to the store and grab whatever we want for the tour: T-shirts,

Check the Temperature Holding refrigerators previously had to remain below 45 degrees, however the new rule mandates fridges be kept under 41 degrees. Raw eggs must be received from the producer at 45 degrees or less, while other refrigerated goods must be received at 41 degrees. That means when the barge comes in and employees pick up perishable items, they have to check to make sure the holding temperature is correct, or they could be penalized. “Sometimes food sits on the wharf before pick-up,” said Sakamoto. “You’ll have to tell them ‘I cannot accept my food unless it’s at 41 degrees’… There needs to be some accountability… we’ll work on that.” For some food business owners on Molokai, that’s cause for concern. “Sometimes [Young Brothers] has it sitting in the sun,” said Marlene Sproat of Coffees of Hawaii Espresso Bar, adding that by the time she comes into town from Ho`olehua, the temperature might have risen on sensitive items. “That’s what I’m scared about,” she said. “That could mean a lot of money lost if it’s too warm [and have to refuse it]. Young Brothers should work with us on this.” For others, it’s not much cause for concern. “Young Brothers tells us when they’re unloading,” said Egusa. “If you wait till 11, that’s your fault. [But] I don’t think [the DOH] has enough manpower to watch really closely [and check temperatures].” In addition to holding temperatures, Sakamoto said cooked foods must be heated above 135 degrees and kept above that temperature before being sold. Between refrigeration at 41 degrees and heated foods at 135, anything in between is subject to the “four-hour rule,” said Sakamoto, the amount of time after which certain foods need to be discarded. “The moment the ingredients are exposed to an unsafe temperature [between cold and hot], they need to be sold within four hours,” she explained. That means if spam musubi is made at 6 a.m. and left at room temperature, it needs to be sold by 10 a.m. This type of food requires a time stamp indicating the discard time.

hats and socks,” said guitarist Gee Bell. “We wear Hawaii’s Finest in the mainland and also in Australia and New Zealand to spread it around.” In the past, Katchafire’s concerts on Molokai have been for ages 21 and up, but when Alcon lined up Friday’s concert he wanted it to be open to everyone, he said. Sales at his store in Kaunakaki almost match sales at the Oahu store, and because of this support, Alcon hosted a family event. Friday's concert brought a large turnout with young and old alike crowding the stage and dancing late into the evening. “I always wanted my five-year anniversary to be special,” Alcon said. “The one thing about Molokai is their support has been crazy. Without Molokai over the years I know for a fact that we wouldn’t be afloat so this is giving back.”

contact,” said Sakamoto. “Gloves and utensils will play a big role [in food preparation]. You work in a bar and put a lime in a glass – you have to wear gloves.” The rules regarding bare hand contact of ready-to-eat foods like sandwiches, sushi and burritos have also changed. Formerly, the rules advised minimal bare hand contact as long as hands are properly washed. The new law prohibits bare hand contact with any ready-to-eat foods and enforces the use of gloves or utensils whenever handling this type of food. “Bare hand contact is a critical violation,” said Sakamoto. Along with providing a hand wash sink stocked with soap and paper towels, rules state that employees are required to wash their hands throughout the day and anytime hands may be contaminated. “A lot of diseases can be prevented simply by washing hands,” Sakamoto said. Not only must hand wash sinks be properly placed in the kitchen, they must be assessable at all times. “It’s easy to put a baking sheet over [the hand wash sink] because you need more counter space, then forget about it and use the three-compartment sink instead,” said Sakamoto, calling this scenario a violation. The three-compartment sink is required to be used for washing, rinsing and sanitation of cooking implements. The new rules also mandate that employees who are ill not work in the kitchen. She said sick workers handling food also constitutes a critical violation.

Other Changes

Under old rules, required permits were renewed every two years; the new rule requires renewal every year, with a 20 percent late payment fee. Fees to obtain and renew a food permit have also changed. Sakamoto said previously, fees were based on the number of operations conducted within the facility, with a maximum fee of $150. Now, fees are based on the assigned risk category as well as the number of square feet in the business, which means fees can now reach $600 for a hotel restaurant, she said. An advisory must now be posted if an establishment serves raw or undercooked foods such as sashimi, seared fish, undercooked-steak, etc. to inform consumers of increased risk from illness from eating these foods. The written advisory must be provided on the menu, placards or other public notification. Other new rules mandate a supervisor or person of authority must be present at all times.

The team of 14 girls brought on five freshman and two sophomores this year, after losing six seniors last season. “We’re still really young,” said MHS senior Rebecka Adolpho. “Coming together as a team is going to be a struggle for us early on in the season, but I think learning other’s tendencies, what they’re good at and being able to incorporate it in our team is what we need to work on.”

After losing the first set Saturday, the Lady Farmers came back to win the last three sets. Rawlins said the stacked front row with sisters, senior Shanrese “Lehiwa” Pedro and freshman Sehja “Luhi” Pedro, and Adolpho, make up one of the team’s strongest lineups.\ “Fighting back from the bottom isn’t easy but we did it which is a good thing,” Lehiwa Pedro said. “My team did good and I look forward to the next game.” The Lady Farmers face Lanai on Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. and Sept. 13 at noon at the Barn.

Grace Under Pressure: Miss Rodeo Hawaii By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

his year's Miss Hawaii Rodeo, Cheyanne Keliihoomalu, is making history as the first contestant from Molokai to compete in the Miss Rodeo America Pageant this December. She gained support on her home island last weekend with a fundraiser dinner held at Coffees of Hawaii. “The support has been overwhelming and I really appreciate all the love,” said Keliihoomalu. With the attendance of family and friends, the 24-year-old used it as an experience to practice her speech that she has to give at the national pageant in Las Vegas on Hawaii and the history of the paniolo culture. Describing herself as shy, Keliihoomalu and those helping her prepare said she is working on gaining confidence to present herself before a national audience. In addition to becoming comfortable in front of crowds, she also has to learn a thick book of rules for a written test, brush up on her horsemanship, prepare for pop quizzes from judges, and acquire an extensive wardrobe for the pageant portions of the competition. “Ever since she was young, she'd charge 'em,” said her grandfather, legendary paniolo Jimmy Duvauchelle. “I'm glad we have the opportunity to take the paniolo culture... to the national stage.” With just a few months to get ready to be judged on horsemanship, knowledge of rodeo, appearance and personality, Tami Deever, a National Advisory Council member who is helping Keliihoomalu prepare for the competition, said she’s been very busy. “They're looking for a well-rounded young woman,” said Deever. “We're especially happy to have a girl from Molokai... it'll be a lifestyle that [will surprise] many competitors.” At the dinner fundraiser last Saturday, Keliihoomalu was also honored with a Maui County Council resolution.

“Her years of growing up around ranching and participating in Molokai rodeos and later the Hawaii High School Rodeo Association have prepared Cheyanne for this moment,” the resolution states. “She represents Molokai, Hawaii and our culture proudly perpetuating a rich paniolo history unique to our islands.” As a sixth generation paniolo on Molokai whose family worked for Molokai Ranch, Keliihoomalu said her mother and her aunt were the first women paniolo in her family. Following in their footsteps, she never thought it would bring her this opportunity. “It's not so much win or lose, it's the experience,” said Deever. “It's taking pride in your knowledge, skills and experience. It's an experience she'll cherish forever.” Keliihoomalu is working to raise $5,000 for the trip to cover airfare, clothing for the many costume changes required and other expenses for the five-day event. Those wishing to support her can make checks payable to Miss Rodeo Hawaii Pageant and mail them to Miss Rodeo Hawaii Program, 87-839 Farrington Highway, Waianae, Hawaii 96792. Keliihoomalu said she would like to thank everyone who made Saturday’s event possible.

Molokai Fitness: Nutrition Tips By Ayda Ersoy Do you feel hungry all the time? Or do you eat whether you feel hungry or not, just because it’s your meal time? Whatever your answer is, the truth is that if you want to lose weight you need to give your body a chance to burn some of its stored fat. The biggest secret to achieving this is meal spacing! Try and eat five to six meals per day, but have smaller portions at each meal. This way you won’t feel so hungry, and you won’t get so many cravings. You’ll have more energy because your blood sugar level will remain steadier. Make sure you never skip a meal! If you miss one meal then you can be sure that hunger will drive you to snack, binge, or eat food that you did not have planned. If you eat larger meals at one time, or if your meals are too close together, then you’ll find it much harder to lose weight. Eventually you will actually gain weight, and your energy levels will decrease too. The biggest advantage of

smaller meals, well-spaced out throughout the day, is that your metabolism will actually increase each time you eat. If you can frequently raise your metabolism, then this puts you in the driver’s seat of your body. Don’t forget that if you eat one meal more than you need, then of course your body will store fat. If you have just one or two big meals each day, or too much space between each meal, then your metabolism will slow down. So be smart about what you eat, when you eat, and how much you eat. Make a plan! If you are working full time then you can prepare your meals beforehand. This way your food is ready whenever you need to eat, so you can still eat at the right times even if you don’t have so much time available. Remember to take it one day at a time. Achieving a small success on one day will make you more confident about your progress. If may look hard, but remind yourself what your goals are. You will have more energy, you will need less (or no) medicines, and you will improve your health. Stay healthy and happy!

Cultivating a Food Network By Bianca Moragne | Staff Writer

ike much of the state, Molokai imports most of the food found in its grocery stores, restaurants and schools — about 98 percent. Many Molokai residents are ready for a change and want more locally-grown foods available. That was the message received Wednesday night at Sustàina ble Molokai’s Food Hub meeting. Based on the Agricultural Needs Assessment survey conducted by Sustàina ble Molokai in 2012, 90 percent of residents surveyed said they prefer to buy Molokai-grown food products, and 98 percent answered, “Yes, I would eat more local food if it was available.” There’s a solution to that demand, said Sustàinable Molokai Food Hub Coordinator Harmonee Williams. The food hub will facilitate distribution of local products and increase supply and consumption through education and outreach – a goal it is already accomplishing. “The food hub is not a new idea,” Williams said. “The Molokai community has been talking about this for years so we feel fortunate to be able to take that idea and move it forward.” A regional food hub is a business or organization that actively manages the aggregation, distribution and marketing of source-identified food products primarily from local and regional producers to strengthen their ability to satisfy wholesale, retail and institutional demand, according to a 2012 USDA report. It’s part of a national trend of people wanting to eat more local foods, know their farmers and live healthier lives, Williams said. There are about 230 registered food hubs in the U.S. “The overall response we’ve received is that we need an on-island distribution center,” Williams said. “We really want this to be based on community input and… servicing Molokai needs.” Paddlers Inn restaurant manager Kama Hoe said the restaurant uses produce from Puù O Hoku Ranch and Barking Deer Farm and gets shrimp from Keawa Nui Farms for their menu. Paddlers Inn’s “Featured Farmers” list shares who produced the food, how and puts a face to the product, Hoe said. The food hub plans to have similar labeling. “We need to be more dependent on the island and farmers instead of on the barge,” Hoe said. “It keeps our money here. If everyone is dependent on each other, we’ll become a better community.”

Not-Too-Distant Goals Kate Cherrington, board member of nonprofit Ka Honua Momona, agreed. She said Hua Parakore, an indigenous verification and validation food system in New Zealand, driven by Te Waka Kai Ora (National Maori Organics Authority of Aotearoa), labels products, providing credibility, which can be done on Molokai. “People these days want to know the story of the places their food is sourced from,” Cherrington said. “They’re crying out for some kinds of connection and community-wellness components to their lives. This group is catching that wave.” Food hub organizers anticipate having farmers bring fresh produce in the morning and distributing to stores and restaurants by the end of the day.

However, Molokai Livestock Coop’s Randy Cabreros said based on past experience working at a grocery store, meeting consumer demands can be a challenge, and suggested having a way to store produce longer. “A warehouse [to store large quantities of food] is necessary to meet Molokai’s demands,” he said. The food hub will have a packaging center, and once more funding is granted, a certified kitchen and chiller will be introduced, Williams said. Molokai’s Food Hub was awarded a grant in February from the First Nations Development Institute, an American Indian institute that helps strengthen and revitalize the economies of Native American, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian communities. Since being awarded the grant, Sust`ainable Molokai was able to leverage funding through an Indiegogo crowd-funding campaign for the bamboo structure that will be used as a packaging center for the food hub in their permaculture farm in Ho`olehua. A Demand Study to evaluate what foods are purchased in Molokai stores is already in process. Farmers will be shown the quantity of produce Molokai consumes and how much food is needed to meet the demand, Williams said.

Local Produce in Local Schools While the physical infrastructure of the food hub is still in development, the food hub as an organization, led by its members, is already making strides. Molokai Food Hub is a vendor for USDA’s Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) that will provide free locally-grown produce to island schools. Separate from the USDA school lunch program already available to many students on Molokai, the federally-funded FFVP pays local farmers to supply fresh fruits and vegetables in selected lowincome elementary schools nationwide. Starting next month, this program will be available for the first time on Molokai at Maunaloa Elementary School. Tika Kekahuna, Molokai High School cafeteria manager, will lead distributing food to the school. She said Maunaloa Elementary’s 60 students will be served Molokai-grown produce as healthy snack options two to three times a week through the FFVP. “I want to make sure [the farmers] can provide us with enough fruits and vegetables,” Kekahuna said. “I want to keep the money here on Molokai and give it back to the farmers. That’s my intention.” The program begins in October and will be available Tuesdays and Thursdays. Farmers will sell through the food hub and a pricelist will be set. Maunaloa is just a first step; according to Williams, every Molokai elementary school qualifies for FFVP. “When it’s successful, we can get the other elementary schools to sign up,” Williams said. “We can show them a good model then all the kids on island can eat local a couple times a week. We have a chance to lead the state with the program and everyone is cheering us on.” For more info, contact Williams at 560-5410.

PUBLIC NOTICE

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION PAPOHAKU RANCHLAND FORMERLY USED DEFENSE SITE (FUDS) KALUAKOI, ISLAND OF MOLOKAI, HAWAII To help prioritize munitions cleanup and response activities, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking information from the public on the former Papohaku Ranchland Target Range. We would like information about any discoveries of munitions, current and reasonably anticipated future uses of the site, ease of access to the site, and human health, environmental, and cultural concerns. The information will be used to review the munitions response site (MRS) at the former Papohaku Ranchland Target Range under the Department of Defense’s Munitions Response Site Prioritization Protocol (MRSPP). The protocol is used to assess sites that may contain unexploded ordnance, discarded military munitions, or munitions constituents and to prioritize munitions cleanup and response activities based on relative risk to human health, safety, and the environment. The former Papohaku Ranchland Target Range is situated within the Papohaku Ranchland subdivision along Molokai's western coast approximately 4 miles northwest of the town of Maunaloa and 3 miles south of the Ke Nani Kai Resort. The Papohaku Ranchland Target Range encompasses approximately 1,500 acres and includes an offshore zone that extends 3 miles out to sea from the coast. The Department of Defense used the sites Aerial target rings for air-to-ground gunnery exercises and both high- and low-level bombing targets during World War II. The U.S. Marines reportedly staged landing exercises along Papohaku Beach during the mid-1960s. This may have included a naval bombardment of the Papohaku target area. Additional information about the former Papohaku Ranchland Target Range Site is available at the Molokai Public Library at 15 Ala Malama Street, Kaunakakai 96748.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the 2000 film Cast Away, Tom Hanks plays an American FedEx executive who is stranded alone on a remote Pacific island after he survives a plane crash. A few items from the plane wash up on shore, including a volleyball. He draws a face on it and names it "Wilson," creating a companion who becomes his confidant for the next four years. I'd love to see you enlist an ally like Wilson in the coming week, Aries. There are some deep, messy, beautiful mysteries you need to talk about.

Chinese Rose Beetles A life in the dark By Glenn I. Teves | Extension Agent, UH CTAHR The Chinese Rose Beetle, Odoretus sinicus, is one of the most insidious and troublesome garden and yard pests due its wide host range. It can feed on over 250 species of plants, including taro, beans, corn, eggplant, okra, banana, cacao, ohia lehua, heliconia, and roses. First reported in Hawaii in 1891, the Chinese Rose Beetle is found throughout Asia and the Pacific. Due to our strange weather this summer, we’ve been having more than our share of Chinese Rose Beetles. Its signature holes in leaves looks like someone took a buckshot to your plants, and its damage can stunt and even kill plants. A golden beetle the shape of a Volkswagen Beetle, the Chinese Rose Beetle is nocturnal, and will start moving around just after dark, and can usually be found finishing its meal from the night before. They emerge from their hiding places around dusk and will feed for a couple of hours, then retreat to their abode, although they will occasionally feed in overcast weather. During daylight, they will hang out in shady or dark surroundings at the base of the plant, in leaf litter or organic matter, or more likely just under the soil surface, especially on the edge of a wet area. Eggs are laid in the soil and are usually found in the top 1 ½ inches of soil, and they usually take 100 days to go through their life cycle including three larval stages and a pupa or grub stage.

If you dig a little below the surface, you usually can find a large white grub. Outdoor lights have been used to control them in rose plantings around residences at night, because bright lights repel them. If you venture outside at night in a Chinese Rose Beetle infested yard with a bright head lamp, they will attack the light and your face, and swarm around your head. More recently, low-intensity portable solar-based light-emitting diodes or outdoor solar lights have been used to deter and control them in cacao field plantings. When using solar lights with illumination intensities of 5 lux, Chinese Rose Beetle damage was decreased by 75 percent. A take-off from this idea is drilling a hole in a bowl, attaching it to the stem below the light, sealing it so it doesn’t leak, and filling it with soapy water to capture the beetles. Controlling this pest has always been a challenge, with systemic insecticides such as Sevin as the most common control method. At low populations, picking them off at night is viable option. For lowgrowing plants that don’t require cross-pollination by insects or bees, covering fields or rows with cloth barriers such as Remay cloth has been successful, and was employed on a large scale by seed companies on Molokai to grow soybeans. For more information on the Chinese Rose Beetle, you can access: extento.hawaii.edu/kbase/crop/Type/ adoretus.htm

Public Meeting Investigation at the former Makanalua Bombing Range Formerly Used Defense Site The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) announces a public meeting to present information on the completed investigation at the former Makanalua Bombing Range, a formerly used defense site at Kalawao and Kalaupapa, Island of Moloka‘i. Formerly used defense sites were used by the military for training and testing new weapons and warfare capabilities. USACE representatives will provide information on the investigation and answer any questions the public may have. The purpose of the investigation was to determine the presence and extent of contamination remaining at the site as a result of World War II military training activities. During its active period, the range was used for bombing, rocket, and strafing training. In 1946, the range was deactivated and the land reverted back to the State of Hawai‘i.

Lions Club Third Annual Walk for Sight Molokai Lions Club News Release The Molokai Lions Club third annual Walk for Sight on Molokai will take place on Saturday, Sept. 27, Saturday, from 7:30 to 10 a.m. Registration is in front of Kalele Bookstore. Club members urge the community to join them in their multiple treks through Kaunakakai raising money for continued sight programs on Molokai. All money raised in this event remains on Molokai. The sight programs include offering help to anyone who is underserved in their need for sight or hearing assistance, vision screening for elementary and preschool children, and the retina vision van project of detection for adults. Please contact Lion Linda Mina at 658-6679 or 567-6767.

Coming off a quiet summer, newly elected president Lion Ron Bauman is looking forward to continued community events which start with the Walk for Sight this month and then the Annual Halloween Costume Contest in October. There is hope that the elementary schools will support the return of the Sight is Beautiful Poster Contest for grades K through six. This project does require that the teachers endorse it. Volunteers are also planning to assist the Dept. of Health in the yearly school vaccination program. The Roar will keep you posted. Residents and island visitors are invited to fellowship with the Lions on the first and third Saturdays at 8 a.m. at Paddlers Inn. The meetings start promptly at 8:30.

The Molokai Dispatch • Sep 10, 2014 •

Mahalo to Senior Volunteers Molokai is so fortunate to have volunteers. Individuals and couples have dedicated nearly 7,000 hours of service to the community in 2014. On Aug. 26, almost 70 of these residents, under the title of Retired Senior Volunteer Persons (RSVP) were honored by the Maui County Kaunoa RSVP Program for their combined thousands of free hours

spent in 2014 helping Molokai nonprofit organizations. The annual mahalo event featured a delicious buffet brunch, a Mayor's congratulatory certificate and letters from Hawaii's members of Congress. John Wordin

Join the Choir It’s that time of the year again when the Molokai Community Choir – Na Leo Ku`ikahi – starts rehearsing for the Christmas season! Come and join the choir, made up of people from all backgrounds and skill levels. The only singing requirement to join the choir is that you must love to sing. This season, we are grateful to be hosted by the Kaunakakai Baptist Church on Tuesdays from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Returning

members, welcome back and don’t forget to bring a friend. We have a whole slew of songs ready to learn and are excited to see new and old friends alike. There is a onetime, non-refundable fee of $20 for music and practice CDs. Any further questions, I can be reached at: kristidudoit@gmail.com. Hope to see you on Tuesday! Kristi Dudoit

Day of Service Sust`aina ble Molokai News Release Sust`aina ble Molokai and the FoodCorps service members invite the community to join us next Thursday morning, Sept. 11, in a Day of Service to honor the sacrifice of those who were lost and those who united in response to the tragedy that occur on Sept. 11, 2001. In honor of all those who past, we will be planting trees on our permaculture farm behind the Molokai High School (MHS). These trees represents the spirit of unity

and compassion that followed 9/11. Engaging in service is an appropriate and respectful way to remember those were lost, pay tribute to those who rose in service, and honor those who continue to serve in our community, in any way, today. Let us keep this spirit of servitude in our community year round. For more information please call us at (808)-560-5410 or visit our website, sustainablemolokai.org.
