At the Kulaia festival on Friday night to celebrate Sunday’s Na Wahine O Ke Kai canoe race, the Dispatch asked attendees, “For you, what is the significance of paddling in the Molokai community?”

ith flat water and a clear sky above, Waikiki Beachboys Canoe Club wahine paddlers placed first out of 61 crews at the 36th annual Na Wahine O Ke Kai race last Sunday morning. Paddling 42 miles across the Ka`iwi Channel from Molokai to Oahu with top teams from around the world, Waikiki Beachboys crossed the channel in 5 hours 29 minutes 12 seconds. Alanna Bender, a paddler for Waikiki Beachboys, said her team trains in flat water and expected light trade winds during the race. She said these conditions are better than heavy winds and high surf that can cause the canoe to spin out or flip over. “It’s definitely going to be a fight until the very end but hopefully we can do it,” she said, as she joined hundreds of fellow paddlers at Hale O Lono before the race. “A race like this, especially for women, who fought really hard

for this race, is amazing.” Bender said she comes from a family of paddlers and has been paddling for 19 years. “This race shows that you can do it,” Bender said. “You can be strong, embrace nature, persevere through anything and keep the culture and tradition alive.” For the first time in several years, Molokai did not have its own crew competing, but two local women joined other teams to make the crossing. Molokai paddler Coral Gonzales, who paddled this year with defending champions Team Bradley of Maui, said the race will be a good learning experience. Team Bradley did a practice run on flat water days prior, which better prepared them for the race, Gonzales said. Team Bradley placed second in Sunday’s race finishing in 5 hours 30 minutes 25 seconds. “Paddling feels good inside and

it helps motivate the younger generation to learn and get into ocean sports,” Gonzales said. Another Molokai paddler, Sydney Kalipi, joined Maui’s Kahana Canoe Club for the race. Kahana finished in 21st place. The annual race is organized by the Na Wahine O Ke Kai Association and race director Hannie Anderson. Tides and changing winds make the Ka`iwi Channel unpredictable each year Anderson said, and this year’s flat water made for a physically challenging race. “They won’t have the assistance of any surf or wave bumps,” Anderson said. “They are going to have to paddle all the way across.”

Behind the Scenes There’s a lot of work that goes into making the race happen.

Lohiao Paoa, Molokai Canoe Club paddler

People think of Molokai as the most Hawaiian island and paddling is the main Hawaiian sport for us to practice and express our culture. It’s not a competition, but more of us getting out there and being a team. It’s a blessing to be a part of it.

Elaine Callinan, Wa`akapaemua Canoe Club recreational paddler I love paddling. Here paddling is the whole community. Everyone has done it and is doing it on all levels. I feel paddling is an integral part of the Molokai community.

Mel Paoa Jr., Molokai captain for the Hokule`a Besides being a tradition passed down from our ancestors, paddling is healthy and good for the body, organized, clean and it brings everyone together. It’s a way to express love and aloha.

Fred Reyes, Island Air agent Paddling is a big part of our Hawaiian culture and that is everything for our community.

Perpetuating Taro By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

ripping with sweat and covered in a layer of red Molokai dirt, attendees of last Saturday’s Taro Field Day still had smiles on their faces as they emerged from chest-high, heart-shaped leaves with arms full of taro plants they had harvested. The annual event at the Molokai Applied Research and Demonstration Farm at UH Maui Community College Farm in Ho`olehua offers community members a chance to learn about the history, culture and preservation of taro through presentations, as well as taste test poi and kulolo made from various types of taro. Attendees can then venture into the field after receiving a labelled map to select and harvest plants of their favorite varieties. “Kalo has aloha in its DNA,” said one kupuna who wished to remain anonymous, bending over a bucket of carefullycleaned huli, or the portion of taro harvested for replanting. “Kalo has a lot to teach us… it’s our original ancestor.” He said he comes back to Taro Field Day every year for the same type of taro, a

Japanese variety called Zu`ike. Unlike most kalo, the leaves of this variety can be eaten raw, he said. “These are my grandchildren,” said the kupuna, waving his hand over the line of tender, tall light green leafed plants. A few years ago, when the farm’s plants of this variety began to die out, they called him and asked if they could dig up some of his Zu`ike. Now, the plants he harvested at the farm last Saturday were descendants of his stock, he said. Faith Tuipulotu, who has worked at the UH Molokai Extension farm for

Banana Root Borer: Spreading the Aloha By Glenn I. Teves, County Extension Agent | UH CTAHR The Banana Root Borer is one of the most destructive insects of banana, and was brought to Molokai in the mid-1980s with Dwarf Apple Banana planting material from a quarantined area in Waimanalo. First at the Molokai Agricultural Park, corms were shared with residents and before long, it spread through most of the island. Large whitish grubs or larvae of the Banana Root Borer cause extensive damage by boring holes through the corm, affecting plant vigor, stunting, and early death of plants. The adult Banana Root Borer is a black beetle about ½ inch in length, with a large curved snout. A poor flyer, it moves around by walking from one banana mat to the next, especially at night, and hides in banana debris during the day. They live in decaying plant material such as cut stumps and leaves. The main source of dispersal to new areas is by humans sharing infected banana corms. Once in a new location, the Banana Root Borer can easily walk from one banana patch to the next. Once fields are infested, the Banana Root Borer is difficult to control. A couple of methods can determine if the Banana Root Borer is in your area. You can dig out a mature corm and inspect it. Infested corms are riddled with ¼ to 3/8 inch holes. Fallen trees from an otherwise healthy patch can indicate infestation. Another method is trapping them by splitting two to three-foot sections of banana stumps in half lengthwise and laying it on the ground. Lifting and inspecting them every two to three days will reveal a black beetle. When found, they usual-

ly play dead, and should be removed from the area. Adult beetles can live as long as two years. When planting new banana fields, all planting material need to be inspected and trimmed, preferably away from the planting area. Disinfest corms by chopping off the bottom half and removing the outer covering of the remaining corm to reveal the white starchy interior. Any discoloration and holes need to be cut out, and disposed of. Also remove at least one layer of the trunk or compressed leaves. If damage is too extensive, throw the corm away. Once clean and free from holes and discoloration, do a second stage of treatments to assure borer-free corms, and there are at least three options. One is by dipping trimmed corms in hot water at 122 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes. This is the best method and it will also control nematodes, another major banana pest. The second method is by dipping corms in boiling water for two to three seconds, while the third method is by soaking corms in a 10 percent solution of Clorox for three minutes. New plants can be propagated from small keiki, and large eyes can also be cut out and propagated in pots in order to start with clean material. Using smaller, easy to inspect planting material lessens chances of reintroducing this pest or reinfesting an area. One recommendation for control of the Banana Root Borer is the removal of all plant debris from harvesting activities, including stumps and leaves. As with many of the pests we deal with on Molokai, preventing their introduction is the key.

Molokai Fitness: Nutrition Workshops By Ayda Ersoy I am excited to share some great news with you this week. I’m starting my new free nutrition workshops on Molokai. Finally we will have a chance to meet and talk face to face! I’ve just been given the license for Hawaii from The Diet Doc, which will be the basis of my new business. The Diet Doc is a scientific and natural approach to permanent weight loss, founded 20 years ago, and now with more than 40 locations across the U.S. and on four continents. It has helped thousands of people around the world lose weight, and keep it off; it has actually helped people lose a total of more than 100,000 pounds! For Molokai, I’m holding a series of free workshops to teach you a lot about the Diet Doc approach. Our goal is to teach you about nutrition, so you can become your own nutritionist. And I say “our” because behind me is a big network of Diet Doc specialists and a huge social media support on Facebook and Twitter. I would love to share the secrets behind permanent weight loss with you. This should be your last diet ever! Learning how to lose weight and keep it off,

means changing the way that you think about food. I know you’re now probably thinking that you won’t be able to eat what you like, that you’ll have to follow certain diet programs. No, not this time! I will help you find the nutrition that fits in with your life style. We just need to work together. I’m going to be holding a series of free classes, the next one will be Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 6 p.m. at Home Pumehana, with new classes every couple of weeks. By the end of this transformational workshop you will learn about your macronutrients (protein, carbs and fat); how to have control over what you eat, when you eat, and how much you eat; how to find freedom from emotional eating; that following a diet is actually really easy; to understand your body much better than anyone else ever can; and cooking tips and fun recipes. Most importantly you will learn to see a new self-image, support and love yourself for who you are, while becoming the person you always wanted to be -- emotionally, mentally and physically. I can’t wait to see you there! You can check out my website DietDocHawaii.com to learn more about the science behind The Diet Doc, and to find the exact workshop schedule.

aunakakai Elementary hosted their first annual Cultural Night last Friday, complete with belly dancing and a balut eating contest, to showcase the cultural diversity within the community. Parents and community members with many ethnic backgrounds from Fiji, Micronesia, Philippines, Russia, France, Mexico, Japan, Ireland, Turkey, and of course Hawaii, came together to expose students and their families to some of the cultures that make our community unique. The goal of the evening was to educate and enrich the students by allowing them to “explore” other countries foods, traditions, and languages without even leaving the island, according to coordinators of the event, Parent Community Network Center Coordinator Jennifer Whitted and Physical Education teacher U`i Kalani. As they walked in the door, attendees received a passport for virtual travel. Each country was assigned a booth, and passports needed to be stamped at each country’s station. After a whirlwind of global travel with each passport fully stamped, families sat down for a complimentary dinner from Italy which was produced by the school cafeteria. Students and families also got a sampling of food and culture at each booth. In Fiji, they tasted curry, while Japan featured sushi and the Bon dance. Turkish culture

Recreational paddler Penny Duvauchelle said paddling is a time to get out on the water and enjoy fellowship with family, friends and the community. “It’s about doing something healthy for myself and loving our island,” Duvauchelle said. This is New Zealand native Sugar Te Paa’s first year paddling in Na Wahine O Ke Kai canoe race. She has been paddling for 15 years and raced with the international Ocean of Hope team. Every year, Ocean of Hope dedicates their racing to those affected by cancer, Te Paa said. “[Kulaia] gives opportunity for the community to be exposed to international paddlers,” she said. “It’s events like these that bring the town together for a common purpose, even though they may not paddle. It’s brings a reason to celebrate and foster the community spirit.” While the festival is a tradition that hasn’t been carried on in recent years, organizers wanted to return to the spirit of the celebration, said event coordinator Lori-Lei Rawlins-Crivello. She said this is just the beginning and Kulaia’s purpose is to bring everyone together. Community members were invited to take a survey during the event. Based on the response, the event could become annual, Rawlins-Crivello said. The festival featured performances from musician Kawika Kahiapo, the Ho`okena band and Grammy-awardwinning Molokai artist Raiatea Helm. The event was broadcasted live for KPOA radio station by emcee Alaka`i Paleka and Ke`van Dudoit.

was highlighted through belly dancing and traditional musical instruments. Mexico offered mini crispy taco bites and Micronesia had raw fish and squid, while attendees learned about lei making from Hawaii. Also, informative presentations from Russia, France, and Ireland, and lastly a sari sari store, and tinkling dance by the Philippines. Meanwhile attendees were serenaded with traditional folk songs by Bob Underwood. What cultural night would be complete without a balut eating contest? Balut is a Filipino delicacy comprised of a duck or chicken embryo that has incubated for 21 days then boiled. Adults and kids alike came together to put their taste buds to the test, with only one being the victor. While this was the school’s first event of its kind, organizers say they are already looking forward to hosting cultural night next year. “It was everything I imagined it would be,” Kalani said.

mid a sea of mingling visiting paddlers and residents, hula performances, vendor booths and ono food, Friday evening’s Kulaia festival brought the connection between the community, paddlers and Na Wahine O Ke Kai race back to Molokai. Organized by Molokai Canoe Festivals Committee, the hoòlaulea welcomed paddlers coming to the island for Sunday’s race, as well as paid tribute to the Molokai crewmembers on the threeyear Worldwide Hokuleà Voyage. The event was held in front of the Molokai Public Library with vendors and booths lining the street that was blocked off for the occasion. Penny Martin, Molokai paddler and crewmember on the first Hokuleà voyage, introduced the three Molokai voyagers participating in the vessel’s Worldwide Voyage. The crewmembers, Keoki Pescaia, Mahina Hou Ross and Uncle Melvin “Mel” Paoa Jr, will fly to Samoa and sail to New Zealand. The Hokuleà departed the Swains Atoll, on Sept. 17 for Pago Pago, Samoa, before the next leg that goes to Aotearoa, New Zealand begins. Paoa, Molokai captain who has sailed on the Hokuleà since the early 1980s, was honored at the event. “We are proud of him as our captain and appreciate all the years he has put into serving, not only Hokuleà, but Molokai as well, and representing us in the most positive way,” Martin said. “We love you and wish you many more voyages.”

ast Wednesday, 12 adventurous Molokai residents, with paint brush and palette at the ready, tried their hand at acrylic painting as the sun set behind Tante’s at Hotel Molokai. The Art Bar workshop, offered by the Molokai Arts Center, was the first of its kind on the island, but is part of a growing national trend to make art fun and accessible. Guided by instructor Laura Pilz, graphic designer at The Molokai Dispatch,

participants recreated a photo of a colorful heliconia flower. While the painting came together, attendees also enjoyed the company of new friends and a beverage from the bar. By the end of the two hour class, participants had their own work of art to proudly display at home. Organized by Molokai Arts Center member Kathy Tachibana, the Art Bar received rave reviews and Arts Center staff said they hope it will become a regularlyoffered event.

Kalaupapa Munitions Clean-Up Plan Proposed

Kalaupapa Photo Exhibit Opens

By Bianca Moragne | Staff Writer

Ka `Ohana O Kalaupapa News Release

hough Kalaupapa is historically known as a place of exile for Hansen’s disease patients, the peninsula was also used as a bombing range during World War II. As with other Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDs) across the country, ongoing efforts to locate and remove unexploded ordnance -- or bombs that never detonated -- have begun. After completing a remedial investigation and feasibility study, the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has proposed a plan to clean up the area. The former Makanalua Bombing Range, a 937-acre region on the northwest side of the Kalaupapa peninsula, was used by the U.S. Army for military bombing, rockets and gunnery practice from 1941 to 1946. The USACE, Native Hawaiian Veterans – a company that provides services relating to security, emergency management and explosives -- and a munitions response company called USA Environmental and others are spearheading a clean-up effort. Representatives met with the Molokai community to discuss their investigation and the proposed plan last week. Bradford McCowan, the Worldwide Environmental Remediation Services (WERS) program manager with USA Environmental, said a preliminary assessment in 1999 revealed the presence of three to five-pound practice bombs in the area. A site inspection mandated by Congress and completed in 2008 determined the area needed to be investigated further after finding munitions that needed to be properly disposed of, he said. As a result, a six-week remedial investigation and feasibility study was conducted in February and March of 2013. During the six weeks, crews removed munitions from the Makanalua Bombing Range. All explosives were evaluated and, if necessary, safely detonated by explosives experts. Both archeologists and biologists accompanied the teams to ensure natural and cultural resources were not disturbed. “We used instruments to find the distribution of bombs,” McCowan said. “We found Mark-23 practice bombs, used by dive bombers in World War II …we didn’t find any high explosives bombs.” According to McCowan, the remedial investigation recommended further action for munitions and explosives found in the target site of 235 acres of land, which is open to the public. The feasibility study used the data collected during the investigation and developed seven alternatives on how to clean up the FUD site. The seven alternatives were discussed internally with the agencies and one was chosen for remedial action. This proposed alternative must be discussed and accepted by the community. The community has 30 days to comment and decide on the proposed plan, McCowan said. The proposed plan, Alternative Four, is the surface removal of munitions, those found above ground, on trails and roads and 25 feet around them in the high density area of the site. The high density area is 38 acres and where a majority of munitions are

NA WAHINE Continued From pg. 1 Moku Buchanan, owner of Molokai Security Services, and his family began setting up and cleaning up the women’s and men’s races in 1980. From bringing in the stage and connecting the sound system to directing traffic and cleaning up the beach, the Buchanan `ohana works to organize this effort every year. They start planning about a year in advance, and a couple months before the race, form a staff crew for the day, Moku Buchanan said. “We do it all for the paddlers,” he said. “These races were a huge highlight in the year for me when I was growing up. Everybody used to camp out down here and it was a really fun weekend back then.” Moku Buchanan said the festivities have changed over the years. Nonetheless, his family’s support for aiding in donating barrels for trash, placing traffic cones along the road and collecting carpet used under the canoes before the launch, has remained steadfast over the years.

located within the target site. Alternative Four will cost $4,860,865 and is funded by the Department of Defense, McCowan said. By law, USACE and USA Environmental are required to visit the site to assess the area every five years. According to McCowan, the fiveyear review program will continue to monitor cleanup progress on the site. When the 30 days for the community to submit comments on the proposed plan has finished, a decision document, or official record of the decision, will be created by the USAEC. This could take one year. Once the decision document is signed, a plan will be made to complete the first review, five years later, McCowan said. The five-year review could trigger future clean-ups to make sure the site is safe, said Lori Wong, USACE project manager. This process will continue until the site is clean. The goal of the proposed plan is to reduce potential explosive safety hazards to site visitors and Kalaupapa National Historical Park staff and preserve the historical character and spiritual heritage of the park, McCowan said. “These trails are the ones most heavily used and where the public is likely to traverse in the target site,” Wong said. “If [the presence of munitions] changes we’ll come back sooner and revisit it.” Molokai activist and meeting attendee Walter Ritte said he is concerned for the munitions found and the Army’s obligation to protect the public. “There’s a lot of politics concerning these types of things,” Ritte said. “I’m worried because there’s history to this place, and as a Hawaiian that’s where my ancestors lived, and our goal is to have our ancestors live there again. I want them to clean-up that rubbish to the cleanest possible.” Lori Buchanan, field and outreach coordinator with Molokai Maui Invasive Species Committee (MoMISC), said she agrees. She said she wants to see more community involvement and other FUDs on Molokai addressed. “My concern spreads to Ilio Point on the west end, another bombing site, Kaluakoi [Villas] and Papohaku [Beach],” Buchanan said. “I want to see research and a clean-up project there.” The USACE and USA Environmental representatives emphasized safety for those living near former bombing ranges. They advise residents use the three R’s if they find unexploded ordnance: recognize, retreat and report to the police. Explosives technicians will inspect them and if necessary, remove and detonate them safely. “…You should comment on [Alternative Four] and tell us why you agree or disagree,” Wong said. “We are trying to reach out to the public as much as we can…because we need to make sure the public is aware of what we’re doing.” You can find the site inspection, remedial investigation and feasibility study at the Molokai Public Library. Contact Lori Wong at 835-4090 to submit comments.

“A Reflection of Kalaupapa: Past, Present and Future,” an exhibit of about 100 photographs of Kalaupapa and her people will open at the Molokai Museum and Cultural Center in Kalae on Saturday, Sept. 27, with a blessing at 10 a.m. Opening day festivities, open to the public, will run through 2 p.m. The museum will waive entry fees on that day only. The exhibit will be on display at the museum through Aug. 29, 2015. The exhibit was produced by Ka `Ohana O Kalaupapa, a nonprofit that includes Kalaupapa residents, family members/descendants and friends of the community. The show recently wrapped up a month at Kalaupapa’s Paschoal Hall, where it drew 572 visitors – an astonishing number for such a small community. The exhibit was popular not only with visitors on Damien Tours, but also among residents, staff and overnight visitors or volunteers. “It was wonderful to see the enthusiasm from so many people who wanted to view the exhibit,” said `Ohana President Boogie Kahilihiwa, a Kalaupapa resident for more than 50 years, whose photograph is featured. “We hope the people on topside [Molokai] are just as interested in seeing our exhibit – they will probably see pictures of old friends and learn about other people they have only heard about.” Many of the photos were taken by acclaimed photographer Wayne Levin who began visiting Kalaupapa in 1984. Levin will attend the opening as will others who have strong ties to Kalaupapa. It is hoped that school groups – especially Hawaiian history classes – and kupuna organizations can visit to learn more about Kalaupapa history and the people who helped create that history. The exhibit is dedicated to the late Sarah Miala Meyer Kaopuiki Benjamin, whose childhood home is next to the museum, the former Meyer

Men have been racing across the channel in the Molokai Hoe paddle race since 1952. At the time, many coaches and officials insisted women could not handle the treacherous channel, but in 1975 two Oahu women’s crews — Onipa`a and Healani — proved skeptics wrong after competing in an unofficial competition, according to Anderson. Four years later, 17 wahine crews competed in the first official Na Wahine race. Hannie Anderson and the late Leinani Faria, another colleague who shared the dream, officiated the first crossing, she said. Na Wahine O Ke Kai attracts veteran and novice paddlers across the state and around the world to become part of the legacy. Although they are competing, the paddlers say they share a passion for the sport that keeps it alive. “This is how our ancestors traveled from canoe and it’s natural to be on the ocean and paddling to another island,” Kalipi said. “It’s awesome and we cannot let it disappear. We have to remind people that it’s more than competition but a part of our culture.”

Sugar Mill. Sarah was sent to Kalaupapa in 1942 after she was diagnosed with leprosy, or Hansen’s disease. She became a second mother to many youngsters who were taken from their families and isolated at Kalaupapa. She was also a leader in Kanaana Hou Church and respected for her knowledge of Hawaiian traditions, language and medicinal plants. Sarah is buried near the museum in the Meyer Family Cemetery, where the opening ceremonies on Saturday will begin. “It’s especially fitting that this exhibit is here because of our close connection to Aunty Miala [Sarah],” said Noelani Meyer Keliikipi, executive director of the Molokai Museum and Cultural Center, and great-niece of Sarah. “We’re pleased to be able to honor all the people of Kalaupapa and their families with this exhibit.” The `Ohana produced a new 10-minute video to introduce exhibit visitors to the people of Kalaupapa. Visitors will also be given an exhibit guide, at no cost, that contains more information about the history of Kalaupapa based on the words of the people themselves. For more information, call the Molokai Museum and Cultural Center at 567-6436.

MHS Students Visit East Coast Colleges

By Ric Ornellas

A Long History

Molokai High School (MHS) 2013 graduate Michael Kikukawa is the first Molokai student to study at Harvard, a recognized institution in the world of higher education. Michael’s current academic standing as a Harvard sophomore inspires other MHS students to broaden their horizons in higher education. On Friday, Oct. 3, 14 MHS students will travel to New York City and New Haven, Connecticut, to visit universities and colleges to consider post-high school educations on the East Coast. The students are members of the Molokai College Career Tour Club (MCCTC), a new MHS student club. The students will visit Columbia University, Barnard College, Fashion Institute of Technology, New York University, and Yale University in New Haven, CT. The students have average grade point averages of 3.70 to 4.10, are members of one to three athletic teams, and participate as club, class or student-body leaders. The students and their families worked over the past year to raise all funds to pay for the trip, including the Keola Beamer Dinner Concert on Valentine’s Day in February, 2014. Thank you to all Molokai donors who gave and sponsors who sup-

ported the students. In addition to college visits in NYC, the students will pursue career readiness by forming three-member work teams to visit one of four locations: a Wall Street investment bank, an architectural firm, a construction site, and a diplomatic mission to the United Nations. The students will visit the ABC Studio set of The Dr. Oz Show to explore career development with the show’s Emmy-winning producer and talent coordinator. They will experience NYC as college students rather than tourists by traveling only by subway and purchasing their meals in neighborhood coffee shops, delis, or restaurants instead of pre-ordered hotel dining. On Thursday, Oct. 30 at 6 pm, students will share their NYC and New Haven experiences with the Molokai community in multi-media presentations at Ohana Night at the MHS Library. A special invitation to former New Yorkers who are now Molokai residents… please join us! MCCTC President is Edel Mae Alvarez, Vice President is Edwin Ekolu Greenleaf, Secretary is Geisha Nunez, and Alexandria Simon is treasurer, with Co-Advisors Diane Mokuau and Ric Ornellas, and chaperones Karen Harada and Suliana Aki.

Makani Kai Air Expands Molokai Service

Former Kualapu`u School Clerk Sentenced for Theft

Makani Kai News Release

Dept. of the Attorney General News internal audit conducted by the school Release

Makani Kai Air is now offering three more daily round trip flights between Honolulu and Molokai on Sundays and four more round trips on Fridays. “We’re expanding the number of flights on those days in response to the number of passengers who were finding it difficult to get seats on those days,” said Richard Schuman, president of Makani Kai Air. “Since we began our service to topside Molokai last June we have been extremely happy with the number of Molokai residents who now call us their airline.”

Located at 130 Iolana Place along Lagoon Drive, Makani Kai Air is on the other side of the airport, away from the terminals and congestion. Parking is close by, there are no TSA lines and the airline generally recommends people arrive just 15 minutes prior to departure. Makani Kai Air Charters, an FAA 135 scheduled air carrier, was established by Schuman Aviation Company, Ltd., in 2009. The company’s website offers one way tickets between Molokai and Honolulu and Honolulu and Molokai for $50, every seat, every day.

A former clerk at Kualapu`u Public Charter School was sentenced on Sept. 18, to three counts of second degree theft by Maui Circuit Court Judge Joseph E. Cardoza, according to state Attorney General David M. Louie. Sonja Domingo pled guilty to the charges on July 8. Domingo was charged with three counts of Theft in the Second Degree, a class C felony, for stealing $12,478.65 from Kualapu`u School between Aug. 28, 2012 and Jan. 14, 2013. At the time of the thefts, Domingo was employed as a clerk at the school and was responsible for collecting and depositing payments from students and parents for meals, fundraisers, and a book sale. An

determined that Domingo falsified receipts and failed to deposit monies she received. Domingo was sentenced to five years of probation. Terms and conditions of her probation require her to serve 90 days in prison, which requirement was suspended for six months to allow her to find a full time job that will allow her to pay restitution, pay restitution in the total amount of $12,478.65, and complete 350 hours of community service. At the sentencing, Domingo made a $1,000 payment towards restitution and completed an apology letter that will be submitted to the school.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "I am a seed about to break," wrote Sylvia Plath in her poem "Three Women." That's how I see you right now, Libra. You are teeming with the buoyant energy that throbs when a seed is ready to sprout. You have been biding your time, gathering the nourishment you need, ARIES (March 21-April 19): It's no secret. The wealthy waiting for the right circumstances to burst open with your one percent of the population has been getting progres- new flavor. And now that nervous, hopeful, ecstatic moment sively wealthier. Meanwhile, the poor are becoming steadily is about to arrive. Be brave! poorer. I'm worried there is a metaphorically similar trend in your life. Am I right? If so, please do all you can to reverse it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The English verb "cicurate" Borrow energy from the rich and abundant parts of your life is defined as "to tame or domesticate" or "to make mild or so as to lift up the neglected and underendowed parts. Here's innocuous." But it once had an additional sense: "to reclaim one example of how you could proceed: For a while, be less from wildness." It was derived from the Latin word cicurare, concerned with people who think you're a star, and give more which meant "to bring back from madness, to draw out of the attention to those who accept and love your shadow side. wilderness." For your purposes, Scorpio, we will make cicurate your theme, but concentrate on these definitions: "to reclaim TAURUS (April 20-May 20): "I choose a lazy person to do from wildness, to bring back from madness, to draw out of a hard job," says Bill Gates, the world's second-richest man, the wilderness."

Tips from the Vet for Your Pet: Heartworm By Stewart Morgan, Ph.D., D.V.M. | Molokai Humane Society Heartworms are parasites that live in the arteries (blood vessels) going from the heart to the lungs. These worms can be between six inches to one foot long and can cause weakness, difficulty breathing, cough, heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, and even death. Heartworm is spread by mosquitos, including the Asian tiger mosquito, and dogs with heartworm have been found in all 50 states. In short, where there are mosquitos, there is heartworm! When a mosquito carrying heartworm larvae bites a dog or cat, the heartworm larvae enters the animal’s bloodstream and matures. It takes about five months for the heartworm larvae to become adults. The adult female heartworm produces more heartworm larvae that can be taken up by mosquitos and spread to another animal. The adult heartworm can live in the bloodstream for up to five years and heartworm larvae can live in the bloodstream for over two years before being taken up by a mosquito and spread to another animal. Heartworm prevention requires testing an animal to make sure it does not have heartworm as well as a medication given monthly. The heartworm test is a blood test that detects adult female worms. Because the heartworm test detects adult worms, it is not possible to detect heartworm in a dog that might have contracted the disease two, three, four or possibly even five months before. This is because those worms have not become adults yet. That is the reason we do not test young puppies for

heartworm. The test the Molokai Humane Society has to detect heartworm also tests for tick diseases that are common on Molokai. This is another good reason for getting dogs tested every year. The medications used to prevent heartworm are given monthly. These medications work by killing heartworm larvae before they can become adults. Another good thing about these medications is that they also are good at preventing intestinal worms including roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and, in some cases, tapeworms. Thus, there is no good reason for any dog or cat to not be on a heartworm preventative. In dogs, heartworm treatment is expensive and involves giving dogs three shots of a chemical containing arsenic to kill adult worms. Other medications are also given to kill heartworm larvae and bacteria that live inside heartworms. When the worms die off in the animal’s bloodstream, there is a possibility of complications, including death. In cats with heartworm, options are limited to monitoring the cat for signs of illness and supportive care, or surgery to remove worms from the vessels near the heart. The good news is that cats are naturally more resistant to heartworm than dogs, normally have fewer worms infecting them than dogs, and adult heartworms in the cat only live about two to three years. If your pet is not currently on heartworm preventative, we highly encourage you to get them tested and on a preventative!

LETTERS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

Domestic Violence Awareness Month Hale Hoomalu News Release Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October is observed nationally, and on Molokai, several events will be held to make a powerful statement celebrating the strength of battered women and their children. Domestic Violence Awareness Month evolved from the first Day of Unity observed in October, 1981 by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The intent was to connect battered women advocates across the nation who work to end violence against women and their children. The Day of Unity soon became a special week to later evolve in to a month when a range of activities were conducted at the local, state, and national levels. These activities were as varied and diverse as the program sponsors but had common themes: Mourning those who have died because of domestic violence, celebrating those who have survived, and connecting and honoring those who work to end

violence. In October 1987, the first Domestic Violence Awareness Month was observed. That same year the first national toll-free hotline began. In 1989, the first Domestic Violence Awareness Month Commemorative Legislation was passed by the U.S. Congress. Such legislation has passed every year since with National Coalition Against Domestic Violence providing key leadership in this effort. The Day of Unity is celebrated the first Monday in October, and on Molokai, the first Wednesday. Please join Molokai Community Services Council (MCSC)’s Hale Ho'omaluShelter for Battered Women and Their Children and Molokai Alternatives to Violence in our annual Domestic Violence Awareness scheduled events. On Oct. 1, a sign waving will be held on the Kaunakakai Library Lawn from 5:30 to 6 p.m., followed by the 15th annual Candle Light Vigil from 6 to 8 p.m. Other sign waving events will also be held throughout the month.

Moratorium on GMOs Survey The MOM Hui – Molokai News Release On Maui and Molokai, many concerns have arose as to whether the growing of Genetically Engineered (GE), also known as Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), seeds crops and the testing of pesticides are causing irreversible harm to the environment and human and animal life. Because of these concerns, citizens of Maui County have called for a moratorium (temporary suspension) of all GE operations and practices within the County, until an environmental and public health impact

study is conducted and finds the proposed cultivation practices to be safe and harmless. We would like to know what you, people of Molokai, think about this moratorium initiative. Do you support it or not and why? Please take a minute to fill out this survey by visiting surveymonkey.com/s/mauicountygmo to express your mana`o. Final results reflecting the percentages of yes (support) and no (oppose) will be submitted to The Molokai Dispatch at the end of October. However, ongoing updates will be posted on Facebook.

Grace Church Thrift Shop Grace Episcopal Church News Release Father James Loughren and the people of Grace Episcopal Church of Ho`olehua would like to announce a new outreach program to benefit the community. We have bargain prices on items such as men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, shoes and bags, luggage, books, toys, games, electronics, and household items.

In four days, the Hana Keaka classes will introduce students to acting storytelling and movement, voice exercises, and end the series with a final family performance. Children will be welcome to stay during the lunch hour to help with painting a backdrop for the final performance. Full attendance is highly recommended due to the final performance, ensuring all

kids get to play their parts and others are not overwhelmed with playing multiple parts due to absences. In addition to being a lot of fun, the theatre classes help to strengthen cultural practices in storytelling, helps to build confidence, overcome their fears, solve problems, boost their creativity, think faster on their feet, be better team players, and ultimately, gain a competitive edge. Held Monday through Thursday during fall intercession, students ages 5 to 8 can attend from 9 to 11 a.m., while 9 to 11-year-olds will participate from 12 to 2 p.m. Each session costs $12.50, to be paid in full for the four-day package of $50. To register, visit molokaiartscenter.org or email inquiries to molokaiartscenter@gmail.com.

Growing Service Monsanto and Mycogen Seeds grow the best hybrid corn seeds on our Friendly Island of Molokai. It is then bagged and shipped around the world for them to grown and feed our world population. Uncle Herman Coelho

Vote No It is not true, as some claim, that no GMO crops are grown on Maui. Actually, local Maui farmers grow GMO corn, squash and Rainbow Papaya and sell their products in Maui grocery stores and have for years. This false argument that ignores the variety of farming on Maui is another indication of the destructive nature of this expensive, complicated and poorly written 12-page initiative. The initiative claims to be a temporary moratorium but in reality it is an immediate and permanent farming ban. Large and small farms on Maui, Molokai and Lanai would be shut down—even small backyard gardens—and the regulatory hurdles in the initiative are contrived to make it im-

possible to reopen farms. In fact, it requires a “super majority” of a 2/3 vote on the County Council to reopen a closed farm. The ban includes fines for farmers of up to $50,000 and 600 jobs will be lost. Equally dangerous is the harm that will come to farmers who safely apply pesticides to protect their crops. The uncertainty of what will be allowed and what will be banned is causing increasing concern among Maui’s farmers who are worried about their ability to continue farming. Please vote NO on this harmful, deceptive and costly farming ban initiative. James “Kimo” Falconer President and owner, Maui Grown Coffee

Nation Building Cover-Up Hawaii's longtime political okoles like Rowena Akana of OHA, have heard the loud and resounding "no" from the residents of Molokai, as she reluctantly acknowledges in the Sept. 17 Molokai Dispatch. What our OHA trustee failed to mention is that the resounding "no" is echoed by the Native Hawaiian Community across this crooked state! Our historical relationship with the United States is indeed political, despite the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii, it is based on race, thus the Hawaiian Homes Act, 1920, followed by the Statehood Admissions Act 1959, and the concern for "the betterment of the condition of the native Hawaiians.” The "official declaration" native Hawaiians have been denied for more than 38

years from our "trustee" (Abbott & Costello) federal agencies, is the promised suit, for "breach of trust,” in behalf of the race based "native Hawaiians" due to the years of corruption of the Ceded Land Trust, and the creation of a phony state agency on the backs of our kupuna. But because of Rice v Cayetano, the scam is out of the bag and our longtime political okoles are scrambling to cover up the longtime scheme of undermining "native Hawaiians self-determination" with the distraction of a dog and pony show called "nation building.” Samuel L. Kealoha Jr. Ka`amola, Molokai

Choose Happy Opinion by Rick Baptiste Did you know that being happy is a choice? The other day I came across someone in a meeting that didn’t seem to be “happy” with me. On the other hand, this person didn’t seem to be “happy” with anyone else as well. I chose to speak encouragements to all those around me, and the whole environment changed in the room. Have you ever heard someone say, “I wonder which side of the bed he got up from this morning?” or “I think she is having a bad day,” etc. Before I get out of bed, I choose to think of things to be grateful for and then I say out loud, “This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it” from Psalms 118:24. “I will” means that I choose, and “rejoice” means to be joyful over and over again. It means that I choose “happy.” Have you ever heard of the “Triple D?” And I am not referring to “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives from Food Network. In 1Samuel 17 is a story of David (God’s appointed king) who escaped from King Saul who was jealous of him to the cave of Adullam. In 1 Sam 22:2 King James Version (KJV), “And every one that was in distress, and every one

that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about 400 men.” Bam, there it is: the “Triple D” -400 men that were in “distress, debt, and discontent” -- followed King David into the cave. Later, the scriptures refer to David’s “mighty men.” Imagine, you being that one of 400 who is not complaining or gossiping but instead blessing and encouraging. In Romans 5:3-4 KJV, “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope”. I want you to underline the word “patience” in your heart because this is what develops “hope.” We want every person in our community to have hope. Good things will eventually come to you if you are patient, see Galatians 6:9. I encourage you to see patience as the pathway of becoming a person of hope and becoming “Triple D,” dependable, dedicated, and devoted. Be patient, be hopeful and choose “happy.” Don’t stress, jus bless.
