Molokai Crewmembers Join Hokule`a Voyage

2014

By Molokai Dispatch Staff

hree Molokai residents have departed on a journey to follow the path of their ancestors across oceans and change the way the world views our environment. Last week, Mel Paoa, Mahina Hou Ross and Keoki Pescaia left for American Samoa to join Hawaiian double-hulled voyaging canoes Hokule`a and Hikianalia as they set sail for the northwestern tip of Aotearoa (New Zealand).

“The Molokai community fully supports these crewmembers as Hokule`a represents all of us, coming together to protect the places, values, and traditions that we love,” said Paoa, Molokai’s first voyaging captain for Hokule`a.

This week, they are sailing to Vava`u in Tonga, about 320 miles from Pago Pago Harbor in American Samoa, where they waited for favorable weather to depart on the first portion of the trip to Aotearoa.

Along with crewmembers joining the voyage for this leg from Kauai, Maui, Oahu and Hawaii Island, Paoa, Ross and Pescaia will be part of the journey that returns Hokule`a to Aotearoa for the first time since 1985. Sister canoe Hikilanalia was built in Aotearoa in 2012, and both vessels are scheduled to arrive there in November after a 1,500-mile leg of the Malama Honua Worldwide Voyage.

As its name tells, the voyage carries a message of caring for the earth

ith hundreds of paddlers and supporters in town for the Molokai Hoe, the Friendly Isle showcased Hawaii’s past and present through its three-day long Festivals of Aloha. The festivities also echoed the Hawaiian tradition of Kulaia -- gathering together in celebration before the annual canoe races to Oahu. “[We] focus on what our ancestors used to do before,” said emcee Lyndon Dela Cruz, who remembers similar celebrations from his childhood. “…It’s good that they’re bringing it back. We missed it.”

Thursday night kicked off with the crowning of the Royal Court. Molokai residents Clayton and Annette English were selected as this year’s mo`i kane and mo`i wahine.

“We feel it’s time to give back to the community,” said Mo`i Wahine Annette English, who, along with her husband Clayton will be involved with various volunteer projects throughout the year as part of their royal duties.

The packed weekend included cooking contests, musical performances, talent competitions, bed races and Saturday’s parade, a colorful highlight of the weekend. Horseback pa`u units represented each island with leidecked beauty, local farmers marched in force supporting agriculture on the island, organizations like the Molokai Filipino community and 4-H Clover Lopers made an appearance, and politicians walked to garner support before the upcoming election.

Veterans Center Nears Completion

By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

A

fter nearly 10 years of permitting delays, funding shortages and the loss of more elderly members each year, the Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans (MVCV) say they are finally nearing completion of a long-awaited veterans center to call their own.

“This building has come a long way,” said Vice-Commander Longie Dudoit.

“Where we are today, we’re pretty close.

But now it takes more than talk… We’ve all got to pitch in and help.”

Dudoit said he plans for the building to be complete by the end of this year. The 3,000-square-foot facility includes a certified kitchen, meeting area, space for VA services and a planned museum.

Veteran Mac Poepoe said at this point, the building “is pretty much operational,” with the water – the source of so many past permitting delays – already turned on.

Dudoit said the gas is also hooked up, and last week, workers were connecting the kitchen appliances. In three to four weeks, the kitchen would be complete, including a fire safety inspection, he said.

“All the vets come before me know we never had nothing over here for our vets,” said Poepoe at a MVCV membership meeting last week. “We suffered… Now I hope the young guys come out – we’re getting old.”

Dudoit said he wasn’t active in the Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans until former Commander Larry Helm was nearing his death. Now, he’s trying to carry on Helm’s dream.

“When I started, my job was to complete this building,” he said, “and that’s what I’m going to do.”

Pitching in to Help Fellow veteran Dan Iaea is also following through on a promise. Before member Jesse Dudoit passed away last year, Iaea took on landscaping of the property surrounding the new building.

“He wanted me to finish it,” said Iaea.

Since then, he said he and his wife have put 169 volunteer hours into landscaping, and it has come a long way.

“I’d sure like to have some help,” he admitted. Fellow volunteers could help clear kiawe trees and prepare a space behind the building for a container, a canopy, outdoor sink and a small veterans garden with luau leaf, leaf onion and a few other plants, said Iaea.

At last Wednesday’s meeting, MVCV members were asked to sign up for a variety of committees to support duties like fundraising, completion and maintenance of the new building, and organization of veteran activities and events.

Veteran Ted Johns said a fundraiser selling engraved stone pavers raised $25,500 for Molokai veterans. The project is now called the tile memorial wall, however, as the decision was made to display them on a wall of the building, rather than on the ground, he said. The tiles can be purchased in honor of individual veterans or

MOLOKAI HOE Continued From pg. 1 utes and three seconds. Among the local teams, Molokai finished ninth.

Taking first place overall was Tahitian crew Edt Va`a 1, which finished in four hours, 51 minutes and 43 seconds.

Edt Va`a 1 edged fellow Tahitian team and second-place winner Shell Va`a (4:51:59) by a mere 16 seconds, breaking Shell Va`a’s eight-race winning streak. When asked about his team’s strategies for the race, Shell Va`a paddler Denis Sommers of Tahiti simply answered, “Go fast.” The Tahitian crews apparently took Sommers’ words to heart, as the tiny South Pacific island secured the top four spots in the race.

Molokai, meanwhile, celebrated yet another accomplishment: besting the 16th place and six-hour, two-minute time of their 2012 Molokai Hoe appearance.

“You don't come across too many teams who don't care if it's flat or windy [conditions], but we're confident in how we trained,” said Dudoit. “We've been practicing five or six days a week for the last three months. Short practices to keep peace with the family—but paddling nonstop.”

Molokai’s “nonstop” paddlers included John Russell Phifer, Kawai Spencer, Kamoana Spencer, Chad Lima, Titus Castor, Troy Heen, alternate Brandon Kansana and first-time Molokai Hoe paddlers Lohiao Paoa and Kamakou Mariano. Dudoit said he instructed the new paddlers to gauge their progress by their watches and not by the sight of Oahu in the distance, as the island can seem deceptively close while out in the channel.

those who have contributed to completing the center.

A grant from United Way, submitted

by Johns, brought $1,500 for tables and chairs, said Dudoit. At the meeting, veterans and supporters sat on chairs loaned to the organization.

“Instead of borrowing chairs like these today, we’ll have our own,” said Dudoit.

Veterans thanked and honored Dr. David Hafermann, who is retiring as VA Molokai physician.

“My hat’s off to this man – he has done a terrific job,” said Dudoit of Hafermann.

Receiving Benefits A recent meeting with the Hawaii VA health director started the discussion of how medical services on-island will be handled after Hafermann retires. Hafermann proposed that a doctor from Honolulu could come over once a week for the entire day to offer services, but also suggested looking into the option of getting a doctor on-island for the long term.

A rehab counselor from Maui comes to Molokai twice a month, while a federal VA benefits counselor is supposed to come every two months but visits have been suspended due to a “budget hold up,” Dudoit said he was told.

A VA mobile services van will also be visiting Molokai on Dec. 6 as part of a statewide traveling benefits services program.

They will be set up at Kaunakakai Ball Park, with details to follow.

Many veterans and their families think they receive more benefits than they actually qualify for at death, said Moku Buchanan of Molokai Mortuary, guest speaker at last week’s meeting. A veteran himself, Buchanan explained to fellow vets what funeral services are included by providing a DD 214 form.

Veterans are entitled to a flag and burial plot or niche in the columbarium at the Ho`olehua Veterans Cemetery. The county also gives a free bronze plaque or headstone, said Buchanan. Your spouse can be buried with you, but does not qualify for those benefits. Honor guards will also be sent over for the funeral at the request of the family. Buchanan said that is the extent of the free services for veteran burial; everything else must be paid for.

Buchanan also warned about the false promises of some life insurance companies.

“A lot of people will take your money but can’t service you on Molokai,” he said.

“It’s like pulling teeth to get money from them... To be honest, it’s a rip-off.”

Buchanan said Purple Shield is the only life insurance company he recommends on Molokai.

Dudoit said veterans with questions about benefits or services can contact MVCV board members for information.

In the future, Dudoit said board members will hold monthly meetings, to which concerned veterans are welcome to sit in on, but general membership meetings will be held annually, or more frequently at the discretion of the board.

Gathered around their canoe among hundreds of paddlers at dawn, Paoa said the best advice he got was not to get too excited.

“Stay calm, don’t get stuck up on the hype,” he said.

This year, the hype attracted 102 teams from locations as far as Hong Kong, Japan, Canada, France, Australia and Aotearoa, as well as Hawaii and both coasts of the continental U.S. Some paddlers even crossed their country’s borders to put together a crew. Tri-Nations Team (6:57:37; 84th place) was made up of paddlers from Australia, Canada and the U.S. Johnny Stewart, Tri-Nations’ steersman and six-year Molokai Hoe competitor, explained that the paddlers practiced in their home countries and met up for one day of training on Oahu before coming to Molokai for the race. Aside from cultural diversity, this year’s Molokai Hoe also featured a wide range of ages: five teams in the junior division (paddlers 16-18 years of age) and two crews in the Masters 65+ age group.

“Twenty paddlers here are over 70, and they’re going to beat someone today,” joked race director Stan Dickson during the early morning blessing at Molokai’s Hale O Lono Harbor.

The Molokai Hoe began in 1952 when three ambitious outriggers journeyed from Molokai to Oahu in eight hours and 55 minutes. Shell Va`a now holds the overall record time with a finish nearly half that of the 1952 canoes: four hours, 30 minutes and 54 seconds in 2011.

Friday

vercoming turnover issues and a late injury to their starting quarterback, the Molokai Farmers managed a 42-21 win over the Hana Dragons on Saturday, Oct. 11, in Molokai’s final regular season game at home. With the win, the Farmers guaranteed themselves second place in the league and a spot in the Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) semifinals.

“We started off slow,” said head coach Mike Kahale. “…Definitely a bunch of miscues, a bunch of fumbles, but the kids put it together when they needed to.”

After a scoreless first quarter, the Farmers’ offense broke open. Receivers Kaimana Kahale and Willie Dela Cruz both hauled in touchdown passes from quarterback John Michael Mokiao-Duvauchelle.

Seniors Sheyden Kaholoa`a and King Kahana-Kalua gave the Farmers’ ground game a bittersweet boost, rushing for a touchdown apiece on Molokai’s Senior Day. Kahana-Kalua, who normally plays safety, stepped in for Mokiao-Duvauchelle after the quarterback injured his elbow in the fourth quarter. As of Sunday, his status for the next game remains uncertain.

Mike Kahale said the team was unable to view video footage of Hana in the week leading up to the game, so defensive coordinator Tanuli Ah Van went with the team’s base defense to battle the Dragons’ high-scoring offense, which ranks second in the league with a robust average of 40 points a game. The Farmers’ defense held Hana to half that average on Saturday and have now allowed a league-low 70 total points over four games, according to Maui News.

With the loss, Hana dropped to 2-2 and third place, while Molokai improved to 3-1 and held on to its second place seed, right behind undefeated Seabury Hall.

The Farmers’ final regular season game is scheduled for Oct. 18 on the road against winless Kihei Charter.

Both Seabury and Molokai, who have faced each other in the past two MIL championship games, have earned a bye week and will not have to play during the first round of the MIL playoffs. After the bye week, Molokai may host a winner from the first round in a semifinal game on Oct. 30.

“We just gotta tighten up our game plan from the offensive side and make sure we’re executing,” said Mike Kahale. “It’ll be nice to have the extra week off so some of our guys can heal.”

Along with Kahana-Kalua and Kaholoa`a, five other players will also bid farewell to the green Farmers uniform: seniors Kayson Castor-Wallace, Mana Puaoi, Kahanu Alcon, Tani Faleali`i and Iokepa Albino, as well as team manager Olelo Hamakua Poepoe.

(J. Alueta)

HOKULE`A Continued From pg. 1 and a mission of growing a global movement toward sustainability. Crewmembers hope to share traditional Hawaiian ideas of resource management and bring back other cultures’ knowledge of honoring the environment.

Education and sharing the voyage with Hawaii students back home is also an important element of the voyage.

“All my life growing up on Molokai, we learned those concepts to aloha `aina and malama honua,” said Ross, now a Hawaiian immersion language teacher at Molokai High School. “I want to get all of the Molokai schools to somehow integrate the voyage into their curriculum… Pushing the educational aspect of the voyage… [and] doing things for our future generations… is important.”

Ross is currently on sabbatical from teaching to be a crewmember and assist with educational outreach. Before his departure, he worked with principals and teachers to involve local schools in the voyage. Classrooms across the state can visit Hokulea.com to get follow their journey and incorporate it into the curriculum.

For Paoa, being a part of the voyage is also part of a personal journey.

Paoa did his first open-ocean sail on Hokule`a in 1985 at the age of 32.

“In the 1980s, when I was doing the physical for the Voyage of Rediscovery, the canoe physician told me I couldn’t go, that my diabetes was going to affect the voyage,” recalled Paoa. “I told him, ‘thank you,’ then I called Dr. Emmett Aluli. I said I wanted to sail on the Hokule`a and he signed my paperwork.

Emmett was my hero.”

Despite concerns that he would not be able to complete the voyage without his diabetes getting out of control, Poa learned to manage it, and went on to successfully complete that first sail.

After overcoming his own health challenges, Paoa has dedicated his life to inspiring young people to never give up on their dreams and to constantly challenge themselves.

He said voyaging in the Pacific and Aotearoa is also a journey of discovering his own family roots.

“My cousin did our genealogy and I’m the 86th generation of Paoas from Aotearoa,” he said. “When I went to Rapanui [on a past voyage], there were Paoas everywhere. I thought, ‘Oh, this is what it feels like to be a Dudoit on Molokai!’”

Together, the three Molokai crewmembers represent the hard work that makes a successful voyage.

“These two guys Keoki and Mahina Hou, they’ve put in a lot of preparation – they live it, they’ve been through it, they know it,” said Paoa.

The Worldwide Voyage, sponsored

by Hawaiian Airlines, will cover 47,000 nautical miles, 85 ports, 26 nations, including 12 of UNESCO’s Marine World Heritage sites, through June 2017.

“You can support this voyage with your prayers,” said Miki`ala Pescaia, wife of Keoki. “Please pray for these men, and all the men and women of our Polynesian Voyaging Society, that they will return home.”

No matter where he goes, Paoa said he has eyes toward Molokai.

“Everywhere I sail, I always look to see what direction Molokai is so I know where home is,” said Paoa. “I always look.”

COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 14-81 REGARDING FAMILY CHILD CARE HOMES WITHIN THE COUNTY AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT MR.

Volunteers Take to Farms

By Bianca Moragne | Staff Writer

M

ike Senese had recently graduated from high school in Massachusetts when he caught the farming bug.

With a background mostly in gardening, Senese said he resolved to take a gap year before starting college and began research into different farming programs.

The 19-year-old’s search landed him a job as an educational farm volunteer on Molokai’s Pu`u O Hoku Ranch through the state’s World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, or popularly known as WWOOF, network.

“I’ve learned so much from being here already, I’m really amazed at how much hard work and labor goes into it all,” Senese said. He’s been working on Molokai for a month and plans to transfer to Maui or Hawaii Island in November.

Hawaii is the only state that has its own WWOOF organization, which started in 1995, and now boasts 300 host farms and about 2000 volunteers signing up each year, according to WWOOF Hawaii Administrator Jonathan Ziegler. Molokai currently has 14 active WWOOF Hawaii hosts, he said, or local farms that utilize volunteer labor.

The educational, organic farming and cultural exchange program allows participants to gain agriculture experience, while meeting and forming relationships with people from around the world, Ziegler said.

In return for their help, volunteers are offered food, accommodation and experience.

Local farmers receive hands-on labor, teach organic growing techniques and promote the organic movement, he said.

“The level of farmers who participate is a wide range,” Ziegler said. “Some people have many years of experiences and tons of knowledge to teach; while others don’t have any. Regardless, they all want to get involved and learn together.”

For Alison Woitunski, one of the farm

managers at Pu'u O Hoku Ranch since February, WWOOF typically attracts participants who are looking for a relaxed experience and way to travel, she said. The ranch produces awa, exotic and familiar fruits and vegetable and free-range beef. Volunteers make compost, care for animals, performing weeding, maintain the nursery and aid in record keeping.

“People have romanticized dreams of what farming is like,” Woitunski said. “For us, because we have limited labor we really need to get the most out of people that come here, so we tend to utilize a personal network to find qualified farmers.”

The International Agriculture Exchange Program has resulted in a more positive experience for Woitunski, who in the past was disappointed by the lack of experience from WWOOFers, she said. Woitunski selected Senese, her cousin, as a WWOOFer due to their family relationship. The selection process typically involves a phone interview and correspondence over email, Woitunski said.

“It’s a great way to get a pull of candidates but you really need to be able to figure out if that person is good for you,” Woitunski said. “It can be hard to find a good match because many of the people that are contacting you are coming from different places and have probably never farmed before.”

In addition to farm volunteering, Woitunski said the ranch also offers a farm apprenticeship program for people who are interested in a longer stay and more responsibilities, and ideally on a track to become a professional farmer.

Koko Mokoyane, the Pu`u O Hoku Ranch farm apprentice, brought her agricultural background from South Africa to Molokai in February. Mokoyane found the volunteer program through Cultural Homestay International, a nonprofit that provides cultural exchange opportunities in the U.S. and abroad. She began the program as a vol-

Molokai Ranch Showcases Beef Molokai Ranch News Release Molokai Ranch introduced their new brand, Molokai Ranch Beef, a premium 100 percent grass-fed Angus beef, by hosting a private event for leaders of the Hawaii food community on Oct. 7. Held at the award-winning 12th Ave Grill on Oahu, guests enjoyed special appetizers, craft cocktails, and a four-course menu of composed dishes with wine pairings sponsored by Southern Wine & Spirits.

Acclaimed chefs that prepared the innovative menu included 12th Ave Grill's Chef/Owner Kevin Hanney, Jason Schoonover, Ryan Durham, mixologist Mike Hall, and Koko Head Café's Executive Chef Lee Anne Wong.

Molokai Ranch Beef was praised

by Hawaii's food industry experts, with favorite "Top Chef" contestant Wong mentioning she is "excited for local grass-fed beef." Among the chefs in attendance were Eberhard Hardy Kintscher of Michel's, Nolan West of `Ama `Ama in Aulani Resort, and Mike Suh of Morimoto Waikiki.

"I had to make sure Molokai Ranch Beef was good enough for my own family,” Molokai Ranch Operations Manager Dathan Bicoy, assured guests. “And I am proud to share it with everyone tonight."

Chef George Mavrothalassitis of the renowned Chef Mavro said, "I was

very impressed with the quality of the beef. I think Molokai Ranch is heading in the right direction."

"The texture and taste was not gamey or tough. The flavor was great," noted Kai Market's Executive Chef Darren Demaya. The restaurant in Starwood Hotels & Resorts' Sheraton Waikiki is the first farm-to-table buffet in Hawaii.

Supporters of the ranch-to-table movement gathered for a first taste of Molokai Ranch Beef, the newest premium beef on the market. Molokai Ranch is seeking partnerships with local chefs and restaurants that share the same values of sustainability.

"We are proud of Molokai's heritage," said Clay Rumbaoa, chief executive officer of Molokai Ranch, "and with community support of our vision, we are successfully revitalizing ranching operations and building the island's sustainable future."

Molokai Ranch is aggressively working toward sustainability, being proactive in pursuing their established pillars of Animal Husbandry, Authentic Hospitality, Renewable Energy, and Sustainable Farming. If you are interested in purchasing Molokai Ranch Beef and learning more about the brand launch please visit molokairanchbeef.com or facebook.com/ molokairanch.com.

unteer and in August became an apprentice.

Mokoyane will work at the east end farm until January 2015, she said.

“It’s been great so far,” Mokoyane said.

“Everyone here on Molokai is welcoming and I love what I do everyday.”

From making soil to harvesting fruits and vegetable and performing farm chores, Senese and Mokoyane work up to 40 hours a week from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday though Friday. On Saturdays, the crew sells produce at the Kaunakakai Farmer’s Market. Room and board is provided, and volunteers have access to produce, eggs and basic necessities. A $25 stipend for the ranch store is also provided, Woitunski said.

“One of the biggest takeaways that our young people experiences is thinking about the environment differently because they are seeing their inputs and outputs,” Woitunski said. “Also, knowing where their food comes from and growing it from seed all the way to eating it as your main source is huge.”

Kuulei Mahiai Farm is located on fiveacres of homestead land in Ho`olehua. For the past 15 years, Weldon and Viola Wichman, along with a team of chickens, ducks, geese, cats, dogs and horses, have worked their land cultivating produce like, papayas, lemons, bananas and ruby grapefruits. It wasn’t until 2012 that the Wichmans hosted WWOOFers.

“I embrace the fact that this is a teaching and learning opportunity and exchange, said farmer and 4-H Clover Lopers leader, Viola Wichman.

Wichman had three WWOOFers from France on her property this summer. Now, she’s decided to take a break from hosting volunteers, but said the program is beneficial because it brings manual labor to the farm.

The Wichmans have hosted volunteers from Australia, France and Japan, providing accommodations and meals in exchange for

25 hours of planting, maintaining, animal feeding and harvesting for at least two weeks.

Although Wichman said she has worked with agriculturally inexperienced WWOOFers, she said if they are eager, willing to learn and have an aptitude for understanding the operation, they are welcome.

“I know in my heart the volunteers are here for Hawaii,” Wichman said. “If they like what they’re doing, understand what we’re trying to accomplish and how farming revolves around everything that we do then, that’s great.”

Another Ho`olehua farmer, Joe Kennedy, said he’s had an overall positive experience with WWOOF volunteers, but conflicts between his agricultural practices and the ideas of volunteers have arisen.

In Kennedy’s experience, some WWOOFers did not follow his instructions, or had little interest in learning about his own farming practices, he said. However, the opportunity to learn from others and build relationships is why Kennedy uses the network, he said.

“If it wasn’t for WWOOF I wouldn’t have organic crops,” Kennedy said. “I’ve had WWOOFers from Germany, Guatemala, all over the world and the benefit is being able to learn about different cultures and meet all kinds of people.”

Farm volunteering is a learning experience for both the participant and the host, Ziegler said. WWOOF Hawaii is focusing on ways to create a farming community and support system between all the islands, for farmers and hosts alike to share ideas, help one another, and support the next generation in pursing the practice, he said.

“It’s really good to see young people getting involved and inspired with farming,” Ziegler said. “We want to get young people to stay and live in Hawaii, grow the movement and make a career in agriculture accessible.”

Beginning Farmers Program UH CTAHR Extension Service News Release A new, island-wide Beginning Farmer Program will begin this month. Twicemonthly classes will be held in Ho`olehua at the UH Extension Office and at UH Maui College-Molokai Farm focused on commercial crop production. A beginning farmer is defined as one who has farmed less than 10 years.

The aging of farmers is a matter of national security. In 2010, the average age of the workforce nationwide was 37, while the average age of farmers was about 58.

There’s has been a 30 percent increase in farmers over the age of 75 and a 20 percent

decrease in the number of farmers under the age of 25.

If you’re interested in participating in this educational training program, please request an application by calling 567-6929, emailing shirleyh@hawaii.edu or by picking up an application from the UH Extension Office. We’re located next to the Ho`olehua Post Office. Applications include a questionnaire to help plan dates and times for workshops.

This program is sponsored by the UH College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources CTAHR), Cooperative Extension Service through a grant from the County of Maui Office of Economic Development.

Dirt Road Gardens

By Joe Kennedy I’d like to tell you a little story that may be of interest. About nine months ago, I tried to take a shortcut and make a vegetable garden. I used a dirt road at the edge of my farm because there was just bare dirt there, no grass or trees. I stretched a couple of irrigation tapes the length of the area I wanted (70 or 80 feet and 10 feet wide), turned it on, and let the water drip for a day and a night. Then made two ditches only three inches deep and three inches wide with a pick right at the edge of the drip tape the whole

length. The ground was hard Ho`olehua clay dirt, compacted with over 30 years of our traffic.

The sun hemp grew almost 11 feet in seven months. Kale grew fast also. So there you go. Vegetables can grow really well in a compacted dirt road without any trouble.

Could dirt roads all over Molokai be managed with using the right vegetation with hardly any money? You know the answer. This would stop the ongoing erosion that’s continuing to kill marine life.

“I was excited because there’s finally a store [like this] to buy clothes from on Molokai,” said Molokai Middle School student Kaitlin DeRouin, who has shopped at Jeans Warehouse on Maui.

Sharlah Gloor, one of 12 new employees at the store, agreed that the location offers residents more shopping convenience.

“I’m sure there’re a lot of girls over here that [like] to be fashionable,” Gloor said, “but it’s hard when you have to either fly off island or you have to shop online and wait for a month.”

The company noticed that numerous Molokai customers shopped at the store’s outer island locations, but multiple plans to expand to Molokai fell through for over a year. Finally, a friend put company personnel in touch with brothers David and Jon Mikami, owners of the former Molokai General Store.

Since the building is zoned specifically for retail, the Mikami family had been searching for stores to fit the bill, and finally settled on Jeans Warehouse.

“I know that Dad and Uncle Jon wouldn’t have just taken anyone as a tenant,” said Kimberly Svetin, president of Molokai Drugs and daughter of David Mikami. “It was critical that it was a local company.”

While not the first retail chain store to arrive on Molokai, Jeans Warehouse is one of very few retail chain stores on the island, joining such businesses as Napa Auto Parts.

Jeans Warehouse, which was started in 1986 by Linda Holt, now has 29 locations throughout Oahu, Maui, Kauai, the Big Island and Guam. The company

is 100 percent employee owned; Cindy Mikami, who has no relation to the Mikami brothers, explained that Holt installed a plan that allows employees to hold stock in Jeans Warehouse after they work for the company for a couple of years. All of the employees at the Ala Malama store -- from Molokai-born Gloor to store manager Melissa Ocampo -- are Molokai residents, which Svetin said is “huge” for a town as small as Kaunakakai.

“Our corporate headquarters is in Hawaii…. We’re a kama`aina company,” said Cindy Mikami, who has been working for Jeans Warehouse for 31 years. “I think it’s a win-win for the Molokai people as well as Jeans Warehouse.”

Jeans Warehouse offers clothing, shoes and accessories for juniors, men, women and keiki. The store recently added a boys’ toddler section and a casual menswear section with shirts and shorts. Jeans Warehouse is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): New York City's Diamond District is home to over 2,000 businesses that buy and sell jewelry. Throughout the years, many people have lost bits of treasure here. Valuable bits of gold and gems have fallen off broken necklaces, earrings, watches, and other accessories.

Now an enterprising man named Raffi Stepnanian is cashing in. Using tweezers and a butter knife, he mines for the rich pickings that are packed in the mud of sidewalk cracks and gutters. "The percentage of gold out here on the street is greater than the amount of gold you would find in a mine," he says. I'd love to see you get inspired by his efforts, Aries.

Dig for treasure in unlikely places where no one else would deign to look.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 1987, a college freshman named Mike Hayes was having trouble paying for his education at the University of Illinois. He appealed for help to the famous newspaper columnist Bob Greene, who asked each of his many readers to send Hayes a penny. The response was tidal. Although most of the ensuing donations were small, they added up to over $28,000 -- enough for Hayes to finance his degree. I encourage you to take a comparable approach in the coming weeks, Taurus: Ask for a little from a lot of different sources.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The word "abracadabra" is a spell that stage magicians utter at the climax of their tricks: the catalyst that supposedly makes a rabbit materialize from a hat or an assistant disappear in a puff of smoke. There's no real sorcery. It's an illusion perpetrated by the magician's hocus-pocus. But "abracadabra" has a less well-known history as an incantation used by real magicians to generate authentic wizardry. It can be traced back to Gnostic magi of the second century. They and their successors believed that merely speaking the word aloud evokes a potency not otherwise available. I invite you to experiment with this possibility, Gemini. Say "abracadabra" to boost your confidence and enhance your derring-do. You already have more power than usual to change things that have been resistant to change, and intoning some playfully ferocious "abracadabras" may put your efforts over the top.

won't serve your long-term interests to be cold and unhelpful. So what's the best strategy? First, empathize with their pain, but don't make it your own. Second, tell the blunt truth in the kindest tone possible. Third, offer a circumscribed type of support that won't compromise your freedom or integrity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 1936, Libran author F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote about the "crack-up" he had experienced years earlier. It included this tough realization: "I had been only a mediocre caretaker of most of the things left in my hands, even my talent." Let's use this as a seed for your oracle.

Have you been a good caretaker of your talent? Have you been a good caretaker for other things you are responsible for? Look within yourself and take inventory. If there's anything lacking, now is an excellent time to raise your game. If you're doing pretty well, reward yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): On a late summer day in 1666, scientist Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree in his mother's garden in Lincolnshire, England. An apple fell off a branch and plummeted to the ground. A half-century later, he told his biographer that this incident inspired him to formulate the theory of gravity. Fast forward to the year 2010.

Astronaut Piers Sellers got on the space shuttle Atlantis carrying a piece of Newton's apple tree. He took it with him as he escaped Earth's gravity on his trip to the International Space Station. By my reading of the astrological omens, now would be an excellent time for you undertake a comparable gesture or ritual, Scorpio. With a flourish, update your relationship with an important point of origin.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Most birds don't sing unless they are up high: either flying or perched somewhere off the ground. One species that isn't subject to this limitation is the turnstone, a brightly mottled shorebird. As it strolls around beaches in search of food, it croons a tune that the Cornell Lab of Ornithology calls "a short, rattling chuckle." In the coming weeks, this creature deserves to be your mascot -- or your power animal, as they say in New Age circles. Why? I doubt that you will be soaring. You won't be gazing down at the human comedy from a detached location high above the fray. But I expect you will be well-grounded and goodhumored -- holding your own with poise amidst the roughand-tumble. As you ramble, sing freely!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let's discuss that thing you are eyeing and coveting and fantasizing about. My operative theory is that you can enjoy it without actually having it for your own. In fact, I think it will be best if you do enjoy it without possessing it. There's an odd magic at play here.

If this desired thing becomes a fixed part of your life, it may interfere with you attracting two future experiences that I regard as more essential to your development. My advice is to avoid getting attached to the pretty good X-factor so as to encourage the arrival and full bloom of two stellar X-factors.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The 17th-century writer Rene Descartes is regarded as the father of modern philosophy and the founder of rationalism. His famous catchphrase is a centerpiece of the Western intellectual tradition: "I think, therefore I am." Here's what I find amusing and alarming about the man: He read almost nothing besides the Bible and the work of Catholic theologian Thomas Aquinas. He said that classic literature was a waste of time. Is that who we want at the heart of our approach to understanding reality? I say no.

In accordance with the astrological omens, I authorize you to AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): "Problems that remain perinstead adopt one or both of the following formulas: "I feel, sistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way," said philosopher Alan Watts. You therefore I am" or "I dream, therefore I am." have either recently made a personal discovery proving that LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can't give what you don't have. this is true, or else you will soon do so. The brain-scrambling, Here's a corollary: You can sort of half-give what you half- heart-whirling events of recent weeks have blessed you with have, but that may lead to messy complications and turn out a host of shiny new questions. They are vibrant replacements to be worse than giving nothing at all. So here's what I rec- for the tired old questions that have kept at least one of your ommend: Devote yourself to acquiring a full supply of what oldest dilemmas locked in place. you want to give. Be motivated by the frustration you feel at not being able to give it yet. Call on your stymied generosity PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): "There is for everyone some to be the driving force that inspires you to get the missing one scene, some one adventure, some one picture that is the image of his secret life," said Irish poet William Butler Yeats. magic. When you've finally got it, give it.

I invite you to identify that numinous presence, Pisces. And VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I suspect that one of your allies then I urge you to celebrate and cultivate it. Give special ator loved ones will get caught in his or her own trap. The way tention to it and pay tribute to it and shower love on it.

LETTERS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

GMO and Weeds A recent article in the Honolulu StarAdvertiser, “More Weeds Grow Resistant to Herbicides,” by Fred Pollock, on Sept.

21, outlines current events in the chemical industry. “…There is compelling evidence that herbicide tolerant GMOs may be unsafe for contact with animals and are damaging to the environment,” the article states.

A recent press release from Dow AgroSciences stated, “An astonishing 86 percent of corn, soybeans and cotton growers in the South have herbicide resistant or hard-tocontrol weeds on their farms.”

This admission by Dow demonstrates that its biggest money-making GMO product has failed, and it wants the USDA and EPA to approve its replacement as soon as possible.

The Organic Consumers Association newsletter, dated Sept. 26, 2014, has this additional news: “The USDA has an answer for superweeds, and it’s called super poisons. Ignoring the public outcry and pleas by saner members of Congress, the USDA last week approved Dow’s new corn and soy crops, genetically engineered to withstand not one, but two poisons: super-toxic, superpoison comprised of glyphosate, the key

ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, and Dow’s 2-4,D, made with an ingredient that was used in the Vietnam-era Agent Orange herbicide. Now that the USDA and the EPA have both signed off on the crops, there’s only one thing standing between you and the unleashing of 200 to 600 percent more 2-4,D into the environment: approval by the EPA of the herbicide itself, Dow’s Enlist Duo.” As a society, we face an uncertain peril. Agent Orange has been linked to malformed fetuses born to Vietnam mothers exposed to it. Have we created a situation where present day American mothers will suffer from having babies born with severe birth defects because of exposure to 2-4,D? This herbicide has been banned in Australia because of its tendency to drift onto adjacent farm fields while our government is proposing an increased use of 2-4,D. We need some answers.

Vote YES on the GMO moratorium on Nov. 4 so a study can be completed to evaluate the risks and benefits of GMO products and related insecticides and herbicides!

John Wordin

Rest assured, new products aren't approved without exhaustive safety testing -- a fact conveniently ignored by the activists. Truth is, we have been consuming GM products for 20 years -- now Nobel Prize-winning GM discoveries surround us, they're in everything from tomato soup to cooking oil. In undeveloped countries, 600,000 keiki died yearly from malnutrition. That was before vitamin A-rich Golden Rice, a GMO miracle, greatly reduced that figure. Ninety percent of U.S. tobacco is GM, ditto the corn used to make ethanol fuel and animal feed, plus you're probably wearing Bt cotton, cultivated worldwide.

True, cancer deaths here were linked to past farm spraying, but we can't imagine poisons in our food are irresponsibly put there by corporations, that's lolo! But that's just what environmental extremists want you believing. Molokai, if agriculture is our lifeblood, we must stand together against the Maui County farming ban -- 600 jobs will be over, food will cost more and our island's economy will suffer, guaranteed.

Molokai Fitness: Macronutrients

By Ayda Ersoy Do you know what macronutrients are?

They are the nutrients that provide your body with calories, or energy.

That’s protein, carbohydrates (carbs) and fat.

Don’t worry, I’m not going to go into too much detail about that. But I would like to show you how your body works, so we can learn how to treat it better. Did you know that it’s so important to get the right amount and the right balance of the macronutrients in your daily food? Getting it right will actually help you lose weight 50 percent faster.

Everything you eat contains calories: one gram of protein contains four calories, one gram of carbohydrates is also four calories, but one gram of fat has nine calories. Let’s look more at the different macronutrients.

Carbohydrates are our main source of energy. We need energy for the central nervous system, kidneys, brain and muscle functions. Carbohydrates can be stored in the muscles and liver and used when needed for energy. Some examples of carbohydrates are starchy foods like grains, sweet potatoes, rice, taro, fruits and yoghurt.

Fiber is also a carbohydrate. When you eat high-fiber food, you will get less hungry and it also helps lower your cholesterol. If you’re dieting, then fiber makes you feel full faster, helping you

My wife and I are visiting from Alaska and couldn't help but notice the proliferation of “Vote No” signs on the Maui GMO moratorium. They've been springing up like weeds at the intersections on island last week. When I asked a local woman at the Farmer's Market this past Saturday about them, she said, "How do you fight big money like that?" With less than 30 days until your next election, I've got to say with education, communication, and most importantly, your vote.

First and foremost, visit the site shakamovement.org/law and read the entirety of the law to fully understand its contents (it is well written and in layman's terms so you won't need your lawyer present). The law has been written to protect the finite resources on your islands: soil, air, and water.

If your neighbor is spraying poisons into these resources, it will inevitably negatively affect you and your children. This law has been written to start that dialogue to deter-

mine the effects of what your big agro-business neighbors have been using on their products and ultimately your resources.

Being from Alaska, we know all about outsiders telling us how to think and or vote and I'm doing my best not to be that guy. It is our second visit to this beautiful island this year and we love this place. We love to eat all the bounty you have to offer: produce from Kumu Farms, fresh and delicious beef from the Molokai Livestock Cooperative, venison and organic veggies from Pu`u O Hoku Ranch as well as fruits from the market and stands we come across. In order to help these farmers continue these traditions, it must be sustainable, and they cannot be if your resources come into contact with poisons. Please keep Molokai paradise; read, write, talk story and vote Yes. Brian MacMillan Anchorage, AK

to control your weight. It helps digestion too. We don’t eat enough fiber though.

Protein is made up of amino acid.

We need to eat the correct amount of protein every day for lean muscle mass, growth hormones and enzymes, the immune system and for energy to use when carbohydrates are not available.

Some examples for protein are meats, fish, cheese, milk, nuts, some vegetables and poultry. The best part about protein is that it reduces your hunger while you are dieting, because it takes more time for your body to digest.

There are three types of fats: saturated, unsaturated and transfat. Fat is an energy source, and is also used to absorb certain vitamins, like A, D, E, K and carotenoids. But we need to eat mostly unsaturated fats such as olive oil, avocado and nuts. Just don’t forget that too much fat is stored as extra body fat, no matter how good the fat source is.

I hope I explained this well enough so that you can understand, and give more attention on which food choices you make! Don’t forget that, just like everything else in life, balance is the key.

If you have any questions feel free to email me. And please come to my nutrition workshops, where I explain in more detail how we can make healthier choices and improve the quality of our lives. Join my free workshops and you will become your own nutritionist! The next one is Tuesday, Oct. 21, 5:30 p.m., at Home Pumehana. Stay healthy and keep smiling!

Inconvenient Facts Brothers and sisters of Molokai, the ongoing GM debate seen here truly reveals how desperate the punipuni (deceitful) activists are to control your thinking. Basically, the argument is this: are GMOs out to save the world, or destroy it?

Before the facts, some history: an important early human technology was crossbreeding, and successful farming, animal raising and civilization followed. Eventually a monk, Gregor Mendel, revealed the hidden mechanism in nature and the science of genetics was born. Today, breeding is done in a laboratory in the same way many babies are born in the hospital. But now wealthy, radical do-gooders, opposed to scientific progress, want you hungry and squatting in the mud because they think we're poisoning ourselves! Have they heard of the FDA, EPA or AMA, big government agencies? How about the U.S. National Academy of Sciences or the World Health Organization? Multiple peer-reviewed studies were done, too many to cite, yet the noisy “Frankenscience” crowd wants you convinced we need more. Meanwhile, they continue to advance the same biased, discredited information, based on junk science and cherry-picked data.
