In anticipation of Thanksgiving, the Dispatch asked attendees at Kaunakakai School’s Ho`olaulea last Saturday, What are you thankful for?

Kian Toledo, Kualapu`u Elementary student I’m thankful for turkey and my family, meeting [with] all my family. I’m happy for everyone.

Erin Ka`ai, housewife I’m thankful for my family.

We’re always together all the time. I’m thankful that my two children are coming home for Thanksgiving.

itting in her brand-new work studio, local business owner and artist Kala`e Tangonan talks about the Hawaiian mamo. The long-beaked bird, which ali`i prized for its feathers, went extinct more than 100 years ago, a fact that both saddens and inspires Tangonan.

“I thought, ‘I’m gonna make me a mamo,’” Tangonan said, gazing at a line of hanging pareos freshly silkscreened with her hand-drawn mamo.

“People can wear him and he can come back alive.”

The desire to weave cultural heritage into art is reflected in the motto of the new business that Tangonan shares with her younger sister Leimana RitteCamara and friend Miki`ala Pescaia.

“All our `ike, all our knowledge, it comes from who we are as Hawaiian people, and we try to portray that in our art,” said Ritte-Camara. “… Every art piece, every design, is things that we’re connected to somehow.”

Poncie Raguindin, Molokai High School P.E. teacher

Humble Beginnings Although Kupu A`e became an official business just last year, Ritte-Camara said she and Tangonan have been making and selling creations out of Tangonan’s garage for nearly a decade.

It was the business-savvy Pescaia, said Tangonan, who first suggested that they turn her pastime into a serious business. Together, the three founded Kupu A`e, and took their wares to such craft fairs as the Made in Hawaii Festival and the Made in Maui County Festival.

Wanting to separate work and home life, they decided to move to the

location at Holomua Junction – the business center at the corner of Maunaloa Highway and Kalae Highway. Their shop next to Beach Break features shell jewelry, men’s ties, batik scarves, baby blankets, Hokule`a-inspired wear, art supplies and more. According to RitteCamara, no two items are the same.

The sisters don’t use set measurements when they mix colors, making them nearly impossible to duplicate.

he owners of 12 Molokai businesses came home from Maui earlier this month with new customers, sales leads, county-wide fans and a great experience. They attended the first-ever Made in Maui County Festival, an event that showcased locally made products from more than 130 vendors at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center.

The positive response to the festival astounded everyone.

Jennifer Hawkins, small business advocate at Molokai’s Kuha`o Business Center, said about 8,000 attendees were anticipated at the event.

ante’s Island Cuisine’s contract with Hotel Molokai has been called off. Tante’s owner Tante Urban and Hotel Molokai Manger Micheal Drew both confirmed the Maui-based company will no longer be responsible for management of the hotel’s bar and restaurant, though neither would give a reason. Both called it a “mutual agreement.”

Tante’s at Hotel Molokai had been operating the bar and offering a small grill menu while the hotel’s kitchen is being rebuilt after a fire destroyed it two years ago.

Management deal or not, Drew said kitchen construction is still on schedule to be completed in early 2015.

Why I fly with Makani Kai “I don’t like to fly but this is about as close to enjoyable as it can get,” says Walter. “It’s hassle free.” Walter also likes the fact that everybody knows everybody at Makani Kai, “It’s like Molokai. I know the pilots and the other passengers. It’s like family.” On this Thanksgiving, we want to thank Walter and everyone else on Molokai who make Makani Kai Air their airline. Happy Turkey Day.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Community Plan Moving Forward

By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

C

ounty planners and Molokai residents are gearing up to form a blueprint for the island through 2035.

After many delays, the Community Plan update process is underway, poised to kick off in full force in the New Year.

The first Molokai Community Plan was adopted in 1984 and was updated last in 2001. The community plan guides much of the large-scale decision-making for the next 20 years. It includes complete descriptions of existing conditions on the island as well as goals, policies and actions, including land use designations, details on future development, projected effects of that development and infrastructure improvements. The plan also outlines implementation actions for those goals.

Updating the plan has been a long haul; in 2010, planners held community engagement events to begin the updating process, which at that time, was projected to be completed by 2012. But long range planner David Yamashita said Lanai’s community plan update took precedence in Maui County, because of the island’s new ownership and rapidly developing changes, which delayed Molokai’s process. But with Lanai completed, the county is turning its attention back to Molokai and are prepared to move forward to see the plan to completion.

“It’s supposed to be updated every 10 years. … We’re a little behind,” said Jennifer Maydan, a planner with the long range planning division and project lead for Molokai’s update. She, Yamashita and other county staff held an open house event on Molokai Nov. 15 to present information about the process to the community and share what’s coming.

The anticipated update will cover 2015 to 2035, according to Mayden.

Maydan said a Community Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) of 13 Molokai residents will form a decision-making body for the community plan. The CPAC will review, comment and recommend revisions to the draft plan. Nine CPAC members

have been appointed by the County Council, while four will be picked by the mayor.

Starting in early 2015, the CPAC will meet at least twice a month in the evening and be open to the community, with opportunities for public testimony during each meeting.

Maydan said one of the main roles of the community plan is to identify land use designations, such as areas with a priority for subsistence practices. As far as the highly contested recent moratorium on the growing of genetically engineered organisms, Maydan said there are still a lot of unknowns persist about how it will affect the plan.

“We’ve been following the initiative and [it remains to be seen] what our role is,” she said. “It could be a venue to hash it out as far as designating areas [for certain land uses on Molokai.]”

She said in sections of potential dispute within the update process, it may come down to a vote of CPAC members, to be followed by review of the Molokai Planning Commission.

Maydan said one of the biggest challenges of the update process can be predicting community growth. For example, during the last update, Molokai’s population was 6,800 and projected to have grown to 9,100 by now, according to Maydan.

“That growth did not happen,” she said. “Now, we have 7,200 and growth is predicted to 9,300 [by 2035].”

She added the plan examines that growth and how it impacts factors such as land use, county services and additional infrastructure needs.

Starting in the New Year, the CPAC will meet for six months, followed by another six-month period of review by the Molokai Planning Commission. After that, the plan will be in the hands of the County Council for one year, during which more public hearings will be held. The final draft of the community plan will then be reviewed by the Mayor’s office before it’s finalized.

Fire Department Promotions Maui Fire Department News Release The Maui Fire Department is honored to announce the promotions of five fire fighters, three of whom serve or have served on Molokai.

Shane Adolpho was promoted from FF I to FF II Hazmat Technician. Hired in April 2005, FF II Adolpho has worked at the Wailea, Ho`olehua and Kahului Fire Stations. He is the first fire fighter from Molokai to promote to a FF II Hazmat Technician. He is being assigned to the Hazmat Company at the Kahului Fire Station.

John Rosa was promoted from FFI to FFIII. Joining the department in July 2002, he is a 12-year veteran with 4 years served at the Ho`olehua Fire Station and 8

years at the Kaunakakai Fire Station.

He will be assigned to the Ho`olehua Fire Station.

Chad Pacheco was promoted from FFIII to Fire Captain at the Kaunakakai Fire Station on Molokai.

Captain Pacheco is a 15year veteran with nine years served at the Lahaina Fire Station. He was promoted to a FFII on HazMat for six months, and then promoted to FF III working out of the Puko`o Fire Station on Molokai for the next year. From Puko`o, he transferred to the Kahului Fire Station, where he has been stationed till his recent promotion.

Modesto Jacinto was promoted from FFII to FFIII. He is a nine-year veteran, joining the department in April 2005. Owen Deatrick was promoted from FF I to FF II Hazmat Technician, and has been employed with the Fire Department for over 12 years.

Both serve on Maui.

wanted to do for rest of my life. Whatever it was, however I did it, I [would be] fine.”

A Growing Business Hotbed “Once a batch [of paint] is done, it’s done,” she said.

The sisters explained that during the years they worked out of the garage, the community was continually supportive. Friends donated boxes of fabric, cartons of beach shells and cans of paint. Neighborhood kids painted prayer flags side-by-side with Tangonan and her children. Now the owners of Kupu A`e hope to return the favor in their own way. They envision their studio, which is connected to the main shop, as a place where people can create art or seek help creating it, whether it’s shirts for personal use or centerpieces for parties. They’re also considering offering a monthly membership that will allow members to come to the shop and do art whenever they choose.

Both women added that it’s a struggle balancing kids and a budding business. Tangonan, Ritte-Camara and Pescaia all have children, ranging from high school-aged kids to toddlers.

“We’re just trying to be stay-athome moms and at the same time run a business,” Ritte-Camara said. “We don’t wanna be rich or anything. We just want to provide for our family.”

Products are ready for sale and the business has already had a blessing ceremony, but the owners won’t have an official opening and set hours until after Pescaia returns from a trip to New Zealand this week.

Tangonan, who has a bachelor’s degree in arts from the University of Hawaii-Hilo, said a college counselor once told her that art as a business would never come to Molokai and advised that she seek work on other islands. But Tangonan found a way to make it a reality on her home island.

“As soon as went to school, I loved it,” she said. “I knew that’s what

Kupu A`e is now the fourth business at Holomua Junction, 11 acres of property that Diane and Larry Swenson bought in 1988 and developed into a small retail center. They later moved their own business, Swenson Real Estate, onto the property in 1994. To them, it was a good alternative location to downtown Kaunakakai, which is often cramped for parking and is in a flood zone, said Diane Swenson.

“Businesses are safe up there and there’s lots of parking,” she said. “We envisioned it as sort of a safe haven.”

The next business to open at Holomua was The Tobacco Shack, which owner Ka`ili Adachi moved from downtown to the Junction in 2012, although she still owns a sister store, Da Hot Spot, on Kaunakakai’s main street.

The Shack offers snacks, drinks and specialty smoking accessories. Beach Break, a surf shop owned by Zachary Socher and wife Wendy Doenges, opened earlier this year and features boards of all kinds, clothing, teak furniture and printing services for photos and posters. The Junction also includes the office for a University of Hawaii program that works to protect rare and native plants.

According to Diane Swenson, there are still two spaces available, and Adachi said she and Swenson are working together to recruit more tenants. Holomua Junction’s location by a highway funnels drivers from all parts of the island, offering prime visibility, but it is also a place that many people speed past, as Ritte-Camara pointed out.

“It’ll take a little bit of time, but I think people will get in the habit,” said Diane Swenson. “Some people don’t know what we have here. They have to stop and check it out.”

TANTE'S Continued From pg. 1 public on or before Valentine’s Day,” Drew confirmed.

In April, Tante’s Island Cuisine, a family operated restaurant on Maui, was awarded a management contract from Hotel Molokai and officially took over operation of the former Hula Shores Bar. They hired local staff and anticipated bringing good service and a diverse menu to Molokai once the kitchen was rebuilt. But recently, with the kitchen nearing completion, the partnership was called off.

“It’s been a tough business,” said Urban. “We agreed that it’s better if we separate.”

Drew said the hotel does not have an outside operator lined up for the

new restaurant and is looking for options. Drew said his personal expertise is in the hotel business rather than restaurant management. However, he said at this point Hotel Molokai is “moving forward as if we are going to operate it.”

“We want this restaurant to be number one eatery on Molokai,” he said.

In the meantime, the bar is open seven days a week from 3 to 10 p.m., though Drew said he has decided not to continue any bar-side food operation until the new kitchen is open.

“We’re looking forward to getting back to serving the community. We are getting closer,” said Drew.

He estimates the restaurant opening to be in January or February. Check Hotel Molokai’s Facebook page for updates on the progress.

Ho`olaule`a Keeps it Cool

TRADE FESTIVAL Continued From pg. 1

By Colleen Uechi | Staff Writer

P

arents, faculty and community members of Kaunakakai Elementary worked hard last Saturday to raise money to keep students cool in their classrooms. Proceeds from the event will go toward school-related needs, including air conditioning, according to Jenn Whitted, the school’s Parent Community Network Center Facilitator.

Hundreds of Molokai residents came to munch on chicken hekka plates and baked goods, while hula and Tahitian dancers and local bands provided live entertainment under clear skies. A bouncy house and dart and ball tossing games kept the kids energized. Meanwhile, the adults got a chance to win prizes from drawings and bid on items in a silent auction that included Maui hotel stays. Whitted said that aside from the booths set up by local vendors and organizations, all of the items for sale were donated by community members.

“Anybody who gives back to our children, they’re a part of our family,” said school Principal Janice Espiritu. “… The funds will benefit all children, not just those who can pay.”

Espiritu said the event was inspired by the phrase “No Ka Pono O Na Haumana,” which means “It’s all about the students.” It’s this year’s theme for the school complex that includes Molokai, Hana, Lahaina and Lanai.

Kaunakakai Elementary has approximately 320 students, according to Whitted, and Espiritu said she hopes proceeds can fund the cooling system in at least a few classrooms to start. School officials are also considering photovoltaic panels on the roofs to alleviate the extra cost of air conditioning.

were also challenged to keep their products stocked.

Jamie Ronzello of Barking Deer Farm, who marketed her Spiced Coffee dry rubs and Hibiscus Cooler Tea at the festival, said she almost sold out of her products. She said she secured four wholesale accounts, including the gift shop at the Maui Ocean Center.

“Everyone was so excited to see a contingency from Molokai,” she said. “I was really proud to be one of the 12 vendors from here! It really felt like a strong, cohesive family. True to style, all the Molokai vendors hui-ed up and helped each other in whatever fashion was needed.”

Hawkins agreed.

“It was great because what you saw was a community of business owners from Molokai pull together [to make it happen],” she said.

Hawkins said each of the 12 businesses paid for their booth but received a stipend from the county to assist with transportation and other expenses, and the Marriot hotel also helped out Molokai by offering them a deal on their two-night stay, Hawkins said.

“Everyone wants product from Molokai but it’s hard for Molokai to get their product off-island,” explained Hawkins, adding that the Made in Maui County Festival was an opportunity for the county to assist them in that effort.

Patty McCartney of Pualani O Molokai highlighted her Molokai-grown vanilla bean products. She said she made some wholesale connections at the show and two weeks later, has already filled orders.

“Just to have people come by … and share my passion with people over and over … was great,” she said. “I’ve been working up to do something larger than just Saturday market. … This was a jump into the water. It was saying, ‘I can participate at that level.’”

Hawkins said for many Molokai vendors, the Made in Maui County Festival

was just what they needed to push them to the next step of their business.

“For me as a business specialist, we need more jobs, we need more revenue generated to be spent here in our community,” said Hawkins. “So, without changing the infrastructure of our community, the one thing we can do is look at e-commerce.

In order to meet qualifications of the show, you needed to have some type of social media or web presence.”

And for some, she said, that’s what it takes to become successful.

For many Molokai participants, they said it was the support they received that made the event possible. Whether it was Hawkins, fellow community members or family and friends that helped man the booths, local vendors are left filled with gratitude.

“I could not have done it without the support of so many people here in the community,” said Ronzello, whose mother also assisted with her increasing inventory prior to the event.

Lyndon Dela Cruz, owner of Lanakila Designs, a graphic design company that offers customized decals, said in a county press release that the show gave him confidence in his two-year-old business. He was assisted at the event by his sister, Sweet McKee. “This is his passion. He’s been an artist since he was little,” she said in the release.

“It’s awesome to see him go like this.”

The county event was patterned after the annual Made in Hawaii Festival on Oahu. Organizers said the Maui County version was so successful that they’re already planning for a repeat next year.

Hawkins said she hopes to see even more Molokai businesses to attend.

And for those just starting out or growing their business, Hawkins has words of wisdom.

“It’s not all sunshine, there are ups and down, but the main thing is to set a goal, stick with it, and … don’t stray away,” she said. “Do something you love, and love something that you do and realize that when it goes from a hobby to a business, it will change, and you have to love it enough to get through that change.”

Butterfly Garden Naming Contest Friends of Molokai Public Library News Release We had a contest for keiki, Kindergarten through sixth grade, to name our Butterfly Garden on the library lawn. Presentation of awards for top three winners took place at the garden last Wednesday.

First place name was "Mala Pulelehua"(Butterfly Garden) by Journey Mahiai-Paleka, age 10, who won a $20 gift certificate for The Jeans Warehouse. Second place was Kapalili" (Flutter) by Jantzen Mahiai-Paleka, age 8, who won a $10 gift certificate for Kamoi Snack-N-Go. Third place was "Spread Your Wings" by Logan Oshiro, age 6, earning a $5 gift certificate for Kamoi Snack-N-Go. Other entries who received a gift bag from the library were Puakea Gamiao, "Hale O Pulelehua;” Brian

Gomes, "Beautiful Pulelehua;” Mallory Go, "Merry Monarchs;” Kaira Kaina, "Beautiful Butterfly;” Pomaikai Stone, "Kamalaokau`iaka`ike" (The Garden of Beauty and Knowledge); and Waikolu Stone, "Kaleidoscope Garden.”

The Butterfly Garden, planted earlier this year through volunteer community efforts under the leadership of Chevy Lavasa, offers a habitat for butterflies with favored flower species, beauty for passersby and an agriculture education for keiki.

Members of the Friends of the Molokai Public Library took over the care of the garden when Chevy moved to Oahu. The garden is flourishing, with caterpillars and chrysalis of the Monarch were found on the Crown Flower, and the tiny blue butterfly that loves the Rattlepod flitting around.

Thanksgiving Recipes

Molokai Fitness: Thanksgiving Dinner

By James Temple | Molokai Chef

Fresh Fruit Salad with Sweet Ginger Dressing

By Ayda Ersoy

Who doesn't like fresh fruit, so why not serve it this Thanksgiving with a delicious dressing.

Ingredients for salad: Choose a mixture of your favorite sliced fresh fruit (mango, papaya, orange slices, bananas, pears, grapes, etc., whatever is fresh and in season). Place sliced fruit on a bed of watercress leaves, or other salad greens that you like.

Ingredients for dressing: 1 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/3 cup honey 1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar 1/4 cup sesame seeds 1/4 cup minced fresh ginger root 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic 3 teaspoons sesame oil 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes Procedure: In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, vinegar, sesame seeds, ginger, garlic, sesame oil and red pepper flakes. Serve over your favorite salad greens with fresh fruit. Makes 2 1/3 cups of dressing, enough for 6-8 salads.

2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained or 1/2 cup fresh, chopped fine Topping: 1/2 cup flaked coconut 3 tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon Procedure: In a mixing bowl, blend the sugar and oil.

A Diversity of Diabetes Pills

By Jon Mikami, RPh, and Kelly Go, RPh | Molokai Drugs, Inc. If you or someone you love has diabetes, you know how important it is to manage it well. If you don’t, you’re at risk for serious complications that can affect your heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves—to name a few.

Some people can manage diabetes with meal planning, weight loss and exercise alone. Others also need medication. Pills to lower blood sugar levels are one type of drug used to treat diabetes.

Can diabetes pills help you?

Not if you have type 1 diabetes.

If you have type 2 diabetes, then you’re more likely to benefit if you’ve had diabetes for less than 10 years and your body still makes insulin. That’s the hormone that regulates sugar levels in your blood.

There is more than one type of diabetes pill, and the FDA has approved several new ones in the recent past. Sometimes combining more than one type is the best solution. Or, your doctor may prescribe pills plus insulin.

There are many classes of diabetes pills. They help you control your diabetes in different ways. These drugs may stimulate the pancreas to release more insulin, decrease the amount of sugar the liver produces, make muscle tissue more sensitive to insulin, help insulin work better or lower blood sugar, but only when it gets too high in your body.

It can also help the kidney get rid of extra sugar, which lowers levels in your blood, block the breakdown of starches such as pasta and potatoes, and slow the breakdown of certain

sugars, which slows the rise of sugar levels after eating or both lower cholesterol and reduce blood sugar.

Isn’t it amazing how many different ways these drugs work? If one doesn’t work well for you or if it stops working, another may be more successful. That’s because doctors and scientists think that the cause of type 2 diabetes is not the same for all people with the disease. If your doctor has prescribed one of these drugs, we can provide you with more information. To help avoid interactions with other drugs, print a list of all your medications, both prescription and over the counter, including vitamins. Bring that list with you when you come to talk to us.

We can answer other questions you might have about your medication, such as special instruction for this medication, whether you need to take it with meals or certain times of day, if you should avoid taking this medication with any foods, vitamins or supplements, and what are the most common short and long-term effects of the drug.

As you can see, the arsenal for fighting diabetes just keeps growing – and we haven’t even touched on new injectable and inhaled medications. Let’s save that for another visit to Molokai Drugs!

Nothing herein constitutes medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, or is a substitute for professional advice.

You should always seek the advice of your physician or other medical professional if you have questions or concerns about a medical condition.

Do you want the good news or bad news first? The good news is that just by reading this, I know that you are already thinking about your health! Yes, it’s Thanksgiving: turkey time, a perfect time to eat together with our ohana and be grateful for what we already have.

But are you also ready to gain five pounds or more in one night?

If you plan the day before, then you don’t need to. Of course I’m not suggesting you follow a crazy strict diet, you just need to be sensible and use your intuition. I have some tips for you, but first let’s remember that you need to correct knowledge to make the correct decisions.

If you eat more than you need in one meal then you will store new body fat -- that’s the way your body works. Also remember that one gram of carbs (bread, rice, potato, pasta, etc.) makes your body’s cells hold three extra grams of water. So when you gain weight you will also be gaining water weight. And if you’ve been dieting then you’ll push your body back to its starting point.

So what can you do? Make sure that you don’t miss your breakfast on Thanksgiving day. Eat more lean protein (for example eggs, cottage cheese, greek yoghurt, protein powder...) to help keep your blood sugar stable.

Drink tons of water. Don’t eat or drink any type of sugar. That means

6

sugary drinks like soda too!

Don’t do extra exercise before your dinner. This will just make you more hungry than before. Instead do extra exercise the next day.

When you start filling up your plate, start with lots of veggies. This will help you eat more slowly.

Reduce oil and butter wherever you can. Try just one tablespoon of gravy.

Try to eat your dessert at least one hour after your dinner.

If you choose potatoes, then don’t also choose bread or rice.

Think differently! You can eat all the food you want but after you will not feel good. It’s better to enjoy your meal, so try and eat mindfully.

When you start to feel full, stop eating! You can always eat more later if you’re still hungry.

If you want to succeed at permanent weight management then you need to learn how to eat during holidays, birthday parties, etc.

It doesn’t have to be try that you always gain weight after your Thanksgiving dinner.

So, what’s the bad news? It is your choice, to watch what you’re eating or to choose not to care. It’s really that simple. Whatever you choose, you need to take the responsibility -- don’t blame anyone or anything, it’s really up to you.

Be objective. Remind yourself what you want to do, and what your motivation is for doing it. Be grateful, be thankful, enjoy your dinner.

Happy holidays!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): What exactly do you believe in, Aries? What's your philosophy of life? Do you think that most people are basically good and that you can make a meaningful life for yourself if you just work hard and act kind?

Do you believe that evil, shapeshifting, kitten-eating extraterrestrials have taken on human form and are impersonating political leaders who control our society? Are you like the character Crash Davis in the film Bull Durham, who believed in "high fiber, good scotch, the sweet spot, and long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days"? Now would be an excellent time for you to get very clear about the fundamental principles that guide your behavior. Re-commit yourself to your root beliefs -- and jettison the beliefs that no longer work for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Pantone Color Matching System presents a structured approach to identifying colors.

It's used as a standard in the printing industry. According to its system of classification, there are 104 various shades of grey. I suspect you will benefit from being equally discerning in the coming weeks. It just won't be possible to differentiate between the good guys and the bad guys. You'll misunderstand situations that you try to simplify, and you'll be brilliant if you assume there's always more nuance and complexity to uncover. Don't just grudgingly tolerate ambiguity, Libra. Appreciate it. Learn from it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I am not necessarily predicting that you will acquire a shiny new asset in time for the solstice. Nor am I glibly optimistic that you will get a raise in pay or an unexpected bonus. And I can offer only a 65-percent certainty that you will snag a new perk or catch a financial break or stumble upon a treasure. In general, though, I am pretty confident that your net worth will rise in the next four weeks. Your luck will be unusually practical. To take maxiTAURUS (April 20-May 20): I have two encyclopedias mum advantage of the cosmic tendencies, focus your efforts of dreams, and they disagree on the symbolic meaning of on the one or two most promising prospects. mud. One book says that when you dream of mud, you may be facing a murky moral dilemma in your waking life, or are SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Galileo Galilei (1564perhaps dealing with a messy temptation that threatens to 1642) was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and mathematicompromise your integrity.

I suspect that you have been dreaming of mud lately, esy. For us today, he symbolizes the magnificence of rational thought. And yet Galileo also had a weird streak. For example, Taurus, and that both meanings apply to you. he gave lectures on the "Shape, Location, and Size of Dante's GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Are there certain influences Inferno," analyzing the poet's depiction of hell.

Should you therefore dispense with all of the parts of your past that are holding you back. your psychic protections and leave yourself vulnerable to AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In her book Revolution from being abused? I hope not.

Within, Gloria Steinem offers a challenge: "Think of the times LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I know you're beautiful and you you have said: 'I can't write,' 'I can't paint,' 'I can't run,' 'I can't know you're beautiful.

Veterans Corner

By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events.

Why do airmen wear distinct chevrons? Chevrons have been worn as emblems of military rank or badges of honor since the 1100s, according to the “Complete Guide to United States Army Medals, Badges and Insignia.” One legend says a chevron was awarded to knights for capturing castles, towns or buildings, and its shape was believed to resemble a roof, the guide says. The U.S. Army likely adopted the custom in the 1700s from the French, who wore chevrons as length of service and good conduct badges.

During the early years the Army allowed sergeants to wear epaulettes or stripes of red cloth as distinguishing marks since the service lacked official insignia for noncommissioned officers. The War Department first ordered the wearing of the insignia in 1821, according to Army documents, and since 1902 the chevron has been worn point up. The Air Force inherited the ranks and corresponding insignia from the Army in 1947, but the current style began testing early in the

service’s existence and was approved

by Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg in 1948. The design resembles the shoulder patch worn by Army Air Forces during World War II with the upward slant of the stripes resembling wings.

How did everyone do with the last question? I hope very well. Last week’s question was, “The pua aloalo, Hawaii’s lovely state flower, is actually a common garden shrub known by what name?” The answer is hibiscus.

Is everybody ready for a new question? The new question is, “The nene, a goose on the endangered species list, is the state bird of what western state?”

During this week in history, a retired dentist named Barney Clark had his heart replaced by a plastic and metal device, an artificial heart, in an operation at Salt Lake City on Dec. 2, 1982. On Dec. 10, 1930, novelist Sinclair Lewis became the first American to win the Nobel Prize for literature.

If any of my fellow residents of Molokai or veteran has any questions, suggestions, or news, please give old Jesse a call at 553-3323, as I continue to depend on all the information you give me. Have a great week and please remember that old Jesse loves you all dearly. Aloha.

GM Is the Way Forward GMO Moratorium Maui County people are to be thanked for having passed the GMO Moratorium initiative.

The much needed study to weigh GMO risks and benefits can now be performed. Available data is out-of-date. A new study needs to be conducted using currently accepted methods and procedures to overcome the objections of past testing programs.

For example, a study by Monsanto using laboratory animals was conducted for three months, a rather short time. The study showed no safety or medical problems.

Another study more recently conducted in France

lasted for two years. The same type of laboratory animal used in the Monsanto study, was used in this study.

Two groups of animals were fed: 1. Organic feed, 2. GMO feed and glyphosate. The organic group showed no signs of disease. The GMO group developed tumors after nine months to a year. Some objections were raised about both studies. It is recommended that an independent agency conduct new tests that remove factors that were objected to in past studies, using high quality experimental protocols.

So, a GMO farming injunction's in place, and now biotech opponents have to prove their case. The good news is, they can't. Don't be misled, all the talk about poisons and cancer is rubbish, propaganda. GM's safety is backed by the USDA, FDA, EPA, U of H, plus 1700 scientific trials and twice as many medical experts. Trans-genic corn, soybeans and wheat are grown all over the world, fully 70 percent of the foods we now consume. There are no more '”heirloom” seeds, GM is the way forward, the genie is out of the bottle!

Improved agriculture is needed to keep the human population going in high-demand environments -- Earth will have nine billion people in 25 years, try feeding them without GM crops. In 2008 there were riots in 36 countries after food prices skyrocketed, that's what farming bans lead to -- anyone listening, European Union? Anti-science environmentalism is partly anti-corporate, activists just don't want America to be a high-tech leader. Eliminating fossil fuels is a major goal, and your car is next! But

the same rush to judgment, in advance of the facts has happened before, when environmental movement pressure banned DDT -- and tens of millions of malaria deaths resulted, conveniently in the Third World.

Hypocritically, if “Frankenfoods” tinker with nature, fanatics have no problem with fetal stem cell research, or GMO pakalolo with 18 percent THC -there's a Super Weed! Moreover, recent food recalls have been on organics, two to one. And a main farming ban sponsor owns a chain of natural food stores.

Science and technology are the engines of economic progress, and the seed companies are huge income generators for our state. Take away tourism and the military (both controversial, granted), and not much remains. To echo Samuel Kealoha's letter of Nov. 12, haven't we had enough of activists and their causes?

Hard to stay relevant when their agenda hurts poor places like Molokai.

Mark Calvino Kualapu`u

Supporting a Vision Dear Molokai Farm Advisor and those interested in farming, As a follow-up to Joe Kennedy’s astute and sensitive vision (“Preparing for a Possible Crisis,” in the Nov. 5 issue), and as a perpetual teacher (of 30 years), one idea for a supportive continuum may involve gathering a team (your colleagues, Molokai High and Community College agri-bound students, earning practicum credits, as well as from your experiential years of agri-knowledge) to map out a master plan to visit the aina, of all ohana that would welcome you, to share your thoughts regarding the following on their home site: define soil content; sun exposure; average expected rainfall; other water sources; organic preparedness of the soil; best areas of the property to grow types of crops that would help sustain them; the ones to propagate for island consumption and sustainability and/or “off-island” for remuneration.

Perhaps forming regional equipment coops to share tools, etc. pooling and borrowing, would help those get a start.

You’d be doing this island a great service with lasting value.

“Let’s go bananas,” as Mr. Kennedy does, to avert the possible crisis.

Although the below article appeared in the California news weekly, The Pacific Sun, Jan. 12, 2012, it seems very relevant and timely to the above community letter.

“Read the latest UN report on feeding the world: Small-scale farming is the true answer. Even Prince Charles agrees!

His Royal Highness gave a detailed account of the consequences of industrial food production, including soil erosion and limited water supplies, in May 2011.

‘These are just a few of the enormous ecological and human health costs of a system that depends upon chemical pesticides, fertilizers and antibiotics to function,’ said the prince. ‘Farming practices that mirror the miraculous ingenuity of nature can be just as productive – without the ecological degradation.’”

Always a kumu and forever a visionary, Shirlee Newman
