group of Molokai farmers were looking to cultivate something beyond bananas and broccoli on Nov. 20: their business and marketing abilities. About a dozen local farmers and ranchers gathered at Hikiola to attend the Agriculture Business Development Training workshop to refine their skills at winning customers and securing funding. With the county moratorium on genetically engineered crops currently on hold, many farmers are uncertain about the possible effects on their businesses. Although the workshop’s guest speaker, Nicole Milne, didn’t have concrete answers, she said laying out and following smart plans will keep farmers on the right path. “I feel like people’s goals for their businesses and their farming ideals are fairly secure,” said Milne, associate vice president for programs for The Kohala Center, a Hawaii Island-based research and education organization. “People have their beliefs and they’re farming to them.”
Finding the Money As Molokai resident Ivan Kawamae prepares to start his own farm, he said that the initial finances required present a challenge. “It’s not [my] first time attempting to do business, it’s just the hurdles that we gotta cross over,” said Kawamae. “… It takes money to make money.” Milne agreed that finances can be a headache, both for beginning farmers and those already in the business. Many farmers seek grants because, unlike loans, they don’t require repayment. However,

overed in powdery colors of the rainbow, more than 300 participants of all ages laughed their way through the five-kilometer Turkey Rainbow Run/Walk at Kualapu`u School last Saturday morning. Participants of the first-ever Rainbow Run let out a cheer and filled the air with a palette of powders as the event kicked off, while a natural
bow arched fittingly overhead. “I’ve never seen this many people run a 5K race and be happy about it!” said Marshall Joy, a Kualapu`u School teacher. “It’s great to see all the smiles.” Ty McComas, Registered Nurse at Na Pu`uwai, helped spearhead the event with the assistance of fellow Na Pu`uwai staff member Komela Horner. McComas said he has partnered with Kualapu`u’s physical education program before, and the idea for a color run came from a brainstorming session. The event was a collaboration between Kualapu`u School, Molokai Middle School and Na Pu`uwai, and McComas said they’re already planning to include Kaunakakai School next year to “make it even bigger.” “It’s fitness, fun and family,” he said, summing up the morning. “It’s just a fun event to promote healthy lifestyles.”

Bullet Shot Through Molokai Home
orty years after he left the Army, Vietnam veteran John “Longie” Dudoit can rattle off his military identification number without hesitation. “RA67190651,” he says, swiftly and surely. Because even though are some memories Dudoit would like to forget as a veteran of one of the most controversial wars in American history, these memories, like his military number, are seared into his mind. It was the photographs that first drew Dudoit into the Vietnam conflict. Wanting to know if the war pictures he’d seen were true, he joined the Army fresh out of Molokai High School and was deployed to Vietnam in 1968. It turned out to be worse than he’d expected. Dudoit and his platoon traveled upriver in the Navy’s tango boats, jumping onshore for “search and destroy” missions that sometimes lasted several days.
He slogged through the rice paddies of Kien Hoa province with the Army’s 9th Division, looking for enemy targets that military intelligence had picked up. As an infantryman, Dudoit said he was sent to the front lines. During patrols, they often came under fire. He saw fellow soldiers shot through the head by snipers’ bullets. He dragged wounded comrades through canals under a hail of bullets. He and his platoon lived with the overhanging threat of Napalm and

west Molokai couple woke up to an alarming surprise last month, when a bullet was shot into their home during the night. The homeowners, who live at the north end of Papohaku Beach, said they are not looking for an arrest, but want to share a message of hunting safety. “I think it’s great if someone wants to get meat for their family,” said the homeowner, who wished to remain anonymous. “I’m not anti-gun. I grew up in rural Montana and went to my first hunter safety class when I was six years old. One of the first things we learned is to be aware of your background – know where your bullet is going to go.” About midnight on Monday, Nov. 17, the homeowner said his wife awoke to what she thought was the sound of glass breaking. First thing Tuesday morning, they were shocked to find that a bullet had gone through their outdoor, motorized screen, a chair on their lanai, and shattered their plate glass door into “a million pieces.” The bullet didn’t stop there. Inside their house, it splintered a dining room chair, destroyed a desk, and ricocheted under the couch, according to the homeowner. As an engineer who said he worked hard to buy eight acres in 2001 and spent years saving to build their house in 2008, the homeowner said based on his own experience with firearms, the bullet was shot from about 1,000 feet. He said he and his wife are lucky to be alive. “If a person had just changed the angle a quarter of a degree [from that distance], it would have gone through our bed,” he said. “That’s what scared me so bad.” Having lived on Molokai since 1996, the homeowner said he’s heard of a bullet hitting the outside of a home but never going through a house. And he’s not pointing a finger at locals – it could have been anyone, he said. “There’s no good thing about hunting at night, and if you’re going to do it, go someplace where there’s no house within 100 acres,” he said. “There are thousands of acres that are not in close proximity to homes.” The homeowner said although he and his wife often hear gunshots at night and see campfires on the north end of Papohaku, they have never called the police. “I think that might change,” he admitted, after the incident. That morning, police came to investigate the bullet entry into their house and took photos. He told police he doesn’t want to press charges. “I am so respectful of how the community works – I don’t want to know who it was,” he said. “In my experience living in a small community, the kupuna will talk to [whoever did it and take care of it.]” Molokai Police did not return requests for comment.

Why I fly with Makani Kai “This is my first time flying with Makani Kai,” says Godfrey, who learned about us through his parents. “They like it here because check in is easy and there’s no TSA.” Godfrey, who is preparing for a future as a firefighter, says he also appreciates the fact that parking is free. “Plus, when everyone’s here, we go. There’s no waiting around.” We trust that all went well for Godfrey on his inaugural flight and that he becomes a regular with us.

New DOE Position for MHS Coalition Files to Defend GE Moratorium Graduate By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief
A
Molokai High graduate has been named to a new position for Oahu’s Castle-Kahuku Complex Area schools. Gisele Wong, a long-time educator raised on Molokai, is now working as the Title 1 linker to ensure that the 16-school complex meets federal achievement requirements. Title 1 is part of the federal government’s commitment to close the achievement gap between disadvantaged students and other students by providing school funding based on high numbers of students from lowincome families. Daughter of Mark Ortogero and the late Linda Adachi Kahookano, Wong was born on Oahu and moved to Molokai when she was 15; most of her extended family still lives on the Friendly Isle “I owe a lot of where I am as an educator and a lifelong learner to a handful of MHIS teachers, who believed that anything is possible,” said Wong, a mother of five. Wong, a mother of five, has been named the Title 1 linker for Oahu’s Castle-Kahuku Complex. Wong has worked in education for 14 years. She served as the CastleKahuku Complex Area’s Effective
Educator System resource teacher, helping administrators, teachers and schools write learning and improvement objectives. She also taught at Kahuku High and Intermediate, and Hauula Elementary. Kahuku-resident Wong earned a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from Capella University and is working toward her doctorate degree in the same field. She received her bachelor’s degree in special education from Brigham Young University-Hawaii and is also licensed to teach special education. “From an educational perspective, I have learned that for better or worse, it takes one good teacher to change the entire course of many,” said Wong. “I’m glad and grateful that I had a few good teachers on Molokai, when I needed them the most in my education.” While her work has taken her back to Oahu, she speaks fondly of Molokai. “I love and miss the late-night trips for hot bread, hanging out at One Ali`i Park and in Kalae near the Kaulapapa lookout, cruising down the wharf to go fishing, and driving up a ridge to scan the landscape for deer,” she said.

A coalition of Maui and Molokai residents, farmers, and public interest groups, represented by Center for Food Safety (CFS) and Earthjustice, filed papers in Honolulu federal district court last week to defend the County of Maui’s recently passed genetically engineered (GE) crop safety initiative from a legal challenge by multinational chemical companies. The ballot initiative prohibits the growth, testing or cultivation of GE crops in Maui County until an environmental and public health study can show that the planting operations are safe for the community. Over the past year, CFS and Earthjustice have similarly fought on behalf of local citizen groups to defend the GE crop and pesticides ordinances passed by Kauai and Hawaii counties in 2013. The coalition of groups asking to intervene includes The Mothers on a Mission (MOM) Hui, a group of mothers on Molokai, Maui and other islands concerned about the health of their families; Molokai Mahi`ai, a hui of Molokai-based farmers, and Maui farmer Gerry Ross, concerned about the impacts of chemical-based industrial agriculture on their livelihoods and on their island community; and CFS, the leading national group advocating for responsible regulation of genetic engineering and pesticides. “Our mission statement is, ‘What
we love, we will protect!’” said members of the MOM Hui. “We are seeking to uphold the law, which was voted in by the people of Maui County, for the health and safety of us all.” On Nov. 13, just nine days after the Maui initiative passed, Monsanto, along with Dow-owned Agrigenetics and several industry-friendly groups, sued Maui County, seeking to have the moratorium thrown out. It also asked the court to temporarily delay the measure’s effectiveness by issuing an injunction. Maui County immediately embraced the chance to block the will of its voters and agreed to an injunction until March 2015. “Like the residents of Kauai county and Hawaii counties before them, the people of Maui County decided they would no longer sit idly by as the State of Hawaii becomes a poisoned paradise of intensive genetically engineered crop production and its intertwined pesticide spraying,” said George Kimbrell, senior attorney for Center for Food Safety. “These chemical companies are again trying to trump the democratic process, and again, we stand by the communities and will vigorously defend the law.” The opposition to the initiative, almost exclusively backed by Monsanto and Dow, spent $7,970,686.12 on the race—$362.22 per vote earned—or $174.43 per total vote cast, on a barrage of television spots and other media.

Aka`ula School Fundraiser Editor’s note: Ku Ka Lau Lama is Aka`ula School’s annual dinner fundraiser, held this year on Nov. 15. Below, reprinted with permission from Aka`ula’s newsletter, are what students had to say about the event.
Ku Ka Lau Lama
By Destiny Thoms, Grade 9 On Saturday, November 15, Aka’ula School held an event called Ku Ka Lau Lama. At Ku Ka Lau Lama, students served guests an appetizer, dinner, and dessert. I served a VIP table, and only four people had that opportunity. When I arrived, I helped my mom set up the appetizers. Our uniforms were long black pants and a red Aka`ula shirt, and the girls also had to keep their hair up. When we started, it was slow. When guests arrived with our table number, we guided them to their table. I had a customer at my table before the event started. I was just waiting for the rest of her party. When they arrived I guided them through the silent auction, showed them to the appetizer table, and explained the “Giving Tree”. After that, I showed them to their table, but they went to look at the items at the silent auction. Then I waited for the rest of my guests. When dinner began, everything started to go faster. I served my table their salad. I checked on them a couple of times and cleared their table. I did the same with their dinner and their dessert. The middle school put on their play, The Elephant’s Child. It was harder once the play began, because there were lots of kids performing so I had to take care of three VIP tables.
My feet were hurting towards the end, but I forgot about it when we got to eat dinner. After most of the guests left, it started raining hard, and we were dancing and playing in the rain. I was completely soaked from head to toe, but I had a good night, even though my feet were hurting.
Working at the Giving Tree Booth By Kekumu Helm, Grade 8
Every time I bend down to float the mini-boats in the pool I pray that I don’t fall in. Two weeks ago there was a very significant event for our school. The name of the event is Ku Ka Lau Lama, and it is a fundraising event. Our parents hosted the event, which was held at Hotel Molokai. Everyone was really busy. Some kids were waiters and waitresses for our guests, and others helped in booths. I worked in a booth called the “Giving Tree”. The “Giving Tree” is where people donate money for resources that the school needs or for school trips. Donors received a rosemary plant, a chocolate mint, and an LED light on a tiny boat that they could float into the pool. The event itself was a success, and I had an awesome time.
Elephant’s Child
Jalen Kalama, Grade 7 At the Ku Ka Lau Lama event students performed “The Elephant’s Child”. Ku Ka Lau Lama is Aka`ula’s biggest fundraiser of the year. We had a dinner theater and performed Elephants Child, a play about an elephant, who is curious about what the crocodile has for dinner. I was the narrator and I think it was the best performance I’ve done. My favorite song in the play is “Pull”. I like it because its active and you’re pulling an elephant out of the crocodile’s mouth. It is also very catchy. “The Elephant’s Child” was amazing and that was the best performance we’ve ever done.

VETERAN
Continued From pg. 1 Agent Orange, a toxic mix of chemicals the U.S. used to destroy jungle foliage in Vietnam that left both soldiers and civilians alike with severe deformities. “Sometimes when we were setting up at night, people would shoot, and then you hear moanings in the night time,” Longie recalled. “You wonder what the hell is happening. [You] cannot wait to get out of there.” When he could, he sent letters home to his high school sweetheart Lorna, whom he’d met during their junior year at Molokai High School. Lorna was studying liberal arts at Maunaolu College in Paia. She remembers not knowing much about the war, since the media coverage during that time had to do more with protests rather than the war itself. “I really wasn’t aware of what was going on until he got back,” she said. “Then he started talking to me about … what happened.” Less than a month before he was to leave Vietnam, Longie was doing security checks on a bridge when passing motorcyclists shot him through the wrist. He was medevaced to Saigon, where he recuperated in a hospital with a fellow soldier who’d been burned head-to-toe by Napalm. When the military offered Longie $5,000 to return to the service, he turned them down. He’d seen enough.
The Battle Back Home Back on Molokai, Longie and Lorna were married in May 1970. However, other aspects of transitioning to civilian life turned out to be “like fighting another war,” as Longie said. Many professionals at the time failed to monitor the physical and mental health of returning veterans, so like many others, Longie had to face the effects of war alone. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) wasn’t officially recognized until 1980. Lorna convinced her husband to see a counselor from the VA, but the counselor didn’t see the need. “[She asked], ‘What are you here for? ‘What do you want?’” Lorna said, remembering the counselor’s hostile attitude. “I don’t think she even realized what they went through.” After that, Longie said he tried to close off that part of his life. He stopped
The Molokai DispaTch • Dec 3, 2014 •
talking about his experiences and refused to see fellow veterans. He said he often turned to fighting and drinking to drown out the gunshots and helicopters he heard in his nightmares. But, as Lorna explained, “the key was to keep busy,” and before long, the Dudoits were occupied with kids and jobs. While Lorna worked in the tax office, Longie did construction, a job that allowed him to vent some of his frustrations “Instead of pounding people, I was pounding dirt with the machine,” he joked. When counselors finally started to visit Molokai in the late 90s, Longie began seeing Dr. Kathleen McNamara and was diagnosed as a “100 percent PTSD disabled veteran,” which means he gets the maximum amount of compensation payments that veterans can receive from the government. While he said he’s still bothered by the occasional memory, he’s taking the doctor’s calming mental exercises to heart. “For the rest of my life, it’s gonna be there, but to learn how to control it, that’s the main thing,” Longie said. “Dr. Mac was like the breaking point for me. … That’s why I can kinda just talk about it a little bit. Before, no way.” Now, the Dudoits are both heavily involved in veterans’ affairs on Molokai. Longie serves as vice commander for Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans (MVCV) and has arranged for psychologists to visit the island. Both are helping finalize construction on a new center for MVCV. The center, which they hope will be completed this year, will include private offices for counseling. “I think it was our calling then, to suffer at the start,” said Longie. “We look back at all the struggles … and now we sit back on our porch and we look at each other and say …” “A lot to be thankful for,” said Lorna, finishing her husband’s sentence. Whether it’s facing painful memories or helping others to do the same, Lorna and Longie have a habit of tackling everything together. This story is part of a new Dispatch series called Heroes Among Us, to honor the island’s veterans, their personal histories and contributions. Each article will feature a profile of one of Molokai’s war veterans. If you know a veteran you’d like to see featured in this series or would like to share your own story, please contact us at 552-2781 or editor@themolokaidispatch.com.

BULLET Continued From pg. 1 “The police are doing an investigation,” said Richard Westlund, president of the West Molokai Association (WMA) homeowners group. “We’re not sure about the circumstances around the discharge of that firearm, so we’re not making any judgments. We hear gunfire at night quite frequently. Our response is we’re going to have to call Maui County Police more often on this.” Westlund said the WMA is not against hunting, but is concerned for the safety of residents living in the area. Those concerns are not new. In 2012, reports of hunting near residences brought Molokai Ranch, Ke Nani Kai Condominium Association, Paniolo Hale Condominium Association, Kepuhi Beach Condominium Association, the WMA, Molokai Police Department and the Department of Land and Natural Resources to work together to address the safety issues, Molokai Ranch Project Manager Nancy Schmicker said two years ago. She said at that time, representatives of these organizations held meetings and “recognize that a long-term solution is needed and will be working with community members to develop a plan of action that satisfies everyone’s needs and, most importantly, keeps residents safe.” “In the long-term we hope to create a solution for all residents, to allow access to safe hunting areas and for beach-goers to have a way to get to the beach without damaging private property,” Dathan Bicoy, operations manager for Molokai Ranch, told the Dispatch in 2012. “If we can all work together and respect each other, we can create a solution that works for everyone.”
Glass door shattered by bullet
Molokai Ranch did not return requests for comment following the last month’s incident, but Westlund said the Ranch had enacted a blanket policy that allows any individual on the west end observing a trespass or unsafe discharge of firearms to report it to police. Previously, only landowners could report trespassing. Westlund said homeowners have not been diligent enough in reporting hunting near homes, but said he expects that will increase now that a home has been damaged. The homeowner said he spoke with Molokai Ranch leadership, who indicated they may block off access to Papohaku’s north end. “I don’t think that’s a great solution,” the homeowner said. “It’s the best part of the beach.” He said he thinks the solution lies with the community and raising awareness of the safety concerns. “You bring [the incident] up in the hardware store and everyone is like, ‘what in the world, you gotta be kidding me!’” he said. “Night hunting in neighborhoods cannot be tolerated.”

Fundraising update. As of Friday, Nov. 11, 2014, we are a little over half way to making our $10,000 goal. Thanks to one generous donation and a few other smaller ones, we are currently over the $5,000 mark, but still a long way from reaching our goal. All funds raised during this month-long campaign will be applied to our general endowment fund. Income generated from this fund supports all the students at Molokai High and Molokai Middle schools. We also have an athletic endowment that was set up for our student athletes, and if you want your $100 to go to this fund, then just designate it on your check. We’ll be glad to apply your donation for our student athletes as well. We still have about one more week to find 100 individuals willing to make a $100 donation. Dollarwise, we are almost there. Donor-wise, we are far short. If can, can, if no can, no can. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. A donor list will be printed in a December issue of The Molokai Dispatch to recognize and thank all those who rose to the cause. Friends of Molokai High & Middle School is a nonprofit group that strives to enhance the quality of competitive opportunities for the students of Molokai.

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. How did everybody do with the last question? Last week’s question was, “The nene goose, which is on the endangered species list, is the state bird of what western state?” And the answer is Hawaii. Note the nene is also known as the Hawaiian goose. This week in history, Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941, is “a date which will live in infamy, the United States naval forces at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, were suddenly and without warning attacked by the Empire of Japan.” Those were the words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the radio to the American people. The Japanese attack started at 7:55 a.m. that morning and ended at 9:45 a.m. The Navy and Marines had 2,086 fatalities, the Army 194. The Navy and Marines had 749 wounded and the Army 360, while the Japanese had less than 100 casualties. The Mobile Vet Center and the Maui Vet Center have been providing readjustment counseling services to warzone active duty, National Guard, veterans of all eras, and family members.

Maunaloa Thanksgiving
MDSC News Release
We would like extend a big mahalo to the Maunaloa community for coming out to join our ohana for a Thanksgiving Luncheon held on Nov. 27 at the Maunaloa Community Center. This year, more than 150 of you decided to feast with us and enjoy each other’s company with lots of food and music. This would not be possible without the generous aloha donations towards this outreach from those who share the same vision for our community, including: Molokai Ranch Ltd., Coco Cola Co., Kumu Farms,
For swimmers and families of the Molokai chapter of the Maui Dolphins Swim Club (MDSC), here are some reminders and scheduling updates. Please make sure your/your child's registration is updated by filling out the new 2015 forms and paying the yearly $65 fee ($45 for Masters). All swimmers must be currently registered and insured with USA Swimming during MDSC swim practices. Please see your coaches and/or Jorgen or Malia at Cooke Memorial Pool to pick up the new forms and make payments. Forms can also be found online at the Maui Dolphins Swim Club website at mauidolphins.org/Home. jsp?team=himdsc under the “About” tab. For December dues we are offering
the following two options. You can swim for the whole month for the same usual fee of $50 ($25 for each additional family member). Or swim for just the first three weeks for a fee of $30 ($15 for each additional family member). This is a good option for those who will be traveling or taking a break while school is on intersession for the holidays. Please note the holiday practice schedule below: On Dec. 22,23,24,29,30 and 31, practices will be held from 6:30 to 8 a.m. On Dec. 22, 23,29 and 30, practices will be held at the usual time of 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. for those who have paid to swim for the entire month of December. For the New Year, afternoon practices will start up again as usual on Jan.5 (Monday).

"When in doubt, talk it out." Suicide is generally preventable. Sometimes we can do everything right but we can't control other people. We can just try our best to prevent suicide and helping people. Talking about suicide is the first step in preventing suicide. That was your tip of the month from S.P.A.M President Momi Afelin and Youth Coordinator Kealoha Hooper. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 1-800-273-TALK (8255), suicidepreventionlifeline.org.
