hen night fell last Saturday, Kaunakakai came alive. Residents welcomed in the holidays with a dazzling array of lights and entertainment in the island’s A n n u a l Christmas Light Parade
and Ho`olaule`a. “We just do this for the community, for the kids,” said Kelvin Keanini, who marched with the Frozen-themed float created by members of the Latter-day Saints Church.“… Everybody stepped up their production with the floats.” According to organizers, 25 groups participated in the parade. County Mayor Alan Arakawa traveled from Maui to serve as the grand marshal. The glittering floats included a Hawaiian style “12 Days of Christmas” display, a gingerbread house, light-adorned boats and Santa Claus. Later, the ho`olaule`a featured moonlit hula performances, food and local merchandise. Cameron Hiro, event planner for the Molokai Island Foundation (MIF), said the MIF resurrected the event in 2008, when many people lost jobs after Molokai Ranch shut down. The parade
helped restore hope and unity that year. This year’s event was another chance “for the community to come together,” said Hiro, something he felt was especially meaningful this year. “When we have an event like this, it really puts into perspective what’s really important,” he said. “A spirit of aloha and unity.”

lthough the weather is turning colder, the Molokai winter sport athletes are just getting warmed up. With the Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) winter season approaching, Molokai High’s teams are training to compete in basketball, paddling, swimming and wrestling. In a two-part series, the Dispatch takes a look at these teams as they prepare to make their mark in the MIL.

This season, the boys’ and girls’ teams have 19 wrestlers apiece. The girls’ roster is rife with experience, with 11 returning wrestlers, while the boys’ team welcomes a relatively young squad that includes seven returning wrestlers and six freshmen. “The number of returning girls makes us strong ‘cause we’ve got some experience to work with,” said Coach Randy Manley, who added that this year’s squad is the biggest girls’ team he’s ever seen from the school. Last season, the girls placed second in the MIL and eighth out of nearly 50 schools at the state championships. This year, they’ll contend for the school’s first ever MIL team title in girls’ wrestling. The coach mentioned that some key wrestlers to watch for are junior Esther Torres-Umi, who has a history of success that includes last season’s 123-pound MIL title, and senior Lahela Corpuz, who Manley said has the potential to qualify for a place at states. For the boys, Manley has a different game plan in mind. “Because we’re young, it’ll be a year, two years before we see any significant impact,” he said. “… Primarily, we wanna see just steady improvement throughout this year.” Manley hopes the upperclassmen will help guide his young team to finish within the top four in the MIL. Last season, the Farmers finished third in the MIL championships, with then-junior Iokepa Albino claiming the 222-pound title. Manley believes Albino “should be dominant” again this season, along with teammate Kui Han, who finished second in the 287-pound class at the MILs. According to the current schedule, the Farmers will have to travel to Maui for all of their meets. “Trying to come up with the finances for all those meets is gonna be our biggest challenge,” Manley said. Both teams will compete in 14 different weight classes, with their first regular season match at King Kekaulike High School on Jan. 17.

While the boys sent six swimmers to states last season, Ford said it’s been nearly a decade since a Molokai girls’ team qualified for states, and she wants to bring a level of competition to this year’s squad that will change that. “That’s my goal, push them out of their comfort zone a lot, and get them to do things they didn’t know they could do,” said Ford. “It can be tricky, but I think they’re game for it.” Ford said this year’s team is “pretty well rounded” in terms of both strokes and distances. Four swimmers return from last season, among them captains Sabrina Curtis, the team’s “distance girl,” and Oceana Madani, whose specialty is the butterfly, according to her coach. As for the boys, Ford said they’re requesting painful workouts, knowing

they have to be in top form to compete at the state levels. “I’ve been really impressed with their attentiveness to their strokes,” said Ford of this season’s boys’ team. “They do extra push-ups in practice. The captains are getting everybody else to jump on board … to take it to the next level.” This season’s team is small, but Ford said “the talent is there.” She’s already noticed the promise in her two new swimmers, and the four returnees, led by captains Tanner Mosher and Luke Kikukawa, anchor the squad with their energy and “goal oriented” mindset. She said her swimmers’ strengths lie in the shorter events, such as the 50-yard freestyle, the 100 freestyle and the 100 butterfly. Unlike in other sports, swim teams don’t accumulate a record over the season, Ford explained. Every meet offers a new chance to qualify for states. All of the teams’ meets will be away on Maui, with their first one scheduled for Dec. 13 at the Kihei Aquatic Center.

The Mo`omomi Community Based Subsistence Fishing Area (CBSFA) would extend from Ilio Point on the northwestern tip of Molokai, east to Kaholaiki Bay, near Pelekunu Valley. As it is currently written, the CBSFA would follow the contours of the coastline and extend out one half mile. The Kawa`aloa Bay Protected Area is a subzone with the CBSFA, with a subset of rules specific to it. The rules are modeled after a similar designation recently passed in Ha`ena on Kauai. Ha`ena was the first community in Hawaii to have its traditional fisheries management rules approved by the state Board of Land and Natural Resources. Supporters called it a historic victory, which came after more than seven years of development. Following Ha`ena’s lead, last month, Molokai’s local fishermen, community members and state conservation officials gathered to discuss a draft of the CBSFA rules. Still in the early stages of discussion, state planners say there are several more steps before the first official public hearing. Last month’s meeting was an informal opportunity for the Molokai community to offer initial feedback. And while the process has gained energy following Ha`ena’s success, the idea is nothing new for Molokai. Initial CBSFA legislation originated on this island more than 20 years ago, according to Malia Akutagawa, UH assistant professor of law from Molokai. The Governor’s Molokai Subsistence Task Force was convened in 1993 to conduct a study on the importance of subsistence living. “The findings from that study were significant,” said Akutagawa. “Twenty-eight percent of the average Molokai family’s diet comes from subsistence foods gathered, grown, caught and hunted. For Native Hawaiian Molokai families, that figure is even higher, a diet consisting of 38 percent of subsistence foods.” During 1993 Task Force meetings, many Ho`olehua Homesteaders pushed for greater protection for Molokai’s north shore areas, which led to the state passing legislature for a procedure to create CBFSAs and fisheries management rules based on the needs of each community, according to Akutagawa. She said that legislature, carried out the by the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), designated Molokai’s Mo`omomi and Kawa`aloa bays as a pilot project. While the DLNR allowed the program to sunset after the two-year pilot, having never established a rules package, Akutagawa said the momentum was carried forward by Molokai’s own master lawai`a (fisherman) and leader, Mac Poepoe, and Hui Malama O Mo`omomi, the organization established to help care take the area.

With Ha`ena as precedent, the Molokai community is moving forward with draft rules for the CBSFA, and with the help of DLNR staff and others, met to gather initial feedback. The rules as currently drafted stipulate that the taking of specified marine life is for subsistence purposes only, only between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., with additional rules re-

garding certain species and the times of year and methods by which they may be gathered. The only species allowed to be taken for commercial sale is akule and ta`ape, according to the draft rules. The document also establishes penalties for violating the rules. To read the complete document, visit themolokaidisaptch.com. DLNR planner Emma Anders, who attended the Molokai meeting and offered suggestions from a state perspective, encouraged residents to add whatever regulations they feel are appropriate to the draft, because the legislation is a long process and while everything the community wants might not be passed, she said this is the opportunity to try. “Everything in this rule, we take it to the [DLNR] chair, advocate for it, and take it up the chain. If it's something you want, put it in,” she said. “One important thing to know in this process, the chair has to sign off on it before even going to public hearing.” Akutagawa’s law students attended the meeting as facilitators and helped assemble community feedback on the draft. The plan received support, as well as suggestions. Comments included the possibility of extending the CBSFA boundary from one half mile to one mile out from the shore, creating a special fund from fines that could be used toward management and research, and the need for more enforcement. Kupuna Opu`ulani Albino said she favors extending the boundary because many fishermen find certain species outside the reef and expanding to one mile would protect that area too, she said. The issue of enforcement – always a challenge on Molokai – was discussed at length. “We talked about enforcement to make sure people know what their kuleana in enforcement is,” said attendee Walter Ritte. “I don't think the state will enforce this, it's going to have to be us.” Anders said community enforcement training programs were stopped in the past because of liability issues with civilian enforcement, though she said training that includes taking hands-off approaches like taking photographic evidence and violation reporting is a good possibility. David Sakoda, a DLNR Marine Law Fellow, said the DLNR’s Community Fisheries Enforcement Unit has been successful on Maui, and depending on funding, it is hoped that the program could be expanded to other parts of the state. DLNR Aquatic Biologist Russell Sparks also suggested that enforcement on Molokai could be a joint effort, including neighboring organizations like Kalaupapa’s National Park Service.
Next Steps Anders said with the initial feedback received, DLNR staff will adjust the draft and send it back to Molokai organizers for review. If they give it the green light, Anders will discuss the plan with the DLNR chairperson, as well as the enforcement division. “They usually have questions and comments, and if so, I'll come back to you to help me answer that,” she told attendees. “There will probably be a little more massaging that has to happen before we send it to the attorney general.” In the meantime, there will be lots more opportunity for community feedback in the lengthy process, which will include public hearings.

you want to stash a treasure or protect a secret or safeguard a resource. That's probably a sensible thing to do right now. But make sure you remember every detail about why and how you're doing it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Even if you are not formally enrolled in a course of study or a training program, you are nevertheless being schooled. Maybe you're not fully conscious of what you have been learning. Maybe your teachers are disguised or unwitting. But I assure you that the universe has been dropping some intense new knowledge on you. The coming week will be an excellent time to become more conscious of the lessons you have been absorbing. If you have intuitions about where this educational drama should go next, be proactive about making that happen.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Lord Byron (1788-1824) was an English poet who loved animals. In the course of his life, he not only had dogs and cats as pets, but also monkeys, horses, peacocks, geese, a crocodile, a falcon, a crane, and a parrot. When he enrolled in Trinity College at age 17, he was upset that the school's rules forbade students from having pet dogs, which meant he couldn't bring his adored Newfoundland dog Boatswain. There was no regulation, however, against having a tame bear as a pet. So Byron got one and named it Bruin. I think it's time for you to find a workaround like that, SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You now have a special ability to detect transformations that are happening below the Aries. Be cunning.
