Why I fly with Makani Kai...

Addie says she’s been impressed with Makani Kai Air ever since she made her first call for a reservation, “There was no fuss or bother, no trouble finding me a seat. It was simple.” She also appreciates the friendly staff, “Everyone here smiles, everybody is friendly…even the pilots. And you can’t beat the convenience.”

JULY

Fishing as a Family More than half a dozen families gathered at Mo`omomi for four days of camping, pono fishing and inspiring `ohana to malama `aina. `Ohana Lawai`a camp offered lessons in history, culture and biology, through traditional resource manager and educator Mac Poepoe and other kupuna. Families brought at least two generations of attendees.

Participant Sunni Chow, 13, said they visited remains of historic fishing homesteads, hiked to Kawa`aloa -- the largest green sea turtle nesting site in Hawaii, picked and cleaned limu, and listened to mo`olelo of Mo`omomi from Aunty Opu`ulani Albino. Youth also learned about native birds and how to cut and scale fish.

“To teach kids pono fishing... [it’s] simple but hard to do,” said Poepoe.

“That’s my satisfaction – seeing kid doing right... that’s enough.”

As part of the challenge, you “call out” friends on social media to do the same, and they must follow suit within 24 hours. If you chose not to complete the challenge, you’re asked to give $100 instead.

The challenge was so popular on Molokai that by July 4th weekend, many stores had run out of ice. Many on Molokai also took the opportunity to contribute to the Molokai Cancer Fund.

Molokai’s Miss Rodeo Hawaii

Dispatch Awarded The Molokai Dispatch earned top honors in the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Hawaii Chapter Excellence in Journalism contest. The Dispatch’s five awards came from content published in 2013.

Editor Catherine Cluett received first place in the non-daily newspaper general reporting category and a finalist award in feature writing. Graphic designer Laura Pilz was awarded finalist in page design. Finalist awards also went to former reporting intern Jessica Ahles for community reporting and former graphic design intern Vincent Meadows for his informational graphic.

The Molokai Dispatch, a weekly newspaper with a distribution of 3,800, will celebrate its 30th year in print in 2015.

Molokai’s Cheyanne Kauionalani Duvauchelle Keliihoomalu was named Miss Hawaii Rodeo and asked to represent Hawaii and the paniolo heritage at the Miss Rodeo America Pageant in Las Vegas in December. She made history as the pageant’s first contestant from Molokai.

As a sixth generation paniolo whose family worked for Molokai Ranch, Keliihoomalu said her mother and her aunt were the first women paniolo in her family. Following in their footsteps, she never thought it would bring her this opportunity.

Keliihoomalu said she worked on presenting herself before a national audience. She learned a book of rules for a written test, brushed up on her horsemanship, prepared for quizzes from judges and acquired an extensive wardrobe for the pageant.

Event organizer Lu Faborito said they had to raise $5,000 for the trip.

At the national competition, she was named Miss Congeniality.

AUGUST

Paddlers at World Sprints

Seven Molokai paddlers represented Team Hawaii at the World Sprints in Brazil from Aug. 12-17. Paddlers Penny Martin, Camie Kimball, Crystal Egusa, Donna Paoa, Janice Kalanihuia, Lou Ann Reyes and Daphne Socher competed on several different crews and came home with 10 medals between them.

“To know that not only are you standing [on the podium] for Hawaii Nei but also for our Molokai Nui a Hina is a great feeling,” said Martin.

Martin and Kimball raced with the Island Masters A team, winning four gold and two silver medals. Egusa paddled with the Island Masters B crew, earning two bronze medals.

Paoa formed a crew of Masters women paddlers that included four Molokai women. The crew paddled as Wa`akapaemua and won a gold and a bronze.

Hawaii Life Flight (HLF), an air ambulance service, has been offering emergency air medical transport on Molokai since 2006, and this year the company made the island one of its bases. That means faster service for Molokai residents in need.

With the nearest bases on Oahu and Maui, the response time for HLF crew to arrive on Molokai for a call used to be between 45 minutes and an hour and a half, said flight nurse and Molokai base manager Josh Schroeder.

Now, that time averages 15 minutes.

“Every minute helps... We’re still doing the best we can to save as many lives as possible,” he said.

The new base means that one of the company’s aircraft, two pilots and two medical staff are on-island and on-call 24/7. If the plane is currently taking a patient off-island, they have back-up coverage from Maui or Oahu.

Granting Success When she was in eighth grade, Molokai High junior Momi Afelin wrote her first grant for robotics education. Fast forward three years and she has five successful grants under her belt, with the most recent awarded to the Kaunakakai Elementary robotics program.

Afelin presented a grant check for $1,000 from the Air Force Communication and Electronic Association (AFCEA) for the school’s fifth grade robotics program. To date, Afelin has written three single-authored grants from AFCEA and co-authored two grants with her mom, Kaunakakai special education teacher Meg Fox. “Money should never be a barrier for you and there are unlimited funds out there,” Afelin said.

Eye on the Algae

When Tropical Storm Iselle struck the Puna district of Hawaii Island, Molokai responded to the devastation by sharing the aloha. Kawika Crivello and Lori-Lei Rawlins-Crivello of Rawlins’ Chevron gas station organized the Aloha Puna Chevron Gas Card Drive to kokua Puna.

“That could have been us,” Crivello said. “Even though the ocean separates us, we’re connected. We saw families in need of help.”

From Aug. 15 to Aug. 19, Molokai residents could purchase $10 gas gift cards to donate to Puna families. The gas went towards powering generators, chainsaws and propane tanks for Puna residents. It also filled tanks for families to drive and pick up supplies.

By the end of the drive, $5,000 was raised and about 400 Puna families benefited from the gas cards.

While fishing along Molokai’s south shore, fisherman Clay Ching noticed masses of thick seaweed covering hundreds of square yards. The algae invasion concerned Ching so much that he notified the Department of Land and Natural Resource (DLNR)’s Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR). “[I don’t want] this situation to progress to the point of no return for our precious reef ecosystem,” said Ching.

Gorilla ogo, the type of limu he spotted, is dense and highly invasive, choking out coral and other seaweeds.

In Hawaii it’s only found on Molokai and Oahu. A few years ago, the DLNR removed about 29 tons of Molokai’s invasive seaweed, much of it gorilla ogo.

When DAR Aquatic Biologist Russell Sparks came to investigate, they only found remnants of the gorilla ogo Ching had seen. However, Sparks encouraged that type of documentation.

“Meaningful control is going to have to come from community,” he said.

A Look into Kalaupapa Life

When many people think of Kalaupapa, images of suffering and disfigurement come to mind – stories from history books that tell a horrific tale. A photo exhibit that opened on Sept. 27 at the Molokai Museum and Cultural Center seeks to depict the people of Kalaupapa in a new light.

“So much of [Kalaupapa’s] history is … sensationalized and just not true,” said Valerie Monson, coordinator for Ka `Ohana O Kalaupapa, the organization sponsoring the exhibit.

“We hope people will come away with a completely different image.”

The collection of photographs represents daily life in the settlement.

Many photos depict Kalaupapa residents showing off their artistic skills or inventive solutions, such as a spoon designed to wrap around the wrist to accommodate those who lost fingers from Hansen’s disease.

The gallery has made a tour of the Hawaiian Islands and is on Molokai until August 2015.

About one hundred volunteers removed nearly 7,000 pounds of plastic shards, rope, nets, bottles, wrappers and other trash from Mo`omomi Beach during Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii’s (SCH) beach clean-up. The day began with debris collecting, followed by sorting. Attendees enjoyed live music, food, games and prizes. All trash was taken to Oahu to be recycled and turned into products like skate boards, soap bottles and yarn.

Molokai High School senior Kamiki Agliam got SCH involved for her senior project on beach cleanups. Next year Agliam is planning another cleanup on Molokai's east end. She’s also working to form a group that will host several cleanups throughout the year.

The event, attended by more than 2,000 people, was held the weekend of Na Wahine O Ke Kai. It was an opportunity to share Molokai’s aloha spirit with the worldwide paddling community, and come together as a community. While the festival is a tradition that hasn’t been carried on in recent years, organizers wanted to return to the spirit of the celebration, said event coordinator Lori-Lei Rawlins-Crivello.

Organized by Molokai Canoe Festivals Committee, the ho`olaule`a also paid tribute to the Molokai crewmembers on the Hokule`a Voyage.

Before the 62nd Molokai Hoe on Oct. 12, Bozo Dudoit, coach and steersman of Molokai’s Wa`akapaemua Canoe Club open men's crew, laid out two main objectives for his team.

“My goal is to be in the top ten 10 of the local finishers and top 20 overall,” said Dudoit, a 24-year veteran of the event.

Wa`akapaemua, the host island’s only team in the race, check-marked both goals. In a field of 102 teams from all over the world, Molokai’s crew finished 14th overall in five hours, 37 minutes and three seconds. Among local teams, Molokai finished ninth. The crew bested the 16th place and sixhour, two-minute time of their 2012 Molokai Hoe appearance.

Molokai’s crew 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.

Molokai Finishes Strong in Kaiwi Channel

Few residents expect to stand in long lines on Molokai, but Oct. 10 was an exception. Shoppers began forming lines at 6 a.m. in front of the Kaunakakai’s new Jeans Warehouse, and by late evening, the line was still going.

Nearly 70 people stood outside when the Hawaii-based juniors fashion outlet officially opened.

While not the first retail chain store to arrive on Molokai, Jeans Warehouse is one of very few on the island.

The store offers clothing, shoes and accessories for juniors, men, women and keiki and has 29 locations throughout Oahu, Maui, Kauai, Hawaii Island and Guam.

The store brought 12 new jobs to the island.

Molokai Crewmembers Join Hokule`a Three Molokai residents departed on a journey to follow the path of their ancestors across oceans.

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 Aotearoa (New Zealand).

“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.

The three were part of the journey that returned Hokule`a to Aotearoa for the first time since 1985.

The three-year Worldwide Voyage, sharing a message of Malama Honua, will cover 47,000 nautical miles, 85 ports, 26 nations, including 12 of UNESCO’s Marine World Heritage sites, through June 2017.

Molokai has one of the smallest populations in the state, but that population is home to two of Hawaii’s best public elementary schools, according to a state-wide school performance program.

Based on scores from the 2013-14 school year, Maunaloa and Kilohana ranked within the top five percent of Hawaii public schools in the DOE’s Strive HI program, which reviews school performance through the four categories of achievement, student growth, readiness and gap rates. The Department of Education (DOE) recognized both schools with two $15,000 checks.

“You know kids love to learn, and if you’re willing to let ‘em go, the motivation’s already there,” said Kilohana principal Richard Stevens.

According to Stevens and Maunaloa principal Joe Yamamoto, both schools will be cashing the checks toward student curriculum, technology and other materials. Thirteen other schools throughout Hawaii were selected to receive checks.

General Election Results

Voters put down their signs and picked up their pens on Nov. 4, as months of campaigning came to a head on Election Day. “When anything happens [in the future], I can grumble, ‘cause I voted,” joked Molokai High security guard Maurice Lindsey.

In Maui County, voters reelected Mayor Alan Arakawa and all nine County Council incumbents, including Molokai representative Stacy Helm Crivello.

The moratorium on GMOs was approved by a mere two percent, though on Molokai the overall consensus was ‘no’ by a margin of 28 percent.

In the governor ’s race, Democrat David Ige and running mate Shan Tsutsui secured victory over Republicans Duke Aiona and Elwin Ahu. Democrat Brian Schatz won the senate race, while in the U.S. Representative race, incumbent Democrats Tulsi Gabbard and Mark Takai claimed victory.

Moratorium Passes, Put on One Molokai educator was rec- Hold

A highly disputed voter initiative to ban the growing of genetically engineered crops passed in Maui County in the Nov. 4 General Election by a narrow margin of 50 percent to 48 percent.

On Molokai, 63 percent voted against the moratorium, while 34 percent favored it.

The initiative calls for a moratorium until an environmental impact study on genetically engineered organisms has been completed and reviewed by the County Council.

Barely a week after the vote, Monsanto and other parties filed a lawsuit against the County of Maui, challenging the moratorium. Federal Judge Barry Kurren granted Monsanto and other plaintiffs in the suit a temporary injunction, preventing the County from carrying out the GE ordinance.

“She tries to look for ways to make education meaningful for students within their culture,” said Bonk.

That has included service learning projects funded through Kuoha’s own pocket such as taking her students to pick up litter at Mo`omomi.

Made in Maui County Festival

The owners of 12 Molokai businesses attended the first-ever Made in Maui County Festival, which showcased locally made products from more than 130 vendors.

“Everyone wants product from Molokai but it’s hard for Molokai to get their product off-island,” explained Jennifer Hawkins, small business advocate at Molokai’s Kuha`o Business Center.

Kanemitsu Bakery’s booth was sold out by 2 p.m., and other Molokai vendors 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, said she secured four wholesale accounts. Patty McCartney of Pualani O Molokai highlighted her vanilla bean products. She said she made some wholesale connections at the show and filled orders two weeks later.

Organizers said the Maui County version was so successful that they’re already planning for a repeat next year.

Kupu A`e “Kupuna inspired, wahine desired.” The goal of weaving cultural heritage into art is reflected in the motto of the new business that local artist Kala`e Tangonan shares with her younger sister Leimana Ritte-Camara and friend Miki`ala Pescaia. Kupu A`e Molokai, LLC, opened at Holomua Junction and touts clothing and accessories with local flair.

“Every art piece, every design, is things that we’re connected to somehow,” said Ritte-Camara.

Ritte-Camara said she and Tangonan have been making and selling creations out of Tangonan’s garage for nearly a decade. Pescaia suggested that they turn her pastime into a serious business.

Now, they envision their studio, which is connected to the main shop, as a place where people can create art or seek help creating it. They’re also considering offering a monthly membership to allow members to come to the shop and do art whenever they choose.

DECEMBER Running the Rainbow Covered in powdery colors of the rainbow, more than 300 participants of all ages laughed their way through the fi ve-kilometer Turkey Rainbow Run/ Walk at Kualapu`u School last Saturday morning. Participants of the firstever 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.”

The event was a collaboration between Kualapu`u School, Molokai Middle School and Na Pu`uwai, and Registered Nurse Ty McComas said they’re already planning to include Kaunakakai School next year to “make it even bigger.”

to an alarming surprise, 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.”

Richard Westlund, president of the Molokai Molokai Association (WMA) homeowners group said residents should report gunshots more often.

Westlund said the WMA is not against hunting, but is concerned for the safety of residents living in the area.

Farmers Football Finishes Second in MIL Mo`omomi SubsIstance Fishing Area Community members are joining with state officials to develop a designation for Molokai’s north shoreline to protect marine resources. The Mo`omomi Community Based Subsistence Fishing Area (CBSFA) would regulate overfishing from Ilio Point on the northwestern tip of Molokai and preserve resources for future generations.

A similar designation was recently passed in the Ha`ena community on Kauai, and supporters called it a historic step toward sustainable fishing management.

The Molokai community is moving forward with draft rules for the CBSFA. They stipulate that the taking of specified marine life is for subsistence purposes only, with specific regulations for gathering certain species.

The document also establishes penalties for violating rules.

“We talked about enforcement to make sure people know … their kuleana,” said resident Walter Ritte. “I don’t think the state will enforce this, it’s going to have to be us.”

12 Days Adrift What began as a routine fishing trip to Lanai on Thanksgiving Day turned into a 12-day battle of survival for Molokai’s Ron Ingraham. While his friends planned his funeral and authorities gave up the search, Ingraham lived off fish he caught, bailed all night while 20-foot waves crashed over his boat, and finally “jerry-rigged” his water-sodden radio for one final signal for help that led to his rescue and a reunion with his estranged son.

Bad weather took Ingraham out to sea on Nov. 26, and he survived on fish he caught. On Dec. 10, he and his boat arrived back at Kaunakakai Harbor after being found by the Navy.

The night he got rescued, he talked to son Zakary on the phone. The two had lost touch for more than 20 years.

“It was a beautiful thing,” said Ingraham. “Through this, we found each other.”

Air Riflery Earns First Boys’ Title

Molokai High air riflery coaches Daniel Imakyure and Chinky Hubbard came to the same conclusion. Both men, with extensive firearms backgrounds, peered through the sights of their students’ air rifles, took the 33Bullet Shot Through Home foot shot at miniscule paper targets A west Molokai couple woke up and came away surprised.

“It’s not that easy,” said Hubbard, the Molokai girls’ coach.

This season, however, MHS student marksmen made it look deceptively simple. The boys’ team took first in every meet and won the Maui Interscholastic League championship to give the school its first boys’ title in the sport. Meanwhile, the girls’ individual shooters consistently finished in the top 20 and sent individual shooter Hi`ilani Kanuha to the state championships.

Along with Kanuha, boys shooters Cody Nip, Michael Corpuz, Joshaviah Cabreros and Jershon Ka`alekahi all qualified for states. The boys came in fifth out of seven teams, while Kanuha finished 50th out of 60 shooters.

In the Maui Interscholastic League (MIL)’s inaugural eight-player football championship, the Farmers brought it all: pinpoint passing, a lethal running game, a hard-charging defense. In the end, however, the Spartans’ record stayed perfect, as Seabury beat Molokai 44-34 to be crowned MIL champions. The Farmers finished the season at 4-2.

“I couldn’t have asked for better effort,” said Molokai head coach Mike Kahale. “How can I be disappointed?

I’m disappointed in the score but not disappointed in them as a team.”

In the MIL’s third season of eightplayer football, the Farmers did not disappoint as one of the league’s top teams. For the third season in a row, they finished in second place with a winning record. This season the league expanded from four to six teams and added playoffs and a championship game.

and Kaina Adolpho qualified for the state championships, where Ross had the highest finish among Molokai runners in 67th place.

Molokai’s boys’ runners had multiple top 10 finishes in Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) meets. Molokai’s girls didn’t have enough runners for a team but notched a few top third individual finishes throughout the season.

Girls’ Volleyball Hosts FirstEver Championships

For three nights in October, Molokai High became the epicenter of Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) volleyball, as all six Division II teams gathered in The Barn for the first ever MIL Volleyball Championships on Molokai. The tournament also coincided with the 25year anniversary of the airplane crash that took the lives of several Molokai volleyball players and coaches flying home from the 1989 MILs on Maui.

The tragedy is well known within Molokai’s tightly knit volleyball circle, but in 2014, it’s a story that many of Molokai’s teenage athletes don’t know.

That’s why girls’ volleyball coach Mahea Rawlins brought surviving volleyball coach Billy Dudoit and surviving players Solene Duvauchelle and Priscila Maliu to The Barn one afternoon before practice.

“I think it was a real honor to have [the championship] here this year,” said senior Rebecka Adolpho. “On the 25th anniversary of that plane crash, to be able to represent our school, represent all the people here, it was just a great, great honor for us.”

Although Molokai lost in the second round, they closed out the season in third place with a 6-4 record. Seabury was crowned MIL champion.

Rapanot Player of the Year (Maui News) David Rapanot’s nickname of “Tuff” was earned before he was a year old. Rapanot was born with pneumonia — forcing him to spend the first two weeks of his life in a neonatal intensive care unit. At six and nine months of age he had to be flown to Oahu due to severe asthma attacks.

“His two older brothers, along with my husband Scott and I used to always whisper in his ears that he has to be ‘TUFF’ and come back home to us,” his mother, Kim, wrote in an email.

Rapanot now stands 5-foot-11, weighs 175 pounds and excels at most any sport he tries. After a senior year at Molokai High during which he gained Maui Interscholastic League first-team All-Star recognition in football and basketball, and was the MIL D-II Player of the Year in baseball, Rapanot was named The Maui News MIL Boy Athlete of the Year.

Athletic Dept. Changes

Near the end of the season, interim cross country coach Manu Adolpho said that the Molokai boys’ goal was “becoming the MIL champions as a team.” Mission accomplished.

At the Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) Championships, Molokai’s boys’ team finished first amongst Division II squads and took this season’s title.

“This could’ve been their final race, so everybody ran hard and gave it their all,” said Adolpho.

Three Molokai High School (MHS) athletic department staff members announced their departure in August.

Athletic Director (AD) Hoku Haliniak accepted a position with the Hawaii High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) as its Director of Sports Information. The assistant athletic director and the athletic trainer also stepped down for personal reasons.

Lee DeRouin, MHS science teacher and girls basketball coach, was named the temporary AD. DeRouin has been coaching in Hawaii since 1996, with about 15 of those years on Molokai.

Haliniak said hiring a permanent AD can take “three months to three years.” The job must first be posted within the Hawaii Department of Education, and she said if no local school officials apply, anyone in the nation with the proper qualifications can.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Most salamanders reproduce by laying eggs, but the alpine salamander doesn't. Females of that species give birth to live young after long pregnancies that may last three years. What does this have to do with you?

Well, I expect you to experience a metaphorical pregnancy in the coming months. Even if you're male, you will be gestating a project or creation or inspiration. And it's important that you don't let your the incubation period drag on and on and on, as the alpine salamanders do. I suggest you give birth no later than July.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Maybe you have had a dream like this: You're wandering around a house you live in, and at the end of a long hallway you come to a door you've never seen before. How could you have missed it in the past? It must have been there the whole time. You turn the knob, open the door, and slip inside. Amazing! The room is full of interesting things that excite your imagination. What's more, on the opposite wall there's another door that leads to further rooms. In fact, you realize there's an additional section of the house you have never known about or explored. Whether or not you have had a dream like that, Taurus, I'm betting that in 2015, you will experience a symbolically similar series of events in your waking life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The Greek god Zeus had seven wives. Themis, Leto, Eurynome, and Hera were among them.

Another was his older sister Demeter, and a sixth was his aunt Mnemosyne. Then there was the sea nymph Metis. Unfortunately, he ate Metis -- literally devoured her -- which effectively ended their marriage. In 2015, Gemini, I encourage you to avoid Zeus's jumbled, complicated approach to love and intimacy. Favor quality over quantity. Deepen your focus rather than expanding your options. Most importantly, make sure your romantic adventures never lead to you feeling fragmented or divided against yourself. This is the year you learn more than ever before about what it's like for all the different parts of you to be united.

The Molokai DispaTch • Dec 31, 2014 •

during the coming months, Virgo. An influence you believed to have disappeared from your life will resurface. Should you welcome and embrace it? Here's what I think: Only if you're interested in its potential role in your future, not because of a nostalgic attachment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "Nothing brings people closer than business," said composer Arnold Schoenberg. You could be living proof of that hypothesis in 2015, Libra. Your drive to engage in profitable activities will be at a peak, and so will your knack for making good decisions about profitable activities. If you cash in on these potentials, your social life will flourish. Your web of connections will expand and deepen.

You will generate high levels of camaraderie by collaborating with allies on productive projects.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Deathwatch beetles have a peculiar approach to the mating game. Their seduction technique consists of smacking their heads against a hard object over and over again. This generates a tapping sound that is apparently sexy to potential partners. I discourage you from similar behaviors as you seek the kind of love you want in 2015. The first rule of romantic engagement is this: Sacrificing or diminishing yourself may seem to work in the short run, but it can't possibly lead to lasting good. If you want to stir up the best results, treat yourself with tenderness and respect.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Dieterich Buxtehude (1637-1707) was a German composer whose organ music is still played today. He was a major influence on a far more famous German composer, Johann Sebastian Bach (16851750). When Bach was a young man, he decided it was crucial for him to experience Buxtehude's music first-hand.

He took a leave of absence from his job and walked over 250 miles to the town where Buxtehude lived. There he received the guidance and inspiration he sought. In 2015, Sagittarius, I'd love to see you summon Bach's determination as you go in quest of the teaching you want and need.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Even in normal times, you are a fount of regeneration. Your ever-growing hair and fingernails are visible signs of your nonstop renewal. A lot of other action happens without your conscious awareness.

For example, your tastebuds replace themselves every two weeks. You produce 200 billion red blood cells and 10 billion white blood cells every day. Every month the epidermis of your skin is completely replaced, and every 12 months your lungs are composed of a fresh set of cells. In 2015, you will continue to revitalize yourself in all these ways, but will also undergo a comparable regeneration of your mind and soul.

Here's my prediction: This will be a year of renaissance, rejuvenation, and reinvention.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Here are three of my top wishes for you in 2015: You will have a clear, precise sense of what's yours and what's not yours . . . of what's possible to accomplish and what's impossible . . . of what will be a good influence on you and what won't be. To help ensure that these wishes come true, refer regularly to the following advice from Cancerian author Elizabeth Gilbert: "You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. That's a power you can cultivate. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): "Sometimes I can feel my If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control." living," says a character in Jonathan Safran Foer's novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. If you have ever felt that LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Author Robert Moss has published way, Aquarius, I predict that you will get some relief in 2015.

27 books. When he talks about the art of launching and com- Your bones won't be straining as much as they have in the pleting big projects, I listen attentively. There's one piece of past because you will be living at least one of the lives you advice he offers that would be particularly helpful for you to have wanted to live but haven't been able to before. How you keep in mind throughout the first half of 2015. "If we wait will handle all the new lightness that will be available? until we are fully prepared in order to do something, we may never get it done," he says. "It's important to do things be- PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): "Erotomania" is a word for fore we think we are ready." Can you handle that, Leo?
