ore details on a Jan. 16 forced emergency aircraft landing in east Molokai have surfaced in a preliminary report recently released by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

According to the report, a privately owned Cessna 172 carrying a pilot and three passengers “collided with terrain” in Ualapue on Molokai’s east end around 2 p.m. that Friday. There were no casualties, although one passenger was rescued in serious condition and the other three with minor injuries.

The plane was owned by Hawaiian Night Lights, LLC. Pilot Michael Richards, a certified flight instructor, was giving a flying lesson to a Japanese citizen while her parents accompanied them in the plane. No flight plan had been filed when they took off from Ho-

A Heart for Higher Education

By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

T

hirty years ago, when Donna Haytko-Paoa began her career as Coordinator of what’s now known as the University of Hawaii’s Maui College, Molokai site, pursuing higher education on Molokai was a struggle.

In the early 80s, Molokai residents wanting to attain a college degree would scrunch into child-size seats in a classroom at Kaunakakai Elementary School.

“You would see rather large individuals sitting in Kindergarten chairs,” recalled Dan Bennett, who started at the college as a lecturer in 1982.

Ten years later, conditions were less cramped but still less than ideal.

“In 1994, as a student at the Molokai Education Center, the rain was dripping through the roof of the former Maui Electric Building onto my paper as I sat writing an exam for a [Masters in Education] program,” wrote Molokai studentturned-professor, Caryl Hitchcock, in a nomination letter for Haytko-Paoa before she was named among UH Community Colleges’ finest last November. “Classes were held in this old building as well as in local schools and even a warehouse in the center of town.”

Now, as Haytko-Paoa recently celebrated her retirement at the end of 2014, Molokai’s college campus has its own spacious buildings and much to look forward to.

“Today… through Donna’s vision and hard work, we have a beautiful campus, building, library, computer lab, state

ith a pair of wins over Seabury Hall (3-7) last weekend, the Lady Farmers (10-0) stayed undefeated, won the regular season crown and guaranteed themselves a spot at the girls’ basketball state tournament in February. “[It’s] very rewarding,” said senior forward Edel Mae Alvarez of the team’s accomplishments. “Everything—night practices, long boat rides and bus rides—was totally worth it.”

Molokai topped Seabury Hall 42-35 on Friday and 39-30 on Saturday. Lehiwa Pedro and Hepuakea Falealii brought in 10 points apiece on Friday, while Camille Ledesma and Brooke Keliihoomalu each scored 13 in Saturday’s victory.

Although Molokai plays second-place Lanai (7-3) this weekend, the Pine Lasses are three games out of first place and can’t steal the Farmers’ regular season crown in two games. However, the Lady Farmers will need to win the upcoming MIL tournament in order to earn the No. 4 seed and a much-coveted bye at states.

“We still have a lotta work in front of us, but we took some of the pressure off,” said DeRouin. “It’s tough to win on Lanai, so I’m very thankful we were able to take care of business this weekend.”

n Jan. 17, Molokai paid tribute to a man who left a legacy of equality and social justice.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was not just observed as a holiday, but as a Day of Service on Molokai, with students gathering on the Public Library grounds to remember the true meaning of the occasion.

Interval House Molokai joined with Aka`ula School and the Molokai Public Library to put on a program that included portions of Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech in more than half a dozen languages, while Aka`ula School students opened the event with “Music of the Movement,” a civil rights musical celebration. “[Dr. King] challenged us to build a more perfect union and taught us that everyone has a role to play in making America what it ought to be,” said emcee Tania Will. “MLK Day of Service is a way to transform Dr. King’s life and teachings into community actions that help solve social problems.”

Booths manned by AmeriCorps

members and Aka`ula School included the International Peace Poem Project, face painting for keiki, and art activities promoting community service and honoring Dr. King. Also highlighted were student-created posters answering the civil rights leader ’s question, “What are you doing for others?”

The posters were part of the day’s “Challenge to Serve” art contest. Winner of the Kindergarten-First Grade category was David Hanaoka-Soares, Kaia Yamashita won the second-third grade division, fourth-fifth grade category first place was Teruko Asano, and sixth-eighth grade winner was Jasmine Milsap.

Giving Tree

By Kumu Maile Naehu In early January, a special performance of The Giving Tree was offered at Kaunakakai School Cafeteria by a talented group of performers from Molokai.

This group was comprised of 12 keiki ages 5 to 12 who participated in a Winter Hana Keaka (performing arts) class with me, a mini-camp in collaboration with the Molokai Arts Center (MAC).

The Giving Tree was a rich performance that reflected a four-day class with me carefully studying the art of performance. We explored voice, movement and acting and ended in a small culminating performance.

of the art distance learning technology and more exciting developments on the way,” wrote Hitchcock.

In her 30 years of service, HaytkoPaoa made it her goal to make education more accessible to Molokai residents.

“To me, the way this island gets ahead is [through] education… if each person becomes the best that they can be,” she said.

“When we can move our island forward by educating those who live here, that’s the way to do it.”

Educational Trailblazer As the first generation in her family to attend college, Haytko-Paoa knows firsthand how much a degree can mean.

“Neither my dad nor my mom graduated high school,” she said. “My dad dropped out of school in eighth grade – they were so poor he had to go find a job.

My mom was a German national and she grew up under Hitler. She made it through her junior year before her high school was bombed.”

When Haytko-Paoa first came to Hawaii from Colorado to work as a lifeguard in Waikiki, she already had her Bachelor’s degree. Within a year, she met her future husband, Mel Paoa, and when they moved Molokai, she said she realized she wanted to go on to pursue even higher education by getting her Master’s in political science.

“I flew back and forth to UH Manoa every week for a year and a half [in 197677] just to get the Master’s,” she said. “How different it is now that people can stay in their homes and get higher degrees [and] advanced opportunities.”

Fresh out of the graduate program, she taught her first class at Maui Community College in 1977, but after that, worked for several airlines on Molokai for 10 years until the Molokai coordinator position opened in 1984.

“When she started, she did everything,” recalled Hitchcock, who is now a professor at UH Manoa. “She was the librarian, the teacher, the financial aid officer, and any other duties that were required to offer courses.”

Since the first classes had been offered on Molokai in 1970, Haytko-Paoa was only the second to hold the coordinator position – Fred Bicoy was the first.

“She was the right person for the right job, a never-ending advocate for higher education on Molokai,” said Bennett.

Vision for the Future While Haytko-Paoa can list the development of the current two-acre college campus among her accomplishments as she retires, she said what she’s most proud of hasn’t even happened yet: the vision of a 15-acre campus on paper in the college’s long-range development plan. She said that plan has remained the same “on the books” since the first Molokai Community Plan was being reviewed in 1994.

“That… 20 years later, we can still say, ‘this is what the community wants”… I’m proud [of that],” she said.

While that goal may be years away, in the meantime, the current two-acre campus will be expanding to five acres with the purchase of an adjacent three acres of land in 2012 – a development that’s been a long time coming. Two instructional buildings are planned for the expansion, one of which will house a large, multi-use theater auditorium, said Haytko-Paoa. The 500-seat space with a stage and theatrical lighting and acoustics can be used for liberal and performing arts for the college, as well as for community use – a facility that’s currently missing from the island, she said.

The state legislature has also appropriated $2.25 million toward the project. The funding has not yet been released, but she said she hopes to see the new Molokai facilities take shape in the three to four years.

That will be one of the tasks of the new Molokai coordinator. Applications for the position are being accepted, which will be reviewed by a committee of Maui and Molo-

Having reached the eastern shore, they turned back, flying a direct route to the Koko Head VOR (very high frequency omni-directional radio range).”

kai individuals. The committee will conduct interviews and make a recommendation to the Maui College chancellor’s office. Haytko-Paoa said she hopes a Molokai candidate can be the one to carry on her vision.

“Interest over here has been good… I think we have all the talent, skills and abilities [on Molokai for next coordinator],” she said.

Haytko-Paoa said she felt the timing was right for her retirement, with a strong foundation laid for the college’s future.

There is also a change in leadership at the Maui College level, with a new chancellor taking the helm. Haytko-Paoa said she feels it will offer a fresh start and good partnership with administration for the new Molokai coordinator.

“There’s a time when it’s time to turn over to the younger generation,” she said.

“Have the confidence that they’re young and energetic and have the work ethic and can get this done… and believe as much as I do in what higher education can do for someone.”

Honors Well-Earned Looking back at the last 30 years, Haytko-Paoa said she will most fondly remember the graduation ceremonies held on the island every four years – an occasion that often encompasses “grandmas, moms and kids – generational graduates,” she said.

The commencements are also a point of pride across the UH system because Molokai has the highest Native Hawaiian enrollment – close to 80 percent each semester – of any UH campus.

“Every time we have a graduation, I get choked up,” Haytko-Paoa said, getting teary just thinking of it. “We highlight the couples that graduate together, the families that graduate together, the ones who’ve passed their math after trying three times.

Every commencement is the one I’m most proud of.”

In 2008, Haytko-Paoa was honored with the University’s Willard Wilson Distinguished Service Award that recognizes one person in the UH system each year.

“Others in the system saw how hard we were all working over here on Molokai,” said Haytko-Paoa. “That was a nice affirmation that Molokai means something, that we are important.”

In November, she got another confirmation of her hard work over the last 30 years. In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of UH’s community colleges, UH recognized 50 individuals for its 50 Finest Award – a one-time honor that selected among any of the individuals, programs and services at all the community college campuses in the last 50 years – a pool of thousands.

Haytko-Paoa was named among the honorees. "’50 Finest’ award [was] given to those who have significantly contributed to the growth and innovation of the community colleges over the years,” states the UH Community Colleges website.

It was a fitting way to close her career as Molokai coordinator.

“She always seemed to enjoy herself, she always had a smile on her face and an open door for everyone,” said Bennett, who taught math at the college until 2012 and now instructs ceramics.

Now, Haytko-Paoa said she plans to enjoy her retirement, with a bucket-list that includes a ski trip in Colorado with her sister, a family Iron Man race in June, and following her Hokulea-captain husband as he continues sailing with the vessel’s Worldwide Voyage this year.

Mel, who retired from his job as a paramedic in 2013, joked that they’re working to get to know each again.

“It’s hard having to look at each other 24 hours a day,” he chuckled mischievously, admitting that he’s proud of all she’s accomplished. “All my kids are college grads – that’s from their mother’s side!”

Always an educator at heart, HaytkoPaoa also plans to still teach part-time at the college as a political science professor.

“That’s the fun part!” she laughed. “I can still connect with students and stay involved – that’s pure satisfaction.”

descend, and as they approached a ridgeline the airplane encountered downdrafts,” continues the report.

In the valley with no escape route, the report says, Richards decided to land the plane in some trees, causing “substantial damage to the fuselage and both wings.”

Maui Fire Department personnel airlifted the four from the crash site to a landing zone at Pu`u O Hoku Ranch. The student’s mother was taken by Medevac to Maui Memorial Hospital in serious condition. Richards, the student and her father were transported to Molokai General Hospital for treatment for minor injuries.

The names of the passengers have yet to be released.

The report added that the information is still preliminary and “may contain errors.”

Molokai Metric 100K Ride Kualapu`u School News Release

Cultural Values programs.) Each registrant donated $100 to the school and in return received a fantastic, safe ride with pre- and post-event celebrations.

Many riders remarked about how polite Molokai drivers were during their ride. Kualapu`u School would like to thank all of you Molokai drivers who gave our riders room to enjoy Molokai’s wide-open roadways and pristine scenery. Thank you for watching out for Molokai Metric bicyclists this past weekend.

Kualapu`u School would also like to extend a special thank you to the following organizations and individuals who helped put on this inaugural event: MHS HOSA Club, Hotel Molokai, Molokai Community Health Center, Molokai Bicycle, Michael Drew, Andrea Trenner, Phillip Kikukawa, Ted Kanemitsu, Ken Bare, Cheryl Pritchard, Mike Curtis, Sierra Vanderkamp, Christie Lambert, Diane Abraham, Lisa Omalsa, Rochelle Borden, Fiona Benjamin, Loke Han, Tim Trainer, Michi Holley and Julie Schonely.

Kualapu`u School hosted Molokai’s first-ever 100K bike ride on Jan. 18. Twenty-four riders completed either the half- or full-length distance course that extended from Hotel Molokai to Morris Point and back, then looped around Kualapu`u and Airport Loop, to finish back at the Hotel. Two on-island bike riders participated, Will Carlson and Lydia Trinidad; one former Molokai resident returned for the ride, Amanda Han; and the rest of the bicyclists came from off-island.

The first two riders to complete the noncompetitive course were Jeffrey Ling and Bill Leach in just under three hours 10 minutes. The largest bicycling support group to participate was the Red Hot Ladies Cycling group, a Hawaii Bicycling League affiliate, led by Patricia Johnson, also of Oahu. The youngest rider to finish the 62+ mile course was 12-year-old Nicholas Glazier of Oahu.

The Molokai Metric ride was organized as a fundraiser for Kualapu`u School’s Pu`olu (PE and Hawaiian

Three Molokai boys had secondplace finishes: Caele Manley (113), Rayden DeKneef (152 B) and Jordan Boswell (170). Kailaoe Cabanting, who won the 117-pound division in the Farmers’ first meet on Jan. 17, took second on Saturday, as did Sierra Pico (122).

“We’re still adjusting and fine tuning,” said Manley of his relatively young team. “… Against the competition’s freshmen and first-year wrestlers, our kids are doing very well.”

The team’s next meet is on Saturday on Maui.

DeRouin Named Official Athletic Director

By Colleen Uechi | Staff Writer

T

he athletic director (AD)’s office is now Lee DeRouin’s to keep. After four months of serving as interim athletic director for Molokai High School (MHS), DeRouin was recently named the official AD. He stepped in temporarily in August after former AD Hoku Haliniak left to accept a position as Director of Sports Information for the Hawaii High School Athletic Association. DeRouin was one of five candidates being considered for the AD job, according to Daniel Espaniola, who was on the selection committee.

“He’s new to the job but he has tremendous potential for growth in the position and making good things happen for the school,” said Espaniola, who works for the Department of Education as an Educator Effectiveness System Educational Officer.

DeRouin has nearly 20 years of experience coaching in Hawaii. He formerly coached the Molokai boys’ basketball team and has been the MHS girls’ basketball coach for the past three years. Maui News named him the Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) Division II Coach of the Year in two of those seasons. He’s also taught biology, physiology and environmental science at the high school.

When he stepped in for Haliniak in August, DeRouin said the Molokai position is “probably the most challenging AD in the state.”

“All athletic director jobs are challeng-

3

ing, however … being isolated from the other schools in the MIL requires us to plan travel that is unique to many other schools, not only in Hawaii but nationally,” he explained.

The athletic department basically “operates like a small college,” with lodging and transportation to arrange for most away games, as well as for opponents that need to stay on Molokai for weekend games, he said.

One of DeRouin’s goals as AD is finding an athletic trainer for the high school after the former trainer left last year. He also hopes to establish the judo program this spring and help the school host more MIL tournaments. This season, the school hosted the girls’ volleyball championships and will host the boys’ basketball tournament next month. Athletics funding is also a big focus for DeRouin.

“I hope to work with our legislature to find a way to better support Molokai High Athletics financially to narrow the gap between our allotment and actual cost of athletics travel,” he said.

Espaniola, who used to teach social studies at MHS, said DeRouin knows how to connect with students as both a coach and a teacher.

“His strength was really forming and bonding relationships with students,” said Espaniola. “… He cares a lot about the school and the students.”

Paddling in the Hunt

By Colleen Uechi | Staff Writer

M

olokai’s girls’ paddling crew came in third out of six teams at the MIL’s fourth regatta of the season. The Lady Farmers finished in four minutes, 33.05 seconds at Kahului Harbor last Saturday, their best time of the season thus far.

The MIL’s final race takes place next Saturday at Kahului Harbor. League officials will average each school’s top three scores and send the best two teams to states.

Seabury Hall’s girls’ crew has already secured a place at the Feb. 7 state championship, and Molokai is in the running for the second spot. In three regattas, the Lady

Farmers have come in second, third and fourth. Their biggest competitors for the remaining state seed are King Kekaulike High School, which has two second-place finishes, and Kamehameha-Maui, which has two third-place finishes and a secondplace finish.

Coach Stefanie Hubbard said all she could ask of the girls was that they “come out and put their best foot forward” in the final races.

“They are learning to work together more, and considering it’s still a newer crew they have developed a closer bond,” said Hubbard after Molokai’s second regatta.

New Swimmers Debut

By Colleen Uechi | Staff Writer

I

n back-to-back MIL swim meets last weekend, the girls’ team finished sixth. Oceana Madani had fifth place finishes in both the 200-meter individual medley (three minutes, 1.82 seconds) and the 100-meter butterfly (1:22.38).

On Saturday, Michelle McGuire and Genevieve Kikukawa also took fifth in their categories, McGuire in the 100-meter breaststroke (1:24.89) and Kikukawa in the 100-meter backstroke (1:16.79).

As a team, the girls improved their time in the 200-meter medley relay. After finishing sixth in the event on Jan. 17, the team finished third on Friday (2:14.03), a five-second improvement from the previous meet.

“Every meet is an improvement, especially when they’re close together,” said

Head Coach Jess Ford.

A short-handed boys’ team came in eighth overall on Friday. In individual competition, Michaiah Soares came in fifth in the 200-meter freestyle (2:20.69), while Tanner Mosher finished seventh (1:20.09) in the 100-meter breaststroke. On Saturday, Mosher improved to sixth (1:22.36) in the same category, while Michaiah Soares took seventh in both the 50-meter (25.34) and 100-meter freestyle (58.66).

Ford said first-time competing swimmers Kaiea Dowling and Marianna Campos also got a chance to experience MIL competition.

“We have a few kids racing for the first time in the season this past weekend,” she said. “[Now] everybody’s been in the water.”

Boys Basketball Maintains Winning Record

By Rick Schonely | Community Reporter

O

n Senior Night at The Barn last Friday, the St. Anthony Trojans defeated the Molokai Farmers boys basketball, 66-58. The Trojans were led by Michael Fernandez with 23 points. Kekaha Souza added 14 points, and Colby Tam had 13. The Farmers were led by Kaimana Kahale and Moses Espaniola, who had 11 points each.

Thomas Tamanaha, Tanielu Aikala-Falealii, Kyson Castor-Wallace and EdelMarc Alvarez each had seven points.

“We made a lot of mistakes, had some missed assignments and missed a lot of easy baskets, but as a whole I commend them for sticking it out,” said Head Coach Carl Adolpho.

Adolpho also commented on seniors Aikala-Falealii, Castor-Wallace and Kaprice Hooper-Carvalho.

“Each of them has their own unique way of leading,” he said. “During certain times in practices, in games, or on the road they complement each other in the way they lead.”

On Saturday, the Farmers improved to 3-1 on the season by beating the Trojans 52-40. Molokai was led by Kaimana Kahale with 11 points. Tanielu AikalaFalealii added 10 points and Kyson Castor-Wallace had nine. The Trojans were led by Michael Fernandez with 17 points. Kekaha Souza and Micah Van Alstine had eight points each. St. Anthony is 1-1 on the season.

“The team was fired up after the loss last night,” Assistant Coach Manu Adolpho said of Friday’s game. “They knew what they did wrong and what they had to improve on, so they were ready to prove themselves and show that they were the better team today.”

The Farmers hit the road for games at Seabury and Lanai before coming home to host the MIL D-II Boys’ Basketball Tournament from Feb. 18-21.

Manu Adolpho said the Farmers face some “tough games” against the Spartans and the Pine Lads, but the team is looking forward to having home court advantage during the tournament.

The Molokai Dispatch • Jan 28, 2015 •

Controlled Fire Planned for Kalama`ula Maui Fire Department News Release Between Feb. 2 and Feb. 7, Maui County Fire Department will employ prescribed, or controlled, fire in the Kalama`ula area. This multi-agency effort will be an exercise to satisfy national requirements to be certified as a Type 3 Incident Management Team, provide live fire training to personnel and remove hazardous levels of overgrown plant material.

During these dates, controlled fires may take place between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. The live training will be conducted north of the old Kalama`ula area and west of the Kalama`ula Mauka subdivi-

sion. The burn area will consist of 60 acres total, broken down into separate blocks to be burned each day of the exercise. It will be conducted by Maui County Fire Department and Department of Public Works, in consult with the Hawaii Department of Health, Maui Police Department and Department of Hawaiian Homelands.

This prescribed, or controlled, fire is necessary to develop skills, knowledge and abilities required to use as a suppression tactic during wildland fire incidents. This tactic will enable firefighters to mitigate wildland fires more efficiently and effectively. The Maui Incident Management Team will also

COMMUNITY CALENDAR

WEEKLY EVENTS

utilize these training exercises to satisfy national requirements to be certified as a Type 3 Incident Management Team. Type 1 Incident Team members will be assisting during this event.

Prescribed fire greatly reduces the potential for wildfire. It will remove the hazardous level of fuel on the property. The longer vegetation accumulates, the more destructive an eventual fire will be, burning hotter, traveling faster and having unpredictable results.

Wildfires cause vast economic damage and lead to major inconveniences for the public.

The Maui County Department of Fire and Public Safety would like to ensure the

6

public that all foreseeable hazards have been addressed and contingency plans have been developed. Firefighters and public safety is our number one priority as we begin this live fire training. Although weather conditions, including relative humidity and wind direction, are taken into consideration, nearby residents should expect temporary smoke in any prescribed fire activity. Also, drivers shuld pay extra attention while traveling through or adjacent to the burn areas.

For more information, please contact Captain Eddie Taomoto at 808-270-5542 or 808-283-3736, or by email at Edward.Taomoto@co.maui.hi.us.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do you have an entourage or posse that helps you work magic you can't conjure up alone?

Is there a group of co-conspirators that prods you to be brave and farseeing? If not, try to whip one up. And if you do have an inspirational crew, brainstorm about some new adventures for all of you to embark on. Scheme and dream about the smart risks and educational thrills you could attempt together. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you especially need the sparkle and rumble that a feisty band of allies can incite.

likely to be undermined by nice, polite people than raw, rowdy folks. I'm not advising you to avoid the do-gooders and sweet faces. Just be careful that their naivete doesn't cause problems.

And in the meantime, check out what the raw, rowdy folks are up to.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Life has a big, tough assignment for you. Let's hope you're up for the challenge. There's not much wiggle room, I'm afraid. Here it is: You must agree to experience more joy and pleasure. The quest for delight and enchantment has to rise to the top of your priority list. To be mildly entertained isn't enough. To be satisfied with lukewarm arousal is forbidden. It's your sacred duty to overflow with sweet fulfillment and interesting bliss. Find ways to make it happen!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The cosmos seems to be granting you a license to be brazenly ambitious. I'm not sure how long this boost will last, so I suggest you capitalize on it while it's surging. What achievement have you always felt insufficiently prepared or powerful to accomplish? What person or club or game have you considered to be out of your league?

What issue have you feared was beyond your understanding?

Rethink your assumptions. At least one of those "impossibilities" may be more possible than usual.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may have never sampled the southeast Asian fruit called durian. It's controversial. Some people regard it as the "king of fruits," and describe its taste as sweet and delicious. Naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace said it was like "a rich custard highly flavored with almonds." But other people find the durian unlikable, comparing its aroma to turpentine or decaying onions. TV chef Anthony Bourdain asserts that its "indescribable" taste is "something you will either love or despise." I foresee the possibility that your imminent future will have metaphorical resemblances to the durian, GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When I attended the Univer- Scorpio. My advice?

It's prime time for you to celebrate a sages for your specific audience. Third, reflect on the someCuriosity Festival. times surprising revelations that emerge from you. They'll give you new insights into yourself.

To get that much gold, miners had to desert heat, across torrents, through narrow passes. But will excavate and move six tons of rock. Then they doused the rock he know where to find you, recognize you when he sees you, with poisonous cyanide, a chemical that's necessary to extract give you the thing he has for you?" This passage might not be the good stuff. In the process, they created toxic waste. Is the literally true, Cancerian. There may be no special person who is gold ring worth that much trouble? While you ponder that, let headed your way from a great distance, driven by a rapt inten- me ask you a different question. What if I told you that over the tion to offer you a blessing.

Heighten you would have to process the equivalent of six tons of raw your receptivity. Have a nice long talk with yourself, explaining material to get it, you wouldn't have to use poison or make a why you deserve such beneficence. mess. Would you do it?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1768, Britain's Royal Society commissioned navigator James Cook to lead a long naval voyage west to Tahiti, where he and his team were supposed to study the planet Venus as it made a rare transit across the face of the sun. But it turned out that task was a prelude. Once the transit was done, Cook opened the sealed orders he had been given before leaving England. They revealed a second, bigger assignment, kept secret until then: to reconnoiter the rumored continent that lay west of Tahiti. In the coming months, he became the first European to visit the east coast of Australia. I foresee a comparable progression for you, Leo. The task you've been working on lately has been a prelude. Soon you'll receive your "sealed orders" for the next leg of your journey.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to computer security company Symantec, you're not in major danger of contracting an online virus from a porn website. The risk is much greater when you visit religious websites. Why? They're often built by inexperienced programmers, and as a result are more susceptible to hackers' attacks. In the coming weeks, Virgo, there may be a similar principle at work in your life. I suspect you're more

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1899, the King of the African nation of Swaziland died while dancing. His only son, Sobhuza, was soon crowned as his successor, despite being just four months old. It took a while for the new King to carry out his duties with aplomb, and he needed major guidance from his grandmother and uncle. Eventually he showed great aptitude for the job, though, and ruled until his death at age 83. I'm getting a Sobhuza-type vibe as I meditate on you, Aquarius. New power may come to you before you're fully ready to wield it. But I have confidence you will grow into it, especially if you're not shy about seeking help.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the 1951 animated movie version of Alice in Wonderland, Alice says to herself, "I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it." I hope you won't be like her, Pisces. It's an excellent time for you to heed your own good advice. In fact, I suspect that doing so will be crucial to your ability to make smart decisions and solve a knotty problem. This is one of those turning points when you really have to practice what you preach. You've got to walk your talk.

Molokai Fitness: Makahiki Time!

By Ayda Ersoy Makahiki is the ancient Hawaiian festival in honor of the god Lono. I love the Makahiki season – nowadays, it means fun games, seeing everyone, watching the kids’ happy faces. And food!

We definitely need to support everyone who cooks all the food for the festival. Mahalo!

Here are some tips for the Makahiki, or any time you go out to a party or a meal, on how you can still eat healthily and at the same time have fun.

First, make sure you eat well before you go, so you’re not so hungry.

When you get there, everything looks and smells delicious; there’s food all around you and everyone else is eating.

It’s cheap, tasty and convenient. But it’s also loaded with calories, sodium and fat -- often enough in one meal for an entire day! If you eat well at home before you go, you won’t feel too hungry, so you can still enjoy the food but you won’t overeat.

Keep your eye on the portion size, too. For example, one serving of rice is one-half cup -- that’s about the size of a tennis ball. One serving of beef or chicken is three ounces, or about the size of the palm of your hand. Stay away from the extra large portions!

Try to pay attention to how the food

Molokai HOSA News Release Molokai High School’s Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) Club helped stage Kualapu`u School’s inaugural Molokai Metric event last weekend by providing trained First Aid/CPR responders at each of the six aid stations on the 100-K course. Aid stations extended east from Hotel Molokai to Morris Point and back, then west to Kualapu`u, Airport Loop, and return -- a total of 62 miles of road.

Luke Kikukawa served as the HOSA Club volunteer recruiter and trainer. After using a GoFundMe.com account to finance his own CPR/ First Aid Trainer Certification on Oahu, Luke returned to Molokai to provide CPR/First Aid training to the

and they went out and they did it and I didn’t help them at all. … That was my favorite part,” he said.

So far, they’ve repaired 22 bikes.

Next month, they hope to organize on a bike ride from the Center to One Alii Park, where they’ll have games and give away bikes to any kids who want them.

After school, it’s first come first serve for the bikes. Mikaelynn Asuncion, 10, said she likes “spending time with my friends and cooling off” on bike rides. Some kids borrow the bikes for trips to the store, the park and occasionally home. On Saturdays, they gather in the park for races. The kids have picked up on the feeling of freedom that Ritte said he enjoys about

is cooked; deep fried, pan fried, batter dipped, breaded, creamy or crispy are usually high in calories, unhealthy fats and sodium. And don’t be afraid to ask for a special, healthier order; for example, you can ask for no added sauce or dressing, or just ask to serve it on the side so you can add a little yourself. If you ask for something that they don’t have now, then maybe they can get it for next time!

Be aware of the sides that can quickly add calories, like fries, chips, rice, noodles, coleslaw, and macaroni. Better choices are side salads with a light dressing, baked potato (easy on the toppings), fresh fruit cups, corn on the cob or apple slices.

Watch what you drink -- water is the best option. Soda is a huge source of hidden calories and so high in sugar -- the average large soda packs around 300 calories. If you drink diet soda, then it’s just filled with artificial sweeteners (aspartame). After you drink, you will be hungry sooner than you think. Smoothies are so high in sugar too, some have almost 120 grams of sugar (our bodies need 24 to 36 g per day). Make sure you drink water throughout the meal. This will help you eat less.

Pay attention to what you are eating and drinking. You don’t have anywhere else to live, so take care of your body and your body will thank you for it. Enjoy the Makahiki Festival!

following current and former HOSA club members: Rainbow Kee, Oceana Madani, Sabrina Curtis, Kahale Ramos, Grayson Aldridge, Tanner Mosher, Geisha Nunez and Misty Parker. These students then volunteered to spend five hours each on Sunday, Jan. 18 to insure the safety of the more than 30 riders registered in the bike ride event.

Kualapu`u School would like to thank these young adults for their support in staging Molokai’s first-ever century ride.

Seasoned riders in the event remarked that the aid stations were the best that they had ever seen. The enthusiasm and professionalism of the HOSA work force was noted.

Thank you MHS HOSA students for all of your hard work!

riding.

“You can pedal instead of running,” said 9-year-old Kaililauokekoa Asuncion. “Sometimes when you pedal fast you can let go and just ride.”

The Molokai Youth Center is open six days a week and offers multiple cultural, physical and educational programs for kids from ages eight to 17.

Ritte said anywhere from 30 to 100 kids can pass through the center on a typical day.

“They get really excited. It’s something to look forward to,” said Youth Specialist Nue Apiki. “They have so much energy. Using it to ride bikes helps [use that energy].”

To learn how you can donate a bike, contact the Center at 553-3675 or myc@molokai.org.

Next month, they hope to organize on a bike ride from the Center to One Alii Park, where they’ll have games and give away bikes to any kids who want them.

Kilohana Student Art on Display If you were present at the 2014 Annual Kilohana School Christmas Program, you were able to watch the delightful performance presented by our students. Under the direction of Aunty Maggie, their dance teacher, students acquired new dance moves, while their classroom teachers spent hours, fine-tuning their singing skills during song practice. Awesome results can be achieved when combined with practice, displayed during the show. No wonder Santa (who was not Mr. Stevens), never forgets to make his traditional appearance every year. He does not want to miss an incredible show!

One tradition that changed was in the design department of the background, and other holiday decorations displayed throughout the center that night. While Santa’s other elves were busy with other preparations, two special elves were busy creating original holiday artwork for our special night.

Two fifth graders, Dianthe Kaili, whose artwork graced the background, and Divine Brown-Davis, whose Christmas Village mural added more holiday sparkle, deserve special recognition. With the guid-

ance of Mrs. Brake, our two special elves allowed us to change tradition, and gave the other elves a break.

Dianthe’s older brother and sister are also talented artists, and they continue to produce many works of art. When Dianthe was in the Kindergarten, she drew pictures and allowed me to decorate our many bulletin boards with them. Her artwork was very impressive, and I was envious that a child as young as she was could possess such skills.

Divine is not only an artist, but she is also an enthusiastic gardener. She never hesitates to provide help in the garden during school hours, afterschool hours, and sometimes on the weekend. Also, Divine never fails to put her best effort in everything she undertakes.

Thank you Divine and Dianthe, for making the world more beautiful with your artwork, and being shining examples of what a GLO student exemplifies.

Seeking CBFSA Exemption Anybody listening to us people, who’s part of this lovely island of Molokai, we asked the organizers of the Community Based Subsistence Fishing Area (CBFSA) to exempt those who signed a petition from all their rules and regulations. A lot of us who disagree with the CBFSA are true living heirs of this island for generations after generations. Yes, we are still here, and we say to keep the peace on Molokai with all nationalities on our island (all nationalities included on my petition).

Exempt us like we say, and educate.

We have good rules and regulations from the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR). Enforce more DLNR officials to do their job before this CBFSA causes more animosity on our island.

Those in charge of the CBFSA, please have some consideration and write a letter to each and every one on my petition saying we are exempted, and generations

after us also. Then you can move forward with the CBFSA. May God bless all of you involved in this CBFSA to do what is right for our people on Molokai. I would like to thank all my supporters on our island and also the ones who don’t live here. A copy of this letter has been sent to state, government and whoever wants to know.

For all those out there who believe in keeping “Molokai, Molokai,” in support of your help, I ask for donations so I can educate, make copies of documents and do a lot more to help our island people to be aware of what’s going on here. Much mahalo and God bless.

Please send donations to: Harrie-Ann Nakagawa or Gavin Pelekane Tamashiro at P.O. Box 401, Kaunakakai, HI, 96748, with your return address.

Students Earn GIS Certificate UHMCM News Release University of Hawaii Maui College, Molokai (UHMCM) is proud to announce that in the Fall 2014 semester, four of our Agriculture students successfully earned a certificate in Geographic Information System (GIS) in Ecosystem Management. These students are Kristen Coelho, Patricia Pali, Kawaila Purdy and Tyson Pactol.

To earn this certificate, students must pass the Introduction to GIS as well as GIS in Ecosystem Manage-

ment. Both classes required the students to collect an intense amount of localized geographic data through a computerized software and use the data for in-depth analysis, planning and mapping.

GIS is a useful skill in today’s world and frequently used in many careers.

“I want to continue on the path of GIS,” said Purdy.

Job well done to these students!

Bottles for Change Campaign HoloHI News Release A Hawaii educator plans to run and bike 750 miles around Hawaii in 31 days to launch school-based conservation initiative called Bottles for Change that challenges keiki to help reduce Hawaii’s plastic footprint.

A new study estimates that there are more than 250,000 tons of plastic floating in oceans around the world, destroying marine habitat and contaminating our water and food supply. Lindy Shapiro, founder of the nonprofit Bodhi Education Project on Maui, plans to take an unprecedented, coastal expedition around the Hawaiian Islands named holoHI (the Hawaiian word “holo” means to run or ride on) – kicked off before sunrise on Jan. 18 in Hilo, Hawaii, followed by Lanai, Molokai, Oahu and Kauai, and wrapping up with a celebration scheduled for Feb. 17 in Paia, Maui.

Shapiro’s itinerary calls for her to visit Molokai Jan. 29-31, where she will bike or run 60 miles total from Molokai Ranch to Halawa.

Throughout holoHI, Shapiro will be visiting local schools to connect and launch a unique, student- led conservation project – Bottles for Change (B4C).

“Bottles for Change will be making school and community presentations to increase awareness regarding the impact of plastics on our land and ocean environments, and to encourage youth participation in the Bottles

for Change Challenge,” said Shapiro.

“My hope is that holoHI will inspire others to support this vitally important work.”

Here’s how the Challenge works.

Participating students begin by finding an empty plastic bottle that has been abandoned or is headed for the landfill. This first bottle becomes the student’s “Bottle for Change.” Every time they, or someone they know, chooses NOT to buy a plastic bottled beverage and uses an environmentally friendly alternative, they put the money saved into their “Change Fund.” Once their bottle holds “$20 for Change,” they hand it in at a designated bottle drop (school office, teacher representative, community partner) to receive their B4C reusable water bottle and t-shirt, and to be entered into a raffle for great prizes.

In addition to their Change Funds, participating students receive "bottle points" for the raffle every time they volunteer at a Hawaii Wildlife Fund or other B4C beach cleanup event, or complete a project from the B4C website. Schools that complete the Bottles for Change Challenge will receive free environmental educational outreach programming, supplemental materials and will be recognized on the B4C website.

To learn more about Bottles for Change, visit bottlesforchange.org.
