Council Passes Ferry Resolution

Molokai Weighs In On NextEra Merger

hile the Maui County Council has yet to decide exactly what type of assistance to extend to Molokai’s floundering ferry system, councilmembers are nearly unanimous in their support of the ferry’s operations.

At their April 7 meeting, councilmembers passed a resolution urging Mayor Alan Arakawa to seek a subsidy for the ferry, which the Lahaina Cruise Company (LCC) reports has lost both riders and funds over the past year.

Councilmember Stacy Crivello introduced the resolution, which asked the mayor to propose an amendment to the fiscal year 2015 budget to appropriate $500,000 to the ferry. The money would come from the county’s Economic Development Revolving Fund (EDRF), which, according to the resolution, currently has an estimated balance of $1 million.

“All this resolution is asking at this time is for our mayor to please take a look at … what can be available from the economic revolving fund,” said Crivello during the meeting. “The final decision really comes from the mayor if he wishes to submit some sort of amendment.”

During the meeting, residents offered testimony remotely from Molokai or submitted letters in support of the ferry and the resolution. The ferry, they said, supports tourism, education and jobs.

Philip Kikukawa, owner of Molokai Bicycle, wrote that the Molokai Princess’s daily routes encourages ecotourism by allowing visitors longer bike rental options. Kathy Flynn wrote that students, sports teams and other residents and organizations “would be negatively impacted” if the ferry were to shut down.

“Loss of ferry service to our island will result in loss of jobs to Molokai residents at a time when our economy is extremely frail,” she said in her letter of support.

Multiple councilmembers also expressed their support for the ferry.

However, while Councilmember Don Guzman echoed these sentiments, he felt that the council wasn’t yet in a position to vote on the resolution.

When bills are introduced at council meetings, they’re usually referred to a committee, said Maui County Council Communication Director Kit Zulueta.

“I don’t think as a council we’ve received all the information needed to thoroughly and freely debate this issue at council level,” said Guzman. “… I do understand the situation with constituents to travel back and forth.

I just need more information to make that informed decision.”

However, Guzman’s motion to send the resolution to a committee first was voted down. Since the resolution had “no force and effect of law,” the council determined it was within the

epresentatives of NextEra, the Florida-based energy company proposing a merger with Hawaiian Electric, visited Molokai last week with plans to hold an open house to meet residents and answer questions. Concerned community members, however, had other plans.

Standing in a circle amid NextEra’s large, colorful posters and blue-shirted staff, local attendees requested a meeting format in which all their answers could be answered at once and heard by all.

“We want to know what is going on, as a group – that’s Molokai style,” said local activist Walter Ritte.

NextEra officials, joined by Maui Electric representatives, obliged. With no seating planned for the open house format, everyone stood for the next three hours and discussed the merger and its implications for Hawaii’s energy future.

Many residents wondered how the company could help Molokai’s energy challenges and current limitations on rooftop solar through Maui Electric’s Net Energy Metering program. The is-

land has the highest percentage of rooftop solar anywhere in the nation, boasting 51 percent compared to peak energy demand.

“You guys are truly ground zero for distributed generation penetration [rooftop solar],” said NextEra Hawaii President Eric Gleason. “We don’t have the silver bullet for [Molokai’s energy challenges]… I’m not going to tell you we can wave the magic wand but we can bring some additional tools to the table.”

He said being a large company, however, they can buy equipment and supplies more cheaply, and with a higher credit rating than Hawaiian Electric, they can access capital at lower rates, thus helping Hawaiian Electric lower their operating costs.

‘Think Small’ The proposed $4.3 million merger process began in December, said Steve Stengel, NextEra Energy Resources director of communications.

“We’re in month four since we announced the transaction,” said Stengel,

ngoing efforts to protect Mauna Kea’s peak, considered sacred

by Native Hawaiians, from an 18-story tall structure called Thirty Meter Telescope, has gone international, with Molokai residents joining in the protests and social media buzz.

Pictured above, local community members rallied along Maunaloa Highway last week, holding signs and raising awareness.

Mauna Kea’s peak is viewed as one of the most sacred sites in Hawaii, and Molo-

kai activist Walter Ritte is leading efforts to protect it from a 14th telescope.

“There’s certain places where you just cannot compromise anymore. There’s just too much that’s been lost in the Hawaiian community. So I think this is gonna be one of those positions where the Hawaiians are gonna come out and demand that they protect this sacred mountain. And I think we’re gonna win,” Ritte told KHON2.

Called the world’s largest telescope, Thirty Meter Telescope would be con-

his month, Kelley Dudoit officially stepped in as Coordinator of the University of Hawaii’s Maui College, Molokai site (UHMCM).

And while new to the job, the Molokai High graduate and sevenyear UHMCM employee is no stranger to the community she serves.

“Kelley is the best of both worlds, both Molokai and UH,” said former coordinator Donna Haytko-Paoa, who retired at the end of last year. “She’s about staying on the island and taking the long haul.”

After Haytko-Paoa retired last year, Dudoit applied for the coordinator position, and she underwent an interview with a screening committee before being chosen. Her first day of work was April 1.

Dudoit, who previously held the position of Institutional Support at the college, said her career in education has been an unexpected path that she grew to love.

“If anybody ever asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up, I would never have envisioned that this would be my future,” said Dudoit. “… Once I started [at the college] I immediately loved it.

It serves a good purpose for the community. It’s just a great fit and I may be here for the rest of my life.”

Dudoit was born and raised on the island, and after graduating from Molokai High School in 2001, she went on to receive her Bachelor’s in business management from Chaminade University in 2004.

She said she always knew that she wanted to come home to Molokai, and after two years at a marketing company on Oahu,

Support for Independent Electricity IAM News Release I Aloha Molokai (IAM) applauds and heartily supports Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa’s decision to explore the creation of an independent electric utility for the islands of Maui County.

As we understand it, the Mayor’s proposal would involve purchasing MECO and creating either public utilities or co-ops similar to KIUC on Kauai. IAM would be happy to assist with this effort in any way we can.

IAM has followed the melodramatic negotiations between the HECO companies and Florida-based energy giant NextEra with increasing concern. We share the Mayor’s skepticism as to just exactly how

this buy-out would benefit Hawaii ratepayers. Our state has struggled for decades to get the HECO companies to upgrade obsolete equipment, lower our outrageously high utility bills, and develop a plausible business plan for converting to renewable energy. It is hard to see how a much larger and more powerful monopoly, with no roots in the local community, will produce better results or be any easier to control.

Common sense suggests that we are unlikely to reach the goal of energy independence and sustainability by increasing our dependence on powerful outside interests. IAM agrees with the Mayor that the best energy solutions for Maui County will be those we create for ourselves.

NEXTERA Continued From pg. 1 in an interview prior the meeting, adding that because the company is still in the early stages of the merger, a lot of communication still needs to take place in order to understand the priorities and needs of customers.

Officials came ready to discuss the big numbers.

“We’ve committed to saving of a total of $60 million [across the state] in the first three years,” said Gleason. “We’re in the process of becoming more specific about that.”

But Molokai residents wanted to hear specifics, urging the multi-billion-dollar company -- known for larger-scale renewable energy projects -- to “think small.”

“I think you need to do your homework in terms of each of the islands are different,” said Cheryl Corbiell, a member of the local energy advocacy group I Aloha Molokai. “You’re not going to have a blanket solution for Oahu, Maui, Big Island and here -- we’re different…. Big is not better on this island.”

Matt Yamashita, an independent solar sales representative, agreed, explaining that Molokai has been looking at what it means to be sustainable in many areas, including in terms of food, economy and energy.

“I think as a community, we’ve all come to see very clearly that sustainability is about being on that local, small community scale,” he said. “So when you look at energy sustainability and that energy is the highest cost of living for us on this island, the answer is not to go bigger and corporate and to deal with someone that’s based in another state. The answer is to go local and smaller. That’s why distributed, rooftop solar makes sense for us.”

Gleason admitted that there’s a lot the company still has to learn, and emphasized that’s what this process is for. He also explained that as a merger, NextEra is committed to Maui Electric’s proposed plan for the coming years, which representatives brought to Molokai residents last month.

Sharon Suzuki, president of Maui Electric, said that plan includes a smart grid program, a switch to 50 percent Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in 2018, conversion to biofuel for the other half of the island’s diesel generators in 2023, and increasing solar photovoltaic energy installed on Molokai.

Suzuki said those plans are not set in stone, and still subject to change and feedback.

“We didn’t come here with all the answers,” said Gleason. “We didn’t come here with, ‘here’s our plan for Molokai, and here’s what the price is going to be.’”

He was specific that while NextEra’s goal is to hold Hawaiian Electric’s operating costs flat, the company is making no promises to keep electric rates flat. Gleason said the main goal is to reduce Hawaii’s dependence on oil, which accounts for about 50 percent of customers’ electric bills, and is also a major factor in rate increases reflective of the cost of fuel.

“I can’t promise you your rates won’t go up,” he said. “Because right now, if oil prices go up, your rates will probably go up.”

I Aloha Molokai member Larry Tool urged the company to get specific.

“All I can see is, we’re giving up our independence [to be under a large company]; what are we getting? It’s too early to tell. And that doesn’t sound like a good deal,” he said.

Questioning the Costs Many attendees wondered why NextEra wanted to come to Hawaii.

“We’re a renewable energy company,” said Gleason. “And we look at Hawaii as a place that’s blessed with renewable energy resources and paying the highest bills in the country. There is an opportunity to replace oil with renewable energy and save money.

So for a clean energy company’s that’s exciting…. We are big believers that renewable energy and cleaner energy can come at a benefit to customers in terms of costs.”

Gleason said the company has nine million customers in Florida, and residential ratepayers pay 9.7 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity – 25 cents below the national average.

“I am not promising you the rates in Molokai will go to 9.7 cents,” he said.

“What I am saying is we have a track record of focusing on costs, driving costs down.”

But while Molokai has the second highest electricity rate in the nation at 46 cents per kWh, residents made clear that cost isn’t all that matters to them.

Many attendees shared their concerns about LNG, a fuel they feel is neither renewable nor environmentally friendly.

“The cost of producing that liquid is left on the local community that it’s being taken from, with polluted water, air quality,

the works,” said one attendee. “To me it’s a no-brainer on this island that that LNG is not going to help us in the long run.”

Other residents echoed the concern that even if the environmental consequences are not in their backyard, it’s still reason to reconsider.

“In full disclosure, we are the largest purchaser of natural gas in the utility industry in the United States,” said Gleason.

“Most of our customers… are more than satisfied with the service they’re getting.

[But] in Florida, people aren’t as worried about it. We get that the priorities here are different, we get that there are concerns about LNG.” He stressed that the merger “is not about LNG” and that Maui Electric’s plan to reduce customers’ costs “not essential” to include LNG. “There’s so much consciousness about doing the right thing… and challenging us,” said Gleason. “I love that.”

Gleason also touched on Molokai’s concern about an interisland, undersea cable.

“We have never been part of any effort to develop a Big Wind project or a cable to Lanai or Molokai,” he said. “We don’t actually think that’s a good idea… because it’s very clear that the community is not supportive.”

He said the company would therefore not consider such a project for Molokai, but that they are looking at the possibility of a cable between Maui and Oahu, though that would only move forward if the Public Utilities Commission deemed it in the public interest.

Looking at Other Angles Yamashita pointed out Florida’s low rate of rooftop solar – a statistic that some link to an apparent NextEra policy against distributed photovoltaic.

However, Gleason said such a policy doesn’t exist. Instead, because of Florida’s low electric rates, there is no incentive for customers to install rooftop solar. “[As a customer], paying a lot of money for electricity is not a problem I have,” he explained. “So from my perspective, rooftop solar industry is offering me a solution to a problem I don’t have.”

Kanoho Helm, president of I Aloha Molokai, offered strong support for those employed locally by the solar industry.

“Whatever job they have left on this island, we need to take care of those people, because we don’t have many jobs left…

I’d like to express my support to them,” he said.

Helm added that I Aloha Molokai supports the idea of an electric co-op formed by resident shareholders for Molokai, a proposal that was recently put forward by Maui County Mayor Alan Arakawa, following in Kauai’s footsteps.

“It’s going to be a long and hard road in the path moving forward to create a coop for this island, going to have to work together,” said Helm. “Go sign up to kokua, because if we want energy independence, we’re going to have to do it ourselves.”

Meanwhile, Ritte urged NextEra officials to educate themselves on Hawaii’s history and the legal ramifications of the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, pointing to the recent Department of the Interior hearing held to discuss sovereignty.

“You should have your lawyer realize that because of the history and the place you’re in, you need to understand what [the situation is],” said Ritte. “What you have is a very shaky situation… what are the liabilities that you guys are going to be carrying? … I’m going to be filing papers… and trying to get your guys in court… because of all those liability issues.”

Moving forward, much of the timeline is at the hands of the Public Utilities Commission, said Gould. With nearly 30 organizations and groups accepted by the PUC as interveners to add input to the merger case, as well as PUC public hearings that remain to be scheduled, there’s a lot that’s still up in the air.

“We’re hoping we can complete it within a year of when we began the transaction, which was in December,” said Gould. “The process… will be dictated by the PUC and their schedule.”

In the meantime, residents can submit their testimony to the PUC anytime or learn more about the merger process by visiting puc.hawaii.gov and searching docket number 2015-0022.

NextEra staff will continue a schedule of open houses on all the islands. While Molokai residents left the meeting with questions still left to be answered, NextEra officials felt it was a productive event.

“We walked away with a great appreciation for the issue of energy but more importantly for the entire island,” said Gould afterwards, adding that he thought representatives got a strong sense of Molokai’s priorities, values and concerns. “I also felt a mutual respect for our efforts.”

Keeping an Eye Out for Keiki

Volleyball Celebrate Lone Senior

A

s Child Abuse Prevention Month began at the Molokai Public Library last week, groups of kids wandered around the lawn with shiny blue pinwheels, chatting and smiling with friends and family. For organizers of the event, it was the kind of childhood they hoped to promote for all island keiki.

About 50 community members gathered at the library to plant pinwheels and flags to raise awareness and promote prevention of child abuse and neglect.

“It’s always fun to be a child,” said Anella Saito-Takabayashi, who works with Catholic Charities Hawaii and the Ho`oikaika Partnership, a coalition of 40 child abuse prevention agencies in Maui County. “[The pinwheels] remind us of children, of fun, about what their lives should be. They should be allowed to be children without having any violence in the home.”

This year marked the eighth year of pinwheel planting in Hawaii, though Saito said the tradition only started in Maui County two years ago.

At the Capitol Building lawn on Oahu, more than 5,000 pinwheels were planted this year.

At Molokai’s event, representatives from the police department came to plant pinwheels and read the mayor’s proclamation designating April as Child Abuse Prevention Month.

According to the proclamation, “once every minute, a child somewhere in America is abused physically, sexually or emotionally.”

Andrea “Titi” Hernandez, office manager for Child and Family Services, said that “the more people know, the better [off] we are on the island.”

“Just by being educated, spreading the world about the effects of it,” said Hernandez of ways people can help prevent abuse and neglect.

“Just being maka`ala. Everybody just gotta look out for each other, and I think that’s how we’re gonna help the situation.”

The event capped off with a free family concert with Honolulu-based

children’s band Uncle Wayne and the Howling Dog Band, who had kids shouting along to lively tunes.

Saito-Takabayashi said that there are five protective factors that can help counter the risk of child abuse and neglect in communities: knowledge of parenting and of child development, parental resilience, social connections, concrete supports for parents, and developing social and emotional competence in children. They all have to do with educating parents and equipping communities to support their keiki, she explained.

“Maybe you see a parent who’s having trouble at the grocery store, offer assistance. Maybe you offer a friend a little bit of time for child care so they can get some errands done,” said Saito-Takabayashi. “All of those things help to build in solid foundations for parenting skills and for social connections.”

Twelve-year-old Lehiwa Ritte encouraged kids experiencing violence at home to not be afraid of turning to adults for help.

“Kids think they might get hurt more if they tell someone,” she said.

“They shouldn’t be scared. Just tell someone.”

Her mom Mercy Ritte added that it’s important for kids to form trusting relationships with their peers and be on the lookout for anything “that’s not pono” and know where to go. One such place is the Consuelo Foundation, which provides abuse prevention programs and support in Hawaii and the Philippines, and Child and Family Services, which offers counseling, support and parent education programs.

“It’s important to bring light to this issue and support our children,” she said. “… If we’re not speaking out or telling someone our children suffer.”

he Molokai boys’ volleyball team hosted Seabury Hall this past weekend, and after a 3-1 loss on Friday night (25-13, 19-25, 25-21 and 25-22) the Farmers played a thrilling five-set match Saturday, but again lost to Seabury 3-2 (23-25, 21-25, 25-17, 2515 and 15-11). Molokai is now 3-6 on the season. Seabury is 4-4.

On Saturday the Farmers took the first two games, but Seabury fought back and took the next three sets in a row to win the match.

Friday night was also Senior Night for Tanielu Falealii, the team’s only senior.

Coach Hale Domingo praised Falealii for his spirit and hard work.

FERRY Continued From pg. 1 rules to vote on the resolution the same day it was introduced.

Councilmember Gladys Baisa said she felt the council needed more information but also felt the issue was too urgent to deliberate on for long. Under the circumstances, LCC feared a possible shutdown as early as June of this year, according to the resolution, although LCC President David Jung has continually admitted that nothing is guaranteed at this point.

“I know we all want information, and I want it to,” Baisa said. “I want to know, is this a one-time thing? Is 500,000 a good number? How is it gonna be used? … We all want to know all these things, but … if we don’t get this going, the house is burning down while we’re thinking about it.”

Guzman also felt the resolution limited the mayor’s options for financial aid, but Council Chair Mike White reminded Guzman that the resolution “doesn’t require the mayor to do any-

a lot of us,” said Domingo. “We love the heart that he brings to practice, the heart that he brings on the road. He has the biggest heart and he plays hard all the time.”

“Anyone would have loved to have him play volleyball from his freshman year, but we have them this year and we enjoy every single minute with him,” Domingo added.

The boys will travel to Hana on April 17 and 18, followed by a week off before the 2015 Maui Interscholastic League Division-II Boys’ Volleyball Tournament on Lanai starting April 30.

“We are headed to Hana and looking forward to the challenge. We can see where we stand and then we will be blessed with a beautiful week off so we can get some hard work done, stay positive and get ready for the tournament,” said Domingo.

thing.”

The resolution now moves to the mayor. He can decide whether or not to submit a bill to the council, which would pass on the bill to a committee for review.

Councilmember Don Couch said they could also look to the Maui County Department of Transportation for solutions.

“We subsidize our bus system,” Couch pointed out. “We don’t subsidize airlines or ferries but it is in with the purview of the Department of Transportation of this county to consider that. I’m not saying that we do it, just to consider it.”

Crivello said that she’s spoken with Department of Transportation officials and has found early support for the ferry. She said she’s continuing to consider all options, and the resolution is the first step.

“I’m looking at all avenues, not only depending on the county,” she said.

“Whatever may be available out there to support this vital transportation.”

Molokai LIVE Family Fair Molokai LIVE News Release Come one, come all! Molokai LIVE is holding its grand opening Family Fair celebration to showcase educational opportunities at Molokai High, Molokai Middle, and Aka`ula Schools, grantees of the 21st Century Community Learning Center’s five-year grant.

We also encourage participation and support of our island’s schools as well as enrollment in the free classes offered through the 21st CCLC grant.

We invite our families and community to join us to celebrate the success of our students and to learn about new opportunities. Come, have fun, participate, be inspired, and see the faces of our future.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The California Gold Rush hit its peak between 1849 and 1855. Three hundred thousand adventurers flocked to America's West Coast in search of gold.

In the early days, gold nuggets were lying around on the ground in plain sight, or relatively easy to find in gravel beds at the bottom of streams. But later prospectors had to work harder, developing methods to extract the gold from rocks that contained it. One way to detect the presence of the precious metal was through the use of nitric acid, which corroded any substance that wasn't gold. The term "acid test" refers to that process. I bring this to your attention, Aries, because it's a good time for you to use the metaphorical version of an acid test as you ascertain whether what you have discovered is truly golden.

a lot to ask, but right now there's no one more suited to the tasks. Only you can manage the stern grace that will keep us honest. Only you have the tough humility necessary to solve the riddles that no one else can even make sense of.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My message this week might be controversial to the Buddhists among you. But I've got to report the cosmic trends as I see them, right? It's my sacred duty not to censor or sanitize the raw data. So here's the truth as I understand it: More desire is the answer to your pressing questions. Passionate intensity is the remedy for all wishy-washy wishes and anesthetized emotions. The stronger your longing, the smarter you'll be. So if your libido is not already surging and throbbing under its own power, I suggest you get it teased and tantalized until it does.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Karelu is a word from the Tulu language that's spoken in South India. It refers to the marks made on human skin by clothing that's too tight. As you know, the effect is temporary. Once the close-fitting garment is removed, the imprint will eventually disappear as the skin restores its normal shape and texture. I see the coming days as being a time when you will experience a metaphorical version of karelu, Scorpio. You will shed some form of constriction, and it may take a while for you to regain your full flexibility and smoothness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The time between now and your birthday will provide you with excellent opportunities to resolve lingering problems, bring drawn-out melodramas to a conclusion, and clean up old messes -- even the supposedly interesting ones. You want to know what else this upcoming period will be good for? I'll tell you: 1. Surrendering controlfreak fantasies. 2. Relieving your backlog of tension. 3. Expelling delusional fears that you cling to out of habit. 4. Laughing long and hard at the cosmic jokes that have tweaked your SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Georgia is not just an American state. It's also a country that's at the border of attitude.

Molokai Fitness: Free Classes

By Ayda Ersoy Do you struggle with your workout plan? You don’t know what you need to do, or you just get bored of doing the same every day?

Do you need some inspiration?

Science shows that the best way to get motivated is to work together in a community. Let’s do workout together, and support and push each other!

Doing exercise is not always just to lose weight -- it’s for feeling healthy and happy. Being healthy means that you’re not carrying extra pounds on you, you feel energized, you have no pain and you don’t need to take prescription drugs.

Did you know that if you are happy you can lose weight faster? Why ? Because when you have any type of stress your body produces cortisol. When your cortisol levels are high your body stops repairing most cells. Most likely you’ll be craving sugary foods, you’ll feel more tired and your mind will become less clear.

Physical activity stimulates so many brain chemicals, that it will make you feel happier and more relaxed. You may also feel better about yourself, you’ll boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.

Exercise -- especially if you are doing it with friends -- can reduce your stress level and increase endorphins (your natural pain and stress fighter hormones). Some of the benefits of group exercise are consistent schedule, and a

social and fun environment.

Also psychologists talk about something called “mirror neurons.” These are a type of brain cell that fire when you do an action, and also when you simply watch someone else doing the same action. If you have positive friends, you will get an effect from their positive energy too. But also if you are surrounded by negative people your brain cells will pick this up too.

Help and support each other for our Molokai community together, with unique classes that are easy and fun!

Mobility and abs classes are held on Mondays at 5 p.m. at One Ali`i Park for the next four weeks. Mobility means the ability to move or be moved freely and easily. Join us at One Ali`i Park and you will reduce your back pain, relax your muscles, improve your mental focus, release tension in your neck, shoulders, hips or knees, improve core strength and open your joints.

Yogalates class on Wednesdays at 5 p.m. at One Ali`i Park for the next four weeks. Yogalates combines yoga and Pilates -- yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice and Pilates is the art of controlled movements. You will release stress, improve flexibility, support your diet, increase your energy, reduce your back pain and improve your core strength.

The classes will each takes 45 minutes, after that we can talk and you can ask any questions.

Just bring your mat or towel and water with you! And don’t forget to bring your friends too.
