s the bullriders packed up their protective gear and the last riders led their horses out of the Molokai Ranch arena, cowboy Maka Augustiro beamed with quiet pride.

His 14-year-old son Chevy had just braved several long seconds in the ring with a madly bucking bull and won uproarious cheers from the crowd for his efforts. For the Augustiros and many other Molokai families, last Saturday’s Molokai Ranch Heritage Rodeo was a chance to admire each other’s grit and talent – and sometimes compete against each other.

“It gives us a time to come and have what we call a playdate for us, a time where we can make a sport of the work we do on the ranch,” said long-time paniolo Jimmy Duvauchelle. “… The one thing I like about rodeo is you can compete against your grandson, your son, your daughter, granddaughter. It’s a family affair.”

Hundreds of Hawaii residents and curious mainland visitors packed the grandstands for the evening’s competitions. Hard-charging paniolo showcased their skills in classic events like roping and racing. They also took on contests like steer undecorating, which challenges a horsemounted rider to pull a handkerchief off a galloping cow, and double mugging, in which a rider lassoes a cow and a partner on the ground wrestles it down and ties

up three legs. Emcee Luann Faborito said it’s a uniquely Hawaii event that mainland cowboys find crazy. That didn’t stop competitors from jumping calves, risking flying hooves and being dragged through the dirt.

“It’s pretty much a rush but I do it enough,” said Hawaii Island cowboy Bronson Branco, who won the double mugging event with partner Kala`i Nobriga. “There were good cows and my partner was pretty good, which makes my job easy.”

Nobriga scooped up top honors

as All-Around Cowboy, alongside AllAround Cowgirl Shelby Rivera.

No matter the age, cowgirls and cowboys were undaunted by the dangerously thrilling events. Five-year-old racer Helena Dudoit was one of the youngest competitors. Eleven-year-old Lane Kamakana won the all-ages match barrel racing event.

“The challenges are to keep your nervousness settled down,” said 18-yearold Taylor Keliihoomalu, Duvauchelle's granddaughter and a seventh-generation

tarting June 1, Makani Kai Air’s single-prop Cessnas will be heading east. The company plans to offer flights to Maui, after repeated requests from Molokai residents who enjoyed their services, said airline owner Richard Schuman.

Currently, Makani Kai operates between Ho`olehua, Kalaupapa and Honolulu. In June the airline will add six daily round trips between Molokai and Kahului and two weekly between Kalaupapa and Kapalua, according to P.J. O’Reilley, the company’s director of sales and marketing.

Makani Kai will kick off the new routes with introductory online fares of $39 one way and $78 round trip between Maui and Molokai. The flights, which will be available online starting May 1, must be booked by July 1 for travel by September 1.

After that, the new routes will cost $100 round trip, which is the airline’s across-the-board fee.

"We want to be the guys that don’t change the price," said O'Reilley, pointing out that many airlines charge more on high traffic days. "We want [customers] to have the convenience of knowing the airfare no matter what."

Schuman said the company is hiring

he Molokai girls’ softball field may be brand new, but the path to home plate is already well worn by the cleats of the high-scoring Farmers.

Last weekend in Ho`olehua, the Lady Farmers (7-1) swept the St. Anthony Trojans (1-7) in a pair of threeinning wins, 16-1 on Friday and 23-1 on Saturday.

It was the Farmers’ first and final series on their new home field, which was officially blessed on March 20.

“I’ve practiced here before, but this year, having a game and having everyone from the community and our parents coming to watch us, it just felt really exciting, and I felt really honored,” said senior Kelsie EspirituTanabe.

With the victories, Molokai’s girls claimed the regular season championship and guaranteed themselves a place at the state tournament.

On Friday, Espiritu-Tanabe and freshman Camille Ledesma scored two runs apiece, while junior pitcher

Kysha Kawano struck out six and allowed just one hit. The team worked 13 total bases on balls out of Trojan pitcher Mindy Santos and scored the final run on a bases-loaded walk.

On Saturday, junior Tai Yamamoto blasted a grand slam out of the new

ballpark as the Farmers poured in 14 first-inning runs. Senior pitcher Kiona English tossed a no-hitter, and seniors Waipuna Kelly-Paleka and Saydee Makaiwi each scored four times in what was the Senior Day game.

“They bring the fire to our team,” said junior Kapua Lee of the team’s four seniors. “They pick us up when we’re down. [I’ll miss] all the funny things they say.”

Coach Coco Augustiro said they were able to give many bench players game time in preparation for this week’s Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) championships.

“Our team goal is to get all our players up to the same level, because our theory is our team is as strong as our weakest person on the bench,” she said.

Molokai heads to MILs this weekend and then to states May 12-15.

“We’re preparing with our Agame,” said Augustiro. “With the girls playing so well we can move on to more signals and different plays.

We’re working extra hard.”

Why I fly with Makani Kai John, a former truck driver and cowboy, says he appreciates the convenience Makani Kai offers, “Your flights are always on time,” he says, “and your pilots are great.” John also likes the fact that he can park for free in Honolulu, “And I don’t have to go through security…I just get here and get on the plane.”

tudents and community members learned and created side-by-side at last week’s Molokai LIVE Family Fair. The event at Molokai High School celebrated the start of the 21st Century Community Learning Center grant, which Aka`ula School, Molokai High and Middle Schools received this year.

The five-year grant that covers up to $200,000 each year will allow the schools to offer free courses to students and the community through the Molokai LIVE program, which is short for “Learning, Investing Vigorously Everyday.” The program is meant to enrich overall student learning as well as to engage the community, said Lyn Bonk, after-school coordinator for Molokai Middle School.

“The missing piece has been the parents and community,” said Bonk, adding that she feels some parents tend to step back the higher their child advances in school. “They do that because they feel that they no longer can help the child learn because what is being taught today is so much more advanced than what was taught when they remember being in middle or high [school].”

Molokai LIVE offers a chance to bridge that gap through art, music, cultural and technology classes, from guitar to chess to sewing and upcoming video and kihei making lessons.

Some of these courses were on display at the fair, including the Molokai Art of Tones and Sounds (MATS) rock band, which provided live entertainment along with student slam poets, Hawaiian Immersion students and a community jazz band. Families could

also experience interactive learning stations, including remote-controlled demonstrations by VEX Robotics, which is part of Molokai LIVE and is open to Molokai High and Aka`ula students.

MHS junior Kui Han, who played bass with MATS at the event, said the Molokai LIVE classes will help “broaden our thinking” beyond the normal curriculum.

“I think it can help the community come together as one,” said Han. “… We get to learn together and we can teach other what we know. It kinda helps us to know how to be in a college environment, being with other students [of different ages].”

The Molokai Humane Society is happy to announce that we have a new veterinarian. Over the last month and a half, some of you may have been fortunate enough to have met Dr. Susan Baillie as she has gotten a feel for our little clinic and the island of Molokai. We are excited to add such a great asset to our team!

Dr. Baillie is originally from a small farming community in South Africa, and later moved to California with her family. She was a preschool teacher for eight years, until she discovered her passion for animals, and graduated from University of California-Davis with a degree in Veterinary Medicine in 2005. She spent several years in both Southern California and Washington State, before moving to Maui in 2011 to work at the West Maui Animal

he Molokai High School boys’ baseball team will be headed to the state tournament for the third year in a row after winning the MIL Division II Baseball Championship this past weekend at Maehara Stadium on Maui.

The Farmers outscored their opponents in the tournament 26- 1 and had solid pitching from their two aces, Nohi Meyer and Hanale Dudoit Enos.

On Thursday, they defeated Lanai 15-0 in three innings, and on Friday they defeated St. Anthony 11- 1 in five innings.

Ena Victorino had a home run and a triple in the game against the Trojans, and all of his teammates also contributed to the successful weekend.

"I was just trying to keep my eye on the ball, just swing like the coaches said, quick hands to the plate," said Victorino.

Head Coach Scott Rapanot was very proud of his team and said they are peaking at just the right time, adding there is a reason for that.

“It looks like everything is coming to-

gether for us, and it's all because hard work pays off,” he said. “I tell the players all the time that it’s not how you start, it is how you finish, and all their hard work is paying off right now and their bats are really talking story.”

The team will get back to practice this week and wait to hear what their seeding will be and who they will play on Oahu May 7-9. The quarterfinal games will be played on May 7 at Hans L'Orange field, and the semifinals on May 8 will be at Les Murakami Stadium at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.

The championship game is scheduled for Saturday, May 9 at 4 p.m. at Les Murakami Stadium. The semifinals and the championship game will be on Oceanic cable TV. Rapanot says they are looking forward to representing the MIL and Molokai at the state championships, and that it has been their goal all season.

“Now we head to the state tournament and we battle in there,” he said. “It has been our goal and our dream all year to win the state championship and bring home to Molokai another title banner to hang in the gym.”

eight to 10 Maui-based employees, including three or four pilots, and has purchased a new plane to handle the increased flight load.

"If we have a maintenance issue ... like a flat tire, we have an aircraft standing by," he said. “We’re good at covering ourselves and getting back on track.”

of Transportation (DOT) awarded the company its second Essential Air Service (EAS) contract to provide federally subsidized service to Kalaupapa for the next four years.

Molokai resident Keoho Au said she would consider visiting friends on Maui more often now that Makani Kai offers flights there.

"I think it's good to have more options, and you don't have to deal with the TSA," she said.

For Maui resident Dean Hashimoto, who travels to Molokai at least 10 times a year for his paving construction job, the increase in options could also pay off for both islands in the long run.

"I think it'll bring the fares down too," he said. "... With competition and cost of fuel going down, that should help out a lot."

Tennis Teams Stay Hopeful

By Colleen Uechi | Staff Writer

M

olokai’s tennis teams exited early in last week’s Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) championships, but not before giving opposing schools a glimpse of what’s to come from this young, growing program.

“Our team is mostly comprised of sophomores and first year players,” said Luke Kikukawa, the team’s only senior. “… We really were starting to become a much bigger figure in MILs. Coaches are becoming more aware of us.”

Multiple underclassmen contributed to the Farmers’ five firstround victories, while sophomores Kaiea Dowling and Preston PascuaKaho`okano were named the sixth seed in the boys’ doubles competition and received a first-round bye.

Freshmen doubles teams Cassandra Ragonton and Romelyn Ragonton, and Michelle McGuire and Althea Cariaga got past the first round, as did junior duo Kea`a Davis and Oceana Madani. Sophomore Shyloh Kawa`auhau-Pua`a won in boys’ singles, and Kikukawa and Allan Maroto triumphed in boys’ doubles.

While the Farmers fell in the second round, they stayed till the end of the tournament to glean tips for next season.

“The experience and the exposure is key to have your kids be able to see the level of competition and what it takes,” said Coach Pono Asano. “We need to work hard to come back.”

Molokai has been laying the blocks for future success, physically and mentally. Asano said that while many teams head to McDonald’s during road trips, Head Coach Dean Chow insists on taking the team

straight to Costco on Maui to load up on fruit, yogurt, chicken and other lean foods.

“The kids, they eat really well and they eat clean,” said Asano. “We’re trying to teach them more than about tennis. It’s about total wellness.”

For the coaches, that includes mental strength. Chow said earlier in the season that returning players like sophomore Decker Bicoy have “matured so much mentally” when it comes to shaking off setbacks. As for the first-year players, Asano added coaches first taught them to love the game.

“At the forefront you need to explain this is not your year when you become champions. This is the year when you find passion for the sport of tennis,” he explained. “ … Hopefully we can give you enough tools to have a great time, to see you next year and then we can work on greater strategy in winning games.”

Freshman Mariana Campos, who had never held a racket before the season began, now thoroughly enjoys the sport.

“We have really good coaches and we had practice almost every day,” she said. “Tennis is one of my favorite sports and I really hope I can play it for [the next three years].”

While the boys’ team will lose two effective players in Kikukawa and Christian Paul Basubas, who will be a senior but over the MIL age limit next season, the girls’ side has a solid crop of players that could return next season, and overall, Asano feels next season is packed with promise.

“If the [players] we have now return to tennis, I am super excited,” said Asano. “I really think next year is the year that we’re gonna really make waves within the MILs.”

Molokai Attends STEM Conference MEDB News Release The sixth annual Hawaii STEM Conference, held April 17-18 once again lived up to its reputation as the state’s premiere Science, Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) conference for students and educators. Presented by Maui Economic Development Board’s (MEDB) Women in Technology (WIT) project, the event attracted more than 500 attendees who explored the many benefits of STEM learning, showcased some of the best programs and projects, and expanded Hawaii community of experiential STEM advocates.

This year included 350 student participants, 100 teachers accessed professional development, and 75 industry professionals provided mentoring and career awareness, with more than 30 schools and organizations participating statewide.

But the impact of the conference can’t be conveyed by just numbers, it was the personal development and empowerment that many event attendees experienced and will carry with them way beyond the Conference.

“It’s all about engaging our students and educators through interactive STEM learning,” said WIT Program Director Isla Young. “We strive to make the conference experience unique each year. Whether it’s adding fresh program content, introducing new technologies, bringing in prominent speakers, offering network opportunities or opening one’s eyes to possible careers – it all adds up to an empowering STEM experience.”

For the Molokai Middle School husband and wife team of STEM teachers Kaeo and Kahoiwai Kawaa, the STEM Conference gave them a chance

to showcase their program and their students’ work. “We want them to learn how they can affect not only their lives but the lives of others,” Mrs. Kawaa said.

Molokai eighth-grader Evelyn Haase said she’s enjoyed traveling to the Hawaii STEM Conference to share her love for science and the projects her team of STEM classmates have accomplished. The students developed and presented six-foot-tall displays that outlined their STEM projects. For example, there were photographs from Family Night they organized to engaged grade school aged Molokai youngsters to build mini-robots and engage in friendly competitions.

“Robotics really embodies all of STEM,” Haase said. “There’s science, there’s math and a lot of problem solving. I loved working with younger students. They really get to it and I just love it.”

Beth Conroy-Humphrey, a former teacher who serves as the counselor for middle and high school students on Lanai, brought a contingent of six to the conference.

“MEDB is a huge financial STEM supporter but what’s even more important is that their conference is student centered,” said Conroy-Humphrey.

“Everything is about and for the students. It’s about getting them excited about science, about math, about technology and about engineering. This conference is awesome!”

Understanding Asthma Inhalers

By Jon Mikami, RPh, and Kelly Go, Rph | Molokai Drugs, Inc. Did you know that only seven percent of people understand how to use asthma inhalers the right way? Combine that with a wide array of asthma medications, and asthma management can become more than a little confusing.

Everybody is different, so your doctor decides which type of medication and inhaler is best for you. But here’s a brief overview of what you need to know.

Inhaled medications help airways stay open without some of the side effects of those taken by mouth or injection. These medications work in different ways. For example, some reduce airway inflammation, while others relax small muscles around airways.

One class of inhaled asthma medication provides quick relief from symptoms such as tightness and gasping. Often used daily—even without symptoms—the other class is for long-term control. If you often use quick-relief “rescue” medications more than twice a week, you may need a change in your treatment.

Asthma inhalers are hand-held devices that deliver medication directly into your lungs. People use inhalers either to prevent or stop an asthma attack. A metered dose inhaler has a boot-shaped mouthpiece and a pressurized canister containing medication. Typically, you release the medicine by pushing the canister into the boot. Some of these inhalers contain counters that tell you how many doses remain. If not, track the number of doses you’ve used.

Some metered dose inhalers contain a spacer. This temporarily holds medication until it’s released, which makes it easier to receive a full dose with a slow breath. Some spacers are built in. Others

paniolo. “Just breathe basically. There’s not much you can do.”

Keliihoomalu did more than that – she sported a huge grin as she whipped through the wahine barrel racing competition to be named champion. Her sister Cheyanne Keliihoomalu, Miss Rodeo Hawaii 2014, presented her with the award.

“Molokai never [had] one rodeo for a long time, and it was exciting for have a rodeo up here, for one family function,” said Maunaloa resident Holly Cleo. “The bullriding was the most exciting event.”

Cleo said many people came especial-

attach separately to the inhaler. Infants or children may require a face mask to ensure the right dose reaches their lungs.

Dry powder inhalers release medication when you breathe a deep, fast breath.

Using air or oxygen under pressure, nebulizers deliver a fine liquid mist of medication through a tube or mask.

Different inhalers require different techniques. For example, some require coordinating your breath with the medication release. Others require a fast, deep breath. Some require shaking and priming. Others require the dexterity to use a cocking device.

If you don’t use inhalers or spacers the right way, you might get too little or too much medicine. A recent study showed that 63 percent of those who misused inhalers or spacers missed three or more steps. The most common mistake with metered dose inhalers? Not exhaling before depressing the canister to inhale the medication.

The study found that people’s memories fade, so they forget what to do. What this means is you may need a “refresher course” from time to time.

Be sure to ask your doctor or one of the pharmacists at Molokai Drugs if you have any questions about inhaler techniques.

As this study shows, most people are unclear on how to use inhalers, so don’t feel embarrassed about asking questions. Please do not hesitate to call us at 808-553-5790.

The energetic crowd also sang along to popular local tunes performed by the Rough Riders, the soulful collaboration of John Cruz, Henry Kapono and Brother Noland. Rodeo Director Rex Kamakana added this year is the beginning of what Molokai Ranch hopes will be a yearly event.

“We’ve had it in the past, but we’re trying to revive it again,” he said.

When the spotlights go out and many rodeo cowboys head back to their day jobs, Duvauchelle said it’s back to work for ranchers.

“It’s so different from what we see in the rodeo arena,” he said. “Paniolo is a lifestyle.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19):Chris Moneymaker was employed as an accountant in Tennessee. On a whim, he paid $39 to enter an online poker tournament. Although he knew a lot about the game, he had never competed professionally. Nevertheless, he won the tournament. As his award, he received no money, but rather an invitation to participate in the annual World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. Can you guess the storybook ending? The rookie triumphed over 838 pros, taking home $2.5 million. I don't foresee anything quite as spectacular for you, Aries, but there may be similar elements in your saga. For example, a modest investment on your part could make you eligible for a chance to earn much more. Here's another possible plot twist:You could generate luck for yourself by ramping up a skill that has until now been a hobby.

JOB the frustration. You're close to unlocking the deeper ambitions that are trapped inside the surface-level wishes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): American author Stephen Crane wrote his celebrated Civil War novel The Red Badge of Courage in ten days. Composer George Frideric Handel polished off his famous oratorio Messiah in a mere 24 days, and Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky produced his novel The Gambler in 16 days.

On the other hand, Junot Díaz, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, needed ten years to finish it. As for you, Libra, I think this is -- and should be! -- a phase more like Díaz's than the other three creators'. Go slowly. Be super extra thorough. What you're working on can't be rushed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In her book A Natural History of the Senses, Diane Ackerman describes a medieval knight who asked his lady for a strand of her pubic hair: a symbol of her life force. The lady agreed. He placed the talisman in a locket that he wore around his neck, confident that it would protect him and consecrate him in the course of the rough adventures ahead. I recommend that you consider a similar tack in the coming weeks, Scorpio. As you head toward your turning point, arm yourself with TAURUS (April 20-May 20): eBay is a multi-billion-dollar e- a personal blessing from someone you love. Success is most likely commerce business that has been around for almost 20 years. But if you tincture your fierce determination with magical tenderness. it had an inauspicious beginning.

While I have faith in the vigor of the long- Order' sign, just 'Escalator Is Temporarily Stairs.'" I think a term trends you are or will soon be setting in motion, your initial similar principle applies to you, Sagittarius. If we were to try steps may be a bit iffy. to evaluate your current situation with conventional wisdom, we might say that part of your usual array of capacities is not GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Poetically speaking, it's time to functioning at its usual level.

Beachcomber Of Kalaupapa

By Pat Killilea | St. Francis Church, Kalaupapa I approached the huge log with caution and a degree of awe. There was something majestic about this massive piece of tree, something almost mysterious. How did it get here? When did it get here? Had it been floated from some other location in ancient times, destined to be shaped into a wa`a, a Hawaiian canoe? I stood there looking down at its great length and enormous girth and I thought, “God only knows.” Then I stepped around it and continued to explore the beach.

It was a beautiful sunny and windy Sunday afternoon and I had decided to leave the quiet of Kalaupapa village and explore the outer fringes of this Makanalua peninsula. The road, or rather pathway, takes one from the airport uphill past the Kalaupapa lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in the U.S. Pacific, which has cast its beam on this settlement since 1909 when it was commissioned. Then it is downhill to the white sand beach called Ho`olehua. No, I did not take Bailey the cat along, since Babyface might have decided to go surfing and the only surfing I do is the Internet.

Many residents of our settlement love to go out to this stretch of beach to

Edward M Kennedy Institute News Release

On March 30, college students and current and former Senators from around the country participated in the Senate Chamber Dedication Ceremony as part of the Public Dedication of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate on Columbia Point in Boston. Michael Kikukawa from Kaunakakai, a current student at Harvard University, represented Hawaii at the event. The students were selected on the merit of essays submitted on the topic of public service.

The Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate is dedicated to educating the public about the important role of the Senate in our government, encouraging participatory democracy, invigorating civil discourse and inspiring the next generation of citizens and leaders to engage in the civic life of their communities. The Institute will be a dynamic center of learning and engagement that uses innovative technology to provide each visitor with an information-rich, personalized experience that will bring important historical and current debates to life.

Vice President Joe Biden presided over the ceremony in the Institute’s Senate Chamber – a full-scale representation of the Senate Chamber in the U.S. Capitol. During the ceremony, former and current U.S. Senators from across the country were paired together with a

"get away" for a few hours, to enjoy the rugged beauty of this area and to listen to the roar of the ocean as the waves crash against the black lava rocks. They walk the white sand beach and look for any treasures that the Northern Pacific may have washed ashore. On this afternoon I found myself alone on the beach marveling at the tremendous quality, as well as quantity, of dried driftwood which has accumulated on this beach. Now, while some people with artistic touch would probably like to decorate their homes with some of this wood, I thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be just great to gather the residents out here and sit around a giant evening bonfire."

If I had had some form of fire lighter with me that afternoon, I might have been tempted to start my own little fire, but thank the Lord I did not. Otherwise Park Ranger, Dynamic Dan, might have happened on the scene, taken me away in handcuffs, and locked me up in the old slammer now occupied for many years by spiders only. Then the headlines in The Molokai Dispatch as well as the Maui News might read, "Kalaupapa Priest Jailed For Lighting Fires." That would not be good print for a budding beachcomber. I wonder what Father Damien would have thought of such a caper? God only knows.

student from their home state. Senators were recognized for their service as they electronically “signed their desks” in the Senate Chamber. Vice President Biden concluded with a call to leadership that seeks to inspire the next generation of citizens amid leaders past and present.

Current and former U.S. Senators joined the winning students.

The Institute will teach students in an engaging, dynamic and empowering way about our system of government, the Senate's unique role in the nation's history and the work of those who have devoted their careers to public service.

Its centerpiece is the Institute’s Senate Chamber, where students can use technology to enhance an active learning process in which they take on the simulated role of Senators.

Students can sit at exact models of the desks used by U.S. Senators and try their own hands at legislating. They will use modules developed by leading educational software and video game designers, with input from local high school and middle school teachers and university educators. Students will have the opportunity to participate in simulations, re-enacting historic debates like the Compromise of 1850 or working together to pass immigration reform. They will learn about issues, cut deals, pass laws and come away with a deeper understanding of our democracy and their role in strengthening it.

Molokai Fitness: How Old is Old?

By Ayda Ersoy First, ask yourself how old you would be right now if you didn’t know your birthday.

It’s a tricky question, but really think for a moment. We limit ourselves by our beliefs. You think “OK, after 55 or maybe 65 my time is passed and I should just be happy with whatever I can still do.”

But what if you’re wrong? What if everything you’re feeling now -- low energy, not as much strength as you had 20 years ago -- were symptoms you created? I know this is hard to believe, but it’s only because we live so much of our lives on autopilot, not really thinking about what we’re doing every day. You may think this way is normal, because everyone around you is thinking that way.

Did you ever believe that if you really want something then you can achieve it? If so, why did you stop believing in yourself? Do you know if you stop, you are practically going backwards?

First, stop telling yourself you are getting old! Change your thoughts, use the affirmation that you are getting younger and stronger every day. Even just telling yourself this will have positive effects on your health.

Second, just move! It doesn’t really matter how, just do whatever you can -- maybe walking, swimming, or even just practicing 10 or 15 times standing up from your chair without holding on to anything, then when you stand up hold

on to the back or chair and just swing your legs side to side, front to back. You don’t need to do anything extreme, just do what you can. But the secret is, do it every day!

Here’re a few stories that inspire me so much, I hope they can inspire you too.

Fauna Sing was born in 1911. In 2011, he ran the Toronto marathon at age 100! It took him 8 hours, 11 minutes and 6 seconds. Queen Elisabeth II congratulated him. He took up running at age 89!

Now, at age 104, he is still running. He says that running has given him purpose and a sense of peace. “Why worry about these small, small things? I don’t stress.

You never hear of anyone dying of happiness,” he says. And he is, by his own admission, pretty happy.

Then there’s Harriete Thomson, who ran the San Diego marathon at age 91 in 7 hours, 7 minutes and 42 seconds.

She started running at age 76.

And there’s Gladys Burrill. She ran the 2010 Honolulu marathon at age 92 in 9 hours, 53 minutes and 16 seconds. Or how about 96 year old yoga teacher Tao Porchon Lynch? She’s the worlds oldest yoga teacher, still teaching today. Her personal mantra is “there is nothing you cannot do.”

When you see these people, you will think they are 40 years younger than they are!

I know you’re thinking that these people are extreme. Maybe. But they believe and they didn’t stop because they got old. I want to remind you: whatever you are telling yourself, you are right!

Phonebook Recycling Begins Berry Company News Release The Berry Company, LLC, proud publisher of the Hawaiian Telcom Yellow Pages, is partnering with schools on the islands of Hawaii, Kauai, Lanai, Maui and Molokai to launch “Think Yellow, Go Green,” the company’s annual environmental awareness and recycling campaign. The seventh annual program kicked off on Earth Day, April 22, through the end of May, and runs concurrent to the 2015 Hawaiian Telcom Yellow Pages directory delivery on the neighbor islands.

Local schools on each island will compete to collect the most outdated telephone directories, which will keep the directories out of landfills through recycling. The schools have the opportunity to win cash

prizes for their students’ participation in the program, and award amounts vary based on the school’s location.

After the close of the school contest, the collected outdated telephone directories will be recycled, and Hawaiian Telcom Yellow Pages are 100 percent recyclable.

Recycling and environmental sustainability are important initiatives year round, so residences and businesses throughout Hawaii should check with their local recycling department for more information on recycling programs offered in their area.

For more information about the recycling program, including drop-off locations and hours, as well as a list of the participating schools and food banks, visit ThinkYellowGoGreen.com.

WEEKLY PUZ ZLE ANSWERS

HTFG News Release On Saturday, May 2, Molokai is proud to host world renowned fruit expert, chef, author and filmmaker Ken Love. Learn his successful propagation techniques in grafting, air layering and seed saving, hosted by the Hawaii Tropical Fruit Growers (HTFG) on Molokai. Ken travels the world to learn and teach about growing and producing unique tropical fruits and has looked for rare and exotic fruit in more than 50 countries. He has at least 150 unusual fruit trees on his family farm in Hawaii Island.

As a chef and localvore advocate, he has a passion for introducing unusual local grown fruits into farmers markets, grocery stores and restaurants with a “Buy Local” message as Hawaii producers compete with Florida, Mexico and Ecuador. He discovered more than 200 varieties of avocados on Hawaii Island from three centuries of seed saving traders who ate avocados on their passage from Mexico, Central America and West India. Those seedlings flourished on Hawaii Island. Japanese coffee growers came and grafted and cross-bred varieties, creating even more subdivisions of the avocado species like Masami, Yamagata and Ohata. Over time, cross breeding and cross pollination created an island with more types of avocados than any other place in the world.

Signs 558 8359 docmotts@gmail.com

by Doc Mott

While Hawaii’s supermarkets sells 1.5 million pounds of imported avocados, 350,000 pounds of Hawaiian avocados rot on the ground. Aina momona once represented Molokai as the breadbasket of Hawaii and Ken is excited to participate in a comeback of food production. Ken’s 32 years of fruit research is on his website hawaiifruit.net.

The County of Maui, Office of Economic Development provides workshop funding to support Molokai backyard fruit growers to become income producing. Perhaps an old grandfather tree once abundant with delicious fruit needs a new generation of hearty keiki that can bear fruit for a cottage business. Developing grafting and air layering skills can also provide Molokai residents with locally propagated fruit trees without the expense of off island shipment and invasive species.

The public is invited to small group breakout sessions at Mahana Gardens, 9 a.m. to noon. Participants will have hands on practice with tools and plant material provided for them. A seed saving demonstration will be led by Mark House, Organic Farm and Seed Manager at Puu O Hoku Ranch. Admission is $45 for non members, $10 for HTFG members at the event. Call 808-385-2148 for further information.
