ompeting in one of two Hawaii eight-player football leagues, Molokai rarely gets the chance to test itself against neighbor island teams in a sport without a state championship.

However, at a football showcase on Oahu from June 5-7, the Farmers got to rub shoulder pads with scores of the state’s best athletes and take tips from some of the nation’s top college coaches.

Maximum Exposure Camp, put on

by Hawaii’s Gridiron Performance Academy, helps players hone fundamentals while connecting with college coaches.

In its second time at the camp, Molokai brought nine players, the most out of any Maui Interscholastic League school.

“You had to work really hard to impress the coaches,” said Molokai defensive back William Dela Cruz. “… It was a good experience to challenge yourself to know where you rank in the state.”

More than 480 players came from Hawaii, the West Coast, Guam and American Samoa. Throughout the three-day camp, players participated in conditioning and position-specific drills. On Sunday, players were selected for a 7-on-7 showcase scrimmage that included Molokai’s Decker Bicoy and Dela Cruz. The competition, said Molokai players, was “intense.”

“Those quarterbacks over there, their skill level is super high, and they’re very talented,” said Molokai quarterback JohnMichael Mokiao-Duvauchelle. “… When you have competition it brings out the best in you.”

At this year’s camp, there were also more than 80 coaches from nearly 35 NCAA and NAIA colleges, including AP Top 25 finishers Oregon, Arizona, Arizona State, and the University of Southern California. “[Coaches] couldn’t believe how much talent there was in one camp,” said former NFL trainer Chad Ikei, one of the event’s organizers. “… A lot of our kids can’t afford to go to mainland to do this type of networking for themselves.”

The Hawaii-born Ikei said he’d been seeing many skilled local football players getting overlooked for scholarships.

A couple of years ago, he helped put together the Maximum Exposure Camp and invited college coaches to come scout out island talent, as well as offer their own expertise.

“What’s great about it as is a lot of the college coaches are actually getting [into the drills] and … so the kids are exposed to high quality coaches and getting really specific feedback,” said Molokai Head Coach Mike Kahale.

Coaches also got a chance to speak to players outside of drills, and Kahale said they offered lessons that included concentrating on getting good grades.

The players are continuing to build their recruiting portfolios. A week before

landmark for more than 50 years, local fast food restaurant Molokai Drive Inn is closing on Wednesday, June 17. Following a legal battle between landowners Friel Enterprises and operators Molokai Services Inc. (MSI) over the amount of rent being charged for the property, the conflict was never resolved and the current lease expires on June 30. In an announcement of the closure on Facebook, MSI said it hopes to open again in a new location.

"It's going to be sad," said restaurant manager and 15-year employee of the Drive Inn, Annie Cariaga. "We will miss the kupuna who come here every day. We appreciate the community for feeling the same way we feel when we heard about this."

Cariaga said she got the news of the closure a few weeks ago. Currently the restaurant employs seven full time workers and five part time, though she said several additional employees have already left.

"There are employees that worked here for 20, 15, 10 years. We lasted a long time in this place, even though it gets really hot in here!" she laughed.

"We still show up everyday... we're just thankful for the community for all their support."

Legal Disputes In March, MSI filed a lawsuit against Friel Enterprises, claiming the landlords were collecting more than fair market value rent.

Molokai Drive Inn opened for business in 1964 in the center of town on land owned by Molokai Ranch. In 1982, Pearl Hodgins, named as the first defendant in the case, and her mother Pearl Friel Petro, formed Friel Enterprises and purchased the property from Molokai Ranch in 1983.

In the lawsuit, Bruce Sherman, attorney for plaintiff MSI, estimated MSI was overcharged about $1.5 million over 20 years.

Until last year, individuals served as officers of both organizations, in what the lawsuit called a fraudulent scheme to "basically negotiate leases with them-

selves," said Sherman. Three out of five directors of MSI were directors of Friel Enterprises at the same time.

Under Molokai Ranch, MSI paid $362.62 per quarter in rent. By June 1992, the suit claims rent had increased to more than $950 per month, or $2,850 per quarter -- an increase that was not in keeping with the existing contract.

In 1994, the lease was renegotiated, and terms included rent payment of $2500 per month, as well as five percent of sales. The lawsuit claims no other commercial tenants on Molokai were required to pay a percentage of gross revenues. In 2004, rent was raised to $3,000 with six percent of sales, which the lawsuit states was approximately $6,000 monthly.

The suit claims that in 2013, the defendant found comparable rentals in the area, with most being leased at about $800 per month, and on average, under $1230 monthly.

"The rent that they’ve been charged over the last year averaged $9,000 per month," said Sherman of MSI. However, defense attorney Jonathan Steiner, McCorriston Miller Mukai MacKinnon law firm, said his clients, Friel Enterprises, tried to negotiate the rent and "never got a commercially realistic offer [from MSI]."

"Instead [of negotiating], Molokai Services, in our view, chose to litigate and assert some nasty allegations against my clients...." he said.

Steiner stated there was full disclosure about individuals being on the board of both Friel Enterprises and MSI, and no concerns were ever raised until recently. In 2014, board members holding positions with both entities resigned.

"In our view, they [Friel Enterprises] always treated Molokai Services fairly. In our view, what happened was disclosed. Most importantly, for decades, they [MIS] accepted the benefits of the arrangement and knew about what was going on… If they had raised a complaint early on, it could have... been addressed."

The second circuit judge agreed.

n June 5, the Maui County Council passed a bill to appropriate $105,000 to Sea Link of Hawaii, which operates the Molokai ferry and has reported losses in riders and funds over the past year.

With a contract still to be written for the funding, it will take about a month for Sea Link to receive the money, according to County Economic Development Director Teena Rasmussen. She added they're still in the process of deciding whether the finding will be given all at once or in increments.

Since January, the ferry has been losing an average of $20,000-$25,000 a month, according Sea Link President and Senior Captain Dave Jung. “[The funding] covers our losses and bought us some time,” said Jung.

“We will run through the first part of August for sure.”

Jung said the company still plans to send an application this week to the Public Utilities Commission requesting to run the ferry on an “as needed basis.” Before submitting an application, however, the company is sending surveys out to the Molokai community asking whether residents prefer a limited schedule that would run based on ridership or the existing schedule that requires the ferry to run regardless of passenger numbers.

“Until we see a long-term regular subsidy we can’t run the full schedule,” Jung said.

Sea Link is proposing that a minimum of 30 passengers be required for the ferry to run. The company would be able to “cancel any voyage with a minimum 48-hour notice” if a trip has fewer than 30 riders, according to the survey.

The subsidized daily commuter program would also be discontinued.

Molokai and Makani Kai Air: A Great Partnership

By P.J. O’Reilley “I hate the airline industry,” is a sentiment that is generally shared by everyone in the flying public, but unusual to hear from a guy who runs an airline. But then, Richard Schuman, owner of Makani Kai Air, is an unusual person in his own right.

“All these airfare fluctuations,” he says, “are ridiculous. The airlines are gouging people, charging more on Fridays and Sundays, when folks need to fly.” He admits that the price gyrations, which are standard operating procedure for modern airlines, are profit driven, “but to me, that’s the wrong focus.

We’re focused on people’s needs.”

Makani Kai Air is the only airline in the state and perhaps the only airline in the country that charges a flat rate. The airfare is $50 for flights between Molokai and Oahu and Molokai and Maui.

Another common airline tactic with which Schuman takes umbrage is the lack of commitment to the customer.

“If a plane is delayed, most airlines just tell customers to go home and come back tomorrow,” he says.

“I find that unacceptable.”

That’s why he keeps an airplane on standby to complete the mission if an aircraft has a maintenance or other issue. “No air carrier in Hawaii is as dependable and on time as we are. If it’s raining hard and the airport is closed, we’ll just wait until we can make it in and then fly, even if it’s eight o’clock at night.

Hey, people have to get home.”

Schuman’s commitment to the community of Molokai goes back a ways. His great grandfather came to Hawaii in 1891 and his grandmother, Zena Mossman, was raised by the Duvauchelles on Molokai. But Schuman’s understanding of and

appreciation for the people of Molokai began in earnest when Makani Kai first started providing air service to Kalaupapa in 2010. In De- Richard Schuman cember of that year, the airline was awarded the Essential Air Service contract for Kalaupapa by the Federal Department of Transportation.

“Once you meet the people and learn that your service is an integral part of their lives, you embrace that responsibility. You’re a lifeline, so you’d better be dependable.” Makani Kai has been known to actually return to the airport in Kalaupapa to pick up someone who missed the flight. “No other airline does that,” he says.

In June of 2011, Makani Kai started providing service to topside Molokai and Schuman was impressed by the generosity and giving nature of the new clientele, “Guava butter, Molokai salt, gau gee, avocados, manapua, homemade cookies…our customers bring these things in a show of appreciation for what our people do,” he says. “It’s just tremendous. You never see that happen at the United or Delta counter.”

Although Makani Kai now flies to Maui, that’s where the expansion ends. “I have no desire to fly to the Big Island or even Lanai. Molokai is the center of what we do.”

So, the man who openly declares his disdain for the airline industry is doing his level best to return flying to the way it used to be, the way it ought to be, to that little corner of Paradise we know as Molokai.

Brushfire Burns an Acre On June 12, firefighters on Molokai responded to a brushfire near Ho`olehua airport.

Ho`olehua firefighters arrived at 12:58 p.m. and found about a quarteracre of grass and brush burning about a mile east of the airport, on the south side of Maunaloa Highway. An engine and water tanker from Kaunakakai ar-

rived minutes later and assisted with bringing the fire under control. The fire was called contained by 2:04 and extinguished at 2:55 p.m.

The fire was determined to be accidental and was caused when remnants from an agricultural fire ignited nearby grass. About an acre was scorched on the residential property in Ho`olehua.

Retirements Celebrated

Tackling Invasive Algae

By Cheryl Corbiell The Molokai Gorilla Ogo Survey and Control Project was launched on Saturday, June 6 at Kulana `Oiwi by master of ceremony and Office of Hawaiian Affairs Trustee Colette Machado. She was joined by 75 people with passion, knowledge and love for the reef and ocean. For five hours, participants learned about the threat and distribution of the invasive algae on Molokai’s south shore and what other communities have tackled gorilla ogo.

Over the last seven weeks, Machado has gathered seven project partners: Kua Aina Ulu Auamo, OHA, DLNR’s Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR), The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Ke Kua`aina Hanauna Hou, and Kahina Pohaku Loko I`a.

In the morning, Kimo Franklin of Malama Maunalua discussed the lessons learned from the ongoing invasive alien algae (IAA) cleanup at Maunalua Bay. More than 200 acres of the eight-mile bay was invaded with IAA. The IAA smothers coral reefs and native algae communities. Since 2007, 3000 volunteer have cleared 27 acres using and donated 10,000 hours.

“The main lessons for Molokai are the impossible is possible,” said Franklin, “start small and get visible success, get community involvement and partnerships, logistics are important from how to remove the algae to where to dispose it, and science plays a critical role in the survey and monitoring of the areas.”

Ogo removal was the next topic.

Manuel Mejia of TNC prefers manual methods.

“One hundred volunteers over a four-hour event can remove 30,000 pounds of invasive ogo,” said Mejia.

Another option is TNC has a large underwater vacuum called the “super sucker” that literally vacuums up the ogo, but it requires the right sea-

floor conditions to use it.

Via Skype, Charlie, Paul and Fred Reppun, taro farmers from Waiahole Valley, Oahu, described how they use invasive ogo as a soil amendment on their 10-acre farm. Alien ogo from Kaneohe Bay is delivered in bags, spread out, and dried in the sun. It is a potassium source for taro and sweet potato crops. The brothers are experimenting with a homemade digester to retain more ogo nutrients.

Molokai High School students Sarah and Lily Jenkins provided a historical perspective about mangrove introduction and gorilla ogo.

Today, over 66 percent of Molokai’s fishponds are covered with mangroves, and over the next 100 years over 64 percent of the reef will be covered if nothing is done. Mangroves change water quality and produce sheltered mudflats, which are prime IAA habitat.

Another panel member, Sarah Vasconcellos, a doctoral Botany student at UH Manoa, described her success with native limu propagation.

The research was conducted on the reef fronting the Waikiki Aquarium.

Quarterly cleanups remove the invasive algae and native limu is planted in its place. Hoaka Thomas, a biology student at UH Manoa, presented his research about the introduction of red urchins into areas where gorilla ogo was cleared.

"The urchins can do the much harder, tedious work of grazing the little bits of algae," said Hoaka. The strategy has worked in small test plots. This is a possibility for Molokai.

The next phase is July 11-13, when Molokai volunteers will participate in the south shore survey. Approximately six teams of half a dozen people per team will survey and GPS the south shore for gorilla ogo and mangroves. To volunteer, call Office of Hawaiian Affairs Molokai at 808560-3611.

DRIVE INN

Continued From pg. 1 In April, the case was dismissed on the grounds that the statue of limitations -- the time lapsed since the alleged offenses -- had lapsed. Steiner said many of the allegations concerned things that took place more than 10 years ago, and some involved people who are since deceased, including Petro.

"It’s really sad for my clients because it’s their mother and their family that built up this restaurant," said Steiner of the lawsuit that names Hodgins and three of her siblings as defendants.

"This dispute has gotten in the way of continuing to operate the restaurant."

He said Friel Enterprises continued to attempt negotiations on the renewal

Another Drive Inn supporter said it all comes down to the price of rent.

"At some point, these businesses end up staying open only to pay for their location, which is the total opposite of what business is supposed to be about," he wrote on the Molokai Dispatch Facebook page. "I hope that they can find another place soon, because losing 10 to 20 more jobs is the last thing Molokai needs."

Cariaga said she will remember best the laughter and jokes of workers, calling them "goofies," and the regulars, who came "every morning for breakfast for 20 years."

"It's sad for employees because it's hard to find a job here," she said. "They said they're going to cry on the last day of work. I still can't get over it."

Veterans Corner

By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. The National Civil War Memorial has gotten started. The Living Legacy Project that is part of the Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership has plans to honor every one of the 620,000 American killed in the Civil War with an individual tree. So far this year, some 2,000 trees have been planted with about 8,000 more trees scheduled to be planted in 2015. The trees are planted along a 180-mile route through the states of Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia, and stretch from Gettysburg to Monticello.

According to an article in the May 2015 VFW magazine titled "Section 60"

by Robert M. Poole, Master Sgt. David.

V. Hill, a former Green Beret, was at Arlington National Cemetery, section 60, where many Iraq and Afghanistan KIAs are interned. He was there, as he put it, to visit a friend, Army Major Jeffery P. Toczylowski, known to his friends as Toz, who had fallen from a chopper in Iraq. After his death, Toz's friends and family received an email from the departed major. "If you are getting this email, it means that I have passed away," Toz wrote. He invited them to his service at Arlington. He wrote there would also be a party in Vegas and he had set aside $100,000 to cover travel, rooms and other expenses for those attending his farewell party. A year after his death, more than 100 friends traveled to the Palms Hotel in Vegas, where

Signs

his mother Peggy greeted well-wishers, barmaids werved liquor from an open bar and a disc jockey turned up the music. A life-sized cardboard cutout of Toz stood over the all-night party. Very few military personnel have left the service with Toz's flair. But all the KIAs interned in section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery, along with Toz, will be remembered and sorely missed by family and friends. Come to section 60 often, as Hill put it, to visit.

June 6, 1944 is known as "D-Day," when the Allied forces swept ashore with a vengeance on the beaches of Normandy in France. It was a marvelous and absolutely well-thought-out logistical feat, the likes of which had never before been seen. Some 175,000 men landed on the first day, and that number rose to 325,000 the first week and eventually totaled 2.5 million men. They were delivered by 5,300 ships, 50,000 vehicles and 11,000 planes. After a last ditch counterattack, known as the Battle of the Bulge, Germany surrendered on May 7, 1945.

In answer to the question in last week's column, the American flag on Aug. 14, 1945 was flying over the White House on the day the Japanese agreed to the terms of surrender. They didn't sign the formal surrender agreement until September of that year.

I wish to thank all the people of Molokai for their support of our troops in harm's way, and also thank you for your support of Molokai's veterans. If anyone has any questions, suggestions or news, please contact old Jesse at 553-3323. Everybody have a wonderful week, and remember old Jesse loves every person on Molokai dearly. So until next week, aloha.

CPR an Important Skill

Na Pu`uwai Native Hawaiian Health Care System held a Cancer Screening for the community of Molokai on May 2931. Participants attended an educational presentation, received individual cancer exams, and were given recommendations based on results.

Na Pu`uwai would like to express their heartfelt appreciation to the community of Molokai and those who participated. Special thanks to Queen’s Medical

My name is Luke Kikukawa and I'd like to make it known to people that I did not "save a life." I've gotten a lot of publicity about the article "CPR saves drowning child," that was in a recent Dispatch. I'd just like people to know that when I arrived on the scene at Ke Nani Kai, the father of the drowned daughter was already giving her CPR. When I came to them, I simply encouraged him and helped him with his compressions and while she was throwing

Don’t Talk Down on Fishermen I have concerns about Kalaniua Ritte’s comment in the May 20 paper in the story “Two islands, one Goal.”

We think it’s not right and true what he said about our Molokai fishermen. He said, “Fishermen no make good fish farmers. They looking at how for catch the fish.

We looking at how for grow the fish.”

Our Molokai fishermen would be one of the best people to have working in our fishponds and farming our fish. A fisherman is a true scientist in the ocean, because then they’re practicing their traditional rights, they see, feel, touch and catch with knowledge and wisdom from our kupuna.

We believe the children of this aina with genealogy background tied to Molokai should know better than anyone on our island how to malama our aina and

the people. The reason why is because our kupuna’s blood and their knowledge, the aloha spirit, still lives in us today. But Molokai is one illegially occupied island and we don’t have the power yet, like you, Kalaniua, to run a fishpond, so just remember, feed Molokai people even though you don’t know them and they live here, especially our kupuna. That’s what a fishpond was really made for. Feed the people (even the kings were just “people.”) May God bless you to please stop talking down on our fishermen.

What makes a great leader? Try to bring a positive vibe to all.

God bless everyone, Harrie-Ann Aki and Gavin Pelekane

Aloha is About Community Community is a body of people having common interests such as the common enjoyment of Aloha Spirit.

Imagine more than 7000 peeps on Molokai, just too blessed to be stressed and enjoying life. Enjoyment comes in the sharing of aloha with others. Enjoying aloha will spread like wildfire as soon as it passes 10 percent, the tipping point, or 700 peeps of our community. Let’s re-visit “ALOHA” as an acronym to give us a daily practice: “A” for Akahai – Kindness expressed with tenderness, “L” for Lokahi – Unity expressed with harmony, “O” for `Olu`olu – Agreeable expressed with modesty, “H” for Ha`aha`a – Humility expressed with modesty and the last “A” in Aloha for Ahonui – Patience expressed with perseverance.

Here are three recommended steps.

Step one in our daily practice is to focus on akahai. Start your day with kindness in some way or fashion. Start with a smile and then add a little friendly conversation. Step two is to be aware.

Throughout your day, be aware of other ways to be kind. The key, found in the

up.

It wasn't me who saved that little girl's life. However, the father knew CPR and that did save her. CPR is a very important skill to know and have. I'm very happy the father was able to bring his daughter back to life.

Academic Assistance Program Success HSTA News Release The Hawaii State Teachers Association, Molokai Chapter, has completed year one of a two-year grant to provide help for struggling students at Molokai High School. The program, held during the school’s College and Career Readiness time,

Opinion by Rick Baptiste

11

movie “Pay it Forward,” is to encourage the recipient of kindness to pay it forward to three people. Third step is expectation, your confident, joyful hope and desire of your future.

Expectation is very important as it is the strong belief that something is going to happen. Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.” And Steven R. Covey advised, “Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.”

In other words, when you are expecting something good or bad is going to happen it probably will. There is power in expectation to give us hope for the future. We want every young one growing up on Molokai to have great expectations, to have hopes and dreams of a great future. We want a community that will dream with them and encourage them every step of the way.

Every day and in every way we can be a blessing somehow, in some way.

Let’s work together and bless Molokai.

So remember, Molokai you are “too blessed to be stressed” and “aloha is about community”.
