rmed with GPS units, yardsticks and clipboards, Molokai volunteers and Oahu scientists spent three days last week peering into the island’s shallow south shore waters, looking for an invasive alien algae known as gorilla ogo.

The migrating algae, subject to wind and tides, has settled into Molokai waters and is threatening reef life.

“It can just take over an entire area and become the dominant species,” said Brian Neilson, aquatic invasive species biologist for the state’s Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR). “It overcrowds native limu, and it can grow over coral colonies and smother and kill coral.”

Before any removal efforts can begin, however, residents needed to identify the areas of the shoreline most under siege. Forty volunteers conducted a survey of the

location and density of the invasive algae, slogging through 14 miles of ocean and recording over 5,000 data points from July 13-15.

“I have never seen such amazing community support for a project,” said Neilson. “It really shows how passionate and dedicated the Molokai community is for their `aina.”

Recent concerns over gorilla ogo have turned into a movement.

One of the survey organizers, Office of Hawaiian Affairs Trustee Colette Machado, said she’d been hearing reports of increasing gorilla ogo on the east end. In March, five Molokai High School students presented their science projects on the effects of gorilla ogo and mangrove, two invasive species that inhabit Molokai’s south shore and foster each other ’s growth. Many residents at the presentation expressed their shock and agreed something had to be done.

A Stand-Up Weekend

t was a weekend of paddling races on Molokai, with Saturday bringing more than 100 athletes to the island for the Maui2Molokai stand up paddle (SUP) race.

“This is not just a testing area, this is one of the best courses in the world,” said race founder Rodney Kilborn, of Maui. People from all over the world come here to race, he said, and this year ’s crossing featured 104 athletes. That’s a big increase from the 18 paddlers that signed up six years ago, according to Kilborn.

The 27-mile course from Honolua Bay to Kaunakakai Wharf across the Pailolo Channel has gained acclaim as not only good preparation for the acclaimed Molokai to Oahu race that takes place next week but a world class event in its own right.

For six years straight, since the inception of the race, Connor Baxter has won, beginning his streak when he was just 14 years old. He completed the course this year in three hours 13 minutes.

the Maui2Molokai stayed on the island for another event the following day. The M4Molokai, a local race with an 8.5-mile downwind course from Kamalo to Hotel Molokai, welcomes SUP, one-man canoes (OC1) and twoman canoes (OC2) for its third year.

The event also featured a shorter family course for those wanting to get out on the water less competitively.

“We wanted to do a race that

brings people to Molokai, keeps people on Molokai, and is all about Molokai,” said Clare Mawae, one of the event organizers. “We want people to come and don’t just leave straight away.”

The Molokai race attracted 79 athletes, about 15 of which were from Molokai, with more than half a dozen countries represented. Molokai’s Ka-

Ant Trails

Nene O Molokai News Release

By Glenn I. Teves, UH CTAHR County Extension Agent Summer goes hand-in-hand with picnics, barbeques and ants. The summer heat and dry conditions will send them foraging for food and water, and this also means heading into our homes. There are two main types of ants: protein or fat eaters and sugar eaters, and there are a few who like both. In the wild, ants will forage for sweets by eating tubers, fruits or for high protein plant material such as seeds. In the home, protein eaters can be seen near the sink or stove feeding on spilled oil or fat, while sugar eaters will seek out candy, spilled sugar drinks and other sweet stuff.

There are two pieces to the puzzle in controlling ants. The first is finding what attracts them, and the second is combining this with toxin to kill them. Boronbased compounds such as Boric Acid powder are toxic to ants. However, some ant species are very particular about what they will feed on, so you may need to experiment with different proportions of attractant and boric acid, for example.

Based on field trials on Molokai, peanut butter is one of the most effect attractants for both sugar-eating and protein-eating ants but is ineffective if it goes rancid. It can be mixed with boric acid and placed in bottle caps around the home.

The fast-moving Long-legged ant is a recent arrival to Kaunakakai and was first found in Halawa several years ago, where it probably hitched a ride on a boat from Lahaina where it was a major pest in hotel rooms and swimming pools, clogging pool filters. Experiments found that combining three cups water, one cup sugar or a sugar compound such as honey or Karo syrup, and four teaspoons boric acid powder will control them. Mix it up and put into bottle caps and place them near where they’re seen.

Commercially available products to control sugar eating-ants include Terro, a

combination of a sugar compound that attracts them, and Boron-based compound that kills them. Terro can be applied to a small piece of cardboard and placed near where ants are seen. If you are dealing with a lot of ants, the solution would be to place baits stations in many locations.

To control protein-loving ants, Amdro is the most effective, and is a pesticide sprayed onto chopped soybeans.

Amdro was tested and developed on Molokai for ant control on pineapple in the mid-1970s and is still one of the most effective ant controls. Worker ants will feed on Amdro then carry it back to the hive where they will regurgitate it and feed it to the queen, killing her. In this way, you can kill the entire colony.

The good and the bad of Amdro is it’s broken down quickly by sunlight, so apply in late afternoon so ants will pick it up overnight. Enclosing it in a dark container can keep it working for over a year or when the ants eat it up. A bait trap can be made by gluing two bottle caps together, a large one on the top as a cover to protect the compound from light and water, and a smaller one on the bottom. First, cut two Vs in the small cap so ants can enter when the caps are glued together. Add two teaspoons Amdro into the small cap and glue them together. Place it where water cannot get inside. In tests on Molokai, Amdro was able to control ants in coffee fields for over a year!

Carpenter ants are difficult to control and are the larger ants you sometimes see in your house. It lives and feeds on cellulose such as cardboard and is not attracted to baits. The first step is locating the nest and sprinkling it with boric acid powder or removing the box and nest.

The kolea, Pacific Golden Plover (Pluvialis fulva), is revered in Hawaiian mythology as Koleamoku, a messenger of high chiefs, and was considered to be the embodiment of the god of healing. On their northern migration Kolea may have aided ancient navigators with the discovery of the Hawaiian Islands. Within a few weeks the kolea will make a transoceanic southbound migration between breeding grounds in Alaska to wintering locales as far away as Madagascar. Recent research using light level dataloggers have tracked kolea at speeds from 36 to118 miles per hour, and with an average flight between Hawaii and Alaska taking 40 hours.

Earliest returnees to Hawaii are typically females that may have experienced a failed nesting attempt or perhaps did not bond with a mate for the breeding season. Adult males normally appear by the end of August, followed by juveniles in October. The kolea is easily recognized by its bold black and white breeding plumage called “alternate,” however, this is lost by winter. Kolea are long-lived (20-plus years), territorial and annually return to the same location. This returning behavior was first recognized

by Max Schlemmer on Laysan Island, whose “Old Stump Leg,” a one-legged kolea, returned annually ca. 1900.

Many Molokai residents have named their distinguished winter residents and note arrival and departure dates on calendars.

Teaming with the students, Machado and UH Maui College Molokai professor Cheryl Corbiell set up a booth at the Earth Day celebration in April to recruit volunteers. They then worked with officials from the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to get volunteers trained and ready to study the shoreline in July.

“We don’t always agree on everything [as a community], but yet we can agree that the shoreline needs to be preserved and we need to know what’s in the water,” said Machado. “… We really must keep the ocean as free and as clean as possible.”

From Poke to Pest The brittle, greenish brown algae is believed to have been brought to Hawaii in the ballast tanks of ships, said Neilson. Back when stones served as ballasts, sailors would throw the stones onto the shore upon arrival, allowing anything on the stones to spread.

Gorilla ogo was first found in Hilo in 1971 and was brought to other islands for the purposes of aquaculture. It arrived on Molokai shortly before 2000, according to the DLNR’s website.

“It’s a very hardy, resilient limu that can kind of resist anything,” said Kirsten Fujitani, a marine fellow with The Nature Conservancy (TNC). “…

It spreads by fragmentation, so any small piece that breaks off can spread anywhere else. It can float with the current … and grow into a whole other colony of algae.”

While few fish feed on it, island residents initially saw it as a tasty addition to poke and other local foods, Neilson explained. However, its

growth was faster than human demand.

“Now we’re stuck with miles of gorilla ogo and it’s not really harvested to the extent to be able to keep it under control,” said Neilson.

To discover just how far along the shore gorilla ogo has spread, Local biologist Arleone Dibben-Young divided the shoreline into 38 sectors, each approximately a mile long. Community groups took charge of different sectors, joined by scientists from TNC and DAR. Volunteers walked parallel to the shore, stopping every 50 paces to mark a “waypoint” on the GPS. At each waypoint, they recorded the type and intensity of algae growth, bottom type (silt, sand, reef, gravel) and bottom depth.

“The beginning is always the hardest thing to do,” said local charter captain Clay Ching, who led a group in charge of 14 sectors from Hale O Lono to Palaau. “… I’m excited because of the excitement of all the other people.

People are coming for free. They love their `aina too.”

In some sectors west of the wharf, such as Palaau, the ogo is sparse in the sandy waters but can be found growing on the roots of mangrove along the shore. In some areas east of the wharf, like the waters between Hotel Molokai and Ali`i Fishpond, thick mats of gorilla ogo clog the silt-lined bottom.

Scientists also taught surveyors to identify and document hookweed and prickly seaweed, two other types of invasive alien algae that flourish around the ogo.

“Now we know what limu to maybe take out, and we can be more aware of what limus to not step on because it can [fragment and] spread,” said Aka`ula ninth grader Kekumu Helm.

“I never knew that and I used to walk all over the limu ogo all the time, but

By Clare S. Mawae The 2015 Poi Bowl Paddle Race brought an international fleet of competitors to Maui, including 13-year-old Alex Mawae from Molokai, who took first place in his division. Alex has been paddling the Maliko Run since he was 9 in many different conditions from light trades to raging storms, from flat seas to 6 to 10-foot surf and swells. This year was looking like another light wind trade day with some bumps to catch some glides in this 9.5 mile race on Maui’s North Shore Paddlers from Switzerland, Holland, Germany, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil , Canada and

Japan showed presence at the 2015 Poi Bowl Paddle Race. Connor Baxter, the current world champion, took the win and was so happy to be back home and paddling Maliko again.

Alex was slow off the start line but he took the honors of first boy across the line in an awesome time of 1:47:09 considering the light trade wind day. He got to paddle with his Youth in Motion team mates for both channel crossings from Maui 2 Molokai and Molokai 2 Oahu.

Each of the Team Youth in Motion also took first place in their divisions making this a super fun event and a great time for the team to come together.

Flood Risk Meeting for South Shore Residents Maui County News Release Residents of Kaunakakai and Molokai’s south shore areas are urged to attend a community meeting for those who may be affected by the new digital flood insurance rate maps (DFIRMs). The County of Maui, State Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will be holding the meetings on Molokai and Maui.

These new maps may impact residential flood risk ratings by changing flood insurance requirements when the DFIRM becomes effective on Nov. 4 of this year. The areas in Maui County that will be affected by these changes are Kihei, Waikapu, Kaunakakai and residents living on the south shore of Molokai.

now I’m just gonna be more cautious about it.”

Resident Candace Otsuka, who covered areas near Coconut Grove with the Kalama`ula Homestead Association, said it was “nice to be in area we live in and kinda take responsibility for that.”

While it’s not the first time gorilla ogo has been mapped along the island’s south shore, Neilson said it’s the most comprehensive mapping effort.

In 2009, he explained, the DLNR’s Cecile Walsh mapped a few miles east of the wharf and later led efforts to clear 29 tons of alien algae from the south shore, according to DLNR reports.

In addition to DLNR efforts, volunteers work with the nonprofit Ka Honua Momona (KHM) to clear about 2,000 pounds of gorilla ogo at Ali`i Fishpond each month, said KHM kupuna leader Mervin Dudoit. Other residents have said they try to do their part by picking up alien algae from the beaches near their homes.

Unlike on Oahu, where it’s distributed around the entire island, the ogo has fortunately only been found on Molokai’s south shore, said Neilson.

“At least it’s contained to one side of island,” he said. “We have a better chance to control it and keep it from spreading to other places.”

Finishing the Job Organizers said there are still 16 miles to be mapped. Corbiell said they’re aiming to start the second part of the survey on July 27 at 7 a.m. at Rice Patch. It will take DAR staff a couple of weeks to compile the data, and once the areas of highest intensity are identified, the community will be able to go out and start removal.

Dibben-Young, who’s in charge of writing the management and removal plan, said the plan is “about 80 percent

Residents living in these areas are strongly urged to attend these community meetings so that personnel there can help you determine if you will be affected by the changes, what steps you need to take, how to prepare for potential mandatory insurance requirements and other related matters.

The Molokai meeting will take place on Tuesday, July 28 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Kulana Oiwi Pavilion. All Kaunakakai and South Shore residents are urged to attend this meeting.

There will be a short presentation

by FEMA on the insurance program which will begin at 2:30 p.m. For more information on these public meetings please call either Carolyn Cortez, Avelina Cabais or Chelsea Rabago at the Maui County Planning Department at 270-7253.

complete” and covers safety, removal methods, equipment, data and permit requirements.

“It’s really amazing see how the community has mobilized,” said recent MHS graduate Sarah Jenkins, who, along with her sister Lily, were two of the students presenting on invasive species in March. “… It’s really cool to see all the different people in their own ahupua`a … do this data collection because they know how it’s affecting the area they live in and the south shore in general.”

Ogo has previously been harvested and given to local farmers for use in their fields as fertilizer. Machado said it’s something she wants to look into again.

“I’m hoping that the long-term impact is that I can engage homestead farmers in Ho`olehua to help take these invasive species, this gorilla ogo, as we remove it,” she said. Local farmers have told her that the mulch created from the ogo is excellent for growing sweet potatoes, a signature Molokai crop.

DAR Fisheries Technician Kendall Tejchma said even if the gorilla ogo migrates between now and removal, the surveys give the community an idea of which areas need the most attention.

The bottom type will also help predict which patches will stay put and which ones will move. Tejchma explained that gorilla ogo stays more rooted in nutrient-rich silt and rocky ocean floor but tends to float away from smooth, sandy bottoms.

“Empowering you guys to do it … is the most important thing,” she said of local community members.

“Because if you guys don’t protect it, who’s going to?”

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. Now I will conclude the story I started to tell you about last week. The Veterans Affairs Departments has a new, tough policy on the use of VA-prescribed opiates, and other pain medications. You must now see your VA doctor every 30 days, and give random, unannounced urine samples at the VA’s discretion. This policy has made it very difficult on Molokai’s veterans who suffer from chronic pain, and there is not always a VA doctor here to see. So what do you do now? There is nothing you can do until a VA doctor comes here and you see him or her.

I don’t believe that the VA thought out this policy very well before they decided to implement it.

The VA’s bad planning, and then not telling veterans about the new policy, created an extremely bad situation for our veterans who suffer from chronic pain. It’s a situation that should never have happened.

The VA’s medical department and their doctors very often, and without regard for their patients, were over-prescribing the addictive opiates and painkillers. Now they are trying to preserve themselves by swinging the other way and under-prescribing them, which created another problem for veterans. By under-prescribing the addictive opiates and painkillers, veterans were now getting no relief from their pain, and going into withdrawal.

That’s not a very good situation to be in, all because of bad planning and bad implementation of policy, and bad judgment by the VA. One man who is trying to help is Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who said at a hearing on June 10, that veterans at the El Paso VA were unable to get appointments to see VA doctors, so they go without or do something I hate to see: they buy their painkillers on the street.

O’Rourke hinted that the street drugs are becoming a growing problem with veterans. Why? Our U.S. veterans are suffering, and in some cases dying of suicide, and that is unacceptable.

Let me tell you people something, the brave men and women that have served this great nation, did the things the country asked without question.

Then to come home and be treated in such a deplorable manner by our country, and the VA, and their medical department, and doctors, is a slap in the face to those who should be treated with the greatest admiration, respect, and gratification of a very grateful nation and its people.

I wish to thank all the people of Molokai for all the information you give me, please keep it coming. I depend on you, and your information to write this column. Also please let’s all support our troops, and especially the men and women in harm’s way. Everyone have a great week, and remember old Jesse loves every man, woman, and child on Molokai, from my heart, you wonderful people are my family. I would also like to thank the people at the Dispatch’s 30th birthday party on Friday, July 3, who told me how much they enjoy my column, I thank you so very much. Aloha.

Thank you to our dedicated judges, Jeff Perrish, Mark Shima, Brian Lentz, Dick Wheeler, and Dan Bennett who make it a priority to serve our keiki every summer.

We would also like to thank Youth in Motion for the standup paddle board they donated, and Kekama and Ane Helm who provided lunch for our volunteers.

This year we celebrated our 26th annual event and the waves were perfect and the participants have the memories to prove it. We would also like to thank Peter and Minka Nelson who help us keep on task and the Bicoy Ohana for all their hard work as site crew, we couldn’t do it without you. Also this year we were fortunate to have the Kahokuloa Ohana help and inspire the children with their surfing skills and organizational efforts. Thank you again to all the participants and we look forward to another great competition next summer.

Me ke aloha, Molokai Keiki O Ke Kai and Friendly Isle United Fund

Walmart Foundation News Release The Kohala Center’s FoodCorps Hawaii has received a $25,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation’s Hawaii State Giving Council. The grant will help fund the FoodCorps Hawaii’s Healthy Food, Healthy Children initiative that addresses childhood obesity and food insecurity in underserved communities in 12 schools on Hawaii Island, Oahu and Molokai during the 2015-2016 school year.

“We are incredibly grateful for the Walmart Foundation’s continued support of FoodCorps Hawaii,” said Nancy Redfeather, director of The Kohala Center’s Hawaii Island School Garden Network, which serves as the host site for FoodCorps in the Hawaiian Islands. “Walmart’s support will enable us to provide Hawaii-specific training and professional development for our

FoodCorps service members and schools to deepen their knowledge and engagement with students, parents, and communities across the islands.”

The grants are made through the Walmart Foundation’s Hawaii State Giving Council Program, which provides grants, based on recommendations from the State Giving Program’s Advisory Council. The Walmart Foundation has an Advisory Council in each state, made up of Walmart associates representing local communities who help identify local needs within each state, review all eligible grant applications and make funding recommendations to the Walmart Foundation.
