ast Saturday at Molokai’s Guzeiji Soto Mission, families gathered together to keep the memory of loved ones and the traditions of Japanese culture alive on Molokai. The island’s annual bon dance brought more than 100 residents and visitors together for lively drums, dancing and good food. “It’s a time of celebrating ancestors who have passed on,” said Marge Bento, one of the event’s organizers. “We’re kind of partying with them.” In an event repeated every summer in towns around Japan and places around the world, including Hawaii, community members smiled as they danced around the yagura, or bon dance tower, stepping to the beat of the heavily thumping taiko drums. Draped across the courtyard, pink and white lanterns fluttered with slips of paper, on which were written the names of loved ones who’ve passed away. According to Reverend Shuji Komagata, from Oahu’s Soto Mission of Aiea, the origins of bon go back to India, with a disciple of Buddha named Mogallana.
“Mogallana was known to have great powers to see. He had visions,” said Komagata. “In his dream he saw his mother suffering. She would try to grab food to eat and it turned to sand. She’d drink water and it turned to fire.” When Mogallana asked the Buddha what was wrong, Buddha explained that the disciple’s mother had done some less-than-honorable things in her lifetime in an effort to provide for her son. Mogallana, however, could relieve his mother’s suffering by making food for the monks and asking them to pray for his mother, which he did. “That selfless act of providing food for the monks to eat is a good deed, and by doing that he had dream that his mother was no longer suffering,” explained Komagata. “His reaction to this is that he began to dance around in joy.” The taiko drums in today’s bon dances, he added, build up the emotion and excitement, a beat you can not only hear but feel deep within. The Molokai bon dance culminated with a ceremonial burning of the paper strips at the end of the evening, symbolic of releasing the spirits of loved ones.

olokai High School’s athletes are members of one of the most unique high school sports leagues in the country—encompassing three islands and miles of ocean between schools. With a limited budget, teams have to make some tough choices each season over which games to attend, since most are a flight or ferry ride away. “For other schools to compete it’s a bus drive away, not across a channel,” said MHS Athletic Director Lee DeRouin. “… When we try to get teams to come here, they tell you it’s a cost issue.” Because the travel cost each weekend is unusually high, most of the athletic department’s money goes toward ferry and plane tickets, leaving room for little else in the budget. This season, DeRouin is looking to alleviate that cost through a new fundraising campaign called “Adopt-ATeam.” Community members or groups can select a team of their choice and donate money to help cover the cost of travel. The goal is to help cover travel costs so department funds can instead go toward equipment and uniform replacement, which teams currently fundraise for on their own. Ideally, said DeRouin, money from Adopt-A-Team would help get new uniforms for three teams every four years, a cost of $25,000. Uniforms for boys’ cross country are nearing four years old. Boys’ basketball uniforms are on their fourth or fifth year, and track uniforms could possibly be even older. Scotty Rapanot coached the baseball team last year, the second most expensive sport on Molokai’s payroll. “When I walked into the program last year, we had no money,” he said. “I had to start fresh. … But you gotta do what you gotta do.” He said parents worked hard to help the team raise money multiple times during the season, as well as a little extra when the Farmers took the MIL championship and qualified for states. DeRouin explained that Molokai’s switch from Division I to Division II nearly a decade ago created extra travel costs. Against more equal competition, the Farmers began qualifying for state tournaments more often. To send 95 athletes to states during the year would cost around $11,400, said DeRouin. While other neighbor island schools also have to scrounge up the money to travel to Oahu for state meets, it’s déjà vu for Molokai. “At some schools [the athletes] pay for their own state travel,” said DeRouin. “At Molokai High School it’s very difficult to ask these teams to fundraise for their own state travel after they’ve already fundraised for their own uniforms, equipment and, in some cases, their own preseason travel.” In addition because of the ferry schedule, teams sometimes spent whole Saturdays or even Sundays after games on Maui or Lanai, creating extra costs for

Why I fly with Makani Kai “Well, you can’t beat the price,” says Barbara, “and the best part is that it’s consistent.” Barbara, who is deputy director for the Queen Liliuokalani Children’s Center and makes frequent trips to Honolulu, says she also appreciates the fact that she can park her car for free in Honolulu when she goes home to Molokai for the weekend. “And I don’t have to go through all that hassle…it’s really like flying the way it used to be.” Thanks, Barbara, for making us your airline.

Shop Offers Design-YourOwn Apparel Something for Everybody News Release Something for Everybody celebrated its third year in business anniversary on Saturday, Aug. 8. There were #goodwaibes all around, food and music to be found and of course, something new going on. "This year s huliau (change in time) has lead us to grow and meet our customers’ needs by allowing them to be a part of their wear,” said owner Wailani Tanaka, referring to their addition of a custom designs and creations corner in the shop. "Here at SFE we’re big on products that are relevant to our customers and their lives, and what better way to find that than by allowing them to be a part of that design process of their apparel and accessories.” The store is now primarily stocked with brand new blank tops, bottoms, dresses, skirts, hats, even home decor and more that are all available for custom design from creation to print or press right in the store. The store’s space is also dominated now by its made on Molokai brand, Na Mea Molokai, that has grown to umbrella over a dozen local and Native artisans that Tanaka and her Na Mea Molokai crew have been traveling off the island to share Molokai’s lifestyle and spirit physicalized through their products. The shop has been designing, printing, supporting and collaborating for their made on Molokai line since 2013.
“When we faced a slope in our business last August due to a high saturation in the clothing market, we focused on what we still had, and that was our something that we offered from our island, our Na Mea Molokai line,” said Tanaka. For the last year and a half, they have attended Merrie Monarch Events on Hawaii Island twice, Kalo Festival in Hana and the Made in Maui Festival at the MACC and have even participated in California and Oklahoma events as well. Something for Everybody’s first Fall/Winter Fashion line was released at the first Annual made in Maui Festival last November, aptly named Aloha `Aina as homage to their aloha for their home valley, Honouliwai. Something For Everybody has found their niche and is ready to serve up all things Molokai with a heavy dose of the cheerful aloha spirit. Something for Everybody is located at the Molokai Center at 40 Ala Malama Avenue in Suite 201 (otherwise known to locals as “da shop above American Savings Bank”). Store hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays.

Recalling Kulaia History Molokai Canoe Festivals Committee News Release Historical records dating back to 1865 note Hawaiian outrigger canoe race competitions as one of the many events our kupuna took part in during annual la kulaia, days of festivities honoring the Kingdom of Hawaii and especially honoring our beloved monarchy. During that era, kulaia generally occurred once a year during a national holiday or birthday celebration of a mo`i (monarch). After the overthrow of our beloved Hawaiian Kingdom, kulaia festivities changed focus and no longer celebrated the Kingdom and monarchy. In historical records, we see the shift from national celebration to simply canoe race competitions. Therefore, pieces of our historic kulaia were lost and forgotten. In the early years of the Molokai Hoe along with the Aloha Festivals Ho`olaule`a at Hale o Lono, Molokai had its own ver-
ADOPT-A-TEAM Continued From pg. 1 lodging and food. It all adds up, said parent Kapua Falealii, who at one point had three kids playing multiple sports at the high school. “Every weekend somebody was going somewhere,” she said. “[It was] easily $100 a kid [per weekend].” On Molokai, what DeRouin called “the capital of fundraising,” many efforts vie for residents’ attention. It’s hard to ask people for money multiple times during the course of a sports season, said Falealii. She and her husband sometimes have to buy the products themselves to get the funding for states on time, then slowly sell them over time. Eight-player football is Molokai’s most expensive sport, costing $8,400 to take 25 players and coaches on three trips. In the fall season, girls’ volleyball also racks up a substantial amount, costing

sion of the historic celebration. The festivities lasted for a weekend with campsites from one end of Hale o Lono to the other and the spirit of `ohana and aloha radiated. Molokai `ohana, paddlers, visitors, spectators, and many others who came from the neighbor islands, outer states, and other countries all gathered together. In recent years, history was repeated; the idea of kulaia was forgotten, as the canoe races continued without the festival. Wanting to revive the spirit of the festivals here on Molokai, Molokai Canoe Festivals Committee, whose members share the vision of bringing back the festivals to our community and sharing the true Molokai aloha and hospitality to our visiting brothers and sisters of the paddling `ohana. This practice of kulaia is an important cultural tradition that connects us to our ali`i and our kupuna. Join us on Friday, Sept. 25, 5 to 10 p.m. second annual Kualaia Ho`olaule`a in downtown Kaunakakai.
$5,376 for 12 coaches and players to take four trips. Boys’ and girls’ air riflery costs $2016 apiece. Boys’ and girls’ cross country, totaling $2,352 for each team, is one of the more affected programs. Because cross country competitions require all athletes to run the same course at the same time, Molokai almost never has home meets and often misses most of the regular season. Travel costs for MIL competitions in all 15 sports total $83,440. “If they didn’t have to raise their own money, they could use it for preseason games and extend their traveling rosters,” said DeRouin, who’s coached both boys’ and girls’ basketball for Molokai. “… For what they do get [in funding] I’m very proud of the coaches and kids to be able to do what they do.” DeRouin plans to ask local and off island businesses for support, and added he’s available to speak about the program at community meetings. For more information on costs and how to AdoptA-Team, Lee DeRouin can be reached at 567-6950.

SPORTS
Continued From pg. 1 dividual title. “For me it just keeps me focused, and that’s how I shoot good.”
Girls’ Air Riflery Interest in the sport was overwhelming this season. More than 20 girls signed up, but because of limited equipment, they had to make cuts, said second-year girls’ coach Chinky Hubbard. The final team includes six returning shooters and three new ones. “We have all the talent and we just need them to shoot their best,” he said. Last season, the girls’ team finished fifth at MILs. Senior shooter Hiilani Kanuha qualified for states for the first time and is returning this year. The team relies on the experience of Kanuha, senior Keaa Davis, who Hubbard believes can turn in a strong individual season, and junior Sonja Angst, who had an “amazing” turnaround last year and is the team’s sleeper, said Hubbard. “Each of us encourages each other to do better and strive,” said Angst. “… [It takes] practice and more practice.” In air riflery, teams compete in the three categories of standing, kneeling, and prone, or lying down. Molokai’s first competition for both the boys and the girls will be a postal shoot this Saturday, in which all schools compete in their home gyms and submit their scores to the league. The teams travel to Maui the following week for a live meet.
Boys’ Cross Country To defend their Division II MIL title, Molokai’s cross country runners are literally going the extra mile. To prepare for threemile meets, they run up to five miles on short days and up to 10 miles on long days. They run repeats on the track that include a mile warmup, two rounds of 400-meters and one of 800 meters and a three-mile run. Head Coach Gandharva Ross said the boys are already in good condition and improving.
The Molokai DispaTch • sep 2, 2015 •
“It’s been a long time since we could do hill sprints and track repeats this early in the season,” said Ross, who has 15 years of experience coaching. “… We have a good group of boys. They’re committed, they don’t spend too much time goofing around.” The Farmers have little time to lose. Due to financial constraints they’ll only compete in two September meets before the MIL championships at the end of October, a yearly problem for sports like cross country in which every meet is away on Maui. However, the team’s lone senior, Keaolono Ross, sees it as an opportunity. “Not going to the meets also limits my opponents’ knowledge of my strengths,” he said. “They know that I run fast, but after this month of training after the races we [plan to attend], they’re not gonna know how fast I’ve become.” Molokai will attend league meets on Maui on Sept. 5 and Sept. 12.
Girls’ Cross Country Like the boys, the girls’ cross country squad also has their eye on states. To get there, they know they’ll have to be mentally tough for a season of hard running. “[It’s] believing that you can do it and let your mind run your legs,” said senior Jennifer Costales-Sanchez. “... Don’t worry about anybody else in front of you.” Head Coach Eugene Santiago said if his runners aren’t mentally ready, “when they hit the road, they’ll hit the wall.” In practice, the teams are mixing mental training with physical conditioning. Santiago runs with his team each practice to help give instruction and gauge each runner’s level of conditioning. He said this year is somewhat of a rebuilding season, but with the majority of the team being underclassmen, the program has “a lot to look forward to.” “It also depends on how much they’re willing to put in to achieving their own success,” he said. “I’m just here to kind of guide them and help them out. They have to make that choice and that decision.” The girls will compete on Maui Sept. 12 and Sept. 19.

Changing Times for the Molokai Ferry By Dave Jung, Molokai Ferry General Manager The Molokai Ferry has been running a fixed schedule for the last 27 years, operated by Sea Link of Hawaii. However, last year, airline travel from Molokai dramatically changed, and single engine aircraft are very fuel efficient and cheap to operate. With air fares down to $39, the ferry just can’t compete in this current price war. A new ruling by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) allows the ferry to change our schedule on a monthly basis and may cancel a voyage when the number of reservations is below 20 passengers on either segment of a round trip 48 hours before departure. Please make a reservation ahead of time when you plan to travel. We do not want to cancel any trips, but if we have to, travelers will be refunded for any cancelled trips. All reservations must have a valid contact phone number or email address as a means to contact a passenger in the event of a 48 hour cancellation. The real win for the ferry and for Molokai is that we are allowed to adjust trips on a monthly basis to meet passenger demand. It only makes sense to operate when people want to travel. In 1987, Governor Waihee asked Sea Link of Hawaii to operate between Molokai and Maui. He provided a subsidy during his term in office with the requirement that Molokai residents working full time on Maui received dramatically reduced fares -- $10 round trip at that time. In 1995, Governor Cayetano suspended the program. Sea
Link funded the program on its own and has been providing the reduced commuter fare with no state subsidy. Sea Link wants to continue to provide service to Molokai. Who knows how long the airfare price war will continue. Where is Go Airlines and their $39 airfare today? Sea Link also thinks our state or county should support Molokai with a ferry subsidy. An isolated community should have service to the rest of the state. A transit arrangement similar to the Maui or Oahu bus system should be funded for a ferry operation servicing Molokai. If there ever was an area that needs economic and job support, it is Molokai. For September 2015, we are planning four round trips per week originating on Maui. The September schedule will be Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, departing Lahaina in the morning at 6 a.m. and arriving on Molokai between 7:45 and 8 a.m. and in the evening, departing Molokai at 5 p.m. and arriving in Lahaina between 6:45 and 7 p.m. Check the newspaper or our website (molokaiferry.com) for times of operation. Mahalo to the residents of Molokai. Your support of the ferry has been crucial. If you didn’t support it during these tough times it would be gone. Also, a big mahalo to Maui Council Members Stacy Crivello and Mike White, Mayor Alan Arakawa, and especially Jo Anne Johnson Winer, Department of Transportation. On the State side Senator Roz Baker and Angus McKelvey have been just wonderful.

Girls Volleyball Season Opener at The Barn By Rick Schonely, Community Reporter
T
he Molokai High School Girls’ Varsity volleyball team dropped their first two games of the season last weekend when they lost to the Hana Dragons on Friday night 3-0 (27-25,25-21,25-15) and on Saturday afternoon 3-0 (25-14,25-15,25-16). “We have a young team this year but they played very well for their first games of the season,” said Head Coach Mahea Rawlins. The Lady Farmers only have two seniors on the team this year. Kysha Kawano is a four-year letterman and Rawlins said, “she is doing well and she is very coachable and she leads by example and is a good team leader.” Senior Cendall Manley is a three-year letterman and Rawlins commented that “she is a positive leader, both on and off the court.” There is a special bond between the Hana teams and the Molokai community, especially when it comes to volleyball, and

Rawlins said that whenever they travel to Hana, “they always take care of us over there and when Hana comes to Molokai we show them a lot of hospitality also.” “They are all family off the court but when it's game time it's time to take care of business and compete,” added Rawlins. The Lady Farmers will have a bye this next weekend and then will host the Saint Anthony Trojans on Friday, Sept. 11 and Saturday, Sept. 12 at The Barn in Ho`olehua. Photo by Rick Schonely

Changes to VA employee policies By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and people of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. Well, now that the Veterans Center has been officially dedicated and opened, it’s time to use the center, to fill it with veterans events during the day, and at night, to have fundraisers. Don’t let it sit empty, put it to good use. It was not built to sit empty. So let’s starting doing fundraisers and veterans’ events there. The House is rolling right along with legislation that would greatly increase the authority of top Dept. of Veterans Affairs officials to get rid of underperforming employees and put tight limits on the length of time for fired or demoted VA employees to appeal. It would also tighten limits to be put on paid suspensions, and House Republicans who back the bill say it would bring accountability to an agency that is in great need of it. Everyone knows that the VA has a lot of very real issues and it very been untruthful and have moved very slowly on what needs to be addressed. Those issues are an increased patient load of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans that will continue to increase for years. They also have a larger outdated and inadequate information technology systems that make scheduling,
treating and tracking patients an almost impossible task. In my mind, the solution to the problem is not to get rid of more people, but to simply give the VA the resources it needs to meet its quickly growing responsibilities, and to not create a separate set of federal employment rules just for the VA. The VA needs more employees, not less. It just needs the right skills in the right jobs at the right place, and it needs them yesterday. Capitol Hill needs to work with the VA, not against it. We are all involved in this together – the government, the VA and the veterans, and we must all work in rhythm and make the VA a well-oiled machine. On this date in history, Aug. 2426, 1992, Hurricane Andrew slammed through South Florida, killing at least 15 people, destroying 85,000 homes and causing more than $15 billion in damage. It was the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history to that day. On Aug. 27, 1999, scientists reported that for the first time ever, water in liquid form had been found in an object from outer space, a meteorite discovered in Texas. Please continue to support all our brave men and women in uniform wherever they may be stationed and pray for a speedy and safe return home, especially those in harm’s way. It’s time to say goodbye until next week to all the people I love, every man, woman and child on Molokai, you are my family. Have a great week.

Maoli Kingdom in Opposition
Celebrating Crowning Achievement
Maoli Kingdom opposes all the following proposals in the illegal occupied system in the State of Hawaii. 1. Title 13, DLNR: We need permits to go fishing, and we would get fines if we don't follow regulating rules they created in the Community Based Subsistence Fishing Area (CBSFA). Mass eradicating all our pigs, deer and goats without the need to let the community know, they can just go anytime when they decide. This already had passed in the legislature. 2. CBSFA, DLNR (Title 13): Tried to ask us as a community/North of Molokai, if they can control/manage the north shore of Molokai, negative impact rules and regulations for our Molokai people. 3. Aha Kiole, Aha Moku, DLNR, CBFSA: Tried to ask us as a community if they can play Konohiki (control, manage) us, by implementing Title 13 and CBSFA plans in their agenda. 4. Sand Domes, DLNR, CBFSA: Tried to ask everyone lives on Molokai if they can control the Papohaku sand domes on the west end. 5. Watershed, DLNR, CBFSA, Aha Kiole, Aha Moku (mountain to ocean): Trying to ask us as a community if they can control and manage all our resources, wrap a fence around watershed, and put security men around fence to protect the water.
With humble hearts we would like to announce our daughter Keani N.W. Rawlins-Fernandez’s crowning achievement for graduating from the University of Hawaii, William S. Richardson School of Law with her juris doctor degree and certificates in both Native Hawaiian Rights and Environmental Law. She also received the prestigious John S. Edmunds Award for Civility and Vigorous Advocacy, prior to graduating. While at this colossal task, Keani raised her two babies who attended Punana Leo O Manoa with the assistance and support of her husband, Makena. She has dedicated her degree to our island Molokai and all of her people for helping to shape her into the kanaka she is today and inspiring her
6. Puko`o Harbor: Asking us community if they can make a boat harbor at Puko`o. It will be destroying a cultural site that already has been destroyed, negative impact on our ocean and aina. 7. Water Supply, State, TNC: They came and proposed same as watershed, just in different hands. 8. Ka Honua Momona (South): Tried to ask us as a community if they can change our kupuna's moku system, disrespectful to our kupuna's history. 9. Kalaupapa- NHP, DHHL, DLNR, TNC, CBSFA, Watershed: Tried to manage and control by regulating us with their new laws, we have no article 12, Sec. 7 (no rights), and commercial use when last patient is gone. 10. Gorilla Ogo- OHA, DLNR, DAR, TNC: Trying to ask us as a community they need volunteers to help destroy our ocean by volunteering your signature and time to have a cooperation pump, to suck up everything in the ocean, mostly all our baby fish eggs. To be continued in a following issue. Much mahalo and God bless you all, Harrie-Ann Aki and Gavin Pelekane- Tamashiro

to always strive to fulfill her kuleana to the Lahui. We give honor and praise to our Lord Jesus Christ for guiding her and giving her the knowledge as she persevered through this time of her life and ask that He will continue to walk before her as she finishes up her master ’s in business administration, and take the bar exam. We look forward to Keani and her `ohana as they make their way home to Molokai sometime next year. Liko and Kana Wallace
