Weather Cancels Channel Race

By Catherine Cluett | Editor

KULAIA: ONE COMMUNIT Y, ONE WA`A

F

or the first time in 35 years, the annual Na Wahine O Ke Kai women’s channel race between Molokai and Oahu was cancelled the evening before the race due to weather concerns. With a small craft advisory calling for swells up to 12 feet and a wind advisory predicting 35 mph winds with gusts up to 50 mph on Sunday, race officials made a difficult decision to call off the 41-mile crossing of the unpredictable Ka`iwi Channel. It will not be rescheduled this year.

“It is with heavy hearts that the Na Wahine O Ke Kai Committee announced the cancellation of the 2015 race,” announced the race’s Facebook page. “This decision was not come to lightly and was the collaboration of committee members, our kupuna, medical team, and official boat captains.”

This would have marked the 37th crossing and is the second time in the race’s history the event has been cancelled. The first time came in 1980 due to 30-foot surf and strong winds.

Hundreds of paddlers from Hawaii and around the world gathered last weekend on Molokai for the start of the event. Reactions to the cancellation were mixed, but most understood that safety has to come first.

“Good call. This is the only way to ensure everyone is safe!” commented one Facebook user on Na Wahine O Ke Kai’s official page.

“Please no! Please let us make our own decision!” wrote another paddler on the page.

While most commenters confirmed the sentiment “better safe than sorry,” many also expressed disappointment about not being able to make the crossing after months of training and in many cases, hundreds of miles of travel for the event.

For one group in particular, the race would have represented a first: three crews had registered in a new junior division for ages 16 to 18, the first time in event history that the race was open to women under 18.

Many paddlers worked hard to prepare physically and mentally for the renowned race, but every year, Molokai volunteers also put in great effort to make the event a success.

Residents worked together to haul dozens of canoes to the remote Hale O Lono Harbor in anticipation of the race.

This year, however, the cancellation will mean extra work. As of Sunday, local canoe club members who organize the hauling efforts said the canoes would remain at Hale O Lono until it was determined how many of them would be left at the harbor in anticipation of the men’s Molokai Hoe in two weeks. Those that will not be paddled by the men will need to be loaded onto trailers again and

ast Friday on the closed main street of Kaunakakai town, children spoke Hawaiian fluidly.

Community members pounded poi while shop owners told ancestral stories through their handmade crafts.

Hawaiian culture was alive and well at Molokai’s second annual Kulaia, a

celebration whose purpose was reconnecting with traditions of the past.

“I like the idea that it’s a historical event that we’re trying to revive in our own Molokai way,” said resident Pulama Lima. “… I think it brings our community together in a way that people look at us as this model of aloha and this model of why we still continue this life of subsistence.”

Molokai Joins Opposition to NextEra Merger

M

olokai residents voiced largely opposition two weeks ago to a proposed merger between Hawaiian Electric and NextEra, a Florida-based energy company. The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) is gathering public feedback on the proposed $4.3 million merger and will make a decision within the next six months. Molokai’s feedback, said Commission Chair Randall Iwase, has been in keeping with what they’ve heard so far around

An event that once accompanied outrigger races and national holidays in mid-1800s Hawaii, Kulaia was planned to accompany this year ’s Na Wahine O Ke Kai. While the race was cancelled the next day due to weather, paddlers and local families still got a chance to celebrate community and culture.

the state.

“The commission is not required to hold these sessions, but it was opinion of all three commissioners that it was important and appropriate to hear from the public,” said Iwase.

A majority of Molokai attendees testified that they opposed the merger.

“Big is not better any longer,” said Cheryl Corbiell, a member of I Aloha Molokai, a group that advocates for local energy

Why I fly with Makani Kai “It’s a lot more convenient than the hustle and bustle with the TSA,” says Willie,a tug engineer with Young Brothers. He asks his wife: “How long was I waiting in line at Ohana, 30, 35 minutes? The line stretched forever.” Dana says she likes Makani Kai because, “It’s family oriented. It’s a lot more laid back than the other airlines.” Willie continues, “And I never had a late departure with you guys…in fact we’ve left early a couple of times.”

ith an increasing demand for storage space and limited area for its vehicles, Makoa Trucking & Services plans to add a 1,920-square-foot steel warehouse at 40 Hio Place, across the street from Rawlins Chevron station.

Last Wednesday, the Molokai Planning Commission approved a Special Management Area (SMA) Minor Permit for New Horizon Enterprises, Inc. dba Makoa Trucking & Services. The project must begin no later than Sept. 30, 2017 and must be completed within two years of the start date.

Makoa Trucking Co-owner Chris Mebille said in recent years their expanding storage business has left less room for their trucking operations. The new warehouse would provide a place for truck storage and maintenance.

“We’ve never really had a home for our trucks. Guys have been working on the trucks in the dirt,” said Mebille. “I just want to be able to provide a warehouse where there’s a functional and safe environment for our employees.”

Owned by Mebille and Gordon Naeole, Makoa Trucking has offered transportation and storage services on island for nearly 15 years and currently has seven full-time Molokai employees. Mebille said the expansion could possibly create three

to five new job openings for drivers or mechanics.

“It’s a good thing they’re doing this because it shows that there’s some type of economy going on,” said the county’s Molokai Planner Sybil Lopez.

The company currently has a 55,677-square-foot lot behind Pizza Cafe, about 75 percent of which is dedicated to storage and the other portion of which is open space for trucks, Mebille estimated.

He added that for safety and practical purposes they want to move the trucks to the new lot, which encompasses 35,000 square feet.

“Our mini storage customers … come and we’re rolling big trucks through,” he explained. “[With the new lot] there’s no interference between the two.”

The estimated cost of the project is $240,000 according to Mebille. The company first needs to level the property elevation, and construction of the actual warehouse could begin within the next year.

The project is not expected to have any adverse effects on the surrounding environment. Project consultant and Molokai Chamber of Commerce President Rob Stephenson said that the company will follow the best management practices laid out by the county, which include requirements on the type of material used to pave the warehouse to contain possible oil or fuel spills.

Calling Community Reporters

By Catherine Cluett | Editor

A

re you a Molokai resident who enjoys writing, has a passion for your community and wants to become a part of The Molokai Dispatch team? We’d love to have you join us.

For the last decade, The Molokai Dispatch has fostered a thriving internship program that allows young journalists from around the country the opportunity to bring their talent to Molokai, work hands-on in a small island community, and in turn, provide the island with high quality reporting. As we prepare to celebrate our 30th anniversary, The Molokai Dispatch is also preparing to shift our model from interns to homegrown community reporters. We are grateful to the dozens of young people who have served the island through journalism, however we have decided to end the program, and instead, we would like to foster a team of responsible journalists right here on Molokai. We hope this decision will not only help support Molokai’s local economy but afford additional opportunities for residents to develop writing skills and build their resume to keep talent on the island.

As we look to the future, we want to continue the community support that has sustained us for three decades, and

PUC

take it a step further. Thanks to our regular community contributors, we are able to print a wide variety of information that is important to residents of Molokai.

In addition, we’d like to develop a small team of part-time community reporters who will take on assignments and work closely with Dispatch staff to provide the community with the same, high quality coverage readers have come to expect.

These community reporters should be passionate about Molokai, yet able to put aside their own opinions to report with integrity and objectivity. They should be committed to The Molokai Dispatch’s mission to serve the community, foster positive dialogue and empower residents to become more knowledgeable and active about what matters most to them.

This part-time opportunity would provide a small stipend and a flexible schedule but also require dedication and commitment. An interest in writing is a must, and skill can be developed.

The topics you write about may be directed by your interest and expertise but assigned by the editor. Please email Catherine Cluett at editor@themolokaidispatch.com to express your interest or learn more. Mahalo and we look forward to this new phase of The Molokai Dispatch’s community commitment.

towed out.

“We have never hauled them out before,” said Camie Kimball, a member of Molokai’s Wa`akapaemua Canoe Club, expressing concern about navigating the hills and dirt access road with lengthy trailers.

Race registration fees run each crew $800, and it costs $200 per canoe to ship from Oahu to Molokai, according to the event’s website, which doesn’t include transportation costs from their original destinations. Crews hailed from as far away as Japan, New Zealand, Samoa, Tahiti, Canada and the U.S. mainland.

The race cancellation was announced Saturday evening, and paddlers raced to arrange alternative transportation back to Oahu. Some jumped on escort boats that made the trip back, while others attempted to book flights. Many reported that tickets on Hawaiian Airlines, the event’s title sponsor, jumped from $89 to as high as $300 in the hours following the cancellation.

“We watched the ticket prices go up the hour after the race was can-

celled as 700+ women who were on the island for the race tried to get flights to Oahu,” wrote one frustrated paddler on Facebook. “Our tickets ended up being $430 for two tickets.

About 200 percent more than what it was to come over.”

Sunday morning, however, the airline announced it had added four additional flights for paddlers that day from Molokai to Honolulu, at a price of $89. Mokulele and Makani Kai flights also booked up quickly. Kulaia committee members also worked to help connect paddlers with flights and accommodations if needed.

While this was only the second time in race history the event was cancelled, it wasn’t the first time poor weather conditions were reckoned with.

In 2012, enormous waves battered canoes and escort boats as they left Hale O Lono Harbor. Called among the most brutal conditions in over 30 years of the race, the swell that day caused 10 canoes to flip, one to be seriously damaged and at least one paddler injured.

Na Wahine O Ke Kai cancellation policy lists adverse weather conditions, particularly with winds in excess of 25 mph or waves of 12 to 15 feet as ground for the race committee to call off the race in the interest of safety.

T

he Molokai Farmers football team made a long road trip to Hana over the weekend and came out with an impressive 87-14 win. Molokai is now 3-0 in league play and 4-0 overall.

The Farmers’ offense and defense was firing on all cylinders in the first half and they went on to a convincing victory. The second and third string offense and defense all got quality reps during the second half.

The halftime score was 60-7.

“Our team came to play tonight and they did well and I am very proud of them,” said Head Coach Mike Kahale. “…

Our defensive coordinator and all of the coaches on that side called a great game.

And our athletes … executed and that's all we can ask of them.”

Junior quarterback John-Michael Mokiao-Duvachelle threw four touchdown passes. Senior wide receivers Kaimana Kahale and Moses Espaniola both had two touchdown receptions each.

Senior running back Alden Abafo scored four touchdowns, including two long runs and one 79-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

“Both sides of the ball played good,” said senior offensive lineman Kuikamoku Han. “The offensive line made some good blocks and the running backs made good reads. The defense was able to get off the ball quick and executed well.”

Senior William Dela Cruz had a punt return for touchdown and middle linebacker Ena Victorino had a fumble return for a touchdown. Both also led the defense with strong games.

Hana scored their first points at the end of the first half on a long run by Isaiah Lind. In the fourth quarter they had a 10play drive that resulted in a touchdown by Sheldon Frias.

Kihei Charter, who Molokai was supposed to play on Oct. 17, has forfeited the rest of their games this season due to a lack of players. The Farmers will have to wait until they host a semifinal playoff game on October 24.

Park Program Connects Kids to Kalaupapa KNHP News Release Kalaupapa National Historical Park (KNHP) will be offering interested fourth grade teachers on Molokai the opportunity to have a Kalaupapa Interpretive Park Ranger visit their class throughout the school year. They will bring Kalaupapa to each Molokai school through fun and interactive lessons. This is part of the White House’s new Every Kid in a Park program.

The long term goal of this initiative is to educate and inspire the next generation of environmental ambassadors and stewards,” said KNHP Superintendent Erika Espaniola. “I'm excited for the NPS to bring programs into Molokai classrooms and share the importance of this very special place.

Fourth grade students can now go to everykidinapark.gov to complete an activity and obtain a free annual entry pass to more than 2,000 federal recreation areas, including national parks.

Though the pass is not valid for entry to Kalaupapa, it can be used to visit other national parks in Hawaii and across the US. In accordance with Kalawao County rules, access to Kalaupapa Peninsula is restricted and persons under 16 years of age are not permitted. The traveling Interpretive Park Ranger is an important part of the park’s new educational outreach program to bring Kalaupapa to topside Molokai.

“During the National Park Service’s centennial celebration, we want everyone to get to know their national

parks, and we’re offering a special invitation to fourth graders and their families to discover everything that national parks offer,” said National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis. “We hope these free passes for 4th graders will introduce 4th graders, their classes, and families to our national treasures, places where they can run and play, explore and learn.”

To receive their free pass for national parks, fourth graders can visit the Every Kid in a Park website and play a game to access their special Every Kid in a Park pass. Fourth graders and their families can then use this pass for free entry national parks and other federal public lands and waters across the country now through Aug. 31, 2016.

The goal of the Every Kid in a Park program is to connect fourth graders with the great outdoors and inspire them to become future environmental stewards, ready to preserve and protect national parks and other public lands for years to come. The program is an important part of the National Park Service’s centennial celebration in 2016, which encourages everyone to Find Your Park.

Every Kid in a Park is an administrative-wide effort, launched by President Obama, and supported by eight federal agencies, including the National Park Service.

To schedule a classroom visit, please contact Miki`ala Pescaia, Interpretive Park Ranger, Kalaupapa National Historical Park, at (808)567-6802 x1750 or by email mikiala_pescaia@nps.gov.

The Housing Choice Voucher Program provides tenant-based assistance in the form of a voucher to low-income families, seniors and persons with disabilities for rental units chosen by the tenant in the private market. The Housing Authority provides payments directly to participating property owners to offset the cost difference between tenant payments and unit rent. Program applicants choose from a variety of housing options ranging from apartments, duplexes and single-family homes to townhomes.

To better serve applicants and to make the application process available to all, including those who are least likely to apply, the entire application process is available on-line at www.waitlistcheck.com/HI004 or the County of Maui website at www.co.maui.hi.us.

COMMUNITY NEWS

KULAIA

Continued From pg. 1 Tents filled the street with the smells of garlic shrimp, barbecue chicken and warm malasadas as hundreds of people browsed local business merchandise or sat on the library lawn watching performers like Amy Hanaialii, Makaha Sons and Na Pua Ho`oheno. The festivity was reminiscent of years past when paddlers and residents camped together at Hale O Lono Harbor before big races.

“I think it’s awesome, bringing all the paddlers from all over the world and the community,” said Lisa Morgado of Kailua Canoe Club. “Together we can help support your economy here and have a nice time.”

Boosting the economy was one of the reasons for restoring Kulaia. At last week’s event, space was reserved solely for Molokai-based food and craft vendors, “to keep money on Molokai,” said Lori-Lei Rawlins-Crivello, one of

the Molokai Canoe Festivals Committee members who organized the event.

“It’s such an international race that we hit customers that we normally wouldn’t,” said Molokai’s Ane Batukis, co-owner of Kealopiko, whose organic clothing is inspired by Hawaiian plants and animals. “We’re always reaching new people and sharing stories with new people.”

Visitors and residents also heard the stories of cultural practitioners, who demonstrated the craft of making lei, pounding poi, turning awa into a beverage and giving lomilomi massages. Resident Josh Pastrana explained how the `awa root is cleaned, ground up and mixed with water. The drink has a calming effect that relaxes the muscles and the mind, he said, and is a healthier alternative to beer.

“It’s used a lot in ceremony but even socially. It [creates] a good place where people sit down and talk story about what went on in the day, if they had pilikea or problems,” said Pastrana. “We’re just carrying on the tradition of our kupuna and trying to pro-

WEEKLY EVENTS

The Molokai DispaTch • sep 30, 2015 • mote a little more healthy lifestyle.”

This year ’s event honored “wahine and the maternal energy of protecting, nurturing, and propagating our natural resources.” Speaking in ka `olelo makuahine, the mother tongue, Hawaiian immersion students described how the theme “Hina i uka, Hina i kai” reminded them of their mothers and grandmothers, and how everybody on Molokai as children of Hina, “together possess her maternal energy,” explained event organizer and Hawaiian language instructor Nahulu Maioho.

Students also placed kukui lei on Kukui O Kanaloa, a koa canoe that occupied center stage for the event.

“It symbolizes the mana of Molokai,” said event organizer Kawika Crivello. “That [wa`a] represented we as a people of Molokai welcoming the many other wa`a and clubs.”

In past Kulaia celebrations, ali`i were honored. The Canoe Festivals Committee carried on elements of this tradition by recognizing community leaders. They paid tribute to

6

the late Mel Paoa, a former Hokulea crewmember who was honored at last year ’s event, as well as kupuna Kauila Reyes, a respected kumu hula and preschool teacher. The 89-year-old Reyes performed an upbeat hula to rousing cheers.

Bringing the community together for Kulaia, visitors and residents alike, said Crivello, allowed Molokai to share its messages of aloha and sustainability.

“To share the message of who we are we had to put this Kulaia together again, to bring the paddlers and the visitors to come and meet the people,” said Crivello. “When you understand the people, you understand the message.”

Visiting paddlers said they appreciated the opportunity to celebrate with Molokai residents.

“We feel welcomed, it’s so lovely to be able to meet the locals,” said New Zealand paddler Tracy Gilmore. “It’s nice to have this time to connect all together. This race isn’t just about racing, it’s also about the traditions and values.”

Will

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The next seven weeks will NOT be a favorable time to fool around with psychic vampires and charismatic jerks. I recommend you avoid the following mistakes, as well: failing to protect the wounded areas of your psyche; demanding perfection from those you care about; and trying to fulfill questionable desires that have led you astray in the past. Now I'll name some positive actions you'd be wise to consider: hunting for skillful healers who can relieve your angst and aches; favoring the companionship of people who are empathetic and emotionally intelligent; and getting educated about how to build the kind of intimacy you can thrive on.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may have seen websites that offer practical tips on how to improve your mastery of life's little details. They tell you how to de-clutter your home, or how to keep baked goods from going stale, or why you should shop for shoes at night to get the best fit. I recently come across a humorous site that provides the opposite: bad life tips. For instance, it suggests that you make job interviews less stressful by only applying for jobs you don't want. Put your laptop in cold water to prevent overheating. To save time, brush your teeth while you eat. In the two sets of examples I've just given, it's easy to tell the difference between which tips are trustworthy and which aren't. But in the coming days, you might find it more challenging to distinguish between the good advice and bad advice you'll receive. Be very discerning.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): On a windy afternoon last spring I was walking through a quiet neighborhood in Berkeley. In one yard there was a garden plot filled with the young green stems of as-yet unidentifiable plants.

Anchored in their midst was a small handwritten sign.

Its message seemed to be directed not at passers-by like me but at the sprouts themselves. "Grow faster, you little bastards!" the sign said -- as if the blooming things might be bullied into ripening. I hope you're smart enough not to make similar demands on yourself and those you care about, Gemini. It's not even necessary. I suspect that everything in your life will just naturally grow with vigor in the coming weeks.

The Molokai DispaTch • sep 30, 2015 •

at this moment, for unknown reasons, it finally arrives in your conscious mind. I believe this is an apt metaphor for your life in the next week. More than once, you will suddenly tune in to facts, situations, or influences that had previously been invisible to you. That's a good thing! But it might initially bring a jolt.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The 20th century's most influential artist may have been Pablo Picasso. He created thousands of paintings, and was still churning them out when he was 91 years old. A journalist asked him which one was his favorite. "The next one," he said. I suggest you adopt a similar attitude in the coming weeks, Libra. What you did in the past is irrelevant. You should neither depend on nor be weighed down by anything that has come before. For now, all that matters are the accomplishments and adventures that lie ahead of you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A windbreak is a line of stout trees or thick bushes that provides shelter from the wind. I think you need a metaphorical version: someone or something to shield you from a relentless force that has been putting pressure on you; a buffer zone or protected haven where you can take refuge from a stressful barrage that has been hampering your ability to act with clarity and grace. Do you know what you will have to do to get it?

Here's your battle cry: "I need sanctuary! I deserve sanctuary!"

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your fellow Sagittarian Walt Disney accomplished a lot. He was a pioneer in the art of animation and made movies that won numerous Academy Awards. He built theme parks, created an entertainment empire, and amassed fantastic wealth. Why was he so successful? In part because he had high standards, worked hard, and harbored an obsessive devotion to his quirky vision. If you aspire to cultivate any of those qualities, now is a favorable time to raise your mastery to the next level. Disney had one other trait you might consider working on: He liked to play the game of life by his own rules. For example, his favorite breakfast was doughnuts dipped in Scotch whisky.

Veterans Corner Busy next month for vets

By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. The Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans (MVCV) board of directors had their monthly meeting on Sept. 16.

Watch commanders are will needed for Tuesdays and Wednesdays if someone would like to give four hours of his of her time it would be much appreciated. Duties are from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and involve answering phone and questions and being a good will ambassador for Molokai veterans.

Ted Johns asked it if was legal to drink alcohol at private parties at the Vet Center, saying he thinks we are losing potential customers if we cannot rent the hall to somebody who wants to serve alcohol. After a discussion, it was decided to check it out and then write a policy.

It was also decided to commemorate Veterans Day with a program on Wednesday, Nov. 11, which I believe is the proper thing to do. The next board of directors meeting will be on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 10 a.m.

A reminder than John Candello, Veterans Services Counselor, will hold an open house on Nov. 20 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and he will have some veterans specialists and a couple of VA lawyers to answer all questions and help if possible.

Also, Sen. Mazie Hirono will be having an open house at the Vets Center on Oct. 13 from 9:30 to 11 a.m. She is a member of the Senate Committee on Veterans Af-

fairs and she is very interested to find out the problems and concerns of our veterans and how she can help. Before the open house on Oct. 13 from 8 to 9:15 a.m. and afterwards from 12:30 to 3 p.m., the Molokai medical clinic of Dr. Carlann DeFontes, Nurse Practitioner Yvonne Geesey and the very capable VA clinic manager Alisha, alias Sunshine, will be hosting an immunization clinic to get your shots updated.

Now it’s time for the answer to last week’s question: Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th U.S. President, once said you have a row of dominoes set up and you knock over the first one and what will happen to the last one is the certainty that it will go over very quickly. What was he trying to explain to the American people?

He was trying to explain why he was sending aid and Marines to South Vietnam and why the U.S. needed to stop the Communists in that country. The date of that speech was April 7, 1954.

On this date in history, on Oct. 14, 1912, Bull Moose Party presidential candidate Theodore Roosevelt gave an 80-minute speech after being shot in the chest by an insane man in Milwaukee.

He recovered from the wound but lost the election. On Oct. 14, 1947, U.S. Air Force Captain Chuck Yeager, flying an experimental plane, became the first pilot to fly faster than the speed of sound.

Please continue to support our troops and let’s pray for their safe and speedy trip home. I love every man, woman and child on Molokai from my heart, you are all my family. Have a wonderful week.

How is Your Healthcare?

Amazing Support After Fire

Gov. Ige News Release

We always knew Molokai was special, but after the fire at our grandparents’ house on Saturday night, we are even more in awe of how amazing our people are.

A very special thank you to Officers Jamie Winfrey and Chucky Buchanan, and neighbor Zhander Fiesta, for rescuing our grandparents and Aunty Rose. Our grandma is a double amputee, so without the quick reaction of these heroes, the outcome might’ve been very different. We are forever grateful and could never truly thank you enough.

Thank you to our firemen for your quick and efficient work in putting the fire out and saving 90 percent of our grandparents’ home. Over 50 years of memories are in that house and it was comforting to know that most of it survived.

Thank you to our uncles, aunties, and community members who came out to help with the clean-up and restoration – Yama Kaholoa`a, Doug and Flo Bush, Travis Tancayo, Joseph Chong-Kalima, Sonny and Stephanie Friel, Del Gossert, Kyle Rosa, Lloyd Inouye, Sally Hammond, Earl Nakamura, Jamie Winfrey and her daughter Courtney, Jeanette Spencer, Lulu Linker, and Dicky Stone – as well as Billy and Ikai-

As part of a statewide effort to share health care innovation plans and get community feedback, the Governor ’s office will provide public briefings on Lanai and Molokai. Two health care initiatives meant to improve insurance coverage, health care access and coordination of care will be addressed in the following proposals: The state’s proposed waiver from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), developed with input from the Affordable Care Act Waiver Taskforce, which seeks to preserve Hawaii’s Prepaid Health Care Act while also complying with the federal health care law.

A plan to improve behavioral

health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and excessive alcohol consumption by incorporating screening and treatment for behavioral health needs with innovations in workforce, telehealth, training, and incentives.

This plan is being developed in conjunction with the Department of Human Services, Med-QUEST Division, and the Department of Health.

The Molokai meeting will take place on Oct. 2 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Kaunakakai Civic Center Room 105.

For more information, please visit governor.hawaii.gov/healthcareinnovation/public-notices-and-proposedplans/.

OBITUARIES

Walter Kahoiwai Dacuycuy Walter Kahoiwai Dacuycuy was born on Feb. 13, 1945 in Ho`olehua.

He was the oldest of four brothers: Pedro, Sam and George. He was a title setter and a horseman. He always had a way with animals. Many people in Maunaloa and the West End saw him as a horse whisperer. Several people have had the same story about their dog being skittish around people, but Walter would drive up and the dog would jump in the car with him as soon as he opened the door.

Walter was a very loving, caring and gentle man. He passed away peacefully at home on Aug. 10, 2015.

He is survived by his children Walter and his wife Renee, Craig and his wife Wendy, Denise Dacuycuy, Robert (Bobby), Robereta and her husband Bruce Hrycek. Walter had 12 grandchildren. Walter will be missed and remember by all who knew him. Services will be held at a later date.

Lahaina to Kaunakakai Kaunakakai to Lahaina DEPARTURE 6:00 A.M.

ARRIVAL 5:00 P.M.

ka Young, Bobo and Kamaile Alcon, Frank Borden, Kaunakakai Baptist Church, and Monsanto for all of your generous contributions.

A special shout out to Sid and Michaela for all your hard work. You two are truly irreplaceable, and we love and appreciate you both so much. Also, thank you to my (Jessi) babies’ grammy Zhan, papa Hanalei, and aunty Nicho for watching them so I could help too.

We’ve kept our grandparents away from the site as much as possible, so they don’t fully know the extent of the help we’ve received these past few days, but they are truly grateful for all of you. More importantly, we, their grandchildren, are grateful for all the love and kindness you have shown to these two very important people in our lives.

If we have forgotten anyone, please forgive us. We promise your help has not gone unnoticed. Three hundred fifty words are not enough, so thank you all again and again!

Jessi and Ikaika (Grandchildren of Rollie and Bea Moran)
