Community Plan Update Continues This Week By Catherine Cluett | Editor

he Molokai Community Plan that will guide the island's future is about to launch into its next phase of the update process: review by the Molokai Planning Commission (MoPC). After six months of intensive vetting, debate and suggestions from the Community Plan Advisory Committee that wrapped up in November, MoPC members will start their review on Thursday, Jan. 14 and continue over five scheduled meetings to wrap up on March 10. County planners say a big part of the review process is gathering public testimony, and the public is invited to offer input at each meeting. This week's opportunity starts at 3 p.m. in the Mitchell Pauole Center. The draft community plan, which will service as an update to the existing 2001 plan, is available for community review at the public library, as well as online through the county's website. The community plan is organized into 10 main chapters, covering a range of topics from land use and economic development to cultural resources and environmental resources. At Thursday's meeting, the commission will be reviewing the draft plan's first three chapters, consisting of chapter one, the introduction; chapter two, Molokai's Future; and chapter three, Natural, Heritage and Scenic Resources. The public is invited to offer testimony on these subjects. The next meeting is scheduled for Jan. 28 from 3 to 7 p.m., with location to be determined and discussion will cover chapters four and five -- Hazards and Economic Development. Following that, the Feb. 11 meeting at the same time, to be held in the Maunaloa Community Center, will examine chapters six and seven -- Land Use and Housing, and Community Design. Subsequent meetings are scheduled for Feb. 25 and March 10, with full schedule and upcoming agendas available on the county's website. Separate from the MoPC's review meetings, the Aha Kiole O Molokai has announced it will hold its own moku gatherings to discuss the Community Plan, and organizers say the purpose is to get additional community input as to what residents would like to see in the plan. the Aha Kiole's meetings will be held at the community centers in each moku from 6 to 8 p.m. Kalua Koì will be held on Jan. 21; Kawela will be on Jan. 22; Manaè and Koòlau is on Jan. 25; and Palaàu is scheduled for Jan 26. Following the Planning Commission's review culminating in March, the Molokai Community Plan update will be forwarded to the Maui County Council, which has one year to approve a final draft.

oth the Boys and Girls Basketball teams had a successful trip to Lanai this past weekend picking up two wins each. The Lady Farmers are undefeated on the season at 6-0 and the boys only have one loss at 5-1. “The girls did a great job both nights defensively creating turnovers and offensive opportunities," said Girls Coach Lee Derouin. "We continue to improve each week.” Boys Coach Mike Kahale was also pleased with his team’s performance also. “I was really proud of how the boys played on Lanai," he said. "We made great strides in terms of team chemistry and simply trusting in one another. This played out in more as-

Why I fly with Makani Kai “Since I’m just nine months old, my Mom, Raina, makes most of our travel arrangements,” says Aria. “But one thing we both agree on is we love to fly with Makani Kai.” Aria appreciates that her mom always seems to find free parking at our Honolulu facility and that mom’s happy when dealing with our people, “Mom says the service is great and, even though the Makani Kai people aren’t family, they’re like family,” says Aria. “Mom also likes Darrell at the Molokai Airport. She says he makes flying fun.”

Kalaupapa Preserves Heritage Trees By Leimomi Hooper and Carrie Mardorf, KNHP When people think about Kalaupapa, they don’t typically think of trees, yet Kalaupapa National Historical Park (KNHP) is home to hundreds of heritage trees that were planted by former patient-residents. Many of the historic trees have survived for 85 to 100 years with little to no work; however, as trees get older and near the end of their lifespans, they often need a little more care and support. To ensure the continued preservation of these trees, KNHP brought in two preservation arborists in December. Jamie Mcguane from the Olmsted Center for Landscape Preservation in Massachusetts and Christopher Ulrey from Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina travelled to the park to address the most immediate hazards and concerns with the historic trees. Both are preservation arborists by training, meaning they specialize in the care of heritage trees on historic properties. During Mcguane and Ulrey’s visit, they provided training to staff members interested in learning tree pruning techniques and chainsaw safety, so that staff can safely work on heritage trees in the future. One staff member who participated in the training was Leimomi Hooper. As an employee in the Cul-

tural Resources division, she does many tasks from invasive vegetation removal, to grave marker restoration, to rock wall repair, and now historic tree care. Hooper worked alongside Mcguane and Ulrey for two weeks, aiding with tree pruning and debris removal. “Amongst all the trees, two stuck out to me. One was the ylang-ylang tree, the only one in the settlement, and the only olive tree here in our park,” Hooper recalled. The ylangylang tree is located along Staff Row, and though it was a vibrant tree about four years ago, dense vines had entangled the tree, choked out sunlight, and competed with the ylang-ylang for essential nutrients. The olive tree located at St. Philomena was in a similar situation. Mcguane, Ulrey, and Hooper worked together to remove the invasive vines on the ylang-ylang and remove surrounding java plum and albizia trees around the olive. The ylang-ylang and olive were also pruned to remove any deadwood and other potential hazards. The tree work also focused on preventative maintenance and longterm protection of other historic resources.

rock walls were removed to prevent future damage. Unsafe and hazardous trees were also taken down as part of the work. Large invasive java plum trees were removed at Kahaloko Cemetery where branches often fall on grave markers and create hazardous conditions for visitors. Dead royal palms and dying mango trees were removed from around St. Elizabeth’s Chapel at Bishop Home to protect the restored building and ensure visitor safety. Hooper is working to

identify local sources on Molokai to replant the trees next to St. Elizabeth’s chapel within the next year. “It makes me very happy to preserve and protect these valuable historic resources,” Hooper stated. “With that I would like to say a big mahalo to arborists Jamie Mcguane and Christopher Ulrey. They have taught me different techniques on how to care for our trees. [In addition] I just like to thank God and the kupuna for giving me the support of being here in beautiful Kalaupapa.”

SCHOOL

Artist in Residence for Kualapuù School Kualapuù School News Release Kualapuù Public Conversion Charter School was selected to participate in a program called Art in Public Places – Artists in Residence (APP-AIR), which will implement an integrated visual art in education program, while providing commissioned works of art in public schools. This is a collaborative initiative between Kualapuù School, the Department of Education (DOE) and the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (SFCA). Funding is made available through the SFCA Works of Art Special Fund, under Section 103-8.5 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes. Program funds allow for the participation of approximately three school projects per year; Kualapuù School was one of the selected schools in 2015. Each project is budgeted with a maximum of $100,000 dedicated to hire the services of a professional visual artist as chosen by an Art Advisory Committee (AAC). The AAC, represents the larger school and community and is guided by SFCA through the process of selecting an appropriate site and style of artwork for their school campus. The AAC worked with the SFCA Board to select professional Oahu-based artist, Kazu Kauinana, who was just awarded the contract for this commission. The AAC will work with Mr. Kauinana to develop a concept for the commissioned work of art. Although the final materials for the

culminating work of art at Kualapu`u Public Conversion Charter School have not yet been determined, the sculpture will be made of durable and lasting materials. The budget for this project is paid directly to the artist in phases of development. There are five phases delineated in the contract, spreading over an estimated three -year period of the project. The APP-AIR project includes an educational component that is integrated into the school’s curriculum. In support of curriculum alignment, the DOE’s APP-AIR Resource Teacher coordinates and attends all meetings with the school and the committee. As part of this educational component, the artist will be providing a residency in the school for class instruction for a phase of the project. The AAC decides on the appropriate grade level or classes that will have the benefit of direct contact with the commissioned artist. During this part of the project, on-going support is provided to the artist and the school from the DOE APP-AIR Resource Teacher to assist in formulating lesson plans for teachers and students. Parents, students, and community members will have the opportunity in the future to meet the artist and attend a presentation given by the artist and SFCA. For more information about the APP-AIR Program, visit sfca.hawaii.gov/ art-in-public-places/artists-in-residence.

COMMUNITY NEWS

THE MOLOKAI DISPATCH • JAN 13, 2016 •

40 Years of Aloha Àina Protect Kahoòlawe Òhana News Release Forty years ago, on Jan. 4, 1976, nine persons landed on the island of Kahoòlawe as part of the A.L.O.H.A. (Aboriginal Lands of Hawaiian Ancestry) protest to draw attention to the injustices suffered by Native Hawaiians due to the illegal role of the U.S. in the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy. Six (Kimo Aluli, Ian Lind, Ellen Miles, Steve Morse, Gail Kawaipuna Prejean and Karla Villalba) were detained and escorted back to Maui by federal marshals. One, George Helm left with a journalist before the marshals landed. The remaining two, Noa Emmett Aluli and Walter Ritte, explored the island for two days before being arrested

and issued letters barring them from the island (which were later by-passed). While these two witnessed the needless destruction, they also experienced a pervasive spiritual presence. The Protect Kahoòlawe Òhana (Òhana) was formed to build a movement to "Stop the Bombing" and end all military use of the island. The tragic loss of two members, George Helm and Kimo Mitchell, in March 1977 as part of the ongoing protests, fueled the movement to persevere until the bombing was ultimately stopped on Oct. 22, 1990, 25 years ago. "I was proud to be guided by the kuupuna of the generation before us," said Aluli, a founder of the Òhana. "Building upon the foundation laid by George Helm before he passed -- it's been 40 years of working as an extended

family for Aloha Àina throughout our islands -- stopping the bombing of the island; healing the island; reviving the Makahiki ceremonies; opening access to our fishing grounds on Molokai; protecting our iwi uuupuna at Honokahua, Maui; defending Pele from geothermal development; working for Ea, our own self-governance, through state, national and international pathways." Looking to the future, the Òhana has worked with the Kahoòlawe Island Reserve Commission and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs on a plan, I Ola Kanaloa! Life to Kanaloa! to more fully restore the island and establish a cultural learning center. These organizations will work collaboratively with community partners to focus resources to stem erosion, restore native flora and

fauna and sustain a healthy marine ecosystem for the island. Significantly, an initiative to utilize the unique resources of Kaho`olawe to nurture the mastery of Hawaiian science, cultural and spiritual skills and practices will be launched. As part of the plan, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs has provided $129,100 to Kohe Maalamalama O Kanaloa - Protect Kaho`olawe Fund for the training of cultural practitioners as they engage in the stewardship of the island in 2016 and 2017. As provided for in state law (HRS 6-K) the plan envisions the island being part of the first lands transferred to the sovereign Native Hawaiian governing entity by 2026.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You love autonomy. You specialize in getting the freedom and sovereignty you require. You are naturally skilled at securing your independence from influences that might constrain your imagination and limit your self-expression. But here's a sticking point: If you want the power to help shape group processes, you must give up some of your autonomy. In order to motivate allies to work toward shared goals, you need to practice the art of interdependence. The next test of your ability to do this is coming right up.

THE MOLOKAI DISPATCH • JAN 13, 2016 •

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "I love kissing," testifies singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens. "If I could kiss all day, I would. I can't stop thinking about kissing. I like kissing more than sex because there's no end to it. You can kiss forever. You can kiss yourself into oblivion. You can kiss all over the body. You can kiss yourself to sleep." I invite you to temporarily adopt this expansive obsession, Libra. The astrological omens suggest that you need more sweet slippery sensual tender interaction than usual. Why? Because it will unleash sweet slippery sensual tender emotions and sweet slippery sensual tender thoughts, all of which will awaken a surge of dormant creativity. Which you also need very much. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Everything has been said before," said French author André Gide, "but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again." I am happy to inform you that you're about to be temporarily exempt from this cynical formulation. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will be able to drive home certain points that you have been trying to make over and over again for quite a while. The people who most need to hear them will finally be able to register your meaning. (P.S. This breakthrough will generate optimal results if you don't gloat. Be grateful and understated.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): "Nothing is really work unless you'd rather be doing something else." So said Taurus writer James M. Barrie (1860-1937), who created the Peter Pan stories. Your challenge and invitation in the coming months is to increase the amount of time you spend that does not qualify as work. In fact, why don't you see how much and how often you can indulge in outright play? There'll be no better way to attract grace and generate good SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do you want more fortune. money, Sagittarius? Are there treasures you wish you GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here's my proposal: Get in could have, but you can't afford them? Do any exciting touch with your madness. And don't tell me you have no experiences and life-enhancing adventures remain offmadness. We all do. But listen: When I use the word "mad- limits because of limited resources? If your answer to any ness," I don't mean howling rage, hurtful lunacy, or out-of- of these questions is yes, now would be an excellent time control misbehavior. I'm calling on the experimental part of to formulate plans and take action to gather increased you that isn't always polite and reasonable; the exuberant wealth. I don't guarantee total success if you do, but I rebel who is attracted to wild truths rather than calming promise that your chance to make progress will be higher lies; the imaginative seeker who pines for adventures on the than usual. Cosmic tendencies are leaning in the direction frontiers of your understanding. Now is an excellent time to of you getting richer quicker, and if you collaborate with those tendencies, financial magic could materialize. tap into your inner maverick. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Here's an excerpt from Dorianne Laux's poem "Antilamentation": "Regret nothing. Not the cruel novels you read to the end just to find out who killed the cook. Not the insipid movies that made you cry in the dark. Not the lover you left quivering in a hotel parking lot. Not the nights you called god names and cursed your mother, sunk like a dog in the living room couch, chewing your nails." I'm giving you a good dose of Laux's purifying rant in the hope that it will incite you to unleash your own. The time is favorable to summon an expanded appreciation for the twists and tweaks of your past, even those that seemed torturous in the moment. Laux doesn't regret the TV set she threw out the upstairs window or the stuck onion rings she had to sweep off the dirty restaurant floor, and I hope you will be that inclusive. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): "Modesty is the art of drawing attention to whatever it is you're being humble about," said Alfred E. Neuman, the fictitious absurdist whose likeness often appears on the cover of Mad magazine. I'm here to tell you, Leo, that now is an excellent time to embody this aphorism. You are in a perfect position to launch a charm offensive by being outrageously unassuming. The less you brag about yourself and the more you praise other people, the better able you will be to get exactly what you want. Being unegotistical and non-narcissistic is an excellent strategy for serving your selfish needs. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): "To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's," says a character in Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel Crime and Punishment. I don't agree with that idea 100 percent of the time. Sometimes our wrong ideas are so delusional that we're better off getting interrupted and redirected by the wiser insights of others. But for the near future, Virgo, I recommend Dostoyevsky's prescription for your use. One of your key principles will be to brandish your unique perspectives. Even if they're not entirely right and reasonable, they will lead you to what you need to learn next.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): "It's a terrible thing to wait until you’re ready," proclaims actor Hugh Laurie. He goes even further: "No one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready." His counsel is too extreme for my tastes. I believe that proper preparation is often essential. We've got to get educated about the challenges we want to take on. We need to develop at least some skills to help us master our beloved goals. On the other hand, it's impossible to ever be perfectly prepared and educated and skilled. If you postpone your quantum leaps of faith until every contingency has been accounted for, you'll never leap. Right now, Capricorn, Laurie's view is good advice. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Fate has transformed a part of your life that you didn't feel ready to have transformed. I won't offer my condolences, though, because I've guessed a secret that you don't know about yet. The mythic fact, as I see it, is that whatever you imagine you have had to let go of will ultimately come back to you in a revised and revivified form -- maybe sooner than you think. Endings and beginnings are weaving their mysteries together in unforeseen ways. Be receptive to enigmatic surprises. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Good news: Your eagerness to think big is one of your superpowers. Bad news: It's also one of your liabilities. Although it enables you to see how everything fits together, it may cause you to overlook details about what's undermining you. Good news: Your capacity for intense empathy is a healing balm for both others and yourself. At least potentially, it means you can be a genius of intimacy. Bad news: Your intense empathy can make you fall prey to the emotional manipulation of people with whom you empathize. Good news: Your willingness to explore darkness is what makes your intelligence so profound. Bad news: But that's also why you have to wrestle so fiercely with fear. Good news: In the next four weeks, the positive aspects of all the above qualities will be ascendant.

By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. With the new year of 2016 now upon us, I am going to give you my top five picks that I believe highlighted Molokai veterans' past year. In the number five spot, I have all the broken VA promises to repairs the issues that needed to be addressed by VA Secretary Robert McDonald and his subordinates. These issues are the VA Choice Card program, which is still not working as they said it would. It was supposed to help veterans get medical appointments in a timely manner of 30 days or less, by seeing non-VA doctors. Molokai veterans are particularly affected. Then there was the pain medication problems and scandals that broke at the VA Medical Center in Tomah, Wisconsin and Phoenix, Arizona with catastrophic opiate problems. The VA response was to set a new system for veterans to get their pain medication but neglected to tell veterans of the new program. So when vets started not receiving their pain medication, nobody knew what was going on. Some veterans were so in need of the medication, they bought it on the streets and in some extreme cases, veterans committed suicide. That is my pick at number four. Both issues still have not been resolved and it is my belief that the VA is simply waiting for veterans to forget about the issues. But Molokai's veterans

will not forget, and so it should be for all veterans. I give the VA a grade F on these two issues, because they do not seem to want to fix the problems. In number three spot, my pick is trying to get our veterans suffering with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) the help they so badly need, deserve and have earned. The big problem with PTSD is the VA doctors cannot agree on a treatment program and every VA hospital or center has a different treatment program. I understand it is difficult to treat PTSD and that every veteran is different and what works for one may not work for another. But PTSD has been around since the end of the Vietnam War. That's 50 years and I cannot help but think that doctors could come up with some type of acceptable treatment for veterans in need. I strongly believe there is a need on Molokai for a support group, not just for veterans with PTSD but for all veterans with a need. I have been lobbying the VA for a support group for Molokai over a year now, and I will continue to do so. One of my New Year's resolutions is to step up my efforts to get this accomplished, so the VA will be hearing from me frequently and in high volume. One this issue, I would grade the A with a C+, because I believe doctors are honestly trying. I will share my picks for numbers two and one next week. I hope and trust that everybody had a wonderful holiday season. Give old Jesse a call at 553-3323 and let me know what is your New Years resolution. Remember I love all of Molokai, you are my family.

She was born April 9, 1950 in Narvacan, Ilocos Sur, Philippines. She was a retired Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut factory worker in Keaau and also worked at Funk Seeds International on Molokai as a cornfield machine operator.

We would like to especially thank those who contributed $50 or more. Much thanks go to Monsanto, our primary business supporter, GT Auto (Glenn and Karen Takata), Kevin Misaki

When the scam of OHA came upon us in 1980, life was different. History will reveal that Na Kupuna O Ka Lahui Hawaii could not wait any longer for our corrupted Abbott & Costello government to dictate the process for "native Hawaiian self-determination" even though our retarded little monster is now a 2,000 pound Frankenstein! What a travesty of justice, 35 years of under mining our kupuna, and the silly "proposed rules" by our long lost "keeper of the key" even though there are over 150 statutes, special and political trust relationship with our kupuna, the "native Hawaiian"!

Hunter, Brennan, Duke, Colten and Treyton; brothers Juanito “John” Cabanting of Molokai, Hermanio Cabanting of Las Vegas, Felipe Cabanting of Lanai and Alvaro Cabanting of Lanai; sister Pacita Corpuz of Narvacan, Philippines; aunties, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. Visitation 5 p.m. on Jan. 15, 2016 at Nuuanu Memorial Park and Mortuary, service 6:30 p.m. Additional services on Hawaii Island on Jan. 19, 2016 at Dodo Mortuary, visitation at 6 p.m. and service 7 p.m. Also on Jan. 20, 2016 with visitation at 8 a.m. at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Hilo, mass at 10 a.m., burial to follow at Homelani Memorial Park. Casual attire.

band Roy Mason Horner Sr on July 3, 1970 and her beloved grandson Scotty Kaohua Furtado Jr. on March 29, 2010. She worked at Shingles Memorial Hospital in Hoòlehua, Molokai as a LPN and continued as a nurse at Molokai Clinic under Dr. Stevens. In the early 80s, Mary moved to Maui and worked at Kula Hospital as an LPN in the long term care unit until she retired 1993. Upon her retirement she moved home to Molokai to enjoy her golden years and found herself helping out with Zac’s Fumigation from her little home in Kualapuù. Services are scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 14, 2016 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Kalamaula, Molokai. Public visitation from 9 to 11 a.m. Services to start at 11:30 a.m. Burial will follow at Kanakaloloa, Hoòlehua, Molokai.

CORRECTION In the Dec. 30, 2015 Year in Review issue, the summary of “Molokai at Merrie Monarch” should have stated “the 30-year Kumu Hula Raquel Dudoit,” not “the late.” The Dispatch regrets the error.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE COOKHOUSE STAFF

This whole shameful episode "Na`i Aupuni" is because our long time political okoles, still refuse to acknowledge, Rice v. Cayetano, the scam is out of the bag, "breach of trust"! While this shameful scam has open the OHA trough to million dollar law firms. On behalf of Na Kupuna O Ka Lahui Hawaii, we call upon the people of Hawaii Nei that the time has arrived, the "piper" is tuning the ukulele. Samuel L. Kealoha, Jr. Ka`amola

Under The Christmas Moon by Father Pat Killiliea, St. Francis Church, Kalaupapa "Tiny bubbles in the wine make me happy make me feel fine. Tiny bubbles make me warm all over with a feeling that I'm gonna love you till the end of time..." Echoes of the late great Hawaiian crooner, Don Ho. As we neared the table of plenty at the state kitchen, John Arruda who had been busy greeting all the ladies, (at 91 he still has that mesmerizing Portuguese charm) looked over our table and said, "Where's the wine? I don't see any wine!" It was like the marriage feast of Cana all over again. Answering the call, I quickly hopped into my paddy wagon, sped down the hill to my house, grabbed a bottle of St. Francis wine as well as a bottle of Baileys' Cream for good measure, (I'm not planning on opening an Irish Pub) and armed with a bottle opener, hurried back to the feast. By this time John had a grin on his face like one of my orange tabby cats when it is time to eat. We were being treated to a magnificent Christmas dinner compliments of the Hawaiian Board of Health. Our celebration of the birth of the Savior had begun on Christmas at Kanana`ana Hou, our neighboring Congregational church. Rev. Richard Matsushita led the service assisted by

Richard Miller and Edwin Palepali. We heard hauntingly beautiful music by Richard and stirring piano accompaniment by Zianna Kaulia. Rev. Richard gave the homily and we all joined in singing at the top of our voices. Later we celebrated our first Christmas Mass and were led in singing by members of the St. John Vianney choir from Kailua, Oahu. Afterwards we gathered next door at Damien Hall for refreshments provided by the choir. The next morning dawned bright and early and so those of us with voices still intact joined in celebration of Christ's birth at the 9 a.m. Mass. The sun had long since slipped behind those majestic pali on the south west side when I stepped out onto the porch. I had hoped to witness the flight of the space station as it passed south of here traveling from west to east but the passing clouds hindered the view. Still, the full moon in all its golden glory lit up the night sky and illumined the normally dark lawn in front of St. Francis Church. It was a fitting and glorious end to a beautiful Kalaupapa Christmas day. "So here's to the golden moon and here's to the silver sea and mostly here's a toast to you and me!" Here's a toast to our Savior born in Bethlehem! Aloha

Did you know that help is on the way? I’ve seen how crowded it can get at our Honolulu terminal.

When we built our facility here, it was designed for helicopter tours only. We didn’t know then that one day we’d be offering airplane flights to Molokai.

And we sure didn’t think we’d get to the point where we’d have four or five airplanes coming and going at a steady pace all day. To help alleviate the crush, we’re breaking ground this month on a new facility, one that’s dedicated to the airline side. It’s going to be four times the size of our current building, purpose built to make your time here more pleasant and enjoyable. So, hang in there. You’ll soon have more than enough room to sit and chat in an environment even more comfortable than what we have now. Thanks to you, the people of Molokai, for making Makani Kai Air such a success.
