Volleyball Wins MIL Title at Home

HOORAY

FOR

LEI DAY

By Rick Schonely | Sports Reporter

M

aui Interscholastic League (MIL) boys volleyball teams gathered at the Barn last weekend to battle for the 2016 MIL DII Boys Volleyball Championship Tournament and the Farmers came out victorious. The Molokai Boys Volleyball team completed an undefeated season, 8-0, and won their first Division II title since 2005 by winning two matches on their home court.

The Farmers defeated Lanai in the semifinals on Thursday night in three sets 25-13, 25-22, 25-11 and then defeated Seabury in the championship game on Friday night in three sets 25-16, 25-22, and 25-17.

Molokai will now be the only representative from the MIL DII league and will be headed to the state tournament on Oahu.

Head Coach said he liked hosting the tournament, "Being the host and also winning in front of our fans, I mean winning in front of our family is a feeling that I can't explain," said Head Coach Hale Domingo.

"To see The Barn filled with all the love and support from our community was incredible.”

With only a few days of practice before the State Championships, Domingo said his team will be ready.

"My thoughts on states, no matter where they seed us we'll try our best to make Molokai proud.”

The 2016 New City Nissan Hawaii Volleyball State Championships will be held May 4-6 at Farrington and Iolani HS and the Blaisdell Arena.

n 1927, the first civilians to fly a plane from California to Hawaii ended their flight somewhat abruptly on Molokai in the branches of a kiawe tree. Their plane was wrecked, but Ernest Smith and Emory Bronte Jr. lived to tell the tale -- miraculously, without injury. The 25-hour2-minute flight landed Smith and Bronte

a place in aviation history -- and a newly installed roadside sign on Molokai.

The pilot, Smith, and Bronte, the navigator, took off from the Oakland, CA airport on July 14 in a Travelair monoplane named City of Oakland. Having successfully reached the Hawaiian Islands, they ran out of gas.

Why we fly with Makani Kai “We always fly with Makani Kai,” says Delfin, who was passing through the terminal with his daughter and granddaughter. “Everything runs smooth, the baggage comes out quick and there’s no more hassles.” Delfin, who does construction work and has been known to help elderly friends spruce up their homes for little or no charge, also likes the pilots, “They warn you ahead of time if there’s going to be a bump.” Delfin compared our service to the old Molokai Shuttle, “Everything’s convenient, just like the old days.”

“The students did a great job and represented Molokai very well in the MILs this year," said Maioho. "Each judoka left their hearts on the mat and exhibited their skills in a disciplined manner.”

Maioho is happy for the support his team has received, saying, “We would like to thank the community for all the support throughout the season, and hope that you will continue to cheer our judoka at the State Championships.”

The 2016 HHSAA Judo Championships will be at the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu.

Softball Earns State Berth

By Rick Schonely | Sports Reporter The Molokai High School Girls Softball team clinched a state tournament berth for the fourth straight year after beating Seabury Hall in the semifinals of last week’s DII softball championships on Lanai. Kysha Kawano pitched a one hitter and Cami Horner had a home run in an 11-1 five-inning win over Seabury Hall. Horner finished three-for-three and drove in a pair of runs for the Farmers.

The Championship Game was played on Saturday with Lanai winning the championship after beating the Lady Farmers in a close game 9-7. In the loss, Syd Rawlins homered and drove in three runs, Brooke Keliihoomalu and Tai Yamamoto each had three hits and Khalie Adachi and Cami Horner had two hits each.

Head coach Kawehi Horner said he is proud of the girls this season.

"This regular season has been a huge stepping stone for these girls in not only learning the game, but actually building character to be a great asset in the community and world!" he said.

"They did great and have a lot of room for improvement.”

“They played hard in the Championship Game and the game could have

HISTORIC SITE Continued From pg. 1

“We were exactly 24 hours in the air when we sighted Molokai and realized that our gasoline supply was exhausted,' Smith said, according to a Honolulu Star Bulletin article from July, 1927, published on the state's Hawaii Aviation website.

"We picked out what looked like the ‘softest’ spot in the island, made what we think was a successful landing under the circumstances, since neither of us was injured.”

When Molokai residents in the area rushed to the scene, the City of Oakland was entirely covered with limbs of the thorny kiawe trees.

"I’ve met many kinds of trees,” Smith said after climbing out of the prickles. “But this is the first time I’ve made the intimate acquaintance of these watchamacallits.

They are thorny and hostile but this old tree surely proved a godsend for us.”

The branches broke the plan's fall and provided cushion to both pilots, and though it wasn't as kind to the plane, Smith said he, "thought it was best to smash the ship in the tree where we would both have

the same chance of coming through to tell about it."

“It was sort of hard to have the ship wrecked after it had carried us so far, but we will never be able to fly her again," Smith said. "She is too badly wrecked to rebuild or salvage. But we’re going to go back to Molokai and salvage the motor if we can.”

Just two months before, in June, 1927, the first flight from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii was completed by two Army lieutenants in a C-2 transport plane. In May of the same year, Charles Lindberg became the first solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic from New York to Paris. While it was a period of many firsts, Smith and Bronte claim a place in aviation history as the first civilians to fly between California and Hawaii, concluding on Molokai.

For years, an old wooden sign had marked the crash's location between Kamalo and Keawanui, and the family of one of the pilots recently arranged for a new sign. It was created by local artist Lee Mott of Doc Mott Signs and installed last month.

Now, the metal sign hangs by the side of the road, marking these men's adventure and miraculous crash landing on Molokai.

Water Resources Commission on Molokai

By Aha Kiole O Molokai Three items were on the agenda on April 19 of the State Commission on Water Resources Management rare visit to Molokai. Agrigenetics Inc (Mycogen) for a Ground Water Use Permit, DHHL Molokai Water Plan and a briefing on Molokai Ranch's nine year old permit for Well 17.

Lots of testimony pro and con on the water use permit for Mycogen, and lots of confusion on the staff report resulting in a deferment of the application until further notice. Support came from employees and staff of Mycogen and concerns included negative impacts on the subsistence use of the Pala`au fishing grounds, the numerous fishponds and impacts on the DHHL water reserves for homesteaders. Three people asked for a contested case hearing on this issue.

The issue of Molokai Ranch's illegal use for the past nine years of Well 17 finally had a hearing with lawyers from Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation, County of Maui, OHA and DHHL asking for a new contested case hearing and Molokai Ranch objecting. Molokai Ranch also has no permit to use the Molokai Irrigation System (MIS) reservoir and water distribution system to get their water to Kaluakoi. The State will have to now decide whether to levy a fine against Molokai Ranch for nine years of non-compliance, start a new hearing or continue the nine year old hearing.

The water commissioners requesting better information on the future water use for DHHL so they can better protect the water reserves for future homesteaders.

Summer Enrichment Programs Molokai LIVE News Release UPLINK and Molokai LIVE welcomes all current sixth through 12 graders to its free summer programs June 1-30.

Although both programs are better known for their after school academic support and enrichment classes, they will be partnering to deliver a strong summer offering to the students.

In addition to academic, enrichment, and physical fitness classes, all students will be able to have free breakfasts and lunches provided by the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program. There may also be the option of students earning a ½ credit elective from Molokai High School and credit from Molokai Middle School for interested students dependent on attendance and completed classes.

The Berry Company, LLC, proud publisher of the Hawaiian Telcom Directory, is partnering with schools on the islands of Hawaii, Kauai, Lanai, Maui and Molokai to launch the #SmallBizBigOutcome recycling drive and environmental awareness campaign. The campaign runs through May 15, and is in conjunction with the 2016 Hawaiian Telcom Directory delivery on the neighbor islands.

Local schools on each island will compete to collect the most outdated telephone directories, which will keep the directories out of landfills through recycling. For the first time, all participating schools will receive a cash prize for their involvement in the program, and one school will win a grand prize. The grand prize winner will be selected based on book collection totals and efforts to engage and educate students about recycling and protecting the local environment.

“Berry’s recycling drive helps to protect the local environment, but also raises funds for neighbor island schools, and we’re grateful for the support from our local community partners that help bring this campaign to life,” said John Lambert, branch manager of The Berry Company in Hawaii. “We love seeing how students of all ages get involved and learn

first-hand the difference recycling can make.”

Hawaiian Telcom Directories are 100-percent recyclable. After the close of the contest, the telephone directories are shipped off-island for recycling. On Hawaii, Kauai, Lanai and Maui the materials =are converted into an array of new products, including building insulation, writing and copier papers, newsprint and paper towels. The directories from Molokai are processed at a waste-to-energy facility where they are used to generate a valuable source of renewable energy for Oahu. Recycling and environmental sustainability are important initiatives year round, so residences and businesses throughout Hawaii should check with their local recycling department for more information on recycling programs offered in their area.

For more information about reusing, repurposing and recycling, visit Berry’s online hub dedicated to spotlighting business and residents working to create positive change, SmallBizBigOutcome.com. There you can also find more information about the recycling drive, drop-off locations and hours, as well as a list of the participating schools and food banks.

building reading and math skills, both crucially important to students’ academic success in school as well as in preparation for college and careers. The program hours will be Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the middle and high school campuses.

MEO will provide free youth transportation from Kaunakakai to the school and back. Students will need to get an MEO bus pass from the MEO office to ride on the youth transportation buses.

Don’t miss out on an excellent opportunity to learn and “jump start” your Science Fair and National History Day projects, required during the school year while having fun together this summer. Registration and class information will go out to students during the week and can be found on MolokaiLIVE.com.

Moloka’i Porta Potties

FINDING OF NO SIGNFICANT IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS

On or about May 18, 2016 the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands will submit a request to the HUD for the release of funds under Title VIII-Housing Assistance for Native Hawaiians of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act (NAHASDA) of 1996, as amended, to undertake a project known as Kalama‘ula Residential Lots which includes development of planning, engineering design, post-design, and construction management activities for the construction and rehabilitation of single family dwellings. Administrative project elements include archaeological monitoring. The project also includes housing assistance, grants, construction loans, self-help technical assistance, down payment assistance, financial counseling and literacy programs, as well as community development services. The funding for Kalama‘ula Residential Lots is estimated to be $30,000,000. The project is located in Kalama‘ula, Island of Moloka‘i, County of Maui.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

The DHHL has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the DHHL Moloka‘i District Office (600 Maunaloa Hwy, Kalamaula, Hawai‘i, 96748) and the O‘ahu Office (91-5420 Kapolei Pkwy., Kapolei, HI 96707) and may be examined or copied weekdays 9:00 A.M to 4:00 P.M.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the DHHL Chairperson’s Office at P.O. Box 1879, Honolulu, HI 96805. All comments received by May 17, 2016 will be considered by the DHHL prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.

Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION

The DHHL certifies to HUD that Jobie M.K. Masagatani in her capacity as Chairman consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the DHHL to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS

HUD will accept objections to the Responsible Entity’s (RE) Request for Release of Funds and Environmental Certification for a period of fifteen days following the submission date specified above or the actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the RE; (b) the RE has omitted a step or failed to make a determination or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58 or

by CEQ regulations at 40 CFR 1500-1508, as applicable; (c) the RE has omitted one or more steps in the preparation, completion or publication of the Environmental Assessment or Environmental Impact Study per 24 CFR Subparts E, F or G of Part 58, as applicable; (d) the grant recipient or other participant in the development process has committed funds for or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before release of funds and approval of the environmental certification; (e) another Federal, State or local agency has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to HUD office at 1132 Bishop St., Suite 1400, Honolulu, HI 96813. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

Veterans Corner

Wrong to the inactive reserve, part IV

By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. Our government believes that assigning Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) members to reserve units would help integrate them into the operational force more efficiently and effectively. In fact, in 2012 the Army began assigning troops who were separating and shifting into the IRR to specific reserve units, without any authority to do so.

The Pentagon has argued for many years what is the best role for reserve personnel, is it a reserve that’s standing by for a World War III style crisis? Or an operational reserve that mobilizes and deploys regularly as it did during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars?

Susan Lukas, director of legislative affairs of the Reserve Officers Association, has said that the IRR future is in the balance with high level discussions at the Pentagon. She believes that a new IRR will be developed that is not a totally strategic or operational, but she describes as perhaps more of a “part-time” active force. IRR troops who face an actual recall to duty can submit paperwork to seek a delay or exemption for personal or professional reasons. In 2004 when the Army recalled 3,600 IRR troops to active duty to deploy to Iraq, about 30 percent applied for delays or exemptions. And 10

percent of the Army’s initial notifications via certified mail were returned because the address on file appeared to be outdated, officials said.

Even the military’s legal authority to force IRR veterans back into active duty is now in doubt. Those troops are not typically subject to the uniform code of military justice, so its in limbo as to how IRR recall notices can be enforced. With the rash of IRR mobilizations a number of years ago, some veterans avoided the orders simply by ignoring them, refusing to answer their phones or sign for certified letters. In October 2014, many veterans were shocked to learn that President Obama signed an executive order that many still believe was against law authorizing the recall of IRR reservists in case they were needed for Operation United Assistance, the mission to help stop the spread of the Ebola virus in West Africa.

So in conclusion, please think about this, and what the government has done.

In my mind, it's wrong, lying to the public, and sending U.S. reserves to Iraq and Afghanistan in direct violation of their contracts and only now the government want to change things legally, only now after the story gets out, they want to do the right thing.

I want to thank you for all the phone calls, and please keep that information coming, for without your help I cannot write this column. Remember old Jesse loves every man, women, and child of Molokai, you are my family.

LETTERS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

Support for Mules A Molokai institution might be closing, how sad. My sister and I traveled to Molokai April 18. We had reservations to take the mule tour to Kalaupapa on April 19. Imagine how disappointed we, along with 10 other travelers, were to find when we got to the barn that the tour had been cancelled! We were told it was due to conflicts with Damien Tours that they couldn't resolve and that they were likely closing for good. They had cancelled at least two other tours prior to ours. Most of the people I know who have gone to Molokai go there for this tour. I have been hearing about it for many years.

The closing of this business will have a negative effect on the economy of Molo-

kai, I'm sure. I'm 71 and will likely not get to Molokai again. I only hope that this tour stays in business so that others can enjoy it. In my mind it is what Molokai is known for.

Barbara Warnell Winter Park, Co. Editor's note: While the Mule Ride was temporarily suspended during the time referred to by the writer, the company has confirmed daily operation continues at this time.
