undreds gathered for this year's 25th annual Ka Hula Piko festival, held at the Kualapu`u Rec Center last Saturday. Molokai Ka Hula Piko began in 1991, and was founded by the late Kumu Hula John Kaimikaua, Halau Hula O Kukunaokala and the Molokai community.
Several days of cultural education and activities lead up to the festival, including an excursion to the sacred kukui grove Lanikaula at Pu`u O Hoku Ranch, and a kumu hula talk story discussing the origins and traditions of hula. Early Molokai mo`olelo tell of hula's beginnings at Ka`ana in west Molokai. Today, the event brings halau from around Hawaii to celebrate the traditions of hula and the oral
traditions that tell of Molokai as hula's birthplace. Pictured here, a halau of `opio from Queen Liliuokalani Children's Center in Kona shared a selection of Hula Kahiko (ancient hula) and Hula `Auana (evolved with Western influence.) Molokai's Aunty Loretta Ritte joins spontaneously in dance, while attendees could appreciate ancient arts such as kapa pounding, demonstrated here by Kanoelani Davis.

ast week, nearly 30 Molokai students were honored as winners of the 17th annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Poetry Contest. This was the first year Molokai youth participated in the event, and many shares their thoughts on peace in two languages, using many poetry forms such as haiku, free verse and metered rhyme. "We are holding this first Molokai peace poem ceremony to honor 26 winning students and also to highlight 57 out of 207 entrants [who] wrote poetry in the Hawaiian language with an English translation," said Melinda Gohn, the Coordinator of the International Peace Poem Project and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Poetry Contest, via email. "We find this to be an unparalleled linguistic event that must be celebrated!" Fifth grade student Kairee LimaVilla from Kualapu`u Elementary School was the grand prizewinner for the island, selected from the more than 200

entries on Molokai. Lima-Villa’s poem begins, “Peace can be seen/Peace can be felt/Peace is not war/but help…” LimaVilla concludes: “Peace walks the earth/ and it doesn’t stop/now peace can take you high/ and never let you down.”
Gohn said, “Lima-Villa’s poem incorporates our human emotions of belief and love with our ability to observe the world – and envisions peace as existing within and without us all. We are de-

Kapualei Ranch News Release Kapualei Ranch, one of the oldest ranches on the island of Molokai, was host to Tutu and Me Traveling Pre-School twice this month. In order to accommodate maximum visitors, two different tours were organized on Wednesday, May 25 and Thursday, May 26. Ranch Manager, Joey Lorenzo, was present to personally guide the visitors and oversee the arrangements. According to Lorenzo, the event was full of entertainment and excitement for everyone. “Kapualei Ranch has a tradition of giving back to the community in any manner possible. We respect all that Tutu and Me does and we did our best to provide an environment where they could come together and have a positive experience,” he said. Both days approximately 20 keiki, along with their families, were treated to the finest Molokai experience with activities such as a dummy roping demonstration. The groups toured the facility with Lorenzo to meet various ranch animals, such as horses, cattle, and chickens, and learn about tractors and farm equipment.
POEMS Continued From pg. 1 lighted to receive work of this caliber from Molokai Island." The International Peace Poem Project was started on Maui in 1996 and organized mainly by volunteer teachers, writers and artists. The Peace Poem began with the first lines written by a six-year-old girl and since then, has grown to more than 160,000 lines of poetry written by people from more than 120 nations. According to Gohn, its purpose is to express hope for peace in the new millennium. The International Peace Poem was presented symbolically to the United Nations in New York September, 2000 during its Millennium
Field trips are part of Tutu and Me’s monthly activities. As a group focused on better child development under effective elder’s supervision, Tutu and Me organizes a meet-up twice a week with an objective to offer interactive play time/ learning for our keiki. Lorenzo, who moved from the island of Kauai to join Kapualei Ranch in September 2015, expressed the will to continue this partnership with TuTu and Me and said, “Kapualei is truly honored to be the host to such wonderful people, and we would love to do it again in the future.” The Kapualei Ranch has been a unique part of Hawaiian and American culture since it was established in 1868. The story of this ranch goes back to 1853 when James Walker Austin was enlisted by Kamehameha III for legal issues in Hawaii. In honor of Austin’s work for the monarchy throughout the ensuing years, he was given land by Kamehameha V. In July of 1868, Austin began work on the ranch we currently enjoy today in Molokai. For more information, visit kapualeiranch.com.
Peace Day. The pieces written by Molokai students will be added to the Peace Poem. The event honoring Molokai students was held at the Molokai Public Library last Friday and attended by families as well as local dignitaries. Students winners received lei from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, certificates from state offices and a prize furnished by the International Peace Poem Project. "The purpose of the ceremony is to encourage students to seek to resolve conflicts through non-violent means and internalize these ideas through writing poetry," said Gohn. To read the students' poems and that of other youth worldwide, and for more information on the International Peace Poem Project, visit peacepoem.org.

Molokai Fitness What is the best drink? By Ayda Ersoy A recent study on more than 18,000 people compared plain water consumption in relation to energy intake and improved diet quality. It found that just by drinking more water, your calorie intake will reduce by 68 to 205 calories every day. Over time, this will give you great weight loss results! Approximately 70 percent of our body mass is water. We lose 1.5 liters every day just through our body's normal functions. If you do not replace this water, you will most likely get dehydrated. I suggest drinking at least 1.5 liters, ideally 2 liters, of water every day. If you're not drinking enough water, then some of the symptoms you may see include constipation, tiring, low energy, lack of focus, muscle pain, headaches, dry skin, cramping, increased hunger, cravings and mood swings. Let’s look at some of the other
benefits of drinking water. It help maintaining Ph levels in your body within the normal range of 7.0, in order to function properly. It will improve your immune system, so you can fight more efficiently against flu or other health problems. Water removes toxins and unwanted products from the body, and helps detoxification. It improves bowel movements and your digestive system, which also helps increase metabolic rate. It improves skin disorders such as eczema, dry skin, wrinkles and spots. Drinking water will also help you reduce the amount of other things you are drinking -- soda, sports drinks, fruit juice etc. I personally add lemon in my water, it gives it a fresh taste and increases my energy. Also I'd recommend using a water bottle or thermos, this will keep it nicely cool for you and you can easily measure how much you're drinking each day. Now, grab a big glass of cold water, and repeat at least eight to 10 times a day. Remember, a healthy life is a choice!

Veterans Corner The U.S. flag
By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. Tuesday, June 14 is Flag Day, and I hope that everyone on the island will have their flag displayed; I would love to see every building on Molokai displaying our flag. Who designed the original stars and stripes flag of the U.S. is a point never definitely confirmed. Was it Betsy Ross expert Philadelphia seamstress, or New Jersey Congressman Francis Hopkinson? The traditional story that Ross designed the original flag in 1776 has caught the popular fancy but no official record substantiates that story. Some U.S. historians claim that in June 1776, General George Washington, Robert Morris and George Ross, (Betsy's uncle) went to her Philadelphia upholstery shop. According to the story, they told her they were members of a congressional committee, showed her a rough design of a stars and stripes flag and asked her if she would make the emblem, she said yes and recommended making the stars five-pointed instead of six, and the change was approved. George Washington drew another design and Betsy Ross sewed the emblem. On June 14, 1777, Congress adopted it as the official U.S. flag. That is the Betsy Ross story, however some sources claim there is no official record of a congressional flag committee, and the only documented evidence naming Betsy Ross is said to be a voucher dated May 29, 1777 showing that she was paid 14 pounds and some shillings for flags she made for the Pennsylvania Navy. Recent historic research indicates Francis Hopkinson was a consultant to the second Continental Congress and is responsible for designing
the original stars and stripes. The name “Old Glory” was first applied to the U.S. flag by a young sea captain who lived in Salem, Massachusetts. On his 21st birthday, March 14, 1824, Capt. William Driver was presented a beautiful flag by his mother and a group of Salem girls, Driver was delighted with the gift and named the flag “Old Glory." Old Glory accompanied the captain on his many sea voyages. In 1837, he quit sailing and settled in Nashville, and on patriotic days he displayed Old Glory proudly from a rope extending from his house to a tree across the street. After Tennessee seceded from the Union in 1861, Captain Driver hid Old Glory by sewing it inside a comforter, when the Union soldiers entered Nashville on Feb. 25, 1862, Driver removed Old Glory from its hiding place, and carried the flag to the capitol building and raised it above the state capitol. Shortly before his death, the old sea captain placed a small bundle into the arms of his daughter and said to her “Mary Jane, this is my ship’s flag Old Glory it have been my constant companion, I love it as a mother loves her child, cherish it as I have cherished it." The flag remained as a precious heirloom in the Driver family until 1922, it was then sent to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., where it is carefully preserved under glass. Our flag may be displayed any day of the year from sunrise to sunset, and may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness. The flag should be hoisted quickly and lowered ceremoniously. The flag should not be displayed on days when the weather is inclement, except when an all weather flag is displayed. Remember that old Jesse loves al my fellow residents of Molokai, everyone, from the heart. Aloha, and mahalo.

Hope for Energy Future Opinion by Madonna Dizon I was fortunate enough to attend a renewable energy conference sponsored by Sust`ainable Molokai May 21-22. There were a number of brilliant minds in attendance from Denmark, Japan, Hawaii, and the mainland. Even Maui Electric Company sent a representative. Soren and Malene Hermansen, Director of the Energy Academy of Samso Island, were the facilitators. Samso is the world's 100 percent renewable energy example. What was unique was the offering of information without a push toward any specific renewable source. Soren and Malene stressed that the choice and decision rest with the people of Molokai. What struck my interest was the focus of the conference. That focus was to the benefit of all of Molokai by lowering energy cost (electricity) with a renewable energy source that would minimize the carbon foot print that is jamming up our world. There were many renewable alternatives presented. Two were of interest to me. First the step by step process undertaken to establish the Hawaii Island coop model headed and shared by Richard Ha. The greatest benefit is the people become the shareholders. They are the ones that get paid when money comes back. Electricity cost is lowered.

Second the proposed photovoltaic solar station to be set up on Molokai for Molokai that would incrementally be increased to 100 percent by Half Moon Ventures (HMV). This solar station would consist of panels and storage batteries, and would lower electricity bills. Rolling blackouts that generally hit east and west end would disappear. HMV will also put in charging station for Electrical Vehicles. No one's home nor electrical wiring is ever touched. Just cheaper renewable energy for Molokai on Molokai. Though Molokai downed any wind project, it would be remiss of me to by pass it completely. Soren Hermansen, Director of the Energy Academy of Samso Island did share with me that if Molokai owned 11 windmills, that would be able to generate enough power for Molokai. Owned by Molokai for Molokai, rather than owned by a corporation who wants to generate power for Oahu with zero benefit for Molokai. What I am proud of is the fact that Molokai remains vigilant in protecting the `aina and it's people. That kuleana is reflected in our purpose, lifestyle and culture. We move forth with our keiki's future in mind to embrace renewable energy reducing the carbon footprint that has been monumental to climate change in making islands disappear.
