Makani Kai Responds to NTSB Report By Catherine Cluett Pactol | Editor

ccording to a recent National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report, a Makani Kai Air accident off Kalaupapa in 2013 could have been preventable. But Makani Kai Owner Richard Schuman denies the statement, calling it "totally false." According to passenger testimony in the accident report, the Makani Kai pilot did not give a federally-required safety briefing prior to take-off. A video captured by one of the passengers during the crash also shows former Department of Health Director Loretta Fuddy, who died in the water following the accident, wearing an infant life vest. "If the pilot had provided a safety briefing, as required by Federal Aviation Administration regulations, to the passengers that included the ditching procedures and location and usage of floatation equipment, the passengers might have been able to find and use the correct size floatation device," the NTSB report stated. "The infant life vests were in the rear of the aircraft so one or two people didn't grab them out of the seat back in front of them, they grabbed them from the back instead," said P.J. O'Reilley, Makani Kai sales and marketing. "The fact is, every adult on that aircraft had an adult life vest available to them." Schuman said the only operating change the FAA has required them to make since the accident is to store infant life vests underneath the aircraft instead of the rear of the cabin. "If that was in place when those people went into the water, the infant life vests would have been in the belly of the plane, which is completely inaccessible, and two people would have gotten out the aircraft with no life vests at all," he said. "[The FAA] thinks that's an improvement; I think they're crazy." Now, if an infant gets on board, the pilot will give an infant life vest to the child's guardian, said Schuman. The NTSB report also addressed the compressor turbine (CT) blades in the engine , which were found to be fractured and showed heat damage in the NTSB post-accident investigation. The report cited a "discrepancy" between the engine manufacturer's recommendations and an FAA-approved safety standards program. "It is likely that... [if more stringent inspection had been completed]... possible metal creep or abnormalities in the turbine compressor blades might have been discovered and the accident prevented," stated the report. "The NTSB's statement, 'if Makani Kai had done X, this could have been prevented,' is a totally false statement," said Schuman. "We fired back [to engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney] saying, 'if you didn't provide a substandard product, we never would have gone in the water.' We were the seventh in-flight catastrophic engine failure in 24 months. Since then, Pratt & Whitney has changed their manufacturing processes." He confirmed that Makani Kai is currently pursuing litigation against the manufacturer.

Vaccinating Monk Seals By Catherine Cluett Pactol | Editor

ast week, biologists had a delicate and difficult job to complete in Kalaupapa: sneak up on sleeping young monk seals to give them a vaccine that could help save the endangered animals. The vaccine protects against a virus called morbillivirus, which causes measles in humans as well as the death of thousands of dolphins and seals in other parts of the world. With only about 1,100 Hawaiian monk seal living today, researchers worry an outbreak of the disease could be devastating, though it has not been reported in Hawaii. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says it will be vaccinating about 60 monk seals on Oahu, Kauai and Molokai this summer and fall. The vaccinated seals in Kalaupapa were recently-weaned pups. A booster dose of the vaccine will be administered about 30 days after the initial vaccine. Pictured here, Eric Brown, a bi-

Why I fly with Makani Kai Chevy, whose parents are obvious fans of Chevy trucks, says he likes Makani Kai Air because it’s, “Better, cheaper…and pretty fast.” When it’s pointed out that our airplanes are no faster than anyone else’s, he responds, “Yeah, but boarding and unloading are quick…no TSA.” Chevy, who boards at Kamehmeha Schools, loves to hunt when he’s home on Molokai, “Pigs, deer, goats…I just like getting out there.” A big baseball fan, Chevy’s ideal job would be to play shortstop or third base for the San Francisco Giants.

Basketball Clinic a Success

Food Hub Served Up Local Produce Sust`ainable Molokai News Release

NBC Molokai News Release Ninety local Molokai youth athletes took advantage of Northwest Basketball Camps (NBC) Molokai’s first ever basketball clinic series last week. A total of three free clinics were held at the Molokai High School Gym June 5-7, consisting of a coaching clinic and two, two-day youth clinics for ages 8 to 12 and 13 to 18. All clinics were lead by NBC Camps master coaches Shawn Stetson and Nikki Nelson from Spokane, Washington, and they were joined by several local coaches who graciously volunteered their time and efforts and together made these clinics a huge success. It was a great three days of learning, strenuous workouts, and improving overall basketball skills and coaching techniques. The participants were definitely challenged physically and mentally, and they all rose to the occasion while enjoying them-

selves on and off the court. NBC Molokai would like to thank all who came out for the clinics, worked hard and had fun. In addition, these clinics would not have been possible without those who volunteered their time and talents and to them we are grateful. Finally, mahalo to our generous financial sponsors and partners: Monsanto Hawaii, Friendly Market Center, Maui County, Hotel Molokai, Molokai Car Rental, Molokai High School, Kamoi Snack-N-Go, Friends of MHMS Foundation, and The “W” of Kauai. We are already looking forward to next year! For more information on NBC Molokai please contact Renee Kester at 808-651-5672 and don't forget to follow us on Facebook, facebook.com/NBCMolokai.

The Sust`aina ble Molokai Food Hub would like to thank all of the local farmers who supplied us with fresh produce for Kaunakakai Elementary School's Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program this year. This is a federally funded program, which allows students to receive a snack of a fresh fruit or vegetable two to three times per week, along with information on how the item was grown and its nutritional content. Due to the farmers' contributions and the school's collaboration, we were able to serve 50 percent Molokai-grown produce! This included Strawberry Papaya, kalo, carrots, Molokai Purple Sweet Potato, soursop, `ulu (breadfruit), and green beans. We were also able to use these funds to hire three part-time workers to help with the program (who were great!). This resulted in approximately $3,000 from the USDA going to our island farmers and service providers. It was inspiring to see the enthusiasm the kids had for trying these local products, which was a first time experience for many of them. One of the primary goals of this program is to expose kids to new fruits and vegetables, encouraging them to eat fresh produce regularly. Our hope is that they

will have fun with this program, enjoy the fresh snack, and that this will help lead to better eating habits and improved lifelong health. We would also like to thank everyone at Kaunakakai Elementary who contributed to the successful implementation of this program, including Principal Janice Espiritu, Cafeteria Manager Jonathan Espaniola and his staff, Parent Community Network Center Coordinator Hamau Howe, Lauren Kikukawa, along with all of the teachers who welcomed us into their classrooms. We hope to offer more local produce to all of the island's schools through this program, as well as local produce and proteins through the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. To do this, we need numerous growers with consistent production, so please let us know if you are out there, or if you are interested in growing for this program next school year. Schools may also contact us if you would like to work with us on getting more fresh local produce into your cafeterias. Our goal is to make these connections simple for both sides. If you're interested, please contact Harmonee at 560-5410 or harmonee@sustainablemolokai.org. Mahalo!

Molokai's Two Economies Opinion by Walter Ritte Molokai has two economies, one the cash economy and two, the subsistence economy. The rest of the islands have just one economy, and that is the cash economy. Traditionally, the Hawaiians had a subsistence economy that was self-sufficient and fed a large population equal to what we have today. There were no barges to import more than 90 percent of our food… we had food security. Today, Molokai has the skills necessary and the natural resources necessary to provide one third of all of our food needs for free. Our state constitution (Art. 12 sec. 7) protects our rights of access mauka and makai to get to these resources for traditional and subsistence uses. Fishing and hunting provide us with important protein, and planting kalo, ulu, uala and vegetables provide us with the important carbohydrates. We are creating a fishing management plan for much of the north shore of Molokai to insure our sub-

sistence economy for us, and our future generations. We have passed state laws of no selling of Hihiwai to protect this north shore food supply. Molokai is the only island that has a State governor's Molokai Subsistence Task Force Study (1994). We are now faced with the selling and commercialization of our deer, which was brought to Molokai by King Kamehameha V (Lot Kamehameha) some 150 years ago. This decision to sell deer meat will affect all of us on Molokai and cannot be made for the benefit of only a few. This decision needs to be made via a community process. The Aha Kiole o Molokai will begin a community process on June 28 with a hunting meeting to be held at Mitchell Pauole Center starting at 6 p.m. It will be important to hear the concerns and manaò of the five Moku (Kaluakoì, Palaàu, Kawela, Manaè, Koòlau). Information will also be given out regarding the history and facts of the deer on Molokai. We will invite state officials to come and listen to your concerns.

Caring for Honohono Orchids By Glenn I. Teves, UH CTAHR County Extension Agent Dendrobium orchids are among the most popular orchids in Hawaii because they’re easy to grow, flower profusely, and are well adapted to our tropical climate. Native to New Guinea, Southeast Asia, Australia, and islands of the southeast Pacific, a local favorite is Dendrobium anosum, also known as the honohono orchid. They are reliable Easter bloomers and have a unique growth cycle found in deciduous dendrobiums or ones that drop their leaves in winter as they go dormant or sleep for a season. After flowering in late March and early April, honohono will start their active growth through the summer months. This is when they enjoy water and fertilizer to boost their new growth. Balanced liquid fertilizers at low dosages of one teaspoon to a gallon monthly can be used to drench the plant and media. Some hobbyists will plant them near the kitchen window and drench plants with water used to wash rice, known to contain a hormone called cytokinins which can cause canes to elongate. The honohono orchid’s natural habit is to hang down, and they enjoy growing in hapu`u or native tree fern and attached to a tree which doesn’t drop its leaves so it can supply partial sun year-round. As they head into the cool months at the end of summer, its growth will slow down and leaves will start to yellow. This is their normal growth pattern, and some hobbyists will react to yellowed leaves by increasing water or fertilizing.

This is a mistake. Allow the plants to dry up and drop their leaves, and do not fertilize them. Plants will head into ‘hibernation’ during late in the year as they rest and build up their food storage in preparation for flowering. During this time, water sparingly just to keep them alive, especially during hot dry spring weather. If the weather is rainy, no watering is required. In the early months of the following year, buds will emerge as they prepare to display their beautiful white or violet flowers of many shades around Easter. Where flower buds don’t emerge, shoots or keiki will usually emerge. These canes or branches can be used to propagate more plants. Cut them from the mother plant and attach cane segments to a piece of hapu’u or fir bark so it doesn’t move around and can send its roots down. Treat keiki the same as mature plants by fertilizing and watering during summer months, then cutting back when plants start to yellow, signaling sleepy time for the plants. Some hobbyists will cut off older shriveled canes, but this isn’t necessary since the old canes can still provide nutritional support to other parts of the plant. There are many honohono relatives with similar cultural requirements, including miniatures Dendrobium parishii and bracteosum. Dendrobium bracteosum can be coaxed into bloom by putting plants in the refrigerator for a few days, which will trigger flowering. Nobile orchids are also similar to honohono, except most varieties prefer cooler weather found in Kualapu`u, Maunaloa and Kalae.

PUBLIC NOTICE COUNTY OF MAUI - HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM (SECTION 8) RE-OPENING OF WAIT LIST The County of Maui announces it will be accepting applications on-line for its Housing Choice Voucher Program Waiting List beginning at 8:30 a.m. on July 1, 2016 until 11:59 p.m. on July 15, 2016. Applications must be submitted on-line at www.waitlistcheck.com/HI004 except in instances of reasonable accommodation. Hardcopy pre-applications will only be available by advanced written request to the County of Maui. No applications will be provided at the Agency. 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. You may apply using any computer or smart phone with internet access. Someone else may apply for you if you need help using a computer and many public libraries offer free computer access if you are a library card holder. Status information regarding placement on the list will be available on-line shortly after the closing date. Instructions regarding obtaining status information are provided during the on-line application process. Applications can only be provided on-line or by advanced written request to the County of Maui. No applications will be provided at the Agency. Applicants must apply during the period the list is open for applications. Due to limited funding availability, applications will be selected and ordered using a random lottery system. Not all applicants will be placed on the waiting list. By randomly selecting the applications received for placement on the waiting list, the process is equitable. The time and date of receipt of the application online has no bearing on whether an application will be selected for the waiting list. There is no advantage to applying immediately after the list opens. The Housing Choice Voucher Program assistance covers the rent portion that exceeds approximately 30% of an eligible family’s monthly income. Any and all households may submit a pre-application. Acceptance and/or assistance are based on income verification and eligibility requirements. Maximum income levels, based on family size are as follows: Family Size 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Income Limit $28,200 $32,200 $36,250 $40,250 $43,500 $46,700 $49,950 $53,150

FINAL NOTICE AND PUBLIC EXPLANATION OF A PROPOSED ACTIVITY IN A FLOODPLAIN To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals This is to give notice that the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 to determine the potential affect that its activity in the floodplain will have on the human environment for Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act and Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant. The proposed project is located Tax Map Key parcel (2) 5-2-033:011 in Kalama‘ula, Moloka‘i, Maui County. The action will be use of federal funds to provide financial assistance for planning, engineering, designing, post-design, and construction a single family dwelling. Approximately 850 square feet of the one-acre lot is located in Zone A of the Flood Insurance Rate Map Maui County, Hawaii 1500030187F. DHHL has considered the following alternatives and mitigation measures to be taken to minimize adverse impacts and to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values: 1) Do nothing. This alternative would not meet DHHL’s mission to provide housing for Native Hawaiians. 2) Allow construction in the floodplain portion of the lot, but elevate structures above the base flood elevation. 3) Restrict construction of structures and grading in the portion of the lot that is within the flood zone. DHHL has reevaluated the alternatives to building in the wetland and has determined that the practicable alternative is to restrict construction of structures and grading in the portion of the lot that is within the flood zone. Environmental files that document compliance with steps 3 through 6 of Executive Order 11988, are available for public inspection, review and copying upon request at the times and location delineated in the last paragraph of this notice for receipt of comments. This activity will have no significant impact on the environment because it avoids the floodplain. There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information about floodplains can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by DHHL at the following address on or before Thursday, June 23rd: DHHL, Hale Kalaniana‘ole located 91-5420 Kapolei Parkway, Kapolei, Hawai‘i, and (808) 620-9500, Attention: Ms. Jobie Masagatani, Chairman, during the hours of 7:45 AM to 4:30 PM. Comments may also be submitted by mail to PO Box 1879, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96805, or email at Niniau.Simmons@hawaii.gov

LETTERS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

Honoring Sakadas I just came back from the Philippines after 30 day stay. This trip is a courtesy of my brother who wasn’t even born when I left the Philippines more than 70 years ago. When we reached the Philippines, I brought my brother to Fort Salamague where 6,000 Filippinos departed from. The plaque is dedicated to Sakada, and reads in part, "In 1946, the last wave of Filipinos departed from this point to work as sugar cane plantation workers (sakadas) in the islands of Hawaii, 6,000 men were ferried across the Pacific via SS Maunawili. They have to leave everything behind while aspiring for greener pastures. These sakadas have to instantly adapt to another culture while toiling immensely. Added to this, the longing they have to feel for their families left behind. It is a sacrifice beyond compare. It is only fitting and proper, that we, the descendant-generations of ben-

eficiaries of the Sakada Legacy, do hereby pledge to honor and venerate in memory -- their epic saga of sweat and tears, hard work, tenacity, resilience, endurance and sacrifices -- and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit: to remain alive -- enshrined, not only on this monument, but forever in our hearts." Because of the bold move I made to come to Hawaii, I didn’t forget who I left behind. I brought my brother to Hawaii and fortunately have achieved a comfortable life in Hawaii. To thank me for it, to show his appreciation, he brought me a ticket through Philippines Airlines. We intend to go to the Philippines every year as long as I can travel. I am already 88 years old.

Veterans Corner Does the President lie? By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news, and upcoming events. General Joe Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, presented four marines with Purple Hearts in the Northern Iraq on April 22. They were wounded in an attack by the Islamic state group that killed fellow marine and friend staff Sgt. Louis Cardin. A week later, Gen. Dunford was seated before the Senate Armed Services Committee listening to law makers frustration with the White House’s steadfast refusal to tell the American people that U.S. troops deployed to help Iraq in their battle against Isis were in actuality on a combat mission. When questioned by Dan Sullivan, Republican Senator from Alaska, Gen. Dunford refused to answer questions that were clearly intended for the White House. The General did not try to disguise what he was saying, that Cardin was killed in combat as was Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeling, a special forces soldier killed in Iraq last October in Operation Inherent Resolve, and also Navy Special Warfare Operator First Class Charlie Keating (Navy Seal) who was killed on a quick reaction mission to aid U.S. military advisers who were under attack in Iraq. When Sen. Sullivan questioned defense secretary Ash Carter, he backed up Gen. Dunford telling Sullivan that U.S. troops were indeed killed in combat. But Secretary Carter also tried bolster President Obama’s position saying that while

estock Expo

troops have been killed, the mission was to equip and train local forces so they could defeat the terrorist group without U.S. military support. To which Sullivan said well, "Which is it Mr. Secretary, were troops killed in combat, or on a training mission, you cannot have it both ways." Sen. Sullivan also asked “Can we not level with the American people?” and say U.S. troops in the Middle East are in combat. I have some questions myself, why is the President trying so hard to make it look like he is trying to keep America out of war, but building U.S. forces in the region, many of them being deployed to combat positions? The President has increased the troop total in Iraq to over 4,000 now, and is sending more. Why? The military has now created an operation Inherent Resolve Campaign Medal for troops who have deployed to defeat Isis. While the President continues to deny that U.S. forces are on a combat mission, but on a training mission, the American people know that he is lying and have no trust in him, and the way his advisers talk, I must believe that they feel that same way, they have lost faith in him. So why does he do it? Does he truly believe that he is not sending troops into combat, but on training missions? If this is the case, then I must ask if he is of sound mind, and truly have the mental capacity to lead our country? When our troops are in foreign lands engaged in combat with Isis, you cannot call it a training mission, American men and women are dying! Remember that old Jesse loves all my fellow residents of Molokai, everyone of one, from the heart. Aloha and mahalo.
