Benefit Concert Lends a Helping Paw

Fire Tanker Name Honors Beloved Island Kupuna

he island’s animals, treated by the Molokai Humane Society, will get a boost in funding this weekend, thanks to a helping wing from Mokulele Airlines. A benefit concert featuring Hawaii artist Anuhea will be held at Paddlers Inn on Friday night, and Molokai Humane Society (MoHS) Executive Director Hoala Davis said funds raised will support Humane Society operations.

"Our main goal has been to spay and neuter, and the majority of the funding would go to keeping the costs at $20 for cats and $30 for dogs," she said. "Over the years, the rates have increased for surgical costs, and the Humane Society has not increased our rates at all."

Because Molokai doesn’t have an animal shelter to house abandoned pets, Mokulele has jumped on board by assisting MoHS fly animals to Maui for adoption.

“At Mokulele Airlines we have a real soft spot for pets,” said Rob McKinney, president of Mokulele Airlines.

“When we learned that the Molokai Humane Society needed a way to get pets into the arms of their new families on Maui, we jumped at the chance to help. We’re honored to be a part of the amazing work they do for the community.”

Davis said Mokulele recently changed their pet policy, offering all pets to travel free of charge, which will also benefit Molokai animals needing emergency care off island.

“After hearing of our struggles, and seeing the clinic first hand, Mokulele offered to hold a benefit concert featuring Anuhea here on Molokai,” she added.

MoHS staff of three operates out of two renovated shipping containers with a generator for electricity. The organization has struggled to keep a full-time veterinarian on staff, and after the last vet, Dr. Susan Baillie, moved back to the mainland to be closer to family, Molokai is again without a dedicated vet. Davis said they try to bring in a visiting vet monthly, but “the services have been very limited.”

According to Davis, the Molokai Humane Society is under the umbrella of the Maui branch, which receives funding from county grants and acts as the Molokai organization's fiscal sponsor. However, Davis said they do not receive any financial support from larger animal welfare associations like the national Humane Society or ASPCA. "[The county] funding only covers our spay and neuter services... We keep these low cost so they are available and affordable to the community," she said.

"This is why fundraisers such as this benefit concert are so critical to our everyday operations."

A

new Fire Department tanker was given a special name last week.

During a dedication held last Wednesday at the Kaunakakai Fire Station, the shiny new vehicle that will carry water to fight island fires was unveiled in honor of the late Aunty Harriet "Nona"

Fukuoka.

"She was a heavy advocate for the Fire Department to the day that she died," said Molokai Fire Captain Hanalei Lindo.

He said Aunty Nona was the unanimous decision for the tanker to honor, bearing the middle name of its namesake, said Lindo. In large letters across the side

of the large, yellow vehicle, it now reads "Keaonaonalaulani," which means the "fragrance from the heavenly branch."

In Aunty Nona's words, Lindo explained, the name's meaning signifies the fragrance that lingers after someone walks by, the scent that persists.

Molokai Gets a Choice for County Council

Voter Registration Deadline Approaches

Keani Rawlins-Fernandez Campaign News Release

Office of Elections News Release hawaii.gov. They can also apply in-

In June 2016, Keani Rawlins-Fernandez officially filed her candidacy for Maui County Council to represent her home, Molokai. Keani and her two young children are rooted in the Molokai community as far as they can trace her mo`okuu`auhau (genealogy). She is a graduate of the William S. Richardson School of Law, where she received a Juris Doctor Degree and certificates in both Native Hawaiian Rights and Environmental law. She also received her Master’s Degree in Business Administration this past semester, right before moving home.

Her vision for a better future for her children and Molokai drove her decision to participate in local government.

Keani is a committed advocate who understands the delicate balance between economic development and environmental protection. If elected, Keani will advance far-sighted, progressive policies to ensure that our precious families are not priced out of Hawaii and that our environment is protected for future generations, as our kupuna had done before us. She believes that we need to invest in education, affordable housing, and

FIRE TANKER Continued From pg. 1 "This truck will live that fragrance of hope," said Lindo. "It's significant that the tanker travels the whole entire island."

Fire Chief Jeffery Murray said the sixwheel drive vehicle supplies water for the whole community in the case of a fire. It is the island's second tanker, and the first will now become a back-up or serve as extra resources during large fires, he said.

The new tanker cost about $703,000, and was paid for by the Community Development Block Grant program through the federal Department of Housing and Ur-

the local economy, in order to keep Maui County a place where the next generation can create a vibrant future for us all.

“I see becoming a council member as an opportunity to give back to the community that has given so much to me,” said Keani. “I want my children, and future generations that’ll come, to grow up on the Molokai and Maui County that I grew up in, and in order for that to happen, we need to protect our home.”

She intends to support initiatives that prioritize environmental protection, education, food sustainability, and affordable housing, and smart development. These policy efforts are important, as we see our families struggling to make ends meet at a time when Hawaii is ranked at the top for the highest cost of living.

Keani will hold her Campaign KickOff event on Thursday, July 21 at 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Molokai Community Health Center. Please join her for `ono food, `ono music and raffle prizes. She looks forward to meeting with you!

For more information, please visit her website at votekeani.com or her Facebook page at facebook.com/votekeani.

The Office of Elections and County Clerks of Hawaii remind voters that Thursday, July 14 is the deadline to register to vote in the August 13 Primary Election. To be eligible to register to vote, you must be a U.S. Citizen, a Hawaii resident and at least 18 years of age.

Molokai residents have several ways to register or update their registration. They can go online at elections.hawaii.gov by 4:30 p.m. on July 14. A Hawaii Driver ’s License or Hawaii State ID is required to register online. They can mail a completed Wikiwiki Voter Registration form to the Clerk’s Office postmarked on or before July 14. Forms are available at post offices, libraries and at most state agencies. The voter registration form may also be downloaded from the Office of Election’s website at elections.

ban Development.

Fukuoka, who passed away last November at the age of 72, was a crossing guard for 30 years at Kaunakakai School and knew all of the children by name, according to those who knew her. She was also a staunch supporter of the Fire Department, and served as the island's first Fire Commissioner. She tirelessly testified on behalf of new equipment for the fire station at County budget hearings, and at her final wish was to have firefighters be her pall bearers, said her family. Now her memory will live on in the lingering fragrance of lifesaving waters provided by the Fire Department in emergencies.

Davis said funds may also go towards launching a foster program for abandoned animals. Because the organization is not a shelter, MoHS has not been able to secure funding for that purpose, she said. Funds would cover supplies, food and medication to treat animals and prepare them for adoption. Currently MoHS staff often bring abandoned animals into their own homes to care for

person at the local Clerk’s Office by 4:30 p.m. on July 14.

Voters who have moved or changed their name since the last election will need to update their voter registration.

Molokai residents can also check their polling location, check registration status and view a sample ballot by visiting elections.hawaii.gov.

Voter registration has become even more accessible with the launch of the online voter registration system. Since its implementation in August 2015, it has processed over 20,000 transactions for new registrations and updates.

For more information about voting and the 2016 Elections, visit elections.hawaii.gov or call 453-VOTE (8683).

In partnership with Mokulele, Wind on Water Communications has helped organize the concert and create long term fundraising solutions by updating the MoHS website and logo free of charge, and releasing promotional materials, said Davis.

The July 15 concert will feature Anuhea and special guest MoBettah Band, and also sponsored by Hotel Molokai.

According to Mokulele, 100 percent of concert profits and donations will go towards MoHS. To purchase tickets to the benefit concert, visit molokaihumanesociety.org.

Makani Kai Air Expands Molokai Service Makani Kai News Release Makani Kai Air is expanding its daily round trip flights between Honolulu and Molokai beginning July 15.

Due to continued high demand, the airline is adding six roundtrip flights a day, seven days a week.

"We are encouraged by the growing support from the Molokai community," said Richard Schuman, president of Makani Kai Air. "The people of Molokai have embraced our service to the point that, on some days, there is not a single empty seat remaining.

That means that people who want to fly with us are forced to fly with Mokulele and for that I apologize.”

In order to accommodate the increase in flight frequency, Makani Kai Air just took delivery of another Cessna Grand Caravan, the company's fourth. It also operates a twin-engine Piper Chieftain.

"Our customers tell us they appreciate not having to go through a TSA line, and the $50 fare is also a great incentive to fly with us,” said Schuman.

“There's no guessing what the airfare

might be on a holiday weekend or any other time. It's always $50.”

Located at 130 Iolana Place along Lagoon Drive, Makani Kai Air is on the other side of the airport, away from the terminals and traffic congestion.

Handy parking is nearby, so passengers are encouraged to arrive just 15 minutes prior to departure.

Makani Kai Air Charters, an FAA 135 scheduled air carrier, was established by Schuman Aviation Company, Ltd., in 2009. The parent company also operates Makani Kai Helicopters.

The aviation company operates four Cessna Grand Caravan turbine aircraft, a Piper Chieftain twin-engine airplane, two Eurocopter AS-350 AStars, and two MD-500 helicopters.

Schuman Aviation Company, Ltd. is the only company of its type in the U.S. accredited by the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations. Makani Kai is also an FAA certified 145 Repair Station. Makani Kai Air has twice been awarded the Essential Air Service contract for Kalaupapa.

Molokai Fitness

Which fruit is the best for diabetes?

By Ayda Ersoy Type 2 diabetes is a growing health problem. But you can dramatically decrease the symptoms if you just pay attention to your nutrition and lead an active lifestyle.

In 2013, it was estimated than over 380 million people throughout the world had diabetes. Especially on Molokai, it is a huge health concern.

If you have Type 2 diabetes, the first step to decrease the symptoms is to lower your sugar intake. But at the same time you need to eat enough nutrients to nourish your body. So what about Molokai’s delicious fruits -- is it OK to eat papayas and mangos?

First, it is important to choose real fruit. Eating enough fiber plays a major role in managing diabetes. If your diet is high in fiber, it will help your body slow down the absorption of sugar, and this will help control your blood sugar levels. Many fruits contain high quantities of fiber and water.

But if the fruit has been processed, for example in fruit juice or canned fruit, then the fiber has been removed. So choose real, whole fruits.

It’s also important that you choose fruits with a low glycemic index. This means that they won’t have such a high effect on your blood sugar (although of course they will still affect it, so be careful with your portion size). Some examples of great low glycemic index fruits include apples, avocados (yes, avocado is a fruit), apple bananas, strawberries, blueberries, cherries, oranges, nectarines, peaches, plums, pears, kiwi and grapefruit.

Make sure you avoid, or limit the amount you eat of fruits with a high glycemic index. These include dates, watermelon and figs. Unfortunately this also includes mangos, and to a lesser extent, papayas.

So the answer is definitely yes!

Eating fruit is a great way to satisfy your hunger, and at the same time give your body nourishing and nutrient rich food. You just need to be careful which fruits you choose, and how much you eat.

I think the best advice to follow, whether you have diabetes or not, is from Michael Pollan: “Eat real food, not too much, mostly plants.”

By Glenn I. Teves, UH CTAHR Extension Agent The Black Witch Ascalapha odorata, one of the largest nocturnal moths in the Americas, with wingspans up to seven inches across, is back. Last summer, it exploded before tapering off last winter.

It can be seen hanging around on walls around homes in large numbers both day and night, but are known for their night moves. Much lore and myth are associated with it. In some cultures, it’s believed to be a harbinger of death, while in other cultures it’s believed to be a deceased relative coming to visit.

The Aztec people call it Mariposa dela muerte or Butterfly of Death, while the Mayan people call it Ma-Ha-Nial which means "May I borrow your house?" a name befitting for a moth who likes to frequent a wall in the garage or if given the chance, camp in your house. In Jamaica, it’s called the Duppy Bat due to its large size, "duppy" meaning "ghost."

This moth enjoys very hot and humid weather, and is found in Texas and other southern states, Mexico and much of the lowland areas of central and south America. Although they can be found year-round in Hawaii, it’s become more frequent for some unknown reason. September is traditionally their peak month.

It coiled proboscis will drill into and feed on ripening fruit, including banana, mango, breadfruit, figs and others.

The Black Witch belongs to a family of moths called Noctuids due their nocturnal habit. The immature stage

are black to brown caterpillars growing to more than three inches long and are known to feed on legume trees such as formosa koa, wattle, kiawe, shower trees, monkeypod and others. Caterpillars will hide under the bark during the day and come out to feed at night and are known to defoliate trees. The main predators of these caterpillars include Brazilian cardinals, mynahs, sparrows, and probably yellow jackets.

Males are larger and more blackish, while the females are more greyish. Pairs of circles on its wings look like eyes and are intended to scare away predators such as birds. The coloration for both male and female can be quite variable as colors change with age. Adult moths live about three to four weeks, and as they get older, their wings start to tear and colors fade, at which time they’re called "rags."

Storms often influence the movement of the Black Witch. In July 2003, hundreds, if not thousands of Black Witches were seen in the eye of Hurricane Claudette within the Caribbean off of Mexico. They are known to fly great distances and are believed to have flown to Africa from the Americas.

One way to slow the adult population is to cut off their food source by harvesting fruit before they ripen. Many of these seasonal pests will slow down with changing weather, or when predators increase or both. Another way is to ground them by swatting.

College Prep Program Success

UHMCM News Release Planning and preparing to attend college after high school can be challenging; however, there are very clear rewards for students who plan early and work hard towards achieving their goals while still in high school.

It also takes a great amount of support from the ohana to help these students along the way. To prepare Molokai families for the transition to college, UH Maui College, Molokai (UHMCM), the Queen Liliuokalani Children’s Center and the Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) partnered up again to offer a fourth year of Ke Kukui Mohala.

The main goal of the program is to support families in the process of preparing Molokai High School seniors to successfully achieve their post-secondary goals and objectives.

“Professional Services At Reasonable Prices”

Veterans Corner

By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. As the saying goes, “times are changing,” and women Marines are joining the Infantry, and hell as not frozen over, but some Marines may be rolling in their graves. The Marine Corps has approved requests by two women to move into Infantry military occupational specialties; one woman has been approved to become a rifleman, and another to become a machine gunner, said Capt. Philip Kulczewski, a Marine spokesman at the Pentagon. The gender integration plan requires that two female officers or staff noncommissioned be assigned to the unit 90 days prior to any women joining them, and no women have yet graduated from the services infantry officer course. Beginning this month, a training team will visit Marine Corps installations to explain the services gender plan.

One of the most time honored phrases in the Marine Corps “every Marine is a rifleman” is about to be updated as the service’s top leaders consider new gender neutral job titles for all positions.

Kulczewski said that new gender neutral job titles for all positions are being reviewed. A “Navy Yeoman” for example could be changed to something like “Administrative Specialist." It really makes me think, why are we doing this?

Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Ronald Green said that once Marines hit the fleet, they are free to move into ground combat jobs as long as they can

meet new gender neutral requirements.

Those are the things we have to do, male or female, if you can carry it, if you can do what the Marine Corps standards say you must be able to do, then you can do the job. Right now, there are a much greater number of women that dropout of combat MOS’s schools than graduate. Those two women are the only two graduates that I know of. At this point not many prospective female Marines or females in any branch of the military are showing interest in training to join the infantry after boot camp. Military officials have attributed that to a lack of interest among women to serve in ground combat jobs or to the rigorous physical standards associated with joining infantry MOS’s.

This old Marine believes those military officials are just being polite with their words, not wanting to step on toes, so I will go a little farther. I believe that the female generation that wanted to go to combat have discovered that combat is not fun, it is very serious business, and the rigors of ground combat are beyond the scope of your comprehension, unless you have been there, and I like many other men from Molokai have been there, and can tell you. I believe that women are now finding that maybe just maybe combat jobs was the wrong thing to wish for, remember the old adage “be careful what you wish for, you just might get it”.

If you have any information that I can use for this column please give old Jesse a call at 553-3323. Remember old Jesse loves every man, women, and child on Molokai from my heart you are my family always. Aloha and mahalo.

The Molokai DispaTch • July 13, 2016 •

Sust`aina ble Molokai News Release

Susan Cooke Harrington Susan Cooke Harrington, 75, passed away on Saturday, Jan. 2, 2016.

Born Nov. 4, 1940 in Honolulu, Hawaii, Susie graduated from Punahou High School and went on to attend Stevens College in Missouri where she graduated with her Associate in Arts Degree in 1960. Following college, Susie returned to Hawaii to work at the Bank of Hawaii for the next 10+ years.

In 1973, Susie moved as a single parent to the small farming community of Melba, Idaho, to raise her two children. She became a farmer/ rancher who was very involved in her local community. Susie vaccinated cattle at the local feedlot, substitute taught within the Melba School System, worked as a cashier at the local grocery store, annually supported the Melba Community Auction and volunteered as a Melba Emergency Medi-

cal Technician.

Susie was preceded in death by her parents Robert M. and Marie S. Cooke and her brother Robert M. Cooke, Jr. She is survived by her sister, Marie Cooke Vail (Robert); her children, David Harrington (Melinda) and Danielle Dixon (Michael); her grandchildren, Arizona Harrington, Shane Harrington, Nehemiah Dixon and Naomi Dixon and many other relatives and friends.

A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday, July 16, 2016, at St. Damien Church of Molokai in Kaunakakai, Molokai.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Lung Association of Idaho at 1412 W. Idaho St., Suite 100, Boise, ID 83702 or call (208) 345-5864.

Sust`aina ble Molokai is honored to announce the award of a grant from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) in the amount of $6,000 though the Ahahhui fund. This will allow us to hold a one-day volunteer work day event at our conservation and farm site in Kamalo, Molokai E Kumupa`a, calling on all of us throughout the island of Molokai to restore a firm foundation for our `aina (land).

Sust`aina ble Molokai is participating in the Indigenous Crop Biodiversity Festival (ICBF) Aug. 24-30. The ICBF shines a spotlight on the role of indigenous crop biodiversity in local food security and healthy communities, as part of the common ground we share in the race to preserve the biological and cultural uniqueness of

our islands in the face of rapid climate change.

There will also be various tours on Molokai and Maui islands from Aug. 25-31 that will help highlight the varied responses to biodiversity and conservation. For further information and to sign up for the Molokai E Kumupa volunteer day, call our office at 808-560-5410 or go to our website sustainablemolokai.org. For further information on the County of Maui Indigenous Crop Biodiveristy Festival and events on Maui, please visit the website icbf-maui.com.

In September, Hawaii will host the International Conservation of Nature World Conservation Congress with over the 160 nations in attendance. The Indigenous Crop Biodiversity Festival is one of the ways to connect the neighbor islands to the larger event on Oahu.
