Preventing Hepatitis A on Molokai

By Catherine Cluett Pactol | Editor

“In the past, we used to have trash, but not like this,” said Poepoe, adding the rubbish washing up at Mo`omomi in the last few years is mostly made of plastic and nylon, materials that don’t decompose. Back in the day, he said, the trash washing up at the beach was mostly wood and metal.

Poepoe’s grandson, Kahaku Poepoe, loves to fish too and was also there to help to clean up the beach. It wasn’t his first

he Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) is investigating an increasing number of Hepatitis A cases on Oahu, and Molokai residents are advised to take preventative action. Hepatitis A is a contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus that can be found in the stools of infected people and spread by eating contaminated food or drinking water or through close personal or sexual contact.

With more than 150 confirmed cases on Oahu, many of which are restaurant workers, some Molokai residents are wondering what they should do to prevent the disease. Vaccination is the best form of prevention, but frequent handwashing with soap and water after using the bathroom, changing a diaper, or before preparing food can help prevent the spread of hepatitis A, according to the DOH. "Because we have not yet identified a source of the Oahu outbreak, residents traveling to Oahu may want to consider getting vaccinated," said Jonathan “Nate” Hilts, a public health educator and information specialist with the DOH Disease Outbreak Control Division.

DOH staff are conducting interviews with the cases in an effort to identify the source of infection, but officials say they are having trouble pinpointing the source of the outbreaks.

“Identifying the source of infection continues to be a challenge because of the long incubation period of the disease and the difficulty patients have in accurately recalling the foods consumed and loca-

olokai residents and volunteers picked up thousands of pounds of trash in the third annual Molokai Cleanup at Mo`omomi Beach Aug. 13. It was a considerable increase in weight collected compared to both previous cleanups at this pristine beach on the island’s northwest coast.

“This year, there was way more (trash),” said Kahi Pacarro, executive di-

Davis Gets 25 Years for 2014 Death

olokai resident Jeff Davis pleaded no contest to manslaughter and three firearms charges and was sentenced to 25 years in prison for the death of 19-year-old Koshari Waits in 2014. Waits was found by a motorist on an east end driveway on May 20, 2014, killed by a single, small caliber bullet in the back of the head, according to police.

Davis was sentenced at the end of last month, during a court hearing in which the defense and prosecution presented differing positions on how the victim died. Davis and Waits were family friends.

"I know I was responsible for him dying, but I did not kill him," Davis said in court, as reported by The Maui News.

"I had a gun that I wasn't supposed to."

Deputy Prosecutor Mark Simonds said the two had been partying together

rector of Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii, the nonprofit organization that put the event together.

Based on the loads taken away by trucks, Pacarro said he estimated there was roughly 12,000 pounds of rubbish collected from a 3.5-mile stretch, about twice the amount of each of the previous beach cleanups.

Traditional resource manager and educator Mac Poepoe has been fishing at Mo‘omomi his whole life.

Molokai Cast Their Ballots

By Catherine Cluett Pactol | Editor

M

olokai residents cast their ballots at five polling locations in the Primary Election Aug. 13. The winners from each political party will go on to appear on the General Election ballot in November. In the primary, voters could only select candidates within their designated parties.

On Molokai, 4,296 people were registered to vote this year in five precincts: Kilohana, Kaunakakai, Kualapu`u, Maunaloa and Kalaupapa. Out of that total, 1,460 residents turned out to vote, casting their ballot either on voting day, as a walk-in voter during the period before the Primary Election or by mailing in their ballot.

One candidate from each party for each seat moves on to the General Election on Nov. 8, and two candidates for non-partisan races like Office of Hawaiian Affairs and County Council will appear on that ballot. Because the Molokai seat for Maui County Council only has two candidates – Stacy Helm Crivello and Keani RawlinsFernandez – they did not appear on the Primary ballot but voters will decide between them in the General Election.

One of the most contested races in the Primary on Molokai was for the

OHA Molokai Resident Trustee seat, with incumbent Colette Machado running against Alapai Hanapi and Jerry Flowers.

Machado won in each Molokai precinct, with Hanapi coming in second. Those results were echoed statewide, with Machado winning with 24.2 percent of the votes, Hanapi in second with 13.9 percent and Flowers with eight percent. Statewide, 54 percent of voters left their ballots blank for that position. Machado and Hanapi will appear on the General Election ballot to decide the final vote.

For State Representative District 13, Molokai’s own Lynn DeCoite, the democratic incumbent, won her race against Alex Haller 56.3 percent to 36.1 percent.

For U.S. Senator in the Democratic Party, Brian Schatz won with 80.5 percent of votes statewide. On the Republican side, John Carroll swept the competition with 61.7 percent. For Democratic U.S. Representative District II, Tulsi Gabbard earned the win with 77.6 percent, while her Republican counterpart in the General Election will be Angela Aulani Kaaihue, with 37.9 percent of her party’s vote.

Quentin, who works with his dad Delfin, takes issue with Mokulele’s approach to pricing, “On their website, they show a special fare, an unrestricted fare, web specials…it’s all expensive. Why would you want to mess with that?” A former Mokulele employee, he knows whereof he speaks.

Molokai Kupu Members Wrap Up Summer Work

Kupu News Release Each year, nonprofit organization Kupu recognizes participants who have successfully completed their summer program through the Hawaii Youth Conservation Corps (HYCC).

The HYCC summer program is the only program in Hawaii that allows youth to be fully engaged within our environment and Hawaiian culture, while working with many conservation and natural resource management organizations. This year, six Molokai Kupu participants worked on the island this summer.

Last month, 86 participants from all over the state were recognized for their hard work and dedication at Kupu’s annual HYCC Summer Ho`ike.

During this event that signifies completion of the summer program, each

member receives an educational award partially funded by AmeriCorps. These hard-working individuals between the ages of 17 to 22 will continue on to college to pursue their degrees, while some may remain within other Kupu programs or find employment through other organizations. Whatever life path they select, these program participants have gained a great amount of insight to create a successful future for not only themselves, but for the whole state of Hawaii as well.

Ivan Coelho was the HYCC Summer Molokai Team Leader, and Laikona Nuaanu-Fuller, Alohalyn Espejo, Jershon Kaalekahi, Leimana NuuanuFuller and Kamaaina Meyers worked as team members. They were celebrated during the Molokai Ho`ike event on July 23 at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs office.

Funding for Small Businesses

Kalaupapa Says Goodbye to Museum Curator

Maui County OED News Release

By Rick Schonely

The Mayor’s Office of Economic Development (OED) is now accepting applications for a third round of grants for businesses in Hana and on Molokai. The grant awards will range from $500 to $5000. Nonprofit entities are not eligible for this program.

The small business revitalization grants are designed to assist businesses with fewer than 10 employees who do business in Maui County’s rural communities such as Hana and Molokai, which have been identified as the areas hardest hit in their ability to recover from the economic downturn of the past few years.

The grant funds may be used for new equipment, renovation, websites, marketing materials or other purposes that will help the businesses grow, prosper and create jobs. The grant program is a 40/60 match grant, which means that for applicants accepted, for every $40 they contribute they will receive a match of $60.

Applications and rules for this program are available online at mauicounty.gov/OED (click on “Grants & Awards” on the left side) or at Lokahi Pacific, which is managing

time — just like his grandfather, he has participated in the annual event since its inception in 2014.

This year, there were about 200 people, including 35 Sustainable Coastlines volunteers from Oahu, helping to pick up rubbish at Mo`omomi. Pacarro said there were more people this year than in the prior year, but the rise in collected trash was mostly due to an increase of trash in the ocean.

He said there has been an influx of ocean debris in the Pacific region. Much of the trash washing ashore has been floating

the grant program. For more information, call 242-5761 or email susie@lokahipacific.org. The deadline for applying for this round of funding is Oct. 17.

“This program is very innovative,” said Mayor Alan Arakawa, “because it allows each applicant to determine exactly what they need in their business and provides owners a great opportunity and low-cost way to grow their business.”

“Positive programs such as this have the ability to breathe some wind in our sales!” said Councilwoman Stacy Crivello. “For our existing businesses that can afford the match, this gives them an opportunity to leverage their funds.”

OED Director Teena Rasmussen noted that these businesses strive hard to remain profitable, noting that “small micro grants are such a great way to preserve the jobs these companies offer in our rural communities.”

Lokahi Pacific was selected by OED as the master grantee and fiscal agent for Small Business Revitalization grants. Susie Thieman, Lokahi Pacific Executive Director, said this has been an “exciting and popular project for our agency.”

in the Pacific Ocean for a decade.

Besides helping to clear trash from the beaches, events like this can be used as a way to show the world what is happening and raise awareness of pollution, he said. Additionally, Sustainable Coastlines hopes to show volunteers that if they stop using plastic, they can have a positive effect on the beaches.

“The trash we are picking up on this coastline could be from anywhere in the Pacific Basin, could be from Japan, China, Taiwan, Philippines, Korea, even Russia,” Pacarro said. “And then you go to the other side, it could be from Alaska, Canada, West Coast [of the U.S.], and we even get stuff from Mexico.”

Sustainable Coastlines organizes about 20 beach cleanup events statewide

fter seven years serving as curator for the museum at Kalaupapa National Historical Park (KNHP) – and hiking the pali trail daily to be with his family topside – T. Scott Williams is leaving Molokai to take a new job as the director of the Aurora History Museum in Colorado.

“It’s been both a privilege and an honor to serve the community at Kalaupapa,” Williams said. “I have become a better human being getting to know the history, culture, and most importantly, the residents of Kalaupapa who generously shared with their mana'o with me. Their history is now preserved for future generations thanks to the National Park Service. ” KNHP, established by Congress in 1980, is managed by the National Park Service and the Hawaii State Department of Health. KNHP Acting Superintendent Carrie Mardorf said Williams has been the park's longest serving museum curator. The NPS is sad to see him go, but wishes him the best of luck in his new job, she said.

“Since arriving in the park in 2009, he’s worked to preserve the objects, collections, and archives within the

each year, plus a cleanup at the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The crew was stoked to be back on Molokai for the cleanup at Mo`omomi, and Pacarro called it their favorite event of the year.

The nonprofit’s mission also goes beyond beach cleanups, Pacarro said.

“We do educational awareness in schools before each cleanup,” he explained, adding they reached out to nearly 500 students on Molokai in the week prior to the event. The nonprofit went to every school on the island, except for Aka`ula, which they had visited in the previous years.

The trash picked up at the beach was sorted by material type before being hauled away. All the plastic was removed

park curatorial facility, Hale Malama,” Mardorf said. “He was involved in the final construction of Hale Malama and organized the collections move and reorganization into the new building.”

Since May, Williams has been assisting the park as a visual information specialist, creating new interpretive media, waysides, printed materials, social media posts and website updates for the park with “amazing photographs – photographs that Scott took himself,” said Mardorf, adding he has been a critical member of the Cultural Resource team at the park, working with other park staff.

Williams said the history of Kalaupapa residents is now preserved for future generations thanks to the NPS. “My family and I would like to thank everyone who showed us the true meaning of the aloha spirit that exists in Kalaupapa and topside Molokai – mahalo nui loa,” he said.

After the crew called it a day, mostly everyone gathered at the pavilion at Mo`omomi for a pa`ina with music and grinds.

Mo`omomi is a preserve managed

by The Nature Conservancy and Molokai Land Trust. It is a 921-acre sanctuary home to 22 native plant species, nesting seabirds, green sea turtles and Hawaiian monk seals. Besides pristine sand beaches and coastal waters rich in fishing resources, Mo`omomi is famous for its vast sand dunes and lithified sand formations.

Journey to Africa

By Aka`ula Students Editor’s note: A group of Aka`ula students had the opportunity to travel to Africa over the summer with teachers. Here are some of their stories, reprinted with permission from the school’s newsletter.

Amazing Journey

By Brian Leer, Junior The amazing journey in Botswana with four classmates and three teachers ended too quickly. It was a trip I will never forget. The first animal I saw was a rhino and I was thinking, “This is so much different than on TV.” I have missed so many once in a lifetime opportunities that I wish I had taken. I did not want to miss this one. The experience has taught me about where we come from and it has improved my maturity. I loved meeting the new people, seeing the animals and the culture was very interesting.

I learned so much. Where I could write pages about the animals I saw, the most important thing is that it has changed me.

my mind was immediately blown by its elegance and beauty.

I admire how elephants take care of each other and protect their young.

An adorable thing I saw and learned about baby elephants is that they have to get used to their trunks and they throw sand on themselves to bathe.

What I also admire is when baby elephants fall down and the mother helps them up. The baby stays in the middle of the parade of elephants until it gets a little older and can walk better. Botswana has the largest elephant population in Africa.

Today, there are an estimated 450,000 to 700,000 African elephants and an estimated 35,000 to 40,000 wild Asian elephants in the world.

The elephant is now my favorite animal and I believe that it’s more beautiful than a lion. I am very grateful that I went to Botswana and saw many out-of-this-world animals. It was a great experience to travel with great people. I would like to thank my family for making this incredible trip possible.

The Rhino

By Isla James, Freshman Surprisingly, the first large African animal I saw in the wild was the white rhino. We weren’t in an area where we would expect to see boulders, so I whisper-shouted what first came to my mind, “There!

Rhino!” The vehicle jerked to a stop and quickly reversed to view the huge creature through the bushes.

He lumbered over the sand track in front of us only breaking the silences with the rhythmic stomping.

There are just 30 white rhinos and four black rhinos in the Khama Rhino Sanctuary in Botswana and the last time one had been seen was two days earlier. This rhino was making his way to the water hole to get a drink. What an experience, and this was just our first day in the bush.

The African Elephant

On The Hunt

By Hulali Busby, Grade 7 Hulali traveled to Botswana with three of her Aka`ula classmates this summer. She will be attending The Kamehameha Schools, Kapalama Campus this year, but wanted to submit an article about her journey to the school newsletter.

We see them scanning the perimeter for the separated wildebeest.

Forming a half circle around it, they try to creep up. One lioness tries to spook the wildebeest towards the hungry pride. Focused yellow eyes are waiting for the perfect moment to pounce. The cornered wildebeest starts to detect something and very quickly navigates its way out of death. Dashing after the fleeing wildebeest, the lioness is too late and has lost her prey. This intense lion hunt was a mesmerizing and special experience for me. However, I am glad that I didn’t see an actual kill.

By Jalen Kalama, Freshman Since traveling to Botswana, I’ve come to like a certain animal.

That animal is the elephant. I used to think that other animals like the lion were more interesting than the elephant. I’ve always seen elephants on TV but never thought they were special. Going to Botswana and seeing an elephant for myself changed my view on this beautiful animal. When I saw an elephant for the first time

he Molokai High School Girls volleyball team is preparing for a new season, and head coach Mahealani Rawlins is excited about her team this year.

“We have players who are willing to learn more and give their 110 percent each day at practice,” she said. “Each position will have to be earned which makes the competition even better. It's awesome being able to witness the talent and love that these girls have for the sport.”

Rawlins said she likes to help her players get to the next level of competition. As coaches, she said her staff have noted the team has a lot of potential athletes who can take the sport to the next level in their future.

The Lady Farmers will start their season with preseason games on Oahu at the McKinley invitational tournament this weekend, Aug. 19-21. The regular season will begin with two weekends on the road at Hana Aug. 26-27 and at St. An-

Hepatitis A symptoms can range from a mild illness lasting one or two weeks to a severe illness lasting for several months. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, nausea, body ache, diarrhea, vomiting and jaundice, or yellowing of skin or eyes. Patients with hepatitis A are most contagious one to two weeks before the symptoms start until at least one week after the start of first symptoms.

“Because of the long incubation period of hepatitis A, it’s important for Molokai residents who travel to Oahu to know the signs and symptoms,” said Hilts.

John Cheetham, a DOH public health nurse on Molokai, said the Molokai DOH office can test for the virus.

“If you’ve eaten at a facility [on Oahu] where it was identified, you should come in for a blood test,” he said. “That test can tell you whether you’ve been exposed within a certain time frame.”

Cheetham said residents should contact their primary care doctor for the vaccination. The local drug store is not offering them currently because of lack of insurance coverage, he said. Under primary care physicians, vaccines for children are normally covered by insurance, as well as adults in high risk categories. Children are normally given their first dose at one year of age.

thony Sept. 9-10, before returning home to The Barn. Home games will be against Maui Prep on Sept 16-17), Seabury Hall on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 and Lanai Oct. 7-8.

Senior night will be celebrated on Friday, Oct. 7 vs. Lanai.

Rawlins is starting her fifth season as head coach and has a new staff this year. Bill Dudoit will serve as assistant, Hale Domingo is second assistant, and Cheryl Ramos, Cilla Maliu, Aolani Ahina and Taylor Keliihoomalu are volunteer coaches.

Rawlins was excited to have such a large turnout for tryouts this year.

“Tryouts were big this year with a total of 22 players trying out but I only kept 14 players,” she said. “It's exciting to see The Barn full of players wanting to learn more about sport of volleyball.”

The Maui Interscholastic League girls’ volleyball tournament will be held on Lanai this year Oct. 19-22. The state tournament will be held on Oahu on Oct. 26-29.

Most commonly, those with high risk are considered people with liver disease and those with blood clotting problems, according to Cheetham.

However, he said right now, many insurance companies aren't covering adults to receive the vaccine unless they fall into those high risk categories.

"The biggest barrier to [receiving] the vaccine is insurance companies not covering it," he said, suggesting that if residents cannot get the vaccine through their doctor, they should visit the Molokai Community Health Center (MCHC), which offers care on a sliding scale fee system. MCHC medical personnel did not return calls to confirm if they are offering the vaccine.

“If [residents] have no insurance, we will see them here at the DOH office and we can cover them with vaccine,” added Cheetham.

Vaccines are offered in a two-dose series. The second dose is administered six months after the first.

Vaccine providers are doing what they can to ensure Hawaii receives preventative methods.

"As I understand, providers are working to bring in more vaccine, and distributors are giving Hawaii orders priority," said Hilts. "DOH continues to provide Hawaii residents with updated information on availability."

Molokai at the State Paddling Championships

By Catherine Cluett Pactol | Editor

T

wo weeks ago, Molokai hosted the state paddling championships event on Oahu and came home with both strong results and excellent reviews for hosting the event that brings thousands of paddlers from around Hawaii.

For more than 60 years, the Hawaii Canoe Racing Association has held the state paddling championships. The organization, made up of six paddling associations, represents athletes from all islands, carrying on the Hawaiian tradition of outrigger canoe racing. Each year, paddling associations trade off hosting the event, and this year, it was Molokai's turn. Normally the venue rotates based on which island is hosting, but because Molokai doesn't have a race location large enough to accommodate the event, it was held at Oahu’s Ke`ehi Lagoon.

Concerns about debris and poor water quality following runoff from Tropical Storm Darby threatened to cancel the race, but it moved forward thanks to the efforts of volunteer paddlers on Oahu. They cleaned the site and many said it looked

better than it had in years. The bacterial level in the water was tested, and though it was deemed a concern, canoe clubs voted in favor of still holding the race.

First aid stations and foot washing facilities were provided as a precaution again contamination, and paddlers were urged to use caution and carefully care for any open cuts.

“The lagoon seems much cleaner than it was all these years,” said Molokai paddler Annette Colipano English. “All the tents had pools of … water for everyone to wash their feet when they came out of each race.”

Molokai’s Penny Martin said a few of the large canoe clubs dropped out because of the water quality situation but that didn’t stop the remaining crews from competing.

“Those that were there were there in good spirits and it was a good situation and uplifted each other,” she said, adding that there “was a nice camaraderie.”

Molokai sent 10 crews to the race, representing both men and women ages 14

to over 60 – two crews from Molokai Canoe Club and eight from Wa`akapaemua Canoe Club. Wa`akapaemua’s Womens’ Masters 60 crew brought home the best results of the day with a third place finish.

Without a coach this season, English said they worked hard at practices and came together as a group.

The Molokai Canoe Racing Association partnered with The Molokai Dispatch to incorporate the race program into the paper, and 2,000 copies were distributed at the event.

“There was a good presence of Molokai in the house,” said Martin. “Everyone appreciated the newspaper. We had nice feedback from people, and a lot of good support [for hosting the event].”

In addition, three Molokai vendors attended the event to sell locally-made jewelry and clothing.

“The sales were good, it was very successful,” said Tania Kaholoaa of Kainanea sportswear. “Social media brought a lot of people. They came looking for Molokai vendors.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Can you imagine feeling at home in the world no matter where you are? If you eventually master this art, outer circumstances won't distort your relationship with yourself. No matter how crazy or chaotic the people around you might be, you will remain rooted in your unshakable sense of purpose; you will respond to any given situation in ways that make you both calm and alert, amused and curious, compassionate for the suffering of others and determined to do what's best for you. If you think these are goals worth seeking, you can make dramatic progress toward them in the coming weeks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As I tried to meditate on your horoscope, my next-door neighbor was wielding a weedwhacker to trim her lawn, and the voices in my head were shouting extra loud. So I decided to drive down to the marsh to get some high-quality silence. When I arrived at the trail head, I found an older man in ragged clothes leaning against the fence.

Nearby was a grocery cart full of what I assumed were all his earthly belongings. "Doing nothing is a very difficult art," he croaked as I slipped by him, "because you're never really sure when you are done." I immediately recognized that his wisdom might be useful to you. You are, after all, in the last few days of your recharging process. It's still a good idea for you to lie low and be extra calm and vegetate luxuriously. But when should you rise up and leap into action again? Here's my guess: Get one more dose of intense stillness and silence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): My readers have a range of approaches for working with the counsel I offer. Some study the horoscopes for both their sun signs and rising signs, then create do-it-yourself blends of the two. Others prefer to wait until the week is over before consulting what I've written. They don't want my oracles to influence their future behavior, but enjoy evaluating their recent past in light of my analysis. Then there are the folks who read all 12 of my horoscopes. They refuse to be hemmed in by just one forecast, and want to be free to explore multiple options. I encourage you to try experiments like these in the coming days. The moment is ripe to cultivate more of your own unique strategies for using and interpreting the information you absorb -- both from me and from everyone else you listen to.

sorting with muses or guardian angels or ancestral spirits? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you are in a good position to take full advantage of the subtle opportunities and cryptic invitations that are coming your way. Unexpected sources are poised to provide unlikely inspirations in unprecedented ways.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When you were born, you already carried the seeds of gifts you would someday be able to provide -- specific influences or teachings or blessings that only you, of all the people who have ever lived, could offer the world. How are you doing in your quest to fulfill this potential? Here’s what I suspect: Your seeds have been ripening slowly and surely. But in the coming months, they could ripen at a more rapid pace. Whether they actually do or not may depend on your willingness to take on more responsibilities -- interesting responsibilities, to be sure -- but bigger than you're used to.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I suspect that you will soon be culminating a labor of love you've been nurturing and refining for many moons. How should you celebrate? Maybe with some champagne and caviar? If you'd like to include bubbly in your revels, a good choice might be 2004 Belle Epoque Rose. Its floral aroma and crispy mouth-feel rouse a sense of jubilation as they synergize the flavors of blood orange, pomegranate, and strawberry. As for caviar: Consider the smooth, aromatic, and elegant roe of the albino beluga sturgeon from the unpolluted areas of the Caspian Sea near Iran. But before I finish this oracle, let me also add that a better way to honor your accomplishment might be to take the money you'd spend on champagne and caviar, and instead use it as seed money for your next big project.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some species of weeds become even more robust and entrenched as they develop resistances to the pesticides that are designed to eradicate them. This is one example of how fighting a problem can make the problem worse -- especially if you attack too furiously or use the wrong weapons. I invite you to consider the possibility that this might be a useful metaphor for you to contemplate in the coming weeks.

Your desire to solve a knotty dilemma or shed a bad influence is admirable. Just make sure you choose a strategy that actually works.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your assignment, if you choose to accept it, is to compose an essay on at least one of the following themes: 1. "How I Fed and Fed My Demons Until They Gorged Themselves to Death." 2. "How I Exploited My Nightmares in Ways That Made Me Smarter and Cuter." 3. "How I Quietly and Heroically Transformed a Sticky Problem into a Sleek CANCER (June 21-July 22): Have you been drinking a lot of Opportunity." 4. "How I Helped Myself by Helping Other People." liquids?

Have you holy duty for a holy one -- write about all four subjects. been opening your soul to raw truths that dissolve your fixations and to beauty that makes you cry and to love that moves you AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I suspect that in the coming to sing?

In the coming the glorious fury of at least one brainstorm -- preferably multiple weeks, everything I just described will be especially apropos for brainstorms over the course of the next two weeks.What can you your closest relationships.

Veterans Corner History and Hillary

By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. As you already know, history was made at the Democratic National Convention last month when Democrats became the first major American political party to nominate a woman for President when they nominated Hillary Clinton. So now the state is officially set, and both Clinton and Donald Trump wasted little time in starting their campaign in earnest. I do not think much of either candidate, and in my opinion neither will make a good president. When the new president takes the oath of office in January, the only loser will be the American people, who will suffer at least four more years under a president that never should have been elected.

In the last weeks, Trump has become uncontrollable. I seriously believe that he does not knows the meaning of the word "sacrifice." He has alienated a gold star family and continues to feud with them. He has kicked a baby out of a rally because the baby was crying

while he was talking. Now he's at odds with the military community over his remarks about the Purple Heart medal that he was gifted by a veteran fan. He said that he has always wanted one, and it was much easier this way. Nobody in military service wants a Purple Heart, as the only way to be awarded one is to be wounded or killed in action. Believe me when I tell you that his words really infuriated me as it did a great many veterans. He is totally out of control, please do not put him in the White House.

Clinton is in my opinion no bargain either, most people think of her as being untrustworthy and dishonest, and I don't want to see her as President. So where does that leave us? That's a question many Americans are now asking themselves. The only thing we can hope for with 90 days to the General Election is that a strong independent or other third party candidate emerges, or the U.S. and its people have a big problem.

Please everybody continue to call old Jesse at 553-3323 to tell me your thoughts or talk story. Old Jesse loves Molokai and its people, every man, women and child from my heart, you are my family. Aloha and mahalo.

LETTERS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

Hepatitis Concern It’s been in the news lately about the outbreak of Hepatitis A on Oahu. Each week, they find approximately 100 cases more. Everyone we know has ohana and friends on Oahu. Each day, approximately 400 people arrive from Oahu, with various take-out foods from different restaurants. I believe it is time to take this matter seriously.

It would be in our best interest for our families and community if we had the hepatitis A vaccination available on our island as a prevention for our own outbreak. The best time is before someone catches the illness. As it stands, the

two doctors at the hospital can give the shot, but only if you’re an established patient (at this time they aren’t accepting any new patients) and the drug store is not giving out this vaccination, but will refer us to our doctors. Is there a way our community can get these vaccinations available to assure our children protection from this outbreak Oahu is experiencing and eventually will arrive on our island?

Mahalo for your concern, Rayelani Boots Kualapu`u

T A B ASTHMA M O C With Education & Fun

The Molokai Arts Center (MAC) in Kualapu`u will partner with Hawaii Craftsmen – a Honolulu-based nonprofit supporting fine crafts –to the upcoming 49th Annual Statewide Juried Exhibition on Oahu.

Juried artwork will be on exhibit from Oct. 25 to Nov. 13. Artists are invited to enter crafts of “functional and nonfunctional two- and three-dimensional art in the categories of clay, fiber, glass, wood, metal, stone and mixed media,” the event’s booklet states. The artwork must have been completed within the past two years and not have been entered into juried exhibitions on Oahu. This year’s juror will be Cindi Strauss from the Fine Arts Museum of Houston, Texas.

Hawaii Craftsmen is providing a shipping subsidy of $75 per accepted entry to bring works from Molokai to Honolulu. Cash awards for juror selected works will be presented at the exhibition opening reception Oct. 25.

Registration opens Sept. 1 and closes Oct. 1, but the MAC is advising that preparations for submission should be made

well in advance. Molokai and Lanai artists will be juried by online submissions only, and notified via email if their artwork is accepted.

Since artwork submitted by Molokai artists will be juried from photographs, MAC is emphasizing the photos should accurately represent the work and convey its aesthetic. The center is offering support to artists by hosting a free photography session on Sunday, Aug. 28 from 1 to 5 p.m. Each artist may bring up to three works to be photographed. Only artwork for submission to the exhibition will be allowed. Space is limited and on an appointment only basis.

Contact the center at molokaiartscenter@gmail.com to reserve an appointment.

There will be a subsequent session on Sunday, Sept. 11 from 1 to 3 p.m to provide an overview of how to complete the online registration process. This will also be on an appointment basis, and location is to be determined.

Visit hawaiicraftsmen.org or contact the Molokai Arts Center at molokaiartscenter@gmail.com for more information on the exhibition.
