More Rooftop Solar Coming for Molokai

MHS Gifted Life-Saving Device

olokai is at the forefront of the country's renewable energy future, and residents got a chance to talk story with their utility company, Maui Electric, ask questions and share what's important to them last week.

With more than 100 Molokai customers waiting to install rooftop solar, photovoltaic (PV) challenges took a front seat at the discussion. Those residents had filed applications under the Net Energy Metering (NEM) program -- which pays customers the retail electric rate for excess energy generated from their panels -- before the program was discontinued to new applicants last October.

Jamie Cook, Maui Electric's director of renewable energy projects, said 107 applicants are currently waiting in the queue to be approved -- the same number that were waiting in March of this year. That number had nearly doubled from the pile-up of 65 applications in March 2015. The holdup is because Molokai's already high volume of solar energy is causing instability in the island's small electric grid. But the end is in sight for those awaiting connection, promised Cook, calling Molokai "a success story" for integrating PV. "We intend to honor all the NEM applications in that queue -- and we will be able to interconnect a few of those customers soon," he said, adding that even though the NEM program is closed to new applications, those 107 customers would still receive NEM program benefits. "We can't give an exact time frame but it's our intent to focus on efforts that would allow all those applications to move forward within a year."

This past spring, Maui Electric announced a pilot program partnership with E-Gear Technology, a company that will provide equipment to allow rooftop PV systems to be monitored and controlled by the utility. Cook described it as "a really high-tech solution to integrate more renewable energy." He said the pilot is moving forward and will allow 10 customers currently waiting for NEM approval to move forward with their installations.

He said the program is only being offered for the Kaunakakai area and those waiting in the NEM application queue will be selected in the order that their applications were received. Maui Electric will be reaching out to the 10 selected applicants in about a month, he said.

A new type of rooftop solar system called self-supply is also opening up to customers as another option. Cook explained it is a non-export model -meaning excess energy generated from a resident's PV panels would not feed back into the grid -- but rather could be stored for future home use in a battery storage system. Cook said to date, the

olokai High School may have an extra chance to save lives in an emergency thanks to an automated external defibrillator (AED) that was recently donated to the school by Hawaii Life Flight. An AED is an electronic device that can diagnose certain heartbeat irregularities causing cardiac arrest and administer electric shock to reestablish proper heartbeat rhythm. MHS' new device will be located in the school's cafeteria, and will join two other AEDs on campus -- one in the gym and one in the health room.

"This is a function that anyone can do once you're trained in it, and in conjunction with CPR, the survival rate is high," said Lori Cannon, a nurse of over 30 years who now works for Hawaii Life Flight as a flight nurse.

The air ambulance company operates around the state and in 2014, established a Molokai-based crew and plane that serves the island.

Cannon said when someone collapses

in front of you, it's both nerve-wracking and emotional. Thanks to the AED's simple audio and visual instructions, the machine can help guide average citizens to perform a potentially life-saving procedure.

"That's the importance of the AED, you don't really need medical personnel there... everybody in this room can save a life," Cannon told a group of teachers, staff and students gathered last week at the school for a short course on AED use. "Anybody can collapse at any time, anywhere."

Those who received education on the AED included department heads, athletic personnel, cafeteria staff and student members of the school club Health Occupation Students of America, who are interested in pursuing careers in health fields.

Cannon explained that there are two heart rhythms that can be treated with the AED, ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. One you turn on the device and place the pads on the patient as it instructs, the machine will diagnose whether or not the patient suffers from either of

he Molokai High School Lady Farmer volleyball team had its first home games of the season last weekend at The Barn in Ho`olehua.

On Friday night, Sehja Pedro had four kills and Jaide Kiaha had four aces as Molokai High School swept Maui Prep 2511, 25-15 and 25-11. Brooke Keliihoomalu, Kawaohi Duvauchelle and Stasia Kaahanui each had three kills for the Farmers.

On Saturday, Molokai upped its record to 4-2 by winning again in three sets 25-10, 25-11 and 25-8. Maui Prep fell to 0-5.

those rhythms. It will then instruct the user to administer the electric charge or not. Before initiating use of the AED, call 9-1-1 and follow the instructions given by the device, in combination with CPR. "There's a lot of strength and passion when you're trying to resuscitate somebody and give them that chance at life again," said Cannon.

The Good Samaritan law in Hawaii prevents someone from being sued who's trying to help with good intentions, Cannon said.

MHS Vice Principal Kainoa Pali said one of his responsibilities is keeping the campus safe and the AED is one example.

"These things cost money so to have a chance to work with [Hawaii Life Flight] is a privilege," he said. "The more people that know how to use this, the more lives we can save."

THIS WEEK’S

All players for each team played equal time on Saturday and stats were pretty even all around for both teams. Coaches did not report final stats on Saturday.

Head Coach Mahea Rawlins was pleased with her team’s play.

“I want to say that all my players are improving in their individual skills," she said. "We're playing more as a team and bonding very well. I'm glad that everyone got playing time. We went into this week’s matches hoping to minimize our errors and to play to our potential.”

New Honolulu Terminal for Makani Kai Makani Kai Air News Release Construction has begun on a new terminal at the Honolulu International Airport for Makani Kai Air. The facility, which will be four times the size of Makani Kai Air’s current home, is located at 100 Kaulele Place.

“We’re excited to be moving the airline operation to a new home,” said Richard Schuman, president of Makani Kai Air. “It is being purpose built and therefore will be better able to handle the daily traffic and unique requirements of inter-island air travel.”

Makani Kai Air is currently housed at 130 Iolana Place, a facility completed in 2009, which was designed expressly for helicopter tours. After the new building is completed and Makani Kai Air has moved, Makani Kai Helicopters will remain in its current location.

The new Makani Kai Air building includes over 40,000 square feet under roof and will feature a mezzanine and second floor. The passenger and baggage drop off area will be covered from the elements, and aircraft access to the airport’s south ramp will be greatly improved. In addition, the new building includes enough hangar space to accommodate two aircraft indoors for maintenance.

“It’s been helpful to operate our airline for a few years in our current location to determine what would work best in a new facility,” said Schuman. “We’ve learned a lot and this new building includes many passenger amenities that have been lacking, such as charging stations for phones

and iPads, more flat screen televisions, and panoramic views of the runways.”

The new building also has 70 parking stalls.

Makani Kai Air provides daily round trip service between Honolulu and topside Molokai, Kalaupapa and Kahului, Maui.

The airline recently added six roundtrip flights daily between Honolulu and Molokai, bringing the total to 19 roundtrips on Fridays and 17 on Sundays.

“Our growth has been notable,” said Schuman. “Over the past 12 months, we’ve carried nearly 52,000 passengers, a 24 percent increase from the previous 12-month period.”

Schuman attributes the popularity of Makani Kai to the loyalty of the people of Molokai. “We’ve established ourselves as their go-to airline.”

Perhaps best known as the local airline with fixed airfares, Makani Kai Air’s online fare for flights between Honolulu and Molokai and Molokai and Maui are just $50, including all taxes and fees, for every seat on every flight every day. Located on the south ramp of the airport, Makani Kai Air is able to dispense with TSA lines and 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.

arrie Mardorf, the cultural resource program manager at the Kalaupapa National Historic Park (KNHP), is leaving the settlement for a job on the mainland. She will be working as superintendent of Cane River Creole National Historical Park in Louisiana. While at KNHP, she oversaw the preservation of over 300 historic buildings, 1200 grave markers, two cultural landscapes, hundreds of archeological sites, museum collections, and an ongoing collection of oral histories from the Hansen's disease patient community.

Mardorf said she has been with the National Park Service since 2009 and came to Kalaupapa in January 2014. She first as a one-year detail as Chief of Cultural Resources and then same position in a permanent capacity.

Acting KNHP Superintendent Paul Hosten said Mardorf has been a major influence during the two years she spent in Kalaupapa.

“She has been tremendous at improving how the Division for Cultural Resource Management handles collections, maintains cultural resources in the field, and even vegetation managed associated with cultural sites," said Hosten.

Superintendent Erika Stein Es-

paniola, on maternity leave, said Mardorf will be missed.

“She's been great for the cultural resources program in Kalaupapa," she said. "Seeing her go will be bittersweet- but I'm really happy for her and we'll miss her contributions for sure.”

Molokai native Mikiala Pescaia and a KNHP Interpretive Park Ranger said she liked working with Mardorf.

“What I appreciated most about her leadership style, was that she was assertive and got things done, and she was open to understanding and embracing Hawaiian culture into this western structure of resource management," said Pescaia. "She supported many Hawaiian initiatives here in the park, and I am glad she set a strong foundation for these initiatives to continue.”

Mardorf said she enjoyed her time at KNHP and already misses it.

“The best part about working at Kalaupapa was living in the small community and getting to know the patients and kokua, and being able to preserve some amazing historic resources. Other parks don't have the breadth and depth or complexity of cultural and natural resources that Kalaupapa has,” said Mardorf. "It'll always have a special place in my heart.”

Football Season Kicks Off

By Rick Schonely | Sports Reporter The 2016 Pailolo Challenge was held in amazing canoe racing conditions on Saturday Sept. 17. Two Molokai canoes, both from Wa’akapaemua Canoe Club, made the crossing from Flemings Beach on Maui to Kaunakakai Harbor in the men’s Open Iron Unlimited and one in the women’s Open Division.

The men finished first in the Open Iron Unlimited with a time of 2:53:13.

They also were second overall behind Team Primo’s 9 man crew. Crew members included Troy Heen, Brandon Kansana, Lohiao Paoa, Conrad Martin, Kingi Gilbert, Kaimi Kealoha, Kaeo Abbey, Ekolu Kalama.

The women finished in 11th place in the Open Division with a time of 4:14:36. Team members included Sybil Lopez, Kiani Dudoit, Pua Sanchez-Joao, Heather Sluss, Bobbi-Li Morris, Teave Heen, Honora Kalama, Haley May Greenleaf, Sydney Kalipi and Lehua Greenwell. Coach is Crystal Egusa.

An accident at the beginning of the race on Maui sent a female paddler from Hawaii Island to the hospital with critical, life-threatening injuries, according to the Maui Fire Department.

No update on her condition was available.

The Na Wahine O Ke Kai will take place on Sunday Sept. 25 and the Molokai Hoe will be on Sunday, Oct. 9.

he Molokai High School eightman football team will set out to defend its 2015 MIL Championship as they start their new season on Sept. 24 at home against Hana.

“We are looking forward to a productive season," said Head Coach Mike Kahale. "Last year we had a talented senior class that helped us capture our first MIL Championship. We are putting in the work and hope to repeat.”

With a new year and a new team, Kahale said his returnees will need to become leaders.

“We have about 20 returnees who will need to step up and fill the void," he said. "After practicing a few weeks now, I am pleased with the leadership that is emerging with our upper underclassmen. They understand the program and the kind of positive culture we want to build with the team.”

Since bringing back football to MHS several years ago, the program is growing and Kahale is happy that the student-athletes want to play.

“We have about 45 athletes currently on the team, 10 of which are freshmen," he said. "The key to building a great foundation is to attract the younger kids and get them to be a part of the program for three to four years.

I feel like we are moving in the right direction.”

The program has also graduated two players who have gone on to play football as freshmen at the college level. Chelsen “Ena” Victorino is at Pima CC in Tucson, Arizona and Kaimana Kahale is at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon.

This year's season is a short one in the eight-man MIL league and Kahale and the team are looking forward to it getting started.

“Our first game is not until Sept.

24 against Hana," said Kahale. "Unfortunately it is our only regular season MIL home game and our Senior game.

We hope to put ourselves in a position to host a second home game, a semifinal playoff on Oct. 22 as well.”

Road games this year are Oct. 1 at Lanai, Oct. 8 at Seabury and hopefully on Oct. 27 in the Championship game at War Memorial Stadium on Maui.

A pre-season scrimmage was held on Molokai on Friday Sept. 9.

First Molokai Crew to Paddle the Catalina

By Ekolu Kalama When the opportunity to become the first Molokai team to compete in the Catalina Challenge presented itself, the boys of the Friendly Isle, needing more paddlers, teamed up with a couple Maui boys to gain perspective on the California paddling scene. Riding open ocean swells on a human powered, 40 foot long canoe, with five of your friends, is arguably the greatest feeling one can experience in outrigger canoe paddling. On the windy island of Molokai, the paddlers of Wa`akapaemua are an up-and-coming

crew that thrives on this feeling. For one wide-eyed paddler, Conrad Martin, who's never left Hawaii in all his 29 years, the scenery turned out to be sensory overload.

On the relatively calm, 30 mile race course between Catalina and Newport, the feeling of gliding on a swell was few and far between for this crew. Inexperience, a broken t-top, missed water changes, not knowing how long the last leg from the entrance of Newport Harbor to the finish was, and where the finish was, all contributed to a downward spiral that ended in a 10th place finish overall, 8th in the

unlimited division. Despite experiencing what can only be described as "culture shock," the trip proved to be a necessary learning tool.

One week later at the 10th Annual Pailolo Challenge, the slightly more mature Molokai crew defended their home turf successfully, finishing second overall, behind Team Primo's nine-man crew, and first in the Iron Unlimited division. The conditions along the 26 mile race course between Maui and Molokai were well above average and there were no shortages of crews recalling catching the longest rides of their lives. The friends, acquaintances

and bonds made at these races are all because of the good feelings that come with canoe paddling.

The paddlers of Wa`akapaemua mens' team -- Troy Heen, Brandon Kansana, Lohiao Paoa, Conrad Martin, Kingi Gilbert, Kaimi Kealoha, Kaeo Abbey, and Ekolu Kalama -- would like to thank Alex and Diane Gonzales for their hospitality and gracious hearts and for making our time in California a memorable one. We look forward to improving upon our finish next year, bumps or no bumps!

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND AVAILABILITY OF THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT AND DRAFT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE PROPOSED DESIGNATION OF THE HE‘EIA NATIONAL ESTUARINE RESEARCH RESERVE IN HAWAI‘I Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Coastal Zone Management Act, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Office for Coastal Management (OCM) is announcing a forty-five day public comment period and will hold a public hearing for the purpose of receiving comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Management Plan (DEIS/DMP) prepared for the proposed designation of the He‘eia National Estuarine Research Reserve in Hawai‘i. The DMP addresses research, monitoring, education, and stewardship/cultural resource needs for the proposed reserve, and the DEIS analyzes alternatives to the proposed action along with their potential environmental impacts.

The National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) is a federal-state partnership administered by NOAA. The system protects more than 1.3 million acres of estuarine habitat for long-term research, monitoring, education and stewardship throughout the coastal United States. Established by the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended, each reserve is managed by a lead state agency or university, with input from local partners. NOAA provides funding and national programmatic guidance.

Electronic copies of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Management Plan may be found on the OCM website at http://coast.noaa.gov/czm/compliance/ or may be obtained upon request from coastal.info@noaa.gov.

NOAA is soliciting the views of interested persons and organizations on the adequacy of the DEIS/DMP. All relevant comments received at the public hearing and during the 45-day public comment period ending 5:00 PM (HST), October 17, 2016, will be considered in the preparation of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and Final Management Plan (FMP).

PUBLIC HEARING: 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on October 6, 2016, at He‘eia State Park, 46-465 Kamehameha Highway, Kāne‘ohe, HI 96744 Comments may be submitted by any one of the following methods: Electronic Submissions: Submit all electronic public comments via the Federal e-Rulemaking Portal. Go to www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=NOAA-NOS-2016-0114 , click the ‘‘Comment Now!’’ icon, complete the required fields and enter or attach your comments.

Mail: Joelle Gore, Stewardship Division, Office for Coastal Management, National Ocean Service, NOAA, 1305 East West Highway, N/ORM2, Room 10622 Silver Spring, MD 20910.

Instructions: Comments sent by any other method, to any other address or individual, or received after the end of the comment period, may not be considered by NOAA. All comments received are a part of the public record and will generally be posted for public viewing on www.regulations.gov without change.

Kulaia to Honor Local Fisherman

Molokai at World Conservation Congress

Molokai Canoe Festivals Committee News Release

Molokai LIVE News Release

This year's Kulaia theme is, "Ku I Ka Mana O Molokai", meaning "Resembling the family traits of Molokai."

In English, ku has many meanings, two of which resemble and/or embody.

Mana, means family traits and can refer to the food mass chewed by adults for children whose teeth had not grown and filled in. Our theme speaks to the process and cycle of knowledge being transmitted inter-generationally from adult to child. It is a practice universal to all cultures and continues to be practiced here on Molokai. Like food, desirable family traits, values, and traditions are "fed" to our children which in turn affect the health and wellbeing of our families and communities.

This year, we honor Kelson "Mac" Poepoe who is a well-known lawai`a, fisherman, and community leader on Molokai. He has been awarded many of times for his hard work and this year we acknowledge and honor him

here at our Kulaia on Molokai. He represents, "Ku i ka mana o Molokai" in many ways.

Growing up in an `ohana with family traits of lawai`a, kuleana, and malama, he has grown to perpetuate them through educating others. Uncle Mac and his `ohana has dedicated their lives to passing on these Molokai traits to the next generation through numerous formal and informal educational opportunities. We honor Uncle Mac for his on-going effort in doing so, because it is vital and necessary for the survival of our Molokai.

No laila, mahalo nui ia `oe e Uncle Mac Poepoe no kau hana nui no ka pono o na hanauna e hiki mai ana! For all your hard work which will benefit not only us, but also the generations to come, mahalo to you Uncle Mac! May Uncle Mac Poepoe, his `ohana, and the mana of lawai`a, kuleana, and malama live on into the future. E ola ka `ohana Poepoe.

Veterans Updates MVCV News Release The Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans (MVCV) is encouraging all veterans to submit a copy of their military discharge paper (DD214) to the Veterans Center for any future requirements. We have had veterans families calling our center for their father, brother, husband, and a veteran discharge paper that was not on file which caused a lot of family stress in their time of loss. This honorable discharge paper is required by the county office for burial at our veteran cemetery. This includes county digging or a vault for ashes with a marker for the veteran and their spouse. For more information, call the Veterans Center at 5538387 in the morning.

On Friday, Sept. 9, the high school AmeriCorps group with coordinator, Siri Anderson, donated some beautiful plants (sweet basil, lemon grass, leaf onion, cherry tomatoes, malabar spinach) and some ono ono cookies to our veterans. Mahalo.

MVCV continues our ongoing fundraiser, the Memorial Wall, located in the lanai at our center at 81 Kaunakakai Place on the way to the pier. Thank you to all the veterans, individuals, families and organizations that have purchased our tiles. If interested and would like to see our wall, please stop by our Veterans Center anytime. Our black tile is $500 and the gray tile is $250. The wall currently has 41 black tiles and 76 gray tiles. For more information on our Memorial Wall, please contact our

chairperson, Ted Johns email ctjohns79@ gmail.com.

We are still recruiting all our veterans to support and join our organization by paying their lifetime membership of $100 or an annual membership from Oct. to Oct. of $25.

MVCV organization is still participating in Friendly Market Center Kokua Card Program with the blue cards. Whenever you shop at Friendly Market, use these blue cards for purchases of $5 and more, which the cashiers will punch out.

Mahalo to Friendly Market in receiving supplies and goods for our center and to all who have been supporting our Kokua Card Program.

The center is still in need of someone with expertise in creating a museumlike-set-up for all the pictures and military memorabilia that has been collected since at the bunker.

Veterans and ohana, come by our center, any time or day to check the bulletin board in the lanai for dates of Federal or State counselor visits, VA doctor DeFontes clinic schedule for the month, eye glass optician for eyeglass needs for veterans and the community people and any other veteran info on Molokai.

Students from Molokai High, Molokai Middle and Aka`ula schools attended the Student Day at the World Conservation Congress on Tuesday, Sept. 6. Maria Angst, Kaaipolohiwa Duvauchelle, Peyton Gillespie, Sherie Kaili, Ida Pongmulee, Marion Powell, and Reese Raguindin joined almost 1,000 students from across the state learn about international efforts and resources dealing with the environmental issues facing our planet today, and working to develop solutions.

The students had the opportunity of a lifetime as the Congress is held once every four years in different locations around the world. This year it was held for the first time in the U.S. While much of the information presented was grim given the serious nature of environmental decline and needs of a growing population, students were encouraged that there is still time to help make a difference in protecting our planet’s cultural and natural resources.

Separated into assigned working groups, students visited two of 10 educational pavilions featuring Water, Forests, the Hawaiian Pacific, Oceans and Islands, Business and Biodiversity, and Species Conservation and learned about the challenges and potential solutions regarding these issues.

Using a technique called “Design Thinking” students practiced brainstorming and supporting one another throughout the process to design solutions to problems faced in Hawaii and the rest of the world.

Student participation and ideas were fast

Call Us for Your Flu Shot

By Jon Mikami, RPh, and Kelly Go, women, or those with chronic health RPh, Molokai Drugs, Inc. The flu can hit senior citizens fast and furious! That’s because their immune systems weaken with age. If you’re over 65—or a caregiver for someone who is—keep the following in mind as we head into the flu season. The flu can hit anyone, though, so we have a message for you as well.

Last year, seniors really bore the brunt of the flu season. Sixty percent of flu-related hospitalizations and nearly 80 percent of deaths were among those 65 or older. One problem was that last year’s main strain of flu (H3N2) wasn’t included in the vaccine. So the vaccine was only 13 percent effective against it.

This year’s flu vaccine should be a better match for circulating strains of flu, according to U.S. officials. There’s also an adequate supply of vaccine.

More good news? A recent study has found that flu vaccines offer moderate protection for about six months.

That’s the length of most flu seasons.

The study’s findings suggest that a flu shot in early fall may prevent the greatest number of cases.

The Center for Disease Control recommends that everyone 6 months and older be vaccinated each year, but only about half of all Americans do.

Even if you’re young and healthy, getting a flu shot is important. If you’re keiki or kupuna—especially those older than 65 or younger than 2—pregnant

and furious and the room had hundreds of storyboards representing student lead action steps and solutions.

When asked about their experience, most of the students said they enjoyed working in groups with other students using the “Design Thinking” process.

“I enjoyed being with my group and really liked talking collaboratively," said Even Sherie who was the only female at a table with 13 male students.

Peyton also enjoyed being with other students from across the state and especially enjoyed the educational pavilions.

“I wish we had more time to learn more from each of the stations," Peyton said. "They were very educational."

Molokai LIVE students will use the learning and inspiration from the congress to develop action plans that benefit our community. Both Sherie and Ida suggested the group think about ways to reduce, reuse and recycle on campus. “There is a lot of waste generated and perhaps we can put some of that to better use, such as starting a composting pile and making sure we recycle.”

Be on the lookout for new environmental campaigns and projects launched by our students. We are welcoming of local partners and volunteers.

In it’s third of five years, Molokai LIVE offers after school programs to our island’s middle and high school students with the aim of sparking intellectual curiosity, improving scholastic results, and sharpening leadership potential. For more information, contact Karen Weiss 808-658-0604.

problems or weak immune systems. By protecting yourself, you also help protect others. A recent study showed that higher vaccination rates among young and middle-aged adults may lower the risk of flu among older people.

Talk to your doctor or one of us at Molokai Drugs about your best option. Seniors are also at greater risk for pneumonia—a complication of the flu.

So find out whether you also need the pneumococcal vaccine.

Stop flu in its tracks. If you do get the flu, you can help prevent its spread by washing your hands often and covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing. Also take antiviral drugs such as Tamiflu or Relenza, if prescribed.

These drugs attack the flu virus and stop it from growing.

You can get your flu shot right here, six days a week, without an appointment. We are ready and willing to make this as easy as we can for you.

So don’t delay. Get yours today. We also administer pneumonia, shingles, and whooping cough immunizations as well. Please call us at 808-553-5790 if you have any questions.

Nothing herein constitutes medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, or is a substitute for professional advice. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other medical professional if you have questions or concerns about a medical condition.

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

From the Ferry Captain To our valued passengers and supporters: We have received a lot of media interest regarding the shutdown. My position has been that the PUC certificate to operate needs to be surrendered to allow another operator to step in or better yet to set the stage for the State or the County of Maui to step up to the plate and take ownership of the ferry system.

It could be contracted out to any experienced operator (like ourselves) to operate much like the Maui Bus which is operated

by Roberts Hawaii but owned by the County. It is in the public's best interest to put the question of whether or not the State or County government is willing to fund a ferry operation. Molokai needs all the help it can get to stimulate the island's economy and free travel could be just the answer.

Therefore, I am suggesting the ferry be free to all Molokai residents.

In the past, the State Department of Business and Economic Development under Governor Waihee saw the need to support a ferry to Molokai. Hopefully the current administration will also support the ferry.

Finding public funding for a State or County run ferry system is much easier than finding funding for a private operator.

Please support a State or County run ferry to Molokai.

September 14, 2016 Jobie M.K. Masagatani, Chairman Department of Hawaiian Home Lands P.O. Box 1879 Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96805 These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about October 1, 2016 the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands will submit a request to the HUD for the release of Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant (NHHBG) funds under Title VIII-Housing Assistance for Native Hawaiians of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act (NAHASDA) of 1996, as amended, to undertake a project known as Kalama‘ula Residential Lots to provide infill housing opportunities within Kalama‘ula Subdivision. The project involves package home loans to finance new construction of up to 72 single-family homes. The estimated amount of NHHBG funds to be requested at this time is $2,000,000. The project is located in Kalama‘ula, Island of Moloka‘i, County of Maui.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The DHHL has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the DHHL Moloka‘i District Office (600 Maunaloa Hwy, Kalama‘ula, Hawai‘i, 96748) and the O‘ahu Office (91-5420 Kapolei Pkwy., Kapolei, HI 96707) and may be examined or copied weekdays 9:00 A.M to 4:00 P.M. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the DHHL Chairman’s Office at P.O. Box 1879, Honolulu, HI 96805. All comments received by September 30, 2016 will be considered by the DHHL prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.

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

OBJECTIONS HUD will accept objections to the DHHL’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the DHHL; (b) the DHHL has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participant in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to HUD office at 1132 Bishop St., Suite 1400, Honolulu, HI 96813. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

PTSD or Mefloquine Toxicity?

By Jesse Church Aloha my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. Veterans of Molokai, if you have been diagnosed with PTSD, especially post 9/11 veterans, there is a chance you may not have PTSD, but mefloquine induced toxicity. In the case of a Navy sailor who deployed to East Africa in 2009, he was given the anti-malaria drug mefloquine, as were all service members that were deployed to a part of the world that malaria is prevalent in.

According to his case study published online Drug Safety Case Reports, he was admitted to Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland for treatment of uncontrolled anger, insomnia, nightmares and memory loss. Physicians at the prestigious hospital diagnosed him with anxiety, PTSD and a thiamine deficiency, but after months of treatment with medication, behavioral therapy and daily doses of vitamins, nothing was helping. It was not until his doctors took a long hard look at his medical history, which included vertigo that began only two months into his Africa deployment, that they began to suspect mefloquine toxicity.

While no test is available to prove the sailor suffered from drug reaction, probability surveys tie his symptoms to the mefloquine. The authors of “Prolonged Neuropsychiatric symptoms in a military service member exposed to mefloquine” say their example is unusual because it shows that symptoms can last years after a person stops taking mefloquine. The symptoms are so similar to PTSD they often confuse doctors, and a diagnosis of mefloquine

SUDOKU PUZZLE & CROSSWORD ANSWERS

toxicity or PTSD is often uncorrected.

The drug, once used almost exclusively to prevent or treat malaria by the U.S. military because of its once a week dosage, has been designated the drug of last resort in 2013 by the Defense Department after the Food and Drug Administration slapped a boxed warning its label, noting it can cause permanent psychiatric and neurological side effects. In mefloquine’s use by the military nearly 50,000 prescriptions were written by military doctors. That figure dropped to an amazing 216 prescriptions in 2015, according to the Department of Defense. It now restricts military doctors to prescribe the drug only to personnel who cannot tolerate other preventives.

I can only hope that the U.S. military stops using the drug at all. Yet mefloquine remains on the market while Walter Reed Army Institute of Research conducts research on medications like tafenoquine trying to find a malaria preventive that’s less toxic.

Mefloquine was even implicated in a series of murder suicides at Fort Bragg in North Carolina in 2002, and media reports have also tried it to an increase in military suicides. Let me say the VA has also dropped the ball as always, if they have been trying to find a reason for veterans suicides, why did they not look into this? So please any Molokai veterans that has been diagnosed with PTSD, please get back to the VA and get a recheck, for yourself and your family.

Please keep your thoughts the election coming, or anything else you may want to talk about call old Jesse at 553-3323. Old Jesse loves you all, every man, woman, and child of Molokai, from the heart you are my family.

Aloha and mahalo.

Clarifying Air Subsidies

Mahalo for Support

It’s unfortunate that there doesn’t seem to be enough ridership to support the ferry. And while it’s true that Makani Kai Air has had an impact on the number of people riding the ferry, taxpayer assistance for the ferry will not bring those people back. People fly because it’s cheaper and faster.

Dave Jung is being disingenuous when he states that Makani Kai Air is using its Essential Air Service (EAS) money to subsidize flights between Molokai and Maui. The EAS funding allows Makani Kai to provide air

The Pactol ohana would like to thank the many family, friends and businesses that extended their help, support and sympathy in celebrating the life of Donald Pactol on Aug. 20. We appreciate your generosity and kindness during this time of loss. He is dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Mahalo to Hospice Molokai, St. Damien Catholic Parish, The Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints, Molokai High Classes of 1999, 2004 and 2009, Barbara Helm, Diane Duffy, Carol Kaimikaua, Puni and Oscar Ignacio, Rocky

service to Kalaupapa. Period. There’s no siphoning of funds for other operations and if Jung doesn’t know this then he should do his homework.

In theory, the ferry’s a good idea.

But it absolutely must support itself.

If a business model no longer fits people’s needs, it should be allowed to die.
