housands gathered on Kaunakakai's main street last Friday evening to celebrate paddling, culture, environmental stewardship and fellowship. The third annual Kulaia Canoe Festivals brought record numbers and a memorable line-up of special guests to welcome visiting paddlers for the Na Wahine O Ke Kai channel race as well as the Molokai community.

Molokai's Kelson "Mac" Poepoe, a well-known community leader, natural resource manager and fisherman who has worked to preserve the Mo`omomi area, was honored with the event's annual Ho`oilina award.

A special guest, renowned Hokule`a navigator and Polynesian Voyaging Society president Nainoa Thompson, came from New York -- straight from the vessel's Worldwide Voyage -- to present the award. He called Poepoe "a great man and a great friend."

"It's not just about Mac Poepoe, but it's about his values, it's about his life, it's about his commitment, it's about what he does for all of us," said Thompson in a moving speech on the stage in front of the Molokai Public Library. "We all are privileged to know him."

Thompson recalled walking along Mo`omomi with Poepoe decades ago.

fter being plagued by dangerous weather conditions in recent years, last Sunday dawned calm and clear for hundreds of paddlers taking on Na Wahine O Ke Kai. The worldrenowned race across Molokai's Ka`iwi Channel brings the toughest women

paddlers from around the globe to test their endurance and mental strength.

Though Molokai didn't race a full crew this year, several of the island's paddlers joined forces with other teams to make the crossing. See next week's paper for full coverage.

Why I fly with Makani Kai “My whole family flies with Makani Kai,” says Rebecca, who has six brothers and sisters. “I like flying with you because if I’m late due to traffic, I don’t have to worry: I can get here five minutes before the flight and it’s fine. If it was Hawaiian Air, I’d have to get there an hour ahead of time.” Rebecca, who is a psychology major at UH and hopes to work within the prison system one day, also appreciates Makani Kai’s down home style, “You have a real family vibe.”

Our Molokai High School AmeriCorps youth members chose to honor our Molokai veterans for the Sept. 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance.

Ida Pongmulee, Sonja Angst and Journey Miguel joined other Americans to unite in service in remembrance of the remarkable way that so many came together following the attacks in 2001.

Our AmeriCorps group was warmly greeted by Commodore Sam Makaiwi, Secretary Allen Diorec, and Watch Commander Ronald Pelekai who proudly gave us an impressive tour of their Veterans Caring for Veterans Center. Thanking our veterans for all they have done for our country, Sonja presented them with a poster highlighting beloved veteran, Larry Helm, which she inscribed with, "In loving memory of Larry Helm." Her vivid depiction brought Larry’s fight to build the Veterans Center to life.

The students were surprised to learn that our little island has proportionally the largest percentage of veterans in the state.

The displayed memorabilia made everyone acutely aware of Molokai’s contributions and sacrifices during World War II, the Vietnam War and the Iraq War. We also discovered that our Veterans Center is the only center owned by veterans in our state. Ida reflected on the experience, “I think it was really empowering to meet veterans who are treasures, not only for our community, but also for our nation.

Speaking with our veterans was like getting an oral history lesson. Their stories deserve to be told.”

Along with other AmeriCorps members, Ida, Sonja and Journey grew robust oregano, green onions, cherry tomatoes, basil, lemon grass and malabar spinach to start a garden to nourish our veterans.

This is in keeping with a “Healthy Futures” national AmeriCorps initiative. The students also baked 10 dozen special flag shaped red, white and blue shortbread cookies for our veterans Journey found, ”Our experience was touching because

KULAIA Continued From pg. 1 ment of Land and Natural Resources recognized his work and his connection to place and the ocean and designated the first -- the first -- community based marine conservation area ever in Hawaii," Thompson said. "Today, it's inspired like 25 different places in the state of Hawaii through the recognition that government by itself cannot protect what we love... it takes community."

Thompson said he saw Poepoe again before departing on the Wordwide Voyage to spread a message of malama honua -- caring for the Earth -- and how Poepoe's example inspired him to take on the risky endeavor.

"It's a privilege and honor... to acknowledge in my mind, one of the world's really great navigators," said Thompson of Poepoe. "The one by himself, set a course, set a vision, found a destination, went through all the challenges, kept doing it and inspired so much greatness in the possibilities of protecting the oceans."

Poepoe was showered with lei from family members and spoke of the feeling of being recognized on his home island, after receiving many statewide honors for his work.

"I talked to my wife and I told her, 'You know something, for all the awards I had, this one means the most to me,'" he said. "The reason for that being, this is from my own community, this is from Molokai, not from someplace around the world, from some place where people don't know me. This is from right here."

Council member Stacy Helm Crivello also presented Peopoe with a resolution on behalf of the Mayor's office and the Maui County Council.

"You are the embodiment of humility, wisdom that transcends years and a true essence of pono," the resolution reads. "Your reverence for the ocean, aina and the once abundant resources that blessed us are truly inspiring and encouraging...."

Kulaia is part of an effort to build positive relationships between paddlers and the Molokai community, be good hosts to the annual races as well as provide a platform for education about Molokai's fragile environmental resources. One of the event's organizers, LoriLei Rawlins-Crivello, said the event also

my uncle was a veteran. I finally found out what POW and MIA mean.” Sonja added, “I’ve never been to the veterans center. The building is beautiful, the vets were friendly and their stories are moving.

I think more people should visit!”

We would like to thank our Molokai veterans again for sharing their powerful stories and for their courage in serving our country. A mahalo also goes out to partner Molokai LIVE 21st Century Community Learning Center, especially master baker Jessica Saienni, who guided the cookie making process at the Molokai Middle School kitchen facility.

helps stimulate the island's economy by encouraging visiting paddlers to come into town and support local vendors.

Thirty-five Molokai crafters, jewelers, clothing designers and other artisans sold their products at the event, and a "cultural row" offered educational booths and free lomilomi demos. Food vendors filled the stomachs of attendees with favorite local dishes and a selection of hula and musical entertainment awed the crowd. Famed Hawaiian musician Willie K even gave a special two-hour performance when some of the musical line-up couldn't make it.

Kulaia is short for La Kulaia, which used to signify days of festivities to honor our beloved kingdom and monarchy, said event speaker Nahulu Maioho.

"During the Hawaiian Kingdom era, La Kulaia usually took place as a national holiday, where our kupuna would celebrate... days [at a] time, celebrating our mo`i, our beloved kings and queens of old," he said. "Historical records note that the Hawaiian outrigger canoe competitions were one of many events that took place during annual La Kulaia."

Today's Kulaia festival is an effort to restore that tradition, as well as offer solution-based ways to address a modern challenge.

"Our councilwoman, Stacy Helm Crivello, played a huge role in igniting this effort about four years ago when she convened a group of concerned fishermen, activists, DLNR and canoe race organizers bringing them to the table to address the huge concern of escort boats raking our ocean resources during these big races," said Rawlins-Crivello, via email.

"Through that effort, we saw an opportunity to bring forth ideas of bringing back the spirit of the festivals we remembered some 40 years ago in Hale o Lono."

She added that the event, which included closing Kaunakakai's main street, couldn't happen without the help of many community volunteers, organized and assisted by the Molokai Canoe Festivals Committee. She said once the street shuts down, the crew has only one to two hours to set up a massive backdrop, tables, booths and decorations.

"I was pretty shocked when I walked around the corner to see essentially the whole of Molokai here," chuckled Thompson. "You're... the power of community, that's come together to create this amazing unified celebration of who you are, what you believe in and what you stand for."

Maui Fundraiser Success for Shooters and Runners Wrap Molokai Candidate up Weekend Keani Rawlins-Fernandez Campaign News Release On Sept. 19, Keani Rawlins-Fernandez held a fundraiser at the Kahului Community Center for her bid for the Maui County Council seat to represent Molokai.

Over 100 people attended the community event, including many former Molokai residents, who have relocated for better job opportunities or for school.

The event was opened with Keani, standing with her family, performing an oli kahea (chant requesting permission to enter) and receiving an oli pane (chant to welcome) from Napua Greg-Nakasone, Maui County Council candidate, with candidates Alika Atay, Shane Sinenci, and Kelly King standing with Napua. Attendees called the event an “authentic expression of community cohesiveness” and an example of “what servant leadership is all about.”

Invoking her teal logo, Keani compared the sea of teal shirts standing in front of her to water, the most powerful element on earth. She said, “last week, we witnessed water's prowess when millions of gallons fell from the sky, rushed down the sides of the cliff, coming together and

moving boulders the size of buses. Like water, when we join forces, we too will move boulders, we will move mountains!”

Keani's campaign emphasizes the need to bring fresh, new ideas to solve ongoing issues plaguing the County. The government needs a new generation of thinkers and doers with the community's voice and support at the forefront. This campaign is about the community's vision for a better future, one that respects and takes care of our culture, natural resources, and our people.

This fundraiser would not have been the success it was without the kokua of Tereari`i “Rae” `Iao-Chandler, Jill Nunokawa, Lei`ohu Ryder, Maydeen `Iao, Regina and Wes, Sarah Maes, the Wallace `Ohana, the Higa `Ohana, the Lani `Ohana, Zhantelle and Hanale Lindo, Mikey Mina, Dolly Mawae, Toshi Fujita, and the musicians of Kua Ola. A big mahalo to them and all our campaign supporters, as we work together toward a better future for everyone!

he Molokai Boys CC team traveled to Maui last Saturday for the Seabury Hall Invitational. Head Coach Mahina Hou Ross took six runners, with Jake Samaniego finishing in sixth place with a time of 19:02. He was followed by Kaina Adolpho in 14th (19:31), Karter Kester in 34th (20:36), Nainoa Kahale in 35th (20:37), Ikua Deponte in 40th (20:53) and Erik Svetin in 95th (24:09). One hundred twenty-two boys ran the three mile course at Olinda, Maui. The boys will travel again to Maui on Oct. 8 for a race at King Kekaulike.

FOOTBALL Continued From pg. 1 Tabilangan led a potent Farmer offense as he was 5-6 for 137 yards with two touchdown passes, one to Decker Bicoy and the other to Kairos Torres-Umi. He also ran for another. Jayse Lalim-Rillon and Nalima Puaa-Aki both had two rushing touchdowns. Hauoli Caparida had a kickoff return for a touchdown and Kaimana Escobar and Makani Kaneaikala both had rushing touchdowns. "after putting in the hard work on the field and in the classroom, and months of practice, [the] win against Hana was a huge confidence boost and reestablishment of intensity," said Bicoy. "My teammates did an awesome job, but there is always room for improvement. Our next focus is Lanai.”

The Farmer defense was solid and held the Dragons to only 10 points. Cody Stone led the team with eight tackles.

Molokai’s defense led them last year to an undefeated season and a win over Seabury in the championship game.

Head Coach Mike Kahale was

peted in a Postal Shoot last weekend, meaning they shoot on their own here on Molokai and send in their scores to Maui.

Head Coach Chinky Hubbard had three boys and seven girls shooting this week.

For the boys, Jershon Kaalekahi came in third, Kaohele Kaiama was tied for fifth and Edwin Greenleaf came in 16th. Fortynine boys participated in the shoot countywide and the Molokai Boys came in sixth as a team.

The Girls also placed sixth as a team.

Sonja Angst led in eighth place, Journey Miguel tied for 16th, Campbell Kaalekahi tied for 25th, Fera Davis in 35th, Maria Angst tied for 38th, Melody Kaili-Kalua in 50th, Pa'a'aina Kee in 53rd place and Shaia-Ann English in 58th. Sixty-two girls participated in the competition.

pleased with his teams first game of the season.

“That was a good first game for us and most of our athletes got quality reps and it gave an opportunity for individuals to step and perform," he said. "Overall, I was pleased with our performance.”

Dudoit-Tabilangan started his first game at quarterback and his coach was pleased with his performance.

“Offensively we moved the ball well and we had close to 300 yards rushing and 6 different backs scoring touchdowns," said Kahale. "Jayden did well and he threw a couple of really nice deep balls.”

Dudoit-Tabilangan summed up what the sport means to him.

“Football is believing. Football is total commitment," he said. "Football is hard work, dedication and self sacrifice. Football is a team that beats with one heart.

Football is Farmer pride."

The Farmers will be on the road the next two weeks at Lanai and at Seabury.

If all goes well, Molokai hopes to host a semi-final playoff game here on Molokai on Oct. 22. The MIL championship game is scheduled for Oct. 27 at War Memorial Stadium on Maui.

Veterans Corner

Presidential election update

By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events.

Our Presidential candidates are really turning this election from an event that will be decided by the election into an event that will be decided by the military vote. They continue to have campaign rallies scheduled with the active duty military and veterans groups like Veterans for Foreign War and Disabled American Veterans. Hillary Clinton recently had a rally with the American Legion, and she had the gall to stand in front of those legionnaires and say she understood the workings of the military and that she would make a very good commander and chief. She went on to say that she would see to it that veterans, action duty military and their families would be taken care of, and that our country had every intention of honoring their promises to the military and veterans. I think the only thing she said that was true was when she said this, “oh my, it’s already lunch time.”

Donald Trump held a town hall meeting last week in Virginia Beach with veterans and some of the things he said sounded eerily similar to what Clinton's words. Trump told the group of veterans that he loved the military, and that he backs them in every way, and that they will have a good friend with him in the White House. He said he will work for them and their families, and that he would make the military great

and feared again. He then said that he would ensure in the future they would get the training, supplies, knowledge and skills needed along with good leadership in the officers to go in an end any conflict quickly, but again I have to say I will believe it when I see it.

In all my years I have never seen a Presidential election like this one; both candidates are making promises to the American people that everyone knows they cannot keep. American people are not stupid and will not be fooled by Clinton or Trump. I concur with the political experts and retired Generals and Admirals that whichever candidate becomes the next President, if they do not listen to their advisors and analysts, our country will be in deep trouble. One thing is for sure, and that is the military factor will decide the next President.

The VA medical clinic with Dr. DeFontes will be on Oct. 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 17,19, 20, 24, 25, 27 and 31, The hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Molokai General Hospital. Please call Sunshine at 553-3191 to arrange an appointment. The VA Eye Clinic will be on Oct.11 and 25 with Katrina, hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Veterans Center. Eye clinic is open to the public, with no appointment needed. For questions, please call Sunshine at 553-3191.

Please keep your calls coming with your election thoughts at 5533323 or anything else you would like to talk to old Jesse about. Remember old Jesse loves Molokai and its entire people every man, women, and child from the heart, you are my family. Aloha and mahalo.

Priority will be given to expired passports or passports expiring within the next six months, disabled or aged applicants and emergency travel.

Anyone wishing to reserve an appointment should bring the following items: Completed Application, Philippine Passport, Permanent Resident Card, and $6.45 priority stamp. If your current passport does not have an electronically readable chip, an NSO-issued birth certificate is also required.

Anyone with questions or needing more information may contact the County of Maui Immigrant Services Division at 270-7791. For general information about the Immigrant Services Division, visit mauicounty.gov/ immigrantservices.
