Brush Fire Threatened Home
By Catherine Cluett Pactol | Editor
S
ix brush fires blazed on Molokai last week, five of which were small but deemed of suspicious cause on Tuesday, Sept. 27. A larger fire burned 10 acres near the Molokai Airport two days later, coming dangerously close to a home. On Tuesday around 5:45 p.m. Molokai firefighters responded to four separate brush fires, all around 200 to 300 yards apart, along the Maunaloa Highway near the Seventh Day Adventist Church. A fifth small fire was found one mile up the highway near Kamakou Forest Preserve Road. According to the Maui Fire Department, the largest fire was 20 by 50 feet in size. Two of the fires were extinguished by passing drivers. All five fires were fully extinguished by around 6:30 p.m. The Maui Fire Department said the cause of the fires remains under investigation, but called them suspicious. On Thursday, Sept. 29 at 8:30 a.m., firefighters rushed to the scene of a half-acre fire burning about a quarter mile south of the airport. The fire came as close as 50 yards to a home, but no damages or injuries resulted. The fire was brought under control about an hour and a half later, after it had burned 10 acres of brush. The fire department reported that 16 firefighters from all three Molokai stations in Ho`olehua, Kaunakakai and Pukoo came together to fight the blaze. A county water tanker as well as a fire department helicopter also assisted in the effort. The cause of the fire was undetermined.

STUDENTS INTERN WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES By Catherine Cluett Pactol | Editor

even Molokai High students will have the opportunity to intern with some of Molokai's 16 businesses that were selected to attend the Made in Maui County Festival (MIMCF) Nov. 4-5. The internship is a partnership between MHS's Career and Technical Education and Fine Arts departments, the county’s Office of Economic Development, Kuha`o Business Center, and vendors that will be participating in the MIMCF. The program is being piloted for the county here on Molokai. “This program has the potential to take our students to the next level in preparing for the business world," said Jennifer Hawkins, small business specialist with the Kuha`o Business Center. "Whether they plan to attend college or dream of starting their own business, we hope that this program provides them with added skills and experience
to accomplish their dreams!” The students began the program with interviews that helped place them with their business mentors to complete their 20-hour internship. Some students described the interview process as nerve-racking, while others said they felt comfortable. “This interview helped me to understand that I need to explore more things and that when I interview, I need to be clear and not worry about being nervous," said one student. "I’ll definitely practice before another interview, do more research, and dress better." Students received feedback the interview committee, which helped them grow and improve. “Some feedback that I got was that I had a great attitude, was honest about my weaknesses and that I should keep surrounding myself with positive people and get all the business experience

t the age of 14, a young Indian girl, the only daughter of her immigrant Gujarati parents, moves from New York, to the tiny island of Molokai, Hawaii. She brings with her a lifeline of hip-hop music, her own written rhymes, and a hope for peace in her family. This story, the real life experience of Molokai High School alumni Sonia Patel, is also the story of the main character in her debut young adult novel, "Rani Patel in Full Effect." Patel, whose family used to own Maunaloa General Store and Jo Jo’s Cafe during her teenage years, has since relocated to Oahu, where she is a psychiatrist with a special emphasis on the issues of young women. Her first novel, a passionate exploration of culture, family systems and adolescence, puts to use her talent for and love of hip hop mu-sic, as well as her unique experiences as the daughter of immigrants, and the only student at MHS whose family was from India. “I’m hoping that Molokai readers
will enjoy recognizing all the places that I talk about in the book, and some of the activist issues,” she said. “I’m hoping I reflect that accurately, like the water issues, and Native Hawaiian sover-eignty, as well as how history is viewed perhaps differently by people who are raised there, as opposed to those who come from the outside.” Patel’s book follows the journey of the main character, Rani, as she navigates her adolescent years, first in New York, then on Molokai. The book explores how Rani’s unique set of tragic and beautiful experiences begin to form the character of the woman she will become. At the same time, the reader is pushed beyond the arc of the characters story to more deeply explore the psychological effects of each of Rani’s experiences. “This understanding of how your past or genetics affects the way you think, feel and behave -- that’s how I got into the field of psychiatry,” said Patel. “I was most attracted to helping teens because I think that was for me where I got the most stuck. I felt passionately about helping teen girls through that difficult time and I thought, ’Why not help

Why I fly with Makani Kai “I’m comfortable here, it’s like home,” says Gayla of the Makani Kai facility. A fourth generation Hawaiian Homesteader, she likes the communal atmosphere of the place, “All my friends are here.” Gayla, who does community outreach for the OHA, says the staff is always accommodating, “I’m here two hours early for my flight, so they put me on the 8:30 instead.” But the biggest selling point for Gayla? “The bathrooms are clean. That’s important to me. And the hand soap smells good.” Whatever we can do to make your travels better.

Channeling the Strength By Catherine Cluett Pactol | Editor
T
he world-renowned Na Wahine O Ke Kai race two weeks ago brings the toughest women paddlers from around the globe to test their endurance and mental strength. Unlike recent years, the day of race dawned calm and bright at Hale O Lono Harbor, bringing ideal paddling conditions. 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. Molokai's Coral Gonzales joined up with Team Bradley, which was the first to finish the 41-mile race to Oahu in a time of 6:05:34. Four Molokai women also paddled with Hawaiian Canoe Club. For Sydney Kalipi, it was her seventh crossing, and even though she was paddling with a crew she'd never practiced with before, she said paddling is something they all have in common. "They go over how they do things [ahead of time]," she said, and having grown up on Maui, she added that she knew some of the crew members already. "It really tests you -- it's fun to be out there." Molokai's Bobbi Morris experienced her first crossing this year, also paddling with Hawaiian. "I'm nervous but stoked to have this opportunity," she said before the race start. Crews came from as far away as Japan to have that opportunity to paddle the famed channel. It was Team Japan's sixth crossing this year. Team member Yumi Oshima said the country has about 20 paddling teams, and Sunday's crew was comprised of members selected from among them. "We bring this experience back to Japan," said team captain Ryoko Miura, saying her crew's goal was "going for a close time" with the race's best teams. For the Washington Canoe Club from Washington, D.C., paddling the ocean swells posed a new challenge for many team members, who practice the sport on the "flat" Patomic River, said Pam Boteler.
"The biggest challenge will be staying within ourselves and listening to our experienced steerswomen," said Boteler at Hale O Lono. "We're looking forward to being in the moment... how hard women fought to get this... it's emotional. If we stay together and blend, good things happen." Race director Hannie Anderson is no stranger to fighting for the honor of crossing the Ka`iwi. Shortly after the men's race began in 1952, women wanted to join the crossing but were told they couldn't handle the dangerous channel conditions. Anderson and other women determined to prove them wrong, and in 1975, in an unofficial crossing, two women's crews were the first to paddle the Ka`iwi. "Look at these Na Wahine women, look at them!" said Anderson, bringing cheers from the crowd of women before her. "It really thrills me. And they said women couldn't do it? Uh-uh! You women can do it!" Molokai's Miki`ala Pescaia offered oli for safety, sharing words of power and aloha with the paddlers. "We're so proud and happy when we're able to share what we have," she said of Molokai. "It's a privilege for us to be visited by so many of you." After dangerous conditions cancelled last year's race, Pescaia said it affirmed to her and others of the importance of pule both for better conditions and the safety of everyone who made the crossing. She also reminded the paddlers of the importance of those who came before them and those to enabled them to stand at the race's start. "There's a lot of people that helped get you to this point," Pescaia told the sea of women gathered before her. "And so, when you gotta dig deep, when you think you don't have enough, see those faces, hear those names, hear those voices, and harness that mana to keep you going and keep you safe." This Sunday, Oct 9, male paddlers will make their Ka`iwi Channel crossing from Hale O Lono Harbor in the Molokai Hoe, starting at 8 a.m.

s female canoe teams from all over the world put their boats into the water at Hale O Lono two weeks ago to begin the most important race of their season, one paddler said her final goodbye to the shores of Molokai, as she began what was the last race of her career. Lindsey Shank, of the Waikiki Beach Boys women’s outrigger canoe team, came to Hawaii in 2008 to study oceanography. As a chemistry grad student, she had taken part in a research cruise from Hawaii to Papau New Guinea, and along the way, fell in love with the ocean, and with Hawaii. Shank had been a competitive ski racer in her childhood and shortly after relocating to Oahu, she joined the novice crew at the suggestion of someone in her graduate program. “The first time I held a paddle in my head I felt a connection to the sport already," said Shank "I just knew it was going to be really good and that I was going to really enjoy it.” The first time she came to Molokai, to participate in her Na Wahine O Ke Kai, Shank said she was overcome with emotions. “It was incredibly exciting. The energy of everybody arriving, the pre-race meetings, going down and rigging the canoes at Hale O Lono," she explained. "You
hear about these things, but when you actually get to see it, there’s an energy about that place that almost buzzes. It was exciting, overwhelming.” In her first Na Wahine O Ke Kai race, Shank and her team, the second crew of Waikiki Beach Boys, placed 18th. Shank began a grueling training schedule during the one-man canoe racing season, to ensure that by the next six-man season, she would be on first crew. As the one-man season began, Shank paddled solo twice a day, every day, squeezing training sessions in between a demanding class schedule at the University of Hawaii. In her first one-man season, she placed in the top three paddlers in several short-course races. By the next six-man season, Shank made it onto the first crew. That season, her team took second place in the Na Wahine O Ke Kai channel race. Then, in 2011, they took first place. “It was all our first time winning," she said. "We had been working so hard that year. There were weeks in a row where we watched the sun rise and set in canoes. We put everything we had into that race.” The team took second place the following two years, and then took first place again in 2014. Shank made a name for herself in a sport where many “come out of the womb with a paddle in their hand.” This year, her team finished fourth in Na Wahine.

By Rick Schonely | Sports Reporter The Molokai High School Lady Farmers Volleyball team completed a sweep of the Seabury Hall Spartans last weekend at The Barn in Ho`olehua. The Farmers improved their record to 6-2 on the season, with their only losses coming early in the season against first place Hana (6-0). The Spartans are 5-3 on the season and have lost three of their last four MIL matches after winning 49 straight. On Friday, Molokai won a long fiveset match in front of a big loud crowd. The final score had Molokai winning 20-25, 2510, 9-25, 25-19 and 15-7. Senior Brooke Kelihoomalu had five aces, 12 digs and two blocks. Senior Luhi Pedro had eight kills and two blocks. Sophomore Mary Rose Ringor led the team in digs. On Saturday, Molokai wasted no time, defeating Seabury in three sets 25-18, 25-14 and 25-23. Mary Rose Ringor had 16 digs, five aces and three kills. Sophomore Kaitlin DeRouin had 10 digs and Keliihoomalu had two blocks and good overall game. Junior Shaelyn McCutcheon and Keliihoomalu led the team in kills.
“Having this being my last year and as a team captain, I'm extremely proud of my team for putting in the work this weekend to get both wins," said Keliihoomalu. "It's been about six years since our team has last beaten Seabury Hall and so it made these wins even extra special. It was an amazing feeling, and a moment I don't think any of us will ever forget.” Head Coach Mahea Rawlins has her team playing well and is excited for this weekend’s home match up with Lanai. “We excelled in our game plan and we played together as a team," she said. "Our defense did really good and I'm very proud of my team. We took control of our side of the court and played with heart and our captains did awesome in controlling our team.” Molokai will host Lanai this weekend at The Barn and will honor this year’s seniors on Friday night at 7 p.m. Saturday's game will be at noon. The Lady Farmers will then have a bye week before the MIL Tournament on Lanai Oct. 19-22. This year’s State Tournament is on Oahu Oct. 26-29.

Football Faced Off Lanai By Rick Schonely | Sports Reporter The Molokai High School eight-man football team traveled to Lanai last weekend and got the road win over the Pinelads 60-12, improving their season record to 2-0. Senior Keolewa Davis-Mendija had four touchdown runs with a long of 65 yards in the opening quarter. Freshman Kaimana Nakayama added another score on a bootleg run. Sophomore Jayse LalimRillon had a short run up the middle for a touchdown and also added an interception return for a touchdown. Senior Decker Bicoy had two “pick six” of 20 and 35 yards on defense. Head Coach Mike Kahale was pleased with his teams play. “Offensively, we started a bit sluggish and Lanai came at us with a welldesigned passing attack," he said. "We had to make some adjustments on defense and our boys eventually got back on track in the second quarter." Kahale noted that senior quarterback Makani Kaneaikala filled in well for normal starting quarterback, senior Jaden Dudoit-Tabilangan, was not able to travel with the team to Lanai.

The journey to homeownership for Kalama'ula's newest homesteaders came to a close late last month when Happy Kaleikini and Conrad "Zuzu" Aquino received the keys to their new Molokai homes. These new homes are the first in the State of Hawaii to be completed under the Department of Hawaiian Home Land's Package Home Financing Program. The Package Home program is designed to help low-income Native Hawaiian families maintain their vacant homestead lot by financing the cost of packaged home materials and saving participants as much was $120,000 over the course of 30 years. Happy Kaleikini, originally received his homestead lease in 1985, but was unable to afford the cost of construction at the time. As a result the lot remained vacant for decades. Happy, his wife Irma and their daughter Ruby Emnase lived on the mainland for 20 years to seek better employment op-

informs the story of her main character. As Rani seeks to find her place in the world around her, she finds solace and empowerment in hip-hop music and slam poetry, something the author says was drawn from her real life experiences. “I remember the first Run DMC song I ever heard. It changed my life,” Patel said. “I was very into hip-hop by age 10 or 11. I was lucky because I was in New York during the Golden Age of hiphop [in the 80s]... when it became more politically and socially conscious. It was an exciting time. It was this form of female empowerment and strength that I could relate to, that I couldn’t find in my family or other places.” Throughout her life, and during her years on Molokai -- graduating
portunities in hopes of someday returning home. Conrad "Zuzu" Aquino spent the last 10 years living in Molokai's remote north shore valley of Wailau. While Zuzu was content spending his days fishing and living off the land, this opportunity to build a home base for himself and live closer to his mother Leiola, sister Candy and his nieces and nephews was one he could not refuse. Both homesteaders will be paying approximately $400 a month for their mortgage on a two bedroom, two bathroom packaged home from HPM Building Supply. The homes were built by local contractor Comstock Construction, Inc. DHHL’s Package Home program has since expanded to Ho`olehua Residential Lots. For more information on the program, please contact DHHL’s Michelle Hitzeman, HALE Housing Specialist at (808)620-9236 or by email at michelle.m.hitzeman@hawaii.gov.
from MHS in the class of '91 -- Patel had amassed a binder full of her own poetry and hip hop lyrics which, she said, eventually flowed into her first book. Of her decision to write it, she said, “At some point it was like I couldn’t not write it. It was a therapeutic thing for me. Writing it was my way of finally really resolving things that I’d gone through. Now that it’s done, it has re-solved a lot of personal struggles and helped me see that I can offer a lot to patients that I couldn’t have learned in med school or residency. I see how things have come full circle and I have a greater appreciation for how family struggles can affect people, especially teens.” Patel will be back on Molokai for a book signing and reading at the Molokai Public Library on Oct. 11, at 3 p.m. For more information about Patel, her current novel, or her upcoming work, "The Calamitous Love of Jaya and Ra-sa," go to soniapatel.net.

Unless you're well-trained, you might experience altitude sickness. Wicked thunderstorms are a regular occurrence during the summer. Snow falls year-round. But back in 1929, an adventurer named Bill Williams decided the task of hiking to the summit wasn't tough enough. He sought a more demanding challenge. Wearing kneepads, he spent 21 days crawling along as he used his nose to push a peanut all the way up. I advise you to avoid ARIES (March 21-April 19): At a recent party, a guy I hardly making him your role model in the coming weeks, Virgo. Just know questioned my authenticity. "You seem to have had an climb the mountain. Don't try to push a peanut up there with easy life," he jabbed. "I bet you haven't suffered enough to be your nose, too. a truly passionate person." I didn't choose to engage him, but LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "It isn't normal to know what mused to myself, "Not enough suffering? What about the time we want," said psychologist Abraham Maslow. "It is a rare and I got shot? My divorce? My five-year-long illness? The manager difficult psychological achievement." He wasn't referring to the of my rock band getting killed in a helicopter crash?" But after question of what you want for dinner or the new shoes you plan that initial reaction, my thoughts turned to the adventures that to buy. He was talking about big, long-term yearnings: what have stoked my passion without causing pain, like the birth of you hope to be when you grow up, the qualities you look for my daughter, getting remarried to the woman I divorced, and in your best allies, the feelings you'd love to feel in abundance performing my music for excited audiences. I bring this up, Ar- every day of your life. Now here's the good news, Libra: The next ies, because I suspect that you, too, will soon have experiences ten months should bring you the best chance ever to figure out that refine and deepen your passion through pleasure rather than exactly what you want the most. And it all starts now. hardship. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It's the Frank and Focused Feedback Phase, Taurus -- prime time to solicit insight about how you're doing. Here are four suggestions to get you started. 1. Ask a person who loves and respects you to speak the compassionate truth about what's most important for you to learn. 2. Consult a trustworthy advisor who can help motivate you to do the crucial thing you've been postponing. 3. Have an imaginary conversation with the person you were a year ago. Encourage the Old You to be honest about how the New You could summon more excellence in pursuing your essential goals. 4. Say this prayer to your favorite tree or animal or meadow: "Show me what I need to do in order to feel more joy."
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Practitioners of the Ayurvedic medical tradition tout the healing power of regular self-massage. Creativity expert Julia Cameron recommends that you periodically go out on dates with yourself. Taoist author Mantak Chia advises you to visualize sending smiles and good wishes to your kidneys, lungs, liver, heart, and other organs. He says that these acts of kindness bolster your vigor. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time to attend to measures like these, Scorpio. I hope you will also be imaginative as you give yourself extra gifts and compliments and praise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The coming weeks will be one of the best times ever for wrestling with God or tussling with Fate or grappling with karma. Why do I say that? Because you're likely to emerge triumphant! That's right, you lucky, plucky contender. More than I've seen in a long time, you have the potential to draw on the crafty power and unruly wisdom and resilient compassion you would need to be an unambiguous winner. A winner of what?You tell me.What dilemma would you most like to resolve? What test would you most like to ace? At what game would you most like to be victorious? Now is the time.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Many of my readers regard me as being exceptionally creative. Over the years, they have sent countless emails praising me for my original approach to problem-solving and art-making. But I suspect that I wasn't born with a greater talent for creativity than anyone else. I've simply placed a high value on developing it, and have worked harder to access it than most people. With that in mind, I invite you to tap more deeply into your own mother lode of innovative, imaginative energy. The cosmic trends favor it. Your hormones are nudg- CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Are you grunting and sweating you in that direction.

Veterans Corner PTSD and marijuana By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. Are you a U.S. military veteran? Have you experienced post-traumatic stress disorder? Researchers in Maryland and Arizona are looking for veterans volunteers to smoke up to two joints' worth of marijuana a day in a new study designed to find out if pot helps relieve symptoms of PTSD. The study volunteers will complete 17 outpatient study visits over 12 weeks and a six month follow up visit. Eligibility is determined by medical evaluations and a small compensation for participants is provided. This study is being conducted by Dr. Sue Sisley who organized it for the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, and will be conducted at John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, and Dr. Sisley’s Scottsdale Research Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. Seventy-six combat veterans may apply in Arizona by emailing their contact information to Arizona@marijuanasites.org. Veterans on the East Coast can apply in Baltimore by calling 410-550-0050 and give them your information. Enrollment began on Sep.6. Dr. Sisley said that the ideal candidate will have a disability rating from the VA for combat related PTSD, but otherwise be in good health and have no other major medical issues. Veterans with traumatic brain injuries will be eligible to participate. Candidates should already have been treated by the VA for PTSD with therapy and or prescription drugs, and still has symptoms. Dr. Sisley said participants can be completely new
to marijuana or already an experienced user. After an initial two weeks screening and assessment, participants will randomly be assigned to smoke one of four types of marijuana. The first has high levels of THC, or tetrahydro-cannabinol, the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, which scientists believe acts on receptors in memory and fear processing centers of the brain. The second has high levels of CBD or cannabidiol which studies show may provide an antidepressant effect, and reduce anxiety. The third has an equal ratio of THC and CBD, the veterans alliance for medical marijuana has told study organizers it is favored by combat veterans who say they are successfully using marijuana to relieve PTSD. The forth is a placebo with no significant levels of either THC or CBD. The first two days, veterans will be observed for four hours after smoking to ensure they do not have any adverse reactions, they also get a physical exam and in depth psychological assessment, which will be repeated at the end of the study, and regular blood tests will be done throughout the study. This is the most indepth and well throughout study on the subject of using marijuana as a treatment plan for PTSD that I know about that the VA has looked favorably at and actually has helped, I hope something good comes of this. Please keep your calls coming with your election thought or anything else you would like to talk about call old Jesse at 553-3323. Remember old Jesse loves Molokai and all its people, every man, woman, and child from the heart, you are my family. Aloha and mahalo.

Supporting Stacy Helm Crivello Opinion by William Akutagawa
I am supporting Stacy Helm Crivello to continue as Molokai’s representative on the Maui County Council. Stacy brings honesty, integrity, dedication, experience and an abiding love for the Molokai she has spent most of her life in serving. She comes with a rich history grounded in Native Hawaiian cultural values, a love for `ohana, especially our Kupuna. Stacy carries a wealth of experience in serving all facets to make Molokai the place it is today. Her family roots go deep connecting to Hana and her immediate `ohana who calls Molokai home. As the founding executive director of Na Pu`uwai, Stacy has supported health care through her tenure on the boards of Na Pu`uwai Native Hawaiian Health Care System and the statewide Papa Ola Lokahi board with responsibilities affecting the health of Native Hawaiians throughout Hawaii. Stacy reflects her wide breadth of knowledge of island issues through her representation on several boards, such as being a founding member of the Molokai Community Health Center and the Molokai Land Trust that led to the organization receiving more than 1600 acres from Molokai Ranch that is now a conservation preserve with no future development. She led Ke Aupuni Lokahi
Enterprise Community that focused on education, health, financial partnerships, both public and private, and attracting off island investment in our community. She worked to secure the water treatment system that the Molokai Dialysis Facility now uses as well as helping to bring dialysis services to the patient resident community of Kalaupapa. Stacy continues to be a part of the Kalamaula Hawaiian Homestead Association and was a vital and integral part of the restoration of historic Kalanianae`ole Hall. Stacy is not single focused, but understands that balance is critical in addressing employment, improvements in health care, education for young children and adults and their need for higher educational opportunities, and encouraging them to return home and be leaders in our community. These traits that led to the shaping of Stacy’s inner core took years to develop. She is not reckless, but I know that she is well equipped to carry out my hope for a better Molokai and a prosperous Maui County. I have utmost confidence in Stacy’s decision-making skills will affect my family and community in the years to come. Join me in voting for the logical candidate for our county seat, Stacy Helm Crivello. Mahalo!

Campaign Visit to Molokai Opinion by Nick Nikhilananda I want to thank the hundreds of Molokai residents who I met while campaigning last weekend. It was wonderful to be back on Molokai. There were Appolonio, Scott, Ron, Ted, Levie, Elizabeth, Kimo and scores of others who, as I went door to door, shared with me their concerns for Molokai and the 13th State House District. As I was sign waving across from Rawlins Chevron, people came by to talk story or slowed down to say hi. There were the people at Friendly Market, who took the time to truly engage in what they felt I could do to help them in the next legislative session. Then there were the many people such as Rick who called with suggestions. Joe was so hospitable in showing me around and offering first class accommodations. What truly humbled me was how many people remembered Maui Talks-TV, the live talk show I produced and hosted for nine years on Akaku and all of you who watched it and even called in to the show. Finally Liette at Sundown Deli, where I had breakfast prior to returning to Maui. Our district, which includes all of Molokai, plus the North shore and East Maui communities and Lanai, are facing many challenges. The reapportionment commission put us all together, the only
canoe district in the State legislature. We need someone educated to handle our diverse issues. I have a Master's degree in public law and have traveled around the world, visiting all 50 states and over 50 countries on five continents. I have lived on Maui 30 years and in District 13 for over a quarter of a century. I have been active in the community that entire time. Molokai is challenged with sufficient water, the need for improvement to our public schools, the medical and employment opportunities which are on everybody's mind, the degradation of what one person informed me is Molokai's “refrigerator,” as fish stocks are rapidly diminishing, amongst other items. We must have a legislator representing us with the critical thinking to take on these challenges and the vision to put forth beneficial proposals. I cannot do it alone. I need all of the residents on Molokai, those who will vote for me next month and those who will not, to step up to the plate and share what are your needs, concerns, wants and desires for not only yourself, but your children and their children. We can do this together. Visit my website at friendsofnikhilananda.com/, email nikhilananda@ hawaiiantel.net, or call me at 808-572USUS(8787). Mahalo for your support.

Conquering the Hana Relay
By Molokai Gone Wild Team The 45th annual Hana Relay featured an incredible 52 mile journey along 617 curves and over 56 bridges through the most breathtaking scenery in all of Maui. The course begins in the Kahului Airport area and proceed along the Hana Highway to finish at the Hana Ball Park, and this year, the challenging course was conquered by a Molokai team. According to yourdictionary. com, endurance is defined as the act of working very hard without stopping, even in the face of difficult situations or pain. An example of endurance is what a runner has to have to get through a race. That word endurance painted a perfect picture of what our team Molokai Gone Wild displayed in this year’s relay. With a combined total of 100
teams, with over 500 runners, Molokai Gone Wild put forward a good run for their first year alongside annual seasoned runners coming from across the nation. Molokai Gone Wild put up a good fight running 52 miles in 8 hours, 22 minutes and 21 seconds. The team, pictured here from left to right, was Nahe Kawano, Keoni Farm, Nahiwa Naki, Olelo Schonely, Momi Friel, Kelley Dudoit, Kealoha Hooper and Tiana Merino. On Behalf of the Molokai Gone Wild Team we would like to extend our love and gratitude to our remarkable `ohana, friends and community for all their love and support. For most of us, we find it humorous to be labeled as runners, were just a group a friends that got together ignoring the risk, took a chance and allowed the unexpected.
Pet Care Advice By Eric Jayne, D.V.M., Molokai Humane Society
At the Molokai Humane Society, we recently had an animal come in that had swallowed a fish hook. The owners had seen this happen and had tried to quickly grab the fishing line as it was being swallowed. This is the instinctual but incorrect thing to do. Fortunately, they weren’t quick enough and the hook made it into the stomach where it was easily removed by a surgery. If the hook had become embedded in the esophagus, this would have turned into a very difficult or impossible surgery. It is very hard to get a hook out of the esophagus. The surgery would require an endoscope and specialized tools, which we do not have on Molokai. This could have happened if the owner had pulled back on the fishing line before the hook was in the stomach. If you see your pet swallow a fish hook just let it go on down. The best place for the hook to end up is in the
stomach. Here, your veterinarian can remove it with an easy surgery. In the past month, we have seen two horses suspected of having tetanus. One survived and the other did not. Both were unvaccinated. Tetanus can occur when an animal gets a puncture wound. If a certain bacteria -- Clostridium tetani -- is present, then this bacteria can secrete a toxin that causes tetanus. The toxin causes muscle twitching, incoordination, trouble standing, spasms, and can progress to paralysis of the esophagus and breathing muscles. Death is common. The puncture wound causing this can be a very small one, sometimes unnoticed by the owner. It is easily prevented by vaccination. Foals can start their vaccine series at one to four months of age. All horses should receive a vaccine booster annually. Tetanus is an often fatal disease that is easily prevented with vaccination. The tetanus vaccine is available through us. You can call the Molokai Humane Society at 558-0000.

The continuing saga of Richard, owner of Makani Kai Air, and his chowder head marketing guy, P.J. PJ:
Hey boss, I noticed our flights to and from Molokai were sold out during the canoe races. Let’s do what the competition does and jack up our rates on those weekends.
RICHARD:
And we would do this because?
PJ:
Think of the extra revenue we could get! We could charge double and people would pay it.
RICHARD:
Haven’t I taught you anything?
PJ:
Say what?
RICHARD:
What’s our slogan?
PJ:
Oh, the “Fifty dollars for every seat on every flight every day?”
RICHARD:
That’s the one.
PJ:
Yeah, but we could write in tiny type, “Except on race weekends.”
RICHARD:
You’re not from Hawaii, are you?
PJ:
Ah, no.
RICHARD:
Back to your room, PJ.
