olokai fisherman Clay Ching and his daughters Katina Soares and Tabitha Pupuhi caught a rare sighting of orcas, also known as killer whales, on camera off the south shore of Molokai last week. The video, posted on social media by Pupuhi, has gone viral, with thousands of views and shares. The three were fishing about 13 miles offshore on Oct. 10 when they spotted four orcas, which came right up to their boat. Pupuhi said there were three larger whales and one smaller one. "We really couldn't believe our eyes!" said Pupuhi. "It was such a treat to see them not just in Hawaii but also in the wild. They're so beautiful!" The distinctive black and white whales are extremely rare to see in Hawaii. Research biologist Robin Baird reported only 21 sighting records in Hawaiian waters between 1994 and 2004. According to researchers, there are no resident populations of orcas in the Hawaiian Islands, and those that are seen are thought to be passing through the area. Very little is known about their population and life cycles, how-
ever, and video and photos of the animals in Hawaii are sought after by researchers trying to learn more about the species. "Since the video I made went viral on the Internet and was on a few of the local news stations, I learned via social media that the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology has been photo cataloging orcas in Hawaii for about 15 years now," said Pupuhi. "I've been in contact with the lead biologist, who asked for the video to add these whales to their catalog. After review of the video, at least one of the whales we saw was a match to one already in their catalog. This is the first confirmed re-sighting of an orca in Hawaiian waters!" In 2013, researchers tagged three orcas off Hawaii Island with satellite tracking devices, making history as the first orca tagging in Hawaii. “Most studies of killer whales worldwide have either been in the Pacific northwest in Alaska or down in

the Antarctic,” Baird told the Huffington Post at the time. “There has been relatively little work that’s been done in the tropics.” The video footage provided by Pupuhi may help learn more about this largely undocumented species. Orcas, in the dolphin family, are known to be extremely intelligent. They feed on fish, seals, seabirds, sharks and even larger whales. There have not been any documented attacks on humans by orcas in the wild. "The ocean is such a magical place, you really never know what you re going to find when you re out there," said Pupuhi. "We re all so thankful for such an amazing, once in a lifetime experience."

fter more than a year without a full time veterinarian on Molokai, pet owners can now breathe a sigh of relief: the Molokai Humane Society has a new resident vet at their clinic on Maunaloa Highway. Dr. Eric Jayne, who for the past 10 years has been known as “The Alaska Bush Vet,” has relocated to Molokai to provide his services to animals here. Jayne first came out to the island a year ago, and said he knew right away that he wanted the job, because he was quite ready for a change after so many years living in the Brooks Range of Alaska. “A friend of mine just texted and said they got a foot of snow up there,” he said. “September to the first week of June, it’s just white with snow. Which is fine. But after about 10 years of that? I just don’t even like the color white anymore,” he laughed. Jayne has been a veterinarian for 25 years, having completed more than 100,000 surgeries. He attended veterinary school at Iowa State University, and went on to work in Iowa, Arkansas and Washington. Then, after a memorable trip floating down the Yukon river with his four children, he felt inspired to move to Alaska to work with the rural native communities there who have very little access to consistent veterinary care. “Just going down the Yukon River through those remote villages, the rural people were so nice to us,” he said. “So I just wanted to repay that.” During his years working in Alaska, Jayne became known colloquially as “The Alaska Bush Vet.” He also began operating his own dogsledding business near Denali National Park, and often found himself using dogsled transportation to reach some of his patients in the remote villages. He would hold spay and neuter clinics in the villages, being sure to involve the children of the community whenever possible, in order to teach them basic animal care. The work was often emotionally and physically challenging, but Jayne said he found it rewarding and rarely boring. One patient in particular sticks in his mind. “I was in Nome, and there was this pet caribou," he recalled. "He would ride in the back of a pickup truck around town. He thought he was like a dog or something." Jayne said the caribou had a tumor on his chin. "We had to turn his rack sideways to get him in the doorway, it was so big," he chuckled. "So that was the probably the craziest thing. Just walking him into the little clinic was funny. The whole town was worried about him.” The treatment was successful, and the caribou recovered.
Molokai firefighters educated the public on fire safety and put on a show for the community with rescue demonstrations and a live fire burn. Captain Hanale Lindo was the MC of the event, while Smokey Bear and Sparky Dog also made appearances, and free fire safety giveaways were available for the keiki.

Veterans Corner Bloody Sunday
By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. The date is Oct. 23, 1983, 33 years ago, and the place is Beirut, Lebanon. At 6:22 on that Sunday morning, 350 Marines, sailors and soldiers lay asleep in a four-story building when a terrorist driving a large heavy truck loaded with equivalent of six tons of TNT started to pick up speed, and rumbled passed two guard posts. Lance Corporal Eddie DiFranco was manning the sentry post, he later said, “He looked right at me, smiled, that is,” and the last thing that Corporal DiFranco remembers is about two seconds later the truck exploding then woke up in the hospital, one of the lucky ones to survive. The blast was so very powerful that it had lifted the building in the air, severing off all the steel reinforced concrete support columns that were 15 feet in circumference, with no supports left to hold it up it self-destructed killing 241 U.S. military personnel, 220 marines, 18 sailors, and three soldiers, many were crushed to death in bed. I sincerely hope that the families of those who died that “Bloody Sunday” are told that their loved ones are American heroes, and that they will never be forgotten. That was not the only attack on that Bloody Sunday morning. A short time later, a second suicide bomber driving a second truck loaded with explosives neared the barracks of France’s first
Parachute Chasseur Regiment. As he began to speed up, guards were able to kill the driver just 15 yards short of the barracks. Unfortunately the driver was able to still detonate the device, bringing down the French barracks and killing 58 paratroopers in the process. A few of the French killed were standing on outside balconies trying to determine what happened at the U.S. base two miles away that woke them from sleep. The coalition forces in Lebanon on that bloody Sunday suffered 299 dead, and over 300 wounded, it was the worst single day death toll for the Marines since the battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. It happened because U.S. military commanders never learn from their mistakes, the attack on the U.S. Embassy but Colonel Tim Geraghty did nothing to bolster security at the Marine barracks to ensure that what happened at the U.S. Embassy would not happen again in Beirut. The Marines in Lebanon were operating under peacetime rules of engagement, which meant their weapons were not loaded, and the sentries at the guard posts had no way to stop that bomb truck. So why were the Marines with unloaded weapons, and the French weapons were loaded? Our troops in Lebanon in 1983 were not given a chance by their commanders, and the stupidity of U.S. military commanders and generals is unfathomable. If anyone would like to talk story please give old Jesse a call at 553-3323. Remember old Jesse loves Molokai and all its people, every man, women and child from the heart. Aloha and mahalo.

The Meaning of Ink Last week’s Veterans Corner discussed tattoos and the varied reasons behind getting permanently inked. As a person with numerous tattoos, I found some of the opinions expressed in the article offensive and would like to share my thoughts on this topic. It is an extremely personal decision to get a tattoo, and one that is not taken lightly. It is a permanent mark and is also ex-
pensive. I do not doubt that some people have felt pressured to get a tattoo or that it was a spontaneous decision, but I find it very hard to believe that the vast majority of people on Molokai do not have more meaning behind their ink. A military tattoo is no better, just different than other tattoos and is not the only type of tattoos with meaning behind it. All of my tattoos have been well thought out

and have a deep personal connection to me. One honors my mother and a shared medical condition, one is a tribute to my grandfather, one is a work of art completed by a good friend, and one reminds me of my roots and where I come from. The art of tattooing also has a huge cultural significance for Native Hawaiians. Each mark/design has a very particular meaning and can pay homage to
family and culture. Finally, I would like to add that I have no qualms “submitting myself to a tattoo artist’s needle” again and am proud to be an inked woman. Sincerely, Laura Pilz

The continuing saga of Richard, owner of Makani Kai Air, and his chowder head marketing guy, P.J. PJ:
Hey boss, wait ‘til you hear this!
RICHARD:
I am breathless with anticipation.
PJ:
Let’s advertise an airfare of $10…but when people go online to book it, they won’t be able to get that fare.
RICHARD:
Where do you come up with this stuff?
PJ:
The competition. They advertise some pretty low fares but you can’t actually book ‘em because they assign just one or two seats per flight at that rate. Very smart. It’s kinda like those $88 cars you see advertised in the paper.
RICHARD:
Now that’s just annoying. Why would we put our customers through that?
PJ:
People would get caught up in the spirit of getting a deal, eventually they’d give up and book a flight at our regular fare.
