MOLOKAI FERRY ENDS SERVICE

he Molokai Boys Cross Country team returned from from Maui last Saturday as Maui interscholastic League Division II champions. They beat Lanai and Seabury by one point, 132133, to be named the DII champs. Jake Samaniego finished in fifth place overall with a time of 19:00 and will be joined at the State Tournament on Hawaii Island on Oct. 29 by Kaina Adolpho (16th with 19:48) and Karter Kester (33rd with 20:58).

Molokai’s other boys finishers were Diego Dupont (37th, 21:27), Nainoa Kahale (46th, 22:01), Alex Mawae (51st, 22:17) and Erik Svetin (58th, 24:01).

“The boys all ran their best race of the year and peaked at the right time to give us a chance at the DII title," said boys Head Coach Mahina Hou Ross. "We had finished third in our first two races but knew we had a chance if everyone ran a good race and all of the training paid off."

With the final scores so close -- both Seabury and Lanai had 133, and Molokai finished the race with 132 -- Ross said it came down to each boy's finish. He said both Dupont and Kahale both beat a crowd of runners in the final 200 meters of the race, sprinting to the finish line.

"When the final scores were calculated it was just enough," Ross said. "They all showed true Molokai Farmer excellence."

The girls team finished in seventh place overall and Cameryn Kahalewai qualified for states with a 29th place finish and a time of 25:35. Keeya Bicoy finished in 34th (27:39) and is a second alternate for states. Other finishers for Molokai were Kelsey Bicoy-Juario (38th, 28:05), Kaitlin Naeole (44th, 30:14) and Kayla Derouin (49th, 32:54).

Girls Head Coach Gene Santiago was happy for his team.

“Congratulations to our girls for a successful season!" he said. "Congratulations to Keeya for scoring second alternate to the state, and congratulations to Cameryn for finishing 29th and securing a spot to going to the state championships on Hawaii Island.... I am so proud of all of them for their attentiveness and their commitment during this season of training!”

pacities.

However, he pointed out that because of the tourists that would come on the ferry for day-long van tours of the island, the ripple effect will be noticed.

"Van drivers, people serving lunch, gas bought to drive vans, crucial money into the economy... that’s all gonna be lost," said Jung. "The economic impact is going to be much greater than the 10 employees."

Sea Link reported dropping numbers for both tourists and locals. In January of this year, Sea Link reported tour passengers at 848 and non-tour passengers at 843. In July, those numbers had fallen to 524 and 335, respectively. That shows a 50 percent decrease in just seven months.

When reviewing their closure request, the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) analyzed those numbers, they noted a similar 50 percent decrease in the first half of 2015.

Within the public comment period,

21 comments were submitted to the PUC, 19 of which supported the ferry's continued service. Many mention the school's need for the ferry in transporting sports teams to Maui.

Molokai High School Athletic Director Lee DeRouin said the biggest team that will be affected is the football team because of the large number of players and families, as well as equipment, that must be transported. But he said he has received confirmation that Lahaina Cruise Company may still work with them on a charter basis to get the team to Maui. Alternatively, he said they can try to schedule with the airlines.

"Bottom line is we’re losing a resource," he said. "My concern if there’s a serious situation where airlines aren’t able to come, that was a resource to the community."

The biggest impact for athletics,

fter three decades of service, the Molokai Princess ferry running between Kaunakakai and Lahaina will sail its final trip this week. Last week, the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) approved the request of the ferry operator, Sea Link of Hawaii, to cease service, noting falling ridership and financial losses.

"We’ve lost over $1 million in the last four years trying to keep the ferry alive," said President and Captain Dave Jung.

The ferry's last trip will be on Thursday, Oct. 27. The ferry service began in 1986 when Gov. John Waihee encouraged the company to run a ferry out of Molokai.

At that time, it received a $30,000 monthly state subsidy, allowing the company to provide discounted tickets to daily commuters.

Sea Link is a subsidiary of Lahaina Cruise Company, and Jung said the Molokai Princess' current crew of 10 will be assimilated by the company in other ca-

The Mo`omomi area has become one of the most populated colonies in the state, growing from just a few nests in the last 90s to more than 1,000 nests today. The annual banding project helps researchers track populations and learn more about the indigenous seabird species. The banding is led by Maui Nui Seabird Recovery Project, in partnership with The Nature Conservancy and Molokai Land Trust, assisted by local volunteers.

Why I fly with Makani Kai “I like the pilots and the people,” says Lee, who insisted that Genella be in this picture with her because, “We grew up together, lived across the street from each other.” Lee also has nice things to say about the level of service she gets at Makani Kai, “The service all around is excellent.” Lee and her family spent 12 years in Hooper, Utah, before moving back home to Molokai three years ago. And what’s it like being back on the island and seeing old friends? “Sometimes I feel like wearing a bag over my head because everyone I see wants to stop and talk about what I’d been up to.”

s we near the General Election on Nov. 8, voters are faced with many big decisions, from the U.S. President to our local county government. One of the most contested seats on Molokai is the island's county council representative, with two Molokai candidates on the ballot. We have asked both incumbent Stacy Helm Crivello and hopeful Keani Rawlins-Fernandez the same questions so residents can become more educated on the choice and make the best decision for themselves and their families at the polls.

The Molokai Dispatch: Why do you want to continue serving in this position?

Stacy Helm Crivello: Shaping our County is never complete. We provide core services for approximately 165,000 Maui, Molokai and Lanai residents and during my first and second terms, I experienced methods of vigilance to make tough decisions impacting our County of Maui residents, including 2,600 County employees and a $660 million budget.

During my tenure I have collaboratively worked with my colleagues for bettering our community by amending Act 137 (1988) Molokai Agricultural Revolving Loan Fund, completing renovations for Mitchell Pauole Center, and expanding route for MEO Molokai Bus Service. I have secured funding for construction of the Molokai Department of Public Works Base yard; planning and design for land acquisition for a new Police Station; equipment for the Department of Fire and Public Safety; equipment for the Department of Water Supply; Molokai economic development and cultural programs; Molokai Humane Society; and Molokai Robotics and STEM funding for Molokai's students.

I also helped fund operation for Veterans caring for Veterans Center; Molokai watershed projects and Soil and Water Conservation; increased funding for Molokai Youth Center and MEO Headstart Programs; and water meter cost reduction. With diligence, openness, and commitment I would like to continue serving my island home and all of Maui, Lanai and Kahoolawe.

TMD: Tell us about your background that qualifies you for reelection.

SHC: I am in my second term and look forward to being reelected to continue serving. There are also footprints of many hearts, hands and voices that I have joined with community volunteers to establish a Molokai Land Trust, development of the East Molokai Watershed Project, the Molokai Dialysis Center, the Community Health Center, and Restoration of the historic Kalanianaole Hall and other community building projects. I qualify further because I understand and hear the pulse of our Molokai through my community involvement. My experience is deeply rooted for a healthier community. I expanded my governance capacity by previously serving on the Board of Water Supply, Chair of the Maui County Fire and Public Safety Commission and a member of the 2012 Charter Commission.

TMD: What do you see as Molokai's biggest challenges and how do you plan to address them?

SHC: Economics. A long term solution to Molokai's economic challenge is to support our children's education. As Molokai's council member I secured funding for many educational programs and partnered to support the schools' efforts and student leadership to the installation of air conditioning.

I am addressing the economic challenge by supporting entrepreneurship programs through the Maui County Office of Economic Development and the Kuha`o Business Center. The Made on Maui Festivals and local cultural events give entrepreneurs opportunities to sell their “made on Molokai”products. The Molokai Business Festival and MEO's 4-Core Business Course are other efforts to support entre-

preneurship. Because Molokai has several strategic plans to develop different economic engines, I have proviso funds to outsource a community facilitator to revisit existing plans and to facilitate community based economic engines.

The other challenge Molokai faces is the use of drugs. None of us are isolated from a family member's or a friend's use of drugs. I will continue to work with law enforcement and community. Continue to support drug treatment centers who have results of reducing recidivism and provide treatment and prevention opportunities.

TMD: Paying the highest electric rates in the nation is a concern for many residents. What do you see for Molokai's energy future and what steps can you take as a councilmember to aid in this process?

SHC: Maui Electric Company has extended to meet with the community and energy providers. This is through my dialogue with MECO to outreach to our consumers. Molokai's energy future will be determined by the participation of community. This participation will decide the type of renewable energy they want.

TMD: Where do you stand on the genetically modified crop industry on Molokai?

SHC: I have always been transparent and direct in supporting the corn seed industry on Molokai. In the early 1960s, the first seed crop was planted close to our Kalamaula Homestead. This is where we grew up farming and I still live on our Kalamaula homestead. Because of the science of GMO, and the first GMO product is insulin, my mother's insulin application for diabetes extended her life for us as family to enjoy her longer until her passing. Many of the industry's 250 employees are generational Molokai families. The hardworking employees are contributors to our community and our local businesses. Likewise we can appreciate the industry's contributions to our schools and our community.

We can support agribusiness and continue to diversify our economy with entrepreneurship and other farming opportunities. Relative to the 2014 GMO initiative, contrary to Maui voters, Molokai voted overwhelmingly “no.” The GMO initiative lies in the hands of the courts. The initiative was never certified as an ordinance because the courts never allowed the County of Maui Clerk to certify the initiative as an ordinance. We are awaiting issuance of decision in accordance to the 9th Circuit Courts.

TMD: What's one thing about you that many fellow community members may not be aware of?

SHC: As Oct. 28 is upon us, I am mindful of the 1989 plane crash where all 20 aboard died. My late brother Larry and Barb Helm and family lost their daughter and sister in this fatal crash; beside the loss of my niece, I lost youngsters who were active members of our church's Youth Ministry where I served as their Youth Ministry Coordinator. My fellow community members may not be aware that Oct. 28 for me is a time for spiritual reflections and a journey of remembrance.

TMD: What would you like Molokai voters to keep in mind as they head to the polls?

SHC: I would like Molokai voters to keep in mind as they head to the polls that my experience and record speak on the community's behalf to be of service to my island home. Please Vote!

he Lady Farmers of the Girls Volleyball team qualified for the State Tournament last weekend at the MIL DII Championships on Lanai, coming in second in the league.

Molokai defeated Seabury in five sets (25-20, 23-25, 25-23, 19-25 and 17-15) in the semifinal to punch their ticket to states. They lost to Hana in the championship game 3-1 (22-25, 25-15, 25-22 and 25-10).

“I am super proud of my team," said Head Coach Mahea Rawlins.

"They played very hard [against] Seabury to make it to states. If we stick together as a team and play as a team, we will be OK. The girls are ready for the big dance which is states and we will have to focus on one point at a time. We are very excited and we will play with 'heart and soul’ which is our motto.”

The Dragons (12-0) completed an undefeated season and will be the number three seed in next week’s state championships. The Lady Farmers only losses this season were to Hana. Both teams will now represent

the MIL in the state tournament.

Molokai (9-3) will face Kohala on Wednesday, Oct. 26 at 5 p.m. at Kaimuki High School.

“We are Farmers, and Farmers are hard workers, and that's exactly what we girls have done," said senior captain Precious Rawlins. "Besides the loss against Hana, I am more than proud of my girls for our accomplishments. We're still going to states and I am more than happy about that because we haven't gone to states since 2011. We just have the longer way to go, and with staying as one team together, we will be able to make our goals.”

Senior captain Brooke Keliihoomalu echoed her teammate’s words.

“The MIL tournament was a great experience," she said. "Although we didn't claim the D2 title, we're headed to states for the first time in years and it's an amazing feeling to know that all our hard work, dedication, and sacrifices paid off. We got one last ride together and we're all excited to see what more we can do together. Win or lose, my glory goes to God, he deserves it all!”

NOTICE MAUI-MOLOKAI FERRY LAST DAY OF FERRY SERVICE IS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2016 On October 17, 2016, the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawai`i (“PUC”), in Order No. 33977 in Docket No. 2016-0214, approved Sea Link of Hawaii, Inc.’s (“Sea Link”) request to voluntarily surrender its certificate of public convenience and necessity (“CPCN”) to provide water carrier services between Maui and Moloka`i (“Maui-Molokai Ferry”).

The PUC found “good cause” to approve, subject to certain conditions, Sea Link’s request to voluntarily surrender its CPCN, in part, because the Commission acknowledged Sea Link’s representation that its financial losses are no longer sustainable and the Commission cannot compel (i.e. force) Sea Link to continue to operate as a water carrier of passengers and property at a financial loss. As a result, the last date of ferry service operations will be Thursday, October 27, 2016.

he Farmers are hopeful to repeat as MIL eight-man football champs this year, as the rematch is set for this year’s championship game. Molokai (4-0) will face Seabury (3-1) on Thursday Oct. 27 at 6pm at War Memorial Stadium on Maui. Seabury defeated Lanai last weekend weekend in a semifinal game at Olinda 57-30 and Molokai advanced to the final because Hana forfeited their semifinal game due to lack of players. The Farmers beat Seabury two weeks ago at Olinda 49-21 and last year, won their first ever Championship over Seabury 55-16.

“We are excited and pumped for the upcoming championship game," said Head Coach Mike Kahale. "The boys have

put in the work and are ready to go. At this point it has more to do with the mental preparation than anything else. We know that our opponent is watching game film and making adjustments, and we are doing the same. It should be a fun one. We expect nothing less than to repeat as league champs.”

Senior Air Riflery marksman Jershon Kaalekahi, accompanied by Head Coach Chinky Hubbard, are representing Molokai at the state competition this week. The Civilian Marksmanship Program Air Riflery Championships was scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 25 at the Blaisdell Exhibition Hall on Oahu. Jershon will then travel to Maui and suit up for the eight-man Football Championship game on Thursday.

$1M Grant to Child Care MFSS News Release Funding of $1,000,000 is planned to provide child care programs and subsidies on Molokai and Maui. Maui Family Support Services, Inc. (MFSS) recently received the grant from the Administration for Children and Families, Office of Child Care.

The MFSS Quality Care for Hawaiian Keiki (QCHK) project will provide services to Native Hawaiian/Part Hawaiian families that will increase the availability, affordability and quality of child care programs.

MFSS QCHK will provide childcare subsidies to over 200 Native Hawaiian/ Part-Hawaiian families based upon eligibility. MFSS will serve families in Hana, Molokai and areas in Central and Upcountry in Maui.

In addition, MFSS QCHK project will increase the number of quality child care providers in Maui County by providing educational consumer information to pro-

FERRY Continued From pg. 1 however, may be on Maui teams coming to Molokai for competition, according to DeRouin.

"We’ll be able to get the football there on one of the airlines, but we’ll just have to get creative [with scheduling and funding]," he said. "Can other teams do it? We hope so."

Others who submitted public comment bemoaned the loss to the community if the ferry stopped running.

"Molokai ferry is a part of Molokai," wrote resident Cindy Spector, who said she had been riding the ferry since the service began and used it as a commuter for 10 years. "It would be awful to only have airlines to get to Maui. It just seems wrong to take away our connection to Maui."

Those involved in tourism also voiced their concern. Susan McGovern, the Road Scholar coordinator for the Lyman Museum in Hilo, said she regularly used the ferry to transport kupuna for educational visits to Molokai as part of the Road Scholar program.

"Our participants come from the mainland and sometimes other countries," she wrote in her testimony. "The ferry ride has always been included as part of the itinerary, and we really appreciate having the opportunity to ride the ferry."

The DCCA notes that although Sea Link tried to pursue federal, state and county funding for continued operations, those attempts were unsuccessful. Maui County gave the ferry a one-time grant of $105,000 last year to assist in continuing operations through October, 2015 but when Jung offered to transfer ownership of the ferry to the county, the Mayor de-

mote informed childcare choices, provide activities that will improve the quality and availability of childcare, and having highquality staff development for providers.

MFSS will post and provide more information regarding the project’s eligibility criteria and how to sign-up for services in the near future.

Maui Family Support Services is a private, nonprofit agency incorporated in 1980 to provide early childhood development services to families in Maui County.

The agency has provided over 35 years of continuous service to residents of Maui County. MFSS’ mission is to promote healthy family functioning by providing supportive services that build on family strengths. Our Prime Directive is to utilize our collective resources toward the prevention of child abuse and neglect. Please visit mfss.org for more information.

clined the proposal, as reported by the DCCA. "As the Molokai Council Member on the Maui County Council I would like to stress the critical importance that this ferry service provides to the residents of Molokai, especially our youth and offisland workers," wrote Stacy Helm Crivello in her public comment supporting the ferry. "Obviously the Ferry can’t bear the burden alone and I think it’s time that Maui County and the State sit down and figure out how to remedy the situation because it is the people of Molokai, especially our youth that will bear the brunt of it."

In allowing the ferry to stop service, the PUC noted falling ridership, increased lower cost flights to Maui and the ferry's consistent financial losses.

"The commission recognizes... the potential detrimental impact Sea Link's cessation of its ferry service will have on the affected communities... [as well as] Sea Link's commitment to continue serving the public following the cessation of state subsidies in July 1996," the commission wrote.

Jung said moving forward, he believes Molokai needs to make its opinion heard if it wants a ferry service.

"We need Molokai to come together with one strong voice to lobby for the county and state to take over the ferry," he said. "If we could get a single strong voice from Molokai, Molokai could get whatever it wants."

Sea Link will be offering refunds on unused paper and electronic ferry tickets until Dec. 16 of this year. Refund forms are available on their website, molokaiferry.com, and at Sea Link’s main office by mail by phone at (808) 661-3392, by email to info@molokaiferry.com, or by postal mail, 1036 Limahana Place, 3E, Lahaina, HI 96761.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I invite you to fantasize about what your four great-grandmothers and four great-grandfathers may have been doing on November 1, 1930. What? You have no idea how to begin? You don't even know their names? If that's the case, I hope you'll remedy your ignorance. Your ability to create the future you want requires you to learn more about where and whom you came from. Halloween costume suggestion: your most interesting ancestor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): At any one time, over two million frozen human embryos are stored in tissue banks throughout Europe and North America. When the time is right, their owners retrieve them and bring them to term. That's the first scenario I invite you to use as a metaphor for your life in the coming weeks.

Here's a second scenario: Scotch whiskey is a potent mind-altering substance. Any particular batch must mature for at least three years, and may be distilled numerous times. There are currently 20 million barrels of the stuff mellowing in Scottish warehouses.

And what do these two scenarios have to do with you? It's time to tap into resources that you've been saving in reserve -- that haven't been ripe or ready until now. Halloween costume suggestions: a woman who's nine months pregnant; a blooming rose or sunflower; ripe fruit.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): To create a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, a winemaker needs about 700 grapes. Compare this process with rain-making. When water vapor that's high in the sky becomes dense enough, it condenses into tiny pearls of liquid called cloud droplets. If the humidity rises even further, a million of these babies might band together to form a single raindrop that falls to earth. And what does this have to do with your life? I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will have both an affinity and a skill for processes that resemble wine-making and rainmaking. You'll need a lot of raw material and energetic effort to produce a relatively small marvel -- but that's exactly as it should be. Halloween costume suggestion: a raindrop or bottle of wine.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Some Brazilians eat the heads of piranhas in the belief they're aphrodisiacs. In Zimbabwe, women may make strategic use of baboon urine to enhance their allure.

The scientific name for Colombia's leaf-cutter ant is hormiga culona, translated as "fat-assed ant." Ingesting the roasted bodies of these critters is thought to boost sexual desire. Since you're in a phase when tapping in to your deepest erotic longings will be healthy and educational, you may want to adopt elements of the aforementioned love drugs to create your Halloween costume.

Here are other exotic aphrodisiacs from around the world that you might be inspired by: asparagus, green M&Ms, raw oysters, wild orchids, horny goat weed.

The Molokai DispaTch • ocTober 26, 2016 •

an exceptional ability to say what you mean and mean what you say. Use this superpower with flair and precision! Halloween costume suggestion: ancient Greek orator Demosthenes; Martin Luther King Jr.; Virginia Woolf; Sojourner Truth; rapper MC Lyte, Winston Churchill.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It's the prosperity-building phase of your cycle. Let's celebrate! Let's brainstorm! Are there rituals you can create to stimulate the financial lobes of your imagination, thereby expediting your cash flow? Here are a few ideas: 1.

Glue a photo of yourself on a $20 bill. 2. Make a wealth shrine in your home. Stock it with symbols of specific thrills you can buy for yourself when you have more money. 3. Halloween costume suggestions: a giant bar of gold, a banker carrying a briefcase full of big bills, Tony Stark, Lady Mary Crawley, Jay Gatsby, Lara Croft, the Yoruban wealth goddess Ajé.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During this Halloween season, you have cosmic permission to be a bigger, bolder, and extra beguiling version of yourself. I trust you will express your deep beauty with precise brilliance and imagine your future with superb panache and wander wherever the hell you feel like wandering. It's time to be stronger than your fears and wilder than your trivial sins. Halloween costume suggestion: the superhero version of yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I won't offer you the cliché "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Instead, I'll provide alternatives. How about this, from the video game Portal 2: "When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! Say, 'I don't want your damn lemons!'" Or you could try this version, from my friend Barney: "When life gives you lemons, draw faces on them like Tom Hanks did on his volleyball in the movie Cast Away, and engage them in sexy philosophical conversation." Or consider this Brazilian proverb: "When life gives you lemons, make caipirinhas." (Caipirinha is Brazil's national cocktail.) Suggestion: Play around with these themes to create your Halloween costume.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): All of us are creators and destroyers. It's fun and healthy to add fresh elements to our lives, but it's also crucial to dispose of things that hurt and distort us.

Even your body is a hotbed of both activities, constantly killing off old cells and generating new ones. But in my understanding, you are now in a phase when there's far more creation than destruction. Enjoy the exalted buzz! Halloween costume suggestions: a creator god or goddess, like the Greeks' Gaia or Prometheus; Rainbow-Snake from the Australian Aborigines; Unkulunkulu from the Zulus; or Coyote, Raven, or Spider Grandmother from indigenous North American tribes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1938, a chef named Ruth Wakefield dreamed up a brilliant invention: chocolate chip cookies. She sold her recipe to the Nestlé company in return for one dollar and a lifetime supply of chocolate. Maybe she was happy with that arrangement, but I think she cheated herself. And so I offer her action as an example of what you should NOT do. During the next ten months, I expect you will come up with many useful innovations and intriguing departures from the way things have always been done. Make sure you get full value in return for your gifts! Halloween costume ideas: Thomas Edison, Marie Curie, Hedy Lamarr, Leonardo da Vinci, Temple Grandin, George Washington Carver, Mark Zuckerberg.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you know how to repair a broken zipper or patch a hole in your bicycle tire? Are you familiar with the art of caulking a bathtub or creating a successful budget?

Can you compose a graceful thank-you note, cook a hearty soup from scratch, or overcome your pride so as to reconcile with an ally after an argument? These are the kinds of tasks I trust you will focus on in the coming weeks. It's time to be very practical and PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Speaking on behalf of the cosmic concrete. Halloween costume suggestion: Mr. or Ms. Fix-It. powers, I authorize you to escape dull realities and go rambling the frontier. Feel free to fantasize twice as hard and wild VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the film Terminator 2, Arnold through you normally do. Avoid literalists and realists who think you Schwarzenegger played a benevolent android who traveled as be more like them. This is not a time to fuss over exacting here from the future. As a strong, silent action hero, he didn't should details, rather to soar above the sober nonsense and see as need to say much. In fact, he earned $30,000 for every word he far as youbutcan.

You have permission to exult in the joys of wise inuttered. I'm hoping your speech will pack a comparable punch nocence. Halloween costume suggestions: bohemian poet, mad in the coming days. My reading of the astrological omens sug- scientist, carefree genius, brazen explorer. gests that your persuasiveness should be at a peak. You'll have

a military or business background?

Will you support privatization of VA health care in full, partial, or not at all? How will you ensure that veterans get health care appointments and have VA claims decided in a timely manor and will you have our military battle ISIS, and if you do, will you give them all the equipment and support to win that war in a timely manor?

This election is very important, and its up to all Americans to get out and vote. I just cannot in good conscience bring myself to vote for either the republican or democratic candidate, so I can either vote for a third party candidate or be like John McCain an use a write in vote.

To my fellow veterans and active duty military when you vote, keep in mind that the next president will be doing a great many things that will effect you and your families lives in a wide variety ways like medical treatments, finances, all other Americans the next president will be making many decisions that will affect your daily lives.

In November, Dr. Carlann DeFontes will hold the VA clinic at the hospital on Nov. 1, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17, 18, 23, 29 and 30. The hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. On Nov. 8 and 22, the VA eye clinic will be held at the Veterans Center, which is open to the public.

If anyone has any questions or would just like to talk, give old Jesse a call at 553-3323. Old Jesse loves Molokai and all its people, every man, women, and child from the heart you are my family. Aloha and mahalo.

Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai old Jesse with all the veterans news and upcoming events. In less than two weeks, American registered voters will go to the polls and elect a new U.S. President to be inaugurated as the 45th President of this great nation on Jan. 20, 2017. I know I've said this before, but I believe it's important; our founding fathers gave the American people a very powerful weapon in the right to vote, for it is the people who have the power to control the government. So on this very important election day, Nov. 8, please get out and use your vote wisely, weigh the issues, decide who is the best candidate, then vote for the candidate you believe is the best person for the job.

If you're like I am right now, you're saying, "I do not believe either candidate should be elected."

One is an untrustworthy liar, and the other is a scurrilous popinjay that vacillates on the issues. I concur with the political annalists who have said that this election will be decided by the active duty military and veteran vote, because I believe it is that group of Americans that have the most to gain or lose with the next president. So I am asking all my peers to please consider all the issues facing us, the biggest being the Department of Veteran Affairs. How will the VA handle the needs of female veterans? How will you fix the veterans choice program? Will your VA secretary have

Fisheries and Ferries

Maoli Kingdom

Two of the major issues, amongst numerous others, I seem to have heard while campaigning and canvassing on Molokai was the need to keep the Molokai-Lahaina ferry in operation, and the depletion of the fishing stock in the area some on Molokai call “Molokai's refrigerator.”

The public transportation systems on both Maui and Oahu are subsidized by county government. This is true in most bus systems throughout the U.S. Why would we be different? As a state legislator, it is long overdue to demand that both the state and county establish perhaps a private/public or quasipublic entity to operate the ferry. Discussion is just beginning on perhaps creating a state-wide ferry system. If this is to be, Molokai needs to be part of this discussion. What types of vessels will serve the needs of the community the best? What environmental impacts will occur? The residents of Molokai need to be at the table in these discussions from the very beginning, not brought on as an afterthought.

The social and economic cohesion of fishery participants and related services and industries are important and particularly strong on Molokai.

The fishing industry is impacted by

Let us educate all of you on Hawaii history, to learn what is going on in Kingdom of Hawaii, Hawaiian Kingdom and Maoli Kingdom. We are the children of this continue existing independent state here in Hawaii, and we all disagree with illegal occupiers. We have been illegally occupied for over 115 years now from the U.S. federal, State of Hawaii and county governments.

Some laws are good, but most of them are not, due to respect as Maoli, these laws that had been illegally created has brought us Maolis/Hawaiians to suppression. So now Maoli Kingdom needs you Illegal occupiers to please have respect for us Hawaiians and let us be the beneficiary for what is rightfully ours and let us run our state and run the show. Maolis/Hawaiians are the first here on this Pacific archipelago, this means we own Hawaii, we only have chants and stories about our Maoli history. Read Tales Of The Night Rainbow, or just go learn the truth of Hawaii history.

We shouldn’t be standing in your court room having illegal occupiers make a judgement over car tickets on Hawaiians, this laws don’t apply to

programs and regulations by both the state and federal agencies. The reality is that fishery participants do not all reside on Molokai. Many come from other areas, moor or launch their vessels in other areas, fish offshore of other areas, and land their fish in yet other areas, and they tend to move among these areas according to the weather and fishing conditions. But the impact is felt the strongest locally on Molokai and the near shore waters. Fishing has a major impact on the social, cultural and economic fabric of life on Molokai. Many residents are substantially dependent on and engaged in fishing or fishing-related activities to meet their social and economic needs. This must be protected.

We must have a legislator representing us with the critical thinking to take on these challenges and the vision to put forth beneficial proposals.

us, it’s suppressing, we need to get rid of it. Can you prove you have a treaty to legally be here running our existing Kingdom (state)? Because we know our kingdom have a treaty to say our kingdom exist.

For betterment of this state and the world is to support Maoli Kingdom Proposal and help us generate it so we can all live in a better world.

To answer all your questions on the last letter: 1. Who gives Maoli Kingdom the right to run the state? We are not official, we are proposing this to our existing Kingdom so we can start living in this state that is rightfully ours. 2. Gavin Pelekane Tamashio show Hawaiian ancestry? He gives you permission to look up his ancestry through his birth certificate, we have no money to get this document due to Kanaka Maoli suppression.

3. Show how our Kingdom of Hawaii exist? This is evidenced in the Hawaiian Kingdom documents by Keanu Sai. Thank you and God bless you all, Harrie-Ann Aki and Gavin Pelekai Tamashiro Maoli Kingdom

Alex Mawae Takes 2nd at World Series

By Clare Seeger Mawae Alex Mawae recently competed at the final event of the Stand Up World Series on Maui, racing from Maliko to Kanaha a distance of 8.5 miles on Saturday, Oct. 15. Maliko turned on some epic conditions in the way of good winds, sizable bumps and some spectacular surfing to the finish line at Kanaha Beach. Alex’s division started separately from the pro division but the youth started with the open men’s division. Alex finished second in the 17 years and under category but more impressive was that he finished sixth overall among some strong male paddlers.

Alex started racing the Maliko run with SUP and OC1 when he was 9 years old. Over the years he has put on some impressive performances on this World famous downwinder.

Now at 14, he continued to show his strength with his racing in his 12th Maliko race. Alex has proven that he is still in contention as one of the top

The continuing saga of Richard, owner of Makani Kai Air, and his chowder head marketing guy, P.J. PJ:

I’ve got it! We’re gonna be rich!

RICHARD:

What now?

PJ:

We need to change our slogan. We’ve been charging the same $50 airfare for over three years now. It’s time for an upgrade.

RICHARD:

You mean raise our fares? I don’t think so.

PJ:

Just hear me out. We’ll still advertise the fiftydollar fare, but folks will be able to get that fare only if they’re really lucky.

RICHARD:

How so?

PJ:

We’ll keep changing our prices online! Every time you try to book a fifty-dollar fare, it’ll change to $78, or $84. It’ll be kinda like playing Whack-a-Mole.

RICHARD:

And your new slogan?

PJ:

How about, “Book a flight with Makani Kai and chance ‘em!”

RICHARD:

I’ve written you a nice letter of recommendation for a job at Mokulele…

NO SURPRISES ONLINE. JUST GREAT SERVICE.
