onning white shirts and glow sticks, community members ran and walked for a cause last Saturday night, getting showed in colorful powders along with way. The Moon Glow Run, held in the moonlight on a track around the Heart of Alo-
ha Church's Kualapu`u property, raised funds for the church's planned worship pavilion. The church is nearing its goal of $170,000, having raised $132,700 so far. The pavilion will be located at the church's property in Kualapu`u and will be used for church services, community events and cultural activities.

omesticated rabbits on Molokai that have escaped or been released have been reported around the island and pose a dangerous threat to the ecosystem if not controlled, according to local natural resource managers. "There are confirmed sightings in a widespread area," said Butch Haase, executive director of the Molokai Land Trust (MLT). "They could cause devastating ecological and economic impacts like nothing we've seen before." Haase said MLT staff found a rabbit in one of its fenced restoration sites in the Mokio Preserve near Ilio Point. "The rabbit had been browsing the endangered ohai plants within the fenced site to the point of killing many of the plants," he said, adding the animal was large and mostly white. "The rabbit was captured and removed, but there have been other sightings across central and west Molokai." Rabbits have also been reported near Hale O Lono, Kaluakoi, Kalae, Ho`olehua, Kaunakakai and Kawela. Natural resource managers on Molokai are urging rabbit owners to use caution when raising the animals to ensure they don't escape. According to Hawaii state law, rabbits are required to be housed off the ground. Violations are subject to a fine up to $100 or up to six months prison sentence. In addition, environmental leaders caution residents not to release rabbits that may no longer be wanted as pets, and warn of dire consequences for the island if the wild population increases. With no predators in Hawaii, rabbits in the wild go unchecked. "Reaching breeding maturity at five to six months of age, rabbits can have a litter of five to 12 'kits' and become pregnant again within a few days of giving birth," wrote Lissa Fox of the Maui Invasive Species Committee. "Here in the tropics they can breed all year round, meaning one doe can have up to 12 litters a year. That’s 144 rabbits per year from one pair alone." That exponential population growth is exactly what happened in several examples of rabbit occurrences here in Hawaii. On Laysan in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, rabbits devastated the landscape after a sea captain innocently brought rabbits there in the late 1800s. The animals turned the island into a barren wasteland, and through environmental degradation, contributed to the extinction of several endemic bird species, as well as about two dozen plant species. The rabbits were removed from the small

Why we fly with Makani Kai “It’s easier to get to,” says Paula, “especially if you use a walker.” A former front desk clerk for Hotel Molokai and Pau Hana Inn, Paula says her insurance pays for trips on Ohana but, “When it’s on our own, we fly with Makani Kai.” And Charles? Well, he wasn’t actually born on Molokai: he was sent here to live with his grandmother when he was three because his mom wanted to hide him from her soon-to-be-ex-husband. “They told my aunties and uncles…the whole family… not to let my dad know where I was,” says Charles. He was nine by the time he and his mom were reunited. “I like Makani Kai because there’s no standing in line.”

rabbits Continued From pg. 1 island in 1923. On Haleakala National Park, six rabbits were released by their owner in 1989. In less than two years, that number had grown to 100 rabbits, which were found and removed. "At Mokio, rabbits could destroy the low growing native vegetation and rare plants that are so important for our ground nesting birds, and en-

dangered yellow-faced bees as well as other native pollinators," said Haase. "Loss of vegetation could also lead to increased erosion that would damage our near shore marine resources." Molokai environmental leaders are asking residents to report any rabbit sightings by emailing details to molokairabbit@gmail.com. Include as much information as possible, like the location, time of day, color of the rabbit, what they were seen feeding on, and a photo if possible. The data will be used to develop a map of frequent sightings so an action plan can be developed for control measures.

Molokai VA physician Dr. Carlann DeFontes said according to research she did, Molokai has historically had the highest number of men and women joining the military per capita. "People sacrificed so much to fight for us," she said, becoming emotional. "Our veterans come in all shapes and sizes, young and old, rich and poor, black and white and nearly every category in between, men and women.... I look into my patients eyes... and I see how well you've survived trauma. It's affected your lives and you have a different view on life now, but you survived."
For many veterans, though, the fight is far from over once they return home from combat. Veteran and event emcee Juan Alcon reminded the group of the somber statistic that 20 veterans per day commit suicide in the U.S. "There are 400 veterans on this island.... we gotta find them," he said. "There are veterans here on this island who are not here, who are in deep depression... it's our responsibility to go find them, bring them out of their depression and give them a word of hope." In a gesture of appreciation and recognition, a group of Molokai residents also made lei to place on the graves of Molokai veterans this year.

may make good sense to temporarily resurrect a lost dream. You could energize your future by drawing inspiration from possibilities that might have been but never were. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): By the time he died at the age of 87 in 1983, free thinker Buckminster Fuller had licensed his inventions to more than 100 companies. But along the way, he often had to be patient as he waited for the world to be ready for his visionary creations. He was ahead of his time, dreaming up things that would be needed before anyone knew they'd be needed. I encourage you to be like him in the coming weeks, Libra. Try to anticipate the future. Generate possibilities that people are not yet ripe to accept, but will eventually be ready to embrace.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is a 97 percent chance that you will NOT engage in the following activities within the next 30 days: naked skydiving, tight-rope walking between two skyscrapers, getting drunk on a mountaintop, taking ayahuasca with Peruvian shamans in a remote rural hut, or dancing ecstatically in a muddy pit of snakes. However, I suspect that you will be involved in almost equally exotic exploits -- although less risky ones -- that will require you to summon more pluck and SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Does the word "revolution" improvisational skill than you knew you had. have any useful meaning?

Veterans Corner
Curse of the billy goat broken By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and resident of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. The Chicago Cubs have finally won a World Series and have become the World Champions of baseball, and as a result have broken the curse of the billy goat. For you people who do not know about the curse of the billy goat, let me explain it to you. After the Chicago Cubs won the 1945 National League pennant and played the Detroit Tigers in the World Series, a man bought a ticket at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs, and when he tried to enter the gate with his pet billy goat, he was stopped and was told he could not bring the billy goat into the ballpark. After much to do and police intervention, he was told that if he persisted in trying to bring the animal in, he would be arrested. So finally, the man waved his hands around and mumbled some words, and said, "I have put a curse on the Chicago Cubs, they will never again win a World Series." The last World Series the Chicago Cubs was the World Series of 1909, which was 36 years before the curse of the billy goat was born, and it has been 71 years after the curse was born, for a total of 108 years since they last won the World Series. That is the longest streak without winning a championship in professional sports history. In 1909, World
War I would not begin for another seven years, the average American worker earned $5 a day, a loaf of bread was five cents, and steak was 15 cents a pound. In all that time since then, Cubs fans stayed true to their team though thick and thin, and supported their team. Many lifelong Cubs fans were not as lucky as I have been; many fans lived their entire lives and never saw the Cubs won a World Series, and a good many never saw the Cubs even play in a World Series. I and all other Cub fans have truly been blessed to be a part of this and see the Cubs win the World Series. As a Cub fan, I rejoiced and thanked the baseball Gods, and celebrated into the wee hours of the morning, I thought about Cub players throughout the years that sweated, and played their hearts out daily and just could not make happen what this team did. and the fans who never waived and never lived to see this happen, especially Hall of Famer and Cubs fan Ernie Banks, whose favorite saying was, “let's play two today," sadly never lived to see this moment, along with many others. Let me congratulate the Chicago Cubs, and I hope their winning way will continue for the next 108 years. If anyone has questions or would just like to talk story it would be my pleasure, give old Jesse a call at 553-3323. Remember old Jesse loves Molokai and all its people, every man, woman, and child from my heart, you are my family. Aloha and Mahalo.

Subaru Recall If you're a Molokai resident who owns a Subaru, there has been a recall of the Takata passenger side airbag in some models. Until the repair has been performed, no one should sit in that seat. Subaru now has the parts. However, Subaru is not sure when or if they will send someone over to Molokai to do the repair. We need to have enough cars to make it worth it for them. If we cannot get them to come over here, it becomes our responsibility to get the repair done. That would cost close to $580 to send our cars over and back to Oahu on
the barge. It is important that we give Servco Subaru our information so they can schedule a time to come over and make the repairs. The affected models are Baja 20032004, Legacy and Outback 2003-2004 and 2010-2011, Forrester 2009-2011, and Tribeca 2006-2011. You can email Ani at molokaiani@ gmail.com with your name, VIN number, phone number and she will send it to Servco. Mahalo, Ani Van Eps

Election Reflection The evening after the election, I had to go and check out the Molokai sunset with all but positive thoughts in my mind. It's been a crazy few months with all of the politics. All I can think of is to maintain positive thoughts no matter on the presidential outcome. I have never been much for politics but this time around it was hard not to get involved and see what was going on that affects everyone worldwide and within this country that I now call home. All I can say and all I can do is to focus on positive thoughts, continue with praying for peace and praying that everyone can respect one another for their religion, their race and their beliefs. All I can think of in this crazy turmoils world is that somehow, some way we can find the strength, the ability and the focus on the future to move forward in a positive way. I pray that this new government will hear all the voices and somehow look back and realize that politics breeds and rears the ugliness of
9
what mankind can spit out. I hope with all of this that solutions can be found and miracles can happen, that people can unite, be stronger and focus on the good that can be done without the bitterness and hatred that has been brewing and breeding in our society. I hope that integrity, service , compassion, fairness and respect is the game plan for the politicians at large. And please know and understand that the world is evolving and many mixes of race, religion and ethnicity is the makeup of our world. This is the first time I have ever written something like this in public but this is something that I feel strongly about. Please let us respect one another and move forward with integrity, compassion and humility. Aloha, Clare Seeger Mawae
