A BOATLOAD OF CHEER By Catherine Cluett Pactol | Editor

arlier this month, a boat docked at the Kaunakakai wharf loaded with 800 toys and clothes for Molokai keiki. The holiday blessing was brought to Molokai in a partnership between the Coast Guard Station Maui and the Salvation Army. The 45-foot Coast Guard vessel docked at the harbor on Dec. 10, where staff helped to unload hundreds of Christmas gifts. In previous years, the Molokai ferry has assisted the Salvation Army Kahului office in the mission, but after the ferry closed operations earlier this year due to financial hardship, the Coast Guard stepped in to help. Lt. Romelia Howard of the Salvation Army's Kahului office said her division helps more than 600 families in Maui County during the holidays. Coast Guard staff was eager to assist. “The crew really jumped at the opportunity to help out and make this happen,” said Petty Officer 1st Class John Murphy, executive petty officer at the Coast Guard Station Maui, in a press release. “Many of them haven’t been a part of something like this before. We’re pleased to partner with the Salvation Army on this and bring these gifts to Molokai.” The gifts were distributed to Molokai keiki through the Salvation Army Molokai office.

Local Fighter Shares Pro Talent

By Catherine Cluett Pactol | Editor

rofessional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter from Molokai, Jireh Torres-Umi, helped bring an opportunity for fellow residents to "experience world class talent" at a seminar on Molokai earlier this month. James "The Texecutioner" Vick, an acclaimed pro fighter from Texas, visited the island and shared his wealth of knowledge in the sport. Twenty-six-year-old Torres-Umi has been living, training and fighting

in Texas the last two years and met Vick by chance. His dad, Bill Umi, told the story behind their acquaintance. "My wife went to Texas to visit my sons and was at an L&L Drive Inn," said Umi. "This local lady was talking to my wife and said, 'Oh, that girl's from Hawaii,' and it was James' girlfriend. [She and Torres-Umi] started talking and before you know it, they [found out they] lived across from each other."

Torres-Umi said a friendship with Vick developed. "I started training with him, getting ready for a couple fights," he said. "We just clicked, he wanted to come over here and visit, and he said, 'Want to throw a seminar?'" Attended by about a dozen Molokai fighters and hopefuls, Torres-Umi said they went over technique, submissions, defense and striking. He described the attendees as "thankful and happy." As for Vick, Umi said he "fell in love with Molokai, he wants to come back." Since an exhibition fight event held on Molokai in 2011, Umi said there hadn't been anything like that held on the island. "This might open doors for professionals to come to Molokai," he suggested. His son is no stranger to training with big names. Recently living in Arizona, Torres-Umi said he had been training with Henry Cejudo, an

Why I fly with Makani Kai Juanna hails from a family of 16 and says she was one in Hawaii’s first batch of triplets. “My parents had nine children, then after my mom died my dad had seven more by his second wife.” A mother of seven herself, Juanna says she flies with Makani Kai Air because of the generosity of (owner) Richard Schuman’s dad, Dutch. “He gave my dad, a minister, a 1948 Plymouth just to help out the church.” She says the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree, “Richard has great love for the people of Molokai…you can see it in what he does. Awesome. I love it.””

MMA Continued From pg. 1

Olympic gold medalist and wrestling who debuted in the UFC in 2014 has also appeared on the "Ultimate Fighter" show. One of four pro fighters currently on the scene from Molokai, TorresUmi credits fellow local boy Sale Sproat with being "where it all began over here." Sproat played a direct role in Torres-Umi's start in taking the sport pro. After wrestling at Molokai High for three years, Torres-Umi took a trip to Maui to watch Sale fight.

"I got off the boat and Sale called me," recalled Torres-Umi. [He said,] 'Hey you wanna fight? They needed a 145er.' I was like 'shoots!' I wasn't training at the time. I jumped on the scale at 144 [pounds] and ended up winning the fight. After that, I started training." Torres-Umi added that Molokai has a lot of potential and encourages youth to pursue their dreams. "Anything is possible for the kids over here, we have so much talent," he said. "When you go off to the mainland, you see how much opportunity and how stuff they have. And over here, we just have heart."

Veterans Corner

Highest ranking enlisted man speaks By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans, and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news, and upcoming events. Have you ever heard of Army Command Sgt. Major John Troxell? Well, not many people have, so let me tell about him and his job. In Washington D.C. when top national security officials meet behind closed doors, there is often only one enlisted member in the room, Sgt. Maj. Troxell. He is the senior enlisted advisor to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the military’s highest ranking noncommissioned officer. The unique post was created just a few years ago and is only vaguely defined by law. His office at the Pentagon is just down the hall from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and he accompanies him on trips overseas and visits to the White House, where he speaks on the behalf of more than a million enlisted service members and offers. He shares their input on issues such as gender integration with in ground combat units and a new policy allowing service by transgender troops, the impact of budget cuts, and the overall state of morale and readiness. Sgt. Maj. Troxell said of his meetings with senior commanders and top civilians, “I have a responsibility to gain, maintain and report their feeling, I must bring their voice into all of the meetings.” This past summer, Sgt. Maj. Troxell was at Pearl Harbor and

spoke to the troops there when he was asked about the fight against isis in Iraq, and Syria this is what he had to say. "The strategy we have now is working, and its successful, true it’s all at Iraqi, and Syrian pace, not an American pace, but it is working and the risk to the men and women of the United States military is significantly lower than it was just five years ago.... I understand the nature of how we get after business and in Iraq it must be an Iraqi solution, and it has to be a coalition solution in Syria, it cannot be a United States solution, and I absolutely am a fan of the strategy that we have right now." While I do not agree with Sgt. Maj. Troxell on the United States strategy in Iraq and Syria, but I question if that is his true feeling or something that a man in his position must say. The days of 2016 are getting to be few and in just a couple of days it will be Christmas, so I will take a few moments to extend my thanks to all the people of Molokai for all the understanding, help and insight, and to the people who participated in some of the battles and stories I wrote about, but didn't let use their name and give them the credit they so richly deserve. To all the people of Molokai every man, women, and child, I sincerely thank you for supporting the Veterans Corner over the years, and I love you all from my heart, you are my family. May you all experience the true meaning of Christmas and may all your wishes for the new year come true. Aloha and mahalo.

Be Fireworks Safe MFD News Release With the New Year approaching, fireworks safety is important to remember. The Maui County Department of Fire and Public Safety (MFD) is sharing information on permits, safety and recommendations about fireworks. Fireworks will be for sale at selected locations between Monday, Dec. 26 and Sunday, Jan. 1. A fireworks permit is not required for consumer fireworks such as sparklers, snakes, and cylindrical or cone fountains which emit effects not higher than 12 feet off the ground. However, a fireworks permit is required for the use of fire crackers. Each permit costs $25 payable by check/money order to the County of Maui. Each permit allows a purchase of up to 5,000 pieces of fire crackers. There is no limit to the number of permits issued to each person. Permit applicants must be 18 years or older and show proof of age at the time of permit processing. Permits will be available from December 19-30, 2016 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the following locations on MOlokai at the County Parks and Recreation Permit Office at the Mitchell Pauole Center. Permit required firecrackers will be sold on Molokai at Misaki's Grocery and Take's Variety Store. The Maui Fire Department also would like to remind residents of the rules regarding fireworks use. Fireworks can only be legally set off from

9 p.m. New Year ’s Eve to 1 a.m. New Year ’s Day. Setting off fireworks outside designated times is punishable by law. Violations are subject to fines of up to $2,000. Aerial fireworks are illegal and extremely dangerous. The import, transfer, sale, or use of aerial fireworks without a permit is a Class C Felony. Fireworks can be dangerous, causing serious burns and eye injuries. Young children and fireworks do not mix. Never give fireworks, even sparklers to young children. Sparklers burn at temperatures of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Older children should only use fireworks under the direct supervision of an adult. Always read and follow all warnings and instructions listed by the manufacturer for the safe use and handling of fireworks. Make sure you have a clear, flat area to use the fireworks; away from structures, dry grass or brush, or other readily ignitable materials. Have a water hose or bucket of water readily available in case of a fire. The use of fireworks to celebrate the start of a new year is a privilege that Maui County residents continue to enjoy. Let’s all have a safe and enjoyable New Year's celebration and continue to celebrate the start of every New Year with fireworks. For additional information on fireworks permits, contact the Maui Fire Department’s, Fire Prevention Bureau at (808) 876- 4690 or refer to the Hawaii Revised Statutes 132D.

The Molokai Arts Center (MAC) started as a small but dedicated group of ceramicists working primarily out of master potter Dan Bennett’s home garage in Kala`e. Now, it has grown to expand its offerings and reach, and serves hundreds on Molokai. This is all accomplished through grants, private donation and clever management of overhead; which is why every dollar the MAC receives, whatever the source, is maximized. Every year, Friends of Hawaii, a collective of Hawaii based grants, hosts the Sony Open golf tournament on Oahu. The proceeds of the tournament are pooled in a fund and distributed to statewide nonprofits through Aloha for Hawaii Charities (ACH) in the form of matching funds for revenue generated by the nonprofits. The Molokai Arts Cetner (MAC) has been fortunate to be able to participate in this matching funds opportunity for the past several years. For every dollar donated to the MAC through AHC, AHC will match a percentage of that dollar. This percentage varies year to year, but often comes close to a 1:1 match. There is no better way to stretch donation dollars to the MAC than to give through this vehicle; and even donations as small as $10 have a

huge impact, and donations as large as $3,000 will be matched. Since its humble beginnings, the MAC has grown steadily over the years, and has inhabited space at Coffees of Hawaii since 2011. The nonprofit has expanded beyond its initial offering of pottery to include workshops in painting, mosaics, wearable art, creative writing and poetry, among others. It also serves as the fiscal sponsor for Bob Underwood’s community music program, which brings free education in strings and woodwinds to both keiki and adults. Aside from its ongoing classes and locally sourced workshops, the MAC brings in visiting artists, like the famous painter Patrick Ching, as well as performing arts, such as the Spring Wind Quintet. In the coming year the MAC will launch its Hawaiian Arts Program, which will focus on spreading `ike (traditional knowledge) of traditional and emerging Hawaiian art forms, focusing especially on delivering to the Native Hawaiian community. For more information or to donate to MAC through Aloha for Hawaii Charities, go to friendsofhawaii. org and follow the links to donate. For questions, email molkaiartscenter@gmail.com.
