GOLF TOURNAMENT TO SUPPORT ATHLETICS A

By Rick Schonely | Sports Reporter

new fundraiser will help cover costs for Molokai's student athletes. On Saturday, Feb. 25, a golf tournament at Ironwood Hills Golf Course, called Save Our Sports (SOS) will be held, with proceeds to support Molokai High School's athletic teams.

"The reason for this SOS campaign is to mainly offset the increasing transportation cost to cover our athletic travel teams to play in the Maui Interscholastic League [MIL] and... state tournaments," said MHS Athletic Director Lee DeRouin. "The Department of Education and MIL does its best to help support Molokai High School but falls short to the amount needed for the Molokai High School Athletic Department teams to travel to events with the increased

transportation cost of air travel.”

Twenty two-man teams are needed for the tournament, which will begin at 9 a.m. with a luncheon and prizes afterward.

DeRouin said MHS sports teams have been very successful the last few seasons, with state qualifications and MIL champions. Most of these events take place on Oahu, Hawaii Island or Kauai, which entail even higher travel costs, he added.

"In addition, many other expenses come into play throughout the year such as bus repairs, reconditioning of mandatory equipment, MIL and State dues, liability insurance fees and much more,” DeRouin explained.

The new fundraiser is anticipated to become an annual event. Hole

sponsorship prices range from $200 to $1000. Donations can be sent to Molokai High School Athletics, PO BOX 158, Ho’olehua, HI 96729, and for more information, contact DeRouin by calling (808) 567-7100 or (808) 567-7125 or emailing lee_derouin@notes.k12.hi.us.

"It is a professional joy to work with the student athletes and coaching staff on our beautiful island of Molokai," said DeRouin. "“Please help support Molokai Athletics by purchasing a hole-sponsor sign for the upcoming first annual SOS Golf Tournament. Your donation will help continue to provide our student athletes with the opportunities to learn and grow from the experiences of athletic competition. Molokai High School thanks you for your generosity.”

The

olokai's Unemployment Insurance office is slated for closure at the end of this month because of federal budget cuts. The office has been open since the 1970s and has helped residents through the closure of many island industries. Now, officials say the community can still access services online and by calling the Maui office.

"All of the usual services and benefits of the Unemployment Insurance office will still be available to the residents of Molokai," said Linda Chu Takayama, Director of the Dept. of Labor and Industrial Relations. "Face to face is always preferable but it has to be balanced with the economic situation."

The office, located in the state building in Kaunakakai, will be closed after Jan. 31. A sign on the door directs those filing unemployment claims to use the public computers at the Molokai Public Library for online applications or to call the Maui office for assistance.

Many community members aren't happy with those options, and Molokai's Rep. Lynn DeCoite said she is fighting to figure out another solution.

"You’re dealing with confidential information and emotional distress with the loss of a job, and they need direct contact," DeCoite said of Molokai's unemployment applicants. "They don’t want to be talking to computers... they deserve a right to have a live body there."

DeCoite said she is working with the legislature to try to secure state funding for a new position that could cover unemployment services along with tasks in other divisions. Chu Takayama said a lot would need to be done for that to happen and she's "not sure what the outcome will be."

"In the meantime, we’re determined to provide services as needed to the people of Molokai," she said.

"We offer them our assistance whether its by online, by telephone, and depending on circumstances, have someone come over.... We’re still providing the same aloha even though it may be long distance."

By the Numbers Molokai isn't the only island feeling the effects of a tightened budget.

Chu Takayama said across the state, about 10 positions within the division are also being cut. Currently 95 percent of claims in Hawaii are processed online. Even on Oahu, those filing claims rarely have face to face time with someone in an office, she added.

"There is uncertainty about how the Unemployment program will be operating under new [federal] administration...," she explained. "In that respect we’re being extra cautious right now because we don’t want to find ourselves in a deficit."

There are currently 57 active unemployment claims on Molokai, and Chu Takayama said they "want to

Why I fly with Makani Kai We’re fudging here a bit: Jo-Ann, like many local babies, was actually born on Oahu but has lived on Molokai since she was an infant. Her reason for flying with us? “I love Makani Kai…I love the pilots, there’s good availability of Molokai flights, and the staff is very friendly.” Good customer service is important to Jo-Ann, who knows a bit about the subject: she’s been a server at Longboard’s restaurant in Ko Olina for 18 years. “Makani Kai reminds me of the old Air Molokai,” she says, a comparison of which we’re proud.

UNEMPLOYMENT from pg. 1

make sure [those claimants] continue to be serviced and any new claims that come up."

Yet while the rest of the state shifts to online claims, Chocho Kaupu of the Molokai office said most people still come in to see her "because it's easier."

Molokai is also still topping the charts with the highest unemployment rate in the state.

As of last November, Molokai's unemployment rate, not seasonally adjusted, was 7.1 percent compared to the state's average of 2.8 percent, according to data from the state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. Both those rates showed a decrease over November the previous year, at which time the state had a 3.3 percent unemployment rate and Molokai's was at 8.9. Seasonal adjustment means that regular fluctuations in hiring and layoff patterns due to seasonal patterns are factored in for more meaningful comparison of data.

In 2015 on Molokai, the category of agriculture, forestry and fishing represented the largest percentage of claims at 21.3 percent. Construction and health care followed, each representing the careers of 12 percent of claimants.

Industry information was not available for 17 percent of the claims. The duration of claims from one to four weeks represented about 37 percent; about 34 percent filed claims for five to 14 weeks; and 28 percent filed for more than 15 weeks at one time. Fifty-eight percent of claimants selected Hawaiian as their ethnicity, while Filipino came in second at 16 percent.

Looking Back Kaupu, who has worked at Molokai's Unemployment Insurance office for 34 years, has seen it all over the years. She said these days, 50 to 60 coming into her office to file claims is a busy week, mostly representing seasonal agriculture workers, while a slow week is about 20.

She said overall, it's much fewer people than used to come in, when hotels represented the main industry on

the island.

"Back then [in the 80s and 90s], we were really busy," she said. "I've seen it all, I've been here since Del Monte."

She recalled when the pineapple company closed, laying off 300 or 400 employees, she was swamped and had to use Del Monte's office to process all the applications.

"Back then, all we had was this little dinky office," she said describing the small building that used to stand behind the current library in Kaunakakai.

When the Kaluakoi hotel closed, she once again couldn't accommodate everyone, so she got creative.

"We went and did applications out of a car [at Kaluakoi] and then processed the paperwork back at the office," she said.

But to her, it's all worth it.

"I like helping people, because that's the only way to do it," she said simply.

With her approaching retirement, she said she's still willing to help people with any questions on a volunteer basis.

"We’re very grateful that we had a long run with Chocho at the helm and are very grateful for all her years of service," said Chu Takayama.

Alberta Patchen with the Workforce Development division works alongside Kaupu in the same office space. She has 31 years on the job, and while Kaupu processes applications for funds when someone is out of work, Patchen connects people with employers and assists with navigating job applications and developing resumes.

She, too, has seen the effects of budget cuts over the last few years, going from three employees a few years ago to being the only one in her office now. Even though she is understaffed, she said she is familiar with the unemployment applications and can assist people.

Chu Takayama said she has been working to schedule a meeting on Molokai to share information on the changes with the community, at the request of DeCoite. The meeting's date has yet to be scheduled.

Hubbard said the mixed (boys and girls) crew did not travel this past weekend but will for next two races. MIL Canoe Paddling Championships are scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 28 on Maui and states will be on Oahu on Feb. 4.

The Molokai Girls Canoe Paddling team members are Tashady Florendo, Hulilau Albino, Kaydence Oswald, Talia Nakayama, Marion Powell and Sherie Kaili.

The Wrestling Team brought home a group of winners after last weekend's tournament. Though final results were not reported as of press deadline, Head Coach Randy Manley said the team had four first place finishers: Kelsey Bicoy at 132 lbs, Caele Manley at 138, Diego Deponte at 152 and Makana Kaahanui at 220.

“As a team we are improving with each tournament," said Randy Manley. The

At the end of the day, team 1037A won a Judges Award.

competition will continue the next three weekends on Maui through the MIL championships at Maui High on Feb. 11 and the state tournament Feb. 17-18.

The Swim Team had a successful first meet of the season last weekend. According to Coach Amanda Labriola, Kahale NaehuRamos has qualified for states in two events the 100 breaststroke and the 50 freestyle.

Genevieve Kikukawa got personal bests in all her events and is a second off of the qualifying time for the 100 backstroke. Michelle McGuire dropped more than 10 seconds in her 200 freestyle and gained a personal record in the 100 freestyle as well. She aded that both freshmen girls Kapili Naehu-Ramos and Kayla Derouin swam amazing for their first high school meet.

"I was all around extremely impressed with the outcome," said Labriola. "They came with their goals set and achieved them above and beyond what I could have ever asked for."

The next swim meet is on Jan. 20-21 on Maui, with MIL championships on Feb. 3-4, and the state championships will be on Feb. 10-11.

By Travis Tancayo A new fire engine was blessed last week for service on Molokai.

Engine 9 was named after the late Captain Christopher Cockett, who moved from Maui to Molokai as a Lieutenant and opened up the Kaunakakai Fire Station. He became Molokai’s first Fire Captain in 1953 until his retirement in 1976.

Cockett also served previously in the Army as a Staff Sergeant from 1940 to 1945, and in the 1930s, was

a machinist and welder in Lahaina.

His wife Elizabeth Cockett, and sons Kenui and Peter Cockett attended the blessing, which was performed by Kahu Reynolds Ayau, who is also a retired fireman. Councilwoman Stacy Crivello was in attendance, as well as several retired firemen from the old Kaunakakai station who worked under Captain Cockett: Weymouth Kamakana Sr, Henry Tancayo Sr, Jules Dudoit Jr and Edwin Kaawa.

Maui Electric will host a Kaluakoi and Maunaloa neighborhood meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 31 at the Maunaloa Community Center to discuss upgrades being made in efforts to improve electrical service to the West Molokai area. Light refreshments will be served at 5 p.m. with the meeting to follow from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

“We thank the people and businesses of West Molokai for their patience and understanding as we make these important improvements to our island’s aging electrical system,” said Mike Thomas, supervisor of Molokai distribution at Maui Electric.

“Such upgrades are part of our overall efforts to continue meeting the energy needs of our community, and ensuring your power is there when you need it.”

Funds for Local Organizations HI State Legislature News Release State grants are now available through the Senate Ways and Means Committee and House Finance Committee. Qualified nonprofits and other organizations are able to apply for State Grantsin-Aid (GIA) that may become available and will be under consideration during the 2017 Regular Session.

“I encourage any nonprofit [or] qualified organization that is eligible to apply for Grant-In-Aid Funds (GIA) to do so," said Rep. Lynn DeCoite of Molokai. "These funds are meant to help assist community organizations with expenses. This is a great way to bring dollars directly into your community -- but you can’t get them if you don’t apply."

Previous grants were appropriated to nonprofit and other organizations for various public purposes that were recognized as priorities and seen as complimentary to state government functions, including health, educational, workforce develop-

ment, and social services and cultural and historical activities.

In order to allow the Legislature time to thoroughly review applications, the deadline to submit grant applications will be 4:30 p.m. on Jan. 20. Last year, the Legislature awarded nearly $37 million in grants to various organizations across the state.

"I want to make sure that everyone in my district and across the State knows that this is an option before the Jan. 20 deadline passes," added DeCoite. "It is important to make sure the application is complete and all of the instructions are followed. Keep in mind that only hard copies of the GIA application are accepted... Take the time to get it done and turned in on time. This is your opportunity to get funding to help your community."

Information on the GIA process is available on the Legislature’s website, capitol.hawaii.gov. For any questions, please contact the Ways and Means Committee at 808-586-6800 or the Finance Committee at 808-586-6200.
