olokai Burger's grills will remain cold for two months, following a fire during the night of Monday, Feb. 13. The blaze and smoke caused significant damage to the building's interior and equipment, and the island's only drive-through is closed while repairs are made. Smoke was reported by a community member at 11:19 p.m., while the building was vacant. Three minutes later, firefighters were at the scene and found heavy smoke and active flames in the back kitchen area of the restaurant, according to the Fire Department. The fire was under control within 10 minutes and was fully extinguished around 1 a.m. No one was injured. Owner Rod Felt said employees had
left the restaurant at 10 p.m. that night. "We [later] watched the surveillance video... [of] them cleaning up and double checking everything... things were all turned off and put away," he said. "Then... smoke started billowing, gently at first, from an area where we keep our cleaning equipment." Felt said they could see the flash of light before the cameras went out. The fire likely originated in a closet space under the stairs. Felt said the fire department's initial investigation suggested the fire started from a personal device that was left plugged in -- an area Felt said employees frequently charge their cell phones. He said their insurance company's forensic team came at the end of last week to conduct a more thorough investigation. Fire officials say the fire appears to have been accidental, with no indicators it

was intentionally set. Though the building appears normal from the outside, the inside is blackened and heavily damaged. Heat near the ceiling reached 900 degrees, Felt said the fire department told him. The intense temperatures left behind an interior scene that could be from a sci-fi movie. Air conditioning units are melted; the plastic around display TVs dripped off in a hanging, tangled mess of electronic rubble; the exit sign above the front door is an unrecognizable blob of plastic dangling from the ceiling. The formerly spotless white tile of the dining area is coated in black, greasy smoke stains. The glass of light bulbs in the kitchen area melted into long icicles. Felt said structurally, the fireproof surfaces of the walls and ceilings held

man in a homemade, 22-foot boat was rescued off Kalaupapa by the Coast Guard early last Friday morning, Feb. 17. The Coast Guard received a mayday call at 1:43 a.m. from the vessel's 52-year-old occupant -- who remains unidentified by officials as of Sunday. At 3:08 a.m., the Coast Guard's dolphin helicopter crew hoisted the mariner from his fiberglass vessel, the Harmony B. With windy weather and 7-foot seas at the scene near the Kalaupapa lighthouse, the boat's captain said he believed his anchor was no longer holding and was concerned that the weather conditions would push his vessel onto the nearby rocks, according to the Coast Guard. No injuries were reported, and the mariner was flown safely back to the Coast Guard's air station. The Guard reported that he will work with Sector Honolulu personnel to develop a salvage plan for his boat. The same night, the Coast Guard also rescued six boaters from a grounded sailboat off Oahu.

oana's Hula Halau annual dinner and show wowed hundreds of attendees last Saturday night at the Molokai Community Health Center. This year, the funds raised will support the halau's trip to New Zealand in October. The show honored its late kumu hula Moana Dudoit, and featured performances by its own dancers, a sister halau in Japan and a men's group from Maui that showcased dances from Fiji -- all in front of a spectacular backdrop display under the banyan tree.

Why I fly with Makani Kai “I know the cost, there’s no hidden fees and check in is convenient,” says Kaleo. A firefighter by trade and a self-described computer dork, Kaleo also works for Pacific Electro Mechanical as a programmer for industrial automation. “We have our own Cessna for inter-island travel but the plane’s busy today.” In fact, Kaleo says he has access to Mokulele’s Corporate Program but he prefers flying with Makani Kai…even though he’s not the one picking up the tab. Now that’s customer loyalty.

They successfully helped cancer patients. Today, the Molokai Cancer Fund is incorporated with a 501 c3 nonprofit status. The Molokai Cancer Fund wants to give Molokai people a fighting chance to deal with cancer. They can assist with air travel, ground transportation, lodging, and limited medication co-pay.

Share Mana`o on Mo`omomi Subsistence Fishing Area DLNR News Release The Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) will hold public scoping meetings to discuss a proposal to establish a Community-Based Subsistence Fishing Area (CBSFA) along the north coast of Molokai. The proposed CBSFA extends from `Ilio Point in the west to Kaholaiki Bay in the east, from the shoreline out to one nautical mile. The proposal, which was submitted to DLNR by Hui Malama O Mo`omomi, seeks to ensure the abundance and availability of marine resources to support traditional subsistence fishing practices. DLNR is seeking public comments on proposed regulations, which would establish new bag limits, size limits, gear restrictions, and seasonal protections for certain fish and invertebrate species, and prohibit the commercial take of marine resources within the CBSFA.
Two meetings will be held on Molokai on March 16: at Kulana `Oiwi Halau from 12 to 2 p.m., and at Mitchell Pauole Center conference room from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. A third meeting will be held in Honolulu on March 21 at the Kawananakoa Middle School Cafeteria from 6 to 9 p.m. All interested persons are urged to attend one of the public meetings to learn more about the proposal and provide input. Persons unable to attend or wishing to present additional comments, may mail written testimony by Tuesday, March 28, 2017 to the Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR), 1151 Punchbowl St., Room 330, Honolulu, HI 96813. To read the full text of the proposal, visit dlnr.hawaii.gov/dar/ files/2017/02/Moomomi_CBSFA_ Full_Proposal.pdf.
6 Molokai Businesses Get Revitalization Funding County of Maui News Release Six Molokai businesses were recipients of the county’s Small Business Revitalization grants this year. The Mayor ’s Office of Economic Development (OED) and Lokahi Pacific announced that a total of $34,050 was awarded to companies in East Maui and Molokai. The small business revitalization grants are designed to assist businesses with fewer than 10 employees and that do business in Maui County’s rural communities such as Hana and Molokai, which have been identified as the areas hardest hit in their ability to recover from economic downturns. On Molokai, Lyndon R.L. Dela Cruz of Lanakila Designs received a $4,871 grant; Adolph M. and Corene K. Helm of Anahaki LLC received a $2,870 grant; Kalena Kaili-Thomas of Ali‘i Skin Care received a $3,569 grant; Michael K. and Jamesie K.V. Kahinu of Na‘ike’s Ltd. received a $2,853 grant; Tanya M. and Guy H. Naehu of MyLei received a $4,887 grant; and Jamie Lynn Ronzello of Barking Deer Farm received a $5,000 grant. In East Maui, Patrick H. O’Connell and Eldege A. O’Connell of Kipahulu Construction and Jodi Rings of East Maui Beekeeping, Limited dba Hana Bees both received $5,000 grants. The grant funds may be used for new equipment, renovation, websites,
marketing materials or other purposes that will help the businesses grow, prosper and create jobs. The grant program is a 40/60 match grant, which means that for applicants accepted, for every $40 they contribute they will receive a match of $60. “This program is very innovative,” said Mayor Alan Arakawa, “because it allows each applicant to determine exactly what they need in their business and provides owners a great opportunity and low-cost way to grow their business.” Molokai Council member Stacy Crivello said that “positive programs like this are such a great opportunity for our rural businesses to leverage their own limited funds.” OED Director Teena Rasmussen noted that “these businesses strive so hard for profitability. Small micro grants are such a great way to preserve the jobs these companies offer in our rural communities.” Lokahi Pacific was selected by OED as the master grantee and manager of the Small Business Revitalization grants. The Mayor ’s Office of Economic Development has a variety of grant programs targeted to different sectors in the economy. For more information on grant availability, visit the OED website at mauicounty.gov/OED.

he Molokai High School Wrestling team sent seven athletes to Oahu last weekend for the State Championships. After two days of hard fought matches, the Farmers had one wrestler reach the podium. Senior Makananui Kaahanui placed fourth in the 220 pound division. Kaahanui placed fifth last year. Five wrestlers advanced to Saturday's final matches -- four in the consolation bracket (Keeya and Kelsie-Lee BicoyJuario, Caele Manley and Hauoli Caparida) and Kaahanui in the semi finals. Head Coach Randy Manley said they faced tough competition but he was proud of his team. “Of the four we had in the quarterfinals consolation round, all four lost which put them out of the tournament," he said. "Makana lost in his semifinal but came back to win in the next round which put him in the final match for third and fourth. He lost by one point to take fourth place. The competition was tough and

I think we learned a lot to help us next season to prepare. All in all, we've had a good season and are looking for an even better one next year.” The other two wrestlers who competed at the state tournament were Taye Mowat and Sejah Pedro. As a senior, Randy Manley said Kaahanui was a great example for his teammates. "Makana is a great kid," said Manley. "He's a hard worker and good role model for the younger kids on our squad. He has been a real leader on our team and we will miss him."

T
he Molokai High School Farmers Baseball team, under Head Coach Ilika Kaahanui, hosted Pac 5 from the Interscholastic League of Honolulu on Oahu last weekend in a four-game preseason series at Duke Maliu Regional Park. On Friday, the Wolfpack defeated the Farmers 4-1. Saturday the two teams played a doubleheader and split the two games. Pac 5 won the early game 5-4 by scoring the winning run in the bottom of the 7th inning. Molokai came back to win the afternoon game 5-1. On Sunday morning, the teams combined to play a goodwill fellowship game to close the tournament. Hawaii baseball legend Sid Fernandez -- a member of the 1981 Kaiser High School state championship team and later drafter
by the LA Dodgers -- attended the game to watch his son play for Pac 5. He also serves as a pitching coach for the team. Fernandez went on to be traded to the Mets, where he won the World Series in 1986, and also played with the Phillies. Fernandez said he enjoys visiting Molokai. "The people [of Molokai] are very nice," he said. "They treat us like kings here. Unbelievable!" Molokai starts its MIL DII regular season on March 3-4 at home against St. Anthony. The only other home games are against Lanai on March 16, 17 and 18. The MIL DII Tournament is April 13-15 at Iron Maehara Stadium on Maui. The State Tournament is April 27-29 on Oahu.

FIRE From pg. 1 strong, with no wood burned. The Fire Department estimated damage to the building at $150,000, though damages to the equipment will bring the total up significantly, Felt said. In addition, thousands of pounds of food had to be thrown out after irreparable smoke damage. Molokai Burger opened at Mile Marker 0 in Kaunakakai in 2009, owned by Felt and his wife Kerrie. Their menu features a selection of burgers, fried chicken, fries, milkshakes and other fast food specials. Felt said they have about 20 employees, all of whom will continue to be paid during the estimated two-month closure. "We've got so many employees out of work, and we want to keep them busy," he said, adding they will assist with the cleanup efforts. "We will pay every one of them through this whole process." Felt said the community has been extremely supportive through the fire ordeal, with many calls and offers of help.
For more details and to apply for Kupu’s HYCC Summer program, visit kupuhawaii.org/hycc-summer/. Those interested in a paid summer internship opportunity may apply for one of four Kupu Conservation Leadership Development positions in the maintenance or cultural resource departments at Kalaupapa National Historic Park. Youth 17 and older who are working toward, or earned their high school diplomas, may apply for the program. Selected interns will receive $375 bi-weekly living allowances, $1,222 scholarship and may receive college credit upon completion of the program. The eight-week internships are available June 12-Aug. 4 and applications are due Tuesday, Feb. 28. To apply, visit http://www. kupuhawaii.org/conservation/. Extended Kupu Conservation Leadership Development internship positions on Molokai are also available starting October 2017 through August 2018. Selected interns will work at one partner site over a 10-month period, where they will gain indepth experience in natural resource management. In addition, Kupu interns will receive $720 in bi-weekly living allowances and a $5,815 scholarship upon completion of the program. Placement preferences will be provided to those who apply by June 30, 2017. For more details about position openings, visit kupuhawaii.org/conservation/. To learn more about Kupu and its conservation and sustainability programs for youth and young adults, visit kupuhawaii.org.
"Each time that happens, we just get a little lift," said Felt. "We don't feel any grief in this process at all, we just feel lifted and grateful that no one was hurt and grateful that we still have a building and grateful that we've got great employees and good neighbors." One of those "good neighbors" was the person who first reported the smoke that night. "We believe that we are being watched over," Felt explained. "A man that we know very well was coming up from the dock late at night and decided to pull over and have a nap... he pulled in by our property and went to sleep. He said, 'I was suddenly awakened and looked up and saw smoke coming from your building.' So he got on his phone and called 911 and they responded immediately." Felt had words of praise for both the Fire Department and their insurance company, State Farm, who he said has been "wonderful." Replacement equipment has already been ordered and Felt said he is hopeful the burger joint will be open again soon. "We feel blessed," he said. "The result was not as catastrophic as it could have been."

Veterans Corner Helping a Veteran
By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. Two weeks ago, I got a phone call from U.S. Navy veteran named Dennis Holst who served in Vietnam, and lives in a town called Odell, Nebraska. He asked if he could get some help, but first let me tell about him. In addition to being a Vietnam veteran, he was also stationed at Pearl Harbor with his wife, and during their time at Pearl Harbor, Dennis and his wife fell in love with Hawaii and it’s people. They made a promise to themselves that when they reached retirement age, they were going to move to Hawaii. Today, Dennis is 66 years old and unfortunately his wife passed away six years ago, and Dennis believes he should keep the promise he and his wife made 40 years ago. Dennis has done his homework and researched Hawaii, and our island of Molokai is the place he is looking for. He got a subscription to The Molokai Dispatch, read up on literature about Molokai, and thinks the world of Molokai. Dennis called me because he would like to visit Molokai for two to four weeks, and he asked me if I could help him get

some inexpensive lodging here. He would like to keep this visit to Molokai as inexpensive as possible so as to conserve as much of his capital as possible, because he knows the move to Hawaii will expensive. Dennis wants to spend some time here on Molokai before making his final decision. So if there is anybody here on Molokai that has an extra bedroom that Dennis use, or rent inexpensively please give old Jesse a call at 5533323, or you can give Dennis a call at home, the number is (785) 713-1068. Let’s see if we can help him out, and make his promise materialized. Dennis is doing the same thing I did eight years ago in 2009 when I visited Molokai and then made the decision to move here. I am so very glad I did, I feel that it has worked out well for me, on Molokai I have found true happiness. Having the opportunity to help another veteran to do the same thing I did really makes me happy, so come on community, help me to help Dennis Holst. Let us all do whatever we can for our troops at home or aboard, help them in every way possible, and pray for their speedy and safe return home. Remember that old Jesse loves Molokai and all its people, every man, women, and child from the heart you are my family. Give old Jesse a call at 553-3323 and let’s talk story. Semper Fi, aloha and mahalo.

LETTERS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
Highlighting Legislation Aloha e na kupa`aina o Molokai! My name is Keani Rawlins-Fernandez. I am a Molokai native, a blessed wife and mother of two, lifelong student, ocean and `aina lover, lawyer, and community advocate. Looking forward, I relish the opportunity to continue working together with our community to build a future for our keiki that we will be proud of. We have been blessed by kupuna who had the foresight and fortitude to fight to keep Molokai, Molokai. As outside pressure mounts around us, we must be maka`ala and be proactive, rather than reactive, in how we fight. For this reason, I would like to offer contributions to our newspaper highlighting legislation that has the potential to affect our community.
Looking back before the election, it was inspiring to see so many people involved and supporting causes and candidates, engaged in the political system by understanding important issues and constructive solutions. This is what democracy is about. It’s about power belonging to the people. It’s about people having a real choice in who represents their voice. Let’s be the ones who actively take part in crafting the laws that will have an impact on us now and into the future. What is important now is we unite where we agree and fight together. Watch for my first article in an upcoming issue. Keani Rawlins-Fernandez
