hile Kalaupapa patient Norbert Palea awaits a verdict for his Feb. 26 arrest for intent to distribute crystal methamphetamine, the settlement has been advised to treat him as it did prior to the allegations. “He is innocent until proven guilty,” said Mark Miller, Kalaupapa Department of Health (DOH) administrator. In a community meeting on March 9, he informed the patient residents and state workers that Palea “shouldn’t be treated any differently.” Palea, 68, was released Thursday, March 4 and arrived back at the peninsula the following day, Miller said. He was released on $25,000 bail. Palea is Kalaupapa’s youngest patient, and was arrested at the Honolulu International Airport nearly three weeks ago while on a medical visit. He was allegedly attempting to ship 18 grams of methamphetamine in several Ziploc bags. His court date was set for March 15. Kalaupapa National Historical Park Superintendent Stephen Prokop said although this situation brought sadness and embarrassment to the community, it also brought a sense of relief because the drug problem is being addressed and investigated. “Lives are being destroyed by this terrible drug, and this [situation] allows for help to be given to those who need it,” he said. “It will ultimately make the community a better place.” Kalaupapa Cont. on Page 5

Their PRISM program provides “real life application” to environmental issues, inspiring kids to tackle a range of issues from illegal hunting to carrying on Hawaiian sailing traditions. “Kids this age are always told they can’t – can’t drive, can’t vote,” said Dara Lukonen, coordinator for PRISM. “They have a strong sense of social justice that we need to capitalize [on].” All 60 students participate every year in PRISM – which stands for Proving Resolutions with Integrity for a Sustainable Molokai Penny Martin tells Aka`ula School students and their – which is in its 13th year. parents to take care of the `aina before it’s too late.

upert Manalili, 44, was a recent arrival to Molokai when he passed away on Dec. 29, 2009. His recently released autopsy reported cause of death to be accidental drowning. Detective Santiago, the officer in charge of his investigation, said there was no evidence of foul play and the investigation has been closed. “He had some injuries [on his hands] consistent with being facedown and making contact with the reef,” Santiago said. “None was significant” to cause of death. Manalili was found by two passersby on the morning of Dec. 30 at Papohaku Beach. Santiago said by the time medical help arrived, Manalili was already deceased. Manalili was born in Lakewood, Washington, and lived Massachusetts, New York City, and Colorado before living in Molokai. His travels took him to the Philippines, Japan, Maine, Paris, San Francisco, and the Caribbean before visiting the Hawaiian islands. He made friends on Molokai and decided to move here in Sept. 2009.

fter resolving a four-year parking lot issue, the adult daycare program at Home Pumehana has been granted a step forward. The Molokai Planning Commission (MPC) voted unanimously to extend the county special use permit to Hale Mahaolu. Hale Mahaolu is landlord of the Home Pumehana retirement center in Kaunakakai - the facility which would house the program. Vice-chair Steven Chaikin said the planned facility is a valuable service to the community. “Obviously [Molokai’s] adult daycare needs are going to continue,” he said. The application was filed in 2006, but halted when off-site parking could not be appropriately consolidated into the area. The County of Maui resolved the issue, but due to the length of time, the permit was set to expire in July 2016. Commissioner John Sprinzel suggested extending the permit, starting from this year, to give the permit a full 10 years. MPC agreed and voted to extend the special use permit to July 2020. Extending Home Pumehana into a daycare requires an additional license,

Each stood before the commission and voiced a concern they had about the community, such as the closing of Maunaloa Elementary. “It’s great to see you engaged and involved in the process,” Chaikin said. “You are the future of this island.” He also encouraged them to voice their thoughts at the next Molokai Community Plan, a public event every 10 to 20 years. As one commissioner who became active in Molokai affairs at the same age as these students, Mikiala Pescaia was proud to see them get involved as well. “I look forward to seeing you one day sitting in this seat,” she said.

In the March 10 issue of The Molokai Dispatch, it was incorrectly reported that the four topside churches are collectively known as the Molokai Catholic Community, as stated in ‘Name That Church.’ The four topside churches are known as the St. Damien Catholic Parish. Also St. Joseph’s Church did not change its name to St. Damien Church or Father Damien Church, and retains its name today.

Molokai Is – Round 4
“M
olokai is a small island but with lots and lots of love,” writes a student from Diane Abraham’s fourth grade class. It’s hard not to get teary-eyed seeing Molokai through the eyes of our keiki. If they are any sign of what our future holds, we have a beautiful and prosperous future ahead of us. Maika`i no e na haumana!
What Molokai Means To Me – fourth graders at Kualapu`u School On a sandy beach, a flower grows and that flower is the naupaka. On the same sandy beach, just out of reach, a seal lies and soaks in the sun. That seal’s name is Ho’ohelo. When not on the beach, he is out fishing in the deep blue sea. He finds fish, eels and squid to eat. Living free like Ho’ohelo is the Molokai lifestyle, and that’s what this island means to me. -Genevieve Kikukawa Molokai is beautiful. It’s like a blossom in the night and a flower in the day. Molokai is filled with nice people, and is surrounded by a turquoise sea. There are yummy fruits and big coconut trees. Molokai is my home; it’s the place where I was born and where my parents came when they were teenagers. -Michelle McGuire Molokai is called the Friendly Island. We are located in between the rest of the Hawaiian island chain. Our island color is green, and our flower is the kukui. We are a very small island, we have no traffic lights. Like the other islands, Molokai is a great place to live because we all know each other on this small little rock. My parents were born and raised on this island, and I wouldn’t change a thing on this Paradise Island. -Martika Kaulia Molokai is a beautiful place. It says ‘aloha’ everyday. Even though I was not born here, I know that this is my home. It is where my ancestors lived and are buried. Molokai is full of sweet people, and has beautiful fishponds and beaches. It is a peaceful place to be. Molokai is a small island but with lots and lots of love. -Ariah Hirashima I think Molokai is a beautiful island. It is a very peaceful place. Molokai means Aloha to me. It has great beaches and surf. The oceans are gorgeous and calm waters lap along its eastern shores. It is a lovely place to live. -Ilima Kaawa- Richardson The thing about Molokai is that there will always be aloha, peace, pono, laulima and malama. Molokai will stay green because people will malama the aina. There will be no pollution in the air or the sea. Molokai is a beautiful and nice place to live. It is a place to love. -Tashia-Lyn McGuire
Molokai is a peaceful and relaxing place. Its people take care of the land. We respect our people, and we love and aloha this island. We live with Hawaiian values. Molokai is a big ohana. We will keep Molokai the same. -Kaeo Adolpho What Molokai means to me is a beautiful island at night with a blanket of stars, and during the day, the warmth of a beautiful sun. -Camille Kahalewai Molokai is my home. It stretched out its arms and welcomed me and became my family when I needed it most. My family at church, at Kualapuu School, on the water in our canoes, and throughout the community, all provided me a sense of peace during a turbulent time in ways I could never have imagined. Molokai is life’s peaceful beach that I landed upon after crashing through waves of tumult. Aloha is imbedded here, with the sense of Ke Akua greater than any other place. -Diane Abraham (kumu) Barbara Ragan, Home Pumehana Molokai is my final destination in life. I have moved here permanently as of March 10, 2010, only to go back once in two weeks to move my furniture, car, and horse. This beautiful island and quaint town has everything I want in life, with its fantastic mountains, foliage and ocean views, quiet laid-back atmosphere and people that ride their horses down main street. This is heaven on earth. I have arrived before dying. Wally Newcombe, Kaunakakai What is Molokai? It is freedom Freedom to greet All you meet on the street Freedom to mix with all of Other beliefs. Freedom to love Your neighbor. Freedom to let your Children run freely. But mostly freedom to Live with peace of mind. By Kalae Arnold Molokai is a beautiful woman with a powerful voice that sings to our souls with ancient traditions, wise and true, that have nearly been forgotten. She reaches out through the fog of time, struggling to guide her people into an uncertain future. She has so much love and nourishment for her children. We should respect Molokai. We must malama Molokai. We need to listen to her song.

Learn to Hula By Alison Place
I
f you’ve ever had the opportunity to watch her dance, you would see a deep love and passion for hula exudes from Valerie Dudoit Temahaga. Her grace and aloha mesmerize and all who have watched her dance or teach can see this love and passion clearly. From the age of three Val learned to dance hula from Aunty Moana Dudoit - thus beginning the life-long love affair. It is a gift she has chosen to share with others. Forty-something years later, Val, now an Alaka’i is still dancing and is “paying it forward” by teaching any who wish to learn. “Today I can honestly say that if it wasn’t for Aunty Moana and Raquel, I would have never been where I am today. So to Aunty Moana and Raquel thank you so much from
the bottom of my heart for teaching me all that I know today about hula. They will always have a special part in my heart.” For those who have always longed to learn hula, Val says, “Come! If you truly have a love for hula than why wait? Only one thing, commitment plays a big part in any choice that you make. Hula is a commitment.” Val offers free hula classes every Monday (excluding holidays) at the Mitchell Pauole Center. Beginner (children) classes are from 4 – 5 p.m., advanced or experienced children come from 5 – 6 p.m. and adults have their class from 6 – 7 p.m. Call Joshua Adachi at 553-1730 to register or stop by and check it out!

A Healthy Choice
CHIP participants graduate to a healthier life. By Heather Driscoll
Aftermath Molokai’s first-ever CHIP program, hosted by the Molokai Seventh-day Adventist Church in conjunction with Na Pu’uwai Health Center, resulted in a total mind, body and lifestyle transformation, said Kurt Unglaub, CHIP program director in Molokai and pastor of Molokai Seventh-day Adventist Church. Collective results showed an 11 percent drop in total cholesterol, an average of five and a half pounds in weight loss, and a nearly nine percent drop in glucose levels. “[The group was] committed to two things – CHIP participants feast on a vegetarian buffet during a March 11 graduation ceremony at the Seventhchange diet and exercise,” day Adventist Church.

The Road to Change CHIP is an internationally-recognized program developed by Dr. Hans Diehl, which aims to reduce and even reverse disease risk factors including atherosclerosis, the No. 1 silent disease killer that narrows the arteries. Through the adoption of better health habits, the program assists with the lowering of blood cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar levels by reducing excess weight, enhancing daily exercise and improving dietary choices. Molokai’s CHIP program began with a comprehensive heart screening which detailed risk factor levels of the participants. Immediately following the program, the heart screening was conducted again, and individual results were shared at the group’s graduation ceremony at the Seventh-day Adventist Church on March 11. “We’re very proud of this group,” said Unglaub. “They made a big commitment and got good results. The main thing now is to stick with it, and they will.” Loke Gandeza, another program member, said she plans on keeping in touch with her fellow peers and continuing with her new healthy lifestyle. “I got a long way to go,” she said. “But at least I’m going.”

Kalaupapa Cont. from Page 1 Miller announced that if anyone, patients or employees, has a drug problem, there are facilities, counselors and intensive meth treatment programs available topside. “This can be seen as a positive thing,” Miller said. “We can move forward now.”
Landfill Closure Two landfills used by Kalaupapa will begin the closing process in May, an objective waiting to be met since 1996. The closing of the municipal solid waste landfill will be a two-month transition and should be completed by June, Miller said. The remaining landfill waste will be recycled, packaged and shipped out of Kalaupapa over the course of the months. “[The garbage] will most likely be shipped to a landfill in Honolulu – possibly Maui,” Miller said. The construction and demolition landfill, where construction and scrap materials go, will begin its closure also

in May, and aims to be fully closed by summer or fall, Miller said. He added anyone who builds in Kalaupapa in the future will have to take leftover material with them. Since the National Park Service (NPS) has assumed the responsibility of all solid waste management facilities on Kalaupapa, the Hansen’s disease Branch is required to close all facilities not used by the NPS. The NPS will also be operating recycling and composting facilities in Kalaupapa for recyclable, composted and other solid waste generated by the community. Miller said in order for the settlement to receive financial aid from the NPS to ship its garbage, it had to get its waste production down to 300 pounds per week. While the goal has been met, Kalaupapa at one point was producing up to 900 pounds of garbage a week. “Part of [the decrease] I’m sure was due to the [newly-implemented] recycling program, but it’s still a work in progress,” Miller said.

by Glenn I. Teves, County Extension Agent, UH College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources
A
vocados are one of those healthy fruits available year-round in Hawaii. Eaten straight from its’ own bowl or combined in a salad, it’s one of those healthy alternatives for lunch or even dinner. Hawaii farmers produce about half of the avocados we consume through retail markets, but who knows how many avocados are shared, traded, and sold within our communities. The consumption of avocado in Hawaii has skyrocketed in recent years. From 1999 to the present, avocado consumption increased from 600,000 pounds to over 2 million pounds annually, with most of this increase filled by California-grown avocados. Kona is the major production area in the state, where around 10 avocado cultivars are grown commercially. It’s estimated that there are about 150 avocado farms throughout the state. Avocado was introduced to Hawaii in the early 1800s, probably by Spanish horticulturalist Don Francisco de Paula Marin. Avocados are native to Central America and the Caribbean area. There are three main races of avocado. The Guatemalan is a winter-spring bearer with its characteristic hard, tough, thick, pebbled skin is medium to large in size with each fruit weighing more than 150 grams. The Mexican race, with its characteristic anise-scented leaves, is a summer-fall bearer with its thin and smooth skin and fruits less than 150 grams in fruit size. The West Indian race is a late summer-fall bearer with smooth, thick, and pliable skin, and is
medium to large, with fruits usually larger than 150 grams. Most of the cultivars grown in Hawaii are crosses of these races, and some cultivars can be as large as a football. Through the natural crossing of these races, it’s possible to have avocados available year-round by planting cultivars for the different seasons. Sharwil, Kahaluu, Malama, Linda and Nishikawa are fall to winter bearers, while Yamagata, Ohata, Murashige and locally-grown Hass are spring to summer bearers. Almost half of the avocados grown in Hawaii are of one cultivar, Sharwil. A selection from Australia, Sharwil bears well on Molokai and will usually mature around Christmas. It’s easy to determine ripeness due to its drying pedicel or stem. Avocado prefers cool and moist conditions similar to those found in upper Hoolehua, Kualapuu, Kipu, and Kalae, and also grow well in many of the east end valleys. In drier areas, supplemental irrigation is required or they will die. It’s important that trees get sufficient water after flower set, while too much water will result in a watery or bland taste. Well drained soil is a must due to a disease that attacks the roots. My grandfather used to tell me when the avocado tree is full of flowers, a windy season would be coming our way. I think it just arrived. Like many tropical fruits, only a small percentage of the flowers will reach full maturity, and this means a fraction of 1%.

Fire Prevention Public Service Announcement By Fire Inspector Rick Schonely
S
pring has arrived and your thoughts may be turning to that dreaded ritual of spring cleaning. In an effort to make this “Spring Cleanup” a fire safe one, the Molokai Fire Prevention office provides the following safety tips:
• Clean your garage/carport of stored newspapers or other rubbish that can fuel a fire. Newspapers stored in a damp, warm place may ignite spontaneously. • Test your smoke alarms monthly. • To help prevent nuisance alarms, gently vacuum your smoke alarm every six months or as needed. • Change batteries in smoke alarms, flashlights and carbon monoxide detectors. • Never borrow smoke alarm batteries to use for toys or other equipment. • Replace all smoke alarms every 10 years or as recommended by the manufacturer • Check your electrical box; make sure it has proper clearance and breakers are labeled. • Keep outdoor debris or dead vegetation away from the house. • Properly dispose of oily or greasy rags. If these items must be stored, they should be kept in labeled,
sealed, metal containers. • If you store gasoline, keep it outside your home in a shed or detached garage. Keep only small quantities in tightly sealed containers. Use gasoline only as a motor fuel - never as a cleaning agent. • Always store paint and other flammable liquids in their original, labeled containers with tight-fitting lids. Always store them at least 18 inches from appliances, heaters, pilot lights and other sources of heat or flame. • Use outdoor barbecue grills with caution. Place in a safe area away from building, windows, heating, ventilation and air conditioning units or places with high/dead vegetation. • Never use gasoline to start the fire, and don’t add charcoal lighter fluid once the fire has started. • Use barbecue grills outside only - not under overhangs or balconies, and away from combustibles. • Check your propane barbecue grill hose for leaks and cracks; never store propane indoors. If you have any questions or would like clarification on any fire safety tips please call the Fire Prevention Bureau Molokai Office at 553-8491. Stay Fire Safe!

Have you seen this one-legged kolea? By Arleone Dibben-Young
A
juvenile female kolea (Pacific Golden-Plover, Pluvialis fulva) arrived in October on the beach at Kanoa Pond in Kawela. Within two months, the bird had lost its left leg due to an impact injury. The bird was captured, banded, and released to document the natural leg amputation and determine the extent of its win-
ter territory so that observations can be made recording its return in the fall upon migrating from its breeding grounds in Alaska. This bird has been observed in the late afternoon three-quarters of a mile to the north at the top of Kawela Plantation Unit II, most likely near its rooting area on a rooftop. Have you seen this bird? It is banded with a green band over a metal band on the right leg. Please report sightings to Arleone at 553-5992 or researchbirds@yahoo.com.

at Lanikeha Center, where the students presented their projects to their classmates, parents and the community. One project brought to light the problems with illegal hunting and poaching. Eighth-grader Caulin Nelson-Angelsea said his group chose their project because a lot of poachers leave their carcasses, especially on private property. They passed out surveys to get residents’ opinion of poaching. They found the majority surveyed didn’t think there was a poaching problem on the island. “A lot of people poach but don’t know they’re poaching [or doing something wrong], or don’t know there is a certain number of deer you can kill, or don’t know you can’t go certain places,” he said. New to PRISM this year was Aka`ula’s class, Issues 101, where new students join the fifth and sixth students in researching their first symposium issue – alternative energy – as a class. The other students work in groups of four, come up with their own issue facing Molokai, and research how to deal with it. Lukonen said some of
the students’ projects are so well researched, and their action plans so realistic, community members have approached the school to use their work and implement the keiki ideas. Caulin has done a symposium project for the last three years and likes sharing with the community. “It was nice to see community members that weren’t our family, learning about issues on Molokai, learning what the keiki of Molokai are doing.” Another part of the symposium is a keynote speaker – a community member who has done their own work in an environmental field for Molokai. This year Penny Martin spoke about her experience sailing in the Hokule`a, a fullscale replica of a Polynesian voyaging canoe, in 1976. She said she discovered how much the ancient Polynesians and Hawaiians knew about nature – stars, tides, botany – and how it helped them sail from Oceanic islands to the Hawaiian islands over a thousand years ago. “Everything you need is here,” she explained. “If you take care of the land, it takes care of you.”

ollowing a 17-year tradition, 17 Molokai High School students and three co-advisors left Friday, March 12, 2010 for Washington D.C. to participate in the Close Up program. Since 1990, Molokai High School students and their families have raised thousands of dollars to annually travel to Washington, D.C. to participate in this exciting program. At Close Up students and their teacher-chaperones explore the inner workings of Washington, meet with elected officials – such as Senators Inouye and Akaka and Representative Hirono – policy experts and media, and live and learn with peers from across the country. Twenty-nine high and middle schools from Hawaii will participate in Close Up 2010 with Molokai High School having the largest participation at 17 students.
For these students during their weeklong stay, Washington will become a living classroom. To follow the Close Up groups’ daily happenings, go to http://www. molokai.k12.hi.us/, click on the school logo, and locate the Close Up site. Students will be posting their reactions and reflections day-by-day. Come join them on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at the Molokai High School Library where the students will be able to show their appreciation to their parents and the Molokai community for their support. They will share what they’ve seen and learned in Washington, DC in a multimedia format that will recount stories and behind-the-scene efforts that made Close Up 2010 a mobile community of learners for the Molokai community.

Business & Government Tough Decisions, Careful Spending By Mayor Charmaine Tavares
Council, hard choices must be made from the limited options before us. A copy of the FY 2011 budget proposal can be viewed online at www.mauicounty. gov/budget. Another financial consideration for Maui County is HB 2598. I want to thank everyone, citizens and businesses alike, for supporting our efforts to keep our Transient Accommodations Tax (TAT) portion intact. The House Committee on Finance showed tremendous leadership by voting unanimously in favor of amendments that allowed the counties to keep their share of the TAT. The State House of Representatives subsequently voted to support the measure as well. Now that the bill has crossed over to the Senate, the next six weeks before the Legislature adjourns on April 29th will be critical. The bill has already passed first full reading in the Senate and is expected to be considered by the Ways and Means committee (WAM), and was scheduled for a joint hearing this past Monday by two Senate committees: Tourism, and Transportation and International/Intergovernmental Affairs (TSM/TIA). This very short window of time will determine whether we will receive the over $20 million in TAT revenues generated in Maui County and intended to help pay for the impacts of the visitor industry on our roads, parks, sewer, water, police, fire and lifeguard services. While TAT revenues alone will not solve our current fiscal crisis, they represent an important and needed revenue source in our County’s operating budget. Time is of the essence - please voice your support to the legislature for HB 2598 to allow Maui County and the state’s three other counties to retain their share of the TAT.

S
aying Maui County has an “advantageous position” in its lawsuit against Molokai Properties Ltd., the county’s lead civil attorney asked for and received permission on Friday from Maui County Council members to enter into settlement negotiations. The company, which was formerly Molokai Ranch, is eager to end the Maui County suit as well as five other ongoing legal proceedings with the county and state, said the county’s special counsel and former state Attorney General Margery Bronster. And when a judge caught wind of it this week, he ordered the county to enter into settlement discussions with the company, Bronster said. “We can’t read too much into this, except we’ve received an overture,” Deputy Corporation Counsel Jane Lovell said. “It’s nice to see they suddenly want to make nice; and we are willing to consider reasonable solutions, if we hear any.” She said the county is not at liberty to discuss what an outcome may look like. The negotiation process is just in its infancy, anyway, Lovell said. For almost two years now, Maui County has sought a court order that will require the MPL’s three utilities to continue to provide water and wastewater services to residents in the central and west Molokai communities. The ranch had developed the towns years ago and wanted to force the county to take over the utilities soon after its bid to develop luxury homes on Laau Point stalled back in 2007. On Friday, the council unani-
mously approved a resolution initiated by Bronster. She was hired by the county Department of the Corporation Counsel to handle the complicated Molokai case. A trial is scheduled to begin June 14 before 2nd Circuit Judge Joel August in Wailuku. With that date looming and a number of rulings going against the company so far - MPL attorneys reached out to Bronster to help forge a settlement, Bronster said. “She noted that time is of the essence, as trial preparation will need to commence well before the trial date,” according to the resolution presented by Lovell to council members. Bronster said Molokai Properties Ltd.’s attorneys indicated that the company wants “a settlement of all pending matters.” That would include lawsuits, appeals and price-hike applications with the state Health Department and Hawaii Public Utilities Commission. “So we will be going forward and pursuing our rights,” Bronster said. “If we can resolve it in a way that makes sense, we will do so. But if they don’t make an offer that will work, we are ready to move to trial.” Back in October of 2008, August also declined a request by the company to dismiss the county’s lawsuit. And in December 2009, he sided with the county and said that the state Department of Health does not have the authority, as Gov. Linda Lingle had indicated, to compel the county to take over the private utilities, Bronster said.

n the last three years our world has gone from positive global economic conditions to an extraordinary global decline. During those years, we have worked tirelessly with many others to meet the economic challenges Maui County has had to face. In the summer of 2008, we recognized that our departments needed to prepare for tough times. We began to reduce operating expenses in order to be fiscally responsible, and we continue to do so. We managed to avoid a reduction in public services by cutting costs, deferring spending so savings could be carried over to the next year, and by concentrating on obtaining available federal funding. Responsible spending, careful decision making, and constant monitoring have kept us moving forward, but we are now reaching a new phase. Due largely to lower revenues based on property values assessed in the previous year, County government experiences a delayed impact even as signs that the economy is recovering begin to show. In our current 2010 fiscal year, revenues are lower than expected and we are addressing a deficit of nearly $14 million. Through financial restraint and the postponement of a bond sale, we are tackling this revenue shortfall. In addition to this year’s challenges, we are now bracing for what presents itself as a very difficult fiscal year ahead. In order to balance our expenses with our revenues, it is likely that cutbacks to operations and public services will take place in the upcoming fiscal year that begins July 1st. As outlined in my FY 2011 budget proposal delivered earlier this week to the Maui County

An Unforgettable Day in Halawa Valley with Kumu Pilipo Solatorio and Josh Pastrana By Annette Johnson

He told me to wander around and see what his son was doing in the taro fields. I found Josh nearby attending to a fire where the taro would be boiled. He said that he needed to harvest some taro for the talk, so we walked over to the fields. Josh mentioned to me that he was a teacher, and soon I rolled up my capri pants and wade in barefoot, like him, harvesting the beautiful taro plants.

The Buzz on Bulbs
Land & Environment
Q&A with Francois Rogers of Blue Planet Foundation. By Heather Driscoll
Q:
When will the first shipment of bulbs arrive and how can I get them? A: The first shipment of 44,000 bulbs will arrive on March 25 and will be available for exchange through various merchants, including Molokai Drugs, churches and organizations. Beginning March 27, teachers, students and parents will have the opportunity to exchange their bulbs through their school campus. Exchange hours will vary depending on each school and business. Detailed information will be made available on the project’s website, www.greenmolokai.org. Q: How many bulbs can I exchange? A: You can exchange as many bulbs as you like. However, it will be a 1-1 ratio. For as many new compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) you receive, you have to turn in the same amount of incandescent bulbs. Q: Am I required to fill out a survey in order to exchange bulbs?
A: No. The survey is a separate ve-
hicle for determining the amount of energy used on Molokai and a general census of how many bulbs each household contains. So far, 400 of the 3,000 surveys have been collected, but anyone still interested in participating in the survey may do so. The surveys are being distributed through the schools and online access of the survey will be made available soon. Q: How much will I save on my monthly energy bill if all bulbs are replaced? A: It ultimately depends on your usage of energy and the type of bulbs used. But on average, about 10 percent of energy consumption is based on home lighting. Therefore, if you spend $200 a month on your electrical bill, $20 (10 percent) of that bill is going directly toward lighting. If all bulbs were replaced with CFLs, you would be reducing your energy usage by 75 percent. That is about $15 in savings each month. Q: What’s the difference between

posters and handouts that will educate the community on the economic and environmental value of saving energy, while providing tips on how to take further action with energy-efficiency. Q: How will the old incandescent bulbs be disposed and is it safe for the environment? A: Today, incandescent light bulbs are disposed through normal trash collection and into a landfill that is properly lined with plastic to prevent any chemicals from seeping through. Molokai’s landfill is appropriately lined according to state regulations, and will therefore not be harmful to the environment. Q: How will the CFLs be disposed once they have reached their maximum lifetime? A: Blue Planet Foundation is currently working with the County of Maui to develop a CFL recycle plan for the island of Molokai. Answers were provided by Francois Rogers, Blue Planet special projects director.

light emitting diodes (LED), CFL and incandescent bulbs? A: LEDs are even more energy-efficient than CFLs, using about 1/10 of the energy of an old-style incandescent bulb. At this point in time, however, LEDs are substantially more expensive than your average CFL. As of yet, the most practical, cost-efficient way to reduce lighting energy is by replacing your incandescent bulbs with CFLs. Q: How are Molokai schools involved with this project? A: The idea for this project was to make it as youth-centered as possible. Students participating in the project are researching and gaining valuable knowledge about harmful carbon emissions and energy-efficiency, and will be passing along this information to the community through a series of campaign movements. Not only are they involved with the distribution process, but with all educational aspects, as well. Teachers and students are embracing these ideas by creating flyers,

Free Will Astrology By Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19): From what I can tell, your excursion to Fake Paradise didn’t exact too serious a toll. The accidental detour may have seemed inopportune in the moment, but you know what? I think it slowed you down enough to keep you from doing something rash that you would have regretted later. And are you really sorry you were robbed of your cherished illusions? In the long run, I think it was for the best. As for the scratches on your nose from when you stuck it into business you weren’t “supposed” to: They’re a small price to pay for the piquant lesson you got in how not to live. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Some people are here on the planet to find success, while others are here to find themselves. In the big scheme of things, I’m not sure which category you fit into, Taurus. But I’m pretty sure that for the next few weeks you’ll be best served by acting as if you’re the latter. Even if you think you’ve found yourself pretty completely in the past, it’s time to go searching again: There are new secrets to be discovered, in large part because you’re not who you used to be. So for now at least, I encourage you to give your worldly ambitions a bit of a rest as you intensify your self-explorations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Being a paragon of moral behavior can be fun and rewarding. It’s amazing how many interesting people want to play with me just because they think I’m so #%&@ high-minded. But I’ve got to confess that my commitment to discipline and righteousness is sometimes at odds with my rebellious itch to give you mischievous nudges and outrageous challenges. Like right now, the conscientious teacher in me might prefer to advise you to keep a lid on debauchery, voracity, excess, uproar, slapstick, wise-cracking, fireworks, and limit-pushing. But the rabble-rousing agitator in me feels obligated to inform you that at no other time in 2010 will the karmic price be lower for engaging in such pursuits. CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s time for you to stop specializing in furtive glimpses and start indulging in brazen gazes. You’re ready to phase out your role as a peripheral influence and see if you can be more of a high-intensity instigator and organizer. Yes, Cancerian, you’ve earned the right to claim more credibility and clout -- to leave your tentative position outside the magic circle and head in the direction of the sweet hot spot. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Nature seems to exult in abounding radicality, extremism, anarchy,” wrote Annie Dillard in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. “If we were to judge nature by its common sense or likelihood, we wouldn’t believe the world existed. In nature, improbabilities are the one stock in trade. The whole creation is one lunatic fringe . . . No claims of any and all revelations could be so far-fetched as a single giraffe.” (Dillard’s entire passage is here: http://bit. ly/TinkerCreek.) Reading this passage is a good way for you to prepare for the immediate future, Leo. Why? Because you’ll soon be invited to commune with outlandish glory. You’ll be exposed to stories that burst from the heart of creation. You’ll be prodded to respond to marvelous blips with marvelous blips of your own. But here’s the catch: It may all remain invisible to you if you’re blinded by the false belief that you live a boring, ordinary life. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The storm is your friend right now, Virgo. So are the deep, dark night and the last place you’d ever think of visiting and the most important thing you’ve forgotten about. So be more willing than usual to marinate in the mysteries -- not with logical ferocity but with cagey curiosity. The areas of life that are most crucial for you to deal with can’t be fully understood using the concepts your rational mind favors. The feelings that will be most useful for you to explore are unlike those you’re familiar with.
Hawaiian: Lili. Jealous. Kekahi `anon a`au I loko ou ke loa`a `ole `oe I kekahi mea au I makemake ai a loa`a kekahi kanaka `e a`e. Example: Ua hele a lili ko`u kaikua`ana no ka mea he kala nui ka`u. My sister was jealous of me because I had lots of money.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here’s your mantra for the coming week: “I disappear my fear. I resurrect my audacity.” Say it and sing it and murmur it at least 100 times a day. Let it flow out of you after you’ve awoken each morning and are still lying in bed. Let it be the last sound on your lips as you drop off to sleep. Have fun with it. Dip into your imagination to come up with different ways to let it fly -say it as your favorite cartoon character might say it, like a person with a Swedish accent, like your inner teenager, like a parrot, like a grinning sage. “I disappear my fear. I resurrect my audacity. I disappear my fear. I resurrect my audacity.” SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Have you ever heard about how some all-night convenience stores blast loud classical music out into the parking lot in order to discourage drug dealers from loitering? In the coming days, use that principle whenever you need to drive home a point or make a strong impression. Your aggressive expressions will be more effective if you take the darkness and anger out of them, and instead fill them up with forceful grace and propulsive compassion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The Hebrew word chalom means “dream.” In his book Healing Dreams, Marc Ian Barasch notes that it’s derived from the verb “to be made healthy and strong.” Linguist Joseph Jastrow says that chalom is related to the Hebrew word hachlama, which means “recovery, recuperation.” Extrapolating from these poetic hints and riffing on your astrological omens, I’ve got a prescription for you to consider: To build your vitality in the coming weeks, feed your dreams. And I mean “dreams” in both the sense of the nocturnal adventures you have while you’re sleeping and the sweeping daytime visions of what you’d like to become. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I just found out the American shipping company UPS has legally trademarked the color brown. The grass-roots activist in me is incredulous and appalled. But the poet in me doesn’t really care; it’s fine if UPS owns drab, prosaic brown. I’ve still got mahogany at my command, as well as tawny, sepia, taupe, burnt umber, tan, cinnamon, walnut, and henna. That’s especially important for this horoscope, Capricorn, because I’m advising you to be very down to earth, be willing to get your hands dirty, and even play in the muck if necessary in order to take good care of the basics. But don’t do any of that in a boring, humdrum “brown” way. Do it exotically and imaginatively, like mahogany, tawny, sepia, taupe, burnt umber, tan, cinnamon, walnut, and henna. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are hereby excused from having to know a single nuance about the inside story of Angelina Jolie’s secret love tryst with Lady Gaga, or the addictions of conspiracy theorists who lose huge sums of money gambling on the end of the world, or the agony that millionaires suffer from having to support social services with their taxes. In fact, it’s a good time to empty your mind of extraneous, trivial, and useless facts so that you can clear vast new spaces for more pressing data, like how you can upgrade your communication skills, why you should do some upkeep on your close alliances, and what you might do to streamline your social life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In my astrological opinion, you don’t need anything that shrinks you or deflates you or tames you. Influences that pinch your imagination should be taboo, as should anything that squashes your hope or crimps your life force. To make proper use of the vibrations circulating in your vicinity, Pisces, you should gravitate toward situations that pump up your insouciance and energize your whimsy and incite you to express the most benevolent wickedness you can imagine. You’ve got a mandate to fatten up your soul so it can contain a vaster sense of wonder and a more daring brand of innocence.
By Ko`i`ula Davis English: Magnanimous. Proceeding from or revealing generosity or nobility of mind, character. The young keiki showed a magnanimous gesture of forgiveness for making fun of their fellow classmates.

Saturday with Lono at the Kite Shop. It was so cool to see so many people there. I needed a jacket because it was so cold and Aunty Jan whipped one off the rack and gave it to me. I was so surprised. I gave her a donation. She said everything is free but I told her I wanted to share the aloha she has by my donation for those who can’t. I have never seen so many people come in for passport photos here. I guess the Philippine Consulate is arriving in a few weeks and they need to get passports updated. Such nice people to talk with.

Letters Need Kupuna Care
We are asking the community of Molokai to support SB819 related to Kupuna Care.
T
he Kupuna Care Program is Hawaii’s state funded Home and Community Based program. It is administered by the Executive Office on Aging in partnership with the four county Area Agencies on Aging. The program is meant to address the need for affordable home and community based long term care services that can help people remain at home for as long as possible. Home and Community Based services through Kupuna Care are provided on a voluntary contribution basis. This program helps individuals who fall within the “gap group” – people who cannot afford to pay for services and do not qualify for Medicaid. It provides an important safety net that can assist people in avoiding going into poverty due to the high cost of longterm care – and then being forced into more costly institutional settings paid for by the tax payer.
The base budget for Kupuna Care from Hawaii’s General Fund has remained flat at $4,854,350 since 2002 and has not kept pace with the need for services due to Hawaii’s rapidly expanding aging population. Additional money was appropriated in 2007, 2008, and 2009, however, the 2009 money was restricted by the Governor. This bill if passed will support eight activities, including Adult Day Care, Personal Care, and Transportation for a doctor’s visit. Please write to the Governor’s office and request that 2009 funding be released for Kupuna Care. Please write your legislators and ask them to support this program, SB 819, Kupuna Care. Sincerely, John Wordin President, Molokai AARP chapter No. 4908

he Congress debate on the Akaka Bill showed how spin doctor politicians can interject their talking points, for instance the race card to muddy the truth. Fact—there are three indigenous groups in America—Native American Indian, Native Alaskan and Native Hawaiian. The US gave legal recognition to the American Indians and the Native Alaskans as indigenous people to inherit rights to land and culture. Why not Native Hawaiians? Are Native Hawaiians less indigenous? Many don’t want to validate the existence of Native Hawaiians and history of the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani. They

pick and choose the history and justice. There is a tsunami of reasons why we need to make pono Native Hawaiian issues. Start with the State of Hawaii using stimulus money to put all wind and solar energy on Kaho’olawe and selling it to all island electric companies generating billions of dollars for Hawaii’s people. Would the lives of George Helm, Kimo Mitchell and all who fought for change and justice in a peaceful manner agree??? More hello—no more furlough. Larry Helm, Native Hawaiian Concerned citizen

Letters and Announcements Listening to God’s Voice To my fellow retirees, hardworking Americans and future retirees,
A
message to the church: Whose voice are you listening to? Are you listening to the whole counsel of God, or merely confining yourself to what your particular denomination teaches as their “central doctrine?” We are praying for revival, and revival will come when we as God’s people truly humble ourselves in such a way that we are willing to come into agreement with all that our Lord says and willing to obey as well. Many say that “we are only human, therefore we cannot hope to cease from sinning.” This is a lie from the enemy of our souls. The voice of the stranger will try to convince you that it’s okay to continue to commit a pet sin, because “we’re only human.” However, the Lord can and will deliver us completely from sinning if we are willing. 1 John 3:8-9 states, the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, that He might destroy the works of the devil. No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he
is born of God. “Practicing sin” speaks to the refusal to truly “repent” of a pet sin or sins. Repentance is a complete turning away from sin and turning to the Lord. Jesus told us, “be ye therefore perfect, as your Father in heaven is perfect.” John 8:31-32. Jesus is able to fill us with a “full assurance of faith’ as we surrender completely to His Lordship. We can know that we are free and rise upon the wings of eagles as we live for Him and allow Him to bring glory to His name through us. He wants to make us “living epistles” or living letters to all those around us so that He can draw them to Himself. I testify to you today that the Lord has forgiven me of all sin and has cleansed me of all unrighteousness. He has washed me by the water of the word and by His cleansing blood. He has filled me with His Holy Spirit and I am walking daily with Him. Praise His holy name. Call me if you have any questions. Pastor Mike 213-5007 or 553-3757 Email miker@wave.hicv.net
To Community Leaders…
I
n Hulili, Multidisciplinary Research on Hawaii Well-Being, Vol. 5 (2008), “Molokai: Future of a Hawaii Island,” it states that Molokai is the last Hawaiian island, that Molokai is pro-lifestyle, that Molokai is a cultural repository for it is a place where people come to learn Hawaiian culture and more. This publication was written by a hui of `opio and makua with many community contributors’ mana`o. On these fifty pages, the document states their efforts to carry forward the holistic vision to protect and nurture the natural and cultural resources for the future of Molokai. These writers are a few of the young committed and dedicated leaders n our community who (1) acknowledged culture and history (2) connected with kupuna and community members (3) led by example (4) were activated spiritually by a higher power (`Akua) and (5) did not turn away from adverse challenged, but persevered…Pono!
On pages 54-56, a list of these leaders includes: M. Akutugawa, K. Hanchette, K. Mick, N. Leong, J. Pastrana, H. Williams, M. Yamashita, N. Yamashita and T. Yamashita. May their leadership example inspire `opio and makua in the community to be the best in serving others. Molokai is proud of you and so am I! In addition, further research findings worth reading in Hulili, Vol. 5 were written by young Hawaiian leaders in our state. To name a few, they are Shawn Kana`iaupuni, Ku`ualoha Ho`omanawanui, Noelani GoodyearKaopua, and Kanoelani Naone. I found Guy Kaulukukui and Daniel Naho`opi`i’s, “The Development of an Inventory of Exemplary Hawaiian Leadership Behaviors,” pages 95-131, profoundly interesting and you will, too.
I
am sending this important message to you to let you know of the great uncertainty over our Social Security benefits and Medicare. The government is going to slowly take away what belongs to you by putting its dirty hands on our Social Security retirement benefits and steamrolling cuts on your Medicare, in order to help pay for our huge deficits. Medicare and Social Security have been the basic financial support for our retirees. If President Obama cares about health care coverage for everyone, he most certainly does not care bout our retirees. As of this writing Washington is proposing an entitlement commission that will result in unfair cuts to Medicare and Social Security. Because of our immense debts, politicians are looking at every nook and cranny where they can extract a dollar or two to pay for our deficits. Your Social Security benefits and your Medicare dollars are easy targets. So I am asking you to be a member of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. We have to do this before they appoint the entitlement commission. The address:
Barbara B. Kennelly National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare 10 G St, NE Suite 600 Washington D.C. 20002-4215 www.nepssm.org If all of us are members, we can have a tight grip of the situation. All over America we will have a voice that can be heard in Washington. You have to stand up and tell Washington and those who would like to take away what is rightfully yours that they have to listen to you for a change or they will be out of a job. Just keep a keen eye on those politicians and take away their jobs as some have shown from the latest election results. Let everyone know and contact as many senior citizens, retired people, young people and those who care about our future. Use your email and make the whole world know about your concern. If we care for those whom we love this is a good reason to show how we love them…because it is their future that is at stake! Thank you for your support. Sincerely yours, Dem Cari
