The 23rd annual Ka Hula Piko festival brought the Molokai community, along with visitors from around the world, together to celebrate hula traditions and how Hawaiians today are connected to kupuna of the past through the elements. “The wind and the elements are so important in our lives and our ancestors made connections to them…that taught us to mind the protocol and be aware of these elements when they are in action,” said Kumu Hula Elsie Ryder, ho`opa`a, or chanter, of Halau Hula O Kukunaokala. “Our ancestors and Ke Akua communicate with us through the elements.” This year’s theme for the event was “Ku I Ke Kiu,” honoring the northwestern Kiu wind, or scout wind, that welcomed travelers to Pu`u Nana, the birthplace of hula, in the ancient days. Hawaiians built an intimate relationship with the winds which helped them to farm, fish, navigate. Caring for the environment is a kuleana Hawaiians can share through hula, according to Ryder. “Be sensitive to the sea, the breeze, the rain and understand what is happening around you,” she said. “That protocol will teach [younger generations] how to act because they were taught from their kupuna to respect the earth through the hula traditions. It’s through the hula that we are able to express the love of our ancestors.” Donning vibrant colored pa`u skirts and and fragrant lei, eight hula groups representing Oahu, Molokai and Hawaii This Week’s Dispatch Molokai Charity Walk Raises Record Total Pg. 2 Dancing With Purpose Pg. 2 Dancing With the Winds Island shared their talents and traditions with hundreds of attendees at last Saturday’s ho`olaulea event held at Lanikeha in Ho`olehua. As festival-goers browsed Molokai vendors and food booths, they were serenaded by local musicians and performances by Hawaiian immersion students. Through ancient Hawaiian hula, oli and mo`olelo, attendees were immersed in Hawaiian culture and the celebration of hula’s origins during the three-day event. “Here we are on Molokai where, according to our traditions, hula began,” said Ryder. “If you look at the island chain Molokai is the piko. It’s the center. It connects all the islands. Ka Hula Piko acknowledges those progenitors that kept records of the past, preserved it thorough hula and oral chant traditions and handed it down through generations.” According to legend, hula was born on a sacred hill at Ka`ana, and the art of the dance was later spread throughout Hawaii by the goddess Laka. “We honor Molokai as the birthplace of hula, however we understand Laka did travel to the other islands and that every island has their own rich traditions,” said Dion Dizon, alaka`i for Hula Halau Kukunaokala and volunteer organizer. “By inviting kumu Tante’s at Hotel Molokai By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief Almost two years after the kitchen at Hotel Molokai was burned in a devastating fire, the restaurant and bar is seeking a fresh start with new management, and reconstruction is anticipated to begin next month. Tante’s Island Cuisine, a familyoperated restaurant on Maui, took over management of the former Hula Shores Bar on April 15, in partnership with a Molokai family. Owner Tante Urban said with a motto of “good service, good food and good price,” he looks forward to serving hotel guests and locals alike. Husband and wife Clint and Starlet Luczon Joao and Starlet’s sister Natalie Luczon are assisting with management of the bar and restaurant, now known as Tante’s at Hotel Molokai. Starlet called the new arrangement “a family affair,” and the three said they are happy for this opportunity to return home after living off-island. “I’m excited about this partnership,” said Hotel Molokai General Manager Michael Drew. “It is a great fit for hula from other islands… [Ka Hula Piko provides] a broad experience for the general public in terms of educating people.” Ka Hula Piko -- founded by the late Kumu Hula John Kaimikaua in 1991, whose ohana is from Molokai -- kicked off this year with a cultural excursion to Ka`ana and a series of lectures from esteemed kumu hula on Thursday and Friday. On Thursday, Molokai’s Anake Opu`ulani Albino shared personal anec- Ka Hula Piko pg. 3 Be Hurricane Ready By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief B Left to right, Natalie Luczon, Tante Urban, Starlet and Clint Luczon Joao.

He said he hopes construction will start by June 1, and anticipates completion will take about eight months. Tante’s Continued pg. 3 ased on statistics, this year’s hurricane season beginning in June brings extra cause to be well-prepared for the worst, according to weather experts. 2014 is an El Nino year, said Mike Cantin of the National Weather Service, Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu. El Nino conditions are caused by abnormally warm water near the equator, where hurricanes typically form, and that -- statistically speaking -- brings a greater likelihood of tropical cyclones, according to Cantin. “You have a whole generation of people who grew up on Molokai who have never experienced a hurricane and have no idea what it is,” explained Cantin on a trip to Molokai last month. “There’s no set pattern to when these things happen and we need to be prepared every year.” Hurricane Continued pg. 3 Why I Fly with Makani Kai. “I had to fly to Oahu on a semi emergency and Makani Kai was full. It cost me $150 to fly on another airline.” says Carolyn. “I like Makani Kai’s price; it’s hard to beat.” Plus, Carolyn enjoys the comfortable lounge and the fact that she doesn’t have to stand in line. “And no security. That’s a big one.” We’re just doing what we can to make air travel the way it’s supposed to be. $50 FARE, EVERY FLIGHT, EVERY DAY (808) 834-1111 | MakaniKaiAir.com The Molokai Dispatch P.O.

The Charity Walk, held annually around the state, raises money for local nonprofits and charities. More than 200 people from over a dozen organizations participated in this year’s walk from Hotel Molokai to Paddlers Inn and back, a length of about three miles. The turnout, though slightly smaller than last year’s, didn’t hinder the amount of money raised. This year’s walked earned over $4,000 more than last year, according to Laura Echiverri, administrative assistant at MHLA and head organizer of the event. “We thought $62,000 [in 2013] was going to be hard to beat… So we couldn’t believe it when we hit over $66,000,” said Echiverri. Echiverri explained that individuals can choose to raise money for the island as a whole or for a specific organization. Funds raised by local nonprofits benefit their organization exclusively, while money garnered by for-profit businesses goes into a general fund to be allocated to nonprofits all over Maui County. This year’s event also doubled the course walked in previous years. Last year, the walk went one way from Paddlers to Hotel Molokai, causing some confusion about transportation back into town and to vehicles. Echiverri noted that participation was not affected by the decision to increase the length, and that participants did not need to actually walk in the event to help raise money. Of all the organizations and groups that participated, Molokai High School Athletics Department brought in the most money, with an estimated $14,000. “I am so proud,” said Echiverri. “The Molokai Community really stepped up to the challenge.” Both Lanai and Molokai held their charity walks this past Saturday, while Maui will host theirs next Saturday, May 10. The grand total raised for Maui County will be announced in August.

If your answer is “nothing,” you’ve never been to Kealoha Hooper’s ballroom classes on Molokai. While some might view ballroom dancing as old-fashioned or out-dated, Hooper is using ballroom to teach lessons of respect and start conversations about a problem plaguing many of today’s communities: violence and sexual abuse of children. Ballroom dance classes sponsored through Molokai’s Consuelo Foundation, an organization working to prevent child neglect, violence and abuse, and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) are teaching Molokai students more than how to rumba, fox trot and tango. The classes are enriching lives by improving self-confidence, communication, acceptance of others and regard for personal boundaries, said Hooper, a ballroom dance instructor who danced professionally with at Arthur Murray Dance Studios in Portland Oregon. “My overall objective is to teach people about respect,” Hooper said. “The context of respect and how to respect others [and to teach] personal responsibility, that’s the goal for [Consuelo Foundation’s] prevention work.” According to the Foundation, ballroom dancing has been known to teach self-confidence, self-worth and the respect of others. Partners must be considerate and provide counterbalance to dance. The goal of the project is to protect children from sexual abuse and teach them the importance of valuing individual boundaries, using indirect dancing lessons. “I recommend it to everyone, especially adults. It’s a good time to get to know yourself better, gain ownership of your body and it’s fun,” said Tiana Merino, a dance student and homemaker 2 who began classes in November. “The classes teach about respecting your partner no matter who you were dancing with.” In 2012, a study titled “And How Are the Children?” asked communities with a high Native Hawaiian population about the cultural and social conditions of their children and families. When participants conveyed the problem of sexual abuse on Molokai, the Consuelo Foundation partnered with the OHA and Child and Family Services to effect positive change on Molokai. To aid in the mission of childhood sexual abuse, Hooper began the threemonth dance series, now held twice a year, in November 2013. Free classes are offered for keiki ages 7 and up Wednesday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Molokai Youth Center, and for adults ages 14 and up every Thursday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Kalaniana`ole Hall. The dance series has proved popular, with more than 20 students enrolled in the first adult session last year. “When you ballroom dance, you have to make sure [you know] what your responsibility is…and how to gain respect from ourselves and give respect to the person you are dancing with,” Hooper said. Hooper expressed that issues of child sexual abuse are often avoided in conversation on Molokai for fear of damaging family relationships; however he said he hopes the classes will raise awareness and generate discussion. “[The classes] really teach you about respecting your boundaries and respecting your partner’s boundaries,” Merino said. “The hardest change I have seen in myself was letting go… and trusting and respecting my partner to lead me.” For more information or to participate in the ballroom dancing classes, contact Hooper at 646-0134.

Kualapu`u School’s 5K Team Races on Oahu Kualapu`u School News Release The Kualapu`u School 5K team raced against a strong field of Oahu runners in the Honolulu 5K for Kids held on Sunday, April 27. Keahe Ross was the top finisher from Molokai finishing in 25:01 for third place in her age group. The next three Kualapu`u School runners ran the course together finishing within 23 seconds of each other. First in the pack of Kualapu`u runners was Namaka Ross finishing in a time of 28:37, good for 10th in his age division. Close on his heels came Kapili`ula Naehu in a time of 28:59, good for seventh in the girl’s 11-12s. One tick back of Kapili`ula came Nico Wittenberg, who finished in 29 minutes flat. Nico placed eighth in the boy’s 11-12 division. The final runner crossing the finish line for Kualapu`u School was Dyllan Alavazo, who finished in a time of 31:33 earning 15th in his age group. These are all terrific results in light of the depth of the field with more than 600 runners competing, the travel involved, and the late start for the runners who didn’t realize that there was not a start mat this year. For those of you who are unfamiliar with larger race events, customarily electronic timing is used to calculate a runner’s time based upon the difference between the time when the runner crosses the start mat and the time when the runner crosses the finish mat. This type of timing is used to alleviate start line congestion. This year there was not a start mat. Our runners politely started at the back of the field without realizing that there had been a change in timing procedures this year. Roughly a minute went by before our runners cleared the start line. Unfortunately, this minute was not later subtracted from their times; unfortunate, but all in all, a good learning experience. At this time, the team would like to send out a big mahalo to our supporters: Kauwela Kalawe, who loaned the team her car for transportation on Oahu; Gandharva Ross for helping to chaperone the runners; Penny Duvauchelle, Ian Haskins, Ryan Link, and Sue Forbes-Kikukawa for contributing class funds to make the trip possible; Mary Anne Nowakowski, our mainland sponsor; and all of the entry-fee paying adult runners who came to one or more of our races. We could not have done it without you; thank you for your helping us travel to Oahu to race in this year’s 5K for Kids!

Hoops and hijinks are on their way as our very own local challengers, the Molokai All-Stars, take on the Harlem Ambassadors in a comedy basketball show the whole family will enjoy. The Harlem Ambassadors offer a unique brand of Harlem-style basketball, featuring high-flying slam dunks, dazzling ball-handling tricks, hilarious comedy routines, music, dancing and games for the kids. “At our shows, we want the kids to know that they’re part of our team too,” Coach Ladè Majic said. “We invite as many kids as we can to come sit on the bench, have a front row seat during the show, and get involved in all of the fun stuff we do.” “We have assembled a team of highly skilled players made up of people from our community and even a couple of special guests to take on the powerful Ambassadors,” said Chamber President Rob Stephenson. “We invite you to come to the game and bring your family to cheer on our awesome local talent and help bring our community together with this positive and entertaining event.” The Harlem Ambassadors have performed more than 2,400 professional hurricane Continued From pg. 1 Hurricane season runs from June 1 to Nov. 30 annually. There are usually four to five tropical cyclones -- a generic term that can refer to hurricanes, tropical storms or tropical depressions, depending on wind speed -- that form in the Central Pacific on average every year. Not all of those storms make landfall. In El Nino years over the last 40 years, the annual average for tropical cyclones forming is six to seven, said Cantin. That means the chances that one of those storms hitting Hawaii is greater. “It gives us higher odds -- it only takes that one storm [making landfall],” Cantin cautioned. “The last two landfalling hurricanes in Hawaii -- Iwa in 1982 and Iniki in 1992 -- both occurred in El Nino years.” Getting prepared before hurricane season is the most important message, according to Cantin. He suggested building up supplies in your home over time, so everyone doesn’t rush to the store at once when emergencies hit. “The recommendation is for folks to have a week’s worth of food and water,” said Cantin, adding that the rule of thumb is to have one gallon of water per day per person, which can be used for drinking, cooking and sanitation. Keep a supply of non-perishable food on hand; Cantin also advised having a regular, non-electric can opener. Hurricanes bring a “triple threat” -strong, damaging winds; flooding rains; and a storm surge that brings an abnormal rise in ocean, similar to a tsunami, except that it won’t subside until the wind dies down. During Hurricane Iniki, winds peaked over 150 miles per hour, said THE MOLOKA`I CHILDREN SUMMER PAGEANT For boys and girls, 0-10 years old comedy basketball games as fundraising and community entertainment events for non-profit organizations, the U.S. military and community service groups since 1998.

It’s a night filled with laughter, comedy and slam dunks, all to benefit the local community.” Tickets are on sale at Rawlins Chevron, MCFCU and the Molokai High School Office. There are also sponsorship opportunities available for interested businesses, organizations and individuals.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Molokai Chamber of Commerce and the Molokai High School Athletic Department. Cantin. That was strong enough to snap palm trees and shoot 2x4 boards straight through cement walls. In that storm, the high winds caused damage to 80 percent of all structures. Because of those conditions, it’s important to have an emergency hurricane action plan, said Cantin. If your home is in a flood zone, it’s best to leave. Go to a friend or family’s home out of the flood zone. Flooding is number one weather-related killer in tropical cyclones, according to Cantin. The county will also open up shelters during such conditions. If it’s not possible to get to higher ground -- for example, if you live on Molokai’s east end and the road is already flooded, Cantin advises getting into a “substancial structure” such as a reinforced concrete building. If that’s also not possible, the next best thing is to take shelter in an interior room with the most walls between you and the outside, said Cantin. “We usually issue a hurricane ‘watch’ 48 hours in advance, with a ‘warning’ at 36 hours,” explained Cantin. “Isolated areas like Halawa need to make sure they reach a safe zone as early as possible. Folks should not wait until hour 35 to head to where they need to go. Get there early and hunker down.” Cantin said it’s easy to get complacent by thinking that because we haven’t had a hurricane in years, it’s not likely to hit. “We’re due every year for a hurricane,” he said. “They don’t necessarily happen, but never take it for granted. [And if it does happen], the spirit of the people here on Molokai -- the tight knit community -- really helps. Taking care of each other -that’s wonderful to see.” For information on preparedness, visit ready.gov, and for hurricane advisories, stay tuned to Weather.gov/Hawaii.

Don’t be scared! It’s your own body; you need to know everything about it. Check your weight once a week - make sure it’s always at the same time of day (for example, always first thing in the morning), and wear the same clothes every time. Then write it down. You need to keep track of your weight. If you need to lose some weight, then think about it this way: imagine you are holding a glass of water for five minutes. That’s no problem, right? Let’s say 10 minutes - now maybe your arm starts getting tired. How about one hour? Probably you already dropped the glass because your arm and shoulder were hurting so much. Now imagine this extra weight on your own body. Maybe for three months, or six months, maybe for many years. How does your body feel, your joints, your heart?

Francis Francisco from Oahu halau Na Mamo O Ka Liko Maile O Kohala expressed hula’s special connection to the environment during a panel discussion Friday evening. “Hula is the natural environment. Hula is life,” Francisco said. “Unlike any other form or style of dance, hula is our connection to our kupuna, to our present, and to our future.” Cy Bridges said hula incorporates wind and other elements by connecting early protocols with dance movements. “Hula is a dance of environmental kinship,” Bridges explained. “There is a responsibility to know who you are in the environment. The magic is in the practice of hula, and in the practice you understand… your relationship with the environment and kuleana to respect it.” With each passing year, Ka Hula Piko not only celebrates hula but also attracts more guests and businesses that support Molokai’s economy. tante’s Continued From pg. 1 He said patrons will notice no major changes to the layout or location of the dining room and bar, though the bar area will be completed refurbished. In the meantime, the bar continues to be open daily from 4 to 10 p.m., with a bar-side grill menu offered Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4 to 8 p.m. Starlet -- whose management duties focus on public relations, marketing and event coordination -- said they will be adding food and drink specials in the coming weeks. Starlet said they have retained the employees who worked at Hula Shores Bar, with the addition of rehiring a former employee. Urban said once the kitchen reopens, they will be looking to hire 25 to 35 local staff for the dining services. Clint added that even though they are not ready to begin hiring yet, interested applicants can stop by the front office to pick up an application and get started with the interview process. Tante’s - A History of Success Tante’s Island Cuisine, run by Urban and his wife Telly, got its start on Hawaii Island nearly 30 years ago at the Kona Seaside Hotel. About a year and a half ago, the operation moved to the Maui Seaside Hotel, according to Urban. When he heard that the “best restaurant in town” was in the process of being rebuilt, Urban contacted Hotel Molokai’s Beachtree Properties management and got in touch with Drew. With two other candidates interested in managing the restaurant, Urban said they “got lucky” with being awarded the management contract. “Tante stood out as the leading candidate due to his commitment to service and working with the community,” said Drew. “They will bring consistency, will raise the level of service and definitely will serve the community in something they love -- local food.” Urban said the menu at Hotel carrying all that extra weight around with you all the time, and that’s hurting your body. When you start losing weight you will have so much more energy. You will feel lighter, younger, and much happier. Make sure you do your workout every day! This will also help you think much more about what you’re eating, so your diet will improve too. Your body is made for moving -be grateful and thankful for what you have, you have legs, you have arms. Focus on what you can do, don’t waste any energy on thinking about what you can’t do. Do your best every day, and always remember, just take it one day at a time. Go for a walk, and maybe while you’re walking you can move your arms. And keep smiling -life is awesome, you are awesome!

It’s really growing.” For local vendors, crafters and artists, it’s a chance to share their merchandise with international buyers. “They’ve timed this perfectly because it’s right when things start to drop off, the snowbirds have left and we need a good economic boost,” said Ani Van Eps, of Ani Van Eps Fine Art, who has been a vendor at the event for a decade. Van Eps, who knew Kaimikaua, added that Ka Hula Piko honors him well. “He wanted to spread aloha throughout the world and he did by bringing people here for [Ka Hula Piko] and teaching them about hula, the culture and the sacredness of it,” she said. For many, the annual event offers an opportunity to honor the past. “If we’re able to bring hula back to the very beginning, to the basics, that’s where we maintain gratitude and appreciation for how far hula has come,” said Dizon. “Never forgetting where you come from is important.” Molokai will be similar to Tante’s on Maui -- a fusion of local, Filipino, Asian, seafood, steak and continental dishes. He said he plans to work with Molokai food producers, farmers and fishermen to feature local ingredients as much as possible. Molokai food producers interested in supplying the restaurant can contact Clint, who will handle inventory and accounting, at (808) 250-6076, or Urban at (808) 640-0193. Family Homecoming For Starlet, Clint and Natalie, management of Tante’s at Hotel Molokai has afforded them the opportunity to return home to Molokai. Starlet and Clint had been living on Maui for the past three years, where Starlet worked as a server at Tante’s, and Clint provided Tante’s guests with regular music and entertainment. Natalie was living on Oahu for the last eight years, working as a server at a Waikiki restaurant. Natalie -- who will serve as the dining and bar manager -- is especially excited to continue and foster the world-renowned Kupuna Night at Hotel Molokai every Friday evening from 4 to 6 p.m. “This is the kind of environment [on Molokai] I wanted to work in,” said Natalie. “As a hula dancer, I love Hawaiian music… working in Waikiki, it’s so commercialized. Here, there’s genuine Hawaiian music and a breathtaking view.” Starlet said she looks forward to hosting community events, parties, hula, concerts, and most of all, “sharing the underground talents on Molokai.” She asks local entertainers “ages 0 to 100” to contact her if they’d like to fill Hotel Molokai’s intimate stage. In the meantime, Urban said he’s grateful to Drew and Beachtree for giving them this opportunity, and the trio is thrilled to be a part of the operation. “We’re happy to be home,” said Starlet. “We always wanted to come back and serve the community here. We’re thankful to be given the opportunity to do that. It’s a great, new start for us and be together again.” The Molokai Dispatch • May 7, 2014 • 4 STOP & GO!

Paul Towers from Pesticide Action Network will be speaking as well, presenting an overview of pesticide use nationally and internationally and the significant role that Hawaii plays as ground zero for open-air pesticide experimentation. The Molokai event will be held on Friday, May 16 at 6 p.m. at the Molokai Community Health Center. Other special guests will include Lorrin Pang, M.D. of the Hawaii Department of Health and Jeri Di Pietro, president of Hawaii SEED. Dr. Hayes is best known for his research findings that Swiss Chemical Company Syngenta’s herbicide atrazine is an endocrine disruptor that not only demasculinizes male frogs but transforms them into fully functioning reproductive females. Dr. Hayes is also an advocate for critical review and regulation of pesticides and other chemicals that may cause adverse health effects. Dr. Hayes has presented hundreds of papers, talks, and seminars on the role of environmental chemical contaminants in global amphibian declines and in the health disparities that occur in minority and lowincome populations. Despite his research being contested by Syngenta, it was used as the basis for the settlement of a multimillion-dollar class ac- tion lawsuit against them. According to the lead plaintiff’s lawyer Stephen M. Tillery, “Science has been fighting an uphill battle against giant pesticide manufacturers like Syngenta who claim that a little weed killer in your drinking water won’t hurt you. Independent scientists now believe that even trace amounts can harm you and your children for generations to come.” According to Joy Shih, a doctoral candidate at the University of Hawaii’s School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, “the chemical poses a particular threat in Hawaii because of the islands’ geography.” She thinks atrazine should be banned. “I think of Hawaii as one giant watershed,” she said. “There is no inland, from the tops of the mountains, everything flows into the ocean. So anything that you apply that is water soluble ends up in the ocean. Fish are definitely affected and coral is affected.” Shih said that studies show that atrazine causes coral bleaching and harms phytoplankton, which rest at the bottom of the aquatic food chain. According to Pesticide Action Network, there are many viable ways of producing corn and growing food without relying on atrazine. Healthy, resilient farming systems can grow food to feed Hawaii, without the use of hazardous pesticides. Syngenta, which is based in Basel, sells more than fourteen billion dollars’ worth of seeds and pesticides a year and funds research at some four hundred academic institutions around the world.

Community Contributed Protect Your Home From Brush Fire By Denise Laitinen Because the top three causes of brush fire in Hawaii are human-caused -- arson, fireworks and human error -it’s crucial that folks do what they can to protect their property from brush fires. Fortunately, the national Firewise Communities program offers free and easy suggestions Molokai residents can take to reduce their risk to brush fire. With Molokai’s history of large brushfires, and recent case of intentionally-set fires in Kalama`ula, it is especially important to always be ready to protect your property from fire. “Firewise teaches people how to prepare for a fire before it occurs,” said Denise Laitinen, the Hawaii Firewise Communities Coordinator. A key part of Firewise landscaping is creating defensible space around your property. “It’s about being lean, clean, and green,” said Laitinen. By reducing the amount of flammable vegetation around your home, you reduce the risk of flames igniting the house in the first place. “Creating a buffer zone of 30 feet of defensible space around your property will help reduce your risk to wildfire. Even if you only have 5 or 10 feet of yard, you can still be Firewise.” To create defensible space, prune shrubs and trees so the lowest branches are 6 to 10 feet off the ground to prevent fire traveling from the ground to the treetops. Ideally, trees should be spaced ten feet apart in the yard. Make sure plants closest to the house are low to the ground. Remove dead leaves and plant material from around your home. After you prune, don’t dump your green waste in a corner of the yard or over your back fence. It’s a fire hazard and an invitation for critters to set up home. Look to see where dead leaves collect or land by the wind and make sure you rake or clean these areas regularly. Fire brands can travel up to a mile in windy conditions. A firebrand from burning trash or a brush fire carried by the wind could land in the same area that leaves collect, enabling a fire to smolder or grow. Plant vegetation with a high-moisture content or plants native to your area. Clear away flammable plants that contain oily resins, such as eucyclyptus or silver oak. Fountain grass and bunch grass are high-intensity fuels that can help spread fire quickly. Kiawe trees are known carriers of fire brands. Incidentally, most native plants that once occurred in the lowland and coastal leeward areas do not carry fire well and are thus well-suited for fire-safe landscaping and fuel breaks. Low-growing endemic shrubs, such as `ilima papa and the rare `ohai and ko`oloa`ula are ideal for coastal locations. For more information on how you can make your home Firewise, contact the Hawaii Firewise Communities Coordinator at (808) 281-3497 or by email at firewisehawaii@yahoo.com.

Community News The Molokai Dispatch • May 7, 2014 • Maui County Festival Accepting Applications County of Maui News Release The inaugural “Made in Maui County” Festival will be held November 7 and 8 at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center in Kahului, the Mayor’s Office of Economic Development announced. Approximately 6,000 to 8,000 residents and visitors are anticipated to attend the event, which will showcase a wide variety of made-in-Maui County products, including foods, produce, art, crafts, jewelry, fashion, gifts, collectibles and more in one location. Planning for the first-ever festival is in full swing with vendor applications and sponsorship forms now being accepted on the event’s official website, MadeIn- MauiCountyFestival.com. The event is being presented by the Mayor’s Office of Economic Development in partnership with the Maui Chamber of Commerce. “This new festival will benefit our local economy in many ways,” said Mayor Alan Arakawa. “Besides giving local merchants the chance to showcase and sell their locally produced items, it stimulates our economy as a whole by bringing in interested shoppers to our island. In other words, everyone benefits both directly and indirectly from the festival.” Vendors must be based in Maui County and feature a minimum of 51 percent, value-added in Hawaii. Booth space will be assigned based on type of product and on a first-come, first-served basis. Vendor applications can be downloaded from MadeInMauiCountyFestival.com; click on “Vendors” button. Sponsorship opportunities are another way for companies to show their support of Maui County’s entrepreneurs and their products while increasing visibility for their own business. To receive a Sponsor Packet, click on the “Sponsors” button on the festival website. Patterned after the successful “Made In Hawaii” Festival, this new Maui County event offers greater opportunities for local businesses from Maui, Molokai and Lanai 8 to participate. “Not all businesses can afford to go to Oahu for the ‘Made In Hawaii’ festival,” said Teena Rasmussen, Director of the Mayor’s Office of Economic Development. “Costs for transportation, accommodations and staffing can quickly add up. That’s why this new event was created to make it more affordable and convenient for our local businesses to showcase their products right here at home.” For more information, visit MadeInMauiCountyFestival.com, email info@MadeInMauiCountyFestival.com or call (808) 244-0081.

By 1926 the wolves had all but vanished. In the following decades, elk herds grew unnaturally big, no longer hunted by their natural predator. The elk decimated the berry bushes of Yellowstone, eating the wild fruit with such voracity that grizzly bears and many other species went hungry. In 1995, environmentalists and conservationists got clearance to re-introduce wolves to the area. Now the berry bushes are flourishing again. Grizzlies are thriving, as are other mammals that had been deprived. I regard this vignette as an allegory for your life in the coming months, Libra. It’s time to do the equivalent of replenishing the wolf population. Correct the imbalance. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fireworks displays excite the eyes and lift the spirit. But the smoke and dust they produce can harm the lungs with residues of heavy metals. The toxic chemicals they release may pollute streams and lakes and even groundwater. So is there any alternative? Not yet. No one has come up with a more benign variety of fireworks. But if it happens soon, I bet it will be due to the efforts of an enterprising Aries researcher.

When you go to the doctor, you’re always hoping for a clean bill of health. But why do we use that expression? The term has its roots in the Navy. A bill of health is a document a ship provides to port cities, according to Naval history and heritage command. It is proof that sailors are not suffering any epidemic or infection. The document is often unnecessary when travelling between domestic ports, according to the manual for the Medical Department of the U.S. Navy; however, one is needed when sailing to a foreign port. Information required when applying for a bill of health includes the vessel’s name, number of people aboard, captain’s name and destination. The Navy is still required to provide a document stating the health of a ship’s personnel to foreign ports, according to a spokeswoman from the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. Now I’d like to tell you about a holiday that few Americans may be aware of. Armed Forces Day was first celebrated on Saturday, May 20, 1950 by presidential proclamation. Also, Armed Forces Week begins on the second Saturday of May and ends on the third Sunday of May. Both holidays are celebrated annually. In 1950 for the first Armed Forces Day, 10,000 troops and veterans marched past the President in Washington D.C. An estimated 33,000 participants initiated the day in New York City. On May 17, 1952, the New York Times wrote, “This is the day on which we have the welcome opportunity to pay special tribute to the men and women of the armed forces and let them know that we hold them in exceptional esteem.” We need to be more conscious of our debt of honored affection, and show them how much we think of them. So let us all mark May 20 on our calendar and not forget Armed Forces Day. See if you can correctly answer this question: Where in the Pacific were the Sandwich Islands? The answer will be in the next column. Memorial Day is on Monday, May 26, so let us not forget to pay homage to those brave Americans who gave their last full measure of devotion so we are able to live as free Americans, something every American should be very proud of. Also, let us not forget our military personnel stationed around the world, especially those men and women in harm’s way. For all they do for us, we send them a big mahalo and to our veterans for all they have done, and the people of Molokai for all the support you have always given them. If old Jesse can help you in any way please give me a call, or if you have something for the column. I hope everyone has a terrific week and remember that old Jesse loves you all dearly. Give me a call at 553-3323. Until next time, mahalo to all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai. 3b/2b home close to town Off main highway back from road on a large lot. Nice views. $385,000.

The excessive use of pesticides is one of the biggest concerns in Hawaii seed corn production today, and puts field workers at risk due to long-term exposure to pesticide-treated fields and pesticide-impregnated dust. Because seed corn is not an edible crop, a wide array of pesticides can be used, even in combinations. Quoting from a definitive book on Corn Production in Hawaii, UH corn breeder Jim Brewbaker stated that “Even the most superior hybrids from the U.S. Corn Belt perform poorly in the tropics…its tropical yields are very low without excessive use of fungicides and insecticides.” After a six-month review and discussion triggered by the seed corn pesticide issue on Kauai, the State Environmental Council created a seven-point resolution urging the state to take action on the seed corn pesticide issue. Resolutions can be viewed at prlog.org/12296496-hawaii- environmental-council-calls-for-morepesticide-investigation-and-enforcement. html. The State Legislature has a responsibility of upholding the State Constitution to “conserve and protect Hawaii’s natural beauty and all natural resources, including land, water, air, minerals, and energy resources…” Generations of Molokai residents have been exposed to large scale pesticide use, and the present issue just adds more layers to a big problem. Recent pesticide drift into Kualapu`u town earlier this year is just a sign of things to come. Comparing organic pesticides to conventional pesticides, some of which were developed during World War II and are still being used, shows that these companies are not serious about addressing the pesticide issue. The health and welfare of the community, including its field workers, and also impacts on our island environment, must come first. Glenn I. Teves Ho`olehua The Molokai Dispatch • May 7, 2014 • Scholarship to `Iolani `Aukai Keli`ihelekuau Peter O’Sullivan, a sixth grader at Kualapu’u School, has recently been awarded a $16,100 scholarship to attend `Iolani School, one of the top private schools in Hawaii. For new incoming seventh graders, `Iolani selects only 50 new students a year in the state for this grade level which making it one of the most competitive schools in Hawaii. In late last year, `Aukai had applied to three of the top private schools for academics and received admission to all. He had a very tough decision to make and in the end found `Iolani School most suitable to his talents and interests. With a lot of hard work and dedication, he is excited to start his new journey in life through a rigorous and challenging school schedule. He would like to pursue basketball, swimming, tennis, track and field as well as hula, math team, and maybe some acting or drama classes. `Aukai and his family will be moving to Oahu to pursue his education as well as the education for his brothers and sisters, also allowing a chance to extend the family home business. We would like to thank all of his teachers for aiding him over the past seven years: 11 Mrs. Maioho, Mrs. Kiyan, Ms. Hernandez, Ms. Iaea, Ms. Abraham, Mrs. Haase, Mrs. Forbes and currently Mrs. Link, as well as all of the staff at Kualapu`u School. We would also like to thank Kumu Kanoelani Davis with Ka Pa Hula `O Hina I Ka Po La`ila`i, and swim Coaches Jessica Kalawe-Oswald and Coach Jesse with Molokai Dolphins Swim Club for always offering support, guidance and discipline. We love you ‘Aukai and are so proud of you. Madela `Ohana MHS Athletics Clarifications Theft on Molokai Molokai Athletics sends out a big mahalo to everyone that supports our athletic programs.
