hrough a swish of hips, gestures
of graceful hands, shake of the
`uli `uli and toss of flaming torches, attendees of Moana’s Hula Halau’s
annual dinner show were treated to
a journey of the elements and senses
through hula and Polynesian arts. After the evening of first-class live music
and entertainment, the full house of
guests offered a standing ovation Saturday at the Molokai Community Health
Center. Featuring Tahitian, traditional
and modern dances, as well as special
guests from Maui with fire and haka
performances under the canopy of the
banyan tree, the show was both impressive and emotional for many.
The event commemorated the life
of Moana Dudoit, who died last March
after running the halau for over 40
years. Several solo dances throughout
the evening were tenderly dedicated
to her memory.
I
sland Air will discontinue service
to Molokai after April 1. In a fivesentence announcement last week,
the airline said all Molokai-based employees will be offered the opportunity to transfer elsewhere within the
company. Customers with confirmed
reservations to or from the island after
April 1 can either transfer their ticket
to another airline or receive a refund.
Meanwhile, Hawaiian Airlines’
neighbor island service `Ohana by Hawaiian has announced its plans to begin
flying to Molokai starting March 11.
“Now that we are certain the island
of Molokai will have adequate air service
to match its needs, we have decided to
redeploy our aircraft to another route that
needs more capacity,” Island Air CEO
Paul Casey told the Dispatch via email.
“The only thing constant in this business
is change. And we wanted to make sure
that the residents of Molokai had adequate service before making any changes
to our routes.”
He said the company currently has
eight full-time and seven part-time employees based on Molokai, the longest of
whom has worked for the company more
than 25 years.
Reactions to Island Air’s announcement have been mixed.
Some Molokai residents call it good
riddance. The airline has been operating
only two flights daily to Molokai since
November, while redirecting five flights
daily to Lanai. The carrier has also become infamous for delayed flights, which
caused some customers to avoid the airline altogether.
“Aunty Moana started this halau
with just a few family members,” said
Zhantell Dudoit, emcee of the event.
“It eventually incorporated everyone
from age 2 to 90 who wanted to dance
free of charge, taking us all over the
world to share our special land of
Molokai aloha to the people of all corners of the earth.”
The night’s proceeds will go towards traveling to Kona for the Merrie Monarch Festival in 2015 where the
wahine groups will compete among
the top hula halau across the globe.
Zhantell said the halau hopes to raise
approximately $40,000 by next year to
represent Molokai at the festival.
“We are so thankful for your contributions to carry on that legacy and
the Hawaiian culture,” said Zhantell.

Collecting Molokai’s Metals
By Jessica Ahles | Staff Writer
A
s your car deteriorates on Molokai’s rugged roads, and outdated
appliances are replaced with
newer models, you may find an assembly
of rusted-out materials decorating your
yard. But if you find yourself going mad
over your metal collection, there is now
a group you can call to gather your junk
cars, appliances and mixed metals.
Refrigerant Recycling Inc. (RRI) is
here to serve Molokai for the next three
years. The Oahu-based recycling and
refurbishing company is working handin-hand with Maui County, dedicated to
help make metal disposal less of a headache for the community.
“We’re holding a community workday to go around helping rural parts of
the island and to assist people who need
help with recycling their items,” said
Molokai-born RRI project manager Mike
Diorec.
With the help of Molokai-Naiwa
Landfill personnel and Maui-based nonprofit Community Work Day Program
volunteers, RRI kick-started a series of
“Metal Round-Up” events last weekend.

The round-ups are a county-funded project traveling across the island to pick up
metal materials in rural areas at no cost
to the public.
Last Thursday through Saturday,
RRI set up drop-off locations in Halawa
Valley, Maurice Point and Waialua to
provide convenient access to locals and
respond to house calls requesting assistance with material pick-up.

Why we fly
with Makani Kai
“I’m the kind of person who likes to show up ten minutes before
the plane leaves,” says Tarah Horner. “You can’t do that with the
other guys.” But you sure can with Makani Kai Air. That’s one of
the reasons why Tarah and her husband Noa are regulars with
Makani Kai. “It’s convenient and the price is right.” And we like
Tarah because she brings us cookies.

landfill, especially with the current gas
prices,” said Alan Domingo, RRI working foreman. “So when we have these
events every three or four months, I
think it could be a big help to them.”
Over three days, Domingo and fellow workers collected old appliances,
tires, car batteries, propane tanks and
scrap metal, filling three, 30-yard containers to the brim. Some residents made
multiple drop-offs in one day, depositing
years’ worth of lawn mowers, engines,
and miscellaneous parts.
“It’s a good service and something
good for the island,” said Chuck Miguel,
a retired construction worker, utilizing
RRI’s pick-up service to get rid of some
of his scrap metals in Waialua Saturday
morning. “But if you clean it, keep it
clean.”
The event will continue moving towards the west end in the coming weeks.

at this event such as vehicles and furniture, you may call 351-3504 to schedule
a pick-up for a fee based on the size of

Metals Facility Back in
Business
While the series of metal pick-up
events provides a more convenient way
to recycle metals, Diorec said he understands several annual pick-up events is
not enough to keep the island clean.
In 2009, the Molokai Metals Recycling Facility, located at the MolokaiNaiwa Landfill, closed after reaching
capacity, according to the county’s Abandoned Vehicles and Metals Administrator at the time, Patience Gaia. After the
metals recycling program slowed and
was no longer cost-effective, the county
“resorted to a collection event” in 2010,
said Gaia in a 2011 interview.
With nowhere to dispose of unwanted materials, frustrations arose
when the community had to wait for one
of the collection events to open each year
to haul their metal rubbish to the landfill.
“Being a resident on Molokai, I felt
a lot of the pain the community was go-
The Molokai Dispatch • Feb 26, 2014 •
ing through,” said Diorec. “That was one
of the first things I told the county--we
can’t do it on just the collection events.”
All of that changed as of last year,
when the county Department of Environmental Services Solid Waste Division
and RRI agreed on a three-year contract
to provide an on-going metals recycling
program for the Molokai community.
In August 2013, the Molokai Metals
Recycling Facility opened full-time under the supervision of several Refrigerant Recycling crewmembers. Following
the regular hours of the landfill, the metals facility is open for drop-offs Tuesday
to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
The reopened facility has already
been well-used. According to Dioec, his
crew collected approximately 1,000 tons
of materials from September through
December alone.
“For a small, rural community,
that’s a lot of tonnage,” said Diorec. “It
shows that people are sitting on these
material for ages and an ongoing, collective program is a needed service, especially on Molokai.”
Moving Materials
Diorec said metal materials travel
near and far and go through various
breakdown processes before ending in
their final destinations.
Recycled AC and refrigerator units
contain hazardous fuels that needs to
be recycled to one area in the mainland,
said Diorec. Vehicle gas, tires and solvents move to Honolulu, and batteries
are sent to business partners on Maui,
where they are reused, recycled or incinerated.
After all hazardous fluids are removed from a vehicle, they are crushed
into 4-foot-by-8-foot bails and transported to Oahu, where they’re shredded and
shipped to processing plants in China,
Korea, Turkey or other major metal industrial countries.
In the future, Diorec said Refridgerant Recycling Inc. pictures giving back to
the community with some of the funds
acquired from their recycled metals, putting a larger focus on cleaning up homestead land, and perhaps receiving an additional three years through the county
after the current contract ends in 2016.
“That way, we can help get your
land clean and educate of our younger
generations on the importance of recycling,” said Diorec.

Winning Values from the
Wrestling Mat
By Jessica Ahles | Staff Writer
T
hough the Molokai Middle School
wrestling program has only competed for two years, young athletes walked away with some big titles
by the end of this season’s program.
Rather than skill, Coach Benny Venenciano attributes their two, first-place
tournament wins to passion and soul.
“When you have the will, the beauty
of this sport is the balance of taking care of
yourself physically and mentally, and doing your schoolwork,” said Venenciano.
“At this developmental age, I wanted wrestling to be that sport for them.”
During the winter season, 19 athletes
wrestled after school and about half had no
prior wrestling experience, according to Venenciano. Three days a week, they would
practice alongside the high school team for
two hours, conditioning for competition as
well as their future in the Farmers wrestling
program.
In the first of three competitions this
season, Molokai Middle School (MMS)
placed second in Lahaina due to a low
number of wrestlers at the start of the season, according to Kelly Ka`awa-Richardson, MMS student activities coordinator.
In January, the athletes traveled to
Oahu to compete against several private
and public intermediate schools, placing
first. They went on to also win the state
tournament at Maui’s Baldwin gym, where
10 of 19 athletes competed in the finals, taking home the trophy.
“There’s a difference between the
2
competition they go against,” said assistant
coach Bill Umi. “Other teams compete year
round…so going into it, they’re hungry to
compete and to win.”
Umi said this season’s success largely
had to do with Venenciano’s wrestling expertise and skill. As a MHS alumni, Venenciano’s roots are grounded with the Farmers wrestling program. Part of the 1987
team, both Venenciano and his twin brother
were two of the first Molokai wrestlers to
win the state championships.
While his experience includes a championship title, his coaching uses a humble
philosophy.
“All my life, I considered losing as a
value gained,” said Venenciano. “Losing
is okay if one’s trying their best. As long
as they go out there, perform and try their
best, that’s a win.”
His approach hasn’t only been successful on the mat; it has also grabbed attention in school.
“The kids’ maturity level has risen
greatly,” said Ka`awa-Richardson. “The
values they’re learning apply elsewhere
and that’s been the most impressive—to
see that cross-over.”
Though the regular season is over, Venenciano is planning an on-island tournament, bringing teams across the state and
from the mainland to compete in the Barn
this spring. He encourages kids to come out
for the program next season.
“Take a chance!” said Venenciano.
“These kids faced their fears and I believe
every student should have this experience
to benefit themselves and their futures.”
Lions Roar: Vision
Screenings
Molokai Lions Club News Release
February was a big month for vision screening on Molokai. On Feb. 3-4,
the Molokai Lions Club did their yearly
school vision screening. Lion volunteers
along with Doctors Karsten Lee and Carlys Higuchi from Maui Optix screened
395 children in four elementary schools
and four preschools. Twelve children were
found to have a possible problem and the
school health aid will refer that finding to
the parent.
This service has been going strong for
many years and it’s been enhanced in the
last several years with the help of the Maui
doctors. Your support of the Lions Annual
Walk for Sight helps the club defray the air
cost for the doctors. They volunteer their
time away from their Maui practice.
The Big Bus was in town the first of
February as well. Project Vision Hawaii
brought their Vision Van to Molokai Feb.
5-9. The van’s visit is sponsored and scheduled by the Molokai Lions Club. The van’s
mission is to provide a comprehensive vision screening, free of charge, to any and all
who visit the various sites.
This year, Lions were able to schedule
the van at two of the island’s largest employers, Mycogen Seeds and Monsanto. At
these sites volunteers were able to screen
more than 100 people. Over the five days,
members screened 335 people.
Special thanks goes out to Lyndon
Dela Cruz and Makoa Trucking for their
help. Lyndon volunteered to move the van
wherever we needed it and Makoa Trucking provided movement on and off Young
Brothers barge as well as providing secure
storage when the Van was not in use. Their
help was instrumental in the success of the
visit. The administrators at Project Vision
were very pleased with the visit to Molokai
and plan to return as long as there is a need
on our island.

Historic Preservation Class
Historic Hawaii Foundation News
Release
Historic Hawaii Foundation, in partnership with the Hawaii State Historic
Preservation Division, will offer a community seminar on Historic Preservation
Basics on Kauai, Lanai, Molokai and Maui
between March and June of 2014.
The Molokai event is on Saturday,
May 17 at the Kulana `Oiwi Halau from 9
a.m. to noon.
The seminar will provide an overview
of preservation essentials in the context of
each island community. The three-hour
class will include topics such as what is historic preservation and why does it matter,
standards and framework: how does this
all work, and historic preservation and the
island air
Continued From pg. 1
One Molokai Dispatch Facebook commenter called his recent trip between Oahu
and Molokai on Island Air “horrific,” recounting long waits and an unplanned
stop to Lanai.
For others, it means one less flight
option to Oahu on larger aircraft. Those
requiring wheelchair accessibility or those
exceeding 350 pounds in weight cannot fly
Mokulele or Makani Kai’s snug, nine-seat
planes. Even with `Ohana beginning service soon, it leaves Molokai residents with
even fewer flight options.
And for some, Island Air’s announcement could mean the loss of their jobs.
local community.
The seminar is appropriate for members of the community interested in preserving Hawaii’s historic and cultural
places, including historic preservation
review commissioners; cultural resource
commissioners; planning commissioners;
planning department staff; elected officials;
local preservation organizations; community members involved with preservation
issues; and planners, architects, land owners and contractors whose work may affect
historic sites. The seminar has been submitted for approval of 2 AICP CM credits and
for 2 AIA credits.
Pre-registration is required. Information and online registration is available at
historichawaii.org
Local employees said they were not
permitted to speak to the press.
Another Facebook commenter said
his neighbor is an employee of the company.
“Now my neighbor is not only going
to have find another job, but also figure out
how to get health insurance for his family
of five,” he wrote. “And that they give very
loyal, long-term employees such short notice sucks.”
Casey did not specify when asked the
date Molokai employees were notified of
the change, but said it was before the public
announcement was made and before other
Island Air employees were told.
Island Air instructs customers with existing reservations after April 1 to call 1-800388-1105, or submit an inquiry through the
company’s website at IslandAir.com.

Boys Basketball Ends
Season in Fourth
By Jessica Ahles | Staff Writer
E
ntering the boys basketball season, coach Carl Adolpho Jr. called
the year a building period. Two
weeks ago, the boys ended their season
earning fourth place at Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) Championships.
“We thought we could do better, but it
was a good experience for me as a first-year
coach and for the team,” said Adolpho.
After coming close to beating Seabury
in the regular season—sometimes, just a
few points away from victory -- Adolpho
said the team was excited to get a chance
to play them again in their first match-up of
the MIL championship.
However, tournament ended for the
Farmers in a 35-58 upset that Thursday.
Adolpho said while making shots was the
team’s difficulty during the game, they
greatly improved on their turnovers and
passing by the end of the season.
“They put the effort in [during practice], getting a grasp on the plays and understanding the fundamentals of the game,” he
said. “…They needed to understand it and
in the future, they will improve.”
Salad Dressing Reunion
3
By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief
Y
oung Molokai entrepreneur Elijah Kaneshiro, now 20, created a
recipe for salad dressing when he
was eight. At 10, he went into commercial
business, marketing his product at Outpost Natural Foods, Bamboo Pantry (now
closed) and by special order.
That’s how part-time Molokai residents Donald and Joanna Sunshine know
Elijah. Donald recounts their meeting in his
book “Life’s Moments,” describing with
humor how Joanna began talking with the
10-year-old, who he describes as personable, smart and articulate. Donald writes
that he assumes Elijah has sold many bottles to such endeared and unsuspecting
ladies. The story ends with Joanna buying
three of Elijah’s $20 bottles of salad dressing, much to Donald’s adoring annoyance
(he concludes by admitting the dressing is
pretty good).
But the story doesn’t end there. Elijah,
having finished high school, moved to the
mainland and then to Oahu, where he got
his pilot’s license. In January of 2013, he
traveled to Bolivia, planning to work as a
mission pilot.
“But they didn’t have planes,” explains Elijah, “and you can’t be a pilot without planes.”
So instead, he taught English to Spanish-speaking students, knowing only a few
words of Spanish himself. He described the
experience as a challenge, navigating the
language barriers.
In October, he returned to Oahu and
worked for UPS. A few weeks ago, he came
home to Molokai for a visit.
In the meantime, Elijah’s mother,
Brenda, had read Donald’s book and the
story of the meeting over salad dressing.
When he got home, she encouraged Elijah
to call Donald and Joanna. He looked for
their number in Virginia, where they spend
half the year, but finally tracked them down
on Molokai.
Joanna answered the phone. She
couldn’t believe who was on the line.
“Stop what you’re doing and pick up
the phone,” she called to Donald. “This is
Elijah who made the salad dressing.”
Ten years after their first meeting,
Donald, Joanna and Elijah arranged a reunion and sat down to chat on Molokai.
“It was wonderful to hear from him,”
says Joanna.
True to Donald’s suspicions, Elijah
says he had many such interactions while
selling his products and doesn’t remember
their original encounter. But the reunion
went as naturally as their meeting, and they
enjoyed a conversation outsiders would
have thought was between old friends.
Elijah recalls his labor-intensive business, peeling 250 cloves of garlic by hand
per batch of salad dressing. He says he
slowed down by age 16, but hopes to get
back into the business someday.
But he’s currently preoccupied with
another goal. He’s working toward his
commercial pilot’s license and is thinking
of buying a small plane with a friend. As
an entrepreneur, he’s already thought of
ways to make his plan financially feasible.
He says he’s eventually hoping to work for
a local airline.
Having started a popular business
at age 10, the Sunshines say they have no
doubt he’ll be successful no matter what.
Sixth Graders Offer
Meaningful Messages
By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief
W
ith messages like “stop bullying,” “stay safe and healthy,”
“don’t do drugs,” “avoid peer
pressure” and “don’t litter,” Kaunakakai School sixth graders created public
service announcement (PSA) videos
with a mix of humor and seriousness.
They hope their messages will create a
healthier community through educating the public to make better choices.
The PSAs were written and acted by
student groups, with assistance from teachers and filmed and edited by Daniel Emhoff
from Akaku. The short films premiered before family, friends and community members earlier this month, and will also air on
Akaku’s public access TV channels.
“I am proud of the way you have
come together as a class to identify the
important issues affecting Molokai and
working together to find solutions,” wrote
Council Member Stacy Helm Crivello in a
message to the students. “Your concern for
the future of Molokai is truly inspiring and
spurs me to do the best job for Molokai.”
The PSAs were created through a
Kamehameha Schools program called
Kali`imamo, which focuses on speaking
and listening skills, said Lauren Kikukawa,

a Kamehameha Schools Literacy and Instruction Support teacher at Kaunakakai
School. Kali`imamo was originally designed as an after-school program, and this
year, Kaunakakai was one of three schools
in the state to pilot it in-school, Kikukawa
said.
“Using the Project Based Learning
model helps students learn to realize they
belong to a community, whether it be home,
school, or our island and take the responsibility to make a change,” she explained, via
email.
Students began working on the PSA
project last year when they identified community issues, created and conducted a
survey and wrote reports based on the data
they obtained, Kikukawa said. They then
decided to make the PSAs to encourage
their community to make better choices,
filming them with Emhoff’s help in December.
Though Crivello could not be present
at the premiere in person, she made sure
each sixth grader was presented with a letter of appreciation on behalf of the County
Council.
“It is with great pride and honor that I
say mahalo… for doing a totally awesome
job,” she wrote.

Biz Award Nominees
County of Maui News Release
Four Molokai business people have
been nominated for the 2014 Mayor’s Small
Business Awards. Suzette Kahana of B&S
Kahana Corp. dba Kalapaki Girl Dezigns,
Tarrah and Noa John Horner of iCandie
and iCopie, and Wailani Tanaka, owner
of Something for Everybody are joining
nearly 30 other Maui County nominees.
Awards, put on by the Mayor’s Office of
Economic Development and Maui Chamber of Commerce, will be announced on
Wenesday, Feb. 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the
King Kamehameha Golf Club’s Waikapu
Ballroom.
“This is an exceptional group of
nominees, and all of them are worthy of an
award,” said Mayor Alan Arakawa. “We
owe a debt of gratitude to all of our small
businesses owners who continue to provide jobs, purchase goods and services, and
strengthen our economic environment.
“Small business is the number one
economic engine in Maui County and we
are fortunate to have so many of them making our economy stronger and more resilient, hence this year’s theme, ‘Strong Businesses, Strong Community.’”
This year, Mayor Arakawa will be giv-
ing out awards in seven categories, including Outstanding Business of the Year in

Pu`unānā Communication Tower Replacement Project
Maui Electric Company would like to inform you that work will soon begin to
refurbish the Maui Electric Communication Tower located at the Pu‘unānā communication tower site on the island of Moloka‘i.
Originally built in 2001, the Pu‘unānā Communication Tower is an integral
component of our system as it allows for us to visually monitor and control our
system via Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) controls. The
existing communication tower is now 12 years old and must be replaced due to
extensive corrosion that causes safety concerns for both the public and for our
workers.
The overall work scope involves removing the existing 100-foot tower and
placing a new 60-foot tower on the same foundation. The work is scheduled to
begin in February 2014 and will be conducted in three phases. The first phase
will involve the installation of a temporary 40-foot tower which will provide the
necessary communications while the existing tower is being re-built. The second
phase involves the disassembling and removing of the existing 100- foot tower.
The third, and final phase, will involve the erection of the new 60-foot tower on
the same foundation as the old tower and disassembling the temporary tower.
The entire project is expected to be complete by summer 2014.
Please contact us if there are any questions or concerns.

Maui County businesses looking to expand, strengthen or diversity have an opportunity to apply for
funding through the Mayor’s Office of
Economic Development (OED). The office is rolling out a program designed
to support Maui, Molokai and Lanai
businesses.
The Economic Development Revolving Fund (EDRF) was created by
the Mayor’s Office and passed by the
Maui County Council in late 2011. The
fund currently has $1 million which, by
ordinance, was designed to strengthen
and diversify the County’s economy;
to support existing County businesses;
to promote job creation; to attract new
business, industry, construction, and
events that will foster economic development in the County; and to improve
the overall economic and social wellbeing of the County.
“This is a visionary program that
could become a catalyst for growth
for many businesses out there,” said
Mayor Alan Arakawa. “By providing
the capital, we provide opportunities
for business to expand and hire new
people and buy more goods and services from our community.”
Although the program met with
Council approval several years ago,
much research was needed to put together the right policies and procedures, as well as creating the proper
4
application process. Councilman Don
Guzman, chairman of the Council’s
Economic Development, Energy, Agriculture and Recreation Committee,
helped to format the program.
The EDRF is designed to give either grants or loans to both for-profit
and nonprofit businesses that have
a strong balance sheet, have established markets that show growth potential, and show strong potential for
creating living wage employment for
Maui County residents. The fund purpose is to assist companies with these
qualifications to expand their business through additional locations, new
equipment, exporting opportunities,
R&D for a demonstrated capability or
product, or to commercialize capability or a new product.
The minimum award that will
be made is $50,000. All applicants
will need to demonstrate a one to one
match in cash. The cash match can
come from a third party grant or loan.
Organizations or businesses that have
other active grants with the County of
Maui are not eligible to apply for this
program.
The program will run year round
until all available funds are pledged.
There is no deadline for applications.
The application and program details
may be found on OED’s web page at
mauicounty.gov/OED or for additional
information call the Mayor’s Office of
Economic Development at 808-270-7710.

MCHC News Release
There’s no doubt that 2013 has
been a year of growth and renewal
at the Molokai Community Health
Center (MCHC). In light of this, we
would like to introduce the many new
faces that you will be seeing on our
campus and how they may be a resource to you.
Our new Dental Director, Benjamin Mead, DDS, is a Hilo-born University of Hawaii, Manoa graduate
who finished his dentistry program
at the University of Missouri Kansas
City School where he completed his
studies in 2008.
Dr. Mead returned home to Hawaii Island where he worked in both
a private practice setting as well as at
a public health clinic as a lead dentist. Since working on Hawaii Island,
Dr. Mead had the opportunity to join
our team here at MCHC as a temporary provider. This opportunity led
Dr. Mead to “fall
in love with the
clinic and its mission, and especially the island
of Molokai” and
to accept the position as our lead
dentist.
If
you
haven’t met Dr.
Mead on our campus, you may see
him out surfing or fishing. To make
an appointment with Dr. Mead, please
call 553-4511, Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. (closed
Fridays). Our dental department handles comprehensive dental care from
routine visits to complex cases. We
accept patients as early as six months
of age and are currently accepting
new patients.
COMMUNITY CALENDAR
WEEKLY EVENTS
In an effort to increase Hawaii’s
food production and help decrease dependency on imported foods, Kamehameha Schools and Ke Ali`i Pauahi
Foundation teamed up to create an agricultural business plan contest. The first
Mahi`ai Match-Up hoped to attract experienced farmers with innovative ideas to
grow food on vacant agricultural lands
owned by Kamehameha Schools. The
opportunity attracted 148 local farmers.
The organizations just announced
the first, second and third place winners
of the contest, and Molokai’s Mapulehu
Farms placed third. Winning teams receive an agricultural lease from Kamehameha Schools with up to five years
of waived rent and money from Ke Ali`i
Pauahi Foundation. The gala, where the
winners were announced, was a fundraiser to raise monies for agricultural
scholarships and grants to help cultivate
a new generation of farmers for Hawaii.
The top three finalists presented
their business plans in front of judges
for the $25,000 first place, $15,000 second place and $10,000 third place prizes.
Oahu’s Holoholo General Store, specializing in Community Supported Agriculture, came in first, and organic piggery
Kaunamano Farms on Hawaii Island
placed second.
Mapulehu Farms is an organic
mango farm offering agricultural farms
tours to teach the community about
Hawaiian-based farming practices and
traditional varieties native to Mapulehu,
Molokai. Coconut, banana, taro, and
sweet potato will also be added to the
43-acre mango orchard.
“We associate food with culture
and traditions that bind us together as a
community,” said Keawe Liu, Executive
Director of Ke Ali`i Pauahi Foundation.
“The need to partner with others to increase local food production for a sustainable Hawaii is essential.”

maybe you would never guess contain scraps of home.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): The 19th-century American
folk hero known as Wild Bill Hickok was born James Butler
Hickok. At various times in his life he was a scout for the
army, a lawman for violent frontier towns, a professional
gambler, and a performer in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.
Women found him charismatic, and he once killed an attacking bear with a knife. He had a brother Lorenzo who came to
be known as Tame Bill Hickok. In contrast to Wild Bill, Tame
Bill was quiet, gentle, and cautious. He lived an uneventful
life as a wagon master, and children loved him. Right now,
Cancerian, I’m meditating on how I’d like to see your inner
Wild Bill come out to play for a while, even as your inner
Tame Bill takes some time off.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What words bring the
most points in the game of Scrabble? Expert Christopher
Swenson says that among the top scorers are “piezoelectrical” and “ubiquitarianism” -- assuming favorable placements
on the board that bring double letter and triple word scores.
The first word can potentially net 1,107 points, and the second 1,053. There are metaphorical clues here, Capricorn, for
how you might achieve maximum success in the next phase
of the game of life. You should be well-informed about the
rules, including their unusual corollaries and loopholes. Be
ready to call on expert help and specialized knowledge. Assume that your luck will be greatest if you are willing to plan
nonstandard gambits and try bold tricks.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “If I was a love poet,” writes Rudy
Francisco, addressing a lover, “I’d write about how you have
the audacity to be beautiful even on days when everything
around you is ugly.” I suspect you have that kind of audacity
right now, Leo. In fact, I bet the ugliness you encounter will
actually incite you to amplify the gorgeous charisma you’re
radiating. The sheer volume of lyrical soulfulness that pours
out of you will have so much healing power that you may
even make the ugly stuff less ugly. I’m betting that you will
lift up everything you touch, nudging it in the direction of
grace and elegance and charm.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sorry to report that you
won’t win the lottery this week. It’s also unlikely that you
will score an unrecognized Rembrandt painting for a few
dollars at a thrift store or discover that you have inherited a
chinchilla farm in Peru or stumble upon a stash of gold coins
half-buried in the woods. On the other hand, you may get
provocative clues about how you could increase your cash
flow. To ensure you will notice those clues when they arrive,
drop your expectations about where they might come from.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “You miss 100 percent of
the shots you don’t take,” says hockey great Wayne Gretzky.
In other words, you shouldn’t be timid about shooting the
puck toward the goal. Don’t worry about whether you have
enough skill or confidence or luck. Just take the damn shot.
You’ll never score if you don’t shoot. Or so the theory goes.
But an event in a recent pro hockey game showed there’s an
exception to the rule. A New York player named Chris Kreider was guiding the puck with his stick as he skated toward
the Minnesota team’s goalie. But when Kreider cocked and
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Avery, a character in Anne
Michaels’ novel The Winter Vault, has a unique way of seeing.
When he arrives in a place for the first time, he “makes room
for it in his heart.” He “lets himself be altered” by it. At one
point in the story he visits an old Nubian city in Egypt and is
overwhelmed by its exotic beauty. Its brightly colored houses
are like “shouts of joy,” like “gardens springing up in the sand
after a rainfall.”After drinking in the sights, he marvels, “It will
take all my life to learn what I have seen today.” Everything I
just described is akin to experiences you could have in the
coming weeks, Pisces. Can you make room in your heart for
the dazzle?

Tips from the Vet for Your
Pet: Choosing Dog Food
By Dr. Stewart Morgan, DVM |
Molokai Humane Society
With all the different dog foods
that someone could buy, it helps to
get an idea of what is best for your
individual dog. Dogs that are pregnant, nursing, growing, used for
hunting/sport or simply house pets
have different needs when it comes
to food. The Association of American
Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) is a
group that sets standards for marketing and labeling of animal feed and
marketing. The standards they set
on pet food labels are the guidelines
companies use to make pet foods
that are considered adequate for different times in a dog’s life. Dog food
packages have an AAFCO nutrition
statement telling what the food is adequate for. When choosing a food for
your dog, first look to see if the AAFCO label says that the food is made
for your dog’s age or condition. That
is a good first step to seeing if the
food is okay for your pet.
The ingredient list on the package lists the ingredients by weight at
the start of preparation. Most quality
dog foods have good animal sources of protein (chicken, beef, chicken
meal, fish meal, etc.) as the first few
ingredients; these are muscle meats.
“By-product meal” means the protein source may not be all muscle
meat, but kidneys, liver, intestines,
or feet, bones, etc. Some of these are
good protein sources, some not so
good. Meal (like chicken, lamb, fish)
can be a source of more protein than
meat because meat is mostly water
and dries out while cooking.
Dry food is usually the most economic type of food because it is easier
to store and you need to feed smaller
amounts. A cup of dry food has more
calories than a cup of canned food,
because canned food is usually about
76 percent water, while dry food is
about 10 percent water.
Cheaper is not always better. A
quality dog food is easily digested
and fits your pet’s lifestyle. For a
hunting dog, a cheap food that a 50
pound dog needs six cups to keep
their weight on is not as good as
a quality food that that same dog
would only need two cups of per day.
In the long run, the quality food will
cost less and be better for your dog.
At Molokai Humane Society,
we can discuss your pet’s diet if you
have further questions!

Pule, will never be able to express our appreciation for the kindness and caring support that we received from family, many
friends and the community of Molokai.
Our heartfelt thanks to all the people who
offered their concern and prayers during
this difficult time.

Who am I? Am I a rebel or a trouble
maker? I face this labeling a lot. I have
fought to protect the island of Molokai from
development and resource mismanagement for the past 10 plus years, and to half
of my island, I am viewed as a rebel who
would do anything to protect the place of
my birth and the future of this place.
Then there are the people who view
what I do as just making trouble. I am the
reason that Molokai has no jobs, why tourists do not like coming to visit, etc. Why is
caring for the future of this island, protecting its resources and saying “no” to bad
ideas making trouble?
At first, the haole tourist who wanted
to vacation here and buy land was the enemy, but now they are the ones helping us to

protect our islands from industrial chemical agriculture. Ten years ago, the “haoles”
would’ve called me the trouble maker, and
the Hawaiians calling me a rebel. Now, the
haoles call me the rebel and the Hawaiians
call me the trouble maker.
I swore to protect my `aina from evil,
un-pono practices, and to always pursue
the restoration of our Hawaiian Kingdom,
and nothing has changed! If you find yourself on the opposite side of me, I suggest
you check where you are standing and
what/who you are standing for. Rebel or
Troublemaker, you decide. One thing that
will never change is how much I love this
place!

Dear Friends of Molokai College Career Tour Club (MCCTC): We’re floating on
air from the tremendous support our students received at the Keola Beamer Concert
last Friday, Valentine’s Day, at the Molokai
Community Health Center. We want to
quickly and publicly recognize the many,
many families and friends – too numerous
to name here – who worked hard throughout the day and evening for this amazing
event.
On behalf of the MCCTC students and
their families, thank you all for your ongo-
ing support and many donations and gifts.
Keola Beamer and Moana, his wife, were
impressed by the community’s support of
our students.
We look forward to sharing exciting
news of our students’ college and career
progress.

Impressed with Students
On Friday, Feb. 14, supporters of Molokai College Career Tour Club (MCCTC)
took a walk down memory lane while getting a glimpse of the future, at the former
Pau Hana Inn, now the Molokai Community Health Center.
The banyan reaching up to meet the
star-studded sky was a fitting remember of
this majestic and strategic tree still hovering
and now protecting 19 aspiring young students who will embark on a fall tour to five
east coast colleges.
The fundraiser was extraordinary,
with all the Valentine’s treats, flowers,
candles, decorations, lucky numbers, entertainment, ono food (served by the students), a silent auction and heartfelt thanks
from students, their principal and teachers.
An added touch was a letter from and
photo of one of the students on each table.
The letter detailed this student’s goals as
well as a request for a response from the
community elders (table guests) who may
have some wisdom to share.
To be witness to the hopes and dreams
of these career and college-bound young
people gives a new dimension to a high
school program with sincere determination
and foresight. There’s a great deal of hard
work and good work going on here.
We have always cherished our years
of teaching on the island and this experience just exemplifies how proud we are of
these persevering young students.
Keola Beamer, the slack key guitar
master and professional entertainer for
the evening, spoke of a bowl with a light,
deep within all of us, holding the light of
love. Nurture this light with kindness and
compassion. Teach yourself and your loved
ones to honor and share the love every day.
It was so refreshing and humbling to
see and hear students share their love of
their culture through music, dance and story, and show appreciation to their school,
teachers, counselors, principal, community,
ohana and friends.
Though we were there to help support
the program, the real gift is in the dreams,
hearts and minds of these bright, young
people, with hope to reach for higher education, some to return to share their knowledge and aloha on Molokai.
We were very grateful to be a part of
this enlightening evening.
