Molokai Dispatch Celebrates 30 Years
By Molokai Dispatch Staff
T
hirty years ago, the first issues
of The Molokai Dispatch were
pasted together with rubber cement, hand delivered to off-island
printers, and, granted the weather was
good, delivered each Wednesday to
Molokai readers.
Over time, operations moved
between three locations, five owners, countless writers and interns and
three taglines (remember ‘The Coconut Wireless of Molokai?’). Amidst the
changes, the Dispatch has emerged as
the longest standing—and currently
only—newspaper on the island.
Each week, The Molokai Dispatch
brings news to the island while upholding a set of values and guidelines
aimed toward community empowerment and healthy dialogue through
responsible journalism. The Dispatch
has developed a focus on youth, culture, history, politics and the environment to best serve the interests of the
entire Molokai community.
Cut and Paste
Myrle Florea started The Molokai Dispatch in her Kalae home in
1985. On a table that Florea’s daughter
Leslee still owns, articles and photographs were physically laid out, painstakingly cut with X-Acto knifes and
pasted together with rubber cement.
Leslee, who was 10 at the time, spent
many late nights watching her mother
create the paper.
“I didn’t how to type. … I just
keep her company,” she said. “I remember falling asleep on the carpet
near her.”
The first ever Dispatch was eight
pages long, and on its front cover was
an article discussing the island’s water
system. Myrle wrote that this would
be a unique paper, dedicated to progress and prosperity. She felt “there was
a need on Molokai for a voice,” said
Leslee.
“My mother was very much one
to state facts instead of opinions,” said
Leslee. “… It was kind of her way of
safeguarding, because if everybody
knew, we could act properly. … Because my mother was an educated
woman, she expected that everybody
need to be educated also, and if you’re
educated, you can make your own decisions.”
Myrle passed management of the
paper on to Bill Bevens around 1989,
who began an internship program,
according to former Dispatch writer
Kathleen Larson. Bevens moved the
location into Kaunakakai—a more
convenient location to follow island
happenings—and set up shop in the
old Kaunakakai electric office. Shortly
after, layout of the paper went digital.
Staying Alive
In 1992, Bevens sold the Dispatch
to Charlie Pastorino, but barely a year
later, Pastorino had to move to the
mainland. He told his friends, Molokai
residents Edie and Gerry Anderson,
that he’d have to close the Dispatch
or pass ownership over to them, said
Edie. With issues of water and land development weighing heavily on the island, the Andersons felt they couldn’t
let the paper die out.
“At that point, things were pretty

Why I fly
with Makani Kai
“You have plenty flights to choose from,” says Audwin, “and it’s a nice place to relax
before your flight,” he says of our lobby area in Honolulu. Audwin, who’s been the
lead mechanic for Monsanto on Molokai for a decade, also appreciates Makani Kai
Air’s affordable airfares and the fact that he doesn’t have to take off his shoes before
he gets on the plane. “Having no TSA…that’s a big one.”

Molokai Dispatch News Release
For the second year in a row,
Molokai Dispatch staff were honored
at the Hawaii Excellence in Journalism Awards banquet recognizing the
state’s outstanding journalism for
2014. The newspaper received three
first place and one finalist award in
several categories at a ceremony held
in Honolulu on June 26.
The Hawaii chapter of the Society
of Professional Journalists (SPJ) annually awards the state’s finest media
coverage in newspaper, television, radio, magazine and web. Last year, the
Dispatch earned one first place and
four finalist awards for its coverage in
2013.
“We are grateful to the Molokai
community for sharing your stories
and honored to represent our island's
newspaper among the state's best,”
said Dispatch editor Catherine Cluett. “We hope we can make residents
proud that Molokai is home to an
award-winning publication.”
In the non-daily newspaper community reporting category, Molokai
Dispatch reporter Colleen Uechi took
first place for a series honoring Molokai’s veterans and raising awareness
of the challenges they face.
“The winner, ‘Heroes Among Us,’
[gives] a very human, personal portrait of a veteran rejoining his community,” wrote the contest’s judges, who
were from the Kansas City Press Club
and the SPJ Connecticut Chapter.
In the General News/Enterprise
Reporting category of non-daily newspapers, first place was awarded to
“GE Crops Debate Shakes Molokai,”
a series written by Cluett. Comprised
of four stories that printed in the Dispatch from February to November last
year, the series looked at social, economic and cultural issues surrounding
the debate on genetically engineered
crops that heavily impacted the Molokai community in 2014.
“Great work on this series of sto-

ries,” wrote the judges in their comments. “So many voices added depth
to a topic that meant so much to your
readers. This writer cover all the
angles and did so with a clarity that
brought everything into focus.”
Cluett was also awarded first
place in the feature writing category
for “Tagging Kioea: Learning about
Molokai’s Rare Shorebirds,” and as a
finalist in the same category for her
story, “Ventures in Vanilla” about a
local farmer who produces the bean
extract.
“The Molokai community is so
passionate and heartfelt, and it was
wonderful to see their stories honored,” said Uechi.
Other media outlets earning
awards at the ceremony included Hawaii News Now, Honolulu Civil Beat,
Maui News, Hana Hou! magazine,
Hawaii Business, Hawaii Public Radio
and others.

tense on Molokai, and we just didn’t
feel that it would be a responsible
thing to close the newspaper,” said
Edie. “… We felt that the newspaper
was the only vehicle to get the public
involved and know what was going
on.”
The Andersons eventually moved
headquarters to Maunaloa, where the
revitalized town was bustling with activity. Between the two of them, they
worked seven days a week, 12 hours
a day, and even when Gerry was diagnosed with low-grade lymphoma in
2003, he was “doing books and editing
copy from his hospital bed in Tripler,”
said Edie.
Local boy Todd Yamashita bought
The Molokai Dispatch from the Andersons in 2006.
Before he had an office, Yamashita created the paper on his laptop in
his grandmother ’s living room, continuing a Dispatch tradition of homebased production.
“When I think about the Molokai
Dispatch, I think about humble beginnings,” said Yamashita. “… What’s interesting to me is that that very first
issue was about the island’s water
supply, so from the start The Molokai
Dispatch was about connecting people
and understanding and being vigilant
of our resources.”
Bringing the paper ’s headquarters back to Kaunakakai, Yamashita
updated the Dispatch by launching a
website and changing the newspaper
to the more common broadsheet format from its older tabloid-size beginnings. Yamashita also put together the
Dispatch’s current mission statement.
During this time, the internship program also flourished, offering talented young people a chance to develop
and share their skills with the Molokai
community.
In 2009, part-time Molokai residents Phil and Terri Pendergraft
2
joined the Dispatch team when they
became partners with Yamashita in
business ownership. Since then, the
Pendergrafts have provided advice,
business expertise and support when
called upon.
That same year, former intern
and New Hampshire native Catherine
Cluett became the Dispatch’s editorin-chief. Cluett continues to manage
the paper ’s team, foster multimedia platforms and guide community
members in becoming active participants in the news sharing process.
Under her leadership, the Dispatch
has earned statewide recognition and
nine Hawaii Excellence in Journalism
Awards over the last two years.
Mahalo Molokai
After 30 years, the Dispatch is still
able to bring you weekly news thanks
in large part to the ongoing support
of the Molokai community, through
advertising, contributed stories, and
volunteer assistance.
Because of local businesses advertising, the newspaper remains a
free publication that residents can
scoop up from locations across the island each week.
“I always say that our advertisers
are probably our biggest unsung heroes,” said Yamashita. “… Even when
the economy was down, even when
they had trouble paying their bills,
they hung in there. ... They are the
driving force that is supporting news
and media on Molokai.”
The purpose of the Dispatch has
also remained true to its roots: to
dedicate itself to “the future progress
and prosperity of our island home,
the youth of our island, and truth and
fairness in journalism” – as written in
the Dispatch’s first issue: Jan. 16, 1985.
From all of us here at the Dispatch, we say mahalo nui loa to our
loyal readers and advertisers for the
community’s continued support. We
hope to bring you the island’s news
for many more years to come.

e have hundreds of advertisers over the last 30 years to thank for The
Molokai Dispatch still being in print after 30 years. The earliest issues
of The Molokai Dispatch in 1985 had few advertisements, and many
of those businesses are no longer around. But one of our first regular advertisers is a business that’s still thriving, and claims the title of longest-running ad
that continues to print in the Dispatch each week. In 1988, Swenson Real Estate
and Construction began publishing homes and condos for sale. Owned by Diane
and Larry Swenson, the business has evolved along with The Molokai Dispatch
over the last three decades and been a loyal supporter of local news. Molokai
Dispatch staff would like to thank and recognize Tropical Island Properties, dba
Swenson Real Estate, for their continued support throughout the years as our
oldest advertiser still printing each week.

Be Part of Molokai’s
Nutrition Revolution
By Megan Stephenson
Sitting down to a meal at home,
with your `ohana, is such an important part of the day. Everyone shares
their latest news, cracks jokes, nags
about getting chores done, and tucks
in to the ono food. Bonds strengthen
while the body simultaneously refills on more energy. When done
eating, do you ever feel sluggish or
sleepy? This may seem like a natural
course of the day, but it's actually a
sign to get moving again. Walking
or activity after eating a big meal,
especially one full of carbohydrates
like pasta and rice, helps break
down the food you just ate, which
has transformed into different types
of energy -- sugar or fat -- that your
body runs on.
Straightforward steps like this
are especially important to those
with type 2 diabetes, and I am working on a project to reach out to those
with diabetes. For people with type
2 diabetes, maintaining a healthy
diet and regular exercise can help
keep glucose levels low, as well as
benefit cholesterol and blood pressure levels, and a healthy weight. It
can also save on future healthcare
costs!
Some of you may remember
me as a former Molokai Dispatch
staff member, a great time in my life
which led me to this beautiful island. I am now a graduate student
at Western Washington University
where I am studying anthropology.
Na Wahine O Ke Kai News Release
What I want to do is use the intersection between culture and health
to educate and inform us all on how
we can live healthier in an increasingly processed world.
I am looking for people with
diagnosed type 2 diabetes to be a
part of my project study. I created
an educational video, filmed here
on Molokai with professionals on
the island, about nutrition in everyday terms, the importance of physical exercise, and the many ways you
can embrace healthy lifestyle activities.
What I need is participants -anyone over age 18 diagnosed with
type 2 diabetes -- to watch the video
and fill out surveys. All participants
will be anonymous, and as thanks
for participating, you will get a
Molokai Drugs gift certificate and
be entered to win a raffled prize,
a NutriBullet (or similar) personal
blender system!
I hope to hear from interested,
qualified people by July 10. Please
contact me at (309) 230-2855 and
mkstephenson@gmail.com. My research partner is the Molokai Community Health Center (MCHC), so
you may also contact Dr. Christina
Economos at (808) 553-5038. The
surveys will either be mailed or
emailed to you, depending on your
preference, and the video can be
watched at home or in a group at
MCHC, in mid-July.
The Na Wahine O Ke Kai Race Committee, producers of the 2015 Hawaiian
Airlines Na Wahine O Ke Kai Molokai to
Oahu Canoe Race, announced today that
it will receive $6,000 from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA), Ahahui Community
grant.
This race is considered the world
championship of outrigger canoe racing
which unites paddlers from all walks of
life and brings them together as one. The
participants, of which 70 percent are Native
Hawaiian and 80 percent are from the state
of Hawaii, will come together to strengthen their identity, to preserve, practice and
perpetuate their culture, on Sunday, Sept.
27. This prestigious outrigger canoe race
has grown nationally and internationally,
attracting crews from Hong Kong, Japan,
United Kingdom, California, Washington,
Oregon, Tahiti, Australia, Canada and New
Zealand. The race is 41 miles across the
treacherous Ka`iwi channel, beginning at
Hale O Lono Harbor on Molokai and ending at Duke Kahanamoku Beach fronting
the Hilton Hawaiian Village at Waikiki.
Na Wahine O Ke Kai (Women of the
Sea) was founded in February of 1979. The
canoe race has flourished through the years
because of the tireless efforts of race supporters, volunteers, and paddlers. Through
their endurance, devotion and sponsorship
they have helped to perpetuate Hawaii's
cultural heritage.
"Our love for this race is deep, because
it represents the power and potential of
women," said Hannie Anderson, race director of Na Wahine O Ke Kai. "To put on
this race year after year, for a total of 36
years, is a tremendous team effort by the
entire race committee. We set out to create
a movement for the sport of women's paddling and we succeeded. This race and the
women who come back every year to participate are a testament to that."
The Na Wahine O Ke Kai Race Committee is honored to have OHA as a sponsor again this year. The grant exemplifies
OHA’s commitment to malama protect
Hawaii’s people, towards ensuring the
perpetuation of the culture. This grant will
help with the cost of hauling the canoes
from Kaunakakai Harbor to Hale O Lono
Harbor on Molokai.

THE MOLOKAI DISPATCH • JUL 1, 2015 •
Pacific Century Fellows Program
Pacific Century News Release
The Fund for the Pacific Century, a
charitable, nonprofit organization, is accepting applications for its 15th class of
Pacific Century Fellows. The program,
modeled after the White House Fellows
Program, is designed to recognize and
encourage Hawaii’s future leaders.
The nine-month program will include approximately 30 of Hawaii’s
most promising individuals from all
segments of our community who are in
their mid-20s to early 40s. The fellows
will be selected by an 18-member committee of prominent citizens based on
their demonstrated ability to set and
achieve goals and on having exhibited
leadership qualities in their current professional, volunteer, and civic activities.
From Molokai, Kimberly Mikami
Svetin and Rob Stephenson are former
Pacific Century Fellows.
Mufi Hannemann, who serves as
chairman of the board of the Fund for
the Pacific Century, was himself a White
House Fellow in 1983-84. He said it has
been exciting to see this program develop
and to hear from past participants on how
they have benefited from the experience.
“Graduates of the program include
elected officials in various positions, including U.S. Senator and Congressman,
Governor, and Mayor, bank executives
and top business leaders, major labor

WEEKLY EVENTS
and nonprofit representatives, University professors, media and public relations officials, physicians and dentists,
and military officers,” said Hannemann.
“We will be selecting our 15th class of
fellows and providing these up-andcoming leaders with a unique opportunity to gain a better understanding of
the issues confronting our community
and nation.”
Those chosen will gain a broader
view of those issues through direct contact with senior community, social and
government leaders.
“Program Fellows are encouraged
to develop long-term relationships and
are expected to play active public ser-
6
vice roles. In this regard, the classes of
both programs are provided with an opportunity to meet each other when the
Marianas Chapter fellows come to Hawaii as a part of their program year,”
added Hannemann.
Individual companies may sponsor
candidates for the program. The cost is
$3,500 to cover expenses. Employers are
encouraged to pay employee program
costs, but tuition assistance is available.
Applications and information is available at pacificcenturyfellows.com. The
deadline for submission of applications
is July 15. The Opening Retreat that
kicks off the 2015-16 program year, is in
September, at the Turtle Bay Resort.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):):To determine whether you
are aligned with the cosmic flow, please answer the following questions. 1. Would you say that your current situation is
more akin to treading water in a mosquito-ridden swamp, or
conducting a ritual of purification in a clear mountain stream?
2. Have you been wrestling with boring ghosts and arguing
with traditions that have lost most of their meaning? Or have
you been transforming your past and developing a riper relationship with your roots? 3. Are you stuck in a gooey muck?
Or are you building a flexible new foundation?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus singer Sam Smith
won four Grammys this year, largely on the strength of his
hit single "Stay with Me." The song has a lush gospel choir
backing up his lead vocals, or so it seems. But in fact, every
voice in that choir is his own. He recorded twenty separate
harmony tracks that were woven together to create the big
sound. What would be the equivalent in your world, Taurus?
How could you produce a wealth of support for yourself?
What might you do to surround yourself with a web of help
and nourishment? How can you amplify and intensify your
efforts so they have more clout? Now would be an excellent
time to explore possibilities like these.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Born under the sign of Gemini,
Gustave Courbet (1819-1877) was a French painter who upset traditionalists. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he
wasn't interested in creating idealistic art based on historical
and religious themes. He focused on earthy subjects about
which he had direct experience, like the day-to-day lives of
peasants and laborers. So even though he became a highly
praised celebrity by his mid-thirties, the arbiters of the art
world tried to exclude him. For example, they denied him a
place in Exposition Universelle, a major international exhibition in Paris. In response, Courbet built a temporary gallery
next door to the main hall, where he displayed his own work.
As you strive to get your voice heard, Gemini, I urge you to

the global empire of fried-chicken restaurants until the age of
65. I hope the preceding serves as a pep talk, Virgo, reminding
you that it's never to late to instigate the project of a lifetime.
The time between now and your birthday in 2016 will be an
especially favorable phase to do so. Start ruminating on what
it might be.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It's the power-building phase of
your astrological cycle. To take maximum advantage, convey
the following message to your subconscious mind: "I know
you will provide me with an abundance of insight, inspiration, and energy for whatever intention I choose to focus on.
And during the next four weeks, my intention will be to cultivate, expand, and refine my personal power. I will especially
focus on what author Stephen R. Covey called 'the capacity to
overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher,
more effective ones.'"
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I'm a big fan of science and
logic and objective thinking. Most of us need more of that
good stuff. The world would be a saner, safer place if we all
got regular lessons on how to be more reasonable and rational. But in the immediate future, Scorpio, I'll steer you in a different direction. I believe you will benefit from injecting your
imagination with primal raw crazy wild mojo. For example,
you might read utopian science fiction and fairy tales about
talking animals and poetry that scrambles your intellectual
constructs. You could remember your dreams and ruminate
about them as if they were revelations from the Great Beyond.
You may also find it healthy to fantasize profusely about forbidden and impossible and hilarious adventures.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There are lots of inquiries
and invitations coming your way -- perhaps too many. I don't
think you should pursue all of them. In fact, I suspect that only
one would ultimately make you a better human being and a
braver explorer and a wiser lover. And that one, at first glance,
may have not as much initial appeal as some of the others. So
your first task is to dig deep to identify the propositions that
are attractive on the surface but not very substantial. Then
you're more likely to recognize the offer that will have lasting
value even if it doesn't make a spectacular first impression.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): "I find a lot of people
physically attractive, but finding people mentally and spiritually attractive is different and much harder for me." So says
40ozshawty on her Tumblr page. If you share that frustration,
I have good news. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you're due to encounter a higher-than-usual
percentage of mentally and spiritually attractive people in
the next six weeks. But I wonder how you'll deal with this
abundance. Will you run away from it, feeling overwhelmed
by the prospect that your life could get more interesting and
complicated? Or will you embrace it, daringly welcoming the
interesting complications?
CANCER (June 21-July 22): "I am trying to be unfamiliar
with what I am doing," said composer John Cage in describing his creative process. That's excellent counsel for you to
meditate on, Cancerian. The less expertise and certainty you
have about the rough magic you're experimenting with, the
more likely it is that this magic will lead you to useful breakthroughs. To bolster Cage's advice and help you get the most
from your period of self-reinvention, I offer you this quote AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I think you will generate
good fortune for yourself by choosing between two equally
from Picasso: "I imitate everyone except myself."
invigorating but challenging tasks: losing your illusion or usLEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your words of wisdom come from ing your illusion. Both are quite worthy of your attention and

Veterans Corner
By Jesse Church
Aloha all my fellow
veterans and residents
of Molokai, old Jesse
here with all the veterans news and upcoming
events. Every American
knows what the date
July 4, 1776 signifies: Independence Day, the day the Declaration
of Independence was signed. Why did the
13 colonies want to break away from Great
Britain? Perhaps part of the answer can be
found in the Declaration of Independence.
The second paragraph of the declaration
is excerpted, “We hold these truths to
be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the
pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these
rights, Governments are instituted among
Men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed. That whenever
any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of
the People to alter or to abolish it, and
to institute new Government, laying its
foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them
shall seem most likely to effect their Safety
and Happiness…. When a long train of
abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to
reduce them under absolute Despotism, it
is their right, it is their duty, to throw off
such Government, and to provide new
Guards for their future security. Such has
been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which
constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the
present King of Great Britain is a history
of repeated injuries and usurpations, all
having in direct object the establishment
of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a
candid world.”
Of the last nine paragraphs, eight of
them list the things done by King George
of Great Britain that the 13 colonies believe as wrong, and their motive for a
new government, with residents of the
colonies in control of their government.
The author of the Declaration of Independence was Benjamin Franklin, who
I believe wrote a very powerful, well
thought-out, and very well written document that unified the colonies, and made
the United States possible. If you have
never read the Declaration of Independence, you should. It tells so much about
our forefathers and their resolve to right
the wrongs of King George.
The Constitution of the United
States was signed by delegates on Sept.
17, 1787 and was supported by the 12
states present at the Constitutional Convention. I’d like to share with you the
preamble of the constitution.
“We, the People of the United States,
in Order to form a more perfect Union,
establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense,
promote the general Welfare, and secure
the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and
our Posterity, do ordain and establish
this Constitution for the United States of
America.”
I will write more on the Constitution at a later date.
Hey all you people out there with
fireworks, please let’s be very careful.
We don’t want to see anyone get hurt, or
any fires on the Fourth of July, and have
some consideration for your friends and
neighbors. Some people go to bed early,
and you don’t need to shoot fireworks
into the wee hours of the morning. Remember old Jesse loves all the residents
of Molokai very much, from my heart.
Everybody have a great holiday! See you
next week, aloha.

Community Power
By Ayda Ersoy
First, I want to say
Happy 30th Birthday to
The Molokai Dispatch!
I’m honored and grateful that my articles are a
part of it.
This week, I want to talk about the
power of a community.
Do you know what’s easier: to
change your environment, or to change
your mind? Can you change your family or your career easily? I don’t think so.
But we can change our minds, and our
perception.
I like Wayne Dyer’s book title
“Change Your Thoughts, Change Your
Life.” I know it’s not easy to do, but it’s
not impossible either. Let’s say you’re
finding it really hard to change your
thinking. That means your only option
is to change your environment. Don’t
worry, I have some suggestions that may
help!
If you’d like to start any form of
exercise, then try getting a friend to join
you. This will make you both feel much
more accountable, if you agree to meet at
a certain time then you know you have
to do it. Also, when I work out with a
friend I find I make my workouts much
harder!
If you’d like to start a diet, maybe
you’re thinking you don’t want to tell
anyone because you’re scared you won’t
be able to stick to it. Share your plans
with your friends, and ask them to support you. Even ask them to not offer you
any food, and if you break your diet, tell
them to punish you. They will love it,
and you will have a free coach too! Really use your community support. Use
your friends, and one day they will need
you too.
Create a community event amongst
your friends. This could just be to go for a
walk, read the same book then talk about
it, or organize a play group where you all
play with your kids.
How about fixing a time to get together and play volleyball? A couple
weeks ago, I had a chance to stay in Kalaupapa. They have a volleyball game
there every Wednesday evening, and the
referee is an 85 year old former patient. It
was awesome! I didn’t play for long, but
it’s so beautiful when you feel the energy
and see how happy everyone is, just by
being together, sharing the experience
and giving each other support.
Let’s start something like this topside too! Just get together and help each
other. Once you have decided to let others hold you accountable, and to help
the community, you have to make sure
that you yourself are in the correct mindset. You’ll already change your mindset
without even realizing it.

Saturnino “Tony” Lopez
Marketing the Ferry
The Molokai Ferry has over the years
gone through economic challenges leaving
residents in question as to its future. I wonder if it had ever been marketed correctly
that the challenge might be to find room
or even a reservation to use it. What if instead of “ferry” it was called the magic bus
or water shuttle? The Pacific Water Shuttle
or perhaps, The Molokai Magic Water Bus
might have a better connotation.
Has anybody ever wondered if a very
positive vibe and quality image might turn
the economical tide? What if for starters, it
was no longer used to transport prisoners?
I realize that Molokai’s finest might enjoy
the ride and the boredom relief from a prisoner occasionally jumping off hand-cuffed,
but is that enough to continue this embarrassing ritual? The hardened powers that
be will never see the tourist point of view in
being forced to watch this but I just thought
it might be worth mentioning.
A thriving creative business normally
has a creative niche, why can’t our “magic
water bus” have one? I love setting sail to
Lahaina, prisoners or not, and I want the
shuttle to succeed; I think the name needs
to change. “Ferry” has so many negative
inferences. They are known to turn upside
down and even if they are “super” they
can’t find a way to work.
Let’s turn the tide on this one and
find a creative way to insure its future.
Just because of a silly name; businesses
that should be successful fails. Let’s take
away the negative and float the magic bus.
I’m sure our community compatible cops
would rather fly anyway.
David Powell
