olokai residents brought a bag
full of suggestions and concerns to a visit from the head
of one of the largest branches of the state
government – the Department of Land
and Natural Resources (DLNR). From
discussions about protecting subsistence
lifestyles to management of wind, water
and other resources, DLNR Chairperson
William “Bill” Aila interacted with residents for nearly two hours during his
first visit to Molokai.
Aila, who was appointed DLNR
chairperson by Gov. Abercrombie in
November 2010, talked story with local
residents as part of a statewide series.
The meeting was unusual because Aila’s
visit was not to address a particular project or issue, but instead simply to listen.
The gesture was appreciated by Molokai
residents, who repeatedly thanked him
for his effort and openness.
The session’s biggest takeaway,
Aila said, was local opposition to the
proposed industrial wind turbines to be
built on Molokai, part of a statewide renewable energy initiative referred to as
Big Wind.
“I have known the governor to
change his mind,” he told the crowd,
later adding, “I will tell the governor nobody wants Big Wind on Molokai.”
Another priority, he said, is the
department’s Watershed Partnerships
Program, which oversees “voluntary alliances of public and private landowners
committed to the common value of protecting forested watersheds,” according
to the DLNR website.
“The most important thing we
can do … is get a handle on protecting the watersheds,” he said at the
meeting’s start.
Canoe Race Concerns
In addition to concerns about wind
turbines, many community members
asked Aila questions about canoe races
hosted on Molokai, including two popular annual races: Na Wahine O Ke Kai,
which brought 72 teams to Molokai last
month, and the Molokai Hoe, which
welcomed 104 teams last weekend.
Escort boat crews sometimes pollute the ocean with trash or practice
unlawful fishing, several residents
said, and questioned whether Aila’s
department could add conditions onto
race permits prohibiting certain kinds
of fishing.
“The race is great, but the racers
need to understand,” said Leimana
Naki, who lamented permits that give
exclusive fishing rights to visitors on
certain days, therefore pushing out local fishermen. “It’s OK to paddle, but
no fishing.”
However, other residents acknowledged escort boats’ reputations were
marred only by “a few bad apples,”
recommending increased enforcement
and education or requiring fees for each
escort boat. People interested in asking
Aila to deny future permits for future
races said a community conversation
should take place first, adding it should
include and respect local paddlers who
take pride in the races.
Aila said he cannot add conditions
to permits unless legislation is passed allowing him to do so. He said after the
meeting that community members may
formally approach DLNR about denying future race permits or passing legislation expanding race permit conditions.
The DLNR would then hold a series of
public hearings on the issue, which
would ultimately need to pass the governor’s desk.

But the futuristic-looking device isn’t

fact, 11-year-old Rogers is outdoors with

Molokai to Duke’s Beach in Honolulu,
smashing the race’s record time they had
set in 2008 by eight minutes and finishing with a time of 4:30:54.
“It is rewarding to see our labor
against competitors and an honor to
lead this incredible race,” said Shell Va`a
president Richel Moux.
“We just love this island and this
race,” Shell Va`a stroker Cronsteadt Yoann
added.
Molokai paddlers in the open division weren’t far behind. Representing
Wa`akapaemua Canoe Club, they finished
with an impressive performance placing
22nd overall with a time of 5:30:54, believed to be the best finish by an all Molokai crew. Paddlers included Asa Ward,
Bozo Dudoit, Chad Lima, Clint Labrador,
John Russell Phifer, Brian Meschter, Clancy Wright, Keola Kino and Titus Castor.
Molokai was also represented Adolph
Helm and Jerome Kalama who joined a
masters team from Maui and Greg “Doc”
Davis paddled with team Anuenue of
Oahu. Kawika Crivello made his fifteenth
crossing, paddling this year with team Hui
Lanakila of Oahu.
Team Primo of Maui also set a new
record for the fastest Hawaiian crossing,
placing third with a time of 4:42:59, just
behind Team EDT of Tahiti who came in
second.
Over 1,000 other paddlers, hailing from Japan, Canada, New Zealand,
Australia, California and across Hawaii,
crossed the 41-mile course in 104 teams.
Camaraderie is what makes this
race special, veteran paddler Cy A.K.
Kalama said after blessing the paddlers
with a mele. “[It’s about] the fellowship,
the spirit. Just to be able to honor the ancestors… they came here on canoes.”
Shell Va`a would like to thank “the
wonderful people of Molokai, the supporters and the kindness” extended to the team
each year.
Happy Campers

in an outdoor environment. In addition to
filming and editing their own videos – Rogers’ friends were filming their own “Man
vs. Wild” spinoff, called “Kids vs. Wild”
– keiki went kayaking, took nature walks
and learned about native species.
As young as 4 and as old as 12, they
also created arts and crafts, participated in
drum circles and more at a shoreline property in Mapulehu.
“You get to hang out with your
friends. We sometimes do comedy,” said
Rogers’ friend and fellow filmmaker, Ilima
Kaawa. “It shows how fun it is” to learn
about media.
“You get to fully express yourself,”
added Tadeu Lima. “You can do whatever
– make videos with your friends.”
MAMA founder Alestra Menendez
conceived the idea for the weeklong camp
last year, when she held a similar program
during the summer. The goal, she said, is to
give keiki an educational outlet to express
themselves, minimizing structure for maximum fun and learning.
Menendez, a teacher on Molokai for
10 years, hopes to host similar camps with a
variety of focuses in the future; last week’s
media theme evolved when another parent, Genesis Lodise, offered his film and
video experience. Daniel Emhoff, education director of Akaku Maui Community
Television, donated the video recording
and editing equipment – and will feature
some of the students’ work on TV.
Even during a lunch break last week,
students were eager to return to learning
about media – grabbing some of the iPod
touches and lenses to continue filming.
“They’re so spontaneous… That’s
what they want to be doing,” Menendez
said as keiki filmed each other in a sea of
mangrove. “They like it when it’s on their
own terms.”

Corrections
In the Oct. 5 issue of The Molokai Dispatch, Sprint Nextel Hawaii’s county special use
(CUP) and special management area minor permits were incorrectly identified as
expired. The company’s permits were in good standing; Sprint Nextel requested an
amendment to the CUP to place antennae on the Lucy Wilhelm Center in slightly different locations.
Also in the Oct. 5 issue of The Molokai Dispatch, a touchdown scored by the Molokai
High School club football team in its game at St. Anthony Oct. 1 was incorrectly credited. Kaloko Akina returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown in the Farmers’ 54-22 win.
The Dispatch regrets the errors.

Volleyball Struggles,
Looks Ahead

T
he Molokai High School (MHS)
girls’ volleyball team hit a tough
stretch last week, losing back-toback games to visiting Hana a week
after suffering their first Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) loss in years.
Hana swept Saturday’s matchup
at the MHS Barn (25-21, 25-19, 25-15)
after taking a 3-1 win Friday night (2624, 22-25, 25-11, 25-16).
On Sept. 30, host Seabury snapped
the Farmers’ MIL unbeaten streak dating back to 2007 with a nail-biting
five-set match (23-25, 25-17, 19-25, 2517, 15-10).
However, the Farmers earned a
win Oct. 1, sweeping host Maui Prep
(25-13, 25-11, 25-20). Their MIL record
stands at 5-3 as they look forward to a
trip to Maui this weekend, when they
revisit Seabury (Oct. 14, 6 p.m.) and
Maui Prep (Oct. 15, 6 p.m.).
Head coach Matt Helm said his
players’ effort showed at times during
their struggles last weekend, but lapses in communication left the Farmers
open to Hana’s attack.
“Our inexperience really showed
today,” he said Saturday, referring to his
team’s youth – including nine new players this season and only three seniors.
One of those seniors, outside hitter Natalia Levi, suffered a broken foot

in the first set Friday night, rendering
her unable to play for the remainder of
the season.
Despite the losses, several players
tallied impressive stats against Hana.
Leenell Hernandez (13 kills, 10 digs,
1 block), Shaniah Mollena-Lopez (9
assists) and Carol Kahee (9 digs) excelled on Saturday, while Hernandez
(14 kills) and Lehiwa Pedro (6 kills)
stood out Friday.
Helm said he and his squad will
work on a different lineup this week
and improving court communication
as they continue to defend their state
championship title.
MoHS Quarterly Board
of Directors Meeting
Molokai Humane Society News Release
O
n Tuesday, Oct. 18 in the Mitchell Pauole Center conference
room at 5 p.m., the Molokai
Humane Society (MoHS) board of directors will be holding a public meeting. Please note that the date of the
meeting has changed to Oct. 18 due to
availability of meeting space. These
meetings are held quarterly and offer
the community a chance to hear what
MoHS has been working on and the
upcoming goals for the organization.
Every board of directors meeting
has the same basic agenda: Roll call,
approval of minutes, president report,
treasurer report, executive director report, old business and new business.
These meetings are restricted to one
hour in length and are open to the
public.
This coming meeting will include
a special community forum section at
the end of the regular agenda that will
be limited to an additional hour. This
will be a chance for community members to speak to the board of directors
and executive director. Community
members will be given two minutes to
speak and need to provide their questions and/or comments in writing to
the board prior to speaking. It will also
be helpful if each person planning to
speak attends the entire board meeting, as it is likely that we may address
their topic of interest as part of our
regular agenda.
According to our by-laws, generally only members of MoHS have
privilege of the floor, granting them
the chance to speak at board meetings. However, for this community forum section we will open the floor to
all community members. Any person
who is not currently on the membership list but believes that they should
be will have the opportunity to be added to the current membership list upon
proof of a membership dues receipt
dated within the last calendar year or
payment of membership dues.
Come to our board of directors
meeting and hear about all the wonderful things happening for the animals of Molokai, including the hiring
of the organization’s very first onisland veterinarian who will start on
Oct 31.
If you have a question you would
like to send to the board prior to the
meeting, you may email molokaihumanesociety@gmail.com or mail
in your question to P.O. BOX 1258,

W
ith anticipation and sadness,
the Office of Hawaiian Affairs
(OHA) Board of Trustees announces today it will begin the search
for a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
OHA’s current CEO, Clyde Namu`o, will
be leaving OHA on Dec. 30. The process
to initiate a search for a new CEO is anticipated to unfold over the course of the
next three to five months.
On Sept. 1, a news article reported
Namu`o was not expected to renew
his contract, which is due to expire on
July 31, 2012. Speaking on behalf of
the OHA Trustees, Chairperson Colette
Machado said, “We are very grateful to
Mr. Namu`o for providing professional,
decisive and inspirational leadership
for OHA, throughout a 10-year period
of steady and remarkable growth. In
serving our beneficiaries, Mr. Namu`o
has always exhibited the best qualities
of public service – unwavering commitment, compassion, trustworthiness,
loyalty and professionalism.”
Chair Machado also noted, “When
Mr. Namu`o assumed the role of administrator in 2001, OHA stood on very shaky
ground. He walked into an office that our
Native Hawaiian beneficiaries looked
upon with suspicion, skepticism and mistrust. Namu`o was largely responsible for
changing this around by taking to heart
the principles of pono and aloha – justice
and fairness, integrity, unequaled courtesy, generosity and spirited leadership.”
During Namu`o’s administration,
OHA clarified its internal fiscal and personnel operations and adopted and implemented spending and investment policies. The agency fulfilled the goals of one
strategic plan period and has adopted a
strategic plan for the next five years.
Reflecting upon the accomplishments of the past 10 years, Namu`o
said, “[It] has been a time of significant
change for OHA as indicated in part, for
example, by the increase of the operating
budget from $12 million to over $30 million a year. I thank the OHA Trustees for
giving me the opportunity to serve our
beneficiaries with expanded services and
programs and a more effective and clearly defined role as an advocate for Native
Hawaiians.”
Namu`o added, “After all we
have achieved, it is time for me to step
down and pursue other endeavors
and interests.”
The Asset Resource Management
(ARM) Committee will be responsible for
carrying out the recruitment process for
the new CEO and will submit its recommendations for approval to the full board,
which will make the final decision. The
board will also appoint an interim CEO
by the end of this year.

Stay E. Coli Safe
By Molokai Oompa Loompas
H
i my name is Momi Afelin. I
am writing on behalf of my
Molokai robotics team. We are
working on educating our community
on safe food preparation. This week's
article is on Escherichia Coli O157:H7.
While most strains of E. coli are harmless, this specific strain is very common in the U.S. and can cause severe
diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fevers. E. coli is predominantly found
in cattle. Food materials are often
contaminated when the food comes
in contact with a microscopic amount
of feces. The most effective method
of preventing E. coli contamination
is to cook your meats to an internal
temperature of 160 F. Another way
to avoid being affected by E. coli is to
simply wash your hands for 20 seconds with warm water before touching food. The Molokai Oompa Loompas hope you stay E. coli safe.
All information provided on E. coli is
supported by information found on the CDC
website.

“He touched each and every one of our
hearts.”
“We grew up with him as kids… [and]
the man he grew up to be is unbelievable,”
added Dela Cruz.
Officer Scott Nakasone, a friend of
Fontes’ in the police department, recalled
how Fontes would always have an encouraging word or offer of help for those struggling in their recruit class, and how he “always had a prayer in case none of the above
was working for you.”
“He wore his heart and his faith on his
sleeve and he would give you that same
shirt off his back,” said Nakasone.
More than 20 members Honolulu and
Maui County Police Departments gave him
full honors, and Fontes was laid to rest at
the Kanakaloloa Cemetery in Ho`olehua.
Protecting Resources
Along with limiting overfishing during canoe races, some residents shared
worries about outsider overfishing in
general. Some recommended designating
the entire island as a sustenance fishing
zone based on a model currently used at
Mo`omomi – a process that would take
several years of hearings and procedure.
Others advocated simple steps in
the meantime, including moving the lobster season back by one week so it doesn’t
overlap with Labor Day weekend and
thereby decreasing the rush to the ocean,
or expanding Molokai’s existing marine
life conservation district.
“Molokai can make the case that
[subsistence fishing is] a lot more significant” than on other islands, Aila said after the meeting.
Other issues included allowing
residents to restore exposed graves in
Mana`e, which Aila said he would directly address with the Burial Council during
a return visit he’s planning in November;
fixing the water supply so that new water
meters may be allowed in East Molokai;
supporting the Molokai Invasive Species
Committee and Plant Extinction Prevention Program; removing asbestos from
the old Coast Guard stations at Ilio Point;
and formalizing DLNR outreach with
`Aha Ki`ole.

“Molokai is Eric’s hometown and

Kealoha. “The community instilled the integrity and values he carried with him.”
He said Fontes was “admired by
many for his strong conviction and belief,”
and voted most inspirational in his recruit
class.
Gov. Abercrombie sent his condolences, saying in a letter, Fontes “demonstrated
the best principals of the beloved people of
Molokai.”
Fontes’ Molokai High School class of

Bye-bye Brushfire

rews successfully removed
more than 9,800 flammable
plants and bushes from Kalaupapa National Park (KNHP)
last month in an effort to prevent
brushfires. Flown in from Hawaii
Volcanoes National Park, about 10
workers focused on invasive species including Christmas berry, lantana and java plum within 100 feet
of structures. The project was the
first of its kind in KNHP in a century, helping to restore the settlement
to what it looked like in the early
1900s before invasive species became
overgrown and endangered the settlement’s residents, graves and historic structures. At its monthly community meeting Sept. 13, residents
thanked workers and project leader
Paul Hosten, terrestrial ecologist for
the National Park Service, for their
efforts.

Who is the Cooperative?
By Glenn I. Teves, County Extension Agent
A
gricultural cooperatives are unique
among organizations because they were
formed under federal and
state law to give farmers
a competitive advantage
in buying supplies, processing and marketing their products. It allows farmers
to come together and develop an infrastructure that each individual farmer
couldn’t afford to construct by themselves. We have two agricultural cooperatives on Molokai, Hikiola and Molokai
Livestock Cooperative.
Hikiola Cooperative was formed in
1976 by fledgling Ho`olehua homestead
farmers. Anticipating the closure of
pineapple production on Molokai, and
seeing the need to start farming their
homesteads individually, they knew access to affordable farming supplies was
a vital component to farming. Prior to
this, a breakdown in your farm operation could force you to fly to Honolulu to
pick up key parts or risk losing the crop.
First organized as a supply and marketing cooperative, Hikiola shifted to
making supplies available. Hikiola has
undergone major changes during its history, weathering many storms, including
a downsizing about 20 years ago.
Without Hikiola, small farmers
would have a very difficult time starting
up. Hikiola has extended credit to worthy
members, which comes in handy when
expanding operations or when money
is tied up in the field until harvest. The
purpose of a supply cooperative is to order supplies for farmer-members based
on their requests. Although Hikiola is
not a store, it appears to have morphed
into one based on the needs of farmermembers and the greater community.
However, anytime a product is sitting on
the shelf, it’s not making money and is
losing money. By cooperative law, over
50 percent of the purchases must come
from the members, and this has been a
challenge in some years as more people,
including construction companies, depend on Hikiola for key supplies.
Cooperatives are operated on an
at-cost basis as opposed to non-profit or
for-profit. This means that any income
over and above the cost of operation is
allocated back to the members based on
patronage, called patronage refunds. Patronage refunds can be used to expand
the cooperative. In this way, the cooperative can borrow its own money instead
of taking out a loan. If the cooperative no
longer needs the money, it can allocate
this money back to the members. Only
members are eligible for patronage refunds.
Who is the cooperative? The cooperative is made up of farmer-members
who elect board members who hire a
manager. The board approves the budget, and the manager executes on this
budget and also hires staff to provide the
services. We, as members, are the cooperative. I’ve heard members question,
“What is the cooperative doing for me?”
The right question should be, “What can
I do for the cooperative so it can better
assist me?” Presently, aside from the
board of directors, very few members
are involved in assuring the success of
the cooperative. This is not how it should
operate. Members may have good ideas
on how to improve the cooperative, and
can attend monthly board of directors
meetings or even volunteer to be on a
special committee. Each member makes
up the cooperative; there’s no entity out
there that stands alone called Hikiola
Cooperative.
As members, we are each responsible to help the cooperative function efficiently so the cooperative can keep us
on the farm. I can only imagine how it
would be if Hikiola Cooperative was no
longer operating. It would be a sad day
for small farmers, and the community
who benefit greatly from it.

Naturally Speaking

A
ll natural, no artificial
ingredients,
go green, save the
Nauga, boycott naugahyde.
These, among sundry other
sayings, are the message of
the moment. The question
one should ask is, are there any totally
artificial or man-made ingredients? Every substance, ingredient, part, coloring,
chemical, additive and anything you
have ever eaten, drank, wore, put on your
hair, your feet, had its origin in nature.
This is not to say all things in nature are safe and good for you. There are
many elements in the natural world that,
if not respected, are decidedly deadly
dangerous. Throughout human history,

man has taken many parts of the natural world and extracted, diluted, concentrated, manipulated, isolated, folded,
spindled and mutilated, all supposedly
to make our world safer, easier and taste
better. The point is, everything is, in essence, all natural. Humans can create
nothing, except for possibly chaos. Truly
organic foods are usually better for us;
we do not need various pesticides, herbicides, mildewcides and all the other cides
floating around in our bodies. Genetically modified foods have shown to be,
at times, deleterious to both the plant and
animal kingdoms alike, including one
of the most fragile of animals, humans;
plant pollen should not kill butterflies,
it’s not natural!
All this, hopefully, has been food for
thought (albeit, all natural, organically
grown, non-gmo, green technology food
for thought). One of the most all natural
elements that any of us can partake of
and enjoy is right outside our doors, the
island we call home, Molokai. In our next
several articles, we will be examining
some of the natural treasures of this jewel
in the Pacific. The real and the true, natural Molokai. Aloha Ke Akua.

Public Hearing Notice
The Hawaii Public Utilities Commission will hold public hearings on
Maui Electric Company’s application for a rate increase in 2012.
The public hearings will be held as follows:

The request is for a net increase of 6.7%, or $27.5 million in revenues.
The requested increase would help pay for operations and maintenance
costs to maintain reliability and to safely and reliably integrate existing
and future renewable energy resources. The increase would also help
pay for more than $80 million in capital improvements to be completed
in 2011 and 2012 on Maui, Molokai and Lanai.
If approved, any potential rate increase would not go into effect until
mid-2012 at the earliest.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS
APPLICATION OF MAUI ELECTRIC COMPANY, LIMITED
FOR APPROVAL OF RATE INCREASES AND
REVISED RATE SCHEDULES AND RULES
DOCKET NO. 2011-0092
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, pursuant to Hawaii Revised
Statutes §§ 269-12 and 269-16, the STATE OF HAWAII PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION (“Commission”) will hold public hearings relating to
the Application of MAUI ELECTRIC COMPANY, LIMITED ("MECO"),
filed on July 22, 2011, for Commission approval of rate increases and revised rate schedules and rules ("Application"). The public hearings will be
held as follows:
Tuesday, October 18, 2011, 6:00 p.m.
Maui Waena Intermediate School Cafeteria
795 Onehee Avenue
Kahului, Maui 96732

MECO is the franchised provider of electric utility service for the
County of Maui. MECO proposes an across-the-board rate increase in its
various customer classes of approximately 6.7% over revenues at current
effective rates. In particular, the increase is requested to help recover operating, maintenance and capital costs to maintain and improve reliability of
service and to help safely and reliably integrate more renewable energy. In
addition, if not already approved in Docket No. 2009-0163, MECO’s 2010
test year rate case, MECO proposes to: (1) establish a purchased power
adjustment clause/surcharge to recover non-energy purchased power
agreement costs by effectively transferring the recovery of purchased power costs from base rates to the new surcharge that will be adjusted monthly
and reconciled on a quarterly basis; (2) implement a revenue balancing
account tariff for a revenue decoupling mechanism that will remove the
linkage between electric revenues and sales; and (3) implement a revenue
adjustment mechanism tariff (with certain proposed modifications).
MECO proposed rate schedules include: (1) the elimination of
Schedule H, Schedule U, and Schedule N; (2) the modification to Schedule
TOU-R; and (3) the change in Schedule F fixture charges. As part of its
Application, MECO also proposes to: (1) revise its energy cost adjustment clause tariff to change the target heat rates by fuel type, apply heat
rate deadbands and establish conditions for changing the target heat rates;
and (2) implement a change in accounting for administrative and general
(“A&G”) transfers to construction projects based on the methodology
recommended in a recent review of MECO’s A&G expenses.
For any increases in MECO's rates and charges ultimately approved by the Commission, the total revenue requirement for the January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 test year will not exceed the increase in
revenues of $27,523,000 (approximately 6.7%) over current effective rates,
as set forth in MECO's Application. However, the increases in MECO's
rates and charges to be finally approved by the Commission, if any, may
be higher or lower than the proposed rates and charges noted in MECO's
Application.
MECO's Application is available for review through the Commission's
electronic Document Management System, accessible at the following
website address: http://dms.puc.hawaii.gov/dms/. In addition, copies of
MECO's Application and supporting documents are available for public

Free Will Astrology
By Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19): If it’s at all possible, Aries, don’t
hang around boring people this week. Seek out the company
of adventurers who keep you guessing and unruly talkers who
incite your imagination and mystery-lovers who are always on
the lookout for new learning experiences. For that matter, treat
yourself to especially interesting food, perceptions, and sensations. Take new and different routes to familiar hotspots. Even
better, find fresh hotspots. Cultivating novelty is your mandate
right now. Outgrowing your habits would be wise, fun, and
cool. Changing your mind is a luxury you need and deserve.
surplus of unimaginative band names. At this year’s SXSW
music festival in Austin, he counted six different bands that
used “Bear” and two with “Panda.” Seven bands had “Gold,”
including Golden Bear. Marshmallow Ghosts was one of seven
bands with “Ghost” in their names. You’re in a phase of your life
when it’s especially important not to be a slave of the trends,
Libra -- a time when it’s crucial to your well-being to come
up with original language, unique descriptions, and fresh approaches. So what would your band’s name be? (tinyurl.com/
BadNamesForBands)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “My grandfather always said
that living is like licking honey off a thorn,” wrote the Slovenian
American author Louis Adamic. That’s true enough. Here’s the
thing, though: If you manage to get a smooth thorn without
any prickles (like on certain hawthorn trees), the only risk is
when you’re licking the honey close to the sharp end. Otherwise, as your tongue makes its way up the sleek surface of the
rest of the thorn, you’re fine -- no cuts, no pain. According to
my analysis, Taurus, you have just finished your close encounter with the sharp point of a smooth thorn. Now the going will
be easier.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ve got to cry one more tear
before the pungent comedy will deliver its ultimate lesson and
leave you in peace. You’ve got to make one further promise
to yourself before you will be released from the twilight area
where pain and pleasure became so tangled. You’ve got to
navigate your way through one more small surrender before
you will be cleared to hunt down your rebirth in earnest. But
meanwhile, the catharses and epiphanies just keep on erupting. You’re growing more soulful and less subject to people’s
delusions by the minute. Your rather unconventional attempts
at healing are working -- maybe not as rapidly as you’d like, but
still, they are working.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): On the front of every British
passport is an image that includes a chained unicorn standing
up on its two hind legs. It’s a central feature of the coat of arms
of the United Kingdom. I would love to see you do something
as wacky as that in the coming week, Gemini -- you know,
bring elements of fantasy and myth and imagination into
some official setting. It would, I believe, put you in sweet alignment with current cosmic rhythms. (P.S. If you decide to invoke
the archetype of the unicorn, unchain it.)
CANCER (June 21-July 22): I’ve come across two definitions of the slang term “cameling up.” One source says it means
filling yourself with thirst-quenching liquid before heading
out to a hot place on a hot day. A second source says it means
stuffing yourself with a giant meal before going out on a binge
of drinking alcohol, because it allows you to get drunk more
slowly. For your purposes, Cancerian, I’m proposing a third,
more metaphorical nuance to “cameling up.” Before embarking on a big project to upgrade your self-expression -- quite
possibly heroic and courageous -- I suggest you camel up by
soaking in an abundance of love and support from people
whose nurturing you savor.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I love Adele’s voice. The megafamous British pop singer has a moving, virtuoso instrument
-- technically perfect, intriguingly soulful, capable of expressing a range of deep emotion, strong in both her high and low
registers. And yet there’s not a single song she does that I find
interesting. The lyrics are cliched or immature, the melodies are
mostly uninspired, and the arrangements are standard fare.
Does what I’m describing remind you of anything in your own
life, Leo? A situation you half-love and are half-bored by? An
experience that is so good in some ways and so blah in other
ways? If so, what can you do about it? You may be able to improve things if you act soon.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There’s a good chance that you
will soon find something you lost a while back. It may even be
the case that you will recover an asset you squandered or you’ll
revive a dream that was left for dead. To what do you owe the
pleasure of this blessing? Here’s what I think: The universe is
rewarding you for the good work you’ve done lately on taking better care of what’s important to you. You’re going to be
shown how much grace is available when you live your life in
rapt alignment with your deepest, truest values.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “The artist’s job is not to
succumb to despair, but to find an antidote to the emptiness
of existence.” So says the Gertrude Stein character in Woody
Allen’s film Midnight in Paris. As an aspiring master of crafty
optimism myself, I don’t buy the notion that existence is inherently empty. I do, however, wish that more artists would
be motivated by the desire to create cures for the collective
malaise that has haunted every historical era, including ours.
In alignment with your current astrological omens, I invite
you to take up this noble task yourself in the coming weeks,
whether or not you’re an artist. You now have much more than
your usual power to inspire and animate others.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The world-famous whiskey
known as Jack Daniel’s is produced in Moore County, Tennessee, which prohibits the sale of alcohol in stores and restaurants. So you can’t get a drink of the stuff in the place where it’s
made. I suspect there’s a comparable situation going on in your
life, Aquarius. Maybe something you’re good at isn’t appreciated by those around you. Maybe a message you’re broadcasting or a gift you’re offering gets more attention at a distance
than it does up close. Is there anything you can do about that?
The coming weeks would be a good time to try.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Once you drive your car into
Norway’s Laerdal Tunnel, you’re in for a long haul through the
murk. The light at the end doesn’t start appearing until you’ve
traveled almost 14 miles. Using this as a metaphor for your life
in the here and now, I estimate that you’re at about the 12-mile
mark. Keep the faith, Pisces. It’s a straight shot from here. Can
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Chris Richards wrote a story you think of any cheerful tunes you could sing at the top of your
in the Washington Post in which he complained about the lungs?
English: Woolgathering
DEFINITION: indulgence in idle daydreaming
EXAMPLE: He was woolgathering throughout the semester and failed all
his classes.
hawaiian: makalapua
DEFINITION: u`i, nohea
TRANSLATION: beautiful
EXAMPLE: He wahine makalapua ko ko`u hoa mama.
TRANSLATION: My firend’s mom is beautiful.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Most people who profess a deep love of the Bible have never actually read the book,”
says religious writer Rami Shapiro. If they did, they’d know that
Satan is not implicated as the tempter of Adam and Eve. There’s
no mention of three wise men coming to see baby Jesus, nor of
a whale swallowing Jonah. Homilies like “This too shall pass”
and “God helps those who help themselves” never appear in
the scriptures. And contrary to the Ayn Rand-style self-reliance
that evangelicals think is a central theme of their holy book,
the Bible’s predominant message is that goodness is measured
by what one does for others. I bring this up as a teaching about
how not to proceed in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. You really
do need to know a lot about the texts and ideas and people
and situations upon which you base your life. (tinyurl.com/

What’s Up Maunaloa
Column by Aunty Keahu
I
n this article your roving reporter would
like to pay a special
tribute to someone I
didn't know. The purpose
of my article is to give back some dignity to a man that was found dead in a
little shack across the swimming pool
and had to be buried that very day he
was found. No family member could
be contacted. He probably was a father, a husband, a grandpa, an uncle
or a brother who chose our beautiful
island of Molokai to call his home and
his last resting place. So let me begin
by sharing what I may have known
about this slim "haole" man who carried a guitar on his back and who
walked Kaunakakai town periodically. He may have been a homeless
person but he used to hang around

ello veterans,
old Jesse here
with all the
veterans’ news and upcoming events. In the
Navy and Coast Guard,
officers and enlisted service members facing a non-judicial punishment (NJP) disciplinary hearing are said to be headed to
“captain’s mast.” Why is that? It dates to
the days of sail, when crews would gather under a ships mainmast, according to
Naval History and Heritage Command.
The commanding officer would speak
to the crew, holding ceremonies under
the mainmast regularly often on Sunday
morning before a religious service. The
ceremony became referred to as “mast”
because of its location, and the disciplinary hearing for NJP subsequently
became known as a captain’s mast or, if
overseen by an admiral, an admiral mast
or flag mast.
The Navy’s sub fleet entered the nuclear age Sept. 20, 1954, when the service
commissioned its first nuclear-powered
submarine. The service was able to produce Nautilus thanks to the development of a nuclear propulsion plant by
Navy scientists, according to the Submarine Force Museum in Groton, Conn.
The 319-foot sub could dive to 700 feet
and stay underwater for more than two
weeks, a far cry from the 12 to 48 hours
that World War II subs could remain submerged. Nautilus quickly became a star
in the sub fleet, shattering a number of
submerged speed and distance records.
It also became the first ship to ever cross
the North Pole in 1958, during a top secret mission dubbed Operation Sunshine.
Nautilus was decommissioned in March,
1980, after 26 years of service and more
than 500,000 miles. The historic sub is on
display at the Submarine Force Museum
and is Connecticut’s state ship.
The Veterans Affairs Department
(VA) now offers phone counseling for
veterans’ family members and friends
to help them encourage their loved ones
to get medical and mental health care if
needed. The “Coaching into Care” service, run by professional counselors,
helps callers “find the right words” to
convince their veterans to seek help, according to VA. A pilot program launched
last year as “Families at Ease” helped 50
veterans and family members in its first
year. Rebranded in March as “Coaching into Care,” the service has drawn 650
calls and helped 175 veterans, according
to VA. Coaching into Care is available
from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through
Friday at 888-823-7458. The line is connected with the VA Veterans Crisis Line,
Caregiver Support Line and the National
Call Center for Homeless Veterans in
case of an immediate crisis, and veterans
who need immediate help anytime can
dial the VA Crisis Line at 800-273-8255.
Rosalie Schreiber, the nurse practitioner that has been coming to Molokai
through the Home Based Primary Care
Program, has been re-assigned. Our
new nurse practitioner is Kate HansenSchmitt. She will be taking over all of
Rosalie’s duties here and see the veterans
that Rosalie was helping. You can reach
Kate at 808-442-2001, email Katrina.hansen-schmitt@va.gov, or 808-871-2454, ext.
3696.
Don’t forget our essay contest,
“What does being an American mean to
you?” Send your entries via email to editor@themolokaidispatch.com, and good
luck to all. Please let’s not forget our
men and women in uniform around the
world, especially those in harm’s way,
and all they do for us. When you’re out
and about and you see a veteran, thank
them for their service, it would make
their day. To all our active duty military
personnel, our veterans at home, and
all the people of Molokai we send a big
Mahalo, for you all are truly very special,
and I love all. If anyone has any news,
or wants to talk, or needs help, give old
Jesse a call at 553-3323.

W
hen you turn on Kolapa Street
past the community swimming
pool, do you get da urge to turn
right at da entrance shaded by two big
shady trees on each side? It’s da entrance to
the Home Pumehana residence, a home of
our kupuna. It houses the oldies but goodies. Singles and couples alike live a unique
lifestyle that is pleasant and full of aloha.
They are allowed to grow plants outside
the units to enhance the living space. If
there were no plants for kupuna to plant,
you can imagine how empty all the front
yards would look. The majority at Home
Pumehana know who their neighbors are,
so there’s no loneliness, being alone, depression or emptiness. You can see sharing,
helping, hookipa, laulima, lokahi, kupono,
alu alu, etc. On certain days of each month,
the hall for events serve lunch so that more
socializing takes place. On these days, the
ohana of residents residing outside are welcomed to eat, visit friends and relatives. To
me, Monday, Wednesday and Friday bring
added events to the hall; ukulele, hula ha-
T
laus and classes from outside community
use the hall for practice making free entertainment possible for all in the complex!
At the same time, there is peace and
quiet for residents who choose to make
use of time enjoying the quiet lifestyle, too.
Individuals with health issues also have a
place in Home Pumehana. I observe caregivers, housekeeping and medical staff
from our General Hospital catering to
many clients. If there were a contest held
for best grounds keeping, the crew there
would win hands down. Same for maintenance employees. Both of the departments
come to beautify this complex from the
major community outside. One day in my
retirement, Home Pumehana will be my
choice.
Yes, this is certainly a community
within the community. Gmail me at naniuikoupua@gmail.com and give me feedback on your mana`o about dis place.

specific, that is to say, if you took that same
problem to another community, others may
not see it as a problem. I deal with manufactured problems by calling “foul” and
moving forward. It is the same notion as a
football player stepping out of bounds; the
play is over. We all have the right to ignore
manufactured problems, calling foul, and
moving on. The world bombards us with
problems we struggle to work through and
we certainly do not need to indulge those
producing self-serving, manufactured
problems.

Just Another Day
By Christy LenWai – Kaiama
Up at 4, 6:30 out the door
Open up at 6, making coffee
For Uncle’s fix, filling up the ice
Sometimes the customers are nice
Standing on my feet, feeling the heat
Trying to get people food to eat
Working up a sweat, walking back and
forth
Trying to remember, what everything is
worth
People come, people go, some you know,
some you don’t
It’s an emotional drama, trying to be a
good momma
Sometimes you don’t really wanna, but
you gotta
Try to make the best of some of the worst
Things in life has for you
Just try and try to continue!
Rise and shine, get ready for work
The same routine 5 days a week
Even on weekends, it’s hard to stop.
You wake up the same time, every day, on
the dot.
Touch money, carry ice, make coffee, try
to be nice.
It only takes one to make your day
Sometimes good for the rest of the day
On my feet 8 hours a day
No break, sometimes no eat,
Back and forth, “no way” could you handle
In the “high Heat Degrees”
Trying to get people what they want “to
be pleased”
It’s really hard sometimes to “smile ”
And “walk” and “sweat” and “hold up”
the whole while
I’d like to see you try
To be the super guy, like “we really try”
Then only then you will see why
After that, go home, not done yet
But “lot’s to do” waiting at home “for you”
The animals, the laundry
And dinner to make
When “oh when, will I be cut a break!?”
I didn’t eat yet but I could eat a horse!
But no strength left, of course!
Carry on! Or fall in bed?
Take a bath and rest my head
Close my eyes and wake then its dark
Stomach still growling, I fumble about
A few more hours to rest the nite away
Only to wake up again, to start another day.
Same routine different day, here we go again!
Hip Hip Hooray!

he world challenges us with choke
burdens such as tsunamis, plane

Difficulties abound even when good communities such as Molokai pull together to
help one another. We most certainly do not
need to put up with additional, manufactured problems. Manufactured problems
are created by those who wish to impose
their will on others and gain leverage in
order to feel empowered. I am a strong
believer in taking complex situations and
rendering them down to the simplest form.
