aking tests does not have to be the
bane of students’ lives – in fact, a
new program on Molokai may
show that regular assessment tests can
help students learn more efficiently. Most
Molokai public school students this year
will take monthly benchmark tests in
reading and math, as educators attempt
to better track their progress and improve
their Hawaii State Assessment (HSA)
scores.
The benchmarks are the result of a
new year-to-year contract with the Hawaii EDISON Alliance, a subgroup of the
EdisonLearning company. The Alliance
partners with Hawaiian schools struggling to meet national testing standards,
and attempts to raise students’ scores
through
professional
development,
achievement systems and more, according to its website.
The monthly benchmark tests will
be administered through a computer program during 45-minute periods. Once a
student scores proficient on the test, he
or she is exempted from re-taking the test
for the rest of that year. That provides incentive for students to study and exceed
on the tests, according to Alliance’s Vice
President of Educational Services (VPES)
Tom Ekno, who spoke at last week’s
Molokai High School Community Council (MHSCC) meeting.
Teachers will be able to login to the
computer program and analyze the results in such a way that they can “drill
down to specific skills with each specific
child,” Ekno said.
Additionally, students will be able to
see their scores as soon as they finish the
test. Social sciences teacher Laura Buller
said the immediacy of the results encourages students to do better.
“They’re way more interested in the
test and that’s important. They see improvement and that makes them happy,”
she said at the meeting.
“I’m hopeful” that the partnership
and benchmarks will improve students’
HSA scores, said Molokai High School
(MHS) senior Eescha-Charyya DudoitAlapai, the MHSCC student representative. “It’s something to look forward to.”
Partnering Up
On Molokai, all schools will receive
weekly support visits from Ekno. MHS
and Molokai Middle School will also receive curriculum support from two Alliance directors – one specializing in math,
and one in reading – a minimum of four
times per month.
During the visits, Alliance staff will
host one-on-one coaching sessions with
teachers, direct leadership meetings with
school staff, assist in the distribution of
the benchmark tests, and more.
The directors also plan to provide
curriculum support to Kaunakakai, Kilohana and Maunaloa elementary schools
as a team, according to EdisonLearning
Hawaii Senior Vice President Babette
Moreno.
At the MHSCC meeting last week,
Moreno said the Alliance team aims to
“be here for three years.” In an email, she
said their general goals are lowering the
number of non-proficient students by 10
percent in each category.
Alliance staff members are currently
observing MHS classrooms, Ekno said.
Although the observers are not yet interacting with the classes, Dudoit-Alapai
said students are taking notice.
Ekno, who is one of the observers,
stressed that the Alliance will work in
partnership with teachers – not as their
managers.
“We’re not here to tell you everything must be done this way,” he told educators at the MHSCC meeting. “There’s
a deep rich history at this school that you
respect. … What you’ve been doing for
three years, five years, 10 years has value.

olokai firefighters responded to
three brush fires last Tuesday – for
a total of five fires on the island
within five days. Two fires burned over
20 acres along Maunaloa Highway three
miles west of Kaunakakai Tuesday afternoon, causing a temporarily loss of phone
and 911 service. Later that day, firefighters
responded to a third, smaller blaze near the
highway in west Molokai. Previously, on
Thursday, Aug. 18, firefighters responded to two small
fires also reported back to
back, according to Molokai
Fire Captain Travis Tancayo.
Local fire officials
said they believe all five
fires may have been set intentionally.
The first fire Tuesday
was reported about 1:30
p.m. and burned 5,000
square feet just west of
Hawaiian Research facilities. The second
fire, reported within minutes of the first,
burned about 20 acres nearby. Traffic was
stopped on Maunaloa Highway for about
one hour.
Because of rapid fire team response
and favorable winds, the pair of fires
Tuesday were contained within two
hours, according to Molokai Fire Inspector Rick Schonely.
“If we had had regular trade winds
that day, we could still be fighting it,”
Schonely said on Friday.
All Molokai units and a total of 22
firefighters responded to the pair of fires,
with air support from a Maui helicopter.
Crews were also were assisted by the
county Public Works Department and the

really like gardening, and they’re excited to do so during school as one of their
exploratory “wheel” classes. The class

While no buildings were affected, fire
damaged two fiber optic cables that provide phone service to much of the island,
according to Hawaiian Telcom spokesperson Ann Nishida Fry. Phone service was
lost until about 2:30 a.m. the next morning,
while teams worked in dark and smoky
conditions to cut out sections of the cable
and splice in new fiber optics.
Access to 911 service
was also disconnected for
about 45 minutes, during
which time emergency
calls were routed through
Maui. Tancayo said the
outage resulted in delayed
response for at least one
Molokai 911 medical call.
Some Internet and cell
phone service were also temporarily lost.
A third small brush fire Tuesday was
reported around 6:30 p.m. at mile marker
14 west, just before Kaluakoi Road.
The previous week’s two fires burned
about 3,000 square feet each, reported back
to back Aug. 18. Firefighters responded to
one on the forest road near Homelani Cemetery, and a second on Kalae Highway before Kualapuù, according to Tancayo.
A joint investigation by the fire and
police departments of all five fires is continuing. Officials ask residents to report
any suspicious activity.
Tancayo said he believes the fires
may have been set with malicious intent
because of the consecutive nature of the
reports on both days.
Through the class, students practice general learner outcomes, which are
non-academic skills like leadership and
community contribution.
“We learn hard work,” Noah
Kaàhanui said last week. He and a
handful of students used hoes and shovels to clear grass and weeds from a plot
of land toward the back of MMS campus, where students will build a tiered
grove for different vegetables. Behind
Mowat’s classroom, another group of
students shoveled composted soil into
a blue wheelbarrow, which was brought

f you ask Max Agan, more slow is
mo’ bettah.
“Driving and going fast is a
state of mind,” he said. “People are in a
rush to go nowhere.”
Good thing for him and wife Joyce
Agan, they have one of the slowest cars
around – and one of the coolest. The
couple had their 1930 Ford Model A
shipped from California to Molokai last
week, and the antique beauty maxes
out around 45 mph.
No need to go any faster, according
to Max, who plans to use the Model A
as his primary mode of transportation.
Driving around Kaunakakai last week,
the car was already building up a buzz.
“I call it the smile machine,” Max
said, “because what it does is it brings
back memories. People tell you stories
like you wouldn’t believe.”
In addition to smiles, the car –
named Emily – also brings the couple
savings. Equipped with an original
four-cylinder Ford engine, the Model A
takes regular gas and can achieve up to
48 miles per gallon.
Part of the savings is in the slowness, Max said. Staying below 45 mph
means the engine isn’t working too
hard, he said, thus saving gas in any
car. With the Model A, that’s the only
option.
The couple sought the car to replace one Joyce had years ago in California – “I’ve always just ached to have
it again,” she said – and named this
Model A after her old one. The car was
popular with doctors back in its heyday, and is “just your basic car,” Max
said – a stripped-down version of today’s vehicles. It has only six volts of
electricity, unlike the 12 volts in most
modern cars. Almost everything requires manual action in the Model A;
even turning it on is a multi-step process that might confuse most drivers.
The seller wanted to make sure the

new owners wouldn’t turn it into a hot
rod, Max said, and he and Joyce have
no such plans. They like the car the
way it is, with its original black steel
body, rumble seat in the back, and cable
brakes – no hydraulics here.
Their only plans right now are to
replace its current 16-inch wheels with

Fires cont. from page 1
“It’s not normal to have three fires in
one day,” Schonely added. “On Oahu, kids
set fires every day, but Molokai is different.”
While Tancayo said Molokai has
been lucky in the past with no homes
being lost to fire, he’s “not sure how
long the luck will last.”
Brush fires have the potential to
damage much more than brush. Loss of
property such as cattle and pasture land
is a big concern for Tancayo.
“If we lose those pastures…ranchers
could be greatly affected,” which could
in turn damages the economy, he said.
Fire could also damage the reef through
ash run-off, he added – everything goes
“hand in hand.”
While Schonely said residents have
increased efforts to clear brush around
their homes and property as a preventative measure, Tancayo said the elderly of-
ten have a hard time doing this. “Kupuna
homes could be threatened” by brush
fires, he explained.
Meanwhile, officials continue the
search for whoever may be responsible
for the recent fires, backed by a community that is “up at arms” about the incidents,
according to Schonely.
“It just shows how fragile everything
is,” Tancayo said of last week’s blazes.
“We want to stop it before we lose a life
or property.”
The last major brush fire on island
took place in 2009, burning about 8,000
acres in central Molokai. Several in the
late 1980s and ’90s damaged more 15,000
acres each, according to Tancayo. He added that Molokai has the most fire equipment and personnel per capita in Maui
County because of the island’s extensive
history of fires.
testing cont. from page 1
However, schools cannot be stagnant.”
He added: “We ask a lot of questions
but we don’t really give a lot of answers,
because the answers are gonna come from
you folks [the school staff].”
The Stats
Adequate yearly progress (AYP)
is a federal measurement mandated by
the No Child Left Behind Act. In Hawaii, the AYP is measured by the HSA.
Students have three chances to pass the
HSA each year.
To achieve AYP, HSA standards currently require 72 percent of students score
proficient in reading and 64 percent to
score proficient in math. Island-wide on
the 2011 HSA, students achieved 51 percent reading proficiency and 40 percent
math proficiency, according to information provided by the Department of Education. Only two Molokai schools – Kilohana and Maunaloa elementary schools
– made AYP last year.
Molokai schools had previously
partnered with a different testing-
improvement company, ETS, which
stands for Educational Testing Service.
But as many students continue falling
short of HSA proficiency standards
– with some schools’ scores even decreasing from year to year – the ETS
contract was not renewed.
MHS Principal Stan Hao said that
since the start of the school year, MHS has
already “seen more of [the Alliance] than
we’d seen of ETS all last year.”
Upcoming Schools Meetings
Parents of all students are encouraged to attend a general schools community council meeting Sept. 27 at the
Kaunakakai Elementary School cafeteria
from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Representatives
from each of the schools will discuss HSA
test scores, past progress and future plans.
The next MHSCC meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 14 from 3:30
p.m. to 4:45 p.m. MHSCC meetings are
held at the MHS Library and are open
to the public.

heaved into two temporary plant beds
the class previously built with rocks.
“It’s fun picking up all the dirt and
putting it inside there,” said Keaolewa
Davis-Mendija, explaining that the class
will transplant the seeds they’re growing in starter pots – tomato, cilantro,
pumpkin, bok choy, papaya and many
others – once the beds are ready.
“We get to make our own food and
cook ‘em,” added Preston Pascua, referring to the portion of the class when
students learn about preparing the vegetables to eat – a favorite aspect of the
class for many of the keiki.
Through a grant secured by teacher
Jen Ainoa, students will soon create a
second garden dedicated to native Hawaiian species restoration.
The current vegetable and flower
gardens will be moved to radiate out
from the Hawaiian garden, she said,
adding, “Once that happens, the seventh graders will explore how the Nature Conservancy [through Ed Misaki],
Molokai Land Trust [through Butch
Haase], and local biologists are protecting and bringing back endangered
plants here on Molokai.”

Krazy For Kolea Kontest Winners
Nene O Molokai News Release
E
ach year, Nene O Molokai holds
the Krazy For Kolea Kontest, in
which residents and visitors record
the return of the birds to winter habitats,
marking the end of the breeding season.
A three-way tie for the first place kolea
sighting goes to Moriah, Sarah and Lily
Jenkins, who simultaneously observed the
first kolea to return to Molokai on July 30,
back ‘on territory’ at the Ke Nani Kai. The
three sisters will each receive a Kolea Research T-shirt from the Hawaii Audubon
Society and a certificate for a free scoop of
ice cream at Kamoì Snack-N-Go.
The kolea or Pacific Golden-Plover
(Pluvialis fulva) has one of the longest
transoceanic migrations of any of the
world’s shorebirds, with some birds flying from breeding grounds in Alaska to
winter as far away as Madagascar. In Hawaii, the winter range of the kolea include
Photo by O.W. Johnson
pastures and cultivated fields, coastal wetlands, golf courses and residential lawns.
The kolea spends most of its daylight
hours foraging and can be recognized
from a distance by its peculiar feeding be-
havior of run-stop-run.
The second place kolea of Tommy
Larson appeared on the Kaluakoi Golf
Course at sunset Aug. 3, followed two
days later by a kolea reported in Kawela
by Caroline Crumpley. Helen VonTempsky reported that her kolea returned to
territory Aug. 6 at Kupeke Pond with a leg
fractured above the foot. Amputee shorebirds have been known to live normal
lives missing one leg or foot.
Fifth place goes to Darrell Rego for
his observation of a flock of five kolea on
the Ironwood Hills Golf Course on Aug.
7, and sixth place was tied by Bill Feeter
and Joe Kitagawa, with a kolea on a forest road on Aug. 8. Two Home Pumehana
residents reported a kolea two days apart
– Danny Gutierres and Aunty Kapua Templeton, and Chelsea Dudoit reported the
tenth place kolea. Mahalo to all the other
participants who reported a kolea but
didn’t place – there’s always next year!
To receive prizes, Krazy For Kolea
Kontest Winners should call Arleone at 5535992 or email researchbirds@yahoo.com.
Saving Hawaiian Monk
Seals
By Brandon Luuloa
H
awaiian
m o n k
s e a l s
have occupied the
Hawaiian archipelago for a long
time. The Hawaiian monk seals were here longer than us
and now we’re trying to help them because they are becoming extinct. They
are important to us because they can
help us in different ways like saving
our island and helping to stop developments. There are 1,100 Hawaiian monk
seals left in the state of Hawaii and the
Northwest Hawaiian Islands (NWHI).
The pups in the NWHI are dying off
because of starvation and getting eaten
by sharks.
On Aug. 8, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) held a meeting at Mitchell
Pauole Center about the monk seals.
There were lots of fishermen who came
and also kupuna and people of the community. Some of the kupuna and fishermen were pretty upset when they heard
that NOAA wanted to make a critical
habitat for the Hawaiian monk seals on
Molokai. Some of the people from the
community said to the NOAA people,
“why do you guys call them Hawaiian
monk seals, when they’re not even native?” That night I heard one uncle say
when he went diving for squid he saw
a monk seal digging up the coral and
plowing it through like a bulldozer.
On Aug. 9, the day after the meeting, our class walked into Laàu. We
saw about six monk seals that were lying on the beach. We took pictures of
them and recorded their number tags.
There were huge seals that we saw and
different colored ones; we also saw a
pregnant seal.
I would like to support the seals
because they are native to the Hawaiian Islands. They are coming back to
the Hawaiian Islands because they’re
dying off in the NWHI and starving.
We would like to help them by finding
them a better place to live so they can
reproduce and stay alive. It would be
better if the seals don’t eat all the fish
but save some for the next generation so
they have fish when they grow up, and
hopefully the seals will eat the rubbish
fish instead of the good fish.
This spot could be yours!

Oh My Okra
By Glenn I. Teves, UH County Extension Agent
O
kra is one of those vegetables
you either like or you don’t.
One of the few vegetables in
the hibiscus family, okra loves the
heat, and is very comfortable in the
dog days of summer.
Okra is believed to have originated
in an area of Africa that includes the
Ethiopian highlands and eastern Sudan.
The word ‘okra’ is believed to be of Nigerian origin. Okra was introduced to
Arabia by Muslims when they invaded
in the seventh century. Around the 12th
and 13th century, the Spanish Moors and
Egyptians carried it with them around
the Mediterranean and as far southeast
as India. This vegetable soon flourished
throughout North Africa and the Middle
East where the pods were cooked and
the seeds toasted, ground and served as
a coffee substitute. Oil extracted from the
seeds was used to produce cooking oil.
Okra eventually made its way
to North America via Louisiana
around the 1700s, where it became
an important part of French-style or
Cajun cuisine. Okra is also known as
lady’s fingers and gumbo, quingombo, a variant of the Portuguese word,
quillobo. Two favorite southern U.S.
dishes include deep fried okra first
dipped in corn meal batter, and gumbo – a hearty soup comprised of meat
or seafood, celery, bell pepper and
onion, with okra used as a thickener.
The Spanish are believed to
have introduced it to the Philippines
where it became part of their cuisine.
On Molokai, okra is an essential ingredient in Pinakbet, a Filipino stew
that includes many other vegetables
including eggplant, long bean, bittermelon and pumpkin.
Okra should be picked when it’s
young and tender, and before it gets
stringy. Usually, okra is harvested
when pods are two to three inches
long, but round-podded okra varieties remain tender at larger pod sizes
up to six inches or more. Some of the
round-podded types include Philippine Lady Finger, Louisiana Green
Velvet, Emerald, Stewarts Zeebest,
Peter Pan, Greeny Splendor, and others. Most okra varieties have angular pods, and there are also varieties
with red or burgundy pods. Indigenous African varieties can grow to
12 feet tall, with a base stem of four
inches in diameter.
Okra plants have spines or thick
hairs on the plant and pods that can
cause skin irritation, so gloves and
long sleeved shirts are worn when
harvesting pods. Okra is a fast grower and should be picked every two to
three days to maintain tender pods.
Remove oversized pods from the
plants since they sap the plants energy by making seeds. In the South,
pods are even dried for later use.
Pests include stink bugs, corn
earworm, aphids, and rose beetles.
Feeding activities of a microscopic
eelworm called root-knot nematodes,
which are microscopic eelworms, can
cause roots to swell, affecting nutrient and water uptake. To overcome
this problem, practice crop rotation
with a nematode resistant crop such
as Sunn Hemp, and don’t plant in the
same area twice. Powdery mildew,
a leaf fungus that looks like white
powder on the leaves can also be a
problem, but can be controlled with
sulfur sprays. Okra prefers neutral
soil with a pH of six or above. The
key to disease and insect control is to
grow a healthy plant. And it’s a good
idea to save seeds so you’ll always
have them when you need them.
Prevent Molokai Fires
By Fire Inspector Rick Schonely
O
ne of the most important
things you can do to prevent
fires is to clear brush from
vacant lots and around your house.
Many Molokai residents have already done this – mahalo! The Maui
County Dept. of Fire and Public
Safety will continue to inspect overgrown lots year round so please continue to maintain your property.
Here are some other fire
safety tips:
•Clean your garage or carport
of stored newspapers or other rubbish that can fuel a fire. Newspapers
stored in a damp, warm place may
ignite spontaneously.
•Test your smoke alarms monthly.
•To help prevent nuisance alarms,
gently vacuum your smoke alarm
every six months or as needed.
•Change batteries in smoke
alarms, flashlights and carbon monoxide detectors.
•Replace all smoke alarms every
10 years or as recommended by the
manufacturer.
•Check your electrical box; make
sure it has the proper clearance (30
inches) and the breakers are properly labeled.
•Keep outdoor debris or dead
vegetation away from the house.
•Properly dispose of oily or
greasy rags. If these items must be
stored, they should be kept in labeled, sealed, metal containers.
•If you store gasoline, keep it outside your home in a shed or detached
garage. Keep only small quantities
in tightly sealed safety containers.
Use gasoline only as a motor fuel –
never as a cleaning agent.
•Always store paint and other
flammable liquids in their original,
labeled containers with tight-fitting
lids. Always store them at least 18
inches from appliances, heaters, pilot lights and other sources of heat
or flame.
•Use outdoor barbecue grills with
caution. Place in a safe area away
from building, windows, heating,
ventilation and air conditioning
units or places with high/dead vegetation.
•Never use gasoline to start the
fire, and don't add charcoal lighter
fluid once the fire has started.
•Use barbecue grills outside only
– not under overhangs or balconies,
and away from combustibles.
•Check your propane barbecue
grill hose for leaks and cracks; never
store propane indoors.
If you have any questions or
would like clarification on any fire
safety tips, please call the Fire Prevention Bureau Molokai Office at
553-8491. Stay fire safe!

Free Will Astrology
By Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Strange but true: To pave the
way for your next liberation, you will have to impose some
creative limitation on yourself. In other words, there’s some
trivial extravagance or unproductive excess in your current
rhythm that is suppressing an interesting form of freedom.
As soon as you cut away the faux “luxury” that is holding
you back, all of life will conspire to give you a growth spurt.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Using two tons of colorful
breakfast cereal, high school students in Smithfield, Utah
helped their art teacher create a gymnasium-sized replica
of Vincent van Gogh’s painting “Starry Night.” After admiring it for a few days, they dismantled the objet d’art and
donated it as food to a farm full of pigs. You might benefit
from trying a comparable project in the coming days, Taurus. What common everyday things could you use in novel
ways to brighten up your personal palette? What humdrum part of your routine could you invigorate through
the power of creative nonsense? It’s high time to try some
experiments in play therapy.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “The energy you use to read
this sentence is powered, ultimately, by sunlight,” says
science writer K.C. Cole, “perhaps first soaked up by some
grass that got digested by a cow before it turned into the
milk that made the cheese that topped the pizza. But sunlight, just the same.” That’s a good seed thought to meditate on during the current phase of your astrological cycle.
In the coming weeks, you will thrive by gleefully remembering your origins, by exuberantly honoring the depths
that sustain you, and by reverently returning to the source
for a nice, long drink of magic.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Speaking about her character Harry on the TV show Harry’s Law, Cancerian actress
Kathy Bates said, “Harry is her own woman. She isn’t going
to take guff from anybody. I’m very much like her. I try to
be diplomatic, but sometimes pterodactyls fly out of my
mouth.” I wouldn’t always advise you to follow Bates’ lead,
Cancerian, but in the coming week I do: Be as tactful and
sensitive as possible, but don’t be shy about naming the
difficult truths or revealing the hidden agendas. Pterodactyls may need to take wing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Age of Mythology” is a
computer game that invites participants to strategically
build up their own civilization and conquer others. There
are of course many “cheats” that help you to bend the rules
in your favor. For instance, the “Wrath of the Gods” cheat
gives you the god-like powers of lightning storms, earthquakes, meteors, and tornadoes. With “Goatunheim,” you
can turn your enemies into goats, and “Channel Surfing”
allows you to move your armies over water. But the cheat I
would recommend for you right now, whether you’re playing “Age of Mythology” or the game of your own life, would
be Wuv Woo, a flying purple hippopotamus that blows
rainbows out its back end and blasts lovey-dovey hearts
from its mouth. (P.S. Using it will make other good cheats
easier to access.)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Of all the tribes of the
zodiac, Sagittarius is most skilled at not trying too hard.
That isn’t to say that you’re lazy or lax. What I mean is that
when it’s time for you to up the ante and push toward your
goal with more force and determination, you know how
to cultivate a sense of spaciousness. You’ve got an innate
knack for maintaining at least a touch of cool while immersed in the heat of the struggle. Even when the going
gets tough, you can find oases of rejuvenating ease. In the
coming week, I suggest you make an extra effort to draw
on these capacities. You will need them more than usual.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Wild mountain goats in
northern Italy have been photographed moseying their
way up and across the near-vertical wall of the Cingino
Dam dam. (Go here and scroll down seven rows to see
photos: tinyurl.com/GoatTrick.) It looks impossible. How
can they outmaneuver the downward drag of gravity, let
alone maintain a relaxed demeanor while doing it? They
are apparently motivated to perform this feat because they
enjoy licking the salty minerals that coat the face of the
dam. I foresee you having a comparable power in the comLEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “My green thumb came only as a ing weeks, Capricorn. Rarely have you been able to sumresult of the mistakes I made while learning to see things mon so much of your mountain goat-like power to master

I urge you to experiment with a similar approach in your

What’s Happening Molokai
Aunty’s Corner
column by kathy “Kapua” Templton
A
loha,
aunty
here…What
do
you do for a bad
hair day? Lawdy, Lawdy,
Ms. Claudy, my hair is
going junk in this humidity. Any suggestions are
gladly accepted.
My cat, Mimisan, got her head
stuck in a plastic mayo jar the other day
and went ballistic. Thanks to Taylor’s
quick response he was able to catch her
and take the jar off and put her down.
She promptly ran into the unit they are
fixing and hid under the equipment
there, howling loudly. Thanks to John,
who likes my cat – he was able to catch
her and calm her while I came to get
her. She would not go out all day and
then she wouldn’t leave my side. Poor
thing, so scared. Curiosity killed the
cat, my mom always said.
Try the morning swim at the pool.
They open at 7 a.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. There is something really cool to be the first ones in
the pool and make the first splash. The
water seems to be the warmest then.
Aunty Pasing had her 79th birthday last week. Whoa, tons of food and
music. Great fun with all the neighbors
there to enjoy a birthday.
I have started school once again.
I’m the oldest one there but one of
my previous classmates was there so I
didn’t feel so lost. I always get so worried when I first start. Now all I have to
do is study!! So you’re not alone in the
stress of the first day of school. Aunty
is right with you!
Maricelle and her husband, at
Take’s, are so helpful. Maricelle gives
100 percent in customer service and
her husband offered to find special cat
litter that they had had previously but
don’t have any longer. I call that great
service. I don’t know the name of the
young man next door at Napa but he is
also very helpful. One day I had a huge
box to carry in and there was no one
else around so I huiii’d him from across
the street and he came right over and
helped me. Mahalo to you all!
Be sure to come to our exciting 25th
Anniversary celebration of The Molokai
Dispatch newspaper. While doing the
scanning into the archives I was able to
follow the changes in the paper’s news
and style.
Well, this is all for now but I want
to leave you with a thought, this is for
you ladies: overheard in the Dispatch
office, “how come hurricanes are called
hurricanes and not himicanes?” Ever
think of that? Hug your kids, feed the
dog, pet the cat, kiss your sweetie, and
malama your mama. Aunty Kapua

Veteran’s Corner
Column by Jesse Church
H
ello Veterans,
old Jesse here
with all the
veterans’ news and
upcoming
events.
There was an article
in Army Times titled “Shorter Tours
Coming Soon.” For soldiers, shorter
deployments with revamped units
are just around the corner. Chief of
Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey set a September deadline for a plan to reduce
deployments from 12 to nine months,
with 18 months at home. The Army’s
stated goal is to bring the dwell-time
ratio to 27 months at home for every
nine months deployed by 2014.
The Air Force Times recently ran
a story titled “Jet Takes Trans-Arctic Route to Afghanistan.” An Air
Force jet, the C-5M Super Galaxy,
flew nonstop for 15 hours from Dover Air Force Base, Del. to Bagram
Airfield in Afghanistan via the Arctic. The route, which is the first of
its kind in Air Force history, could
give deploying airmen a few extra
days with their families, the service
announced in a news release. The
C-5M traveled over United States,
Canada, Russia and Kazakhstan and
was refueled over northern Canada.
The mission was a proof of concept
flight that helps Air Force leaders
examine new ways to deliver crucial
supplies to Afghanistan.
Marines and sailors have used
the term “brig” for more than a century to refer to a jail or prison, but have
you ever wondered why? Well, the
term originates from the days of sail,
when prisoners were held on a type of
ship called a brig, according to Naval
Heritage and History Command. The
small prison ships had two masts and
evolved from a class of ship called a
brigantine. Today the term “brig” remains synonymous with prison to
Marines and sailors on or off land.
It saddens me to report that
Lance Cpl. Christopher L. Camero,
19, of Kailua-Kona died July 15 in
Helmand province Afghanistan of
wounds suffered while conducting
combat operations. He was assigned
to 3rd Bn., 4th Marine Div., Twentynine Palms, Calif. On another somber
note, Senior Chief Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician Kraig M.
Vickers, 36, of Kokomo died Aug. 6 in
Wardak province, Afghanistan, when
the CH-47 Chinook helicopter in
which he was riding was shot down.
He was assigned to an East Coastbased Seal team.
I’d like to send a big mahalo to
Tony Wickes, who donated his time
on Sunday, Aug. 7, and steam-cleaned
the carpet in the Vets Center. Tony is a
Marine veteran and a member of the
Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans.
Thank you Tony.
I’d like to remind everyone that
VFW Post 3870 will have a meeting
on Tuesday, Sept. 13 at 12:30 p.m. at
Commander George Harada’s home.
If you have questions call the commander at 553-5730. Also, remember
that John Candello will be on Molokai
the first two Thursdays, Sept. 4 and
Sept. 11 from 7:30 am. to 1 p.m. by appointment; call 553-3611.
I hope everyone has a nice holiday, Labor Day, Sept. 5, and invites
a vet for a barbecue. Please let’s remember our troops around the world,
and especially those in harm’s way.
I’d like to send a big mahalo to them,
and tell our veterans – and the people
of Molokai – you are the very best,
and I love you all. Give old Jesse a call
at 553-3323 and say hello.

Stand Up for the Kingdom
Senator Akaka’s Mahalo
Hui Kane News Release
T
he Kingdom of Hawaii, also referred to as the Reinstated Hawaiian Nation, is holding educational classes starting Thursday at 5
p.m. at Mitchell Pauole Center in the
conference room. This is also an opportunity for those who want to become
participants or citizens of the nation, to
start the process. There is an election for
the kingdom coming up on Nov. 5, and
people will be able to register to vote at
the classes. Everyone is welcome to attend. The time has come for us to stand
up for our basic human right called
sovereignty in Hawaii, and especially
on Molokai. This effort is supported by
Hui Kane.
Helmet Drive
F
ootball’s future on Molokai is
bright. It is the second year of a
three-year plan to becoming an
MIL sanctioned sport and to officially be
a part of the Molokai High School (MHS)
athletics. The current football team operates independently from the high school
and all funds for equipment and travel
are from generous donations, marketing
and public relations and fundraising. It
can be a huge endeavor, but things are
looking up! This year the team will don
new uniforms and helmets, dressed in
proper Molokai Farmer green.
The team is still in need of helmets
so we are continuing our helmet drive.
We need to raise money for five more
helmets. Each helmet is $200. If you
would like to invest in the lives of these
young men and the future of football on
Molokai please send an email to molokaifarmersfootball@gmail.com or get
further information by visiting the Molokai High Farmers Football Facebook
page. Football T-shirts and car decals are
selling fast. Get yours and help spread
the word about Molokai’s football future
and advertise by wearing your T-shirt
off-island. In addition, be on the lookout for Krispy Kreme tickets sold by the
athletes in the next few weeks to help
cover travel costs.
Mahalo to the following for their financial support: Kevin Misaki, Kekama
Helm and QLCC, Glenn Izawa & Karen
Holt with Friendly Isle United Fund,
Larry and Barbara Helm and the families
of Flight 1712 the Halia Aloha Scholar-
ship Fund, Sam and Drigette Pedro, Kory
Toyozaki, and Dolphin and Karen Pawn.
Mahalo to Carl Brito and MYSL for the 20foot container and coach Kale Ane of Punahou High School for equipment. Thank
you to Zach Helm and the county crew
for lining the field. Also a big mahalo to
coaches Kaleo Puaa, Desmund Manaba,
Hano Naehu, and Kyle Giffen, for volunteering your time and pouring your heart
into the lives of these young men. Mahalo
to the athletes for sticking it out every day
at practice and for working hard in school.
It will pay off someday. Remember, you
are a part of making history. And mahalo
to the parents for supporting your child
and the future of football on Molokai. And
finally to my wife Nichol – your unending support and tireless work behind the
scenes is what really makes this thing happen and helps me stay on the right track.
Mark your calendars and support
the Molokai football athletes at their
season games on Saturdays. Here is the
schedule:
First game @ home vs. Seabury, Sept. 17
Second game @ St. Anthony, Oct. 1
Third game @ Seabury Oct. 15
Fourth game @ home vs. St. Anthony, Oct. 22
Mahalo Molokai. Keep positive,
and help us stay true to our team slogan
and chant: “Wiwoòle – Fearless, Kupono – Disciplined and Lokahi-Unity.”

That is why I can say with conviction that Linda is not the “bomb-throwing” “hyper-partisan” some national
political operatives would try to assert.
She is a practical moderate who has always kept the best interests of Hawaii
as her core motivation. Governor Lingle
is a public servant of the noblest demeanor who always puts people before
Party.
In Hawaii we have a saying, “no
talk stink.” The folks in Washington
D.C. need to respect our island standards.

No Windmills on Lanai
T
he island of Lanai, one of Maui
County’s treasures, has breathtaking natural beauty, lavish resorts and a crown jewel – the last intact
plantation town in the country, centered
around a spacious central park. In 2009,
Lanai City was listed as one of the 11
most Endangered Historic Places in
America.
All of this is at risk, and the threat
is two-fold: Castle & Cooke has recently
applied for the demolition of 15 to 20
historic buildings in Lanai City to make
way for large-scale commercial development. Rather than preserving the historic buildings and incorporating them into
a development plan, they hope to erase
them altogether.
The second threat is that Castle &
Cooke intends to dynamite and bulldoze
one-fourth of the island to make way for
a mega industrial wind turbine power
plant. Although the ILWU has recently
paid for signs that say “Yes Windmills.
Make Lanai Green,” all energy produced
will be taken from Lanai and transferred
via cable to Oahu. The turbines do not
reduce carbon emissions or significantly

Linda Lingle a friend for more than
30 years.
As a retired public school teacher
and life-long resident of Molokai, I have
watched Linda gain the respect and admiration of our community for her services as a council member and her leadership as Mayor of Maui.
I was privileged to work on her
council and mayoral campaigns and
was her Molokai Field Director for her
three campaigns for governor. As anyone who has worked in a political campaign knows, you get to see a person up
close and under considerable pressure
when she is running for office.

reduce oil dependence, according to European government studies after years
of research and compiled data. A fragile
ecosystem that supports the whale sanctuary, endangered plants and animals,
as well as hundreds of significant Hawaiian archeological sites, will be gone
forever. These things seems to be of no
value to corporations whose fiduciary
duty is to stock their holders and nothing else. The value is to the people who
live here in Hawaii, and who will have
to live with the consequences. Long after
the wind turbines have rusted away, after subsidiaries have dried up (as in Europe), the people of Lanai, Maui County
and Hawaii will be left with a scarred
landscape and a lost cultural heritage
that can never be restored.
