Lei in Remembrance
By Laura Pilz | Staff Writer

ith colorful lei draped
carefully over each
arm, volunteers set
out across the gently sloping
Papaloa cemetery in Kalaupapa
last week with the goal of honoring and remembering each
and every kupuna buried on
the peninsula.
Pausing briefly at each marker to lay a hand or say a quiet
prayer, the group quietly made
their way through the acres of
headstones, lovingly leaving a lei
at each one.
The Makanalua peninsula,
commonly known as Kalaupapa,
serves as the final resting place
for thousands of Hansen’s disease
patients who were once banished
there.
After more than a century of
being exiled to the peninsula, patients were given the freedom to
leave Kalaupapa on June 30, 1969,
when Hawaii Revised Statute 32
lifted the ban on their isolation.
To celebrate the 45th anniversary of the lifting of this ban and
honor all who lived and died there,
1400 lei were distributed to the
four major cemeteries and every
known burial site across the peninsula last Monday by a nonprofit
organization called Hui Malama
Makanalua.
“None of these kupuna will
ever be forgotten,” said Kalaupapa National Park Service (KNPS)
worker and cultural practitioner,
Miki`ala Pescaia during the event’s
opening ceremony. “We come to
honor them. We come to recognize
and show our appreciation for
each and every one of them. “
Pescaia added that “we
work today to forgive and work
to restore all of the aloha back into
these grounds that has been taken
away.”
The project, called “Lei Hali`a
O Kalaupapa” or “lei in remembrance of Kalaupapa” was created
by Kerri Inglis, associate professor of history at the University of
Hawaii, Hilo along with her current and past students, friends and
family, many of whom have ancestral ties to the peninsula.
“The core group began
with service trips we’ve been
doing to Kalaupapa over the
past seven or eight years,” said
Inglis. “The last few years as part
of the trip we take the time to
make lei one evening and ask the
students to choose some sites to
place the lei.”
During one such trip, Inglis and her students saw
KNPS workers placing flags on the graves of veterans. She
said the visual of flags and lei commemorating all those buried there got them thinking.
“We started talking and thought wouldn’t it be good if
we had enough lei for everyone. Everyone should have a lei
and be remembered in that way,” she said.
Although only 1,200 of the graves are marked, Hui
Malama Makanalua placed lei at known unmarked burial
sites as well, in order to commemorate all 8,000 individuals
who lived and died on the peninsula from 1866 to 1969.

Raises
Money and
Awareness

n a world full of fast-food, imported groceries and processed snacks,
a Molokai organization is combating the food norm to promote eating
local.
The concept of eating and buying local can be daunting but that hasn’t
stopped The MOM Hui—and its grassroots network of like-minded advocates,
farmers, vendors and ohana—from promoting sustainability, a healthy environment and a conscious lifestyle.
Hundreds of attendees gathered under a star-lit sky last Saturday to promote
this vision at Duke Maliu Park for the second annual Grassroots Benefit Concert
organized by The MOM Hui.
“I want the community to be conscious of the impact we can have on our
environment through the choices we
make, the food we eat, the way we decide to grow our food and how we take
care of this environment,” said MOM Hui
founder Mercy Ritte. “It’s all relative and
related.”
Keiki participated in educational activities by sampling wheat grass, learning
the importance of bee pollination, gardening and more. Molokai youth and statewide entertainers like I-land Flavah and
Napua Greig performed numbers ranging from popular reggae tunes to songs
that perpetuated the evening’s message.
“Eating local foods will build a stronger community,” said organizer Kealoha

4-H Ranchers Put Skills to the Test

udged on their stance, temperament,
muscle mass and ability to follow
direction, pigs and steer competed
with their owners for top ribbon last
weekend. The animals were gathered
under white tents at the Kaunakakai
Ball Park as eager fans filled the stands
ready to cheer on keiki as they showed
off their prized animals.
For months, youth in the Molokai 4-H
Livestock Club, have been raising, grooming, keeping records and showing their animals in preparation for the annual Molokai
4-H Livestock Expo last weekend. The program promotes agriculture and teaches children responsibility and the business aspect
of life, said Event Director Rex Kamakana.
4-H stands for “head, heart, hands
and health” and is a national educational
organization. On Molokai, the students are
involved in a livestock program and are
challenged with real-life issues as they learn
responsibility through raising, showing and
judging livestock, Kamakana said.
For 4-H-er James Borden, Molokai
High School (MHS) junior, three years of
participation and preparation culminated in
taking first place in the market steer grand
championship.
“It felt real good to win,” Borden said.
“This year I worked on my steer more and
kept my eye contact with the judge. Next
year, I want to try my best and try to win
it again.”
There are 25 keiki, from as young as
five-years-old to high school seniors, involved in the Molokai 4-H Livestock Club.
At the Expo each summer, the participants
have their animals judged in two competitions on a set of priorities that represent the
industry.
It’s like a beauty pageant for animals,
said second-year judge Gabriel Ponce when
describing the set criteria each animal is
judged upon in competition.
In the market steer and hog competition, animals are judged on their looks. That
includes muscle, balance, fat content and
structure, which must all be combined so
the animal is not only the best animal to eat,
but has quality physical traits, Ponce said.
Besides looking good on the field, the
animals are judged on how well their handlers can present them with control and
leadership in the ring in the steer and hog
showmanship competition.
“Those that work at home and practice
every single day, it shows because their ani-

Ice Challenge Warms Hearts
By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief
Praise Concert Committee News
Release
T
he ice challenge took Molokai
by frozen storm in the last two
weeks, joining a national movement to raise money for cancer. Across
the U.S., participants of the ice challenge are calling out friends to dump
buckets of freezing water on themselves
and donate to charity. In Hawaii, the ice
challenge is primarily raising money
for cancer, and many on Molokai are
using the opportunity to contribute to
the Molokai Cancer Fund through the
upcoming Relay for Life.
If you’re a Facebook user, you’ve
probably had your newsfeed flooded
with videos of your friends gasping, shrieking and shivering under a
stream of ice water. Wondering what
it’s all about? Local informal rules call
for at least two buckets of ice water
to be poured over your head by willing (or eager) friends. As part of the
challenge, you “call out” friends to
do the same, and they must follow
icy suit within 24 hours. In addition
to enduring cold water gushing over
your head, you also must donate $20
to a cancer awareness organization of
your choice. If you chose not to complete the challenge, you’re asked to
give $100 instead.
The challenge was so popular
on Molokai, in fact, that by July 4th
weekend, many stores had run out of
ice altogether.
In addition to raising money, the
ice challenge is reportedly intended to
simulate the chills and aches experienced by many cancer patients during
chemotherapy treatments.
While some have criticized the
challenge for belittling what cancer patients actually go through,
many challenge participants say they
gained a greater appreciation for what
friends and loved ones have suffered
on a much greater scale.
“[After doing the ice challenge, I
feel] like I never want to go through
chemo,” said challenge participant
Courtney Turner. “That was horrible.”
A few Molokai residents chose
not to endure the fringed blast but still
participated by posting Facebook vid-
eos sharing a talent or tribute to loved
ones who suffered cancer and called
on friends to donate to the cause.
Other fundraising efforts on
Molokai have included a campaign
called “Tired of Cancer” in which
purple-painted tires are being passed
around the community. The tires -- an
initiative by this year ’s Relay for Life
Team Arlan, led by Molokai cancer
survivor Arlan Angco – are making
their rounds in people’s yards for 24
hours each. Recipients donate money
to the team to host the tire, then pass it
on to a friend or family member.
On his Relay for Life team page
on the American Cancer Society website, Angco shares his story of fighting
stage four cancer.
“I have come full circle as a supporter of others, to a patient and a
survivor and now back again to a supporter of others,” he wrote. “I have
benefited personally from the fundraising efforts of Relay for Life with
travel expenses and lodging being
paid for while going through treatment and recovery… This is my opportunity to honor cancer survivors,
remember people we have lost, and
help raise funds for the American
Cancer Society.”
The Molokai Relay for Life will
be held on Aug. 8 at Kaunakakai Ball
Field starting at 6 p.m.

For the last four years, the Praise Concert series has been a fun and uplifting
gathering for Molokai. In this fifth year, the
tone will not change but be elevated. With
free admission, free food, games for keiki
and cool giveaways, this year’s two-day
event July 19 and 20 will bring a lineup of
stellar entertainers and worship leaders.
Last year, the Praise Concert partnered
with Convoy of Hope to bless the community as much as possible. Many people received and were grateful. This year's desire
is greater.
The Praise Concert will be held on Saturday, July 19 at Kaunakakai Ball Field from
6 to 10 p.m. Not too long ago, the people
who would become Kapena competed in
the "Brown Bags to Stardom" competition
representing Kaimuki High School, and the
rest, as they say, is history. But away from
the bright lights, the Good Lord had a plan
that went beyond the music and public
persona to ring about a transformation that
would bless all who heard Kapena.
Music is a language every soul understands. The Irish root meaning of the name
Kelly is “warrior.” Kelly Delima will usher
us into the presence of God and maybe
bring a dose of laughter with it.

abilities.”
Polinahe Bishaw Mokiao, Molokai
Middle School 8th grader, who won the
reserve championship in the swine showmanship division, said her triumph in the
ring is due to the amount of time she spent
training and working with her pig.
“I think I won because I spent a lot of
time with it and I had a good rhythm with
my pig in the ring and had a good chance
of impressing the judge,” Bishaw Mokiao
said. “I wasn’t really expecting to win, this
being my first year, so this was a good surprise.”
She said 4-H has taught her more
than how to train and care for a pig. She’s
learned to be more responsible, reach for
her goals and can now see herself pursuing
a college degree.
“Maybe once I graduate I can start my
own 4-H club and bring in more animals
to raise them with other children and help
them pursue what they want to do in their
lives,” she said.
Winning and responsibility run deep
in the family genes.
Bishaw Mokiao’s brother Nainoa,
MHS 10th grader, won the grand champi-
2
With a Mission. His desire is to create
an atmosphere for people to encounter and
respond to God. He has traveled the world
extensively and witnessed the power of
God through music. He and his family live in Kona and they have a heart for
Molokai.
Ben Vega produced Maila Gibson's
2003 album "More.” Singers, songwriters, and producers, they have successfully
collaborated and received five Na Hoku
Hanohano award nominations. Maila
has performed with artists such as Natalie
Cole, Ruben Studdard, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins and Marie Osmond,
and locally with Na Hoku award winners
and Grammy nominees Keali`i Reichel and
Ho`okena.
The Celebration of Hope will take
place on Sunday, July 20 at 9 a.m. at the
Kaunakakai Ball Field. Passion is defined
as a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything such as music,
etc. Since Pastor Jonah Ka`auwai's invitation to come to Molokai, the burden in his
heart has multiplied for the people here.
On Sunday morning, you will want to hear
what God wants to tell people and, most
certainly, we need a good word now. Don't
miss this special service to hear through a
passionate heart how God wants to bless
Molokai. E Komo Mai Akua!
onship for swine showmanship. Last year,
Nainoa Bishaw Mokiao was crowned the
reserve champion for showmanship of his
pig, but this year he said he wanted to exceed his own expectations and see how far
he could go.
“To me it felt good [to win] it’s something that I worked hard for and I just
wanted to earn something,” Nainoa said. “I
won because I put in a lot of time to it, made
my [pig] tame and easy to control and had
the dedication and pride in what I did.”
Along with market and showmanship
competitions, non-competing participants
engaged in the learning activities, raffles
and auction prizes and listened to live entertainment by reggae sensation Kolohe
Kai. Both days featured games, food booths
and various crafts for the young and the
old. The events closed with an auction of
the selected steer, pigs and goats.
And while Friday and Saturday’s
events highlighted hard work, the experiences gained during the process are most
important, Ponce said.
“4-H is like a vehicle that teaches you
opportunities that can take you different
places,” Ponce said. “It’s not about the ribbons, pictures and being in the articles, it’s
about the things you learn while through
it.”

Hooper. “You keep it here, you keep it
Molokai, you buy from here and build our
community to make Molokai stronger.”
From venison burgers and lilikoi juice
to homemade, brick-oven pizza, the food
provided by local vendors featured locallygrown, non-GMO or organic ingredients.
The MOM Hui provided vendors and the
public with compostable paper plates, cups
and utensils. Trash bins were distributed
across the lawn for degradable plates and
utensils or food waste, which will be taken
to a local farm to feed pigs.
“If we can all collectively learn something and make small changes in our own
lifestyle and with our children then maybe
slowly it will spread and we can become
a truly healthy Molokai island,” Ritte said
“… It’s possible to feed our families healthy
food with what we have on island.”
Giving Back
Besides being a night of ono grinds,
sustainability and aloha, the benefit concert
aimed to support local youth who plan to
pursue a higher education in degrees focused on health, environmental studies or
organic farming. The MOM Hui’s Ho`ola
Hou Scholarship Fund, a community supported financial assistance program for
Molokai High School (MHS) seniors, was
funded by 100 percent of ticket proceeds.
Taylor Tamanaha, 2014 MHS graduate
and scholarship recipient will attend Grand
Canyon University to pursue a degree in
pediatric nursing. She said the scholarship
made college more affordable and took the
stress off of meeting high tuition prices.
“It made me feel good to win the
scholarship because I feel like I really
earned it,” Tamanaha said. “I’m happy because I worked really hard for it and it’s a
validation. The support feels like home.”
For Xrystina Bicoy, an MHS alumnus in the same class, the scholarship
award “feels like your aina is your support
group…it gives you a lot of pride for where
you come from” she said.
Bicoy is headed off to the University
of Wyoming this fall to pursue a degree in
nursing.
“We’re all really thankful for this
whole organization and we owe so much
to them for supporting us and giving us
this opportunity,” Bicoy said. “It’s a huge
honor.”
Aloha Aina Message
The community-based event isn’t an
anti-GMO campaign, but a movement to
promote sustainability and Molokai-grown
or sustainable products, Hooper said.
“This is not a local issue, this is a global issue,” organizer and MC Hanohano
Naehu said. “Buying local is important because it all goes back to the message of the
event, ‘aloha aina,’ that which feeds us. We
[want to] be sustainable. We want to grow
our own food, eat our own food, and then
we know what is in it and where it comes
from.”
Ritte said she hopes the concert will
raise awareness, inspire others to live a
healthy lifestyle and support a sustainable
Molokai.
“I know we can’t be completely GMOfree or organic so for me it’s being aware of
how our food is being produced and it’s all
about educating one another,” Ritte said.
“There are farmers that pay attention to the
environment and really care about what
they grow for the community.”

Krazy for Kolea Kontest
Nene O Molokai News Release
The kolea, Pacific Golden Plover
(Pluvialis fulva), is revered in Hawaiian
mythology as Koleamoku, a messenger
of high chiefs, and was considered to be
the embodiment of the god of healing. On
their northern migration, Kolea may have
aided ancient navigators with the discovery of the Hawaiian Islands. Within a few
weeks, the kolea will make a transoceanic
southbound migration between breeding
grounds in Alaska to wintering locales as
far away as Madagascar. Recent research
using light level dataloggers have tracked
kolea at speeds from 36 to118 miles per
hour, and with an average flight between
Hawaii and Alaska taking 40 hours.
Earliest returnees to Hawaii are typically females that may have experienced a
failed nesting attempt or perhaps did not
bond with a mate for the breeding season.
Adult males normally appear by the end
of August, followed by juveniles in October. The kolea is easily recognized by its
bold black and white breeding plumage
called “alternate,” however, this is lost by
winter time.
Kolea are long-lived (20-plus years),
territorial and annually return to the same
location. This returning behavior was first
recognized by Max Schlemmer on Laysan
Island, whose “Old Stump Leg,” a onelegged kolea, returned annually ca. 1900.
Many Molokai residents have named their
distinguished winter residents and note
arrival and departure dates on calendars.
Report the return of a kolea and win a
prize. Include date, time, and location. The

“It is important that we remember the

me about humility and humanity. Of love
and devotion, of faith, of life and death.”

band over a silver band will receive $100.
Bands are read from the bird’s perspective as if reading a book – bird’s left leg

bands on one leg only while others will
have bands on both legs. All banded birds
will be confirmed.

Winners will be announced in September.
“Who would believe that when we
first came, things like this would happen,”
Kahilihiwa said, referring to people willingly wanting to visit Kalaupapa. “Thank you
so much for doing this, this sharing of aloha,
but also of yourselves.”
Together they carefully selected lei
from the billowing pile in front of them and
set off into the cemetery.
The 1400 lei were created for the event,
with many coming from other islands and
as far away as California. According to Inglis, 80 lei came from California and over 400
lei came from topside Molokai.

Long Range Development
Plan for College Campus
UHMCM News Release
After years of effort, UH Maui College, Molokai (UHMCM) has completed
its Long Range Development Plan (LRDP)
2013, which was approved and received
in June 2014. The purpose of the LRDP is
to guide the development of the Molokai
Education Center to the year 2027, beginning with the transition from the existing two-acre campus and expanding to a
five-acre campus utilizing the land to the
west along the main road to Duke Maliu
Regional Park.
The LRDP includes engaging visual
aids on accordion style fold-outs to provide the reader with a clear idea of how
the future campus might look. It covers
everything from the college program requirements, site assessment, alternate positioning of facilities, the ultimate site plan,
design considerations, and a phasing plan
with cost estimates. Lastly, because the
current Molokai Community Plan 2001
recommends that 15 acres be set aside for
future college development, the LRDP
also includes a conceptual site plan for a
campus of that size which could be phased
in eventually over a longer time frame.
A copy of the UH Maui College,
Molokai LRDP is available for community
members to review at the reference desk
of the Molokai Public Library in Kaunakakai. Please see a library staff member
for assistance. The faculty, staff and students thank our Molokai Program Advisory Committee for their hard work and
diligent efforts over the last 30 years and
the Molokai community for their past and
continuing support. UH Maui College,
Molokai -- A world of knowledge… here
at home.

New Crop Assc. President
HCIA News Release
Recent Molokai resident Kirby Kester
is the new president of the Hawaii Crop
Improvement Association (HCIA), as well
as Dow AgroSciences’ Hawaii R&D Leader.
With nearly 20 years’ experience in the
seed industry on Kauai, Kester now resides
on Molokai and serves as site Leader for
Dow AgroSciences’ R&D Station on Molokai, as well as provides oversight for Kauai’s Seeds and Traits R&D program.
Kirby holds a M.S. of Agriculture degree from Iowa State University and a B.S.
in Agronomy from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. He has been a member of
HCIA since 1995, and will serve a two-year
term as president.
“We know our industry is under
siege,” Kester said. “We are already working hard to tell the story of Hawaii’s seed
industry and we intend to do this even
more over the coming months. We’re going
to spend more time showing people why
they have nothing to fear from modern ag-
riculture and the tools created with biotechnology.”
Kester was installed as HCIA president at the association’s recent annual
meeting.
Bennette Misalucha was also introduced as HCIA’s new executive director.
Misalucha has an extensive 17-year background in banking and finance and sits on
a number of local non-profit boards. She
previously served as regional director for
government and community affairs at Actus Lend Lease, and spent time as a local
television news reporter and producer with
KHON Channel 2 News.
“We’re thrilled to have found someone
with Bennette’s vast experience to take over
the executive director position at HCIA,”
Kester said. “Bennette brings the type of
business-savvy expertise we were looking
for, as well as a history of success engaging
and educating stakeholders on the issues. I
look forward to working with her as HCIA
moves forward.”

Will
ARIES (March 21-April 19): What are the sources that heal
and nourish you? Where do you go to renew yourself? Who
are the people and animals that treat you the best and are
most likely to boost your energy? I suggest that in the coming
week you give special attention to these founts of love and
beauty. Treat them with the respect and reverence they deserve. Express your gratitude and bestow blessings on them.
It's the perfect time for you to summon an outpouring of
generosity as you feed what feeds you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Why do birds fly? First, that's
how they look for and procure food. Second, when seasons
change and the weather grows cooler, they may migrate
to warmer areas where there's more to eat. Third, zipping
around in mid-air is how birds locate the materials they need
to build nests. Fourth, it's quite helpful in avoiding predators.
But ornithologists believe there is yet another reason: Birds fly
because it's fun. In fact, up to 30 percent of the time, that's
their main motivation. In accordance with the astrological
omens, Taurus, I invite you to match the birds' standard in
the coming weeks. See if you can play and enjoy yourself and
have a good time at least 30 percent of the time.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Is there an important resource
you don't have in sufficient abundance? Are you suffering
from the lack of an essential fuel or tool? I'm not talking about
a luxury it would be pleasant to have or a status symbol that
would titillate your ego. Rather, I'm referring to an indispensable asset you need to create the next chapter of your life
story. Identify what this crucial treasure is, Gemini. Make or
obtain an image of it, and put that image on a shrine in your
sanctuary. Pray for it. Vividly visualize it for a few minutes several times a day. Sing little songs about it. The time has arrived
for to become much more serious and frisky about getting
that valuable thing in your possession.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Since 1981, Chinese law has
stipulated that every healthy person between the ages of 11
and 60 should plant three to five trees per year. This would
be a favorable week for Chinese Cancerians to carry out that
duty. For that matter, now is an excellent time for all of you
Cancerians, regardless of where you live, to plant trees, sow
seeds, launch projects, or do anything that animates your fertility and creativity. You now have more power than you can
imagine to initiate long-term growth.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The weeks preceding your birthday
are often an excellent time to engage the services of an exorcist. But there's no need to hire a pricey priest with dubious
credentials. I can offer you my expert demon-banishing skills
free of charge. Let's begin. I call on the spirits of the smart
heroes you love best to be here with us right now. With the
help of their inspirational power, I hereby dissolve any curse
or spell that was ever placed on you, even if it was done inadvertently, and even if it was cast by yourself. Furthermore, the
holy laughter I unleash as I carry out this purification serves to
expunge any useless feelings, delusional desires, bad ideas,
or irrelevant dreams you may have grown attached to. Make
it so! Amen and hallelujah!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know what it's like to get
your mind blown. And I'm sure that on more than one occasion you have had your heart stolen. But I am curious, Virgo,
about whether you have ever had your mind stolen or your
heart blown. And I also wonder if two rare events like that
have ever happened around the same time. I'm predicting
a comparable milestone sometime in the next three weeks.
Have no fear! The changes these epiphanies set in motion
will ultimately bring you blessings. Odd and unexpected
The Molokai Dispatch • July 9, 2014 •
7
blessings, probably, but blessings nonetheless. P.S.: I'm sure
you are familiar with the tingling sensation that wells up in
your elbow when you hit your funny bone. Well, imagine a
phenomena like that rippling through your soul.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Since 2008, Marvel Studios
has produced nine movies based on characters from Marvel
Comics. They're doing well. The Avengers earned $1.5 billion,
making it the third-highest-grossing film of all time. Iron
Man 3 brought in over a billion dollars, too, and Thor: The
Dark World grossed $644 million. Now Marvel executives are
on schedule to release two movies every year through 2028.
I'd love to see you be inspired by their example, Libra. Sound
fun? To get started, dream and scheme about what you want
to be doing in both the near future and the far future. Then
formulate a flexible, invigorating master plan for the next 14
years.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): While in Chicago to do a series
of shows, comedian Groucho Marx was invited to participate
in a séance. He decided to attend even though he was skeptical of the proceedings. Incense was burning. The lights were
dim. The trance medium worked herself into a supernatural
state until finally she announced, "I am in touch with the Other Side. Does anyone have a question?" Groucho wasn't shy.
"What is the capital of North Dakota?" he asked. As amusing
as his irreverence might be, I want to use it as an example of
how you should NOT proceed in the coming week. If you get a
chance to converse with higher powers or mysterious forces, I
hope you seek information you would truly like to know.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In one of her poems,
Adrienne Rich addresses her lover: "That conversation we
were always on the edge / of having, runs on in my head."
Is there a similar phenomenon in your own life, Sagittarius?
Have you been longing to thoroughly discuss certain important issues with a loved one or ally, but haven't found a way
to do so? If so, a breakthrough is potentially imminent. All of
life will be conspiring for you to speak and hear the words
that have not yet been spoken and heard but very much need
to be.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This would be a fun time
for you to brainstorm about everything you have never been
and will never be. I encourage you to fantasize freely about
the goals you don't want to accomplish and the qualities you
will not cultivate and the kind of people you will never seek
out as allies. I believe this exercise will have a healthy effect
on your future development. It will discipline your willpower
and hone your motivation as it eliminates extraneous desires.
It will imprint your deep self with a passionate clarification of
pursuits that are wastes of your precious energy and valuable
time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Expect nothing even as you
ask for everything. Rebel against tradition with witty compassion, not cynical rage. Is there a personal taboo that no
longer needs to remain taboo? Break it with tender glee. Do
something playful, even prankish, in a building that has felt
oppressive to you. Everywhere you go, carry gifts with you
just in case you encounter beautiful souls who aren't lost in
their own fantasies. You know that old niche you got stuck
in as a way to preserve the peace? Escape it. At least for now,
live without experts and without leaders -- with no teachers
other than what life brings you moment by moment.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Every year, the U.S. government spends $25,455 per capita on programs for senior
citizens. Meanwhile, it allocates $3,822 for programs to help
children. That's only 15 percent as much as what the elders
receive. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I believe your priorities
should be reversed. Give the majority of your energy and
time and money to the young and innocent parts of your life.
Devote less attention to the older and more mature aspects.
According to my reading of the astrological omens, you need
to care intently for what's growing most vigorously.

Weekly Puzzle Answers
Selling Axis Deer By-Products
Courses
UH Maui College News Release
Now that USDA-inspected Axis
Deer meat is for sale on Maui, the rumor of a budding venison industry is
becoming a reality. So what happens
to all the other parts of the deer? In
New Zealand, Red Deer by-products
have proven to be more commercially
valuable than the sale of the deer meat
itself.
With this in mind, UH-Maui College’s Office of Continuing Education
and Training (OCET) under its U.S.
Department of Labor grant to promote
job creation in sustainable agriculture,
in conjunction with the Sustainable
Living Institute of Maui (SLIM) and
EdVenture, is offering a three-part
course to help interested students
explore the feasibility of developing
an Axis Deer by-products operation.
Deer by-products markets for hides,
antlers, bone and blood meal and other types of compost, waste meat for
dog food, and deer parts that are aphrodisiacs will all be discussed.
The course will be available via
the Polycom system to the islands of
Molokai and Lanai.
The hard part of deciding if selling animal by-products is feasible on
Maui requires looking at the challenges of rules and regulations about animal waste processing facilities, finding a consistent supply, and working
with existing slaughterhouses, covered in Part One. Part Two focuses on
understanding your competition, developing an export market, and Part
Three will examine what type of organizational structure, scale and size
of operation would work best when
wanting to be a financial success.
The college has assembled a team
of instructors and guest instructors
including: Faith Ewbank, a 24-year
veteran marketing specialist having
been the Marketing Director for the
Maui Arts and Cultural Center who
frew up on a cattle ranch in Kipahulu
with years of teaching experience on
agricultural topics. Phyllis Robinson,
Ed.D. has been an organizational development specialist for 30 years,
was the founder of the Maui Axis
Deer Harvesting Cooperative and is a
member of the Maui Axis Deer Working Group. Dr. Robinson will co-teach
Parts One and Two with Ms. Ewbank
and Desmund Manaba of Molokai
Wildlife Management, currently the
only deer rancher providing USDA
inspected venison in the state. Dr.
Robinson will teach Part Three with
technical assistance instruction from
Melanie Bondera of the Kohala Center/Laulima Center for Cooperative
Business Development.
All three classes will be on Thursday evenings from 5:30-8:30 beginning with Part one on four Thursdays
July 17 through Aug. 7. Part Two will
begin Aug. 11through Sept. 4 for four
Thursdays, and Part Three will begin
Sept. 11 and run for three Thursdays
through Sept. 25.
Register by calling Edventure at
984-3231, or online through edventuremaui.com. A discount is available
for taking all three parts. Tuition assistance may be available for eligible
applicants.

One.

College Admission Help
Remembering Buzzy Sproat
EOC News Release
I sadly write to lament the passing of
Buzzy Sproat and to pass my condolences
to his family and friends.
Buzzy was one of Molokai's true
gems and he will be both remembered
and missed for a long time to come. The
large number of people who came out to
attend the beautiful ceremony in his honor
last weekend will attest to that. I found the
ceremony both moving and inspirational.
I was touched to both hear the stories and
testimonies of so many and to see the legacy that will live on by way of the family he
has created. The love and appreciation for
his wonderful man was almost palpable. I
was deeply moved.
In my own life, Buzzy has more than
once graced me with his warmth, generosity and aloha. He has been a model for me

Over-spray Reporting App
Maui Tomorrow Foundation News
Release
Maui Tomorrow Foundation's CleanAirMaui phone app now allows community members on Molokai, Lanai and Maui
islands to report pesticide over-spray. For
those without a smart phone, reports can
be made through the website, CleanAirForKeiki.org.
Maui Tomorrow’s Executive Director,
Irene Bowie states, "With the surge of interest in the damaging effects of pesticides
and concurrent increased use of them
on both sugarcane and GMO crops, we
wanted to give the public a tool to report
incidents of overspray." Bowie says that
there are only five pesticide inspectors in
the state and that the public must become
the eyes and ears of the understaffed regulatory agencies.
She adds, "Not only is this a quick
and easy way to report pesticide overspray but reports are maintained in a database to provide evidence if there were to
be regulatory actions taken."
For further information go to cleanairforkeiki.org , a project of Maui Tomorrow, or phone (808) 244-7570.

Obituaries
Glen Allen Beard Jr.
Twenty-six years
ago, Glen Allen Beard
Jr., fondly known as Allen, Uncleal, UncleAnnie, and Big Al, moved
to Molokai from Texas
to begin a new chapter
in his life.
In 1990, he was offered a job at Molokai Wines and Spirits. From that day on, the
store became his passion. He loved his job
and looked forward to it every day. He became everyone's personal sommelier, and
knew each individual’s taste in wine. The
friendly, tall Texan greeted customers with
"Hi darlin'" or "Hi guys.” He was one of a
kind, a gentle man who did not suffer fools
but was always warm and taking of what
life had to give.
Allen loved music and books, and had
a witty, sarcastic and funny sense of humor.
One of his many sayings was, "How can I
miss you when you won't go away?"
He will be missed by many.
Born on May 21, 1942, he passed
away on June 17, 2014 surrounded by his
son Jason, his sister Brenda and his “darlin” Diane.
A celebration of life will be held at a
future date.
Eternal gratitude to the Yuen family.
Special thanks to the EMTs, the responding firemen and Molokai General Hospital, Queens Medical Center, Oahu, the ICU
nurses and staff and especially to Dr. Ravinder Shergill.
