July 9, 2014 - Volume 30, Issue 28 The Molokai Dispatch p T h e i s l a n d ’s n e w s s o u r c e s i n c e 1985 Lei in Remembrance By Laura Pilz | Staff Writer W 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. Lei Continued pg. 3 Photos by Laura Pilz Grassroots Concert Raises Money and Awareness By Bianca Moragne | Staff Writer I 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 Grassroots Continued pg. 2 This Week’s Dispatch Ice Challenge Warms Hearts Krazy for Kolea Kontest Pg. 2 Pg. 3 The Molokai Dispatch P.O. Box 482219 Kaunakakai, HI 96748 4-H Ranchers Put Skills to the Test By Bianca Moragne | Staff Writer J 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- Polinahe Bishaw Mokiao, winner of the reserve championship in the showmanship division stands next to her pig.

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. The Molokai Dispatch at your service!

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. Daniel Lehmann has been leading worship since the age of 19 through Youth 4h Expo Continued From pg. 1 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.” You can bring in your own design or we can help build your business card.

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.” Community News Support Molokai`s only newspaper by supporting our generous advertisers.

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 Lei Continued From pg. 1 Erika Stein Espaniola, superintendent of Kalaupapa National Historical Park, spoke with emotion during the morning’s ceremony as she shared her experiences of living in the community. “It is important that we remember the stories and the experiences and what those experiences have taught us,” she said. “I know for myself, [the kupuna] have taught me about humility and humanity. Of love and devotion, of faith, of life and death.” Boogie Kahilihiwa and Meli Watanuki represented fellow patient residents not in attendance and were asked to place the first lei of the day. Instagram Contest Results 3 $100 prize for reporting this kolea! observer of the first confirmed sighting will win a Kolea Research T-shirt from the Hawaii Audubon Society. The nine runnerup observers will receive a gift certificate for a scoop of ice cream at Kamoi Snack ‘N Go. Any individual reporting a banded kolea will receive $20, and the observer of the one-legged kolea marked with a green 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 top band bottom band, bird’s right leg top band bottom band. Some birds will have bands on one leg only while others will have bands on both legs. All banded birds will be confirmed. To report your kolea call Arleone 5535992 or email researchbirds@yahoo.com. 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. “A couple weeks ago I wasn’t sure if we would have a couple hundred [lei],”confessed Inglis, who added that because of concerns over invasive species coming from other islands to Molokai, it was determined that it would be best if all By Molokai Dispatch Staff A few weeks ago, we asked you to share your photos of what summer on Molokai means to you on Instagram and we received nearly 40 colorful entries. We’d like to congratulate the winner of our #happysummermolokai photo contest, Instagram user meeska, for her photo showing a summer adventure in progress from the back of a Jeep. Meeska won a gift certificate to Kualapu`u Cookhouse. Thanks to all of our fantastic photographers who entered the contest, and please stay tuned for the next one! the lei coming from the other islands be ti leaf lei. “We are incredibly humbled and grateful for the support from so many people to make this happen,” Inglis said. “Every person that picked flowers or leaves for us, every person who helped make lei are here with us today. And the many kupuna from the couple hundred year history are here as well.” Hui Malama Makanalua plans to make Lei Hali`a O Kalaupapa an annual event and is already planning next year’s ceremony.

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.

The Molokai Dispatch • July 9, 2014 • 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.” From Puko`o Fire Station to Kaunakakai Route 1-1a 1-2a 1-3a 1-4a 1-5a 1-6a 1-7a 1-8a Puko'o Fire Station 5:20 AM 6:55 AM 8:15 AM 10:50 AM 12:10 PM 1:30 PM 3:05 PM 4:40 PM Kalua'aha Estates 5:25 AM 7:00 AM 8:20 AM 10:55 AM 12:15 PM 1:35 PM 3:10 PM 4:45 PM Kilohana School 5:30 AM 7:05 AM 8:25 AM 11:00 AM 12:20 PM 1:40 PM 3:15 PM 4:50 PM 6 St. Joseph Church 5:35 AM 7:10 AM 8:30 AM 11:05 AM 12:25 PM 1:45 PM 3:20 PM 4:55 PM Kawela Plantation I 5:45 AM 7:20 AM 8:40 AM 11:15 AM 12:35 PM 1:55 PM 3:30 PM 5:05 PM Hotel Mkk / One Ali'I Park 5:50 AM 7:25 AM 8:45 AM 11:20 AM 12:40 PM 2:00 PM 3:35 PM 5:10 PM MCC / MPC / Midnite Inn 5:55 AM 7:30 AM 8:50 AM 11:25 AM 12:45 PM 2:05 PM 3:40 PM 5:15 PM Entertainment astrology Free 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. week Word of the Support Molokai’s only newspaper by supporting our generous advertisers.

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.

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 Interested in college? Don’t know where to start? The Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) can help! The EOC can help make navigating the world of college easy.

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."

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.
