The annual three-day Ka Hula Piko festival
brought locals and visitors together to celebrate
the birth place of hula on Molokai. This year’s
theme was“Lei `ia Molokai ke aloha hulu mamo,”
or “Molokai wreath in the love of the ancestors.”
In honor of the kupuna, this year’s first Creative
Keiki Contest featured posters, poems and
essays expressing what their kupuna means
to them. Check TheMolokaiDispatch.com for
contest winners.

ith less than 50 yards left of
the Maui to Molokai (M2M)
Race to go, Molokai native and
one-man paddler Carlton Helm snuck
a glance behind and saw two top paddlers –one he recognized as five-time
Oahu Crazy Channel Solo Champion
Kai Bartlett –and realized he was in first
place.
“I got nervous and my hands
cramped,” said the 31-year old. “I just

Helm paddled into Kaunakakai
Harbor, finishing this year’s M2M Race,
held April 28, in first place out of 47
paddlers in his division, with a time of
2 hours and 36 minutes.
Each year, the Maui Canoe & Kayak
Club (MCKC) hosts the race, a 26-mile
outrigger course that stretches across
the Pailolo Channel, starting from D.T.
Fleming Beach Park on Maui and finishing at Kaunakakai Harbor on Molokai.
Over 250 paddlers from all across the
world participated in this year’s race in
or years, Kawela residents living along the highway about
five miles east of Kaunakakai
have experienced flooding of Kawela
Stream during heavy rains. Now, the
year-and-a-half process of replacing
the Kawela Bridge has begun, which
state Department of Transportation
(DOT) officials say should improve
water flow and mitigate future flooding.
Construction of the new bridge is
scheduled to continue through January 2014, according to a statement
from Goodfellow Bros., the Molokai
company contracted to complete the
work. The $8.4 million project is being
paid for with $6.5 million in federal
funds, $1.6 million in state money, and
some additional funding, according to
DOT spokesperson Michael Moscati.
The existing bridge, constructed
in 1940, does not conform to current
state and federal highway standards
and, although it is used regularly by
pedestrians and cyclists, does not
have a designated bike lane, according
to a 2009 draft Environmental Assessment. In addition, the bridge has been
deemed “hydraulically inadequate” to
handle flooding of Kawela Stream.
The new bridge will be almost 20
feet wider than the existing bridge, allowing for a 10-foot wide shoulder on
each side of the highway, said Moscati, via email. The streambed under the
new bridge will be lined with concrete
to protect the banks from erosion and
to facilitate maintenance, he added.
Todd Svetin, Goodfellow Bros.
project manager, said a detour route
will be constructed makai side of the
existing bridge for traffic to use while
the new bridge is being built. Hours of
construction will be from 7 a.m. to 5:30
p.m. Monday through Friday, according to Goodfellow Bros. The company
advises motorists to use caution when
traveling in the construction area, and
follow all traffic control signs and
posted speed limits.
Many local residents hope the
bridge replacement will mean an end
to flooding.
“We are glad construction on the
bridge is beginning,” said Frances
Feeter, a homeowner who lives near
Kawela Stream. “We have been flooded four times in the 20 years we’ve
been living here,” she added. The
Feeters’ property was blocked by debris washed down the highway after
this March’s heavy rains.
Yet Feeter and her husband, Bill,
have doubts about the bridge replacement’s effectiveness.
“While the bridge has acted like a
dam in high run-off times due to lack
of clearance under the bridge, without regular maintenance and clearing
of the rubble underneath, it will keep
happening,” she said. “Residents here
are planning to ‘remind’ the highway
department [to clear debris] each fall.”

The MCKC has been hosting the
race, often dubbed Hawaii’s “funnest”
downwind race, for the past 11 years to
promote environmental awareness and
physical fitness through competitive
ocean sports, according to their website.
“The experience of the channel
crossing and taking home a medal is a
wonderful achievement,” said MCKC
Board President Stacie Thorlakson, via
email. “[Helm’s] performance was stellar and we look forward to seeing him
at the Maui to Molokai (M2M) race next
year!”
Helm, who has been paddling
competitively for nine years, said the
victory is still taking some time to sink
in.
“I was so stoked I couldn’t believe
it,” he said. “The whole point was to
bring pride to the Molokai people and
paddlers and show [them] that people from Molokai could win big races
against big time paddlers.”
Helm would like to thank Kamanu
Composite, his wife and two sons, and the
Helm ohana on Molokai for their support.
Other competitors from Molokai included:

ewly-installed wooden rails
at Papohaku Beach Park were
vandalized last Saturday, according to the Molokai Police Department (MPD). Four wooden rails that
section off the parking lot from the park
were severed by what officials suspect
was a chainsaw.
Zach Helm, Molokai District Supervisor for the county Department of
Parks and Recreation, was contacted
by MPD about the vandalism Saturday
morning. The rails, which the parks department had just finished installing in
January, were meant to keep ATVs and
mud trucks off park grounds to prevent
damage to the irrigation system and
sprinklers, according to Helm. He estimates that the total cost to install the
wooden railing was around $12,000.
“The whole idea was to maintain
the park so that the general public
could have a nice place to go to,” said
Helm. “There’s no place for this [type
of behavior].”
Helm is asking anyone with any
information to report it to MPD, by calling 553-5355.
The Department of Parks and Rec
has already ordered new lumber from
Maui, and hope to have the railings repaired by June. In the meantime, Helm
said they are using plywood as a temporary barrier at Papohaku.

Exploring Molokai
Tourism
By Catherine Cluett | Editor-in-Chief
A
griculture and tourism on Molokai were hot topics for Hawaii
Lodging and Tourism Association president and congressional hopeful Mufi Hannemann when he spoke to
Molokai business people at the annual
Chamber of Commerce meeting last Friday.
“Agriculture has evolved,” he said,
noting the shift from large plantations to
smaller family operations. “Molokai represents diversified ag – homesteaders, small
farmers and conventional [like Monsanto].”
With Hawaii visitors looking for
“more than just a vacation,” agro-tourism
and cultural tourism could be valuable
niches for Molokai, he said, stating the need
to balance how tourism is promoted with
the wishes of those who live here.
Molokai Chamber of Commerce President Rob Stephenson, who was recently selected as a Pacific Century Fellow, said he
shares Molokai products with others in the
Fellows program state-wide to “let people
know our business and agriculture community is thriving.”
Manu Vinciguerra of Kumu Farms,
which recently won the Mayor’s Exceptional Small Business Award, said the
farm has tried to promote agro-tourism
through tours of the fields, but ran into state
regulations and obstructions. She asked
Hannemann to look into how to make it
easier for Molokai farms to promote handson learning.
Along with agriculture, Hannemann
encouraged the Molokai community to
promote St. Damien and soon-to-be St.
Marianne’s legacy in Kalaupapa, who both
worked to help Hansen’s disease patients
exiled to the peninsula.
“People are astounded that St. Damien
is from Molokai,” Hannemann said, calling
the priest’s world-wide recognition “a great
area to identify and explore” for tourism
opportunities.
“There is a perception that Molokai
may not be open and receptive [to tourism],” he said. Community consensus,
proper marketing and cooperation with
county and state tourism organizations
could “go a long way to expelling that
notion in people’s minds,” explained
Hannemann.
Despite some Molokai residents’ fears,
Hannemann assured meeting attendees
that no one wanted to turn Molokai into another Waikiki, stressing the need to ensure
Molokai “remains special but at the same
time creates opportunities,”

In response to the April 18 story “School Bus Services Face Cuts,” which discusses possible Department
of Education cuts to busses for Molokai Middle and High students:
TheMolokaiDispatch.com user Ohia says: Auwe…As a parent whose
child uses the bus service provided by the DOE, this saddens me! I feel
comfortable with taking my child to the bus stop, waiting until he gets on
the bus, and knowing that Spencer’s bus service will get my child to school
on time and safely and that I will be to work on time! I don’t know who’s
on the MEO bus, or getting on later on the way to my child’s school. Not to
mention that our gas prices are astronomical and already impacting our
community greatly!
Perhaps the DOE can consider cutting non-essential staff (i.e, excessive
office staff ) and non-essential administration travel for meetings and
trainings. There are other ways to cut spending that won’t have a
significant impact on our children especially here on Molokai!
In response to the May 2 story “Local Produce, Fresh Menus: Hotel Molokai upgrading food service”:
Facebook user Barbara D Campbell says: Boy oh boy, I can’t wait to get
back over there to visit the hotel and its restaurant, now that it is turning
around and serving fresh local food! Congratulations and mahalo.
Facebook user Manolin Santiago says: This is such a serious issue. If this
goes through, I would bet that the further away from the school you are,
the higher the dropout rate and the higher the number of absences from
school every year. This is terrible not only for the bus service providers, but
more importantly the children of our island, and our future. Mo Education,
Mo Bettah.
In response to the May 2 story “IAM Launches International Petition to Stop Undersea Cable”:
In response to the April 11 story “Molokai Scooters Opens Shop,” which discusses an Oregon couple
who opened a scooter rental business:
TheMolokaiDispatch.com user pupoose says: I was blessed to have spent
10 of the most amazing days of my life on Molokai a few years ago...My
time there perfectly reflects the simple saying of the bumper sticker
“Don’t change Molokai, let Molokai change you” and it certainly did for
the better. The spirit of Molokai lives in my soul and I will forward this
petition to everyone I know.
mkk808: I do think this is a great idea, genius considering the current gas
prices, but it really bothers me that a non- Molokai native or resident for
that fact, can come into our community and set up shop… I think we as
native [Molokai residents] need to really examine what the educational/
career needs of our special and unique community are to allow for a
business like this and others to be owned and operated by locals....
In response to the May 2 story “Living Well: Molokai programs that promote a healthy lifestyle”:
Facebook user Ilima Davis says: It is so easy to get into the “paradise”
mode. We all need to set goals and be dedicated to our own ability and
achievements or else hopelessness sets in.
In response to the May 2 community contributed opinion by Walter Ritte, “GMO Labeling Campaign”:
TheMolokaiDispatch.com user Sponge Bob says: Knowledge is power.
Labeling may be a good thing, but not if it unnecessarily deprives people
of jobs, raises the cost of living for those who do not, or cannot live off the
land, and costs the tax payers more money. I believe we need less laws –
not more laws…

Anyone can start a business on Molokai. There have been many programs
with grant monies to train people to start their own businesses whether
it is in agriculture or whatever. You need to research and stick to whatever
business you start. And you have to put in a lot of time and when you are
making money put it back into the businesses. There are many businesses
that have started on Molokai by local families.
One big way to support these small business is stop buying from Costco
and the Internet. Buy local…

being excellent examples of how inspired creativity continues to flourish,
despite economic and social setbacks.

The Rarest of Orchids
By Glenn I. Teves | County Extension
Agent, UH CTAHR
You would think the rarest orchids would be found
deep in the steamy jungles
of the Amazon or even in an
isolated island such as Irian
Jaya. Although they are found
in one of the most isolated areas of the world, it just happens to be right
here in our Molokai forest. Hawaii has only
three endemic orchids, Ke kino o Kanaloa
or the Hawaiian Jeweled Orchid, Awapuhi
a Kanaloa or the Hawaii Widelip Orchid,
also known as the Hawaiian Twayblade,
and Puahala a Kane, the Hawaiian Bog Orchid. Their flowers are not showy, but these
plants are precious jewels nonetheless.
Of these, Puahala a Kane, Platanthera
holochila, is the rarest. Listed as endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species
Act, only 33 Puahala a Kane plants remain
in the wild; 25 on Molokai, one on Kauai,
and seven on Maui. For this orchid to reach
Hawaii and establish themselves is an astonishing feat, travelling across thousands
of miles of uncharted ocean in the form of
a seed. It’s believed these orchids came to
Hawaii on the muddy feet of migrating
birds such as the Golden Plover, from the
bogs of Southern Alaska to the bogs of Hawaii, including Alaka`i on Kauai, and Pepeopae on Molokai. There, they evolved into
a community of orchids unique from their
continental cousins.
Threatened by wild pigs, the last communities of Puahala a Kane are being carefully protected. Although one seed capsule
of this orchid can produce 1000 seeds, the
challenge was finding the right environment and food source to germinate and
grow them in the hopes of returning them
to the wild. Steve Perlman, a biologist from
the Pacific Tropical Botanical Garden on
Kauai, worked with orchid experts in Hawaii for over 25 years to propagate them,
but with no success. It seemed as though
these plants would slip into extinction in
his lifetime.
The problem was these plants required special mycorrhyzal fungi to grow
well, and formed a symbiotic relationship
by attaching to the roots of orchids actually
extended the root systems, allowing it to
scavenge for food over a larger area of the
forest floor. In 2002, Perlman enlisted the
help of Dr. Lawrence Zettler, professor and
director of the Orchid Recovery Program
at Illinois College and an expert in mycorrhyzal fungi, to figure out a way to grow
Puahala a Kane. After repeated attempts,
the native fungi failed to grow on the orchids in the lab. Using a fungi from somewhere else, and introducing it to Hawaii
was a no-no in the eyes of many, including
the orchid conservation community.
Another strategy was to grow the
seeds on a seaweed-based gelatin called
agar spiked with plant nutrients in place
of the fungi. The gorilla ogo, Gracilaria
salicorna and its Gracilaria cousins are one
of the sources of this agar. The experiment
worked, and growing in this medium for a
year, the plants were pampered on a level
rivaling an intensive care unit for infants.
From a small Midwest laboratory, 85 of the
largest seedlings were carried to Hawaii as
special baggage under the airline seats of
students from Illinois College. About half
were retained at the Olinda Rare Plant Facility on Maui, others to research facilities
in Hawaii to propagate and study them,
and the remainder returned to their mountain homes. Nine plants headed home to
Molokai, but not before another twist to
this saga. On March 11, 2010, the Japan
earthquake hit Hawaii, knocking out the
loading dock for the Maui Princess in Lahaina, but the Puahala a Kane plants were
still safe and on their way to Molokai, finally back to their mountain home in Pepeopae.
International Petition to Stop Undersea Cable
I Aloha Molokai News Release
I Aloha Molokai (IAM) has launched
a worldwide petition to stop Gov. Neil
Abercrombie’s multi-billion-dollar Big
Wind Interisland Cable boondoggle.
Gov. Abercrombie, Hawaiian Electric
Company (HECO) and some House
and Senate members are now finalizing
legislation that would allow the project
to fast-track without sufficient environmental analysis or public review.
Noting the project’s huge potential
impacts on whales and “critically endangered Hawaiian monk seals - one of the
rarest marine mammals in the world – as
well as five species of sea turtles, three
species of dolphins, and hundreds of
other marine species,” the petition adds
that the project “will be rubber-stamped
without due process – without public
input from residents of Hawaii and, not
to mention, everyone worldwide who
wants to protect whales, sea turtles,
seals, and dolphins.”
The cable would be drilled and dynamited through the Hawaiian Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary,
the Penguin Banks, and world famous
Molokai reef, the largest and most pristine coral reef north of Australia. It
would be tied to huge industrial wind
projects covering nearly 40 square miles
of Lanai and Molokai, destroying the islands’ tourism income, natural beauty,
environment, property values, bird and
bats, and cultural and social life.
The project would significantly
raise Hawaii’s electricity rates and severely impact tourism statewide. Yet the
power it might produce could be easily
generated by residential rooftop solar on
Oahu at a fraction of the cost.
Molokai has just been rated America’s most beautiful undiscovered island
and one of the world’s ten most beautiful. Lanai’s Garden of the Gods and other internationally known geologic treasures would be destroyed by the project.
Because the tourism value, beauty, and
natural resources of the Whale Sanctuary,
Molokai reef, and the islands of Molokai
and Lanai are of international significance and concern, IAM has opened the
petition not only to Hawaii residents but
also to signers from all over the world.

Women’s Bamboo & Mud
Building Apprenticeship
Kleiwerks International News Release construction industry are based on reWomen who want to learn natural building techniques have a unique
opportunity at their doorstep this fall
on Molokai. Kleiwerks International’s Women of the Americas Sustainability Initiative (WASI) is hosting a
three-month Women’s Bamboo & Mud
Building Apprenticeship. During the
apprenticeship from September 15
through December 15 that brings together a group of Native Hawaiian
and off-island women to live, learn and
build. Apprentices will construct a startto-finish prototype house for island residents, build a permanent community
commons, develop leadership skills by
facilitating local groups and working as
a team, gain understanding of how one
community is facing issues of “development,” and engage multimedia storytelling strategies to share with larger
audiences.
Ideal apprentices are women who
want to work in the natural building
trades, start a business, teach, build their
own home and the homes of friends,
and be part of the growing ecological
design-build movement. “This apprenticeship is an incredible opportunity to
delve into natural building, as well as
community connections with the people
of Molokai who have a vision of combining Hawaiian culture and modern
solutions for a sustainable future for
their island,” said Emillia Noordhoek,
Director of Sust`aina ble Molokai.
Alternatives to today’s mainstream
claiming and refining the use of local
clays, bamboos and other abundant and
recycled materials. Coupled with indigenous knowledge and permaculture
design systems, natural building technologies play a profound role in creating ways of life that are good for people
and the planet.
Host Emillia Noordhoek is the
WASI delegate from the Hawaiian Island, Molokai, where she is executive
director of Sust `aina ble Molokai and
has spent years engaged with greening Hawaii’s building industry. Lead
Instructor, Ilima Smallwood, is an architect who has been working with bamboo construction for nearly a decade.
Instructor Char O’Brien’s experience in
building with bamboo led her to manage a house building factory for Bamboo Technologies and work with the International Code Council (ICC) to create
a bamboo certification process. Other
instructors will be joining as well.
WASI is an alliance of women leaders who construct, educate, organize,
and advocate for strong and empowered communities through ecological
design-build practices with the aim of
creating a socially and ecologically resilient world.
There are eight seats available for
non-native women to participate. The
fee is $5,000, including all expenses for
three months. For details or to apply

Office of Planning
FOR THE
PUBLIC LISTENING SESSIONS
UPDATE OF THE HAWAII OCEAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Hawai`i Ocean Resources Management Plan (ORMP) sets forth guiding principles and recommendations for the
State of Hawai`i to achieve wise use of the land and water resources of the coastal zone, giving full consideration
to ecological, cultural, historic, and esthetic values as well as the needs for compatible economic development. The
Office of Planning’s Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Program is charged with the review and periodic update of the
ORMP, as well as coordination of overall implementation of the plan. Last updated in December of 2006, the ORMP
takes a place-based approach to management of ocean resources in the islands, based on recognition of the ecological connections between land and sea, the link between human activities and impacts on the environment, and need
for improved collaboration and stewardship in natural resources governance.
The CZM Program is currently updating the 2006 ORMP by conducting an evaluation of the first five years of implementation, identifying areas of focus for the next five years, and determining how the ORMP should be refined or
changed to incorporate new issues.
The CZM Program is seeking input from a wide variety of stakeholders, coastal and ocean users, and those interested
in the management of Hawai`i’s coastal and ocean areas. Come share what’s happening on your island and communities and provide input on coastal and ocean topics needing priority attention in the next version of the ORMP.
Public listening sessions will be held statewide on the following dates and locations:
Open House starting at 5:30 p.m., followed by the Listening Session at 6:30 p.m.

Kualapu`u School Represents At Honolulu 5K for Kids
By Sue Forbes
Kualapu`u School team runners
did Molokai proud this past weekend
at the Honolulu 5K for Kids by taking two age group titles and placing
eight of the ten team members in the
top ten for their age group. Leading
the boys, Kaina Adolpho, ran a stellar race winning the boy’s 11-12 title
in a time of 23:04. Close behind came
teammates Rafael Adolpho and Nainoa Kahale placing third and fourth in
times of 24:08 and 24:15, respectively.
Other standout performances for the
boys included Ikena Deponte, fifth in
the boy’s 9-10 age division, in a time
of 27:18, CJ Adolpho 11th in the boy’s
9-10’s in a time of 28:38, and Ikua DePonte, 13th in the boy’s 11-12’s, in a
time of 25:47.
For the girls, the dynamo of the
day was Keahe Ross. Running in her
first off-island race, Keahe dominated
the competition, winning the girl’s
9-10 title in a time of 25:19. Two minutes later in a duel to the finish, Noelani Helm sprinted past teammate
Genevieve Kikukawa, to claim second
place in the 9-10’s in a time of 27:28.
Genevieve placed seventh in the girl’s
11-12 age division in a time of 27:39.
Moments later, in through the finish
shoot zoomed Ayla Rose Naehu-Ramos finishing in a time of 28:05 good
for fourth place in the girl’s 9-10’s.

Creating Art with Your
Hands
By Kalei “Pumpkin” Moss
Whether you are an expert artist or
an aspiring artist, you can take advantage of Molokai High School (MHS)’s
open ceramics studio and the expertise
of artist Koki Foster on Mondays and
Wednesdays from 2 to 5 p.m. Thanks
to funding from the 21st Century grant
program, MHS is now offering open
ceramics studio time and anyone is welcome to use the tools and equipment
they have to offer.
Koki has been an artist for over
30 years and has been teaching art on
Molokai for 10 years. She is available
to instruct any aspiring artist on different clay techniques, such as hand
building or wheel throwing. The basic
hand building techniques are the slab,
coil, and pinch pot methods. The slab
technique involves creating a flat surface out of clay and pressing shapes and
designs into the slab or using the slab
to construct a cylinder shape. The coil
technique involves rolling the clay into
a long “rope” and then using the rope
to then create shapes. The pinch pot
method begins by forming a ball out of
clay and by using the thumb the artist
pinches and turns the ball to create a
pot, thus the name “pinch pot.”
Once the artists have perfected different hand building techniques, they
are then able to use the pottery wheel
and the wheel throwing technique.
Wheel throwing involves placing the
clay on a large pottery wheel that spins,
and by using pressure and the spinning motion of the wheel, the artist can
then mold the clay into a circular shape.
Due to the higher level of difficulty using the pottery wheel, Koki teaches first
time students the basics before they attempt the wheel. Rachel Steffen, an 11th
grader who attends the open ceramics
studio, explained that using the wheel is
fun but that it can be frustrating.
Some students who attend the
open ceramics studio, like ninth grader
Hikilii Chow and 11th grader Cara Connolly, create pieces of pottery, such as
candleholders, soap dishes, and cups
that they later sell to make extra money. Some MHS students also said that
they enjoy attending the open studio
because, even though they attend ceramics classes during school hours, they
are able to focus in the after school open
studio without distractions and work on
their projects.
If you or your children are interested in attending the 21st Century grant
open ceramics studio at MHS, or would
like more information, please contact
Lisa Takata at 567-6950 or Sandra Czajkowski at 658-0609. Like all 21st Century grant programs, the open ceramics
studio is federally funded and free to
anyone who would like to attend.
As Coach Matt Helm stated after
the race, “The kids really did a great
job this weekend and represented their
island well. They should be proud of
their results considering the size of the
field.” Over 1,400 runners participated
this year.
Molokai’s event organizers would
like to thank our extended Molokai
community for their support. On
Oahu the runners were fed and given
the use of a van by our Molokai ohana:
Tony Negrillo, Ben Balete, Jadelyn and
Bo Pontes. Without their support and
the ongoing support of Molokai’s running community, this trip would not

Kids Take a Pool Stand
By Molokai Dispatch Staff
A
fter the County of Maui reportedly closed the Cooke Memorial Pool in Kaunakakai on
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays three
weeks ago, 10-year-old Taye Mowat
started a petition requesting it stay
open on weekends. “Molokai kids and
adults think that it is not fair that the
Molokai public pool is now closed on
weekends because that is the only time
we have to swim because of classes and
school,” reads the petition. Citing the
heat in Kaunakakai and muddy ocean
water in town, the petition adds “another reason is that gas prices went up
so it costs a lot to go to the beach.” It
had nearly 300 signatures as of Friday,
three days after Taye began circulating
it. She plans to also distribute the petition to other schools and organizations
around the island.

Make a Difference in Hawaiian History
By Kau`i Sai-Dudoit
Over 125,000 pages of Hawaiianlanguage newspapers were printed in
more than a hundred different papers
from 1834 to 1948. They equal a million
or more typescript pages of text -- the
largest native-language cache in the
western world, according to organizers
of the `Ike Ku`oko`a project (liberating
knowledge.) The initiative is gathering
volunteers to transcribe 60,000 digital
scans of Hawaiian-language newspapers into searchable typescript. This
will make the repository of knowledge,
opinion and historical progress as Hawaii moved through kingdom, constitutional monarchy, republic and territory accessible to us today. So far, only
two percent of that repository has been
integrated into our English-speaking
world. Molokai residents are encouraged to participate in this historic effort.
`Ike Ku`oko`a’s goal is to make the
whole available collection word searchable, and to do it by July 31, 2012. To
participate as a volunteer, you don’t
need Hawaiian language skill. You type
what you see. Volunteers log in and reserve a page for typescripting. An image file and a text file are downloaded
and then saved on the volunteer’s computer. The tiff image file is easily enlarged for viewing, and on the text file
one types all the text that is seen on the
page. Though the newspaper is printed
in columns, the typescript spans the
page like a letter. No formatting need-

Jaywalking Enforcement
By Officer Lonnie Ka`ai |
Community Police Officer
As many of you may have noticed, patrol officers have stepped
up their traffic and parking enforcement within the last month. This is
in response to many concerns voiced
by community members as well as
officers observations out in the road.
Parking, speeding, and jaywalking
are among some of the violations that
patrol officers will be on the lookout
for. So please keep this in mind when
traveling our island, as it will not only
help keep you safe but also help you
to avoid receiving a citation.
In this month’s column I wanted
to focus on the enforcement of jaywalking, especially in Kaunakakai
Town. It’s a violation that has gone on
for years here on Molokai, without receiving as much attention as it should
have. With that in mind, you will see
more officers out walking through
town conducting traffic enforcement.
For many, jaywalking may seem
like a harmless act that has been practiced for years, but with the increased
number of drivers and vehicles on
our island, it’s a serious situation just
waiting to happen. Officers have been
out in Kaunakakai educating the community on the importance in utilizing
the crosswalks, not to mention saving
themselves the $130 fine. However,
citations will eventually be issued to
violators, so please be aware of how
you cross our roadways.
Police officers will continue to actively patrol our island in an effort to
educate the community and enforce
our state and county laws. Please help
keep our community a safe place for
us all, aloha.
All information obtained via public records at the Molokai Police Department.

Goodbye to Crystal Meth
By Pukanala Alcon
or suffocated I could always turn to you.
Although my family and friends thought
you were stealing me away, I was so devoted to you I told them they were all
wrong.
Just to prove to them that you weren’t
the reason I was failing in life, I left you
behind and tried to go to college. Like a
good friend that you were, it wasn’t long
before you found me again. I tried to give
you the cold shoulder but you were so
convincing and loveable that I let you right
back into my life again and this time we
spent even more time together.
At the age of 24, my life was only
about you. I was so in love with you that
while being with you, I lost everything
that I held close to me, like my family ,my
friends, my kids and most of all, myself.
You consumed me and held me in
the tightest grip until the age of 31. By that
time you got me arrested, my home was
My dearest, most beautiful, most precious, most dependable Crystal Meth or
so I thought you were. You and I’ve been
together since I was 13 years old. I thought
you were meant for me and I was meant
for you. When I first started hanging with
you, you made me feel like Superman.
During my adolescent years there wasn’t
a problem I couldn’t handle or a mountain
too high to climb. I could overcome anything as long as I had you by my side.
After a couple of years together, you
became the most important thing in my
life. There was nothing I wanted to do or
no one I wanted to be with unless I had
you by my side. In high school my best
memories were being with you and everything I did in school I did with you.
You were there when I had my first
two kids and anytime I felt overwhelmed
Molokai
Mom on a
Mission
raided twice, and even through that, I still
found my way back to you – until one day
you did what I never thought you’d do.
You had my kids taken away by CPS. For
19 years, I’d been with you but that was
the last straw.
So now I have to let you go not cause
I have to or the judge says I have to or
anyone else says I have to but because I
want to let you go. This time I’m letting
you go for good because you took away
everything I ever wanted, my goals, my
morals, my life, my pride, my heart, but
not my soul. That was one thing you tried
your best to take from me all those years
when I was high and breaking the law but
I wouldn’t let you have my soul.
So goodbye batu, goodbye to the
load, goodbye to the high times cause
there is no more room for you in my life.
No more cloudy days, only sunshine,
goodbye Crystal Meth. Aloha oe!
By Mercy Ritte
As beads of perspiration gathered
across my forehead, I realized it was
unusually hot for a 7:30 a.m. morning
walk. I peeked through the top of my
stroller, and thank goodness my little
one remained unaffected by the heat.
Instead, he babbled gleefully and
pointed to nearly everything in sight.
Some mornings I’m faced with a
relentless wind or an unexpected rain
shower, but with a plastic weather
guard over my child’s stroller, he remains protected from the elements.
As for me, I can stand to be without
warmth and feeling uncomfortable,
as long as through it all, my child remains unaffected.
This led me to wonder. What
about other aspects of my children’s
lives? Protecting them from Mother
Nature is one thing, but what about
the larger, more dire issues that are beyond my control?
For instance, I can’t just slip a
plastic guard over my house on days
like January 15th, when toxic dust
from Monsanto’s corn field invaded
my home. Don’t think the dust is
toxic?
According to Prison Planet,
“Monsanto’s Roundup and modified ‘biopesticide’ known as BT were
found to be killing human kidney
cells, actually exhibiting direct toxicity
to human biology.”
The Huffington Post also reported, “As long ago as 1980, glyphosate,
the chemical on which Roundup is
based, can cause birth defects in laboratory animals.” Another study released by the International Journal
of Biological Sciences, analyzed the
effects of genetically modified foods
on mammalian health. Researchers
found that Monsanto’s genetically
modified corn is linked to organ damage in rats, particularly the kidney and
liver. This is frightening stuff!
If it takes wearing a cap with
“MONSANTO POISONS LIFE” every
day, in order to heighten awareness,
then I’m going to do it! I’m a “Molokai Mom on a Mission,” determined to
see that our children and future generations remain unaffected by the impact of corporate greed for power and
profit.
Something to remind ourselves:
“Most of the important things in the
world have been accomplished by
people who have kept on trying when
there seemed to be no hope at all.” –
Dale Carnegie.

Ka Mo`olelo O Leahi
The legend of Diamond Head
By Kahuna Lono
In the ancient days, in the island
of O`ahu (the offering place) on the
coastline of Kaimanahila (directly
east of Waikiki Beach), a la`i fish was
born. His name was Nahe, and he
was unlike any other fish of his species because the maunalua came (big
barreling wave) and sucked him out
to sea. He knew the deep blue sea as
his first home, unlike most la`i that
live on the kahakai (reef). He grew up
playing with the kohola (whale) in the
winter time, and the mano kama`aina
(local sharks) were his companions
throughout the rest of the year.
One day as he was heading out
with the mano, named Kila Ua, all of
a sudden a big school of ahi became
the feast of ka mano Kila Ua. As he
was feasting upon the school with his
voracious appetite, la`i Nahe saw a
very beautiful ahi and moved right in
in front of ka mano Kila Ua to protect
the ahi from being eaten. Her name
was Le`a, and it was an instant love
connection.
This occurred directly outside the
waters of Diamond Head, otherwise
known as Leahi. All the fishes of the
area – the mano kama`aina, the wise
octopus, the ula, and the traveling kohola – felt so warm to see such an odd
couple: a little la`i, less than a pound
in weight, and a 400 pound ahi.
Ku o ke Kai and Kanaloa met
with Hina in a stellar reunion up
above. They all were moved with this
wonderful affair. Kamaka, the lady
of the sea, came over as well and she
suggested that the two should be perpetuated as one. So La`i and Ahi conceived Lai Ahi, a fish only found in
the Diamond Head area, which is half
la`i and half ahi. To this day, they are
still seen up on the shoreline, jumping
and catching their meals, especially
on strong Ka Moa`e (tradewind) days.
Lai Ahi became the name of that
area. Eventually, as the language became written, Lai Ahi was changed
to Leahi, and this concludes this
mo`olelo kahiko.

What’s Up Maunaloa
Column by Kehau Pule
How do you
know what will happen tomorrow? Life
is like the morning
fog – it’s here a little
while, then it’s gone.
Yep, it was a close
call for me due to an
allergic reaction that caused me to
have a hard time of breathing. Living
in Maunaloa and being so far away
from any emergency response team it
was pretty scary. But within 20 minutes, Engine 9 fire truck was up the
hill from Ho`olehua to my rescue.
Mahalo guys for doing such a great
job as always and to the EMS that re-
sponded shortly afterwards.
I’d like to thank my bible study
Women of God that came to my home
prior to the emergency response and
kept me calm and stable, and for praying over me, how awesome is that! To
my girls who were there at my side,
thank you so much. So here is a little
wisdom: appreciate each day to the
fullest and don’t take life for granted
because tomorrow may never come.
Here’s the latest scoop regarding our community park. I spoke to
Dayton Bicoy of Molokai Ranch and
Zeke Kalua of the Mayor’s office.
We’re in the talking stage of turning
over the park to the County of Maui.
The Ranch is willing to lease the land.
I will keep you posted. Mahalo to Jim
7
Bevill who have been cleaning up the
trash and trimming of the hedges. So
far, no damages have been done to
our newly revitalized park but kids,
please pick up all your trash when
you leave.
As we approach Mother’s Day,
do something special for your mom
or that special lady in your life. This is
your roving reporter closing with this
thought of the day. “Bear with each
other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against another.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:13 NIV. A hui hou and God
bless. Email me at kehaunani52@
gmail.com is you have a comment
and mahalo nui loa to all my faithful
readers!
Living Well with Arthritis Workshop
County of Maui News Release
If you or a loved one lives with arthritis, a workshop coming to Molokai
may help you learn a better lifestyle. The
County of Maui Department of Housing
and Human Concerns’ Office on Aging
is sponsoring a “Better Choices, Better
Health” Living Well with Arthritis selfmanagement workshop beginning on
Thursday, May 10 on Molokai.
The Living Well with Arthritis
Workshop focuses specifically on the
unique challenges faced by individuals that live with arthritis and related
conditions such as fibromyalgia, osteo-
arthritis which cause stiffening of the
bones and joints.
The workshops consist of a series
of six classes that focus on learning
and implementing practical skills used
to stay healthy and control symptoms
through relaxation, nutrition, improved
communication skills, medication management, exercise and more. Participants develop achievable “action plans”
that lead to positive changes and greater
confidence.
The workshop series will run on
six consecutive Thursdays from 9:30
a.m. to 12:00 p.m. beginning May 10 at
the OHA/DHHL Conference room. The
cost for the series is $10 for those 60 and
older, and $35 for those under 60. Scholarships are available for anyone under
60 experiencing financial hardship.
Participants will receive “Arthritis
Helpbook, 6th Edition,” and an audio
relaxation CD, “Time for Healing.”
Advance registration is required as
space is limited to 14 participants per
class. Small interactive classes focus on
building skills, sharing experiences and
developing support.
For more information or to register,
please call Kaui at 560-5393.
This picture was taken on Saturday, April
28, 2012 at 12:18 p.m. If I’m not mistaken,
the optimal time for watering plants
outside is before 9 a.m. or after 5 p.m.,
not mid-day when the temperature peaks
and evaporation occurs most rapidly. As
you can see, Monsanto is not practicing
responsible farming nor are they being
considerate of the neighboring residents
and farmers who all share the same
limited water supply, during this season
of drought.

Will
ARIES (March 21-April 19): In one of your past lives, I think
you must have periodically done something like stick your
tongue out or thumb your nose at pretentious tyrants -- and
gotten away with it. At least that’s one explanation for how
confident you often are about speaking up when everyone else
seems unwilling to point out that the emperor is in fact wearing
no clothes.This quality should come in handy during the coming
week. It may be totally up to you to reveal the truth about an
obvious secret or collective delusion. Can you figure out a way to
be relatively tactful as you say what supposedly can’t or shouldn’t
be said?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus actor Daniel Day Lewis
will star as American president Abraham Lincoln in a film to
be released later this year. Hollywood insiders report that Lewis
basically became Lincoln months before the film was shot and
throughout the entire process. Physically, he was a dead ringer
for the man he was pretending to be. Even when the cameras
weren’t rolling, he spoke in the cadences and accent of his character rather than in his own natural voice. It might be fun for
you to try a similar experiment in the coming weeks, Taurus.
Fantasize in detail about the person you would ultimately like to
become, and then imitate that future version of you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The idea of a housewarming
party comes from an old British tradition. People who were
moving would carry away embers from the fireplace of the
home they were leaving and bring them to the fireplace of the
new home. I recommend that you borrow this idea and apply it
to the transition you’re making. As you migrate toward the future,
bring along a symbolic spark of the vitality that has animated the
situation you’re transitioning out of.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): My friend Irene has a complicated system for handling her cats’food needs.The calico, Cleopatra,
demands chicken for breakfast and beef stew at night, and all of
it absolutely must be served in a pink bowl on the dining room
table. Caligula insists on fish stew early and tuna later. He wants
it on a black plate placed behind the love seat. Nefertiti refuses
everything but gourmet turkey upon waking and beef liver for
the evening repast. If it’s not on the basement stairs, she won’t
touch it. I’m bringing your attention to this, Cancerian, because
I think you could draw inspiration from it. It’s in your interests, at
least temporarily, to keep your loved ones and allies happy with
a coordinated exactitude that rivals Irene’s.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The moon’s pale glow shimmers
on your face as you run your fingers through your hair. In your
imagination, 90 violins play with sublime fury, rising toward a
climax, while the bittersweet yearning in your heart sends warm
chills down your spine. You part your lips and open your eyes
wide, searching for the words that could change everything.
And then suddenly you remember you have to contact the
plumber tomorrow, and find the right little white lie to appease
you-know-who, and run out to the store to get that gadget you
saw advertised. Cut! Cut! Let’s do this scene again. Take five. It’s
possible, my dear, that your tendency to overdramatize is causing
you to lose focus. Let’s trim the 90 violins down to ten and see if
maybe that helps.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):“We all need a little more courage
now and then,”said poet Marvin Bell.“That’s what I need. If you
have some to share, I want to know you.”I advise you to adopt his
approach in the coming days, Virgo. Proceed on the assumption
that what you need most right now is to be braver and bolder.
And consider the possibility that a good way to accomplish this
goal is by hanging around people who are so intrepid and
adventurous that their spirit will rub off on you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the Byrds’ 1968 song
“Fifth Dimension,” the singer makes a curious statement.
He says that during a particularly lucid state, when he was
simply relaxed and paying attention, he saw the great blunder
his teachers had made. I encourage you to follow that lead, Libra.
According to my analysis of the astrological omens, now would
be an excellent time for you to thoroughly question the lessons
you’ve absorbed from your important teachers -- even the ones
who taught you the best and helped you the most.You will earn
a healthy jolt as you decide what to keep and what to discard
from the gifts that beloved authorities have given you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):What are the most beautiful and
evocative songs you know? What are the songs that activate
your dormant wisdom and unleash waves of insight about your
purpose here on earth and awaken surges of gratitude for the
labyrinthine path you have traveled to become the person you
are today? Whatever those tunes are, I urge you to gather them
all into one playlist, and listen to them with full attention while at
rest in a comfortable place where you feel perfectly safe. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you need a concentrated dose of the deepest, richest, most healing emotions you
can tap into.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Tourists rarely go to the
South American nation of Guyana. That’s mostly because much
of it is virgin rain forest and there are few amenities for travelers.
In part it’s also due to the reputation-scarring event that occurred
there in 1978, when cult-leader Reverend Jim Jones led a mass
suicide of his devotees. Last year, after travel writer Jeff Greenwald announced his trip to Guyana, his friends responded with a
predictable joke:“Don’t drink the Kool-Aid!”-- a reference to the
beverage Jones spiked with cyanide before telling his followers
to drink up. But Greenwald was glad he went. The lush, tangled
magnificence of Guyana was tough to navigate but a blessing to
the senses and a first-class adventure. Be like him, Sagittarius.
Consider engaging with a situation that offers challenging gifts.
Overcome your biases about a potentially rewarding experience.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “You have more freedom
than you are using,”says artist Dan Attoe. Allow that taunt to get
under your skin and rile you up in the coming days, Capricorn.
Let it motivate you to lay claim to all the potential spaciousness
and independence and leeway that are just lying around going
to waste. According to my understanding of the astrological
omens, you have a sacred duty to cultivate more slack as if your
dreams depended on it. (They do!)
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you’ve been tuning in to my
horoscopes during the past months, you’re aware that I have
been encouraging you to refine and deepen the meaning of
home.You know that I have been urging you to get really serious
about identifying what kind of environment you need in order
to thrive; I’ve been asking you to integrate yourself into a community that brings out the best in you; I’ve been nudging you
to create a foundation that will make you strong and sturdy for a
long time. Now it’s time to finish up your intensive work on these
projects. You’ve got about four more weeks before a new phase
of your life’s work will begin.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Is your BS-detector in good condition? I hope so, because it’s about to get a workout. Rumors will
be swirling and gossip will be flourishing, and you will need to
be on high alert in order to distinguish the laughable delusions
that have no redeeming value from the entertaining stories that
have more than a few grains of truth. If you pass those tests, Pisces, your reward will be handsome:You’ll become a magnet for
inside information, valuable secrets, and unusual but useful clues
that come from unexpected sources.

Aunty’s Corner
Column by Kathy “Kapua” Templeton read and the meet the great staff! If you
Aloha,
Aunty
here… Lawdy Miss
Claudy, have you taken the PenAir plane to
Maui? This is a plane
that has come from
Alaska and is leased by
Island Air for about one
year. It shakes, rattles
and shudders! There is not a ramp so
you have to go down those steep metal
stairs. You have to step up in order to
get into the seats or you fall flat across
the seats like I did. The seats are really
very nice leather. There are two seats
on one side and one seat on the other.
I think the plane was a bush plane in
Alaska. The steward and stewardess
were lovely; love the coffee in the a.m.
The steward looks enough like our
Todd to be another brother.
It’s so fun to go into the library
and see all the people I know. I recommend that you join the Friends of the
Molokai Public Library. The Friends
do the Saturday books sales throughout the year, do baby gift bags, put on
events, help raise money to buy things
for the library, they gave the beautiful sign outside, the CD rack inside,
to name a few things they do or have
done. The Library will be celebrating
75 years of service to the community
on May 23 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Come
help celebrate this wonderful place to
love fun mystery stories check out the
cat sitter series written by Blaize Clement. According to goodreads.com, “Author Blaize Clement has thrilled readers
everywhere with the first six books in
her pet-sitting mystery series. Blaize’s
beloved heroine, Dixie Hemingway, is
back for another adventure, and she has
her hands full when the worlds of celebrity hijinks, counterfeit fashion, and
naughty cats collide.”
I want to take a moment to thank
the staff at Friendly Market, especially
the young man who is in charge of the
coffee isle and orders Keurig Coffee Kcups; the really calm man who orders
the pet food and never loses his cool
with me always asking if he got in the
special stuff. Congrats to Ka’ala who is
hapai and soon to have her wee one,
and Noe at the front office and the ladies at the check-out also who are so
helpful to me even though I get really
rattled sometimes. Also want to thank
the two young men from Oceanic cable
who did a terrific installation job for
me! And finally, the staff at Goods and
Grinds who always give me a glass of
water when I drop off the paper. Woo

Kiaaina for Congress
Esther Kiaaina News Release
Esther Kiaaina, who has strong family
ties to Molokai, is seeking the Democratic
nomination for Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional
District seat.
Kiaaina is a devoted and effective public servant who has dedicated her life to the
betterment and improvement of society. Her
passion for our communities, deep knowledge of issues and proven record of legislative accomplishments set her apart as a
leader who is ready to continue fighting for
Hawaii’s families as their Representative in
Congress.
Family values play an important role
in Esther Kiaaina’s life. Through the inspiration of her late father (Melvin Leialoha
Kiaaina from Kalihi, Oahu) and mother
(Lorelei Haunani Kiaaina from Kalamaula,
Molokai), Esther’s core values include respect, hard work, sacrifice, commitment to
community, and faith in God.
During her early years of life, Esther
knew full well the value of hard work and
sacrifice. While her immediate family was
separated from ohana in Hawaii because of
10
her father’s vocation as a
civilian worker with the
U.S. Navy in Guam, her
parents never wanted
their children to forget
their ancestral roots and worked hard to
provide financial and educational opportunities to send them home to Hawaii for high
school to be with family.
Esther also fostered the “entrepreneurship spirit” at an early age. Apart from her
father’s federal job, her mom Lorelei started
“Duke’s Nursery,” a mom and pop plant
nursery that eventually became one of the
largest landscaping small businesses on
Guam. Esther spent much of her free time
helping at her parent’s business.
Esther’s upbringing was also shaped
by a respect for all cultures and for the region of Oceania. Being raised on the island
of Guam which had its own indigenous
Chamorro culture, Esther fully understands
the pride of Native Hawaiian culture, but
also deeply respects all cultures that call Hawaii home.
For more information on Kiaaina’s
campaign, visit kiaaina.com.
Esther Kiaaina visits her ohana at the home of Aunty Yola Meyer Forbes in Ho`olehua, Molokai.

Veteran’s Corner
Column by Jesse Church
Aloha my fellow
veterans and residents
of Molokai, old Jesse
here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. The
Navy Cross was designed in the 20th
century but features a 15th century sailing ship. Why? Sculptor James Earle
Fraser designed the Navy Cross in 1919.
The U.S. needed an award after joining
its allies in World War I because there
was no other decoration to give besides
the Medal of Honor. The Navy Distinguished Service Medal and the Navy
Cross were created to fill this need. Until 1942, the Navy Cross was the thirdhighest valor award, and was handed
out for both combat and non-combat
heroics. Fraser considered using an image of a World War I-era destroyer for
the Navy Cross but opted for the classic ship as a more timeless option for
the award, according to Naval History
and Heritage Command. His design
requires a three-part construction that
continues today – the cross and frond
and back medallions are soldered together. Trained eyes are able to tell a
fraud if the Navy Cross is not constructed in this way.
With three openings on the U.S.
Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims,
Sen. Richard Burr has introduced legislation requiring that judges who serve
on the court reside within 50 miles of
Washington D.C., where the court and
its staff will be located. The idea, according to his spokesman, is to make
sure openings are filled by judges who
are committed to providing veterans
with the timely and efficient decisions
they deserve. Burr’s proposed resi-
dency requirement was referred to the
Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee on
which he serves as the ranking Republican member. It is not clear whether the
restriction will become law, but Burr’s
position gives him sway over the appointment of federal judges to the appeals court.
Memorial Day is fast approaching,
on Monday May 28. I’d like to remind
everyone that the local VFW Post 3870
will hold their annual Memorial Day
Service at the Veterans Memorial Park
in Kaunakakai on Sat., May 26, at 9:30
a.m. All are welcome, questions call
553-5730.
As soon as the Molokai Veterans
Caring for Veterans provides me with
the information on their plans for Memorial Day, I will get it out to everybody.
If anybody has any questions, suggestions, news, or would just like to
talk, please give old Jesse a call at 5533323. I’d like to thank everybody for
your continuing support of our troops
were ever around the globe they may
be stationed, especially those men,
and women that are in combat zones
around the world. For all they do for
us, we send them a big mahalo, and
to our veterans for all they have done
for us, and to the residents of Molokai
for all your continuing support. When
you’re out and about and you see a veteran, thank him or her for their service.
It will not only make that veteran feel
good, but it will also make you feel the
same. I hope that all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai have a
wonderful week, and please remember
that old Jesse loves you all. Until next
week, aloha.

Molokai Earth Day
Celebration
On behalf of The Nature Conservancy and the 2012 Earth Day Committee, I
would like to say Mahalo nui loa to everyone who made the 2012 Molokai Earth Day
Celebration so special. From the theme
of “Mau ka honua i ka ua! Through rain,
earth continues!” to the Malama Kuleana
Honua (Caring Responsibly for Earth)
Conservation Award, everything about our
20th anniversary event went smoothly and
successfully. It was so special to honor Bill
Puleloa as the first recipient of the conservation award.
I want to especially recognize our
Earth Day contributors: Alu Like, Ane
Bakutis, Bobo’s Auto Service, Chris K.
Chow, D.D.S., Coffees of Hawaii, CY Electric, D Man, Dan Bennett Pottery, Dr. Daniel McGuire, Dow AgroSciences, DOFAW,

ket, GT Enterprises, Hikiola Cooperative,
Humpback Whale, Imports Gift Shop, Kalaupapa National Historical Park, Kalaupapa Rare Adventure, Kualapu`u Market,
L & R Farms, Maui County Recycle, Misaki

Rawlin’s Chevron, Swenson, Sustainable
Molokai, Take’s Variety Store, The Moore
Center, Molokai Chamber of Commerce,
and 4-H Clover Loafers. I want to also extend my appreciation to our Co-sponsors
the County of Maui Mitchell Pauole staff.
Mahalo nui loa to all!
Edwin T. Misaki
TNC Molokai Program Director
SB2785 Passes the Senate
Mahalo to all those who testified in
opposition to Senate Bill 2785, a bill which,
according to legislators, provides a framework for Big Wind. Legislatures commented about all your calls, letters, visits and
emails – we got their attention.
The bill passed at the very last minute,
with acknowledgements of our concerns.
The senate floor discussion on SB2785 centered on opposition from Lanai and Molokai. Senators Hee, Chun Oakland and
Slom voted “no”, and we congratulate and
thank them for having courage to say NO.
Ten senators voted “with reservations,”
which means that a majority of the Senate
had problems with this bill.
Now we need to raise the volume and expand the audience. We need to let HECO
ratepayers know what this bill really will
do.
It was misleading to hear senators, especially the Chair of the Senate’s Commit-
13
tee on Energy and Environment, say that all
the bill does is establish a regulatory framework should a cable be built. That’s really
not all it does. What it really does is give the
green light to potential cable developers by
guaranteeing them and HECO a complete
recovery of their expenses through HECO
ratepayer bills.
Watch out, Molokai, Pattern Energy
aka Molokai Renewables is gearing up.
The finance company for Pattern Big Wind
developer is Biological Capital, which has
formed a company called Hawaii Interisland Cable Company. Sen. Gabbard may
say SB2785 was not to build a sea cable today, but there is a company waiting in the
wings.
Continue to speak out and educate
your neighbors, friends, and family to say
no to Big Wind and the undersea cable.
