Page 5 Molokai Schools Celebrate in Style By Molokai Dispatch staff I t is that time of year when Molokai keiki transform from students in T-shirts to royalty in satin gowns and sashes. Around here, May Day is known as Lei Day. And each school presents its own theme, ranging from the Hawaiian monarchy to the celebration of ancestors. “It’s a true celebration of the culture,” said Lisa Takata, student activities coordinator at the high school. May Day first began in Hawaii in 1928, according to state documents. Poet Don Blanding suggested a holiday to pay tribute to the Hawaiian custom of making and wearing lei – thus becoming Lei Day. Molokai’s own schools take to the holiday with enthusiasm, crowning Lei Day kings, queens, princes and princesses. In doing IG N B 5 EE R S SC T V’ 6 so, they perform mele and hula for their `ohana and community. The May Day court is normally comprised of ladies-in-waiting, spears men, a king and queen, and a prince and princess for every Hawaiian Island. Representatives don the specific color and often flower of each island. The court is usually nominated and voted on by their peers; they are usually seen as role models, said Lani Fawyer, an educational aid at Kilohana Elementary. The court offers a few songs to the crowd, such as the middle school’s court [Photo 3], singing with their classmates. Starting in Middle School, the stakes are a little higher – the queen auditions for her role.

All queens have a solo hula, and Maunaloa Elementary Queen Christine Rawlins Santiago [Photo 2] danced to `Ohai Ali`i Kaluhea, performing with all the grace that befits a queen. But the queens don’t get all the attention. The whole school takes part in the festivities – such as King Keoki KealohaKaauwai of Kilohana Elementary [Photo 6] leading his princes in a hula. The preschoolers of Kaunakakai Elementary [Photo 5] sang a mele as a part of their May Day program, and students at Kualapu`u School joined together to tell the story of Kalaupapa and Saint Damien [Photo 1].

The first of its kind on Molokai, the Safety Fair especially targeted the island’s youth, educating them about what they can do to protect themselves and the community. The Safety Fair was brought to Molokai by MECO and the Fire Dept. “We had a very good turnout,” said Fire Inspector Rick Schonely. Both Awai-Dickson and Schonely expressed hope the Safety Fair could become an annual event. Molokai Habitat for Humanity is seeking to fill a site supervisor position for the new Rehabilitation and Energy Upgrades program. ——————————— Correction K eiki learned about electrical safety through an interactive display at last week’s Safety Fair held at Mitchell Pauole Center. Pictured above, Maui Electric Company’s Kau`i Awai-Dickson demonstrates household and workplace safety by triggering sparks in an Electrical Hazard Simulator to enthralled spectators. “When they’re out in everyday small appliances - coffees & teas - kitchen gadgets - aprons - place mats - local artwork - knives L ast summer, we conducted a field trial to evaluate over 30 varieties of hot chili peppers. The trial and field day was a success – over 50 Glenn I. Teves residents attended, and many were able to sample and take home hot peppers. We also conducted the same trial in Waimanalo about the same time with similar results. Alton Arakaki and I discussed two major pests, the broad mite which deforms the young leaves, and the pepper weevil which drills into the flower and causes premature flower drop. The Hawaiian chili pepper is very late maturing, and therefore very susceptible to pepper weevil, and it showed when all the flowers dropped before we were able to sample them. Luckily, we were able to analyze Hawaiian chili pepper samples from the Waimanalo trial for hotness. Along with Sustainable Agriculture Specialist Ted Radovich and Ag Technician Faith Tuipulotu, we also conducted a timed harvest to determine how long it took to harvest different types of peppers – from the .22 bullet Thai pepper to the large Chocolate Habanero. The data shows that the smaller the pepper, the longer it took to harvest so labor costs become higher with the small ones. In order to make a fair profit, you have to sell the smaller ones at a much higher price, and this is an important factor if you’re selling Hawaiian chilies. Fresh Hawaiian chilies were retail- ing for $10 a pound at Tamashiros Market in Kalihi, so half of this price would be the wholesale price, but I would sell it for more, considering the labor involved in harvesting it. Texas A&M hot pepper researcher Dr. Kevin Crosby collaborated on the trials and shared many of the latest pepper cultivars with us. He was able to analyze the peppers from our trial for capsaicin content, another way to measure hotness in peppers. We expected the Habanero to be the hottest, but other sizzlers were a surprise to us. The TAM Mild Jalapeno was next, with Hawaiian chili not far behind. The Habanero types Red Caribbean, Peto Orange, and Chocolate Habanero ranged from 17000 to 23000 units, while the sleeper was TAM Mild Jalapeno which ranged from 18000 to 21000 when it was supposed to be mild. The Hawaiian Chili from the Waimanalo trial ranged from 10000 to 17000, just a notch behind the two. Keahi, a hot chili from the Big Island, was next at 13,000 units. The remaining chilis ranged from 39 to 9000 units. These results point to the fact that within a variety, there’s a need to select for the taste and hotness you want, and continuing to improve your variety. This is what seed saving is all about. Hopefully, some of field day participants saved seed to plant this summer. Hot weather makes for a hotter pepper, so plan to harvest in the heat of summer. Water stress just before harvesting can make it even hotter, but don’t kill the plants. My mouth is hot already!

I Community Contributed Historical Kaunakakai Wharf Part I in an ongoing series about Molokai’s history. By Arleone Dibben-Young I n 1899, American Sugar Company constructed a wharf with a mole (a large stone pier) onehalf miles long to accommodate the sugar operations. The stones were brought from two heiau in Kalama`ula named `Opae`ula (red shrimp) and Pu`upapa`i (crab hill), and remain part of the structure of today’s wharf (picutred below). The older previous wharf is located just west of the Molokai Canoe Club and is visible at low tide. American Sugar Company built a railroad from the end of the mole up through Palaau and Iloli to the middle of the Ho`olehua plateau. Locomotives were imported to the Hawaiian Islands – however, never made the journey from Oahu to Molokai – and a huge coal dump was formed at Kaunakakai to supply fuel. A large camp was constructed and labor was brought in, creating the village of Kaunakakai. The Kaunakakai mole, between the wharf and the shore, was too narrow for ordinary road vehicles. To overcome this disadvantage, a railroad flat-car (pictured above) on tracks was drawn by a reliable, “flea-bitten” grey mule named Hattie, who was replaced later by a brown mule named Hannah. The mule hauled freight and passengers from steamer to shore. In the earlier days, an unusual mode of transportation was employed by George Trimble to move sugar cane from his fields in Kawela. After he had loaded the cane on a small barge, draft animals towed it through the shallows between the reef and the shore to the sugar mill in Kamalo, a distance of five miles.

T Lions Roar Molokai Lions Club News Release T he Molokai Lions Club sponsored its annual “Sight Is Beautiful” poster contest at the elementary school level this past season. Three schools participated this year and over $250 have been awarded to students from kindergarten through sixth grade. Three first-place winners went on to the state level and one of those was chosen to receive an award from the Hawaii Lions Foundation at a later date. Community Contributed Let Positive Outweigh Negative Wellness Circle column by Dr. John Havey I would like to experience more positive emotions but my mind goes towards the negative. What’s up with that? It’s a wellness paradox. There appears to be a paradox concerning our wellness. It appears that the brain finds it easier to attend to negative situations, especially after momentary life challenges. For example, an individual may feel unsafe or threatened but there is no actual danger in the moment. On the other hand, it is very important for human beings to experience positive emotions for building our health, our relationships, and our psychological reserves. So, if positive experiences do not outweigh negative ones in our external environment, then we may benefit from generating life-giving, internal environments through the gift of relaxation, imagination, gratitude, savoring, interest, and joy, to name a few. Quieting our negative radar and enhancing our capacity to be kind to oneself may help with the wellness paradox. The following students have received their prize money from the Molokai Lions Club.

By Heather Driscoll M olokai High School’s Mason Horner and Kanahele Montizor made it to the tennis state championships last week in Kailua-Kona, representing Molokai with their double prowess. They came away just one game shy of entering the finals. Seniors Horner and Montizor defeated a team from Baldwin High School, 6-4, 6-3, but were later eliminated by Kilani High School of Honolulu – who rank seventh in state – 3-6, 0-6. “It was good playing schools out of the normal Maui County schools,” Horner said. Coach Stacey Horner said that amid the intense pressure of competing in the state championships, the boys performed well and should feel proud to make it beyond the Maui Interscholastic League finals. “They had a real good shot,” Stacey Horner added. “They took the lead [in the second game] but fell short in the end.” Stacey Horner said this year was the last season for all the boys on the team, being they are all seniors, and will begin the recruiting process for next year.

Modernization Plan By Catherine Cluett Department of Human Resources News Release M ikal Torgerson feels right at home in small towns. That’s why he chose to make Molokai his home and take on the position of Molokai Staff Planner with the County of Maui Planning Department. Torgerson took over for former Molokai planner Nancy McPherson at the beginning of this year. Torgerson, originally from a small town in rural Montana, graduated high school in Panama and attended University of Montana to earn his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture. He went on to start two architecture firms in Colorado. Torgerson said his wife is from Maui, and once his firms became wellestablished, they decided to fulfill their long term goal of relocating to Maui to be closer to her family. They moved at the end of last year, and Torgerson said they plan to become permanent residents of Molokai this July. He said he was originally one of the applicants for the Kalaupapa Administrator position, but was not chosen as the final candidate. However, when he heard about the Molokai Staff Planner opening, he knew it was for him. “The planning position suited my skill set perfectly,” said Torgerson, referring to his background in architecture and planning. Torgerson said his main goal as Molokai planner is to expedite the projects that come before him so people will be less likely to build without proper permitting. He says he hopes to build confidence in the Planning Department so that the County won’t stall on projects or be seen by applicants as “capricious.” It must be a small world, because he said he has already met seven or eight people on Molokai from the same rural area of Montana from which he hails. “A similar thing draws us all there [to Molokai] – friendly people, a small town atmosphere, and lots of natural beauty.” LOST DOG REWARD WHERE: Kamalo Area (Across Rin’s Place) WHEN: May 1st, 2010 BREED: Beagle Mix COLOR: Main body is black.

I strongly encourage the next Governor to revive our plan, because a modern processing system would greatly improve customer service while saving about $8 million each year for taxpayers.” The Legislature blocked the EPOD plan on the Neighbor Islands, and even requires any pilot project on Oahu to stop by June 30, 2011. The new law also prevents implementation of any pilot project until DHS completes a lengthy process of adopting new administrative rules, conducting public hearings and engaging in consultation for a second time with the Hawaii Government Employees Association (HGEA) – something that is not normally required when internally reorganizing a state agency, Koller pointed out. Under the original DHS plan, the processing of applications and renewals for public assistance would take place at two consolidated centers in Honolulu and Hilo, rather than at 31 separate small offices scattered across the Islands. Because of the efficiencies created by EPOD – including a call center, online applications and a streamlined workflow – fewer government employees would be needed to handle the caseloads. HGEA staunchly opposed any layoffs of union workers and joined with Representative John Mizuno and other legislators in conducting a statewide push to discredit the EPOD proposal. “The new law, by design, does not allow DHS to achieve a quick solution to this crisis. Despite these constraints, DHS will continue doing all it can to improve customer service over the next seven months, but this will fall far short of the convenient and speedy system we could have implemented through EPOD, such as opening the Honolulu processing center in June,” Koller said.

T ricia Allen sits with the books she’s authored spread before her, pen in hand. A lei po`o rests atop her salt and pepper hair, her fair-skinned face curving in a mild-mannered smile. A couple of tattoos peak out of her Hawaiian print shirt. But you’d never guess by looking at her that Allen is a tattooist and expert on Polynesian tattoo history and art. “It’s a mark that identifies who you are and where you’ve been,” Allen says of tattoos. A Kane`ohe resident, Allen visited Molokai last Saturday for a book signing at Kalele Bookstore in Kaunakakai. Her most recent book, “The Polynesian Tattoo Today,” is a compilation of 216 photos representing the work of 73 artists from around the globe. The event attracted a generous audience, from local tattoo artists to “tattoo virgins,” curious to find out more. “I’ve wanted to meet this woman for 15 years,” said Teri Waros, owner of Kalele Bookstore and Divine Expressions. Creative Process While her last book, “Tattoo Traditions of Hawaii,” delves more into the history and context of tattoos in Hawaii, “The Polynesian Tattoo Today” has very little text – a sure hit on your coffee table. It beautifully highlights the artists’ work itself. “Lots of people just want to share their art and not write about it,” she explains. To create the book, Allen contacted many of the world’s most well-respected Polynesian tattooists she had met or heard of. She asked them to send photos of their work or contact their clients for photos. In some cases, she arranged photo shoots to capture the images. Out of 748 submissions, 216 images made the final cut. The product is a stunning presentation of the best Polynesian-style tattoos around the globe, from small pieces to art that covers much of the body. Allen has traveled the world studying Polynesian tattoo traditions, and combines her academic background with an organic and deeply cultural understanding of the art. She says the average time with a client before completing the tattoo is eight months. That time is spent getting to know her client and helping them design a tattoo that means something to them. Both body placement and the design itself influences the meaning of a Polynesian tattoo. Every symbol has meaning, though that meaning can be different for each individual, according to Allen. Tattoos and Academia Allen hasn’t always had a passion for tattoos. She was working at the Denver Art Museum, where there was a display featuring a full body tattoo. “I used to walk by the display, thinking ‘why would anyone do that?’” But Allen’s interest in tattoos grew – sparked, she says, by an interest in the cultural, historical and artistic aspect of Polynesian tattoo traditions. She went on to get her master’s degree in Anthropology from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, completing her master’s thesis on the early practice of tattooing in the Marquesas Islands. Get Your Green On By Paulele Alcon H Christopher Souloumiac of Positif Tattoo in Aubagne, France, freehanded this beautiful back-piece on Christophe in 8 sessions of approximately 5 hours each. For Christophe the tattoo symbolizes power, protection and harmony. Photo and caption courtesy of Tricia Allen. She continued her studies, researching the revival tattooing in the Pacific Islands, including Samoa, Aotearoa, the Society Islands, the Marquesas, Rapa Nui and Hawaii. She trained to become a tattooist herself, and has now tattooed over 8,000 members of the Polynesian community. “Now half my friends look like that guy in the case at the museum,” she laughs. Learning the Art Tattoos aren’t always pretty – sometimes they’re ugly, Allen admits. But they are a part of you, often marking important transitions in your life. She says the first time she held a tattoo machine, she was tattooing herself. The results weren’t necessarily pretty but proved a valuable part of her training. She says she makes her apprentices learn the same way. One of the biggest challenges of tattooing, she explains, is using the right amount of pressure to hit certain depths of the skin tissue. The only way to learn what is too deep and what will fade is to observe that tattoo over a period of time. You can either do that by learning on yourself or learning on your dog, she laughs. Allen has campaigned for hygienic practices around the world, and says she has seen a huge improvement in some areas. She has also worked to revise state statutes for tattoo licensing and testing for people to become a legal tattooists. Allen talked with her audience about the challenges of tattooing, its history and revival in the Pacific Islands, its cultural and social implications today, and her own mana`o as a tattooist. “I’m just a tool in this process – to find out what’s in your mind, put it on paper, and eventually on the skin,” Allen explained. Allen’s books are available at Kalele Bookstore, Coffees of Hawaii, Molokai Public Library, on Allen’s website, www. thepolynesiantattoo.com, and other locations.

By Molokai Dispatch Staff I t was a week of intense fun and fundraising for Aka`ula School, which hosted both the Spring Disco and a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta. Last Wednesday brought a night of Latin dance, raffled piñatas handmade by Aka`ula students and parents, and a grand prize of a helicopter tour of Halawa Valley and Molokai’s north coast. The Spring Disco was also a hit last Friday evening, where a lively group of keiki and teens danced the night away. Aka`ula encountered a shortfall with funding this year – about $3,500 short – which prompted an emergency meeting in April to discuss fundraising options. Two ideas that emerged were the Spring Disco and the Cinco de Mayo Fiesta, said parent and fundraiser organizer Alicia Bicoy. “It’s challenging to find resources when living on a small island,” Bicoy said. “And it’s difficult asking the same people year after year to give money. They just can’t do it, especially with this economy.” Pictured left, Aka`ula students gathered to sing “La Bamba,” a Mexican folk song, in honor of Cinco de Mayo. Held at Hotel Molokai, the evening also featured music by Molokai Jazz and the new hit band, MoPac, comprised of half the members of Mobettah band and half of Six Pak. At the disco, youth packed Mitchell Pauole Center – some released their energy on the dance floor with break- dancing moves, while others enjoyed concession snacks and cruised with friends. Maui County holds discos at Mitchell Pauole Center once a month with a $2 cover charge, donating a portion of those proceeds to organizations who wish to “piggy back” on the already existing event to help raise money. Aka`ula received $1 of the cover charge and any profit made from the concession snacks. Bicoy added the school also offered chicken plates at $8 a piece to help raise funds that would help cover the school’s operational costs, teachers’ salaries and other yearly expenditures.

Typically, it refers to a person who overrides her highest artistic standards or her soul’s mandates in order to make a bundle of money. But I want to enlarge the definition to encompass any behavior that seeks popular appeal at the expense of authenticity, or any action that sacrifices integrity for the sake of gaining power. I think you have to be especially on guard against this lapse in the coming days, Aries -- not only in yourself but also in those you’re close to. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “I can’t live the button-down life,” says cartoon character Homer Simpson. “I want it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles.” Born May 10, Homer is unusual for a Taurus. Many of your tribe love the creamy middles but are quite content to live without the terrifying lows, even if that means being deprived of your fair share of dizzying highs. While that may sometimes seem like a boring limitation, I don’t expect it to be any time soon. The creamy middles that are looming for you are the lushest, plushest creamy middles I’ve seen in a long time. Terrifying lows and dizzying highs will be irrelevant. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Spanish painter Francisco Goya created an etching entitled “El Sueño de la Razón Produce Monstruos.” Its two possible translations have very different meanings: “The sleep of reason produces monsters” or “The dream of reason produces monsters.” The first version suggests that when our reasoning faculties go dormant, we’re susceptible to doing dumb and crazy things. The second version implies that if we rely excessively on our reasoning faculty, it acquires a lunatic hubris that devalues our emotions and distorts our imagination. You’re more susceptible to the former than the latter right now, Gemini, but it’s crucial that you avoid both. A way out of your pain is available if you use your reason just right -neither too little nor too much. getting your fortune told by a rebel optimist like me? You should know that all my horoscopes are rooted in the hypothesis that expecting the best makes you happier, safer, kinder, wilder, stronger, and smarter. What happens in the coming weeks will, in my opinion, be dramatic proof of that. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The bad news is that climate change is really underway. That’s why Purbasha Island in the Bay of Bengal has sunk beneath the waves, swallowed up by rising sea levels and shifts in monsoon patterns. The good news is that its disappearance has ended a dispute between India and Bangladesh, both of which claimed it as their own. There’s nothing left to fight over. I foresee a metaphorically comparable scenario coming to your life, Libra: an act of nature that will render a conflict irrelevant. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some experts say methamphetamine is more addictive than any other drug. Here’s one reason why, according to “Mothers Against Methamphetamines” founder Dr. Mary Holley: “The effect of an IV hit of methamphetamine is the equivalent of 10 orgasms all on top of each other lasting for 30 minutes to an hour, with a feeling of arousal that lasts for another day and a half.” At least that’s what it’s like in the early stages of using the drug. After a while, hell sets in and the body is no longer happy. Luckily, you Scorpios won’t be tempted to fall victim to meth splurges any time soon. Without relying on anything more than your natural powers, your capacity for experiencing erotic pleasure will be substantial. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your eyes can discriminate between about 500 various shades of gray. Let’s hope your moral compass is as precise in its power to distinguish subtle differences. Why? Because there will be no easy black-versus-white decisions to make in the near future; no simple, foolproof way to determine the distinctions between good and bad. I recommend that for now you give up hope of achieving utter certainty, and instead celebrate CANCER (June 21-July 22): Some of your illusions seeped the refined pleasures of nuanced, complicated truth. into you before you learned to talk. Others sneaked into you later, while you were busy figuring out how to become CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): These days you have an exyourself.

Wo o e e e did you go to the Ag Fair? It was so cool. My kumu, Aunty Kauila and Aunty Molly were two of the judges for the lei contest. I neglected to write the other two auntys’ names down, auwe! The lei were the most beautiful ones I’ve ever seen. I’m sure it would take me hours but I’ll bet it wasn’t like that for these experts. Sean Naauau was so fabulous. The chickens were clucking, the horses were moving in a circle and the food booths were cooking up a storm. Great fair! Way more cool then the famous Puyallup Fair in Washington State. My sweet friend Aunty Ku’ulei is in the hospital. She is doing well but I wish she didn’t have to go in there. The sign said please respect her rest and only have no more than four people at a time and stay five minutes. When I was near the door there was lively music. I went in and found at least 10 people, what a party! I had to laugh. I had to dance a hula for her. Kissed her on the cheek and left, didn’t want to tire her out. Tee Hee. The Hui at Home Pumehana hosted the Kamehameha Guitar Club. There were 10 young men and women who played and sang and even did a funny tango. They helped out at One Ali’i fish pond before performing for us. They were a delight. The Baptist Church is hosting a Ladies Throughout the Generations, May 15. Ladies will be sharing their memories. They can come dressed in the style of their generation. Sounds like fun! One of my subscribers called all the way from Santa Fe, New Mexico. She used to live here for 30 years. Wow. There was a very tall gentleman that came into the Dispatch the other day. He had a very long, beautiful feather that was an Eagle feather. I asked him how he could have that. He said his grandmother was Shoshone and someone gave it to him. So cool. I’m still looking for someone to come and read or tell me what my wall hangings say. They are all in Chinese. I am so excited that I was given a scholarship to go back to school at the MCC Molokai. I am going to take basic Hawaiian language, basic Hawaiian cultural practices, and intro to Hawaiian culture. Our beautiful Kanoe has moved to Hilo on the Big Island. I am going to be taking over her position. Send me good vibes because she was the very best at doing all this.

The reasons given for having the rally were all valid to me, being a 29year cancer survivor. I am adding two products that Walter forgot to mention made by Monsanto that I have also had to delete from my diet in order to stay alive. 1) RBGH, or Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone, is used to make cows grow bigger, faster and produce more milk, shortening their lives considerably. 2) Aspartame, found in over 5,000 household foods, is 16,000 times sweeter than sugar, according to the book “Why There’s Antifreeze in your Toothpaste – The Chemistry of Household Ingredients” by Simon Quellen Field. When I stopped using aspartame, I stopped having seizures – which began soon after I began its use. So nice to see the recognition of love for the human race instead of business as usual. Thanks Walter and all who showed up.

DWS says there is not enough water for fire protection; in order to have legal requirement, an upgrade from 4 inch water line to 8 inch is needed. If this is the case most of Kaunakakai’s buildings would be illegal at this time. Molokai Petroleum tanks next to the Veteran property would need a 100 inch water line for protection, God forbid if a fire was to happen. A year and a half ago, Maui County issued a building permit to a newcomer to build a new house on a 3 inch water line about two hundred feet from the Veteran property. The house is built. In the three and a half years of the Molokai Veteran Special Management Area (SMA) permit process, the director of the Department of Water Supply stated in a letter to the Maui Planning Department that there is an 8 inch water line fronting the Veteran property.
