Deaths

our Hawaiian monk seals have
been found dead in the state since
mid-November – and three of
those have been on Molokai.
Three of the four deaths have been
deemed of suspicious causes by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) officials after completing necropsies, or animal autopsies. The
first death occurred on Molokai in midNovember, when an adult male seal’s
body was discovered on the southwest
shore.
The second, a young female, was
also found dead on the island’s southwest shore, late last month. Human interaction is suspected in both cases, according to NOAA Hawaiian monk seal
recovery coordinator Jeff Walters. He
said further details are being withheld
during the ongoing investigations.
A young male Hawaiian monk seal
was found dead several days later on
Molokai’s west coastline. Evidence was
inconclusive in determining whether or
not the third death was suspicious but
tissue samples are being tested further.
All seals found dead on Molokai had
been born in Kalaupapa, and one was a
second generation offspring, whose mother was also born in Kalaupapa.
A fourth seal death on Kauai last
Tuesday is also believed suspicious by
officials.
Rising Tensions
Some on Molokai, particularly local
fishermen, blame monk seals for depleting fish populations, and tensions have
been rising over the past several years
as the monk seal population in the Main
Hawaiian Islands has been slowly increasing.
Molokai activist Walter Ritte has
taken a strong stand in supporting the
critically endangered species. In a statement released last month, he emphasized Hawaiian monk seals are native
to the area, and need to be treated with
respect.
“The death of these Hawaiian
Monk Seals on Molokai is an indication of a dangerous trend that must be
stopped,” he said. “The seals are now
the easy targets of blame for the many
ills of our depleting fisheries. [But] these
seals are not only Hawaiian, but have
been here longer than the Hawaiians.”
Nearly Extinct
Walters said the recent rate of
deaths is not sustainable if the species is
to survive. “Losing four like this is not
a good thing, especially if three are not
natural deaths,” he said.
With fewer than 1100 monk seals
surviving today, each individual is important to saving the population, said
the Department of Land and Natural
Resource (DLNR)’s Elia Herman. The
population is already declining statewide at a rate of 4 percent per year – a
rate at which scientists predict the species could disappear in 50 to 100 years.
Harassing or killing a Hawaiian
monk seal is against state and federal
law, with penalties of up to five years
imprisonment and up to $50,000.
Herman said a reward to obtain
tips on the causes of the deaths might
be set this week. Anyone with related
information is asked to call NOAA’s hotline at 1-800-853-1964 or DLNR’s Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement at (808) 873-3990.

Yacht to Continue Molokai Visits, For Now
ByCatherine Cluett
A
merican Safari Cruises (ASC) is
resuming scheduled two-day
stops to Molokai later this month
after company officials, local protesters
and state and federal authorities reached
an agreement. The 36-passenger yacht
temporarily ceased docking on Molokai
in early December after residents raised
concerns about local protocol not being
followed in allowing the boat to add
Molokai to its Hawaii itinerary.
“We are grateful to the wonderful
people of Molokai for their true aloha
spirit. We hold tremendous respect for
their unwavering desire to preserve
their traditional lifestyle for future
generations,” said Dan Blanchard, ASC
CEO.
Local activist Walter Ritte, who
led protests against ASC docking, said
the agreement was reached because by
the next scheduled visit this month,
the community will have had time to
discuss the yacht’s stop. By Jan. 17, a
series of island-wide public meetings
will have been held by the `Aha Ki`ole,
a resource management group that has
acted as a neutral advisory body on the
island.
“It was fear that first started the
problem,” said Kamalu Poepoe, a Molokai `Aha Ki`ole leader at the Kawela
moku meeting, held last Wednesday.
She said business people were afraid
to bring the proposal to the community
for discussion, and it was fear of losing
control over local resources that raised
concern within the community.
After working with state and federal authorities and local groups, an
amicable agreement has been reached
to allow the yacht unimpeded visits to

title of “beloved mother of outcasts,” according to a press release from the New
York-based Sisters of St. Francis, to which
Mother Marianne belonged.
“We are twice blessed in Hawaii with
the recent canonization of St. Damien and
now with the canonization of this woman of great intelligence, dedication and
love,” said Honolulu Bishop Larry Silva
in a statement.
Mother Marianne is depicted at
left in a painting by Molokai-raised artist Philip Sabado. Each image within
the painting holds symbolism in Marianne’s life, and a few are explained here
by the artist.
In the upper left corner, St. Damien
is portrayed; Mother Marianne was at
his bedside after only being on Molokai
for seven months before he passed. On
Blessed Marianne’s left, Queen Kapiolani is represented because of her love
and compassion for her people. It was
said that as she wept she thanked the
sisters for coming to take care of “My
poor afflicted people.” The girls that the
sisters cared for [at right] were taught
culture, music and drama to enrich their
lives and as a means to escape their imprisonment.
The plumeria blossoms in the center of the painting have special meaning.
A visiting Sister saw the painting before
its completion and offered to tell a secret.
Apparently, when a doctor had traveled
to New York to invite Mother Marianne to
come to Hawaii, he carried fresh plumeria
blossoms in his hands to entice her; she
loved flowers, and it worked.
The fern to either side of the plumeria represents mementos sent in the letters
to her Mother Superior in Syracuse, New
York. Marianne had no gifts to send, so
she pressed ferns from Kalaupapa.
The scene at the bottom is inspired
from a picture of these Sisters coming
from Sunday Mass with the girls buffeting the wind found in a tattered book the
artist read over 25 years ago.

statement. The yacht will return to its
regularly scheduled two-day visits Jan.
21-22, 2012.
“There is room for businesses, but
we have a responsibility and commitment to each other… that we are going
to do this wisely,” Poepoe said.
“We asked [ASC] to hold off until
we could talk it out in the community,”
said local activist Walter Ritte, who led
protests against the yacht’s stop. “That
was always been our position.”
He said he and other residents
were “forced to protest because [ASC]
wouldn’t stop coming.”
Ritte said the public mana`o gathered at the meetings still has to be compiled and discussed before an ultimate
resolution can be reached, which may
take up to two additional months. In

the meantime, the yacht can continue
to make Molokai stops, he said.
“It’s up in the air whether [ASC
will be allowed to] continue but it’s almost guaranteed that some conditions
will be placed on it,” Ritte added.
Residents who attended last
week’s moku meeting were invited
to write suggestions on post-it notes
within general categories such as land
use, ocean, tourism and cruise ships.
Their mana`o will be compiled and
added to Maui County’s Molokai Community Plan, which is in the process of
being updated.

Young Brothers Rate
Increase Approved
PUC News Release
OHA Grant Supports
Molokai Energy Festival
IAM News Release
Y
oung Brothers cargo service’s
request to raise their rates has
been approved, though not by as
much as they had originally requested.
The company’s customers this year will
be paying 16.58 percent more than last
year for shipping. The Hawaii Public
Utilities Commission (PUC) approved a
settlement reached last month between
Young Brothers (YB) and the Division
of Consumer Advocacy and ruled on a
disputed issue in the Young Brothers’
rate case.
The approved settlement and decision reduced Young Brothers’ original
request for an increase of 23.97 percent
($14,195,000 in additional revenue) to an
increase of 16.58 percent ($10,574,932 in
additional revenue). Young Brothers’ main
argument for a rate increase was to sustain
its ability to serve customers because cargo
volume has fallen short of its forecasts.
“The [PUC] strives to balance a utility’s financial health with adequate service
at reasonable rates. We recognize that rate
increases are difficult for customers, espe-
cially in today’s economic climate, but regular cargo service is critical in maintaining
economic activity throughout Hawaii,”
said Hermina Morita, chair of the PUC.
The PUC’s decision approved rate
increases in the container, flatracks/platforms, automobile, roll-on/roll-off cargo,
G-Vans, and other less than container load
cargo categories, at various percentages;
allowed other changes to Young Brothers'
tariff; and granted use, subject to conditions, of a new internal financial closing
schedule.
In the decision, the PUC also restated
its authority to examine, through an order
to show cause or other investigative proceeding, Young Brothers’ actual earnings
to ensure that earnings do not result in a
windfall in an improved economy where
actual cargo volume surpasses the forecasted cargo demand relied upon to determine the approved rate increase.
More detail about Young Brothers’
application can be found on the PUC’s
website, puc.hawaii.gov, on the Select
Dockets page (see Docket No. 2010-0171).

Aloha Molokai (IAM), an organization that opposes the proposed Big
Wind project on Molokai and the
undersea cable, is pleased to receive an
Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) grant
of $9,500 to assist in staging the first Alternative Energy Festival on Molokai.
Molokai residents pay some of the
highest energy costs in Hawaii, but consume the lowest amount of energy. However, rates continue to increase and energy
costs are a major portion of a household
budget and contribute to the high cost of
living on Molokai.
The Energy Festival, scheduled for
Friday, Jan. 13 and Saturday, Jan. 14, 2012,
will initiate an information exchange of
ways to reduce fossil fuel use. The festival will also help residents to understand
Molokai’s future electrical generation options without destroying the landscape
with large-scale industrial projects.
The OHA funds will be used to bring
off-island speakers and assist in staging
the family–oriented event. The weekend’s
schedule includes panels of speakers, alternative energy vendors, youth poster
contest, energy management workshops
for residents, and off-island entertainment
and food at the ho'olaule'a.
For more information about the Energy Festival and IAM, contact Cheryl Corbiell, at 808-553-9009 or IAlohaMolokai@

Lions Roar
Eye glasses collection
By Jackie Cushman
O
n Jan. 28, the 64 Lions Clubs
in the state of Hawaii will observe Lions in Sight, a day to
recognize the collection of used eye
glasses and hearing aids. Off-island
clubs have gotten together with local
merchants and set up stations to accept used glasses and aids. Molokai
doesn’t plan any station site but asks
the community to consider that day
in particular to take unwanted or unneeded glasses and aids to any one of
the many merchants/clinics here on
island that display a Lions Club Box
for Glasses and Aids. Locations include Molokai Drug store, Misaki’s,
Friendly Market Center, Molokai General Hospital, Molokai Family Health
Clinic, Molokai Community Health
Clinic, Bank of Hawaii, Mana`e Goods
‘n’ Grindz, Maunaloa General Store,
and Kualapu`u Market. If you have
any questions about the project or a
location please call Lion Shirley Fulkerson at 553-5984.
This past year, Lion Jim Bryan of
the Kamehameha Lions Club traveled to
Afghanistan on a mission to help distribute hundreds of used glasses and aids.
These used glasses were collected here
in Hawaii and arranged according to
prescription for disbursement to those in
need. Millions of used glasses and aids
are cleaned, refurbished, and labeled according to strength at several mainland
locations and distributed to needy people throughout the world. Please help
in this effort. The collection of glasses is
an ongoing yearly project of the Molokai
Lions Club.

Bridging Home and School
Submitted by Lydia Trinidad
K
ualapu’u Elementary Public
Conversion Charter School
held a parent learning opportunity to bridge the school with the
home. This was the school’s first parent-child activity that focused on technology – how a web-based curricular
resource offers hands-on, engaging,
and relevant learning opportunities
for both parent and child. It’s All
About Kids was proud to partner with
the school to design, develop, and implement this parent activity.
All attendees shared positive feedback and requested more events like this
parent engagement event. According to
Principal Trinidad, “… since the workshop, a parent told me that they used
BrainPOP for their 8th grade child to
understand linear equations. Also, grade
one teachers are immediately using and
looking for topics to supplement math
instruction. The use of videos helps children understand math concepts in simple form.” Also, one father shared, “Our
kids can’t stop talking about BrainPOP!
What a great alternative to television and
video games. Excellent!”
For Kualapu`u School parents,
if you wish to use BrainPOP at home,
please call the school for the username

Word of the Week
By Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Sanskrit word tapasya is translated as
“heat,” but in the yogic tradition it means “essential energy.” It refers to the
practice of managing your life force so that it can be directed to the highest
possible purposes, thereby furthering your evolution as a spiritual being. Do
you have any techniques for accomplishing that -- either through yoga or any
other techniques? This would be a good year to redouble your commitment
to that work. In the coming months, the world will just keep increasing its
output of trivial, energy-wasting temptations. You’ll need to be pretty fierce
if you want to continue the work of transforming yourself into the Aries you
were born to be: focused, direct, energetic, and full of initiative.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Live out of your imagination, not your
history,” says Stephen Covey, author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. While that’s always true, it will be especially crucial for you to
remember in 2012. This is the year you can transcend stale traditions, Taurus
-- a time when you can escape your outworn habits, reprogram your conditioned responses, and dissolve old karma. You will be getting unparalleled
opportunities to render the past irrelevant. And the key to unlocking all the
magic will be your freewheeling yet highly disciplined imagination. Call on it
often to show you the way toward the future.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Comedian Steven Wright says his nephew has
HDADD, or High Definition Attention Deficit Disorder. “He can barely pay attention, but when he does it’s unbelievably clear.” I’m predicting something
like that for you in the coming week, Gemini. You will encounter more things
that are dull than are interesting, but those few that fascinate you will awaken
an intense focus that allows you to see into the heart of reality.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): As I contemplate the most desirable fate
you could create for yourself, I’m reminded of a lyric from one of my songs:
“We are searching for the answers / so we can destroy them and dream up
better questions.” Here’s what I’m implying by that, Cancerian: This is not the
right time for you to push for comprehensive formulas and definitive solutions. Rather, it’s a favorable moment to draw up the incisive inquiries that
will frame your quest for comprehensive formulas and definitive solutions.
That quest is due to begin in two weeks. For now, raise your curiosity levels,
intensify your receptivity, and make yourself highly magnetic to core truths.
By Kolonahe Balbas
hawaiian: Kulia
• DEFINITION: Ka ho a`o `ana e ho`oko i ka pahuhopu
• TRANSLATION: To try and reach a goal
• EXAMPLE: Ua pono au e kulia i ka hana ma ko`u ha`awina pili home.
• TRANSLATION: I need to try my best in all I do especially on my homework.
English: Columbarium
• DEFINITION: A structure with recesses in thewalls to receive the ashes of the dead.
• EXAMPLE: The Molokai Veterans Cemetery will be getting two new columbariums
Pidgin: Get’em
• DEFINITION: To get something; to have a situation or thing under control.
• EXAMPLE: Mom – “I tole you foah clean yoah room ganfanit!” Son – “No worry beef curry – I
get’em already.”
• TRANSLATION: Mom – “Darn it, I want you to clean your room.” Son – “Yes mom, it’s already
taken care of.”
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “A writer -- and, I believe, generally all persons -must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource,” said author
Jorge Luis Borges. “All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our
misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay,
so that we may shape our art.”I agree that this advice isn’t just for writers, but
for everyone. And it so happens that you are now in an astrological phase
when adopting such an approach would bring you abundant wisdom and
provide maximum healing. So get started, Leo: Wander through your memories, reinterpreting the difficult experiences as rich raw material that you can
use to beautify your soul and intensify your lust for life.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Poetry is the kind of thing you have to see
from the corner of your eye,” said the poet William Stafford. “If you look
straight at it you can’t see it, but if you look a little to one side it is there.” As
I contemplate your life in the immediate future, Virgo, I’m convinced that his
definition of poetry will be useful for you to apply to just about everything. In
fact, I think it’s an apt description of all the important phenomena you’ll need
to know about. Better start practicing your sideways vision.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A Swedish man named Richard Handl decided
to conduct a scientific experiment in his kitchen. Would it be possible to split
atoms using a homemade apparatus? He wanted to see if he could generate atomic reactions with the radioactive elements radium, americium, and
uranium. But before he got too far into the process, the police intervened and
ended his risky fairy-tale. I bring this to your attention, Libra, as an example
of how not to proceed in the coming weeks. It will be a good time for you to
experiment around the house -- refining your relationship with your roommates, moving the furniture around, and in general rearranging the domestic
chemistry -- but please avoid trying stuff as crazy as Handl’s.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In 1878, Thomas Edison perfected the phonograph, a machine that could record sounds and play them back. There had
been some primitive prototypes before, but his version was a major improvement. And what were the first sounds to be immortalized on Edison’s phonograph? The rush of the wind in the trees? A dramatic reading of the Song
of Songs? The cries of a newborn infant? Nope. Edison recited the nursery
rhyme, “Mary Had a Little Lamb.”When you make your own breakthrough in
communication sometime soon, Scorpio, I hope you deliver a more profound
and succulent message.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I suspect you may soon find yourself in
a situation similar to the one that 19th-century American President Abraham
Lincoln was in when he said the following: “If this is coffee, please bring me
some tea. But if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.” In other words,
Sagittarius, you may not be picky about what you want, but whatever it is,
you’ll prefer it to be authentic, pure, and distinctly itself. Adulterations and
hodgepodges won’t satisfy you, and they won’t be useful. Hold out for the
Real Thing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Last summer, before the football season
started, sportswriter Eric Branch wrote about a rookie running back that San
Francisco 49er fans were becoming increasingly excited about. The newbie
had made some big plays in exhibition games. Would he continue performing at a high level when the regular season began? Were the growing
expectations justified? After a careful analysis, Branch concluded that the
signs were promising, but not yet definitive: “It’s OK to go mildly berserk,” he
informed the fans. That’s the same message I’m delivering to you right now,
Capricorn. The early stages of your new possibility are encouraging. It’s OK to
go mildly berserk, but it’s not yet time to go totally bonkers.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In summer, the pickleweed plant thrives in
the saltwater marshes around San Francisco Bay. In many places, bright orange patches of the dodder plant intermingle with the pickleweed’s sprightly
jade green, creating festive displays that suggest nature is having a party. But
there’s a secret buried in this scene. The dodder’s webby filaments are actually parasites that suck nutrients from the pickleweed. In accordance with the
astrological omens, Aquarius, I’ll ask you if a situation like that exists in your
own life. Is there a pretty picture that hides an imbalance in the give-andtake of energy? It’s not necessarily a bad thing -- after all, the pickleweed
grows abundantly even with its freeloader hanging all over it -- but it’s important to be conscious of what’s going on.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “That in a person which cannot be domesticated is not his evil but his goodness,”said the writer Antonio Porchia. I invite
you to keep that challenging thought close to your heart in the coming days,
Pisces. In my astrological opinion, it is an excellent moment to tune in to your
wildest goodness -- to describe it to yourself, to cherish it as the great treasure
it is, to foster it and celebrate it and express it like a spring river overflowing
its banks.

Kioea
Showing Off
Proposed For
International A
Protection
By Kalei “Pumpkin” Moss
s the winter break approached, the
21st Century grant programs began to wrap up to prepare for the
end of the semester. Some of the students
were able to show their families and friends
what they had been learning the past few
months.
Students who had attended Kaunakakai Elementary School’s 21st Century grant
programs held a showcase to perform
and display the hard work that they have
done this past semester. The cafeteria at
Kaunakakai Elementary School was filled
with friends and families as students from
grade school age to adults entertained the
crowd with music and dancing. Samples
of students’ artwork hung around the cafeteria, as well as presentation boards from
the Computer Aided Design class and the
robotics teams.
During the 21st Century Showcase,
many of the musical groups, such as the
School of Rock groups, the violin class,
and the woodwind and brass classes, performed for the audience, wowing them
with their talents and skills. The Molokai
Blizzard Boys, the boys’ FLL team based
out of Kaunakakai Elementary School, entertained the audience with magic tricks
as they presented the robotics project that
they created for the regional and state competitions. The beginning and advanced
students of the Tahitian dance classes performed a few numbers that made the audience want to get up and dance.
The Kilohana violin group performed
three numbers during the annual Kilohana
Elementary School Christmas program.
Led by their instructor Lauren Fischer, the
group of girls performed “Jingle Bells,”
“Good King Wenceslas,” and “Twinkle,
Twinkle, Little Star.”
21st Century grant programs are offered at all the public schools on Molokai
as well as Kualapu`u Elementary School.

ore than 80 governments met
from Nov. 20-25 in Bergen,
Norway, for the tenth Conference of the Parties to the United
Nations Environment Programme’s
Convention on the Conservation of
Migratory Species of Wild Animals
(CMS). Proposals to conserve seven
migratory species that cross international borders were approved, including the kioea (bristle-thighed curlew,
Numenius tahitiensis), the official bird
of Kaunanakai.
The kioea, which winters exclusively on Pacific atolls and islands, is
currently listed on CMS Appendix II
as a species that needs or would significantly benefit from international
cooperation. It was granted full protection by also being added on Appendix I as threatened with extinction
throughout all or a significant proportion of its range.
The introduction of mammalian
predators such as rats, cats and dogs
on the wintering grounds is attributed
to a sharp decline in the population.
Kioea are particularly threatened by
predators during the molting period,
when adults become incapable of
flight. Habitat loss and degradation
of the wintering grounds pose an additional threat. The appendices grant
greater protection to vulnerable species, such as conserving damaged
habitats or mitigating obstacles to migration.

Veteran’s Corner
Column by Jesse Church
A
loha my fellow veterans
and
people
of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the
veterans’ news and
upcoming events. If my wish was
granted, everybody had wonderful
holidays, with plenty of goodies to
each and lots of presents under the
tree.
As Molokai veterans enter
the new year, our federal law suit
against Maui County continues, and
attorney Eric A. Seitz, who joined
our team, tries to get a settlement.
Construction of our new veterans
center continues, with a completion
date of March or April. The Molokai
veterans cemetery is receiving two
new columbariums (a place for the
respectful storage of urns) with 128
niches. The Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans would like to establish a PX at the closed state National
Guard facility on Molokai, and General Wong of the state Department
of Defense has offered it for our use.
The new year of 2012 promises to
be an exciting one for the veterans
of Molokai. I sincerely hope that all
veterans of Molokai become part of
all the things the new has in store for
us.
Please keep in mind that we
can use all the help we can get for
the new veterans center. So if you
would like to volunteer, please call
the vets center and talk to the watch
commander. The vets center is open
Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9:30
a.m. to 1 p.m.

that are in harm’s way. For all they
do for us, we send them a big mahalo, and to our veterans at home for
all they have done for us, and to the
people of Molokai for all the support
they show our troops and veterans.
As our troops start coming home
from Iraq and Afghanistan, and you
see any of them or a veteran, please
say hello and thank you for your service, and you’ll see a big smile. To
all the people of Molokai, I want you
to know that you are truly the best,
and I salute you for all your support
and want you to know that you are
all dear to me, and I love you all. If
anyone would like to talk, please feel

From gathering

The positive feedback we've received
from those who attended was awesome.
Everyone had a great time that day and
we achieved our fundraising goal.

A
fter months of having no luck
finding someone on-island who
was able to tackle the specialized
project of the aluminum roof for our office
and with the rainy season upon us, we
found Fred Rehm, owner of Aluminum
Shake Roofing on Oahu. He researched
our project and said, “It’s doable.”
On Dec.12, Rehm and expert roofer
Kent Namocot arrived at Ali`i Fishpond
with tools and expertise to make it happen. We owe Fred, Kent, and Timmy
Leong huge mahalos for their patience
and perseverance with the complexities
of this roof. Each volunteered countless
hours and dedicated themselves to seeing this roof through to its completion on
Dec.19.
We also owe mahalo to Herbert and
Julia Hoe for providing `ono lunches, Bill
Castor, Kalani Puaoi, Shiloh Torres-Umi,
Mark Naone, Matt Tanielu, and Bozo and
Kevin Dudoit for their help up on the
roof, and Merv Dudoit, Malcolm Mackey,
and Keri Zacher for their “go for” help.
It is the combination of many who
kako`o our efforts at KHM so we can continue our mission.

Outpouring of Support
W

to extend our mahalo and aloha
to the people and community of the island

us as your own daughters during one of
the most difficult periods in our lives. The
outpouring of love and support strengthened us.
Thank you to Lori and Moku Buchanan for the funeral arrangements and for
the tree trimming services. Special thanks
go out to Nana Priscilla Fabro, Manong

the nanas and tatas who provided equipment and refreshments after each of the
prayer services and for all who attended
the prayer services. Also thank you to our
uncles, aunties and cousins from Hilo for
assisting us during the funeral.
For all the people who came to Mom’s
funeral, thank you for supporting us. It is
the community of Molokai who Mom appreciated and endeared. For Mom and for
her daughters, there is no place like Molokai. There is no better place to call home.

By Todd Yamashita – Molokai Dispatch Publisher
C
hange is rarely easy,
especially
when
it involves what
we’ve grown accustomed
to over the course of many
years. We know it’s been
tough finding an issue
of The Molokai Dispatch
around the island since we’ve stopped
bulk mailing to mailboxes, and we’re
working to make it easier this month.
Our goal is to provide you with a
number of locations that consistently
have issues of the Dispatch on-hand.
Starting this week, we’re increasing the
number of papers printed. We will continue to deliver to our locations twice a
week, instead of just once. And we are
also designing easy-to-see drop boxes to
keep papers orderly and hope to have
them in several locations within a couple
weeks.
We could use your help, too. Do you
drive out to either the Kaluakoi area or
to Mana`e on a daily basis? We’re willing
to barter subscriptions or advertising to
someone willing drop papers to these locations once a week. Call us at 552-2781
if you think you’d like to help.
Finally, for our local readers who
still want to get the Dispatch in your
mailbox, I’d like to offer you the ultimate
convenience: for just $44 per year, you
can continue to receive the paper in your
mailbox every week. That’s just above
our cost and a great savings compared to
the $70 our off-island readers pay. Look
for the subscription ad in this issue, or
visit us in person Wednesday through
Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and we’ll get
you started.
Mahalo to each of you who have
given feedback and support over the
past several weeks. And mahalo to our
