Barking Sands
celebrates
Naval aviation
turns 100
Article and photos by Anne E. O’Malley
except as noted
Tough to believe the U.S. Navy has been involved with aircraft for 100 years. Nothing
of that vintage was parked on the grounds
of Barking Sands Pacific Missile Range Facility during its recent display as part of the
USN’s centennial year of naval aviation.
Nonetheless, over 3,200 persons visited the
navy base’s Welcome Aboard event honoring the occasion and those leaving after
taking their fill were impressed with what
they saw. From tots on bots—keiki manipulating robot controllers—to 28 displays
inside a hangar, to 18 navy aircraft at ease
on the ground outside, there was plenty
to draw the eye and ample servicemen
and women to demystify the tech stuff.
Meanwhile, the Navy’s Pacific fleet Band
had the clear Kekaha sky for its sounds to
soar through, not to mention amplification around the island via Rooster Country
99.9FM broadcasting live.
Kapaà resident Arthur Budd, a 90 year old WWII naval combat pilot who
earned many medals for his service in the Pacific theater, travelled across
the island to join in the PMRF Centennial of Naval Aviation festivities.

Na Pali—Out of Clay 25th anniversary
by Anne E. O’Malley
The next time you pass
through the Richard
A. Kawakami terminal at Lihu‘e Airport,
pause to look at the
ceramic mural Na Pali
on the back wall of
the lobby. Once, that
artistic rendering had
a humbler life—as 15
tons of clay in a riverbed in China.
Kaua‘i native son,
artist David Kuraoka,
designed the mural in
1984, then took it to
a clay factory in Korea where he sculpted,
glazed and fired it for
its installation here in
1986. At the time, he
was the head of the
Ceramics department
at San Francisco State
University. A year
later, he’d be designated a Hawai‘i Living
Treasure by the Honpa
Hongwanji Mission of
Hawai‘i.
But at the time
of the project—the
Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and
the Arts had been
talking to him for
five years about doing
something—he says, “I
had never worked with
such a scale. When
you’re young and
cocky, it’s no big deal,
but when it comes
down to it, it’s gonna
be up there—10 feet
high by 50 feet wide.”
How did Na Pali
come to be a ceramic
piece? Certainly his
mother inspired him
throughout his life.
Emiko Kuraoka of
Lihu‘e, a retired teacher, is his numbah one
fan.
And
there
was
more—a lifelong pull
to Na Pali itself. Says
Kuraoka, “I used to go
to Kalalau all summer,
for 30 years; I looked at
all the rocks.
“They’re just too
much—the
visuals
are beyond holding it

Grow Edibles
The uncle of a friend
would grow nothing
on his property unless
it was at least a two-fer.
It could be attractive,
but it also had to be
edible. It could form a
fence or boundary, but
it also had to be edible.
It could provide shade,
but it also had to be edible.
In an age when we’re
worried about food security, food safety and
food cost, my friend’s
uncle seemed to have
found a clue.
If you’re concerned
about what you consume, why grow anything at home that
can’t do double duty as

a food plant?
Check out the library
or your computer,
where you can Google,
Bing, Yahoo or Ask
about edible plants, edible landscapes, edible
blossoms and so forth.
Or simply comb the
neighborhood. Many
neighbors in the Islands have interesting
edibles, and most folks
are willing to share
with someone who expresses an interest.
It’s important to remember that there are
also lots of plants that
contain toxins. And

Taro farmer Adam Asquith: Advocate for local water rights
Article by Joan Conrow
Photos by
Anne E. O’Malley
Ten years ago, Adam
Asquith decided he
wasn’t going to get
involved in any more
“anti” campaigns.
Instead, the fresh
water advocate vowed
to devote his energy
solely to initiatives already moving in what
he considers “the right
direction”—including
hydroelectric power.
“When you fight
something, it’s a constant struggle, it’s not
fulfilling,” Asquith explains.
In the decade since
his epiphany, Asquith
has found “tremendous
satisfaction”
growing taro at Kealia
and Wailua, and assisting Waipa, Stacy
Sproat’s
culturallybased farming and
ecosystem restoration
project in Hanalei.
“It’s so heart-warming to work with people who value the soil
and water,” he says.
Toiling in the taro
lo‘i also has caused
Asquith to move away
from the “hands off”
attitude about nature
that developed during
his years of researching damselflies, working as a refuge biologist for the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service
and being active in environmental issues.
“My
relationship
with water evolved
from that academic
and uniquely Western
concept of protectionist: protect critters
and keep water in the
stream,” he says. “And
being a taro farmer,
of course you’ve got
to take water out of
the stream. I’ve come
to see that the human
world is part of the
natural world. Without people interacting
in the environment,
it’s so easy to break
that connection with
nature and so hard to
reconnect.”
Asquith, who has
two hanai (adopted)
children, says that
growing taro, from
which
Hawaiians
believe the first human descended, also
prompted “a big spiritual shift for me. My
taro farm is part of my
hanai family. To get
huli (taro starts), I had
to develop relationships with farmers to
have enough trust in
me that I’ll take care
of something they
produced, something
that’s an extension of
their family. It’s a big
responsibility for me,
and I’ll do whatever it
takes to make sure my
family survives.”
Asquith
grew
alarmed when he
learned that the Kaua‘i
Island Utility Cooperative had signed a contract with Free Flow
Power to study the viability of hydroelectric
power on six streams
and ditch systems—all
key to farming—under a process governed
by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC).
Asquith
believes
farmers will end up
with less water if the
process moves forward. “If water’s gonna
be shut off to my farm
and my children will
die, there’s no question
what I will do to protect them.”
What he did was to
launch a petition drive
that requires KIUC to
hold a general membership meeting on
the issue prior to June
9, as well as allow coop
members to vote on
the Free Flow agreement.
In the process, Asquith found himself
embroiled in one of the
“anti” campaigns he’d
pledged to avoid. But
he sees it as ultimately
supporting two positive initiatives: continued local control of
water resources and
the development of hydroelectric power.
Asquith is concerned that the FERC
process will generate
intense cultural and
environmental opposition, resulting in expensive, lengthy litigation that will work to
greatly delay or even
totally derail hydro as
a viable renewable ensee Asquith page 11

And plants that are
fine for some folks but
cause allergic reactions
in others. Peanuts are
one example. Mangos
are another.
There is no shortage
of plant species that
have multiple benefits.
Like the edible hibiscus whose wide, glossy
leaves are a visual treat,
but which also can be
tossed into a green salad. The petals of colorful common hibiscus
blossoms can be added
as a flashy garnish to
green salads.
Brightly colored nasturtium blossoms have
a peppery flavor, and
nasturtium seed pods
can be pickled to make
a home-grown substitute for capers. You
can eat rose petals, too.
Need a landscape
tree? Make it an avocado or orange, a white
guava or a Samoan coconut, a dwarf mango
or a lychee.
Need a bush or a
hedge plant? How
about strawberry guava or Surinam cherry,
both of which have attractive glossy leaves?
Sweet potatoes will
cover a patch of ground
with dense foliage. Got
a fence? How about
training a passion fruit
vine, or even Isabella
grapes on it?

There’s
nothing
like the satisfaction
of whipping up a
smoothie made entirely from the fruit of
your own yard: your
own bananas, papayas,
oranges, and, depending on the time of year,
some starfruit, jabong,
or other fruits.
Or baking up toasted coconut chips from
a tree that shades the
driveway. Or making
a salad of breadfruit
chunks — tastes like
artichoke hearts.

Adam Asquith disagrees, noting the state vigorously opposed a previous
attempt to develop hydro on the Wailua River under the FERC process
because it supercedes Hawai‘i’s unique water laws and gives developers
the power of eminent domain.
Bissell says that if KIUC didn’t stake its claim to study the feasibility of
hydro on Kaua‘i, “a for-profit developer could get in place before us.” And
that likely would mean higher electric costs for rate payers.
The utility chose to contract with Free Flow Power to help it through the
FERC process because the company has “high caliber professionals” on
staff to do many of the required studies, and KIUC does not.
The fate of the contract with Free Flow ultimately will be decided by a
vote of KIUC members. If they turn it down and reject FERC, Bissell says
that could mean an end to the utility’s foray into hydro.
“I would not recommend we go forward investing possibly millions of
dollars without the FERC process because someone could jump in front of
us,” he says.
For more information, visit www.ferc.gov, www.free-flow-power.com and
www.kiuc.coop.

“I think KIUC did
not do their homework on this one,” he
says. “This could leave
a bad taste in people’s
mouths about hydro

was to promote hydro.”
He’d rather see
hydro
development
tied into projects that
deliver irrigation water to farmers, which
in turn would promote
sustainability and help
the island become
more self-sufficient in
food production.

“You can live your

you with no time for

really, they’re not important, and they’re

from page 4
in your head, beyond
what I remember. It’s
not like drawing this
rock or this piece, it’s
definitely
spiritual,
breathtaking, beyond
inspiration.”
Which is how it happened, for the sake
of art, that Kuraoka
found himself making
about six, 10-day to
two-week trips to Korea over a year’s time
to work on Na Pali
the mural. He asked
Kaua‘i friends Shigeru
Miyamoto and Gaylord Fukumoto to travel with him, and friend
Melani Nagao also accompanied the group
once to photograph
and video the fabrication.
Twenty Korean factory workers pummeled and wedged the
clay to push the air
out of it. Kuraoka laid
a billboard-size paper design on the clay
and poked through the
paper, drew lines and
built up the relief.
When finished, the
mural was a solid piece
that Kuraoka then cut
into 650 parts, hollowed out in the back
and labeled for easier
re-assembly once it arrived on Kaua‘i.
The 25th anniversary of the installation
of Na Pali prompted
the designer of the
airport
concourse
window displays, Carol K. Yotsuda, a retired art teacher who
has known Kuraoka
since his Kaua‘i High
School days, to design
an exhibit on the mural. Photos from the
mural-making process
and more are on display on the Hawaiian
Airlines side of the
concourse.
In addition, Yotsuda has organized
a semi-retrospective
of Kuraoka’s work in
the foreground of the
HAL window and has
carried it over into the
United Airlines side of
the airport. Both windows carry their displays through July.

from page 12
her husband, Orlando,
took time out from
a six-day work week
to talk about how she
loves her job.
“My job is to serve
Kaua‘i, our community, and to share my life
and love with others,”
she says. “It’s not just
about food.
“When
people
come to Rainbow Living Foods, they find
a home and many
change their lives after
coming here. A lady
from London came
here and said it was the
first time she’d discovered this kind of food,
and she was here every
single day of her vacation.”
Netto, a vegan for
20 years—vegans neither eat nor use animal
products—says she’s
eaten only raw foods
for the last 10 years.
Why has she chosen
this path?
“I come from a family that is obese. There
are heart disease and
diabetes problems, and
I felt like I did not want
that to happen to me,”
she says.
“I’m not living just
to eat, but am eating to
live.”
She and friends who
began eating raw were
“having excellent results, both physical
and mental,” she adds.
Eating raw is no
privation; on the contrary, it’s delicious,
according to Netto. It
takes time, as in the
case of bread made
from sprouted seeds
and nuts that may be
in process for four
days, from soaking
to sprouting to dehydrating. Nothing is
prepared at more than
118 degrees so that enzymes and minerals
remain active.
If you want to start
with something divine, Netto suggests
trying the crème de la
crème dish, her tiramisu.
She adds, “People
love, love, love our tacos—and our rainbow
burger, a veggie patty.”
Netto also offers
Sunday
workshops
when five or more people request it, teaching
how to do some basic raw food preparations and recipes. She
accepts requests via
phone at 821-9759.
Rainbow Living Foods
does catering and once
even had a wedding in
the small restaurant
with over 30 people, all
arranged by telephone
with the party on the
mainland.
“I Iove to change
lives for people,” says
Netto. “Many people
come not just for food,
but they want to talk to
me.”
Come eat or talk
Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 7
p.m. or on Saturday
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

who has helped organize the Sports Physicals
feature of the event. “During a sports physical
at the Kids Summer Fest, a qualified pediatrician
will examine a child’s heart, lungs, and internal

like Dr. Sam Chen, will examine the muscles,
bones, and joints to ensure that the child can
safely participate in the sport of their choice. “

Healthy Kaua‘i is Our Priority
Managing Diabetes:
A Certified Diabetes Educator Can Help
M
anaging diabetes is a little
easier when you get some help
from health care professionals.
The comprehensive diabetes
management program at Kaua’i
Medical Clinic is part of the
Health Management Program
(HMP). Recently the program,
led by physician assistant, Don
Traller, received approval by the
American Academy of Diabetes
Educators as a certified program.
One of the “extra special”
services to patients is access to
a certified diabetes educator.
A certified diabetes educator is
a health care professional who
is specialized and certified to
teach people with diabetes or pre
diabetes how to manage their
condition. Diabetes educators
apply
in-depth
knowledge
and skills in the biological and
social sciences, communication,
counseling,
and
education
to
provide
self-management
education/self-management
training.
Don Traller, PA-C, CDE leads a team of
professionals at the Health Management
Program at Kaua‘i Medical Clinic, and
helping patients to effectively manage
their diabetes is a top priority.
Mary Roush, RN, CDE at Kaua’i
Medical Clinic’s Health Management
Program.
Mary Roush, a registered nurse
with Kaua’i Medical Clinic for the
past 25 years, was one of the first
health care professionals on Kaua’i
to receive her certification. “I work
with those patients who need to
learn the tools and skills necessary
to control their blood sugar and
avoid long-term complications
due to high blood sugar, and I can
spend as much time with a person
who has diabetes as is needed
both for educational purposes
and emotional support,” said
Mary. “We focus on seven key
behaviors that promote successful
self-management: Healthy eating,
being active, monitoring, taking
medication, problem solving,
healthy coping and reducing
risks.”
The Health Management Program
at Kaua’i Medical Clinic is expanding
to provide diabetes education
services at all their neighborhood
clinics on Kaua’i. Mary, along with
Don Traller PA-C, CDE, is currently
involved in mentoring two new
diabetes
educators,

Ahlgren, RN and Danielle Hill, RN,
MPH. For more information on
managing your diabetes, call the

Mahalo Surgical Staff,
“Recently I faced great

procedure.
Immediately upon arrival in

started alleviating my fears.
The anesthesiologist, Dr.

as he checked me out. I am
especially grateful to Dr.

was almost a piece of cake.
I want to thank the staff for

Island Activities
One with the poi
by Anne E. O’Malley
Poi, made from kalo, is a staple
of the Hawaiian diet. Roughly
two thirds of the kalo grown
for poi in Hawai‘i is grown here
on Kaua‘i, in the Hanalei Valley.
Each Thursday at Waipa—a
Hawaiian-managed land division, or ahupua‘a, of 1,600
acres in the valley—families
as a group purchase kalo from
local farmers. Many gather to
prepare it for milling poi that
goes to about 100 families
around the island that same
day.
Waipa offers a hands-on opportunity for “out-of-the-box”
visitor volunteers who seriously enjoy connecting with
host cultures. It’s definitely not
a swing-by photo op. Respect
is key here. Come to Waipa by
8 a.m. —about a half mile
beyond Hanalei School, on the
left —and don’t expect to
leave until noon, after partaking of a delicious farm grownand-raised spread. Wear old
clothes, get splashed and dirty,
and you’ll leave with a bag of
poi and a lifetime of memories.
“Come help and you’ll receive so much more,” says
Stacy Sproat-Beck, executive
director of the Waipa Foundation. Learn more about Waipa
at www.waipafoundation.org,
or call 826. 9969.
Here are some Na ‘Olelo—
Hawaiian words—for you to
use.

FIT: Food, Water,
& Exercise—Three
Simple Keys to Good
Health
by Jodee Burris
Jodee Burris. Photo by Wayne Burris
Have you ever thought
about what you’re eating? The 100 calorie
pack or lean frozen
dinner may sound
healthy, but oftentimes
those processed foods
are filled with chemicals, “food-like” substances, and preservatives, none of which
is really that good for
you.
You may read nutrition labels, but when
was the last time you
read an ingredient label? Try eating food
without
ingredient
lists—fresh fruit and
vegetables—or foods
with a short list of
identifiable ingredients. If you don’t know
what it is, you probably
shouldn’t put it into
your body.
Cutting out just one
12-ounce soda a day
could help you lose 15
pounds by the end of
Page 18
a year, not to mention
ridding your body of
artificial colors, flavors, high fructose
corn syrup—or worse,
aspartame—and empty calories. Thankfully,
you have a practically
free source of thirst
quenching goodness
flowing freely from
your tap.
For a healthy twist,
add a lime or lemon
to your water, or try
sparkling water for a
carbonated kick. Fill
a pitcher of water in
your refrigerator and
throw in some fruit—
pineapples are great,
or mint leaves—and let
the water infuse with
the flavors.
Getting into an exercise routine can
improve your health,
energize you, allow
quality sleep, and promote a more positive
attitude.

Captain Chris says, “Touring the Na Pali Coast truly is a once-in-a-lifetime
experience. We make sure that our passengers get to see it all including the
famous sites of Hanakoa Valley, Hanakapi‘ai Valley, the Pirates Sea Cave,
and the Double Door Cave. These are
some of the most significant attractions
Double Door Cave
on the Na Pali Coast and should not
be missed.”
The Na Pali Riders’ difference starts with attention to detail
in all aspects of our Na Pali Coast Raft Tour. We offer a ride
on our state-of-the-art 30-foot, 920 Zodiac raft.
