New Molokai
Ranch Leader
Since 1985

C
astle & Cooke’s Clay R. Rumbaoa
stepped in last week as executive
director of Molokai Properties Ltd.
(MPL), also known as Molokai Ranch,
MPL announced.
Peter Nicholas, who has served as
executive director since 2002, will retire
Dec. 31. Until that time, Rumbaoa and
Nicholas will share a “handover period
… to facilitate a smooth transition,” according to an announcement of cessation
made by Singapore-based investment
company GuocoLeisure Ltd., which owns
MPL.
Rumbaoa served as director of engineering and development for Lanai with
Castle & Cooke Resorts LLC since 2005,
according to a GuocoLeisure announcement of appointment. He retired from
that position last week.
Castle & Cooke, a major landowner
on Lanai, is seeking to develop at least
200 megawatts (MW) of the 400-MW "Big
Wind" project on that island, in which energy from wind turbines would be transmitted to Oahu via undersea cable.
Developer Pattern Energy has
sought to contribute 200 MW of that project by building turbines on Molokai, but
has met staunch resistance from residents.
Pattern and MPL have discussed using
11,000 acres of MPL for the project if it
moves forward, according to reports.
In July, the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) ordered the issuance of a
new request for proposals (RFPs) for the
potential Molokai portion of the project,
finding Castle & Cooke did not follow
due process in assigning it to Pattern.
The PUC is expected to approve Hawaiian Electric Company’s draft RFP, which
seeks bids for 200 MW of renewable energy from any type of project on any island
that could “reasonably” reach Oahu, by
March 31, 20102.
In a brief phone interview Friday,
Rumbaoa declined to comment on Molokai's role in Big Wind but said he would
be looking at the project in the coming
months.
"At this point I have no comment on
that, I still don’t have all the facts," he said.
He said MPL approached him about
the executive director position a few
months ago.
MPL's executive director position is
responsible for the “overall strategic and
operational management of the company’s Molokai investment,” according to
the announcements. MPL’s acreage encompasses about one-third of Molokai.
Nicholas will continue to oversee
MPL’s investments in Fiji. He did not respond to an email last week.
Ka Lama Hawaii newspapers from 1834 were digitized by Awaiaulu staff; volunteers will now work to transcribe 60,000 pages of
the historic material into searchable format. Newspaper images courtesy nupepa.org.
Old News, New Meaning
By Catherine Cluett
F
rom 1834 to 1948, over 125,000 pages of Hawaiian language newspaper were printed. However, those
pages are crumbling, and the knowledge
they contain would otherwise be lost if
not for the efforts of Awaiaulu, an organization dedicated to publishing Hawaiian
texts whose staff has been working for
the past 10 years to preserve and digitize
the newspaper pages.
Now, an Awaiaulu initiative called
`Ike Ku`oko`a – or Liberating Knowledge
– is gathering volunteers statewide to type
word for word thousands of Hawaiian articles into a searchable format.
“Not only is this the historical mate-
rial from a time when Hawaiians were the
nation, it was set up by consensus to be the
national repository of knowledge for the
future,” said Awaiaulu Executive Director
Puakea Nogelmeier, via email.
With excitement for the project growing, nearly 1,000 volunteers have already
signed up online to become part of the effort, said `Ike Ku`oko`a Outreach Coordinator Kau`i Sai-Dudoit. The goal is to have
3,000 volunteers working statewide.
The project will launch on Nov.
28 – the day of the Hawaiian holiday La
Ku`oko`a , or Independence Day. Organizers hope to complete the transcription of
about 60,000 pages within a year.
“It’s about reclaiming Hawai-
ian knowledge,” said Sai-Dudoit. “This
knowledge helps empower us today.”
The first Hawaiian language newspaper
was printed in 1834 by Lahainaluna students
on Maui as a school project, according to SaiDudoit. The idea soon took root in the community, and many Hawaiian newspapers were
printed around the state.
“Our kupuna felt it was that important that they spent their lives putting history, mele [and other recordings of culture]
into newspapers,” said Sai-Dudoit. “One
hundred fourteen years Hawaiians were
telling their stories in newspapers.”
Here on Molokai, Hawaiian language and culture remain alive, especially

NPS Investigates Sulfur Smells in Kalaupapa Crater

he smell of sulfur around the lake in
Kalaupapa National Historical Park’s
(KNHP’s) Kauhako crater has worried some of the settlement’s residents, but
National Park Service (NPS) scientists say
the peninsula is not in danger.
Recent studies suggest the crater’s
lake may have undergone an “overturning” event, in which hydrogen sulfide
(H2S) gas locked in the water’s deepest layers was released, according to NPS Biological Science Technician Kim Tice. This could
have been caused by a small landslide or a
thinning of the lake’s top layer because of
drought conditions, she said.
This Week’s
Visitors to the crater noticed the smell
as early as Sept. 28, Tice said during a presentation at Kalaupapa’s community meeting last week.
Heavier than oxygen, H2S should sit
at the bottom of the crater, Tice said. If any
were to escape above the crater, it would be
quickly blown away by trade winds.
“None of the safety experts I’ve talked
to say the community is at any risk,” Tice
said. “This event doesn’t suggest anything
about volcanic activity.”
Still, several residents said before and
during the presentation that the reports of
sulfur smell are of concern.

“You cannot tell the people, ‘don’t get
upset about this,’ because some people, it
bothers them,” said patient-resident Gloria
Marks.
NPS has closed the trail into the crater
and will continue talking to national experts and monitoring the lake in the coming months. NPS Terrestrial Ecologist Paul
Hosten has been in touch with representatives from the U.S. Geological Survey about
a potential visit, he said, and NPS plans to
invest in H2S-measuring equipment in the
coming weeks.
Kauhako crater and Kalaupapa peninsula were formed about 230,000 years ago by
the volcano Pu`u `Uao, according to Tice’s
report. The lake, formed at the center of the
420-foot tall crater, is the fourth deepest in
the United States at about 830 feet, she said.

The lake’s top layer, made of a mixture
of fresh and salt water containing oxygen,
generally maintains a depth of about 10
feet, according to scientists. The underlying
layer is marine water that is anaerobic, or
without oxygen, and produces H2S.
Although the lake was once believed
to have been connected to the Pacific
Ocean, tides and other evidence suggest
there is currently no open connection to the
sea, according to Tice.
Tice and residents agreed there is no
record or memory of a similar sulfur smell.
Some questioned the spiritual implications
of the unusual event.
“I think that our life is at stake … to
think this is the first time this has happened
at Kalaupapa,” Marks said. “I think this is a
sign … and we should be prepared.”

hree performers at Kalaniana`ole
Hall last week had their ample audience laughing, clapping, singing and at times, sitting in awed silence.
Sharing their love of poetry, the spoken
word and movement, the California-based
group called the Living Word Project was
led by national slam poetry champion and
internationally-acclaimed performer Marc
Bamuthi Joseph. He was joined by fellow
poets Daveed Diggs and Michael Turner,
and they visited Molokai as part of a state-
wide tour, sponsored by the Maui Arts and
Cultural Center.
“[I’ve] been so moved spending a little
time on this island,” Bamuthi Joseph said
of Molokai. He performed part of his play
“Word Becomes Flesh,” “a creation myth”
about his son’s birth and his rocky relationship with his father, accompanied by dance.
The energetic presentation included the audience singing “Peace like a River” in sections.

A Farewell Thanksgiving Rodeo
Molokai Junior Roping Club News Release
T
hirty-five years ago, Patrick
Kawano Sr., Vandale “Puggy”
Dudoit and Clifford Dudoit,
along with their families, formed the
Molokai Jr. Roping Club in an effort to
preserve the paniolo heritage and offer
the children of Molokai positive opportunities through the sport of rodeo. In
a few short years the club became more
than just a playground for children,
but rather a venue for families to play,
laugh and work together. By the mid1980s, the Molokai Jr. Roping Club had
secured a lease with Molokai Ranch,
with the help of then Molokai Properties Ltd. (MPL) Manager Aka Hodgins,
for a portion of property that would
later host hundreds of rodeo events,
roping clinics, horse training, 4-H partnerships and statewide rodeo competitions. Mr. Hodgins understood the
need to secure a place for the Hawaiian
paniolo and was committed to keep that
legacy alive. Three generations of Hawaiian paniolo have worked and rode
in Kaunakakai Arena, learning skills
and life lessons that are unique to those,
lucky enough, to be paniolo.
Throughout the years club members
have reached the highest ranks of county
and state rodeo competition and in 1995,
two Molokai cowboys and members of
the Jr. Roping Club, Hano Naehu and
Braddah Kaiama, team roped their way
to National High School Rodeo Competi-
tion history by setting one of the fastest
times ever in a World High School Championship Rodeo.
December will end the lease between
the Molokai Jr. Roping Club and Molokai
Ranch. Efforts have been made to renew
and renegotiate an extension to the lease;
the Ranch has decided not to. Though
it is sad to see such an important part of
our history come to an end, the Molokai
Jr. Roping Club is thankful to Molokai
Ranch and the Molokai community for
all the support and aloha shown throughout the past 35 years. In celebration, the
Molokai Jr. Roping Club is having a “farewell thanksgiving rodeo” Nov. 25 and 26
at the Kaunakakai Arena. Friday will feature our keiki, ages 18 years and younger
in an all out rodeo event. There will be
no entry fee for participants. On Saturday, the fun continues as the adults hit
the arena with team roping, double mugging, wahine events, poo wai u and even
roping for the makule. A small stock and
office fee will be assessed to participants.
Following Saturday’s event, the community is invited to a free, BBQ and awards
Pa`ina. The event is free to the public, so
dust off your cowboy boots, put on that
ol’ hat and join us for a celebration that
marks the end of an era. For more information, to make a donation or to get
involved contact us: Clifford Dudoit at

among students at the Hawaiian language
immersion programs. Since the immersion program began in 1992, according to
Kumu Manuwai Peters, it “has utilized
the vast body of knowledge contained in
the Hawaiian language newspapers of
the 19th and early 20th centuries. In those
pioneer years of immersion, there were no
online databases to access the profound
knowledge contained within those… Hawaiian language newspaper pages.”
By greatly increasing the searchable
text of the newspapers, Peters said the `Ike
Ku`oko`a initiative will make the information contained in them more accessible to
students of all grade levels.
“At Molokai High School’s Hawaiian
language immersion program, we are encouraging our students to be a part of the
process by volunteering to help with the
typescripting of the… newspaper,” he said.
Phase two of the project in years to
come will include the translation of the
documents to English, said Sai-Dudoit.
But for now, you don’t have to be a native
speaker to get involved.
“Ninety-five percent of our people
don’t speak the language,” said Sai-Dudoit. This project, however, allows them
to be a part of their heritage and “leave
their names on a legacy” even if they don’t
speak Hawaiian. “This is something that
will bring us all together.”
The process is simple, according to organizers. The project is contained on the web, at
awaiaulu.org. Visit the website and click on `Ike
Ku`oko`a for more information.
“…Log on, get a digital image, get a
blank text file, and type what [you] see,”
explained Nogelmeier. “When [you] log
on [you] learn how to match the style of
what’s been done already. [Do one] page,
submit it, and get another.”
After they are submitted by volunteers, pages will be reviewed and processed by staff members.
“It’s really exciting,” Sai-Dudoit said
of the project.

“The community was gypped out of
the chance to weigh in,” Chair Mikiala Pescaia said Oct. 26.
Several community members testified
to that effect during that meeting, with one
saying KS and tenants have been “passing
the buck from one to another.”
“It was a beautiful place but because
of all the driving back and forth … it was
just changing the area, how that island got
beaten up and how we lost a lot of land
there,” the testifier said.
“We are all held by law to approach
this as if it were a brand new application,”
Sprinzel added Nov. 9. If MoPC did not
concur with the request for SMA minor
permits or exemptions, the project could
require an SMA major permit that brings
with it more months of hearings and approvals.
MoPC approved a series of SMA permits and exemptions with conditions at the
Nov. 9 meeting which allowed KS to move
forward and seek additional permits, required by the DPW for the ATF construction.
Fronda said KS expects to finish the ATF
permitting process within about 12 months.
“Former lessee is responsible for correcting the permitting violations in paying for all related administrative fines,” he
said. At the Oct. 12 meeting, he said those
fines were in “seven figures.”
“KS will work with the former lessee
to insure that these violations and fines are
address in a timely fashion,” Kalani added.
More Frustrations
Other MoPC frustrations stemmed
from the Sept. 28 meeting, when commissioners deferred a decision on a SMA exemption pending more information on a
residential property.
At their next meeting, Oct. 12, commissioners learned that part of the improvements being proposed – a retaining
wall surrounding part of the property – had
already been built, and therefore should
have originally come in as an ATF permit.
Identifying who made the decision to
omit the ATF details was beside the point,
several commissioners said, stressing that
if improvements have already been made,
they cannot be submitted as if they were
yet to be built.
After driving by the property and
seeing the wall, “I felt deceived,” Commissioner Janice Kalanihuia said Oct. 12. “It
was not good.”
At the request of Commissioner Nat
Bacon, the applicant withdrew his application and may resubmit it as ATF.
At the end of the KS application review Nov. 9, Chair Pescaia thanked the
Schools for working through the meticulous process with MoPC and expressed
hopes of avoiding such an ordeal in the
future.
“What we’re trying to do is reflect
this on the record,” she said, “so the next
person comes along don’t make the same
mistakes.”

Moonbots
By Kalei “Pumpkin” Moss
T
his past summer while
many teenagers were soaking in the sun, four Molokai
High School students were planning and competing in a worldwide competition – Moonbots.
Moonbots is a robotic competition sponsored by Google that
hopes to get people interested in
moon travel. Alex Gilliland, Michael and Luke Kikukawa, James
Duffy and Coach Jenn Whitted
worked together as the Molokai
Mahina 2.0 Moonbots team to
build and program their LEGO
Mindstorm robot. The robots
are built from a kit to be autonomous, meaning humans do not
help it complete a particular task;
the robot completes a task by following its computer programming. The students design and
program the robots themselves.
The robot must be able to do
challenges or tasks that it would
have to do as if it were on the
moon, for example grab a loop
which would represent water ice
that is present on the moon.
In the first stage of the competition the team had to research
one of four S.T.E.M. related questions in the form of a video essay,
as well as present an overview of
their robot. Out of all the teams
in the world, only 20 are chosen
to advance to Phase 2 of the competition. The Molokai Mahina

2.0 Moonbots team was one of
those 20 teams and the only team
ever chosen from Hawaii. In the
second stage, teams had to then
build their robot and compete
via video chat for a judge that
was located in England. Though
the team from Molokai did not
win the overall competition they
were very proud to have placed
in the top 20 in the world. For
being in the top 20, each member
received a T-shirt and the team
won a LEGO Mindstorm robot
kit.
The team was part of an advanced robotics class sponsored
by the 21st Century Grant. The
21st Century Grant also sponsors beginner, intermediate and
competitive First LEGO League
(FLL) classes during the school
year at Kaunakakai Elementary
School, Kualapu`u Elementary
School and the Molokai Middle
School. If you would like your
child to attend a FLL class or if
you would like more information, contact Joshua Adachi at
553-1730 for Kaunakakai and
Kualapu`u classes or Lyn Bonk
at Molokai Middle School at 5676940. Should you have difficulty
getting in touch with Mr. Adachi or Mrs. Bonk, please contact
Sandra Czajkowski at 658-0609.
Maybe one day your children
can be navigating the moon!

Most people today believe that one should never criticize other religions. They say, “live and let
live.” The problem with this philosophy is that if some religion is teaching the wrong way to be saved, they
are leading people into hell. And that is exactly what is happening! God commands Christians to be spiritual
soldiers. We are commanded to fight for men’s souls. How does a Christian soldier fight? He must warn
people! John the Baptist fought as a Christian soldier when he denounced false religious leaders as, “Vipers”
in Matt 3:7. Stephen fought as a Christian soldier when he said to the false religious leaders in Acts 7:51: “Ye
stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so
do ye.” Throughout his ministry Paul was a Christian soldier and denounced false religions at every opportunity. Jesus spoke out against false religions and false prophets more than all the rest. Here are just some of the
things he said in Matt 23: “Ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; ye compass sea and land to make
one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves; ye are like
unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones; Ye
serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of Hell?”
Who are the false religions and leaders here on Molokai? Throughout the history of mankind it
has always been the same. The religious organizations with the most members have always been the ones that
have taught, not only the wrong way to be saved, but doctrines that are contrary to the Bible. The more they
contradict the Bible, the more members they will have.
Now, Jesus and his disciples did not reprimand the followers of the false religious leaders, though
they were wrong for following them. He reprimanded the leaders in order to warn their followers. Most of the
participants of these false religions are good people who are sincerely seeking to please God. This is the sad
part of the problem!
If you are a Christian reading this article, I invite you to join with me as a fellow Christian soldier
and help me to take men and women from what the Bible calls “broad way,” which leads to hell and help them
to find the “narrow way,” which can only be found in God’s grace through faith in the shed blood of Jesus
Christ. Do not leave me to fight this battle alone!

Astrology
Word of the Week
By Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Basic research is what I am doing when I
don’t know what I am doing,” said rocket scientist Werner von Braun. I think
it’s an excellent time for you to plunge into that kind of basic research, Aries.
You’re overdue to wander around frontiers you didn’t even realize you needed
to investigate. You’re ready to soak up insights from outside the boundaries of
your understanding. In fact, I think it’s your sacred duty to expose yourself to
raw truths and unexpected vistas that have been beyond your imagination’s
power to envision.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In Woody Allen’s film Midnight in Paris, the
Ernest Hemingway character says, “All cowardice comes from not loving, or
not loving well enough.” Given the state of your current astrological omens,
Taurus, that is an excellent piece of advice. I suspect you are going to be asked
to call on previously untapped reserves of courage in the coming weeks -not because you’ll have to face physical danger but rather because you will
have a chance to get to the bottom of mysteries that can only be explored if
you have more courage than you’ve had up until now. And the single best
way to summon the valor you’ll need is to love like a god or goddess loves.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “When I see your face, the stones start spinning!” wrote the poet Rumi, as translated by Coleman Barks. “Water turns
pearly. Fire dies down and doesn’t destroy. In your presence I don’t want what
I thought I wanted.” I think you need to be in the presence of a face like that,
Gemini. You’ve got to get your fixations scrambled by an arresting vision of
soulful authenticity. You need your colors transposed and your fire and water
reconfigured. Most of all, it’s crucial that you get nudged into transforming
your ideas about what you really want. So go find that healingly disruptive
prod, please. It’s not necessarily the face of a gorgeous icon. It could be the
face of a whisperer in the darkness or of a humble hero who’s skilled in the art
of surrender. Do you know where to look?
By Kamikilani Horner
hawaiian: Hemahema
• DEFINITION: pepe`ekue
• TRANSLATION: clumsy
• EXAMPLE: Hemahema au i kekahi Manawa no ka mea e ha`ule mau au.
• TRANSLATION:I am clumsy most of the time because I seem to always fall.
English: brackish
• DEFINITION: somewhat salty; in water, usually a mix of fresh and marine
• EXAMPLE: The top layer of water in Kalaupapa’s Kauhako crater is brackish.
Pidgin: Laydahs
• DEFINITION: Later; see you later
• EXAMPLE: Kay den, laydahs, uh Juniah?
• TRANSLATION: Alright, I’m headed out, see you later, Junior!
CANCER (June 21-July 22): “All my life I have longed to be loved by a
woman who was melancholy, thin, and an actress,” wrote 19th-century
French author Stendhal in his diary. “Now I have been, and I am not happy.” I
myself had a similar experience -- craving a particular type of women who,
when she finally showed up in the flesh, disappointed me. But it turned out
to be a liberating experience. Relieved of my delusory fantasy, I was able to
draw more joy from what life was actually giving me. As you contemplate
your own loss, Cancerian, I hope you will find the release and deliverance
I did.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you traveled 300 million years back in time, you
might freak out in abject fear as you encountered dragonflies as big as eagles
and cockroaches the size of dogs. But since you’re quite safe from those monsters here in the present, there’s no need to worry yourself sick about them.
Similarly, if you managed to locate a time machine and return to an earlier
phase of your current life, you’d come upon certain events that upset you and
derailed you way back then. And yet the odds are very high that you’re not
going to find a time machine. So maybe you could agree to relinquish all the
anxiety you’re still carrying from those experiences that can no longer upset
and derail you. Now would be an excellent moment to do so.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): To prepare for her role in the film The Help,
actress Jessica Chastain forced herself to gain 15 pounds. It was tough, because she normally follows a very healthy diet. The strategy that worked
best was to ingest a lot of calorie-heavy, estrogen-rich ice cream made from
soybeans. To be in alignment with current cosmic rhythms, it would make
sense for you to fatten yourself up, too, Virgo -- metaphorically speaking, that
is. I think you’d benefit from having more ballast, more gravitas. You need to
be sure you’re well-anchored and not easy to push around. It’s nearly time to
take an unshakable stand for what you care about most.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In a famous Monty Python sketch, a Hungarian tourist goes into a British tobacconist’s store to buy cigarettes. Since he
doesn’t speak English, he consults a phrase book to find the right words. “My
hovercraft is full of eels,”he tells the clerk, who’s not sure what he means. The
tourist tries again: “Do you want to come back to my place, bouncy bouncy?”
Again, the clerk is confused. In the coming week, Libra, I foresee you having
to deal with communications that are equally askew. Be patient, please. Try
your best to figure out the intentions and meanings behind the odd messages you’re presented with. Your translating skills are at a peak, fortunately,
as are your abilities to understand what other people -- even fuzzy thinkers
-- are saying.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There are modern Chinese painters who
use oil paints on canvas to create near-perfect replicas of famous European
masterpieces. So while the genuine copy of Van Gogh’s“Starry Night”is worth
over $100 million, you can buy an excellent copy on the Internet for less than
$100. If you’re faced with a comparable choice in the coming week -- whether to go with a pricey original or a cheaper but good facsimile, I suggest you
take the latter. For your current purposes, you just need what works, not what
gives you prestige or bragging rights.
TRY LOOK!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “It is a tremendous act of violence to
begin anything,”said Sagittarian poet Rainer Maria Rilke.“I am not able to begin. I simply skip what should be the beginning.”I urge you to consider trying
that approach yourself, Sagittarius. Instead of worrying about how to launch
your rebirth, maybe you should just dive into the middle of the new life you
want for yourself. Avoid stewing interminably in the frustrating mysteries of
the primal chaos so you can leap into the fun in full swing.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The Golden Gate Bridge spans the place
where San Francisco Bay meets the Pacific Ocean. It wasn’t easy to build. The
water below is deep, wind-swept, beset with swirling currents, and on occasion shrouded with blinding fog. Recognizing its magnificence, the American
Society of Civil Engineers calls the bridge one of the modern Wonders of the
World. Strange to think, then, that the bridge was constructed between 1933
and 1937, during the height of the Great Depression. I suggest you make it
your symbol of power for the coming weeks, Capricorn. Formulate a plan to
begin working toward a triumph in the least successful part of your life.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s an excellent time for you to get an
entourage -- or if you already have one, to expand it. For that matter, it’s a
perfect moment for you to recruit more soldiers to help you carry out your
plot to overthrow the status quo. Or to round up more allies for your plans
to change the course of local history. Or to gather more accomplices as you
seek to boldly go where you have never gone before. So beef up your support
system. Boost the likelihood that your conspiracy will succeed.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you expand your concept of what you’re
capable of, you will receive a specific offer to move up a notch. If you perform
your duties with intensified care and grace, you will be given new responsibilities that catalyze your sleeping potential. The universe doesn’t always act
with so much karmic precision, with such sleek, efficient fairness, but that’s
how it’s working in your vicinity right now. Here’s one more example of how
reasonable the fates are behaving: If you resolve to compete against no one
but yourself, you will be shown new secrets about how to express your idiosyncratic genius.

What’s Up Maunaloa
By Aunty Kehau
L
et there be light!
Yep, Maunaloa got
our
40-something
street lights back on due
to the quick response of
Maui Electric Power Plant Operator
Kathy Sears. She got this information
to her supervisor and bingo, let there
be lights in Maunaloa. Thanks a million Kathy! On Nov. 12 the Maunaloa
West Neighborhood Crime Watch
had their Opala Beach cleanup day.
Only a few came but it was a blessed
morning. Mahalo to Byron Espaniola
for taking our trash and to Darryl
Aea for the trash bags. Bless Molokai
was the theme at the monthly church
rally hosted by Pastor Rick Baptiste of
Holyhua Eagle's Ministries on Nov. 11
(11-11-11). It was a time of blessing for
the many pastors present and to bless
Molokai. How awesome is our God
when we can come with a repented
heart before each other, hallelujah!
This is the year that we will speak
blessings upon Molokai, the school,
businesses, families and a huge financial harvest and revival on our island!
I'd like to thank Frank and
Cathy Parrino for a great backyard
ho`olaulea on Nov. 13 at their hale.
Great hula dancers right on the lawn,
the singing duet of Tania and Lyndon
and some ono kine grindz! I met a
lot of new friends and neighbors and
would also like to send a big aloha to
Cheryl and Clark, friends of the Parrinos who were so gracious to me at
this gathering. Again mahalo nui loa
for a fun time, let's do it again?
This is your roving reporter closing with a special blessing for every
eye who have read this article. I speak
blessings upon every one this day,
lord meet their needs in the name of
Jesus. I also declare that our island
will be set free from all substance
abuse upon our families and that restoration and revival will now begin in
2012 on the island of Molokai.
Next Maunaloa West Neighborhood Crime Watch meeting will be
on Nov. 29 at 5 p.m. at the Maunaloa
Post Office. Bring a comfortable chair!
From the Pule Ohana to your ohana,
Happy Thanksgiving!

Veteran’s Corner
Column by Jesse Church
H
ello my beloved veterans
and people of
Molokai, old Jesse here
with all the veterans’
news and upcoming
events. Each year, soldiers receive medals
from the Order of St. Barbara, an honor
society for Army and Marine Corps artillerymen. So who is St. Barbara and why
the awards? Barbara has been the patron
saint of artillerymen, combat engineers,
miners and other people who use explosives since the early days of cannons.
Legend says her father killed her for converting to Christianity during the third
or fourth century. The father was later
struck dead by lightning, and Barbara
became known as a “defender of those
in danger from explosions, fire and thunderstorms,” according to Army documents. The awards symbolize membership into one of St. Barbara’s two orders.
The Honorable Order recognizes lieutenant colonels and higher ranks for demonstrated integrity, moral character and
competence. The Ancient Order honors
troops who embody St. Barbara’s sense of
sacrifice and stand out from those in the
Honorable Order, according to the U.S.
Army Field Artillery Association.
I’m happy to announce that the
judges have picked a winning essay in
our contest, “What Does Being American Mean to You?” The author of the
winning essay is Presca Daniel Medeiros, who is the widow of World War
II veteran Joseph Patro Medeiros. I’d like
to congratulate Presca on her winning
essay, and I thank everyone who entered
the contest, mahalo to all of you. The following is Presca’s essay.
Remember that John Candello will
be here Dec. 1 and 8 from 7:30 a.m. to 1
p.m. at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs by
appointment, call 553-3611.
What America Means to Me
By Presca Daniel Medeiros
America means all that is good and
noble. She is the heart of the world. She is
compassionate and offers her heart and hand
when she sees there is a need. She stands by
humanity with dignity and pride. She is
peace, equality, opportunity, and justice for
all. She welcomes every man, woman and
child to her bosom regardless of color, race,
creed, or status. She is the flaming torch of
freedom and democracy; the principles that
man may learn to embrace, dare and conquer perilous journeys free of doubt and
fears, overcoming obstacles to pursue that
which helps to create for all people in this
planet a better world. She is love, courage,
faith and hope for mankind. Her sons and
daughters are willing to lay down their lives
for the cause she signifies. Besides my family,
America means the world to me…for what
she is, for what she does, and for what she
signifies. Her principles symbolize a way of
life for all people beneath our sun, that we
may all live free from fear, tyranny, bondage
or oppression, to enjoy the blessings of liberty
and freedom. Embracing America is embracing peace for all mankind and for the world.
She is grace, blessed, my home and my pride.
I hope that everyone has a happy
Thanksgiving, and let us not forget our
troops around the world, and especially
those men and women that are in harm’s
way, protecting our way of life. We send
them a big mahalo, and to our veterans
and all the people of Molokai, you are
truly the best and I love you all. If anyone needs any help, please give old Jesse
a call at 553-3323.

Questioning Windmills
A Delicate Balance
W
hen a small island is up against a
billion dollar energy project it is
sort of like Don Quixote “tilting
against windmills.” Wait, it is exactly like
fighting windmills because in point of fact,
it is fighting windmills. Let me get this
straight. They want to build huge roads
across a scarred, erosion pitted landscape
dotted with sacred burial sites to pour 750ton concrete platforms on which to erect
400-foot tall windmills. And then they will
send the power by undersea cable through
the reef to Oahu?
The large number of trucks needed
for this project will employ many drivers.
There will be a need for road crews, construction workers, blue and white collar
managers and assortment of accessory positions (mechanics, security, etc.). Security
alone will increase the cost hugely. Sand in
the gas tanks is a possibility. Sugar in the
cement ruins the pour forever. Consider
these questions: What are the insurance
costs?
How many of the jobs needed for this
project will come from the Molokai job
pool?
How many off-island, unattached
men with too much money and nothing to
spend it on will be injected in to our fragile economy? How many more drugs will
end up here?
How many more drug-induced problems can Molokai survive? How many
more broken homes? And all this for
what? So Oahu can have more power and
Molokai get insufficient compensation?
Furthermore, what is the effect of bullets on the blades? How much does it cost
to replace a blade? This area is known for
poaching. There are thousands of deer
roaming the west end and this has been
prime hunting land for generations.
What is the cost of protecting the
project and is this cost also handed back
to the consumer since the public utility
is guaranteed a profit even if the projects
they build with inadequate information
are not cost effective?
And that’s the good news. Now a
look at the negative side of the project.
Are you outta your friggin’ mind?
I’d take 36-passenger cruise ships anytime
over windmills. And so would the passengers.

Linfield Wildcats Update
A
loha, I would like to take the time to
thank family, friends and the community of Molokai for supporting
my daughter, Kailana Ritte-Camara, and
the Lady Farmers all these years. Your
support has helped Kailana to achieve
her dreams. She is a freshman at Linfield
College in Oregon and made it on the volleyball team and is on the first string. She
has done remarkable things and I know
we can all be very, very proud of her. The
volleyball season has just ended and Kailana helped Linfield achieve sixth place in
the Northwest conference this year. She is
honorable mention on the all-league team
and ranks third among all the players in
the Northwest conference in kills. She also
was the only player to register 20 plus killer per game with 30 blocks and 21 aces on
the year. Anyone wanting to research any
more info on Kailana can go to Linfield
Athletics and click on women’s volleyball
or just go online and type in Kailana RitteCamara. Thank you everyone for all your
love and blessings.

Condo Owners Fight Back
T
he island of Molokai is renowned
for fighting off-island invaders in
ancient times and now big businesses. Now, a group of owners on the
west end are also fighting their homeowner association to keep a managed feral cat colony on the 14-acre property.
A couple of the directors of the Board
of the Ke Nani Kai Association of Apartment Owners believe that cats need to be
removed from the 14-acre property. They
feel it is their responsibility to get rid of
some of the cats at Ke Nani Kai (KNK) by
trapping and relocating them to a non-existent refuge on the island. The bylaws of
the association prohibit pets and animals
on the property. Yet the regulations have
not been enforced for 20 years.
The KNK Animal Control Committee (ACC) has worked very hard to reduce the number of cats from 50 to 31 in
the last three months on KNK property.
The Board cannot just change the House
Rules without changing the KNK bylaws,
i.e. the House Rules must conform to the
bylaws. This takes a vote of the owners,
which must pass by 67 percent - just like
our volunteer committee is trying to do
with the proposed amendments to the bylaws to make KNK animal friendly again.
The Board approved feeding the cats on
the lanais and front porches by the ACC.
Six months ago, the ACC did a survey of the KNK owners and found 67.4
percent of our owners were in favor of the
proposed managed cat colony at KNK.
Many of these cats have been on property as long as 15 years. Nothing has been
done to them before now.
Let's face it – the managed property
cats have saved us from a severe infestation of rats and mice this year -- something that a predominantly absent-fromisland Board could not do. A handful of
people cannot be allowed to remove our
managed property cats that depend on us
for food, neutering and good health.
Perhaps all of us are God's creation,
be it great or small, and there is a reason
for allowing cats to remain on Ke Nani
Kai property.
Bob Aldrich
Purdy Ohana Concert
M
ahalo, Molokai ohana, for
supporting our successful
Purdy Ohana reunion fundraising concert.
We apologize to the fire and police
department for the unexpected incident
that occurred at our event. If known,
we would have not allowed such actions that caused an adverse experience
to an otherwise beautiful affair. Thanks
to your quick response the episode was
contained immediately.
Under the circumstance, however,
we were blessed with good weather,
awesome music, and wonderful camaraderie; and most importantly “no harm
came to those that attended.” Mahalo,
Ke Akua for blessing us all.

Opinion by Clare Mawae
R
ecently, I watched those that
I love, respect and care about
protest the yacht Safari Explorer
come to our shores. As a business owner
and a resident of Molokai, I consistently
seek the balance with how I conduct
business. Change is always scary and
the fear of the future is no different
but as I reflect on the past decade, it is
hard to dismiss the economic hardships,
which continue to burn a huge scar into
the hearts of people worldwide.
Small businesses have and continue
to struggle for survival over the past decade and 2012 is not looking much better.
Unemployment is rising, state and federal
programs are being cut back, the safety
of government job whether state or federal still hangs in the balance and the small
business scrapes the pennies to make it
through another month.
On Oct. 25, the Safari Explorer came
to the shores of Molokai for a blessing of
the boat. Six years of planning with many
discussions with local elders/kupuna,
businesses and individuals were done
with a process considered right that would
help kick start a spluttering Molokai economic engine. Molokai had surely suffered
with the knocks that the people had taken
over the decade of change. To so many in
the community, the yacht is a blessing because of the opportunities that it can create
to not just those twenty businesses immediately involved but to the expansion of
jobs and to other branch out effects that
commerce can bring to the community. No
one project can benefit the entire community instantly but as time passes the next
person benefits along with creative ideas
and entrepreneurial startups.
We can go back and forth on what
is the right protocol, but pointing fingers
is not the answer. A solution is present
along with constructive talk and discussion. Please bear in mind that commerce
and keeping a healthy economic cycle is an
important component to keeping our community alive. If grant money runs out and
welfare, state and federal programs were
taken away, would the opinions shift?
The common ground is that both protestors and supporters of this new venture
are saying “no cruise ships” as that would
surely offset the balance of economics, rural and cultural beauty that Molokai holds.
No locally owned business on Molokai
can handle huge numbers but this venture
brings a balance that is sought within the
business community, so it can serve its
community.
Perhaps Molokai can take the culture
both past and present, perpetuate and
preserve, but in the same breath use this
in helping to keep the island alive in both
a sustainable economic and cultural environment. Many want balance and perhaps
this opportunity can help us settle future
protocols for the last time, with equal input from both sides of the line. So perhaps
we as a community should say, “Isn’t it
time to find the balance, haven’t we had
enough grumbling already?”
Unwritten Literature
I
dance hula to preserve the art of
telling a story with my whole being. Hula continuously expresses
what words can’t. For instance, nature’s beauty, giving thanks, praise
and glory to our maker Ke Akua. My
movement becomes spiritual, there is
mana (power). Although hula can be
taught to everybody, it is not meant
for everybody! Sometimes as an observer of hula, I must admit certain individuals who don’t have the pilikoko
(blood) dance outstandingly!
Hula has two distinct styles: kahiko (old, ancient) and awana (modern), both depicted in Hawaiian culture. In 1997, I entered my very first
hula halau school NamakahonuaKailiwale in Makaaha on Oahu with
Kumu Leimomi Nani Cruz Losano.
In 2000, the school presented me with
a certificate for the hardest working.
Then in 2001 we flew to Molokai and
participated during Hula Piko early
morning ceremonies.
I relate to the real old style because kahiko tells how Kanaka Maoli
are peaceable caretakers of the land
(makainana), daily human survivors.
When I use musical instruments,
I get into an elated “natural high”
which enhances the story. Hula is an
unwritten literature. I dance proudly;
joy is on my face (minoaka) spirit in
my countenance (hemolele).
I commend E Hula Nani E, a “leisure hulau” and Halua Hula O Kahili
Ona Eka Lau Oho. These kumu keep
Hawaiian culture alive now and for
generations to come. The leisure halau’s kumu is Lori Higa and O Kahili
Ana Eka Lau Oho Kumu is D.J. Pelekai.
I learned the tongue (olelo) and
my listening (ho`olohe) caused me
to become disciplined in my fluent
movements. As a result of my experiences I now have an achievable goal
of perhaps becoming kumu hula and
opening a halau…see you at practice.
Aloha Ke Akua, Malama Pono
