Local Business, International Success
Since 1985

olokai local Suzette Kahana has
collected vintage fabrics, buttons and jewelry for decades.
She never dreamed it would evolve into
an international venture through the
business she created with her daughter
Amber Andrade nine months ago.
Kahana said she has always
sewed for her family on Molokai
-- from Halloween and dance costumes, to prom dresses, wedding
and beauty pageant gowns. After
30 years of collecting and cramming
storage rooms of vintage material,
one of her dresses, made for Andrade, caught the eyes of passersby
in Oahu.
“So many people stopped her
that day saying, ‘Beautiful dress,
where did you get that,’” said Kahana.
Andrade encouraged Kahana to
make more of her dresses and take
them to the Mililani Uke Elementary
School Craft Fair last December, and
Kalapaki Girls Dezigns (KGD) was
born.
“It’s spread like wildfire,” said
Andrade. Today, KGD dresses are
worn in New York, Chicago, Texas,
Virginia and Pittsburg, Brazil and
Japan.
KGD specializes in transforming
vintage fabrics and embellishments
into modern dresses, hats, and now
clutches, which are produced from
Kahana’s Kawela home.
“We’re lucky because we have a
network of family and friends that
just call us and say, ‘Hey my grandma is cleaning out her closet. Do you
want her material?’” said Kahana.
“The fabrics back then were colorful, bright, they wore well, and they
didn’t fade. They stay perfect.”

is one-of-a-kind, according to Andrade.
“This dress that I’m wearing, no
one is going to have this dress again
and I like that,” Andrade said, referring to the floral, coral and blue
strapless KGD dress she was sporting. “Especially here in Hawaii on
the small outer islands, you’ll go to a
party and see 10 people wearing the
same print and same style.”
Though the dresses are designed
to fit every frame and figure, Kahana
said they have started to custom design for family reunions, weddings,
hula halau, as well as for individual
customers.
Oahu customer Kim Watanabe
said she has about 20 KGD dresses in
her closet because they’re comfortable, easy to wear and appropriate
for many occasions.
“They’re going to do a custom
dress for me out of my old skirt
that’s too big,” said Watanabe. “I’ve
been getting a lot of compliments at
work [on the dresses] and one of my
co-workers…might even be placing
a custom order too.”
Showcasing at Larger Venues
Since KGD began in December,
they have appeared in two fashion
shows and two other state craft fairs
including the Merrie Monarch in
Hilo and the Made in Hawaii Festival on Oahu, where they were one of
three Molokai small businesses that
received grants to attend.
This year, the Maui County Office of Economic Development and
INNOVATE Hawaii partnered to
provide assistance for new businesses that needed help to hit bigger
markets.
“Two hundred investors were
brought in to the festival to look at the
wears so besides the general public,
there were also buyers to take small
businesses to that next level,” said
Jennifer Hawkins, Molokai’s small
business advocate for the Kuha`o

rleone Dibben-Young crouched
in her living room and gestured to her less-than-lively
guests. An albatross occupied her coffee table, Hawaiian Coots gathered on
her rug, and a barn owl lay near her
couch. She has been sharing her home
with more than 40 taxidermy birds she
has collected, prepared, stuffed and
mounted for research.
“It’s kind of a weird hobby, isn’t
it?” she laughed.
Dibben-Young, Molokai’s water
bird researcher, has dedicated the
last three months to clean out her
freezer of birds she’s acquired for
the past 10 years, making taxidermies, or skins, she plans to donate to
the Bishop Museum on Oahu.
“My freezer now is empty, hallelujah,” said Dibben-Young. “I promised my husband that any bird that
I get in the future, I’d do the skin
that weekend so it never gets [backlogged] again.”

“I refuse to cut away games,” said
Haliniak. “There has to be a way -where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
To help raise money to save the
program, Haliniak said Farmer faithful
will be asked to pay an admissions fee
to home games this year. Previously, admissions were charged to volleyball and
basketball events, but baseball, softball
and football will be added to the list this
year.
Adult admission to football is $6
and other sports are $5, with senior and
child discounts. Students with IDs from
participating schools are free.
“I don’t want to cut any sports because we have 196 students out of 350
high school students who want to participate in athletics,” Haliniak said.
State budget cuts for athletics from
the Hawaii Department of Education
began in 2008, when funding was nixed
for extra-curricular activities like sports
and the arts, Haliniak explained. Molokai High still receives just over $13,000
in state allocations for athletics, but that
is barely a drop in the bucket.
Additional funding is given to

keep afloat this year, lacking thousands of dollars needed for
196 students in the school’s 12 sports
to participate in off-island games.
Yet with a $40,000 budget shortfall
for travel expenses, Athletic Director
Hoku Haliniak is determined to keep
Farmers sports programs intact.

Struggle for
Funding
Practicing bird taxidermy has
been an integral part of biological research as early as the 18th and 19th
centuries, said Dibben-Young.
As European ships traveled
around the world in the 1700s, according to historical records, mere
curiosity fueled the assembly of
plants and animals. Diverse birds
were hunted, collected and skinned
to make flat pelts for easy storage on
the ship. By the early 1800s, curiosity evolved into scientific research.
Over the years, federal laws
changed, and under the U.S. Migratory Bird Treaty Act set in place in
1918, it is now forbidden to hunt,
take, capture, kill or sell live or dead
migratory birds. Currently, more
than 800 species are listed and protected under the treaty, according to
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
“Now it’s really difficult because
you can’t just go and collect [birds]
anymore,” said Dibben-Young. Birds
in Hawaii are protected and people
can’t just go out and get them, she

Dibben-Young follows laws
against hunting migratory birds
for collection. However, she carries
federal permits that allow her to
salvage dead migratory birds, rehabilitate sick birds and euthanize
them if needed, and to conduct and
maintain taxidermies. According to

in Maui County received a stipend
of $1,000 and/or free booth space at
the festival. The three winners from
Molokai included, KGD, Kupu A`e
hand-dyed scarves and women’s
wear, and Art Beads Maui.
Expanding Markets
Through the Made in Hawaii
Festival, Kahana said KGD is now
going to be sold in three boutiques
in Oahu.
Andrade said while she occasionally opens her home to private
dress parties, much of their sales
come from their online Etsy store,
Facebook, and Instagram. Because
of the power of the Internet, KGD
products have been sent across the
U.S.
“Someone so far away can see
what we have…and the process is
actually very simple.”
Their Internet presence has also
caught international attention in
Brazil and Japan.
“The lady who wholesales from
us in Japan works at an Olympic development center,” said Andrade.
“She said [her halau hula] just loves
them and it’s so cute because she’ll
take pictures of the group and send
them to me.”
According to Kahana, Andrade
is working with a second business
this week in Japan to also sell KGD
products in the near future.

Andrade sells and markets them
from her home on Oahu.
Andrade said that because they
haven’t had experience running a
retail business, they are continuously learning about how to run it
effectively.
Kahana said she’s thankful for
the help she received from Hawkins,
Kim Haueisen at the Maui County
Office of Economic Development
as well as the Maui Economic Opportunity (MEO) business classes
taught by Kuulei Arce.
In the future, Andrade said
opening up a storefront might be a
possibility, however they’re in no
hurry for the extra responsibility a
store would entail. She feels blessed
that KGD has been so successful in a
short period of time and sees this as
a good bonding experience for her
and her mom.
“I’ve told my mom that for me,
I want us to do the company as long
as it’s something that we enjoy to
do,” said Andrade. “Let’s say tomorrow it is over and done with, I

friend on Oahu, Eliza Biven, while
Molokai from the Maui Interscholastic
League (MIL), said Haliniak. Athletic
directors at fellow MIL schools voted
that Molokai should receive the bulk of
transportation funding -- almost $32,000
-- because MHS athletes have to travel to
Maui-based events, she added.
“But we still struggle,” Haliniak
said. She has to eke out enough funding to cover 762 round trip tickets on the
ferry to Maui this year -- and that doesn’t
include events for teams that make it to
the state level.
“Last year, we had eight teams
representing us at states, and three MIL
champions,” Haliniak said proudly.
Molokai athletes and coaches have
to work extra hard and make sacrifices
for those titles.
“[Being from Molokai] we lose out
on a lot of that extra play,” said Haliniak.
“A basketball team in Honolulu would
get 18 to 20 games before regular season,
Maui would get maybe 10, and our players would get 3 or 4…before MILs.”
Coaches also have to make tough
selections, brining only the minimum
number of players to off-island games.
Their opponents often show up with
more than double the number of Molokai athletes.
“In some cases, we’ll have five girls
against 18 girls,” said girls Air Riflery
coach Eddie Gorospe. “What’s hard for
us is that we have to travel to every meet.
We don’t have the funding to fly 40 kids
to meets off-island.”
Haliniak said most sports only go
to two meets before MILs, and if teams
want to attend more, they fundraise on
their own.
In addition to charging admissions
-- which brought in about $7,000 last year
during home volleyball and basketball
games -- the Athletics Department offers
2
concessions, booths at various events,
and participated in the Charity Walk,
where they raised about $3,800 this year.
Haliniak’s commitment doesn’t end
there. She herself spends personal time
scraping together money for her teams.
For 21 weekends this year, she said
she will be on Maui at Wal-Mart, selling
Chinese Pretzels and Big Island Candies
to raise money for the Athletic Department.
“Hoku goes out of her way to find
any kind of funding,” said Gorospe. “She
goes over and beyond for our athletics.”
Haliniak said part of the budget
shortfall this year has come from the
addition of two new sports to Molokai
High -- 8-man football and golf. She said
she and the school’s administration try
not to let funding dictate the sports that
students can play, but base decisions instead on student interest.
She hopes to be able to add a Junior
Varsity program to Molokai High’s athletic offerings in the future, so that more
students will be able to participate in
sports.
“For us to be competitive in the MIL
and have representation is fabulous but
if we had more opportunities, I think our
kids would excel even more,” Haliniak
said.

said donations can be made to:

No Proof for GMO Safety
Opinion by Kevin Brown
In 1992, President George W.H. Bush
made an executive order stating that Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
are “substantially equivalent” to ordinary seeds and crops. The Federal Drug
Administration (FDA) then adopted a
policy permitting the production of GM
organisms without independent testing.
In the late 1990s, Arpad Pusztai, a
molecular biologist and GMO supporter,
found that rats fed GM potatoes had “...
smaller livers, hearts, testicles and brains,
damaged immune systems, and showed
structural changes in their white blood
cells....” Pusztai expressed his concerns
on a British television program and was
promptly suspended and forced to retire
from his position. Dr. Pusztai’s research
was later peer reviewed and published in
The Lancet, according to organicconsumers.org.
Dr. Judy Carman, associate professor of Flinders University in Australia
and a team of seven scientists published
a long-term, peer-reviewed toxicology
study on GM-fed pigs. The study revealed that 134 of the pigs had serious
digestive and reproductive damage plus
damage to liver, uterus, and stomach,
while the control group had none. More
about this study can be found at responsibletechnology.org/posts/this-little-piggy-was-fed-gmos.
At least one GM organism has been
restricted owing to the danger of harming humans. StarLink, a type of Bt corn
patented by Aventis, incorporating the
protein Cry9C, is banned for human
consumption because it’s a potential human allergen. Nevertheless, in 2005, aid
sent by the UN World Food Programme
and the U.S. to Central American nations
was found to be highly contaminated
with StarLink corn, with 80 percent of
the 50 samples tested coming back positive. Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras
and El Salvador refused the aid. In 2010,
StarLink was found in taco shells and
other corn products here in the U.S. It
was taken off the market. But this year
Saudi Arabia, a country that prohibits the
import of GM animal and plant products
for agricultural use, found a bunch of the
stuff in their food supply, according to
greenmedinfo.com.
So, there is definitely cause for concern. There is a sound and compelling
reason to stop further GMO use now and
have non-industry experts study the actual products that are being patented and
distributed.
GM is permitted by fiat, but it’s not
properly tested by scientists who operate
outside the industry, and some of it has a
potential for harming humans.
Regarding the regulatory process,
it has been noted that Bt soy, corn, and
canola, are classified by the Environmental Protection Agency as “bio-pesticides,”
on the one hand, yet the USDA and FDA
classify them as “safe” and “substantially
equivalent” to non-GM crops. Furthermore, a new study suggests that, in the
process of controlling one species of pest,
another, different species may take over
the degradation of the plant, according to
greenmedinfo.com.
Three things are clear. We don’t
know if GM products are safe for human
or animal consumption, and it needs to
be studied. Controlling the dissemination of GMs has been mismanaged. And
the use of inserted genes will possibly
backfire on the environment.
Organic methods pose no such
threats.

Fertilizing Your Garden
By Joe Kennedy
How do you grow
a large veggie garden,
like a community garden, and get enough
fertilizer to make everything thrive? Going
to the store and paying
higher and high prices
for packaged, synthetic, petroleumbased fertilizers that’s been shipped
from the mainland is not the answer.
So where do we get it? Look around
and try to remember the things that
have high amounts of nitrogen in
them.
Some easy-to-find, high-nitrogen
materials include grass clippings
from lawns and roadsides, the leaves,
seeds, pods and twigs from the mon-
3
key pod and koa, and the dirt from
under these trees. Other sources can
come from the leaves and roots from
high nitrogen plants like sun hemp,
peas, beans , clover, glycine vine, as
well as seaweed. Human and animal
urine is also rich in nitrogen. The
best way to use it is to add it to the
mulch, then water it in with the hose
profusely, about 10 times more water
than urine.
There are a lot of animals and objects in a nature-garden that can make
soil fertile and productive. Geckos,
all kinds of insects and pollinators,
earthworms, microorganisms, algae,
even aquatic organisms if you have a
small pond. All these life- forms work
in strange connections to make your
plants thrive.
Did you know that Genetically
Modified Organisms (GMO) is not
only limited to the food we eat? Here
is how we may be exposed to GMOs
on a daily basis without even knowing it.
Personal care and cleaning products:
bike more frequently, when possible.
Interestingly, while Monsanto
claims to feed the world using biotechnology, quite a bit of GMO crops
are not being grown for human consumption.
It is also important to know that
it is through our permeable skin and
airways that many potentially harmful substances enter our body and
into our bloodstream. Let’s protect
ourselves, especially our children
who are most vulnerable, by taking
small, proactive steps to reduce our
exposure to GMOs in our home.

crops in the U.S. visit: ers.usda.gov/

The next time you lather lotion
on your skin or clean your shower,
have a look at the product labels you
are using. Among the incredibly long
list of synthetic ingredients you may
come across soy protein (derived
from GM soy) or alcohol and glycerin
(both derived from GM corn). Some
healthier options include Dr. Bronner’s pure castile soap for hair and
skin cleansing, extra virgin coconut
oil for hair and skin conditioning, and

your home cleaning needs.
Cotton:
Seventy-six percent of BT cotton
planted in the U.S. in 2012 was genetically modified, according to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA).
If your clothing and linen are not labeled organic, it is likely to have been
manufactured with GM cotton. Next
to organic cotton other safe material
include hemp, bamboo, lyocell/tencel, modal, linen, and Eco spun.
Iced Lemongrass Tea
Ingredients
12
fresh
lemongrass
stalks, 1 or 2
outer
leaves
discarded
¼ cup honey
8 cups water
Soy Ink:
A few decades ago, newspapers
were once printed with petroleumbased ink. Now a shift has been
made toward using vegetable based
inks, commonly derived from GM
soybeans. Ninety-three percent of soy
planted in the U.S. in 2012 was genetically modified, according to the
USDA. Knowing this, you may want
to take extra precaution and cleanse
your hands after handling newspaper.
Gasoline:
GM corn has been approved to
produce ethanol, now being mixed
in with gasoline. Eight-five percent
of corn grown in the U.S. in 2012 was
genetically modified, according to the
USDA. Perhaps this may encourage
more of us to drive less and walk or
Preparation
Trim off bottom 6 inches of lemongrass stalks. Cut enough lemongrass tops crosswise into 1/2-inch
pieces (discard any discolored parts)
to measure 1 cup. Bring lemongrass
pieces, honey, and 2 cups water to a
boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sweetener is dissolved, then
remove from heat and let steep, partially covered, 20 minutes.
Put remaining 6 cups water in a
pitcher. Blend lemongrass mixture in
a blender until lemongrass is finely
chopped (use caution when blending hot liquids), then pour through a
fine-mesh sieve into water in pitcher,
discarding solids. Serve over ice.

Interpretation of
Molokai’s Beauty
By Michael Onofrio
Editor’s note: Michael just graduated from Molokai High School and is
an applicant for The Molokai Dispatch’s
Excellence in Writing and Media Scholarship. He is currently in Rhode Island
attending college. Over the coming
weeks, we are printing a series of Michael’s photos.
These pictures represent my interpretation of the beauty of Molokai.
Although Molokai is small, it has its advantages. Known as the “Friendly Isle,”
aloha isn’t only a word, but a way of
life. In my view, the beauty of Molokai
isn’t only found up in the mountains or
at the beach, but it can be found right in
Kaunakakai town.
I appreciate the many talented musicians here on Molokai. I have learned
so much from the people here who are
willing to share and teach what they
know. They play songs from the heart
and I will miss the sweet “sounds of
aloha” as it fills the air here on Molokai.

Taxidermy
Continued From pg. 1
Dibben-Young, she is the only one
in the state permitted to conduct
taxidermies on migratory birds.
Molly Hagemann, the Bishop
Museum’s vertebrate zoology collections manager, said they currently hold 35,000 birds in their collection. Only 81 specimens have been
received from Molokai since 1902,
according to the Museum’s database.
“For decades, Molokai has had
a lack of any birder on the island,”
said Dibben-Young. “The last birder was in 1969 so [compared to research gathered on other islands]
there’s very little data on bird observations or bird populations on
the island.”
Because of the laws set in place
to restrict hunting birds, road kills,
tower strikes, window kills, and
depredation by cats are her primary
methods of acquiring specimens.
“Typically if people find a fresh
road kill, they’ll bring it by [my
house],” laughed Dibben-Young.
“They know, if it’s dead, just bring
it to Arleone.”
In order to make a skin, the bird
first has to be in decent condition
and received before the body begins
to rot. Any birds unsalvageable are
taken to the landfill, according to
Dibben-Young.
“It can’t be smelly yet,” she
said. “If it’s stinky, forget it. You
can’t do anything with it because
the organs have melted inside and
you just can’t get rid of that smell
ever.”
Tools for taxidermy can range
from surgical tools, art supplies,
and even every-day kitchen utensils. Referring to her tool kit as her
bag of tricks, she said she uses antique scalpels and pins decorated
with real pearls, scissors and toenail
clippers for cutting bones, pottery
scrapers and small kitchen knives
for scraping fat, and toothbrushes and tweezers for reaching into
small areas.
The general process, according to Dibben-Young, first involves
thoroughly soaking the birds in
Coleman liquid fuel to dissolve the
fat, then washed using dish soap,

and dried via hairdryer.
The bird is cut and cleaned out,
false eyes are placed into the head,
and the body is stuffed with cotton and a stick to protect the shape.
After the birds are stitched up and
dried for a week, they are labeled
for museum use.
The entire process can vary
from one to 12 hours depending on
the size and body type of the bird,
said Dibben-Young. A skilled taxidermist can preserve the specimen
for 400 years.
Sisters and Molokai High School
(MHS) students Lily and Sarah Jenkins have been assisting, DibbenYoung with her wetland research
for years and also helped taxidermy
for the past three months.
“I didn’t really mind [working
with the birds],” said Lily, a freshman at MHS. “We see a lot of dead
things and my friend skins a lot of
deer, but it was really cool just to
learn the process and to see what
the outcome is.”
Lily said her least favorite part
was washing the bird because the
length of time it could take, however the experience provides a good
step into natural resources, a field
both sisters are pursuing.
“I was able to learn a lot of the
anatomy of the birds and it was really cool to get the hands on experience,” said Sarah, a junior at MHS.
“This is something I probably won’t
even get to do in college.”
Though Dibben-Young said
taxidermy isn’t for everyone, the
practice provides important information researchers can use to understand migration patterns and
lifespan of endangered birds, which
can provide better incentives for
habitat preservation and predator
control. Scientists can also use bird
collections to analyze evolutionary
processes as well as use genetics to
learn about climate change.
“Right now, museum specimens from 200 years ago are being
used to identify the habitat that the
birds lived in,” said Dibben-Young.
“[Researchers] are pulling out feathers and can tell what the weather
conditions were, the climatic conditions at the time, what the bird was
eating, and the habitat.”
Dibben-Young said she feels a
moral responsibility to help fill the
research gaps and continue to practice taxidermy, because museums
and universities are in continuous
need of specimens and very few are
brought in from Molokai.
“Somebody has to do it,” Dibben-Young said. “It’s really important so if somebody has the ability
to do it, they really need to. For me,
that’s my contribution to the world
of conservation.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “No regrets? Really?” asks
author Richard Power. “I have regrets. They are sacred to me.
They inform my character. They bear witness to my evolution.
Glimpses of lost love and treasure are held inside of them; like
small beautiful creatures suspended in amber.” I think you can
see where this horoscope is going, Aries. I’m going to suggest you do what Powers advises: “Do not avoid your regrets.
Embrace them. Listen to their stories. Hold them to your heart
when you want to remember the price you paid to become
who you truly are.” (Find more by Richard Power here: tinyurl.
com/RichardPower.)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Mystical poet St. John of the
Cross (1542-1591) was one of Spain’s greatest writers. But
not all of his work came easily. When he was 35, a rival religious group imprisoned him for his mildly heretical ideas. He
spent the next nine months in a ten-foot by six-foot jail cell,
where he was starved, beaten, and tortured. It was there that
he composed his most renowned poem, “Spiritual Canticle.”
Does that provide you with any inspiration, Libra? I’ll make a
wild guess and speculate that maybe you’re in a tough situation yourself right now. It’s not even one percent as tough as
St. John’s, though. If he could squeeze some brilliance out of
his predicament, you can, too.
