T
he Molokai High Class of 2011 stood
together for the last time in The Barn
last Saturday, commemorating their
past four years and facing the future that
lies ahead of them as graduates.
Cheers of support and an occasional
blow horn from proud parents and teachers filled the gym as the 75 grinning graduates filed onto center stage. As class president Ka`oli Place stated in his message,
the “kolohe class” was coming to an end
but their legacy was just beginning.
Valedictorian Kawena Puhi, pictured
right, who received $6,500 in scholarships
last Wednesday during a recognition assembly, brought many of the 500 audience
members to tears with her speech.
“Opportunities will come knocking
on our doors,” Puhi said. “It is our choice
to open it, enter it or walk away. If it hasn’t
sunken in yet, here is your wake-up call.”
“I’ll definitely remember Kawena’s
speech,” said classmate Marejke Ah Loy. “It
made me cry. She said it’s time to move on
and to spread our wings and fly.”
Tears were quickly replaced by
smiles and laughter as students hitchkicked their way off stage with diploma in
hand and posed for pictures onstage with
friends. Farmers’ colors fell from the ceiling as hundreds of balloons reached flying
shakas and waves of triumph.
And while acknowledgments of
hard work and success were warmly
accepted by the graduates throughout
the day, they extended their share of
gratitude and appreciation to loved ones
who made this day possible. Waving
banners and gesturing toward audience
members, the seniors thanked their ohana, school faculty and staff and friends
for their continual support and helping
them reach their high school achievements.
Health Providers Talk Collaboration
By Megan Stephenson
I
n a historic move, the island’s health
care providers gathered last week to
discuss how to co-exist peacefully.
The meeting – the first of many –
was called by the Department of Health
(DOH), stemming from concerns over
duplication of services between Molokai
General Hospital (MGH) and the Molokai
Community Health Center (MCHC).
The assembly at Kulana `Oiwi, attended by residents and public and private health care providers alike, discussed
both the strengths and weaknesses of
Molokai’s health care. The issue at the
heart of the meeting was availability of
services and how to best serve the community. Cora Schnackenberg, a resident
who attended last week’s meeting, said
insurance dictates where many residents
can go to for health care, and a variety of
services is a benefit for residents.
“We gotta stop cutting throats,” she
said. “You can’t monopolize [health care],
we gotta work together.”
DOH officials called the meeting to
begin forming a comprehensive health care
plan among the island’s providers, creating
an inventory of services to find any gaps

Molokai to share her talents.

as “whipping up some of the best

It was Gaines-Alt’s mother
that got her on the show, she said,
encouraging her to attend the

had just catered a large event and

far from what it seems.
“It’s not like you just jump in
your chef suit and cook,” she said.
“You’re locked in a condo with 14
strangers.”
The 15 contestants weren’t allowed to read magazines, talk to
family or watch TV for the three
months during filming to ensure
they had no access to recipes or
outside cooking ideas.
“We couldn’t even go outside
without a chaperone,” she remembered. “For fun, we’d bowl watermelons in the house” because that
was all there was to do.

Correction
In the May 18, 2011 issue of The Molokai Dispatch, funding for the Molokai
Community Health Center was erroneously attributed in ‘Health Center
Moves Ahead.’ The center did not receive $450,000 from a grant appropriated
to them in 2009, and instead received an additional $500,000 Grant-in-Aid
(GIA) for phase two construction.

Drop In Center At Risk
By Mark Hayden
K
nown as the “drop in center,”
Hana Ka Lima Clubhouse is a
refuge for 75 on-island recovering addicts and mental health patients.
The green house on Manako Lane in
Kaunakakai has a garden, kitchen, TV,
computer, board games and always
someone around to talk story. But on
May 26, it may be closed indefinitely.
Joe Childs, case manager for Hana
Ka Lima, with his assistant and wife
Althea, could be laid off due to a statewide hiring freeze set by Gov. Neil
Abercrombie. The Childs’s work on
an 89-day contract basis, and their current terms end on May 26. Because of
the freeze, the Department of Health
(DOH), which funds and oversees the
drop in center, may not be able to hire
them back.
“I spent a year on this island homeless,” said clubhouse member Dane Cedarholm. “If it wasn’t for Joe and Althea
to get the irons in the fire and get Maui
County involved, I’d still be living in a
cave over at Papahaku [beach].”
Due to budget shortfalls, the freeze
took effect on May 3. It should end
when the next fiscal year begins on June
30, according to Loretta Fuddy, director
of the Hawaii DOH. However, a month
without the clubhouse is too long for
those who frequent it.
“… We need the drop in center,” said
Moses Luczon, a local home care provider who offers housing to three users of
the clubhouse. “We need Joe and Althea.
If you walk around town, you’ll see a lot
of people who need their help.”
The DOH has asked Abercrombie
for an exemption for Hana Ka Lima.
Fuddy said they hope to finalize an exemption before the 26th. As the paper
went to press, the DOH was still waiting for an answer.
The Childs’s have been working at
the center for seven years to help people with drug addictions, homelessness
and mental illness, and to lead them
onto a different path in life.
The drop in center is open Mondays,
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, from
8:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

class, third and fifth graders of Kaunakakai Elementary, Kilohana Elementary
and Kualapu`u School professed their
commitment to stay drug-free – yelling
at the top of their lungs at Molokai Police Department D.A.R.E. Officer Sonny
Kaai last Wednesday.
“My work is not really

classroom with the kids as
we talk about the severity of

“They’ve learned a lot and
I’m proud of them.”
Three years ago the
state cut grant money for the
D.A.R.E. program. It continues to thrive today under the
Maui County Police Department’s own funding.
“If we can get the message to stop one kid from abusing [drugs], then we are successful and
the program continues to be worthwhile,”
said Danny Matsuura, Maui County Police Department assistant chief.
Kaunakakai third-grader Kaimana
Nakayama was appreciative of the advice
he learned during his D.A.R.E. lessons.

it will make me a good person.”

at Public Open House

National Park Service News Release
K
alaupapa National Historical
Park is in the process of developing a General Management
Plan (GMP). The GMP will describe
the general path that the National
Park Service (NPS) and its partners
intend to follow in managing Kalaupapa over the next 15-20 years.
The open houses will provide forums for discussing four different future visions for managing resources
and opportunities for visitors at Kalaupapa. These preliminary alternatives represent many statements and
ideas that were provided by the public
during earlier phases of the planning
process.
Molokai will host two meetings:
June 6 at McVeigh Social Hall in Kalaupapa, 9-11 a.m. and 5-7 p.m.; and June 7
at the Mitchell Pauole Center in Kaunakakai, 10 a.m. - 12 noon and 6-8 p.m.
The preliminary alternatives address specific issues for Kalaupapa
and consider Hawaiian land management concepts while also following
federal and state laws and policies.
The alternatives encompass a wide
North Hawaii Community Hospital new release
range of actions, including the preservation of historic features, development of visitor and interpretive
facilities both on-site and off-site, and
education and outreach programs.
Once fully developed, one of these alternatives may be selected as the preferred alternative or a new alternative
could emerge.
“We are at a crucial stage in the
long-range planning for Kalaupapa
National Historical Park,” said Stephen Prokop, superintendent of Kalaupapa National Historical Park.
“These next steps will guide Kalaupapa into the future; therefore it is
very important for the general public
to continue to participate in this planning effort to ensure that all ideas and
points of view are considered.”
At this time, the National Park
Service invites the public to engage
in this discussion. Seven public open
house meetings are scheduled on the
islands of Molokai, Oahu and Maui to
present and discuss the preliminary
management alternatives for Kalaupapa National Historical Park.

land’s mental health services, school health
aid and public health nurses.
The Positive
MGH’s emergency facilities are not
only a necessity, but also offer a high
quality of service, as many attendees
mentioned. Although Molokai has limited specialist services, such as the lack
of an on-island eye doctor, residents do
have chemotherapy, dialysis and women’s health available among many other
services at MGH.
Matt Yamashita, a MCHC board
member, pointed out that Molokai has
excellent doctors “across the board.” Others applauded the island’s only pharmacy,
Molokai Drugs, a family-run business that
provides more than just prescription drugs.
One attendee mentioned Molokai’s
growing professional development in the
medical field, such as Wai Ola `O Hina,
where local students can learn therapy
services and find employment on-island.
Among the attendees were MGH and
MCHC, representatives from Na Pu`uwai,
Veterans Affairs, Hospice Hawaii, Liberty
Dialysis and private care providers Chris
Chow and Mary Hoffman.
The Negative
Those at the meeting agreed that
Molokai’s main challenge with health
care is access to services – geographically,
socially, culturally and economically.
Yolanda Tanielu, parent co-chair of
Molokai Community Children’s Council
and whose daughter is in special education,
said not only is there no transitional period from special education to adult mental
health services, but the mental health facilities here are currently inadequate.
“I don’t give a s*** about your competition, I just want services for my child,” she
said to the table of professionals. “It’s not
about quantity, it’s about quality…[but] on
Molokai, what we get is what we get.”

of Health (DOH) facilitator, said budget

rigid Mulloy, a certified nurse

the 2011 Distinguished Alumna
for the Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing at the University of Wyoming.
Mulloy was the featured speaker at
the School of Nursing Convocation
Ceremony on May 7,
where she spoke to an
audience of 500 people
about her experiences
as a midwife on Molokai. She was also honored at that ceremony
for her excellence in
clinical practice as a
CNM and for her outstanding
community
contributions.
Brigid
is
well
-known on Molokai
where she lived from
1994 to 2010, and practiced for 13 years as a
nurse midwife and was
the director of the Molokai Women’s Health
Center. She delivered over 250 babies
during her time on Molokai, the oldest
of which have now graduated from high
school. Brigid and her husband Claud
Sutcliffe are now living in Waimea on
the Big Island, near Brigid’s son Phineas
Kelly and his family, who now works at
University of Hawaii Hilo.
In 2007, she was recruited to work
at the North Hawaii Community Hospital’s Family Birthing Unit, where she
joined a practice with JoAnn Johansen, another CNM who worked many
years on Molokai. This opportunity
gave Brigid the chance to grow professionally as a midwife,
and to pursue other
interests, such as taking Elderhostel groups
to experience Easter
Island. She continues
to be involved in the
work her father, the
late University of Wyoming anthropology
professor, Dr. William
Mulloy, began with the
support of the University of Wyoming in the
1950s. She was instrumental in the creation
of the William Mulloy
Library, a research facility for archeologists
and the people of Easter Island. Brigid was also invited by
the University of Wyoming in 2007 to
represent her father at the opening of
the new anthropology building on the
Laramie campus.

Duplication vs. Options
While many believe variety of health
care available on the island is positive,
others say that is Molokai’s demise.
“Molokai is notorious for [having]
turf issues for years,” said Jane Lee, MGH
trustee and a co-founder of Na Pu`uwai.
“I’d like to [get] rid of duplication services – its wasting money.”
Although many areas on Oahu, Hawaii Island and Maui have island-wide
health plans, Molokai’s plan was initiated after the duplication issue arose last
year between MGH and MCHC – and a
$1 million state grant was withheld from
MCHC for building renovations until the
issue was resolved. MCHC and MGH
both provide primary care, but MCHC
Executive Director Desiree Puhi said in
a past interview that MGH’s emergency
services, internal medicine, and women’s health are not in competition with
MCHC’s pediatrician and dental services.
Loretta Fuddy, director of the DOH,
said until the plan is formally implemented, the state will not release the second
half of the grant.
“We’d like to make sure the resources on-island are used to the best capacity,”
she said. “We look at high need areas, develop community health plans and cooperate with the facilities there, to leverage
additional federal dollars.”
Judy Caparida, one of MCHC’s
founders, said politics are getting in the
way of Molokai’s needs.
“If [a health care organization] is
going to give us service, that’s that we
need,” she said.
While the first meeting was held to
begin an inventory of Molokai’s health
care options and needs, officials will be
holding the next meeting for more of the
public to join in the discussion. The public
is encouraged to attend the next meeting
on June 1, at Kalanianaole Hall at 6 p.m.
Congratulations to all graduates
class of 2011, especially April and
Sarah. Your years of hard work have
finally paid off and the `ohana at
Kualapu`u Market and Wines and
Spirits wish you the best of luck

rom yoga to proper dieting, cancer awareness and even legal assistance, resources for Molokai’s
senior citizens were on display last
Tuesday morning at Home Pumehana.
Nonprofit organization Hale Mahaolu, which owns Home Pumehana,
was just one of the many organizations
on hand at the ninth annual Senior Fair
to show that free, personal care assistance is available to those who need it.
Kathy Louis, program director at
Hale Mahaolu, said she wants to help
seniors gain the skills to live at home, as
well as help them subsidize their cost of
living as needed.
The Department of Commerce and
Consumer Affairs educated senior citizens
about the risks of being conned for money.
Investor Education Specialist There-
sa Kong Kee answered a variety of questions for concerned kupuna, such as how
to identify fraud. She explained that all
businessmen have to be legally registered
in Hawaii, and said it is a good practice to
ask for proof of registration.
“We really enjoy getting information out to people and seeing how we
can help them,” she said.
Molokai attorney Maria Sullivan,
also attended the fair to let senior citizens know that she is available to assist
them with trusts, health care, wills and
estate planning.
The Molokai Community Health
Center, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Molokai Drugs and the Molokai Police Station
were a few of the other organizations on
hand to make life easier for kupuna.

hildren find it difficult to take
turns and let other children
play with their toys. They
are egocentric. This means that they
view the world from their own perspective, and they are the center of
that world. This is totally normal.
Sharing is a learned behavior. It is
a behavior that pays dividends in
terms of generating positive feelings
of friendships and love.
Even babies begin to get the idea
of the give and take of sharing when
we respond to them as they coo. By
the time a child is two to three years
of age, they make a cognitive breakthrough: they start to understand the
concept of possession. It is because of
this breakthrough, that the concept of
sharing becomes so challenging for
children at this age.
At Tutu and Me Traveling Preschool, we provide learning areas that
promote cooperation and sharing,
such as the blocks, water and sand
tables. However, because of the “possession breakthrough” of toddlers,
we often supply at least two of a few
popular toys at the sand, water and
block areas. Most children don’t start
to willingly see the pay off of sharing
until around age four to six.
mission to play with it.
• At preschool, take advantage of opportunities to help your keiki negotiate, sharing and taking turns.
Observe and be ready to help by
offering words of encouragement
and direction when needed.
•When your keiki is pulling on a
toy at preschool, try to redirect
them by offering another toy. Let
them know that they will have
a turn next. Be sure to follow
through on your promise.
•At home, put the toy in “time out”
if your children are unable to take
turns or share.
•If other children are coming to
visit your home, discuss with
your child beforehand the toys
that they is willing to share with
the visitors. Put away the toys
that they is unwilling to share. If
your child is under two years of
age, it is probably a good idea to
put away that special toy before
the visitors come.
Remember, sharing is a learned
behavior that young children have to
be taught. As they mature, they willingly learn to share and reap the rewards of love and friendships.

n May 14, 2011, two distinguished teachers, Greta Martinez and Diane Abraham
from Kualapu`u School, escorted
their students to Maui to receive
awards for their submissions to the
annual International Peace Poem
Contest. What they didn’t know
was that Greta Martinez, the school
librarian, would also receive her own
award, Teacher of the Year, from the
Mayor’s office and the International
Peace Poem Project.
Greta remarked, “It was very unexpected” when she received handcrafted jewelry from a Maui artist
alongside her award. Greta was the
only teacher in the county to submit
poems in `Olelo Hawaii, written by students in Kula Kaiapuni o Kualapu`u.
She and Diane also submitted several
prize winning English language poems. Greta added her own poem, in
Spanish, to the large scroll of peace poems. Congratulations Diane and Greta
for a job well done!

Talking Tomatoes
Part two
By Glenn Teves, UH County Extension Agent
T
omato has more than its share of
pests – starting with leaf miners,
they are small fly maggots that
feed between the upper and lower layer of the leaf, making meandering lines
that are more cosmetic than damaging.
Predacious wasps will control it, but
spraying with a broad spectrum pesticide will kill the good guys and flare up
the leaf miners to the point where they
can knock out most of the lower leaves.
Russet mites are microscopic and
look like a teardrop. They cause a
bronzing of the stem and will slowly
progress up the stem, turning the lower
leaves yellow. At first indication, spraying with sulfur can easily control it.
Sulfur will also control red spider mites
which can be especially troublesome
in wind protected areas. They cause a
cupping of the leaf, and yellow specks
on the leaves, and occur on the undersides of leaves.
The corn earworm, also called the
tomato fruit worm, can cause major
damage by making large holes in fruits,
especially if corn is grown nearby.
Spraying with Dipel and other compounds containing Bacillus thurengiensis, a naturally occurring fungus, at
the first sign of them will control them.
The tomato pinworm will lay its
eggs at the base of the calyx attached to
the stem end of the fruit, and will burrow into the fruit, rotting them. It is difficult to control, even with pesticides,
and tomato producers use pheromone
twisters placed near plants. These
twisters contain hormones synthesized
from the female pinworm, and will
overwhelm the male pinworm to the
point where they can’t find the female

pinworm, disrupting mating activities.
Female fruit flies, especially the
melon fly, are a major problem because
they lay their eggs in the fruit, which
rot fruits. The use of GF120, a natural occurring pesticide created from a
fungus, Spinosad, mixed with a yeastbased attractant will control fruit flies.
Sprayed on nearby trap crops/windbreaks such as in concentrated spots,
fruit flies are attracted to the yeast compounds and killed when they come in
contact with this toxin. All of these pest
control methods are considered organic and low impact on the environment
and non-target organisms.
In choosing the right variety of
tomato to grow, find one with at least
resistance to root-knot nematodes, including large-fruited bush types Celebrity, Anahu, Healani, Kewalo, Empire,
Sanibel, First Blush, Quali-T23, Mountain Fresh Plus, and others. For romas,
Puebla, Sunoma, Yaqui, Huichol, Hybrid 882, Cordova, Super Marzano,
and Hybrid 46 are resistant. Resistant
grape and cherries include Sweet Chelsea, Sweet Million, Sweet Quartz, Small
Fry, Apero, Favorita, Red Grape, Golden Sweet, Sugary, Jolly, and Chiquita.
Bush types are more wind tolerant and
a good choice for the home garden, but
it’s also good to have a few indeterminate cherry or grape types growing in
the corner of your garden for a steady
supply of little tomatoes.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Weaseling out of things is
important to learn,” said cartoon anti-hero Homer Simpson. “It’s what separates us from the animals -- except the
weasel.” I normally don’t share that sentiment. My standard advice is to face up to challenging situations and take
responsibility for the part you played in creating them. But
I’m going to rebel against my custom this week and endorse Homer’s approach, Aries. You may be on the verge of
getting sucked into a mess that you had virtually no role
in creating. Either that, or you’ll be asked to carry out a
mission that is irrelevant to your long-term goals. In either
case, you have cosmic permission to weasel out.

Book of World Records, the longest love letter in history

Veteran’s Corner
Column by Jesse Church
H
ello veterans, old Jesse here
with all the veterans news
and upcoming events. I
would like to remind all veterans that the VA service officer Joe
Thompson will be the veterans center in Kaunakakai on May 27 from 9
a.m. – 1 p.m., if you need help with
a claim. I would also like to remind
everyone of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars Memorial Day program on
May 28 at 9:30 a.m. at the Veterans
Memorial Park in Kaunakakai. The
Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans’ Memorial Day program will be
at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery
on May 30 at 9:30 a.m.
Congresswoman Mazie Hirono
recently introduced a bill (HR 943)
in Congress called K-9 Companion
Corps Act, which would create a federal grant program for the use of assistance dogs by service members and
veterans. Assistance dogs are currently
helping thousands of soldiers and veterans, fighting to overcome physical or
mental health disabilities.
Tim Dyhouse wrote a good article in the April 2011 issue of VFW
magazine, about how the VA hopes
new computer technology, better
business practices and greater employee accountability are going to be
the keys to reducing its claims backlog. The VA wants to eliminate all
pending compensation and pension
claims by 2015, and VA Secretary Eric
Shinseki wants all claims processed
within 125 days at a 98 percent accuracy rate. The backlog results in
average waiting times of 180 days
for new claims, up to four years for
appeals. Asking veterans to wait half
a year or more for a rating decision
that could have a 1-in-3 chance of being incorrect is absolutely unacceptable. So with the VA’s new computer
system, technology developed by
IBM, VA states that the plan has more
than three dozen initiatives, addressing three focus areas, creating a culture of accountability and advocacy
among its employees, re-engineering
its business processes and deploying
leading technology. VA also plans to
roll out its Veterans Benefits Management System, which uses VA’s new
computer system to manage the flow
of paperwork, electronic forms and
correspondence nationwide in 2012.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see if
the plan works.
Tony Dias, president of VA Loans
Hawaii, came to Molokai on May 12
for a free educational seminar for
veterans to learn more about VA benefits, specializing in VA home loans.
Tony and his staff did a terrific job
and we sent them a big mahalo. Tony
has agreed to come back to Molokai
if there are enough interested, so call
the veterans center at 553-8387.
If anyone has any news, stories or
just wants to talk about their experiences
while in service of this great country,
give old Jesse a call at 553-3323, I’d love
to hear from you. A big mahalo to all
our veterans, and the people of Molokai,
you’re the best, I love you all.

Lions Roar
Recognizing mothers and students
By Jackie Cushman
Y
ou support us and we give it
right back! On Mother ’s Day,
May 8, the Molokai Lions
Club hosted their annual breakfast at Paddlers Inn. The location
might have changed this year but
the support never wavered. The
food was excellent. Chef Kamuela,
you did yourself proud. Curtis and
Sierra you never stopped moving.
Mahalo to Lions Darlene Heil, Jylyn Stubbs, PJ and Mark Berfield,
Gary Guardino, Rob Stevenson
and Mike Jennings.
On May 18, the Molokai Lions
Club was present at the annual Recognition Ceremony at Molokai High
School. Since 1999, the Lions Club
has been awarding two $500 service
awards to deserving seniors who
have sustained a commitment to
public service throughout their high
school career. This year ’s recipients
were Kailana Ritte-Camara and Kawena Puhi. These awards and other
events would not be possible without the support of the Molokai community.
The Molokai Lions Club also
supports the Molokai High School
Leo Club. Lion Darlene Heil is the
Lion Liaison working with the Leo
Advisor Julia DeGeorge. Together
they make it possible for the Leo
and Lions to come together, and to
help one another in their community service. Following the award
ceremony on May 18, the Leos had
a lunch for the Lions in Ms. DeGeorge’s room. Mahalo to the Leos
for the great food and to the Lions
who attended.
