‘Ike Papala
The Living Legacy
of Hawaiian Hats
Article and photos by Anne E. O’Malley
With a $40,000 Folk and Traditional Arts grant award from the
National Endowment for the Arts, a hui comprised of Bishop
Museum, Michigan State University Museum, and the UH Manoa
Hawai‘inuiakea School of Hawaiian Knowledge is collecting and
recording stories of Hawaiian weaving traditions with emphasis
on papale, or hat making. As well, the Bishop Museum is using
its display of woven materials and tools and those of other private collections in the sharing process.
Kaua‘i weavers met and shared with others at the Grove Farm
Homestead Museum, recording methods and stories about
many styles of papale and more. “The hope for this day,” said
Marques Hanalei Marzan, cultural resource specialist with Bishop Museum,
the institution administering the grant,
“is to reach out to families and kupuna
who have this knowledge.”

Calipjo
For KIUC Board of Directors
Imagine a future where:
• We can generate 50 percent of our energy from renewable resources
• Kauai’s power system is one of the greenest in America
• Our electricity rates are stable and not dictated by the volatile price of foreign oil
With good planning and your help and support, we can do it
This is the future I want to be a part of
Aloha! I’m Lesther Calipjo, a candidate for KIUC Board of Directors.
Like other business owners and residents of Kauai, I have seen my electric
bill soar with the increase in oil prices. I worry that we are too dependent on
foreign oil. Let’s ease our dependency on foreign oil and focus on stabilizing
the rising cost of our energy bills. I support the development and funding of
our renewable and alternative energy projects.
Let’s continue to explore the use of biomass, hydro power and other alternatives and still be sensitive to our aina. I would like to see more photo voltaic
systems installed on businesses and solar heating on homes. Increased use
of CLEAN alternative energy will be betterment to the future of Kauai, the
future of our families and the generations beyond us.
I want to be part of the team that will listen and work hard of you. I am a
businessman with over 20 years of experience operating a business on Kauai. I
presently serve on various community boards, associations and non-profits in a
leadership role where tough decisions are made for the benefit of all.
I have the skills, enthusiasm and passion to fulfill the obligations and
responsibilities you expect from a Trusted Board Member.
To be a part of that team that will listen and work hard for you will be an
honor.
I humbly ask that you cast one of your votes for me, Lesther Calipjo.
Thank you!!!

Koloa Camp
A Neighborhood in Change
by Joan Conrow
Ask folks what they
like most about living
in Koloa Camp, and
they’ll answer without
hesitation: the tightknit community.
They also speak
about the sense of history, and of place, that
comes from living in
century-old
homes
that previously housed
Japanese field workers on the first sugar
plantation in Hawai‘i.
As they see it, the
boxy,
metal-roofed
relics from a bygone
era do more than provide shelter. They also
reflect a local lifestyle
that is fast disappearing on Kaua‘i.
So when Koloa Camp

Koloa Camp
One Family’s Story
by Anne E. O’Malley
John Kruse, 68, lives
with his son Kepa,
29, in Japanese Camp
C—Koloa Camp—in
a rental unit owned
by Grove Farm Land
Company, Inc. John’s
been a resident there
for 32 years; when
Kepa was born, John
planted his umbilical
cord beneath the keiki
Norfolk pine outside
the house—a tree now
easily 40 feet tall and
thriving.
Others lived in the
house prior to the
Kruse family. By Kepa’s reckoning, it’s 100
years old or close to
it. John says the rent
was
$27.50/month
when the prior tenant,
Hanao Gushiken lived
there.
Says John, “When
we moved here, they
moved the decimal
poInt over and we paid
$275 a month until
Hurricane ‘Iwa. The
rent went steadily up.
We pay $575 a month
now”
By day, John works
in the real property
office for the county,
creating and mapping
subdivisions that the
planning department
approves.
He was in the original crew of the Hokulea, sailing to Tahiti in
1976, and he volunteers
his labor on that canoe
still, traveling back
and forth to O‘ahu, as
the Polynesian Voyaging Society prepares
the Hokulea for potential future voyages.
On Kaua‘i, John
drew the plans 12 years
ago for this island’s
sailing canoe, Namahoe. It is still under
construction by volunteers, and three times
a week, John spends
time helping to make
it seaworthy.
Kepa attended and
graduated from Kamehameha Schools,
working for them as a
technical consultant,
helping to maintain
their computer network. He attended UH
Kepa Kruse on the lanai of his family home. Photo by Keri Cooper
Manoa and left to work
as a model and actor,
moving to Los Angeles
to pursue his career.
A three-time national surfing champion and winner of a
Na Hoku Hanohano
Award for his CD,
“Coconut Wireless,”
Kepa moved back
home last fall when he
learned about the eviction notice.
“Nothing I do in Los
Angeles matters if I
can’t come home and
be with my family,”
says Kepa.
When he says family,
he includes his own as
well as the seven other
families that still live
in houses along the
same road. They help
and lookout for each
other, mowing lawns,
taking out trash and
more.
Koloa Camp residents and ag lessees
want nothing more
than to remain in and
with the camp—forever. It’s historic, they
say, and they developed a plan to buy the
land from Grove Farm
and with the help of
someone experienced
in a similar kind of
development, make it
into a thriving community that hews to
cultural and historical
traditions.
That plan’s been denied.
Says Kepa, “Is this
Father and son John and Kepa Kruse in front of their rental home in Koloa Camp. Photo by Keri Cooper
12 acres of historical
camp the only place to
build? It’s a sad day in
Koloa Camp, but spirits are strong.
“Our goal would be
to use new technology
available to take this
community into the
future, with solar and
community gardens,”
he continues.
He and community members envision planting numerous trees—some in
the area are easily 80
to 100 years old and
residents say they’ll be
razed along with the
existing houses under
the company’s plans.
Trees are important, they say, because
they’d provide a massive root system to
hold back the Waihohonu Stream that
floods in heavy rains.
One of the mitigations
Grove Farm plans, according to Kepa, is
raising the area under
development with over
8,000 cubic yards of
fill. But how will they
stop it from flooding
the ballpark, he asks.
Raising other considerations such as
the habitat of the endangered native water
bird, the Koloa Duck,
and the changing
character of the neighborhood when 50 units
go up, the tiny town is
in a tizzy.
Says Kepa, “If you
read the Grove Farm
website, they say in
their mission statement that they’re making sure to preserve the
historic linkage with
the past. That’s not the
case now. It seems the
values have been lost.
“Worldwide, there’s
a huge cry for a changing of the guard and a
way for young people
to become empowered and take charge
of their futures by doing good in their communities. If anything,
this gives me the opportunity to use the
resources I’ve gained
for a greater good.”
Viewing the challenge in another way,
Kepa says, “This community is like an old
canoe; all the residents
are the ones pushing it
forward and it begs the
question, ‘Is this canoe
too old to sail into the
future?’
“I don’t think so. I
think if you destroy
something like this,
you’re going to miss
out on your history,
and to learn about
where you’re going,
it’s really important to
know where you came
from.”

tural lots. They’ve been
given until March 8 to

Camp residents began meeting every
Sunday afternoon in
the canoe hale that is
also slated for demolition, and soon word
of their plight spread
to all points of the island. Folks showing
their support for the
residents packed the
Koloa Neighborhood
Center for meetings in
December and January, when Grove Farm
representatives
detailed the company’s
plans to develop Waihohonu, named after
the stream that flows
near the camp.
Groundbreaking is
scheduled for April,
with construction expected to take about
three years. Company
officials said the project would provide affordable homes that
are in big demand on
Kaua‘i.
Though Grove Farm
offered to give Koloa
Camp tenants the first
chance to buy—the
two- and three-bedroom houses range
from 800 to 1,300
square feet and are
tentatively priced at
$230,00 to $485,000—
residents said they
couldn’t qualify for
loans at those prices.
But mostly, they
didn’t want to see their

who felt like family.
“It’s historically relevant and a valuable
asset to this community,” says Kepa Kruse,
who grew up in the
camp. “It’s what makes
it Old Koloa Town.”
Eager to find an alternative, camp residents suggested the
company instead build
on land it owns on
nearby Ala Kinoiki
Road. But Grove Farm
rejected the idea, saying the 6.5-acre proposed site was about
half the size of Koloa
Camp. Furthermore,
it would take extensive
time and money to
change the zoning of
the land from agriculture to residential.
Residents were beginning to get discouraged when developer

earthen-walled shelters to muffle the noise.
How times have
changed. Today, many
of those same remote
locations are outfitted
with a roof-load of solar panels and a small
bank of batteries. And
everything runs clean
and quiet; no stinking
fuel hauling required.
In many ways, our
electric utilities are
moving in the same direction. For all sorts of
good reasons—climate
change, toxic emissions, potential supply disruptions, wild
fuel price swings—we
are moving away from
petroleum-fired power
and seeking solutions
that are quieter, cleaner and greener.
I write this acknowledging a personal conflict. I sit on the elected
board of the Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative. My seat is not up
this year, but it is an
election year and three
of the utility’s nine
board seats are up for
member votes.
Anyone who gets an
electric bill will get a
ballot this month—
about the time you
get this issue of For
Kaua‘i. I encourage you to vote. If a
green energy future,
one with reduced reliance on imported oil
and one that leaves
more money in your
pocket, is important
to you, there is no better action than to elect
someone who will help
you make a difference.
Please study the candidates and choose three
who will help move
us forward into a progressive energy future.
There is no doubt
that KIUC is already
moving aggressively
toward our greener energy future, and moving in that direction
faster than most other
electric utilities. Note
our aggressive solar
photovoltaic
initiatives, our hydroelectric
power research, our
measure to modern-
ize our grid for both
cost and efficiency
improvements, and—
although we are criticized about it—our
level of community involvement.
It used to be accepted that renewable
energy was more expensive than oil-fired
power. However, several of Kaua‘i’s energy
projects will produce
power cheaper than
the stuff that comes
out of a diesel generator. We’re a cooperative, so that savings
doesn’t end up with
a stockholder somewhere else. It will end
up as lower rates or as
checks we send out to
our members.
And if we manage it
correctly, managing a
complex interplay of
supply and demand
management,
with
such features as battery backup and our
advanced metering infrastructure, we should
do it without threatening KIUC’s leadership
as the Hawai‘i utility
with the best system
reliability.
I remember visiting
a small island in the
South Pacific, where
the lights went out
right after dinner, because they turned off
the generator to save
fuel. We sat, drinking
cheap Algerian wine
by starlight, listening to the distant surf
breaking. Which isn’t a
bad thing when you’re
on vacation, but can be
annoying in real life.
Listen to the candidates, and once you
identify the voices that
make sense to you,
please vote.

Planet M: Millicent Cummings Xpresses Herself
by Anne E. O’Malley
Millicent Cummings
is a heady cocktail, a
free spirit, and a dizzying ride on her internal
planet. Like doctors
without borders, she is
M without boundaries,
continually
adding,
redefining, always expanding and expressing her being.
So OK, we’re not
reading about her in
“Huffington Post.” No
biggie. Huge fame and
fabulous fortune mean
nothing to her.
“I was very clear
from an early age that I
was meant to be a great
artist, not just a good
one, but to actually
contribute something
for
to the art world, something of great value,”
says Cummings, who
started life in Utah
and began to truly live
it in New York City, a
city whose heartbeat
still resonates with
hers. “It has taken me
a couple of decades to
get a handle on what
that is.
“Even though I can
say all of the art works
series and projects I’ve
done are valid, it has
taken my entire life to
say what was the contribution, what is it all
about.”
That may sound arrogant she says, but it
doesn’t matter to her
what others think.
KAUAI‘
“I want to be an instrument of healing.
To me, that’s what art
is—a vehicle for selfawareness and for
healing.
“The greatest art
is about realization
and self realization
in terms of becoming
aware how connected
everything is.”

realization and selfrealization in terms of
becoming aware how
connected everything
is.
Her goal is to trick
the mind to get beyond
itself, so for example,
when you’re listening
to her lyrics, you come
to a state of compassion.
She took up guitar at
age 12 and it became,
she says, “my private
diary.”
At 15, theatre performance became her
next passion, although
she suffered from terrible stage fright and
couldn’t remember her
lines, plagued as she
was by nausea, palpitations and traumatic
experiences. She gave
it up.
Thirty years later,
she shook off the fright
with a role in the 2010
Kaua‘i production of
“Vagina Monologues.”
She says, “If I had
only one word to use,
I’d call myself a troubadour. I’m a storyteller using music as the
vehicle for the stories.”
Her most recent
CD, “Compassionate
Heart,” is what she
calls a concept album.
She says there’s a train
of thought throughout
the CD, starting with a
quest in the first three
songs; going to the realization in the next
three songs and in the
final three songs arriving at the manifestation of the realization.
It’s a tough life being the pure artist, she
says, but she’s made the
choice to write what
she’s called to write,

Prince Kuhio Celebration
by Margy Parker
Prince Kuhio Day at Kuhio Park, near birthplace of the Prince. Photo by Anne E. O’Malley
Hawai‘i is the only
state in the U.S. that
has a royal heritage,
and on Kaua‘i, the
birth of a royal prince
here in the 1800s is a
cause for what’s become a two-week celebration. His name is
Prince Jonah Kuhio
Kalanianaole,
and
he’s considered one of
Hawai‘i’s most beloved
monarchs.
Nicknamed the Citizen Prince for his civic
involvements, Prince
Kuhio is also known
for his efforts to revitalize the Native Hawaiian culture during
his lifetime.
The Prince Kuhio
celebration, now in its
10th year, offers an assortment of activities
running from March
11 through 26, with
many of the events taking place at the Grand
Hyatt Kaua‘i Resort
& Spa in Po‘ipu—as
well as a sprinkling of
events in other areas.
Most events are free of
charge, with the intent
being to demonstrate
and perpetuate Native
Hawaiian and local
cultural arts, practices,
and values.
For example, the
festival offers a powerful ancient hula performance by Kane O
Keoneloa, hands-on
native Hawaiian arts
and cultural practices,
a lu‘au, outrigger canoe race, and an international spearfishing
tournament. There’s
more—a youth boxing tournament, international free diving and spearfishing
tournament,
rodeo,
commemorative ceremonies, Hawaiian entertainment—the list
goes on.
Visit online at http://
princekuhio.net

a complete listing of
events. For more information, call Stella
Burgess, director of

culture
and community relations, at 240.6369;

Peter Savio stepped
forward.
He had previously
helped the residents
of Poamoho Camp on
O‘ahu buy their houses
when the Del Monte
pineapple plantation
shut down, and he
thought a similar approach would work in
Koloa.
“I’m here to give
Grove Farm and everyone a way out,” says
Savio, who offered to
buy the camp at its appraised value, which
is currently unknown,
for the purpose of
selling it back to the
residents. “We’re not

or anything less than
the market value. I really would love to see
some of this history
preserved. That’s what
excites me about these
plantation camps.”
Grove Farm, which
did not respond to a
request for comment,
formally rejected Savio’s offer in mid-February.
But Savio, like the
residents he represents,
remains hopeful.
“I believe there’s a lot
of support on Kauai for
saving the camp,” Savio says. “I do not see a
local company strongarming the community when there’s an
option like this.”
Added Kruse: “The
camp residents are not
moving.”
In keeping with
that vow, they’re making plans that center
around staying, not
leaving. They want to
apply for assistance to
preserve the historical
structures, plant trees
to stabilize the stream
banks, create a community garden that
will double as a handson learning place for
sustainable living, and
share their neighborhood with others.
“I see it as a chance
to pass on a community, a historic camp,
an ‘ohana, to the next
generation,” says Koloa resident John Patt.

How did Fontoura’s
life take a walk on the
sweet and frozen confection side of delights?
As a kid, she was
crazy for sweets, keeping bags of candy in
her bed as she read
through the night.
The kiddie sugar-fiend
grew up hankering for
more.
In 2005, while slinging salad and desserts
at the former Sabela’s
Restaurant in Princev-
ille, she began making
vanilla ice cream and
lime sorbet.
“They had a nice
lime tree they were
proud of,” says Fonsee Creamery page 25
Creamery
from page 24
toura of the restaurant
owners.
It became a hobby.
“In 2008, a friend
gave me an ice-cream
maker and I was able
to freeze batch after
batch,” she says. “It
was mostly lilikoi, and
I almost named the
business lilikoi creamery.”
She lived on Powerhouse Road then, and
picked all the fruit she
could around the area.
Three years later, she’s
still keeping her business small scale.
Fontoura says, “I
trade with farmers
at market for things
they’re growing. It
could be mint from a
garden, coconuts, oranges, or chocolate.
And I use coffee from
local coffee shops.
“While flavors vary,
I try to have solid ones
like chocolate ginger
coconut every week,”
she adds.
She’s motivated to
continue making ice
cream and caramels be-
cause, she says, "I like to
make good stuff and see
people happy. It’s great
to see kids enjoy it.
“I like to share with
people what they like
and want. It’s sort of a
happy accident.
“I never really understood I could make
a living out of it. It’s
a satisfying day to be
well received and see
people stoked that I’m
here.”

Backgiveness: A New Alternative To Forgiveness
ISLAND
By Rita Harrison
PSYCHIC
PAST * PRESENT * FUTURE
So what is forgiveness exactly? I’m sure the answer is very individual and that
great souls like the Dalai Lama live forgiveness in a much different way than
you and I.
* Helps in all Problems of Life
* Specializes in Reuniting Loved Ones
* Palm reader & Tarot Psychic
Forgiveness as we usually live it means that I first have made a judgment
towards the person or situation I want to forgive. But: Who am I to judge?
Readings by Cindy
808-634-1349
Consider the possibility of stepping aside from judgment altogether, where
forgiveness is no longer needed, creating an even greater possibility of more
humanity between perpetrator and victim.
Many people feel a pressure to move to forgiveness before a person is ready.
I have clients who have been abused, who are punishing themselves for being
incapable of forgiveness. Victims of abuse, they’ve been hurt and yet they feel
guilty! They’ve taken on a responsibility that should belong to the perpetrator.
What gives them relief is a safe therapeutic space to say out loud what hurt
them most. It is very important to give their suffering a witnessed, rightful place outside of themselves! This is often the first
step in their healing process.

The next step is to give all responsibility for what happened back to the perpetrator. By doing this the perpetrator gets
back the opportunity to take on their own responsibility and regret for what they’ve done – or not. The victim is freed of all
responsibility for the actions and decisions of the other person and gets the possibility to withdraw entirely from the story
and make the best out of their life as it can now unfold. That’s real freedom!

The victim doesn’t have to carry the load, or make the decision to forgive or not. Backgiveness is a place where forgiveness
and judgment are simply not needed.

For those who see abuse from a spiritual point of view this might seem wrong because on a soul level these two souls made
some sort of agreement with each other to grow, but there are different rules on the soul level than there are on the physical
level. Different levels need different understanding and different ways of healing.

When you prematurely tell a victim about an agreement of the soul it might hurt them even more on the physical level. After
completing the physical healing process then this deeper co-creative spiritual truth can emerge from within themselves.

What does your MyPlate look like?
Sally Belles
YOUR GOOD HEALTH
STARTS HERE
Wilcox Memorial Hospital is your Kaua‘i connection
to quality health care and preventive care. From our
new Women’s Center specializing in the early
detection of breast cancer and osteoporosis, to
our free health seminars, we want you to lead a
long, active life.
We also offer a seamless link to our sister
hospitals – Straub Clinic & Hospital, Pali Momi
Medical Center and Kapi‘olani Medical Center
for Women & Children. So when you pick
Wilcox Memorial Hospital, you know you’re
off to a good start.
Ever wonder what a balanced meal
looks like? Courtesy of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, there is
a whole new way to think about
healthy eating. It’s simple, and
it’s called MyPlate. MyPlate represents a nine-inch dinner plate
that reminds Americans how to eat
healthy and choose nutritious foods
and beverages while staying in control of our portion sizes. The symbol
of MyPlate represents the latest dietary guidelines for Americans and
replaces the previous food pyramid.
MyPlate illustrates a balanced meal
divided into the five food groups:
fruits, vegetables, grains, protein
and dairy, using a mealtime place
setting.
How does one build a healthier diet while enjoying our local favorites? The great thing about
MyPlate is that it allows us to incorporate our favorite foods in moderation along with healthier choices. In other words, go ahead and have that teriyaki beef or shoyu chicken but keep your
portion to the size of a deck of cards or one quarter of your plate to avoid overeating. Eating
more fish such as salmon or seared ahi tuna can help increase heart healthy omega 3 fats in
your diet and try substituting plant-based proteins (think tofu) in place of animal proteins.
Another quarter of your plate is reserved for breads, grains and cereals. When selecting your
grains, strive to make half of your grains whole grains such as brown or wild rice, which adds
more nutrition and fiber to your diet.
MyPlate emphasizes the importance of filling half your plate with fruits and vegetables. Select brightly colored vegetables or mix in sliced apples and pears with your salads. Adding
cubes of boiled Okinawa sweet potato or roasted kabocha can make a salad into a filling meal
or side dish.
Calcium and Vitamin D are important for growth and bone health. Although high in calcium,
dairy products such as milk and yogurt can also be high in fat and/or sugar. Select low-fat (1%)
or fat-free dairy products and yogurt without added sugar. A plant-based diet is naturally
lower in total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium and sugar. Compare food labels
and choose foods with the lowest amounts of these nutrients. Prepare or order foods that
are grilled, baked, roasted, steamed and cooked using healthy fats such as olive or canola oil.
Lastly, choose low-calorie beverages that are sugar-free. Water is calorie-free and sugar-free!
Putting a balanced diet and portion control on one plate means you can easily manage your
caloric intake at the same time. Physical activity is also important to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight and reduces your risk for chronic conditions such as high blood pressure,
high cholesterol, diabetes and obesity.
So enjoy your food and raise your glass to a healthy new plate and a healthy new you!

Psoas Power
by Michaelle Edwards
Two of your core
muscles, the psoas—
pronounced “so-as”—
are involved in more
bodily actions than
you can dream of.
As the founder of the
YogAlign®
method
of yoga, as well as a
teacher, bodyworker
and posture therapist,
I have created exercises that will give you
an activated powerful
psoas.
How important are
these muscles, and
why activate them?
Running from an
attachment to the diaphragm, lumbar spine
and discs and on down
to the inner surface
of the femur or upper
leg bone, the psoas are
hip-flexors, initiators
of movement, and pelvic and spine stabilizers, organ supporters,
and receptacles for
your emotions.
Your psoas are also
the only muscles that
connect directly to the
discs in the lumbar
spine, making them an
obvious factor in lower
displacement rooted in
psoas imbalance. The
list of problems involving improperly activated psoas muscles goes
on.
Attached as they are
to the underside of the
diaphragm, the psoas
can be programmed to
enhance your breathStudents come from around the world to study YogAlign® with Michaelle Edwards. She is front left with a

back pain and sciatica.
Also, scoliosis and
short leg syndrome can
develop when one side
of the psoas group is
more contracted than
the other. Feet, knees,
lower back, and even
the neck and shoulders
are all affected by hip
ing process. Thus, activating your psoas,
or your core, can align
your spine and relax
your mind.
By doing exercises
that promote synergy
in the trunk muscles,
you can restore tone
and awareness to your
psoas group. Functional movement, yoga
poses and everyday
sitting need to be done
with psoas awareness.
Effective muscle patterning initiates movement from your psoas.
When you functionally activate the psoas,
your body responds
quickly
and
eas-
ily, leading to a vital,
pain-free and flexible
body—and that’s your
goal.
Michaelle Edwards created the YOGALIGN®
method during the
course of her more than
30 years of personal
yoga practice, 15 years
of teaching yoga, and
performing deep tis-
sue massage for over
20 years as a trained,
licensed massage therapist. Her book, Painfree Yoga From Your
Inner Core is available
