Spice, incense substances
now illegal in Hawaii

“You can get a book,
record, or DVD from
any place in Hawaii at
this library. You just go
online and request it -free.”
B
ulgarian national Alexander Dimov, age 33, was arrested on
Molokai two weeks ago under
federal charges of manufacturing and
distributing synthetic cannabinoids,
also known as K2, Spice or incense. Dimov was one of four indicted around
the U.S. in an international conspiracy
for trafficking designer drugs. Dimov
appeared in federal court in Honolulu
before he was transported to Oregon.
According to a Department of Justice
press release, the defendants mixed chemical compounds with herbal exacts, and
marketed the products on the Internet.
They are alleged to have purchased dozens of domain names, such as “k2drugs.
com” and “k2incense.org,” to “obtain a
monopoly on the market for K2,” according to the release.
The investigation, led by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE)
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI),
culminated on May 15 with the execution
of a search warrant of Dimov’s Molokai
residence. The same day, a warehouse of
co-conspirator Ryan Scott in Vancouver,
Washington, was also searched, where
agents seized hundreds of pounds of dried
plant materials, packaging equipment and
chemicals, according to the release.
“With these arrests, HSI has halted
a multi-million dollar business that we
believe was a threat to public health and
safety,” said Brad Bench, acting special
agent in charge of HSI Seattle. “The public

ibraries are not just warehouses for books,” said
Greg Kahn, President of the
Friends of the Molokai Public Library.
“They are experiential.”
After 75 years of operations, many
members of the community have formed
their own special relationships with
Molokai Public Library. For some, it is a
meeting place for the literary-minded, for
others it offers a setting for music and cultural performances, and for everyone, it is
a place to learn something new.
Last week, the library held its 75th
anniversary celebration on the front lawn,
which featured music from local bands,
mele and hula by Ò Hina I Ka Malama
and guest speakers from across the state.
The island’s only library opened on
May 21, 1937 and has been listed on the
Hawaii Register of Historic Places for the
past nine years. It was originally located
near the Kaunakakai Wharf, but was lat-
er moved closer into the center of town,
according to library records. It is one of
eight libraries in Maui County and one of
50 in the state of Hawaii.
The head librarian Sri TenCate has
been working at the library for the past 26
years. She was voted State of Hawaii Librarian of the year in 2000.
“We are very proud of this library
and all it has done for this community,”
said Richard Burns, Hawaii State Librarian. “There are changes coming, [including] new laptops, HighTech Academy,
digital and technology literacy training.”
There are a number of other programs that are offered through the library,
including language courses, Microsoft
courses, dance and music courses, according to Kahn. The Friends of the Library,
which he describes as “a support group
for the library,” is open for all to join at a
$1 lifetime membership fee.
“The library is a symbol of our community,” said Kahn. “It is an institutional
place that belongs to us.”

A
bill was signed into law last week
that establishes new regulations
for short-term rentals, also known
as transient vacation rentals, in Maui
County. Short-term rentals have long
been contended on Molokai -- with few
accommodations for visitors, many
homeowners rent their houses on a
short-term basis, even though county
law has prohibited the practice in the
past.
The new law was approved by the
Maui County Council and signed by
Mayor Alan Arakawa last week. Homeowners will still need to submit applications for a permit to operate a short-term
rental, but the law establishes ground
rules designed to protect neighboring
residents from noise.
Arakawa said the bill was “a long
time coming,” adding that it has “been
in the works for about 15 or 20 years
now.”
“This legislation should protect our
residents from noisy rental operations

On Saturday morning, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) held a service at Memorial

year. Guests paid their respects to those passed by planting flags in front of the
monument inscribed with names of soldiers lost in World War II, the Korean War and

should be aware that these synthetic drugs
are just as dangerous, and now just as illegal, as similar controlled substances.”
Dimov and other defendants face
a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of $1 million. They are also
charged with illegal importation, smuggling, distributing misbranded drugs, and
money laundering. Trial is set for July 10 in
U.S. District Court.
As of Friday, additional information
about Dimov’s presence on Molokai was
not yet released by federal authorities, and
the Molokai Police Department, which assisted in the arrest, had no comment.
New Laws Made Drug Illegal
The indictment comes soon after both
federal and state authorities have taken
emergency action to make various strains
of chemicals used in the production of synthetic cannabinoids illegal in March. The
U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) restricted five chemicals by naming
them in a category of drugs with the highest level of potential abuse.
On April 19, Gov. Neil Abercrombie
signed Act 29 into Hawaii state law, which
controls the entire family of drugs, not only
the five named by federal law, according to
Keith Kamita, state deputy director for law
enforcement and public safety.
Kamita said the action was taken because over 100 variations of the substance
exist, and every time a particular chemical
is banned, another variation is produced.
“We were always playing catch-up,”
he said. “Right now, almost everything is
[illegal].”
Before the substance was made illegal, it was being sold as herbal incense
on Molokai, causing concern among some
high school parents and teachers, who
believed students may be using the drug.
While many products are labeled “not for
human consumption,” abuse of the substance is “an imminent hazard to the public
safety,” according to the DEA.
Spice and related substances have
been known to produce paranoia, panic
attacks, giddiness, seizures, hallucinations
and vomiting, along with increased blood
pressure and heart rate. Across the U.S., the
number of calls to poison control centers
related to the drug has doubled in the past
year, according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers.

Suzette Parraga-Kahana will be
representing Molokai this year
at the upcoming Mrs. Hawaii Filipina
Scholarship & Charity Pageant, a statewide competition held every year to
raise scholarship funds for Filipino
youth. This year’s pageant will take
place on Oahu July 13.
Earlier this year, members of the
Molokai Filipino Community Council, a subsidiary of the United Filipino
Council of Hawaii (UFCH), asked Parraga-Kahana to represent Molokai in
this year’s pageant. Her participation
would qualify youths of Filipino descent from Molokai to apply for scholarships through the UFCH, said Parraga-Kahana.
“I’m really excited to do this because it is my opportunity to give back
to my community and help the youth of
Molokai,” she said.
The Kauai native is no stranger to
the pageantry business. Before moving
to Molokai seven years ago Parraga-Kahana participated in multiple pageants,
even securing the Ms. Latina Hawaii title in 1980. On Molokai, she started her
own beauty salon, Dezigns by Suzette.
There are three main components
of the competition –a judges’ interview,
a traditional Filipina evening gown, or
terno, fashion show and a talent portion.
“Suzette has a lot of background
with pageantry because she has actu-

while at the same time allowing legitimate rentals a way to conduct their business,” said Arakawa.
Previously, only two Molokai homeowners successfully went through the
lengthy process to obtain a conditional
use permit through the Molokai Planning
Commission (MoPC) to legalize their operation.
Last year, when a draft of the new
bill came before the MoPC for review,
commissioners voted to recommend that
the County Council pass the bill with a
clause excepting Molokai from the new
regulations. They said the bill was in opposition with the current Molokai Community Plan, and existing infrastructure did not exist to support additional
short-term rentals. Lack of enforcement
on Molokai was a particular concern for
commissioners.
The new law does include Molokai.
And while county spokesperson Rod An-

ally coordinated a lot of the state pageants like Ms. Hawaii Filipina and she
knows the ins and outs of the pageants
already,” said Yolanda Reyes, President
of the Molokai Filipino Club. Reyes
said that there have not been any participants from Molokai in the Mrs. Hawaii Filipina pageant for many years.
“We are very proud of her and I
think she will represent Molokai very
well,” said Reyes.
The pageant is open to married, divorced, legally separated or widowed
females of Filipino ancestry between
the ages 21 to 65. No prior pageant experience is necessary to participate.
Parraga-Kahana said she is still
looking for sponsorship from the community. To support her or the Mrs. Hawaii Filipina Pageant, call 553-5812.
tone said the budget includes funding
to hire more inspectors to enforce shortterm rental regulations, enforcement on
Molokai will continue to be a complaintbased process, he said.
Unlike the already-legalized bed
and breakfast operations, which require
the owner to live on the property, shortterm rentals manager are not mandated
to live on-site. However, the new law
does require them to live within 30 miles
of the rental and respond to any complaints within one hour.
Other new regulations include quiet
hours for short-term renters from 9 p.m.
to 8 a.m., provision for all units to have
off-street parking, a 4-foot-square sign on
display to inform neighbors that a residence is a short-term rental applicant and
the requirement to inform all neighbors
within 500 feet that an application has
been submitted for a short-term rental
operation.
The county Planning Department
asks the public not to submit applications
for short-term rentals until after June 1,
in preparation for what the department
anticipates to be a flood of applications.

Opinion by Mercy Ritte
What is a GMO?
In simple terms, a GMO, or Genetically Modified Organism, is an organism that
has been changed by injecting it with genetic material from another species. Commonly known GM foods include corn, soybeans, canola and cottonseed.
Are GMOs safe?
Let’s just say that according to Nongmoproject.org, 30 countries around the
world, including Australia, Japan, and all
of the countries in the European Union,
have set major restrictions or banned the
production of GMOs, because they have
not been proven safe.
A study performed on rats fed Monsanto’s Bt corn for 90 days resulted in
“significant changes in their blood cells,
livers, and kidneys, which might indicate
disease,” according to Jeffery Smith, author
of “Genetic Roulette: The Documented
Health Risks of Genetically Engineered
Food.” In 2003, approximately 100 people
living next to a Bt cornfield in the Philippines developed skin, respiratory, intestinal
reactions, and other symptoms while the
corn was shedding pollen. Also interesting to know is that “when given a choice,
several animals avoided eating genetically
modified food,” noted Smith.
How can I avoid GMOs?
The main thing is to know what
to look for. For about two weeks now, a
Non-GMO Shopping Guide has been circulating through out the community. The
purpose of this guide is to help individuals and families identify and avoid GMO
ingredients. Begin by paying attention to
food labels especially products that do not
specify certified organic or non-gmo. More
importantly educate your children and
get them involved. See if they can identify
GMO ingredients while shopping together.
If you have not received a ‘Non-GMO
Shopping Guide’ and would like one for
yourself please email [email protected]. I would be more than happy to
mail or bring it to you.
To learn more, check out nongmoproject.com and organicitsworthit.org.
GMO-free recipe: Avocado Sandwich,
shared by Keoki Gandeza
Ingredients:

1 T of Non-GMO Original Vegenaise
(found at the Outpost)
3 slices of Locally Grown Avocado
2 pieces of Kumu Farms Certified Organic
Lettuce
2 slices of Locally Grown Roma Tomato
Directions:
If you prefer your sandwich with a little crisp, pop it into a toaster or if you’re like
me and you don’t own a toaster, place in a
cast-iron pan and toast it on the stovetop.
When both pieces are nicely toasted, spread
1 T of vegenaise on each slice of whole
grain bread. Next, layer 3 slices of avocado,
2 pieces of lettuce and 2 slices of roma tomatoes on one slice of bread. Close your
sandwich with the other slice and enjoy!

Tech Show Success
By Catherine Aki
The first annual Tech Show at
Kualapuù School was a success for everyone. The families of 35 students and a
total of 142 people attended to view video
projects and watched as students received
awards. The awards were given out based
upon peer review. Students created and
choose the best projects based upon a rubric that evaluates their use of pictures,
voice narrations, timing, use of music,
titles with transitions and organization.
They began these projects at the beginning
of the year. This year we were able to set
up enough computers so that students
could show their parents their projects. As
each student received their award, their
video project was played for the crowd’s
enjoyment. This year three Nooks were
given out as prizes. Evelyn Haase was
third place, Leelan Corpuz was second
place and Maile Sasada was first place
winner with an additional prize of a $50
gift certificate from Friendly Market.

Electric Rates to Increase Community Contributed
DARE to be Drug Free
June 1
A
coming rate increase for Maui
Electric Company (MECO) customers will mean a 3.16 percent
for ratepayers in Maui County. That
means a typical Molokai household using 400 kilowatt hours of electricity per
month will pay an extra $5.25 on their
monthly bill, for a total of about $193.
The interim rate increase was approved last week by the Hawaii Public
Utilities Commission (PUC). The rate
increase is effective June 1.
Originally in July 2011, MECO filed
for a 6.7 percent increase, but months of
review and discussions with the state
Division of Consumer Advocacy culminated in this interim agreement. The
PUC will continue to review details of
the original request and issue a final
decision. If a lower final increase is approved, the difference will be refunded
to customers with interest, according to
a MECO press release.
MECO says the rate increase will
help fund maintenance costs of the system and integrate additional technology to support future renewable energy
integration. The increase will also help
pay for more than $80 million in investments including improvements to generation facilities on Maui, Lanai and
Molokai to increase efficiency, improve
service reliability and help to reduce
emissions, according to the release.
Other facility upgrades will take
place on Maui, such as installation of
fiber optic equipment at the Maàlaea
Power Plant.

few of today’s popular songs. Many in
attendance were amazed by how well
The Middle School of Rock students
sounded. The talent level was apparent with these students as with every
song, each band member changed to
a different instrument. Greg Gabaylo,
The World’s Fastest Juggler, and Jordan
Segundo, Hawaii’s first American Idol,
followed with an amazing display of
juggling and more awesome music.
The fifth graders here on Molokai
were instructed to write a DARE essay
and create a DARE poster. One essay
and one poster were chosen as winners
and announced at the DARE Rally and
presented with prizes.
The winner for the DARE essay
this year was Tehya Almazan of Mrs.
Yuen’s fifth grade class at Kaunakakai
Elementary School. Teyha wrote a great
essay full of health facts and reasons
why she has chosen to be drug, alcohol,
and violence free.
The winner for the DARE poster this
year was Kelsey Bicoy Juario of Mrs. Espaniola’s 5th grade class at Maunaloa Elementary School. Kelsey created a beautiful poster showing how choices you
make in life will determine what kind of
life you will lead. Kelsey explained that
if you make good smart choices about
drugs and alcohol you will “Stay up, you
live a bright life”. However, if you make
bad choices “You go down, you live a
dark life”. A huge congratulations goes
out to both Tehya and Kelsey for a job
well done.
Special mahalo to everyone who
selflessly assisted in making this event
possible for our keiki as they so deserved
it. Be safe Molokai, aloha.

STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLAN DEVELOPMENT
NOTICE OF COMMUNITY PUBLIC MEETING
Sponsored by THE STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION DIVISION, and
THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES
As part of the State Historic Preservation planning process the State Historic
Preservation Division invites the community to share their insights and ideas
during the session listed below. Your input will assist to develop the State
Historic Preservation Plan.
Mark your calendars and plan to attend. You will have the opportunity to contribute to topics including: what should be the priorities for historic preservation in the State, in your community? Who should participate in the process?
What resources are available in your community to support historic preservation? What resources are needed?
I learned knowledge and skills
from DARE. Some things I learned
are not to smoke, use drugs, or alcohol. I also learned what is in alcohol,
cigarettes, and other drugs. Also, what
cigarettes, alcohol, and other drugs can
do to you. Also you should always use
your DARE Decision Making Model to
help you say no, always say no.
You should not smoke because it
can harm you and other people. You
can get lung cancer, and breathing
problems. It also can cause you to have
wrinkles, bad breath, dry skin, and yellow teeth. Smoking can be addictive. It
can cause breathing problems to other
people and you. You also shouldn’t
smoke because more that 400,000 people die from smoking each year. Also,
approximately 3,000 non-smoker’s die
each year just by breathing in other peoples smoke. Did you know cigarettes
have more than 200 poisons in it? Also
if someone in your family dies from
smoking before you’re born, or when
you’re and infant, or young, you never
got to meet them, or see them, or hardly
remember them. So don’t smoke. You
shouldn’t drink either because alcohol
can harm you too. It can also affect you
and other people. It can also damage every organ in your body. Did you know
one beer has about as much alcohol as
a glass of wine? Also you can get into
an accident when drunk driving. So it
won’t only hurt you, it will affect the
passenger too. So don’t drink at all.
Don’t use other drugs either, like
marijuana. It can affect you like other
drugs. But marijuana is illegal. It can
cause you to have lung cancer too.
There’s also more tar in marijuana than
in tobacco. It can also be addictive too.
It also affects your brain and body by
having short term memory loss, loss of
concentration, slowness of concentration, and the inability to judge distance,
speed, and reaction.
You should always say no, and use
your DARE Decision Making Model to
help you make a decision too. If someone offers you drugs or alcohol say no.
You should say it with confidence. If
you say it weak, the person asking will
keep asking you. Also if you say no,
walk away. If you stand there the person asking you will keep asking you.
So always say no and walk away. You
should also use your DARE Decision
Making Model to help you make a decision because it can help you make a
good wise decision.
Now here’s a commitment I have
to make about drugs and alcohol. Don’t
do it. It doesn’t only harm you, it will
harm your surroundings, actions, people you love and you. That’s what I
learned from Officer Kaài and DARE!

Will
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Let’s waltz the rumba,”said jazz
musician Fats Waller, suggesting the seemingly impossible mix
of two very different types of dancing.That’s an excellent clue for
you to follow up on, Aries. I suspect that in the coming week you
will have an unusual aptitude for hybridization. You could do
folk dancing and hip-hop moves simultaneously. It will make
sense for you to do the cha-cha as you disco and vice versa.You’ll
have a knack for bringing the spirit of belly dance into the tango,
and for breakdancing while you do the hokey-pokey.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Have you been feeling a warm
fuzzy feeling in your money chakra? I hope so. The cosmos
recently authorized you to receive a fresh flow of what we
might call financial kundalini. Your insight into money matters should be increasing, as well as your ability to attract the
information and influences you need to refine your relationship
with prosperity. It may even be the case that higher levels of
economic luck are operating in your vicinity. I’m not saying you
will strike it rich, but you could definitely strike it richer.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):Your core meditation this week is
OscarWilde’s belief that disobedience is a primal virtue. Be ingeniously, pragmatically, and cheerfully disobedient, Gemini! Harness your disobedience so that it generates outbreaks of creative
transformation that improve your life. For inspiration, read this
passage by Robert AntonWilson:“Every fact of science was once
damned. Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic
innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web
of culture and progress, everything on earth that is man-made
and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of
someone’s refusal to bow to Authority. We would be no more
than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious,
the recalcitrant, and the intransigent.”
CANCER (June 21-July 22):“Some people tell me I’d invented the sounds they called soul,”said musician Ray Charles, “but
I can’t take any credit. Soul is just the way black folk sing when
they leave themselves alone.”I urge you to experiment with this
idea, Cancerian. In my astrological opinion, you need to whip up
a fresh, hot delivery of raw soul. One of the best ways to do that
might be to leave yourself alone. In other words, don’t badger
yourself. Don’t pick your scabs and second-guess your enthusiasms and argue yourself into a knot. Create a nice big space for
your original self to play in.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Where’s the most convenient place
to discover a new species?” asks The Second Book of General
Ignorance. What do you think the answer is, Leo? The Amazon Rainforest? The high mountainous forests of New Guinea?
Northwest Siberia? None of the above. In fact, your best chance
of finding a previously unidentified life form is in your own garden.There are hundreds of thousands of species that science still
has no knowledge of, and quite a few of them are near you. A
similar principle currently holds true for your life in general. It will
be close to home that you are most likely to connect with fascinating exotica, unknown influences, and far-out adventures.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Now and then my readers try to
bribe me. “I’ll give you $1,000,”said a recent email from a Virgo
woman,“if you will write a sequence of horoscopes that predict
I’ll get the dream job I’m aiming for, which will in turn make me
so attractive to the guy I’m pursuing that he will beg to worship
me.”My first impulse was to reply,“That’s all you’re willing to pay
for a prophecy of two events that will supercharge your happiness and change your life?” But in the end, as always, I flatly
turned her down. The truth is, I report on the music of the
heavenly spheres, but I don’t write the music myself. Still,
I sort of admire this woman’s feisty resolve to manipulate
the fates, and I urge you to borrow some of her ferocity in
the coming week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A solar eclipse happens when
the moon passes in front of the sun and blocks much of its light
from reaching our eyes. On a personal level, the metaphorical equivalent is when something obstructs our ability to see
what nourishes us. For example, let’s say you’re in the habit of
enviously comparing your own situation to that of a person you
imagine is better off than you. This may blind you to some of
your actual blessings, and diminish your ability to take full advantage of your own talents. I bring this up, Libra, because you’re
in an especially favorable time to detect any way you might be
under the spell of an eclipse -- and then take dramatic steps to
get out from under it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some secrets will dribble out.
Other secrets will spill forth. Still others may shoot out and
explode like fireworks. You won’t be bored by this week’s revelations, Scorpio. People’s camouflage may be exposed, hidden
agendas could be revealed, and not-quite-innocent deceits
might be uncovered. So that’s the weird news. Here’s the good
news: If you maintain a high level of integrity and treat the
brouhaha as good entertainment, you’re likely to capitalize on
the uproar. And that’s your specialty, right?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you go to a psychotherapist, she may coax you to tell stories about what went wrong
in your childhood. Seek a chiropractor’s opinion and he might
inform you that most of your problems have to do with your
spine. Consult a psychic and chances are she will tell you that
you messed up in your past lives and need a karmic cleansing. And if you ask me about what you most need to know, I
might slip you some advice about how to access your untapped
reserves of beauty and intelligence. Here’s the moral of the story,
Sagittarius: Be discerning as you ask for feedback and mirroring.
The information you receive will always be skewed.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The state of Kansas has a law
that seems more confusing than helpful. It says the following:
“When two trains approach each other at a crossing, both shall
come to a full stop and neither shall start up again until the other
has gone.”From what I can tell, Capricorn, a similar situation has
cropped up in your life.Two parties are in a stalemate, each waiting for the other to make the first move. At this rate, nothing will
ever happen. May I suggest that you take the initiative?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Should you get down on your
knees and beg for love and recognition? No! Should you give
yourself away without seeking much in return? Don’t do that,
either. Should you try to please everyone in an attempt to be
popular? Definitely not. Should you dilute your truth so as not
to cause a ruckus? I hope not. So then what am I suggesting
you should do? Ask the following question about every possibility that comes before you: “Will this help me to master myself,
deepen my commitment to what I want most, and gain more
freedom?”
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do you know why flamingos
have their distinctive orange-pink color? It’s because of the carotene in the shrimp and other food they consume. If they change
their diet, their feathers turn dull grey. That’s a dramatic example
of the adage, “You are what you eat.”Let’s use it as a prompt to
contemplate all the stuff you take into the holy temple of your
body, Pisces. Not just the sandwiches and chocolate bars and alcohol, but also the images, sounds, ideas, emotions, and energy
you get from other people. Is the cumulative effect of all those
things giving you the shape and color and texture you want to
have? If not, this would be a good time to adjust your intake.

Aunty’s Corner
News to Know
By Barbara Haliniak
In 10 short months, the current
Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) badges are
set to expire. You will need one
of these badges to gain unescorted
access to secure areas of Maritime
Transportation Security Act (MTSA)
regulated facilities and vessels, including Kaunakakai Port.
Many of you remember in 2008
when obtaining a TWIC badge, we
were going to be forced to travel to
either Oahu or Maui to obtain one
at the cost of hundreds of dollars
in travel. When we found out that
Lockheed Martin was the contractor,
it took a lot of coordination by me as
president of the Molokai Chamber
of Commerce to get Lockheed Martin’s management to agree to come
to Molokai. That meant Lockheed
Martin had to setup a temporary facility here on island in order to save
the thousands of dollars Molokai’s
businesses would have incurred if
they sent their employees off island.
Remember also the time it took
to fill out several forms, answer
questions, subjected to FBI checks,
fingerprinted and the mug shot? All
in all, we had to endure three separate days staggered among three
By Kathy “Kapua” Templeton
months to get the TWIC badges in
our hands. I tried to use the badge at
the airport TSA checkpoint, however
the agents refused to accept it. Why,
when the back of the badge states “If
found, please mail to: TWIC/TSA
19, 601 S. 12th Street, Arlington, VA
22202?” That does not make sense!
But then, there are other government
rules or laws that do not make sense.
Per badge cost was $132.50.
The information below is posted on the website tsa.gov.
What is the renewal process?
The renewal process consists of the
same steps as the original enrollment
process. These steps are required
since a security threat assessment is
required on all applicants, confirming they still meet requirements.
What should I take into account
when applying for a renewal? Individuals should take into account
the expiration date of their previous
TWIC and understand that the expiration date associated with their “renewal” TWIC is tied to the security
threat assessment performed for the
(renewal) application.
Locations to get the TWIC
badge renewal is also posted on the
website. Unfortunately, Molokai is
not listed as one of the renewal sites.
Aloha, Aunty
here. Auwe, auwe,
Grace Carlton has
passed away. Her
passing will leave
a hole in my heart,
but I know we’ll
meet again. She
was so active in the
community. I can’t
list them all. I will
miss her stories of growing up and how
her mother influenced her life. She and I
would talk about forgiveness and helped
me to see that that forgiveness is better
than anger.
I have a question for you all. Do any
of you remember during World War II
when you went to buy your food, you
had to also buy eggplant because there
were so many eggplant here? Inquiring
minds want to know. Please call me at
The Molokai Dispatch and let me know.
I’ll print the whole story when I find out.
I must tell you about the two women who work the food part of Manaè
Goods and Grindz. They are so gracious
to an old tutu and I look forward to talking with them. I think how wonderful it
is to have a grocery and a food place on
the east end. Whoa, what a drive just to
get a cup of coffee. Mahalo ladies for your
great smiles and for the cup of water!
I know that we will get tickets for
jaywalking but how about when I stand

Did you go to the library’s 75th

came through and ripped off the tarp. I
was standing in the library and it sounded like a muffled explosion. Everyone
went running out to see people holding
onto the tarp. Fortunately no one was
hurt. If you had to leave early, you missed
the Kahokuloa family that came up and

Hey, if you want to read a funny
detective story read the Stephanie Plum
series by Janet Evanovich. Stephanie is
a bounty hunter working for her cousin
Vinnie in the bail-bond recovery business. She’s in love with Joe Morelli and
“Ranger” Manoso. I laugh until I have
tears running down my face when I read
her books. If you like lady detectives and
a great chuckle try the series out.
I’ll leave you with this: as seen on a
bumper sticker on Maui, “Hurry up, this
isn’t Molokai.”

Veteran’s Corner
Column by Jesse Church
Aloha my fellow
veterans and residents
of Molokai, old Jesse
here with all the veterans news and upcoming events.
Army administration messages
are typed in upper case. Why? Early
teletype machines, which the military
started using in the 1850s, were made
up of only three rows of keys and did
not allow for lowercase letters. Morse
code made transmitting messages
even faster, but still didn’t distinguish
between upper and lowercase. While
it might have been necessary to transmit all uppercase messages in the past,
it’s arguably a hindrance today. A typograph study from the 1950s at the
University of Minnesota showed reading speeds slowed by about 14 percent
when reading all-caps messages over
a 20 minute period. Army messages
aren’t the only ones that continue to
use all caps. The National Weather
Service weather alerts are also all caps.
According to the service’s website, the
World Meteorological Organization
sets guidelines for all nations so those
that still use low-tech methods to receive messages in all uppercase don’t
have problems receiving them.
Veterans’ treatment courts -- special courts for when veterans with
mental or behavioral problems break
the law -- are a growing phenomenon,
now operating in 88 locations around
the country. They are designed to help
veterans stay out of jail by offering rehabilitation, vocational and education
programs rather than prison sentences
for nonviolent offenses. The National
Association of Drug Court Profession-
als predicts that by the end of 2012, the
number of veterans’ treatment courts
nationwide will hit 120. The Veterans
Affairs Department’s Justice Outreach
program works closely with the courts
which operate within states criminal
court systems, to provide treatment
programs as well as housing and other
services. Both the veteran and the community are better served by treating
the veteran’s mental illness rather than
incarcerating him or her, said Homeless Veterans Program Coordinator
Sean Clark.
I’d like to thank everyone who
came out for the two Memorial Day
Programs, one by the VFW Post 3870
on Saturday, May 26, and one on Memorial Day by the Molokai Veterans
Caring for Veterans. It was very nice to
see the people of Molokai paying homage to the brave men and women who
have made the ultimate sacrifice, and
the men and women that have been
awarded the Purple Heart, for wounds
sustained in combat.
I need to remind everyone that
John Candello, the Veterans Services
Counselor, will be at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs on Thursday, June 7 and
14, from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. by appointment. So if you need to see John, please
call 553-3611 for an appointment.
Again, I would like to thank the
people of Molokai for supporting our
troops stationed around the world,
and especially those men and women
that are in harm’s way. Please join with
me and send them a big mahalo for all
they do for us and to our veterans for
all they have done and to my fellow
people of Molokai for all your support.

Ka Hula Piko Mahalo
In the obituary for Henry Kaipo
Kalawe, printed in the May 23

“Lei ìa Molokai i ke aloha hulu mamo” –
“Molokai wreath in the love of the ancestors.” Indeed, we were surrounded by our
ancestors!
On behalf of Halau Hula O Kukunaokala and Halau Hula O Molokai, we would
like to take this opportunity to give a big
mahalo to everyone that made 2012 Ka Hula
Piko a huge success!
Mahalo to all the students who entered
our first annual Creative Keiki Contest and
to their school principals and teachers who
encouraged them. To the judges, Pua Akaka,
Opuùlani Albino, Dan Bennett, Rob Bento,
Anake Kauwila Reyes and Anake Molly
Tengan, mahalo for taking the time to judge
the entries and we hope to see you all again
next year. To our contest sponsors, American
Income Life and Molokai Community Federal Credit Union, ,ahalo for the monetary
donation of the prizes.
To the merchants who donated so
generously, words cannot express our gratitude! Mahalo to Kualapuù Market, Dana

Reusable Gags Need TLC
With all the recent debate regarding
plastic bags, this is an opportune time to remind shoppers of good sanitation practices
regarding reusable shopping bags.
Repp and Keene reported in the 5/9/12
Journal of Infectious Diseases the first scientific documentation of norovirus transmission via a reusable bag. In October 2010, a
young soccer player who was experiencing norovirus infection symptoms returned
home without rejoining her teammates. She
did leave them packaged food and fresh
grapes that she’d kept in a reusable grocery
bag that was stored in the bathroom she had
used. Vomiting and flushing the toilet produced aerosolized viruses that landed on the
Tech Show
The first annual Tech Show
at Kualapuù School was a success, thanks to the many who
participated and assisted. I would
like to thank the students for coming out and bringing their parents.
Also thank you to all the teachers
who collaborated on these projects in the classroom. Thanks to
Kamalu Poepoe for being our MC
again this year and Loke Han for
being our Hostess and confirm-
bag; touching the contaminated bag transmitted the viruses to their hands, and the
viruses were ingested when the sealed packages were opened and the food eaten. Their
chaperone and seven other soccer players
reported similar symptoms within 72 hours
of returning home.
This report strongly advises users of
reusable grocery bags to wash their bags
regularly to reduce the risk of contamination. The advice is especially important for
Molokai and residents of Maui County, who
frequently use reusable bags after plastic
bags were banned last year.

I would like to take a moment to thank
the many people who have helped me
throughout my life and most especially in
recent months as I prepared myself for life
beyond high school. To my sisters (Wailani,
Oliì, Tiler-Payton, Tweet) Aunty Titi, brother, mom, grandma, aunties, uncles and the
rest of my ohana and friends, I could never
imagine life without all of you guiding me
through some of life’s most difficult and
greatest moments. To my teachers, counselors, coaches, Queen Liliuokalani Children’s
Center, Shirley Rawlins, Cookie Helm,

and everyone else who have shine light on
my future! To my closest mentors, Aunty
Kim, Mr. Helm and Anake, you have always believed in me and my potential to
do amazing things. You are my role models
in life and there are not enough words to
express my love for you.
To my dad, Edward Leroy Hernandez, I am who I am today because of your
tough love, your hard work and your nurturing ways. You have always kept me safe
and given me the wings to fly. My successes are yours too! I love you dad always and
forever!
