Molokai Schools Celebrate in Style

t is that time of year when Molokai keiki transform from students in T-shirts
to royalty in satin gowns and sashes.
Around here, May Day is known as Lei
Day. And each school presents its own
theme, ranging from the Hawaiian monarchy to the celebration of ancestors.
“It’s a true celebration of the culture,”
said Lisa Takata, student activities coordinator at the high school.
May Day first began in Hawaii in
1928, according to state documents. Poet
Don Blanding suggested a holiday to pay
tribute to the Hawaiian custom of making
and wearing lei – thus becoming Lei Day.
Molokai’s own schools take to the holiday
with enthusiasm, crowning Lei Day kings,
queens, princes and princesses. In doing

so, they perform mele and hula for their
`ohana and community.
The May Day court is normally comprised of ladies-in-waiting, spears men, a
king and queen, and a prince and princess
for every Hawaiian Island. Representatives
don the specific color and often flower of
each island. The court is usually nominated
and voted on by their peers; they are usually seen as role models, said Lani Fawyer,
an educational aid at Kilohana Elementary.
The court offers a few songs to the crowd,
such as the middle school’s court [Photo 3],
singing with their classmates.
Starting in Middle School, the stakes
are a little higher – the queen auditions

week.
All queens have a solo hula, and
Maunaloa Elementary Queen Christine
Rawlins Santiago [Photo 2] danced to `Ohai
Ali`i Kaluhea, performing with all the grace
that befits a queen.
But the queens don’t get all the attention. The whole school takes part in the
festivities – such as King Keoki KealohaKaauwai of Kilohana Elementary [Photo

[Photo 5] sang a mele as a part of their May
Day program, and students at Kualapu`u
School joined together to tell the story of
Kalaupapa and Saint Damien [Photo 1].

L
ast summer,
we conducted
a field trial
to evaluate over 30
varieties of hot chili
peppers. The trial
and field day was
a success – over 50
Glenn I. Teves residents attended,
and many were able
to sample and take home hot peppers. We also conducted the same
trial in Waimanalo about the same
time with similar results. Alton Arakaki and I discussed
two major pests, the
broad mite which
deforms the young
leaves, and the pepper weevil which
drills into the flower
and causes premature flower drop.
The Hawaiian chili
pepper is very late
maturing, and therefore very susceptible
to pepper weevil, and it showed
when all the flowers dropped before
we were able to sample them. Luckily, we were able to analyze Hawaiian chili pepper samples from the
Waimanalo trial for hotness.
Along with Sustainable Agriculture Specialist Ted Radovich and Ag
Technician Faith Tuipulotu, we also
conducted a timed harvest to determine how long it took to harvest different types of peppers – from the .22
bullet Thai pepper to the large Chocolate Habanero. The data shows that
the smaller the pepper, the longer it
took to harvest so labor costs become
higher with the small ones. In order
to make a fair profit, you have to sell
the smaller ones at a much higher
price, and this is an important factor if you’re selling Hawaiian chilies.
Fresh Hawaiian chilies were retail-
ing for $10 a pound at Tamashiros
Market in Kalihi, so half of this price
would be the wholesale price, but I
would sell it for more, considering
the labor involved in harvesting it.
Texas A&M hot pepper researcher Dr. Kevin Crosby collaborated on the trials and shared many
of the latest pepper cultivars with us.
He was able to analyze the peppers
from our trial for capsaicin content,
another way to measure hotness in
peppers. We expected the Habanero
to be the hottest, but other sizzlers
were a surprise to
us. The TAM Mild
Jalapeno was next,
with Hawaiian chili
not far behind. The
Habanero types Red
Caribbean, Peto Orange, and Chocolate
Habanero ranged
from 17000 to 23000
units, while the
sleeper was TAM
Mild
Jalapeno
which ranged from 18000 to 21000
when it was supposed to be mild. The
Hawaiian Chili from the Waimanalo
trial ranged from 10000 to 17000, just
a notch behind the two. Keahi, a hot
chili from the Big Island, was next
at 13,000 units. The remaining chilis
ranged from 39 to 9000 units.
These results point to the fact
that within a variety, there’s a need
to select for the taste and hotness you
want, and continuing to improve
your variety. This is what seed saving
is all about. Hopefully, some of field
day participants saved seed to plant
this summer. Hot weather makes for
a hotter pepper, so plan to harvest in
the heat of summer. Water stress just
before harvesting can make it even
hotter, but don’t kill the plants. My
mouth is hot already!

Historical Kaunakakai Wharf
Part I in an ongoing series about Molokai’s
history.
By Arleone Dibben-Young
I
n 1899, American Sugar Company constructed a wharf with
a mole (a large stone pier) onehalf miles long to accommodate
the sugar operations. The stones
were brought from two heiau in
Kalama`ula named `Opae`ula (red
shrimp) and Pu`upapa`i (crab hill),
and remain part of the structure of
today’s wharf (picutred below).
The older previous wharf is located just west of the Molokai Canoe
Club and is visible at low tide. American Sugar Company built a railroad
from the end of the mole up through
Palaau and Iloli to the middle of
the Ho`olehua plateau. Locomotives were imported to the Hawaiian Islands – however, never made
the journey from Oahu to Molokai
– and a huge coal
dump was formed
at Kaunakakai to
supply fuel. A large
camp was constructed and labor
was brought in, creating the village of
Kaunakakai.
The Kaunakakai mole, between
the wharf and the
shore, was too narrow for ordinary
road vehicles. To overcome this disadvantage, a railroad flat-car (pictured above) on tracks was drawn
by a reliable, “flea-bitten” grey mule
named Hattie, who was replaced
later by a brown mule named Hannah. The mule hauled freight and
passengers from steamer to shore.
In the earlier days, an unusual mode
of transportation was employed by
George Trimble to move sugar cane
from his fields in Kawela. After he
had loaded the cane on a small barge,
draft animals towed it through the
shallows between the reef and the
shore to the sugar mill in Kamalo, a
distance of five miles.

Let Positive Outweigh Negative
Wellness Circle column by Dr. John Havey
I
would like to experience more
positive emotions but my mind
goes towards the negative.
What’s up with that? It’s a wellness
paradox.
There appears to be a paradox
concerning our wellness. It appears
that the brain finds it easier to attend
to negative situations, especially after momentary life challenges. For
example, an individual may feel
unsafe or threatened but there is no
actual danger in the moment. On the
other hand, it is very important for
human beings to experience positive
emotions for building our health, our
relationships, and our psychological
reserves. So, if positive experiences
do not outweigh negative ones in our
external environment, then we may
benefit from generating life-giving,
internal environments through the
gift of relaxation, imagination, gratitude, savoring, interest, and joy, to
name a few. Quieting our negative
radar and enhancing our capacity to
be kind to oneself may help with the
wellness paradox.

Boys’ doubles play at states.

M
olokai High School’s Mason
Horner and Kanahele Montizor made it to the tennis
state championships last week in Kailua-Kona, representing Molokai with
their double prowess. They came
away just one game shy of entering
the finals.
Seniors Horner and Montizor
defeated a team from Baldwin High
School, 6-4, 6-3, but were later eliminated by Kilani High School of Honolulu – who rank seventh in state – 3-6,
0-6.
“It was good playing schools out
of the normal Maui County schools,”
Horner said.
Coach Stacey Horner said that
amid the intense pressure of competing in the state championships, the
boys performed well and should feel
proud to make it beyond the Maui Interscholastic League finals.
“They had a real good shot,” Stacey Horner added. “They took the
lead [in the second game] but fell
short in the end.”
Stacey Horner said this year was
the last season for all the boys on the
team, being they are all seniors, and
will begin the recruiting process for
next year.

Man With A Plan

Meet Mikal Torgerson, new Molokai planner.
Modernization Plan
By Catherine Cluett
Department of Human Resources News Release
M
ikal
Torgerson feels
right
at
home in small towns.
That’s why he chose
to make Molokai his
home and take on the
position of Molokai
Staff Planner with the
County of Maui Planning Department.
Torgerson took over for former Molokai
planner Nancy McPherson at the beginning of this year.
Torgerson, originally from a small
town in rural Montana, graduated high
school in Panama and attended University of Montana to earn his bachelor’s
and master’s degrees in architecture. He
went on to start two architecture firms in
Colorado.
Torgerson said his wife is from
Maui, and once his firms became wellestablished, they decided to fulfill their
long term goal of relocating to Maui to be
closer to her family. They moved at the
end of last year, and Torgerson said they
plan to become permanent residents of
Molokai this July.
He said he was originally one of the
applicants for the Kalaupapa Administrator position, but was not chosen as the
final candidate. However, when he heard
about the Molokai Staff Planner opening,
he knew it was for him.
“The planning position suited my
skill set perfectly,” said Torgerson, referring to his background in architecture
and planning.
Torgerson said his main goal as
Molokai planner is to expedite the projects that come before him so people will
be less likely to build without proper
permitting. He says he hopes to build
confidence in the Planning Department
so that the County won’t stall on projects
or be seen by applicants as “capricious.”
It must be a small world, because
he said he has already met seven or eight
people on Molokai from the same rural
area of Montana from which he hails.
“A similar thing draws us all there
[to Molokai] – friendly people, a small
town atmosphere, and lots of natural
beauty.”

T
he State Legislature has effectively
blocked an innovative and costsaving initiative to modernize the
processing of applications and renewals
for Medicaid, welfare, nutrition benefits
and other forms of public assistance, announced Department of Human Services
(DHS) Director Lillian Koller.
“By passing this misguided bill and
overriding Governor Lingle’s veto, the
Legislature has stopped cold the EPOD
initiative. I strongly encourage the next
Governor to revive our plan, because
a modern processing system would
greatly improve customer service while
saving about $8 million each year for taxpayers.”
The Legislature blocked the EPOD
plan on the Neighbor Islands, and even
requires any pilot project on Oahu to
stop by June 30, 2011. The new law also
prevents implementation of any pilot
project until DHS completes a lengthy
process of adopting new administrative
rules, conducting public hearings and
engaging in consultation for a second
time with the Hawaii Government Employees Association (HGEA) – something that is not normally required when
internally reorganizing a state agency,
Koller pointed out.
Under the original DHS plan, the
processing of applications and renewals
for public assistance would take place
at two consolidated centers in Honolulu
and Hilo, rather than at 31 separate small
offices scattered across the Islands.
Because of the efficiencies created
by EPOD – including a call center, online
applications and a streamlined workflow
– fewer government employees would be
needed to handle the caseloads. HGEA
staunchly opposed any layoffs of union
workers and joined with Representative
John Mizuno and other legislators in
conducting a statewide push to discredit
the EPOD proposal.
“The new law, by design, does not
allow DHS to achieve a quick solution
to this crisis. Despite these constraints,
DHS will continue doing all it can to
improve customer service over the next
seven months, but this will fall far short
of the convenient and speedy system we
could have implemented through EPOD,
such as opening the Honolulu processing center in June,” Koller said.

Tattooist Tricia Allen comes for Molokai book
signing.
T
ricia Allen sits with the books she’s
authored spread before her, pen in
hand. A lei po`o rests atop her salt
and pepper hair, her fair-skinned face curving in a mild-mannered smile. A couple
of tattoos peak out of her Hawaiian print
shirt. But you’d never guess by looking at
her that Allen is a tattooist and expert on
Polynesian tattoo history and art.
“It’s a mark that identifies who you
are and where you’ve been,” Allen says of
tattoos.
A Kane`ohe resident, Allen visited
Molokai last Saturday for a book signing at
Kalele Bookstore in Kaunakakai. Her most
recent book, “The Polynesian Tattoo Today,” is a compilation of 216 photos representing the work of 73 artists from around
the globe. The event attracted a generous
audience, from local tattoo artists to “tattoo
virgins,” curious to find out more.
“I’ve wanted to meet this woman for
15 years,” said Teri Waros, owner of Kalele
Bookstore and Divine Expressions.
Creative Process
While her last book, “Tattoo Traditions of Hawaii,” delves more into the
history and context of tattoos in Hawaii,
“The Polynesian Tattoo Today” has very
little text – a sure hit on your coffee table.
It beautifully highlights the artists’ work
itself.
“Lots of people just want to share
their art and not write about it,” she explains.
To create the book, Allen contacted
many of the world’s most well-respected
Polynesian tattooists she had met or heard
of. She asked them to send photos of their
work or contact their clients for photos.
In some cases, she arranged photo shoots
to capture the images. Out of 748 submissions, 216 images made the final cut. The
product is a stunning presentation of the
best Polynesian-style tattoos around the
globe, from small pieces to art that covers
much of the body.
Allen has traveled the world studying
Polynesian tattoo traditions, and combines
her academic background with an organic
and deeply cultural understanding of the
art. She says the average time with a client before completing the tattoo is eight
months. That time is spent getting to know
her client and helping them design a tattoo
that means something to them. Both body
placement and the design itself influences
the meaning of a Polynesian tattoo. Every
symbol has meaning, though that meaning can be different for each individual, according to Allen.
Tattoos and Academia
Allen hasn’t always had a passion for
tattoos. She was working at the Denver Art
Museum, where there was a display featuring a full body tattoo.
“I used to walk by the display, thinking ‘why would anyone do that?’”
But Allen’s interest in tattoos grew
– sparked, she says, by an interest in the
cultural, historical and artistic aspect of
Polynesian tattoo traditions. She went on
to get her master’s degree in Anthropology
from the University of Hawaii at Manoa,
completing her master’s thesis on the early
practice of tattooing in the Marquesas Islands.

She continued her studies, researching the revival tattooing in the Pacific
Islands, including Samoa, Aotearoa, the
Society Islands, the Marquesas, Rapa Nui
and Hawaii. She trained to become a tattooist herself, and has now tattooed over
8,000 members of the Polynesian community.
“Now half my friends look like that
guy in the case at the museum,” she laughs.
Learning the Art
Tattoos aren’t always pretty – sometimes they’re ugly, Allen admits. But they
are a part of you, often marking important
transitions in your life. She says the first
time she held a tattoo machine, she was
tattooing herself. The results weren’t necessarily pretty but proved a valuable part
of her training.
She says she makes her apprentices
learn the same way. One of the biggest
challenges of tattooing, she explains, is
using the right amount of pressure to hit
certain depths of the skin tissue. The only
way to learn what is too deep and what
will fade is to observe that tattoo over a
period of time. You can either do that by
learning on yourself or learning on your
dog, she laughs.
Allen has campaigned for hygienic
practices around the world, and says she
has seen a huge improvement in some
areas. She has also worked to revise state
statutes for tattoo licensing and testing for
people to become a legal tattooists.
Allen talked with her audience about
the challenges of tattooing, its history and
revival in the Pacific Islands, its cultural
and social implications today, and her own
mana`o as a tattooist.
“I’m just a tool in this process – to
find out what’s in your mind, put it on
paper, and eventually on the skin,” Allen
explained.

Bookstore, Coffees of Hawaii, Molokai
Public Library, on Allen’s website, www.

Life of the School
Aka`ula holds two fundraising events.
By Molokai Dispatch Staff
I
t was a week of intense fun and
fundraising for Aka`ula School,
which hosted both the Spring Disco
and a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta.
Last Wednesday brought a night of
Latin dance, raffled piñatas handmade
by Aka`ula students and parents,
and a grand prize of a helicopter
tour of Halawa Valley and Molokai’s north coast. The Spring
Disco was also a hit last Friday
evening, where a lively group of
keiki and teens danced the night
away.
Aka`ula
encountered
a
shortfall with funding this year
– about $3,500 short – which
prompted an emergency meeting in
April to discuss fundraising options.
Two ideas that emerged were the
Spring Disco and the Cinco de Mayo
Fiesta, said parent and fundraiser organizer Alicia Bicoy.
“It’s challenging to find resources
when living on a small island,” Bicoy
said. “And it’s difficult asking the same
people year after year to give money.
They just can’t do it, especially with
this economy.”
Pictured left, Aka`ula students
gathered to sing “La Bamba,” a Mexican folk song, in honor of Cinco de
Mayo. Held at Hotel Molokai, the evening also featured music by Molokai
Jazz and the new hit band, MoPac, comprised of half the members of Mobettah
band and half of Six Pak.
At the disco, youth packed Mitchell Pauole Center – some released their
energy on the dance floor with break-
dancing moves, while others enjoyed
concession snacks and cruised with
friends.
Maui County holds discos at
Mitchell Pauole Center once a month
with a $2 cover charge, donating a
portion of those proceeds to organizations who wish to “piggy back” on
the already existing event to help raise
money. Aka`ula received $1 of the cover
charge and any profit made from the
concession snacks.
Bicoy added the school also offered chicken plates at $8 a piece to
help raise funds that would help cover
the school’s operational costs, teachers’
salaries and other yearly expenditures.

Free Will Astrology
By Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19): What happens when someone “sells out”? Typically, it refers to a person who overrides
her highest artistic standards or her soul’s mandates in order to make a bundle of money. But I want to enlarge the
definition to encompass any behavior that seeks popular
appeal at the expense of authenticity, or any action that
sacrifices integrity for the sake of gaining power. I think
you have to be especially on guard against this lapse in the
coming days, Aries -- not only in yourself but also in those
you’re close to.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “I can’t live the button-down
life,” says cartoon character Homer Simpson. “I want it all:
the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles.” Born May 10, Homer is unusual for a Taurus. Many
of your tribe love the creamy middles but are quite content to live without the terrifying lows, even if that means
being deprived of your fair share of dizzying highs. While
that may sometimes seem like a boring limitation, I don’t
expect it to be any time soon. The creamy middles that are
looming for you are the lushest, plushest creamy middles
I’ve seen in a long time. Terrifying lows and dizzying highs
will be irrelevant.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Spanish painter Francisco
Goya created an etching entitled “El Sueño de la Razón Produce Monstruos.” Its two possible translations have very
different meanings: “The sleep of reason produces monsters” or “The dream of reason produces monsters.” The first
version suggests that when our reasoning faculties go dormant, we’re susceptible to doing dumb and crazy things.
The second version implies that if we rely excessively on
our reasoning faculty, it acquires a lunatic hubris that devalues our emotions and distorts our imagination. You’re
more susceptible to the former than the latter right now,
Gemini, but it’s crucial that you avoid both. A way out of
your pain is available if you use your reason just right -neither too little nor too much.
getting your fortune told by a rebel optimist like me? You
should know that all my horoscopes are rooted in the hypothesis that expecting the best makes you happier, safer,
kinder, wilder, stronger, and smarter. What happens in the
coming weeks will, in my opinion, be dramatic proof of
that.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The bad news is that climate
change is really underway. That’s why Purbasha Island in
the Bay of Bengal has sunk beneath the waves, swallowed
up by rising sea levels and shifts in monsoon patterns. The
good news is that its disappearance has ended a dispute
between India and Bangladesh, both of which claimed it
as their own. There’s nothing left to fight over. I foresee a
metaphorically comparable scenario coming to your life,
Libra: an act of nature that will render a conflict irrelevant.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some experts say methamphetamine is more addictive than any other drug. Here’s
one reason why, according to “Mothers Against Methamphetamines” founder Dr. Mary Holley: “The effect of an IV
hit of methamphetamine is the equivalent of 10 orgasms
all on top of each other lasting for 30 minutes to an hour,
with a feeling of arousal that lasts for another day and a
half.” At least that’s what it’s like in the early stages of using
the drug. After a while, hell sets in and the body is no longer happy. Luckily, you Scorpios won’t be tempted to fall
victim to meth splurges any time soon. Without relying on
anything more than your natural powers, your capacity for
experiencing erotic pleasure will be substantial.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your eyes can discriminate between about 500 various shades of gray. Let’s hope
your moral compass is as precise in its power to distinguish
subtle differences. Why? Because there will be no easy
black-versus-white decisions to make in the near future;
no simple, foolproof way to determine the distinctions between good and bad. I recommend that for now you give
up hope of achieving utter certainty, and instead celebrate

What’s Happening Molokai
Aunty’s Corner
A
loha Aunty
here again.
Wo o e e e
did you go to the
Ag Fair? It was so
cool.
My kumu,
Aunty Kauila and
Aunty Molly were
two of the judges for the lei contest.
I neglected to write the other two
auntys’ names down, auwe! The lei
were the most beautiful ones I’ve ever
seen. I’m sure it would take me hours
but I’ll bet it wasn’t like that for these
experts. Sean Naauau was so fabulous. The chickens were clucking, the
horses were moving in a circle and the
food booths were cooking up a storm.
Great fair! Way more cool then the
famous Puyallup Fair in Washington
State.
My sweet friend Aunty Ku’ulei is
in the hospital. She is doing well but
I wish she didn’t have to go in there.
The sign said please respect her rest
and only have no more than four people at a time and stay five minutes.
When I was near the door there was
lively music. I went in and found at
least 10 people, what a party! I had
to laugh. I had to dance a hula for
her. Kissed her on the cheek and left,
didn’t want to tire her out. Tee Hee.
The Hui at Home Pumehana
hosted the Kamehameha Guitar Club.
There were 10 young men and women
who played and sang and even did a
funny tango. They helped out at One
Ali’i fish pond before performing for
us. They were a delight. The Baptist
Church is hosting a Ladies Throughout the Generations, May 15. Ladies
will be sharing their memories. They
can come dressed in the style of their
generation. Sounds like fun!
One of my subscribers called all
the way from Santa Fe, New Mexico.
She used to live here for 30 years.
Wow. There was a very tall gentleman that came into the Dispatch
the other day. He had a very long,
beautiful feather that was an Eagle
feather. I asked him how he could
have that. He said his grandmother
was Shoshone and someone gave it
to him. So cool. I’m still looking for
someone to come and read or tell me
what my wall hangings say. They are
all in Chinese. I am so excited that I
was given a scholarship to go back to
school at the MCC Molokai. I am going to take basic Hawaiian language,
basic Hawaiian cultural practices, and
intro to Hawaiian culture.
Our beautiful Kanoe has moved
to Hilo on the Big Island. I am going
to be taking over her position. Send
me good vibes because she was the
very best at doing all this. She will be
working from her home so you may

Maul married Frank Maul
in the 50s, but they later divorced and she raised her two
daughters on Molokai.
“Her practice was not
marked by celebrated causes,
famous clients, or extravagant
financial returns. Instead, she
ministered to the needs of clients who often were too poor
to pay her in cash and whose
gratitude was sometimes her
only reward,” wrote Karen

hree cheers to Walter Ritte for
hosing the anti-GMO protest.
The reasons given for having the
rally were all valid to me, being a 29year cancer survivor. I am adding two
products that Walter forgot to mention
made by Monsanto that I have also had
to delete from my diet in order to stay
alive.
1) RBGH, or Recombinant Bovine
Growth Hormone, is used to make
cows grow bigger, faster and produce
more milk, shortening their lives considerably.
2) Aspartame, found in over 5,000
household foods, is 16,000 times sweeter than sugar, according to the book
“Why There’s Antifreeze in your Toothpaste – The Chemistry of Household
Ingredients” by Simon Quellen Field.
When I stopped using aspartame, I
stopped having seizures – which began
soon after I began its use.
So nice to see the recognition of
love for the human race instead of business as usual. Thanks Walter and all
who showed up.

permit is still on hold by Maui
County Department of Water
Supply (DWS). DWS says there is not
enough water for fire protection; in order to have legal requirement, an upgrade from 4 inch water line to 8 inch
is needed. If this is the case most of
Kaunakakai’s buildings would be illegal at this time.
Molokai Petroleum tanks next
to the Veteran property would need a
100 inch water line for protection, God
forbid if a fire was to happen. A year
and a half ago, Maui County issued a
building permit to a newcomer to build
a new house on a 3 inch water line
about two hundred feet from the Veteran property. The house is built. In
the three and a half years of the Molokai Veteran Special Management Area
(SMA) permit process, the director of
the Department of Water Supply stated
in a letter to the Maui Planning Department that there is an 8 inch water line
