Protecting
Public Lands
Residents testify against the
PLDC at public hearing
By Eileen Chao | Managing Editor
“I
t is dangerous to put public lands
in private hands,” said Molokai
resident Kauhane Adams. Yet it
seems that this is exactly what legislature created the Public Land Development Corporation (PLDC) to do when
they passed senate bill Act 55 in 2011
that established the corporation.
The PLDC’s was established to
“generate additional revenues for the
Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) by developing underutilized or unused public land,” according to a written statement circulated by
the PLDC.
Homesteader Adolph Helm claimed
that the PLDC would allow “fast-track
boondoggle projects that benefit the private developer and the pockets of the
well-connected [while] stripping Native
Hawaiian beneficiaries of trust lands.”
Sentiments against the advancement of the PLDC have echoed throughout the state at similar meetings held on
Hawaii Island, Maui, Oahu and Kauai.
These public hearing meetings, hosted
by the PLDC, were meant to gather community feedback on its proposed new
administrative rules, but have largely
resulted in Hawaiians calling for the repeal of Act 55 and the disbanding of the
PLDC.

This Week’s
Dispatch
Renegotiating Oceanic’s Services
Molokai residents are frustrated
with Oceanic Time Warner Cable, the island’s only provider of cable television
(CATV) and broadband Internet services.
Many claim that though they pay the
same price as on other islands for Internet, they get only half the speed.
As part of the process to renew Oceanic’s franchise, possibly for the next 20
years, the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA),
who regulates CATV statewide, is gath-

ering community input across the islands
on Oceanic’s services as well as public
access services provided by Akaku Maui
Community Television.
“We want feedback on the level of
service being provided by both Oceanic
and Akaku,” said Donn Yabusaki, administrator of the DCCA’s CATV division. “If
you have a need, we want to know about
it… We’re not promising overnight fixes,
but we need a starting point.”
Franchise agreements are required
because cable companies use county and
state rights-of-way to lay their cable, said
Oceanic President Bob Barlow. There is a
separate agreement for each county in the
state. The renewal process includes identification of community needs through
public hearings, reviews the financial
viability of the operator, outlines what
services they plan to offer and the company’s technical capabilities, according to
Barlow. Oceanic’s current franchise term
expires on Dec. 31, 2013.

stressed the need to “cut the fat”--or wasteful spending --from the budget to reduce
the national deficit, not by increasing taxes
for middle class families, but by eliminating the Bush tax breaks for big oil companies and the wealthiest two percent of the

“I will continue to be a voice for veterans, women, seniors, teachers and young

Swimmer from India aims to complete the Molokai-Lanai Channel
A
s inclined towards the water as islanders are, few Hawaiians can
boast the ability to swim 10 hours
non-stop. However, open water swimmer
from East India, Amol Adhav, has swam
the English Channel, the Bhagirathi River
in India and the South African Channel
to Robben Island. This week, he hopes to
become the first man from India to swim
the 9.3-mile-long Kalohi Channel between
Molokai and Lanai.
The 32-year-old said it is his dream to
swim in oceans all around the world. Originally from Bombay, India, Adhav has won
endurance competitions in long-distance
and marathon running as well as local
swimming tournaments. He started swimming at the age of 12 and usually practices
four hours every morning, after which he
goes to his day job as an auto mechanic for
Tata Motors in Bombay. In July of last year,

that, in addition to being a safety hazard,
is not being used to the best of its ability.
The space could instead be developed
to generate additional revenue to benefit the Department of Education, said
Haraguchi. He insisted that the PLDC
is committed to finding “the highest and
best use of land within a community.”
Resident Glenn Teves questioned
how the five board members of the
PLDC --who may constitute a quorum
with only three people --would define
what would be the “highest and best use
of land.”
“They may believe major developments like shopping malls is the ‘best
use’ for the land because it generates
more revenue for the state, but the community may believe that the best use for
that land is farming,” said community
member Cheryl Corbiell. “This is an
excuse to get more money through pri-
he swam the 21-mile-long English Channel
between England and France in 10 hours 56
minutes.
“Endurance has been his strength always,” said Adhav’s manager, Milind Gunjal. “His pulse rate is 52, which is very low
so he doesn’t get tired soon. It is a natural
gift.”
Before coming to Molokai, Adhav had
the choice to swim channels off the coast
in Calfornia in Catalina and Santa Barbara,
but chose the Kalohi Channel because no
one from India has ever swam it before.
“It’s nice that people are coming from
all over the world to swim our channel,”
said Jim Schelinsky, who owns Molokai
BlueGoose B&B, where Adhav is staying.
As of the writing of this article, a date
for the swim has not been set due to uncertain surf and weather conditions. However, Adhav insists he will make his attempt
across the channel before Sept. 9.
vate partnership by using our valuable
resources”
Haraguchi agreed that there is no
specific formula to determine what projects will be “best,” but he said the PLDC
is committed to keeping the community’s interests in mind when considering
proposed projects.
“The PLDC board will consider
each project based on the experience of
the board members, the community input received at the various stages of the
project and the project proposal itself to
determine if the project serves the economic, environmental and social benefit
for the people of Hawaii and the community where the project is to be located,” said Haraguchi.
Proposed projects may be located
on any state-owned public land, including ceded lands, according to Haraguchi. In Hawaii, there are 1.8 million
acres of ceded lands that belonged to the
Hawaiian monarchy under Kamehameha’s rule. When Hawaii became a state
in 1959, that land was transferred to the
state. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs

projects developed by the PLDC will go
in part towards OHA, said Haraguchi.

Haraguchi insists that the community will not by bypassed.
“Any developer or the PLDC must
conduct or participate in at least one
public meeting in the community to solicit input on the proposed project before the PLDC may take action on the
project proposal,” said Haraguchi via
email. “Lastly, when the PLDC board
acts to give final approval to any project,
they can only do so at a public meeting
and the community is again welcome to
provide testimony.”
Exemption from the rules
History of the PLDC
One of the most controversial aspects of Act 55 statewide meetings are
the exemptions granted to the PLDC
from development requirements.
Haraguchi stresses that the PLDC is
not exempt from federal laws, state environmental laws or state historic preservation laws. It is allowed to waive
Chapter 301 o f its administrative rules,
Rules of Practice and Procedure, in order to “enable the board to have greater
flexibility in the conduct of proceedings before it,” according to Haraguchi.
Similar exemptions have been granted
for agencies like the Hawaii Community
Development Corporation, Department
of Agriculture and DLNR, but have not
been cause for significant objections
because they have been rarely used, he
said.
“Moreover, the proposed provision would not allow the PLDC Board
to waive the rules in this chapter for
any reason, there has to be a basis in the
law for waiving a rule,” said Haraguchi.
Also, all parties involved would need to
agree to the waiver, he added.
“You guys create these rules and
laws but don’t even follow them,” said
Molokai High School teacher Gandarva
Ross. “You bypass all the rules put in
place to protect our public land trust
and then take away our right to give in-
The corporation was formed after
Legislature passed Senate Bill 1555, authored by Sen. Donovan Dela Cruz and
Malama Soloman and signed into law
as Act 55 by Gov. Neil Abercrombie in
2011. It is a state entity that aims to attract private companies as joint partners
in development opportunities through
public-private partnerships, according
to its website.
It is governed by a five-member
board of directors representing three
state agencies --the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT), the Department of Budget
and Finance and the DLNR. One member is appointed by the speaker of the
House of Representatives and one member by the president of Senate.
“Act 55 is intended to strike a careful balance between entrepreneurship
while still maintaining the state’s duty
to uphold public interest,” said Haraguchi in an email. “[It] has the potential to
provide the state with…a viable model
for generating additional revenues without having to exclusively rely on fees
and taxes.”
Haraguchi urges written comments

Government
Accountability 101
Column by Barbara Haliniak, Hawaii District 7 Senate candidate
It would seem that
accountability is not a
priority for policymakers in government, as
poor decisions have
continued to burden
taxpayers’ pocketbooks. Although the
state’s economy is expected to continue
modest growth for the rest of 2012 and
into 2013, as stated by Richard C. Lim,
director of the Department of Business,
Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT), we are still struggling
economically. There is no such thing as
“surplus” money. The state still owes
the rainy day, the hurricane and the employee retirement system funds. Aren’t
legislators accountable to pay back these
funds which they have raided?
We choose leaders who we trust
to make informed and educated decisions, yet these same leaders continue to
make bad decisions and display a lack
of accountability. Take the University of
Hawaii (UH) athletics’ blunder regarding the Stevie Wonder concert. “Sorry”
was the excuse. Yet taxpayers must pay
for Donovan’s new three year contract
worth $633,600, and the $200,000 spent
on the concert and Donovan’s attorney
fees. Where’s the accountability from
UH administration and its board of regents? What about the legislation who
approved the board appointed by the
Oceanic
Dissatisfaction with Oceanic
services
While the purpose of the meetings are
to gather feedback about Oceanic’s CATV
service, many Molokai residents at last
week’s meetings had more to say about
the company’s broadband Internet services. However, federal law restricts the
state from regulating broadband service,
and it is only controlled federally through
benchmark speeds rather than specific
requirements for providers, according to
Yabusaki.
Still, Yabasaki urged the community
to submit testimony on broadband service,
as it is “certain to become a larger issue in
the future.”
Last year, a community petition complaining about Oceanic’s poor Internet
service garnered almost 100 signatures
and was sent to Oceanic headquarters on
Oahu, according to Kawela resident Alan
Uemura.
In a phone interview with The Dispatch last month, Barlow assured residents
that Oceanic was in the process of updating their microwave technology system
that sends CATV and broadband signals
to Molokai. The upgrades would double
current download speeds for customers,
according to Barlow.
“We are updating microwave to both
Molokai and Lanai and that will remedy
some of the issues that we’ve been having,” said Barlow. “I’m confident they’ll
be done by the end of the year.” To match
the broadband service provided on other
islands, he said Oceanic will need to get
a fiber optic cable to Molokai, which he
predicts will happen within the next six
months.
Still, residents are skeptical after Oceanic circulated a letter to customers last
year that had promised a similar upgrade
all around the islands, but failed to follow
through on Molokai.
“We pay the same prices [as on other
islands] so we should be able to get the
same service, but on Molokai we get a lot
slower service,” said Oceanic customer
Ronald Bouman at the meeting.
“The only thing the Molokai WAVE
service has in common with the RoadRunner service on other islands is monthly
cost,” said Kawela resident Douglas Beijer.
While Molokai customers pay the same
$49.95 as Oahu residents, they get half the
speed provided to RoadRunner customers: 5 megabits per second (Mbps) download speed versus 10 Mbps, according to
Beijer.
Oceanic’s CATV services were also
scrutinized, with residents complaining
about poor sound and picture quality of
channels, faulty programming and inad-

Ed Case for the Democratic primary. She
faces former Hawaii governor Linda Lingle
for an open U.S. Senate Seat in the General
Elections in November. If victorious, Hirono would become the first Asian-Amer-
governor? Shouldn’t they be accountable also?
Another blunder is the Hawaii
Island election precincts closing late.
Blame shifted between County Clerk Jamae Kawauchi and state Chief Elections
Officer Scott Nago. Kawauchi said Nago
was being “over critical” while Nago
stated Kawauchi showed poor leadership. The Governor ordered those affected precincts to stay open another
hour and half, an additional expense
taxpayers had to pay for. Who should be
held accountable for this?
Finally, the state recently agreed to
a $4.4 million settlement in a lawsuit regarding a couple who claimed the DOE
failed to give their daughters appropriate autism-specific services in the 1990s.
Taxpayers are burdened with this settlement amount. Who will claim accountability?
An article in the Star-Advertiser
by William Pesek reported that 70 of the
wealthiest lawmakers in China added
almost $90 billion to their bank accounts
in 2011. While this net revenue is significantly greater than lawmakers’ salaries
in the U.S. , it still puts into perspective where the money is --“Why start a
technology company, study science or
work in finance when the riches are to be
found by rising within the party?” Let’s
hope that wealth and power will never
blind our country’s leaders to forsake
accountability, trust and the people they
serve, its taxpayers.

Molokai Marine
Receives High Honor
A
lmost 70 years after he fought
in World War II, Marine Corps
veteran and Molokai resident
William Harris Jr., 87, received the Congressional Gold Medal last week for his
service.
Harris was among the first 20,000
African-American Marines in the
1940s, training at Montford Point
Camp in Jacksonville, N.C.
The
Montford Point Marines, as they were
called, served in a time of racial discrimination and segregation.
“We had people from different
parts of the country who, if a black
came in and sat down at the table with
them, they would get up and leave
without finishing their meal,” said
veteran Robert Talmadge in an interview with KITV News.
Talmadge, who joined the military in 1947, said African-American
Marines paved the way for racial diversity both within and outside of the
military.
“By breaking the color barrier in
1942, the Montford Point Marines became part of a rich legacy of our corps,
they answered our nation’s call despite our society being deeply divided
along racial lines,” said General James
Amos, Marine Corps Commandant.
Congressional Medal Events were
held in Washington, D.C. in June of
this year to honor 400 African-American Marines who served in World
War II. Because Harris and 100 other
Montford Point Marines were unable
to attend, the ceremony last week was
held at Marine Corps Base Hawaii on
Oahu.
Harris declined to comment.
equate customer service.
Resident Moke Kim suggested that
competition would be the way to regulate Oceanic’s “monopoly” on CATV and
broadband services. Instead of renewing
the franchise agreement for 20 years, the
term should be shortened, allowing for
other cable companies to compete for a
long-term contract.
“You cannot tell me where we’re going to be in 10 years, so they should not
get a 20-year contract,” said Kim. “In two
years, if there is a competing company,
we’re going to be stuck with Oceanic for
18 more years.”
Cheryl Corbiell, who teaches Internet courses part-time at UH Maui College,
Molokai, echoed this sentiment. “With the
rapid advancement of technologies today,
what we think of as TV is not going to be
the same in 20 years.”
Akaku: a valuable asset for
the community
As part of the previous franchise
agreement, Oceanic is required by federal
law to divert three percent of their revenues to fund public access, government
and education channels, which in Maui
County, is provided by nonprofit organization Akaku Maui Community Television.
It is Akaku’s mission to “empower
the community’s voice through access to
media,” according to Dan Emhof, director of Akaku Molokai Media Center. They
serve the islands of Molokai, Maui and Lanai via programming on CATV channels
52, 53, 54, 55 and 56.
“With students, reading and writing
has become secondary to technology,” said
community activist Walter Ritte. “Akaku
plays a huge role in teaching our children how to communicate using video,
so DCCA needs to support what they are
doing.”
“Akaku is one of our family programs,” said Ruth Manu. “They provide
nutrition programs, kupuna programs
and educational programs that we need to
fight for.”
Recently, Akaku’s public access channels have been under attack by Time Warner, according to Emhof. One of Akaku’s
educational channels was switched from
analog channel 56 to a digital channel –
channel 356, which Emhof calls a “digital
Siberia.” Viewers would not be able to
access the channel unless they obtained a
separate digital cable box.
“We cannot be an informed community without access to public television and
it cannot continue to be hatcheted,” said
customer Artis Swingle.
The DCCA urges community members to submit written feedback by Sept.
14 to [email protected], by post to

Earlier in the day, Hirono also sat with

MHS Graduate Receives Science Scholarship
Monsanto Hawaii News Release
Last week, Molokai High School
(MHS) graduate Moriah Jenkins became
one of 10 students statewide to receive
$1,000 in the 2012 Monsanto Hawaii Life
Sciences Scholarship program.
“I am extremely humbled and grateful that Monsanto chose me to be one of

Yuhudah graduated from University
of Hawaii -Manoa in 2009 with a bachelor’s
degree in art, majoring in ceramics with a
focus in glass. She devoted three semesters
to glass blowing and lamp working. In addition, she studied glass bead making with
renowned Oahu artist Althea Donovan.
“Art brings out the elements of community because it is so diverse and rich
with cultural difference we can all appreciate,” said Yuhudah.
This year marks the 15th annual
Krazy for Kolea Kontest, a competition
hosted by Nene O Molokai that allows
members of the community to track
kolea birds as they return to the islands
at the end of their breeding season. Prizes are distributed to observers of the first
ten Kolea sightings. This year’s winner
is Joe Yerhot, who reported this season’s
first migrating bird on Aug. 1. Joe will
receive a Kolea research t-shirt from the
Hawaii Audubon Society and a gift certificate for a scoop of ice cream at Kamoi
Snack-N-Go.
The kolea, or Pacific Golden-Plover (Pluvialis fulva) has one of the
longest transoceanic migrations, with
some flying from breeding grounds in
Alaska to as far away as Madagascar.
In Hawaii, the winter range of the kolea
includes pastures and cultivated fields,
coastal wetlands, golf courses and residential lawns. The kolea spends most of
its daylight hours foraging and can be
recognized from a distance by its peculiar feeding behavior of run-stop-run.
There was a tie for second
place on Aug. 8 between Bill Feeter and
Sarah Jenkins. Judith Gardner reported
another on Aug. 15. Other contest win-
ners who reported the first ten kolea
sightings this year include (in order of
submission): Kimo McPherson, Aunty
Kapua Templeton, Kim Markham, Uncle Frankie Montizor, Angel Johnston
and Danny Gutierres.
Mahalo to all the participants
who reported a kolea this year but
didn’t place -- there’s always next year!
Contest winners should call Arleone at
553-5992 or email researchbirds@yahoo.

8th Annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser
MHS Girls Volleyball News Release
The quiet morning at Ironwood Hills
Golf Course was interrupted by the familiar “ping” of metal on rubber as 42 eager
golfers set out to win the 8th annual Golf
Tournament Fundraiser, hosted by Molokai High School (MHS) Girls Volleyball
Booster Club on Aug. 25. Great camaraderie was shared by all and participants
and guests enjoyed awards, special prizes,
lucky number and lunch served by MHS’
Lady Farmers. All proceeds go towards
expenses for the upcoming season.
Blossom Poepoe, Keif Apo and Keith
Hirashima net a score of 59.2, winning
this year’s tournament. Friendly Market’s
team --Jeff Egusa, Sty Falealii and Frances
Magdarilla --came in a close second with
a score of 59.3. This year marked one of
the closest tournaments as four teams net
59, separated by only a few decimal places. Golfer-of-the-Day went to 89-year-old
George Harada, who won a greenie and
led his team to a fourth place finish.
This is a fresh start for new coaches
Mahealani Rawlins, Hale Domingo and
Sumu Asano, who inherit a program filled
with the rich tradition of molding great
volleyball players and even greater young
adults. While there are no seniors on this
year’s team, veteran coach Uilani Ramos
and new athletic director Hoku Haliniak
will help ease the transition.
Congratulations to last year’s graduates who will pursue higher education:
LeeNell Hernandez at North Idaho College, Carol Kahee at Maui Community
College and Natalia Levi at University of
Colorado. To coaches Matt Helm, who
recently moved to Washington to coach
women’s volleyball at Whitman College,
and to assistant coach Kim Helm, good
luck with your endeavors and rest assured
that this team will continue your legacy.

Àha Wahine Conference
By Lailani Kahn
Àha Wahine Kuhinapapa, a twoday women’s conference held at Leeward
Community College, is designed to “inspire, in quire, invest and invigorate each
other with ìke, aloha and kuleana”. This
year’s conference, organized in large part
by Kanoelani Davis, was held from Aug.
17 to 18, where 14 Molokai participants
included kupuna, students, mothers,
daughters, health professionals and community members. With the success of the
‘Aha Kane, the intent of this conference
was to reconnect women to their Hawaiian heritage.
“Native Hawaiian women have
been gathering in smaller groups around
their particular practices, but [it is important] to have one on a grander scale that
dealt with larger issues that all of us as
native Hawaiian women deal with --social, economic, health, educational and so
forth,” said Mehanaokala Hind, co-coordinator of this year’s conference.
On the first day, kau ka la i ka lolo,
protocol for the opening ceremony began
at noon and each island presented their
offerings for the ahu. The Molokai hui,
led and prepared by Po’opua’a Kanoelani
Davis, presented oli, hula noho, ha’a and
ho’okupu. Mahalo to Kanoelani for her
energy and aloha in organizing and preparing our group for this important and

powerful event.
“Being a native Hawaiian woman
practicing traditions passed down from
generation to generation is not an easy
task, although it must be done,” said
Davis. “The knowledge that there are
hundreds of women who have the same
struggles brings meaningful light that
we’re not alone.”
Workshops were held throughout
the two days, including topics such as
hula, la’au lapa’au, lomi lomi, ho’opono
pono ke ala, lauhala weaving, kama’a la’i
(ti leaf sandals) and our relationship to
our oceans and fishponds.
With the sharing of knowledge
comes responsibility. The understanding and skills that were gained by each
woman will be used to improve not only
her own health, but shared with her family and the community.
This year’s wahine group looks forward to collaborating on a workshop for
next year’s ‘Aha Wahine conference.

Big Wind Environmental A New Store with
Impact Statement Meeting Things Galore
Dept. of Energy News Release
The U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE) and the State of Hawaii have
established a long-term partnership to
transform the way in which renewable
energy and energy efficiency resources
are planned and used in the state. In
2010, DOE announced its intent to prepare a programmatic environmental
impact statement (PEIS) with the state
as a joint lead for wind energy development under the Hawaii Interisland Renewable Energy Program (HIREP). In
response to public comments, as well
as regulatory and policy developments,
DOE has broadened the scope of the
PEIS to now include energy efficiency,
distributed renewables, utility-scale
renewables, alternative transportation
fuels and modes, and electrical transmission and distribution.
The DOE will hold eight public
scoping meetings on six islands from
Sept. 11–20 to gather input on the PEIS.
The Molokai meeting will be held on
Wed. Sept. 19 at the Mitchell Pauole
Center at 5:30 p.m.
DOE invites public comments
on the revised scope of the PEIS, now
called the Hawaii Clean Energy PEIS.
The State of Hawaii and the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of
Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)
are cooperating agencies in preparing
this PEIS. Meeting details, information
about the PEIS, the Amended Notice of
Intent, and instructions for commenting on the PEIS can be found at hawaiicleanenergypeis.com.

Something for Everybody News Release
Something for Everybody, a new store
located in Kaunakakai town, is a retailer of
second-hand, lightly used clothes, shoes,
household décor and accessories at affordable prices. At Something for Everybody,
there really is something for everybody, with
brand name items from Volcom, Billabong,
Roxy and Banana Republic, just to name a
few.
“I’m really excited to give my community a store where everyone can afford the
items and walk out feeling like they totally
scored,” said owner and Molokai native
Wailani Tanaka. “I went to highschool on
Oahu and…discovered Savers and buying
second hand! I was hooked!”
Since then, Tanaka has continued to
support second-hand clothing boutiques
and garage sales. Not only is shopping second-hand a way to save money, but it is also
a way to decrease waste and reduce the human footprint, said Tanaka. After living on
Maui for the last four years, she decided to
return to Molokai to open this business, relying largely on social media marketing via
Facebook. With over 150 “likes”, the store
has been buzzing with promotions and discounts posted on their Facebook site.
“I like to come here just to check it
out,” said Molokai resident Vanessa Joao.
“I’m not necessarily looking for something
specific, but there’s such a wide variety and
low prices, it’s hard to walk out of the store
empty handed.”
New inventory is shipped from Maui
daily and promotional discounts and deals
are posted on Facebook weekly. Something
for Everybody is located off Ala Malama Avenue above American Savings Bank. Hours
of operation are Monday through Friday
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturdays
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visit facebook.com/

Several times every day, say something like the following: “I love to get my curiosity spiked, my hair mussed,
my awe struck, my goose bumps roused, my dogmas
exploded, and my mind blown.”
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Disappointments should
be cremated, not embalmed,” said the aphorist Henry S.
Haskins. That’s good advice for you right now, Libra. It’s an
auspicious moment for you to set fire to your defeats, letdowns, and discouragements -- and let them burn into tiny
piles of ashes. I mean all of them, stretching back for years,
not simply the recent ones. There’s no need to treat them like
precious treasures you have an obligation to lug with you into

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Life tests you all the time.
Sometimes its prods and queries are hard and weird; they

riddles and lessons are pretty fun and friendly, and provide
you with lots of slack to figure them out. In all cases, life’s tests
offer you the chance to grow smarter, both in your head and
heart. They challenge you to stretch your capacities and invite
you to reduce your suffering. Right now, oddly enough, you
have some choice in what kinds of tests you’d prefer. Just keep SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Columnist Sydney J. Harris told

Aunty’s Corner
Column by Kathy “Kapua” Templeton
Aloha
aunty
here…I’m in awe of
the ladies that drive
those huge yellow
Dudoit school buses. They whip those
buses into the parking area outside of
town in one fell
swoop without having to pull forward or
back up to straighten out. Whoever these
ladies are, they put an end to the myth
that men are better drivers than women.
I am surprised to find that I’m not
the only one with problems with Oceanic. I went to my first public meeting
ever last week about Oceanic’s upcoming
franchise renewal. I was impressed with
everyone’s testimony. Now the test is to
see if anything will be done. Daniel Emhof, director of Akaku Molokai, did an
excellent presentation. Even though I’m
not too sure about some things I’ve seen
before on Akaku, I didn’t realize that
Oceanic gave so little to this wonderful
public access network.
I spoke with some veterans after
congresswoman Mazie Hirono left the
Drive Inn on Thursday. They thought
that there should be an auxiliary for the
ohana. I remember being in the VFW’s
auxiliary when I was a kid. I’m not sure
if there is or was one, but if you know,
notify the commander so he may pass the
information onto anyone who is interest-
ed in joining.
Did you know that every first
Wednesday of the month, the library
hosts Read to Me for children aged
pre-school and kindergarten, in which
children and parents do crafts and read
aloud? Librarian Sri Tancate tells me it’s
great fun. Bring your child and join in the
fun.
Father Petrie always asks if there
are birthdays or anniversary at the end
of Mass. At last week’s Mass, there were
six couples celebrating anniversaries, including Mr. and Mrs. Bicoy’s 58 years. I
didn’t get a chance to interview them for
their secrets to such a long life together
because everyone raced off to get kaukau
and talk with Father.
Aunty Kawila has started hula class-
es again. Thank goodness! I feel like such
a slug. She worked us really hard and for
the first time in a long time, my legs hurt.
That’s how out of shape I’m in!
I went to the Cookhouse for breakfast the other day. It was fun to visit with
Nan and Dusty, 2G and Bruce Yamashita.
Great kaukau. I love the pancakes because they use a special flour. Speaking
of pancakes, Goods and Grinds has their
fabulous banana pancakes, with big pieces of banana. An order comes with two
really big pancakes, enough to share with
another person.
Well, not much happening around
here the past couple of weeks, but there
are great events in the offing I know. I’ll
leave you with this: “A sure cure for sea
sickness is to sit under a tree.”

Column by Jesse Church
Aloha my fellow
veterans and residents of Molokai, old
Jesse here with all the
veterans news and
upcoming
events.
For November’s presidential election, soldiers will be able to vote by
absentee ballot no matter where they
are stationed. This practice dates
back to the 1864 presidential election between George B. McClellan
and incumbent Abraham Lincoln.
With about one million soldiers under arms in the Civil War, federal and
state governments were pressed to
establish a workable system of absentee voting. Several states responded
by enacting laws that authorized soldiers to vote by proxy and many field
commanders allowed their troops to
briefly return home to vote. Archives
indicate 154,000 troops voted absentee, with 78 percent voting for Lincoln and 22 percent for McClellan.
Lincoln won the election by 450,000
popular votes and 191 electoral votes.
It is important for soldiers, families and army civilians stationed
stateside or overseas who want to
vote by absentee ballot in the Nov.
6 election to make sure they are registered with a local election office.
Most soldiers vote by absentee ballot, said Lt. Col. Paul Amrhein, chief
of the soldier programs branch of
Human Resources Command. More
than 150,000 soldiers and thousands
of family members, civilian employ-
ees and army contractors are serving
overseas today. Officials say these
people need to act now to ensure
their ballots make it to the polls on
time.
Lawmaker Gus Bilirakis said
that no veteran should be forgotten
and every veteran should be buried
with dignity. The burial of a World
War II veteran in a cardboard box at
a Florida cemetery has led to the introduction of legislation that requires
the government to provide a casket or
urn for veterans who lack the money
for burial and funeral expenses. We
send Rep. Bilirakis a big mahalo for
his action and hope more lawmakers
will take his lead.
Just a reminder that John Candello, Veterans Services Counselor,
will be at the office of Hawaiian Affairs the first two Thursdays of every
month from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. His
next visit will be on Sept. 6 and 7.
Please call 553-3611 to schedule an
appointment.
If anyone has any questions,
suggestion, news or would just like
to talk, please give old Jesse a call at
553-3323. I’d like to thank everyone
for your support of our troops around
the world, especially those men and
women in harm’s way. For all they
do for us we send them a big mahalo,
and to our veterans for all they have
done and to the people of Molokai for
all your support. Have a wonderful
week, and remember that old Jesse
loves you all. Until next week, Aloha.

A Chop Suey of Issues
Wind is a no win on Molokai. Kahuku
wind farm turbines are idle and collecting
rust, dust and more tax payers’ cash. Its
electric storage facility burned. The cost of
repair is unfair to taxpayers. Do the electric
companies and politicians care?
Molokai Ranch, Pattern and all John
Does involved are trying to develop an
industrial wind farm on Molokai. Stop
already. Lots of pilikia --trouble, --environmental and cultural issues, lawsuit costs
and more suggest they should find another way for a brighter day. The corn seed
company has been on Molokai some fifty
years. They have been a big part of local
economy and employ hundreds of Molokai residents. Companies like Monsanto
and Mycogen are required by state and
federal agencies to be vigilant about health
and environmental concerns for the Molokai community. There are too many Erin
Brockovich lawyers that would be after the
corporations’ pockets if their operations
jeopardized public health or safety. Our
farmers have been having problems with
deer damaging the crops. A deer ate a row
of my growing tomato plants so I ate the
deer. It is time to thin out the deer population, so Molokai, eat teriyaki deer meat and
make chop suey.
Mahalo to Billy Moore, Laslo Toth,
Dobie Enoka and Larry Kahale for helping
with taping the dry wall in the new Molokai Veterans Center. Great job!

Mahalos for Àha Wahine
Po’opua’a Kanoelani Davis of
Ka Pa Hula O Hina I Ka Po La’ila’i is
amazingly creative and shares her wisdom of Hawaiian and Molokai culture
with everyone.
The oli and hula dedicated to
MolokainuiaHina, created by Kanoe,
were sacred, spiritual, and rich with
Hawaiian tradition. It was an honor
to practice them for that special day!
We also gathered la’i and kukui leaves
to make lei and various natural kinolau for the Hoòkupu to place on the
ahu. While prepping the lei, kihei and
kikepa, we practiced our chants. All of
this was a big gift of mana.
Participants came from all different backgrounds -young and old, nonU.S. citizens, Hawaiians and westerners, advanced and first-time dancers,
mothers and grandmothers. We were
all wahine. By the end of our journey,
we discovered that we are connected
--our “pili”. The whole experience was
empowering and it healed our hearts.
Special mahalo to Kanoe Davis and
Ohana, Catie Brind, Anjalie Graham,
Stephanie Napoli, Traci Stevenson, Cedric Alonzo, DJ Pelekai, Keone Chin,

On behalf of our son Levi Horner-Villa,
we would like to thank all who have supported his baseball venture. He represented
Hawaii in the annual “Aquafina Pitch Hit

the Major League Baseball (MLB) Angels
Team Championships. It was an awesome,
fun and unforgettable experience. We would
also like to thank all who brought plates and
participated in his ball signing at Coffees of
Hawaii. A special thanks to the Horner, Villa
