hile Molokai is an island rich
with skilled paddlers, members
from one canoe club in particular
–Waàkapaemua –has been making quite
the splash this season. Last weekend, both
the men’s and women’s teams competed
in the annual Pailolo Challenge, which
spans the 26-mile channel between West
Maui and South Molokai. The men took
first in the Men’s open division and a close
second in the overall race with a time of
2:55:33, while the women came in seventh
in the Women’s open division with a time
of 3:46:33.
Molokai Canoe Club also competed
in the Men’s open division, finishing with
a time of 3:40:42.
Waàkapaemua Women
There’s more to paddling than just
being in the water, according to women’s
team captain Tiana Miguel, who has been
paddling for over 20 years. In addition to
training in the canoe, the women also do
cardio and aerobic conditioning, from long
runs to pulling tires to ab workouts.
“We’re small in stature, so we have to
train extra hard to keep up with some of
the other Maui teams,” she said.
There are currently 12 women on
the team, who range in age from 20 to 37.
While each individual woman carries extensive paddling experience, this is only
the second year the team has been paddling together as a group, according to
Miguel.
“It’s hard because we’re all young
moms, and some of us work or are in college, so finding the time to practice and
train is tough. It’s the biggest challenge,”
she explained.
The team trains Monday, Tuesday
and Thursday afternoons, and some Saturdays as big races approach. Miguel said
that it is this rigorous training regimen enforced by their coach, Keola Kino, which
has led to their success this season.
“We train a lot harder this year, with
not only paddling but with cardio,” said
Miguel. “We never knew we could do so
well, but…once we got that first taste [of
victory] and came in second, we all just
want it more.”
The women’s team placed second in
both the Queen Kaàhumanu Maliko Race
and the Dutchy Kino Memorial Classic,
both on Maui last month. On Sept. 3, they
placed tenth out of 130 teams at the Queen
Liliùokalani Race in Kona.
Miguel hopes the Waà women’s success this year will draw more women paddlers next year. If there are more people
who try out, there will be more competition to push everyone to be better, she said.
Until then, Miguel and her teammates are focusing on the last and biggest
race of their season –the Na Wahine O Ke
Kai, an annual all-womens race across the
Kaìwi Channel between Molokai and
Oahu on Sunday, Sept. 23.
“Now that we know our potential,
I just want to train even harder,” said
Miguel. “It feels good to go to that podium.”
Waàkapaemua Men
It has been a landmark season for the
men paddlers, who have placed in all four
races they’ve competed in this season.
In addition to their recent victory at
the Pailolo Challenge, the men took first at
the Great Kahakuloa Race, second at the
Dutchy Kino Memorial Classic and third
out of 150 competing teams at the Queen
Liliùokalani Race earlier this month.

Boxing in the Home Ring
F
or the first time in over 30 years, young
Molokai boxers will be able to slip
on their gloves and hear their name
chanted as they face off in front of friends
and family on their home island. Old timers remember the last boxing matches held
on Molokai in the 1980s, but this weekend,
the Molokai Southside Boxing Club will
host the first USA Boxing-sanctioned amateur event on the island that anyone can
recall. The event is drawing fighters ages
8 to 24 from around the state for 21 confirmed bouts.
For Molokai youth, the Molokai
Southside Boxing Invitational is a chance
to compete on their home turf and gain
valuable experience in the ring, which
Molokai Fruit Stand
markets local produce
A
few months ago, Kalamaula
Homesteader and third generation farmer Gene Ross Davis
found himself in a predicament. His
tomato crops had yielded too many tomatoes for on-island consumption, but
not enough to ship off-island. In order
for it to be profitable for him to ship his
tomatoes for sale off-island, he would
need enough to fill an entire palate of
25-pound boxes –nearly 500 pounds total of tomatoes.
With the help of his
wife Rosie, Davis found another way to
market his produce –he opened a fruit
and vegetable stand on his property last
week.
“This is the most ideal situation,”
he said. “I can market from my yard
and continue to farm every day.”
His farm, covering just under five
acres, was passed down from his grandparents, who were among the first Hawaiian Homesteaders in the 1920s.
Davis grows tomatoes, bell peppers, cilantro, zucchini, green beans,
citrus fruit, papaya and “whatever else
is in season.” This produce, along with
seedlings and young trees from his
farm that he pots for sale, make up a
large portion of his fruit stand offerings.
Nearly everything else, from avocados
to eggplants, is supplied by friends and

This Week’s
First sanctioned amateur event on Molokai this weekend
By Catherine Cluett | Editor-in-Chief
Fruit of the
Land
is limited because traveling to off-island
sanctioned events is so expensive. But despite the challenges, Molokai Southside
boxers are no strangers to the competitive
scene.
Since the club’s inception in 2008, its
members have made a name for themselves, bringing home wins at a variety
of events. One of the club’s standouts is
15-year-old Hunter Manaba, who competed at the Junior Olympics in June and the
Ringside World Championships in Missouri in August.
For Hunter, the upcoming event “just
feels like another fight,” but being on his
own turf does change his attitude.
“This time, it’s going to feel more at
home, more supportive -- I won’t feel like
an outsider,” he said. “[Being home] gets
me pumped, hearing my name [in the audience.]”
He called it “inspiring” to be a part of
the first Molokai event in so long.
For 15-year-old Michaiah Soares,
however, fighting at home means “more
pressure -- you gotta win in front of family.” With three fights already under his
belt, he said facing off on Molokai will
“feel good,” though.
Molokai Southside coach Tomasito
Manangan, who started boxing at the
age of 8, recalls how there used to be local matches almost every weekend. While
the youth he now coaches, including his
10-year-old son, haven’t had the same opportunities, he said there is a lot to look
forward to this weekend.
On top of that list will be “the

Country Fair for the

atholic parishioners on Molokai
have been planning and fundraising
for a new church since 1995. Now
that the worship structure is a reality, the
fundraising efforts haven’t stopped -- one
of the St. Damien Parish’s biggest annual
events was held last Saturday. This year’s
Country Fair at the Mitchell Pauole Center
had a fundraising goal of $12,000, according
to church secretary Rose Brito.
“[The Country Fair’s] purpose is to
pay off our beautiful church,” said Brito.
Even with years of fundraising, the
parish still has over $1.4 million in loans to

years, said that this year, their goal was to
become the best crew in Maui County.
“We beat out Hawaiian [Canoe Club]
this year, and hopefully will be able to
trump Primo, the team to beat in Maui
County,” said Dudoit. The team bested
Hawaiian, one of the best teams in Maui,
in the Great Kahakuloa Race last month,
which is the first time they have beaten
them in over 30 years, according to team
member Clint Labrador.
The 15-member men’s team began
training for this season in October of last
year, starting with one day a week and then
progressing to their current regimen of five
afternoons per week. In addition to hours
of paddling, they practice swim drills, conditioning exercises and sprints.
pay off on the new church, said Joan Lasua,
the church’s finance chair.
The Country Fair featured a silent auction, plate lunches and baked goods, plant
sale and lucky number drawings with cash
prizes and a grand prize of a vacation package to Vegas. Pictured above, community
members hover over silent auction items
before the auction’s closing.
“People have worked so hard to make
this happen,” said Brito, adding that most
of the items were donated by parish and
community members. “We want to thank
the community for its participation.”
Extended training hours have led to a
close-knit team, which Dudoit insists is the
key to this group’s success.
“You can be superman, but if you’re
not bonding with the crew, it ain’t going to
happen,” he said. “Bonding is just as important as being in shape.”
When they are not paddling, the team
may be found cleaning yards around the
island to raise funds for the club. This year,
they have already made about $5,000, most
of which goes toward entry fees for the races. They want to be able to do more races
so that they are better prepared for the big
ones like Pailolo and Molokai Hoe, according to Dudoit.
The team’s next race is the 59th annual Molokai Hoe, which spans the 26-milelong Kaìwi Channel between Molokai and
Oahu. Over 1,000 paddlers from all over
the world are expected to compete in this
year’s race, which will be held on Sunday,
Oct. 7.

very year, about 2,500 people venture to hike the Appalachian Trail, a
2,184-mile long path along America’s
east coast that begins at Springer Mountain
in Georgia and ends at Mount Katahdin
in Maine. Only 20 percent of these hikers
actually finish the trail from end-to-end,
becoming thru-hikers, or long distance hikers. Among these, Molokai resident Fred
Clews, 66, who completed the trail earlier
this year.
Clews, whose nickname amongst fellow hikers was “Granddad,” started the
hike on March 3 at Springer Mountain
in Georgia and reached the finish at Mt.
Katahdin on July 10. While most hikers
take around six months to complete the
trail, Clews finished in four months and
one week. As part of his strategy to avoid
the humidity of the summer months, he
planned to go at a faster pace. For the last
stretch of the trail, he remembers beginning
his day at 4 a.m. and hiking until the sun
set, usually around 8 p.m. On average, he
hiked 20 miles each day.
When asked if at any point he ever
thought about giving up, Clews laughs.
“Not really,” he said. “It really took a
lot of focus to not be attached to how much
my feet hurt or how many rocks there were,
but I always found something to stay occupied, whether it was singing songs or thinking about people I just met or the people
who I would meet next.”
Clews said his favorite memories of
his hike will be of the people he met along
the way.
“There’s a huge support system that
happens along the trail,” he said. “Four
million people touch the Appalachian Trail
each year, most are day or weekend hikers,
and it’s always exciting to see them.”
He also came across “trail angels,” or
people who would leave food and supplies
in coolers alongside remote parts of the trail
for hikers in need. One of the most poignant memories for Clews was on Easter
morning, after he had been on the trail for
about a month. He was nearly out of water
and, with the next available water source 11
miles away, he had begun to get discouraged. Just then, he came across one of these
coolers, where he was able to replenish his
water supply. Being primarily concerned
about only the necessities, he had almost
overlooked the Easter eggs that were nestled in the cooler.
“We’re all so impressed with not just
his physical capability, but mental capability to get up every morning and put one foot
in front of another,” said Clew’s friend and

Molokai resident Marcia Allison. “[Even] if
you’re 20, that’s a big deal, but when you’re
sixty-something, it’s a really big deal.”
Clews said he started training in July
of last year. Though he had always enjoyed
going for long walks, Clews had no former
experience in hiking long distances or even
sleeping outdoors. He started modestly,
hiking five miles around Kawela every
other day carrying a five-pound backpack,
eventually working his way up to hiking 20
miles every other day carrying a 30-pound
pack. Because he planned ahead, he was
able to eliminate excess weight from his
pack by hand-sewing most of his materials,
including two sleeping quilts and a tarp.
The pack he carried, along with food and
water, never weighed more than 30 pounds.
“He was so engaged with getting
ready to do this, hiking for eight hours a day
and sewing all his gear,” said wife Connie
Clews. “What he did required a lot of dedication and perseverance and he had to do it
in his mind, and he did.” Over the course
of the hike, Connie sent a total of 25 care
packages from Molokai with shoes, socks
and over 200 pounds of food, dropped at
various pickup locations in towns along the
trail.
Upon reaching the top of Mount Katahdin, Clews said he felt “very strong and
a huge sense of accomplishment and relief
that it was over.”
“I would do it again,” said Clews. “It
was really a wonderful experience; it’s hard
to sum it up.”
Clews said there is a definite possibility of completing another long distance
hike in the future. He will attend a conference hosted by the American Long Distance
Hiking Association (ALDHA) at the end of
this month in Oregon to exchange stories
with other thru-hikers.
fruit stand
fellow homestead farmers.
Davis buys produce from friends
at wholesale rates, and then sells it
from his fruit stand at affordable prices.
“As a farmer, it’s one thing to
grow everything but it’s another thing
to go and sell it,” said Davis. “A lot of
small homestead farmers always have
[enough] for the home but don’t have
any market for their excess, so I help
with that.”
“For people in town, this is a lot
closer than Kumu Farms, so it’s convenient for us and we don’t have to wait
till Saturday to get fresh fruits [at the
Kaunakakai market],” said resident
Desiree Cabreros, who stopped by Davis’ homestead to pick up some produce. “It’s all about trying to help the
ones who grow over here.”
Providing the community with
quality produce is one of Davis’ top
priorities.
“This is a means of keeping some

ple,” he said. “[This way], you know
what you’re eating --your own products, island products.” It also provides
local farmers with an outlet for offgrade produce, while simultaneously
offering goods at cheaper prices, he
added.
Davis also offers produce boxes at
$20 each, with delivery available upon
request. Each box contains 10 varieties
of produce ranging from lettuce, potatoes, green beans, apples and whatever
else is in stock.
The fruit and vegetable stand is located at Davis’ residence at Kalamaula
Homestead. It is open six days a week,
from Mondays to Fridays from 10 a.m.
to 5:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8
a.m. to noon.

A Running Start
MHS’s cross country runners gain experience at MIL meet
S
even of the 14 girls from Molokai High School’s (MHS) cross
country team traveled to Hana
for the season’s third Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) Meet on Saturday.
Though none of the girls placed, the
runners, who were all freshmen, got
their first taste at competing in a cross
country meet.
“I was proud of them because they
gave it their best effort and that’s all I could
ask for,” said Coach Eugene Santiago.
They started training five weeks ago,
running for about three miles every practice at various locations like Ironwood Golf
Course, the track at MHS, the fields at Coffees of Hawaii and along the highway.
Santiago said the biggest challenge
this season has been as much mental as it
has physical. He said that because many
students are freshman, they have limited
experience running longer distances, and
as such often end up walking.
“We’ve been working on reprogramming their minds so that every time they’re
tempted to walk, they’re reminded to try
not to and go beyond it,” said Santiago.
At Saturday’s meet, Jennifer Costales
Sanchez finished with a time of 31:39, Katelyn Emia with 31:40, Oceana Madani with
32:36, Kori-Lee Dourin with 33:56, Rainbow E. Kee with 37:03, Christine Aquino
with 37:05 and Misty Parker with 37:06.
Their next meet will be the Seabury
Invitational on Maui on Sept. 29. The boys’
cross country team, coached by Gandharva
Ross, will compete at the Westside Invitational at Kapalua, Hawaii Island on Sept.
22.
Santiago would like to thank Kim Svetin
for donating two roundtrip ferry tickets so that
two additional girls could travel to compete in
the meet.

To Honor and Remember
By Jennifer Whitted
On Tuesday, Sept. 11, Kaunakakai
School invited Molokai’s First Responders to a student-led, school wide assembly.
There, students honored police officers,
fire fighters and EMTs with patriotic lei, a
9/11 tribute video, a solo performance by
Taye Mowat singing God Bless the USA,
and a hearty breakfast. We feel it is important for our students to learn about this
historical and tragic event and remember
to honor the First Responders that serve
our island every day.
The students in this picture are
members of the 2012-2013 Student Council: Kaitlyn DeRouin, Mealii Kalani, Azhlyn Kaàpuhi Hirata, Kilani Afelin, Taye
Mowat, Reese Raguindin, Sunni Chow,

Monsanto News Release
The Monsanto Hawaii Science Education Fund helps provide Hawaii public
schools with programs, tools, supplies and
equipment to enhance science education in
the schools, and encourage today’s students
to consider a future career in the sciences.
Applications are now being accepted for the
Monsanto Fund grant. The program is open
to public schools serving students at the intermediate, high school and college grade levels
on the islands of Oahu, Maui and Molokai.
Established in 2005, the program has
awarded more than $133,000 to public
schools throughout the state to date. Monsanto’s recent round of grants supported a

all their hard work, with the crowd getting
excited -- it doesn’t even matter who wins
or loses,” he said.
Not all the competitors will be boys.
Hunter’s younger sister, 11-year-old Lahilahi Manaba, is one of the club’s female
fighters and the only girl who will be facing off this weekend in her first fight.
She said before her match, she will
“think about staying planted and winning.”
“I look forward to being able to get
experience,” she added.
Lahilahi is also excited to don her
fighting apparel. “I’m going to be a colorful fighter -- I’ll be wearing orange, red,
pink and black.”
The Event
The Molokai Southside Boxing Invitational will be held on Saturday, Sept. 22
at the Molokai High School Barn, with the
first bout starting at 4 p.m. The event has
drawn participants from 11 clubs on Hawaii Island, Maui and Oahu, as well as
Molokai’s three boxing clubs: Southside,
TNT Molokai and Morroc’s.
Jersula Manaba, who is co-coordinating the event with her husband Dedric,
said the event has drawn a lot of community support and excitement. With a focus
on youth and their accomplishments in the
sport, along with the close supervision of
10 officials coming over from the Oahubased Local Boxing Commission (LBC),
the event promises to be a family-friendly,
community event. Manaba said police
as robotics programs, an aquaponics garden,
land stewardship program, and supplies and
equipment for chemistry and biology classes.
Grant applications are accepted and
reviewed twice a year. The next application
deadline is Oct. 6. Applications can be downloaded online at monsanto.com/hawaii or by
contacting any one of Monsanto’s farm stations on Molokai 808-553-5070.
The Monsanto Fund, the philanthropic
arm of the Monsanto Company, is a not-forprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the farm communities where farmers
and Monsanto Company employees live and
work. Visit the Monsanto Fund at monsantofund.org.
and fire personnel will also be on-site, and
no alcohol, drugs, smoking or swearing is
permitted.
“Everyone has an opportunity to look
at the values of respect and friendship -it’s a sport of gaining friends,” said TNT
coach John Kelly, who will have two boys
from his club fighting in the event. “It’s a
great opportunity for youth to show their
skills -- it’s all about the kids.”
“Because there have been no sanctioned matches on Molokai, we’ve had
to take the club off-island,” said Manaba.
“We could only afford three trips in the
past year.”
Manaba said boxers need five bouts
under their belt before they can compete
nationally, and for Southside youth, travel
expenses to fight in sanctioned bouts have
been a major hurdle. With the goal of holding more Molokai events in the future,
she said LBC officials will be staying on
the island an extra day to hold a clinic to
certify Molokai residents to officiate future
matches. Interested community members
can register Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon
at the High School or at the clinic held on
Sunday at 10 a.m. at Home Pumehana
Room 1.
Along with bringing the sport of boxing back to Molokai and offering youth
an opportunity to show their skills, the
Invitational is also a fundraising effort for
the 23-member Molokai Southside club.
Manaba said profits will be earmarked for
travel and new equipment for the club.
Tickets can be purchased from club
members ahead of time, or at the door: $30
for ringside seats, $20 for general admission, $12 for students and free for keiki
under age 5. Club T-shirts and concessions
will also be available.

Raising Suicide Awareness This Month
By Dr. Stephanie Napoli, Behavioral
Health Director, MCHC
A boy’s girlfriend just broke up with
him. His parents tell him “I told you so.”
His classmates gossip and laugh about it on
Facebook. His best friend is too busy with his
own girlfriend to talk. The boy isolates in his
room and thinks, “I wish I was dead. I might
as well be. Nobody cares.”
Alone, empty, rageful, worthless,
STOP
trapped in nothingness. These are just
some of the words people use to describe
how they feel as they consider suicide.
These are also some of the words people
use to describe how they feel when a
loved one does take his or her own life.
September is suicide awareness and
prevention month, and it’s important to
remember that suicide devastates our
whole community. Hawaii’s youth at-
tempt suicide at twice the national average. One in five teenagers has seriously
considered suicide in the past year.
The boy’s aunty notices he is not at
lunch and goes to his room to check on him.
She talks with the boy, who says, “You’d all
be better off without me.” The aunty asks
him, “Are you thinking of killing yourself?”
As the boy nods, he breaks down into tears.
Aunty hugs him, reassures him that he is
loved and that the hurt will pass. “Until it
does,” Auntie says, “I’m here.” Aunty takes
the young man to a therapist for a crisis appointment. He is able to talk about how terrible he is feeling and somehow, he feels a
little better that now two people care enough
to listen.
Each and every person in our Molokai ohana is too precious to lose needlessly, and we can all be part of the solu-
tion. Take suicidal thoughts, comments,
or threats seriously and get help immediately -- for yourself, your loved one, your
friend, your neighbor, your classmate, or
your coworker.
Also look for feelings of hopelessness or having no reason to live, feeling
trapped or in unbearable pain (physical
or emotional), talking about being a burden to others, increased use of alcohol or
drugs, self-destructive or reckless behavior,
isolation, mood swings, and giving away personal items or saying goodbye.
The pain, hopelessness, and helplessness
that make you consider suicide are temporary.
Don’t act on suicidal thoughts. Instead, get
help. There is hope.
Call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) any time or
make an appointment with a local Behavioral
Health provider as soon as possible.

cal omens, you’re in a phase when you should be quite
content to shoot for a spot in the Post. Please apply that
same principle to everything you do.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): According to the Asian
spiritual traditions of Tantra and Taoism, it’s unhealthy
for a man to have too many ejaculatory orgasms. Doing so
depletes his vital energy, and can lead to depression and
malaise. But medical researchers in the West have come to
the exact opposite conclusion: The more climaxes men have,
the better. According to them, frequent sex even promotes
youthfulness and longevity. So who to believe? Here’s what
I think: Every man should find out for himself by conducting his own experiments. As a general rule, I recommend the
empirical approach for many other questions as well -- and
especially right now for Libran people of all genders. Rather
than trusting anyone’s theories about anything, find out for
yourself.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): For every trillion dollars the
U.S. government spends on the military, it creates about
11,000 jobs. That same expenditure, if directed toward education, creates 27,000 jobs. Personally, I’d rather have the
taxes I pay go to teachers than soldiers -- especially in light
of the fact that the U.S. spends almost as much money on its
military as all the other nations in the world combined spend
on theirs. I suggest that in the coming months you make a
metaphorically similar move, Aries. Devote more of your time
and energy and resources to learning, and less to fighting.
Ironically, doing that will ultimately diminish the fighting
you have to do. As you get more training and wisdom, you’ll SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The 19th-century Norwegian

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Hello Dear One: My name is
Lorita. I am a beautiful heartfelt woman from Libya. I was
browsing online through the long night when I came across
your shiny dark power, and now I must tell you that I am
quite sure you and I can circle together like sun and moon. It
would give me great bliss for us to link up and make a tender
story together. I await your reply so I can give you my secret
sweetness. - Your Surprise Soulmate.” Dear Soulmate: Thank
you for your warm inquiry. However, I must turn you down.
Because I was born under the sign of Cancer the Crab, I have
to be very careful to maintain proper boundaries; I can’t allow
myself to be wide open to every extravagant invitation I get,
especially from people I don’t know well. That’s especially
true these days. We Crabs need to be extra discriminating
about what influences we allow into our spheres.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Questions and more questions! Will
the monkey on your back jump off, at least for a while? Will
the sign of the zodiac that you understand least become an
X-factor in the unfolding plot? Will a cute distraction launch
you on what seems to be a wild goose chase -- until it leads
you to a clue you didn’t even know you were looking for?
Will a tryst in an unsacred space result in an odd boost to
your long-term fortunes? The answers to riddles like these
will be headed your way in the coming weeks. You’re at the
beginning of a phase that will specialize in alluring twists
and brain-teasing turns.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Want to submit a letter to the
editor of a major newspaper? The odds of you getting published in the influential Washington Post are almost three
times as great as in the super-influential New York Times.
The Post has a much smaller circulation, so your thoughts
there won’t have as wide an impact. But you will still be read
by many people. According to my reading of the astrologi-
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Where do you belong? Not
where you used to belong and not where you will belong in
the future, but where do you belong right now? The answer
to that question might have been murky lately, but the time
is ripe to get clear. To identify your right and proper power
spot, do these things: First, decide what experiences you
will need in order to feel loved and nurtured between now
and your birthday. Second, determine the two goals that are
most important for you to accomplish between now and
your birthday. And third, summon a specific vision of how
you can best express your generosity between now and your
birthday.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are you excited about your
new detachable set of invisible wings? They’re ready. To get
the full benefit of the freedom they make available, study
these tips: 1. Don’t attach them to your feet or butt; they
belong on your shoulders. 2. To preserve their sheen and
functionality, avoid rolling in the muddy gutter while you’re
wearing them. 3. Don’t use them just to show off. 4. It’s OK
to fly around for sheer joy, though. 5. Never take them off in
mid-flight.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You know that leap of faith
you’re considering? Now would be a good time to rehearse
it, but not do it. How about that big experiment you’ve been
mulling over? Imagine in detail what it would be like to go
ahead, but don’t actually go ahead. Here’s my third question,
Pisces: Have you been thinking of making a major commitment? My advice is similar to the first two issues: Research all
of its ramifications. Think deeply about how it would change
your life. Maybe even formulate a prenuptial agreement or
the equivalent. But don’t make a dramatic dive into foreverness. Not yet, at least. This is your time to practice, play, and
pretend.

Aloha, Aunty here…
Cookie Brown stopped
by the Dispatch to let
me know that AARP has
their meetings the first
Wednesday of the month.
She says that the speaker
for next month will be interesting and asked all you to attend.
OK, with all my aches and pains, I decided that I need more movement to get limbered up so I am taking chair Zumba. Who
knew that sitting in a chair doing the movements would make you perspire so much? I
really recommend it. The kumu for the class
is great fun and very good. We even singalong with the music. After class is finished
we can eat lunch which is $2.
Speaking of lunch, I found that the
kitchen at the Hospital has a new offering
of a salad bar every first Wednesday of the
month. I hear it is excellent.
Mahana Nursery has movie night every other Saturday. What a cool event! The
first movie we saw was “The Gods Must
Be Mad” which I thought I’d die laughing,
and then the next was “Red Dog.” Oh man,
I just can’t handle movies about animals

so at the end I was trying to hide my sobs
when I looked at a gentleman in front of me
wiping his eyes. Not only do we get a free
movie, but we get all we can eat free popcorn. FYI, though, you have to bring your
chair and any liquid you want to drink. The
next movie on Sept. 22 is “The Magnificent
Marigold Hotel.”
On Wednesday, Sept. 15, Sri TenCate,
the librarian, found the Molokai Public Library sign detached from the post on the
front lawn. This is a Hawaii Visitor and
Convention Bureau marker decorated with
a Hawaiian warrior logo. It might have been
damaged/vandalized after the library was
closed on Tuesday. Don’t understand why
these things are happening. Sri has filed a
police report.
Speaking of the library, I have just read
the most wonderful book by Mitch Albom
called “The Time Keeper,” which will make
you think about how you spend your time.
Mr. Albom also wrote “The Five People You
Meet in Heaven.” If you’ve read this book
you’ll know, “The Time Keeper” is great.

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.
Why does the Army authorize
generals to have official flags bearing
their rank? Simply put, the flags mark
the location of high-ranking leaders.
The tradition began in the late 1800s
as a way for generals in the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers to band
boats under their command, according to the Army’s Institute of Heraldry. Near the turn of the 19th century,
the Army began allowing generals to
display flags on Navy vessels during official visits, and by the 1920s,
one-stars and above were approved
automobile, field and office flags. In
1947, the Army ordered that scarlet
flags with white stars would stand
for generals of all branches, except
for those in the medical and chaplain
corps, whose flags were to be colored
maroon and purple, respectively. No
more than one general officer flag
may fly outside a building at a single
time, the institute said.
It smells like victory for Gabe,
the pound puppy who became a
bomb-sniffing military dog. In the
American Humane Association hero
dog competition, Gabe, now retired,
won in the military dog category.
He is expected to be considered for
“Dog of the Year” title against seven
dogs in other categories. Gabe, who
found insurgent bombs, guns and
ammunition in Iraq with handler
Sgt. 1st Class Chuck Shuck, was one
of dozens of military dogs in consideration. He received the most online
votes when the voting ended July 1.
Shuck, a drill sergeant leader at Fort
Jackson, S.C.’s Drill Sergeant School,
said voting for the Hero Dog Awards
ends Oct. 5. Winners in each of the
eight categories received $5,000 for
their charities. The overall top dog
earns another $10,000 for its charity.
Gabe represents the U.S. War Dog
Association, a nonprofit organization
of former and current U.S. military
dog handlers and supporters. The
money will help the organization pay
for care packages of protective gear
and toys for deployed dogs and their
handlers.
A ceremony was held at Marine
Corps Base Hawaii on Monday, Aug.
27 to honor Sgt. William S. Harris Jr.
USMC retired, and some 100 other
Montford Point marines who were
unable to attend the original ceremony held in Washington, D.C. At the
ceremony last week at Marine Corps
Base Hawaii, Sgt. Harris received his
due when Lt. Col. Carolyn Bird bestowed upon him the Congressional
Gold Medal. The Gold Medal is the
highest civilian honor bestowed by
Congress for distinguished achievement. The U.S. President signed into
law the legislation to award the Congressional Gold Medal to the Montford Point Marines on Nov. 23, 2011.
This award recognizes the Montford
Point Marine contributions to the
Marine Corps and the wider American society. Sgt. Harris, your fellow
veterans and residents send you a
big mahalo for a job well done, and
Molokai is proud of you.
If anyone has any questions,
suggestions, news or would just like
to talk, please give old Jesse a call at
553-3323. To all of my fellow veterans
and residents of Molokai, I hope you
have wonderful week, and remember that old Jesse loves you all. Until
next week, Aloha.

WMA Opposes Big Wind/Undersea Cable Project
West Molokai Association News
Release
The Board of Directors of the West
Molokai Association (WMA), representing
the owners of 811 West Molokai properties,
has unanimously declared its “resolute opposition” to the proposed Big Wind industrial wind project and Hawaii Inter-Island
undersea cable, and stated it will take whatever steps necessary to halt the project.
The project would cover 17 square
miles of Molokai with industrial wind turbines 47 stories tall. It is being planned by
HECO, Molokai Ranch, Pattern Energy and
Bio-Logical Capital, and is backed by Gov.
Neil Abercrombie.
Noting that the project would “dramatically alter and irreversibly change West
Molokai’s rural character and pastoral environment,” the Board’s resolution added
that it would also result in increased electrical costs for Hawaiian residents, already
among the highest in the United States. In
fact, the law in question, SB 2785, recently
signed by Gov. Abercrombie, allows HECO
to raise homeowner rates through “an automatic rate adjustment clause” to pay for the
undersea cable, currently estimated to cost
$1 billion.
The project would entail, the resolution
stated, the industrialization of West Molokai
What’s Up Maunaloa
The Maunaloa
Community Park
is beginning to
show some life
again. A few tables
in memory of their
loved ones who
have passed on
have been placed at the park. We are
hoping for six to eight tables donated and made by various families of
Maunaloa.
After the community cleanup
day by the Heart of Aloha Ministry,
there is still a lot of work that needs to
be done. Without water, the park cannot get green again, without parts for
the toilets that have been repeatedly
abused, broken, smashed and covered
with graffiti, we are still a long way
from getting it completed and looking
good again.
So here is my proposal to anyone
out there. Our basketball court needs
to be redone and repainted, toilets
repaired, and grass need to be watered so I will again talk to Molokai
Ranch. Let’s do a time frame here and
try to get this park going by the end
of this year. So can I get some help
here? Here is my email if you would
like to kokua towards this community
park for Maunaloa at kehaunani52@
gmail.com. Come and join us under
The Tree of Life every Saturday for a
morning of fellowship and uplifting
in the Lord, starts at 9 a.m. on Unahe
Street. Just look for the people sitting
under the tree and please bring a comfortable chair and warm jacket.
On Dec. 8, the Maunaloa Elementary School will be doing an electric
parade and a Wee Miss, Little Miss,
Miss Paniolo Cowgirl and Master
Paniolo Cowboy Pageant. Ages will
be from 2 to 4, 5 to 7 and 8 to 11. Limit
to five per category. So if you’re interested and would like an application email me or call Kalani Pagan for
more information at Maunaloa School
at 552-2000.
Sending a Happy Anniversary
to my long-time love of my life of
42 years, and a happy 50th anniversary to my dear friends Ron and
Mary Nealey. Don’t forget to support
our Kanemitsu Bakery in their opening of their bakery, sign the petition!
Also, no windmills on the west end
and that is my own personal manaò.
In closing, I leave this thought of the
day: “Prayer is the key to heaven but
faith unlocks the door.” A hui hou
and God bless.

favor. Two surveys last year across Molokai
found opposition first at 93 percent, which
then grew to 97 percent, with again only one
percent in favor.
WMA will work closely with I Aloha
Molokai (IAlohaMolokai.com), a widelysupported Molokai citizens’ group that has
been fighting the project for over a year, and
with the residents of Maunaloa, which will
be surrounded on two sides by the wind

and Maunaloa, involving years of construction, dust and erosion, the building of miles
of new roads, transmission lines, buried
cables, inverter stations and other facilities
on fragile lands sacred to Hawaiians and
internationally known for their beauty and
as habitats for rare and endangered species.
The project would also require, the
Board said, the development of a deepwater port in sensitive coastal zones and high
voltage cables across the Hawaiian National
Humpback Whale Sanctuary and Molokai
Reef, the world’s largest and most pristine
coral reef north of Australia.

Greetings Home from
Morocco
By Diane Abraham
I left our beloved island home to
journey on an adventure to a school outside the city limits of Casablanca, Morocco on the northern coast of Africa. This is
an adventure in geography, culture, and
to some extent, endurance. With the political uprisings here and in the surrounding areas, things are a bit tense for all U.S.
citizens, so pule for me is welcomed!
Nonetheless, I remain invigorated
as a teacher, still teaching fourth grade
as I did at my much-missed school of
Kualapuù. Children have the same
needs, and the same antics, no matter
where they are on the globe. They need
love, structure, guidance and nurturing.
The student population here at my school
keeps me on my toes (as if my haumana
at Kualapuù didn’t!) English is their third
language, with either Arabic or French being their home languages. I have taken a
bit of Arabic language lessons, so I know
some things to say, but my French has become 100 percent more proficient. I even
have been booking airline tickets for travel to nearby Spain on a deeply discounted
French website! And on parents’ night,
the translator provided by the school left
me on my own, so at least communication
is not an issue.
The cultural differences are amazing; some women cover themselves from
head to toe, wrist to ankle. Others pay
that custom no mind. Donkeys inhabit
the roads along with Mercedes taxis. Vegetable and fruit stands line the streets in
Casablanca, next to high rise, high end
condominiums; in short, life here is a dichotomy of styles and customs. Along
with digesting all of this, I am sharing our
island’s aloha with fellow teachers and
students alike. I’ve brought dozens of lei
needles and taught how to make lei; I am
teaching words and phrases to the children to broaden their world knowledge.
In fact, the first Read Aloud I did was
Princess Kaiulani’s story, and it just began
to whet their young appetites.
I will endeavor to share more as my
adventure continues; meanwhile, like me
on Facebook and follow the photos! A hui
hou!
Since the responsibility of managing
and stewarding Moòmomi has returned to DHHL, we are open to input
and recommendations from the community to identify options and to help
determine the best way to care for this
resource today and into the future.
