espite the persistent rain, beauty queens kept their hair neat,
makeup
unblemished
and
dresses immaculate at the Lanikeha
Carnival and Beauty Pageant last Saturday. After all, the show must go on.
Fistfuls of glitter and shining costumes brightened the dreary day where
over 70 girls, ages zero to 18, showcased
their talent and beauty for a chance to be
crowned winner of their age division.
“It feels good to show other people
who you are and what you are talented
at,” said Young Miss winner Catherine
Merkel. “It’s good for us to work hard
for what we want.”
In response to numerous requests,
the pageant and carnival were brought
back by the Torres òhana after a decade-long hiatus.
“Parents who participated in this
event years ago wanted their children to have this experience,” said coorganizer Marlene
Hope is in
the Air
Sproat. “I am delighted with how successful the day was and how much fun
everyone had.”
Boys, ages zero to three, and girls
ages zero to eight graced the stage
with smiles and poise. Girls 10 and older
showed off ethnic wear and sportswear,
gave speeches, and shared their many talents to a panel of judges. Pictured below,
contestants in the Little Miss division give
one last smile during their final review.
“This is really good for the girls’
self-esteem and for the community,”
said Moani Melcher whose daughter
participated for the first time. “I don’t
think they will ever forget this.”
Before rain clouds covered the sky
pushing the pageant inside, food and
game booths lured participants to a carnival held in the parking lot. Jumping in
mud and
splashing through
puddles
quickly became
the entertainment of
choice
for keiki not
involved in the pageant.
“We were very fortunate to not
have to cancel the event – there would
have been a lot of unhappy beauty
queens,” Sproat said.
Winners of each age division include:
Baby Miss (0-12 mos.) Dailee-ann Angco,
Baby Master (0-12 mos.) Leedan Place, Wee
Miss (age 2) Kiralynn Hanaoka, Tiny Master (age 3) Kalawaia Kanuha, Tiny Miss
(age 3) Jasmine Johnston-Abafo, Mini Miss
(ages 4-6) Malia Grik – Lani, Little Miss
(ages 7-9) Kelsey Bicoy, Young Miss (ages
10-12) Catherine Merkel, Preteen (ages 1315) Apelila Tangonan, Miss Teen( ages 1618) Kachet Kaiama.
Marlene Sproat would like to thank sponsors DeLuna Equipment and Services, iCandies,
Minky Young, all of the pageant judges, Lenora
Espaniola, the Torres family, Esther Torres-Umi,
Phoebe Starky, Rosie Torres-Batara, and all of
their husbands for their patience throughout

acific Wings has withdrawn its
request for federal subsidies to
serve Kalaupapa, but two other
airlines want to save the isolated peninsula from high prices.
Makani Kai and Iolani Air currently provide tours throughout the
isles by helicopter and airplane, including Kalaupapa. But representatives
from both say they want to begin regular service to the peninsula for residents
and workers.
Richard Schuman, CEO of Makani
Air, said his airline would be able to offer round trip flights between Honolulu
and Kalaupapa for around $125. They
also offer a lower price from Honolulu
to Hoòlehua for $60 one-way.
The prices Iolani Air charges for
their tours of Kalaupapa would be
about the same as scheduled service
– around $140 round trip from topside
Molokai to the peninsula, according to R.D.
Stewart, general manager of Iolani Air.
Both airlines need to obtain a commuter’s license to serve Kalaupapa’s
residents. Schuman said his paperwork
is about 90 percent complete, and they
may be able to begin service as early as
next month.

olokai faces the highest electricity rates in the state, if not
the country, and many residents are at a loss for how to cut down
on their bill. While the state tries for
big-picture projects like wind farms,
local companies are giving residents
simple solutions.
“Molokai is a lot more innovative
than you’d think it’d be,” said Kalono
Ferreira of Pono-Solutions.
Pono-Solutions, a subsidiary organization of the state rebate program
Hawaii Energy, is now available on
Molokai to help people get the most
out of their energy systems by taking
advantage of these rebates.

Pono-Solutions work with customers
to make homes and businesses more
energy efficient – from light bulbs, to
air conditioners, to refrigerators and
water heaters.
Pono-Solutions will also hook
customers up with a local contractor
to service their needs.
Dennis Turner, owner of Outpost
Natural Foods store in Kaunakakai,
wants to stop paying for energy all

“We have a goal to get off the
grid,” Turner said.
He has built his own customlighting to cut down on costs and has
advice for others who are interested in
saving energy.
“People should keep the condensers clean on their refrigerators.

Providing Relief for Molokai
Homestead Farmers
By Rep. Mele Carroll
T
his session I introduced House
Bill 1483, which directs the Department of Agriculture (DOA)
to provide water to
Molokai Irrigation
System users who
lease tracts of land
at a reduced rate.
It also requires the
DOA to forgive past
due water bills for
the provision of irrigation water for Molokai homestead
farmers.
With this challenging economy,
the hardship of our Molokai homestead
farmers is real and I feel that we need
to provide some relief to our farmers so
they can continue to economically survive during these most trying times.
House Bill 1483 was advanced by
the Committee on Hawaiian Affairs on Feb.
4, and will now advance to Joint House Committees on Agriculture and Water, Land &
Ocean Resources for consideration.
The Molokai Irrigation Ditch was
created for the homesteaders to be used
for agricultural purposes, per an agreement made between the Department
of Hawaiian Home Lands, the homesteaders and the Department of Water
Supply. That agreement called for sufficient water be given to the homestead
farmers to be used for their farming. As
the years have progressed, the federal
mandate that homesteaders be given
two-thirds of the water allotment has
seemingly lost its strength or forgotten
altogether.
With current water costs to the
people of Molokai, it has become more
than some homestead families can endure and still be able to survive.
Testimony given during the hearing included that of the Department of
Land and Natural Resources (DLNR)
stating that, “this bill restores a benefit to
these lessees and we appreciate this, and
similar measures, that enable our agricultural lessees to be successful.”
The DLNR continued in saying,
“The department supports this measure provided that sufficient funding
is made available to the Department
of Agriculture to cover the operational
costs of the MIS. We recommend thorough discussion and consultation with
the Department of Agriculture (the lead
agency) and the MIS users to ensure this
reduced rate is pragmatic and sustainable.”
Additional testimony in favor of
House Bill 1483 came from the Àha
Kiòle Advisory Committee, who
strongly supported the bill saying in
written testimony, “Water is a critical
component to the needs of Native Hawaiians on Hawaiian Homestead lands
in Molokai and is desperately needed
for agricultural purposes and to actually survive. The Hawaiian Homes
Commission Act of 1920 specifically
was created to enable Native Hawaiians
to return to their lands and to promote
self-sufficiency. However, this self-sufficiency cannot be achieved without
water. On Molokai, the cost of water
is probably the highest in the state of
Hawai’i and the lack of it causes an extreme hardship for homestead farmers
who must depend on their farms to exist.
“Dependent on traditional resource management that balances the
ecosystem, the Àha Moku system is also
dependent on water. And, Native Hawaiian families who are descendant from the
original homestead farmers who live in
these five moku are in desperate need of
assistance now.”
With the severe economic impacts
facing Molokai and it’s residents on a
daily basis, the passing of House Bill
1483 will bring some much needed
relief by allowing the Department of
Hawaiian Homelands farmer lessee’s
whose very lives are dependent on the
availability of affordable water to continue to do so at a reduced rate. House
Bill 1483 also provides the necessary
financial relief that is imperative for
Molokai’s homestead farmers.
Kalaupapa cont. from page 1
Pacific Wings currently has Essential Air Service (EAS) with Kalaupapa,
which allows airlines to provide service to remote areas. Pacific Wings has
service in many Hawaiian airports, but
withdrew many of the services after issues with the Department of Transportation two years ago. Since losing part
of their customer base, they increased
their prices to the desolate peninsula,
causing anxiety for many of its residents that depend on air service.
If Pacific Wings had followed
through with its plan for using federal
subsidies, CEO Greg Kahlstorf said he
would have lowered their prices.
“What Pacific Wings has done is
not ethical,” Schuman said.
Neither Makani Air nor Iolani Air
are applying for federal subsides.
Schuman is confident he can run
his business charging customers on his
predicted prices.
“I can run my business with these
prices and I’m still making a profit,” Shuman said.

gather together a community, especially when it’s a family affair.
Prisca Bicoy Medeiros set up an art show
last Saturday at Home Pumehana with
the help of her talented ohana, as a fundraiser for their church.
“My inspiration comes from my father,” Medeiros said. “He was a poor fisherman. His idea of success was learning
how to enjoy the world.”
The art show was an opportunity for
the artists to show their work, but it was
also a fundraiser for St. Vincent’s Church in
Maunaloa, who’s inside needs a face lift.
The artwork varied among portraits,
under the sea and its creatures, Saint Damien, Kalaupapa and Bible-based sketches. Medeiros’ nephew Perry Buchaltar, an
art teacher at Molokai High School, niece
and Janeel T.T. Hew, a catechism teacher
at St. Vincent’s Church, also graced the art
show with their paintings.
Hew, pictured above, showed off
several of her pencil sketches of Catholic icons, including an elaborate colored
drawing of the Stations of the Cross.
“I just dream of these things and

Competing for Calculation
By Mark Hayden
M
ath is fun for these Molokai kids.
Molokai keiki math whizzes went to Maui last weekend
for the Mathcounts competition. After
weeks of preparation, 11 students from
three Molokai schools – Molokai Middle,
Kaunakakai Elementary and Akaùla
School – went head to head against 40
other students from around the county.
Although none of the students were
able to advance to the state level of Mathcounts, they said they were thankful for
the chance to participate.
“I think it was really fun. The problems
were very hard,” said Kori-Lee DeRouin, a
seventh grader at Akaùla School. “I was
nervous, but I had a good experience.”
The students traveled to Maui last Friday to prepare for Saturday’s competition
at Maui Waena Intermediate School. They
went through three rounds of math questions for the students, including 40 speed
round-answer questions in 30 minutes.
“My favorite was the speed round.
The questions were very challenging,”
said Eric Svetin, a sixth grader at Kaunak-
akai. Svetin and his teammate Jershon
Kaalekahi were the youngest out of their
competitors.
Kaalekahi said he had a great time and
had fun figuring out the difficult problems.
“It’s a good mental workout,” he said.
Other students who are interested in
some mind puzzles and calculation riddles are encouraged to attend the second
annual Molokai Math Day on Feb. 26, at the
Mitchell Pauole Center from 9 a.m to 2 p.m.
In updated preliminary maps released last August, areas in Kaunakakai
have been given flood zones depending
on their proximity to the ocean.
The maps were presented to the
Molokai Planning Commission as well
as the public under the public comment
period, which ends April 19. FEMA,
with the Corps, Maui County and the
state Department of Land and Natural
Resources were on hand to present.
Kaunakakai is now divided into three
zones. The first two zones were given base
foot elevations (BFE), which mean new
homes must be built up to a certain height.
“These are safer standards to reduce future flood loss,” said Eric Simmons, a senior engineer at FEMA.
However, Simmons said FEMA did
not conduct a study for the commercial
center in Kaunakakai.
Businesses along Ala Malama Ave.
and homes along Hotel or Manako Lane
do not have a BFE, which means those
property owners face restrictions if they
want to make major renovations. It also
means if someone wants to build a new
home in this zone, their contractor has
to do a private elevation study.
“It’s ironic they gave the height
(BFE) for the front and back [of Kaunakakai], but not the middle,” said Luigi
Manera of Architectural Drafting Services, who said he currently has open
projects in Kaunakakai. “Why they did
this in town is beyond me.”
Simmons said because the levee
was not certified, the center of Kaunakakai was not studied by FEMA. Due to a
lack of funding, plans to study the area
have stalled, according to County planning representative Francis Cerizo. He
said homeowners or developers planning new construction or renovations
in central Kaunakakai can conduct their
own study for elevation, or request for
the county to do it.
“Or just don’t develop,” Cerizo
said of a third option.
Needing Insurance
Some property owners in Kaunakakai will also be facing required flood
insurance for the first time. Federallybacked loans – primarily all bank mortgages – require the insurance in flood
designated areas. Typical insurance
covers the home’s value, as well as up
to $100,000 worth of the home’s content,
according to Jana Critchfield, a FEMA
insurance specialist.
There will be a special rate offered by
FEMA to property owners in the new flood
zones. The annual rate of $395 will be offered for three consecutive years according
to FEMA. However, to take advantage of the
rate, property owners need to sign up before
the maps take affect – estimated in Spring 2012.
Without the preliminary rate, flood insurance
can be as much as $1,500 a year depending on
the value of the home and what zone it resides
in, according to Critchfield.
“I don’t want people to pay any
more than they can [afford],” she added.
The rates are the same through the
U.S., and can be obtained through individual insurance agents. Pancho Alcon
is the only insurance agent on Molokai,
and said he has only had a few claims
for flood insurance in recent memory.
“The changes are probably warranted
based on the certification of the [levee],” he
said. “Nobody’s ever looked at it.”
Fischer said he was upset at this new
requirement, especially considering he is
not worried about his house flooding.
“I’m not paying $400 or $1,500.
I can’t afford that,” he said. “I’m on a
limited income. Maybe my landlord
will pay but I can’t pay that.”
Kaunakakai Levee
Gayagas of the Corps levee is inspected annually, and that it is in “good
condition, maintenance-wise.” Made of
dirt and stone, Gayagas said its construction is to protect against seasonal weather
and storms. He said the county gathered
data to self-certify two years ago, but is
in talks to hire the Corps to certify the levee. Cerizo said they are still looking for
funding to hire the Corps, and the whole
process will take up to three years.
If the levee is certified under FEMA
standards, Kaunakakai will revert back
to its protected zone, and property owners will no longer need flood insurance.
Cerizo said there is an appeal process
– a chance to request that FEMA do a closer
study. He said a resident can submit their
comments, preferably two copies for his office and for FEMA, by April 19.
The prelimnary maps can be found at
gis.hawaiinfip.org/fhat; a tutorial on how to
read the maps can be found at hawaiinfip.

That will allow air to circulate more effectively and not let heat build up,” he said.
Ferreira and his colleagues came
from Oahu last week to help audit people’s lighting systems and give advice
on how to be energy-efficient.
Lighting the Way
Ferreira said its great more people
are using solar; however, before installing solar panels, other energy-suckers
need to be changed first, such as incandescent light bulbs.
“Lighting is the first step. It’s cheap
to replace and you get a return on your
investment,” said Jason Aiana, a PonoSolutions representative on Molokai.
“There’s a huge difference on electric
bills when people make their lighting
systems more efficient.”
A simple change of a light bulb can
decrease electricity bills dramatically.
For example, a T12 florescent bulb may
cost a little less, but uses anywhere from
40-90 kilowatts per hour. A T8 bulb uses
only 25-32 watts per hour.
Residents can take advantage various rebates as well. Solar water heaters can cost $1,500-2000, but the annual
savings are around $500, according
to Hawaiienergy.com. Rebates of $750
could be granted for this kind of system.
Energy-efficient appliances such
as washing machines, ceiling fans and air
conditioners also have rebates, up to about
$110, and compact florescent light bulbs
(CFLs) often have instant rebates in stores.
Aianai is confident that sustainability can’t be done alone.
“It’s a kakou thing!” he said, meaning, “We’re all in this together!”

home more energy-efficient and save on energy bills, contact Jason Aiana at 479-9618

Molokai’s College Growing
By Megan Stephenson
D
onna Haytko-Paoa has been
envisioning a fully-supported
community college for Molokai
for 20 years – science classrooms with
Bunsen burners, and room for performance art.
“It seems like I’ve spent my whole
career tying to expand [the college],”
she said. As the college’s coordinator,
as well as a professor, her work is now
coming to fruition – the Molokai Education Center is advancing into its second
phase of growth.
Representatives from the college
made a land price agreement deal
with Molokai Properties Ltd (MPL) a
few weeks ago. The 3.2 acre parcel is
adjacent to the current college, and was
agreed at $500,000. The next step is for
Governor Abercrombie to release the
appropriated $500,000 funds, and for
the University of Hawaii (UH) Board of
Regents to sign off on the deal.
David Tamanaha, UH vice chancellor for administrative affairs, said
he expects to present the final document and funding to the UH Board of
Regents in six to eight months.
“I’m just excited we’re this far,” HaytkoPaoa said. “You cannot even dream if you
don’t have land to put the buildings on.”
The buildings themselves will take
some more time – Haytko-Paoa said no
money for construction has been appropriated yet – but the campus expansion
has been mapped out for some time.
Looking Forward
Haytko-Paoa said the theater would
be the perfect space to hold college functions, such as graduation and plays, as
well as an important space for the community.
“It fills the puka…especially for
Hawaiian culture [activities],” she said.
The additional classroom space
would be for vocational and technical
classes, as well as provide the growing
college with more room. Haytko-Paoa
said the additional classes would provide
Molokai students with a broad range of
bachelor’s degree options, as well as supported master’s degrees.
This expansion couldn’t come at a
better time – Haytko-Paoa said enrollment is “as high as it’s ever been.”
“When the economy’s bad, people
come to school,” she said. “When jobs
start opening up, you’re at a higher level than you were [before].”
After 20 years, Haytko-Paoa has
been a very patient administrator, and
said she doesn’t think this paperwork
process is too slow. She estimated finalizing the deal with MPL may take until
the end of the year.
“The extension of the community
college is important,” said MPL’s CEO
Peter Nicholas in a previous interview.
Last year, the university acquired
Molokai’s college, which is now UH
Maui College-Molokai. The state legislature appropriated $500,000 to buy
land for Molokai’s college in 2009,
which expires in June 2012. After the
funds are released, the UH Board of Regents must approve the deal.
“I say thank you to [MPL], I’m glad
their selling [their land] to us,” HaytkoPaoa said. “We all agree this is the best
use of the land. This is about education and it benefits all of us.”
Land for the community college
was set aside in the 1992 Molokai
Community Plan – a total of 15 acres.
The current facility, on two acres between cornfields east of Kaunakakai,
opened in 1999 after decades of sharing
classroom space with
other schools and offices. The next phase,
on the soon-to-be
purchased 3.2 acres,
will add more classroom space and a performance art space,
according to HaytkoPaoa.
“That’s been on
the books for Molokai since way back,”
she said of the potential amphitheater.
“There’s no venue
like [that] on the is- The Molokai Education Center now has the land to expand.

Kualapu’u School 5K
Race Series Announced
Tryouts for the 1st Annual “Honolulu 5K for Kids”
By Sue Forbes-Kikukawa
W
e are excited to announce the
inaugural “Kualapuù School
5K Race Series.”
Five 5K (or 3.1 miles) races are
planned on Molokai during the months
of March and April. The races begin
promptly at 8 a.m. – Saturdays March 5,
March 26, April 2, April 9, and April 23.
The intent of the 5K race series is
to prepare and to select a Kualapuù
School team for the first Honolulu 5K for
Kids on May 1. We also plan on having
FUN-raising during this time as well –
the cost to send a team of four boys and
four girls is $1,500. Event organizers are
hoping to raise this money by asking all
adult 5K participants to make a donation to the Kualapuù School team in
lieu of a regular entry fee.
For a Kualapuù School student
who wants to qualify for this team, the
selection will be made based on a student’s results in the first three races of
this series. The best two out of three
race results will be used to select the
traveling team; those selected will be
announced after the April 2 race. The
final two races will then be used to hone
student’s racing skills and to prepare
the team to compete against the larger
competition field of Oahu.
Please come out to support this
cause! “Do 5 for the Kids” so that they
can go show Hawaii what great athletes
we have here on Molokai.
All races begin at 8 a.m. and follow
Coffee’s of Hawaii 5K perimeter course.
Runners and walkers should meet at Coffee’s of Hawaii at 7:30 a.m. for registration
and pre-race instructions. Ribbons will be
awarded in each race for the top five male
and female runners in adult and youth divisions. For more information, please contact
Kualapuù School’s P.E. department (Ryan
Link and Ian Haskins) at 567-6900.

A Crop for All Seasons
By Glenn I. Teves, County Extension Agent
T
he price of food is not getting
any cheaper, and as residents
buy less, the price climbs even
higher. For those of us with some
land to spare and affordable water, it
makes sense to put some seedlings in
the ground and let the rains take care.
For everything, there is a season,
and knowing when to plant a certain
crop is key to the success of your plantings. For starters, always plan ahead
to the next season. Each season has its
own set of characteristics and quirks
that favor some crops over other ones,
including rainfall, day length and temperature.
In Hawaii, there are at least four
distinguishable growing seasons. The
fall/winter slot, from September to
December, has just past, but is usually
a repeat of this season which I call the
winter/spring slot. It’s a perfect time
for broccoli, cabbages, cauliflower,
Chinese cabbages or mustards, leafy
vegetables, root crops, and anything
else you might want to take a chance
on. January can be a time for beautiful
warm sunny days one day, and torrential rains the next.
Hawaiians refer to this kind of
weather as kaulua or ‘of two minds.’
This season is strongly influenced by
the northerly storms, the ones that
produce our large waves. Of these,
the northwesterly ones are the most
destructive because they’re opposite from our prevailing northeasterly winds, and many areas have no
wind protection, including farms
and residences. In the peak of this
season, there are at least two to three
new storms each week, and sometimes
more. The rain also brings the weeds,
and reminds me of the saying, ‘one year
of weeds, seven years of seeds!’ This is
one of the greatest challenges of gar-
dening in the rainy season, and one in
which farmers would like to avoid.
Of the cold season veggies, the
safest ones to grow would be the
underground crops, such as radish,
beets, daikon, carrots, and even kohlrabi. Mustards kai choy, pak choy, and
won bok thrive now. Lettuce grows
well from October to May, but heavy
rains this season can damage some of
the thin leaved types. The thick-leaf,
cast iron types such as romaine, heads,
and hapa types like Anuenue, Concept,
Sierra, or Nevada will do well.
Bulb onions, exclusively the
Grano and Granex types, can be sown
from September to March. These are
the Maui onion types, and will grow
just as well on Molokai and get pretty
sweet, especially above 500 feet. Bulb
onions take about 150 days or more to
mature so they’ll be ready in May or
June if started now. Irish potatoes also
grow well during this season, but getting good seed can be a problem. Buying a big bag of small potatoes is one
way to start.
The spring slot, starting in midMarch, it’s the last chance for some
of the winter veggies, especially the
broccolis and cauliflowers. Some of
the Chinese mustards can grow all
year round, but it’s good practice to
have a crop-free period for each crop
to break the insect cycle. Spring runs
from March to June. April showers
bring May flowers, so plant some
flowers as well. Melons, cucumbers,
tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers can
be planted in mid-spring.
Since this is just a generalization
of the seasons, it’s always a good practice to take a chance on a new crop.
Who knows, sometimes winter never
comes, and other times summer just
goes on and on and on.
A Molokai Wind Farm
Basic Questions and Answers (Part 1)
By Steve Morgan
A quick disclaimer – I currently do not
represent a position of support or opposition
in regard to the proposed wind farm. My
only intention of this series is to help our
community in getting a basic understanding of this project.
Why is the state actively seeking
to build windmills on Molokai?
The urgency to build a wind farm
on Molokai originates with State Bill
HRS 269-92, which mandates that the
state of Hawaii replace 40 percent of
its oil consumption by the year 2030
with renewable energy. Mandated
intervals also require a 10 percent reduction in oil consumption by 2010,
which has been met. By 2015, renewable energy must reach the 15 percent
level and by 2020 a 25 percent level
must be reached.
Wind energy from Molokai and
Lanai is recognized as a significant
contributor to reaching these goals.
According to Hawaiian Electric, the
only other readily available source of
renewable energy that could substitute the capacity of wind would be bio
diesel, both created domestically and
imported. The cost of biodiesel however, would be expected to be considerably higher than that of wind power.
The primary motive for the creation of
HRS 269-92 centers on major concerns
of rising oil prices and its impact upon
our economy. In the last two years the
price of oil has risen 119 percent. On
Molokai, the primary source of our
power is oil based. Even our ability
to pump water is determined by the
availability of oil.
How many windmills are being
proposed for Molokai?
The number of wind turbines
will range from a minimum of 56 to
a maximum of 174 dependent on the
total output size of the project (either
200 megawatts (MW) or 400 MW). The
number also depends on the size of
the turbines themselves which range
from 2.3MW to 3.6 MW. For example,
a total output capacity of 200 MW
would require 87 turbines each with
a capacity of 2.3 MW. If turbines with
a capacity of 3.6 MW were used, the
total number required would be 56
turbines.
Where will the inter-island cable come on shore?
Although the final location of
cable landing is yet to be determined,
the three proposed sites include the
areas of Ilio Point, Hale O Lono and
Palaàu.
Is the cable safe or would it
cause harm to the reef?
Although further conclusions
may result during the course of the
environmental
impact
statement
(EIS) process, the impact should be
minimal. A cable system with a rating of 400 MW is likely to require at
least three conductors (power lines)
bundled together into a single line,
each conductor being four inches in
diameter. Beyond the original settling
on the ocean floor, which takes a few
days, no further significant disruption
should occur. No reports of human
safety concerns have been reported in
other areas of the world where similar
cabling has been used. Keys to avoiding environmental damage include
the method in which the cable is laid,
and avoiding highly sensitive marine
environments. At this time, many
submarine cables exist between the
islands.

Organic Farming Given
Funding
U.S. Department of Agriculture News Release
O
rganic farming is easier on the
environment, but even organic practices need safeguards.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is offering financial
assistance to National Organic Program
certified organic producers.
The funding gives current growers’ opportunity to address their existing resource concerns, such as soil and
plant conditions, as well as new organic
producers, according to Lawrence T.
Yamamoto, NRCS Director for the Pacific Islands Area. This assistance will
be provided through the Organic Initiative of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).
Applications turned in by March 4
will be considered for initial selection,
but applications are accepted on a continuous basis. Funding selections will
be made on or before April 9.
Organic farming is one of the fastest growing segments in U.S. agriculture. The Organic Initiative gives financial and technical help for producers of
all commodities to meet their conservation goals. The assistance from the
NRCS helps producers plan and implement conservation practices to allow
their organic operations to be environmentally sustainable.

Beach Clean Up
Kualapuù School fourth grade reflections

What Would You Do?
By Makani Davis
What would you do if you saw
marine life being killed by nets, cans,
six packs, or more? Would you sit there
and watch it break down? I hope not,
because you’ll be watching nearly until you die! Stand up and fight for our
wildlife! You don’t need to be an adult
to do it, because fourth and fifth graders can clean up too if they want to.
Make a change in sea life. I want to
see it happen. Make the beaches clean. You
don’t need to be any certain age; you just
need too believe that you can. I believe and I
will help. The next step for me is to get others
to help. Will you help me? Will you help the
environment? Make a difference!
Step up and grab a hand to fix our
world and keep the atmosphere clean.
Go to the beach and look around; see
what you can pick up. You won’t believe
what you can do. You can change things!

Before Windmills
I
nitially when I attended the Feb. 3,
2011 public scoping meeting, like
most people who attended, I went
to get information on the impact of
the windmills/undersea cable. Many
of us were disappointed since answers
were not to be provided at this meeting.
Thus, my testimony came out of annoyance. And to set the record straight, my
testimony that night was not a representation of the Molokai Chamber of
Commerce Foundation’s views, it was
my personal view.
Some of you may remember that
back in the late 1950s, the west end of
Molokai was used for target practice
by Navy planes. Eventually the Navy
stopped and moved their bombing
practice to Kahoòlawe. Shortly after that, the state contracted an Oahu
company to dredge sand from Papohaku Beach, loading barges at Hale O
Lono harbor for shipment to Oahu. The
sand was used primarily to replenish
Waikiki beaches due to erosion. Many
of the workers came from off-island,
some were hired locally. Then the state
needed Molokai’s blue rocks for the
construction of the reef runway. Cinders were shipped to Oahu around this
period of time too. Later, more rocks
were removed from Molokai for Lanai’s
breakwater.
The state has been taking Molokai’s rich natural resources to support
Oahu’s growth for a period of time.
However, Molokai has not been given
any restitution or restoration in return.
It is sad that in the past, our island’s
natural resources were taken without
regard to community concerns. Yet we
get reported as having the highest unemployment, electricity, gasoline, water/sewage rate and the stigma as having lots of welfare recipients.
If windmills are destined for Molokai, then we need to be sure our community will benefit. My suggestion is
not only should we receive free electricity but that all residents receive monthly stipends. Our natural resources are
our cultural legacy and it should not be
taken without community understanding, acknowledgment and benefits.

olokai High School has big
plans for Wednesday, March 2.
Beginning at 5:30 p.m., Ohana
Night will start with presentations and
displays of the 2011 Senior Projects, in
the school library.
Senior projects begin an essential
question the student intends to address. They then research the actions
they need to complete for their chosen
projects, formalized in a paper, with
community members and teachers
providing feedback. The projects focus
on some aspect of community service,
often educating a targeted segment of
the Molokai community about an area
of concern or addressing a community
area of need.
For their hard work as well as for
their community contributions, we at
Molokai High School sincerely hope
our community encourages its soonto-be-graduates by coming to view and
ask questions about the varied projects
on view.
Following the Ohana Night Senior
Project exhibition, the evening continues in the school cafeteria with students’ National History Day displays
and math projects. Snacks and opportunities to win door prizes are available
for everyone who attends and supports
our island youth. Please mark your calendars and join us!

Free Tax Preparation on Molokai
he AARP is offering free tax service and is accepting appointments for a three day period here
on Molokai. If you used the service last
year, bring all your paperwork; if you
are new, use this service to get help with
your taxes. Professional tax preparers
will be available at the OHA conference room Feb. 18-19 from 9 a.m. – 5
president, and Noe Pascua, the MOC Facility Coordinator.
MOC has been going through a major restructuring in hopes of providing a
more transparent and accessible resource
to the clients of MOC. The new board has
been impressed with the aloha and openhearted response from our staff and outside agencies as we move forward with
the MOC mission – a vocational rehabilitation facility service program for the
developmentally, disabled and economically disadvantage residents of Molokai.
We hope that those who have knowledge
and opportunities to support the MOC
organization will consider doing so as we
move forward to help improve economic
development for Molokai’s at risk individuals. There is no island that is more
capable of helping their own than Molokai. Thank you Marcia for reminding us!

this all planned in our
pre-existence as spirits
in heaven. I came down
to Earth way before
you and never found
my sweetheart till I met
you. Now you know
why I always sing the
song, “Only You.”
Let us reflect back
and look at our wedding
picture…wow,
what a good looking
young couple we were, starting a new

car wash, traveled to Oahu on behalf of
MOC clients to give mahalo for the generosity of the Weinberg Foundation. The
foundation recently awarded MOC a
$10,000 grant to help expand vocational
rehabilitation opportunities for Molokai’s
developmentally disable and economically disadvantaged residents. At the
Weinberg Foundation’s luncheon on Jan.

represented throughout the state that it
has partnered up with to promote community based economic development.
This grant will enable MOC to improve
and upgrade training opportunities in the
MOC thrift store, and benefit the community as a whole. Marcia spoke at the Weinberg luncheon about what employment
at MOC has done for her and others. She
was accompanied to the Oahu luncheon
by Jim Schelinski, the new MOC board

are to be needed to bring such aspirations unto fruition will naturally come
into existence.
