olokai celebrated Memorial Day twice this year
– once at service hosted
by the Veterans of Foreign Wars
and another two days later at the
Ho`olehua Veterans Cemetary with
the Molokai Veterans Caring for
Veterans. Both honored Molokai’s
own who have sacrificed their lives
to give others a future.
On May 29, about 20 veterans,
family members and friends gathered at Memorial Park in Kaunakakai with the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. The centered monument
dressed in fresh lei and American
flags set the scene for the solemn
holiday ritual, emceed by Commander George Harada.
Guest speaker Mateo ended the
commemoration with a speech that
urged guests to carry on the legacy
of the men and women who have
died in this country’s service.
n May 25, Gov. Linda Lingle announced
an end to the state’s controversial school
furloughs. This came as the result of a
deal that involves a bank loan, tapping into the
Hurricane Relief Fund and eliminating some
teachers’ planning days.
Lingle will release $57 million of the $67
million allocated by lawmakers from the Hurricane Relief Fund to ensure students will be back
in school five days a week next year. A $10 million interest-free bank loan has also been secured
if needed.
Last year, Hawaii’s public schools lost 17 instructional days, marking the shortest academic
year in the nation and sparking state-wide controversy.
“Seventeen furlough days last school year
was unacceptable,” said Heidi Jenkins, a teacher at Kaunakakai Elementary. “The financial
impact was challenging for my family … more
unacceptable was the learning time lost for the
students.”
In addition to the allotted funds, public
charter schools will be awarded $2.2 million in
federal State Fiscal Stabilization Funds – a onetime appropriation of funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for
governors to use to further advance educational
reforms that benefit students. Russell Pang, chief
of media relations for the governor’s office, said
the money will be coming from the Part B funds
– about $35 million – in which Lingle can use at
her discretion.
The Catch
Is it a deal too good to be true? Some teachers would say so.
While the $57 million should cover 11 of the
17 furlough days, teachers agreed to give up six
of their paid planning days to cover the remain-

West End Water Rates to Rise Again
PUC approves temporary hikes.
By Abby Spegman
I
t was nearly a year ago that two
Molokai Properties Limited (MPL)
subsidiary companies, Wai`ola O
Molokai and Molokai Public Utilities
(MPU), applied with the Public Utility
Commission (PUC) for water rate increases, some over 500 percent higher
than rates just a few years ago.
While PUC has yet to make a final
decision on the matter, it issued an interim decision approving the rate increases two weeks ago. The new rates
will go into effect when the PUC approves revised tariffs that the utilities
must submit. As of last Friday, the PUC
was still awaiting their filing, but the
rate hikes are imminent.
“That’s not the final decision,” said
PUC Chairman Carl Caliboso. “The in-
terim just says they’re probably entitled
to [raise rates].” The final decision, he
said, will state definitely whether the
utilities are entitled to the increase.
Caliboso was unable to say when a
final decision would be issued.
To minimize a so-called rate shock
for customers, MPU and Wai`ola proposed a two stage phase-in of the new
rates. Phase I is expected to begin in the
coming weeks; Phase II will begin six
months after Phase I.
In Phase I, MPU customers will pay
$8.00 per 1,000 gallons per month and
$9.61 in Phase II, according to its application with the PUC filed in June 2009.
Wai`ola customers will pay $6.65
per 1,000 gallons per month in Phase I
and $8.97 in Phase II, according to its

application.
Meanwhile, the average family
serviced by Maui County Water Supply pays less than $2.00 per 1,000 gallons, according to their website.
About 1200 Molokai residents
will be affected by the increases.

Memorial Day Cont. From Page 1

“For their tomorrow, they gave today,” he concluded.
On the morning of Memorial
Day, May 31, Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans held a larger service at
Ho`olehua Veterans Cemetery, where
179 veterans are laid to rest. Many
headstones that morning were adorned
with lei, bouquets and fruit, and at each
gravesite an American flag was planted
and rippled in the strong breeze.
This was the first year the group
held their service at the cemetery,
which will also host their Veterans Day
ceremony on November 11. Manuel
Garcia, a Vietnam veteran who represents Molokai on the state’s Veteran
Advisory Committee, said the move
was meant to bring the ceremony closer to the veterans.
“This is where our veterans are
at… we came to honor these people
here,” Garcia said.
During the ceremony, Master Sergeant Samuel Makaiwi spoke about
the sacrifice veterans and their families
make. “Freedom is not free,” he said,
gesturing to the gravesites.
Makaiwi retired last week after
nearly 40 years of service, including two
years in Iraq. His son is currently on his
second tour of duty in Afghanistan.
“We’re there for a reason, so people in other counties can enjoy the freedoms we have and so we can sit here
today with fear of being bombed,”
Makaiwi said.
Louella Albino also spoke at the
ceremony. Her husband of 43 years,
Donald “Butch” Albino, fought in
Vietnam and passed away in April after battling cancer. Doctors told him
the disease resulted from exposure to
Agent Orange.
“He was one of the soldiers that
came home with the war,” Albino said.
While Memorial Day is only one
day designated to recognize veterans,
some think they should be acknowledged every day in one way or another.
“It could be just a simple aloha or
talking story,” Ed Panui, who attended
the ceremony in Kaunakakai, said. “Veterans should be celebrated every day.”

olokai Surf was broken into
last Sunday night, losing
about $6000 in merchandise, according to store owner Jerry
Leonard. Minimal structural damage
included a broken lock and kicked-in
door, which were discovered Monday
morning. The store’s alarm system was
also disabled during the incident.
The burglars took a whole rack of
large T-shirts, board shorts, large size
slippers and some ladies’ tops, according to Leonard. He added that the stolen
items all had ink security tags – when
ripped open, the tags release ink over the
merchandise. If the tags are ripped off,
they leave a hole in the fabric.
A report was filed with the Maui
County Police Department Monday
morning. No arrests have been made,
according to police records. The sergeant on duty could not be reached for
comment.
Molokai Surf has been open for
about 20 years, and was also burglarized in its first year of business, according to Leonard.
Leonard said any information on the
burglary would be helpful. Call the surf
shop at 553-5093 with any information.

In June 2008, MPL threatened to
cut water utility services its customers
after claiming that its subsidiary utility
companies did not have the financial
resources to continue service.
The announcement caused panic
among island residents and lawmakers at the state and county levels. Maui
County filed a lawsuit against MPL,
pointing to the binding agreements the
utility companies had signed with the
County to provide residents with water
services.
MPL agreed to continue service
but at a much higher cost.
In August 2008, in an unprecedented move, the PUC recommended
the temporary rates increases that are
still in effect. In June 2009, Wai`ola and
MPU applied to the PUC for permanent rate increases.
By this time next year, a family in
Kualapu`u or Maunaloa using the residential standard of 600 gallons a day
could see their monthly bill for water
usage skyrocket from $33 they paid in
August 2008 to $192.
Ratepayers’ Future
The rates approved by the interim decision will apply until the PUC
makes its final decision. If that calls for
rates lower than the new rates, the difference will be refunded to customers.
Many on Molokai are disappointed with the PUC decision.
“It’s a disaster for the people on
the island,” said Molokai resident Tim
Brunnert. He founded the advocacy
group Stand For Water last summer to
fight the proposed rate raises.
“The main reason was to get the
government to fight for us, and they obviously didn’t do that,” Brunnert said.
The Division of Consumer Advocacy signed off on the raises. “The concern
is that without sufficient revenues… the
utility company may say that ‘We can’t
operate, we don’t have enough money,’”
said Consumer Advocacy Executive Director Dean Nishina.
“Our office tries to make sure customers have a utility… we don’t want
them to go out of business,” he added.
The PUC had set a deadline to
make a final decision on rate increases
by the end of 2009, but the process was
sidetracked when interveners – third
parties appointed by the PUC to provide research and information -- were
approved for the case.
A closed hearing was held May
19-20 and PUC’s interim decision was
issued May 28.

olokai High School’s (MHS)
online classes are getting a second look as about 45 percent
of e-school students failed in fall semester
2009. These results propelled the school’s
administration to reevaluate the effectiveness of the supplemental program.
E-school is an alternative online
learning program that gives students
the option to earn class credit through
the Internet – also quite popular on college campuses. MHS offers 45 different e-school courses delivered through
Kamehameha Schools Distance Learning program – which hosts the school’s
Hawaiian Immersion online classes
– and Myron B. Thompson Academy.
Students can choose from an array
of online courses including English,
math, science, world languages and
advanced placement classes. Of the 45 students enrolled, 20
failed – 27 percent of which were in
Hawaiian Immersion courses. While it
is difficult to pinpoint the cause of the
high failing rates, MHS Acting Principal Denise Kelly said she thinks it’s
not so much a lack of motivation on the
students’ part, but poor communication between the schools.
“Of course there are students who
just don’t do the assignments, but it’s
more of a lack of understanding of
e-school’s expectations,” Kelly said.
“The main problem is communication
– which can be easily beefed up.”
Because of the program’s huge failure rate at MHS, the school considered
removing one of the e-schools from its
curriculum. But that would have eliminated two of the three language offerings, and staff felt it was important to
give it another shot.
Besides establishing better communication, Kelly said teachers and
staff will take a more active role in eschool by checking in with students,

Buddy lunch is the best because
sometimes you get a treat from them.
It means that you get to eat lunch
with them at their class or in their office.
Our buddies are the adults of
Kilohana School. Buddy lunch is important because if you don’t have a
buddy then you can’t talk with them

Hula
By Paaaina Kee
Hula is a Hawaiian tradition
for all dancers and it is a very graceful dance. Every Wednesday after
school at 2:15 all the hula dancers
come and dance to beautiful Hawaiian songs.
Hula is open for anyone to come.
There is pretty much no age limit.
There are classes for babies with the
1st and 2nd graders, another class is
for second and third grade. There is
a different one for 4th and 5th graders and the last is for 6th and adults.
Aunty April is the one that
teaches the hula. Everyone always
comes to hula and please be very
thankful for Aunty April. We are
very lucky. Mahalo.
Yoga Class
Yoga is a thing that helps your
body grow. Yoga helps your blood
to your brain too. Yoga is a helpful
exercise.
We do yoga in the cafeteria every Monday and Thursday. It is fun
because when I do headstands, it
feels like I am floating in the air upside down. I like yoga and I do it at
home too.
Christmas Program
By Max Rowe
The Christmas program is a
Christmas activity for everyone at the
school. The parents come to watch
what the students have been doing to
celebrate how the Christmas spirit is
with the students of Kilohana School.
Everybody has fun with this activity- the students, councilors, teachers, and the parents. We celebrate the
Christmas program at night so Santa
can see us perform. This has been
going on for many generation and I
hope that it goes on for many more
years.
early by rotating substitute teachers
to allow other teachers to get grades
done,” Kelly said. “They’ll just have to
be more on top of it.”
Kelly said the school plans to stay
efficient even with the loss of waiver
days by implementing an online grade
reporting system, which will be updated every three weeks and allow access
to students and parents.
“We have a plan b, so we’ll make it
work,” Kelly added.
Her optimism is also shared by
Jenkins who says she, like other Molokai teachers, will still be in the classrooms volunteering her time to plan
lessons and set up classrooms.
“This will be our tithe, or gift,
to the students because it is the right
thing to do for the children,” she said.
E-school Benefits
Thompson Academy – the eschool program MHS discussed dropping – offers world language courses
in French and Japanese. Both courses
are offered at MHS online only. Kelly,
along with other school officials, decided against removing the program
because it would prevent students who
have already completed their first year
language from pursuing a second year.
Most colleges require students to
take at least two years of a world language in high school.
“That’s why the consideration to
take away [Thompson’s Academy] is
so hard,” Kelly said. “We don’t want
to prohibit any students from making
their college requirements.”
Kelly said one student enrolling
in Spanish 3 next year wants to establish world language clubs for his senior inquiry project, aimed at helping
students learn to speak the language,
rather than just read and write.
Although e-school is a good alternative method to prepare students for
college and help them navigate different learning styles that extend beyond
the traditional classroom, there are still
little quirks in the system that Kelly
hopes to fix next year.
“We found the problems and are
addressing them,” she said. “We have
the right supports in place and have a
good plan.”
So far, 49 students outside of the Hawaiian Immersion program have signed
up for e-school courses next year.

Jenkins used an analogy of an attorney to describe her discontent for
the cut in planning days.
“Would a lawyer walk into a
courtroom without planning his deposition before he delivers it to the jury
and judge?” asked Jenkins. “Absolutely not. This would negatively affect
his client. Likewise, loss of planning
days might inadvertently affect the
students.”

50,000 content-specific video segments,
images, audio files, animations and
more. Alison Place, Molokai Resource
Teacher, facilitated the training and
guided the Kindergarten through 12th
grade teachers through the rich array
of resources and services. They learned
to use a variety of dynamic search tools
to quickly locate video segments, images, encyclopedia articles, audio files,
quizzes, events, lesson plans, animations, clip art, and more.
At the close of the workshop, one
teacher said she would “commit to using this site by using videos, creating
assignments and assessments, locating
useful lessons and having my students
use this site in and out of school.”
“I am leaving this workshop with
a lot of new information, resources and
ideas,” said another teacher.
Next school year all of the Molokai public school students will have a
login code and password to access the
site and will have the capability to organize and store resources from the site
into their own folders and workspace.
Teachers will be able to create and assign interactive lessons, assignments
and assessments and have students access them on-line. If you would like to

olokai has Frank Leary to
thank for some of its most
iconic symbols. The “Aloha – Slow Down” sign at the airport?
Leary’s work of art. The Post A Nut
program? That’s Leary’s idea too. Now
his latest creation is ready to power up
– literally.
Leary is finishing work on a portable wind generator he’s dubbed “Easy
Rider.” While Leary has been building
generators for 20 years, this is his first
to feature a three-blade turbine.
“[The two-blade design] stops and
then it starts and then it stops,” he said.
“This one keeps going.”
The turbine is also omni-directional, which means it doesn’t need to
change direction to face into the wind.
According to Leary, the design is a major improvement over standard windmill designs.
Leary’s model is made of carbon fiber. It took him about a month to build
and cost $1,000 in materials. It’s two
feet tall, 30 inches wide and weighs less
than 20 pounds.
Equipped with a standard car alternator, the Easy Rider is designed to
charge and maintain 12 volt deep cycle
batteries, which are designed to produce steady amounts of power over
long periods of time.
The generator will produce five to
ten amps – not enough to power a house,
which takes about 40 amps, but plenty
for a camping trip or power outages.
Leary said he plans to make a larger version of the Easy Rider that will
produce more power.
He has tested the turbine on the
Kaunakakai pier and said he has seen
“fantastic results,” along with a few curious stares while driving around with
the generator strapped to the bed of his
pickup truck.
Leary first became interested in
wind generators after reading an article
about them in Popular Science magazine.
“It was one of the greatest inventions in the world,” he said.
With no formal training, Leary set
out to teach himself the inner workings
of wind generators. He made his first turbine out of two Styrofoam cups and has
since experimented with different materials like plastic, fiberglass and metal.
“Carbon fiber definitely works the
best,” he said.
He builds his generators in the
carport off his Ho`olehua home alongside his dogs, cats, chickens and goat.
His unconventional workshop matches
his out-of-the-box designs.
“I see so many things wrong with
the big generators -- it takes so long to
get them up and they’re not portable,”
he said. “This is portable.”
Leary said other generators he has
made have lasted five years and even
survived the 80 mph winds of Hurricane Iniki in 1992.
Leary’s Legacy
Here on Molokai, Leary’s best
known work is probably the “Aloha –
Slow Down – This is Molokai” sign he
put at the entrance to the airport about
20 years ago.
“I saw a lot of people doing things
that they shouldn’t be doing like
speeding and tailgating,” said Leary,
who previously worked as an ambulance driver and knew the tragic consequences these behaviors can have.
“I think the sign has saved some
lives,” he said.
Leary’s creative legacy also includes the Post-A-Nut program, which
he started in 1990 with his wife Peggy
Keahi-Leary, former postmaster at the
Ho`olehua Post Office.
Leary said the idea came to them
when they used to watch coconuts being hauled off to the landfill. Over the
years, Post A Nut has aided post offices
here as profits and funding have declined. Over 50,000 coconuts have been
sent from the Ho`olehua Post Office
alone since the program began.

plan to dredge the harbor at
Kalaupapa and build a in-water
structure to enhance barge maneuverability has been nixed, according to the National Park Service (NPS).
The construction was proposed
last year to increase accessibility for the
barge that brings supplies to the isolated
peninsula once a year. Dredging would
have allowed larger barges to service the
peninsula. But after public testimony
and outside agency consultation, the
project was cancelled because of possible
environmental affects, especially to endangered species in the area such as the
Hawaiian monk seal.
“Based on all the feedback and
consultation, we determined the impact associated with [the improvements] outweighed the benefits,” said
Steve Prokop, NPS Kalaupapa Superintendent.
Only repairs to the existing breakwater structure and pier are now being
proposed, Prokop said.
At this time, the Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) that was necessary for the larger-scale construction
has been terminated. The public and
consultant feedback were part of the
EIS process. An Environmental Assessment (EA) – a shorter version for projects of lesser environmental impact – is
now being prepared, according to an
NPS press release.
The proposed project will cost
about $5 million in federal funds specifically set aside for repair and rehabilitation of NPS structures, Prokop said.
Construction is expected to begin
in spring 2012.
Prokop said he is taking public
comment on the project by phone. He
can be reached at 808-567-6802, x1100.

A Better Tea
Who knew about mamaki?
by Glenn I. Teves, County Extension Agent
M
amaki (Pipturus albidus) is a
Hawaiian endemic
plant found on all
the major islands
except Ni`ihau and
Kaho`olawe. It’s the
only member of the Urticaceae or
Stinging Nettles without stingers.
There are at least two varieties of
Mamaki, but there are also hybrids
formed by crossing the two varieties,
and are categorized by leaf color and
shape.
In the past, mamaki tea was
made by adding fresh leaves into a
gourd with fresh spring water and
red-hot stones. Popular as an herbal
tea, whole leaves are steeped with
hot water to create a very dark tea
with a pleasant taste. Traditionally,
mamaki was used for general debility, thrush and to ease childbirth in
expectant mothers. The berries were
used as a digestive tonic for children
as well as a healing agent for sores
and wounds. Ancient Hawaiians also
used the inner layers of the bark for
kapa.
Until recently, there’s been limited scientific information on the medicinal effects of the mamaki plant
and the tea, other than what’s known
through local folklore and kupuna
practitioners of native Hawaiian natural herbal healing or la`au lapa`au.
The mamaki plant was used a natural medicine for various illnesses,
such as constipation and stomach
problems. More recent popular beliefs claim that drinking mamaki tea
can alleviate problems with the liver,
high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood cholesterol.
Previous scientific studies have
shown that the mamaki plant has
antimicrobial properties, such as inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus or staph infections and
Streptococcus pyogenes or strep in-
fections, and possess antiviral activity against Herpes Simplex Virus 1
and 2 and Vesicular Stomatitis virus.
Research conducted at UH College
of Tropical Agriculture and Human
Resources by the team of Kartika,
Li, Wall, Nakamoto, and Iwaoka has
shown that tea prepared from mamaki leaves have higher amounts of
total antioxidant activity than traditional green teas (Camella sinensis)
and significantly higher total antioxidant activity than those found in
oolong and black teas.
Plant phenols are potent antioxidants that scavenge free-radicals
implicated with cancer and other
human health issues. Three classes
of phenols are found in mamaki
tea. Catechins, found in teas such
as green tea, play an important role
as an antioxidant against cancer,
obesity, diabetes, aging and circulatory and memory-related disorders.
Chlorogenic acid, found in root crops
such as carrots, radish, turnip, gobo,
and also blueberries is an important
antioxidant in the protecting proteins
from oxidation. Rutin, found in red
wine, buckwheat, citrus, and tomato
skin is an important antioxidant in
controlling animal body weight, and
was found at higher levels in mamaki than in green tea.
General preparation of the mamaki tea suggests using approximately 2 grams (3-4 leaves) per cup
of boiling water. Dried mamaki
leaves can be purchased in local drug
stores, natural food stores and online. Mamaki seeds germinate readily and can be grown in many environments around Molokai, both in
partial shade and in full sun, and can
reach heights of 6 to 8 feet in less than
a year. Sometimes, we don’t have to
look far to find healthy alternatives,
but collecting seeds and growing
your own is better for the environment and you.

kai last Wednesday morning and stayed for a few days
to meet with staff and orient himself
with the business.
Because of the change in ownership, Paddlers’ staff had to reapply for
their jobs. Santiago said he hopes to
hire them all back.
The restaurant will open as soon
as insurance is “squared away” and
the Department of Health inspects the
kitchen, Santiago said. He added last
Wednesday that he hopes to have it
open this week.
The bar, however, will remain
closed until a new liquor license is secured, which can be a lengthy process.
Until then, Santiago said he hopes to
get clearance from his insurance company for customers to bring their own
alcohol.
Santiago said he wants to give the
place a stronger sports bar feel and
bring in more games. His company,
Game Master, already supplies the
pool tables and gaming machines to
Paddlers.
Santiago said he also wants to fix
up the patio, extend the overhang and
“maximize the space.”
But all these changes will take
time. “I’m not going to change anything right away,” Santiago explained.
One thing has already changed –
the menu. Santiago said the new menu
scales back on meal offerings and reinforces the sports bar feel. “My other
restaurants don’t have that many meals
on the menu.”

Mental Maps
Wellness commentary IV
By John Havey, Molokai Community Health Center
P
romoting one’s wellness, in
part, relates to making good
choices. Every moment we are
choosing our attitudes and actions.
Sometimes these are conscious choices and other times the choices are unconscious or somewhere in between.
Given our memories, emotional experiences, and social influences, we all
have developed “mental maps” that
help us navigate the life we live. The
information on the map may or may
not be helpful for our personal wellness.
As an analogy, if a hawk’s mental map reflects a life of a duck, then
the hawk would spend time near
the pond rather than flying in the
sky. Sometimes, the hawk realizes
he or she is a hawk but the process of
change takes courage.
So, our mental maps inform our
attitudes, choices, and actions. Promoting our wellness involves knowing we have choices and the personal
freedom to choose. Hopefully, this
type of information will be added
to our mental map. Promoting one’s
wellness involves choosing the best
attitude, choices, and actions that
help us fly and soar to new heights.
On a personal note, I hope my work
at the Community Health Center supports this goal.

Molokai Represented at Democratic Convention
By Todd Yamashita
E
very two years, Hawaii Democrats converge in Honolulu
where office hopefuls brush elbows with influential party members
from around the state. Vying candidates lure the support of constituents
through impassioned speeches, free
stickers and knick-knacks, and hotel
parties with really good food.
On the business side of things, delegates from around the islands put their
heads together to adopt specific resolutions that define the party movement.
This year, civil unions, renewable energy
expansion, death with dignity, and an
aquaculture moratorium were just some
of the resolutions which were adopted.
Before a resolution is adopted
by the Democratic Party, it’s guided
through several vigorous discussions
which eventually lead to a party-wide
vote. Participants can expect anything
from long detailed discussions to heated and boisterous debate.
Because many of the proclamations
are penned on the grass-roots level in
communities around the state, they are
closely watched by lawmakers who
consider the resolutions to be the voice
of the people. Some of the resolutions
eventually make their way through the
legislature and eventually become law.
With a highly publicized gubernatorial race between Neil Abercrombie and Honolulu Mayor Mafiosa
Hanneman, the party’s interests are especially important to constituents this
political season.
“Democratic values such as education, social justice, energy independence, economic opportunity, sustainability and the preservation, protection
and enhancement of our natural resources are the issues upon which we
will elect our next Democratic Governor,” said Lance Holter, Chair of the
Democratic Party of Maui.
May 29, Holter escorted Molokai Democratic Vice-chair Beverly Pauole-Moore to
the stage where she received the Democrat’s State Chairperson’s Award.
“It was an honor to receive that
award. I didn’t expect it,” said PauoleMoore who has been a staunch Democrat
for well over 25 years. She was Molokai’s
campaign manager for Ben Cayatano
and Pres. Barack Obama (who received
the highest percentage victory in the state
here on the Friendly Isle).
Pauole-Moore is also a mentor for
future Democrats.
“I look forward to going to the
convention every two years and introducing this experience to young Democrats,” she said.
Pauole-Moore was accompanied by
Molokai delegates: Rosie Davis, Lynn DeCoite, Annette Pauole-Ahakuelo, Faith
Tuipulotu, and Todd Yamashita.
Molokai’s Democratic Champion
Added Support for Molokai
On the second day of the convention,
than delegates and ho`okupu. When
budget cuts threatened to close all but
two State Human Services offices, it
was a last-second veto over-ride by the
legislature in May that kept them open.
With 80% of Molokai receiving
some form of service from their local
office, the attempted closures created
anxiety in the community. In response,
Pauole-Moore and Holter crafted a resolution that would reaffirm the party’s
commitment to keeping face-to-face
services available in rural areas.
“I felt that if the people are behind
it, their voice makes a big difference more than just the legislature because I
believe the power is in the people,” said
Rep Mele Carroll who co-chaired the
Environment and Health and Human
Services Committee alongside Holter
during the convention.
The resolution was officially adopted by the Hawaii State Democratic Party
on the second day of the convention.

Free Will Astrology
By Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The “secret” is in plain sight.
The “hidden resource” is freely available for anyone who intends to use it with integrity. The “lost key” is very close to
where you left it when you last used it. The “missing link”
is missing only in the sense that no one recognizes it for
what it is. The “unasked question” is beaming toward you
from three directions. The “wounded talent” will be healed
the moment you stop thinking of it as wounded and start
regarding it as merely unripe.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I want to be everywhere at
once and do everything at the same time,” writes one of
my Scorpio readers, J.T. He’s in luck, because according to
my analysis, your tribe is about to enjoy a phase much like
what he describes. “No more of this linear, one-day-at-atime stuff,” he continues. “I want a whole week packed into
each 24-hour turn of the earth, with heavy doses of leisure
time interwoven with thrilling bouts of hard, creative labor. I want to live in a secret garden with ten years of solitude and hang out at a street fair raging with conviviality. I
want to sing with angels and romp with devils in between
walking the dog, exercising at the gym, and chatting to
perfectly ordinary people. I want enough money to fill a
swimming pool, and I want to live like there’s no such thing
as money.”
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s time for some image

to look down at your left palm and imagine that you see
the following scene: an infinity sign whose shape is made
not by a thin black line but by a series of small yellow rubber duckies. The duckies are flowing along slowly in continuous motion. They are all wearing gold crowns, each
of which is studded with three tiny rubies. With resonant
tones that belie their diminutive and comic appearance,
the duckies are singing you your favorite song. It makes

What’s Happening Molokai
Aunty’s Corner
A
loha
kakahiaka,
A u n t y
here. I walked into
the office at Home
Pumehana to hear
all this kind singing. So I went looking for where it was and lo and behold
the Aka`ula School was practicing for a
concert for the kupuna. But before they
started that, they were going to clean
the building and yard for 40 minutes.
I tried to talk them into coming to my
place but no one wanted to come do
that. Bummer.
The residents here at Pumehana are
able to receive food from either the food
bank or the Salvation Army. It comes
in on the third Thursday of the month.
Aunty J, my neighbor, is a worker for
the Salvation Army. When I went to get
my sack from in front of my door it was
gone, later on that evening someone
came in aunty J’s back door and stole
2 bags from her. Someone must have
been very hungry. Really hurt our feelings. I just hope the person was really
hungry. I’d be so glad to give.
We went to Todd’s home for his,
Noe’s, and Catherine’s birthday. What
a great home that they are restoring.
They can see Mo`omomi, the valley and
the ridge across the valley. I found out
that the name for DJ Pelekai’s Halau is
Ka Malo O Kalani, The Cloak of Heaven. This was Aunty Ku`ulei’s mother’s
name and Aunty Ku`ulei named his Halau this name. Such an honor for him
and the Halau. I wasn’t able to say what
the name was from Ka Hula Piko so e
kala mai, DJ. Speaking of Aunty Ku`ulei,
her family built her a house and she
is home from the hospital. Everyone
agrees it was the fastest house built. She
will probably have to take it easy for
awhile but knowing Aunty, she won’t.
I really think the young woman
at Take’s, Maricel, is the nicest young
woman I’ve met. She always is giving me a fresh gardenia (my favorite)
and she also brings fresh sushi when
she comes to the Dispatch. Man, can’t
get any better than that. This morning when I got up Uncle Ben had his
karaoke machine out and was signing
the oldies but goodies. What a way
to wake up! Mahalo, Uncle. Alu Like
has been taking the kupuna to Kumu
Farms on Thursdays to buy their wonderful organic fruits and veggies. Lori
Higa’s Halau is learning two beautiful
slow hula. They will be performing
throughout the summer. Keep and eye
for them.
Last night I went to my niece’s
bookstore to see Bergitta and Tim Linhart. Their company is called Ice Music. Tim also does ice sculpture contests in Colorado while he was there
doing that, Bergitta was working on
the world’s largest ice structure in the
world. It is located on a glacier in Italy.
Can you imagine that? I couldn’t imagine that until we saw all his pictures of
the wonderful instruments they have
made, violins, cellos, bass, drums, pipe
organ, flutes, guitar. It was simply
amazing to see all this and how it is
made. Before I went to this, however,
I went to Teri Newman’s Tahitian class.
Now there is an exercise program for
you. I’m sure I’m the oldest one there.
Some of the women can really move it!
Woo hoo. Come join us.
Ua lawa paha keia a hui hou kakou

To Those Who Have Heard
God’s Word
Opinion by Pastor Mike Raines
I
f you have heard the Word of God,
but choose to disobey, you are calling God a liar. You are resisting and
thus you are in rebellion against God.
Disobedience is the same as unbelief in
God’s eyes. However, no matter who
chooses not to believe God’s word, His
word is still working mightily in those
who do believe and His word will accomplish all that He planned from the
foundation of the world. (Isaiah 55:11 &
Matt.25:33-34)
One cannot continue to have sex
outside of marriage and have peace
with God. One cannot continue to
commit adultery and have peace
with God. One cannot continue as
a practicing homosexual or lesbian
and have peace with God. One cannot continue to get high or drunk and
have peace with God. One cannot
continue to steal, to lie or gossip and
have peace with God.
Yes, God does love every one of
us, but He does not condone sin. He
is a righteous God who sent His Son
to die on the cross in order to do away
with sin and vanquish death. For this
reason, He told the woman who had
been caught in the act of adultery to
“go and sin no more.” (John 8:11) God
is not willing that anyone perish, but
He will not force anyone to believe
His word and obey His Son. (see John
3:36) God will not send anyone to hell
but each and every person that goes
there chose that path, all the while
refusing to obey the Son. God is love
but our sins separate us from Him.
I believe that aborting babies is
an abomination to God. However,
I know that God gives everyone the
freedom to choose their course of action. So, you can say that I believe in
“a woman’s right to choose.” However, I also know that with all of our
choices comes responsibility for them.
We are accountable to the Creator, the
living God, whether we like it or not.
Let me encourage you to base your
decisions on the wisdom which God
gives and not on what society tells
you. (It’s best to carry the baby to
term and give him/her up for adoption if need be.) Also, if you have had
an abortion earlier in your life, know
that God loves you and offers forgiveness and cleansing if you will come
to Him through His Son Jesus Christ.
Remember this: If you get mad
at the messenger, you are really mad
at God, because this is based on His
words. I merely share the truth with
you because I love you too. Ask the
Lord to help you move from anger
toward Him to love for Him and His
word. Humble yourselves before the
Lord and He will lift you up. Ask
Him to forgive you and invite Jesus
into your heart. Find a local fellowship of believers and commit yourself
to that body so that you can grow in
grace and knowledge and be led by
the Holy Spirit.

A Mother’s Love
L
ast Mother’s Day, we – my
daughter, her husband and I –
were at Hotel Molokai celebrating the day with my wife. As I was
looking at the ocean my mind drifted
back thousands of miles away back to
the Philippines.
After I got married in 1958, I came
back to Hawaii and my wife came four
months later. For 37 years I didn’t go
back to the Philippines to visit my family – including my mother. Between 1960
and 1970 I brought over three sisters and
my youngest brother. I made them stay
in Honolulu as I didn’t want them to
work in the pineapple industry. My sisters and brother often returned. But not
me. I was so busy raising a family.
In 1995 my siblings went back to
the Philippines because my mother
was sick. Realizing mom’s time was
running short, my sister flew back to
Honolulu. Without even asking me,
she had bought a roundtrip ticket for
me. My sister told me go and see mom.
She kept asking “Why haven’t you seen
her for such a long time? Don’t prolong
her agony.”
Reluctantly I went to the Philippines. From Manila to our Barris (village) it took me about nine hours on a
very crowded bus. As soon as I arrived
my sister told my. Her reaction was
“Thank you Lord for bringing home
my son.”
After being bed-ridden for three
years, she got up and we embraced
one another. We sat down together and
talked about my younger sisters and
brother. It is a tradition that the eldest
takes care of the younger siblings. I
told her that they were doing great.
While I was talking to her, her
eyes were very clear. After a while she
told me, “Son, I am tired, I am going to
rest.” I brought her to bed and I went
out of the house. Soon there was a commotion in the room where mom was.
I witnessed her gasp for her last
breath. She wanted to know how her
children were and had waited for me,
being the eldest, to tell her that everything was fine. I am glad I went back to
the Philippines after 37 years to grasp
the greatest love – a mother’s love – my
mother.

Molokai High School, and
on behalf of our parents,
grandparents, and community at large,
extend our Mahalo and Aloha kakou
to the special people that made Project
Grad 2010 possible for us on May 22nd.
From the setting of the sun to its
rising, it was an awesome time spent
as classmates. It felt safe being in good
hands. We enjoyed onolicious grindz
provided by a huge circle of family and
friends working together. The entertainment was great from da Braddahs,
Ma`oli, and our own home grown kine
Pa`akai. Disco fever followed, ending
with encouraging music and words of
Ainsley “Kalei” Kaleimamahu Aiwohi
Ainsley “Kalei” Kaleimamahu

filled with laughter, dancing and fun.
Out of 80 grads 61 classmates participated, and the majority rocked.
Mahalo nui loa to all the special
individuals and businesses who have
generously donated time, money and
resources with the coordinated efforts of the Project Grad Committee.
The purpose was to have an alcoholfree and drug-free celebration to help
prevent teenage accidents, and death
caused by drinking and driving on
graduation night.

25 YEARS EXPERIENCE
D
ear Molokai High School
Alumni,
I regret that I was unable
to attend the traditional senior lu`au
on May 29, 2010. Unfortunately, I had
a medical issue that kept me home for
that weekend. I understand that the
night was fabulous and the food was
extraordinary! All of the hard work
that the organization puts into making
the evening a delight for all is com-
mendable. I and all of the Molokai
High School community appreciate all
of your efforts to provide a memorable
evening for new and former members
of the alumni of Molokai High School.
I look forward to attending at the end
of next school year!
Thank you so much for your understanding. Go Farmers!
