After the evening of first-class live music and entertainment, the full house of guests offered a standing ovation Saturday at the Molokai Community Health Center. Featuring Tahitian, traditional and modern dances, as well as special guests from Maui with fire and haka performances under the canopy of the banyan tree, the show was both impressive and emotional for many. The event commemorated the life of Moana Dudoit, who died last March after running the halau for over 40 years. Several solo dances throughout the evening were tenderly dedicated to her memory. I sland Air will discontinue service to Molokai after April 1. In a fivesentence announcement last week, the airline said all Molokai-based employees will be offered the opportunity to transfer elsewhere within the company. Customers with confirmed reservations to or from the island after April 1 can either transfer their ticket to another airline or receive a refund. Meanwhile, Hawaiian Airlines’ neighbor island service `Ohana by Hawaiian has announced its plans to begin flying to Molokai starting March 11. “Now that we are certain the island of Molokai will have adequate air service to match its needs, we have decided to redeploy our aircraft to another route that needs more capacity,” Island Air CEO Paul Casey told the Dispatch via email. “The only thing constant in this business is change. And we wanted to make sure that the residents of Molokai had adequate service before making any changes to our routes.” He said the company currently has eight full-time and seven part-time employees based on Molokai, the longest of whom has worked for the company more than 25 years. Reactions to Island Air’s announcement have been mixed. Some Molokai residents call it good riddance. The airline has been operating only two flights daily to Molokai since November, while redirecting five flights daily to Lanai. The carrier has also become infamous for delayed flights, which caused some customers to avoid the airline altogether. “Aunty Moana started this halau with just a few family members,” said Zhantell Dudoit, emcee of the event. “It eventually incorporated everyone from age 2 to 90 who wanted to dance free of charge, taking us all over the world to share our special land of Molokai aloha to the people of all corners of the earth.” The night’s proceeds will go towards traveling to Kona for the Merrie Monarch Festival in 2015 where the wahine groups will compete among the top hula halau across the globe. Zhantell said the halau hopes to raise approximately $40,000 by next year to represent Molokai at the festival. “We are so thankful for your contributions to carry on that legacy and the Hawaiian culture,” said Zhantell.

But if you find yourself going mad over your metal collection, there is now a group you can call to gather your junk cars, appliances and mixed metals. Refrigerant Recycling Inc. (RRI) is here to serve Molokai for the next three years. The Oahu-based recycling and refurbishing company is working handin-hand with Maui County, dedicated to help make metal disposal less of a headache for the community. “We’re holding a community workday to go around helping rural parts of the island and to assist people who need help with recycling their items,” said Molokai-born RRI project manager Mike Diorec. With the help of Molokai-Naiwa Landfill personnel and Maui-based nonprofit Community Work Day Program volunteers, RRI kick-started a series of “Metal Round-Up” events last weekend. This Week’s Dispatch Reunion Over Salad Dressing Pg. 3 A Maui volunteer assists in the collection of unwanted metals during a recycling even last Saturday in Wailua. Photo by Jessica Ahles The round-ups are a county-funded project traveling across the island to pick up metal materials in rural areas at no cost to the public. Last Thursday through Saturday, RRI set up drop-off locations in Halawa Valley, Maurice Point and Waialua to provide convenient access to locals and respond to house calls requesting assistance with material pick-up. “From here, some people don’t have the means to travel the distance to the Sixth Graders Offer Meaningful Messages Pg. 3 Metals Continued pg. 2 Why we fly with Makani Kai “I’m the kind of person who likes to show up ten minutes before the plane leaves,” says Tarah Horner. “You can’t do that with the other guys.” But you sure can with Makani Kai Air. That’s one of the reasons why Tarah and her husband Noa are regulars with Makani Kai. “It’s convenient and the price is right.” And we like Tarah because she brings us cookies.

Some residents made multiple drop-offs in one day, depositing years’ worth of lawn mowers, engines, and miscellaneous parts. “It’s a good service and something good for the island,” said Chuck Miguel, a retired construction worker, utilizing RRI’s pick-up service to get rid of some of his scrap metals in Waialua Saturday morning. “But if you clean it, keep it clean.” The event will continue moving towards the west end in the coming weeks. While they aren’t collecting larger items at this event such as vehicles and furniture, you may call 351-3504 to schedule a pick-up for a fee based on the size of the item.

Metals Facility Back in Business While the series of metal pick-up events provides a more convenient way to recycle metals, Diorec said he understands several annual pick-up events is not enough to keep the island clean. In 2009, the Molokai Metals Recycling Facility, located at the MolokaiNaiwa Landfill, closed after reaching capacity, according to the county’s Abandoned Vehicles and Metals Administrator at the time, Patience Gaia. After the metals recycling program slowed and was no longer cost-effective, the county “resorted to a collection event” in 2010, said Gaia in a 2011 interview. With nowhere to dispose of unwanted materials, frustrations arose when the community had to wait for one of the collection events to open each year to haul their metal rubbish to the landfill. “Being a resident on Molokai, I felt a lot of the pain the community was go- The Molokai Dispatch • Feb 26, 2014 • ing through,” said Diorec. “That was one of the first things I told the county--we can’t do it on just the collection events.” All of that changed as of last year, when the county Department of Environmental Services Solid Waste Division and RRI agreed on a three-year contract to provide an on-going metals recycling program for the Molokai community. In August 2013, the Molokai Metals Recycling Facility opened full-time under the supervision of several Refrigerant Recycling crewmembers. Following the regular hours of the landfill, the metals facility is open for drop-offs Tuesday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The reopened facility has already been well-used. According to Dioec, his crew collected approximately 1,000 tons of materials from September through December alone. “For a small, rural community, that’s a lot of tonnage,” said Diorec. “It shows that people are sitting on these material for ages and an ongoing, collective program is a needed service, especially on Molokai.” Moving Materials Diorec said metal materials travel near and far and go through various breakdown processes before ending in their final destinations. Recycled AC and refrigerator units contain hazardous fuels that needs to be recycled to one area in the mainland, said Diorec. Vehicle gas, tires and solvents move to Honolulu, and batteries are sent to business partners on Maui, where they are reused, recycled or incinerated. After all hazardous fluids are removed from a vehicle, they are crushed into 4-foot-by-8-foot bails and transported to Oahu, where they’re shredded and shipped to processing plants in China, Korea, Turkey or other major metal industrial countries. In the future, Diorec said Refridgerant Recycling Inc. pictures giving back to the community with some of the funds acquired from their recycled metals, putting a larger focus on cleaning up homestead land, and perhaps receiving an additional three years through the county after the current contract ends in 2016. “That way, we can help get your land clean and educate of our younger generations on the importance of recycling,” said Diorec.

Rather than skill, Coach Benny Venenciano attributes their two, first-place tournament wins to passion and soul. “When you have the will, the beauty of this sport is the balance of taking care of yourself physically and mentally, and doing your schoolwork,” said Venenciano. “At this developmental age, I wanted wrestling to be that sport for them.” During the winter season, 19 athletes wrestled after school and about half had no prior wrestling experience, according to Venenciano. Three days a week, they would practice alongside the high school team for two hours, conditioning for competition as well as their future in the Farmers wrestling program. In the first of three competitions this season, Molokai Middle School (MMS) placed second in Lahaina due to a low number of wrestlers at the start of the season, according to Kelly Ka`awa-Richardson, MMS student activities coordinator. In January, the athletes traveled to Oahu to compete against several private and public intermediate schools, placing first. They went on to also win the state tournament at Maui’s Baldwin gym, where 10 of 19 athletes competed in the finals, taking home the trophy. “There’s a difference between the 2 competition they go against,” said assistant coach Bill Umi. “Other teams compete year round…so going into it, they’re hungry to compete and to win.” Umi said this season’s success largely had to do with Venenciano’s wrestling expertise and skill. As a MHS alumni, Venenciano’s roots are grounded with the Farmers wrestling program. Part of the 1987 team, both Venenciano and his twin brother were two of the first Molokai wrestlers to win the state championships. While his experience includes a championship title, his coaching uses a humble philosophy. “All my life, I considered losing as a value gained,” said Venenciano. “Losing is okay if one’s trying their best. As long as they go out there, perform and try their best, that’s a win.” His approach hasn’t only been successful on the mat; it has also grabbed attention in school. “The kids’ maturity level has risen greatly,” said Ka`awa-Richardson. “The values they’re learning apply elsewhere and that’s been the most impressive—to see that cross-over.” Though the regular season is over, Venenciano is planning an on-island tournament, bringing teams across the state and from the mainland to compete in the Barn this spring. He encourages kids to come out for the program next season. “Take a chance!” said Venenciano. “These kids faced their fears and I believe every student should have this experience to benefit themselves and their futures.” Lions Roar: Vision Screenings Molokai Lions Club News Release February was a big month for vision screening on Molokai. On Feb. 3-4, the Molokai Lions Club did their yearly school vision screening. Lion volunteers along with Doctors Karsten Lee and Carlys Higuchi from Maui Optix screened 395 children in four elementary schools and four preschools. Twelve children were found to have a possible problem and the school health aid will refer that finding to the parent. This service has been going strong for many years and it’s been enhanced in the last several years with the help of the Maui doctors. Your support of the Lions Annual Walk for Sight helps the club defray the air cost for the doctors. They volunteer their time away from their Maui practice. The Big Bus was in town the first of February as well. Project Vision Hawaii brought their Vision Van to Molokai Feb. 5-9. The van’s visit is sponsored and scheduled by the Molokai Lions Club. The van’s mission is to provide a comprehensive vision screening, free of charge, to any and all who visit the various sites. This year, Lions were able to schedule the van at two of the island’s largest employers, Mycogen Seeds and Monsanto. At these sites volunteers were able to screen more than 100 people. Over the five days, members screened 335 people. Special thanks goes out to Lyndon Dela Cruz and Makoa Trucking for their help. Lyndon volunteered to move the van wherever we needed it and Makoa Trucking provided movement on and off Young Brothers barge as well as providing secure storage when the Van was not in use. Their help was instrumental in the success of the visit. The administrators at Project Vision were very pleased with the visit to Molokai and plan to return as long as there is a need on our island.

The Molokai event is on Saturday, May 17 at the Kulana `Oiwi Halau from 9 a.m. to noon. The seminar will provide an overview of preservation essentials in the context of each island community. The three-hour class will include topics such as what is historic preservation and why does it matter, standards and framework: how does this all work, and historic preservation and the island air Continued From pg. 1 One Molokai Dispatch Facebook commenter called his recent trip between Oahu and Molokai on Island Air “horrific,” recounting long waits and an unplanned stop to Lanai. For others, it means one less flight option to Oahu on larger aircraft. Those requiring wheelchair accessibility or those exceeding 350 pounds in weight cannot fly Mokulele or Makani Kai’s snug, nine-seat planes. Even with `Ohana beginning service soon, it leaves Molokai residents with even fewer flight options. And for some, Island Air’s announcement could mean the loss of their jobs. local community. The seminar is appropriate for members of the community interested in preserving Hawaii’s historic and cultural places, including historic preservation review commissioners; cultural resource commissioners; planning commissioners; planning department staff; elected officials; local preservation organizations; community members involved with preservation issues; and planners, architects, land owners and contractors whose work may affect historic sites. The seminar has been submitted for approval of 2 AICP CM credits and for 2 AIA credits. Pre-registration is required. Information and online registration is available at historichawaii.org Local employees said they were not permitted to speak to the press. Another Facebook commenter said his neighbor is an employee of the company. “Now my neighbor is not only going to have find another job, but also figure out how to get health insurance for his family of five,” he wrote. “And that they give very loyal, long-term employees such short notice sucks.” Casey did not specify when asked the date Molokai employees were notified of the change, but said it was before the public announcement was made and before other Island Air employees were told. Island Air instructs customers with existing reservations after April 1 to call 1-800388-1105, or submit an inquiry through the company’s website at IslandAir.com. Youth & Sports The Molokai Dispatch • Feb 26, 2014 • Farmers Baseball Takes Tournament Photo by Rick Schonely By Molokai Dispatch Staff M olokai Baseball swept their first pre-season tournament at Duke Maliu Regional Park last weekend, taking first place with a 3-0 record. The Farmers beat PAC-5 12-2 in five innings Friday, followed by sweeping Kaimuki 11-0, also in five innings. They finished up the tournament taking Damien 4-1 in the tournament championship on Saturday. Boys Basketball Ends Season in Fourth By Jessica Ahles | Staff Writer E ntering the boys basketball season, coach Carl Adolpho Jr. called the year a building period. Two weeks ago, the boys ended their season earning fourth place at Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) Championships. “We thought we could do better, but it was a good experience for me as a first-year coach and for the team,” said Adolpho. After coming close to beating Seabury in the regular season—sometimes, just a few points away from victory -- Adolpho said the team was excited to get a chance to play them again in their first match-up of the MIL championship. However, tournament ended for the Farmers in a 35-58 upset that Thursday. Adolpho said while making shots was the team’s difficulty during the game, they greatly improved on their turnovers and passing by the end of the season. “They put the effort in [during practice], getting a grasp on the plays and understanding the fundamentals of the game,” he said. “…They needed to understand it and in the future, they will improve.” Salad Dressing Reunion 3 By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief Y oung Molokai entrepreneur Elijah Kaneshiro, now 20, created a recipe for salad dressing when he was eight. At 10, he went into commercial business, marketing his product at Outpost Natural Foods, Bamboo Pantry (now closed) and by special order. That’s how part-time Molokai residents Donald and Joanna Sunshine know Elijah. Donald recounts their meeting in his book “Life’s Moments,” describing with humor how Joanna began talking with the 10-year-old, who he describes as personable, smart and articulate. Donald writes that he assumes Elijah has sold many bottles to such endeared and unsuspecting ladies. The story ends with Joanna buying three of Elijah’s $20 bottles of salad dressing, much to Donald’s adoring annoyance (he concludes by admitting the dressing is pretty good). But the story doesn’t end there. Elijah, having finished high school, moved to the mainland and then to Oahu, where he got his pilot’s license. In January of 2013, he traveled to Bolivia, planning to work as a mission pilot. “But they didn’t have planes,” explains Elijah, “and you can’t be a pilot without planes.” So instead, he taught English to Spanish-speaking students, knowing only a few words of Spanish himself. He described the experience as a challenge, navigating the language barriers. In October, he returned to Oahu and worked for UPS. A few weeks ago, he came home to Molokai for a visit. In the meantime, Elijah’s mother, Brenda, had read Donald’s book and the story of the meeting over salad dressing. When he got home, she encouraged Elijah to call Donald and Joanna. He looked for their number in Virginia, where they spend half the year, but finally tracked them down on Molokai. Joanna answered the phone. She couldn’t believe who was on the line. “Stop what you’re doing and pick up the phone,” she called to Donald. “This is Elijah who made the salad dressing.” Ten years after their first meeting, Donald, Joanna and Elijah arranged a reunion and sat down to chat on Molokai. “It was wonderful to hear from him,” says Joanna. True to Donald’s suspicions, Elijah says he had many such interactions while selling his products and doesn’t remember their original encounter. But the reunion went as naturally as their meeting, and they enjoyed a conversation outsiders would have thought was between old friends. Elijah recalls his labor-intensive business, peeling 250 cloves of garlic by hand per batch of salad dressing. He says he slowed down by age 16, but hopes to get back into the business someday. But he’s currently preoccupied with another goal. He’s working toward his commercial pilot’s license and is thinking of buying a small plane with a friend. As an entrepreneur, he’s already thought of ways to make his plan financially feasible. He says he’s eventually hoping to work for a local airline. Having started a popular business at age 10, the Sunshines say they have no doubt he’ll be successful no matter what. Sixth Graders Offer Meaningful Messages By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief W ith messages like “stop bullying,” “stay safe and healthy,” “don’t do drugs,” “avoid peer pressure” and “don’t litter,” Kaunakakai School sixth graders created public service announcement (PSA) videos with a mix of humor and seriousness. They hope their messages will create a healthier community through educating the public to make better choices. The PSAs were written and acted by student groups, with assistance from teachers and filmed and edited by Daniel Emhoff from Akaku. The short films premiered before family, friends and community members earlier this month, and will also air on Akaku’s public access TV channels. “I am proud of the way you have come together as a class to identify the important issues affecting Molokai and working together to find solutions,” wrote Council Member Stacy Helm Crivello in a message to the students. “Your concern for the future of Molokai is truly inspiring and spurs me to do the best job for Molokai.” The PSAs were created through a Kamehameha Schools program called Kali`imamo, which focuses on speaking and listening skills, said Lauren Kikukawa, MHS Scoreboard Boys Wrestling MIL Championships 2/21-22 Molokai team, 3rd, 77.4 points 122-1 lbs: Michael Corpuz, 4th 147-1: Noah Caparida, 3rd 154-1: Alika Kaahanui, 4th 222-1: Iokepa Albino, 1st 287-1: Kuikamoku Han, 2nd Boys Baseball @ Duke Maliu Park 2/20-22 Molokai first place in preseason tournament Molokai 4, Damien 1 Molokai 11, Kaimuki 0 Molokai 12, PAC-5 2 a Kamehameha Schools Literacy and Instruction Support teacher at Kaunakakai School. Kali`imamo was originally designed as an after-school program, and this year, Kaunakakai was one of three schools in the state to pilot it in-school, Kikukawa said. “Using the Project Based Learning model helps students learn to realize they belong to a community, whether it be home, school, or our island and take the responsibility to make a change,” she explained, via email. Students began working on the PSA project last year when they identified community issues, created and conducted a survey and wrote reports based on the data they obtained, Kikukawa said. They then decided to make the PSAs to encourage their community to make better choices, filming them with Emhoff’s help in December. Though Crivello could not be present at the premiere in person, she made sure each sixth grader was presented with a letter of appreciation on behalf of the County Council. “It is with great pride and honor that I say mahalo… for doing a totally awesome job,” she wrote.

Originally built in 2001, the Pu‘unānā Communication Tower is an integral component of our system as it allows for us to visually monitor and control our system via Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) controls. The existing communication tower is now 12 years old and must be replaced due to extensive corrosion that causes safety concerns for both the public and for our workers. The overall work scope involves removing the existing 100-foot tower and placing a new 60-foot tower on the same foundation. The work is scheduled to begin in February 2014 and will be conducted in three phases. The first phase will involve the installation of a temporary 40-foot tower which will provide the necessary communications while the existing tower is being re-built. The second phase involves the disassembling and removing of the existing 100- foot tower. The third, and final phase, will involve the erection of the new 60-foot tower on the same foundation as the old tower and disassembling the temporary tower. The entire project is expected to be complete by summer 2014. Please contact us if there are any questions or concerns. Emily Smith - Pu‘unānā Communications Tower Replacement Project Manager [email protected] 808-872-3251 Maui County businesses looking to expand, strengthen or diversity have an opportunity to apply for funding through the Mayor’s Office of Economic Development (OED). The office is rolling out a program designed to support Maui, Molokai and Lanai businesses. The Economic Development Revolving Fund (EDRF) was created by the Mayor’s Office and passed by the Maui County Council in late 2011. The fund currently has $1 million which, by ordinance, was designed to strengthen and diversify the County’s economy; to support existing County businesses; to promote job creation; to attract new business, industry, construction, and events that will foster economic development in the County; and to improve the overall economic and social wellbeing of the County. “This is a visionary program that could become a catalyst for growth for many businesses out there,” said Mayor Alan Arakawa. “By providing the capital, we provide opportunities for business to expand and hire new people and buy more goods and services from our community.” Although the program met with Council approval several years ago, much research was needed to put together the right policies and procedures, as well as creating the proper 4 application process. Councilman Don Guzman, chairman of the Council’s Economic Development, Energy, Agriculture and Recreation Committee, helped to format the program. The EDRF is designed to give either grants or loans to both for-profit and nonprofit businesses that have a strong balance sheet, have established markets that show growth potential, and show strong potential for creating living wage employment for Maui County residents. The fund purpose is to assist companies with these qualifications to expand their business through additional locations, new equipment, exporting opportunities, R&D for a demonstrated capability or product, or to commercialize capability or a new product. The minimum award that will be made is $50,000. All applicants will need to demonstrate a one to one match in cash. The cash match can come from a third party grant or loan. Organizations or businesses that have other active grants with the County of Maui are not eligible to apply for this program. The program will run year round until all available funds are pledged. There is no deadline for applications. The application and program details may be found on OED’s web page at mauicounty.gov/OED or for additional information call the Mayor’s Office of Economic Development at 808-270-7710.

In light of this, we would like to introduce the many new faces that you will be seeing on our campus and how they may be a resource to you. Our new Dental Director, Benjamin Mead, DDS, is a Hilo-born University of Hawaii, Manoa graduate who finished his dentistry program at the University of Missouri Kansas City School where he completed his studies in 2008. Dr. Mead returned home to Hawaii Island where he worked in both a private practice setting as well as at a public health clinic as a lead dentist. Since working on Hawaii Island, Dr. Mead had the opportunity to join our team here at MCHC as a temporary provider. This opportunity led Dr. Mead to “fall in love with the clinic and its mission, and especially the island of Molokai” and to accept the position as our lead dentist. If you haven’t met Dr. Mead on our campus, you may see him out surfing or fishing. To make an appointment with Dr. Mead, please call 553-4511, Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. (closed Fridays). Our dental department handles comprehensive dental care from routine visits to complex cases. We accept patients as early as six months of age and are currently accepting new patients. COMMUNITY CALENDAR WEEKLY EVENTS In an effort to increase Hawaii’s food production and help decrease dependency on imported foods, Kamehameha Schools and Ke Ali`i Pauahi Foundation teamed up to create an agricultural business plan contest. The first Mahi`ai Match-Up hoped to attract experienced farmers with innovative ideas to grow food on vacant agricultural lands owned by Kamehameha Schools. The opportunity attracted 148 local farmers. The organizations just announced the first, second and third place winners of the contest, and Molokai’s Mapulehu Farms placed third. Winning teams receive an agricultural lease from Kamehameha Schools with up to five years of waived rent and money from Ke Ali`i Pauahi Foundation. The gala, where the winners were announced, was a fundraiser to raise monies for agricultural scholarships and grants to help cultivate a new generation of farmers for Hawaii. The top three finalists presented their business plans in front of judges for the $25,000 first place, $15,000 second place and $10,000 third place prizes. Oahu’s Holoholo General Store, specializing in Community Supported Agriculture, came in first, and organic piggery Kaunamano Farms on Hawaii Island placed second. Mapulehu Farms is an organic mango farm offering agricultural farms tours to teach the community about Hawaiian-based farming practices and traditional varieties native to Mapulehu, Molokai. Coconut, banana, taro, and sweet potato will also be added to the 43-acre mango orchard. “We associate food with culture and traditions that bind us together as a community,” said Keawe Liu, Executive Director of Ke Ali`i Pauahi Foundation. “The need to partner with others to increase local food production for a sustainable Hawaii is essential.” For more information regarding Kamehameha Schools partnering with others for a sustainable Hawaii, visit ksbe. edu/land.

What do you think? thing you do. You shouldn’t rely on any buffers, surrogates, or intermediaries. Metaphorically speaking, make sure that TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Life is like Sanskrit read to a nothing comes between your bare hands and the pure snow. pony,” said Lou Reed. That might be an accurate assessment for most people much of the time, but I don’t think it will SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In his song “4th of July, be true for you in the coming days. On the contrary: You will Asbury Park (Sandy),” Bruce Springsteen mentions a dishave a special capacity to make contact and establish con- appointing development. “That waitress I was seeing lost nection.

If anyone can get a pony to understand Sanskrit, it will themselves on fire for you. If for some reason this isn’t true, be you. fix the problem! You have a cosmic mandate to be incomparably irresistible. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Does Kim Kardashian tweak and groom her baby daughter’s eyebrows? They look pretty SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Some people say amazing, after all -- elegant, neat, perfectly shaped. What do home is where you come from,” says a character in Katie you think, Gemini? HA! I was just messing with you. I was Kacvinsky’s novel Awaken. “But I think it’s a place you need checking to see if you’re susceptible to getting distracted by to find, like it’s scattered and you pick pieces of it up along meaningless fluff like celebrity kids’ grooming habits.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The 19th-century American folk hero known as Wild Bill Hickok was born James Butler Hickok. At various times in his life he was a scout for the army, a lawman for violent frontier towns, a professional gambler, and a performer in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. Women found him charismatic, and he once killed an attacking bear with a knife. He had a brother Lorenzo who came to be known as Tame Bill Hickok. In contrast to Wild Bill, Tame Bill was quiet, gentle, and cautious. He lived an uneventful life as a wagon master, and children loved him. Right now, Cancerian, I’m meditating on how I’d like to see your inner Wild Bill come out to play for a while, even as your inner Tame Bill takes some time off. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What words bring the most points in the game of Scrabble? Expert Christopher Swenson says that among the top scorers are “piezoelectrical” and “ubiquitarianism” -- assuming favorable placements on the board that bring double letter and triple word scores. The first word can potentially net 1,107 points, and the second 1,053. There are metaphorical clues here, Capricorn, for how you might achieve maximum success in the next phase of the game of life. You should be well-informed about the rules, including their unusual corollaries and loopholes. Be ready to call on expert help and specialized knowledge. Assume that your luck will be greatest if you are willing to plan nonstandard gambits and try bold tricks. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “If I was a love poet,” writes Rudy Francisco, addressing a lover, “I’d write about how you have the audacity to be beautiful even on days when everything around you is ugly.” I suspect you have that kind of audacity right now, Leo. In fact, I bet the ugliness you encounter will actually incite you to amplify the gorgeous charisma you’re radiating. The sheer volume of lyrical soulfulness that pours out of you will have so much healing power that you may even make the ugly stuff less ugly. I’m betting that you will lift up everything you touch, nudging it in the direction of grace and elegance and charm. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sorry to report that you won’t win the lottery this week. It’s also unlikely that you will score an unrecognized Rembrandt painting for a few dollars at a thrift store or discover that you have inherited a chinchilla farm in Peru or stumble upon a stash of gold coins half-buried in the woods. On the other hand, you may get provocative clues about how you could increase your cash flow. To ensure you will notice those clues when they arrive, drop your expectations about where they might come from. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take,” says hockey great Wayne Gretzky. In other words, you shouldn’t be timid about shooting the puck toward the goal. Don’t worry about whether you have enough skill or confidence or luck. Just take the damn shot. You’ll never score if you don’t shoot. Or so the theory goes. But an event in a recent pro hockey game showed there’s an exception to the rule. A New York player named Chris Kreider was guiding the puck with his stick as he skated toward the Minnesota team’s goalie. But when Kreider cocked and PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Avery, a character in Anne Michaels’ novel The Winter Vault, has a unique way of seeing. When he arrives in a place for the first time, he “makes room for it in his heart.” He “lets himself be altered” by it. At one point in the story he visits an old Nubian city in Egypt and is overwhelmed by its exotic beauty. Its brightly colored houses are like “shouts of joy,” like “gardens springing up in the sand after a rainfall.”After drinking in the sights, he marvels, “It will take all my life to learn what I have seen today.” Everything I just described is akin to experiences you could have in the coming weeks, Pisces. Can you make room in your heart for the dazzle? week Word of the Support Molokai’s only newspaper by supporting our generous advertisers.

Community Contributed Tips from the Vet for Your Pet: Choosing Dog Food By Dr. Stewart Morgan, DVM | Molokai Humane Society With all the different dog foods that someone could buy, it helps to get an idea of what is best for your individual dog. Dogs that are pregnant, nursing, growing, used for hunting/sport or simply house pets have different needs when it comes to food. The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) is a group that sets standards for marketing and labeling of animal feed and marketing. The standards they set on pet food labels are the guidelines companies use to make pet foods that are considered adequate for different times in a dog’s life. Dog food packages have an AAFCO nutrition statement telling what the food is adequate for. When choosing a food for your dog, first look to see if the AAFCO label says that the food is made for your dog’s age or condition. That is a good first step to seeing if the food is okay for your pet. The ingredient list on the package lists the ingredients by weight at the start of preparation. Most quality dog foods have good animal sources of protein (chicken, beef, chicken meal, fish meal, etc.) as the first few ingredients; these are muscle meats. “By-product meal” means the protein source may not be all muscle meat, but kidneys, liver, intestines, or feet, bones, etc. Some of these are good protein sources, some not so good. Meal (like chicken, lamb, fish) can be a source of more protein than meat because meat is mostly water and dries out while cooking. Dry food is usually the most economic type of food because it is easier to store and you need to feed smaller amounts. A cup of dry food has more calories than a cup of canned food, because canned food is usually about 76 percent water, while dry food is about 10 percent water. Cheaper is not always better. A quality dog food is easily digested and fits your pet’s lifestyle. For a hunting dog, a cheap food that a 50 pound dog needs six cups to keep their weight on is not as good as a quality food that that same dog would only need two cups of per day. In the long run, the quality food will cost less and be better for your dog. At Molokai Humane Society, we can discuss your pet’s diet if you have further questions!

Letters & Announcements The Molokai Dispatch • Feb 26, 2014 • Heartfelt Thanks Rebel or Troublemaker? We, the family of the late Claude Alika Pule, will never be able to express our appreciation for the kindness and caring support that we received from family, many friends and the community of Molokai. Our heartfelt thanks to all the people who offered their concern and prayers during this difficult time.

Am I a rebel or a trouble maker? I face this labeling a lot. I have fought to protect the island of Molokai from development and resource mismanagement for the past 10 plus years, and to half of my island, I am viewed as a rebel who would do anything to protect the place of my birth and the future of this place. Then there are the people who view what I do as just making trouble. I am the reason that Molokai has no jobs, why tourists do not like coming to visit, etc. Why is caring for the future of this island, protecting its resources and saying “no” to bad ideas making trouble? At first, the haole tourist who wanted to vacation here and buy land was the enemy, but now they are the ones helping us to Inn, grand-nieces Linnie and gals, Brandon Vai and gang, Tony and Kapua Lauifi, Al and Alana, Abafo Ohana, Sam and Claudette Kaahanui and Ohana, Grandson Kohala and boys, Lanikeha Center, Molokai Dispatch and Todd Yamashita, MCSC, Carl Vincenti of Modern American Circus, George S.

Ten years ago, the “haoles” would’ve called me the trouble maker, and the Hawaiians calling me a rebel. Now, the haoles call me the rebel and the Hawaiians call me the trouble maker. I swore to protect my `aina from evil, un-pono practices, and to always pursue the restoration of our Hawaiian Kingdom, and nothing has changed! If you find yourself on the opposite side of me, I suggest you check where you are standing and what/who you are standing for. Rebel or Troublemaker, you decide. One thing that will never change is how much I love this place!

We want to quickly and publicly recognize the many, many families and friends – too numerous to name here – who worked hard throughout the day and evening for this amazing event. On behalf of the MCCTC students and their families, thank you all for your ongo- ing support and many donations and gifts. Keola Beamer and Moana, his wife, were impressed by the community’s support of our students. We look forward to sharing exciting news of our students’ college and career progress. Mahalo nui loa, Diane Mokuau, Ric Ornellas Co-Advisors Karen Harada, Hoku Haliniak, Suliana Aki Chaperones Impressed with Students On Friday, Feb. 14, supporters of Molokai College Career Tour Club (MCCTC) took a walk down memory lane while getting a glimpse of the future, at the former Pau Hana Inn, now the Molokai Community Health Center. The banyan reaching up to meet the star-studded sky was a fitting remember of this majestic and strategic tree still hovering and now protecting 19 aspiring young students who will embark on a fall tour to five east coast colleges. The fundraiser was extraordinary, with all the Valentine’s treats, flowers, candles, decorations, lucky numbers, entertainment, ono food (served by the students), a silent auction and heartfelt thanks from students, their principal and teachers. An added touch was a letter from and photo of one of the students on each table. The letter detailed this student’s goals as well as a request for a response from the community elders (table guests) who may have some wisdom to share. To be witness to the hopes and dreams of these career and college-bound young people gives a new dimension to a high school program with sincere determination and foresight. There’s a great deal of hard work and good work going on here. We have always cherished our years of teaching on the island and this experience just exemplifies how proud we are of these persevering young students. Keola Beamer, the slack key guitar master and professional entertainer for the evening, spoke of a bowl with a light, deep within all of us, holding the light of love. Nurture this light with kindness and compassion. Teach yourself and your loved ones to honor and share the love every day. It was so refreshing and humbling to see and hear students share their love of their culture through music, dance and story, and show appreciation to their school, teachers, counselors, principal, community, ohana and friends. Though we were there to help support the program, the real gift is in the dreams, hearts and minds of these bright, young people, with hope to reach for higher education, some to return to share their knowledge and aloha on Molokai. We were very grateful to be a part of this enlightening evening.
