JULY 29, 2015 - VOLUME 30, ISSUE 30 The Molokai Dispatch E CEL BRA YEA RS TIN G T H E I S L A N D ’S N E W S S O U R C E S I N C E 198 5 OF NEW MEO:50 Years S of ‘Helping People, Changing Lives’ Photos by Colleen Uechi By Colleen Uechi | Staff Writer A cross Molokai, the reach of Maui Economic Opportunity (MEO) is visible in many forms. There’s the rumbling pink and white bus that transports passengers from town to town. There are the storefronts whose owners have learned to be business savvy through MEO. There are pre-kindergarten keiki who have toddled through MEO’s Head Start program. “This is probably the most diverse organization you’ve got,” said State Representative Lynn DeCoite. “… I feel this community, if anything, without MEO would be drastically hurt.” Last Wednesday, the Molokai community celebrated 50 years of MEO’s service within Maui County. Residents came together to enjoy lunch, hula and musical performances, and a look back at MEO’s community programs. MEO was started as a Community Action Agency on Maui on March 22, THIS WEEK’S Dispatch 1965. The private nonprofit’s website states that it is dedicated to “eliminate poverty by providing opportunities in education, employment and training, transportation and other areas to help people, help themselves.” Molokai Branch Director Yolanda Reyes said MEO’s most-utilized service on the island is transportation, as the organization provides the only public bus system on Molokai. She estimated they transport about 100 people a week, from patients attending doctors’ appointments to students returning home from after athletic practices. “[Parents] have to be so many places at once and I think it takes a lot off of their plate just to make sure their children get home safely,” said Reyes. Reyes said the organization’s food distribution service also has a widereaching impact, as they distribute canned and nonperishable items nearly every day. MEO’s community projects help lower-income families with fees Pg. 2 Island Foundation Logo Winner Pg. 7 MEO Continued pg. 2 NFL to Honor Molokai, von Oelhoffen By Colleen Uechi | Staff Writer B Burn Damage on Club Canoes such as security deposits and a first month’s rent. Its nutrition program brings kupuna together regularly for good meals and good company. “Almost everyone on Molokai has benefitted from MEO activities,” said volunteer and program participant Gladys Brown, who Reyes added “has been with us from day one.” For many families, MEO has been a part of multiple generations. DeCoite said her grandmother Becky Mokuau went on many kupuna outings with MEO’s bus service, and DeCoite has taken Core Four business courses with the organization. “They’ve had many people from this island go through there,” said DeCoite. “They bring to you not just law, but they bring to you resources on where to go, and business plans, startup, finances.” Halawa tour guide Sean-Alan Kamai, who attended the celebration, etween 1961 and 2010, Molokai High School didn’t have a football team. That didn’t stop 1989 graduate Kimo von Oelhoffen from becoming a pro lineman and winning a Super Bowl. Thanks to von Oelhoffen, who started at defensive end in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2006 Super Bowl XL victory, Molokai is among 11 Hawaii high schools set to receive special recognition from the National Football League (NFL). In preparation for its 50th Super Bowl, the league plans to present golden footballs to the high schools of all coaches and players who have appeared in the NFL’s premier title game. “When you look at the list, you have perennial state powerhouse football programs like St. Louis and Punahou … and then you just have little old Molokai right there,” said MHS head football coach Mike Kahale with a grin. The commemorative golden leather footballs will be inscribed with the school and name of the player or coach. Aside from Molokai, the other 10 schools are all located on Oahu. Punahou and Kahuku top the list, each receiving three footballs. While it’s an honor for the school and the island, coaches and friends said it’s also a tribute to the defensive lineman’s tireless efforts to get to the professional level. “It’s just a feel good, inspirational story,” said Kahale. “You have a kid from Molokai that was athletic, had no opportunity to play football, for some reason had a passion for it. After high school [he] pursued it, and look. Super Bowl champion.” Although the Molokai-born von Oelhoffen competed in basketball and track at MHS. “He wanted to do well in whatever it was he was doing,” remembered classmate and teammate Matt Helm, NFL Continued pg. 2 Free Meals for Schools By Colleen Uechi | Staff Writer A s part of a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) program, free breakfasts and lunches will be available to students at all Molokai public schools starting this year. Those schools are among seven statewide that were selected by the Hawaii Department of Education (DOE) to pilot the program this year. While many Molokai students already qualified for free or reduced price meals, educators say the new program will be a relief for many families who didn’t previously qualify and will streamline the dining process. The federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program, which debuted in Illinois, Michigan and Kentucky in 2011, gives free meals to schools in which at least 40 percent of students qualify for free or reduced lunches. The seven schools chosen for the program in Hawaii are Kaunakakai Elementary, Kilohana Elementary, Maunaloa Elementary, Maunaloa Elementary, Molokai Middle and High Schools, Linapuni Elementary on Oahu and Mountain View Elementary on Hawaii Island. Office of School Facilities and Support Services Assistant Superintendent Dann Carlson said Molokai was selected because it offers all levels of schooling in one island community. “We can get a true vertical look at elementary, middle and high school,” he said. “[Molokai is] small enough and contained enough that, again, we have the opportunity to run the numbers and see if it’s feasible.” According to the DOE, the department was previously reimbursed $2.90 per lunch through student fees and federal funds. With CEP, the DOE will now receive a $3.67 reimbursement from the USDA. However, Carlson said that the state won’t be profiting from the program. To qualify, parents or guardians must fill out a survey reporting the number of students enrolled from their families and the household income level. Carlson said it’s vital to turn in the surveys because the data helps the DOE and schools qualify for other benefits. In addition, free bus service to and from school will also be provided for students who meet certain distance requirements. “The objective is to see what the impact is when those hurdles are taken away from a student,” said MHS principal Stan Hao. “Because nutrition is one and the other one is the ability to get to school. If those things are free what is the extent to which students and families will take advantage of that?” Kualapu`u School began the free meal program last year, and principal Lydia Trinidad said that aside from creating less paperwork for both the school and parents, it was welcome break for many families who were paying full price. “There’s no distinction between free and paid kids,” she said. “You still had middle class families still struggling to make ends meet, and it’s just a chance … [to] save some money.” Read more about this program in next week’s issue of the Dispatch. Why I fly with Makani Kai Jackie, who runs Jackie’s Yard Service, has flown with us quite a bit. When asked why he chooses Makani Kai Air over Mokulele or Ohana, he doesn’t mince words and he’s direct, “It’s fast and it’s quick. No headache, no pain, no problem.” It’s a pity that all air travel can’t be that way, the way it used be. Thanks, Jackie, for being a regular with us.

Sponsored by Matson, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and Parley for the Oceans, this cleanup removes harmful marine debris from one of the most remote beaches on Molokai. Mo`omomi Beach, a mix of rocky and sandy coastline on the island’s north shore, is the first stopping point in the main Hawaiian Islands for marine debris coming from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. “Each Hawaiian Island has issues with marine debris but Molokai gets hit extra hard due to its open geography towards the north,” says Kahi Pacarro, Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii’s co-founder and executive director. “Last year we were shocked to the amount we found and we’re looking forward to bringing the community together again this year to remove even more.” In coordination with Matson, all marine debris collected will be brought back to Oahu to mitigate the impact to Molokai’s landfill. On Oahu, the marine debris will be recycled through SCH’s Ocean Plastics Program, NOAA’s Nets to Energy program, and the City and County of Honolulu’s waste to energy program. In 2014, 150 SCH volunteers removed 6,000 pounds of trash from Molokai, which was then processed on Oahu. Beach cleanup check in begins at 9:30 a.m. and the cleanup is from 10 a.m. to noon. Food and live music follow the cleanup from noon to 2 p.m. SCH will conduct educational outreach on Molokai July 28–31. Anyone interested in having them present to their group are encouraged to email [email protected]. Sustainable Coastlines is a registered nonprofit organization inspiring local communities to care for their coastlines through hands-on beach cleanups. One hundred percent of donations go to support beach clean-up efforts, coastal advocacy and community education. Since February 2011, Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii has hosted over 50 beach cleanups with over 17,000 participants and removed over 90,000 pounds of debris from Hawaii’s coastlines.

S everal canoes by Kaunakakai harbor were damaged last weekend, including a Wa`akapaemua Canoe Club boat with a pair of burned patches left on the outside of the hull. Wa`akapaemua board member Camie Kimball said following a large party at the nearby Yacht Club venue Friday night, club members came to practice Monday to a shocking sight. The club’s new carbon fiber Unlimited canoe, purchased for $20,000 last year, had been burned through its thick canvas cover. The burns did not go fully through the hull, but caused significant damage. “Someone must have sat there with a match,” she said, describing the time and purpose that seemed to be involved in causing the destruction. She said the canvas cover itself also cost in the thousands. Another one-man canoe had also been pulled off the top rack of a trailer Kalele Bookstore and MAC News Release Ariana is the author of Instructions for Preparing Your Skin (AnhinAriana Nadia Nash and Brandon ga Press, 2013), which won the 2011 W.

Canoes of a neighboring club were left covered in mud and footprints, Kimball said. “Our message would be that parents… [and] kids need to have respect for the canoes down there,” said Kimball. “Teach them to have respect for other people’s property.” Kimball added that the club is not yet sure of the repair costs. A police report was filed for the damage. Community Contributed Paddle Race Brings Fun and Competition By Clare Seeger Mawae Evening of Poetry and Prose Ph Ca m o t o by 2 Molokai is prominent in the paddling circles whether it is OC1, OC6, Ski or SUP as Molokai is hailed as the official center of the World Championship long distance paddle races. Molokai 4 Molokai was conceived after watching one too many events finish on Molokai and competitors leaving soon after. The 8.5 mile race course continued on from where the former Molokai Holokai race left off and prior to that the Molokai Challenge. This year there were two courses, long and short, and four categories with 12 divisions. The event was blessed with the presence of Keith Reagan, Herman Andaya and Sharon Zalsos from the County of Maui at the start of the race. Kamalo Harbor was bustling with activity. Following a beautiful pule by Clay Ching, the SUP paddlers started at 2:30 p.m. with a sea of orange shirts making a beautiful contrast against the blue of the ocean. The OC1s started out at the Kamalo buoy 15 minutes later, and the short course paddlers took off from Kakahaia Beach Park 30 minutes after the first start. Jeremy Riggs from Maui took the honors for this year’s SUP race, with Vinnie Martins from Brazil in second and Tomo Murabayashi from Japan taking third place overall. In the women’s SUP division, it was Gail MEO Continued From pg. 1 said his father Charles once drove a bus for MEO, and now Sean-Alan brings his kids to Head Start. Reyes said she loves the chance to be working within the community to meet needs over generations. The Molokai branch employs 16 staff members and has about 30 volunteers. NFL Continued From pg. 1 who grew up down the street from von Oelhoffen. “When practice was over, that didn’t mean that he was over. He would be in the gym doing a few extra reps when he could.” Known as “Scooby” to friends, von Oelhoffen took his 6-foot-4-inch frame to the University of Hawaii, Walla Walla Junior College and finally Boise State University to play football. Despite a string of injuries, in 1994 he was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the sixth round. He later became a stronghold on the Steelers’ defensive line, starting all but two games over six seasons despite his physically taxing position. Von Oelhoffen, who retired after 14 seasons and one Super Bowl ring, is now a defensive line coach at Western Oregon University. “He was always smiling and kind Walker from the US Virgin Islands, Lena Ribeiro from Brazil and Youth In Motion’s 2015 team member Kali`a Alexiou in third. Both Alex Mawae and Kali`a took the win in the Juniors division. The OC 1 race was between two local boys Kamakou Mariano and James Puaa Spencer fighting it out in the last mile, with Kamakou taking the final victory. James took second and 16-year-oldold Jake Samaniego in third. The Molokai women were just as intense with Liliana Napolean taking the overall win, Camie Kimball in second and Desiree Puhi in third. The short course consisted of the recreational paddler and this was an awesome group. They paddled for fun but yet had the competitive and fun spirit keeping the grass roots of paddling alive. Winning the short course was Kana Marutani from Japan. M4Molokai was claimed by many as one of the best events in Hawaii. Everyone had fun, from the racers to the spectators, the community to the sponsors and entertainment, to the chefs and volunteers. This race was all about Molokai and after all, Molokai is hailed as the center for the World Championship races of long distance paddling. Molokai4Molokai will be back for 2016. Community needs have changed and continue to change, MEO Chief Executive Officer Lyn McNeff acknowledged in a Feb. 20 Dispatch article. For example, children, not kupuna, are now the largest group in poverty, according to MEO’s needs assessments. However, McNeff said MEO must counter rising obstacles with “new strategies, targeted funding and a refusal to accept that this situation is inevitable.” to everybody,” said Helm. “… He got exactly what he deserved and he did it in the right way. I’m very proud and happy for him.” Football was revived on Molokai in 2010 when the Farmers joined the Maui Interscholastic League’s eight-player league. Last year Molokai finished second and will again be championship contenders this season. Athletic Director Lee DeRouin said the school’s golden football honor sends a great message to current and future Farmers. “That just tells you that even though something is not provided … don’t let it stop you from trying to reach your dreams,” said DeRouin. “… Attend a college or junior college and try out, give it a shot, and you never know where it can lead. And it Kimo’s case it lead him to play at the highest level of competition.” There are no dates yet scheduled for the presentation of the footballs, as well as no word on whether von Oelhoffen himself will bring the football back to his alma mater.

The keynote speaker for the conference was Dave Isay, the founder of StoryCorps, who believes that everyone should have the opportunity to tell their story. This, I have come to know, is a way of life for island people who talk story and seek to live their story of closeness to the land and each other. Mother Teresa embodied this truth: “We belong to each other.” Saints Damien and Marianne also strived to live an integrated life by caring for others on Kalaupapa. Their lives speak to those on the same healing path. I am a speech pathologist who came on the tail end of the generous USDA grant that set up the rehabilitation clinic, Wai Ola Hina, several years ago. Though I was to support ongoing development of the services for swallowing, speaking, thinking and communicating, the clinic closed soon after my arrival. I have returned to Molokai over the past four years through the supported efforts of Na Pu`uwai and the Molokai Community Health Center to restore a collaborative model for more regular service provision. The rehabilitation department within Molokai General Hospital has also taken part in helping me understand your unique island culture. Our common goal is to provide the best rehabilitation support for those who return from off-island acute hospital settings to their homes on Molokai. I plan a return visit Aug. 7-14 and will be presenting a short community information session on brain wellness. I hope to provide one-on-one follow-up with clients and their family support systems along with sharing this ongoing learning opportunity for up-to-date strategies to maximize rehabilitation benefit. As a facilitator of our Stroke Survivor Group for the past 19 years, I find that my professional respect for this mutual responsibility in shared learning is critical for improving day-to-day quality of life, not only for my clients and their families but also for my best understanding of my clients’ changing needs. As our brains heal in bringing a sense of stability to our lives, so too, our communities must likewise provide an integrated network of di- verse opportunities to extend the new learning/healing process through different levels of support. I invite you to share your ideas and needs in how we can continue our collaborative efforts in this process of developing multi-disciplinary support through your already existing health resources. Your stories about healing and your active participation in the life transformation process from hospitalization to a return to your best quality of life at home, are valuable lessons to share. Please join me in cultivating our more active engagement in nurturing our individual community sense of well-being. Please contact me at Na Pu`uwai at 560-3653; times, date and location TBD.

REIKI ON MOLOKAI Individual Sessions and Group Retreats (Free group sessions once a month) Zelie Duvauchelle - Call: 808-558-8207 6 Community Contributed Veterans Corner Retraction By Jesse Church In our July 1 issue of the Dispatch in my column, I erroneously gave authorship of the Declaration of Independence to Benjamin Franklin. One of our readers, who wishes to remain anonymous, called me to tell me it was not Franklin but Thomas Jefferson who wrote it, and that person is correct. On June 11, 1776, Congress elected five men to write the Declaration and Jefferson, who got the most votes, became the head of the committee. No person outside of Congress, and very few friends, knew that Jefferson had written the Declaration of Independence, a fact that surprisingly was not published in any American newspaper until eight years later, in 1784. The response to the Declaration by the American public had been tremendous, and Jefferson lived through all the bell ringing and speeches without any mention that he was the author. Benjamin Franklin did write a second Declaration of Independence two years later, but it was never signed or adopted by Congress.

Follow us on Twitter at “Like” us on Facebook LETTERS & ANNOUNCEMENTS Energy Flows Where Attention Goes I humbly encourage everyone to research Bernie Sanders. Bernie is an outspoken senator from Vermont who is running a grassroots presidential campaign for the 2016 election. His passion for helping the people of the world and addressing issues like governmental corruption, wealth inequality, climate change, education reform, prison reform and many other legitimate causes, set him apart from any other person in Washington. Getting a person like Bernie elected president could have revolutionary impacts all over the world. I believe he is fighting against a power system that has been plighting the world and indigenous peoples for a long time. He is fighting the power system that occupied the Hawaiian Islands and many other lands all over the world. On this small island, we don't have much influence through voting. However, by focusing our attention, we can add energy to a revolutionary movement that would improve not only this blessed island in the middle of the Pacific but the entire world. I never expected for a man like this advocating the things he does to arise out of the U.S. political system. It brings tears of great hope listening to him speak. His words and the support of so many of our brothers and sisters bring tears of great hope for all our children and future generations. I'd like to share this hope with you. You can see many of his videos on YouTube simply by searching Bernie Sanders. He has an active Facebook page. You can also visit berniesanders.com/about to learn more about him and the movement that is gaining strength. It is by the energy of so many coming together that movements like this gain strength. As powerful a place as Molokai is, we can add an incredible amount of strength toward spreading love, freedom, justice and equality throughout the world. Molokai Pule O'o Thanks Beau Grega Community Contributed Island Foundation Logo Winner By Barbara Haliniak Congratulations to Michael Onofrio, winner of the Molokai Island Foundation’s (MIF) logo contest. Michael was presented with a $200 check for his winning design, which depicts a gourd, a vine that reaches out and bears a hard shell fruit used as an implement (ipu) adorned with kukui nuts and leaves. This exemplifies the foundation’s purpose: to reach out into the community, to serve and support its needs. Michael graduated from Molokai High School in 2013 and is about to begin his junior year at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island, where he majors in graphic design. Michael is ready to give back to the community and assist with graphic design projects. To contact him, visit michaelonofrio.com. Be on the lookout for MIF’s logo celebrating the organization’s 10th anniversary serving the Molokai community through its annual events. These include the Maui Hotel & Lodging Molokai Charity Walk (first Saturday in May), Happy Holidays Molokai Style Christmas Light Parade and Ho`olaulea, five-pound Rice Give-a-Way (first Saturday in December), the Senior Luncheon (a Friday in December) and supporting education through involvement with Maui Economic Development Board’s Women in Technology STEM Works Ke Alahele Education Fund (year round). Traveling Memorial Wall MVCV News Release A smaller version of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall will be visiting Molokai, and its creator is asking for our help. Janna Hoehn is a Maui resident and has dedicated herself to developing a traveling memorial, a portable model similar to the wall in Washington, D.C. Like its larger counterpart, it has all 58,307 names of the men and women killed in action in Vietnam. Janna will grace us with herself and her wall at the dedication of the new Molokai Veterans Center on Aug. 14. Janna travels all over our state and even California with the wall, going to schools and veteran events. She is now working to get pictures with every name. In the past three years, she has collected approximately 42,000 photos. Janna is asking for Molokai’s help. She needs pictures of five Molokai veterans who were killed in Vietnam: Doulas Flores, Robert Maluenda Calibuso, Charles Crane, William Frank Storch Jr., and John Rego. Janna would also like to talk to their families. So if their families, or anyone who was friends with these brave men or has pictures of them at any age, please contact Jesse Church at 553-3323 or come to the Veterans Center dedication on Friday, Aug. 14 at 10:30 a.m. to speak with her.

Not only was our young kanaka maoli who seems to be one of our many young opi`o who have conquered the western education off subject, but was very disrespectful and I must admit that my instinct wanted to take this young boy by his neck when he began his diatribe in the presence of our kupuna. Nevertheless, e kala mai ia`u Na Kupuna O Molokai. This is in the interest of educating those who simply do not understand the scam of the Native Hawaiian Home Lands Recovery Act, 1995 (NHHLRA) especially native Hawaiians, whether they preside on Hawaiian Homes or not. They are beneficiaries to both the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act and the Statehood Admissions Act. The former U.S. Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa was invited to come to Molokai and share her views on the proposed rules by the Department of Interior (DOI). We are where we are not by mistake, for a longtime our political “okoles” have decided the road of deceit and denial in order to cover up the scams of the Ceded Lands exchanges that began in the 1900s, by every governor of this crooked state. It is sad but true, there are many people, including the beneficiaries to the Ceded Lands Trust, who have no idea that the scam of dismantling native Hawaiians right to self-determination began 40 years ago in secrecy, but is now without shame openly revealed. Our kupuna have long struggled as to what is a "rehabilitated" native Hawaiian. Still, for a major legislation since the HHCA, the Admissions Act, and the HHLRA not one Hawaiian agency, Hawaiian department, or the dozen of Hawaiian "nonprofit" swine hanging out at the OHA trough for the last 40 years has come forward to assist our kupuna in understanding the scam of "ambiguities" that this crooked state is heavily leaning on, as to why they failed to understand the meaning of "kaona" "for the betterment of the conditions of the native Hawaiian.” Samuel Kealoha Jr. OBITUARIES Joseph Sandoval Esquibal Joseph Sandoval Esquibal, age 47, died on July 8, 2015 in Austin, Texas.
