F
ather Felix Vandebroek, pastor of
St. Francis of Assisi Church in Kalaupapa, was found dead on Aug.
28 at the Sacred Hearts Center in Kaneohe. He was 82.
Originally from Belgium, Vandebroek served parishes in Hawaii for
more than 50 years, and presided over
the Hansen’s disease settlement at
Kalaupapa for the last three. He had
recently returned to Hawaii after a
month-long stay in Belgium, where he
was visiting family.
While resting at the center before returning to Molokai, Vandebroek wasn’t
feeling well, said Father Chris Keahi,
provincial superior of the Congregation
of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Keahi knocked on Vandebroek’s door
the night before he was supposed to return to Molokai, but the priest did not
respond. He was found dead the following morning.
“I know he had heart problems
and diabetes,” Keahi added. “The police found some medication on his night
stand.”
Word of the priest’s death spread
quickly to Kalaupapa and to his parishioners, most of whom are Hansen’s disease patients.
“We miss him a lot,” said patient
Mele Watanuki. “His house and church
feels so empty.”
Watanuki, alongside her husband
Randall, helped Vandebroek with

School granted AYP appeal.
By Heather Driscoll
O
n Aug. 27, Kaunakakai Elementary School officials and teachers
breathed a sigh of relief after learning their school met federal benchmarks
for adequate yearly progress (AYP) in math
and reading scores this year.
In July, the school was denied “good
standing” status after missing the standards by 1 percent. Later that month, Principal Janice Espiritu submitted a request
to appeal the results, which would have
kept the school in restructuring. State officials reviewed the appeal and reversed
the school’s status to “unconditional good
standing.”
“We needed this,” Espiritu said. “It
was crucial for us to make AYP this year.
Everyone is so proud and thrilled.”
must meet a higher standard each year to
show they are making progress toward the
goal of having 100 percent proficiency in
reading and math by 2014.
Kaunakakai needed to meet AYP standards this year to get out of restructuring – a
sanction that involves severe intervention by
the state if a school fails to meet benchmarks
several years in a row. Instead, Kaunakakai
missed the mark by one category.

A

is challenging Maui
County Council Chairman
Danny Mateo’s
re-election bid,
arguing
another full term
would exceed
the five-term limit.
Nellie Laird-Woods filed a petition
in the Second Circuit Court on Aug. 27
seeking to disqualify Mateo, who represents Molokai on the county council,
from November’s election.
The Maui County Charter limits
the number of consecutive full terms
council members can serve to five. Mateo was appointed to his seat in 2002 after Council Member Pat Kawano died.
He was elected later that year and has
been re-elected three times.
Mateo is now running unopposed
for his fifth full term. But because he
served part of the 2001-2003 term, LairdWoods argues in court documents, he
would exceed the limit if he won and
served the 2011-2013 term.
“That’s where the problem is,” said
Lance Collins, Laird-Woods’ attorney.
“Because of that [partial term], he can’t
serve another term without violating
that [limit].”
Collins said his client is one of
many residents who have raised objec-

Correction
In the August 25, 2010 issue of The Molokai Dispatch, Jireh Umi’s wrestling
beginnings were incorrectly stated in “Friendly Isle Fighter.” Umi began in
club wrestling before high school and won sixth place at the high school state
championship in 2008. He represented Molokai at the national championship
with two other wrestlers (one boy and one girl). He was also one of four Molokai wrestlers to go to nationals, not three.
Bountiful Green Harvest
By Molokai Dispatch staff
A
few times a year, the Maui
County Vice department conducts marijuana raids around
the islands. The controversial “Green
Harvest” program flies helicopters over
rural areas searching for pot fields.
The last run at the end of August
netted 5,837 plants. Sgt. Wade Maeda of
the county’s vice department said this
is a higher number than usual, and attributes it to the recession.
The federally-funded program
started in Hawaii over three decades
ago. Many residents complain the low
flying helicopters invade their privacy
and are too loud. Maeda said when
searching, the choppers fly at 500 ft.

Hirono’s vote for the Federal Recovery Act helped fund the Hawaiian
Learning Center, the organization that
runs Keawanui Fishpond.
“This is real life – people can have
a job, do something they believe in, help
their families and get paid,” she said.
Hirono also visited with seniors
at Home Pumehana to discuss protecting Social Security, and with farmers
and staff from the Molokai Community
Service Council about agriculture on
Molokai, who shared their thoughts on
Molokai as Hawaii’s “bread basket.”
She also met with Molokai Habitat for

Rep. Mazie Hirono experienced
first-hand what goes into restoring one of Molokai’s precious 68
fishponds – the most of any Hawaiian
Island – and some of the passionate
people behind the movement.
At Keawanui Fishpond, students
from Ho`omanaHou School (pictured

and make artificial reef bits to protect
the real reef.
“They used to rip out the reef to sell
[for aquariums],” said teacher and supervisor Ua Ritte (bottom right). “This
is a better alternative,” he said, adding
that extra cement reef pieces are used as

has represented
Hawaii in the U.S.
Congress since before
Hawaii becamea state.
In June he was elected
President pro tempore
of the Senate by his colleagues, making him the second-highest-ranking official in the Senate and
third in line for the presidency.
Running for re-election for his
ninth term, Inouye was on Molokai
Aug. 23 for the groundbreaking of the
Molokai Community Health Center. He
talked with the Dispatch about the challenges facing Hawaii and what he is doing to help.
The Molokai Dispatch (MD):
What do you think is the greatest challenge facing Hawaii today?
Dan Inouye (DI): We are so far
away and, in a sense, isolated. If there’s
a catastrophe of some magnitude, we
are on our own, [so] we have to prepare
to be self-sufficient. Energy is an important part of it because we have become
over the years very dependant on fossil fuels. Thank God we are changing.
We have, for example, a law that says
new construction must have solar energy, which is good. And we have all the
natural resources here – water activity,
ocean-thermal energy conversion. We
have wind, we have sunshine. So it’s
almost endless and we should take advantage of all of that.
MD: How have you helped Molokai?
DI: I am in a capacity now that I can
provide help in getting federal funds.
Sweet potato growth, papaya growth –
all of these have federal funding. [The
Molokai Community Health Center]
has federal funding. Highways, the list
goes on and on. In fact, it might surprise
you to know that in special earmarks,
we have provided Native Hawaiians in
the last 11 years an average of $900 million a year.
MD: What is your take on the possibility of windmills of Molokai?
DI: The people of Molokai, as I’ve
tried to suggest, [should] get together
with the big landowner and see what he
has in mind and see if they can’t work
it out instead of just saying, “We don’t
want you.” I believe in being inclusive,
not exclusive, because often times we’ll
find that even those we may think differently may have some bright ideas…
My best friend in the Senate was a
Republican from Alaska – this was common sense, we have similar problems…
I believe in bi-partisanship, and how do
you get bi-partisanship? Not by being
exclusive. You have to be able to work
together.
MD: How does it feel to be running
for your ninth term in the Senate?
DI: If you had asked me on my second term how long will you be in this
business, I would have said maybe two
more terms. [Laughs] Frankly, I never
thought I’d reach this stage, but I feel
young.

augment

emergency medical services within
Maui County, Mayor Charmaine Tavares has released
$672,215 to fund the
state’s Emergency
Aeromedical Helicopter Services.
Better known as the air ambulance
program, the state service is jointly
funded by the County of Maui and the
state Department of Health to dispatch
helicopter air ambulances transporting
trauma victims from the scene of the
trauma to a hospital, and also between
hospitals. The state currently provides
50 percent of the cost of the service.
“As we examined our budget restraints earlier this year I had hoped
that the state Department of Health and
Maui Memorial Medical Center could
pay for this important service, which is
under their jurisdiction,” Tavares said.
“Since the state and hospital are not
able to financially support the entire
cost, I’m pleased that together with the
Council, we have found a way to help
pay for such a vital service for the is-
lands of Maui County.”
During the budget deliberations in
April, the mayor proposed that the air
ambulance could be partly funded by
utilizing unanticipated real property
tax revenues. The final budget ordinance reflects funding of $672,215 from
the county’s general fund for the air
ambulance.
Maui County’s air ambulance is
capable of responding to any island in
Maui County and is the only air ambulance in the state to serve multiple
islands. Over the past three years, a total of 70 flights have occurred between
Maui, Lanai, Molokai and Oahu.
All flights are conducted under
extensive protocols based on national
aeromedical, triage and transport guidelines established by the Association of
Air Medical Services, the American College of Surgeons and the National Association of Emergency Medical Services
Physicians.
To effectuate the protocols, a Memorandum of Understanding has been
executed between the State Department
of Health, and the County departments
of Transportation, Police, Fire and Public Safety and Parks and Recreation.

Kuwada, arguing he failed to perform
his duty by not submitting her objection

New Bottomfish Fishing
Year Opens
Department of Land and Natural Resources News Release
S
tate marine waters have opened
up for the new bottomfish fishing
season, starting on Sept. 1, 2010.
The Department of Land and Natural
Resources (DLNR) closed the fishing
season earlier this year on April 20.
Seven bottomfish species were affected
by this closure: onaga, ehu, opakapaka,
kalekale, gindai, lehi, and the hapuupuu.
The proposed total allowable catch
(TAC) for the new fishing year is 254,050
pounds of Deep 7 bottomfish. The TAC
is monitored through commercial landings. The bottomfish fishery will close
when the 2010-2011 commercial landings reach the TAC limit, or on Aug. 31,
2011 when the fishing year ends, which-
ever comes first.
DLNR also reminds bottomfish
fishers that the state’s twelve bottomfish restricted fishing areas will continue to remain closed to bottomfish fishing. The restricted areas around Maui
County include Penguin Bank off La`au
Point; Kalaupapa (between Haloku
Falls and Lae Ho`o Lehua); MolokaiMaui (between Moku Ho`oniki and
Lipoa Point); and Mokumana-Umalei
Point, Maui.
All other existing state rules
for bottomfish and fishing for
bottomfish
remain
applicable.

A Light from Heaven
New shop supplies Molokai’s camping,
hunting, fishing needs
by John Thoene
L
ocated right above American
Savings Bank in Kaunakakai is
Molokai’s newest store, A Light
from Heaven. They held their grand
opening Sept. 7, presenting to the community an array of camping, hunting
and fishing supplies and accessories.
Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday
through Saturday; 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Wednesday, and closed Sunday. Although there are a couple of stores on
the island that sell fishing merchandise
and some camping equipment, we do
not have a store that specifically spe-
cializes in camping, hunting and fishing. We do not wish to compete with
the other stores; rather, we will sell
what the other stores do not.
The owners, John and Lina
Thoene, grew up on the Big Island, but
moved to Molokai last year. Both have
family ties to the island – John is the
great-grandson of Henry and Helen
Wiebke, former teachers and principals of several schools on the island,
and Lina is the daughter of Norine
Flowers and Godwyn Punahele and
granddaughter of Pearl Punahele.

Use Your Strawberry Guava
By Pelin Morawski
A
lot of people see strawberry guava as a nuisance, but maybe if they knew
more about how useful this small tree can be (delicious fruit, wood for
building and firewood), they wouldn’t be so quick to loath it – or feel the
need to unleash Brazilian scale insects on it that may have unforeseen negative
consequences in our environment!
Strawberry Guava
Shortcakes
Warning: this is extremely delicious!
• 1/3 c. flour
• ¼ t. finely chopped macadamia
nuts
• 2 T + 1 ½ t. sugar (raw sugar
works well)
• 1 ½ t. baking powder
• ¼ t. salt
• 1 c. fresh squeezed coconut cream
• 1 T sugar
• Strawberry guavas (or regular
guavas). Use as many as you like
for for this recipe I recommend at
least four cups
• More sugar to mix with the guava
pulp
By Walter Ritte
Heat oven to 425 F.
Whisk flour, two tablespoons
sugar, baking powder and salt together in a bowl till blended. Add coconut cream and stir with a fork till
mix comes together to form a dough.
Transfer dough to work surface and
form into a six-inch long log. Cut into
six rounds. Place rounds on ungreased
baking sheet.
Sprinkle tops with the 1 ½ t. sugar. Bake 10 to 15 minutes till golden.
Halve the guavas, spoon out
pulp and remove seeds by putting it
through a sieve. Add as much sugar as
sieved pulp and mix with the guava
shells.
Hot from the oven, break open
the biscuits and butter them. Then add
a generous helping of the sweetened
guava pulp. Top with whipped coconut cream and garnish with mac nuts
if you like! Serve and enjoy.

D
on’t miss this one-time performance on Molokai: “Family
Laundry,” a musical, comedy
and a drama about a local Hawaiian
family and their struggle to deal with a
family member’s alcohol abuse.
The play will be performed at the
Mitchell Pauole Center on Sept. 10 at 7
p.m., and is free to the public.
The title of the play, “Family Laundry”, comes from the belief that you
should never air the family’s laundry or
let the family problems become public.
The play shows, however, that the act
of sharing the family’s secrets can be a
very courageous one, particularly when
it comes to alcohol and other drug problems.
Although the story portrays a Hawaiian family, all families are affected
by the use and abuse of alcohol. “Family Laundry” is funded by a grant from
the County of Maui – Department of
Housing and Human Concerns; Strategic Prevention Framework – Statewide
Initiative Grant; the state Department
of Health – Alcohol Drug Abuse Division; and produced by Neighborhood
Place of Wailuku.
We hope that after the performance, community members will begin
to see how they can join in on a community wide effort to prevent underage
drinking in our county. The play serves
as an excellent opportunity for parents
and caregivers to begin a dialogue with
their children about the harmful effects
that alcohol and drug use can have on a
family. The play is written to be appropriate for all family members.

“The little agency with a big heart”
Willing to Serve
Vandebroek was born in Belgium
on Feb. 29, 1928. He entered the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts in 1949, and
later moved to the Hawaiian Isles in
1956. Vandebroek’s ministry in Hawaii
spanned across all islands except Lanai.
His longest assignment was at St.
Raphael Church in Koloa, Kauai, for
24 years. He was later appointed to St.
Francis of Assisi Church in Kalaupapa
in 2007, and was formally installed by
Bishop Larry Silva on May 10, 2008 –
the feast day of St. Damien de Veuster.
Vandebroek was the latest priest to follow in the footsteps of Damien, his fellow countryman, who was canonized in
2009 for his work with Hansen’s disease
patients.
Keahi said although Kalaupapa is
one of the most challenging ministries
to preside over, Vandebroek went willingly.
“It was a little high for him coming from Hana,” Keahi said. “He lived
somewhat of a lonely life, especially
with no children. He loved children.”
Keahi said Vandebroek enjoyed
helping the isolated community, and recalled him as being a “warming, friendly and caring” person.
As Leoda Shizuma, council chair
of St. Damien Parish, shuffled through
photos of Vandebroek on her phone,
she, too, remembered him fondly.
“He really had a sense of humor,”
Shizuma said, as tears began to swell.
Father FelixVandebroek. Photo courtesy
of the Hawaii Catholic Herald.
“He had a connection with the local
people.”
Shizuma had last seen Vandebroek
at Kalaupapa in May for St. Damien’s
feast day. She recalled his sermon, saying that when he spoke, she could feel
the presence of Damien among them.
“He was so cute,” she added. “At
the end of every service he would say,
‘Mass pau.’”
While Keahi has yet to find another
priest for Kalaupapa, he said he would
send volunteers over on a weekly basis
in the meantime.
The funeral is Thursday at St. Patrick Church, 1124 7th Ave. in Kaimuki.
Visitation is at 5:30 p.m., followed by
Mass. The burial is set for Sept. 10 at
9 a.m. at the Valley of the Temples in
Kaneohe.

Mau’s Dream Lives On
Hawaii’s Voyaging Canoes converge in commemoration

lending ancient Hawaiian practices – malama
ka `aina – with modern
methods of sustainability –
solar panels and food forests
– is the topic of one of Matt
Yamashita’s films, showing
now on `Oiwi TV.
Yamashita is a local filmmaker who has shot a wide
range of documentaries. “Sustainable Living on the Island of
Molokai” was recently picked
up by Oahu-based, pay-perview station `Oiwi TV. The station began three years ago with
a focus on Native Hawaiian
programming, even featuring
a news program delivered in
Hawaiian.
“I first saw the trailer for
this when he released it, [and] I
knew instantly that I wanted it
on `Oiwi TV,” said `Oiwi Chief
Financial Officer Keoni Lee. “It
is pieces like this, ones that tell
the stories no one else is telling but should be. It was kind
of like ‘This American Life’ on
NPR but Molokai style.”
The video brings attention to the efforts of people
on Molokai, who are not just
trying to live lightly upon the
earth, but in some cases replicating ancient Hawaiian practices.
Yamashita’s work has

er mainstream stations around
Hawaii, but this is his first on
`Oiwi.
“[`Oiwi TV] is a really cool
venue for that video especially,
showing all indigenous [programming],” Yamashita said.
“The sections with Walter Ritte
and Uncle Pilipo make that
connection between the modern and ancient.”
Lee said he had heard of
Yamashita’s work, and approached him after seeing
some of his video previews on
YouTube.
“`Oiwi TV wants to support independent producers
like [Yamashita], ones that are
out in the many pockets around
the island where lots of good,
and unfortunately bad, things
are happening,” Lee said. “We
want to create a network of
producers around the state to
contribute to the conversation
and venue that we have built.”
Yamashita’s documentary
will be highlighted on `Oiwi
TV starting Sept. 6 through the
19th. It can be viewed on digital cable channel 326 or on their
website www.oiwi.tv.
Yamashita’s

t around
1 a.m.
on Aug.
27, three of Hawaii’s deep-sea
voyaging
canoes Hokule`a,
Mau Piailug
Makali`i, and
Hokualaka`i set
sail from Kawaihae Harbor
bound for Oahu. The journey
served as training for a future
world-wide voyage; but more
so, it honored the continuing
legacy of Master Navigator,
Mau Piailug. Considered by
many to be the father of the
re-emergence of traditional
Polynesian navigation, Piailug
passed away on July 12.
As the three canoes sailed
away into the darkness, there was
much excitement in the air. For
some of the crew it was their first
time crossing the `Alenuihaha,
but for both new and veteran sailors, it was a time filled with anticipation and excitement.
The `Alenuihaha is noted
for its fierce winds and steep
waves, and on this day the
early departure allowed the
canoes to cross the channel
before the heat of day contributed to the acceleration of the
tradewinds. Under the light of
a waning full moon the three
deep sea canoes made their
way safely to Maui.
The canoes arrived at Wahikuli Beach Park in Lahaina
just after dark on Friday evening. The next morning the canoes were featured in an event
for the Hawaiian Homes community of Leiali`i. “Stand up
for your health,” hosted by Archie Kalepa, brought attention
to improving the health and
well-being of the community.
Throughout the morning people of all ages paddled, swam,
and SUP’d their way to visit
the anchored voyaging canoes.
Just after noon the canoes
departed Lahaina for Kaunakakai, Molokai. The captains
of the three wa`a kaulua were
Snake Ah Hee (Hokule`a),
Chad
Kalepa
Baybayan
(Hokualaka`i), and Chad Paishonn (Makali`i).
It was Papa Mau’s dream
that oceanic wayfinding be
passed down to his students,
and expanded to all Oceanic
peoples. In Hawaii, before
Mau’s arrival in 1976, wayfinding had not been actively
practiced in over 600 years. It
is important to note that Mau
saw us as not as Polynesians
and Micronesians, but as one
Oceanic family.
The canoes arrived just
after sunset in Kaunakakai
Harbor on Molokai where they
were greeted by the local community. Among them, two of
Hokule`a’s veteran crew, Auntie Penny Rawlins and Uncle
Mel Paoa, had organized an
expansive feast for all three
crews. Haumana from the Hawaiian immersion school led
by their Kumu, Mahinahou
Ross, welcomed each canoe
with an oli. After the meal,
most people rushed off to bed
the three voyaging canoes had
sailed together. That was also
the last time that Papa Mau
Piailug got onboard a Hawaiian canoe. In 2004, the three canoes gathered at Kaho`olawe
and set sail for Kawaihae for
the launching of the newest canoe, Hokualaka`i. Mau
watched with great happiness
and pride knowing that his
legacy would survive.
The final leg of the journey
took the three canoes across the
Pailolo and Kaiwi channels.
For Nahele Travaso, a student
at University of Hawaii-Hilo,
the journey was truly a magical experience. Not only had
she never sailed inter-island,
she had never stepped foot on
the islands of Maui or Molokai.
How fitting it was that her first
visit to these islands would be
in the same fashion as her ancestors.
Before reaching Oahu,
the three canoes were greeted
by a film crew from National
Geographic who were circling
the three wa`a from a helicopter. The first canoe to arrive, Hokualaka`i, sailed along
Waikiki where Uncle Nainoa
Thompson personally escorted her
for a short while
from his one man
canoe.
This was an
amazing journey
for all three canoes. It confirms
Papa Mau’s dream

Round IV Winners
By Molokai Dispatch staff
O
ur winning photo this month reminds us, without words, of the unconditional love of `ohana that resonates deep within the people of Molokai. During an auntie’s embrace, great joy flows from her niece like a
bountiful spring, or puna. Perhaps this is why our elders are called ku-puna.
Kekoa Cummings, congratulations – you’ve earned yourself a $50 gift certificate to the Kualapu`u Cookhouse. Now that everyone knows, expect your
friends to start dropping hints about prime rib night.
So ends another great round of photos. From landscapes to portraits,
Molokai has been well-represented by our community of talented photographers. Mahalo to all the participants, and congratulations to all the winners
– you told a story every time you submitted a photo. The Molokai Dispatch is
proud to have such an active community of contributors.

Free Will Astrology
By Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19): My friend Alana suffered
from a mysterious ailment for months. Symptoms included
vertigo, stomach pains, and numbness in her legs. After
being treated unsuccessfully by six health care practitioners, both mainstream and alternative, she went to see Dr.
Ling, a Chinese herbalist recommended by a friend. Ling
was a dour woman who made no eye contact. Her office
was dingy, cramped, and windowless. Alana felt a bit depressed by the visit. Yet when she took Dr. Ling’s herbs, she
felt better. In three weeks she was cured. The moral of the
story, Aries: The restorative agent you need may not come
in the most inviting form.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A spider spun gorgeous cobwebs on my car’s back window. Anchored on the window
wiper, they’re artfully woven spiral tunnels decorated with
white flower petals sent by the wind. This sculpture is so
beguiling that it caught the attention of a stranger who
was walking through a parking lot as I was getting in my
car, and we struck up a conversation that led to him inviting me to a party where I had maximum fun. So kudos to
me for not mindlessly sweeping away the cobwebs. My
decision to honor the spider’s small masterpiece proved
fortuitous. I encourage you to learn from my example in
the coming week. Be alert for nature’s subtle gifts.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The band Tinariwen is from
the Sahara Desert. Its members describe themselves as
“soul rebels.” Their influences include traditional West African music, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, and the Berber music
of northern Algeria. I listen to them whenever I’m feeling
wan and spiritually tired. Their infectious melodies and
serpentine rhythms have a medicinal effect; they toughen
me up, fueling the rowdy love I need to keep fighting for
truth and justice. They’re your featured artist of the week,
Gemini. As you face down the dangers of apathy, you could
use the shot of courage and audacity they might provide.

ToughSpirit2.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Afghanistan is a wasteland
of desert and rocks, right? Well, no, actually. It harbors
huge deposits of minerals that are critical to the industrialized world. There’s a complication, though. To succeed,
the arduous business of mining such minerals needs lots
of water and electricity as well as political stability and a
good infrastructure -- all of which are in short supply in Afghanistan. In offering this scenario for your consideration,
Cancerian, I’m suggesting that you make a comparable reevaluation of a certain situation in your own life. According to my reading of the omens, someone or something
you’ve considered barren may in fact harbor resources that
are useful to you. Here’s the rub: Are you in position to get
access to them? If not, what would it take to do so?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): For years I’ve been in love with
a woman who is also in love with me. Hooray! But when
I was younger, I sometimes got embroiled in obsessive
adorations for unavailable women. One didn’t want me,
another was already in a committed relationship, still another lived 6,000 miles away, and a fourth was a lesbian.
The pain of those impossible attractions eventually prodded me to retrain myself so as to not keep repeating the
pattern. Can I convince you to learn from my hardship? According to my reading of the omens, the next few months
should be a time when you put a strong emphasis on allies
who are available, not on the other kind.
Now with Pidgin!
English:
Repatriate. To bring or send back (a person or asset) to his or her native
country.
Example: Many in Hawaii actively petition to repatriate
Native Hawaiian bones and artifcats from museums worldwide.
Hawaiian:
Kiwi: ka iwi ma luna o kekahi holoholona.
English: horn of an animal, antler
Example: I kekahi manawa, ua holoholo au ma hope o ko`u
hale, ua `ike au I kekahi kiwi nui o ke kia I waiho `ia e kekahi.
Translation: One day as I was cruising behind my
house, I saw deer antlers that were left by someone.
By Kolealono Yasso
Pidgin:
Nogrumble: What you say to somebody grumbling about something they
could have prevented.
EXAMPLE: Hah, you nevah wen vote? Ah, nogrumble den.
TRANSLATION: Excuse me, you didn’t vote? Well then, I don’t think it is
something you should be complaining about.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’ve been playing with a fun
hypothesis lately: that absolutely everyone in the world
has the power to heal someone else. At one end of the
spectrum are the doctors and shamans and therapists who
can summon the means to cure lots of people. At the other
end are individuals with the power to improve the health
or smooth out the distortions in just one other person.
Wherever you fit in this range, Virgo, I’m happy to tell you
that your healing mojo is now at a peak. Please invoke it in
all of its intensity and point it in the direction of whomever
can benefit.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As I studied the astrological
configurations for you, I realized I had to leave the bubble
of my office. The omens suggested that you would benefit
from escaping your usual frames of reference, and I felt I
had to do the same if I wanted to get the best oracle. So I
hiked out to my favorite boulder, where the creek forks into
two streams. I sat down and addressed the spirits: What’s
the advice Libras need most? Soon, a dragonfly landed
on my shoulder. For the next ten minutes I asked it questions about how you should proceed. Here’s the gist of its
telepathic message: “I gently shatter illusions. My power is
graceful and lilting. I sew up the wounds of snakes. Nothing eludes my uninhibited vision. I don’t bite. I am a professional and primeval transformer.”
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Of all the noses of all the
famous actresses in the world, my favorite is Cate Blanchett’s. It’s strong and forceful, yet buoyant and irregular. It’s
wider and fleshier than most noses that are considered
“feminine,” but sensual and seductive. Best of all, it has so
many different aspects, and looks so varied from a variety
of angles, that it seems to shift its shape as you watch it. It’s
gorgeous! Please take a cue from me as you evaluate the
unacknowledged beauty in your own sphere, Scorpio. It’s
crucial that you rebel against our culture’s absurdly generic
standards.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The best guide in life
is strength,” said Swami Vivekananda. “Discard everything
that weakens you, have nothing to do with it.” In accordance with the astrological omens, Sagittarius, I’m making
that your rallying cry. You not only have the right to align
yourself with only the most potent, life-giving sources; you
have an urgent need to do so. So be audaciously discerning as you evaluate each person and situation that comes
before you. Ask, “Will this feed my vitality or will it not?”
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What happens in your
bedroom, Capricorn? What stories swirl around in your
mind while you’re there? What secrets simmer and ferment? What feelings do you gravitate toward? Judging
from the astrological omens, I’d say it’s time to expand
your notion of what goes on in that sanctuary. How about
embarking on a new playtime activity or introducing a
pleasurable commotion you’ve never tried? At the very
least, unleash your imagination while relaxing there. Give
yourself permission to have bigger fantasies. Tell yourself
more epic stories, develop a more active relationship with
your secrets, and welcome unfamiliar feelings.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Last May, riots in Santa
Cruz, California trashed 18 buildings in the downtown area.
But for one store owner, the mayhem brought unexpected
blessings. She was able to tap into a city fund that not only
paid for her broken front window, but also allowed her to
make several improvements, like adding fresh paint, a new
awning, and better lighting. “I never would have thought
when I got that call at 1 in the morning that this was going to turn into such a wonderful thing for us,” Diane Towns
told the Santa Cruz Sentinel. I predict a similar progression
for you, Aquarius. An event that seemed like bad luck at the
time will ultimately lead to good luck.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): French painter Paul Cezanne
(1839-1906) declared early in his career that he wanted to
“conquer Paris with an apple.” He meant that he wanted to
become a major force in the art world by revolutionizing
the way that still-life paintings were done. He must have
been successful, because two prominent modern painters,
Picasso and Matisse, referred to Cezanne as “the father of
us all.” Your assignment in the coming months, Pisces, is to
make a splash in your own chosen field with an innovation
that’s as simple and basic as Cezanne’s reconfigured apple.

as Pome, these are usually planted in
rows of eight to 12 feet with 10-15 feet
between rows. The cultivars include:
•Tall Brazilian, also called Hawaiian
Apple, can easily reach 20 feet in
height and is susceptible to wind.
Bunches can weigh 15-25 lbs.
•Dwarf Brazilian is a mutation of a
tall Brazilian discovered in Santa
Catarina, Brazil. Called Dwarf Apple or ‘Santa Catarina Prata’, this
cultivar can reach fifteen feet at the
top of the bunch, and bunches can
range from 30-75 lbs. Fruits have a
robust taste with a tang, and good
shelf life. This is the most-wind tolerant of all cultivars in Hawaii.
In closing, there’s no such thing
as a banana tree. Banana is considered
a large herb with its trunk composed
of compressed leaves. Each leaf starts
from the base of the plant, and is one
continuous piece. Plant now and you’ll
have a bunch in less than a year.
Register Branded
Livestock
Department of Agriculture News Release
O
wners of livestock brands in
Hawaii are required to reregister their brands with the
Hawaii Department of Agriculture
(HDOA) between Sept. 1 and Dec.
31, 2010. Hawaii law requires owners of livestock in the state to register their brand to secure its validity
and individuality. While it is not
mandatory to use brands in Hawaii,
it is mandatory for owners using
brands to register them.
Typically, cattle are branded
prior to one year of age so owners
have a permanent and unique identification on their animals that traces them back to their ownership.
HDOA’s Livestock Disease Control
Branch reviews brand applications
and approves brands after deter-
Weekly Puzzle Answers
mining that the brand is not the
same or similar to others that are
registered. Branding continues to
be the most practical and approved
means by which cattle ownership is
determined.
In Hawaii, there are about 1,100
cattle operations ranging from
herds of about 16,000 cows to those
with just a few head. For the period
of 2005 through 2010, there were 682
brands registered in Hawaii. Brand
owners are required to re-register
their brands every five years.
For more information and applications, brand owners should contact
HDOA’s Livestock Disease Control

Molokai Perfect Model
for the World
W
ith the Blue Planet Foundation’s gift to Molokai of 36,000
CFL light bulbs which reduces our use of electricity – big time,
as well as pollution, emissions, and
fuel use – the idea of making Molokai
a clean energy model for the world to
copy has already started. The CFL bulbs
are the perfect starting point for making
Molokai less dependent on imported
fuel. Everyone that received the bulbs
should see a large reduction in their
electric bills, as well as less generated
heat in their houses. Beyond unplugging electronics when not in use, and
turning off lights when not needed, the
next step to saving our island would be
installing solar panels for hot water and
electricity, plus using wind turbines
(not windmills) to generate electricity. With the skills several residents are
good at – building boats, surf boards –
wind turbines can be built right here on
Molokai. Small home style electric turbines that would work on Molokai and
would create electricity and jobs. Several small wind turbines powering Molokai would make our island more of a
model of energy independence and reduce our need for imported fuel. Think
about building electric turbines here
and creating industry – jobs and being
proud of what we are doing to help
our own island and future generations.
Thanks to the Blue Planet Foundation,
Molokai Dispatch, and all the others that
made this wonderful thing happen.
Aloha, let’s think about solutions
for Molokai.

S
teven Ammasi was a very young
cheeky fellow when he was born
on Molokai on the 16th of February, 1958. In the later stages of his adolescence he was fantasizing about his
goals and visions on what he wanted
to do later in his life when he finally
reached the perfection of his adulthood.
He started setting his sights on the metropolis of Fairbanks and while there
met an irresistibly beautiful woman
named Wendy, whom he could not wait
to unite with her once again, reunited
together forever. He resided in the city
of Fairbanks for years and years, before
retiring from his professional duties
in Fairbanks as a highly solid laborer,
while his brother Solomon fulfilled
his career in the noblest manner as the
highly decorated post master general
for one of the most prestigious post offices in the state.
After his retirement from years of
duty in the other state, Steven Ammasi
began making periodic visits to his precious homeland of Molokai. In Molokai
central he began working so hard to fulfill one of his most sacred goals: being
a super hero and a crime fighter. These
magnificently fulfilled goals are the
honorable hallmark of what patriotically describes Steven Ammasi’s character
as a true warrior.
While Ammasi made the almost
fatal mistake of eating a religiously fanatical vegan diet which has horribly
caused the loss of both his legs and had
bound him to a wheelchair for the entirety of his life. For since that day he
has vowed to himself that never again
will I commit to such horrible consumptions never again and from this day forward I will eat a normal diet of deer
meat, normal food, and pigs feet, my favorite food. Because of this, I will never
be a vegan again! Before his passing he
made friends with two very important
people on Molokai, Steven Kalilikane
and myself, Michael ‘Detective,’ and
near his passing he was about to complete a criminal international felony police investigation.
Blessed are the victorious for victory is the basis of right cursed are the
vanquished, for they shall be vassals
forever.

Prayer Banner, Not Message,Taken
I
want to thank Scarlet Ritte and her
ohana publicly for her colorful, bold
and whimsical public art work in
Kaunakakai. She also created an amazing yellow banner of flowers and dragonflies saying “We’re praying for you.”
It was hung on the fence of Kaunakakai
Baptist Church facing our elementary
school to welcome students, teachers,
staff and administration back to a new
school year. Last week someone took
it. But no one can take the truth of the
words away. Yes, we are still praying
for Kaunakakai Elementary and for all
our island schools. We are still praying for you, including whoever took the
banner. Maybe they needed a pretty
blanket. Prayer changes things. God
hears the heartfelt prayers of His people. He loves you. Our island is known
for the powerful prayers that turn the
enemy away “MOLOKA`I PULE O`O.”
Please join us in praying for our island
that we will truly love God and one another, with or without a banner.
Mahalo,
Lynette Schaefer
Political Unity
I
have been on the political front lines
for many years, usually fighting for
things that cannot speak for themselves, such as the land, water, ocean,
Haloa the taro, and reefs.
Some of these battles have been
successful because we were able to
unite people to action.
I am writing this letter to ask for
political unity and your support and
kokua in the Maui County mayoral
race. We have decided to support Chris
Hart for Mayor of Maui County. He is
by far the best candidate in the large
field running for Maui County Mayor.
We have had many long discussions with Mr. Hart about the future of
Molokai on both the economic level and
the quality of life
l e v e l .
He
is
the man.
