outh showcased months of hard
work at last weekend's annual
4-H Expo, featuring showmanship and market competitions for hogs,
steer and goats, small animal exhibits
and a live auction.
4-H stands for “head, heart, hands
and health” and is a national educational
organization. On Molokai, students ages
five through high school seniors are involved in a livestock program that challenges them to learn responsibility through
raising, showing and judging livestock, according to organizers.
Exhibitors in the hog showmanship
competition guided their pigs in the ring so
the judge could watch for good control over
the animal, general health and ask students
questions about their hogs. For three months
prior to the event, competitors carefully
raised and cared for their animals, said emcee and rancher Jimmy Duvauchelle.
"Here is their hard work... set before
you as they try to guide their animals so the
judge can judge their ability to work with
them," he told the crowd gathered in the tent
at Kaunakakai Ball Field on Saturday.
As 4-Hers endeavored to usher the
pigs through the ring, along with at least
half a dozen other headstrong hogs, Duvauchelle reminded onlookers that the
setting doesn't "do them justice." The pigs
"become more resentful in working with
the exhibitor," he said.
"I'm looking for them to show control
where I can see [the hog] at all times... by
keeping the animals in front of me," said
judge Mac Noggle of Colorado.
In the junior class of hog showmanship,
Saije Aiana was named grand champion.
"You have to take care of your animal
well... and keep practicing with it," she said.
In the senior class of steer showmanship, youth guided their steer around the
ring, demonstrating their ability to work
with an animal weighing many times
their size.
THIS WEEK’S
Noggle said in this event, he looked for
"alertness and getting their steers set up." He
also asked competitors questions such as,
"what do you like about your animal and
what would you change?" Having a picture
of the ideal steer can help them breed better
animals in the future, he said.
Naiau Arce won the division.
"How did you set up your steer so
well?" Duvauchelle asked him.
"Years of working with steer and watching videos," said Arce.
Seven-year-old Lindley and her goat
Harpy won both the goat showmanship and
market goat competitions.
"I brushed him, I feed him a lot, I pet
him and walk him around," she said of the
secret to her success.
Non-competing participants at the twoday 4-H Expo engaged in learning activities,
raffles and auction prizes and enjoyed live
entertainment. Both days featured games,
food booths and various crafts for the young
and old.

Molokai’s
historic
Kapuaiwa Coconut Grove
suffering from disease and
human pollution, the Department of
Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) has
reached out to the State Historical
Preservation Division (SHPD) to ask
for guidance in fencing off the property.
Residents have been voicing their
concerns at recent community meetings, explaining that they used to be
able to see straight through the grove
to the ocean. Now overgrowth and
trash have obscured the view, and
they want to see the grove be protected from human intrusion.
“For me I feel our resources are
there for everybody,” said resident
Kauila Reyes at a May 21 community
meeting. “But they don’t take care of
it.”
While the DHHL is responsible
for the grove, SHPD must determine
where fencing can be placed on the
historical property, said DHHL Molokai Acting Director Supervisor Halealoha Ayau.
The DHHL, which only has one
maintenance worker on staff, is also
seeking out a private company to clear
the brush, fallen leaves and coconuts
from the grove. While the grove is also
suffering from a fungal disease and
multiple pests discovered in December 2014, Ayau said they first want to
clean the grove and keep out people
who could potentially be injured from
weakening, falling trees.
“[Cleaning it up] is only one
level,” he said. “What are we gonna
do about the trees? They’re diseased,
they’re old, and they’re coming down.
Do we bring them down to keep it
safe? … We’re not there yet. The only
part of that plan I know we’re at is we
want to fence it off.”
Last Friday, SHPD administrator Dr. Alan Downer said through
the DLNR communications office
that “SHPD will be responding to Mr.
Ayau, in his capacity as DHHL staff, by
early next week at the latest,” though
he did not comment on how long the
guidance and authorization process
would take.
Ayau said they’re willing to let
community groups volunteer to with
grove maintenance in the future, provided they sign proper permits. Residents said they hope the community
will work together to respond to the
grove’s problems.
“It’s an eyesore waiting to be
cleaned,” said resident Pearl Souza.
“… It’s part of our lineage to take care
of it. In the olden days if said we need
to do this, people showed up and did
it.”
These actions would precede efforts that are being made to address
several pests that are attacking the coconut trees and causing some to die. In
the June 3 issue, the Dispatch reported
the coconut mite, coconut scale, wee-

“First off, it’s the customer service,” says Madonna, “(reservationists) Bryson
and Quinten have helped me a lot.” Madonna also appreciates Makani Kai’s
dependability, “The flights are always pretty much on time. And without the TSA,
you have more time to yourself. Waiting for your flight is relaxing, not pressured and
stressful.” Madonna says her family is already booking flights in August for a Maui
wedding, “The rates are really good and always the same.”

Eyes on the Reef
By Cheryl Corbiell
On June 6, Darla White with DLNR’s Division of Aquatic Resources
(DAR) provided the first “Eyes of the
Reef” (EOR) skills training on Molokai at
Kulana `Oiwi to an enthusiastic crowd of
Molokai residents.
The EOR training has been designed to help ocean users such as community members, reef users, fishers, and
commercial operators the skills to provide reliable monitoring and reporting
on coral bleaching; coral and fish diseases; Crown-of-thorns Sea stars outbreaks,
marine alien invasive species, and native
species blooms. The participants learned
how to detect the early signs of coral in
distress.
“Threats to the world’s reefs have
increased by over 30 percent, and today,
75 percent of the coral reefs in the world
are threatened,” said White. “Pollution,
climate change, poor land practices, and
increasing recreational and extractive activities create environmental conditions
on coral reefs that foster coral disease
and coral bleaching, support the spread
of invasive species, and threaten reef
health.”
Scientists and reef managers are
only able to monitor a small fraction of
Hawaii’s 410,000 acres of widespread
reef systems, so more trained eyes are
needed to catch these events early on.
Without initial sightings by the local
“eyes” on our reefs, such occurrences
may go unnoticed until it is too late. For
example, in 2013, a large bleaching event
occurred on Molokai’s south shore due
to a slight increase in water temperature.
The information collected through
the EOR program is combined in a single
data management and reporting system. The up-to-date information ocean
users provide helps reef managers respond to harmful changes to the reef resources. Communities are now engaged
as first responders to reef health status
and trends. The training session can be
viewed on Akaku at archive.org/details/EyesOnTheReef6615.
March of the Molokai
Mangrove
Nene O Molokai News Release
Introduced alien mangrove threatens the long-term sustainability of
south shore coastal resources. During
2014 and 2015, Sarah Jenkins and Lily
Jenkins conducted a study on the socioeconomic and ecological impacts of
introduced Red Mangrove (Rhizophora
mangle) on Molokai. The intent was to
determine if the mangrove has the potential to reach the fringing reef, and if
so, what are the impending socioeconomic and ecological impacts.
Geographic Information System
(GIS) techniques were used to interpret
aerial imagery, historic maps, and coastal surveys to map seaward migration,
analyze ecological effects, and predict
the future impact on Molokai’s south
2
shore through benthic habitat modeling. Over 12 million Scanning Hydrographic Operational Airborne Survey
(SHOALS) data were converted into
189,000 polygons to create current and
projected maps with an accuracy rate
of 98 percent and to 6 inch depth. This
ground-breaking study has caught the
attention of NOAA, USGS, EPA, NASA,
the Dept. of Hawaiian Homelands, the
state’s Historic Preservation Division,
and other agencies.
Come find out to what extent this
invasive species will affect future generations of Molokai residents. Public
presentations followed by Q&A at OHA
conference room on June 26 from 8:30
to 10 a.m., 12:30 to 2 p.m., and 5:30 to

A
re you a Molokai resident who
enjoys writing, has a passion for
your community and wants to
become a part of The Molokai Dispatch
team? We’d love to have you join us.
For the last decade, The Molokai
Dispatch has fostered a thriving internship program that allows young
journalists from around the country
the opportunity to bring their talent to
Molokai, work hands-on in a small island community, and in turn, provide
the island with high quality reporting.
As we prepare to celebrate our 30th
anniversary, The Molokai Dispatch is
also preparing to shift our model from
interns to home-grown community reporters. We are grateful to the dozens
of young people who have served the
island through journalism, however
we have decided to end the program,
and instead, we would like to foster
a team of responsible journalists right
here on Molokai. We hope this decision will not only help support Molokai’s local economy but afford additional opportunities for residents to
develop writing skills and build their
resume to keep talent on the island.
As we look to the future, we
want to continue the community support that has sustained us for three
decades, and take it a step further.
Thanks to our regular community
contributors, we are able to print a
wide variety of information that is
important to residents of Molokai. In
addition, we’d like to develop a small
team of part-time community reporters who will take on assignments
and work closely with Dispatch staff
to provide the community with the
same, high quality coverage readers
have come to expect.
These
community
reporters
should be passionate about Molokai,
yet able to put aside their own opinions to report with integrity and objectivity. They should be committed
to The Molokai Dispatch’s mission to
serve the community, foster positive
dialogue and empower residents to
become more knowledgeable and active about what matters most to them.
This
part-time
opportunity
would provide a small stipend and
a flexible schedule but also require
dedication and commitment. An interest in writing is a must, and skill can
be developed. The topics you write
about may be directed by your interest and expertise but assigned by the
editor. Please email Catherine Cluett
at [email protected] to
express your interest or learn more.
Mahalo and we look forward to this
new phase of The Molokai Dispatch’s
community commitment.

MMS Transition Day
By Laura Peterson
All of the sixth graders on the island
converged in the Molokai Middle School
(MMS) cafeteria for a fun day of activities created and led by the MMS student government on May 28. It was the
second and last transition day for sixth
graders, designed to introduce the students from different elementary schools
to each other and to middle school life.
The student government of MMS
showed true leadership skills and
planned a day of fun activities, a tour
of the school, and introductions to people such as Principal Dawn Mains and
Aunty Tikka, the cafeteria manager, who
provided everyone with ono cinnamon
rolls! Great job MMS leaders and good
luck new seventh graders, the class of

vil, white flies and a possible fungus
are to blame for the trees’ deteriorating
health.
Having learned the impact that
coconut mites can have on trees,
Kalama`ula Homestead Association
President Gayla Haliniak-Lloyd told
concerned residents the mites eat away
at young coconuts, making the leaves
turn yellow and start falling away.
Darcy Oishi, entomologist at the
Hawaii Dept. of Agriculture (DOA),
told the Dispatch earlier this month that
while the mite does create an environment that fosters the growth of other
harmful species, “it won’t necessarily
kill the tree.” What is more concerning,
however, is phytophthora, a fungal disease that creates rot within the trees and
will eventually kill them. The length of
time it takes for the fungus to kill a tree
depends on multiple factors, including
the water and nutrients the tree is receiving as well as the presence of pests,
according to Oishi.
While the DOA doesn’t have staff
on Molokai, Oishi said he does “intend
to see staff going to Molokai more often” to monitor the grove.
While experts continue to investigate the pest problem and come up
with a plan to address the issue, Ayau
said DHHL plans to move forward with
fencing the area and begin cleanup of
the grove as a first step.

Davis, Sue Forbes-Kikukawa, Erik Svetin, Kim Link.
By Erik Svetin, MHS Student and
Mathlete
A year ago, I started a new annual
math competition for Molokai elementary school students. I wanted to share
my love and enthusiasm of mathematics
with other younger students on island.
My goal was to encourage other students
to pursue an interest in math and to help
them gain confidence with the skills
needed to be successful mathematicians
at Molokai High School and Molokai
Middle School.
I just completed organizing and
proctoring the entire competition on
May 27. More than 90 students in the
fifth and sixth grades from Kaunakakai, Kilohana, Kualapu`u and Maunaloa
schools participated in Phase I of the
competition. Phase II was a second exam
which was administered to the top three
“mathletes” at each elementary school.
Congratulations to Bailey BustoBeaudet from Kilohana School for placing first overall on Molokai out of over
90 students. Her principal is Richard Stevens. Bailey’s teacher is Lisa Palmer.
Second place overall for Molokai
went to Aaliyah Cariaga from Kualapu`u
School. Her principal is Lydia Trinidad.
Her teachers are Amanda Adams and
Kimberly Link. The math resource teacher is Sue Forbes-Kikukawa.
Third place overall for the island
went to Owen Svetin from Kaunakakai
Elementary School. His principal is Janice Espiritu. His teacher is Andrea Yuen.
I would like to thank Jonathan
Smith, my AP calculus teacher at Molo-
kai High School, for his guidance of this
community competition for the past two
years. Thank you to Kamoi Snack-n-Go,
Inc. for ice cream gift certificates for every participant. Finally, thank you to all
of the principals, teachers, and families
for supporting these “mathletes” and for
encouraging the importance of everyday
math.

Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku
Foundation News Release
A collection of Hawaii's most talented scholar athletes gathered today
at Outrigger Canoe Club to accept
scholarship funds from the Outrigger
Duke Kahanamoku Foundation. The
nonprofit awarded a total of $178,250
to 29 grantees and 44 scholarships to
student athletes from 34 different high
schools across six Hawaiian Islands.
Each year, the Foundation awards
a $10,000 Ambassador of Aloha Scholarship to one individual that exemplifies outstanding skill and leadership
in the classroom, in their chosen sport
and in the community.
Sarah `Alohilani Jenkins was
named the 2015 Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Ambassador of Aloha. With
a GPA exceeding 4.0, Sarah graduated from Molokai High School's class
of 2015 and will be attending Duke
University this fall. As valedictorian,
Sarah was ranked number one in her
graduating class and is highly regarded on campus for her academic
achievements, her leadership abilities
and her hundreds of volunteer hours
dedicated to her community. Among
her most noted accomplishments is
the extensive study she conducted on
the adverse effects of Red Mangrove
on Molokai's shorelines and reefs.
Other students that received
$5,000 scholarships include: Kyla Fox
from Kaiser High School, Tasha Nohea Kahaulelio from Kahuku High
School, Malia Mizuno from Punahou
School, Brandon Naihe from Hana
High School and Rebecca Walton from
Mid-Pac Institute.
Since its inception in 1986, the
Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation has gifted more than $2.3 million dollars to scholar athletes and
nonprofit organizations in Hawaii
that embody what Duke believed in
and stood for: education, athleticism,
and the aloha spirit.
The Foundation is best known
for its public events, such as Duke's
OceanFest and the Waterman Hall of
Fame, but its core mission is to provide financial assistance for the college education of Hawaii's students
and helping local athletes compete.
Both team and individual grants are
given for "Duke Sports," including:
canoeing, swimming, surfing, kayaking, water polo and volleyball.
Duke Kahanamoku passed away
in 1968, but his impact in the islands
lives on. Kama`aina and visitors alike
can list his hallmarks: an Olympic athlete, a Hollywood star with a humble
attitude, sheriff of Honolulu, the father of modern surfing, the original
Ambassador of Aloha.

THE MOLOKAI DISPATCH • JUN 24, 2015 •
Kalaupapa Nonprofit Earns Awards
Ka `Ohana O Kalaupapa News
Release
Ka `Ohana O Kalaupapa was presented with two Preservation Awards by
the Historic Hawaii Foundation at their
annual awards banquet in Honolulu last
month.
One of the projects cited was the
exhibit, “A Reflection of Kalaupapa:
Past, Present and Future” that features
100 photographs and quotes from the
people of Kalaupapa and their families.
The exhibit is currently on display at the
Molokai Museum and Cultural Center
in Kalae.
The `Ohana was also recognized for
“The Restoration of Family Ties” program that has helped hundreds of fami-
lies obtain more information about their
Kalaupapa ancestors who were sent
there because of government policies regarding leprosy or who were kama`aina
prior to the establishment of the settlement in 1866.
“We are so proud of this photo exhibit and our program to help the descendants learn about their family who
was here,” said `Ohana President Clarence “Boogie” Kahilhiwa. “It’s an honor
to have Historic Hawai`i Foundation
recognize the importance of the work of
Ka `Ohana O Kalaupapa in reaching out
to the families and all of Hawaii about
the history of Kalaupapa.”
The photo exhibit has been displayed on the six main islands of Hawaii, providing an opportunity for
residents, students and visitors to get a
deeper understanding of the people of
Kalaupapa and their families throughout the history of the settlement. From
1866 to 1969, an estimated 8,000 people
affected by leprosy (also called Hansen’s
disease) were taken from their families
and isolated at Kalaupapa.
Noelani Keliikipi, Executive Director of the Molokai Museum and Cultural
Center, said the exhibit has been one of
the most popular events it has ever hosted.
“Everyone is so impressed with
this exhibit,” she said. “Some people are
even coming back to see it again.”
Visitors to the exhibit are given a
free gallery guide that includes more
background about Kalaupapa, a time-
8
line of the history and photographs.
They are also invited to watch a fiveminute video, “The Pride of a Nation,”
produced by the `Ohana as an introduction to the people of Kalaupapa and the
exhibit.
The Molokai Museum and Cultural
Center is open Monday to Saturday, 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. Call 567-6436.
To reach more families through
“The Restoration of Family Ties” program, leaders of Ka `Ohana O Kalaupapa have gone out to communities on
all the six islands with presentations.
Families are also welcome to contact the
`Ohana at [email protected] to
obtain information available in the digital library assembled by the `Ohana.

Will
ARIES (March 21-April 19):):During my regular hikes
along my favorite trails, I've gotten to know the local boulders
quite intimately. It might sound daft, but I've come to love
them. I've even given some of them names. They symbolize
stability and constancy to me. When I gaze at them or sit on
them, I feel my own resolve grow stronger. They teach me
about how to be steadfast and unflappable in all kinds of
weather. I draw inspiration from the way they are so purely
themselves, forever true to their own nature. Now would be
an excellent time for you to hang out with your own stony
allies, Aries. You could use a boost in your ability to express
the qualities they embody.
you into the frontiers of collaborative amusement.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your symbolic object of the
week is a magic wand. I recommend that you visualize yourself as the star of a fairy tale in which you do indeed have a
wand at your disposal. See yourself wielding it to carry out a
series of fantastic tricks, like materializing a pile of gold coins
or giving yourself an extraordinary power to concentrate or
creating an enchanted drink that allows you to heal your
toughest wound. I think this playful imaginative exercise will
subtly enhance your ability to perform actual magic in the
real world.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The taskmaster planet Saturn
wove its way through the sign of Scorpio from October 2012
until the end of 2014. Now it has slipped back into your sign
for a last hurrah. Between now and mid-September. I urge
you to milk its rigorous help in every way you can imagine.
For example, cut away any last residues of trivial desires and
frivolous ambitions. Hone your focus and streamline your
self-discipline. Once and for all, withdraw your precious energy from activities that waste your time and resist your full
engagement. And if you're serious about capitalizing on Saturn's demanding gifts, try this ritual: Write either "I will never
squander my riches" or "I will make full use of my riches"
twenty times -- whichever motivates you most.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): "Everyone is a genius at least
once a year," wrote German aphorist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. "The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas
closer together." According to my astrological analysis, Taurus,
your once-a-year explosion of genius is imminent. It's even
possible you will experience a series of eruptions that continue for weeks. The latter scenario is most likely if you unleash
the dormant parts of your intelligence through activities like
these: having long, rambling conversations with big thinkers; SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The advanced lessons on
taking long, rambling walks all over creation; enjoying long, tap in the coming days are not for the squeamish, the timid,

By Father Pat Killilea, St. Francis
Church, Kalaupapa
It was 7:30 p.m. as we began celebration of Mass here at St. Francis
Church. Now, ordinarily at this hour, I
myself would be comfortably seated in
my reclining chair in the rectory. No, I
do not spend all day on my knees. At
this stage in my life my knees need a
rest and actually talk back to me at
times. On this evening, members of the
Newman Center from the University of
Hawaii had gathered for Mass to give
thanks to the Lord for a wonderful day
of exploration of this Flat Leaf, otherwise known as Kalaupapa. This is holy
ground.
I had happily escorted this pilgrim
group to Kalawao, the site of the original Hansen's disease settlement. But
on the previous day, I had chickened
out on this day as I was still recovering
from jet lag, having recently returned
from Ireland where my family had laid
to rest my older brother, Frank. He had
unexpectedly passed away from pancreatic cancer. State worker Harry Arce
and 91 years young John Arruda did
the honor of taking the group around
the peninsula in their trucks. Amongst
the notable places they visited was the
now dormant crater, Kauhako, always
an attraction even for older people like
myself. It is holy ground.
The Old Woman's cave is located
on the outer edge of the peninsula and
is at the ocean end of a lava tube. It is
an attraction especially for the able
bodied. Harry took some of the group
down into this ancient cave while John
stayed on top "to make sure that the
women in the group did not get hurt."
What a wily fox! I myself have not ventured down into the depths of this cave
since I might need to be hauled back up
by rope. This is holy ground.
Some visitors come to Kalaupapa
as part of a tour or out of curiosity. This
Newman group had come, however, on
pilgrimage to this sacred land of Saints
Damien and Marianne and at the same
time had enjoyed exploring the peninsula and witnessing its beauty. Now it
was time to worship and to give thanks
for this opportunity. So as darkness
began to envelope this quiet neighborhood, we raised our voices in prayer
and song: "Praise God from whom all
blessings flow. Praise Him all creatures
here below, Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts, Praise Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost." For this is holy ground.

Ka Hula Piko is Free
Biggest Catch of the Year
My name is Madonna Dizon. I am
haumana of Kukunaokala. Our beloved,
now deceased kumu, John Kaimikaua,
started the Molokai Ka Hula Piko 24 years
ago. His intent and objective was to give
back to and honor Molokai and its people. Our present kumu, Elsie Ryder and
po`o, Sulu Tafaoimalo, continue to carry
out Kumu John's directive along with the
Molokai Ka Hula Piko Committee comprised of Sonya Yuen, Rachelle Ing-Kupau,
Debbie Naeole and Ochie Bush.
All Molokai Ka Hula Piko events have
always been free of charge to all attendees.
The only paying event is for the services,
goods, and wares you wish to purchase at

My name is Shaquille Rapanot-McGuire, born and raised on the island of
Molokai. On Saturday June 13, I caught
my dream catch, an ulua weighing more
than 100 pounds. It was just another typical fishing trip with my brother Matthew
McGuire, which turned into a fishing trip
that I'll tell for the rest of my life.
During that day, I was busy working a Saturday morning. I felt lucky and
decided, why not go throw pole? I called
up the brother, decided on a spot and went.
We got to the spot to find someone there
already. Then we found a second spot that
we never fished before.
As the sun began to set, we set our
poles in the water and slid some bait. Then
I decided to catch a live bait boom table
boss about 3 pound straight slide. I figured
why, not try some live bait.
Sitting down cruising for about 45
minutes then out of nowhere, bang action.
Ring, ring, ring ratchet then nothing. Bang,
got to the pole, gave it a couple of yanks
and it felt stuck. Held it for a bit then bam

myself almost spooled on my 4/0 Penn

way to stop him or to turn his head. Almost spooled so I decided to hold the spool

later someone was bound to give up. Sure
sen by the Molokai committee.
The highest form of flattery is for others to emulate and try to replicate what is
done during Molokai Ka Hula Piko. My
gripe is with individuals who charge exorbitant amounts for their activities making
it seem as if their charge is to defray and
absorb the cost of the Molokai Ka Hula
Piko events. The Molokai Ka Hula Piko
committee who creates the event receives
absolutely zero remuneration from these
individuals. Their website touted their
event prices of $500 to $2400. By all means,
bring your people, share in the mana`o of
Ka Hula Piko, but be wary if your primary
and only aim is your profit margin. It gives
yourself, Molokai and our Ka Hula Piko a
black eye.

of Interior, for more than 100 years, was in
hiding, but now wants to intrude itself as
"keeper of the key" and came to Molokai
last year for the purpose of parading their
Proposed Rules.
The procedure of rules pertaining
to Hawaiian Home Lands exchanges
and procedures to amend the Hawaiian
Homes Commission Act is our latest calculated process of dismantling the Hawaiian
Homes Commission Act and the longtime
process of undermining native Hawaiians
self-determination.
This shameful insult to our kupuna, is
not only an infringement upon the interest
of the native Hawaiians, as the recognized
beneficiaries of the HHCA, but purposely
ignores the longtime record of mismanagement and corruption of the Hawaiian
Home Lands Trust.
The re-organization of the Hawaiian
Homes Act, by native Hawaiians, must not
be distracted by silly political scams like the
"Hawaiian Home Lands Recovery Act" endorsed by OHA.

the public library grounds from 10 a.m.
through 1 p.m., to launch into fun and
enriching summer activities.
Our AmeriCorps members have
grown hundreds of veggie plants to
give away to our community to start
home gardens. Stop by and select from
an assortment of herbs and green bean,
sweet pea, cherry tomato, and mustard
cabbage plants. We will be distributing
children’s gardening books that highlight where food comes from, the importance of eating fruits and vegetables,
and how to start gardens in your own
backyards. A nutritionist will be on
hand to share healthy eating practices.
Check out our First Book-Molokai
literacy booth. AmeriCorps members
will be giving out over 150 beautiful new books for children and young
adults to promote summer reading and
reading books with keiki. Join us for art
activities and face painting.
Stop by and pick up brochures,
posters, bookmarks and stickers and
learn more about AmeriCorps and how
you can serve our community and earn
an educational stipend for college or
trade school. We are currently enrolling
AmeriCorps Education Award members.
What is AmeriCorps? AmeriCorps
is a national service program that engages Americans of all ages and backgrounds in solving community problems. Since 1994, more than 820,000
individuals have taken the AmeriCorps
pledge, serving more than one billion
hours and improving the lives of countless Americans. On Molokai, through
Interval House Molokai, AmeriCorps
members can earn educational stipends
through volunteer service activities including parent education and training,
promoting community gardens, mentoring, and community education and
development.
Interval House Molokai is located
in the Kualapu`u Business Center, Suite

Mahalo ke Akua for the blessing and
the opportunity to have caught what every
fisherman’s dreams. It's definitely a dream
come true. But like they say, better to be
lucky than to be good. I couldn't have done
it alone, without my older brother Matt. He
help me capture this monster. First fish of
the year, why not let it be a big one? Also
thanks to my sister Mariah, for helping
send out my awesome experience.

Batting a Homerun
In late March
2015, I was personally
invited to a baseball
tryout which took
place on a high school
field in Mililani. As
a 12 year old Kamehameha-Kapalama
middle schooler, I have
been selected as a participant with the Team
California Bulldogs in the inaugural USA
Baseball 12U Futures Invitational at the
USA Baseball Training Complex in Cary,
North Carolina scheduled June 25 to 28.
I have played in 52 games -- Bronco
(Waikahala) and Little League (Honolulu)
these past four months, and have enjoyed
and learned to play all positions, but will
be a pitcher in the upcoming event. At this
time, I want say thank you to all of you
who have contributed to this opportunity:
my parents Ben and Nani; grandparents
Justinano and Nelie Venenciano, John and
Maggie Duvauchelle, and Thelma Shimaoka; uncles and aunts Pablo and Dr. Linda
Venenciano, George and Dawn Halemanu,
Vern and Kim Caspillo, Taylor and Abbie
Kawaa, Aunty Raquel Dudoit (Moana's
Florist) Coach Nathan Starkey (use equipment), and Coach Ken Nakayama and all
my past coaches and current coaches Daniel Ho, Kevin Pilor, and Gary Won.
Blessed Molokai son,

The Power of Kindness
Opinion by Rick Baptiste
Being “kind” benefits everyone
especially those that practice the aloha
spirit. There is a multiplication factor
in kindness that is powerful. Whether
you are the giver, the receiver, or the observer of kindness there are health benefits for all concerned. Scientific studies
(Uncle Google) says that “kindness” has
a positive effect on your immune system
with increased production of serotonin
in the brain. Serotonin is the natural
calming, mood regulating, anti-anxiety,
good vibes neurochemical. Google also
said that in a study of those that volunteered tended to experience fewer aches
and pains.
Another study found that acts of
kindness cause a domino effect causing
each person’s generosity to spread to
three to nine people, and then to others.
Another study reported, acts of Kindness increase happiness and self-esteem
and created an emotional warmth that
released a hormone called “oxytocin”
and a release of nitric oxide that protects
the heart by lowering blood pressure.
Acts of kindness can be our pathway to a blessed Molokai. Recently,
Mahi English and his son pulled up in
their truck with a trailer carrying a lawn
mower and weed trimmer. He asked
me if it was okay to bless me by cleaning
my yard with no charge. He said he was
driving around and felt Akua say inside
of him to bless me by cleaning my yard.
I said, “I receive the blessing and how
blessed I was." Immediately, I wanted
to share this in this article to encourage
all of you to bless Molokai.
Remember that when you bless
Molokai with acts of kindness, it encourages multiplication and all in our community will benefit. Mahi’s eldest son,
Ano`i, came up with the name “Blessed
the Yard Service” so you know who to
call if you want yard work done from
the heart.
Molokai, you are too blessed to be
stressed. If you desire to see the multiplication of blessings, send more stories
of acts of kindness to my email, [email protected], so we can all get
the health benefits. First by reading,
then by thinking on how you can be a
blessing today, a smile or some act of
kindness. Remember to bless Molokai
in some way today and if you da guy
getting blessed, I encourage you to pay
it forward to another in our community
and let’s get healthy together.
Widow/Widower Grief
Support Group
Hospice Hawaii Molokai News Release spiritual support in a safe, nonjudgmenWhen a person experiences the death
of a spouse their life is forever changed
and the journey can be an emotional roller
coaster. Knowledge about grief can help a
person understand the emotions and know
what is normal grief and mourning. The
group is for anyone in the Molokai community who has experienced the loss of
a spouse. The new closed support group
begins Wednesday July 1, from 3:30 to 5:30
p.m. and every Wednesday for 12 weeks at
the Hospice Hawaii Office (next to Dave’s
ice cream). A support group is not therapy;
it is support.
It introduces others who have had
similar experiences, thoughts and feelings. It provides emotional, physical, and
tal environment. It offers opportunities to
learn new ways of approaching problems
(people want you to “return to normal”).
It encourages members to not only receive
support and understanding, but also to
provide the same to others. It gives a forum
to search for meaning in life and death. And
it is confidential.
Others who have experienced the support group say that they got so much more
than what they expected by attending and
are so very thankful to have had the opportunity.
Please call Barbara Helm, Bereavement Coordinator, Hospice Hawaii Molokai, 553-4310, ext. 1972 to participate and
confirm a space in the group. The group is
limited to 10 people.
