ithout a day’s break in service, the espresso bar at
Coffees of Hawaii planation
in Kualapuù will continue to operate
under new management. Kalaupapa
Rare Adventures, formerly Molokai
Mule Ride, is taking on the task, under the leadership of Roy Horner and
his staff.
“We’re so excited we can’t contain ourselves,” said Marlene Sproat,
new food service manager.
“When I learned about the cutback in hours [several months ago]
I had concerns” because those who
take the mule rides like to come to
Coffees around 3 p.m. after the trek to
Kalaupapa, Horner said.
Now, new, extended hours will
allow the mule riders and others a
chance to grab a drink or snack later
in the afternoon. Coffees Espresso Bar
will be open Monday through Friday
from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturdays
from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Sundays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Na Ohana Ho
miling keiki collected some plump
pumpkins last weekend, when the
Heart of Aloha church hosted its
second year of pumpkin picking for the
community. Dozens of families picked
hundreds of pumpkins, took hayrides
around the property and enjoyed hot
food at the Kalae Highway pumpkin
patch owned by the church.
Chloe and Anjolie Manaba, 4,
shown right, found a matching pair of
white pumpkins to bring home to decorate. Patrons paid on a weigh-and-pay
scale – the money raised allows Heart
of Aloha to fund the event, which was
also supported by donations from Kumu
Farms, Coffees of Hawaii and Monsanto.
Community members may now
look forward to the annual Hallow-Him
event, hosted by local churches at the
Kaunakakai Baptist Church on Monday,
Oct. 31 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The night of
games, music, food and fun is a nonscary way for keiki to celebrate the holiday.

olding signs and waving to
passersby in Kaunakakai last
weekend, community members
shared an important message: There’s
no room for domestic violence on Molokai, and it’s everybody’s job to stop it.
Members from Molokai Alternatives to Violence, shelter Hale Hoò Malu
and the Molokai Youth Center used the
signs to usher in national Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which started
Oct. 1. This year’s theme is “Who Can?
You Can,” encouraging bystanders to
take action when they see domestic violence occurring.
“We’re here to raise awareness and
hopefully get the community included,”
said Sharon Samonte, who represented
the Hale and Molokai Alternatives. “It
is everybody’s business to stop domestic
violence.”
The day included reading Gov. Neil
Abercrombie’s proclamation against
This Week’s
domestic violence and stringing a tree
with purple lights, each representing a
life lost to domestic violence. Hawaii has
already lost two people to domestic violence this year.

brush fire burned 15 to 20 acres
in Kaluakoi on Molokai’s west
end last Friday night. Firefighters responded to a call around 6:30
p.m. to a roadside blaze about a mile
down from Maunaloa Highway. While
the fire did not cause damage to people or property, it came within a couple hundred feet of a home, according
to Fire Capt. Travis Tancayo.
All Molokai units responded, with
the assistance of two county tankers and
one bulldozer. The fire was contained by
about 9:30 p.m., according to Fire Capt.
Roger Agdeppa, though firefighters
stayed until early Saturday morning to
ensure blazes were fully extinguished.
Fire Inspector Rick Schonely said
the cause of the fire is undetermined but
suspicious, and an investigation is ongoing. Schonely reminded the public that if
apprehended, whoever may be responsible for this and other recent fires will be
held liable for any damage to property or
people.
“We continue to ask for help in reporting fires” and any suspicious activity, said Tancayo.
Fire officials have noted that a fire
burned in the same location on Kaluakoi
Road about three years ago, also threatening a home, Tancayo said.

Sprint Nextel to Improve
Service
By Maggie Cassidy
S
print Nextel Hawaii plans to replace three cell phone antennae
atop the Paddlers Inn building
with hopes of improving reception for
customers in the Kaunakakai area.
The company was re-awarded
two permits necessary for the construction last week after their previous
permits had expired. The new permits,
unanimously approved by the Molokai Planning Commission, are valid
through June 30, 2015. In addition to
new antennae, the permits allow upgrades to an equipment room on the
second floor of the building, formally
known as the Lucy Wilhelm Center.
Alii Wireless’s William Keoni
Fox, a consultant overseeing the project for Sprint Nextel Hawaii, said the
company still needs to obtain a building permit before beginning construction, which they expect to start around
March 2012.
The three antennae currently atop
Paddlers operate only at a frequency of
800 megahertz (MHz), which was used
by Nextel before it merged with Sprint
in 2006, Fox said. However, Sprint uses
a 1900 MHz frequency, and the new installations will be dual band antennae
– allowing them to service phones that
require frequencies of both 800 and
1900 MHz.
Sprint Nextel Hawaii already has
antennae capable of 800 and 1900 MHz
operating in Maunaloa.
Fox said the company has been in
contact with the Molokai Police Department about making sure the new
frequency does not interfere with police operations. The planned upgrades
will have no measurable environmental affects, he said, and should moderately improve customers’ cell phone
reception.
“[We’re trying] to use an existing
site to try to give better coverage to
Kaunakakai,” Fox said. “If we put up a
50-foot or 60-foot tower in the middle
of town, we’d probably have awesome
coverage,” but that would require
more permits and working with the
community, he said.
Cooking Catches On
Molokai Culinary Center News Release
I
t looks like the Molokai Culinary
Center (MCC) has hit a nerve.
Whether it's the high cost of dining
out, sentimental memories of family
recipes, or simply an inspiration ready
to be acted upon, the idea of cooking lessons is taking off. Don Hill, the
chef and principal instructor at MCC
reports that during July, August and
September, nearly 20 people attended
six lessons/workshops and practiced
a total of 21 different recipes. A few
brave souls have attended as many
as three sessions each. The most productive session was on Friday, Sept.
16, when four participants created 224
servings of pastry for the St. Damien
Country Fair in only three hours! The
most economical session was the tortilla class, coordinated by Brianne
Childs, where participants made 10
flour tortillas with 60 cents worth of
flour. Hill made a tortilla press before
the class and Childs said that she will
never buy another tortilla.
While the initial demand has been
for baking classes, Hill wants the community to know that he is prepared
to teach an array of lessons, including soups, salads, pupus, main dishes
and desserts. He has several software
programs he can demonstrate, and a
virtually unlimited source of recipes,
from the Internet and his chef friends
on Facebook.
Another suggestion which will be
put into action is a “couples night,”
where one or more couples book an
evening lesson ending with a three
course meal served on the lanai. Hill
envisions two versions. The first has
the couple working together; and the
second has one person arriving two
hours before the “dinner guest.” He
plans to run the first couples evening
before the end of September.
The MCC continues to look for a
commercial kitchen. There is no charge
for cooking lessons, but donations toward food costs or food contributions
such as venison, fish or produce is appreciated, and probably would result
in an invitation to dinner.
Hill and the MCC are convinced
that both good nutrition and pleasant
dining will contribute to not only a better and longer life, but a happy family.
They are prepared to work with any
other island agency which shares this
value. For further information contact
Hill at 553-5804, [email protected] or
catch him at Friendly Market, where
he gives quick cooking lessons in the
grocery aisles.
Coffees Cont. from page 1
Aloha will continue to share music on
the deck from 3 to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
Horner and his staff plan to continue the current menu, with new offerings coming in the future. Sproat
said some of the first additions will be
Mexican specialties and Hawaiian favorites. Horner added that they plan
to promote healthy eating, with fresh
local ingredients and natural, real fruit
smoothies.
“We want this place to be known
as a healthy place,” Horner said.
About a dozen members of the
Sproat and Horner families will staff
the Espresso Bar operation.
Horner plans to open up the space
to community workshops and events
in the future – and Sproat said she’s already received calls to book the venue
for Christmas parties.
Horner would like to thank Coffees
of Hawaii owners Mike Atherton and
Albert Boyce, as well as operations manager Maria Holmes for “having trust and
confidence in us” to manage the espresso
bar. Coffees will continue to operate their
Kualapuù plantation and airport espresso
bar location.

sources could stop it,” he said.
Following the fire, an oncoming
vehicle swerved into the fire department’s tanker truck on its way back to the
Kaunakakai station at about 1:30 a.m., according to Tancayo.
“Luckily our driver [firefighter Sean
Simon] was alert and skillfully avoided a
head-on collision,” he said. He added no
one involved was seriously injured, but
the tanker suffered damage from the impact.
Let them
know
Tancayo said as of Sunday, they do
not know the extent of damages to the
tanker or how long repairs may take.
The vehicle, which holds 2,500 gallons of
water, was responsible for extinguishing
about 75 percent of Friday’s fire, according
to Tancayo. With the vehicle temporarily
down for repairs, the “island [is] in jeopardy” from potential fires.
The police would not comment on
the incident as an investigation of the accident is ongoing.

Football on Fire
By Maggie Cassidy
K
eola DeMello scored four touchdowns and Noah Caparida added
three as the Molokai High School
(MHS) club football team rolled to a 5422 victory over host St. Anthony last
weekend.
Head Coach Mike Kahale said players were excited to play their first game
refereed by Maui Interscholastic League
(MIL) officials on a regulation size field,
and were motivated to make up for a loss
to the Trojans last season. They channeled
their excitement into a 40-0 halftime lead
en route to the victory, which included
additional touchdowns from Shauden
Pedro and Braddah Kaài.
“It takes a lot more effort to fundraise and put together an off-island trip,
so they were excited to come over and
play a full-on game,” Kahale said. “Defensively we were really tough, got a few
interceptions and fumble recoveries, big
stops at the goal line … and offensively
they were just clicking.”
In their second year of a three-year
plan to become an MIL-sanctioned team,
Kahale said the Farmers are exceeding expectations; the big win followed the team’s
10-plus touchdown performance in a controlled scrimmage against Seabury last
month. Players’ skills and execution are
improving, he said, crediting motivated
athletes and his solid coaching assistants.
“We had several people come up to
us and congratulate us on our progress –
coaches from other schools as well,” Kahale said. “They’re really surprised to see
Molokai football. I just want everybody
to know that we’re legit, we wanna keep
upping the ante and taking it to the next
level, and I think we can do it.”
Team captains DeMello, Jayven
Dudoit-Tabilangan, Kaloko Akina and
Caparida – whose personal hat-trick included a 75-yard kickoff return – have
provided quality leadership, Kahale said.
“[The captains] are stepping up, [being] real encouraging to the boys, keeping them accountable … but also letting
them know that they believe in them,”
he added. “They understand the importance of teamwork and unity and being
disciplined.”
The Farmers return to Maui to play
Seabury Oct. 15 before hosting St. Anthony at the MHS field Oct. 22.
News Briefs
MGH Receives $31k in Federal
Funds
Molokai General Hospital was awarded
$31,339 in federal funds last week to
help defray costs of serving uninsured or
under-insured patients, according to the
Maui News. The money was part of $9.1
million distributed by the Department of
Human Services to 15 private hospitals
statewide. It was made possible through
the Congressional Disproportionate Share
Hospital initiative supported by Sen.
Daniel Akaka.
State Seed Crop Industry Sets
Record
Hawaii’s seed crop industry is valued at
a record high of more than $247 million,
according to a report released by the
Hawaii Field Office of the National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) last
month. Corn accounts for about 96 percent
of crop value, NASS estimated. The report,
released for the 2010-11 season, represents
an increase of more than 5 percent from
2009-10, when the industry was said to
value less than $237 million.
Native Hawaiian Rolls
Commission Named
Former Gov. John Waihee will lead the
five-member Native Hawaiian Rolls
Commission, tasked with “compil[ing]
and certify[ing] a roll of qualified Native
Hawaiians who may choose to participate
in the reorganization of a Native Hawaiian
governing entity,” according to the Office
of Hawaiian Affairs. The Commission
was established via Act 195, a law signed
by Gov. Neil Abercrombie this year
recognizing Native Hawaiians as the only
indigenous, aboriginal, maoli people of
Hawaii. Other commission members,
announced by Abercrombie last month,
include: Naàlehu Anthony, chief executive
director of Òiwi TV; Lei Kihoi, former staff
attorney for Judge Walter Heen; Mahealani
Perez-Wendt, former executive director of
the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation;
and Robin Puanani Danner, president and
chief executive officer of the Council for
Native Hawaiian Advancement.

W
e are the Molokai Middle
School’s (MMS) all-girls robotics team. You may remember us as the Molokai Monarchs or the
Molokai Gleeks. This year, we are the
Molokai Oompa Loompas. Our team has
six members: Hikiliì Chow (9th grade,
MHS), Sarah Jenkins (9th grade, MHS),
Momi Afelin (8th grade, MMS), Cendall
Manley (8th grade, home schooled), Lily
Jenkins (7th grade, MMS), and Katy Domingo (6th grade, Kaunakakai Elemen-
tary School).
This year’s First Lego League theme
is “Food Factor.” Our team will work to
improve the quality of food by finding
ways to prevent food contamination. We
will be writing a series of articles educating you on different food borne illnesses
and how to prevent them. So next week,
we invite you to check back in because
we are going to be identifying the bacteria e-coli and giving you tips on how to
prevent this illness in your home!
Salmonella Poisoning
Hi, our names are Cendall Manley
and Katy Domingo. We would like to
educate you on the bacterium salmonella to ensure that you and your family
stay healthy.
Salmonella is one of the most common causes of food-borne illnesses. Salmonella usually infects the intestines of
birds, reptiles and mammals. It can also
be found in meat, poultry, eggs and milk
products. If a human is infected by salmonella, the most common symptoms
will be fever, diarrhea, and abdominal
cramps. Upon diagnosis, an infected individual should drink a lot of water to
avoid dehydration. One must see a doctor if common symptoms are accompanied by any of the following: high fever
(temperature over 101 F), blood in the
stool, prolonged vomiting that prevents
keeping liquids down, signs of dehydration and/or your illness lasts more than
three days.
It is easy to protect yourself and your
family from salmonella poisoning. Just
follow these five easy steps:
1. Clean. Wash your hands with soap
and water before preparing or coming in
contact with food.
2. Separate. Do not cross-contaminate
food! Wash hands, utensils, and cutting
boards after the have touched raw meat,
but before they are used on other foods.
Put cooked meat on clean plate not back
on the one that held the raw meat. Keep
raw meat away from fresh produce.
3. Cook. Cook your meat, poultry,
and eggs well; ground beef should be
cooked at an internal temperature of
160 F, chicken should be cooked at an
internal temperature of 170 F and eggs
should be cooked until yoke is firm.
4. Refrigerate leftovers quickly. Salmonella and other bacteria can grow fast
at room temperature.
5. “When in Doubt Throw it Out!”
Don’t allow salmonella to get you
down. Be smart when preparing and
storing your food products. A few extra steps now will keep you healthy and
happy.

Control and Prevention (CDC).

Reclaiming Hawaiian Lands
Submitted by Duke Kalipi on behalf of the Lawful Hawaiian Government
I
n July, Gov. Neil Abercrombie
signed Senate Bill 1520 into law,
becoming Act 195. This act is the
prelude to the Native Hawaiian Reorganization Act, also known as the
Akaka Bill. We believe its true intent
is to have the Hawaiian people agree
to give up their rightful claim to their
national lands, identified by the U.S.
government as ceded lands. These
are the lands of the former Hawaiian
Kingdom – government, crown and
public acreage.
“Although the Statehood Act
retroceded these lands to the State of
Hawaii, nearly 400,000 acres of what
was originally Hawaiian government
lands are still owned by the U.S. government,” according to a report from
Sen. Dan Inouye in Dateline Washing-
ton from 1972.
“What we are dealing with here in
practical terms is 1.8 million acres in
ceded lands… and about 200,000 acres
of Hawaiian homelands…” Gov. Abercrombie, then a member of Congress,
told the Committee on Indian Affairs
on June, 11, 2009. “This [Akaka Bill]
has nothing to do with the U.S. Constitution… or race. This has to do with
the assets, land and money.”
Through the passage of Act 195,
the Hawaiian people approved the
establishment of a Hawaiian governing entity that is controlled by the U.S.
federal and state government.
This is similar to another piece
of U.S. legislation, the Alaska Native
Claims Settlement Act of 1971. By
passing that act into law, the Alaskan
people gave up ownership of 300 million acres to the U.S. government in
exchange for federal recognition. This
followed the passage of the Native
Indian Reorganization Act of 1934,
which also gave the U.S. aboriginal
land title ownership to Indian lands in
exchange for federal recognition.
“[For the Hawaiian people to
receive] a cash compensation for extinguishment of the aboriginal title,
similar to that provided in the Alaska
settlement, would seem to be justified in light of the Alaska precedent,”
reads Inouye’s report.
Remember U.S. public law 103150, para. 29: “Whereas, the Native
Hawaiian people never directly relinquished their sovereignty as a people
or over their national lands to the
United States, either through their
monarchy, plebiscite or referendum.”
Act 195 is designed to have the
Hawaiian people participate in a plebiscite that would give their right to
sovereignty and their national lands
to the U.S. government.
Don’t let this happen to us. Support the lawful Hawaiian Government
and assist the reclamation of the national lands.
Elections for the government are
scheduled for Nov. 5 on Molokai, and
classes are held weekly on Thursdays
at the Mitchell Pauole Center at 6 p.m.
Contact Duke Kalipi, Molokai representative to the Hawaiian Government, at 808-213-5416 for more information.
A Successful Summer
By Keni Reyes, biological technician
T
he summer of 2011 was a very
successful one for the US Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Plant Material Center
(PMC) on Molokai because of three
Earth-Team/Americorps
members
who volunteered from June to July 31.
They were Jon Brito, Puna Kawamae
and Misty Mollena. Without the help
from these volunteers, many tasks
would still be unfinished.
Of the larger jobs, the removal of Leucaena trees (haole koa) in
windbreak lines and the installation of roughly 1,000 feet of fencing
on the north perimeter of the facility
required the most effort. The volunteers also fulfilled daily maintenance
of fields, irrigation repair, harvesting

The Truth about
Canine Parvovirus
By the Molokai Humane Society
What is Canine
Parvovirus?
Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2)
is a highly contagious and serious disease caused by a virus that attacks the
gastrointestinal tract of puppies and
dogs. It was first identified in 1978 and
is seen worldwide.
What are some signs of
parvovirus infection?
Dogs infected with CPV-2 that
are ill are often said to have “parvo.”
CPV-2 infection causes lethargy, loss
of appetite, fever, vomiting and severe,
often bloody diarrhea. Vomiting and
diarrhea can cause rapid dehydration,
and most deaths from parvovirus occur within 48 to 72 hours following the
onset of clinical signs. If your puppy
or dog shows any of these signs, you
should contact the Molokai Humane
Society (MoHS) immediately.
How is parvovirus spread?
Parvo is spread by direct dogto-dog contact and contact with contaminated environment or people. It
can be found on kennels, food and
water bowls, collars and leashes and
the hands and clothing of people who
handle infected dogs. It is resistant to
heat, cold, humidity and drying and
can survive in the environment for long
periods of time. Even tiny amounts of
feces or vomit containing parvo may
infect other dogs that come into contact
with the area. The easiest way to clean
an area that has been infected by parvo
is to spray the area with diluted bleach.
What dogs are at risk?
All dogs are at risk, but unvaccinated puppies less than 1 year of age
are at an increased risk. Dogs who do
not receive their annual vaccine booster
are also at increased risk.
How is canine parvovirus
diagnosed and treated?
CPV-2 infection is often suspected
based on the dog’s history, physical examination and laboratory tests. A fecal
test at MoHS can confirm the diagnosis.
No specific drug is available that
will kill the virus in infected dogs, and
treatment is intended to support the
dog’s body systems until the dog’s
immune system can fight off the viral
infection. Treatment should be started
immediately and consists primarily of
efforts to combat dehydration, control
vomiting and diarrhea, and an antibiotic to prevent secondary infections.
Sick dogs should be kept warm and
receive good nursing care. When a dog
develops parvo, treatment can be very
expensive, and the dog may die despite
aggressive treatment. MoHS offers billing agreements to those who cannot
afford to pay the entire fee at the time
of the visit. Early recognition and aggressive treatment are very important
in successful outcomes.
Since CPV-2 is highly contagious,
isolation of infected dogs is necessary
to minimize spread of infection. Proper
cleaning and disinfection of contaminated kennels and other areas where
infected dogs are (or have been) housed
is essential to control the spread of parvovirus. The virus is not easily killed,
so consult MoHS for specific guidance
on cleaning and disinfecting agents.
To protect their adult dogs, owners should be sure that their dog’s parvovirus vaccination is boosted every 1
to 3 years depending on dog’s lifestyle.
Erin or Kathy at MoHS would
be happy to answer any questions
you have regarding parvo and how
to protect your dogs. The time to contact MoHS is before your animal gets
sick. Our business hours are Monday 8
a.m. to 1 p.m., Tuesday noon to 5 p.m.,
closed Wednesday, Thursday 8 a.m. to
1 p.m., Friday noon to 5 p.m., and the
first Saturday of the month from 8 a.m.
to 1 p.m. Call 558-0000 to make an appointment to get your dog vaccinated.
Starting Oct.1 any puppy who receives their first two vaccinations from
MoHS on the required schedule will
receive the third vaccination for FREE!
All three shots need to be administered
at MoHS and each shot needs to be
given within the 3 to 4 week window
in order to qualify for the free vaccine.

Kahoòlawe Documentary to Premiere on Molokai
Submitted by Protect Kahoòlawe Òhana
I
n 2004, Molokai filmmaker Matt Yamashita was asked to document a
once-in-a-lifetime event on the island
of Kahoòlawe. Four non-stop days of
filming would be followed by five years
of story development and editing. Now,
the film is soon to be premiered for the
20th anniversary of the halt of the bombing of Kahoòlawe.
The filming experience changed Yamashita’s life.
“I hadn’t been to Kahoòlawe prior
to that, but I would return six more times
in the following years,” said Yamashita.
“That first trip really cemented my relationship with that very special place.”
The 2004 event marked the return
of the “Early Warriors” of Kahoòlawe,
the original activists who had protested
the U.S. military’s bombing of the island.
The movement began in the early 1970s
and helped spark the Native Hawaiian
Cultural Renaissance.
Molokai residents played a very significant role in the fight for Kahoòlawe.
Many of these individuals, including Dr.
Noa Emmett Aluli, Walter and Loretta
Ritte, George Helm, Joyce Kainoa, Karl
Mowat, Richard Sawyer, Collette Machado and Scarlett Ritte are featured in the
documentary.
But this is only half the story.
The Early Warriors were also joined
by the “Early Voyagers” of Hokuleà,

the original members of the iconic double hull canoe, including the late master
navigator Papa Mau Piailug. The voyaging families came to reunite with the
Early Warriors and also to rededicate
Kahoòlawe as a cultural and spiritual
navigational center.
Josh Pastrana was a part of Yamashita’s film crew. “It opened my eyes as a
Hawaiian, just to be in the presence of
these legends,” he recalled. “It was very
humbling and inspiring to hear their stories.” Pastrana now returns annually to
help in the restoration of the island.
The documentary uses the 2004
gathering as a backdrop to explore the
beginnings of the Native Hawaiian Cultural Renaissance and to track deep connections between the Early Warriors and
the Early Voyagers. It also keys in on an

hen it comes to antioxidant content,
blueberries
are
close to the top of the list. As
a consequence, everyone is
trying to grow them, and Hawaii is no
exception. Blueberry is a potential high
value niche-market crop
for Hawaii but little has
been known about the
adaptability of this crop
to our sub-tropical conditions until recently.
Trials on the Big Island
conducted jointly by
USDA researchers from
Oregon and Hawaii and
University of Hawaii
College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources researchers indicate that
a handful of varieties show promise, but
there are challenges.
There are many species of Vaccinium or blueberry, with two cousins native to Hawaii called Ohelo, Vaccinium
reticulatum from Hawaii and Vaccinium calycinum from Maui. The focus in
Hawaii has been to field test crosses of
southern hibush types which are a cross
between northern highbush from temperate climates and warm species such
as Vaccinium darrowii. These types are
more tolerant to warm weather and
have low chill requirements that allow
them to flower in parts of Hawaii.
At least six varieties have been tested on the Big Island since 2004 in three
locations. Early results from Waimea
indicate that Sharpblue, Misty, Emerald
and Jewel performed well, with Sharpblue having the sweetest fruit and Misty
having the largest fruits. Fruit size can
be manipulated by having good vegetative growth and a robust plant prior
flowering. The bigger the flower set, the
smaller the fruits. Diseases such as rust
and phytophthora can be a challenge.
Good drainage can help avoid some root
diseases, and dry conditions can help to
avoid leaf diseases. Misty and Sharpblue
even grew well in Hilo at 250 feet elevation.
The American Society of Horticulture Science Annual Convention held in
Kona last week brought key researchers from around the world to present
their research, and some of the giants of
blueberry research were
there. Among them was
Dr. Paul Lyrene of University of Florida, a leader in the development of
low chill blueberries. He
developed four of the six
varieties tested in Hawaii, including Misty,
Sapphire, Emerald, and
Jewel.
Aside from receiving a national
award at the meeting for his work, he
also presented his latest research on low
chill blueberries. His challenge when
developing crosses between northern
and southern varieties is that you don’t
know what parent it will take after. He
showed a slide with many confused
plants, not knowing if they should grow
or flower. Having a lot of vegetation
before flowering will allow the plant to
carry a larger fruit load.
I was able to talk story with Dr.
Lyrene, and he felt that blueberries
could be grown successfully in Hawaii.
The key was to have a strong harvesting season when the other parts of the
world are not in peak production, and
in this way you could get top dollar for
your product. He also cautioned about
a disease called rust that was prevalent
in rainy areas that could be a problem in
Hawaii.
Blueberry prefers very acid soil in
the pH range of 4.0 to 5.2. Sprays of iron
help to correct foliar deficiencies, and
ground applications of sulfur help to
acidify the soil. At the Volcano Research
Station blueberries are growing well as a
potted plant and will produce handfuls
of fruit. One source of disease-free plants
is North American Plants.

old wound between the two groups that
is resolved in a heartfelt and moving way.
Finishing the film was no easy task
for Yamashita. It took him four years
longer than expected. “I had to whittle
40 hours of tape down to one hour and
tell a story that spans over 30 years,” explained Yamashita. But he says he wasn’t
alone. “I had a lot of support in crafting
this story and at times I could even feel
the kupuna looking over my shoulder as
I edited.”
The timing couldn’t have been better. The film, “Mai Ka Piko Mai, a Hoì:
Return to Kanaloa,” was completed just
in time for the 20th anniversary of the
stopping of the bombing of Kahoòlawe.
“I hope the film does the same thing
for others as it did for us,” said Pastrana,
“to connect with Kahoòlawe and become a part of it.”
The 56-minute documentary, completed late last year, will be premiered on
Molokai on Oct.13 at 5:30 p.m. at Kulana
Òiwi during the Protect Kahoòlawe
Òhana’s 20th anniversary of the stopping of the bombing. It will also show at
this year’s Hawaii International Film Festival (check the HIFF website, HIFF.org,
for more info).
Molokai Fights to
Protect Its Fishing
Lifestyle

F
or the past 15 years Molokai has
been seriously trying to stop the
decline of it’s nearshore fisheries. In 1994 Governor John Waihe’e
created the Governors Molokai Subsistence Task Force, which officially
recognized the importance of the
subsistence economy on Molokai.
The task force found that up to 38
percent of our food consumption on
Molokai came from gathering in the
ocean and on the land. The task force
identified three major problems: offisland people who take too much,
taking of undersized juveniles and
lack of access.
The Molokai Aha Kiole has been
working for months with Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management
Council (WESPAC), an arm of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in a statewide
effort to bring management over our
resources down to the local level.
Through statewide meetings,
each island has been charged to present their three top issues. The Molokai Aha Kiole presented their top two
issues on Friday Sept. 23 to WESPAC.
First, the need to lift the federal ban
on the Hawaiian green turtle to allow
for traditional subsistence use, and
second, the need to stop the practice
of offisland escort boats raiding our
shorelines during canoe races and
other Molokai to Oahu and Maui to
Molokai races.
Five years of talks with the canoe racing associations have proven
no meaningful results. The issue is
alarmingly headed to confrontational
solutions.
Molokai residents have taken it
upon themselves to monitor and patrol the coastline to “educate” the escort boats and letters have been sent
out to explain nicely the concerns of
the subsistence users of our coastal
fisheries. We hope the state and federal governments will help resolve
this issue since the organizers of
these races do not want to recognize
their “kuleana” when they come to
Molokai to race.
Subsistence use of our nearshore fisheries is not a matter of recreational use, it is a matter of survival.

f you turn on the TV next week and see
a few familiar faces, don’t be too surprised.
Selected Molokai High School (MHS)
students in Perry
Buchalter’s Digital
Media class will be
featured in a segment
they produced for
PBS Hawaii’s Hiki
No, the nation’s first
student news network. The episode,
which kicks off the
show’s second season, is slated to air
Thursday, Oct. 13 at 7:30 p.m. on PBS.
Schools from around the state contribute pieces to each episode. Last year,
for example, Molokai students hosted the
April 25, 2010 episode – introducing the
show and segueing between other schools’
segments – while also contributing clips to
other shows, one of which PBS considered
“exemplar” compared to other schools,
Buchalter said.
This year, MHS students are producing “Student Voices,” which will be shown
during two 45-second segments Oct. 13
and focuses on student views toward peer
pressure. They will also create a one-minute piece to be shown later in the season.
The segments are conceived, drafted
and filmed by MHS students using professional equipment and standards. During
a recent class, they easily tossed around
broadcast terms – nat sound, wide angle,
extreme
close-up,
jump cut – to describe another project they were working on. The Hiki No
segments are edited
largely by Buchalter.
Charisse Manley, a student in Buchalter’s class, said
she and her peers
have come a long
way since they started working on their
Hiki No projects earlier in the term.
“At first everybody started out really
shame in front of the camera. We were all
stuttering and you had to take a bunch of
shots,” she said. “But we kept shooting and
by the last shot, everybody would get up
there and do their whole interview in [one]
try.”
Buchalter agreed, saying his students
usually come to him with no media experience, but through their learning in the
class, the Hiki No video is “98 percent all
by them.”
“If this thing is pulled off the way I envision it,” he told students during a recent
class, “it’ll be a hit.”

Get Your Teenagers
“Unglued”
By Kalei “Pumpkin” Moss
A
re your teenagers “glued” to
the TV, or do they have a cell
phone permanently attached to
their ear? Why not get them involved in
after-school activities with the 21st Century Grant and get them unglued from
the couch and glued to some fun. There
are activities available for students of the
Molokai Middle (MMS) and Molokai
High School (MHS) to get involved in.
MMS offers supplemental educational classes such as homework help,
math, computer and reading skill building. It also offers programs if your teen
just wants to get involved, such as yearbook, chess, robotics and bridges, an exposure class to engineering design and
concepts. Robotics (VEX), chess and
even college and career preparedness
classes (C2 Ready!) are just a few of the
programs that MHS students can participate in. Not only are these classes fun,
they also help prepare students for their
future. Hana Hou Tuesday is available
to the students and their families to take
advantage of the school library and the
many resources it has to offer.
The schedules for both MMS and
MHS are listed below. If you or your
teenagers are interested in participating in any of the 21st Century Grant
programs or if you have any questions,
contact the site coordinators listed for
each school. Look for more of the exciting things that the 21st Century Grant
is offering this school year in upcoming

Did you know that you can not throw a rock on Molokai without hitting a “Pastor”? There is nothing wrong with a truly “Born Again” Christian layman preaching a biblical message if he is a mature Christian
and knows the Bible. But every true Christian will know they should never present themselves as an ordained
minister unless they have been called by God into the ministry. Concerning the Gospel ministry, the Bible says
in Hebrews 5:4 “And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God”. Men and women
who are not “Born Again” may get by with this impersonation, because God only chastens his own. (In fact,
they are normally quite prosperous!) The first qualification of a man, whom God would call into the ministry,
is that he must be “Born Again”. One cannot even be a Christian if they have not experienced the “New Birth”
much less be called into the ministry. This first qualification excludes all but just a small few. Next, he must
be a man. God does not call women into the ministry! Then he must be the “husband of one wife”. (And that
doesn’t mean one at a time! ) Finally, he must be well educated in the literal interpretation of the Bible.
This Pastor was “Born Again” Easter Sunday of 1967. My wife, Sondra, and I celebrated our 49th
wedding anniversary this last July 15. I studied the Bible in Bible College for 6 years, and after one year of
internship, I was ordained into the ministry and approved as a Baptist missionary to the Polynesian Islands. I
have been a missionary for 34 years now.
As a God-ordained minister, I declare to the people of Molokai that God has sent me to this island
to warn people against false churches, and that if they persist in following their religion, they, along with those
who profess no religion at all, will be condemned to hell for all eternity. You must now decide whether I am
just another crackpot or whether God really did send me. Choose wisely!
If you are a Christian, and the Lord has put it into your heart to come and worship with us, please
know that you will be welcome. I know we are far from town, but if God is leading he will give you gas
money. And if you are someone who does not know that you are saved, or if you are coming out of a false
church, please visit our services. The time of our service is listed above.

Free Will Astrology
By Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Do unto others as they wish,”
advised French artist Marcel Duchamp, “but with imagination.”
I recommend that approach to you, Aries. You’re in a phase of
your astrological cycle when you can create good fortune for
yourself by tuning into the needs and cravings of others, and
then satisfying those needs and cravings in your own inimitable and unpredictable ways. Don’t just give the people you
care about the mirror image of what they ask for; give them
a funhouse mirror image that reflects your playful tinkering.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Winner of the American Book
Award in 1963, William Stafford wrote thousands of poems.
The raw materials for his often-beautiful creations were the
fragments and debris of his daily rhythm. “I have woven a
parachute out of everything broken,” he said in describing his
life’s work. You are now in a phase when you could achieve a
comparable feat, Taurus. You have the power to turn dross into
sweetness, refuse into treasure, loss into gain.
you launch in the coming weeks could achieve that kind of
staying power, Libra. So take maximum advantage of the vast
potential you have available. Don’t scrimp on the love and intelligence you put into your labor of love.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I don’t want to play the part
of the mythical phoenix again,” my Scorpio friend Kelly has
been moaning as she prepares for her latest trial by fire. “I’ve
burned myself to the ground and risen reborn out of the ashes
two times this year already. Why can’t someone else take a turn
for a change?”While I empathized, I thought it was my duty to
tell her what I consider to be the truth: More than any other
sign of the zodiac, you Scorpios have supreme skills in the art
of metaphorical self-immolation and regeneration. You’re better able to endure the ordeal, too. Besides, part of you actually
enjoys the heroic drama and the baby-fresh feelings that come
over you as you reanimate yourself from the soot and cinders.
Ready for another go?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When she was seven
years old, my daughter Zoe created a cartoon panel with colored pens. It showed an orange-haired girl bending down to
tend to three orange flowers. High overhead was an orange
five-pointed star. The girl was saying, “I think it would be fun
being a star,” while the star mused, “I think it would be great to
be a girl.” I urge you to create your own version of this cartoon,
Sagittarius. Put a picture of yourself where the girl was in Zoe’s
rendering. Getting your imagination to work in this way will
put you in the right frame of mind to notice and take advantage of the opportunities that life will bring you. Here’s your

What’s Up Maunaloa

by Doc Mott
Column by Aunty Kehau
W
ow! The
n e w
Resident
Manager of Nani
Maunaloa is placing a lot of families
into the homes. It's
great to see these
houses filled and not being emptied
for such a long period of time. Another benefit that comes with this is the
increase in enrollment at our school.
Keep up the good work Aunty Nicky,
but please try to get some sleep!
Maunaloa School has voted in the
2011-12 new officers for the Maunaloa
School Community Organization, or
MSCO. President is Kahana Dekneef,
vice president is Omi Seumalo, secretary is Jessica Valdez and treasurer is
Toni Yamamoto. They meet every second Wednesday of the month at the
school office at 2:30 p.m.
Did you hear that there is a Choking Game on Molokai? Well your roving reporter got an email that was circulated to various churches regarding
WEEKLY EVENTS
this horrible game among our keiki.
I went to the website and saw a few
videos on it and it is terrible. This is
a website you can go and do more
research on at chokinggame.net/
chokinggameeducationalmaterial.
html. Please take heed to this information and if you have keiki, please
take the time to sit down and discuss
this with them. Let us come together
to save our keikis on Molokai from
this deadly game before it's too late.
Mahalo for caring.
I thank the good Lord for sending
my grandson Joshua back home safely
after he fractured his right knee. With
a cast on his leg, he needed to come
home on the air ambulance from Oahu
to Molokai. I can't seem to understand
why. Island Air cannot have at least
one seat that has accessibility for
those passengers wearing a leg cast?
I understand that there are federal
regulations that need to be followed
but can you imagine if my grandson
didn't have medical coverage for
this? Wow, a big bill, hotel expenses
if there is no ohana on Oahu, expense,
expense and more expense! So this
roving reporter is doing a big shout
out to all my representatives from the
state and federal level. You gotta do
something about this, this is not fair.
This is the second time my grandson
needed to be medi-vaced back home
and I don't want to see anyone else go
through what my grandson had to go
through. So who is going to step up to
the plate and do something about it?
Hey, you'll get my vote.
A belated happy 15th birthday to
Isaiah Espaniola and happy 49th anniversary to Ron and Mary Neale. This
is your roving reporter Aunty Kehau
closing with this thought of the day.
Friends are of utmost importance. We
love, trust, get hurt, sometimes get
mad, but we love and trust anyhow
because that's the best way to let our
friendship grow. Until my next article,
take care, love one another and appreciate each day to the fullest with life
and joy. A hui hou and malama pono.

Veteran’s Corner
Column by Jesse Church
H
ello veterans,
old Jesse here
with all the
veteran’s news and
upcoming events. On
Aug. 17, 1942, members of the elite 2nd Marine Raider
Battalion conducted one of the first
American offensives in the Pacific
during World War II. The Raiders,
established in two battalions during
the war, are considered the first U.S.
Special Operations Force to form and
see combat in World War II, according to Marine Corps Forces Special
Operations Command. The men of
2nd Marine Raider Battalion, known
as “Carlson’s Raiders,” were led by
the legendary Lt. Col. Evans Carlson.
Col. Carlson used the term “gungho” (loosely translated, work together) to instill in his men the desire to
accomplish their assigned missions.
In mid-August, Carlson’s Raiders
were tasked with landing at Makin
Atoll, part of the Gilbert Islands, to
disrupt Japanese forces, and wreak
havoc on the base established there,
according to a Navy account. The
mission was also to distract Japanese
forces from the Solomon Islands,
where American troops were engaged in battles for Guadalcanal and
Tulagi. The Raiders arrived at the
island chain on two submarines, the
Nautilus and the Argonaut. Fighting
broke out soon after Raiders arrived
on land Aug. 17 at Butaritari, the
chain’s largest island, according to
the Navy account titled “Submarine
Commandos, Carlson’s Raiders at
Makin Atoll.” Japanese snipers engaged the American’s from the tops
of many of the coconut palm trees.
Carlson called for gunfire support
from the submarines lying offshore,
and Nautilus put her six-inch guns to
good use, according to the account.
When the Marines ashore spotted
a small transport and a patrol boat,
Nautilus shifted fire to them and
managed to sink both. The Marines
returned to Pearl Harbor and the
mission was considered a morale
boost back home. It was later discovered that nine Marines had been
left on Butaritari and were captured
by the Japanese. They were beheaded under orders of a Japanese ViceAdmiral, according to the historical
account.
Losing night-vision goggles
can kill a career. Troops keep their
equipment close at hand in combat
or in the field by “dummy cording”
the gear. Here’s why it called that,
dummy cording means what it says,
said Jefferson Reed, curator at the
National Infantry Museum at Fort
Benning, Ga. If you are not smart
enough to keep up with your compass, we are going to tie it to you,
he said. The method consists of tying looser items with a lanyard to
harder-to-lose equipment, for example, attaching a compass to a belt
or goggles to a helmet. The practice
dates back to the mounted cavalry
in the late 1800s, Reed said. Today
some troops tie down nearly all their
equipment. In some cases, zip ties
have replaced cord.
I’d like to remind all VFW members that the regular monthly meeting will be on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at
12:30 p.m. at Commander George
Harada’s home, if you have any
questions call the commander at 5535730. Also, I want to remind everyone that John Candello will be on
island on Thursdays Oct. 6 and 13 at
the Office of Hawaiian Affairs from
8 a.m. to 1 p.m. by appointment.
Call 553-3611 to make an appointment. I hope that everyone is working on their essay for our contest
during the month of October, “What
does being an American mean to
you?” Send entries post marked no
later than Nov. 1 to PO Box 482219,
Kaunakakai, 96748, or email editor@
themolokaidispatch.com, and good
luck to all. Please let’s not forget our
military personnel stationed around
the world, and especially those in
harms-way. We send them a big mahalo, and to our veterans at home for
all they have done, and the people
of Molokai you all are very special, I
love you all. If you have any news or
coming events, please give old Jesse
a call at 553-3323.

MECO is the franchised provider of electric utility service for the County of Maui.
MECO proposes an across-the-board rate increase in its various customer classes of approximately
6.7% over revenues at current effective rates. In addition, if not already approved in Docket No.
2009-0163, MECO’s 2010 test year rate case, MECO proposes to: (1) establish a purchased power
adjustment clause/surcharge to recover non-energy purchased power agreement costs by effectively transferring the recovery of purchased power costs from base rates to the new surcharge that
will be adjusted monthly and reconciled on a quarterly basis; (2) implement a revenue balancing
account tariff for a revenue decoupling mechanism that will remove the linkage between electric
revenues and sales; and (3) implement a revenue adjustment mechanism tariff (with certain proposed modifications).
As part of its Application, MECO also proposes to: (1) revise its energy cost adjustment
clause tariff to change the target heat rates by fuel type, apply heat rate deadbands and establish conditions for changing the target heat rates; and (2) implement a change in accounting for administrative
and general (“A&G”) transfers to construction projects based on the methodology recommended in
a recent review of MECO’s A&G expenses.
For any increases in MECO's rates and charges ultimately approved by the Commission,
the total revenue requirement for the January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 test year will not exceed
the increase in revenues of $27,523,000 (approximately 6.7%) over current effective rates, as set forth
in MECO's Application. However, the increases in MECO's rates and charges to be finally approved
by the Commission, if any, may be higher or lower than the proposed rates and charges noted in
MECO's Application.
MECO's Application is available for review through the Commission's electronic Document Management System, accessible at the following website address: http://dms.puc.hawaii.gov/
dms/. In addition, copies of MECO's Application are available for review by contacting: (1) MECO
[(808) 871-8461 on Maui, (877) 871-8461 on Molokai, or (808) 565-7920 on Lanai]; (2) the Commission [(808) 984-8182 on Maui, or (808) 586-2020 in Honolulu]; or (3) the Division of Consumer
Advocacy [(808) 586 2800].
All interested persons are invited to attend the public hearings to state their views.
Statements may also be mailed to the Public Utilities Commission at 465 South King Street,
Room 103, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813, or submitted via electronic mail at Hawaii.PUC@hawaii.
gov. All written statements should reference Docket No. 2011-0092. Any motions to intervene
or participate in this proceeding must comply with Subchapter 4, Rules of Practice and Procedure
Before the Public Utilities Commission, Hawaii Administrative Rules, Title 6, Chapter 61, and must
be filed with the Commission at its Honolulu Office by October 31, 2011. Special accommodations for persons with disabilities can be made if requested reasonably in advance by contacting
the Commission's Honolulu Office.
