aroma of fresh produce. Last
Thursday, keiki rolled up their
sleeves and dirtied their knees while
picking some fresh veggies, fruits,
herbs and spices at Kumu Farms.
Kumu Farms opened its rural
lands and nursery to Tutu & Me, a traveling preschool, to teach kids about the
importance of organic farming in honor
of Earth Month.
Car Crash
Fatality
By Megan Stephenson
S
cott Furtado Jr., 24, was the driver
of a vehicle that crashed last week
near Molokai Shores. He died at
the scene.
On March 29, a single vehicle accident on Kamehameha Highway was
reported to the Kaunakakai Police Department around 11:10 p.m. Furtado
was heading west when he went off
the road on the right shoulder, collided
with a signpost, returned to westbound
lane, crossed into oncoming lane,
struck another signpost, fire hydrant,
fence post, overturned and collided
into the maintenance shed of the Molokai Shores condo complex, according to
the police report.
Furtado was not wearing a seatbelt
at the time, and was ejected from the
vehicle and pinned underneath.
Kaunakakai Sergeant Meyer said an
autopsy was done April 1, but the report
will not be released until next month.
Police say alcohol is suspected as a “contributing factor,” but the toxicology results have not been released yet.
This is the first car accident fatality
on Molokai for 2010. There were none
in 2009, and two in 2008, according to
the police department.
Furtado’s obituary, provided by
his family, can be read on page 15.
Tots roamed around in the fresh
morning air last week, picking beets,
carrots, parsley, basil, rosemary, mint,
eggplant and beans, and even planted
some squash (pictured above).
Manu Vinciguerra, director of marketing and sales for Kumu Farms, said
their goal is to promote healthier lifestyles with fresh, organic foods.
“We want to educate and inspire
other farmers and people,” she said.
“Today, we’re showing the kids how
to plant and harvest, and get more in
touch with the soil.”
For Earth Day, Kumu Farms will be
hosting a kapuna day on April 22, filled
with much of the same activities.
“We’re starting young and then
working our way to the kapuna for
Earth Month,” Vinciguerra said. “We’ve
gone from the future to the past.”
n a move that will allegedly
save the taxpayers $8 million
annually, the Department of Human Services (DHS) announced last
week it is closing and consolidating 31 eligibility offices statewide,
and implementing a new Eligibility
Processing and Operations Division
(EPOD) from offices in Honolulu
and Hilo. Molokai’s office, with four
staff members, is one of the closing
locations, with its last day scheduled for June 30.
“It’s hard to say right now what
will happen [to Molokai staff],” said
Toni Schwartz, communications officer for DHS.
Eligibility offices currently located around the state such as Molokai provide applications, renewal
of applications, and maintenance
services for about 66,000 public assistance recipients. DHS says their
new phone services and website, to
replace local offices, will streamline
applications and give their customers faster and easier service.
But many disagree. Kalaè Tangonan is a Molokai resident who receives DHS benefits and is fighting
the closure plan.

tends to be more helpful” versus

Budget Released to Disharmony
Maui County to introduce furloughs.
Dispatch

t’s the woman whose shoulders bear
the weight of four children; the doctor whose success is measured by the
well being of his patients; the humble
teacher dedicated to higher learning; and
the recovering drug addict who’s discovered resilience amid a tough battle.
Every one of these individuals – and
many more – was seen at last week’s public hearing for the County of Maui’s 2011
Fiscal Year (FY 2011) budget proposal.
Some offered gratitude for the continued support of cardinal services, others
pleaded for funding or to simply keep
things as they are.
On March 15, Mayor Charmaine Tavares released a $530 million budget proposal to the council’s Budget and Finance
Committee. The economic downturn resulted in a 6 percent reduction of allotted
funds compared to FY 2010.
The $30 million gap will be filled by
cuts to services and nonprofits, for the
third year in a row. Included is a property tax increase, raised utility rates, oneday-a-month furloughs for most Maui
County employees, and various service
fee hikes.
The Budget and Finance Committee
– comprised of all nine County Council
members – is tasked with bringing the
mayor ’s budget to the people, gathering
This Week’s
input, implementing possible changes
and then balancing the funds.
“The council has the final say over
the numbers for each island,” said Councilman Bill Kauakea Medeiros. “If one
program needs funds, we have to find
that money from another program.”
As the board sat before about 70
testifiers during the March 30 hearing
at Mitchell Pauole Center, there was
one thing made very clear: on Molokai,
when it comes to igniting action, there is
strength in numbers.
Speak Now
While some asked for continued
support of mental health programs, the
Maui Food Bank, the drop-in center, the
schools’ robotics program and the Molokai Youth Center, the most heated discussion was about the proposed bus fare.
Currently, riding the bus is free to
all patrons. But come July, anyone who
uses Maui Economic Opportunity (MEO)
transportation may have to fork over a
few bucks to get around town. The mayor plans on imposing a $1 bus fee for any
of its scheduled routes – essentially to
help cover the $7 million in costs for bus
operations and the construction of bus
shelters.
The fee poses a major inconvenience

She estimated 80 percent of
Molokai “has some sort of assistance”
from DHS.
Putting Up a Fight
Tanganon is not the only individual fighting the consolidation plan.
Allen Ng, Western region administrator for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is also against DHS
office closures. He sent a letter to Lillian Koller, director of DHS, about the
State Nutrition Action Plan (SNAP), a
USDA food stamp program facilitated
by DHS.
His letter addresses USDA regulations that may be hindered by
DHS’ new streamlining plan: timeliness of applications and requirement
of availability to have a face-to-face
interview. Schwartz said Koller has
not formally responded to the letter, which “urges” DHS to reconsider
their plan.
The Hawaii Government Employees Association (HGEA), the union
representing DHS employees, said the
letter states what their organization has
also been trying to point out.
“There were places where these
types of modernization programs
worked, but they involved staff input said she and other recipients are planand took time to plan out,” said Jodi ning a rally in the next week to shed

DHS is adding a new automation
function to their website, which is estimated to cost $783,382. Their news
release also stated their customers
can visit other “social service agencies, hospitals and health clinics on
all Islands.”
One social service and health
clinic on Molokai, Na Puùwai, offers
help with some of the same health
services as DHS, such as Medicaid
and Med-Quest. They have a new eligibility worker, Andrea Kamae, who
will help work through the medical
paperwork. Judy Mikami, head of resource development at Na Puùwai,
said Kamae will also be able to help
with other welfare paperwork, such
as financial assistance, as a community service.
“I don’t think it’s a burden; that’s
our focus – to help the community,”
Mikami said. “[But] it’s the State’s responsibility, they should do it.”
“This is a significant policy decision facing Hawaii, and how we as
a community choose to provide to
those having a tough time surviving,”
Perreira said.
“Until they pass some sort of legislative action, we’re going forward
with the plan,” Schwartz said.

for some, who can’t afford to pay
when the bus is their main mode of
transportation.
“It’s difficult getting around
Molokai,” said Anthony Spearman,
one concerned community member.
“[The bus] provides a needed service
for those who can’t afford it or have
no job. We need help.”
Judith Gardner agreed, claiming
many disabled persons are on a fixed
income and wouldn’t have the money
to pay the bus fee.
“I’m a client of MEO and represent Home Pumehana,” she said.
“[We] need the MEO bus to go shopping, go to doctor ’s appointments.
Many have no car. We hope you can
help us and keep things as they are.”
Among other topics discussed
was the importance of the emergency
medi-vac helicopter.
Testifier Scotty Schaefer took the
stage in support of the chopper and
spoke on behalf of his wife, Hoòlehua
pastor Lynette Schaefer.
“We need to continue to fund the
helicopter,” he said. “Too many grieving family members watched loved
ones die – needlessly because there
wasn’t enough time. It is a tool that
has been put in the hands of emergency providers, a tool that has saved
many lives.”
Dr. Bill Thomas, director of Molokai General Hospital, added it is critical to be able to transport emergency
victims to other facilities to get the
services they need, hence the need for
the helicopter.

“We’re still not staffed to handle
trauma patients,” Thomas said. “We
need this helicopter because survival
relies on timeliness of transfer. I understand it’s a big investment, but it’s
an investment Molokai relies on.”
More Furloughing
Besides wading through numerous debilitating cuts, the mayor is
also calling for 12 furlough days as a
means to save on expenditures, one
for each month of the next fiscal year.
The furloughs will affect most
employees, including unionized Hawaii Government Employees Association and United Public Workers
employees, division heads and managers. The mayor, her appointed staff,
directors and deputies, and other
managerial staff will also be affected.
The furlough plan will reduce
employees’ compensation by 4.6 percent and reduce operating expenses
by $15 million.
Although the furloughs are undesirable for most, it is still less than the
proposed plan for Honolulu, whose
mayor plans to enact two furlough
days a month for city and county employees on Oahu.
Councilman Medeiros said once
the public hearings conclude, the
council will deliberate the budget in
the chambers and make amendments
if needed by May 31.
The final balanced budget for FY
2011 will go into affect on July 1.

O
n their day off for Good Friday, half a dozen Molokai
High School (MHS) students
opted to learn a little about the healthcare industry. Their classroom was
moved to Molokai General Hospital
(MGH) and their instructors were real
staff members.
Out of ten students signed up
for the MHS program through their
Health Pathways coursework, six
girls showed up for the first week of
the program last Friday morning. The
students will meet four times during
the month of April, discussing careers
in nursing, pharmacology, pediatrics,
emergency medical services, and
many others with staff at MGH.
Lei Mokiao, director of human
resources at MGH, said this is the
third year of the program, and the
largest so far.
At their first meeting, they were
visited by Cora Harris, a licensed
practical nurse who works in pharmacology. She gave the girls a math
quiz about medication dosage size.
“When it comes down to it – simple math” is what you need, Harris
said. Nurses need to know the different names of drugs, and how their patients will react to it by dosage.
The students were also impressed
by a brand-new piece of equipment at
MGH – a vein viewer. The large machine helps nurses start intravenous,
or IV, drugs. By sticking the patient’s

One student, sophomore Lee
Nell Hernandez, said she wasn’t sure
what health profession she wanted to
go into when she arrived. But during
the four-week program, she’ll be exposed to more than just nursing when
different departments come and talk
with the students. Last week, Niki
Kalipi, business services and medical records manager, spoke about
the non-clinical side to the hospital
– managing charts, transfers and patient’s medical records, and knowing
medical terminology.
The students also talked with Dr.
Bill Thomas, MGH’s medical director,
and in future weeks will hear about
radiology and physical therapy.
Sophomore Nika Mendija said
she signed up for the program because she expects to learn more about
the variety of hospital careers. After
attending the first three classes, the
students will then be trained and certified in CPR and first aid.
Mokiao said it’s important to get
the kids started early in their skills.
Except for one senior – who has taken
the program before – all the other students are sophomores.
“It gives them time to take higher
math classes,” she said. “They can learn
the fundamentals before applying to

and culture. Kaoli and his family embrace the blessing of his talents, but understand it is a privilege not to be taken
for granted.
“We want to do it the old style way,”
says his soft-spoken father, Pulani. “Always stay humble, no matter what the
result, and always come out smiling.”
Kaoli has plenty of reasons to smile.
He is turning heads around the world

that’s as fluid as the ocean itself. At 14
he’s doing well in state and national
competition, and his gravity-defying

the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation to support his surfing progress.
This is a kid who killed his pet pig
Houston, turning it into pork lau lau, to
sell for the money to enter his first surfing competition. He was seven then, living on Molokai, and determined to enter

birthday, Kaoli is about to hit the critical age of every young aspiring athlete.
It’s make it or break it time and the quiet
boy with the old-world Hawaiian style
and firm faith is going for it.
Kaoli is the oldest of eight children
who range in age from nine months to
14 years. His father is from the “Forbidden Island” of Niìhau, a place where
the English language is rarely, if ever
spoken. His mother is from Molokai, still
a world away from city lights and fastpaced living. The Kahokuloas reside on
Oahu now, but have retained the simple
life that they say is focused on God first,
and family second.
The whole family supports Kaoli’s
budding career, but Kaoli has responsi-
bilities to the family in turn.
“He’s lucky if he gets to surf four
hours a week and a lot of times the place
we end up at isn’t really great for him,
it’s great for them,” says his mother Elea,
nodding towards the little ones.
While he waits to compete in his
HSA heat, Kaoli plays around with the
rest of the kids under the shade of their
pop-up tent. Three of them are Kaoli’s
full-blood siblings and four of them have
been hanai-ed, or taken in by his parents
as their own. There is no distinction. His
parents ask nothing of the kids, yet they
respond automatically to the needs of
each other. It’s a marvelous illustration
of the Polynesian family tradition: respect, heart-felt responsibility, and love.
In preparation for his next heat, Kaoli and his father discuss his approach,
all in Hawaiian. Somehow it seems
much more than a language. The words
sound poetic, almost haunting, and
bring a sense of ancient story to the situation. It’s as if his father is giving him
all the mana he needs to go and ride the
waves. It feels like he has the edge on his
rivals already.
Kaoli goes on to win the final then
returns to life as usual with his family. For these Hawaiians, life isn’t about
surfing so much as surfing is an outlet to
express and share their Hawaiian, spiritual and family values.
Like guiding lights through the generations, Hawaiians such as Duke Kahanamoku and Eddie Aikau have respectfully carried forth the sport of surfing with
a reverence for its roots and a desire to
share their culture with people around the
world. It wasn’t titles or fame that led the
world to embrace Eddie and Duke, it was
their spirit of humility and aloha, and their
willingness to share it one-on-one with all
whose paths they crossed.
The hope that the Kahokuloas hold
for Kaoli’s surfing career is that it provide him an opportunity to share his
spirit and bring respect and understanding to his culture and values. If worldly
success comes with that, too, it will simply be a bonus.
Ask Kaoli what he aspires to in
surfing and you get a simple, satisfying
answer:
“To enjoy surfing, everywhere
around the world.”

By Honey Girl Hoe
The earth is dying, the
change is too fast paced
Total world domination is
becoming an undignified race
Like taking 3 shots that’s laced
Yer mind is spinning out of
control
But yer having fun cuz the
doubt builds slow
While nuclear militia is being developed
Forget guerrilla warfare, this is a full frontal attack
That’ll wipe out even the homie that’s got
yer back
Loving our neighbor isn’t just the person
next door
What about the next country, or four
Because the clothes that you wore
Were hand made by 3rd world children
Getting paid 30 cents or less per hour to
make their liven
It disgusts me how much pride we take
just for having more
When we could be contributing our excess
to those we ignore
As a civilized nation we practice savagery
By spending the sweat of others lavishly
Commenting with pity, thinking we’re witty
Over lattes and frappacinos in the big city
We’re 50 states of ignorant [jerks]
Thinking as a world power we have a
higher society
Those inebriated should wake up and take
a dose of sobriety
We’re obviously a people of variety
But we can’t shake hands with our originators
It goes against the laws of history to be the
peace makers
For we are the writers of ARMED revolution
It never crossed our minds that war ISN’T
a solution
They call it patriotic, I call it selfish
For defense, we specialize on the offense
Antsy to go to war, ready to crack down
the law
Like we’re some sort of gods above all
I guess equality and freedom only applied to us
And to maintain that we’ll kill if we must
Reduced to mindless animals smelling the
blood lust
We prey on the rich lands of earth’s crusts
We’re a country that’s schemed, lied,
bribed, and done things that’ll leave ya
eyes closed and yer toes curled
And we say God bless America?! NO. God
bless the WORLD.

t’s a site no one wants to see –
somber expressions of orphaned
children, families bereaved by
the loss of loved ones, hospital halls
strewn with bodies in need of medical assistance, mass destruction of
not only a city or country, but of an
entire people.
“It’s a little overwhelming,”
said Randy Manley, pastor of Molokai Baptist Church. “There’s so much
destruction – I guess a part of it is
this sense of ‘where do I begin?’”
Manley was one of 20 who ventured to Haiti on March 9, offering assistance to those affected by
a 7.0-magnitude earthquake that
struck the Caribbean nation Jan. 12,
leaving hundreds of thousands dead.
For eight days, the group – comprised of 15 Molokai Baptist Church
members and five mainland volunteers – assisted doctors and nurses
Purse, an international Christian relief organization, had been
planning to go to Haiti since last
summer, even prior to the quake.
Manley said the group initially
set out to help with churches, the
schools of those churches, and to
also train pastors and teachers at the
headquarters.
“We’ve gone over there in the
past to help with maintenance kind
of stuff,” he said. “That was our initial goal, then the earthquake hit and
it was like, ‘Well, now what do you
need us to do?’”
Manley has been to Haiti a total
of four times, three of which were
with the church. During these travels he worked with the Baptist Haiti
Mission, a nonprofit whose objectives are to foster the growth of Haiti’s some 330 churches and schools,
hospital, medical clinics and com-
munity development programs.
This time, however, the need
shifted in an almost unthinkable
way.
big planes on the ground before his
plane even landed, brimming with
people from all over the world, coming to help.
‘Appreciative Spirit’
‘It’s Not Over’
Hospital floors and hallways
were still flooded with victims. Five
of the volunteers, including Dino
Fontes – head of nursing at Molokai General Hospital – and Dr. Dan
Shuman – a former Molokai Health
Center doctor who is now practicing in Texas – lent their hands at a
small hospital, only one of four still
operating, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s
densely populated capital.
Although the site of the earthquake’s aftermath was as jarring as it
was heartbreaking, Manley said it was
the kindness and gratitude of the Haitian community that prevailed.
“The response was nothing but
thanks [from the Haitian people],”
he said. “There was a real appreciative spirit, especially from patients
in the hospital, they were so incredibly grateful.”
The plight of the Haitian people has spawned an unprecedented
amount of support, with relief agencies of every kind pouring in from
around the globe.
“It’s very encouraging to see
how many people have stepped in to
help,” Manley said. “I heard a [statistic] the other day that half of the
people in the United States have given something to Haiti. It’s amazing.”
One of the first things Manley
noticed was how busy the airport
was. In previous trips, it wasn’t
busy at all. He said there were three
Still, the birth of a new Haiti remains in its beginning stages, with a
long road ahead.
“It seems the progress of getting
basic necessities to people is going
well,” Manley said. “The rebuilding
part has started, but I don’t know if
that could progress fast enough.”
With a slew of tent cities popping up, housing a million Haitians
left homeless by the quake, and the
beginning of an unfavorable rainy
season, it could be years before the
community is rebuilt.
“We’re definitely going to be
hearing some stories over there,”
Manley said. “It’s not over.”
Manley, who was also accompanied by his wife and three children,
said they plan on returning again to
help rebuild houses sometime this
fall.
In the meantime, he encourages
others to give what they can to the
relief, whether it is financially or
spiritually.
“People need physical and spiritual hope,” he said. “When you step
into a situation where people didn’t
have much to begin with and now
have absolutely nothing, [Haiti’s
situation] is highlighted, it’s underscored.
“Haiti needs a lot of prayer, and
that’s something we all can be involved in.”

Versatile Quilting Skills
By Alison Place
M
achine quilting allows one
to create beautiful works
without having to know
the intricate skills of quilting by
hand. Becky Takashima has been
practicing this craft for years and
has taught it to many people on the
island. Machine quilters have made
a host of things using this technique: table runners, pot holders,
wall hangings, pillow cases, and tshirt quilts to name a few.
According to Becky, you don’t
have to have any prior experience
to learn this. All you have to do is
sew a straight line with a sewing
machine – and if you don’t know
how to do that, she’ll show you!
She offers a free quilting class every other Saturday from 8 a.m. – 4
p.m. in the Kaunakakai School Li-
brary. It is a flexible day, and participants come in and out all day
long as their schedules allow. These
classes are sponsored by the 21st
Century Grant, Connecting Molokai
M’s: “Me, My Mind, My Manaò”
(CMM).
If you are interested in joining
in, Becky encourages you to stop by,
talk story and see what the possibilities are. Then you can plan your
project. Sewing machines are provided and you don’t have to bring
anything that first day. The quilting
group will be meeting on the following Saturdays: April 17, April
24, May 1, May 8, and May 15. Call
Joshua Adachi (553-173) to register

Veuster, was a Roman Catholic missionary who sacrificed his life in
service to those suffering from Hansen’s Disease in Kalaupapa on the
Hawaiian island of Molokai.
Damien was canonized as Saint
Damien by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI on Oct. 11 in Rome. Saint
Damien was granted a memorial
feast day, which is to be celebrated
annually on May 10.
“Though Saint Damien passed
away on April 15, 1889, his legacy lives on,” added Lt. Governor

Volleyball opens season with strong effort.
University of Hawaii
Spring Football
By Heather Driscoll
The University of Hawaii football team began spring training last
Wednesday with some changes. Former UH quarterback and previous
quarterbacks coach Nick Rolovich
is now offensive coordinator; Dave
Aranda moved from defensive line
coach to defensive coordinator and
Tony Tuioti was named the defensive tackles coach.
The Warriors have 15 returning
starters from last season, when they
were 6-7. among them is senior slot
receiver Greg Salas, ranked fourth
nationally in receiving yards per
game at 122.3.
The UH season starts on September 2, 2010, against Southern
California at Aloha Stadium. To prepare, their spring training will end
with the Warrior Bowl on April 30.
Woods Begins Masters
Training
Two Molokai volleyball players go in for a kill against Seabury during Friday night’s
game at The Barn.
T
he Molokai High School boys’
volleyball team opened its
season with three aggressive
sets but fell short as a tough Seabury
Hall took triple wins – 25-8, 25-13,
25-12 – in last Friday night’s game.
Although the Farmers played
their first game at home with a heap
of cheering fans, Seabury’s relentless efforts showed no mercy on
Molokai.
“Tonight showed our inexperience,” said Molokai coach Bill Dudoit. “We have a lot of youth on our
team.”
Dudoit said Seabury was a polished team – the one to beat – but
that the Farmers still hold promise
for this season.
“It was out first game and a definite eye-opener,” Dudoit said. “We
got to work on our overall game,
serving and transitions, and know
the importance of offense and defense.”
Dudoit expects a better game
next week when the boys face off
with Lanai on April 9 and 10 at The
Barn.
Softball
Molokai’s softball team had a
tough three-game series at Hana,
but still put on a good performance.
Hana captured a double win on
Thursday, outscoring Molokai 2-1 in
the first game and 16-0 in the second, and then again on Friday, 9-3.
Despite the losses, the first of
the Maui Interscholastic League
(MIL) Division II series was one of
the best games the girls played, said
coach Coco Augustiro.
“It was a real ball game,” she
said. “Toward the end there were
two outs and Corrie-Lee [DudoitEnglish] ended up walking four batters – [Hana] walked for their win.”
During
Thursday’s
second
game at Hana Ball Park, Molokai’s
second basemen sprained her ankle,
forcing the Lady Farmers to finish
the game with only eight players.
Hana High School came out
fierce again on Friday limiting
Molokai to only three points. Du-
doit-English and Larriley Rawlins
each doubled for the Farmers. Rawlins finished 2 for 4 and scored a run.
Augustiro is expecting some
good competition when Seabury
comes to town April 16 and 17, and
says the girls just need to do a little
homework.
“They just need to play hard,
play their best,” she said.
The girls’ and boys’ tennis team
played two teams this weekend in
Maui, which yielded some mixed
results.
On Friday, the boys were defeated by Lahainaluna 3-1 at the War
Memorial Courts, while the girls
also lost against Lahainaluna, 5-0,
at the Lahaina Civic Center courts.
Mason Horner fought hard for the
boys (and earned them one point)
but came up short to Wasseem Bel at
No. 2 singles. Horner was defeated
2-6, 6-3, 6-4.
On Saturday, the St. Anthony
High School girls’ tennis team swept
the Lady Farmers, 5-0, at the War
Memorial Courts, while the Molokai
boys succumbed to a 3-2 defeat.
St. Anthony’s Scott Dahlquist
and Myles Gregory defeated Molokai’s Herbert Antolin and Kaipoi
Kondo 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 at No. 1 doubles,
and later St. Anthony’s Aaron Hirayama and Chris Redeker won by
default at No. 2 doubles.
Although Coach Stacey Horner
did not travel with the team this
weekend, he said they still did fairly
well.
“There were some challenging matches,” Horner said. “Mason Horner won his first match and
said it was the longest one he ever
played. He fought hard.”
Horner said his players felt the
heat not only on the court, but in the
air.
“It was really humid over
there,” he said. “It was tough on
them, very grueling.”
The tennis team will be competing in the East-West playoffs and
team final on April 16 and 17.

By Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19): It would be a good week for
you to perfect your ability to crow like a rooster, Aries. I also
recommend that you practice your skill at leaping out of
bed in the morning fully refreshed, with your imagination
primed and ready to immediately begin making creative
moves. Other suggested exercises: being on the alert for
what’s being born; holding a vision of the dawn in your
heart throughout the day; and humorously strutting
around like you own whatever place you’re in.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There may be times in the
coming week when you will in a sense be dreaming

the law of reversals will be in full bloom. Things that
have been last will, at least temporarily, be first, and

Tax Tips for Last Minute Filers
IRS News Release
W
ith the tax filing deadline
of April 15 close at hand,
the IRS wants taxpayers
to know several excellent tips to
consider if they are still working on
their federal tax return.
“It’s important the taxpayers
carefully review their tax returns
before filing,” said IRS spokesman
David A. Tucker II. “Accuracy is always important. There may also be
credits taxpayers are eligible for that
will help reduce their tax responsibility or increase their refunds.”
Last year ’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act created
a full slate of tax breaks, which can
be claimed on tax returns right now.
These include the Homebuyer Credit, Making Work Pay Credit, American Opportunity Credit, Home Energy Credit, and New Car Tax and
Fee Deduction. More information at
IRS.gov/recovery
Here are twelve important
tax tips to keep in mind:
1. Don’t Miss the Deadline:
If you have a balance due and
don’t file a tax return by April 15,
you face interest on the unpaid
taxes as well as a failure-to-file
penalty. Interest and penalties are
added to your balance due. If you
can’t file by the deadline, request
an extension of time to file (See
Tip #9 below).
2. E-file your return:
Don’t miss out on the benefits of
e-file. Your tax return will get processed quickly and if there is an error on your return, it will typically
be identified and corrected right
away. E-file is available 24 hours
a day, seven days a week, from the
convenience of your own home. If
you file electronically and choose
to have your tax refund deposited
directly into your bank account,
you will have your money in as
few as 10 days.
3. Review tax ID numbers:
Remember to carefully check all
identification numbers on your
return. Incorrect or illegible Social
Security Numbers can delay or reduce a tax refund.
4. Double-check your figures:
Whether you are filing electronically or by paper, review all the
amounts you transferred over
from your Forms W-2 or 1099.
5. Review your math:
Taxpayers filing paper returns
should also double-check that they
have correctly figured the refund
or balance due and have used the
right figure from the tax table.
6. Sign and date your return:
Both spouses must sign a joint return, even if only one had income.
Anyone paid to prepare a return
must also sign it.
7. Choose Direct Deposit:
To receive your refund quicker,
select Direct Deposit and the IRS
will deposit your refund directly
into your bank account.
8. How to make a payment:
People sending a payment should
make the check out to “United
States Treasury” and should enclose it with, but not attach it to,
the tax return or the Form 1040-V,
Payment Voucher, if used. Write
your name, address, SSN, telephone number, tax year and form
number on the check or money order. If you file electronically, you
can file and pay in a single step
by authorizing an electronic funds
withdrawal. Whether you file a
paper return or file electronically,
you can pay by phone or online
using a credit or debit card. Visit
IRS.gov for more information on
payment options.
9. File an extension:
Taxpayers who will not be able to
file a return by the April 15 deadline should request an extension
of time to file. If you can’t meet
the April 15 filing deadline, get
an automatic six-month extension
of time to file by filing Form 4868,
Automatic Extension of Time to
File. The form needs to be submitted by April 15. Remember, the
extension of time to file is not an
extension of time to pay.
10.Visit the IRS Web site anytime
of the day or night:
IRS.gov has forms, publications
and helpful information on a variety of tax subjects.
11. Review your return, one more time:
Before you seal the envelope or
hit send, go over all the information on your return again. Errors
may delay the processing of your
return, so it’s best for you to make
sure everything on your return is
correct.
12. Know that Help Is Available:
For more information about filing
and paying your taxes, visit 1040
Central on IRS.gov. Important information is also available in Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax.
Forms and publications are available for download from IRS.gov or
can be ordered by calling toll free
800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).

O
ne of the first things I learned
about the publishing business
is that you can’t please everyone. While we’ve done our best to stay
out of popularity contests, we have
tried hard to abide by an important set
of values. One of those values is to not
cause harm within our community.
Our intention for last week’s
April Fools cover was to have a good
time – to create a harmless diversion
from an otherwise normal workweek.
Our apologies to those affected by last
week’s April Fools cover stories. To
those who were hurt, please accept my
sincerest apology – it was never our intention to cause anyone harm.
Sincerely,
Todd Yamashita – Editor in Chief

“Molokai High School Goes
to Washington D.C.” from
the March 10 issue.
This would have to be one of
the best programs for the Molokai
kids. However this program has been
around longer then 1990. I myself went
my senior year in 1989 and I helped
raise money for the group that went in
1988. It’s been around for a long time.
Till today I can remember almost everything we did including the hideous
cloths that I chose to wear that week.
One being my multi bright color jams.
Remember those? I think they call it capris now! Good Job Molokai!

“Moloka’i Òpio Ranked
Fourth in State Scholastic
Chess Tournament” from
the March 24 issue.
I been playing chess since 1968 and
I have seen how much it brought to me.
I hope the kids enjoy what they have
learned and what they going to learn.
It was great news to learn we came in
fourth place. If any of the kids would
like to learn more I would be happy to
teach.

Good Samaritans are on Molokai
O
ne Monday,
March 29, I
was headed
to town and saw a
kitty cat in the road
had been run over.
On passing I could
see that kitty was
still alive, bleeding
but breathing. My heart jumped to my
throat. I turned around, stopped, got
out into the middle of the road (Kamehameha V Hwy and First Heights)
and stopped traffic. I really had no idea
what my next move would be. A pickup truck, golden tan in color stopped
about a block up the road. Out of that
pickup truck came a young local man
over to where I was standing over the
poor cat. I was babbling something and
he just picked up the cat and moved the
poor thing to the side of the road. By
now the 10 or more cars stopped could
pass. No one honked or showed impatience with me.Yay Molokai people!
I don’t know how long I might
have stood there had this nice man not
come along. Another person was also
in the truck so that means two people
came to my rescue that day. You in the
truck, thank you for waiting. Then the
nice man said “this one’s a goner” and
I said “I can’t really tell if this is my cat
or not”. Then the nice man changed his
story and said “this looks like a pretty
healthy cat, it might make it.” What a
sweet man. He didn’t want me to have
a break down right there if it was my
cat. It wasn’t my cat. He then put kitty
in the trunk of my car for me, I thanked
him and said God Bless you and he was
gone. Forgot to ask his name. Thank
you again mystery man for stopping
and helping me.
First I stopped at the police station
to see if Richard was there and found
out that he was in the Hoolehua area so
we called the Molokai Humane Society
and found out that they were open with
a vet on duty. The poor kitty really was
badly injured beyond saving. At least
the poor thing did not have to lie in the
road in the hot sun, maybe get run over
again, and suffer until the end, however long that may have taken. Please,
I beg you, if you hit an animal and you
don’t want to stop just call the police
department and they will send our
wonderful animal control person Richard to deal with the poor thing. Again
thank you to the Good Samaritan who
stopped to help me and thank you to
Molokai Humane Society.
