This is a crazy story of how a man spent his life working on gathering and
writing down information on plants, and almost lost it all. But human
resilience prevailed at the end—it just took 400 years for it to happen.
I always thought Stevie Wonder’s song The Secret Life of Plants gets it
perfectly right:
“If you ask yourself where would you be, without them you will find
you would not.”
Last month, I spent a full day at the National Tropical Botanical Garden
headquarters. Being a bookworm, I was thrilled when Chipper Wichman
showed me their library, with a collection so valuable no money in the
world could buy.
Editor’s Note
I held a book printed in 1512—and yes, I properly cleaned my hands
prior to holding it. It was one of the first books to ever be printed, besides
the Bible. Written in Medieval Italian, it contained information on herbs
to be used as medicine.
A second book on herbs, printed in Latin 20 years later, was a lot larger
and had better pictures.
But their most important book went through an incredible chain of
events, taking a century to be published and another three centuries to
be translated.
In the 1600s, a German man spent 30 years writing a 5,000-page book on the plants of Indonesia,
which was known as the Spice Islands back in the
day.
Indonesia was controlled by the Dutch, who recognized the importance of the work. The completed
book was sent by ship to Holland, but somewhere
along the trip, the French sunk the ship. And the only
copy of the book went to the bottom of the sea.

NTBG: Half Century of Saving the Planet
by Léo Azambuja
Fifty years ago, a Congressional Charter created one of the most
important tropical botanical gardens in the planet—and the
only national tropical garden in the United States.
“We’ve gone from being a dream in some people’s minds to
actually being on the ground and really having an impact,” National Tropical Botanical Garden CEO Chipper Wichman said.
Since the 1964 Congressional Charter, more than 100 new
species of plants have been discovered, classified and preserved
through conservation programs. Countless other species have
been safeguarded against extinction through a seed-freezing
program.
McBryde Garden, NTBG’s first property, started in 1970 on
a 171-acre site in Lawa‘i. It sits right below the nonprofit’s national headquarters.
Over the course of several decades, NTBG grew to comprise
five gardens—including McBryde, Allerton and Limahuli on
Kaua‘i, one on Maui and another in Florida—and five preserves,
for a total of 10 properties occupying 2,000 acres.
Despite being created by Congress, the nonprofit NTBG is not
part of the federal government. All its properties were gifts—
with the exception of Allerton, which they only manage—and
they have thrived mainly because of private donations amounting to more than $200 million.
“That’s what our founders wanted, they did not want to
be funded by the government,” Wichman said. “Once you are
funded by the federal government, that comes with all kinds
of strings … Everything we have accomplished has been done
with private, individual, philanthropic support.”
Today, NTBG probably has the world’s largest collection of
Page 6
federally endangered plants, according to Wichman. In McBryde
alone, there are probably more endangered species per square
foot than in any other place in the planet, he said.
A horticulturist, Wichman joined the organization 38 years
ago, encouraged by his late grandmother, Juliet Rice Wichman. Limahuli Garden on Kaua‘i’s North Shore was a gift from
the Wichman family to NTBG in 1974. Sitting on 1,000 acres,
Limahuli is full of archaeological sites and a perfect counterpart
environment for the drier McBryde Garden.
Behind NTBG’s headquarters in Lawa‘i, a building named after
Wichman’s grandmother holds thousands of files of dehydrated
plants, including many that have already been extinct. Some of
those plants have been discovered and classified by Wichman
himself, who says every time a plant goes extinct, it feels like
losing a family member.
The Juliet Rice Wichman building also holds the key to many
endangered species. The freezers inside the temperaturecontrolled building house thousands of seeds that could be
germinated in case of need. After all, out of about 1,300 Native
Hawaiian plant species; roughly 700 are in some level of federal
protection, according to Wichman.
Inside that building, “a box within a box within a box” houses
a priceless collection. This “box” is a large library surrounded
by thick glass walls, containing original botanical books that
go back centuries. In case of a fire, gas comes out of special fire
nozzles at 3,000 psi to completely evacuate the oxygen out of
the room within a few seconds.
“We have the best collection of books on tropical agriculture
and botany in the world,” said Wichman, pointing to a book on
Allerton Garden, clockwise from left; the Mermaid Room, tour guide Star Gampon by Jurassic Park’s fig
trees, a statue at the Thanksgiving Room, and the Three Pools room.
NTBG CEO Chipper Wichman holds a sample of a plant
species he discovered and saw go into extinction years later.
herbal medicine printed in 1512, written in Medieval Italian,
covered by pig skin and printed in linen rag paper. “No amount
of money in the world could buy all the books that are in here.”
Besides being substantial partners in cataloguing the flora of
the Hawaiian Islands, NTBG works throughout the Pacific.
Next year, they are scheduled to publish a book on the flora of
the Marquesas Islands, where historians believe the first Hawaiians came from.
Then in 2016, NTBG is looking into finishing a project that has
spanned for three decades, the flora of Samoa.
Recently, NTBG inaugurated its Biodiversity Trail, a walking
path taking people back to 450 million years ago. As the path
progresses chronologically, each portion is illustrated by corresponding flora.
The trail is just another step in a journey NTBG has intensified lately to bring more people into the garden and help it to
become a powerful place to inspire conservation.
But NTBG’s programs go beyond conservation. They are impacting people’s lives, such as the Breadfruit Institute, based on
Maui.
“We actually have breadfruit growing in 30 countries around
the world in order to address food security and global hunger,”
Wichman said.
Without NTBG, he said, many plants wouldn’t have been discovered, and there would've been a void in the world in terms of
knowledge and benefits of these plants.
He said working there all those years, being able to spend
his life doing something that is really meaningful, has given
him the most incredible life. And much of it was thanks to his
grandmother, who was “fantastic with plants” and pushed him
to apply for a job at NTBG in 1976.
“I feel like when I’m gone, I will have left the island and the
world in a better place because of the what I’ve done with my
life—that, to me, makes your life worthwhile,” Wichman said.

Champagne Brunch at St. Regis
by Anni Caporuscio
Makana Terrace’s Sunday Champagne Brunch at the St. Regis Princeville is a luxurious experience.
After acquainting ourselves with the unparalleled views of Hanalei Bay and sipping Kona coffee,
tropical mimosas and St. Regis Kaua‘i’s signature Aloha Mary, we enjoyed a world-class spread of
the finest dishes.
Hawaiian Pineapple and Chili Pepper Soup. Vegetable Wellington. Steamed Bao Buns with
Char Siu Pork. A Fresh Sushi Station. A Vegetable Display. Grilled
Hawaiian Seabass with Mango and Maui Gold Pineapple Salsa.
Shall I go on?
The Omelet Station. The Waffle Station. A station for the keiki. A selection of pastries so
beautiful they are themselves art pieces.
Chef Desplechin and Chef Brinson do a major change up of the Sunday Brunch once a quarter
to freshen it up according to the seasons. The brunch is trending towards becoming not only a
tourist treat, but for locals as well, and the change up gives us something new to anticipate each
season. This includes updating the dishes to local seasonal offerings, as well as changing the
displays and design of the presentation.
The brunch is only on Sundays, from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Local residents enjoy a 20 percent
kama‘aina discount.

Healing Kaua‘i One Crystal at a Time
by Léo Azambuja
Coming from a family of doctors, it was only natural for Tanize
Weck Kotsol to become one. But after a few years working
as a psychiatrist, a chain of events led her career to a more
enlightened path.
Today, Tanize owns what she jokingly calls “my own crystal
palace.” Her Hanalei store, Crystals &
Gems Gallery, opened in 2001 offering
more than 100 different types of stones,
including the rare Kaua‘i calcite found on
the island’s South Shore.
But what is really special about
Tanize’s store—and what makes it a
point of reference in Hawai‘i—is not
just the incredible variety of stones in all shapes, sizes and
colors, most of them handpicked from multiple trips around
the world.
It’s how Tanize uses the crystals to heal.
“It’s really spreading light one crystal at a time,” she said.
Tanize got her medical license in the south of Brazil, specializing in psychiatry. In the early 90s, she visited Kaua‘i a few
times and fell in love with the island.
Soon, she would move here and land a job as a psychiatrist
assistant in Lihu‘e, helping people who suffered from substance
abuse. Then, she took up studying to obtain a Hawai‘i psychiatrist license. In order to support herself, she sold crystals on the
side.
As her business grew, she found herself taking classes, traveling abroad to acquire more crystals and to other islands to
sell them. The workload became too much, so she took a “little
break” from her studies to take care of the business.

The more she learned about crystals, the more she changed her mind
about conventional treatment.
If someone told her back in the day,
about crystal resonance—which is
what she does today—she would’ve
tossed the idea out the window. But
after learning more and using crystals
during therapy sessions, she was
amazed to see how people would
open up faster and she would reach
results a lot easier.
“I was always interested more

next to your body, the atoms in your body try to resonate the
energy of the crystal,” said Tanize, explaining how crystal
resonance works.
And it’s the energy her store emanates that might explain
why so many people stumble there for no apparent reason.
She said it’s common for visitors to tell her they felt compelled
to turn right on Aku Road from Kuhio Highway, only to come
across her store and realize why they took an unplanned
detour.
And they always leave with a smile on their faces.
“Every time someone comes here and leaves with a crystal, I
know that will make a difference in that person’s life someway,
and it’s going all around the planet,” Tanize said. “I think in the
end, I reach more people than if I was just a regular doctor.”
Crystals and Gems is open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 4489
Aku Road. Besides stones and healing sessions, the store also
offers healing classes, esoteric items, jewelry, books, tarot cards
and original artwork—including Tanize’s own paintings.

Kaua‘i’s Westside Beaches Need Your Help
by Ruby Pap
Do you ever wonder why the beaches change so dramatically from
season to season? Or lament, “Is the beach ever coming back, ‘cause
it’s never been like this before?”
Are you secretly a big science nerd and want to learn a cool beach
surveying and analysis technique that uses scientific reasoning to
tackle these questions? Do you have time in your life to take on a
meaningful project that will contribute to appropriate coastal planning and increased community resilience to hazards?
This might be the perfect volunteer opportunity for you.
Last April, I reported on a beach monitoring effort that is underway
on the Westside with geologist Chuck Blay and researchers and students from Kaua‘i Community College, documenting short term seasonal beach changes in Kekaha and Waimea. This is a highly dynamic
shoreline environment that has seen major seasonal changes in beach
width over a matter of days.
For example, in one season the beach in front of MacArthur Park diminished by 215 feet, only to return the following winter as longshore
sediment transport brought the sand back from Major’s Bay.
This event had major implications for the protection of Kaumuali‘i
Highway and resulted in the construction of a 300 foot drilled shaft
pier wall. How might the emergency response have been different if
documented scientific seasonal shoreline change data existed?
Researchers are hoping that the consistent collection of seasonal
beach profile data, along with strong community participation, will
serve to help inform emergency response efforts and long term coastal planning for the island.
The USGS National Assessment of Shoreline Change on the Hawaiian Islands has found that 71 percent of Kaua‘i’s beaches are eroding.
We now have calculated long-term erosion rates for practically every
sandy beach area on the island. This data is used by the County of
Kaua‘i to establish shoreline setback requirements for development,
to ensure that it is safe from hazards and natural resources are protected.
The gathering of short-term, seasonal beach erosion data, like the
KCC effort described above, is a necessary step to further refine our
knowledge and coastal management practices, because the shortterm data can pick up the finer intricacies that the long term rates do
not necessarily detect.
Recently, the team received funding from KCC to continue and expand its effort to the wider community (yay, KCC!). It’s my task to recruit interested, committed community members to help out. If that
is to happen, it needs to be a community effort—ideally a cadre of
trained, scientifically literate citizens in coastal processes and monitoring techniques.
Also, you must be ready to have FUN! The surveys occur 1-2 times/
month, and it is truly a fantastic crew to learn from and hang out with,
including Geologist Dr. Chuck Blay, Dr. Stephen Taylor, Oceanographer
from KCC, Jana Rothenberg, videographer extraordinaire, Dennis
Jana Rothenberg
Stephen Taylor, left, Ruby Pap and Chuck Blay survey a
Westside beach.
Rowley and Matt Diefendorf from the Pacific Missile Range Facility,
motivated KCC students, and last, but not least—me!
Call 241-4183 or email me at [email protected] if you have any interest, and I will be happy to answer all your questions.
See ya on da beach!

What is Cancer?
The body is made up of various kinds of cells, which normally divide in an
orderly way to produce more cells only when they are needed. Cancer is a
group of diseases — more than 100 types — that occur when cells become
abnormal and divide without control or order.
What are the Signs and Symptoms of Breast Cancer?
Early breast cancer usually does not cause pain and may cause no symptoms
at all. And, some breast cancers never cause symptoms or other signs of a
problem until they have gotten quite large and are more likely to have spread.
The following are the most common symptoms of breast cancer:
• A lump or thickening (a mass, swelling, skin irritation or distortion) in or
near the breast or in the underarm area
• A change in the size or shape of the breast
• A change in the color or feel of the skin of the breast, areola, or nipple
(dimpled, puckered, red, swollen, or scaly)
• Nipple discharge, erosion, inversion, or tenderness
Contact us today
to schedule your
next mammogram:
A woman (or man) should see a doctor as soon as possible if any of these
changes are noticed.

What are Common Risk Factors for Breast Cancer?
Anyone may develop breast cancer. However, the most frequently cited
lifestyle-related risk factors in women include:
•
•
•
•
•
Not having children, or having your first child after age 30
Recent use (within 10 years) of oral contraceptives
Physical inactivity
Alcohol use (more than 1 drink per day)
Weight gain and obesity, especially after menopause
Knowing your risk factors for any disease can help guide you into the
appropriate actions, including changing behaviors and being clinically
monitored for the disease.
Breast Cancer Facts
Consider the following statistics related to breast cancer:
• Breast cancer occurs nearly 100 times more often in women than in men
• Two out of 3 women with invasive cancer are diagnosed after age 55
• Having a close relative, such as a mother or sister, with breast cancer
increases the risk
• Women whose periods began early in life (before age 12) have a slightly
higher risk of breast cancer
• Women are at a slightly higher risk if they began menopause later in life
(after age 55)
1. Cut down or quit
drinking alcohol.
2. Manage your weight.
3. Eat foods that can counter
the effects of estrogen.
4. Talk with your doctor
about screenings.
5. Consider drug therapy
if your breast cancer risk
is very high.

10 Things That Happen When You Love Your Body
FIT
Page 14
by Tommy Noyes
Jessie Castro
by Samantha Fox Olson
Have you ever been so fully present with your breath and your
body, completely free of judgment or agenda, and experienced
the orgasmic deliciousness of having a body?
It’s pretty amazing how extraordinary simple things like the
rhythm of the breath or the caress of a light touch on the skin
can truly be when we allow our bodies to be the miraculous vessels of love they truly are. When we let go of judgment and selfridicule, OMG even breathing feels amazing!
Now, it’s not like on a permanent “I am experiencing my body
as a walking, talking, breathing orgasm.” But, those moments
of joy and truth are more available to me than ever before. And
they are available to you too!
You see, I used to beat myself up. You may understand what I
mean. Disrespectful self-talk, lack of consistent encouragement,
I’d look in the mirror and only see faults, sized myself up to all
the other ladies in the room, and somehow just never measured
up.
There does come a time where enough is enough. And thank
God I had that realization with
my bulimia, drinking and
drugging habits and other silly
ways of just being mean to my body.
Because what if the truth of the matter is, we really do have
a choice. Being mean to our bodies is a choice just as loving ourselves extravagantly is a choice. And if it boils down to a choice,
what do you choose?
Caution: you may experience similar side effects when you
choose to love your body too:
1. You stop looking for your faults when you look into the mirror. Instead, you gaze into your eyes and smile with admiration
and appreciation. And then you may even swing that backside
around and wiggle it playfully a bit too, only to find yourself enjoying the gift of your human form.
2. You stop checking out of your body. You bring your spirit
into your body and you pay attention to your body. This presence
is attractive and magnetizing.
3. You stop blaming your body for the difficulties or challenges you are facing. And instead you know your body is the
greatest, most loyal friend you will ever have. When it hurts,
you listen and are guided towards freedom. When it is heavy,
you ask questions and feel into the clues that bring you towards
lightness.
4. You feel more orgasmic. Even breathing can feel absolutely
ecstatic. Oh, the deliciousness of having a body!
5. The voice of ego takes the background and the voice of your
spirit takes the foreground. Your days are full of expanding encouragement, which invites your body to explore new possibilities.
6. You trust your body. You realize your body never, not even
once, abandoned you. Indeed, it has only been reflecting back
National Make A Difference Day
in Lydgate Park
to you areas where you can bring yourself home to even greater
freedom and love.
7. You become are a nicer more joyful person. Someone you
want to hang out with. You see, when the inner dialogue is defeating and degrading to our bodies, well, we feel like crap. And
that crappy feeling leads to a grumpier human being.
8. You realize that self-care and self-love is not something
that you do once a day. You know, when you roll out your yoga
mat or eat a salad. Instead, you realize that self-care is a privilege that happens 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
9. You stop wishing for a new body. You stop wishing you had
someone else’s body. And instead, you find yourself in awe and
amazement at how truly unique and magnificent your body is
right now! And even in training your body to be as beautiful or
agile as it desires to show up, you give it the time and the consistent attention lovingly so it may be so.
10. You change the planet. Yep! You literally become the light
that brings playfulness, joy, appreciation, gratitude and love to
our entire universe! You and your body are that magnificent!
Thank you for loving you and your miraculous body.

You are invited to join the Friends of Kamalani and Lydgate Park
in celebrating National Make A Difference Day in Lydgate Park.
Save Saturday morning, Oct. 25 to participate locally in this nationwide day of volunteerism.
This is a major community workday featuring free lunch. Annually,
over the past nine years, hundreds of Kaua‘i residents and visitors
have helped to spruce up Lydgate Park on Make A Difference Day. This year, volunteers are asked to sign-in at 7:30 a.m. in the Main
Pavilion at Lydgate Park, and to bring their own reusable water
bottle to minimize plastic waste.
The Friends will serve chilled drinking water throughout the workday and then provide lunch to the volunteers. Full details including a
registration form for this volunteer workday are at www.kamalani.
org.
A clean and attractive park is a source of pride for all of us. The
Friends of Kamalani and Lydgate Park coordinate events enabling us
to work together, making our island’s most frequently visited beach
park pleasant and refreshing for park users of all ages and abilities.
People who help on Friends of Kamalani and Lydgate Park workdays
are building connectedness within our community—and that is very
gratifying.
The scope of work this year includes applying non-toxic linseed
oil sealer to the Kamalani Playground, beach grooming, Malama Hikina‘akala and Hauola Heiau, developing an inventory of the
trees in the park, and park beautification.
Volunteers should wear work clothes, sun protection, and closed
toe shoes. Ladders 6 feet or taller will be very helpful in applysee Difference page 32

justifications for not voting… And they
are all true So, why vote?
“I forgot to register.”
Because your voice, and the voice of
your friends and ‘ohana, are important.
We are family, and like a family,
everyone needs to be heard. You are
no less important as a voter than the
Governor or even the President.
“I don’t know where my polling
place is.”
“It’s just too much trouble.”
“I have to work.”

YoUr VoTe CouNts!
Yes, voting can be a burden, especially
as busy as we all are these days, but
some things are so important they
can’t be missed. Have you ever looked
around our island and said to yourself, “I
wish that wasn’t there, I wish someone
would clean this up, I wish we had more
of that”? Voting is the answer. By voting,
you make a difference in your everyday
life, for yourself and your family. By
encouraging others to vote, you can
make even more of a difference, and
have a real impact on making the world
a better place.
We see throughout the country
communities suffering because their
elected leaders are not representing
the true will of the people, and in each
case, the voter turnout was low. There
are real consequences to not voting.
Vote
On Kaua‘i, because we are a small
community, your vote counts even
more.
Every election matters, every vote
matters. By voting, you are directly
affecting the future.
Voting only takes a few hours a year,
and for those few hours, you can
see benefits every day. It is a small
investment that reaps great rewards.

Allerton Beach is one of the hidden gems of Kaua‘i. The magnificent and meticulously kept gardens that lead to it, Allerton and
McBryde, were once named by National Geographical Traveller as one the world’s “50 Places of a Lifetime.” The beach is accessible
through a side trail, through the ocean or through the gardens, which is private property.

Kauai Community Market Celebrates 5th Anniversary
In October of 2009, Kaua’i County Farm Bureau and
Kaua’i Community College (KCC) partnered to open
a new weekend value added farmers market –
Kaua’i Community Market, on the KCC campus. The
new Market was envisioned as a central gathering place
for neighbors to shop for food and garden plants, to enjoy
delicious local foods and “talk story”, to learn more ways
to cook and raise local ingredients, and to connect directly
with farmers from around the island on a regular basis. It
opened with just under 20 vendors.
The market soon gained a reputation as an incubator,
a place to discover new products. It was one of the first
centrally located markets to provide a venue for valueadded products created from local farm raised ingredients,
prepared snacks and plate lunches alongside the farmers
and the fresh ingredients that inspired them. Five years later, the market has grown to a collection
of nearly 40 vendors, both regular and seasonal, KCC
Aquaponics classes sharing information and selling their
weekly harvest, new events such as the Kauai Grown/
Kauai Made Holiday Celebration, and a loyal following
of regular customers who rely on the market for weekly
purchases of produce and culinary ingredients. It has also
attracted visitors interested to meet farmers, sample local
delicacies and shop for gifts to take home.
“What makes this market unique is that it brings all the
pieces together, from seed to table, to support buying and
eating local,” said KCC Chancellor, Dr. Helen Cox. “This is
one of the many ways we can embrace sustainability as a
community, and we’re proud to be a part of its success.
Guests are invited to celebrate with market vendors,
Kauai County Farm Bureau and Kauai Community College
at a special fifth anniversary celebration on Saturday,
October 25th. “We want to let the public know and show
them our appreciation for their support during the past
five years,” said Kauai County Farm Bureau President
Laurie Ho, “and what a big difference this Market has
made for our farmers and small businesses.”
Kauai Community Market takes place Saturdays from
9:30am to 1:00pm weekly on the KCC campus. For more
information, please visit kauaicommunitymarket.org or

Coming to Our Senses
by Virginia Beck
What I love about Kaua‘i is how abundantly alive
and present nature is here. With unlimited ocean
horizons, rainbows and glowing green hillsides,
Kaua‘i has a way of waking your senses to the intensity of being completely alive and free, joyful.
Uncaged and unlimited in many places, Kaua‘i’s
exuberant, lush foliage reminds us that much of our
own natural vitality also awaits to be explored. Our
strength and power slumbers, untouched by everyday life, waiting for us to awaken and make use of
it.
Kaua‘i invites us through the fragrances of leaf
and flowering plants, gentle laua’e fern or sweet
tuberose and gardenia, through the light dancing
on hillsides, dragging cloud shadows that invite us
on excursions into the mountains, meadows and
Waimea Canyon, or the trails of the Na Pali valleys
and cliffs.
Waves crash into the beaches, lap against the
rocks or the sides of kayaks. Who can resist the refreshing, clear waters?
In movement and in action, we are helping to
maintain and restore our bodies. The flow of blood
through our muscles helps them grow and cleanses
them. Movement lubricates our joints, stretches
soft tissues, increases flexibility and makes our
bones stronger. It wakes us up. Our senses are the
keys to our wellness.
Movement gives us our sense of who—and
where—we are. The feelings we have are the results of the kinds of activities we choose. A sluggish,
sedentary body just isn’t comfortable, so we numb
ourselves to our own sensitivity. We lose awareness
of our posture, our breathing, our feelings. We
develop an unnatural lack of feeling energetic and
aware, which makes it hard to change our habits.
We weren’t born with the desire to be overweight, out of shape and feeling a little grouchy
about it. We learn by habitual ways and patterns,
tiny habits repeated over and over again.
But if we learned one thing, we can learn another.
Babies learn to trust their bodies by playing,
moving and experimenting with new movements.
We too can learn to try new things, especially with
the many invitations that Kaua‘i offers. Try something different, whether it is the zip lines, standup
paddling, hiking, snorkeling or visiting our many
wonderful gardens and beaches.
If you don’t like how you feel, change it! Get
moving! Even the shortest walk gets your heart
pumping, and flushes your brain with self-healing
hormones that will make you feel better. Take
some deep breaths and feel how your ribs expand
to bring more life into you, refreshing your brain
and releasing tension. The simple movements of
breathing raise your shoulders and massage your
neck and heart.
Focus on how many sounds you can hear during
breathing: your own pulse, inner movements, outer
sounds, birds and breezes. Notice your attention
sharpening your own mental function.
When we are fully present to how we feel, we
see our emotions arising and passing, changing
like the clouds running before the sun. After deep
breathing or exercise, we feel calmer and more
peaceful. It steadies our heartbeat and relaxes our
blood pressure. Feel your shoulder blades pressing
in behind your heart, offering you support and relaxing your shoulders.
Look for activities where you can gradually increase your time and effort without injury. Respect
and honor the one precious body you have today.
It has managed, despite everything, to bring you
here. You are a success by virtue of being alive. Congratulations on being one of 10 billion humans who
have ever lived on this planet!

The German went back
to work, but soon went
completely blind. So for the
next 15 years, he dictated an
entire new book to his son,
who was half-Indonesian,
and wrote the whole thing in
a pidgin language.
Once it was finished, the
Dutch decided not to publish
it to prevent such valuable
information to fall into the
hands of the French. So the
German died without his
book ever being published.
In the 1700s, the East Indies Company finally allowed
it to be printed, but with two
columns, one in Latin and
another in its original pidgin
language. The Latin described
the plants and the creole
language added their useful
properties.
Well, that pidgin language
changed over the last 400
years, and no one was able to
figure out what in the world
was written there.
In the 1990s, NTBG did a
global search and found one
person with the literary skills
to translate the book. He was
a professor of Germanic languages at a Boston university.
There were six volumes,
and Chipper said they
thought the man could do
one each year. However, halfway through the first volume,
the translator was diagnosed
with terminal cancer.
The old man refused to die,
and worked on the translation for 10 years. Forget computers, everything he typed
Ike & Nancy Muraoka
Ike and Nancy Muraoka are from
Kauaì and lived in their home in
Koloa for over 50 years. Ike is a retired
CFO of Big Save, Inc., and Nancy was
Administrative Office Manager for the
original Waiohai Hotel in Poipu.
Together they moved to Regency at
Puakea almost a year ago. What they
both like most about Regency is the
warm & loving staff. Also the facilities
are excellent and the daily activities
are well rounded and very organized.

was on a manual typewriter.
When it was all done, the
boxes of translated material
could fill the back of an SUV.
NTBG took everything to
Yale University, so they would
co-publish it.
The senior editor of science
at Yale took almost nine
months to finish the project.
At the end, she said it was
probably the most important
botanical publication published in the last 100 years.
It has only been a few
years, but Chipper told me the
Mayo Clinic—the first and
largest integrated nonprofit
medical group practice in the
world—has already new
medicines as a result of this
publication.
And to think it was almost
all lost, not once or twice, but
four times, is incredible.

The Beauty of the Breadfruit
by Jan TenBruggencate
There are a few plants that evoke the tropics, plain and simple.
The coconut, of course. And blossoms like the fragrant white
Tahitian gardenia.
And breadfruit, the ‘ulu.
What a plant.
Set aside the fruit for a moment.
‘Ulu bleeds white, a latex sap that was used for caulking
canoes by the Polynesians. The sap could also be used as a glue.
The diluted sap, the juice from crushed flowers and crushed
roots, the bark and other parts were used in Polynesia to treat a
range of medical ailments.
Its light wood was
used to carve fishing
canoes and surfboards. It
is a soft wood,
easy to carve.
In some
parts of the
South Pacific,
‘ulu’s inner bark was pounded to make a variety of tapa cloth.
Its hairy leaves and flower sheaths were used as a fine
sandpaper.
The dried male flowers can be burned like a mosquito punk
to repel insects.
The ‘ulu, with its shiny green leaves, and their deep lobes
shape, is a gorgeous tree. It seems to grow well in sandy soil
and in deep valley earth, although it prefers well-drained
soils. It can grow to be one of the biggest trees in the Hawaiian
landscape.
And then there is the fruit. It is a fruit that so impressed
early Europeans that the British brought it to the Caribbean. If
you remember the story of the Mutiny on the Bounty, Captain
Bligh’s mission on that voyage was to collect breadfruit
saplings from Tahiti and deliver them to the West Indies. He
failed on the 1787 trip, when his crew mutinied, but succeeded
on a subsequent voyage.
He needed to collect saplings rather than seeds because
one of the most prized forms of Tahitian breadfruit, like the
Hawaiian breadfruit, does not produce seed. Its comparatively
massive fruit is almost entirely fleshy and edible.
Young breadfruit are boiled or steamed and can be eaten
as a salad item, very like artichoke hearts. Older breadfruit
can be baked and eaten like potatoes. They can be cut up and
fried, either like hashed browns or potato chips. Or mashed and
mixed into casseroles. Or used in any number of other ways.
And while individual breadfruits produce fruit seasonally,
there are many varieties that flower and fruit at different times,
so it is technically possible to have breadfruit year-round if
you’re in tropical or subtropical climates.
And some varieties do have edible seeds. They can be seeds
as big as chestnuts.
The world’s largest collection of breadfruit varieties has been
assembled by Diane Ragone of the National Tropical Botanical
Garden. She has well north of 100 varieites, most of them
growing at the garden’s Kahanu Garden on Maui, but some also
at the McBryde Garden on Kaua‘i.
Breadfruit are among the canoe plants—the plants that
Polynesian voyagers brought with them to nearly every
island they populated. And it makes perfect sense. Ragone is
now trying to reintroduce them to the world as an answer to
hunger.

Airline Captain Knew Kaua‘i Was Home the First Time She Saw the Island
by Pam Brown
The first time U.S. Airways pilot Linda Christopherson saw
Kaua‘i, her life changed. As the plane she was flying broke
through the clouds at 1,000 feet, “I knew in an instant that this
is where I was supposed to be.”
A pilot since 1986, Linda has flown and landed planes
throughout the United States including O‘ahu, Maui and the Big
Island of Hawai‘i, Canada and Mexico, so she was surprised by
her reaction. She was even more amazed by the goose bumps
that kept appearing on her arms all day long that first day on
Kaua‘i.
Five years later, Kaua‘i is the only place Linda will fly, normally making the trip six times per month from U.S. Airways’
headquarters in Phoenix, Ariz.
“If I do get assigned to fly to another island, I ask the pilot
assigned to Kaua‘i to switch with me,” she says. “Sometimes I
have to sweeten the pot a little so I’ll let them borrow my truck
next time they come to Kaua‘i.”
Yes, she has her own truck on Kaua‘i, recently brought her
own bicycle over from Arizona and has golf and dinner dates
every time she touches down on the Garden Island. She even
has a Hawaiian drivers license.
Youngest Female Captain
Linda took her first flying lesson in 1980 when she was 20
years old. A skydiver, she learned how to fly the jump plane,
“because the jump plane pilot is everyone’s hero. I thought it
would be cool.” But soon she was drawn to larger planes.
Hired by Frontier Airlines in 1986 at the age of 26, she helped
Remember Your First Pizza?
by Richard E. Peck
It happened on a Sunday night in the USMC barracks at the Naval Air
Station, Jacksonville. Three other PFCs swung by my bunk to ask if I
wanted to go with them “for pizza.”
“Sure,” I said. Only problem? I had no idea what ”pizza” was. It
was as unfamiliar as sushi or loco moco.
Today, menus have gone international. My father once rejected
the idea of tasting a taco. He said, “You think anyone in Wisconsin
wants a Mexican sandwich?”
A New York friend asked a Cleveland deli owner for a bagel. “You
mean those tough-bread doughnuts?”
Today you can buy chop suey—an imitation-Chinese, American
creation—anywhere from Toledo to Hong Kong. Salmon in Kansas.
Grits in Seattle. Lilikoi Pie in Dallas. Possum in Alabama (skip that
one). And the universal nutrient, sold everywhere worldwide today,
pole to pole, on land and sea, is (ta-dah!) pizza.
Kids who live on the stuff won’t believe me, but I’d never heard
of pizza until that night in Jacksonville. It was still ethnic, hidden in
closed Italian neighborhoods scattered across America.
But, no point in spending a Sunday night in the empty barracks, so
I went along. I was 18. My first pizza — whatever that was.
Try to remember your innocence before you first tasted exotic
to make history. On her first official flight after completing
her training, she was shocked to find herself co-piloting under
Emily Howell Warner – the first woman ever hired as a pilot by
a United States airline – and Linda’s idol.
Emily instructed Linda to be the pilot on the return trip.
Taking a deep breath, Linda took control of the Boeing 737 and
began flying it back to Denver. As the plane got up to altitude,
Emily said she was going to make an announcement to the
passengers and that Linda needed to listen to it.
“Emily says, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve reached our cruising altitude of 35,000 feet. I’m turning off the seat belt sign.
We’re making history today. Today is the first time there has
ever been an all-female flight crew.’ ” Both pilots and all three
flight attendants were women.
Three years later, at the age of 29, while flying for America
West Airlines, Linda became the youngest female captain for
a major U.S. airline. “But I’m sure some sweet young thing has
probably beaten that by now,” she says laughing.
In 2010, she captained her own all-female flight crew to
Kaua‘i. “As soon as we landed we all went out to celebrate at
the hotel where we stay on Kaua‘i, had a barbecue and made
s’mores!”
Captain Linda enjoys sharing her love of flying with students
at career days and as a guest speaker in classrooms, appearing
in uniform and inspiring children with stories of her life as a
pilot. She even built a flight simulator for elementary schoolage kids that they can sit in and pretend to push buttons.
“I talk to them about staying off drugs, staying in school,
foods. Maybe it was goulash, or sushi, or ouzo, or “blackened” fish,
the con that Chef Paul perpetrated on gullible New Orleans visitors in
order to peddle the dish he accidentally burned. Remember believing
in the tooth fairy? Or assuming that to be an American Idol you had
to be able to carry a tune? It was a simpler time.
We went to Pasquale’s—none of us able to pronounce the name
of the place. The other three were all 19, more sophisticated than I.
“How d’you want yours?” one of them asked.
Trouble right off the bat. “Just regular.”
“You want anchovies, or not?”
“Sure,” I said. Anchovies. Now we were two words into a foreign
language maze. Pizza wasn’t confusing enough. What were anchovies?
We sat at a checked tablecloth covering a wobbly table with one
short leg. The wicker-wrapped bottle on the table held the unlit stub
of a candle. The other three ordered beer. I said, “Coke.” The waitress
said “Uh-huh” and brought us four Cokes.
Eventually she brought in a huge tin tray carrying the pizza. Clear
your mind. You’ve seen pizza too often to understand my bewilderment that Sunday night. But try.
The mystery the waitress plopped down in front of me was round,
and flat, and runny, mostly red, probably raw, and looked like it had
been dropped and run over by a truck. A tray of curdled tomato soup.
Nobody in his right mind would eat that thing!
U.S. Airways captain Linda Christopherson, in her ‘office,’
plans to make Kaua‘i her home one day. Five years after first
landing on the Garden Isle, the only route she will now fly is
from Phoenix to Kaua‘i.
that your parents are your first sponsor in life and to treat them
well,” she says.
But most of all, she enjoys every moment of her life while
fondly envisioning the day when she will make Kaua‘i her
permanent home.
Linda even consulted a Feng Shui expert in Arizona about
how to create the life she desires. The expert recommended
that she place a “nice, loving, warm book” on her Phoenix
bedroom nightstand. Linda chose the book “Kaua‘i Stories.”
“If I lived here,” she says of Kaua‘i, “I would be truly home.”
• Pamela Varma Brown is the publisher of Kaua‘i Stories, and the
forthcoming Kaua‘i Stories 2.
Then the light came on. Pizza must be Italian for snipe hunt! If I
bit into it, the three others would start laughing. Maybe I could use a
straw and drink some. I waited to take a cue from them, but nobody
cracked a smile.
The pizza sat there, four of them on the table. Still red. Still runny.
A bubbling swamp of cheese dotted with fish-bits.
And then, you’d never guess: the other three, ignoring the knives
and forks and the watching crowd… picked up a wedge of pizza in
both hands and bit off the point!
It’s true! They ate with their hands!
Okay. So did I. It was soupy and hot and sloppy and spicy. It
dripped and drizzled. Tomato sauce burned my chin. Cheese slid off
into my lap, still tied to the crust by long, swaying strings of mozzarella—another foreign word!
If my dad thought Mexican sandwiches were strange, I couldn’t
wait to tell him about pizza. Italian pancakes smeared with cheese
and ketchup!
