A
cross Hawaii, tensions are rising as the federal Department
of Interior (DOI) proposes establishing a Native Hawaiian government. Last Saturday, Molokai residents
joined in the widespread opposition.
The slick floor of Kaunakakai Elementary School cafeteria was strewn with
symbolic red ribbons, also pinned to
the shirts and blouses of dozens of
community members to show their
disapproval.
Attendees expressed anger and
mistrust with the U.S. government
on whether and how the process of
reestablishing a government-to-government relationship between the
U.S. and the Native Hawaiian community should proceed.
Former U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka
pushed for federal recognition in
Congress for more than a decade,
and many Native Hawaiians have
urged for such status to protect locally established rights. In response,
the Department is hosting 15 public
hearings throughout the state. According to the DOI, federal recognition would include Native Hawaiians amid the more than 560 tribes
holding this status, and could lead
to being recognized similarly to an
American Indian tribe.
But many Native Hawaiians
across the state have offered resounding opposition. Hawaii is a sovereign
kingdom, they say, not a tribe.
“I know I am a Hawaiian national,” said testified Byron Espaniola of Maunaloa “I stand for independence. I stand for the continuing
of our kingdom. I stand against the
prolonged occupation by a belligerent, terrible, awful country.”
In passionate testimony lasting
more than three hours, many of the
meeting’s 70 attendees said they opposed this effort by the DOI.
Esther Kiaàina, DOI assistant
secretary of insular affairs, said the
discussion is an opportunity for Native Hawaiians to be heard.
“The intent of the Obama Administration was, to the maximum
extent possible, give those in the
community who have urged the consideration of a government-to-government relationship under domestic law, to have their voices heard,”
she said.
‘I’m Not American’
The vast majority Molokai testifiers said a government-to-government relationship would end the
quest to restore Hawaii to the status
of a sovereign, independent nation,
before the U.S. overthrew its government and it became the 50th state.

nderneath the brim of a worn,
black Stetson, lived a Molokai legend. Known for his infectious smile and warm laugh, his
horsemanship, his love of his family,
and his mules, Eldon “Buzzy” Sproat
was loved by many.
“He touched so many people…
he had so much love,” said his
daughter Brandi-Lee Sproat-Tilini.
The self-described “mule ride
trail boss” operated Kalaupapa Rare
Adventure for over 40 years and
guided thousands of visitors safely
down the three-mile cliff-side trail
to the isolated settlement.
“He was a man among boys,”
said community member Waipa
Purdy. “It’s not going to be the same
without him. He really was the mule
ride.”
Along with being the
mule ride, he was a paniolo,
volunteer community vet
and best whistler around,
according to Sproat-Tilini.
Sproat won statewide
acclaim as a cowboy and
earned many awards.
“He loved rodeo and
riding horses. He could ride
for hours,” said Sproat-Tilini. “He called himself the
mule-riding cowboy.”
In a short film about
the mule ride created by
P.F. Bentley three years ago,
Sproat shared his love of his
work.
“I’ll continue to do this
as long as I can. I’ll probably
be one of those guys who dies with
his boots on,” he said. “It’s been a
great life and I wouldn’t trade all
this for anything.”
Born in Kohala on Hawaii Island, Sproat grew up with horses
and hard work. One of his earliest
memories is looking between the
ears of a mule, said Sproat-Tilini.
She said he would tell them stories
of when he was 8 years old, and his
dad would go hunting in the mountains and kill a pig. He would leave
it in the forest and come home and
tell young Sproat where it was,
“in this valley by this tree.” Sproat
would ride for hours until he found
it. With the pig too heavy for him to
hoist onto his horse or mule by himself, Sproat-Tilini said Sproat would
tie one end of a rope to the pig, loop
Sharing Lomi Aloha
By Bianca Moragne | Staff Writer
T
he Molokai residents who visited
the shaded grounds by Keawanui
Fishpond last weekend likely left
more relaxed than they arrived. That’s
because 15 licensed lomi lomi massage
therapists and apprentices performed
more than 125 hours of Hawaiian massage treatments free of charge to about
100 community members Friday and
Saturday.
Under the breezy shade of blooming tress and the soothing sound of
buzzing bees, dozens of Molokai
community members were treated
to 50-minute treatments. The healing
massage therapy was made possible
by Hoòmana Spa Maui, which facilitated the visit of the therapists.
“We’re all here to aloha everyone
and part of the lomi lifestyle is about
giving back,” said Jeana Iwalani Naluai, spa owner and international instructor of lomi lomi massage. “It’s
not just a technique this is a way of
life, and it’s always been ohana work.”
Lomi lomi is an ancient Hawaiian healing art that has been practiced
for hundreds of years by practitioners
it over a tree branch, fasten the other
end to the pack animal, and walk the
horse away from the tree, lifting the
pig into the air and lowering it onto
the saddle. Then he’d ride home.
“He grew up with hard work
and never stopped,” his daughter
added. “That’s one of the things he
instilled within us.”
Trail Boss a Friend to All
Sproat served as a Paratrooper
in 11th Airborne Division stationed
in Germany, then lived in California
before moving to Oahu, where he
worked as a truck driver.
But mule training was in Sproat’s blood.
His grandfather was a muleskinner from Missouri who moved
to Hawaii shortly before the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom in
1893.
In 1973, Sproat’s dad, also
known for his work with mules, got
a call from a man on Molokai who
had bought some mules with the intention of starting a Kalaupapa tour
and father and son went to check it
out. In Bentley’s film, Sproat tells
the story of how the owners offered
him a job after he successfully rode a
mule down and up the trail.
“He was listed as one of the best
mule trainers in the world -- ranked
at the top,” said Roy Horner, mule
ride business partner since 1993. “I
feel privileged to be associated with
such a guy.”
Sproat said he loved meeting
people from around the world who

assist clients in body alignment with
rhythmic movements using their forearms, palms, fingers, elbows, knees,
feet and sometime sticks and stones.

“I like the convenience, the fact that you don’t have to go to the
busy side of the airport, and that there is no TSA,” says Marsha.
“Plus, you can’t beat the pricing.” As we talk, Marsha calls out to
one of our pilots as he walks toward the terminal, “Hey, Andy.” Talk

a lomi lomi session by placing their
hands gently on the body and remaining still for a few moments and then
massaging in long, flowing, dancelike strokes. Additionally, spiritual
chants, prayers and guided meditation may be incorporated.
Over the last few months, therapists were able to fundraise for this
community outreach event by running
a lomi-thon on Maui. Local businesses
and community members on Maui
donated roughly $1200 to bring therapists to Molokai to offer lomi lomi
therapy, Naluai said. The mission is to
“share aloha with our Hawaiian community and our Molokai brothers and
sisters,” she added.
Community outreach is a huge
aspect of Hoòmana Spa and each
therapist must complete 38 hours of
volunteer service a year and organize
one outreach event.
Two years ago Justin Kekiwi, a
massage therapist student and Molokai native, was awarded the Hoòmana
Spa Maui’s Native Hawaiian Scholarship to attend their year-long training
to obtain his Hawaii massage license.
As part of his community service
hours, Kekiwi jumped on the opportunity to give back to Molokai and
with this service project event.
“Lomi is different. It’s Hawaiian
and it’s deeper than massage. There
are many layers of spiritual aspects
and it helps a lot of people,” Kekiwi
said. “Now, we’re going to share it
around the world and with anyone
who wants to receive it.”
After noticing a lack of Native
Hawaiians in her classes at the spa,
Naluai started offering a scholarship
program in 2009 specifically for Native Hawaiian students interested in
learning and practicing lomi lomi. The
scholarship allows 10 students a year
with five every session in the fall or
spring season. To date, she’s had four
students enrolled each year.
“They learn how to not only connect with the muscles but with the
bones because Hawaiians believe
that’s where your mana is, that’s
where your life force is, and that’s
tural practitioner, chanted as he spoke
before officials. “Shame on you guys
for perpetuating the illegality, the
fraud…The DOI, all you guys right
here, we don’t need to talk to you
guys.”
Speakers were angry the federal
government inserted itself in Hawaiian affairs, and delivered a resounding “no” to the DOI.
The DOI is seeking comments on
questions such as whether the Secretary should assist the Native Hawaiian community regarding a government-to-government relationship and
what process should be established
for drafting and ratifying a reorganized Native Hawaiian government’s
constitution or governing document.
where your whole soul, lineage and
story is held,” Naluai said.
For Kekiwi, the scholarship program has been “life changing” and
said he wants to continue healing and
spreading the aloha of lomi lomi on all
the islands.
This is the first year Hoòmana
Spa Maui has conducted community
service on another island. Kekiwi said
he hopes the Molokai community service project will become an annual
event and thanks the community for
making it a success.
“It was a treat to not only have
them here giving back to the community, but to show them the fishpond
and sustainable living on Molokai,”
said local host coordinator Hanohano
Naehu. “This is such a treat and a
blessing.”
Keawanui Fishpond is more than
a fishpond, but a sustainable place to
practice Hawaiian activities and to
embrace the Hawaiian culture, Naehu
said. That is why he partnered with
Kekiwi to offer the fishpond as the site
for the community service project.
“There are some activities that we
can do today that link us directly to
our ancestors,” Naehu said. “One is
lomi lomi. Doing or receiving it is like
working the fishpond; I’m receiving
what my kupuna received. My body is
getting fixed in a Hawaiian way.”
Hoòmana Spa Maui will host another outreach event on Maui in December and on Kauai at the beginning
of next year.

Support for Recognition
The first hearing, held June 23
in Honolulu, revealed the opposing
views within the Hawaii community
and a strong opposition, which continued throughout the first six meetings.
Molokai’s
Colette
Machado,
chairwoman of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, testified in Honolulu and
was met with boos and loud protests
when she declared her support for the
federal government and encouraged
officials to move forward. This led
Machado to call for respect.
She continued to urge the government to continue on a path toward recognition during the Molokai meeting.
Sam Kealoha, a third generation
U.S. Veteran, said he didn’t agree in
totality but spoke in approval.
“We’ve been waiting 38 years at
the table, waiting for any opportunity
that we could talk government-togovernment, that we could talk selfdetermination,” Kealoha said.
Davianna McGregor, vice president of the Molokai Land Trust, said
Hawaii has “the right to be formally
recognized by the U.S. federal government as an indigenous people as all
other indigenous people are in their
state.”
McGregor said she believes a recognized Hawaiian government could
more effectively protect lands and resources to support decolonization.
Mahina Hou Ross, a teacher at
Molokai High School, said he wants
a process for drafting and ratifying a
Native Hawaiian government constitution by an independent and neutral
facilitating nation.
Kiaàina said DOI officials intend
to discuss an international facilitator
and other issues that are concerning to
the community with the Department
of Justice and the Department of the
State.
The Fate of Hawaiian
Homelands
The DOI says what exactly a Native Hawaiian government would
look like is yet to be determined, and
there are numerous unanswered questions about what could be gained from
its establishment. Supporters believe
the process could lead to protection of
millions of dollars in federal funding
buzzy sproat
came for the bumpy ride to the isolated Kalaupapa settlement.
“He was intelligent… and wellversed in the world,” said Horner.
“People come from all over, and he
could talk about California… he could
talk about the east coast.”
Many say that regardless of
whether Sproat had just met you or
known you for years, he’d treat you
the same – with a smile and a kind
word.
“Just when you saw him, you
knew he was a good person, he made
you feel good, he made your day,”
said Purdy. “Even if you just met him,
you’d think you’d have known him for
life -- that’s how he made you feel.”
Visitors to Molokai agree.
“He was always so gracious to
my wife and I when we would come
to ride the mules on that sacred journey to Kalaupapa,” wrote mule ride
customer Steve Aschmann on the
Dispatch Facebook page. “Mr. Sproat
always had time for kind, poignant
words and pictures.”
Horner said for the time being,
the mule ride will continue operating
daily.

set aside for Native Hawaiian education, health care, workplace training
and other programs, the Honolulu
Civil Beat reported.
Eligibility for funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs
are the primary benefits if the Native
Hawaiian community gains a status
similar to those of Native American
tribes and Alaska Natives. According
to the Bureau, tribes are recognized
as possessing certain inherent rights
of self-government, like tribal sovereignty, and are entitled to receive federal benefits, services and protections
because of their relationship with the
U. S.
Several testifiers asked if a Native Hawaiian government was established, would it be able to exercise authority over the Hawaiian Homelands.
Assistant Section Chief of the U.S. Department of Justice, Justin Smith, said
maybe.
“The statute of the Hawaiian
Homelands is not an issue at this time
because Congress has set the rules for
Hawaiian Homelands,” Smith said.
“But, the government is a very powerful thing. Once you have a government, that government can go in and
negotiate on your behalf in a lot of different places and do a lot of different
things.”
Smith said a recognized government could go to Congress, making
authority over the Hawaiian Homelands conceivable.
“There have been concerns by
Hawaiian homesteaders who want
their own government,” Kiaàina said.
“That is something that would have to
be considered if [homesteaders] collectively express themselves, whether
it be this [type of] process [for soliciting public comments] or amending the
Hawaiian Homes Commission Act.”
Next Steps in the
Rulemaking Process
The DOI said it was not seeking
input on what form a Native Hawaiian government, constitution or governing document might take or what
powers it could have.
There is 60-day comment period
due August 19. All oral and written
comments will be recognized and
published on the DOI website, doi.
gov, along with a raw transcription of
each meeting. Announcements made
by the Secretary of State will also be
published to the website.
There are two potential routes in the
next steps of the rulemaking process.
If the community response is
“no,” there will be no further action,
Smith said. However, if there is support then there will be an announcement that will take five to six months
to move forward with a proposed rule.
The proposed rule, should it
move forward, requires another round
of hearings which would take five to
six months of analysis. After that comment period concludes, there will be
five to six months for analysis of that
proposal before a final rule is considered, Kiaàina said.
Federal officials said feedback is
important and encourage participation in the process and attendance at
hearings over the next two weeks.
Family Bonds
Without hesitation, Sproat-Tilini
said her dad’s greatest accomplishment was his family.
“He was so proud,” she said. “No
matter what we did, good or bad, he
would be so proud of us. He would
go to every one of my brother ’s fights,
all my sister ’s games… he was always
there, he didn’t want to miss any of
it.”
Sproat’s wife Marlene remembers
his special occasion cards. Instead
of buying a new card every year for
their anniversary or her birthday, she
said he would recycle them and add
a “very” to his “I love you” message.
“I have a card or two that has ‘…
very very very very much,’” she said.
Community member Teri Waros
said she used to work at The Lodge
with Marlene.
“Buzzy would always show up
and hang out until the appropriate
time to dance with Marlene,” Waros
remembered. “Their love of each other, Buzzy's incredibly warm and true
character, his stories, his lifestyle - always made Molokai, Molokai.”
Sproat passed away at the age of
76, survived by his wife and 10 kids.
“He always had a smile on his
face,” said Sproat-Tilini. “He was so
funny -- to the end [in the hospital],
we were cracking jokes.”

T
wo weeks ago, more than half
a dozen families gathered at
Moòmomi for four days of
camping, pono fishing, generational
learning and most of all, inspiring
òhana to malama àina.
In its second year held on Molokai’s north shore coastline, Òhana
Lawaià camp offered an opportunity
for family learning of traditional fishing practices and protocol, along with
lessons in history, culture and biology.
Under the guidance of traditional resource manager and educator Mac Poepoe and other kupuna, the experience
offered a unique learning experience
for young and old. To participate, families were asked to bring at least two
generations of attendees.
“This morning we went to gather
salt,” said Pono, a 10-year-old participant. “When you gather salt, you have
to clean the pond for the next person.”
Kelele, age 9, agreed.
“We took all the yucky water out
and put clean water inside,” she said.
“It was pretty fun!”
Along with learning pono practices and exploring nature, for many, the
camp was also an opportunity to for
keiki to connect with kupuna.
“It’s special for me because I
worked with Uncle Mac 15 years ago,”
said Mahie McPherson, who attended
the camp with her two daughters, ages
2 and 4. “He taught me so much so to
be able to have my kids learn from him
is such an invaluable experience… for
them to learn where they’re from.”
Even at their young age, McPherson said her girls learned to scale fish –
an experience that was also a highlight
for Pono.
“I learned to cut and scale fish,” he
said. “We opened up a kumu and saw
three shrimp inside its stomach.”
The Hammond/Chow family enjoys the camp so much they said they
are repeat attendees.
“It’s so awesome for our kids to
learn pono fishing practices,” said parent Patricia Hammond.
One of Hammond’s daughters,
13-year-old Sunni Chow, said they
visited the remains of historic fishing
homesteads along the coast, hiked to
Kawaàloa -- the largest green sea turtle nesting site in Hawaii, picked limu
and learned to clean it, and listened
to moòlelo of Moòmomi from Aunty
Opuùlani Albino.
Youth also learned about nesting
native birds and turtles.
Aurea, age 8, said the birds nest in
holes in the ground, marked with flags.
Turtles’ nests are marked with sticks,
and keiki advised to stay at least 10
feet away from nests or nesting turtles.
“I love turtles,” said Kelele, “and
I just hate it when sharks bite them.”
The camp is funded in part by
Conservation International’s Hawaii
Fish Trust, an organization that partners with local communities to facilitate sustainable management.
“There are pockets of communities around the state trying to perpetuate and pass on traditional knowledge
before it’s lost,” said Kehau Springer,
coastal community capacity development advisor, acknowledging Poepoe’s
work to provide education on subsistence fishing.
“To teach kids pono fishing… [it’s]
simple but hard to do,” said Poepoe.
“That’s my satisfaction – seeing one
kid doing right… that’s enough.”
For many years, Poepoe held a
summer dive program to do just that
– educate the next generatation about
how to conserve and malama the resources.
Springer said she learned about
Poepoe’s work while she was working
in Kalaupapa on her Master’s degree.
Three years ago, Kilia Purdy-Avelino
organized the first Òhana Lawaià
camp at Aliì Fishpond, and the following year, the program moved to
Moòmomi through Hui Malama O
Moòmomi and with the support of
the Hawaii Fish Trust. The camp is also
sponsored by Tri-Isle Resource Conservation and Development.
Fruit Growers Molokai
Mini-Conference
HTFG News Release
The 24th Annual Hawaii International Tropical Fruit Conference is September 12-14 at the Kahili Golf Course on
Maui. Geared to farmers, educators, orchard managers and proponents of sustainable agriculture, the weeklong event
is presented by the statewide Hawaii
Tropical Fruit Growers (HTFG) and open
to the public.
The annual gathering continues September 15-19 with abbreviated sessions
on Molokai, Oahu, Kauai, Hilo and Kona.
Molokai’s inaugural mini-conference
is Monday, Sept. 15 to accommodate a
growing, active chapter on The Friendly
Isle.
The Maui conference is titled “It’s
All About Production” and offers a variety of breakout sessions, plus visiting
researchers and agro experts. Professor
Roger Leakey, crop physiologist, will
give the keynote address, “The Domestication of Tropical Trees as New Fruit
and Nut Crops.” Dr. Leakey is the former
director of research at the International
Center for Research in Agroforestry and
professor of agroecology and sustainable
development of James Cook University
in Australia.
Other speakers include tree-pruning
expert Dr. Yoshimi Yonemoto of the Japan
International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, who will offer “Training and Pruning for Production,” He
will demonstrate how to keep mangos
under five feet tall and produce copious
amount of fruits, while Dr. John Preece
of the USDA and National Clonal Germplasm Repository in California will discuss “Vegetative Propagation of Difficult
Woody Plants.”
Considered the world’s leading expert on post-harvest technology, the University of Hawai’i’s Dr. Robert Paull will
do a dinner presentation on “Phenology,
Productivity and Profits.”
HTFG Executive Director Ken Love
says intimate breakout sessions will cover
specific crops, while delving into a wide
range of topics like “Selling to Whole
Foods” by Steve Carey and “Soil Vitality
and On-Farm Mentoring” by Vince Mina.
Breakout presenters include Scot Nelson,
Gabe Sachter-Smith, Craig Elevitch, Tom
Baldwin, Brian Lievens, Leakey, Yonemoto, Preece and Paull. In addition, there
will be Sunday roundtable and panel
discussion touching on marketing and
“Where Do We Go from Here?”
The Molokai gathering includes a
talk about propagation by Preece, plus
Yonemoto will do a tree pruning demonstration on how to grow a 24x15x4-foottall mango tree to produce nearly 1,000
mangoes. Molokai attendees should
contact Amy Maeda for info, guavanut@

Maui event before August 1 enjoy a discounted fee of up to $75; visit htfg.org for
details. Registration forms and fee schedule are available on the website or by contacting Love at [email protected]
or Mark Suiso at [email protected].

There are a few
ways of looking at
making
compost
that some of my gardening friends have
passed on to me over
the years. Here’s just
one. When you make
compost with kitchen fruit and veggie scraps, you don’t have to do it the
usual way the book talk about. There’s
another very easy, very plant-enriching
way to do it.
Just empty the scraps on the ground
next to the fruit tree on any of the large
veggie plants like collards, pumpkin or
eggplant that you are growing. Then
level the pile a little and make it an even
thickness. Then scatter the dirt over it an
inch or so. Then put a few handfuls of
wet, torn up newspaper on top for the
earthworms and beneficial insects. No
put some newspaper or cardboard over
the whole thing. Wet that down also.
HALE
There should be no seams or holes in the
cardboard for light to get in. This is important because weeds or grass will be attracted to the sunlight and will grow like
crazy even with the slightest bit of light.
Also earthworms hate the light.
Finish the site with something over
it to hold the cardboard from blowing
away. Use a large piece of cardboard
or cut an armload of grass and place it
on top. Large flat rocks are even better.
Earthworms will show up eventually.
Beneficial microbes will reproduce immediately. Bacterial and fungal life will
thrive in this warm moist safe environment.
This lazy man’s way of composting is a safe balanced fertilizer. It acts as
a mulch because it eliminates weeds and
preserves moisture.
I wish all of you folks the best in all
things. Hopefully this Fourth of July will
be a little quieter because the loud explosions traumatize birds and animals. God
be with us and guide us.

FrOM THe AIrPOrT
Reprinted with permission from The Maui
News.
David Rapanot’s nickname of “Tuff”
was earned before he was a year old.
Rapanot was born in January 1996
with pneumonia — forcing him to spend
the first two weeks of his life in the neonatal intensive care unit at Kapiolani Medical
Center for Women and Children.
When he was three months old, he was
diagnosed with asthma. At six months and
nine months of age he had to be flown to
Oahu by air ambulance due to severe asthma attacks.
“His two older brothers, Scottie and
Ryan, along with my husband Scott and I
used to always whisper in his ears that he
has to be ‘TUFF’ and come back home to us
on Molokai,” his mother, Kim, wrote in an
email. “That is how he got his nickname.”
David Rapanot now stands a solid
5-foot-11, weighs 175 pounds and excels at
most any sport he tries.
After a senior year at Molokai High
School during which he gained Maui Interscholastic League first-team All-Star
recognition in eight-player football and Division II basketball, and was the coaches’
unanimous choice as MIL D-II Player of the
Year in baseball, Rapanot is The Maui News
MIL Boy Athlete of the Year, becoming the
school’s second recipient of the honor.
Manu Adolpho was the first winner
from Molokai, for the 2006-2007 school year.
“I remember Manu,” Rapanot said
before a baseball practice at Maui High on
Wednesday. “Hard worker, track and field,
cross country, basketball.”
As for what having another honoree
will mean for the Friendly Isle, Rapanot
said: “Proud, it will pretty much make them
proud.”
Rapanot, who will continue his baseball career at Feather River College in California, still battles asthma.
“It pretty much makes me push harder
all the time,” he said.
“The doctors just tell me to stay active.
I really just thank the Man upstairs for keeping me safe.”
This summer, Rapanot is playing with
the Maui Big League All-Star team, loaded
with MIL All-Stars from several schools.
“Oh man, playing with guys like this
is a lot of fun,” Rapanot said. “You can have
trust in them all and you don’t really have to
put too much pressure on yourself.”
Rapanot is not sure what his main position will be at Feather River — his fastball
touches 89 mph, and he is also a sure-handed middle infielder.
His prowess on the diamond was
demonstrated in the MIL D-II tournament
final against St. Anthony, when he was
4-for-4 with two triples, a three-run homer
and four RBIs, and on the mound retired
15 straight batters — nine via strikeout —
in a five-inning win after surrendering an
infield single to the first batter of the game.
Rapanot played football for the Farmers as a freshman, but not again until his senior year, when he was a quarterback and
cornerback.
“I wish I would have had him for four
years,” Molokai football coach Mike Kahale
said. “We were just happy to have him as
a senior. Good kid, great athlete. We had to
use his athleticism to the best of our ability.
He definitely could have played Division
III, Division II (college) football. It would
have taken a lot of effort and focus to get a
Division I scholarship, but that would not
have been out of reach.”
Rapanot was also a McDonald’s AllAmerican basketball nominee.
“Football was fun,” he said. “I wish
that I had played sophomore and junior
year. Yeah, I’m going to miss that a lot.
Basketball, I’m going to miss that a lot, too.
But baseball, since T-ball, that was my No.
1 goal, to become a professional baseball
player.”

Mike McCutcheon, the Molokai baseball coach and a graduate of the school,
would like to see Rapanot play all three
sports in junior college.
“I have seen a lot of athletes come and
go from Molokai being that I was raised
there,” McCutcheon said. “He is probably
one of the most athletic kids that I have seen
when it comes to multisports — being able
to just adapt to whatever is thrown at him.
He doesn’t have the size that some of those
athletes that he may be compared to, however, his athleticism helps him rise above.
“As a baseball player he was unique.
He was able to produce a lot of quality
pitches, a good compact swing, fielding —
he was just the true athlete. And it didn’t
take much work from the coaching staff,
it was his hard work that brought him to
where he was.”
Rapanot will have the backing of an
island with him at Feather River.
“I really know that I always have them
behind me, being from a small island,” he
said. “I just want to make them proud.”

“Kawaila” Purdy
has a special place
in her heart for
Molokai.
After
graduating from high school on Oahu
and enjoying the single life, she found

became very interested in farming.
“Molokai has the resources to be
abundant farmers” said Kawaila.
In the spring of 2012, she enrolled
for classes at UHMC, Molokai. Today,
Kawaila is close to finishing her Associate in Agriculture Natural Resource
Management, continues to serve as a
student mentor at the farm, and advocates for future farmers on Molokai.

Engaging the Community
By Barbara Haliniak
I am not a renewable energy expert. But I do know that when you want
to be successful in executing an island
plan, make sure you get the community
involved in the planning stages. Otherwise you will probably run across
many challenges that could have been
prevented by not being inclusive. This
column is not to debate renewable energy for our island, but to speak loudly
on the exclusion of important information regarding projects that will affect all
households prior to community meetings or introduction of legislative bills.
This legislative session, House Bill
1942, “Authorizes the issuance of special purpose revenue bonds to assist
Princeton Energy Group or Princeton
Energy Group’s related entity, Ikehu
Molokai LLC, with financing and refinancing costs relating to the planning,
design, and construction of a renewable
energy project with energy storage technology on the island of Molokai.” The
special purpose revenue bonds totaled
$50 million; the ACT has an effective
date of July 1, 2014 and lapse date of
June 30, 2019. HB1942 was introduced
on Jan. 21 and transmitted to the Governor on May 5.
Under the state’s constitution,
“special purpose revenue bonds shall
only be authorized or issued to finance
facilities of or for, or to loan the proceeds
of such bonds to assist, manufacturing,
processing or industrial enterprises,
utilities serving the general public…”
I’m wondering now, will Molokai
consumers end up paying for the planning, design and construction of a renewable energy project by a surcharge
on future utility bills?
On Feb. 14, Princeton Energy
Group held an informational meeting
which I attended to obtain information on the company’s energy plans
for Molokai. Just before this meeting,
I learned that our legislative representatives introduced House Bill 1942 and
Senate Bill 2754 without the majority of
our community being aware that these
bills were making their way through the
legislature. Although some testimonies
were submitted by Molokai residents in
support of the bills, most of the community was not even aware of them, purposely or not. Our legislative representatives should have done more outreach
to solicit community input, since this is
a sizable project affecting all who live
here.
This past March, I attended a threeday conference on Maui titled, “Electric
Utilities: The Future is Not What It Used
to Be.” Guest speakers from across the
country articulated the importance of
engaging the community in dialogue
at the beginning of the planning process. Emphasis was made that community should be at the table with the
utility company, the energy provider,
the public utilities commission, state
and county representatives. Important
words from speakers: deliver a product
design to benefit the consumer and who
better to know what is needed than the
consumer. Listen to the consumer. Too
bad this message wasn’t articulated to
our legislative representatives that “We
the People” is an important component
to plan our island’s future energy needs
and that we must be totally engaged at
all levels.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Would you like your savings
account to grow? Then deposit money into in it on a consistent basis. Would you like to feel good and have a lot of
physical energy? Eat healthy food, sleep as much as you need
to, and exercise regularly. Do you want people to see the best
in you and give you the benefit of the doubt? See the best in
them and give them the benefit of the doubt. Would you love
to accomplish your most important goal? Decide what you
want more than anything else and focus on it with relaxed
intensity. Yes, Aries, life really is that simple -- or at least it
is right now. If you want to attain interesting success, be a
master of the obvious.

Now is an excellent time to make a big deal out of expressing

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have permission to compose an all-purpose excuse note for yourself. If you'd like, you
may also forge my signature on it so you can tell everyone
that your astrologer sanctified it. This document will be ironclad and inviolable. It will serve as a poetic license that abolishes your guilt and remorse. It will authorize you to slough
off senseless duties, evade deadening requirements, escape
small-minded influences, and expunge numbing habits.
Even better, your extra-strength excuse note will free you to
seek out adventures you have been denying yourself for no
good reason.

Veterans Corner

Aloha
my
fellow
veterans
and
residents
of Molokai, old
Jesse here with
all the veterans
news and upcoming events. Why
do soldiers wear four different colored berets? The Army’s berets have
all been adapted from 20th Century
European headgear. Each color symbolizes unique history according
to the Army. Green berets worn by
Special Forces since 1961, they date
back to WWII British commandos.
Maroon berets are for airborne affiliation and authorized in 1980.
Black berets signify regular Army
and started wearing them in 2001.
British armor soldiers first wore
black caps instead of brimmed hats
to look more closely into sights in
the 1920s. Tan berets are for Army
Rangers who had worn black wool
caps from 1975, but changed to tan
in 2001. Tan denotes khaki uniforms
of earlier Rangers.
If you have any questions about
your VA benefits, filing a VA claim,
or anything about VA compensation
or health benefits, the VA benefits
workshop is the place you need to go
to get your questions answered. The
workshop will be on Saturday, July
12 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Hale Mahaolu Home Pumehana. The workshop topics will be VA benefits, loan
guaranty, vocational rehabilitation,
employment, death benefits and
more. All are welcome especially
veterans, family members, widows
and community providers. I hope to
see everyone there. If you have any
question about the workshop please
call the Veterans Center on Monday,
Wednesday or Friday from 10 a.m.
to 1 p.m. at 553-8387.
How did everybody do with
the last question, which was, in June
1933, Camden, New Jersey introduced a brand new way of watching
movies, what was it? The answer is
the drive-in. A month earlier, Richard Hollingshead Jr. received a U.S.
patent for his design to watch movies from your car. He built the first
such theater in Camden; the first
movie was “Wives Beware,” starting
Adolphe Menjou. Drive-ins became
notorious for those who wanted to
do more in their cars than simply
watch the movie, and eventually
more than 3,000 such “passion pits,”
as they were called, were built. The
new question is on average, what is
the warmest location in the nation?
I want to wish everyone a very
happy Independence Day on Friday,
July 4. Enjoy your holiday. This is
our country’s birthday. We became
the United States of America on July
4, 1776 and this year our country
is 238 years old, wow! Washington, D.C., the capitol of our country, holds the country’s biggest and
most famous fireworks display.
I thank all my fellow veterans
and residents of Molokai for all
your support, and to all the people
off island who read this column, and
have written to me, or called, to everyone I send a mahalo. If you have
a question, suggestion or news give
old Jess a call at 553-3323. I hope
that everyone has a great two weeks
and remember that old Jesse loves
you all. Aloha.

Appreciating Farmers
Summer Swim Schedule
I've been farming for over 45
years. During that time, farmers have
grown and shipped billions of tons
of healthy food to people who don’t
grow their own. Soon, there will be
even more people to feed, and we
farmers will continue to do our part to
make their lives better.
It’s hard for me to understand the
ungrateful people who attack farmers for what we do. They demand that
we grow and eat food only a certain
way, but very few have actually tried
to farm for themselves. They demand
that we stop our operations, as if our
life’s work is evil and millions of people with full bellies and warm clothes
are now at serious risk.
When I was a young farmer, our
job was to make needed changes to
agriculture and continue to improve.
Summer practice schedule is in effect for Maui Dolphins' Molokai Team,
at Cooke Memorial Pool, June and July
only. Now in the morning, practices
are running all week long from 6 to 8
a.m., Monday through Friday. All ages
are welcome, 5 years to adult. Swim
We worked for productive change and
still do. Thanks to modern agriculture,
our food supply is safer today than it
has ever been. Safe and beneficial genetically engineered crops are an important part of agriculture today, and
have been for many years.
Today, fewer than two percent of
Americans work in agriculture yet we
produce the base for over 60 percent
of the nation’s economy. We’re doing
our part.
I’m saddened to hear the misinformation and insults about our life’s
work, but I know the truth. What
we've done so far has been good for
the world, and if treated respectfully,
our young farmers will do even better.

Molokai Fitness: Calorie
Intake
By Ayda Ersoy
Do you know
what’s more important -- how
many calories you
take, or how much
nutritional food
you are eating each day?
Actually if you start to listen to
your body, it will tell you the answer.
Your body will tell you which food is
good for you and which is not. Think
about it: if you eat junk food or processed food, your body has to work
so hard to digest it that after you eat
you’ll feel low energy, sleepy and
bloated.
Are you giving enough attention
to what you’re eating? When you eat
healthy, fresh, real food, you’ll feel
much higher energy. You’ll feel much
lighter. Maybe you’ll feel like playing
outside with your kids or doing some
exercise.
Let’s say you’re eating 2000 calories per day, but this doesn’t mean
that you’re getting enough nutrition.
That’s why it is so important that
you’re aware of what you are eating
and when you are eating.
Food is your energy! It’s like the
gas you put in your car -- if you put
bad quality fuel in your car, then it
will start having serious problems
and probably break down. But good
quality gas will keep it working perfectly. Try to eat frequently - maybe
every 2.5 to 3 hours. This will help
you avoid eating too much at one
time.
Check your daily food intake,
and make sure you read all the labels
correctly. If you don’t understand the
ingredients, or it doesn’t say what’s
inside, then don’t eat it! Eat real food
-- there’s so much of it on Molokai.
Everywhere you look there’s delicious, fresh food. Live the healthy life
that you deserve!

An attitude of gratitude
Opinion by Rick Baptiste
The “attitude of gratitude”
can be a powerful and life changing path to being healthy, successful and therefore a great contributor to your happiness. Here are
some reasons to have an “attitude
of gratitude,” according to Google.
1) Boosts your career as gratitude
helps you network, increases your
decision making capabilities and
productivity. 2) Strengthens your
emotions by reducing feelings of
envy, makes your memories happier, allows you to bounce back
from stress, and lets you experience
good feelings. 3) Makes you more
optimistic. 4) Increases self-esteem.
5) Improves your sleep. 6) Increases energy levels. 7) Can help your
marriage. 8) Thankful children are
happier and do better.
Start with a “gratitude journal” and spend five minutes in the
morning and five minutes before
you go to bed writing down what
you are grateful for. Here are some
health benefits reported by those
who keep a gratitude journal: 16
percent fewer physical symptoms,
10 percent less pain, 25 percent increased sleep quality, significant
decrease in systolic blood pressure,
the lowering of depressive symptoms by 30 percent as long as the
practice was continued.
Simply put, an attitude of
gratitude can help you to live longer and happier.
You can even
thank someone mentally as you
think about them. I have found
that sending someone that you
deeply appreciate a card is one of
the greatest gratitude tools there is.
Don’t forget a phone call is another
great way to show your appreciation while face to face is always so
much more meaningful.
Albert Schweitzer said, “At
times our own light goes out and
is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to
think with deep gratitude of those
who have lighted the flame within
us.” And, as Oprah Winfrey adds,
"Be thankful for what you have;
you'll end up having more. If you
concentrate on what you don't
have, you will never, ever have
enough.”
I encourage you to give it a try,
choose to have an attitude of gratitude and watch how it affects all
those around you, your marriage,
your family, and our beloved island
community, Molokai. Don’t stress,
