Preserving a
‘Can Do’ PBS Rare Tradition
By Megan Stephenson
S
tudents at Molokai High School
(MHS) have had a rare learning
opportunity – to produce a story
for PBS (Public Broadcasting Station).
Hiki No – Can Do – is a new series on PBS Hawaii, completely student
written, produced, and shot, with help
editing by professionals at the station.
More than 50 schools are participating around the state, producing stories
about their communities.
MHS digital media teacher Perry
Buchalter signed up his digital media
class to participate, and its 15 students
will be hosting an hour-long show.
“I’m always trying to find ways to
get kids out and motivated,” Buchalter
said. “The digital media program is five
years old; it’s a challenge get kids to
step out of the box and tell stories.”
Buchalter applied to participate in
the program when it was announced
last summer, and began working with
the students at the beginning of this
year. They will do everything from start
to finish – introduce the series, the stories produced by another high school,
and thank the sponsors at the end. In
doing so, the students learn about

ver 30 Molokai residents moved
in a huge, swaying circle, blowing air through one nostril into
a bamboo flute. They were learning an
ancient form of hula – the `ohe hano
ihu, or nose flute. The Hula Preservation Society (HPS) in collaboration with
Oahu’s Hakipu`u Learning Center held
the workshop last Saturday as part of
their effort to preserve the first hula and
demonstrate hula implements rarely
seen today.
Participants each made a nose flute and
learned the basics of playing, along with its
accompanying hula (pictured right).
Showing grace and adaptability, a
group of 10 youth demonstrated various
forms of rare hula. Normally, dancers learn
from one kumu in one style, but in order to
preserve a wide variety of traditions, these
students learned to be adaptable.
“The kids have to be able to switch
between styles one after the other – a real
challenge,” said Maile Loo, kumu hula
and executive director HPS.
The main mission of HPS, according to
Loo, is to compile oral histories of hula elders.
“There are so many changes in hula
today – it’s not what the kupuna re-

our kupuna and what they’ve shared, using young people to do it.”
The three implements demonstrated
by the HPS are rarely seen today. Along
with the `ohe, the ulili, or spinning gourd

Clint Labrador (pictured above) voyaged across the 32 mile Ka`iwi Channel in his single-man outrigger canoe
last Saturday.
While Labrador rode solo, he was
one of 82 competitors vying for the
2011 Steinlager Ka`iwi Channel Solo
Race title, hosted by PA`A, the Paddling Athletes Association. The race
took off from Kaluakoi and ended
at Hawaii Kai, Oahu. Labrador was
joined by paddlers from around the
pacific, including Australia, Japan,
and the U.S West Coast, in addition
to fellow local racers Chad Lima and
Molokai-born Carlton Helm.
“Physically I was very prepared
for the race,” said Labrador, a firsttime race participant. “It’s really just
a mental battle when you are out there
alone for that long and you have to
just keep paddling while a lot of stuff
goes through your mind.”
A lack of wind and waves made
for a grueling course and caused three
people to drop out due to the rough
conditions. Both Lima and Labrador
finished within the first half of the
group, Labrador ending with a time
of 5 hours, 15 minutes.
“Next time I can only hope for
downwind waves and to finish as
strong as I did today,” Labrador said.
“I’d like to see Molokai
people, instead of using cars,
walk or ride a bike. And
see people take care of our
`aina.”
“Just to see the people
treat the `aina with more
respect than they do
today. Pick up rubbish.”
“We should grow our
own crops at home, so
we don’t have to waste
gas money to go to the
store. ”
“People going back to how
planting used to be, in the
old Hawaiian days.”

remains undefeated when they
bested the Hana Dragons last
weekend with a pair of exciting wins.
The victories claimed the Farmers the
Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) Division II regular season crown.
They will have a shot to win it all when
they compete in the MIL championships,
beginning this Thursday in Lanai City.
“Our goal is to win MILs and finish
what we lost last year,” said catcher Kayla
Tanner-Davids, after Saturday’s win.
The Lady Farmers, with a season
record of 8-0, defeated Hana on Friday
evening 5-2.
“The girls played very hard and
they wanted to win, so they went for it.
I’m really proud of them,” said assistant
coach Loke Kamakana.
On Saturday, Molokai led most of
the game, with help from pitcher Jasmine Borden, who allowed three hits
and struck out eight.
“I feel like we played really well today
and we are ready for the MILs,” Borden said.

New Molokai Council Seats
By Molokai Dispatch staff
T
he National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s
Hawaiian Islands Humpback
Whale National Marine Sanctuary has
added two new seats to its advisory
council, for Molokai and Lanai representatives.
Walter Ritte was named to the
Molokai seat, with Diane Abraham as
alternate.
“I am very excited about being on
the [council],” Ritte said. “My goal is
to have this sanctuary protect the environment and natural resources of the
Hawaiian Islands. I believe that the Hawaiian culture was and is based on the
sustainable use of these resources.”
He added that is goal on the council is to protect and enhance the Hawaiian culture through federal laws “since
our state has no political will to do so.”
“I hope to convince the federal government to recognize and work with the
`Aha Ki`ole and Molokai to protect and
enhance these resources that we depend
on to survive,” Ritte explained.
Established in 1996, the sanctuary
Advisory Council provides sanctuary
staff with advice and recommendations
on managing and protecting the sanctuary. The sanctuary is an area from shoreline out several miles to sea around the
islands of Maui, Lanai, and Molokai, as
well as parts of Oahu, Kauai and Hawaii Island.
Police Commission
Pancho Alcon was recently named
to the Maui County Police Commission,
which appoints the Police Chief and investigates charges brought forth by the
public against the conduct of the department or its members, among other
duties, according to the Maui County
website. Alcon was unavailable for
comment.
Side Streets to be Widened
By Mark Hayden
F
riendly Market Center (FMC)
has recently been approved for a
Special Management Area (SMA)
permit to subdivide a lot, a first step
in widening Kamoi and Alohi Streets
along FMC property.
The grocery store’s property falls
under the county zoning area classified as Country Town Business District (B-CT). Those zoning requirements, set in 1993 during former
Mayor Linda Lingle’s tenure, mandate
that the two streets be two feet wider
than their current width.
Alohi and Kamoi Streets are 40
feet wide, while the B-CT side street
rules designate 42 feet.
The county is undertaking the road
widening project, in partnership with FMC.
“It’s part of the B-CT. We have to comply,” said FMC co-owner Crystal Egusa.
The proposed value of the project
is $25,000, if it is undertaken, according to its SMA application.
The permit to subdivide was approved by Molokai Planning Commission (MoPC) last week.
FMC also hopes to receive an
SMA permit in the future to build a
storage warehouse on the lot between
Molokai Drive-Inn and FMC. The necessary subdivision for the road widening is also the first step for the possible building of the warehouse.
Molokai Planner Nancy McPherson has been required to do more research on B-CT, which will be discussed
at the next MoPC meeting.
Last week, MoPC introduced Mikiala Pescaia as new chairperson and John
Sprinzel as vice-chair of the commission.

espite Molokai’s nearly unanimous opposition to the proposed industrial wind factory,
its backers, Pattern Energy, Castle
& Cooke, Molokai Ranch, Hawaiian
Electric and Gov. Abercrombie, refuse
to give in. Instead, they’re sending a
squad of consultants, including BioLogical Capital and Molokai Renewables LLC, to Molokai beginning April
25 to dangle bribes before us.
But the bribes they’re promising
(funds for schools, health care, roads,
hotels, etc.) are based on the project’s
imaginary financial return. It will never
make money (except for its backers) nor
reduce our energy costs. Wind power is
such a financial loser that wind power
countries are cancelling new projects,
turbine-makers are cutting production
by up to 70 percent, and major U.S. utilities are finally telling the truth about
what a total scam it is.
With federal debt over $14 trillion, wind power is losing its major
backer – the hard-pressed American
taxpayer. “Two-thirds of the economics of wind power comes from federal
programs and tax subsidies, because
its revenues don’t pay for project development and operating costs,” according to the website, North American Windpower. And without federal
subsidies and tax breaks for billionaire corporations, wind power will
literally run out of air.
Another big lie about wind power is its contribution to electricity demand. Big Wind proposes 400 megawatts (MW) installed capacity on
Molokai and Lanai. This, they say, will
provide 10 percent of Oahu’s electricity needs. But wind power produces
only a small fraction of its installed
capacity.
One of America’s largest utilities,
the Bonneville Power Administration,
with 12 percent of U.S. wind power
capacity, has released 2008-10 data
indicating their turbines run at only
19 percent of installed capacity. Similarly, Great Britain’s wind installations only produce 21 percent of their
installed capacity. At each of the four
highest peak demand periods of 2010
their output provided only 2-4 percent
of their own installed capacity. Thus,
states the investment newsletter Alt
Energy Stocks, “wind power stocks
should be avoided like the plague.”
But do wind factories lower fossil
fuel use? “Despite decades of experience and substantial installations in
Denmark, Germany, and Spain, the
giant turbines have not been shown
to reduce the use of other fuels on the
electric grid,” according to National
Wind Watch.
“Wind truly has no generating capacity value, and its construction will not
displace building any new coal or natural gas generating capacity,” according to
Power Engineering, July 2009.
“Despite the establishment of significant additional wind power, [fossil] fuel consumption remains almost
constant,” according to Danish Environmental Report, 2008.
“Thirty GW of wind maybe requires 25 GW of backup,” according
to Iberdrola – one of world’s largest
wind power users, now cutting wind
investments by 50 percent.
“There always must be gas or
coal generation to supplement electricity when the wind either dies down
or blows so hard wind generators cannot operate,” according to Texas Co-op
Power.
This doesn’t even consider the
impacts on Molokai, our health and
property values. So when the friendly folks from Pattern, BioLogical
Capital and all the other wind power
hustlers come offering money for the
destruction of our island, let’s just
ask them, “What about no don’t you
understand?”

B
uilding on the success of the “Go
Green & Carbon Clean” project,
in which 36,000 compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) replaced incandescents, Blue Planet plans to introduce a
new series of energy efficiency programs.
The goal is to maintain momentum for
the island of Molokai to achieve energy
independence in the years to come.
The Molokai Project 2.0 will focus
on further educating the public and
engaging with the youth of Molokai.
Called “Hui Up,” the bulk appliance
purchase program will allow resident
to replace their inefficient refrigerators
with energy-efficient Energy Star products at affordable prices.
The program will also focus on
tracking the energy consumption of
each household by using the Energy
Tracker portal to monitor their progress
over 12 months. The students of Molo-
USDA News Release
kai will become the catalyst to provide
energy solutions to residents by monitoring their energy use and further providing them guidance in the months to
come. Blue Planet Foundation will provide the necessary tools for the students
to implement this program.
Beginning in April 2011, Blue Planet will conduct a community survey
to learn more about existing refrigerators and energy use of each household.
Those interested in participating can
find more information, and apply to
participate, at Molokai’s Earth Day Fair
on April 22 at the Mitchell Pauole Center, and the Molokai Ag Fair on April 30
at Lanikeha Community Center.

The Dynamic Planet Pt. 3
By G.T. Larson
T
he March 11 earthquake and
tsunami’s effects are still being
assessed and analyzed by the
scientific community. The earthquake
itself did not affect Hawaii, but as we
all know, many areas around the state
including Molokai did suffer varying
levels of damage from the tsunami
that was generated. We have examined in part two how a tsunami can
be generated; let us now take closer
look at the tsunami itself.
The scientific term for a seismic sea wave is a tsunami. This is a
Japanese word with a double root,
tsu meaning port or harbor and nami
meaning wave, usually translated,
harbor wave. Ocean waves, whether
of seismic or wind generated origin,
have two parts: the crest, or highest point, and the trough or the low
point. The amplitude (wave or crest
height) and the wavelength (time or
period between crests) determines
the wave or surf height as it comes
ashore. As a wave train of any origin
reaches a coast line, it begins to slow
down and stack up; this is referred
to as wave shoaling. A typical wind
generated swell that reaches Hawaii
has a wave height of one to 15 feet
or more, and a period of five to 16 or
more seconds, resulting in breaking
waves of one to 20-plus feet. Tsunamis have small amplitudes but very
long wavelengths, often hundreds of
miles between crests. This is one of
the reasons they are almost imperceptible as they travel across the open
ocean. Another parallel characteris-
Taking Initiative with
Organic Farming
tic of tsunamis and wind generated
waves is what is called drawback.
As a wave’s trough approaches a
shoreline, there is a certain amount of
withdrawal or receding of the ocean,
called a drawback. Then the crest arrives and the wave breaks or comes
ashore. In times past as a tsunami
has approached Hawaii, such as Hilo
in 1946, the ocean has receded hundreds of feet, exposing reefs and leaving many fish stranded. Through an
unfortunate lack of understanding
of what was occurring, many went
out upon the exposed reef and began to gather the stranded fish. This
massive draw back of the ocean was
followed by an even more massive
surge of water. There was no time to
out run this wall of water and many
drowned. Today, with the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center on Oahu and a
much keener public awareness of the
dangerous effects of tsunamis in Hawaii, the death tolls have thankfully
been greatly reduced.
Over the years Hawaii has been
hit by numerous tsunamis of distant
origins, including at least 11 that
have had nine foot or more run ups
or surge heights. All of these having
originated around the Pacific Rim, referred to as the Ring of Fire; an area
of intense tectonic activity. This is
not the only source of tsunami activity in the islands though. The largest
tsunami waves to strike Hawaii were
produced in Hawaii; we will examine
this in our next installment. Aloha Ke
Akua.

here’s a new reason to be an organic farmer. The U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) announced a national funding opportunity
for certified organic producers, or those
transitioning to organic production.
Locally, the USDA-NRCS office is
hosting a sustainability workshop, focusing on conservation easements to
achieve sustainability goals. Conservation funding will be discussed, as well
as an introduction to conservation easements and benefits to landowners.
Wallace Jennings, district conservationist, will help host the conservation workshop on April 29 in the OHA/
DHHL conference room at Kulana `Oiwi,
from 8:30 a.m. – 12 noon. RSVP by April
25 by calling (808) 483-8600 x123 or email
[email protected]
This year is the third year of the USDA’s Organic Initiative, where up to $50
million is available to help producers plan
and implement conservation practices that
address natural resource concerns.
Conservation practices might include planting cover crops, establishing
pest management plans, constructing
seasonal high tunnels, or implementing
nutrient management systems consistent
with organic certification standards.
Eligible producers include those certified through USDA’s National Organic
Program, those transitioning to certified
organic production, and those who meet
organic standards but are exempt from
certification because their gross annual
organic sales are less than $5,000.
Organic Initiative funding is provided through NRCS’ Environmental
Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), a
voluntary conservation program that
promotes agricultural production and
environmental quality as compatible
national goals. The 2008 Farm Bill provided assistance specifically for organic
farm operations and those converting
to organic production.
Producers interested in applying for
EQIP Organic Initiative funding must
submit applications through their local
NRCS Service Center, which can be located through the Web site at offices.sc.egov.

Land Crabs
By Glenn I. Teves, County Extension Agent
C
rabs and spiders are closely
related under a family or phylum called arthropods, and
some spiders look like
crabs. One in particular
is the spiny backed spider, also called the crab
spider. One of two species found in Hawaii,
the more recent nuisance arrived in Hawaii in 1985 and
on Molokai around 1989. This spider,
with two distinct white spots on its
back, is the one that makes webs all
around houses, clothes lines, trees,
and even your car if you leave it in
one place long enough.
Most spiders are solitary, meaning they work and live alone, but the
spiny backed spider form community
webs and work in teams in areas with
high populations. As a team they can
cover very large areas with webs over
a very short time. The female spiders
hang by their short legs in the center of
the webs, while the supporting lines or
radii are adorned with wooly tufts of
white silk believed to act as lures for insects. The male is much smaller than females and may be found hanging from
a single web off the female web.
After mating, females lay egg
masses on surfaces other than their
webs, such as house walls. The eggs
are enclosed in a thick, silky fluorescent green web covering, and turn
yellow when the eggs hatch. One way
of controlling them is to destroy these
egg masses, which can contain over
100 eggs. Destroying egg masses is one
way of keeping populations down.
Spiny backed spider populations
are very cyclic, with high numbers
during rainy humid periods, but will
drop off in other times of the year.
This insect is not known to be an
indoor pest, but people have complained of being bitten or irritated by
the web, especially in sensitive areas
such as the neck. The bite has caused
localized swelling in some individuals. Please seek medical attention if
you’re allergic to bites.
Insecticide screening tests conducted by the UH College of Tropical
Agriculture and Human Resources
have determined that Johnson’s No
Roach, Strike Roach Ender, Black Flag
Ant and Roach, and Raid House and
Garden aerosols killed 90 percent of the
females within 24 hours. These chemicals are not cleared for use of plants and
trees. As with any pesticide, please read
the label before using them, and follow
instructions. Again, crushing the egg
masses is another way of keeping populations down.

fans started to get worried and the Hana
fans started to get louder. The Lady Farmers made defensive errors on routine plays.
But Molokai caught up and tied it
6-6 by the sixth inning. They continued
their rally into the seventh inning, not
letting up on defense or offense.
Molokai ensured their tournament
berth in the bottom of the seventh inning. Natalia Levi hit a two-run RBI to
make it 8-6 and the deal was sealed after Tanner-Davids hit in two more RBIs
with an in-the-park single.
“I feel great. I wanted to steal bases and hit
an RBI. I met my goals,” Tanner-Davids said.
Levi made the final out as she snagged
a fly-ball in center field. Her teammates
flocked to mid-field for celebration.
“I think our playing today was
super,” said Tootie Rawlins. “This was
what we have been waiting for all season.”
In addition to playing in front of
a supportive group of Molokai parents
and fans, the Lady Farmers also battled
it out this weekend in front of a raucous
Hana fan base.
“Hit the ball, long and hard!” they
chanted in unison.
But Molokai did not hesitate to be
hospitable to the Hana players. Both
teams sang the Molokai anthem together and even joined each other in a dance
on the field after the game.

Free Will Astrology
By Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Now comes one of the supreme tests that most every Aries must periodically face:
Will you live up to your promises? Will you follow through
on your rousing start? Will you continue to stay passionately committed once the fiery infatuation stage evolves
into the earthy foundation-building stage? Here’s a secret
to succeeding at this test: You can’t just try to force yourself
to “be good” and do the right thing. Nor does it work to use
shame or guilt to motivate yourself. Somehow you’ve got
to marshal pure, raw excitement for the gritty detail work
to come. You’ve got to fall in love with the task of actually
fleshing out your dreams.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Eighty years ago, an explorer
who visited the Maori of New Zealand found they had
such good eyesight that many were able to detect Jupiter’s four largest moons with their naked eyes. That’s the
kind of vision you could have in the coming days, Libra -metaphorically speaking, at least. The astrological omens
say you have the potential to see further and deeper into

What’s Happening Molokai
Aunty’s Corner
Column by Kathy Templton
A
loha Aunty here.
My friends and
I took Aunty Panana to Coffees of Hawaii for her 85th
birthday a few Sundays ago. She was
bedecked out in all kinds of lei and was
even coaxed to come up and do Puamana. She’s been dancing since she was
five years old. Thanks to Rose who has a
beautiful arbor of Jade pua. Never having made a Jade lei before, it turned out
pretty good if I do say so myself.
Last week my other niece, Maile,
and grand-niece, Kekupu, are here along
with Maeve, the nanny for the great ihu
ohe hula workshop. I hope that you all
were able to attend. My sister gave her
daughter, Maile, the task to teach this
mele so that it does not die. It is a very
rare mele.
All the staff at Friendly Market is
outstanding but one person, Timmy, is
exceptional. Each time I need help he
goes above and beyond. Thank you
Timmy.
I saw a beautiful young woman in
the drug store who was dressed all in
purple [my favorite color] and had a
beautiful purple pua in her hair. I told
her how beautiful she was and she gave
me her pua. Mahalo my dear, you truly
are beautiful.
I had to go into NAPA next door
to pick up something for my window
washer for my car. I’m always so intimidated to go in there because all the
guys in there know what they are doing
and I don’t, but Charles who works at
the desk is so cool. He helps me and I
don’t feel really overwhelmed. Mahalo
plenty.
Woo hoo to Todd and Noe for the
birth of their beautiful son, Kauluwai.
He weighed 9 lbs 4.5 oz and was 21
inches long. Dad and mom are doing
well. We are waiting anxiously to see
this beautiful boy. Grandma Nan said
he is beautiful!
Love, laughter and malama pono,
Aunty

Veteran’s Corner
Column by Jesse Church
H
ello veterans, old Jesse here
with all the veterans’ news
and upcoming events. In the
April 11 issue of Time magazine, they
reported about a scandal at Arlington
National Cemetery. An Army inspector general’s investigation confirmed
that the Army had lost control of its
sacred ground, the resting place of
John F. Kennedy and Audie Murphy,
and 330,000 others who courageously served their country. The probe
was played down by the Army, but
the revelation prompted a congressional hearing, and howls of disgust
from veterans’ organizations. This
outrage prompted Army Secretary
John McHugh to push out the superintendent of Arlington, and his deputy, and install a new boss to make
things right on its hallowed site.
But it looks likely that the problems at Arlington are far worse than
the Army has acknowledged; the
new chief Kathryn Condon admits
the service may never be able to
identify all the missing remains on
the 624-acre site. The problems at Arlington stem from their record keeping, for they have never computerized their records. The Army has
known for months that they have a
massive case of mistaken identity on
its hands, but is reluctant to admit it,
or learn exactly how widespread the
burial errors really are.
The Army plans to make only
educated guesses about the identity
of the remains rather than dig to be
sure. This is a very well written article by Mark Benjamin, and I hope
that everybody will take the time to
read it.
For all you veterans palling to
buy a home, Tony Dias, president of
VA Loans Hawaii, is coming to Molokai on May 12 for a free educational
seminar. He will be able to answer
all your questions, and help get your
certificate of eligibility from the VA
to apply for the home loan. This free
seminar will be held at the OHA/
DHHL conference room at 10 a.m. – I
hope to see everyone there. For more
information called the veterans’ center at 553-8387 and speak with the
watch commander (open Mon, Wed,
Fri 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.)
If anyone has any news or stories they’d like to share or experiences while in the service of this great
country, I would really love to hear
them. A big mahalo to all our veterans, and the people of Molokai, I love
you all.

Pilot Tribute
T
he woman on the right is my sister
Bobbie, known to the people in Kalaupapa as “Airplane Bobbie.”
My sister is a pilot and we often
fly to Kalaupapa, as

out about Pacific Wings
prices, she has been frequently flying the service workers up for free.
At times, they donate a
little gas money, as the
price of aircraft fuel is
through the roof, but she is not paid
to do this, and she loses money every
time she takes off. It’s not the money
that drives her, but her enormous good

She also freely gives her time to
charities and helping the youth of Hawaii. The two young ladies in this photo had never been off
of Oahu, and she took
them to Kalaupapa so
that they may experience something that they
would not have a chance
of do otherwise. Putting
smiles on faces is what
she’s about.
Molokai has a special place in our hearts, especially Kalaupapa, it truly is “the Friendly Isle”

halo to our many faithful friends and
family members who were there for
us – you are why we will get through
this. A special shout out to Don’s cousins, they have been unwavering in all
of this, we are so proud of the
young adults they have come
to be. Thank you Detective Gene Santiago and the
Molokai Police Department, Molokai Mortuary,
Moana’s Flower Shop, the
Molokai Ranch staff for
your professionalism and
support, to the Kaluakoi
residents for your sensitivity
and patience throughout one of
the most difficult situations a family
should have to endure, and to the Lorico/Yap `ohana for your understanding and contributions. Thank you. “If
the world could be more like Molokai,
it would be a better place,” said Don’s
father-in-law, Randy Shank.

olokai, Hawaii, is by far one
of the most beautiful places
on earth. Molokai herself is a
refuge; an almost sacred place where
they do not seek to escape from life, but
rather to embrace it.
Once you go there and accept the
ancient and beautiful island, it becomes
a part of you. It’s like a silent language
that speaks to you softly and gently.
When you absorb the countenance of
the land, it’s like walking on the wings
of the wind.
Molokai is the essence of serenity.
When you sit and listen to the “sounds
of paradise,” the waves crash on the
shore and the birds sing among the
branches.
The island itself is filled with endless riches. If it is possible to be in love
with a place, a location or more specifically an island, then you will surly be in
love with Molokai. When you meet the
people, you will know this is an island
of paradise.
Molokai…no ka heke.

Blessed by Good Friends
W
e would like to express our
sincerest gratitude to the cafeteria staff and administration of Kualapu`u School for holding a
special fundraiser in support of Jeffrey
Palmer and his fight against cancer.
We thoroughly enjoyed seeing good
friends, both old and new, at the recent
Saturday plate lunch pick-up. The love
and kindness everyone has shown us
throughout Jeffrey’s illness continues
to provide us with the strength and the
desire to “carry on.”
A special mahalo goes out to Mike
Shizuma, George Gramberg, Carolyn
Bush, Summer Napoleon, and Ronnie Rapanot for organizing the event,
providing the groceries, cooking the
food, and serving up the delicious plate
lunches; to Lydia Trinidad for her continued support; and to all the folks who
bought lunch tickets in support of Jeffrey. Thank you all!
We are truly blessed to have such
wonderful friends here on Molokai that
make us feel like family; thank you for
touching our lives when we need it the
most.

M
Mahalo for a Full Memorial
e would like to express our
deep, heartfelt mahalo to all
who thought of Don Espaniola on April 6, 2011 – Don’s memorial
began tumultuously with thunder
and wind-blown rain, and
ended spectacularly with
sunbeams and crystal
waves, echoing our
emotions since the
loss of our beloved
Don Jr. We have so
many people to thank
for their prayers, their
support and for their
unconditional
giving
and aloha – lucky we live
Molokai, where a simple nod
of the head, a touch on the arm, says everything without a single word; where
coolers are magically filled with food
and drink; where tables miraculously
get crowded with dish after dish; in a
place where we don’t have much, you
gave so much. God has been so good to
us. Big hugs and kisses to the McCutcheons, Bicoys, Santiagos, Hiros, Molokai
High School’s class of 1995, and to the
rest of our extended Espaniola `ohana
who’s always there, taking care of the
people. Thank you so much to Don’s
friends, who came to say goodbye, ma-
T
he attitude of sailing, and carrying cargo for trade and commerce, by swiftly, and safely
transporting freight, passage, and cargo
to and from market, truly was in its zenith during the Golden Age of Sail, with
a lightweight, ultra strong vessel called
the clipper ship.
Clipper ships were the fastest ships
of its time, before the invention of steam
ships. This time, we will be harnessing
this “free ride from nature” with kites,
dents. Here is a list of things that are
