got to see the face of a new
statue of Brother Joseph Dutton for the first time when it arrived on
the island from China last Thursday.
The statue of the Civil War veteran who
worked for 45 years in Kalaupapa with
St. Damien depicts him in his youth
wearing his Union uniform. There is a
growing movement to promote Dutton to sainthood alongside Damien and
Marianne Cope, and the statue may be
one starting point for that process, said
Molokai’s Father Bill Petrie of St. Damian Catholic Parish.
The statue was donated to Molokai by Oahu benefactor John Perreira,
who worked with local residents,
including the late parishioner Larry Helm, former commander of the
Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans,
to design the statue. Helm, who heard
of Dutton’s work in Kalaupapa and
the effort toward canonization, found

Affordable
Housing
in Manila
Camp
By Jessica Ahles | Staff Writer
A
new apartment complex proposed for Manila Camp is in
its initial planning stages and
seeks to fulfill a need for affordable
housing in central Molokai. The Chopra Hale apartments would consist of
16 units and occupy 1.04 acres located
at 190 Makaena Place, according to
project manager Luigi Manera.
The proposal was presented to
the Molokai Planning Commission
last week and commissioners voiced
several concerns about its impact on
the community. Some questioned
the project’s goal itself.
Currently, the closest affordable
housing options are in Kilohana and
Maunaloa, Manera said. The apartments will provide more affordable
housing closer to town; however
Commissioner Billy Buchanan recommended that a study be conducted to ensure the apartment rates are
reasonably priced for Molokai.
Affordable rates, according to
Manera, are based on Maui County’s standards, which look at the
county’s average income. Buchanan
expressed concern that the county’s
definition of affordable might not
mean it’s affordable for Molokai.
“I’d like to see a low-income
housing project that working people
can afford,” said fellow commissioner Diane Swenson, supporting
Buchanan’s comments. “People that
aren’t working are living in better

he Kalaupapa peninsula’s long history of isolation makes it one of the
most pristine cultural resources left
in Hawaii, according to the National Park
Service (NPS). Its 10,700-acre authorized
park boundary keeps the landscape raw
and untouchable from modern land developers but its overgrowth of invasive
vegetation threatens to eat away the traces
of ancient Hawaiian residents 1,000 years
ago.
Though Kalaupapa is most commonly known for its Hansen’s disease
residents that were exiled there in 1866
and the geographic and societal segregation that took place over 100 years,
the peninsula hosted a dense Hawaiian
population nearly 900 years prior. Their
residency left a diverse wealth of sites,
features and artifacts that researchers
can use to reconstruct the past.
“Artifacts are any objects used by

humans, generally more than 50 years
old, so we see artifacts all the time,” said
National Park Service (NPS) archaeologist Mary Jane Naone at a Kalaupapa
community meeting last Tuesday. “We’re
really privileged to live and work here
and so the purpose of this presentation is
to give an educational overview how we
can best preserve it.”
Naone said her work primarily involves conducting archaeological surveys, site and feature reporting, and
planning preservation measures. She
repairs rock walls, carries out condition assessments, and removes invasive
vegetation from areas that depreciate archaeological sites.
However, weeding the area from
threatening species may be easier said
than done.
“[Removing invasive vegetation] is
difficult and there are a lot of questions
involved,” Naone said. “When we start
to remove vegetation, it opens up the
canopy so some of it can grow back. We
want to be careful of how we remove

vegetation so that it’s a long-term goal.”
Paul Hosten, a terrestrial ecologist
for the NPS, said his team is focused
on clearing alien vegetation from three
main areas that have native flora as well
as archaeological sites: the east coast,
along the crater, and the northeast coastal spray zone, which is an area where
vegetation is adapted to the onshore salt
spray emitted from the ocean.
Three predominant invasive species, according to the NPS, include
Christmas berry, koa haole, and lantana.
“Where we have native species, we
fence it off, we try to remove the deer
from those areas and then try to remove
and prohibit future growth [of invasive
vegetation],” said Hosten.
In areas with dense overgrowth, research can still be done. A laser survey
system called LiDAR is one of the tools
researchers use to penetrate dense vegetation, according to Naone.
“It’s being used throughout our
archaeology because you can actually
scan aerially and pick up rock features
without having to crawl through vegetation,” she said.
Both Naone and Hosten said they
hope to work with volunteer groups
to assist with their efforts to better preserve Kalaupapa’s past.
“Our biggest threat to archaeologi-

cal sites here in Kalaupapa is the vegetation,” said Naone. “So if we can get
volunteer groups to help reduce some of
that, it’d be a great help.”
Other ways visitors can help keep
archaeological sites intact is to follow
all federal and state antiquity laws. Naone reminded meeting attendees that
it’s illegal to vandalize, excavate or take
anything away from our archaeological
sites.
Artifacts contribute to the site’s story, Naone said. Once they’re relocated
or completely removed from the site,
we lose the information that item would
have given and we lose part of the story.
The NPS also discourages visitors
from building rock monuments in the
area because they can mimic real archaeological features and skew future
research.
According to Naone, a good rule of
thumb the public should follow when
visiting Kalaupapa archaeological sites
is to leave no trace and to keep your
hands to yourself.
“Archaeological sites are nonrenewable,” said Naone. “Once they
are destroyed, they’re gone forever. So
when you’re in a place and you recognize that it’s a place that belonged to the
past, just take good care of it…so we can
enjoy them for future generations.”

Decade of Environmental
Leadership
By Jessica Ahles | Staff Writer
A
s a child, Uncle Mac Poepoe
fondly remembers fishing
down at Mo`omomi Beach
with family and friends, but as time
passed, he began seeing the area increasingly populated with unfamiliar
boats and people, over-fishing in its
waters.
“I said, ‘Hey we’ve got to do
something about this because if this
continues, we’re not going to have
many fish left for ourselves,’” said
Poepoe.
He came together with a group
of Molokai fishermen and community members who decided they
needed more public input as to how
environmental resources are managed.
Nearly 20 years later, his efforts have spread statewide. With
the help of Kua`aina Ulu `Auamo
(KUA)—formerly known as the
Hawaiian Community Stewardship Network—a community-based
management network formed incorporating more than 25 communities statewide dedicated to restore
and sustain their environmental
heritage. The network—E Alu Pu,
or “Move Forward Together”—is
celebrating their 10th anniversary
at this year ’s learning exchange on
Molokai.
“This is basically a grassroots
community movement,” said KUA
Executive Director Kevin Chang.
“To know that after 10 years, they’ve
continued informing, sharing and
learning from each other about
what’s going on in their own places,
this is like coming full circle for its
10th anniversary.”
In 2003, representatives from
13 communities gathered on Molokai for E Alu Pu’s first learning exchange, according to a KUA news
release. This year, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs awarded an $8,000
grant to bring 100 community leaders from six islands to Molokai’s
Ka Honua Momona International
(KHM) at the Ali`i Fishpond.
Ka Honua Momona, meaning
bountiful earth, is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to help
Molokai return to momona or abundance, which is part of the community’s cultural tradition.
The KHM headquarters at the
fishpond transformed into a campsite from August 15 to 18 as participants shared and learned about each
other ’s projects as well as helped
build effective resource management skills.
“A lot of us share the same
problems, share the same vision,
and share the same goals and so
coming together like this is really
helpful and beneficial for us as an
organization and for the communities we represent,” said Jessica
Casson, a representative of Oahu’s
Malama Loko Ea, which strives to
restore and preserve Loko Ea Fishpond in Haleiwa.
Over the few days, E Alu Pu
discussed management strategies
for community-based subsistence
fishery areas such as Mo`omomi,
as well as what being a member of
E Alu Pu entails and the network’s
values and obligations moving forward, according to Chang.
“We’ve been learning a lot
of different cultural things,” said
Haunani Kaiminaauao, from Hui
Malama O Koloa on Kauai, which
is currently working to reduce traffic congestion by finding alternative, cleaner transportation options.
“We’ve learned about restoring lo`i,
which are the kalo beds, and about
the history of the fishponds here
and the ohana that have been working on them.”
On Saturday, network representatives also broke into groups
and traveled to different sites across
the island including Halawa Valley,
where members planted taro and
removed invasive weeds; Hoolehua, where planted a line of banana
trees; and the Kaloko`eli Fishpond
in Kamiloloa, where they helped
remove mangrove, promoting the
health of the pond.
“[Removing mangrove] is a lot
of hard work but it’s very rewarding because I’ve seen the results,”
said Wally Hoito, from Oahu’s Ewa
Limu Project. “I think we did pretty
good and I’m happy to support Uncle Merv [KHM fishpond caretaker]
and the fishpond.”
An important part of the gathering, according to Kauwila Hanchett,
an executive director of KHM, is the
connections that are made and the
relationships that are built while
working towards a common goal.
“This is my first time [participating in the gathering] and I think
maybe as a whole, we‘re learning
more about what it means to be part
of this group, what we can do when
we’re united, and what we’re able to
do that we couldn’t achieve alone,”
said Hanchett.
With the motivation and support from E Alu Pu and KUA, community nonprofits are able to better
organize and build new resource
management policies as well as connect with state government to implement them, according to Chang.
“What Uncle Mac and other
communities were working on 20
years ago is finally happening at
the government level,” said Chang.
“The government told communities that they could create laws to
regulate their own fisheries. In the
past four years, the state has started
looking at it and taking it seriously.”
In the future, Chang hopes to see
the E Alu Pu network become even
more effective and united, driven by
their desire to have collective influence in their communities. He describes the E Alu Pu members and
their ambition to preserve Hawaii’s
cultural and environmental heritage
as “kipuka,” meaning “opening” or
existing land that volcanic lava surrounds, but doesn’t fully cover.
“When the volcano erupts and
the lava flows, it covers everything,” he said. “But there are little
places—like seed vents—within the
lava flow where it starts to flourish
again. What once was there returns,
and most of these people are personally, as human beings, kipuka
because they still retain some of the
knowledge of the past.”
Poepoe views the last 10 years
as a success, however, he said there
is still work to do.
“I’ve got to feel good because
I think we’ve all learned a lot,” he
said. “But there’s a lot more to learn,
there’s a lot more to teach, and
there’s a lot more to know. It doesn’t
stop. It’s an everlasting learning experience.”
Still, he believes the network’s
future is on the right track, looking
to their past for resource sustainability.
“We like to talk about our ancestors, our kupuna,” said Poepoe.
“They blazed the trail for us and
they set the path for us. If you follow that same path, you can be just
as successful as they were…it’s that
simple.”

Talking Story with
Sen. Schatz
BAKERY OPENS
5:30 AM
L
Question (Q): What do you love
about Molokai?
Schatz’s answer (A): It’s the
sense of people depending on each
other and real aloha. People really do
take care of each other in this community and I think that’s an example
for the rest of the state and world.
They demonstrate what aloha really
means.
Q: What challenges do you see
as specific to Molokai?
A: The geographic aspect that
increases the cost of everything. We
need to make sure there is solid infrastructure for transportation, and
over the long run, Molokai is going
have to generate energy and have
food security.
Q: Where do you see Molokai’s
energy future?
A: I think right now the main
priority is cost. People are paying
three to four times the national average for electricity. So the main concern for Molokai residents is to try
to find ways to drive down the cost.
Clean energy can do that. Also because this island is such a small grid,
we have to find ways to innovate
and find more opportunities to bring
clean energy.
The U.S. Department of Energy
continues to be interested in Hawaii
as a model and if you can articulate
a vision where you can talk about
an island being close to 100 percent
clean energy, that would be a story
to tell.
Q: What’s some recent legislation you’re working on?
A: [One thing] is some progress
with Pres. Obama and establishing
government-to-government
relationships with Native Hawaiians.
Hawaiians are the only group that
doesn’t have that...but there’s new
hope through executive order. The
president himself is thinking about
it. It’s going to be difficult legally, but
he’s giving it consideration.
Q: Molokai’s engine driver is
agriculture, but we have a lack of
water resources. Is there any way
you can bring funding to help us
capture added water resources?
A: This has to be the beginning
of a conversation. We’ve got to work
together and I’d be pleased to do
that…There’s something called the
Bureau of Reclamation and their pur-

tary career, drank heavily for the next
decade, according to accounts of his
life.
Things turned around for Dutton, however, when he began studying religion and became a Catholic.
He learned about Father Damien’s
work in Kalaupapa, and he volunteered there for the next 45 years until
his death in 1931.
Petrie said the statue may aid in
the canonization process, which re-
KANEMITSU BAKERY
islation to make Hawaii a member
state of the Bureau of Reclamation,
which would change our eligibility
and allow us to compete for some of
those dollars.
The nexus between water and
energy is something people understood a couple hundred years ago
but it’s something we’ve gotten
away from. If you think about it,
power plants are usually the biggest consumers of water, and what
water supplies are often the biggest
consumers of electricity. There’s very
little conversation about how to do
both more efficiently. The idea of
pump hydro storage that would allow gravity flow irrigation and hydroelectric power is not a pie in the
sky-- that’s actually how it works on
the mainland. We’re looking at getting serious on that question.
A bunch of studies were done by
HECO [Hawaiian Electric Company]
and MECO almost 20 years ago…
they determined it’s technically totally feasible but the capital expenditure was too high. Maybe that’s
true, but if you’re talking about a
study from 1997 and now we’re paying four times the national average
of electricity, and we’re talking about
giant capital expenditures for energy
infrastructure, maybe the math has
changed. So I’m having a Water Energy Roundtable [this week] with a
bunch of experts and that’s one of
the questions I’m going to start to really dig into… It’s getting dryer, we
have more water needs and we have
water infrastructure from 150 years
ago that hasn’t been significantly rethought.
Q: On Molokai, a discussion
about genetically modified organisms has come to the forefront.
Where do you stand on that?
A: The USDA [Department of
Agriculture] has a role to play to
make sure all crops are safe and the
FDA [Federal Drug Administration]
has a role in enabling consumers to
make choices about what kind of
food they eat. The other challenges
and discussions having to do with
land use are not the federal kuleana.
As far as federal policy and disclosure, I’ve been a strong proponent of
labeling [GMO products].
Q: How can your office help
Molokai residents?
A: I’m not able to come to Molokai as often as I’d like -- what I want
to do is hear from [Molokai residents]
about how federal government can
be of assistance to you. We want to
be as helpful and in touch as possible….I want to convey how much of
a working relationship I would like
this to be. I just worry on a personal
level that I’m 5,000 miles away and
therefore… we don’t think about
working together on a daily basis.
No problem too big or small for you
to reach out to our staff. Let us help
you wherever we possibly can… we
have 20 staff members in HI and 20
in Washington, DC and their whole
job is to help you succeed. But we
can’t do it we know what you need,
so don’t be shy, please reach out.
quires several steps, one of which is
public devotion. And -- if miracles are
documented after prayer for Dutton’s
intercession -- that will start the journey to sainthood.
Perreira originally intended the
statue to be placed in Kalaupapa,
but installation in the National Historic Park requires Congressional approval, which can take years. Petrie
said that’s still the long-term goal for
the statue, but in the meantime, both
residents and visitors can admire the
work of art -- as well as learn about
the man it depicts -- where it now
stands in Kamalo.

Molokai Girl Excels in
Neuroscience
By Robin and Dano Gorsich
Molokai girl Makalele Gorsich
graduated with honors from UH
Hilo on May 11. She earned a BA in
Psychology and an Educational Certificate in Early Childhood Elementary Education. In four years at the
University she achieved a cumulative
grade point average of 4.0. In her Junior and Senior years she was named
as a UH Presidential Scholar, the only
member of her graduating class to
receive this honor. This May she received the Outstanding Psychology
Student of the Year Award, the first
time this award had been bestowed in
a number of years.
Makalele is the daughter of Robin
and Daniel Gorsich of Waialua Valley,
Molokai. She attended Kilohana Elementary school and Molokai Middle
School. She was in the class of 2008
at Molokai High School for one year.
She home schooled for her last three
years and received her GED. Following this she went to Michigan to volunteer at Lou-Helen Baha’i school for
a year. She then returned to Hawaii
Makalele Gorsich in 2006
Island to attend the University of Hawaii at Hilo.
Makalele was in Aunty April Kealoha’s Hula Halau O Kilohana from
the age of 4 in 1994 through age 16.
After graduating from UH Hilo,
she was recommended by her department head and accepted a paid two
year internship at the Laboratory of
Neuropsychology, part of the prestigious National Institute of Mental
Health (NIMH), a division of the National Institute of Health in Bethesda,
Maryland. She is working there now.
After the internship she plans to pursue a PhD in Neuroscience.

KNHP News Release
Joseph Kahee, Pa`oneakai LeeNamakaeha and Ryan Mahiai, employees of the Solid Waste Facility of Kalaupapa National Historical
Park (KNHP), were awarded one of
33 grants across the country in the
amount of $12,500. The funding was
through the Horace M. Albright-Conrad L. Wirth Grant Program at the
National Park Foundation, the official
charity of America’s national parks.
The Albright Wirth Grant Program
supports a wide range of innovative projects that give National Park
Service employees the opportunity
to pursue personal and professional
training experiences.
This group grant was used to
implement a comprehensive “greening” plan for KNHP. One of the core
components of the plan was to lay the
groundwork for an integrated solid
waste management system in Kalaupapa. The proposed “greening” process would produce numerous benefits to the park, including reductions
in traffic, fuel consumption, and air
pollution, while increasing flexibility
in waste handling and disposal.
Grant funds were used to defray
by Doc Mott
most out-of-pocket travel, courserelated costs, and material expenses
for certifications in several training
courses. The employees attended
Compost Facility Operators Training
in Puyallup, WA; OSHA Hazardous
Waste Operations and Emergency
Response Refresher in Kapolei, HI;
Tour de Trash 2013 in the City and
County of Honolulu; EPA Refrigerant
Transition and Recovery Certification
in Kapolei, HI; and RCRA Hazardous/Toxic Waste Management Public
Workshop in Orlando, FL.
The trainings and certifications
acquired through this grant will improve the handling and disposal of
hazardous and solid waste generated
at Kalaupapa. This includes development and encouragement of appropriate alternatives to landfill use,
such as recycling and composting. It
also provides employee certifications
for proper hazardous waste identification and categorization according
to state and federal regulations. The
desired future condition for KNHP
and the community is an integrated
solid waste management system that
results in minimal impacts to the
land, water and people of Kalaupapa.

The Fishpond Cottage:
Propagating Breadfruit
By Joe Kennedy
Breadfruit
is
one of the easiest to
grow, most abundant fruits for the
amount of labor it
takes to thrive. It
can be prepared in
endless ways for
a starch or dessert. Propagation of
the this tree is key for many families
to grow it successfully. The first two
times I tried to propagate breadfruit
were very successful. The next time
was a failure but that was because I
failed to maintain constant moisture.
I think it’s pretty easy for most people
to do this.
First, get the site ready where
you want to grow your new breadfruit trees. Get a piece of material
like a tarp, plastic or large garbage
bag and spread it out on a relatively
smooth surface. It should be able to
drain well, with no water puddling.
Next, cover this with about four
inches of sand. If you collect it from
the beach, don’t worry if there is a little salt left on it. Third, get about half
a quart of lemon or lime juice, more or
less depending on the amount of cuttings you want to make.
Now you’re ready to dig up some
roots. Find a mature breadfruit tree or
ask around if your friends have one.
The easiest way to dig is to use a garden hose and wet the ground where
you think the roots are. Dig around
the circumference of the tree a few
feet away from the trunk where you
think the roots are. Look for roots that
are one inch thick or thicker. Use a lot
of water and try not to nick or damage any part of the roots.
Cut roots that are one inch or bigger into pieces about one foot long
each. Wash the roots, paint them with
the lemon juice, and bury them into
the sand on their side one inch deep.
The key to success is keeping the
sand moist at all times. Little sprouts
will pop through the sand and when
they’re about an inch or two high,
transplant them into a pot or into the
field.
Good luck with the awesome
breadfruit, king of the forest -- one of
God’s greatest gifts.

Lono’s Newest Album
Lono has done it again! In this
new CD, “He Mele Nei,” the seventh
in his Old Style series, Lono continues his journey along the path of
preserving Hawaii’s traditional music, and once again we are blessed to
travel that path with him. The reverence and passion that master musician Lono has for his music clearly
comes through. As we accompany
him while listening to Old Style VII,
we are totally transfixed by his latest gift to us.
Lono is a dedicated artist -- dedicated to his music,
to maintaining the
Hawaiian way, to
showing
respect
and aloha for the
kupuna who have
greatly influenced
his life and his music, and to preserving both vocally and
instrumentally the
Hawaiian heritage
of aumakua and
legends and stories
of Hawaiian culture. His aloha for
the kupuna is especially evident in
the song, “He Mele Mo`omana`o.”
Lono’s inspiration for his Old
Style series comes from his roots in
Hawaiian music. From his mother
gathering the keiki to listen to music and sing the songs, through his
growing up years on Molokai, Lono
was listening to and absorbing the
music of the Hawaiian greats who
came before him. Through his love
and passion for all things Hawaiian,
he is now transforming their messages into contemporary renditions
of the traditional music. Kindy
Sproat, for example, inspired the
music of “Pulupe Nei Ili I Ke Anu”
and of “Olu O Pu’ulani” heard on
this CD.
It is no surprise with Lono’s
amazing talent and versatility that
his music provides a remarkable
range, based on his exceptional
voice as well as his incredible instrumentals. The vastness of Molokai’s music -- and Lono’s music -- is
a most beautiful
expression of the
human spirit. The
magic he works
with his fingers
as he shares his
musical gifts with
us, is to be forever
treasured.
The
instrumentals of
“Ode To Jake,”
“E Ho`i Mai” and
“Aloha
Kakou”
show us not only
Lono’s
dexterity in playing, but
also his heartfelt energy.
Mahalo Lono, this music, truly
coming from your heart, is an inspiration for all. Everyone should have
this CD -- all who appreciate Hawaiian music and Hawaiian culture
must have it, locals and malihini
alike. All of Lono’s CDs have been
recorded, mixed and mastered, and
produced by Lono here on island
as an authentic Molokai product.

Notice to Mo`omomi
Fishermen
Because of the dire state of our
lobster population at Mo`omomi, Hui
Malama O Mo`omomi is asking all
who fish for lobsters at Mo`omomi to
refrain from using lobster nets starting immediately. Other legal methods of harvesting are allowed except
night diving. Overall, night diving
is not allowed at Mo`omomi. If we
can start to police ourselves, then we
won’t need to worry about the state
DLNR making regulations that take
too long to implement or regulations
that may not work for us, as has al-
ready happened on other islands. Be
akamai, be pono for Molokai. Noncompliance will work against us as
stricter laws will be imposed and applied where they might not be necessary.

Music and Memories
On Aug. 8, Anakala Pilipo’s hanai
son, Jason Poole was at Kalele Bookstore for a kani ka pila with some of
our kupuna. This enjoyable public
event was spent in the backyard of
the bookstore as Jason and the kupuna shared stories, songs and hula. After feeding our souls with aloha spirit, we nourished our bodies with the
delicious offerings of local food that
many brought. It was truly a special
time and we all look forward to doing
it again. Mahalo to the following kupuna for sharing their aloha so generously: Uncles Pilipo, Willie, Herb,
John and Reynolds, Aunties Kauwila,
Molly, Julia, Mable, Lottie, Loke, Tiny,
Irene and Merle. Mahalo nui loa also
to DJ and Zelie for accompanying the
kupuna, Jason for coming home to

corrections
Last week’s story “Partnering for
Preservation,” incorrectly stated that
it takes 10 years for a soil particle to
travel from the mountain to the ocean.
That estimate was actually for the time
it takes for a soil particle to be flushed
from the reef once it reaches the ocean.
So if efforts to prevent erosion continue, the reef could potentially become
clearer in 10 years.
In the Aug. 7 issue, “Protecting a
Cultural Legacy” stated that Kapuaiwa Coconut Grove was planted in
1854 by Rudolph Meyer, but the date
is, in fact, unknown.
The Dispatch regrets these errors.
