Judge Orders Hold on GE Enforcement

the Commission to change the agricultural label so that the school wouldn’t have to obtain multiple building permits. The proposed science building will span 4,500 square feet and include two labs with eight total stations, each of which will accommodate up to four students, according to the DOE’s Draft Environmental Assessment, which details the project and its potential impacts on the surrounding community. The building will also feature environmentally friendly aspects such as rooftop solar panels and a nearby rain harvest tank.
federal judge in Honolulu has ordered a temporary hold on enforcement of the moratorium on genetically engineered crops passed by Maui County voters on Nov. 4. Last week, Monsanto and other parties filed a lawsuit against the County of Maui, challenging the moratorium. Judge Barry Kurren granted Monsanto and other plaintiffs in the suit a temporary injunction until Dec. 5. The county stated last week it was preparing to enforce the moratorium pending the Election Officer ’s certification of election results, but the judge’s injunction will put a hold on enforcement until further court action. Injunction is a court order for a party to do, or refrain from doing, specific acts. In this case, it refers to preventing the County of Maui from carrying out enforcement of the GE ordinance. Monsanto and other businesses operating on Molokai, including Mycogen, Friendly Isle Auto Parts, Molokai Chamber of Commerce, Makoa Trucking and Hikiola Cooperative, filed the suit against the County of Maui last Thursday. The lawsuit stated that the moratorium will cause “immediate and traumatic harm to the local economy, and to many individuals who rely on GE crops to support themselves and their families.” It also cites irreparable harm to the seed companies, which have invested millions of dollars in facilities on Maui and Molokai.

MHS One Step Closer to Science Labs By Colleen Uechi | Staff Writer

lowly but surely, Molokai High School (MHS) is making its way toward the science building of school officials’ dreams. Since MHS split from the middle school a decade ago, students have been using classrooms that lack the amenities of a standard high school science lab. Without multiple gas- and water-equipped lab stations, students often have to gather around computers or even a single table to observe experiments. In early 2013, the DOE and school officials began designing a new science building to change all that, and last Wednesday, project planners met another project goal.
The Molokai Planning Commission approved Department of Education (DOE) requests to change land and zoning designations on the area of school property where the DOE wants to build a brand new science facility. The application will now require the approval of the Maui County Council, according to DOE Facility Planner Brenda Lowrey. “It’s kind of like a feeling of relief,” said MHS Principal Stan Hao. “Finally we get some movement on that so our students can have that lab that they really need.” The science building’s proposed location originally overlapped urban and agricultural designated areas. The DOE asked

olokai is far quieter and slower than a battlefield abroad, but for the island’s war veterans, the Friendly Isle is exactly where they want to be. “I’m glad to be home,” said Army veteran Samuel Makaiwi, who served in Iraq. On Nov. 11, residents and veterans gathered in Kaunakakai’s Memorial Park to honor those who dedicated their lives to defending the country. The ceremony included the singing of the national and state anthems, speeches and short musical performances. Maui County Councilmember Stacy Helm Crivello thanked the veterans and the families for their service and sacrifices. Like the biblical prophet Isaiah, she said, veterans, too, responded unselfishly to a call to serve. “When our nation was attacked more than 70 years ago and again just a few years ago, Lady Liberty cried out in her pain and anguish, ‘Whom shall I send?’” Crivello said. “… And you responded.” Organizers set up 18 American flags in remembrance of the 18 Molokai soldiers

who were lost in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Molokai resident David Nanod, a veteran of the Army and National Guard, read these 18 names as Makaiwi rang a bell for each. Doves were released at the end of the service. Molokai resident Lazlo Toth, a Navy veteran who served in Vietnam and Guam, said for him Veteran’s Day is not about himself but more about his father Robert Toth, a
former Marine who spent his 19th birthday at Iwo Jima. “I do it in honor of him,” said the younger Toth. “What I did was insignificant [in comparison].” According to Makaiwi, joint commander of Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans and Molokai’s Veterans of Foreign Wars post, there are approximately 400 veterans on island.

Lowrey said construction of the building will cost a little over $3.5 million, which the state legislature will supply from funds set aside for school science facility upgrades across the state. Raymond Cabebe, a planning consultant on the project, said that the next step involves determining whether the school needs more parking. The campus currently has 108 stalls, though Cabebe said a county analysis determined that MHS and the intermediate school should have 306 total stalls. Building the science labs would require another 16 stalls, since the county requires eight stalls per classroom, Cabebe added. Lowrey said officials are applying for a parking variance to eliminate what they feel would be 214 unnecessary extra stalls. “We’re not anticipating a growth in enrollment because of this building, but we just have to go through this process,” Lowrey said. “We’re hoping that the county understands that Molokai High School doesn’t need more parking.” Cabebe said project officials hope to get on the agenda for the Jan. 8 meeting of the Maui County Board of Variances and Appeals. Officials also decided to cut a proposed wind turbine from the project after it was met from opposition from the community. The original plan proposed the construction of a 45- to 65-foot small-scale
The Molokai DispaTch • Nov 19, 2014 •
wind turbine outside of the classrooms, as an “educational pilot project” that would also provide alternative energy for the building. “Because it is such a controversial topic on Molokai … we just [went] and removed it from the project so we can make sure that the science building can happen,” Hao said. With the wind turbine no longer in the picture, the only community concern was the use of a small, unofficial road that runs through the school’s property. Ho`olehua resident George Aiwohi said at the Planning Commission meeting that both residents and emergency responders use the road, and he worried that future construction would close it down. Hao assured Aiwohi that the school had no plans to fence it off. According to the Draft Environmental Assessment, the project is slated to begin construction “in late 2014” and take approximately one year. The DOE already has a contractor lined up, Lowrey said. However, the county’s verdict on the parking issue could delay the project. Although it’s a lengthy process, Hao is already envisioning the impact the new building could have on both the science program and the campus as a whole. “By having that additional building, it’s gonna free up two other classrooms,” said Hao. “It would allow us to move departments together, so all English could be in an area, all social studies in an area, so it really helps.”

ike most American dads, Samuel Makaiwi spent Father’s Day 2005 with his son. But instead of celebrating it in an aloha shirt at the nearest breakfast joint, he spent it in uniform at a dusty U.S. Army post in Baghdad, Iraq, where both he and his son Tadd were stationed. At 55, Makaiwi could’ve been retired. Instead, he was fighting a war alongside his son. “We were celebrities,” Makaiwi said with a laugh, pointing to a framed newspaper clipping of himself and Tadd in Baghdad. “… Everybody wanted our pictures for papers.” But Makaiwi understood that being deployed with his son meant more than just a photo op. For him, it meant an extra dose of caution. When returning from missions, he looked first for Tadd. “I make sure when I’m going out on my mission, he’s coming in,” Makaiwi said. “I don’t leave until he comes in. … Knowing that my son’s safe, I can really focus on my mission.” Although he’d already been in the military for over 30 years, it was the first time Makaiwi had been deployed abroad. Born and raised on Molokai, Makaiwi grew up milking cows and harvesting vegetables on the family farm. He later moved to Oahu to attend Campbell High School, where he met his wife Darlene. The two were married on May 11, 1970. The next day, the 20-year-old Makaiwi was drafted into the military. He and Darlene never got a honeymoon before he was sent to California for training. Although the Vietnam War was raging, he was never deployed to the South Pacific, and within a few years he was able to return to Molokai and joined the National Guard in 1974. After 30 years and three kids, Makaiwi was deployed to Iraq, along with his only son Tadd. Although Darlene said the Makaiwi boys “looked out for each other,” having a son and a husband overseas was difficult. “I don’t know how to explain it as a mother,” she said. “It was just hard.” The war on terror in the Middle East was a different kind of war,
Makaiwi said. Before, enemies were more easily distinguished. In Iraq, terrorists were hidden amongst civilians. Over a course of 1,800 missions, Makaiwi went into countless villages, searching for enemies that looked like just the opposite. “When you go into homes … they’re all sitting down, and some of them are Iraqis and some of them are terrorists,” he explained. “You gotta [search] everybody ‘cause when you leave one person, he might be the one to kill you.” Makaiwi’s missions took him along a six-mile length of highway known as “Route Irish,” one of the deadliest routes in the Baghdad area. He did eight patrols a day, clearing routes, checking villages and recovering fellow troops in trouble as part of a quick-reaction force (QRF). When a soldier radioed in for help, Makaiwi said, they had just minutes to plot the location and arrive on the scene. “If you recover anyone [in] over 10 minutes, consider them dead,” said Makaiwi, who became so good at his job over two years of deployment that he was awarded for being the “fastest QRF to recover.” These days, the man who was once the U.S. Army’s quickest recovering soldier is retired from the military and enjoying what he calls “Molokai living” again, back home with Darlene. His daughters Tes and Ui live on island and Tadd is a ferry ride away on Maui. Makaiwi speaks animatedly of his experiences in the army, but admits somberly that the events of the battlefield have an even bigger impact on him now that he’s home. “You don’t feel it when you’re there. You just do what you gotta do,” he said. “… But when you come home, then I get time to think about it. That’s when it hits. It hits you hard.” Makaiwi added he also thinks often of the brave men and women he fought with. “A lot of my friends didn’t come out,” he said. “It’s sad. ... I’m thankful we made it.”

The lawsuit argues that the ordinance violates federal, state and local law, and is “directly at odds with decades of settled science and more than 100 federal agency expert scientific determinations.” Mycogen Seeds farms about 420 acres on Molokai, while Monsanto owns or leases 784 acres on Maui and 2,294 acres of farmland on Molokai, according to the suit. “A significant percentage of corn seed planted in the U.S. have originated from Monsanto’s facilities in the County,” states the suit. Friendly Isle Auto Parts claims in the suit it obtains 35 to 40 percent of its sales from GE companies or their employees, while Makoa Trucking states 30 percent of its business is from the GE industry. Hikiola Cooperative claims in the suit that the two seed companies account for about 50 percent of its business. Another plaintiff in the case is a group called Concerned Citizens of

Molokai and Maui, an organization of more than 300 Molokai and Maui residents. Most have spent their entire working lives with Monsanto and are not well-trained or prepared to change industries, the suit claims. It states that the ordinance would cause substantial harm to these individuals, and if the GE moratorium takes effect, almost all would lose their jobs. Meanwhile, a group of five Maui residents involved in the SHAKA Movement which led the Maui County initiative process, also filed a lawsuit against Maui County last week seeking to ensure that the ordinance will be carried out. One day before Monsanto and fellow plaintiffs sued the county, Dr. Lorrin Pang, Mark Sheehan, Lei’ohu Ryder, Bonnie Marsh and Alika Atay filed a lawsuit Wednesday in state court against the county, Monsanto and Dow AgroSciences. The suit states they want to ensure the GE moratorium is implanted in a timely and proper manner, resolve claims that the ordinance is not enforceable, and be included in the implementation of the moratorium.

ormally, high school students operating backhoes on the school’s front lawn would be cause for alarm. However, last Wednesday it was all part of Molokai High School’s Future Fest, a day-long sampling of potential colleges and careers for MHS students. According to Lisa Takata, representatives from over 12 colleges and universities from both Hawaii and the mainland attended the Fest, answering students’ questions on everything from possible majors to athletic scholarships. “Most of them talked about what they need to do to come to school,” said Tammy Fonoimoana, a financial aid counselor at Brigham Young University-Hawaii. “… A lot of questions about sports. There’s a lot of athletes here that are looking to get scholarships and look for ways to help fund their schooling.” Professionals from over 30 different occupations, including over 20 MHS alumni, also shared job experiences with students and offered them hands-on experience. Students were able to interact with
firefighters, tattoo artists, a forensic scientist and more. Senior Codi Kamakana, who hopes to be a mechanic in the future, said he learned a lot and most enjoyed getting to try out the tractor and other heavy operating equipment. Classmate Kahanu Alcon said it prompted him to consider continuing his education. “Before I came to this I never really [thought] about college,” said Alcon. The event also featured special musical performances from Hawaii-based artist Kimie Miner and Molokai band Jus Cuz.

Polynesian Voyaging Society News Thompson, all of whom played imporRelease tant roles in the resurgence of Hawaiian Voyaging canoes Hokule`a and Hikianalia made landfall in Aotearoa (New Zealand) last week and were greeted with traditional Maori welcome ceremonies. When intrepid Hokule`a crewmembers first sailed to Aotearoa 29 years ago using the traditional Polynesian art of non-instrument navigating, they reopened an ancestral route and rekindled the genealogical connection between Hawaiian and Maori. Now, Hokule`a has returned, with its sister canoe Hikianalia, carrying with her many of the original crewmembers, as well as three from Molokai. Mel Paoa, Keoki Pescaia and Mahina Hou Ross were among the Hawaiian crewmembers that were ferried to the shoreline by paddlers of the traditional Maori waka Nga Toki Matawhaorua, and then carried ashore on the shoulders of hosting Maori tribe members of Nga Puhi. The arrival was followed by a p whiri ceremony, a traditional Maori welcome consisting of performances, speeches, singing and beginning with a wero, an aggressive challenge to guests using ceremonial weapons. Following the entry of the Hawaiian contingency into Waitangi Marae, speakers honored the memories of Sir James Tau Henare, Tupinea Puriri, and Myron “Pinky”
and Maori cultures. The top honoree of the event was living legend Hekenukumai Busby, the man largely credited for the rebirth Polynesian voyaging in Aotearoa. “If I can empress on you anything, it’s a deep sense of gratitude… about the 30 years of helping us grow up,” said pwo (master) navigator Nainoa Thompson in honoring Busby. “You have been older brothers and sisters to us in our need to remember who we are by knowing where we come from.” Members of the Molokai crew’s ohana also joined the celebration in Aotearoa. The voyaging canoes departed Pago Pago, American Samoa Oct. 16 to Aotearoa and have sailed approximately 1,500 nautical miles to reach the tip of North Island. Hokule`a’s return to Aotearoa is the first visit to the country since she sailed the Voyage of Rediscovery in 1985, retracing the routes of settlement used by Polynesian ancestors. As a celebration of that rich history, this leg of the Malama Honua voyage has carried the theme, “Na Waka: A Tribe Returning Home.” For more information about the Polynesian Voyaging Society and the Worldwide Voyage, visit www.hokulea. com or find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Google+.

We are both saddened and excited by the prospects that the coming years will bring, as Dr. Morgan moves ahead with his growing career as a veterinarian and returns to the East Coast. Dr. Morgan will be taking on a residency position at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, and will be leaving the island of Molokai at the end of this year. We wish Dr. Morgan the best of luck in his new career, and thank him on behalf of all the animals whose lives he has touched. Moving forward, we are anticipating many changes at the clinic. We ask for the community’s patience while we seek a suitable replacement. We will be limited with the services we are able to offer, but will strive to meet the needs of the island, including once again bringing in visiting vets as
needed. This will be a temporary solution until we are able to hire the right candidate for our island. W h i l e Dr. Morgan is still here, please utilize his services. Keep your animals up to date on exams, vaccinations, preventatives, medication and keep them safely secured to avoid any accidental injuries or illness. We will continue with our spay and neuter program, and our office hours and staff will remain the same during our search for Dr. Morgan’s replacement. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to call at (808) 558-0000 or email us at molokaihumanesociety@gmail.com. If you see Dr. Morgan in passing, please take a moment to express your gratitude for all he has done, and join us in supporting his decision to move on.
Molokai Helps World’s Largest Christmas Project Samaritan’s Purse News Release This month, the Molokai Baptist Church in Ho`olehua will serve as a collection site for Operation Christmas Child—the world's largest Christmas project of its kind. The annual project is a favorite of many Molokai residents, families, churches and groups who help spread God's love to millions of children around the world by filling shoeboxes with toys, school supplies and notes of encouragement. "Operation Christmas Child is a fun project that makes a tangible difference in the life of a child facing difficult circumstances. Anyone can participate, whether young or old," said Molokai Regional Manager Becky Gross. Molokai Baptist Church will be open for collection Nov. 17-24: Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday 9
a.m. to 3 p.m. and Monday 10 a.m. till noon. Through local collection points, Molokai residents hope to contribute more than 580 gift-filled shoeboxes to the 2014 global goal of reaching 10 million needy children. Since 1993, Samaritan's Purse has delivered giftfilled shoeboxes to more than 113 million children in over 150 countries through Operation Christmas Child. For many of these children, a gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received. For more information about how to participate in Operation Christmas Child, call 714-432-7030 or visit samaritanspurse.org. National Collection Week for gift-filled shoeboxes is Nov. 17-24; however, shoebox gifts are collected all year at the Samaritan's Purse headquarters in Boone, North Carolina.

Molokai Fitness: Why Do You Exercise? By Ayda Ersoy Exercise has so many health benefits -- it can improve your posture, decrease stress, help you sleep better, improve your memory, you’ll have more energy, live longer and be happier. Sounds pretty good, right? But many people exercise just to lose weight. That should not be your main reason to exercise. Yes, if you burn more calories in one day than you consume then eventually you will lose weight. But in reality, most people do not achieve and sustain weight loss just through exercise, no matter what they try. So do you want to lose weight temporarily? Or do you want to be healthy and at your ideal weight permanently? If you do the correct exercises regularly then yes, you can increase muscle mass. But if you don’t support this with the correct nutrition then you’ll lose everything that you gained. If you’re doing exercise because you want to lose weight, unfortunately you are on the wrong path. You should look closely at your diet. What types of foods are you choosing? Are you eating enough foods with good nutritional value? Do you eat the correct food after your workout? Think about it: if you are going to a party and you know there will be amazing food there that you want to enjoy, what do you do before? Maybe you go
to the gym to try and burn a few extra calories? Or maybe you miss one meal, so you can eat more when you’re there? When you exercise with the purpose of losing weight you are doing the same thing -- exercise more, eat more, you want to go to the gym regularly so that you deserve to eat more…. Does that sound familiar? A very recent scientific study said: "In many interventions that are based on an exercise program intended to induce weight loss, the mean weight loss observed is modest and sometimes far less than what the individual expected. The individual responses are also widely variable, with some individuals losing a substantial amount of weight, others maintaining weight, and a few actually gaining weight." Your health is much more important than just how much you weigh. Exercise is far more important for your health than just reducing your weight. Do your exercise for your soul, for your health. And most importantly, combine it with a nutritious, healthy diet. Try and find a type of exercise that you like, so that you’ll enjoy it and you can stick to it. Exercise will give you confidence, joy and it will help you connect with yourself. You are doing something just for yourself! And you are the only expert for your body -- only you can really know what’s best!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Someone on Reddit.com posed the question, "What have you always been curious to try?" In reply, many people said they wanted to experiment with exotic varieties of sex and drugs they had never treated themselves to before. Other favorites: eating chocolate-covered bacon; piloting a plane; shoplifting; doing a stand-up comedy routine; hang-gliding and deep-sea diving; exploring the Darknet and the Deep Web; spontaneously taking a trip to a foreign country; turning away from modern society and joining a Buddhist monastery. What would your answer be, Aries? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to explore what you have always been curious to try. The risks will be lower than usual, and the results more likely to be interesting.
In 33 years, he has only finished 25 minutes' worth of The Overcoat, which is based on a story by Nikolai Gogol. But I predict that he will complete this labor of love in the next eight months -- just as many of you other Virgos will finally wrap up tasks you have been working on for a long time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "Every saint has a bee in his halo," said philosopher Elbert Hubbard. Similarly, some Libras have a passive-aggressive streak hidden beneath their harmony-seeking, peace-loving persona. Are you one of them? If so, I invite you to express your darker feelings more forthrightly. You don't have to be mean and insensitive. In fact, it's best if you use tact and diplomacy. Just make sure you reveal the fact that there is indeed a bee in your halo. I bet you will ultimately be pleased with the consequences you stir up through your acts of courageous honesty. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many people use the terms "cement" and "concrete" interchangeably, but they are not the same. Cement is powdery stuff that's composed of limestone, gypsum, clay with alumino-silicate, and other ingredients. It's just one of the raw materials that is used to make concrete -- usually no more than 15 percent of the total mass. The rest consists of sand, crushed stone, and water. Let's regard this as a good metaphor for you to keep in mind, Scorpio. If you want to create a durable thing that can last as long as concrete, make sure you don't get overly preoccupied with the "cement" at the expense of the other 85 percent of the stuff you will need.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Contrary to popular opinion, crime fiction author Arthur Conan Doyle never once had his character Sherlock Holmes utter the statement "Elementary, my dear Watson." For that matter, Humphrey Bogart never actually said "Play it again, Sam" in the film Casablanca. Star Trek's Captain Kirk never used the exact phrase "Beam me up, Scotty." Furthermore I, Rob Brezsny, have never before issued the following prophecy: "Deep sexy darkness and deep sexy brilliance are conspiring to bring you Tauruses intriguing pleasures that will educate the naive part of your soul" -- until SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "Whatever returns from now, that is. At this juncture in the ever-twisting plot of your oblivion returns to find a voice," writes Louise Glück in her life story, I am most definitely saying just that. poem "The Wild Iris." I think that will be a key theme for you the coming weeks. There's a part of you that is returning GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here are some thoughts from in oblivion -- making its way home from the abyss -- and Gemini author Fernando Pessoa: "The feelings that hurt most, from will be hungry to express itself when it arrives back here in the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd -- the ityour regularly scheduled life. This dazed part of you may not longing for impossible things; nostalgia for what never was; yet know exactly it wants to say. But it is fertile with the desire for what could have been; regret over not being the unrulywhat it has gathered while wandering. Sooner someone else." Can you relate, Gemini? Have you felt those rather thanwisdom later, it will discover a way to articulate its raw feelings? Here's the good news: In the coming weeks, you truths. will be more free of them than you have been in a long time. What will instead predominate for you are yearnings for very CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): "There is no revenge so possible things and contentment with what's actually avail- complete as forgiveness," said American humorist Josh Billable to you.

And one of the best ways to do you can do in the coming weeks is learn how to take care of that will be to let go of as much blame and rage and hatred as yourself better. What? You say you're too busy for that? You you possibly can. Forgiveness can be your magic spell. have too many appointments and obligations? I disagree.

Veterans Corner By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. Could foam help stop troops from bleeding to death on the battlefield? A new product developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency could possibly treat wounds not easily staunched by conventional methods. A polymer foam would be injected into the patient as a liquid and expand to 30 times its volume, while gently cradling the injury site and vital organs. It was shown in tests to reduce blood loss six-fold and increase survival rate at three hours post-injury to 72 percent, compared with eight percent survival rate with the control group. According to DARPA, the agency plans to pursue the Wound Stasis program until a prototype receives Food and Drug Administration approval. If testing bears out the technology could affect up to 50 percent of potentially survivable battlefield wounds, DARPA program manager Brian Holloway said. I hope that everyone did well with the last question, which was, “Liliuokalani, Hawaii’s last queen, wrote what popular song?” The answer is “Aloha Oe.” The new question is “The pua aloalo, Hawaii’s lovely state flower, is actually a common garden shrub known by what name?” This date in history, Nov. 19, 1997, Bobbi McCaughey gave birth to seven children, the second known set of septuplets to be born alive, in Des

Moines, Iowa. On Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy is assassinated while riding in a motorcade in Dallas. In 1920, the first U.S. commercial radio station is established in Pittsburgh. In 1934, animator Walt Disney introduces a new character in the cartoon “Little Wise Hen.” The character is neither wise nor a hen, but an ill-tempered duck named Donald. Reliving the death of a loved one may help people with prolonged grief disorder, a new study suggests. Exposure therapy, as this approach is called, appears to help survivors struggling with prolonged grief better than another type of therapy alone. Patients in the study had four individual sessions where they either relived the experience of their loved one’s death or had behavioral therapy and could talk about whatever they liked. After six months the researchers found that the exposure therapy participants showed greater improvement in prolonged grief disorder, depression and social functioning than those who had behavioral therapy alone. To all our active duty military personnel, Molokai says mahalo for all you do for us. To our veterans, I hope that you feel that all of Molokai feels grateful to you for all you have done for us; all your sacrifices we are thankful for. Mahalo, veterans. If anyone has any questions, suggestions for news please give old Jesse a call at 553-3323. I continue to depend on all the information you give me. Have a wonderful week, and please remember that old Jesse loves you all dearly. Aloha.

Veterans Thanks
Mahalo, Molokai
The Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans and Veterans of Foreign Wars organization honored our veterans on Veterans Day at the Kaunakakai Memorial Park, thanks to our great community. Thanks to our County Parks and Recreation for the bleachers with the County Highways tent; Ui Boswell's tent for our speakers; our guest speaker, Councilwoman Stacy Crivello; Sherman Napoleon for the PA system; the beautiful voices of Kanani and Precious with
Sometimes in order to achieve your goals and dreams you have to travel to a place you’ve never been before. It’s with that same principle that I packed two large suitcases, stuffed full with summer gear, and purchased a one-way ticket to Molokai, Hawaii, arriving at the start of April. From then on my time was spent developing relationships with sources, reporting on topics ranging from climate change in the Kalaupapa settlement to farm volunteering and the state’s Primary Election, and finding myself. At The Molokai Dispatch, I learned the importance of citizen journalism in a tight-knit community, but more importantly the great impact news has on a community. Each Wednesday morning, I had the pleasure of talking story with four uncles perched outside of Friendly Market, waiting patiently for their hand-delivered newspaper, and keeping me laughing with jokes week after week. As the months passed, I experienced hospitality like never before from strangers who quickly became friends. This spirit of aloha took me on adventures such as fly-fishing with Captain Clay Ching, swimming in the
our National and Hawaiian anthem; Alex Bishaw with our pule; our music with Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Kelly; the colorful pigeons of Clarence and Diane Adachi; and much mahalo to The Store House for all the pastries, treats and drinks after our program. And most of all, mahalo to all our veterans, past and present, for your sacrifices and services. Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans
Life-Saving at Paddlers The staff at Paddlers Inn would like to thank the first responders of Molokai for the professionalism they brought last week when they came quickly to revive and save the life of a staff member who was hit with a sudden cardiac crisis. A police officer arrived in minutes and his skill and training with his defibrillator machine saved a life. The next arriving officers took control and were a welcome sight. Captain Jenkins with the fire department and EMTs arrived moments later and stabilized treatment, while the patient was transferred to the hospital. These events happen suddenly and
it is vital that someone has some training on the work premise to apply CPR in the first seconds. Earl Gorton was able to bring CPR immediately and made possible a complete recovery of the patient. We are also lucky to have police trained to deliver the defibrillator paddles. Work places of all sizes should think about contacting Captain Jenkins and organize some current training in CPR. Being able to start CPR in seconds may be the difference in the survival of a good friend.

Halawa Valley waterfalls with Laura Pilz and Noa Kalanihuia, paddling with the Wa`akapaemua Canoe Club, and sleeping on the beach under the stars while camping with the gang. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow as a journalist and have so much pride in what I’ve accomplished at the Dispatch. Living some place new takes a lot of guts, energy, patience and determination, but in the end it’s worth it. I wouldn’t trade my time on Molokai for anything else in the world. A big mahalo to Uncle Glenn Davis, Ric Ornellas, Diane Mokuau, the Pactol family, Joe Kennedy, Mark Miller, the Dispatch crew and everyone else who turned my initial “culture shock” into an appreciation for the values and cultural practices. I’m not one for goodbyes; they’re too final. There’s nothing “good” about leaving a place and the friends you love. It’s been a joy writing for you, Molokai.

Supporting a Vision As a follow-up to Joe Kennedy’s astute and sensitive vision (“Preparing for a Possible Crisis,” in the Nov. 5 issue), and as a teacher of 30 years, one idea for a supportive continuum may involve gathering a team to map out a master plan to visit the aina. The team could consist of your colleagues, Molokai High and Community College agri-bound students, earning practicum credits, as well as from your experiential years of agri-knowledge. You could share your thoughts regarding defining soil content, sun exposure, average expected rainfall, other waters sources, organic preparedness of the soil, best areas of the property to grow types of crops that would help
Majority of “no” votes on the Maui County initiative came from Molokai backed with Lanai, only to be overpowered by “yes” votes from Maui. Maui always had us by a leash or a noose and feeds us croutons and bread crumbs. Enough is enough. Throw them in salads and meatloaf and it’s time for Molokai to get together and talk story. We have our own county, Kalawao. Why not vote to join it? Molokai people are akamai and have plenty gifts and talent. Jobs are no problem with plenty of Ag land. Start organic farms poultry farms and grow sustainable crops like taro sweet potato. Bring back our hotels so they could be used as kama`aina
hotels for reunions, family luaus, St. Damien and St. Marianne pilgrimages, retreats, canoe races, community functions or those who want to learn and experience hand on the Hawaiian culture. People could open up restaurants and other small business that are only available on other islands. No need McDonalds or Walmart. It's time for us to wipe our own okoles, feed and dress ourselves and clean up our own messes. Molokai is growing up and it knows how and when to say yes or no. Let it speak for itself. Kalawao County now! Mark Aquino

In the Nov. 5 issue, the story “Lightning Strikes Twice” should have stated that a little more than 10,000 students across the country applied for the Nordstrom Scholarship, not 45,000. In the Nov. 12 issue, in “Lanterns That Carried Prayers,” lantern retrieval was done by members of the Molokai Canoe Racing Association, with volunteers from all four island canoe clubs, rather than just Wa`akapaemua Canoe Club. The Dispatch regrets the errors.
