FARMERS REPEAT AS
MIL CHAMPS By Rick Schonely | Sports Reporter
I
t was Thursday night under the lights of War Memorial Stadium in Kahului, Maui last Thursday. The Molokai High School eight-man football team was ready to face off with arch rival Seabury Hall for the biggest game of the season, the Maui Interscholastic League Championships. “Seabury put together a great game plan and came at us with some new formations that took a while for us to adjust to," said Head Coach Mike Kahale. "We found ourselves down 12-0 after an early score and turnover. I knew that if we kept our composure and did not panic that we would be able to overcome.” After a nail-biter first quarter, the Farmers did indeed overcome, and got back on track to take a 19-12 lead at halftime. The running game was in full gear for Molokai as they had 346 yards rushing with Hauoli Caparida leading the way with 143 yards on 15 carries and two touchdowns. Braiden Asuncion ran the ball 10 times for 138
yards. Quarterback Jayden DudoitTabilangan threw for one touchdown and ran for three more. Defense was the key is this game as the Farmers played well and had a crucial goal line stand in the second half that was a key point in the game. Molokai won the game 45-25 to repeat at MIL Champions. The Farmers, 5-0, have won 11 straight games and captured their second title since restarting football here just a few years ago. Senior Jershon Kaalekahi, in his first year of HS football and fresh off a 13th place state finish in Air Riflery, had a key defensive play as he intercepted a short throw over the middle and ran it all the way to the end zone for a 50 yard touchdown. "I have always loved playing football, and to have the opportunity to play for Molokai High my senior year was a treat," said Kaalekahi. "To be MIL champs just made it even sweeter. It was an exciting season, especially that championship game. And even though we faced adversity, we came together as a team and came out on
top." Kahale had words of praise for senior captain Dudoit-Tabilangan. "[He] led the team downfield throwing a 10 yard strike to Shraedon Naeole-Starkey for our first score and then followed up with a quarterback sneak, and bootleg run for the next two scores,” said Kahale of the struggle early in the game. “Our boys had to dig deep as this was a game in which they were truly tested. They showed resilience and never gave up." Kahale said the team's defensive stand in the third quarter where Seabury had a firstand goal inside the five was huge, changing the momentum in the Farmers' favor. Senior lineman Nainoa BishawMokiao, who plays on both offense and defense like many of his teammates, helped lead his team to victory. “The championship we won on Thursday night... wasn't just us players and coaches relaxing and not putting in work -- it took hard work, dedication, and sacrifice," he said after the

eneral Election Day is approaching on Tuesday, Nov. 8. Your vote is your voice and one of the most powerful forces to shape the future by electing a representative government who will make decisions which affect you, your family and your community. On this year's ballot, Molokai voters will choose the new U.S. President, U.S. Senator and Representatives, State Representative, Office of Hawaiian Affairs Trustees and Maui County Councilmembers. The Presidential frontrunners, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, have divided the country in a historic battle, leaving many voters disenchanted with the election process. However, even if you choose not to vote for one of those candidates, there are three other choices you can select from on the ballot. Hawaii does not allow write-in votes. One of the most contested seats on Molokai is the Maui County Council Molokai representative seat, for which incumbent Stacy Helm Crivello and hopeful Keani Rawlins-Fernandez will both appear on the ballot. Molokai's Office of Hawaiian Affairs trustee seat was already selected as Colette Machado in the Primary Election due to a majority vote rule. Along with this year's General Election candidates, several amendments to the State Constitution and Maui County Charter will also be voted upon. Voting can be confusing, and seeing the ballot for the first time at the polls can be overwhelming if you’re not prepared. So to help you get ready for this year’s General Election, the Dispatch has compiled a Molokai sample ballot for your review on page 3. What: 2016 General Election When: Tuesday, Nov. 8 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. If you can’t make it to the polls, early walk-in voting on Molokai is being held at the Mitchell Pauole Center between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. (closed 12 to 1 p.m.) Monday to Friday and 8 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturday, until Saturday, Nov. 5. Where: Check your voter registration card that was mailed to you or visit Hawaii.gov/elections to get your precinct location. Polling places on Molokai are: Kilohana Community Center, Kaunakakai School Cafeteria, Kualapu`u Community Center, Maunaloa Community Center or Kalaupapa Settlement Hall. Who: You must be a registered Hawaii voter to cast your ballot. If you haven't yet registered, you can complete late registration during early walk-in voting, see above. What to bring to the polls: A valid photo I.D. with signature, such as a Hawaii driver’s license or state I.D. card. How: When voting in the General Election, you can cast your vote for any candidate, regardless of party affiliation. You can only vote for one candidate in each contest. On this ballot, you can also vote "yes" or "no" on several amendments to the State Constitution and Maui County Charter. Review both sides of your ballot before voting. Fill in the box completely to the left of your choice. Visit hawaii.gov/elections or call 270-7749 for more information.
WALKING IN HER SHOES By Catherine Cluett Pactol | Editor

olokai police officers, donning pink shirts, squeezed their feet into high heels and hobbled down the wharf to downtown Kaunakakai. Though there was a lot of laughter -- and groans of pain -- the cause was more serious: raising awareness for breast cancer and domestic violence -- both commemorated during the month of October. The march, called Walk Awhile in Her Shoes, honored the struggles of women facing a variety of hardships,
and policemen were joined in the effort by community members. The event was hosted by the Domestic Violence Task Force under Child and Family Services (CFS). Charity Dudoit of CFS said the Molokai walk -- held for the first time this year -- was inspired by an international event called "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" in which men march to raise awareness for sexual violence. "Because the uniqueness of Molokai and because it is also Breast Cancer

Why I fly with Makani Kai “The environment is local and welcoming, and it never fails me,” says Nikayla, a senior majoring in Outdoor Recreation Management at Utah Valley University, “and it’s affordable, which is important when you’re a student.” Kamalani chimes in, “The staff is really friendly, there’s free parking and no security.” Kamalani, a business major at Honolulu Community College who flies with us at least once a week, also is minoring in fashion design. She says, “I love Makani Kai and the pilots are the best.”

his year's fifth annual Oktoberfest held at the Arce's Farm in Ho`olehua drew the community for some fall fun last Saturday. Keiki picked out pumpkins and posed for hay bale photos with scarecrows, while fam-
ilies shopped for lunch and crafts at the vendor booths. Deer on the homestead devoured all their homegrown pumpkins this year, but the Arces shipped in a replacement load on the barge so keiki could still carve out the holidays on Molokai.
Cross Country End Season at States By Rick Schonely | Sports Reporter
T
he Molokai HS Boys and Girls Cross Country teams were represented at this year’s State Championships at Hawaii Prep Academy on Hawaii Island. Three boys a one girl qualified to run at the event. Jake Samaniego was the top finisher for the Farmers as he came in 46th out of 200 runners with a time of 19:46. Kaina Adolpho finished in 148th place (21:17) and Karter Kester was 189th (22:11). Cameryn Kahalewai was the only girl from Molokai to run and she finished in 186th place with a time of 27:59. Keeya Bicoy-Juario traveled with the team as an alternate. Boys Head Coach Mahina Hou Ross, in his 17th year as head coach, enjoyed this year’s team. “The boys ran a good race on a real tough course," he said. "Jake finished his career with a good race and the rest of the boys look forward to next year.”
Ross' daughter was also running in the race. “My daughter Keaheakekehau Ross was the top Molokai finisher running for Kamehameha Schools Kapalama," he said. "She finished 27th in the girls race.” Girls Head Coach Eugene Santiago, who is retiring as head coach this year, also was happy with his team. “The best part about retiring is ending with one of our girls qualifying for states," he said. "With that I am very grateful, proud and hopeful that our athletic program and its leadership will continue to strive with excellence in all their endeavors. Mahalo to all who have supported our program and cheered us on during all of our meets.” Santiago is thankful for "a wonderful experience" coaching, and says mahalo to his wife, athletic director Lee DeRouin and assistant coach Kabbie Bicoy-Juario.
Shooter Ranks 13th in State By Rick Schonely | Sports Reporter

olokai senior air riflery marksman Jershon Kaalekahi was the top shot from Maui County and finished in 13th place overall at last week’s Air Riflery State Championships on Oahu. Kaalekahi, a three time state qualifier, shot his personal best with a combined score of 522, placing 13th out of 60 competitors and the top marksman from the MIL. Head Coach Chinky Hubbard, along with his assistant coach Keith Imakyure, was proud of his marksman. “I'm totally stoked on Jershon's performance," said Hubbard. "His hard
work and determination paid off, putting him at the top of all MIL competitors. His score of 522 surpassed his expectations. Jershon is a great contender and represented Molokai well.” Kaalekahi, who also played football for Molokai, said he will miss shooting. "I want to thank my coaches for pushing me to be better every day, while still keeping things fun," he said. "I still can't believe that my season's actually over and it's been an exciting four years of shooting. I am happy with my final performance, but a little sad that this is the end. I am a Farmer for life!"
HOPE, DREAM, DO!
he Molokai Girls Volleyball team made its first appearance at the Division II State Volleyball Tournament since 2010. They won their first match against Kohala (23-25, 25-17, 25-23, 19-25, 15-5). Shaelyn McCutcheon had 11 kills, Precious Rawlins had 15 digs and 23 assists and Brooke Keliihoomalu and Taye Mowat had nine kills each. Sejah Pedro added eight kills and Mary-Rose Ringor had nine digs and Mary-Grace Ringor added 13 assists. In their next match, the Lady Farmers facednumber one seed Hawaii Baptist and lost in three sets (258, 25-4, and 25-12). Molokai then faced Waianae in the consolation bracket and lost in two sets (25-12 and 25-8). A win in their first game back at
States since 2010 was a great result and Molokai finishes the season 10-5. Head Coach Mahea Rawlins was excited for her team. “It's been a great experience for both the girls and coaches at states," said Mahea Rawlins. "The competition is very good in the state tournament and I think girls had fun and gained a lot of experience about the game more from this week.” Rawlins is also looking ahead to next season. “There's only room for many improvements and the off-season is where the work begins," she said. "I'm very proud of my team and their accomplishments. They've worked hard to be here at state tournament." Molokai loses only two seniors from this year ’s team so the future is bright for the Lady Farmers.

one of the best games I have played and it was nice being tested... I’m just glad we earned the privilege for the rest of our lives say we are back-toback MIL Champions!” Closing the season with a decisive win, Kahale is thrilled with the team's performance. "I am so proud of our boys for how they responded to adversity and continued to fight," he said. "They showed that they had the heart of champion. I could not feel any prouder. I want to thank my coaching staff for pouring into the lives of these young men and our Molokai community for their continued support.”

WALK Continued From pg. 1 Awareness month, we decided to change it a bit by combining and supporting both issues and making it our own," said Dudoit. "It follows the saying or idea that one cannot understand another person's experience until you've walked in their shoes." Annette Colipano English is a domestic violence survivor who recently joined the CFS task force to offer support to others. "When I went through [domestic violence], there wasn't any place to go, I felt stuck," she said. "The women's shelter didn't exist then [in the '70s]."

Next up for Teams 434 in off-island competitions are the Lahaina VEX IQ Tournament on Nov. 11 and the Valley Isle VEX IQ Tournament on Dec. 10, both on Maui. Also up on Molokai is the Molokai VEX IQ League on Oct. 22, Nov. 19, Dec. 17, and Jan. 14 at Molokai Middle School.
Unfair Election Exclusion? We believe that our candidate for Molokai/Lanai seat for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs has been excluded. Members of the Alapai Hanapi camp visited the State Capital to find out the print out for the OHA elections. We had made contact with Maui County Office of Elections and were told that Alapai Hanapi was still in the race for the Molokai/ Lanai OHA seat. We called Oahu and were told "we do not know and can not depend on the information print out." We called Hawaii Island and were told to call OHA. We would like to congratulate incumbent Trustee, Collette Pi`i Pi`i Machado. Running for an office that she has had for 20 years, even with critical health conditions, is both astounding and admirable. I have to say that conflicting statements between the election committees and OHA makes me wonder about election policies and procedures and whether they are constitutional. Our particular race, (Hanapi, Flowers and Machado) had three candidates in the Primary election. That is where the conflict begins. The elections office puts out statements that seem to use mathematic magic instead of the will of the people. Remember, this is a Primary election not the General election. First, that tells you that this is only a partial vote casting election not a total. Common sense says that if there are three candidates, the candidate with the lowest votes is eliminated and the two sustaining candidates

go on to the General Election, giving everybody else that didn't or couldn't vote in the Primary, a chance to finish the process. That is democracy! The Primary takes away that democratic vote from the majority of the population. Now I'm just a common man with common sense based upon common constitutional law. But I object strongly to the State of Hawaii's Office of Elections governing paperwork that refers to the "Election of Island Resident Trustee" (OHA elections), where the third statement says, "if a candidate receives a majority of the votes cast, excluding blank and other votes, then the candidate is deemed elected." This sounds like a General Election statement and policy, not for the Primary. The following statement says, "otherwise the two candidates receiving the most votes will appear on the General Election ballot." This makes legal and democratic sense! I strongly object to the "math magic" policy and support the fact that everybody who did not or could not vote in the Primary was denied their Democratic right to vote for their choice which could, and in my case would have, made a difference in the outcome through the General Election. Nuff said! I sincerely thank my wife, family, friends and all the citizen voters who believe in me. I also apologize to the voters who were holding their vote for me until the General Election. You were denied your constitutional right of choice!

nant and nearing her due date -- she used the last $20 to buy diapers and other essentials. When her husband came home, asked for the money and she explained what she'd used it for, he pulled out a rifle, charged it and pressed the barrel to her belly. She managed to escape and later saved up enough money for a plane ticket to stay with family off-island. She said even though more resources and support exist on Molokai today for women in similar situations, she doesn't feel domestic violence has decreased on the island. She holds support groups for young women, helping them to recognize early signs of abusive relationships. She said she hopes events like this will help raise awareness in the community, especially among police officers. Last Friday's walk started from the Ice House and concluded in front of the Molokai Public Library, where a sign holding further brought awareness to domestic violence on the island.

MMS STEM Robotics News Release Molokai Middle School's Team Kalo brought home two trophies in robotics from the 2016 Hawaii VEX IQ Pan Pacific Championships. They earned the STEM Research Project Award and Trophy, as well as the Inspire Award and Trophy. The event was held on Oct. 7-9 at Kamehameha Schools Kapalama. The championship was an international event and featured teams from around the Pacific rim including Hawaii, California, Taiwan, China and British Columbia. Ninety-one teams from the VEX and VEX IQ divisions attended, with winners qualifying for State and World Championships. Molokai Middle School’s 434K Team Kalo and 434M Team Menehune both attended the event. Team Kalo featured captain Maya Lima, Driver Leonaka Burrows, and STEM Presenter Yheslie Valete. Team Menehune featured captain Kamalu Kaawa-Richardson, driver Kaiakea Dudoit, and STEM Presenter Mili Bicoy. This year’s VEX IQ Challenge is Crossover, a game in which robots are operated to transport five-inch plastic hexballs across the playing field to the opposite side and stack them in shelves representing goals at three different elevations, all within one minute’s time. To learn more, view the video at this link: bit.ly/2dV2Npm.. Students compete in three different events with their robots: 1. Teamwork (two robots operated by four drivers from two teams); 2. Driver Skills (one robot operated by two drivers from one team); and 3. Programming Skills (one robot from one team operated autonomously by computer programming). In addition to these robot-operation events, teams also compete in STEM Project Presentations and other awards such as Design, Create and Inspire. In the end, Teams 434 came away

Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. There is a nonprofit organization called K9s for Worriors based in Ponte Vedra, Florida that pairs trained service dogs with veterans suffering from PTSD. They are our nation's largest provider of service dogs for our veterans, and they pair 192 veterans and dogs every year. The organization's goal is to reduce the number of veteran suicides, which has become a tragic epidemic in the U.S. with on average of 20 veterans taking their own lives each day, according to a 2014 study by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The study also found that veterans have a 21 percent greater risk of suicide than civilians. The organization strongly believes that providing veterans with trained dogs are helping veterans to over come the trauma and horrors of war, said Shari Duvai the founder of K9s for Warriors, after her son was diagnosed with PTSD. Most of the veterans that they see have tried countless things to manage their PTSD, wrote Samantha Epstein, the spokesperson for K9s for Warriors. Many of the veterans are overmedicated, cannot go out in crowds, and are struggling with suicidal thoughts, which is a very bad mixture. Believe it or not, the average veteran is on 10 to 15 medications when they enter the program, and 92 percent see those medications reduced or eliminated afterward, according to organization's statistics. Seventy-three percent report improved health after receiving their dog, and I believe that to be a truly
remarkable percentage. K9s for Warriors get 95 percent of its dogs from high kill shelters, according to its website. The dogs must be at least 50 pounds and two feet tall at the shoulder and have no aggressive tendencies. They trained before they meet their veteran partners. According to Epstein, the dogs must pass three stages: first they are taught basic obedience commands, and social manners, they then learn how to perform tasks like fetching items, and third, the most advanced training stage exposes the dogs to public high stress situations and more rigorous obedience commands. “In essence the dog is saved, then the dog saves the veteran,” Epstein wrote in a press release. The veteran must make a trip to Florida to be matched with a dog, and first they undergo 36 hours of training. Unknown to the veterans, they were being observed by staff members to pair them with the appropriate dog. Then veteran and dog meet for the first time and begin training together. The veteran learns how to give commands to the dog, and how the dog is trained to react to situations, and what the dog expects from his veteran, and how to properly take care of the dog. Then for the next two weeks the partners get to know each other, and start going out in public to parks and shopping malls, under the watchful eye of a professional dog handler. Please everyone get out and vote on Tuesday, use your vote wisely. If anyone wants to talk story give old Jesse a call at 553-3323. Remember old Jesse loves Molokai and its people, every man, women, and child from the heart, you are my family. Aloha and mahalo.

LETTERS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
Future for a Molokai Ferry After nearly 30 years of operation, the ferry is ending service. When the federal Department of Transportation granted Makani Kai and Mokulele Airlines $4.5 million to encourage service to rural airports on Molokai and Hawaii Island, they did not realize the implications towards Molokai’s other carrier, the Molokai Ferry. At this point in time, a heavily PUC regulated ferry cannot compete against unregulated and subsidized air carriers. So what possibilities are there for the future? The best option is for Maui County or the state to own a ferry system between Molokai and Lanai. A publicly owned system does not fall under PUC jurisdiction and would be able to, quickly adjust schedules and fares according to the needs of the community. Our state or county government would own the system and could contract a private company to operate it. This is done with county bus systems throughout the state. The City and County of Honolulu has done exactly
this in the past by contracting Hornblower Cruises to operate the ferry from Barber ’s Point to Honolulu Harbor. Maybe Sea Link would be contracted or maybe some other company. But it needs to be done. This arrangement is proven and easy to do. Providing access to public transportation is a basic obligation our government should provide. The federal DOT bankrolled air carrier expansion has caused the ferry to fail. Now the state or the county needs to reinstate the ferry service. Governor Waihee was correct when he thought Molokai needed a ferry to Maui back in 1987. It is still needed especially for school groups and athletic competitions. Citizens of Molokai, speak with a calm, clear, and united voice and you will be heard by your government. Mahalo, Capt. Dave Jung

Stacy is Committed to Our Well-Being Stacy Helm Crivello and I learned the power of native plants to heal illness under Hawaiian healer La`au Lapa`au Pap Henry Auwae. She knows first hand that well-being for our families and `ohana on Molokai and Maui Nui is rooted in the health of our lands and ocean. She's helped get resources for our community health center and dialysis in Hana, funding for veterans and youth.
But most important, living here and raising her family on Molokai, I know that Stacy is committed to the holistic wellbeing of our families. That's why I will vote for Stacy Helm Crivello for Maui County Council and I ask Aloha, Robert “Bobby” Alcain Organic farmer

There is now less than a week to go until Election Day. The contest which has received the most media coverage by far is the race for U.S. President. In Hawaii, one of only nine states which does not allow voters to “write-in” a choice for president, we will still have five different individuals to chose from. For me the choice is easy and clear. We have a U.S. Senate seat being contested and our U.S. Congressperson is also up for re-election. OHA has two positions on the ballot. Our Maui County Council has all nine seats being challenged for the first time in many years. In these races, we are limited to a choice of two. The other very important race we will chose is our State House of Representative for District 13, which covers all of Molokai, Lanai, Molokini, Kaho`olawe and the North shore/East Maui communities from Pa`ia through Hana to Kaupo. It is the only “canoe” district left in our 51 seat legislature. The issues impacting Molokai are different than those of Lanai. On Maui, Pa`ia, with its small town character, is in stark contrast to the very rural areas further East in Kaupo.
As a candidate for State Representative, District 13, we need a representative who has the intellectual capabilities and community involvement necessary to deal with the diverse needs of each region. Having traveled around the world, visiting all 50 states and 50 different countries, has given me a global and universal perspective which are essential when deciding crucial issues and the direction we are heading. Having the vision and critical thinking are also important attributes. The numerous academic credentials I have acquired over the years, including a Masters degree in Public Law/Urban Affairs, a B.A. in Political Science, certificates in mediation, facilitation and legal research will allow me to have an immediate impact. Plus we need the county and/or state to keep the ferry operating! I hope you put your faith and trust in me when you step into the voting booth. Your children and their children are counting on you. Mahalo for your support, Nick Nikhilananda Candidate for State Representative, Dist. 13
Mahalo for Pool Budget We wanted to take a moment to publicly thank all those on the Maui County Council who voted to amend the FY14 Budget of the Department Dept. Parks and Rec Aquatics Program which kept our Molokai community Cooke Memorial Pool in the budget and open on holidays and weekends. Here on Molokai, we have a great facility and probably one of the few 25 meter public pools in the state, but many of us remember that time when staffing that pool had become a challenge and the County was looking to trim its budget. The pool had inconsistent hours, and it was hard to figure out when it would be open. We are just some of those in the community who continue to use the pool for low impact exercise that is easy on the joints and to manage one or more health conditions, so any drop in services can be a concern. And there are many families that use it just to get away from the heat. In
any case, holidays and weekends often turn out to be when we all need it the most. So it was an important vote to us regulars at Cooke Memorial. And we want to say a special thanks to our Molokai Council Rep. Stacy Helm Crivello, who not only voted to keep the Molokai pool in the budget, but also advocated to bring back the fulltime lifeguard position to Molokai. Because of that, the pool is staffed again and busy as ever. Mahalo to our hard-working pool staff: Jaia, Kaleo and Tabitha who keep it open and keep it safe. Mahalo also to Parks Director Ka`ala Buenconsejo, Deputy Director Brianne Savage, and Peter Pale, District Supervisor for overseeing our local parks. Your work has meant a lot to us.

The continuing saga of Richard, owner of Makani Kai Air, and his chowder head marketing guy, P.J. PJ:
Hey boss, I got a great idea to get more people flying with us.
RICHARD:
I can hardly wait to hear it.
PJ:
Everyone who books a roundtrip with us gets a copy of my new CD absolutely free!
RICHARD:
I didn’t know you played music…or sing. What’s on the CD?
PJ:
Nothing. That’s the beauty of it: it’ll cost us just pennies per copy.
RICHARD:
And you don’t think people will be disappointed when they discover the CD is blank?
PJ:
Well, by then they’ll already have flown with us. It’s brilliant.
RICHARD:
Are you the devil?
PJ:
Aways keeping my mind open to new opportunities.
RICHARD:
Do me a favor and take the rest of the month off.
NO CDS. NO “SPECIALS”. JUST GREAT SERVICE.
