Molokai's Women's March

early 100 Molokai residents joined more than two million worldwide in the Women's March movement that took place last Saturday. Inspired by an initial initiative to march on Washington, D.C. corresponding to Donald Trump's first full day as President, hundreds of thousands of people around the world rallied, voicing a variety of sentiments. Some marched for women's rights, others made a statement against Trump, and still others championed equal rights for all. Though officially called the Women's March, the event featured participants of all ages and genders. In more than 700 cities,

towns and villages -- in locations that included the near Arctic Circle, the Congo, France, Iceland, Israel, Mexico, Serbia, the U.K., and across Hawaii -- residents joined to make a powerful statement. Many donned pink for the occasion, and some wore knitted pink hats in reference to lewd remarks made by Trump, or held signs expressing their views. At the Washington rally, more than half a million people flocked to the city's center -- one of the biggest demonstrations in the capital's history -- and more than double the turnout for Trump's inauguration the previous day. Molokai's Emillia Noordhoek flew to D.C. to participate in the march there. Molokai jumped on board just days

before the planned march, organized by longtime resident Frances Feeter. "This was very spur of the moment, when our daughter, Christi, discovered Monday that Molokai and Lanai were the only Hawaiian islands without a march scheduled," explained Feeter. "So she said, ‘Why don’t we do it?'" They spread the word on bulletin boards and social media, and Feeter said she was amazed by how many people turned out on Saturday. "This is an all-inclusive, non-partisan march for women, men and children to stand together for the protection of women’s rights, safety and the importance of vibrant, diverse communities," said Feeter as marchers gathered in front

Mixed Success for Basketball on Lanai By Rick Schonely | Sports Reporter 43-37. Molokai was led by Sidney Raw- ment at the Barn," said DeRouin. "Our

oth the Boys and Girls Basketball teams traveled to Lanai last weekend for a series of tightlymatched games and a win for both the Farmers and Lady Farmers. The girls are also prepping to host the MIL Division II Championship tournament this weekend at home.

Girls Basketball In the first of the final two games of the girls' DII regular season, the Pine Lasses defeated the Lady Farmers 60-41 Friday night. Molokai was led by senior Brooke Keliihoomalu with 18 points and senior Nadia Augustiro had 9 points. Lanai was led by senior Tyana Soberano-Foster with 25 points; Jana Ohashi added 12 points and Kayla Garcia had 9 points. On Saturday, the Lady Farmers played a much tougher game and sent the game into overtime against the Pine Lasses. After being tied at 36 after regulation, the Lady Farmers (2-6) outscored Lanai (4-4) 7-1 in overtime to win their second game of the season

lins with 15 points and Kaitlin Derouin added 9. “What a game by both teams!" said Lanai Assistant Coach Christian Yumol. "After all was said and done, the Lady Farmers kept playing disciplined and we couldn’t take care of the ball and hit our free throws. It was a solid effort on both sides! I’ve said this before, [Molokai Coach Lee DeRouin] has a championship program and they are always going to be ready to battle.” Molokai will host the MIL DII Girls Basketball Tournament this Thursday and Friday at The Barn in Ho`olehua, where Lanai and Molokai will face each other again in the event's first game Thursday at 7 p.m. Lanai’s win last Friday secured the second seed in this year ’s tournament and Molokai is the third seed. Only three teams are in the league this year, after Hana dropped out. The winner of the Molokai/Lanai game will play Seabury on Friday night at 7 p.m. for the MIL DII Championship. "The team is very excited and looking forward to the MIL Tourna-

team is starting to come together at the right time and developing that chemistry needed amongst them."

of the Molokai Public Library. "We need to protect the rights of all, including the LGBT rights, immigrant rights, religious freedom and the rights of people of color.” The group of more than 75 walked from the library lawn down Ala Malama to the baseball park. Molokai signs included the humorous, clever and heartfelt. "Tweeting is for the birds," read one, referencing Trumps frequent use of social media platform Twitter. "My body, my choice," "Equality is Aloha Spirit," "Climate Change... Not a Hoax," and "Build Bridges, Not Walls," were just a few more. Still another sign read: "Strong Women: May we know them, May we be them, May we raise them."

Boys Basketball On Friday, the Farmers defeated the Pine Lads 69-57, led by junior Kaina Adolpho with 17 points. Junior Shraedon Naeole-Starkey added 14 points with three 3-point shots. Senior Edel Mark Alvarez and junior Keison Poaha-Alcon both had 8 points. "Our boys moved the ball well and kept their spacing and actually had fun," said Molokai Head Coach Bob Danner. "It was great to see them enjoy a game and of course playing against Lanai you can count on them coming after you hard on their home court." On Saturday night, it was the Pine Lads' turn for a victory. After being tied at 22 at halftime, Lanai outscored the Farmers 30-12 in the second half to win 52-34. Lanai improved to 4-4 in league play and is tied for second place with Molokai 4-4 in the Division II regular

Improvements at the Canoe, 35 Years of Makahiki Mats, Pool Continued By Rick Schonely | Sports Reporter

Canoe Paddling The Molokai Girls and Mixed Canoe Paddling teams raced in the season's fourth regatta last Saturday on Maui. The girls finished first in their preliminary heat and came in second in the final (5:04:48) behind Seabury. The mixed crew finished second in their preliminary heat and sixth in the final (4:56:49). Head Coach Stefani Hubbard said it was a tough race. “Despite the gusty conditions, and some bumps in surf, the girls crew put on a strong showing yesterday, finishing second and closing the gap on Seabury," she said. "The mixed crew did well in their preliminary heat... but things just worked against them in the finals. As a team, we've got some things to work on and tighten up before next week.” The MIL Canoe Paddling Championships are scheduled for this Saturday, Jan. 28, on Maui, and states will be on Oahu Feb. 4.

Wrestling Two boys finished in first place at last week's round robin wrestling tournament on Maui. “Diego Deponte took first place at 152 pounds and he remains undefeated in the MIL," said Head Coach Randy Manley. "Jarron Boswell also took first at 160 pounds and both guys are wrestling very well.” Tekoa Torres-Umi took third at 145

and Juaquin Samaniego came in fourth at 132. On the girls' side, Kamahina Kaiama-Kanuha, Kelsey-Lee Bicoy-Juario and Sehja Pedro all claimed second in their weight divisions of 127, 132 and 225 respectively. Amri Nahale placed third at 117, and Shia-Anne English came in at sixth at 122. Manley and his team have two more matches before the MIL Championships and state tournament, and he said he is happy with the team’s progress. “Our teams continue to improve each week... With each week of competition we are getting stronger and stronger with the goal of hit our peak performances at MILs and states.”

onoikamakahiki! This weekend, the Molokai community will gather to celebrate its 35th year of the Makahiki season in games, food and entertainment Thursday through Saturday. This is the last in a series of historic articles from Dispatch archives we have printed look-

ing back at past Makahiki celebrations. Organizers of this year's anniversary events invite the community to join in continuing the proud cultural values and history of Ka Molokai Makahiki. For the full event schedule of the three-day observations, see the community calendar and Makahiki advertisements.

Swimming The Molokai Swim team competed on Maui last weekend and Head Coach Amanda Labriola was happy with her team’s performance. “This weekend was Cobra Curtis and Ilima Kaawa-Richarson’s first meet and they got personal bests on both days," she said. "Kapili Naehu-Ramos dropped 8 seconds in her 200 freestyle and Ida had amazing swims all around. Kahale Naehu-Ramos has made the allstar list for the second week in a row and Matthew Rowe got personal bests in the 100 freestyle, the 100 fly and the 200 free." The MIL Championships are scheduled for Feb. 3-4 at Kihei Aquatic Center and the state competition will be held Feb. 10-11. “The team is continually improving as we get closer to MILs," added Labriola.

Political Prisoner Shares Memoir MAC News Release Torture and political imprisonment are, for most of us, vague and hypothetical concepts. Not so for Jafar Yaghoobi. In 1979, Yaghoobi returned from California to his native home in Iran after earning a PhD in genetics. He wanted to take part in shaping a secular vision for his country, whose leader, Mohammad Reza Shah, had just been overthrown by a combination of religious and student organizations. Islamic fundamentalists, under the leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini, took charge instead, and in 1984 Yaghoobi was arrested for his political opposition of the newly formed theocracy. He spent the next five years enduring both physical and psychological torture in one of the world’s most notoriously cruel prison systems. "Let Us Water the Flowers" is the title of the memoir Yaghoobi wrote of his time

in, and eventual escape from, political imprisonment. It provides an in-depth look into both the psychology and mechanics of systemic political suppression, as told from the first-hand experiences of a prisoner struggling to survive with an intact sense of self. Perhaps it also serves as a cautionary tale of just how quickly a political landscape can change and the dangers of ideological extremes. The Molokai Arts Center (MAC) and Friends of Molokai Public Library are teaming up to host a reading and talk-story event with Jafar Yaghoobi at the Molokai Library on Wednesday, Jan. 25 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. He will read from his book, followed by an interview style discussion with local author Brandon Jones about his experiences. He will also take questions from the audience. Copies of his book will be on sale at the event.

dez said Molokai is a tough team. “The Farmers are so quick and physical with their pass and screen and roll game," he explained. "We were lucky we could spread our offense out and play on a bigger court and get a win.” The Farmers will travel to Seabury this weekend for the last two games of the regular season.

Veterans Corner

Veterans don't verbalize health problems By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans, and residents of Molokai, old Jesse with all the veterans news and upcoming events. Last month I read a new study from United Health Group and the Military Officers Association of America that I found interesting. The report presents a warning for civilian doctors that they may need to dig deeper into veterans' medical files to make sure health problems are not being over looked. The study has shown that veterans are more likely than nonveterans to develop diseases like cancer, heart disease, and face substance abuse problems, but are also less likely to see problems with overall health. The study also showed that the general population is going to be more outspoken about symptoms and problems than those who have served, said Dr. Richard Migliori, chief medical officer for United Health Group, concluding that doctors need to be more persistent with veterans. The survey was based on phone interviews with 400,000 veterans and civilians. It found that 57 percent of male veterans and 56 percent of female veterans described their overall health as very good or excellent, while 51 percent of civilians in both groups reported the same. Researchers also discovered that veterans were more likely to be physi-

cally active than their civilian peers and more likely to have some type of health insurance, but those factors may be covering up more serious health issues. Our veterans under age 40 were more likely than their peers to get insufficient sleep or to pick up smoking, and more veterans suffer from heart disease and cancer than others. “This is a very important study because it gives doctors and other health care professionals one more weapon to understand the veterans population," said Rene Campos head of MOAA’s Veterans-Wounded Warrior Health Care programs. “Military and veterans health systems are not going to see all of these individuals, but this helps start a dialogue." This report comes as Republican lawmakers push for expanded medical appointment options outside VA hospitals, a solution that can ease wait times for veterans and also introduce them to physicians with little experience treating their population. Migliori said, “he sees the report as an important effort to bridge the civilian and military divide, giving those doctors a better road map to follow as they see new veteran patients.” Give old Jesse a call and we will talk story, 553-3323. Remember old Jesse loves Molokai and its people every man, women, and child from my heart, you are my family. Continue to support our men and women in uniform they have a tough job to do. Aloha and mahalo.
