Lunch with Mazie HironoBy Eileen Chao | Managing Editor

Congresswoman and Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate Mazie Hirono paid the Friendly Isle a

visit on Thursday to talk story with members of the community. She host-ed a question and answer (Q&A) lun-cheon with the Molokai Veterans held at Molokai Drive Inn.

At the Q&A session, Hirono discussed her commitment to provide benefits for veterans, her plans to introduce bills that would create jobs for Hawaii, her work with schools to promote sustainability and her ongoing cru le class taxpayers. She

stressed the need to “cut the fat”--or waste-ful spending --from the budget to reduce the national deficit, not by increasing taxes for middle class families, but by eliminat-ing the Bush tax breaks for big oil compa-nies and the wealthiest two percent of the American population.

“I will continue to be a voice for vet-erans, women, seniors, teachers and young people who just want a chance at the Amer-ican dream,” said Hirono.

In the primary elections earlier this year, she bested former U.S. Representative

Protec ting Public LandsResidents testify against the PLDC at public hearingBy Eileen Chao | Managing Editor

“It is dangerous to put public lands in private hands,” said Molokai resident Kauhane Adams. Yet it

seems that this is exactly what legisla-ture created the Public Land Develop-ment Corporation (PLDC) to do when they passed senate bill Act 55 in 2011 that established the corporation.

The PLDC’s was established to “generate additional revenues for the Department of Land and Natural Re-sources (DLNR) by developing under-utilized or unused public land,” accord-ing to a written statement circulated by the PLDC.

Homesteader Adolph Helm claimed that the PLDC would allow “fast-track boondoggle projects that benefit the pri-vate developer and the pockets of the well-connected [while] stripping Native Hawaiian beneficiaries of trust lands.”

Sentiments against the advance-ment of the PLDC have echoed through-out the state at similar meetings held on Hawaii Island, Maui, Oahu and Kauai. These public hearing meetings, hosted by the PLDC, were meant to gather com-munity feedback on its proposed new administrative rules, but have largely resulted in Hawaiians calling for the re-peal of Act 55 and the disbanding of the PLDC.

Who determines what is best for the land?

PLDC’s Executive Director Lloyd Haraguchi opened the Molokai meeting, held last week at Mitchell Pauole Center, with an example of an “unused public land” -- an abandoned school building

Renegotiating Oceanic’s ServicesBy Eileen Chao | Managing Editor

Molokai residents are frustrated with Oceanic Time Warner Cable, the is-land’s only provider of cable television (CATV) and broadband Internet services. Many claim that though they pay the same price as on other islands for Inter-net, they get only half the speed.

As part of the process to renew Oce-anic’s franchise, possibly for the next 20 years, the Hawaii Department of Com-merce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA), who regulates CATV statewide, is gath-

ering community input across the islands on Oceanic’s services as well as public access services provided by Akaku Maui Community Television.

“We want feedback on the level of service being provided by both Oceanic and Akaku,” said Donn Yabusaki, admin-istrator of the DCCA’s CATV division. “If you have a need, we want to know about it… We’re not promising overnight fixes, but we need a starting point.”

Franchise agreements are required because cable companies use county and

state rights-of-way to lay their cable, said Oceanic President Bob Barlow. There is a separate agreement for each county in the state. The renewal process includes iden-tification of community needs through public hearings, reviews the financial viability of the operator, outlines what services they plan to offer and the com-pany’s technical capabilities, according to Barlow. Oceanic’s current franchise term expires on Dec. 31, 2013.

that, in addition to being a safety hazard, is not being used to the best of its ability. The space could instead be developed to generate additional revenue to ben-efit the Department of Education, said Haraguchi. He insisted that the PLDC is committed to finding “the highest and best use of land within a community.”

Resident Glenn Teves questioned how the five board members of the PLDC --who may constitute a quorum with only three people --would define what would be the “highest and best use of land.”

“They may believe major develop-ments like shopping malls is the ‘best use’ for the land because it generates more revenue for the state, but the com-munity may believe that the best use for that land is farming,” said community member Cheryl Corbiell. “This is an excuse to get more money through pri-

vate partnership by using our valuable resources”

Haraguchi agreed that there is no specific formula to determine what proj-ects will be “best,” but he said the PLDC is committed to keeping the communi-ty’s interests in mind when considering proposed projects.

“The PLDC board will consider each project based on the experience of the board members, the community in-put received at the various stages of the project and the project proposal itself to determine if the project serves the eco-nomic, environmental and social benefit for the people of Hawaii and the com-munity where the project is to be locat-ed,” said Haraguchi.

Proposed projects may be located on any state-owned public land, includ-ing ceded lands, according to Hara-guchi. In Hawaii, there are 1.8 million acres of ceded lands that belonged to the Hawaiian monarchy under Kamehame-ha’s rule. When Hawaii became a state in 1959, that land was transferred to the state. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs

(OHA) was established to protect the en-titlements of Native Hawaiians, includ-ing these lands. Funds raised from any projects developed by the PLDC will go in part towards OHA, said Haraguchi.

“Ultimately it comes down to prof-it, because you are trying to support DLNR with revenue from these lands,” said one community member. “My fear would be privatized hunting grounds, camp grounds and fishing grounds will become unavailable to locals who are not able to pay the fees it would cost to be profitable.”

Exemption from the rulesOne of the most controversial as-

pects of Act 55 statewide meetings are the exemptions granted to the PLDC from development requirements.

Haraguchi stresses that the PLDC is not exempt from federal laws, state en-vironmental laws or state historic pres-ervation laws. It is allowed to waive Chapter 301 o f its administrative rules, Rules of Practice and Procedure, in or-der to “enable the board to have greater flexibility in the conduct of proceed-ings before it,” according to Haraguchi. Similar exemptions have been granted for agencies like the Hawaii Community Development Corporation, Department of Agriculture and DLNR, but have not been cause for significant objections because they have been rarely used, he said.

“Moreover, the proposed provi-sion would not allow the PLDC Board to waive the rules in this chapter for any reason, there has to be a basis in the law for waiving a rule,” said Haraguchi. Also, all parties involved would need to agree to the waiver, he added.

“You guys create these rules and laws but don’t even follow them,” said Molokai High School teacher Gandarva Ross. “You bypass all the rules put in place to protect our public land trust and then take away our right to give in-

put to the public process.”Haraguchi insists that the commu-

nity will not by bypassed. “Any developer or the PLDC must

conduct or participate in at least one public meeting in the community to so-licit input on the proposed project be-fore the PLDC may take action on the project proposal,” said Haraguchi via email. “Lastly, when the PLDC board acts to give final approval to any project, they can only do so at a public meeting and the community is again welcome to provide testimony.”

History of the PLDCThe corporation was formed after

Legislature passed Senate Bill 1555, au-thored by Sen. Donovan Dela Cruz and Malama Soloman and signed into law as Act 55 by Gov. Neil Abercrombie in 2011. It is a state entity that aims to at-tract private companies as joint partners in development opportunities through public-private partnerships, according to its website.

It is governed by a five-member board of directors representing three state agencies --the Department of Busi-ness, Economic Development and Tour-ism (DBEDT), the Department of Budget and Finance and the DLNR. One mem-ber is appointed by the speaker of the House of Representatives and one mem-ber by the president of Senate.

“Act 55 is intended to strike a care-ful balance between entrepreneurship while still maintaining the state’s duty to uphold public interest,” said Haragu-chi in an email. “[It] has the potential to provide the state with…a viable model for generating additional revenues with-out having to exclusively rely on fees and taxes.”

Haraguchi urges written comments regarding the PLDC to be submitted by Sept. 14 to [email protected] or P.O. Box 2359, Honolulu, HI 96804

Swimming the Seven SeasSwimmer from India aims to complete the Molokai-Lanai Channel

By Eileen Chao | Managing Editor

As inclined towards the water as is-landers are, few Hawaiians can boast the ability to swim 10 hours

non-stop. However, open water swimmer from East India, Amol Adhav, has swam the English Channel, the Bhagirathi River in India and the South African Channel to Robben Island. This week, he hopes to become the first man from India to swim the 9.3-mile-long Kalohi Channel between Molokai and Lanai.

The 32-year-old said it is his dream to swim in oceans all around the world. Origi-nally from Bombay, India, Adhav has won endurance competitions in long-distance and marathon running as well as local swimming tournaments. He started swim-ming at the age of 12 and usually practices four hours every morning, after which he goes to his day job as an auto mechanic for Tata Motors in Bombay. In July of last year,

he swam the 21-mile-long English Channel between England and France in 10 hours 56 minutes.

“Endurance has been his strength al-ways,” said Adhav’s manager, Milind Gun-jal. “His pulse rate is 52, which is very low so he doesn’t get tired soon. It is a natural gift.”

Before coming to Molokai, Adhav had the choice to swim channels off the coast in Calfornia in Catalina and Santa Barbara, but chose the Kalohi Channel because no one from India has ever swam it before.

“It’s nice that people are coming from all over the world to swim our channel,” said Jim Schelinsky, who owns Molokai BlueGoose B&B, where Adhav is staying.

As of the writing of this article, a date for the swim has not been set due to uncer-tain surf and weather conditions. Howev-er, Adhav insists he will make his attempt across the channel before Sept. 9.

Government Accountability 101

Molokai Marine Receives High Honor

Column by Barbara Haliniak, Ha-waii District 7 Senate candidate

It would seem that accountability is not a priority for policymak-ers in government, as poor decisions have continued to burden

taxpayers’ pocketbooks. Although the state’s economy is expected to continue modest growth for the rest of 2012 and into 2013, as stated by Richard C. Lim, director of the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tour-ism (DBEDT), we are still struggling economically. There is no such thing as “surplus” money. The state still owes the rainy day, the hurricane and the em-ployee retirement system funds. Aren’t legislators accountable to pay back these funds which they have raided?

We choose leaders who we trust to make informed and educated deci-sions, yet these same leaders continue to make bad decisions and display a lack of accountability. Take the University of Hawaii (UH) athletics’ blunder regard-ing the Stevie Wonder concert. “Sorry” was the excuse. Yet taxpayers must pay for Donovan’s new three year contract worth $633,600, and the $200,000 spent on the concert and Donovan’s attorney fees. Where’s the accountability from UH administration and its board of re-gents? What about the legislation who approved the board appointed by the

governor? Shouldn’t they be account-able also?

Another blunder is the Hawaii Island election precincts closing late. Blame shifted between County Clerk Ja-mae Kawauchi and state Chief Elections Officer Scott Nago. Kawauchi said Nago was being “over critical” while Nago stated Kawauchi showed poor leader-ship. The Governor ordered those af-fected precincts to stay open another hour and half, an additional expense taxpayers had to pay for. Who should be held accountable for this?

Finally, the state recently agreed to a $4.4 million settlement in a lawsuit re-garding a couple who claimed the DOE failed to give their daughters appropri-ate autism-specific services in the 1990s. Taxpayers are burdened with this settle-ment amount. Who will claim account-ability?

An article in the Star-Advertiser by William Pesek reported that 70 of the wealthiest lawmakers in China added almost $90 billion to their bank accounts in 2011. While this net revenue is signifi-cantly greater than lawmakers’ salaries in the U.S. , it still puts into perspec-tive where the money is --“Why start a technology company, study science or work in finance when the riches are to be found by rising within the party?” Let’s hope that wealth and power will never blind our country’s leaders to forsake accountability, trust and the people they serve, its taxpayers.

Ed Case for the Democratic primary. She faces former Hawaii governor Linda Lingle for an open U.S. Senate Seat in the General Elections in November. If victorious, Hi-rono would become the first Asian-Amer-

ican woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate. “One person can make a difference,”

said Hirono. “But imagine if all of us came together to make a decision. That’s power.”

Earlier in the day, Hirono also sat with students at Molokai High School to discuss sustainability initiatives, followed by a visit to University of Hawaii Maui College, Molokai’s farm in Hoòlehua.

Almost 70 years after he fought in World War II, Marine Corps veteran and Molokai resident

William Harris Jr., 87, received the Con-gressional Gold Medal last week for his service.

Harris was among the first 20,000 African-American Marines in the 1940s, training at Montford Point Camp in Jacksonville, N.C. The Montford Point Marines, as they were called, served in a time of racial dis-crimination and segregation.

“We had people from different parts of the country who, if a black came in and sat down at the table with them, they would get up and leave without finishing their meal,” said veteran Robert Talmadge in an inter-view with KITV News.

Talmadge, who joined the mili-tary in 1947, said African-American Marines paved the way for racial di-versity both within and outside of the military.

“By breaking the color barrier in 1942, the Montford Point Marines be-came part of a rich legacy of our corps, they answered our nation’s call de-spite our society being deeply divided along racial lines,” said General James Amos, Marine Corps Commandant.

Congressional Medal Events were held in Washington, D.C. in June of this year to honor 400 African-Amer-ican Marines who served in World War II. Because Harris and 100 other Montford Point Marines were unable to attend, the ceremony last week was held at Marine Corps Base Hawaii on Oahu.

Harris declined to comment.

Dissatisfaction with Oceanic services

While the purpose of the meetings are to gather feedback about Oceanic’s CATV service, many Molokai residents at last week’s meetings had more to say about the company’s broadband Internet ser-vices. However, federal law restricts the state from regulating broadband service, and it is only controlled federally through benchmark speeds rather than specific requirements for providers, according to Yabusaki.

Still, Yabasaki urged the community to submit testimony on broadband service, as it is “certain to become a larger issue in the future.”

Last year, a community petition com-plaining about Oceanic’s poor Internet service garnered almost 100 signatures and was sent to Oceanic headquarters on Oahu, according to Kawela resident Alan Uemura.

In a phone interview with The Dis-patch last month, Barlow assured residents that Oceanic was in the process of updat-ing their microwave technology system that sends CATV and broadband signals to Molokai. The upgrades would double current download speeds for customers, according to Barlow.

“We are updating microwave to both Molokai and Lanai and that will remedy some of the issues that we’ve been hav-ing,” said Barlow. “I’m confident they’ll be done by the end of the year.” To match the broadband service provided on other islands, he said Oceanic will need to get a fiber optic cable to Molokai, which he predicts will happen within the next six months.

Still, residents are skeptical after Oce-anic circulated a letter to customers last year that had promised a similar upgrade all around the islands, but failed to follow through on Molokai.

“We pay the same prices [as on other islands] so we should be able to get the same service, but on Molokai we get a lot slower service,” said Oceanic customer Ronald Bouman at the meeting.

“The only thing the Molokai WAVE service has in common with the RoadRun-ner service on other islands is monthly cost,” said Kawela resident Douglas Beijer. While Molokai customers pay the same $49.95 as Oahu residents, they get half the speed provided to RoadRunner custom-ers: 5 megabits per second (Mbps) down-load speed versus 10 Mbps, according to Beijer.

Oceanic’s CATV services were also scrutinized, with residents complaining about poor sound and picture quality of channels, faulty programming and inad-

equate customer service. Resident Moke Kim suggested that

competition would be the way to regu-late Oceanic’s “monopoly” on CATV and broadband services. Instead of renewing the franchise agreement for 20 years, the term should be shortened, allowing for other cable companies to compete for a long-term contract.

“You cannot tell me where we’re go-ing to be in 10 years, so they should not get a 20-year contract,” said Kim. “In two years, if there is a competing company, we’re going to be stuck with Oceanic for 18 more years.”

Cheryl Corbiell, who teaches Inter-net courses part-time at UH Maui College, Molokai, echoed this sentiment. “With the rapid advancement of technologies today, what we think of as TV is not going to be the same in 20 years.”

Akaku: a valuable asset for the community

As part of the previous franchise agreement, Oceanic is required by federal law to divert three percent of their rev-enues to fund public access, government and education channels, which in Maui County, is provided by nonprofit organiza-tion Akaku Maui Community Television.

It is Akaku’s mission to “empower the community’s voice through access to media,” according to Dan Emhof, direc-tor of Akaku Molokai Media Center. They serve the islands of Molokai, Maui and La-nai via programming on CATV channels 52, 53, 54, 55 and 56.

“With students, reading and writing has become secondary to technology,” said community activist Walter Ritte. “Akaku plays a huge role in teaching our chil-dren how to communicate using video, so DCCA needs to support what they are doing.”

“Akaku is one of our family pro-grams,” said Ruth Manu. “They provide nutrition programs, kupuna programs and educational programs that we need to fight for.”

Recently, Akaku’s public access chan-nels have been under attack by Time War-ner, according to Emhof. One of Akaku’s educational channels was switched from analog channel 56 to a digital channel –channel 356, which Emhof calls a “digital Siberia.” Viewers would not be able to access the channel unless they obtained a separate digital cable box.

“We cannot be an informed commu-nity without access to public television and it cannot continue to be hatcheted,” said customer Artis Swingle.

The DCCA urges community mem-bers to submit written feedback by Sept. 14 to [email protected], by post to P.O. Box 541, Honolulu, HI 96809 or online by the questionnaire and survey found at hawaii.gov/dccafnar/catv/twc-maui-county.

First Book Grants

Glass and Clay Bead Making Class

Monsanto Hawaii News Release

Last week, Molokai High School (MHS) graduate Moriah Jenkins became one of 10 students statewide to receive $1,000 in the 2012 Monsanto Hawaii Life Sciences Scholarship program.

“I am extremely humbled and grate-ful that Monsanto chose me to be one of the awardees for their scholarship,” said Jenkins. “The scholarship money has ben-efitted me by helping pay for lab fees and science courses.”

“Moriah is an exemplary student and certainly deserving of this scholarship,” said

Dawn Bicoy, community affairs manager for Monsanto Hawaii. “We wish her continued academic success as she pursues her interest in animal science with an emphasis on food safety at Iowa State University this fall.”

Monsanto Hawaii’s annual scholar-ship program, started in 2005, has awarded nearly $60,000 in college scholarships. It is open to students from public and private high schools in Hawaii who graduate in good standing and will be attending an ac-credited college or university to pursue a post-secondary education in a discipline re-lated to the life sciences. Examples include agriculture, agronomy, biology, botany, ge-

netics, horticulture, plant physiology, chem-istry, crop science and soil science.

Monsanto works with farmers to dis-cover new ways to improve agriculture and is a leading provider of agricultural products and solutions worldwide. The company’s farm stations in Hawaii help develop better-quality seeds that will eventually help small and large farmers produce more abundant and healthier foods, combat insects and dis-eases, preserve precious farmlands and pro-tect natural resources.

Krazy For Kolea Kontest WinnersNene O Molokai News Release

This year marks the 15th annual Krazy for Kolea Kontest, a competition hosted by Nene O Molokai that allows members of the community to track kolea birds as they return to the islands at the end of their breeding season. Priz-es are distributed to observers of the first ten Kolea sightings. This year’s winner is Joe Yerhot, who reported this season’s first migrating bird on Aug. 1. Joe will receive a Kolea research t-shirt from the Hawaii Audubon Society and a gift cer-tificate for a scoop of ice cream at Kamoi Snack-N-Go.

The kolea, or Pacific Gold-en-Plover (Pluvialis fulva) has one of the longest transoceanic migrations, with some flying from breeding grounds in Alaska to as far away as Madagascar. In Hawaii, the winter range of the kolea includes pastures and cultivated fields, coastal wetlands, golf courses and resi-dential lawns. The kolea spends most of its daylight hours foraging and can be recognized from a distance by its pecu-liar feeding behavior of run-stop-run.

There was a tie for second place on Aug. 8 between Bill Feeter and Sarah Jenkins. Judith Gardner reported another on Aug. 15. Other contest win-

ners who reported the first ten kolea sightings this year include (in order of submission): Kimo McPherson, Aunty Kapua Templeton, Kim Markham, Un-cle Frankie Montizor, Angel Johnston and Danny Gutierres.

Àha Wahine Kuhinapapa, a two-day women’s conference held at Leeward Community College, is designed to “in-spire, in quire, invest and invigorate each other with ìke, aloha and kuleana”. This year’s conference, organized in large part by Kanoelani Davis, was held from Aug. 17 to 18, where 14 Molokai participants included kupuna, students, mothers, daughters, health professionals and com-munity members. With the success of the ‘Aha Kane, the intent of this conference was to reconnect women to their Hawai-ian heritage.

“Native Hawaiian women have been gathering in smaller groups around their particular practices, but [it is impor-tant] to have one on a grander scale that dealt with larger issues that all of us as native Hawaiian women deal with --so-cial, economic, health, educational and so forth,” said Mehanaokala Hind, co-coor-dinator of this year’s conference.

On the first day, kau ka la i ka lolo, protocol for the opening ceremony began at noon and each island presented their offerings for the ahu. The Molokai hui, led and prepared by Po’opua’a Kanoelani Davis, presented oli, hula noho, ha’a and ho’okupu. Mahalo to Kanoelani for her energy and aloha in organizing and pre-paring our group for this important and

powerful event. “Being a native Hawaiian woman

practicing traditions passed down from generation to generation is not an easy task, although it must be done,” said Davis. “The knowledge that there are hundreds of women who have the same struggles brings meaningful light that we’re not alone.”

Workshops were held throughout the two days, including topics such as hula, la’au lapa’au, lomi lomi, ho’opono pono ke ala, lauhala weaving, kama’a la’i (ti leaf sandals) and our relationship to our oceans and fishponds.

With the sharing of knowledge comes responsibility. The understand-ing and skills that were gained by each woman will be used to improve not only her own health, but shared with her fam-ily and the community.

This year’s wahine group looks for-ward to collaborating on a workshop for next year’s ‘Aha Wahine conference.

8th Annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser MHS Girls Volleyball News Release

The quiet morning at Ironwood Hills Golf Course was interrupted by the famil-iar “ping” of metal on rubber as 42 eager golfers set out to win the 8th annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser, hosted by Molo-kai High School (MHS) Girls Volleyball Booster Club on Aug. 25. Great camara-derie was shared by all and participants and guests enjoyed awards, special prizes, lucky number and lunch served by MHS’ Lady Farmers. All proceeds go towards expenses for the upcoming season.

Blossom Poepoe, Keif Apo and Keith Hirashima net a score of 59.2, winning this year’s tournament. Friendly Market’s team --Jeff Egusa, Sty Falealii and Frances Magdarilla --came in a close second with a score of 59.3. This year marked one of the closest tournaments as four teams net

59, separated by only a few decimal plac-es. Golfer-of-the-Day went to 89-year-old George Harada, who won a greenie and led his team to a fourth place finish.

This is a fresh start for new coaches Mahealani Rawlins, Hale Domingo and Sumu Asano, who inherit a program filled with the rich tradition of molding great volleyball players and even greater young adults. While there are no seniors on this year’s team, veteran coach Uilani Ramos and new athletic director Hoku Haliniak will help ease the transition.

Congratulations to last year’s gradu-ates who will pursue higher education: LeeNell Hernandez at North Idaho Col-lege, Carol Kahee at Maui Community College and Natalia Levi at University of Colorado. To coaches Matt Helm, who recently moved to Washington to coach women’s volleyball at Whitman College,

and to assistant coach Kim Helm, good luck with your endeavors and rest assured that this team will continue your legacy.

Mahalos go to Litchun Arinoki’s Tempura House, Coca Cola Molokai, Friendly Market, GT Auto, Haku De-signs, Hikiola Coop., Imports Gift Shop, Kamoi Snack N Go, Kalae Maliu, Ma-nae Goods and Grinds, Maui Golf Shop, Heather McGoldnick, Linda Mina, Mi-saki’s, Molokai Drive Inn, Molokai Drugs, Molokai General Store, Ohana Ministries, PK Distributors, Rawlins Chevron, Larry Rawlins Jr., Janet Tamanaha, Sheldeen & Bobby Takeo’s Sushi Factory, M&M Chris-topher Ward, Wailea Golf Club, Marge Yokomizu-Bento and Zen Stylin. You con-tinue to open your hearts and your gener-osity allows our kids to excel and enhance the experience of their wonder years.

We thank our host Darrell Rego and

tournament directors Dana Takashima and Jennie Makaiwi for making this year’s tournament one of the best. And to all the golfers who participated this year, a warm mahalo --your fun-loving, competi-tive spirit allows for this very special day together. Can’t wait to do it all over again next year!

MHS girls’ volleyball will host their first game against Lanai on Sept. 7 at 7 p.m. in the MHS Barn. Come support your Lady Farmers!

A New Store with Things Galore

Big Wind Environmental Impact Statement Meeting

Something for Everybody News Release

Something for Everybody, a new store located in Kaunakakai town, is a retailer of second-hand, lightly used clothes, shoes, household décor and accessories at afford-able prices. At Something for Everybody, there really is something for everybody, with brand name items from Volcom, Billabong, Roxy and Banana Republic, just to name a few.

“I’m really excited to give my commu-nity a store where everyone can afford the items and walk out feeling like they totally scored,” said owner and Molokai native Wailani Tanaka. “I went to highschool on Oahu and…discovered Savers and buying second hand! I was hooked!”

Since then, Tanaka has continued to support second-hand clothing boutiques and garage sales. Not only is shopping sec-ond-hand a way to save money, but it is also a way to decrease waste and reduce the hu-man footprint, said Tanaka. After living on Maui for the last four years, she decided to return to Molokai to open this business, re-lying largely on social media marketing via

Facebook. With over 150 “likes”, the store has been buzzing with promotions and dis-counts posted on their Facebook site.

“I like to come here just to check it out,” said Molokai resident Vanessa Joao. “I’m not necessarily looking for something specific, but there’s such a wide variety and low prices, it’s hard to walk out of the store empty handed.”

New inventory is shipped from Maui daily and promotional discounts and deals are posted on Facebook weekly. Something for Everybody is located off Ala Malama Av-enue above American Savings Bank. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visit facebook.com/somethingforeverybodymolokai and “Like” the page for updates and deals. For more in-formation, call the store at 553-8149.

Dept. of Energy News Release

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the State of Hawaii have established a long-term partnership to transform the way in which renewable energy and energy efficiency resources are planned and used in the state. In 2010, DOE announced its intent to pre-pare a programmatic environmental impact statement (PEIS) with the state as a joint lead for wind energy develop-ment under the Hawaii Interisland Re-newable Energy Program (HIREP). In response to public comments, as well as regulatory and policy developments, DOE has broadened the scope of the PEIS to now include energy efficiency, distributed renewables, utility-scale renewables, alternative transportation

fuels and modes, and electrical trans-mission and distribution.

The DOE will hold eight public scoping meetings on six islands from Sept. 11–20 to gather input on the PEIS. The Molokai meeting will be held on Wed. Sept. 19 at the Mitchell Pauole Center at 5:30 p.m.

DOE invites public comments on the revised scope of the PEIS, now called the Hawaii Clean Energy PEIS. The State of Hawaii and the U.S. De-partment of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) are cooperating agencies in preparing this PEIS. Meeting details, information about the PEIS, the Amended Notice of Intent, and instructions for comment-ing on the PEIS can be found at ha-waiicleanenergypeis.com.

There are plenty items to choose from at the new store, located above American Savings Bank. Photo Courtesy Wailani Tanaka.


ARIES (March 21-April 19): Life tests you all the time. Sometimes its prods and queries are hard and weird; they come at you with non-stop intensity. On other occasions the riddles and lessons are pretty fun and friendly, and provide you with lots of slack to figure them out. In all cases, life’s tests offer you the chance to grow smarter, both in your head and heart. They challenge you to stretch your capacities and invite you to reduce your suffering. Right now, oddly enough, you have some choice in what kinds of tests you’d prefer. Just keep in mind that the more interesting they are, the bigger the re-wards are likely to be.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): According to the religion of ancient Egypt, Tefnut is the goddess of moisture. In the natural world, she rules rain, dew, mist, humidity, and condensation. For humans, she is the source of tears, spit, sweat, phlegm, and the wetness produced by sex. In accordance with the astrological omens, I nominate her to be your tutelary spirit in the coming week. I suspect you will thrive by cultivating a fluidic sensibility. You will learn exactly what you need to learn by paying special attention to everything that exudes and spills and flows.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I’m guessing that you don’t know the name of the person who sent the first email. It was Ray Tomlinson, and he did it in 1971. You’re probably also un-aware that he originated the use of the @ symbol as a key part of email addresses. Now I’d like to address your own inner Ray Tomlinson, Gemini: the part of you that has done valuable work hardly anyone knows about; the part of you that has created good stuff without getting much credit or apprecia-tion. I celebrate that unsung hero, and I hope you will make a special effort to do the same in the coming week.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Busy editor Katie Hintz-Zambrano was asked in an interview what she does when she’s not working at her demanding job. She said she likes to gets together with her “article club,” which is like a book club, except it’s for people who don’t have time to read any-thing longer than articles. I would approve of you seeking out short-cut pleasures like that in the next few weeks, Cancerian. It’s one of those phases in your astrological cycle when you have a poetic license to skip a few steps, avoid some of the boring details, and take leaps of faith that allow you to bypass complicated hassles.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Imagine you’re living in 1880. You’re done with work for the day, and are at home enjoying some alone-time leisure activities. What might those be? By the light of your oil lamp, you could read a book, sing songs, com-pose a letter with pen and paper, or write in your diary. Now transfer your imaginative attention to your actual living space in 2012. It might have a smart phone, tablet, laptop, TV, DVD player, and game console. You’ve got access to thousands of videos, movies, songs, social media, websites, and networked games. Aren’t you glad you live today instead of 1880? On the other hand, having so many choices can result in you wasting a lot of time with stimuli that don’t fully engage you. Make this the week you see what it’s like to use your leisure time for only the highest-quality, most interesting and worthwhile stuff.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’ll bet that a-ha! experiences will arrive at a faster rate than you’ve seen in a long time. Breakthroughs and brainstorms will be your specialty. Sur-prises and serendipitous adventures should be your delight. The only factor that might possibly obstruct the flow would be if you clung too tightly to your expectations or believed too fiercely in your old theories about how the world works. I’ve got an idea about how to ensure the best possible outcome.

Several times every day, say something like the follow-ing: “I love to get my curiosity spiked, my hair mussed, my awe struck, my goose bumps roused, my dogmas exploded, and my mind blown.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Disappointments should be cremated, not embalmed,” said the aphorist Henry S. Haskins. That’s good advice for you right now, Libra. It’s an auspicious moment for you to set fire to your defeats, let-downs, and discouragements -- and let them burn into tiny piles of ashes. I mean all of them, stretching back for years, not simply the recent ones. There’s no need to treat them like precious treasures you have an obligation to lug with you into the future. The time is right for you to deepen your mastery of the art of liberation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Columnist Sydney J. Harris told the following story. “I walked with a friend to the newsstand the other night, and he bought a paper, thanking the owner politely. The owner, however, did not even acknowledge it. ‘A sullen fellow, isn’t he?’ I commented as we walked away. ‘Oh, he’s that way every night,’ shrugged my friend. ‘Then why do you continue being so polite to him?’ I asked. And my friend replied, ‘Why should I let him determine how I’m going to act?’” I hope you’ll adopt that approach in the coming week, Scorpio. Be your best self even if no one appreciates it or re-sponds. Astrologically speaking, this is prime time to anchor yourself in your highest integrity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the 1960 Olympics at Rome, Ethiopian runner Abebe Bikila was barefoot as he won a gold medal in the marathon race. Four years later, at the summer games in Tokyo, he won a gold medal again, this time while wearing shoes. I’m guessing this theme might ap-ply to you and your life in the coming weeks. You have the potential to score another victory in a situation where you have triumphed in the past. And I think it’s even more likely to happen if you vary some fundamental detail, as Bikila did.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Wikipedia has extensive lists of the biggest unsolved problems in medicine, computer science, philosophy, and nine other fields. Each article treats those riddles with utmost respect and interest, regarding them not as subjects to be avoided but rather embraced. I love this perspective, and urge you to apply it to your own life. This would be an excellent time, astrologically speaking, to draw up a master list of your biggest unsolved problems. Have fun. Activate your wild mind. Make it into a game. I bet that doing so will attract a flood of useful information that’ll help you get closer to solving those problems. (Here’s Wikipedia’s big list: tinyurl.com/ListofProblems.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There’s a certain lesson in love that you have been studying and studying and studying -- and yet have never quite mastered. Several different teach-ers have tried with only partial success to provide you with insights that would allow you to graduate to the next level of romantic understanding. That’s the bad news, Aquarius. The good news is that all this could change in the coming months. I foresee a breakthrough in your relationship with intimacy. I predict benevolent jolts and healing shocks that will allow you to learn at least some of the open-hearted truths that have eluded you all this time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A mother wrote to the “Car Talk” columnists to ask whether it’s possible to cook food on a car engine. She wanted to be able to bring her teenage son piping hot burritos when she picked him up from school. The experts replied that yes, this is a fine idea. They said there’s even a book about how to do it, Manifold Destiny: The One! The Only! Guide to Cooking on Your Car Engine! I suggest you engage in this kind of creative thinking during the coming week, Pisces. Consider innovations that might seem a bit eccentric. Imagine how you might use familiar things in un-expected ways. Expand your sense of how to coordinate two seemingly unrelated activities.

Aunty’s CornerColumn by Kathy “Kapua” Temple-ton

Aloha aunty here…I’m in awe of the ladies that drive those huge yellow Dudoit school bus-es. They whip those buses into the park-ing area outside of town in one fell

swoop without having to pull forward or back up to straighten out. Whoever these ladies are, they put an end to the myth that men are better drivers than women.

I am surprised to find that I’m not the only one with problems with Oce-anic. I went to my first public meeting

ever last week about Oceanic’s upcoming franchise renewal. I was impressed with everyone’s testimony. Now the test is to see if anything will be done. Daniel Em-hof, director of Akaku Molokai, did an excellent presentation. Even though I’m not too sure about some things I’ve seen before on Akaku, I didn’t realize that Oceanic gave so little to this wonderful public access network.

I spoke with some veterans after congresswoman Mazie Hirono left the Drive Inn on Thursday. They thought that there should be an auxiliary for the ohana. I remember being in the VFW’s auxiliary when I was a kid. I’m not sure if there is or was one, but if you know, notify the commander so he may pass the information onto anyone who is interest-

ed in joining.Did you know that every first

Wednesday of the month, the library hosts Read to Me for children aged pre-school and kindergarten, in which children and parents do crafts and read aloud? Librarian Sri Tancate tells me it’s great fun. Bring your child and join in the fun.

Father Petrie always asks if there are birthdays or anniversary at the end of Mass. At last week’s Mass, there were six couples celebrating anniversaries, in-cluding Mr. and Mrs. Bicoy’s 58 years. I didn’t get a chance to interview them for their secrets to such a long life together because everyone raced off to get kaukau and talk with Father.

Aunty Kawila has started hula class-

es again. Thank goodness! I feel like such a slug. She worked us really hard and for the first time in a long time, my legs hurt. That’s how out of shape I’m in!

I went to the Cookhouse for break-fast the other day. It was fun to visit with Nan and Dusty, 2G and Bruce Yamashita. Great kaukau. I love the pancakes be-cause they use a special flour. Speaking of pancakes, Goods and Grinds has their fabulous banana pancakes, with big piec-es of banana. An order comes with two really big pancakes, enough to share with another person.

Well, not much happening around here the past couple of weeks, but there are great events in the offing I know. I’ll leave you with this: “A sure cure for sea sickness is to sit under a tree.”

Weekly Puzzle Answers


Veteran’s CornerColumn by Jesse Church

Aloha my fellow veterans and resi-dents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events.

For November’s presidential elec-tion, soldiers will be able to vote by absentee ballot no matter where they are stationed. This practice dates back to the 1864 presidential elec-tion between George B. McClellan and incumbent Abraham Lincoln. With about one million soldiers un-der arms in the Civil War, federal and state governments were pressed to establish a workable system of absen-tee voting. Several states responded by enacting laws that authorized sol-diers to vote by proxy and many field commanders allowed their troops to briefly return home to vote. Archives indicate 154,000 troops voted absen-tee, with 78 percent voting for Lin-coln and 22 percent for McClellan. Lincoln won the election by 450,000 popular votes and 191 electoral votes.

It is important for soldiers, fami-lies and army civilians stationed stateside or overseas who want to vote by absentee ballot in the Nov. 6 election to make sure they are reg-istered with a local election office. Most soldiers vote by absentee bal-lot, said Lt. Col. Paul Amrhein, chief of the soldier programs branch of Human Resources Command. More than 150,000 soldiers and thousands of family members, civilian employ-

ees and army contractors are serving overseas today. Officials say these people need to act now to ensure their ballots make it to the polls on time.

Lawmaker Gus Bilirakis said that no veteran should be forgotten and every veteran should be buried with dignity. The burial of a World War II veteran in a cardboard box at a Florida cemetery has led to the in-troduction of legislation that requires the government to provide a casket or urn for veterans who lack the money for burial and funeral expenses. We send Rep. Bilirakis a big mahalo for his action and hope more lawmakers will take his lead.

Just a reminder that John Can-dello, Veterans Services Counselor, will be at the office of Hawaiian Af-fairs the first two Thursdays of every month from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. His next visit will be on Sept. 6 and 7. Please call 553-3611 to schedule an appointment.

If anyone has any questions, suggestion, news or would just like to talk, please give old Jesse a call at 553-3323. I’d like to thank everyone for your support of our troops around the world, especially those men and women in harm’s way. For all they do for us we send them a big mahalo, and to our veterans for all they have done and to the people of Molokai for all your support. Have a wonderful week, and remember that old Jesse loves you all. Until next week, Aloha.

A Chop Suey of Issues

Respect for Memorials Mahalo Molokai!

Lafaele Wedding Mahalos

Mahalos for Àha WahineWind is a no win on Molokai. Kahuku

wind farm turbines are idle and collecting rust, dust and more tax payers’ cash. Its electric storage facility burned. The cost of repair is unfair to taxpayers. Do the electric companies and politicians care?

Molokai Ranch, Pattern and all John Does involved are trying to develop an industrial wind farm on Molokai. Stop already. Lots of pilikia --trouble, --environ-mental and cultural issues, lawsuit costs and more suggest they should find anoth-er way for a brighter day. The corn seed company has been on Molokai some fifty years. They have been a big part of local economy and employ hundreds of Molo-kai residents. Companies like Monsanto and Mycogen are required by state and federal agencies to be vigilant about health

and environmental concerns for the Molo-kai community. There are too many Erin Brockovich lawyers that would be after the corporations’ pockets if their operations jeopardized public health or safety. Our farmers have been having problems with deer damaging the crops. A deer ate a row of my growing tomato plants so I ate the deer. It is time to thin out the deer popula-tion, so Molokai, eat teriyaki deer meat and make chop suey.

Mahalo to Billy Moore, Laslo Toth, Dobie Enoka and Larry Kahale for helping with taping the dry wall in the new Molo-kai Veterans Center. Great job!

Larry Helm, Commander MVCV & Concerned Citizen

Po’opua’a Kanoelani Davis of Ka Pa Hula O Hina I Ka Po La’ila’i is amazingly creative and shares her wis-dom of Hawaiian and Molokai culture with everyone.

The oli and hula dedicated to MolokainuiaHina, created by Kanoe, were sacred, spiritual, and rich with Hawaiian tradition. It was an honor to practice them for that special day! We also gathered la’i and kukui leaves to make lei and various natural kino-lau for the Hoòkupu to place on the ahu. While prepping the lei, kihei and kikepa, we practiced our chants. All of this was a big gift of mana.

Participants came from all differ-ent backgrounds -young and old, non-U.S. citizens, Hawaiians and western-ers, advanced and first-time dancers,

mothers and grandmothers. We were all wahine. By the end of our journey, we discovered that we are connected --our “pili”. The whole experience was empowering and it healed our hearts.

Special mahalo to Kanoe Davis and Ohana, Catie Brind, Anjalie Graham, Stephanie Napoli, Traci Stevenson, Ce-dric Alonzo, DJ Pelekai, Keone Chin, Ka’ilianu Michaels, Tracey Lakaina-pali, PoMahina Designs, the commu-nity of Molokai, our hula brothers and sisters and to my husband Levie.

Miyako Yamazaki-gray

Mahalo Kahu Leimana Naki; Shonelle Pawn-Kalilikane for the decorations; Gospel Shoes of Jesus Christ Church; Grandma Ruthie; Naki and Caparida Ohana, Ikaika Manu and decorators; Adolpho Ohana; Uncle Eddie Kaili; Uncle Bill Castor; John Keohula, Jr. for the sound system; Uncle Kaleo Bishaw and Ohana for the music; Uncle Tavita and group for the fire dance; Everyday People; Leimana and Kala’e for the hair and make-up; Aunty Vina Tanaka; Shrimp Farm; Lucas Ohana; Aunty Claire Place; Porter for the ice; Phillips & Borden Ohana; our extraordinary wedding party for always being there for us; special mahalos go to Uncle Joe

amd Aunty Chalene Kalima, Aunty Ipo and Uncle Allen Kalima-Moses, Uncle Steven Kalima, Kaui Kalima, Uncle Walter Naki, Charles Miguel, Mana’e Good-N-Grinds, Aunty Kehau and Pia Ward, Kumu Kapuni and Clint Akiona. Your hard work, love, dedication and support made our day one to remem-ber!

Love you all,Mr.& Mrs. Lafaele

I applaud and compliment Maunaloa residents for not removing my late husband, Newell K. Makahanalo’s, memorial service poster, whereas some-one removed three pictorial announce-

ments in Kaunakakai before the memo-rial service on Aug. 25. Shame on you!

FK Makahanaloa

On behalf of our son Levi Horner-Villa, we would like to thank all who have sup-ported his baseball venture. He represented Hawaii in the annual “Aquafina Pitch Hit and Run” event held in Anaheim, California on June 16. Levi, who competed in the boys’ 13-14 division, was one of eight winners in the Major League Baseball (MLB) Angels Team Championships. It was an awesome, fun and unforgettable experience. We would also like to thank all who brought plates and participated in his ball signing at Coffees of Hawaii. A special thanks to the Horner, Villa and Torres Ohanas, Uncle George & Aunty Alvin Spencer, KMK Services, Icandie, Ico-py, Molokai Rare Adventures, Essence of Ohana, Na Ohana Hoaloha, QLCC, Kekama Helm, Alex and Kapua Balbas, Brian Naka-moto, Po Mahina, Pastor Haunani Perriera, Azur Nahale, Maui Parks and Recreational Staff, Mr. Mangca, Uncle Gerard, Uncle Jr. & Aunty Luana Alcon, G. Dela Cruz, The Maui Boys & Girls Club, All Little League Jr. & Pony Coaches, Mr. Ken Nakayama, Ahi

Meyer, Michael Hooper, Mike McCutcheon, Ipo Albino, Taylor Kaawa, George Kaulia Jr., Denver K., Ilika Kaahanui, Milton Loo and Mr.Yamamoto. To all coaches, thank you for your time and commitment in teaching the game of baseball. Mahalo Molokai for your support!
