Ekolu Brings It Home Basket of Dreams

Rose Yamada not only brings her educational experience to Molo-kai, but she also brings her love

for Hawaiian values and culture. These passions helped earn Ya-mada the Educator of the Year award from the Na-tive Hawaiian Education Association (NHEA) after an accomplished thirty

years in the Hawaii education system. Yamada was presented with the

award alongside two other recipients, Calvin and Charlene Hoe, on March 17 at Windward Community College on Oahu.

“She deserves a round of applause [and] a thank you from all of us,” said Janice Espiritu, principal of Kaunaka-kai Elementary. “She’s really deserv-ing of the award.”

Vision for MolokaiYamada, born and raised in Lahai-

na, relocated to Molokai in 1991 after serving as Hawaii’s State Educational Director for the Department of Educa-tion (DOE) for 14 years and as a math teacher and education specialist.

For the past 20 years she has been putting her efforts toward bettering Ha-waii’s education system on Molokai.

She successfully wrote a grant that began Molokai’s 21st Century Program in 2008. Since then, Molokai children have had the opportunity to get in-volved in a wide range of rewarding and educational afterschool programs. The grant also provided the popular robotics

program, in which Molokai students have the opportunity to build and program ro-bots and compete in competitions.

“She’s vital to this community,” said Joe Yamamoto, principal of Maunaloa Elementary. “She provides professional development for math and science.”

Years of ServiceYamada is currently teaching classes

on Maui for math teachers on how to inte-grate Hawaiian culture into their classes.

She said she prides herself on further-ing the state of Hawaiian culture and val-ues through education, in part by founding the Hawaiian Studies program in the DOE, which has been teaching students across the state about Hawaii’s culture and language.

An engineering school drop-out, Yamada has worked on educational initiatives since the 1970s, when she worked alongside Sen. Daniel Akaka to serve children of Hawaiian homelands.

To Yamada, every child in the state

education system should be familiar with Hawaiian culture.

“Learning the culture is a strong part,” she said. “If we talk about taro, [Native Hawaiians] were great farming scientists. They were able to develop 300 varieties of taro. I think that’s how the people survived.”

And at 69 years old, Yamada’s ul-timate success story has yet to begin. She was asked by a panel at the NHEA award ceremony, “What has been your greatest accomplishment?”

“I don’t have any. I’m not done, yet,” Yamada responded.

Calvin and Charlene Hoe did not re-turn calls for comment.

Kirk DelaCruz“If it speeds up things for the community and it’s safe for the environment, then I think it’s OK.”

Kathie Flynn“I’m not in favor of

high-speed ferries or anything that puts sea

life in danger.” There is a new bill in the Hawaii Sen-

ate introducing a state-run passen-ger and small cargo ferry system.

The Dispatch asked what do you think of a state-wide ferry system coming to Ha-waii’s shores?

Lynn Howell-Sinnard“Not Molokai. It would damage our ecological

balance. If large numbers of people came, we don’t have

the facilities to take care of their needs.”

Claire McCann“They should make sure it can pay its own way. I don’t think the taxpayers should be burdened.”

State Proposes High-Speed FerrybY MarK HaYDen

All aboard! That seems to be the consensus so far across the Ha-waii state legislature for a pro-

posed bill that would jumpstart a state-wide high-speed ferry system.

Rep. Joseph Souki, along with seven other representatives, introduced House Bill 1239, which would create a system of high-speed vessels traveling at least 30 knots per hour, similar to ones that were used by the Superferry.

The Superferry served Hawaii between 2007-08. Following a Hawaii Supreme Court ruling, the Superferry shut down operations in March 2009 due to environmental concerns.

The bill stipulates the high-speed ferry vessels will be able to “carry at least five hundred passengers, two hundred motor vehicles and cargo be-tween the islands of the State.”

The state House of Representatives approved of the HB 1239 in March and it is currently being reviewed by the state Senate.

possible Service to MolokaiHB 1239 states that the ferry would

dock on all islands, including Molokai, but Rep. Souki said that Molokai would not be part of initial operations.

The bill states, “At minimum, the authority shall operate one high speed ferry vessel and other small vessels, as needed, for service to and between the islands of Maui, Molokai, and Lanai and other routes.”

“Molokai is not really our priority right now, because you already have service. But it could be someday,” Sou-ki said, adding that the two-ferry ser-

“Professional Work Performed Mainland Style But With Aloha”

Molokai Arts Center is invit-ing artists to submit grant proposals for the Native

Arts and Cultures Foundation. The theme of this year’s grant program is “Mobilizing the Community Through the Arts” – a perfect theme for the start of Molokai’s first community art center.

This grant awards up to $10,000 for Native Hawaiian artists and non-profit organizations to collaborate on artworks featuring one or more artist. Eligible projects would be those in which the artist functions primarily as an artist, an agent for community development, or in another capacity other than as a teacher. The artist’s work should serve as an interface for community participation – projects that engage the community in the art-ist’s work and use the making of art to help strengthen the community, draw attention to an important is-sue, or engage community members in new ways. Molokai Arts Center, Inc. will prepare the grant application

and manage the fiscal aspects of the grant(s), if awarded. Friday, April 29 is the first deadline, to submit a two page letter of intent. Grant awards will be announced in October 2011. Planned projects should take place between Oc-tober 1, 2011 – October 31, 2012.

Preference will be given to public art projects; theater, music, or dance performance; and/or media projects. Preference will also be given to proj-ects working with Native Hawaiian participants. Examples of acceptable forms of documentation of Native heritage include a copy of birth certif-icate (for Native Hawaiians only) or a letter from a government entity or community identifying the applicant as a descendant or indicating mem-bership in the Hawaiian community.

Interested artists should contact Kim Markham, treasurer of the Molo-kai Arts Center, Inc. by phone 808-349-6270 or email [email protected].

The Molokai Dispatch received a lot of community feedback after printing “Molokai Man Convicted for Sex-

The Dispatch always tries to keep its stories as fair and balanced as pos-sible, and we are aware of our oversight in this case. It is our mission to print stories in the spirit of community ser-

Ekolu’s keyboard player is Molo-kai’s own Tom Mamuad, born and raised in Hoòlehua. The Molokai

Dispatch sat down to talk story with him about how he began playing and how it felt to perform for the home crowd.

Molokai Dispatch (MD): How did you get your musical start?

Tom Mamuad (TM): I learned to play keyboard by playing at King’s Chapel growing up. After I graduated from Molokai High in 2002, I moved to Maui and got my professional start playing in a phe-nomenal band called Nuffsedd. That was where I sunk my teeth into a lot of stuff like parties and bar gigs. I also got in-volved in music at King’s Cathedral on Maui. I try to keep myself as musically varied as possible – you never know what situation you’ll need to play in.

MD: How did you start playing with Ekolu?

TM: I started with the band in 2005. Funny enough, I got connected with them through MySpace. My brother is

also in music – he’s now the sound guy for Ekolu. I didn’t really know the band leader back then but I shot him an email to recommend my brother to help them out on their Japan tour. I got an email back saying we should both join the band – and that’s kinda how it started.

I used to listen to these guys driving home from school. It’s surreal to be playing with them now.

MD: How was it com-ing home to perform?

TM: I was nervous! But it’s always great to come back and have so much support here.

MD: What would you say to aspiring musicians on Molokai?

TM: Practice, practice, practice. Sur-round yourself with people who are bet-ter than you. Stay with the right crowd – don’t get involved in drugs or alcohol. And it’s not always about how good you are, but your attitude. If you want to learn, you’ll probably get the gig because you’re willing to listen and learn.

I’m glad I’m able to give back a little because local musicians were so influential to me growing up.

April 10-16 is National Volun-teer Week, and Hospice Ha-waii on Molokai encourages

one and all to volunteer with hospice care. There were an estimated 468,000 volunteers working in hospices in 2009 – the average devoting 46.6 hours of time in 2009.

Our trained volunteers contribute to the quality of patient care and be-reavement support for families. Volunteers often say they receive far more than they give during the time shared with patients.

Patient visitor volunteers pro-vide companionship, respite, do chores, run errands and help with light physical care for patient and/or family. Bereavement volunteers provide support to families after the death of a loved one, through tele-phone calls and/or visits, and facili-tate or assist with bereavement sup-

port groups and memorial services. Office volunteers help with filing, computer work, telephone, mailings and general office duties.

To become a volunteer, contact Hospice Hawaii-Molokai for infor-mation about the different volunteer

opportunities and to receive a con-fidential application form. After

we receive your completed application, we will contact you for a personal interview

and orientation to our organi-zation. Following this interview,

you can identify which opportuni-ties you feel would best suit your tal-ent and interests. Hospice provides comprehensive 16-hour training for all patient visitor and bereavement volun-teers. Following this training, you and an appropriate staff member will meet to discuss your assignment and com-mitment as a volunteer at Hospice.

After becoming the first Molokai High School swimmer to quali-fy for states in nearly a decade,

junior Lawaia Aalona was named to the Maui News Maui Interscho-lastic League (MIL) All-Star number two swim team.

The Maui News com-piled a number one and two team for its All-Stars list, and an honorable mention

list for MIL swimmers this year.“I feel pretty good,” Aalona said of

his recent honor. “I’m aiming for team one next year.”

Aalona said he is also hoping to compete at the state competition next year. After earning a state consideration time at last January’s MIL champi-onships in the 50-yard freestyle, he was unable to attend the state cham-pionship due to commu-nication error between of-ficials and his coach.

Aalona said he thinks he impressed the coaches that voted for him because

of the Farmers’ tough last season.“I showed them that five weeks

without a pool can do a lot,” he said.“It’s very exciting for Lawaia, I

think it shows he has a lot of talent and he can do a lot more with a lot more training,” said head swim coach Jes-sie Ford. “It motivates me to get year-round practices going.”

Ford is planning on resurrecting a USA swimming program for Molo-kai’s swimmers, that would bring year-round training back to the island.

“I had fun this year, me and my teammates got to bond more,” Aalona said. “The longer we stick together, the stronger our team will be.”

vice would serve the “major is-lands” – Oahu, Kauai, Maui and Hawaii Island.

David Jung, manager of Sea-Link that runs the Molokai Princess ferry ser-vice between Molokai and Maui, is wor-ried about the future of his company’s service if the bill passes.

“It’s amazing that this bill has passed [the House] without consulting with the people who are intimate with the situation,” Jung said.

pros and ConsBesides the ferry services between

Maui, Lanai and Molokai, the other is-lands lack a marine transportation sys-tem. Souki said he believes business owners, residents, tourists and farmers are deserving of an alternative to air travel.

His Vice-Chair Linda Ichiyama said past state ferry service was wel-comed by local farmers.

”There are a lot of farmers on neighbor islands who supported a ferry system, because of increased business for them,” Ichiyama said.

There are many environmental

concerns, however, surrounding the proposed ferry. If HB 1239 is signed into law, the state must conduct an en-vironmental impact statement (EIS). The Superferry system was shut down in March 2009 by the Hawaii Supreme Court when it found that the state did not properly conduct the EIS.

Many of the safety concerns are aimed at the possibility of marine life being adversely affected, particularly whales, Souki said. He added, however, that no whales were harmed during the Superferry’s tenure.

Whale numbers in the Hawaiian Islands have increased from 600 in the 1970s to the last population estimate at 20,000, according to Jung, who said he is concerned for the safety of the ani-mals if the system moves forward.

Souki said he does not want to hurt the environment, but “we have to learn to live to live together.”

“We are surrounded by water and we need to get a marine highway going.”

The bill will be reviewed by the Committee for Ways and Means before it can be sent to the Senate floor for vote.

Some artists use paint as a tool of the imagination, others prefer clay, but for one artist, setting her art

aflame brings culmination to the proj-ect. Mavis Muller, an artist from Homer, Alaska, came to Molokai two weeks ago and began her 20th public basket-burn-ing project.

Muller spent the past week building a 7-foot structure with local community members willing to help. They used cof-fee plants, haole koa, mangrove, banana and other local plants for the basket.

Muller finds it to be a healing pro-cess when people can burn their heart-felt messages inside a hollow pedestal and basket, she said.

Last Saturday at Aliì Fishpond, she invited people to write down and insert prayers, dreams and hopes on pieces of paper inside the basket. Around sunset, Kauwila Hanchett chanted in Hawai-

ian and torches were lit. Soon after, the dreams, hopes, and prayers of Molokai took a new form.

One woman even put a piece of her wedding dress in the basket. Another brought old love letters.

Muller calls her project “public art.”“I feel like I have butterflies in my

stomach and my heart is wide open,” one participant said.

Muller has held her burning events on Maui, and in California and Oregon as well as her home state.

“She uses the art as a healing force,” said Teri Waros, owner of Kalele Bookstore and Divine Expressions, who helped facilitate the event. “It helps serve people here in our community.”

“I think this is a great way for the community to get together,” said par-ticipant Drake Wells.

We will be accepting applica-tions for round two of the Molokai Native Hawaiian

Beginning Farmers Program. This pro-gram is open to home-steaders in Hoòlehua with agricultural lots. You must have at least a half-acre of agricultural land committed to the project, and also have

access to agricultural water from the Molokai Irrigation System (MIS). Pri-ority will be given to those with lim-ited farming background.

Participants will be expected to attend weekly classes or field work-shops, select their crops and devel-op a farm production map that will guide them through planting, har-vesting, and marketing. We encour-age those who are totally committed to farming as a vocation to apply.

With over 7,600 acres of agricul-tural land and water available from the MIS, the Hoòlehua Hawaiian Homes area is a natural for this kind of program. With farmers aging na-tionally, the average age of farmers is 58 years old while the average age of the workforce is 38 years of age. This age gap is of great concern for our leaders. We believe that being

able to produce agricultural prod-ucts we consume is a fundamental function of a sustainable nation and community. We have made a commit-ment to help develop the next genera-tion of farmers to complement those already farming in order to maintain a critical mass of small farmers needed on Molokai.

Applications are available from the UH Cooperative Extension Service Office, next to the Hoòlehua Post Of-fice, and it will explain the program in detail. Deadline for turning in your applications is April 20 at 4 p.m. at our office. Selections will be made by May 1 by an outside committee composed of community agencies working with homesteaders.

The Molokai Native Hawaiian Beginning Farmer Program is an education and training initiative of the University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Re-sources, Molokai Cooperative Exten-sion Service. This project is funded through a grant from the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture.

If you take a stick and very slowly bend it until it breaks, you will have a very simple example of what hap-

pened on March 11 off the northeast coast of Japan.

The Pacific Plate, which the Ha-waiian Islands reside upon, is slowly moving toward the western arm of the North American Plate at approxi-mately three and three quarter inches per year. The Pacific Plate is pushing under, or subducting under the North American Plate, that creates the Japan Trench off the east coast of Japan. This subduction zone is the reason that the islands of Japan exist. The many vol-canoes that originally created the land-mass of Japan and continue to affect their daily lives and the frequent earth-quakes that disrupt the modern Japan of today are, for the most part, all a result of the subducting of the Pacific Plate with the North American Plate.

This movement is not smooth and gradual. Resistance between the two plates can cause pressure to build up until there is a violent readjustment. In the March 11earthquake, tremendous energy had built up and was released in what is called a thrust fault – a 300-mile-long fault plane, or section,

of the North American Plate thrust up 100-130 feet from its former position. This upward jolt of hundreds of square miles of seafloor also moved hundreds of cubic miles of ocean water – which radiated a wave train of tremendous seismic energy out in all directions, causing the tsunami.

The epicenter, or point of origin, of the March 11 earthquake was about 80 miles off the northeast coast of Ja-pan. Traveling at 500 miles per hour, the first waves slammed the Sendai coast within minutes and tsunami warnings were issued for the Pacific basin. As the tsunami train moved out into the Pacific, the Tsunami Warning Center on Oahu began to closely moni-tor a series of buoys and observation stations for data on the possible size of the approaching event.

In our third part we will look at the local effects of the earthquake gen-erated tsunami on Hawaii and in par-ticular, Molokai.

We live on a dynamic planet. It is ever changing and reconfiguring. May we take a lesson from nature and learn to adjust and change as needed, but stand firm for principle and righteous-ness when called for. Aloha Ke Akua.

Coming off a 1-1 performance last weekend at Seabury Hall, the Farmers baseball team had

its 2011 home debut at Duke Maliu Regional Field last weekend and im-proved to 3-1.

With the help of a solid pitching game by Kaòli Place, the Farmers shut out the Trojans 11-0 on Friday night. “I think I pitched well. I wanted a [win],” he said. The Farmers won again on Sat-urday, 17-2 over St. Anthony. David Ra-panot led the team and went three for four with three runs and five RBIs.

“I’m pleased overall. Everything’s coming together really nicely,” said coach Mike McCutcheon.

The baseball team will play Lanai in their last home series this weekend, April 8-9.

tennisThe Molokai High School tennis

team played their last regular match-es of the season last weekend against Maui Prep and Maui High, where the girls’ side grabbed some wins.

No. 1 doubles team in the Maui Interscholastic League (MIL), Molo-kai’s Denichell Ruiz and Brittanae-Rae Nerveza, defeated Maui Prep 6-4, 6-1 and 6-1, 6-1 on Friday. No. 2 single play-er, Molokai’s Monalisa Espejo, defeated her opponent after a tough set, 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. The boys’ side did not win against Maui Prep. Scores were unavailable for Maui High matches.

“It’s been a great season, a nice fulfill-ing season for me,” said coach Catie Brind.

The team will next play at the MIL tournament on April 21-23 on Maui.

Friend of Youth AwardbY riC orneLLaS

The Hawaii State Teachers Asso-ciation (HSTA) recognized Penny Martin’s 25-plus years of volun-

teer teaching to Molokai students by awarding her with the Friend of Youth Award 2011 at their yearly convention on April 2 at the Sheraton Waikiki. This prestigious award, given annually since the 1980s from teachers state-wide, ac-knowledges a non-teacher who dem-onstrates excellence to teaching and learning within their local community. In her acceptance speech before 411 teacher delegates, Penny said, “I am surrounded by wonderful teachers on Molokai and I receive so much support from our community. If your teachers here are a reflection of our teachers on Molo-kai, then the chil-dren of Hawaii are very lucky.” She is the first Molokai community leader to receive this award.

Jenifer Tsugi, Award Commit-tee chairwoman, presented Penny with a kamani bowl and engraved plaque. Prior to Penny’s award, she gave Gov. Abercrombie a lei on behalf of Molokai before his keynote speech to HSTA delegates. Penny’s two sons, Kealiiaukai “Magic” and Conrad Martin also attended the award ceremo-ny honoring their mother.

Penny’s efforts to help youth are familiar to Molokai residents who see her trucking from school to school, east end to west end, sharing her manaò with young leaders of the fu-ture. While Penny’s primary work is for the AIDS Foundation, her volun-teer work is without compensation and is grant funded through Papaha-

na Kuaola. She visits all four public el-ementary schools, along with private Akaùla School, providing keiki with engaging lessons and activities on Na-tive Hawaiian culture. She coordinates with myriad teachers trying to infuse students’ lives with an awareness of Hawaiian values and traditional care for the environment. Penny sees the youth as Molokai’s future caretakers.

She attends class field trips vol-untarily assisting students and teach-ers in their work with Hookuleana O Molokai, the Maui Digital Bus, the Alakaìna Foundation and the Aloha

Aina curriculum. Penny was a found-ing member of the Earth Day commit-tee on Molokai and for years has spent countless hours in planning, organiz-ing, and setting up booths.

Penny has as-sisted with science

fairs at Kilohana El-ementary School, and was the keynote speaker there (again

without pay) when the then-fourth grade teacher was awarded Teacher of the Year, in large part, because of the science-based environmental projects they developed together. One of those students has fol-lowed directly in Penny’s footsteps, and now, as a young adult, works with teach-ers implementing their curriculum.

Last year, Penny Martin volun-teered at Akaùla School for their an-nual PRISM (Proving Resolutions with Integrity for a Sustainable Molokai) con-ference. As keynote speaker, she urged students and parents to take care of the aina, suggested ways for families to focus on environmental issues and promoted sustainable practices with youth.

About a dozen Akaùla School students visited Japan March 4-12, staying an extra two days when the country was struck by the March 10 earthquake. We want to thank our families and friends for their thoughts and prayers while we were in Japan, especially after the earthquake. While we were not in any danger, we appreciate the outpouring of love and support.

Flea Market at toji templeBy Alex Gilliland

“Wow!” I thought, glancing around the temple grounds, which were full of people, merchandise, and food. It was our first day in Japan and we had already been thrown into their culture. We were completely immersed in a lan-guage and culture we didn’t understand. It was so exciting! I was in Japan on the grounds of a temple! It was also over-whelming because of so many beautiful items from which to choose. It was like a giant yard sale, but better because what they were selling was ex-otic and foreign to us. It was amazing. I didn’t purchase any items from the flea market, but some of the boys bought replica samurai swords, or katana. I had a great time at the flea market. Maybe one day I can go again.

Kiyomizu templeBy Kalehiwa Dudoit

On our last day in Japan we visited Kiyomizu Temple in the eastern part of Kyoto. This Buddhist temple was built in the late 700s, and has been designated a National Treasure. There are no nails in the entire structure, and consider-

ing the size of it, that’s impressive. The name Kiyomizu means clear or pure wa-ter. The name comes from the stream/waterfall that runs through the complex of buildings. There are three streams of water from the Otawa River that fall into a small pool. We drank from the water-fall, and some were greedy and drank from all three of them. Each stream of water is said to have special qualities. Drinking from them you will gain wis-dom, health, or longevity.

As we entered the temple area there were metal poles that Japanese students were trying to lift. They looked re-ally heavy and the students were really struggling to lift them, but the boys from our group lifted them with no problems.

There is a popular Japanese expression “to jump off Kiyomizu,” which means “to take the plunge.” In the Edo period it was believed that if you survived the 13-meter jump from the stage, your wish would be granted. There were 234 jumps recorded dur-ing the period and 85 per-

cent survived the leap. People are no lon-ger allowed to jump at Kiyomizu.

There were many shrines within Kiyomizu’s grounds. One of our fa-vorites was Jishu-jinja, where the “love stones” are. There were two stones about twenty feet apart, and it is said that if you walk from one stone to the other with both eyes closed, safely, and without any problems, you will find your true love. If someone helps you to get from one stone to the other, it is said that you will need someone act as a go-between in love.

Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19): When he was three years old, actor Charlie Sheen got a hernia from yelling too much and too loud. I definitely don’t encourage you to be like that. However, I do think it’s an excellent time to tune in to the extravagant emotions that first made an appearance when you were very young and that have continued to be a source of light and heat for you ever since. Maybe righteous anger is one of those vitalizing emotions, but there must be others as well -- crazy longing, ferocious joy, insatiable curiosity, primal laughter. Get in touch with them; invite them to make an appearance and reveal the specific magic they have to give you right now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The hydrochloric acid in our digestive system is so corrosive it can dissolve a nail. In oth-er words, you contain within you the power to dematerial-ize solid metal. Why is it so hard, then, for you to conceive of the possibility that you can vaporize a painful memory or bad habit or fearful fantasy? I say you can do just that, Taurus -- especially at this moment, when your capacity for creative destruction is at a peak. Try this meditation: Imag-ine that the memory or habit or fantasy you want to kill off is a nail. Then picture yourself dropping the nail into a vat of hydrochloric acid. Come back every day and revisit this vision, watching the nail gradually dissolve.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Now and then I include com-ments in these horoscopes that might be construed as political in nature. For instance, I have always endorsed a particular candidate in the American presidential elec-tions. Some people are outraged by this, saying, in effect, “How dare you?! What do your political opinions have to do with my life?!” If you feel that way, you might want to stop reading now. It’s my sacred duty to tell you that the twists and turns of political and social issues will be mak-ing an increasingly strong impact on your personal destiny in the months ahead. To be of service to you, I will have to factor them into my meditations on your oracles. Now let me ask you: Is it possible that your compulsive discontent about certain political issues is inhibiting your capacity for personal happiness?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you were a poker player, the odds would now be far better than usual that you’d be voted one of the “50 Sexiest Poker Players in the World.” If you were a physician volunteering your services in Haiti or Sudan, there’d be an unusually high likelihood that you’d soon be the focus of a feature story on a TV news show. And even if you were just a pet groomer or life coach or yoga teacher, I bet your cachet would be rising. Why? According to my reading of the omens, you Cancerians are about to be noticed, seen for who you are, or just plain appreciated a lot more than usual.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): No other country on the planet has a greater concentration of artistic masterpieces than Italy. As for the place that has the most natural wonders and inspir-ing scenery per square mile: That’s more subjective, but I’d say Hawaii. Judging from the astrological omens, Leo, I encourage you to visit one or both of those two hotspots -- or the clos-est equivalents you can manage. (If you already live in Italy or Hawaii, you won’t have far to go.) In my opinion, you need to be massively exposed to huge doses of staggering beauty. And I really do mean that you NEED this experience -- for your men-tal, physical, and spiritual well-being.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Healer Caroline Myss coined the term “woundology.” It refers to the practice of using our wounds to get power, sympathy, and attention. Why give up our pain when we can wield it to manipulate oth-ers emotionally? “I am suffering, so you should give me what I want.” When we’re in pain, we may feel we have the right to do things we wouldn’t otherwise allow ourselves to do, like go on shopping sprees, eat tasty junk food, or sleep with attractive people who are no good for us. In this

scenario, pain serves us. It’s an ally. Your assignment, Virgo, is to get touch with your personal version of woundology. Now is a good time to divest yourself of the so-called “ad-vantages” of holding on to your suffering.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As an American who has lived most of my life in the U.S., I write these horoscopes in English. But for years they have also been translated into Italian for the zesty Italian magazine, Internazionale. Over the years, my readership there has grown so sizable that an Italian publisher approached me to create an astrology book for Italians. Late last year Robosocopo appeared in Italy but nowhere else. It was an odd feeling to have my fourth book rendered in the Italian language but not in my native tongue. I suspect you’ll be having a comparable ex-perience soon, Libra. You will function just fine in a foreign sphere -- having meaningful experiences, and maybe even some success, “in translation.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can gain more power -- not to mention charisma, panache, and love -- by losing some of your cool. This is one time when too much self-control could actually undermine your authority. So please indulge in a bit of healthy self-undoing, Scorpio. Gently mock your self-importance and shake yourself free of self-images you’re pathologically attached to. Fool with your own hard and fast rules in ways that purge your excess dignity and restore at least some of your brilliant and beautiful innocence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This week will be a time when you might want to get a hold of a toy you loved when you were a kid, and actually play with it again; a time when you could speak so articulately about an idea you’re pas-sionate about that you will change the mind of someone who has a different belief; a time when you may go off on an adventure you feared you would regret but then it turns out later that you don’t regret it; a time when you might pick out a group of stars in the sky that form the shape of a symbol that’s important to you, and give this new constel-lation a name; and a time when you could make love with such utter abandon that your mutual pleasure will stay with you both for several days.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The Norwegian film Twigson is about a boy who feels so friendless and isolated that he seeks companionship with a talking twig. In the coming weeks, I encourage you to be equally as proactive in addressing the strains of your own loneliness. I’m not imply-ing that you are lonelier or will be lonelier than the rest of us; I’m just saying that it’s an excellent time for taking aggressive action to soothe the ache. So reach out, Capricorn. Be humbly confident as you try to make deeper contact.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): During one of 2010’s Mer-cury retrograde phases, astrologer Evelyn Roberts wrote on her Facebook page that she was doing lots of things you’re “not supposed to do” during a Mercury retrograde: buying a new computer, planning trips, making contracts, signing documents. Why? She said she always rebels like that, maybe because of her quirky Aquarian nature. More importantly, she does it because what usually works best for her is to pay close attention to what’s actually going on rather than getting lost in fearful fantasies about what influence a planet may or may not have. During the current Mercury retrograde, Aquarius, I recommend her approach to you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Damon Bruce is a San Fran-cisco sports talk show host I listen to now and then. He told a story about being at a bar and seeing a guy with a tattoo of a life-sized dollar bill on the back of his shaved head. Bruce was incredulous. Why burn an image of the lowest-denomination bill into your flesh? If you’re going to all that trouble, shouldn’t you inscribe a more ambitious icon, like a $100 bill? My sentiments exactly, Pisces. Now apply this lesson to your own life.

Two Molokai students participated in this year’s State Science Fair, where both girls won prize money and awards for their innovative projects.

electronic CommunicationMy project involved using NXT

LEGO Mindstorms robots to question if my robot was capable of distinguishing a black ink line from various colors, called Walk the Line. I built my own robot, at-tached a sensor to it and programmed it to follow a black line.

After the judges had complied all of their scores it was time for the awards ceremony. I won first place for the Armed Forces Communication/Electronic As-sociation, and was awarded a $200 cash

certificate, a one year membership and a one year subscription. I feel honored because I was amazed that I had even made it to the state competition, especial-ly since I was the first one from Molokai Middle School to ever make it to that level of the Science Fair. I think that one of the significant reasons that I was able to make it as far as I did was because our Molokai Robotics Program which is supported by MEDB, Women in Technology and mainly by the 21st century grant.

Momi Afelin

Doggy-inspired project My project titled “Save the

3-Legged Dogs” combined my inter-est in robotics with CAD (computer

assisted design), in which I created a myoelectric robotic limb for dogs that have lost a limb due to cancer or trau-ma. The project caught the attention of this year’s sponsor, Verizon Wireless, as one of five noteworthy projects. This year’s judging went in the way of “American Idol” as the winner was de-termined by the largest number of text votes during a 24-hour period. With 53 percent of the texting votes, more than the other projects combined, I won the the first place Verizon Schol-arship award. After the awards cer-emony, I asked a judge why my proj-ect was chosen as a finalist. The judge replied that the robotic limb idea con-nected with her personally as she had

a three-legged chihuahua at home. I was also the recipient of a Veterinary Science award from the Hawaii Humane Society.

Both girls won prize money and awards totaling more than $1,200. Both of their projects were inspired by knowledge and opportunities provid-ed by grants from the Maui Economic and Development Board – Women in Technology and the 21st Century after school programs such as CAD, FLL, VEX, and Moonbots. Momi and Moriah would also like to thank their teachers, Ms. Malia Lee, Mr. Lee DeR-ouin, Mr. Rodney Nelson, Ms. Jenni-fer Ainoa, and Ms. Teri Hamasaki for their support.

So all you cribbage players come on out, and see if you can dethrone defending champions Billy Young (singles) and Jesse Dudoit and Taylor-man (doubles).

Commander Larry Helm has an-nounced that a new shipment of yel-low shirts has been received. They are now available for sale to veterans: $15 for t-shirts and $25 for polo shirts. See the watch commander at the veterans’ center or call 553-8387.

Just a reminder than John Can-dello will be on Molokai on Thursdays April 7 and 14 to see veterans and file claims. His hours are 7:30 a.m. – 1 p.m., call 560-3611 for an appointment. The April meeting of the Molokai VFW post 3870 will be on April 12 at Commander George Harada’s house at 12:30 p.m., call 553-5730 for info. The VA clinic here on Molokai will be closed on April 6 and 8 as Dr. Hafermann will be out of town.

If anyone has any news or stories, or wants to share their experiences while in service of this great country, give old Jesse a call at 553-3323. A big mahalo to all our veterans and the people of Molo-kai, I love you all.

letters & AnnounCements

Recent coverage in The Molokai Dispatch has touched on the importance of strategic health

planning on the island (“Health Cen-ter Awaits Funding,” March 16, 2011). Molokai is certainly a medically un-derserved area, but creating a high-performing health system is more complicated than “more is better.” Unnecessary duplication of services poses serious risks. Furthermore, healthcare workforce trends will pose particular challenges for Molokai. Strategic service design and commu-nity-based workforce development will be critical for sustainable, high-quality healthcare services.

Molokai’s population cannot support every service and product the island might desire at any given time, whether for auto repair, con-struction, or health care. Likewise, for services that are available on-is-land, the population can only support a certain number of providers. This makes strategic health planning abso-lutely essential in providing reliable services for patients, stable employ-ment for healthcare professionals, and predictable revenue for health-care organizations.

Healthcare expansion without planning takes the risk of creating excess supply. Patients will be spread more thinly as providers increase, making it increasingly difficult for any to stay afloat. Such a scenario would pressure one or more of those providers to go out of business, in-crease competition for patients, or perform more services for their pa-tients. Rather than resulting in a free-market balance, these outcomes would actually destabilize health-care on Molokai. Planned expansion based on estimates of community

need prevents this from occurring. Building a great healthcare sys-

tem for the island takes not only a careful service structure, but also the right people. It has always been diffi-cult to attract healthcare professionals to establish a career on Molokai. This makes the island especially vulner-able to the looming national nursing shortage and ongoing decline in the number of doctors entering primary care. As current providers retire, re-locate, or otherwise leave practice, how can Molokai fill those gaps?

One strategy is for Molokai to cultivate new generations of nurses, dentists, doctors, social workers, psy-chologists, and other health profes-sionals from within. Those who grow up on Molokai know the island and its people best, and are those most likely to want to return to work and live af-ter completing their education. We as a community must guide and support students and their families in first ac-cessing healthcare education, then completing that training, and finally returning to Molokai to practice.

Most Molokai residents would probably agree that living on the island requires some compromise. We give up some conveniences for priceless intan-gible benefits. However, no Molokai resident should have to compromise on receiving high quality healthcare. Ef-fective service planning and workforce development are essential for reliable, capable, and sustainable healthcare on the Friendly Isle.

Cultivating Molokai’s Healthcare Systemopinion bY KeitH izawa

What is going on with your newspaper? Your decision last week to make someone’s

personal life front page news is disturb-ing at the least. Typical TMZ “news” reporting. Unfortunately your irrespon-sible actions hurt many people not only within the immediate family but also the extended families including our ku-puna. They also read the Dispatch and to suddenly see your loved on trashed in the paper is very hurtful and humiliat-ing. Have you no respect for our kupu-na? In your effort to meet deadlines you become disconnected from the issue

and fail to give any thought as to what happens within families when you do this kind of “reporting.”

The damage is done. Reputations have been smeared and no amount of apology can ever change that. The com-munity would be far better served with articles that inform, educate, reward and uplift a community. No tabloid ar-ticles that denigrate people, are grossly one-sided, and filled with half-truths. What we need is responsible reporting that is fair and balanced.

Disturbing Decisions

Thirty years ago I knew almost ev-eryone on Molokai. Today, many new faces from new places. Traf-

fic jam in Kaunakakai – on barge day, trucks and cars line up to pick up goods. When shopping in Friendly Market or Misakis I say, “Hi,” and they say, “Wel-come to Molokai”….how ya figga?

Today, the Molokai Planning Com-mission, which was created by Molokai for Molokai, is micromanaged by Maui County; rules and policies are imposed

on the kamaaina. Molokai has the high-est electric and gas prices in Hawaii. To fly out of Molokai you have to own Bank of Hawaii. So Molokai – wake up and smell the puakenikeni. Where are we going…parking meters, elevators, traffic lights, etc.?

Change is here, but what is mo bet-tah? New Molokai? Present Molokai or past Molokai?

Larry Helm

The New Molokai

First I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your sincere prayers and donations for the di-

sasters in Japan. I am very thankful and amazed at the same time to see how peo-ple are willing to help and make dona-tions in these hard economic times. I have so far collected $604.12 as of March 31.

Since I wanted the donation money from Molokai to be used in the best way at the best timing, I have researched on my own about different nonprofit orga-nizations in Japan and how they are uti-lizing the money. I have found two or-ganizations that are offering direct help to people. One is called Peace Winds Japan (http://www.peace-winds.org/en/); they provide food and other relief supplies to towns and cities that are hit directly by tsunami. The other organi-zation is called Japan Chernobyl Foun-dation (http://jcf.ne.jp/ ), which spe-cializes in providing aid and medical

treatment to the areas that are affected by radiation from Fukushima nuclear power plants.

Even though I have listed several different organizations before, I would like to ask those who have donated if it is okay if I send the donation money to these particular two organizations in Japan. If anybody has suggestions or questions regarding these organizations, please email me at [email protected] or give me a call at 808-778-0313.

I would like to thank Friendly Mar-ket, Misaki’s, Kalele Bookstore and Out-post Natural Foods for setting up the do-nation boxes. I would like to also thank those who offered so much help, support and love during these hard times. I hope and pray that peace will reside in Japan, throughout the world and in every each one of our hearts. Thank you.

Donation for Japan Relief

The Molokai Community Federal Credit Union celebrated its 60th anniversary on March 24, at the

Mitchell Pauole Center. A spaghetti din-ner plate was sold with proceeds ben-efiting the Children’s Network Fund. Chili bowls were also distributed to ticket holders.

President Fred Bicoy opened the

annual meeting, where Jerry Clemente and John Kaalekahi were elected unani-mously to the board. Omer Merkel and Melinda Talon were also elected as credit committee members. Nearly 340 members attended the meeting, out of the organization’s 3,970 members.

My family and I would like to thank all of you who showed us love and support through-

out this time. My brother Gaig was an extraordinary young man. He has touched so many lives. He was an ad-venturous person; he loved his fish-ing, diving and hunting and most of all loved his sports and canoe paddling. We spend every family gathering to-gether, from birthdays, to Halloween, family base-ball games to just movie nights at home – he spent it with us. He was so fond of his nieces and nephews. He always found time to cruise with them. He also shared so many memories with his cousins. Gaig has saved four lives be-ing in the Hawaii Donor Program. We are all so proud of him, “with one heart he saved lives.” We can say we had the best 19 years of our life with him. There are no words to express our gratitude

and greatness to all who have shown their kindness and love.

Thank you Judy Gallaway and her husband for being there for us and blessing our family; the Buchanans, Salvation Army and Aunty Gina, our Juario/Augustiro gang, Dart and Ju-lie Bicoy and ohana, the Place Ohana,

Aunty Lynette and Uncle Scotty, the Torres ohana, the Lite ohana, Rory Ig-nacio and ohana, Brent Davis and ohana, Tarrah and Noah, the Lorico ohana , the Yap ohana, Stacy Horner and ohana, the Class of 2010 for all their love and support, Class of 1980, and to all

Thank you!Brej (sister) and ohana
