Molokai Dispatch

It is that time of year when Molokai kei-ki transform from students in T-shirts to royalty in satin gowns and sashes.

Around here, May Day is known as Lei Day. And each school presents its own theme, ranging from the Hawaiian monar-chy to the celebration of ancestors.

“It’s a true celebration of the culture,” said Lisa Takata, student activities coordi-nator at the high school.

May Day first began in Hawaii in 1928, according to state documents. Poet Don Blanding suggested a holiday to pay tribute to the Hawaiian custom of making and wearing lei – thus becoming Lei Day. Molokai’s own schools take to the holiday with enthusiasm, crowning Lei Day kings, queens, princes and princesses. In doing

so, they perform mele and hula for their òhana and community.

The May Day court is normally com-prised of ladies-in-waiting, spears men, a king and queen, and a prince and princess for every Hawaiian Island. Representatives don the specific color and often flower of each island. The court is usually nominated and voted on by their peers; they are usu-ally seen as role models, said Lani Fawyer, an educational aid at Kilohana Elementary. The court offers a few songs to the crowd, such as the middle school’s court [Photo 3], singing with their classmates.

Starting in Middle School, the stakes are a little higher – the queen auditions for her role. Queen Aulani Hiro and King Brennan Lee-Namakaeha of Molokai High

[Photo 4] smile beautifully in their roles last week.

All queens have a solo hula, and Maunaloa Elementary Queen Christine Rawlins Santiago [Photo 2] danced to Ohai Aliì Kaluhea, performing with all the grace that befits a queen.

But the queens don’t get all the atten-tion. The whole school takes part in the festivities – such as King Keoki Kealoha-Kaauwai of Kilohana Elementary [Photo 6] leading his princes in a hula. The pre-schoolers of Kaunakakai Elementary [Photo 5] sang a mele as a part of their May Day program, and students at Kualapuù School joined together to tell the story of Kalaupapa and Saint Damien [Photo 1].

Molokai Habitat for Humanity is seeking to fill a site supervisor position for the new

Keiki learned about electrical safety through an interactive display at last week’s Safety

Fair held at Mitchell Pauole Center. Pictured above, Maui Electric Compa-ny’s Kauì Awai-Dickson demonstrates household and workplace safety by triggering sparks in an Electrical Haz-ard Simulator to enthralled spectators.

“When they’re out in everyday

life, hopefully they’ll remember this,” said Awai-Dickson. “It’s very visual.”

The fair in-cluded booths from the Fire D e p a r t m e n t , Police Depart-ment, MECO and Na Puùwai, to name a few. The first of its kind on Molokai, the Safety Fair especially tar-

geted the island’s youth, educating them about what they can do to protect themselves and the community. The Safety Fair was brought to Molokai by MECO and the Fire Dept.

“We had a very good turnout,” said Fire Inspector Rick Schonely. Both Awai-Dickson and Schonely expressed hope the Safety Fair could become an annual event.

Sparks Fly at the Safety Fairphoto caption By catherine cluett

Last summer, we conducted a field trial

to evaluate over 30 varieties of hot chili peppers. The trial and field day was a success – over 50 residents attended, and many were able

to sample and take home hot pep-pers. We also conducted the same trial in Waimanalo about the same time with similar results. Alton Ara-kaki and I discussed two major pests, the broad mite which deforms the young leaves, and the pep-per weevil which drills into the flower and causes prema-ture flower drop. The Hawaiian chili pepper is very late maturing, and there-fore very susceptible to pepper weevil, and it showed when all the flowers dropped before we were able to sample them. Luck-ily, we were able to analyze Hawai-ian chili pepper samples from the Waimanalo trial for hotness.

Along with Sustainable Agricul-ture Specialist Ted Radovich and Ag Technician Faith Tuipulotu, we also conducted a timed harvest to deter-mine how long it took to harvest dif-ferent types of peppers – from the .22 bullet Thai pepper to the large Choc-olate Habanero. The data shows that the smaller the pepper, the longer it took to harvest so labor costs become higher with the small ones. In order to make a fair profit, you have to sell the smaller ones at a much higher price, and this is an important fac-tor if you’re selling Hawaiian chilies. Fresh Hawaiian chilies were retail-

ing for $10 a pound at Tamashiros Market in Kalihi, so half of this price would be the wholesale price, but I would sell it for more, considering the labor involved in harvesting it.

Texas A&M hot pepper re-searcher Dr. Kevin Crosby collabo-rated on the trials and shared many of the latest pepper cultivars with us. He was able to analyze the peppers from our trial for capsaicin content, another way to measure hotness in peppers. We expected the Habanero to be the hottest, but other sizzlers

were a surprise to us. The TAM Mild Jalapeno was next, with Hawaiian chili not far behind. The Habanero types Red Caribbean, Peto Or-ange, and Chocolate Habanero ranged from 17000 to 23000 units, while the sleeper was TAM Mild Jalapeno

which ranged from 18000 to 21000 when it was supposed to be mild. The Hawaiian Chili from the Waimanalo trial ranged from 10000 to 17000, just a notch behind the two. Keahi, a hot chili from the Big Island, was next at 13,000 units. The remaining chilis ranged from 39 to 9000 units.

These results point to the fact that within a variety, there’s a need to select for the taste and hotness you want, and continuing to improve your variety. This is what seed saving is all about. Hopefully, some of field day participants saved seed to plant this summer. Hot weather makes for a hotter pepper, so plan to harvest in the heat of summer. Water stress just before harvesting can make it even hotter, but don’t kill the plants. My mouth is hot already!

The Molokai Lions Club spon-sored its annual “Sight Is Beauti-ful” poster contest at the elemen-

tary school level this past season. Three schools participated this year and over $250 have been awarded to students

from kindergarten through sixth grade. Three first-place winners went on to the state level and one of those was chosen to receive an award from the Hawaii Lions Foundation at a later date.

Historical Kaunakakai WharfPart I in an ongoing series about Molokai’s history.By arleone DiBBen-younG

In 1899, American Sugar Com-pany constructed a wharf with a mole (a large stone pier) one-

half miles long to accommodate the sugar operations. The stones were brought from two heiau in Kalamaùla named Òpaeùla (red shrimp) and Puùpapaì (crab hill), and remain part of the structure of today’s wharf (picutred below).

The older previous wharf is lo-cated just west of the Molokai Canoe Club and is visible at low tide. Amer-ican Sugar Company built a railroad from the end of the mole up through Palaau and Iloli to the middle of the Hoòlehua plateau. Locomo-tives were imported to the Hawai-ian Islands – however, never made the journey from Oahu to Molokai – and a huge coal dump was formed at Kaunakakai to supply fuel. A large camp was con-structed and labor was brought in, cre-ating the village of Kaunakakai.

The Kaunaka-kai mole, between the wharf and the

shore, was too narrow for ordinary road vehicles. To overcome this dis-advantage, a railroad flat-car (pic-tured above) on tracks was drawn by a reliable, “flea-bitten” grey mule named Hattie, who was replaced later by a brown mule named Han-nah. The mule hauled freight and passengers from steamer to shore. In the earlier days, an unusual mode of transportation was employed by George Trimble to move sugar cane from his fields in Kawela. After he had loaded the cane on a small barge, draft animals towed it through the shallows between the reef and the shore to the sugar mill in Kamalo, a distance of five miles.

In 25 minutes last Saturday morning, around 50 people raised just under $5,000 for nonprofits on Molokai.

The 33rd annual Visitors Industry Charity Walk raises money statewide for charities, and all money stays on the is-land where the money was raised. This was Molokai’s second year participating, where the donations also include extra money from the Maui Hotel & Lodging Association, said Executive Director Car-

ol Reimann.This year had a higher turnout

than last year thanks to the island’s keiki, said Councilman Danny Mateo.

“We’re doing this to help each other – Molokai style,” he said. “There are so many nonprofits that need our help.”

Included in the charities ben-efited by the Molokai Chamber Foun-dation this year was Kaunakakai Elementary, which does not usually qualify because it is not a 501c3 non-profit.

“We’re trying to reach out to or-ganizations who do work for the com-munity but who can’t fundraise like

[nonprofits],” said Foundation President Barbara Haliniak.

Along with Kaunakakai, Kalaupa-pa’s Aloha Week fund was also included through the Chamber Foundation. Par-ticipating nonprofits include Molokai Baptist Church, Akaùla School, Habitat for Humanity, Molokai Family Support and the Monsanto Fund. Haliniak add-ed more money is expected to come in through the summer.

Building a FutureWomen take up tools for less fortunate.By heather Driscoll

The cool Molokai breeze, a home-made lunch, camaraderie and the chance to do some good buoyed

the enthusiasm of 16 women helping to build a house on a weekend when tem-peratures nudged the 80s.

Sporting red shirts, tool belts and hammers last Saturday, they were vol-unteering to build a house in Kamalo for Philip Vanderstraeten, who was selected by Habitat for Humanity to receive af-fordable housing.

This day was near the end of Habitat for Humanity’s National Women Build Week – an event that challenges women to learn and execute building techniques to help eliminate poverty housing.

“Our goal is to end homelessness,” said Emillia Noordhoek, resource devel-opment director of Molokai Habitat for Humanity. “[Women Build] encourages women to develop building skills, gain confidence with tools, and make a differ-ence.”

Following an instructional skill and safety lesson, the volunteers were turned loose to work on the foundation of the 700-square-foot house, constructing base blocks to support its frame. For this proj-ect, the Habitat crew will be using its first bamboo house kit – sustainable ready-made housing kits that take roughly one week to build.

Bamboo is a fast-growing and cost-effective alternative to chopping down forests, and is gaining popularity in the construction of homes.

Noordhoek said the kit will arrive in June, putting the completion date less than two weeks later. It will be Habitat’s first completely off-the-grid house on Molokai, incorporating solar, wind pow-er and other renewable architecture.

volunteering for funAlthough the end result will be

nothing short of gratifying, it’s the experience that some say is most rewarding.

“I never knew volunteer-ing would be so fun,” said Vanderstraeten, who also said he never thought he’d be on the receiving end.

“Three years of camping gets old,” he added. “Now I have a house to live in and op-portunity to give back to the community.”

Families selected by Hab-itat for Humanity are required to help in the construction of their homes, and others, equal-

ing 400 to 500 hours of “sweat equity.” Applicants are also chosen based on their income level and ability to pay zero-in-terest mortgage and taxes. Molokai cur-rently has eight to 10 families lined up to receive new homes.

Moani Melcher, a single mother of three, will begin construction of her new home by next year. She and her three daughters were at the Kamalo site on Saturday, volunteering their time and hands with a generous spirit.

“I’m honored to be apart of such a unique experience,” Melcher said. “It’s the best thing; you make relationships with people.”

Melcher was “stunned” to learn that she was a chosen recipient, adding it was just “too good to be true.”

“It’s going to have a great impact on my life and the future of my kids,” she said. “I was unable to do it by myself. This could’ve never occurred if it weren’t for Habitat.”

Besides building brand new homes for clients, the program on Molokai plans to incorporate a “rehab for homes,” where run-down houses will be rehabili-tated for qualified applicants.

about habitat for humanityHabitat for Humanity is a national

nonprofit organization whose mission is to build affordable homes for low-in-come families around the world. Molo-kai became an affiliate in 1998 and is the only branch to serve poverty-stricken families on the island.

Women Build Day developed out of a partnership between Lowe’s and Habi-tat for Humanity, and is celebrating its third year on Molokai. The outpouring of women volunteers has not only high-lighted the program’s success, but that on the Friendly Isle, a good deed knows no gender.

I would like to experience more positive emotions but my mind goes towards the negative.

What’s up with that? It’s a wellness paradox.

There appears to be a paradox concerning our wellness. It appears that the brain finds it easier to attend to negative situations, especially af-ter momentary life challenges. For example, an individual may feel unsafe or threatened but there is no actual danger in the moment. On the other hand, it is very important for

human beings to experience positive emotions for building our health, our relationships, and our psychological reserves. So, if positive experiences do not outweigh negative ones in our external environment, then we may benefit from generating life-giving, internal environments through the gift of relaxation, imagination, grati-tude, savoring, interest, and joy, to name a few. Quieting our negative radar and enhancing our capacity to be kind to oneself may help with the wellness paradox.

Molokai High School’s Mason Horner and Kanahele Mon-tizor made it to the tennis

state championships last week in Kai-lua-Kona, representing Molokai with their double prowess. They came away just one game shy of entering the finals.

Seniors Horner and Montizor defeated a team from Baldwin High School, 6-4, 6-3, but were later elimi-nated by Kilani High School of Hono-lulu – who rank seventh in state – 3-6, 0-6.

“It was good playing schools out of the normal Maui County schools,”

Horner said.Coach Stacey Horner said that

amid the intense pressure of compet-ing in the state championships, the boys performed well and should feel proud to make it beyond the Maui In-terscholastic League finals.

“They had a real good shot,” Sta-cey Horner added. “They took the lead [in the second game] but fell short in the end.”

Stacey Horner said this year was the last season for all the boys on the team, being they are all seniors, and will begin the recruiting process for next year.

Early AccomplishmentsDaughter of local keeps busy on Hawaii Island. By poMaika’i iaea

Aloha, my name is Pomaika’i Iaea, daughter of Loke (Iaea) and Mark Russell. I am 13

years old and attend Ke Kula ‘o Nawahiokalani’opu’u, a Hawaiian immersion charter school in Kea’au on the Big Island. I am currently danc-ing hula for Kumu Pele in Ka Halau ‘o Mahu’ilauola, attend Mahu’ilani (a Hawaiian enrichment program) with Kumu Ha’a and Kumu Kawehi. I also paddle canoe for Hui Wa’a ‘o Waiakea and model for Susan Modeling Page. Along with my extracurricular activi-ties, I have been able to manage a 3.5 GPA.

In December of 2009, my kumu gave me a homework assignment which was to write an essay about Eddie Aikau and how he showed the Hawaiian values of pono and mala-ma in his life. In February, my kumu informed me and four friends we had won awards for our accomplish-

ments. In March, I was honored to have a paid trip (along with my supportive mom) to go to Oahu and receive my prize money and a cer-tificate. I was also honored to meet the Aikau ‘ohana, Linda Ipsen (wife), Nainoa Thompson and Stuart Cole-man (author). I en-joyed the day and I look forward to the 2011 essay contest.

In February, I also represented my school at the district science fair held at the ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center. I was honored to receive a travel award to the 53rd Hawaii State Science and Engineer-ing Fair. I worked diligently on my project, entitled “Tune It Down!” On April 5-8 I headed to Oahu with a group of students to represent east Hawaii. I set up my project at the Ha-waii Convention Center and went through an inspection process, while day two was filled with endless inter-views by different judges of various agencies. The awards ceremony was held on day three. I was happy to re-ceive a certificate and a customized plaque presented to me by Maile Goo, of the Graduate Women in Science – Alpha Lambda chapter.

I’m happy of all my accomplish-ments and I encourage all teens to continue striving for excellence in all that you do.

“Providing a local product to support local retailers, ranchers and home producers”

The State Legislature has effectively blocked an innovative and cost-saving initiative to modernize the

processing of applications and renewals for Medicaid, welfare, nutrition benefits and other forms of public assistance, an-nounced Department of Human Services (DHS) Director Lillian Koller.

“By passing this misguided bill and overriding Governor Lingle’s veto, the Legislature has stopped cold the EPOD initiative. I strongly encourage the next Governor to revive our plan, because a modern processing system would greatly improve customer service while saving about $8 million each year for tax-payers.”

The Legislature blocked the EPOD plan on the Neighbor Islands, and even requires any pilot project on Oahu to stop by June 30, 2011. The new law also prevents implementation of any pilot project until DHS completes a lengthy process of adopting new administrative rules, conducting public hearings and engaging in consultation for a second time with the Hawaii Government Em-ployees Association (HGEA) – some-thing that is not normally required when

internally reorganizing a state agency, Koller pointed out.

Under the original DHS plan, the processing of applications and renewals for public assistance would take place at two consolidated centers in Honolulu and Hilo, rather than at 31 separate small offices scattered across the Islands.

Because of the efficiencies created by EPOD – including a call center, online applications and a streamlined workflow – fewer government employees would be needed to handle the caseloads. HGEA staunchly opposed any layoffs of union workers and joined with Representative John Mizuno and other legislators in conducting a statewide push to discredit the EPOD proposal.

“The new law, by design, does not allow DHS to achieve a quick solution to this crisis. Despite these constraints, DHS will continue doing all it can to improve customer service over the next seven months, but this will fall far short of the convenient and speedy system we could have implemented through EPOD, such as opening the Honolulu process-ing center in June,” Koller said.

Mikal Torg-erson feels right at

home in small towns. That’s why he chose to make Molokai his home and take on the position of Molokai Staff Planner with the

County of Maui Planning Department. Torgerson took over for former Molokai planner Nancy McPherson at the begin-ning of this year.

Torgerson, originally from a small town in rural Montana, graduated high school in Panama and attended Univer-sity of Montana to earn his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture. He went on to start two architecture firms in Colorado.

Torgerson said his wife is from Maui, and once his firms became well-established, they decided to fulfill their long term goal of relocating to Maui to be closer to her family. They moved at the end of last year, and Torgerson said they plan to become permanent residents of Molokai this July.

He said he was originally one of the applicants for the Kalaupapa Adminis-trator position, but was not chosen as the final candidate. However, when he heard about the Molokai Staff Planner opening, he knew it was for him.

“The planning position suited my skill set perfectly,” said Torgerson, refer-ring to his background in architecture and planning.

Torgerson said his main goal as

Molokai planner is to expedite the proj-ects that come before him so people will be less likely to build without proper permitting. He says he hopes to build confidence in the Planning Department so that the County won’t stall on projects or be seen by applicants as “capricious.”

It must be a small world, because he said he has already met seven or eight people on Molokai from the same rural area of Montana from which he hails.

“A similar thing draws us all there [to Molokai] – friendly people, a small town atmosphere, and lots of natural beauty.”

HI Finest is at it again with another huge concert – the heartbeat and power of reg-

gae drum and bass, the soulful tone in the voices and instruments, the poetic words and kaona (multiple meanings) of the lyrics, leads to the conscious-ness needed to stand strong as a people and move forward together in these difficult times. In this respect, coming together from different b a c k g ro u n d s , music influences, and styles – JP Kennedy, Caleb Keolanui, Zion Thompson, and Ikaika Antone call themselves The Green.

Because Katchafire was such a huge success I’ve decided to throw another huge concert sooner than ex-pected, and there’s no other band I could have considered bringing to the Friendly Isle than The Green. They are the hottest band Hawaii’s seen in years, put on a crazy show, and are made up of a bunch of talented, grounded brad-dahs that insisted on jamming here on the Friendly Isle.

In April 2009, four friends united to bring the world an eclectic mix of music, inspired and drawn from many different sources. The Green’s self titled album debuted at No. 3 on the reggae billboard charts and has remained in the top 10 for over 12 weeks. The Green has been the best selling album in the state of Hawaii since its release in Feb-ruary of this year, and currently sits in the top 10 on iTunes for album sales in the reggae genre. Since its humble be-ginnings, The Green has been packing every show, has multiple songs on the top countdowns on every local music station, and has become a local phe-nomenon. Now, fresh off a U.S. tour which consisted of 16 cities and 20-plus shows alongside Miss Anuhea, The Green has returned to its roots in Ha-waii to give the countless reggae fans a taste of Green music.

Although The Green is a show in

itself, HI Finest decided to treat the is-land of Molokai with another headline act, the talented Anuhea. She is often found alongside The Green on stage as well as on top of countdowns on ev-ery local station with her latest single, “Come Over Love.” She also has a self

entitled album out that been rocking Hawaii with songs like “Right Love,” “Wrong Time” and “Big Deal.” Also on the line-up Molokai’s own Irie Alert and Alike Lani, formerly of the group Pound 4 Pound. Friday night is going to

be full of good music and is expected to sell out. Along with good music, The Green, Anuhea, and HI Finest mer-chandise will be available.

I wanted to thank everyone who helped out and came out for the Katchafire concert last month. It was by far one of the best concerts and high-lights of my life. Good music, good people, good vibes, and just an amaz-ing night – all dedicated to Scotty Boy who we all miss. Molokai is such spe-cial place full of support which makes putting on a concert so enjoyable.

Even though The Green concert hasn’t taken place yet, HI Finest is al-ready working on future concerts for the summer including an Old School Bash featuring Ho’aikane, Braddah Waltah, and Mana’o Company. HI Finest is also working on their sum-mer clothing line of men, women and children clothes which will be available early June. A special HI Finest Line will be made and sold at the concert. For more info on HI Finest concerts, gear and news, check out HIFINEST.com. Also check out TheGreenMusic.com and Anuheajams.com for info on them. We like to thank Molokai for the sup-port and for staying country. I love the city but there’s absolutely no place like home. We also like to thank our friends and families and Akua. Scotty – here’s another one for you.

Polynesian InkTattooist Tricia Allen comes for Molokai book signing.By catherine cluett

Tricia Allen sits with the books she’s authored spread before her, pen in hand. A lei poò rests atop her salt

and pepper hair, her fair-skinned face curv-ing in a mild-mannered smile. A couple of tattoos peak out of her Hawaiian print shirt. But you’d never guess by looking at her that Allen is a tattooist and expert on Polynesian tattoo history and art.

“It’s a mark that identifies who you are and where you’ve been,” Allen says of tattoos.

A Kaneòhe resident, Allen visited Molokai last Saturday for a book signing at Kalele Bookstore in Kaunakakai. Her most recent book, “The Polynesian Tattoo To-day,” is a compilation of 216 photos repre-senting the work of 73 artists from around the globe. The event attracted a generous audience, from local tattoo artists to “tattoo virgins,” curious to find out more.

“I’ve wanted to meet this woman for 15 years,” said Teri Waros, owner of Kalele Bookstore and Divine Expressions.

creative processWhile her last book, “Tattoo Tradi-

tions of Hawaii,” delves more into the history and context of tattoos in Hawaii, “The Polynesian Tattoo Today” has very little text – a sure hit on your coffee table. It beautifully highlights the artists’ work itself.

“Lots of people just want to share their art and not write about it,” she ex-plains.

To create the book, Allen contacted many of the world’s most well-respected Polynesian tattooists she had met or heard of. She asked them to send photos of their work or contact their clients for photos. In some cases, she arranged photo shoots to capture the images. Out of 748 submis-sions, 216 images made the final cut. The product is a stunning presentation of the best Polynesian-style tattoos around the globe, from small pieces to art that covers much of the body.

Allen has traveled the world studying Polynesian tattoo traditions, and combines her academic background with an organic and deeply cultural understanding of the art. She says the average time with a cli-ent before completing the tattoo is eight months. That time is spent getting to know her client and helping them design a tattoo that means something to them. Both body placement and the design itself influences the meaning of a Polynesian tattoo. Every symbol has meaning, though that mean-ing can be different for each individual, ac-cording to Allen.

tattoos and academiaAllen hasn’t always had a passion for

tattoos. She was working at the Denver Art Museum, where there was a display fea-turing a full body tattoo.

“I used to walk by the display, think-ing ‘why would anyone do that?’”

But Allen’s interest in tattoos grew – sparked, she says, by an interest in the cultural, historical and artistic aspect of Polynesian tattoo traditions. She went on to get her master’s degree in Anthropology from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, completing her master’s thesis on the early practice of tattooing in the Marquesas Is-lands.

She continued her studies, research-ing the revival tattooing in the Pacific Islands, including Samoa, Aotearoa, the Society Islands, the Marquesas, Rapa Nui and Hawaii. She trained to become a tat-tooist herself, and has now tattooed over 8,000 members of the Polynesian commu-nity.

“Now half my friends look like that guy in the case at the museum,” she laughs.

learning the artTattoos aren’t always pretty – some-

times they’re ugly, Allen admits. But they are a part of you, often marking important transitions in your life. She says the first time she held a tattoo machine, she was tattooing herself. The results weren’t nec-essarily pretty but proved a valuable part of her training.

She says she makes her apprentices learn the same way. One of the biggest challenges of tattooing, she explains, is using the right amount of pressure to hit certain depths of the skin tissue. The only way to learn what is too deep and what will fade is to observe that tattoo over a period of time. You can either do that by learning on yourself or learning on your dog, she laughs.

Allen has campaigned for hygienic practices around the world, and says she has seen a huge improvement in some areas. She has also worked to revise state statutes for tattoo licensing and testing for people to become a legal tattooists.

Allen talked with her audience about the challenges of tattooing, its history and revival in the Pacific Islands, its cultural and social implications today, and her own manaò as a tattooist.

“I’m just a tool in this process – to find out what’s in your mind, put it on paper, and eventually on the skin,” Allen explained.

Allen’s books are available at Kalele Bookstore, Coffees of Hawaii, Molokai Public Library, on Allen’s website, www.thepolynesiantattoo.com, and other loca-tions.

Christopher Souloumiac of Positif Tattoo in Aubagne, France, freehanded this beautiful back-piece on Christophe in 8 sessions of approximately 5 hours each. For Christophe the tattoo symbolizes power, protection and harmony. Photo and caption courtesy of Tricia Allen.

It was a week of intense fun and fundraising for Akaùla School, which hosted both the Spring Disco

and a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta. Last Wednesday brought a night of

Latin dance, raffled piñatas handmade

by Akaùla students and parents, and a grand prize of a helicopter tour of Halawa Valley and Molo-kai’s north coast. The Spring Disco was also a hit last Friday evening, where a lively group of keiki and teens danced the night away.

Akaùla encountered a shortfall with funding this year – about $3,500 short – which

prompted an emergency meeting in April to discuss fundraising options. Two ideas that emerged were the Spring Disco and the Cinco de Mayo Fiesta, said parent and fundraiser orga-nizer Alicia Bicoy.

“It’s challenging to find resources when living on a small island,” Bicoy said. “And it’s difficult asking the same people year after year to give money. They just can’t do it, especially with this economy.”

Pictured left, Akaùla students gathered to sing “La Bamba,” a Mexi-can folk song, in honor of Cinco de Mayo. Held at Hotel Molokai, the eve-ning also featured music by Molokai Jazz and the new hit band, MoPac, com-prised of half the members of Mobettah band and half of Six Pak.

At the disco, youth packed Mitch-ell Pauole Center – some released their energy on the dance floor with break-

dancing moves, while others enjoyed concession snacks and cruised with friends.

Maui County holds discos at Mitchell Pauole Center once a month with a $2 cover charge, donating a portion of those proceeds to organi-zations who wish to “piggy back” on the already existing event to help raise money. Akaùla received $1 of the cover charge and any profit made from the concession snacks.

Bicoy added the school also of-fered chicken plates at $8 a piece to help raise funds that would help cover the school’s operational costs, teachers’ salaries and other yearly expenditures.

Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19): What happens when some-one “sells out”? Typically, it refers to a person who overrides her highest artistic standards or her soul’s mandates in or-der to make a bundle of money. But I want to enlarge the definition to encompass any behavior that seeks popular appeal at the expense of authenticity, or any action that sacrifices integrity for the sake of gaining power. I think you have to be especially on guard against this lapse in the coming days, Aries -- not only in yourself but also in those you’re close to.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “I can’t live the button-down life,” says cartoon character Homer Simpson. “I want it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy mid-dles.” Born May 10, Homer is unusual for a Taurus. Many of your tribe love the creamy middles but are quite con-tent to live without the terrifying lows, even if that means being deprived of your fair share of dizzying highs. While that may sometimes seem like a boring limitation, I don’t expect it to be any time soon. The creamy middles that are looming for you are the lushest, plushest creamy middles I’ve seen in a long time. Terrifying lows and dizzying highs will be irrelevant.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Spanish painter Francisco Goya created an etching entitled “El Sueño de la Razón Pro-duce Monstruos.” Its two possible translations have very different meanings: “The sleep of reason produces mon-sters” or “The dream of reason produces monsters.” The first version suggests that when our reasoning faculties go dor-mant, we’re susceptible to doing dumb and crazy things. The second version implies that if we rely excessively on our reasoning faculty, it acquires a lunatic hubris that de-values our emotions and distorts our imagination. You’re more susceptible to the former than the latter right now, Gemini, but it’s crucial that you avoid both. A way out of your pain is available if you use your reason just right -- neither too little nor too much.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Some of your illusions seeped into you before you learned to talk. Others sneaked into you later, while you were busy figuring out how to become yourself. Eventually, you even made conscious choices to adopt certain illusions because they provided you with comfort and consolation. There’s no need to be ashamed of this. It’s a natural part of being a human being. Having said that, I’m happy to announce that you’re entering a phase when you will have the power to shed at least some of your illusions -- especially the ones you consciously chose -- in ways that don’t hurt you. To begin the process, declare this intention: “I have the courage to see life as it really is.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to a statute in the state of Indiana, you may not use your bare hands to catch a fish from a lake. In Fairbanks, Alaska, you’re breaking the law if you let a moose slurp an alcoholic drink. In Flowery Branch, Georgia, you may be arrested if you shout out “Snake!” Arizona doesn’t permit you to let a donkey sleep in your bathtub. And yet I’ve got to say that you Leos could probably get away with all of these acts and more in the coming weeks. The omens suggest that your levels of free-dom are extremely high, as is your amount of slack. You’ll have clearance to do many things you wouldn’t normally be able to do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I didn’t think it was possible, but paranoid visions of doom and gloom have become even more popular in the past few years than ever before. Apocalypse-watching is no longer a fringe hobby reserved for conspiracy fetishists; it has gone mainstream. And yet here I am in the midst of the supposed mayhem, babbling my eccentric ideas about how we are living in the single most wonderful time in the history of civilization. So let me ask you a crucial question, especially if you’re one of the millions of normal people who believes that cynicism is a supreme sign of intelligence: Do you really want to be

getting your fortune told by a rebel optimist like me? You should know that all my horoscopes are rooted in the hy-pothesis that expecting the best makes you happier, safer, kinder, wilder, stronger, and smarter. What happens in the coming weeks will, in my opinion, be dramatic proof of that.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The bad news is that climate change is really underway. That’s why Purbasha Island in the Bay of Bengal has sunk beneath the waves, swallowed up by rising sea levels and shifts in monsoon patterns. The good news is that its disappearance has ended a dispute between India and Bangladesh, both of which claimed it as their own. There’s nothing left to fight over. I foresee a metaphorically comparable scenario coming to your life, Libra: an act of nature that will render a conflict irrelevant.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some experts say metham-phetamine is more addictive than any other drug. Here’s one reason why, according to “Mothers Against Metham-phetamines” founder Dr. Mary Holley: “The effect of an IV hit of methamphetamine is the equivalent of 10 orgasms all on top of each other lasting for 30 minutes to an hour, with a feeling of arousal that lasts for another day and a half.” At least that’s what it’s like in the early stages of using the drug. After a while, hell sets in and the body is no lon-ger happy. Luckily, you Scorpios won’t be tempted to fall victim to meth splurges any time soon. Without relying on anything more than your natural powers, your capacity for experiencing erotic pleasure will be substantial.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your eyes can discrimi-nate between about 500 various shades of gray. Let’s hope your moral compass is as precise in its power to distinguish subtle differences. Why? Because there will be no easy black-versus-white decisions to make in the near future; no simple, foolproof way to determine the distinctions be-tween good and bad. I recommend that for now you give up hope of achieving utter certainty, and instead celebrate the refined pleasures of nuanced, complicated truth.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): These days you have an ex-traordinary capacity to perform magic. And when I use that word “magic,” I mean it in a very specific sense: causing practi-cal changes to occur in accordance with your most noble and beautiful desires. I’m not talking about the kind of “magic” that helps you gratify mediocre wishes or tawdry fantasies. I’m not saying you should go on an acquisitive binge as you gather up booty and bragging points. Rather I’m letting you know that you have the power to create inspiring transformations in the way your life works.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do you want to know where all the power lies for you right now? It’s nowhere. Do you want to know what the nature of that power is? It’s nothing. But before you jump to conclusions about the meaning of what I just said, read this passage from Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching, translated by Stephen Mitchell: “We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move. We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want. We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it livable.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A Pisces woman I know was harried by ant swarms invading her kitchen. She could have run out to the drug store and brought home loads of poisonous little ant hotels. Instead, she gave her imagina-tion the go-ahead to brainstorm. Soon she’d come up with a solution. She scooped up a host of ants and threw them in a blender with the other ingredients of her smoothie, then drank it all down. The next day, all the ants had de-parted, as if scared off by the Great Devourer. I suggest you learn from her example, both in the sense of being open to outlandish possibilities and in the sense of finding alter-nate ways to deal with adversaries.

Nefarious. Extremely wicked or villainous.

Aloha Aunty here again. W o o e e e

did you go to the Ag Fair? It was so cool. My kumu, Aunty Kauila and Aunty Molly were

two of the judges for the lei contest. I neglected to write the other two auntys’ names down, auwe! The lei were the most beautiful ones I’ve ever seen. I’m sure it would take me hours but I’ll bet it wasn’t like that for these experts. Sean Naauau was so fabu-lous. The chickens were clucking, the horses were moving in a circle and the food booths were cooking up a storm. Great fair! Way more cool then the

famous Puyallup Fair in Washington State.

My sweet friend Aunty Ku’ulei is in the hospital. She is doing well but I wish she didn’t have to go in there. The sign said please respect her rest and only have no more than four peo-ple at a time and stay five minutes. When I was near the door there was lively music. I went in and found at least 10 people, what a party! I had to laugh. I had to dance a hula for her. Kissed her on the cheek and left, didn’t want to tire her out. Tee Hee.

The Hui at Home Pumehana hosted the Kamehameha Guitar Club. There were 10 young men and women who played and sang and even did a funny tango. They helped out at One

Ali’i fish pond before performing for us. They were a delight. The Baptist Church is hosting a Ladies Through-out the Generations, May 15. Ladies will be sharing their memories. They can come dressed in the style of their generation. Sounds like fun!

One of my subscribers called all the way from Santa Fe, New Mexico. She used to live here for 30 years. Wow. There was a very tall gentle-man that came into the Dispatch the other day. He had a very long, beautiful feather that was an Eagle feather. I asked him how he could have that. He said his grandmother was Shoshone and someone gave it to him. So cool. I’m still looking for someone to come and read or tell me

what my wall hangings say. They are all in Chinese. I am so excited that I was given a scholarship to go back to school at the MCC Molokai. I am go-ing to take basic Hawaiian language, basic Hawaiian cultural practices, and intro to Hawaiian culture.

Our beautiful Kanoe has moved to Hilo on the Big Island. I am going to be taking over her position. Send me good vibes because she was the very best at doing all this. She will be working from her home so you may always reach her by e-mail: [email protected].

Ua lawa paha kēia a hui hou kēkou [this is perhaps enough until we meet next time]. Aloha no, Aunty Kapua

Many gathered on Molokai last Friday to celebrate the life of Marybeth Yuen

Maul, who served the community as an attorney, judge and admin-istrator of Kalaupapa Settlement. Maul, who became one of Hawaii’s pioneering women attorneys, died on April 23 in Eugene, Oregon. She was 85.

She was the first woman judge of Asian Pacific American ancestry in Hawaii, according Toni Palermo, of the Kamehameha V Judiciary History Center in Honolulu.

“[Maul] was a pioneer and a role model,” said Douglas Chong, president of the Hawaii Chinese History Center. “She was an inspi-ration because her roots were from Molokai, and yet she could achieve so much. It’s not often that people move away, become very success-ful, and come back to their roots.”

Marybeth Yuen was born in Ho-nolulu in 1925. She was the daugh-ter of Yun Kee Yuen, who opened the first pineapple plantation store on Molokai in the early 1920s.

During the school year, she lived with her grandparents in Ho-nolulu while attending Hanahauoli and Punahou schools. Each sum-mer, the Yuen children looked for-ward to coming home to Molokai. They’d hop on a tugboat, towing a barge to the island, then ride in a truck on a dirt road up the moun-tain to Maunaloa.

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, Maul’s parents sent her and her siblings to live in Madi-son, Wisconsin, where she gradu-ated from high school. She earned her law degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1950 and worked as a labor lawyer in Chicago.

In the 50’s, Maul returned to Molokai to help her father with his four grocery stores, and became treasurer of Kualapu`u Market. For many years, Maul was also the only practicing attorney on the

Friendly Island, often work-ing pro bono, and counseling members of the community. Maul married Frank Maul in the 50s, but they later di-vorced and she raised her two daughters on Molokai.

“Her practice was not marked by celebrated causes, famous clients, or extravagant financial returns. Instead, she ministered to the needs of cli-ents who often were too poor to pay her in cash and whose gratitude was sometimes her only reward,” wrote Karen Holt, in the book “Called from Within, Early Women Lawyers of Hawaii.”

Maul was always finding gifts of fruit or vegetables on her doorstep. One time a client repaid Maul with a rare Chinese chicken, with black skin and white feathers. She named the bird “Seymour.”

Maul felt it was her kuleana to help others. “When my husband suddenly died of a heart attack, she took care of all our legal mat-ters, and wouldn’t charge a cent,” said former Molokai resident Ellen Nishimura. “She also got my son a scholarship at Mid Pacific Institute, so he could continue his studies in Honolulu during a difficult time for our family.”

Maul served as Molokai magis-trate from 1957 to 1971, and later as a Molokai District Court judge.

“She went way beyond what a judge is required to do,” said Rev. Lynette Schaefer, former vicar of Grace Episcopal Church on Molo-kai.

“When you think of judges, they’re often sending people to jail, and nothing changes. Marybeth did what she could before they got to that level, to give them an oppor-tunity to change. And a hope for the future.”

Also an entrepreneur, Maul started Molokai’s first and only Chinese restaurant with her family in 1963, called Hop Inn.

Maul ended her career serving the people of Kalaupapa Settlement as administrator for seven years, retiring in 1992. “She had faith in me,” said Gloria Marks. “I was very afraid to talk in front of peo-ple. She was pushing me, to speak up for myself, and also the needs of the patients. She was a good teach-er,” added Marks, now president of the Kalaupapa Patients Advisory Council.

Maul said she loved living on Molokai because “the people are real.” She enjoyed exploring its rug-ged coastline and lush valleys with her `ohana.

The Molokai Veteran’s building permit is still on hold by Maui County Department of Water

Supply (DWS). DWS says there is not enough water for fire protection; in or-der to have legal requirement, an up-grade from 4 inch water line to 8 inch is needed. If this is the case most of Kaunakakai’s buildings would be ille-gal at this time.

Molokai Petroleum tanks next to the Veteran property would need a 100 inch water line for protection, God forbid if a fire was to happen. A year and a half ago, Maui County issued a building permit to a newcomer to build a new house on a 3 inch water line about two hundred feet from the Vet-eran property. The house is built. In the three and a half years of the Molo-kai Veteran Special Management Area (SMA) permit process, the director of the Department of Water Supply stated in a letter to the Maui Planning Depart-ment that there is an 8 inch water line fronting the Veteran property.

The politics of getting the build-ing permit and the way the system

works now is redundant, inefficient, not cost effective, and not pono.

All Molokai Veterans are asked to come to the property on Wednes-day, May 19, at 4 p.m. to decide what to do (lawsuit, protest, sell property). Come kuka kuka (talk story) on the fu-ture of Molokai Veterans. My involve-ment in this project from the beginning has been strictly for the betterment of Molokai Veterans, all Veterans, and the community. The County process and politics has stifled the energy and the goals of the organization.

The Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans organization will host their first public memorial service program on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31, 9:30 a.m. at the Ho’olehua Veteran Cemetery. Families of loved ones who served this country who want to share a memory are welcomed. For more information, call the Molokai Veteran Center, 553-8387, Mon, Wed, Fri from 10 – 2 p.m.

Three cheers to Walter Ritte for hosing the anti-GMO protest. The reasons given for having the

rally were all valid to me, being a 29-year cancer survivor. I am adding two products that Walter forgot to mention made by Monsanto that I have also had to delete from my diet in order to stay alive.

1) RBGH, or Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone, is used to make cows grow bigger, faster and produce more milk, shortening their lives con-siderably.

2) Aspartame, found in over 5,000 household foods, is 16,000 times sweet-er than sugar, according to the book “Why There’s Antifreeze in your Tooth-paste – The Chemistry of Household Ingredients” by Simon Quellen Field. When I stopped using aspartame, I stopped having seizures – which began soon after I began its use.

So nice to see the recognition of love for the human race instead of busi-ness as usual. Thanks Walter and all who showed up.

My òha-na and I would

like to thank all the special people who helped make my first birthday so wonderful; from

the set-up crew, decorations, gathering of food, preparation of food & pupus, including the imu crew, kitchen crew,

entertainment and sounds, lighting, clean- up, and everything in between (you know who you are & you are ap-preciated!). Also, a big mahalo to all my family and family friends for your love, your gifts, and for celebrating with me! I love you all!
