The top finishers in the county will qualify for the sectional competition. The top four finishers in each age group at sectionals will advance to a national competition that usually takes place in January. In 2010, the national competition was held at Qualcomm Stadium before a San Diego Chargers playoff game. More than three million boys and girls from around the country take part in the PPK Competition every year.

Highway T he University of Hawaii (UH) Maui College, Molokai Education Center will be able to expand their facilities and services now that Molokai Properties Ltd., also known as Molokai Ranch, sold them a 3.2-acre parcel of land surrounding the current campus in Kaunakakai. The final purchase price has not been disclosed, though the Dispatch reported in 2011 an agreement had been made for $500,000 Donna Haytko-Paoa, site coordinator for the college, said the land will offer the opportunity to expand the campus to include such possible additions as a natural science and marine center, a large amphitheater and additional lecture spaces. The newly-purchased area is located west of the campus towards Duke Maliu Park. Before the college was established at the site in 1999, the entire area, owned by Molokai Ranch, was leased to Monsanto and used as corn fields. “This purchase will eventually expand the college’s Molokai Education Center and strengthen our capacity to provide more higher education and economic opportun ities,” said UH Maui College Chancellor Dr. Clyde Sakamoto in a news release. A Long Wait Public Road At the start of last school year, Hao promised students that if they made the state Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) standards this year, he would dye his hair green and spike it. MHS failed to meet the benchmark this year, in large part due to a technical error, according to Hao. In order to meet the safe harbor provision -- another way to satisfy the proficiency percentage targets in reading and math under the federal No Child Left Behind law -- a school must show 10 percent improvement from the prior year in test scores, as well as meet a certain percentage of graduate rates. Last year, MHS students improved 13 percent in reading --from 48 to 61 percent -- and 21 percent in math --from 15 to 36 percent. With these improvements, MHS should have made AYP safe harbor value this year. However, this year’s graduation rate requirement was 82 percent, while MHS reported 78 per- New Development Cornfield Photo by Eileen Chao care facility, student meeting area, a natural science and marine center and a large amphitheater that would host each year’s graduation ceremony as well as serve as a venue for the community. These dreams may become a reality now that the college has finally acquired the land to build it on, according to HaytkoPaoa. Currently, the college is working with PBR Hawaii --an urban planning firm --to draft a long-range development plan that Haytko-Paoa hopes to guide the college’s mission for the next 10 years at least. The plan will be reviewed and finalized by the Molokai Community Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) next year. “We’re not there yet, but I’d love to see it within the next decade,” said Haytko-Paoa. For Haytko-Paoa, who has worked for the college for the past 28 years, the acquisition of this land has been a long time coming. In the original Molokai Community Plan drafted in 1994, the college and county had set aside 15 acres of land for the college. Because funds were not available at the time, they split the development into phases, starting with the existing two acres of land, donated by the Ranch in 1993. That original acreage allowed the college to establish their permanent home with a Developing Partnerships Along with selling the land to the college, Clay Rumbaoa, 2,000 square-foot facility that boasts a student learning center, CEO of the 54,000-acre Molokai Ranch said he hopes to estabcomputer lab and a number of small classrooms.

Petrie, who moved to Molokai in July of this year, had previously worked with Mother Teresa of Calcutta, serving “the poorest of the poor” for 25 years. He is happy to call Molokai home now, saying at his celebration, “Mother Teresa did something in heaven and I got here.” Photo by Eileen Chao Two New Midwives at Hospital MGH News Release Molokai General Hospital (MGH) would like to officially welcome two new certified Nurse Midwives, Jennifer Baumstark and Katie Bussard. They bring to Molokai a plethora of education, knowledge and experience. We are confident that they will meet and exceed the expectations of the patients they serve here at the Women’s Health Center. Jennifer Baumstark graduated from Illinois State University with a bachelor’s degree in biology and chemistry. She continued her education at Mennonite College of Nursing, after which she received her master’s degree from the University of Illinois-Chicago. Over the past 20 years, she has worked in all areas of midwifery. However, after working in a hospital that delivered an average of 22 babies a day, Jennifer had a desire to focus more on individualized patient care. She hopes to give time, devotion and encouragement to each woman she encounters, regardless of their circumstance. Katie Bussard graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Nursing from Winston-Salem University in 2000. She worked in maternity and emergency room nursing for 11 New Midwives Katie Bussard and Jennifer Baumstark. Photo Courtesy Kala Bishaw-Juario years. In 2010, she graduated from Frontier Nursing University --the birthplace of midwifery and advanced practice nursing in the U.S. --with a master’s degree concentrating on Nurse-Midwifery. Before moving with her family to Molokai, Katie worked with Native Americans on a Navajo Reservation in Arizona, blending traditional birthing practices with modern medicine to deliver family-centric midwifery care. Katie understands the personal care and support a midwife offers expectant mothers from first-hand experience. “It is my hope to provide the same personalized, high-quality and evidence-based care to the women I service every day,” she said. “I am grateful and honored to be given the privilege of serving the women and families of Molokai.” The Molokai Dispatch at your service!

Neighboring News Bio-Logical Capital Agrees to Buy Hana Ranch By Eileen Chao | Managing Editor H ana Ranch Partners signed a sale agreement last week to pass ownership of its cattle ranch on Maui to Bio-Logical Capital, the land development company that teamed up with Pattern Energy last year and formed joint venture Molokai Renewables to study the feasibility of developing a 200-megawatt wind farm on Molokai. Guy Kaulukukui, Bio-Logical Capital’s senior vice president, said the company plans to preserve and possibly expand Hana Ranch’s cattle operations. “We are truly humbled to take on the kuleana of this remarkable ranch,” said Kaulukukui in a news release. “It is at once a privilege and a great responsibility… [Hana has] the potential to become a model for sustainable ranching and farming practices in the state.” The Ranch started in 1944 with only 1,400 acres of land and a herd of cattle brought over from Molokai, according to The Maui News. Today, it boasts 1,200 head of cattle on 4,500 acres of pasture. While the selling price for the deal was not disclosed, Hana Ranch is listed at $55 million by Island Sotheby’s International Realty. For those on Molokai concerned with the implications of Bio-Logical’s increased presence on Maui for the widelycontested windmill project on the Friendly Island, there has been no identified connection between the two projects. “The wind energy project envisaged by Molokai Renewables has the potential to provide the Molokai community with the chance to invest in its own future at a level that may be unattainable by any other means,” said Kaulukukui in an email. He stressed that Bio-Logical Capital will not be pursuing a wind energy project in Hana. Senator J. Kalani English, a Hana native and resident, called Bio-Logical Capital a “natural fit”. “I believe Bio-Logical Capital’s deep respect for the land, passion for thoughtful and sensitive stewardship of Hana Ranch, and willingness to contribute to the betterment of our families makes them a natural fit with my hometown of Hana,” said English. Bio-Logical Capital will conduct a due diligence phase to learn more about the ranch’s potential and to hear from the community before finalizing the sale. Smuggling Deer Across Islands By Eileen Chao | Managing Editor H elicopter pilot Thomas Leroy Hauptman pleaded guilty to illegally transporting axis deer from Maui to the Big Island, on Monday. He could be sentenced to over $10,000 in fines and up to a year in prison. The alleged animal smugglers flew four axis deer from Maui to the Big Island to be used by hunters as living targets, and brought back about a dozen mouflon sheep from the Big Island to a Maui hunting ranch back in 2009. The owner of the ranch, Jeffrey Scott Grundhauser, is also facing possible jail time for selling wildlife without the proper permit. Because axis deer and mouflon sheep are not native species to Hawaii, their presence has damaged fragile native ecosystems and farms on the islands where they’ve become established. Many conservationists are worried that the introduction of these species may cause detrimental damage for their island. “Some of our most endangered dry forest community on Maui would definitely be negatively impacted if sheep got established on Maui,” said Chuck Chimera, a botanist involved in efforts to fight invasive species on Maui. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has offered up to a $2,500 reward for callers who report wildlife crimes like the illegal transport of wild animals. Earlier this year, they partnered with the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to set up a confidential, toll-free tipline. “The DLNR will vigorously investigate and prosecute anyone attempting to illegally transport and release deer between the islands in the future,” said DLNR Chairperson William J. Aila. “[We] ha[ve] the responsibility to do what we can to prevent the introduction of deer to the Big Island and avoid the damage that would occur to our agriculture, watersheds, and public safety.” Anyone with information on illegal animal transport or release is asked to call 1-855-DLNR-TIP or 861-8525.

Education & Island Youth The Molokai Dispatch • Aug 29, 2012 • 3 Community Contributed North Shore Stand Up Paddle Race Series By Clare Mawae Alex Mawae, 10, had the chance to paddle with some of the world’s finest paddlers when the World Series came to Turtle Bay Resort on Aug. 12. He placed third in the junior division. The event was combined with the North Shore Stand Up Paddle Race series, sponsored by Turtle Bay, Naish Hawaii and Pacifico. Alex participated in the sprint portion of the race, with a newfound cheering squad of paddlers and visitors as he paddled the course. Competing amongst boys that were twice his size in the 16 and under category, Alex proved his ability to be a future top contender amongst professional paddlers. Alex will head back to Turtle Bay for Naish Hawaii’s next race on Sept. 1 and hopefully again for the final event of the World Series in October.

This summer, Molokai Middle School (MMS) tried to make the transition for students a little bit easier with a summer program funded by the 21st Century grant program. The summer program, open to current MMS students and incoming seventh graders, offered classes in academics, physical fitness and arts and crafts. MMS strove to increase student achievement this summer by challenging learners in various areas of education, especially math and science. Students learned how to properly create a science project, review the scientific process, complete experiments and document research. Students also practiced reading comprehension and writing skills. In addition to academic classes, the program offered physical fitness classes that incorporated nutrition, weight and exercise concepts with fun team-building activities, which helped the new seventh graders make friends. MHS Continued From pg. 1 cent. Hao said that the graduation rate submitted was an error -- the number reported actually applied to the class of 2011. A preliminary report showed a graduation rate for the class of 2012 to be 86 percent, accounting for 11 students with documentation that opted for alternative GED programs. Hao submitted an appeal to the Department of Education (DOE), but it was not accepted. Still, Hao looks forward to the new school year, considering possible motivational options -- among them, having his hair braided into cornrows or lengthened with extensions, he joked at the school community council (SCC) meeting last week. “I didn’t dye my hair because technically we didn’t make AYP, but we definitely need to do something for [the students’] achievements,” said Hao. A Busy Summer While the students have been out Lastly, there were also classes in drama, art and sewing. Beginning and advanced sewing classes were open to the public, and students made their own patchwork pillowcases and were given a binder of sample stitches, helpful hints and other tools that would guide them through future sewing projects. Students also participated in Hawaiian values classes which helped link Hawaiian values such as aloha and laulima--to work together - with everyday practices, past and present. They learned the importance of community, ending the summer with a fieldtrip to clean up a beach and work in a lo`i. If you are interested in learning more about the 21st Century grant program at MMS, contact Lyn Bonk at 567-6940 or Sandra Czajkowski at 658-0609. MMS was successful in making school feel a little more like home, as confirmed by incoming seventh grader Nikki Augustiro, who said she enjoyed getting to know her soon-to-be classmates. Have fun in school, new seventh graders, it’s the beginning of a new adventure. for summer vacation, MHS has still been buzzing with improvements. Most notable among these is the establishing of two farms on campus -one commercial farm and one permaculture farm. The two projects were made possible by community partnerships --Monsanto helped clear the land, Mycogen provided irrigation, and grassroots organization Sust`aina ble Molokai put on education workshops for teachers and staff. “We definitely have different models of agriculture now, which is important especially because we come from a plantation history,” said Hao. “We’re teaching students to look at agriculture as agribusiness, a viable option or way of living.” He hopes to secure a federal grant, “From the Garden to the Table,” that would allow MHS to use the food they grow in the cafeteria. MHS also received support from 10 AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers this summer, many of whom were recent MHS graduates. In addition to mentoring MHS students for their senior projects, the volunteers cleaned and arranged classrooms and worked on establishing the permaculture farm, including the AWANA Ministries for Keiki By Kelly Go Approved Workmen Are Not Afraid (AWANA) Ministries is offering an outreach program to children ages 3 to 18 years old.

As for that rather shabby emotional baggage of yours: Would you consider hauling it to the dump? In conclusion, my dear Ram, you’re due for a few adjustments. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Is happiness mostly just an absence of pain? If so, I bet you’ve been pretty content lately. But what if a more enchanting and exciting kind of bliss were available? Would you have the courage to go after it? Could you summon the chutzpah and the zeal and the visionary confidence to head out in the direction of a new frontier of joy? I completely understand if you feel shy about asking for more. You might worry that to do so would be greedy, or put you at risk of losing what you have already scored. But I feel it’s my duty to cheer you on. The potential rewards looming just over the hump are magnificent. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I’ve got some medicine for you to try, Gemini. It’s advice from the writer Thomas Merton. “To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns,” he wrote, “to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to the violence of our times.” It’s always a good idea to heed that warning, of course. But it’s especially crucial for you right now. The best healing work you can do is to shield your attention from the din of the outside world and tune in reverently to the glimmers of the inside world. CANCER (June 21-July 22): I dreamed you were a magnanimous taskmaster nudging the people you care about to treat themselves with more conscientious tenderness. You were pestering them to raise their expectations and hew to higher standards of excellence. Your persistence was admirable! You coaxed them to waste less time and make long-range educational plans and express themselves with more confidence and precision. You encouraged them to give themselves a gift now and then and take regular walks by bodies of water. They were suspicious of your efforts to make them feel good, at least in the early going. But eventually they gave in and let you help them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the spirit of Sesame Street, I’m happy to announce that this week is brought to you by the letter T, the number 2, and the color blue. Here are some of the “T” words you should put extra emphasis on: togetherness, trade-offs, tact, timeliness, tapestry, testability, thoroughness, teamwork, and Themis (goddess of order and justice). To bolster your mastery of the number 2, meditate on interdependence, balance, and collaboration. As for blue, remember that its presence tends to bring stability and depth. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the creation myths of Easter Island’s native inhabitants, the god who made humanity was named Makemake. He was also their fertility deity. Today the name Makemake also belongs to a dwarf planet that was discovered beyond the orbit of Neptune in 2005. It’s currently traveling through the sign of Virgo. I regard it as being the heavenly body that best symbolizes your own destiny in the coming months. In the spirit of the original Makemake, you will have the potential to be a powerful maker. In a sense you could even be the architect and founder of your own new world. Here’s a suggestion: Look up the word “creator” in a 5 thesaurus, write the words you find there on the back of your business card, and keep the card in a special place until May 2013. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When novelist James Joyce began to suspect that his adult daughter Lucia was mentally ill, he sought advice from psychologist Carl Jung. After a few sessions with her, Jung told her father that she was schizophrenic. How did he know? A telltale sign was her obsessive tendency to make puns, many of which were quite clever. Joyce reported that he, too, enjoyed the art of punning. “You are a deep-sea diver,” Jung replied. “She is drowning.” I’m going to apply a comparable distinction to you, Libra. These days you may sometimes worry that you’re in over your head in the bottomless abyss. But I’m here to tell you that in all the important ways, you’re like a deep-sea diver. (The JoyceJung story comes from Edward Hoagland’s *Learning to Eat Soup.*) SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): No false advertising this week, Scorpio. Don’t pretend to be a purebred if you’re actually a mutt, and don’t act like you know it all when you really don’t. For that matter, you shouldn’t portray yourself as an unambitious amateur if you’re actually an aggressive pro, and you should avoid giving the impression that you want very little when in fact you’re a burning churning throb of longing. I realize it may be tempting to believe that a bit of creative deceit would serve a holy cause, but it won’t. As much as you possibly can, make outer appearances reflect inner truths. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In Christian lore, the serpent is the bad guy that’s the cause of all humanity’s problems. He coaxes Adam and Eve to disobey God, which gets them expelled from Paradise. But in Hindu and Buddhist mythology, there are snake gods that sometimes do good deeds and perform epic services. They’re called Nagas. In one Hindu myth, a Naga prince carries the world on his head. And in a Buddhist tale, the Naga king uses his seven heads to give the Buddha shelter from a storm just after the great one has achieved enlightenment. In regards to your immediate future, Sagittarius, I foresee you having a relationship to the serpent power that’s more like the Hindu and Buddhist version than the Christian. Expect vitality, fertility, and healing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In Lewis Carroll’s book Through the Looking Glass, the Red Queen tells Alice that she is an expert at believing in impossible things. She brags that there was one morning when she managed to embrace six improbable ideas before she even ate breakfast. I encourage you to experiment with this approach, Capricorn. Have fun entertaining all sorts of crazy notions and unruly fantasies. Please note that I am not urging you to actually put those beliefs into action. The point is to give your imagination a good work-out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’m not necessarily advising you to become best friends with the dark side of your psyche. I’m merely requesting that the two of you cultivate a more open connection. The fact of the matter is that if you can keep a dialogue going with this shadowy character, it’s far less likely to trip you up or kick your ass at inopportune moments. In time you might even come to think of its chaos as being more invigorating than disorienting. You may regard it as a worthy adversary and even an interesting teacher. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You need more magic in your life, Pisces. You’re suffering from a lack of sublimely irrational adventures and eccentrically miraculous epiphanies and inexplicably delightful interventions. At the same time, I think it’s important that the magic you attract into your life is not pure fluff. It needs some grit. It’s got to have a kick that keeps you honest. That’s why I suggest that you consider getting the process started by baking some unicorn poop cookies. They’re sparkly, enchanting, rainbow-colored sweets, but with an edge. Ingredients include sparkle gel, disco dust, star sprinkles -- and a distinctly roguish attitude. Recipe is here: tinyurl.com/UnicornPoopCookies. week Word of the Hawaiian Word By `Anuenue English Hawaiian: manuea • Translation: careless • Definition: he hana `apiki, me ke kea `ole, hana wale • Example: I kekahi Manawa manuea wau ke nana kiwi no ka mea, me ka `ike `ole, ha`ule au ma ka noho. • TRANSLATION: Sometimes, I am careless about watching TV because without looking, I fall off my chair.

Puzzle Answers on Page 8 Tide, Sun & moon Calendar Th F Sa brought to you by Su Friendly Market Center M T W Community News The Molokai Dispatch • Aug 29, 2012 • Make Bread to Save Dough By Lisa Dillon I look at the price of one loaf of bread on Molokai -- over $4 -- and cringe. I know if I cannot afford it, many others cannot. But for the same amount of money, you can make four loaves of your own bread. My great grandmother taught me to make bread and share the knowledge. I have passed on her tradition to my family and friends. I’d like to share this recipe for basic bread you can bake at home and save your family money, as well as create your own tradition with your family and friends. Nothing tastes better than homemade bread, and it’s easy and fun and doesn’t take too much time. Basic Bread Recipe Makes up to six loaves, depending your shape and pans. Materials Approx. 6 cups flour -- plain is fine, though bread flour is better and cheaper 4 cups water 3 packs yeast or measured equivalent 2 1/2 Tablespoons sugar 3 Tablespoons salt 2 Tablespoons oil Pie pan, cookie sheet or loaf pans Directions Heat water to hotter than bath water (110 to 115 degrees.) In a large bowl or pot, add water and sugar, and stir in yeast. Let stand and watch for yeast to “bloom” -- this takes a few minutes and is fun for kids to watch. Add salt, oil and just enough flour to make like pancake batter. Let rise in a 6 Community Contributed Over-the-Counter Medications and Keiki draft-free place until doubles in size, or about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Stir down and let rest for 10 minutes. Then stir in flour -- about 2 to 2 1/2 cups -- with the back of a large spoon, or enough flour to make a stiff dough. You should have about 1 1/2 cup flour left. Put enough flour to the table and knead the dough for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, adding in flour when sticky. Kneading is easy and good fun. Start with your dough on the floured table right in front of you. With the heal of your hand, push on the dough, fold it, then turn it. Keep folding and turning, adding flour lightly until the dough is smooth. With a sharp knife, cut the dough into pieces for your loaves, and let dough rest 10 minutes. Grease your pans well with oil, cooking spray, shortening butter or margarine. The dough will be soft so work lightly and shape your loaves by rolling and tucking under the ends. Place in pans and let rise till double approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375 degrees (should be hot when you put bread in) and bake approximately 35 to 45 minutes. You can tell it’s done when it is nicely brown ad sounds hollow when thumped. Wait 10 minutes for bread to cool before slicing. I hope you enjoy, and make breadmaking a tradition you share with your friends and family. These are times where every penny counts more than ever, and I encourage you to share recipes and household tips to save money. By Jon Mikami, RPh, and Kelly Go, RPh, Molokai Drugs, Inc. Giving drugstore medications to your keiki is no big deal, right? Well, it shouldn’t be, as long as you use them the right way. But just because a medication is sold over the counter doesn’t mean it comes with a risk-free guarantee. If your child has ever had a bad reaction to an over-the-counter (OTC) medication, stop giving the medication right away. Tell the doctor and pharmacy staff about it. Keep a record of its name, dosage directions, the illness it was used for, and the side effects it caused. To lower your child’s risk, remember to keep all medications out of reach of children. Also, make sure you’re using the right product for your child’s symptoms. We can advise you. Describe symptoms to your child’s doctor or our pharmacy staff. Also, tell us your child’s age, weight, medical conditions, and any medications your child is taking now or has in the past. Here are some general guidelines that may also help. Which ones? • Don’t give your child any medications that are intended for infants or adults. • Only use products that treat the symptoms your child has. • Don’t ever give OTC medicine to children to make them sleepy. • Give acetaminophen for pain relief. • Avoid ibuprofen if your child is younger than six months old. • Do not give decongestants, cough medicines, and cold medicines if your child is younger than age four. These medicines have caused serious side effects -- even death -- in this age group. • Don’t give aspirin to children under Let Them Know The Dispatch Sent You Support Molokai’s only newspaper by supporting our generous advertisers. When you patronize our local businesses, let them know “The Molokai Dispatch sent you.” Call now to advertise 808-450-6218 age 18. Children and teens are at risk for a reaction to aspirin that can cause permanent brain injury. How much? Getting the right dose is very important. Read labels and follow directions closely. Compare medications if you’re giving your child more than one and be careful not to double dose on ingredients. Did you know that an overdose of acetaminophen could lead to permanent liver damage? • Always use your child’s weight, not age, to determine dosage. We have an electronic scale at Molokai Drugs (back of the pharmacy) that anyone can use. • Use the measuring device that came with the product, instead of kitchen spoons. • If you’re using a measuring cup, put it on a flat surface, then pour. • Bring us your measuring devices and we can show you the difference between a mL and a teaspoon. • Remember: more is not better -- be precise with measurements. When? If you have a hard time keeping track of how much medication you’ve given your child, try keeping a simple log or write it on a calendar. In general, “every six hours” means that you give the medicine to your child four times a day. If you have questions on any OTC medicine, call us at 553-5790 or visit the pharmacy from 8:45 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. Monday through Friday, and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. If you cannot find a specific OTC, ask any of our staff if we have it in stock. As always, mahalo nui loa for your aloha and support of our business since 1935.

Open M-F 8 to 5, Sat 9 to 12 Help wanted Community News Community Contributed Veteran’s Corner Column by Jesse Church Aloha my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. Marines sometimes yell “gangway,” a command that means to clear the path in crowded quarters. It’s typically used to make room for stretchers or the commanding officer to pass, according to the Marine Corps Museum. Junior Marines use the term to alert each other to make way when an officer is approaching. In boot camp, recruits come to attention if anyone other than a private enters the squad bay, calling “gangway” as they back up to the bulkhead. Like many Marine Corps customs, the term has a nautical tie --it is used to clear the way for an officer ashore, just as it is afloat, according to the Marine Corps History Division. For career troops, being shuffled around the nation and the world is part of the job. New assignments come with such challenges as packing, moving and getting settled. While each new assignment comes with new colleagues and amenities, it is still tough on the family. It’s particularly difficult for spouses with careers in professional fields. Not only do they have find a new job, but oftentimes they cannot work until they get relicensed in their new state. However, thanks to the prodding of first lady Michelle Obama, 23 states have of- ficially made accommodations for military spouses who are teachers, day care workers, nurses, speech pathologists, physical therapists and more. Some states have made licenses transferrable while others provide temporary licenses to allow spouses to work while seeking permanent licenses. Seven more states have introduced legislation to address the problem. It’s time for the rest of the country and the District of Columbia to get onboard and expedite professional licensing for military spouses. I’d like to remind veterans that John Candello, the Veteran’s Services Counselor, will be at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs the first two Thursdays of every month from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., by appointment. For an appointment on his next visits on Sept.6 or 13, please call 553-3611. I would like to thank Molokai residents for their appreciation of our active duty troops around the globe, especially those in combat zones. We send them a big mahalo, and to our veterans for all they have done and to the people of Molokai for your appreciation of those who keep us free. If anyone has any questions, suggestions, or news please give old Jesse a call at 553-3323. I hope that all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai have a terrific week, and remember that old Jesse loves you all. Until next week, Aloha.

Driving down the bumpy, dusty road watching the ocean shimmer in the distance, my anticipation would grow as we neared the shoreline. Although I was just a kid, I remember feeling really lucky. It was a privilege to be there and I was grateful. Since then, Mo`omomi has seen many changes – the latest being the reintroduction of a gate which has made many upset. Gates can be controversial because they are meant to keep people out. But if you look deeper, past the gate, this is really an issue of conservation. By our Molokai values, if you have access to the land and shoreline, you also have kuleana, or the duty to do what is right. The relationship with the `aina and kai is that of responsibility – we are stewards caring for something that has cared Makahanaloa Mahalos The family of Newell K. Makahanaloa would like to thank everyone for their prayer, love, time, assistance and condolences. We are especially grateful for donations and resources from caring individuals, those who prepared and served the food and for those who provided the music. A special thanks go out to my Church of God family. Lastly, a warm mahalo to the EMS team, Chaplain Lynette Schaefer, Sgt. Manaois, Officer Caparida and the firefighters.

Some may point out that it is only an irresponsible few who have ruined things for many. Regardless, the outcome affects everyone and finding a solution will take the minds and hands of more than a few.
