In a world full of fast-food, import-ed groceries and processed snacks, a Molokai organization is combat-
ing the food norm to promote eating local.
The concept of eating and buy-ing local can be daunting but that hasn’t stopped The MOM Hui—and its grass-roots network of like-minded advocates, farmers, vendors and ohana—from pro-moting sustainability, a healthy environ-ment and a conscious lifestyle.
Hundreds of attendees gathered un-der a star-lit sky last Saturday to promote this vision at Duke Maliu Park for the sec-ond annual Grassroots Benefit Concert organized by The MOM Hui.
“I want the community to be con-scious of the impact we can have on our environment through the choices we make, the food we eat, the way we de-cide to grow our food and how we take care of this environment,” said MOM Hui founder Mercy Ritte. “It’s all relative and related.”
Keiki participated in educational ac-tivities by sampling wheat grass, learning the importance of bee pollination, garden-ing and more. Molokai youth and state-wide entertainers like I-land Flavah and Napua Greig performed numbers rang-ing from popular reggae tunes to songs that perpetuated the evening’s message.

Judged on their stance, temperament, muscle mass and ability to follow direction, pigs and steer competed
with their owners for top ribbon last weekend. The animals were gathered under white tents at the Kaunakakai Ball Park as eager fans filled the stands ready to cheer on keiki as they showed off their prized animals.
For months, youth in the Molokai 4-H Livestock Club, have been raising, groom-ing, keeping records and showing their ani-mals in preparation for the annual Molokai 4-H Livestock Expo last weekend.

Lei in RemembranceBy Laura Pilz | Staff Writer
With colorful lei draped carefully over each arm, volunteers set
out across the gently sloping Papaloa cemetery in Kalaupapa last week with the goal of hon-oring and remembering each and every kupuna buried on the peninsula.
Pausing briefly at each mark-er to lay a hand or say a quiet prayer, the group quietly made their way through the acres of headstones, lovingly leaving a lei at each one.
The Makanalua peninsula, commonly known as Kalaupapa, serves as the final resting place for thousands of Hansen’s disease patients who were once banished there.
After more than a century of being exiled to the peninsula, pa-tients were given the freedom to leave Kalaupapa on June 30, 1969, when Hawaii Revised Statute 32 lifted the ban on their isolation.
To celebrate the 45th anniver-sary of the lifting of this ban and honor all who lived and died there, 1400 lei were distributed to the four major cemeteries and every known burial site across the pen-insula last Monday by a nonprofit organization called Hui Malama Makanalua.

Pescaia added that “we work today to forgive and work to restore all of the aloha back into these grounds that has been taken away.”
The project, called “Lei Hali`a O Kalaupapa” or “lei in remem-brance of Kalaupapa” was created by Kerri Inglis, associate profes-sor of history at the University of Hawaii, Hilo along with her cur-rent and past students, friends and family, many of whom have ances-tral ties to the peninsula.
“The core group began with service trips we’ve been doing to Kalaupapa over the
past seven or eight years,” said Inglis. “The last few years as part of the trip we take the time to make lei one evening and ask the students to choose some sites to place the lei.”

Hooper. “You keep it here, you keep it Molokai, you buy from here and build our community to make Molokai stronger.”
From venison burgers and lilikoi juice to homemade, brick-oven pizza, the food provided by local vendors featured locally-grown, non-GMO or organic ingredients. The MOM Hui provided vendors and the public with compostable paper plates, cups and utensils. Trash bins were distributed across the lawn for degradable plates and utensils or food waste, which will be taken to a local farm to feed pigs.
“If we can all collectively learn some-thing and make small changes in our own lifestyle and with our children then maybe slowly it will spread and we can become a truly healthy Molokai island,” Ritte said “… It’s possible to feed our families healthy food with what we have on island.”
Giving BackBesides being a night of ono grinds,
sustainability and aloha, the benefit concert aimed to support local youth who plan to pursue a higher education in degrees fo-cused on health, environmental studies or organic farming. The MOM Hui’s Ho`ola Hou Scholarship Fund, a community sup-ported financial assistance program for Molokai High School (MHS) seniors, was funded by 100 percent of ticket proceeds.
Taylor Tamanaha, 2014 MHS graduate and scholarship recipient will attend Grand Canyon University to pursue a degree in pediatric nursing. She said the scholarship made college more affordable and took the stress off of meeting high tuition prices.
“It made me feel good to win the
scholarship because I feel like I really earned it,” Tamanaha said. “I’m happy be-cause I worked really hard for it and it’s a validation. The support feels like home.”
For Xrystina Bicoy, an MHS alum-nus in the same class, the scholarship award “feels like your aina is your support group…it gives you a lot of pride for where you come from” she said.
Bicoy is headed off to the University of Wyoming this fall to pursue a degree in nursing.
“We’re all really thankful for this whole organization and we owe so much to them for supporting us and giving us this opportunity,” Bicoy said. “It’s a huge honor.”
Aloha Aina MessageThe community-based event isn’t an
anti-GMO campaign, but a movement to promote sustainability and Molokai-grown or sustainable products, Hooper said.
“This is not a local issue, this is a glob-al issue,” organizer and MC Hanohano Naehu said. “Buying local is important be-cause it all goes back to the message of the event, ‘aloha aina,’ that which feeds us. We [want to] be sustainable. We want to grow our own food, eat our own food, and then we know what is in it and where it comes from.”
Ritte said she hopes the concert will raise awareness, inspire others to live a healthy lifestyle and support a sustainable Molokai.
“I know we can’t be completely GMO-free or organic so for me it’s being aware of how our food is being produced and it’s all about educating one another,” Ritte said. “There are farmers that pay attention to the environment and really care about what they grow for the community.”
abilities.”Polinahe Bishaw Mokiao, Molokai
Middle School 8th grader, who won the reserve championship in the swine show-manship division, said her triumph in the ring is due to the amount of time she spent training and working with her pig.
“I think I won because I spent a lot of time with it and I had a good rhythm with my pig in the ring and had a good chance of impressing the judge,” Bishaw Mokiao said. “I wasn’t really expecting to win, this being my first year, so this was a good sur-prise.”
She said 4-H has taught her more than how to train and care for a pig. She’s learned to be more responsible, reach for her goals and can now see herself pursuing a college degree.
“Maybe once I graduate I can start my own 4-H club and bring in more animals to raise them with other children and help them pursue what they want to do in their lives,” she said.
Winning and responsibility run deep in the family genes.
Bishaw Mokiao’s brother Nainoa, MHS 10th grader, won the grand champi-
onship for swine showmanship. Last year, Nainoa Bishaw Mokiao was crowned the reserve champion for showmanship of his pig, but this year he said he wanted to ex-ceed his own expectations and see how far he could go.
“To me it felt good [to win] it’s some-thing that I worked hard for and I just wanted to earn something,” Nainoa said. “I won because I put in a lot of time to it, made my [pig] tame and easy to control and had the dedication and pride in what I did.”
Along with market and showmanship competitions, non-competing participants engaged in the learning activities, raffles and auction prizes and listened to live en-tertainment by reggae sensation Kolohe Kai. Both days featured games, food booths and various crafts for the young and the old. The events closed with an auction of the selected steer, pigs and goats.
And while Friday and Saturday’s events highlighted hard work, the experi-ences gained during the process are most important, Ponce said.
“4-H is like a vehicle that teaches you opportunities that can take you different places,” Ponce said. “It’s not about the rib-bons, pictures and being in the articles, it’s about the things you learn while through it.”
Praise Concert and Celebration of HopePraise Concert Committee News Release
For the last four years, the Praise Con-cert series has been a fun and uplifting gathering for Molokai. In this fifth year, the tone will not change but be elevated. With free admission, free food, games for keiki and cool giveaways, this year’s two-day event July 19 and 20 will bring a lineup of stellar entertainers and worship leaders.
Last year, the Praise Concert partnered with Convoy of Hope to bless the commu-nity as much as possible. Many people re-ceived and were grateful. This year's desire is greater.
The Praise Concert will be held on Sat-urday, July 19 at Kaunakakai Ball Field from 6 to 10 p.m. Not too long ago, the people who would become Kapena competed in the "Brown Bags to Stardom" competition representing Kaimuki High School, and the rest, as they say, is history. But away from the bright lights, the Good Lord had a plan that went beyond the music and public persona to ring about a transformation that would bless all who heard Kapena.
Music is a language every soul under-stands. The Irish root meaning of the name Kelly is “warrior.” Kelly Delima will usher us into the presence of God and maybe bring a dose of laughter with it.
Daniel Lehmann has been leading worship since the age of 19 through Youth
With a Mission. His desire is to create an atmosphere for people to encounter and respond to God. He has traveled the world extensively and witnessed the power of
God through music. He and his fam-ily live in Kona and they have a heart for Molokai.
Ben Vega produced Maila Gibson's 2003 album "More.” Singers, songwrit-ers, and producers, they have successfully collaborated and received five Na Hoku Hanohano award nominations. Maila has performed with artists such as Natalie Cole, Ruben Studdard, Michael McDon-ald, Kenny Loggins and Marie Osmond, and locally with Na Hoku award winners and Grammy nominees Keali`i Reichel and Ho`okena.
The Celebration of Hope will take place on Sunday, July 20 at 9 a.m. at the Kaunakakai Ball Field. Passion is defined as a strong or extravagant fondness, enthu-siasm, or desire for anything such as music, etc. Since Pastor Jonah Ka`auwai's invita-tion to come to Molokai, the burden in his heart has multiplied for the people here. On Sunday morning, you will want to hear what God wants to tell people and, most certainly, we need a good word now. Don't miss this special service to hear through a passionate heart how God wants to bless Molokai. E Komo Mai Akua!
The ice challenge took Molokai by frozen storm in the last two weeks, joining a national move-
ment to raise money for cancer. Across the U.S., participants of the ice chal-lenge are calling out friends to dump buckets of freezing water on themselves and donate to charity. In Hawaii, the ice challenge is primarily raising money for cancer, and many on Molokai are using the opportunity to contribute to the Molokai Cancer Fund through the upcoming Relay for Life.
If you’re a Facebook user, you’ve probably had your newsfeed flooded with videos of your friends gasp-ing, shrieking and shivering under a stream of ice water. Wondering what it’s all about? Local informal rules call for at least two buckets of ice water to be poured over your head by will-ing (or eager) friends. As part of the challenge, you “call out” friends to do the same, and they must follow icy suit within 24 hours. In addition to enduring cold water gushing over your head, you also must donate $20 to a cancer awareness organization of your choice. If you chose not to com-plete the challenge, you’re asked to give $100 instead.
The challenge was so popular on Molokai, in fact, that by July 4th weekend, many stores had run out of ice altogether.
In addition to raising money, the ice challenge is reportedly intended to simulate the chills and aches experi-enced by many cancer patients during chemotherapy treatments.
While some have criticized the challenge for belittling what can-cer patients actually go through, many challenge participants say they gained a greater appreciation for what friends and loved ones have suffered on a much greater scale.
“[After doing the ice challenge, I feel] like I never want to go through chemo,” said challenge participant Courtney Turner. “That was horrible.”
A few Molokai residents chose not to endure the fringed blast but still participated by posting Facebook vid-
eos sharing a talent or tribute to loved ones who suffered cancer and called on friends to donate to the cause.
Other fundraising efforts on Molokai have included a campaign called “Tired of Cancer” in which purple-painted tires are being passed around the community. The tires -- an initiative by this year’s Relay for Life Team Arlan, led by Molokai cancer survivor Arlan Angco – are making their rounds in people’s yards for 24 hours each. Recipients donate money to the team to host the tire, then pass it on to a friend or family member.
On his Relay for Life team page on the American Cancer Society web-site, Angco shares his story of fighting stage four cancer.
“I have come full circle as a sup-porter of others, to a patient and a survivor and now back again to a sup-porter of others,” he wrote. “I have benefited personally from the fund-raising efforts of Relay for Life with travel expenses and lodging being paid for while going through treat-ment and recovery… This is my op-portunity to honor cancer survivors, remember people we have lost, and help raise funds for the American Cancer Society.”
The Molokai Relay for Life will be held on Aug. 8 at Kaunakakai Ball Field starting at 6 p.m.

Erika Stein Espaniola, superintendent of Kalaupapa National Historical Park, spoke with emotion during the morning’s ceremony as she shared her experiences of living in the community.
“It is important that we remember the stories and the experiences and what those experiences have taught us,” she said. “I know for myself, [the kupuna] have taught me about humility and humanity. Of love and devotion, of faith, of life and death.”
Boogie Kahilihiwa and Meli Watanuki represented fellow patient residents not in attendance and were asked to place the first lei of the day.
“Who would believe that when we first came, things like this would happen,” Kahilihiwa said, referring to people willing-ly wanting to visit Kalaupapa. “Thank you so much for doing this, this sharing of aloha, but also of yourselves.”
Together they carefully selected lei from the billowing pile in front of them and set off into the cemetery.
The 1400 lei were created for the event, with many coming from other islands and as far away as California. According to Ing-lis, 80 lei came from California and over 400 lei came from topside Molokai.
“A couple weeks ago I wasn’t sure if we would have a couple hundred [lei],”confessed Inglis, who added that be-cause of concerns over invasive species coming from other islands to Molokai, it was determined that it would be best if all
the lei coming from the other islands be ti leaf lei.
“We are incredibly humbled and grate-ful for the support from so many people to make this happen,” Inglis said. “Every person that picked flowers or leaves for us, every person who helped make lei are here with us today. And the many kupuna from the couple hundred year history are here as well.”
Hui Malama Makanalua plans to make Lei Hali`a O Kalaupapa an annual event and is already planning next year’s ceremony. For more information or to re-ceive updates on next year’s event please visit huimalamamakanalua.org.

Krazy for Kolea KontestNene O Molokai News Release
The kolea, Pacific Golden Plover (Pluvialis fulva), is revered in Hawaiian mythology as Koleamoku, a messenger of high chiefs, and was considered to be the embodiment of the god of healing. On their northern migration, Kolea may have aided ancient navigators with the discov-ery of the Hawaiian Islands. Within a few weeks, the kolea will make a transoceanic southbound migration between breeding grounds in Alaska to wintering locales as far away as Madagascar. Recent research using light level dataloggers have tracked kolea at speeds from 36 to118 miles per hour, and with an average flight between Hawaii and Alaska taking 40 hours.
Earliest returnees to Hawaii are typi-cally females that may have experienced a failed nesting attempt or perhaps did not bond with a mate for the breeding season. Adult males normally appear by the end of August, followed by juveniles in Octo-ber. The kolea is easily recognized by its bold black and white breeding plumage called “alternate,” however, this is lost by winter time.
Kolea are long-lived (20-plus years), territorial and annually return to the same location. This returning behavior was first recognized by Max Schlemmer on Laysan Island, whose “Old Stump Leg,” a one-legged kolea, returned annually ca. 1900. Many Molokai residents have named their distinguished winter residents and note arrival and departure dates on calendars.
Report the return of a kolea and win a prize. Include date, time, and location. The
observer of the first confirmed sighting will win a Kolea Research T-shirt from the Hawaii Audubon Society. The nine runner-up observers will receive a gift certificate for a scoop of ice cream at Kamoi Snack ‘N Go. Any individual reporting a banded kolea will receive $20, and the observer of the one-legged kolea marked with a green band over a silver band will receive $100. Bands are read from the bird’s perspec-tive as if reading a book – bird’s left leg top band bottom band, bird’s right leg top band bottom band. Some birds will have bands on one leg only while others will have bands on both legs. All banded birds will be confirmed.
To report your kolea call Arleone 553-5992 or email [email protected]. Winners will be announced in September.

We’d like to congratulate the winner of our #hap-pysummermolokai photo contest, In-stagram user meeska, for her photo showing a summer adventure in prog-ress from the back of a Jeep. Meeska won a gift certificate to Kualapu`u Cookhouse. Thanks to all of our fan-tastic photographers who entered the contest, and please stay tuned for the next one!

New Crop Assc. President HCIA News Release
Recent Molokai resident Kirby Kester is the new president of the Hawaii Crop Improvement Association (HCIA), as well as Dow AgroSciences’ Hawaii R&D Leader.
With nearly 20 years’ experience in the seed industry on Kauai, Kester now resides on Molokai and serves as site Leader for Dow AgroSciences’ R&D Station on Molo-kai, as well as provides oversight for Kau-ai’s Seeds and Traits R&D program.
Kirby holds a M.S. of Agriculture de-gree from Iowa State University and a B.S. in Agronomy from the University of Ne-braska, Lincoln. He has been a member of HCIA since 1995, and will serve a two-year term as president.
“We know our industry is under siege,” Kester said. “We are already work-ing hard to tell the story of Hawaii’s seed industry and we intend to do this even more over the coming months. We’re going to spend more time showing people why they have nothing to fear from modern ag-
riculture and the tools created with biotech-nology.”
Kester was installed as HCIA presi-dent at the association’s recent annual meeting.
Bennette Misalucha was also intro-duced as HCIA’s new executive director. Misalucha has an extensive 17-year back-ground in banking and finance and sits on a number of local non-profit boards. She previously served as regional director for government and community affairs at Ac-tus Lend Lease, and spent time as a local television news reporter and producer with KHON Channel 2 News.
“We’re thrilled to have found someone with Bennette’s vast experience to take over the executive director position at HCIA,” Kester said. “Bennette brings the type of business-savvy expertise we were looking for, as well as a history of success engaging and educating stakeholders on the issues. I look forward to working with her as HCIA moves forward.”
Long Range Development Plan for College CampusUHMCM News Release
After years of effort, UH Maui Col-lege, Molokai (UHMCM) has completed its Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) 2013, which was approved and received in June 2014. The purpose of the LRDP is to guide the development of the Molokai Education Center to the year 2027, begin-ning with the transition from the exist-ing two-acre campus and expanding to a five-acre campus utilizing the land to the west along the main road to Duke Maliu Regional Park.
The LRDP includes engaging visual aids on accordion style fold-outs to pro-vide the reader with a clear idea of how the future campus might look. It covers everything from the college program re-quirements, site assessment, alternate po-sitioning of facilities, the ultimate site plan, design considerations, and a phasing plan
with cost estimates. Lastly, because the current Molokai Community Plan 2001 recommends that 15 acres be set aside for future college development, the LRDP also includes a conceptual site plan for a campus of that size which could be phased in eventually over a longer time frame.
A copy of the UH Maui College, Molokai LRDP is available for community members to review at the reference desk of the Molokai Public Library in Kaunaka-kai. Please see a library staff member for assistance. The faculty, staff and stu-dents thank our Molokai Program Advi-sory Committee for their hard work and diligent efforts over the last 30 years and the Molokai community for their past and continuing support. UH Maui College, Molokai -- A world of knowledge… here at home.

Th F Sa Su M T W
entertaInment
ARIES (March 21-April 19): What are the sources that heal and nourish you? Where do you go to renew yourself? Who are the people and animals that treat you the best and are most likely to boost your energy? I suggest that in the coming week you give special attention to these founts of love and beauty. Treat them with the respect and reverence they de-serve. Express your gratitude and bestow blessings on them. It's the perfect time for you to summon an outpouring of generosity as you feed what feeds you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Why do birds fly? First, that's how they look for and procure food. Second, when seasons change and the weather grows cooler, they may migrate to warmer areas where there's more to eat. Third, zipping around in mid-air is how birds locate the materials they need to build nests. Fourth, it's quite helpful in avoiding predators. But ornithologists believe there is yet another reason: Birds fly because it's fun. In fact, up to 30 percent of the time, that's their main motivation. In accordance with the astrological omens, Taurus, I invite you to match the birds' standard in the coming weeks. See if you can play and enjoy yourself and have a good time at least 30 percent of the time.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Is there an important resource you don't have in sufficient abundance? Are you suffering from the lack of an essential fuel or tool? I'm not talking about a luxury it would be pleasant to have or a status symbol that would titillate your ego. Rather, I'm referring to an indispens-able asset you need to create the next chapter of your life story. Identify what this crucial treasure is, Gemini. Make or obtain an image of it, and put that image on a shrine in your sanctuary. Pray for it. Vividly visualize it for a few minutes sev-eral times a day. Sing little songs about it. The time has arrived for to become much more serious and frisky about getting that valuable thing in your possession.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Since 1981, Chinese law has stipulated that every healthy person between the ages of 11 and 60 should plant three to five trees per year. This would be a favorable week for Chinese Cancerians to carry out that duty. For that matter, now is an excellent time for all of you Cancerians, regardless of where you live, to plant trees, sow seeds, launch projects, or do anything that animates your fer-tility and creativity. You now have more power than you can imagine to initiate long-term growth.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The weeks preceding your birthday are often an excellent time to engage the services of an exor-cist. But there's no need to hire a pricey priest with dubious credentials. I can offer you my expert demon-banishing skills free of charge. Let's begin. I call on the spirits of the smart heroes you love best to be here with us right now. With the help of their inspirational power, I hereby dissolve any curse or spell that was ever placed on you, even if it was done inad-vertently, and even if it was cast by yourself. Furthermore, the holy laughter I unleash as I carry out this purification serves to expunge any useless feelings, delusional desires, bad ideas, or irrelevant dreams you may have grown attached to. Make it so! Amen and hallelujah!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know what it's like to get your mind blown. And I'm sure that on more than one occa-sion you have had your heart stolen. But I am curious, Virgo, about whether you have ever had your mind stolen or your heart blown. And I also wonder if two rare events like that have ever happened around the same time. I'm predicting a comparable milestone sometime in the next three weeks. Have no fear! The changes these epiphanies set in motion will ultimately bring you blessings. Odd and unexpected
blessings, probably, but blessings nonetheless. P.S.: I'm sure you are familiar with the tingling sensation that wells up in your elbow when you hit your funny bone. Well, imagine a phenomena like that rippling through your soul.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Since 2008, Marvel Studios has produced nine movies based on characters from Marvel Comics. They're doing well. The Avengers earned $1.5 billion, making it the third-highest-grossing film of all time. Iron Man 3 brought in over a billion dollars, too, and Thor: The Dark World grossed $644 million. Now Marvel executives are on schedule to release two movies every year through 2028. I'd love to see you be inspired by their example, Libra. Sound fun? To get started, dream and scheme about what you want to be doing in both the near future and the far future. Then formulate a flexible, invigorating master plan for the next 14 years.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): While in Chicago to do a series of shows, comedian Groucho Marx was invited to participate in a séance. He decided to attend even though he was skepti-cal of the proceedings. Incense was burning. The lights were dim. The trance medium worked herself into a supernatural state until finally she announced, "I am in touch with the Oth-er Side. Does anyone have a question?" Groucho wasn't shy. "What is the capital of North Dakota?" he asked. As amusing as his irreverence might be, I want to use it as an example of how you should NOT proceed in the coming week. If you get a chance to converse with higher powers or mysterious forces, I hope you seek information you would truly like to know.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In one of her poems, Adrienne Rich addresses her lover: "That conversation we were always on the edge / of having, runs on in my head." Is there a similar phenomenon in your own life, Sagittarius? Have you been longing to thoroughly discuss certain impor-tant issues with a loved one or ally, but haven't found a way to do so? If so, a breakthrough is potentially imminent. All of life will be conspiring for you to speak and hear the words that have not yet been spoken and heard but very much need to be.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This would be a fun time for you to brainstorm about everything you have never been and will never be. I encourage you to fantasize freely about the goals you don't want to accomplish and the qualities you will not cultivate and the kind of people you will never seek out as allies. I believe this exercise will have a healthy effect on your future development. It will discipline your willpower and hone your motivation as it eliminates extraneous desires. It will imprint your deep self with a passionate clarification of pursuits that are wastes of your precious energy and valuable time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Expect nothing even as you ask for everything. Rebel against tradition with witty com-passion, not cynical rage. Is there a personal taboo that no longer needs to remain taboo? Break it with tender glee. Do something playful, even prankish, in a building that has felt oppressive to you. Everywhere you go, carry gifts with you just in case you encounter beautiful souls who aren't lost in their own fantasies. You know that old niche you got stuck in as a way to preserve the peace? Escape it. At least for now, live without experts and without leaders -- with no teachers other than what life brings you moment by moment.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Every year, the U.S. govern-ment spends $25,455 per capita on programs for senior citizens. Meanwhile, it allocates $3,822 for programs to help children. That's only 15 percent as much as what the elders receive. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I believe your priorities should be reversed. Give the majority of your energy and time and money to the young and innocent parts of your life. Devote less attention to the older and more mature aspects. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you need to care intently for what's growing most vigorously.

Selling Axis Deer By-Products Courses UH Maui College News Release
Now that USDA-inspected Axis Deer meat is for sale on Maui, the ru-mor of a budding venison industry is becoming a reality. So what happens to all the other parts of the deer? In New Zealand, Red Deer by-products have proven to be more commercially valuable than the sale of the deer meat itself.
With this in mind, UH-Maui Col-lege’s Office of Continuing Education and Training (OCET) under its U.S. Department of Labor grant to promote job creation in sustainable agriculture, in conjunction with the Sustainable Living Institute of Maui (SLIM) and EdVenture, is offering a three-part course to help interested students explore the feasibility of developing an Axis Deer by-products operation. Deer by-products markets for hides, antlers, bone and blood meal and oth-er types of compost, waste meat for dog food, and deer parts that are aph-rodisiacs will all be discussed.
The course will be available via the Polycom system to the islands of Molokai and Lanai.
The hard part of deciding if sell-ing animal by-products is feasible on Maui requires looking at the challeng-es of rules and regulations about ani-mal waste processing facilities, find-ing a consistent supply, and working with existing slaughterhouses, cov-ered in Part One. Part Two focuses on understanding your competition, de-veloping an export market, and Part Three will examine what type of or-ganizational structure, scale and size of operation would work best when
wanting to be a financial success. The college has assembled a team
of instructors and guest instructors including: Faith Ewbank, a 24-year veteran marketing specialist having been the Marketing Director for the Maui Arts and Cultural Center who frew up on a cattle ranch in Kipahulu with years of teaching experience on agricultural topics. Phyllis Robinson, Ed.D. has been an organizational de-velopment specialist for 30 years, was the founder of the Maui Axis Deer Harvesting Cooperative and is a member of the Maui Axis Deer Work-ing Group. Dr. Robinson will co-teach Parts One and Two with Ms. Ewbank and Desmund Manaba of Molokai Wildlife Management, currently the only deer rancher providing USDA inspected venison in the state. Dr. Robinson will teach Part Three with technical assistance instruction from Melanie Bondera of the Kohala Cen-ter/Laulima Center for Cooperative Business Development.
All three classes will be on Thurs-day evenings from 5:30-8:30 begin-ning with Part one on four Thursdays July 17 through Aug. 7. Part Two will begin Aug. 11through Sept. 4 for four Thursdays, and Part Three will begin Sept. 11 and run for three Thursdays through Sept. 25.
Register by calling Edventure at 984-3231, or online through edven-turemaui.com. A discount is available for taking all three parts. Tuition as-sistance may be available for eligible applicants. For tuition assistance, please Email [email protected] im-mediately if you are interested in Part One.
The Molokai DispaTch • July 9, 2014 • 9 letters & announCements
Glen Allen Beard Jr.Twenty-six years
ago, Glen Allen Beard Jr., fondly known as Al-len, Uncleal, UncleAn-nie, and Big Al, moved to Molokai from Texas to begin a new chapter in his life.
In 1990, he was offered a job at Molo-kai Wines and Spirits. From that day on, the store became his passion. He loved his job and looked forward to it every day. He be-came everyone's personal sommelier, and knew each individual’s taste in wine. The friendly, tall Texan greeted customers with "Hi darlin'" or "Hi guys.” He was one of a kind, a gentle man who did not suffer fools but was always warm and taking of what
life had to give.Allen loved music and books, and had
a witty, sarcastic and funny sense of humor. One of his many sayings was, "How can I miss you when you won't go away?"
He will be missed by many.Born on May 21, 1942, he passed
away on June 17, 2014 surrounded by his son Jason, his sister Brenda and his “dar-lin” Diane.
A celebration of life will be held at a future date.
Eternal gratitude to the Yuen family. Special thanks to the EMTs, the respond-ing firemen and Molokai General Hospi-tal, Queens Medical Center, Oahu, the ICU nurses and staff and especially to Dr. Ravin-der Shergill.
Moana's Hula Halau has been award-ed $6,500 from the Office of Hawaiian Af-fairs `Ahahui Grants Program. This grant award is designated for the islands annual Festivals of Aloha Program that will be held from Oct. 9 to Oct. 11, 2014.
This is the fifth year that OHA has awarded Moana's Hula Halau an `Ahahui Grant to subsidize our islands Festivals of Aloha Program.
Thank you, Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
Remembering Buzzy SproatI sadly write to lament the passing of
Buzzy Sproat and to pass my condolences to his family and friends.
Buzzy was one of Molokai's true gems and he will be both remembered and missed for a long time to come. The large number of people who came out to attend the beautiful ceremony in his honor last weekend will attest to that. I found the ceremony both moving and inspirational. I was touched to both hear the stories and testimonies of so many and to see the lega-cy that will live on by way of the family he has created. The love and appreciation for his wonderful man was almost palpable. I was deeply moved.
In my own life, Buzzy has more than once graced me with his warmth, generos-ity and aloha. He has been a model for me
for so many things ideals of what it means to be a good husband, father, and man. HIs smile and laugh has been contagious, and his clean and simple wisdom has cut through a lot of what is wrong and con-fusing in the world. I feel graced to have known him and knowing him makes me want to strive to be a better man.
Buzzy -- I wish you well as you con-tinue your journey. Thanks for the things we have shared. You will be missed and remembered.
Aloha nui loa,Levie Yamzaki-Gray

Over-spray Reporting AppMaui Tomorrow Foundation News Release
Maui Tomorrow Foundation's Clea-nAirMaui phone app now allows commu-nity members on Molokai, Lanai and Maui islands to report pesticide over-spray. For those without a smart phone, reports can be made through the website, CleanAir-ForKeiki.org.
Maui Tomorrow’s Executive Director, Irene Bowie states, "With the surge of in-terest in the damaging effects of pesticides and concurrent increased use of them on both sugarcane and GMO crops, we
wanted to give the public a tool to report incidents of overspray." Bowie says that there are only five pesticide inspectors in the state and that the public must become the eyes and ears of the understaffed regu-latory agencies.
She adds, "Not only is this a quick and easy way to report pesticide over-spray but reports are maintained in a da-tabase to provide evidence if there were to be regulatory actions taken."
For further information go to clea-nairforkeiki.org , a project of Maui Tomor-row, or phone (808) 244-7570.
