On Friday, March 18 I found a Canon digital camera on the pavement of Kamoi St. between the post office and the Midnight Inn parking lot. Please call Arleone at 553-5992 to describe the camera for its return. Mahalo.

Ka Honua Momona News Release
Na Leo Kupuna is a project of Ka Honua Momona that will gather the stories of Molokai’s kupuna. The goal is to interview about 20 kupuna and record their mana`o about place, people, lifestyle, values, history, and traditions in order to preserve this `ike (knowledge) for current and future generations. It will also gather specific stories regarding cultural identity and overall well-being, such as what wisdom, activities, practices, and thoughts or philosophies kept them grounded.
Molokai High School softball hit big over the weekend, protecting their undefeated season by defeating Seabury Hall 19-1 last Friday and 13-7 last Saturday on Maui.
Tootie Rawlins and Amanda Makaiwi rounded the bases, scoring off of two homeruns in the first couple innings and putting the Lady Farmers ahead early. After five innings of play the mercy-rule went into effect, ending the game.
“They can really hit the ball which keeps the momentum going; we just need to continue working on communication and calling out our plays,” said head coach Coco Augustiro.
Keeping the Spartans off the bases, pitcher Jasmine Borden gave up a single run, striking out ten batters throughout the game.

I have been on your very friendly island for two weeks now. I have read a number of articles about the wind farm. The friendly people and the beauty of the island cannot be over stated. I come from a place where wind farms are just starting to be built. The economy and the number of high paying jobs is quite substantial, but even these cannot outweigh the social and cultural needs. I do not have an option on whether the farm should be built or not, I am an outsider.
The question I have is, have all locations and or islands been looked at? What about the island of Kaho`olawe. I was told it was bombed during the war, and that no one can live on it any more. I am sure this island has been looked at as a possible option.

Kaunakakai School will be initiating a school uniform policy starting in the 2011-2012 school year. All students will be required to wear the approved school uniform t-shirts on instructional days from Monday through Thursday, with Fridays being an optional dress day (our dress code regulations apply). Some important changes to our dress code regulations include: shorts must have a minimum 4-inch inseam (even if worn over tights), and the bottom edge of skirts/skorts must not be higher than 4 inches above the middle of the knee.

Imagine a country with abundant resources and no need for money. A country that provides free food, free shelter, free education and free entertainment to its citizens and residents. In this country, people never need to file taxes, spend another long day at the office or drive back and forth. All anyone must do is steward their `aina and malama themselves and their `ohana. They do this because they live in culture based on gratitude, love, respect and caring.
Long before the Kingdom of Hawaii was illegally overthrown in 1893, the good life was a reality for Native Hawaiian people. They lived a sustainable life rich in culture, natural resources and aloha. Fast forward to the present – Hawaiian culture on the brink of eradication.
The fifth grade class of Kaunakakai Elementary would like to send their great appreciation and thanks to those who supported them in their second fundraiser of the year. Our kids are our everything, and it shows how much we really care when we pull through together. To many who donated, we deeply appreciate it. Without these donations their bento sale would not have been a success. To the parents who donated, the Queen Lili`uokalani Center, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Uncle Bootie Poepoe and ohana, Uncle Keli`i Kaholoaa, Aunty Holly, Aunty Tiara, Tasha Mahiai, Kaunakakai School staff and administration, and Uncle P.J. at Friendly Market Center for putting our order together. To all of you, mahalo!
