Puffer fish Dying Across State

Puffer fish Dying Across State

Community Contributed

By Arleone Dibben-Young

 A mysterious disease is killing striped and porcupine puffer fish. Dr. Thierry Work with the U.S. Geological Survey has received at least 100 reports of dead puffer fish from across the state in the last six months. The sick and dying puffer fish have had lesions on the skin, but what’s been found on the inside has researchers alarmed.

"We're seeing things like enlarged livers and enlarged swim bladders, which is the organ that allows puffer fish to float," Work said. His staff has been able to analyze only 14 sick puffer fish so far and they're baffled as to what is killing them, but are leaning towards a virus or toxicosis.

"We really need to sort out what it is that's killing them. Once we sort out the cause, we can decide if it can affect other fish or not," said Work. "You'll see these fish either floating and can't submerge and they just don't look right, or if they're on the beach, their gills will be moving a little bit.”
"As long as there's a little bit of movement in those fish, they're super fresh and we can use them. If they've been on the beach a while, they're too decomposed and we can't do lab testing with them."

You can help by reporting all observations of dead or dying puffer fish, and if you spot a freshly dead puffer fish place it on ice. Call Arleone at 553-5992 to ship to the USGS National Wildlife Health Center.

Molokai Kumu Honored by Senate

Molokai Kumu Honored by Senate

By Lisa Noelani Robbins

I am a student of `olelo Hawaii with Kumu Manuwai Peters. With the help of Senator J. Kalani English and his wonderful staff, I recently presented Kumu Peters with a Hawaiian Senate Proclamation for Manuwai's contribution and perpetuation of the Hawaiian culture and language.

“Kumu Manuwai Peters has enriched the lives of thousands of Hawaiians and Hawaiians at heart by sharing his knowledge and expertise in the Hawaiian language and culture. Among his many accomplishments, Kumu Peters has helped to preserve and spread the Hawaiian language to his many students throughout his teaching career. His various classrooms across Hawaii include Kap`olani Community College on Oahu [and] founding Ka Papahana Kaiapuni Hawaii immersion school on Molokai.”

He offers classes in New York City and Washington D.C. while earning his master’s degree at Columbia University. In my class were OHA Bureau Chief Tim Johnson; Kathy Suter, media manager of the National Museum of the American Indian; Kuulei Stockman and Leihua Stewart from Halau o Aulani and Kamehameha graduates, and Hawaiians like me and non-Hawaiians as well. Not only did he teach us the Hawaiian language, but he brought people together.

I enrolled in his class, not only for my personal enrichment and to teach my own keiki, but because I am owner of 'Ohana Arts Studio, Polynesian Dance Studio, and Kinderhula. I now teach my students `olelo Hawaii and pass on what Kumu Manuwai has taught me.

Kumu Peters' website is www.portablehawaiian.com
