A message to the church: Whose voice are you listening to? Are you listening to the whole counsel of God, or merely confining yourself to what your particular denomination teaches as their “central doctrine?” We are praying for revival, and revival will come when we as God’s people truly humble ourselves in such a way that we are willing to come into agreement with all that our Lord says and willing to obey as well.

Last weekend, the Molokai High girls’ tennis team took home its first two Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) wins of the season with a solid 3-0 victory in both matches over Maui Prep. The boys’ team fell short, losing both matches 0-3 at Molokai High School on Saturday.
The Lady Farmers’ Aloha Will defeated her first opponent, Aja Toscana 6-1, 6-1 at No. 1 singles, and then took victory over Samantha Hartsell 6-3, 6-1 in her second match.
Senior Kalani Wainwright, a three-year veteran of the tennis team, also defeated both of her opponents at No. 2 singles, the first 6-1, 6-1, and then in her second match, 6-0, 6-0.
“I’m excited to get my first [two] singles wins,” Wainwright said. “I normally only play doubles but there wasn’t enough people this time around.”

While Kalaupapa patient Norbert Palea awaits a verdict for his Feb. 26 arrest for intent to distribute crystal methamphetamine, the settlement has been advised to treat him as it did prior to the allegations.
“He is innocent until proven guilty,” said Mark Miller, Kalaupapa Department of Health (DOH) administrator. In a community meeting on March 9, he informed the patient residents and state workers that Palea “shouldn’t be treated any differently.”
Palea, 68, was released Thursday, March 4 and arrived back at the peninsula the following day, Miller said. He was released on $25,000 bail.
Palea is Kalaupapa’s youngest patient, and was arrested at the Honolulu International Airport nearly three weeks ago while on a medical visit. He was allegedly attempting to ship 18 grams of methamphetamine in several Ziploc bags.
His court date was set for March 15.

It’s that time of season. The skies are beginning to clear up, the sun is becoming brighter and Molokai High School’s spring sports are about to ensue. This season will see the Farmers compete in five different sports, and coaches predict nothing but a bright forecast for their athletes.
Tennis
While many of the spring sports are still in their pre-season conditioning phase, tennis got a head start with its first tournament this past weekend in Maui.
In a two-day series, the Molokai High boys’ and girls’ tennis teams were defeated in both matches. On Friday the boys lost to St. Anthony High School 3-2, while the girls lost 5-0.
On Saturday, Lahainaluna High School took a clean sweep over the Farmers, landing a 4-1 victory over the boys, and 5-0 victory over the girls.
Coach Stacey Horner said both teams went up hard against St. Anthony and Lahainaluna and did the best they could.
“They did pretty good for their first time,” he said. “They’re dealing with nerves and played two tough teams. Both [of the other] teams have veteran players so it was difficult.”
Horner said they took only six girls and five boys, and therefore didn’t have a full match over the weekend. Although the team opened the season with a pair of losses, Horner still remains optimistic for the team’s season.
We are writing on behalf of the Kalaupapa patient community to let you know that we do not support the passing of Senate Bill no. 2771 and House Bill No. 2975. We are, now, just a handful of us but we feel we have to stand up and be heard.
There was a good turnout at the gun exhibit entitled "Guns of the Royal Hong Kong Police.” A total of eleven handguns, rifles and shotguns were displayed as well as artifacts from the RHKP shooting club and the flag of the former British Crown Colony. It was nice to see entire families attend this hands-on exhibit and there were many relevant questions about the Hong Kong Police and the firearms used by them.
