1 CommentsTo My Fellow Maui County Residents
After a four-and-a-half year process in trying to get permits to build a center for the Molokai veterans, visiting veterans, and the community, and trying to resolve disputes with County officials, the Molokai Veterans have filed a lawsuit.
The Veterans did not want politics to be involved, all we wanted was a building permit. The Veterans believe we have been wronged in the process…used, abused, excused, confused, and refused. Too many of our veterans and myself have been affected by this process, and many have died before they could see the dream of the new center built.
Public Education Commitment
I would like to thank all of you who supported me in my candidacy for the Board of Education – Maui District Two. I have always been proud of the public school education I received here in Hawaii. I have since put it to good use. It is my desire to give back to my home – this special place that has given so much to me.
Missing Music
Missing: small black canvas suitcase with music books. It was taken from a black pickup truck in the Hotel Molokai parking lot around 8:30-9 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 12. My 30+ years of songs are irreplaceable, and priceless. In the bag was also one microphone, microphone cable and a music light stand. Please return, no questions asked, to Hotel Molokai or the Molokai Police station.

Mini Mart Theft Apology
My apologies to the public, owners of Mini Mart, and the guy on the Mini Mart surveillance camera from the theft a few weeks ago – I am Lisette’s mother, and Lisette was on the surveillance camera. First of all, Ryan, the guy on the surveillance, along with the two girls – brother, I am sorry, but I need to tell everyone you were not involved with my daughter and what happened in the store. Ryan was helping with building my new house in Ho`olehua. He has more money than anyone of us and just moved here and building my house with Habitat for Humanity.
Malama Our Reefs

Lesson of the day: "Corals are dying world wide at an alarming rate, we need to malama our Molokai reefs, which have been called a national treasure by the Department of Interior and USGS's 2008 Scientific Investigations Report 2007-5101."

Democracy Can Work?
Not many people participated in the primary elections this month – in fact it was a pretty bad turn out. Democracy can not work if people don't participate, the corporations will rule the day.
However, I wanted to say mahalo nui loa to those who did vote and especially those who voted for Chris Hart for mayor. He came in first place in the Mana`e precinct, second in the Ho`olehua precinct and third in the Kaunakakai and Maunaloa precincts. Molokai was ready for change, but Maui decided to pick the same old guys. Again, mahalo to all those who heeded the call for political unity in support of Chris Hart, I hope more of you participate in the general elections.
