Metal Recycling to Resume

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

After seven months with no metal recycler on Molokai to dispose of junk cars and appliances, the County of Maui has secured a new contractor to run the island’s facility.

Kitagawa Towing, a metals recycling company based on Maui, will oversee the disposal of metal scraps, appliances and junk cars with an event-based collections program on Molokai. The public can dispose of metal material for about two weeks during the collection events, which are expected to take place two to four times per year.

Patience Gaia, vehicles and metals administrator for the county’s Solid Waste Division, said the first Molokai collection event will be held within the next sixth months.

More Delays for Kalaupapa Trail Repair

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

After three months of halted access to the Kalaupapa settlement because of an eroded bridge along the pali trail, National Park Service (NPS) officials say it could take another three months before the trail re-opens to the public. The closure has left Kalaupapa’s visitor industry – the mule rides and charter tours – struggling for survival.

“We’re slowly dying,” Roy Horner said of his business, Molokai Mule Ride. “There are no ways to make money right now.”

A Day of Firsts

A Day of Firsts

Just an ordinary tattoo, you say? Not so fast. This is the first tattoo to be done in Molokai’s first tattoo shop, Righteous Ink, which opened its doors last Saturday to the public.

Sherron Dudoit, Molokai’s first licensed tattoo artist and shop owner, has nestled into his permanent spot at Art of the Heart Gallery where he will be giving eager patrons the chance to get inked.



“There’s going to be a lot of exciting things coming up,” he said. These include a clothing line and several guest artists expected to come to Molokai over the summer. Tattooing alongside Dudoit will be his companion Lyndon Dela Cruz, Molokai’s second tattoo artist to be recently licensed.

So how did Dudoit break in his shop? By giving his wife, Mary (pictured above), her first tattoo.

Kalaupapa Trail Makes Headway

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

For the isolated peninsula of Kalaupapa, the trail that zigzags along its overlooking cliffs is nothing short of a lifeline. That lifeline was cut after a mudslide destroyed a section of the trail last month. Now, restoration efforts are gaining ground as workers prepare to install an approximately 65-foot bridge prefabricated in the continental U.S.

The high-grade aluminum span will replace the temporary bridge constructed on switchback No. 2 of the pali trail. To ensure maximum stability, the new bridge will be held in place by two concrete end structures as well as other stabilization techniques along its full length.
