To the people of Molokai, our brothers and sisters. We were very excited to hear of your meeting with Pattern and Bio-Logical Capital. Copies of the event are showing up all over the island. If we don’t take care of the `aina, what will become of us? Thank you for your courage. The people of Lanai are with you!

Looking at the map of the proposed undersea cable route, consider the following:
Both Oahu cable sites are on military bases. Why? Because these are the only sites approved for this type of cable.
What will happen when the cable is laid from Ilio Point and along the south shore of Molokai?
Destruction of breeding grounds for native animals and plants, ancient fish ponds and our reef. How do we know this? We have on Molokai an elder who has worked on undersea cables in Hawaii and throughout the world. Cables are laid on the sea floor unless there is an obstruction. Then an attempt is made to dig through the obstruction, or in the case of a reef, dynamite is used to blow a hole through it, endangering the whole reef system.
What about the cable to Lanai from Kaunakakai? The cable lies in the channel where whales come seasonally to breed and birth their young. For this reason these waters are protected as part of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary.

Be careful with modern technology today. If you “tweet,” someone might want to peek. If you tell a story on Facebook, it becomes everyone’s open or space book. Lesson – don’t “weiner” around with “tweedle lee dee.”
I have worked with clients that utilize the mental health department through work that I have done, both in my employment and with people in the community. For your government leaders, please look closely at what will be affected should this facility, the drop-in center or clubhouse, close. Sometimes the fast fixes would cost more than having the mental health department remain open, be it with same or less staffing but have the resources here for our population on Molokai. We are already limited and isolated as it is, don't let us be more so.
