I just attended a Department of Health meeting on June 7 on Molokai. This meeting was originally intended for community agencies only; however, I, a community member, was asked to sit in. I was appalled by the comments and statements made regarding our adult mental health services on Molokai.

Hospice Hawaii Molokai is a Way of Caring

Quality hospice care can make the difference between unbearable pain symptoms, overwhelming stress and living peacefully and as pain free as possible to the very end of life.  Hospice Hawaii Molokai is a way of caring; not a place. We are home-centered and have a team approach in our focus on the patient and their family.  We promote living with dignity and caring for one another.

Veterans Corner

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Hello veterans, old Jesse here with all the veterans’ news and upcoming events. I have some news for all our Marines out there. The current sergeant major of the Marine Corps, Carlton Kent, is retiring during a ceremony at the Marine Barracks in Washington D.C. on June 9. General Jim Amos, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, announced on April 11, 2011 in Washington D.C. that Sgt. Maj. Mike Barrett will become the 17th Sergeant Major, stepping in after Kent’s retirement. Sgt. Maj. Barrett is a 30-year veteran of the Corps, having enlisted at age 17 in 1981. I know that all Marines present and past will join me in wishing Sgt. Maj. Barrett well in his new position.

The Store House greatly appreciated your business and regrets our sudden closure. Numerous inquiries as to, “Why?” business closed prompted a need for an informational letter.

Honoring the Ultimate Sacrifice

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011


On May 30 at the Ho`olehua Veteran Cemetery, many Molokai families, visitors and a swarm of Molokai vets dressed in “mellow yellows” honored and remembered their fallen comrades from Molokai in all wars that gave the ultimate sacrifice, those who served and died to protect America’s interests and freedom.  Millions of white crosses and grave markers from Normandy to Arlington to Molokai tell the story.  It is this day every year we remember and celebrate with reverence and dignity the spirit and soul of the soldiers.  What an extravaganza in their honor.
