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.

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.

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.

From A Light From Heaven, first and foremost, we would like to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for helping us, guiding us, and allowing us to open the store. Secondly, we would like to thank the community for showing your support and celebrating the Grand Opening with us and continuing to show your support throughout the week.

With the Blue Planet Foundation's gift to Molokai of 36,000 CFL light bulbs which reduces our use of electricity – big time, as well as pollution, emissions, and fuel use – the idea of making Molokai a clean energy model for the world to copy has already started. The CFL bulbs are the perfect starting point for making Molokai less dependent on imported fuel. Everyone that received the bulbs should see a large reduction in their electric bills, as well as less generated heat in their houses. Beyond unplugging electronics when not in use, and turning off lights when not needed, the next step to saving our island would be installing solar panels for hot water and electricity, plus using wind turbines (not windmills) to generate electricity.

I want to thank Scarlet Ritte and her ohana publicly for her colorful, bold and whimsical public art work in Kaunakakai. She also created an amazing yellow banner of flowers and dragonflies saying "We're praying for you." It was hung on the fence of Kaunakakai Baptist Church facing our elementary school to welcome students, teachers, staff and administration back to a new school year. Last week someone took it. But no one can take the truth of the words away. Yes, we are still praying for Kaunakakai Elementary and for all our island schools. We are still praying for you, including whoever took the banner. Maybe they needed a pretty blanket. Prayer changes things. God hears the heartfelt prayers of His people. He loves you.
Steven Ammasi was a very young cheeky fellow when he was born on Molokai on the 16th of February, 1958. In the later stages of his adolescence he was fantasizing about his goals and visions on what he wanted to do later in his life when he finally reached the perfection of his adulthood. He started setting his sights on the metropolis of Fairbanks and while there met an irresistibly beautiful woman named Wendy, whom he could not wait to unite with her once again, reunited together forever.
