By Alestra Menendez

Write Out Loud, a group of Molokai High School writers, has been meeting on Friday mornings to draft, revise and share their writing since November, 2011. This April, they are trying out a new genre: screenwriting. Write Out Loud will join the international movement of Script Frenzy that occurs each April and is made possible by the organizers of National Novel Writing Month in November.

Students have been preparing themselves by reading actual screenplays that were made into movies, such as “Benny and June.” They have been introduced to the infamous three act structure and the concept of the sought-after McGuffin.…

With limited police resources on the island, the Maui Police Department is calling upon the community for communication and assistance in response to increasing questions concerning recent crimes on Molokai. When it comes to criminal defense, the importance of choosing a reliable and experienced criminal defense lawyer or attorney cannot be overstated.…

Passing on Prince Kuhio’s Legacy

Passing on Prince Kuhio’s Legacy

Families gathered at Lanikeha Recreation Center to celebrate what would have been Prince Kuhio’s 141st birthday on Saturday, March 24. His actual birthday, March 26, is recognized as a national holiday and celebrated every year across the islands. Guests young and old enjoyed a variety of vendor booths, food selections and live music performances in his honor.

Life might be different for present-day Hawaiian homesteaders if Prince Kuhio had not lobbied for the Hawaiian Homes Act, which was first passed in 1921. As the first royal-born representative for Congress, Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana`ole fought to ensure the preservation of 200,000 acres of land for native Hawaiians.…

TV and Your Child

Column by Tutu and Me Traveling Preschool

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children under the age of 2 should not watch any TV or videos. Children at this age need to be interacting with people and materials, rather than sitting passively watching TV. Children over 2 should also be engaged in play activities with adults and other children, but may watch a limited amount of TV. Choose educational programs for your child, such as “Sesame Street” or “Dora the Explorer,” and age-appropriate videos.

Children who watch too much TV tend to do worse in school, be more overweight, and learn behaviors from television.…

Molokai Art Center Opens Its Doors

Though the Molokai Art Center has been open for less than a month, the shelves are already laden with ceramic bowls and figurines waiting for the kiln. Along the bottom shelf sits a herd of chalky rabbits, shaped by some of Molokai’s youngest artists. They are a symbol of what the new Art Center is all about –a space where Molokai keiki and adults could experience “freedom and discipline in a nurturing environment,” according to the Art Center’s Board of Directors.

The blessing of the new community Art Center, currently located at the Coffees of Hawaii Plantation in Kualapu`u, took place last Friday.…

Season’s First Stand Up Race

Season’s First Stand Up Race

SUPAM News Release

Stand Up paddle Association of Molokai (SUPAM) had their first race of the this year’s series Makani Ikaika O Molokai, on March 10th, 2012. This event lived up to its name. The Molokai to Oahu leg of the Olamau canoe race was postponed to Sunday, March 11 due to high winds and big seas and therefore SUPAM did the same for the long course, Kamalo to Kaunakakai.

However, the short course was inside the reef and in shallow water so the short course – three miles from One Ali`i fishpond to Kaunakakai Harbor – continued as scheduled. The wind was howling and for the kids that entered this was quite the adventure.…
