It looks like the Molokai Culinary Center (MCC) has hit a nerve. Whether it's the high cost of dining out, sentimental memories of family recipes, or simply an inspiration ready to be acted upon, the idea of cooking lessons is taking off. Don Hill, the chef and principal instructor at MCC reports that during July, August and September, nearly 20 people attended six lessons/workshops and practiced a total of 21 different recipes. A few brave souls have attended as many as three sessions each. The most productive session was on Friday, Sept. 16, when four participants created 224 servings of pastry for the St. Damien Country Fair in only three hours!

Molokai Community Health Center (MCHC) made the big move into their newly renovated Oceanside facility Sept. 16. Staff and patients alike are excited to have the expanded space to better serve our community.
The renovation of the former Pau Hana Inn property, however, is far from complete. Two more phases to the project remain, including the renovation of the smaller buildings, pool rehabilitation, landscaping, and parking lot expansion.
“We’re in and that’s huge, but we still have some work ahead of us,” said Desiree Puhi, MCHC executive director.
Board President Rosie Davis stated, “It was so exciting to see everything come together as planned. The campus came to life right before my eyes.”

Kanu Hawaii is pleased to announce the start of the Molokai Home Energy Monitor Program, a new energy pilot project intended to help Molokai renters and homeowners understand and manage their energy use.
The project will invite 100 Molokai households to receive a free whole-house energy monitor that displays real-time, minute-to-minute energy consumption and cost data via a table-stop display about the size of a cell phone. The display shows up-to-the minute dollar costs for all electricity use in the home, from "phantom" draw from electronics to opening the fridge door or taking a hot shower. As appliances are turned on and off, the monitor shows the changing cost.
