Soap for Molokai, Pride in Residency

Soap for Molokai, Pride in Residency

 

Molokai Soaps has its own shop now, and owner Patricia Hammond hopes to bring some pride in residency to Kaunakakai. This means she’s working on beautifying town and encouraging others to follow suit.

She moved her business into a portion of the old Fish and Dive on the main strip of Ala Malama Street. The remaining portion of the former dive shop, though empty, is now a little livelier thanks to Hammond’s initiative.

“This is the first thing you see when you come into town,” Hammond said as she stood outside the store next to her soap shop. “And unfortunately it’s an ugly building.”…

Molokai Resident Receives MBA

 

Education was a priority for Liliana Napoleon. After overcoming a decade’s worth of challenges, the Mana`e resident received her master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) last semester.

She attained her bachelor degree from Western Governors University (WGU), an online, nonprofit school with over 39,000 students nation-wide.

When she completed a double associate degree from Molokai Education Center in 2004, her plans were to continue her education through the University of Hawaii system. But when her father fell terminally ill, her plans changed.

Eat, Drink and be Maika`i: Hotel Lively but No Kitchen Until 2014

When Hula Shores, Hotel Molokai’s restaurant and bar, burned down last June, there were questions over the business’s future. But thanks to a small menu and some talented kupuna, Hotel Molokai is still serving up drinks, food and entertainment until the new restaurant is rebuilt.

Hotel chef Gene Pike cooks up mahi-mahi, chicken, hamburgers and hotdogs as dinner plates or sandwiches Thursday through Monday from 4 until 9 p.m. Na Kupuna attracts a crowd to the bar each Friday night, and the market that goes along with the event gives vendors a chance to make money and send visitors home with souvenirs.…

Fishing for a Future

 

Captain Clay Ching left his rod and reel behind last Thursday as he made his way into the Molokai High School (MHS) library. He was there for Future Fest, an annual event that brings together professionals and students at MHS. And though his fishing equipment was back on the boat, the man behind Hallelujah Hou Fishing still did some casting in the midst of books and computers.

“The thing about this day is vision casting,” Captain Clay said about Future Fest. Ching explained how his hobby had transformed into a business which allowed him to support his family. This inspired a student who said he enjoyed kayak fishing, and Ching encouraged him to follow that interest into a career offering a unique activity on Molokai.…

Fighting Fire to Save Coral

Fighting Fire to Save Coral

A wildfire blazed across the south slope from Kalamaula to Kawela in 1998. It took over two hours for the first helicopter to respond. There was no command center and no unified radio communication. The fire claimed 15,000 acres of land.

A fire broke out in the same area 11 years later. The first helicopter responded in 40 minutes. There was an effective command center and communication through a single radio system. That fire burnt 8,000 acres of land.

The difference between the fires – the difference that saved 7,000 acres of mountainside – was the Molokai Fire Task Force, an organization of various agencies and groups with a unified mission to prevent and control fires.…
