Community Contributed

By Clare Seeger Mawae

Stand Up Paddle Association of Molokai (SUPAM) had race number two of the season in both the long and short courses. Runner up youth champion from 2011 was Kekai Adachi, winning the short course in a credible time of 41.23 in the surfboard division. Solana Adachi followed shortly after.

Josie Mawae took honors in the 10-mile long course with Kavin Kuwamura, who entered last minute.

This was another great event especially for those preparing for the Waikiki Paddle Festival, the Olokai, the Molokai Holokai, the Maliko Gulch Races, channel events, and other major events around the state.…

Time for Oke to Make Comeback?

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

Community Contributed

Opinion by Chris Carey

Anyone who is interested in our island and its history knows of the famous 1935 Hilo Hattie song “The Cockeyed Mayor of Kaunakakai.” (For those who don’t, you can find the story at squareone.org/Hapa/c6.html.)

Whether you disdain the song or not, one verse goes “…He drank a gallon of oke to make life worthwhile,” and therein lies an idea. “Oke” or Okolehao is an illicit, indigenous island liquor made from Ti root that so many enjoyed on the sly, back in the day. Depending on its source, it could be smooth as silk or as vicious as a scorpion’s sting.…

Mikayla Pico, MIL Girls Wrestler of the Year

It’s not the size of the wrestler in the match, it’s the size of the determination in the wrestler. Ninety-eight-pound Molokai High senior Mikayla Pico proved that strength is more than just the physical when she wrestled an undefeated season, and faced her final opponent one-armed after an injury on the mat, finishing second in the state. Now, she’s been named Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) Girls Wrestler of the Year by The Maui News.

Seeded number one in the state competition, the Molokai wrestler dislocated her shoulder near the end of the season.…

All-Star Duo

Two Farmers named D-II Basketball All-Stars

Though the Farmers finished Maui Interscholastic League runner-ups last season, Molokai High Basketball players David Rapanot and Hauoli Falealii achieved high honors. They were named to The Maui News All-Star first team for Division II.

“They have high spirits and work really hard on the court,” said Coach Lester Delos Reyes, who has been working with the Molokai High Farmers for the past five years. “They set good examples for the other guys, which makes the coach’s job a lot easier.”

Hauoli Falealii, a junior in his third year on the team, leads the Farmers as co-captain and point guard.…

Leaving a Legacy of Faith

Well-loved priest to move from Molokai.

By Catherine Cluett

While most Catholic priests are known for their spotless black cassocks and distinctive clerical collar, Molokai’s Father Clyde Guerreiro is often found in work-worn denim overalls, a construction tool in hand.

Described by parishioners and community members as self-deprecating, down-to-earth, quick to laugh, a handyman and a visionary, Guerriero is fulfilling his childhood dream of priesthood. As a member of the Sacred Hearts order, he has been serving on Molokai for five years. But at the end of June, Guerreiro will be leaving the island, having been asked to re-build a Catholic community in Wahiawa, Oahu, and later, Tonga.…
