Growing up on Ho`olehua homestead land, Halealoha Ayau said he was “raised by a father who was a Jack of all trades.”
“He had many skills, so I knew what multitasking meant before that was even made fashionable,” Ayau joked last week.
The Project Vision bus made its annual roadtrip to Molokai last Saturday – by way of barge, of course – to give local residents eye exams free of charge.
This year, the bus came to Molokai as part of Ohana Heath Plan’s Wellness Clinic Health Fair, a free healthcare event held in partnership with the Molokai Lions Club Saturday and Sunday at the Mitchell Pauole Center.
The Project Vision bus stayed on Molokai through Wednesday, Nov. 9, holding additional exam sessions in Kilohana, Kualapu`u and Maunaloa. Young Brothers shipped the bus free of charge.

Hello my beloved veterans and people of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans’ news and upcoming events. Why do American flag patches on combat uniforms appear backward? The patch harkens back to when American soldiers carried flags that fluttered behind them as they charged headlong into battle, as they did in the Civil War, for example. To replicate those banners, the blue star field of the flag is embroidered on the patch’s upper right, instead of the left, and faces the front to give the effect of the flag flying in the breeze, as the wearer moves forward.

Molokai Occupational Center (MOC) will tell you to “go stuff it” when you win a free Thanksgiving turkey on Nov. 17.
We have so much to be thankful for this year as we remember the many families that have come into our Thrift Store every Halloween to create a memorable outfit or the many professional ladies who find a silk blouse with a designer tag still on. Working computers have been donated by customers that go into the hands of high schoolers for $50. Guys find leftover building materials on occasion, and we are still waiting the other side of an Air Jordan size 11 shoe in perfect condition (no speck of Molokai dirt even).

Does the thought of creating a spreadsheet or PowerPoint presentation on the computer fill you with dread? Does just the thought of turning a computer on make you want to run in the opposite direction? Why not attend the 21st Century Grant computer class at Kaunakakai Elementary and say goodbye to those fears? If you have no computer skills or your computer skills are a little rusty and you need a refresher, the computer classes offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 to 6 p.m. are just right for you. In this day and age, you will likely need to have some computer skills, whether it is for your job or to help your kids with their school projects.
