Perfection

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

Have you ever thought of what perfection is? I seek to make my relationships an experience of perfection. I’m not talking about always doing things that please others or avoiding arguments. We will disagree and I believe that in time every relationship will experience disagreements that may lead to arguments. I’m talking about how we choose to deal with these issues and respond to those times as well as the good moments. By trying our best to make our time together an experience of perfection we’re helping each other become better people as we continually try to be at our best with one another. I do these things because I love you and I love me. I want us to be as happy as we possibly can under the situations we may find ourselves in.

Molokai, the Dream

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

Listen to the voice of the endless sea, blending with the shimmering indigo sky, on this beautiful place called Molokai.
Together you stroll on the golden sands, exploring the beaches, walking hand in hand.
Just the mere presence on this island is more than a thrill, you get the feeling that time has stood still.
No matter where on earth you have traveled in your mind’s eye, there is no place as magnificent as lovely Molokai.
From the lush green jungle on the island’s east end, stroll under the rich canopy sky, to the quaint little town of Kaunakakai.
Wherever you go and whatever your scheme, the entire island is like the proverbial dream.
The sunset is like the soft, gentle words to a song; if you see it even once, it will grace your member your whole life long.

Is Obama’s Mama Being Trumped?

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

After two and a half years of Obama’s presidency, why would TV networks like CNN and FOX give Donald Trump media time to question President Obama’s birthplace?  One of the qualifications to be a candidate for the Presidency is the person must be a natural born citizen of the United States. Is Donald Trump disputing the credibility of the CIA, FBI, and the Secret Service?

Help Needed for Fishpond Restoration

The March 11 tsunami brought down the walls of the Keawanui Fishpond (12 mile marker east), and the entire wall needs to be put back, approx. 2,000 feet.

Daily work, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the wall has started, those interested in helping and learning the “dry stacking” method of fishpond wall building, please call 553-3244 or 558-0111 and leave your name and contact information.

Please be advised that this is hard work and we have no funding for this disaster, so you will have to provide your own food, (lunch), tabis (or old shoes), gloves and transportation. This is serious work of our kupuna, don’t come if you only want to mahaoe and ask a thousand questions. In the doing comes the learning.

Veterans’ Corner

Veterans’ Corner

Community Contributed

By Jesse Church

Hello veterans, old Jesse here with all the veterans’ news and upcoming events. Just a reminder that Joe Thompson from the VA will be at the veterans’ center in Kaunakakai on April 29 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. he will be able to answer your questions and help file claims, and give advice on all VA issues. Supplies of the yellow Molokai Veterans Caring for Veterans (MVCV) shirts are running low, so get yours at the veterans’ center before their gone. The annual MVCV Cribbage Tournament will be on May 7, so get your registration form filled out.

The U.S. Mint has begun selling the 2011 U.S. Army commemorative coins – 50-cent, silver dollar and five dollar gold coins. The coins are in recognition and celebration of the establishment of the Army in 1775 and to honor the American soldier of yesterday and today. The Mint is also taking orders for the 2011 Medal of Honor commemorative coins – silver and five dollar gold coins. The Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force that can be given to a person serving in the U.S. armed forces. The medal was authorized by Congress in 1861 as the Navy’s highest personal decoration, with the Army Medal of Honor authorized in 1862 and the Air Force in 1956. The medals are presented by the president in the name of Congress, and less than 3,500 have been authorized in 150 years. Call 1-800-872-6468 for more information, pricing and to order any of these coins.


Seven veterans from MVCV went to Honolulu on April 4 for the federal court hearing. Our attorney Suki Halevi argued in defense of nine complains filed by MVCV, and Maui County attorney Jane Lowell argued and filed a motion to dismiss our complaint. The judge said he would announce his decision at the end of the month, if any of the veterans’ claims have legal merit. Should the case move on, the trial is set for Oct. 25.

If anyone has any news, stores or experiences while serving this great country they would like to share, give old Jesse a call at 553-3323. A big mahalo to all our veterans, and the people of Molokai, I love you all.

Runner Another Step Closer to States

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

The Molokai High School Farmers track and field team may have another state qualifier on their hands. Sophomore Akona Adolpho dropped time in his 800-meter race at last weekend’s Victorino Ohana Invitational at War Memorial stadium – and is 4.5 seconds away from the state qualifying time.

“With a little bit more focus in practice, and a little more push, I’m sure I’ll be able to get the techniques I need,” to qualify, Adolpho said.

“I’m really proud of the way he ran with such courage,” said coach Jessie Ford. Akona finaled in sixth place in the 800 at 2:11.43. He qualified with his personal best, 2:09.58.

Senior Kalei Adolpho qualified for states in the high jump at the last Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) meet.

Molokai Loses a Voice

Molokai Loses a Voice

There has been an unseen hand behind many successful Molokai projects: Irene Lam, former area specialist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development. It was her job to bring money into Molokai for businesses, construction and development – and according to many that have worked with her, she succeeded tenfold. After 19 years of serving Molokai, Lam left to work and care for her mother and work in Los Angeles.

Through USDA Rural Development grants that she researched and wrote, Lam has provided a 90-year-old woman her own home, built the Lanikeha Community Center, restored Kalanianaole Hall, and brought in millions of dollars over the past 19 years for a multitude of other projects.
