I would like to thank all of you who supported me in my candidacy for the Board of Education – Maui District Two. I have always been proud of the public school education I received here in Hawaii. I have since put it to good use. It is my desire to give back to my home – this special place that has given so much to me.
Missing: small black canvas suitcase with music books. It was taken from a black pickup truck in the Hotel Molokai parking lot around 8:30-9 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 12. My 30+ years of songs are irreplaceable, and priceless. In the bag was also one microphone, microphone cable and a music light stand. Please return, no questions asked, to Hotel Molokai or the Molokai Police station.

My apologies to the public, owners of Mini Mart, and the guy on the Mini Mart surveillance camera from the theft a few weeks ago – I am Lisette’s mother, and Lisette was on the surveillance camera. First of all, Ryan, the guy on the surveillance, along with the two girls – brother, I am sorry, but I need to tell everyone you were not involved with my daughter and what happened in the store. Ryan was helping with building my new house in Ho`olehua. He has more money than anyone of us and just moved here and building my house with Habitat for Humanity.

Not many people participated in the primary elections this month – in fact it was a pretty bad turn out. Democracy can not work if people don't participate, the corporations will rule the day.
However, I wanted to say mahalo nui loa to those who did vote and especially those who voted for Chris Hart for mayor. He came in first place in the Mana`e precinct, second in the Ho`olehua precinct and third in the Kaunakakai and Maunaloa precincts. Molokai was ready for change, but Maui decided to pick the same old guys. Again, mahalo to all those who heeded the call for political unity in support of Chris Hart, I hope more of you participate in the general elections.

Kayla Matson and James Corpuz led the Molokai High School air riflery team at their first meet of the season, breaking into the top ten with scores of 204 and 229, respectively.
“Kayla did well, our season shooter was two points under her,” said Head Coach David Kalani. “And she’s new, never shot before.”
Matson shot an 85 in prone position, 49 in standing, and 70 in kneeling – placing 7th overall. Corpuz shot a 91 prone, 67 standing and 71 kneeling, making 6th overall.

Known for its close community of musicians and artists, Molokai inspires with its rich culture, history, and natural beauty. Recently a group of artists, including Molokai keiki, had a chance to share their own inspiration translated into art.
The piece is comprised of several art mediums hewn together. Several kapa-patterned batik screens as wide as 12 feet hang from overhead. Below, on the floor, copper kalo leaves stretch skyward from their metal stalks. Bamboo, rock, and other natural materials compliment the organic vibe of the piece.

Aloha, Aunty here. Pehea oe? Maika`i no au? I hope I do this correctly. I’m so enjoying my class. My kumu, Hokulani Holt-Padilla, makes it so interesting that I found that I forgot to take notes. Todd suggested that I use a tape recorder. Monday and Wednesday we give our final presentation. I am way nervous but my team mates are so good that I have no worries. We should have an A, not to brag too much.
My neighbors and I went to Coffees of Hawaii on Sunday. I have not been there in days! So good to see all the folks there. The stage has been rearranged so that there is more room to do hula. There is also a Queen’s Chair and of course Aunty Julia sits in it as she says she’s the pretty one. I love to dance with DJ and his haumana are so fabulous. My neighbor saw the haumana dance at the movie festival and came home and raved about them. He’s pretty particular with how hula is danced so way to go everyone! I do miss our kupuna Aunty Dora and Aunty Ku`ulei. Hopefully Aunty Ku`ulei will be able to come back again to lend her sweet voice to the songs.
