Flu Shots Available for Community

Molokai Health Systems News Release

Several flu shot clinics are being set up around the island during the month of September, for residents to receive the 2010-11 seasonal and H1N1 vaccine.

This project is a collaborative effort between Dr. Daniel McGuire, Molokai Community Health Center, Molokai Drugs Inc., Molokai Family Health Center, Molokai General Hospital and Na Pu`uwai, to provide a community service to enhance the health of Molokai residents. The shots are administered by Certified Healthcare Professionals, while supplies last.

Bring a driver’s license or other photo ID. If you are running a fever or are allergic to eggs you are not able to receive the flu vaccination.

Girls’ Volleyball Dominates Maui Prep

The Molokai High School girls’ volleyball team proved to be a triple threat after defeating Maui Prep in three matches on both Friday and Saturday at The Barn.

On Friday, the Lady Farmers swept the Maui Prep Pueo, winning 25-5, 25-11, 25-12 in a Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) Division II match. Larriley Rawlins had five aces and three blocks for Molokai (2-0), while junior outside hitter Kalei Vaivai added five aces to the Farmers’ victory.

Coach Matt Helm said although the girls need to work on minimizing errors, they showed improvement with serving and jumping.

Ranch, County Settle in Water Suit

Monday, September 13th, 2010

After two years of litigation, the battle between Molokai Properties Limited (MPL) and Maui County over water service has ended in an out-of-court settlement.

MPL, commonly known as Molokai Ranch, agreed to continue to operate water and wastewater services through its subsidiaries Wai`ola O Molokai and Molokai Public Utilities (MPU), which serve central and west Molokai. MPL will not ask the county to assume management of their utility services on the island.

“This was a very fair settlement,” said Margery Bronster, former state attorney general, who represented Maui County in the case.

Locally Made Film Gets Exposure

Locally Made Film Gets Exposure

Blending ancient Hawaiian practices – malama ka `aina – with modern methods of sustainability – solar panels and food forests – is the topic of one of Matt Yamashita’s latest films, showing now on `Oiwi TV.

Yamashita is a local filmmaker who has shot a wide range of documentaries. “Sustainable Living on the Island of Molokai” was recently picked up by Oahu-based, video-on-demand station `Oiwi TV. The station began three years ago with a focus on Native Hawaiian programming, even featuring a news program delivered in Hawaiian.

“I first saw the trailer for this when he released it, [and] I knew instantly that I wanted it on `Oiwi TV,” said `Oiwi Chief Financial Officer Keoni Lee. “It is pieces like this, ones that tell the stories no one else is telling but should be. It was kind of like "This American Life" on NPR but Molokai style.”

The video brings attention to the efforts of people on Molokai, who are not just trying to live lightly upon the earth, but in some cases replicating ancient Hawaiian practices.

, ones that are out in the many pockets around the island where lots of good (and unfortunately bad) things are happening,” Lee said. “We want to create a network of producers around the state to contribute to the conversation and venue that we have built.”

Yamashita’s documentary will be highlighted on `Oiwi TV starting Sept. 6 through the 19th. It can be viewed on digital cable channel 326 or on their website http://www.oiwi.tv/.
Yamashita’s videos can be previewed on YouTube via his channel ‘molokaimatt,’ or on his website http://www.islandlifevideos.com/index.html

Molokai: Perfect Model for the World

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

With the Blue Planet Foundation's gift to Molokai of 36,000 CFL light bulbs which reduces our use of electricity – big time, as well as pollution, emissions, and fuel use – the idea of making Molokai a clean energy model for the world to copy has already started. The CFL bulbs are the perfect starting point for making Molokai less dependent on imported fuel. Everyone that received the bulbs should see a large reduction in their electric bills, as well as less generated heat in their houses. Beyond unplugging electronics when not in use, and turning off lights when not needed, the next step to saving our island would be installing solar panels for hot water and electricity, plus using wind turbines (not windmills) to generate electricity.

Political Unity

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

Political Unity

I have been on the political front lines for many years, usually fighting for things that cannot speak for themselves, such as the land, water, ocean, Haloa the taro, and reefs.

Some of these battles have been successful because we were able to unite people to action.

I am writing this letter to ask for political unity and your support and kokua in the Maui County mayoral race. We have decided to support Chris Hart for Mayor of Maui County. He is by far the best candidate in the large field running for Maui County Mayor.

We have had many long discussions with Mr. Hart about the future of Molokai on both the economic level and the quality of life level. He is the man.

Come help us keep Molokai Molokai: call Walter Naki at 558-8184, Ron Davis at 553-3038, Pancho Alcon at 553-5403, Mel Kahinu at 336-1190, Tom Manangan at 560-8234 or myself at 567-9415 if you would like to unite with us for a better future for Molokai. Join our sign waving; look for us every Wednesday at 4 p.m.

Fifth Place for Team, Runner

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

The Molokai High School boys’ cross country team placed fifth out of eight teams at the Maui Interscholastic League (MIL)’s first meet two weekends ago. Top runner at the meet held in Hana was Akona Adolpho, who placed fifth with a time of 18:40.07.

“Akona…faded toward the end but ran really well,” said Coach Mahina Hou. “Hopefully [we] get higher up in the next team standings.”

The Farmers were represented by five runners at the Aug. 28 meet: Paka Adolpho placed 20th, Kailen Inoye placed 36th, Michael Kikukawa placed 38th and Hunter Pawn-Kalilikane placed 41st.

“[The meet] was actually a good chance to see where we started [this season],” Hou said, adding their workouts will become more intense with hill and interval work leading up to their next meet.
