Oldies and Goodies

This year’s 8th Annual Molokai Senior Fair was held at Home Pumehana, to raise awareness for kupuna and their caregivers by introducing them to agencies from Oahu and Molokai. The meet-up provided attendees an opportunity to discover various services.

The event was coordinated by Hale Maha’olu, Alu Like, and M.E.O. Emcee Kaui Manera of the Alu Like program joyfully kept the kupuna motivated and entertained with beautiful Hawaiian music and hula throughout the day.

Home Pumehana’s Jersula Manaba and executive director of Hale Maha’olu, Roy Katsuda, mentioned that many of the kupuna, who once came to grab ‘free stuff’, have found themselves gathering and utilizing the information from the many different agencies and have discovered that there are great opportunities out there.

Mirth for the Earth

Mirth for the Earth

The 18th annual Molokai Earth Day celebration had a special guest this year – a giant o`opu – that entertained the crowd and raised awareness about Molokai’s rare species. Begun in 1993, Molokai Earth Day has become one of the island’s most popular annual events, hosted by The Nature Conservancy (TNC). This year also marked the 40th  anniversary of the celebration nation-wide.

Held at Mitchell Pauole Center last Friday evening, Earth Day brought hundreds of attendees, young and old. Booths from local and national organizations, who are working on the island to help preserve the environment, educated attendees about their activities and what people can do for the earth. Smokey the Bear, a mascot for forest fire prevention, also made a guest appearance.

More Shark Attacks?

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

As an ex-commercial fisherperson who watched and spoke to people who fished during eth tsunami, I am concerned for those who may casually enter the water thinking things may be the same as usual.

Molokai Vets: Yes You Can Build But Wait….

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Four and half years of the permit process with Maui and Molokai planners…hearings, meetings, discussions, on and on.  Finally we got the green light to build.  Four and half months ago we started prepping our property to build a 3,100 sq. ft. Veteran Center Museum.  In the last three months we are now in limbo waiting for our building permit.  All departments in the County of Maui have signed off except for the Water Department.

Health Center Gets Facelift

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

One permit down, one to go. The Molokai Community Health Center (MCHC) got an OK from the Molokai Planning Commission last week to start renovations in June. Executive Director Desiree Puhi said the move is a good step forward to offering their core services as soon as possible.

“[MCHC] is a very important resource for our community, we are fortunate to have [the center], providing for our community,” said acting chairperson Steve Chaikin after the commission passed their permit unanimously.

The new health center, located at the old Pau Hana Inn, moved in July of 2009. Of the original 10 buildings built in 1971, this application would renovate three of the buildings. A Special Management Area major permit is required for the rest of the campus.

Winning Time at Merrie Monarch

Winning Time at Merrie Monarch

 

While no Molokai hula halau was represented at this year’s Merrie Monarch festival on Hawaii Island, the beautiful jewelry and crafty display of two Molokai residents won big at the craft fair.

Haunani Madela and her husband Ameron-John Madela won for best booth design at Merrie Monarch a few weeks ago. Their business, Lohikai o Molokai Shell Jewelry, made its third appearance at Merrie Monarch, but Haunani said this was the first year they decorated. First place prize was a free booth next year – a $300 value.

Haunani said the booth was modeled after a bamboo shack – kukui leaves wanded together, pele hair hanging down, tea leaf strands rising up the bamboo, and the tables edged by hina hina.

“The judges just kept saying it was really beautiful,” she said. “They’d never seen anything like it in all their years.”
