‘So We Can Live In Paradise’

‘So We Can Live In Paradise’

By Jack Kiyonaga, Community Reporter 

Molokai resident Jayson Mizula has published a book of poetry entitled “So We Can Live In Paradise: Poems by an American Settler in Occupied Hawai’i.” The poems are the culmination of seven years of work and intend to reflect the reality of life in Hawaii, especially for Native Hawaiians. 

The collection is inspired by Mizula and his wife Bahar’s time as caretakers for Moke Kim’s homestead in Ho’olehua. 

“As we helped Uncle grow kalo and other things to share with friends and neighbors, we were horrified by the barrels and barrels of black plastic we’d pull from the soil every time we’d plant a new area,” said Mizula.…

Molokai High School’s Bold Move to Academies

Wednesday, August 24th, 2022

By Richard Ornellas

Molokai High School (MHS) is meeting the emerging opportunities of 21st century life for their students in a bold move to College and Career Academies: instruction based on career pathways rather than English, math, science, social studies and electives. Mirroring the trend in Hawaii for public high schools to become more relevant for post-high school life, such as the successful Waipahu High School academies model, initiated by former principal, Keith Hayashi, now DOE Superintendent, MHS has begun their transition.

The academies are Community Service and Sustainability (CSS) with Team Lead Lisa Takata, and Innovation Business and Technology (IBT) with Team Lead Kai Ward, and O Hina I Ka Malama, the Hawaiian Immersion Language Academy, Lead Mahinahou Ross.…

By Ric Ornellas

“Spring Break” in America — since the 1930s — meant college students breaking from long winter studies to bask in lazy sun-and-surf days. But that wasn’t the case for a select cohort of 13 Molokai High School students, members of the Molokai College Career Club (MC3). 

The MC3, during this March 13-18 holiday, traveled 5,000 miles on a self-funded college career tour to Columbia University and New York University in NYC and Princeton University and Monmouth University in New Jersey. They will experience the Walk Niagara Falls Tours to witness the breathtaking beauty of nature.

They further enjoyed a customized career night organized by Emily Harris, a NYC resident, longtime MHS supporter since 2014, and mainland paddler in Na Wahine o Ke Kai.…
