Yes, that’s an awfully big name for a very small guy, but both he, his twin sister Kaiolohia and their dad like to fl y on Makani Kai Air. “I like you guys because of the free parking,” says Kevin. “I have a corporate account at Mokulele and although it’s nice that they let you take your bags for free, it’s still cheaper to fl y Makani Kai because the parking’s free.” Kekueneponookekai, whose name means Righteous Steward of the Sea, doesn’t say a lot yet, but he seems to agree.

When she was in eighth grade, Molokai High junior Momi Af-elin wrote her first grant for ro-
botics education. Fast forward three years and she has five successful grants under her belt, with the most recent awarded to the Kaunakakai Elementary robotics pro-gram last Friday morning.
“I hope this grant opens the kids' eyes to all the opportunities that are out there for them in STEM,” Afelin said, re-ferring to science, technology, engineering and math fields
For the last two years, Afelin has volunteered her time as a student mentor after school at Kaunakakai Elementary to help students with their presentation skills. Last week, she presented a grant check for $1000 from the Air Force Com-munication and Electronic Association (AFCEA) for the school’s fifth grade ro-botics program. Monsanto also awarded the robotics program $250.
“Robotics is alive and well at Kaunakakai and it’s happening during the school day in fifth grade,” said Afe-lin’s mother and Kaunakakai special edu-cation teacher Meg Fox.
To date, Afelin has written three single-authored grants from AFCEA and co-authored two grants with Fox from the Maui Economic Development Board (MEDB) and Monsanto. Afelin first got in-

Molokai Paddlers Win Big at World sprintsBy Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief
Seven Molokai paddlers represented Team Hawaii at the World Sprints in Rio de Janeiro Brazil and came home
with 10 medals between them. Paddling on several different crews, Penny Martin, Camie Kimball, Crystal Egusa, Donna Paoa, Janice Kalanihuia, Lou Ann Reyes and Daphne Socher made the trip earlier this month and in total, earned five first places, two second places and three third places.
This year, Brazil hosted the Va`a World Sprint Championships, races held in locations around the world every two years among the world's best paddlers.
“It is always a proud moment to stand on the podium and receive the gold medal or any medal for Hawaii,” said Martin. “To stand there and see the Ha-waiian flag flying first and highest and to hear 'Hawaii Pono`i' being played and then to know that not only are you stand-ing there for Hawaii Nei but also for our Molokai Nui a Hina is a great feeling.”
Since 2004, Martin and Kimball have raced in the event with the Island Mas-
ters A team at the World Sprints since 2004. The crew won gold in the age 60s category double hull race, as well as the six-man 500 meter and 1000 meter events. They also placed first in the 50s double hull and second in the 50s 500 and 1000-meter races.
Egusa, who has attended two World Sprints in the past, paddled this year with the Island Masters B crew and

It usually signals unfortunate cir-cumstances when Hawaii Life Flight (HLF) -- an air ambulance service
-- arrives, but last week it was a cel-ebration. The company has been offer-ing emergency air medical transport on Molokai since 2006, and this year, made the island one of its bases. That means faster service for Molokai residents in need – and a better chance to save more lives, according to HLF staff.
“For all time-sensitive patients, like stroke, cardiac and trauma, every second counts… It can be life or death,” said flight nurse and Molokai base manager Josh Schroeder.
With the nearest bases on Oahu and Maui, the response time for HLF crew to arrive on Molokai for a call used to be be-tween 45 minutes and an hour and a half, said Schroeder. Now, that time averages 15 minutes.
“If we can get to those patients faster, it increases their chances,” Schroeder said. “Every minute helps… We’re still doing the best we can to save as many lives as possible.”
The new base means that one of the company’s aircraft, two pilots and two medical staff are on-island and on-call 24/7. Schroeder said if the plane is current-ly taking a patient to an off-island medical facility, they have back-up coverage from Maui or Oahu.
The rotating staff of four medical crew and three pilots are dedicated to Molokai, said Program Director Dawn Guillermo. They have houses in Ranch Camp and the Heights in Kamiloloa, close to the hospital, where calls come in.
HLF staff said with crews doing al-most a flight a day from Molokai, it was more cost effective – as well as better for patients – for the company to create a Molokai base.
“We’ve noticed the need on Molokai
has been great the last few years,” said Guillermo.
Mark Leggett, medical department chief, agreed and said the company is meeting an important demand.
“[Being on Molokai] it’s a more con-sistent, faster response with a dedicated team,” he said.
Last Thursday, the company held a blessing for its new base at the Ho`olehua Airport. Keiki from Punana Leo preschool offered oli, while kahu blessed the plane, pilots, crew and HLF staff as they move forward to serve Molokai residents.
HLF representatives also shared membership plans with attendees. The company’s `Ohana Plus Program offers membership to families for $30 per year if they already have medical insurance. Guillermo said for those without insur-ance, HLF membership is $60 per year.

Jeans Warehouse News Release
When Molokai residents expressed their farewell to the Molokai General Store in August, many were saddened to see the one-stop shop close its doors. The Mikami family was grateful for the community support over the years, but unfortunately, was driven to close their doors due to de-clining sales.
The Mikami family has been searching for new occupants to provide a welcomed service to the island of Molokai. Protect-ing the community and culture of Molokai has been the key concern with Mr. David and Jon Mikami’s search and has been very selective in their decision.
Jeans Warehouse will occupy the space of the former Molokai General Store, bringing its first store to The Friendly Isle this October. This will be the company’s 29th retail outlet within the chain of Jeans Warehouse and Local Fever stores through-out Hawaii.
The store will feature trendy Junior fashion, including Junior Plus sizes 1X-3X, ladies fashion, accessories, and shoes. The
store assortment will also include girls tod-dler, 4-6X and size 7-16 apparel, with acces-sories and shoes for our young keiki. The newest department at Jeans Warehouse is boys toddlers, 4-6X, and Men’s wear fea-turing casual T-shirts and shorts. There will also be several novelty treasures found throughout the store.
Linda Holt recognized a need to pro-vide Hawaii residents and visitors with a broad range of affordable junior fashion and established Jeans Warehouse in 1978. The company operates stores on Oahu, Maui, Hawaii Island, Kauai and soon Molokai and Guam.
Jeans Warehouse is a locally oper-ated company and is now a 100 percent employee-owned organization through the Jeans Warehouse Employee Stock Owner-ship Plan.
For over 30 years, Jeans Warehouse has been dedicated to bringing the latest fashion trends, at affordable prices, to our customers and is now very excited to be part of the ohana of the island of Molokai in October, 2014.

Katchafire Free Concert By Paulele Alcon
Molokai my home, I wanted to thank you each and every one of you for the love and support of my company, Hawaii’s Finest, since day one. We are very proud to announce that we are arriving upon our five-year anniversary and we wanted to celebrate such a milestone with the birthplace and home of the compa-ny. We are where we are simply be-cause you’ve been who you’ve been to us.
We are very excited to invite every one of you to Hawaii’s Fin-est Five Year Anniversary Mahalo Party this Friday, Sept. 6 at the One Alii Park. We are celebrating the occasion with dear friends of ours
and the same band that played at our first every concert… Katchafire. Also performing is Molokai’s own Roots Mafia, Just Cuz and Melia Ka-lawe. The party starts at 6 p.m. and will go until Katchafire runs out of songs to sing.
Molokai, please come out and share this special occasion with us. The entire island is invited, all ages, and of course no ticket is needed. Just show up in your favorite Ha-waii’s Finest gear and be ready for one of the biggest parties to ever hit the Friendly Isle. See you Fri-day night Molokai! Also make sure to stop by our Molokai Shop at 75B Ala Malama Ave and stay updated with the company at HIFinest.com!
volved with grant writing after submitting a science fair project on robotics to the Ha-waii State Science and Engineering Fair in seventh grade. It wasn’t until eighth grade that Afelin was approached by AFCEA to write a grant for her school. That year, her grant awarded $1000 for STEM education to Molokai Middle School’s robotics pro-gram from AFCEA.
She’s continued writing grants every year since. When Afelin began mentoring robotics at Kaunakakai Elementary, she said she knew the school needed more funds so she took it upon herself to write grants for the school.
Although grant writing is time con-suming, the funding for continued educa-tion is worth it in the end, Afelin said.
“There’s so much funding out there and it’s just a matter of sifting through it to find what applies to you by highlight-ing the challenges you can overcome through grant writing,” she said. “Coming from Molokai and being economically de-pressed is an advantage when you’re writ-ing a grant because it shows you need this money for your community and for your schools.”
Kaunakakai STEM coordinator Kawi-
ka Gonzales accepted the grant checks on Friday. Gonzales works with a committee to build more STEM learning opportunities for grades pre-K through six, and the fund-ing received will support the students.
“It’s really important that our commu-nity realizes that they can contribute to and benefit the students of Kaunakakai School through volunteering and grant writing,” Fox said.
Jennifer Whitted, the Kaunakakai El-ementary Parent Community Networking Coordinator, is a STEM advocate and Fox said Whitted welcomes those interested in helping with the school.
Afelin said she isn’t finished yet. Be-fore graduating high school early this year, she’s addressing suicide prevention in her senior project and will write grants to pro-vide the necessary facilities. Afelin said she’s working to create a suicide preven-tion group for middle school students. The students will be trained to connect peers to the preventative resources they need. So far, Afelin has been awarded $50 by Area Health Education Center.
“No matter what kind of education you want to pursue, money should never be a barrier for you and there are unlimited funds out there,” Afelin said. “You just have to work your way into taping into to those funds and look at what they are asking for, what you can do with that money and how it applies to your mission.”
manager, said the price is well worth the peace of mind.
An HLF flight can cost about $10,000 and while insurance pays the majority of that cost, a family might be left with a $2,000 co-pay. Perreira said that cost, along with other medical bills, can be over-whelming.
“This is one thing we can help al-leviate to give peace of mind,” she said.
“We’re trying to help out the community.”The $30 membership fee covers all
the patient’s out-of-pocket costs for an emergency flight, according to Perreira.
She added that Molokai has a current membership of more than 700 families.
HLF has 90 staff statewide. The Molokai-based twin engine KingAir air-craft is medically configured and capable of transporting one stretcher patient, two medical attendants and one family mem-ber, according to their website.
In addition to HLF, American Medi-cal Response (AMR) air ambulance service also offers emergency flights on Molokai.

Pacific Islanders in Communication News Release
The half hour documentary film “Fishing Pono: Living In Harmony With The Sea” tells the story of declining fisher-ies and how some Native Hawaiian com-munities are using traditional conservation practices to restore their fishing grounds.
Featuring lifelong fisherman Kelson “Mac” Poepoe, narrated by Kauai native Mauna Kea Trask, and directed by award winning helmer Mary Lambert, “Fishing Pono” follows Trask as he travels to Molo-kai to meet Poepoe and learn how his com-munity based conservation program suc-ceeded.
Poepoe's fishing conservation pro-gram on Molokai, based on historical practices, is an inspiring story of how one community turned the tide on a seemingly doomed resource.
His community based management approach has been recognized throughout world and garnered a number of Lifetime Achievement awards for Poepoe including the 2013 Native Hawaiian Advocate of the Year award from the Native Hawaiian Le-gal Corporation.
“Fishing Pono” has won entry into a number of film festivals including Maui Film Festival, Hawaii International Film Festival, Tahiti International Documentary Film Festival, Bermuda Film Festival, Wild & Scenic Film Festival, and Ft. Lauderdale Film Festivals, among others. It recently
aired on PBS Hawaii. The documentary was produced by
Kauai attorney and filmmaker, Teresa Tico, who was inspired to make the film after reading an article about Poepoe in a Ha-waiian Airlines inflight magazine.
“I was drawn to Mr. Poepoe's story because of the success of his program,” said Tico. “In the beginning, no one wanted to work with him. But over time, he con-vinced the community that they had to take charge of their resources and not wait for government to restore the fishing grounds. His story gives hope to future generations."
“Fishing Pono” was filmed by Hono-lulu cinematographer Mike May on Molo-kai, Kauai and Oahu. Hanalei resident Eddie Abubo was production assistant. SJ Hylton and Tony LeHoven of Kilauea provided the sounding recording. Mi-chelle Harrison of Los Angeles and Shirley Thompson of Honolulu served as editors.
“Fishing Pono” is a co-production of Pacific Islanders in Communication (PIC). Major funding was provided by the Corpo-ration for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

earned two bronze medals. For other Molokai paddlers, this
was their first time at the event. Paoa said she decided to form a
crew of Masters women paddlers who, while they have seen success at state championships, never had the opportu-nity to paddle in the international field. The crew, paddling as Wa`akapaemua, consisted of four Molokai women and three from Kauai, Oahu and Hawaii Is-land. They won gold in the 40s double hull and bronze in the 50s double hull.
The seven women were among the 93 teams from Hawaii in Brazil, said Paoa.
“Our experience was wonderful from start to finish,” she said. “School kids would run to us and wave... I didn’t expect how beautiful, how clean and how friendly the people... I would go again in a minute.”
The Rio event from Aug. 12-17 drew nearly 2,000 paddlers from around the globe.
“Although we all paddled with dif-ferent crews, in the end we all paddle for Team Hawaii,” said Martin. “Our kuleana is to put out the best team that we can for Team Hawaii and win med-als for Hawaii.”

Ho`okako`o and Kualapu`u School News Release
Hawaiian Airlines Founda-tion has awarded a $50,000 grant to Kualapu`u Public Conversion Charter School for two new projects essential to the educational achievement of its students: Project Kuka`Ike STEM Ed-ucation Program and Project Kuaku-pono Student Support Services Pro-gram.
Project Kuka`Ike STEM Educa-tion Program is a school-wide initia-tive to expand STEM education (sci-ence, technology, engineering and math) for students in Kindergarten through sixth grades. According to Sue Forbes, the school’s Math and Sci-ence Curriculum Coordinator, “The goal is to prepare teachers to provide a robust, hands-on STEM education with a focus on the environment and agriculture that the children of Molo-kai can easily relate to, and which sig-nificantly improves their achievement in math and science.”
With the island’s high unemploy-ment and limited resources, and with 84 percent of the school’s student body considered low income, Kualapu`u students and other children on Molo-kai face unique challenges impacting their education. The school’s new Project Kuakupono Student Support Services Program was developed to close gaps in student support services through a coordinated, school-wide continuum of culturally-competent prevention and intervention services, faculty training in student support, and family outreach and community referrals.
“It's a real honor to be one of
Hawaiian Airlines Foundation inau-gural grantees,” says Lydia Trinidad, Kualapu`u Principal. “We feel strong-ly that an early support and inter-vention system helps to build a solid foundation for the future of our chil-dren as they move through the middle and high school ages.
Trinidad added that Hawaiian Airlines’ support makes it possible for the school to enhance the services it can offer to our students and their families during these times of eco-nomic challenges facing our school and our community.
Kualapu`u School serves 330 stu-dents in Pre-K through 6th grade of which 92 percent are of Hawaiian an-cestry and 84 percent are low income. As Molokai’s only accredited elemen-tary school, only charter school, and only elementary Hawaiian language immersion school, Kualapu`u is an in-valuable educational resource for the island’s early learners.
For more information about Kualapu`u School or how to support Project Kuka`Ike STEM Education Program and Project Kuakupono Stu-dent Support Services Program, con-tact David Y. Gibson, Development Director, at (808) 983-3830 or [email protected].
Ho`okako`o Corporation, a non‐profit, charter management organiza-tion and governing school board in Hawaii, operates a network of high quality, Hawaiian-focused charter schools, including Kualapu`u School, serving over 1,500 children in Pre-K through 12th grade from high-need communities on Oahu, Molokai and Hawaii Island.

Farmers Host Canadians
By Mike Kahale, MHS head football coach
On Tuesday, Aug. 19, the Molo-kai community was treated to a football game that had a bit of inter-national flair. The Farmers hosted Holy Trinity Academy from Alber-ta, Canada. A group of 26 athletes made the 3,100 mile trip to Hawaii to play in a pre-season matchup. Both teams agreed to compete in a "controlled" scrimmage format, forgoing any special teams and al-lowing each team to concentrate on offensive and defensive plays. The format also gave each team the op-portunity to substitute three dif-ferent groups, giving everyone a chance to play.
Molokai scored on their first offensive drive with a touchdown pass to Kaimana Kahale. Sopho-more quarterback John-Michael Mokiao-Duvachelle passed for two additional touchdown passes to Willie DelaCruz during the game. Alden Abafo added two more touchdown runs of 20 and 43 yds. The final score ended at 30-6 in
Molokai's favor.We’d like to express our appre-
ciation to the Canadians for making the trip to Molokai. Our athletes hosted the opposing team in their homes for two nights. Relationships were built and friendships made which extend beyond the game of football. This was a great experi-ence for all that were involved.
The next MHS football game is Saturday, Sept. 13 on Lanai. First home game is Saturday, Sept. 27 vs. St. Anthony at 11 a.m.
It's that time of the year again for our Annual Football T-shirt fun-draiser. This year's theme is "Rise Up - E Ho'okanaka.” Order your 2014 design now! It's our biggest fundraiser and has helped our ath-letes suit up, travel to off-island games and continually provides funds to operate a successful Foot-ball Program on Molokai. Athletes will be coming around to ask you to purchase shirts. Please support them. T-shirts are $15 each with an up-charge for XXL ($17) and 3XL ($18).

Butterfly Garden Tiles By Frances Feeter
The butterfly garden at the Molokai Public Library established earlier this year by Chevy Leva-sa received added adornment on Saturday, Aug. 23. Thanks to the hard work of keiki and kupuna of the Molokai Art Center who spent many days creating and decorating the creative and unique tiles, the ce-ramic squares were placed around the butterfly-shaped garden.
Several children were present to lay their tiles around the butter-fly-friendly plants that continue to attract these fluttering friends in the heart of Kaunakakai. Monarchs have been enjoying host and nectar plants of milkweed, cosmos and
crown floor. Small blue butterflies tentatively identified as Hawaiian blues are flitting around the rattle-pod plants.

Molokai residents can learn how to transform scrap lumber into a powerful soil amendment at a Biochar Production Workshop on Friday, Sept. 5. The work-shop will be led by guest speaker Josiah Hunt of Hawaii Biochar Products. Bio-char improves soil by providing habitat for microbial life. It also retains water and sequesters carbon, making it a cool for cli-
mate mitigation. Come to the event at the UH Maui,
Molokai Farm in the Molokai Agricultural Park Sept. 5 from 5 to 8 p.m. For more in-formation, contact the Extension Office at 567-6929. This workshop is sponsored by Makakuoha Cooperative, The Kohala Center, University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resourc-es (UH CTAHR) and UH Maui College.

Omidyar Fellows News Release
M o l o k a i ’ s Emillia Noord-hoek is among 14 exemplary emerging lead-ers selected for the 2014-2015 Omidyar Fel-lows program. The individu-als were cho-
sen to participate in the third cohort of Omidyar Fellows, a leadership de-velopment program that cultivates, trains, and educates local leadership for Hawaii.
"We are pleased to welcome this diverse and inspiring set of emerging leaders to the Omidyar Fellows pro-gram," said Kalei Stern, director of
external relations, Omidyar Fellows. "As they embark on this new profes-sional and personal development jour-ney together, we look forward to the Omidyar Fellows becoming a close, collaborative team of leaders who will improve our state -- and the world -- together."
A program of the Hawaii Leader-ship Forum, Omidyar Fellows features a curriculum tailored to meet the indi-vidual needs of each participant. The 15-month program, which commences in October, includes a full-day session each month, executive coaching, con-versations with community leaders, and more.
The 2014-2015 Omidyar Fellows includes local leaders from a wide range of sectors, including nonprofit, government and business, with rep-resentation from the islands of Oahu,
Hawaii Island and Molokai. Fellows were selected through a rigorous ap-plication and selection progress, in-cluding a written application, phone interview and in-person interview. Selection is based on candidates' expe-rience in both professional and com-munity settings and their commitment and passion to serve as a leader for Hawaii's future.
Noordhoek is the cofounder and the executive director of Sustainable Molokai with responsibilities for or-ganizational management, board rela-tionships, fund development, program planning, and community collabora-tions. Under her leadership, Sustain-able Molokai has become a highly successful and trusted organization featuring programs in energy efficien-cy, food security, and economic devel-opment. Previously, Emillia was the
resource development and marketing director for Molokai Habitat for Hu-manity.
The Omidyar Fellows program launched in 2012 with 13 fellows in its inaugural year. The motivation to create the Omidyar Fellows program originated with Pierre Omidyar, who recognized the desire within the com-munity for transformative learning opportunities. Omidyar is the founder of eBay, and is an active philanthro-pist, as well as CEO and publisher of CivilBeat.com, a Honolulu-based news service dedicated to public affairs and investigative journalism.

entertaInment
ARIES (March 21-April 19): I don't usually do this kind of thing, but I'm going to suggest that you monitor the number six. My hypothesis is that six has been trying to grab your attention, perhaps even in askew or inconvenient ways. Its purpose? To nudge you to tune in to beneficial influences that you have been ignoring. I furthermore suspect that six is an-gling to show you clues about what is both the cause of your unscratchable itch and the cure for that itch. So lighten up and have fun with this absurd mystery, Aries. Without taking it too seriously, allow six to be your weird little teacher. Let it prick your intuition with quirky notions and outlandish specula-tions. If nothing comes of it, there will be no harm done. If it leads you to helpful discoveries, hallelujah.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In English, the rare word "trouvaille" means a lucky find or an unexpected windfall. In French, "trouvaille" can refer to the same thing and even more: something interesting or exceptional that is discovered fortuitously; a fun or enlightening blessing that's generated through the efforts of a vigorous imagination. Of course I can't guarantee that you will experience a trouvaille or two (or even three) in the coming days, Taurus. But the conditions are as ripe as they can be for such a possibility.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The Dutch word epibreren means that even though you are goofing off, you are trying to create the impression that you are hard at work. I wouldn't be totally opposed to you indulging in some major epibreren in the coming days. More importantly, the cosmos won't exact any karmic repercussions for it. I suspect, in fact, that the cosmos is secretly conspiring for you to enjoy more slack and spaciousness that usual. You're overdue to recharge your spiritual and emotional batteries, and that will require extra repose and quietude. If you have to engage in a bit of mas-querade to get the ease you need, so be it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): When James Franco began to learn his craft as an actor, he was young and poor. A gig at McDonald's paid for his acting lessons and allowed him to earn a living. He also used his time on the job as an opportu-nity to build his skills as a performer. While serving customers burgers and fries, he practiced speaking to them in a variety of different accents. Now would be an excellent time for you to adopt a similar strategy, Cancerian. Even if you are not do-ing what you love to do full-time, you can and should take stronger measures to prepare yourself for that day when you will be doing more of what you love to do.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Here are a few of the major com-panies that got their starts in home garages: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Mattel, Amazon, and Disney. Even if you're not in full support of their business practices, you've got to admit that their humble origins didn't limit their ability to become rich and powerful. As I meditate on the long-term astrologi-cal omens, I surmise you are now in a position to launch a project that could follow a similar arc. It would be more modest, of course. I don't foresee you ultimately becoming an international corporation worth billions of dollars. But the success would be bigger than I think you can imagine.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): "I have a hypothesis that ev-eryone is born with the same amount of luck," says cartoonist Scott Adams. "But luck doesn't appear to be spread evenly across a person's life. Some people use up all of their luck early in life. Others start out in bad circumstances and finish strong." How would you assess your own distribution of luck, Virgo? According to my projections, you are in a phase when luck is flowing stronger and deeper than usual. And I bet it will intensify in the coming weeks. I suggest you use it wisely -- which is to say, with flair and aplomb and generosity.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When my daughter Zoe was seven years old, she took horse-back riding lessons with a group of other young aspirants. On the third lesson, their instructor assigned them the task of carrying an egg in a spoon that they clasped in their mouths as they sat facing backwards on a trotting horse. That seemingly improbable task reminds me of what you're working on right now, Libra. Your balancing act isn't quite as demanding, but it is testing you in ways you're not accustomed to. My prognosis: You will master what's required of you faster than the kids at Zoe's horse camp. Every one of them broke at least eight eggs be-fore succeeding. I suspect that three or four attempts will be enough for you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Peter the Great was the Tsar of Russia from 1682 until 1725. Under his rule, his nation be-came a major empire. He also led a cultural revolution that brought modern European-style ideas and influences to Rus-sia. But for our purposes right now, I want to call attention to one of his other accomplishments: The All-Joking, All-Drunk-en Council of Fools and Jesters. It was a club he organized with his allies to ensure there would always be an abundance of parties for him to enjoy. I don't think you need alcohol as an essential part of your own efforts to sustain maximum revelry in the coming weeks, Scorpio. But I do suggest you convene a similar brain trust.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In Roald Dahl's kids' story James and the Giant Peach, 501 seagulls are needed to carry the giant peach from a spot near the Azores all the way across the Atlantic Ocean to New York City. But physics students at the U.K.'s University of Leicester have determined that such a modest contingent wouldn't be nearly enough to achieve a successful airlift. By their calculations, there'd have to be a minimum of 2,425,907 seagulls involved. I urge you to consider the possibility that you, too, will require more power than you have estimated to accomplish your own magic feat. Certainly not almost 5,000 times more, as in the case of the seagulls. Fifteen percent more should be enough. (P.S. I'm al-most positive you can rustle up that extra 15 percent.)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): So far, 53 toys have been inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame. They include crayons, the jump rope, Mr. Potato Head, the yo-yo, the rubber duckie, and dominoes. My favorite inductee -- and the toy that is most symbolically useful to you right now -- is the plain old cardboard box. Of all the world's playthings, it is perhaps the one that requires and activates the most imagination. It can become a fort, a spaceship, a washing machine, a cave, a sub-marine, and many other exotic things. I think you need to be around influences akin to the cardboard box because they are likely to unleash your dormant creativity.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I'm not opposed to you fighting a good fight. It's quite possible you would become smarter and stronger by wrangling with a worthy adversary or struggling against a bad influence. The passion you sum-mon to outwit an obstacle could bestow blessings not only on you but on other people, as well. But here's a big caveat: I hope you will not get embroiled in a showdown with an imaginary foe. I pray that you will refrain from a futile com-bat with a slippery delusion. Choose your battles carefully, Aquarius.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): During the next six weeks, I suggest you regard symbiosis as one of your key themes. Be alert for ways you can cultivate more interesting and intense forms of intimacy. Magnetize yourself to the joys of teamwork and collaboration. Which of your skills and talents are most useful to other people? Which are most likely to inspire your allies to offer you their best skills and talents? I suggest you highlight everything about yourself that is most likely to win you love, appreciation, and help.

Isidro "Tommy" Amante GomesIsidro "Tommy"
Amante Gomes passed away peacefully on his 95th birthday, Mon-day, Aug. 11, 2014, at his home in Kamiloloa, Molokai. He was born
on Aug. 11, 1919, in Cebu, Allegria Prov-ince, Philippines, second child of the late Victor Gomez and Gregoria A. (Doroteo) Larangho.
He and his family moved to Hawaii from the Philippines in the early 1920s. He grew up and went to school in Wa-hiawa, Oahu and moved to Maunaloa, Molokai in the mid-1930s working as a laborer, truck driver and finally a pine-apple harvester operator for pineapple companies, Libby, McNeill & Libby, and Dole. In 1975 he moved his family to Ka-miloloa, worked for Del Monte, drove buses for Mr. Buchanan, and at Atlas
lumber yard. After he retired in the mid-1980s, he enjoyed playing golf and com-munity softball, going fishing, working his yard and garden, and spending time with his family.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Celedonia, brother Jose Gomes, sister Jane Gunn, daughters Junedale (Dan) Barrett, Narda (Lino) Lollis, sons Sidney (Lei) Gomes, and Joel (Corina) Gomes, as well as 16 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
He was loved, liked and respected by all he knew and he touched many lives during his life. He is cherished and will be greatly missed.
Celebration of life services will be held on Saturday, Sept. 13, 2014 in the Kaunakakai Baptist Church; visitation will start at 8 a.m. followed by a service at 10 a.m.

Mo`omomi Beach Clean-up
Grassroots Mahalo Making an Impact
Mahalo to everyone who came out to enjoy a beautiful day at Mo`omomi Beach on Aug. 16. Thanks to Kahi Pacarro, Aaron Char, Pono and Trisha Martin and the rest of the awe-some team from Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii for helping to create the first Mo`omomi Beach Cleanup. The group came from off island pre-pared and did a great job. There was a great turnout and in the end over 7,000 pounds of marine debris was removed from Mo`omomi Beach. Everything was sorted and will be sent to Oahu, most to be recycled.
I would like to say mahalo to Friendly Market for not even thinking twice when I asked for kokua in feeding our volunteers. Jeff helped to provide us with 300 hot dogs that fed our hungry, hard-working vol-unteers. It was great to feel supported by them in doing something good for the com-munity. Most importantly thank you to the people who took time out of their day
to come and help. We appreciate each and every one of you. It was not only about the experiences we had but the friendships and connections we made along the way.
My ohana has been born and raised here and it felt great to be giving back to Mo`omomi, the place that has provided food for us for generations. It was sad to realize just how many tons of trash washes onto our north shore. If you didn't make it out that day, you can still do your part in helping to keep our beaches clean by throwing away your trash when you are enjoying the beach, by re-using, reducing, recycling and learning how harmful plastics are to our environment. Stay tuned for the next beach cleanup. It was the first but certainly not the last.
Mahalo from Wayne, Fina Kaauwai and Ohana

A little late but we would like to thank everyone who touched and made an impact on Mom's/Grandma's life. Special thanks go out to the Tama-nahas -- Rick, Theresa, Hela, Thomas, Todd and Aunty Janet for all of your love, support, and labor. We would have truly been lost without you. A world of appreciation also to the Bri-tos for their love, her Tuesday outings and the sweet potato fries. Althea and Nathalie Childs for their support and love, the staff of Na Pu`uwai for their
nurturing. Hospice, especially Donna and Barbara with the Ho`olehua Fire Department for their unrelenting care. And everyone else too numerous to mention who brightened her life. She was truly blessed. We miss her but take comfort in knowing that Mom/Grandma or Aunty Norma as she was also known is once again with the love of her life and smiling with that little twinkle in her eye.
