2 TM C A message from Ron Hansen, CEO of Mokulele Airlines E komo mai! Thank you for choosing Mokulele! We work hard at being the best little airline in the world, and thanks to our loyal passengers, we re continuing to grow. We re especially proud to announce that on September 21, we will begin daily service from Waimea-Kohala Airport on the Big Island to Kahului Airport on Maui, with connections available to Honolulu. We ve also added four new Cessna Caravans to our fleet in recent months. We re happy to say that we now have more than 50 pilots who operate over 115 flights per day to our eight destinations on five islands. Our goal is to design our flight schedules for the maximum convenience of our passengers. Our Kapalua to Lana i route, for example, makes it easy for golfers to make a day trip to get in a few extra rounds, and those who need to travel between Kahului and Lana i for business can easily make the round trip in the same day. In this issue of Island Hopper, you ll learn about a group of women whose fierce determination paved the way for 35 years of success in outrigger canoe racing. We know you ll be equally inspired by the story of a local organization that has made the love of reading positively contagious for our schoolchildren and their families. Plus, we ll show you many of the great things there are to do in our beautiful new destination, Waimea. Enjoy your flight! It is our pleasure to have you on board and we look forward to serving you often as you travel throughout our beautiful islands.

5 WOMEN of THE SEA The Na Wahine O Ke Kai Canoe Race Celebrates its 35th Anniversary BY KAREN BROST Images courtesy of Ocean Paddler TV The Kaiwi Channel, which spans between Moloka i and O ahu, is legendary for being one of the most challenging channels in the world to cross, due to its unpredictable combination of strong winds, strong currents and large swells. In 1952, a group of men successfully raced their outrigger canoes across these turbulent waters. Two years later, a group of women wanted to launch their own race, but officials wouldn t allow it. To this day, I still believe the women were strong enough to do it, explains one of those pioneering women, Hannie Anderson. The dream never left me since 1954, and the women who came after me had the same dream. That dream finally came true in 1979 when Hannie banded with other female paddlers to organize the first women s canoe race across the Kaiwi Channel. That 42-mile race, which they named Na Wahine O Ke Kai (Women of the Sea), will celebrate 6 I mokuleleairlines.com Issue 5 I 7

6 Not too many people realize that outrigger canoeing is the state sport. - Hannie Anderson, Race Director its 35th anniversary on September 22. I never thought I d still be here 35 years later, still being race director, she muses. This race is very important to all of us because it is the grand champion of canoe racing, Hannie says. Everybody wants to get into the race because they have to challenge the unpredictable Kaiwi Channel. The channel is never the same. Every year is different. The race, which begins at 8:00 a.m. at Hale O Lono Harbor on Moloka i and ends at Duke Kahanamoku Beach in Waikiki, draws paddlers from all over the world. For this year s event, Hannie and her committee (Haunani Olds, Carleen Ornellas, Rose Lum, Shelley Gilman and Carol Young) are expecting between 85 and 90 crews (900 to 1,000 paddlers). The fastest teams can reach O ahu in about five and a half hours, and others may take up to eight hours. For many, it s an all-out competition for first place. For others, it s the thrill of accomplishment. As Hannie explains, They ll say, We did it! We conquered the channel! That s why people keep coming back to do it. They know it s a hard race. Hannie encourages everyone to come out on September 22 to cheer on the arriving teams. Not too many people realize that outrigger canoeing is the state sport, she says. She explained that spectators usually start gathering in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village at around 1:00 p.m. and that many people also watch the race from Diamond Head. This year, as she has done every year, Hannie will bring all of the paddlers together at the beginning of the race for the pule, the Hawaiian chants and blessings. The women are all holding hands and hugging each other, she describes. This brings out a lot of aloha between them. The team next to you could be from Guam, Japan, Hong Kong. You never know. I get up there and there has never a time during the chant that I ever, ever did not cry. The tears just roll down my face. I love every single one of these women. I cannot express how much aloha I have for this race. 8 I mokuleleairlines.com Would you rather be HERE? OR HERE? Escape from it all and come to Molokai. With its quaint beaches, lush tropical rainforest, and 28 miles of barrier reef, not to mention no crowds, no traffic or stop lights, Molokai is truly the vacation you are looking for.

7 Read Me Families Develop Closer Bonds Thanks to Read Aloud America BY KAREN BROST IMAGES COURTESY OF Chris Rhoades of Rhoades Productions a Story! W hen former California school administrators Joanne and Larry Laird retired to Maui about ten years ago, they envisioned a carefree life on the beach. But luckily for many Hawai i families, they eventually decided they needed an encore career. Today, the Lairds serve as co-program directors of Read Aloud America, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting literacy and helping families bond through the fun of reading and being read to. Family bonding really has changed, Joanne says. We need to sit together and be together and read to our kids and let them talk to us. That goes away so often in this world with all the screen devices and technology. Read Aloud America, which was founded in 1995 by Jed Gaines, addresses those concerns by bringing parents and kids together for a series of fun-filled reading events at their public or private schools. To date, the organization has served more than 300,000 adults and children at over 80 public schools in Hawai i and is proud to announce that it will be bringing the program to Hana for the first time in September. Each evening of the six-session program begins with some unstructured family time. Then, the fun begins, Joanne explains. For 20 minutes, the presenter is doing trivia questions, throwing out Frisbees and mini-footballs and getting the kids excited. After that, she says, the kids are divided into groups by age level and escorted to classrooms where volunteers will read to them. The parents stay in the cafeteria for a discussion about why family bonding time is so important. We tell them, Your kids will be gone before you know it. Don t lose this time. It s only minutes a night and it s so special. Then we read aloud to the parents (usually books by Hawaiian authors), and believe me, you can hear a pin drop. 10 I mokuleleairlines.com Issue 5 I 11

8 behavior and parents say it changes their kids behavior at home when they spend more time with them, Joanne says. That s the power of a story and being a family again. One parent told Joanne, I got out of prison three weeks ago and I m back with my family. Reading kept me alive when I was in prison, and now I know if I read to my daughter, she won t end up like me. Like most nonprofits, Read Aloud America is always in need of sponsors, whether it s for donations of raffle prizes or direct financial support. Mokulele is proud to be a sponsor of this dedicated organization that does so much for Hawai i s families. The program s popularity has made the Lairds local celebrities. Joanne says, Larry and I cannot go anywhere on this island without kids saying, Aunty, when are you coming back to my school? Why aren t you here every week? It s like somebody let all the stress go away. These parents just sit back and relax and enjoy being read to. Then, Joanne laughs, you can hear all of the kids coming back. They sound like a herd of elephants! Dinner, usually pizza, is served, and for the last 15 minutes of the program we give out ten grand prizes. We end the evening on a big high, and with every grand prize, they get a brand new book. In three of the six sessions, kids also get to pick out a book to take home. During the weeks off, Teachers say it changes the kids classroom behavior and parents say it changes their kids behavior at home when they spend more time with them. we encourage parents to take their kids to the library. We tell them it s the best deal in town. The feedback the Read Aloud program receives speaks volumes about its success. Teachers say it changes the kids classroom 12 I mokuleleairlines.com

9 The Wonders Wai mea of Cowboys, Constellations, Cuisine and More BY KAREN BROST Images courtesy of Forever Young Images, Waimea & Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA)/Tor Johnson W hether you call it Waimea or you prefer the name Kamuela, it s about to get easier to travel to and from this area now that Mokulele is launching daily service from Waimea-Kohala Airport to Maui s Kahului Airport. So we thought this would be the perfect time explore the wonders of this scenic area located east of the Big Island s Kohala Coast. Our new service will begin on September 21, the same day as Waimea s Paniolo Parade and Ho olaule a. Waimea is paniolo (cowboy) country and this event, which is part of the month-long Hawai i Island Festival, celebrates that heritage with a colorful parade of princesses on horseback decorated with the flowers of their respective islands. The parade will begin at 10:00 a.m. at Church Row and proceed to Waimea Park where a ho olaule a (celebration) will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., complete with Hawaiian food, games, music, arts and crafts. Best of all, admission to this family-friendly event is free. Waimea is also home to the 130,000-acre Parker Ranch, the ninth largest cow and calf operation in the U.S. The ranch, which hosts many community events, dates back to A good way to learn more about the ranch s fascinating history is to take a free, self-guided tour of the two historic homes on the ranch. Pu uopelu, an elegant, 8,000 square foot Victorian home, is filled with works of art by such masters as Renoir and Degas. The other home, Mana Hale, is a New England-style saltbox constructed from native koa wood. Another way to experience life on the range in Waimea is to visit the 8,500-acre Kahua Ranch located on the western slope of the Kohala Mountains. The ranch offers a choice of activities, including guided ATV adventures, horseback riding and sunset barbeque dinners. It s also easy for visitors to the Waimea area to get stars in their eyes. The summit of Mauna Kea, which towers 13,796 feet above 14 I mokuleleairlines.com Issue 5 I 15

10 the Big Island, is prized for its exceptionally clear, dark nighttime skies. It is home to the world s largest astronomical observatory that contains telescopes operated by eleven countries. The Mauna Kea Visitor Information Station, located at the 9,300 foot level, offers a free nightly stargazing program. It begins with a showing of a PBS Hawaii documentary called First Light, which highlights the astronomical and cultural history of the mountain. Participants then move outside to the lanai for a star tour with the aid of several telescopes and Since Mauna Kea is located so close to the equator, stargazers can enjoy amazing views of both the northern and southern hemispheres. experts who will point out star clusters, nebulae, planets and other wonders of the night sky. Since Mauna Kea is located so close to the equator, stargazers can enjoy amazing views of both the northern and southern hemispheres. Of course, with all of that fresh mountain air, it s easy to work up an appetite, and Waimea is also home to Merriman s Restaurant operated by Chef Peter Merriman. He is one of the pioneers of Hawai i Regional Cuisine which blends ethnic influences with fresh, local ingredients. Merriman s prides itself on supporting local farmers by incorporating their coffee, produce, fish and meats into its menus. Another way to enjoy the wonders of the Waimea area is to take a relaxing drive through the country. The Kohala Mountain Road, Highway 250, leads north from Waimea to the quaint town of Hawi with its charming shops and galleries. If you go, be sure to continue on east on Highway 270 to take in the spectacular views of the Pololu Valley. 16 I mokuleleairlines.com Issue 5 I 17

11 Maui s Sibling Surfing Sensations Ocean and Summer Macedo Stack Up the Wins BY KAREN BROST. Photos by Jimme Hepp L ahaina resident Summer Macedo and her younger brother Ocean share a love of surfing that is really taking them places. In March, the siblings entered the 10th Annual Ian Walsh Menehune Mayhem competition on Maui where Summer took first place in the girls age group, and Ocean took first in the boys ages category. Right after that, they flew to O ahu to compete in the 2013 Hawai i Regional championships at Kewalos, where they both competed in tough heats. Ocean ranked fourth in the Explorer Super Grom division, and he walked away with a big prize: the Keanu Asing Golden Ticket to nationals. And all of this happened in one weekend! Then in late April, Summer won the Hawai i Surfing Association State Championship in her age group at the Ala Moana Bowls. Let s fast forward to June when Summer won three titles in one week: two at the Hurley at the Harbor competition in Lahaina and first place in the girls shortboard division at the 10th Annual Pohai Na Keiki Nalu (Gathering of the Surf Kids) competition at Launiupoko Park. Later that month, the siblings headed to California for back-to-back competitions. First came the Surfing America USA Championships at Lower Trestles where Summer placed third. Next, they competed at Huntington Beach in the National Scholastic Surfing Association National Competition where, once again, they walked away winners. Ocean placed fourth in the Explorer Super Groms (10 and under) division and Summer received a special honor, the Heart and Soul Award inspired by Bethany Hamilton. It s been a busy year for the Macedos and we can t wait to see where their surfing talents take them next. Mokulele is proud to play a role in helping their surfing careers take flight. 18 I mokuleleairlines.com

12 Congratulations to the Waimea Wranglers on their Championship Win! BY KAREN BROST. Photos by Brad Ballesteros Wranglers Team Photo Battle of the Islands Anya, Professor, Notorious & Agony Sadie Mae Gutz If you traveled on Mokulele a few months ago, you may have read our feature on the Waimea Wranglers women s roller derby team. The team was formed by Lisa Fejeran (a.k.a. Sadie Mae Gutz ) and Tiara Anderson (a.k.a. Chewy Up ). At the time, many people expected them to fail because they thought that the population of Waimea was way too small to form a good team. Boy, were they wrong. We re happy to report that the Wranglers competed in the 2013 Battle of the Islands on Maui in June and won the B Division Championship! The first day of the tournament they beat the Maui Owies in the exhibition bout, followed the next day by wins over the Aloha City Knockouts and Bizznass to take the championship. It felt great, says team spokesperson Bambi Lau (a.k.a. Booty Bamz ). We were laughing, smiling, yelling and crying at the same time. We proved to ourselves that hard work, teamwork and commitment pays off, and we are all determined to keep learning more about this sport which we are all addicted to. We re currently training for the next Battle of the Islands which we will be competing in on September 6 and 7 this year in Kaua i. Congratulations, Wranglers! We re proud to be one of your sponsors! 20 I mokuleleairlines.com
