E komo mai!

Welcome aboard and thank you for choosing Mokulele! It is our pleasure to serve you wherever your travels are taking you in our beautiful islands.

You may have seen in the news that go! Airlines, which was operated by Mesa Air

Group, recently ceased operations in Hawai‘i, and we’d like to clear up a bit of confusion. This will in no way affect Mokulele’s flight schedules or operations. In 2011, Mokulele’s parent company, TransPac Aviation, purchased Mesa Air Group’s turbo prop division. At that point, go! and Mokulele began operating as two separate airlines, and the code share (reservation) agreement between the two airlines no longer exists. We want to reassure you that we will be here to serve your needs for affordable, efficient interisland travel for many years to come.

In this issue of Island Hopper, you’ll learn about an incredible organization in Maui’s upcountry that trains service dogs to give people with physical disabilities more freedom and independence. Plus, you’ll learn about efforts underway by the Hawai‘i House of Representatives to make our beloved ukulele the official state instrument. We’ll also introduce you to a team of talented young surfers that we’re proud to sponsor. And if you think the views from your Mokulele flight are spectacular, be sure to check out what Big Island Air has to offer on its air tours of Hawai‘i Island.

Enjoy your flight! We look forward to serving your travel needs again in the very near future. Mahalo.

Sincerely,

Ron HansenRon Hansen, President & CEOMokulele Airlines

s the saying goes, a dog is man’s best friend. But when that man (or woman or child) has a disability, a dog can be much more than a friend — it can be a lifeline to independence. That’s why the nonprofit organization

Assistance Dogs of Hawaii (ADH) has made it its mission to provide professionally-trained service dogs to people with physical disabilities to enhance the quality of their lives.

Over the past 10 years, ADH has graduated over 60 service dog teams through its internationally-accredited program. “Most of our clients are paraplegics or quadriplegics,” explains Mo Maurer, the organization’s executive director. “We place the dogs and provide lifetime follow-up support free of charge. The lifetime support is very important because some people’s disabilities progress and change so we want to ensure the success of each team.”

The dogs are trained to perform tasks such as pulling a wheelchair, turning lights on and off, opening doors and retrieving items that are out of reach to help their partners lead more independent lives. The dogs learn more than 90 commands and can even learn to respond to hand signals if their partners are unable to speak. Service dogs can also be trained to go get help if their partner is having a seizure.

“We also place facility dogs like Tucker who works at Kapi‘olani Medical Center and we place court house dogs for children who are victims of crimes to help them through the difficult legal process,” Mo adds. “There are always new ways that dogs can help people in need.”

ADH primarily trains Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers. “Most of our dogs are purchased from the Guide Dog School in Australia,” Mo explains. “We get dogs that come from many generations of working dogs because it takes a specific temperament and they have to pass all kinds of health screenings to become service dogs.” ADH’s rigorous training program takes one to two years, and it has attained an impressive graduation rate of 70 percent in an industry where the national average is about 30 percent.

Like most nonprofits, ADH relies on the support of dedicated volunteers like John Tolbert, who is cluster general manager for the Wailea Beach Marriott Resort & Spa on Maui and the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa on the Big Island. His role is to get the puppies acclimated to being in different social environments. John keeps an ADH puppy as a constant companion, taking it to staff meetings, into the resorts’ restaurants and having it greet guests at receptions. “It’s important for the dogs to have that interaction with a lot of different situations because that’s what they’re going to be doing in real life,” John says. “It’s just like selecting employees. It’s all about setting them up for success. And I have the pleasure of this amazing companionship and the guests love it.”

Since John frequently flies back and forth between Maui and the Big Island, Mokulele has given him permission to bring his puppy-in-training onboard with him. “A lot of the dogs will travel with their partners once they graduate, so it’s really important for them to have that experience,” Mo explains.

Mo stressed the need to protect this public access. “The biggest challenge that our graduates face, especially in the last year or two, is the number of people that are misrepresenting their pets as service dogs. They’re really endangering those people who need their dogs in public.” She shared the story of a client who is blind and in a wheelchair. Her service dog named Freedom was attacked in a restaurant by a dog that was being misrepresented as a service dog, and in that one tragic moment, the woman lost all of her independence. She was so traumatized by the incident that she was afraid to go out in public again. It’s against the law to misrepresent a dog as a service animal and it carries a $1,000 fine.

To learn more about the amazing work that Mo and her team do at ADH’s facility in Maui’s upcountry, visit www.assistancedogshawaii.org and be sure to watch their very inspirational video, Unleashing Abilities.

s the oldest air tour company in the state of Hawai‘i, Kona-based Big Island Air has been offering air tours of Hawai‘i Island’s spectacular, varied terrain for over 30 years. In 2013, pilot Steve Lupkey purchased the

company and now, as its owner and president, he has made some big changes to Big Island Air.

Steve just acquired a brand new, state-of-the-art Cessna Grand Caravan EX aircraft for his tour business. “We now have the most advanced tour aircraft in the state of Hawai‘i and within the country, as well,” explains Steve. “It’s a really high-tech airplane. Not only is the equipment in the aircraft itself state-of-the art in terms of safety and technology, but the passenger seating is literally first class.”

Prior to the plane’s arrival in Hawai‘i, Steve worked with California aviation artist John Stahr to develop a Hawaiian-themed design for its exterior. This talented artist was able to bring the design concept Steve envisioned to reality, and the Cessna Grand Caravan EX has now been totally transformed with depictions of a volcano, the ocean, a humpback whale and other sea creatures. Portraits of Madame Pele, the island’s legendary goddess of fire, and a beautiful hula girl appear on the plane’s tail. “It just came out unbelievably fantastic,” Steve says. “We’ve been getting rave reviews over the paint job on this plane.” The new Cessna was put into service on February 28 after receiving a traditional Hawaiian blessing from Kahu Danny Akaka.

Visitors to the Big Island have a choice of four air tours on Big Island Air. One of the most comprehensive tours is the Circle Island Tour, where over the course of approximately one hour and 45 minutes, passengers are treated to a bird’s eye view of a wide variety of breathtaking sights — the eruptions of Kilauea volcano, black sand beaches, towering sea cliffs, waterfalls, rainforests and

A

ancient valleys. The Sunset Tour is another full circle island air tour, but the difference is that this flight passes over Kilauea just as the sun is setting behind Mauna Loa. According to Big Island Air, the twilight conditions make for optimal viewing of the red hot, 2,200-degree molten lava flow below. “The big thing that everybody wants to do on an air tour is go over Kilauea,” Steve says.

The Hilo Volcano and Falls Adventure offers passengers a 50-minute tour of Kilauea and the tropical rainforests and waterfalls of the Hilo side of the island. The company’s fourth tour, Waterfalls and Whales, also lasts about 50 minutes and is offered during whale watching season from November through April.

Every seat on Big Island Air’s new nine-passenger aircraft is a spacious window seat. “Each of our passengers has their own ‘picture window’ for viewing because the Caravan has great big windows,” Steve explains. “They provide for excellent viewing and an excellent tour.” The tours are narrated by pilots who are well versed in the history, culture and geology of the Big Island which is so diverse, it has 11 of the world’s 13 climate zones.

Steve is extremely happy that he made the decision to purchase Big Island Air. “I’ve been a pilot for 40 years and I did everything else I’ve done in my life to be able to do what I want to do now,” he says. “This is not work. I’m living my dream right now.”

hen young surfers have dreams of going pro, they need to be able to compete in their age group as often as they can. If they live somewhere like California or Florida,

they can drive to their local competitions, but in Hawai‘i, the next contest is often on another island. So Mokulele sponsors a youth surf team to make it possible for these kids to “island hop” to compete in surfing competitions throughout the state.

“Mokulele is helping these kids out with their flights to take a heavy load off of their parents’ wallets,” explains Jeromy Hansen who founded the program and serves as surf team manager. “These kids already have sponsors for clothing, shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen and surfboards, and now they have an airline! They’re all super stoked about being sponsored by the airline. They’re all really grateful and they know they’re privileged to be on a surf team.” These sponsorships help make it possible for the young surfers to compete against their counterparts from other islands in contests hosted by the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA), Hawaii Surfing Association (HSA), clothing manufacturer Volcom, Maui surf pro Ian Walsh and others.

“We currently have a surf team of 15 amazing boys and girls from 9 to 16 years old,” Jeromy continues. The team’s current roster includes Kahanu Delovio, Brodi Sale and Luke Heflin from Kona and Mahaina Maeda and Keanu Taylor from O‘ahu. Also on the team are Maui residents Tony Nunez, Eli Hanneman, Ocean Macedo, Summer Macedo, Aloha Lopez, Dante Silva, Sierra Larsen, Kala Willard, Cody Young and Malik Hurdman.

To be on the team, the surfers have to maintain a 3.0 grade point average, because, as Jeromy explains, “school is more important than surfing.” He says this is not a problem, though, because this is a group of really bright kids. “They travel to all of these contests and they can’t miss that much school, so a lot of them do independent study at home.”

The team recently competed at the NSSA state championships at Kewalo Basin on O‘ahu where Brodi Sale earned the state championship title in two categories — boys 11 and under and boys 14 and under. Congratulations to Brodi and to all of the members of the Mokulele team!

Jeromy, who is the son of Mokulele’s CEO Ron Hansen, explained why he felt compelled to start the youth surf program. “I have always been a surfer. I have a strong passion for the sport. I spent 13 years as the owner of multiple surf shops in San Clemente, California. Now I’m blessed and lucky enough to have my Dad and his marketing team as well as our employees be involved to help out with these young kids. I love giving back to the community and it’s so great to hang out with these young individuals one-on-one as they grow.”

He is justifiably proud of these young surfers and all they have accomplished. ”Our surf team ‘ohana is now island-wide from Kona to Maui to O‘ahu, so if you run into our team riders, throw them a shaka and a big smile and you’ll surely get the same in return!”

exas plucked the guitar as its state instrument. Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and South Dakota grabbed the fiddle, and Louisiana has its Cajun squeezebox, so it’s about time that Hawai‘i also had its own official instrument. That’s

why Hawaii’s House of Representatives recently proposed House Bill 2573 which includes the following wording:

“Young and old, from the living to the legends, the ukulele has inspired musicians, recruited supporters and included fans with its beautiful sound and the camaraderie built from an impromptu jam session... in honor of our talented ukulele instructors and musicians throughout our islands and the world, and our future ukulele artists, we would like to honor this truly amazing musical instrument and its history in Hawai‘i by proclaiming it the State Instrument.”

Chris Kamaka is production manager for Kamaka Hawaii, Inc., a Honolulu-based family business that has been handcrafting quality ukuleles since 1916. He shared his thoughts on having the ukulele named as the official state instrument. “It’s great, but maybe I’m a little biased,” he laughs. “It would be a nice recognition for the instrument.” He credits the ukulele’s widespread popularity to its simplicity. “It’s not very difficult to learn. It’s a good sounding instrument and fun to play.” Plus, as he notes, “It’s easy to carry around. You can take it wherever you want to go. It’s not like hauling an upright bass around all the time!”

Maui filmmaker and promoter Kenneth Martinez Burgmaier has produced over 50 music and film festivals in Hawai‘i over the past 15 years, and Mokulele is proud to be a sponsor of these local events. He always includes ukulele performances in his music festivals, even when the focus is on another music genre, such as at his upcoming Third Annual Big Island Jazz and Blues Festival on June 5-8 at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel on the Kohala Coast. “(Na Hoku award winner) Benny Uyetake will be doing some jazz ukulele for us along with some jazz and blues legends from New Orleans and Steve Turre, the trombonist from the Saturday Night Live Band,” he explains. “The ukulele is that diverse.” For more information, visit www.bigislandjazzandbluesfestival.com.

Ken often offers free ukulele workshops at his festivals. “In February, we had our Lana‘i Film Festival and we did a ukulele workshop that Benny Uyetake taught, and tourists

who had no idea how to play a ukulele when they walked in, walked out of the workshop after an hour playing a song. You wouldn’t believe the number of people who go and buy a ukulele and take it home with them.” Ken says that he likes to give back to the community at his festivals, and that Kamaka Hawaii has generously donated ukuleles to give to young, up-and-coming musicians.

Kamaka ukuleles are crafted from Big Island koa wood. “We air dry it, which is the same way my dad and my grandpa used to do it,” Chris explains. “It’s just a slow, natural drying process that can take anywhere from a few years to even more.” The company manufactures hundreds of ukuleles each month to meet the growing worldwide demand.

Ken says that the sound of the ukulele is often the first musical experience many visitors have when they come to Hawai‘i. “Sheldon Brown, who plays at all my festivals, is also a Na Hoku winner. When you get off the plane at the Maui airport in Kahlului, he’s often down there playing the ukulele when you’re coming down the escalator.”

Regardless of whether H.B. 2573 is enacted into law, one thing is for certain. There will be no shortage of ukulele enthusiasts in the future. “The ukulele is the first musical experience that any child born and raised here has,” Ken explains. “We kind of make a joke out of it that it’s an unwritten law that the first instrument kids have to learn to play is the ukulele.”
