This month’s keiki cover model is Myrei Nora Ho‘omaluinapoliokanoelani Steibel.
Myrei is eight years old, and attends Kamali‘i Elementary School in the third grade. Mom is Chantel Franco, reservations agent at Fairmont Kea Lani Resort in Wailea, and dad works at Commercial Plumbing Inc.
Myrei dances Tahitian for Te Ohi Nui, and some of her favorite things to do are play with her pet bunny named Pepper, and explore tidepools and comb the beach for seashells.
Mom shares, “Myrei is in everything that I do. I pocket her sweet smile and take it everywhere I go; she makes my life so much better!”
With what is arguably the most intriguing restaurant concept to hit the Maui dining scene in recent memory, beloved Chef Sheldon Simeon opened Lineage at The Shops at Wailea on October 15 to rave reviews. The highly anticipated restaurant draws on Sheldon’s experiences and memories of growing up on the Big Island, and the many cultures and cuisines that comprise the unique melting pot that is Hawai‘i. Featuring Simeon family recipes as the menu’s foundation, Lineage celebrates the food of Sheldon’s Filipino ancestors, as well as of a life growing up in the Islands. A handful of dishes also honor and acknowledge the family recipes from some of Sheldon’s kitchen staff. With the motto “Eat, Drink, Talk Story,” Lineage celebrates the importance of keeping tradition alive, and the passing down of recipes between generations of families. 
Fourteen years ago, Maui physical therapist Michael Malaczewski saw a need to assist patients who had been injured or fallen ill on their trip to Maui. He had a client who needed his help and he flew with them to the mainland handling everything from start to finish. This need soon became MM Medical Transport, a business that he started to focus on providing safe transportation from the island of Maui for clients who needed help getting home.
