READER FEEDBACK BY READERS LIKE YOU

PICKING ON PICKS Overall I love the mag and read it practically cover to cover every week. I especially like Anu [Yagi]. However, I wanted to put in my two cents regarding “This week’s picks.” I’m not crazy about the new format. I like to see at a glance what’s up and then decide if I want to read the details. In the new format I have to dig for the event by reading some obscure comments about it first. If I choose not to read the entire page sometimes I miss things I would have enjoyed. Thanks for what you do.

LANE LESSON Totally agree IF the driver is travelling at a significantly lower rate of speed than the posted limit (Eh Brah, Nov. 24, 2011). But if a driver is already doing the limit or better, and coming up on a left turn, it would be more dangerous to make two lane changes; one to let others go by, and another to make the approaching turn.

-Safe Driver, via Mauifeed.com

DON’T CRY FOR MOLOKAI You wrote, “But don’t worry about Nicholas. ‘He will continue to oversee GuocoLeisure’s investment in Fiji,’ PBN reported” (Coconut Wireless, Nov. 24, 2011). Don’t worry about Molokai either, the island was very clear in it’s rejection about MPL plans for La‘au Point and knew full well that the MPL would leave the island if they could not find a way to make a profit on their business. The plan was rejected, MPL left. Don’t feel sorry for Molokai, it’s what most folks wanted. Don’t demonize Nicholas or MPL; that is just a cheap shot.

ELECTRIFYING THOUGHT I would like to comment on your article

this week about Maui and electric cars (Mauisphere, Nov. 17, 2011). My name is Jason King. You guys did a piece on me several months back. I imported the first electric car to Maui (a Chevy Volt) and I power it with solar power. As far as I can tell, it’s the worlds first solar powered car. While I agree that Maui clearly needs many more electric cars, I do not agree that we should be focused on installing grid-tied charging stations everywhere. If you buy an electric car and power it from the grid, that power is coming mostly from giant diesel-fueled generators in Wailuku. And much of the power is lost in the transmission. Where is the benefit there? I have shown that the answer is solar powered cars. And we are blessed with such an abundance of sun on Maui, it’s ideal. My Volt has gone 6,000 miles on three gallons of gas. That’s 2000 mpg! The rest is all from the sun! Nine panels produce enough power for my driving needs. Nine panels are under $7k. That’s two years worth of what I would have spent on gas. We should be focused on this path, not powering out EV’s with diesel fuel being burned across the island!

BRIDGE STILL OUT Thanks for your coverage of the Swinging Bridges trail closure (“Requiem for a Stream,” Sept. 22, 2011). The week before your big story came out a friend and I went to S.B. to go geocaching. There’s a cache called “Chinamen’s Bridge” hidden in that area, now off-limits. We were surprised and confused to find the gate locked and covered with forbidding signs. Since my friend was visiting from Oahu it was a bit of a bummer. I’ve had some nice hikes there in the past and the bridges certainly make this one of Maui’s most unique trails. Hopefully public pressure can get this spot reopened.

Georgia O’Keeffe’s Hawai'i

A new, locally published book masterfully chronicles a revolutionary artist’s visit to Maui BY ANU YAGI

roverbs about first impressions rarely account for the weight of the reputations which may precede them. In the case of famed modern artist Georgia O’Keeffe, that reputation was “she can be difficult.” In the milieu of affluent, polite plantation society in early 20th century Hawaii, the words “she can be difficult” take on nervous weight–particularly when they preface the charge of hosting a highly regarded artist during her historic time spent on Maui in 1939. And so these words head the first section of Patricia Jennings’ remembrances of O’Keeffe, in the new book Georgia O’Keeffe’s Hawai'i; published by Kihei’s own Koa Books (the only publishing house on the isle) and written by Jennings with Maria Ausherman, with an introduction by Jennifer Saville. Jennings, the daughter of Willis (and Marie) Jennings, manager of Hana’s Ka’eleku Sugar Plantation, was O’Keeffe’s personal guide through Maui–and at the time had but twelve tender years to her credit. “The first thing I saw was her dark hair pulled tightly in a bun. Then I noticed her sunken eyes, her long narrow nose, and the deep creases between her eyebrows,” writes Jennings. “Her skin looked nearly brown, and even her blouse and skirt were tan and brown. Her face was expressionless, and she didn’t say a word.” This stern imagery of O’Keeffe, though obviously not unprecedented and certainly not absolute, stands in stark contrast to her nonpareil work. Her large-format paintings–most famously of magnified flora–are compellingly bright and boldly hyper-feminine, and from the onset were heralded as revolutionary. But in the way that even lifegiving light would lack interest without its shadowy compliment (after all, every color we perceive is but every other color we don’t), such honest insight into human disposition is what makes words worth reading. So in this way, among many, Georgia O’Keeffe’s Hawai’i masterfully contextualizes a mercurial woman whose art changed the world. Further still, with its focus on O’Keeffe’s time spent specifically on Maui with young Jennings, the book presents unmistakable value to the lexicon of modern Hawaiian history. Jennings, who is now 85, chronicles her time with O’Keeffe with candid eloquence and sharp detail. Anyone who’s had a love-affair with the islands, notwith-

standing O’Keeffe, will surely find that its pages melodically strum their heartstrings by painting a picture of a bygone Hawaiian era–unwittingly on the eve of World War II– through a prettily privileged lens unique in all the Earth. But back to how “she can be difficult.” An opinionated, assertive woman in an American time still unaccustomed to such disposition, O’Keeffe’s confidence was largely rooted in her renown. On a professional level, one crucial thread to this story plays through fascinatingly. O’Keeffe had traveled from New York to Hawaii at the behest of Dole Pineapple Company, commissioned to paint two commercial artworks. “By the 1930s, corporate recognition of the selling appeal fine art as a marketing tool led to an unprecedented level of cooperation between artists and advertisers,” writes Saville. “N.W. Ayer & Son [Dole advertising agency], as much as any other ad agency, fostered this strategy, and Charles Coiner, an art director for the company... selected upscale images for educated and sophisticated readers of 'class'... believing that even if 'they [were] not already familiar with the artist, [they suspected] they should be.'” Though “O’Keeffe was no stranger to commercial art,” she “adopted an elitist attitude toward the fine arts.” Saville quotes O’Keeffe as having said (to her sister, in 1924), “A large proportion of the people who think they want to be Artists of one kind or another finally become commercial artists–and the work they send out into the world is a prostitution off some really creative phase of Art.” But “after some convincing,” O’Keeffe revised her position and accepted Dole’s offer. The nine weeks she spent in Hawaii resulted in 20 works, first exhibited in New York in 1940, of which the New York WorldTelegram said, “Her pictures always brilliant and exciting, admit us to a world that is alien and strange.” Since then, the full collection of O’Keeffe’s Hawaii paintings have only been exhibited once more, 50 years later, Honolulu in 1990 (curated by Saville). Only half of the works are in museums, while the other half are in private collections. “Although she had been busy painting in Hawai'i,” writes Saville, after a series of difficulties–including an incident with a pineapple that left O’Keeffe “disgusted”–“her obligation to present the Dole Company with two canvases remained unfulfilled.” To make matters worse, O’Keeffe became wrought with illness. (But O’Keeffe “expressed her delight with Hawai'i and con-

tradicted the popular belief that her trip catalyzed her infirmity.” Meanwhile her husband, famed photographer Alfred Stieglitz, said “The irony of it all is that everybody feels that her work is better and healthier.” And of the exhibition, he reported, “Many believe it to be a health-giving one to all coming to the place.”) More than six months after her arrival in Hawaii, O’Keeffe “submitted depictions of a papaya tree and the spiky blossom of a lobster’s claw heliconia.” Needless to say, this was not what the Dole Pineapple Company had in mind–especially as their primary competitor was papaya juice. (But with a little clever ad writing–Hospitable Hawaii cannot send you its abundance of flowers or its sunshine. But it it sends you something reminiscent of both–golden fragrant Dole Pineapple Juice”–Heliconia was placed in marketing which ran nationally in pubs like Vogue and the Saturday Evening Post.) But “[t]actful Art Director Charles Coin-

er,” as Time Magazine reported in 1940, “spouted to Painter O’Keeffe about the beauty of pineapples in bud, urg[ing] her to give the pineapple a break. He phoned Honolulu, had a budding plant put aboard the Clipper. Thirty-six hours later the plant was delivered to the O’Keeffe studio in Manhattan. “It’s beautiful, I never knew that,” exclaimed Artist O’Keeffe... She promptly painted it, and Dole got a pineapple picture after all.” Georgia O’Keeffe’s Hawai'i is a fine addition to the library of any lover of local lit. It’s available in hardcover ($35) or paperback ($20), and includes reproductions of O’Keeffe’s Hawaii paintings, 50 period photos, her letters from Maui and other correspondence.

Talk of the Island

BY ANTHONY PIGNATARO

ABERCROMBIE FINALLY NAMES NAMES An old rule of public relations is to save bad news releases for Fridays, when people are usually thinking more about weekends and less about government affairs. Apparently, Attorney General David Louie’s people thought even Friday was too dangerous, so they waited until Saturday, Nov. 26 to comply with Judge Karl Sakamoto’s Nov. 14 ruling (in response to a lawsuit filed by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser) that Governor Neil Abercrombie had to make public the names of everyone he’s nominated for judgeships since taking office. To say that Abercrombie finds the ruling loathsome is an understatement. Indeed, the press release attached to the Saturday list of names makes clear that Abercrombie is only doing this because the state Judicial Selection Commission has already released the names.

What a big mouth. “The Governor has consistently maintained that the controlling legal authority for the release of such lists was the Judicial Selection Commission’s rule of confidentiality,” stated the news release from Louie’s office. “However, in light of the changed circumstances with the Commission’s actions, judicial applicants will no longer have any expectation of confidentiality. Consequently, the following lists are now being released.” Had Abercrombie simply handed over the list of candidates when he made his nomination, this column probably wouldn’t have given a damn. But because Abercrombie insisted on playing the “special exemption” card (one not used by former Governors Linda Lingle and Ben Cayetano), and waited 12 days to comply with a court ruling, to say nothing of behaving as though openness and public disclosure were mere buzzwords–always to be uttered, never to be enforced–it became mandatory for us to comment upon the whole deal. For instance, does it really harm current District Court Judge Kelsey T. Kawano now that the public knows he was on the Second Circuit Court Judge list (fellow

District Court Judge Rhonda I. L. Loo ultmately got the nod after Wailuku attorney Joseph L. Wildman bailed following revelations of unpaid tax bills). How about local attorneys Mimi DesJardins, Douglas J. Sameshima (both of whom appeared on a district court nomination list last week) or David M. Jorgensen? Are their careers over now that we all know Abercrombie put forward their names as possible judges? Abercombie has been in government a long time. Picking the right battle to fight is a lesson he should have learned a long time ago.

SUPERFERRY GOES TO NAVY? It took longer than World War II, but the long battle for the United States Navy finally seems to be drawing to a close. Like all great battles, there was close-in fighting, gutsy heroism and tragic casualties. Fortune could easily have favored the adversary. But now, we are at the end. Finally, we’re going to get an answer to the question everyone’s been asking for the last few years: Whatever will become of the Hawaii Superferries? The Navy gets them. It’s not a done-deal yet, but look for the decision in the next few weeks. This hardly surprising conclusion (pretty much a cliche by this point) caps, what, six years of turmoil over those ships? Isn’t this basically how superferry opponents said it would turn out? “[A] future military role for the Hawaii Superferry (especially given the identity of its ownership and management) seems more plausible than not,” wrote Koohan Paik and Jerry Mander in the 2009 book The Superferry Chronicles (published by Kihei-based Koa Books!). Hello! The design, dimensions, performance, capabilities and even mission of the Hawaii Superferry always mimicked the Navy’s Joint High Speed Vessel program–vessels which are taking to the wa-

Welcome on Molokai. NOT! ter as I write to carry marines and tanks at 40 knots into whatever coastal waters the United States wishes to intrude. So for the last few years, the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) has docked the two superferries–Alakai and Huakai–in Norfolk, Virginia, waiting for final disposition. The agency took possession of them when their parent company Hawaii Superferry, Inc. went belly-up immediately following a state Supreme Court decision stating that boats could not sail until a full and legal environmental review was completed on the whole “superferry” concept. Since HSF owed MARAD $150 million in federal loan guarantees, a bankruptcy judge ruled the agency could take the vessels. The Navy “is working with the U.S. Maritime Administration to permit the transfer of the two high-speed vessels, formerly Hawaii superferries, into the naval service of the United States,” a naval spokesperson said in the Hampton Roads Pilot on Nov. 21 (I found the story through a Pacific Business

Overheard

“You guys... I really like hash.” -Restaurant worker on break on Front Street in Lahaina, Nov. 24

News blog post put up the same day). MARAD is trying to get money for the two vessels (“with a goal of maximizing the government’s return” was how a September MARAD statement put it) but if the U.S. Navy does indeed get them, don’t expect a shower of money.

MOLOKAI CRUISE FAKE-OUT Looks like anti-cruise ship activists had a busy weekend on the Friendly Isle. First on Saturday, a group of residents paddled out near Kaunakakai Harbor to meet an American Safari Cruises vessel–a small ship that takes passengers to out of the way places missed by the mega-ships. It was a bold act of protest reminiscent of the surfers who blocked the Hawaii Superferry Alakai from entering Nawiliwili Harbor on Kauai back in 2007. And it worked too–citing “safety” concerns, the captain of the cruise vessel turned tail and headed for Lanai, according to the Nov. 28 Maui News. Well, for a while. Though activist Walter Ritte told the Maui News that he and his comrades had been assured the ship wouldn’t return to the island until negotiations had taken place, when everyone woke up Sunday morning they found the American Safari Cruises vessel docked in Kaunakakai Harbor. “The trust has gone out the window with this guy,” Ritte told the News, referring to American Safari Cruises CEO Dan Blanchard. “We told him you ask first, before you come to somebody’s house.” As it turned out, the cruise ship passengers didn’t get all they’d hoped for. According to both the Maui News and the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, a tour group from the ship failed to get into Halawa Valley because a fallen tree was blocking the road. Strange there would suddenly be a fallen tree right there... ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1524n2

LOCAL GYMNASTS WIN BIG ON BIG ISLAND

Valley Isle Gymnastics Win State Championships

The team wouldn’t attend inter-island competitions without the motivation and resourcefulness of the parents of the athletes and the initiative of Shannon Sheldon. Sheldon has spearheaded fundraising efforts from holding a dinner evening at Stella Blues to seeking donations from individuals and businesses. “One overnight meet can set a family back as much as $1,000 simply because of travel and accommodation costs,” says Gage. “We’re working on seeking out more local businesses and individuals who see what we do at VIG, understand the values we present and reinforce with the young people we influence, and are willing to donate financially toward supporting that end. In this generation of entitlement, I believe there’s nothing more important we can do with our future leaders than teach them the value of a strong work ethic. I can think of few sports that require a higher work ethic than that of competitive gymnastics.”

Two Maui gymnasts from Valley Isle Gymnastics claimed All Around State Champions trophies at the Hawaii State Championship held at the Kona Aerials Gymastics in Kealakekua on the Big Island. Shyanne Sheldon of Kihei emerged as the All Around gold medalist, vault silver medalist, balance beam silver medalist and floor exercise silver medalist for the Level 4A division (nine-year-olds). Shyanne’s all around score was the second highest of the entire meet, regardless of age division. Makena Derby of Kaupo emerged as the All Around gold medalist, uneven bars gold medalist, floor exercise gold medalist and balance beam bronze medalist for the Level 4 division (11-year-olds). “That weekend, when I heard the entire audience erupt in a deafening ovation for these anonymous underdogs from Maui,” says coach and owner Rusty Gage, “I’ll be the first to admit I got teary-eyed. It was so heartwarming to watch these happy young ladies receive pseudo-celebrity like recognition for their innocently being who they truly are.” There are gold medalists for each age group within each level. This competition was for Levels 4, 5 and 6 gymnasts. Sheldon has been training at VIG for almost three years while Derby has been at the gym for over two years.

Hawaii Wildlife Fund

animal? Of course, actually owning one would be a huge responsibility that includes possible detriments to your health and financial stability. But the Hawaii Wildlife fund offers an attractive alternative: you can adopt wildlife from them at fraction of the price it takes to keep these animals wild and safe from extinction. Hawaii Subaru has teamed up with Hawaii Wildlife Fund to help keep Hawaii wild; you will find them at the Maui Island Subaru dealership offering wild animal adoptions on Saturday, Dec. 3, from 11am to 2pm. The network of Subaru Hawaii dealerships–Big Island, Kahului and Oahu–will donate $250 to the Hawaii Wildlife Fund and SPCA Maui for every new vehicle sold from Nov. 1 throughout Dec. 31 of this year. Their “Share the Love” events will benefit the Hawaii Wildlife Fund, SPCA Maui, Hawaii Island Humane Society, Oahu SPCA and Hawaii Literacy. “We are delighted to launch Subaru Hawaii’s Share the Love sales event and give back to the community,” said Glenn Inouye, Senior Vice President, Servco representing the Subaru Hawaii Dealers. “We feel that this promotion will be a win-win for Subaru owners, customers and local non-profit partners. Subaru owners are active members in their local communities and with this program it’s our goal to recognize and celebrate some of those varied groups during the holiday season.” The Hawaii Wildlife Fund was founded in 1996 and is dedicated to the preservation of the state’s fragile marine ecosystem and its tr inhabitants. “It’s tricky to focus cies over another, on one spe-

we focus mauka to makai,” said fund president Hannah Bernard. “Everything we do on land affects the nearshore. Here in Hawaii everything is connected.” SPCA Maui is fighting an uphill battle with the domestic pets and education about spay and neutering. “SPCA Maui is pleased to support Subaru Hawaii’s ‘Share the Love’ promotion,” said Whitney White, SPCA Maui President. “Thank you Subaru Hawaii for helping us promote and provide affordable spay/neuter of companion animals to the Maui community.”

BIO-BEETLE TURNS OVER NEW LEAF Maui has the world’s only biodiesel rental car company in the world – Bio-Beetle – and recently they expanded their fleet to include electric vehicles. This comes right in the wake of a new county initiative to add an electric vehicle support system via the Maui Electric Vehicle Alliance. BioBeetle opened in January 2003 to offer the most environmentally friendly rental cars in the world. The fleet includes 17 cars: one Jeep Liberty, 13 Volkswagen beetles and Jettas that run on bio-fuel, two Toyota Priuses and one Nissan Leaf. The Leaf was the first electric vehicle offered for sale on Maui. “The Leaf was rented out for one day by an Oahu resident who is considering buying one,” says Bio-Beetle

Bio-Beetle Eco Rental Car Founders Shaun Stenshol and Pamela Miedtke-Wolf

president Shaun Stenshol. “We also just rented it out to someone staying in Hana for five days where the bed and breakfast had an outlet for her to plug into to. They both loved the car.” Since expanding the fleet to include the Prius and the Leaf, Bio-Beetle has not added any biodiesel vehicles. But they still see biofuel as the most environmentally friendly option overall and will continue to add biodiesel vehicles when the timing is right. “Because of the price of diesel vehicles, we pay a lot more for our cars then other rental car companies,” says Stenshol. “That is the single biggest challenge we face. Adding electric and plugin cars is even more expensive. Also it’s very hard to compete with the large car rental companies already here. Most people book through the major online travels sites and don’t know we exist. Those major travel sites won’t take any ‘new’ companies, even when we are offering a different service, so we have to rely on word of mouth, repeat renters, travel guides and people searching on their own.” ■ -@HILandTrust (Hawaii Land Trust), Nov. 28, 2011 jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso

NEWS&VIEWS

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPARD

REPORTING SCOOP Enterprising reporters get stories by earning the trust of their sources, which Simon Eroro of the Post-Courier (Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea) obviously did. At a banquet in November, the News Limited (Rupert Murdoch’s empire) awarded Eroro its “Scoop of the Year” honor for reporting on militant tribal fighters of the Free West Papua movement–a scoop he had to earn by agreeing to undergo a ritual circumcision, with bamboo sticks, to prove his sincerity. (Some of the rebels still wear penis gourds whose size varies with the status of the wearer.)

OUR LITIGIOUS SOCIETY An Illinois appeals court finally threw out a lawsuit in August, but not before the twoyear-long battle had created a foot-high pile of legal filings on whether two “children” (now ages 23 and 20) could sue their mother for bad parenting while they were growing up. Among the claims were mom’s failure to send birthday cards or “care” packages during the kids’ college years and calling her daughter at midnight to ask that she return home from a party (and once failing to take the girl to a car show).

CONSUMER RIGHTS Jonathan Rothstein of Encino, Calif., filed a lawsuit in September against Procter & Gamble for selling its Crest toothpaste in “Neat Squeeze” packages, which Rothstein said make it impossible to access the last 20 percent of the contents, thus forcing consumers to buy more toothpaste prematurely. (He wants Procter & Gamble to return 90 cents to everyone who bought Neat Squeeze packages.) And Sarah Deming of Keego Harbor, Mich., filed a lawsuit in September against the distributor of the movie “Drive” (starring Ryan Gosling) because its trailers promised fast-driving scenes (like those in the Fast and Furious series), but delivered mostly just drama.

FINE POINTS OF THE LAW A recent vicious, unprovoked attack in Toronto by Sammy the cat on Molly the black Labrador (bloodying Molly’s ear, paws and eye) left Molly’s owner without recourse to Ontario’s or Toronto’s “dangerous pet” laws. The owner told the Toronto Star in November that, apparently, only dangerous dogs are covered. And Maya the cat was central to a recent contentious British immigration case when a judge seemed to favor residence for a Bolivian national because of Maya. The judge had concluded that the Bolivian man and his British partner had established a close-knit “family” relationship because of the need to care for Maya.

UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT Licensed Texas physician Akili Graham, 34,

who gives paid motivational speeches on healthy living (“How to Deal With Stress”), was arrested in October in Houston and accused as the front man for four “pain clinics” that allegedly dispense prescription drugs illegally. (2) A chief child-abuse investigator for the Catholic Church in Britain, Christopher Jarvis, 49, was sentenced in October following his guilty plea to possession of over 4,000 child-sex images on his computer. Jarvis had been hired in 2002 to protect against pedophiles’ access to church groups.

Evidently you got your van running again, which was good.

U.S. Rep. Tom Graves of Georgia told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in August that he and a partner had “settled” the lawsuit brought by the Bartow County Bank for failing to repay a $2.2 million loan they had taken out in 2007. Graves has been a staunch advocate for governmental fiscal austerity and voted against raising the federal debtceiling in August. However, he had balked at repaying the $2.2 million (though he had signed a personal guarantee) because, he said, the bank should have known when it made the loan that Graves would be unable to pay it back.

IRONY Violinist Martin Stoner, 60, who lost his job after 25 years and who is suing the New York City Ballet for age discrimination, petitioned federal judge Robert Patterson to disqualify himself from the case because he is too old (88) and, according to Stoner, has vision and hearing problems.

COMPELLING EXPLANATION Management consultant Graham Gibbons, 42, was on trial in Cardiff, Wales, at press time, charged with making a clandestine video of himself and his then-girlfriend in bed. Gibbons denied being a pervert, insisting that he made the video to analyze, for “efficiency,” the “time and motion” of his “performance,” as he might do for corporate clients. (Despite his alleged improved lovemaking, the girlfriend broke up with him.)

PEOPLE WITH ISSUES In November, Tommy Joe Kelly, unsuccessfully acting as his own lawyer, was convicted of slashing a stranger’s tire by an Austin, Texas, jury, despite his explanation. “OK, I’m going to tell you the truth on this one,” he said from the witness stand. “It doesn’t sound right, but it is. I... had hemorrhoids at that time, super duper bad.” There have been 391 tire slashings in Kelly’s neighborhood over the last four years, but he was charged with only one count, and sentenced to 10 years in jail. ■ chuck@mauitime.com To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1524n4

Is the Sun Setting on Maui’s Book Lovers?

By Anthony Pignataro

There were lots of books about sailing, golf and World War II. There was a good fiction section, lots of biographies and a few shelves of Hawaiiana. There was also, when I went in last week, a box of very cheap magazines in the front of the store just opposite a couple shelves of free though slightly out-of-date travel books. Welcome to the new used book store in Lahaina’s Wharf Cinema Center. It opened Nov. 2, and is run by and for Maui Friends of the Library. Most of the titles–pretty much all of which is priced between $1 and $6–comes from donations. Five thousand of the books are the last of the stock from JoAnn Carroll’s Old Lahaina Book Emporium, which closed a few months ago. The shop itself comes donated from the Wharf, and all labor is volunteer, meaning the operation has virtually no overhead. “Considering that we haven’t been open that long, every day we’re here we do a bit better,” one volunteer told me. “I’m just glad that we have this.” This is indeed good news for book lovers on Maui (Self-

serving disclosure #1: my interest in this subject stems from both my position as editor of a weekly publication and as author of the new novel Small Island, published in August by Event Horizon Press). There was a time, not many years ago, when there were used and new bookstores located all over the island–the big Borders Books and Music in the Maui Marketplace, most notably, as well as the smaller Borders shops in the Ka‘ahumanu Center, Piilani Shopping Center and Lahaina Cannery Mall. Now there are just three: the big Barnes & Noble in the Lahaina Gateway Center and the Maui Friends of the Library shops in the Wharf and over by the sugar mill in Pu‘unene. “There is an ecosystem of reading, in which we see that many

of the same people who visit their libraries also visit bookstores, purchase books online and read ebooks, and libraries, publishers and bookstores have had a symbiotic, mutually reinforcing relationship for quite some time,” said State of Hawaii Librarian Richard Burns. “As a result, we are very sad when bookstores close—we all contribute to the overall intellectual and cultural health of our communities, and over the years we often partnered and complemented each other’s programs.” The reasons for the recent tightening of options for the island’s readers are myriad, complex and disconcerting. The opening of the Maui Friends of the Library bookstore in Lahaina is an encouraging sign, but is it enough to keep the sun from setting on Maui’s book lovers?

“The secret at the heart of reading is the time it frees for the brain to have thoughts deeper than those that came before.” It’s becoming clear that reading plays a huge role in the development of a person’s brain. Doctors scanning children during reading show more of the brain in use than that used by adults. Then, as the child grows, reading requires less of the brain to operate. Though reading uses parts of the brain not used in, say, watching television, it actually makes thinking easier. “The secret at the heart of reading is the time it frees for the brain to have thoughts deeper than those that came before,” said

DECEMBER 1, 2011

writer Maryanne Wolf, who is quoted in Caleb Crain’s 2007 New Yorker essay “The Twilight of Books.” Such brain development has profound ramifications for society. According to Crain, literate and oral societies quite simply think differently. “Whereas literates can rotate concepts in their minds abstractly, orals embed their thoughts in stories,” Crain wrote. “In an oral culture, cliche and stereotype are valued, as accumulations of wisdom, and

analysis is frowned upon, for putting those accumulations at risk. There’s no such concept as plagiarism, and redundancy is an asset that helps an audience follow a complex argument.” History, for a society without writing and reading, is a very different concept from our own. “Words have their present meanings but no older ones, and if the past seems to tell a story with values different from current ones, it is either forgotten or slightly adjusted,” Crain wrote. “As the scholars Jack

Goody and Ian Watt observed, it is only in a literate culture that the past’s inconsistencies have to be accounted for, a process that encourages skepticism and forces history to diverge from myth.” Writing allows civilization to record huge tracts of information that make possible the cultural and technical sophistication we enjoy today, but it also forces people to ask questions and evaluate theories. Even someone reading the most vulgar erotica still has to think and imagine in

ways the same person viewing pornography never has to. Of course, people can read all sorts of things besides books: magazines, newspapers, recipes, street maps, milk cartons. But books hold a special place in society. Their size and physical strength (if properly cared for, a book can last for centuries) allows for the recording of incredibly complicated arguments and stories. Of course, their bulk and structure also make them relatively expensive to produce and difficult to store. That’s why ebooks represent an interesting, and perhaps critical, change to the history of books. Indeed, Swedish furniture

giant IKEA recently redesigned its popular “BILLY” bookcase with deeper shelves and glass doors. The reason, according to a Sept. 10, 2011 article in The Economist: “The firm reckons customers will increasingly use them for ornaments, tchotchkes and the odd coffee-table tome–anything, that is, except books that are actually read.” On an island with limited space and resources, electronic libraries are useful indeed. And industry numbers show rising ebook sales from online retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble. For author Linda Nagata, this is a very good thing. Nagata, who has won the Nebula and Locus awards, lives in Kula and prefers to

self-publish her fantasy and science fiction work as ebooks. (Self-serving disclosure #2: Nagata gave my novel a favorable review on her blog Hahvi.net.) “It used to be horribly expensive to selfpublish, but now it’s possible to publish ebooks for very little, and to publish printon-demand books for only a little more,” said Nagata in an email. “It was the opportunity I’d been waiting for. I had six out-ofprint novels originally published by New York houses. I also had years of experience working in web development and, as it turns out, ebooks are essentially coded the same way as web pages, so I more-or-less knew what I was doing. I eventually pub-

lished all six backlist titles, a young-adult novel, and The Dread Hammer, an original fantasy novel. Six of the books are available in print-on-demand versions, and all are available worldwide.” As far as whether it’s possible to make a living at self-publishing ebooks, Nagata calls that the “$50,000-a-year question.” “It is possible to make a living self-publishing fiction,” said Nagata. “Even beyond the famous names, quite a few people are doing just that. But it’s not easy, and it’s not fast money, and most who try won’t make it. Then again, most who try to make a living through traditional publishing won’t make it either.”

“It’s the only retail industry I can think of that will go full circle, back to the way it originally was... From the small village bookstore to the big-box retailer and then back again. That doesn’t ever happen in retail.” Of course, the bankruptcy of the Borders corporation– which closed nearly every bookstore on Maui–may not have simply been a bookseller’s failure to swim against the electronic tide. In his Nov. 10 Bloomberg Businessweek article “The End of the Borders and the Future of Books,” journalist Ben Austen makes a compelling case that Borders started out strong in its early years, only to decay and ultimately disintegrate due to bad business practices. “From 1999 onward,” Austen wrote, “Borders was headed by six different CEOs, none of whom stayed long enough to make the company work.” Investing heavily in compact discs and DVDs at the cusp of the on-demand, streaming era; buying a stationery company in 2004; poorly marketing its own Kobo e-reader; locating too many bookstores in unprofitable parts of town– all these decisions, Austen wrote, hobbled Borders at a time when competition with Barnes & Noble was at its height. For Arnie Kotler, the owner of the Koa Books publishing house in Kihei, loss of the Borders chain was devastating. If you can’t sell books, why on earth would you publish them? “As a local publisher, it’s huge,” Kotler said. “I’ve been corresponding with other writers on how to deal with it. It’s a problem.” Koa Books opened on Maui in 2005 with Cindy Sheehan’s Not One More Mother’s Child. Its most recent book, Georgia O’Keeffe’s Hawai‘i by Patricia Jennings and Maria Ausherman, has yet to hit the shelves (see page 5 for Anu Yagi’s review of the book). Kotler publishes just a couple titles a year, mostly dealing with progressive politics. “There are about 60 publishers on Maui, but I’m the only one who isn’t a self-publisher,” said Kotler, who spent 15 years as a book publisher in the Bay Area. Business hasn’t been great, but Kotler didn’t expect that it would be. “It’s never been a smart business move to go into publishing,” he said. Koa Books is a “labor of love” for Kotler. “I’m not optimistic about the financial side of the business,” he said. “I have a half-time job at a retreat center in Hana. I’ve never drawn a salary from Koa. But the last two years I’ve basically broken even.”

Kotler moved a remarkable 20,000 copies of Sheehan’s books into stores that first week, which was fantastic except that 17,000 of them ended up coming back. He found more success with On That Day, Everybody Ate, which tells the story of author Margaret Trost’s journey to Haiti and has so far sold a respectable 15,000 copies. “I’m personally convinced the physical book is not going away,” Kotler said. “Sales of paperback and hard-cover books are lower, and ebooks are rising, but I think there will be a place for the physical form. I mean, some people still write letters. A book is just something different.” Assuming people keep reading in the first place. Apple’s Steve Jobs famously sneered back in 2008 that “people don’t read anymore,” which though clearly overstated, is rooted in some painful statistics. According to data compiled by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), 46.7 percent of Americans said they’d read a work of literature in 2002; 54 percent had done so in 1992; and 56.9 percent had read at least one such book in 1982. Reports Crain in 2007: “In ‘To Read or Not to Read,’ the N.E.A. reports that American household’s spending on books, adjusted for inflation, is ‘near its twenty-year low,’ even as the average price of a new book has increased.” Stats and doom-prophecy concerning reading actually pre-date the Internet. “According to the Gallup Poll, the number of Americans who admitted to having read no books during the past year–and this is not an easy thing to admit to a pollster–doubled from 1978 to 1990, from 8% to 16%,” journalism professor Mitchell Stephens wrote in his 1991 Los Angeles Times Magazine story “The Death of Reading.” Stephens’ article, written at a time when book publishing, book sales and public library use were all increasing, is a sobering thing to read today. “We are developing a generation that has no interest in reading except insofar as it is assigned in school,” Stephens quotes Caltech humanities Professor Daniel Kevles. “They don’t read newspapers or magazines. I sense a general lack of interest in public affairs among my students.” The reason, according to Stephens, lay largely with

the passive television, which requires little from viewers’ minds. And all those books that publishers were printing? “They have begun replacing the bottle of Scotch or the tie as gifts–giving them about the same chance of being opened as those ties had of being worn,” Stephens wrote. Depressing conclusions to be sure, but are readers on Maui–and in the U.S. as a whole–doomed? State Librarian Burns doesn’t think so. “All indications are that people are reading more than ever before, and in a greater variety of formats,” Burns emailed. “Circulation for the Hawaii State Public Library System in 2009, the year immediately prior to furloughs, was the highest it has been in a decade. People are also using their libraries for more purposes: our ebook circulation is the fastest growing segment among our collections, usage of our online databases continues to increase and visits to our website are climbing. We have placed new computers in all our libraries, and for the first time each branch has at least one ADA-compliant workstation, including furniture, hardware and software, peripherals and JAWS and Zoom Text assistive software. Our internet computers, which can be reserved a week in advance, are in constant use, with lines of people waiting at many libraries.” There are also indications that small, independent bookstores (around 2,500 square feet) like the Maui Friends of the Library shop at the Wharf may, in fact, be the wave of the future. This is because, according to Austen’s Bloomberg Businessweek report, many people “simply like the experience of going to a bookstore.” “It’s the only retail industry I can think of that will go full circle, back to the way it originally was,” Austen quotes retail consultant Jeff Green as saying. “From the small village bookstore to the big-box retailer and then back again. That doesn’t ever happen in retail.” ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1524L Comment on this story at mauitime.com

Beyond The Sea Mark Ellman’s Honu offers locals worldly seafood creations BY JEN RUSSO

Honu Seafood and Pizza 1295 Front St., Lahaina 667-9390

hen was the last time you wanted to hop on a plane and head to San Francisco for a seafood cocktail, or grab a po’ boy from a New Orleans shrimp shack, or dig into some Dungeness crab at Seattle’s Waterfront Park? We don’t really have the luxury of doing that, but we can head to Mark Ellman’s newest oceanside restaurant Honu Seafood and Pizza where he's captured those seafood traditions and brought them to Maui. It’s a family business where you will find Mark, his wife Judy and their daughters Ariana and Michelle running the show. “I enjoy eating seafood more than any other item and it was missing in our marketplace,” Mark told me. His menu

The bar features an unique and extensive beer selection. “It’s a big commitment,” says Ellman. “It’s not easy keeping 55 beers in stock. We have 12 on draft and we focused heavily on U.S. microbrews. Our Flying Dog Imperial Stout is a well-sought-out beer.” Their handcrafted cocktail list contains lots of locally sourced fruits and liquors. I have to admit it was love at first sip with their smoked julep, which features Devils Cut Bourbon and Lagavulin Scotch. The menu at Honu is extensive in the seafood department, but they also offer rich lamb riblets, crispy fried pig ear, braised meats and burgers. The Naples style pizzas pair perfectly with their beers, and the Hamakua mushroom pizza with micro greens is phenomenal. My own seafood festival began with Dungeness crab cocktail. These beautiful hard shell crabs caught in the Pacif-

granate, nuts, grape tomatoes, edamame, tofu and cucumber all make for interesting and complex vegetarian fare. I finished the evening with the Fresh Fish Dore preparation. It was Kampachi egg-battered and flour-dredged. Turkish quinoa rounded out the grain; the haricot verts and white corn made an amazing succotash. The butter lemon and dill pollen sauce with capers was topped with edible petals. It was gorgeous to look at, but this work of art still disappeared quickly.

Honu just started their gourmet holiday cookie sale housemade by pastry chef Liz McDonald. Order a box of their assortment of chocolate chip, almond raspberry thumbprints, ricotta biscuits and chocolate hazelnut lava cookies, or the vegan gluten-free chocolate brownies with macadamia nuts and fudge topping for $19 each. The Honu bake shop needs 48 hours notice and you can pick up your goodies at the restaurant. Honu will also host a beer festival on Dec. 19 and starts at 6pm. “The beer festival is meant to introduce the eclectic beers that we carry,” says Ellman. “We are focusing on Italy, Belgium and Germany. We will even have a gluten-free beer from Belgium. We are going to serve ahi bruschetta, pizza, shrimp cocktail, fried oysters. Even fried pig’s ear, too.” It’s Honu’s version of bar food, with 13 beers from around the world. The cost is $49. Call 667-9390 to reserve a seat. Honu Seafood and Pizza also offers a 10 percent discount to kama‘aina all the time, and 25 percent off for kama‘aina eating at the bar. ■ jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso

he Hui No'eau will host a holidaythemed evening of elegant canapes, cocktails and gift shopping at First Night this Thursday starting at 5pm. They’re especially excited to exhibit guest designer Andre Morrisette’s re-envisioning of the nearly 100-year-old Kaluanui estate, which will be all dressed up for the season. Morrisette has created magical holiday decor featuring amazing window installations to be revealed that night. Morrissette is an award-winning dancer, teacher and choreographer with credits as theatrical costumer and graphic designer. He’s been a Maui resident since 1988 and currently teaches at Seabury Hall and works as resident choreographer for the Baldwin High School Drama Department. Prior to his current “Hui Holidays” work, he produced two events at the Hui to help raise funds for their jewelry arts education program. On Monday, Maui artist Nancy Skrimstad assisted in putting up the installations. “This has been such an inspiring day for me,” said Skrimstad. “Andre and I have wanted to work together for years–and to be able to do it here with such a newly invigorated, fresh Hui has just been really gratifying as an artist. It’s so great to see the Hui allow their artists to express themselves and explore creativity. I’ve been involved with the Hui for a long time–I would have never been able to get away with this years ago!” You’ll be able to watch the Upcountry sunset while sipping the signature cocktail Kaluanui Sunset–Ocean vodka, cranberry juice and Limonata at this one night only event. The menu also looks divine with Ahi nicoise potato canapes, mini fresh turkey and cranberry salad sandwiches on sage buns, truffled tomato tarts, apple pecan baked brie in puff pastry and smoked salmon and marlin pates with crackers, breads, capers and onion. Plus cookies and chocolates, cheese, fruit and bread. Coffee by Coffees of Hawaii and wine will also be served. Tickets are $30 per person and are available at (808) 5726560 or at huinoeau.com/events.

with crusty bread and garlic butter, cilantro and macadamiacrusted opakapaka with grilled pineapple salsa, seared prosciutto and basil salmon with orange marmalade gastrique. Kids will love the shrimp fried rice with scallop fettucini and lobster fritters with pineapple sage salsa. Desserts are traditional–mini pumpkin pies, apple crumble bites, pineapple rum colada bites and warm Molokai sweet potato soufflé. A skilled team of five will start preparing the buffet a full day in advance. McDowell will also carve an ice sculpture as a display featuring an unlimited supply of peel-and-eat tiger prawns, oysters and Dungeness crabs. He also keeps his own garden of greens and herbs. I got a chance to ask him about using his garden-grown goods in the buffet. MauiTime: What items will be featured in the seafood buffet from the garden? Marc McDowell: Our garden features over 80 exotic herbs and 100 different types of vegetables. We use all of them in the dishes featured at our resort. Here is what will be featured at the buffet: poblano peppers for the shrimp caesar salad, French tarragon in the tortellini artichoke salad, basil and chives and dill in the lobster and scallop seafood terrines, lemon thyme in the chowder, bronze fennel in the seafood bisque, red barron scallions in the pokes, kaffir lime in the whole steamed mahi mahi

am using any fish that's growing in my back yard like mahi, ahi, opakapaka, swordfish. The Friday Seafood Buffet is offered every Friday night for $50 (plus tax) per person, $25 (children aged 5-12). Children under five eat free. Reservations are recommended and seating is limited. Call 875-5888.

he Makena Beach and Golf Resort is already popular with its Saturday Japanese Buffet and lavish Sunday Brunch, but that’s not enough for Executive Chef Marc McDowell. On Friday Dec. 2, 2011 he will launch a dreamy five-station seafood lovers extravaganza buffet, with seatings at 5:30, 6, 7:30 and 8pm. The seafood buffet showcases the waters surrounding Maui with local favorites like the poke bar, which features fresh island sashimi and an array of poke preparations.

Just Executive Chef Marc McDowell of Makena Beach and Golf Resort shows off his garden to name a few… MauiTime: How does this seafood buffet rate compared to your other two already popular buffets? McDowell: Except for the aquaponic baby lettuce, prime rib, and includes amazing full page photos all shot in his kitchen and vegetable dishes and desserts everything has some sort of fish property in Kula.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1 BETTER THAN CANDIED YAMS OR HONEY-GLAZED HAM, IT’S MAUI SLAM POETRY’S HOLIDAY SLAM! - No worries, you won’t be deemed a grinch if you don’t stick to this month’s holiday theme. But when and where else can you perform an ode to eggnog, sonnet for Santa, verse for Vixen, quatrain for Kwanzaa or haiku for Hanukkah? Never mind that a $100 cash prize is on the line (as is the case every month at Maui Slam Poetry events). Be sure to dress in your

finest (or funniest) festive attire, and stick around for the dance party by “the e mischievous elf” DJ SID and “visual alchemy” by VJ Douglas Deboer. Poets must st signup by 9:30pm. $5 cover. Free with non-perishable donation to the Maui Food Bank. (Note: The goods most-needed are canned meats, canned anned produce, canned soups with protein, and dry cereals, rice and pastas.) stas.) Casanova (1188 Makawao Ave.); 572-0220; facebook.com/mauislam lam

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2 SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO WAILUKU’S FIRST FRIDAY - I dunno about you, but as I’m a creature of habit, I still find myself sticking to the sidewalks during Wailuku First Friday–even when the street’s closed to vehicular traffic (N. Market St. up to the Vineyard St. intersection, beginning at 5:30pm). But I’m sure I’ll loosen up with a nip of nog and a cue from Claus, who will parade down the street as part of this month’s festivities. Other highlights

include Na Leo Lani O Maui community choir (under the direction off Gale Wisehart and Uluwehi Guerrero), X-mas belly dancing and a bake sale at Body Alive’s Exhale! event, a fragrant Hawaiian wreath sale and Maui OnStage’s tage’s production of A Christmas Carol. See our Da Kine Calendar for details. Free admission. 6-9pm. N/S Market, Main and Vineyard Streets, Wailuku. iluku. facebook.com/wailukufirstfriday k.com/wailu lukufirstfriday lu

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3 PREVENT HUNDREDS OF POUNDS OF TRASH FROM ENTERING THE OCEAN AT THE MA’ALAEA DRAINAGE DITCH CLEANUP - “All drains lead to the ocean,” says Community Work Day’s executive director Rhiannon Chandler. The mile-long Ma‘alaea drainage ditch is filled with rubbish–from what the wind’s blown in and what’s been intentionally dumped. Some shame, eh? With the winter rain upon us, all this litter will soon be washed into our beloved ocean. “It’s a race against the first winter storm,” says Pam Daoust, president of the Ma‘alaea Community Association. All cleanup supplies (like bags, gloves, littergrabbers and water) are provided by Community Work Day, and the organization hopes at least 100 caring Mauians will turn up to help save our sea. Volunteers who participate in this cleanup will receive a “Garden Start” script good for a free edible plant of their choice, grown by volunteers for the Communities Putting Prevention to Work Initiative. 8am-12pm. Meet at the volunteer sign-in tents in the Maui Ocean Center’s parking lot (192 Ma’alaea Rd., off Honoapi’ilani Hwy.); 877-2524; info@cwdhawaii.org

PAKALOHA BIKINI PARTY - The words “bikini” and “party”–even if stand-alone–are enough to elicit attention. Use the words “bikini” and “party” as successive pair, and you’re guaranteed an audience. In fact, it really doesn’t matter that the party part of this event features The Whiskey Pimps and DJ Daniel J, or that there will be plenty of party prizes. All that really matters is that it’s a party with Pakaloha Bikinis, and the cover’s cut in half if you come wearing one. $10 cover. $5 if wearing Pakaloha Bikini. 9pm-12am. Captain Jack’s Island Grill (Wharf Cinema Center, 658 Front St., Lahaina); pakalohamaui.com

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4 HERITAGE FILM FESTIVAL SCREENS THREE SHORT FILMS ABOUT KAHO‘OLAWE’S STRUGGLES - One of my best buddies, Marc, who came to the islands thanks to AmeriCorps, was recently commenting on his time spent cleaning up Kaho‘olawe. He noted how the isle’s pareidolic profile is said to look like a keiki in fetal position (not unlike how Maui’s a busty bald lady), and given its use as a bombing range (from WWII through the 1980s), is likened to an abused child. Fascinating, albeit sad... Three short films that explore the historic struggles of Kaho‘olawe Island screen Sun. at the MACC,

part of the Heritage Film festival’s commitment to “tell the stories of the indigenous people of Hawai‘i and the Pacific, highlighting culture, history, arts and current affairs.” The films “portray the earliest days of the movement to stop the bombing of Kaho‘olawe [with] scenes from the life of George Jarrett Helm, Jr. [who] worked tirelessly to stop the bombing and inspire others to take-up the cause.” After the screening, stick around to meet the passionate filmmakers and partake in a Q&A session. $10 + applicable fees. 3pm. McCoy Studio Theater, MACC (One Cameron Way, Kahului); 242-7469 (SHOW); mauiarts.org

HOLIDAY POPS! WITH MAUI POPS ORCHESTRA AND SPECIAL GUEST AMY HANAIALI’I - Maui Pops Orchestra, a community orchestra which strives for accessibility (conductor James Durham says, “Style is everything... We try not to be stuffy. If you play everything the same way, it can be so boring, and no one will come.”) presents an evening of popular holiday classics. Augmenting this delightful island tradition is powerfully piped Hawaiian songstress Amy Hanaiali‘i, who joins the ensemble to share some of her favorite holiday tunes. And as a special treat, keiki are invited to the “Milk & Cookies” reception (with an appearance by Santa Claus), following the concert. Pre-show dinner made availaable by MauiFlavors. $10 / $25 / $35 / $35 / half-price for keiki 12-years$ old and younger + applicable fees. 3:30pm. Castle Theater, MACC (One Cameron Way, Kahului); 242-7469 (SHOW); mauiarts.org

MONDAY, MO ON ND DAY, D DECEMBER 5 KRISHNA DAS - If green’s the new black, kirtan chanting’s the new carol. Whenever Krishna Das comes to town, he sells out the house (after all, he’s “the best known U.S. singer of kirtan-style music”)–so fans would do well to get their tickets early and show up early, too (never mind you’ll save $10 on the ticket price by buying in advance at

Haiku’s Maui Kombucha, or online at krishnadas.com). And if you arrive early, you’ll have time to enjoy the gourmet Indian dinner made available by Kihei’s Monsoon India and the raw desserts and kombucha teas by Maui Kombucha. $25 advance / $35 cash at door. 7pm. Makawao Union Church (3300 Baldwin Ave.); krishnadas.com

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6 GLEE AIRS ON THE BIG SCREEN AT AMBROSIA - Glee totally seems like the sort of show I would shun on (admittedly hypocritical) principal. If it’s on Fox, but not on Animation Domination, I ain’t touchin’ it (yeah, even with Glenn Beck having gotten the boot). But seeing as Jane Lynch (Best in Show, A Mighty Wind) stars as the vindictive Sue Sylvester, I’ve watched a few Glee episodes and it’s pretty damned funny. No wonder its inaugural season (2010) was nominated for 19 Emmys, four Golden Globes and a slew of other stuff. The wins have been piling up ever since, and so has it’s fan base. Hell, they even had a 3D concert movie in wide release. If you’re a fan, why sing alone at home when

you can sing along with other Gleeks at Ambrosia? They’ve got a huge screen, comfy seats and bitchin’ specialty drinks (though I recommend not attempting to dose the decorative stones). Plus, if Glee’s got you in the mood to groove, you can stick around ‘til late night hours (10pm) for Dirty House Tuesdays with DJ La Rage. No cover. 7pm. Ambrosia Martini Lounge (1913 S. Kihei Rd.); 891-1011; ambrosiamaui.com

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7 FREE KARAOKE WITH HOST BRADDAH FRANCIS - Karaoke is a fickle beast. It’s either fun or frightening, comical or uncomfortable. Though that’s not to say it’s without rare golden moments. Once, I saw someone flounder at the beginning of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and some random rockin’ queen stepped up to pick up the slack, channeling Freddie Mercury himself. But for every time some handsome crooner nails Marty Robbins’s epic “El Paso,” lamenting the sway of wicked Feleena, there are 5,000 creepy guys in line to sing some lame ballad no one’s

ever heard of–and never wants to hear again. Listen, if your own shower’s served you with a TRO, step away from the goddamned mic. Then again, maybe you’re new to the karaoke world and liquid courage just ain’t enough. Enter Braddah Francis. He’s a kick-ass kanaka songster who hosts the Kahului Ale House’s Wednesday night karaoke, and if you’re nervous he’ll kindly encourage you along. No cover. 8pm. Kahului Ale House (355 E. Kamehameha Ave.); 877-9001; alehouse.net

ngry Samoans is the sort of band name that at face value mightâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;oh, I dunnoâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;anger some Samoans.

I suppose thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame, but for a sicko paper hoarder like me, the keeping and posting of such gorgeous provenance makes up for it.) Blah, blah, blah. Me, me, me.

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 is icky but entertaining BY BARRY WURST II

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1

★★★★★

Rated PG13/117 Minutes

learned a valuable lesson watching the latest installment of Twilight: it’s tough being Bella Swan. As embodied by the pleasant but vacant Kristen Stewart, Bella has spent the last batch of movies being pursued by vampire stud Edward (Robert Pattinson, the Luke Perry of the undead) and shirtless werewolf wonder Jacob (Taylor Lautner). The the new movie puts her through some icky ordeals, starting with her wedding. Her newly made husband Edward gives a speech to the congregation about how he’s waited “thousands of years” for someone like Bella, which is supposed to induce swoons but only reminds us that he’s, like, the oldest living creature on the Earth with a 18-year old bride. Like, ew! Then there’s the honeymoon, set in gorgeous Brazil. Bella knows Edward may vamp

out and tear her to shreads if he’s turned on and isn’t careful. Then there’s the aftermath, in which Bella learns she’s hapai, and the baby is growing fast. Like her husband, it may be the death of her. The acting still stinks, the dialogue is often laughable and some scenes are unintentionally hilarious but, to cut this movie a break, it’s the best in the series. This time, they hired a real talent of a director, Bill Condon, who makes the film stylish and admittedly compelling almost the entire way. The first half is the most interesting when you consider the subtext: if you ignore the supernatural angle (which the film often does- remember, these vampires don’t even have fangs), you’ve got a story about a girl marrying a guy most are afraid will abuse her. Scenes of post-honeymoon night regret, with Edward apologizing for the bruises he left on Bella, feel queasily like a scene from a domestic abuse drama. When Bella learns she’s expecting, the major issue isn’t that the baby could be a monster, but if she should keep the baby or carry it to term. Like it or not, this series has grown up, at least a bit. The film isn’t two minutes old when Lautner rips off his shirt and goes running

through the woods. Old habits may die hard but this is the darkest entry in the series and the shift in tone is refreshing. The early scenes feel like a comedy, both intentional and inadvertent. The frequent nightmare sequences are pretty campy but one flashback, showing Edward in a 30’s era movie theater watching The Bride of Frankenstein is well done and a great nod to director Condon’s masterpiece, Gods and Monsters. The low point of the film and possibly the entire series, is a werewolf powwow, in which a horde of CGI beasts have a meeting in which they grunt and growl at one another, and we can hear their voices telepathically. It’s one of the silliest scenes of the year, only matched by Michael Sheen’s goofy, last-min-

ute cameo as the plotting vampire leader. Even if Part 2 of Breaking Dawn is awardworthy (about as likely as Lautner winning an Oscar), it’s too late for this series to be salvaged. Yet, let it be noted that the best scenes of this entry are captivating and that the closing sequence, a recap of the previous films and providing a startling character revelation, is wonderfully done. I can’t honestly recommend this for nonfans or series newbies, as this is still uneven. However, for longtime fans, add an additional star to my two-stars; I’ll never become a Twihard, but I gotta admit, this wasn’t bad. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1524f

NEW THIS WEEK ARTHUR CHRISTMAS - PG - Animation - Turns out, Santa’s round-the-world-in-a-night secret is that he’s a tech junkie. But old school Grandsanta (you know, Santa’s dad) says he’s just a glorified mailman with technological luxury. Meanwhile, Santa’s oldest son Steve is eager to be the next Santa, urging current Santa’s burgeoning identity crisis. Amidst all this hubbub, Santa’s youngest (and most annoying) son, Arthur, saves the day– because somebody’s got to. And you thought your family got tense ‘round Christmastime. 97 min.

HOROSCOPE

Sign Language BY CAERIEL CRESTIN SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Although overlooking them would be kinder, sometimes problems are too difficult or disturbing to ignore. Gently acknowledge them, either to the person in question—or those who’d notice if you started putting extra distance between yourself and that person. Glossing over and ignoring what’s actually happening isn’t a viable long-term (or even short-term) solution, but that doesn’t mean it needs to become a huge drama, either. This week, figure out the best (usually kindest and most rational, mature, and low-key) way to bring this up, so that it doesn’t need to be brought up again, ever. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

Just as clouds have silver lining, blessings have dark sides. It might be lucky to have a stunningly beautiful partner, a highpaying job, or to win the lottery, but they can have unguessed downsides. Perhaps the beautiful lover’s a boor, or makes them feel plain and ugly by comparison. The high-paying job may make someone prestigious and rich, but also lonely, stressed, and with no time to enjoy the fruits of their labors. Winning the lottery could destroy someone’s trust in others’ sincerity and damage valuable relationships. You’re lucky. If you think the grass is greener elsewhere, look again; it might not be as good as you think. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Mean girls may rule the school in junior high, but there’s no reason they should have any real power in adult life. There are ways and ways to give these unpleasant people what they deserve, and I hope you do, but this time, calmly (and probably privately) explaining how distasteful and unacceptable their childish behavior is may be your best bet. Your goal is to end the bullying without becoming a bully yourself, nor cause undue drama. The correct course here may not be the most emotionally satisfying one, but results matter more than vengeance, right? PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

There’s other people’s business and there’s your business, and which is which isn’t usually really a big mystery. Sometimes, though, the question of whether or not you should butt in isn’t altogether clear. Naturally, such a decision mustn’t be made lightly, given the rather dramatic consequences of your involvement (or lack thereof), so carefully weighing both options is important. But neither should you allow your choice to be made by default; since time’s an issue here, you need to make up your mind faster than you’re used to or want to—so get on it.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Holidays can be volatile enough without you stirring the pot. Start psyching yourself up to be the calm voice of reason this season. Mentally roleplay stressful scenarios, and how you’re going to choose to react to them instead of getting worked up. If everyone did this, holidays would be a time of pure joy, instead of the general mix of happiness and high drama they can sometimes turn into. Of course, almost no one does, and this year, your mellowing, rational influence could make all the difference between a wonderful holiday and a barely tolerable (or downright miserable) one.

QUIZunderstood ANSWERS ...to questions on page 6

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

When you’ve suffered for a prolonged period of time, it’s very easy for such misery to become habitual. Even once you escape the source of your distress—be it relationship, job, crappy childhood, or traumatic circumstance—you may discover that you continue to carry a piece of it in your head. That stupid voice continues to berate or threaten you in some manner—often in such a way that you manifest a similar scenario again. Of course, it’s you who’s the source of your own pain now; however, silencing it isn’t necessarily easy. Luckily, though, this week will give you a fantastic opportunity to, if not shut that voice up completely, at least turn down its volume. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

What’s right is what’s right, and standing up for that is always a good thing. Even (and perhaps especially) if you were on the wrong side of an issue before, fighting for the right side now doesn’t make you a hypocrite—it makes you someone who’s come to their senses. Don’t dread the consequences of finally stepping up. Eagerly anticipate them, because they’ll mostly be positive, pleasurable, and celebratory. Only the stubborn morons still on the wrong side of the line will dare to criticize you for it; the rest of us will admire you. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

When you ask someone to do something, and they follow your instructions, but not in the way you expected, you don’t exactly have a right to get pissed off—at least at them. You can be vexed with yourself for not being specific, but directing annoyance at others for not being mind readers isn’t just naïve, it’s a source of unnecessary drama. What you intended is of course perfectly obvious to you, and even if you believe it should have been just as clear to them, it wasn’t. Let this be a lesson to you; if you want something done “right,” you should be crystal clear on just what that means, or, of course, simply do it yourself.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Diving into conflict when you must is healthier than ignoring issues or bottling feelings until they explode. However, even if choosing whether or not to fight your battles isn’t really a question, deciding when and where to do so still should be. There are times when you’re more likely to get the results you hope for, and times when fighting will have less (or more) of a negative impact on people who are tangentially involved (or simply nearby). Consider all those factors before you next decide to fight the good fight, and consider biting your tongue if delaying it will be better for all concerned. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Rocking the boat can be scary. Even if you feel so bogged down, trapped, and frustrated that shaking things up seems to be the only way to move forward, many Bulls are still reluctant to do so. Yes, by making the changes you have in mind, you could capsize the boat you’re in. But that’s simply a risk you must take, because you already know that being stuck exactly here isn’t working for you. If you proceed wisely and communicate well, there’s a possibility of keeping much of what you have, even while opening the door to new horizons—go for that. And if the boat sinks, never mind—you’ve always been a strong swimmer.

808.878.8970

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

For years, I had trouble sharing what was going on in my life; if things were going great, I didn’t want to talk about them too much, out of superstitious fear that I’d jinx them. And if I was at a low point, I didn’t feel like it was much fun to share that or make people feel burdened by my troubles. At some point, I realized that both attitudes are actually a bit selfish, and that people mostly want to share both good times and bad—ideally, in balance. That balance, of course, is your forte. Since that strength will serve you so well this week, celebrate and exercise it! SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

You’re a big believer in letting people make their own mistakes, but when the consequences will result in others’ suffering, you must intervene. Figuring things out on your own, and screwing up along the way, is a huge part of life, but occasionally someone wiser gets to step in and teach the lesson in a kinder way, with fewer awful repercussions. This time, you get to play that wise teacher. Sure, your lesson might not be as “effective” as the one life would’ve taught, but it should still do the trick, and spare more than one person needless pain and suffering. That’s reason enough to step up.
