The state Senate’s lone Republican, Sen. Sam Slom of Oahu, is on every committee and is the de facto Minority Leader. Who exactly he’ll be leading is another matter. Sen. Kalani English will chair the Transportation and International Affairs Committee, while Sen. Roz Baker will head up the Commerce and Consumer Protection Committee. Sen. Shan Tsutsui, of course, will preside as Senate President, making him the first Valley Isle Senator to hold that position. Meanwhile, the chamber’s lone Republican, Sen.

‘ There Is No Military Solution’ Ret. Col. Ann Wright discusses the war in Afghanistan—and why it’s unwinnable

W

e’ve spoken with Ret. Col. Ann Wright of Oahu before—about her decision to resign from the State Department on the eve of the 2003 Iraq invasion, about the follies of the Bush Administration, about Israel, and about the importance of dissent. Now, recently returned from a factfinding trip to Afghanistan, Wright has plenty to say about America’s oft forgotten, decade-old war.

You went to Afghanistan in September 2009, and then again last month. What, if anything, has changed? The change that I noticed and that was talked about the most by Afghans was the huge increase in U.S. military bases—now over 400. We saw the construction of a huge base just north of Kabul. The high wall on the front side of it stretches over two miles and encloses a large training area. In the shadow of the wall, just across the road in an internal displacement camp, are tens of thousands of Afghans who have fled the fighting in the South and East of the country. They are living in abject misery in small dirt hovels, with no water or sewage and only a few sticks of wood each day to cook a tiny meal. Yet across the road are hundreds of millions—if not billions—of dollars spent on infrastructure for military training and operations. Villas built with the huge profits from the multimillion dollar U.S. logistics contracts to support our military presence are rented back to the international community contractors and non-governmental agencies for $10,000 to $15,000 per month. Yet most Afghans live in poverty. In travelling outside of Kabul north of the Panjshir Valley, we went past the turnoff to Bagram Air Base, now an American city with over 20,000 U.S. military living and working there, as well as an infamous prison with over 10,000 detainees who are being held without any judicial process, many for years. We observed two new, ‘smaller’ U.S. military bases on the way to the valley—with the standard and expensive bomb-blast protective walls with at least 50 pre-fab buildings in each and an American flag flying above each base. With its latest $500 million expansion project, the United States Embassy in Afghanistan will be the largest in the world, even bigger than the mammoth U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq. Over 1,400 U.S. government employees will reside inside the walls of the compound, which is expanding to take over the Afghan Ministry of Health grounds and part of an Afghan Ministry of Defense area. The U.S. is building two

consulates, one in Heart and one in Mazir Sharif. Each will cost $50 million. The United States’ presence in Afghanistan is so large that it has its own air terminal at the Kabul International Airport, plus the two mega air bases at Bagram and Kandahar, and the air base in Kyrgyzstan. This huge infrastructure build-up is to support the Obama administration’s strategy for Afghanistan. That strategy— which increased the U.S. military presence

should leave? Afghans do not want the international community to abandon or forget them, as happened after the defeat of the Soviets in Afghanistan in the late 1980s. But they want the killing of Afghan civilians to end. Afghans are concerned about their security, but with the United States, NATO forces, Afghan National Army and Taliban all shooting at them, they have nowhere to turn. In fact, Nowhere to Turn: The

“I don’t believe the Obama Administration really knows what they intend to do in Afghanistan or how long it will take.” by 50,000—was opposed by the U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan, retired threestar General Karl Eikenberry. Eikenberry was the former commander of U.S. military forces in Afghanistan. Two of his secret State Department cables to Obama during the strategy review—with his recommendation that a military increase was not what was needed—were leaked to the public, not through Wikileaks, but apparently directly to a major newspaper in the United States. Obama chose to ignore his own Ambassador and former military commander and approve Generals Patreaus and McChrystal’s recommendation of a dramatic increase in military troop strength. Do the Afghan people want us there under any circumstances, or is the overwhelming sentiment that we

Failure to Protect Civilians in Afghanistan is the title of a study endorsed by 29 international organizations that have done community development work in Afghanistan for decades. It documents the dramatically increasing number of civilian deaths, displacement of families across the country escaping the fighting, cutting off access to basic services and reduction of the ability or aid agencies to reach those who need assistance. Many Afghans with whom we talked say that the aggressive U.S. military operations for the ‘security’ of Afghanistan are counterproductive. They believe that as long as the U.S. military is in Afghanistan there will be many who will fight against the U.S.—just as they did against the Soviet soldiers—and will destroy the schools, clinics and roads that the United States has built.

Some believe a different type of international security force is needed, one that does not include the U.S. military. Others—including the brave, outspoken former Afghan Parliamentarian Malalia Joya—are calling for the immediate withdrawal of all foreign forces. They believe that the Afghans must ultimately sort out their own problems without foreign interference. What would you say is the biggest misconception the average American has about Afghanistan? I think many Americans believe that there always has been fighting in Afghanistan because the Afghans love to fight. They don’t realize that Afghans have had to repeatedly defend their tribal areas—and then their country—from foreign invaders. The geographic location of Afghanistan on the route from Asia to the Middle East has made it a target for many occupiers. No matter what our political leaders tell us about the rationale for the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, the United States is the latest invader and occupier. Most Afghans in the countryside haven’t even heard of the events of September 11 or al-Qaeda training bases. What they see is another foreign military force in their country killing Afghans. Is there any way for the U.S. to “win” this war? First, the Obama administration has to decide what ‘winning’ is. If winning is denying alQaeda to Afghanistan, we have won. That’s according to the CIA, which says no more than 50 al-Qaeda are ever in Afghanistan. If it’s defeating the Taliban, then we need to know who the Taliban is. The CIA estimates there are 17,000 Afghan Taliban, mostly farmers who get paid $10 a day to shoot at U.S. and NATO forces. In opposition to the 17,000 ‘Taliban’ are 550,000 international and Afghan personnel working to provide security in Afghanistan—100,000 U.S. military, 40,000 NATO, 60,000 U.S. contractors, 175,000 Afghan National Army, 175,000 Afghan National police. If it is a military ‘win’ the U.S. is looking for, then with that overwhelming number challenging the Taliban, we have to be winning—and if we're not, why? The answer is that there is no military solution, as expressed by virtually all the leaders of the countries that have been a part of the international coalition—except U.S. leaders. Proponents of the war often point to the plight of women and other oppressed groups, and say that if we were simply to leave, things would get even worse. How do you respond to that? »

Âť We have to look honestly at the plight of women and children in Afghanistan. The U.S. involvement over the last ten years has not increased the lifespan of women or men in Afghanistan—it is still at an appalling 45 years. Afghanistan has the second-highest infant mortality rate in the world, with 151 deaths out of 1,000 live births. One in five children in Afghanistan die before they reach five years of age and 850 children die per day. Thousands of Afghan women have been widowed or killed and children have been made orphans by U.S. forces, many more than were ever harmed by the Taliban or al-Qaeda. The Karzai government that the United States helped create in 2001 supported the ‘Taliban style’ Shia Personal Status Law, which legitimizes marital rape and prevents women from stepping out of the home without their husband’s consent. Karzai’s wife, a gynecologist in a country in great need of doctors, does not practice medicine and stays at home. Only one minister in Karzai’s cabinet is a woman—the head of Women’s Affairs, the only minister who has no regulatory powers. Why do you think the U.S. has been unable to capture Osama bin Laden? Do you believe he’s still alive, and in either Afghanistan or Pakistan? I believe that Osama bin Ladin is alive and is living, protected by the Pakistani ISI, in the tribal region of Pakistan. The U.S. placed a $25 million bounty on bin Laden in 2001, but the loyalty to a person [and] organization that has stood up to United States’ war policies is incredibly strong in many

So for a variety of reasons, the Bush administration did not want to capture or kill bin Laden—he was and is more useful to U.S. war policies alive than dead. What, to you, would a good outcome in Afghanistan look like? From what I’ve heard from Afghans, they want a country that has no fighting [so] they can return to their occupations in agriculture and farming in the rural areas, where their children can have medical care to stay alive and go to school. They want a country free from the interference of other countries—the United States, Pakistan, Iran, India, China, Russia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan. They want the war lords who have raped, pillaged and plundered brought to justice

“Osama bin Laden was and is more useful to U.S. war policies alive than dead.� countries around the world—particularly in the areas of Pakistan where bin Ladin has been well-known since his arrival in the 1980s, through the assistance of the United States, to help the Afghans defeat the Soviets. His picture is found in village markets all over the border regions of Pakistan—not a bounty photo but posters of reverence. I believe the United States had the opportunity to capture bin Ladin in 2001, but according to Afghan warlords that had been hired by the CIA to go up into the Tora Bora mountains to pursue bin Ladin, they were called off by the CIA. Speculation is that if the U.S. captured or killed bin Ladin, the reason for continuing the ‘war against terror’ would have been eliminated and the subsequent curtailing of civil liberties for American citizens through the enactment of the Patriot Act would not have been as easy as it has been, with very little push back from the frightened American public.

instead of being paid millions of dollars by the U.S. government as hired guns and later appointed to key jobs in the government. Considering the history of international involvement in Afghanistan, I think it’ll take a miracle—but miracles do occur. Corrupt systems are overthrown by the people, not through foreign interference. While we were in Afghanistan, we met with a group of brave young peace volunteers who are challenging the war policies in their country. They asked us to listen to the Afghans instead of imposing on them what we think they need. You’ve expressed frustration with the Obama Administration before. Do you have any faith the President can—and will—end this war in a politically and morally justiďŹ able way? Yes, I am very frustrated with the Obama policies in Afghanistan. I do acknowledge

that Obama as a candidate warned us that he believed the U.S. war in Afghanistan was the ‘good war’ and that he would increase U.S. involvement. On this one campaign promise he has followed through, despite warnings from many in the U.S. government— including his ambassador—and many outside the government. Contrary to Obama’s statements that the U.S. would begin withdrawal of troops in 2011, this administration is lengthening the war. In the past two months, the timeline of withdrawal has gone from 2011 to 2014— and now to no end in sight. I don’t believe the Obama Administration really knows what they intend to do in Afghanistan or how long it will take. In November 2010 Vice President Joe Biden said that the ‘drop dead date’ for the U.S. to turn Afghan security back to Afghans is 2014. While I was in Afghanistan in December 2010, U.S. Ambassdor Karl Eikenberry told the Kabul Times that Biden ‘is a colorful character’ but he is misinformed on how long the U.S. military will be in Afghanistan. Eikenberry said the U.S. will be there longer than 2014. Then, on January 11, 2011, Vice President Biden changed his comments and stated in a press conference with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, “The United States, if the Afghan people want it, are prepared, and we are not leaving in 2014,� and the U.S. would continue to provide aid and military training past 2014. I strongly believe the U.S. military—at the cost of $1 million per soldier per year— will be in Afghanistan for a long time, unless a U.S. President finally listens to the people of the United States who say, ‘bring the troops home.’ ■To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1431u

Oiling Their Plans Oahu’s Fort Shafter is home to an experimental Humvee that runs on a 20 percent biodiesel blend, according to a recent Honolulu Star-Advertiser dispatch. The piece is mostly regurgitated military talking points, but there’s a startling statistic near the end:

“Every day," the Navy said, "it consumes about 80,000 barrels of oil afloat and 20,000 megawatts hours of electricity ashore—rates that represent ‘strategic and operational vulnerabilities.’” To put that in perspective, according to the CIA World Factbook, there are 130 countries that use less than 80,000 barrels of oil per day— the amount that, again, is being consumed by one portion of one branch of our armed forces. Meaning it’s probably going to take more than a few veggie-powered armored vehicles to solve this problem. - JS

DULL THROTTLE Two hundred boredom “activists” gathered in London in December at James Ward’s annual banal-apalooza conference, “Boring 2010,” to listen to ennui-stricken speakers glorify all things dreary, including a demonstration of milk-tasting (in wine glasses, describing flavor and smoothness), charts breaking down the characteristics of a man’s sneezes for three years, and a PowerPoint presentation on the color distribution and materials of a man’s necktie collection from one year to the next. Another speaker’s “My Relationship With Bus Routes” also seemed well-received. Observed one attendee, to a Wall Street Journal reporter: “We’re all overstimulated. I think it’s important to stop all that for a while and see what several hours of being bored really feels like.”

WHAT’S THE LATE FEE ON A FORMER SEX WORKER? The Toronto Public Library began its “Human Library” project in November with about 200 users registering to “check out” interesting persons from the community who would sit and converse with patrons who might not otherwise have the opportunity to mingle with people like them. The first day’s lend-outs, for a halfhour at a time, included a police officer, a comedian, a former sex worker, a model and a person who had survived cancer, homelessness and poverty. The Human Library actually harkens back to olden times, said a TPL official, where “storytelling from person to person [was] the only way to learn.”

SAFETY LAST Elected officials caught violating the very laws they have sanctimoniously championed are so numerous as to be no longer weird, but the alleged behavior of Colorado state Sen. Suzanne Williams following her December car crash seems over-the-top.

t first glance, it seemed like any other art opening at the MACC. A long line for the pupu table, people in their fancy clothes drinking wine and milling about in the crowded Schaeffer Gallery, carefully hung art adorning the walls. But there was something different about this event. Something a little more more down to earth. This was “Legacy of Land,” a heartfelt reflection of something very real and important happening on our islands. This show featured a collection of works directly inspired by a decade’s worth of land conservation by the Maui Coastal Land Trust (MCLT)—a success story of a local “nonprofit that could.” There—on the walls and on the faces of the people standing shoulder-to-shoulder in the buzzing crowd of nearly 500—was the proof. For the last 10 years, led by executive director Dale Bonar and its board of directors, the MCLT has been responsible for facilitating the permanent protection of over 14,000 acres of land in Maui County from future subdivision and housing developments. These unprecedented protections are placed on the land “in perpetuity.” That means forever. Just days before the art show, the MCLT had announced its merger with three other land trusts across Hawaii, forming a unified front and “locking in” a future for public and private land conservation throughout the state. Kauai Public Land Trust, Oahu Land Trust, Maui Coastal Land Trust and Hawaii Island Land Trust are now a single entity, with Maui chosen as the headquarters for the new group. The new organization, the Hawaiian Islands Land Trust (HILT), promises to be a stronger, more efficient collective, a nationally accredited land trust whose efforts have resulted in 17,000-plus protected acres on 20 different sites. This includes important coastlines, rare and endangered habitat for native plants and animals, valued agricultural lands and rich historic archaeological and cultural sites. And that’s only the beginning.

IT BEGAN AT WHITE ROCK The MCLT story begins in the late 1990s, when a grassroots environmental group formed—led by local activists Susan Bradford and Lucienne de Naie—and worked to save Palauea Beach (“White Rock”) from development, raising funds and lobbying the County to buy the properties. While the group didn’t save the land, it proved to be a fortuitous meeting of minds. MCLT founding board member—and interim board president for the new Hawaiian Islands Land Trust—Helen Nielsen remembers the experience as a challenge and a catalyst. “Of course with each house site being sold off for several million dollars, they needed a lot of money, very quickly, and of course they couldn’t raise that money so fast,” she says. “But it was a lesson—to become more proactive in saving lands that are important.”

Afterward, the grassroots group began meeting to discuss and research how they could do better next time. They saw that there was only so much government agencies could do, and began to research how private nonprofit land trusts worked—a model that was becoming popular in private landowner-led conservation around the country. Simply put, land trusts use a variety of tools to help landowners protect their land. Sometimes, land trusts purchase the land themselves, with the vision of allowing open public access to the land. Most of the time, however, land trusts arrange, negotiate and enter agreements with private landowners who give up the development rights on some of their land, with the new land-use restrictions written into the deed. Land trust organizations are also responsible for working with state and private entities, raising money and doing the due diligence of managing these protections, conducting inspections and making sure the terms of the agreements are upheld. Each transaction is complicated and unique, and since the agreements are drawn up to each properties’ exact specifications, it’s arduous work. Together with Nielsen, Bradford and de Naie decided that forming a land trust might be the way to save land and significant sites on Maui. They attended a training conference offered by the National Land Trust Alliance (NLTA) to learn more about how trusts are structured. It’s there they met Dale Bonar, then an NLTA staffer and an Oahu-raised marine scientist who deeply understood the issues they were facing in Hawaii. “If you want to start a land trust this is what you have to do,” he told them. “Get the whole community. Get the native community, the developers, the politicians, the environmentalists, the landowners, everybody at the table.” Over the next couple of years, they “followed his advice to a T,” says Nielsen. Bonar sent information and examples from afar to help them get started while the group put the organization together, raised the money to get it off the ground and ultimately brought Bonar back to the islands as the first executive director—a position he’s held ever since.

FOREVER FREE From the beginning, the group had its eye on a list of potential preservation sites, one of which was 277 coastal acres between Waihe‘e Park and Waihe‘e Point that once housed the Waihe‘e Dairy. The area was an important Hawaiian historic site and the potential sale of the property—which had been slated to become a golf course

surrounded by high-end estates—had sparked a lively, at times divisive debate. With Bonar now on board, MCLT was able to arrange for multiple grants and private and public funding to purchase the land for $5 million dollars. That land is now a wetlands preserve, a fully accessible undeveloped shoreline and an open space education and restoration refuge. “[Waihee’s] got the whole spectrum of things that are really critical to Hawaii,” says Bonar. “Deep deep cultural roots, deep legendary roots. In legend, this is where the demigod Maui came to collect the coconut fiber that he used to make the net that he roped the sun with. There were ancient Hawaiian villages there—this is where they had the peace treaty after the Battle of Kepaniwai. The sand dunes there are the last major unmodified sand dunes in the state, and they’re probably the densest Hawaiian burials in the whole state. It’s got endangered birds, endangered plants. Waihee could have been turned into a golf course—they had the permits to do it, they could have gone ahead and done it. It was the economic cycle that kept that from happening. That was another one of those ‘stars lining up’ things. Right things, right time.” “There were a lot of people in the community who thought that land should be protected for many years,” remembers Helen Nielsen. “To see that we were able to get that kind of funding and to get the support from the community was a big jump for us.” Over the years, the land has become a sanctuary for native shore birds and a native plant restoration site with original lo‘i (taro farms) and loko i‘a kalo (combination taro-fish ponds). All restoration work is done by hand, out of respect for the dozens of archaeological sites at the refuge. Project manager Scott Fisher, land steward James Crowe and educational coordinator Denby Freeland-Cole often bring volunteer and school groups to visit, to work the land and to learn. “We have to be very careful with how we interact with our environment,” says Fisher. “We have to ensure that the changes we introduce are long-term beneficial to all of the living things, humans, animals, plants. We need to hold on to a vision of where we want to see the world in 50 or 100 years, for our children, for their children, generations down. We preserve what we find most important. When people value it, that is when we begin to actually turn things around.” While the land is privately owned and managed by the land trust, there’s an opendoor policy offering as much access as possible to the public. “People can walk in

any time,” says Bonar. “We open the gates during the day if people want to bring their cars in. If the fishermen want to go down there and fish over the weekend, they come by to get a key and sign it out so they can unlock the gates and bring their trucks in where they’re protected.”

DEALING WITH DEVELOPMENT As the state and county’s population continues to grow, development is a necessary fact of life. There’s no way to stop people from moving here and having children, and these people need homes. But that doesn’t mean we have to watch our open spaces morph into endless housing tracts. We can keep our agriculture, we can keep our coastlines, we can keep our vistas and views. Who can help us do this? Private land owners. People often complain about the more controversial things landowners do. “Did you hear? They sold off their land for the ultra-rich to build mansions!” “They’re going to turn that into a resort and golf course.” “That’s going to wreck the reef.” And it’s true, all those things have happened. When the recession hits the fan, landowners are forced to consider selling off parcels to developers. After all, the appraisal value of their land is based on what it can be developed in the future: Can there be more houses there? Can there be commercial activity there? These are the things—when you only consider money—that matter. But what we don’t hear about as often are the noble things some of our biggest landowners are doing—with the help of the MCLT—to set aside portions of their property with “conservation easements”— voluntary legal agreements between a landowner and a land trust that permanently restricts certain aspects of land use. With these arrangements, the land is still in the hands of the owner, but in a broader sense it becomes beneficial to everyone because of the resources and value that comes with conservation. Landowners, meanwhile, enjoy significant tax break incentives. Especially for families who are land rich but cash poor, these arrangements reduce estate taxes and allow the land to be passed down from generation to generation. It’s the very definition of a win-win.

ULUPALAKUA RANCH: A SUCCESS STORY In 2009, the Erdman Family of Ulupalakua Ranch donated an 11,000plus acre “agricultural easement” to the MCLT—the largest conservation donation ever made in Hawaii. Because the land will never be subdivided and will remain agriculture-only, the Erdmans’ gift has

major implications for our food security and for alternative energy solutions. Ranchers at heart, the Erdmans operate Maui’s second-largest cattle ranch and host Maui’s only winery and Dr. Art Medeiros’s revolutionary “Auwahi” native restoration project. Incorporated in 1956 by Pardee Erdman, the family are land stewards, “dedicated to preserving and protecting Maui’s open spaces.” Bonar says he’s honored to work with the Erdmans. “As it was before [our agreement], if there were to be new owners to take over the ranch, they could have developed it and said, ‘Sorry, we’re going to turn it into something.’ But [now] this land will always be conserved for ag, and that the Auwahi project will be able to go on for as long as it can be carried on. It’s a place that could very easily be turned into high-end homes with heart-stopping views.” But it won’t be—and that’s the Erdmans’ contribution. “I remember at the signing ceremony, Pardee’s grandchildren said, ‘When we grow up, we can be ranching this land’,” Nielsen recalls.

TAKING IT TO THE H.I.L.T. The land trust office on Maui— headquarters for the new statewide effort— is brimming with talented, experienced and dedicated people, including outreach director Sara Smith, operations manager Monica George and development director Kathleen Buenger. As a unified entity, HILT promises to bring private land conservation in Hawaii to the next level. “One of the great benefits for us as we bring the staff from all the islands together is, rather than having four executive directors who are having to do everything, it’s allowing us to individually specialize in the things that we’re individually best at.” says Bonar. “In addition, it’s more unified resources, it’s more attractive to people to know that there’s a larger, more sustainable organization. After all, we’re promising we’ll protect these lands in perpetuity, which is pretty audacious.” Nielsen, HILT’s interim president, gushes with pride about the future of the organization she helped build from the ground up. “I like to think ahead 100 years and consider the impacts we will have on the landscape then,” she says. “I expect the population to be quite larger, but with significant land conservation as well, helping to keep the high quality of life in the islands we all know and love.” ■

Noodle Guy Wilson Wu knows ramen—and we know we love it Ramen-Ya 275 West Kaahumanu Avenue, Kahului 873-9688

G

oing to Ramen Ya in Kaahumanu Center is the closest you can come to being transported to Japan via a bowl of noodles. Sit at the bar and spock the action in the kitchen, where more often than not you’ll see Wilson Wu at work. Wu is a noodle shop veteran, yet he never looks ruffled by the the hundreds of bowls coming out of out this small shop, which often has a line snaking out the door. I caught up with Wilson to find out how he keeps his soup hot and his tempermant cool.

I can’t eat your soup without making a loud mess. Is there a special noodle shop etiquette diners should follow? In a Japanese noodle shop you’ll find people making loud noises when slurping the noodles, and they hold the bowl to drink the broth. This is normal to show that the customer is enjoying the food—so you can slurp and make loud noises to your heart’s content. How do you make your broth? Good ramen chefs take pride in the creation of their broth. We use a combination of pork bone, bone marrow, chicken, mixed vegetables and our chef’s secret ingredients. Each pot of broth is cooked for over 12 hours. Another favorite on the menu are the gyoza. How do you make them? Can you reveal any gyoza secrets? We make our own filling from scratch and it’s freshly cooked to order. Our gyoza fryer from Japan is of authentic quality. It creates gyoza with a crisp, golden brown bottom and a soft top with a juicy filling. Were you born into the life of a soup

If you were eating g at a ramen shop, what hat would you be looking king for? A great bowl of ramen has h three h elements: l noodles that are fresh and cooked to the right consistency; broth that is tasty, slow and long cooked for full-flavor and nutrition; and a well-garnished appealing presentation. Due to Hawaii’s diversity of ages and tastes, we also provide a selection of table condiments to meet individual taste buds.

How does ramen differ from saimin? Saimin has a pre-packed powdered seasoning. The noodles are deep fried, frozen or dried. Good ramen noodles and broth are made fresh and have better nutritious value.

Cooking ng is my passion. When I had an opportunity to run a ramen shop for my relative about 10 years ago, I took this opportunity. I was able to fine tune my ramen concept while learning the business side of running a restaurant. Ramen-ya has been a result of my on the job training.

Black to the Future

Decades after its formation, iconic African group keeps right on harmonizing Ladysmith Black Mambazo Tuesday (January 25), 7:30pm, Castle Theater, MACC, $12 / $28 / $38

A “

dream came to me,� says Joseph Shabalala, founder of Ladysmith Black Mambazo. “Not just a dream in the wishful way, but an actual dream while I was asleep.� The inspired soundscape drenching that 1964 dream was exactly what he’d been searching fruitlessly for since the ’50s, while a member of other musical groups. Acting on this vision, Shabalala immediately reformed his group, then-named Ezimnyama (meaning “The Black Ones�). From the reverie of sleep

South African genres at the heart of the group’s music. These Zulu-rooted a cappella stylings carry contrasting translations— roughly, the powerfully sung former means “lion� and the latter means “walking softly� (and also refers to intricate choreography that often accompanies the songs). Both styles are said to have evolved into their modern manifestations in apartheid-era mining camps, where men turned to traditional vocals to seek solace during a time of extreme segregation and dystopian 20th century urbanization. In City Textualities: Isicathamiya, Reciprocities and Voices From the Streets, author Liz Gunne argues that “the making of song involves the shaping of new subjectivities... the making and re-making of a particular urban space.�

the group’s three albums following Graceland) remains one of the top-three requested episodes in history.

T

he group is also noted for incorporating Christian gospel hymns—a favorite with American audiences, especially. “Someone who follows the Zulu culture, it is the same as a Christian,� Shabalala told the Ithaca Times, though he’s always quick to add that the message of their music is not specific to any one religion. “It was just the way we grew up, so it goes together. We believe that you’re gonna reap what you sow.� Their latest album, Songs From A Zulu Farm, released this month, harkens to “a quieter, more personal past—a time of

an iconic sound was born. The global esteem Ladysmith Black Mambazo has garnered in the decades since, Shabalala says, “was never a dream a black South African could ever imagine.� The groups’ 1973 debut, Amabutho, earned gold album certification—a first for any black artist from South Africa. Now with more than 50 albums to their credit, and with the bulk of their career spanning years of political and social strife in South Africa, Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s music is indelibly tied to their country’s “sometimes joyous, sometimes troubled, but always rich and exhilarating� history.

E

ach word in the group’s name has meaning. “Ladysmith� is the name of Shabalala’s hometown, and he says he visits the farmland of his youth monthly. “Black� references the farm’s strongest animal, the ox. “Mambazo� means “axe� in Zulu, and symbolizes the chopping-down of barriers. Mbube and isicathamiya are indigenous

It was during the tumultuous mid’80s—still nearly a decade before the end of apartheid—that Black Mambazo gained international notoriety. Credited to Paul Simon’s seminal 1986 album Graceland, the group’s “message of peace, love and harmony,� despite all obstacles, now had a global spotlight—and resonated more powerfully than ever. They went on to perform at Nelson Mandela’s inauguration and shared the stage with the Prime Minister when he accepted his Nobel Peace Prize ’93. Their other accolades are befittingly voluminous. Black Mambazo has received 15 Grammy Award nominations to date—three of them wins, most recently in 2009. They’ve had onstage or studio collaborations with numerous legends including Stevie Wonder, Taj Majal, Joe Cocker and Paul McCartney. Their film credits run the gamut from Spike Lee’s Do It A Cappella to Marlon Brando’s A Dry White Season to Clint Eastwood’s Invictus. Even their ’88 appearance on Sesame Street (with Simon, who produced

youth and innocence.� Black Mambazo says that to call the album their most personal work yet is an understatement. In it, they endeavored to “recreate the idyllic world in which they once lived.� The CD’s 16 tracks are mostly traditional tunes handed down through generations. They speak to simple, practical social wisdom, evoking emotions that are often lost in our busy modern age. “Imithi Gobakahle� asks children to pay heed and return home when storm clouds loom; “Ekhaya� encourages teens not to move away from home before they’re truly ready. “It is such a joy for us to put these stories and songs together for our fans to enjoy, too,� Shabalala says. “These are songs from the earliest time in our lives [and] represent an important memory of our life. When we sing these songs, we’re singing songs from our history. Your roots are who you are.� ■To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1431ae

‘Green’ Up Seth Rogen takes a break from playing lazy stoners to play a lazy stoner superhero The Green Hornet ★★★★★ Rated PG13/111 min.

I

n 2007 I attended Comic Con, where one of the panelists was Seth Rogen. He was ostensibly promoting Superbad but was clearly excited about something else: The Green Hornet, a superhero remake he was writing with frequent collaborator Evan Goldberg. Rogen has a laugh like a bear with a stoner cough and is best known for playing lovable goofballs in films like Knocked Up and The 40-Year Old Virgin, but he was dead serious about this movie. Four years later we have the finished product which is one part spoof, one part faithful adaptation—and mostly quite good. Rogen—who seriously trimmed down for the part—plays Britt Reid, a selfdestructive rich kid who inherits his father’s newspaper business. He’s done nothing with his life, which has been a series of wellpublicized drunken parties and encounters with women whose names escape him. Reid

This seemed way hotter in Eyes Wide Shut. Where are all the ladies?

meets his father’s personal assistant, Kato (Jay Chou, a Taiwanese pop singer in his English-language debut), who is a brilliant inventor and martial arts master, and they decide to become masked vigilantes. Rogen showed much more range as an actor in the underappreciated Funny People, but his approach to this character is novel: Reid isn’t a Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark, where confidence, intellect and pathos play into becoming a crime fighter. Instead, this is what would happen if a talentless, overly cocky party animal became a superhero as

a large-scale prank and stole all the glory from his far more talented side-kick. This unique and amusing approach makes for a character-driven comedy that mines laughs from unexpected places. Chou is a charismatic Kato and his highly stylized fight sequences (complete with “Kato-vision” and way-cool CGI assistance), are a major highlight. So is Cameron Diaz, doing a lot with the brainy secretary role, and the impressive, exciting action set pieces. The letdown is Christoph Waltz’s silly villain role, which demonstrates how this

brilliant recent Oscar-winner is left stranded when the dialogue isn’t Tarantino-caliber. One thing the film does have in common with Tarantino: a lot of violence and profanity. It’s rated PG13, but it’s a bad bet for younger kids. The ace up the film’s sleeve was getting the visually innovative Michel Gondry to direct. Gondry helmed Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Be Kind Rewind. Here he crafts an offbeat action/comedy that is mildly stylish most of the way (with certain moments slowed down and sped up for effect) then lets loose with a stunning fantasy sequence near the very end. It’s not Iron Man, but it has its own winning mix of risky choices, a surprising ensemble of actors, a postmodern take on a comic book movie and breathtaking imagery. Where else can you see a car driven into a working elevator, two masked superheroes rocking out to Coolio, and Cameron Diaz in 3-D? ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1431f

Having a foot-long chunk of your large intestine removed through a an eight-inch incision in your abdomen is pretty hardcore. So is radiation and chemotherapy. But Spike Cassidy, founding member of hardcore punk band D.R.I. (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles), is a hardcore kind of guy. He endured all that and then some after being diagnosed with colon cancer in 2006. Cassidy has been cancer-free since ‘08 and says he’s “very happy D.R.I. (is) playing again—it has been far too long. We are looking forward to restarting up exactly where we left off.” Following the release of their last album, 1995’s Full Speed Ahead, the band said they would no longer record new work. While continuing to tour, the band has since retracted that statement, but have (pretty much) held true to its sentiments (save a single called “Against Me” which is generally unavailable). Though putting a stop to studio work—or being stopped by crazy cancer surgery—hasn’t held back Cassidy, Kurt Brecht, Rob Rampy and Harald Oimoen from international touring, Maui thrashers should still consider themselves lucky D.R.I. is making a stop on the West side, giving us a something to mosh about. The Valley Isle’s own Order of the White Rose and Minor Setback opens. Tickets available at groovetickets.com. 667-7400; underworldevents.com

Beats Bazaar founder Adrian Blackhurst calls his new global fusion dance party “a postmodern bazaar.” Replete with DJs, live music, sizzling eats, in-action artists and unique vendors, the launch of this new event is sure to be spectacular. Each monthly installment will feature different dance performances from belly dancers to silk aerials, and musical styles from Balkan to electro-swing. Inaugural headliners include the gypsy-soul-funk sounds of one-woman-band Maesyn (pictured), plus DJs Plush and Sweet Beats. Ten percent of the ongoing event’s door will benefit local charities, and 100 percent of proceeds from this Saturday’s event will support the Mystic Island Festival—four days of mind bending merrymaking slated for January 26 - 31 (mysticislandfestival.com). Blackhurst is modeling Beats Bazaar after the success of Vancouver, British Colombia’s Beats Without Borders events (which he also co-founded in 2004), and aims to bring artists and art-lovers together in the name of “diversity in sound, food, crafts and cultures—a celebration of our human beingness.” For more information, e-mail bioniclove@gmail.com, and visit beatswithoutborders.com to watch a two-minute promo video. 572-0220; casanovamaui.com

Mars Arttacks

Wine & Dine Divine

Sunday (January 23), 6:30pm, Paia Tattoo Parlor, free

Multiple Locations

If you’re hip to the buzz on artist Ghalib ElKhalidi (which you should be as we’ve waxed poetic about him before—most recently in last week’s cover story “20 for ‘11: Twenty people who are shaping art, education, food, politics and more on Mauiâ€?), you already know any showcase by this visual stunner is not to be missed. Because, as we said last week, “Where the roads within your mind bifurcate between what’s human and what’s beast, what’s male and what’s female, what’s science and what’s fiction—that’s where Ghalib El-Khalidi’s artwork exists.â€? The debut of his ďŹ lm project Looking for Mars—featuring music by Cory Brittain—represents the culmination of over two years in tedious work, which he calls “a short, puppet-performed motion picture exploring the social and biological constructions of masculinity.â€? El Khalidi has been guarded about leaking any of his flick in advance of the screening, but (after a healthy dose of begging and pleading), we were privy to a sneak peek snippet: a wicked dance sequence featuring moves by Maui’s own Jessica Dungans, choreographed by Paia Tattoo Parlor co-owner Leah Honma. That little bit alone is proof that El-Khalidi continues to up the ante in ways that will incite wet dreams from any art aficionado. Also, be sure to arrive at the parlor early to explore their current exhibition “Broken Resolutions,â€? which features 10 artists from the Valley Isle to the East Coast. paraitattooparlor.com; 575-8515

Need to satiate your urge to imbibe fab wine and fine dining? Some of Maui’s top chefs are giving you two opportunities to do so this week. First to flex his creative culinary muscle, on Monday (January 24, 6:30pm), is Chef David Paul in his monthly Vineyard Dining Series. Spotlighting McIntyre Vineyards’s Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Merlot from California’s Santa Lucia Highlands, it doesn’t take a sommelier to see that Chef Paul’s pairings are brilliant. Multi-course dinner highlights include tomato sashimi, diver scallops with roasted fennel, and duck confit. [662-3000; davidpaulsislandgrill.com] On Wednesday (January 25, 6pm), Chef Alex Stanislaw and the Plantation House Restaurant host Seghesio Family Vineyards, with their expert representative Edd Lopez on hand. If you missed (or want to re-up on) any of the Plantation’s other pairings—like their bacon-themed extravaganza—don’t miss this chance to be wowed by the prowess of Chef Stainslaw. Plus, Seghesio Vineyards is always full of surprises. The family behind the operation has been planting grapes in Sonoma Valley since the late 1800’s, but didn’t begin bottling their own wine until the ‘80s. Notables in the vineyard’s lineup, to be featured in the pairing dinner, include Pinot Grigio, Sonoma Zin, Barbera and Venom. [669-6299; theplantationhouse.com] Jen Russo

I

n case you haven’t heard, American Girl’s 2011 Girl of the Year, named “Kanani”—the first-ever Hawaii-inspired doll from the iconic company—is modeled after 9-year-old Maui girl Jessica Griffiths. To this, I have only two words to say: You’re welcome. Because as beautiful, talented and deserving as Jessica may be, this whole shebang is ultimately the result of my 1993 petition to American Girl for a Hawaiian doll. OK. Maybe that’s a slight exaggeration. (OK, OK. It’s definitely a total exaggeration.) But seriously, when I was Jessica’s age I used to stay up way past my bedtime carefully penning and re-penning exhaustive lists of product suggestions. My secret motive was to barter my ideas for a free doll. See, by the time my frugal parents came around to the idea of dropping at least a Benjamin on the basic package (i.e. the $100 starting price for an 18-inch cloth-bodied doll), I was on the cusp of middle school and almost done with my doll-playing days. I finally got my very own American Girl—a pick-your-look-alike who I named “Mariah” because that duet with Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men was all the rage amongst the fifth graders— but she was quickly relegated to “Anu’s Time Capsule,” buried deep in the recesses of Mom’s closet. Sharing the cardboard box casket with Mariah is “Pua”—her beloved, off-brand predecessor. Pua was a $20 “Mulatto Girl” from Woolworth’s, the kind where you can’t take out the pigtails without revealing spotty hair plugs. Mom and I crocheted clothes and bought miniature dishes from Savers, Dad built a canopy bed frame from wood-trim molding, sized for a bed pillow mattress and, in keeping with American Girl’s trademark storybooks, I wrote and illustrated several volumes in The GREAT Adventures of Pua series. Pua’s parents were archaeologists. One day, while helping them in the lava field, she found a poi dog puppy with “ears the color of chocolate and softer than velvet” and named him Sammy (coincidentally, that was also my dog’s name). Back home in Kula, Sammy lead her to a secret lava tube where she found coconut husk dolls lodged in the crevices. Against her better judgement she took one, igniting the fury of Pele, and an

otherworldly battle ensued, replete with Night Marchers, heroism and whatnot. (Upon reflection, maybe it was my emphasis on aboriginal mythology that kept American Girl from getting hip to my pitch. Too much Babysitters Club and Goosebumps, me thinks.)

I

n all honesty, I’m a little perturbed about where the American Girl company has gone in the years since I stopped sending suggestions. In ’98, founder Pleasant Rowland sold out to Mattel for a cool $700 million. Since then, the brand’s taken on a decidedly Barbie-pink bent and lost a lot of its allure. What I loved about American Girl was the poignant historical significance, the way muted, real-life palates translated to the dolls’ wee worlds: “Kit” fished and carried a tin pail; Victorian “Sam” pressed flowers and baked gingerbread; “Molly” sewed pillows stuffed with pine needles at summer camp; “Abby” saved scraps of thread to make her momma a birthday present. Sure, most of these dolls still exist, but they’re lost in the neon of modern material girls. So while I’m thrilled for beautiful little Jessica—and though Kanani’s modern day story of selling shave ice and paddle boarding is good and well, I guess—I’m mad that the world isn’t ready for a Hawaiian character indicative of real Hawaiian character, as opposed to tourist-friendly clichés. Of course, the success of one of our own is worth putting aside bitterness and rejoicing with a chorus line of jump kicks. I just have one thing to add, for American Girl girls or girls with Woolworth’s versions: This time of play is finite, so play as long as you can. And when you create, create thoughtfully, because the stories you make up now will forever be a part of the story that makes up you—even when the dolls are long-resigned to cardboard boxes in Mom’s closet. ■

HOROSCOPE

sign.language.astrology@gmail.com +

Sign Language AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Here’s the problem with screwing up: sometimes the punishments for your mistakes never end. Let’s say it’s something serious that puts you in prison. Even after you’ve served your time and paid your debt to society, you might continue to suffer for the error you made. This can happen on a personal level, too. Putting in your time is something you shouldn’t shirk. You could even put in a little extra out of the goodness of your heart if you’re feeling especially penitent. But at some point, enough’s enough. When enough isn’t enough for someone else, though, it may simply be time to cut your losses and move on. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Hopefully you got through the holidays without encountering that ugly sense of entitlement some people wear when they don’t get what they think they deserve. Although forgivable (but still unpleasant) in children, it’s a misery to deal with in an adult. It also needs to be corrected—an exceedingly tricky thing to do. However, letting bad behavior stand—or worse, be rewarded—is a horrible idea. Since you’re the only one in a position to conceivably say or do anything about it, please do so. Be gentle—for your own sake as well as theirs—but don’t be cowardly. Just do it. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) I’m judgmental when people cheat at games. Of course, it’s “just a game,” but cheating invalidates the whole point of playing. I just don’t get it. I’ll win fair and square, or I’ll lose. Obviously, not everyone shares my philosophy, but I suspect most of you Rams are in my camp. Although your competitive spirit may have driven you to cheat once or twice in your life, you probably quickly realized how empty and lame such victories are, and how bad you feel afterwards. Someone you know may have yet to arrive at such a revelation. Help them along, won’t you? TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Sometimes, we just get stuck. But life is change. No matter your predicament, you can get unstuck from it—although perhaps not in the way you’d prefer or expect. It might be time to consider much more creative and surprising routes out than those you’ve tried so far. Of course, part of being stuck is having a hard time concocting such escape routes. Therefore, it may be time to throw your problem into the lap of an inspired friend or two—then take what they suggest to heart, even if it’s not something you particularly want to hear or do. You want to get unstuck, don’t you? Just do it.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) There’s nothing more relaxed-seeming than a sleeping housecat. And yet they can spring into action and full alertness on a moment’s notice. Leos are like that, too. Lazy and relaxed much of the time, but when faced with the proper stimuli or motivation, you big cats will come alive like nobody’s business. Recognize that about yourself. You don’t have many gears. In fact, you mostly only have two. You’re either languishing in neutral or gunning the engine full throttle. That’s both asset and drawback. The key to making it more strength than weakness? Acknowledge it.

QUIZunderstood ANSWERS: Answers to questions on page 8 1. Sen. Jesse Helms of North Carolina 2. Because the sun “enters” the ocean in the West; Akau (North), Hema (South), Hikina (East)

3. A.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) If someone invented a pair of smart jeans that subtly reconfigured themselves to flatter the body of whoever wore them, they’d be instantly rich. If the jeans could automatically downplay a fat ass (or accentuate a flat one), make legs look longer or more slender, and so on, they’d be incredibly popular. Clothing may not yet be that intelligent, but people certainly are. Want someone to want you around? Be that perfect pair of jeans. Make their flaws look better and highlight their assets. Only you can, because only you can see them so clearly. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Librans generally try to avoid conflict, but that gets you into trouble at least as often as it keeps you out of it. In some cases, disagreements are quite simply inevitable. When you try to stay out of the fight, it sometimes festers or simmers until it becomes so big that you can’t escape it anymore. A small confrontation at the get-go would have averted a much bigger, more dramatic blow-out further down the line. That’s the case this week. The argument you’re avoiding can only get bigger and worse. Have it out now—or wait until later when the fallout will be at least ten times as bad. Your choice. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Cynicism, masquerading as realism, can really hold you back right now. Hey, you don’t need to become Pollyanna all of a sudden. But your “can’t-do” attitude isn’t helping things one tiny little bit. Wouldn’t you like to be pleasantly surprised by a success you didn’t think possible? Since such a thing is definitely in the realm of possibility—provided no one’s being a negative bitch—I say buckle down and get it done. If you can’t force yourself to believe in a positive outcome, at least shut up and keep from dragging down those who do.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Never underestimate the power of that little social lubricant popularly known as booze. Although often destructive, ugly, and gross, in reasonable quantities it can actually improve life by helping people overcome pointless inhibitions and insecurities. How many wonderful unions had their origins in a fortuitous glass of wine, without which one or the other would never have had the courage to make the first move? It might be just the catalyst you need this week to help make something happen. I’m not talking about getting trashed— and obviously if you have problems with alcohol you’ll simply have to find another strategy—but a drink or two to boost your resolve or make you more spontaneous could actually change your life this week.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC.21) It’s relatively easy to learn the basics of the English language. Becoming truly fluent, and employing its many nuances and colorful idioms, however, is something few non-native speakers ever achieve. These phrases are often nonsensical, illogical, and downright preposterous. And yet they’re wonderful, too. There’s a person in your life who fits this description. It’s easy to get to know them superficially; but truly understanding them means embracing the wonderful absurdity they represent—something very few are even capable of. You happen to be one of these lucky few. If I were you, I’d dive in without hesitation.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Don’t be too rigid. Refusing an invitation to something you really want to go to because your name was misspelled on it would be unbelievably persnickety, wouldn’t you agree? Unfortunately, Cancers are occasionally prone to such outrageously over-the-top moments of fussiness regarding seemingly inconsequential details. Usually, in retrospect, you can see how silly you were being, but in the moment it’s often very hard to recognize or acknowledge. However, having been forewarned that you may be just that ridiculous this week, you’ll be more likely to avoid or curtail such incidents. Pay attention! If you have even half a clue that you might be getting too worked up over something small, back down immediately.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Eating healthfully is a tremendous challenge for most Americans. Given the prevalence of truly unhealthy foods and portions, as well as the popularity of terrible eating habits, that’s no surprise. Unfortunately, unhealthy eating is especially a problem for you Capricorns. That’s not to say you’re especially likely to get fat—that’s more genetic than astrological—just that you may have a hard time finding a proper and healthy balance for your body. It’s simply not high on your list of priorities—certainly not as high as it should be, and you know it. This is a good week, however, to reassess and reorganize that list. Make sure staying healthy ends up at least a few spots higher.
