Inouye Gets PATRIOTic When Osama bin Laden died in a fortified compound in suburban Pakistan, our decade-old war on terrorism didn’t die with him. U.S. officials were quick to make that point—and it was punctuated last week when Congress voted to extend portions of the controversial USA PATRIOT Act, including open-ended wiretapping, courtordered searches of business and library records and surveillance of suspects with no known ties to terrorist groups. The bill—which President Obama signed remotely from the G-8 Summit in France—sailed through both the House and Senate, but enjoyed support from only one Hawaii lawmaker: Sen. Dan Inouye (pictured at right). Inouye issued no official statement about his decision, which ran counter to the “no” votes cast by Rep. Mazie Hirono, Rep. Colleen Hanabusa and Inouye’s longtime colleague, Sen. Dan Akaka, who stood behind the original PATRIOT Act in October 2001 along with every Senator except Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold.

If you’ve ever thought Hawaii exists on a different planet, you’re right—sort of. The terrain in parts of the state is similar to that of Mars and the Earth’s moon, making it an ideal staging ground for space-program testing. Hence a new partnership between UH Hilo and NASA, trumpeted last week by officials on all sides. “Hawaii has been part of America’s space activities from the beginning of the space program, when Apollo astronauts trained in the islands for their historic missions to the moon,” Gov. Abercrombie said in a statement. “This partnership with NASA will broaden educational and employment opportunities for our local families and bring dollars into our economy.”

It’s easy to laugh as fools are parted from their money—until you’re the one playing the fool. The victims of five Maui residents indicted last week on fraud charges learned that lesson the hard way. According to the indictment, between 2008 and 2010 Mahealani VenturaOliver and her husband John Oliver, along with Pilialoha Teves, Leatrice Lehua Hoy and Peter Hoy, held a series of seminars under the guise of a Native Hawaiian group called the Hawaiiloa Foundation. The seminars, which promised to teach participants about Hawaiian history and property rights, were allegedly used to push a phony debt-relief program, for which the defendants charged a fee of $1,500 to $10,000. In all, Hawaiiloa made off with almost $500,000. (Ventura-Oliver and Oliver are

EH BRAH!

NEWS OF THE WEIRD HOME A MOAN Ellenbeth Wachs, 48, was arrested in Lakeland, Florida, in May on a complaint that she “simulated” a sex act in front of a minor. In a March incident, Wachs, after receiving medication for her multiple sclerosis, was awakened at 8:30am by her 10-year-old neighbor boy’s clamorous basketball game, near Wachs’s window. After unsuccessfully beseeching the boy for quiet, Wachs—hoping, perhaps, to make a point about noisy neighbors— began moaning out the window (while remaining out of sight), “Oh, John! Oh, John!” over and over at increased shrillness as if in the throes of orgasm. The basketball-playing stopped, but the incident was not a teaching moment. The boy’s father, Otto Lehman, called the police and filed for an order of protection against Wachs.

AND BRUTALITY IS ‘ENHANCED FORCE’ The Sergeants Benevolent Association, fighting back in April against corruption charges (namely that its NYPD officers often “fix” traffic tickets for celebrities, high officials and selected “friends”) claimed in a recorded message reported in The New York Times that such fixes are merely “courtesy,” not corruption.

TERRORISM IS AS TERRORISM DOES An anti-terrorism drill scheduled for Pottawattamie County, Iowa, in March, which was to practice community coordination after an attack by a hypothetical

white supremacist group angry about illegal immigration, had to be canceled. The sheriff said callers claiming to be white supremacists were angry at being picked on as “terrorists” and threatened a school in Treynor, Iowa, with an attack that closely resembled the kind of imagined attack that would have preceded the simulated drill.

CRAPPY SERVICE In April, officials in the northern Swedish city of Angermanland temporarily shut down the operator of a colonic cleansing service, and issued fines because it was not up to code. It had insufficient restroom facilities, thus requiring some of its clients to cleanse their colons in front of other clients.

INCOMPETENT CRIMINALS (1) Joseph Price, 61, left the PNC Bank in Okeechobee, Florida, empty-handed on May 6 despite having passed the teller a note demanding a “sack full of cash.” Price hadn’t brought a sack with him, and the teller said she didn’t have one, either. He was arrested seven minutes after leaving the bank. (2) Joseph Brice, 21, of Clarkston, Washington, was indicted in May on one count of having manufactured a bomb in 2010. Brice inadvertently called attention to himself by ordering his bomb components under the name “Timothy McVeigh.” ■

You thought you knew me, Kihei chick, thought I was just another dick. Or maybe just another loser, driving around in my Maui cruiser. You’d use me up then toss me out—that was your plan, I had no doubt. But to your surprise I won your heart, we were best of friends, never apart. Went bike riding, surfing too, I took you shopping, called you “boo.” You got to thinking, “Marriage maybe? Could I be with this man, have his baby?” Then one morning you awoke to find I’d vanished like a puff of smoke. You cried, I’m sure, and cursed as well, prayed that I’d go straight to hell. But remember my dear, before you blame: don’t hate the player, hate the game.

hirley Kaha‘i gets very upset when people say the preservation project at Moku‘ula is taking too long. Sitting behind her desk in the modest Friends of Moku‘ula offices at 505 Front Street, the executive director gestures to her bookshelf. “Look at all these binders, these reports and these volumes of papers. We are here every day moving the project forward.” Kaha‘i admits the process can be discouraging, but wading through red tape takes time. “The last three years my focus has been to get activity out there,” says Kaha‘i. “It took 18 months to get permission from the burial council.” The project, restoration of the ancient island of Moku‘ula and the surrounding wetlands, was set in motion more than 20 years ago when Friends of Moku‘ula founder Akoni Akana was encouraged by Mike White of Kaanapali Beach Hotel (now a County Councilmember) to do something about the almost-forgotten historical site. Lori Sablas of Kaanapali Beach Hotel recalls the moment: “I was appointed by Mike White as the director of the Po‘okela Program and Akoni was one of the hotel’s kuhina, ambassadors of aloha. We did a class called ‘Lahaina historical tour’ where we taught about the history of this area. Akoni so eloquently delivered the story of Moku‘ula, his passion was obvious. Mr. White challenged us to explore restoring it and we lobbied the County of

sites including Moku‘ula and the pond Mokuhinia. From the beginning of his quest to his untimely passing earlier this year, Akana realized that generating revenue was always going to be a challenge. A key piece to the funding puzzle has been involving the Army Corps of Engineers and the University of Hawaii Anthropology and Archaeology departments. Akana and Janet Six, professor of anthropology and archeology at UH Maui College, worked together to brainstorm the class at Moku‘ula that Six runs today, building on the earlier Bishop Museum digs. (MauiTime did a story on the groundbreaking class in March 2010.) The project has attracted talent from afar,

including New York University professor Pam Crabtree, esteemed archaeologist Doug Campana and students from Boston, Berkeley, Idaho and across the nation. The objective of Six’s excavation is to find and define the perimeter of the Moku‘ula

island. That will allow the Army Corps of Engineers to create a “buffer” around the island and work on the restoration of the wetlands. Army Corps rep Cindy Barger says they’re still in the planning phase, analyzing the unique challenges of the area and looking at the existing and future condition of the site. “Under the Water Resources [Development] Act of 2007 we have a lot of hoops to jump through,” says Barger, citing a federal law aimed at overseeing flood-control and certain environmental projects. Barger says the Corps hopes to finish collecting soil samples and testing for contaminants this summer. At that point they’ll complete their planning phase and move on to environmental assessments. The biggest hurdle the Friends of Moku‘ula faces is funding to cover longterm goals, including landscaping, parking and an 1,800 square-foot hale. The last infusion of funding, a $30,000 grant from Hawaii Tourism Authority in 2009, won’t get them all the way there. Jerry Kunitomo, a former Friends of Moku‘ula boardmember, explains one of the facets of Akana’s vision for Moku‘ula: “One day residents and visitors [will] tour the restored site and become stakeholders in her history. When that happens, Lahaina’s historic presence would forever be protected... The culture would drive the economy and the benefit would be the economy driving the culture.” ■

Friends of Moku‘ula will hold a fundraiser and tribute to Akoni Akana on Saturday, June 4, at the Old Lahaina Luau with a guest appearance by Maui recording artist Keali‘i Reichel. Call 667-1998 for more information To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1450u

aseball, the cliché goes, is a game of inches. But for the members of Na Koa Ikaika Maui, it’s really a game of miles—as in the thousands of miles that separate them from their rivals in the independent North American League and the rest of the baseball world. Take Garry Templeton, the team’s new manager. In another life, Templeton was an All-Star, switch-hitting shortstop for the St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Padres, considered one of the top middle infielders in the game. Templeton spent 15 seasons in the Major Leagues. Since retiring in 1991 he’s bounced around, coaching in the Anaheim Angels’ farm system and then for various independent teams including, last year, the Chico Outlaws, who defeated Na Koa to claim the league championship. Now he prowls the dugout at Wailuku’s Iron Maehara Stadium—a world (and ocean) away from his glory days but still with the unmistakable

He’s 32, long in the tooth by baseball standards, but doesn’t hide his desire to get back on the Major League radar. “I’m trying to get picked up,” he says plainly. “The championship is always the thing, as a team. But as an individual goal, I’m trying to get picked up... In this league, that’s everyone’s goal. It should be. We don’t get paid enough to go, ‘oh we’re content with this.’ Every single guy here— on our team, the other team—wants to get picked up.” “It could be the worst [Major League] team,” he adds. He laughs—but you can tell he means it.

B

eing a fan of a minor league or independent pro team is nothing like following one of Major League Baseball’s 30 clubs. First, of course, there’s the quality of play. Where MLB can stock its franchises with the best of the best, farm systems and especially regional leagues are populated by an eclectic mix of

THE MOST COMPELLING THING ABOUT INDEPENDENT LEAGUES IS THE PLAYERS WHO WILL PROBABLY NEVER LAND AN ENDORSEMENT DEAL OR EVEN APPEAR ON A BASEBALL CARD, BUT WHO KEEP PLAYING UNTIL THEIR BODIES WON’T LET THEM ANYMORE. young, raw talent and older guys chasing fading fantasies or merely playing for, to recycle another cliché, the love of the game. Then there’s the turnover. It’s a paradox, but having players who are too good can actually hurt the team; the brightest stars will eventually be spotted and snatched up by Major League affiliates. Last year at midseason, Na Koa lost Keoni Ruth, its third-baseman and RBI leader, to the Philadelphia Phillies. It was a dream come true for Ruth, but a big blow for Maui. A month later the team lost its closer, Jamie Vermilyea, to the Toronto Blue Jays’ system. Na Koa still managed to finish the season 56-26, good enough for first place in the South Division. And, after finishing near the bottom of the league in attendance, Na Koa packed Maehara Stadium for its one and only championship-series home game against Templeton’s Outlaws. Despite a disappointing season-ending defeat, it was clear Mauians had finally noticed: we have a professional baseball team. Na Koa changed owners during the offseason amid financial instability and the league itself reshuffled, merging with the United Baseball League of Texas and Illinois’ Northern League. But ultimately, pro baseball returned to the Valley Isle. The new owners, Harris Tulchin, Bob

Young and Leroy Pettigrew, were on hand at the May 26 home opener to throw out ceremonial first pitches. And though Na Koa went on to lose 9-2 to the Lake County Fielders, the stands were mostly full of enthusiastic spectators. (Some were very enthusiastic, like the guy who brought a bell and rang it when the Fielders were at bat, shouting, “It’s your auntie on line one! It’s your girlfriend on line two!”) Sure, there were reminders that we were

a long way from Yankee Stadium. The balky scoreboard didn’t start working until the fourth inning, and then only intermittently. There were bald patches on the grass. The mic cut out a few times during “The Star-Spangled Banner” (though it worked flawlessly for “Hawaii Pono‘i”). But there were also beer and hot dogs and burgers, brush-back pitches and pickoff throws and home runs careening through the night (off the bats of the Fielders,

Outfielder Mark Okano says his goal is simple: “Get picked up” by a big league affiliate.

unfortunately). In short, there was baseball.

R

oughly translated from Hawaiian to English, “Na Koa Ikaika” means “the mighty warriors.” And you’ve got to have a warrior’s spirit to play independent baseball. The pay is low and the perks are virtually nonexistent. Forget sprawling penthouses and flashy new cars—these guys ride the bus, and most live with local volunteer host families. (As of this writing several players were temporarily housed at the Maui Beach Hotel awaiting placement.) Ask them, though, and to a man they’ll tell you it’s worth the sacrifice. “It’s my life. I’ve been playing ever since I was five years old and I never missed a season,” says 26-year-old Baldwin grad Gered “Moch” Mochizuki. Like Okano, Mochizuki’s goal is to get picked up by an affiliated organization. But he says he’s also looking to “get better and progress as a baseball player.” As a shortstop, he calls the arrival of Templeton “a godsend.” “He told me a lot of things within two weeks that [have] definitely gotten me ready to play this season,” he says, adding that Templeton has encouraged him to utilize his speed and be “a spark plug on this team.” While he’s dreamed of playing pro

ball all his life, Mochizuki says he never imagined it would be on Maui. “[I want to] represent what kind of talent we’ve got out here and definitely represent where I come from,” he says. Local success stories like World Series hero Shane Victorino of Wailuku and Kulaborn Kurt Suzuki—both currently starting in the Majors—surely fuel the hopes of guys like Mochizuki. Other Na Koa players, meanwhile, have tasted the big time—and found it to be bittersweet. A three-sport star from Monterey, California, outfielder J.J. Sherrill was drafted out of high school by the Cleveland Indians. He advanced as high as AA, but after seven seasons and a series of injuries he was cut loose in 2006. Now 30 years old with a wife and children, he’s playing for his fifth independent club in as many years. “It’s

different when you’re growing up. You’re naive to a lot of things in the world. You think you’re invincible,” he says. “[Now] baseball is just an opportunity for me to come out and be a part of a team, continue to further my career and play as long as I can. If I have the opportunity to get picked up again, that’s a positive. If not, I can just learn more about the game so I can give back to the kids around my area and the people that I end up coaching in the future.” Sherrill says he’s enjoyed his brief time on Maui, visiting Hana and the West side, and that his wife and two kids (ages 12 and seven) will be joining him in July. “It’s been beautiful,” he says. But don’t mistake Sherrill’s reflective tone for complacency. After lining out sharply in the opener against Lake County, he tossed his helmet on the dirt in disgust. It was one of the hardest hit balls of the night, and he

had nothing to show for it.

O

ver the years, the former Golden Baseball League has attracted some big names. After stolen-base king Rickey Henderson ran out of Major League teams willing to take a chance on a 40-something outfielder, he signed with the San Diego Surf Dawgs, then of the GBL. (The team supposedly offered Henderson $1 million to enter the Hall of Fame wearing its colors.) Last year, former Chicago Cubs phenom Mark Prior had a stint with the league’s Orange County Fliers as he looked to rebound from multiple arm injuries. And this year, ex-slugger and infamous steroid whistleblower Jose Canseco is the player/ manager for the Yuma Scorpions, who make their first and only trip to Maui July 12-18. Undoubtedly the intrigue will put butts

in the seats, and there’s nothing wrong with that. The team employs all kinds of gimmicks—including, on opening night, an on-field hot dog eating contest between innings—to get people interested. But in the end, the most compelling thing about the North American League and other leagues like it are the players who will probably never land an endorsement deal or even appear on a baseball card, but who keep pushing, keep playing until their bodies won’t let them anymore. Some might call it admirable; others might call it foolish. But no one can deny it takes unflappable dedication—to the game, and to the dream. Then again, as Sherrill puts it: “I can’t really complain. I mean, I get to play baseball.” ■

like to think of Choice Health Bar as my food reality check. So much of what I eat doesn’t pass the freshness and vitality test, yet I scarf it down anyway and expect my body to function well. At Choice there is no compromise. Kathryn Dahm and Emily Kunz havee designed their menu of smoothies, acai bowls, juices and health elixerss to optimize seasonal fresh produce,, superfoods, housemade almond milk ilk and coconut water, plus additives that hat nourish your body and mind. Entering the casual dining room,, I perch myself at the bar and perusee the menu, sprinkled with playfully named drinks: Insane Maca-Chino, Wow Maui, ManGoes Coconuts, Green een Buzz Bowl and Force Field to namee just a few. Someone sitting on a nearby sofa remarks, “Mmm, the Chronic madee into the bowl is the bomb.� Translation: you can change any of the smoothies—including the Chronic, a blend of hazelnuts, hemp protein, banana, coconut, cacao nibs, vitamineral greens and mint—into an acai bowl, and any bowl can be made into a smoothie. In fact, unlike some places Choice welcomes special orders and customizations. I found myself a bit lost among the options, so I started out with the Wow Maui, a fresh tropical fruit smoothie medley of papaya, pineapple, strawberries, banana and orange juice. Like all of Choice’s smoothies it’s it s thick, icy cold, all organic—

This smoothie comes off of the health elixier menu and is filled with maca, cacao, shilajit, ashwagandha, lucuma, banana, Tahitian vanilla, coconut and almond milk. I dive into a sample the color of cafe au lait; thick and creamy, it tastes like a mocha only better. Dahm, who previously worked as general manager for Honokowai Farmers Market, has an encyclopedic knowledge of superfoods. I ask her about shilajit: what is it and why should we be eating it? “Shilajit is nectar of the mountains. It is the most mo amazing dirt on the planet,� she says. “It’s pla insane minerals, but not a plant or o an animal. It is an ancient ancien medicine like a lot of the other superfoods.� She adds ad that we “can learn so much from the ancient ancie way of healing using superfoods like spirulina, goji berries, spiru maca and bee pollen.� Kunz, Ku who also formerly worked at the form Honokowai Farmers Hono Market, Mark runs the produce end of things.

Drink Local

It’s time for bartenders to dive into the locavore movement

“Locavore.”

What does it mean? A decade ago I would have guessed some sort of prehistoric beast. Back then I was equally ually unaware of the hipster language used d by locavores, trendy phrases like “slow ow food,” “eat local” and “farm to table.”” Yet as I slowly learned the dogma of this esteemed trend, I quickly became me one of its most adamant supporters. Some even accused me of soapboxing. g. In the current culinary landscape, however, it seems nearly impossible to eat out without being assaulted byy this popular philosophy. Every top-tier er dining establishment in the country has embraced the ideology by now. The idea that a vegetable as basic as a beet can taste better when eaten just after picking has revolutionized the restaurant business. The problem now w is that it is no longer a novel conceptt and I am also no longer interested in n professing its benefits. I’m over it. Every chef gets it, theyy all understand. Let’s move on. Except bartenders. There is one aspect of the farm to table concept that still needs to be promoted. Let’s call it “farm to glass.” Old school bartenders have horror stories about the ingredients used in the past. Neon green sweet-and-sourourflavored liquid gushing out of a bar gun and into your margarita. An orange liquid d that faintly tastes like Tang coming out of the same bar gun behind it. Plastic bottles of low-quality junk strewn across the bar. All of these products, of course, manufactured in God-knows-where and shipped for your convenience at reasonable prices. It’s amazing that this was the scene at even the best bars less than ten years ago. It’s even scarier that many still witness it. One of the most impressive accomplishments of the locavore lifestyle is its profound effect on the ingredients used in quality bars. These quality establishments that promote the farm to glass concept have thrown away the Rose’s Lime Juice and removed the red-colored liquid from their bar gun lines called “cranberry” and replaced them with fresh, locally sourced goodness. In Hawaii, if you’re pouring pineapple juice imported from the Mainland you are certainly not on the cutting edge. If you can’t source local lime juice, you definitly missed the boat. At the best bars, farm to glass bartending goes further than simply providing fresh juices and garnishes. Many bar managers have taken pages from the chef’s notebook when sourcing quality ingredients for cocktail creation. A bellini made with

freshly picked peaches in California. In New York, mojitos that utilize fresh mint from the herb garden of the restaurant. Hawaii bartenders have even more opportunity to push the local ingredient concept. Our climate and location affords us the opportunity to amaze the rest of the country. The same coconuts, starfruit, lavender and lilikoi that transform everyday restaurants into Zagat-rated destinations must find their way into bartenders’ shakers and into your bucket glass. The change in Hawaii’s elite bar programs is slowly becoming more and more noticeable. Recent examples include fresh Kula strawberries in a daiquiri and Chinatown ginger root for a Moscow mule—two relatively boring cocktails transformed by local ingredients. Margaritas made with the Kalamansi limes from Auntie’s tree are enough to change your life. Hawaii’s singular ability to push the envelope of farm to glass bartending is exciting, yet still underused. Now I have a new thing to soapbox about: drinking at your “local” bar. ■

uring my sophomore year at Ka‘ahumanu Hou High School, I was on the wrestling team and can say, with complete certainty, that I was the worst wrestler in the history of the sport. In addition to being an inept athlete, I wore a shiny purple singlet, which made my lack of ringside skill both hilarious and ghastly. Though it’s an experience I’d probably do best to forget, I still have a souvenir from my wrestling days: a team T-shirt featuring two Greco-Roman wrestlers and the phrase “Civilized Mayhem.” Those words popped into my head while watching Win-Win, a little comedy with a big heart. Paul Giamatti stars as Mike Flaherty, a small town lawyer in New Jersey who also coaches a wrestling team with a reputation for losing. Along comes Kyle (Alex Shaffer,

and an amusing depiction of high school sports. The wrestling scenes are funny and well-choreographed, but the film stays rooted in reality. Just when the ending feels too tidy, the screenwriters throw in a terrific, honest closing scene that reveals how everyone in the story must pay for their actions, righteous or not. Giamatti—a reliably wonderful actor—

makes Mike’s strengths and weaknesses relatable, even when he’s hard to root for. Amy Ryan is excellent as his headstrong and whip-smart wife and Shaffer, a real life high school wrestling champ, is utterly authentic, both on the mat and as a sweet but introverted, emotionally wounded kid. Bobby Cannavale is hilarious as Mike’s goofball best friend, as is Jeffrey Tambor as a clueless co-coach. The subplot involving Kyle’s druggie mother (Melanie Lynsky) and his not-all-there Grandpa (Burt Young) weigh the last act down with melodrama, but they don’t diminish the movie. Writer/director Thomas McCarthy also made The Secret Agent and The Visitor, understated, character-driven comedies that avoided formulaic Hollywood contrivances. He’s repeated the trick here—finding humor in small, quiet moments and gently reminding us that life can be hard and scary. As someone who once donned the purple unitard, I can relate. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1450f

The Wedding Present have been making music for more than 20 years, but this album stands out. The reason is simple. The infamous Steve Albini—the man behind bands like Big Black and Shellac, who just recently called Sonic Youth an embarrassment—produced it. Albini left his mark. The band’s melodious pop tunes are replaced by thumping drums, heavy bass lines and wild screeching. Albini drowns out much of front man David Gedge’s lamentations, and many of the songs break down into an uncontrollable mess of feedback, noise and distortion. In “Dalliance,” this glorious mess overwhelms the entire song. The only feature untouched by Albini is the desperation in Gedge’s lyrics. Seamonsters tells of failed relationships, bad break-ups and unfaithful lovers. “Heather” is classic Gedge (“I tried to call, you’d just gone out/We’ve got to talk, you going to be about?/Oh you don’t have to tell me where you’ve been/It’s bad enough I know you were with him.” His limited vocal range makes his desperate characters all the more pathetic. This combination of British melancholy and Albini’s lo-fi power makes Seamonsters one for the ages. “Suck” is indie rock perfection. The fuzzy guitars and the pounding drums create a dark miasma underscoring a tale of equally unhealthy co-dependency. (“No, you’ll go away, of course that’s not what I want/Oh I’ve missed you/That’s what I thought you’d say but you must know that I can’t/Resist you.”) The beautifully destructive noise rising out of your speakers at the end of the song is simply stunning and will leave you wanting more. - Ben Lowenthal

Skip To My Ekolu

Lights, Camera, Action!

Friday (June 3), 6-8:30pm, Market, Main and Vineyard Streets, Wailuku; free

Saturday (June 4), 7-9:30pm, Iao Theater, Wailuku; $7/$15/$30

Mildly melancholy weather made for a mellow Spring at Wailuku First Fridays, but Summer’s now in full swing and June’s WFF events are coming out skanking. You might have Ekolu’s seventh album, Simply for Love, on repeat, but in the way that a book is always preferable to the movie, this live show comes with the promise of a “a treasure of sounds and lyrics that you will cherish for the rest of your life.” Ekolu takes to the Maui Thing stage thanks to Boze and Karey Oura Kapoi, who invite you to celebrate the grand opening of their new Main Street shop, Pride Ink Tattoo (@PrideInkTattoo on Twitter). Also, the Hawaii Jaycees’ third annual free concert—featuring ukulele virtuoso Derick Sebastian and Roots Judgement—will surely bring down the house at the historic Iao Theater. Further on Market Street, Visibly Shaken returns to the Wailuku Banyan Tree Park, plus Joel Katz on steel guitar and the mainstay sounds of Gene and Shea Argel. May’s debut of Body Alive Yoga & Movement’s monthly “Exhale” program was a huge success, so don’t miss peeking in on their delightfully avant-garde, multi-sensory artist presentations at their new upstairs studio. Of course, there’s plenty of treats to buy and ono grinds to try, and the conscientious boozer will be happy to know this month’s beer garden benefits Na Leo Kako‘o, Hawaiian Immersion Kula Kaiapuni. 878-1888; facebook.com/wailukufristfriday

In Hawaiian, “huliau” means “turning point” and implies a better direction, says Maui Huliau Foundation volunteer Lehua Simon. The non-profit organization formed last year—thanks to the inspired efforts of (also volunteer) executive director Malia Cahill— and is full of innovative spunk, with a mission “to promote environmental literacy and leadership among Maui’s youth through community-based educational experiences.” Screening six shorts created by students 12 to 18 years old, from a dozen different Maui schools, projects from their environmental filmmaking club (now in its second year) culminate this Saturday (June 4) with the foundation’s first Huliau Youth Environmental Film Festival. (One flick features Jason King, the all-solar powered dude profiled in MauiTime’s 2011 Green Issue.) Keiki engaged in the program have spent 15 Mondays at the Hawaiian Canoe Club, working in small groups and learning everything from on-location filming to editing and production. 757-2100; mauihuliaufoundation.org

Grouch Surfing

Gypsy Soul

Saturday (June 4), 10pm, Casanova, Makawao; $20 advance / $25 door

Sunday (June 5), 6pm, McCoy Studio Theater, MACC, Kahului; $25/$30

Underground hip hop fans, rejoice! Wrapping up a more than 30-show nationwide tour, Corey Scoffern—aka The Grouch— returns home to the Valley Isle. Bringing “positive messages over unforgettable 808 drums and a melodic slump California is known for,” The Grouch takes the stage with “dynamic super duo” Zion I, promoting their 2011 release Heroes in the Healing Nation—a record our Album of the Week reviewer Ben Lowenthal calls “hip-hop for people who like to think,” and a “feel-good album that avoids being sappy and proves you can be tough and sensitive at the same time.” Keeping with their do-gooder theme, The Grouch and friends have partnered with charities across the country, and proceeds from Saturday’s shindig at Casanova will benefit Japan tsunami relief efforts. (Fans would do well to get their tickets ASAP, as The Grouch has held but a handful of on-isle concerts over the last two years, each of which has swiftly sold out.) Plus, Oahu’s Tassho Pearce joins the bill, alongside Revolutionary Habitat and special guest-host Mountain. 572-0220; casanovamaui.com / zioniandthegrouch.com

It was six-string samurai Tom Conway who first introduced me to gypsy jazz, when I was a teen under his tutelage. The music mesmerized me—a melodious waterfall of meticulous notes that are at once smooth and scintillating. Later, I discovered Woody Allen’s Sweet and Low Down, and earned an even greater love of the story behind this string styling. Allen’s bittersweet flick follows Sean Penn as Emmet Ray—a prodigious picker who’s always a step-behind his elusive idol, the much-mythologized gypsy jazz guitar god, Django Reinhardt. (If you’ve seen the movie, I’ll ask you this, “Want to go to the dump and shoot some rats?”) Celebrating gypsy jazz—in honor of Reinhardt’s 100th birthday—The Arts Education for Children Group (AECG) presents a special show, “Django Would Go!” this Sunday. Headlined by the John Jorgenson Quintet, whose namesake is heralded as “the U.S. ambassador of gypsy jazz,” the concert will also feature Conway, plus The Hot Club of Hulaville. 242-SHOW (7469); mauiarts.org

I

f it wasn’t already ofďŹ cial, it is now: I’m a bitch. And, apparently, a “phenomenalâ€? one. I’m sure my friend Chuck Light—who on Memorial Day took me on my ďŹ rst-ever motorcycle ride—was just being nice when, after our adventure, he called me a “phenomenal back seat rider.â€? I interpret this to mean, “Kudos for managing to not fall off.â€? But, being the kind of person with an all-too-short list of things I’m good at, I’m eager to add any bullet points I can. (For those keeping track at home, so far I’ve got: Making a fool of myself; drinking coffee; occasional hyperbole; and now, riding bitch.) Chuck and I rendezvous in the parking lot of the Upcountry Longs and he hands me a full-face helmet. My belly is all nerves, clinching like a Venus Fly Trap, so I’m blathering even more than usual. I may end up a decent bitch, but I start out as a scaredy cat. With a punch to my crown, I smoosh on the helmet. Chipmunk Cheek Champion. “I feel like I’m going into space,â€? I say. I thought it was funny, but Chuck doesn’t laugh. My ego hopes it’s because he can’t hear me through the mask. It must be lonely, being an astronaut. Kicking my leg out like I’m mounting a horse, I wonder how my ass is supposed to ďŹ t on that tiny ledge of a back seat. As I wiggle in and my feet ďŹ nd the foot pegs, Chuck says, “You only have to remember one thing: When I lean, lean with me.â€? Just like that, we’re off on our way, Southbound on Kula Highway. Hell yeah! With every inch I feel two-wheel addiction creeping like a clinging vine. “Hot dang! I gotta get me one of these!â€? I yee-haw in my head. The journey is straight for a ways, until we pass the Harold Rice Memorial Park and the road starts to curve like it’s every woman. Is he leaning? Should I lean now? Am I leaning too much? Am I leaning at all? This one rule is turning out to be a lot of work. But poor Chuck has the worst of it, hauling my ass around while managing a cool, speedy ride (I don’t think my own dad would have been so carefully conscientious— which says a lot.) So I try to think of it like dancing (I don’t dance, but I’ve seen it on TV), where one person leads but synchronicity is the key. And speaking

of dancing, I can’t ďŹ gure out where to put my hands. His shoulders? Waist? It’s like I’m a ďŹ fth grader confusedly ad-libbing at Sadie Hawkins. (Hating myself for not having read up on bitch protocol, I decide holding onto his waist is less prudish.) But back to me being phenomenal. I may not be, but the world is, and it’s especially so on a motorcycle. Enveloped by everything—the air above, the earth below—the experience is just short of ying. My beloved stomping grounds—roads I’ve ridden more than any other—are rendered anew. I’m mad at myself for not having done this sooner. Perhaps it’s unabashed exhilaration, but roller coaster wind whips the tears right out of my ducts. We go so far as the concrete-skirted ravine in Kahikinui, just as the road starts to get bumpy. Pausing to stretch, I ďŹ nd getting off a bike is like getting off a trampoline. Every moping step sighs for the woefulness of mere walking. On the way back, we stop at the Ulupalakua Winery for a tasting, a take-home bottle and an ill-advised cigar. Leaving, I squish on the helmet—this time more deftly and with a little less tourniquet-ing of my cheeks. It’s streaked with crimson and saffron bug guts; I imagine each blot as a head on a stake outside a road warrior’s fortress. For one of a few times in my life, I feel bad ass. A tourist couple looks on as we ride off, their envy no ďŹ gment of my imagination. So long, bitches! â–

QUIZunderstood ANSWERS ...to questions on page 7

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) You deserve to treat yourself! You earned all that you’ve got coming to you, at least in theory. If I were you, though, I’d wait to celebrate until your plans have actually come to fruition. There’s no better way to jinx something than by making a big deal about it before it’s actually happened. Go ahead and make a list of all the stuff you’re going to do once everything’s come together—then be patient. It’ll almost certainly unfold as you’ve planned, but there’s no harm in waiting until it does before you pop open the champagne. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Even if you think your advice will fall on deaf ears, or that your offer of assistance will be ignored, you shouldn’t withhold them. Censoring yourself because of the reaction you imagine isn’t helping anyone, including yourself. You’re probably right about what’s going to happen—but you never really know until you try. This isn’t about your ego or potentially hurt feelings, it’s about someone who needs something you’re able to, and should, offer them. Steel yourself for the rejection or negative reaction you’re dreading, then be kind enough to put yourself out there anyway. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) It always comes back to the golden rule regarding treating others how you’d like to be treated. Your intentions are there, but it’s sometimes challenging for Lions to truly put themselves in someone else’s shoes (in the moment, anyway), and really follow through on this philosophy. Many times in the past, conflicts, misunderstandings, or just plain screw-ups have happened because you didn’t grasp where the other person was coming from until long after the fact. Clearly, it’s something you could stand to work on. Luckily, this week you’ll have multiple opportunities to practice, so stay present and pay attention. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) The Rapture didn’t happen! I guess buying 2,000 billboards nationwide to advertise the Second Coming is a way to get a lot of attention, but not necessarily results. May 21st came and went and Harold Camping’s sick prediction that 200 million true believers would ascend to heaven while the rest of us would suffer and die from earthquake and famine never came true. Of course, most of us chuckled at the preposterous logic that led to his conclusion in the first place—but never forget that numerous people chose to believe despite how ridiculous (and twisted) it was. Remember, not everyone is as rational as you; this week’s events should drive that point home, hard. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Surprisingly, lying to someone’s face “to be nice” is never a particularly good idea—yet people, particularly Libras, do it all the time. That’s not to say I expect you to suddenly become confrontational and start speaking your mind like one of those crazy Leos. You don’t have to tell someone you don’t like them. Just walk away, or keep things professional. What I want you to avoid doing is telling someone you like them when you really don’t, or similar lies. That’s just going to lead to messy hurt feelings all around. You don’t need to be brutal; just be clear. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Your drive and focus are immense assets, but ironically they can stand in your way when they’re pointed in the “wrong” direction; that is, at things that ought to be lower priorities than some of the other stuff you’ve got going on. In your single-minded drive to achieve these goals, you let other, probably more important, tasks go uncompleted. This week, you need to reorder your priority list, and it’s not something you’re likely to be able to do well on your own. Enlist the aid of someone wise who knows you well, and at least mostly trust their advice. That’s not likely to be easy for you, because it’ll mean letting some stuff go that you’d rather not. Try anyway.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC.21) Hey, slut! I mean that affectionately. But let’s face it; by the time most Sagittarians get around to settling down, they’ve been around the block a few times. That’s no big deal—or it shouldn’t be. It might prove to be a bit of an obstacle or source of insecurity for a potential partner, though. While it would be nice if they could just chill out, forget about your respective pasts and focus on the present, that’s easier said than done. This problem has a very simple solution, though: make the extra effort to reassure them that all your vast experience has only served to help you figure out what it is you really want: them.

1. Ice cream 2. C. 3. 106

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) As frustrating as it might be to have someone worrying about you needlessly, the worst thing you could do is respond to their concern with frustration or bitchiness. Remember, it’s only because they care, and “care less” is not a request they can honor. It’s nice to have people give a shit about you. Their worries are of course unfounded and silly, but employing goodhearted humor will more successfully deflect their concerns or any potential follow-ups than a snappish comment ever could. Next time someone annoys you with their good intentions, crack a joke instead of biting off their head, okay? AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Let bygones be bygones. Once someone’s “done their time,” whatever that means in this particular situation, continuing to punish or penalize them in any way is just plain cruel. It’s time to really and truly let them off the hook, work through whatever feelings you may still have, and move on, so they can, too. If you can’t do that, get the hell out of the way. You’re allowed to have your feelings, of course, but you’re not allowed to keep inflicting them on others. That’s just not fair, and this week your deadline is up. Time to let go, or back off. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Sure, there’s a lot of bullshit out there. But if we’re honest with ourselves, much of our own unhappiness is a direct result of our (largely unconscious) efforts to sabotage the situation, or see the negative things we “want” to see. Frequently it’s just a matter of not being present; you don’t trust this new, (actually trustworthy) person because someone else burned you in the past—consequently, you set up a whole lame cycle of distrust and suspicion based on nothing but a memory involving someone else! That’s some unnecessary misery right there. This week, you may have a few chances to undo or circumvent bad habits like these. Seize them. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Many people have met friends, spouses, and one-night lovers online. But living your life through a computer screen can get rather isolating, especially for you Rams. Get out of the house as much as possible this week. Throw yourself into a variety of activities interacting with many different people. This is about plunging into the unknown, getting some much-needed adventure. Some of it might turn out to be lame. That’s a risk. Some of it might be great, though. Regardless, you need a dose of real life, and a chance to meet people face to face before you find out their proclivities and measurements, or reveal yours. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) While it’s okay to occasionally humor someone who sees the world in a distorted way, and even try to help them, getting caught up in their delusions is a very bad idea. Beware of buying into any part of their baggage this week. They may even demand it, but this is when keeping your Taurean feet firmly planted on solid ground will work to your advantage— luckily, a strength of yours. Most people are reasonable and logical, but everyone has a blind spot or two. This week, helping someone navigate out of theirs might be a role that only you can play.
