Halloween, Health Care & Hellfire HYPER LOCAL There are a lot of numbers associated with Maui Land & Pineapple’s decision, announced this week, to cease pineapple operations: 97, the number of years the company produced pineapple on Maui; 285, the number of people who will lose their jobs; $115 million, the amount ML&P’s agricultural arm has lost since 2002, according to a statement by interim CEO Warren Haruki. But numbers don’t tell the story. We’re witnessing the last remnants of the plantation era being swept away (on Kauai, Gay & Robinson formally shut down sugar cane operations, leaving HC&S standing alone), while the industry that ultimately took its place is also in a freefall. This is a significant moment, a turning point. Trouble is, no one knows what’s around the bend…. Last week I promised there’d be more twists in the Sol Kaho‘ohalahala residency dispute. I’m a man of my word: On October 30, the County Clerk approved Kaho‘ohalahala’s Lanai voter registration, a blow to those claiming the Councilman doesn’t live on the island, but instead resides in Lahaina. (Kaho‘ohalahala produced evidence—travel and bank records, an application to pay utilities, testimonials—that he wasn’t able to present in his unsuccessful appeal to the Supreme Court.) In an October 31 Maui News story, attorney Ben Lowenthal, who represents Kaho‘ohalahala, drew an analogy between his client’s most tenacious critics and people who continue to question the legitimacy of Obama’s Hawaii birth certificate. Coincidentally, I compared the “birthers” to unflushable turds in this space last week. I asked Lowenthal if he was really equating the two groups (I didn’t mention the turd thing). His reply was hard to argue with: Some people refuse to change their minds, “even in the face of evidence.”… It’s official: Halloween in Lahaina is going out with a whimper and not a bang. Hints of civil disobedience didn’t materialize, and with the crowds much thinner than usual, the most drastic sentiments expressed were boredom

and disappointment. That’s what the Cultural Resources Commission wanted from the beginning, but it’s giving them way too much credit to say they single-handedly killed the

Institute (PJI) titled “Obama Signs Hate Crimes Bill Into Law.” PJI, for those new to the party, is an organization that offers legal defense to (often) intolerant religious people,

party (the economy and the County are at least co-conspirators). Bottom line: the “Mardi Gras of the Pacific” is now more like Ash Wednesday….

LOCAL Hawaii residents: you can stop paying attention to the national health care debate now. OK, that’s probably physically impossible unless you’re looking at real estate in or around the underside of a rock. But, if Senators Inouye and Akaka have their way (and all indications are they will), whatever compromise-ridden piece of omnibus legislation our fine lawmakers in Washington spit out, it will have zero direct impact on the Aloha State. See, back in 1974, the Hawaii Prepaid Health Care Act mandated that employers provide insurance to workers who log more than 20 hours a week, which puts us far ahead of the national pack, even 35 years later. Whether that’s good, bad or some weird combination of the two is hard to say….

NOT LOCAL Hey, why don’t we reach into the alwaysoverflowing intolerance grab bag and see what turns up? Oh look at this: a press release from our old friends at the Pacific Justice

OVERHEARD “Every time he sings I kind of want to divorce him.” - Woman to her friend at Baldwin Beach in Paia

and claims to promote religious tolerance in the process. (Logic is not their strong suit. They’re more the fire and/or brimstone types.) To quote directly from the release: The bill “will now provide heightened penalties and greater federal involvement in crimes against homosexuals and transgender persons.” Hmm. Obviously PJI isn’t sending me this to say they think it’s a good thing, but are they really going to say it’s a bad thing? Couldn’t they stay on the sidelines, and agree that even if gay people are bound for the lake of eternal fire, perhaps it’s a good thing to discourage people from committing crimes against them while they’re sinning here on Earth? The answer, as you’ve surely divined, is no. More from the release: “Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute, testified before Congress against the hate crimes bill in 2007. Dacus commented, ‘It is fundamentally unjust for the government to treat some crime victims more favorably than others, just because they are homosexual or transsexual. This bill is an unnecessary federal intrusion into state law enforcement authority, and it is an unwise step toward silencing religious and moral viewpoints.’” I had to read that twice, because at first it almost sounded like Dacus was saying that trying to prevent people from beating up and killing gay people would be the equivalent of “silencing religious and moral viewpoints.” Oh, but then I read it again and I realized—holy Beelzebub, that’s exactly what he’s saying. Good work, PJI. You keep fighting for the right of True Believers to harass, belittle and—hey why not—use violence against people they fear. Meanwhile, the rest of us will be over here using our brains and stuff. Don’t mind us, we’re going to hell anyway. We’ll meet you there. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/coconut16

Swine Flu: WTF is Going On? Questions are swirling around the H1N1 vaccine. We turn to Maui’s Department of Health officer for answers

T

ake an enigmatic, pandemic disease, add overwhelmed doctors, wary patients, rampant misinformation and a limited supply of vaccine and you’ve got a recipe for confusion, fear and, ultimately, panic. As H1N1 (still better known as swine flu despite a concerted name-change campaign) makes its predicted autumn comeback, we’ve vaulted past confusion and seem to be teetering somewhere between fear and full-blown panic. The effort to vaccinate as many people as possible— especially those in identified high-risk groups—has kicked into gear, but questions persist about the safety of the vaccine and possible side effects. Meanwhile, local health care providers are wrestling with limited supplies and spotty communication from federal agencies. First, to the question of safety. On its Web site, the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says the H1N1 vaccine is “expected to have similar safety profiles as seasonal flu vaccines, which have very good safety track records.” Dr. Lorrin Pang, Maui’s district officer from the state Department of Health, says that explanation “doesn’t quite hack it.” Simply because two vaccines are made under the same conditions doesn’t make them identical, says Pang. As an example, he compares two hypothetical batches of brownies, one made with chocolate and the other made with dirt. In both cases you’d cook the brownies to eliminate contaminants from raw eggs, but the result would still be two very different desserts. “In the end,” he says, “dirt is dirt and chocolate is chocolate. When you change the target protein, that requires safety testing.”

a swine flu outbreak led to a large-scale vaccination campaign, cases of GuillainBarre Syndrome (GBS), a paralysis-inducing nerve disorder, were linked to the vaccine. Pang says that in ’76, cases of GBS appeared within weeks after the vaccine was

SWINE FLU FAQ WHO IS MOST AT RISK? Health care workers (because of the risk of spreading the disease) and pregnant women and people with chronic or underlying health conditions (because of a higher incidence of hospitalization and death) WHAT ARE SOME KEY WARNING SIGNS? Shortness of breath, inability to keep down food and liquids, sudden drowsiness, irritability or disorientation or a “rebound fever” (a fever that goes away and comes back) IS A VACCINE AVAILABLE? Yes, though supplies are limited and high-risk groups are being prioritized

Supply, not side effects, is the problem now.

administered and were relatively rare— about 500 above the “background,” or what would be expected without the vaccine. In the end, Pang and most other health care professionals agree, the risks of contracting swine flu outweigh the potential for vaccine-related problems. Pang says he’s been frustrated by the government’s reluctance to release the

Asked if the vaccine is safe, Dr. Pang says he “feels comfortable now,” but that it took “a lot of headache, a lot of name-calling: 'Who are you? Why do you want to know?'” Studies—initiated after the new version of the disease appeared—have been done to determine the safety of the H1N1 vaccine. Pang says the results are encouraging. “We have a person in Honolulu who is in touch almost every day with CDC asking, ‘Any side effects?’ And the answer is ‘no,’” he says. That doesn’t mean, Pang adds, no side effects will pop up. In 1976, when fear of

Another concern associated with the vaccine is the use of themerosal, a mercurycontaining compound that’s been linked— controversially and inconclusively—with autism. Mercury is used to kill bacteria and preserve the vaccine, meaning it’s

results of studies as they become available. “I’ve been on a mission,” he says with a wry laugh. “And I got yelled at: ‘The data is preliminary, the data’s not final.’” He says he “feels comfortable now,” but that it took “a lot of headache, a lot of name-calling: ‘Who are you?’ Why do you want to know?’ I think the public wants to know, too, and if they don’t come out with [information], the public has a legitimate reason for asking.”

found in vials holding multiple doses. Single, themerosal-free doses tend to run out faster since people request them, Pang says. He says Hawaii recently received another batch of mercury-free doses, but that, again, federal communication has been lacking. “They’re not telling us,” he says. “It’s supposed to come in weekly and then they say, ‘None this week.’ So [we’re] kind of living from day to day. It depends on the manufacturers, too. They had a manufacturing error and had to throw out a whole batch, which set us back.” Pang likens the situation to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when FEMA issued checks to hurricane victims but didn’t tell them if more assistance was on the way. “They gave us a bunch [of vaccines] and told us the next bunch would come, but they didn’t know when or how much. So everyone’s sitting around looking at this bunch,” he says. “But it’s wrong not to give it.” Pang says even some people in the most high-risk groups—including health care workers—haven’t gotten the vaccine. “There’s so little to go around, we’re fighting amongst ourselves,” he says. The good news is that H1N1 is still not a major killer. Though deaths have spiked this season, compared to the 1918 swine flu outbreak that killed tens of millions of people worldwide, the 2009 incarnation

IS IT SAFE? Tests have shown no significant side effects so far. Some of the doses do contain mercury, which has been inconclusively linked with autism WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION? The Hawaii Department of Health (hawaii.gov/health) and national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (cdc. gov) are good places to start is downright tame. But, Pang says, it’s too early to heave a sigh of relief (even if you carefully cover your mouth). “If you look at the deaths [in the 1918 outbreak], in that first July, 5 percent occurred. Then it was very quiet until late October, and between late October and about the second week of January, 60 percent of the deaths occurred. So there was a little blip, then quiet, then tons of deaths. Now I don’t know if it mutated to a more virulent strain or if it was just more contagious, but something happened. It’s only a study of one [outbreak], but you’d be a fool not to pay attention.” Not exactly reassuring. But probably the best we’re going to get in these uncertain times. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/news16

Fishy Business “Tuna farm” dreams of big profits—but for whom?

T

he average Hawaii citizen has to go to great lengths to influence the outcome of big business proposals, especially when those seeking permits and approvals hold expectations of multi-million dollar returns. So it was that I found myself on a sunrise flight to Honolulu, ready to ask the State Board of Land and Natural Resources to rule on the side of reason and against a big-bucks scheme. For a decade, Hawaii has given a push to the ocean aquaculture industry, bolstered with research, funding and legislation that enables state waters to be leased for private “fish farms”—a distinction unique among all 23 states bordering the ocean. Two ocean aquaculture businesses currently operate in Hawaii: Kona Blue Water Farms off the Keahole-Kona airport, raising amberjack branded as “Kona Kampachi,” and Hukilau Foods, a Grove Farm subsidiary cultivating moi in cages two miles off Ewa Beach. On this Friday morning, the BLNR would hear a request to permit a third facility, Hawaii Oceanic Technology’s (HOT) ambitious, high-tech plan to raise 6,000 tons of ahi (skipjack and bigeye tuna) in 12 untethered, submerged Oceanspheres three miles off the Big Island’s Kohala Coast. The projected output is four times the amount of ahi consumed yearly in all of Hawaii. HOT expects 90 percent of its finished product to be flown to markets in Japan and the Mainland. HOT’s CEO Bill Spencer, a self-described “serial entrepreneur,” is also President of the Hawaii Venture Capital Association. “We want Hawaii to be the Silicon Valley of open ocean aquaculture,” Spencer told the board. With a growing human population and rapidly declining fish stocks in the world’s oceans from industrial over-fishing, there is a great need for more aquaculture, said Spencer. Scientists think we need to double the $20 billion worldwide industry in the next 20 years, Spencer said, adding, “This is more pressing than global warming.”

B

ut the lack of data on the immense 165’ x 165’ Oceanspheres—to be self-propelled through an Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) system—drew concerns from Board members and testifiers alike. Life of the Land’s Henry Curtis, one of Hawaii’s most eminent renewable energy advocates, told the board about his experience evaluating OTEC systems. “Frankly,” said Curtis, “I can’t make head or tails of this technology. How can you describe the impacts if it is theoretical and has not been discussed?” Board member Sam Gon III of The Nature Conservancy asked if there is a working

prototype of the Oceansphere. Spencer replied that similar technology is used by the oil industry and the military. Two testifiers revealed intricate details of the complex ecosystem design of traditional Hawaiian coastal fishponds.

placed in the pond to discourage theft and to cull out diseased fish. Honu (turtles) were placed in the pond to eat one kind of limu (seaweed) and to fertilize another variety that the fish ate. “But they have not sought our advice on aquaculture,”

One testifier emphasized that Hawaiians developed their fishpond systems over the course of 2,500 years, through careful observation of nature and its processes. “But this is a science fair project to them,” he chided. To mitigate disease, cleaner fish such as wrasses were brought in, said cultural practioner Michael K. Lee, who held up a photocopied document of a lease for a coastal loko i‘a (fishpond) held by his great, great grandfather. Lee emphasized that Hawaiians developed their systems

Gumapac said. “Whose technology should we be using?” Gumapac also produced a 1904 U.S. Supreme Court decision written by Oliver Wendell Holmes, stating that Native Hawaiians have vested fishing rights. The ocean should not be privatized for personal

clear: fish in cages are protected from the macro-predators needed for disease control, but not from pathogens. “The important difference between sea cage culture and terrestrial animal culture is that, in the ocean, animal wastes and pathogens can travel for many miles to infect other animals, whereas on land wastes fall to the ground.” Frazer also stated that tuna, as top level predators, have high demands for fish oil and fish meal in pelletized food, a practice that is depleting stocks of baitfish (herring, menhaden, anchovies, etc.) across the world’s oceans. Land-based proteins like soy are not suitable, said Frazer, because the digestive systems of tuna are not adapted to an herbivorous diet. Big Island residents and testifiers claimed HOT had not made good-faith efforts to meet with the community and hear their concerns. Spencer replied that their final Environmental Impact Statement was over 900 pages long, “with more than 500 pages of comments and responses.” “I would rather work with them than oppose them,” testified Rocky Jensen, “but they didn’t come to us.”

over the course of 2,500 years, through careful observation of nature and its processes. “But this is a science fair project to them,” chided Lee. Kale Gumapac related his experience restoring a Big Island fishpond built by family member David Malo. “The technological understanding handed down from our kupuna is amazing,” said Gumapac. He said kaku (barracuda) were

gain, said Gumapac. “These vested rights still exist today.” In written testimony to the BLNR, UH professor Dr. Neil Frazer stated: “Among scientists that do not have financial ties to aquaculture there is now general agreement that a sea-cage is a pathogen culture facility and that wild fish have declined everywhere industrial sea-cage farming has taken hold. The epidemiological reasons for this are

hen my turn came, I shared with the Board that two existing aquaculture operations pay a yearly total of $3,500 for their ocean leases. “What portion of the $120 million in HOT’s expected revenues would be paid to the state for their exclusive 247-acre lease?” I asked. Moreover, as a beneficiary of Act 221 high tech credits, HOT would avoid paying more revenues. Twenty-two jobs could be created, according to the EIS, with half of those going to scuba divers and laborers. The Board’s decision came around 3:30pm: a 4-1 vote to approve an incremental approach to deploy three cages initially, then to report back with their results before nine more net pens could be launched. Gumapac and Lee stood and announced their intentions to file a contested case hearing, and the meeting recessed, the audience spilling outside like a collective exhale. My route back to Honolulu airport took me past the state Capitol, where nearly a thousand people were gathered to protest the first Furlough Friday, as Hawaii’s children got an unfortunate day off to pay for budgetary shortfalls. Influencing our decision-makers is seldom an easy task. But it’s the price we must pay to achieve an outcome we all can live with. ■

THEY’VE GOT TISSUES Procter & Gamble announced in October that it will once again create and host a public restroom for the holiday season in New York City’s Times Square as a promotion for Charmin tissue. Last year’s installation was merely specially outfitted toilet facilities, but this year P&G will upgrade by hiring five bloggers (“Charmin Ambassadors”) to “interact” with the expected “hundreds of thousands of bathroom guests” and write about their experiences with Charmin tissue on the company’s Web site (and include “familyfriendly” photographs). P&G is calling the campaign “Enjoy the Go.”

SEX THERAPY (1) The U.S. Tax Court ruled in September that William Halby, 78, owes back taxes because he improperly tried to deduct $300,000 over a five-year period for “medical” expenses that were merely purchases of sex toys and pornography and payments to prostitutes. Halby said the activities relieved his “depression,” in that he had no other sexual outlets. The court reminded Halby (a retired New York tax lawyer) that prostitution is illegal in New York. (2) James Pacenza, 60, of Montgomery, N.Y., who was fired by IBM in 2003 after he continued to visit an Internet sex-chat room during work hours, renewed his challenge to the termination in September, telling a federal appeals court that his Internet sex “addiction” is a result of post-traumatic stress disorder from combat in the Vietnam war.

September, he sued the bank in federal court in New York City for inadequate customer service concerning his checks’ routing numbers and asked for damages of “1,784 billion, trillion dollars” plus an additional $200,164,000. Judge Denny Chin gave Chiscolm 30 days to better explain his complaint but finally dismissed it on Oct. 23. (BBC News reported that the first amount, which is 1,784 followed by 21 zeros, is more money than exists on the planet.)

INCOMPETENT CRIMINALS (1) Michael Spagnola, 38, of Colden, N.Y., was charged with DUI in October after a sheriff’s deputy stopped Spagnola’s car and noticed the man climbing from the driver’s seat into the back. Spagnola then told the deputy (from the back seat) that, though he had been drinking, he was not the one driving. However, the deputy noted, there was no one else in the car. (2) Cesar Lopez, 29, was arrested at the Turkey Hill Minit Market in Lebanon, Pa., in October when he emerged from a restroom looking for something inside the baseball cap he was carrying. A police officer noticed that a small baggie was stuck to the top of Lopez’s forehead and speculated that Lopez had stowed the baggie (found later to contain marijuana) inside the sweatband of the cap but that when he removed the cap in the restroom, the baggie remained stuck to his head. ■

To Mark Allen Oreck, for leaving a lasting legacy at Maui Memorial Medical Center. Oreck, who died in 2007, imparted his Lahaina estate, valued at about $1.5 million according to a Maui News report, to the hospital (items are set to be auctioned off this weekend). He was a staunch supporter of MMMC in life as well, volunteering weekly for almost 20 years. We don’t have a wide range of health care choices on Maui, so anyone who helps to bolster and support what we do have deserves our thanks.

ATTENTION MAUI CHARITIES & NON-PROFITS! The current economic situation is forcing everyone to pinch pennies, but we can’t forget about the local charities and nonprofit organizations that need our assistance. This issue highlights their individual needs.

To Maui Academy of Performing Arts (MAPA) for expanding to the West side. Saving young thespians a protracted drive around the pali, MAPA has opened new digs at the Kahana Gateway Shopping Center and is offering regular classes and camps. (This should come as especially good news to parents scrambling to fill the Furlough Friday void with something enriching.) For more info, visit mauiacademy.org or call 244-8760.

To the recession, for pushing the Honolulu Symphony to the brink. Even if you’ve never made the trek to Oahu to see them play, even if you don’t know a cello from a bassoon, there’s something sad about a city losing its orchestra. But that’s exactly what might happen, as the symphony teeters on the brink of Chapter 11 bankruptcy according to the Honolulu Advertiser. Keep in mind we’re not talking about some flash in the classical pan here—the Honolulu Symphony’s been around since 1900. Whether it’ll survive to see another century is now, sadly, an open question.

To the Denver alt weekly Westword for, ahem, blazing a trail in the arena of consumer reviews. In what has to be the most coveted stoner job since Tommy Chong hired his last personal assistant, the paper is looking for a critic to rate Colorado’s medical marijuana dispensaries for its new column, “Mile Highs and Lows.” If and when Hawaii gets its medical pot law ironed out to the point that distributors can operate safely and openly, a similar job posting may appear in these pages. We imagine qualified applicants will be in plentiful supply. ■

Each year, we run a Charity Gift Giving guide, letting our readers know what items different organizations have on their wish lists. Send us a list of what you need, plus a short blurb about your organization, including address and contact info. We know times are tough, but the spirit of giving is recession-proof!

Re “The Seven Scariest County & State Elected Officials”: It’s about time we had someone really on these lamebrain asses who continue the status quo. The article and the video sum up what’s known as the old boy network in Maui, and no one’s had the stones to get in their face about it ’til now. I didn’t either, so as someone who’s been here for long enough to see it going from bad to worse, I’m backing you.

Duke Aiona as number two? Pulleezz. Yes he goes to church, but he is the most levelheaded, least conflicted, most honest and smart person in Hawaii politics. I do not want any religious people in office, but you can’t have perfection Hawaii, so figure out what you can tolerate. Duke is better for Hawaii than most all other politicians combined. Abercrombie, that guy is an embarrassment. If you think Tavares is bad wait until you get an anti jobs, pro-union, out-of-control spender in the top state office who also happens to be from the same party as the legislature. Democrats gone wild, rape and pillage the citizens v2.0.

You have no right under the Constitution to distribute offensive materials. I’m sadly disappointed at Maui’s only hope for a reasonable media voice going waaaay yellow to garner attention. If you published neo-Nazi material, would you have a First Amendment right to distribute in a synagogue? Did you ever stop to consider that some former MauiTime readers may be personal friends with the mayor? Your self-righteousness here is repugnant—and stupid. Please begin to remedy this gross error in judgment. Do you have a problem with objective reporting, with the facts

following who, what, when and where? Your offensive cartoon was not investigative; it was only ugly and easy. What a loss.

Robert Wintner, via mauitime.com

Couple points for those who are “outraged”: (1) It’s a political cartoon, and the Mayor is a public figure. Take a look at some political cartoons, this is par for the course. It’s just there’s so little satire on Maui and so few people calling out our leaders, some people don’t understand this; (2) It’s Halloween. I saw a little boy with a fake butcher knife and his face covered in blood, and next to him his sister dressed as a vampire with blood dripping down her chin. And people were saying, “Oh how cute” and giving them candy. Guess we have a different standard for decency between kids and a political cartoon of the Mayor.

As a supporter of Mayor Tavares, I am concerned that government employees would so blatantly disregard the First Amendment on County time. Based on Ms. Martin’s comments, it appears as though a remedial class in civics is in order for the County employees involved. The serious nature of this incident should not be overlooked. As Thomas Jefferson said: “The agitation it [a free press] produces must be submitted to. It is the only thing that keeps the waters pure.”

Mark Simonds, via mauitime.com

It’s the classic media cycle of turning themselves into the “victim.” Not the first news outlet to do so, just the most lame, I mean, “recent.” Can I put money in Vegas that next week’s MauiTime selfindulgent cover will be something hoping to garner “pity” in the hopes of selfless attention seeking in their manufactured plight against “Maui County”?

Re Rob Parsons’s “Deere John” article: Thank you for your continued efforts to wake people up! It is important to know that the County is a corporation and the

people who receive benefits from this corporation do not want to lose these, be they income, health insurance, retirement accounts or ego fulfillment. They want to do what they can to keep their machine running. This is why we see conflict between people and the County—they feel the big corps. will better maintain their lifestyle. This is why they also appear to be harsh to us simple little people. On Maui, the County money collectors are making all people who have ag exemptions prove up on their farm activities because there are too many “gentlemen estates” that get the exemption and do not farm. The County should make it easy for the real farmers to show they are farming—this should have happened long ago—and the no-farm lands should be made to pay. Farmers who do show proof of farming should not be hassled, and shouldn’t have to pay full taxes on idle land—not when the federal government pays farmers not to grow certain foods to provide price support for others. Property tax bills, especially when

they come with massive penalties and the fear of losing our land to the County if we do not pay, means we are not sovereign— we do not own our land. And this means we have not advanced from the time when we were serfs and the king owned the land and ruled with swords and fear.

SEDARIS

& ME Uncoolness, illness, a cafe in low light and a Maui-exclusive

interview with a

bestselling author. by Anu Yagi

orty-eight hours ago, I woke up with a bloody nose. Peeling my face off the crispy, dark crimson pillow, I recoiled at the sight. Not because of the blood, but because dried up within it was the sparkling evidence of having broken a longstanding vow—a vow to never wear glittery makeup past age 12. Not only did I break that vow, but I did so with Hannah Montana-branded cosmetics and topped it all off with butterfly wings. Somehow I’d convinced myself this was acceptable behavior because it was Halloween, and I was attending a costume party. To make myself feel better, I’d decided that I would first arrive to the party wing-less, tote around a copy of David Sedaris’s Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim (loaned to me by my editor in preparation for this story), and call myself a bookworm. ➔

12 November 5, 2009


“You need a big sheet,” my mother said as we picked through her sizable costume collection, the night before my nosebleed. “Then, when the time is right, you can pretend it’s a cocoon and emerge from it a butterfly!” My brother Jayson cocked his eyebrow and left the room, mumbling something about Mom and I being “dramatic.” Jayson is a natural mountaineer in the highlands of cool, whereas I am a rope-less spelunker cast helplessly in the opposite direction—into the cavernous abyss of lameness. Cool people like my brother, with their easy ascension to lofty accomplishments, are, unlike me, blessed an inherent toolbox of talents, so that cultivated fallback traits are simply not necessary. On the other end of the spectrum, I have had to farm a healthy ham garden, and a crop of unabashed silliness has long been my only saving grace. Seeing on Jayson’s face the flicker of perplexed embarrassment at the mere thought of me ensconcing myself in fabric for a theatrical wardrobe change, I made quick mental note that doing so would not only register me low on the cool scale, but could possibly be damaging to Jayson’s status as well. Though I didn’t dance out of a sheet like a wet worm with new wings, I woke up looking like I had—and had gotten beaten up for it.

Sedaris from his apartment in Paris. Since then, I’ve been walking on air, knowing I get to write a story about our little chat. But for all my excitement, I had yet to dive in. See, Sedaris’s career is my most blissful dream: a magical start on NPR, novel after best-selling novel, book and lecture tours, regular gigs with such illustrious publications as The New Yorker. He’s an architect on the page, building bold, sardonic stories that are every bit as touching as they are humorous. Sedaris (coupled with those sultry, emerald Salem ads) is the one of the reasons I first started smoking and I have long dreamed of—no, fantasized about—being his friend. Though I lack intrinsic coolness, I was certain that if given the chance, he would love me. Not that I have anything to offer now, but that somehow in his presence—sitting, chatting at some cozy European cafe in the late evening—I would blossom into the feminine, intellectual creature I’ve always desired to be. Of course, when I attempt to be suave I end up achieving quite the opposite effect. After our interview, I’m haunted by his story, “The Change in Me.” In it, he’s 14 years old, and a hippie girl begging for change in front of a convenience store, regarded by him as “sophisticated,” has called him “a teeny-bopper, meaning in effect that [he] was a poseur.”

While I say words like “stress” and “copious amounts of cigarettes” to explain what’s happening to me, the medical professionals shake their heads saying words like “denial” and “highly abnormal.” Before they whisked me away to Oahu, on a little plane just for me, I signed a mountain of paperwork that all stated, in careful blue ballpoint script “newly diagnosed leukemia.” I suppose it’s my penance for breaking my no-glitter rule, or for ruining the one chance I had at wooing my hero.

S

till toting around my editor’s copy of Sedaris’s book—one of just a handful of possessions I brought with me on my last-minute venture—I tell everyone about how he is concluding his lecture tour here in Hawaii this week and about how one of the six stories he wrote for this tour takes place in Hawaii. My skin crawls a little as I say this, as I’m unable to help but reflect upon when, in our interview, he politely corrected me after I called his tour “a book tour.” “This is a lecture tour, so this is different,” he said. “I went on a paperback tour in June. Twice a year I go on these lecture tours—so this is a lecture tour a opposed to a book tour.” Yuck. I should know better. Hearing the word “lecture” three times, it’s forever engrained. My face flushes thinking about

see the stunning view I have of the Moanalua Valley. Rain clouds collect and consume the valley, and I’m reminded of the writing strategies Sedaris shared, the little coded notes he makes based on audience responses. “I’ll start this tour with six new stories. I’ll read out loud and rewrite. So, what I’ll read in Massachusetts next Wednesday will be quite different than what I finish the tour with in Hawaii…Oh, you know, I’ll put a big check mark next to things that get a laugh, an ‘X’ next to the things that I thought would get a laugh, but didn’t work for some reason. I’ll draw a skull in the margin sometimes—that’s for coughing. When the audience coughs, it’s like they’re throwing human skulls at you. “It’s difficult,” he continues. “I had a story in The New Yorker about a month ago…I had to convey a page worth of information…that can be enough to loose an audience, and I got a lot of coughing there. I’d be relieved to find that they laughed later on, so I didn’t lose them completely. But what I did, over the course of that month, [was] I parceled it out. So I had a little bit here and a little bit there—I didn’t have Death Valley there. You know, that’s what you want to avoid, Death Valley.” I can’t turn my neck enough to see the bone marrow biopsy, so instead I focus on a little black bird hopping on a painted eucalyptus branch not far from my window. Over the subtle sound of breaking

I was certain that if given the chance, Sedaris would love me. That somehow in his presence—sitting, chatting at some cozy European cafe in the late evening—I would blossom into the feminine, intellectual creature I’ve always desired to be. “

T

hat’s messed up,” my brother growled, lovingly. We were lounging on the lanai, having coffee after breakfast, and I at first thought he was referring to the glitter—flecks of which were still falling into my coffee cup, though I’d scrubbed my face several times. “You need to go see a doctor,” he continued as he motioned towards the bright red squiggle oozing from my nose, his eyes scanning the deep purple bruising on my legs. “Yeah, I know,” I said, wiping my nose. “I’ll go when this week’s issue is pau,” but I was lying and knew it. I hate going to the doctor. Besides, I simply didn’t have the time. It was Sunday, and I’d accomplished absolutely no work since Friday morning, thanks to some self-inflicted boyfriend issues. Though I’ve never felt the pleasure of the being ahead— notoriously always in catch-up mode—I’ve somehow or other managed to pull something together in the final moments before deadline, for better or worse. All I’d done in preparation for this week was, for the last month, feign cool (another fallback trait for people lacking real cool), by bragging without demur about having had an exclusive interview with David Sedaris. I mean, it was not as if I personally had anything to do with scoring the interview— by all appearances the Sedaris camp picked Maui Time from the onset—but regardless, I had indeed, about a month ago, interviewed

He closes that essay with the musings of a confident, grown-up self, again passing that young woman, where “she’d ask you for a quarter and you’d laugh not cruelly, but politely, softly, as if she were telling you a joke you’d already heard.” That politeness was the tone that engulfed the memory of my interview with Sedaris, and I had yet to admit to myself that the idea of reliving the failure of my fantasy materialized, for the sake of the article, was simply too much to bear. Here it was, doomsday (a statement I would come to find was true in more ways than one), and I had accomplished nothing tangible. To make matters worse, I was evermore that poseur, with the Hanna Montana glitter to prove it. Flash forward to today, 48 hours after my nosebleed. I am no longer on Maui and have three tubes sticking out of my arms. My nose and gums are still bleeding, and I’ve been pumped full of so many “blood products” that I’ve gained 7 pounds since my arrival at the hospital (which came only because of the forceful insistence of my family). I’ve had X-rays, bone marrow extractions, and am not allowed to get out of bed without an attendant. In the last two days, no less than 20 people have looked at my bloody, bruised bare ass. They even take pens and regularly mark my butt, to track the bleeding. To compensate for these things, everyone is treating me very, very nicely.

it, and they rush to take my temperature, draw more blood from the tubes hanging from my arm in order to check my platelet levels—which today are at 17,000 (a good number is well in excess of 100,000) Sedaris collects medical oddities, a passion I would also share had I the money, and now every time I look at my tubed-up arm, I wonder if he’d think it was neat. Maybe it’d make me a little cooler. “There’s a museum in Prague,” he told me, “a dermatological museum that closed about 10 years ago.” The collection was dispersed, gobbled up by collectors, and he already had a few pieces himself—wax models of human body parts, in boxes covered in glass with Czech writing on the back. He was particularly enthusiastic about a new piece he acquired in Turin, Italy. “I got an arm with a blood infection. So, it just looks like a human arm from the elbow down, and it’s really subtle—just really subtle, this red streak in the arm… That was pretty great.”

I

’m lying on my stomach, and my hematologist is forcing a large metal spike into my hipbone. I can hear a knocking grind as the instrument bears down into me, to scoop up a bone marrow sample that will—in a few hours—confirm their suspicions that I indeed have leukemia. As I strain my neck to watch the procedure, I

bone, his chirp is a bit like a cell phone, electric and monotonous. I wonder if he sounds like that because of my, or his, accustomedness to cell phones. Sedaris writes quite a bit about birds. From little mentions here and there, to entire stories circulating around them. His voice, too, is rather bird-like, light and whimsical, with careful, songlike emphasis in all the right places (one of the things that makes him so wonderful to listen to on NPR, or on a lecture tour). As I finish this, I’ve already started chemotherapy and feel a little sick. Not from the meds necessarily, but from knowing I’ll miss his show, his birdlike voice. This last month, since my interview, since my gums began to bleed and trickle into the corners of my mouth, since my body began to inexplicably bruise, I’ve thought I’d mostly be writing about Sedaris and our long talk about birds. It was, after all, the most pleasant part of our conversation—the only part of our hour-long talk where I didn’t feel like a total idiot. For in that fleeting moment, as swift and soft as the current of air from a single wing beat, we were sitting in the low light of that cafe with the chime of wine glasses and our clever chatter. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/feature16

A

nyone who’s sampled the crab cakes at AK’s Cafe in Wailuku knows they’re worth seeking out. Thankfully, getting them’ll be a lot easier starting November 9, when Chef Elaine’s delicious creations will be available at the Foodland outlets in Lahaina and Pukalani. Elaine says she hopes to have them in the deli section within about a month, but at first they’ll be stocked in the freezer. Long-range goals include getting the product to Oahu, Kauai and the

Big Island; there’s also word that the Kahului Ale House plans to add them to the menu, good news for football fans seeking something to soak up the Sunday morning booze. Nice to see a local business expanding its reach, but it’d be immaterial if the cakes weren’t good. Luckily they are, enough to stand out on a well-rounded restaurant menu, which means they’ll stack up even better against the frozen food aisle competition. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/2dining16

t took us a while to get over to Taco Del Mar to try their taqueria-style burrito line. I had to get over the psuedo washed-up surfer dude commercial. The last thing I need is a washed-up dude telling me where to eat. But here’s the thing: we don’t have any true taqueria-style burrito joints, where you choose your tortilla, protein, beans, vegetables and so on down the line, ‘til its wrapped up tight in foil and handed over. Taco Del Mar is it. Located on the Longs and Whole Foods side of the Maui Mall on Kaahumanu Avenue—meaning there’s always plenty of parking—the restaurant is simple, colorful and clean, with a beachy, Baja, California theme and two large flat screen TVs on either wall. Here’s how it works: you stand in line, get to the front, and then your burrito, taco, salad or quesadilla is made to order. I was impressed that I had three different choices of beef alone: ground, carne asada steak or shredded, not to mention pork, chicken and fish entrees. All the fillings are laid out in front of you like a salad bar; you can point and choose. They have rice, black pinto or refried beans, and other extras

including shredded iceberg lettuce, tomato, finely shredded cheese, guacamole, sour cream and enchilada sauce. Another nice touch: you can order beer by the bottle, plus of course fountain soft drinks, bottled water and the like. Their

special two mondo burritos for $10 is a good value for a lot of food (catch it if you come in after 3pm Monday-Thursday). ■

t’s humid in North Kohala, but the air is clean and crisp from the early morning rain. As I look out the front door, I’m greeted with such an abundance of emerald and azure beauty, my heart swells with gratitude for this perfect day. OK, I’m actually still on Maui staring at the derelict lot outside my window. But listening to John Keawe’s voice—as strong, rich and deep as koa wood—one can’t help but imagine lush landscapes, the sound of crashing waves and a gentle breeze on your skin. Considering how completely Keawe has mastered the slack key guitar, I assumed he’d been playing forever and studied under the greats. In fact, self-taught Keawe didn’t show any interest in slack key until he returned from service in the Navy in the 1970s. Prior to that, he had only played good ol‘ rock ‘n roll while growing up on the Big Island. Around the same time he began to explore slack key, he met Hope. Eventually they married and went on to have three sons and, at last count, nine grandchildren. When Keawe embarked on his solo career in the ’90s, Hope began to dance hula for his various songs. Keawe speaks lovingly and admiringly of his wife. Not only has she been encouraging and supportive of his career, she’s also served as the inspiration for many of his songs. In fact, Keawe says his favorite song to perform is “Beautiful Hula Dancer,” in which Hope performs alongside him with an original hula. Keawe happily reports that he’s doing what he loves with someone he loves. (He also told me that if I misquote him, he’s going to call me up and berate me.) Other artists that have served to inspire Keawe include old-time (Keawe laughs as

Instead, my query is met with Keawe’s comfortable laughter, like rolling surf hitting the shore. He explains that he didn’t even get to go, but was very proud to be a contributing artist to an album that has gained so much esteem. “It was an honor to represent the root music of Hawaii,” he says. While everyone may not be able to understand the Hawaiian words, the timeless and intimate medium of slack key guitar—as well as the feelings it so effortlessly and profoundly conveys— is universal. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/music16

Chanel Number One Profile of revolutionary fashionista rises above biopic clichés Coco Before Chanel

★★★★★

Rated PG-13/110 min.

I

had no idea who Coco Chanel was before I saw this film and, as I write this, I’m wearing plaid pajamas, a 15-year old T-shirt and Homer Simpson slippers, so I am neither aware of great fashion nor a participant in it. I point this out because, even if you’re like me and get the majority of your clothes as Christmas gifts, wouldn’t be caught dead on Friday without an Aloha shirt and could care less whether your jeans are from Calvin Klein or your cousin Calvin, you’ll still get sucked into this elegant historical drama. Audrey Tautou stars as Gabrielle Chanel, a broke saloon singer—given the nickname “Coco” after a song she warbled through night after night—whose relationship with a race horse owner (Benoit Poelvoorde) and a genuine romantic (Alessandro Nivola) were her escape from poverty into high living. Unlike most costume dramas, this

Gray is always in. one is never depressing or stuffy and, rather than portraying Coco as an opportunist, it presents her as a survivalist, a woman who

is flustered by the condescending attention she receives from rich, fumbling men. Her knack as a clothing designer is shown as a hobby, a creative outlet, with barely a hint that we’re watching a future giant in the fashion industry whose “simple is better” approach (goodbye corsets!) was revolutionary at the time. The music and cinematography are beautiful without being overly stylish. The emphasis is on character and the three leads are superb. Poelvoorde makes his wealthy, drunk and bored suitor a complex, even touchingly tragic figure, while Nivola (an American actor best known as Nicholas Cage’s brother in Face/Off) is not only an engagingly sincere love interest but impressively speaks nearly all of his dialogue in French. Finally, there’s Tautou, the Amelie star whose subsequent roles have been risk-takers both worthy (Dirty Pretty Things) and disastrous (The Da Vinci Code). Playing Chanel requires her to be driven, proud and internally but visibly vulnerable, and she nails it. In her final scene, she

reminded me of another popular, uniquely beautiful and gifted actress with the same first name: Audrey Hepburn. The story structure is like a three-act play: Coco’s early years spent singing dreadful drinking songs, her new life as a hopeful houseguest among the wealthy and finally a portrait of her steel-willed brilliance as a new sensation on the fashion scene. The closing scenes don’t tie up every strand and there is, of course, much more to her story than a 110-minute movie can capture. Even though the film offers tension, surprises and sad twists of fate, it’s not an overbearing, overlong or heavy-handed biopic. Like a great book, the screenplay takes its time to shape intriguing characters who are recognizably real and all too aware of the importance of their risky decisions. This is a pleasant surprise that does what all great movies do—tells a compelling story and confounds expectations. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/film16

Maui Film Festival Candlelight Cinema Will return with the First Light: Academy screenings for Nov. & Dec. 2009.

New This Week

A CHRISTMAS CAROL & 3D - PG - Family Dickens’s tale of apparition-induced Yuletide redemption gets the CGI treatment, with Jim Carrey providing multiple voices. Of course, the last time Jim Carrey was involved in a film version of a classic children’s book, the result was The Grinch. But we’ll hold out hope. 96 min. [JS] COCO BEFORE CHANEL - PG13 - Drama - See this week’s Film Critique. 110 min. THE BOX - PG13 - Horror - The titular item is sort of like a genie, but in addition to granting you a wish if you open it, it also kills someone. Here’s betting the couple that finds it on their doorstep chooses the less moral path, or that running time is totally unjustified. 115 min. [JS] THE FOURTH KIND - PG13 - Horror - Gee, did I miss the First through Third Kinds? This is one of those inspired-by-true-events thrillers, about political shenanigans and mysterious disappearances in Alaska. (Hey, I solved the mystery: she left to go on a national book tour.) 98 min. [JS] THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS - R - Comedy - A reporter in Iraq hooks up with a dude who claims paranormal abilities, and somewhere along the way a goat gets stared at. George Clooney, Ewan McGregor and Jeff Bridges star. 93 min. [JS]

Now Showing

AMELIA - PG - Drama - Hilary Swank plays Atchison, Kansas native, Amelia Earhart—the record-breaking American pilot who became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean (in 1928, flying a Fokker F7). Alongside navigator Fred Noonan (in a rebuilt Lockheed Electra), she disappeared mysteriously over the Pacific Ocean on July 2, 1937, while attempting to become the first woman to fly around the world. Pairing the story of inspirational Earhart with Swank, it’s clear that this film is begging for more than a nod. 111 min. ASTRO BOY - PG - Family - A skillful scientist creates a super-power robot in the image of his deceased son—known as Astro Boy. Still grieving, he rejects the replica he created. When aliens threaten the Earth, Astro Boy embarks on an adventure to save the planet, become famous, and reconcile with pops. 94 min. THE BOYS ARE BACK - PG13 - Comedy - Based on Simon Carr’s acclaimed memoirs of the same title (2001), Clive Owen plays sportswriter Joe Warr—a widower who must contend with rearing two sons alone. Shot in the countryside of South Australia, it explores the vicissitudinous path the three men take through grief to unification. 104 min. CAPITALISM A LOVE STORY - R - Documentary Michael Moore’s latest installment comes on the 20th anniversary of his groundbreaking Roger & Me. From the epicenters of financial institutions and big business to Washington, D.C., Moore gives viewers rarely seen insight into the powerhouses at the heart of our current collapse. 127 min. CIRQUE DU FREAK : THE VAMPIREÍS ASSISTANT - PG13 - Fantasy - More lighthearted than Twilight, to which obvious parallels are drawn, this flick is based on novels by Darren Shan. Pals Darren (Chris Massoglia) and Steve (Josh Hutcherson) peek in on a strange circus that’s come to town. How strange? Selma Hayek is the bearded lady—and oddly missing from most of the previews, I might add. Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly) is fo’ realz vampire who, to Steve’s dismay, takes Darren into his ranks and a war with the Vampanese. 108 min. COUPLES RETREAT - PG13 - Comedy - Stars Vince Vaughn, John Favreau, Jason Batemen (heh heh), Faizon Love, Malin Akerman, Kristen Bell, Kristen Davis and Kali Hawk, as four Midwestern couples who embark on a surf, sun and sand retreat in order to reconnect. Supposed hilarity ensues when the gurus there to guide them to marital bliss cause a quirky mess. 107 min. G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA - PG13 - Action - A super-elite team of international military operatives battle the evildoer organization Cobra, with high tech weapons the likes of which you probably never dreamed of while playing with your Hasbro toys in the

sandbox. This flashy new rendition’s sandy battlefield is, not surprisingly, a North African desert. 120 min. HALLOWEEN 2 - R - Horror - Michael Meyer’s (Tyler Mane) little sister Laurie (Scout Taylor-Compton) just never gets a break. The movie picks up where the last one left off: at the Haddonfield General Hospital. A bloodbath ensues as Michael slaughters everyone in his path while in pursuit of Laurie. Fast forward to the anniversary of the killings, and the haunted Laurie is again visited by her abominable big bro. 101 min. IN MY LIFE - Unrated - Comedy - A film from the Philippines, it stars Vilma Santos as (sh!t you not) Shirley Templo, a Filipino librarian who moves to New York to be closer to her estranged son, Mark (Luis Manzano). From there, the film explores the complex relationship she has with Mark’s partner Noel (John Lloyd Cruz), who helps Templo as she works through the frustrations of big city life. 120 min. LAW ABIDING CITIZEN - R - Thriller - Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) exacts revenge when the man who murdered his wife and children a decade ago, is released. Nick Rice (Jaime Foxx) is the prosecutor who was assigned to the case, and responsible for the plea bargain that saved the killer. Shelton—a brilliant sociopath pushed to the brink by his trials—contends with Rice, who he feels is part of a broken justice system. 122 min. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY - R - Horror - The same low-budget, high-yield strategy as The Blaire Witch Project (1999), this film follows a young suburban couple (Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat) who move into a seemingly-normal starter house, but soon find themselves haunted by the things that go bump in the night. So, they set up video cameras to help figure out what’s so frightening. 86 min. SAW 6 - R - Horror - Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) is the Jigsaw’s (Tobin Bell) successor, and the FBI’s actions against him instigate another “game,” which reveals, in this sixth installment, the Jigsaw’s master-plan. 90 min. THE STEP FATHER - R - Thriller - Penn Badgley plays Michael Harding, a young man who has just returned home from military school, and whose suspicions about his mother’s (Sela Ward) new boyfriend (Dylan Walsh) are frighteningly confirmed. 102 min. SURROGATES (DIGITAL) - PG13 - Sci-Fi - In the future, robots are smarter and better looking than humans. So, humans decide to live in isolation and interact with fellow bag of bones via robots alone. Bruce Willis plays an FBI agent who investigates some mischief and conspiracy surrounding the murder of the surrogate inventor. 112 min. THIS IS IT - PG - Documentary - Drawing from over 100 hours of behind-the-scenes footage of Michael Jackson, as he prepared for the comeback he for so longed for (which would have kicked-off this summer in London, at The O2 arena), this film was produced with the steadfast backing of the Michael Jackson estate. An indepth epitaph that also pays homage to the production efforts that never fully materialized, this stunningly produced documentary is a celebration of Jackson’s life, made with fans in mind—a noncritical look at the last life and times of one of the greatest performers of our age. 120 min. TYLER PERRY’S I CAN DO BAD ALL BY MYSELF - PG13 - Comedy - Aunty April (Taraji P. Henson), a lounge singer, drinks heavily and lives off her married boyfriend, Raymond. Wanting little to do with her delinquent niece and two young nephews recently charged under her care, she starts to reassess her lifestyle when an intriguing Mexican man moves into her basement. 113 min. WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE - PG - Family - Director Spike Jonze teamed with Dave Eggers in creating the hip screen adaptation of this classic children’s tale, written and illustrated by the legendary Maurice Sendak. Staying true to the book’s delightfully moody palate, Jonze combines live action with CGI and (the all-too lost art of) puppeteering—bringing to life the whimsical characters beloved by so many since 1963. 94 min. ZOMBIELAND - R - Horror - This is one of the few flicks I’ve been truly excited about. Woody Harrelson plays the zombie slaying, kamikazi-cowboy “Tallahassee,” Emma Stone is “Wichita,” Abigail Breslin is “Little Rock,”and Bill Murray is himself. Uh, between Harrelson and Murray alone, what more to say? See you there! 88 min.

Plant It Here

Friday (Nov. 6), N. Market Street, Wailuku Town, 5:30-11pm

Saturday (Nov. 7), 8:45am-2pm, Maui Nui Botanical Gardens, 150 Kanaloa Ave., Kahului, free

You know the drill: It’s the First Friday of the month. It’s Wailuku Town. It’s a party. N. Market St. closes at 5:30pm, and the festivities kick off at 6pm with chanting and hula followed by a pa‘i ai (pounded taro) competition, held in front of Native Intelligence with prizes, live music, hula and games. Kama‘aina Properties features basket weaving accompanied by the tuneful stylings of Mika and Friends. Maui OnStage hosts a shindig at the Iao Theater featuring keiki hula at 6pm, George Kahumoku at 6:30pm, Mojomana at 7:45pm and a surf flick at 8:15pm. Slam poetry fans can get their fix at Gallery Ha, hosting the Aloha Slam at 8pm. Last but most definitely not least, CafĂŠ Marc Aurel offers up the Haiku Hillbillies (pictured), doing their eclectic folk/blues/jazz/rock/etc. thing from 8-11pm. [Jacob Shafer]

Free trees to the first 1,000 people! That isn’t a pitch you hear every day, but you’ll hear it at an event sponsored by Maui Nui Botanical Gardens, in conjunction with the Maui Association of Landscape Professionals, featuring plant sales, talks and demonstrations by experts within the burgeoning green movement on everything from fertilization to soil maintenance to pest control, plus mouth-watering grinds and the aforementioned gratis trunk-supported perennials. At 12:15pm, the Maui Invasive Species Committee will present its Malama i ka Aina award, reserved for a landscaper who promotes the use of native, non-invasive plants. Even if your thumb isn’t green—and maybe especially if it’s not—this one’s worth setting aside a Saturday for. Mnbg.org or 249-2798. [JS]

Sunday (Nov. 8), 11am-7pm, Maui Community College, 310 Kaahumanu Ave., Kahului, free admission

Whether your veins run with bluegrass blood or you got your introduction from that Coen brothers movie a few years back with George Clooney and the hair grease and John Goodman as the bad-tempered one-eyed salesman (yeah, check it out if you haven’t seen it), it’s tough—if not downright impossible—to resist the appeal of this twangy, aurally infectious genre, steeped in dust and sweat and soul and sepia-toned Americana. Dedicated to the memory and spirit of Johnny Baldwin, this onenight-only showcase will bring together—for the first time in five decades—Grand Ole Opry legend Bobby Osborne (pictured), “one of the founding fathers of bluegrass,” along with some of slickest pickers on the planet. If your toes don’t start involuntarily tapping, check your pulse. Mauiarts.org, 242-7469. [JS]

“You don’t win friends with salad,” quipped Homer Simpson, that great postmodern American philosopher. And he’s right. With apologies to my vegetarian and vegan friends, it’s a good, thick slab of flesh—preferably cooked on an open flame and augmented with healthy dollops of sauce and a frothy beverage—that rallies culinary allies to your cause. Enter the first-ever Great Pulehu Challenge, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Maui. Eight teams will compete for prizes and bragging rights in what’s sure to be a lively, smoky cook-off. The real winner, of course, will be you, who gets to sample all these gastronomical delights, while enjoying live music, cooking demos and other diversions. Don’t forget to grab some extra napkins.

Kenny Loggins and Jimmy Messina to reunite in the way that they have—the duo themselves, included. Locals love their hit “Lahaina,” among many classics, and keiki too can groove to “House at Pooh Corner.” Having seen them myself, at the MACC (curiously, on November 13th of 2005), I can attest to the fact these star songsters have still got it. $45/$65/$75/$125. 7:30 p.m. Castle Theater, MACC, One Cameron Way, Kahului, HI 96732. 808-242-7469.

Horoscopes

sign.language.astrology@gmail.com SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) I love Scorpios. I even spent 12 months trying to walk in your shoes (I told everyone my birthday was November 11th that year), just to see what it was like. Needless to say, I couldn’t quite pull off your edgy panache. You know you’ve got something that no one else has. This is a good week to revel in that unique quality. It’s one of those things that people either love or hate about you. Obviously, the ones who stick around must adore or appreciate this quality, so forget about the haters and just celebrate with the lovers.

SIGN

AGE LANGU

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Sure, you could cook pretty much anything over an open ďŹ re with minimal equipment; it’s even possible to bake bread! However, why would you do so if you didn’t have to? If you’re keen for the challenge, then by all means, have at it. However, if you don’t have a good reason for not using the stove and modern appliances you have at hand (which are much better suited for what you hope to produce), then there’s no real point in foregoing them. If you’re doing it just to prove a point, or worse, play out some misbegotten martyr complex, stop being silly and just drop it. You have stuff to get done.

7 out of 10 Capricorns (according to my informal poll), when asked which single super power they’d select if they could have any, said they’d choose invisibility over the power to y, preternatural strength, or even the ability to see the future. This may reect your intense curiosity about other people, and desire to be closer to them. However, I hope you outgrow your voyeuristic tendencies soon, since there’s a better option available—getting in on the action. Don’t watch unseen from the sidelines this week. All you need do is ask, then jump right in.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) I’m not a big believer in divine creationism, but it still seems somewhat miraculous that before leaves wither and fall off trees for the winter, they turn a vivid variety of hues that happens to be quite beautiful. It seems to me they could just as easily all simply turn the same shade of brown, since they’re all more or less the same shade of green the rest of the year. How lucky we are that things play out the way they do! Instead of merely functional, they’re frequently also surprising, gorgeous, and full of grace. Notice and appreciate that this week.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Totally disagree with our articles? Love one so much you have to give us your two cents? Did you know that you can comment on articles online? Be sure to check us out at:

No one can waste time like a Pisces. You Fish have a remarkable knack for making hours slip past with virtually nothing to show for them. Sure, your mind is busy during these times, but you’re so good at thinking in circles that you could end up hours later right where you began. That’s all ďŹ ne; what you do with your own time is your own business. However, when you drag other people along on all these pointless drifting journeys through limbo, you should be able to understand why they might not be so eager to join you again, next time. Drift all you want, but know when synching up with the rest of the world would be a better idea, and do it.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Compromise is not your forte. In fact, you often need to be strong-armed into it, and will only acquiesce when you feel you have no other choices. However, I urge you to consider this: it doesn’t always have to feel like you’re settling for less. Although many compromises result in a watered-down scenario where neither party is especially happy, some of them can create a powerful fusion of ideas that produce something that’s bigger and better than anyone originally envisioned. Since many of this week’s compromises could generate precisely this kind of stunning synergy, I suggest you remain as open to them as possible.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) There are some stains that just won’t come out of your clothes, no matter what kinds of fancy, high-tech cleaning products you use. Ultimately, you may have to relegate that beloved shirt to the trash, or possibly have it become part of your “getting messy outďŹ t.â€? Stains on your soul, however, are much more malleable. Although some may be just as permanent, your soul is a exible and dynamic thing; they can mutate into becoming something beautiful and vital. Instead of trying to eradicate pieces of your past experience, seek to incorporate them, into a stunningly beautiful (and achievable) version of you.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Unfortunately, you can’t quite be in two different places at once, and even though today’s technology can almost make it possible, the end result is that you’re not quite really in either one. Split your presence and attention too much and you might as well be as imsy, ineffective, and transparent as a ghost. It’s time to make potentially difďŹ cult choices about where you actually want be, and then go really be there. I know it seems impossible to decide, but you’ve got to do it. If you can’t choose somewhere to go, you’ll simply wind up nowhere.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Most Cancers aren’t especially shy. However, you are some of the most guarded and closed-off people around, hiding your softest and most vulnerable bits behind a nearly-impenetrable emotional shell that frequently keeps you from getting close to people. While it would be nice to only encounter people who were determined to get inside, no matter how hard you made it for them, most people will never try hard enough to penetrate your formidable defenses. That means you have to do the bulk of the work and invite them in. How? Just put yourself out there.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) While fasting periodically can be healthy for both body and soul, if done correctly, if done improperly or for the wrong reasons it can easily wreak havoc on both. It’s good for you Leos to do without some of the things you want sometimes, but only when you consciously choose to do so, as an exercise in discipline and, ultimately, appreciation of those things and the other things you have. When you do it out of some misguided masochistic desire to suffer, you do damage to all the things that make you sparkle—obviously, not the best idea. Check your motivation before you go without.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Don’t set yourself up for easy disappointment. You’re sculpting reality to reect your own pessimism; essentially: “If you hate me, keep breathing.â€? You make it almost impossible to prove you wrong—so of course your most negative ideas about yourself are frequently “provenâ€? right. This dynamic has got to stop. I’m not sure why you want so badly to have many of your own worst fears conďŹ rmed, but can you curb that behavior? Steer it towards something positive. While the opposite extreme—“Blink if you love me!â€?—would be nearly useless, setting yourself up for some easy conďŹ rmation of just how much you are loved, valued, and respected couldn’t possibly be a bad thing.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) How real are other people to you? Some Libras fall into this trap of seeing people in terms of categories, and while you’re careful to be present and genuine with those you view as friends, many of the other people you interact with (cashiers, coworkers, or the like) become just props who barely catch your notice. Many Libras, for instance, will think nothing of remaining on a cellphone call with a “real� person while they do something entirely different with someone they consider not worthy of their attention. You do see just how awful and snobbish that is, right? Please don’t do it.
