READER FEEDBACK BY READERS LIKE YOU
NO LOVE FOR KYLE YAMASHITA Kyle Yamashita wins elections because he stands at the side of Haleakala Hwy smiling and pointing at commuters (Candidate! Sept. 6, 2012). He is very charismatic in that regard, however if you have ever met him in person you may notice that he seems unable or unwilling to converse. Have you ever tried talking to him? I am gratified to learn that he is opposed to raising property taxes. Does he realize that it is the Maui County Council that controls our property taxes, not the State Legislature? Nice smile anyway. That’s all it takes to get elected.

YNEZ TONGSON GETS SOME LOVE Just wanted to tell you I really loved your article on Speed-Dating in MauiTime (“Speed Dating With The Beautiful People At Moana Cafe,” Aug. 30, 2012). Great writing and it made me laugh. If you ever wrote a book, I’d definitely read it. And I also still hate dating even though I’m almost 39... ugh! It probably didn’t help I got stood up on my last date and worse, I was the one who bought the tickets to the event. Felt like a total loser... but at least it gave me a newfound appreciation for being single. Here’s to picking the peas out! Thanks for the great article!

MVB LETTER Here’s a copy of a letter I just sent to the Maui [Visitors Bureau] (“Here’s why the Maui County Council should refuse Terryl Vencl’s request for $3.5 million for the Maui Visitors Bureau,” May 16, 2012):
Dear Sir/Madam, My wife and I recently visited Maui after a 24 year absence. Back then, there were Mom & Pop grocery stores and no Walmarts. There were views unobstructed by massive condo complexes. [Makena] Beach had a small church nearby with chickens running around. I could run from Lahaina to Kaanapali along a two-lane highway with very little traffic present. There was a smell of freshness in the air that gave one the impression of actually being in a relatively unspoiled place. Fast forward to November of last year. A tangled mess of malls, Safeways, Radio Shacks, fast food joints, traffic of unimaginable proportions, obese tourists from the Mainland getting in each other’s way as they ruck through the t-shirt shops in Lahaina, humorless and in a hurry to go nowhere. I never thought back in 1988 that your beautiful island would become, in essence, Los Angeles with trade winds. Everyone on the island who let this happen ought to be, at least, ashamed; at most praying to the God, Akua for forgiveness. The all-mighty dollar has turned paradise into a freak show of human and environmental degradation. Progress is not the name of this massive transformation over 24 years. When we got home, my younger brother expressed interest in moving to Maui after his retirement. I showed him some of the pictures we had taken in November. He’s now thinking of moving to Death Valley to be in a more hospitable environment.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2012
Mele Carroll is a decent enough legislator. She’s a reliable vote for workers’ rights and GMO food labeling, but has also introduced legislation to criminalize schoolyard bullying. Carroll also cannot for the life of her get a campaign finance report filed on time. The state Campaign Spending Commission has fined her again and again and still she can’t do it. Her supporters are always ready with excuses (she was ill, it’s not that important, etc.) but there’s a definite incongruity between the image of an experienced legislator who has mountains of previous state and county experience and the candidate who, election after election, cannot meet simple deadlines for reporting how much money her campaign took in and how she spent it.

Happy Birthday!
OCCUPY WALL STREET MAUI CELEBRATES FIRST BIRTHDAY The birth of Occupy Wall Street–the loose, mostly grassroots uprising that argues against the influence of multinational corporations in our government–has been wellcovered in the press. But I recently learned that its local cousin–Occupy Wall Street Maui, which is just about one year old now–owes its existence (at least partially) to the paper you’re reading right now. “Here on Maui, Occupy really began–after a couple false starts–in late September with a meeting called in Haiku, through a small note in MauiTime,” states a Sept. 9 press release from the organization. “About 25 people gathered–old-time peaceniks, Hawaiian sovereignists, environmentalists, political activists, anarchists, concerned citizens.” There, the press release states, the activists talked and formed an ad hoc General Assembly. “A week or so later, the very first Occupy Maui General Assembly was called, in Keopuolani Park, behind the MACC (two weeks later the meetings moved to UHMaui Freedom Lawn, where it has met weekly ever since),” stated the news release. “About 50 people came, started to form working groups, and Occupy Maui was launched. (The name was later changed to Occupy Wall Street Maui to honor the conviction of many Hawaiians that the islands are already an occupied nation.)” Over the past year, the group has “picketed in solidarity with electrical and harbor workers, silently protested around Kaahumanu Center, run a weeklong festival at the Monsanto GMO plantation in Kihei, and blocked illegal evictions in Hana and Kahului.” We haven’t heard much from them lately, and now they’d like to change that. On Monday, Sept. 17, Occupy Wall Street Maui activists (and anyone else who isn’t
Did you guys catch that fascinating Associated Press story in the Sept. 8 Maui News on tiki culture? The story, headlined “Nix the tiki bar: Tourism moves toward authenticity,” discusses a move among major resorts in Hawaii to replace the coconut bras, fire knife dances and other kitschy “Hawaiiana” with actual, real culture and traditions from the Kanaka Maoli. “Tourism leaders know Hawaii needs to highlight what makes the islands unique to compete with other sun-and-surf destinations like Florida, Mexico and Thailand,” reported the AP. “But the turn is also the latest sign of a Native Hawaiian renaissance with more locals studying Hawaiian language, reviving traditional styles of hula and learning ancient skills like using stars to navigate the ocean.” The story focuses mainly on Oahu resorts–Disney’s Aulani Resort and the Moana Surfrider in Waikiki–but also mentions the Ka‘anapali Beach Hotel (KBH), which is often credited with the distinction of being the “most Hawaiian” hotel on Maui. “For Lori Sablas, the cultural director at the Ka'anapali Beach Hotel on Maui, it is about accuracy,” reported the AP. The story then quoted Sablas as saying the following: “My mandate is, ‘How do Hawaiians think? How do Hawaiians act?’ Let’s not change it. Let’s not make it up.” While certainly a laudable goal, the story misses a few points that greatly complicate the notion that the KBH is among the most “authentic” resorts in Hawaii. The first is that the KBH–which does indeed prominently display Hawaiian artifacts and grow taro on the resort grounds–also has its own tiki bar (the whole “tiki” movement began in California in the 1930s, the story notes). Called The Tiki Bar & Grill, it’s a kickass little spot on the resort. It’s always lively, fun and is every bit as kitschy and
fun as any tikified establishment you might find on the Mainland. “Everyone envisions themselves at a Tikithemed bar with an exotic cocktail while in Hawaii,” states the KBH’s official website. “The Tiki Bar at Kaanapali Beach Hotel is the first and only outdoor Tiki Bar on Maui.” Here’s another issue, and this is by no means limited to the KBH. Ever go to a hula or dinner show or some other such big gathering of people in Hawaii? What’s the first thing the host or emcee says? “Alooooha.” Not “Aloha,” but “Alooooha,” with a big emphasis on the “ooooo” part.
ours, as is its meaning.” While we’re on the subject, here are two other haole words: “private property.” If we really want to know “what Hawaiians think,” as Sablas asked, then we’ve got to understand that, according to HawaiiHistory.org, “[t]he concept of private property was unknown to ancient Hawaiians.” That kinda throws a whole lot of really cold water on this whole search for the most “authentic” representation of Hawaiian culture in our tourism industry. But really, when have we Americans ever let a bunch of historians dictate terms in our marketing efforts?
Not welcome anymore?
Wrong! In his 2011 book Aloha: Traditions of Love and Affection, University of Hawaii cultural specialist Malcolm Naea Chun wrote that the word “Aloha” is, historically, far more intimate and personal than the word currently used on resorts and even in supposedly culturally accurate events. “[A]loha is special because it upholds, reaffirms, and binds relationships,” Chun wrote. “Aloha should not be taken lightly. It should not be used casually or frivolously.” No less an authority than Queen Lili‘uokalani helped guide Chun to that conclusion. “Never… never say alo-o-oha,” the queen told a crowd in 1910, according to Chun’s book. “It is a haole word. Aloha is
Overheard “Big girls need lovin’ too!” -Guy at the Grand Wailea, Sept. 10
MECO FALLS ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH Oh, and in case you were wondering, that little power outage last week in Kihei–the one that cut power to 13,000 South Maui customers for not quite an hour on Wednesday afternoon–was due to “An inadvertently closed switch at a substation,” according to a blurb in the Sept. 7 Maui News. According to the story, “[a]n investigation of the power blackout determined that, during testing of substation equipment at [Maui Electric Company’s] MECO’s Kealahou substation, a switch was left closed that resulted in an ‘automatic relay scheme’ that opened all circuits that provide power to Kihei and Wailea, [MECO spokeswoman Kau’i Awai-Dickson] said. And that brought about the power outage.” Also–again, just in case you were curious–the phrase “improve service reliability” played a huge part in the justification MECO used to convince the state Public Utilities Commission to grant its requested 3.2 percent interim rate hike (which went into effect on June 1 of this year). Hey, I’m just saying. ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1613n1

A&B Foundation award to help senior citizens
A&B FOUNDATION GIVES 20K TO OLD FOLKS The A&B Foundation recently awarded $20,000 to the Kaunoa Senior Center. Kaunoa’s congregate and home delivered meals program served more than 95,000 meals last year to 1,400 seniors and continues strong. The program, set up through the Federal Older Americans Act of 1965, provides seniors with nutritionally balanced meals, socialization with peers and nutrition education. Meals served at the Kaunoa Senior Center and in their home delivery service are meant to provide at least a third of the nutritional recommended daily allowance for adults. In a ceremony during Kumiai Day at the Spreckelsville Kaunoa Senior Center, Rick Volner Jr.–Hawaii Commercial & Sugar (HC&S) General Manager– presented the check to Department of Housing and Human Concerns Director Jo-Ann Ridao. Kumiai Day celebrates sugar plantation days and is co-sponsored by HC&S, which is also a subsidiary of A&B. The meals are prepared by the Department of Education and private vendors under the supervision of registered dietitians. The funds are for meals and are also used for events and special activities at Kaunoa or their 17 satellite centers. Some of their programs include Meals on Wheels, meals delivered to the homes of the frail and elderly, assisted transportation, door to door medical and business related travel assistance for seniors with physical and mental limitations, leisure programs and the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). Many of the events happen at the 401 Alakapa Place location in Sprecklesville, while others may take place at the West
Maui Senior Center on Lahainaluna Road, which is also run by Kaunoa Senior Services. A&B Foundation has been awarding this grant for 36 years.
DRUG TAKE-BACK DAY COMING SOON The fifth annual National Prescription Drug Take Back Day will happen Saturday, Sept. 29, but Kaiser Permanente has already beat the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to the punch. They’ve collected more than 100 pounds of prescription drugs on Maui, Hawaii Island and Oahu at their clinics this past spring. This was the first time Kaiser executed a take-back campaign. “Many people also don’t realize that improperly disposing of unwanted medications–flushing
them down toilets or throwing them in the trash–contributes to water and land contamination,” says Barbara Kashiwabara, Kaiser Permanente Hawaii’s Senior Director of Pharmaceutical Services. Kaiser’s initiative is limited to when they can partner with state and federal agencies because of the laws involved, but they say they will continue to hold these when federal narcotics partners are available. The idea is to reduce and prevent prescription drug abuse and poison-related deaths at a time when pharmaceuticals are increasing. “Prescription drug use continues to grow, especially since there have been many new ‘innovator’ drugs over the last 20 years–drugs that our parents and grandparents could not have even imagined–resulting in longevity, cures for old diseases, and in some cases, improvements in health care prevention and lifestyle,” says Kawashibara. “Because of all the new drugs, the practice of pharmacy has changed dramatically. Registered Pharmacists are key members of a health care team and are essential for ensuring safe access to medications, avoiding or minimizing drug-drug interactions and side effects, helping to make drugs affordable, and ensuring safe and effective use by monitoring the drug’s use.” If you have leftover prescription drugs, follow the FDA recommendations on their website or stay tuned for takeback days. Kawashibara emphasized that safe storage and disposal “ensures the drugs are used as intended and don’t get into the wrong hands.” On the Antidrug.com a site that tracks statistics of teen abuse of prescription drugs, “Every day 2,500 youth age 12
to 17 abuse a pain reliever for the very first time. More teens abuse prescription drugs than any illicit drug except marijuana. In 2008, more than 2.1 million teens ages 12 to 17 reported abusing prescription drugs. Among 12and 13-year-olds, prescription drugs are the drug of choice.” Kaiser officials say that on Maui they collected 47.76 pounds compared to Oahu’s 50.64 pounds of drugs from April 23 to 24. On Saturday, Sept. 29, you can visit the DEA in the Maui Police Department parking lot at 55 Mahalani St. in Wailuku to turn in any unused or expired prescription medication.
UH MAUI COLLEGE OFFERS RUNNING CLINIC In the first clinic of its kind, Edventure at UH Maui College will be offering a running clinic offered by Colorado jogging experts Douglas Wisoff and Art Ives. The clinic will be held Oct. 12-14 from Friday to Sunday. For these three days, the rubber hits the road and you will become familiar with phrases like “releasing muscle tension into the ground” and “engaging your fire-band.” “Our goal with the workshop is to help runners improve their mind/body interplay, sense of relaxation and power of attention to make their movement more graceful and harmonious instead of awkward and inefficient,” says Douglas. Learning physical exercises that balance your muscles is one aspect of the Radiant Running lessons taught by Wisoff. Ives’ The Way of Running focuses on bio-mechanics and running from the core. “This is a timely offering since the Hana Relay just occurred and the Maui Marathon is this weekend,” says Marc Antosch, who handles creative design and program promotions for UH Maui College. “They will share a unique kinesthetic approach to fitness running and marathoning that has helped thousands of runners overcome their injury and performance limits.” Positive reinforcement and experiential learning are at the core of their class. “We are both ‘minimalists’ when it comes to the muscular energy expended while running and the pounding on the body that occurs as a result of unnecessary, constant tension,” says Ives. “Skill can be substituted for force, the smoothness and flow of a dancer abides in every runner.” Sign up for the clinic by calling 808-9843231. The deadline is Thursday, Sept. 20. ■ jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso

CUTTING EDGE SCIENCE
Short-stay “love hotels” proliferate in Brazil, but in July in the city of Belo Horizonte, Fabiano Lourdes and his sister Daniela were about to open Animalle Mundo Pet, which they described as a love hotel for dogs. Owners would bring their mating-ready canines to rooms that feature the dim lighting and heart-shaped ceiling mirrors traditional in love hotels (to appeal to the party paying the bill, of course).
“Pheromone parties” attract men and women seeking romance not via ofteninsincere conversation but based on the primal-scent signals emitted by each other’s slept-in T-shirts. Organizers have staged parties in New York City and Los Angeles and plan to expand, according to a June Associated Press report. The organizers’ initial conclusion: People prefer lovers with a somewhatdifferent genetic makeup than their own, but not too different.
ICE CREAM WARS! New York City is the scene this summer of a particularly nasty turf war among ice cream trucks vying for space on the city’s choicest blocks. Most aggressive, according to a July New York Post report, are the drivers of Mister Softee trucks. Said a Yogo frozen yogurt vendor, “If you see a Mister Softee truck, you know bad things are coming,” including, reported the Post, such hardball tactics as cutting rival trucks’ brake lines.
CAN’T POSSIBLY BE TRUE The Treasury Department’s inspector general reported in August that the IRS doled out more than $5 billion in fraudulent income tax returns in 2011 (owing to its mission to provide refunds promptly without first vetting the claims). The agency “refunded” $3.3 million to a single address in Lansing, Mich. (supposedly the home of 2,137 different tax filers) and nearly $4 million to three Florida addresses (518 to one in Tampa, 741 to one in Belle Glade, and 703 to a post office box in Orlando). In all, refunds were claimed by, among others, 105,000 dead people.
100 POUNDS OR 15 MINUTES? Wesley Warren Jr., 47, of Las Vegas, suffers from rare elephantiasis of the scrotum, which accounts for about 100 of his 400 pounds and severely hampers urination and sex. The Las Vegas ReviewJournal reported in October 2011 that Warren was on the verge of accepting an offer to cover the expensive corrective surgery, but when the newspaper followed up in June 2012, it found him hesitant because he had become accustomed to his celebrity status (TV’s The Learning Channel and Tosh.0 program and Howard Stern’s radio show). Said he, “It was fun going to Los Angeles [for Tosh.0] in the big van they sent for me.”
ANIMAL BEHAVIOR In July, the U.K.’s Wildlife Aid Foundation took in a dying, parasite-infested cuckoo bird, but by the time it had been nursed back to health, it had missed its species’s winter migration toward Africa. Consequently, according to BBC News, the foundation bought an airline ticket for a handler to carry the bird to Italy, where satellite tracking indicated it could meet up with the end of the migrating flock, and the handler released it.

Jungle Island zoo in Miami uses tricked-out iPads so that orangutans can order food by pointing at their choices on a screen. As zookeeper Linda Jacobs noted, “They have all the intelligence they need (but not) developed vocal chords and voiceboxes.” And a Taru Jurug Zoo official in Central Java, Indonesia, reported in July that “Tori,” its famous, 13-year-old cigarette-smoking orangutan, had been moved with her boyfriend to an isolated island with recreational facilities so she could kick her nicotine habit. At Taru Jurug, visitors kept enabling her by tossing her cigarettes. ■ chuck@mauitime.com To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1613n3

MISMANAGEMENT AND MALFEASANCE ALLEGATIONS ARE
CONSUMING
THE 26-YEAR-OLD
WAILUKU MAIN STREET ASSOCIATION.
MAUI’S SMALL TOWNS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME,
AND THAT’S A GOOD THING. BY ANTHONY PIGNATARO
T
here’s a firestorm of controversy engulfing the Wailuku Main Street Association these days. The nonprofit organization may have lasted 26 years–over the last decade alone it’s consumed more than $2 million of county tax money–but there are now serious questions whether it will survive deputy Attorney General Hugh Jones’ allegations of mismanagement, malfeasance and even “illegal” activity. For most people, this must be a shock. For more than a quarter century, the WMSA–personified by Jocelyn Perreira, its colorful, powerful executive director for nearly the entire time–has been one of the most visible non-government forces in Maui. Like no other organization, WMSA was a leading force driving Maui to keep its small town feel. But a few years ago, say former WMSA board members and officials with the County of Maui, the organization began to disintegrate into factions. For Sam Clark, who spent much of 2011 as chairman of the WMSA board of directors, nothing exemplifies that more than the May 2011 meeting he and
10 SEPTEMBER 13, 2012
Perreira had with Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa and county Planning Director Will Spence in Arakawa’s ninth floor office. “That meeting really opened my eyes,” Clark said. They were discussing county requests for more information about what WMSA was actually doing with the $243,000 or so in tax money the organization got every year, which provided nearly all of its funding. According to Clark, Perreira soon exploded into a tirade. “She chewed up Will Spence and [his deputy] Michele Chouteau, associating them with the previous administration,” Clark recalled. “She went off on the Planning Department for 45 minutes. It was pretty bad.” Eventually, Clark said, Arakawa tired of it. “If you don’t shut up,” Arakawa told Perreira, according to Clark, “I’m leaving right now.” Perreira refused to comment at all for this story, Spence said he couldn’t comment on the WMSA situation and a spokesman for Arakawa said simply, “no comment” when asked about the meeting. But the exchange–which two other sourc-
es familiar with the encounter confirmed to MauiTime–is an extraordinary glimpse into Perreira’s mind. Here she was, insulting and haranguing the very same county officials who she wanted to give her nearly a quarter million dollars. Clark said he gained control of the meeting for “about half a sentence,” only to lose the floor to Perreira again, who once again began blasting the county for daring to question her or her organization. After the meeting, Clark said, he reamed Perreira outside–so much so, he said, that she began to cry. “Maybe you ought to look for a new ED,” she said, according to Clark. “She was like that,” Clark said. “After the meeting, she was apologetic. But after that weekend, she was the bear again. The softening was over. She ran through three emotions all the time: belligerent, apologetic and then a complete denial that she had done anything wrong.” Clark, citing Perreira’s complete unwillingness to provide him various documents or information–including a copy of the organization’s own bylaws–resigned from the WMSA board that November. In his Aug. 30
report on WMSA (which came in the form of an extremely readable letter to WMSA attorney Kevin Jenkins), Deputy Attorney General Jones called for the WMSA board to “terminate” Perreira immediately. If his office doesn’t get a great deal more information very soon, sources close to the investigation say, WMSA may soon simply cease to exist. Explaining why WMSA, one of the bestconnected organizations in Maui history, went from golden child of the County of Maui–an entire generation of County Councils never, ever questioned their grant requests, which added up to $2.2 million over the last decade alone–to the subject of a blistering Hawaii Attorney General report that alleged a dizzying array of troubles including, but not limited to, mismanagement of county tax money, multiple violations of its own bylaws and even making a political contribution that is not only illegal but could imperil the organization’s non-profit tax status is not an easy question. The only thing that is clear is that Tom Cannon, WMSA’s current board chairman, has loudly and fervently denied all
the wrongdoing alleged by the attorney general. In fact, Cannon insisted that Jones “stole” property from WMSA during his investigation: “AG Jones has refused to respond to repeated requests from our attorney to explain why he is in possession of WMSA property not included in his subpoena (but used in his interrogation of our Executive Director) that was STOLEN from WMSA’s office and reported stolen to the Maui Police Department (ref.: MPD No. 12-027312),” Cannon wrote. “We want these stolen materials returned immediately and have asked for them repeatedly. How can a public official use stolen property without consequence, then when questioned, retaliate with his baseless negative letter. This is abuse of power.” According to Jones, the “stolen” property was a copy of the WMSA bylaws, which he said was obtained through his office’s subpoena. That part of Cannon’s defense may be comedic, but there was nothing remotely funny about his defense of Perreira. “Most egregious in AG Jones’ letter is his criticism of our Executive Director (ED) who has been an outstanding WMSA employee for 26-plus years,” Cannon wrote in an “initial response” to AG Jones’ letter on Sept. 4 (there is no word on when his formal response to Jones will be available). “It is highly unlikely that we could find a qualified successor to our ED... She is a 4th generation Mauian who has a small business background including shopping center management, real estate, small business ownership, and extensive community leadership experience. She was president of the Maui County Council of Community Associations, a leader in the Decision Maui process, a Community Plan Advisory Committee Member, a Maui Redevelopment Agency Commissioner, and has participated in several issue-oriented Mayoral & Council Task Force groups dealing with Smart Growth, Open Space, Technology, Visitor Initiatives, and the Iao Theater Preservation & Reuse effort.” Cannon went on (and on), calling her “irreplaceable” and even became vulgar, insisting that Perreira “is honest and capable of taking an incredible ration of shit to protect our local community, local ways, and local economies.” Then Cannon added that the WMSA Board “was forced to temporarily lay our ED off (effective soon) due to our lack of sufficient funds,” which–he insisted– “makes AG Jones’ suggestion that we terminate our ED a moot point.” That “lack of sufficient funds” line is very curious, considering that one of Deputy Attorney General Jones’ findings was that “[a]ll of WMSA’s liquid assets (last publicly reported at $256,000) are not invested but remain deposited in a non interest bearing bank account in excess of FDIC insurance limits contrary to professional advice allegedly given as early as its 2009 fiscal year audit by WMSA’s external auditor.” In fact, WMSA’s current financial situation remains the largest unanswered question of Jones’ investigation. What’s more, WMSA’s “temporarily” laying off Perreira does in no way negate Jones’ recommendation that the board sack her, since the organization could very easily hire her again in the near future.
According to Jones’ findings, Perreira may have sacrificed her organization’s valuable tax-exempt status by signing an official WMSA check for $200 to the Friends of Alan Arakawa (the campaign, a mayoral spokesman said, returned the money). In the world of nonprofit organizations, the Internal Revenue Service’s rule that such groups not engage in politicking is extremely well known. All of these questions add up to an inescapable but brutal truth for WMSA: Jones has not ended his investigation, but in fact, just started it. County of Maui officials are also increasingly concerned over what WMSA staff has
James “Kimo” Apana, ILWU Local 142 head Willie Kennison and so on. It’s not merely that Perreira and WMSA were friends to Maui’s political establishment–they were the establishment. In many ways, WMSA took the “small town” nature of its advocacy a little too literally, and did business the way quaint little Mainland towns did a century ago: by schmoozing pols and local officials in backroom meetings. Everything was friendly, but real quiet. In many respects, it’s amazing the always-aggressive Perreira–whose remarkably detailed Linkedin page says
“There is little evidence of actual program services by WMSA in the last two years” been doing with office equipment, computers and files. “The county Corporation Counsel has questions of its own,” said county communications director Rod Antone. Mike Foley spent four years as Planning Director during Mayor Arakawa’s first term off office, which ran from 2003 to 2007. During that time, he said, he fought WMSA’s grant requests. “I tried to eliminate her funding or at least move it away from the Planning Department,” Foley told me. “But she had strong support of the County Council. I could never understand where that support came from.” Today, the council members are largely keeping mum about the WMSA. “I’m waiting to see their official response,” said Council member Don Couch, “and talk to some of their board members.” Perreria was one of, if not the, most connected person on Maui. Indeed, a list of various WMSA board members since the organization’s creation reads like a Who’s Who of Maui history: Alexander & Baldwin lobbyist Mercer “Chubby” Vicens, former county Planning Director John Min, Council member Riki Hokama (as well as his father Goro Hokama), former Council member Mike Molina, developer Bill Frampton, former state Senator/current Wailuku Water Co. president Avery Chumbley, Maui Memorial CEO Wesley Lo, former Maui Council member Velma McWayne Santos, planning consultant Chris Hart, former Maui Mayor
she’s also part-owner of Pugee’s Trucking Co. in Haiku, spent five years as assistant manager of the Azeka Place Shopping Center before taking over the WMSA and once won an award for typing 90 words per minute while a student at St. Anthony’s–got away with it for so long. “I don’t understand why she had all that support,” Foley said. “But she was always taking credit for projects that she didn’t work on.” Still, even Foley admits that Perreira and WMSA did achieve some good for Wailuku by helping with the redesign of Market Street parking. “It did improve pedestrian access but the loss of a few parking spaces did bother some businesses,” he said. For Clark, he also agreed that even in the recent past, Wailuku Main Street Association did do good for the island–he would never have agreed to join the board if he thought otherwise. “I remember Barto in Makawao,” Clark said, referring to Perreira’s move a few years ago to trim down the proposed Barto Shopping Center that would have completely blown away Makawao’s small town feel. “I liked how she handled that.” But Clark said that was five or six years ago. These days, WMSA’s work on behalf of Maui’s small towns is far less visible. “There is little evidence of actual program services by WMSA in the last two years,” Jones wrote in his report. “No WMSA staff has any design or architectural expertise or degrees... and WMSA has not contracted for
any such expertise according to documents produced to our office in response to the AG Subpoena despite the fact that the core function of WMSA is to ‘formally’ review construction and development projects. The Executive Director [Perreira] testified that no design professional was contracted to provide services since 2009.” Jones added in his report that the County of Maui has also lately been asking WMSA for “more information regarding their supposed reviews and consultations,” but “the information has been withheld as being ‘confidential.’” That, Jones reported, “appears to have allowed WMSA to build up a significant reserve of over $250,000 from County/taxpayer funding.” For most stories like this, the ending would be bleak–filled with gloom about how Maui and Wailuku will survive the loss of such a powerful advocate for smart development. Except this isn’t that kind of story. The reality is that other organizations have already been moving into the vacuum created by WMSA’s absence. First is the Wailuku Community Association. Though more like a gathering of town merchants than residents, it has most notably spearheaded the First Friday town parties held on Market Street each month. From 5-9pm on the first Friday of every month, thousands of people gather in Wailuku Town, strolling up and down Market Street between Main and Vineyard (which the police close off to auto traffic), shopping, listening to a variety of live musical acts or sampling a huge array of local foods. In fact, the party has become so successful that the county hired Gilbert & Associates to market three other town parties–Lahaina, Makawao and Paia– each month, though those events have yet to take off like Wailuku’s. ReWailuku, the other effort, began in early 2012. Run mainly by Erin Wade and David Yamashita–two County of Maui planners– that organization has sought broad community input as part of a true grassroots attempt to return Wailuku to some of the grandeur and importance it used to enjoy. Following an extended “open house” in the spring when more than 500 residents filled out comment cards and described what they like–and don’t like–about Wailuku, reWailuku is preparing for a series of “Branding Exercises” which will take place from Sept. 18-21. There, at the corner of Market and Main, planners will hold a series of workshops for the general public. “[These] workshops will provide us with the ideas and vision to steer the branding process,” states the official reWailuku blog (rewailuku.com). “These workshops will be open to invited target markets as well as the general public.” Once completed, the reWailuku planners will present their findings to the Maui Redevelopment Agency in October. Both efforts have, so far, proven quite popular. In many ways, they represent the future of Wailuku and Maui’s small towns as a whole–a future that, at least for the past few years, has not included the Wailuku Main Street Association. ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1613L

Dave’s Killer Bread From prison to Portland to Costco on Maui BY JEN RUSSO As the company workforce quickly rose from 35 to 270, Dahl realized he also had an opportunity to change the lives of others. Today, 30 percent of his employees are convicted felons. I recently got the chance to speak with Dahl: MAUITIME: What sets Dave’s Killer Bread apart from other bread normally found in a grocery store? DAVE DAHL: When I developed the first few “Killer Bread” varieties, I wasn’t thinking about cost—only that I had to make the tastiest, seediest, chewiest whole-grain bread possible. The result is a product whose flavor and mouth feel are exceptional. It’s the Cadillac of organic, whole-grain breads. You can’t make bread like this for cheap.

own creative variations. MT: What’s the story behind your brand design (comics, logo, art style)? DD: We had a shoestring budget at the start of DKB in 2005. We found a bright, young (and broke, like I was) cartoonist who I worked with very closely to craft whimsical, cute (often meaningful) artwork, which clearly has been instrumental to the brand’s identity. He still works for us today. MT: Why did you hate making bread earlier in life, and why do you love it now? DD: I had a lot of personal demons when I was a young man, which led me down a self-destructive path of drugs and crime. At that time, baking bread or being a part of the family business didn’t appeal to me. I had little selfesteem and turned to drugs, crime and imprisonment for decades. Discovering the concepts of humility and acceptance, subsequent mental health treatment (anti-depressants) and meaningful higher education (computer-aided drafting/design) while still in prison helped me to see I could do most anything I set my mind to within reason. I could have applied the principles to digging ditches and cleaning toilets if that’s where I had to start. Fortunately, I saw an opportunity to return to the family bread business and make a mark, using the same basic principles of product design that I learned drafting in prison. The passion, desire to work hard (about 80 hours a week) and make something cool happen, and understanding of my unique situation (including where I had been and how I had overcome it) all added up to a successful business. It’s really important for me to point out that financial “success” was never a driver. I was successful in my mind already, before I even made the first loaf of bread. MT: What would you say to your young-
er self if you had the chance? DD: I would say: Don’t be subject to peer pressure. Love yourself for who you are right now, and work hard to get better. Humility is strength. Enjoy the journey, no matter how tough it gets. Never run away. Always face every challenge. Try meds for the depression. I don’t know if I would have listened, but I hope that others do! MT: What’s the mission you’re trying to accomplish with the business? DD: Dave’s Killer Bread is very much a vision-driven company. Quite simply, our vision is to make the world a better place, one loaf of bread at a time. To this end, we strive to be a positive force in the community, as well as create a respectful and enjoyable place for our employees to work. More specifically, I want to inspire others to do similar things to turn their lives around. I’m selfish–I live here, so I want my world to be a better place (which begins with me). I speak to countless groups of high schoolers, businesspeople, college students, prisoners… you name it, simply telling my story. Our company has given back in many, many ways, including employing ex-felons, who make up about one third of our 270-member force. All of our giving back seems to come back to us 10-fold. MT: What’s the price of your bread at Costco on Maui? DD: Right now, Costco is selling a twopack of our 21 Whole Grains bread for $9.29.

Who Likes Great Music? Maui Jazz & Blues Festival returns to the Grand Wailea BY JEN RUSSO
W
hen you think of Jazz and Blues, Blues you probably imagine smokey back alleys and underground New Orleans jazz clubs. Certainly not tropical beaches and boat rides, though you’d be wrong to count those out. Last year Ken MartinezBurgmaier of Jazz Alley TV saw the possibilities for bringing the music traditions of the south on a trans-Pacific journey to Hawaii. It certainly worked, because now he’s preparing for the second annual Maui Jazz and Blues Festival at the Grand Wailea. This weekend John Keawe will perform his new Jazz/slack key fusion called “Slazz” on the stage with Zydeco accordion master Corey Ledet, Benny Uyetake, Kalama School Intermediate’s Ukulele Jazz Cats, Louisiana Hall of Famer Camile Baudoin and Na Hoku Hano Hano winner Brother Noland. It’s a Jazz and Blues gala like no other. “We had a tremendous attendance from the inaugural event last year so we are thrilled to be able to bring back the Jazz & Blues Festival for the second year,” says Christina Yumul, director of Public Relations at the Grand Wailea. “The main event on Saturday night is going to be spectacular with a brilliant line-up of award-winning and jazz and blues legend taking the stage at the Molokini Gardens by Wailea beach." The event starts Thursday with a Jazz celebration at Capische? at 6pm (reservations recommended). On Friday, a Jazz sunset cruise on the Kai Kananai will have champagne and pupus. There will also be a sneak peek of the festivities at the Botero Bar, which will light up the Grand Wailea up with music for the whole weekend. Saturday night’s Festival is the event we are all waiting for. Then Sunday, the Kai Kanani sets sail again with Jazz, Blues and snorkeling on the agenda. If you’re not seaworthy, head for the Grand Wailea for their jazz brunch. (see page 22 for the complete rundown of events and contact information for tickets.) Artists include Joe Louis Walker, Corey Ledet, Skip Martin, Eric Marienthal, Javon Jackson, Louis Hayas and Camile Baudoin, along with other Hawaiian and Maui artists. Napua Art Gallery at the Grand will also have a special showing of art by Ruby Mazur. He’s known for his talented contributions to album art like the mouth
and tongue on the “Tumblin Dice” record sleeve for the Rolling Stones. Skip Martin, who performed at last year’s festival, says he plays the trumpet because he “thought it would be easy to play because it only had three buttons and a small mouth piece.” It may
Last year, Javon Jackson and Delfeayo Marsalis did a few workshops at Kalama School in Makawao, a practice MartinezBurgmaeir says “is important to share these artists with our keiki of Maui to inspire the future generations of artists.” Martinez-Burgmaier adds that “the New
years with the Radiators. “I notice a very interesting similarity between the Hawaiian and Zydeco ways of playing,” he says. “The finger-style and various tunings of the instruments have certain flavors in common as to the vocal nuances. I hope to bring a Bluesy-CountryZydeco tablet of music to the island to further expose what I consider to be a fun niche of music that I grew up with and played all my life.” Zydeco, characterized by fast tempos, washboard sounds and a strong accordion, is closely connected to Louisiana and Creole culture. Corey Ledet is immersed in this style and strives to bring Creole music to the forefront. He says Zydeco is changing, but not necessarily for the better. “Oh buddy, yes, for the worst,” he says. “It’s no longer about tradition, it’s now about flash. We are losing the culture. My music is called Zydeco which is the music of the black French-speaking Creoles of Southwest Louisiana. I am a Creole. I have always been around Zydeco since I was a child.” Which is why a festival like this is so important. “There is nothing like a great Jazz and Blues tune to change your attitude,” says Martinez-Burgmaier. “With just a few notes, you will get your head moving.” Yumul of the Grand Wailea agrees. “What makes jazz and blues so wonderful are the different types within the genre depending on the musicians origin and style,” she says. “The improvisation the musicians master is hypnotic and entertaining at the same time. You can’t help but feel cool.”

Righteeeeoouuusss!! Finding Nemo returns in 3D BY BARRY WURST II
Finding Nemo 3D ★★★★★
Rated G / 100 Min.
T
he big news isn’t that Finding Nemo has returned in 3D (an admittedly good format for a movie like this) but how, once again, it can be experienced on the big screen. This is one of the most magnificent achievements in the history of the Pixar Animation company, a perfect blend of brilliant animation and intelligent screenwriting. The opportunity to see a film this timeless, beautiful and funny in a movie theater is not to be missed. Most have seen the film at least once, since it was one of the most popular films of 2003, but here’s a refresher: in Australian waters, a clownfish named Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) loses his son, Nemo, who is captured and placed in a dentist office fish tank. Marlin finds an unlikely ally in a child-like fish named Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres), who aides him on his quest to
find his son, despite her frequent bouts of short-term memory loss. Revisiting the film nine years later, I was frequently overcome with emotion (which is to say, I cried a lot) and found myself deeply moved by the story’s handling of its central theme: how parents can sometimes smother their kids when trying to keep them from danger. The story oddly mirrors the classic The Bicycle Thief and makes a series of nods to Hitchcock and The Odyssey, as every turn Marlin and Dory make in the ocean is often an excursion into danger. Tonally, the film is a textbook example of how to switch gears, as intense scenes of peril are interrupted by surprising comic set pieces. One of the great scenes in this or any Pixar film is the darkly funny set piece where Dory and Marlin encounter a group of sharks; rather than eating them, the sharks want them to participate in their shark self-help group. That’s just the set-up for a howler of a sequence, which, in a hilarious touch, features Eric Bana as the voice of a hammerhead shark. The humor balances some of the more wrenching moments, such
as the first scene, which will remind many of Bambi, as Marlin is relishing his family’s new home, until... Even better in 3D You won’t care that the characters are fish and, the animation is so breathtaking and vividly realized, you may often forget you’re watching a “cartoon.” The underwater world has a startling accuracy and so do the mannerisms of the characters. One of the funnier running jokes is how, since he’s a clownfish, everyone assumes Marlin is funny: the look of sinking disappointment on the other fishes’ faces as he fails to tell a joke is priceless. So are the vocal performances, with DeGeneres never better as a character many will remember as foolish, until her struggle to keep her memory intact becomes truly dire. Brooks is also in top form, though my favorite character has always been Gill, a scarred but determined fish, voiced perfectly by Willem Dafoe.
Most will remember Dory’s mantra of “Just Keep Swimming” and the swarm of sea turtles who speak fluent Dude (“Righteous! Righteeeeoouuusss!!”). Revisiting a film this visually and thematically layered again, you’ll notice the funny bits that may have been missed in the background, like how Nemo is being held captive by the worst dentist in Australia. There’s also the action sequences, which are edge of your seat exciting, particularly an aerial chase in a Sydney harbor. Pixar once again cements their reputation as a crew of great cinematic storytellers, and this is one of the great ones, a milestone film for them and a gift for audiences everywhere. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1613f

QUIZunderstood ANSWERS ...to questions from page 4
1: D–BJ Penn BY CAERIEL CRESTIN VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Kittens, teenagers, and lovers simply don’t respond well to uninvited discipline, no matter how much they need it. Sucks for you, when you’ve got livid red scratch marks all over your ankles and/or ego from their rambunctiously playful antics. It’s tragic that they don’t even stop once they’ve drawn blood—unless it’s their own. Learning to control the frisky characters in your life is hardly a worthwhile objective, either—since their wildness is something you crave and enjoy. So, what to do? My philosophy: If you can’t (or don’t want to) beat them, joining them could be a shit-ton of fun. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Your mantra this week: This plan is so crazy, it just might work! In fact, if your scheme’s too normal, it’s practically bound to fail. If you were born into another time you’d probably be a starship captain, and, as we all know, insane strategies are practically the modus operandi of interstellar adventurers. Avoiding clichés and predictability this week is your main purpose in life. Surprise yourself with what you get up to! Otherwise, the fleet of enforcer ships in hot pursuit will know exactly what you’re up to, and you’ll be incarcerated in intergalactic jail for the next twenty cycles. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Mama Scorpion has the best-behaved babies in all the zodiac. She’s a good mother—she lets the pale little infant monsters ride around on her back until they’re old enough to poison, maim, and devour on their own. Meanwhile, she does all that stuff for them. Aw, how sweet. That deadly stinger poised above their heads must make them feel completely safe—and utterly unable to act out. Having powerful allies and advocates can be useful—just make sure they don’t cramp your style, especially when you’re so good at stinging and conquering on your own. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Effectively creating (or tweaking) your reality can require more finesse than a gourmet meal. Simply combining the correct amounts of all the right ingredients and following the recipe doesn’t always work, especially on the first try. No cookbook can possibly account for those intangible variables that might affect the outcome, like your altitude, your mood, or your oven’s inaccuracy. Trying to do things by the book this week could prove more disastrous, rubbery, and inedible than a collapsed soufflé. Trust your instincts instead; especially because half the people you’re dealing with have ovens that run ten degrees hotter or colder than the number on the dial. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) “Hardly Trying” is hardly in your repertoire, let alone a familiar act like “Trying Too Hard” and “Giving It Your All.” It might just be beyond you, but could you at least half-try “Half-Trying?” This week you run an extremely high risk of being permanently branded overzealous, too intense, or overqualified for your job, relationship, or volunteer duties. Like all strengths, even your usually admirable focus and persistence can be a weakness in certain contexts. Take a holiday break from your overachievement. Except for my assignment, adopt this mantra this week: If at first you don’t succeed, give up for now. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Can I just tell you how often my big, sloppy ego has gotten in the way of my true hopes? You know what I’m talking about. How many times have you sabotaged something that’s almost in your grasp, only because the means failed to fulfill some grandiose vision of yourself? The irony: your self-sabotage can only reinforce your negative self-images. Fulfilling your desires, by whatever means, can only enhance your greatness. The clue: Sometimes, a little humility is required to get what you want. Think of it as taking one step back so you can take two steps forward. Works for me, when I can manage to do it. Now you try.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) You tread unfamiliar territory so often that routines, habits, and sure things are more strange and frightening than the unknown ever was. That’s why this newest chapter is giving you some qualms—you can tell already that it’s going to be great, instead of the pleasant uncertainty you’re used to. Would it help if I told you that it’s going to be incredible in a way that you’ve simply never experienced before, and beyond anything even your prodigious imagination has conjured up yet? Got a few nervous butterflies? Good. They’ll help when the latest plot twist blows your mind—and who knows what else. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) A butterfly is far too fragile to be your new power animal, but I’d like to give it to you anyway, perhaps as a totem…accessory. It perfectly embodies the necessary journey you undertake at least once—and often many times—during your lifetime. Periodically (like this week), you’re frustrated because you’re not granted the respect you know you deserve. People see you as little, cute, and fuzzy, perhaps a bit of a pest—something akin to a poisonous (but only if you eat it) caterpillar. There’s not much you can do about it but turn inward and transform yourself (again). Ironically, once you flutter beyond your cocoon, not only will you get more admiration than ever before; you’ll care about and need it even less.
2: D–All of the above 3: D–Las Vegas

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) I almost started a food fight in the café when I innocently tried to toss scraps to my dog. It was an accident, but no one likes scrambled eggs in their hair, especially old ladies. Luckily, she didn’t notice, and I managed to surreptitiously brush it out when I pretended to bump into her. Bits of your own good deed might piss someone off when they get caught in the crossfire. Remember, one dog’s treat can be another old biddy’s nightmare. When delivering blessings this week, make sure you aim at the right person (the one who’ll best appreciate them). GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) I hate keeping secrets from you, and I’m no good at it either. That’s why I can’t keep my mouth shut about this one: someone you love is hiding something incredible, and mind-blowingly surprising. Before you explode with rage or curiosity, let me explain: It’s the kind of secret that not only improves with time, but one that you’re better off not knowing at all (at least until the time is right). Think: Surprise birthday parties, money hidden under the floorboards, and rich, anonymous patrons. Now can you just shut up and enjoy not knowing, please? CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Imagine yourself building a brick wall six feet high. Would you start by stacking bricks, one wobbling column at a time? Of course not. If you want your wall to last, you’ve got to build it one horizontal layer at a time, staggering the individual bricks from row to row, and slapping a healthy layer of mortar in between to hold it all together. The same thing goes for the mental defense you’re trying to construct. You don’t want the whole thing to come tumbling down at the slightest touch. But don’t get carried away, either—it’s got to stay just tall enough and strong enough to keep out the losers and prove the mettle of the winners who make it over, or through. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Flying high on romance can cause a painful concussion, whenever you slam your skull against the glass ceiling beyond which only movies and fairy tales can go. Love affairs are, by far, the most effective destabilizers known to Leo-kind; they have more undertow per square inch than the Bermuda Triangle. Before you become completely lost while riding that hurricane of emotion, let me remind you to tether yourself to familiar territory with an unbreakable carbotanium cable. In case you haven’t already, do it this week— you should be touching down briefly on the last island of solidity before you hit the open sea.
