marriage as their reason for voting for other candidates,” stated the story. “Instead they complained about the way Abercrombie handled contract negotiations with teachers and his proposal to tax pensioners.”

Look, this paper actually liked the Abercrombie Administration, thought he did a solid job as governor and endorsed him for reelection. And he can go into retirement any way he likes. But it would be wise for him to remember that Hawaii has had many leaders in its past and how we remember them now is due to actions they took while they were alive.

GOING OUT WITH (DIS)HONOR

PHOTO BY INTIAZ RAHIM /FLICKR

So this weekend I got a chance to spend a few days relaxing over on the Big Island.

And me being the history nerd that I am, I insisted on visiting the imposing and extremely well preserved Pu‘ukohola Heiau, site of perhaps the second most important death in Hawaii in the last couple of centuries (the most important being the killing of Captain James Cook at Kealakekua Bay a couple dozen miles away).

It’s an impressive site. It was clear the day I went, and I could easily see Haleakala off in the distance. That’s significant, because as is well known, Pu‘ukohola is where Kamehameha I really got his spiritual start in conquering the Hawaiian islands.

Bolstered by a prophecy that he would rule the archipelago if he built a massive heiau to the war god Ku, Kamehameha ordered its construction in 1790 (he personally even helped move rocks, according to the National Park Service). When it was done a year later, the ever cagey Kamehameha invited his cousin–and greatest Hawaii Island rival–Keoua Kuahu‘ula to the dedication ceremony. As for what happened next, I’ll let the National Park Service (NPS) explain: “Perhaps awed by the power of the heiau and its god, perhaps resigned to the ascendancy of his cousin, Keoua Kuahu‘ula came willingly to what would be his doom,” states the NPS brochure given out at the heiau. “When he arrived there was a scuffle and, whether Kamehameha intended it or not, Keoua and almost all his companions were slain. The body of Keoua was carried to the heiau and offered as the principle sacrifice to Ku.” If Keoua knew he was no match for Kamehameha and yet still walked to his own death, then his demise is a chilling but provocative example of how a leader can give up power honorably. Indeed, there’s a powerful Herb Kane painting (“The Ar-

rival of Keoua Below Pu‘ukohola”) hanging in the visitor center that seems to show exactly this realism: he knew he was done and he accepted it.

Ironically, the day I visited Pu‘ukohola Heiau–Saturday, Aug. 30–Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie offered up a prime and unfortunate example of how not to deal with impending loss. He did this in that most modern of ways–by telling reporters that his August Primary reelection loss was due to Republicans who nefariously voted for Democratic candidate David Ige as a way of punishing Abercrombie over his support for same-sex marriage.

“Republicans crossed over en masse to vote in the Democratic primary, and then the religious factor came in,” Abercrombie said, according to an Aug. 30 Associated Press story. “Doctrinally I was outside the circle and paid for it.”

I’m not going to outline here all the reasons why voters kicked Abercrombie to the curb last month (you can read our Aug. 13 story “Why Gov. Neil Abercrombie Lost & Other Things We Learned From The Hawaii Primary Election” for that). But the always dry AP did very briefly explain why Abercrombie’s claim is whiny nonsense: “Voters interviewed at polling stations by The Associated Press did not mention gay

Silversword. Then in August 2013, UH climate scientist Richard Zeebe put forward a report showing that global warming would be more intense and longlasting than previously thought.

It’s all bad news, and it’s all well documented (though substantial political change seems all but non-existent). And now UH has released a new, very easy to read report putting everything together as to how exactly climate change will alter Hawaii as we know it. And this time, national media seems to be noticing–not because the science is overwhelming or revolutionary, but because it’s dawning on people that their future Hawaiian vacations may be ruined.

“Climate change has its sights on its next victim, and it’s one of America’s favorite vacation spots,” stated an Aug. 28 Huffington Post article, which noted that the Hawaii Tourism Authority funded the new UH study. “Hawaii is known for

Future beach coming soon?

researchers published a report saying the trade winds that make life so pleasant–and possible–in Hawaii are steadily decreasing.

Four months later, UH researchers published a study showing that climate change would most likely doom the Haleakala

its near perfect weather, but a new report from the University of Hawaii’s Sea Grant program states that islands in the Pacific might be unrecognizable in the coming years as climate change makes them hotter, arid, stormy and even disease-ridden.”

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser, which also published a big article on the report, asked simply, “Is this the kind of place tourists will want to visit?”

Of course, climate change will cause some sort of drastic change to just about every place on the planet over the next century, but if worrying whether the Ka‘anapali and Wailea resorts are going to get inundated by rising sea level (it doesn’t look good) gets people to start paying attention to the damage industrialization has been doing to the earth, then so much the better. ■

AMOS SPACE CONFERENCE COMING SOON TO MAUI

Maui Wilderness

MAUI PD ENDS ‘DRIVE SOBER OR GET PULLED OVER’ CAMPAIGN

Haleakala National Park will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act during the first week of September with special programs and activities at all Haleakala NP visitor centers. Wednesday, Sept. 3 was the official 50th anniversary of the legislation that gave public lands their highest level of protection–where natural processes are to be protected forever and left unchanged for future generations.

The Wilderness Act ensured that there would always be areas of undeveloped public lands set aside to protect watersheds, diverse ecosystems, habitats, and biodiversity, in addition to the visitor centers, campgrounds, or other types of development for visitors’ use and enjoyment located at many national parks.

“In traditional Native Hawaiian context, there is no division between nature and culture,” said Superintendent Natalie Gates in an Aug. 30 news release. “The concept of Wilderness as a place that must remain unspoiled is consistent with Native Hawaiian reverence for the aina.”

More than 80 percent of Haleakala is Wilderness and provides critical habitat for endangered species like the Kiwikiu (Maui parrotbill), a species of sandalwood, and six species of geranium that are found only in the park. “Unlike the Nene or Silversword, which can be observed near developed areas of the park, some of these rare species are hard to see,” Gates said. “All of these species are important nonetheless and depend on the Wilderness of Haleakala for survival.”

Today, more than 106 million acres of federal lands are Wilderness; 44 million acres are in national parks. One champion of the Wilderness Act was Laurance Rockefeller, who was instrumental in local efforts to preserve the Kipahulu District as part of Haleakala National Park.

For more information about Haleakala National Park, go to Nps.gov/hale.

Considering it was a concerted local effort on behalf of a national campaign, you’d think the Maui Police Department would have arrested more people for drunk driving as part of its recent “Drive Sober Or Get Pulled Over” push. But according to a Sept. 2 news release from the department, just 57 out of the 240 arrests during the campaign were for drunk driving. The remaining 76 percent of arrests were for “miscellaneous traffic crime” (41 arrests) and “Traffic Warrant” (142 arrests), according to the news release.

“During this eighteen day campaign, which started on August 15th and ran through September 1st, police set up (17) intoxication control checkpoints in various locations throughout Maui County,” MPD Sergeant Nick Krau said in a Sept. 2 news release. “In addition police increased dedicated traffic enforcement saturation patrols using both marked and unmarked police vehicles. All traffic laws were strictly enforced during this campaign with an emphasis being placed on impaired driving.”

The department also issued 1,255 citations during the big push. The offense breakdown is as follows:

Uninsured Motorist citations issued: 220 Driving without a driver’s license citations issued: 112 Speeding citations issued: 139 Mobile Electronic Device (cell phone) citations issued: 49 Miscellaneous traffic violation citations issued: 735 Though such a small portion of the actual arrests had anything to do with drunk driving, Krau nonetheless insisted that the operation was a success in the department’s war on drinking and driving in all its forms.

“Too many families have already been devastated by the tragic, preventable deaths of loved ones in alcohol-involved crashes,” Krau said in the news release. “We want to put an end to these tragedies. We participated in the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign because

MAUI BREWING COMPANY TAKES TO SKIES Maui Brewing Company’s Bikini Blonde Lager is now being served on Hawaiian Airlines’ international routes, making the local product the “Official Craft Beer of Hawaiian Airlines.” In addition, MBC’s Bikini Blonde will be offered on domestic flights to and from the U.S. Mainland beginning Oct. 1.

“As Hawaii’s largest craft brewery we’re proud to partner with Hawaiian Airlines in having a truly local beer available to passengers,” said Garrett Marrero, founder of Maui Brewing Co. in an Aug. 29 news release.

“I am looking forward to enjoying a great beer as I travel to and from the islands.”

Bikini Blonde Lager is a filtered Munich Helles Lager brewed with floral hops and Pilsner and Munich malts. The company currently has one craft brewery in Lahaina, and one brewpub in Kahana that creates more than 40 different styles on a rotating basis. In 2005, MBC produced 400 barrels from the single brewpub and expanded into an additional brewery location in 2007, producing a little more than 20,000 barrels in 2013.

MBC is currently building an additional brewery in Kihei. That facility will help the company meet current demand, in addition to supplying new markets. The company’s goal is to be brewing and shipping beer from the new brewery by the end of 2014.

HALEAKALA NATIONAL PARK CELEBRATES WILDERNESS ACT

Not sure if you know this, but Maui is the place to be for people who work in what’s known as space surveillance. Basically, that’s anyone (corporate and military) who works at locating and tracking objects in Earth orbit–stuff we launched up there (both active and debris) as well as asteroids and other rocks that end up there. It may sound like Buck Rogers stuff, but given this nation’s low number starships, most of those working in the field don’t actually get to suit up and fly through space.

Starting Sunday, Sept. 7, many of those people will come here to Maui for the big Advanced Maui Optical and Space Surveillance Technologies (AMOS) Conference. Like all big high-tech military-industrial conferences on Maui, it’s being held in Wailea–specifically, the Marriott.

Of course, don’t let the fact that the conference deals with space, satellites and surveillance. That may sound like comic book stuff, but when you look over the AMOS promotional materials, you quickly see it’s anything but.

“The Advanced Maui Optical and Space Surveillance Technologies (AMOS) Conference is the premier technical conference in the nation devoted to space surveillance,” states the AMOS website. “The cross section of military, contractor, and academic participation in the field of space situational awareness is unmatched by any other conference in the world, as evidenced by the continued growth in attendance, and the corresponding increase in technical excellence and collaboration.”

Here are just a few of this year’s many conference seminars, according to the official AMOS Conference agenda: • Ground and Airborne Infrared Astronomy

for Space Situational Awareness • Scalable Conjunction Processing Using Spatiotemporally Indexed Ephemeris Data • Implications of Hierarchies for RSO Characterization, Recognition, and Identification • Next Generation Space Surveillance System-of-Systems • Space Trash Anyway, if space trash or military-industrial-technical aspects of space surveillance interest you, check out Amostech.com for more info. The conference runs Sept. 7-13.

As summed up by a Vox.com writer: “The absurdity runs deep.” America uses American military equipment to bomb American military equipment that ISIS captured (from inept Iraqi soldiers, inept in part since America disbanded Iraq’s professional military in 2003). America’s Kurdish allies, fighting ISIS, use inferior Russian weapons they captured in the 1980s. ISIS has a so-far-safer haven in Syria because America declined to arm moderate Syrian rebels, largely out of fear that radicals like the future ISIS would capture weapons America provided. “So now [America is] bombing the guns that [it] didn’t mean to give ISIS because [America] didn’t give guns to their enemies because then ISIS might get guns.”

Thomas Clark, 28, of Crawley, England, beat one of society’s most foreboding charges in July when he was acquitted of voyeurism even after admitting that he had hidden that video camera in a workplace rest room, and even despite evidence that he formerly worked in the pornography industry. Clark persuaded a Horsham Magistrates Court judge that he suffered an extreme phobia of diarrhea and vomit and that, by hiding the camera, he was thinking only of ascertaining that the restroom was clean before he entered.

IN AMERICA, WE’RE ALL GREAT PARENTS Kayla McKenzie, 22, was charged with DUI in Bismarck, North Dakota, a condition that led her to crash into five separate vehicles or structures on Aug. 12–while, according to police, three unsecured children were in her car, including a year-old infant riding in her lap. Nonetheless, said the 0.252 blood-alcohol driver, “I look like a bad mother, but I’m not.

I’m actually a really good mom.”

SUSPICIOUS CONFIRMED A fire hydrant at 393 University Ave. has brought in more parking ticket revenue (since 2008) than any other hydrant in Toronto–$289,620 on 2,962 violations, according to an August Toronto Star report.

While hydrants are usually located at curbside to facilitate fire-engine access, the one at 393 University Ave. was placed about 20 feet from the curb, in the middle of a sidewalk, and obscured by a tree in a planter about eight feet long. Nonetheless, the law’s wording treats the hydrant, for illegal-parking and revenueearning purposes, as if it were curbside.

for a half-hour (crouching menacingly each time she attempted to retreat). At the closest point, recalled Kyra Kopestonsky, it was about eight feet away. At that point, she told the reporter, “I don’t know why,” but “I just started singing opera really loud.” The mountain lion “sort of put its ears down and ... backed away.” Only then was she able to call a friend, who alerted rescuers.

ARREST HIM AT YOUR PERIL In July, a jury in Brooklyn, New York, awarded Kevin Jarman, 50, $510,000 from the city for the broken ankle he suffered during his arrest for shoplifting in May 2011 (a charge to which he eventually pleaded guilty). Among his other New York City income: a $20,000 settlement for false arrest on a drug charge in 2013 and another, for $15,000, in 2005.

THE BOY WHO WASN’T BULLIED ENOUGH IN SCHOOL Walker Harnden, 19, a sophomore at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, was recognized in April for a Guinness Book record for the highest note ever whistled (B7). Harnden, who told the Raleigh News & Observer that he has “irritated his parents and friends for years,” admits that he whistles “all the time”–up to four or five hours a day.

THE NEW NORMAL In 2010, the village of West Lafayette, Ohio, barred residents from keeping fowl and farm animals, but Iraq war veteran Darin Welker, 36, believes his post-war depression and trauma are unusually well-assisted now that he has befriended 14 pet ducks that he keeps at home. The Department of Veterans Affairs, which paid for Welker’s back surgery, stopped short of providing physical therapy and counseling, causing him more than ever to rely on the ducks, which he says motivate him to get out of the house and provide them with caretaking services.

Village officials, however, cited him in June for misdemeanor fowl-housing.

PERSPECTIVE “Streamers,” according to workers at the state-of-the-art solar plant in California’s Mojave Desert, are birds that cross the path of the 300,000 garage-door-sized mirrors that magnify the sun’s rays on their way to producing steam to power 140,000 homes. Those birds, instantly fried, vanish in plumes of smoke at the rate of perhaps one every two minutes, according to an August Associated Press dispatch from Ivanpah Dry Lake near the Nevada border.

According to federal wildlife officials, the plant’s bright light attracts insects, which then attract even more birds. The operator, BrightSource Energy, said there is no feasible way to protect the birds. ■

WE LOOK AT THE MILITARIZATION OF OUR ISLAND’S POLICE FORCE

magine a robot that can maneuver through a building, climbing stairs and opening doors. Imagine that it can record what it sees and talk to people.

Now imagine that it can hold and use a firearm. If that sounds like science fiction, think again: the Maui Police Department recently took possession of a robot that can do all that.

The “militarization” of our nation’s law enforcement agencies is a big story these days. Earlier this month, people in the small town of Ferguson, Missouri protesting the police shooting of a young African-American man named Michael Brown found themselves facing a phalanx of cops armed and equipped like soldiers in Afghanistan. It’s a trend that’s been building for years, fed by

10 SEPTEMBER 4, 2014

BY ANTHONY PIGNATARO surplus military sales, law enforcement fears of ever-expanding threats and largely compliant public officials who are all too willing to give cops whatever equipment they’re asking for, usually without even discussing in public whether it’s the right fit for police officers tasked with protecting civilian communities.

The police, in turn, refuse to make public the policies governing the equipment, raising serious questions about why the cops wanted the stuff in the first place.

The robot the Maui PD recently bought is a prime example of this. Built by Sunnyvale, California-based RoboteX, it’s called the Avatar II. It looks like a small black tank–maybe two feet long, 15 inches across and six inches deep, according a

company brochure posted on its website.

It weighs 25 pounds without its battery. It can operate 300 yards or so from its base, go four to five hours before draining the battery and climb a 60 degree incline.

The Avatar has a sensor dome and antenna on top and a number of attachments, including a mechanical arm that can reach up and manipulate door handles. It’s controlled like any remote controlled car. And it can do everything described above, though the MPD says it probably won’t be holding a weapon anytime soon. Indeed, then-Maui Police Chief Gary Yabuta told the Maui County Council’s Budget and Finance Committee a year ago that it wouldn’t do so, though his reason seemed to come straight

from an episode of Reno: 911. “[W]e’re not using it for that purpose,” Yabuta told the panel during its April 16, 2013 hearing, in response to a question from Councilmember Elle Cochran, according to the meeting minutes. “And you know what, I had spoken to a chief and it was with the Reno Police Department where they did apply that, and unfortunately the adversary was able to take that particular weapon away from that particular robot, so they had stopped using that application but it is possible with this robot. It just won’t be used for that purpose.”

While Yabuta isn’t Maui Police Chief anymore (and the Maui Police Commission has yet to announce a successor), Maui

Police Spokesman Lt. William Juan recently confirmed to me that the department has taken possession of the robot, which cost the county $17,000, though he added that it hasn’t yet been used in any operations.

As for how the department will use the robot, that’s a larger, murkier question.

Because the MPD considers it a “tactical tool,” the department won’t discuss the conditions or even policies that govern its use. And it’s not just with members of the press, either. When Budget and Finance Committee Chairman Don Guzman asked members of the department a seemingly innocuous question about the robot’s dimensions–information publicly available on the manufacturer’s website–Maui PD Deputy Chief Clayton Tom clammed up.

“Chair, Mr. Guzman, as far as for the robot I don’t think we want to get into particulars on that because it is a tactical–” Tom said, according to the minutes.

Guzman quickly agreed. “Oh, it’s used tactical,” he said. “Okay, okay.”

Yabuta and Tom–who may in fact succeed Yabuta–would only talk about the robot in extremely general terms. They never even used its name in public county hearings–I found the name buried in a 2014 budget document and confirmed it with Juan. But when the robot did come up, they always spoke of it in the context of officer safety.

“We’re asking for a tactical robot so if we get into a hot situation or a building where we have a threat, a violent threat, instead of putting a person in that particular environment to search, we can put in a robot and mechanically control that robot to search the facility to make sure it’s safe before we enter that particular building or residence,” Yabuta told the panel, according to the minutes. nutes. utes.

Tom agreed. “[A]s far as for the robot, r it’s a safety measure; it’s a tool thatt we can use,” Tom added a few minutes later. teer.

Like just about every police department arrtment in the nation, the Maui PD has been n getting a lot of “tools” for their Special Response sp ponse Teams (SRT) in recent years. It predates daates the showdown in Ferguson by decades. s.

“Across the country, heavily armed d Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams aree forcing their way into people’s homes in the middle m of the night, often deploying explosive v devices ve such as flashbang grenades to temporarily oraarily blind and deafen residents, simply to a o serve s search warrant on the suspicion that ssomeomeone may be in possession of a small amount am mount of drugs,” the ACLU states in its 98-page paage report War Comes Home: The excessive siv ive militarization of American Policing, which ch h was released in June. “Neighborhoods are not no ot war zones, and our police officers should d not n be treating us like wartime enemies.””

Through the magic of Twitter and Livestream, I was able to watch the violence and heavy-handed police response in Ferguson in real time, but it seemed all too familiar, though that may just have been because S.W.A.T. was one of my favorite TV shows when I was a kid. But even n with their blue coveralls, M-16 assault rifless and big-ass van, SWAT teams back in the 1970s 1 and ‘80s were still recognizable as cops. p ps.

That changed in 1997, when two wo o bank robbers strapped on body armor and an nd assault rifles and took on the LAPD in n the infamous “North Hollywood Shootout.” otout.” tout ”

Incredibly, just the two assailants died, though 18 other people–including 11 cops–were wounded in the violent engagement, which last more than half an hour.

Though Maui had formed its SRT a few years earlier, suddenly it seemed that every department in the U.S. wanted a quick reaction force armed and trained like combat troops.

We saw the results in Ferguson–though just a small town of 21,000, their department includes SRT members who wear desert camouflage uniforms (without nametags) and gas masks while pointing machine guns at citizens from atop massive armored trucks.

Much of that equipment sits in Maui PD lockers and stations. Though the department doesn’t like to discuss their “tactical” equipment in public, we can find glimpses of the considerable firepower their own SRT wields these days.

For instance, the Maui PD’s 2012 Annual Report (the most recent one available, according to Lt. Juan), includes a photo of three snipers, dressed in Ghillie suits that look more appropriate to Iraq than Maui and toting high-powered, boltaction rifles. Going over Maui County Budget and Finance Committee minutes for the last few years provides a few more details. For instance, in 2012, Yabuta asked for 60 TASERs, 10 ballistic vests for the SRT, 60 similar vests for the rank and file officers and a “tactical vehicle” (more on that in a moment). Then in 2013, the department requested 15 more TASERs, seven more ballistic vests, 10 M-7 assault rifles (costing $2,000 each) and the Avatar robot.

The April 16, 2013 committee meeting minutes show that Councilman Riki Hokama k h d some trouble had bl with h the h M-7 request–not because he opposed giving the department the rifles, but because he didn’t understand what they were. Though Deputy Chief Clayton Tom got confused trying to help him out (he mistaken-

ly called the M-7 a M-6 for some reason), he added some fascinating background on the department’s SRT firepower: HOKAMA: I’m more interested in the M-7 rifles. Can you give us some comment on that, please? Is it just a shotgun type of rifle as, well, let me ask if that’s what it is.

TOM: The M-6 [sic]. it’s a fully automatic rifle. It shoots the 223 round. It’s the same as the AR-15 round. Like the Chief mentioned earlier, we had weapons from 1990… we started the SRT in 1992. We purchased a whole bunch of automatic weapons in 1993, ‘94 and we had issued a MP5 which shoots a 40 caliber round which is similar to our pistol round and we also had the short M16s….

This is to equip our officers out there in the perimeter and in the entry team so it’s a superior weapon fire which is… it’s what a lot of people out there have.

This is the balance of terror that seems to trap every police department in America.

Criminals buy automatic rifles, so the department needs automatic rifles, armored vests and vehicles. Criminals then get armor-piercing rounds and it goes on and on.

“Probably a couple years ago or even a year ago we were registering 150 firearms per month,”Yabuta said at the April 16, 2013 Budget and Finance Committee hearing. “We’re over 900 per month now. And the only reason why we’re not registering more is ‘cause the gun stores are out of guns right now. If you… you can’t even back order a gun right now.

The whole country is trying to get a weapon.”

Yabuta’s answer to such an arms race?

More arms.

“We want to make sure our people, our

tactical people have equipment and weapons that are superior to that being used by our adversary,” Yabuta added. “[W]eapons have changed; they’ve gotten better and we need to keep up with technology ‘cause certainly the adversary has.”

But who exactly the Maui PD’s “adversary” is remains to be seen. Too often, the ACLU reports, that “adversary” ends up being the very citizenry the department is supposed to protect and serve (to borrow the LAPD’s motto).

“Our analysis shows that the militarization of American policing is evident in the training that police officers receive, which encourages them to adopt a ‘warrior’ mentality and think of the people they are supposed to serve as enemies, as well as in the equipment they use, such as battering rams, flashbang grenades, and APCs,” states the ACLU’s War Comes Home report. “This shift in culture has been buoyed by the U.S. Supreme Court’s weakening of the Fourth Amendment (which protects the right to privacy in one’s home) through a series of decisions that have given the police increased authority to force their way into people’s homes, often in drug cases.”

In 2012, Yabuta sold the County Council on the Bearcat by talking up the threat of “active shooters”–gunmen in North Hollywood Shootout type situations. “[A]ctive shooters is [sic] something that can happen at any moment especially when you register about 250 guns per month and those are just legal guns,” Yabuta said at the April 11, 2012 Budget and Finance Committee hearing. “And it just takes one mentally disturbed person to become an active shooter.”

One of the SRT’s highest profile operations ever came in August 2011, a possible active p shooter situation that emerged emerged when an attempted murder suspect barricaded himself barrri in a Kahului home with wom women m and children.

The tense standoff went on ffo for 50 hours–the longest in department histor history, ry, according to The Maui News’’ accounts at the time. tim But it ended deadly force. peacefully, with the SRT not using u Incidents like that, full of o fear and unfield certainty, are why police departments de d Special Response Teams.

Continued from page 11 Then there’s that “tactical vehicle” the Maui PD fielded in 2013. It apparently hasn’t been used yet, but it’s seen a lot of publicity around the country lately.

Called the Lenco Bearcat, it’s a popular armored truck for police departments. The Ferguson PD recently used it against that town’s protesters. Built around the Ford F550 chassis, the Bearcat has a turbo diesel engine, fourwheel drive, dual air-conditioning, power anti-lock brakes and an AM-FM stereo CD player, according to publicity materials available at the Lenco website. It’s 20 feet long, eight feet wide, eight feet tall, weighs 18,000 pounds and has a top speed of 90 miles per hour.

Lenco says the Bearcat is “constructed of certified, US-manufactured armor materials.”

It has “successfully defeated multi-hit attacks from high powered rifles firing armor piercing ammunition [and] attacks from military type

country have taken possession of $4 billion worth of surplus arms and materiel, according to an Aug. 14 Bloomberg Businessweek story.

So how come Maui taxpayers had to shell out nearly three hundred grand for the Bearcat when they might have gotten it free? “The department looked into the DOD program, however, it was not offered to Hawaii at the time,” Lt. Juan, the Maui PD spokesman, told me. “The ‘Bearcat’ was purchased because we wanted a vehicle specified for our police needs.”

As for what those specific “needs” are, Juan wouldn’t say. In fact, he refused to provide MauiTime with a copy of a written policy that governs the use of the Bearcat–a very large, unwieldy vehicle that can cause great damage to people and property.

“The department does not release tactical orders for officers safety reasons,” Juan emailed me on Aug. 21. “The ‘Bearcat’ is a tactical tool which enhances the safety of

largely on the subjective beliefs of the officers involved. This lack of clear and legitimate standards for deploying SWAT may result in the excessive and unnecessary use of SWAT deployments in drug cases.”

Like the Avatar, Maui PD officials were loathe to discuss its use and capabilities in public. “We’re asking for a tactical vehicle at 280,000 and again on this particular matter, I’d like to go into closed sessions if there’s questions about this vehicle,” thenChief Yabuta told the Maui County Budget and Finance Committee on April 11, 2012.

As for why the Maui PD needed an armored truck that he would only discussed in closed session, away from public scrutiny? “[It’s] gonna be lifesaving not only for our officers, but for the public that they have to protect,” Yabuta told the committee, which never objected to his request to keep details of the Bearcat–or the Avatar, for that matter–out of the public record.

“Our analysis shows that the militarization of American policing is evident in the training that police officers receive, which encourages them to adopt a ‘warrior’ mentality and think of the people they are supposed to serve as enemies, as well as in the equipment they use, such as battering rams, flashbang grenades, and APCs.” hand grenades as well as improvised explosive devices producing blast fragmentation.”

The county shelled out $280,000 in tax dollars for this beast, but the City of Ferguson got theirs free of charge from the federal government. That’s because they took advantage of the U.S. Government’s 1033 Program, which transfers surplus weapons, vehicles and equipment from the military to law enforcement agencies. Since the program started in 1997– the same year as the North Hollywood Shootout–hundreds of police agencies around the

our officer in tactical situations.”

This lack of transparency is a common attitude among law enforcement concerning their SRT and SWAT teams, says the ACLU. It makes public scrutiny of the department’s militarized units all but impossible.

“Most police departments have in place standards that allow for SWAT deployment in cases involving hostage, barricade, active shooter, or other emergency scenarios, or in ‘high-risk’ warrant scenarios,” states the ACLU’s War Comes Home report. “But what constitutes a ‘high-risk’ scenario depends

Unlike the Avatar–which the Maui PD and county have kept strangely quiet–the Bearcat has enjoyed tons of publicity.

County officials circulated colorful photos of the behemoth truck. The Maui News and Maui Now wrote glowing stories about it. But beyond showing it off for the kiddies at a D.A.R.E. rally back in May, the PD doesn’t appear to have deployed the Bearcat in any sort of operation.

As must be painfully obvious by this point, the Maui PD has all this equipment

because the Maui County Council keeps giving it to them. In fact, I even found a time when a councilmember wanted to give the department more military firepower than they actually wanted.

It was at the April 16, 2013 Budget and Finance hearing, not long after Hokama asked what an M-7 rifle was. After Tom explained it to him, Hokama said it didn’t sound like enough. “Why wouldn’t you ask me for one 50 caliber rifle?” he asked Tom, according to the meeting minutes.

Tom said no thanks, adding that a .50 caliber rifle–a huge weapon capable of destroying a vehicle at a range of more than 2,000 yards–“would be overpenetration.” “[W]hy wouldn’t we consider a penetration power?” the minutes show Hokama asked Tom, not dropping the matter. “You just told us about the robot because of the penetration power of the opposition so why wouldn’t we consider a penetration power? You already made us buy one armored vehicle” (emphasis added).

Still, Tom insisted that a .50 caliber rifle “would be impractical.”

“I’m not talking… I’m think about taking the thing out,” Hokama said, according to the minutes. “I’m not talking about…

I’m talking about taking out the problem.”

Then Yabuta jumped in. “Sir, we don’t need a 50 caliber at this time,” he told Hokama. “If there’s a point in our budget where we do we’ll come before the Council. At this time we have sniper rifles that can go equal or even a longer distance than a 50 cal and it’s maneuverable and can be carried from point to point a lot easier than a 50 cal, so at this point in time it’s not advisable for us to have a 50 caliber…”

Which would be reassuring, had Yabuta not added in those little “at this point” and “at this time” caveats. Of course, Yabuta is no longer Maui PD’s chief. His successor may have different ideas about the department’s weapons and tactics.

If people here are serious about making sure what happened–and may yet happen–in Ferguson doesn’t go down here, then the Maui PD needs to start releasing written policies governing the use of military weapons and equipment to the public. It means the federal government needs to stop giving municipal police departments gear meant for battlefields. And, most importantly, it means the Maui County Council needs to ask stronger questions of the department–and not just at budget time–about the MPD’s use of military weapons and tactics. Because as the ACLU noted in its report, militarization of the police is a dangerous trend that will only get worse unless serious changes are made.

“The use of paramilitary weapons and tactics to conduct ordinary law enforcement– especially to wage the failed War on Drugs and most aggressively in communities of color–has no place in contemporary society,” the ACLU concluded in its recent War Comes Home report. “It is not too late to change course–through greater transparency, more oversight, policies that encourage restraint, and limitations on federal incentives, we can foster a policing culture that honors its mission to protect and serve, not to wage war.”

PHOTO COURTESY MAUI JAZZ & BLUES FESTIVAL

he island was abuzz with Jazz last month thanks to the fourth annual Maui Jazz and Blues Festival, orchestrated by founder Kenneth K. Martinez Burgmaier, a Maui Filmmaker & CEO of Jazz Alley TV & HawaiiONTV.com Networks.

With more than two dozen different free Jazz performances from Hawaiian Moons to the BMW dealership in August, Burgmaier got a lot of Jazz blood flowing in anticipation of the upcoming festival.

“I just thought it would be a nice way to give back to our very supportive Maui community,” says Martinez-Burgmaier. “Following the success of producing over 50 music festivals in Hawaii, I’m honored to produce another music festival with such revered artists performing for Maui and resort guests.”

The upcoming festival has several headlining performances scheduled from both Mainland artists and local musicians. From Kentucky, world-renowned pianist Les McCann will visit Hawaii once again and play with Grammy-nominated saxophonist Javon

James DeBose and Lydia Panzik

Jackson. The two have teamed up in many Jazz festivals around the world.

New Orleans master Zydeco musician Corey Ledet is also returning to Maui. Ledet has a strong cultural link to Zydeco–the music of the Creoles–and remains dedicated to keeping this musical tradition strong. The HBO series Treme shed some dramatic light onto New Orleans culture and music, but Ledet says he’s alarmed at how Zydeco has changed with recent times–more about flash today and less about tradition. Ledet started playing with the Zydoco Rascals at 12 and never looked back.

Saturday Night LIVE band trombonist and seashell virtuoso Steve Turre will also play on the Maui Jazz and Blues Festival stage, as well as saxophone master Donald Harrison. Local Maui musicians will also get into the act.

“I love to ask our fellow Maui artists and friends to step outside the box and explore some of their other styles in music that are rarely heard.” says Martinez-Burgmaier.

Local musicians at the festival include Paula Fuga, Benny Uyetake, John Kolivas of the

Honolulu Jazz Quartet, Brian Cuomo, Paul Smith, John Zangrando, Fulton Tashombe, Paul Marchetti, James DeBose, Lydia Panzik, the Zenshin Daiko Drummers and 100 Kalama School ‘ukulele Jazz students.

This is also the first year the festival will take place at the Royal Lahaina Resort. The resort will prepare dishes by Chef Bernardo Salazar including sushi, chicken curry, poke, salad and malasadas. The event will also have drinks available for purchase. The resort is offering special Jazz and Blues Festival overnight rates as well– call 808-661-3611 for more information.

“We have had an open arm reception of aloha from the Westside of Maui,” says Martinez-Burgmaier. “So many businesses wanted to be part of it and have been asking for the last three years if we would consider bringing it to the Lahaina and Ka’anapali area.

We had tremendous success with the last three Jazz & Blues Festivals being sold out and the resort selling over 300 room nights each year.

One of the festivals biggest goals is to expose Maui’s youth to Jazz and blues music.

The Rise Of Female Empowerment Here’s our annual summer movie wrap-up

B

ack in May, who would’ve thought the top grossing movie of the summer would be Guardians of the Galaxy? In fact, who knew it would be any good? Audiences turned out in droves for the latest Transformers, despite having never met anyone actually say they enjoyed it. Sex Tape flopped but The Purge: Anarchy was a real hit. The teaming of Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton in And So It Goes lured very few, but Chef played at the Maui Mall theater for nearly two months. You never know what’s going to be a hit, what stalls out of the gate and, most importantly, which of these Event Movies will be good.

It wound up being the Summer of Female Empowerment, as proven by Angelina Jolie in Maleficent, Shailene Woodley in the surprise hit The Fault in Our Stars, Emily Blunt in Edge of Tomorrow and Scarlett Johansson in Lucy. Girl power was alive and well (even the much-hated Tammy made some coin, despite audiences finally tiring of Melissa McCarthy). As for the rest: THE BEST Maleficent opened in May and played on Maui screens through August. It quietly made over $230 million and is the biggest success of Angelina Jolie’s career. Why? It’s a terrific movie, with more depth, darkness and guts than any live action Disney movie in years.

Another big surprise was Luc Besson’s unapologetically crazy and wildly entertaining Lucy, the kind of wacko pulp masterpiece only a French madman like Besson could have made. Indeed, female empowerment was the biggest theme of the summer’s two best, most uncompromised visions.

SEQUELS AND COMIC BOOK FLICKS THAT WORKED Guardians of the Galaxy was a lot of fun and the summer’s biggest top gun but it lacked the style, class and excitement of the summer’s best comic book adaptation, X-Men: Days of Future Past.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 and 22 Jump Street were rare sequels that improved upon their predecessors (something that can’t be said of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For).

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was a bleak prequel and a stunner of a CGI showcase. Its downbeat themes only gave it more credibility with longtime fans, now salivating over Caesar’s ongoing monkey business with humankind.

UNDER THE RADAR In a movie that already boasted Sofia Vergara and Scarlett Johansson in the cast, Chef made a grill cheese sandwich look sexy.

Foodies beware: if any movie will make you laugh AND crave a hearty meal afterwards, it’s this one. Snowpiercer briefly played at the Queen Ka’ahumanu Center but will likely accumulate cult status in the months to come.

The little seen but stunning Chris Evans/Ed Harris sci-fi thriller was better than most of the bigger, louder offerings of the season.

GUILTY PLEASURES The Expendables 3 provided the delightful sight of Harrison Ford flying a helicopter with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jet Li on board and firing machine guns. The Step Up All In 3D effects made me flinch and the dancing sequences were wonderful. These aren’t great movies but their best moments, isolated from the “plot,” were great fun.

We need more movies involving talking raccoons

DISAPPOINTMENTS The years worth of trailers for Godzilla made it look like it couldn’t miss. Gareth Edwards’ less-is-more approach admirably aimed for Jaws-like suspense but wound up giving us too many one-note humans, and not enough of The King of Monsters.

For all of its admirable qualities, no wouldbe blockbuster was more disappointing.

Every one of Marvel’s rival studios is trying very hard to make The Avengers and suffering. Take The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which boasted too many villains and a story more busy than interesting. Attempts to set up future installments and build a franchise nearly buried the sweet love story at the film’s center.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was only more tolerable because expectations were so low. Then again, how good can a movie be when audiences whined that it needed Vanilla Ice? Jon Hamm’s first starring role in a Disney, real-life sports drama sounded like a no-brainer for one of the most charismatic actors on television. Unfortunately, his Million Dollar Arm wasn’t even on par with The Mighty Ducks.

Memo to Warner Brothers: if you’re going to ever attempt musical bios on either Franki Valli or James Brown, don’t release

them in the summer, against a handful of blockbusters audiences would rather watch instead or ever have your characters break the fourth wall and speak to us again. We didn’t like it. If Jersey Boys, Get On Up and the trailers for the Christmas releases of Into the Woods and Annie are any indication, then 2014 is a rotten year for musicals.

YIKES, THAT WAS BAD...

A Million Ways to Die in the West was so bad that it might develop a cult following from the kind of inebriated offenders who still insist Freddy Got Fingered was misunderstood.

Earth to Echo tried to be a found footage E.T. but wound up this year’s MAC and Me. Finally, there’s Michael Bay’s Transformers: Age of Extinction, proving once again that a lavish marketing campaign can buy success. Perhaps, one day, audiences will avoid a movie they know in advance is going to be terrible.

This was reportedly one of the worst movie summers on record, monetarily speaking. In terms of quality, the great films were few. Summer of 2015 is looking better, with Jurassic World, Terminator: Genisys, Mad Max: Fury Road and Fast and Furious 7 (yes, all are sequels or remakes) scheduled to open. Fingers crossed. ■

Horoscope

Sign Language VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

No one realizes, least of all you, that you’re the most popular sign in the zodiac. Along with everyone else, you probably haven’t noticed just how many people you’re important to. Showy Leos may get more attention; Libras have bigger networks. You, however, have the highest-quality relationships—connections that actually mean something to both parties.

Despite that, you may feel quite isolated at times this week. Please take off emotional filters that require you view yourself as a lonely victim, and notice how things (events, relationships, families, etc.) would fall apart in your absence. You matter. (‘Nuff said.)

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Your problems, lately, are fractal in nature. You can delve into them, but you’ll just see more of the same—ultimately arriving at the same solution you thought of originally, only immensely more complicated by all the folds and convolutions you uncovered in the process. Sometimes it’s good to pry, and pick things apart, and arrive, eventually, at the root causes of your troubles. However, that’s simply not the case at the moment; tracing your problems back will just return you to the starting point—only much more exhausted and freaked than when you began.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Change is the key to our perception of time, especially in retrospect. Months practicing a quiet routine can seem like mere weeks when you look back at them, while a crazed fortnight can take up much more space in your memory, simply because you did so much. Keep this curious dichotomy in mind as you consider the upcoming fork in the road: the quiet, rhythmic path will help you notice and cherish every moment, but may seem like a mere blip when you look back on it years from now, while the more adventurous road will leave you gasping for breath, but have you digesting memories for the rest of your life.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Could your week be any more simple? Trust things to be about as uncomplicated and straightforward as they get. Your problems will respond to the simplest solutions, and any minor obstacles will be so small you can just step over them, rather than alter your course.

Resist the temptation to add layers of complexity out of habit; that’s pointless and, in some ways, utterly ridiculous. Enjoy the chance to avoid overthinking things, and just play, work, eat, sleep, screw and more or less take joyful advantage of a universe in balance.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

You’re not boring, but just like every Capricorn I’ve ever met, you occasionally consider yourself the most lackluster, tedious, and square person you know. This idea wasn’t born out of nothing; you do have a facet that reflects that self-perception perfectly. But it’s only a small part of you. The danger is that you spend too much time manifesting and working with that one tiny, tiresome part of yourself; consequently, you may start believing it is you, not just a slice of the whole.

Avoid this lame conclusion by remembering to do lots of different things that will test your versatility and flexibility, not your efficiency and responsibility.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Don’t assume that your opinion matters. Given who you are and what you do, it does often carry some weight—just not universally. Sometimes, you’re simply not qualified to give notes on a situation that doesn’t concern you. Just because it usually works out okay anyway doesn’t make this a good idea. Please don’t let your established expertise as a moderator delude you into getting involved when you shouldn’t. If you stick your nose where it probably doesn’t belong this week, it just might get bitten clean off.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

You may not have much actual money, but emotionally you’re filthy rich. Compared to most other peo-

ple’s inner lives, you bathe in champagne and travel in a solid gold litter carried by adoring servants. So what, you say? Sadly, wealth often inspires thieves, insincere hangers-on, and pathetic emulations. This week, you’re likely to have run-ins with examples of at least two of these; try not to get pissed. It’s human nature to want the unattainable. At the very least, ignore them while you walk away; if you can see your way clear to giving them a taste of your vast internal treasure, that’d be cool, too.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Don’t start sleeping under your bed. Even though someone is doing their best to make you feel like a monster, there’s no need to move in with the ones already living there, nor join company with any skeletons inhabiting your closet. I’ve never met an evil Aries—nor has the person who’s pissed off with you; they’re just angry as hell, not actually convinced of your hellish intentions. You goofy Rams can screw up, certainly and royally; you can also sometimes be insensitive, rude, and even accidentally mean. But, evil—nope. When this label is chucked in your direction this week, duck; it doesn’t belong to you.

SEPTEMBER 3RD - 24TH WEDNESDAYS • 7:30AM

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Absolute neutrality is nigh unto impossible for you, yet you must persist in it. You’ve been surprisingly good, so far, about adamantly refusing to get involved in a conflict whose opposing sides are both close to you.

Each adversary desperately wants your validation, support, or alliance. Resist any attempt to draw you in this week, because even a slightly biased comment could lead to absolute disaster, for you and them. If you find you’ve been tricked into lending your support to either party, quickly laugh and declare you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. If you do it convincingly enough you should be able to avoid total catastrophe.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Grudges are never worth it. No matter how you manage them, no matter your proficiencies at vengeance or punishment; they always hurt you more than they hurt the other person. Of course, it seems different, since ostensibly you’re the one dishing out the damage, but does it really matter how you got hurt? In the end, you’ve got wounds to contend with, heal, and work around—wounds that simply wouldn’t be there if you’d just let the matter drop. You’re burdened enough; brush any chips off your shoulder this week, and get on with your life.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Things feel more nailed down than they have in a year, don’t they? That’s because they are, for the moment.

The important thing to remember is how quickly shit changes. Just last week you were feeling like the world was your oyster, or at least rife with potential.

This week, sadly, that potential is eroded and pinned under heavy weights of responsibility and fear. But those burdens can dissolve nearly as swiftly as they manifested. So just sit tight. Your view to the horizon is momentarily obstructed by looming obstacles. Trust that it’s still there, and so is the path to it. You just have to wait until you’ve rounded the next bend in the road.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Your dirty secret’s out, probably to the person you’re least comfortable with knowing it: It’s embarrassing how subject you are, still, to the opinions of others. What they think shouldn’t matter, you know, yet somehow it just does. Don’t be too hard on yourself; to some extent, it’s how you’re wired. Because you’re partially fueled by the faith of others, you can shine in ways that aren’t available to other signs, but you’re also subject to bouts with inner darkness when that belieffuel runs out. Sadly, as you’ve probably already discovered, this week is one of those times. Luckily, though, you’re quite likely (with the help of whomever outed you) to discover a new source of inner self-confidence that’s totally independent of outside influence.
