Rep. Carroll

MELE CARROLL RELINQUISHES COMMITTEE CHAIRMANSHIP Maui Representative Mele Carroll, D–13th District, is stepping down as chairwoman of the House Human Services Committee, according to a news release just sent out from the state House of Representatives communications office. Her reason: undefined “health issues.” “I recently asked Speaker [Joe] Souki to re-assign the chairmanship this session due to some health issues I have been experiencing,” Carroll says in the statement. “I am more than pleased that Representative Dee Morikawa will now take the lead for the upcoming 2015 Legislative session. Although I really enjoy my chairmanship, I strongly feel that it is best to step down as chair so that the people of Hawaii will continue to receive the best service from the House of Representatives Committee on Human Services. This change will let me focus on my District, my family and my health.” The statement says nothing specific about Carroll’s health issues,. While very sad, the news is not surprising. I saw Carroll in person at a candidate forum in Haiku during the summer of 2014, and it seemed to me that she wasn’t well. Soon after, I began hearing rumors that her health wasn’t good. On July 22, I called Carroll and left a voicemail message asking about her health and if it was, in fact, affecting her campaign. Since she didn’t return the call, I chose not to pursue the issue. Carroll eventually won the 2014 Primary Election (she had no General Election challenger) against Barbara Haliniak, 60.7 percent to 28.3 percent. It was her fifth electoral victory. “It has been a truly humbling experience to serve as the Chair of the Human Services Committee for the past two years,” Carroll adds in the Jan. 7 news release. “At the helm of this committee I was able to work to ad-

dress the needs of the most vulnerable in our communities from the keiki to the kupuna on topics such as, Medicaid to foster care, and child protective services to name a few.” We at MauiTime wish Carroll a speedy and complete recovery.

NENE FAMILIES TAKE OUT RIFLE RANGE, CAMPGROUND On Jan. 4, an instructor at the Ukumehame Riﬂe Range spotted a nene goose in the area, according to a County of Maui press release sent out today. I think you can guess what happened next. “The Department of Parks and Recreation has closed down its Ukumehame rifle range because of a Nene goose nest in the area,” states the Jan. 7 news release. “On Monday a DLNR wildlife biologist confirmed that not only was there a Nene on property, but that there was also a nest located on the right hand side of the rifle range, up against the berm. Upon DLNR’s recommendation the county has closed the rifle range while the Nene continues to lay eggs.” Both the state and federal governments

consider the nene to be endangered. According to the county news release, a rifle range instructor spotted the bird on Sunday, Jan. 4. The instructor then called the state Department of Land and Natural Resources. The county statement adds that the Ukumehame pistol range, clay target range and classrooms are still open. As for how long the rifle range will be shut down, DLNR officials say in the news release that “it will be about a month and a half before the eggs hatch and the Nene family mobile enough to be relocated (or leave on their own.)” The range will reopen after that. Then two days later, on Jan. 9, Haleakala National Park officials closed the Hosmer Grove campground because a nene family moved into the area. “We apologize for any inconvenience to campers but we have to protect the nene,” said Superintendent Natalie Gates in a park news release sent out that day. “Haleakala National Park is about to celebrate its 100th birthday and we need to remain committed to protecting our natural resources for future generations.” The campground reopened the next day when park officials found the family's gosling had died. They later moved the other geese to a better location.

BAD NEWS/GOOD NEWS IN NEW U.S. SENATE APPOINTMENTS And so now the Republicans are in change of the entire U.S. Congress. Good! Let the paralyzing gridlock commence! Oh wait, that’s already been going on for years. Well then, at least we’ll be treated a lot more hilarious headlines.

Many of those are sure to originate from the office of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, R–Texas. Yes, an outspoken climate change denier is now the chairman of the Subcommittee on Space, Science and Competitiveness. This committee oversees NASA, one of the nation’s most important gatherers of climate change data. What could go wrong? Then again, the U.S. is already trailing pretty much the rest of the developed world when it comes to cutting carbon emissions, so it’s

not like the planet’s environmental news can get any more apocalyptic. I mean, it can’t, right? Right?! In other news, Senator Mazie Hirono, D–Hawaii, will now be the top Democrat on the Senate’s Seapower subcommittee. “I am proud to serve as the ranking Democrat on the Subcommittee on Seapower,” she said in a Jan. 8 press release sent out by her office. “There exists a strong relationship between Hawaii and the Navy and Marine Corps. Hawaii’s role is further enhanced as we continue our nation’s rebalance to the Asia-Pacific. Headquartered in Hawaii, the U.S. Pacific Fleet and U.S. Marine Forces Pacific’s area of responsibility covers more than half of the earth’s surface. I look forward to working with Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS), the subcommittee’s new Chairman, to ensure that the Navy and Marine Corps are capable of keeping America and its interests secure.” Given the weight the U.S. military holds in Hawaii, it’s best to have a local voice who can at least speak reasonably and rationally from some position of authority, even if it is the minority party in the U.S. Senate. ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro

Duke’s Beach House has launched its second annual whale photo contest. The beach-front Ka’anapali restaurant is encouraging visitors and residents to submit their best whale photos in an effort to win a $250 gift certificate. Duke’s will also name five finalists; each finalist will receive a $25 Duke’s Beach House gift certificate. “We are so lucky to be able to offer a perfect location for whale watching and to be able to share these daily sightings with our guests,” said KC Hendrickson, Duke’s Marketing Manager. “After seeing all of the whale photo entries last year, we knew we had to host a contest again this year to showcase more photos of these amazing animals.” Photos can be submitted via Duke’s Facebook page or on Instagram through March 31. To submit on Facebook, upload photos through the Duke’s Whale Shot app at Facebook.com/DukesBeachHouse. To submit photos via Instagram, upload photos with the hashtag #dukeswhaleshot15. Participants’ Instagram profiles must be public to submit entry. The finalists’ images will be posted on April 6 at Duke’s Facebook page. Facebook fans of Duke’s Beach House Maui will be able to vote for their favorite pictures until April 10. The winner will be announced on April 13 at Dukesmaui.com and on the restaurant’s Facebook page. For more information and contest rules, visit Dukesmaui.com/dukes-whale-shot.

35 years of business in the tourism and boating industry, HOP Captain David H. Jung decided to form this communitybased research division of the company. Funds raised through the project’s 100 percent Research Direct Program support sciencebased marine research. The organization says each and every dollar donated to the program supports the work of Mark and Debbie Ferrari of The Center for Whale Studies; Dr. Joseph Mobley of Marine Mammal Research Consultants, Ltd. and the University of Hawaii; Dr. Meagan Jones of Whale Trust; Dr. Robin Baird of Cascadia Research Collective; and Jill Mickelsen of Hawaii Whale Research Foundation. “We have an immediate need for our community to support legitimate and peerreviewed research on Hawaii’s whales, dolphins, and marine ecosystem,” said Jung. “Our recipients are not subject to pressure in any form to slant their findings. We aim at keeping the program simple and honest; therefore, 100 percent of all Research Direct donations collected will support genuine research.” Members of Hawaii Ocean Project will receive 25 percent off all excursions for one year, including whale watches, dinner cruises, snorkel trips, cocktail cruises, and tours of Molokai; Hawaii Ocean Project membership is open to both residents and visitors. One of HOP’s additional goals is to gather a coalition of businesses island-wide to spur contributions to the researchers. In return, Hawaii Ocean Project will promote participating businesses to their on-board guests. Additional information about the program, cruises, research and membership can be found at Hawaiioceanproject.com.

News Of The Weird MAN’S OTHER BEST FRIEND

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

People’s love for their pets reached a new high in December when a British man paid a veterinarian the equivalent of $500 to perform delicate surgery on a sick office goldfish (typical pet store “replacement” price: $1 to $5). Vet Faye Bethell of North Walsham, England, told the Eastern Daily Press in December that there was “nothing special” about the fish, but that the customer “just liked it a lot.” In fact, the goldfish likely did not even have a pet name–as Bethell in an interview spoke intimately of another patient by name (Cadbury, the skunk). Bethell’s procedure involved removing the patient from the bowl, flooding its gills with anesthetic-fortified water, and using a tiny scalpel to remove lumps that were causing it constipation, with the surgery guided by a miniature heart-rate monitor.

Undersheriff Noel Stephen of Okeechobee County, Florida, acknowledged to WPBF-TV in December that among the public services his office performs is supervising parents’ spanking of children. After two sisters argued on Dec. 29, their father decided to administer a whipping to one and asked Deputy Stephen to drop by and make sure he stayed within the law. That’s “not something we advertise to do,” said the deputy, but he estimates he has monitored about a dozen spankings.

IRAQI TV GOES ‘JERRY SPRINGER’ Iraq’s government-run channel, Iraqiyya TV, has a reality show reminiscent of American confrontational programs, but is designed to force captured ISIS fighters to acknowledge the pain they have created. One episode of In the Grip of the Law (described in a December Associated Press dispatch) showed family members of car-bombing victims on a street corner in Baghdad haranguing one of the men convicted of the crime. A young man in a wheelchair, having lost his father in the attack, faced off against the convict, screaming until the jihadist “began weeping, as the cameras rolled.”

WAIT, WHAT? On Nov. 6, a couple (aged 68 and 65) were hospitalized after spending almost 13 hours locked in their car inside their own garage in Alexandra, New Zealand. The night before, they had been unable to remember a salesman’s tutorial on how to unlock their new Mazda 3 from the inside and had spent the night assuming they were trapped because they had forgotten to bring along the battery-operated key. The wife was unconscious when neighbors finally noticed them, and her husband was struggling to breathe. The door unlocks manually, of course.

AMERICAN JUSTICE At first, it seemed another textbook case of a wrongly convicted murderer being released after a long prison stint (15 years), based on a re-examination of evidence. Illinois officials freed Alstory Simon, who had “confessed” in 1999 to killing two teenagers (before a defendants’ advocacy organization convinced a judge that the confession had been coerced). That 1999 confession had allowed the man previously convicted, Anthony Porter, to go free, but prosecutors in October 2014 had second–or third–thoughts. They once again believe that Porter was the killer–even though a different defendants’ advocacy organization had originally worked to free him. (In any event, “double jeopardy” prevents Porter’s retrial.)

GOVERNMENT IN ACTION The Government Accountability Office was on the job in December, issuing an emphatic ruling that the National Weather Service could not legally issue its workers disposable cups, plates and utensils on the job. Such items are “personal,” GAO declared, even though most NWS facilities are in remote locations, staffed by two-person shifts that almost force employees to eat on the premises. “You can’t run out” and “grab a burger,” one employee said. Nonetheless, after a lengthy deliberative process, GAO said its decision is final.

IT’S ABOUT TIME! In a November ruling, France’s minister of housing and minister of ecology jointly announced further streamlining of law books, removing bulky, out-of-date regulations. Among the rescissions, beginning Dec. 1, is the ban on installing toilets in kitchens.

WORLD CLASS THEFT In December, China’s Gxnews.com.cn reported the arrest of a man in Yulin City, accused of stealing more than 2,000 items of underwear from women in his neighborhood, taken within the last year. He hid his stash above ceiling tiles in stairwells in his apartment building, but he drew attention when one of the ceiling spaces caved in from the weight of the garments, showering the stairs in an array of colorful lingerie. Just within the last month, according to Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post, two other men, in Zhejiang and Hubei provinces, have been detained for similar crimes. In the latter case, the alleged thief was also wearing lingerie.

In her December arrest, according to a BBC News dispatch, she had complained of the contradictions in Japanese culture (also cited in previous News of the Weird stories) that allow glorified public displays of the penis as a symbol of fertility, but banish the vulva from public sight. ■

TRASH TALK

Recycling has really taken a beating lately, but will the County of Maui's proposed Waste Conversion Facility really keep waste garbage out of the landﬁll?

hen you live on a small island located more than 2,500 miles from a major land mass, trash is everything. That’s why it’s not surprising that the word “recycling” appears repeatedly in the County of Maui’s General Plan–the 100 or so page document that will supposedly guide the county through the year 2030.

Under “Key Strategies,” the document calls on the county to “Improve Physical Infrastructure” with “New and old sustainable approaches for the delivery, use, and conservation of water and energy resources, along with new ways of thinking about the recycling and disposal of waste, are among the opportunities upon which Maui County can capitalize.” It asks county officials to “Provide sustainable waste-disposal systems and comprehensive, convenient recycling programs to reduce the flow of waste into landfills.” It proposes that the county “Establish recycling, trash-separation, and materials recovery programs and facilities to reduce the flow of waste into land-

10 JANUARY 15, 2015

fills” as well as “Utilize taxes and fees as means to encourage conservation and recycling.” The implication is simple: the county of Maui needs to do more, not less, in the world of recycling. It needs to make it easier, not more difficult, for residents to get their waste separated. It should encourage, not discourage, people to keep materials that can be recycled from getting buried in our ever-shrinking landfills. The Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan (ISWMP), which was completed in 2009 during Mayor Charmaine Tavares’ administration, is more specific. When published, the county diverted about 30 percent of its waste to recycling, composting, etc., with the rest going to landfills. Today, that figure hovers between 30 and 40 percent (depending on how you measure it), according to Department of Environmental Management Deputy Director Mike Miyamoto. Of course, the State of Hawaii had called on counties to be diverting 50 percent of their waste away from landfills by year 2000. So, yeah.

While county officials says they’re taking steps to ensure that the county will soon divert 80 percent of its waste away from landfills, it’s not exactly doing so by increasing recycling efforts. Instead, it’s working towards constructing a large “Waste Conversion Facility” (more on this later). In fact, in the last few years, the administration has generally tried to steer away from recycling. In March 2013, Mayor Alan Arakawa announced that the county would close its many recycling drop boxes, insisting that the private sector could now handle all the county’s recycling needs. He backed off a few weeks later, after residents howled in protest. But on Feb. 1, the county will officially end a pilot curbside recycling program that began two years ago for 1,750 South Maui residents (many in Maui Meadows), citing the effort’s costs, which county officials say are prohibitively high. “We take the use of your tax dollars very seriously and we did not want to continue or expand this service which would cost the County between $1.3-1.8 million annually for a 3.3 percent landfill diversion,” states a County of

By Anthony Pignataro Maui notice given to people participating in the curbside recycling project. “We are committed to continuing to explore economically feasible and sustainable means to increase landfill diversion, and we again thank you for your participation in this important pilot project.” Curbside recycling is simple: residents place recyclable materials into three countyprovided 96-gallon bins (one each for garbage, mixed recyclables and greenwaste), which a county truck then picks up and takes to a materials processing center. Maui Recycling Service already offers the program to residents, but the 2009 ISWMP recommended that the county institute the service for residents (thousands of Mainland cities have been doing curbside recycling for decades). Two years ago, on Feb. 11, 2013, Environmental Management Director Kyle Ginoza testified about the project before the County Council’s Infrastructure and Environmental Management Committee. He noted that the 2009 ISWMP recommended that the county begin a curbside recycling program for resi-

which we also obtained. “There must be a way to be Pro-Active on this issue as we can become a model for the rest of the world on how we respect and care for our environment.” Reached by phone, Sherrow said Ginoza never responded to her email. During a Jan. 12 County Council Infrastructure and Environmental Management Committee meeting, a number of Maui Meadows residents testified that the threecan program was incredibly popular in their neighborhood and called for its reinstatement. They also asked that the county at least continue to pick up the greenwaste bins–an idea Ginoza said was “interesting,” though admitted he hadn’t thought of it before, The Maui News reported on Jan. 13. In his phone interview with me, Miyamoto disputed the notion that the program was popular. In fact, he said the initial setout rate for the bins was “high,” meaning a lot of residents were putting all three bins on the curb–at first. But then, he said, the rate fell to about 57 percent.

more waste away from the county’s landfills while also making money–something they say curbside recycling couldn’t do. On its website, Anaergia bills itself as a “global leader in the production of clean energy, fertilizer and recycled water from organic waste streams, and offers the widest range of anaerobic digestion technologies for municipal, industrial, commercial and agricultural markets.” According to a Solid Waste Update sheet the county produced for residents, the IWCEP (also referred to as the Maui Resource Recovery Facility) takes trash, sewage sludge and green waste and converts it all into recyclables that can be sold, fuels that can be used on or offsite and fertilizer. The sheet states that the fuel produced would be “enough to power 3,000 homes each year” and would reduce air pollution “equal to taking 25,000 cars off the road.” The county’s Request for Proposals for the facility came out in 2012. That document states that the IWCEP will tap into residential and commercial waste streams; “materials that

dents, and said the project was part of the county’s effort to “work toward 60 percent landfill diversion.” But Ginoza also told the committee that Maui would have to ship the recyclables (save the green waste, of course) off-island to “markets paying the most.” When amortized over 10 years, Ginoza told the committee that the program would cost residents “approximately $80” per year per account. “Recycling for Hawaii is really expensive,” Miyamoto, Ginoza’s deputy, told me in a Jan. 9 phone interview. “We don’t have a processor locally. Here on Maui, you have to band the material together, ship it to Oahu and then either to the Mainland or Asia. Glass costs us $303 per ton to get it to a processor, though that’s an extreme example.” But MauiTime obtained a spreadsheet, produced on Aug. 16, 2013 by County Recycling Coordinator Hana Steel, that suggests the curbside recycling program’s costs were actually much lower. In fact, the sheet states that the total average program cost per account per year was just $43.91. Miyamoto disputes that figure, saying the spreadsheet “wasn’t complete” and didn’t include various factors. He also said supervisors never reviewed it. MauiTime obtained the spreadsheet from a source familiar with the recycling program. We originally requested the document from the county under the state’s public records laws, but the county Corporation Counsel’s office refused, saying the spreadsheet was a “draft” document and thus exempt from release. Efforts to contact Hana Steel were also unsuccessful. The county placed her on paid “administrative leave” in July. Miyamoto declined to say why this happened, saying it was a “personnel issue” (he also said he didn’t know how long Steel has been on leave). Steel also declined to comment for this story. “I am so sorry, but I am not at liberty to comment on this issue or any recycling issues,” Steel emailed me on Jan. 7. Steel also isn’t the first Environmental Management official placed on administrative leave in the last few years. In February 2013, according to court records, then-Solid Waste Division Director Tracy Takamine (Steel’s boss) was placed on paid leave for allegedly threatening an employee (who was apparently later fired) he was trying to discipline. A few months later, court records show, the county fired Takamine. He’s currently suing the county, alleging wrongful termination. What’s more, in September 2014 the Maui County Council authorized a performance audit of the entire Department of Environmental Management. “It has been difficult working with the department,” Maui County Councilmember Elle Cochran said in a Sept. 5, 2014 Office of Council Services blog post on the audit. In any case, Miyamoto said a few residents (mostly from Maui Meadows) have contacted the county, saying that they’d like the curbside program to continue. He said he tells them to contact Maui Recycling Service, which offers curbside recycling. “Is it possible to revisit the decision to stop the recycling program in Maui Meadows?” resident Francesca Carey asked Ginoza in a Jan. 4 email we obtained. Another resident, Teri Sherrow, was even more critical in her email to the county. “Why is it that most municipalities have been able to carry on a successful recycling program since the 1980s and we are asked to go backward?” Sherrow asked in an email,

No bins for you!

“Recycling for Hawaii is really expensive,we don’t have a processor locally. Here on Maui, you have to band the material together, ship it to Oahu and then either to the Mainland or Asia. Glass costs us $303 per ton to get it to a processor, though that’s an extreme example.” Never mind that it could take a family more than a week to fill a 96-gallon bin full of paper, cardboard, plastics and glass. Or that officials told the County Council on Jan. 12 that they’ll just the store all those curbside recycling bins–which apparently cost the county $280,000–at the Waikapu Landfill. Regardless, county officials are done with curbside recycling. Besides, they insist they have a better idea. About a year ago, Arakawa invited a few county officials, including Ginoza, and representatives of the energy firm Anaergia Services to his Akaku television program Your County With Mayor Arakawa. They were there to sign a new contract to build what the county refers to as an Integrated Waste Conversion and Energy Project (IWCEP). According to county officials, the IWCEP promises to do divert even

are currently composted;” “other recyclable materials that are controlled by the County” (fats, oils, grease); and landfill gas that is currently flared at the Central Maui Landfill. “The overarching goal of the project is to increase diversion of economically recyclable materials from the waste streams, reducing the environmental impacts currently associated with landfilling and with importing fossil fuels for electricity generation and transportation on the island,” states the 2012 RFP. “The IWCEP should have a net environmental benefit as compared to disposal or other methods of waste handling.” On paper, this looks dynamite. Then again, it’s all just on paper at this point. Whereas the curbside recycling program was operational for two years before the county pulled the plug, the soonest the IWCEP could go online is 2017, Miyamoto said, though the contract

stipulates that it be up and running by 2019. What’s more, the 2009 Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan recommended that the county build a waste-to-energy facility in addition to having programs like curbside recycling–not instead of it. “We’re accelerating it because the waste facility will be able to divert 80 percent of waste that goes to the landfill,” Miyamoto said. What exactly the facility will look like–and what technologies it will feature–is also not really known. Remember–the proposed IWCEP will supposedly do a great deal. It will take in a huge percentage of the waste normally sent to the landfill; separate it all at a materials recovery facility; process recyclables like plastics, cardboard and glass; use an anaerobic digester that will produce biogas that can be burned as a fuel; and make compost materials. The facility will also produce these small pellets that Miyamoto said could be used as a coal substitute. The 2012 RFP was very specific that the facility only use proven processing technologies that are currently in use. “[A]s a minimum requirement, the County requires that the Developer be able to provide references of at least two (2) of its successfully operational commercial facilities utilizing the proposed unit process technologies,” states the RFP. “Each element of major technology components proposed should have at least three (3) years of operating history on a commercial scale. The two reference commercial facilities should have operated commercially at least 60% of their design capacity with at least 75% or higher uptime.” But when I asked Karl Bossert, an official with Anaergia who attended Arakawa’s contract signing last year, for operating examples of the kinds of technology the IWCEP would use, he couldn’t really name any. “All the technologies are demonstrated and operational,” he said. He added that one facility in Anaheim, California (which hasn’t yet been built) is similar, but will use a different waste stream than that proposed for Maui. When asked about the IWCEP’s current status, Miyamoto said Anaergia is currently negotiating “off-take agreements.” “You have to be able to sell what you’re processing,” Miyamoto said of the fuels and materials the facility is expected to produce. “They’re shopping these fuel supplements around. They have to secure those agreements early this year.” Miyamoto added that Anaergia said that if they can get the off-take agreements done soon, then they can open the facility sometime in 2017. In the mean time, those residents who still believe that recycling is the best way to keep our landfills from filling up too soon will either have to pay Maui Recycling Service to come to their door or just carry recyclables on their own to the county’s drop boxes. For some residents, like Susan Bradford of Kihei, this is just too much. “The demise of curbside recycling on Maui on Feb. 1 should be suspended until the audit by the County Council makes clear whether the waste conversion facility proposed by the mayor is even a viable option,” she wrote in a Jan. 11, 2015 Maui News letter to the editor. “What if the council decides that Anaergia Services’ waste conversion should not be built, that it’s not economically viable? Then our curbside program would be gone with nothing to replace it.” ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro For more news articles, visit our website at: mauitime.com/news

‘I Am Not Retiring’ But Bev Gannon’s new managing partners will bring innovation to her restaurants, starting with Joe’s Bar & Grill

years of food and beverage experience. Prior to Cow Pig Bun, he was the General Manager and Wine Director for Ka‘ana Kitchen at the Andaz Maui Resort in Wailea. Shepherd and Stettler have been working together on Cow Pig Bun since August 2014. Their fresh gastropub concept has already established a fan following, and the monthly “Knife Fights” event that challenge two local chefs against one another with a common ingredient has been another huge hit. “We are going to be partners in the restaurants,” said Shepherd. “She was looking for the right partners, and she didn’t want to lose her legacy. She didn’t want her reputation to change. She worked very hard for those. Roger and I put this together for about a year now and we have been working with her on this. The details have finally settled in right.” For Gannon, bringing on new managing partners is part of the natural evolution of her company. “We have been looking at both of the restaurants here in Wailea and up in Hali‘imaile,” Gannon said. “Over the years, Bev Gannon Restaurants has grown a lot. Basically I have been doing it all myself with the help of different people at each of the restaurants. Now I am looking for help to really take us into the the next generation of these restaurants and business. Raising some young ideas, some innovating ideas. Hopefully

in five years they will be calling me in France and telling me everything is going fine.” Gannon repeated that she will not be leaving her company. “This is going to be an evolution,” said Gannon. “I am not retiring. I am getting help. To bring in new young exciting people. New menu items. It's going to be a progression. The first place we are starting is at Joe’s. It has been a great restaurant for 19 years, but it is time for a change.” Joe’s will close for renovation at the end of February. “We will be renovating Joe’s,” said Gannon. “Then opening up as Joe’s Nuevo Latino. South American, Latin, Mexican, refined Latin food. Refined flavors. Next will be Gannon’s.

ver elegant platters of crab cake sliders, prosciutto and bleu cheese on crisp flatbread crackers, fois on toast and one of the best cheese balls I’ve ever tasted, Chef Beverly Gannon held a champagne toast at Gannon’s on Jan. 13 and updated a group of media on the upcoming changes at her restaurant empire. “I am not retiring anytime soon,” she said, quashing speculation that she’s leaving the food and beverage industry on the heels of Gannon’s Jan. 10 announcement of her new managing partners, Roger Stettler and Greg Shepherd, the owners of the epicurean Cow Pig Bun Restaurant in Kihei. “I am pleased and privileged to welcome two people who I think can take Bev Gannon Restaurants to the next level, Roger Stettler and Greg Shepherd,” Gannon said. “They have both proven to me that they are more than capable of helping me with my monster.” Gannon is the owner and chef for Hali‘imaile General Store, Gannon’s, A Pacific View Restaurant in Wailea and Joe’s Bar and Grill. Gannon also served as Corporate Chef for Hawaiian Airlines (1999-2010), during which time her food was named “Best Food in the Air in North America” by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler (2003, 2004 and 2006). On Jan. 13, she said her injection of fresh blood into her company will affect Joe’s Bar and Grill first. Stettler will be Executive Corporate Chef for the Gannon Restaurants, tapping into his international career with five star resorts. He’s also resigned as Executive Chef for the Four Seasons. As for Shepherd, he’ll be the Corporate General Manager and Corporate Director for Operations. Celebrations Catering & Events, Bev Gannon’s catering business, is not part of the deal. Shepherd has more than 20

We will look at what changes we need to make to get people here, and not just at happy hour. I have only worked at my restaurants. Those are the only restaurants I have ever worked at. But by bringing these two in, I now have collectively 30 or 40 restaurants of experience. There is so much knowledge that will help me build a better company.” Shepherd then explained some of their ideas for Joe’s. They are looking at the Latin trends coming across the country, Miami to LA, he said. The team felt there was an abundance of Italian in Wailea and knew they wanted to take a different direction. Gannon says all the favorite menu items from Joe’s will move onto the menu at Gannon’s. “When we first sat down and said, ‘What do you think about Joe’s?’ we were very quiet,” said Shepherd. “We didn’t want to say that we wanted to do Latin. And Bev says, ‘I think we need to do Latin.’ So right away we knew conceptually we had the same thoughts for what needed to happen. We knew it wouldn’t be any Italian whatsoever. We see a lot of things on the Mainland and we know what works and what doesn’t work. We will take advantage of that. The flavors of Latin work well with what we grow here so we know we will have plenty to source locally. Create something with a lot of energy. We will use a lot of South American wines. Argentina, Peru, Mexico City–there will be a lot of influences.” Shepherd said he expects Joe’s Nuevo Latino to open by mid-April. “We have a lot of staff at Joe’s,” he said. “We don’t want to keep them without employment. We are mindful of that.” ■

The Acrobats Or, what we learned after speaking with the New Shanghai Circus’ troupe coordinator

PHOTO COURTESY MACC

MAUITIME: Where in the world have you performed?

Nice bike!

ost of acrobats and contortionists who make up the New Shanghai Circus have been training in China since they were eight or 10 years old. They’ve been visiting Maui for a few years now, and soon will do so again. The circus comes to town (that would be the Maui Arts & Cultural Center) on Jan. 19. The show starts at 4pm and runs to 7:30pm. To find out more about what goes into the show, we spoke with Shuyang Wei, the troupe coordinator and translator for the New Shanghai Circus.

MT: Are there some acts that are so popular you always have to do them? What are they? SW: As you know, there are a bunch of different kinds of acrobatic acts. Some of the traditional acts, like hoop diving, contortion and diabolo (Chinese Yo Yo), are popular with the American audiences. We have these acts almost every year, only with different performers and different performing styles. MT: Has anything ever truly gone wrong during a performance? SW: Even it is hard to avoid miss, but we always try our best to avoid it. There wasn’t

It's a living

MT: Have your acts in the performance stayed the same through the years? SW: Generally speaking, we don’t change the performance during one year’s show season. But we do change the acts every year. We have a professional

SW: In fact, I love all of the acts in our performance. If I have to say which one is my favorite, I will say the rolling cups. It is a contortion act, from which you will be amazed by the softness and flexibility of the performer. MT: Where did your name come from? Was there an Old Shanghai Circus? SW: New Shanghai Circus is our tour brand, which has a history of more than 30 years. In Shanghai City, people like to call the city before 1940s as the Old Shanghai, and after as New Shanghai. We established this troupe in 1980s, that’s why we call ourselves as New Shanghai Circus. MT: Does your circus also perform in China? SW: The Chinese acrobatics has a history of more than 3,000 years. Some of the acts like

Now those are drummers!

MT: How long has this circus been performing? SW: New Shanghai Circus has a history of more than 30 years. We have been doing tour shows in the United States for more than 20 years as well. We started to have our own theater in Branson, Missouri in 1998.

MT: What’s your favorite act?

PHOTO COURTESY MACC

SHUYANG WEI: We’ve performed in almost all of the major countries around the world. Germany, Britain, Canada, Singapore, Japan and so on. Our favorite country is America. I do mean it. As you know, we have been performing in Branson, Missouri for more than 16 years, and during this period, we have tour shows almost every year. We enjoy performing in the States, as you have great theater culture here. You can find a good theater even in a very small town. And the audiences are the most enthusiastic in the world. MT: What’s your role in the circus? SW: I’m the troupe coordinator and translator and don’t perform in the show. But sometimes, I may do the announcement before the show. After I graduated from the graduate school of Missouri State University, I was looking for a job that could bring my superiority as a bilingual into full play. Then I found this job in New Shanghai Circus which matches my expectation. I really enjoy working with our acrobats. MT: How do you recruit performers? SW: We have 24 people in our group, 20 of them are performers. The performers of our group come from Shanghai and Anhui Province. Every year, we recruit performers from the acrobatic schools and troupes in China. In this way, we can have [a] different performance every year.

acrobatic director who directs and choreographs the performers’ acrobatic skills into a complete artistic performance.

any serious accident happen for this group in the past. MT: What qualifications are needed to be a performer? SW: Some of the acrobats diverted from gymnastic schools, but most of them come from the acrobatic schools in China. Generally speaking, the performers started to their training since they were only eight to 10 years old, and they also need to take the general courses like Chinese, Mathematics, science and other courses as required by the Chinese Ministry of Education. You need to pass the exams if you want to become a student in acrobatic school. And we always recruit the best students from the schools to be our performers.

diabolo, ball juggling and contortion have a very long history in China. In ancient China, acrobatics was a kind of street art but also loved by the royal families. In the modern era, we have transferred acrobats into a kind of synthetic stage art which combines acrobatic skills, music, dancing, lighting and so on. This is the Chinese acrobatics we can see now on stage. Before 2007, we had our own theater in Shanghai. The show aimed at tourists from other countries. After 2007, we changed our strategy and focus on our shows in Branson Missouri, as well as our tours every winter and spring in the United States.■ jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso For more foodie news, visit MauiTime’s website at: mauitime.com/entertainment

Film

by Barry Wurst II

The Shooter Clint Eastwood scores a bullseye with his ‘American Sniper’ ★★★★★ Rated R / 132 Min.

he opening scenes of Clint Eastwood’s American Sniper are so pivotal, to the main character and our understanding of him, that Eastwood shows it to us twice. We’re introduced to Navy SEAL and expert sniper Chris Kyle (played by Bradley Cooper) at a crucial moment: he’s on a mission, has spotted a mother/son team about to ignite a bomb and is in a position to terminate them both and save U.S. soldiers nearby. Kyle can see them holding the explosive, though the soldier sitting next to Kyle warns him, “if you’re wrong, you’ll get buried for this.” At first, we don’t see if Kyle fires. Instead, the story whips around to Kyle’s childhood. In a brisk assortment of scenes, we see Kyle’s dad raise his son with tough love, teaching him at a young age how to operate a firearm. Kyle’s days as a rodeo star are interrupted by his horror over 9/11, which inspires him to enlist and serve his country. Initially, he appears to be a top rate Navy SEAL but

not an able sniper. Then, after shooting a snake outside of the target range, he informs his superior that he’s better at hitting targets that are alive. The story moves by quickly and we’re back at the first scene. This time, we see the outcome of the horrible choice Kyle must make. By emphasizing this scene, showing it to us twice, Eastwood sums up both the appeal and hard truth about Chris Kyle: he was a hero and deserving of the “Legend” nickname his fellow soldiers gave him. Having to shoot living targets from far away is Kyle’s skill but he’s not boastful of his abilities and we see the psychological toll it takes on him. Cooper brings intriguing layers to the role. In Cooper’s hands, Kyle is humble but tough, kind but with a fierce inner strength. We immediately like Kyle, even as there’s a stubbornness to him, and a willingness to put his life in danger and his families’ peace of mind in jeopardy. Kyle did more than one tour of duty and even those who fought alongside him seem astonished by how many times he knowingly put himself in terrible danger. At age 84, Eastwood has made a tough, no-nonsense and exciting tribute to a courageous and fascinating man. This is

All those hours playing Duck Hunt finally paid off

almost as good as Katheryn Bigelow’s previous films for similar reasons: it avoids politicizing the war and gives intense focus to the inner turmoil and insane bravery of those who fight for their country. Eastwood doesn’t allow for sentimentality, which the film could have benefited from. We don’t need the screenplay to acknowledge how troubling it is for Kyle, a father, to have to shoot a child trained to be a terrorist, as the angst is all over Cooper’s face. However, the ending is moving but abrupt and could have been more explanatory and less ambiguous. Cooper, Eastwood’s direction and the cinematography couldn’t be better. The only other movie star in the cast is Sienna Miller, who is unrecognizable and solid in a potentially thankless role as Kyle’s long suffering wife. After a lot of non-starter roles in movies like

the first G.I. Joe, Miller finally has a chance to shine, though this is Cooper’s film all the way. Only one single moment, involving a slow-motion CGI bullet, gives in to rah-rah crowd pleasing. Otherwise, the stripped down human drama and harrowing impact of the combat scenes are refreshingly devoid of gloss. Eastwood once made Heartbreak Ridge, a comparatively corny, formulaic movie about soldiers who trained and fought in the battle of Grenada. American Sniper is his second war film set in a relatively modern time and is another of his crowning achievements as a filmmaker. He already made one directorial change of step this year, with his failed Frankie Valli musical. That movie didn’t work but I give Eastwood credit for constantly taking chances. The life of Chris Kyle was another cinematic risk but it pays off mightily and is one of Eastwood’s best films. ■

Horoscope

Sign Language CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

Your tribe is notoriously self-reliant. You take rugged individualism to an admirable extreme, even doing shit like converting your car to bio-diesel or storing your savings in your mattress. Unfortunately, the only times you allow others to really help you is when you have no other choice, at which point you become a big ol’ baby. Stop whining, sweetheart. Try to combine your utter need with your usual utter poise. If you ask for what you require from a place of power and confidence, you’re much more likely to get it than if you wheedle, whimper, and nag. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

You’re likely to reach such a unique and enviable philosophical juncture this week that I wish I could reverse-engineer it, to figure out exactly how you got there, and thus how we could get other people there. I wouldn’t call it enlightenment, exactly. You’re not even close to having all the answers. But you do have a lot of them, at least for this very moment. You know exactly what you need to do right now to cross off everything on your list of immediately available goals. Go ahead and take a minute to appreciate the golden virtue of being in such a powerful and far-seeing position. Then quit wasting it, and start using it.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

You’re like a germophobe fighting the flu virus. You go to the movies and you just know your enemy is floating around there somewhere, invisible, but there’s nothing you can do, short of becoming an anti-social recluse— which is, of course, counter to your essential nature. Unfortunately, the invisible forces at work against you are about as impersonal as influenza. However, you can take natural steps to prevent being taken down by them. If it was the flu you were fighting, there’d be obvious strategies: wash your hands, dose up on Echinacea, and get a good night’s sleep. Luckily, the tactics that will work best for your situation are just that clear—so you have no excuse not to employ them.

QUIZ understood

ANSWERS

...to questions from page 4

1: C–Divesting itself from interests in fossil-fuel companies. 2: D–Bobby Flay 3: B–Jet pack rides

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Yum. This week you’re apt to receive nourishment that’s dense with nutritional value, like mother’s milk, lembas, or royal jelly. Consume it all. Be a little greedy. You’re in need of extra spiritual sustenance right now, so accept it, whether the nurture comes from Mom, magical elves, or the humble honey bee. This bounty is all for you; it’s the universe providing the strength you’ll need. Don’t let guilt about your good fortune and abundance keep you from being a momentary glutton; since you’ll practically be fasting for the fortnight to follow this binge, you’ll need as much soul blubber as you can get.

WEDNESDAYS & FRIDAYS 7:30AM

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

This week, some of the profound blocks to your communication—which you’ve been contending with for months now—will finally be lifted. But events and relationships have, in the meantime, twisted and tangled themselves into millions of obnoxious knots. This past month you’ve mostly just thrown up your hands in frustrated helplessness, but since you’ll soon actually have the means to untie or snip at least some of those limiting snarls, spend this week determining which ones are attached to things you’ll need as soon as you’re free enough to use them, like your genitals, brain, or heart. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

I’m sure if you snorted a whole line of black pepper, you’d get a sort of endorphin rush from the intense fits of sneezing and watering eyes that followed; but I don’t see you rushing to try it, just for that lame high. However, you have been sampling things that are actually more damaging (to your ego, at least), just because they’ve been presented or suggested to you. Recognize the line of pepper for what it is, and realize, at last, just how allergic you are to some of the flavors being offered. Just because something arrives on a silver platter doesn’t mean you’ll like it, or that it’s good for you. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Don’t give too much away. Although in some respects you’re a very private person, only sharing your innermost self with a select few, you are awfully open about much that others might not be so quick to impart to total strangers. Where you draw the line between private and public is constantly shifting. It occasionally veers towards extremes; on one side, people find themselves hard-pressed to find out anything real about you; on the other, they may witness more of your inner workings than they’d wish. Since finding an appropriate balance between dorky overshare and alienating stoicism is essential this week, keep close tabs on how much you give of yourself, and how much you keep. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Negotiate nothing. This is the worst time to try to hash out new agreements of any kind. Generating mutual understanding about anything may be exceedingly difficult, even something as innocuous as where to grab a bite to eat. It sounds rash and rude, but believe me, it’s the better bet: If you’re unwilling to compromise, you’ll actually avoid a lot more conflict this week than you’d experience if you were trying to be accommodating. Basically, that leaves you two options: total tyranny or utter slavedom. Either will work, but since you need to go back to finding common ground next week, choose the one you’re less likely to get too used to.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

The one thing people fail to realize about Virgos is that they’re almost never actually obsessive-compulsive (even though they are often accused of it). Unlike people afflicted with OCD, you are quick to recognize what you can control and what you can’t. You use your organization to serve you, instead of being its servant. That’s the essence of serenity right there; knowing when to alphabetize, schedule, scour, and list, and knowing, instead, when to simply throw up your hands, laugh out loud, and let it all go down. Since you’ll be doing a lot more letting go than holding on this week, expect (and enjoy) more orgy than organization. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Some people just irritate you without trying. This happens to everyone; I often encounter people who grate on my nerves for no rational reason. Unfortunately, your feathers are all ruffled and disheveled right now, pointing in all directions, so everyone’s guilty of “rubbing you the wrong way.” Don’t let your midwinter tetchiness screw up your life by offending anyone you might later want to befriend. When someone makes you grind your teeth, grin and bear it. It’s you, not them—at least this week. If it’s still happening in seven days, it’s them, not you, so feel free to bite their heads off.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Be in good spirits. Even though you’re not exactly the most popular kid in town right now, you may be soon. You’re a couple steps ahead of most people; they’re only just starting to figure out the jokes you told last week, ruefully laughing and shaking their heads, and realizing exactly how clever and funny you are. They may not have picked up the phone yet, to invite you to supper or on a second date—they’re still in the stage of kicking themselves for being so thick-headed—but they will, soon. So be patient, and trust that when you tell jokes during Round Two, they’ll be so in tune with you it’ll only take them three hours, not days, to actually get them. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

For someone who relies so much on luck, beware: recently, your only decently reliable good luck charm has abandoned you. Therefore, you should retire, at least temporarily, consideration of any semi-stupid (or utterly ridiculous) risk, until such a time when you’ll be able to pull them off without breaking both your legs. Besides, there’s no need to go jumping out of planes without a parachute or even with one; the Sure Things you’ve got lined up right now are plenty exciting, and ought to have the adrenaline pumping enough to keep you occupied for months to come.
