Climbing HI, BC Tree Care & West Maui Woodworks
join the global movement to save Borneo’s Virgin Rainforest. On June 24th, Climbing HI, BC Tree Care and West Maui Woodworks will be camping in the tree tops for a “lofty” cause. They will head for the trees in support of The Big Canopy Campout (TBCC), an international event bringing together tree climbers, wlmmakers, nature lovers and adventure activists from all over the world for one night in the tree tops, raising money to save the rainforest in Borneo. The event will begin with the sunset in New Zealand and will end with the sunrise on Maui. With the world’s forests threatened more now than ever by logging companies and big agriculture, it is critical that we join in the global movement to bring awareness to the cause. The TBCC has teamed up with the World Land Trust, an international charity that works with local people to protect forested land from destruction and conversion to agriculture. The goal is to raise the wnal $56,000 to purchase virgin rainforest along the Kinabatangan River in North East Borneo. The World Land Trust and its overseas partners have been instrumental in the acquisition and protection of more than 600,000 acres of tropical forest and other threatened habitats. Together they ensure that more than 4 million acres of land are managed under active protection worldwide. By showing support for TBCC and donating to the WLT, you will be preserving one of the few remaining virgin rainforests of the North-East Borneo region. You will be saving the critical habitat and lives of the Pygmy Elephants, Malay Sunbears, Clouded Leopards and many more magniwcent creatures that depend on the forest for survival.
Climbing HI was started by team members from BC Tree Care|out of their love and appreciation for trees and the environment. BC Tree Care strives to operate sustainably with minimal impact, bringing awareness to giving back to our land and zero waste of our natural resources. In the process of necessary tree removals, they saw the opportunity to utilize all the materials from the trees. The name BC is short for “Be The Change”, a vision applied to the overall operations of the business. The bio-waste produced from tree care operations is recycled back into many of our local farms and residential properties.
The actual trees themselves are transported to our lumber company where BC Tree Care has partnered with Derek Lau to create West Maui Woodworks. WMW produces locally made, one-of-a-kind, wne woodworking designs showcasing our native wood species, promoting a full cycle of life for the trees. Thus, “Turning Trees into Treasures.” With many talented and driven individuals making up the team of BC Tree Care, Climbing HI, and West Maui Woodworks they soon hope to embark on many more ventures that wt into their business model of sustainability here on Maui. From biochar and tree nurseries to food production and educational outreach the inspiration towards stewardship of the Earth is their primary focus. If the practice of reconnecting with nature can become every individual’s passion, the act of rehabilitating the planet will be fun and rewarding.
Climbing HI, a recreational tree climbing company and a passionate group of tree lovers here on Maui, is spearheading the closing event for TBCC from our beautiful forest canopy. Climbing HI teaches tree climbing to families, eco-adventurers and aspiring arborists. The company’s mission is to “Live, Climb, and Inspire”. From single day climbs to custom journeys, Climbing HI teaches how to slow down, breathe and tune into the awe-inspiring energy that nature provides.

YEARS OF
INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM It’s hard to believe sometimes that we’ve been around for two decades. Sure, we’ve changed a lot in that time (what hasn’t?). But in that time, we’ve brought you a lot of stories–some good, others not so much, but all with the goal of publishing interesting, readable and honest stories about what’s really going on in Maui County. That commitment remains the same today as it was back in Volume 1, Issue 1. In the following retrospect, we recall 20 examples of what we consider great MauiTime journalism. The stories are all over the map in terms of subject matter–surf, crime, politics, music. But they’re also all unquestionably Maui stories, full of life and color that’s as vibrant as the island we call home. Then starting on page 23, various current and former MauiTime staffers reminisce about what brought them to the paper and/or what they did here. We hope you’ve enjoyed the last two decades as much as we did, because we have every intention of sticking around for more.
“Shaping The Future: Matt Kinoshita” Sept. 16, 1997 By Dave Sweedler
Dave Sweedler wrote a ton of surf stories for MauiTime in the early years. Few even today are as dialed into the local surf community as Sweedler. Many of his stories were profiles like this one of local surfer and board shaper Matt Kinoshita. Even back then, Kinoshita’s Kazuma Surfboards made some of Maui’s most recognized boards. “The positive side of surfing today
is that the level of surfing has risen amongst the new generation, and it’s very exciting to see the change,” Kinoshita told Sweedler. “I think there will be a whole new push towards professionalism and a clean image for surfers in the future. I’m coaching kids with 4.0 grade point averages who totally rip in the water. There should be nothing holding back a future world champ from Maui. My life would be totally complete if a kid I coach becomes a world champion.” That hasn’t happened yet, but given that some of Kinoshita’s students were Matt Meola, Dusty Payne and Ian Walsh, we’re thinking Kinoshita is still happy with how things turned out. “Kite Surfing: A New Wind Blowing” July 21, 1998 By Dave Sweedler
Drive by Hookipa or the North Kihei shoreline (depending on how
the wind is blowing) and you’ll probably see a flock of giant kites in the sky. Kite surfing seems to have exploded in popularity in the last few years, but of course Sweedler told us all about it nearly two decades ago, when it was still so novel that many residents didn’t know what to make of it–so much so that sometimes hilarity ensued. “A bizarre incident happened to professional windsurfer Sierra Emory while kite surfing at Baldwin reef,” Sweedler reported. “‘I went down and my strings became tangled. It took me half an hour to roll in my kite. As I was paddling in, I noticed police cars and fire trucks pulling in and heading in my direction. As I got out of the water they came running down to me. Apparently someone driving by thought that a parachutist had crashed in the ocean.”

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM “Rotten To The Core” Sept. 12, 2000 By Olivia Techoueyres
It’s hard to think of a more iconic image of Hawaii than a coconut tree, its fronds swaying in a gentle tradewind breeze. So when we discovered
“On Maui, approximately 20 percent of the coconut trees have died… Although no one really knows how this fungus got to Hawaii, most scientists believe that it is spread by strong windblown rains, through insects, birds, and mice, or by pruning and planting infected trees.” While we still have coconut trees on Maui today, the fungus that can kill them is also still here. “Do We Really Want Captive Dolphins Here?” Sept. 26, 2000 By Cynthia Matzke
coconut heart rot was killing the trees on Maui, and throughout Hawaii, we set out to learn why. “The disease, known as ‘coconut heart rot,’ is caused by the fungus Phytophthora katsurae,” wrote reporter Olivia Techoueyres.
In hindsight, it’s hard to imagine that a dolphin park was nearly built on Maui. But 17 years ago, the for-profit arm of the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation wanted to build a “Maui Nui theme park” in South Maui that would include four captive dolphins. “As a community we must question the wisdom of draining our precious wild resources to build an artificial rainforest in Kihei,” author Cynthia Matzke wrote. “Now is the time to either speak up, or be sure to stop by the gift shop on your way out. Maui’s soul may be for sale.” Needless to say, residents howled in protest and the plan eventually died down. In 2002, then-County Councilmember Joanne Johnson sponsored a bill, which later became law, banning dolphin captivity in Maui County.

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM “Building Barriers” Nov. 21, 2000 By Nicole Chipman
One of the great things about the State of Hawaii is that all coastline here–all of it–is open to the public. In a place where so much of the culture and economy is based on the
property, but it is not. There is supposed to be a beach access road, but there is not,” says Spike, a long-time surfer of the Maui seas. “A few people blew it for everybody by playing their radios too loud or leaving empty cans around, but it is not fair that everyone should suffer for it,” he says. The story made a big impact on readers, but even today, the gates at Puamana are still up. So it goes. “Foil Boarding On Maui” Mar. 27, 2001 By Dave Sweedler
ocean, it’s important to ensure proper, unfettered beach access. So when gates suddenly went up at the Puamana neighborhood–one of West Maui’s prime surf spots–we spoke out. “They try to claim the beach is their private
Kai Lenny is getting a lot of attention these days for foil boarding (he even does so on a television commercial for First Hawaiian Bank), but the sport is old news for MauiTime readers. Way back in 2001, Sweedler was writing in these pages about the then-revolutionary sport being developed by such surf legends as Laird Hamilton, Dave Kalama and Rush Randle. “It has the same feeling as when we first started towing into Pe‘ahi, the infancy stage is a very exciting period,” Kalama told Sweedler. “We call ourselves the Pelican Surf Club, because you’re riding the air current above the water, flowing in the crest of the wave like a bird. The lines you can draw are much different from surfing, you can truly ride in the crest of the wave or you can drop down, go way out in front and carve a big snowboard-like turn. You can really get the momentum going through a flat section–it’s amazing how fast you can go.”

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM to inmates at Maui Community Correctional Center as part of an experimental program called Free Inside that sought to lower the incredibly high recidivism rates for inmates that remain high to his day. This was too good a story to pass up, so after interviewing Duncombe, Pignataro and photographer Bron Hollingshead made an appointment to observe her at work. “All the time I forget these are criminals,” Duncombe said in the story. “Then the guys will talk about having bullets in them. I see a lot of tears and remorse in their eyes. And a lot of wisdom. I hope they start a daily practice that they don’t forget when they’re back on the street and tempted in different ways. They put up a lot of resistance at first. There are a lot of tough guys, but also a lot of jokesters. I don’t take them very seriously. To be honest, I haven’t been concerned about my safety.”
“Reflections From Maui” Sept. 25, 2001 By Travis Henderson
Learning about the four airline hijackings and subsequent attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001 while living on Maui was a surreal experience. Here we were, in the days before social media, trying to comprehend the damage and horror in an environment far removed from the East Coast. And then came the Bush Administration’s order to shut down all airline flights in the United States–for three days, no one could fly in or out of Maui (or anywhere else in the U.S. for that matter.) And when flights started up again, security procedures were up and tourism was down, which hit Hawaii hard. As it was, an issue of MauiTime hit the streets on Sept. 11. Because of the thenbiweekly nature of the paper back then, that meant that we wouldn’t be able to address the attacks until two weeks later. “On the Saturday after the tragedy, local residents Joel Navarro, Paul Brown, and Adam Quinn organized a showing of aloha of Launiupoko Beach Park,” Travis Henderson wrote. “Sending out a message to Maui residents to bring any kind of watercraft they had along with flowers or leis, they paddled out to show unity with America as well as the rest of the world. Over 250 people, including members of the fire department, visitors, residents and children came out to show that, since we live in paradise, maybe we can send a little bit of sunshine and aloha towards the dark cloud hanging over NYC and Washington, D.C.” “Who’s Pulling Molina’s Strings?” Aug. 8, 2002 By Don Gronning
Today Mike Molina is an aide to Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa–one in a series of out-of-work politicians/former County Councilmembers who today resides in the mayor’s office. But back in 2002, he was a member of the Maui County Council representing Makawao, Haiku and Paia. And he did something we thought
“Was Rick Gregory Really A Danger?” Apr. 15, 2004 By Anthony Pignataro
was rather naughty: vote to approve a big Makena development project that was quite close to land he owned. At first, the county Ethics Board voted to prohibit Molina from voting on the project. But then a lawyer and appraiser appealed to the board, and suddenly they reversed themselves. “Molina’s attorney, Dennis Nakamura, and an Oahu land appraisal company, said the value of the 12.9 acre parcel Molina owns a part of would not be affected if the Makena Resort rezone is approved, even though the land is located about a mile from the proposed rezone,” Don Gronning reported. But even after the reversal, one member of
the Ethics Board still thought Molina should recuse himself. “If the value is so worthless, why insist on retaining interest?” Michael Inouye told Gronning. “I voted mainly for his protection. Why not have a clean slate so he can vote either way, and not have it come back to haunt him?” “The Prisoner Position” Feb. 26, 2004 By Anthony Pignataro
It was while doing interviews for a story on Mana‘o Radio that Anthony Pignataro discovered that Betsy Duncombe, the wife of one of the DJs there, taught yoga classes
This was one of the most depressing stories we ever published. A guy, Rick Gregory, shows up where a local band is practicing. At first everything’s cool but then he starts acting weird. The band members call the cops. Things go bad, the guy ends up on the floor with three MPD cops on top of him, and then he’s dead. The only way we were able to report this with any detail is because the County of Maui botched their redaction when they responded to our public records request for police Internal Affairs reports on the death (which were only available because Gregory’s family was suing them for wrongful death). “Statements made by the three officers after the death said Gregory continued to rant and rave after they cuffed him, but also that he complained he couldn’t breathe as they attempted to restrain him,” Pignataro reported. “All three officers said they ignored Gregory’s plea, telling him that if he could talk, he could breathe.” As often happens in these cases, a judge later threw out the Gregory family’s lawsuit.

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM “Jailbird Moms” May 20, 2004 By Anthony Pignataro
There was a lot of reporting around the county about Maui’s Drug Court in the spring of 2004, so we decided to take a look at some of the people actually in the program. Specifically, what led two mothers named Cheryl and Tania to prison, and what they were doing in anticipation of their eventual release. Part of the story involved observing them during a special Mother’s Day event at
the Cameron Center, during which they got to spend two hours with their kids. It was a profoundly emotional event–especially at the end. “Across the room, Drug Court Administrator BarbaraAnn Keller was watching one mother and daughter,” Pignataro wrote. “‘Look at that poor girl,’ she said, referring to one crying girl being comforted by her mother. ‘She’s been crying the whole time.’ “It was around five in the afternoon, shortly after the children busted open a couple pinatas, that the event came to a close. As the guitarists played ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow,’ the inmates began collecting their souvenir photos, roses and cards in preparation for getting back on the bus to MCCC. One woman cradled her baby–there were half a dozen there that day–for a few moments, then handed the child to a staffer before taking her things and leaving. In the confusion, one overworked staffer handed Keller a crying infant.” “Jazztastic!” July 14, 2005 By Samantha Campos

You can use innovation when playing ‘Girl from Ipanema.’ But [in hotels and restaurants] you don’t wanna change it too much to be esoteric. “I’ve seen how musicians justify navigating through the difficult territory of lobby jazz,” Johnstone continued. “And I’ve seen them sit there and very quietly, wail their asses off.

Most famous for being MauiTime’s Holoholo Girl clubs columnist, Samantha Campos was also a thoughtful writer and conscientious reporter. Here, she decided to look at Maui’s jazz scene, much of which is confined to the lobbies of luxurious resorts. The result was delightful and informative, full of great quotes and history. It was exactly the kind of elevated stories MauiTime tries to bring our readers. “The secret to playing hotel lobby jazz is to be real,” said Mark Johnstone, a keyboardist, in the story. “You just can’t be real loud.

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM “Who Is Willie K?” May 25, 2006 By Samantha Campos
Of course Samantha Campos was the natural choice to profile Willie K, Maui’s most talented and famous contemporary musician, who also has a reputation for being prickly, difficult to ap-
“You gotta take all the bad shit with the good,” Willie K told Campos. “I knew I was gonna have to face that when I got into it. Most local musicians aren’t prepared for that… If you take this move to being a public figure, you better be prepared for the outcome of both sides. Otherwise, it’s gonna slap you hard. Look at Tiger Woods–he can’t even go into a public bathroom. The reason I’m an ‘asshole’ is so I can go to a public restroom. People say, ‘Oh, there’s Willie K, no bother him.’” “The Strange Case Of Bob Awana” June 14, 2007 By Greg Mebel
proach. No one else here could have written this. Drawing on her years spent making contacts in Maui’s music scene, Campos was able to get Willie K to open up like he hadn’t before. The resulting story was exemplary, delving into both the musician’s incredible musical abilities and the choices he made to maintain his personal life.
This was, without a doubt, the weirdest story we ever ran. It concerned Bob Awana, who at the time was Governor Linda Lingle’s chief of staff–one of the most powerful officials in state government then–and a weird blackmail scheme that involved him, an Indian national and, apparently, a woman in the Philippines. Spurred on by a clipping from an Indian newspaper someone sent us anonymously, reporter Greg Mebel dug in (the old Honolulu Star-Bulletin even credited his work in an editorial). “I was blackmailed by email,” Awana told Mebel. “I went to [then U.S. Attorney Edward] Kubo, he notified the FBI, and I cooperated with their investigation.” What exactly happened, we’ll never know. What details did emerge were salacious. Though he insisted that he was innocent, Awana resigned as chief of staff a couple weeks after our story came out.

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM “Digging For The Camp” Aug. 2, 2007 By Greg Mebel and Anthony Pignataro
A decade before news headlines screamed about “Muslim bans” and other pernicious, racist government crackdowns, we went in search of Maui’s Japanese camp that was set up in Haiku during the first months of World War II. It was a dark time for anyone who believes in civil rights–government
imprisoned people merely for being Japanese. “Tetsuji Hanzawa–owner of Hanzawa’s Store, which is still in Haiku–was one of the prisoners held at the Haiku camp,” Mebel and Pignataro wrote. “According to [granddaughter Sandra] Daniells, authorities took her grandfather first to the Haiku camp, and then to a more permanent
facility in New Mexico. When ordered into the camp, Hanzawa’s wife and other relatives were left behind to run the business without him. In this regard, Hanzawa was lucky–after the war, he had a still-functioning business to return to.” It’s both infuriating and pathetic that stories like this don’t lose their relevancy with the passage of time. “Eddie Sees It Go” Oct. 18, 2007 By Paul Wood
The great Hawaiian musician and filmmaker Eddie Kamae died in January of this year at the age of 89. Talented, influential, humorous, Kamae was a living treasure when Paul Wood profiled him for us a decade ago. The hook for the story was the debut of Kamae’s wonderful documentary Lahaina: Waves of Change, about the close of the Pioneer Mill in 1999. The resulting work was a joy to read. “Pilahi [Paki] helped Eddie write the words to the song ‘Kela Mea Whiffa,’ which became a big island hit song in 1975,” Wood wrote. “Eddie told me the story, how in the early ’70s he came over to visit friends in Lahaina. His pal Louie Kalahui had picked them up at the airport. ‘So we come over and we gotta pass Launiupoko, right? So my friend [Louie], he says stop the car.’ They parked right in the center of the stench. ‘He had all the wives waiting in the car, screaming at him.’ But Louie got out of the car and took a deep breath. ‘And he salutes the area. And he calls out: ‘Aloha, kela mea whiffa!’ I say, ‘What you say, kela mea whiffa? What is it?’ He said, ‘It’s the breath of love!’”

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM ganized labor. Using previously unpublished oral histories on file at the University of Hawaii library, we were also able to finally provide a compelling reason as to why Cravalho suddenly resigned the mayorship in 1979 at the apparent height of his popularity. “[H]e became kind of disgruntled,” Hannibal Tavares, who eventually became Maui Mayor in the 1980s, recalled in his 1991 oral history. “And when he told me that he was planning to resign, I didn’t believe it. I said, ‘No, you can’t do that. You have to finish your term, Elmer.’ “‘No, I’m sick and tired of taking all this crap,’ Cravalho said, according to Tavares. ‘These people simply will not follow what I’m trying to do. I’m going to resign.’”
“No Can Dance” Apr. 9, 2009 By Kate Bradshaw Through the years, MauiTime has reported a great deal on the infuriating injustices that seem endemic to the Maui County Department of the Liquor Control. By far the wildest and most ridiculous LC insult is their stubborn, patriarchal need to regulate dancing. Dancing! By 2009, reporter Kate Bradshaw was fed up with it, and wrote about the longtime efforts of two Maui residents–Ramoda Anand and Anthony Simmons, who formed Maui Dance Advocates– to get the LC to lighten up. “If you dance naked for an audience in a bar or club you’re protected by the First Amendment,” Bradshaw wrote. “But in Maui County, you don’t have the right to dance in a liquor-selling establishment even when fully clothed–unless you’re in an area specifically designated for dancing, and only dancing. “For Maui Dance Advocates and others who care about this issue, it goes beyond a brief, ambiguous rule in the LC’s books. Underlying this fight is a belief that without public vigilance, governments can make policies that erode the liberties we take for granted. “‘I want people to think about their freedom,’ says Simmons.”
“The Wave She Rode” Feb. 9, 2017 By Lantana Hoke
“@grandmaflorence” Oct. 15, 2009 By Ynez Tongson
Born in Lahaina, Florence Hasegawa spent 70 years–70!–as a Maui County marriage license agent (one of the many, many couples she married was MauiTime’s own Tommy and Jen Russo). In retirement, at the age of 101, having outlived just about everyone she grew up with, she turned to Twitter and became something of a local social media star. To not have written about her would been a crime against journalism “Florence Hasegawa sits in her chair like a life-wizened general, barking orders to family and friends,” Tongson wrote. “Like any good general, she has a lot of loyal followers–811 to be exact, as of this writing, from all corners of the globe. Those followers have found her on Twitter, the
ubiquitous micro-blogging site that allows users to post short messages (140 characters or less) about whatever’s on their mind. For Grandma Florence, as she is known on Twitter, that means ruminations on everything from family to food to whether she fears death (she doesn’t).” Hasegawa died in Lahaina in 2014, just two months shy of her 106th birthday. Maui hasn’t been the same since. “The Giant” Oct. 13, 2016 By Anthony Pignataro
The death of former Hawaii House Speaker and Maui Mayor Elmer Cravalho in
June 2016, and the weak, shallow obituaries that followed spurred Editor Anthony Pignataro to spend a few months digging deep into Cravalho’s legacy. Using extensive newspaper archive research, oral histories and documents obtained from the FBI and U.S. Army through the Freedom of Information Act, he was able to produce a monster of a story–one of the longest this paper has ever run–that shows why Cravalho was Maui’s most powerful political figure in the last century. Our research even uncovered a previously unknown fact: that U.S. Army Intelligence had kept a confidential file on Cravalho during the 1950s, because of his close ties to or-
MauiTime started off as a largely surforiented publication, and it’s fitting that we end our retrospective by highlighting a relatively recent profile Lantana Hoke did on Maui surfer Paige Alms, who became the first big-wave women’s world champion at the 2016 Peahi Challenge. Surfing doesn’t make it into the paper much these days, but when Hoke offered to profile Alms, we jumped at it. The result was a solid portrait of a young athlete who’s somehow both famous and unknown. “At the Women’s March on Maui on Saturday, Jan. 21, Paige Alms was moving through the crowd of thousands gathered to speak up for women’s rights and equality and against the authoritarianism of Donald Trump when she saw herself,” Hoke wrote. “It was a large photo of her surfing Jaws, posted on a sign with the words ‘Action is Power.’ Alms went up to the woman holding the sign and asked if she could take picture with her. “‘Suuuuure…’ the woman told her, clearly not recognizing her. “‘You have me on your sign,’ Alms responded. ‘No big deal.’” ■ editor@mauitime.com + @apignataro For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM
Reminiscing... Anthony Pignataro
My own career in journalism began a year prior to MauiTime’s birth, so it’s easy for me to identify with its growth. There was a computer on my desk the day I started as an intern at OC Weekly in January 1996, but it was only for writing stories (if memory serves, it wasn’t even connected to the internet for another six months). I had a phone, phone book, notebook and directions to the nearest library. My standing orders were simple: find true, interesting and unique stories that will show readers what’s happening in their city/state/country. The cushiness of such an assignment were unmistakable, even in the early days. I could go practically anywhere in the county, talk to people, read, talk to more people, then write what I knew and get paid. That was it. I didn’t have to climb
telephone poles or escort inmates to the showers or do any of the difficult labor required of the other million horrible jobs out there. I was a young, single, straight, college-educated, white male reporter on the make. Ugh. Looking back, I can’t help but shake my head at the hubris of me accepting the MauiTime editorship in 2003. I was certainly experienced enough, talented
our email correspondences) noticed that I had identified various people in the story by their race, but had not done so for those in the story who were white. The reader pointed this out to me, and called me a racist. My reaction was about what you’d expect from a liberal, straight white guy: I got angry and argued with the reader. But over time, I realized that the reader was right and I was wrong. What I had done
enough, progressive enough, but honestly, what was I thinking? Sure, Southern California is one of the most cosmopolitan areas in the world (my own high school in Whittier was nearly all Latino even when I went there), but nothing in my background properly prepared me–the poster child of middle class privilege–to take over an alternative weekly on Maui, a place eternally in tension from its dependence on a service economy staffed by overworked, underpaid locals who cater to mostly rich tourists. I knew Hawaii was a different state than any other in the U.S.–the paper’s owner, Tommy Russo, would never have hired me if I didn’t at least comprehend that–but the effects of the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, the decimation of the Hawaiian people and the plantationspurred influx of multitudes of workers from the Philippines, Azores, Puerto Rico and Asia were still hazy to me. Here’s an example. In 2012, I wrote a story about Maui Adult Day Care Center in Kahului. The story was fine for the most part, lauding the center for the vital service it provides to aging seniors, but soon after it published a reader (who remained anonymous throughout
was racist. What I had done was othering people who weren’t like me. For too long, I had been content in my experience as an editor, never even entertaining the notion that bad habits I’d learned long ago could be doing damage I didn’t even recognize. It was a low point for me, sure, but it certainly crystallized within me the need for more introspection–and that’s never a bad thing.
ILLUSTRATION BY RON PITTS
I
hate starting stories with “I.” Some curmudgeon reader probably snapped at me years ago for doing that, and I’ve subconsciously winced every time the thought popped into my mind when presented with a blank screen. But when writing about the scrappy paper I’ve called home for half my journalistic career that has somehow survived to its 20th birthday even though at one time or another it’s broken or ignored just about every newspaper convention, I suppose breaking this is the least of my transgressions. At a time when news organizations across the U.S. are changing, shrinking or just going away entirely, MauiTime turning 20 is a legitimately big deal. Especially given that the year of its birth (1997) bears no resemblance whatsoever to the times in which we now live. Back then, newspapers were still largely, sometimes even exclusively, made of paper (though MauiTime was publishing on its own webpage–MauiTime.com–as early as Volume 1, Issue 1). Besides, the whole philosophical foundation of MauiTime–a group of people, chosen for their special skills in writing and observation, who decide what the community at large should know about–is under assault by social media algorithms. The same tech that makes it so easy for you to read the latest MauiTime story on your phone also made it ridiculously easy (and lucrative) to spread right-wing propaganda during the 2016 election. News organizations like MauiTime that depend on advertising dollars are struggling in this new mobile digital world, where barely half a dozen big companies (Facebook, Google, et al) vacuum up nearly two-thirds of all digital advertising money, and there’s every sign it will get worse in the coming years. When you factor in the fact that I haven’t gotten a raise in, well, seven years, or the new hip trend for partisans is to dismiss anything they disagree with as “fake news,” it’s easy to wonder why I’m still at it.
The evolution of MauiTime mirrors my own coming to grips with these realities. In the late 1990s, the paper was literally run by two white transplants in Lahaina. It ran a lot of surf stories, feel-good features and published one of the best calendars of local events anyone on the island could find. It was, in every sense of the insult, “HaoleTime” (a name we still periodically hear today, with some justification). But honestly, looking through the archives of the paper’s early years, it’s hard to imagine the paper you’re reading now is that same publication. My goal, from my first day as editor, has always been to provide readers with valuable information, told as honestly as we can. We were never to talk down to readers, but would
challenge them when we could. We would provide entertainment, of course, but also news and culture. We would try to be as colorful and vibrant as the island around us. And, where possible, funny. That last part is so damned important. Without even a smattering of humor, we’d be like The Maui News, and no one wants that. That’s why we have Eh Brah, which is probably our most popular column. It’s why we have Caeriel Crestin write our Sign Language horoscope column (to my delight, I once watched a young woman wandering the aisles at Safeway, her eyes glued to the latest Sign Language installment). Sure, we like to be irreverent, but if we can also make you laugh (or at least smile), then we’ve accomplished something great. With each passing year, the diversity of the voices in the paper continues to increase. Current writers Lantana Hoke, Jen Russo and Barry Wurst all grew up on Maui, as did former writers like Starr Tendo and Anu Yagi. There is still much room for growth, but one of the greatest accomplishments of MauiTime is providing a platform for these talented individuals. Though all have different perspectives, they bring to the paper thoughts, stories and analyses that other publications around here wouldn’t publish. Which, to close a very wide circle, is why I’m still here, and why I love my job. Relic of a bygone media era or not, MauiTime remains an open, transparent source for political, food, arts and cultural news on Maui. Each of our stories comes from a named author. My own contact information is published each week on Page 3 of the print edition–has been for as long as I can remember. And we use the same journalistic techniques (interviewing sources, requesting documents, etc.) as any big newspaper. Our readers clearly respect all this, because they’ve stuck through us for 20 years. To close, I’d like to thank people who, through the years, have done outstanding work behind the scenes to bring MauiTime to you. People like Judy Toba, who for many years kept the paper’s administration side running, and Shannon Kekahuna, who does that job now. Jenn Brown has been doing odd administration jobs around here for as long as I can remember. Then there’s Dina Wilson, who did double duty as a circulation driver and proofreader. And Ron Pitts, who I met at the South Shore Tiki Lounge a decade ago, has ever since been faithfully drawing those Eh Brah cartoons you all love so much without complaint (even though we don’t pay him). Without people like this, MauiTime would never have survived the last decade.

With their then-biweekly paper, Mark and Tommy clearly intended on creating a community ity around surf and music, with h a deep love of Maui and its people. ple. And for a California transplant ant like myself, I relished their eir insight into the local al scene. Five years later I joined the ragtag team as proofreader, Mark left for other adventures, Tommy’ss smartypants girlfriend nd at the time (now wife) fe) Jen ran the books (and nd calendar and classifieds), ), and our little ragtag team grew ew into a beachfront office on Front Street. I have the fondest memories of our newsweekly ‘ohana, which included raucously entertaining graphic designer Rudi King and sales dude Jeff Onderko, and my very first writing mentor, editor Anthony Pignataro, a man of great patience and virtue. The thing is, what Tommy was trying to do with MauiTime was a little crazy. Maui is slow to change despite its everincreasing influx of visitors (which is part of its charm, and its downfall–hello, Pali traffic), and the established paradigms were largely conservative. The mission of alternative newsweeklies–like MauiTime–was to shake things up a bit, to give voice to the powerless and to be a progressive champion of the truth. Not just what bureaucratic and business leaders wanted to hear, not what the tourist board would necessarily approve of, but the real deal. While Anthony covered the weightier issues, I dove into the arts and culinary worlds of the island, to discover and connect with Maui’s creative spirit. We had little money but we had Tommy, king of gumption. And we had purpose. That purpose led me to meet and interview so many of Maui’s talented musicians, painters, tattoo artists, chefs, filmmakers,
authors, comedians, bartenders, woodworkers, tantric practitioners, fire-breathers, palm readers, alchemists, nutritionists, sexologists, and karaoke divas. They became my people. And they are the heart and soul of Maui, far beyond the in-flight “Welcome tto Hawaii” video and InstaIns grammed sunset pics. pics Love it or hate it, it MauiTimee exists at a time when the truth is inconvenient. But it’s it vital. We were a small smal group of people from difwho ferent backgrounds wh common joined together for a com goal.

If you’ve got a date, he’ll lend you his slickest cruiser and recommend the perfect oceanfront restaurant, while giving you the 411 on which bands are playing that night. What would we be without that uncle? My tenure at the paper is but a tiny blip in the history of the paper at this point. But what I learned during that time will stay with me for the rest of my life. MauiTime was the gateway for my love of writing, for staying curious, for learning and thinking and growing. I’m forever grateful for being given the chance to write the “Holoholo Girl” column, as provocative and sometimes painful as it was. But that column allowed me to speak my truth as a restless young (-ish) woman on a small island in the middle of the Pacific, and my search for meaning. It’s something I think a lot about now, the gift of expression and of having a voice. May we all be as free.

I spent three years as editor of MauiTime, and they felt like a flash and an eternity. I interviewed a theoretical physicist-slashsurf bum who thought he’d discovered the shape of the universe, turned politicians into zombies (and I mean that literally), hung out with the corrupt good ol’ boys of the county liquor commission, inadvertently trapped the future governor of Hawaii behind a locked gate, ate from a chocolate fountain with Zac Efron (who was inexplicably wearing a children’s backpack) and printed an entire issue in 3D, which necessitated hand-stuffing blue and red glasses into tens of thousands of newspapers. Come to think of it, those were some of the less weird things I did. What I remember most about my tenure at that scrappy little weekly, however, are the people. The aforementioned Brad Chambers, who served for years as the paper’s chief salesman and tatted primary breadwinner. My various art directors, including the irrepressibly passionate Travis Tiffin (RIP), the lovably fastidious Brittany Shaw and the keen-eyed and hyper-talented Texan Chris Skiles.

first Association of Alternative Newsmedia (AAN) writing award. Jen Russo, one of the most laid-back no-nonsense people I know, who stumped for me to get the gig and was always a source of support. And, of course, Tommy, who has kept the ship afloat for 20 years. Through the halcyon days of the late-90s, through George W. Bush and the Great Recession, through the advent of YouTube,
writer David Sedaris, a hero of hers, conducted shortly before her diagnosis. That’s her story to tell. My story was a suddenly empty editorial office. For weeks, I cranked out the paper without the help of my right-hand woman, who was off on Oahu getting treatment for a bone cancer she didn’t deserve and I couldn’t comprehend. There were lonely days, late nights, when I left the house before my kids

rad’s tattoos. That’s the first thing I saw when I walked into the MauiTime office on North Main Street in the spring of 2008. I was fresh off a run as staff reporter at an alt weekly in tony Marin County and looking for a new challenge. Something completely different, but sort of the same. I’d heard about an editor opening at this newspaper in Hawaii, which sounded simultaneously too good and too crazy to be true. What the hell? Buy the ticket, take the ride, fill out the animal/agricultural declaration form. “Is Tommy in?” Brad jerked a fully inked arm toward the back of the room. “Right in there,” he said in his voiceover baritone. Sure enough he was, Tommy Russo, slippered feet up on his desk. His kinetic energy hit me before I crossed the threshold. Meeting Tommy is like being hit by a very friendly wave, or maybe hugged by a hurricane. We talked, me at first and then mostly him. Tommy talks in rolling bursts; keeping up is the trick. You learn with time. We hit it off, or so I felt, but when I walked out the door past Brad–who shot me a knowing wink for reasons I would only later understand–I felt sure this couldn’t be for real. Maui was where you came to take vacations and sip overpriced corn syrup cocktails. What were the odds I’d live here, wrangling sources and battling deadlines? Turns out, 100 percent.
not your typical bean counter…
Jacob with former staff writer Kate Bradshaw
Facebook, Twitter (which Tommy insisted I join way back in 2008, by the way, meaning I totally got the @Jacobshafer handle) and now into the tenuous frontier of Donald Trump’s America. It’s impressive, no two ways about it. Folks outside the media sphere–the people who grab MauiTime to scan the Grid, chortle at Eh Brah! and see what’s in store for Sagittarius–can’t possibly understand the blood, sweat, tears and other bodily fluids that go into making a publication materialize every seven days. Yeah, that’s how long it took God to create the Earth, but he’s God. And even he rested. This is a sad story, and a personal one. I hesitate to even mention it, but it’s something Anu wrote about in a different way at the time, so I don’t feel I’m betraying anyone’s trust. (Hope I’m right.) In the autumn of 2009, I was sitting in my two-bedroom downstairs apartment in Wailuku, overlooking the harbor and the container ships sliding in and out with rectangular metal offerings from a benevolent capitalist deity. My phone rang. It was Anu. “It’s leukemia.” Those words hung suspended and heavy in the sticky evening air. I tried to breathe in, but nothing came. Anu was in her 20s; vibrant, energetic, irrepressibly positive. Surely this was some sort of joke. It wasn’t. What followed was a hell Anu described in several moving, poignant stories, including a beautifully written personal reflection on an interview with
woke up and returned, exhausted, well after they’d gone to sleep. I cursed deadlines, cursed the universe whatever its shape, cursed the random wheel of fate that spins so often without plan or pity. Then I told myself to quit sniveling. This is what you wanted, dude. To be an editor in paradise. Guess what? Every paradise has a dark side. Every beach has its kiawe thorn. Anu got better. She came back. MauiTime sailed on. Happy endings exist.
MauiTime sailed on. I just said that, but I’ll repeat myself. Anthony Pignataro, who had the job before I came on and took it back when I bid farewell, is at the helm, and bless him and buy that man a beer if you see him out on a warm Kihei night. I believe, firmly, it’ll keep sailing. Because of the tenacity of the people it attracts, sure, but also because a tiny rock in the middle of the Pacific peppered with opulence, cultural clashes, layered history, eye-melting natural beauty and an abiding uniqueness needs an irreverent mirror. For two decades, MauiTime has been that mirror. Has the paper been wrong? You bet. Out of touch? Sometimes. Brash? Damn straight. Above all, though, as it says below the masthead, MauiTime is independent. It bows to no master, it gives no quarter and, at its best, it asks none in return. In another year, it’ll be old enough to drink. Bottoms up. Jacob Shafer was Editor of MauiTime from July 2008 to June 2011. ■

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM
Reminiscing... Anu Yagi
T
he Zombie Apocalypse cometh! So I keep a bug-out bag by the door, ready n’ waiting. Sure, weapons and provisions would be the wise thing to pack. But if it’s TEOTWASKI, I’ve got other priorities. No, the first thing I’ll grab is my heavy metal file box. Locked inside are a few precious papers. Most weighty of which is a fat, chronological stack of MauiTime–every issue that I’ve ever had my fingers in making. It’s but a tiny chunk of the 20 illustrious years that MT’s been inkin’. If you think that I’m kidding about the whole Apocalypse thing, just ask my boyfriend. Serious as shit, man–in case of fire, tidal wave or whatever–he knows all about the black box that I keep by our front door. So when the zombies come to eat my brains, I will forgo sanity and hoist that file box like it were a child of my loins. With it, I might bust a few undead skulls in my vain escape. Then run as far as my legs will allow. As I collapse in the derelict sugar fields of the hills beyond my home–just before the biting hordes overtake my flesh–I will cling to that case of papers and the bittersweet experiences they bear witness to. Why? Because those MauiTime memories are among the most human moments I have. Human. It’s a terrific thing be, isn’t it? At best, we get a century or so to express our individual humanity. A hundred years to dance with existence in all our ugly splendor. That’s only 5,200 weeks of dancing, give or take. Not a whole lot, when you really think about it. MY WEEK SPOT Counting weeks is really weird when you work at an “alternative weekly.” Every Thursday, my Cap’n Jacob Shafer used to tape the latest colorful cover to his Editor’s Office wall. One by one those issues lined-up, our only trophy to the work we’d all damned near killed ourselves for (cancers notwithstanding). It was a strange and potent sensation to see each block-of-time fill the space behind the daunting bare yet to happen. And when awesome Boss Anthony Pignataro boomeranged back to the helm, midway through my tenure, it was just-as transformative to see all those covers torn down. Suddenly– where had once been all this labor and love–a blank wall. It was the wild dawn of another MT epoch, after all. And that time, too, unfolded tragically beautiful. Somewhere in the midst of this, my sense of linear space-time was shattered… I can’t even begin to tell you all the woven paths that lead me to MauiTime. (Sheesh, I remember being a Maui tween when the zine first hit newsstands.) Or, how–even all these distant years later– every ounce of my current life is the rippled result of my being at MT.
I think we all somehow face that kind of reckoning, huh? Those funny moments of vertigo when you fully feel how every tick of time–from both the past and future–feeds-back into the present that we’re right-now tasting. There isn’t a single fragment that any of us could piece-out from our lives that isn’t an indelible part of the whole shebang. Even more bizarre was, week after week, looking back at what we’d just published–and feeling like I no longer knew the kid who wrote it. With every deadline night, I died a little inside. And woke up to face the new day wholly changed and shamed by the many ways I’d missed the mark. See, writing is pure folly. The moment you try to quantify anything with words, you’ve already failed. No tome, however fantastic, can ever do justice to the nuance of actuality. How can lines of letters ever paint a complete portrait of people, places and their powerful stories? And yet we have the insatiable human desire to write, read, and engage in passionate discourse? Meanwhile knowing it’s impossible and necessary all at once. Writing has been the hardest thing in the world for me; and I have yet to be proud about any of it. But it’s an honor of the highest order to do so for Maui and for MauiTime. LOVE LETTERS Hereon, I could (and should) ould) wax poetic about my MT teammates. mates. People who love me in spite of myy failures. People who’ve literally kept mee alive more times than I can count. This 20th anniversary issue ue is a fitting place for that. Because eternal nal mahalo is darn due-to them, for all their heir true aloha and talent. (Not to mention n all the hell I put them through). So I’ve penned pages and d pages for each of them. Odes to my dearest Cap’n Shafer. Anthems for genius/former Art Director Justin “Scrappers” Morrison. And for their beautiful wives and brilliant sons.. Forged in fire, we’ve become family for or all time. And awesome Boss Pignataro. ataro. And mad-skills former Art Director tor Chris Skiles. We are deeply forever-friends. r-friends. And my good pal Admin Assistant ssistant Jenn Brown. And diamond-mind mind Proofreader Dina Wilson. And nd the indomitable former Ad Execc Brad Chambers. And gig-giver/writer Kate Bradshaw. And cool contemporary ary writer Ynez Tongson. And–listed last, for impact act and fanfare–The Russos, Tommy and Jen. Mama and Papa of The Paper. Two human hearts, who together er have the moxie to enact their bold dreams. In so doing, they gift our fair island and with an
independent media platform befitting our community’s crazy colors. But I’ve already taken too long. And they already know how much I love them. So right now, what I really need to make sure of is that you know how much you mean to us, Dear Reader. Because every drop of blood/sweat/tears/ink was always and ever for you. For the ways I might get it right–and the many more ways I will write it wrong–I want to thank you for letting me be a part of this Maui story. Thank you for letting me share in this experience of humanity, singularity, folly and splendor. We humans have a lot more stories left to tape to the Cosmic Editor’s wall of passages. To fill it up and tear it down time and time again. To die to ourselves with every deadline. To wake up and know that no matter our human failings, we gave it our all. So when the undead come to eat our brains, we can face them unafraid. May we cling to all the artful foibles that are the hallmark of our species. So we can hoist our collective black box to the heavens and, until our last breaths, proclaim it was a story worth telling.

going strong. Ellman’s a visionary, and his food is superb. It’s trendy, healthy, rich and appeals to residents and visitors. But he isn’t giving away his secrets. Chef Bev Gannon, also a founding Pacific Regional Cuisine Chef, is also very successful. She has two award-winning restaurants, in Hali`imaile and Wailea. There’s no question that consistency is vital. In fact, some of the dishes on the menus of the above restaurants don’t ever change because customers love them so much. Restaurateur Steven Cappelli, the owner of Casanova and Bistro Casanova, says generations of fans in Makawao love their paglia e fieno al funghi, the mush-

eople always ask me what makes a restaurant successful. Is it the food? Is it the service? What’s the elusive combination of elements that creates a winning hit for a restaurant? Unfortunately, there’s no easy answer. I’ve been devouring every tasty morsel made on Maui for the last 43 years and writing about it for the last 20, so I know: there’s no definitive formula for success. We can look at some of the restaurants that have been here for decades. Congratulations to these establishments: Casanova in Makawao, Mama’s Fish House in Kuau, and Hali`imaile General Store, Sansei in
Missing Migrant
Kapalua. They’re the stuff of legend. Then there’s also La Provence, Pacifico’s, Kula Lodge, Lahaina Pizza Company, Pioneer Inn, Sunrise Cafe, The Smokehouse, The Sea House, Gerard’s, Lahaina Coolers, Lahaina Fish Co., Lahaina Grill, Kimo’s, Kobe, Nagasako Okazuya, Longhi’s, Hula Grill, Castaway, Gazebo, China Boat, Mulligan’s, Isana and Dollies–just a few of the places that have been around a long time. Sheiks, Tasty Crust, Archie’s, Tokyo Tei, Matsu, Ichiban, and Sam Sato’s are multi-generational family favorites in Central Maui. There aren’t a lot of similarities when you look at them. We have our favorite dishes at these places, but the menus are all unique. The service is different at each one. Price points are different. There’s no formula that makes them a success. It’s the combination of what they do that makes them. Then there are restaurateurs like Chef Mark Ellman, one of the founding Pacific Regional cuisine chefs. He’s been creating a legacy of restaurants for more than 25 years. His latest trilogy of Mala, Honu and Frida’s is brilliant. Three different cuisines, one spectacular Westside view. What’s more, restaurant concepts that he’s sold, like Maui Tacos and Penne Pasta, are still

room pasta. There would be a riot if he took it off the menu. But it’s not enough to offer dishes that people love–you still have to innovate to appeal. Choice Health Bar may not have been with us for 20 years, but I hope they’re with us 20 years from now. Their high nutrient cuisine, sourced with local organic fruits and veggies and created with love, has set the bar for vegan cuisine and tasty juices and smoothies. Same for Farmacy in Wailuku and Pukalani as well as Fork and Salad. Their create-as-you-go salad concept has been a hit. Chef Jeff Scheer and Mill House are taking the Chef’s Table to a new level at Maui Tropical Plantation. Nylos is Paia’s first fine dining restaurant. Of course, I’ve also seen many restaurant closures over the last two decades. They can be heart-breaking, but explaining them is a tricky situation. There are so many that have been attributed to problems with landlords. Maui Pasta, the local homemade pasta shop in Waikapu that recently closed, supplied gourmet prepared foods to local shops and had a catering, lunch and dinner business. Shortly after the closing, Patty Inman, the owner of the family run restau-
rant, said this on Facebook: “After nearly 6 months of legal battles with our landlords over this very difficult location in Waikapu– over parking, our increased rent, and their intentions to sell the property with us no longer here, we had an electrical fire inside the electrical panel of the building. These factors along with our inability to find a kitchen-ready space to transition to caused a financial strain on our business resulted in us needing to make some very difficult decisions. I have so dearly loved cooking for you, and sharing my love of Italian Food made with Aloha.” Typically, business owners don’t want to talk about permitting issues, Liquor Control fines or other uphill battles that often make up the fine print of doing business of Maui. Then there are the restaurants that don’t even last for six months, and we’re baffled by what happened. Some restaurants stay around for a long time, but close when the next generation of ownership decides they want to do something else. I often hear people say a location is cursed. The Maalaea location that started as a Peter Merriman restaurant and has seen many different iterations, most recently Saltimbocca and Oceanside, still hasn’t found its perfect fit. There’s a long list of restaurants I mourn that are gone– Kitada’s, Maui Brews and Migrant, most notably. But for every place that closes, a few new ones appear on the horizon. Maui is lucky in that we have offer a great destination for visitors, and that’s elevated our restaurants. Big name chefs from Oahu like Merriman, Alan Wong, Sam Choi and Roy Yamaguchi have opened restaurants here. Merriman’s in Kapalua and Monkeypod Kitchen in Wailea are hits. Roy’s new restaurant, Humble Kitchin’ in the Marriott Wailea, is gorgeous. Our culinary scene is top notch. Our very own Chef Sheldon Simeon has twice made the finals of Bravo’s Top Chef. His current restaurant Tin Roof exemplifies his culinary vision of elevated local cuisine and we’re hooked. Maui has its own flavor, and people travel thousands of miles every day to savor it. The island currently boasts more than 580 restaurants, ranging from small mom and pop shops to roving mobile food trucks to fancy fine dining establishments. Whether you use Opentable, spontaneously find a hole in the wall while exploring or make a special trip spurred by the coconut wireless, make sure you relish every experience. If there’s one truth I’ve learned in my career here, it’s that Maui restaurants are diverse and there’s something to discover at every one. Its your decision to eat at one that makes it wosuccesful..

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM
We’re Celebrating 20 Years With A Fun Run And you’re invited! - By Jen Russo
L
ooking up a 20-foot ice slide of a liquor luge is intimidating. This is one of my first memories of MauiTime. At the paper’s first anniversary beach house party–held at the first MauiTime headquarters–there were bands, kegs, bikinis, board shorts, a legendary luge and plenty of teen spirit. After all this was the 1990s. People loved that party, and still mention their experience there. At that time I had no idea my future was going to be bound to this indepen-
dent publication; honestly, I barely knew where I was going to be the next day. Twenty years later the newspaper, the media company and the community has evolved and changed. We’ve certainly matured. So instead of a wild party, we’re celebrating our 20th anniversary with a fun run on Saturday, June 17. Instead of rounding up kegs, we’re designing running jerseys. Instead of a beach house, we’re meeting at the Queen Ka`ahumanu Center. We still want to have fun, so we’re inviting everyone to wear costumes. We know you work hard, so we’re giving fabulous prizes to the best costumes. And we got Marty Dread to perform at Center Stage. We could not have grown up without you, Maui. Thank you for always calling in with what concerns you about our community. Thank you for sending in your anonymous situations of gratitude, gripes and grief for Eh Brah. Thank you for taking the time to pick up and read the paper–it’s an important part of our connection to you. Thank you for sending your keiki to learn; we’ve worked with more than 50 incredible student interns through the years from all of island’s high schools. And thank you for the likes on Facebook, shar-
ing our stories through social media and for growing with us. Independent news media is a challenging business and you’ve been there for us. We all appreciate it. Of course, we didn’t plan our 20th Anniversary fun run without a few terrific partners. HMSA has come forward as our presenting sponsor. The Queen Ka`ahumanu Center is our fun run location. Shaper’s, Westin Maui, Milagros, Paia Fish Market, Nuka, Cool Cat Cafe, Captain Jack’s, Mahina and Paia Inn have been outstanding sponsors for this event. Paia Youth and Cultural Center is the heart and soul of this fun run, and we’re stoked to give this fantastic organization 100 percent of all of registration fees. The run starts at the QKC’s Center Stage, then exits the center, heads around the perimeter to the main parking structure, then goes up. On each level of the parking structure there will be a fitness challenge set to music. When runners return to the ground level, the course will continue around the back side of the Center, then head up and down the second parking structure. Then the course heads across the front of the Center before inside and finally ending at Center Stage. There will be an aid station
and music throughout the course to help motivate you to the finish line. Park on the Ka`ahumanu Avenue side of QKC, in the Koho/Macy’s side of the parking lot. Make sure you can run in your costume, so think hula skirt, tutus, head attire and body paint. Stick around after the race for your goodie bag, race jersey and a chance to win prizes. The winner of the best costume award will get a staycation for four at the Westin Maui Resort in Ka`anapali. Other prizes include movie passes for Maui Film Festival at Wailea, Paia Fish Market Gift Certificates and a custom long skateboard from Shaper’s. MauiTime will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a 5K Run Walk Costume Challenge at the Queen Ka`ahumanu Center this Saturday, June 17. All entry fees from the healthy, family-friendly event will benefit the Paia Youth and Cultural Center. Check-in starts at 7:30am and the run will start at 8am. Registration is $25 advance and $30 the day of the event.

The Horror! The Horror! Tom Cruise should have left ‘The Mummy’ where he found it ★★★★★ Rated PG-13 / 110 Min.
T
om Cruise is the king of summer movies. Just look at Risky Business, Top Gun, Days of Thunder, Far & Away, The Firm, Minority Report, Collateral, War of the Worlds, Tropic Thunder and Mission Impossible 1-5 if you don’t believe me. His image as an action hero movie star has overshadowed what a great, risk-taking actor he can be. I’ve been a lifelong fan and had movie posters for Born on the Fourth of July and A Few Good Men in my bedroom throughout my teen years. It gives me no joy to report that this is, the new Cruise-starring remake of The Mummy is shockingly bad. Cruise and Jake Johnson play an unlikable pair of opportunists who uncover an Egyptian tomb after blasting away at insurgents in Iraq (yes, this is set in modern day and shoe horns the Middle Eastern conflict into the story. It gets worse). Once the mummified, supernatural Ahmanet (played by Sofia Boutella, very good under the circumstances) reawakens, she places a curse on our “heroes� and sucks the life out of victims by kissing them to death. Also, Dr. Henry Jekyll (played by Russell Crowe) has a secret fortress full of monsters he’s collecting, dissecting and resurrecting. At one point, Cruise actually tells the Mummy that he’s just not that into her, literally. Behold, the directorial debut of Alex Kurtzman, the screenwriter responsible for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Cowboys and Aliens and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Imagine a Transformers movie without any Transformers but all
the hammy acting, terrible dialogue, indifferent explosions, hollow CGI and nonsensical plotting. Kurtzman’s rushed action sequences whisk by and barely register. The opening scenes are extremely clumsy, as flashbacks are narrated by Crowe and shown repeatedly, as though the filmmakers feared we couldn’t keep up. Key bits from An American Werewolf in London, Life Force, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Unbreakable are stolen and badly duplicated. Here is Universal Studios’ highly publicized bid at franchise building, their so-called “Dark Universe.� The only universe this seems to take place in is one where Cruise’s career took a horrible wrong turn. Imagine if Cruise had skipped making Rain Man and took over for Steve Guttenberg as the star of the Police Academy sequels. That’s the Tom Cruise of this movie, tossing out awful one-liners, literally throwing himself into an unending train of fight scenes and coming off as alarmingly foolish. Cruise is always game but here, he comes across like one of those musicians on the Titanic who kept playing as the ship sank. You admire his total professionalism but wonder, what the hell are you doing? The last time I saw a mega-movie star in such an amusingly ill-chosen project, it featured Matt Damon sporting Fabio hair and battling
Kama‘aina Special
This is what pharmaceuticals do to you!
giant lizard monsters. This is by far the lousiest movie Cruise has ever been in (and yes, I’ve seen Cocktail). Far worse is Crowe, in an overly self-satisfied turn. Crowe’s Hyde isn’t terrifying, nor is anything else in this scare-free horror film. Johnston apparently studied at the Charlie Day School of Annoying Sidekicks and gives a grating performance. The credits reveal three editors and six screenwriters, a tell-tale sign of too many cooks setting the kitchen aflame. Meanwhile, Brian Tyler’s snooze-inducing score mutes the impact of the big set-pieces. The one great scene is an elaborate plane crash, with its zero-g acrobatics and the sight of a terrified Cruise plummeting to the ground (a sharp contrast from his jet dangle in the most recent Mission: Impossible).
Among the dozens of countless unintentionally funny scenes, my favorite is a chase where Cruise out-swims an army of the undead as they pursue him underwater. I’d like to think the filmmakers knew how funny this is but their intentional comedy bits are cringe-worthy. Yes, the Brendan Fraser 1999-2008 trilogy of the same name are all better Mummy movies, but so is The Monster Squad. In fact, the troubled but enjoyable Benicio Del Toro starring The Wolf Man from 2010 is also far superior example of what this movie should have been. The attempt at making The Mummy a sequel factory movie seems as unlikely as last summer’s botch of a Ghostbusters remake. The best thing about this is that it’d make a hilarious double feature with The Great Wall. Cruise and Damon need to fire their agents. â–

Horoscope
Sign Language GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Geminis hate missing out on anything. You hear music, fireworks, excitement, or chaos down the street, and you’re off like a flash, dropping whatever you were doing without a second thought. You hate it when you hear about something exciting your friends did that you totally missed out on. This pressure to always be there, in the thick of things, means you don’t always take the time for yourself that you need. You can’t bear to say no to an invitation to anything, because what if it turns out to be the most exciting event of the month? Well this week, there’s nothing to miss. It’s time to chill. Say no as often as necessary until you get the “me time” you desperately need, and then some.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Some people think that dreams access some other plane of reality; others assume they simply tap into some internal wisdom not consciously available. Many people use their dreams to ask questions they don’t know the answers to in waking life, and get answers that surprise, inspire, and enlighten them. In my experience Sagittarians–notoriously relentless truth-seekers–are the best at this (I’d love to hear about a time you got an answer to an important question in a dream: sign.language.astrology@gmail.com). The answer to your life’s current most burning question might not be found in your dreams (though I’d look there first), but it will almost certainly be found someplace nearly as unusual.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Equilibrium and stability are possible. They’re just boring, compared with the precipitous ups and downs that normally characterize your existence. However, those chapters of constancy and routine, though less exciting, are chances to get a lot done, because it’s easy to be productive when you’re not coping with emotional crises. You haven’t steered for calmer waters in a while, since you generally (secretly) prefer stormier seas. But as you have an awful lot going on right now, perhaps this is a good time to sail your boat into some tranquil port to make repairs, and simply get shit done?
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) What are you, a Pisces? Suddenly, you’re as giddy and distracted as a virgin on prom night. Perhaps it’s recent developments, or maybe you’re preoccupied with some other big event, so you can’t focus all your attention on the present moment. Snap out of it, Cap. We need you to be in especially sharp form this week, to cut through some of the spin and bullshit that’ll be flying our way. What is it that’s buying up so much of your mental real estate? Is it anything you can do anything about now? No? Then take your thoughts off the market and bring them to bear on the situation on hand, which you can dominate and own–if you actually show up.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) For some Leos in relationships, the other person barely matters. These Lions don’t so much especially love their partners; they love themselves, with that person. I don’t expect all of you to utterly shatter the mirror you always hold up to yourselves, but some Leos really do need to cut it down to a smaller, more manageable size. (You know who you are.) See past your own reflection long enough to notice people in their own lives, not simply for the parts they play in your grand drama. In other words, love people for who they are, not just who they inspire you to be. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Subconscious expectations determine so much of our experience. Children told a scary story about bears, even if they laugh all the way through it, will be quite likely to mistake bushes for beasts on a night walk through the woods afterwards. So often, we see simply what we think we’ll see, whether it’s there or not. This week, work on stripping down some of your filters, and trying to dispassionately perceive things more as they are. If you must delude yourself by seeing things that aren’t there, at least conjure images that will empower you, not frighten or intimidate you. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Every sign evolves, naturally. Leos mellow out and become more modest, generous and loving. Capricorns become more charmingly childlike with every passing year. And Libras learn how to leave things out of balance. While equilibrium is certainly a pleasant state, it isn’t especially conducive to change. It’s also–when you’re the one providing the balance to a situation– quite limiting. You only get to be what the group dynamic, job, or relationship requires, instead of fulfilling your true potential, which is likely much, much more than what’s being asked of you in any given moment. Screw that. Let things be out of whack, if it means you get to be who you really are, rather than what everyone else “needs” you to be. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) I’ve been vegetarian for 27 years (saving 5500 animals and keeping over 43,000lbs. of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere). I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with eating meat (though don’t get me started on the damnable horror of factory farming). That’s nature. Animals eat each other. I’ve simply made a choice that’s right for me, and I wouldn’t think to impose it upon anyone else (though I would encourage everyone to consume free-range animals, for your health, and soul). It’s quite likely your decisions are right for you, and only you. Insisting that someone else follow your exact path is robbing them of the freedom you enjoyed when you chose it in the first place. Don’t do it.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Pirates are huge these days. Like other similar recollections of past eras (renaissance fairs, for example), popular perception of pirates reflects a sort of “best of” mentality. We take (and exaggerate) the best bits, and ignore or leave out the rest. You’re good at this, aren’t you? You romanticize memories so well, you end up pining over someone who actually made you miserable at the time. It’s nice to remember the sweet moments; just don’t forget the shit, too, lest you lose perspective. Spinning a fairy tale out of pirates and knights is one thing. Making one out of your past relationships, though, is nothing short of disaster. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Despite my frequent Pisces-bashing, you should know I adore you. You seem to operate in another, parallel reality which differs from ours in many subtle, incredible ways. This is occasionally confounding or bewildering, but also almost always fascinating and inspiring. That’s a gift. Just by being yourself, you get to encourage us to experience life in ways we might have had trouble imagining before. If you could also be on time or develop some consistent stick-to-it-iveness, that’d be great. But never forget your true strength: you’re weird, and unique, in how you live and see the world. Sharing that truly outweighs all the rest. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You’re like a plant whose leaves are drooping from lack of water. Unfortunately, no one’s noticing, and endless blue skies indicate no rain for days. Luckily, you’re not actually a plant, doomed to wither away in the summer sun. You’ve got a voice, one you’re not usually afraid to use to demand what you want and need. Since when did you start letting yourself get shut down? I know those holding you back insist you ought to not require so much water and sunlight (or love and affection) to live and thrive. But you do. Stop depriving yourself because of those assholes. Speak up and ask for what you need, regardless of what they say, or think.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) How comfortable are you inside your own skin, your own life? Some Taureans still maintain a certain façade to hide their true selves. When people are coming over, for example, you clean the house the way you never would for yourself, hiding the porn and junk food detritus. A lot of that has to do with simply making your guests comfortable, but at least some of it reflects a kind of certainty that people will only like a cleaned-up, more “acceptable” version of you. That’s selling most of your friends short. Let us see the real you. We’ll like it, I promise–and you’ll like us liking it, because that means more fun and intimacy all around.
