gest names in tech financing around the world. Milner has so much money that in 2015, he, Zuckerberg and physicist Stephen Hawking sponsored Breakthrough Initiatives–a growing list of privately funded projects that will search for intelligent life in the universe. And the fact that a small band of Molokai residents prevented him from visiting their mostly rural island (its unemployment rate for October was 5.1 percent, the highest of any island in Hawaii) is just incredible. “We’re a small community,” Walter Ritte told HNN. “Anyone with that kind of money to buy such a cruise ship could come here and take control of the whole island.”

You’d think that a handful of locals blocking the monster yacht belonging to one of the world’s most powerful tech investors from visiting the tiny island of Molokai might make headlines around the world, but I guess not. On the night of Friday, Nov. 24, Hawaii News Now reported that a group of Molokai residents, including longtime activist Walter Ritte, had succeeded in keeping the 195-foot yacht belonging to billionaire Yuri Milner from coming to their island. “It’s unclear whether Milner wanted to dock or moor in Kaunakakai,” Hawaii News Now reported. “But he was quickly turned away after Molokai residents told him he was not welcomed. ‘We’re too small to have something as big as this. Especially if it’s someone who has a lot of power because they have a lot of money,’ said Loretta [Ritte].” Though the Daily Mail blogged about the incident on Nov. 25, no other media outlet seemed to publish the story. This surprised me, given Milner’s enormous power and wealth (The Maui News finally wrote about the incident on Nov. 29, the day we went to press). The founder of the venture firm DST Capital, Milner is a Russian-born oligarch (he lives in a $100 million home in Los Altos Hills, California now) who’s tight with American oligarchs like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. In fact, Milner was an early investor in both Facebook and Twitter, though he sold his stakes in both companies in 2012 and 2013, respectively, after they went public. Milner made tech headlines in the last few weeks after news revelations that tie Milner’s investors to stories of Russian government interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. “Yuri Milner, Russian entrepreneur
and founder of venture firm DST Capital, counts Russian government-linked organizations VTB Bank and Gazprom among his investors,” Wired reported on Nov. 8. “The news surfaced in a joint investigation of off-shore banking documents called the Paradise Papers this week. In Silicon Valley, Milner is best known for sizable early stakes in Facebook and Twitter, both of which have been drawn into investigations around Russian efforts to meddle in the 2016 US election. But venture investors at the Web Summit conference in Lisbon say they don’t think Facebook or Twitter erred by not knowing the ultimate source of their investors’ money. Short of hacking an offshore bank to find DST’s financial records and the beneficial owners of the limited partnership, who could have known?” Milner denies that he was working on behalf of Russia to influence U.S. elections. “There are over three million self-identifying Russians living in America,” Milner said in a Nov. 5 Recode story. “Thousands work in Silicon Valley, including the founders of some of the most iconic American technology companies. Because many Russians have historically been drawn to science and technology, to be suspicious of anyone with connections to both Russia and tech firms is to cast a very broad net.” In any case, Milner is one of the big-
Lahaina resident Randy Draper has spent many, many years fighting for beach access public parking in West Maui. Back in 2016, we wrote about his pressure on the County of Maui to make sure they’re enforcing the public access rules on the big Ka‘anapali resorts. He’s still at it, of course–now he’s part of a new lawsuit
suck up public beach access parking. “We fought to get these public access parking stalls required so local people could also enjoy the beach at Ka‘anapali,” said Draper in a Nov. 22 news release sent out by attorney Lance Collins, who is representing the plaintiffs in the new lawsuit. “These public stalls are not to be used by the hotels and they shouldn’t be available to outsider commercial outfits either.” Draper, the hui Na Papa‘i Wawae ‘Ula‘ula and the West Maui Preservation Association are suing DLNR over the way it currently issues permits to the many tour boats that use Ka‘anapali Beach. “The groups initially became concerned when after careful study, it was determined many customers of these tour operators regular[ly] take up the beach access parking stalls of numerous hotels along Ka‘anapali Beach,” states the news release from Collins. “These public beach access parking stalls were required to be made available to the public to allow access for non-commercial recreational beach uses as a condition of developing or redeveloping their hotels. The tour boat operators externalize the cost of customer parking by

filed against the state Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) by a group of West Maui individuals and groups. Their suit has a number of goals, but chief among them is making sure the state doesn’t allow all the tour boats to

using these stalls and depriving the public of its entitlement to beach access parking. Furthermore, it is nearly impossible for the dozens of boats that receive permits to anchor at Ka‘anapali to all use the single pump-out station at Lahaina small boat harbor, five miles away, meaning that the waste from these boats are discharged directly into the ocean.” When asked for comment, a spokesperson for the Attorney General's office said, “We are reviewing the lawsuit and whether the Hawaii Supreme Court’s recent decision regarding aquarium fish collection applies to this case.” ■ editor@mauitime.com + @apignataro For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

extends beyond Trilogy Excursions. She sits on the board of two Maui organizations–Surfrider Foundation Maui and the Hawaiian Island Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary. This past summer, she took a brief sabbatical from Trilogy to help lead several groups of high-school aged students with Maui’s Ecology Project International; EPI works with The Nature Conservancy, Maui Cultural Lands, The Hawaii Wildlife Fund and Polanui Hiu Community Managed Marine Area to create research opportunities for visiting students. Trilogy continues to focus on smaller changes that when operating six boats simultaneously can make a large impact. They converted one of their boats to biodiesel; they purchased reusable cups and eliminated single use plastics; they transitioned schedules, manifests and ticketing processes to paperless methods; they converted the corporate office to run on solar power; and they began educating guests on alternative sun protection options such as rash guards and started spreading the word about the importance of using reef-safe sunscreens; their Trilogy boats are now outfitted with complimentary reef-safe sunscreen for guests to use. Trilogy Excursions has also given back to the local Maui and Lanai community through its Blue‘Aina Conservation and Education program which hosts monthly events that facilitate reef cleanups and land-based projects to protect Maui and Lana‘i’s coral reef systems. ■ editor@mauitime.com For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

Trilogy’s Conservation and Education Director and First Mate, Magen Schifiliti, took home Tour Guide of the Year honors. The award recipients were honored at the annual Awards Luncheon on Tuesday, Nov. 1 at the Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel.

This holiday season, the Maui Ocean Center will be a collection center for a toy drive that benefits Maui’s at-risk youth. The Ocean Center is teaming with Maui Pride, Maui United Way, Friends of the Children’s Justice Center and numerous other nonprofits to help make Christmas merrier for Maui kids of all ages. “We are very grateful for the hard work and dedication demonstrated year after year by Maui’s nonprofit community,” said Elyse Ditzel, Maui Ocean Center’s Director of Marketing, “Every toy donated will be an opportunity to brighten a child’s holiday. We are honored to partner with these organizations and excited to be a part of this annual program.” Maui Pride will wrap up the charitable campaign with a Holiday Toy Drive Rainbow Dine-Out featuring live music by The Deborah Vial Band; the DineOut is set for Dec. 5 at the aquarium’s Seascape Restaurant. “This is a great opportunity to support the Pride community while paying it forward to the keiki in our community,” said a Pride spokesperson. The Ocean Center placed donation bins at the park entrance on Nov. 19 and they will remain through Dec. 5; last year, the toy drive presented gifts to more than 2,000 children. The collection bins are accessible from 9am4pm. Donations of unopened, new gifts will be accepted including toys, games, sports gear, school supplies, and items appropriate for children and teenagers. Organizers would like to remind the public that teens are often overlooked
during toy drives; gifts for all ages are encouraged. “My favorite gifts for toy drives are arts and crafts sets,” said a Pride spokesperson. “They are suitable for all genders and they provide a creative outlet that I think is important for kids in need.” Pride, United Way and Friends will distribute the gifts through a number of nonprofits to help reach a maximum number of children who are victims of abuse, neglect, economic hardship and other conditions. There is no cost to register for the dinner celebration, but attendees are asked to bring an unwrapped gift to donate. The Dine-Out begins at 6:30 pm; reservations are available online at Mauipride.org. For more information, call 808-270-7000 or email info@ mauioceancenter.com.
certification process that the HEA provides. These businesses exemplify how sustainable ecotourism can be put into practice here in Hawaii. Trilogy Excursions is Maui’s oldest sailing catamaran tour company and has been setting the standard for sustainable tourism practices since its inception in 1973. From being the first boat company to not dump bathroom waste in the water to establishing the day-use mooring systems instead of dropping anchors that destroy vulnerable coral reefs, the owners have had the wisdom and vision to incorporate sustainability into Trilogy tours and inspire personal conviction to be stewards of the environment. The HEA Tour Guide of the Year, Schifiliti, was honored for being the guide on Maui that best embodies the core assets of quality ecotourism: effective interpretation, conservation of natural resources and authentic cultural experiences. Conservation and Education Director and First Mate Schifiliti exemplifies these qualities through her multifaceted position with Trilogy. Her credentials include a Master’s of Marine Biology from the University of Western Australia. She is in charge of organizing and operating the Trilogy Blue‘Aina Conservation and Education Program; her research contributed to Trilogy’s decision to outfit its boats with reef safe sunscreen; she is responsible to develop and teach Naturalist Curriculum lesson plans that all Trilogy crew are required to attend; and as a First Mate aboard Trilogy Vessels, Schifiliti has the opportunity to share her breadth of knowledge with guests and coworkers first hand.

EWWWW!
Members of the Spann family of Comanche County, Oklahoma, keep running afoul of that state’s incest law, with the latest dustup over the marriage of 26-year-old Misty Spann and her 43-year-old mother, Patricia, in March 2016. The two had been separated after Patricia lost custody of her young kids, but when they resumed contact a few years ago, Patricia told investigators, “they hit it off.” KFOR reported that Patricia also married one of her sons in 2008, but two years later that marriage was annulled. Another son reported to KSWO-TV that Patricia tried to start an inappropriate relationship with him, but he shut her down. In early November, Misty received a 10-year deferred sentence and will serve two years’ probation. Her mother/exwife (their union was annulled in October) will be sentenced in January.
Sean A. Sykes Jr., 24, of Kansas City, Missouri, has discovered one way to avoid the justice system. Sykes was detained in a Sept. 1 traffic stop, but he denied any knowledge of the drugs and handguns found in the car, The Kansas City Star reported. As he was being questioned at the police station, the detective wrote in his report, Sykes was asked his address. In response, he “leaned to one side of his chair and released a loud fart before answering with the address. Mr. Sykes continued to be flatulent and I ended the interview,” the detective wrote. Charges were not filed at that time, but Sykes was pulled over again on Nov. 5 and was in possession of marijuana, crack cocaine and a stolen pistol. He was in custody awaiting a bond hearing.

Since Twitter announced that it would allow 280-character messages rather than its original 140, a whole new world has opened up for the game-addicted among us. Gizmodo reports that tweeters are using the expanded tweetspace to play board games such as chess, Connect Four, Shogi and Go. Games are even being customized; one tweet enthuses about “Marine biology twitter-chess. With a new marine biology fact every time a piece is moved, and a scientifically accurate death scene when a piece is taken.” Uh, ok.
SWEET! Becky Reilly of Omaha, Nebraska, was forced to call in a roofing company after discovering thousands of honeybees had invaded her home’s attic, producing so much honey that it was dripping down the side of the house. “We heard a loud and rhythmic buzzing, and it was somewhat terrifying because we knew what it meant,” Reilly told KETV. Jason Starkey of Takoda Green Roofing said he removed about 40 pounds of honey on Oct. 26 before moving the bees and tackling the damage, which he called “horrible.” Local beekeeper John Gebuhr moved the bees to his garage, but he is pessimistic about their survival through the winter. But Reilly’s friends and neighbors are thrilled: They’re getting honey for Christmas!
LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS A loss prevention officer at a Vero Beach, Florida, Walmart happened to catch 25-yearold Cheyenne Amber West and another woman as they carried out some complicated maneuvers in the electronics aisle on Nov. 6. The officer told the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office that West and her friend chose a computer, video game controllers and other items worth a total of almost $2,000, then covered the bar codes with stickers taken from less-expensive clearance items. They then moved to the self-checkout lane, where their loot totaled just $3.70. “I am just trying to get gifts for my son that I cannot afford,” West told officers. “The computer is for my husband. Since he just got me a Coach purse, I figured he deserved something nice as well.” Treasure Coast Newspapers reports that West was charged with felony grand theft and felony shoplifting and was released on $3,000 bail. The other woman was not charged.
VOTING WOES Douglas Aaron Shuttlesworth, 34, was simply trying to exercise his civic duty when he reported to an elementary school in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to vote–on Monday, Nov. 6, the day before Election Day. Susquehanna Township police arrested Shuttlesworth for DUI after he appeared at the school intoxicated and admitted he had driven there to vote. The Associated Press reported that Shuttlesworth’s mother elucidated: Her son thought it was Tuesday.

An Indonesian museum, De Mata Trick Eye Museum in Yogyakarta, has been forced to remove an exhibit that encouraged visitors to take a selfie with a waxwork of Adolf Hitler. The figure, which stood in front of a giant image of the entrance to Auschwitz concentration camp, had been on display since 2014, and the museum said it was one of the most popular displays. Metro News reported that the museum originally defended the exhibit as “fun,” but when the Simon Wiesenthal Centre in Los Angeles demanded its removal, the museum complied, taking it down on Nov. 10.
Joseph Vaglica, 40, of Edgewater, Florida, surprised a woman at her New Smyrna Beach home on Nov. 7 when, naked, he burst in through the garage door and ran through her kitchen “acting irrationally.” The homeowner dashed next door to her stepson’s house and called 911, reported the Daytona Beach News-Journal. Meanwhile, Vaglica helped himself to some of the woman’s clothes, then ran outside and started banging on the windows at the stepson’s home. When New Smyrna Beach police officers arrived, Vaglica was rolling around in the grass. Police said he was intoxicated; he was later charged with burglary with assault. ■

You said that since I was on a stand up board I was going to hurt someone. When I didn’t obey you, you became verbally abusive and cursed me out. When I pointed out to you that you were also on a stand up board, you said, “I’ll surf wherever the f--k I want!” I had no idea you’re the only person who gets that privilege. Since when is a 64-year-old woman riding a 6’10” SUP board a threat to anyone? But you know what was worse than listening to your obscenities? It was that no one in the lineup said anything to you, including two surfers I not only knew, but thought were my friends. ■

WHAT HAPPENED TO ACCOUNTABILITY?
An open letter to the Maui County Council on MPD’s new body cameras. By Anthony Pignataro
D
on’t we live in momentous, wondrous times? Futuristic technology seems everywhere right now. Earthorbiting satellites relay phone, television and internet transmissions, as well as tell you exactly where you’re standing. Pollution-free electric cars and trucks are now on our roads, while automakers are pushing the bounds of autonomous vehicles. Agile robots can now run, jump and even backflip. For just a few hundred dollars, a person can carry a personal computer connected to the internet in his or her pocket. And a police officer can now carry out patrol duties while a small camera mounted on the front of his or her uniform silently records citizen interactions. It’s this last bit of technological innovation that concerns me–or rather, it’s the Council’s lack of concern over the cameras that concerns me. I don’t know if you realize this–and I’ve found no evidence that the Council does–but the Maui Police Department’s issuing of body-worn cameras to its patrol officers represents a revolution in law enforcement–in terms of both documenting crime and preventing police abuse. When first mentioned a few years ago, body cameras seemed to hold great promise for police accountability. For the first time, there would be an independent record kept of every time cops used deadly force, or just any force, on suspects. Many civil rights advocates saw the body
10 NOVEMBER 30, 2017
camera as a possible tool for citizens to help bring bad cops to justice. Now, as police departments across the country rush to attach cameras to their officers’ uniforms–and lawmakers like U.S. Senator Brian Schatz sponsor legislation to make that even easier–it’s clear that the dream of body cameras helping bring about citizen justice is just that–a dream. Police departments, including the one here in Maui County, are crafting body camera policies that help cops, but do nothing to strengthen accountability measures for citizens. That’s because over the last three years, while the MPD was studying various cameras and technologies, there’s been virtually no public debate over the question of whether the department should get body cameras–and if they do, how they should use them. And now, just like that, a hundred or so cops are today patrolling Maui with cameras clipped to their uniforms. This is how it went down when the MPD decided it needed an armored truck–the Bearcat. And it’s what happened when the department asked for a tracked robot that can also carry explosives or even a gun. In both instances, the Council asked few questions about why exactly the MPD needed this kind of hardware, and what it would mean for the future of Maui County. Way back in early 2016, during his annual State of the County Address, Mayor Alan Arakawa painted the MPD’s body camera program as a great advancement for citizens and cops alike. “Our Maui Police Department continues to meet higher standards,” Arakawa said on Mar. 14, 2016. “By the end of the year MPD will be implementing body cameras for about 125 of its patrol officers. Although some see these cameras as a way to monitor the behavior of our officers, they are also a tool for law enforcement. Used correctly, we hope that the footage from these cameras can be used as evidence in court. Mahalo to Chief Tivo [Faaumu] for initiating this important community policing tool.” Arakawa turned out to be optimistic on the timing–the MPD only began implementing its body-
camera program in September 2017. He was also, I suspect, entirely too optimistic about the cameras’ value for the community at large. How police departments around the nation are using these cameras is becoming a great disappointment right now for those who advocate for greater protections for civil liberties.Yet as I searched through the online archives of the minutes of meetings of the County Council and its various committees in the last year, I found virtually no mention of the MPD’s body camera program. In fact, I found exactly one mention of the cameras in the minutes of the Maui County Council Budget & Finance Committee (which, during budget time, is where top MPD brass usually describe their latest programs and acquisitions). The camera program was mentioned in passing at the Jan. 31, 2017 hearing, during testimony by MPD Lt. Scott Migita on a drone the MPD wanted. Councilmember Kelly King asked Migita how the money for the drone would come out of the budget. Here’s the exchange:
ping police officers with body cameras was negated when the MPD decided to give its officers the discretion to turn the camera on and off. I also reported a nauseatingly long list of incidences over the past few years of camera-equipped cops across the country who, for whatever reason, suddenly didn’t have a functioning camera when it came time for them to use deadly force (or even just any force). Now a new report from The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights–a coalition of more than 200 organizations across the country–states that most law enforcement agencies that are now using body cameras are doing so with policies that are completely incompatible with public accountability.
footage before they write incident reports, but does not allow citizens filing complaints to review any relevant body camera footage. Okamoto also said the MPD will store all body camera footage–including that which isn’t currently relevant to any investigation–for five years. Okamoto also said the MPD currently does not have a policy–either for or against– the use of facial recognition technology to identify individuals who appear in all this new body camera footage. At least Maui PD says its body camera policy is available to the general public, though Okamoto added that anyone who wants to look at it must first file a written public records request under the state’s Uniform Information Practices Act–a needless requirement given how easy it would be to simply post the policy on the MPD website.
MR. MIGITA: Right. So as far as public input, it’s going to fall along the line of the body camera project. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the body camera project. COUNCILMEMBER KING: I’m not familiar with it.
• Do you support the use of body-worn cameras by Maui Police Officers (Yes; No; or Unsure)? • Do you feel safer knowing the police are wearing body-worn cameras (Yes; No; or Unsure)? Given the fact that there’s been little to no public debate on the efficacy and dangers of police body cameras, it’s extremely difficult for Maui residents to answer the above questions with any degree of informed confidence. Back in October, I reported that much of the “accountability” rationale for equip-

And that was it. Though the minutes clearly show that King told Migita she was not familiar with the body camera program, Migita just glanced over it and returned to the subject of financing the drone. If the Council or its committees ever took up body cameras again, I couldn’t find it in the minutes (I also recently asked a Council staffer if the Council had ever discussed the body camera project in detail, and the staffer couldn’t think of any instance). The Maui Police Commission, which in theory provides direct oversight of the MPD, doesn’t seem to be any better. In their minutes for 2017, I could find just one mention of the the MPD’s body camera program, which came in the July 19 meeting. There, Deputy Chief Dean Rickard briefed the panel on the program. He told them the department had gotten 125 cameras from Axion and was currently installing the required hardware in the Wailuku, Lahaina and Kihei districts. He said the department’s plan was to have the cameras “on the road” by Sept. 1. This is a huge problem, especially since the MPD itself is now–after going ahead with the program–asking citizens for their thoughts on body cameras. The department’s new Citizen Survey, released on Nov. 21, includes two questions on body cameras:
MPD Sgt. Joy Medeiros and camera
“As more police departments utilize body-worn cameras, they must not be taken as the last word for police accountability,” said Vanita Gupta, president and CEO of The Leadership Conference in a Nov. 14 news release. “Our scorecard shows that many police departments are failing to adopt adequate safeguards for ensuring that constitutional rights are protected, and our report shows that unrestricted footage review places civil rights and liberties at risk and undermines the goals of transparency and accountability. Without carefully crafted policy safeguards in place, there is a real risk that body-worn cameras could be used in ways that threaten civil and constitutional rights and intensify the disproportionate surveillance of communities of color.” Though Maui PD isn’t included in this report, its policies are every bit as problematic. According to Lt. Gregg Okamoto, the MPD’s Public Information Officer, the department does allow for officers to review body camera
All of this is troubling–especially the part about allowing cops to look at their camera footage before they write their incident reports. “Without carefully crafted policy safeguards in place, there is a real risk that body-worn cameras could be used in ways that threaten civil and constitutional rights and intensify the disproportionate surveillance of communities of color,” states the Leadership Conference’s new report, which details how most of the 75 departments it surveyed do exactly what the MPD is doing. “Today, most major police departments that use body-worn cameras allow officers unrestricted footage review. Officers may review body-worn camera footage anytime they wish, including before and during the process of writing their initial incident reports. Even in cases where officers’ actions are most closely scrutinized, including after a controversial use-of-force incident, officers are often permitted to review footage before giving investigators an initial interview.”
The Leadership Conference report goes to great lengths to show why allowing police officers time to review body camera footage before they write their reports is bad for the general public. It’s worth quoting at length. “Because watching body-worn camera footage can alter an officer’s memory of an event, doing so will likely taint what officers write in their reports,” states the Leadership Conference report. “This practice will make it more difficult for investigators, internal affairs, and courts to accurately assess what occurred and whether an officer’s actions were reasonable given what he or she perceived at the time. Unrestricted review policies undermine longstanding principles of procedural justice, violate the law enforcement community’s best practices for preserving eyewitness evidence, and threaten to erode community trust. These policies are antithetical to the primary purpose of bodyworn cameras: to enhance police transparency and accountability. “Unrestricted footage review creates an illusion of accuracy because it produces a false impression about how much officers actually remember about an incident,” the report continues. “It makes officers’ memories appear to be more accurate, and thus more credible, than the memories of other eyewitnesses–which can distort how an independent factfinder, like a judge or a jury, might understand how an incident truly unfolded. In the worst cases, because of the inherent limits of body-worn cameras, unrestricted footage review allows officers to square their version of events to the footage, and potentially create false beliefs about what actually happened.” According to The Leadership Conference, many police departments around the nation are adopting similar policies. Their survey noted that just four of the 75 departments they surveyed “expressly allow people who are filing police misconduct complaints to view all relevant footage.” The Conference survey discovered that only seven of the 75 departments they looked at “place any limits on the use of facial recognition together with their camera systems.” Just 11 of the 75 departments “delete unneeded footage within six months of recording.” And, most disturbing, “No department reviewed requires its officers to always write incident reports before watching relevant footage.” Not a single department. In fact, the Conference found that just “13 out of 75 departments place any restrictions on officer review of footage, primarily after serious use-of-force incidents.” Just because most cities and municipalities around the country are allowing their law enforcement agencies to do this, that doesn’t mean Maui County should. Taxpayers in Maui County provide the money for the Maui PD, and its cameras. Considering that their faces will inevitably end up recorded on these cameras, shouldn’t their representatives in government have some say in how these are used?

supermarket item for many, Kapsalis believes their Greek yogurt is the best because of the simple, properly made ingredients. The secret to the yogurt is the imported honey. After tasting a spoonful of it, I was sold. Most of the imported ingredients such as the olive oils and honey can also be purchased to take home. “As soon as you see ‘processed’ on the label, you know they put the worst stuff in it,” said Kapsalis. “Here at the Greek Oven, we take pride in the ingredients.” The Greek Oven also offers a large array of sandwiches, paninis and wraps. There’s

The kitchen staff makes multiple trays everyday to keep up with demand. It has layered beef, eggplant and potatoes, all covered in a savory béchamel sauce and then baked in the oven. It’s filling and delicious. Kapsalis and his team offer dinner service on Friday and Saturday nights. The dinner plates are still based on classic Greek recipes, but offered in a more traditional sit-down style, with a server doing

The Greek Oven sources everything they can from local farmers. They also make their own bread and beef patties in house. Their tzatziki sauce is house-made, but they import olive oil from Greece. Kapsalis’ mother, in Greece, also sends them fresh oregano for their recipes. Kapsalis frequently walks through the restaurant, asking the customers how they’re enjoying their meals.

“Making great food is really easy,” said Adonis. “You just need two things: the best ingredients, and the good recipes.” Born in Greece, Kapsalis grew up with family recipes and the European style of cooking. “Everybody cooks, food is a very high priority–it’s number one,” he said. Unlike the U.S., where food is often used to fulfill a hunger, the Greeks take their cooking very seriously. “We strongly believe that the secret to making good, healthy food starts with the basics,” he said.

to be a ferociously dedicated crowd of kids. It was almost like a reaction to all the reggae being played on Maui. As the ball got rolling, we began working with the late Gungi Paterson. During his time, he was a very influential man in the sphere of live sound.” Paterson toured with Judas Priest for roughly eight tours and worked with Deep Purple as well as Black Sabbath doing sound engineering. In his time off from touring, he lived in Kihei, which is where he first caught wind of Anesthesia.

Gone from the stage for two and a half years, they’ll soon return with a Dec. 2 show at Mulligan’s on the Blue.

It was a tough crowd–winning them over was one of our crowning achievements, for sure.” Since then, the band has performed occasionally, working on their music whenever possible. A few of the band members have since focused on raising kids, but now with the children mostly grown, the band is making a comeback, dedicating their time to playing together and getting their second album finished. “It’s a great opportunity for us to reconnect and recharge our batteries,” Katchadourian said. “We’ve never been at a better point in our lives to collectively do this, and we’re doing it on our own terms.”

'Coco' The new Disney/Pixar fillm will make you cry, but that’s a good thing ★★★★★ Rated PG / 109 Min.

PHOTO COURTESY IMDB
he title character of Coco, the new Disney/Pixar CGI masterpiece, is the great-grandmother of Miguel, a young boy and the main protagonist. Initially, it seems odd that the movie would be named after Miguel’s oldest living relative, who is depicted mostly sitting, barely moving and only somewhat aware of what’s going on around her. As the film progresses, we learn about the profound bond between Miguel and Coco, which is what makes this unexpected triumph so endearing. The Mexico-set tale centers on Miguel (voiced by 12-year-old Anthony Gonzalez), raised by parents who forbid him to play music. An involving back story provides hints as to why Miguel’s desire is to be a great guitarist, like the late, great Ernesto de la Cruz (voiced by a fantastic Benjamin Bratt), is blocked by his overly attentive guardians. As emotions reach a boiling point in Miguel’s home, he flees with Ernesto’s guitar and finds himself in the Land of the Dead, a spirit domain that exists on the other side of our known world, while the Day of the Dead takes place. Miguel seeks out Ernesto and befriends Hector (voiced by an excellent Gael Garcia Bernal), whose union with Miguel reveals multiple surprises. A glimpse at the trailer led me to believe that Pixar was making an animated feature awfully similar to the gone and forgotten 2014 The Book of Life, which also took place in a Day of the Dead-inspired spirit world with talking skeleton characters. While Coco has a structure out of The Wizard of
Killer venue!
Oz, the formula from last year’s triumphant Moana is also firmly intact: the young lead wants to go against family tradition but is held back by a strong-willed authority (here, Miguel’s grandmother is a stand-in for Moana’s father). On the other hand, a different family member (I won’t reveal who but the equivalent of Moana’s grandmother) encourages Miguel to seek the truth and pursue his dreams. The most important comparison Coco shares with Moana is how it celebrates the culture it depicts, avoiding stereotypes while weaving mysticism and folklore into a tale of personal discovery. The greatest strength of Coco is its depiction of how music connects us to our past and those gone but never forgotten. For all the rainbow-colored beauty on display and richly designed characters
and settings on display, it’s the emotional climax of the film, between Miguel and Coco, that will likely seal the film’s legacy; this remarkable, quiet but emotionally charged sequence is among the most touching in Pixar’s history. I can’t remember the last time I heard a sold-out movie house of audiences openly weeping. The three lead performances are excellent and bring great heart and many layers to their characters. This is one of the few rare, big budget studio films with a mostly Latino cast, including Edward James Olmos and Cheech Marin (though the end credits informed me that Pixar staple John Ratzenberger is also in there somewhere). Sometimes the story drags its feet getting from one major incident to another. Coco also could have used a little more
humor and a lot more songs. Considering how marvelous the original tunes are, this should have been a full-on musical. Still, as I left the theater rubbing away tears, the things about the film I didn’t like seem fairly minor. Despite the Day of the Dead setting and the skeletal appearance of many characters, there’s a lot of heart and warmth in this one. Coco is preceded by Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, a touching, calculated and (at 21-minutes) surprisingly long animated musical feature. If nothing else, it’s a sobering reminder to parents that, no matter how sick you are of Frozen, be warned: Frozen 2 is on its way, ready to take over the world and bludgeon us with more show tunes that we’ll be listening to for the next decade. ■

Horoscope
Sign Language SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
You’ve got so many people on your side. Why can’t you see it? Your tendency to focus on your few detractors rather than your numerous supporters is not only mentally destructive self-sabotage, it’s also mean to those who love you. They’re starting to feel like cheerleaders on the sidelines, screaming their adoration and support, and their favorite team responds by giving them the finger. This is a home game, my dear, and almost everyone who showed up is rooting for you to win. Stop paying attention to the little knot of die-hards who will never be on your side, and give it those who deserve it: the people who know and love you. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
There are a million reasons to keep trying, not least of which is that you’re a Capricorn, renowned for persistence and determination. That’s why I’m shocked that you’re considering giving up, after tripping over a tiny stumbling block. I’ve seen you leap tall buildings! Don’t tell me you’ve had enough, lest I lose all faith in your fortitude and tenacity. Buck up, soldier. What’s happened to you? You’re able to take a little criticism and rejection, and learn from it, believe it or not. Pull that famous thick skin out of the closet, wrap it around yourself, and charge back into the fray. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Sleep on it. I know you, like all Aquarians, pair a general open-mindedness with a deep stubbornness. It’s the latter that’s making you flat-out reject the advice of your friends. Please consider the possibility–however unlikely–that they might be right, and sleep on it. If you wake up still feeling strongly about it, then by all means continue with your plan. They could be wrong, after all, or lack your vision. And if they’re right–well, you’ll just have to learn your lesson the hard way, which isn’t so bad. At least that way you won’t soon forget it. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Some people have simple fears. They’re scared of dogs, or flying in planes, or of the number thirteen. Those kinds of fears are easy to confront and practice surmounting. Your fears, though, are generally more complex and subtle, and there’s no simple way to get over them. The best you can probably do is learn to live with them, or in spite of them. The first step, though, is figuring out–as much as possible–just what they are. This week you have a good chance of renegotiating terms with your fears. You may not be able to forge a peace, exactly, but some of kind of truce is certainly possible. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
I’m simultaneously pessimistic and optimistic enough to imagine aliens coming upon the ruins of our civilization someday, and using it to teach their children the perils of selfishness and shortsightedness. “They tried to save themselves,” they’d say, “but it was too little, too late.” The same, I’m afraid, might be said of you in a few weeks, though the stakes aren’t as high as the life or death of civilization. Your heart’s in the right place, and I won’t say you’re not trying. But might I suggest that you–and all of humankind–perhaps consider trying a lot harder, a lot sooner? TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
You may feel grievously overlooked, but you’ve actually been noticed. It’s just taking time for the good word to trickle back to you. Don’t screw this up by demanding recognition that’s already coming, before it actually gets to you; it’ll be retracted straight away, and you’ll be left looking the idiot. There’s nothing you can do but be patient, or risk screwing it all up. It may take much longer than you’d like, but eventually your hard work and talents will get the praise they deserve. Until then, keep quietly and modestly showing them off.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
I know one Gemini whose catchphrase is, “Who are we talking about?” Because of the way they pounce on each tidbit of juicy gossip as if it’s the first morsel of food they’ve seen in months, people tend to clam up around them, forcing them to wring out details with the tenacity of a pit bull worrying a bit of flesh off a bone. Dial down the desperation and relax, whatever it is you’re hunting. You might miss a chance or two because you’re not clutching at it desperately, but I’m sure you’ll pick up many more as a result, without even trying. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Sometimes your unpleasant dreams are simply the detritus of your days being shat out; it’s a psychic digestive process. Occasionally, however, they’re a message from the you that lives below conscious thought. That message might be obvious, like, “You’re anxious about that upcoming change,” or it might be something more subtle that’s harder to figure out. It’s worth getting to the bottom of it this week, because it’s probably something important, and not necessarily bad; knowing what’s going on beneath the surface of your thoughts could not only help you avoid imminent trouble, but it could also enable imminent success. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
I know, it’s depressing that the sun has set before you even get out of work, but don’t let it get you down. A gloomy Leo is a crime against humanity, albeit just a misdemeanor. We need the sun, too, and when that’s not around much, you’re the next best thing. Shine, Leo. It’s your astrological duty to the rest of us who put up with your shit the rest of the year and forgive you your flaws. Now we need you to glow more than ever. This week, concentrate on finding a source of psychic fuel that will enable you to do just that. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
One thing I like you about you is your “what you see is what you get” nature. You don’t have time to go around pretending to be something you’re not, or that you’re cooler than you are. You’ve got stuff to do. Sure, there are many little quirks or idiosyncrasies (some might call then neuroses) that only become clear once someone knows you very well, but there are generally no big surprises; you’re essentially the same person ten years on that you were the day we met you. This information might be enormously comforting to someone you know; please be sure they get it. Since simply telling them yourself might lack credibility, find a messenger to subtly do it for you.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
“Hey loser, zip it up. We don’t want to see your junk!” That’s the way a Scorpio might point out that someone’s fly is open. You Libras, on the other hand, proudly proclaim that you’re masters of tact, and wouldn’t dream of openly pointing out someone’s screw-ups in front of everyone. Unfortunately, you sometimes also balk at the kinder option of taking them aside and giving them a helpful bit of advice. Instead you choose to say nothing at all. That, in the end, is more malicious and dirty than a Scorpio’s tactless comments. Speak up, Libra, or someone else will–or, worse yet, no one will. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
You call people on their shit. I personally find this to be one of your more endearing qualities but I’m generally tough enough to take it and appreciate it. Some more thin-skinned folks, however, might consider you brutal and uncompromising (and even hypocritical) when you tell them to look at their own shortcomings or blind spots. Have a little sympathy for these softies this week. The holidays are coming up, after all, and if the sad sacks can’t catch a break then, when can they? In fact, I’d suggest using any way you can to show the softer, gentler side of you this week (even if it means biting your tongue until it bleeds).
