GETTING TO KNOW SENATOR MAZIE HIRONO FULL VIDEO INTERVIEW AT MAUITIME.COM/WALKSTORY

ment that it is, despite Mitch McConnell who held off to the last possible moment to keep government running until the end of the fiscal year. We should never use the shutdown as a bargaining chip and the president used 800,000 federal employees as hostages for his vanity wall. That’s what it is: his vanity wall. Of course we all care about border security, so there are many other ways to effect border security without erecting some kind of old fashioned huge wall that would cost billions and billions of dollars. Not to mention, by the way, if we’re talking about a thousand miles of wall, much of that area is in private hands. The government would have to engage in very long eminent domain proceedings to get their hands on the land that’s owned by ranchers in Texas. So many issues like that keep happening with this president, sad to say.
U.S. Senator Mazie Hirono
W
hen we first started our Walk Story series of candidate interviews, U.S. Senator Mazie Hirono (D-Hawai‘i) was high on our list of prospective interviewees. While she wasn’t facing any hotly contested races (the senator won her 2018 reelection with nearly 70 percent of the vote), Hirono has become a topic of national interest for her straightforward willingness to call “bullshit” and challenge President Trump (and his nominees) on issues – qualities that we at MauiTime were eager to talk about. National events kept us from meeting last year, but when the senator and her team touched down on Maui last week, we were sure to make time to cruise with her down Market Street. Born in Japan and the first Asian-American woman to serve in the U.S. Senate, Hirono speaks for many in Hawai‘i facing national stances on issues like the environment and immigration that don’t square with local values. The fanfare over her appearance in Wailuku Town made that much clear: To many, she’s treasured for bringing Hawai‘i spirit to D.C. and being unrelenting in her criticism. As we stood at the corner of Main and Market Street, passers-by shouted their support out of car windows, and it seemed like every 10 feet the senator was stopped by someone thanking her for her service. While we didn’t get to talk about all the issues we would have liked to during our short walk (believe me, there are many), what did emerge was an insightful conversation on President Trump, the national emergency, and what to tell our children during these confusing times. Here are some highlights. I especially want to thank you for making it, because we are in our first week of a new national emergency. What are your thoughts about that? It’s only an emergency in the president’s
mind. He created this chaos and now Hawai‘i is one of the states that has joined a lawsuit to challenge the president’s use of the National Emergency Act for this purpose. An emergency should be open and obvious – like maybe 9/11 and things like that – but this is an emergency that is not even an emergency. So I thank the court challenge, but this is what happens when the president makes these kinds of decisions that are purely political. When he says, “I don’t really have to do this,” I think that totally cuts against the emergency part of national emergency, but it then also results in chaos in Hawai‘i, California, and other states who use their resources to challenge this abusive exercise of powers. That’s taxpayers’ money going for a challenge that shouldn’t even happen. Sadly, with this president, he does not care about the consequences of his decisions – note the totally unnecessary shutdown, the longest in history. The country lost – in addition to the harm that cost 800,000 federal workers and contractors, it cost our economy $11 billion, three billion of which will never be recovered – and he was prepared to do it again! But finally Congress, especially the Senate, acted like the separate branch of govern-
What kind of action are you and your colleagues in Congress planning to take? One of the first things that’s going to happen is the house will pass – I’m sure they will pass because the House majority are now Democrats – a joint resolution to terminate the national emergency. This is a resolution that under the law has to be brought to the floor of the Senate, and we shall see whether the Republicans in the Senate will agree with us that this is not a national emergency. [Note: On Feb. 26, the House passed the resolution. It now heads to the Senate.] There are a lot of concerns about the president – any president – using these powers to deem something a national emergency whenever they feel like it. So there are Republicans who are concerned about the next president being a Democrat who might deem climate change a national emergency. There are concerns on both sides but the Republicans are still pretty much behind the president. I’m ready for them to wake up from whatever dream they’re in You’ve been a vocal critic of the president and you made headlines last year during the [now Supreme Court Justice] Brett Kavanaugh hearings–
COCONUT POLL: 88% - Yes, it’s worsening
12% - No, it’s not worse
Last week we talked about divisive moments during the County Council’s confirmation of department directors. We asked readers on Facebook if they think Maui’s political division is worsening. 88% of you voted “Yes, it’s worsening” This week we ask: Do you think the situation at the Southern Border is really a national emergency?
You know what prompted that – and it’s not as though I script any of this – but there was a reporter who asked whether the women on the Judiciary Committee have some kind of a special responsibility on the issues like sexual harassment and sexual assault. I said it’s not just the women, ‘cause who’s doing all this stuff mostly? It’s the men. So that’s why I said, men, “just shut up and step up.” It spoke to me as a father. I have children and I struggle with what I tell my kids about the Age of Trump. I don’t know how to explain this phenomenon, the sexual harassment, the things that he says... What do you think we should be telling our children? I think we have to be telling our children that the president is not anybody to emulate in terms of how divisive he is and what he talks about. I think I’m probably the first senator to say publicly on national TV that he lies every single day. That’s so unusual. It gives me no comfort to call the president a liar and a misogynist and an admitted sexual predator. It gives me no pleasure to characterize the president that way but he’s done nothing to change my mind. As one father said to me, “How do I tell my son that lying is not good?” I think we have to distinguish the way the president behaves as not the way anyone should behave. Yes, they retort, “Well, but he’s the president.” But we’re losing our status internationally because of the way he behaves. We want to have a country where we have a leader who actually brings people together. This is a time when it’s OK to disagree with the president. In fact it’s important for us to disagree with the president and to say that we have other values, to really support families and keep communities together. What else are you doing while you’re here on Maui? It’s always good – I was just sitting there talking and these people came up to me. I’ll be going to the Maui Food Bank because I donated my shutdown salary to the three food banks in our state because the shutdown caused a lot of families to have to go to the food bank. I’ll be meeting with the Kalaupapa monument people because they are very intent on erecting a monument to acknowledge the 8,000 people sent to Kalaupapa.

Well, it didn’t take long for Mayor Mike “Balanced Vision” Victorino to show his true colors. Out fade the hopeful calls to “give him a chance,” replaced by the all-too-familiar sound of a Maui mayor shilling for the interests of Alexander and Baldwin. On the heels of that corporate prostration at the Capitol in favor of the hotly contested HB1326 stream-diversion bill (“God bless sugarcane”?) comes Victorino’s latest signal that his balanced vision needs a trip to the optometrist. On Monday, Feb. 25, faced with three department director vacancies after the Maui County Council refused to confirm nominees John D. Kim for prosecuting attorney, David Goode for the Department of Public Works, and William Spence for the Department of Housing and Human Concerns (all carryovers from the Arakawa Administration), Victorino pitched a curveball. He reappointed the rejectees, naming them “acting department directors” in their positions until he can find replacements. In a statement issued Monday evening, Victorino said he had a legal mandate for
that action, citing County Charter Article 6, Section 6-2(4), which gives the mayor the authority to appoint temporary heads of departments. What the mayor neglected to quote was the next Charter subsection, approved by Maui voters in 2016. Section 6-2(5) states that mayoral appointees “shall not continue in office if the council denies the appointment. If the appointment is denied by the council, the mayor shall make a new appointment within sixty (60) days of the council’s denial, and the council shall confirm or deny within sixty (60) days after receiving notice of the new appointment by the mayor.” “I think the charter is pretty clear that if the appointment is denied that the person shall not continue in office,” said attorney Lance D. Collins, the compiler and indexer of the 17-volume Proceedings of the Charter Commissions of the County of Maui. This provision was included specifically to prevent a mayor from “reappointing someone who has been denied and could basically have another 60 days as acting director,” Collins said, adding, “That was the intent… There isn’t a loophole.” Victorino (who, ironically, chaired the Policy and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee of the council that crafted that Charter amendment) apparently thinks otherwise. “I am taking the time, permitted under the Maui County Charter, to interview candidates for these positions,” he
said in his statement. “When I have found new, qualified candidates, who share my vision of delivering outstanding customer service to the people of Maui County, I will nominate them for director positions.” Evidently, his screening process and committee, convened last year for the purpose of selecting nominees for department directors, didn’t really do much screening: With no one waiting in the wings, the three rejected appointees were already carryovers from the Arakawa Administration. In a statement Tuesday, Council Chair Kelly King expressed “surprise” at the mayor’s action. It “appears to contradict the council’s specific intent in proposing the charter amendment on the confirmation of appointees,” she said. King added, however, that she was “reassured after speaking with Corporation Counsel Patrick Wong that it’s clear the charter requires the mayor to appoint new nominees for the Prosecuting Attorney, Director of Public Works and Director of Housing and Human Concerns within 60 days.” The mayor further assured her that the department heads only have “temporary status,” King said, and that he will be naming a new prosecuting attorney on March 1 and a new director of housing and human concerns on March 18. There has been no end date indicated for David Goode, who was rejected by the council by a vote of 6-3. In the meantime, stay tuned: King said she is requesting a more definitive legal opinion from Corporation Counsel Pat Wong and will consider proposing a charter amendment to clarify the process. After all the drama and messiness surrounding director confirmations this time around, a little clarity might be just what this process needs.

News Of The Weird WAIT, WHAT? In Mumbai, India, 27-year-old Raphael Samuel, an apparent follower of antinatalism, is suing his parents (both attorneys) for giving him life. Samuel says he was conceived without his consent, so his parents should pay him for his life. “I love my parents, and we have a great relationship, but they had me for their joy and their pleasure,” Samuel explained to The Print. “My life has been amazing, but I don’t see why I should put another life through the rigmarole of school and finding a career, especially when they didn’t ask to exist... Other Indian people must know that it is an option not to have children, and to ask your parents for an explanation as to why they gave birth to you.”

Pavlos Polakis, Greece’s deputy health minister, did not take kindly to a recent reprimand from European Union Health Commissioner Vytenis Andriukaitis, who admonished Polakis for smoking in public. Andriukaitis was in Athens Feb. 4 to mark World Cancer Day, reported Reuters. He also complained that the health ministry smelled of cigarette smoke and that nobody wears ties. Polakis replied in a Facebook post about the casual dress: “That’s a lie... the security guard at the entrance wore one. I don’t. It’s the suits which passed through here who bankrupted our country.” As for the scold about smoking, Polakis retorted: “I’ll decide when to stop smoking, on my terms.” Greece has the highest rate of smoking in the EU.
LOST AT SEA(L) When researchers at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) in New Zealand thawed out some frozen leopard seal excrement in January, which they use to study the animals’ health, they discovered “deep inside the scat” a USB stick containing vacation photos from Porpoise Bay. Reuters reported the defrosted poo had been placed in the freezer in November 2017, and the USB stick was left to dry for a few weeks before volunteers tried it out. The only clue to its owner is the nose of a blue kayak shown in one of the photos. Should the owner want it back, NIWA has a request: more leopard seal poo, please.

Barack Obama dressed as a prince, and one of President Donald Trump, dressed as a princess and wearing a MAGA hat. Taking a brick or stone from a nearby construction site, the man used it to smash through the window, store owner Glen Buzzetti told the New York Daily News. Next, he yanked the Obama mannequin out of the window and threw it on the ground. A member of the store’s security team was able to chase the man down the block and catch him, Buzzetti said. But Obama fans in the street weren’t happy with him, either. “We had to protect him from the crowd,” Buzzetti said. “He could have been killed. We had women trying to kick him in the head.” He said the man kept repeating that “he hated Obama” and that “the (Obama) mannequin was looking at him bad.”
POLICE BLOTTER Phillip Lee, 27, was arrested Feb. 4 on charges of simple robbery and simple battery after his attempt to take cash from a New Orleans Popeyes restaurant went south. The Times-Picayune reported that Lee arrived at the restaurant around noon and tried to steal money, but he couldn’t get the cash register open. So instead, he took some fried chicken and fled. Police caught up with him later, and the judge set his bond at $13,500. Popeyes is good, but wow.
LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINAL Richard J. Betters Jr., 44, of Schenectady, New York, has encountered police detectives in nearby Rotterdam before, which explains why he had one officer’s phone number in his contacts list. So on Feb. 6, The Daily Gazette reported, when a detective mistakenly received a text from Betters offering drugs, it was a law enforcement slam dunk. The detective played along with Betters, offering to meet him at the Taco Bell in Rotterdam, where he arrested Betters for criminal possession of a controlled substance (Oxycodone pills). He was held on $20,000 bail.

Councilmember Tasha Kama Flexes
PHOTO COURTESY MAUITIME
Vote to confirm Wong signals independence
Kama’s voice emerges
S
ocial media is where broken hearts are shared. Immediately after Councilmember Tasha Kama changed her committee vote – a known swing vote – to approve Mayor Mike Victorino’s embattled appointment for Corporation Counsel, Patrick Wong, the nastiness began. The most hurtful comments came in the form of name calling. Others leveled unsubstantiated allegations of nepotism. But of the more than 100 comments on a single Facebook post, most were disappointed, expressing frustration with Kama’s change of heart. Councilmember Tasha Kama’s Feb. 22 vote against the disapproval of the holdover Corporation Counsel and top lawyer for the county was a sign – a sign that Kama has her own sovereign voice on the council. While endorsements from progressive groups like Maui’s ‘Ohana Coalition, which go as far back as 2002, may signal an ideological allegiance, that base of support is only part of the story of her success as a candidate. Tasha campaigned hard, receiving tremendous campaign support from Maui’s progressive community, Shaka, Pono Network, and SAFE as she ran on a platform endorsed by Maui’s Sierra Club and MauiTime. Kama received MauiTime’s endorsement in our Aug. 2 Primary Election edition which included a photo of her on the cover along with five other “Mana Wahine” candidates. MauiTime editor Axel Beers interviewed Kama for MauiTime’s Walk Story candidate video series. In our Nov. 1 General Election edition, we also endorsed Kama. Last year, Kama defeated termed-out Mayor Alan Arakawa by nearly 11,000 votes. Kahului’s Kama vs. Arakawa race had the highest voter turnout of all nine council seats. Of Maui County’s 50,650 votes in 2018, only 4,400 people left the Kahului race’s boxes blank. Translation: Maui voters overwhelmingly wanted Arakawa out of office. As Nov. 6’s election results became clear, many who voted wanted to believe Maui finally had a council that would put our people first and not succumb to the old boy ways. But Kama is clearly her own boss. She’s been on boards and commissions for housing, special education, and Hawaiian sovereignty for decades. Tasha has been active all this time. Although new to the council, she’s not new to local government and decision-making, as her dynamic vote
shows. She sided with her fellow “Vote All 9” ‘Ohana Coalition councilmembers in the disapproval of three other directors last week, but with Wong she “flipped” and changed her vote to side with the ever powerful establishment. Although Wong’s retention affects me personally (disclosure: I’m currently a litigant against Maui County stemming from an unlawful arrest and the county’s subsequent appeal to the Hawai‘i Supreme Court ruling in my favor), I can’t fault her. I don’t agree with her decision, but it was her decision, not mine. If I want other decisions, I can run for council, vote for a different candidate in two years, or express myself constructively. I ask myself and others in the angry mob that are challenged by Kama’s decision: Do you really want to hate on someone you loved just a few weeks ago? Have you considered just how difficult this decision could have been for her? When MauiTime editor Axel Beers asked Councilmember Kama why she changed her vote on Wong, she replied, “Because he came to my office and helped explain what it is that he does and the body politic. One of the things I didn’t like the first time around was when he was defending the county, it’s like he was fighting against my own people, the people in our county.” Kama added that she took away from the meeting how “when one person files a lawsuit, then it’s the county that [Wong] has to protect against this one person.” Kama received a ton of votes. Votes from all over Maui County and from the people – people that voted, people that wanted to see different policy from Arakawa. MauiTime endorsed Kama on a platform opposite of Arakawa, and Kama arguably capitalized on voters’ growing distaste for Arakawa. To continue Arakawa’s policy seems out of line with the people – the people that voted for her, at least. But this continues to beg the questions of who her supporters are, how well voters know Kama’s politics, and how to best communicate any disappointment with any of her decisions. While her 2018 message aligned neatly with Maui’s progressives and she seemingly gladly accepted their support, Kama didn’t have the option to refuse or coordinate assistance from the super PAC SAFE and its ‘Ohana Coalition. Granted, she also didn’t publically speak out against what many call dark money, and if there was a misstep, this is one place where clarification on support would have been helpful: If Tasha didn’t align with her supporters, it would have been fair for her to speak out on points where disagreements are possible. But at this point, what we have is an independent councilmember more likely to swing the council than some who’d voted for an ‘Ohana Coalition majority had hoped. Whether she’s rightfully flexin’ and has a good sense of her support base, or is scorning an important part of her constituency, time will tell. ■

his nonstop wisecracks and kind blue eyes. Those eyes, however, miss nothing – particularly when it comes to agriculture. Born and raised in Bakersfield, California, Nixon, 48, began his career working for two of the largest and most successful growers in the state. Ever had a Cutie mandarin orange? Nixon ran that unit for Sun Pacific when the product launched. Today, Cuties are second only to Chiquita in produce name recognition. More recently, he spent four years on the Big Island growing macadamia trees out of lava rock for MacFarm. After only a month at Mahi Pono, Nixon is putting the final touches on the highly anticipated crop plan and assembling the crew and equipment necessary to make it happen. I agreed not to ask Nixon about plan specifics if he would talk about his farming philosophy and how it will manifest here on Maui. Here are excerpts from that conversation. Deborah Caulfield Rybak: When you first saw the land, what was your reaction? Larry Nixon: I was disappointed. [Alexander & Baldwin] were good sugar people, but
I don’t think they were the best farmers in the world. I expected the farm ground to be better cared for – it’s where your food comes from. It’s just messy. Look at this [points to pipe debris lying by the side of the road]. This is litter. That [indicates debris pushed against a nearby water ditch], that’s just laziness. DCR: So if this land were a house– LN: It’d be the one that nobody wanted to visit in the neighborhood. If somebody had broken-down cars or broken sprinkler pipes in their yard, would you want to stop there? DCR: And what about the condition of the soil? LN: The soil’s unhealthy, but I don’t think there’s anything bad in there – you can tell sick ground because stuff doesn’t grow back – but right now it’s not ready for new trees. We need to get it healthy. People keep saying, “Oh, we don’t know what’s on this ground. We don’t know what A&B did. We’ll never know.” Yeah, you will. We’re taking 1,100 soil samples the right way – with a backhoe. And when we get the results, we’ll share them.
DCR: I see a lot of plastic in the soil. What are you going to do? LN: I’m going to get it out. I know there’s stuff that can break it down, but everything that breaks down leaves something behind. I don’t have the time to wait for it to break down. I would rather come in and sift it, get it off island and not contend with it. DCR: Wow. Where did this environmental philosophy come from? LN: I don’t consider cleaning this up to be environmental work. It’s stewardship. It’s pride in land. DCR: OK, but every farmer doesn’t automatically express this type of stewardship, so where did you learn? LN: If I told you, you probably wouldn’t believe me. DCR: Try me. LN: At Sun Pacific and Paramount [his previous employers in California] there’s a pride in ownership. Everything is pristine. Our trucks are always clean. Our equipment is always clean. Our employees are happy and healthy, and they have the best benefits, and they have
the best products. The products command the market share, and they command a premium. And this all goes back to the health of the product, whether it’s nuts or oranges or table grapes. Clean, healthy nuts, clean, healthy grapes or citrus is what everybody strives for – and I’m not saying big ag companies in California weren’t forced to go that way. Clean, healthy food limits what you can do with nutrient and pesticide. I’m sure there are ways around it, but it’s easier to just get it right. Make no mistake, I’ll do anything it takes, within reason, to get a perfect product, but I don’t need to spray to do that. DCR: No Roundup? LN: Roundup is a bad idea, no matter where. Even at your house. And not around your food. Look, you can cut the weeds down and buy into a maintenance program, then you don’t need to continue to pour stuff that’s not on this island originally. I want to take that rougher road, because when you’re done, your finished product is the best on the market. Folks who farm with chemicals do so for performance. I don’t. There are ways around it. Are we going to have spray applications? Of course. There are things with permanent crops that people don’t understand, because there have never been permanent crops here. I only worry if I can’t sleep at night. If I’m a good steward, I’ll sleep. DCR: So what changes will we notice first? LN: The cane. We gotta get rid of that cane. And it’s the toughest thing – it’s like a weed. It just keeps coming back. We can’t start anything until we get rid of it. I don’t want to be in the cane business. DCR: Will you harvest it? LN: I’m not interested. And I won’t burn cane – good humans don’t burn. What we would be interested in is getting rid of it and using it to mulch. So we’ll come in, break all this up, turn the dirt, then start the regrading process. Cleaning this up and getting things to be pristine doesn’t have an effect on the bottom line. But it will have an effect on my workers and me.
enough bees on this island to support the island. But I don’t want to be in the bee business. We’re inviting beekeepers to put blocks of hives on the property. It will be lucrative for them if they do it right. DCR: Do we have other insect problems? LN: We need butterflies, ladybugs. And you can’t just bring in random insects – we have to research. Just because they’re not in Hawai‘i now doesn’t mean they weren’t there 150 year ago, before monocropping. I want to plant more native trees to attract them. When the day comes that you have to scrape bugs off your windshield when you get home, then I’ll be doing my job. DCR: The water issue is making news right now. Thoughts? LN: I don’t get involved in water issues. When you’re the biggest player on the block, everybody assumes you’re out for your interests. That’s not the case. A&B had the message, “Well, if it comes across our land, we’ll divert it and use it.” I don’t need it. We can do better than this, than these open ditches which worked 150 years ago. We need to be better neighbors and get a method for transmission that works. Plus, tree crops have a limit of water. You can get too much. From a farming perspective, there’s enough for all of us. DCR: I’m sure Mahi Pono had many applicants for this job. Why do you think they hired you? LN: Hawai‘i is where I want to be. I understand large-scale farming, but I also get working in Hawai‘i. And [pauses] how do I say this without sounding dumb? I am what I am. I’m really frank, and I try and be polite, but I can play across a couple different avenues. To get production people to work with farming people, it takes an oddball like me. That was my key to success at the other jobs, I spoke both farmer and production.
DCR: What else does the land need?
DCR: You have already hired some former Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company (HC&S) workers and said you plan to have about 80 employees by the end of 2019.
LN: Bees. There aren’t enough bees to support me on the island. There are not
LN: March 1 is the date that all those A&B employees become Mahi Pono employees.
And on that day, all the plantation terminology, even in our organizational charts and stuff, is gone. Because it goes to the culture. No more use of the word “chief.” No more gender specific terms like “ditchman.” I don’t mean to offend anyone who had that title, but it doesn’t sound right anymore. Nobody is going to call me “Mr. Nixon” or “Sir.” Everything is first name. Hierarchy doesn’t work for a guy like me. So the folks who worked for A&B and East Maui Irrigation, who have always been associated with the plantation, I want to get them into the fold and to understand that the hierarchy system is gone. The managers will have to buy into the same principles that everybody else is buying into. DCR: You recently met a Brazilian agronomist on island who inspired you to change your farm restoration plan. LN: He uses a layering effect with native grasses to bring the soil back. They’re taking the worst soil in Brazil and turning it into productive farmland. I would like to showcase his work. We’ll regenerate the soil through native grasses. And we’ll need some revenue generation. I’m not interested in corn and soybeans and all that, but there’s room for some alfalfa and oats and barley. DCR: Hops for the local breweries? LN: I’m not into growing sinful crops. DCR: What? LN: Oh [chuckles] that’s what I call them. But [Canadian pension fund] PSP says we can’t have hemp or be associated with alcohol-related crops, like wine grapes. Or drug crops like marijuana. DCR: But hemp’s not a drug. LN: Well, we’re looking at it, but hemp’s not that great a cash crop. I’m not planning for it, because if I don’t have to do it and it doesn’t benefit Maui, I’m probably not that interested. DCR: You’ve worked in citrus, in nuts, in pomegranates and potatoes. Do you have a favorite? LN: I like growing citrus; there’s something cool about it. There’s a connection to it. It hangs there; you can see it. Plus, not everybody can do it. I think the more exotic stuff may become my new favorite.
For example, no one has grown commercial liliko‘i in the Pacific in years. DCR: I know you aren’t ready to discuss the formal crop plan, but can you tell me about your business plan for these yet-to-be-announced crops? LN: It’s obvious by my appearance – I’m a Krispy Kreme guy. I like Costco’s hot dogs. I don’t eat kale. I don’t drink coffee, so you won’t hear me talking about, oh, we have the best coffee. I don’t know. But I can tell you the citrus, the mac nuts, the avocados will be premium. I want to be the best brand in the Pacific. And I’m not talking about a Mahi Pono brand; I mean a Maui brand. I had to explain that to somebody this morning. This nursery said, “I’ll give you an exclusive on a variety that only you will have.” I said, “Great. I have a grower going into the community farm who wants avocados.” They said, “Oh no, I mean for Mahi Pono.” I said, ‘No, the exclusive is with us, as an island, not Mahi Pono. At some point, when the trees mature, and I have the production facility, we’ll run them through as Maui avocados, not Mahi Pono avocados.” DCR: Really? LN: Sure. If I buy varietals only for Mahi Pono, my neighbors can’t benefit. That means I’m encouraging my neighbors to plant what I deem to be a lesser variety of avocado. It goes back to “the big guy took it all.” Everybody needs to understand that if we want something, it’s for Maui, not Mahi Pono. It’s the right way to do it. If we can command top prices for our products, then we can also sell product to schools at middle margins. I want to feed those schoolkids. DCR: That’s something, coming from an unmarried man with no children. LN: Hand those kids something they’ll eat; get them excited about clean, healthy food. Right now, the kid who one day will take my job is in the fifth grade on the island. We need to engage him or her about farming now or we’ll never keep them on Maui. It’s not the easiest way to make a living, but it’s an honorable way. ■ deborah@mauitime.com For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

A SPECTACULAR LINEUP PROMISES TO MAKE THE MAUI WINE & FOOD CLASSIC A LUXURY EVENT
"Wine therapist to the stars" Christian Navarro will curate the event
MAUI WINE & FOOD CLASSIC Four Seasons Resort Maui 3900 Wailea Alanui Dr. Friday, Mar. 1 - Sunday, Mar. 3 Schedule and prices online
I
t is an exciting time to be a drinker, and I mean that in the best way. Modern technology, social media, and a growing interest in organic and high quality tipples have resulted in a buyer’s market and a multitude of ways to learn about beverages. Wine dinners, events, and festivals are some of the best places to start. I fondly remember my first wine festival, overwhelmed by so many options but armed with a strategy and excited to find out more about the depth and variety of this drink. This year, the Four Seasons Resort Maui launches their very own event bringing together food and wine lovers at the Maui Wine & Food Classic, three days of luxury wine events culminating in an oceanfront gala finale on Saturday. The event will feature a spectacular lineup of wine, winemakers, sommeliers, and chefs never before seen on Maui. Four Seasons partnered with Wally’s Wine and Spirits of Beverly Hills and Westwood California to deliver a fresh perspective on wine culture curated by Christian Navarro, Wally’s president and chief taster, named “wine therapist to the stars” by the LA Times. “This event is exciting and unique, as it brings wine and food lovers together with winery owners, winemakers and winery dignitaries from around the world to spend three days together eating, drinking, and sharing paradise at Four Seasons Resort Maui, which has become one of the world’s leading wine destinations,” says
Navarro. He has compiled a list of nearly 30 preeminent wine producers with headliners such as Dom Perignon, Krug, Opus One, Chateau Cos d’Estournel, Colgin, Harlan Estate, Biondi Santi, Maison Louis Jadot, Billecart-Salmon and many more. Acclaimed spirit producers Louis XIII and Casa Dragones will also join the weekend. Morgan Maureze is a fifth-generation winemaker currently practicing his craft at the historical Marciano Estate in Napa, California. On Friday night he and Marciano Estate owner Maurice Marciano will be hosting one of the elite wine dinners pairing Marciano Estate wines with cuisine by Wally’s Chef Ryan Kluver. “For me winemaking is a way of life,” says Maureze. “My parents did not force me to go into this industry, it is my love of nature and wine that gives me the passion to do what I do at the level I do it. At Marciano Estate it’s all about true passion, respecting nature to produce the highest quality grapes possible from the amazingly diverse soils that we have. Once we have done that, the winemaking philosophy is simple. Minimal intervention. If you respect the fruit and the fermentation, you will capture the essence of the vineyard and terroir of this historical estate.” Maureze also reminds me that wine, and how we taste it, is all part of a bigger picture interconnected with nature, perception, conception, and emotion. “For me, wine is not just a simple product; wine has a lot of history, evolution, passion, attention to detail, textures, aromas, and flavors,” says Maureze. “All of these components can deliver pleasure on multiple levels. All things considered: the history of the property, the consumer’s personal experience, what was happening culturally that year, the weather conditions,
etc – whatever led to the creation of the wine or affected the consumer’s perception of it. All of these factors inform what a wine is… how it tastes, how it smells, emotions it elicits, what connections it forges. All of that is designed and intended for one thing: for us to enjoy it.” How we enjoy wine is another thing entirely. For Maureze some of the best pairings are surprising and start at home. “My wife is an amazing chef and she has a gift for pairing,” says Maureze. “Recently she paired and vegetarian dish with a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to prove to people that a very well constructed vegetarian dish can be paired well with Napa Cab. She prepared a beet gnocchi made out of roasted beets, fresh ricotta, and citrus zest and sauteed them in citrus browned butter. This was then served with a kale and pistachio pesto, pecorino crisps, and sauteed maitake mushrooms. A sprinkle of pomegranate seeds for garnish is a great, fruity pop when they’re in season. Beets have a wonderful earthy sweetness that complements red wine very nicely. The richness from the brown butter reigns in bold tannin, allowing softer fruit to emerge. The deep textures of the nutty pesto and crunchy cheese, combined with the aromatic mushrooms make for a very satisfying dish that not only pairs extremely well with Napa Valley red wines, but doesn’t leave you missing the meat.” Maureze has an easy going strategy when it comes to tasting and enjoying wine. “I enjoy many wines, for me they all have a reason and occasion to enjoy them,” he says. Yeshua Goodman, chef at Kiawe Outdoor and sommelier at Spagos has been deeply involved in the Maui Wine & Food Classic. “In the age of social media, we are getting a backstage pass to some of the greatest winemakers and personalities in the business,” says Goodman. “We’re also witnessing a paradigm shift from the mass produced and round-up sprayed vineyards to boutique and biodynamic produced wines. People want wine that tells a story.” If you want to know wines then following winemakers is part of the deal. “Pay attention to anything that Brian McClintic is collaborating on with his wine club Viticole,” says Goodman. “Brian is a tastemaker and trendsetter when it comes to wine..” Despite all the social and digital media hubbub, Goodman believes grape is still king. “Letting the grapes take center stage keeps me engaged,” he says. “The winemaker plays the pivotal role of letting the
vineyard and grapes reach full potential.” “Grapes are very complex,” adds Maureze. “Seeing them express their phenotype expressions from one area to another is always fascinating. Capturing those expressions in the pursuit of producing an exceptional wine is very exciting.” Goodman is looking forward to tasting legendary wines at the festival, but if he could only choose five wines to consume for the rest of his life they would be “Champagne, Red and White Burgundy, German Riesling, and Northern Rhone Syrah.” Turns out he is a bit of a riesling fanatic. “Hawaii’s food is perfect for the versatile white grape. Don’t be scared by a little residual sugar,” says Goodman. “These wines are special. For aged wines, try German Riesling from the 2000s or older.” On the subject, he adds, “Too many wines are consumed far too young. If the wine is meant to age, let it age; the difference in flavor and overall experience is mind blowing… Patience is a virtue.” Four Seasons Maui Executive Chef Craig Dryhurst will share his kitchens with Michelin-starred chef Jason McLeod of CH Projects, Jason Fox of Michelin-starred Commonwealth, Top Chef star Jennifer Carroll of Spice Finch, Ryan Kluver of Wally’s Beverly Hills and Wally’s Santa Monica, and Peleg Miron of Spago Maui to create the cuisine for the three days of events. The focus is on local ingredients and letting each chef have their own unique style shine through. Dryhurst will have a lot of tricks up his sleeve like wine jellies on the pairing menu. “I love making jellies with different gelling agents as interesting condiments for different foods,” says Dryhurst. “At the tasting menus we will be making pinot noir and Riesling jellies to pair with some mature cheeses at the end. We will also be baking truffle scented brie in brioche dough and shaving fresh truffles over the top, and serving with a red wine onion marmalade as part of our cheese course.” The glassology class is going to be a highlight. “It’s really different,” says Dryhurst. “Learning which glass goes with which wine is super interesting. Also having the 200th Anniversary of Billecart Salmon here in Maui at the Four Seasons. How many people can say they got to be a part of that amazing producer’s 200th year celebration!” Four Seasons is offering kama‘aina rates for the events (20% off), and rooms (starting at $349).

good food and entertainment at a familyfriendly event to support the radio and its important mission. Ahead of the bash, I talked to Michael Elam, Mana‘o’s board president and development director about the event, the unique mission of Mana‘o Radio, and last year’s party that drew over 400 supporters. “We’re having a Mana‘o Radio 17th birthday party!” he told me. “We’ve been on the air here on Maui for 17 years. It will have a Brazilian/New Orleans Mardi Gras theme. We’ll have excellent music by the Ono Grimes Band, Dr. Nat & Rio Ritmo, and Marimba Komborera. There will be New Orleans-style food, like gumbo and jambalaya, and other dishes catered by Nalu’s South Shore Grill. We’re holding a silent auction as well.”
directors, so they decide individually what they want to play. It’s not driven by some corporate mass-market thing. They’re all passionate about the music that they play. We are extremely eclectic; you can hear just about anything you can imagine on Mana‘o Radio if you listen to it long enough.” The station’s afternoon shows are beloved by music aficionados. “One that’s very well known is The Time Machine with Michael McCartney; he’s on Saturday afternoons from 2-5pm. Another one is called The Blue Bus with Forrest, Thursday afternoons 2-5pm. The Hula Honeys are very popular and very well known; they’re on Friday afternoons 2-5pm. I can go on and on,” Elam enthused. Many of the volunteer DJs will be in attendance at the event.

une in to 91.7 FM on any given day on Maui, and you might catch some vintage rock, jazz, or blues riffs, or maybe some electronica, Celtic, reggae, or heavy metal, or it might be Hawaiian, soul, or even polka. On Mana‘o Radio, volunteer DJs with names like Reverend Jules and Pistol Pete spin eclectic music seldom heard on
commercial radio, on shows with names like “The Cosmic Rock Fest” and “The Mindful Mix.” It’s a noticeable departure from much of what modern radio delivers. These local DJs have been bringing variety, originality, and authenticity into Maui’s cars and homes for 17 years. To support its volunteer-driven, community-oriented mission, Mana‘o is throwing a Carnivale-themed party for Maui residents. On Sunday March 3, from 2-6pm at the VFW Hall (commonly known as the Veteran’s Hall) on the beach in Kihei, Maui’s music-loving community is invited to come out and enjoy themselves with

Get down to some danceable rhythms!
Attendees are encouraged to dress for Carnivale. “People are encouraged to come dressed in costume, and there will be a costume contest,” Elam said. “We’re giving away free masks and beads. There will be a Brazilian dancer who will be dressed in an original, outrageous, spectacular, flamboyant costume.” The family-friendly event will also feature a face painter and a photo booth. I asked Elam about the mission and vision of Mana‘o Radio. “We’re a nonprofit, non-commercial, entirely listener-supported radio station. All of us who work at the station are volunteers; no one is paid. We do it because we love it. Part of our mission is to bring music to the community that doesn’t get played on other radio stations.” “All of our DJs are their own program
“It will be a lot of fun,” Elam told me. “We are doing this to support the station but we’re also doing it for the love of Maui and to give back something fun and exciting to the Maui community.” In a time of changing media and profitdriven music, Mana‘o’s mission seems even more relevant and poignant: music for art’s sake, service-oriented performers, creative passion, and local talent. This Sunday, you’ll have your chance to support that. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door, with a limited number of advance purchase tickets available now at 808 on Main in Wailuku, 808 Deli in Kihei, or at their Eventbrite. ■ jen@mauitime.com For more A&E stories, visit: mauitime.com/entertainment

Take It or Leave It Alita: Battle Angel is straightforward sci-fi razzle dazzle ★★★★★
Rated PG-13 / 122 Min.
A
PHOTO COURTESY IMDB
ccording to The Greatest Sci-Fi Movies Never Made by film writer David Hughes, James Cameron spent ten years after Titanic pondering what to make next before ultimately deciding on Avatar. During that period of indecision, Cameron came thisclose to directing Terminator 3, Spider-Man, and True Lies 2. Alita: Battle Angel had also been floating around the rumor mill as a Cameron pet project to be made post-Avatar. Now, with Cameron serving as co-screenwriter and executive producer to director Robert Rodriguez, the end result is imperfect but still a potent blast of sci-fi razzle dazzle. Rosa Salazar stars in the title role, a robot fused together from dissimilar parts by a compassionate doctor (played by Christophe Waltz). As Alita slowly recalls her past life, she realizes her value as a warrior and embraces the human qualities within her heart (which she occasionally pulls out of her chest to make a point). Alita: Battle Angel isn’t existentialist scifi, like either Blade Runner or A.I. Artificial Intelligence. When the question of whether Alita is in love comes up, the characters (and the movie itself) take it at face value. There is nothing philosophical or intellectual about how the film portrays the ethics of its robotic or cyborg characters. In fact, there’s something refreshingly straightforward about how Rodriguez has fashioned a trashy, cyberpunk, action/sci-fi popcorn movie. Take it or leave it. Cameron’s 2000-2002 TV series, “Dark Angel,” which starred Jessica Alba in her breakthrough role, now appears to have been a dry run for this far more elaborate
Alita is an endearing character, but don't expect any deep philosophical asides
take on similar material. Cameron’s best collaboration as writer and producer on material directed by someone else is still Strange Days, the amazing, confrontational 1995 thriller helmed by his ex-wife, Katherine Bigelow. Rodriguez doesn’t finesse the pulpy qualities of the material; in fact, despite the colossal price tag, this shares the lovingly fused-together, homegrown quality of his Spy Kids movies (note how, despite the fantastic settings, Alita: Battle Angel was filmed in Rodriguez’s Austin, Texas hometown). There is a lack of depth to the human characters and a connect-the-dot quality to the screenplay (gee, if they establish “murder ball” in act one, surely there will be a tournament in act three, right? Yep). Waltz is miscast and appears to be emotionally disconnected from his character. While Jennifer Connelly and Mahershala

Ali are strikingly attired, exactly what their characters are doing and how they fit in with the evil plans of the off screen “Nova” aren’t entirely clear. Thankfully, the fight scenes are exciting, Alita is an endearing character and, most crucial to the film’s success, Salazar is completely charming in the role. Initially, the character is so earnest, the sentiment seems overwhelmingly gooey. As the story progresses, Alita takes on a welcome edge. However, like adorable movie characters ranging from E.T., Dobby, and Johnny Five, Alita has really wide eyes that offer Bambi-like expressions. The visual effects are so ambitious, I didn’t mind that not every moment convinces. If anything, the close-ups of Alita are so remarkable and life-like, I always believed in the character. A big set piece in the third act, which
plays like a cross between Rollerball and the A.I. Flesh Fair, is crafted with the blend of thrills and chaos that defines Rodriguez’s best work. Rodriguez has come a long way from his early films – the combined budgets of his wonderful Mariachi Trilogy still wouldn’t come close to the reported $200-million cost of this one. Yet, there is a gruff, wily quality to Alita that doesn’t betray his indie roots. Rodriguez hasn’t made an impersonal or safe Hollywood product. In fact, this is so violent, the PG-13 seems especially ill-suited for all the carnage and unsettling imagery. With its open-ended final scene, both rousing and teasing more to come, this concludes with a welcome (though admittedly iffy) invitation for a series of subsequent episodes. If a cult following ensues and Salazar returns as Alita, I’d welcome more of this wonderful character. ■

Horoscope
MAUI’S BEST PHOTOGRAPHER
Sign Language PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Even you, with your above-average levels of patience and compassion, may find yourself tested this week. Even you can only take so much shit before you explode. Unfortunately, because you’re used to insensitive bores, and abnormally tolerant of them, you haven’t developed your brush-off and evasion skills as well as some of the rest of us. You need a partner-in-crime to help you prevent a scene. Find a Libra; they’re experts at avoiding confrontation. Failing that, grab a Leo and beg them to escort you to the nearest exit. At least that way, if you get caught, you’ll have someone who can roar louder than any of the folks you’re trying to avoid.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
You’ve been hunting forever, and still you haven’t managed to trap your quarry. I’m sure it’s occurred to you that you may not even be looking in the right place, or using the right methods, but since you can’t think of anywhere else to look or any better way to go about it, you just keep soldiering on. Unfortunately, because of your energetic, determined, and exceedingly stubborn nature, it’s never even crossed your mind to give up. This is why you have friends and a friendly neighborhood astrologer – to tell you to. This is not going to happen. Give up. Stop wasting your time and use it for something that will actually do you good.
WEDDINGS
FAMILY
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
I know it’s cliche, but if your life were an amusement park ride, it would definitely be a roller coaster. Other people appear to get to ride the kiddy train, enjoying a smooth, stress-free, predictable path from point A to point B. Some get stuck on the merry-go-round and never get anywhere. This week you can get off the ride you’re on and change it up for something else, but I wouldn’t, if I were you. Even though you might be sick of the tumultuous ups and downs (at the moment), I really don’t think you’d ultimately want it any other way (at least not for long). TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
You’ve got spiritual chicken pox. Don’t scratch that itch; it’ll leave a scar. Right now you’ve got to do what it takes to keep yourself from going there, because the consequences aren’t worth the brief satisfaction you’d get out of indulging yourself. Have someone bind your hands in oven mitts and duct tape. Provide yourself with an endless stream of distractions so you don’t succumb to the urge to scratch yourself until you bleed. Eventually, in a week or two the temptation to scar yourself for a fleeting moment of pleasure will fade, and you’ll be able to remove the oven mitts and get on with your life – just not yet. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
You’re charming. This is both a strength and a weakness, I’m afraid. Your habit of turning up the volume on your charisma, when things aren’t quite going your way, is sometimes a bad one. Unfortunately, it’s had a lot of reinforcement over the years, since it almost always works. What’s the problem? This week, it won’t. Those you’re dealing with are immune to (or perhaps even averse to) charm. Because this has been your crutch, your available alternative tools are almost nonexistent. I’m afraid you’re going to have to do this directly. If you can prove you’re actually better than your competition, and not just better-looking, you might still turn this the way you want it go. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Forget revenge. Harboring thoughts or plans of vengeance, or worse, enacting them, would be way too damaging to your psyche, soul, and overall well-being. It may feel unthinkable to just let things go without getting in at least the last word, yet that is quite simply what you should do this week. Of course, you can go ahead and succumb to the temptation to lash out, one last time, at those who’ve wrong you, but don’t say you weren’t warned. This could be over now, if you let it be. Or it could haunt you for months or perhaps years. It’s your choice. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
You know what a difference a tiny taste of hedonistic pleasure can make; you’re quick enough to reward yourself with these whenever you feel the need. It helps you get through the bullshit and suffering that so much of life is. It’s that spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down. Share your Leonine wisdom. Please stop watching someone else struggle with a difficult time without offering (or insisting) upon that little bit of pleasure that will make things so much better, or at least more bearable. It’s what you wish someone would do for you, isn’t it?
SEAN MICHAEL HOWER
You think you might find happiness in the bottom of that cup, which is why you keep overturning the thing, trying to find that last drop, but it’s just not there to be found, I’m afraid. I appreciate your willingness to follow this road to the very end of the line, but don’t be bitter that it didn’t go where you wanted it to. It’s time to wash the dishes, recycle the empty bottles, and look for serenity and joy elsewhere. You can’t say you didn’t try it this way. By now you ought to have definitive proof that it didn’t work. Are you really too stubborn to change things up, or can you be flexible enough to opt for something completely new? SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Don’t let yourself get derailed. It doesn’t happen to you often; usually your single-mindedness keeps you pretty much unshakably on track. Not this time, though. There are too many forces at work here for you to be able to rely on your usual levels of obsessiveness. Remember the other times you’ve floundered and gone astray from the path you’d chosen, and how long it took you to find it again. Your increased determination ought to help, but it might not be enough. If you think you might not be able to navigate at the moment, ask for help. I don’t think Jesus is about to take the wheel, but one of your friends might. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Don’t worry, you haven’t become boring, even if you’re going through a less-than-thrilling phase. You like to think of yourself as a wild one, which is why you’re more surprised than anyone when your desires run to the tame, the vanilla, and the safe. Just go with it. Even the wildest of daredevils needs a safe place to start from, before they hurl themselves from a cliff or under a train. Maybe you just need a break. Or maybe this is the wind-up for a wilder adventure than you’ve so far been on. This could be the flat ground for your running start. Is it?

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
This week you have permission not to apologize. You don’t have to say you’re sorry for who you are, or for not being into something, or for your interests. It is what it is, and people who are intent on criticizing you for it had better get some better hobbies. You’re under a lot of scrutiny lately, and it’s not fair. I do hope you put yourself under the magnifying glass periodically, and check that what you’re doing is on the up and up, and good for you and yours. But that’s not anyone else’s business. Remember that this week, when people insist otherwise. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
What was up with all the drama this winter? Was it because people were cooped up with nothing better to do? I know you’re as relieved as I am that the temperature’s changing; hopefully we’ll see some variation in the emotional climate, too. However, just as spring generally comes in heralded by stormy rains, there’s probably another tempestuous drama on your horizon as well. Weather it as well as you can, Aquarius, and do your best to minimize the fallout and damage. Stay strong and watch for the green shoots of new beginnings. They’re what will get you through winter’s last few freak-outs.
