LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR HARSHER! In response to Frank Pulaski’s letter in your Aug. 29 issue, he obviously knows nothing about Cort Gallup or his qualifications. He even got the seat that Cort is running for wrong. He is running for the State House of Representatives, District 11, South Maui, not the State Senate.

Cort has worked in the criminal court system, and was a social worker for troubled kids at the Maui Farm. He was president, founder and head coach for First Nations Ski Team, a program for underprivileged youths. The program saved many teens from heading down the path of drugs and violence by teaching them values and responsibility through sports. He was also a television news anchorman. This position, as well as his career with Maui Weekly, has allowed him to investigate all sides of tough issues. Political issues. Human issues.

Pulaski obviously doesn’t know how to read very well either. Gallup has investigated many serious problems that face our island community. From the desecration of AhihiKinau to air ambulance services to the proposed gas cap, he has studied these and many other legislative issues in depth. Obviously, Pulaski has only read stories about the big cat.

Cort’s knowledge of the issues, his drive and his true passion for helping the people of Maui shined through, making his opponent Chris Halford look ridiculous.

Keep in mind, Mr. Pulaski, Cort’s opponent has done absolutely NOTHING for his district in the eight years he has been in the House. Halford has been the sole no vote against the budget time and time again and voted against funding for the high school that is so desperately needed in South Maui.

I suggest that you do your homework before you attack any more candidates in the press.

DAMN, BRAH This is to the total jerk and butthead who had a problem with another The Who concert attendee (Eh Brah, Aug. 19). You had a problem with him so you threaten him with your position in “the criminal justice system.” No wonder it is a “CRIMINAL” justice system you work in. You say you will “pull a few strings” to warp the legal system to accomplish your personal vendetta. In the criminal justice system this is called extortion or terroristic threatening. You are now a criminal.

You should immediately resign as you are NOT qualified to participate in a JUSTICE system. You should be fired and blacklisted from any legal activity as well as get beaten up by the person you are threatening. To use the system for your own personal grudge match is obscene as well as scary.

I hope to never meet you in court.

This is to the blonde in the silver convertible who just had to pass me on the highway. Never mind that there were double lines as we were rounding the curve at Olawalu. Never mind that the speed limit there is a comfortable 30 mph while you insisted on pushing 65. Who cares if you put lives in danger as we were rounding the corner? I have been living on Maui for more than 10 years. I moved here because I was not in a hurry to live my life. I wanted to enjoy and respect life. I moved because life in California was just going a bit too fast for me. In other words, I moved to get away from people exactly like you who have absolutely no respect for anyone or anything other than themselves. Did you realize that even though you hurried you and I ended up pulling into the Post Office in Ka’anapali at exactly the same time? I was planning on becoming a classic bitch to you, but then realized that I would just be reflecting your actions.

My brief career as a mighty sailin’ man The man is shouting at me from the boat.

“The rabbit goes into the hole,” he yells.

“Into the hole, son! Ah, hell, he just dudn’t get it.”

While he’s shouting, I’m fighting a losing underwater battle with the bowline knot, which I’m told I must master or my employment with the snorkel boat will be finished.

I rather dislike ultimatums and I’m not keen on threats, but to work on a boat, you have to know knots. Though I’ve done this particular knot on land, underwater I felt clumsy and self-conscious.

Everyone was watching me, waiting to see if I could do it. The Tourists have come to Hawaii to be entertained and stimulated. They want to see someone dive down deep into the deep blue water and do something miraculous. My inability to do what they expected of me disappoints them.

This job is repellent.

I should have known this. After all, I was warned. “Nope, you won’t make it,” crowed the peanut gallery. “That kind of work sucks. You’re not the type.”

This dissuasion made me anxious. After all, are these people seeing something I am not? What kind of type am I? I signed onto the boat to find out.

“Bring your sunscreen, white shoes and shorts,” the cheery voice from the Molokini snorkel boat company said to me not long after I applied. “Not board shorts. Shorts.”

The distinction puzzled me.

“Shorts?” I said. “Board shorts? Aren’t shorts just... shorts?”

“No,” I was told. “Board shorts are like jams.”

“Jams?”

“We want like, you know, nice shorts.

Like you buy at Banana Republic.

Walking shorts.”

I decided to be a rebel and don the much-maligned jams.

Working on a boat, any boat, is exceedingly hard, backbreaking work. It requires you to rise at 4 a.m. and work until the late afternoon.

In the course of the day, you must complete various chores. You must clean the boat, swab the deck, buy food for The Tourists, clean human feces and vomit, discard sanitary napkins, urine and other bile, chop onions, tomatoes, muffins and other food, attend to those who have become seasick, dispense vomit bags, wander around with a billowing rubbish bag and collect whatever used waste that has accumulated.

You’re required to pretend to be a life-

Sure, she looks harmless, but... guard, regardless or whether you’ve received adequate training. When arriving at one of the dive sites but before anyone’s entered the water, you must heroically jump into the blue abyss and look for “Tony” the tiger shark, to make sure he doesn’t attack The Tourists.

You must smile and keep your appearance to that deemed satisfactory by those who are in charge of you.

You must make others laugh at the appropriate times and you must laugh at others at the appropriate times.

You’re must give accurate directions to Hana.

When you’re handing out snorkels and fins, you must deal with ghastly women who are bitter about their shoe size.

You must not fall into the water or the propellers will, they said, “chop you up.”

Prodigious numbers of Japanese tourists ride the boat, few of whom swim well and fewer still speak functional English. Learning to say “Take your fins off before getting on the ladder” in Japanese is essential.

As drinks are provided for free, you must mimic a bartender. How exactly does one prepare an Adios Motherfucker? How about a White Russian, or a Sex on the Beach, perhaps?

Don’t know? I didn’t either. I would just put stuff in other stuff, pour in lots and lots of hard alcohol and be done with it. But drinking and boating seldom has positive repercussions.

On my very first day, a fellow crewmember was ejecting human waste into the ocean. To do this, you must go down into the bilge and open a hatch in the floor of the boat, which happens to be located exactly where people walk. After consuming Budweisers for several

hours, one morbidly obese gentleman walked straight into the hole, crashing his enormous leg into the edge of the floor, spraying blood about the premises, then fell some distance into the bilge. He landed with a tremendous crash. The effect was bizarrely cartoon-like.

In the middle of it all, people ask you questions like “Do you live here?” and “Do they pay you for this?”

This goes on for hours on end.

Tedious, unpleasant and sickening labor it may be, but the final humiliation—the one that proved too much for me—occurred when The Tourists finally depart the boat. This is where The Tourists are guilt-tripped into giving gratuities. The “crew” stands at the bow, holding this ridiculous bucket like a bunch of beggars, all smiling like fools, counting on The Tourists’ kindness.

“Okay guys, Mahalo... All right folks, have a good day... Okay, guys, have a great time, come back and see us... Mahalo...

Thanks guys, good to meet you... Mahalo...

Aloha, like the turtles? Awesome, that’s just really super! Aloha, Mahalo...”

Marian Kunihisa has sat on your Maui County Liquor Commission since April, 2002.

A realtor by trade, she’s approved and rejected many liquor license applications with the other eight politically connected, appointed commissioners.

Ironically, in the spring of 1997 Kunihisa went to war with another, far more powerful appointed body—the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Her comments, written in all-caps and full of exclamation points, make it pretty clear that she thought small businesses were getting a raw deal from the Commission.

“It’s time the FTC quit assuming that all business opportunities and franchises are scams!!!” Kunihisa wrote on April 11, 1997 at 3:52 in the afternoon, which we’re assuming was Eastern Standard Time.

“There are people out here who do not get an automatic pay check [sic] like you and are scratching every day to earn a living!!!

There is good and bad in every single entity, especially the government.”

The matter Kunihisa was commenting on concerned a proposed FTC rule-changes to the disclosure requirements for “business opportunities”—small time ventures that very often mask pyramid schemes and other scams.

“It’s a long story,” Kunihisa said when I called her for comment. “It had to do with network marketing in relation to people doing online travel bookings. Everyone’s doing online bookings now. I was upset, but it’s all said and done now.”

I’ll say she was upset. The thought of an appointed commission telling small businesses what to do unquestionably pissed her off.

“We are Americans living under a so-called democracy,” Kunihisa wrote. “You people act like communists who want to strangle American creativity and ingenuity. Isn’t your job to refine and lead business rather than to kill them??? Look back into your history books. All new ideas were attacked and ridiculed but isn’t that how we have all that we have today? Do think this world is not going to change and that the old ways will always work for our children?

“Get real and have the guts to stand up to political, special interest group pressure,” her comment concluded. “I hope there comes a day very soon when you get treated like you treat people! And I hope you are one of the innocent ones who just got lumped in with the bad.”

But as she said, that was a long time ago.

WEDNESDAY, AUG. 25 The hunt is on… for the Hana Snake!

That’s right folks, scary invasive species are at it again. Last month it was Coqui Frogs.

Before that it was Veiled Chamelons.

Giant Reeds are always big. So’s the dreaded Banana Bunchy Top Virus. And who could forget that stupid Olinda Big Cat that everyone thinks exists but probably doesn’t. But now, it seems there really is a serious invasive species running around.

Okay, not really running, but you get the picture. Now it seems that Maui—long free of hated snakes—has a snake. Assuming the two women who claimed to see the thing a couple weeks ago were on the up and up, there’s a Brown Tree Snake somewhere in Hana, doing its damnedest to keep from getting captured or killed by state biologists.

Those people are serious! They’re carrying shotguns! Oh, and they’ll shoot, too. Do you know how many times a state biologist gets to shoot something in the line of duty?

Not bloody often.

THURSDAY, AUG. 26 Got an official press release from the County of Maui today announcing that they’d just won, for the 10th year in a row, the Government Finance Offices Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA)’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its Fiscal Year 2005 Budget. The release further states that GFOA gave the county the award because it met “nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation.” Now this is one of those awards government groups give other government groups that sounds kinda prestigious until you look it up. In fact, not only is Maui County winning this thing not a big deal, but it’s winning it 10 consecutive years is actual-

ly rather mediocre. GFOA, whatever it is, gives out hundreds of these awards every year, all over the U.S. and Canada. The Kodiak Island Borough in Alaska has won one for the past 13 years. So has the City of Junction City, Kansas, the City of Irvine, California and the State of New Jersey. The City of Fayetteville in Arkansas’s won one for the last 15 years. And the mighty City of San Antonio, Texas has won this thing for the past 20 years.

But yeah, Maui County won it. Woohoo… Hey, speaking of woo and/or hoo, The Maui Weekly’s stepped in it again. A few weeks ago, Publisher/Editor in Chief Joseph Sugarman made a big deal out the fact that Democrat Cort Gallup couldn’t write for the paper anymore because he’s running against Republican incumbent Chris Halford in the 11th State Representative District, which stretches over South Maui. Nothing wrong with that—allowing Gallup to keep writing raises considerable equal time issues with his opponent—but at the same time Sugarman allowed Weekly reporter and Gallup campaign manager J. M. Buck to keep writing. In fact, Sugarman’s gone out of his way to conceal from the Weekly readership that Buck is managing Gallup’s campaign. In the Aug. 26 Weekly, reporter Joseph W. Bean’s laborious “South Maui Candidates Speak” story refers to “Gallup’s campaign manager,” but never identifies her by name. Highbrow journalism ethics guys call that a “conflict of interest.”

FRIDAY, AUG. 27 Amidst all this campaign rhetoric coming from our fearless leader George W. Bush about creating jobs and turning corners and whatever else he’s boasting about in his mangled English, Census figures show that poverty nationwide is going up. And Hawaii, being still part of the nation, has seen its poverty rise as well. But the Census figures show other disturbing nationwide trends. In fact, the Census shows that poverty’s been going

up in the U.S. every year since—let me check this Associated Press chart here—ah, yes, that would be 2001. I remember 2001! That’s when Dubya took office. What’s more is that in each year since Dubya took office, the ranks of the uninsured have also gone up, while median income has gone down. That means Bush wins the coveted trifecta of mediocre leadership, last held by his dear old dad, otherwise known as George H. W. Bush. If he understood any of this, I’m sure he’d be proud…

In a surprise move, anti-Makena Resort radical and termed-out County Councilman Wayne Nishiki endorsed Michele Anderson, who’s worked as his aide for the last seven years, to succeed him in the seat representing South Maui.

Reading today how Norwegian Cruise Line’s brand new Pride of Aloha cruise ship lacks both pride and aloha, according to the Associated Press. Specifically, numerous passengers have complained about “dirty sheets, smelly bathrooms, poor quality food and twohour waits for meals.” Especially the part about the meals—you know how them cruise shippers like quick buffet access. Cruise line officials acknowledged the complaints with the all-U.S. worker-staffed vessel, but said they were just teething problems. On the plus side, the equipment that dumps the sewage into the ocean seems to be working just fine.

Hawaii). Guy has such name recognition around these parts his campaign signs say simply “Dan, U.S. Senate.” Anyway, the Advertiser reports that despite Inouye’s long opposition to bringing gambling to Hawaii—a position that no doubt makes number one Hawaiian tourist destination Las Vegas very, very happy—it hasn’t stopped the good senator from accepting a few bucks from casinorunning Native American tribes. Okay, it was more than a few bucks—so far this election cycle Inouye’s taken $172,445 from gaming tribes, which is only $169,945 more than he took from those same tribes back when he last ran for reelection in 1998. “I am deadly against gaming,” Inouye told the Advertiser, and you can bet he’s telling the truth… The Maui News runs a very eloquent letter from Dave DeLeon of Haiku stating that the Maui County Salary Commission should “increase the salaries of the County council members significantly” without noting that DeLeon is Mayor Alan Arakawa’s senior executive assistant. Not that there was any problem with DeLeon’s exercising his First Amendment right to free speech or the content of his letter—a County Council salary hike wouldn’t affect DeLeon or his boss— but it would have been nice if the News mentioned that he’s more than just a concerned citizen.

MMMM… RAW HORSE FLESH Among the ice cream flavors offered recently at Ice Cream City in Namco Nanja Town in Tokyo’s Toshima-ku, according to the English-language Mainichi Daily News website are these: spinach, garlic, tomato, seaweed, oyster, red wine, goat, chicken, lettuce and potato, wheat, shark fin, and something called “raw horse flesh.” Each flavor’s package is shown, mouth-wateringly photographed.

THE LEARNED PROFESSION OF LAW

In June, the director of Thailand’s corrections system wanted a way to shift inmates’ interest away from betting on the Euro 2004 soccer tournament to actually playing soccer and so had the bright idea to schedule them a match against outsiders, ostensibly to build up their self-esteem, but the outsiders happened to be trained soccer-playing elephants from Ayuthaya Elephant Palace. Self-esteem might have taken a hit, since the inmates could manage only a 5-5 tie. The elephants apparently were allowed to move the ball with their trunks.

TODAY IN MYSTICAL COWS

In July, police were summoned to an upscale office building in west St. Louis on a report of a man roaming the halls with a gun, and on arrival, officers found some workers hiding under desks and in closets and others having fled the building. Police concluded that two lawyers, Gary Burger and Mark Cantor, were once again playing their game in the hallways, stalking each other with BB guns and occasionally firing.

Police said they intend to file charges of waving a dangerous weapon, and one officer said the men would be tried as adults.

PRE-EMPTIVE WAR Ice cream truck driver Markus Miller, 29, was arrested in Enid, Okla., in August after he ended an altercation with an 18year-old customer by allegedly pulling out his handgun and firing two shots at the woman’s feet—one shot ricocheted and hit her collarbone. And in July, police in Grahamstown, South Africa, were hunting a soccer referee after the man ended a confrontation with a coach—after the referee had yellow-carded his player—by pulling out a gun and shooting the coach dead.

As many as 400 Cambodian pilgrims a day are flocking to the northern village of Phum Trapeang Chum to be licked by a mystical cow that was born in a sacred commune, according to a July Agence France-Presse report. Word got out after the wife of the cow’s owner said she was cured of a chronic illness, and other success stories followed, and now the owner is charging the equivalent of about 13 U.S. cents for four licks. But, warned the owner, “the cow won’t lick people who won’t put in their money.”

PEOPLE WITH ISSUES In August, the North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners revoked the license of John Hall of Cornelius, N.C., based on a finding that he for some reason had been injecting his semen into the mouths of several patients during office visits. He had tearfully denied the charges, but his semen was found on syringes turned in by two of Hall’s assistants, and patients testified to an “awful”-tasting substance he had squirted into their mouths (and one testified to his seriously improper sexual manner in treating her). Hall told the examiners that the reason he had semen in the office was for a sperm-count test concerning his use of the hairloss drug Propecia, but then could not explain why other people’s DNA (perhaps from their saliva) was also found in the syringes.

What the Hell is Going On in the 10th District?

Politics on Maui can be really weird.

Take the race for the state House of Representatives 10th District seat that represents West Maui, for instance.

No, seriously, take it. Please. It’s so screwed up that I couldn’t get a straight answer to a very simple question: Who is running Representative Brian Blundell’s campaign?

When a person runs for office, this is one of the easier questions he or she faces. In fact, the state makes the candidate write down the name of the campaign chairperson on a single-page form called a Candidate Committee Organizational Report.

Blundell filed such a form on June 2 for his 2004 reelection campaign. But in Blundell’s case, that report raises more questions than it answers.

That’s because Blundell listed longtime Lahaina resident and high-priced imported knickknack purveyor Joan D. McKelvey as his campaign chairperson. In early June, this wasn’t surprising—after all, McKelvey had run Blundell’s 2002 campaign. But in late July McKelvey’s daughter-in-law Greta “Mo’ Bettah” McKelvey announced that she was running as a Democrat in the 10th District.

Greta McKelvey’s entrance into the race made Blundell’s employing Joan as his campaign chair an extraordinary conflict of interest. So on Aug. 28, I called Blundell to find out Joan McKelvey’s status with his campaign and what Blundell thought of Greta potentially running against him.

“Joan McKelvey is still my campaign chair,” Blundell said.

“If you don’t mind my saying so,” I said

Joan McKelvey, from 2001 laughing, “isn’t that a bit odd?”

“This whole thing is a bit odd,” Blundell said.

“A lot more odd than anybody but me knows.”

That is odd. But when I asked for more information, Blundell said he couldn’t comment further until after the Sept. 18 primary election.

Everything about this race is odd. It all started on July 15, when Blundell—who up to that point had been running unopposed—got himself arrested in Honolulu for making

advances on an undercover cop in a public park men’s room. Telling The Maui News that he engaged in “inappropriate touching,” Blundell said he would take responsibility for the incident.

The arrest set the catatonic county Democratic Party into furious action.

Suddenly claiming he’d intended to run someone against Blundell all along, Maui County Democratic Party Chairman James “Kimo” Apana offered two challengers on

July 20, which, coincidentally, was the filing deadline.

Neither had political experience. Kameo Tanaka is a prison guard at Maui Community Correctional Center. The other is 26-year-old Greta McKelvey, who works for an online travel agency owned by her mother.

Wondering what Mo’ Bettah thought of the fact that her own mother-in-law was apparently actively conspiring against her, I called Greta McKelvey. Angus McKelvey, Greta’s husband, campaign chairperson and Joan’s son, expressed shock at Blundell’s statement.

“That’s news to her,” Angus told me on Aug. 30. “I don’t know that [Joan] knows that.

She’s staying out of the race completely. She quit [Blundell’s] campaign about a week after my wife filed.”

Okay. Blundell says Joan McKelvey is still his campaign chair, but McKelvey’s son says she quit way back in July. Obviously, I was going to have to call Joan herself and get the real story.

Actually, what I got was a whole new round of questions.

“I was his chairperson prior to my daughter-in-law throwing her hat into the ring,” Joan told me on Aug. 30. “But it’s a difficult conflict of interest for me to be his campaign chairperson now. So he is going to release me.”

Going to?

“I’m stepping aside,” she said. “I’m meeting with Brian tomorrow.”

Tomorrow? Not last month, but tomorrow— Aug. 31, a few days after I started asking about Blundell’s campaign chairperson. At least she was right about the conflict of interest part.

“Odd” doesn’t even come close to describing this one. MTW

Rambo was a Chump John Kerry should be ashamed of Vietnam service John Kerry has made a career out of trying to have things both ways. Now it’s catching up with him.

In October of 2002, when he voted for a Senate resolution giving George W. Bush the authorization to invade Iraq, Kerry knew that there was no solid proof that Saddam Hussein had illegal weapons.

Five months after the fall of Baghdad, Bush asked Congress for $87 billion to finance the occupation of Iraq. But with 130,000 troops bogged down by a resistance movement that was killing at least one soldier a day, the war had already become unpopular. Only 41 percent of Americans— the number kept sliding—remained sweet on regime change. Again wanting to be on the winning side of the polls, Kerry voted against the appropriation.

in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions and all of this is ordered as a matter of written established policy by the government of the United States from the top down. And I believe that the men who designed these, the men who designed the free fire zone, the men who ordered us, the men who signed off the air raid strike areas, I think these men, by the letter of the law, the same letter of the law that tried Lieutenant Calley [found guilty in the My Lai massacre], are war criminals.”

By 1971, American public opinion had turned against the war in Vietnam. Kerry’s views were widely accepted. But it has now been three decades since we fled Saigon.

Hollywood movies have portrayed Vietnam vets as noble warriors hampered by simpering

MILITARISM IS IN THE AIR. VIETNAM HAS BEEN REHABILITATED, AND NO ONE HAS DONE MORE TO REWRITE THIS HISTORY THAN JOHN KERRY. Republicans have had a field day with his hawk-to-dove act. “[Kerry] tried to explain his vote by saying: I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it. End quote,” Bush told his chortling audiences. “He’s got a different explanation now. One time he said he was proud he voted against the funding; then he said that the whole thing was a complicated matter. There is nothing complicated about supporting our troops in combat.”

Kerry has a reasonable explanation for voting against the money to pay for the war he voted in favor of: he preferred that the $87 billion come from a partial repeal of Bush’s tax cuts, whereas Bush tacked it onto the deficit. The elephant in the room, however, is this: he never should have voted for the Iraq incursion in the first place.

The debate about Kerry’s Vietnam War record similarly revolves around the Democratic candidate’s penchant for flip-floppery.

Kerry returned from the war in Vietnam in 1971. An early supporter of the conflict, what he saw there changed his mind— prompting him to help found Vietnam Veterans Against the War. “I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones,” he told Meet the Press. “I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used fifty calibre machine guns... I took part in search and destroy missions,

politicians. We’ve forgotten the million-plus people we killed to prop up a right-wing puppet dictatorship. And militarism is in the air.

Vietnam has been rehabilitated, and no one has done more to rewrite this history than John Kerry.

When Kerry reappeared on Meet the Press in 2001, the new rightist paradigm prompted him to back down from his original comments: “I don’t stand by the genocide. I think those were the words of an angry young man. We did not try to do that. But I do stand by the description—I don’t even believe there is a purpose served in the word ‘war criminal.’ I really don’t.”

The Kerry campaign has played both sides of the Vietnam equation. He scores points both as a pacifist hippie and as a Silver Starwinning war hero! Choose whichever Kerry you prefer—1969 or 1971 or 2004—and vote for whichever version you like best.

Serious people and historians know that Kerry was right the first time around. Like Iraq, Vietnam was an ill-conceived, doomed war that wasted countless lives for no good reason, launched by a president who lied about a Cold War threat (the absurd “domino theory”) that simply didn’t exist. As U.S. troops are doing now in Iraq, we committed horrific atrocities in Vietnam.

Not only did the guys in black pajamas beat us fair and square, we deserved it. We were wrong. We deserved to lose. Service in the wars against Vietnam and Iraq are nothing to be proud of. If John Kerry can’t admit now what he knew in 1971, at least he can stop bragging about his medals. MTW

There is a constellation of art traffic on Lahaina’s Front Street.

Wheelers and dealers have shops, galleries and kiosks selling everything from “primitive art and Hawaiian collectibles” to Ringo Starr lithographs. You can get little hula dolls, garishly painted coconuts and other assorted Hawaiiana.

Impressive, high quality sculpture shares space with syrupy, mass-produced Thomas Kinkade pieces. Sunburned tourists, in Maui for their ritual 14 days of leisure, pour out of lumbering cruise ships and disperse throughout town, looking bored and dehydrated.

Amidst this carnival, Mani Lavaka sits patiently with a hunk of wood nestled securely between his feet. Tik-tak-tik-tak, the distinctive sound of wood chiseling fills the air as you get closer.

Mani is making a tiki.

“I learn from my faddah,” he tells me in between chugs of orange soda. His cousins, Sione

rent per month. On a good day, like when a cruise ship docks or during Christmas, they can do three times that. The tourists are looking for a little island authenticity, some contained savageness. Buying a little tiki statue does the trick.

But the clan didn’t just come to Maui. They also went to Oakland.

At least a few of Mani’s 10 uncles live in Oakland, as do many other thousands of Tongans and Samoans. They are an unknown, quiet cultural phenomenon of West Coast cities. The first casualty of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake was Anamafi Halangahu, a nurse’s aide and Tongan immigrant. When King Taufa’ahau Tupou IV visited the Oakland community years ago, he stayed at the Lavakas Oakland home. Mani, however, prefers the island life.

“It’s kind of different,” he says dismissively when asked if he likes San Francisco.

The customers arrive. An Iranian couple strolls buy, the

the silence with a joke and the whole lot of them burst into frantic laughter leaving the tourist customers looking bewildered.

This exchange is common. Most of their day seems to revolve around drinking pop, laughing, sitting down, making jokes, eating, hustling for sales, interrupted by sporadic chiseling, carving and bartering with pale vacationers in white floppy hats.

Very soon we are joined by a small procession of round Tongans, all smiles and jokes, led by a terrifyingly large man with silver teeth and clad in a lavalava. In fact, the entire time we are talking, cars honk from Front Street, shaka signs are flashed, friendly “recognition” whistles are whistled.

“My cousins,” says a grinning Mani. There is an easy-going, slapstick kind of humor that resonates with the Tongans.

“Witout de eyes, mean good luck, wit de eyes, proteckshun!”

Fetele solemnly tells me,

Mini Tiki Dynasty Hanging out with the guys who carve and Fetele Matele solemnly nod approval. It’s a family thing. Their cousins all do it, uncles, brothers, etc. The Lavaka’s are Tongans.

“I didn’t know they had those in real life,” one of them says.

A noisy squadron of Japanese tour groups, all wearing the same bizarre outfit, descend on the tiki stand, snapping cameras wildly.

After Mani gives a brief demonstration on how to carve a tiki, the Japanese break into enthusiastic applause.

One couple gazes at the tikis, then one of the Tongans breaks

explaining the meaning of the tikis. “Dey are representing de high gods, yah?”

In his journals, Captain James Cook mentioned the tiki, writing, “there was a little figure roughly carved out of stone near the pyramid; it is the only example we have seen among these peoples.” Tiki’s meaning is infamously hard to define.

Archeologists and ethnologists have always had a rough time

being analytical about ancient south pacific societies.

Polynesian civilization was of an oral tradition. The only written documentation available to scholars was that of missionaries so having a nonpartisan, anthropological framework to work within was virtually impossible.

Most evidence suggests that tiki was an anthropomorphic creation meant to symbolize a variety of things: Deified ancestors, the ideal man and, as Fetele told me, the high gods. Tiki straddled that line that divides art and religion and oftentimes Polynesians both revered and feared the statues, believing the tiki had mana. The design of the tikis would suggest the creators seemed to be searching for the archetype of the ideal man combining strength, potency and beauty into one unified idol. The expressive, prominent face of the tiki was the essential element: Flaring nostrils, proud, jutting chin under the fierce grimace, all topped off by a pair of those huge, unblinking eyes.

The wood for the tikis starts its journey in Hana, where the Lavaka boys pick it up. “Special wood, good to carve,” they tell me. From there it is shipped and cut into managable parts at the Lavakas home in Waiehu. Right before they tiki it, it is just a giant hunk of wood. Then the carver softly etches out a little face, teeth, eyes.

“We take dis wood, see? Den we make like dis,” Mani shows me, sketching the outlined face of the future tiki onto a hunk of wood about two feet tall. “Den we take de chisel and put de wood hea, see?” he demonstrates, thrusting the block of wood in between his feet. Then the process of chiseling begins.

Tik-tak-tik-tak.

“Small one taking tree days, big one, maybe one week, ha!”

Mani shouts over the rhythmic tik and tak.

After it is satisfactorily carved, it must be lacquered, a process that gives it is sheen, smooth look. The process is done using a paintbrush. I watch as one of the Tongans, frowning studiously in concentration, brushes lacquer on the little tiki, looking remarkably like a Polynesian Dutch boy.

Still, for all this time and effort, the prices aren’t exorbitant. A small, starter tiki runs

about $20 bucks, a large, grandiose, elaborate tiki will set you back over a grand. The work can be custom made. If you stop by the stand and you would like to have something special hooked up, Mani and the boys can help you.

The stand is open a biblical six days a week with Sunday allotted for the Lavakas to worship at the Mormon Church. Yes, dear readers, the Lavakas are diehard Tongan Mormons. Mormonism has been the quintessential American religion, but over the last 20 years, missionaries have been making inroads in the south Pacific. His brother, in fact, is a missionary. Mani, too, is set up to go on his Mormon mission sometime next year.

“I want to go somewhere different” he says, “I want to go somewhere where I can learn anottah language. I want to go to Japan.”

“An’ don’ foget, small one tiki, big one tikitiki,” a chubby and giggling Tongan shouts to me as I leave, the last word jumping from his mouth like a hot tomale.

I am writing this story in a tiki bar in Kihei, The Voo-Doo Lounge. I am drinking out of a tiki glass in a presumably tikified atmosphere. This is a scene now, this tiki subculture.

American hep cats have recycled Polynesian iconography and mythology into a kitsch subculture of exaggerated tackiness and borrowed symbols.

While tiki mythology was born in the happy isles of Oceania, tiki subculture is a mainland, American thing.

In every major American West Coast city, there is a tight knit tiki scene that is at once bohemian and tightly knit with an extensive consortium of dress, lingo, cocktail lounges and musical Exotica. Tiki aficionados head to the Cha-Cha Lounge in Seattle, Wakiki Wallys in New York, The Lava Lounge in Los Angeles and, the immortal Trader Vics in Beverly Hills.

The Polynesia here is neon and comic book—all coconuts and blue lagoons. Mainland cities, you see, are a pastiche of narrow niche subcultures. There are hipsters of all kinds. Lounge lizards and Hot Rod greasers jostle for space of the bohemian circuit with the Modern Primitive existentialists and the Rockabilly revivalists.

Tiki culture thrives on kitsch.

Not that that’s a bad thing, after all, as Milan Kundera reminds us in The Unbearable Lightness of Being: “None of us are strong enough to escape kitsch completely. It is an integral part of the human condition.”

I believe the reality is somewhere in between. My experience has been more Boo Yaa Tribe than Blue Hawaii. The truth is that Polynesian culture has always been a contentious topic for outsiders to understand. Tiki enthusiasts in San Francisco sentimentalize the region as all swirling Mai Tai’s and benign palm trees, the cruise boat crowds see it as an escape. I think the wisest analysis comes from anthropologist Dr. Yoshiko Sinoto, who said simply that Polynesia is gone. MTW

Foie Gras Fantasy The romantic French dining experience of Chez Paul From the moment I saw him, I knew he would fulfill my every need. The way his freshly pressed button-up shirt clung to his muscular toned arms. The way his almond-shaped eyes crinkled at the edges when he smiled. The way his large, smooth hands held my plate of Foie Gras Frais De Canard (imported duck liver terrine with toasted brioche, $26).

“Your foie gras, madame,” he said as he gently set down my first course of the evening. “Would you like another glass of the white Bordeaux?”

I looked up at him and for a moment, our eyes locked. My heart began racing and I felt the flush of hunger overtake me. I wanted to tell him my appetite was insatiable.

That only he could provide the respite I needed. In a panic, I reached for the bread and stuffed a hot, buttered Chez Paul is located in Olowalu, about four morsel into my miles south of Lahaina.

Spanish manchego cheese, poached Asian pears and a tangy, tickle-the-taste-buds, raspberry mustard vinaigrette. Pierre nodded his approval and said he would return to continue his tireless pursuit of our ultimate satisfaction.

And our next course.

The scent that accompanied Pierre’s arrival was intoxicating. The crispy, slow-roasted duck with black currant sauce (Canard Au Cassis, $36) and the Pacific Salmon carmelized with Shoyu and Grand Marnier, with a citrus beurre blanc (Saumon Du Pacific Au Grand Marnier Et Soja, $29) filled the air with a delicious anticipation.

We devoured our meals with wild abandon. I could see Pierre watch us from the dining room, tempting us with his professional servitude.

After our entrée dishes were cleared, Pierre again left momentarily. We were full but not yet satisfied. Our eager, hungry eyes poured over the dessert menu. Do we complete our pleasure with crème brulee (La Crème Brulee Dans L’Ananas, $9)? Or fulfill our experience with an apple-banana cobbler and coconut ice cream (Le Clafoutis, $9)?

As minutes passed, I could no longer contain my wanton lust. I was aching in agony with burning need… an unquenched desire—I must… have… CHOCOLATE! “Might I suggest Le Gateau Au Chocolat Chaud ($9)?”

Soon I found myself wrapping my lips around spoonfuls of hot, oozing chocolate as I felt the coolness of vanilla ice cream slide slowly down my throat.

EMPLOYEE OF THE

WEEK

AS TOLD BY JAIME CHERUNDOLO

Louise Stillwell Co-Owner, Stillwell’s Bakery & Café It was 1:30 a.m. and I heard pounding on the house walls. Obviously we didn’t hear the doorbell. I hear this pounding, look outside, and see two or three police cars. I woke Roy and he was ready in two minutes flat, but by that time things were over.

After the fire, the doorbell rang for four or five days and people were showing up with food, drinks, pizzas. It was amazing.

Roy usually goes in at midnight to bake so we’re ready by 6 a.m. when the wholesalers pick up their things. The morning of the fire, he’d slept in a little bit because he didn’t have much to do. Funny how things happen. But now we can re-do things, make things a little bit cuter, and I’ve been jotting down ideas for a revised menu.

The most important thing is the people, especially on Maui, in Central Maui, because it’s such a small community. There are so many nice, wonderful people and we try to take care of them. Service and accommodation are everything. If they’re happy, we’re happy.

It’s been 11 long years. Roy and I had been in the hotel industry. He’s been a pastry chef most of his life. I started at the Hyatt Regency Maui as a secretary, moved up to assistant restaurant manager for the coffee shop, and covered all areas over the next 18 years. Together we’ve worked in five or six hotels. One day Roy said, “Let’s get out. Let’s take a chance.”

Fortunately, it turned out. Space was limited so we did sandwiches and salads— healthier than plate lunches.

The recipes are Roy’s that he’s collected throughout the years. I manage the food area.

It’s hard work, long hours, and a lot of pressure. Sometimes I think about going back to work for someone else—eight hours and you’re done. But in the end, having your own business is quite rewarding.

We’ll be there another 10 years. We signed a new lease and anticipate re-opening in January, so we’ve got another 10. A long 10 and we look forward to it. MTW

CALENDAR Maui Chefs on Broadway!

Friday, 6:30-10 p.m. at Hyatt Regency in Kaanapali [FOOD] Every year, some of the finest chefs of Maui gather in this pre-Taste of Lahaina, gala benefit dinner to showcase their culinary expertise under the stars, oceanside.

But that’s not all! You see, they do it also with a theme—we love themes! This year it’s “Broadway on the Beach – A Night of Show-Stopping Cuisine.” That means each chef and their booth will be decked out in the setting from famous Broadway musicals, like Grease, The Phantom of the Opera, The King and I and South Pacific. Cute, hunh?!

The exquisite resulting dinner will be prepared in separate dishes by these costumed chefs, along with wines and cocktails, souvenirs and a silent auction. And, of course, it’s all for a good cause—other than for your belly, anyway—Portions of the proceeds benefit Maui community and youth groups, including school programs like Na Mele O Maui.

Tickets are $105—call the LahainaTown Action Committee office at 667-9175 for more info. [SAMANTHA CAMPOS]

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

by Samantha Campos

Hard & Heavy

World Beats

Friday, 10 p.m. at Hapa’s [MUSIC] Hapa’s is starting—or thinking about starting—a monthly punk/metal/hard rock night. Good idea, yeah? Well, I know lots of you out there think so. And so it’s time to put your ass where your mouth is... um, what I mean is, it would behoove you to head over to Hapa’s this Friday and check out some hard rockin’ tune-age from our local metal heroes: Zero Tolerance and Metal X. Yeah.

Electric Rock

Friday, 10 p.m. at Casanova [MUSIC] Hmm... Friday— Friday—Friday! What is up with all these FRIDAY club happenings?! Haven’t we already discussed this physical inconvenience?!!

Forgive me. Anyway, have you been to one of these “Six Degrees Nights” at Casanova yet? They’re pretty fun actually. There’s lots of dancing and even some performances, live percussion and DJ El Gato spinning the best in world rhythms and sounds or “global fusion grooves,” as he likes to call it. That guy Hai Dai will provide the visuals and there will be giveaways in the form of CDs, posters and vinyl.

Cool stuff.

Friday, 10 p.m. at the Hard Rock Cafe [MUSIC] Well, I’ll be!

There is original rock on Maui! And where there’s original rock, there’s belly-dancing too, apparently. At least, that’s what the boys of Volt think, so they’ve got a special performance by Mirage (pictured, obviously) in store for ya, as well as special guests The Maui Wowees. All for a mere five bucks. Not bad.

‘Coffee and Cigarettes’ Wednesday, 5 & 7:30 p.m. at the Castle Theater [FILM] Jim Jarmusch makes the best f@#*ing films. Ever. Do you know who he is? He’s the writer/producer/director behind indie classics Stranger Than Paradise, Down by Law and Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.

If you haven’t seen these films, you should. But meanwhile, check out his latest, Coffee and Cigarettes. It’s a series of shorts—good for you short attention span people—based around the act of drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes, and involving the unpredictable conversations that occur when you pair up Tom Waits with Iggy Pop, or Steven Wright with Roberto Benigni, or rappers Rza and Gza (of the Wu-Tang Clan) with Bill Murray, or Cate Blanchett with... uh, Cate Blanchett. See, she plays herself and herself as another part of herself...

She’s two characters but really the same... oh, never mind. Just go see the movie.

I see stars! ry England. When Becky visits the wealthy estate of her best friend Amelia’s (Ramola Garai) betrothed husband George Osborne (Jonathan Rhys Meyers—Velvet Goldmine) the audience is assailed with parrots, peacocks and Indian servants anxious to serve up spicy dishes of Indian food. The sequence comes off as a brief propaganda detour of some imagined yet nonexistent ideological significance.

The world outside of the immediate story is treated too casually to stir excitement or empathy. When Napoleon’s abrupt attack on Waterloo interrupts a fancy ball where Becky’s soldier husband (Purefoy) awaits battle, we never see the famous French commander or the military struggles that should set the tone for Becky’s anxious bid at aligning herself with London’s ruling class. This lack of attention to social context, coupled with Becky’s breezy demeanor, bleeds the story of its apparent dramatic weight and leaves behind something closer to a costume comedy for blue-haired ladies in need of a break from their knitting.

From the ostentatious costumes by designer Beatrix Aruna Pasztor (Wonder Boys) to the annoying male hairstyles that permeate every scene, Vanity Fair is a movie that depends on its overall visual effect to hypnotize audiences into overlooking the film’s plot vandalism of Thackeray’s book. A suspicious character says of Becky Sharp that she “thought she was a social climber, but now sees that she’s a mountaineer.”

But the marble stairs that our contemptible protagonist climbs seem few and fraught with little danger save a stubbed toe or a broken fingernail. Vanity is, after all, never fair. MTW

MOVIECAPSULES MAUI FILM FESTIVAL’S CANDLELIGHT CAFÉ & CINEMA Wednesday, September 8 Coffee and Cigarettes 5 & 7:30 p.m., Castle Theater Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Tom Waits, The White Stripes, Alfred Molina and Steve Buscemi, among many others, star in this exquisitely photographed comic series of short vignettes in which director Jim Jarmusch delves into the normal pace of the world from an extraordinary angle, showing just how absorbing the obsessions, joys and addictions of life can be. "A movie FULL of talk -- rich, supple, hilarious, masterfully orchestrated talk" wrote Entertainment Weekly.

"Delightful!" (Hollywood Reporter). "A Rare Gem!" (LA Times). Rated R. 96 min.

New This Week THE COOKOUT – (PG 13) – Comedy – Think Hoop Dreams plus a little Barbershop, then a sprinkle of He Got Game and all mixed in with a truckload of clichéd characters. This is the tale of the NBA’s number one draft pick who’s now loaded with endorsements and a $30 million New Jersey Nets contract. So he throws a cookout party for his family to celebrate. Get it? He’s rich, but he’s also an African-American who now lives with a bunch of stuffy white people. How do they come up with this stuff? Stars Storm P, Danny Glover and Farrah Fawcett.

NAPOLEON DYNAMITE – (PG) – Comedy – A cult classic already because of the screening at the Wailea Film Festival this year, Napoleon Dynamite is about a red afrod-ed, dorky teenager who sells herbal breast enhancers door-to-door while practicing his dance moves and learning the way of the ninja as he helps his new best friend win the election for Student Body President. This is kind of a coming-of-age story but it’s hilarious so go see it, you big fat turd! Gawwwsh!

PAPARAZZI – (PG 13) – Thriller – A young, hot movie star (Cole Hauser) and his beautiful wife (Robin Tunney) are just minding their own business one day, driving along being beautiful when four evil paparazzi photographers surround them and cause a car crash, which injures said wife, leaving said young, hot movie star to exact revenge on the shutterbugs. This is normally the part where I’d make a joke about how this should have been called The Tony Danza Story, but I’m afraid he’ll use it as an excuse to take revenge on me, so I won’t.

SUSPECT ZERO – (R) – Crime/Triller – An FBI agent played by Aaron Eckhart tracks a serial killer played by Ben Kingsley who likes to prey on other serial killers and may also be psychic. Watch for Wailea’s own real-life remote viewing guy and film technical adviser Ed Dames—Dr. Doom to his friends—in a bit part as a, um, FBI remote viewing guy. Also stars that chick from The Matrix.

VANITY FAIR – (PG-13) – Drama – Reese Witherspoon stars in this period piece about a street urchin who uses her feminine wiles to get to the highest rungs of the social ladder in 1820 London. Will she find happiness in her newfound social acceptance? Or will she discover that’s it’s lonely at the top?

WICKER PARK – (PG-13) – Romantic Thriller – So this investment banker played by Josh Hartnett has a girlfriend who he really loves until one day she suddenly disappears so he goes and tries to find her but he can’t so he tires of the search and decides to settle down and try to forget about her but he can’t but then one day he thinks he sees her in this café so he freaks out and becomes obsessed and now that I think about it wasn’t this Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo?

Also stars Matthew Lillard.

LETTERS

NEWS

COVER STORY

SURF

maceutical company sends beautiful people into the jungle looking for the legendary Blood Orchid that supposedly holds the key to eternal life. Good news it exists, bad news it’s being guarded by giant, murderous snakes who don’t want to give it up. Hey, it could happen. Sure, stuff like that happens all the time. You just don’t hear about it. Stupid liberal media. Stars a bunch of people you never heard of.

ALIEN VS. PREDATOR (PG13) – Science Fiction/Action – This landmark 5-4 Supreme Court decision from the final years of the often controversial Warren Court stipulated that in times of crisis involving scary monsters from space that drool acid and kill things really, really fast, humanity is pretty much screwed. How they converted Justice Felix Frankfurter’s dry, legalistic rhetoric that into a movie starring Lance Henriksen is beyond me.

BOURNE SUPREMACY - (PG13) - Action/Adventure - Think James Bond, but pissed off in a Fugitive kind of way. Jason Bourne (Matt Damon at his emotionally emptiest) is an ex-American assassin who’s tired of killing foreign leaders and just wants to live with this German girlfriend (Franka Potente) in peace. But his former employer isn’t too keen on the retirement plans. Yeah, that was pretty much the first movie, Bourne Identity, but who cares.

Also stars Brian Cox and Julia Stiles.

COLLATERAL - (R) - Crime/Thriller - This Michael Mann film stars Jamie Foxx as a washed-up comedy writer-turned cabbie and Tom Cruise as a pontificating assassin. The movie takes place over one night as Foxx drives Cruise around from hit to hit. People get killed, Foxx delivers a few one-liners, and then everyone looks slick and stylish as they chase each other through L.A. Also stars Jada Pinkett-Smith.

EXORCIST: THE BEGINNING - (R) - Horror - The film traces the story of Father Lankester Merrin (Stellan Skarsåard) back to his first encounter with the Devil in post-WW II Africa. Scary, scary antics ensue.

Creepy, creepy cinematics will terrify and delight.

Here’s hoping, anyway.

HERO – (PG13) – Action/Adventure. Jet Li stars in this martial arts movie that Yahoo! Movies blurb describes as, “In a distant war torn land, a ruthless emperor is rising to power with an iron fist and his massive armies. To control everything, he will stop at nothing.”

Yeah, distant—try our country under George W. Bush.

Anyway, Li kicks ass—I’m not being metaphoric here—so it’ll be fun.

I, ROBOT - (PG-13) - Science Fiction/Adventure - This Will Smith vehicle is set far enough in the future when thousands of creepy human-looking robots can talk and walk around and go to the mall and stuff and everyone doesn’t get all freaked out over it. Based on sci-fi author Isaac Asimov’s classic collection of short stories of the same name, the movie follows Smith’s detective character as he tries to prove a robot violated its basic programming and willingly committed a crime. Also stars hottie Bridget Moynahan.

LITTLE BLACK BOOK - (PG13) - Comedy/Romance - Brittany Murphy stars as an associate producer for a daytime talk show who gets frustrated when her boyfriend (Ron Livingston) won’t talk about his past relationships. Geez, usually you can’t get them to shut up about them! Anyway, using the show’s resources, she seeks out and interviews his exes and typically, finds out more than she wanted to.

OPEN WATER - (R) - Thriller – This one’s real simple: Couple goes on vacation, goes scuba diving, couple gets left behind, floats for two hours in the middle of the ocean while sharks and other scary things get closer and closer. It’s tough to say anything more without giving away the ending, but what do you think would happen to a couple left out there all by their lonesome? Stars Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis.

PRINCESS DIARIES 2: ROYAL ENGAGEMENT (G) - Romantic Comedy - Another reality-based concept of a common girl who discovers her inheritance to the throne as a princess and has to suffer the consequences, like learning to ride horses side-saddle. In this sequel, Princess Mia discovers that she not only must take over ruling her new country but she’s got to find herself a man to stand behind her in marriage before she does so. This movie is just crawling with backhanded fantasies posing as feminist ideals, isn’t it?

SPIDERMAN 2 - (PG13) - Science-Fiction/Adventure Basically your classic superhero popcorn flick, but with way more style and substance than you normally find in the genre. Picking up where the first movie left off, Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is racked with uncertainty over his job, secret life of costumed crime-fighting and inability to have a more or less normal relationship with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst). It doesn’t help matters that he also has to put away the wretched but dangerous Dr. Octopus (Alfred Molina).

I’ll use my bow/staff skills SUPER BABIES: BABY GENIUSES 2 - (PG) Family Comedy - Four talking toddlers turn superhero spies in order to save the world from an evil, mind-controlling, media mogul. And I hear one of the toddlers is up for best supporting actor for this one.

WITHOUT A PADDLE - (PG13) - Comedy - Think Deliverance, but not as funny. Seth Green, Matthew Lillard and Dax Shepard play three guys who take a canoe into the Oregon wilderness looking for treasure but finding dangerous hunters, hippie chicks, wild rapids and some crazy old coot played by Burt Reynolds who starred in, among other movies, Deliverance.

YU-GI-OH! THE MOVIE - (PG)- Science Fiction/Animation – Impressive Japanese anime picture not to be confused with the universally panned Yu-Gi-Oh! The Musical. Like all impressive Japanese anime pictures, this one involves a Battle City Tournament, the awakening of an ancient evil, revenge, a mysterious alter ego and something referred to as “the power of the Eighth Millennium Item.” Should be a kick-ass show.

I read the young man’s First, are we not supposed to look at sunsets nametag and asked Jordan, “Have you ever on Maui? Damn, am I in trouble. Second, heard of [Smug Famous Boy]?” “Nope,” he where else would one look for the green replied. The internet confirmed this after a flash—at the moon? And third, it was noon, Google search of the reputedly famous name. Not a single hit.

The Maui Writers Conference is different from other conferences: People look happy here, even those far enough from home to wear rubbah slippahs with socks and ties with aloha shirts. Yet as a poet, I too am a little out of place at a conference calibrated for million-dollar deals of genre fiction, movies, and self-help books, so I invited my publisher Jordan Jones to join me. He proved to have a good ear for the absurd words of writers—what does that say about me?—and was a lightning rod for amusing comments.

One frantic middle-aged author, desperate for attention, stopped us when he heard Jordan say he was a publisher.

“You’re a publisher?” he panted, and after Jordan’s reticent affirmative, he asked, “Do you publish other people’s books?”

We didn’t laugh, but we did smile.

Still, in these days, when money is more available than good sense to get words into print, such a question doesn’t seem so strange.

At a writers’ conference, cell phones, humorous as they are, are dangerous. Not only do they cause accidents, humiliate owners in important sessions, and generate brain cancer—if you believe that, I have a little blue bottle containing the miracle cure suppressed by our government—they appear to lower the IQ’s of users by making them say ridiculous things in crowded public venues. Some very important people attend the Maui Writers Conference, people who need to be available to New York, Hollywood, San Francisco, Paris, and Paia at a moment’s notice.

the sun was directly overhead, so what was the frickin’ emergency?

As Jordan and I cruised into Tami Hoag’s Sunday morning session, we passed a woman on a cell phone who said, “I found two boxes of underwear. Is that okay?” Jordan and I agreed we would certainly grant her permission to locate entire cartons if she was really as distressed as she sounded. Writers simply should not be caught at a conference with their supply of underpants down.

Fine working writers that we are, Jordan and I naturally ended up in the bar by 3:30, he with a tropical libation topped with pineapple slice and paper umbrella, and I with a tall glass of cranberry juice. Bars are magnets for people who want to get away from the noisy business of publishing and movie-making, so naturally they bring their cell phones.

For as any drunk or bar belle knows, every table has its own version of Maxwell Smart’s beloved “Cone of Silence,” so no one more than a hundred feet away can hear your conversation.

When a cell phone pinged out electronic tones of “The Pink Panther” at a table nearby, the man there showed his lamentable taste by answering. He affirmed that he was indeed waiting at the bar. His caller was apparently occupied in a restroom 14 steps beyond the bar because the conversation swiftly degenerated.

After a discussion graphic enough to embarrass Chris Rock, our cellphony said yes, he had ordered food already, then for the benefit of us not part of the Verizon network, he yelled into the phone, “What is the word for cocktails?

NOTICES

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Before you head to the pharmacy to pick up some sore throat spray and lip balm, consider another solution: stop talking so much. Chattering on about your problems isn’t helping you (or anyone else). Sometimes, it is useful to engage in dialogues about what’s up in your life; bouncing ideas and feelings off another person can help you figure out just what to do. But this ain’t one of those times, and you know it. What you’re supposed to be doing is obvious and, at this point, unignorable. Your gabber is pure procrastination (and, in some cases, whining). Sshhh. Time to get to work.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) You know this storm won’t last long. Its very ferocity has determined its fleeting lifespan. The torrent of grey rain pounding on your windows may seem like a devastating hurricane, but you’ll actually glimpse blue skies within the hour. Please be patient. You could still get struck by lightning if you venture outdoors; instead, hunker down and wait it out. Every once in a while, head to the window and humor the terrible thunderheads: “Oooh, you’re such a nasty mean storm.” Then chill for a while; if you don’t react by generating a storm of your own, you’ll be in good shape once this one blows over—nothing but rainbows and daffodils for days.

My boyfriend is having a contest of wills with the dog, who’s too big to manhandle into the bathtub, but instead must be coerced and coaxed to enter it of his own accord. I can’t help but be reminded of your situation: you, too, can’t simply force what you want to happen; you need to finesse it. Forego, utterly, the use of brute muscle; with that technique you’ll just get bitten, or a hernia. Bribery, deception, and begging are all fair game. But I’ve found that what often works best is simply asking for what you want.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) The most dramatic thing about a butterfly is not its technicolor wingspan, or peculiar, fluttering flight. It’s the metamorphosis it undergoes on its way to that beauty, from many-legged monstrosity to flowery grace. I wouldn’t presume to try to guess where you’ll be at this time next year, or what you’ll be. You might not even be better off than you are now; even your notorious good luck isn’t enough to completely counteract or compensate for universal entropy. But I will say that you’ll be almost unrecognizably different, for the cocoon you’re spinning around yourself—each thread another mile of distance or degree of attitude—will leave you utterly transformed.

There’s no stopping you—and who’d want to? But there is missing you; so clue in the people who’ll miss you the most about when they can expect you—albeit transfigured—back.

A public health message provided by The Maui AIDS Foundation.

SINGING TELEGRAMS

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Give it up. There’s one wish you’re making that’s so fanciful (and simply not in line with the known universe) that it simply can’t come true. You might as well be dreaming of befriending a magical talking horse. In other words, this kind of fantasy can be hilariously entertaining, but once you start feeling sad that it hasn’t manifested, you’re treading on dangerous ground, as well as wasting your time. No dream is too outlandish or messy, as long as it’s enhancing your experience of reality. But this particular reverie has fallen into the category of detracting from your life experience, especially because its pursuit is keeping you from other, more achievable dreams.

• Songs • Comedy • Flowers • Candy Respectful Kine 1-800-354-8608

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) You’re growing like a weed. I’m not talking about your limbs, but your spirit; lately it’s been sending shoots in every direction; curious, probing tendrils seeking more sunlight and nourishment of all kinds. Cool. I’ve been waiting for you to notice that you’re slowly starving to death on the diet you’ve maintained for the last year or so. It’s impolite to point out to someone that they’ve been wasting away, especially when you’re not sure why. I have some hunches, but they’re all irrelevant now that you’re ready to open yourself up to new ways of feeding your soul and new experiences for it to expand into. Let me know when you’re ready to flower and bear fruit. I want some.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Self-promote this week. Usually you’re too shy, humble, or diplomatic to engage in this kind of behavior, but sometimes it’s the only way to let people know what you’re about and what you can do. This isn’t about selling yourself or convincing anyone of anything—notions you find repugnant. It’s just about clueing people in to what you’re capable of, in case they might be interested. Once you’ve gently lobbed this ball into a number of other courts, your suspicions will be sadly confirmed when the vast majority of them don’t respond; but delightfully contradicted when a surprising number of them do.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Tough love is the name of this week’s game. Just make sure it’s universally applied. While it’s true that several of those in your inner circle at times have needed to be practically forced to do what was required (and often what they really wanted to do, but were scared to try), they’re not the only ones. You, too, have been stopping well short of your semi-arbitrary limit. Sadly, there’s no one like you in your life who’ll shove you in the right direction whenever you balk or stall. Do yourself the harsh kindness you so often visit upon those you love, and give yourself a good, uncompromising, motivational kick in the ass this week.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) If I were an alien capable of interstellar travel, wanting to observe Earth, I wouldn’t bother with some clumsy Star Trekkian method, involving beaming down to the planet, actually interacting with the humans, and inevitably fucking shit up. I’d send down microscopic airborne probes, or observe from a neighboring dimension, or something far less intrusive. I can’t help believing they’d be capable of it, just as you’re capable of handling much more refined tools and techniques than the ones you’ve been using. Forego your silly and simply Cro-Mag methods.

They’ll inevitably mess with your results, and make you look ridiculous in the process. Screw the bull-in-thechina-shop Taurean stereotype. We both know you’re capable of subtlety. Now show everyone else as much.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Don’t let one small-minded asshole fuck things up for you. They’re not worthy of that much attention. That’s like forever abstaining from your favorite restaurant because of one bad waitress; it hurts you a lot more than it hurts her (not at all) or the restaurant itself (only a little). You’re risking a lot of self-spite just to prove a point that no one else is likely to get. “It’s the principle of the thing!” you may protest. Well, principles are all well and good, but please play a deeper game than the one you’ve planned, one that will minimize your suffering and maximize your point.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) There’s a price on your head. You’re not about to be stealthily murdered in the dead of night or anything (if I could predict that kind of thing, I’d be a wealthy man). But there are those who are willing to take somewhat less drastic (but nearly as effective) measures to take you out of the picture. Luckily, they’re clumsy and stupid, so now that you’re alert to their unsubtle machinations, you can simple sidestep them without much fuss. Don’t bother with revenge or anything so tedious. Your success (and their failure to prevent it) is revenge enough for their ill intentions.

If not now, when?

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Quit polarizing the picture. It’s very tempting to make one person out to be the villain and the other the innocent victim of that villainy (or, better yet, the heroic Bringer of Truth and Cutter of Bullshit). But neither of you is actually an evil fuckhead trying to screw the other over. You’re just coming from different places, which makes resolution of the conflict more low-key than you imagined: a discussion, instead of an epic battle. Resist the appeal of trying to make this—like so many other facets of your life—into a scene from a movie, and just deal with it appropriately instead.

…

Last Friday after work, I went home to prepare dinner. The package of Stouffer’s Beef Stroganoff said 38 minutes but I cooked it an extra five minutes in the oven, just to be safe.

When it was done, I sat in front of the large screen TV in our living room and watched Jerry McGuire, which was on HBO On Demand.

Halfway into the movie, I received a phone call from my mom. We talked about how well my stepbrother in Las Vegas is doing as a craps dealer. I told my mom I had to finish writing something and I continued watching television.

After the movie ended, I browsed the TV guide twice, looking for something else to watch.

But I kept missing what was on Channel 88 so I had to keep scrolling. Then my roommate emerged from her bedroom to go to the bathroom. I went into the kitchen to get a couple bites of Ben & Jerry’s Brownie Dough ice cream.

My other roommate came home at midnight and woke me up. She told me to get off the couch and go to bed, which I did. But not before I brushed my teeth with Colgate and took my Bausch & Lomb disposable contacts out.

On Saturday morning, I woke up, made coffee and read The Maui News from the day before. There wasn’t any cream or sugar so I put a scoop of ice cream in my coffee. I took a shower and got dressed.

Then I went to the Lahaina Post Office and picked up a stack of student loan bills, credit card pre-approvals and various newsletters. Went to Foodland and picked out a Red Delicious apple and a lemon Yoplait yogurt. I rode my bike back home.

I put the apple and yogurt in the fridge and took out my roommate’s box of Vinny’s Pizza from the night before. Ate a slice cold and went back to bed.

Woke up around two, picked up the Best American Nonrequired Reading 2003 by my bed and finished a not-so-short story by Atlantic Monthly’s Mark Bowden about Saddam Hussein called “Tales of the Tyrant.” Vowed to read up on this year’s political candidates and change my voter’s registration address. Turned on the TV. Watched Jenna Jameson’s Confessions on VH-1 about the world’s most famous adult film star, who said she got into porn because she was lonely. I vowed to get out of bed soon.

Got a phone call from a friend telling me about a party down the street. Another call about a party Upcountry. Talked to a musician friend who was playing a show that night in Kihei. Went into living room to talk to roommates.

Discussed cleaning the house. Reminisced—or tried in vain to recollect—the nighttime events of last week. Contemplated this evening’s dinner and potential activities.

Laughed at roommate’s former cheerleading routine.

Together we watched MTV’s Real World/Road Rules Challenge and made powerless threats to each other from our slouched positions on the couch. One roommate tried to sing the words to Berlin’s “The Metro” then Blondie’s “One Way or Another” and Ricky Martin/William Hung’s “She Bang.” I went back to my room. Fell asleep before Saturday Night Live came on.

Woke up Sunday morning just before noon. Ate some Haagen-Daz Mango Sorbet, made fruit salad and roused roommate to ride bikes to Baby Beach.

We talked again about house cleaning, gossiped briefly about friends and lovers—or lack thereof—and compared aerola sizes and abdominal muscles in the mirror.

Later that day, I went to Java Jazz for some iced chai, picked up a Turkey Bacon Wrap at Subway and visited a pregnant friend to tell her about my exciting, single and carefree lifestyle. MTW
