Ask a Flakey Book Press Release Dear Flakey Book Press Release, My girlfriend and I don’t get into arguments that often, but last night we did. We were watching The Antiques Road Show like we always do, but right at the moment when the guy was supposed to tell the old lady that she’s been carefully preserving a piece of trash for the last four decades, she suddenly said that since we’ve been together for 11 years, we ought to get married.

Dear Shocked, The discipline of martial arts requires strength of mind, body and spirit. The student obeys the master and the master imparts wisdom and physical prowess… and so the ancient arts of fighting are learned. But what happens when the discipline of martial arts evolves into blind obedience and dangerous allegiance? That’s what William Self, a former martial arts studio owner and award-winning black-belt, explores in his new novel Blood & Tequila. Self, who owned and operated a successful martial arts studio on the island of Kauai for twelve years, takes a unique look at the dark side of martial arts with a haunting and disturbing portrayal of an unforgiving fanatical martial arts master, Omega, who leads a group of five students on an intense, near cult-like journey. Dear Flakey Book Press Release, What’s the capital of Saskatchewan? My brother says it’s Saskatoon, I say it’s Moose Jaw and our dad says we’re both stupid fools because it’s Regina. But

please hurry—I’ve got a lot of money riding on this one. -Canadaphile Dear Canadaphile, With shades of the moral confusion in Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, Blood & Tequila is a masterful work which probes life’s ambiguities and the strength of human bonds unlike virtually any other work. The author immediately draws the reader into the secretive, near-hypnotic world of extreme martial arts on the idyllic island of Kauai, which is being pummeled by Hurricane Iniki. As the island struggles against Iniki, so the students and master struggle to make choices reflective of their own internal moral struggles. Omega, the novel’s fanatical protagonist, eerily reminds the reader of what can wrong when one is so submerged in singular philosophies and purposes and loses touch with reality. Self writes: “Omega was a man torn away from reality a piece at a time, a walking contradiction revealed by an odd nature. Strangely, the more he was disapproved, the more he was accepted.” Dear Flakey Book Press Release, Are you actually alive? -Suspicious Dear Suspicious, Based upon the author’s own extensive experiences in the martial arts, Blood & Tequila is a fast-paced tale rife with lessons and examinations of the inherent conflicts between submission and personal freedom. When the lines between friendship, loyalty and obedience are blurred, a life and death struggle ensues, and the bonds of love and friendship are tested. MTW

ehbrah@mauitime.com You interviewed a local friend of mine for a possible job opening. Or, at least, you pretended to interview her. Everything apparently was going fine, until she asked you if she’d get the job. You said no because she was, as you put it, “too local.” Now I know this girl very well—she’s the best employee I have. Needless to say, she was devastated and saddened by this incredibly unprofessional and racist remark. When I asked if she would sue you, she said that she wouldn’t respond with the same lack of aloha. It’s people like you who destroy the spirit of aloha in the name of corporate image.

Keith and Rascale are a Lahaina institution Keith and Rascale first met about 12 years ago. Keith was a bartender at the Blue Lagoon and Rascale, a Harlequin Macquaw, was languishing in a pet shop on the stuffy third floor of the Lahaina Wharf Center. “I bought ‘im right then and there and he’s been with me ever since,” Keith shouts at me. He shouts everything he says. Keith is a big guy with a big head and long hair. Sitting in front of me at the counter of the Salvation Army, he cuts a dashing figure in blue surf shorts and a blue Salvation Army shirt with the sleeves cut,

muscle shirt style. For the past 35 years, he’s been getting up at 7 a.m. “sharp!” to start riding his bike up and down Front Street in Lahaina. Up and down, up and down, back and forth, “about a dozen times a day.” Everyone has seen Keith and Rascale. They are a Front Street institution. The first time I saw the duo, Keith was picking mangoes from someone’s yard and telling Rascale to “knock it off.” Rascale likes mangoes. He also likes pasta, ice cream, pizza and cake. “He likes what we like,” says Keith. “I try to keep him on nuts and fruits but he eats anything he can get his hands on. He eats my food, then he eats his food.”

The only thing Rascale doesn’t like is parrot food. “They have those pellets that parrots are supposed to like but he won’t touch the stuff.” When he isn’t riding his bike back and forth through Lahaina, Keith tends the counter at the Salvation Army. But while Keith is at work, Rascale stays at home. “He is too grouchy to be here,” says Keith as he rings up a giant inflatable dolphin, then barks “three bucks” at the customer. After he gets off work, Rascale “demands to go for a ride,” so off they go. Because the sun sets earlier now, they only go to Mala Wharf and hang out. But in the summer, Keith and Rascale go to Wahikuli Beach Park. “Yeah, you know, down by the Post Office,” says Keith. “Rascale likes it there.” They go and watch the sunset together. After being released from the Army in 1966, Keith says he decided to stay on the island. “It was too cold to go back to Huron [in South Dakota], so I figured what the hell, I’ll stay,” he says. “Good run but I spent more than half my time here in bars. Almost killed me. I don’t drink anymore, now I just tend the counter at the Salvation and ride with my bird.” Keith has to ride—he says he can’t walk because of his “two arthritic knees and cellulitus. “See when you got two bum knees you don’t have the luxury of limping,” he says. “You have to limp against your limp. Add on the cellulitus and there you go. If I don’t ride, I don’t go.” Keith will die before Rascale does. Harlequin Macaws can live as long as 60 years in the wild and twice that in captivity. Today Rascale is 12, but Keith is pushing 60. You do the math. “Yep, old Rascale will outive me,” says Keith. “He is too ornery not to.”

Wal-Mart is the biggest corporation in the world. Every week, 138 million people shop in its stores. The company’s annual revenues are equal to two percent of the U.S. gross domestic product. It employs 1.5 million people in nine nations, yet pays nearly all of them pathetic wages. And now, thanks to the Liquor Commission, Wal-Mart can sell booze in its Kahului outlet. The Commission approved the retail behemoth’s bid on Jan. 12, during its regular monthly hearing. It happened fairly early, after the general licensing matters that appear interminable on the agenda but actually take only a minute or two to dispense with but before the main block of public hearings. The news was so big that The Maui News wrote about it two days later—and they rarely even acknowledge that the LC exists. The Liquor Commission says it takes very seriously its responsibilities to make sure liquor licensees are sober and honest. Near the beginning of the Maui County Department of Liquor Control 2004 Annual Report is a brief discussion of the “system of strict licensing procedures and stringent controls over those licensed to conduct business in the liquor industry” that governs the LC. The phrasing may be terribly passive, but the thoughts behind it are strong. “The public can be assured of the highest standards of integrity and responsibility,” states the Report. “[T]he operations of the liquor industry [will be] conducive to the health, safety, and welfare of the community they serve.” Remember, this is the same commission that once voted to put rather harsh restrictions on the times the independently owned and operated restaurant Yorman’s by the Sea in Kihei could host live jazz bands. But when it comes granting a liquor license to Wal-Mart—a massive corporation that maximizes its profits by barely paying its working class employees—everything goes. I mean, there are stringent controls, and then there are “stringent controls.” MTW —Anthony Pignataro

THURSDAY, JAN. 20

For too long politicians have been silent on the issue of drugs and drug use. But not Lt. Governor James R. “Duke” Aiona. He thinks illegal drugs are bad, and he’s frankly not afraid to tell people. And really, thank God that at least one elected official is finally taking an anti-drug stance. Now, Duke Aiona wants a “balanced approach” to fighting drugs—wants it so bad he used the phrase four times in the press release he sent out yesterday. And what does that “balanced approach” include? Stuff like giving out longer prison terms, “modernizing” the state’s “grossly outdated electronic surveillance laws” and prohibiting the sale of “flasks, pipes, testing equipment”—Scales? Bunsen Burners? Autoclaves?—and other “drug paraphernalia.” Oh, and don’t forget tough, new “mandatory sentencing” laws—including a provision to force judges to sentence people who buy liquor for a minor to a year in jail. Say, Republicans like Aiona are always crying like little girls about so-called “activist” judges who, they say, “legislate from the bench”—usually in the area of civil rights, by trying to stop government from taking more and more of our civil rights. Yeah, that really puts Republican panties in a twist. Yet every chance they get, Republican lawmakers try to adjudicate from congress by passing mandatory sentencing laws that take away judicial powers. But hey—politics is all about the hypocrisy, right?

They’re still having a ball at all them Inaugural Balls in Washington, but Governor Linda Lingle decided to let all us press people know that she really thought George W. Bush’s speech today was peachy keen. And why shouldn’t she? Don’t all decent, good-hearted Americans care much more about a president’s words than his actions? “President Bush delivered a very powerful speech,” Her Majesty wrote, apparently agreeing with the president’s risky decision to denounce evil in all its forms. And she said her favorite part was when Dubya resolved to “end tyranny around the world.” And the good news is he’s going to start right here! Hey, just kidding, folks—Bush really has no plans to end any of our tyrannical actions like beating prisoners or invading sovereign nations which don’t actually pose a threat to us. Lingle also swooned when Dubya spoke of our nation’s youth. “I was also moved when the President reached out to the young people of our country and called upon them to look beyond individual desires”—awwwww yeaaaahhhhh—“and serve a cause of their choice and contribute to the character of our country,” she added. And she’s right, because no president has ever, ever asked young people to, oh, “ask what you can do for your country.” Oh wait, that was John F. Kennedy in 1961. My bad.

FRIDAY, JAN. 21 This afternoon—okay, it was two months ago, but who cares—I was talking to a friend about television reality shows. “I don’t watch any of them,” she said. “They’re all really awful.” At the time I agreed, but now—thanks to a press release Los Angeles-based Authentic Entertainment just sent me—I

That’s because the upcoming Mar. 7 episode of Vacation Home Search—the Travel Channel program that lets us common peasants watch real, live rich people buy vacation homes—will be about Deepak Chopra trying to buy a house on Maui. That’s right—THE Deepak Chopra! The Indian guy who traded in his successful Boston medical practice for a fabulously wealthy life peddling books, CDs and videos that claim people can heal diseases like cancer through “happy thoughts.” I’m so amazed that Chopra and his wife Kathleen are flying all the way here from Monte Sereno, California to buy a new… um, wait a sec— doesn’t Chopra live in San Diego? Oh, I get it. See, I didn’t read the whole thing: this is apparently about another Deepak Chopra. Apparently, this one is just some guy who owns his own business in Silicon Valley.

Now that’s just what we—and by “we,” I mean “big developers”—need. Let’s throw out our requirements for environmental impact studies and traffic analyses!

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD DRUNK TIMES Editor Frank Kelly Rich’s bimonthly tribute to overdrinking—the magazine Modern Drunkard—is a 50,000-circulation glossy “about drinking and only about drinking, and not just drinking, but heavy drinking,” he told the Los Angeles Times in January. Recent features included biographies of great drunks, a dictionary of bar slang, and a testimonial on how drinking cured one man’s fear of flying. “The most accomplished people,” Rich said, “have been drinkers.” He implied that people in the Middle East ought to drink more. Calling serious drinkers an “oppressed minority,” Rich said he himself has about eight drinks a day, sometimes up to 30—when he frequently blacks out. Said Rich’s wife, of her husband’s career, “When you find your calling, you have to go with it.”

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE Austrian artist Muhammad Mueller started a project in November, as political commentary, in which two people at a time dig a tunnel from the city of Graz to Gradec, Slovenia, 42 miles away, using only shovels. He estimated the venture would take 5,600 years. And in July, a federal appeals court rejected the Environmental Protection Agency’s leak-safety standards for the longawaited nuclear waste repository at Nevada’s Yucca Mountain. The EPA had found the proposed site safe until the year 12,000 A.D., but the court said that wasn’t long enough. In fact, it noted that one National Academy of Sciences report recommended protection until the year 302,000 A.D.

ACHIEVING THE PERFECT SOCIETY In the fall of 2004, Ron Nunn Elementary School in Brentwood, California ended its “Golden Circle” program, which officials soured on because it honored only kids with good grades, and established in its place the “Eagle Society,” which also celebrates personal, nonacademic achievements. The principal said he could not bear to see the sad faces of kids left out of the Golden Circle and wanted “all of our kids to be honored.” And in January the city council of Ota, Japan implemented a policy requiring male city workers to take six separate weeks of paid leave sometime before their new child’s first birthday so that, according to one official, “men [get] involved in raising children.”

WOMEN SCORNED Olga Abramovich, 49, was arrested in Brooklyn, New York in October and charged as the person who, in a rage, had painted as many as 20 swastikas on buildings and cars in predominantly Jewish neighborhoods. Police said Abramovich, a Christian, was upset that her ex-husband had re-married to a Jewish woman 14 years younger than she. And Julie Rose, 37, was convicted of assault in Yeovil, England in October for angrily slapping a new neighbor. The victim had apparently provoked Rose by declining her welcome-to-the-neighborhood suggestion that the Roses and the new couple engage in mate-swapping.

HAIR ON MAUI AS TOLD TO SAMANTHA CAMPOS

Anna Larson Hair stylist, Paragon Salon My mom has really fine, thin hair. When I was young, I had thick, blonde hair and she made me wear it long. Every morning, she would do my hair in every style possible: in curls, French braids, side twists, half-up/half-down, pigtails and then the waving iron. I just wanted to cut my hair. I remember seeing the boys by the bus stop in the ‘80s, with their bowl cut, platinumblonde-on-top-and-black-underneath hairdos and I wanted that. But I wasn’t allowed to even cut my hair until the sixth grade. And then I cut it up to my ears. My mom had this hairstylist named Australia, who would talk about boys and cuss with me. I thought she was so cool ‘cause she was the first person to talk to me like I wasn’t just a kid. In high school, I wanted to cut my hair even shorter but we compromised with an asymmetrical cut. Then sophomore year, I started bleaching and getting really obsessed with hair. I started going to a stylist named Tammy. She was the coolest—she had red lipstick and a purse with a voodoo doll and fringe on it. I was 14 years old. I began planning cuts and colors for every month. I did my 1,600 hours of beauty school and got an apprenticeship in the biggest salon in Sacramento. I worked full time and attended two cutting classes per week for a year. The owner said, “You’ve got the ability—stick with it.” So I finished my apprenticeship, moved on to another salon, met Mark and moved to Maui. I got a job at a salon called Ambience, where I met Cammie. That was six years ago. Cammie and I decided to go into business together and opened Paragon Salon in Makawao. And Mark and I got married.

The Cold War between China and the Soviet Union, had been dead for a decade when I made the trip from what is now called the Kyrgyz Republic to western China in 1999. Although troops no longer massed for possible war at this border, crossing the high-altitude Torugart Pass remained an arduous bureaucratic odyssey. Getting out of Kyrgyzstan required presenting a special exit visa at a dozen checkpoints on the way up to the border outpost. A dirt track took me through 20 kilometers of no-man’s land to the political border, which was only open on Fridays between 9 a.m. and noon. When my Chinese driver arrived on the other side of a bullet-pocked faux tri-

says Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich. “Require it to be filled with an American and employers have to raise the wage.” Most employers don’t hire illegal workers. But they all benefit from the downward pressure illegal immigration puts on wages. It’s simple supply and demand: if we deported every undocumented worker, companies would be forced to increase pay at the bottom from sub-minimum to minimum wage levels. This would force employers to entice those currently working for the legal minimum wage with raises, and so on up the scale. Labor costs account for about two-thirds of the expenses of an average business. The last “reform” corporate America wants is a genuine crackdown on illegal immigration. And Congress, reliant on

OUR BORDERS ARE OPEN ON PURPOSE. umphal arch marking the border, two Chinese soldiers accompanied him to sign for me, Checkpoint Charlie style. On the Chinese side came another 20 kilometers of DMZ: minefields, row after row of razorwire, watchtowers, the dirt raked regularly in order to reveal the footsteps of would-be illegal immigrants. Why is it, then, that the wealthier and technologically sophisticated United States, can’t seal its much shorter border with Mexico—the source of 70 percent of its illegal immigrants? Because it doesn’t want to. The INS estimates that there are about nine million illegal immigrants, mostly Mexican, living and working in the United States. With about 300,000 more entering the country annually—not including migrant laborers who travel back and forth—a staggering 10 percent of the U.S. workforce is currently undocumented. George W. Bush, master plagiarist of liberal catchphrases, says illegal immigrants “take the jobs that Americans won’t take.” A more accurate reading of the situation is that because these workers’ illegal status makes them vulnerable to exploitation, employers create jobs for them to take—while eliminating better jobs for Americans. Rapacious employers use illegals to fill two types of jobs: those that would otherwise go to Americans and those that exist only because it’s possible to pay slave wages. What would happen to the agricultural and garment sectors, which employ hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants in both categories, without illegal labor? Both industries would survive, though their bosses might have to make do without a Paris pied-à-terre. “The only reason any job remains unfilled is because the wage is too low,”

business for campaign contributions, isn’t about to start one. Our borders are open on purpose. While 150,000 U.S. soldiers fight a useless war in Iraq, fewer than 2,000 INS agents patrol the Mexican and Canadian borders—5,300 miles—combined. Hundreds of miles of border are unmarked by anything as formidable as a chain-link fence, much less the kind of we-mean-business fortifications built by the old USSR. Signs posted north of the San Diego-Tijuana crossing warn motorists to look out for Mexican families running across Interstate 5. Eleven states, recognizing the reality of the illegals in their midst, issue them driver’s licenses. Now the Bush Administration, backed by big business, wants to tacitly endorse illegal immigration by granting existing undocumented workers “guest worker” status. While we encourage illegal immigration, we’ve made it virtually impossible for a foreigner who dreams of becoming an American to do so legally. Legal immigration is limited to people who already have relatives here, are sponsored by an employer or are seeking political asylum from a tiny list of approved countries. Had these rules been enforced since 1776, there would be more Native Americans than any other variety. A sane immigration policy would reverse these attitudes. We should welcome legal immigrants in much larger numbers. After all, America has always become culturally richer and economically more prosperous as the result of its hard-working newcomers. Legal immigration should become safe, legal and commonplace. At the same time, no nation worthy of the name can tolerate porous borders. We can and must seal our borders to prevent economic migrants, terrorists and others with unknown motives from entering the United States. It’s time to stop sucking up to big business. MTW

New Year Plunge

Maui hosts the only sane Polar Bear swim in the world I was 15 when I first heard of J.R. Jarosh’s annual ritual of welcoming the New Year with a solitary plunge into the icy winter waters of Lake Michigan. I thought he was crazy. Now, 20 years later, Jarosh no longer takes his dip alone. Each Jan. 1, the Polar Bear Club of Jacksonport, Wisconsin and hundreds of other regional Polar Bear Clubs around the world join him. On my end, I have grown older and wiser and have acquired a much better understanding of human nature. Now I know they’re crazy. Christine Andrews, who founded the Polar Bear Swim on Maui six years ago, has done her best to inject some sanity to the event. “A group of us ‘pink-capped’ swimmers were regularly swimming between Makena Landing and Big Beach,” says Andrews. “The reef was so beautiful with the colorful fish and so many friendly turtles that we thought it would be great to share this with others. What better way than to host a swimming event? But, we also wanted to encourage the novice swimmer to try out the ocean. And, it was nearing the millennium. “Behind the scenes, a certain two swimmers were always disqualified for wearing their fins in all the other organized swim races on Maui,” she continued. “So, why not create an event where they would be legal?” It’s uncanny how similar Maui’s Polar Bear swim is to its Wisconsin predecessor. For example, in both locations the water temperature matches that of the air. So in Wisconsin, people jump into a 32 degreelake. And Maui’s the exact same way, if

you add 40 degrees. Both events have plenty of food and beverages for participants. When people finish the Maui event, organizers have plenty of Klondyke Ice Cream bars for them. Which is just like Wisconsin, though I think they might give out less ice cream. Both events advise participants use appropriate footwear. In Wisconsin, Jarosh warns swimmers to wear old tennis shoes or “aqua socks.” This, he says, helps “prevent cuts on your feet from the ice and to prevent your feet from sticking to the snow and ice on shore.” On Maui, Andrews recommends that swimmers wear fins because, quite logically, “This is the only organized race on Maui where you won’t be disqualified for doing so!” Or as returning race champion Spencer Eldred, 48, says, “Wearing fins just makes you go faster.” Of course, entering the water from a sandy beach while wearing fins can be a daunting task. Some competitors jog backwards with one eye over the shoulder. Others dish out a snazzy side step. Some brave souls just face forward and go for it. And both Wisconsin and Maui advise swimmers to bring plenty of post-race supplies. In Wisconsin, this translates into warm boots and blankets to prevent the onset of hypothermia. On Maui, swimmers should pack an extra tube of sun block or another swimsuit, so they can better soak up rays on the beach while digesting those Klondyke bars. Of course, there is one rather large difference between the Maui and Wisconsin races. Most Polar Bear swims consist of a brief dodge in and out of the water. Participants are barely under water long enough to open their eyes. But on Maui, entrants have to swim 1.2

A daunting task miles. This gives participants plenty of time to enjoy the magnificent scenery along the course. “The race takes you through an area called ‘Turtle Town,’” says race director Kimo Kaimikaua. “As the name implies, you are bound to see some fascinating marine life.” Eldred disagrees. “People talk about seeing turtles, but I’ve never seen one,” he says. “There’s no time to look around for turtles!” Returning female race champion Jacky Takakura still managed to pull off some wildlife viewing without it holding her back from a victory last year. “I saw two manta rays and several turtles,” she says of her last race. Takakura, now 36, began her swimming career on Maui three decades ago. She went on to compete for Baldwin High School. In 1996, she began swimming with Maui Masters Swim Club, where she trains today.

For Eldred, the Maui Polar Bear Swim is great because it’s the first race of the New Year. “It’s a great opportunity to see everyone after the holidays,” he says. “I like the Polar Bear swim because it’s a scenic course, the competitors are fun and friendly, and fins make you go fast,” says Takakura. “My memories of last year’s race? A beautiful day, clear water and good guacamole.” MTW

Exploring Science City The strange world of Maui’s astronomers

By Barukh Shalev 10

JANUARY 27, 2005

COVER STORY

“Most of my work involves making tons and tons of data,” he says with a chuckle. “But seriously, it’s fascinating work, especially when you have some of the larger solar flares. The science behind it really motivates me. Check this out.” He leads me outside to a set of towers. “Now, these,” he shouts above the wind, “these are the towers which follow the sun and gives the orientation to which the telescope itself will follow! These tell the telescope where to point! I gotta climb up here every morning and hook them up! Now, follow me!” We walk up an iron spiral staircase into the dome and find what looks like Marvin the Martian’s doomsday machine.

“This here is the actual telescope that looks at the sun,” Nitta says as we walk back down the staircase into a room filled with computers and printers. “The images go into here. This is what we call the imaging vector magnetograph.” Like Magneto, from X-Men? “Um, no,” he says. “Like magneto as in magnetic images of the sun. Then a machine called a Coronagraph, like as in the corona of the sun, creates an artificial eclipse so we can see it. The sun, of course, is very bright and without this artificial eclipse, it would be hard to see anything. “Much of what we do here revolves around the study of solar flares, why they happen, what they are all about,” he continues. “We do know they

A fascination with the heavens goes back to the dawn of civilization. For ancient man, the alignment of various stars, constellations and moons were intricately linked to space, time and direction. Modern astronomy grew out of the inevitable problems originating in the first civilizations. Properly planting and harvesting crops, carrying out religious rituals, even deciding when to have sex all depended on the correct alignment of time and space. Celestial movements gave man his first compass and the ability to predict animal migrations. The very fate of mankind hinged on his ability to understand the heavens. For American Indians, Polynesians, Aboriginal Australians and Meso-Americans, astronomy was a matter of dogma. While the Babylonians, Greeks and Hindus were developing their own uses for astronomical thought, ancient Polynesians viewed the movements of the sun, moon and stars as evidence of supernatural wanderings.

The actual telescope

It’s 5 a.m. and I’m driving on a frigid cold road towards the summit at Haleakala National Park. It’s a perilous journey, and I think of Mark Twain writing in Roughing It that he “felt like the last man, neglected of the judgment and left pinnacled in midheaven, a forgotten relic of a vanished world.” I’m unable to see beyond the narrow reach of my headlights and thus blissfully unaware of the sheer drop-offs and certain death that awaits me if I misjudge a turn. I turn on the radio, but find that only the cosmopolitanism of National Public Radio reaches these heights. I see a sign saying I’m passing 8,000 feet. For the very first time I turn on the heater. The wind, rain and fog whips past me unmercifully, pushing my car menacingly close to the edge of the road. Spooked, I slow to a stop, turn off the engine, headlights and This American Life so I can compose myself. Without the headlights, the world is very, very dark. I resume my journey with a newfound appreciation for the neat and tidy rows of reflectors guiding the way. They look like the lights in the aisle of a movie theater. I arrive at Science City just as the sun is rising. I find a lunar landscape pocked with shiny silver domes and antennae. It reminds me of those old pulp science fiction novels. This is where they’re going to build the world’s most advanced solar telescope. I’ve come up here to take a look around and see what’s up. Literally. The place is quiet. The only movement comes from the twinkling lights perched atop the bizarre structures. To one side of the summit rays of sun burst through the clouds, but the other side is distorted by rolling fog. H.G. Wells or Ray Bradbury would find inspiration here. I enter one of the buildings, but find more of a Soviet than sci-fi look. Shiny linoleum floors reflect the harsh light of florescent track lighting. Tacky couches sit unoccupied near 1960s-vintage chalkboards and Zenith television sets. Complex graphs and charts hang off the walls like afterthoughts. I almost expect to see my junior high school science teacher clutching a Bunsen burner. The only person here at this early hour is Garry Nitta, chief observer of the Mees Solar Observatory. For the past 14 years, he’s been rising early to come watch the skies. He works alone and prefers it that way. “I like the peacefulness up here,” he says. “I can concentrate.” Nitta has the researcher’s demeanor—quiet, involved and comprehensive. His hair is mussed and his eyes baggy. He looks like he sleeps at the observatory.

happen in a cycle of 22 years. We don’t know why exactly they occur. We have ideas, but we need more information. We don’t know why for instance, they occur on one part of the sun and not on the other.” Why does it matter? “Well, it affects things here, communication for example,” he says. “Haven’t you even seen ‘sun spots’ on your TV? They affect communication. You know, when Reagan was president, we once lost contact with Air Force One for an hour. Not many people knew that.”

Mike Maberry looks like he will burst out laughing. “It’s the biggest solar observatory in the world,” the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy assistant director tells me giddily of the new scope that’s just been authorized. “It will be called the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope, or ATST for short and it will be the biggest breakthrough in astronomy since Galileo. With it we can see detail on the sun like never before. They looked at 40 sites to put it, narrowed it

says, showing me a drawing of what looks like a Swedish meatball smashing into a globe, “were to happen on the border on India and Pakistan? They would nuke each other, that’s what! “What happens is these guys, we call them transNeptunian objects—things that are just hangin’ around—they bump into each other and get pushed into our orbit. Then we can be in trouble. These things are huge. They would do immense damage if just one of them were to hit earth. Jupiter got hit with four of them, remember that? Talk about 9/11—9/11 is nothing. One of these hitting New York City or metropolitan Chicago would destroy life in those cities for many thousands of years.” Now Maberry clicks on an image of a destroyed old Cadillac sitting in front of a motel. The Caddy has a sign on the windshield saying, “This car has been METEORIZED! See METEOR IN ROOM 155.” Maberry tells me the meteor was the size of my

foot. I ask him what can possibly be done about these things. “It’s not our job,” Maberry says, throwing his hands up. “Our job is to find them, then make it known that they are on their way. But something as minor as painting a stripe of white paint on the side of the meteor would change its trajectory so significantly that it might miss Earth. It sounds silly, but you can’t rule anything out.” How about just nuking it like they do in the movies? “What you don’t want to do is to blow it up,” he says. “This isn’t a movie, you know? You blow the meteor, then what? You get a shotgun effect, with chunks of meteor hitting earth everywhere.” Well, it still sounds like a movie to me. “It’s worse, in fact,” Maberry says, shaking his head. “More money has been spent on making movies about meteors hitting earth than actual research about them.” MTW

Marvin the Martian’s Doomsday Machine?

Chief Observer Garry Nitta Ancient Hawaiian astronomy revolved around agriculture and navigation. Combined with an extensive knowledge of winds and currents, knowledge of the placement of stars was crucial to navigating around the ocean. The arrival of Captain Cook in 1778 introduced compasses, clocks, charts, sextants and maps. The era of modern Hawaiian astronomy can be traced back to the time of King David Kalakaua, who was, among other things a lawyer, musician, military officer, editor and amateur astronomer. In 1874, Kalakaua hosted the English Astronomy Expeditions Transit to Venus. “It will afford me unfeigned satisfaction if my kingdom can add its quota toward the successful accomplishment of the most important astronomical observation of the present century and assist, however humbly, the enlightened nations of the earth in these costly enterprises,” he said at the exhibition. In 1881, Kalakaua traveled the world. While in New York he visited Thomas Edison. The two men discussed generating electric power from the Kilauea volcano. He also visited the Lick observatory and was deeply influenced by what he saw there. “Something of the kind is needed here very much, but we have so few people who take interest in scientific matters,” the king wrote in a letter home. “Everybody is bent upon making money on sugar and the all mighty dollar.” The king eventually got his wish. Not long after his return, he got a small telescope built above the Punahou School. But the scope wasn’t on a stable mount. So in 1956, it was moved to Honolulu and became the MacNeil Observatory and Science Center, which still stands today.

down to three: La Palma [in the Canary Islands], Big Bear and Haleakala. We are excited.” Maberry’s office is featureless, with a few computers, books and family pictures lying around. It’s the office of a man who disdains offices. On one wall is a photograph of him firing an Uzi. Maberry has a small frame but is built solidly. He sports the walrus mustache favored by police officers and the Village People. “All the biggest, baddest telescopes in the world have a very narrow view of things,” Maberry says, making an hourglass shape with his hands. “They can see very far and very powerfully, but only a certain spot and it becomes very cumbersome and time-consuming to try and do a comprehensive survey of our galaxy. Part of the problem is that there are just too many stars in the galaxy to do it right.” Maberry is a busy man. He often travels and on his desk in his small office sit airplane itineraries for Chile and Washington D.C. He’s just returned from a conference in Arizona. There are only so many places where you can build observatories, so astronomers spend much time going back and forth between these places, comparing notes and conducting research. “Science City, you should know, isn’t really the name for this place,” Maberry says. “That was made up by some Maui News guy back in the 1960s. Nobody actually calls it that anymore. [It’s] the Haleakala High Altitude Observatory Site. That’s the real name of it. Not Science City. Don’t call it that.” Oh. “Back in the spring of 1951, a guy by the name of Grot Reber wanted to find the best place to undertake radio astronomy experiments,” Maberry tells me. “He knew that Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa were really the best because of their height, but Haleakala was even better because of it’s accessibility. Have you ever tried to go to Mauna Loa? Imagine doing it in 1951 with scientific instruments. Then you’ll know why he picked Haleakala.” Mike pulls out a humungous cardboard photograph. “This is an above shot of the whole complex,” he says. Then he points at one spot. “This building started growing. It’s owned by the Air Force with a ‘no cost lease.’ I can’t tell you what’s going on with that because I have no idea. “The university is only in charge of a couple buildings here,” Maberry says, pointing to some other spots. Looking at the ceiling, he rattles off names like Mees Observatory, Zodiacal Light Observatory (ZLO) and Lunar Ranging Experiment (LURE). “We live and die by acronyms, by the way,” he says. “What we are going to do with PAN-STARRS is to survey the whole sky, weather permitting and build a very detailed catalog of all the objects in the sky,” Maberry tells me. “As you monitor how objects move, you can, for example, track irregularities in the solar system. In other words, find things that go ‘bump in the night.’ After all, it’s not a matter of if, but when will we be hit by matter from space. It has happened before and it will happen again. Our primary focus is to find objects in the 200-meter range, things that can cause some very real damage to life on earth. Look at this-” Maberry opens a power point presentation on his computer. “Here is the asteroid belt, in between Mars and Jupiter,” he says, tracing his mouse curser over a cacophony of white spots on the screen. “See that, as you can see, there is a lot of crap that can happen. “Can you imagine what would happen if this,” he

Eating and Talking People-watching at the Nagasako Okazuya My mother always said that if you want to get a feel for a neighborhood, hang out in front of the local grocery store. She was right, as she was about most things, but she probably couldn’t know how right she would be in the case of the patio by the Nagasako Okazuya/Deli in the Old Lahaina Center. It’s more of an eating place in the daytime. Well, eating and talking. In the morning, parents and their kids come and go quick. Crew after crew of working class folk grab a Loco Moco for breakfast or a sandwich for later before they race off. But a lot of times they just sit together at one of the three tables. Sometimes they spread across the 12 stone stools like the family picnic. I love to hang out there and just listen. “You like fish, brah?” one guy asked me the other day. “It’s Ahi, the bloodmeat. The best part.” The banter ebbs and flows like the ocean, which is only a block away. “Do you like San Diego this week?” “The old man, he never say no. I ask loan for $40, $60. He never say no.” “A good man, Brother Joe—he gave us dried fish on Molokai.” “Menehunes got in your tool box.” The people-watching possibilities are endless at Nagasako’s. During the holidays, a local Salvation Army volunteer over by the front door of nearby Foodland became the object of humor for several old Filipino guys at the patio. Not to be outdone, the Hawaiian Santa’s helper, complete with red hat, red board shorts, red wife-beater shirt and red high-top shoes, stopped ringing his bell and proceeded to engage in a Yuletide hula. Another day, a mentally challenged youth, who was apparently working pushing carts of groceries out to customer’s cars, took great offense at being bumped

by another customer’s basket. It took dozens of passers-by about 25 minutes to get the youth back into the store. I never saw him again. Sometimes, I don’t know what to make of the other customers. “Rubbish,” said an elderly woman, shaking her head as she threw away a bag. She said nothing as she ate her plate lunch and left. In an instant, a battalion of birds descended on the table where she had been eating. They fearlessly devoured any crumbs she left behind. As I watched them, two teenagers whizzed by on a scooter.

I like to think of each plate I prepare as a work of art. I like to be creative and use a lot of color when I garnish the plates with things like sour cream, cilantro and special sauces. I also like to personalize plate presentations for special requests or favorite regular customer. One of my favorite special dishes to prepare is a seafood enchilada with ahi, shrimp, crab and scallops topped off with a creamy verde sauce. I like the colors on our most popular dish, ahi spinach salad. It has beautiful reds and greens and comes garnished with papaya seed dressing. We also have a really good tiger shrimp pupu and like to use a fried tortilla shell that stand up in the presentation. We always have different dinner specials where we use extra time and special ingredients in the preparation. I started working at Milagros about a year and a half ago. I was working as a dishwasher for about a month when a line cook position became available. I had no cooking experience before I started working at Milagros, but I was interested in learning how to cook and they said they would teach me. Since then, I’ve been learning more about cooking every day and I love it. I love the people I work with and the locals that eat at the restaurant. There is a good vibe here. I’ve lived in a lot of places like South Dakota, Colorado, Miami and Humbolt, where I worked as a Barista before I moved to Maui. I usually like to move to different places and go where my heart takes me but I think I will stay on Maui for a long time. We serve both breakfast and lunch but my shift usually begins around three so I can set up for dinner, which starts at 5:30. We have to take time to put away things like sandwich prep items from lunch and restock fresh supplies for the dinner crowd. We use a lot of special sauces during dinner for our entrees and pupus that we don’t use during lunch. MTW

Jody Watley! Thursday-Friday, 9 p.m. at Paradice Bluz [MUSIC] I remember when “I’m Looking for a New Love” came out in the late ‘80s. Actually, the video was on MTV a lot. I thought Jody Watley was such a hot chick with great style—she made me want to wear those big hoop earrings and the leggings under short skirts all the time! Anyway, since releasing her debut album that went platinum in 1988, Watley was awarded Best New Artist at the Grammys, was called one of the most beautiful women in the world by People magazine and came out with a string of sassy club hits—“Some Kind of Lover,” “Still a Thrill,” “Real Love,” “Friends”—earning her the title of Dance Diva. Plus, she did cool, weird stuff, like putting out a fitness video called “Dance to Fitness,” dating John Taylor of Duran Duran, playing Rizzo in Grease on Broadway, performing at the White House and contributing on that Bob Geldof Feed the World project/Band-Aid song “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” Oh yeah, and her birthday is on Sunday!

Both Spacey and Darin colorfully illustrated in Kevin Spacey’s changed their names at the start of their affectionate biopic about the crooner who careers—Spacey from Fowler, and Darin from made “Splish Splash” a hit before finding Cassotto. But more significantly, Spacey pop immortality with his version of “Mack shares with the late Darin a brittle yet genteel The Knife.” Although arguably too old for performance mask that the part—Spacey is serves to shield his 45, eight years emotional metabolism older than Darin from the brutal realiwhen he died— ties around him. Spacey still manRated PG-13/114 mins. It would be too easy ages to nail Darin’s to pick apart Beyond The Sea as a conventionvocal phrasing and body language perfectal formulaic biopic that crumbles in the third ly throughout the film’s many musical set act. The film is too much of a reflection of pieces. In fact, Spacey himself sings the Spacey’s internal passion for that kind of dissongs that made Darin famous in the missive response to be appropriate. 1950s and ‘60s. Here is a guy who, regardless of the long list Close in execution to the recent Cole of marginal films he’s made over the last few Porter biopic De Lovely, Beyond The Sea years—like K-Pax and The Shipping News— faithfully pivots off episodes in Darin’s life has won two Oscars (Best Supporting Actor for to pack the screen with full-blown chorus The Usual Suspects and Best Actor for filled renditions of songs.

In this context Beyond The years in the making, the movie includes a Sea takes on significance as a double identity superb Kate Bosworth as Darin’s charmthat Kevin Spacey has been harboring in hopes ing wife Sandra Dee. of setting free a dream that should logically Beyond The Sea is a love song from catapult him forward as an actor.

For Spacey Spacey and Darin share certain stylistic to have so thoroughly digested Darin’s work and personal propinquity that point out that he was capable of taking a 17-piece band Spacey’s passion for his subject matter on a 12-city tour to perform Bobby Darin that goes beyond, let’s say, Kevin Kline’s

Beyond The Sea

★★★★★

Spacey serenading Darin songs is a testament to his rare level of reverence and dedication. Beyond The Sea is a once-in-a-lifetime performance purge for Spacey that consequently shows the actor at his best. Personally, I’ve never been a big Spacey fan. K-Pax was a shameless rip off of a rarely seen Argentine film Man Facing Southeast—by director

Eliseo Subiela. The Shipping News was a profoundly uninspired performance. But there is something crucial and mercurial in Spacey’s identity that beckons back to a specific ethic of integrity and hard won charisma that somehow catches every light in the room. In this case those bright lights shine on Bobby Darin. MTW

MAUI MALL MEGAPLEX

Indigo 1 & 3 p.m., McCoy Studio Theater A film about redemption, grace and the healing powers of a new generation of psychic and gifted "Indigo" children, starring Neale Donald Walsch (author of the Conversations with God series), screen written by James Twyman (of the Beloved Community) and, in his directorial debut, directed by Stephen Simon (producer of What Dreams May Come). Unrated. 90 min.

Wednesday, February 2 Easy 5 & 7:30 p.m., Castle Theater This Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize nominee finds the incandescently radiant newcomer Marguerite Moreau, playing an acupuncture enthusiast, in a sensually and sexually satisfying love triangle struggling to make the right choice between two seemingly decent men. Variety called this dramedy "A hip look at sexuality... smart and funny with unexpected twists" that "ends on exactly the right note" (NY Daily News). "Captures the brave messiness of single life and 20-something dating. The sex scenes have a rare feel of authenticity." (NY Times). Rated R. 99 min.

New This Week ALONE IN THE DARK – (R) – Action/Adventure, Suspense/Horror and Thriller – A detective of the paranormal, hot on the trail of the mysterious death of a friend, discovers that “evil demons worshiped by the ancient Abskani culture are planning on coming back to life in the 21st century to once again take over the world.” Aw, sounds like a bad case of food poisoning to me. Just sleep it off, buddy. You’ll be all right. HIDE AND SEEK – (R) – Thriller – Not to be confused with the 1999 film of the same name starring Daryl Hannah and Vincent Gallo, or the 1980 flick about Israel or even the 1977 War Games clone, this is a Robert DeNiro horror film about how his young daughter’s imaginary friend is actually real. MILLION DOLLAR BABY – (PG 13) – Romantic Drama – This Oscar-nominated film is getting rave reviews, but it’s really just another cliché-filled picture about a young boxer who’s had a tough life but, through sheer force of will, fights the good fight. Stars Hillary Swank, Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood, who also directed it. SIDEWAYS – (R) – Comedy and Drama – This could be your typical road-tripping buddy flick, only the “buddies” in question are Miles (Paul Giamatti)—a down-and-out failed novelist, middle school teacher and bitter divorcee but apt wine connoisseur—and his happy-go-lucky friend Jack (Thomas Hayden Church), who has his own devious agenda for their big “wine tasting trip” before he gets married the following weekend. Also stars Virginia Madsen and Sandra Oh.

Now Showing ARE WE THERE YET? – (PG) – Romantic Comedy – Ice Cube stars in this light-hearted look at how a swinging bachelor takes his girlfriend’s kids on a road trip to impress her, but finds that they really only want to turn his life into a living hell. How do they come up with this stuff? ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 – (R) – Action/Adventure/Crime/Gangster – This is a remake of John Carpenter’s second film, and hits all the usual shoot-‘em-up notes: deranged gang bent on springing an incarcerated mobster lays siege to an undermanned police station. Ethan Hawke plays the cop in charge who ends up arming Lawrence Fishburne and the other jailbirds to defend the station. THE AVIATOR – (PG13) – Drama – This is Martin Scorsese’s 168-minute epic on Howard Hughes that includes only a brief interlude of the billionaire’s most intriguing years when he became renowned for living in secret while wearing tissue boxes on his feet and growing out his hair and fingernails to absurd lengths, all while keeping jars of his own urine close by.

SURF

No, honey—the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy ARE real. Drinkable tap water? Um... Leonardo di Caprio as the nutty flyer/film maker and No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani as Jean Harlow. Fabulous! COACH CARTER – (PG13) – Drama – Inspired by true-life story of controversial high-school basketball coach Ken Carter, who received both high praise and staunch criticism when he made national news in 1999 for benching his entire undefeated basketball team for poor academic performance. Starring Samuel Jackson, Rob Brown, Ashanti Baby! Baby! Baby ! Baby! CLOSER – (R) – Drama – Another of Jude Law’s many, many 2004 pictures. This one teams him and three others in a story of four strangers who have chance encounters and overlapping attractions. Sounds hilarious. Also stars Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen. ELEKTRA – (PG13) – Action/Adventure – Jennifer Garner reprises her role as the hottie superhero assassin who nearly upstaged Ben Affleck’s Daredevil two years ago. Anyhoo, though she died in that flick, she was reborn for this one so she could kill some dude and his little girl for the super-assassin group Order of the Hand. Sweeeet. Also stars Goran Visnjic and Terence Stamp. FAT ALBERT – (PG) – Comedy, Family – The latest in a series of live-action films patterned after cartoons that I grew up watching. No, it’s cool. Really, I don’t care. If Hollywood is totally bankrupt of ideas and is just recycling stuff that we all know and have seen, that’s there business. I mean, just because I write scripts that come back unopened, that doesn’t mean I’m bitter or anything. FINDING NEVERLAND – (PG13) – Drama – Johnny Depp plays J. M. Barrie, the guy who wrote Peter Pan in this London, 1904 story. You remember Peter Pan, right? Sandy Duncan played him on Broadway. Also stars Kate Winslet and Dustin Hoffman. HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS – (PG13) – Action/Adventure, Foreign – This movie takes place near the end of China’s Tang Dynasty, which was, well, a while ago. Anyway, two cops arrest this hot dancer who has underworld ties, then decide that she’s too hot to bring downtown so they escape with her on some kind of perilous journey. Cool. IN GOOD COMPANY – (PG13) – Comedy, Drama – Poor sap Dan Foreman (Dennis Quaid) ends up demoted from head of ad sales and has to work for a new boss, Carter Duryea (Topher Grace), who is not only half his age, but also decides to date Foreman’s hottie 18-year-old daughter Alex (Scarlett Johansson). Those naughty up-and-comers! LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU – (R) – Comedy – A decidedly quirky Wes Anderson flick about an internationally famous oceanographer (Bill Murray), who along with his possibly long lost son (Owen Wilson), takes his wingnut crew (headed by a brilliantly wussy Willem Dafoe) on an expedition to hunt down the elusive Jaguar Shark that killed his partner. Also along for the ride is a beautiful pregnant journalist (Cate Blanchett), the oceanographer’s estranged wife and benefactor (Anjelica Huston)—hellooo, sugar mama!—and some other such obstacles, like pirates, bankruptcy, kidnapping, insurance concerns and Jeff Goldblum. MEET THE FOCKERS – (PG13) – Comedy – Four years ago, Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) met his fiance’s (Teri Polo) parents, including ex-CIA man Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) and his wife (Blythe Danner). This time, we meet The Fockers—a liberal stay-at-home dad (Dustin Hoffman) and his senior citizens’ sex therapist wife (Barbara Streisand). Usually, I’m skeptical about all-star casts but Bobby De Niro, Tootsie and

FILM

Babs? C’mon! NATIONAL TREASURE – (PG) – Action/Adventure – Nicholas Cage and Diane Kruger star in this quest to find some incredible treasure hidden by our nation’s founding fathers, who were nice enough to plant clues on the back of $1 bills. Sean Bean, as usual, plays a “ruthless adversary” in their search to unlock the secret to what the movie calls a 2,000-year-old mystery. Sounds great—wait, 2,000? Um, isn’t the country just—wait, let me get my calculator—228 years old? So it’s a 228-year-old mystery, right? Well, that doesn’t sound like such a big deal. OCEAN’S TWELVE – (PG13) – Action/Adventure, Romance, Thriller, Crime – This is the heist caper that out-heists the previous heist caper Ocean’s Eleven, which in itself was a remake of the horrendously awful Rat Pack-starring Ocean’s 11. This time around, the band of cons and thieves gets together again to rip off someone really rich in Europe to pay off the Vegas casino guy they ripped off in the first movie. Stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and all the rest. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA – (PG13) – Drama, Musical, Suspense – It’s the classic tale—and another cinematic take on a Broadway musical, oh joy—about a mysterious masked figure who roams the undergrounds of 19th century Paris, especially lurking around (or under—naughty!) the Opera Populaire, where he tutors a beautiful young soprano. RACING STRIPES – (PG13) – Comedy, Drama, Kids/Family – A traveling circus accidentally leaves behind a baby zebra—I know, it happens all the time— so then the precocious zebra gets the inclination to become a racetrack-star, with a little help from his farm animal friends... Okay, is it just me or does it sound like somebody had a few too many special brownies when they came up with this screenplay? I’m just saying... WHITE NOISE - (PG13) - Thriller - Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton) plays a man whose peaceful existence is shattered by the unexplained death of his wife Anna, and who is eventually contacted by a man claiming to be receiving messages from Anna through “household recording devices.” What the hell are “household recording devices?!”

Rainy Day Music EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL “LIKE THE DESERTS MISS THE RAIN” It’s not just the title that makes me think this is the perfect rainy day soundtrack. No, it probably has more to do with the fact that this CD was played in every locale I went to in cold, wet San Francisco last month. Tracey Thorn’s ultra-smooth and silky vocals backed by chilled-out electronica and funky hand percussion made the city rain seem glamorous and contemplative. Whenever I play this CD now, I can almost hear the soft patter on the rooftop of my friends’ Victorian flat, and see the raindrops slide down the windowpane. — Warner Music Group 2002 [SAMANTHA CAMPOS]

DAY&NIGHT

I love the rain. Mostly because it gives me an excuse to curl up with my blankie and a hot cup of cocoa while I read my favorite book. Beck’s latest release, Sea Change, is perfect for this type of scenario. While his lyrics about love, loss and feeling alone can be depressing, somehow the music’s lovely ambient soundscapes comfort me. Everybody knows Beck is a musical genius. But this CD isn’t like others you may have heard from him. It’s raw and woozy, trippy and mellow, beautiful and sad. He sings in an almost Valiuminduced country blues stupor, but the music is more complex--a grand mix of sweeping electronic reverbs and simple acoustic guitar. —Interscope Records 2002 [SAMANTHA CAMPOS]

THIEVERY CORPORATION “THE OUTERNATIONAL SOUND” No one has better taste than Thievery Corporation. They are the masters at finding the most obscure, original and irresistible songs from all over the world and remixing them into the perfect downtempo compilations. On a rainy evening, if you pour some nice wine with your honey, this album will set the mood for playful passion. Most of the album is made up of groovy, funky, sweaty jazz licks, some tunes reminiscent of blacksploitation soundtracks, a little reggae and the dopest breakbeats. Thievery Corporation’s original dub sound, a little different than traditional Jamaican style, sounds remarkable in its own right. —Esl Music 2004 [JOE GATTO]

“LOUDER THAN BOMBS” THE SMITHS By definition, a good rainy day album derives from a depressing, rainy place. That’s why the London-based Smiths are the gods of the rainy day album. Everything on this album is either humdrum or outright miserable. Even the cover is sad! I hate the rain. This is what I look like every time it rains: I prop my head up with the lit cigarette hand. In the other hand, I’ve usually got the remote control to the stereo. Sometimes I’ve got a scotch on the rocks in that hand. Sometimes I’m holding my penis. Actually, the rain ain’t so bad. —Warner Bros. 1987 [$AYFOO]

“THE MASTERS, DISC #2” BILLIE HOLIDAY Where is Billie Holiday from? Somewhere in the Midwest, right? Missouri? It’s miserable there, too. Oh. Wait a second. Let me look this up… Billie Holliday is from Philadelphia! I officially retract my earlier statement in The Smiths review about the depressing place thing. Billie is the shit! Man, can she swoon! Her voice makes ya want to grab a dame by the ass and dance! Both are very fun rainy day things to do. The only reason I didn’t review the first album of this double-disc is because my lame-ass ex-girlfriend took it from me. She is one of those borrow-the-disc-return-the-cover-but-keep-the-disc morons. Oh, it gets better… guess what she replaced it with? The fucking Counting Crows! Now I want to kill. —Eagle Records 1997 [$AYFOO] Have a CD you want to tell the world about? Or music you think deserves a smarmy critique? Send it over to sam@mauitime.com. MTW

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

Music from the Master DJ Rob Swift’s Top 10 Must-Have Albums In the world of music, there are few scratch masters. Rob Swift is one, making a name for himself in 1991 with the turntablist crew the X-ecutioners. The next year, he was declared DMC/Technics East Coast DJ champion. He has since gone on to remix and produce tracks for artists like Cornershop and Lords of Acid. Like most master mixologists, Swift is adept at multi-tasking, scoring hi-tech games and television projects, occasionally spinning at major clubs worldwide, as well as combining forces with jazz greats Herbie Hancock and Bob James. Anyway, just as you would ask your mom for cold remedies, your mechanic what kind of car you should buy or your gay neighbor for interior decorating advice, we asked DJ Rob Swift what music we absolutely, positively should not live

without. Here are his top 10 must-have albums, along with his expert reasons why:

1. ILLMATIC Nas This album symbolizes what goes through the mind of a young black male in NYC. Also, this was the first Hip Hop album that featured a variety of producers (Large Professor, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Q-Tip.) It was innovative lyrically and sonically.

2. IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS... Public Enemy

DJ Rob Swift & DV One DJs Rob Swift and DV One will spin on Friday at Hapa’s in Kihei. Doors open at 10 p.m. Tickets are $11, available at Request Records in Wailuku. Call 244-9315.

This is a must-have album, especially if you focus more on the production side of Hip Hop. Large Professor produced this album and revolutionized beat-making in the process. If don’t have it, find it!

5. BLOOD SUGAR SEX MAGIC Red Hot Chili Peppers Here, the Chili Peppers are paving the way for future groups like Korn and Linkin Park. Rick Rubin (Run DMC, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys) produced this album.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) “My God, that’s an ugly baby!” Although most folks wouldn’t dream of saying this to a recent mother’s face, many of them didn’t hesitate to dump all over your labors of love in the past, the metaphorical babies you created and released into the world. Having something you’re really proud of get torn to bits by assholes has probably made you reluctant to share another of your secret masterpieces. This week, however, would be a good time to reveal that special bit of yourself, which is long overdue for public exposure. It probably won’t be universally lauded or adored—no one could guarantee that—but it will almost certainly be respected, and you can’t realistically hope for much more.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Other people suck, don’t they? At least, that’s what you’re likely to frequently think about them this week. It’s true that some of those you know could be more generous, but fixating on their stingy behavior will only make you bitter. They can’t be nagged or coaxed out of miserliness. Simply trying will probably only intensify it. Unfortunately, this isn’t something you’ll be able to easily ignore, though. It’s not your job or duty to compensate for these scrooges by giving more time, energy or money (you’ve already done your fair share), but you still might want to. It’d be a nice gift, so please consider it; the world could certainly use it.

If you feel that you have been potentially exposed to HIV and would like Free, Confidential and Anonymous testing call the Maui AIDS Foundation at 242-4900. It is important to know your HIV status so that you do not unknowingly pass the virus to others, also early detection is vital to your health and treatment. The Maui AIDS Foundation now offers Drop-In HIV Counseling and Testing (No appointment necessary) Drop in hours are Mon.-Fri. 8:30am to 4:30pm, Wed. 8:30am to 7pm 1935 Main Street, Wailuku For more information on HIV/AIDS, STD’s including Viral Hepatitis and HIV Counseling and Testing call the Maui AIDS Foundation at 242-4900.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) In confrontations with literal-minded, scientific pragmatists who challenge me to try to justify or prove astrology’s relevance, I say: “No, you’re quite right. It’s all bullshit.” Then I move on. Follow my example, please, Gemini. Too many people this week will invite you to throw yourself at brick walls. Astrological influences might make you perversely inclined to try it, even though you know the outcome ahead of time. Resist them. None of these walls are coming down; your bones will break first. Keep your body and ego unbruised. Politely turn down those goads, and walk away.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Be careful. The person who’s trying to show you off is the kind of idiot who walks around with his cat on a leash. Get away, fast, Cancer. This person has a really distorted view of reality, one that couldn’t possibly benefit you. And they’re beyond your help. Don’t say I didn’t warn you about this one. If you persist in associating with the freak in question, you’re basically volunteering to be the cat on the leash. It’s not as bad as being the person who thinks that’s a good idea, but it’s not much better, either. Instead, please scratch their eyes out, run away, or both.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Only Sagittarians despise the thought of being stuck in prison more than you do, Leo. Although their longing for freedom is quite different from yours (as are their escape methods), the result is the same; neither of you can abide feeling trapped for very long. I’m not going to make a case for how great imprisonment is. However, sometimes it’s imposed on you not for the protection of others but for your own safety and well-being. That’s the case this week. Left to your own devices you could really screw things up at the moment. If someone’s sheltering you (hint: it might feel like smothering), let them. You can shrug off their care next week, when your lack of foresight won’t mess up your whole life.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Most Virgos I know are, at least a little, embarrassed to admit their sign. As if it’s disgraceful to be so efficient, energetic, dependable and clean. That’s because some lame and unscrupulous folk have gone to great lengths to shame you about your organizational skills or your fastidiousness (even that word has a negative feel to it). But that’s just so they don’t feel too bad about being such flaky slobs. Forget them. They’re pathetic and they know it. You’re not the least bit pathetic, though. Why don’t you know—deep in your bones—that?

COVER STORY

Don’t be holistic this week. Yeah, yeah, I know I’m always asking you to remember how interconnected everything is, but at the moment that crap will only overwhelm you. If you consider the entire mountain of tasks you’ve taken on, you’ll just want to go to bed and forget the whole thing. Don’t you dare indulge this impulse, though. Even an extra half a day between the sheets could set you so far back that you’d never recover. Realizing that, you’d just spend weeks on end hiding under your pillows. Forget the mountain. It doesn’t matter. Instead, break what you’ve got to do into the smallest possible chunks and tackle—only even think about tackling—one at a time.

This week you might feel like you recklessly dove to the deep-end bottom of the pool without taking a properly deep breath first. Short on air, what should have been a casual game—diving for rings with the kids—has become something fraught with desperation and panicked urgency. Relax. Freaking out will only exacerbate things. How can you possibly stay calm, you ask? Because, you’re actually fine. Sure, you’re operating without the comfort zone buffer that you’re used to, but you can still pull off your task anyway. The only way you’ll drown is if you flip out, so keep your cool and get the job done.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Don’t expect to accomplish much or get anywhere this week. In fact, you’re doomed to spend the bulk of your time getting most of the way somewhere, then changing your mind and reversing direction, then repeating the whole process elsewhere. It’s almost impossible for you to be decisive or efficient right now; planetary influences virtually forbid it. So what? There’s nothing so important that it can’t be put off for a bit. If I were you, I’d postpone major responsibilities if I could. Meanwhile, I’d enjoy the silliness of your mental dancing (since you’ll be doing it whether you find it fun or not).

“we do all the work . . . so you can enjoy your yard”

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Keep your ears pricked for the “click.” This week you’re likely to experience several examples of that profound, subtle and almost mystical union with someone else (or, quite possibly, several someone elses). It could happen in conversation, artistic collaboration, during sex, or all three, or any number of other situations. It’s not that you’re likely to miss it when it happens, but you may not appreciate how special (and, remember, rare) it is, until it’s too late. Don’t do a Before Sunrise. Exchange numbers, make plans and dream. Sure, this could lead to disappointment. The other route, however, definitely will.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Maui Recycling Service

Everyone’s experienced that moment, hopefully many times, when a previously opaque and incomprehensible subject suddenly clicks into transparent clarity. The light dawns, as they say. This can, occasionally, be accompanied by embarrassment, if, say, this took one much longer than it ought to have. In other words, now that you know how short and simple the journey was, it’s humbling that it took you as long as it did. In case you hadn’t guessed, this week might feature one or two of these ego-crushing incidents. Don’t let it get to you, though (better late than never, right?). Spending too much time feeling stupid will just keep you from picking up your next clue, and start the whole damn cycle all over again.

If not now, when?

CURBSIDE RECYCLING! FREE Recycling Bins – And No Sign-up Fee!

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) The good news is that the slave drivers who were whipping you into a frenzy these past couple weeks will now tire of goading you on and pushing you past your limits. The bad news is that, of course, your efficiency will drop dramatically. Those who’ve come, recently, to expect insane quantities of high-quality productivity from you (including yourself) might be disappointed, or even put out. That’s bullshit, though. You deserve a break, a chance for all those lash-marks on your back to heal. If anyone complains, point to the mountain of accomplishment just behind you and tell them when your lazy-ass peers catch up, then they can resume their nagging, but not before.

HOLOHOLOGIRL

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

Freddie Mercury is my new roommate On Wednesday, Sasha lost her voice. So after seeing a deliciously wicked Being Julia at the Castle Theater, we decided to go to Idini’s in Wailuku. We should’ve known something was up when there were two seats waiting for us at the bar. It was just too damn convenient. Then the guy next to me asked where we had just come from. And he was cute. And young. In a dive bar. It was so weird. Not long after, the young dude asked us what we did for a living. Then I asked him the same thing. Construction? Plumbing? Masonry? “I’m an epidemiological specialist,” he said. Oh. Sure, happens all the time. At first I thought he was lost, but he said he’d just bought a house down the street. Undeterred, we stayed at Idini’s and began chatting with a table of nice gentlemen, one of whom insisted that I spoke Spanish. I politely told him that I didn’t. He continued speaking to me in Spanish, telling me what he thought when he first saw me and that he knows I’m lying about not being able to speak Spanish because I have a “tortilla face.” “Um, excuse me,” I said. “Why are you calling me ‘tortilla face?’” He explained that “tortilla face” is an expression used by Latinos when referring to someone with an unmistakable Hispanic appearance. I told him that unless he was going to call me “a hot tamale,” I didn’t want to hear any cultural food references to my visage. Had I explained the rest of my ancestry, what would have been next? Escargot eyes? Sauerkraut lips? Bangers-and-mash nose? On Friday, BJ, Sasha and I went back to Idini’s. We said our hellos and hugged our newest favorite Wailuku bartender, Mike. We ordered our usual whiskeys and somebody sent over a bowl of nuts. Then the three of us noted that some cashews looked disturbingly like a key part of female genitalia. I tried to save one as a demo model for possible future instruction but like most men, I just left it there. We were listening to some romantic ballads—was it Michael McDonald?—with some very prominent saxophone solos, which we enjoyed. But we all agreed that we don’t like music when it sounds like the sax is replacing vocals. Like with Kenny G. That somehow turned into a discussion of Zamfir, the pan flutist. And Yanni. Then Sasha said she’d do him. Yanni, that is. We were incredulous. “Hey, if he’s good enough for Krystal [Linda Evans] from Dynasty, then he’s good enough for me,” she said. “Sometimes you have to do guys ‘cause it’s funny.” Then she presented her theory of “doing” hot celebrities—maybe Jude Law, Kelly Slater and Lenny Kravitz, for instance—and then throwing in a wild card, like Yanni. We weren’t necessarily buying it, so we moved on to discussing Jay Leno and big foreheads in new age music, which naturally led to discussion of John Tesh. The girls snickered. “Whatever, I did him,” I said. Lately, I’ve been thinking about getting a dog. But I’m kind of a commitment-phobe at the moment. So BJ suggested a hamster. But hamsters are kinda like gerbils and that’s really gay. Not “gay” in the ole urban myth of Richard-Gere-and-the-gerbil-incident kind of way, but “gay” in the adult-woman-who-has-a-hamster-as-her-main-pet-is-a-freak kind of way. “What about a rat, then?” asked BJ. Yeah, a rat. That’s kind of Adolescent Goth. I can dig that. But as I looked for the furry creatures section of the pet store, I passed a couple shelves with some very sad-looking Bettas. And while most of the fish looked a bit gray and forlorn, one fish with dramatic red plume-like fins was rockin’ out in his small plastic jar. So I took him home to the Moroccan Bayou, where I will love him and pet him and love him and squeeze him and call him George. Actually, I think “Freddie Mercury” is more appropriate. On Sunday evening, there was an Aloha ‘Oe party for Anna on the north shore. In an elegant guest cottage overlooking the ocean, 20 lovely ladies drank Cosmopolitans and wine, ate sushi and cheesecake, took Polaroids and waxed poetic about their favorite hair stylist. Then Kirsten took a bunch of photos, even offering her camera—the one with the strap on—to anyone who wanted to capture a moment. “Did she say strap-on?!” a couple of women said, giggling. At one point, we all gathered around in the living room, as some women shared their experiences about and with Anna. How she’s changed their lives in some way. How she’s made so many women more beautiful. How she has such a nice ass. “What will we do without you?” they cried. “I don’t know,” said Anna, smiling sweetly. “You’re fucked.”
