TOUCHING LETTER I am responding to the article written by Ms. X (“Sacred and Profound,” May 5, 2005). First off, I wanted to commend Ms. X for sharing her experience with the public and for honoring her learning within it. It sounds like it was intense and I can only hope writing about it was cathartic for her. Erotic or sensual massage is definitely happening all over the world and even though it may make some of us uncomfortable it still exists. I am a massage therapist myself, and wanted to address the difference between therapeutic and sensual massage. I will not make any statements that one is more appropriate than the other, I will not pass judgment on those who choose to heal through a sexual modality. Tantra has been practiced for centuries and some people really respond to that kind of touch. But therapeutic massage is not about sex or sexual healing. It is about finding homeostasis or balance within the body. Some sensual masseurs have claimed that traditional massage is restrictive and uptight. I say, I don’t mind respecting people’s boundaries with their bodies as well as respecting my own. Some people have more boundaries than others and this does not mean that people are frigid because they don’t want to have a stranger release their kundalini. It only means different strokes for different folks. Sensual massage can work for some people in balancing certain sexual issues. And

finding balance or healing is relative. Let us all be aware of our judgments and be more tolerant of where people are in their healing because ultimately everyone has their own process. -Kalalani Maluhia, via email

WE’RE BIG IN ARKANSAS! Aloha from the Ozarks! I always liked Maui Time when I lived there. Now that I moved, I love the website.

CORRECTIONS In the May 26, 2005 story “Too Cutting Edge” we misspelled the name of acupuncture specialist Bryon Sparks. Also, after careful research we’ve determined that a couple individuals listed in our May 5, 2005 staff box list of “favorite famous Mexicans” aren’t actually Mexican. Charo was born in Spain and Zorro hails from California. But the rest are authentic Mexican natives, except for possibly Bumblebee Man, who we couldn’t positively identify by press time.

Maui Time welcomes letters commenting on our coverage, but only if they’re complimentary. If you still wish to complain about something, please have the decency to use plenty of bad punctuation and grammar—that makes it easier for us to make fun of you when we respond.

ehbrah@mauitime.com I am absolutely shocked at how screwed up you are. When I first started working for you at your restaurant I thought the place was kind of run down but that you had all your shit together. Boy, was I wrong. It’s no wonder to me that so many people hate you. Since neither good looks nor intelligence runs in your family, I feel the need to explain that if you want customers to come into your place then you’re going to have to give them good food. That means no more frozen sashimi or fake kobe burgers. Oh, and when people do order that over-cooked slab of shoe leather you call a hamburger, it’s best not to charge them extra for mayonnaise. It just pisses them off even more. You run your kitchen so poorly that your staff just watches in amazement at your accomplishments. We feel it’s kind of like watching a monkey use a stick to get ants out of a hole in the ground.

Saving the Iao Theater

Stand Aside

Does it have to be done in secret? Arakawa to answer that question. This was a critical revelation—especially considering that the Task Force meetings have so far been secret. “I don’t want to see a process behind closed doors anymore,” said Darla Palmer, Maui OnStage’s executive director. She added that she didn’t think the Task Force had “adequate representation of the arts.” The Task Force’s policy of holding private meetings was clearly something of a revelation to many of the meeting participants. “Who picked the Task Force members and why isn’t more of the community involved?” asked Wailuku resident Barbara Ann Keller, the Maui Drug Court Administrator who attended the meeting to ask for more children’s theater events at the Iao. Formed in January by Arakawa, the ninemember Task Force includes representatives from the County Film Commission, Maui Arts and Cultural Center and Maui Chamber of Commerce as well as longtime Wailuku activists like Jocelyn Perreira of the Wailuku Main Street Association. The sudden interest in the Task Force put Economic Development Coordinator ArakiRegan on the defensive. She said such meetings were perfectly legal since the Task Force was just an “advisory board.” In fact, she added, the county had even gotten an opinion from the state Office of Information Practices backing them up. She said the Task Force wasn’t actually PHOTO: SEAN M. HOWER

Lovers and supporters of the historic old Iao Theater got a real treat last week. At 6:30 p.m. on May 25, they got a chance to attend an actual public meeting in the Cameron Center Auditorium on the onlypartially restored theater’s future. About 30 people decided that discussing the future of the 1928-vintage movie house and theater was a bit more important than seeing who would be the next American Idol. What made this meeting so special was that until last week, all meetings on the Iao Theater—conducted by the high-sounding Iao Theater Restoration Initiatives Task Force—have been behind closed doors without public input or participation. Moderated by consultants David Plettner and Karen Masaki of the Honolulu-based Cultural+Planning Group (C+PG)—hired a few weeks ago by the Task Force—the meeting was part of a “needs assessment” to find out what the public wanted to do with the theater. County Economic Development Coordinator Lynn Araki-Regan, who works with the Task Force, also attended. The Iao still needs a couple million dollars to complete its restoration and install modern central air conditioning. The building originally had an elegant system of ducts that used no moving parts but routed cool tradewinds from the back of the building through the audience. But engineers had to block off a number of

“I WOULD NOT GO IN THERE FOR A MEETING DURING THE DAY,” ONE WOMAN SAID OF THE NEED TO PUT IN AC. “I WOULD HAVE TO PUT ON TOO MUCH DEODORANT.” vents to stabilize the structure, which was then in danger of collapsing. “I would not go in there for a meeting during the day,” one woman said of the need to put in AC. “I would have to put on too much deodorant.” For the first half of the meeting, the ultimate point of all these “needs assessments” and “task forces” went unstated— that is, whether current management group Maui OnStage should get a longterm lease over the theater. Then someone said that Plettner and Masaki should recommend that Maui OnStage continue managing the theater. Plettner quickly denied that his firm would recommend that any one firm or group run the theater. Instead, he said, it was up to the Iao Theater Restoration Initiatives Task Force and Mayor Alan

making any decisions on the theater, but was “just a group from the broader community” that would ultimately call for a Request For Proposals (RFP) concerning the theater’s future. She added that closed meetings were “cleaner” and that the county deals with RFPs “every day” without any public input at all. “We don’t have to go through this [public meeting],” she said. “The Task Force requested this.” The problem with this argument is simply that an RFP dealing with the Iao Theater is strikingly different from one dealing with sewer repair or stoplight construction. The Iao Theater succeeds or fails on community involvement, which means it just makes sense to involve members of the public with all decision-making concerning its future. Instead, the Task Force has managed to insulate itself behind a wall of private consult-

Many people think that the Maui County Department of Liquor Control only deals in liquor. It’s perfectly understandable—the words “liquor” and “control” appear next to each in the name. But the LC would never let a mere name limit its regulatory responsibilities to just booze. Case in point is Casanova, the popular restaurant and nightclub in Makawao. It’s a small place that can get crowded with dancers. Their case comes up before the Board of Adjudication June 2. Put simply, Casanova got the shaft for one count of failing “to ensure that aisles or walkways are cleared of any congestion or blockage which would prevent any person from moving freely within an aisle or walkway.” That’s it—no overserving a drunk, failing to card a minor or even giving the slip to an LC investigator. The LC cited the club on Dec. 29, 2004, about five minutes shy of midnight. It was a Wednesday—Ladies Night, in fact—which accounts for the crowd. For its part, Casanova is pleading guilty. Now most communities would be perfectly content to let the fire department handle such matters. But not ours. In fact, the LC’s responsibilities over where people can stand in a nightclub are enshrined in Section 08-10190(b) of the Maui County Rules of the Liquor Commission. Remember—this is the Maui LC we’re talking about here. They’ve busted clubs for booking acts that used profanity on stage and for letting patrons dance outside the specially taped-off dancing zone. The irony is that rules like these are coming up for review in the next few months. There will be public hearings held throughout the county. If enough residents and licensees complain, the Commission might just start confining itself to just policing liquor. MTW

WEDNESDAY, MAY 25 The University of Hawai’i at Manoa has agreed to stop genetically modifying taro, sayeth the Associated Press today. Their reason is simple: heat from Hawaiian activists who claim taro is their ancestor. After a series of very vocal protests, the University decided to cave, ultimately figuring that screwing around with the genetics of the great ancestor of the Hawaiian people probably wasn’t good public relations. This is, of course, great news, but let’s think about it. In Europe popular outrage against Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) led to laws requiring the labeling of all such products. In addition, considerable scientific study and research has accumulated showing that we really have no clue as to the long-term consequences from genetically modifying stuff. Of course, UH—like the whole nation—does nothing with all this scientific evidence. But when word spreads that taro is sacred in Hawaiian mythology, the school freaks out and shuts down its super taro outfit.

seriousness, neither the Lindbergh Foundation nor Lindbergh’s surviving American family would comment to the AP on the new book. But there’s plenty of historical evidence that Lindbergh really dug Germany— especially in the 1930s. In 1938, Lindbergh accepted the Service Cross of the German Eagle from Luftwaffe chief Hermann Goering. Lindbergh also publicly opposed our fighting Nazi Germany because “the white race” wasn’t in peril. Lindbergh, who counted anti-Semitism among his hobbies, also felt that the Nazis were too strong anyway and there was nothing we could do about them smashing Western Europe.

Boy it’s nice taking the afternoon off.

Concerning Maui’s most famous haole corpse—that would be Charles A. Lindbergh, buried in Kipahulu since 1974—a new book alleges that there was more to the nickname “Lucky Lindy” than people ever suspected. According to today’s AP’s writeup on Rudolf Schroeck’s The Double Life of Charles A. Lindbergh, the man who first flew solo across the Atlantic fathered three kids with a Munich hatmaker, two with her sister and another two with his German private secretary. Damn, when did the guy ever get a chance to fly? Then again, they don’t call it the “cockpit” for nothing. In all

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

SUNDAY, MAY 29 Maui’s dead last among the state’s counties in terms of returning plastic bottles! Woohoo! The AP said today that people on Kauai have gotten a nickel back on a whopping 41 percent of the plastic bottles they’ve bought, with Big Islanders redeeming 35.6 percent of their bottles, Oahu residents taking back 25.4 percent and little old Maui County bringing up the rear with just 23.2 percent redemption. Now I don’t know why the people on Kauai kick ass (relatively—state officials want 80 percent redemption rates) and we on Maui suck, and what’s more, I don’t care. This whole “get a nickel” back from a plastic bottle is a stupid half-assed attempt at pretending that Hawai’i recycles. People in the 1960s got a nickel back from returning glass bottles, and that was when a nickel could buy you lunch or something. Besides, we’re a chain of islands in the Pacific with extremely limited space! We need full curb-side recycling of everything: plastic, glass and every form of paper we churn out. What is the frickin’ holdup?

It’s Memorial Day! It’s a solemn day when we remember our fallen servicemen and women, mostly by letting the kids have the day off. But today I want to honor and remember all the people who didn’t die in a war that was thankfully never fought. Of course I’m speaking of an all-out total nuclear war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Thanks to the Federation of American Scientists (FAS), we now know that our leaders all through the Cold War were preparing to fight a mighty big war—one that would have killed a great many people. In response to a FAS public records request, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) finally released its 1990 “Nuclear Attack Planning Base”—a massive “credible estimate” of the “potential physical effects” stemming from a nuclear war with the Soviets. Put simply,

OVERHEARD... CLERK: “QUIZNO’S IS OKAY, YEAH?” CUSTOMER: “WHAT? OH, YEAH, I GUESS.” CLERK [TO ANOTHER CLERK]: “SEE? I TOLD YOU.” -Lowe’s in the Maui Marketplace, May 30

FEMA determined that a Soviet nuclear strike would kill outright 129.1 million Americans— roughly 53 percent of the nation’s population in 1985. That figure, which is more than 20 times the number of Jews killed by the Nazis during World War II, doesn’t account for the number of Americans who would die from nuclear fallout. Breaking down the deaths by state, FEMA found that nuclear blast damage would kill 619,880 people in Hawai’i, which was roughly 59 percent of the state population in 1985. On the plus side, they calculated that the risk of anyone out here dying from radiation fallout was “low.”

TUESDAY, MAY 31 A new report put out by the Washington D.C.based Center for Public Integrity says that Hawai’i Republicans raised an astounding $2.25 million in the run-up to the 2004 elections—more than a million bucks more than the state Democrats’ $1.04 million. The state GOP turned around and spent $2.39 million during the election (I’m assuming they had some money in the bank to account for the discrepancy), which was again more than a million more than the Democrats. What’s shocking here isn’t that the Republicans beat the Democrats so badly in the money arena, but that they still got their asses kicked in the elections. Sure, Republicans held onto their 20-5 minority in the state Senate but they also lost five seats in the state House, dwindling to a pathetic 41-10 minority. Anthony Pignataro held the NBA’s seasonhigh disqualifications record until the 195253 season. MTW

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD MIXED MOTIVES Pastor Joe Van Koevering speaks reverently of the “precious Jewish people,” whom “God loves,” but a principal mission of his Gateway Christian Center in St. Petersburg, Fla., is to speed up the end of the world (and, thus, the deaths of nonbelievers) by financially helping to send as many Jews as possible “back home” to Israel. According to the Book of Revelation, the holy war that will bring the apocalypse will start only after Jews (of an indeterminate number) return to the holy land. According to a May St. Petersburg Times story, Van Koevering became tearful when speaking of the Jews that will be left behind to fight, and die, so that “true believers” can be taken away in the rapture.

BRIGHT IDEA The East Valley Tribune reported in April that the police department in Mesa, Ariz., was still awaiting word about its $100,000 federal grant request to buy and train a capuchin monkey for its SWAT team. Capuchins are now used as assistance animals for the disabled, in that they can be taught to fetch things off of shelves, and the police want to see if one can be trained to unlock doors and search buildings on command. The Pentagon’s visionary research agency, DARPA, is considering the proposal.

AIR TRAVEL BLUES In a major incident on Feb. 11, security officers at Dublin International Airport “booted” an ambulance at a terminal entrance, even though it was parked in an area reserved for emergency vehicles. A patient with serious injuries was delayed until paramedics paid cash to have the boot removed.

CREME DE LA WEIRD Gregory Withrow and an associate staged a two-man protest at the California state capitol in Sacramento in April against U.S. policies on Iraq, immigration and white supremacy, among other issues. The associate’s role in the protest was to drive 6-inch nails into Withrow’s hands on a cross as he stood as a martyr for six hours. Withrow had brought notes with him from a Butte County, Calif., health official (seemingly approving Withrow’s plan to hurt himself) and from the Sacramento Parks Department affirming that no permit was needed for such a protest.

NO OFFENSE Mr. Brij Dhir, a San Francisco law student and India-licensed attorney, recently filed a lawsuit against a Northern California microbrewery for the “hate crime” of manufacturing Indica India Pale Ale with a label featuring the Hindu god Ganesh (a man with the head of an elephant) holding Indicas in one of his four hands and his trunk. In an attempt to accommodate Dhir, Lost Coast Brewery closed down the brand, but Dhir still wants at least $25,000 for his own indignation and said that $1 billion might be necessary to compensate Hindus for their trauma.

He was elegant, masculine and had depth and soul. The journal matched him well. I enclosed a card with it. On the front was a favorite quote by Rumi: “The ocean takes care of each wave until it gets to shore.” He called that night to say thank you. I still hear his gentle words and soft tone like it was yesterday. “You’ve turned out to be a really great friend, Courtster,” he told me. “Things are looking up. I’m feeling much better.” At the time, I had no idea that these would be among the last words I would hear from him. Nor would I ever have guessed that the journal would end up back in my hands, a week later, with his last handwritten words. That week, my friend Rick Perrie took his own life. He was 46 years old. Rick had been struggling with depres-

sion. But no one other than he knew the depths of it, for he hid it well. My heart and mind resist going back there, to the weeks before his death. Because when I do, I feel helpless, sad and angry. I feel tricked by the man who always jokingly called himself the Trickster. But, most of all, I feel blessed. Blessed to have had this incredibly soulful human being in my life. Blessed for the special moments he shared with me. Blessed to have known his heart, courage, humor, intelligence and big-brotherly love. Rick first came to Maui in 1987 to serve some of his residency training in Hana. After falling in love with the Hawaiian Islands, he opened a night clinic for the Maui Medical Group in Wailuku as well as their first Kihei clinic. In 1991, Rick started his own practice. He founded the Upcountry Medical Center in Pukalani Square. More than 8,000 patients used his clinic for their primary and urgent health care. He was the kind of doctor who took time to be present for each and every one. I know, because I was one.

As a member of the Disaster Medical Assistance Team, Rick spent 10 days helping at Ground Zero after the collapse of the World Trade Center. He also worked on Kauai after Hurricane Iniki, in Northridge, California after a powerful earthquake and even gave bioterror training at the Atlanta Olympics. For doctors, there is pressure to appear flawless in health—physical, mental and emotional. They need to have all the answers or to know where to go for them. And spend each and every moment of the workday in the public eye. They’re responsible for the wellbeing and health of others, usually while facing severe time constraints. Where did this leave Rick, who two years ago was diagnosed with Bipolar Mood Disorder? Bipolar Mood Disorder is a condition typically characterized by a cycling between manic and depressive episodes—extreme highs and lows. In manic phases, many individuals report having limitless energy, irritability,

decreased need for sleep and racing thoughts. Most also experience severe, debilitating depression. With appropriate treatment, Bipolar Disorder can be very successfully monitored. When left untreated, however, it can be fatal. According to the National Mental Health Association, Bipolar Disorder results in suicide for nearly 10-15 percent of cases. That makes it one of the most serious and deadly psychiatric illnesses. Many individuals with Bipolar Disorder suffer silently. While many of us knew of Rick’s battle with depression, few of us ever encountered it face to face. In his lowest moments, Rick still somehow managed to put on a strong face. A few weeks ago I decided to get together with several of Rick’s close friends and colleagues to remember him. I met with Bruce Lepolstat, a now retired radiologist; Nathan Ehrlich, a naturopath in private practice; Rick Sands, a medical doctor at Kaiser; and Kevin Davison, also a naturopath in private practice.

RICK

Depression, suicide and my friend Rick Perrie By Courtney Mather Maui Time Weekly: How did each of you first meet Rick? I’d love to hear your stories.

Lepolstat: I joined Maui Medical Group in 1990 and at that time Rick was still working there. I remember the first day on the job. As a new person you are kind of anxious. I remember Rick coming down for a consult, and his smile immediately made me feel at ease. That smile. He was just being himself. We had a chemistry together from the get-go. We became friends thereafter and I’ve always respected him on a professional level as well as being a great friend. We were able to have fun on a medical level and a social level.

Sands: I met Rick when I moved back to Maui in 1988. I don’t remember when I first met him but what I do really remember and appreciate is that Rick hired me to work at the Kihei clinic and paid me the best money to work there. It also made more abundance in my life because after that I started making more money everywhere else I worked. I really felt appreciated by him for the work I did. Like Bruce said, he made me feel like his best friend. He really encouraged me. He often suggested we go into practice together. I was very honored by that. We had lots of good times together. We did a lot of Hana

COVER STORY

Relays together. Rick even came to a Tantric introductory evening for a group I was a part of! He was very supportive. He lived it big.

Lepolstat: He lived intensely. MTW: Being doctors, you are responsible for patients all day long. This puts you in the public eye all day as well. I imagine that this could create a great deal of stress and be especially challenging for a physician struggling with depression.

Sands: Suicide and mental illness are higher in physicians. Lepolstat: Doctors are the worst patients because they deny and self-treat. Maybe because we know the consequences of what we have to go through if something is wrong.

Ehrlich: Time is a factor. I think doctors aren’t really aware of how habituated they become with severe time restraints. It’s so insidious—with time you become unaware of how much you take on. It’s not only the time, it’s the intensity of it. It starts in college, actually in high school. You start out in a highly competitive academic environment

Davison: And they don’t want it spread around the community. Because it does happen, doctor to doctor, or therapist to therapist.

Lepolstat: It does happen. It’s a small town. Ehrlich: This is why we are talking about starting a foundation in his memory that can be a safe haven for someone like a doctor to go to.

MTW:

I’ve gone through this dialogue with myself a million times. Rick wanted all of us to respect his privacy. Where do you draw the line between respecting someone’s privacy and breaking it to get help?

Ehrlich: Yes. Rick really wanted his privacy respected. Lepolstat: He had been planning this for a long time. He had read books and bought equipment. He had thought this out a long time. It wasn’t a spur of the moment thing. It was planned.

Sands: The thing about suicide–it’s still a moment in time. Seems to be true that if someone wants to kill themselves, they will. But still it’s a moment. If he could just have gotten through that moment... If he had spent the night in the hospital... Like Courtney said, where do you respect the person and separate the illness? We are so close to him, so how do you separate those? When people are manic they are hard to reach, they have this huge energy around them. When they come down they are easier to reach, and that’s a tough time for them.

Ehrlich: With Rick I always had a good time. He made you

that trains you to sacrifice a lot of yourself and your lifestyle, your studies and your career. You get used to that kind of lifestyle. Then, years later, one day something shatters in your world and you get a glimpse of what you have lost and how daunting it will be to try to recapture that part of your life. It is so important for healthcare providers to keep sacred some part of their world… a part that does not get sacrificed. It is like your temple that nurtures your own physical, mental and spiritual health.

Davison: That’s exactly what I went through and it’s why I pulled the plug and took some time off. I was going down that same road. I can see the constraints where you start to organize everything into time slots. The notorious thing is that doctors are always late. You are used to people waiting on you, so you don’t manage your time very well, and it’s a lot of pressure. I think it comes back to “Physician heal thyself.” Doctors are the worst patients. We don’t recognize a lot of what’s going on for us.

Ehrlich: Rick really did well when he took the time for himself. When he went to Colorado and went skiing, he was so recharged.

Lepolstat: Being a physician and trying to be a good physician—it’s a 24-hour-a-day job. You can try to put it behind, but in the back of your mind there are always questions like, “Did I give the right diagnosis?” I would try to put it aside to go biking, but it always came back. Like at 3 a.m., when I’d wake up in a cold sweat. So I was never totally free from my work. I’d be lying on the beach on vacation and be thinking about a case a year ago. It’s so hard to get away from. Underlying subliminal stress factor no matter what you do, and as the years go along it gets worse…

I saw Rick 10 days prior to him dying and we talked about the possibility of him going to Aspen. I thought he might be thinking about taking a year off. That’s why I was so astonished when I heard he took his life that Monday because I thought… His mood swings must have been so up and down.

Sands: I was gone the two weeks before he died, and I wondered if he was just sitting up there in his house by himself. But you guys had really reached out. He wasn’t in isolation up there.

Lepolstat: I talked to someone who said if we knew about this, we would have had a team of people going up there, being on his case 24 hours a day. When I heard that I thought, “Why didn’t I become more aggressive as far as finding more help for him? Why didn’t we call a psychiatrist?” We all knew he had talked about it. Maybe we denied that he wouldn’t do it. Maybe there’s a lesson to be learned there.

feel so okay, like, “Oh man, you are a good guy. You are a bud.”

Lepolstat: He could definitely laugh at situations, laugh at himself, get you to laugh at your own self.

Sands: What amazes me is that he did this for so many people. There are four of us here, and so many more out there. Even women had this connection.

MTW:

Yes.

Ehrlich: Especially the women! Sands: But he didn’t sleep. I can’t imagine the stressors of running that practice: hiring people, the billing, the computer system. But he did it. And he even did the Rocky Horror Picture Show with you, Nathan.

Ehrlich: That’s a touchy subject for me! He was the guy

wrong. But what is the point where you say, “I’m going to break that line of friendship and get help.”

throwing the shills in the audience: that role was just cut out for him. He’d be the guy in the audience yelling “Whore!” at Janet. Or “Where do you get your drugs from?” when the actor was about to say “Columbia.” He had all these little bits and he just nailed it! His part is a tradition in Rocky Horror. The audience members know what he’s going to say. It’s written into the dialogue. But by the end he was using poetic license and doing his own ones! That was the zenith of Rick’s enjoyment of life, and unless he was going to get up there and be one of those Transylvanians, that was about as good as it was going to get.

Ehrlich: In such a small community, it’s hard for a health-

Davison: I was sitting next to him at one performance and

Davison: I remember the first manic phase he had. I said, look we have to do something about this, because it’s going to lead somewhere. He needed to be supervised and not treating himself. He pulled out of it after that, then I heard he was seeing a psychiatrist. I talked to him and it seemed like he had it under control. And now I feel like you do.

Lepolstat: This is all in retrospect. We didn’t do anything

I had no idea he was supposed to be doing that! When he started yelling I thought, “Oh no, he’s losing it!” Remembering Rick: continued on page 13

Black and White and Full of Crap Lies run big, facts small in U.S. media A year ago the American media was pushing the Pat Tillman story with the heavy rotation normally reserved for living celebs like Michael Jackson. Tillman, the former NFL player who turned down a multi-million dollar football contract to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, became a centerpiece of the right’s Hamas-style death cult when he lost his life in the mountains of southeastern Afghanistan. To supporters of the wars and to many football fans, Tillman embodied ideals of self-sacrifice and post-9/11 butt-kicking in a hardbodied shell of chisel-chinned masculinity. Tillman’s quintessential nobility, we were told, was borne out by the story of his death—a tale that earned him a posthumous Silver Star. Whether you were for or against Bush’s wars, Americans were told, Tillman’s valor showed why you should support the troops. Young men were encouraged to emulate his praiseworthy example.

ily or the public until weeks after” the nationally televised martyr-a-thon. It gets worse. So desperate were the military brass to carry off their propaganda coup that they lied to Tillman’s brother, a fellow soldier who arrived on the scene shortly after the incident, about how he died. Writing in an army report, Brigadier General Gary Jones admits that the official cover-up even included “the destruction of evidence”: the army burned Tillman’s Ranger uniform and body armor to hide the fact that he had died in a hail of American bullets, fired by troops who had “lost situational awareness to the point they had no idea where they were.” “We didn’t want the world finding out what actually happened,” one soldier told Jones. A perfect summary of the war on terrorism. The weapons of mass destruction turned out to be a figment of Donald Rumsfeld’s imagination. The Thanksgiving turkey Bush presented to the troops turned out to be plastic, as much

Several thousand mourners gathered at Tillman’s May 3, 2004 memorial service to hear marquee names including Arizona Senator John McCain called upon all Americans to “be worthy of the sacrifices made on our behalf.” “Tillman died trying to save fellow members of the 75th Ranger Regiment caught in a crush of enemy fire,” the Arizona Republic quoted a fellow soldier addressing the crowd. Tillman, said his friend and comrade-at-arms, had told his fellow soldiers “to seize the tactical high ground from the enemy” to draw enemy fire away from another U.S. platoon trapped in an ambush. “He directly saved their lives with those moves. Pat sacrificed his life so that others could live.” It was, as the Washington Post wrote, a “storybook personal narrative”—one recounted on hundreds of front pages and network newscasts. It was also a lie. As sharp-eyed readers learned a few months ago from single-paragraph articles buried deep inside their newspapers, Pat Tillman died pointlessly, a hapless victim of “friendly fire” who never got the chance to choose between bravery and cowardice. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the Washington Post now reports that Pentagon and White House officials knew the truth “within days” after his April 22, 2004 shooting by fellow Army Rangers but “decided not to inform Tillman’s fam-

of a staged photo op as the gloriously iconic and phony toppling of Saddam’s statue in Baghdad by jubilant Iraqi civilians—well, actually a few dozen marines and CIA-financed operatives. So many of the Administration’s “triumphs” have been exposed as frauds that one has to wonder whether that was really Saddam in the spider hole. We shouldn’t blame the White House for producing lies; that’s what politicians do. But we expect better from the media who disseminate them. Case study: the Washington Post’s dutiful transcription of the Jessica Lynch hoax. Played up on page one and running on for thousands of words, the fanciful Pentagon version had the pilot from West Virginia emptying her clip before finally succumbing to a gunshot wound (and possible rape) by evil Iraqi ambushers, then freed from her tormentors at a heavily-guarded POW hospital. Like the Pat Tillman story, it was pure fiction. Private Lynch, neither shot nor sexually violated, said she was injured when her vehicle crashed. She never got off a shot because her gun jammed. As she told reporters who were willing to listen, her Iraqi doctors and nurses had saved her life. For journalists supposedly dedicated to uncovering the truth and informing the public, this is exactly the opposite of how things ought to be. Corrections and exposés should always run bigger, longer and more often than initial, discredited stories. MTW

Remembering Rick: continued from page 11

Ehrlich: By Halloween he had just started creating his own ones.

Davison: Yeah, he’d throw in a few extra. Ehrlich: As an actor you are waiting for his beat to throw in your line. And then he’d extend his part out… He stole the show.

MTW:

Does anyone remember the story behind his game show streak?

Ehrlich: The game show was called Press Your Luck. He is the all-time money winner for this show. He’s like a cult hero!

Sands: He was in medical school at the time.

Ehrlich: Family Feud! Now that’s a great story. It was down to the last question, “Name something that comes in pairs.” His family needed to get one answer right to win. So the family is conferring. His brother Gregg says “a pair of boots.” Another one says “a pair of slacks.” But Rick is the captain. So the game host goes, “Okay Richard, what has your team decided?” Rick decides he’s not going to listen to what anyone else has said, and he answers, “I’m going to go with… a pair of lovebirds!” The game host looks at him in disbelief and pauses. “Okay, well then, let’s see a pair of lovebirds!” Needless to say, the Perrie family lost the show.

Sands: He won enough money to buy his house in Los Angeles on Press Your Luck.

Lepolstat: It was a strategy. He was good at strategies. Ehrlich: Rick was a genius. He’d go in there and just work it. Could you tell me more about Rick as a practitioner?

Ehrlich: That’s how I first met Rick. I met him on the phone when I needed someone with better diagnostic skills. Lots of times over the years I would call him and ask questions and he was more than happy to help out, under any circumstance. He just made me feel so comfortable. He’s a busy doctor, he might not see this patient, but he would overextend himself to make sure that whomever I was treating was taken care of. And, he would take any referrals I would send him. He was always there for a patient.

Davison: An interesting thing about Rick is that he and I would many times see the same patients. I would see things from a more energetic approach, and he’d be looking at it from a disease perspective. But he was generally always willing to consider that other aspect. He could put aside his diagnostic mind, and say, “Yeah, you know I never really thought of it that way.” Even though it wasn’t his background or his understanding. He was very open like that. And I admired it.

Sands: Since we are both in allopathic medicine we talked a COVER STORY

Lepolstat: Everyone handles it different, because everyone has different personalities.

Ehrlich: Music. Music does it for me. Music, Capoeira, body disciplines, sports.

Lepolstat: Running and cycling are great for me. I also made a pact with my wife that at age 55 I would retire. I’m the oldest one here. So I was doing it the longest amount of time. It wears you so much. It starts to take its toll on you. At age 55 I decided there are other things I wanted to do. For me, I would handle the stresses purely by sports. And movies. Going to the movies.

Davison: For me it’s about getting in the water and being

It may have been for years. I wonder if he ever thought, “I wonder if my friends know how long I hung in there to be there for them.”

Davison: From one side we can see it as a psychological condition. But then it’s also a metaphysical crisis, when one realizes there are two parts that can’t come together. These parts can get further and further apart, as in Bipolar Disorder, unless you medicate yourself to dull the two aspects of yourself. We all go through that, where we overindulge in self-criticism. And then you come back to a point of self-referral, and things get lighter and feel brighter. We appreciate the present state of being. I think when you push it, and medicate yourself, and have sleep deprivation, and then an injury, then those two parts of yourself get harder and harder to get back into unity.

What might you recommend to any doctors out there who feel they might be struggling like Rick was?

Sands: One thing is to have a physician who you trust and can go see and talk to. Most doctors don’t set that up for themselves.

Lepolstat: Have a good support network. Sands: Rick had men’s group, close friends. I just would have liked to see him have a medical professional he was seeing. I’d recommend setting up a relationship with a therapist.

Lepolstat: Find a support group with others with the

Davison: We all have moments of it and want to get closer to that place where we experience integration and become more present more of the time.

Sands: It plays out on many different levels. Both personally with Rick, and I’m also trying to generalize it. He told me that 30 percent of people who are Bipolar commit suicide. He didn’t want the diagnosis. He was looking for something else to explain what he was going through. But this time, I think it was a confirmation that he had cycled again, and this was what he was going to be living with, and the implications of that.

Sands: We all kind of looked around like, “What do you do?” And really there’s not a great venue here for that. We hide our vulnerabilities. I think the professional relationship serves a purpose. There’s the opportunity to relate. There’s the confidentiality. One of the challenges is that it’s meeting with one of your peers. I don’t mean it has to be a psychiatrist or an M.D. But someone with which to develop a therapeutic relationship. That’s a start.

Lepolstat: I’d like to see more education out there so mental illness isn’t such a stigma. It’s an illness just like heart disease and cancer.

Davison: Yes.

Ehrlich: That’s going to take a lot of education.

Sands: So I was really disappointed when he decided not to

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

International House of Wine The ‘guiltless quaffability’ of Café Marc Aurel The Third Man is classic film noir. It’s a tale of moral ambiguity involving romance, intrigue and making money in a diluted penicillin black market. During one of the most climactic chase scenes, the main character sits in a café called Café Marc Aurel in post-WWII Vienna.

Cafe Marc Aurel

PHOTO: KIRSTEN GUENTHER

28 N. Market St., Wailuku. Open Mon-Fri, 7 a.m.-9 p.m. or later. Sat, 7 a.m.-1 p.m. Call 244-0852. There’s another Café Marc Aurel in Wailuku, down the street from the historic Iao Theater. While influences of antiquated European charm could be seen in the brick archways and rustic décor, Café Marc Aurel is decidedly more New World-Old World. The Wailuku café is a sophisticated urban jazz wine bar and coffeehouse. The walls are painted Bangkok Rust-red and Peanut Brittle-orange, with hardwood floors. There are customized monkey pod tables surrounded by iron-backed chairs with exoticprint cushions. When I asked about the eclectic décor, Aurel laughed. “This is the inside of my mind,” he said. “It’s a piece of everywhere I’ve been—Spain, Rome, Germany, France, etc.—put together with help from my mom, Claire.” The café patronage is just as varied, mixing Wailuku public officials, lawyers and judges with nearby Iao Theatre actors and patrons, restaurant industry workers and jazz buffs. Aurel features an unprecedented, rotating list of 80 wines by the glass—40 white and 40 reds including Ports, Bubbly and Rosé selections. The red wines are stored at cellar temperature, 55 degrees in a humidity-controlled environment. There’s also a reserve for customers’ private cellars, where guests can store their favorite or unfinished bottles. With so many bottles in rotation, wine

preservation is important. Aurel uses a system called Le Verre de Vin. Opened wines are maintained by incorporating a mechanically calibrated infusion of carbon dioxide into the bottle, creating a precise pressure equilibrium that locks in freshness. Not that the wines stick around for very long anyway. “I have my control check,” he said. “But at the same time, the wines control themselves.” Rather than bog down his wine list with the more familiar brand names of yore, Aurel innovates, encouraging exploration with cutting edge vineyards and blends. He personally chooses every selection on the list, and says that the wine he drinks depends upon his mood. He explained that New World wines are “more fruity, more like a party, more alive,” while Old World wines are more of the earth. This week’s fave is the Bandol ($10), an Old World, full-bodied Mouvedre from Provance. Aurel admits he’s an Old World kind of guy. His goal is to take the intimidation out of wine drinking. He’s interested in a practical education on wines, putting the focus back on individual tastes and experience. “Most people say Cabernet is dry—the Pinot Noir goes well with fish,” said Aurel. “I want to break the mold of what you think the grapes are. I don’t know everything. I’m learning, just like you. That’s the fun of it!” Aurel’s menu complements wine and beer tasting nicely, with close to a dozen cheeses, including organic Gorgonzola, Italian Taleggio, aged black wax cow Gouda from Holland, and Irish cheddar. You can order a chunk of cheese with bread ($5) or opt for a mix of three to four served with dolmas, olives and kalamata spread ($7.50 and $13). “I believe that in the future, we’re going to lighter meals at night,” said Aurel. “In Germany, we say cheese closes the stomach.” Of course, if your appetite extends beyond cheese, the meat plate features German Franks, Landjaeger, Black Forest Ham and Buendner Fleisch served with bread and olives ($7.50). There’s also the Piatto Verdura ($7.50), a platter of seasoned baby artichokes, dolmas, panzanella marinara and tzatziki with pita and bread.

That’s the second biggest cheese plate I’ve ever seen And Panzanella Marinara ($5) is a refreshing salad of chopped tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, green onions, olives and bread marinated with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. As we sampled, conversation flowed as copiously as the ‘97 Cotes du Rhone ($5.50). We talked of karaoke in Japan as we tried the Sassicaia Grappa ($10), which Aurel called “the cognac of Italy.” We sampled Tawny and Ruby Ports, from 10 year Kopke ($5) to 1970 Fonseca ($22), while discussing the merits of saxophonist Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Another friend joined us as we tasted Rosés with Asiago cheese, followed up by sorbet and Col Vetoraz Prosecco ($7.50), a sparkling wine we selected because of its juicy character and “guiltless quaffability.” Then it was time for the Scotch.

But for now, Aurel is enjoying just being open. “I’m loving what I do and doing what I love,” he said.

EMPLOYEE OF THE

WEEK AS TOLD TO GABRIELLE POCCIA

Rafael Diaz Line Cook, Mala When I was 16 I started working in the kitchen at a hotel in Mexico. The hotel is called Quinta Real. It’s in Monterey, where I am from, which is about an hour away from Mexico City. After that I worked for two years in the kitchen of a restaurant called Pangea, one of the nicest restaurants in Mexico. Mark Ellman of Maui Tacos came down to the restaurant and along with several other cooks from Pangea, including myself, made Pacific Rim cuisine for some special guests. It interested me so much. Until recently in Mexico it has been mainly French cuisine and other older styles of cooking but now Pacific Rim and food from Hawai’i has started to make an impression. A year after this visit I contacted Alliance Abroad, which is an international organization that helps people get internships in different parts of the world for one year. I then called Ellman and asked if I could work for him in Hawai’i. I have now been at Mala for six months and I want to learn everything that I can. I really enjoy working with the chefs Ellman and Sergio Perez. I am learning so much for them. In our spare time several of the cooks get together and with Sergio we work on creating new dishes for the restaurant. Being a line cook at Mala has taught me a lot about creativeness with food. When I go back to Mexico in six months I will continue my schooling. I have already taken some classes but don’t have a degree yet. I really like Hawai’i and like learning about the culture and the activities like hula. Even though I came here alone, I am getting to know the other chefs well and we have a very good partnership. We make some very good food and the style of cuisine is so different than what I was making back home in Mexico. MTW

DEBORAH LEE GALESI

LADY IN WAITING

(OIL ON LINEN & WOOD, 15.75 X 11.8125)

INFINITE DANCE OF BLISS

DEBORAH LEE GALESI, having lived various lives between the Universe and Mother Earth, is born once a gain, in Paterson, New Jersey, U.S.A. As a small child, she discovered a great love for oil painting, and was encouraged by her teacher to follow this strong passion. Eleanor Egg was her first private art instructor. After some years, Deborah graduated from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in art and psychology. Then continuing her private lessons with Maestro Raymond Whyte and Maestro Gene Scarpentoni, from the “Art Student’s League,” New York City, she was able to show her work in New York, Colorado, New Jersey and France. Her work is collected privately in the United States, France, Japan, Italy and Mexico. Deborah taught for some years in the U.S.A. and after Meastro Gene Scarpentoni’s death, she travelled all over Europe in search of a new Maestro. She found herself in Florence, Italy, and as she continued her artistic path, Deborah began studying at Villa Schifanoia, but not to her satisfaction. Therefore, she happily found herself as an apprentice with ben Long, a student of Annigoni specializing in portraits. Today, Deborah shows us various styles in her work: Conceptual, Impressionism, Symbolism, Naif, Fantatique, New Realism, and/or Surrealism depending on her spiritual moments. Thus, her paintings are based on the vibrations received from places or lifetimes, or from space without time. In reality, since childhood, Deborah has always been attracted to Florence by the magical energy of the Renaissance, which allowed her to know her inner self more fully. Deborah’s paintings transmit many messages for humanity, so that humanity may remember the true fundamental values of love, life and nature. Her art captures the invisible world and metamorphosis, essential and important. These are the keys to believing in our dreams. Deborah’s aspirations and dreams have always been to live in a New Renaissance (Rebirth) with balance. She decided to call the “Avanti! Sempre Avanti!” She launched an International L’Atelier in which we can get a creative vortex of energy flowing for working together and far apart in harmony, love, brotherhood and sisterhood. The artist, Deborah Lee Galesi, now resides in the state of Hawaii on the Island of Maui. After getting married and spending several years remodeling her home, the fine artist is ready to share her work with her native country, the United States of America. Deborah Lee Galesi has recently returned to the Islands from a very successful show in New York. The following article was published in the Gallery & Studio Magazine (written by critic, Maurice Taplinger).

JUNE 2, 2005

DA KINE CALENDAR

of the centerpieces of Deborah Lee Galesi’s recent solo exhibition at the 584 location of Montserrat Gallery (which will include her work in its year-round OsalonneBroadway on moving to its new space in Chelsea), was a large oil on canvas called “Look Inside,” which took its inspiration from the biblical Psalm 23: ”You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.” The painting presented a kind of freeform contemporary version of The Last Supper, populated by an eclectic cast of characters, some in fill color, others in grisaille, representing several nationalities. They were gathered around a circular table split down the middle, as if by an earthquake, its pyramidal opening revealing a rainbow-vibrant realm of cosmic phenomena, mountain ranges,m waterfalls, winding rivers and verdant foliage. Within this vast visionary landscape, which could represent an earthly Paradise, a woman in native dress bathed an infant in shallow water, while white swans glided along, porpoises left through the air in formation, and a luminous angel waded nearby. For all its multilayered imagistic complexity, as the title “Look Inside” suggests, the message of the painting seemed profoundly simple: Look past the conference tables where bargains are struck between government leaders and politicians negotiating the fate of humanity to one’s own inner being, where the real truth of existence lies within easy reach. One of the things that makes Galesi’s work do fascinating is her willingness to take risks that would daunt a less intrepid painter, as seen in another large canvas called “Infinite Quantum Leap: Infinite Possibilities,” which has become an emblematic work of her career, having been repeatedly reproduced in the Village Voice and other publications. In this composition a prehistoric hunter and another figure who appears to be a medieval knight brandishing a long sword ride the back of a fire-breathing dinosaur, while a huge wave of water whooshes up behind the huge creature like a jet-trail, a white dolphin discernible within its white foam. And far be it for Galesi to stop there: the figure of a shaman sitting in the lotus position holding a ceremonial staff and a sort of sparkler god with luminous, wiggling rays emanating from his entire body can be seen levitating in the deep, nocturnal darkness surrounding the main figures! In this large oil, too, the artist appears to be paying tribute to indigenous inspirations and imparting wisdom channels from the ancients. Yet the real triumph, in strictly aesthetic terms, is how successfully Galesi balances all of these disparate images within a composition that goes far beyond the efforts of other international Neo-Expressionists in her all-out willingness to share the truth of her experience with the viewer. For Galesi, a native of Patterson, New Jersey, this means calling upon the technical skills that she honed at the Art Students League in New York City and during a long periods of study in Florence, Italy, where she soaked up the methods of the Renaissance masters who were her earliest inspiration, in order to make every image that she paints a palpable representation of her inner quality. This a complex undertaking indeed, since Galesi’s inner reality is fed by a variety of esoteric sources, which include her fascination with everything from Native American Culture to the art of the Etruscans and the ancient Egyptians, as well as the New Age theories of

(OIL 48.125 C 48.125)

Deepak Chopra, among any number of other passing interests which invariably find their way to her pictures. An image especially emblematic of Galesi’s spiritual path is the oil on canvas she calls “Infinite Dance of Bliss,” in which a figure that appears to be a symbolic self-portrait floats above a volcanic landscape in a stratosphere where smaller beings of pure light seem to surf on streams of purplish illumination emanating from the stars. Here, on a canvas whose perfectly symmetrical square format enhances the composition’s sense of infinite space, is a vision of transcendence to rival those of no less delightfully daft a British visionary than the great William Blake! And while this could seem an enterprise fraught with peril for a contemporary painter, Galesi possesses both the technical skill and the spiritual conviction to make the painting succeed. Even more startling in conceptual terms, yet just as successful in its own manner is the large oil called “Swept Away by the Dolphin Vortex,” in which a dolphin with the body of a woman rises like a Botticelli Venus out of the sea, set against a watery swirl that gives Galesi the opportunity to flaunt her virtuoso painterly skills in one of her boldest, most dazzlingly Expressionistic compositions to date. Deborah Lee Galesi has already amassed an impressive exhibition history around the country and in various places abroad: France, Japan, Australia and particularly Italy, where she is especially esteemed. She has also exhibited in New York City in the past. However, the sheer range and scope of her most recent solo show at Montserrat Gallery (which included many more paintings than those described here, among them smaller works such as the pensive nude “Solitude,” presenting a more intimate side of her talent) seemed to make is a landmark in her career.

Going to the Dogtown Now playing islandwide [FILM] In the 1970s guys like Stacy Peralta, Skip Engblom and Jay Adams who got their adrenaline rush by riding their skateboards into empty swimming pools. Following on the success of the documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys, we have Lords of Dogtown, a semi-fictionalized account—it stars Heath Ledger and Johnny Knoxville, if that tells you anything—of the teenage surfers who pioneered “extreme sports” in Venice, California. Like all morality tales, they lived the good life, thrilling in their newfound hobby until it got to be big business and then they started battling each other for power and money. Look for lots of cool skating and Rebecca De Mornay. [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]

Performing the Prophet Saturday, 8 p.m., Mandala Ethnic Arts

Outfoxed!

[MUSIC/POETRY] Kahlil Gibran (18831931) was a famous poet, philosopher and artist born in Lebanon. The Prophet is by far his most well known book of 26 poetic essays, and has been translated into more than 20 languages. In it, he writes stuff like this (“On Love”): “For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you/Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning/Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun/So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.” Sigh. Yeah, like that. So apparently, this guy Felix is going to recite this all from memory along with musical accompaniment on guitar by Gerod. Expect a lot of head-nodding and slaphappy smiling. $6-$10 sliding scale. Mandala Ethnic Arts is located at 29 Baldwin Ave. in Paia.

Friday, 7 p.m. at Maui Booksellers in Wailuku [FILM/POLITICAL] Outfoxed is a very informative but terribly depressing documentary about how the people who run Fox News are a bunch of right-wing slugs who bitch and moan about how they’re “fair and balanced” but in fact just shill for the Republican Party. The film includes internal memos obtained by the filmmakers as well as on-camera interviews with former Fox employees—their identities carefully concealed—who talk about how their bosses used to boost the pro-Dubya angle on everything. A better film would have focused on why Fox News is so damn popular despite pushing the Neanderthal line, but Outfoxed is great if you want to boo and hiss at the screen. Maui Booksellers is located at the corner of Market and Vineyard in Wailuku. [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]

DAY

Jesus Says Otis Rocks! Saturday, 10 p.m. at Life’s a Beach [MUSIC] We’ve got a little something for everyone this week. There’s a political documentary, an educational day of nature fun, a night of mystical poetry and this: Christian punk rock. Yay! Otis is made up of brothers Nate (drums) and Noah (vocalist, bass)—both from highly esteemed local hard-rock band Absence of Void—and their brilliant guitarist buddy, Steve. This is their first club gig but they’ve been playing casually around Maui for about eight months and word is, they absolutely rock. No mamby-pamby altar boys here, Otis delivers solid but melodic core with a more quasi-political than spiritual bent. Even so, it’s not likely they’ll be playing many over-21 shows (ie, club gigs) so catch ‘em while you can and still get a beer.

FILM

(888) HONOLUA

BY COLE SMITHEY

Boxing for Oscars Ron Howard delivers the first Oscar magnet of the year Cinderella Man is the first movie of 2005 to have multiple Oscar nomination contingencies thanks to an expertly acted and directed script. Russell Crowe brings his talents to bear as Jim Braddock, a Depression-era family man and boxer who keeps his priorities straight in the face of unrelenting social and personal turmoil. Renee Zellweger rises to the acting challenge opposite Crowe as Jim’s wife Mae who provides a stable if worried guardian of familial wellbeing.

Cinderella Man

★★★★★ Rated PG-13/144 mins.

But it’s Paul Giamatti (Sideways) who glues the story together as Joe Gould, Jim’s commendable boxing manager who guides his accomplished boxer through every fight. Ron Howard (The Missing) utilizes the music of silence to underscore the deeply felt movie based on real-life boxing underdog James J. Braddock. The boxing sequences here are better than those of Martin Scorsese’s bar-setting Raging Bull. Cinderella Man has an inverted narrative structure beginning on a high note then immediately pulling the rug out so we feel as if we’re watching a third act in the second. When we meet Braddock it’s during the highlife of the Roaring ‘20s and the workaday boxer returns to his loving wife in their large New Jersey home with a wad of cash and wearing a suit disguising the

ferocious battle he’s just won in the ring. Cut to 1929 when Jim and his wife are living in a basement apartment with barely any money for electricity or food for their three small children. Jim’s son Jay (Connor Price) steals salami from a local deli and the prudent father goes with the boy to return the meat to the shop owner. Instead of reprimanding Jay, the humiliated father talks to his son about why he chose to steal in the first place. Jim discovers that his son is afraid of being sent away because the family can’t afford to keep him. The sensitive father makes a promise to his child that he will never send him away. On the surface this might seem like a sappy movie moment, but because it’s played in for its hyper-realistic implications, we come away influenced by the predicament. It’s through these orbiting social interactions that we become acquainted with a wrecked social milieu that, no matter how far from public memory, resonates as a terrible time in American life that could yet come again. The politics of the era are depicted through Jim’s dockworker friend Mike Wilson (played well by Paddy Considine), a former Wall Street broker who takes up a personal battle for social reform. Braddock soon fights a desperate bout against heavyweight champ Tommy Loughran that sends him in a downward spiral away from the only thing he knows. By the time 1933 rolls around Braddock fights so poorly that the boxing commission revokes his boxing license. As Jim goes to the Hoboken docks everyday to stand on line for work, director Howard keeps music out of the way of the action. It’s a choice Howard makes throughout easily two thirds of the film, and it gives the actors and story room to breathe in the dusty air of the Depression. The silence works to underscore the resilience of characters who have nothing to buffer their exposed lives. The rhythm of the language and the street sounds set the score for a distinctive brand of truth that’s rarely evinced in modern Hollywood films. In his darkest moment Jim receives emergency aid from the government before walking into the club where his former boxing manager and boxing commissioner congregate. At a cost to his dignity Jim reminds Gould of his desperation and is soon rewarded with a bout that puts him back in the ring. Nobody does working-class-hero better than Russell Crowe. He keeps the audience acutely aware of Braddock’s dental condition that necessitates a roughhewn denture. This small but significant detail bonds the audience to Braddock’s side as he goes up against the heavyweight champ Max Baer (Craig Bierko) who has left two opponents dead in the ring. The climatic bout of the film is an astonishing boxing sequence that’s unforgettable for the way it draws on character traits to clinch a story about survival against all odds. MTW

is going to be funny.

DEAR FRANKIE 5 & 7:30 P.M., CASTLE THEATER This "subtle and graceful directorial debut" (Chicago Reader) is "filled with small moments of tenderness, insight and considerable wisdom" (Hollywood Reporter) as it unspools a story of "stirring poignancy, warmth and emotional insight" about a young mother, who secretly hides the fact from her son that his real father is nowhere to be found, by sending the boy an endless chain of love letters from his (imaginary) always-at-sea “Dad.” Rated PG-13. 102 min.

New This Week CINDERELLA MAN - (PG13) - Drama - Set in New York during the Great Depression era, this tells the true story of heavyweight champion James Braddock’s (Russell Crowe) rise to stardom. There aren’t any glass slippers or magic pumpkins in this film but there’s a lot of drama, as Braddock struggles to overcome poverty and provide for his wife (Renee Zellweger) through boxing. Directed by Ron Howard, it’s nice to see Crowe back in some Gladiator-type action in this over two-hour long flick. Scary fact: Ben Affleck was going to play the role of Braddock back in 2000, let’s all breathe a sign of relief that he didn’t! See Film Critique, p. 24. LORDS OF DOGTOWN - (PG13) - Drama - This movie is a based on a true story of dudes who revolutionized skateboarding in the 1970s. They managed to bring back skateboarding and made it more rebellious and badass. “Dogtown” refers to the formerly dangerous neighborhood between Venice and Santa Monica in California, where they skateboarded in empty Hollywood pools. Their crazy antics allowed skateboarding to gain respect and become an international sport. Some drama takes place when the success the guys get from skateboarding makes friendships hard to keep because everyone is worried about himself.

KINGDOM OF HEAVEN - Action/Adventure, Drama and Romance - (R) - Now here is a common stranger in a strange land, finds himself thrusted into a decades long war. Ultimately, he must protect the people of Jerusalem from overwhelming forces while striving to keep a fragile peace. Oh yeah, and he falls in love with an exotic and forbidden queen, and rises to knighthoodom. What a guy. KUNG FU HUSTLE - (R) - Action/Adventure, Foreign, Comedy - Shanghai in the 1930s is a very dangerous time when gangs ruled the streets. The most notorious of these, the Axes, strike fear into the hearts of honest citizens and inspire admiration in one young wannabe, who wreaks havoc when he recklessly poses as an Axe member and causes a riot between the real gang members and the denizens of a housing project. THE LONGEST YARD - (PG13) - Comedy - This remake of the 1974 Burt Reynolds classic stars Adam Sandler and, um, Reynolds again as current and former football star, respectively, who wind up in stir together. They end up putting a team together to play the guards and hilarity ensues. At least, it did back in ’74. Also stars Chris Rock. MADAGASCAR - (PG) - Comedy, Kids/Family and Animation - Ah! Finally a movie with stars we can respect: a lion, a zebra, a giraffe and a pregnant hippo (voiced by Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer and Jada Pinkett-Smith, respectively). See, the animals were all “residents” of the zoo but when one of them disappears, the other three go looking for him and all four end up getting captured, put in boxes and shipped back to Africa. Only, something happens with the ship and the four wash up on the shores of Madagascar, having to fend for themselves after being “cared for” by humans all their lives. Yeah, I know, it sounds fishy to me, too, but that’s just half of it! Also stars (the voice of) Cedric the Entertainer.

Okay, hasn’t this story been told already? Charlie Cantilini (Jennifer Lopez) has finally met the man of her dreams (geez, J-Lo, another one??), Dr. Kevin Fields (Michael Vartan). There's just one problem—his overbearing and controlling mother (Jane Fonda). Also stars the hilariously sassified Wanda Sykes. SAHARA - (PG13) - Action/Adventure - Explorer Dirk Pitt (Matthew McConaughey) takes on a treasure hunt in several regions of North Africa in search of a ship called The Ship of Death—why, Dirk, why?! Anyway, along with his smarty pants sidekick (Steve Zahn), they use their clever heroics to help out the beautiful Doctor Eva (Penelope Cruz), who believes this ship is the reason why there are a lot of mysterious deaths. She’s smart, that one. STAR WARS: EPISODE III – REVENGE OF THE SITH - (PG-13) - Action/Adventure, Science Fiction/Fantasy - The furry and lovable Chewbacca makes his anticipated return to the big screen in the last installment (really!) of the Star Wars trilogy. Get ready to witness the transformation of young Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) into the evil and deep-voiced man in black, Darth Vader (because, let’s face it, without the voice he would not be cool). The rest of the gang is ready for some action as well, including the bearded Obi-Wan Kenobi (sexy Scottish Ewan McGregor, mmmmm), the Senator Padme Amidala and her insane hair (Natalie Portman) and best of all, Yoda! People go crazy for that little green guy, agreed?… Too bad we all know how this trilogy ends. UNLEASHED - (R) - Action/Adventure - Danny (Jet Li) has lived his whole life without any sort of normal socializing and with only one lesson learned: how to fight. He is “owned” and treated like a dog—including having to wear a collar (ew, kinky!)—by his boss, Bart (Bob Hoskins). After a car accident lands Bart in a coma (um, can we say karma??), Danny’s on the run and meets a blind piano tuner (Morgan Freeman) who uses music to teach Danny some things about the world and about being human.

Then they decide these pants must be magic, so they buy them and send them to each friend for one week over summer as a way to stay in touch. The movie has a good cast (Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel) and a promising storyline, so if you can get over the title—and I’m sure your boyfriend/husband won’t, so don’t bother—it might be worth seeing.

Divine inspiration from Chandrika When she was 24, poet Charlotte McLaughlin created and managed the Philadelphia Hare Krishna Food for Life program. They sheltered more than 120 homeless men, women and children. According to the program, they served “500 offered and blessed vegetarian meals.” Now called Food for All, it continues to be one of the biggest social service providers in Philadelphia.

bliss and peace to inspiration and direction.” Her years spent in a Krishna temple helped her find inspiration for her poetry. McLaughlin said she prays for a poem and will “write the entire poem in one flow.” She also said she rarely goes back and edits her poetry. When asked what her poetry tries to convey, McLaughlin said that it “seeks to convey the sweetness and personal nature of the absolute, where Radha and Krishna engage in

Saturday, 7 p.m. at The Studio Maui. Tickets: $10. Call 575-9390.

Beneath the singing surface is a silent depth. Strange weeds drift and flow. Fish move noiseless and slow. Never happy or sad. Not bad for someone whose peers were probably playing in the dirt. McLaughlin has since released several CDs filled with her inspirational poetry. Her newest album, Absolute Romance, debuts June 4 and is a poetic telling of Radha and Krishna’s tragic separation and reunion. McLaughlin’s release event of Absolute Romance will feature the flute and sitar music of Shastro and Nadama, who McLaughlin praises as accomplished New Age and world fusion musicians. McLaughlin says she became interested in the Krishna religion when she just 19 years old. “I was internally guided to a Radha Krishna temple in Florida,” she told me. “I was attracted to the ecstasy of loving devotion, dancing and kirtan or singing for God and Goddess.” While she was living in the Krishna temple, McLaughlin studied philosophy and learned the practiced art of chanting. “This has stayed with me my whole life,” she said. “Through practice I gain everything from

Chandrika’s CD Release

McLaughlin—otherwise known as Chandrika—spent five years of her young life living in a Philadelphia Krishna temple, praying and devoting herself to Radha and Krishna. She was also the media coordinator for a Supreme Court appeal that kept the Krishna religion from losing $15 million and countless temples across the country. That’s why it’s no surprise McLaughlin’s poetry is filled with the common theme of love. She began writing poems at the age of five. Her first poem was simple but promising:

pastimes of love.” Absolute Romance aims to give the listener “an experience of their divine spiritual nature on a soul level,” she added. She mentioned that some listeners of her CD felt like they went to another world. “They probably did,” McLaughlin said. Absolute Romance features McLaughlin’s poetry and the music of Patrick Bernard, known for his award-winning Atlantis Angelis. He has won two Felix Awards, which is like a Grammy in Canada. She mentioned that the daily spiritual practice of chanting has helped guide her poetry, as well as raising her son and starting and running shelters for the homeless. “It keeps me connected to my soul and eternal identity and relatively free from fear,” she said. The years McLaughlin spent writing poetry have made her realize that not worrying about writing the perfect poem allows her words to flow easier. The less she labors over a poem, she said, the more she’s able to “bring gems from the spiritual world” into her poetry. When she’s not saving the world, McLaughlin continues to live a very active spiritual life. She’s a massage therapist and hypotherapist at a yoga retreat center. Most mornings she also attends local services at Maui temples and gives poetry readings. When I asked McLaughlin about the nature of her poetry, she said that “any flaws would be mine, as I try to stay out of the way of the creative, divine inspiration of it all.” MTW

NOTICES

Get to work. It’s incredibly rare when you can rack up accomplishments like this, with such ease. Usually you get distracted or derailed by some pressing emotion, some imminent drama, but not right now. You’ve got unbelievably productive focus this week. Take advantage of it. You know yourself; this kind of drive won’t last long; sooner or later you’ll get swamped by another tide of feeling that’ll put you—at least partially—out of commission for a while. So put in some overtime. Earn yourself some slack now, for when you’ll inevitably need it, later.

HIV COUNSELING AND TESTING

This week you get new eyeglasses, astrologically speaking. Maybe the old ones were scratched up, or perhaps you required a new prescription. In any case, you weren’t quite aware of how blurred and fuzzy and indistinct your world had become. Now that everything’s coming into sharp focus and crystalline clarity, the inefficiency of your old way of seeing is obvious. Take action. It’s been ages since you knew, so clearly, exactly what you wanted to do, and how to go about it. It’s a use-it-or-lose-it scenario, so I say act on your new-and-improved vision, so you don’t have to go back to the relatively murky befuddlement you’ve been suffering for months.

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. In Hana call 248-7801, Lanai 5656722, and Molokai 553-9086.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Go to the beautiful park on the far side of town. Bring the book(s) you’ve been meaning to finish (or start). Later, arrange to meet that acquaintance you exchanged numbers with at a party a month ago. That’s my advice. Simple. Nothing exciting; you’ll be able to catch up on your reading, and have a nice get-together with a potential new friend. Some weeks, that’s all that happens, and that’s just fine. I think you’re in for a perfectly pleasant and enjoyable week. The only thing that could ruin it is if you’ve got your heart set on more.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Last week I referred to your adaptability as your strength. Naturally, it’s also your curse—which you may discover, to your dismay, now. Anything as versatile and useful as your resilience cuts both ways. It can dramatically improve your life, impress people, and enhance your chances of survival, but it can also damage your credibility, alienate friends, and backfire. You have two options: You can, of course, refuse to change, remain as rigidly fixed as possible, and avoid both benefits and drawbacks of your ability—but that’d be so lame and boring I’d have to stop speaking to you. The other option is far superior: like any superhero, the only way to master your power is to use it. Practice makes perfect, and screwing up along the way is part of the deal.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) You’re not afraid of darkness, nor of being dark. You’ll go there, when necessary. So when confrontations become quite brutal and ugly this week, you’re likely to be tempted to turn up the evil factor and fight fire with fire. Resist the urge, though, Scorpio. It’s totally unnecessary, since you can actually win (or happily resolve) these dread scenarios while keeping your hands clean and your heart pure. Plain old courage, dynamism and creativity, along with a dollop of compassion, will deliver victory, fame and the actual admiration of your opponents. Save the dirty dark stuff for later, when you might need it.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Sex is the answer. I’m not kidding. The stresses of your life, the power struggles, the battles of wills, the workload; these are monstrous drains on your ability to cope. They have the power to drag you down or even kill you if you don’t take care of yourself. The answer isn’t a cold beer and hours in front of the television—even if you had enough time for that, it’s not strong enough medicine to counter all the shit you have to deal with right now. Sex is the answer. Get freaky with it. Right now you need pleasurable connection with another person (or other people). Don’t deny yourself, or you’ll pay the not so pretty consequences.

MUSICAL INSTRUCTION

Don’t be passive-aggressive with yourself. Deep down, you know what you need. It might even be a scary kind of drastic change. That’s why you might steer events towards it only semi-consciously. This can lead to sketchy scenarios like sleeping with someone “by accident,” or absentmindedly sabotaging your own work so you get fired, thereby forcing yourself to move on, out of that job or relationship, etc. That’s so messy and unnecessary. Master your terror. Life is full of upheavals. Luckily, you have the power to control this one, if you’re courageous enough to do so. Steer your own ship. Don’t just release the rudder and wait until you crash.

Your opponent is as transparent as a dreaming dog. When your canine buddy’s asleep, you can guess exactly what he’s up to, from the sounds he’s making, the twitching of his paws, his breathing. He sends lots of easily-interpretable clues out into the waking world. Whoever you’re up against, in whatever arena, is unconsciously doing the same exact thing. Careful observation could reveal shitloads about her devious (and deviant) thoughts, motivations and immediate intentions. Trust your observations and instincts, and act on them immediately. If you don’t, things will be plain enough in hindsight—when the only available action is kicking yourself.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Overstimulated, much? You will be this week, as you’re swamped with work—and not just at your job. Responsibilities are piling up, and you’re fast on your way to a nervous breakdown. There’s no time to unwind, even, so all you can do is try to have fun with it, and not overreact; in other words, avoid throwing your hands up and quitting your job, or any other kind of rash decision. Just get one small thing done at a time, then do the next thing, and so on. Oh, and avoid coffee—it’ll just make you more nervous than you already are.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) I almost want you to walk around wearing a blindfold this week. Your intuition is so much stronger than your actual sight at the moment, and covering your eyes could force you to trust it. This is your kind of week, because the best thing you can do is be whimsical. If something tells you to take a different route home, or pop into a café, or do anything out of the ordinary, heed it whenever you can. You already know that your gut is wiser than your head. But the very nature of your life often means you have to rely on conscious thought over gut feeling. Not so this week. Give your intuition free reign; even your pouting, ignored brain will be glad you did.

SIGNLANGUAGE

The instinct of the Ram says to charge straight ahead, and butt anything in your way, repeatedly, until it either yields or you collapse. But heeding that instinct could be fatal this week, so beware! Your best bet is playing (and fighting) smart: sidestepping blows, dancing around dramas, and cleverly waiting for the proper moment to make your move—which is more likely to be a sidle than a charge, in any case. Roll with punches, or, if you can, redirect them towards other folk who are also causing you trouble. If you can get those giving you hell to battle each other, you’ll be able to slip out the side door and stay clear of the mess. I think that’d be the best-case scenario at the moment, don’t you?

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Most of the archetypal stories found in mythology and fairy tales can be provably traced back to ancient India, circa 3000 B.C. Perhaps they’re even older than that. I’d wager that the tales (and jokes) we tell each other have been around since we’ve been telling stories—only the details have changed. Sound familiar? This week, you already know the story you’re living by heart; only the details are different. You know its beginning, middle and— most significantly—its end. Do you really need to hear (or experience) the whole thing again? I say skip to the end, so you can move on quickly to the next one, which you haven’t heard nearly as often.

HOLOHOLOGIRL

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

Boobs, not Bombs A few weeks ago, I got a frantic call from my ex. He was leading a troupe of our friends who were visiting from the mainland for a wedding later in the week but were currently terrorizing a bar in Kihei. And they weren’t so much “terrorizing” as they were just piss-drunk and couldn’t give a rat’s ass about anything but having a good ole time—ah, visitors! Basically, to the good people of the South Shore, they were a large group of meddlers intent on getting 86-ed from as many bars as possible. That’s how they roll on the mainland, you see. Naturally, I gathered from the anxious tone in his voice that he needed my help. He told me everyone was heading towards Hapa’s and he sounded afraid. Hey, it was gay night and he was from Sacramento. I decided to rush to his rescue. And so it was that when I arrived, the ex—who heretofore had been somewhat of a homophobe—found himself being merrily objectified and ass-pinched from bar to dance floor. In fact, he didn’t seem to mind so much after all. At one point, a couple of tall, attractive, hard-bodied men in leather stopped me, apparently wanting the 411 on my date. “Lemme guess,” said one, hip cocked to the side. “He’s straight?” “Afraid so,” I replied. “Mmph, that is too baaad, honey,” he said. I giggled an apology and scurried away to collect my boy, who was performing a complex break-dancing maneuver onstage in front of the big screen lava-lamp visuals alongside two male go-go dancers. Maybe a week after the visiting friends left, I went back to Hapa’s. This time, for DJ Mark Farina. The girls and I decided to dress it up in full costume gear, and I relished the opportunity to go incognito. While BJ looked like a Swedish disco renaissance hooker with her bustier and blonde Afro, Kim took on Parisian elegance with her dreads neatly wrapped under a lace scarf. I went for British spy-beatnik. But it was all in vain, for it was my corseted boobs that gave me away. Apparently, the wig and the hat and the shady smirk did nothing to hide the signature goods on display. I worked a lot this past weekend, kinda forgetting that most people would be celebrating the three-day extension with beach parties, drag racing and camping in Hana. So I don’t really have anything interesting to report on for Memorial Day weekend. Sorry. I did hang out at Jacque’s in Paia on Monday night—something I don’t normally do, as you know. Usually when I walk past the crowded bistro, I’m too intimidated to enter. It’s not like I’m scared off by the supermodel-like beauty of its patrons, their seemingly inherent preoccupation with windsurfing or that pesky language barrier—hey, I know the Language of Love, right? Right. But, well, yeah… just like with those years of Spanish I took in grade school, I understand more l’amour than I can speak. And my accent is atrocious. Anyway, the truth is that I never hang out at Jacque’s because I’m lazy. And I just want to ogle people with my booty firmly planted at the bar. Is that so wrong? And so this time I did find a seat at the bar, except there wasn’t anybody I could ogle because they were all eating dinner and that’s just disturbing to make eyes at someone while they’re slurping soup or stuffing crab cakes in their mouth. It’s okay, though, ‘cause the dynamically dreamy duo Dr. Nat and Dustin gave me sufficient pause to swoon with their seductively smooth, sultry music… Oh geez… see, I was there only one night and already I’m a cheeseball. But seriously, those guys were good. I was only momentarily stirred from my reverie when the Pakistani-born, English-bred man next to me said, “The thing about Americans is... even the dumbest people here are smarter than the dumbest people in Australia.” Samantha Campos will host a solo exhibit this summer in New York, featuring Barbie doll renditions of all her former roommates, pending litigation from Mattel.
