LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR HATES STAYING HOME

SPELL THIS!

I was very disappointed to see the feature in two issues of This Week’s Picks entitled “Tired of the Same Ole?” (Dec. 14 issue) and the follow up the next week entitled, “This Week in… Staying In!” (Dec. 21 issue) in which Heidi King, the Calendar Editor, basically said there is not much worth going out for in Maui! I find these apathetic pieces upsetting because here is someone who is supposed to be covering what artists are up to and help them promote themselves, and help audiences find them, which benefits both parties. No one needs to be told how to stay at home. Her tone was sarcastic and demeaning, and the articles should have been grounds for firing instead of being published. Just last night I was at the Mana`o Radio after-Christmas party where incredible talent gathered in their inhouse studio for multiple jam configurations. There is no shortage of talent on this island. Check out Mauibands.com to get the lowdown from a user-friendly website. I have paid for advertising in your paper over the last two years in the Entertainment section, trying to get our band gigs. I have hired a press agent to blast Maui and try to get someone interested enough in new blood, or blood traveling and coming back to Maui to perhaps shoot us a blurb, and help us out. It takes time, money, resources, practice, gas money, wear and tear on bodies and vehicles to put on live performances, and we do it ‘cause we love it. This is not just about me and my band, but all the aspiring artists island-wide who could use support from the “entertainment” section in our beloved, independently run paper. How do you justify the advertising monies you are receiving from several clubs when you snuff out their audiences by this type of apathy? It is just very disheartening when we don’t have the support of the press that everyone looks to for its GRID and PICKS, and you all instead support the ridiculous and offensive notion that nothing is happening worth leaving the comforts of home for. It’s more likely that laziness and apathy have replaced reporting and caring. Please think about your practices. I will revoke my advertising until changes are made. -Priscilla Sanders, via email

Whilst I applaud your efforts—or sometimes rather meager attempts, really—at producing an intelligent, informative and insightful newsweekly, I am appalled at your misspelling of a word on the cover of your Dec. 21 issue. The cover! How could such an immense typo, perhaps evidence of your disdain for the English language, have passed approval through not only you but your entire team of editorial minions? I find it shocking and, frankly, hope to never again have to see such glaring incompetence on the cover of your paper. -Anonymous, by email The Editor responds: Oh God, please don’t let it be the word “accolades.” If there’s ever been one word I had trouble with, it is “accolades.” Let me just go find a copy of the issue and… OH MY GOD, IT IS “ACCOLADES!” I knew it! And yeah, that’s horrible and inexcusable, though in my defense, it is somewhat less egregious than that time we accidentally ran yearold Da Kine calendar listings.

IT WAS CHRISTMAS? I received a terrifying postcard of the Maui Time Weekly staff in what appears to be a police lineup of all things. Now that “truthiness” is an official word I now know why your newspaper strikes fear into the general population. Truth and independence in the news is a rare thing these days of corporate newspaper takeovers. Please keep up the hard work of publishing the truth and I’m sorry you all appear to have been “booked” for reporting said truth. Aloha, thank you and Merry Christmas. -Lance Holter, Paia

Establishing a hard and fast connection between money donated to a candidate’s campaign and services rendered after the campaign is over is never straightforward. A good example of this involves Sherilyn A. Morrison. Throughout 2006, Morrison was a pretty solid contributor to Charmaine Tavares’ bid to unseat Mayor Alan Arakawa. In fact, her $250 donation above ultimately brought her contribution total to a rather substantial $1,175. And why not? At the time, Morrison was Tavares’ executive assistant and policy analyst. At the very least, it was in her immediate interests to make sure her boss keeps some kind of post at the county. A Maui County legislative aide since the Linda Lingle Administration, Morrison also worked for a while as Arakawa’s Budget Director. “Sheri has held a number of high-level positions in Maui County government,” Tavares said of Morrison in a Dec. 27, 2006 press release. “Her commitment and capabilities have been demonstrated in both the legislative and executive branches of government of our county government.” Even if Morrison hadn’t given Tavares a dime during the campaign, it was logical for her to expect a role in the eventual Tavares Administration. But she ended up giving Tavares a lot more than a dime. And, incidentally, Tavares ultimately named Morrison to the very important post of Managing Director—the most powerful post in the mayor’s office outside of Tavares’ office.

Pipe Dream

PHOTO: PIETRO ORTIZ

The fight over the Hamakuapoko Wells turns ugly

Anyone driving on Baldwin right above Paia can’t miss them: giant 36inch diameter pipes lined along the roadside. The pipes are part of a county construction job dating back several months. Where they are going, and whether they will ultimately connect with the disputed Hamakuapoko Wells, isn’t something the workers want to talk about. “We’re building it in that direction,” said one worker who asked for anonymity, “but we won’t connect it until the county agrees.” Local activists aren’t waiting to find out what that means. On Dec. 22, an attorney representing The Coalition to Protect East Maui Water Resources, Hui Alanui o Makena and resident Mark Sheehan filed a motion against the County of Maui aimed at stopping the construction. “We just want the county to stand by the agreement they made with us, with Maui Tomorrow, in 2003,” Sheehan said. That earlier lawsuit against the county resulted in a settlement and new requirements for the county’s water development in East Maui. That lawsuit, brought by the same group of people as well the Sierra Club’s Hawai`i chapter, scrapped everything beyond Phase One of the East Maui Water Development Plan. As a result, county workers had to put in Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filters at the well sites. These were to treat for DBCP, EDB, and TCP—pesticides used extensively on the nearby pineapple fields. While the treatment would lower the levels of the contaminants to “non detectable” (scientific measurements of this sort do not allow a measurement of “zero”) levels, many residents and County Council members questioned the reliability of the system. “They can say that it’s safe, but who knows what they aren’t testing for?” said Ron Sturtz, the president of the Maui Tomorrow Foundation. In addition, the Department of Water Supply’s webpage on Hamakuapoko says GAC filters don’t do anything about elevated nitrate levels. The settlement also meant that if the county wanted to work on anything besides the Hamakuapoko Wells and pipelines related to it, it would need to treat it as an entirely new project. That meant, among other things, filing a new Environmental Impact Statement

JANUARY 4, 2007

LC Watch Two Bars, One Charge Two establishments that couldn’t be more different: the elegant, pricey Longhi’s in Lahaina and the dimly lit dive Life’s a Beach in Kihei. Rarely appearing in the same sentence, cases against the two make up the totality of the Jan. 4, 2007 Liquor Control Board of Adjudication agenda. In both cases, the charge is the same—allowing the consumption of liquor by someone already under the influence. Though Longhi’s is doing what most establishments do—pleading no contest—Life’s a Beach is fighting the charge.

The pipe in question (EIS) as well as a Cost Benefit Analysis. Fast-forward three years to Sept. 1, 2006. That’s when the Maui County Council passed the first reading of an ordinance ordering the Department Of Water Supply not to use Hamakuapoko well water for human consumption. Four days later—in a move that outraged many—Department of Water Supply director George Tengan ordered a second round of pipeline construction. Originally, the 36” pipe gracing Baldwin just above Paia was intended to handle an 11 million gallon per day (mgd) load. After the 2003 settlement, new rules specified that the pipe would only transmit two mgd. At the Sept. 13 Water Resources hearing, local activist and Hamakuapoko Well opponent Robert Karpovich testified that the lowered amount of water would have made it impossible for the pipe to flush properly, resulting in a buildup of bacteria. To date, the construction of the pipes has cost about $5 million. On Oct. 2, the Council unanimously passed the ordinance banning use of the wells for human consumption. Pipeline construction, which had been going on since May 8, was to stop. But it didn’t. “Well, the county started it,” Tengan said when asked about the continued construction, “and we need to finish it.” As for possible plans to bring Hamakuapoko back on line: “Well, I can’t speak for the next administration,” he said. Tengan’s words at the Sept. 13 Water Resources committee meeting were stronger. “[A]t some point in time, the county is going to have to go back east, back east again, to develop water if the

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

county desires to develop central Maui anymore,” he said, according to the minutes. “Since the state is already paying for the installation of the pipeline now, we are taking advantage of that.” That’s at odds with the 2003 lawsuit and compromise. It specifically states that “the use of the 36” transmission line is not to be considered as a commitment to develop or transmit water resources more than can be produced by the two Hamakuapoko wells. Any other use of this Hamakuapoko to Paia transmission shall require a new EIS.” A new EIS has yet to materialize. Hence the recent action. The motion states that “even though the county law forbids the use of water from Hamakuapoko wells one and two for human consumption, the county defendants are continuing with their project to install the 36” transmission line, over the objections of the plaintiff, and without first having prepared a new EA [environmental assessment].” The filing asks the court to stop the construction on the pipelines immediately. The office of the Corporation Counsel did not return repeated calls for comment on the recent motion. A court date has been set for Jan. 10, to be heard before Judge Joseph Cardoza at 8:30 a.m. MTW

The wording of the complaints against the establishments are all but identical, including even the vaguely outlined times of the alleged overservice. “On August 25, 2006 and August 26, 2006 between the approximate times of 11:25 p.m. and 12:02 a.m…” reads the complaint against Longhi’s. The charge against Life’s a Beach is even wider, alleging that overservice took place between the “approximate times of 6:30 p.m. and 10:15 p.m.” For overservice to stick, the time given by LC investigators should be a bit more specific. But the LC’s overservice cases are typically much lazier, relying on circumstantial evidence and implication: a person says he was sober when he walked in, and he was clearly drunk when he was arrested 20 minutes after he left, so he must have been drunk when they served him, right? In 2006, 10 cases of alleged overservice went before the board. Of those, the board found nine defendants guilty (the vast majority had pleaded no contest, which brings an automatic guilty verdict). The remaining licensee— Ali`i Nui Charters—was found not guilty, most likely because the prosecution had failed to show that a customer had been drunk at the time of last service.

DOWLING IS PBN’S DARLING Got an email this week from former Akaku president Sean McLaughlin, livid at his recent discovery that in mid-November Pacific Business News gave uber-developer Everett Dowling its “2006 Community Spirit Award” for “leading the way in developing ‘green’ buildings for the Valley Isle that use less energy and resources while minimizing their impact on the environment.” McLaughlin’s still steamed at Dowling for his lobbying last year to cut the state funding the Akaku public access cable channel receives (the Akaku board is still in chaos, with its most recent CEO resigning after just a few weeks in office). But Dowling’s trumpeting of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)’s green construction techniques and standards is a good thing. New homes and buildings should use captured rainwater; roofs should hold photovoltaic cells; big windows should maximize sunlight to reduce power consumption. And Dowling isn’t shy about publicizing the fact that the USGBC’s Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design (LEED) program—a voluntary list of dos and don’ts in building construction—has certified a quarter of his new buildings. This is good, though I suppose questioning whether the fact that 75 percent of his developments don’t qualify under LEED actually makes him award-worthy is a matter of opinion. Or the fact that LEED’s very first measure on its most recent home building checklist is “Avoid Environmentally Sensitive Sites and Farmland”—a directive Dowling boldly ignored when he pushed through his big project to build 70-plus ultra-expensive condos right on the Makena coastline.

PHONE COMPANY RISES! After many, many weeks at the bottom of the Maui 10 ladder, Hawaiian Telcom finally climbs a couple notches this week. Not for anything the troubled phone company did, though—it rises on news that its corporate owner, the hideously rich and powerful private equity fund Carlyle Group, has helped create the Private Equity Council. This new group will, according to the Dec. 27 Pacific Business News, “launch outreach efforts in research, public affairs and government relations to increase public awareness of private equity.” Put simply, it’s the lobbying arm of the richest and most powerful fund managers in the world, who apparently aren’t yet rich or powerful enough.

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

BY ANTHONY PIGNATARO ANTHONY@MAUITIME.COM

farming had taken place on the land in the last decade. “I’m always curious as to how there are slip-throughs,” Young told me when I called him August. “It’s a prominent location. Our last records show it was in ag production. I spoke to our appraiser last week on this. We don’t see any active ag [there]. We don’t know how long it’s not been in ag.” Young further blamed his department’s appraisal troubles on an unfilled staff position, though it’s hard to see how the addition of one appraiser could get the entire Finance Department back to carrying out regular and proper appraisals. Foolish me thought there was no way Tavares would reappoint Young when she took over—shows what I know about local politics.

centage points! What’s more, the percentage of Japanese tourists who think Hawai`i has gotten “too commercialized or overdeveloped” as skyrocketed, from five percent last year to a whopping 16 percent this year. Not all was bad news, though: “Among U.S. visitors, visitors to Maui and Kauai were more likely to say they had an excellent experience than visitors to Oahu or the Big Island,” states the report. But even this news was tempered with grumbling—“The number of Japanese visitors who were very satisfied with Maui has declined from 62.2 percent in the first half of 2005 to 49.8 percent in the first half of 2006.” Aren’t you glad there’s a state agency dedicated to studying this stuff? I’d hate to think the tourist industry would have to pay for research like this out of its own pockets.

THURSDAY, Dec. 28

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 27 In the flurry of press releases I’ve gotten yesterday and today from the Tavares Transition Office was this gem: “Mayor-Elect Charmaine Tavares Reappoints Director of Finance Department.” This may sound insufferably dull to you, but to me it’s an uncut diamond just sitting on the ground waiting to be scooped up. “Kalbert Young has made many improvements to the Finance Department over the past two years,” Tavares said in the release. “I’m looking forward to his continuing that effort.” This surprised me, since back in late April Young admitted to the Maui County Council Budget Committee— which included Tavares—that private citizen Robert Karpovich had successfully found four separate pieces of property that, by the county’s own assessment laws, were severely undertaxed. One piece of property was a 40-acre parcel recently sold by the Maui Land & Pineapple Co. that had long carried an agriculture designation even though no

George Tengan’s out as county Water Supply director? Funny, that doesn’t surprise me, considering all the turmoil and controversy and heartache that faced the department these last few years. Though Tavares didn’t pull any punches in her announcement today, saying that Jeffrey Eng, Tengan’s replacement, “will bring needed leadership and experience to the department.” Ouch.

FRIDAY, Dec. 29 Horrible news for everyone who lives and dies by the attitudes of tourists. A new report on “Visitor Satisfaction” during the first half of 2006 put out by the state Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) says tourists aren’t nearly as excited about coming to Hawai`i as they were last year. According to the report, just 63.6 percent of visitors from the mainland rated their trip as “excellent” in the first half of 2006, compared to 66.8 percent during the first half of 2005. That’s more than three per-

MONDAY, Jan. 1 Don’t know if you guys heard last night through all the drunken cheering and carrying on and the setting off of numerous fireworks and small explosives, but it’s the New Year. For us journalists, it’s a sweet time indeed.

attractive. There won’t be another election for two years, so there’s no need for any posturing right now. And both sides are strongly entrenched in their respective branches of government. Voters overwhelmingly returned Republican Linda Lingle to the governor’s office, as well as defeated every single Republican running for a state legislative seat. In fact, of the 75 state Legislators (25 in the Senate, 51 in the House), a grand total of 13 today are Republican. To call state Republicans a “minority” is to overstate their importance—they’re more like an endangered species. So on paper, we have every reason to believe the two sides will negotiate in good faith over homelessness, gasoline taxes and how to satisfy those all important Japanese tourists. Or they could just turn their backs on each other and do absolutely nothing. Such is the nature of predictions—especially concerning Japanese tourists.

hy are Native Hawaiians overrepresented in prison? It’s a simple question, but it doesn’t have a simple answer. Ask the experts and you’ll get answers ranging from “oppression” to “poverty” to “lack of motivation.” There are colonization theories and there are cultural theories. At this point, Native Hawaiians own most of the top misery indices in Hawaiì. These include high percentage in prison, high infant mortality, high rates of illness, low educational attainment, low income-level, high unemployment and high rates of drug addiction and alcoholism. They’re not even adequately represented in competitive surfing—a sport Native Hawaiians invented: “When 29-year-old Maikalani Kaiolohia Robb (a.k.a. Kalani Robb) and 36-year-old Vincent Sennen Garcia (a.k.a. Sunny Garcia) retired from the World Championship Tour last year, they became the last Native Hawaiians to compete on the coveted World Championship Tour,” reported a recent issue of Free Surf Magazine. The facts are devastating. The last U.S. Census reports that in 2001 Native Hawaiians made up just 12 percent of the state population but represented 39 percent of our housed prisoners. By contrast, while 17 percent of Hawaiì is Japanese, they represent four percent of the prison population. Today there are now over 1,800 Hawaiian prisoners in mainland prisons. There are various theories as to why this is the case. “The overrepresentation of kanaka maoli in Hawaiì’s criminal justice system is analogous in many ways to the overrepresentation of minorities (especially African Americans) in correctional populations nationally,” says Dr. Marilyn Brown, an assistant professor at University of Hawaiì. “The origins of this situation are the same: racism, poverty, alienation, lack of education, and (in the case of Native Hawaiians) the effects of colonization.” Brown says disparities in terms of health, education and income shape who appears in the system—which, she says, has become

our primary “human service delivery system” for troubled people. “Disproportionate representation in the criminal justice system is just part of the syndrome,” she says. RaeDeen M. Keahiolalo Karasuda, a doctoral candidate working on these questions with the University of Hawai`i, emphasizes that the roots are vast and deep, but says locking Hawaiians up is a colonization mechanism. She says Hawaiians are a very resilient culture and have been practicing civil disobedience for over a hundred years now. Her estimate, derived from many prison visits and research work, is that Hawai`i prisons’ realistic Native Hawaiian population today is actually closer to 70 percent. Alternatively, one source close to the issue believes the problem lies in a basic lack of motivation. “I hear people crying, ‘They stole our land,’” he says. “That’s a cop out. I just say, ‘Stop drowning your sorrows in Budweiser, get off your butt and get a job like the rest of us.’” He does admit that another factor might be Maui’s high cost of living, which can cause parents to have to work all the time to survive. “Then the kids run wild and no one gives a rip what they’re doing,” he says.

ronically, Native Hawaiians living on the mainland actually do better in terms of education than those living here. They make more money, hold higher-level jobs and have fewer people living in each household. A possible explanation for this difference could be the fact that there are more working-age Native Hawaiians—20-44 year olds—who live on the Mainland than in the islands. Other ethnic groups living in Hawai`i may have their own issues, but none seem to be having as much trouble as kanaka maoli. Some say that one reason is that other groups, like Filipinos or Portuguese could always go back to their “homeland.” That non-indigenous groups have an “out” while native people can end up feeling trapped or hopeless with nowhere else to go if their life

isn’t proceeding the way they feel it should. Another factor might be that American and Hawaiian culture just aren’t the same. Or even mix. “Today Hawaiians are limited as to how they live,” says Carrie Ann Shirota, director of Maui’s BEST (Being Empowered and Safe Together) prisoner training and reintegration program. “Take the tradition of fishing and growing kalo (taro). If Native Hawaiians can’t fish anymore because of access issues, or issues of over-fishing, their lifestyle is changed. They are unable to do what was once considered normal. With that can come a feeling of displacement or lack of purpose—often leading to drug use. U.S. culture is based on individual rights, while Hawaiian culture is based on what’s good for the collective whole—the common good for the family or the soul.” While a culture clash rages in some areas, officials from Maui County Correctional Center (MCCC) say most Native Hawaiian prisoners there don’t speak Hawaiian, practice any Hawaiian religion, only have a very small percentage of Hawaiian blood and are actually more “American” than anything else. Nonetheless, racism against Hawaiians seems to be occurring within the criminal justice system. Dr. John McDonald of the University of South Carolina did a recent study of Hawai`i’s juvenile system. He concluded that Hawaiian and Samoan youth are “significantly” more likely than white or East Asian youth to receive severe court sentences. Wherever the experts’ research or experience places them on the spectrum of ideas, most agree that something must be done. That so many Native Hawaiians are in prison is profoundly affecting the rest of the community. Children of prisoners suffer. In fact, they’re six times more likely to go to jail themselves, according to a recent Urban Institute study. Many of these children end up in the foster care system and eventually adopted out to mainland parents while their mothers serve their prison sentences. The federal Adoption

and Safe Families Act declares that children must be permanently placed in a stable living situation within 15 to 22 months of parental incarceration. Since the average Native Hawaiian woman’s sentence is two years and two months, kanaka maoli children are often put up for permanent adoption. Usually they go to mainland parents, according to A Women’s Voice International, a woman’s advocate group. Gang activity is also increasing. Hawai`i sends more of its prisoner to other states to serve their time than any other state. Alan Nouchi, MCCC’s acting warden, says he sees Native Hawaiian prisoners “come back [from the mainland] as if they’d gone to gang training camp.” More sophisticated gang behavior, Nouchi says, can be seen in more “advanced” drug dealing and violence. Then there’s the cost to taxpayers. Incarceration is expensive, costing $20,000 per year to incarcerate a single drug offender. But it costs just $3,500 per year to go through the Drug Court Program, says Barbara Ann Keller, the program’s administrator. The irony there is a growing body of evidence that alternative programs are much more effective than straight incarceration.

ith so many different theories on causes of the problems, some solutions are in direct opposition to others. For example, some say Native Hawaiians are breaking the laws in unprecedented numbers, and mandatory sentences will be an effective deterrent. For example, the Three-Strikes-You’re-Out law establishes mandatory sentences of 30 years to life for habitual violent felons— those convicted of three separate violent felonies such as murder, rape, kidnapping, robbery and home burglary. But Brown disagrees with the ThreeStrikes law. “The ‘get tough on crime’ point of view argues in favor of deterrence and incapacitation for law breakers,” she wrote in a 2005 letter to the Honolulu Advertiser. “And for some serious offenders, long prison sentences may provide a deterrent. However, experts feel that this is a small group indeed.” Additionally, most national studies show that if you get to prison, you’re likely to return. “Eight out of 10 of Hawai`i’s drug addicts do not receive drug treatment services while incarcerated,” Karasuda wrote in another letter to the Advertiser. “The majority return to society without rehabilitation, and two-thirds return to prison within a few years.” Maui has an array of social services for kanaka maoli. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Maui Economic Opportunity and state public schools all offer such programs as drug education and micro-loan

programs to start a small business. But Brown says they aren’t enough and that the majority of Native Hawaiians are receiving social services that start only when they get arrested. That said, once in “the system” some of those programs are proving to be effective, if only on a small scale. For instance, Maui’s Drug Court provides treatment, supervision and support for Native Hawaiians and others with drug charges and is showing signs of success. If participants complete their program, charges are dropped. The recidivism rates are considerably lower for drug court graduates than for those who don’t utilize the program. Then there’s the BEST program, which began in 2003 in Wailuku through a federal grant for $2.1 million to address serious and violent offenders. BEST provides pre- and post-release services designed to address recidivism by targeting substance abuse, mental illness, underemployment, lack of training, housing and additional needs related to reintegration. Initial studies show the program may be working to cut recidivism significantly. “Some people say we’re being soft on crime,” Shirota says. “I say we’re being smart on crime. The system is a free ride. It isn’t ‘hard-time’ like they say. Hard-time is completing the programs and doing the work to get out and stay out of the system.” Recently BEST received a grant from the Eisenhower Foundation and will open a “BEST House” on Vineyard Street in Wailuku. The program will be similar to the Delancey Street Program in San Francisco, where former inmates and homeless operate the house, study for a GED and learn the skills necessary to help them successfully integrate back into society. Shirota says Delancey Street boasts a 90 percent success rate. Karasuda says that much more can be done, but that there have already been many positive developments. One is a “Hawaiian cultural renewal” that gives Native Hawaiians a sense of place and pride. Shirota concurs, adding that the “BEST cultural programs have deeply resonated with Native Hawaiian clients,” who make up 60 percent of their client population. Of course, the state Attorney General’s office disagrees, saying that cultural programs haven’t been shown to cut recidivism rates at all. In fact, they say these programs could “embolden” prisoners. For that reason, they’re moving more towards “Evidence Based Training”—programs with proven, measured results. Still, some hope for a new correctional system master plan. Others want better funding for social programs. Many think that better education and more affordable housing will help. In the meantime, more Native Hawaiians end up behind bars. MTW

Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich

Henry’s Bar & Grill The best cheesesteak in all the land On Sunday, Krista and I were intent on pursuing creative activities that didn’t involve alcohol. So we grabbed beach towels, reading material, sweaters (in case we found ourselves atop a volcano) and headed to a coffee shop we’d never been to before.

Henry’s Bar & Grill 41 E. Lipoa St., Kihei, 879-2849. $

Unfortunately, as soon as we found a comfy place to sip our coffees and read, workers began putting the chairs up on tables. “Oh, you can stay, if you like,” an employee told us as he locked the front door, sending the kind of mixed messages that prompted Krista to recall past relationships and conversations with dysfunctional ex-boyfriends. Subsequently, we drove straight to Henry’s to calm our nerves with Bloody Marys. But as soon as we passed the row of shiny motorcycles and walked in, it was as if the record skipped, as conversation stopped and faces stared blankly at us from the bar. We could almost see tumbleweeds roll across the floor, and the foreboding theme song to some western movie played in our heads… Friendly commotion resumed when we found customized stools with witty sayings to sit on—“I’d do Henry” for her; “I won’t do Henry” for me—in front of a brass spittoon and a wall of bumper stickers:

“Men are Not Pigs: Pigs are Gentle, Intelligent and Sensitive Animals” “A Shlong is Better Than a Shlort” “Don’t Worry What People Think—They Don’t Do It Very Often” I pointed out the most fabulous features of Henry’s to Krista: the pool tables, dartboards, video golf, stage, dance floor, and the many bandana-andboot-wearing, leather-vested regulars. “It would be a fucking biker bar that we’d feel comfortable in,” said Krista. “We tried to be intellectual, we tried to be good…” “Eh, it’s overrated,” I said. I told her a friend of mine recommended the cheesesteak sandwiches. We glanced around and noticed several patrons in the process of grubbing them. Skeptical but curious, we promptly ordered one to share. Food? At Henry’s? We didn’t know either. Their menu board, while limited in scope, also featured other comfort foods like spaghetti and meatballs ($6), an opakapaka sandwich ($7.50), and a patti melt on rye ($6.50), all quite reasonably priced. But none held the allure for us quite like their chicken cheesesteak sandwich—$5.25 for a half, $8.25 for a whole—with potato chips or mac salad. The cheesesteak is a culinary concept born in 1930 in Philadelphia, consisting principally of thin slices of sautéed meat—generally steak or chicken—mixed with the gooiest of melted cheese and usually grilled onions—sometimes mushrooms, too—on a soft, white six-inch roll of Italian bread. Henry’s chicken cheesesteak takes these basic concepts and elevates them into a sandwich of impossible goodness. A mass of tender bits of white meat combined with melted cheese and onions is stuffed into a soft, toasted bun that somehow tastes like puffed pastry dough. According to a few of Henry’s many regulars, the secret to this culinary masterpiece is “Eddie”—the head and only kitchen chef for the past three years. Eddie Callahan used to work in computers before he decided to make a career shift and attend the culinary institute at Maui Community College. “I learned a few things and do the stuff that’s right for here,” he said. When we proclaimed our immense satisfaction with his chicken cheesesteak, Callahan smiled broadly. “What probably makes me happier than anything is that people enjoy it,” he said. “I’m tinkering with a low-fat version, too.” MTW

Dread Superhero Thursday (Jan. 4), 10 p.m. at Charley’s; Saturday (Jan. 6), 10 p.m. at Hapa’s [REGGAE LEGEND] If you love reggae, it’s partially his fault. Mikey Dread has had his hands in nearly every multi-genre facet of the music industry and media. He’s been at it for over 30 years, and even co-produced, co-wrote and performed on The Clash’s Sandinista, 1981’s Best Rock Record. He’s since been producing, performing, presenting, and recording non-stop. He’s also won some awards, done voiceovers, news photography, video edited, radio DJ-ed, hosted a few TV and awards shows, and worked on Izzy Stradlin’s single, “Can’t Hear ‘Em,” then went to art school and graduated in ’96 with honors in music and video production. Well of course he did! Then came more of the same, including another honorable degree in International Communications four years later. More headline tours, a couple of BBC documentaries and a single with Seal on the 50 First Dates soundtrack. Wow, is there anything this man can’t do? Opening band: Dub Rockers. Tickets: $20 at door only. For more info, call 264-8689 or visit www.MikeyDread.com. [SAMANTHA CAMPOS]

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS by Samantha Campos

A Night in Paris Thursday (Jan. 4), 10 p.m. at Casanova [ART/CROONING] Tony Pacino is an Italian-born singer living in Paris, who has been crooning the likes of Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and Tom Jones in Italian, French and English. He’s recorded a few albums in Europe, as well as the a remake of “Come Prima”—a classic Italian song Pacino disco-fied and made a hit. He’s performed at the Palais des Congres des Paris, and just spent last month performing at the Parisian cabaret Paradis Latin. But now Pacino is happy to be here, visiting family on the North Shore. “Since I was a little child I have been so very in love with America,” he said. “This is the first time I’ve come to see my son and daughter-in-law. It is very, very great here—the paradise of windsurfing.” Local artist and international charmer Piero Resta is hosting this event, which also features Danielle Delaunay from London. And Resta, too, will be showcasing selected works from his “Usque Dum Vivam Et Ultra” 2006 collection.

Saturday (Jan. 6), Maui Ocean Center [FAMILY/MARINE ED.] Oh, to be a kid again! Wouldn’t it be nice? I know, I know—there would be things I’d miss: my independence, the wisdom of experience, and my legal right to self-induce cancer with cigarettes. But youth is an innocent time spent living in the moment and pursuing only that which gives one pleasure. It is the passport to an unself-conscious existence, a permission slip to be honest at all costs, and a time to dream unlimited. And one other thing—being young would allow me the opportunity to attend the Maui Ocean Center’s “Sleeping with the Sharks” sleepover party this weekend. Perhaps the coolest event ever conceptualized by humankind, the sleepover is open to children between grades 3 and 8. For $55 (members receive an additional 15% off), kids will have the privilege to experience a sure-to-be unforgettable social, educational, and entertaining evening. Included in the admission will be a pizza party, snacks and a pancake breakfast; as well as a scavenger hunt, ocean-related movies, games, crafts, and more. Attendees will get the chance to feed hammerhead sharks and sea turtles; and be educated about the enchanting creatures of the sea. Then they’ll be given a souvenir cup and fossil shark tooth and sent back into the world with a smile and memories they’ll likely to never forget. Space is limited and complete information can be obtained by calling the Maui Ocean Center, (808) 270-7085. If the line’s busy, keep trying— I may be on the other end offering $55 a day to move into the Ocean Center permanently. [COREY NIELSEN]

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Raitt in Time Sunday (Jan. 7), 7 p.m., A & B Amphitheater, MACC [BLUES/ROCK] The queen of slide guitar, Bonnie Raitt, has been perfecting her craft since she was a teenager. But she only started to take it seriously during college. Before graduating she met Dick Waterman, a prominent blues promoter at that time. Then she planed to take just a semester off so that she could go to Philadelphia where Waterman and other musicians had relocated. But she never made it back to college and thus her music career was born. Scouts for major record labels started showing interest in her music and she eventually released her self-titled album in 1971 with Warner Bros. It wasn’t until 1989 that she achieved monumental commercial success; she won three Grammy awards that year with the album Nick of Time. In 2000, Raitt was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fans of Raitt are glad she never finished her degree in African Studies, where she would’ve ended up in Tanzania. Tickets: $35, $45, $55. Call 242-7469 or visit www.mauiarts.org. [KEITH BENEDICT]

DAY

Wolverine and the Queen Wednesday (Jan. 10), 7:30 p.m., Castle Theater, MACC [FILM] Darren Aronofsky writes and directs this visual stunner. Fans of Anronfsky have been patiently waiting for a new film since the release of Requiem for a Dream, which was in 2000. The Fountain is a story of timeless love, spirituality and the quest for eternal life. I found the story to be the weak link of this film, not easily followed and a bit vague at times. But Aronofsky did take a bold leap where other directors fear to tread, as the plot transverses three different time periods a thousand years apart. The special effects are amazing, as are each of the sets. Rachel Weisz is convincing in her roles, especially as the 16th century queen. Hugh Jackman does such a good job, too—I completely forgot he was the Wolverine. Tickets: $10. For info visit www.mauifilmfest.com. [KB]

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY COLE@MAUITIME.COM

Future Shock Today’s political climate in a crystal ball Cinema history has been made in 2006 by a trinity of Spanish directors whose films consort to press at the boundaries of social satire with a freewheeling sense of authenticity. Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men, Alejandro Gonzalez’ Babel and Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth have each created highly original and stimulating films that stand as an antithesis to the governmentapproved sentimental message pap of directors like Paul Greengrass (United 93) or Oliver Stone (World Trade Center).

Children of Men

★★★★★ Rated R/114 mins.

With Children of Men Alfonso Cuarón (Y Tu Mamá También) launches a vehement social diatribe that is part thriller and part social satire based on a novel by British mystery author P.D. James. The hyperreality he creates tears at the edges of British and American military hegemony with a defiantly cold and ironic stare that mocks those governments’ crimes against humanity and the resulting efforts to topple them. In 2027, England is a fascist state

JANUARY 4, 2007

obsessed with putting immigrants in outdoor cages and defending against terrorism after the rest of the world “collapsed.” Global infertility has whittled away at the population since 2009 when the last human child was born, and England has become a fenced-off Orwellian monstrosity filled with surveillance cameras and a constant barrage of unrestricted media brainwashing. Theo Faron (Clive Owen) is a former radical turned disaffected bureaucrat who seizes an opportunity to take the day off work when the murder of the world’s youngest person, an 18-year-old boy, sends the public into a frenzy of mourning. Cuarón colors the harsh futuristic reality with a dry gallows humor found in Luis Bunuel’s films, and he shares Bunuel’s sense of social anarchy and disconnection. After escaping the menacing city on a subway train shielded from rabid refugees, Theo meets his best friend Jasper Palmer (Michael Caine), a retired political cartoonist living a hidden existence with his catatonic wife in a forest where he grows several strains of mind-bending pot. Jasper’s cozy New Age-styled home with its many windows, books and rough-hewn wood environment contributes stark contrast to the film’s other locations that pulse with sterility and violence. With his long flowing white hair and equally pale beard, Michael Caine’s benevolent patriarch anchors the intelligent humanitarian theme of the story, and the venerable actor takes distinct joy in playing such an irreverent and affectionate part.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Best restroom ever

It’s not until Theo returns to London and is kidnapped by the “Fish,” a resistance group fighting for immigrant rights, that the movie starts to detonate cinematic conventions. The Fish leader, Julian Taylor (Julianne Moore), is Theo’s exlover from his revolutionary student days, and she imposes on him to help acquire transit papers for a Fijian girl named Kee (well played by Claire-Hope Ashitey) to escape from Britain. After obtaining joint papers that commit Theo to shepherd Kee to safety, Theo discovers that Kee is eight months pregnant and holds inside her belly a singular hope for humanity. Theo steps into a role

of unarmed rescuer as he escorts Kee through a maze of chase sequences that necessarily penetrate a “Homeland Security” refugee camp patterned after Abu Ghraib. Cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki and production designers Geoffrey Kirkland and Jim Clay create a frigid social landscape that is a logical extension of the fear obsessed society that the Bush administration has instilled in America and in the UK. Children of Men is an anecdotal vision of the way the future seems to be headed from a 2006 vantage point. There is only a tiny glimmer of hope, and it does not extend to the masses. MTW

ART&ENTERTAINMENT

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS SAM@MAUITIME.COM

Whirlwind of Evolution Looking ahead, and behind, with indie troubadour Matt Costa Though he’s shared the bill with Jack Johnson, Matt Costa is not your run-of-the-mill, easy-going, cute boy singer-songwriter. First of all, he’s an ex-pro skateboarder, and his sound is reminiscent of 1960’s folk—Donovan definitely comes to mind—with an indie rock edge and pop eclecticism that’s harder to pin down than Oahu’s notorious surfer/guitar slinger /Curious George soundtracker.

Matt Costa Wednesday (Jan. 10), 9 p.m. at Paradice Bluz. Opening acts: Micah Wolf and Anuhea. Tickets: $15 pre-sale, $20 at door—available at Paradice Bluz and Livewire Café.

But Costa’s developing a Johnsonesque following of his own. Last year he released his album Songs We Sing and promptly toured his ass off. In fact, he’s on tour right now in Australia. I spoke to him by phone, between gigs. MAUI TIME WEEKLY: Did you make any New Year’s resolutions this year? MATT COSTA: Um… I did not. I made a New Year’s resolution to not make any resolutions this year. Wise. I’ve heard that a lot this year. What was 2006 like for you, professionally and personally? It was a whirlwind for both. It was one long road trip. We went to Europe three times and more

countries than I’d ever been able to name before. We went all over the world so also creatively I was around a lot more musicians, artists—songwriters—than I’d ever been in my entire life. Seeing how collectively they create their sound gave me new perspective on how to elevate what we do with my band. What was the best thing that happened last year? That’s too hard to pin down. Just thinking about the whole year… I guess the single best thing that happened was releasing my record through Brushfire Records, since it was the catalyst for all the touring, you know, the reason for why we got to go everywhere. What was the worst thing? The last day of the year ‘cause now we have to start all over again! I don’t know if I can compete with last year. We’re gonna do Australia, then we tour with G. Love in the U.S. until February. I’ve written a lot for the new record, at least half of it. So I guess now there’s more pressure, not that there’s really any pressure. But there is the follow-up, like “how can you top that?”

What do you want to see happen in 2007? World peace, life on Mars… 2007 is so futuristic sounding, isn’t it? Uh… I’ll be releasing the new record. Basically I’ve always looked at it as a natural evolution, never really jumping too far ahead so I would say, the one thing I wanna get from this year is to stay consistent with being an artist always in a constant state of evolving. I’d like to take all of experience in 2006 and, you know, evolve in 2007. Like I said before, just being around all those people was such a huge inspiration at all sorts of different levels. I don’t know, I feel like it’s hard taking a whole year... all my goals are always thinking of… when I’m old I just wanna be able to sit on my porch and be able to tell a bunch of good stories and play some songs. As long as I reach there, then that’s my ultimate goal. For more info, visit www.mattcosta.com or www.myspace.com/mattcostamusic.com.

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) There’s nothing wrong with finding someone or something you like and sticking to it—as long as it works out. But what happens when whatever you’ve become attached or accustomed to simply isn’t available? Usually, you just hunker down and wait out the drought. May I suggest a better strategy? Seek out new potential habits. Usually, you’d have to sacrifice a known pleasure just to make space to experiment. This week, though, it’s risk-free, since you’re already missing out on your favorite routines; you might as well spend that time developing new and better ones.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Things simply can’t always be good. You think you want everything to run smoothly and for everyone to be happy. But remember the times when that seemed to be the case in the past? You still found reasons to be dissatisfied. You need variety, and that means shittier times to contrast with the better ones. This week is liable to be at least slighter crappier than you’d supposedly like, but just remember: it’s not here to make you feel bad, but rather good—about all the many weeks that are better.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

WINTER STARTS HERE! MAUI ARTS & CULTURAL CENTER

SIGNLANGUAGE

Screw your self-destructive urges. Whenever you feel down, you’re inclined towards crap that’ll just make life worse. “Why the hell not?” you figure, and it’s all on: smoking, heroin, living in squalor, unsafe sex, or unhealthy overindulgence in chocolate cake. I get it, but I heartily disagree. Since your life’s already shit, why not do all the crap you ought to do, but just don’t want to? Deep clean your apartment. Go the gym. Eat healthfully. Give it a try. I suspect you’ll drag your ass getting into it, but be skipping and smiling coming out.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) It’s frightening to consider the future we’re setting ourselves up for, and to imagine how today’s problems will only multiply and compound themselves as time goes on. Your difficulties are something like those facing humanity and our society: they’re actually easier to solve today than they ever will be again. Not that they’re easy now, but ignoring them won’t erase them. The longer you wait, the more complex and difficult to fix they’ll become.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) To a young child, magic appears possible simply because they’re not quite sure how reality works. A friend of mine imagined that he could somehow grow up to be Wonder Woman. That seemed perfectly viable to him. Gradually, as we grow up, adults teach us the concept of impossibility, roping off what’s available to us, bit by bit. Eventually we call this limited perspective “being realistic.” That’s lameass crap. Realism is for losers. Everyone who’s ever done something amazing did it despite the fact that people told them it was “impossible.” This week, keep that in mind before you rope off every dream you (and those you love) ever had.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Cold weather’s a lot more pleasurable with someone to share it with. Instead of viewing it as a harsh time that limits your options, consider it a chance to indulge in pleasures unavailable to you at other times of the year; cuddling under a quilt with someone sweet and a cup of cocoa would be a drag at the height of summer, but it’s ace now. Try it. In fact, try anything and everything that might transform the present moment from simply bearable to brilliant. If you don’t learn this knack, you’ll be just as unhappy come summer, because it’s too damn hot and you miss wearing your favorite sweater.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) As if the last couple weeks, with all that holiday business, weren’t stressful enough, now you’ll be hit with a whole new flavor of stress, and it’ll be one you’d rather didn’t exist, like pistachio-melon or bubble-gum walnut. Unfortunately, there’s no easy out here, so it’s grin-chew-swallow-grin all the way. It will get better, as long as you don’t spit it back in the faces of the idiots feeding it to you. Yeah, it sucks that you’re being handed heaping platefuls of crap to eat, but the quicker you can choke it down, the quicker you can get to dessert—which will actually taste all the more fantastic for what you had to get through to get to it.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Everyone’s exploring new ways to commit to each other. Old-school marriages don’t often work, because they involve (at least for most of our grandparents) an awful lot of lying, deceit and self-deception. These days, we all want to have our cake and eat it, too. We want honesty and openness, but that involves acknowledging that our actual desires rarely fit neatly into perfect, box-shaped relationships, at least not for more than a few years. Sometimes really being each other’s perfect partners means being sexually open, or sharing intimacy with more than one other person, or otherwise stretching our preprogrammed ideas about what love and commitment really mean. This week, work on that.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) You’ve been known to overdose on forgiveness, and I usually counsel you to cool it before you start doling out sixth and seventh chances. But this week, I rescind that general advice. Go hog wild, Mother Theresa. Extend forgiveness to anyone who honestly asks for it, whether it’s their second, fifth, or twenty-third chance. You’re allowed to be cynical, of course, and believe that you’ll probably get burned again. In fact, acknowledging that likelihood makes your act of compassion all the more beautiful. It also gives that one person who’s really ready to try something new a chance to actually do it, with your blessing making all the difference.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) You’re such a generous comfort to the people around you. How many times have you talked people (figuratively) down from high jumping places, or dragged someone up from the dumpster behind your building? You’re a natural diplomat, comforter, and shoulder to cry on. When, however, was the last time you allowed yourself to be rescued or otherwise reassured? You shouldn’t go out of your way this week to require consolation or rescue—but if you do happen to need someone to tell you that everything’s going to be alright, please, please ask for it, won’t you?

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) I can usually trust a Scorpio to be relatively unmotivated by money. You might have a lot of other ulterior motives, but pure profit is usually pretty far down your priority list. That’s why your actions of late have confused me, because they seem, at least on the surface, to be motivated by something akin to monetary gain, at the expense of much more valuable ideals. Is there something more to your recent actions? Or was it a momentary lapse in judgment? This week, fix whatever’s wrong: our perceptions or your actions.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) I need help letting go, Sag. I’ve come to you because you’re as close to an expert on the subject as we’ve got. Surely, you’ve got some amazing tricks up your sleeve in this department. We’re hopeless. Even when we know release is the only choice, sometimes we just keep hanging on. What should we do when desire overwhelms rationality? How do you let go when you really don’t want to? This week, you’re the teacher, imparting this crucial skill to those of us in need of it. What’s your secret? Clue us in, won’t you?

I don’t do the whole New Year’s resolutions thing. And I never really have. In the past, they were more like gentle one-word reminders that I’d then type into my cell phone display so that every time I made a call, I’d be compelled to “smile” or “breathe” or “dontkillanyonetodaywhomightbemissed.” But if I were going to make one—a resolution—this would be the year to do it because last year sucked balls. Big, hairy, rotten-pineapple-and-refining-bagasse smelling balls. The kind that made me want to bite cars and body-slam windmills. Not that there weren’t good things that happened last year as well. Of course it can always be worse. And I am still alive and healthy, after all. But hear me out. I guess 2006 was difficult because it was a year of endless endings, without the transformative sun-breaking-through-the-clouds bit that’s supposed to follow. Yes, my grandmother passed away, three of my closest friends moved to the mainland, my Jeep blew up, and the family dog had to be put down. But that’s not all. It wasn’t just the bad stuff that made this past year so challenging. There were closures, too—of past relationships and the apparent end of my free-wheelin’ singledom. And I hate to say it but you know it’s true: when all your friends are getting married, buying houses and birthing babies while you’re still trying to figure out how you’re gonna pay rent and save money for the future—a future seemingly filled with cats and a leaky tin roof— it can be a little overwhelming. You might be thinking, “Get over it, Holoholo Girl! This is life! Stop feeling sorry for yourself!” And well, you might be absolutely right. And for that, you suck. But you’d be missing the point. If those things that happened were just events that required no contemplation, no self-analytical checkpoints to gauge my spiritual, emotional and intellectual evolution—if they were arbitrary events occurring over a reasonable period of time, I feel as though I would grieve appropriately and move on. You remember Sex and the City? I don’t have to tell you how much I loved the show, or that the Sugar Shack girls and I would plan our weekends around marathons of it or that I still watch old episodes occasionally. But there was one thing that really irked me about its demise, or rather, how it ended. The series finale featured Carrie, the main character, leaving uncertainty and an unstable artist in Paris for her “one true love,” Mr. Big in New York. Although it’s implied that New York City is what actually completes her, it’s more obvious to the viewer that by finally uniting Carrie with Mr. Big, the chapter closes. Nothing more needs to be said. What bothered me about the show’s ending is that it inferred Carrie’s journey stopped—her endless quest for truth was over and her quixotic life neatly wrapped up in a Prada package with matching Chanel ribbon—as soon as she found love. She got her man and that’s what any single, successful, smart woman wants in the end. Isn’t it? I couldn’t disagree more. And maybe this is part of my problem. My fear last year when I was single was that if I continued to run around like a crazy drunken harlot in a bustier, sure I’d have adequate material to write about but I wouldn’t be present enough to know how to take it—writing this column, mainly—to the next level. When I became enveloped in a bubble of love that stopped time for a moment, I was present but missing out on the process of discovery so crucial for entertaining column fodder. And so it seems my struggle right now is to somehow find a happy medium in which I can appreciate a mature relationship while branching out independently and enriching my personal and professional growth. To be in love and yet, still searching and reaching and writing about the sociological significance of drunks in bars. And to stop watching so much goddamned TV. I’ll figure it out. Have faith. And keep those drinks coming. Oh, so what is the resolution I would make this year? Hmm… I’m guessing it would be smile, breathe and don’t kill anyone today who might be missed.
