After reading your article on Kihei Charter [“Chartering a Course,” March 19] I am less worried about being a new parent who recently moved to Maui. I support public schools and couldn’t afford a private school anyway, but I was hoping there was a good alternative out there. I hope they can get the funding they need to stay open and expand.

Patricia Marie Rider, Kihei

PUBLIC DEFENDER Your article was disappointing on many different levels. It is fine that the paper wanted to highlight the efforts being made by KCS, but it is unfair and inappropriate to do so by painting such a negative picture of the public schools on Maui and in Hawaii.

There is no doubt that there are problems in Hawaii’s public schools. Yes, standardized testing scores highlight some of these problems. However, the test scores don’t explain various differences between schools, such as the socio-economic level of the students or the educational attainment of students’ parents. It is a fact that students whose parents are more involved in their education will have a much higher rate of success. This is a fact that is directly related to some of the success that KCS can claim.

These parents and kids have all chosen to go to this school, meaning that they actually care about how well they do in school. So who deserves the credit for these scores? Is it the school itself or is it the population of students that are higher achieving based on their background? I want to end with some thoughts about the need for a public school in South Maui.

Where can you find another town with a population of 20,000-plus people that does not have its own high school? KCS would not want to have 1,000 students to service, because they know they would then be unable to provide the type of services their current students receive.

Yup, back to the old days—Hawaiian Airlines and Young Brothers are in control again [“Ferry Interesting,” March 19]. Take all the shellfish, rocks, plants, mud or whatever you want as long as you can afford the costs and are willing to wait. By the way, how much fuel is used by that tugboat for the trip from Oahu to Maui or by the jet if it had to take three hours to go from Maui to Oahu?

And what did it cost the state to put in

that new airport a few years back (in terms of today’s money)? And how many of those passengers actually stop in Kahului to shop before zooming off in their rental cars to get to Kihei or Lahaina? And what are we saving Kahului Harbor from anyway? Although the jet flight is only 25 minutes or so, my legs enjoyed the legroom. Three hours too long for you? But, you can talk on your cell phone; work on the computer; read the newspaper; have time to talk story with your fellow passengers; or just take the time to relax to get the stress out of your system. Superferry closes down operations—too bad Hawaii.

Bob McCully, submitted online at mauitime.com

FERRY BAD Bob, thanks for commenting without resorting to the name-calling and obscenities that others have used. Please don’t overlook the facts that indicate HSF was never even close to being profitable, even at reduced fares and waived fuel surcharges. Now they’ll use the Supreme Court’s decision as an excuse to leave, which many predicted was their intent all along. But they played the sympathy card well, and used the (part-time) employees as pawns. Don’t forget the state Auditor Marianne Higa’s report (though Lingle withheld documents as long as she could) condemning the actions of issuing an exemption from the EIS and passing Act 2.

Now all the Guv can say is, “We were right all along.” Anything worth doing is worth doing well, and haste makes waste. But HSF didn’t heed those adages and shunned public involvement with their planning process as much as possible. I’m glad MTW as an independent paper is getting some good factual info to the community, and also that account of how sick people get on the big boat. Bob, I appreciate the tone of your comments. But I think it’s time the state stopped pouring taxpayers’ money into a big black hole in the ocean.

Before ‘Eddie Would Go’ Thirty-one years after the Hokule‘a incident, Eddie Aikau’s legacy lives on “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

-John 15:13 (Quote on the Eddie Aikau Memorial Plaques, Waimea Bay and The Hokule’a) hirty-one years ago this month, a 31-year-old Maui native became one of Hawaii’s most celebrated heroes, while laying down his life for his crewmen aboard the Hokule‘a, a replica of the ancient Polynesian canoes used by Hawaii’s first inhabitants. But while Eddie

job opportunities. But while Eddie may have left Maui, Maui never left Eddie.

Aikau’s biographer, Stuart Holmes Coleman, explains: “Eddie was always such a humble man. And I think growing up in Maui, spending his childhood in the sea and in the shadows of Haleakala, those images formed a lot of his personality. I really believe the power of the island humbled him, and stayed with him throughout his life.”

“The power of [Maui] humbled him, and stayed with him throughout his life.”

- Biographer Stuart Holmes Coleman Aikau’s death aboard the Hokule‘a may have been an utter tragedy, the stories of the man and the vessel do not end there—nor do they begin there.

Edward Aikau was born in Kahului on May 4, 1946. His Father, Solomon (aka “Pops”), worked as a driver for the Kahului Railroad Company and raised his six children in a small community

by Kahului Harbor known as Rawfish Camp. Though the family had little income and few material possessions, Solomon and his wife, Henrietta, instilled in their children the priceless values of their Hawaiian heritage.

From a young age, the Aikau children were taught about their ancestral ties to the sea, and practiced these customs with weekly trips to the harbor. It was here, not far from where the ill-fated Superferry docked, that Hawaii’s heaviest charger rode his first waves.

“We would always go to the beach on the weekends with Pops. We were such a tightly knit family,” remembers Eddie’s younger brother, Solomon III. “When Eddie was about 12 years old, Pops taught Eddie to surf. Who would have known that it would effect his future, and all of Hawaii’s as much as it did?”

In 1958, the future of the entire family was changed when Pops moved them to Honolulu in search of better

Eddie dropped out of school, picked up work at the Dole cannery and became a self-taught scholar of oceanography. The Aikau boys would obsessively fish, canoe, sail and carve lines along the small waves of Waikiki. But even in those early years of Eddie’s surfing career, he knew that bigger things awaited him on the opposite side of the island, in a proving ground where surfers break as easily as the fiberglass they ride—the North Shore.

Before the jet ski replaced paddling, and Maui’s Peahi became the mecca for big wave tow-in surfing, Oahu’s Waimea Bay was the world’s largest ride-able wave. And Aikau dominated the place. In 1967, during his very first session at the bay, Aikau’s big wave grit turned the heads—and won the hearts— of famous surfers Greg Knoll and George Downing. That same session, Aikau won fame on the world stage, landing a photo in Life magazine. He would later go on to win the Duke Kahanamoku Classic and several other professional surfing contests.

The following year, Aikau left the Dole cannery and became one of Hawaii’s first lifeguards. He was assigned to patrol the beaches of the North Shore, the 7-mile miracle stretching between Sunset Beach and Haleiwa. No souls perished at sea under Aikau’s watchful eyes.

But Aikau may have saved just as many lives on the land as he did in the

The Hokule’a is currently on the second leg of its 2,000-mile journey. ocean. During the early 1970s, hordes of talented but aggressive Australians were over-flocking the line-ups and ruffling the feathers of locals. This resulted in the formation of Da Hui, an infamous surf club based on water safety but shrouded in allegations of violence and intense localism.

In 1974, during the height of altercations between Da Hui and the Aussies, Aikau became the peacemaker. Aikau was able to subdue the violence by holding an official meeting between the opposing camps to discuss the alarming hostility he saw on the waters he patrolled.

“Eddie Aikau was at once gentle and fearless, fierce and gracious,” says Drew Kampion, editor of Surfing magazine at the time. “He was always an ambassador of moderation, carrying the torch of Aloha through dark days.”

Aikau also sought to carry the torch of his ancestry by sailing aboard the Hokule‘a. In 1975, the Polynesian Voyaging Society constructed the Hokule‘a, the first voyaging canoe built in Hawaii in over 600 years. It was replicated to reenact the discovery of these islands through celestial navigation.

Hokule‘a means “star of gladness,” because the ancient Polynesians used this particular star to align themselves with Hawaii. In 1976, the vessel launched its maiden voyage from Maui’s Honolua Bay en route to Tahiti.

ddie Aikau was going through a painful divorce in 1978 when he was selected to be one of the 16 crewmembers for the Hokule‘a’s second voyage. Sources say he was honored to be part of the revitalization of his culture, and hoped the journey would bring some personal healing as well.

On March 17, 1978, shortly after leaving Honolulu’s Ala Wai Harbor, the Hokule‘a hit rough seas and began to take on water in its starboard hull. Terrified crewmembers attempted to bail the water while 10foot waves pounded the boat and eventually caused it to capsize.

The crew hung onto the vessel throughout the early morning hours as their hopes of a quick rescue swiftly drifted away.

Two crewmembers were going into shock, everyone was suffering from exposure and some began to notice sharks circling.

Always selfless, Aikau begged permission from Captain Dave Lyman to paddle a surfboard 12 nautical miles to the island of Lanai, to seek help from the Coast Guard.

At 10:30am, the crew watched Hawaii’s greatest lifeguard and big wave surfer paddle off into the horizon. The remaining crew was later rescued after the Coast Guard had been notified by an interisland flight that saw the boat in distress.

Despite one of the largest air and sea rescue missions in modern Hawaii’s history, Eddie Aikau was never seen again.

This year, the Polynesian Voyaging Society has launched an interactive pilot education program in an effort to bring the Hokule‘a from the seas to the classrooms.

“We always keep Eddie in mind,” says crewmember Pauline Sato. “One way we honor him is to be sure we are as safe as we can be so that no other person has to make the sacrifice he made.”

The Aikau family continues to support the efforts of the Hokule‘a.

“The success and safety of the Hokule‘a and its crew is one of the most important things to my family,” says Solomon III.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

“This program is an excellent way to teach our students about the sacredness of these islands,” says Principal Susan Hendricks. “It’s our school’s mission, and our role as educators, to keep these traditions alive, and this program is strengthening our will to do so.”

Solomon III is doing his part to keep Eddie’s spirit alive. He is the president of the Eddie Aikau Foundation, a nonprofit organization created to share Eddie’s life, contributions and accom-

plishments while promoting education and the advancement of Hawaiian culture. The foundation holds an annual essay contest, beach clean-ups and has even donated money to the parents of a drowned Ecuadorian surfer when the family couldn’t afford to fly their sons’ remains home.

“We try to do the things that we think Eddie would want us to do,” says Solomon III. “He loved everything about our people. And even though Eddie dropped out of school, it was something he regretted, and he would tell kids to stay in school because it’s important to learn about their culture.”

Organizations like the Polynesian Voyaging Society and the Eddie Aikau Foundation are working to bridge the past and the future, and to give the gift of history and culture to Hawaii’s youth. Who knows how many Eddie Aikaus are waiting in the coming generations?

To truly understand some of Hawaii’s greatest heroes, you first have to know the place from which so many of them came.

Kula Fields brings farm fresh local food to your door here is a growing awareness that too much of the food we consume is imported. The reasons for favoring a local diet are many: it’s fresher and more nutritious; it supports and helps diversify the local economy; it avoids fuel spent on shipping.

Still, most statistics quoted indicate 85-90 percent of the food consumed in Hawaii is shipped or flow in. A detailed analysis of Maui’s food systems has yet to be conducted, but it’s suspected that the same numbers hold true.

Maui residents who buy fruit and produce from farmers’ markets and swap meet vendors may not realize that often they are purchasing shipped-in foods, rearranged and displayed as if they were Maui grown.

(To help make it clear, Upcountry grocers such as Mana Foods, Hanzawa’s, Pukalani Superette and others label items raised by local farmers.)

Up on the fertile slopes of Haleakala, an entrepreneurial effort has sprouted to deliver farm fresh foods to your door.

Roxanne Tiffin of Kula Fields Delivery Service has shifted gears to keep up with demand from her expanding customer base, which is growing faster than a midsummer zucchini vine.

T

iffin, a busy mother of three, says her business was born out of her own reluctance to run to the store, only to find Mainland imports. Sensing that others would support local farmers if they could, she initiated her service. Now she’s on the road three days a week, after compiling 70-80 orders weekly from her Web site, kulafields.com.

“Just the energy of working with fresh fruits and vegetables makes me happy,” Tiffin says. “I know that sounds a bit funny, but it’s true.”

Tiffin is succeeding where other attempts for similar services connecting growers and buyers have floundered.

She also offers up a monthly newsletter and recipes, donates excess produce to the Maui Food Bank and works to support school gardens in collaboration with South Maui Sustainability.

In fact, it was after attending one of SMS’s first meetings last year that her business took a quantum leap. She suggested to one of the group’s founders, Maury King, that he sign up for her service and see how he liked it.

Roxanne showed me a typical list, which changes according to seasonal availability, of items delivered to cus-

If you read this column even occasionally, you’re undoubtedly familiar with the controversy surrounding the LC’s dancing rules. If not: the Maui County Department of Liquor Control restricts dancing in booze-selling establishments to certain areas often delineated by duct tape. Drinking in the dancing area is prohibited, as is dancing in the drinking area. For many, it’s something of a joke, but it’s also pretty serious.

Roxanne Tiffin is planting the seeds for a sustainable future. tomers. This week’s assortment includes: strawberries; papaya; Roma tomatoes; red leaf lettuce; green beans; kale; rainbow chard; radishes; green peppers; mixed baby greens; avocado; and lemons.

Optional orders may also be placed for floral arrangements, Maui Cattle Company beef, Surfing Goat Dairy cheeses, Maui Coffee Company whole beans, honey, fruit, bread, oils and Kula Country Farms jams, syrups and barbecue sauces. Buyers can also opt for “organic only.”

Impressive? Maury King apparently thought so. He wrote a glowing letter of praise about Tiffin’s service to The Maui News. The results were immediate.

“My Web site went from a few hits a day to 100-plus,” says Tiffin. “My phone was ringing off the hook. I had no idea so many people were hungry for this kind of service.” ula Fields now has about 130 customers, who sign up for either weekly or bi-weekly deliveries.

Tiffin’s largest client base is in West Maui, where she says grocery stores are especially limited in the locally grown items they carry. South Maui is a strong second, she says.

Her toughest day is Friday, when the “Upcountry route” takes her from Kula to Huelo, Haiku, Paia, Spreckelsville, Haliimaile, Makawao and Pukalani.

That’s a lot of gas. But, she reasons, it’s much less than her dozens of customers would burn driving to the store.

Tiffin buys directly from farmers, and also from the Maui Farmers Cooperative Exchange. Her roots are on the Mainland, where she organized a natural food buying co-op, The Good Earth, in west suburban Chicago, circa 2000.

K

Moving to Maui in 2004, Tiffin worked as a buyer at Mana Foods for three years, leaving to give birth to her third child.

Soon after, her delivery business was born. t’s not surprising that grassroots community efforts are leading the charge to support small farmers, organic growing methods and local food sustainability. Nationwide, government has too often kowtowed to agribusiness giants like Cargill, Monsanto and ArcherDaniels-Midland when setting agricultural policy and doling out federal subsidies.

The Sustainable Food Coalition noted that the amount of federal support for local farmers’ markets—about $5 million last year—is roughly the same as it was when Jimmy Carter was President. The New York Times reports that while mandatory farm subsidies gobbled up $7.5 billion, just $15 million was spent on organic and local food programs.

The Farm Bill guides policies over a five-year span, and significant changes require congressional approvals.

Still, the Obama economic stimulus plan has provisions to award as much as $250 million in loan guarantees over the next two years to support local and regional food networks.

I

The controversy is twofold.

First, what exactly constitutes “dancing”? A head bob? A toe tap? A hip swivel? The LC’s definition is extremely vague. (When Commissioner Frank Silva was asked for clarification, he offered up the old “I know it when I see it” chestnut.)

The second bone of contention is more basic: no matter how you define dancing, isn’t placing governmental restrictions on it a blatant violation of the First Amendment?

Maui Dance Advocates—a grassroots group started by two young Mauians, Ramoda Anand and Anthony Simmons—thinks so. MDA has been fighting, with the help of attorney Lance Collins, to get the LC to revise or at least clarify its dancing rules since 2006.

see DELIVERY, page 11

They’re due for another day in court on March 27, when Judge Joseph Cardoza will consider a motion for summary judgment filed by MDA. That means the hearing could lead to either victory or defeat for MDA and quite possibly another appeal.

So it may not be the end of the dance marathon, but it’s a significant twist. We’ll keep you posted.

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD OUCH! In January 2008, London’s The Sun found a practitioner of a new art form in which a design is inked, with a tattoo needle, into the sclera, which is the white part of the eyeball. That volunteer (from Canada) may well be the only daredevil, or one of a tiny number, but Oklahoma state senators were alarmed enough that they passed legislation out of committee in February to ban the practice in their state. “If we can stop…one person from doing it, we’ve been successful,” said Sen. Cliff Branan.

An Oklahoma City tattoo artist told KSBI-TV that the law is useless, in that “common sense” will prevent the problem. (So far, only the senators from Oklahoma seem to believe they have constituents who might actually ask for ink to be inserted into their eyeballs.)

OH, MEN AND THEIR WOOD In February, at the 500th annual celebration of the Buddhist Saidaiji Eyo festival (reputed to be one of Japan’s three “oddest”), about 9,000 men dressed only in loincloths tussled over two pieces of sacred wood that were thrown into what the Kyodo news service called a “writhing throng” of men at a temple in Okayama. Those who somehow emerged with the 8inch-long planks will supposedly have good luck this year.

ILLUSIONS OF GRANDEUR The Vatican said in January that Pope Benedict XVI would soon issue guidelines to help Catholics understand which “sightings” of the Virgin Mary and Jesus are legitimate and which are phony (such as “apparitions” that seem to have been created for quick sale on eBay).

THE WEEK

We understand that cosmetic surgery (or plastic surgery, to use its other, less euphemistic name) can occasionally serve a noble purpose. Fixing a child’s cleft lip, reconstructing the facial features of someone disfigured in an accident—that sort of thing. But let’s get real: the majority of these procedures are done with vanity and cash as the only motivators.

In our beauty- and money-obsessed culture, that’s perfectly fitting. But the economy being what it is, many would-be patients have surely found that nose job out of reach. Enter bidforsurgery.com, where doctors will “bid” for the right to work on you. Then you get to pick the doc with the low-ball offer, and have him or her take a scalpel and slice you open.

the Food Safety Administration that would be responsible for policing food producers nationwide (yes, that’s what we need—another layer of bureaucracy).

The agency would be headed up by a “food czar”, a role that’s reportedly been set aside for Michael Taylor, who served as Deputy Commissioner of the FDA under Clinton and is currently a lawyer for, you guessed it, Monsanto.

Among other things, the bill would put a huge burden on small and especially organic farms and would make it easier for ag giants like, um, Monsanto to sue for seed patent infringement. Here’s the kicker: HR875 was introduced by Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut.

DeLauro’s husband, Stanley Greenberg, is a consultant for, drumroll please—Monsanto! Will the coincidences never cease? (You can read the full text of the bill at govtrack.us/congress; to contact Rep. Hirono, visit hirono.house.gov.)

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18 I’ve been hearing rumblings from different corners about HR875, a bill currently slithering through the halls of Washington.

Euphemistically dubbed the Food Safety and Modernization Act of 2009, the bill—which gained the support of Hawaii’s own Rep. Mazie Hirono—has been described by critics as a “federal takeover of food regulation” (naturalnews.com) and “Monsanto’s dream” (opednews.com). Basically, it would create a new federal agency called

MARCH 26, 2009

Yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of the Hawaii Admissions Act. Predictably, emotions were stirred. For some, statehood represents the end of a long struggle for legitimacy and the beginning of new opportunities. For others, it’s the apex of a hostile, illegal takeover, a painful reminder of an injustice that the U.S. government has apologized for but made no real efforts to remedy. This is one of those issues that keeps growing and fragmenting the more you study it. You’ll find stubborn intolerance and reasoned, passionate arguments on both sides (and really there are way, way more than two sides). My only wish on these symbolic days is that we had a leader who could bridge the divide and facilitate an honest, constructive dialogue that acknowledged all the voices in the conversation. Hey, we’ve got an election coming up in 2010— something to keep in mind.

FRIDAY, MARCH 20 The fallout from the Supreme Court’s Superferry ruling has been interesting and a tad disturbing. A few of the boat’s more vocal opponents could be accused of gloating (though I stand firmly behind our coverage, this paper is not immune to such criticism). Meanwhile, on the other side, there’s been some serious bile spewed in the direction of the Sierra Club and other groups that brought the challenge against Act 2. I understand many people (not enough people, clearly, but many) rode the Superferry and will miss it. (To cite one example: I’ve heard from several readers who participate in neighbor island car and motorcycle events who say they’ll now have to pay hundreds of dollars more to get their vehicles to Oahu.)

Their frustration is understandable, but it’s misdirected. Responsibility for the vessel’s demise rests squarely on the shoulders of those who forced it into the water without a completed EIS and with a more-than-shaky business plan. This project was botched from the start; it limped out of the gate and collapsed after one lap.

Blame the people who put it in the race, not the ones who carried it off the track…. While we’re on the subject: Superferry CEO Tom Fargo is an early contender for quote of the year, with this gem delivered during a recent press conference, in response to accusations that the boat was built for clandestine military purposes: “[If that were the case] we certainly wouldn’t have gone to the trouble to paint the Not only is the fox in the henhouse, he owns it.

Like Tiffin, Ross is interested in getting gardening into the schools. He teaches second graders through the Ag in the Schools program, supported by Maui County Farm Bureau.

Last month, Ross’s friend Russell Greenleaf of Scarsdale, New York came to visit. Greenleaf has had success in implementing school gardens programs, and is now moving to teach similar skills to prison inmates. Joined by Tiffin and her friend Jill Nordby, they met with local ag agencies to discuss a school gardens program on Maui.

“I didn’t want to see it get talked to death while waiting for funding,” says Tiffin, explaining why she jumped into the project. Finding willing partners in SMS, who will dig beds, deliver compost and install irrigation over the upcoming spring

break, Kamalii Elementary in Kihei will soon be sprouting its own vegetable plot.

Tiffin and Nordby brainstormed a Harvest Day fundraiser: Kula Fields would support the Kamalii school garden by donating 10 percent of the proceeds from subscribing families of Kamalii students. Healthier than a bake sale, they note, and more sensible than a car-wash fundraiser on water-short Maui.

As government too often spins its wheels, community efforts are steering us toward a healthier, localized food paradigm. A throwback to a simpler time, Roxanne Tiffin’s Kula Fields Delivery Service is just one example of grassroots ingenuity tackling part of the sustainability challenge we all face.

ish has been a staple food on Maui since the island was first inhabited. That’s no great surprise—when you’re living on a tiny rock in the middle of the Pacific, surrounded by the bounty of the sea, where else would you turn for sustenance? Of course, the Hawaiian people didn’t just live off the fish, they lived with them, developing innovative fishing techniques and creating the loko i’a, an impressive early example of sustainable aquaculture.

On contemporary Maui you can find just about any meat, cooked just about any way. But fish remains a perennial favorite, and for good reason: it’s versatile enough to be used in a wide array of dishes, yet powerful enough to maintain its distinct quality. Fish is appealing at all hours of the day (case in point: the ahi omelet), but the aforementioned versatility is perhaps best demonstrated at the lunch hour. (Incidentally, we contend that lunch, not breakfast, is the most important meal. But that’s a subject for another time.)

In the following pages, we highlight some choice spots to grab a midday bite of mahi-mahi, ono, etc. Whether you like your fish fried and served with malt vinegar, on a plate heaping with potato mac salad or rolled up in seaweed with a side of sake, there’s something here for you. Our selections are far from exhaustive, but that’s the point—Maui has such an embarrassment of riches when it comes to fish, it’d be near impossible to highlight every option.

So go ahead—bait your hook and cast your line. We promise you’ll reel in something delicious.

You’re not really on Maui until you’ve kicked off your slippers, put your feet up and watched the sun sink into the sea with a green bottle in one hand and a fish taco in the other. Even restaurants that want nothing to do with burritos, enchiladas and fajitas find a spot on the menu for this item. The preparation and fixings vary widely, but the central concept remains the same: simple, yummy, essential.

Jawz 1279 S. Kihei Rd., 874-8226 We’ll put the bad shark jokes on the shelf and just say that this is one of the most popular places on-island for a reason. Get mahi, ahi or ono on a soft tortilla with shredded cabbage, cilantro rice and creamy salsa. Two fins up—couldn’t resist. $

Maui Tacos Islandwide, mauitacos.com They’ve gone global, but they’ve still got Maui in their heart. Put one of their grilled fish tacos, wrapped in a soft shell and garnished with black beans, slaw and some dollops from the self-serve salsa bar, in your stomach. $

The topic of this year’s food issue was decided on a morning when the only vegan on staff was sleeping off quiz night. Coincidence? Maybe.

Kahuna Kabob

This is without question the most wide-open category. It can mean anything from a basic plate lunch to the kind of fancy dish you’d order at a sit-down business engagement with silverware not made from plastic and tablecloths actually made of cloth. Either way, you’ll find no shortage of choices, accentuated by a smorgasbord of sides and garnishes. Just remember: when you’re at one of those upscale joints, lick your plate discreetly.

126 Lahainaluna Road, Lahaina, 661-9999 Fish Kabob: Marinated fresh fish on a stick! Grilled up with veggies and brown rice if you like, it’s a healthy lunch choice. $

Penne Pasta Cafe 180 Dickenson St., Lahaina, 661-6633 Garlic Ahi Nicoise Salad: Best Nicoise ever. The Garlic Ahi at Penne is delicious and you can order it on any of their pastas, but the Nicoise is the bomb. $

Pacific’o Maui Grill & Bento 2050 Main St., Wailuku, 249-2161 Butterfish Plate: Butterfish done right, with the best sides. It’s got green salad with homemade dressing plus little Asian sides like pickled veggies, tempura potato and cabbage salad. $

505 Front St. Lahaina, 667-4341 Sesame Seared Fish: The freshest fish bought by local fisherman is what you get here, along with the amazing Kamehameha Iki beach views, topnotch service and great martinis. Some of us can drink vodka with lunch, right? $$

Big Wave Cafe Hard Rock Cafe 900 Front St., Lahaina 667-7400 Grilled Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon: It’s in the name, but when you add merlot garlic butter and white cheddar mashed potatoes it’s irresistible. The added bonus is a lunch high in Omega-3s. $$

1215 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei, 891-8688 Grilled Mahi Mahi Salad: They grill fresh fish and serve it on a bed of hearts of romaine and fresh kula greens with a lemon vinaigrette. Genius. $$

Plus, you can avoid the carb overload by ordering stir fry veggies with it instead of the mac salad. $

1188 Makawao Ave, Makawao 572-0220 Fresh Fish from Maui’s Ocean: They say it on the menu just like that, plus it’s served with potatoes and salad—how European. This chic Italian restaurant is a hub of activity in Makawao and their dishes make for a memorable lunch experience.

Unisan This could be the subject of an entire issue, but any run-down of fish-for-lunch options that didn’t mention Japan’s laudable culinary contribution would be incomplete. Salmon or spicy tuna, yellow tail or anago (not technically fish, we know, but tasty enough to bend the rules)— no cuisine is better at blending and utilizing the gifts of the ocean. And even if you don’t have time for a sit-down meal, those little rolls are perfect for a bite on the go.

Aural assault Hip-hop trio brings the beats to Maui he Valley Isle is not exactly teeming with hip-hop acts, but Assault Squad Riderz has managed to get itself on the map. Consisting of Burn Bangatrax, Moet and 81-J, A.S.R. has been around for over a decade. They play somewhat regularly on-island and host Inferno Fridays at

T

A.S.R. Album: From the Rock 2 the Block Web site: myspace.com/ASR1

Lulu’s in Kihei. Tracks from their latest release, From the Rock 2 the Block, reveal a sound that embraces windowrattling bass and flashy synth as well as sweet R&B and island melodies. We caught up with producer Burn Bangatrax to get the lowdown on how to grow hip-hop on Maui.

When and how did you guys start getting together to make music?

It was freshmen year when we all got together at King Kekaulike High School. We didn’t see each other for about a year from intermediate school and during that year of being away we all were doing hip-hop on our own. Then we all reunited in high school and decided to put together a hip-hop group.

What inspired your name?

Assault Squad Riderz was inspired not as a physical trade to scare people, but more like a metaphor. It was like assault, meaning we’re attacking the music scene, attacking the break dancing scene and so on. And we needed a name that best described us as being strong and to push forward instead of being pushed around.

What drew each of you to this particular kind of music?

It would have to be the four elements of hip-hop, which are an M.C, break dancing, graffiti arts and a D.J. With these elements we feel that we could express a lot more as artists.

Break dancing? Sweet! Will there be break dancing at your next show?

If there’s enough room. But most of the time stages here that we perform on are small. But hopefully we can [incorporate] break dancing in the near future, ‘cause it’s part of our act and it brings more excitement to the event.

How long have you been gigging on Maui, and how often do you play out?

About 5 years. We often play about one to three times a month at places like night clubs, bars, car shows, store grand openings. We even got to play twice at Maui Theater [Ulalena].

How would you describe your sound?

We would like to say that we have our own sound—it’s a mix between Mainland feel with an island and R&B twist to it.

How are tracks put together? Is there much live instrumentation or sampling?

Mostly with keyboards and guitar.

Nothing much live yet because of room capacity. But it’s all original with no sampling.

How do you go about writing songs?

Do you start with lyrics, melody, a beat or what?

First we all come together in the studio and decide what type of vibe we’d like to work on—if it’s a party song, a laid-back song or even a story. Then the producer feeds off that vibe and comes up with the beat, then we get a vibe from the beat and decide what we would like to talk about and soon, when we’re all on the same page, we start writing the hook, record that and we each start writing a verse. And we record that last.

Where can people find your CD? It’s available on Maui at Borders, Omni, Request Music and Urban City Clothing.

Sharks! [book] CLOSE TO SHORE

HAPPY HOUR 3-6PM DOMESTIC BEER 2 • IMPORTS 3 $

Michael Capuzzo Selachophobia—fear of sharks—is one of the most irrational fears one can harbor. The stats come nowhere near supporting that sense you get once you pass the shore break, the one that makes you think your fate rests within the gullet of Galeocerdo cuvier. This, apparently, is a result of sensationalistic media. Jaws author Peter Benchley laments the viral fear that the blockbuster film of the same name spurred as well as the way news outlets turn a few shark attacks into a nationwide panic. Capuzzo’s Close to Shore depicts the terrifying events that transpired during the summer of 1912, when a string of shark attacks on the Jersey Shore captured the imagination of practically the entire population. He goes beyond news reports in recreating key events—when depicting one attack he describes how, as it neared its victim, the shark’s jaw unhinged and its eyes glazed over with a protective coating. Yet while the book dramatizes the attacks, the author also makes an effort to note how exponentially unlikely such a string of attacks is, and how the media, not sharks, are what made the phenomenon so remarkable.

NEXT STOP...

[film] DEEP BLUE SEA If this film is the Jaws of the late ‘90s, then the late ‘90s are the Deep Blue Sea of human progress. The premise involves a bio-engineered super shark that gets loose in a futuristic undersea lab and terrorizes some unlucky humans. And that’s basically it.

Although I have to confess that viewing this movie brought me to an important insight regarding character development in mainstream film: if a character lights up a cigarette within the first 20 minutes of a flick, said character is probably going to die. This is a recent phenomenon, of course, given that tobacco consumption has only been maligned on a broad scale for the past two decades or so. Rather than recommend that readers watch this film (I would never make you endure that), I’ll reveal the scenario herein: pudgy old lab dude paces cavalierly near confined shark, if my memory serves, and lights up. Shark gets free and annihilates pudgy lab dude by way of steely jaw. Everyone wins. So try not to get attached the next time someone sparks a smoke in a big budget movie made after 1995.

The Real Deal.

[web site] THE INTERNATIONAL SHARK ATTACK FILE flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/Sharks/ISAF/ISAF.htm You may notice that pretty much every news story written in the wake of a shark attack features quotes from the same expert. That expert would be University of Florida researcher George Burgess, under whose auspices the International Shark Attack File is compiled. The file provides lay people with the straight dope concerning the frequency of (unprovoked) shark attacks worldwide.

In any given summer, news outlets may claim that shark attacks are on the rise, but the ISAF will dispel such sensationalistic claims. On this site you can compare the rate of squirrel bites, tornadoes and lightning strikes to that of shark attacks. You can learn about how Americans have a one in five chance of dying of heart disease, a one in 79,746 chance of biting the dust by way of lightning and a one in 3,748,467 chance of fatally falling victim to a shark. Of course odds are greater for a run-in with a shark in the isles, but nowhere near as likely as some make it seem. MTW

BY BARRY WURST II BARRY@MAUITIME.COM

Creature presentation 3-D animated romp a big, eye-popping delight his movie was only a few seconds old when I knew that I loved it. It opens with the logo for Dreamworks studio, which has the image of a small boy sitting atop a crescent moon, surrounded by clouds.

Usually, the boy is just sitting there holding a fishing pole, but this time, he’s minding his own business, when a flying saucer pops down and abducts him.

T

Monsters vs.

Aliens

★★★★★ ★ Rated PG/94 min.

The movie that follows, a delightful 3-D computer-animated comedy, is just as amusing and always funny.

Reese Witherspoon provides the voice

of Susan, a soon-to-be-married bride who, on her wedding day, is crushed by a meteorite. She survives the incident with disheveled hair and superpowers, like enormous strength and the ability to grow a few stories taller. When an alien invasion strikes and a giant, one-eyed robot terrorizes San Francisco, the president calls on Susan and a trio of other abnormal creatures to save the day.

The voice work is tops all around.

Witherspoon is adorable, Will Arnett is very funny as a Black Lagoon- like creature, Stephen Colbert is perfectly glib as the clueless commander in chief and, best of all, Seth Rogen is a riot as B.O.B. the blob. The characters and their offbeat interactions make the movie, with the exchanges between B.O.B. and Arnett’s “Missing Link” especially funny.

The action sequences are on par with the best live-action summer blockbusters, and maybe even better. The most exhilarating set piece, a standoff on the Golden Gate Bridge, is spectacular and has a nice twist—the epic battle is between a giant

robot and a fuzzy, equally enormous, googly-eyed bug.

Here’s yet another great 2009 3-D movie, with more on the way, leading up to James Cameron’s reportedly groundbreaking Avatar at year’s end. Former Maui resident and Hawaii 5-O actor Wow, she’s hot. And the tall blonde’s not bad either.

THIS WEEK’S PICKS Slam it down Thursday (Mar. 26), 10pm, Casanova, Makawao

FRIDAY, MARCH 27TH 9:30 PM $20

Poetry gets bad press despite its potential for political, social and even personal commentary. Granted, it often sucks. Then again, it’s very subjective. After all, who’s to say that T.S. Eliot’s “The Wasteland” or “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” should be canon? I mean, besides scholars who’ve devoted their lives to studying the poems’ every syllable? (“Prufrock” is actually a favorite of mine.) The one rule all poets need to heed is the avoidance of cliché (you’d think more would follow this one). The last time I checked out MauiSLAM at Casanova I was pretty surprised by the originality, as well as performers’ ability to not take themselves too seriously as they recited their compositions on stage in three minutes or less. They perform for a $100 prize; local celebrities will serve as judges. Plus, there’s beer. This month’s installment will be a scrimmage between Maui and Oahu poets, who will compete for a spot in this year’s national SLAM competition. HawaiiSLAM founder Kealoha (pictured) is slated to perform, along with other noted wordsmiths. $5.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Friday (Mar. 27), 7pm, Akaku Community Television, 333 Dairy Rd., Kahului Mass media are what prop up modern society’s concept of itself, which is scary when one looks at what’s out there. Then again, the media model that currently embraces “reality” shows and news outlets’ over-dependence on the Associated Press wire is rapidly crumbling. Means of production, when it comes to information, are now in the hands of the masses (blogs, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube). Communication, as revered media scholar James Carey put it, is culture. Example: before the telegraph, communication over long distances was inseparable from transportation (trains and boats brought passengers, goods and news). Consider, in light of this, the impact of having universal access to virtually all information as well as the capacity disseminate one’s own message. Mindboggling.

So how does one make media that matters? Maui Time publisher Tommy Russo and editor Jacob Shafer will discuss this topic as part of a panel that will also feature Akaku CEO Jay April. The three recently attended the Media Justice Conference on Oahu. All have particularly compelling insights on the direction of media, which they will discuss at length at this media salon. Free.

BY KATE BRADSHAW

Medium rare Saturday (Mar. 28), 7pm, Café Marc Aurel, Wailuku The meaning of “media” is tricky. As the plural of medium, it essentially means things that go between. Granted, in the parlance of our times we refer to mass media as an overarching entity, and say things like “the corporate media is a joke” rather than “the corporate media are a joke.” Yet just like a canvas or a violin, a given news outlet—fictional news purveyor FOX News, for example—is a single medium by which an individual or group can express ideas. An art opening that takes place at Café Marc Aurel this Saturday embraces a third connotation of word medium: that of the spiritual medium, one who supposedly serves as a messenger between dead and living.

The show features the work of Maui artists who have collaborated across media (or mediums, I suppose) in order to convey a host of artistic visions unified under a common theme: deriving the unseen transcendent from the visible mundane. The exhibit will feature the work of artists Kati Gomez, Nate Brown, James Coles, Nate Robertson and Zachariah Royalty. Free.

Chicks rule Friday (Mar. 27), 10pm, Hard Rock Café, Lahaina

In the heart of Olde Makawao Town

A pick previewing a show like Friday’s Wahines that Rock, which features three lady-centric musical acts, would be a great opportunity for the author to launch off on a feminist diatribe, no? Despite this, the author feels that the preceding Picks have eaten up her allotted rant ration for this week, so she will instead focus on the merit of the performers themselves. After all, why make gender the focus when in reality it should be the ass-kickingness of Paula Fuga, The Girlas and Erin Smith that draw you to this show. The diversity of musical styles gives the event a more festival-like feel. Fuga’s sound, with its island feel and deeply gospel-influenced vocals, has helped earn her national recognition. Oahu-based The Girlas, comprised of three musicians from diverse musical backgrounds, blend bluegrass, slack key, indie and torch/jazz.

Then, of course, there’s Erin Smith, who, as we all know, totally wails. So, there you have it: people, who happen to be wahines, who also rock. Proceeds benefit Musicians on Call. Tickets are available at Request, Hard Rock and West Side Vibes. $20.

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

Some people make excuses to step outside of their comfort zones, or in some cases express their true selves; they drink too much, they deprive themselves of sleep, they go temporarily “insane.” I wish you didn’t need that kind of excuse, but you might, still. You know where you want to go. If you don’t quite have the guts to go there without getting shit-faced, so be it. It’s better that you end up there, no matter the route you take. Once you’ve made it, you’ll find the liquid courage less and less necessary to make return trips. One day you’ll be able to do it without the excuse of being “out of control.” That day is closer than you think, but it’s not today. You might still need a little help. If I were you, I’d take it.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it sure can help clear the path to it. Similarly, poverty doesn’t forbid serenity, but it does present obstacles. Re-evaluating the relationship between your economic and emotional status is this week’s challenge. Don’t make the mistake of embracing the delusion that they aren’t related, because of course they are. However, they aren’t rigidly connected. Being poor doesn’t mean you have to be miserable—it just makes it somewhat more likely. Of course you’re perfectly capable of experiencing a joyful existence regardless of your finances—but the first step to doing so is to see both (and their impact on each other) as clearly as you can.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) What fuels conspiracy theorists is that even though many or most of their theories are probably wrong, things do get hidden or lied about. Granted, they’re not usually the things they think are being covered up, but they’re onto something. So are you. Your suspicions aren’t unfounded, but they’re also way off base. I don’t want you to start doubting your gut—but brutally questioning it may be the order of the week. You need to get to the bottom of why you feel the way you do, and your initial theories are embarrassingly wrong. The right ones are out there, though. Keep at it until you’ve found them.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

45,000 readers

can’t be wrong

A banana is an example of genius design. Attractively packaged in an appealingly bright, biodegradable wrapper, it’s hard not to like or appreciate. If a human had invented the banana, she would win every design award there is. Of course nature has always been a brilliant designer, and in fact most good design is to some extent based on or inspired by something found out in the natural world. Your own designs, whether actual, emotional, or philosophical, are way overworked. You’re trying to reinvent the wheel, and it’s not working out too well. Think about a banana. Keep things simple. Pare them down to something you can peel, eat, and throw away without a second thought.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

350 Available at more than 200 locations MAUI’S ONLY LOCALLY OWNED INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER www.mauitime.com

If you can’t appreciate grey gloomy days in their own right, at least acknowledge how they make gorgeous, sunny days all that much sweeter. If every day was perfect, you’d stop noticing them altogether, and all that sunshine would bring you no pleasure. This week, pay special attention to the contrasts in your life—and especially to the unpleasant ones. Be grateful for, not resentful of, them. They’re what’s making your life as good as it is, not dragging it down, as you naïvely believe. Light’s nothing without a good shadow. This week, love the shadow as much as you love the light.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) For some people, who struggle with feelings of worthlessness or inconsequentiality, just figuring out that they matter is enough. You, however, already know you matter. You know your actions have consequences that ripple out in all directions. You need to hold yourself to a higher standard. It’s that old saw about responsibility coming with power. Everything you do will have both negative and positive consequences—making sure that the bulk of those ripples add to the sum total of joy and satisfaction of the people around you, though, is very, very important to your long-term happiness. Make sure it adds up that way—and if it doesn’t, make some changes so it will.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) You’re allowed to take breaks, you know. If you don’t, you’ll probably burn out. I know you pride yourself on your consistency and reliability, but the deeper implications of those qualities require that you prepare yourself for the long haul—this usually involves a periodic vacation or two, to keep you recharged and raring to go. If you haven’t taken one in a while, consider doing so this week, or in the next couple.

No one will be too vexed by your absence, and everyone will appreciate the new vim and vigor you bring to the scene when you get back.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) It’s always sad when something good ends. But clinging to it isn’t the answer. Not only would keeping it around past its time preclude anything new from coming into your life (every ending is a beginning, remember), but it would also probably stop being good. Don’t hang onto something until it starts to suck.

It’s much better to let it go while you still love it, and while it can gracefully take its leave, to be remembered fondly (if a little sadly). That bittersweet feeling is one of the best. Clinging, however, will just leave you with bitter. As a feeling, that one’s not quite so good.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Go ahead and bury your treasure if you feel like you need to do so to keep it safe. But hell, make a map. It’d be an awful shame if no one ever found that trove of booty and wealth. Make the map confusing, coded, and obscure if you must, but make the damn map. There’s someone out there who’s determined and dogged enough to figure the thing out and track down where you’ve hidden the goods. Let’s face it, you want that shit to be found—just not by simply anyone. So hide it, but not so deeply that even you might have trouble digging it up again.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Because of who you are, you may find yourself mediating between people with seriously conflicting viewpoints. Your first instinct may be to try to find some kind of common ground, and get them to appreciate their similarities, but it’ll never work. That’s the melting pot scenario—and what you get out of a melting pot is an unappealingly monotone sludge. You need to focus a spotlight on people’s differences, not obscure them. Hiding or softening them is just about the worst thing you could do right now— because then they’d never learn to appreciate, and, eventually, celebrate them.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Much of life is about figuring out when to let go of something, and when to hang onto (or even fight for) it. Many of our worst moments arise from guessing incorrectly about which to do when. This time, though, you know. Your gut knows. Don’t talk yourself into doing something different than what your instincts advise. Ignore the busy, chattering part of your brain, if necessary. If you find yourself rehearsing extensive rationalizations for your actions, you’re on the wrong track. The “right” answer here is short, simple, and sharp. Being harsh doesn’t make it wrong.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) You’ll encounter bullies throughout your life. Just like those found in the schoolyard, most of them are unaccustomed to people sticking up to them. That’s why, of course, you should. Watch out, though. Adult bullies are much harder to thwart than when the kid variety—they’ve had more practice, and use more complex and insidious strategies. However, at heart they’re still cowards, and won’t put up much of a fight once they know they’re outmatched. Let me be explicit: you’re eminently capable of out-thinking any bully you’re apt to encounter in the coming weeks. Don’t doubt yourself—be resourceful, persistence, and determined.
