LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR OWNING RESPONSIBILITY
EARN NOTICE
This seems like a very easy problem to solve [“Dangerous breed,” April 2]. Don’t ban any breeds. Rather, hold owners responsible for the aggressive actions of their dogs as if the owner perpetrated the action him/herself. Prosecute owners for first-degree assault with a deadly weapon if the dog attacks somebody. Prosecute the owner for murder if the dog kills a child. My guess is that pit bull ownership would plummet if this type of responsibility law was passed, and virtually all of the remaining pit bulls would be well behaved.
Re the Eh Brah! from the fed up waitress: I don’t get tips at my job. For what we pay nowadays for food and drinks, I think the restaurant can chip in a few more dollars for the people making the money and doing the upfront work. A tip is not a right—it should be earned. There is too much of a sense of entitlement. Tip jars at gas stations? Come on.
KulaMon, submitted online at mauitime.com
KALANI CAVED J. Kalani English was absent from the civil union vote [“Courage and cowardice,” April 2]? For a guy who was courageous about the Iraq war early on, he caved on this one. For him not to support this is hypocritical and shameful. Spike, submitted online at mauitime.com
MYTH BUSTER Your column seems to imply I’m a knee-jerk Democrat and just because Rep. DeLauro is a Democrat I defended her [Coconut Wireless, April 2]. I received probably 20 emails about HR875, so I researched the issue with the congressional staff to be informed and give back an answer. In this age of Internet hysteria and urban myths there are a lot of things flying around that need a truth check. One way to check on a federal legislator is to go to the League of Conservation Voters Web site and see how they are doing. They are non-partisan and Rep. DeLauro checks out with a LCV rating of 92 percent. That’s pretty darn good. Lance Holter, Paia
BUS FUSS So the tourists can’t ride the bus with their bags—boo hoo [Coconut Wireless, April 2]. They get every other part of this island set aside especially for them. Can’t we have the friggin’ bus, or does that also have to be overrun with sunburned people who think we’re all here to do nothing but serve them drinks and tell them where Snorkel Bob’s is located?
Mr. Clear View, submitted online at mauitime.com
TIP TIPS I am not a waiter; tried it once and I sucked at it. I do, however, eat at local establishments regularly and here is one dude’s rule of thumb for tipping: 15 percent for simply bringing me my food; 20 percent for bringing me my food with a good attitude; 25-30 percent for bringing me my food with a great attitude. And here’s another rule of thumb for all you lame tippers out there: Whatever percentage you are working off of, if you really want to be nice to someone who is busting their ass in the food service industry, round up when you tip. For me, if a 20 percent tip comes out to be $13, why not leave $15? A 10 and a five is so much nicer that a 10 and three singles, you know what I mean? It’s two bucks to you but to them it is much more. If they are a decent server at all, they will remember you next time around. You are your servers’ economic stimulus package—treat them appropriately. Marilyn Monroe Manson, submitted online at mauitime.com

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD EYE WITNESS Canadian filmmaker Rob Spence said recently that he would install a prosthetic eye with a camera and wireless transmitter (of the size now used for colonoscopies) into the socket from which one of his eyes had been removed as the result of a childhood accident. He hopes to control the prosthetic eye in the same way that his muscles control his good eye, to record what his eyes see, and his first project will be a documentary on people’s attitudes about privacy in an “Orwellian society.” “[T]he best way to make a connection [with an interviewee] is through eye contact,” he said. “When you bring in a camera, people change.”
POLITICAL ENDS Artist Beth Grossman created her wall exhibit, “Seats of Power,” to encourage citizens to greater activism in local affairs around Brisbane, Calif. (just south of San Francisco Bay). The “Seats” are upholstered cushions individually tailored with the buttprints of each of the 10 city council members, who allowed Grossman to photograph them from behind, clothed, through a sheet of Plexiglas pressed against their posteriors to simulate being seated. All 10 co-operated, including Mayor Sepi Richardson, who said she had been considering her “legacy” lately, “but I never thought it would be my butt.”
THE HOMELAND IS SECURE The U.S. Transportation Security Administration ruled in January that a post-9/11 federal maritime law, which requires comprehensive background credentials for mariners holding U.S. Coast Guard authorization on U.S. waters, applies even to the two “mule skinners” who work, in tourist season, dressed in colonial costumes

at the Hugh Moore Historical Park in Easton, Pa. The park’s lone mule-pulled boat is operated in a 2-mile-long canal that is near nothing of strategic significance, said the park director.
PET PEEVE Police were called to the Aliso (Calif.) Town Center on March 15 after a woman telephoned 911 to report being attacked near the center’s fountain by another woman, who had flung her dog’s feces at her and her infant. The flinger was said to be upset about complaints from passersby about the enema she was giving her dog in public.
THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON BOOZE (1) A 19-year-old University of Colorado student required emergency assistance in March after spending all evening badgering fellow partygoers to hit him in the face. Finally, at 2am, someone complied, resulting in a broken nose and massive bleeding. (2) A National City Bank in downtown Pittsburgh was broken into on March 7, inadvertently, when an intoxicated man accidentally tripped and crashed through the front window (narrowly avoiding decapitation). (3) According to sheriff’s reports, a man reported to Huntsville Hospital in Alabama on Feb. 18 after having passed out drunk with an ex-girlfriend and waking up with a sewing needle in his urethra.
UNDIGNIFIED DEATHS (1) A motorist survived a crash on Feb. 4 near Los Banos, Calif., though his car fell down a 200-foot cliff. After he climbed back to the highway and sought help, he was accidentally hit and killed by another driver. (2) A 60-year-old man, celebrating his retirement from a transportation company in Ritto, Japan, in December, was killed when three co-workers tossed him playfully into the air and then apparently miscommunicated as to who would catch him.

THE WEEK
If you secretly long to be the next Spielberg but can’t be bothered to get a camera, cast and direct actors or even leave the comfort of your couch, here’s a solution: a handful of clips culled from Bollywood-style films, awaiting only your clever subtitles. Put words in the mouths of two lovers sharing a moment in a meadow or a man having a close encounter with a demigod, then send your creation to a few friends and/or big-shot Hollywood producers. We can’t promise your celluloid dreams will come true overnight, but it’s a fine way to waste a little time. Plus, with all the post-Oscar, pre-summer crap currently clogging the multiplex, your film almost certainly won’t be the worst thing out there. -JS

ROBREPORT
BY ROB PARSONS ROBPARSONS@EARTHLINK.NET
Don’t worry, be happy Apathy and pessimism won’t save us “In your life expect some trouble/ But when you worry you make it double/ Don’t worry, be happy....” –Bobby McFerrin ’ve been worrying lately. I know it doesn’t serve my best interests, or anyone else’s, to give in to the swirling, sucking eddy of gloom about the economic downturn, the trashing of the environment and the plunder of the planet’s natural resources. Yet it’s as though I’m hearing a Doomsday clock ticking in my ear that I cannot ignore. I’m reminded of Tock, the watchdog in Norton Juster’s The Phantom Tollbooth, who helps get Milo back on course after he found himself waylaid in the Doldrums by not thinking. I can understand the part about not thinking, that ignorance is bliss. Thoughts, after all, are a force to be reckoned with. I’ve learned that time spent in the self-indulgence of fear, worry or cynicism is time wasted—unless it serves to impel me to get out of my own rut, to change my behaviors and state of mind. I’ve learned that my voice matters, that my efforts matter. I believe in the ripple effect. When others join in and toss a pebble in the same pond, mere ripples may become waves of change. I’ve witnessed the absolute thrill of individuals and grassroots organizations joining hands to bring about positive change, as explicated in Paul Hawken’s uplifting book Blessed Unrest. I understand the divine timing of the universe, wherein everything is unfolding and evolving exactly as it should. But something deep within me wants to cry out to alert those who are sleepwalking through the 21st century, oblivious to the precipice upon which we stand. Sumatran orangutan and coral polyps, spotted owl and Chinese panda, giant Bluefin tuna and the Hawaiian monk seal—all are in danger of extinction. Meanwhile, the rise of carbon dioxide levels and those of other greenhouse gases has led to ocean acidification, violently unpredictable planetary weather and, recently, the collapse of the Wilkins Ice Shelf in Antarctica. That occurrence will allow newly formed icebergs to

move freely into the open ocean, and is the seventh Antarctic ice shelf in that area to retreat or collapse in recent years. We have fouled our nest to the extent that it has become unhealthy not only for us, but for millions of other species. And yet we don’t seem motivated enough to radically change our arrogant consumptive and procreative ways. Like Spike Lee’s character at the end of his 1988 film School Daze, I want to shout, “Wake up, everybody!” attended two events last weekend that gave me cause for reflection. The More Fish in the Sea gathering at Maui Community College was an epic ecofair, with 30 informational booths plus hula, music, speakers sharing traditional cultural and environmental values and ocean-themed movies after dark. The overriding theme was that we all must work together to protect and restore the vitality of our ocean eco-system and the many creatures it sustains. I learned that proposed legislation for banning the unlimited collection of aquarium fish failed for the second straight year, when Rep. Ken Ito refused to hear the bill in his Water, Land & Ocean Resources Committee. I was reminded of how many years it took to pass even a partial gill net ban, and wondered how many turtles, monk seals and non-target species were killed as by-catch in the interim. I winced when I heard that funding for the Natural Area Reserve System has gotten the axe, in another shortsighted budgetbalancing effort, which could also cost neighbor islands their fair share of transient accommodations tax revenue. While many families showed up, on a last outing or fling before the end of spring break, there was a notable absence of decision-makers—not the mayor or a single county councilmember or state legislator was to be found. In large part, this was an expanded example of the island’s ecoheroes preaching to the choir. Nevertheless, it was a significant and impressive first step in addressing these vital concerns. On Sunday, I flew to Kona then traveled the coral-and-lava grafittied highway up to Kawaihae to present information on open ocean aquaculture at a meeting with at least 50 community members in attendance. The audience listened to pro and con sides of raising huge amounts of ahi in deepwater fish cages, and heard from an existing fish farm, Kona Blue.

“I always wake up at the crack of ice.” - Joe E. Lewis Something must be done, they said, to compensate for how we have over-fished the majority of the fish species in the ocean. While this may be true, I replied, that shouldn’t give carte blanche for launching immense operations with untested technology. The question-and-answer period was illuminating, and a bit edgy. A member of the Kanaka Council asked why Hawaiian cultural concerns weren’t discussed, what benefit, if any, there was to island residents, what part of lease payment goes to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and why we should be asked to feed the rest of the world and not ourselves. His questions went unanswered when the facilitator simply moved on to the next questioner. Another citizen said it’s necessary to examine the whole system, including the increasing human population (as the main component in declining fish populations). A former UH-Sea Grant aquaculture advocate had stated that China is by far the largest aquaculture producer in the world. Make no mistake, he said, about who will be controlling the world’s economy and resources in the coming years. Finally, a questioner asked, “What is the impact of doing nothing?” Implicit in his query was that trying to stop the project on environmental or cultural grounds wouldn’t put sashimi on anybody’s plate. But to what degree can we continue to expect man-made contraptions to offset the damage our species has wrought? Yes, something must be done—and soon. But continual dependence on scientific advances and venture capital gambles won’t save us from ourselves if we don’t abide by the laws of the natural world. was encouraged to see that world leaders, assembled in London for the G20 Climate Change Summit, met with Prince Charles to hear his call for emergency action to halt the rampant

destruction of the world’s rainforests and the resultant release of carbon dioxide. Prince Charles founded the Prince’s Rainforest Project a few years ago, strategizing along with dozens of eco-organizations who have fought an uphill battle against widespread deforestation in the Amazon, Africa, Malaysia and Indonesia. But are world leaders listening? Certainly the media gave more coverage to Michelle Obama’s latest outfit than the Prince’s proclamation. Corporate greed, fueled by World Trade Organization policies, have steamrolled local cultures and natural resources under the guise of offering economic opportunities. On the home front, letters to The Maui News regarding a proposed ban on bigbox stores are revealing more shortsighted thinking. One writer calls it unAmerican to limit competition. Never mind that the corporatization of Maui means a continuing loss of our identity and sense of place, so Dairy Road-type urbanscapes look like Anywhere, U.S.A. with a few palm trees added. Ignore that dollars spent on items at these hulking chain stores leave the island to fatten the coffers of the wealthiest companies and their CEOs. Forget that small stores that have survived on Maui for generations have fallen victims to cheap prices. If inexpensive consumption of consumer goods is our bottom line, the outlook for our island paradise isn’t very sunny. It’s time to treat the “affluenza” epidemic with some healthy doses of local, sustainability tonic. Though bitter to swallow, it will require meaningful shifts in our values and behavior. Now is the time for citizens to be fully awake and engaged to ensure that all the emphasis on economic stimulus doesn’t lead to starvation of social and environmental justice efforts. This is the kuleana that we all share—to malama the land, the sea and one another. MTW

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1 According to a press release that landed in my inbox today, state lawmakers are pushing to get the Hawaii Supreme Court to reconsider the decision that put the Alakai out of commission and on a course for Alabama. Rather than calling this what it is—a desperate attempt to remove egg from face—the Senate is claiming the challenge is being issued because of fears the Supreme Court’s ruling “could significantly limit the legislature’s ability to enact laws or to address specific public policy challenges as they arise.” Please. Act 2 was not passed because of a “public policy challenge,” it was passed to ram through a controversial project before the required and needed environmental studies had been completed. If the legislature is so worried about setting a bad precedent, maybe they should have thought of that before they, well, set a bad precedent.

THURSDAY, APRIL 2 We scolded West Maui Rep. Angus McKelvey for his “no” vote on the civil union bill, but we’ll give credit where it’s due: he’s on the right side of the fight to keep public access TV alive and well on Maui. There are two bills—HB984 and SB1680—currently being considered on Oahu that could have a drastic impact on the future of Akaku and other community stations. Both bills are being sold as a way to improve broadband access. But one of the devils hidden in the details is a provision that could slash funding for local public access, essentially allowing cable giant Time Warner to stop paying the “rent” it owes for use

of the public’s airwaves. But some, including Rep. McKelvey, are fighting to place language in the bills that protects community stations. You can follow the bills at capitol.hawaii.gov and get more info and sign an online petition at akaku.org.
FRIDAY, APRIL 3 Here’s something I’ve never understood: are cigarette tax hikes an attempt to punish smokers or help them? I ask after reading an AP item in today’s Maui News about how the tax on a pack of cigarettes in Hawaii is set to go up by more than $1 because of combined state and federal increases. Deborah Zysman, director of the Coalition for a Tobacco-Free Hawaii is quoted as saying the extra cost will mean “fewer kids [will] start to smoke, and…current adult smokers [will] attempt to quit.” At the same time, whenever these tax bumps occur you hear how it’s a good way to generate revenue (and smokers make an easy target, especially ‘cause they can’t run very fast.) But here’s the paradox: If the goal is to entice people to quit smoking or not take up the habit at all, eventually the tax destroys itself and the revenue stream dries up. Whatever the muddled impetus behind the tax, it has forced smokers to band together, and I don’t just mean on those crowded outdoor patios where they all have to huddle like nicotine-addicted refugees. Apparently there is an advocacy organization called Hawaii Smokers Alliance (hawaiismokersalliance.com), whose stated goal is “a complete removal of…bigoted, unconstitutional and unscientifically based prohibition laws.” Even as a non-smoker who doesn’t enjoy inhaling other people’s noxious vapors, I have sympathy. In a few short decades smokers went from the epitome of cool to social pariahs. It’s enough to make you reach for an unfiltered Camel.
SATURDAY, APRIL 4 Whether you think genetically modified crops are a triumph of modern innovation or an example of science gone horribly wrong, it’s tough not to see the sad symbolism that would accompany GMO taro. Some have proposed “improving” the sacred, staple Native Hawaiian crop as a way to protect it against bugs and disease. Others have said: not so fast. As reported in today’s Maui News, Councilmember Bill Medeiros introduced a bill that would ban modified taro in Maui County, and Native Hawaiian advocates and environmentalists have voiced their support. We’ve opposed Medeiros before (like, during the election) and we surely will again, but we’re with him on this one.

Granted, the move came not as a result of popular will but a ruling by the state Supreme Court that overturned a gay marriage ban. (Further proof that when it comes to protecting minority rights, you can’t rely on majority rule.) The Court summed up the argument nicely: “We are firmly convinced the exclusion of gay and lesbian people from the institution of civil marriage does not substantially further any important governmental objective.” Here’s hoping Hawaii lawmakers take note, and more importantly sprout some spines… In other news: So yes, North Korea did indeed conduct its much-ballyhooed missile/satellite/whateverthehellitwas launch. And no, Hawaii was not struck by debris despite the numerous e-mails, text messages and anxious phone calls that floated around. Clearly the launch wasn’t a good thing. But just as clearly, this is a complicated, delicate situation, one that calls for nuance and a coordinated, carefully considered international response. So of course the blathering heads on the right are already calling the Obama Administration a bunch of weak-kneed appeasers for, I dunno, failing to go on TV and burn an effigy of Kim Jong Il under a banner that says “Now You’re in the Access of the Really Evil” while singing “God Bless America.” You know, Bush-style diplomacy.
MONDAY, APRIL 6 Recently, an acquaintance of mine offered an interesting drunken theory (as opposed to the much more common uninteresting drunken theory): the fortunes of Maui’s economy will be inextricably linked this year with those of local boy and
pro ballplayer Shane Victorino. I think he meant it in a hopeful way, since Victorino’s star is rising—last season he got a Gold Glove, a World Series ring and a new contract. But if yesterday’s Opening Day output was any indication, we’re in for a tough ’09: the Phillies lost to Atlanta 4-1 and Shane went 0-3 with a strikeout. Ah well, the beauty of baseball—like life— is that there’s always another game.
TUESDAY, APRIL 7 More Superferry news (prepare to shake your head in exasperated resignation): Remember all those crazy conspiracy nuts who said there was a clandestine military motive behind the whole operation? And remember how officials scoffed at the notion, most recently Superferry CEO Tom Fargo who said the Alakai’s nice shiny paint job was proof it was intended to be a means of inter-island transport and nothing more? Well according to a report in today’s Honolulu Advertiser, in November the Defense Department awarded a contract to build high-speed military transport ships to Austral USA, the company behind...the Superferry! The report goes on to point out that “Superferry’s two catamarans are available for military lease” now that the Supreme Court has shut them down. Fargo offered a telling “no comment.” Which brings us to this juicy nugget from the PressRegister of Mobile, Alabama, new home of the Alakai: “Industry analyst Tim Colton said the military is a natural fit for the ferries, now adorned with colorful swimming manta rays. ‘Any day now, they’ll be painted gray,’ Colton said.” (Hey, turns out the military has paintbrushes after all, Tom!) Man, sometimes it sucks to be right. MTW

f you dance naked for an audience in a bar or club you’re protected by the First Amendment. But in Maui County, you don’t have the right to dance in a liquorselling establishment even when fully clothed—unless you’re in an area specifically designated for dancing, and only dancing. That paradox was spelled out recently by Wailuku attorney Lance Collins, addressing a handful of reporters outside Judge Joseph Cardoza’s courtroom on March 27. Moments earlier, Judge Cardoza had denied Maui Dance Advocates’ (MDA) petition for summary judgment in their lawsuit against the county, a suit that asks the Liquor Control Commission to change its rules on dancing, or at least to clearly define what “dancing” means. This was just the latest turn in MDA’s two-and-a-half year crusade against the LC’s social dancing policy.
movement the LC thinks constitutes dancing so he could avoid being in violation. “I’m a dancer, and I think it’s my Constitutional right to dance,” Anand says plainly. He says dancing is an avenue for social interaction he otherwise wouldn’t have. The LC responded to his question in a letter stating that the commission doesn’t know how to define dancing, but that according to Webster’s, to dance is “to move the body, especially the feet, in rhythm, ordinarily to music.” When asked to expand on that definition, LC Commissioner Frank Silva (who we were told was unavailable to comment for this story) offered up the familiar refrain: “I know it when I see it.” Beyond that, it’s up to individual LC inspectors to decide what’s dancing and what’s not when they’re patrolling bars, clubs and restaurants in search of code violations. It’s not the dancer who gets penalized for grooving in a no-groove zone. It’s the venue, which is why, if your toetapping gets a little overzealous when watching a band as you wait to order a beer, the staff will politely ask you to stop. Otherwise, the liquor-selling establishment in question could get slapped with a fine. The rule may stem from concern for the safety of bar staff and patrons, but Collins says it’s vague and overbroad. It’s easy to see why the commission would want to prevent the flailing limbs of enthused bar patrons from socking a waitress who’s carrying a tray of drinks across the room. But mildly swaying to a rhythm? MDA co-founder Anthony Simmons says he’s felt the brunt of the LC’s restrictions on dancing quite frequently. As manager of a band that generates dance-conducive music he has had to deal with gigging at venues where no one was allowed to dance. He says he’s even seen people get asked to stop “keeping rhythm”—tapping toes, swaying hips and the like—in “consumption areas.” “It’s not that I have a fight with the LC,” Simmons says. “I believe regulations are good, but you can’t regulate how I move.”
S
It all started in October 2006 when MDA president Ramoda Anand, who is bound to a wheelchair by cerebral palsy, questioned the LC on §08-101-23, which states that “[a]ny dancing or entertainment provided shall be in areas designated and approved by the director,” and goes on to describe the parameters of these licensed areas. Since Anand, an avid practitioner of the dance form 5 Rhythms, cannot safely dance on a crowded dance floor, he wanted to know what degree of rhythmic
immons offers the following hypothetical example: what if a guy who walks with a swagger unwittingly “dances into a bar”? Is that dancing? Maybe. Plus, you have bar patrons who are moved by a musical performance, but don’t want to be put on the spot. “In reality,” Simmons says, “most people are afraid to dance. And to force them to be on display on the dance floor?” Anand and Simmons are longtime friends and Simmons also serves as Anand’s caretaker. They say they formed MDA because they felt that the LC responded inadequately to their request and was essentially brushing them off. That’s when they stepped up their game.
In 2007 they got 86 signatures on a petition asking the LC to change its dancing rules, a request the LC denied. Collins, sympathetic to the cause, offered to represent Anand and Simmons pro bono in early 2008. “I had a concern that the Liquor Commission was not dealing with Maui Dance Advocates’ requests seriously or attentively,” Collins wrote in an email. “The attitude felt very dismissive and paternalistic and that was unfortunate in my mind.” They first attempted to appeal the LC’s decision, but Judge Cardoza threw the case out on the grounds that he didn’t have jurisdiction to rule on an appeal of an LC decision.
“[These rules give] unelected, unappointed liquor inspectors standardless discretion to determine what expression is permitted and not permitted.” -Attorney Lance Collins They petitioned the LC for a declaratory order, which the LC denied, so they decided to sue the county directly. Collins filed for summary judgment, and the county cross-filed for summary judgment. The First Amendment factored heavily into Collins’ argument, but the connection wasn’t as clear-cut as it seems. While it’s commonly believed that the First Amendment provides for freedom of expression, the amendment’s wording does not include “expression.” The question, which the courts have yet to directly answer, is whether social dancing can fall under the umbrella of “speech” or “assembly.” Anand and Simmons think so. “I think everybody has the right to move moderately,” Simmons says. “If I hear the rhythm I should be able to take it in with my whole body. Not just my ears, but my entire body.” The Supreme Court has dealt indirectly with social dancing as a First Amendment issue on a few occasions, but has never recognized it as protected speech or association. Among the cases First Deputy Corporation Counsel Jane Lovell, representing the county, cited in her argument was Dallas v. Stanglin, a case decided in 1989 that

“The danger of prohibiting something in a vague or overbroad way,” Collins says, “is that it gives unelected, unappointed liquor inspectors standardless discretion to determine what expression is permitted and not permitted. It short-circuits the legislative and judicial functions of government and creates the appearance of arbitrary or capricious government acts.” The threat of being in violation of a rule that has undefined boundaries, he says, has a chilling effect on expression. But he didn’t get to argue that point. Cardoza ruled in favor of the county in a matter of minutes at the March 27 hearing, concluding that there is “no constitutional right to engage in recreational

involved a city ordinance restricting the age of dance hall attendees in order to protect minors. “It is possible to find some kernel of expression in every activity a person undertakes—for example, walking down the street or meeting one’s friends at a shopping mall—but such a kernel is not sufficient to bring the activity within the protection of the First Amendment,” the decision for that case reads. “Basically, there is no First Amendment protection for recreational activities,” Lovell says. Dancing to music at a bar, she says, is like skateboarding or any other activity subject to safety regulations.
If a dance conveys some kind of meaning—like a hula performed in protest— then the First Amendment would factor in, she says. Collins says that Dallas v. Stanglin does not apply, and that the statements within the decision that deny First Amendment protection to recreational dancing are dicta, which are non-binding. Lovell disagrees and says that the “kernel of expression” argument is the crux of the decision. Collins cites Tinker v. Des Moines School District, a 1969 case involving students who wore black arm bands to show solidarity with the anti-war movement. “Although the U.S. Supreme Court has not recognized a Constitutional right to dance, the Court has consistently recognized that ‘nonverbal conduct,’ also known as symbolic expression, is protected by the First Amendment,” Collins wrote in a memorandum accompanying his request for summary judgment. The challenge, of course, is convincing the Court that social dancing has a value beyond that of individual enjoyment, that it conveys a message of community, of concurrence, of comfort, even if the importance of such messages is lost on those who create and interpret laws.
T
he Supreme Court’s overbreadth doctrine also factored into Collins’ argument. The doctrine aims to identify laws that restrict unprotected speech (fighting words, for example), but also stamp out speech that is protected.
dancing in a liquor-selling establishment.” He issued no opinion and declined further comment. It was obviously not what MDA and Collins were hoping for, they say, but it wasn’t a surprise. Anand says it’s “absurd” that the right to social dancing isn’t protected. He says protecting that right “benefits the community as a whole.” MDA intends to appeal, and Anand says he is “looking forward to the next chapter.”
F
or Maui Dance Advocates and others who care about this issue, it goes beyond a brief, ambiguous rule in the LC’s books. Underlying this fight is a belief that without public vigilance, governments can make policies that erode the liberties we take for granted. “I want people to think about their freedom,” says Simmons. For example, another LC rule bans the use of obscenity by performers in liquorselling establishments, including foul language, which is clearly a violation of the First Amendment. Some time back, Simmons says he took the question “What is dancing?” to the governing body that supposedly has the ultimate say—the people. He asked numerous individuals in various settings to define dancing. Some gave definitions not unlike the one from Webster’s that the LC uses, while others offered abstract, spiritual or esoteric interpretations. The answer Simmons got most? “People said, ‘dancing is free.’” MTW

Wave the day Kihei eatery offers sweet deals in lean times imes are tough. Chances are you’re getting sick of hearing that, but at the same time are acutely aware of how true it is. It’s also a safe bet that your household belt-tightening has led to a decrease in the number of meals you eat at restaurants that don’t feature a drivethrough window. Establishments have obviously realized this as well, and the savvy ones are offering some pretty awesome deals to entice cash-strapped locals to venture—and eat—out. One of the better bangs for your buck onisland can be found at Big Wave Café
T
in Kihei. From 5-6:30pm, diners can get two entrees for the price of one. That’s a steal even at a greasy spoon joint, but when you factor in the quality of Big Wave’s fare you’re looking at one of those all-too-rare can’t-miss situations. Part of Executive Chef Raul Bermudez’s award-winning family of restaurants that also includes RB Black Angus Steakhouse and Kahana Sands on the West side, Big Wave has been in business for five years. General Manager Nick Poree says they recently tweaked their menu—not an outright overhaul, but there are a few new items for those who haven’t been in for a while, including the New York steak.

On our recent visit we began with the crab cakes and wok-fried California roll. The cakes come with avocado, black beans and a cilantro lime butter sauce, giving them an intriguing southof-the-border twist. But the roll is what really stood out. Places that don’t specialize in sushi but feature it on the menu often regard it as a throwaway item. Not so here. Stuffed with fresh ingredients, dipped in tempura and

lightly fried, the roll may be the best of any kind I’ve had on-island outside a Japanese/sushi restaurant. Our entrees proved no less eclectic—or delicious—than the pupus. The crabstuffed snapper with white wine butter sauce and capers may sound almost too rich. Instead, it packs a flavorful wallop but is remarkably light; even after clearing my plate I felt full but not weighted down. The vegetarian sampler—roasted sweet potatoes and marinated tofu with sautéed spinach, grilled veggies and sundried tomato pesto—and the bananacrusted chicken served with jasmine rice and a faintly spicy curry sauce also got high marks. But the most raved-about dish was probably the special, essentially a larger version of the tempura sushi appetiz-
er that featured ahi and spinach along with the crab meat. Again, considering Big Wave does so many other things, their mastery of the roll (a deceptively simple item that’s easy to misfire) is impressive. Though dessert was almost more than we could bear, we soldiered on for the good of humanity and (mostly) polished off a decadently rich, warm brownie topped with vanilla ice cream and some above-average crème brulée cleverly served in a pineapple round. In addition to its impressive 2 for 1, Poree says Big Wave will soon be launching even sweeter kama‘aina specials that may apply to take-out as well as dine-in. That’s welcome news, since, as we know all too well, times are tough. MTW

Next gig: Saturday, 7pm, Castle Theater, MACC, Kahului Web sites: benoit.com, benoitjazzworks.com Those long hours at the keys paid off: David went on to earn five Grammy nominations and become the man many consider one of the founders of contemporary (smooth) jazz. Phil, meanwhile, picked up his axe while a teenager in the early ’70s, inspired by the phenomenal proliferation of rock, blues-rock and beard rock that was unfolding at the time. The first song he learned was John Denver’s “Sunshine on my Shoulders.” Neither brother has to look far to find his musical roots. Their father Bob was “an avid jazz fan and guitarist,” Phil says. “We had jazz in our house since I was a little kid.” Phil played in various bands over the ensuing years, before coming to Maui in 1978. It was here that he met and, 21 years ago, married a Maui girl named Angela. He never put down the guitar, but it wasn’t until the early ’90s—when he began to study jazz guitar with Tom Conway—that something clicked. “The lightbulb went on,” Phil says, “and I just couldn’t get enough of it.” The first jazz tune he learned was “Black Orpheus,” a song from the 1959 Portuguese-language film of the same name (Orfeu Negro). He started gigging in 1997 and signed on as rhythm guitarist with legendary gypsy jazz outfit Gypsy Pacific along with Conway on lead guitar, Willy Wainwright on violin and Marcus Johnson on standup bass. It was around that time that Angela, one day, nonchalantly began
to sing along to a tune Phil was practicing on guitar. This could work, Phil thought. Since then, Benoit JazzWorks, with Johnson on bass, has been playing steady gigs at various venues on-island. They play Thursday through Saturday at Ma‘alaea Grill from 6:30-9pm, and at Moana Café in Paia from 6-9pm. Their sound is not one you’d expect to hear on Maui; you couldn’t find a more incongruous soundtrack for sucking down Heinekens and playing pool. It’s a warm, sophisticated and easygoing sound with sets that rely on originals, newer covers and old standards. Angela’s vocals are incredibly smooth and embrace the bittersweet sound that rests somewhere between high alto and low mezzo-soprano. Diana Krall’s “East of the Sun,” Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “Desafinado” and Mancini/Mercer’s “Days of Wine and Roses” are among the cover tunes in their repertoire. Phil says he composes his originals using common jazz chord progressions— he’s big on bossa nova—and building melodies around them. He and Angela collaborate on lyrics. Phil and David have also collaborated on some tunes, namely “Swingin’ Waikiki,” for which Phil penned the lyrics and David wrote the tune. The two will likely play it on Saturday, when Benoit JazzWorks will join David on stage for a song or two during David’s set. David is considered one of contemporary jazz’s most accomplished musicians, and most people have heard his music whether they know it or not, either through his Peanuts concertos, on The Weather Channel’s Weather on the Eights, or from one of his 23 solo recordings. The Benoit brothers have come a long way from their early California days. One thing hasn’t changed: their enduring passion for music. MTW

The Great Buck Howard
★★★★ ★★ Rated PG/87 min.
this week as part of MFF’s Candlelight Cinema series). Colin Hanks stars as a young man so desperate for a job, he agrees to be the assistant to the title character, a has-been “mentalist” (basically, a hypnotist) who is embarking on a nationwide comeback tour. John Malkovich plays Buck Howard and his movie star status and
slightly weird demeanor make him an ideal choice for the role; his “is-he-nutsor-is-he-a-genius?” approach to Howard is fascinating and, although it’s among Malkovich’s wilder characters, he makes the man real. Director Sean Mcginley’s movie, one of the most gentle American comedies in years, isn’t a total bullseye and will be too mild for those who crave raunchier laughs. But the uniquely easygoing approach to this unusual story is one of its charms. This droll, lightweight but always interesting comedy offers real insight into when an entertainer is “hot” and when they become a “has-been” and the delicate line between. As a comedy, the movie may be a bit undernourished but as a character drama, I was always hooked. Hanks is again ideally cast as a wide-eyed innocent and Emily Blunt is adorable as his supportive colleague and love interest. Tom Hanks (Colin’s father in real life) produced the film through his Playtone production company; the name is a nod to the Hanksdirected That Thing You Do!, an equally cheerful thematic cousin to this film. The
elder Hanks also has an amusing cameo, as do Steve Zahn, Adam Scott and a couple of “has-beens” in priceless bits that I won’t spoil. The humor is You often mild and some of the best jokes, like Howard’s bizarre handshake and his intense hatred for Jay Leno, are repeated too often. A nice touch is how we never learn how Buck’s tricks work—one in particular, involving a large group of sleeping adults, is memorably impressive and has a funny punchline. Even with the humor being relatively tame, witnessing the backstage drama and career resurgence of such an offbeat figure is always intriguing. Malkovich has played many outrageous oddballs, including an off-the-wall parody of himself in Being John Malkovich. What draws us to his gallery of weirdos and nutjobs is that he finds the truth and humanity in every char-
smelt it, you dealt it. acter, a wise choice that keeps the audience on his side; he may be hamming it up but he never looks down on his characters Using words like “pleasant” and “laid back” to describe a comedy can make a movie sound lazy or altogether lame. Actually, while not a gutbuster, this is a funny, good-natured movie that you can bring your grandma to see (and really, you should take Grandma out to a movie!).

One of the ways the rest of the planet can help Maui residents reduce their carbon footprint is to bring more awesome shows to the island. That way Mauians don’t have to fly to other islands—or worse, the Mainland—in order to catch a can’tmiss show. 2-Flip Productions is on to this. They’re bringing their 5th Annual Fil-Am Comedy Jam to Maui for the first time ever. The event, which showcases Filipino talent, will be hosted by Island 98.5 (Oahu) DJ Lanai. Philippines-born Rex Navarrete, who was the first Filipino-American to release a standup comedy album in the U.S., headlines. Award-winning comedian Joey Guila also performs, as does comedian Kaleo Pilanca. Kommon Ground holds down the musical side of things. You can find tickets at the Iao Theater box office, Da Kitchen restaurants islandwide, Urban City at Queen Kaahumanu Shopping Center or online at www.islandtix.com. Eighteen and over.
There are some places where you’d be hard-pressed to find boutiques featuring clothing and jewelry made by local designers. For example, when I moved to St. Petersburg, Fla. I had to resign myself to the fact that my only options for clothing were thrift stores or corporate mall outlets. Here on Maui, though, independent boutiques seem to proliferate. The epitome of this is Wings Hawaii, an all-female-run boutique situated next to Pauwela Cannery in Haiku. According to their Web site (wingshawaii.com), the shop started out as a UH Manoa art project, and has evolved into a full-scale operation without losing its youthful and independent flair. In celebration of their two-year anniversary, Wings is putting on a killer party next door at the cannery. The fun starts at 7pm, with a free cocktail hour featuring pupus from the new ultra-sustainable Market Fresh Bistro as well as a gift bag for the first 100 ladies in attendance. A fashion show featuring Wings’ latest follows to the sweet sounds of Paula Fuga. Later, Paula will play an encore set, rounding out the evening at about 10pm or so. The theme is “forest under the sea.” $35 presale/$45 day of sale.

So dancing is not a right. So liquor-selling establishments require a cordoned-off section of floor that is at least 100 square-feet in area. It could be worse, I suppose. At least you can legally dance at shows like Saturday’s birthday bash for Scott Johnson of Dogtowne Design and Pete Sebastian (formerly of LAWA), a reinstated tradition. With a lineup like the one they’ve got, substantial floor space will be paramount. Roots reggae band Teomon and the Kryptones as well as punkish rock outfit Erin Smith and the Throwdowns are on the bill. The expected pinnacle of the evening will be the debut of Fish Tank, Sebastian’s latest project, which got together at the beginning of this year. However nascent, the band’s got a killer lineup. Sebastian is on guitar and vocals. Kit Okazaki is on saxamophone. Kaipo Haleakala from Nuffsedd and the Kryptones is on bass. Drummer Pete Grand, who played in the original lineups of Crunch Pups and the Afrodisiacs also takes part. Sebastian says Saturday is the new band’s trial run, and that they’ve been having a blast collaborating on songs. This is a chance to get down while seeing what they’ve been up to. $10.
I’ve been told that one of the coolest things about Easter is the wealth of opportunities for watching what happens when you microwave Peeps. Here are some choice Easter weekend options where Peeps, jellybeans and other Easter icons abound. For starters, Upcountry folks can kick off Easter weekend with what’s being dubbed Hawaii’s biggest Easter egg hunt at Pukalani Field (Friday, 4pm). In South Maui, Maui Dreams Dive Co. is throwing a free underwater Easter egg hunt at Keawakapu Beach Park (the south end of South Kihei Road) on Saturday from 8-10am (call to reserve: 874-5332). Up until April 11, Maui Ocean Center is hosting its Easter Scavenger Egg Quest, which teaches keiki about eggs’ role in ocean life while they hunt for golden eggs. On the West side a noteworthy (and free) egg hunt will take place at Honokowai Beach Park on Saturday at 8am (call 276-8811 for more details). If the weather’s not so good, Lahaina Cannery Mall’s Easter deal, which goes from 10am-3pm, is a suitable Saturday alternative. Kaanapali Beach Hotel is doing an Easter extravaganza all day Sunday, including an egg hunt, a visit from the bunny of the hour, a petting zoo and live Hawaiian entertainment (661-0011). Other resorts taking part in Easter Sunday festivities include the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua at 10:30am (669-6200) and Sheraton Maui at 9:30am (662-8053). Central Mauians can do the whole Easter thing all day Saturday at Maui Mall; egg hunt, E.B. photos and all.

SIGNLANGUAGE
CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Physical intimacy is a great way to feel close to someone quickly, but it’s remarkably uninformative when it comes to ascertaining their true character. It may seem like a great shortcut (and it can certainly open some doors), but don’t confuse yourself by deciding that you and your cuddle buddy are truly tight yet. You may be tempted to just spout all of your secrets in a peaceful moment of post-coital bliss, and maybe you should (as this is where real intimacy will come from)—just make sure the other person wants to hear them, and can actually be trusted with them.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Sometimes the right choice is so obvious that you have to choose it, even if it seems dumb or shortsighted, or you have absolutely no idea how you’ll make it work. Don’t deny what you already know, just because your well-intentioned mind (or friends) are trying to convince you of something else. This is a good time to trust your gut or heart, even when they conflict with your brain’s (probably correct) assessment that it’d be smarter to do something else. Doing the smart thing is best in most circumstances, but there are exceptions. Choosing these correctly is what will make your life, well, exceptional.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) There’s a difference between passing the time and making the most of it. Naturally, much of life we end up just allowing to pass by in a mostly unremarkable way. No need to beat yourself up over it, but there’s also no need to settle for that. While it’s probably impossible for most of us to be perpetually conscious, present, and in constructive and creative control of every minute, most of us could easily shift the balance a bit. This week give your soul two more hours than it usually gets; try to do something you can sustain next week, and the next, ad infinitum.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) 500 yards from the finish line in an epic road race, you get a flat tire. Do you soldier on and just roll across it with a bum wheel? Probably. How about if the flat occurs a mile from the end, or five, or twenty? At some point you’d make a decision to stop and fix the damn thing before proceeding. It’s all about guessing what will be best in the long and short run (and acknowledging that there’s frequently a conflict between the two). Where do you draw that line between “make do” and “make it right?” This week, like it or not, you’ll need to figure that out.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) The QWERTY layout of most modern keyboards is inefficient and counterintuitive by design. An early version of the typewriter jammed up if the keys were pressed in rapid succession, so its inventor sought a way to slow typists down. He came up with the layout we currently use, which makes many of the most-used keys harder to reach, so his invention would work as intended. Now we’re more or less stuck with it. You, too, sort of put up obstacles to your own evolution, way back when, to slow it down. You had good reasons at the time, but they’re no longer valid. Luckily you don’t have an entire industry stopping you from getting rid of them and adopting something more intuitive and efficient. Please do.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) For the sake of argument, let’s say there are essentially three ways you can present this situation: the bald truth, an outright lie, or a selective, carefully edited version of the truth. For the moment, remove moral considerations from the equation so you can look at this logically. Which approach, given the person you’re dealing with, is most likely to produce the result you want? If you’re honest with yourself, you know exactly what will do the trick. Now add ethics back in. Are you willing to do what it takes? If not, walk away now, before it’s too late.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Each and every one of us, when we die, will leave behind a legacy of words, ideas, and images that will linger long after we’re dust, helping to shape the future, or define an era from the past, or both. Thus choosing which ideas we put forth into the world, which ones we choose to nurture and propagate, is far more important than a lot of the other stuff we end up paying attention to. What, exactly, are you putting out there? What kind of world are you helping to create? You may think the things you say don’t matter much—but they do. Choose well.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Sometimes you remind me of a dog whose tail has been severely docked. With only the tiniest stub to wag, he’s somewhat limited when it comes to communicating his state of mind to the world. Luckily, unlike that poor pup, you don’t need to be so handicapped. You can, essentially, grow your tail back. That takes time, though, and is almost like learning a whole new language. Don’t expect overnight results. Still, despite the slowness of the process, widening your avenues of communication with the world is well worth your while. Get started.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) The game you’re playing now is akin to removing support structures from a building, one at a time, to see how many you can take out before the whole thing comes tumbling down. The main problem, of course, is that you won’t know when you’ve gone too far until it’s too late, and people have gotten hurt. At that point you’re left with nothing more than a pile of rubble. Do you really want to push this thing? Trust me when I say that you won’t be able to stop in time, even if you think you can. I’d say leave now, while it’s still standing, or if you’re going to stay, build it up to make it stronger, rather than slowly picking it apart.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Sometimes rejection happens because of things you can’t easily control. If someone thinks you’re boring or you smell bad, there are things you can do to control or “correct” those things, but is it really worth it? It’s one thing if someone’s not into you because they have the wrong idea about you, but quite another if you’re just not to their taste. Ultimately you want someone who thinks you’re interesting and likes the way you smell, not someone who needs to be convinced of those things, or for whom you need to put on a mask (or a masking scent). Improve yourself to become a better version of you according to your own standards, not someone else’s.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Naturally, external factors will always exert some degree of influence over your well being; the question is, how much? If you’re always sad when it rains and always happy on sunny days, I’d wager you’re probably letting the outside world determine too much of your state of mind. Then again, if you catch pneumonia because you’re simply too stubborn to acknowledge the weather long enough to acquire and use an umbrella, that’s kind of messed up, too. There’s a balance between being too sensitive or too impervious; this week see if you can find it.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) You’re far more likely to be accidentally mean than deliberately malicious. What’s often interpreted as callous insensitivity is mostly just innocent cluelessness. Just because your intentions weren’t consciously malign, though, doesn’t let you off the hook. You still hurt someone. If you’re clumsy with your car and run over a dog, the dog’s still dead, even if it was just a lapse in concentration or a momentary fumble. The right thing to do is to take responsibility for the consequences of what you’ve done, regardless of how they came about, and earnestly try to make amends.
