LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR DINNER AND A SHOW Just finished reading your article entitled “Spoiled by Spago” (Apr. 5, 2007). They had to know you were coming and who you were. We have been to Spago four times in the past years and never have had a good experience at said establishment. We reside in Maui and decided to give them one more chance.

This last time as the other three times we made our reservations in advance and on the evening of our dinner we were greeted very politely and given our table. After that it was downhill all the way. After sitting for 10 minutes, no one came over to take a drink order, pour water or hand us menus.

A young man came by and asked if we would like more bread and we said we have not had one piece let alone have a waiter come to our table. He said something to our waiter, who then came over. He never said he was sorry; just “Oh.” He dropped off menus, did not ask if we wanted a cocktail or wine, and left.

I was ready to get up and leave but we decided to stick it out. The service never got any better.

When we returned home I sent an email to Spago and explained what had happened and received an immediate return of email apologizing and asking us to be sure to ask for the maitre d’ and he would take care of our reservation personally and take care of us. This is not what we wanted.

We wanted to enter Spago and get decent service. We can afford to eat at many of the wonderful establishments we have here on Maui but it will be a cold day in you know where before we go to Spago and the very OVERPRICED DUO which just opened in Four Seasons.

I am happy to hear that you and your friend had a wonderful time, but go in one day unannounced and see what happens. Mahalo for taking the

PLAYING CROPS Hawai`i’s Electric Companies are proposing a move towards biofuels (“No Fuel Like a Biofuel,” Apr. 5, 2007). That is growing a single crop in massive quantities as a form of energy production. This would require rezoning of significant amounts of Hawai`i’s land.

It would allow them support (from our tax dollars) to the sum of $59 million, a dispensation from the state. It would mean special tax considerations. It would also allow for considerable water use.

The world’s foremost energy experts have stated clearly that biofuels are not a responsible or equitable energy choice for our future. Biofuels require too much energy use in planting, harvesting, refining and production.

Biofuels use petroleum based pesticides and herbicides.

Biofuels also demand excessive use of water, perhaps our most precious and threatened natural resource. This monoculture would also destroy the last bit of topsoil in Hawai`i.

Please express disdain for this potential move, it is not a good energy option and not good for Hawai`i’s future!

-Bob Glorptknck, Makawao

LC Watch ‘Find Another Island’ The LC smashes an attempt to liberalize the county’s dancing rules

By Anthony Pignataro “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”

These are the words Dante inscribed over the gates of Hell in his Divine Comedy, but they might as well appear at the door into the Maui County Liquor Commission’s hearing room. In my decade covering local government in Hawai`i and California, I have never seen an appointed body act so arrogantly and show such utter contempt towards citizens who dared take time off from work to speak at a public hearing as the Liquor Commission did during its Apr. 11 meeting.

At issue was a petition containing 84 signatures submitted by a group calling itself Maui Dance Advocates. The petition asked the commission to change its rules governing dancing, which currently prohibit all dancing in an establishment except on specially designated dance floors. Specifically, the group wanted an actual definition of dancing placed in the rules—there is not one there now, despite the rules which govern where “dancing” can take place—and an allowance for “moderate” upper-body movement anywhere in an establishment.

Steve La Fleur, who identified himself as a professional dancer and wore a black tshirt saying “Back the Booty”—the meaning of which was undoubtedly lost on the commissioners, whose average age has got to be 55—said he found it “offensive” that numerous establishments had told him to stop dancing when he was just moving his upper body to the music.

When La Fleur’s three minutes were up, Commissioner Blackie Gadarian told him he didn’t believe him, questioned his motives and added, “If you feel you’re being persecuted, find another island.”

Commissioner Ron McOmber also jumped into the act, badgering La Fleur in an attempt to get him to name the establishments that had allegedly told him to stop dancing. “We’d like to talk to them,” McOmber told La Fleur, who ultimately said he couldn’t remember their names.

Ten members of the public showed up at the hearing, which is about 10 more than usually appear. Of them, four signed up to speak during the public testimony portion of the hearing.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Jonathan Starr—a member of the Maui Planning Commission—later stood and gave his personal opinion that he didn’t think regulating dancing “should be the business of this body.” The commissioners were silent on that, but when Starr

added that in his view prohibiting dancing was a constitutional issue, the commissioners seemed clueless and outraged.

“Explain that to me,” McOmber demanded, to which Starr responded that he didn’t feel it appropriate to make it easy for someone to sue the County of Maui.

Commissioner Todd Lawson, who rarely speaks at hearings, was the only member of the panel to show even the slightest sympathy towards the dance advocates. Pointing out that his fellow commissioners weren’t even familiar with the law they were refusing to change, he said it might be a good idea to hold a public hearing on the notion of putting an actual, legal definition of dancing into the rules.

The other commissioners ignored his suggestion.

After the members of the public had spoken, McOmber pointed out that the testimony the commission heard “has all been one-sided,” as though that were the fault of Maui Dance Advocates. (He and his fellow commissioners seemed to ignore Department of Liquor Control Director Franklyn Silva’s admission that Maui Dance Advocates had “followed the rules” in submitting a rule-change petition.)

In fact, McOmber complained so loudly about who had spoken that Penny Kikuchi—general manager and limited partner of Moose McGillycuddy’s in Kihei—agreed to speak on the issue. The commissioners then grilled her on whether she’d ever invoked the name of the Liquor Commission when telling customers to stop dancing (she admitted she had). This went on for a few minutes before Gadarian tired of it and sneered, “Can we get a motion or something?”

Commissioner Curt Morimoto was only too happy to do that. Questioning the legitimacy of the petition by pointing out that it carried 84 signatures but just four people signed up to speak at the hearing—he refused to allow Maui Dance Advocates to defend itself—Morimoto said he saw no problem with the rule, which he said was on the books for “safety” reasons. Then he made a motion to reject the petition and end the matter entirely, which the rest of the panel approved without any opposition.

Two days later, Starr was still steamed at the public’s treatment before the commission. “That was the most atrocious thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” he said.

“They were so mean.”MTW

ROBREPORT

Baldwin Beach Yesterday, today and tomorrow Body surfing, boogie boarding and coastal erosion. Family picnics, devastating tsunamis and climate awareness events. Ancient heiaus, limu gathering and sand mining. Proposals for luxury homes and preservation efforts for a regional park. Historical battles and current lawsuits.

It’s all going on at the North Shore’s Baldwin Beach Park, named after Henry Perrine Baldwin, sugar baron, pioneer pineapple planter and son of missionary Dwight Baldwin.

On the morning of Saturday, April 14, close to 150 people gathered at Baldwin Beach for a “climate awareness event,” one of nearly 1,400 such events nationwide. Sponsored locally by the Hawai`i PV (photovoltaic) Coalition, organizers hoisted banners calling for Congress to mandate an 80 percent reduction in carbon emissions by 2050. A flyover by Blue Hawaiian’s “Eco-Star” helicopter filmed the gathering.

Baldwin Beach was chosen because it represents one of the beaches Maui stands to lose to rising sea levels if the United States doesn’t do its part to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Indeed, last summer beachgoers were shocked as seasonal erosion undermined nearly twodozen ironwood trees, tumbling them into the surf.

The Hawai`i PV Coalition is composed of individuals and businesses “focused on moving our State away from its dependency on fossil fuels while moving it towards clean, renewable energy; specifically solar power,” according to their press release. “With sunshine in abundance and electric costs rising, solar power makes sense.”

Twelve weeks ago, Bill McKibben, author of The End Of Nature, launched the nationwide Step It Up campaign to raise awareness for global warming. He maintained that the urgency of the cause requires a campaign infused with the same passion as the 1960’s civil rights movement.

His timing may be right on.

“It’s gone off like a rocket ship,” McKibben said. He chose the week before Earth Day for the awareness events, though “the Earth might need more than one day.”

This Sunday, April 22, from 10 a.m. to sunset, an Earth Day event will attract a large crowd to Baldwin Beach for a wide array of musical performances, food booths, speakers and dis-

plays on social action and environmental awareness. The event sponsor is Bruce Douglas of Mandala Ethnic Arts in Paia, with co-sponsorship by Sierra Club, GMO Free Maui, Hawai`i Ocean Noise Coalition, Save Makena, Ocean Mammal Institute and a few others.

Douglas, who has sponsored the event for the past two years, is also the owner of Mandala Homes, which successfully petitioned the Board of Variance and Appeals last year to allow the importation of sus-

ABOVE: Baldwin Beach a few decades ago; BELOW: the same beach, last weekend tainably harvested palm and rubber wood to Maui for use as building materials. He encouraged participation from the Sierra Club-Maui to promote the idea of preserving the undeveloped coastal area as a North Shore Heritage Park.

Lucienne De Naie and Lance Holter of the Sierra Club-Maui conceived of a regional park, celebrating the history of the area and envisioning an undeveloped wilderness shoreline for future generations to enjoy. They’ll be at Baldwin Beach on Sunday, with displays and petitions to rally support for protecting the area from urbanization pressure.

Just eight years ago, as part of the Wailuku-Kahului Community Plan revision, Alexander & Baldwin asked the County Council to include a proposal to develop 24 to 30 homes on the wooded dunes between the Maui Country Club golf course and the beach. A tidal wave of community support swelled to “Save Baldwin Beach” from the impending coastal development, as well as another 420 homes and nine holes of golf proposed mauka of Hana Highway.

Five thousand citizens signed petitions

opposing Spreckelsville development, and Council hearings set a record with 160 testifiers on that agenda item, spanning several meetings and many months.

Ultimately, the Council unanimously voted down the makai proposal for twodozen homes, though the Sprecks mauka vote was a narrower five to four to reject.

Around the same time, citizens began questioning permitting irregularities that were to allow three private residences on the single parcel where the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar (HC&S) Lime Kiln operated for much of the last century. The “Montana Beach” fiasco (named after the daughter of one of the investors) dragged through the media and the courts.

Realizing they had erred, the Planning Department refused to issue a Certificate of Occupancy to the owners of a two-story, elaborately crafted house. After years of legal stalemates, matters were settled, with the County acquiring two of the three lots, while the middle lot remains in limbo. It is noteworthy that the effort of one resident, Christina Hemming, working with Dana and Isaac Hall to untangle the chronicle of events that allowed the pilikia to unfold, is

largely the reason that three luxury homes aren’t built there today.

Of course, recent skirmishes over development proposals are nothing compared to past battles in the area.

In the 1730’s, rival sons of recently deceased Maui King Keakaulike led armies through days of fighting, with great casualties on both sides. Reportedly, the battle ended in a truce, which probably took place at the Papanene heiau, now in ruins at the base of the Pu`u Nene cinder cone, visible rising out of the cane fields across from the “Sprecks 5” subdivision along the Hana Highway.

It’s likely that many of the deceased warriors were buried in the coastal dunes.

A search of the microfilm archives at the Kahului Public Library turned up an April 1973 Maui News article, complete with photo of three visitors posing on the beach with a complete, just-unearthed skeleton.

The paper’s next edition—which cost a dime back then—printed letters chastising the newspaper for their bad taste in disrespecting the Hawaiian remains.

ond term in office on the idea that she can switch the state’s economy base from land to “innovation”—this is very good news indeed, and the Star-Bulletin wasted no time putting the best face possible on the news. “[R]esearch on topics like tsunamis, volcanoes and disaster management helps make Hawaii a safer and better place to live,” the paper paraphrased University of Hawai`i Vice Chancellor Gary Ostrander as saying. Of course, if you read a few paragraphs further into the story, it was crystal clear that the biggest chunk of that research money wasn’t going to disaster relief: “Defense Department grants accounted for $52.3 million in 2004 and a significant part of the growth in federal spending on research,” the paper reported. And by “significant,” they of course meant 31 percent, which is nearly a third. And that isn’t even counting the possibility of the U.S. Navy building a special research lab at UH, because those talks are still ongoing.

FRIDAY, Apr. 13

WEDNESDAY, Apr. 11 Kurt Vonnegut, who wrote many short stories and novels including Slaughterhouse-Five, Slapstick and The Sirens of Titan—wonderful books about meek heroes and the end of the world that high school students read because they’re both hilarious and tragic as well as just being fun to read—and is generally considered one of the most imaginative American voices of the 20th century, died today at the age of 84. So it goes.

THURSDAY, Apr. 12 Looks like the State of Hawai`i is awash in federal research cash, according to today’s Honolulu StarBulletin in the story “Isle’s research funding among top.” In 2004 there was $169.4 million in federally funded (tax dollar-supported) research and development in Hawai`i, which was more than double the figure from just four years earlier and ranked the state the highest in the nation in terms of percentage increases. For somebody like Governor Linda Lingle—who’s staking her entire sec-

Speaking of Governor Lingle, she dropped by the Iao Theater in Wailuku today to sign HB 1756. For those not up on this year’s legislative priorities, HB 1756 ends the 15-year limit on county leases to nonprofit organizations—like Maui OnStage, which runs the Iao Theater but has been unable to secure long-term financing. Lingle, who was a little late— she had to appear at a blessing for a new Hawaiian Homelands development on the Westside—told the three dozen or so officials, dignitaries and people who just happened to be walking by the theater that HB 1756 was special to her because she actually once appeared in a production of Love Letters at the Iao. Much hilarity ensued, mostly because no one could remember who was mayor— Councilwoman Jo Anne Johnson called Mayor Charmaine Tavares “Councilwoman” and later Lingle referred to herself as “Mayor.” Then Lingle signed two copies of the bill—placing the pen between her forefinger and middle finger—and gave one copy to Tavares (who later joked to the crowd that the theater was special to her because she found $5 there as a kid when she went to see Ten Commandments) and one to Johnson, who first initiated the bill. Now if the county actually starts handing out long-

Governor Lingle, on stage

term leases to established, reputable nonprofits—and finally figures out which department is supposed to approve leases to non-profits—then today’s events will be something more than mere politicking.

SATURDAY, Apr. 14 Don Ho died today at the age of 76.

Obituaries are naturally focusing on the five decades he spent as a Waikiki entertainer, singing “Tiny Bubbles” probably close to a million times to generations of tourists and locals and in the process becoming the face and voice of Hawaiian music and culture to the rest of the world, though Ho also had the distinction of being the best Brady Bunch special guest star ever—better than Davey Jones, way better than Don Drysdale. So it goes.

SUNDAY, Apr. 15 Perhaps in response to the Save Honolua Coalition and those dozens of letters demanding the preservation of Honolua Bay that keep appearing in The Maui News, Maui Land & Pineapple Company boss David C. Cole has an oped piece in today’s paper promising that his outfit is “working to protect Honolua Bay for the benefit of everyone.” With nary a mention of the 18-hole golf course or 40 homes his company will build on Lipoa Point, Cole promises that preserving the bay is ML&P’s top priority. “We all know

FIRST GUY: “So he sent me a video today-” SECOND GUY: “Was it about a fat woman in a thong?”

FIRST GUY: “Yes!” SECOND GUY: “Yeah, he sent me that, too. I watched about three seconds of it before I was able to turn it off.”

MONDAY, Apr. 16 Apparently by coincidence, the Maui County Committee of the Democratic Party met yesterday to discuss ML&P’s plans for Honolua Bay. Their solution? “The group unanimously approved a resolution calling on the County, State and federal governments to use public funds, and if necessary, eminent domain powers, to acquire Honolua Bay and Lipoa Point,” wrote Democratic Party of Maui Corresponding Secretary/attorney Lance Collins in an email yesterday. For some reason, I don’t think the county seizing Honolua Bay from the Maui Land & Pineapple Company is exactly what Cole had in mind when he called for community suggestions on how to help the bay. Still, it’s something we should definitely consider.

that Honolua Bay is beloved by those who live on Maui and by those who visit,” Cole wrote. “ML&P wants to harness that aloha for the benefit of the bay. Today I step forward to call upon the community to help us devise the very best plan to malama Honolua Bay.” Just to let you know he’s serious, Cole added that his company is prepared to meet with “Hawaiian community leaders” and “bring together an independent advisory panel” to “help us plan the future of Honolua Bay.” An independent advisory panel?! Now that’s how you get things done!

Television, which recently announced that MTV will be launching a new reality series titled The Road to Menudo about the return of the “popular” boy band Menudo from the 1980’s, dies at the age of 71. So it goes.

‘Is That Some Sort of Joke?’

Talking with one of the Navy’s elite underwater commandoes On April 13, CNN reported on how the U.S. Navy was showing off one of its special underwater anti-terror commando units to the media. As part of that publicity tour, we were able to interview a member of that elite unit about both her comrades in arms and navy life in general: MAUI TIME WEEKLY: Sitting next to me is Petty Officer 3rd Class Nani.

Now did I say that name correctly?

NANI: That is correct.

MTW: Okay. Now how long have you been with the unit in question?

NANI: Oh, I’ve been with the Naval base at Point Loma for about 12 years now.

MTW: Twelve years? That’s pretty good. Now, for the benefit of our listening audience, I should probably point out—you obviously can’t see Petty Officer Nani like I can—but you’re a dolphin, is that correct?

NANI: That is correct.

MTW: A bottlenose dolphin?

NANI: Yes, I’m actually Tursiops

truncatus, Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin.

I’m about 14 years old, about nine feet and a slime 460 pounds.

MTW: Four hun—that’s actually pretty slim for a dolphin.

NANI: I keep myself active.

MTW: Excellent. So do you want to tell a little bit about yourself?

NANI: Well, I come from the waters just off of San Diego—actually, out of Mission Bay. MTW: Oh, a California girl.

NANI: Yeah, that’s right. My mother passed away when I was about two years old, and I became kind of a bad juvenile. I was hanging with the wrong tuna crowdMTW: Ooooh…

NANI: -And the Navy recruited me, and really made my life much better.

Much higher quality.

MTW: Tell me a little bit about being with the Navy. Is that a lot of work? Is that pretty difficult?

NANI: Oh, no, not at all. It’s pretty cake, actually. Good health benefits, they feed us well, I still socialize with some of my genus, and it’s a pretty good gig.

MTW: Nice, nice, very nice. Do you have to go through a lot of training for this?

NANI: Well, a lot of the initial training had to do with the whole communication breakdown between you humans and us dolphins, but we worked it out.

MTW: It’s not like at Sea World where we just dangle a fish at you and you go jump through a hoop?

NANI: Yeah, that’s funny. No, actually, it’s a lot more serious work, having to do with categorization and finding or detecting the presence or absence of objects, things like that.

MTW: Oh. I’ve heard about that. Now the story that ran on CNN the other day, April 13, mentions that there are 100 people in the unit, 25 of which are sea lions.

Now what’s it like working with them?

NANI: Yeah, um… It’s pretty good.

They’re… they’re smart… animals. But their breath is kinda bad and they do make a lot of noise. […]

MTW: Now this is kind of an uncomfortable question—I’m not used to asking people this question—but have you ever

killed anybody?

NANI: Come on. No. That’s not what our work is all about.

MTW: Oh. It’s more like finding mines or undersea stuff or just watching… for things?

NANI: Well, yeah. It’s kind of important work. Actually my first gig with the Navy was during the 1996 San Diego Republican Party National Convention. We patrolled the bay in San Diego, trying to look for unwelcome swimmers, who were perhaps trying to plant a bomb that could kill all you humans. It’s some pretty serious work.

MTW: I see. I imagine it also would be tough for you to throw a hand grenade with flippers.

NANI: Is that some sort of joke? […]

MTW: Well, I personally feel much safer knowing that you’re out there, making sure that we’re going to be safe.

NANI: Well, thank you. You should.

SUPERFERRY GETS A NAME! Well, looks like Maui Land & Pineapple Company’s million-dollar investment in Hawai`i Superferry is going to pay off. The firm’s spiffy new high-priced public relations firm McNeil Wilson announced last week that the new super-fast catamaran had passed its sea trials—they even sent out a batch of free digital photos to prove it! On Apr. 14, shipbuilder Austal USA christened the vessel Alakai. That means “ocean path,” according to McNeil Wilson. Now that’s a pretty lame name, but please don’t confuse it with the much cooler name Alaka`i, which is both KPOA’s “Morning Goddess” and the place on Kauai that’s considered the largest high altitude swamp on Earth.

MATSON’S ALREADY GOT ONE ML&P shows its stuff with a brand new boat, and A&B advertises the fact that its Matson freighters are ancient. April 10 was the 125th anniversary of Matson Navigation Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Alexander & Baldwin. According to an Apr. 10 Pacific Business News story, that particular date commemorates the day Captain William Matson and his three-masted schooner Emma Claudina took 300 tons worth of “general merchandise” from San Francisco to Hilo back in 1882. No word on how long that voyage took, though it couldn’t have been longer than a week, which is about a third of the time it takes to ship a car on one of Matson’s current auto ferries. MTW

ROBREPORT BALDWIN: continued from page 9 One time “Sugar King” Claus Spreckels, for which the community is named, was a chief competitor of the Alexander and Baldwin family plantations. When the present Pu`unene Mill was being built a century ago, it was often referred to as the “Spreckelsville Mill.” But at the laying of the cornerstone, plantation manager H.P. Baldwin announced the mill would be called Pu`unene, after the nearby cinder cone. The plantation Spreckels assembled is now essentially the 37,000 acres in production by HC&S. Maui Agriculture Co., run by Alexander and Baldwin, constructed the Paia Lime Kiln in 1907. Over much of the next seven decades, sand and coral were excavated from the beach to manufacture hydrated lime for plantation uses, build roads and airstrips and also produce cement during wartime.

Railroad tracks and a roadway ran through the area. Portions of the old asphalt roadbed are sometimes visible on the beach today.

The lime kiln withstood the April 1, 1946 tsunami that badly damaged dozens of structures in the Spreckelsville and Paia beach areas.

Also destroyed was a USO recreation hall built on the dunes during World War II. Erosion was a concern even back then. In 1954, geologist Doak Cox, contracted by the Hawai`i Sugar Planters Association, issued a report titled, “The Spreckelsville Beach Problem.” HC&S commissioned the study in hopes of increasing the output of the Lime Kiln. The company wondered how much sand they could remove from the beaches without adversely affecting them.

Cox, euologized as a “grand champion of the environment” at his passing in 2003 at age 86, obliged HC&S’s request. He quantified historic amounts of sand removed, noted beach rock marking former shorelines (such as at “Baby Beach”) and finally

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD recommended ceasing sand removal from “industrial supply beach” at Spreckelsville and “lime kiln supply beach” at Kapuka`ulua—the rarely spoken proper place name.

Nevertheless, HC&S ignored Cox’s recommendations. In fact, they continued to operate the lime kiln for the next 25 years.

Dramatic shoreline erosion last July and August forced the closure of Baldwin Beach Park. While many wondered if this was indeed a visible affect of global warming, multiple reasons were involved.

University of Hawai`i Sea Grant coastal geologist Zoe Norcross-Nu`u noted that the previous winter was the second calmest in the past 25 years. Normally, the large waves generated from winter storms actually replenish sand lost during the summer from easterly winds and currents.

Then there was the anomalous mesoscale eddy, or bulge in the sea level over a 100square-kilometer area north of the islands last summer, which was detected through satellite imagery.

Finally, the area of most severe erosion was just beyond the boulder revetment that once protected the lime kiln, but was left in place when it shut down. Seawalls and revetments may “fix” the shoreline, but only at the expense of adjacent beach systems.

A week ago, Holter, who is also the Maui Democratic Party Chair, invited me to meet with him and U.S. Representative Mazie Hirono (D, Hawai`i), to discuss the creation of a Patsy Mink North Shore Heritage Park, honoring the late congresswoman who was born in Paia. Two years earlier, we had walked the shoreline with Anne Stewart, executive aide to former Representative Ed Case. He had introduced a bill to study federal preservation of the coastal region back in 2004, which Hirono said she’ll reintroduce.

With the success of the Maui Coastal Land Trust, and a dedicated county fund tapping one percent of property tax revenues for open space land acquisition, there is hope that future generations may also get to enjoy the unabashed beauty of the wilderness area stretching from Paia to Spreckelsville. MTW

SHRINK VS. SHRINK! In March, a jury in Los Angeles listened to nine psychiatrists testify, along with other witnesses who openly described their sex lives, before finally deciding that neither party in the shrink-vs.-shrink contest was all that emotionally healthy. Dr. David Martorano had sued the UCLA psychiatry department, blaming a loss of promotion on a failed affair with his supervisor, Dr. Heather Krell, who denied the affair, especially Martorano’s claim of oral sex in a parked car. Krell’s witnesses “diagnosed” Martorano with narcissistic personality disorder and being “addicted” to having women fall in love with him. The jury concluded that Krell did have the affair, but did not sexually harass Martorano or sabotage his promotion.

GOVERNMENT IN ACTION In February, when housing officials in Loebau, Germany, ran out of small apartments for low-income residents, they decided to put them in quarters that were larger than regulations allowed. However, the officials made the residents close off some rooms to stay within the allotted space and said inspectors would make regular visits to see that no one cheated.

WHAT A SHAME Fire officials in Crystal River, Fla., stopped the planned performance in January of Jesse Aviles, “The Human Bomb,” who was set to lie face down across two bar stools at the Oar House Restaurant and Lounge and have himself blown across the room by explosives. According to Oar House, the performance was canceled for the lack of permits. City Manager Andrew Houston, asked by the St. Petersburg

Times what kind of permits might be necessary for a person to be exploded from a barstool, said, “I have no earthly idea.”

BIG-TIME CRIME Marshall Wolbers, 56, was arrested in Lake Bluff, Ill., in February after he had allegedly ripped off almost two dozen spas in the Chicago area over the last year by luxuriating in massage and pedicure services, etc., but skipping out on the bill. Said one specialist on nails, to an Associated Press reporter, “I just want to look at him [and say,] ‘You jerk, you didn’t even tip me. You made me rub your gross feet and listen to you for an hour and a half.’”

THINGS PEOPLE BELIEVE Super-charismatic Stacy Finley, 34, pleaded guilty in January in Shreveport, La., to defrauding 22 middle-class victims by somehow convincing them to pay a total of $989,000 to have medical scans done of their bodies by overhead satellite and to be administered secret therapeutic drugs while they slept, by CIA agents who would sneak into their homes. And Sacramento, California veterinarian Bert Brooks told a KOVR-TV reporter in February that he had a record of curing pets by having them stare at a computer monitor showing psychedelic images. “I didn’t learn this in vet school,” he told the reporter, but “[t]here’s a lot going on in the universe that we don’t understand today.”

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS A 17-year-old was arrested in January in Sheboygan, Wis., and charged with stealing a snowmobile from the Sheboygan Yamaha lot. However, the next morning, even before the dealer realized the vehicle was missing, the boy had brought it in for service. MTW

Maui TIME “The lepers of Molokai gazed out to sea one day last week and beheld a long smoky line of ships smudging the Pacific horizon. Cut off from the world, few of the lepers knew that they were sighting the U.S. Scouting Force, assembled in Hawaiian waters to begin the Navy’s annual war games. Normally based on the Atlantic seaboard, the armada was in Pacific waters for the second consecutive year. Economy had been the Navy’s explanation for not sending the Scouting Force home.

Japan urbanely ignored any darker reason.”

THE

FASHION ISSUE

We step into the world of women’s shoes or too many years, everything I knew about women’s shoes came from Married with Children. “Oh sure, on the surface selling women’s shoes is fun,” said Al Bundy on at least one episode. “But once you cut through all the hype, the myths, the glamour, it’s really very much like any minimum wage-paying slow death.”

F

Funny, until you start thinking about a woman’s shoe. Take the stiletto, for instance.

It’s a fascinating piece of mechanical as well as social engineering. It elevates a woman’s body, toning the leg muscles and tightening the ass, but at the price of throwing her weight forward. A woman wearing stilettos cannot jump, play golf or walk on the beach. Each step she takes requires a degree of balance and poise completely alien to men.

In this issue we take a look at women’s shoes—how they developed, how one local shoe store owner has found a unique niche market and, most importantly, why women wear the shoes they do. So sit back, kick off your own shoes and enjoy it.

The

Big Deal Teri Edmonds brings large-sized women’s shoes to Maui

By Jen Russo eri Edmonds is a bright eyed, smiling and spunky young businesswoman. Sitting across from her at Café Marc Aurel in Wailuku, it was hard for me to see her as an up-and-coming shoe designer, planning her future courses in shoe cobbling. We were talking about her latest two lines of shoes, Hot Biskit and Wild Plumeria.

“Hot Biskit is more edgy, while Wild Plumeria is a bit more conservative,” Edmonds said. “I have a total of six different designs in tons of great colors.

One has adjustable width straps, the other sparkle in the straps.”

What makes the shoes especially interesting aren’t the colors or the sparkles or even the names, but the sizes they come in.

“You want to know what’s hot in shoes right now?” she said when I dropped into her Wailuku store If the Shoe Fits, locat-

ed next door to Marc Aurel. “This is going to blow your mind.”

Then she pulled out a few sketches of some of her customers’ feet, ranging in size from 13 to 15—three and half to four inches wide.

“Nobody makes shoes for these women,” Edmonds said. “These women want to buy shoes, but nobody is making anything for them. Almost all lines of shoes go from size six to 10, with the width set at three inches. These women don’t fit anywhere in that model.”

Most of us girls take the ability to buy swanky shoes for granted. We complain that there aren’t enough styles available, or that the available colors just aren’t right. But most of us have comparatively small feet—what if your foot was a special size: where would you buy cute shoes?

A cursory Internet search for size 13 shoes in extra wide found some of the most unattractive styles available. They weren’t cheap, either, with prices ranging from $35 to $150. Size 14 wide shoes are even rarer—I located just two pairs, a sport shoe and flat closed-toe shoe.

Living as we do in the tropics, I can’t even imagine wearing the later shoe, much less ordering it.

“I had this one customer who came in,” Edmonds said. “She was a high school student. Her foot was four inches

wide. She wanted to buy a pair of cute women’s shoes. I said I didn’t have anything for her, but she wouldn’t leave. She put her backpack down and she begged me to find something for her. She just sat there and cried. That changed me.”

Edmonds begun compiling a data bank of foot sketches. She thought about what shoes sell well. It wasn’t going to be easy.

Standard minimum orders for getting shoes manufactured range from $100,000 to $150,000. Self-funding the launch of her own design suddenly seemed a very tall order. When she added in factors like the requirement that the shoes use only eco-friendly, recyclable materials and the

manufacturer’s environmental awareness and reputation into the equation, things only got more complex.

When she finally came up with a design that was large but still what she’d consider cute, she went to a shoe conference on the mainland to find a manufacturer that could do a small order for her.

She was met with ridicule.

“What, you want size 15?” one manufacturer told her. “That’s not a shoe, that’s a boat!”

She eventually did find a manufacturer, which isn’t bad, considering Edmonds opened her shop just six years ago. Even then she was trying to fit into a niche market.

“I have always been interested in fashion,” she said. “I thought clothing would be more risky, so I chose shoes. Everyone

needs shoes.”

Since the early days of her store Edmonds has been putting shoes on the feet of what she calls “the hard-to-fit customer.” In the early days, cross-dressers were a big part of her clientele.

“It started because I was at a gala event fundraiser for Maui AIDS Foundation,” she said. “I found and carried all kinds of wild styles of platforms, stilettos and heels that catered to the transgendered, as well as stocking lines of women’s business-wear shoes.”

She still has the professional styles but she’s added her own designs that cater to the hard-to-fit women and girls. But getting there wasn’t easy. Learning to deal with her manufacturer in China, delays in receiving the actual products, and having to buy large quantities have all been challenges in creating her own line.

But Edmonds takes the shoe business seriously. When I asked her what elements go into designing a great shoe, she replied without hesitation.

“Arch support,” she said. “It’s so important. Without it your posture is ruined, your arch falls; your back goes out of alignment. Almost no women’s shoe has arch support. It’s crazy. Number two is comfort. We live in Hawai`i.

Nobody wants to have uncomfortable shoes here.”

Her shoe lines reflect her beliefs, with arch supports, sole cushioning, as well as

lightweight and open-air designs. They come in a variety of colors—bright spring pinks and oranges to the neutral beige and blacks. You can buy them in heel or flats and they come in sizes from six to 15, with an average width of four inches in durable manmade foam-like materials.

But having succeeded in getting a large women’s shoe to a manufacturer seemed to only whet her appetite. Now she wants to work with leather.

“Everything I design will be done in the four-inch width with the sizing going up to 15,” she said.

In a perfect world, Edmonds said, she would have her own manufacturing operation on Maui. It would be a semi-cooperative organization, using recyclable, natural fibers. She’d offer “amazing” benefits for her employees.

“My factory would be open-air,” she said. “Hours would be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and there would be yoga and massage available. We would grow the shoe materials like bamboo and hemp right there. I would have a recycling facility for the old shoes. Workers would take turns with the jobs, one-day work in the garden, the next on the shoes.”

Sounds great, but she’s still got a line of large women’s shoes to start selling. MTW If the Shoe Fits is located at 12 N. Market St. in Wailuku. For more information call 249-9710.

hy do women wear high heels? At first I thought finding an answer to that ancient question was just my editor’s attempt to get his newly single reporter to approach as many women as possible with perhaps the single greatest icebreaker ever devised. But as I proceeded with my “research,” I found myself growing evermore curious (Note to imitating pick-up artists: I cut a pretty wide swath across the island with this particular question, so you might want to come up with your own ideas).

I started small, asking just a few female co-workers who already knew I was a writer. They gave me short and simple answers—“make your legs/butt/calves look better,” “attract attention from men,” “feel good” and “because they look good with a dress.”

With the image of high school prom-goers fresh in my mind (I work at a hotel and I swear there’s a dance

every week) I began to follow up.

Don’t they hurt your feet/legs/back?

Won’t men be attracted no matter what? Why try to attract a man who cares what kind of shoes you are wearing? And don’t Crocs feel good?

Why not just wear those? That’s when I stumbled upon the motherlode, the question that would reshape my entire mission: Can’t you feel good without hurting yourself?

I became bolder, approaching strangers at work, in bars, on the beach and even on the street. With every answer, my follow-up questions became more intense.

Most women I interviewed acknowledged the “necessary evil” of wearing high heels; even those who first contended that the more expensive heels were “almost comfortable” took time to qualify the statement.

Some were blatant about being willing to do anything to impress others or themselves.

Why Do Women Wear High Heels?

One intrepid reporter dares to ask fashion’s most baffling question

By Corey Nielsen “I’d do anything for fashion,” one woman told me. “If a man has a choice between a woman in high heels and one without, he’ll choose the woman in heels,” said another.

Predictably, the men I talked to seemed to reinforce the women’s reasoning: “Heels are sexy.”

“I love the whole powerful, business-woman look.”

“They make a woman’s legs/butt/calves look good.”

One friend had even developed a pickup routine—if he saw a lady in high heels, he’d ask to borrow them, place them over his ears and say, “The only place these look good is right here.”

Later I discovered CFMPs (“Come Fuck Me Pumps”). That’s a name given to especially high heels. I first heard it from two 30-something women at work, both of whom had given more thought to heels than anyone yet, with the possible exception of

myself. My coworkers were candid and unselfconscious about the duality of heels.

“How many pairs of shoes do you own?” one, a 5-foot-10 blond who could be Uma Thurman’s twin sister, asked me.

I was ashamed to say 10.

“Well, I just sold a house and cleaned out my closet, and had 70 pairs of shoes,” she said.

Why, I asked, dumbfounded.

“Shopping is an addiction,” she said. “Some good shoes cost $300.

I’ve purchased shoes and left them on the dresser just to look at, because they’re so pretty.”

That actually made more sense to me than wearing them.

“I had a crazy friend who slept with hers on her pillow,” she added.

Excuse me?

“Yeah, well, I did say she was crazy,” she said. “I think she felt they compensated for her lack of companionship.”

It hit me like Bridget Fonda in

Single White Female. I realized that high heels could be addictive: like any risky substance or behavior, they offered instant gratification, if not long-term satisfaction. Like most things that make us feel good in the interim—drugs, alcohol, chocolate, casual sex, coffee, Big Macs—they

only make our lives more complicated once the initial rush wears off.

Come down from drugs, same old you. Take off the heels, and you turn back into a pumpkin.

It looks to me like most women wear heels for a temporary escape from not feeling their very best; to get approval from someone else. Men or women, it didn’t matter (Uma had mentioned wearing heels to impress other ladies because “men don’t even notice that shit”).

Of course, not all the women I spoke to agreed with that rationale.

One very intelligent but somewhat inebriated young lady at a local bar told me that she wore heels when she wanted to, just for fun.

“If you want to dress up and look good, and even fall down, go for it,” she said.

But the most interesting response to my question came from an absolutely stunning, dreadlocked blond henna artist I encountered at Whaler’s Village.

“I don’t wear high heels,” she said.

“I’m not a girlie girl. I make my own clothes, see?” Then she pointed to the black stretch pants she’d apparently made and somehow squeezed into.

“Besides, I don’t get dressed up,” she added. “I’m simple. I don’t go to fancy places or eat expensive meals. I go to fun places and eat well.”

Here was a woman who sounded like she knew herself well, was comfortable and confident and didn’t spend too much time worrying about what you or I might think. She seemed to know that what’s most attractive is not approval from the outside world, but a healthy sense of self-acceptance, love and preservation. Of all the women I spoke to, she alone said she didn’t need a man to make her feel sexy.

I bet her feet felt great, too. MTW

From Heel to Eternity An abbreviated history of the shoe

Sandals are in. Bark and rawhide are preferable, later giving way to wood and poured gold. Depictions of sandals as a sign of power and rank show up on Egyptian tablets.

The Romans introduce feet fetishism and the infamous Greek tragedy known as “wearing one size smaller” takes shape in the world of women’s shoes.

1500 The heel reaches the height of fashion, starting with the five-inch “chopine”—the precursor to KISS platforms—imported from Florence and introduced to the French court by shorty Catherine de Medicis.

Walking canes are implemented for additional support. And Shakespeare pens the phrase, “Your ladyship is nearer to heaven than when I saw you last, by the altitude of the chopine.”

1800

Shoes are now available (sizes 3-15ww)

Satin, side-laced ankle boots become the rage in Europe, reaching knee-length, ornate and corset-like by the 1890’s.

And in the Americas, colonial women steal the deerskin moccasins off Native American feet, then practical oxfords off their husbands’ during suffrage marches.

The high-top Converse makes its debut.

In the Roaring Twenties, sensible shoes are out; heeled sandals are in. In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy clicks the heels of her sparkling

ruby slippers with the power to take her home, inciting women and drag queens across the world. In China, foot-binding is quickly becoming gauche, while in the West fetish gear enjoys an underground following in patent leathers, spiky heels and strapped rhinestone pedestal boots with spurs.

1940 On the mainland, they begin rockin’ and rollin’ in clunky saddle shoes and thick bobby socks. While in Hawai`i, plantation boots give way to the ubiquitous slippah and posters of Rita Hayworth wearing racy studded slingbacks show up in a U.S. serviceman’s locker.

1950 The stiletto is born. While various European designers clamor for credit, millions of women limp to the doc’s office for twisted and broken ankles. Jayne Mansfield owns 200 pairs. Five-foot Brazilian bombshell Carmen Miranda performs the song “I Like to Be Tall” in eight-inch platforms. And Salvatore Ferragamo makes a $1,000 pair of 18-karat gold chain sandals.

1960 The Beatles and the Mods bring back the low-heeled ankle boot to wear with their Nehru pantsuits and later, futurist “go-go” boots with their miniskirts. Sandals also come back again—this time flat and earthy by way of the dreaded Birkenstock.

The vampy invisible sandal takes hold, inspired by leggy Las Vegas showgirls and procuring a multibillion dollar pedicure industry.

two. I seem to also recall fringed boots, clogs, checkered Vans and vinyl pumps but the history books show nothing of the sort. Probably for good reason.

1990 The Top-Sider is seen on every pretentious schmuck on campus, while chicks face a similar lapse in judgment, going for espadrilles, mules and fake-fur trimmed, 10-inch-high turquoise “Pee Wee” boots inlaid with Las Vegas icons.

2000 Mary Janes and cork wedgies fade out, as Sex and the City re-introduces the importance of the stiletto, further immortalizing Manolo Blahnik. Fetish wear is officially mainstream. And knee-high riding boots do nothing for us in the Hawaiian Islands.

Today Sandals are in. Bark and rawhide are preferable. Rubber will do. MTW

1970 Manolo Blahnik opens his first boutique in London and invents the “jellies.” Snakeskin, pearlized leather, ankle straps, 11-inch platforms and stacked heels dominate the disco scene.

ONO KINEGRINDS

BY COREY NIELSEN COREY@MAUITIME.COM

Hidden Culinary Marvel Why I’m grateful for the Pa`ina Food Court The great thing about having gratitude is the realization that things we’d typically consider “not perfect” really are. My lunch last week at Maui Community College’s Pa`ina Food Court started with gratitude, and became one of the most perfect meals I’ve ever eaten.

Pa`ina Food Court Located at Maui Community College, 310 W. Ka`ahumanu Ave., Kahului, 984-3500.

Open Mon.-Fri., 8 a.m.-2 p.m. $

Photos: Ashley Camper

While visiting the food court the week prior, I was struck by how my beautiful plate of fresh island Opakapaka and vegetables cost me just $6, and that my school’s cafeteria was not only run by and for the benefit of MCC culinary students, but was also open

to the public. I realized right then I’d found the best dining value on the island and had to spread the word.

But now my eureka moment was validated on this magical day, as a good friend and I dined on healthy, gourmet fare at fast food prices. We walked in arm in arm, grateful to see each other and to be alive, loving Maui’s embracing sunshine and the chance to enjoy this hidden culinary marvel.

The cafeteria is divided into five stations: The Paniolo Grill, which offers made-to-order sandwiches and quick order items; World Plate (international cuisine); Raw Food Camp (sushi); Farm to Table (fresh garden salads); and The Patisserie (high-end baked goods). My friend selected the Salmon BLT Wrap from the Paniolo Grill, while I ordered a Garden Burger from the World Plate and some of Maui’s freshest and most affordable sushi from the Raw Fish Camp. In the name of research, the two of us also decided upon three desserts.

Over lunch, we discussed how lucky we were. While thousands of Maui residents and visitors have to shell out big bucks for similar cuisine in stuffy high-end restaurants, we were enjoying the simple pleasures of Pa`ina. We were surrounded by smiling students in a large, bright and stimulating environment. We felt good about contributing to the funding of the college, one of Maui’s most precious gifts.

Student chefs and bakers run Pa`ina. In addition to the main cafeteria, diners have the option of experiencing the more upscale Darvin Lei’s Class Act Restaurant, which is above the cafeteria and open Mondays and Wednesdays

Student chefs preparing the salad bar

(reservations recommended). According to Bobby Santos, a former Pa`ina Program Director who teaches purchasing and coordinates work experience for MCC students, the open layout of the restaurants gives culinary students the invaluable opportunity to have faceto-face interactions with diners.

My friend and I felt like thieves as we transitioned to the bounty of goods made fresh at the college’s Patisserie.

The homemade granola, which set us back a whopping $1.50, was perfectly toasted and blended nicely with its cranberry counterparts. The Almond Meringue Chocolate Mousse Praline Butter Cream was as good as it sounds, but almost at risk to be underappreciated, for the Chocolate Lilikoi Mousse with Hazelnut Praline Cookie is the type of dessert that could be considered a sin. Both of these treasures were priced under $3.

At most local restaurants, you’re paying up to 12 bucks for a dessert. On this day, our entire lunch cost $18. Now that’s certainly something to be grateful for. MTW

His latest album, Flow of Grace, released this year, is a collection of verses of the Hanuman Chalisa--a praising of the monkey god and invitation to the “knower of all hearts” to live eternally within us. It even says on the CD’s back cover: “Whoever recites this (Hanuman Chalisa) a hundred times, is released from bondage and gains bliss.” Hmm... yep, only 97 more to go! Tickets: $25. For more info call 575-9390 or visit Studio Maui’s website at www.thestudiomaui.com or my man KD’s site at www.krishnadas.com.

Saturday (Apr. 21), 9 a.m-1 p.m at the Bailey House Museum in Wailuku

[STAGE] A tragicomedy in two acts: “Meaningless, meaningless, everything is meaningless...” Waiting for Godot, a controversial play by Samuel Becker, is coming to Maui.

Becker wrote the play in 1940 and published it in 1952. That’s 12 years of rejection, to all you budding playwrights out there. Neat facts about this play: Steve Martin and Robin Williams have played the leading roles in the past. Most people find this play baffling and consequently “deep,” and it was once banned because it used the word “erection.” If that hasn’t convinced you to go see it, I don’t know what will. Basically, it’s a story about two guys who are (drumroll, please) “Waiting for Godot”— whoever Godot is. The base message seems to be about the tedium and meaningless of human life. Sometimes I like to be reminded about stuff like that, because it gives me the fuel I need to procrastinate. Tickets: $25, $20.

Call 242-7469 for info.

[BOOK SALE] If you like books—old, out-of-print, dusty, wonderful books you can’t find at Borders—then you might want to head over to the Bailey House this weekend for their Hawaiiana, Antiquarian and Historical Book Sale. Prices start at 10¢ (yes, you read that right). The sale includes old stamps, yellowed, historical newspapers and Hawaiian records, as well as new books like Spirit of the Village, a memoir by Jackie Pias Carlin about life growing up in a Paia plantation camp. In fact, Carlin will be there to autograph copies. It’s all going to benefit something called the “Index to The Maui News 1951-1973 project,” which sounds rather important but probably not nearly as interesting to read straight through as the 1894 edition of Isabella Bird’s Six Months in the Sandwich Islands, which will be auctioned off along with 30 other rare items. For more information about the sale, call 572-9979.

Remembering Barry Shannon Sunday (Apr. 22), 2 p.m. at the MACC’s McCoy Courtyard [CELEBRATION] Maui doesn’t have a lot of radio-listening options—especially compared with the stations that broadcast over big mainland cities—but those looking for unique, eclectic music tune into Mana`o Radio, 91.5 FM. Operating on low power and using volunteer disc jockeys, Mana`o has given Maui non-corporate radio— completely commercialfree, too—since 2002.

Last week co-founder Barry Shannon died at the age of 67. If you listen to Mana`o Radio, then you should show up and help celebrate the life of one of the people who made it possible. [AP]

DAY

Bringing Sexy Back Sunday (Apr. 22), 7:30 p.m. at the Castle Theater, MACC [FLAMENCO] There’s nothing sexier than a flamenco guitarist, except maybe the flamenco dancer, and then it’s just double sexy... I have an Antonio Banderas as-a-guitarist thing (alright, fantasy), and I know that most of you readers are probably gagging right now but it’s the truth. It’s also the truth (and I’ll pinkie-swear to this one) that I am way fricking hotter than Melanie Griffith.

Way. Hotter. Muy caliente.

Yeah. So anyway, Juan Carmona, flamenco guitarist, is bringing sexy back to Maui.

Justin Timberlake, my ass.

Carmona has had a Latin Grammy nomination, composed orchestras, has a degree as a concert musician from the national Conservatory of Music in Paris, and is, “one of the most creative guitarists of the new flamenco generation... has a surprising, moving quality.” So there. Tickets: $35, $25, $10, 242-7469 or www.mauiarts.org. [LB]

➤➤➤➤➤MONDAY ➤➤➤➤➤TUESDAY ➤➤➤➤➤WEDNESDAY

Samuel Beckett, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, forever changed the concept of drama and the course of theater with the appearance of a single play, “Waiting for Godot.” After its first production in New York in 1956, Brooks Atkinson, the then incredibly influential theater critic for the New York Times, followed with a review in which he was at a loss for words to describe Beckett’s vision. He called Godot, “a mystery wrapped in an enigma.”

He, like most others who saw the play, was left speechless by the brilliance, the incredible humor and the lilting gifted words, so purely Irish that float out at us from the stage. The background is an unknown landscape that my current producer calls “la zone.” The men who speak the words might be found in any pub in Ireland but instead have landed, devoid of accents, identification and labels, into that Land of Truth where our souls so long to be.

I love this play because it loves the sweet earth we live on and it bares our hearts in simple and profound ways. Just a few days ago Harold Pinter, London’s foremost playwright and film script writer, appeared on Charlie Rose and talked about the influence of Beckett and his work. The theater has been transformed by Beckett and opened the stage for young gifted playwrights to bring their creative visions to a more open and receptive audience.

Knowingly or not, we have all benefited by Sam’s audacity to create laughter in the dark.

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY COLE@MAUITIME.COM

Taking Liberties British spoof team sends up blockbusters I skipped seeing Blades of Glory because I know all too well its comic formula of hammering away at a single joke for an hour and a half. The makers of Hot Fuzz, and their previous film Shaun of the Dead, are familiar with such Hollywood recipe pitfalls and know how to smash clichés together to create original characters speaking irreverent dialogue around preposterous plot twists with pinpoint abandon.

Hot Fuzz

★★★★★ Rated R/120 mins.

They deftly sprinkle in elements from action blockbusters, whodunit thrillers, slasher pictures and romantic comedies to give Hot Fuzz a joyous grab bag thrill. It has an egalitarian air that says, “You like fun movies; we like fun movies.”

Gifted screenwriter/actor Simon Pegg is Nicholas Angel, a London super cop who puts his fellow officers to shame with daily displays of superior copsmanship that backfire into a Sergeant “promotion” that comes with a transfer to the small town of Somerset. Keen on keeping his big city police skills sharp, the humorless

Nicholas makes several arrests on his first night in town, only to discover the next morning that his temporary prisoner from the night before, Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), is also his new patrol partner.

Coincidences continue as Danny, an oafish cop-movie fan, is also son to Chief Inspector Frank Butterman (Jim Broadbent), the town’s wily chieftain.

Danny and Frank’s father/son relationship later plays a significant part in fulfilling the comic duplication of one of Danny’s favorite action scenes with Keanu Reeves from Point Break.

Pegg plays Nicholas Angel with an intensity that matches the three-mile squint of Clint Eastwood in his Dirty Harry movies. But Pegg also brings a modern casualness that is disarmingly appealing for its understated comic potential. Nicholas is a loner in love with police work, and the first half of the movie is dedicated to discovering Nicholas’ disciplined mentality as he relates to members of the cloistered town’s oddball citizenry.

Murders disguised as deadly accidents are taking the lives of Sanford residents, and the presence of a shrouded Grim Reaper figure draws Nicholas and his sidekick Danny to suspect local grocery store baron Simon Skinner (Timothy Dalton) of being a serial killer. As the grotesque nature of the apparently random murders escalates, so too does the blood and bullets spectacle that rivals gnarly action-thrillers like Bad Boys II, a movie referenced in one of Danny’s rants about great cop movies.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Don’t you feel safer already?

of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, director Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg have forged a British cottage film industry based on creating energized genre spoofs. Their solid achievements beg a question that Hollywood should be asking itself about the validity of remaking films, as opposed to generating movies that condense and blend genre formulas.

There’s nothing new under the sun, but Wright and Pegg are pumping new life

into cinema with comedies that wear their influences on their sleeves. Their approach isn’t far from Woody Allen’s early films that paid a huge debt to the Marx Brothers movies.

Hot Fuzz runs about 10 minutes too long, apparently because the filmmakers were having too much fun to know when to quit. There are certainly far worse problems to be had with most movies playing at your local multiplex. MTW

ART&ENTERTAINMENT

BY LILIANA BEGLEY LILIANA@MAUITIME.COM

T-Shirt-A-Palooza Maui artists tackle the blank canvas of the classic T I’m way ahead of my time. I’ve always known that a simple t-shirt could be turned into a work of art, but then again, I tend to be snobby like that.

In intermediate school I used to paint endangered animals on my great uncle’s wife-beaters. I could do a mean acrylic cheetah. I’d sit there and paint for a few hours, then steal my mom’s blow dryer to speed up the drying process. Voila! A few minutes later I’d rock out with an original, one-of-a-kind creation.

My peers didn’t quite get the whole thing—they were more into their New Kids on the Block concert shirts.

Losers.

Fast forward a few years... okay, like, eight. I’d go to the little boys’ department at K-Mart, buy a pack of size-12 white undershirts (perfect size for belly-baring) and write intelligent questions like, “Are YOU my Sugar-Daddy?” “Got Money?” and “Nice Shoes! Wanna F*ck?” on them.

Again, I didn’t get many positive results. What’s wrong with people?

Then, a few months ago I started going through old t-shirts and modifying them. I’d tear and slash and tie big sleeping shirts until they were seductive little crop tops of knots and dangling strips. Unfortunately, I am now too old to wear them out in public. So then I found an alternative—I’d find cool logo shirts and cut

them up and then re-piece them together into hip little skirts. Awesome! Fun and functional.

My favorite t-shirt creation is my “rock and roll” skirt—made from six different tshirt panels, including a University of Bass shirt, a Certified Sounds (Hi, Derek Pace!) shirt, and an old Bon Jovi, “We Came, We Saw, We Kicked Ass” shirt from my late-great, hard-rockin’ fatherin-law. This skirt is dope. So seriously dope that I can barely stand it. That dope. Email me and I’ll make you one for about $200.

Anyway, I was quite thrilled when I heard that Cafe Marc Aurel was holding a t-shirt show. Yes! A whole art exhibit dedicated to the marvelous, wonderful, versatile, t-shirt. It’s about fricking time.

Eighteen artists, young and old, from across the island submitted numerous tshirt works of arts. The cafe walls are lined with shirts—cool shirts!

My favorites include: A cute little sheer-ish baby-T called “OHH Mickey” by Brad Huck. It’s this very artsy, somehow French-looking version of the most famous mouse in the world, done with paint and buttons. I can totally picture it with a pair of skinny jeans and flats.

Then there’s this toddler-sized T, with the words, “Are those Real?” painted on it by Peter Hansen. It’s no shocker that this T sold to a mom with three kids.

Another cool shirt had “hijklmno”

(left to right) Peter Hansen, Brad Huck and Pulga

written on the front. I was intrigued, yet totally stumped.

“That one’s by Pulga, a curious South American man with an off-beat sensibility,” Adrianne Martinez, the café’s curator, told me. “It symbolizes water. Get it?

H2O or H to O.” My very favorite is this industrial-looking vinyl shirt that says, “Daddy went to Baghdad and all I got was this stupid Body Bag” by Lish and Levy—now that is genius. And like all things genius, some-

one will find it offensive.

“We had a cafe customer walk out after encountering this glib anti-war piece!”

Martinez said. “It eventually sold to a German tourist.”

There are a ton more shirts to look at, and they’re all for sale. The show runs until April 25. Who knows? You could become inspired to do something creative with those old New Kid on the Block shirts after all. MTW

SECURITY

You’re not the attention-grabber that Aries is, or as needy as an unevolved Cancer, but you still get frustrated when things are never about you, even when they by all rights ought to be (on your birthday, for example). It’d be nice if people stepped up on their own and gave you the love and admiration you deserve, but that’s quite unlikely—not because they don’t appreciate you, but because it’s easy to forget to show it. By all means, give your friends and family a chance to give you a day (hell, a couple hours) that’s all about you, but don’t hate them if it slips their minds.

Instead, graciously ask for (and possibly even arrange) one for yourself.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) After a week away, I’m aglow with the simple pleasures of home: my own bed, a decent cup of coffee, familiar foods, etc. Because you haven’t exactly been similarly appreciative of your life’s simple pleasures, the astrological forces that be are probably going to (temporarily) take them away from you soon. It’s for your own good, so that you’ll be especially grateful for them when you get them back. Since you don’t know how long you’ll have to do without all that good stuff, why not take a moment to properly appreciate it now?

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Graffiti, as an art form, can be brilliant. Too often, though, it’s barely more evolved than dogs pissing on fire hydrants—something only other dogs (or, in this case, graffitists) can appreciate. I wish graffiti artists more often conspired to simply make things more beautiful, interesting and/or thought-provoking for everyone, instead of simply scrawling their personal scribble everywhere.

There’s nothing wrong with what you’re up to; it’s just rather limited. However, what you could be doing is making something that would accomplish that, and more: it would make everyone get your message, not just the person it was meant for.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Pride can be your downfall, Leo. You know this. Although you should be proud of all you accomplished, you’re pushing it a little too hard. Think of how much cooler it is when someone subtly downplays all they’ve done, and later you find out on your own exactly how amazing they are. It’s a million times more impressive than when they just come right out and tell you. Have a little faith in your would-be admirers. They don’t need to be told why you’re great. This week at least, let them figure that out (or not) on their own.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) “You’re late!” If I had a dollar for every time you’re likely to have someone bark that at you this week, I’d be able to take us all out to a very fancy dinner. Don’t sweat your chronic tardiness, though. Perversely, it’s actually a good thing. It means everything you’re up to is going so well, and so enjoyably, that you’re likely to have trouble tearing yourself away to get to the next thing on your agenda. So you’ll probably barely notice when people get annoyed or scold you; you’ll simply be having too much fun.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) My dog’s bored when I take him to work. Yet he’s eager to come with me nevertheless, probably for the lovely walk there and back. Although you’re stuck in a situation that’s lame, there can still be plenty to feel good about; focus on that, and you’ll sail through with nary a psychological scratch nor bruise. For my dog, the tedium of sitting around waiting for me to finish writing is instantly forgotten during the thrilling, scent-filled walk home. You can wreak similar blessed forgetfulness on yourself, too, by focusing on the positives, no matter how tangential. This week, try that.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Why do people adopt annoying, yappy little dogs? Are they deaf? Sadistic? Masochistic? I guess some people just have a phenomenal capacity for making bad choices, that will make themselves and everyone nearby unhappy. Luckily, you have the chance this week to prevent one of your friends from making just such a choice. Tell her to put her credit card away. Don’t let her walk out of the pet shop with a freaky, mean-tempered little Pomeranian. Do it for her, do it for yourself. Do it for all of us.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Let’s imagine you as half of a pair. You’d probably rather die than don a matching set of clothing. You Archers take great pains to retain and maintain your individuality, and your ability to codependently blend into any relationship is virtually nil. Unfortunately, some people might take it personally when you don’t want to conform to whatever they have planned for you. This could be a disaster, but it doesn’t have to be. To prevent any potential emotional meltdowns, all you need do is one thing: compromise.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

TSA is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Here’s the scenario: You’re trapped on an island for months, fearful of the strong currents and predatory beasts all around. Then, overnight, the temperature drops and that dangerous ocean becomes solid ice. It might not seem right or fair that one of your biggest problems is solved so simply and swiftly, when all your various schemes have failed, disastrously. Life’s screwed up that way. At least this time it worked in your favor. Let it go; quit your bitching, say goodbye to your little exile, and run to freedom before the ice melts or you freeze to death.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) In some ways, you’re even more pragmatic than those Virgos or Capricorns. “What’s the point of flowers?” one Water Bearing friend is fond of pointing out. “They just die.” Sometimes, though, it’s better to be impractical, at least to some degree, in order to make someone else happy. It doesn’t have to make sense to you, or even be the least bit reasonable. This time, it’s about whoever you love, and showing them just how much you care. If that means indulging an illusion or simply creating a beautiful ephemeral moment, I’d consider doing it this week, if I were you.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Life is in the details, and you Pisces always pay either too much or too little attention to those.

Sometimes you’re almost autistic, the way you focus on the tiniest things, at the expense of the big picture, while other times you simply miss everything that’s not big, dramatic and attentiongrabbing. Successful Pisces are usually ones who manage to find the balance between these two limited states of being. This week will present a good chance for you to invent a new way to look at the world, one that lets you look at the big picture while getting at least some of the details right.

All you have to do is be flexible enough to grab it.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) When you accidentally bite the inside of your cheek, it’s usually not so bad at first. But then you end up chomping that same spot a few more times that day, each time making things worse. That’s similar to what you’re doing with an emotional problem here: aggravating it (probably accidentally) and making it far worse than it was at first, because you can’t quite leave it alone. If we were talking about an inner-cheek-injury, you could give it a chance to escape your teeth by stuffing a bit of gauze in there. Find something that will work like that here, and just like your self-inflicted mouth wound, the problem will remedy itself.

HOLOHOLOGIRL

My brown eyes, already burning black with anger, were now red from crying. As I sat at my makeshift desk in the living room, I could hear him loud and clear in the bedroom. He’d been drinking Heineken all night and was holed up in there, watching Saving Private Ryan by himself and making M-16 noises while talking excitedly to his brother on the phone.

“Bro! I’m so psyched!” he said. “I am so ready to go back! I need this!”

My boyfriend was talking about the recent decision he’d made to re-enlist in the National Guard. It had been a subject of much contention between us over the past few months—and one that had generally resulted in a stalemate, until last week.

“Babe, I did it,” he’d said then. “And I need you to be happy for me.”

Happy? Was he kidding? We’re in a war that doesn’t look like it’s gonna be ending anytime soon. If he joins the National Guard, a subset of the U.S. Army, he will surely get deployed to Iraq. He could die, become maimed or worse, have to kill people.

“Look, I realize the irony here,” he’d said. “You work for a liberal paper and I’m about to join the army. I don’t agree with the war, either. But this is just something I have to do. They’re going to train me to become a diesel engineer!

And they’re going to pay me and help me get my captain’s license…”

As he went on with his long list of sparkly baits the recruiters threw out for him to take, I found myself sinking more and more into despair. I knew his mind was set—I’ve seen this look in his eyes before and there’s no reasoning with him. To argue at this point would be futile. But I couldn’t hide my woeful countenance.

“Remember when I told you,” he’d said, pulling me closer to him, “that if you should ever get an opportunity for your writing that takes you away from Maui you should take it even though I’d be really sad? Well, I’m asking you to do the same for me.”

I didn’t quite think that was the same thing and I said so, but to no avail.

Then it occurred to me that maybe he’s right. Or at least, I began to see how he’d think it was a good idea. I mean, he’d already enlisted once, before leaving to go on a pro-circuit surfing tour. He’s got tons of energy and is addicted to adrenaline and the camaraderie of being part of a team—a community of likewise manic nutters.

Now he’s getting older and feels like he has no discernible skills. He craves a focus.

But in this moment, listening to him all drunk and keyed-up at home, with one hand clutching the phone into which he’s boasting about firing guns, and another hand holding a half-empty bottle of beer, while standing in front of a TV screen depicting Tom Hanks in an intense World War II battle scene, the tears once again make long, heavy tracks down my cheeks.

I wanted to shake him. I wanted to sober him up. But most of all, I wanted to stop him from making a decision—one more important than I think he understood, and the full extent of which he couldn’t possibly realize.

“But what about your kids?” I asked. “Don’t you think they’ll miss you?”

“I’m doing this for them,” he said. “For their freedom.”

Samantha Campos thinks the world would be a happier place if we all took a bath in Jello from time to time. MTW

CELEBRATE YOUR UNIQUENESS It is in this celebration that I draw my inspiration for a private yoga exchange that helps cultivate the personalized yoga practice we are all destined to enjoy.

I offer a traditional and effective approach where a precise analysis of the physical body is taken in order to create a refined self-practice custom designed to heal and serve you. The nature of this work is highly therapeutic and is therefore also suitable for individuals experiencing physical limitations/injuries. Through the use of specific yoga asanas (poses) and alignment with one’s integrity, we rehabilitate the body. This opens the doorway to our limitless potential for personal growth and the infinite opportunities to create the life we desire.
