Two Years Is Too Long

June 26th marked the second anniversary of the Maui Bulletin workers vote to organize a union. The National Labor Relations Board in Honolulu certified the Hawaii Newspaper Guild as the union representative for Maui Bulletin Workers on July 7, 2003. The workers - advertising salespeople, artists, production and clerical workers — decided to organize a union to fight low wages, substandard benefits, lack of job security and abusive management practices. They wanted a fair way to resolve grievances. Two years later they are still waiting and fighting to get a fair contract. But instead of addressing the workers needs, Maui Bulletin managers, working under strict supervision by their corporate managers in West Virginia, keep trying to hijack the negotiations by insisting on providing unlimited rights for the company and few rights but lots of responsibility for the workers.

The company wants to have the right to:

NEWS

Well I’d only gotten to page 5 of this week’s Maui Time and I already had to respond. First of all, thank you for your editorial about Public Television (“Kill Public Television!” June 30, 2005). I agree there are—and were—some great shows on PBS. However, when I started getting emails from various progressive groups a few weeks ago about “saving Big Bird,” I just wanted to gag. As the mother of a 7 and 8 year old, I have watched a lot of PBS “educational” programming. And while it is certainly better than everything else targeting children these days, I found it rather disgusting that liberal public interest groups were asking me to spend my limited free time to contact my congress people about saving Teletubbies, Clifford, Arthur and Sesame Street. (I have to say I’m particularly disgusted by Sesame Street. It’s changed a lot since I was a kid and become totally commercial—and is more about pushing media than education.) And yes, you’re right—there’s all kinds of corporate, right wing programming on now as well. Anyway, considering issues such as the war in Iraq, Social Security, loss of civil rights, drilling in ANWR, etc.— the campaign to save public television was irritating at best. Here’s a radical idea. Just throw out your TV. That’s what we did. -Shay Chan Hodges, via email

Congratulations on the great article on GMO corn (“Corn Pone?” June 23, 2005). This is such an important subject. I’m glad to see the island’s only newspaper with balls print such a timely article on this crucial topic. Keep up the good work. Your newspaper is great! -Gary Wiseman, Haiku

Ogden Newspapers is headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia. The company purchased the Maui News from the Cameron family in early 2000 and the Maui Bulletin shortly thereafter.

LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR Real” letter that was printed in the June 23, 2005 issue: please do a little homework before making comments that make you look like a “know it all” without a clue. The Maui News is a DAILY PAPER and part of that is to report breaking news. HOWEVER, oh sweet innocent one who loves it all for real, realize that Maui Time Weekly—HELLO—is a weekly publication, and therefore does not specialize in breaking news, but whatever the paper wishes to report on that is of interest to the community. OH AND BY THE WAY, Maui Time Weekly is not in direct competition with The Maui News. Each paper is marketed differently… Take this for what it is... a lesson in thinking things through before opening mouth and inserting foot. Always a great lesson in life. -Anonymous, via email The Editor responds: Actually, the June 23 letter writer was just being sarcastic, which both Maui Time and its parent corporation Maui Time Productions whole-heartedly supports. Also, even though we are a weekly and The Maui News is a daily, on occasion we still compete for stories and advertising dollars. But thanks for your interest! MTW

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

Let me ask you that while you were carrying on your shrieking tirade, did you ever think that maybe others elsewhere on Maui were being attacked and mugged? Whose car was being stolen?

What it’s like to work in Wailuku’s hostess bars whispered something incomprehensible in my ear. I said nothing, then she grabbed my notepad and marched over to her colleagues at the next table. They talked quickly as they looked over my scrawl. Finally my spurned “date” made her way back to my barstool, twirling and bellowing. “I am mer-maid!,” she said. “I have-ah no lek!” As she handed my notebook back she took out a pen and wrote on one of the pages, in Korean, “Goodbye and goodbye.”

At first glace, Lower Main in Wailuku is indistinguishable from any other gentrified industrial neighborhood. Indistinguishable, until you notice the vast proliferation of “Korean Bars” canvasing the neighborhood. Named 7 Pools, Club Starlite, Club Ocean, Club Osaka, these establishments are conspicuously anonymous. The only clue to the nature of these establishments are vague signs advertising “beautiful hostesses” or “Korean dancing.” One night I walked into a place called Hot and Rich. It was completely empty save for three women who gossiped excitedly in tepid Korean. There were glimmering neon lights, pink walls and blaring Korean techno music. It was a tiny, almost cozy place. I was the only customer. “I wanted to name it Paprika, but no Ameri-can can understand paprika,” the owner told me, hanging on my arm. “Then, ah, one day, I am with my bay-bee and we are watching-ah Brues Crews [Blues Clues] every morning. And they have-ah Meestah Salt and Miss Pepper

and they make a baby called Paprika. Can I introduce to nice-ah Korean girr?” I moved on and found myself sitting in the warm bask of shimmering neon. A middle aged Korean woman. “You like-ah Korean girr?” she cooed. Above my “date’s” head sat a television screen showing Korean karaoke. Slowly the hollow letters on the screen became hot pink, as if being filled with air. A man wailed his way through the lyrics like a wounded animal. Middle-aged men stared slack-jawed at the screen from their tables. They looked hypnotized. I ordered a Corona. To my immediate left a group of Korean women sat smoking cigarettes as long as pencils, idly waiting for the next customer. Some of these women were clearly past their prime. Their feet were squished into ill-fitting shoes. They wore skin-tight leopard print outfits and their faces were caked with make-up. The younger girls had long jet-black hair, sleek bodies and angular faces. My appointed companion got bored by my incessant note taking. She leaned hard against me, her breast squishing against my arm. She

Every hostess bar I visited had a ceramic white cat sitting on the bar. The cat was always winking and holding a gold tablet with Chinese script on it. No one could tell me what the cat symbolized. At one bar, I always saw one woman who I called Oma, which is Korean for Grandmother. Whenever I saw her I’d give her a high-five, which she thought was hilarious. She was always eating a bag of cherries. She would offer me some and smile at me. She would just sit there all night. Some hostesses I met had thick Korean accents. Some spoke no English. Some had thick Korean accents, but would slip in Americanisms like “You know what I’m sayin?” or “I’m feelin’ that!” They all carried cell phones with little stuffed animals, canaries, cats, puppy dogs, hanging from a chain. One hostess told me that in Korea she was a writer. She said she liked Saul Bellow, Ayn Rand and the Egyptian poet Naguib Mahfouz. She told me that she had read these authors and more translated into Korean at a university. “When it is slow, I am trying to reading but too dark!” she said. While many of these women are fresh off the boat, some are Korean-Americans. One of them was Soon, who grew up in Denver. “I had to make some quick cash,” she told me one night. “I got locked up, I saw my man hanging out with his ex-girl at a PC Bong [an Internet gaming cafe owned and operated by and for Koreans]. I flipped out and went in with a bat and smashed up some computers. I did three months and now I owe money. Lots. “Some girls get tricked into it,” she continued. “They come from Korea and think they are coming into something glamorous, or they will meet their husband and get citizenship. They end up having to stay for months and months to recoup the bar owners for their plane ticket here. Lots of them are illegal and paranoid about getting deported. Their families think they are in school in America.” I asked her how much she makes in a given night. “It depends on the girl,” she said. “We are like independent agents, except the bar keeps a cut of what we make. How far a girl wants to go is up to her. I don’t touch the

Cunning Lingle What Linda Lingle said about her opposition to the upcoming gasoline price cap during the July 6, 2005 broadcast of her radio show Talk Story with Governor Lingle: “[A]rtificial price controls could affect the supply of gas, because you can’t force a refiner to stay here, or a supplier, and they can go somewhere else.”

What she didn’t say: Lingle really understands the point of view of gasoline refiners and suppliers, and they really dig her, too. For the last five years, they’ve been donating tens of thousands of dollars to her gubernatorial campaign—more than $38,000 since I last checked. And the money’s coming from across the industry: $8,900 from the Tesoro Hawai’i Political Action Committee (PAC); $5,300 from the Chevron PAC; $14,000 from the Maui Petroleum Co.; $2,000 from the Maui Oil Co.; $1,700 from a guy who owns a Shell station in Kahala and so forth. -Anthony Pignataro

THURSDAY, JULY 7 Using today’s terrorist bombings of London’s subway network that killed at least 37 and wounded more than 700 as a pretext, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security raised our vaunted and near-useless threat level from YELLOW to ORANGE, but only for mass transit systems. About three seconds later, our own Governor Linda Lingle likewise upped our own Hawai’i Homeland Security Advisory System Threat Condition Level (HHSASTCL) for mass

transit, which is odd since our great state doesn’t have that many busses or trains— beyond the local tourist trolley and such. In any case, both of these alerts come even though security officials admit that “there is no credible threat” to U.S. infrastructure. Now I know we all want to be “safe,” but how come these London bombings are making us thousands of miles away freak out when other bombings—in Iraq, for instance—don’t cause us to miss a step? According to the website Iraqbodycount.net, during the last two weeks of June in Iraq, at least 206 people in Iraq died from suicide car bombs, mortar rounds or just plain gunfire. Is it possible that we’re all freaking out over London because a bunch of white people got blown up, but we’re perfectly willing to live with Arabs getting blasted pretty much every day? What?

Super bad news for everyone who hoped 2nd Circuit Court Judge Joseph Cardoza would force the Superferry people to conduct a full environmental review before docking a single ferry in Kahului Harbor. Yeah, that is not going to happen. As The Maui News reported today, Cardoza is perfectly happy with Superferry officials’ view that $40 million in state-funded harbor construction is just a “temporary” improvement, which means no Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is necessary. Never mind that the construction work will be permanently changing the harbor or that federal officials like outgoing Haleakala National Park Superintendent Don Reeser have said the Superferry has the potential of making it easier for invasive species to enter Maui (see “Mountain Man,” July 7, 2005). That’s all incidental! In any case, attorney Isaac Hall, who represents the myriad groups

Woohoo—the Guardian Angels are opening up shop on Maui! Says so right in today’s Maui News. Those guys kick ass—um, the Angels, not the News. Anyway, I’d always thought that since this island was crawling with Harleys that the biker gang was already here, but hey, I don’t know anything. I remember back on the mainland once—what? Oh yeah, that’s the Hell’s Angels. So who are the Guardian Angels? You mean they’re those pansy-asses in the little red berets and white T-shirts who run around thinking they’re some kind of volunteer militia? Wonderful. And they were brought here by West Maui Representative Kameo Tanaka? Man, the news just gets better and better. Oh wait, I spoke too soon. The News added that the mighty Angels have already broken up an argument and helped a drunk in Lahaina. Hell, if five of them had pulled over a guy for speeding and wrote a couple tickets for drivers not wearing their seatbelts they would have been indistinguishable from the Maui PD.

Found that Maui County’s Bottle Bill recycling program is just going great. And by “great,” I naturally mean “not at all.” And I don’t mean because some baling machine broke, preventing people from taking in all recyclables except for nickel-deposit plastic bottles. I stopped by the Lahaina redemption center this morning with a couple bags of plastic bottles and found tons of bagged plastic, aluminum and glass, a very nice attendant and no trucks to haul the junk away. What’s more, the guy had no idea when he’d get any trucks. Apparently, residents think recycling is great. Too bad local government hasn’t responded accordingly.

plete honesty and candidness that visitors “clog our crowded highways, drink our precious water, crowd our overused beaches, stress our sewage treatment plants, require fire and police protection and encourage the conversion of ohana units to transient vacation rentals,” local tourism boosters are attacking Maui County Planning Director Michael Foley. The letter “concerned me because it continues to perpetuate the naysayers,” state tourism liaison Marsha Wienart told The Maui News today on the controversy. Now I understand how people like Wienart make their living by encouraging more and more tourists to visit our fair shores, but I don’t recall reading anywhere in the planning director’s job description that Foley must plant a nice big wet kiss on the visitor industry’s ass every chance he gets.

I was unwrapping today’s Maui News when a yellow handbill—the kind usually found folded beneath windshield wipers in the mall parking lot—marked “Federal Employment! NOW HIRING” fell onto the floor. In retrospect, I shouldn’t have been surprised to read that it was from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and that they’re looking to hire more security screeners for Kahului and Kapalua Airports. Or that “minimal requirements” for jobs that could have saved 3,000-plus lives on one midSeptember day in 2001 are U.S. citizenship, a high school diploma or equivalency “OR” one year of security experience, English “proficiency” and the ability to pass a background/credit check. Gee, I feel safer already. But seriously, can’t the TSA—which Congress allows to inspect airline passengers without disclosing the laws they operate under, much like some fascist dictatorships that don’t really need to be named here—think of better selling points to recruit security screeners than pushing stuff like “NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCED REQUIRED” and “Part-Time starting at $13.98 per hour PLUS BENEFITS”?

Sherri Reeve Serendipity in the making Those of you who know artist Sherri Reeve would probably agree that she puts the “S” in serendipity. I’m not certain what is more serendipitous–how I first met Sherri, or the events that led to her becoming the success that she is today. I first became acquainted with Sherri through a surprise phone call one day. “Hi Courtney, this is Sherri Reeve,” she said. “You may know of me, I own an art gallery in Makawao.” Probably not your first guess, but Sherri was calling to set me up on a blind

The letter was written to a friend who would eventually become a buyer at Liberty House and take on Sherri’s first line of shirts. Sherri’s first three shirts would then go national and have record sales. “This opportunity provided me with product to sell at the local craft fairs along with my posters and greeting cards,” she said. “I now had enough product lines with paintings, greeting cards and t-shirts to provide jobs for members of my family in sales and warehousing, and the venue to start creating a product base for my first catalog… which ultimately was a big

LOOKING BACK, SHERRI SEES THAT LETTER AS DIVINE INTERVENTION. “THERE’S NO OTHER EXPLANATION FOR IT,” SHE TOLD ME. “IT’S TOO CRAZY!” date with her ex-boyfriend. I politely declined. But I decided I had to meet the vivacious woman behind the phone call. And so it was that Sherri’s chance phone call blessed me with not a boyfriend, but an endearing friendship. Sherri just has a way of connecting people. Take, for example, Sherri’s colorful array of T-shirts which greets you as you enter the Sherri Reeve Gallery. Wear one of these shirts and you may single-handedly reduce global interconnectedness from six to two degrees of separation. “I’m always touched by the stories I hear about my clients introducing themselves to one another because one of them is wearing my shirt,” Sherri told me. On your next visit to the gallery, be sure to ask Sherri what prompted her to start carrying her artwork on shirts. Don’t be surprised if she answers with a story about a letter she mailed from Boston to Oahu in 1986 that mysteriously reappeared in a ravine in Waiehu four years later.

part of my being able to open my own store.” Looking back, Sherri sees that letter as divine intervention. “There’s no other explanation for it,” she told me. “It’s too crazy!” Still, Sherri insists that her success was not overnight. It was years spent painting at night and on weekends, pursuing the craft show circuit, and marketing herself as an artist that created the canvas for divine intervention to paint upon. Sherri remembers well the days she spent pacing Front Street in Lahaina, portfolio in hand. “Before this success happened, I was in my eighth month of pregnancy, and broke,” she said. “I really like saying that because it lets other artists know that I started with meager beginnings. I didn’t just start out with where I am now. A lot of people walk in and say, ‘Wow she’s been so successful.’ I’m a 15-year overnight success. It’s been years in the making.” And then there’s the support of Sherri’s ohana—her mother, sisters, niece, daughter and friend Eloise Miranda. “It’s been seven years,” Miranda told me.

JUST PLAIN NUTS

LAW IN THE OC

Willie Windsor, 54, of Phoenix has for several years lived as a full-time baby, wearing frilly dresses, diapers and bonnets, sucking on a pacifier, eating Gerber cuisine, and habitually clutching a rag doll, in a home filled with oversized baby furniture. According to a long Phoenix New Times profile in June, the diaper is not just a prop. Windsor said he worked hard to become incontinent, even chaining the commode shut to avoid temptation, and the reporter admitted feeling “disconcert[ed]” that Windsor might be relieving himself at the very moment he was describing his un-toilet training. Apparently, Windsor’s brother, ex-wife, girlfriend and a neighbor tolerate his lifestyle, though no girlfriend has yet been willing to change his diapers. Windsor is a semi-retired singer/actor and said he’s been celibate for nine years.

In 1999, Orange County (Calif.) Sheriff Michael Carona and his former chief assistant Donald Haidl deputized 86 untrained civilians, at least half of whom were their friends or family or political contributors, giving them badges and in some cases gun permits and limited arrest powers, according to a May 2005 Los Angeles Times report. Some of the 86 volunteers are still “on duty,” and the sheriff did not begin to dismiss some “deputies” until a state law enforcement organization continued to complain that the deputies were not qualified for police work under state law.

FAMILY VALUES After a passer-by found two kids (ages 12 and six) dragging suitcases along a rural road near Marshfield, Mo., in June, prosecutors charged their mother, Roxanna Osborne, and her boyfriend, Timmy Young, with child abandonment. The kids said their mother had awakened them, given them $5 each, and told them to pack up and leave. The kids told police that the two adults are drug-users.

UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT While virtually every town along the nearly 20 miles of the Long Beach Island, N.J., seashore has signs warning beachgoers of the dangers of rip tides (according to a June Asbury Park Press story), Long Beach Township does not. Even though experts say that most summer visitors are ignorant of the powerful currents and how to cope with them, Township Attorney Richard Shackleton said posting such helpful warnings may hurt local taxpayers. Shackleton explained that a town generally has no legal duty to warn swimmers of natural conditions, but that once a town attempts to warn, judges and juries will too often find the warnings inadequate and permit a swimmer (or his survivors) huge damages.

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS

JENNY CRAIG NEVER SAID THIS Brian F. Monfort, 27, was arrested in Springfield, Ohio, in April and charged with child enticement based on an arrest report noting that twice, in January and March, he had approached children and paid them money (up to $40) to insult him for being fat, supposedly as a tactic to inspire himself to lose weight.

Justin Breakspear, 18, was arrested in Framingham, Mass., in May and charged with illegal possession of three firearms, one of which was a .380-caliber pistol; police said it was unlikely Breakspear would claim the pistol is not his, in that on his hip is a tattoo of an exact replica of the gun. And in Glens Falls, N.Y., in May, Jason McClaskey, 25, on house arrest, was admitted to a hospital in Valhalla,

N.Y., with burns over 60 percent of his body; police said McClaskey might have tried to burn the monitoring device off of his leg (though McClaskey said he was merely lighting his grill, even though it was 6 a.m., and there was no charcoal on the grill).

PEOPLE WITH ISSUES In May, retired obstetrician Parviz “Peter” Modaber, 73, was ordered by a judge to stay out of Clarke County, Va., following his fourth conviction for taking bags of garbage from his home near Charles Town, W.Va., and dumping them along a highway in Clarke County, though court records described by The Washington Post indicated that Modaber had done it many more than four times. Modaber’s attorney said the doctor held an intense grudge against the state for having suspended his license during the 1980s and that bucolic Clarke County just happened to be near his home. Modaber had been sentenced three times to a total of 540 hours of picking up litter, but a vigilant citizen caught him dumping again less than six months after the third conviction.

GOAT-FANCIERS Goat-hoarding continues as an occasional obsession, with a woman in Saarburg, Germany, evicted in June for sharing her home with 43 goats, and a man in Aiken, S.C., charged with animal cruelty in May for cohabiting for seven years with 200 goats in a house whose walls were gnawed away and which contained 3-foot-high hay stacks saturated with manure and urine. And in June, Kentucky officials selected, as the test site for its terror-emergency procedures, the state’s goat show in Erlanger. Said a state Homeland Security official, “We try to focus on what really matters to Kentucky.”

UPDATE In June, 13 Cuban refugees in a boat fashioned from a 1949 Mercury taxicab were intercepted by U.S. authorities about 20 miles from their destination of Key West, Fla. Based on current policy, the 13 will probably be returned to Cuba. However, in March, Cuban Luis Grass, and his wife and 5-year-old son, part of groups that had been turned back in two pontoonedcar attempts, in 2003 (1951 Chevy truck) and 2004 (1959 Buick), sneaked across the U.S. border in Brownsville, Texas. Since they actually made it to American soil this time, they will probably be allowed to remain.

In Fort Worth, Texas, an intoxicated woman involved in a collision got out of her car to investigate and was killed when a beer truck accidentally rammed one of the cars into her (and the truck driver, too, was found to be intoxicated) (January).

Karl Rove

PHOTO: NANCY KASZERMAN/ZUMA PRESS

Worse than Osama Bin Laden In war, collaborators are more dangerous than enemy forces, for they betray with intimate knowledge in painful detail and demoralize by their cynical example. This explains why, at the end of occupations, the newly liberated exact vengeance upon their treasonous countrymen. If, as state-controlled media insists, there is such a creature as a Global War on Terrorism, our enemies are underground Islamist organizations allied with or ideologically similar to those that attacked us on 9/11. But who are the collaborators? The right points to critics like Michael Moore, yours truly, and Ward Churchill, the Colorado professor who points out the gaping chasm between America’s high-falooting rhetoric and its historical record. But these bête noires are guilty only of the all-American actions of criticism and dissent, not to mention speaking uncomfortable truths to liars and deniers. As far as we know, no one on what passes for the “left” (which would be the center-right anywhere else) has betrayed the United States in the GWOT. No antiBush progressive has made common cause with Al Qaeda, Hamas, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan or any other officially designated “terrorist” group. No American liberal has handed over classified information or worked to undermine the CIA. But it now appears that Karl Rove, GOP golden boy, has done exactly that. Last week Time Magazine turned over its reporter’s notes to a special prosecutor assigned to learn who told Republican columnist Bob Novak that Valerie Plame was a CIA agent. The revelation, which effectively ended Plame’s CIA career and may have endangered her life, followed her husband Joe Wilson’s publication of a New York Times op-ed piece that embarrassed the Bush Administration by debunking its claims that Saddam Hussein tried to buy uranium from Niger. Time’s cowardly decision to break its promise to a confidential source has had one beneficial side effect: according to Newsweek, it indicates that Karl Rove himself made the call to Novak. One might have expected Rove, the

JULY 14, 2005

NEWS

Karl Rove, spy-smasher master White House political strategist who engineered Bush’s 2000 coup d’état and post-9/11 permanent war public relations campaign, to have ordered a flunky underling to carry out this act of high treason. But as the Arab saying goes, arrogance diminishes wisdom. Rove, whose gaping maw recently vomited forth that Democrats didn’t care about 9/11, is atypically silent. He did talk to the Time reporter but “never knowingly disclosed classified information,” claims his attorney. But there’s circumstantial evidence to go along with Time’s leaked notes. Ari Fleischer abruptly resigned as Bush’s press secretary on May 16, 2003, about the same time the White House became aware of Ambassador Wilson’s plans to go public. (Wilson’s article appeared July 6.) Did Fleischer quit because he didn’t want to act as spokesman for Rove’s plan to betray CIA agent Plame? Another interesting coincidence: Novak published his Plame column on July 14, Fleischer’s last day on the job.

If Newsweek’s report is accurate, Karl Rove is more morally repugnant and more antiAmerican than Osama bin Laden. Bin Laden, after all, has no affiliation with, and therefore no presumed loyalty to, the United States. Rove, on the other hand, is a U.S. citizen and, as deputy White House chief of staff, a high-ranking official of the U.S. government sworn to uphold and defend our nation, its laws and its interests. Yet he sold out America just to get even with Joe Wilson. Osama bin Laden, conversely, is loyal to his cause. He has never exposed an Al Qaeda agent’s identity to the media. “[Knowingly revealing Plame’s name and undercover status to the media]... is a violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act and is punishable by as much as ten years in prison,” notes the Washington Post. Unmasking an intelligent agent during a time of war, however, surely rises to giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies—treason. Treason is punishable by execution under the United States Code. How far up the White House food chain does the rot of treason go? “Bush has always known how to keep Rove in his place,” wrote Time in 2002 about a “symbiotic relationship” that dates to 1973. This isn’t some rogue “plumbers” operation. Rove would never go it alone on a high-stakes action like Valerie Plame. It’s a safe bet that other, higher-ranking figures in the Bush cabal—almost certainly Dick Cheney and possibly Bush himself— signed off before Rove called Novak. For the sake of national security, those involved should be removed from office at once. Rove and his collaborators should quickly resign and face prosecution for betraying their country, but given their sense of personal entitlement impeachment is probably the best we can hope for. Congress, and all Americans, should place patriotism ahead of party loyalty. MTW

LC Watch Victory!

Few among us ever get so lucky that they can taste—really taste—the sweetness of victory. Eisenhower tasted it in ‘45 when the Nazis surrendered. The Boston Red Sox tasted it last year when they finally won a post1919 World Series. And the miniature poodle Fontclair Festoon tasted it by winning Best in Show at the 1959 Westminster Dog Show. And now I’ve tasted it. Victory. Tastes great. As a direct result of the intrepid reporting of this newspaper, the Maui County Department of Liquor Control will no longer print jokes—involving dumb blondes who try to repair their dented car by blowing into the tailpipe or not—in the newsletter it sends out twice a year to liquor establishments. Please hold your applause until the end of the column. Acting on a tip from a concerned citizen, Maui Time Weekly chased the LC joke story with unwavering vigor. After first obtaining a copy of the June newsletter Booze Clues—I think I just asked someone at the LC for a copy, and he gave it me—I analyzed the joke in question for signs of insensitivity, eroticism and lameness. As a service to our readers, we reprinted the joke in our June 23, 2005 issue. Apparently, that was too much for one person. “People enjoyed the newsletter,” Silva told the LC’s Board of Adjudication on July 7, 2005, just moments before dropping his bombshell. “[But] we got one complaint on the joke. Somebody read it in the Maui Times [sic] and complained.” As a result, Silva informed the board, it’s all strictly business in the newsletters now. But even at this late hour, with shame and defeat staring him in the face, Silva would not repent. “I thought it was pretty safe,” he said. “Most of them [the jokes] come from Readers’ Digest.”

The door is always hard to find. It’ll be hidden in some alleyway, often times down a stairwell, in a neighborhood you were told to never go late at night. And certainly not alone. The streets are usually quiet, apart from the sound of your heels clicking on the sidewalk and the nearly silent hiss of steam rising up from sewer plates.

COVER STORY

You hesitate, but the cab driver said this was definitely the place to go. And so you enter. Inside, you see a dark and smoky den, dimly lit by the soft light from flickering candles. You spot the occasional glint of bourbon in glass, then look onstage at a glowing sax or trumpet or perhaps a metallic glare from drum cymbals, all set against an unassuming back wall draped in black. Typically, the room—intimate with hushed conversation—is populated by ladies in cocktail dresses and men in ties, all sitting at small, round tables. Some are smiling, their eyes half closed. They nod now and then, giving into the syncopated rhythm and harmonies of jazz. This is a jazz club. There aren’t any like it on Maui. Arguably, there is no “scene,” no nightly venue for locals to gather in sophisticated appreciation of John Coltrane or Miles Davis. There is an abundance of jazz musicians who live here, but there are no backalley or underground speakeasies for them to jam, test their improvisational skills, take risks or just play freely the music that was

at Ka’anapali offers free, live jazz concerts early Sunday evenings. Other resorts book regular shows, but the granddaddy of them all is the Four Seasons Resort in Wailea. Four nights a week, the resort boasts jazz pianist Sal Godinez with accompanying standup bass player Marcus Johnson in their Lobby Lounge. It’s often packed. It’s not your typical dining venue, nor is it a smoky bar. It’s an open-air lobby in a four star hotel that caters to the notoriously rich and famous—reportedly Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee attended one recent jazz night. Somehow, at least on Maui, jazz has become the music of choice at our high-end restaurants and hotels that typically cater to society’s affluent, upper echelon. It wasn’t always that way. Jazz traces its roots back to the American slave trade in the 17th and 18th centuries. Oppressed, persecuted and stripped of their culture, African slaves gleaned what little liberation they could in the form of song and dance, blending spiritual hymns with traditional folk music, using percussion and creative improvisation—what

“pleasant-sounding background music for visitors.” Local hotels and restaurants mainly want instrumental music that won’t distract guests from eating or drinking—basically, from spending money. Some venues have strong holds on the content of jazz being performed, requesting that musicians stick to more familiar standards and tone down stylistic flourishes. One hotel manager even told a local musician not to “make so many faces” while playing. “It’s as if they were saying, ‘Don’t be too artistic now!’” the musician told me later. But how do these jazz pros retain the integrity of a music revered for its power, strength and creative freedom? How do they reconcile the loss of their art for the gain of commerce? Is what they play still jazz? “The secret to playing hotel lobby jazz is to be real,” said Mark Johnston, a keyboardist. “You just can’t be real loud. You have to find what you groove on and you have to play the room. If people are eating, you don’t wanna play some crazy Sun Ra stuff. But it’s up to the individual to offer their vision. You can use

Maui’s paradoxical jazz scene born of freedom. Other than one night at Café Marc Aurel, a coffeehouse and wine bar in Wailuku, and two post-dinner jams at the oceanfront restaurant Pacific’O in Lahaina, there exists only a handful of restaurants—Capische? and Bamboo Chi in Wailea, Ma’alaea Grill, Reilley’s in Ka’anapali—that feature mainly solo jazz pianists. And only during dinner hours. Just last year, Yorman’s By the Sea, a southern-inspired eatery, opened on the ground level of the Menehune Shores Resort in Kihei. It was to feature an actual house band playing jazz standards during and after dinner. But before they opened, condo residents complained about the potential noise to the Maui County Liquor Commission. After two contentious hearings, the commissioners told Yorman’s to keep it down and knock it off by 10 p.m., or else. The LC also suggested Yorman’s play something more “subdued” than jazz. Such actions were unthinkable a mere generation ago. In 1981, the infamous Blackie’s Bar & Jazz Club delighted jazz fans in Lahaina. For 11 years, owners Blackie and Sara Gabarian hosted live jazz three to four nights a week. While Blackie says he preferred the “mainstream, straight-ahead” jazz of the ‘30s and ‘40s, local musicians today fondly recall the creative freedom and support they felt playing at his club. “It was a great time,” says 84-year -old Blackie today. “But I’m a creature of the wind. After a while, I had to do something else.” Today, jazz fans have to go to completely new establishments for their syncopated fixes. These days, the most consistent—and surprising—proponents of jazz on Maui are the big resorts. During the summer, Whaler’s Village

would later build the foundation of ragtime, a precursor to jazz. Their white American owners ate it up. In 1866, Civil War Reconstruction began its winding path of righteousness throughout the South. The goal was to protect AfricanAmericans by prohibiting discrimination. But by the late 1800s, segregation was prevalent, legalized by no less an authority than the U.S. Supreme Court. A little over a hundred years ago, the “Land of the free” was considered one of the most racist nations on earth. And this was precisely when jazz stepped in. Shunned by most of white America at the time, black communities began coming together, socially and politically. They did so with music, one of the only professions that wasn’t closed to them. “Segregation made it possible for further black cultural syncretism to take place, which made jazz not only a viable expression across a broad spectrum of the artistic black community, but also an expression open to experimentation because it was built on the idea of blending,” wrote Gerald Early, Professor of English and Afro-American Studies at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Jazz also became an important barrier breaker in World War I, as black troops who performed in military bands exposed Europe to America’s unique brand of martial ragtime. During the Great Depression, radio jazz lifted the spirits of a nation in hard economic times. Swing jazz provided a physical outlet—that would be dancing—that liberated people, white and black, from the stresses of economic hardship. And yet, in the luxurious comfort of the tropical vacation destination we call home, “jazz” seems to translate into little more than

innovation when playing ‘Girl from Ipanema.’ But [in hotels and restaurants] you don’t wanna change it too much to be esoteric.” Other musicians—taking a cue from trumpet player Wynton Marsalis—prefer to think of jazz as a style of playing music with “a quiet intensity.” Johnston recognizes this as well. “I’ve seen how musicians justify navigating through the difficult territory of lobby jazz,” he said. “And I’ve seen them sit there and very quietly, wail their asses off. Hotel lobby jazz tends to be creamier. But for the most part, I like chunks in my peanut butter.” The lack of a jazz scene outside the hotels and restaurants on Maui is not for lack of talent. There are dozens of professional players who have done the mainland tour circuit, recorded albums, played in major cities and jazz-friendly urban areas and then, like many transplants, tired of the rat race and moved here, finding enjoyment—and work— in other areas. Or as one musician put it, “Jazz paid zero percent of my mortgage.” Many professionals find the lack of competitive venues and the resulting pressures to be refreshing. Still, musicians are a restless lot. Successful keyboardist Gene Argel said that while he loves Maui now, he once considered moving to New York for more gigs. But he said fellow jazz guitarist and keyboardist Shiro Mori talked him out of it. “If you’re a jazz player, you’re going to play,” Argel said Mori told him. “You don’t need a place.” Argel eventually agreed. “You play it ‘cause your life depends on it,” he told me.

I love smoothies. A smoothie is more of an experience than a mere beverage. I love the consistency, taste, freezing cold temperature, healthy attributes and even how they’re so easily digestible. I get feverish and anxious when I’m close to a smoothie. I have to have one. I relish those few suspenseful moments before my first taste and then the moment of truth. The recipe for the perfect smoothie is complex: it requires just the right amount of ice, fruit, flavor, ice cream—or yogurt or soy—and add-ins like protein or vita boosts. Too much or too little of anything will send off alarms in my mouth. Those in the smoothie business know that customers like me make for a tough market. We’ll come back again and again if you consistently get it right. But when I get a sub-par smoothie, I feel a mix of sadness and bitterness. Sadness because I know the potential that my drink failed to live up to. And bitterness because I was holding a pound of unpalatable liquid that I now feel obligated to finish like a champ. Long ago I decided to never lower my standards for anything short of delicious. I think I speak for smoothie lovers everywhere when I say getting a mediocre smoothie can be an emotional experience not easily forgotten. Or forgivable. Smoothies play an important role in Maui. They fit into our environment like surf wax and plumeria. Nothing really quenches your thirst in a hot and humid place like this than a nice tall Styrofoam cup of icy blended pineapple sherbet. Last week I pushed my smoothie love to the limit and patronized the Jamba Juice in the Old Lahaina Center five days in a row, each time ordering a 24-ouncer:

WEDNESDAY Feeling adventurous, opted for the new wholesome Matcha Green Tea smoothie. Don’t really drink green tea that much, but I found it very creamy, unusual, captivating. Protein boost fueled me through six hours of waiting tables, then an hour run.

THURSDAY Same variety, same size, same boost, same sweet effect. So many customers go through there, no one recognized me from the day before. This time my friend ordered a shot of wheatgrass, which is seven servings of lettuce condensed into an ounce. Looked like liquid seaweed. Smelled like a freshly cut lawn. She chased it with an orange wedge.

FRIDAY Decided to mix up. Went for the Mango AGo-Go, this time with the performance boost. Fruity and delicious. Hit the spot. Can’t say the boost affected my performance in any way during the day, but it did really fill me up. More disturbing was that my friend opted for the Mango smoothie, too, but hers was just a little off. Put her in a bad mood until lunch.

SATURDAY Adulterous thoughts won over and I reverted to the Matcha smoothie with the protein boost. Savored every drop. While waiting in line, was transfixed by the girl pureeing fresh carrots into a stunningly orange-colored juice. Made a mental note to try that sometime. Thought for a moment the cashier recognized me from my serial visits, but no.

SUNDAY Saw a little kid drinking a bucket of Peenya Kowlada, sucking it with each step. Smiled, then ordered Matcha once again. MTW

We catch all of our own fish for Pita Paradise. We’ve got a big ‘ole boat. My uncle John—who owns the restaurant—another fisherman and I go out and catch mainly mahi and ono. That is normal for summer and in the winter we catch a lot of bottom fish like opakapaka. I grew up in Maui but my first job was as a busser in a fine dining restaraunt while going to college in Florida. When I came back to Maui two years ago my aunt and uncle—the owners of Pita Paradise—suggested I come work at the restaurant. I started off washing dishes for about three weeks, then learned how to cook. After six months I got promoted to the kitchen manager and I really like my job. I work for about 10 and a half hours a day, about four or five times a week. I usually do all prep during the day and then I cook at night. When I am not at Pita Paradise I also shape surfboards on the side. I think that the best part is that I get to help my family. It is a small place and we are all kind of like family at the restaurant. A couple of us live together. I go to work with them then I come home and hang out with them. We have a really good mix of locals and tourists coming in. Our food is great. Once you eat there, you’ll keep coming back. MTW

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS by Samantha Campos

All Things Aquatic Thursday through Saturday at Maui Community College [MARINE SCIENCE FAIR] Nana I Ke Kumu Nana I Ke Kai (“Look to the Source, Look to the Sea”) is this year’s theme of the National Marine Educators Association (NMEA) Annual Conference in Kahului. It’s a chance for anyone—but especially teachers—to learn more about marine education from hundreds of educators and scientists flying in from around the country. MCC will host more then 200 concurrent presentations at during the afternoons of July 14, 15 and 16. Like working with your hands? Then join one of the many hands-on workshops, demonstrations of classroom activities and sharing of helpful educational resources. Topics covered include getting energy from the ocean, sharks, biotechnology, pharmacology, plate tectonics and a lot of other cool stuff. This is such a unique opportunity for Maui teachers that they actually get to attend all three days of presentations for free. So, if you’re a teacher, you better go! For the rest of you, there are also going to be Marine Science Symposiums, July 13, 14 and 15 from 9 a.m. to noon at the MACC’s Castle Theater. Topics there include wild stuff like “Cutting Edge Technologies” (July 13), “Conservation and Sustainability” (July 14) and the mind-bending “Multidimensional Marine Science Culture and the Arts” (July 15).

Tibetan Memories Saturday, 5 p.m. at Maui Booksellers in Wailuku

Owlriffic!

[BOOK SIGNING] Brandon Wilson is back on Maui promoting his award-winning book Yak Butter Blues: A Tibetan Trek of Faith. The book has already won the IPPY award. The book is a travel journal of Brandon Wilson who, with his wife Cheryl, hiked 650 miles from Lhasa, Tibet into Kathmandu, Nepal. Brandon and Cheryl Wilson were the first Western couple to complete the ancient trek that is now forbidden to Tibetans. Traveling across the Himalayan plains, the couple encountered inhospitable weather, hunger and even gunshots from bandits. The story is interlaced with memories of kindness and the help the couple received along the way. It’s said to be an “intimate glimpse into the lives of their hosts, the generous Tibetan people.” Maui Booksellers will be hosting the book signing and an accompanying Powerpoint presentation of the pictures taken during this nearly impossible journey. After the presentation Brandon will sign copies of his books and chat with guests. This inspiring story is sure to captivate and motivate any would-be adventurer. If for no other reason, read this book so that when you’re old and senile and can’t distinguish between what you merely imagined from what you actually accomplished, you’ll be able to look back and fondly remember your harrowing trek across the Himalayas. Ask yourself, “Can I afford not to live vicariously through this book?” Maui Booksellers is located at 105 N. Market St. in Wailuku. I seriously doubt it. You can preview pictures and a sample book chapter at www.PilgramsTales.com. [GABRIELLE POCCIA]

DAY

Saturday, 7:30 p.m. at the Hosmer Grove Campground [HIKE] Gotta love a hike titled “Owls! Owls, night-stalkers and more!” This is a hardcore night hike through Hosmer Grove in search of the deadly and elusive owl. Okay, so owls are only deadly to small rodents. But rodents have lives and loves and fears just like you and me. To them, owls are terrifying and creepy. Now wildlife researchers have seen Short Eared Owls—named because they, well, have short ears— and even a dreaded Barn Owl or two in and around the grove. Keep in mind that these owls see really, really well in the dark, and have been known to spear mice with its long claws even in nearly complete darkness. The hike is free, but it costs $10 to get a seven-day pass into the national park. For more information, call 572-4459. [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]

John ill advisedly accepts an invitation from Gloria for the boys to spend a weekend at her father’s palatial estate in the Hamptons and the movie finally seems situated to carouse in the pressure cooker of comedy that’s been promised. But the movie takes divergent paths after the group arrive at the Cleary mansion. John succumbs to sentimental romance with Claire while Vince Vaughn’s Jeremy is left to struggle with homosexual overtures from the family’s eccentric son Todd (Keir O’Donnell) when he’s not being physically attacked by Sack or publicly groped by Gloria. John does endure minor sexual abuse from Secretary Cleary’s disloyal wife Kathleen (Jane Seymour) who demands tactile admiration of her recent boob job before turning on her heel in disgust. The screenwriters are smart enough to create a climate of clashing outlandish characters but too inexperienced to know how to write scenes to coerce their inherent comic potential to a boil. Marx Brothers movies sent audiences into giggling fits by taking the same type of culture clash situations and pitting characters directly against one another in layered activity. In the Cleary house there’s only ever one or two things going on at any given time. Once the boys are prematurely evicted from the estate, the movie spirals through multiple false endings that pale with each progression. Wedding Crashers isn’t such an awful comedy as long as you leave after the first 70 minutes. MTW

just that much creepier? Jennifer Connelly stars as the mom in this psychological thriller. She and her daughter move into a new place that seems to be in need of repair. There’s a ceiling leek that drips dark water from the uninhibited apartment from above. 103 min.

BEAUTIFUL BOXER

FANTASTIC FOUR - (PG13) - Action, Sci-Fi - Let’s just be honest. Jessica Alba is smoking hot and the fact that this movie received a PG13 rating for “some suggestive content” is enough to pack the aisles with horny little bastards old and young. The story line is that four astronauts are changed by cosmic rays while in space and attain super powers. One is stretchy and flexible, another can go invisible, another can light up like human fire, and one is ridiculously strong. That makes them The Fantastic Four. Get it? ‘Cause there’s four of them! 123 min.

5 & 7:30 P.M., CASTLE THEATER Here’s irony for you: a young Thai boy wants nothing more than to be female, so he takes the most obvious approach and becomes a kickboxer. This may sound odd, as you don’t generally associate kickboxing with effeminate transsexuals, but to each his or her own. Anyway, the story is based on a real guy who went through this named Parinya Charoenphol. The movie includes a cast of professional Thai and Japanese kickboxers and some dramatic fighting footage. It also promises breathtaking scenery, shot in nine provinces throughout Thailand and Tokyo. At the very least, it’s gotta be a trip to watch all this woven together. In English and Thai with English subtitles. Unrated. 108 min.

New This Week CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY - (PG) - Family/Musical/Fantasy - This Tim Burton adaptation of Roald Dahl’s rather dark and brutal children’s book stars Johnny Depp as famed chocolate magnate Willy Wonka. Yes, I know Depp and Burton do great work. And that Helena Bonham Carter also appears. But come on! Must Hollywood remake every film? Gene Wilder played the definitive Willy Wonka back in 1971! Give me a break!. 106 min. WEDDING CRASHERS - (R) - Comedy - Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn play a couple divorce counselors who cruise weddings looking to score with chicks. But then one of them—does it really matter which?—actually falls in love with the daughter of some strange politician played by Christopher Walken. Then all hell breaks loose.

Now Showing BATMAN BEGINS - (PG13) - Action/Adventure, Crime/Gangster - It’s about time a movie explains the emergence of the Dark Knight into a do-gooder for Gotham City! After his parents are murdered, Bruce Wayne fights injustice in the world, returning to Gotham city as Batman. He uses his strength and intelligence to fight off bad guys. Christian Bale plays Batman in yet another installment but this time they got Batman right, including his infamous skintight leather suit. Val Kilmer was a sure-miss as Batman, and George Clooney was too Chanel-looking for the role of this tough, dark hero. BEWITCHED - (PG13) - Comedy, Romance and Fantasy - Instead of simply making the 1970s TV sitcom Bewitched into a movie, filmmaker Nora Ephron made a movie about making a the 1970s TV sitcom Bewitched into a movie. Except the actress they get to reprise Elizabeth Montgomery’s Samantha (Nicole Kidman) is actually a witch! Not Nicole Kidman—the actress portrayed by Kidman. That’s hot! Maybe. Also stars Will Farrell as the guy who plays the Darrin role. CINDERELLA MAN - (PG13) - Drama - Set in New York during the Great Depression era, this tells the true story of heavyweight champion James Braddock’s (Russell Crowe) rise to stardom. There aren’t any glass slippers or magic pumpkins in this film but there’s a lot of drama, as Braddock struggles to overcome poverty and provide for his wife (Renee Zellweger) through boxing. Directed by Ron Howard, it’s nice to see Crowe back in some Gladiator-type action in this over two-hour long flick. Scary fact: Ben Affleck was going to play the role of Braddock back in 2000, so let’s all breathe a sigh of relief that he didn’t! DARK WATER - (PG13) - Thriller - Did you see The Ring? Did you know that it was based on the Japanese movie Ringu? I watched both and frankly, I liked the Japanese version better. I felt like it made more sense. Anyway, this movie is based on another movie by the same people that made Ringu and it should be just as disturbing. What is it about little kids that make scary movies

GEORGE A. ROMERO'S LAND OF THE DEAD (R) - Action/Adventure and Suspense/Horror - An uprising of the dead in the barren wasteland surrounding a tenuously enclosed civilization? Oh, sure. But really, this is just a classic tale of greed, corruption, zombies and really, really bad decisions. Much like what went on in Ohio last September. Stars Dennis Hopper, Asia Argento and John Leguizamo. HERBIE: FULLY LOADED - (G) - Comedy - “Fully Loaded?” That’s what I’ll have to be in order to watch this flick. A comedy/action/adventure/kids/family/Walt Disney movie rated G (no way!), this movie stars Lindsay Lohan, Justin Long, Michael Keaton, Matt Dillon, Brecklen Meyer, Cheryl Hines, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson. That’s a pretty solid line-up. I loved Justin Long in Dodgeball and Michael Keaton is one of my all time faves. But, honestly, one-and-a-half hours of Lindsay Lohan being all cute, driving a self-minded Volkswagon bug in Nascar is more than l can stomach. I’m sure children will enjoy it. But for those of us who saw the original, what’s the point?, let’s all breathe a sign of relief that he didn’t! THE HONEYMOONERS - (PG13) - Comedy - Ralph Kramden and his wife Alice struggle with money despite Ralph’s attempts at get-rich-quick schemes and a motivational speaker tape series. They have some money saved up, so they decide they want to buy a Brooklyn duplex with their best friends, Ed and Trixie. But whoops, Ralph manages to lose their saved-up money when he mixes it up with another one of his money-making schemes. Why couldn’t he have left the money alone!? Now he’s lost their money and Alice as well. Ralph is going to fight hard to get his marriage and money back. Hmm... maybe sell more tapes? THE LONGEST YARD - (PG13) - Comedy - This remake of the 1974 Burt Reynolds classic stars Adam Sandler and, um, Reynolds again as current and former football star, respectively, who wind up in stir together. They end up putting a team together to play the guards and hilarity ensues. At least, it did back in ’74. Also stars Chris Rock. MADAGASCAR - (PG) - Comedy, Kids/Family and Animation - Ah! Finally a movie with stars we can respect: a lion, a zebra, a giraffe and a pregnant hippo (voiced by Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer and Jada Pinkett-Smith, respectively). See, the animals were all “residents” of the zoo but when one of them disappears, the other three go looking for him and all four end up getting captured, put in boxes and shipped back to Africa. Only, something happens with the ship and the four wash up on the shores of Madagascar, having to fend for themselves after being “cared for” by humans all their lives. Yeah, I know, it sounds fishy to me, too, but that’s just half of it! Also stars (the voice of) Cedric the Entertainer.

A chocolate-covered Johnny? Yumm... school world. Though painfully predictable, the movie features some of my favorite comedians, specifically Megan Mullally (Will & Grace). It’s also got Breckin Meyer (Garfield), Wendy Raquel Robinson (Miss Congeniality) and Horatio Sanz (Saturday Night Live). It should be good for a few laughs and there won’t be much thinking necessary.

ARTS&ENTERTAINMENT

BY HEIDI KING

A Night at the Theater Watching Pump Boys and Dinettes I’m always excited to go to the theater. Doesn’t matter whether I see a movie or a play—I love sitting in front of the stage. If that makes me a theater snob, so be it. I also have a touch of Attention Deficit Disorder; I require real and substantial entertainment to keep me in my seat for more than an hour. I spent more than that time sitting very satisfied at the Iao Theater last week. I was there to see Pump Boys and Dinettes, the new Maui OnStage musical that plays through July 31. Always the early bird, I arrived no less than 45 minutes before the scheduled start. As I went through the entrance a sweet woman in a wispy blue dress—I later found out she was Maui OnStage Executive Director Darla Palmer—handed me a program and a little red raffle ticket.

you, I’m a stickler about these things—Palmer went on stage and introduced the play. I relaxed, and the crowd quieted down. A group of four guys walked on stage. One began speaking to the audience while the rest tuned their instruments and got comfortable in their places. Jim (the character addressing the crowd, played by John Messersmith) explained that we needed to keep our raffle tickets for the chance to win a prize after the intermission. Then they burst into song as the two girls that run the Double Cupp Diner came out and joined the fellas.

The female characters are Rhetta and Prudie Cupp. Brenna Gerke, who plays Prudie, is a middle school teacher from Lahaina. Cat Hayes, playing Rhetta, sports quite a list of past professional performances. Now, the guys were great and I don’t want to take away from their zeal, but Gerke and Hayes blew me away. Their crooning gave me chills. Hayes has an amazing voice and you can tell she’s comfortable onstage. The boys make up a comic group. Jim is sort of the guide throughout the story. Eddie

(Dan Minichiello) is the strong, silent type at the drums. Jackson (Robbie Ray) is the group’s proclaimed “ladies man.” Last, but not least, is L.M. (Les Adam), who looks like a hippie but with The Fonz’s attitude. There were plenty of toe-tapping songs, clever plays on words and a great dance routine by the ladies with lots of interaction from the crowd. The show was long—40 minutes before the intermission and another 30 to 40 after, but I never felt compelled to check my watch. MTW

Pump Boys and Dinettes Written by John Foley, Mark Hardwick, Debra Monk, Cass Morgan, John Schimmel and Jim Wann. Directed by Jim Hutchison. Playing at the Iao Theater in Wailuku Friday and Saturday evenings, 7:30 p.m. and Sundays, 5 p.m., through July 31. For more information, call Maui OnStage at 244-8680. After scanning the seating selection, I found my favorite spot vacant and grabbed it. Always the dork, I prefer to sit front and center. It makes perfect sense: not only was I up close, but the walkway was directly behind me, so no one could sit behind me and kick my seat. I told you, I’m a snob about the theater. They had music playing as I sat down. I smiled as Johnny Cash came on singing, “I Walk The Line.” One side of the stage was decorated to look like a 1950s-style diner, complete with chrome stools sporting red and white vinyl seats. A garage band set up on the other side. All along the front of the stage were microphones, which promised lots of singing. At this point I was ready to give my full attention to the show, but since I had arrived so early I still had a good 20 minutes to kill. To pass the time, I read the entire program, studying the backgrounds of the actors while I listened to the tunes. Since I am such a theater snob, I know that nothing ever begins on time, but I always get frustrated if they go past my 10minute, “Okay maybe our clocks are just set different” grace period. At 7:32—told

SOCCER

Café Marc Aurel - Gene Argel and Shiro Mori, Thursdays, 7-10 p.m., Shimmy Nights with Bellyroll Dance Company, 2nd Friday of every month, 7-9 p.m. 28 N. Market Street, Wailuku near the Iao Theatre.,244-0852.

Just like the rest of the world, people play soccer here on Maui. The sport is popular with all ages and skill levels. Both the field at Eddie Tam Memorial Center in Makawao and the Lahaina Recreation Center hosts youth practices, adult pick-up games and casual kick-arounds. A Lahaina adult co-ed team will reconvene this fall and compete against teams around the island. On the Lahaina turf on Tuesday evenings you can also find friendly co-ed scrimmages that welcome newcomers (especially those with a touch). Plus, you shouldn’t have a problem finding someone to juggle or shoot with on any given evening. Whether you’re a scrappy or finesse player—if you love soccer, you’re not alone.

Mañana Garage – Nightly Neto & Friends, Latin music, 6:30 -9 p.m. 33 Lono Ave., Kahului, 873-0220.

SOFTBALL

CENTRAL MAUI

Brigit & Bernard's Gardencafe - Live entertainment. 335 Hoohana St., Kahului

Softball must be the most inclusive sport out there. For many folks, it’s a major highlight of summer. There’s no pressure to be a fit, physical specimen in this sport. You’re never too old, too out of shape, or too unathletic to play. It doesn’t hurt that there’s no ban on beer in the dugout or even the infield. If your place of work or group of friends doesn’t already have a team, grab a couple bodies and join the league next summer. If you can convince a local restaurant to sponsor you, you’ll even get some sweet uniforms and a place to party after the games. So see if your old mitt still fits and get a taste of America’s oldest past time on its newest state. Some of the best fields are at Ke’opulani Regional Park in Kahului.

Sushi Go - Presents a concept unlike anything on Maui: Conveyor-belt sushi. Live Music every Wed, 4-8 p.m. Queen Ka'ahumanu Center, Kahului, 877-8744.

SOUTH MAUI

SURF

monday07/18 – wednesday07/20

You could put up a net anywhere and people will shoot at it. That is the beauty of basketball. Play it cool with some Knockout, Around the World or 21, or find someone to challenge. And in a match, it’s amazing how much aerobic activity you can pack into just a few minutes of ballin’. Animated games take place nightly at the courts at Malu Ulu Olele Park in Lahaina. Expect to prove yourself to the locals to get some action. Just remember to bring actual shoes besides your slippers.

WEST MAUI

Embassy Vacation Resort – Ka’anapali Beach 104 Ka’anapali Shores, Lahaina, 661-2000 Ohana Bar & Grill: Live music, Thu and Wed; Patrick Major, Fri; Wayne & Friends, Sun; Ernest Pua’a w/ Hawaiian music, Mon and Tue. All sets from 5:309:30 p.m. Torch lighting ceremony nightly.

TENNIS Tennis is hot right now. It’s certainly more trendy than it used to be. Some of the world’s best athletes are redefining the sport, serving the ball at blistering speeds and crushing long-held records. The foundation of a good tennis game is technique, which can only come from persistent practice. Even better, you don’t need to poach at the Ritz Carlton’s spiffy courts to play tennis. As long as you have a racket, you should be able to find an open court in the community. Eddie Tam Park in Makawao’s got a couple courts; so does Malu Ulu Olele in Lahaina. There are four courts at the Kahului Community Center.

Spats: Weeping Banyan Lounge with nightly Live Hawaiian Contemporary Music 6:30-9:30 p.m. Ka’anapali Beach Hotel 2525 Kaanapali Parkway, 661-0011 Kupanaha: Maui Magic for All Ages: Illusions and dinner show Tue-Sat, 4:30 p.m., Kanahele Room; Lanui, live music and dancing, 6-9 nightly.

RUGBY Now, this sport is not for the faint of heart or frail of bone. But if you’re ready for serious bodily contact, this might be the sport for you. Rugby is a blend of soccer and football, minus the pads but with a lot more warlike tenacity. If you watch a match you’ll see a free-for-all of athletic prowess and brute strength. Sound good? Check out Lahaina Rec Center on weeknights for local match-ups. Even at this unofficial level, the athletes play to win and usually end up icing and nursing sore spots after the game. Invest in a mouthguard or at least dental insurance before coming out.

Whalers Village Center Stage: Polynesian Hula Show, Sat, 6:30-7 p.m.; Sunset Jazz Show, Sun, 5-8 p.m.; Dances of Polynesia, Mon, 6:30-7 p.m. and Drums of Tahiti 7:30-8 p.m; Polynesian Hula Show, Wed, 6:30-7 p.m. and Tahitian Dance 7:30-8 p.m. All Shows free.

NEWS

Fine motor control is tricky for an ogre. And since this week the part of the violent, ham-handed giant is being played by you, be especially careful. What you intend as a gentle and friendly critique could easily turn into a fullon evisceration. A pat on the back is likely to crush those you want to congratulate. Turn down your intensity meter 90%. Tiptoe and whisper, or better yet, hold still, and allow everyone to approach on their own terms and in their own time, like timid forest creatures. They’re all fragile butterflies at the moment, compared to you. You could accidentally destroy them with a breath, a touch or a word. You can’t help being an ogre, perhaps—but you can at least be a patient, peace-loving one.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Virgos are generally kind, but your tongues have razor edges when you choose to wield them as weapons (which is, thankfully, rarely). However, the temptation to verbally flay those you despise, oppose or merely look down upon (however secretly) will be virtually irresistible this week. You’ll be nearly as surprised as everyone else when the vitriol simply begins spewing from your mouth. Chances are, you won’t be able to stop this thing. Time for damage control. Steer this baby. Go ahead and give those guys the tongue-lashing they’ve evidently got coming to them. Just try not to say anything that’s going to completely burn bridges. Don’t exceed a light char and you’ll be doing just fine.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Better watch your soul, it’ll leave you like a hundred bucks. So sings songwriter M. Ward, and I’d heed him if I were you. You’re likely to be presented with a myriad of temptations this week, all of which endanger your integrity; something much more important than you think, which you’d discover to your dismay once it became compromised. I’d rather you didn’t experience that dark and virtually irreversible revelation. Keep a tight rein on your activities and the things you agree to. Sleep on any big decisions, and if anyone pushes you to act faster than that, simply say no—regardless of what’s on offer.

TO ADVERTISE Call 661-3786

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Illusions abound this week. For example, we already know our country isn’t nearly as free as it pretends to be (with a higher percentage of its population in jail than virtually any other nation); kids are never as innocent or worldly as they present themselves; same goes for adults. There are layers and layers of glamour all around you; and each one has its own origin and intention. Your job this week (and every week, really) is to unravel these. See through them. Being a master of disguise and deception yourself, you’re more equipped than anyone else I know to pierce these veils and expose what’s behind them.

FAX NUMBER

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) The other night at a club three total strangers approached me to tell me I was a good dancer. They weren’t even hitting on me; as far as I could tell, they had no ulterior agenda besides exchanging a friendly word. This is the kind of thing you can expect (and accept) this week: sweet gestures from friends but also (especially) strangers, for no reason you can (or should bother to) discern. Maybe they’re just trying to improve their own karma, or earn a metaphysical boy scout badge by doing good deeds. My advice is simple, and easy to follow: when someone is nice to you this week, simply accept it. Sometimes face value is exactly what it’s worth.

COVER STORY

DINING

You’ve heard of blue moons, right? You probably know this as the phenomenon of two full moons in a single calendar month. There’s a second kind: when the moon is full in the same sign twice in a row. It’s fairly rare (the next time is in 2008) and pretty intense and important. It’s not just a second chance to fix or finish whatever you didn’t get done last month, it’s an opportunity to up your game, and the stakes. In other words, you’re this blue moon’s star, and it’s last call at the bar, baby. Whatever big thing you screwed up last month, or somehow didn’t get to—do it now.

PLACING AN AD IS EASY!

This week’s theme: Cancer control issues. Unfortunately for your clutching instinct, the big juicy fish you’re embracing at the moment needs to be held loosely. Squeeze it too tightly and it’ll just freak out and wriggle free, back into the vast ocean, where you’ll never find, let alone recapture it again. The only way to keep this baby close is to barely hold it at all. Don’t give it anything to struggle against, or you’ll quickly discover just how slippery those shiny scales are. It’s a tough choice: Will you keep this love close, on his or her terms, forsaking all your own? Or will you decide it’s your way or no way, and force this one to escape forever?

AD DEADLINE

SIGNLANGUAGE

DAY&NIGHT

The suspense (or lack thereof) is killing you. If your life were a novel, these chapters might bore the hell out of you, pertaining as they do to some sub-plot you have no interest in. However, even if you have the opportunity to skip ahead and read the end of the book this week, I beg you not to. You’d not only be missing out on a lot of good stuff (as well as more of this boring crap, I admit) in between, but you’d cheat yourself as well. Let me explain: The ending changes (or at least takes on a whole new meaning) when you have no idea what came before.

WEBSITE www.mauitime.com

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) I’m particularly fond of genre-crossing media. Horror-comedy, western-sci-fi, fantasy-space opera, and so on. This kind of creative boundary-crossing and territory-mixing really gets me off, and works for a lot of other people, too. In other words, you’re in luck, because you’re the ultimate genre-mixer. You can’t help it; you’re in trouble whenever anyone asks you to be just one thing. Thankfully, more people are realizing that being just one thing is as dull as dishwater. All that care you’ve been taking to keep the chocolate out of the peanut butter? Fuck it. It’s exactly that delicious combination we’re interested in.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

658 Front Street

Love and sex don’t always line up for you. It’s special and rare when they mesh well into some kind of cohesive whole. That’s why I want you to treasure this week, because your heart and your genitals are on the same page for once. If you have someone to celebrate this with, well hallelujah. If you don’t, you at least have the chance to actually figure out what kind of person is going to take care of both these parts of you—which will also give you the chance of finally finding him or her.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Lahaina, HI 96761

You don’t usually cope well with disappointment, although you may hide your dismay expertly. It’s gotten so you get anxious whenever anyone promises to do anything for you, because you’re worried they’ll let you down. Luckily, this week, you can let your concerns go. Yes, you’re surrounded by flakes (almost everyone’s flaky compared to you). But every once in a while they actually get their shit together and come through. Relax. This is one of those golden times when people will actually do what they say they’re going to do, and well. Leave them to it.

DROP OFF

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) When your dog comes in from outside reeking of whatever dead thing he was just rolling in, you don’t cast him out of your life forever. You might get annoyed or angry. But you give him a bath, then you forgive him and move on. He’s just being a dog, after all. Why, when an important human you know makes a similar “mistake,” do you consider leaving her by the wayside? Should she have known better? Absolutely. Will it happen again? Probably. Can you live with this? Actually, yes—provided you’re willing to let go of or alter some preconceptions you’ve held onto from day one. Which is it going to be? Do you want to lose some silly ideas, or a pretty great person (who’s just not perfect)?

HOLOHOLOGIRL

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

Nerd Confession #62 I’ve never told anyone this—okay, maybe one person but he’s in China so that doesn’t count—and I’m kind of embarrassed to admit it. It’s an obsession, really, something that I’ve kept remarkably hidden, or on the down low for years. You would never know it by looking at me. Whether it’s hard or soft, I don’t care. Girth makes no difference. When I see the object of my fascination—my addiction, really—my heart pounds, nostrils flare, skin tingles, eyes grow wide and mind races with thoughts too wild to contain. I become possessed. Some might call it a fetish. But it’s probably the single biggest reason why I started working at Border’s Books & Music in Kahului. And still do, on occasion. I have a thing about books. Oh, it’s beyond mere bibliophilia. Sure, reading them is great and all. But I get the biggest rush simply looking up at a 15-foot wall stuffed with ‘em—row after row of spines, generally eight to 10 inches in height but varying in density, color and style. I love to pull down a random book off the shelf and investigate the binding or the way the grooves between the front and backboards slope gently or dramatically, depending on how often the book’s been opened. I love to flip the pages, seeing if the print is too large (inferring simplicity) or too small (tending towards pretentiousness). And if I determine the book is very new and unopened, I’ll smell the pages and just barely open the flyleaf to hear the crackle of glue and paper at the hinges. And I admit, I do judge a book by its cover. I know sometimes the picture or graphic choice says more about the author’s character than the book’s content. Which is not to say I don’t appreciate the merit of romance novel covers, or the chakra and rainbow-heavy covers of metaphysical books. I once hesitated to buy a travel narrative from one of my favorite writers because the cover— the cover, not the back—depicted the author in a horrifically cheesy, “look at me, I’m going somewhere” pose in full makeup, designer suit and top hat. It looked like it should have been an aging Broadway star autobiography. When I first started working at Borders five years ago, I gobbled up advance copies and read everything I could get my hands on. Nowadays it seems I just don’t have the time for that kind of commitment. But I do perform an elaborate—and highly attention-deficit—ritual every time I go in. Of course, I read the back sleeve and jacket flap for story synopsis and to see the infinite ways critics can say the book is readable. The bestsellers and Oprah picks always say “A masterpiece!” on the back, which to me spells boring epic—soon to be made some dumb movie starring Brad Pitt or Renee Zellweger. My favorite part is the Contents page and I always, always read the first paragraph of every book I pick up. During a typical five-hour shift, I perform this biblio-ritual approximately 72 times, depending on which section they have me “working” in. If I am working, you can generally spot me maniacally alphabetizing in Psychology or with my face buried in the Medieval/Renaissance Studies corner, occasionally running over to Literature, but always taking time to scowl at the amateurs perusing cheap, mass-market copies of Tom Clancy or Danielle Steel in the more pedestrian genre sections. Actually, I try not to assess people’s reading habits too closely—if they ask me for the latest David Icke book about alien lizards guiding us from outer space, I won’t balk. I’m just happy they’re reading. And if I catch them taking a deep whiff of page 62, I will be more than happy to give the lovebirds a little privacy. Samantha Campos worked briefly as the lead stand-in for Heather Locklear’s stunt double on T.J. Hooker, but was booted when she got caught scarfing Adrian Zmed’s tuna sandwich from Craft Services.
