e live in troubling times. anxiety is everywhere. the old institutions and traditions that served us so long seem no longer up to the task. uncertainty has replaced, um, certainty. life just five or SIX YEARS AGO seems unusually peaceful and carefree. it is times like these that we look for heroes: those who seem stronger, smarter and braver than the rest of us. heroes who represent the best that we have to offer. , like SUPER CUZ. he s our own local hero. he holds the rich and powerful in check. he brings aid and comfort to the poor and drunken. he fears no monster and, engages in no vice (when he s on the clock, that is. even superheroes need a pau hana now and then). SUPER CUZ represents all the best that maui has to , offer, which is why we ve chosen him to guide you, our loyal, trusting readers through our 2005 BEST OF MAUI ISSUE. , it s a demanding journey, not for , the faint of heart. and you ll need someone like the mighty SUPER CUZ to , help you find what s what. we ran our 160-ITEM BALLOTS for months, and more than a couple of you responded. now at last, here are your choices for best female bartender, safety check, state official, place to dance and all sorts of other stuff. for the most part, you voted well. but there were some who abused the privilege (those who voted for click it or ticket as best use of county funds know who you are). so now sit back, RELAX and enjoy this, our most monstrously biggest issue of all time. please. SUPER CUZ demands it!

1cool BEST BURGER cat cafe

4 BEST PAD thai chef

You readers have validated what I’ve known for eons. Well, okay, maybe it’s only been a year but that’s close enough. Cool Cat has awesome burgers. (The same goes for Jonny’s—and I still can’t solve the debate between these two). They’re not the fancy, $30 burgers with caviar they’re serving in New York. And they’re not the thin, questionable meat-pattied burger you got at the school lunch cafeteria. Cool Cat does it right, with just enough soft bun to cover a quarter pound of perfectly cooked and seasoned beef, crisp lettuce, slices of fresh tomato, onions, melted cheese of your choice and their secret sauce. Like pizza, burgers generally elicit some pretty strong opinions from eaters, so it’s nice to see most of us are on the same page here. At least until next year. 658 Front St., Lahaina, 667-0908.

With one small room and a million choices of food to choose from, Thai Chef is one of the best sit down restaurants for Pad Thai. For some it’s hard to find but when you do finally sit down it feels like some hidden nook in a big city. The food and atmosphere are great but probably the most unique characteristic is that you can bring your own alcohol. Not just beer, either—any kind of booze. It’s nice to go out to eat and have a drink with your food but it’s even nicer when you’re not overcharged for it! Thai Chef is familyowned and run, and all the servers work together as a team to keep the customers happy. All in all, it’s one of the quaintest experiences you can have dining out in Maui. Old Lahaina Center, 667-2814.

, , runner-up: jonny s burger joint. 2291 ka anapali pwky., 6614500. (sc)

2 BEST KIM CHEE ichiban okazuya In Korea they say they can tell if a cook is good from their kim chee, so if you use that as an indicator then the food at Ichiban is number-one, too. Their kim chee is made from won bok cabbage and a special blend of pickle and spices that make it irresistible, as well as a perfect accompaniment to their bentos and plate lunches. Never mind the kim chee breath, it’s worth it. 2133 Kaohu St, Wailuku, 2447276. runner up: kohala brand. located island-wide. (jr)

runner-up: thailand cuisine. 1819 s. kihei rd., 875-0839. (gp)

5 BEST LUNCH stella blues Ah, Stella Blues. You show me a person who doesn’t love the place and I’ll show you a fool. They have a great selection of sandwiches, vegetarian items, salads and sides, as well as plate lunch options and tasty chicken chili. You have the choice of indoor seating, where there is much Grateful Dead memorabilia to be seen or outdoor seating on the lanai that is wonderfully peaceful—for the most part. Stella Blues is a charming, family-owned, non-corporate establishment. And most importantly, the workers are welcoming, warm, knowledgeable, pleasant, hard working, enthusiastic, intelligent and attractive. I should know, because I’m one of them. 1279 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei, 8753779. runner-up: paia fish market. 2a baldwin ave., paia, 579-8030. (hk)

3 BEST BURRITO maui tacos

6sly BEST DIVE BAR mongoose

With burritos anywhere between three and four inches in diameter, a sizable length and so many different choices, Maui Tacos serves a burrito sure to satisfy anyone’s hunger. You can get one with beans or rice, chicken or steak, and for vegetarians there’s also a non-meat selection. Oh, and don’t forget to get it wet. That’s the only way to go. For just a few cents more, you can turn your usual, pedestrian dry burrito into a giant, messy, saucy wet burrito. mmmmm… Located island-wide.

THAI

No matter what town I happen to be in I can always find my way to a local dive. I owe my dive bar radar talents to the Sly Mongoose, a bar that found its way into my heart with unpretentious company, plenty of laughs and professional servers. It’s a place where good friends are made over canned beer and a bag o’ chips. No matter the time of day, it’s always comfortable inside. In all my travels the Sly Mongoose still reigns supreme and wins with our readers, too. 1036 Limahana Pl., Lahaina, 661-8097.

7sansei BEST

SUSHI

One of the easier categories, Sansei has for years served the freshest, best raw fish on Maui. The quality, presentation and selection are simply better than any other sushi joint around. Rolls, sashimi, straight sushi—it makes no difference. I was even there one night when a friend of mine asked the chefs for a special order of some weird roll with eel and cream cheese, and they delivered. Thursday night karaoke-and-half-price-after-10 p.m. nights just sweeten the deal. 115 Bay Dr., Kapalua, 669-6286; 1881 S. Kihei Rd., 879-0004. runner-up (tie): jacques. 120 hana hwy, paia, 579-8844/isana. 515 s. kihei rd., 874-5700. (ap)

8 BEST mr. wine

PLACE TO BUY WINE

We all know there are some good deals at Costco. But thank goodness, most of you realize the importance of service, knowledge and proper storage conditions, when it comes to buying wine. That’s true value, people! When you walk into Mr. Wine, your eyes will feast on columns of reds, whites, rosés and sparklings, and your nose will detect essence of wood and a faintly sweet cigar smell. Instantly, you will be greeted by either Trav Duro—owner of Mr. Wine for over 12 years—or one of his equally friendly wine experts, who will then lead the way into enticing your next, experience-appropriate selection. Wonder what he’d recommend for my next cheese-tasting/mud-wrestling soiree? 808 Wainee, Lahaina, 661-5551. runner-up: wine corner in paia. 579-8904. (sc)

9 BEST DINNER & A mulligans on the blue

SHOW

Dinner shows are hard to come by. So when I got to Mulligan’s for their Wailea Nights show, I was in for a beautiful surprise. It’s a fabulous three-course meal with wine followed by a brilliant contemporary Hawaiian music show. Musicians Barry Flanagan and Eric Gilliom made their impression and set a standard for dining entertainment that will be hard to beat. While you won’t always find the same two musicians, the show always features top entertainers like Barry, Eric and Willie K. 100 Kaukahi St., Wailea, 874-1131

, runner-up: yorman s by the sea. 760 s. kihei rd., 874-8385. (jr)

10 BEST TACO cilantro

SALAD

I take my taco salads seriously. It’s close to a faultless food, with a mix of tortilla, meat and greens. It has to be flavored, fresh and crisp. At Cilantro’s the Mariposa Salad is just that, and so much more. Jicama was made to join with their roasted chicken and avocado. Did you know they rotisserie their own whole chickens there? Delicately spiced, you can order the chicken on any of the dishes. As for the salad, it’s a perfect Lahaina lunch. 170 Papalaua Ave., 667-5444. runner-up: compadres, lahaina cannery mall, 661-7189. (jr)

11bada BEST SPAGHETTI bing

I’m guessing their “One Big Meatball” is the menu item that made Bada Bing the winner in this category. It’s a spherical half-pound of meat doused in a homemade marinara sauce for a mere $9.99. You’ll agree—it’d be wrong for them not to win. But I would’ve never guessed that having just one big ball would put them at an advantage. 1945 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei, 875-0188.

All that’s missing is a fresh meat and fish market here. runner up: honokowai farmers market, west maui. (jr)

13BEST old lahaina luau

Internet Cafe - Free WiFi LUAU

The Old Lahaina Luau probably has the most authentic feel of all the luaus on Maui. Strangers get to know a little bit about one other, and people already acquainted enjoy each other’s company that much more. It might be the Mai Tais, but who knows, with all the employees exuding aloha spirit and warmth it’s hard to not have a great time. It’s also one of the only places in the world where the short tables are desirable. If you pay an extra buck there are seats up front, low to the ground, with pillows for seats and an even more intimate view of the show. The luau provides a feast for the eyes with an elaborate show and some of the most eccentric costumes this side of the Pacific. The seaside setting is breathtaking at sunset and the performances are amazing. From the food and drinks to the drumming and dancing, it’s an unforgettable experience. You will feast under the stars surrounded by heavenly bodies. 1251 Front St., Lahaina, 667-1998. runner-up: feast at lele. 505 front st., lahaina, 667-5353. (gp)

14 BEST PANCAKES tasty crust I don’t know about you, but for me Tasty Crust holds a bit of nostalgia. When I was a young girl I didn’t quite understand the fascination, but my grandpa led me to see that Tasty Crusts’ pancakes are truly divine. “Hot cakes” (as he called them) were his absolute favorite food. And his pick for the best was Tasty Crust. I have many a fond memory of my grandpa’s smile while eating a Tasty Crust pancake. In fact, it’s the same smile you can see today on the face of anyone enjoying the same pleasure. 1770 Mill St., Wailuku, 244-0845. runner-up: ihop. maui mall, kahului, 871-4000. (kh)

BEST Place for Unique & Eclectic Gifts , Maui s

40 North Market Street Wailuku • 243-0005

FOOD STORE

When it comes to selection, value and the ratio of attractive vegans to oblivious tourists wanting to stock up the condo, Mana wins hands down. Food shoppers appreciate Mana as a consistent source for everything healthy, organic and cost-effective, from their mostly local produce, assortment of gourmet chocolates and cheeses, immense variety of bulk, canned and exotic goods, to their deli offering raw food delicacies, hot and salad bar filled with fresh goodies, as well as the vitamin, herb and beauty care room. But Mana doesn’t discriminate against the carnivorously inclined; they also carry more PC meat products, free-range chicken and local beef than any other market on island. The only downside? Accidentally knocking your cart into a really hot windsurfer guy/gal in the sometimes-packed aisles. What? I said oops. 49 Baldwin Ave., Paia, 579-8078. runner-up: down to earth. 305 dairy rd., kahului, 877-2661; 1169 makawao ave., 572-1488. (sc)

FOOD

Everyone on Maui knows the best way to eat Chinese food is family style. Especially with our deep-rooted values of ‘ohana, what could be better than joining your relatives around a big table covered with the most scrumptious Chinese dishes? Nothing at all, especially if you go to Dragon Dragon and you get dishes like the honey walnut prawns, egg drop soup, roasted duck, sweet and sour pork, won tons, Mushu pork and fried rice. Get the family together and go tonight. Maui Mall, Kahului, 893-1628. , runner-up: panda express. 275 ka ahumanu ave., kahului, 877-5645; 1279 s. kihei rd., 879-0883. (kh)

Imagine that you’re sitting at a quiet little table, looking out through Hawaiian flora at the pristine waters of Makena and, in the distance, Molokini and Kaho’olawe. A balmy breeze gently caresses your face while an innovative dish from Chef Todd Carlos titillates and seduces your taste buds. Welcome to Seawatch. Breakfast and lunch items range from $10-$15 and dinner entrees are around $30.

18 BEST NOODLES , sam sato s Noodles, shmoodles. Who doesn’t like noodles!? This place is known not only for noodles like saimin, chow fun and dry noodles but also a delicious flaky pastry called manju, which is filled with sweetened lima beans. Mmm… lima beans. Remember that Sam Sato’s broth is made the old-fashioned way: from scratch. Everything is better from scratch and Maui Time Weekly readers seem to agree! Open Mon-Sat, 7 a.m.-2 p.m. 1750 Wili Pa Loop, Wailuku, 244-7124.

20 BEST jawz

FISH TACOS

Choice is key at Jawz, where you get to decide between ono, ahi and mahimahi for fish tacos, as well as an array of condiments at their almost overwhelming salsa bar. There’s the usual stuff, like chopped cilantro, diced jalapenos and sour cream with avocado. But there’s also tropical fruit and roasted corn salsas, and hot sauces ranging from “mild & tasty” to “holy $@*!!” like roasted habenero pepper with pineapple and carrot, and smoky chipotle pepper. The fish tacos themselves come with Jawz’s mysterious but delectable “special pink sauce,” over a mountain of shredded lettuce and cheese, cilantro rice and tender fish atop corn tortillas. The fish tacos also come in two sizes (more decisions!): reg. for $6.25,

21 BEST ba-le

DESSERT

Roy’s takes the cake—sorry, couldn’t resist—on this one and it should be no surprise if you’ve ever seen their dessert menu. It’s a hard-to-deny list of delectable little treats. There’s the brown sugar crème brulee, served in a small, yet deep, ramekin and perfectly caramelized on top. There were tiny pieces of pineapple and a puff of whipped cream adorning it. But what kind of reporter would I be if I didn’t try the famous chocolate soufflé? One slice into this little bad boy sent the chocolate inside gushing out to mix with the berry sauce and vanilla ice cream on the plate. I think the sprinkle of powdered sugar really pulled it all together for an aesthetically and orally pleasing delicacy. 4405 Honoapi’ilani Hwy, Kahana, 669-6999; 303 Pi’ikea Ave., Kihei, 891-1120.

CHEAP FOOD

Food is expensive these days, so when a place like Ba-Le comes along, broke people like myself rejoice! Ba-Le offers a unique menu, with everything from sandwiches like their Croissant Vegetable Sandwich (a very pleasing $3.75) to Vietnamese rice entrees that are hearty and go for around $7, to their display case filled with a variety of Tapioca puddings. Tapioca pudding? Yup, flavors like banana, papaya, taro and chocolate are just some samples of what awaits your taste buds.

22 BEST toji

24 BEST , roy s

25 BEST RESTAURANT , mama s fish house

BUFFET

Buffet Toji is the champion when it comes to stuffing yourself to the point of purging. Is it the clean and inviting atmosphere? Or could it be they’re the best because they offer 20 varieties of sushi as part of their plethora of Asian cuisine? And more importantly, does anyone care? It’s only $24.95 and they have homemade desserts to boot. Seniors 65 and over receive a 20 percent discount, keiki aged three to 12 get 50 percent off and children younger than three don’t pay. That’s so generous! But come to think of it, how would a kid under three make enough money to go out and eat anyway? 2439 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei, 879-4900.

The best thing about Mama’s is the fact that every day they send their fisherman on a mission to catch the best fish. I mean, what’s Maui without some mouth-watering fish at the dinner table? Mama’s is voted the best restaurant for lots of reasons: its location on a secluded white beach, the elegant and intimate atmosphere inside, its many Polynesian artifacts and oil paintings, the extensive drink menu that includes a wonderful Mai Tai and, of course, delicacies like breadfruit, roasted kukui nut and fresh hearts of palm. Opens daily at 11 a.m., last seating at 9 p.m. 799 Poho Pl., Kuau, 579-8488. , runner-up: horhito s. 41 e. lipoa st., kihei, 891-6394. (lg)

23 BEST FEMALE BARTENDER , katie healy @ life s a beach Originally from New York, Katie’s been on Maui—and at Life’s a Beach—for three years. She says she originally planned to stay for just three months, but fell in love with the island and the freedom and creativity she’s given at Life’s a Beach. For instance, it was her and another co-worker’s idea to put out a 2005 calendar of the bar staff to raise money for the Maui Food Bank and tsunami relief (she’s Miss June). “It’s the best bartending job I’ve ever had,” she says. “When I get behind the bar, it’s like I’m hosting a party. Come one, come all, let’s have a good time.” A great many Maui residents seem to agree. Katie works Monday, Thursday and Friday nights, so be sure to stop by and congratulate her. 1913 S. Kihei Rd., 891-8010.

PIZZA

What is this, like the 27th consecutive year this place has won best pizza? You know, there are other pizza-by-the-slice purveyors on this rock.

28 BEST ICE CREAM tie: roselani/cold stone creamery

r e s ta u r a n t & i n n serving maui for 31 years

Oh, creamy goodness! Who doesn’t like ice cream? Well, actually I do know someone who doesn’t but they’re dumb. Even my lactose-intolerant friends enjoy a bite or lick from time to time! Anyway, Roselani is your local favorite, and you couldn’t help but loooove Cold Stone’s creative confections. It’s okay—I understand, too, the merits of weird ice cream flavors like Wasabi Ginger, Black Licorice and Oatmeal Cookie Batter. I prefer plain ol’ chocolate myself. But I’m always a little skeptical of people who say their favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla. It’s just kinda, you know, so... vanilla.

30 BEST PLATE LUNCH aloha mixed plate The greatest thing about plate lunch is that it’s fast and cheap. Unfortunately, “fast and cheap” doesn’t always taste good. At Aloha Mixed Plate they serve the best of both worlds. The New York Times once described it as a place where “paper plate meets million dollar view.” The food comes out quicker than the Mai Tais can go down. Their kalbi ribs were voted in the 2004 Maui Time Best of Maui as the “best

place to get ribs.” They serve some awesome local food like Kalua pig and pork Lau Lau. Powering up during Happy Hour or watching the sunset, it’s a great place to have a few drinks and a quick meal.

Oh man, the chicken long rice here is so ono. I could come here to Da Kitchen if only to eat the chicken long rice. But the menu is extensive, featuring your favorite local plates, great sandwiches like teri-chicken and fish, plus a great selection of salads like the Chinese chicken. If you want to immerse yourself in some local culture and foods, a trip here for lunch or dinner is in order. Their portions are Hawaiian-size and I can never finish everything on my plate. No matter, leftovers here make an excellent midnight snack. 425 Koloa St., Kahului, 871-7782; 2439 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei, 875-7782. runner-up: aloha mixed plate. 1285 front st., lahaina, 6618330. (jr)

FOOD

Every time someone is new to the island I make a point to get them to eat a spam musubi. Oh yeah, malahini, embrace the spam. ‘Cuz if you are going to acclimate, you are going to eat it. It’s one of our numberone foods. The best spam musubi is found at Minit Stop where they sandwich nori (seaweed), cooked spam and sticky rice blended together for a snack that’s good anytime, but eaten a lot for breakfast. If you can’t get enough of spam, check out the spam recipe contest at our county fair. Located island-wide.

At Fresh Mint, in Paia and Kahului, people who love animal byproducts and those who don’t can sit at the same table and enjoy delicious vegan food. They have all kinds of meat substitutes like soy chicken, beef, fish, and ham prepared Vietnamese style. You will find a lot of curries, vegetable entrées and soy-based meats with sweet, salty and tangy sauces. They even serve Thai iced tea! Diehard meat-eaters are often shocked at how much they enjoy Fresh Mint’s meatless food. We would all like to change the world and vegans, Jah love ‘em, are giving it a great effort, one gourmet restaurant at a time. 115 Baldwin Ave., Paia, 579-9144; 199 Dairy Rd., Kahului, 873-6468.

SANDWICH

“I am sandwich,” said the Mahi (or Ono) Fish Burger from Paia Fish Market. “Hear me roar.” This is the best fish sandwich ever made by a human being. Somehow the fresh, hot fish mixes beautifully with the coleslaw, tomato and grated cheese to produce the most perfect sandwich yet devised.

Their food is excellent, from their giant burritos to their fresh and delicious ceviche. I can’t stop by without having the tortilla soup. Their Caesar salad is awesome, too. You can have a romantic dinner with your amore or a raucous fiesta with friends. Yes, there are plenty memories to be made over Horhito’s margaritas. Don’t have a date?

38 BEST CURRY curry in a hurry Did you guys choose this one because the word “curry” is in the name? Because if you did, that’s pretty messed up. Curry in a Hurry is a reputable establishment—and by “establishment,” I mean “tiny kiosk in the middle of a parking lot”—and they really shell out some great items: black bean chile, Hawaiian coconut curry, Masala and this really good pastry thing with eggplant or mushrooms in it.

39 BEST PUPUS mala ocean tavern Mala is one of the nicest additions to Lahaina’s Front Street. The food is reasonably affordable and the seafood, meats and vegetables are fresh and delicious. They offer a wide variety of alcoholic beverages including a very tasty key lime martini. The atmosphere is casual enough for a pau hana with friends but still sophisticated for a very respectable first date. Either way the food is fantastic.

I couldn’t agree more. And if you’ve got a couple hours to kill after work, why shouldn’t you go someplace like Moose’s, where the drinks are cheap and there’s a good mix of locals and tourists? 844 Front St., Lahaina, 667-7758. , runner-up: life s a beach. 1913 s. kihei rd., 891-8010.

Theirs comes with the perfect mixture of egg and pasta with a little bit of carrot, and they usually have a whole deli case full of it. Takamiya is also chock full of the makings for a perfect barbeque. Try some of their spectacular teriyaki beef and fixings. 359 N.

life s a beach

There’s something about Life’s a Beach that makes you want to do shots. It’s dark but it’s got that beach party vibe, it’s usually chock full of young people lookin’ to have a good time, and... well, it’s a bar. But in addition to the mass abundance of that infamously cough-syrup-flavored liquor, what you readers most enjoy is the suggestive appeal of cute bartendresses who offer the evils of Jager Bombs (Rockstar and Jager), all with a wink and a smile and a “Here ya go, cupcake!” Sure, Jager’s popular here. But if you want to take a walk on the non-Jager side, try a Royal Flush (Crown Royale, Peach Schnapps and cranberry juice), a Washington Apple (Crown, cran and Apple Schnapps) or the shot of dignified drunks island-wide—chilled Patron.

On the menu, they even spell out the degrees of doneness for you—that way, through good communication, you can have your meat just how you want it. The price for these flavorsome cuts range from $25.95 (the pork porterhouse, and the only pork on the menu) to $39.95 (if you want the T-bone), so bring extra money. 900 Front St., Lahaina, 661-8815; 3750 Wailea Alanui Dr., Wailea, 874-8880. , runner-up: outback steakhouse. 4405 honoapi ilani hwy, , kahana, 665-1822; 281 pi ikea ave., kihei, 879-8400.

46 BEST COFFEE starbucks

HOUSE

If Starbucks has succeeded at anything, it’s managing to get nearly everyone and their mother addicted to Frappuccinos and Caramel Macchiatos. Okay, maybe not all of them, but certainly our readers. Starbucks’ relaxing atmosphere and comfortable scent that follows with a caffeine high has made the place very popular. Consistency and reliability—as well as opening 1.7 billion locations—are their key ingredients for success. But truth be told, Starbucks brews a great cup of coffee, serves good pastries and provides a comfortable room in which to sit and relax.

& CHIPS

I think it was John Mortimer—whoever the hell that was—who said, “I refuse to spend my life worrying about what I eat.” Truer words were never spoken, at least in the post-Ford Administration era. And I think I’m speaking for everyone when I say that Mortimer was certainly referring to fish & chips when he first uttered those words. Was there ever a meal so tasty yet so unhealthy? How people can take something as healthy as a piece of fish and turn it into a heart-stopping, artery-hardening delicacy is one of the mysteries of our time. Also, French fries are pretty bad for you, too. Nonetheless, Alexander’s serves up a good basket. 840 Waine’e St., Lahaina, 667-9009; 1913 S.

You know, when I was about nine years old, I would have whole-heartedly agreed that Tony Roma’s served the best rack of ribs on Maui. But now that I’m mostly an adult, not so much. Tony Roma’s is a chow hall compared to some rib joints—Kahului Ale House, for instance. Aloha Mixed Plate makes fine ribs. So does the Pulehu Shack in Wailuku, if you don’t mind eating at home or in your car. The point is that there’s simply no excuse on Maui or anywhere else in the world to look to Tony Roma’s for ribs. , runner-up: outback steakhouse. 4405 honoapi ilani hwy, , kahana, 665-1822; 281 pi ikea ave., kihei, 879-8400.

It offers traditional breakfast and lunch fare at reasonable prices, casual yet quality service, and the best oceanside location ever, with spectacular views of Napili Bay and Molokai. This locale is especially impressive during humpback whale season. And of course, the salt air wafting through the shaded Gazebo can cure even the biggest whale of a hangover, too.

His slow-growth advocacy can be so fiery that once developer Kent Smith tried to choke Holter outside the Maui County Council chambers—a crime to which he later plead no contest.

OFFICIAL

I guess Maui County Councilwoman Jo Anne Johnson is a Republican, but it’s always hard to tell where the non-partisan council is concerned. She’s sat on the council since 2000 and chairs the Parks and Economic Development Committee. She’s most famous for her slow-growth philosophy—opposing the development of Launiupoko agricultural lands, for instance—and she even proposed a moratorium on development in her first years in office. She’s articulate, considerate and consistently endorsed by the good-government Ohana Coalition. runner-up: mayor alan arakawa (ap)

Waimoku falls are truly something to see. But first you have to hike for an hour uphill to get to see it. Makes it that much better. While its 40-foot cascade isn’t the tallest in Maui County, that would go to Molokai’s Kahiwa falls with its 1750-foot cascade, it is breathtaking to observe. As one of the falls at the top of Oheo Gulch, it pumps an average of 37 million gallons of water through its veins daily. Haleakala National Park, Kipahulu, 248-7375. runner-up: twin falls (jr)

His most public role right now is as leader of Kuleana Ku’ikahi, an organization fighting developers from continuing their practice of building luxury estates on the ancient farmlands mauka of Olowalu and Launiupoko—land zoned for agricultural uses only. He’s also in the middle of a five-year term as member of the Maui County Cultural Resources Commission—an ideal setting for his unique and thoughtful perspective on history and land development.

60 BEST recycling

LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE

Since we all know that we live on a finite rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, you’d think that most people would appreciate the need to conserve space in our landfills by making the most of recyclable products. Companies like Four Star Mortgage are doing their part, but mostly Maui lags significantly behind the mainland in recycling—we have no main recycling center yet, no curbside recycling program and no real sense that we need to get these things today, now, immediately. Then again, if we were all more willing to reuse things like glass bottles, cloth towels and bags and such, maybe we wouldn’t have to recycle at all. runner-up: proposed makena resort (ap)

PLACE TO WATCH THE SUNRISE IN HANA

hamoa There is something supernatural about the beaches in Hana. While most of the coastline is rocky, there are a few spots where you can find dark, peppery lava sand leading into the deep Pacific. You will find such a place at Hamoa, where you can dig your feet into the cold sand and observe an ethereal orange sunrise rising up over the blue abyss. You don’t need coffee for this kind of morning. runner-up: wainapanapa. State Dept of Land & Natural Resources, 984-8109. (jr)

62 BEST STATE OFFICIAL governor linda lingle

Back in the 2002 governor’s race Linda Lingle campaigned against the Democratic cronies that packed the Honolulu state government. She won that race, but then wasted no time bringing in her own pals when she took over the governor’s mansion. That’s Governor Linda Lingle. In a state that employs Kaho’olawe Island Reserve Commission executive director Sol Kaho’ohalahala and open government advocate/state Senator Les Ihara, Jr. (D, 9th District), you pick Lingle. You’ve got to be frickin’ kidding. You guys read this paper, right? You see the reporting we do? Lingle is, well, your typical, run-of-the-mill, ambitious politician who says all the right things about accountability and integrity but then acts like just about every other elected official around. runner-up: state senator j. kalani english (d, 6th district) (ap)

66 BEST DEVELOPMENT superferry

Ha! I’ve always said Maui Time Weekly readers were funny, and you certainly proved that here. Saying the Superferry—which outgoing Haleakala Superintendent Don Reeser says has the potential of increasing Maui’s exposure to invasive species—is the best proposed development. To be fair, it may in fact be a wonderful idea whose time has finally come. But we can’t be sure that the Superferry’s advantages outweigh its risks unless we see a full environmental review on the thing—hell, they’re using $40 million in state funds to upgrade Kahului Harbor so it can dock here. The Superferry people say they don’t have the time to do an environmental review, but that rings a bit hollow. runner-up: paia skate park. 579-8354. (ap)

THING ABOUT THE MAYOR

kamaole iii

environmental awareness When Republican Alan Arakawa became Maui County Mayor in 2002, he created the official post of Environmental Coordinator that should have been started long before by his Democratic predecessors. He immediately brought in longtime Maui environmental activist—and 2002 mayoral opponent—Rob Parsons to hold the job, which he still holds to this day. Since that time Arakawa has instituted a “task force” to look into all aspects of cruise ships, joined 131 other mayors in calling on fellow Republican President George W. Bush to embrace the anti-global warning Kyoto Protocals and publicly supported a full environmental review of the proposed Superferry. Not a bad record for someone who’s a member of the political party that often seems hell-bent on paving forests. he beat former mayor kimo apana.

There is nothing more relaxing than heading to Kam III at the end of a hot and busy day with a couple of beers and a beach chair.

PROGRAM

A lot of people think public access cable is only for people who want to see gavel-to-gavel coverage of planning commission hearings, aging hippies debate conspiracies and college kids reenact Star Trek episodes using sock puppets. Public access has all that, sure, but it’s also got a lot of insightful programming. Like Maui Talks-TV, Nikhilananda’s weekly hour-long community affairs show. Each week he goes through the week’s papers, takes calls from residents and just generally discusses important issues of the day. It’s calm, informative and rational.

In this day and age when American men and women are dedicating time to keep themselves soft, smooth and hairless, it’s more important than ever to find a good waxer. Maui Hair & Body has an experienced staff ready and willing to pull hair from anywhere society deems unattractive. Lying in one of the waxing rooms, staring at the ceiling decorated with clouds, flower stencils and soft colors, you can’t help but feel at ease listening to soothing music. Doing their best to keep the pain at a bare minimum, the staff is incredibly thorough and professional in making sure they get all the fuzz. They’ve got pretty reasonable prices and open availability, too. 270 Dairy Rd., Kahului, 877-1500.

PLACE TO CURE THAT MYSTERIOUS , , RASH

Believe me, I know well the vagaries of mysterious rashes. Okay, that sounds really bad. What I mean is, I recently had a strange outbreak of red, itchy bumps on my arms. I didn’t know where they came from and I didn’t care—I just wanted them gone. And so did my frightened co-workers. I immediately tried a cortisone cream, much like what you’d find at Long’s. That worked on the first batch of rash sightings, but then other splotches showed up. So then I went to see an herbalist, much like who you’d find at Dragon’s Den. The herbalist provided more personal care, in an attempt to treat whatever imbalances I had internally to cause toxins to come out through my skin. Now I’m rash-free but I’m sure you’ll agree—a combo of Eastern and Western medicine is generally the best route to take. Dragon’s Den. 3681 Baldwin Ave., Makawao, 572-2424/Long’s.

He keeps up to date on AVN news and even runs a local online broadcast of innuendo-laden hip-hop and rock on kpsx.com, which you will hear throughout the store.

TACKLE SHOP ,

(Tie) maui sporting goods/pappy s fishing and hobby

The minute you step into a tackle shop and start looking around at the things fishermen use to catch fish, the more you realize it’s a bit of an art as well as a sport. There’s the technical side of poles, reels, lines and hooks. The question of what kind of bait to use. Then there are the knots, weights, and hooks meant to entice those fish. Well, if it’s fish you want to catch then a stop to Pappy’s or Maui Sporting Goods is in order. If you’re not so lucky then just stop at the fish market when your boat docks.

Voted ‘ Best’ llery Art Ga On Maui

If you’re looking for a used copy of an out-of-print import re-release of a B-side Tesla extended remix, Request is the place to go. Independently owned and operated, Request’s most prominent feature is their music-obsessed sales staff, who have expert knowledge in every genre you can think of, including underground hip-hop, reggae, prog rock, Americana and Thailand gogo music. These same experts (in Wailuku) also say they consistently keep in stock: “10,474 CDs, a few thousand records in the basement, a gang of videos, a thousand DVDs on super sale, new age and used books, graffiti supplies, incense, hippies, vintage rock t-shirts and Maui’s biggest selection of rolling papers and blunt wraps.” 10 N.

95 BEST LAUNDROMAT lipoa laundry center This is, by far, the greatest Laundromat on the island of Maui—perhaps in the entire Hawaiian archipelago. Sure, it’s like most Laundromats, with acres of washers ($3 a wash for the smaller models, $6 for the industrial-sized machines), driers and nice big tables for folding clothes, but how many Laundromats do you know of that have video games? Hmmm? This one does. And a wall covered in vintage washboards, to give the place a nostalgic feel. Now it’s not an all-night laundry, catering to people who just have to wash their dainty unmentionables at 3 a.m., but it does have a really nice attendant on hand to answer any laundry-related questions you might have. 41 E.

There’s body enhancers like strapless padded bras and pasties to beautiful Hawaiian print negligee sets and peek-a-boo lace teddies.

Plus, with all the traffic they get from their prime spot on Front St., those years are like dog years—each one equals seven. And they’ve tattooed everyone from Shaq to Van Halen.

CANOE CLUB

Contrary to popular opinion, Hawai’i’s official state sport is not surfing. It’s outrigger canoe paddling. And whether you do it for recreation or competition, joining a canoe club can do more for you than working those shoulder muscles. Canoe clubs provide a community of neighbors and visitors who’re generally stoked to incorporate a little aerobic exercise with the chance to learn more about Hawaiian culture, while checking out fellow cruisers like green sea turtles, stingrays, dolphins and humpback whales. Aside from the excitement of regatta season, the Kihei Canoe Club’s biggest focus is clearly on that community spirit. You’ve seen their yellow and red canoes at every beachside event and you know they’re not shy or greedy—instead, they welcome you with open arms into their ‘ohana.

HIKE

At the end of Iao Valley Road, or Highway 32 in Wailuku, is the state park dedicated to a 2,250-foot, natural rock pinnacle and running, freshwater stream that is enveloped by the walls of Pu’u Kukui Crater. It is also a tranquil area, lush with exotic tropical plants and clear, natural pools to jump into—not that you’ll have a chance to be sweaty, this is “easy hike” territory. You’ll probably be more worn out walking up the flight of steps to the ridge-top lookout (where’ll you get a stunning view of the valley and Kahului Harbor) than by following any of the trails here. Ah, yes… that’s my kind of hiking! runner-up: twin falls (sc)

107BEST

FOR SWIMMING

If you’ve been to Baby Beach you would know that it got its name because it’s about three feet deep during high tide, deeming it appropriate for babies to swim.

Haleakala National Park boasts miles and miles of hiking in lava sand as well as freezing temperatures and rocky trails. And it all takes place in a crater reminiscent of some Martian tundra. Oh, and there’s a lot less oxygen than you’re used to inhaling. Yeah it’s a challenge. If you’re planning to spend the night you will need to pack plenty of water, too. Given all this, it’s one of the most humbling experiences you’ll have. One thing for sure, you’ll be jealous when the rangers come by riding on the back of a horse.

BEST THING TO SEE AT MAUI RACEWAY PARK drag races In 1963, drag race enthusiasts on Maui had a Field of Dreams moment. They’d been using the old Puunene military airport unofficially for races but then decided if they built an actual track, more racers would come. And so, Valley Isle Timing Association (VITA) and the National Hot Rod Association joined forces and made the track at Maui Raceway Park legit. Now, MRP also features four other motor sports users and events. But you all enjoy the drag races the best. And I’m wondering… could it be because of the “runner-up” vote? Y’all have one-track minds, I tell ya! Drag Races are held on the third Friday and Saturday nights, starting at 5:30 p.m., February through November.

But nooooo! You sick bastards want to coldly text message your lover from the comfort of home—or maybe the comfort of someone else’s home… sick!—and then carry on with the rest of your day without having the hindrance of actually having to look in the eye of the person who was—not so long ago—good enough for you to bump uglies with for a time.

Keawala’i Church has been deemed the best for taking vows and exchanging rings. It’s a cute little church in Makena overlooking the ocean.

Also, Ti plants are placed around the site to protect it from evil. And that’s just about as romantic as you can get. 1900 Makena Rd., Makena, 879-5557. runner-up: wailea (hk)

124 BEST FISHING SPOT everywhere and nowhere Every coastal spot on the island has the potential to be a terrific fishing location depending on what you’re trying to catch. But be akamai! The Hawaiian people have been fishing for generations and continue to fish for their family dinners. If we let developers take over all of our coastlines, and if nobody observes our fishing seasons, then our coastlines could be barren and the reefs will die. Protect our coastlines and fishing resources at all costs, and that may mean paying attention to what our state and county is up to. runner-up: deep sea fishing in the channel (jr)

There’s nothing fancy or high class about playing pool at Henry’s. But I believe that’s part of the appeal. With its dim lighting, windowless interior, mass quantities of domestic beer and sports-related paraphernalia hanging from the rafters, wall-to-wall bar games like pinball, shuffleboard, two pool tables and a couple of dart boards filling the expansive space and smoke-friendly environment, Henry’s feels like a real biker bar pool hall. Also, there’s a stage with a decent sound system for live bands Thursday through Sunday nights, a jukebox that’s likely to spurt out “Too Shy” by ‘80s new wavers Kajagoogoo, followed by Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water,” and cheap booze. What else could you need? 41 E. Lipoa St., Kihei, 879-2849.

BEACH THAT S QUIET AND SECLUDED

secret beach Secret beach is so secret we can’t tell you where it is. Only that it’s quiet and secluded with soft white sand, turquoise blue water, cool breezes, hammocks and free ice cold beer.

BEACH FOR BARBEQUING

You guys know Maui has other beaches besides Kam III, right? Now I know that Kam III’s vast grassy slopes, beautiful sunsets and sketchy roadside parking attracts hundreds of barbequers every week.

ON THE STAGE...OR ON THE DANCE FLOOR, WE’VE GOT Jazz, Ballet, Ballroom & Tap Shoes Also: Dance, Yoga & Fitness Apparel

Most everyone within the biking community knows that Hawai’i is one of the best places on earth to ride. And so, since 1950, biker clubs have been a-formin’ as an outlet for guys to get together and gittyup on their steel stallions. Plus, they get really cool patches for their leather jackets. Anyway, your vote is for the Koa Puna Club—a Hawaiian motorcycle club with chapters on the Big Island, Kauai and Maui. They’re generally involved raising funds or providing volunteer work for local charities, like the Special Olympics and Toys for Tots. But they’ve also provided Merrie Monarch Festival security for 16 years. They do good work, take up less room on our roadways, use less gas and they wear leather in Hawai’i—you gotta love ‘em!

Think back to your fourth grade civics class, people! You must have meant Polipoli State Park, which is up there on the slopes of Haleakala.

FESTIVAL

This year’s Maui Whale Day took place Feb. 19 at Kihei’s Kalama Park. It’s one of those fun-for-thewhole-family type of events, and the proceeds went to a great cause. It featured live Hawaiian entertainment, a craft fair, children’s fair, food booths, a silent auction, the parade of whales, a keiki whale-a-thon and the Maui Whale Regatta. Next year’s event is slated for Saturday, Feb. 18. All proceeds benefit whale education programs for Maui school children.

KARAOKE

Honestly, what could be better than belting out “What’s New Pussycat?” to a roomful of strangers, after which you sit down to eat a plate of the freshest, most creative sushi at half-price? Twenty years ago, Japanese business invented this now famous pastime, as a means for relaxation and camaraderie among peers. Now karaoke—the translation of which means “empty orchestra”—is seen worldwide, and in some parts (especially here) can be rather competitive.

THING ABOUT THE MACC

No Panties No Piercing Just Kick-Ass

maui film festival Barry and Stella Rivers are the masterminds behind Maui Film Festival, an enterprise that encompasses several cinematic events every year. They’ve got the FirstLight screenings in December, where you get to see the films most likely to be in the running for the Academy Awards. In June, they also do the Film Festival in Wailea, which brings impressive film industry people and a dignified buzz to our island’s arts and entertaiment. But perhaps the most important event the Maui Film Festival holds is every Wednesday night at the Castle Theater and Candlelight Café. It’s probably our only consistent exposure to the world of independent, international and arthouse films on Maui. And we thank the Rivers for our gain in perspective, culture and good times every week because of it. Located at the Castle Theater, 572-FILM.

Award-Winning Handcrafted Beers at Maui’s Only Brew Pub & Restaurant!

NIGHT

Who else on Maui can claim casual deli/coffeehouse by day, romantic Italian restaurant by night, and allout dancetastic nightclub soon after? Casanova, that’s who. We love Casanova—even late night when it’s packed to full capacity, there’s something intimate about the place, a warmth that isn’t just emanating from hot Euro bods. Ladies’ Nights are popular at most nightclubs, enticing females in with preferential treatment, with the lesser sex in hot pursuit. Sometimes, the meat market vibe of these nights can be overwhelming and somewhat intimidating. But the charm of Casanova—its location in sleepy, cool-atnight Makawao, as well as its cozy, smaller-than-the-average-nightclub interior—is that it takes a layer of pretentiousness off an otherwise sexploitative evening.

BAND

153

Your vote for best rock band was formed four years ago by lead vocalist Anastasia Gilliam and guitarist Nils Rosenblad. They combine rock, R&B and blues, playing original music, as well as some covers with their unique twist. And when you see them live, it’s kind of hard to take your eyes off the stage—Anastasia’s powerhouse vocals belies her petite stature, and as ferocious as Nils’ guitar work is, he just can’t seem to wipe the smile off his face. These are people who love what they do, and it shows. The complete band these days features Jerry Byers or sometimes Rebecca Young on bass and Patrick Major or Michael Buono on drums. You can catch them Monday and Saturday nights at the Lobby Lounge in the Four Seasons Resort Wailea, some Wednesdays at Paradice Bluz in Lahaina, and Fridays either at the Ritz Carlton Kapalua or at Longhi’s in Lahaina. For more info, check their website at www.voodoosuns.com. runner-up: willie k (sc)

Hapa’s is home to the winners of at least six categories, including Best Bartender, Best Club Theme Night, Best Musician, Best Hawaiian Band, Best Place to Dance and now, Best Nightclub.

But the great thing about the Crunch Pups is that they put the power and passion back into these popular tunes. You get the comfort of familiarity, with the irreplaceable excitement of live music.

BAND

I have to admit I had no idea who this was until you told me how much you love them. Joyce and Gord are an older married couple—I’m told they’ve either been married 50 years or they just met five years ago— who travel back and forth between Maui and Canada, where they have a restaurant. They play cocktailcabaret-ish jazz and swing standards, with Gord switching between upright bass and sax, while Joyce plays piano and sings. They’ve performed all over the island, including Capische? and the now-defunct, Le Creperié. And I’ve heard they’re quite delightful.

BAND

ORIGINAL MUSIC

The man’s been playing music with soul, aloha, some blues, a little bit o’ country and a lotta rock ‘n roll attitude—and whatever else he wanted to put into it—for years. And it worked, every time. People have been trying to explain the natural wonder that is Willie K for years. But the truth is, if you haven’t seen him play live, then you will never fully understand the depth and breadth of his guitar and vocal work. He inspires awe and girlish worship from even the most hardened and experienced musicians, and oblivious bystanders soon realize they’re witnessing a Hawaiian legend in the making. runner-up (tie): lahaina grown/khrinj/the easy (sc)

It has a big dance floor with stage, sometimes a pole and a cage, too. And most importantly, you will never be without a willing dance partner. Hapa’s appears to be the most dance-friendly throughout the week, what with their somewhat house-y, very gay (and we mean that in the best possible way) Tuesdays, the lovely meat market appeal of Wednesdays, with another DJ night or two during the week. Hapa’s also has the distinction of being the place for visiting DJs, like Mark Farina, Rob Swift and that one hot chick. Also, Hapa’s hosts regular salsa nights—usually on Sundays—that draw quite the crowd of spicy steppers. 41 E. Lipoa St., Kihei, 879-9001. runner-up: tsunami. grand wailea resort, 875-1234. (sc)

Then again, what do you expect from a place that has the word “Artrageous!” hanging on a sign out front? One World is like a lot of the galleries on Front Street, in that visitors are encouraged to hand over hundreds, even thousands of dollars to purchase the works on the walls. But it’s unique in that those works involve a lot more glass fish, ceramic bikini women crawling out of a giant martini glass, dog-head clocks, wire sculptures, bronze golfers and giant, brightly-painted pop-up images of Broadway than your average Lahaina gallery. 816 Front St., Lahaina, 661-3984.

Not a bad choice at all. Mana’o Radio—91.5 on your FM dial—is one of Maui’s more colorful stations. It’s one of the few low-power FM stations in the country, so it’s on a shoestring, but their all-volunteer crew of jocks put some very unique and colorful material on the air. That’s because they all know music, and they’re on the air solely because they love radio and despise canned, corporate playlists. Some, like station manager Barry Shannon, Kathy Collins and Bill Best are veterans; others like Don Lopez had never worked radio before showing up at Mana’o.

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY

Romantic Bomb Cusack and Lane make their mortgage payments consolate people into posting and responding to internet singles ads. Based on Claire Cook’s book of the same title, director Gary David Goldberg (TV’s Family Ties) lacquers the movie with heavy-handed music tracks like he’s spreading five pounds of peanut butter on a half slice of bread. Christopher Plummer sullies his career as Sarah’s widowed father Bill Nolan. John Cusack (Serendipity) seems doomed to forever repeat his teenaged performance from Cameron Crowe’s Say Anything (1989) as an all-too-romantically

The title speaks volumes about what audiences can expect from this vapid formulaic romantic comedy that’s about as punishing as watching a Hillary Duff movie all the way through. John Cusack and Diane Lane work strictly for paychecks in paste-up roles that reflect poorly on the comparable romantic rolls each has played in the past. You’d think being single was the worst thing in the world based on the way John (Cusack) and Sarah’s (Lane) friends and family treat them while pushing the dis-

inclined guy desperate to make an impression on the nearest half-willing, rather than fully-willing, woman around. Contributing to Cusack’s typecasting is the pervasive “sensitive guy” myth that’s still being floated around by sugary writers like Claire Cook who lack the slightest inkling about the male and female romantic paradigm as it fits into nature’s food chain. All women in the myth must conversely be maternal, as we find with Sarah who works as a doting preschool teacher always ready with “emergency pants” when an accident occurs with one of her small students. The crux of the film’s dubious qualities can be summed up in John’s crisis decision to cut in half one the teakwood rowboats, that he’s crafted by hand, in order to satisfy a buyer who wants to hang the vivisected vessel up on his wall as an object d’art. John is purportedly a guy whose unusual occupa-

Guess which one is wearing “emergency pants.”

Must Love Dogs

★★★★★ Rated PG-13/92 mins.

tion is lovingly building outdated racing rowboats that represent his passion, beliefs, ethics and desires. But when he thinks his heart’s been stepped on one time too many, John breaks character and negates his personality entirely. For a guy who watches Dr. Zhivago like some guys watch baseball games the switch says more about the state of author Claire Cook’s self esteem than it fulfills any cogent narrative thread of logic. There are plenty of insignificant haphazard scenes tossed into Must Love Dogs that seem designed to ensure the movie will offend any random audience member on a number of levels. When Sarah unknowingly answers her own father’s personal ad, we’re subjected to an idiotic luncheon date scene between father and daughter that even the editing room floor would have been too good for. Dermot Mulroney (The Wedding Date) stinks up the screen as Bob Connor (read “con her”), a smarmy recently separated single father of one of Sarah’s students, who works his womanizing magic from the plush of his trailer home. Coincidentally, Bob’s trashy abode is a stone’s throw from Dolly (Stockard Channing) the newfound object of Sarah’s father’s affection. The lack of character compatibility competes furiously with the oil-and-water screen chemistry of every pairing that occurs in the movie. Sarah falls for Bob’s toothy line of flirtation and enjoys her only sexual release in the story with him. Even though Bob’s character is set up as a decoy plot obstacle for Sarah to overcome, his goopy brand of insincerity aligns perfectly with Sarah’s pretentious demeanor. Even the dog subplot is a ruse since neither John nor Sarah owns a dog. Must Love Dogs is one movie you don’t need to ever see unless you’re very attracted to cinematic hay. MTW

HOUSE OF D 5 & 7:30 PM, CASTLE THEATER David Duchovny (The X-Files) makes his directorial debut, alongside Robin Williams and Tea Leoni, in this comical and touching story of a man looking back at his childhood in 1970s Greenwich Village that vividly captures the spirit of youth. "Charming" (SF Chronicle) and "Pitch Perfect Nostalgia" (Miami Herald). Rated PG-13. 97 min.

New This Week

MUST LOVE DOGS - (PG13) - Romantic Comedy - Diane Lane plays a divorced woman looking to meet a new man. Her friend, played by Elizabeth Perkins, tries to help by putting her profile on one of the match-making websites. Of course, she’s pretty so she gets tons of responses. And let the dating mishaps begin. Enter John Cusack, everyone’s favorite lovesick male, and gee, I wonder how it works out. Let me guess... Is Cupid afoot? Because, I sense a pair about to fall in love, and everyone shall live happily ever after. I hate you Hollywood. I hate you and your dirty misleading misrepresentations of “romance” in the real world. PG-13. 88 minutes. (Heidi King) STEALTH - (PG13) - Action, Adventure, Drama Three attractive young fighter jet pilots are concerned when their superior adds another fighter jet to the team. The difference is, this jet is its own pilot. In flight, lightning strikes and hits the artificially intelligent jet. (Oh, I didn’t see that coming.) The fighter jet then becomes aware of itself and wants to kill people. The surprises keep coming. Maybe I’m just in a bad mood, but haven’t we already seen this movie before? i.e. A Space Odyssey 2001, Maximum Overdrive, I Robot—you get the idea. 121 minutes. (HK) SKY HIGH - (PG) - Action-Adventure, Family - As the son of the world’s most famous superhero parents (Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston), you can only go to one school. Sky High teaches the responsibility of uniqueness and molds today’s power-gifted students into tomorrow’s superheroes. Well, there’s a problem for Will (Michael Angarano): not only is he lacking superpowers of his own, but he’s not in the ranks of the hero class, and so becomes relegated to being a dreaded “SideKick.” That’s okay, little Will—Robin was a sidekick to Batman and he rocked it out! (Kimberly L. Welch)

Now Showing

BAD NEWS BEARS - (PG13) - Comedy - Billy Bob Thorton plays a former baseball pro (named Morris Buttermaker) who gets a little too aggressive with the umpire and is kicked off the team. Buttermaker finds drinking cold ones and pursuing hot ladies far more exciting than baseball. But he’s brought back into the game when the Little League must accept all players, regardless of their abilities. Buttermaker finds himself coaching the Bears, the worst team in Little League history. (Linda Gampert) BATMAN BEGINS - (PG13) - Action-Adventure 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. (LG)

BEST PLATE LUNCH ON MAUI

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. (Anthony Pignataro) 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 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. (HK) THE DEVIL’S REJECTS - (R) - Horror - I think you should know that this movie is directed by Rob Zombie. That said, you either want to keep reading or you’ve been scared away and want to see Herbie: Fully Loaded. This film continues after the events in Zombie’s first flick, House of 1000 Corpses, with the Firefly family continuing their unforgiving killing spree. Sheriff John Wydell is pissed about his brother’s death and wants to avenge the murder, so he tries to find the Firefly family for a deadly showdown. Hey, it’s got a plot! (LG) 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. (HK) HUSTLE AND FLOW - (R) - Drama - DJay is a Memphis pimp, talented with words but lives a deadend life. Fate helps him out when he runs into an old friend, Key, who is a sound engineer and is itching to make it in the music industry. The two team up together with a church musician who supplies a beat machine. Watch DJay’s transformation as he spits out freestyle raps and heads to Memphis, hometown of the famous rapper Skinny Black. (LG) THE ISLAND - (PG13) - Action/Adventure, Thriller Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson make a yummy pair in this futuristic thriller. The two think they live in a utopian society that’s actually a contained facility where nothing is so utopian. Then they’re picked to go to “The Island,” the last uncontaminated spot on their planet (so they’re told), code for they are going to be killed off. Turns out, the inhabitants are human clones, serving as extras to their original human forms. Never mind the plot, go to see the hot chemistry between McGregor and Johansson. (LG) 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. (Samantha Campos)

MARCH OF THE PENGUINS - (G) - This little documentary is going to make you laugh and cry. It’s amazing how easy it is to relate to the flightless birds. Aren’t they the only animals that mate for life? It seems to me they’re more faithful than humans. (I’m not bitter!) It’s adorable. It’s real. It’s rated G and narrated by Morgan Freeman. It follows a flock for one year, and more specifically one couple, to see how they travel across the Antarctic. Go see something true. 84mins. (HK) MR. & MRS SMITH - (PG13) - Action/Adventure, Romance, Thriller - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie star in this movie that brings domestic abuse to the big screen. Secret assassins they are and now their next targets are each other! Mr. and Mrs. Smith chase each other around with guns, shout out some cheesy lines and then fire off another round. If they loved each other they could just call it quits but this is one messed up case of “I do.” People will go to this movie to see the hotness of Angelina and Brad or maybe for some reassurance in their marriage? (LG) REBOUND - (PG) - Comedy - Martin Lawrence (Bad Boys, Big Mama’s House) stars in this new feel-good flick that’s rated PG. How wholesome of him. Lawrence plays a college basketball coach, who apparently is good as a coach, yet somewhat lacking as a human being. He’s kicked out of the college coaching scene and finds himself bannished to the middle 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. (LG) STAR WARS: EPISODE III – REVENGE OF THE SITH - (PG-13) - Action/Adventure, Science Fiction/Fantasy - The furry and lovable Chewbacca makes his anticipated return to the big screen in the last installment (really!) of the Star Wars trilogy. Get ready to witness the transformation of young Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) into the evil and deepvoiced man in black, Darth Vader (because, let’s face it, without the voice he would not be cool). The rest of the gang is ready for some action as well, including the bearded Obi-Wan Kenobi (sexy Scottish Ewan McGregor, mmmmm), the Senator Padme Amidala and her insane hair (Natalie Portman) and best of all, Yoda! People go crazy for that little green guy, agreed?… Too bad we all know how this trilogy ends. (LG) WAR OF THE WORLDS - (PG13) - Science Fiction/Fantasy - Here’s another end-of-the world, everyone is going to die action movie featuring Tom Cruise. This one is based on the classic H.G. Well’s novel that tells about the battle for humankind’s future. Cruise plays Ray Ferrier, a working class dude who lives in New Jersey, just trying to support his children. His life is shaken when aliens arrive to destroy Earth and he is forced to protect his children. People are so obsessed with the little green guys invading our planet, what about the people who already live here destroying it!? (LG) 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. (AP)

DA KINE

CALENDAR Wood Skin Ink Friday through Sept. 25 [ART] Wood Skin Ink: The Japanese Aesthetic in Modern Tattooing is not your typical high society art exhibit. Nor is it anything at all like a tattoo convention. It is, however, an impressive gathering of leading contemporary tattoo artists—Don Ed Hardy, Takahiro Kitamura and Chris Trevino from America, as well as Yoshihito Nakano, Horiyoshi III and Horitomo from Japan—with Ukiyo-e experts, woodblock print masters and historians in a two-day conference and two-month long exhibition. The Maui event has also attracted the eyes of the international art world in the current August issue of Juxtapoz, an alternative and underground art magazine founded by Robert Williams. “Stars, banners, and anchors may be forever ingrained in the American psyche as the template for modern tattooing, but Wood Skin Ink offers a fresh perspective on an ancient countercultural practice, seeking to educate the public about the history of Japanese tattooing as informed by Edo period Ukiyo-e prints.” The conference runs from Friday night through Sunday evening (check www.huinoeau.com for details). And on Saturday, there’s an all-access, conferencerelated Skin Art Show and tattoo exhibition at Casanova in Makawao. The show starts at 9:45 p.m. and features Vince Esquire & Band, along with MC Kathy Collins of Mana’o Radio. There’ll be prizes for the tattoo expo, including best back piece, small tattoo, tribal, traditional Polynesian, Japanese and more. $10 cover. Wood Skin Ink will be on display Monday through September 25 at Hui No’eau Visual Arts Center, 2841 Baldwin Ave., Makawao. For info, visit www.huinoeau.com or call 572-6560.

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS by Samantha Campos

4-Word

Surfer Girls, Part I

Friday, 10 p.m. at Hapa’s

Saturday, at Lahaina Harbor

[MUSIC] The reggae band 4-Word—as in “to move forward”—is currently recording a new album on Maui and, in the words of lead vocalist Ras Gabriel, will be “utilizing the good music scene” on the island in two performances. 4-word is a six-piece reggae band with members hailing from the mainland West Coast and Hawai’i. The well-mixed band from Colorado, Oregon, Kauai and the Big Island, has been playing together for about 13 years. Despite their decidedly American upbringing, the members of 4-Word uphold the true traditions and message of reggae, performing original music with the occasional Bob Marley and Dennis Brown covers. Picking up on various influences, they make use of guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, harmonizing vocals, and percussion instruments including the Myahbingi drum—the spiritual drum of Rastafarianism—to make their unique sound. They are also cohesively intent on relaying a message of universal empathy and “the world working as one people.” In addition to this weekend’s show at Hapa’s, 4-Word will back on Aug. 12 at Casanova before they wrap up their album and go back on tour in the U.S. [GABRIELLE POCCIA]

[SPORTS] Ladies, it’s time to show your stuff. It’s the 6th Annual Honolua Wahine Surf Classic, where all females aged nine and up are invited to contend in an all-chick, all-skill-level competition. As usual, there are three divisions, including long board, short board and body board. The entry fee is only $30, which also entitles you to receive a contest t-shirt and goodie bag. Part of the proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society for breast cancer research. Trophies will be presented to winners first through sixth place, but there’ll also be prizes for those who place first through third. If you aren’t interested in participating, or you can’t because you’re a dumb boy, you could still be a winner— there’ll be $1 raffle tickets for prizes given throughout the day and you might just take home a backpack, surf bag or surf wear. Be sure to keep those tickets; at the end of the day, the main raffle will take place for a surfboard. For more info, contact Suzie Kauhane at 662-0159. [HEIDI KING]

Surfer Girls, Part II Now through Aug. 26, at the Livewire Café, Lahaina [ART] If you’re in Lahaina checking the surf at Breakwall and happen to stop by Livewire Café for refreshment, you’re in for a treat. The Westside café is decked out with some cool artwork for your eyes to feast on, in an exhibit entitled “Surf Movements.” Check out Joanne dePape’s colorful and dynamic perspective on surfing. And if you, too, are in love with the ocean, Gianna’s Mitchell’s brilliant waves will transport you. DePape started painting when she was a little girl and hasn’t stopped. Five years ago, she moved from Canada to the sunny skies of Maui, where she—like so many others before her—couldn’t help but take up surfing. The result is an inspired merging of passions. “Surfing is my passion—I paint what I’m passionate about,” said dePape. “I will paint when I can’t surf, and surf when it’s good.” Mitchell loves to surf as well and says that the inspiration for her vivid depictions of waves comes simply from “something that just strikes me. “It’s fun for me to paint what I love—surf,” said Mitchell. Both artists have their original artwork on display and for sale at Livewire, for the next few weeks. If you’re able to take a break from the epic (ha ha—sorry, but it’s summer, kids!) surf on the west side, check out the artwork of these two prolific surfer girls. [LINDA GAMPERT]

HEALTH

CALL 661-3786 EXT: 5#

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Puke and get it over with. You’ll feel better, most likely, and it’s certainly better than allowing the dread and nausea to build (and eventually regurgitating anyway). Same goes for the band-aid you’re reluctant to just yank off, or the cold swimming pool you’re hesitant to plunge right into. In other words, don’t drag out the torture. By doing so, you’re only amplifying it. The discomfort (or even pain) you’re doomed to suffer isn’t actually so bad. At least it’s quick and easily forgotten. And by postponing it, you just feed it and make it worse, as well as delaying the sweeter times that await.

You don’t startle easily, or else you hide it well. That’s good, because this week is full of little surprises, and you’d lose major face if you jumped and shrieked like a little girl at every one. Not all of them are bad, luckily— of course that means that not all of them are good, either. But I hope you’re willing to take the good with the bad, and vice versa (all the while keeping your cool, naturally), without undue focus on one or the other. The worst thing you could do is draw conclusions about “the way your life is” from this week’s events. You’re not inherently unlucky or lucky, and the universe isn’t trying to set you up for a shock-induced heart attack. This week, no matter what it seems, isn’t the rule, only a compelling exception.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

classifieds@mauitime.com

The idea of you rejecting freedom in favor of what could be called limitation, commitment and responsibility seems as unlikely as snow in July. In the southern hemisphere, however, July is the dead of winter, and frosty precipitation isn’t so unheard of. Get ready, Sag, your world’s about to get turned on its head. I know I keep harping on the topic, but your ideas about freedom and what it really means are outdated; their revision is long overdue. Forget your teenage concept of autonomy. What you need now is different (and it’ll be different again in 10 years). Don’t give up your quest for ever-expanding horizons. Just keep it fresh and updated. That means not pursuing, out of habit, sour dreams that are long past their sell-by dates.

Even my seemingly indefatigable Labrador will balk at swimming out to fetch his ball after the 150th throw. I think even he’s surprised to discover that there’s a limit. You, too, have limits, even for things you love and want more than anything in the world. You may come up against some of those this week, and instead of being disappointed, I hope you can find some way to feel, I don’t know—relieved? Serene? Satisfied? The list of potential reactions to this revelation goes on and on, and only a couple of items on it are “negative.” For you to focus solely (or even mainly) on those would be a shame.

In Cloud Atlas, author David Mitchell switches effortlessly between voices, emulating different styles to great and dramatic effect. But only the reading is effortless—what’s behind it is actually tremendous research and craft. You, too, have talents that others don’t necessarily appreciate, purely because you make your fantastic feats look so damn easy. People fool themselves into believing they could do what you’re doing, if they wanted to. It’s time for you to disabuse them of those notions, because you’ve been slightly underappreciated lately. This week, you have the opportunity to show them just how talented you are—without being an asshole and rubbing their noses in it. Please exercise it.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

WEBSITE www.mauitime.com

Pisceans appeal to me because you’re the sign I have the hardest time wrapping my head around. It’s nearly impossible for me to guess what you’ll do in a given situation, or even how you’ll react. I like being around you because I’m not (that) afraid of the unknown. Some of the other people in your life, however, are more fearful of things they simply can’t understand. It’s not your job, of course, to make yourself into a predictable clone, just so they can feel safe. But it could be your job to help them feel safe (or at least not terrified) when surrounded by chaos. Consider it your good deed of the week.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

MAILING 658 Front Street #126A-7278 Lahaina, HI 96761

DROP OFF

It’s hard to move when you’ve got the world on your shoulders. You might find yourself feeling embarrassingly limited and completely unable to budge an inch forward, even when your teammates are shouting encouragement from the sidelines and every ounce of your being wants to take that next step. It’s humbling, isn’t it, to come up so hard against your own limits? Don’t feel too bad; no one could move or proceed while carrying what you’re trying to carry. Too much of that weight isn’t your responsibility. Let go of at least some, and preferably most, of it, Aries.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Can you tell the difference between stark raving mad and batshit insane? How about between puritanical prudishness and catholic conservatism? Since all your choices this week are between undesirable and undetectably different shades of gray, I hereby give you permission to abstain from them. None of them are especially important, although the brimstone and bluster surrounding them might indicate otherwise. They’re idiots. You know it, I know it; only they’re still in the dark. Don’t bother enlightening them, they can’t hear that shit. The only thing they’d actually understand is that you’d entered the fray, which is the last thing you want to waste your time doing.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) You’re like the opposite of the princess with the pea. She couldn’t rest because of one tiny irregularity buried beneath her mountain of mattresses. You, on the other hand, have been sleeping like a baby, despite the whole skeleton tucked under your paper-thin futon. Maybe you didn’t put it there. Perhaps you’ve gotten used to it. You might even, perversely, like having it around. But the thing deserves a proper burial, regardless of your comfort. And that, of course, means pulling it out of hiding and letting everyone involved decide what to do with it. Don’t worry, it’s not going to be as bad as you think and, believe it or not—you will sleep much better afterwards.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

HOODIA GORDONII SUCCULENT DIET PILLS Imagine an organic pill that kills your appetite and fools your brain into believing you are full. www.PureHoodia.com (AAN CAN)

What you’re suffering from is a touch of acute spiritual hypochondria. You’re imagining ills that simply aren’t there, or projecting onto minor occurrences far more serious consequences than are strictly merited. I hope you can trust me enough to be relieved by that; your mountains are indeed molehills, at least this time. Treat them accordingly, even if that conflicts with the emotions they elicit. Those intense and out-of-proportion feelings are only temporary, your cool head will prevail soon. Believe me, the alternative—whatever crazy-ass drama arises from those molehills—won’t go away nearly so easily.

It’s rare when you and your fiery cousins, those hotheaded Aries, clash. That’s why you both might be totally shocked by, and unequipped to deal with, this week’s difference of opinions. Neither of you is especially conservative, but nevertheless the roots of your caution may hold you back, for different reasons (as they’re sunk deep into different soil). If you want to amiably end this, don’t try cutting the Rams free from the ideas that are holding them back; they’ll only give ground when you do. Instead, saw yourself free with every ounce of logic and passion you possess. (Or duke it out forever. Your choice.)

You can be pretty scary. But despite that, you often wish for a more formidable (secret) arsenal: switchblades stashed in your boots, nunchuks up your sleeves, and poison concealed beneath a tricky filling in your molar. You don’t need this kind of deadly might, because if you had it, you’d be tempted to use it—and 99 times out of a hundred, you’d wish you hadn’t, afterwards. Stick to the painful pressure of your claw-like grip, the sharp lash of your tongue, and good old kicks in the ass to get your way—the consequences for these, if you regret them, are a lot easier to fix and get over.
