COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

HYPA LOCAL These days, reporting grim economic news is the very definition of “fish in a barrel”; there’s just no sport in it. The latest example comes courtesy of the Hawaii Automobile Dealers Association. HADA’s second quarter report, which draws data from Mainland-based AutoCount, shows that statewide, new vehicle registrations fell more than 34 percent compared to the same period in 2008, while Maui took an even bigger beating—a whopping 46 percent drop (or “cataclysmic nosedive,” whatever you prefer). Undaunted, the new Mercedes-Benz dealership in Kahului held a gala grand opening last week, replete with bubbly and pupus, according to a Maui News account. Plans for the dealership were first announced in March 2008, but various snags deprived Mauians of a place to purchase garishly expensive luxury cars—until now. So hey, good news after all! Not for you, but, you know, for rich people… Congrats to the Central East Maui Little League squad, which won state this week on Oahu and now heads to California, where another tournament victory would put the team in the Little League World Series. Good luck, dudes…

LOCAL The USS Hawaii made its much-ballyhooed arrival on Oahu July 24. In addition to platitudes from Gov. Lingle and other photo-op-seeking hoity-toitys, the vessel was greeted by three F-15 fighter jets, which did an

obligatory flyover. Figure each of those fighters cost about $30 million, add the $2.5 billion that was reportedly poured into the USS Hawaii and you’ve got yourself more than $3 billion in taxpayer money hard at work. And that’s not even factoring in the cost of the giant lei they draped around the sub… Another victim of the budget crunch: The Kulani Correctional Facility on the Big Island is being shut down by the state. According to a Pacific Business News report, the prison houses 123 male inmates, all of whom will be transferred to neighbor island facilities. Exactly how many, if any, will be coming to Maui is unclear; calls to the Hawaii Department of Public Safety (which oversees corrections) had not been returned at press time… To say the “controversy” surrounding Obama’s birth certificate is getting old is like saying arsenic tastes funny. But on we go. Despite repeated investigations, all of which have concluded that the President was indeed born on Oahu (hell, Lingle has even said it), we had to go through it all again this week. And once again, the Hawaii Department of Health said: yep, he’s a citizen, now shut up about it (or something like that). As he does with most overblown political scandals, The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart hit it on the head with satirical precision: “Oh my God! Barack Obama is running the old Kenyanprince-birth-announcement scam. Here’s how it goes: You want to destroy America from the inside, but you can’t, because you’re a foreigner. So first, you’ve gotta find yourself a good old American willing to reproduce with you. Then, you have that child on foreign soil, while simultaneously placing the birth announcement for that child in one of our ‘fringe states’’ local newspapers….Then, you wait until this baby is a middle aged man. Now the trap is set—you just sit back and let that child go out and win the election for President of the United States.” Diabolical, isn’t it?…

Lame duck huntin.’ and Elephants have pissed in the pool… On July 26, Sarah Palin made it official, stepping down as governor of Alaska to spend more time with her lucrative speaking engagements. Her desultory farewell speech was bursting with quotable, fauxfolksy Palinisms and featured a few pre-

dictable shots at the liberal elite gotcha media. But here’s my favorite line: “It is because I love Alaska this much…that I feel it is my duty to avoid the unproductive, typical, politics as usual, lame duck session in one’s last year in office.” Hear that, Lingle? MTW

NOT LOCAL The American healthcare system is broken. That disturbing fact (and yes, it’s a fact) impacts us all, regardless of political affiliation. Yet politicians on both sides of the aisle have succeeded in making healthcare a partisan issue, one they can cynically use to score points and tip elections. Take the results of a recent Zogby International poll, which found that 49 percent of respondents supported a public/private healthcare plan that would cover all Americans, with 48 percent opposed. Here’s the telling part: 86 percent of Democrats fell in the “support” column, joined by just 11 percent of Republicans. I’m not here to debate the efficacy of one plan over another; that’s for another time. But when you see opinions about anything split that evenly along party lines, you know the Donkeys

Oh, pioneers Honoring the mixed legacy of Maui’s plantation era hen the last Pioneer Mill Company building in Lahaina was torn down in 2006, an important piece of Maui’s history went with it. Well, almost. The structures may be gone, but various groups, including the Lahaina Restoration Foundation (LRF), want to make sure the stories imbued within them aren’t forgotten. Beginning Thursday, July 30, LRF will present a three-day event aimed at celebrating the legacy of plantation era workers, and raising funds to rebuild the top portion of the old smokestack. There will be entertainment, food, a keiki zone, etc., but the man thrust will be remembering—and preserving—a piece of Hawaii’s past. “The response from the community has been overwhelming,” says LRF Executive Director Theo Morrison. “When the plantation closed [in 1999] they just closed. There was no event, no recognition of people’s lives.” During its 139-year existence, the Pioneer Mill employed thousands of

JULY 30, 2009

people, whose disparate cultural backgrounds represented the growing diversity that would come to define the island. Morrison says the mixed plate lunch was born out of this period, when workers who didn’t speak the same language shared something everyone can understand: food.

Morrison acknowledges the plantation’s complex, checkered history, which includes the exploitation of workers and adverse impacts on Native Hawaiian culture. “There was a downside. They took all the water from the Hawaiian homesteads,” Morrison says.

The plantation has a checkered history, which includes the exploitation of workers and adverse impacts on Native Hawaiian culture. For the event, LRF has asked people to bring in plantation era artifacts. Morrison says they’ve been inundated—to the point where they’re considering opening a museum on the West side to give these buried treasures a permanent home. “These things have been sitting in people’s houses, maybe being thought of as junk,” says Morrison. “But now people are starting to see the importance of this era, which is going away in our lifetime.”

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

“And yes, there was hard work [for] low wages. They brought in different ethnic groups so they wouldn’t organize, although they ended up forming a union anyway.” Morrison says the point isn’t to celebrate the plantation as a company or to conjure up nostalgia for the Mill’s business practices. “It’s about people,” she says. “People who overcame all this and created a sense of community.”

If she needed proof that Mauians want to keep the memory of plantation workers alive, Morrison says she’s gotten it in the form of impassioned feedback. A letter from a woman who contributed to the rebuilding of the smokestack reads: “Thank you so much for doing this project. I’m buying a brick in memory of my son, who recently died. He was the last employee to leave the mill; he welded the gate shut.” That people-oriented approach, Morrison says, is in keeping with LRF’s mission. “My whole thing is about people,” she says. “Prior to me, [LRF] was about buildings. Just preserving a building is fine, but for me, that’s not the goal. The goal is to educate people. People need to see it and learn from it, so they’ll go out and understand the value of preserving buildings, the value of history.” MTW The Plantation Days event will run July 30-August 1 at the Pioneer Mill site.

[ Rob Report ]

Bold steps Diving into the deep end of a sink-or-swim global shift “In our present state of affairs, the very survival of humankind depends upon people developing concern for the whole of humanity, not just their own community or nation.” –His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet n his number one bestseller, The World is Flat, socio-political author Thomas L. Friedman skewered the topic of globalization with the directness of the boy in the crowd exclaiming, “The Emperor has no clothes!” The renowned New York Times foreign affairs columnist explicated both the opportunities and drawbacks inherent in the “flattening” of the globe and the explosions of wealth in China and India, the two most populous nations. With the same laser-beam insightfulness, Friedman’s Hot, Flat, and Crowded examines the immediate challenges of our time: rising competition for energy, changes in the planet’s climate and the need to work collectively to provide solutions while we still can. For all the hoopla, he contends that the needed “green revolution” has barely begun. Advocating an ambitious national strategy he dubs “Geo-Greenism,” Friedman states that while saving the planet from becoming feverishly hot, we can also “make America healthier, richer, more innovative, more productive, and more secure.” These are exactly the sort of values that we could use on Maui and throughout the Hawaiian Islands, but there appears to be a disconnect when it comes to implementing change. Our leaders aren’t getting us there fast enough on their own, and citizens may feel powerless against the gravitational tug that keeps us stuck in our status quo. While bold, transformative actions are needed, often the best place to begin is with common sense baby steps close to home.

en. Gary Hooser of Kauai, as down to earth a local politician as you’re likely to find, will lead a workshop on Maui next week titled Public Advocacy 101, a de-mystification of the legislative process and a primer for political action. The August 6 event, sponsored by South Maui Sustainability, features a presentation

Hooser has offered to communities around the state over the past two years. Hooser also mentioned Thomas Friedman’s Hot, Flat and Crowded when we spoke recently. When I asked him about diversifying the economy and moving away from dependence upon tourism, real estate and construction, his answer was immediate. “Energy is the direction we should go,” he replied. “Not to be too simplistic, but with [the] $7 billion we’re sending out of the state yearly [to import fossil fuels] it makes the most sense.” Hooser said he favors the “democratization of power,” an increase in distributive generation by many electrical power producers rather than a centralized large generation facility powering the grid. “The utilities hold all the cards,” said Hooser. At Public Utility Commission meetings, where polices and guidelines are established, he said Hawaiian Electric possesses “the info, the money, the attorneys, and the expert witnesses. It’s part of their supply and demand capitalism, and we need to break the logjam.” Hooser said that switching to solar hot water systems could average $50 savings monthly per household, or $600 annually. “And of course there would be the jobs provided for those doing solar installations,” he added. I asked if we were on track with the Lingle Administration-led Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative. “Unfortunately, we fell off track,” he replied. He singled out House Bill 1271, which would have levied a $1 per barrel tax on imported oil, raising an estimated $30 million yearly for clean renewable energy sources and for revitalizing our local agricultural capabilities. The bill was among those vetoed by Gov. Lingle, and the special legislative session failed to override her decision. Though the measure would have added only a few cents per gallon to the average consumer, it was opposed by the airline industry. Lingle also said she felt the tax would hurt the poor. “I’m disappointed,” sighed Hooser, who has announced his candidacy for the Lieutenant Governor’s office in 2010. He believes the bill can be “cleaned up” and re-introduced for next January’s legislative session. “I think we can better articulate where the money raised by this measure will go, possibly through direct transfers to tax credits,” he said.

uch bold steps—part of what Friedman calls a “Green New Deal”—need popular support from

Sen. Gary Hooser calls for a ‘democratization of power.’ citizens as well as lawmakers. But America’s bad habits, says Friedman, “have weakened our society’s ability and willingness to take on the big challenges.” Hooser said he realized a while back that a lot of good people try to shape public policy, but they may not have the basic information needed to navigate the bureaucratic maze. “It’s a lot of work to follow the bills and to understand the process,” he admits. “We are surrounded by professional lobbyists who do know how it works.” Hooser often begins his workshops by asking audiences if they know who their district representatives are. With the fast pace of the session and competition for representatives’ time, he believes relationships are key. “A lot of people don’t realize that if you call up your representative and ask to meet and talk about an issue, more than likely they’ll say ‘yes.’ In that sense, all politics is local,” he said. “If you don’t have time or can’t do it yourself,” Hooser continued, “then affiliate with an organization that is working for the same goals. I firmly believe there is a tremendous amount of power in personal involvement, and there is value in joining groups.” ome 10 years ago, “eco-philosopher” Joanna Macy co-authored Coming Back to Life: Practices to Reconnect Our Lives, Our World. It has served as a “how-to” guidebook, and has been the basis of workshops she has taught worldwide over the past decade. Her group methods, which she terms, “The Work That Connects,” have helped

people transform despair and apathy into constructive, collaborative action. Macy’s Web site describes her lectures, workshops and training as bringing “a new way of seeing the world, as our larger living body, freeing us from the assumptions and attitudes that now threaten the continuity of life on Earth.” Embracing the concept of “deep ecology,” or healing our fractured relationship with the natural world, is central to her work. Seeing this deep ecology as a foundation or platform for change enables us to look beyond personal needs and to tackle solutions with newfound enthusiasm. Thomas Friedman acknowledges that the challenge of embarking on a green revolution is a task of great enormity. “This is not something you do as a hobby,” he says. “If we can pull this off, it will become the biggest single peacetime project humankind will have ever undertaken.” It involves “trying to change the climate system…trying to preserve and restore the world’s rapidly depleting ecosystems—our forests, rivers, savannahs, oceans, and the cornucopia of plant and animal species they contain…and trying to break a collective addiction” to fossil fuels. “It doesn’t get any bigger than this,” Friedman continues. As Kermit the Frog said, “It isn’t easy being green.” Perhaps not. But it’s time. MTW

[ News of the Weird ] A TOOTH FOR AN EYE British construction worker Martin Jones, 42, who lost one eye and was blinded in the other in a 1997 explosion, regained his sight this year as a result of surgery in which part of his tooth was implanted in the eye. Dr. Christopher Liu of the Sussex Eye Clinic used a piece of tooth because a “living anchor” was necessary to hold a patch of Jones’ skin underneath his eyelid, to generate blood supply while a new lens formed. When the lens was healthy enough, Dr. Liu made a hole in the cornea for light to pass, and Jones feasted his eye on his wife, whom he had married four years ago, sight unseen.

DISINFORMATION AGE (1) Until Mayor Sharon McShurley changed the protocol this year, fire stations in Muncie, Ind., had been delivering reports to department headquarters downtown by dropping them off in fire engines. McShurley ordered the department to learn how to send reports by e-mail. (2) In June, the New York Police Department spent $99,000 on a typewriter repair contract, which will take on increasing importance since last year NYPD bought thousands of new typewriters, manual and electric, costing the city almost $1 million. The NYPD still is not even close to computerizing some of its daily-use forms, such as property and evidence reports.

CONCRETE JUNGLE Hundreds of Los Angeles’s down-andout live not just underneath local freeways but inside their concrete structures, according to a June Los Angeles Times report. The largest “home” is a double-gymnasium-sized cavern under the Interstate 10 freeway in the suburb of Baldwin Park. That space is nearly inaccessible, requiring squeezing through a rusty grating, traversing a narrow ledge, and descending a ladder to reach “a vast, vault-like netherworld, strewn with garbage and

syringes,” with toys and rattles and a cat carcass visible on an upper platform marginally harder for rats to reach. Authorities shy away from the area, out of fear, but every few years, state officials try to seal the entrance (which the homeless quickly unseal as soon as the officials leave).

BUGGING OUT (1) Researchers in Japan and Spain found recently that Argentine ants, normally highly aggressive and territorial, are actually one huge global colony with three expanding centers: a 3,700-mile-long stretch in Europe, a 560-mile strip in California and a swath of Japan’s west coast. Researchers hypothesized the kinship because, when members from those groups were thrown together, they became docile. (2) A June article in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases reported the worldwide reach of incidents of tapeworms that grow inside humans to nearly 40 feet in length. The most serious carrier, according to a Scientific American summary, is salmon sashimi. (Anthony Franz’s 2008 lawsuit against a Chicago sushi restaurant, for a 9foot-long tapeworm, is still pending.)

Former elementary school principal John Stelmack, 62, was sentenced in July in Bartow, Fla., to five years in prison for a collection of child pornography, even though no child was directly involved. Without the aid of computer software, but rather, using scissors and paste, Stelmack had meticulously placed photos of the faces of young girls over the faces of adult women in sexual poses.

Every time I step into my shaping room I think about Bob and his words of wisdom. I once asked him, what do you think about when you’re shaping? After closing the door and taking me into the corner of his shaping room, he whispered, “Water.” Mahalo, Mr. Olsen.

ou turn onto a crusty red road known as Hansen. You make your first right. You blow through what, in passing, looks like a tawny and crumbled former town center spotted with rusted sugar cane industry monuments. After about a mile you question the accuracy of the directions you were given. This must be where Jesus lost his sandals, you think, contemplating turning around. You hit a T-intersection. This must be where the first protozoan organism to move of its own accord lost its sandals, you think. There’s no way that the Maui Friends of the Library used bookstore is all the way out here. But it is: left at the intersection, right after Puunene School. Further down. Another right turn. The house that holds some 180,000 volumes is tiny—not much larger than the lanai at its front. It’s creaky, vaguely musty and shaded by a sprawling tree. In great contrast to the parched industrial desert that characterizes this area, the MFOL shop has an oddly comforting schoolhouse feel. Part boneyard for titles with osteoporosis-ridden spines, part monument to the infinite potential of Gutenberg’s invention, the place is one of Maui’s quintessential hidden gems. It might also be a key lifeline for Maui’s malnourished public libraries.

aui Friends of the Library has been around for nearly a century—since 1912. It operated informally for nearly 50 years until it received a charter of incorporation in 1957. Its mission has always been to support the Valley Isle’s free public library system. Initially that meant covering the salary of the first librarian to work at the island’s inaugural book depository, housed in the Alexander House Settlement in Wailuku. Now the nonprofit aids the island’s libraries through things like promotion and procuring vital materials that otherwise would be beyond the system’s state-allotted budget. An organization that operates solely on volunteer labor and donated books, MFOL depends on the Puunene shop and used book tables at individual library branches for their funding. Nearly every volume for sale in these spots is priced at a dime—from tawdry romance novels to titles like John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces. A few hundred, maybe, says MFOL President John Clark, cost a little more, but these are rarer, more valuable volumes. Clark lists a Holy Bible printed in the 19th century as an example. Charging a dime per book may seem like a bad business plan, but Clark says that, with the Friends’ ultra-low operating costs, it adds up. “We do actually take in a fair amount of money,” Clark says, citing a report that shows MFOL had made about $16,000 as of the end of June. “We’re not talking Costco, of course,” he adds.

That money has allowed the group to cover things like a paint job at the Lahaina branch—a project sporting a $5,000 price tag—and a portion of the Lanai branch’s new chairs. This is vital, given the current budget crisis facing Hawaii’s public libraries, a pinch state Senator and library advocate Kalani English says is beyond barebones. “They’re cutting into the marrow,” says the East Maui legislator. He isn’t kidding: the Hawaii State Public Library System faces cuts totaling more than $5.7 million for fis-

Part boneyard for titles with osteoporosis-ridden spines, part monument to the infinite potential of Gutenberg’s invention, the Maui Friends of the Library bookstore is one of the island’s quintessential hidden gems. cal year 2009. That’s a 20 percent budget reduction. “They’re obviously hurting, like all branches of state government,” Clark says. The shrunken library budget almost resulted in the loss of five branches statewide, including Hana’s public school library branch, which serves as a lifeline for residents who wouldn’t otherwise have access to the Internet or even newspapers. “They are critical points in the community,” says Library Services Section Manager Susan Nakata, adding that libraries also serve as needed safe havens for keiki. The State Board of Education cited circulation numbers as its reasoning for putting the Hana branch on the chopping block, which seemed to ignore Hana’s isolation and the size of the community. “If you look at the numbers,” English says, “Hana has very low usage.” But in reality, he adds, libraries are most vital in remote communities. In most other places, the next library is often a mere 15-minute drive away; not so in the county’s isolated reaches. “Cuts in the rural areas have much greater impact than cuts in the cities,” English says. The Hana Public Library dodged a bullet a few weeks ago, when hundreds of East siders showed up at a BOE meeting to oppose its closure. In the end, the board decided not to close any of the five branches, but instead to make cuts elsewhere. Nakata says that includes implementing furloughs (from which the libraries were originally exempt), reduc-

ing public service hours, freezing vacant positions, reducing temporary hires and doing away with student helpers. They have until August 23 to decide. How about staffing the library with volunteers? Nakata says that isn’t feasible, because “there are things we do in the library that are confidential.” Patron records and questions about business or health matters require the attention of someone who holds an appropriate degree— in many cases a master’s in library science. With a looming deadline for the revised budget cuts, the pressure is on, and the cuts have to be made somewhere. Hawaii’s Constitution forbids us from doing deficit spending,” English says. “Our system is based on a balanced budget.” That means that, unlike, say, California, the state can’t borrow money to cover its shortfalls. If the money isn’t there, it’s not there. English likens this to a consumer with a debit card versus one making purchases on credit. Given libraries’ already-dire situation, which includes a substantial reduction in the allotted budget for books, periodicals and other vital materials, Nakata says that outside help from local Friends chapters is hugely important. “We rely heavily on their support during tough times,” she says. “Most importantly they help us with advocacy.” Nakata cites a letter-writing campaign the Maui Friends executed to fend off a substantial budget reduction in October 2008.

tate Librarian Richard Burns says circulation stats are the primary reason the Hawaii State Public Library system chose the five libraries it did. Yet library advocates note library usage is on the rise—probably a result of the recession. Of course, scarcity of funding is a common plight. Pair that with the perceived obsolescence of libraries, and their existence is exponentially imperiled. The wealth of information available on the Internet may be contributing to the notion that libraries are not as necessary as they once were. But there is some information that may never be available online—at least not from a credible source. The Hawaiiana room at the Wailuku Public Library is clear evidence of this. In order for libraries’ relevance to be acknowledged by those who administer their funding, individuals need to show support. This doesn’t necessarily mean donating in the capacity of Friends of the Library (though the used book store could use a few more volunteers). It could be something as simple as renting the occasional DVD from the nearest branch instead of waiting on your Netflix cue, or searching the stacks for the titles on your summer reading list instead of dropping your dollars at a corporate chain. In the current economic climate, libraries are among the services that cannot be taken for granted. As Senator English succinctly says: “Use it or lose it.” MTW

ONO KINEGRINDS

BY CHERRY PASCUAL CHERRY@MAUITIME.COM

Blazin’ deals Steak joint offers big portions, recession-friendly prices ith the economy as soft as it’s been in a while, eating on a budget has become a ritual for most. However, the dollar menu at McDonalds gets old and cooking meals at home gets tiring after a long day at work. Enter Blazin’ Steaks. If you don’t already know, the restaurant chain—

Blazin’ Steaks Queen Kaahumanu Center, Kahului Wailuku Town Center, 790 Eha St. Unit #6 463-2724 which, just like its name suggests, serves up ono steak—offers customers great grinds starting at $6. I recently dropped by their newest location in Wailuku. The cute little restaurant has six stools lined up under a countertop and three small tables that seat three each. On the far wall hangs a flat screen TV that, on

my visit, was playing 50 First Dates for the handful of diners while a woman worked the counter and a man worked the grill. I guess for a place as simple as this, only two people are needed per shift. I settled on the steak and shrimp combo plate. Each plate comes with two scoops of rice and green salad. I waited less than 5 minutes before my delicious-smelling meal was ready. The plate comes with five big pieces of garlic shrimp and about 4 oz. of tender, juicy grilled steak. The meat and shrimp went well together while the salad offered up a healthy serving of greens. Overall, I enjoyed my dinner—and my wallet did, too. Other steak options include an 8 oz. steak plate for $6 or a whopping 16 oz. steak plate for $10. For those seeking a beef alternative, fish (opakapaka) is offered alongside chicken, both of which can be prepared in a variety of ways: broiled, Korean BBQ, Thai peanut and sweet chili for fish plates and the same—with the addition of mushroom—for chicken plates. You can choose any two entrees for $7 and opt to add shrimp to any plate for an

extra $4, while drinks are a buck. They also offer a variety of seasonings and sauces to cater to your liking, including Worcestershire sauce, Korean BBQ sauce, A1, shoyu and Tabasco. Sanny Simpliciano, who manages both Maui locations—the other being in the Queen Kaahumanu Center in Kahului— says the restaurant is named after his nephew, Blaizen. Blaizen’s father and Simpliciano’s brother-in-law, Richard Craft

Jr., is the eatery’s founder. There are plans to open a third location on Maui either in Lahaina or Kihei within the next year. It’s great to see a business expanding in such tough times, especially one that offers low prices. Check them out when you feel the need to take a break from the kitchen.

Diplo—can you go? Fancy suit or no, globetrotting DJ will bring the beats resh off the plane and a performance at this past weekend’s Fuji Rock Festival in Echigo Yuzawa, Japan, DJ Diplo arrived on Oahu just after 9:30am on Monday. Less than an hour later he’s on the phone with me—and, unbeknownst to him, popping my Music Scene interview cherry—ahead of his upcoming gig at Charley’s.

DJ Diplo Next gig: Saturday, August 1, Charley’s, Paia, 10pm-close Web sites: maddecent.com, myspace.com/diplo First time aside, the chance to talk story with the acclaimed DJ who produced M.I.A.’s Grammy nominated “Paper Planes”, who is hailed as the “worldwide ambassador of baile funk” and who works with the likes of Santigold, Kanye West and Gwen Stefani would throw anyone’s tummy into turmoil. I’m a touch relieved when our interview is a few minutes delayed, though unfortunately due to Diplo’s loss of luggage, forcing him to circle back to baggage claim in pursuit of a garment bag housing Japanese designer-label suits. “I have to wear, like, a nice suit now when I perform—with my new band,” he says. “So we all wear nice suits and

then I end up losing mine every time I fly.” With the background noise of Honolulu highways coupled with his low timbre it’s a little hard to hear, but Diplo is unmistakably nonchalant about the whole “suit stuff” thing. His manner is more like that of a friend casually recounting a recent, inevitable airport mishap. I girlishly ask about designers (there are a couple labels he prefers, like Visvim and Comme des Garçons), and express surprise at the boldness of shopping in the country that landed the number one (Tokyo) and two (Osaka) spots on the list of “World’s Most Expensive Cities to Live In,” based on the latest data from consultants Mercer. “You know what? Some shops are cheaper there,” he replies. “I only spend money on clothes, like, once every two years. I’ll wear it ’til it falls apart.” Then he adds: “I guess I’m getting old. I like suits now. Is that messed up?” Messed up? Hardly. A peek at the online coverage of his new band, Major Lazer—Diplo partnering with DJ Switch— reveals a pair of hip, do-it-all artists with a visual style evoking that of Funkadelic’s Hardcore Jollies (1976) meets the cult classic flick Heavy Metal (1981). “The Major Lazer record is kind of like Kill Bill in a long line of samurai movies. Dancehall is always going back and forth to different places. I’m always interested as a DJ in music that reflects on itself,” Diplo told Canada’s Exclaim! earlier this month.

“There’s Something Wrong With Esther,” but it’s the filmmakers who are in the wrong. It’s one thing to show a masked psychopath carving up dumb teenagers; it’s another thing entirely to show a little girl repeatedly bash a grown-up’s head with a hammer while another child watches. Or to show a little girl dress up like a

prostitute so she can seduce her adopted father. Or to depict a child setting a little boy on fire and watching him burn. Or…well, you get the picture. Fermiga gives a good performance and the film is well directed. But a filmmaker can only make a movie look so good before his visual gloss starts to slither off the slime he’s created. I don’t entirely blame the director, who probably thought he was making a “horror classic,” or the screenwriters, who probably got bullied by mean little girls. On the other hand, I am shocked that Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the executive producers—with his reportedly Oscar-worthy performance in Shutter Island just three months away did he really need to be associated with one of the worst films of the year? Parents, please keep in mind that this is a slasher movie about children, not a slasher movie for children. I know how it is: you wanna see a movie, but you can’t find a sitter at the last minute and think, “Well, my kids have seen just about everything, how bad can this movie be?” Answer: bad.

If you went to an orphanage and see a little girl dressed like Shirley Temple, sitting by herself, painting creepy pictures, singing songs older than you and learn that her previous guardians burned to death in a mysterious house fire,

would you adopt her? The film’s gruesome and heartless opening scene, involving a gory miscarriage, is supposed to make you feel sorry for the couple. But considering how awesomely stupid they were to let this kid in their house, warnings and all, they get what they deserve. You, on the other hand, have been properly warned. MTW

THIS WEEK’S PICKS Desert queen in paradise

Making is believing

Saturday (Aug. 1), 2-8pm, Sugarman Estate, Makena

Saturday (Aug. 1), 9pm, Timba, Lahaina

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: everyone loves a big gay dance party, especially people who say they don’t. Both Sides, Now, which is probably Maui’s only formal LGBT organization (they get extra points for naming themselves after a Joni Mitchell song), is putting on its annual Priscilla Party this weekend, which benefits Maui AIDS Foundation. Obviously it’s not just a party for members of the Valley Isle’s LGBT community; food, music and entertainment make for a good time for all. Guests can catch a shuttle to Sugarman Estate from the south end of the Shops at Wailea (near the Rolex store). Vintage military apparel is highly encouraged, so bust out your pinup outfit or sailor suit and dance away the afternoon. $25 at both-sidesnow.org/$35 at the door.

I am the Charleton Heston of mojitos. If anyone dares tell me how “so 2005” the refreshing beverage is, I will defend it to the death. Of course, a mojito is only enjoyable if it’s actually a mojito and not made from a syrupy mix. There are not many places on-island to get a decent mojito unless you’re able to procure your own fresh mint leaves and bring them to the bar yourself, which may involve sneaking onto private property and potentially being shot or bitten by a pit bull. Trust me. One place that does have a mean mojito is Timba, Lahaina’s newest nightlife addition. This week’s A Makebelieve Clothing Company shindig/rager/box social is a most excellent—and completely legal—opportunity to try the Cuban-born concoction while checking out local clothing purveyor’s latest designs. Danceable house music will be provided by Suck my Beat and Love House. Oh, and expect complimentary sushi and a fashion show around midnight.

Rock and/or roll

Illusions, Michael. Illusions.

Sunday (Aug. 2), 7pm, Lahaina Civic Center

Thursday (Aug. 6), 6pm, Iao Theater, Wailuku

Every other Sunday, Fuzzbox Productions puts on a most superior—and most free— movie screening. These are all-ages popcorn potluck events that usually incorporate a theme of some sort. This week it’s “rock stars.” This is honorable, considering how the essence of rock and roll as well as the rebellion and spirit that accompany it have been overshadowed by its own image. Like Twitter, our culture has gotten caught up in the manner in which rock and roll is delivered rather than the substance of its message. (Just sayin’.) Fuzzbox is featuring films that center on rock and roll, including titles like School of Rock, a Jack Black film to which I have yet to apply any degree of academic scrutiny. This is kind of a family deal, but Fuzzbox also puts on events geared toward those of us in our 20s who’ve yet to procreate. Most, for some reason, involve bacon. In any case, keep an eye out if you’re looking for something different.

When writing one of This Week’s Picks on an upcoming magic show, one might consider incorporating Harry Potter, who apparently has a new movie out, into the writeup. This would be a mistake. Yes, although our society is guided by the Principle of Overkill, no decent writer should stoop to the most accessible device just to save time and garner readership. It’s quality not quantity, my friends. (Oh, and I don’t like Harry Potter.) Those interested in viewing one of magic’s other pop culture vestiges can check out a live magic show this week. Headlining is Dr. Scandia (I am not sure of the discipline in which he earned his PhD), whose claim to fame is the ability to predict headlines. He will attempt to do so with this very paper. A week prior to the show he will write down his prediction for Maui Time’s cover story and open up the envelope at the Aug. 6 show. Plus, he plans on performing hypnosis on audience members who volunteer. Magician (illusionist?) Kolina will also give a special performance. An American Veterans Association benefit. $10/$12 door.

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

What you’re doing, essentially, is planting a garden and then simply banking on regular rainfall. Unfortunately, the universe isn’t exactly on board with your plan. While you’ll certainly be graced with a refreshing downpour or two, you can’t count on them coming regularly or frequently enough to keep your flowers and veggies alive. You’ve got to take matters into your own hands, unwind the garden hose, and give your plants a good sprinkle nearly every day, or you’ll end up with a vegetable patch full of withered husks. At that point, you might as well not have wasted your time planting anything at all.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

If you ate a huge hunk of smelly gorgonzola right before lying down to sleep, would you be particularly surprised if your night was populated by bizarre or disturbing dreams? I’m worried, because in the areas of your chief blind spots (particularly romantic/social relationships), you’ve lost touch with some of the basics of causality, and are then surprised when your actions lead to their logical conclusions. Think things through. If you really aren’t sure what will happen if you say or do something, ask someone who might have a clue—before you say or do it.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Right now you can be emotional or you can be sensible, but not both. Will you resist the temptation to react to stressful situations in a hysterical, instinctive way, or will coolheaded logic and reason prevail? While the former may be immediately emotionally gratifying, it’s not likely to resolve or improve things—in fact, it’s only likely to lead to a long (perhaps endless) series of fiery flare-ups that will, probably, ultimately be much more stress than they’re worth. I trust that these circumstances will teach you a lot about yourself—but whether or not it’s stuff you’ll be pleased to learn, in the long run, has yet to be determined.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Walking down the street wearing a sandwich board proclaiming, “DATE ME,” might actually get you a date or three, believe it or not. True, most of the people who’d likely take you up on that offer are people you’d probably rather have nothing to do with, but I’m afraid shunning such a strategy has more to do with your snobbishness and ego rather than its supposed ineffectiveness. Well, which are you more attached to—not being the least bit embarrassed, ever, or ultimately getting what you want, even if getting there is a bit uncomfortable?

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Some people get a bit of power and it goes straight to their heads, more intoxicating than bubbly champagne. You rarely play the role of petty authoritarian, though. Usually, you keep a cool head; you know that the true sign of strength is never having to exercise your power. Keep that in mind this week, as you’ll have ample opportunity to flex your muscles and throw your weight around, but hardly any legitimate reason to do so. Don’t be petty. Instead, make a game of figuring out ways to get things you want without having to do much of anything at all.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

I understand the temptation, when walking by someone’s precarious, wobbling house of cards, to knock it down. It’s so easy—a breath of wind, a lit match, or an angrily-stomped foot would be enough to send the whole thing crashing to bits. You could tell yourself it’s for their own good. That may be so, but seeing as how the thing is going to crumble no matter what, it doesn’t need to be you who sends it tumbling. Instead, tiptoe by, so that instead of being the person who’s resented for shattering a dream, you can be the one who comforts the bereaved dream-mourner, and perhaps helps them build something a little more robust the next time around.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

The people we fall in love with are usually those we feel we have a lot in common with, but who still manage to surprise us. If you’re trying to get someone to fall in love with you, the trick is of course knowing when to emphasize all the ways you’re the same, and when to celebrate and focus on your fascinating differences. This tricky balancing act applies in virtually any social situation, of course, but walking that wobbly tightrope confidently and well is this week’s special challenge—all the more exciting because you’re performing it without a safety net. You fall, you splat.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Many imminent parents ask their doctors not to reveal the gender of their unborn child, preferring to be surprised on the day. They simply prepare for either possibility. I understand this kind of willful ignorance, since it potentially adds to life’s pleasure and joy. But you’ve taken it a bit too far. You’re refusing to acknowledge or hear much more vital information; the equivalent would be a mother not wanting to know she was pregnant with quintuplets. This is stuff that would be virtually impossible to prepare for without advance knowledge. Open your ears, and your mind, and hear what you need to hear before it sneaks up on you and bites you in the ass.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Bragging and trash-talking has gotten you into trouble, before, of course, but this may be different. Not only have you agreed to take on something that’s already quite difficult—let’s say something like swimming the English Channel—but you’ve added a layer of complication that would make it quite impossible (like swimming the English Channel while wearing chain-mail). I know how much you hate the taste of your words, from the very few times you’ve been made to eat them, but this time you may want to choke down a couple helpings without sauce, before you’re in very cold water way, way over your head.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

While you think you’ll regret drunkenly dancing atop a table at a party while wearing a lampshade, you probably won’t, really, or at least not for long. In my experience, 90 percent of the regrets that stick with you for more than a week or three are about things you didn’t do, not things you did. Go on and make a fool of yourself. Commit to it. Although you might blush or cringe the next morning, those are the times you’ll remember most fondly in years to come. That can’t be a bad thing. Now, not having supposedly embarrassing moments to remember later—that’d be something worthy of serious regret.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

A gas stove accident completely singes off your eyebrows. What do you do? Draw some on, exactly as before? Pencil in brows that are just ever so slightly more flattering than the ones you had? Or embrace the “alien face” look and just go with it? Really, which option you choose doesn’t really matter—in a few weeks when your eyebrows have grown back in, no one will remember the episode anyway. What matters is how you reacted to the problem. Did you celebrate it as another interesting thing that happened to you, did you try to cover it up and pretend it never happened, or did you use it as an opportunity to try and make your life better? The specifics of your choices this week are irrelevant; what they say about you in broader strokes, though, couldn’t be more interesting.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Tattooing someone’s name on your body, while trashy, is also romantic—which is, naturally, why so many people do it. The problem is, while tattoos are for life (without expensive laser removal), few relationships actually are. My realism/cynicism shouldn’t stop you from making the grand gesture, though— however, consider shifting your perspective about it. In the example I’ve cited, you could wrap your head around the fact that this person will have literally marked you for life, even if they break up with you in a month or a year. Having a visual record of important chapters of your life isn’t a bad thing, for you— though some future partners may have something else to say about it. In other words, do what you were going to do, but don’t be so shortsighted about it. The long view will yield more insight, and satisfaction.
