Ask a Kapalua Press Release Dear Kapalua Press Release, My Aunt Gladys recently passed away, and I just found out that she left me a tidy sum of money in her will. That’s great, but she also left me her 17 cats, 12 goldfish, 7 parakeets and her pet Komodo Dragon Eustace. Any ideas how I can unload that zoo without spending all my inheritance? -Grieving but grossed-out Dear Grieving, (MAUI, Hawai’i)—To greatly enhance golfers’ overall experience, The Bay, The Village and The Plantation courses at Kapalua Resort now feature the ProLink Global Positioning Satellite (“GPS”) system used at many of the world’s most famous golf courses. The upscale, state-of-the-art ProLink GPS boasts a high-resolution, color monitor neatly affixed to each golf cart. It displays pinpoint-accurate distances to the hole, as well as vibrant and easy-to-understand graphics of fairways and greens’ hazards and contours. Better navigating the course and taking guesswork out of the game aids golfers’ shot selections and, in turn, speeds pace of play at Kapalua Resort’s three premier courses. Other features include ordering food and beverage at the touch of a button while on the course, as well as personal scoring and tournament leaderboards. Dear Kapalua Press Release, I feel really bad about this, but I don’t know what to do. The other night I was out with some of the guys and we got a little drunk and decided to go to a strip club. I’d never been to one before, so I decided to tag along. Anyway, we were there about five minutes when I realized

that the chick dancing on the pole was my girlfriend. She saw me, completely freaked out and ran offstage. I felt really bad about it, especially after the guys and I finally left three hours later. I just don’t know what to say to her. Any ideas? -Confused Dear Confused, In addition to game-improvement and enjoyment features for golfers, ProLink has become a necessary marketing and management tool for courses and resorts like Kapalua to quickly realize revenue increases and bottom-line savings. The no-hassle, reliable and robust ProLink GPS system enhances and benefits: food-and-beverage sales; green and cart fees; innovative and unobtrusive on-screen advertising for local businesses and course merchandise, tournaments and memberships; optimal tee-sheet yield; and enables courses to market a competitive advantage to secure more golf rounds from new and repeat players. Dear Kapalua Press Release, Are you, like, alive? Because if you’re not, this is really creeping me out. -Queasy Dear Queasy, Via ProLink’s “solutions-based” approach, Kapalua Resort will be able to streamline operations, including more effective management of tournaments and outings, as well as cost savings from staff, yardage books and cart wear-and-tear efficiencies. From a central computer and two-way instant-message system, clubhouse staff can issue golfers “speed-up-play” and inclement-weather notices. ProLink’s medical assistance call button gives great comfort to on-course golfers as it allows for quicker reaction to medical emergencies. MTW

Well, well, the joke’s on me, huh? After three months of heavy pursuit from you— flowers on my doorstep, calling twice a day, saying you “wanna start a relationship,” you “never felt this way before”—my friends go and catch you on a date with someone else. Then I talked to the girlfriend you said you broke up with and found out you hadn’t broken up with her. I hope you feel like the slimy worm you are, slithering your way into bed with two women on the same day. And now you’re telling people I’m a stalker?! Please, just get over yourself and listen really carefully: a manipulative, narcissistic con artist like yourself will never be special enough to be stalked.

Taking Responsibility Why Trilogy stopped dumping sewage activity booths this whale season. They want a more immediate solution to the dumping and say they’re not willing to wait three more years for action. “I don’t want to add to the collective frustration the community has over that lack of action on behalf of the state and boat owners,” Coon said. “For me, this is more about principle than money. I’m doing it because it’s the right thing to do.” MTW

Mmm... boat bilge State boating officials say it will be at least another two to three years before Ma’alaea Harbor can get anything like a proper sewage pump-out facility. That means the commercial boats based at Ma’alaea Harbor will continue to dump their untreated human waste into the ocean three miles from Maui’s shoreline for another two years at least. Local environmental activists find this appalling, but they’re not alone. Instead of waiting, the commercial boat operator Trilogy Excursions has spent the last six months paying a pump truck to suck out the wastewater from their two commercial boats docked at Ma’alaea harbor. “I’m not doing this for the press,” said Captain Jim Coon. “I just want to get the job done.” And while pumping his boats has increased Trilogy’s expenses, Coon is pleased that his company is no longer part of the problem. “Now we only take pictures and leave bubbles,” he said. While Trilogy has already been pumping their four Westside boats at the Lahaina harbor pump-out station, they needed to make a few adjustments to their Ma’alaea fleet to begin pumping at that harbor. To keep costs down, Coon installed larger holding tanks in the two boats so they would only have to pump once a week. Trilogy also added port-a-potties at

the Ma’alaea slips and crewmembers ask customers to use the facility before they board. “When we explain to people that we don’t dump any waste into the ocean they are respectful and thankful of what we’re doing,” said Coon. He added that the move has also increased Trilogy’s monthly labor costs since they have to pay the Ma’alaea crews for an additional hour of work while the boats are being pumped. Making matters worse, the two to three year figure for building a Ma’alaea pump-out station may be ambitious. When I asked Richard Rice, the harbors administrator for the state Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation about that time span, he raised his hands, crossed his fingers and said, “That’s if the funding comes though.” Rice said he would know “any day now” if a $11.5 million Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant has been approved that would allow his department to begin designing the harbor’s improvements. The federal transportation funds will cover replacing the existing cesspool with four individual wastewater systems, rebuilding the old Sea-Flight terminal building and landing and installing a single sewer pump-out station next to the new inter-island ferry terminal. A wastewater line running the length of the south mole—where the commercial boats slips are located—will connect to an individual wastewater system behind Buzz’s Wharf. Rice added that this federal grant will not

include access points into the main wastewater line so commercial boat owners could hook on and pump-out their wastewater. As far as Rice is concerned, that’s the responsibility of the individual boat owners. “The situation is similar to an individual building a house,” he said. “The county provides the main sewer line, but each homeowner has to pay to hook into the sewer line. The state is going to provide the main wastewater line for the boats to hook into, but they will have to cover the expenses to hook into it. It’s their responsibility. It’s a cost of doing business.” In any case, activists with the “Pump-It Don’t Dump It” group—a grass-roots community effort of about 50 Maui residents—were happy to hear that Trilogy is setting an example for other boat owners to follow. “While it’s obviously the state’s responsibility to provide a pump-out system for the boats at the state harbors, the boat owners also have a responsibility,” said organizer Mike Moran. “After all, if the beaches and parks don’t have a handy trash can, responsible users don’t just throw the trash into the ocean.” Group member Richard Fairclo agreed. “It’s shameful that the tour boats have been dumping feces, urine and chemicals in and around the Marine Sanctuary for so many years,” he said. “They make money on the resource and tell everyone that they respect it, but their actions show they don’t.” Activists say they will be picketing Ma’alaea harbor and the Wailea hotels and

Cunning Lingle What Governor Linda Lingle said in an Aug. 19, 2005 press release about $2 million in Honolulu Harbor pier improvements she recently authorized: “We enjoyed the arrival of Norwegian Cruise Line’s new ship the Pride of America this summer, and are committed to working on these important repairs in anticipation of Hawai’i’s expanding cruise industry.”

What she didn’t say: Cruise lines already get to dump their garbage and sewage into Hawaiian waters without penalty. Their crews earn terrible wages and work in tough, anti-union environments. The vaunted Pride of America is so ostentatious and super-patriotic that it warrants constant, armed U.S. Coast Guard protection whenever it drops anchor. Cruise lines are getting monstrously richer each and every year as they build ever-larger ships. By all means, the state should be giving them whatever they want. -Anthony Pignataro

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

MAUICOUNTY After years of dealing with pissed-off residents and even more pissed-off land developers, the Maui County Council has finally gotten fed up with the statemandated “201G process.” For those not steeped in State of Hawai’i planning laws, 201G allows developers to ram projects through county councils in just 45 days if the projects contain a certain number of affordable homes. Seriously, it’s about frickin’ time the council spoke out. For lack of a better phrase, 201G just sucks. Created by the best of intentions— much like the atomic bomb—201G supposedly makes it easier for contractors to put up affordable housing. In fact, much of the homes included in these projects often ends not so affordable—a result that county councils have no power to stop. That’s because 201G forces our local elected officials to accept or deny the entire project on its face without adding changes or amendments. At the hearing yesterday on the Hale Mua project in Wailuku, the latest of these projects, Councilwoman Charmaine Tavares even suggested that her colleagues impose a “moratorium” on all future 201G applications, until Maui County gets its affordable housing house in order. If you think that’s shocking, how about this: usually developerfriendly Council Chairman G. Riki Hokama agreed.

THURSDAY, AUG. 25 So in today’s big Governor Linda Lingle conference call with neighbor island papers that for some reason didn’t include us (Linda, in the future, the number here is 808-661-3786), our fearless leader said she’d hold her nose and let the impending gasoline wholesale price cap go into effect. But she then took the time to

explain all the possible situations that would lead her to step in and end it. Yes, yes, Lingle has all the big oil connections and knows everything about the industry. We know this. And you what, maybe she’s right. Maybe the cap will lead to long lines and higher prices. But at least it’s an attempt to do something to stem the gouging that’s going on. And it’s certainly better than Lingle’s current solution, which is to just sit quietly, take the rising prices like good little consumers and let the big oil companies drown in profit.

THE WEEK IN REVIEW

FRIDAY, AUG. 26

MONDAY, AUG. 29 SATURDAY, AUG. 27 Today I’d like to talk to you about John Sayles. As a film director, Sayles has produced some great films over the past couple of decades. One of my favorites was Eight Men Out in 1988, the classic story of the 1919 World Series betting scandal in which Sayles himself appeared in a bit part as sportswriter Ring Lardner. And I also thought Men With Guns in 1998 was an intense and compelling look at the state- and guerrilla-sponsored terror ravaging Central America. But then in 2002 Sayles made a ridiculous film called Sunshine State that starred a bunch of people including that one chick from The Sopranos but really centered on a proposed Florida resort development that ended up getting stopped because the construction bulldozers unearthed old Native American remains. Oh man, I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw that one. A few bones killed the whole project. Where did he come up with that? Obviously Sayles had never looked around Hawai’i. There are burial sites everywhere, and if construction guys find some, they just “process” them in a culturally sensitive way and get on with the job. Or at least they’re supposed to—today’s Honolulu

SUNDAY, AUG. 28 Looks like the tiny but insanely loud coqui frog—demonized by state land officials and the local media as one of the biggest invasive threats facing Maui today—may not be all that bad after all. So says a new article in the scientific journal Diversity and Distribution, which is generally considered the Playboy of bioscience. “[T]here are worse things out there,” author William C. Pitt said in today’s Advertiser. Pitt’s findings indicate that the coqui’s voracious appetite for insects may not speed the extinction of local endangered birds that compete for the same food.

So our very own Representative Ed Case (D, Hawai’i) and three other House backbenchers announced today that they’re going to Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait and Egypt. “[I]t is essential that I understand in the field itself what’s going on so I can make the right decisions in Congress,” Case said in his own press release.

this is wonderful news, and frog officials wasted no time trumpeting the news. “We consider this an absolute and total vindication,” said Billy, the coqui frog community’s vice president in charge of marketing and public relations (see “Point/Counterpoint” in Maui Time’s Apr. 29, 2004 issue for more of Billy’s unique take on the whole coqui matter). “Hopefully, this means the days of yokels chasing me and my fellow coqui across this rock with acid spraying guns are over.” Billy then excused himself, saying a new female coqui had recently moved into the area and he wanted to spend all night calling to her.

Got a card today from Michael F.

We will use the results of the survey to benchmark the quality of service we are providing and to help us improve.” It was nice to read, especially since the card was addressed to a guy who hasn’t lived in my apartment for over three years. Anthony Pignataro is making final preparations to duplicate Charles Lindbergh’s historic 1927 solo flight even though unanticipated cost overruns are forcing him to use a shopping cart instead of a plane and the Home Depot parking lot instead of the Atlantic Ocean.

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD PEACE AIN’T CHEAP In July, film director David Lynch announced that he had formed a foundation to raise $7 billion to fund 8,000 Transcendental Meditation practitioners to bring world peace by creating a “unified field” of stress-free brain waves over the Earth (which TM’ers accomplish, as they unironically describe it, by detaching their minds from the “thinking process”). Training expenses have increased dramatically in 12 years, for TM maven Dr. John Hagelin needed only $4.2 million in 1993 to bring 4,000 TM’ers to Washington, D.C., to reduce crime for eight weeks, and TM founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi asked for only $1 billion in 2002 to train 40,000 meditators to calm the world after Sept. 11.

COINCIDENCE In Brentwood, N.H., on July 30, police responded to an emergency call to find an intoxicated man with a padlock around his scrotum. He was taken to Exeter Hospital, and a locksmith freed him. And the day before that, in Worcester, England, Geoffrey Hughes, 51, was given a two-year “anti-social behavior order” in Magistrates Court for a series of incidents, one of which was appearing in public wearing only a hat and, on his scrotum, a padlock.

For a six-month period four years ago, government scientists in Florida studied a “miracle” liquid called “Celestial Drops” as a cure for the canker menace that ravages the state’s citrus crops. According to a July report by the Orlando Sentinel, the research was recommended by thenSecretary of State Katherine Harris, who later said she had learned of Celestial Drops from New York rabbi Abe Hardoon,

who is associated with the popularized version of Kabbalah, whose organizers sell its followers ordinary water that is supposedly “blessed” by being stored in a room with sacred texts. Celestial Drops, which was promoted as having “improved fractal design,” “infinite levels of order” and “high energy and low entropy,” was ultimately revealed by the scientists to also be water.

JUST POLITICS In May, a Philadelphia Daily News columnist described a cattle-call-type ritual at the local airport Sheraton hotel, by which most of the candidates for the city’s judgeships in that month’s Democratic primary shuffled into a room and offered checks of $1,000 or $2,000 to each of the city’s ward leaders for “election day expenses,” with each leader accepting the checks of those he would support. At a similar gathering at the Ritz-Carlton, one candidate said, “I thought to myself, ‘What if we all just walked out. Refused to pay.’ But none of us had the courage.”

ARTISTS WHO ACTUALLY WENT TOO FAR The Thames Water company succeeded in pressuring artist Mark McGowan to abandon his project at the House Gallery in south London in July in which, to protest society’s profligate use of water, he turned on House’s faucet and planned not to turn it off for a year (wasting an estimated 3.9 million gallons). And in Chicago, it was only a couple of days after photographer Kerry Skarbakka announced his “Falling” project that he was pressured into abandoning it. Skarbakka said he was awed by the sight of people falling or jumping from the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 and said he would, in tribute, repeatedly plunge four stories from Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art (but was quickly excoriated for poor taste).

LEAST COMPETENT PEOPLE Adam Tyson, 18, Jason Krueger, 20, and two pals were hospitalized in Clermont, Fla., in July with severe bee stings after imprudently deciding to vandalize a beehive colony in an orange grove; their truck got stuck in the sand just after they had set 50,000 bees swarming. And in July in Sparta, Wis., Darkalena Large, 43, insisted that she and her car were fine, but police arrested her anyway on suspicion of drunk driving after finding her in the car, which was stuck on a curb with one tire missing and the wheel’s rim badly mangled (and recently on fire, according to a witness). Also, a nearby resident brought over part of the rim, which had been broken off and propelled into the air and through his second-floor window.

PATIENCE Reuters reported in July that a court in Macerata, Italy, had scheduled Amelia Cuccioletti’s property-rights case for further proceedings at 9:30 a.m. on March 25, 2010. Cuccioletti is 98 years old. The average civil case runs about eight years in Italy. And in London in May, lawyer Nicholas Stadlen finally came to the end of his opening remarks for the defense in a creditors’ lawsuit against the failed BCCI bank. He spoke for 119 days and referred to files stacked so high that neither side’s lawyers could see each other. The plaintiff’s lawyer had taken only 73 days.

RECURRING THEMES Among the more astonishing repeat stories in News of the Weird are reports of people who had somehow managed to swallow their toothbrushes. The Saudi Press Association reported in January that doctors at King Abdul Aziz Hospital in Taif had removed a toothbrush from the stomach of a 70-year-old man (who claimed to have accidentally swallowed it 22 years ago). And in July, the Associated Press reported that a Taiwan surgeon had removed an eight-tooth, accidentally swallowed lower denture from the bronchial tube of a 45-year-old man. The man said he had misplaced the denture three years ago and had been looking everywhere for it.

LEAST JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDES Erik K. Low, 37, was convicted of manslaughter in Salt Lake City in June for fatally shooting a friend who had just moments before given him a “wedgie.” And Judy Castillo-Thomas, 29, was actually acquitted of manslaughter in July in Brooklyn, N.Y., even though she admitted accidentally stabbing her husband to death after he had beat her and taunted her for having buttocks that were “too small.”

THE CONTINUING CRISIS London’s Sunday Times reported in July that Prime Minister Blair had spent the equivalent of about $3,300 on makeup and makeup artists over the last six years, and according to campaign disclosure statements reported by the Boston Globe in May, U.S. Rep. Steve Lynch of Massachusetts spent $2,506 on makeup services only in the previous eight months. MTW

A Fate Worse than Death Cultural suicide via digitalization Compact discs won’t skip. They’ll play even if you scratch them. Unless you break them or set them on fire, they’ll last forever. That’s the sales pitch the recording industry used to convince America to switch from vinyl records to CDs. But, as anyone who owns a hairy dog or cat knows, CDs do skip. And as anyone who uses them to store computer files knows, digital data stored on them eventually vanishes in a mysterious phenomenon called “data rot.” “With proper care this Compact Disc will last a lifetime,” promised the packaging on the first digital recordings. Now experts wonder whether they’ll make it 20 years. Without discussion or debate humanity has committed itself to the wholesale digitalization of its collective cultural and historical information base. Music, movies, manuscripts, everything from letters between presidents to merchants’ financial transactions are currently created and stored in strictly digital form—a development that fulfills George Orwell’s prophecy that history would become mutable, now with a few keystrokes. Even more terrifying than the likelihood that the digitalization of history will be abused in the service of tyranny is the certainty that we are setting the stage for the greatest loss of knowledge since the destruction of the Royal Library at Alexandria. Data is created in a bewildering variety of programs, even within the same type of application (say, word processing). Few are interchangeable, differing operating systems conflict within the same program, and they go out of date with alarming speed. Files created in WordPerfect, until fairly recently the nation’s dominant word processing program, are quickly becoming as irretrievable as ragtime songs recorded on brown wax phonograph cylinders. It is conceivable that a few librarians will keep around some antique Wangs and Commodore 64s in order to access digital archives. And a tiny proportion of data will be transferred and adapted to successor formats. But for most computer users, data created on obsolete software and hardware might as well have never existed. There are two kinds of digital data storage media: magnetic and optical. Zip and Jaz discs, heirs to the floppies of the 1990s, get corrupted from “magnetic particle instability,” “tape lubricant loss,” “self-demagnetization,” and exposure to electromagnetic devices (like computers and other electronic gadgets). Once you hear what Zip disc users call the “click of death,” it’s over. Digital data works on the pass/fail basis: it’s either all available or

Foolproof data storage it’s all gone. Recordable CDs and DVDs have mostly replaced magnetic storage devices. But those go bad too. CDs and DVDs, explains USA Today tech writer Andrew Cantor, “have two layers encased in clear plastic: a reflective layer and a transparent dye layer. When you ‘burn’ a disc, your CD or DVD writer fires a laser at that dye to create dark spots that don’t let the reflective coating shine through. Your computer reads the dark and reflective spots as the ones and zeros of your data. But some dyes are better than others. After a while those burned-in opaque spots start to get less opaque. The disc fails.” It is impossible to fathom how much of our cultural patrimony has been lost to the failings of analog storage devices. Paper burns, film disintegrates, canvas molders. But there are two crucial differences between these pre-digital formats and what we’re leaving future generations of historians. First, analog isn’t pass/fail. You can see, and possibly restore, a stained or faded photograph. Moreover, while the majority of books printed 400 years ago have been destroyed, a few remain. Those survivors provide a tantalizing glimpse into the larger lost history. Had they been stored digitally, however, the loss would have been total: Every word of every last one would have succumbed to data rot. Is there an alternative? Cantor says yes: “For long-term storage of documents, you

can’t beat paper.” This is an issue like global warming, one with such devastating implications and calling for such Herculean solutions that most people would rather not think about it. And like global warming, it’s a problem that we simply have to solve. Our ancestors left us records describing how they lived, starting with the clay tablets of hieroglyphs that ancient Sumerians used as sales receipts on up through FDR’s personal letters to Churchill (typed on paper, with several carbon copies for redundant storage in scattered government warehouses). We owe the same to those whose past is our present. Government and business must lead the way. Unless we start backing up and storing everything of importance on more reliable media like paper and photographic film, however, we will betray that obligation. Our songs, our stories, our controversies, the rich tapestry of life at this particular place at this particular time will all be lost. We’ll be dead; worse than that, it will be as if we had never existed. MTW

Don’t look now, but the Maui County Department of Liquor Control is getting nicer to alcohol retailers. Well, some retailers. Chairman Shigeto “Mustard” Murayama had barely began the Aug. 4, 2005 Liquor Control Adjudication Board hearing when LC Director Franklyn Silva spoke up, saying that the first case—two counts of getting caught selling alcohol in a minor decoy operation against the Safeway in Lahaina— was dismissed. “Safeway is in the process of transferring its liquor license,” Silva told the board when they looked puzzled. Just like that. They’re transferring the license, so it’s over. Case closed. Never mind that a few months ago Bob Idini—the former owner of Idini’s in Wailuku—told the Board of Adjudication when his third strike for overserving a patron came up that he was selling his business. They didn’t hesitate to fine him and revoke his license. This is Safeway we’re talking about. Why bother making an example of them? I mean, sure, Safeway is a giant corporation that operates 1,802 stores in the U.S. and Canada, controls 82.1 million square feet of retail stores and made $560.2 million in pure profit last year. It’s unlikely few, if any, of Safeway’s fellow Maui liquor licensees will ever find the need to utter something like the following sentence, which comes from the supermarket chain’s 2004 annual report: “As of year-end 2004, the Company effectively converted $500 million of its 4.95% fixedrate debt and $300 million of its 4.125% fixed-rate debt to floating rate debt through interest rate swap agreements.” What’s a measly $2,000 fine when compared to that? Besides, Safeway’s different from other Maui liquor licensees. It’s so comfortable inside, what with all the earth tones, “Signature” soups and “Rancher’s Reserve Tender Beef” they’ve got. Who could be mad at that?

At a time in the surf industry when so much emphasis is placed on big brand names and which shaper you are riding, Grass Roots is different. They’re a new company, blending old style with contemporary ingenuity. Two guys started Grass Roots: Chris Carrozza and Ken Goring. Carrozza is a long time surfer, artist, board repairer and shaper. Goring is the visionary for design concepts and also a skilled board repairer. Their interest in making and fixing boards began with their own passion for surfing. I asked Carrozza what he enjoyed most about shaping and fixing boards. “Doing something you love,” he said. “To make the thing that gives you the most enjoyment in life.” In many ways, Grass Roots is a return to the reason why most of us started surf-

ing in the first place: because it’s fun. Surfing is a lifestyle, an addiction to be proud of and a passion that embraces and simultaneously expresses creativity. Surfing is like art, which is where a company like Grass Roots comes in. The artwork that adorns their boards is, to say the least, unique for surfing. It varies from board to board but usually combines reggae, punk and hip-hop inspiration with funky bright and colorful backgrounds, waves, flowers or whatever you can think up. Their approach is to encourage creativity, so whatever tickles your fancy can be arranged. “We are not conventional,” said Carrozza. “We encourage our clients to be creative and think outside of the box. We are not concerned with what everyone else is doing. We want to keep them stoked and foster their creativity. Different boards require a different approach to surfing, keeping it interesting.” Carrozza is originally form Long Island, New York, where he began surfing the frigid Atlantic Ocean. Eleven years ago he needed a change and moved to Hawai’i. He’s been

repairing boards for 10 years and shaping for three. Goring, who also goes by the nickname “Woozer,” has spent his entire life between Maui and Oahu and has been surfing for 25 years. For the past two years, he’s been a judge for HASA—as of this last year, the head judge, in fact. He has a wealth of experience with many different styles of boards and surfing and knows the shapes that work well. “I started on a twin fin when I was 10 then as everyone was switching over to thrusters,” said Goring. “I tried it but felt like my surfing had been better when I was younger. Years later I returned to the twin fin and finally felt like I had found what I really loved and had been missing all of those years.” Many local Waiehu rippers are representing Grass Roots Surf Company with enthusiasm, like Keoni Perkins, Kapena, Matt Vincent and Matt Swift. One surfer I spoke to even went so far as to call his Grass Roots board a “magic board.” Guess their approach is working. MTW

After months of debate, it looks like the U.S. Senate is finally going to vote on the controversial Akaka Bill. On Sept. 6, 2005, the Senate will say yea or nay to a cloture motion that will force a vote on S.147, which seeks to establish an office in the Department of the Interior. This office would then select a committee to oversee the forming of a Native Hawaiian Governing Council. Then the Federal Government would recognize this entity as the representative governing body of the Native Hawaiian people, putting their best interests in the hands of the Department of the Interior. Sound rather bureaucratic? It is. Hawai’i Democratic Senators Daniel Inouye and Daniel Akaka—the bill’s chief sponsor—as well as Republican Governor Linda Lingle all love the bill, but it faces significant opposition, mostly from conservative Republicans. Opponents like Senator Jon Kyl (R, Arizona) and talk radio host Rush Limbaugh like to paint the bill as pitting Hawaiian against haole. They insist the bill is blatantly racist and would lead to Hawaiian independence. In fact, opposition to the Akaka Bill is far more complex. Just ask Dennis “Bumpy” Pu’uhonua Kanahele. In the late 1980s and early ‘90s Kanahele was a militant sovereignty activist publicly resisting federal and state laws. Held without bail in Hawai’i’s courts in 1995, Kanahele was viewed as a political prisoner in his case against federal agents. Emerging from the system in 1998 a free man, Bumpy now preaches Gandhi’s virtues of peace and nonviolence. He believes in sovereignty for the Hawaiian people through peaceful economic advocacy. He also thinks the Akaka Bill is terrible and should be voted down. Last week I asked Kanahele why.

Maui Time Weekly: Why do you oppose the Akaka Bill?

Is the bill racist, as these groups claim? They may have a claim using United States law. However, right now, here in Hawai’i the Americans are illegally occupying Hawai’i. This is Hawai’i, not America. So their claim is a façade. It’s not real. As much as I don’t like being on the same side as this discriminating gang, it has brought more truth and awareness to the table.

Kanahele: Let’s say this table here represents the Hawaiian Nation before the overthrow. Each What if the bill passes? Hawaiian has an interest in a part of this table. Then let’s say that a tablecloth thrown over this table It won’t end the struggle for independence. Instead it will probably escalate it. It will be more detrimenrepresents the overthrow and statetal than anything else. It is all about the money, the investors and the banks. These institutions will use hood. Then there is all this stuff that their power to protect themselves. But they must be careful; there are human rights violations. There are has happened from then on and those protests against the occupation. are the things on top of this tablecloth. So now we have this Akaka Bill that wants What if the bill doesn’t pass? to set up a governing entity and address the Hawaiian people and what they want and need. Eventually it will force us into international protection under international law. When the United Okay, let’s talk about it, but first pick up that tableStates passed the Apology Bill they admitted to breaking the law. The Hawaiian people are the cloth and gather all the things on it and take that last straw regarding world peace. I am an advocate of peace and non-violence. The Queen knew away. Now we can look at our table of rights and what it was. It’s not about guns. It’s about repeating the truth. The kupuna and their prayers interests and see it for what it is. The Akaka Bill and its are all we have left. To stand firm in the system we have to withstand anything. supporters are not willing to do that.

What are some of the groups that are involved in sovereignty? Do you work with any of them?

What are some of the problems with the bill? This bill basically makes the Hawaiian people wards of the federal government through the Department of the Interior [DOI], similar to the Native American Indians. Let’s look at the track record of the Department of the Interior with regards to the Native Americans. Right now the federal government is involved in huge lawsuits over the DOI’s mismanagement of royalties of Native American lands, with over $2.4 billion unaccounted for. The bill is also missing the infrastructure to provide the badly needed services to improve the lives of Native Hawaiians. The bill does not set up a sovereign state; instead it sets up a committee to elect a group of people. Then this group has to negotiate with the federal government to be recognized, to have land, to have rights. This is not self-determination. This bill does not immediately address the issues we have.

Some of the different organizations and people that have pulled different folks together are Akahi Nui (www.freehawaii.org), who claims to be the King of Hawaii, Henry Noa of the Reinstated Hawaiian Nation, Dennis Reysdale and John Nelson, and the Nation of Hawai’i (www.hawaii-nation.org), which ratified the Hawai’i Constitution in 1995. I am head of state for the Nation of Hawai’i. Right now I am focusing on the health and economy of the people. On Maui I had over 250 kupuna but I have lost half of them. Now it’s health first, then let’s talk about building a nation. I am preserving our national treasures as the approach to unification.

Attorney General Mark Bennett, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) and former state Supreme Judge Robert Klein are all supporting the bill. They claim it is the last chance to make programs benefiting the Native Hawaiians legal. What do you say to this? These people are threatening the Hawaiian people, saying we are going to lose these programs if we don’t agree to the Akaka Bill. But let’s look at these programs. They aren’t helping all Native Hawaiians. So to use the Akaka Bill to reinstate these programs is not the solution for the Hawaiian people. If this argument is so strong for them why are they grumbling when we ask OHA to bring in an international lawyer to research the Akaka Bill? Why are they so afraid of a second opinion? Why are they pouring money into marketing instead? The bottom line is education. Why haven’t they spent a whole year reaching every nook and cranny to educate all of the Hawaiians about it?

What do you say to folks like constitutional lawyer Bruce Fein, the Grassroots Institute and the right-wing Republicans who claim no injustice was done to the Hawaiian people? They have to deny that any wrongdoing occurred to make their point. But that is just denial of the truth. In actuality, the Hawaiian people are suffering a subtle form of genocide. It’s not only guns and bombs that kill people. By manipulation through the mind we have been exterminated. First we were not allowed to speak our language or practice our religion. We were made to live in fear of our own culture. Then foods like Spam, margarine and such were introduced. And liquor. Now Native Hawaiians have the worst problems with health, alcohol and drug abuse, housing and jobs. You name it, we got it and it’s the worst. That is how we are exterminated.

Tell me about the Hawaiian Patriotic League of the Hawaiian Islands. These are the people who signed the petition to congress in 1897. There are over 38,000 signatures of Hawaiians. Congress didn’t have the two-thirds vote to annex they needed. These are the people who opposed annexation, my great great grandparents’ signatures are in that petition. So for many of us the struggle for independence did not begin 20 to 30 years ago, it began two to three generations ago.

What should the Akaka Bill say? We should be talking about what would an economic base looks like for a Hawaiian government and people. There are many options that do not involve the Department of the Interior. We could start a Native Hawaiian-owned and controlled bank and make each Hawaiian a trustee of the bank. When you have a bank, deposits are leveraged 10 to 1. With the deposits OHA has we could start this bank, and create an $8 to $9 billion business and surpass what the Federal Government is suggesting for us. Then the Hawaiian trustees could get dividend checks. We could get the Kamehameha Schools involved and dividends could be paid in educational vouchers. With an economic basis, a corporation would be protected. I am a visionary. I am always looking for a solution. Why aren’t we talking about this now? MTW

like from their menus to create something that best suits you. Yet not every place is like this. My solution? Makeshifts. Maybe it began in my kitchen growing up, when my brother and I would melt down chocolate bars and kisses, dunk pretzels, then tediously hang them on a stick in the fridge (what can I say, I’m from the town of Hershey.) It definitely blossomed at my university’s cafeteria, where I found the selections generic and redundant. My teammates and I experimented to no end, earning us a reputation as inventive non-conforming diners. We would extract things from different sections of the dining hall and manufacture our own rice krispie treats, pizza bagels, root beer floats, etc. After four years of this, I learned never to accept food at face value. One of my favorite re-mixes involves taking a delicious organic cranberry granola (bought bulk-style at the grocery store) and adding it to a vanilla sundae off McDonald’s notorious dollar-menu. Thus I transformed a cheap, fleeting product into a scrumptious healthy snack. A few other accessories I like to keep handy are craisins (dried cranberries) and sundried tomatoes. You can give an already good salad a makeover by adding these tasty sensations. One time I even became obsessed with candied almonds and didn’t leave home without them. They complement salads, cottage cheese, pretzels, pretty much anything but bubble gum. The sesame chicken salad at BJs Chicago Pizza only gets better when you add all three of these goodies. Jam, especially homemade peach or mango jam, is a fabulous agent for enriching taste. I subsisted on mini-PBJ graham cracker sandwiches one summer. Hummus can be used in the same fashion. One time camping, our supplies had dwindled down to just garlic hummus, rice, pita and a stick of meat. The hummus actually collaborated with everything and I realized that mashed chickpeas are pretty universal. I prefer dipping Pizza Hut breadsticks into one of these options, rather than the ultra-fatty cheese sauce. I have an aunt who carries fire-Tabasco in her purse at all times and uses it everyday. Sounds masochistic to me but it works for her. My best friend is a cinnamon sugar fiend. She takes her crucible of spice to work every day to employ during her lunch break. She’ll mix it with butter on bread, sprinkle it on yogurt, even use it to spice up corn on the cob. She drew the line after dashing it on a hot dog one day, which caused more of a downgrade than an upgrade. There’s no crime in incorporating things you love into everything. You probably don’t want to walk into a restaurant carrying a skillet of fish to add to a dinner salad, but little bags of your favorites are fine. Oh, and if you come up with a new idea, feel free to pass it along. MTW

EMPLOYEE OF THE

WEEK AS TOLD TO GABRIELLE POCCIA

Sanni Panopio Bartender, Tommy Bahama’s in Wailea I applied at Tommy Bahama’s because I really liked the management. I had previously worked with several of the employees who spoke highly of the managers and felt like it was a place that I would enjoy working. I have been in the restaurant industry for many years and was able to be hired as a bartender. I have been at the café for two years now. I was born in Guam but raised in the Bay Area in California. I have been in Hawai’i for 10 years and I love it. A big part of that is that I enjoy my work. I also tend bar at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in Wailea. It’s in the same complex, so I don’t have to do a lot of driving when I work a double. My favorite part about the job is probably the people I work for and with. We get a lot of really interesting customers and I enjoy interacting with our guests. The staff is very professional and I really appreciate my co-workers personalities and work ethic. Everyone has a very upbeat attitude. I feel like that is what makes me good at my job. I come in to work every day with a positive outlook. The café has great food. We serve a lot of sandwiches and salads with a Caribbean flare. It’s easy to succeed because the product is great and the staff is helpful. While I have no immediate plans to leave my position, I’m open to the idea of possibly managing a restaurant one day. That will be a little ways in the future, though. I’m happy with things at present. MTW

This is your Brain on Brains Friday, 7 p.m.; Sat, 1 p.m. at the Castle Theater, MACC [SCIENCE] You might remember Dr. Joe Dispenza from his appearance in the cult hit film, What the Bleep Do We Know?! He was talking some stuff about how you can “create” your day, remember? Anyway, the good doc is at it again with a mind-expanding lecture entitled, “Your Brain and Your Potential” on Friday and a seminar called “The Science of Creating Personal Reality” on Saturday. I might be speaking for you, too, when I say, “HUNH?!” But all is not lost, dear friends. Dr. Dispenza is a student of Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment and is just itching to help you discover how you can experience new emotions, new abilities—in essence, a new reality! Man, I could sure use one of those. My Gingko Biloba is clearly not working. Tickets: $80 for both events or $30 for lecture only and $60 for seminar. For more info, call Unity Church of Maui (the sponsor) at 242-9327. Or for tickets, call the MACC box office at 242-SHOW. [SAMANTHA CAMPOS]

[MUSIC] Hailing from Oakland, CA., Jennifer Johns has a sound that regular folks like you and me ooze over, as well as reputable musicians, who are decidely unlike you and me. Said to be inspirational and moving, she’s done shows with the likes of John Legend and De La Soul and even toured with Blackilicious. Rock on. Not only has she been singing as long as she can remember, she writes songs, performs spoken word and somehow has the energy and drive to run her own media company “pure.love.” The funky beats and emotional lyrics all happen this weekend for a totally reasonable $15 cover. Do it. [HEIDI KING]

As a child Sousa originally learned about Hawaiian culture from his grandfather, who taught him secretly. Now, as an adult, Sousa returned to his learning. Since 1989, has been continuously teaching the secrets Hawaiians have been using for centuries to cure ailments and injuries. Sousa was president of Kahuna La’ua O Maui, a non-profit organization that ensures continued Hawaiian traditions and values, and has taught students of Maui’s community college about the rich history of the island. The He U’I Cultural Arts Festival has planned several other workshops during the year, which will include lei-making, bamboo flute making, lau painting, ukulele playing, lauhala bracelet making, and bamboo hat weaving. These activities are sponsored by a grant from the County of Maui Office of Economic Development and the Hawaiian Tourism Authority, bringing tradition and education to persons from Hawai’i, as well as Maui’s visitors from around the world.

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY

Underclassman

Formula 101

★★★★★

Cop comedy fails the semester Formula rogue-undercover-cop genre trappings mix with repetitive comic punchlines in a lifeless effort from screenwriters David Wagner and David Goldberg (The Girl Next Door). Tre Stokes (Nick Cannon—Drumline) is a fuzzy-chinned college-aged undercover LA cop who’s willing to chase escaping criminals by riding a child’s bicycle in hot pursuit. So it is that when a case involving murder at an elite private high school, Tre coaxes his way with police Captain Delgado (Cheech Marin) to go undercover at the prep school as an overzealous student with a secondary ulterior motive of replacing his G.E.D. with a high school diploma. Even the chase scenes sag as debut director Marcos Siega disappoints audiences at every turn. The crux of the film’s comic/dramatic tension comes from Tre’s shameful attempts at ingratiating himself into a clique of rich white kids with a penchant for basketball, rugby and Friday night house parties. Tre uses his winning basketball skills and glad-handed demeanor to impose himself socially and makes an audacious impression when he intercedes in a basketball league game to lock in a win for the clique’s struggling team. It isn’t long before Tre is initiating a loyal friendship with the clique’s leader and criminal suspect Rob Donovan (Shawn Ashmore) by getting arrested with Rob for defending him in an asinine street fight with a rival group of teen malcontents. The picture hits its most spurious subplot note when Tre romances his sexy Spanish language teacher Karen Lopez

Rated PG-13/95 mins.

(Roselyn Sanchez—Chasing Papi) while enjoying private tutoring sessions in the classroom. Tre is presented as a socially agile yet marginal student who only excels in Spanish language studies because he instigates private tutorial sessions as a means of securing a favorable grading curve based on his powers of seduction. Underclassman recklessly undermines the idea that teachers and students should avoid engaging in romantic affairs. But this moral oversight is pawned off later as a sappy coda to the film’s fiery gun battle climax that connects the dots between drugs, stolen cars and the murder of a school paper reporter who attempted to blow the lid on a story about private school corruption. It seems that even in Beverly Hills journalists are targets. For his part, Nick Cannon shows himself as an up-and-coming leading man with a limited range and a habitual style of comic acting mannerisms that puts emphasis on second-guessing his own performance. Cheech Marin is largely wasted in a straight man role that neutralizes his limited brand of humor. We don’t even get to savor the irony of the notorious potsmoking Cheech in the role of a straight arrow L.A. police chief concerned with maintaining a luxurious lifestyle. Marin’s acting class line readings are especially colorless and lack any necessary precision timing or snappy inflection to tickle audience funny bones. Underclassman has the look and feel of a made-for-television movie that will only offend audiences thoughtful enough to see through its cynical attitudes regarding race relations, stereotypes and greed. It might make you wonder how much things have changed since the days when Cheech and Chong movies generated belly laughs about bong hits and illegal aliens. MTW

Boy, Cheech really let himself go

New This Week

A SOUND OF THUNDER â&#x20AC;&#x201C; (PG13) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ActionAdventure, Sci-fi â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In this total blatant rip-off a classic Ray Bradbury short story titled something I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember right now, Ben Kingsley plays a guy who takes rich slobs back in time to hunt dinosaurs. But then someone accidentally steps on a butterfly, which causes, um, trouble in the future, forcing Edward Burns to step in and help save humanity. Ed Burns? What happened, Ben Affleck wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available? 103 min. (Anthony Pignataro) THE CONSTANT GARDENER - (R) - Romantic Drama, Thriller - In Northern Kenya a British activist, Tessa Quayle (Rachel Weisz), has been found murdered while her companion is missing. Justin (Ralph Fiennes), her widower, a normally dull and unmotivated man, shocks everyone when he sets out, independent of his British High Commission colleagues, to find the truth behind Tessaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s murder. The clues he finds bring him to three different continents. The mystery that unfolds suggests more than simply a crime of passion. On his search he learns who his wife really was, who he has been and the extent of a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deeper than he ever imagined. 129 min. (Gabrielle Poccia) THE TRANSPORTER 2 - (PG13) - Action, Drama - So this is one of those movies where the first one did better than they thought it was going to do and now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to make it pay off again. This time around, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frankâ&#x20AC;? (as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called in this movie), has retired from the exciting transporting business and is on to driving around a kid (sound familiar yet?). The kid captures his heart but then is abducted. Then apparently Frank, if that is his real name, goes nuts on people to get the kid back safe and sound. Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mon, I know you people saw Man on Fire! Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just be honest: thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way this version of the same plot is going to be more hardcore than that one. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry, but someone had to say it. 120 min. (Heidi King)

Now Showing

THE BROTHERS GRIMM - (PG13) - ActionAdventure, Fantasy - My friend complained to me that our movie capsules are too cynical all the time. So this is me trying to be more positive: Matt Damon and Heath Ledger play brothers that fight fake evil in the 1800s. When their scam is discovered, they are forced to go up against real evil. It canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too scary because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only rated PG13. But, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure there will be scenes for us ladies to salivate over and witty lines to keep the public entertained. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;was that upbeat enough? 118 min. (HK) THE CAVE - (PG13) - Action, Horror - Two scientists and their team of top-notch divers make an incredible and mysterious discovery. Somewhere in the Romanian forest the group finds the ruins of an old abbey. But this is no ordinary abbey. Underneath the building lies the entrance into an extensive cave system. Eager to be the first to discover the caves and possibly a new species, the team enter without the slightest idea of the danger that lies within. And carnage ensues. Evil, growing and breeding, hidden underneath the house of Godâ&#x20AC;Ś what a metaphor. 97 min. (GP) CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY - (PG) - Family, Musical, Fantasy - This Tim Burton adaptation of Roald Dahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rather dark and brutal childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. (AP) DEUCE BIGALOW: EUROPEAN GIGOLO - (R) - Comedy - So they had to go there again? Why? Well, Deuce (Rob Schneider) is back to his gigolo self, only this time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Europe, and his former pimp TJ (Eddie Griffin) is implicated in the murders of Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest gigolos. So Deuce, being the guy that he is, goes there to work (ha!) in order to clear his good friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. But, of course, on the way he must compete against the powerful European Union of prostidudesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;?!â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and court a bunch of abnormal female clients including the beautiful Eva, who suffers from acute obessivecompulsive disorder. 83 min. (Kimberly L. Welch) THE DUKES OF HAZZARD - (PG13) - Comedy, Action - Yeehaw! The famous orange car is back with sexy bad boys Johnny Knoxville playing Luke Duke and Sean William Scott as Bo Duke. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget their hot cousin Daisy Duke, this time played by a toned, tan and oiled-up Jessica Simpson in Daisyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infamous tiny cut-offs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be a hodown and a hootenanny set in present day. I bet we all try to jump in our cars through the windows after this. And I give props to anyone who succeeds.

The Constant Gardener FYI, convertibles donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count. 106 min. (HK) 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN - (R) - Comedy - This is one of those pictures in which the title pretty much tells you everything you need to know. Steve Carell, The Daily Showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funniest correspondent, stars in this twist on the old, well-told story of the guy whose friends attempt to help into the sack. If this works, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be because Carell is his usually hilarious self and the producers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t puss out and try to make this a PG-13 flick. 116 min. (AP) FOUR BROTHERS - (R) - Drama/Crime - So here we are with four adopted brothers, who come together to bury the woman who raised them. But at the funeral, they discover that their mother may have been murdered and they want revenge. Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any son? But did I mention that yummy Mark Wahlberg is one of the brothers? Mmm... 109 min.

Traveling 30 miles behind enemy lines, the 6th Ranger Battalion aims to liberate over 500 American prisonersof-war from the notorious Cabanatuan Japanese POW camp in the most audacious rescue ever. Thank goodness for the brave ones. 132 min.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already won three international Best Film awards. It involves a young woman who heads off to the land of wizards and witchesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no, not our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capitalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in hopes of reversing some curse cast on her by the Witch of the Waste. I think I went out with her once. Anyway, it includes the voices of Lauren Bacall, Billy Crystal, Christian Bale and Jean Simmons. 118 min. (AP) MARCH OF THE PENGUINS - (G) - This little documentary is going to make you laugh and cry. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing how easy it is to relate to the flightless birds. Arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they the only animals that mate for life? It seems to me theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more faithful than humans. (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not bitter!) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adorable. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narrated by Morgan Freeman. It follows a flock for one year, and more specifically one couple, to see how they travel across the Antarctic. 84 min. (HK) RED EYE - (PG13) - Thriller - Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing worse than sitting next to some goon on a long flight at midnight. Either theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re chatty or smelly or they fall asleep drooling on your shoulder. Well, imagine Lisaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Rachel McAdams, The Notebook) surprise when handsome Jackson (Cillian Murphy, Batman Begins) with the big baby blues sits next to her. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry, dude turns out to be more creepy-scary than sexy as he tells her his plans to assassinate some important political figure on boardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and if she tries to stop him, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll kill her father, too. Geez... Hey, stewardess! Oh, flight attendant? Sorry. Uh, could you please seat me next to the drooly guy? Yeah, thanks. 85 min. (Samantha Campos) SKELETON KEY - (PG13) - Horror - In the dark backwoods just outside of New Orleans, Caroline (Kate Hudson,) a live-in nurse is hired to care for an elderly woman's (Gene Rowlands) ailing husband (John Hurt) in their homeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a foreboding and decrepit mansion in the Louisiana delta. Intriguedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or nosy, whatever you wanna call itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;by the enigmatic couple and their rambling house, Caroline uses the skeleton key they gave her to go where she, of course, shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go and stumbles upon a dark and deadly secret in the attic. Eek! Hope she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find my yearbook photo. 104 min. (KLW) 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 didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see that coming.) The fighter jet then becomes aware of itself and wants to kill people. Maybe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just in a bad mood, but havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we already seen this movie before? i.e. A Space Odyssey 2001, Maximum Overdrive, I Robotâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you get the idea. 121 min.

I also think one or the other will face a physical challenge with some crash or something. Yeah, then in the end, one or both of them will win the Big Race, their brotherhood will be restored and they probably both â&#x20AC;&#x153;get the girl.â&#x20AC;?

First, it refers to the struggle of new hopefuls breaking into show biz, while at the same time pointing thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to learn about the world when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re young and stupid. The main young and stupid role is a model living in New York who falls in love with a musician. She eventually ventures to Los Angeles to give acting a shot, and again meets up with her old musician flame, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not having any luck breaking into rockstar status.

Coltrane contracts liver cancer and dies at 40. Rashaan Roland Kirk plays several saxophones at the same time. Miles Davis meets Jimi Hendrix; Jazz-Rock-Fusion breaks big. Herbie Hancock records the biggest selling jazz album in history. Sanborn moves to San Francisco, joins the Paul Butterfield Band, plays Woodstock, goes on the road with Stevie Wonder, David Bowie and the Rolling Stones, and separates from his wife—but possibly not in that order. 1975-87: Clay Aiken is born. Hard Bop enjoys a revival, improvisational jazz guitarist George Benson and flugelhorn player Chuck Mangione go commercial, Gil Scott Heron raps, disco gets crazy and Elvis dies. The Sony Walkman is invented, the CD is introduced, Sade blends jazz with R&B and pop. Sanborn releases Taking Off (1975) and Hideaway (1980), then wins a Grammy for Voyeur (1981) and shows up in the Italian film, Stella Sulla Citta. 1988-96: In 1992, Bill Clinton is elected President and interviews his first intern. Cool Jazz trumpeter Chet Baker dies, supposedly by being pushed out of a hotel window. Guitarist John Scofield fuses Bop, Swing and Hendrix-like guitar playing, danceable Acid Jazz becomes

Jazz becomes more popular again; a $27 million museum devoted to jazz opens in Kansas City. Neo-traditionalism and fusion divide American jazz, while new voices emerge from places like Norway, Hungary, Sweden and France. Sanborn tours with Eric Clapton, promotes Songs From the Night Before (1996), releases Grammy-winning Inside (1999), hosts TV show After New Years Eve, releases Essentials (2002), tours extensively and separates from his second wife, Rikke.

The History of the World And David Sanborn He’s one of the biggest names in contemporary jazz. David Sanborn’s sax appeal has won Grammy Awards, entitling him to play with legends, host TV shows, appear in movies, tour the world and still somehow managing to score a couple of wives along the way. Here’s how Sanborn, smooth jazz saxophonist, fits into the illustrious history of jazz, world history and pop culture… 1945: World War II ends. In jazz, “cool” replaces “hot,” swing segues into bop, and players begin to dress like businessmen. Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie co-found Bebop. John Coltrane is drafted and plays clarinet with the Navy Band in Hawai’i. Miles Davis graduates high school and moves to New York, where he enrolls in Julliard at his parents’ request.

THE ORIGINAL DAIQUIRI Nowadays, most people think of the daiquiri as your typical, syrupy-sweet, blended froufrou drink, with fruity concoctions such as strawberry, banana or peach-raspberry-kiwi. But the daiquiri originated in the 1920s as the dignified cocktail of diplomats, simplified as merely white rum, sugar and fresh lime juice, shaken and strained into a chilled cocktail glass. Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders were thought to be among the first to discover the daiquiri in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. But the cocktail later became popularized in the States by JFK and literary giant Ernest Hemingway, who consistently ordered so many daiquiris at the La Floridita bar in Havana that they dubbed him “Papa Dobles” (Father Doubles).

ABSINTHE There’s lots of glamour, danger and intrigue surrounding this anise-flavored, green liqueur. That’s probably why it’s called “the bad boy of beverages.” And also probably why it’s been banned in the U.S. and much of Western Europe for nearly a hundred years. During the late 19th century, it was believed that the wormwood (a bitter herb) in absinthe caused insanity and French Symbolist poetry—which, in some circles, could really be considered the same thing. High in alcohol content (75%), absinthe has seen a faddish reappearance in the U.K., where surprisingly, it’s always been legal. However, wormwood-free substitutes like Pernod, Ricard and Herbsaint are thriving among urban bar hipsters everywhere else.

MONDAY, SEPT 05

MINT JULEP

Talk Story Radio - 5:30 p.m. on KIPO (89.3FM). A weekly half-hour storytelling program featuring the tales and tellers of Hawai’i and the Pacific Rim. Jeff Gere, the storytelling Drama Specialist in the Parks Department, in collaboration with the musician/technical wizard Kelli Heath, creates the shows which began airing on Hawaii Public Radio. For info, visit http://www.talkstoryradio.com/

I don’t know why, but whenever I hear the words “Mint Julep,” I picture an old white Southern gentleman, robust and red-faced, sweltering in the summer heat on his porch. Aside from the mint, Julepites insist that pewter or silver cups be used in making this refreshing cocktail. They feel the most important part is the frosty condensation outside of the cup that occurs from the metal and the (always crushed!) ice, which back in the 18th century, was expensive and considered quite the status symbol to have. Yes, ice.

ART

Friday Night Is Art Night - Fri, 6:30-9:30 p.m. Lahaina Galleries.

GIN Okay, so I’ve never been a huge fan of gin, which was invented in Holland in the mid-17th century by a physician-chemist as a cure for kidney ailments. Maybe that’s why I think gin tastes like crap: it’s medicine! Like vodka, gin is made from pure grain alcohol. Gin was the spirit of choice in 1689, after England’s new (Dutch) King William III imposed heavy tariffs on French wine and brandy. And British colonials in South Asia mixed gin with quinine water to ward off malaria. Again with the medicinal appeal! But you get the picture: gin is just as noble a drink as, say... Vic’s cough syrup.

LECTURES

THE CLASSIC MANHATTAN Called “beautiful to the eye, delectable to the tongue, and comforting to the soul and body” by James Waller in his book Drinkology, The Art and Science of the Cocktail, this classic was created in 1874 by a bartender at New York City’s Manhattan Club, during a party hosted by Winston Churchill’s mother. The original was served with rye whiskey: stirred, strained, chilled, up and garnished with a maraschino cherry—kinda how I like my men. MTW

“What The Bleep” Researcher On Maui - Fri, 7 p.m. at the Castle Theater, MACC. As a student of Ramtha's School of Enlightenment (RSE), Dr Dispenza has personally experienced how the brain, consciousness, and intent work together not only to create a day, but all the realities as observed by the individual mind.

HIV COUNSELING AND TESTING

SIGNLANGUAGE VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

If you feel that you have been potentially exposed to HIV and would like Free, Confidential and Anonymous testing call the Maui AIDS Foundation at 242-4900. It is important to know your HIV status so that you do not unknowingly pass the virus to others, also early detection is vital to your health and treatment. The Maui AIDS Foundation now offers Drop-In HIV Counseling and Testing (No appointment necessary) Drop in hours are Mon.-Fri. 8:30am to 4:30pm, Wed. 8:30am to 7pm 1935 Main Street, Wailuku For more information on HIV/AIDS, STD’s including Viral Hepatitis and HIV Counseling and Testing call the Maui AIDS Foundation at 242-4900. In Hana call 248-7801, Lanai 5656722, and Molokai 553-9086.

A character on Six Feet Under said something, in an episode a few weeks ago, that made me think of you: “If you think life’s a vending machine where you put in virtue and you get out happiness, then you’re probably gonna be disappointed.” Tragically, many Virgos suffer under this kind of delusion. It’s easy to believe that life is a simple equation: you work hard, do good things, help people, and you’ll be happy and fulfilled. The equation’s often true—but not always. The trick is believing in and practicing it, even after some exceptions blow it off the page.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) What happens this week is huge, only you may not notice it. A vastly important decision will be made, but with so little fanfare it’s likely to be eclipsed by something tiny and petty. It won’t even dawn on you that this huge step’s actually been taken until you start experiencing one of its many significant consequences, somewhere down the line. So what? It’s nice that this one’s an easy one, and there’s no point in making a big deal about it, or getting in the way. I just mention it so you can appreciate, admire and relish the moment as it happens, instead of having to do so in retrospect.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) What do you do when you need a haircut but just don’t have time or money to get one? (Well, if you’re a teenage Scorpio, you just say, “Fuck it,” and cut it yourself—which usually results in a glamorously-shaved head.) Nowadays, you wear a hat (or head scarf, or wig, or gallon of product). You have the same attitude towards emotional baggage, I see. It’s no big deal to cover something up as a temporary measure, but some people take it too far, amassing huge hat collections (or their equivalents) to hide their guilty secrets. Go ahead and keep yours under a hat—for now. But if it’s still there in three weeks, you’re in deep doodoo.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Let’s pretend we’re robots. Some of our parts are hard-wired, and others are simply software. The former: things we just can’t change, no matter how hard we try or how much we want to. Adding new programming can mitigate or modify them, but they’ll never go away. Yes, people can transform—especially you, Sagittarius. But there’s a limit to how much transformation is possible, and how permanent it is. Recognize this and figure out if the problems you’re having with someone you love are software conflicts—which can be resolved, with patience and time—or irreconcilable hardware incompatibility. Once that’s clear, how you proceed should be, also.

A public health message provided by The Maui AIDS Foundation.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Capricorns have a way of dissolving into the background when they want to (and occasionally when they don’t). This is one of those times. It doesn’t mean shit’s not happening to you, or that you’re not going through anything; it just means that no one notices unless you specifically call their attention to it—which can often take quite a lot of effort. So if you’re perfectly happy working through (or playing with) whatever’s going on for you by yourself, by all means, keep at it. But if you want companionship on this leg of the journey don’t suffer (or celebrate) in silence—go out and get some.

MISCELLANEOUS HIGH POWER DIGITAL LIGHTING Now available for the first time on Maui. many commerccial and agricultural applications. Call Ohana Greenhouse and Garden Supply @ 283-3427 to hear about this new technology.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Here it is again, your perpetual dilemma: practical considerations duking it out against impractical dreams. What’s it going to be? Buckets of money, doing something that isn’t especially bad or soul-killing, but also isn’t all that inspiring? Or the leap of faith that may amount to nothing and cost you everything (or possibly be the coolest thing you’ve ever done)? I urge you: at least consider both options. That’s all I’m asking: seriously think about it. It might be exactly the right decision for you to keep on the path you’ve been on and wait for a better time. But I guarantee you’ll be happier walking that path once you’ve rigorously questioned it.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) So many Pisces have less-than-perfect eyesight for a reason: You have trouble focusing. Sometimes all you can see is the big picture, without any details. And other times you view everything through such a tiny filter that your whole life seems just one way, i.e., you’re as perpetually unlucky and miserable as Lemony Snicket’s Baudelaire orphans, or as chronically upbeat and happy as Big Bird. This is why you occasionally need the perspectives of those around you, to keep things in balance, to help you remember that yes, your life is not all shit, or that you’re not always such a righteous and perfect person. This week, notice who the people are who do this for you—and figure out what you can do for them.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) There are some skills and assets you possess that you just can’t easily and tastefully reveal in mixed company (no matter how interested some of the other parties might be). For instance, how do you let someone know they should date you because you’re fantastic at oral sex, without being so crass you put them off? This is why you should also develop a vast array of front-line credentials, things people can be impressed by during casual smalltalk. You’re already the shit once people get to know you—this week, work on improving your first impression.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Three is your magic number this week. Nothing in pairs is likely to work. If you choose to hang out with just your lover, or one parent, or anyone one-on-one, you’re not likely to have a good time; about the only thing you’ll have is problems, and some of them might persist for an aggravatingly long time. Stick to threes and you’ll have a surprising amount of fun. This might mean consideration of some unusual companions—in fact, your best new friend might be someone you’ve usually considered a third wheel, not a happy third of a ménage á trois.

There’s no question you’re full-on. You rarely do things halfway; when you discover something new you’re into, you barely do anything else until you’ve exhausted your interest in it. Then you move on to the next thing. A tiny fraction of these exploratory ventures become part of your semi-permanent repertoire; most of them fall by the wayside and are rarely or never picked up again. Unfortunately, you occasionally (though thankfully not as often) do this with people. The problem: people can come back to haunt you. Beware this kind of haunting this week. However if it occurs, don’t flee from it in terror. There’s something you can learn here: making things right by making room in your life for something that’s not the absolute IT thing at the moment can still be quite rewarding.

COVER STORY

Cancers like being prepared for things. You may claim to like surprises, but you secretly despise them. When you’re startled, you’re quite likely to clam up and retreat into your shell, and like any shy hermit crab, it takes you quite a while to come out again. In the meantime, even patient visitors usually get bored and take off. That’s why I’m delighted to advise you this week—stay alert but not on edge. You’re likely to be caught off-guard at least three times this week. Happily, not a single one of these shocks will turn out to be anything but good news and good times.

Maui Recycling Service If not now, when?

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) You’re like weather; everyone around you is affected by whatever you’re up to, whether they like it or not. Consequently, you tend to be surrounded by flexible, spontaneous, good-hearted people; those who aren’t up to being battered by your moods keep a good distance, if they can. However, every so often one of these more delicate individuals washes up next to you, and for whatever reason, can’t escape—like this week. Don’t take it personally when they find everything you do abrasive, offensive, or annoying. It’s them, not you. Instead of being hurt, be compassionate—go easy on the poor things, and turn down the brightness, just a little.

HOLOHOLOGIRL

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

The Horizontal Hula A man can sleep around, no questions asked, but if a woman makes nineteen or twenty mistakes she’s a tramp. – Joan Rivers I’m not going to deny it, sugarcoat it or fluff it up to appease the more genteel of you readers—if there are indeed such things. I’m tired of the sanctimonious, gender-based double standards, the smugly intolerant dichotomy between being a “playah” and being “good.” As long as nobody gets hurt, what’s the problem? I’m an adult, I’m a single woman of fair intelligence and virtue, I play it safe and I have a healthy libido. Sometimes I just have this unbearable need. I’m talking about the casual sex. Yeah, I see you baby—shakin’ that ass. Some single girls pretend to be frat-boy bachelors and have no problem satisfying this need, and doing so with just about any interested party. And like I said, that’s their right. But obviously there are others, who perhaps don’t want to go to bars and “play the game”—or being of the sort of moral fiber where casual sex is simply not an option—who choose to wait until they’re in the midst of a serious relationship. And then there are the few, the proud, the in-betweeners—the ones who’ve done the onenight stands, the frolicking flings and the fuck-buddy quickies—who are, frankly, tired of the lack of intimacy that casual sex provides, of the vague dissatisfaction from an otherwise enjoyable physical connection with no depth of spirit, that’s about as satisfying as eating a meal of stale rice cakes, Tofurkey, celery and fat-free ice cream. Do I really need to say it? Yes, I think we all know that sex with a partner you actually care for is far superior to riding the baloney pony with some schmuck or shmuckette you met over Spam musubi at Minit Stop. And yeah, I go through my moments of “Oh gosh, it sure would be nice to have someone to come home to, someone who would be my best friend, someone I could share laughs with, someone who would kiss my neck, lick my armpits and suck my toes on command…” But the reality is, that ain’t happening. I don’t have a boyfriend and it’s not my focus to find one anytime soon. What’s a girl in need to do? Okay, I’m gonna tell you a little secret. Maybe it was last year or a couple of months ago or last week—whatever. Sometime in the not-so-distant past, I totally had a Desperate Housewives moment with the gardener. Hey, he was hot. And I had lemonade. I’m certainly not bragging; I’ve had more than my share of humility in these matters as well. In fact, there was this one time, also not so long ago, that I have hereby deemed, “The Night That Mighty Casey Has Struck Out.” Oh yeah, it happens. Normally, I can be pretty shy and retiring. But the night in question was during a particularly lustful week for me—I was a little stressed out and seeking, uh, release. So in my wanton quest, I called my girls Sasha and Evelyn, who would surely understand the urgency of my temporary libidinousness and help quell my salacious search. So I hoped. “Meet us at Idini’s!” they cried. Interesting choice, I thought. For I’ll admit, I don’t generally consider my favorite neighborhood dive to be your typical “pick-up joint.” Having been there a few times over the past several months, I feel as though I’ve met everyone and am comfortable in their companionship—plus, most of the men there are married or quite a bit older than my usual dates. But as soon as I walked in, I saw him. My victim was young and attractive—I barely gave him a chance to throw any flirty glances my way before I hopped over and thrust my red-hot desire in his face. “Hey, aren’t you the hulahula girl?” he asked, unperturbed. Usually, this recognition will make me giggle and blush like a Japanese schoolgirl while I back away into some dark corner with my liquid courage and notepad. But tonight was different. I was up for the challenge. He bought me drinks and I ended up spending hours talking about everything with this guy—telling him about my science and music background, listening to his ruminations about dating and past relationships. He seemed interested. And I decided I liked him. I think that’s where it all went horribly wrong. After several hours, the guy with whom I’d been chatting, looked me square in the eye, smiled and said, “Sam, it’s been a pleasure hanging out with you.” Then he left. Without me. And just to add insult to injury, Sasha, Evelyn and Elan watched the whole thing from across the bar. They all smiled and shook their heads. “You just put in a double shift, working so hard like that,” said Sasha. “You should’ve just closed the deal from the get-go,” said Elan. Evelyn just looked at me and laughed. The very next night, I decided to kick it solo at the Moroccan Bayou. I had just finished writing an article and was feeling grateful to have such a cool job. My generous neighbors had just dropped off dinner. And I sat at my table— the huge bowl of fresh crab in front of me—with a candle burning, classic jazz cooing on my small stereo, a glass of red wine in one hand, fresh crab leg in the other, butter dripping off my chin, and I laughed out loud. I felt free. In that one glorious moment, I felt like I had everything I wanted. And I didn’t need anything else. Except, well… maybe a case of double-A’s.
