LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR A MINOR ANNOYANCE Re: The guy who complained about the kids in the restaurant [“Eh Brah!”

September, 11]: It is truly unfortunate that he and his wife assumed that they would have an entire restaurant all to themselves for the whopping sum of $100. This apparently is what they came to expect for that princely sum of money. Big spenders! How unfortunate that a couple ventured out into the world with their children—also hoping to enjoy an evening with their family—and they upset your little utopia. I doubt seriously that the restaurant had a policy that excludes parents bringing their children out to dinner. Yes, children can be loud, unpredictable and disruptive. EH BRAH—THEY’RE KIDS! At some point you were too. And your parents had to deal with the same tantrums and outbursts that every parent must endure. Taking children out into adult settings is how you teach them to eventually be little adults in such situations. It is readily apparent that you have not yet procreated or ever intend to. If you haven’t yet, please don’t!

You clearly don’t have the temperament for it. Finally, until Maui County bans children in all public places I would suggest saving your bucks and catering a nice meal in at your home.

It will certainly cost more than the $100 you intended to spend, but you can have that nice evening of conversation with your wife. And the rest of us can feel safe knowing there’s one less moron out on the street.

Mike Estes, Makawao

SCUM SCAM? If you look at current factory gate prices ($5-$10 per kg), algae are way too expensive for low price applications such as biofuels and CO2 mitigation [“Slime for change,” September 11]. The often-cited yield projections are pure fantasy. The reality is that ponds yield about the same amount of biomass as tropical agriculture. The difference is that sugarcane can be cut and pressed easily, while algae have to harvested by flotation, centrifugation, and drying. Good for the people who get a job for a while, good for the managers who pay themselves a nice salary and bonuses, bad for the investor. Put the funds in wind and solar.

FERRY IMPORTANT Rally the troops, sound the alarm, Friday, September 19, 12-4pm Superferry taskforce meeting at the staging area; if you care about Maui resources, make every effort to attend! The problem thus far has not been the Superferry, it is the PEOPLE who come to Maui to over harvest natural resources, it is the people who are upsetting the ecological balance, causing Maui resources to deplete as they have already depleted on Oahu.

Maui DOCARE is doing its best to cite illegal transporters and record the poundage of fish, opihi, limu, etc. being transported with every trip and this crucial information gathering is scheduled to end in December. We need stricter controls to keep Maui resources from being over harvested. We live on an island and as Oahu has shown there are realistic limits to what can be harvested.

WHO HAS A PLAN? Politics is kind of interesting, I think it would be a lot better without all the mudslinging. If we could put the focus on the issues instead of the personal attacks I think then we could really move forward as a nation. What are the stances on the issues? Who has a plan for solutions? This is more important to me than who is Muslim or who’s daughter is pregnant or even who has more DUIs than everyone else. A lot of people have already made up their minds about who they are voting for for President, but ask people around Maui who they are voting for for local elections and the majority of the crowd doesn’t even know who the candidates are! The next president will definitely have a big impact on America, but the next county council will have a huge impact on Maui.

Primary election endorsements COUNTY COUNCIL Lanai For such a tiny island, Lanai has a crowded field of candidates. The good news is they all seem to be qualified and well meaning. There’s not really a bad choice here, but one candidate stands out. Sol Kaho‘ohalahala has previously served as a County Councilmember and a state Representative and more recently as executive director of the state Kaho‘olawe Island Reserve Commission. His experience, combined with a solid record on the environment and other important issues, earns him our nod.

Maui Time Weekly endorses Sol Kaho‘ohalahala

to say “no” to some very bad ideas. On the other hand, Couch brings a fresh perspective; he has said the right things about fostering cooperation and appears to balance a pro-business stance with genuine concern for the environment. Construction consultant Norman Vares is also running for this seat. He’s well versed on certain issues and wouldn’t be a bad choice, but we feel the other two candidates bring a bit more to the table. We’re splitting our endorsement between Couch and Nisiki for the primary and inviting both, if they make it through to the general election, to come in for a live Maui Time-moderated debate.

Maui Time Weekly endorses Don Couch and Wayne Nishiki

West Maui Incumbent Jo Anne Johnson doesn’t seem to be facing much serious competition. She’s stood up to developers when it counted and earned the respect and admiration of her constituents (and Maui Time readers, who voted her “Best County Official” in July’s Best of Maui issue). She’s got our support.

Maui Time Weekly endorses Jo Anne Johnson

South Maui Two candidates stand out here: Longtime public servant Wayne Nishiki—who has the support of the incumbent, Michelle Anderson, who decided not to run for personal reasons—and former Deputy Planning Director Don Couch. We like Nishiki’s experience and the fact that during his long career he’s established himself as an independent thinker who sticks to his guns and has had the courage

STATE HOUSE District 8 This election is about change, and not just at the national level. Locally, we have fresh candidates trying to unseat established politicians whose time in office has revealed some less-thanadmirable qualities. Longtime state Representative Joe Souki notably came down on the wrong side of the Superferry mess.

He also gets most of his campaign cash from business entities and PACs outside his district. Tasha Kama, a community activist and Pastor of the Christian Ministry Church with deep roots in the community, looks like an excellent alternative.

Maui Time Weekly endorses Tasha Kama

District 11 In his first term in office Joe Bertram III made some missteps, perhaps none greater than getting behind Wailea 670 and going so far as to write an opinion piece expressing his support in The Maui News. His opponent, Michael Gingerich, is young and enthusiastic and trumpets

the right causes, but he raised an ethical red flag by failing to obtain a general excise tax license for his fitness business. There are things about both candidates we like, and things that give us pause.

We’re supporting Bertram with the hope that after getting his feet wet in his first term he can grow into the office.

Maui Time Weekly endorses Joe Bertram III

District 12 Much like the District 8 race, this one pits youthful exuberance against longtime service. And much like Souki, incumbent Kyle Yamashita has made a number of decisions that seem at odds with the needs and desires of his constituents, including squashing SB 1789, a bill designed to protect community access stations like Akaku that got unanimous approval in the Senate and was widely popular on Maui. Also like Souki, Yamashita’s spending report reveals most of his big campaign contributions come from outside his district. Starr is

young, but we feel she has the qualities necessary to become an effective and dynamic public servant.

Maui Time Weekly endorses Summer Starr

STATE SENATE District 5 Roz Baker is seeking her third term in the Senate. We haven’t agreed with her on every issue but her record overall is solid; she’s already earned the support and endorsement of the Sierra Club, the Ohana Coalition and numerous other organizat i o n s .

Furthermore, Baker’s opponent, realtor Bart Mulvihill (who Maui Time readers may know best as the “No Baloney” guy) has not mounted an effective enough challenge to warrant a changing of the guard.

Maui Time Weekly endorses Roz Baker

Follow the money

Same as it ever was

Campaign spending reports reveal candidate ties n the eve of Maui’s Primary Election, most registered voters have a pretty good idea who they will choose at the polls on Saturday. Those choices may be based upon familiarity, past performance records of incumbents, stances on key issues, how effective a candidate’s campaign has been, or even more trivial reasons such as one’s ethnic background, age or the colors of their campaign signs.

For the most discerning voters, however, reviewing campaign donations can uncover key indications of how a candidate may later respond to development requests from landowners, developers, union representatives or other influential campaign donors. While there may be no crystal clear correlation from one to the other, the Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission understands that transparency of the process is important enough to require reports to be submitted 10 days before this Saturday’s Primary, and again before the General Election on November 4.

Back in 2002, voters rejected a re-

Clichés, tiresome as they may be, are born for a reason. People generally don’t beat a phrase into the ground unless it’s endowed with a hefty dose of insight. Like this one: The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Exactly one year ago today (OK, 363 days if you want to get technical) LC Watch reported on a Liquor Commission hearing that centered on the conundrum of ejecting drunks from bars. According to the rules governing the LC, it’s not enough merely to stop serving intoxicated patrons; they must immediately be booted to the curb.

Money can’t buy you love, but political influence is another matter.

District 12 (Upcountry) challenger Summer Starr raised a question about incumbent Rep. Kyle Yamashita’s contri-

the $3,500 given by her husband and Radcliffe, constitutes “bundling”, or exceeding the $2,000 limit set for dona-

A close examination of campaign contributions may provide the piece of the puzzle that helps reveal the entire picture. election bid by Mayor James “Kimo” Apana after learning that a vast majority of his three-quarter of a million dollar campaign war chest came from off-island donations, mainly from Oahu. Apana tried to regain his mayoral seat in 2006, but fell short and finished third in a field of nine.

An examination of campaign spending reports by this year’s candidates reveals far more modest contributions, more reflective of County Council and state legislative political budgets. Or perhaps the downturn of the local and national economy may be limiting individual donations. Nevertheless, a few clear distinctions can be drawn in key primary election races.

butions. Of 48 donations made in the first half of 2008 to his campaign fund, not one of Yamashita’s donors listed an address within his district. At that time he reported an aggregate income of $10,556.88, with large donations coming from the Hawaii Operating Engineers ($2,000), United Brotherhood of Carpenters ($1,750) and professional lobbyists G.A. “Red” Morris and an associate, John Radcliffe ($2,500 total).

Morris, also listed as a contributor in the report filed on September 10, 2008, is one of Hawaii’s leading lobbyists, representing 32 listed entities including Monsanto, Hawaii Superferry, WalMart, A.I.G., Eli Lilly and Phillip Morris.

The most recent filing also shows a $2,000 contribution from Gail Morris of Kaneohe, who is married to Morris.

While she lists her occupation as “housewife” it gives rise to the question of whether her donation, combined with

tions to an individual campaign for a State House candidate.

Yamashita’s latest report shows 69 donors, yet only six contributors list an address within his Upcountry district. see MONEY, page 8

At the ’07 meeting, thenCommissioner Ron McOmber lamented the fact that bars couldn’t keep customers around to sober them up with coffee before sending them out into the night, where, if still loaded, they were more likely to start a fight or drive drunk. “This is a major problem,” he said.

A turn of the calendar hasn’t changed the validity or pertinence of McOmber’s comments. In fact, over the last few weeks, we’ve had three different booze-selling proprietors contact us to complain off the record about being forced to push out sloshed individuals who they knew would be a greater danger to the public outside the bar than inside. This isn’t really news, of course. Even infrequent social drinkers can tell you it’s not the tipsy guy by the pool table you’ve got to worry about; it’s the belligerent dude in the parking lot.

Hopefully in another year, we’ll be able to tell you about how this whole thing’s been sorted out and how the rules have been changed in the interest of pragmatism and common sense.

But, you know, don’t hold your breath.

ROBREPORT Among those who gave a combined $17,694.87 more to his campaign are the Hawaii Association of Realtors ($2,000), Monsanto ($1,000), Lynn McCrory of Princeville, manager of Pahio Resort ($1,000), Maui Land & Pineapple ($1,000), Hawaii Streetbikers PAC ($950), ILWU ($750) and Dowling Company ($350).

By comparison, 35 of 62 contributors to Summer Starr’s campaign are residents of the Upcountry District 12. Her campaign contribution report has the flavor of a family affair, with donations from her mother, father, brother, sister and aunt. She received $2,000 and an endorsement from the Patsy Mink Political Action Committee (PAC).

Starr raised slightly more than Yamashita, $17,806.72 in the most recent reporting period, as they head towards their Democratic party showdown in Saturday’s primary. Other notable contributions to her campaign include $1,000 from Pardee Erdman of Ulupalakua and

$2,000 each from Michael Honack of Kihei and Marc Turtletaub and Maureen Curran of Makena.

That South Maui trio also contributed $2,000 each to the campaigns of Natalie “Tasha” Kama, and Sol Kaho`ohalahala. An Internet search for Turtletaub indicates he’s a film producer, with the 2006 hit Little Miss Sunshine to his credit, among others.

Kama, hoping to represent the House District 8 (Wailuku, Waikapu, Waihee), also is a recipient of the Patsy Mink PAC endorsement and $2,000 contribution. Of $16,259 received this year, Roderick Fong of Wailuku gave $1,000, as did Frank Zajac of Haiku. Kama also listed $2,000 each from John and Leontine Elder of Makawao and $114 from a Calabash neighborhood meeting at the Wailuku Community Center.

Incumbent Rep. Joe Souki filed reports indicating $26,550 raised in 2008, with $2,000 coming from tobacco giant Reynolds American in North Carolina. Souki’s campaign received support from the Plumbers & Pipefitters PAC ($2,000), Hawaii Association of Realtors PAC ($2,000), Streetbikers Hawaii United PAC, lobbyists Morris and Radcliffe ($3,500 combined), Island Insurance

Of 71 overall donations, only two came from addresses within his district. est Maui County Council incumbent JoAnne Johnson is known for running an austere campaign, and reported only $2,000 each contributed by Curran and Turtletaub.

Challenger Alan Fukuyama filed a short form, indicating $1,100 in funds received. The Friends of Cheyne Marten Committee did not file a campaign contribution report.

Council veteran Wayne Nishiki, seeking his old South Maui residency seat after Michelle Anderson announced she’d be moving to California for family reasons, also has no report on file. [Note: Should a candidate plan to raise and spend less than $1,000, there is no requirement to file a report.]

In the past, Nishiki has mailed back contributions to those seeking to support him, in particular landowners who may later seek development requests.

He also declined to meet privately with those seeking project approval, stating that discussions should take place in public, in the Council Chambers where the community can also participate.

It remains to be seen if Nishiki, whose last term on Council was in 2000-2001, will reach new voters with his laid-back campaigning style, or if name recognition and past experience alone will be sufficient.

Challenger Don Couch, former assistant to Mayor Alan Arakawa and State Senate candidate, reported $18,091.76 raised in 2008. Most notable is $2,000 received from Charles Jencks, representative for the Honua`ula/ Wailea 670 development.

Couch also listed support from CPA Mimi Hu ($2,000), Maui Land & Pineapple PAC ($1,000), ILWU Local 142 ($1,000, and their endorsement), United Brotherhood of Carpenters & Joiners ($1,000), Spencer Homes ($1,000), T&S Building Consultants ($500) and realtor William Gresham ($250).

Alberta de Jetley reported $3,750, with all but two donors being Lanai residents.

John Ornellas listed six donations totaling $2,850, though none came from his home island.

Matthew Mano’s contributions were reported to be $2,720, topped by $2,000 given by the United Public Workers PAC. Winifred Basques did not file a campaign contribution report.

Senator Roz Baker (5 th Senate District, South and West Maui) filed reports indicating $58,994 received during 2008 for her reelection campaign. Lahaina realtor Bart Mulvhill, who faces Baker in the Democratic Primary, failed to submit a report.

BY ROB PARSONS ROBPARSONS@EARTHLINK.NET

awaii’s Campaign Spending Commission has provisions for matching funds to candidates who acquire a certain number of smaller donations. For example, should a County Council hopeful garner at least fifty donations of no more than $100, they qualify for state funds equal to the amount given by individual donors. For a grassroots candidate not seeking support of traditional power brokers, this provides a viable opportunity to run a campaign on a level playing field with those accepting funds from larger contributors. Of the races examined for the Primary Election, however, no one chose to pursue state matching funds.

While many voters look for a candidate whose stated position on key issues mirrors their own, campaign funding may reveal a bit more about a candidate’s overall support base. For discerning voters, close examination of campaign contributions may provide the piece of the puzzle that helps reveal the entire picture about those aspiring to serve the Maui community in elected office.

LEGAL MISOGYNY

NOT A FUNGI

Italian and U.K. legal authorities have recently discarded rule interpretations based on embarrassingly anachronistic stereotypes of women. In July, Italy’s Court of Cassation reversed a 1999 ruling creating a legal presumption that a woman wearing tight jeans could not be the victim of rape because such jeans would be impossible to remove without her assistance. Coincidentally, at about the same time, the British government formally removed the special, ameliorating defense of “provocation” for husbands charged with murdering their wives, thus putting domestic homicide on the same footing as other homicides.

(Some husbands had received lesser penalties by claiming that their wives’ affairs had provoked them to murder.)

About 10 years ago, reported LA Weekly in July, Southern California was awash with hysteria over household “toxic mold,” in which lawyers convinced jurors that a wide range of illnesses was caused by fungi that previously had been minor irritants controlled by ordinary cleansers. (Centers for Disease Control maintains there is no basis for such hysteria and that the only at-risk people are a tiny number vulnerable to specific fungi.) Among the mold alarmists then was announcer Ed McMahon, who famously received a multimillion-dollar settlement by claiming that mold killed his beloved dog. Recently, McMahon even more famously publicly lamented his potential bankruptcy, in large part because no one wanted to buy his house (although the reason now seems more the mortgage credit crisis than the home’s alleged toxicity).

IMPLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY Jonathan Williams, 33, was convicted of cocaine possession in England’s Guildford Crown Court in July, as jurors rejected his explanation that the pants he had on (containing the cocaine) were not his. That explanation also failed in August in Naples, Fla., for Richard Obdyke, 19, when police found a stolen debit card in his pants. (In both cases, the men said they had no idea whose pants they were wearing.) And in August in Corpus Christi, Texas, a 25-year-old man was arrested for drug possession during a traffic stop, despite his volunteering to police that “It’s not my truck,” and “If you find something (searching it), it’s not mine,” and “If there’s anything in that black bag, it’s not mine.”

FAKING IT Gill Switalski, 51, filed a lawsuit in London, seeking the equivalent of almost $40 million for her dismissal from the Foreign and Colonial investment firm, claiming she was fired illegally during an illness. However, F and C asserted in June that it found an instance during a particularly sickly spell for Switalski when she interviewed for a job at a competitor while demonstrating enough energy and drive to have received an offer of employment. Switalski said she was merely using an “alternative personality” during that interview.

KARMA STINKS According to police in Bethlehem, Pa., four kids (ages 9 to 14) grabbed a donation box in August at RiverPlace park (contributions to an organization that maintains the park’s portable toilets) and ran for nearby woods, with several police officers in pursuit. Three boys were caught, but the other made it a little ways into the woods before falling into a manure pit built by homeless people at their encampment.

A HAIRY ORDEAL Kevin Hansen filed a lawsuit in West Bend, Wis., in August, claiming that spotting a clump of hair in a steak he sliced into from a Texas Roadhouse restaurant caused “severe and permanent injuries,” pain, suffering and “disability,” requiring “extensive medical treatment.” In fact, said his lawyer Ryan Hetzel to Milwaukee’s Journal Sentinel, “It’s bothered the heck out of him.” (The employee who prepared the steak was fired and later pleaded guilty to a felony, explaining that he was trying to retaliate because Hansen complained about a previous order.)

LOWERING THE BAR After failing the West Virginia Bar Exam for the second time (during which he was given an extra day to complete it), Shannon Kelly filed a lawsuit in July demanding even more concessions based on his unspecified cognitive disability. The second failure was also on a special version of the exam in large type, and Kelly had been permitted to work in a room by himself. He now believes he can earn his license if he is allowed four days instead of the normal two, to make up for (according to his lawyer) “severe deficits in processing speed, cognitive fluency and rapid naming” (though it is not clear how many attorney jobs are available for someone with such a skills set).

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

Score one for the NIMBYs. Last week we told you about Peter Martin, the Maui developer who wanted to set up a kind of low-income campground catering to the homeless in Spreckelsville. Not so fast, said a coalition of fretful neighbors who found a way to legally stall the project and force the Planning Commission to effectively kill it. Maui Time staffer Kate Bradshaw was in attendance at the fateful gathering where numerous residents spoke out about the potential evils of the campground, expressing fears that it could become a magnet for crime and shady activity. Those concerns are not unfounded, even if they’re based in stereotypes and unfair generalizations (in this economic climate, who but the filthy rich are immune to the possibility of losing job and home?). But the bigger point is, if you support these kinds of efforts in theory—which many at the meeting said they do even as they fought to stop it—you must admit they have to go somewhere. Where? The answer is usually: in a neighborhood where people are too poor and powerless to make a stink. Same old song, I suppose, but I sure am getting sick of hearing it… In other news: The world didn’t end and I feel fine. Scientists in Switzerland today fired up the Large Hadron Collider, a massive particle accelerator that could provide clues about the origin of mass and other cool stuff. Prior to the machine’s maiden run, a vocal minority had been warning that the Collider could create a black hole that would swallow the Earth and all life on it or something to that effect.

But…looks like we’re good for now.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 “Change” has become such a ubiquitous buzzword this election cycle—used by everyone from Tasha Kama to Barack Obama; hey, that rhymed—that its other meanings and uses have almost gotten lost. Here’s what I mean: I drove by a sign in Kahului advertising a discounted tire change and I completely didn’t even see the first two words and found myself looking around for a smiling politician. Scary.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 I knew there had to be a catch. Gorgeous scenery, friendly people, a warm welcoming ocean, fresh pineapple everywhere you turn—and now this hacking vog cough. Wailuku looks and feels like downtown Los Angeles (OK, maybe I’m being a tad dramatic). People tell me the trade winds will blow in soon and return the air to its prior pristine state, but for now I’m staying inside.

The date above this entry almost mandates that I make some kind of comment about 9/11. But which 9/11? The day seven years ago when a terrible act of violence was perpetrated and many people died? Or the idea of 9/11, the hot-button talking point that’s often cynically trotted out as a debate changer in different ways by folks on both ends of the political spectrum (though generally more overtly, skillfully and wickedly by the neo-conservatives). In a practical sense, in less than a decade, 9/11 has already become a myth; a canonized, one-dimensional code word used to justify everything from misguided foreign wars to domestic spying to, well, just about any potentially unpopular policy that needs a good red, white and blue shot in the arm. (I’m sort of cribbing from MSNBC talking head Keith Olbermann here; to see his frothingly eloquent take on things do a quick YouTube search.) At any rate, this is my first 9/11 (the actual day) on Maui and overall, after speaking with people and seeing the subtle ways the anniversary was acknowledged, I’m (even more) glad to be here. Maybe it’s being an ocean away; maybe it’s all the sun and surf and good vibes. Either way, locals seem to get that this day warrants solemn remembrance, sure, but also a little honest perspective.

If I were afraid of machines, this one would scare the shit out of me. evacuation orders? Yes, it would be wise to heed the warnings and get out of Dodge before a massive windstorm whisks you off to Oz (or was that a tornado?). But that’s a lot easier to do when you’ve got financial security and maybe a second home to go to. If your little two-bedroom, one-bath in Galveston, Texas is the only thing separating you from life on the streets, I get why you might think twice. But hey, if Ike does destroy your domicile you can always come to Maui and stay in our lowincome campground! Wait...never mind.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15 Here’s one of those weird coincidental things: The Maui News reports that 808 people ran the Maui Marathon this year. I wonder if organizers realized that fact at the time, and if so whether they would have turned away a last minute entrant to keep the cool convergence in place. To paraphrase the late great George Carlin, those are the kind of thoughts that kept me out of the really good schools… In other news: I like the trade winds and so does my respiratory system. And so, I’d imagine, do the Maui Marathoners.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 We’ve updated you a couple of times in this space about the electronic voting system Hawaii’s going to use in the upcoming primary and November general election; in case you missed it, the technology comes courtesy of Hart InterCivic, a company that’s been accused in the past by a whistleblower of misleading the government about the reliability and accuracy of its machines.

Looks like folks are taking notice, and officials are scrambling to assure everyone that everything’s hunky dory. Last month, a group of Maui residents including attorney Lance Collins tried to get a circuit court judge to prevent vote tallies from being transmitted via phone line, where they could theoretically be changed or tampered with. The judge denied that request but a lawsuit is pending. Quoted in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, state election honcho Kevin Cronin said the election will be “secure and provide honest and accurate results.” But, you know, what else is he gonna say?

Maybe the best news in all this is that the $43 million long-term contract Hawaii originally signed with Hart will have to be re-bid after this year because a state administrative hearings officer found it to be “clearly unreasonable.” MTW

It’s the very definition of temporary relief, but cash-strapped motorists will no doubt take it: gas prices in Hawaii keep inching downward. Earlier this week the statewide per gallon average fell to $4.29, down 15 cents from a month ago. So now let’s throw a wet, regular unleaded-soaked blanket on that sort of good news: Hawaii’s gas is still costlier than that of every state in the union except Alaska, according to AAA figures. And here on Maui the per-gallon cost sits at $4.60 a gallon, meaning the price drop is really being enjoyed by folks on neighbor islands. Now doesn’t that make you want to go for a drive?

SUNSET FUTON SOFA

Tough times for homeowners continue, even in paradise: foreclosure rates soared some 130 percent statewide in August over the same time last year, as reported in The Pacific Business News. That’s bad, but the bump was inflated by the foreclosure of 100 condominiums in one Kauai complex. By contrast, there were 64 foreclosure filings in August on Maui.

Maui retailers praying for a spike in holiday spending to help offset the summer lull may be in for a Grinchly surprise. PBN reports that New York City-based accounting firm Delolitte is predicting consumer spending between November and January nationwide will grow less than it has since 1991 (hey, that president was named Bush, too!). That could actually benefit consumers by lowering the cost of tiki shot glasses, gaudy floral print shirts and other crap that makes people hope you saved the receipt. MTW

t was a small kine decision. The refusal of one permit, two stages and a handful of nonprofit booths.

In a unanimous succession of “ayes,” the members of the Cultural Resources Commission moved to deny a Lahaina Town Action Committee application to organize Halloween entertainment, T-shirt sales and food booths in a heated July 3 meeting.

But this story is not just about a permit or a stage. With this minor verdict handed down by the CRC, whose job is to protect the cultural heritage of Lahaina, came a hefty message, loud and crystal clear: Halloween as we’ve known it for more than 30 years will no longer be tolerated by Native Hawaiians who think the celebration is disrespectful in an area that was once a home for Hawaiian royalty.

“As a culture we have not stood up and said this is who we are. We have been kind. Generous to a fault,” said CRC commissioner Raymond Hutaff. “And so things are allowed to come to a head to where it’s very problematic. Now we have realized we are on the wrong path, and we need to change direction.”

The question, however, is not if a massive crowd will descend on Lahaina on October 31. For roughly 30 years the costumed masses have ruled the street, and they will no doubt return in force again this year. The CRC—in an attempt to protect culturally valuable historic sites, send a message to the

ebates about the merit of Halloween in Lahaina have been going on in a series of public CRC meetings since the first complaints came across the desk of the commission in 2006. Letters and testimonies of support from the members of LAC, Lahaina merchants and Maui residents wanting to keep the LAC involved painted the one-day event as fun, harmless and economically beneficial.

Opponents point to the negative effects of the large celebration in Lahaina, which over the years has come to be known as the Mardi Gras of the Pacific.

“The Cultural Resources Commission spent a considerable amount of time weighing the pros and cons that the community offered…particularly over the past two years when criticism of the evening activities in Lahaina Town grew into a contentious issue in the community,” said Maui County Communications Director Mahina

test and live musical entertainment. Artisans and nonprofit groups set up booths for food sales and entertainment under the Banyan tree, while Tshirt sales and promotions were organized to attract revelers on what had become the busiest night of the year in Lahaina. They’ve been organizing the same event every year since.

“We recommended that they approve the permit,” said Planning Department director Jeff Hunt, who attended last July’s meeting to deliver the county’s official stance on the Halloween permit. “We felt the permits were for amenities that provide positive, healthy alternatives to what many groups opposed about the event, such as excessive drinking. I think that it’s unfortunate that there won’t be these alternatives that are more creative. Some of the costumes in the contest take a lot of time and thought and people get very creative.”

According to the LAC, the merchant group didn’t begin the annual costume contest. They did, however, solicit sponsorship and raise funds to offer a bigger and better prize to the contest winners, encouraging ingenuity from the Maui com-

Martin, who attended this year’s meeting and pledged the county’s support for whatever decision the CRC reached.

The most heated arguments were heard last year in an August meeting in which the CRC reluctantly approved the permit with a 5-1 vote.

“My concern is it’s going to happen anyway and I’d rather see it in a controlled environment,” said CRC Chairman Sam Kalalau told the Maui News in a 2007 article.

This year the commission voted with concerned Native Hawaiians against the recommendation of the County Planning Department. Denying the permit will force the county to provide many services that the LAC did voluntarily and will prevent several nonprofits from setting up revenuegenerating food and activity booths.

t’s unclear exactly when and how Halloween in Lahaina, as a major Maui event, got started.

Undoubtedly, costumed keiki have been raiding Front Street shops for candy loot for generations, and some time in the 1970s an annual parade of sugared-up little ones became a local tradition. Word of the party spread like wildfire and Front Street quickly became a destination for people from near and far on Halloween night.

In 1990 the LAC voluntarily stepped in to provide a sense of organization to the evening, which many people said was getting rowdy and out of control. They joined forces with the police to close off a portion of Front Street and worked with the Soroptomists, who organize the keiki parade, to combine it with the adult costume con-

munity. Many elaborate Halloween costumes have been proudly paraded across the LAC stage in the 17 years they’ve organized the contest.

The department’s recommendation for approval noted that the LAC has attempted to address some of the concerns Native Hawaiian groups had with the event and that a similar event has been run successfully and without incident since 1989.

“The LAC offered a lot of benefits for the events too, and a lot of those things the county and the taxpayers will have to pick up,” said Hunt.

Last year the LAC paid for more than 20 portable toilets across the historical district as well as safety lighting in dark areas around the Banyan tree to support the estimated 30,000 people who come to Front Street on Halloween.

They also paid for two extra police officers to keep an eye on the crowds and cleanup crews to return the district to an orderly state once the revelers had cleared.

Hunt also made a point to inform the CRC that voting against the permit application would not be the same as voting against Halloween. The permit was for entertainment stages and use of the historical district, but the public has a First Amendment right to show up in costume on Front Street regardless of whether or not the permit was approved.

“I expected to be able to work together to accomplish what we need to do to find solutions,” said LAC Executive Director Rena Sampson, who was also the applicant for the denied permit.

Most of the opposition to the event began after

a T-shirt design depicting a headless (and shirtless) Hawaiian warrior holding a pineapple surfaced. The LAC never sold the shirts.

O

bviously, the members of the LAC—an organization of merchants and restaurant, activity and hotel owners that promotes tourism and events in Lahaina—are in a position to profit from a well-attended Halloween celebration.

The Pioneer Inn has traditionally been booked up months in advance for Halloween; Lahaina restaurant and bar owners have reported sales increases of 25 to 50 percent for that night.

But the LAC does more than organize Halloween festivities. The group is the key sponsor of the International Festival of Canoes, an annual cultural event that promotes traditional Polynesian canoe carving. Lahaina restaurants and hotels, most of which are associated with the LAC, donate accommodations and meals to as many as 50 carvers who spend a week in Lahaina teaching and practicing this ancient art.

Lahaina merchants also support the annual Kamehameha parade that honors the Hawaiian king and other great, historical families.

“Our town is known for visitors and caters to visitors as well as residents,” said Sampson.

The current economic slowdown is being felt sharply by business all around Maui. This year the LAC did not have enough support to put on the Taste of Lahaina, an event that draws thousands of people each year to sample the creations of different Maui chefs and restaurants and benefits several nonprofit organizations.

“As a business owner I was disappointed in the decision because things like bathrooms, safety lighting and the organization of agencies, like the police and fire, were the role of the LAC,” said Jerry Kunitomo, the owner of BJ’s Pizzeria in Lahaina. “I think the permit application and the function of the event organizers became confused by the CRC.” The CRC and opponents of Halloween are hopeful that without the organization of entertainment and food booths by the LAC, Lahaina will become a less desirable place to spend the holiday and attendance will dwindle.

It’s impossible to estimate what impact the CRC decision will have on business in Lahaina this year.

Some say that without alternative entertainment and food options Front Street bars and restaurants could actually receive a boost in business.

According to the permit application, the community organizations that were lined up to take part in the Halloween event this year, and subsequently will suffer without the expected revenue, are: Lahaina Pop Warner, Lahaina High School Band, Kukulu Kumuhan, Santiago Association, Raenette Akima and Maui Surf Groms.

Opponents of Halloween feel strongly that economic gains are not a valid argument to keep the event alive and thriving in the historic district, and that the remnants of Lahaina’s important role in Hawaiian history hold more value than the spoils Front Street businesses take from the festivities.

“It hurts me to sit here and allow our history to be dictated by people that want money, that think of money,” Uilani Kapu of Kuleana Ku`ikahi testified to the CRC in 2007. “Go and do it in another area, not in our historical areas.”

In Lahiana Historical District one, which stretches from Shaw to Papalua streets along Front Street, there are several important cultural sites and remnants, both from when Lahaina was the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom and from the bustling years when it was a whaling mecca. The great taro patch of the Pi`ilani family stretched across the waterfront where the Pioneer Inn and the Banyan tree now sit. Just beyond that is Moku`ula, the ancient residence of Hawaiian chiefs and the focus of an enormous restoration project that has been underway for more than 10 years.

These and other sites are central to the issues Native Hawaiians have with Halloween in Lahaina, but they’re not the only sticking points. Lewdness, public drunkenness and rowdy behavior, combined with noise, traffic and parking issues have compounded the problem.

“Remember that this was the sacred home of the alii.” said Patty Nishiyama of Na Kupuna O Maui, a longtime opponent of Halloween in Lahaina. “There’s been so many changes, the children are confused. We don’t want confusion for our culture, our island.”

It would be a far stretch to say Halloween is a cultural celebration. In the Catholic religion Halloween falls on the day before All Saints Day and observers traditionally dress up as goblins and monsters to scare away bad spirits, but modern Halloween celebrations have little to do with any religious origins.

The festivities on Front Street probably have even less to do with their holy beginnings than most.

After the jovial and always adorable keiki parade has made its way through town under the adoring eyes of parents and grandparents, Front Street becomes a place for costumed adults to congregate and party into the night. The wide majority of people are respectful, good-natured and there to enjoy the annual entertainment and put their creativity to the test in the costume contest.

But a not insignificant number of partiers get overly intoxicated and show up in costumes too lewd or revealing for a family affair, an image the LAC has recently been trying to promote for the festivities. It could be argued, in fact, that watching the spectacle unfold is a major draw for a lot of the people who make their way down on Halloween.

“We don’t want our children to remember Lahaina as the Mardi Gras of the Pacific,” said Nishiyama, referring to an advertising slogan the LAC used to promote the event but abandoned due to objections by Native Hawaiian organizations.

Nishiyama also says she supports the annual keiki Halloween parade as an acceptable form of celebration for Maui’s children.

“It used to be Halloween for the keiki to go trickor-treating,” she said. “Now other islands look to Lahaina and call it Sin City. That’s not for our town and our future generations.”

“

T

this? How did such a small community become so divided? At what point did it become Halloween supporters against Halloween haters; Native Hawaiians against the LAC; cultural respect versus economic progress?

A share of the problem lies in the public hearing process and its tendency to pit neighbor against neighbor like tattle-telling school children. Passionate testimony came from both sides.

But in the end the county is left holding the bag and the community loses a beloved event.

Historical sites are no safer without the LAC’s organizational efforts and there’s no guarantee that they ever will be.

“I really hate to see our community torn apart,” said Kunitomo.

And people will wonder if other favored events, like the Fourth of July celebration or Chinese New Year in Lahaina, will come under fire for not being culturally significant enough to pass under the CRC’s watchful eye. MTW

The county now has a new pair of shoes to fill, ones that were willingly worn by the staff of the LAC. Martin says plans are in progress to ensure public safety on Halloween this year, although she gave no direct answers as to how the county plans to provide restrooms, lighting, water and other necessities that massive crowds require. She did say that the individual businesses on Front Street have HALLOWEEN INFO... been contacted and will play a larger role in organization this year’s event.

Laying down the raw Vegan eatery offers enticing alternatives ou may think you know everything that can be rendered from coconuts: rope from husk, bra from shell, curry/poolside sipper from nectar. You can even stick a lime inside one for to relieve your bellyache. Or so I hear. But chicken?

Y

Yes, it’s true: thick shreds of coconut flesh, when prepared the right way, make for an amazing tasting, perfectly textured dethroner of chicken.

Coated with a delightful (and, of course, top secret) blend of spices, this is just one of the eye-catchingly original dishes you’ll come across at Abundant ‘Aina Café—an all vegan, mostly raw food stand in Kahului that serves as an oasis of sorts among the greasy gridlock of Dairy Road.

Eating a meal consisting almost entirely of raw, organic ingredients may be unfathomable for some. Yet dwelling within a culture that views deep-fried Snickers bars as a delicacy does not mean we should live and die by the battered drumstick.

That said, it’s certainly easy to focus on what Abundant ‘Aina, now rounding out its first year in business, is not. Everything that Chef Marlene DePierre serves up

Tuesday through Saturday between the hours of 11am and 6pm is sans meat, gluten, wheat, dairy, and sugar.

Yet the focus here is not what’s absent but rather what’s there: flavor, originality, color, quality, quantity, vibrancy and more.

Abundant ‘Aina Cafe 333 Dairy Road, Suite 101 Kiosk, Kahului 893-AINA Tues.-Sat., 11am-6pm

What will strike you first about pretty much anything you order—whether smoothie, kimchee, or enchilada—is the way DePierre and crew use color to create something that appeals to both the taste buds and the eyes. The bright orange butternut squash soup I ordered, for example, was sprinkled with edible flowers and sprouts.

Also running the spectral gamut were the nori rolls. It’s pretty difficult to find vegan

nori rolls to begin with, so Abundant Aina’s take on them was a welcome sight. Their contents included manna (sprouted) bread, fresh avocado, buckwheat sprouts and cucumber.

Then there was the “pizza,” loaded with pesto and olives (the good kind), which may possibly be the most flavorful thing I have had in a long time, raw or otherwise.

Abundant Aina staff member Lauren Harris tells me that the newest menu item, coconut-based gelato, is tasty to an insane degree. (They had just run out when I was there.)

Adding to this place’s already abundant appealing factors is the ethical aspect of eating here. Patronizing an establishment that uses 90 percent local ingredients is a painless way to show one’s support for the environment as well as the local economy; to put a few bucks behind all that green talk.

“While people are drinking Tropicana orange juice there are oranges on the ground,” owner Daniel Hunt said.

place going. Visiting once will likely result in subsequent visits, especially after a conversation or two with the extremely friendly staff. I myself am thinking about ditching Clif bars in favor of their cacao drink for workout fuel. The drink is a delightful blend of sesame, coconut and hazelnut butters, cacao, maca (an herb that is said to boost vitality), goji berries and a pinch of cayenne. Then there’s the ginger turmeric shot, which sounds like a killer detox combo (too bad they’re not open on Sundays).

DePierre says that “adventuresome spirits” constitute much of the clientele here. It’s hard to imagine why someone gutsy enough to inhale fried chicken or goose liver pâté would want to avoid their tasty, grease-free and exponentially more ethical counterparts. MTW

Places to soak up Friday night with Saturday morning pancakes TASTY CRUST, WAILUKU Call ‘em whatever you want: griddle cakes, hot cakes, flapjacks—after a Friday night of indulging there’s no better cure for the Saturday morning gurgles (OK, a little graphic, sorry) than a piping hot stack of fried batter topped with fruit, nuts, syrup or, ideally, all of the above. And when it comes to pancakes, Tasty Crust is the undisputed spatula-wielding champ. We’ve heard different theories about what goes into their breakfast treats to make them so light and fluffy but frankly we don’t care. Why would we want to figure it out and try to make them at home when Tasty’s got us covered like a maple syrup slathered stack?

ART&ENTERTAINMENT

BY KATE BRADSHAW KATE@MAUITIME.COM

Xer0 sum Maui rock trio Xer0 Gravity wants to conquer the world ne of the biggest (yet most underrated) keys to an album’s success is the sound engineer’s skills at mixing it down. You can pack a studio with ridiculously skilled musicians whose tightness and chemistry approach Beatles-esque heights, but a smidge too much reverb or turning the rhythm guitar track a notch too high can mean the difference between a great listen and a CD beer coaster.

One of the initially striking elements of Haiku-based Xer0 Gravity’s debut release, titled The Best of Xer0 Gravity, is the quality of the sound. It’s clear that someone knew what he was doing.

That someone happens to be E. John Messersmith III, the band’s bass player.

Until recently Messersmith was the soundman at Charley’s in Paia, one of Maui’s top venues for a variety of musical styles.

Before even placing the disc in a CD player, one may wonder why a band would name their two-yearsin-the-making debut CD Best of …

O

“We thought we’d start where everyone ended,” drummer Jose Ortiz said. “There’s nothing else to compare it to, so that’s why we call it the best.”

Makes sense.

Also, Messersmith added, the music serves as something of a showcase of all of the band’s influences.

Although their MySpace page lists “everyone, everything, everywhere,

22

SEPTEMBER 18, 2008

everyday” as the band’s influences, it’s easy to tease out who has inspired them most from a listen or two. Led Zeppelin sticks out quite predominantly, though there are some pretty strong musical similarities to Tool and Van Halen as well.

Some tracks even hinted at Boston, others at King Crimson and still others gave off a few wisps of AC(lightning bolt)DC. Ortiz and Messersmith also list Talking Heads, the Beatles and R.E.M. among their main influences.

Though a rock and roll band through and through, Xer0 Gravity does not seem at all afraid to part ways with formula when it doesn’t suit a particular song. The dynamic nature of nearly every tune on Best of makes the band’s sound stand out.

The CD’s second track, “Ernest Goes to Hell,” for example, kicks in with guitarist Freddy Turk’s repetition of a solid guitar riff before giving way to a more nuanced chord progression for the chorus, complete with a staccato bass line that walks into each new chord with an element of drama reminiscent of a Ray Manzarek (formerly of the Doors) bass line (though Manzarek, of course wasn’t playing his bass lines on bass guitar).

The album’s fifth track, “Free,” has the feel of a late ‘70s rock ballad, complete with a bright lead, a catchy breakdown and even a Bostonlike wail at the song’s culmination.

Nearly every song on the CD has lyrics that reveal social consciousness; a relief and a welcome departure from the norm, given the creepy lyrical preoccupation with romantic relationships that spans all musical genres and all eras (Zappa notwithstanding). Yet it lacks the overuse of multi-tracked lead vocals and the oversized ego many rock songs carry with them.

After a few listens it’s easy to see why The Best of xer0 Gravity took two years to write and record. It’s quite obvious that the constitution of each track was plotted out in an exacting manner.

Given the band’s aspirations, the time spent in production is well justified.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Messersmith and Ortiz said that factors like a shortage of venues, the limited onisland competition within the genre and the lack of demand for original music make being a successful original rock and roll band on Maui especially challenging. Instead, they plan on using the Valley Isle as more of a launch pad from which Ortiz promised the band will “conquer the world.”

Said Ortiz: “Usually a man is not a prophet in his own land.” MTW You can check out The Best of Xer0 Gravity on iTunes or on the band’s Web site, www.xer0gravty.com (that’s a zero in the middle not an “o”).

Honestly, my favorite astrologer is Caeriel Crestin.

Sadly, to the best of my knowledge, Caeriel doesn’t have a book or blog detailing the intricacies of the zodiac. However, Linda Goodman does a pretty good job of giving the twelve signs their own distinct personalities, while exemplifying them via verses from Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’.

Goodman chronicles each Sun Sign, then further categorizes them into Man, Woman, Child, Boss and Employee. Are you wondering why your Capricorn boss never seems to go home? Well, as Goodman will further explain, he’s already made the office his home. This is a wonderful starting point for people who would like to learn about astrology.

Linda Goodman’s Love Signs

Powered By BIODIESEL

Linda Goodman Now that you’ve gotten to know yourself, it’s time to see how you match up with other people. Don’t deny it; checking compatibility is one of the big draws of astrology. Are you a Gemini wondering how you’d fare with that mysterious Scorpio babe?

Can that Aries fire ever turn into ice? Here, Goodman gives an in-depth profile of male/female relationships within the realm of the zodiac. I especially like how she never tells the reader which relationships to avoid, instead emphasizing that all relationships will take some work.

That’s pretty good advice by itself. Something to keep in mind while exploring what the stars have in store for you: this book was originally published in the ‘70s, when the love may not have been quite free, but at least it was still on sale.

Darkside Zodiac Stella Hyde So, you’ve gotten to know your sign and how you relate to other people. You must be thinking you’re pretty smooth, huh? Before you hit the streets with the “selfconfidence” and “charm” your specific sign affords you, please remember that those traits can also translate as “arrogant” and “outright obnoxious.” Not so raring to go anymore, are you? Darkside Zodiac is my type of astrology. Sarcastic and witty, it emphasizes the, well, dark side of the zodiac. Wondering which sign is the most likely to stab you in the back or sleep with your partner? What about which sign is the most likely candidate for an STD? Darkside Zodiac will tell you that and more (even though you might have not wanted to know). While the book is admittedly snarky, it does have a lot of information pertaining to some of the more complicated aspects of the astrology, including the importance of ascendants as well as planetary influences. You know, just in case you believe in that sort of rubbish. MTW

other hunchbacked “Igor” in the dark town of Malaria, this one dreams of creating his own imposing monster to win the first place prize at the annual Evil Science Fair that Dr. Schadenfreude (voiced by Eddie Izzard) has dominated for the past 17 years. With the help of a grumpy and indestructible bucktoothed bunny named Scamper (hilariously

voiced by Steve Buscemi) and a lively brain in a jar (Sean Hayes), Igor creates an unpredictably sensitive female hippogriff named Eve (delightfully voiced by Molly Shannon) who thinks of herself only as an aspiring actress. The non-scary animation is charming and the goofy humor is appropriate for little ones. Christian Slater, Jay Leno and Jennifer Coolidge add their inspired vocal talents to the Halloween-themed fun.

September kid’s movies are few and far between, so it comes as some solace that Igor, with its asymmetrical characters, is a gentle kind of children’s movie that eschews toilet humor (mostly) in favor of a colorful gothic romanticism that pokes fun in all directions. Much of its subtle charm comes from uptempo songs by jazz great Louis Prima. The first act especially features jump blues tunes that percolate under the zany action, which takes place mainly in the confines of a giant lab where Igor sets about animating his bride-of-Frankenstein-styled creature with an evil bone (we know so because it glows green) in her finger. In order to win at the science fair, Eve must knock out the lesser creations of every other mad genius

using a brutish physicality that she simply doesn’t consciously possess.

In spite of her gigantic size and severely lopsided body—she’s like a hippo ballerina crossed with a stick figure—Eve fancies herself as a thespian ingenue.

PICKS

Nellie-licious

The legend returns

Thursday (Sept. 18), 7:30pm, McCoy Studio Theater, MACC

Friday (Sept. 19), 10pm, Casanova, Makawao

[STAGE] In case you’re wondering: Ann Coulter is still alive (though whether she was ever well I can’t say) and on Maui. Actually, it’s Nora Burns, whose impersonation of the above-mentioned harpy as part of the sketch troupe The Nellie Olesons is pretty spot-on. If done right, sketch comedy can be a quite brilliant form. Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Mr. Show, and The Kids in the Hall are among my very quotable favorites. The form seems to readily lend itself to political and social satire as well as sheer absurdity.

L.A. based sketch comedy troupe The Nellie Olesons (named for a Little House on the Prairie character) finally brings its brand of brainy, racy, and off-the-wall comedy to Maui this weekend, to our good fortune. The troupe isn’t afraid of sex, politics, spandex or anything else that may offend; this is definitely a night to spring for a sitter/ditch that cute but misguided FOX Newsite you’ve been seeing. Presented by Manhattan Mama’s Coconut Cabaret. $20.

[MUSIC] For me, one of the most unappealing things about the dance floor is often the music. I would rather stay home, where the booze is cheaper, than feign tolerance for music whose lyricists are clearly fixated on T&A. Get over it, man; it’s been done. This is why it’s a relief that Saturday night an independent, conscious hip hop artist with local ties will grace the stage at Casanova.

Grouch, formerly of the band Living Legend, has returned to Maui from L.A. with his wife and baby daughter.

A music producer since 1995, he’ll be performing the latest tracks off his most recent offering, “Show You the World.” Guest performers will include Oahu’s Hooked on Phonics, Revolutionary Habitat (dig the name!), and Nohokai (both Mauibased). $20

KANOA FRIENDS THE PA‘IA ALL STARS AND

PAIA TOWN PAU HANA PARTY IS BACK WITH:

BY KATE BRADSHAW KATE@MAUITIME.COM

Rock today, Off Tomorrow

Gypsy rock Saturday (Sept. 20), 7:30-10:30pm, Café Marc Aurel, Wailuku

Saturday (Sept. 20), 10pm, Casanova, Makawao

[MUSIC] If you seek a dose of melodic, psychedelic folk-rock, then look no further than Café Marc Aurel this Saturday night. Mojomana’s influences are apparent. From their generally upbeat tunes you can pick up bits and pieces of the Velvet Underground, Mazzy Star, the Doors and, to some degree, the Grateful Dead. Singer Melissa M.’s vocals are comparable to those of (former Mazzy Star vocalist) Hope Sandoval, which is not a comparison/compliment I just throw around. Guitarist Rodney K’s snaking leads also invoke Mazzy Star, though I’d even compare them to the Doors’ Robby Krieger’s bottleneck slide leads (think “End of the Night” or “Moonlight Drive”). What distinguishes these guys from the abovementioned baroque pop mainstays is their backbone, also known as drummer Dan Minichiello. His upbeat style gives the music an element of danceability. Quite a rare sound that I wholeheartedly recommend you check out. Free.

[MUSIC] What stands out most about Off Tomorrow’s sound is its impossible catchiness. Throw in the band’s positive hybrid reggae/R&B/rock sounds and flawless harmonies and it’s no wonder these guys play all over the island. The guys, all six of them from a different village in Samoa, have been playing together as a band on Maui for years. The idea behind the band name comes from what Ilima Lokan, the band’s manager, calls a “backyard session,” during which one band member asked another, “you off tomorrow?”

Saturday they play Casanova in Makawao.

The venue’s huge dance floor makes it easier for attendees to legally groove to Off Tomorrow’s upbeat sound (as it is often hard to do, given the LC’s strict yet arbitrary rules about dancing at Maui County watering holes). $7.

[FASHION] So the Dow tanked 500 points last Monday. The job market is dismal at best. You drop fifty bucks every time you go to the grocery store no matter how much you buy. Why go on about the shitty economy? The point is, darling, that you may want to think about your financial health. Also, we’ve been laughing at you behind your back for spending $250 on a wallet. Not sure where to turn? Well, ultra-chic consignment boutiques like Elise in Kahului may be answer. This place has some pretty killer deals on items ranging from understated to funky. This Sunday the store will be showcasing its wares by way of a fashion show. Drown your financial woes in a cosmo and check out the many hip, elegant, funky etc. things that can be found at this Alamaha St. boutiqe, accessories and all. $5.

Hair peace, bed peace, Maui peace Sunday (Sept. 21), 1pm-sunset, Keopuolani Ampitheater [FESTIVAL] At this moment I am very proud of Maui County Council. They have actually gone through the trouble of drawing up a proclamation declaring September 21st as “Peace Day,” for the county, which corresponds with the United Nations’ International Day of Peace. Not that I think they’re a bunch of squares, but declaring anything in a straightforward way is pretty uncharacteristic of elected officials. This Sunday’s Peace Fest will serve as the inaugural Maui Peace Day celebration. It will feature musical performances by acts from across the globe, including Zuni (from Africa), Robin Youngblood & Pueo Native American drum circle, Sundance Maui Taiko Drummers, and Maui’s own Marty Dread and Leiohu Ryder. Slated to speak are Maui County Mayor Charmaine Tavares and spiritual leader Ram Dass. There will, of course, be food, keiki activities, and charitable organization booths. Stand and be counted.

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) If I go a day without caffeine, I get a terrible headache. This “harmless” addiction definitely has me in its grip. It’s hard to view something as innocuous as a cup of coffee as a tremendous handicap, but that might just be the case. I’m somewhat incapacitated without it. There’s something in your life that looks an awful lot like this. You’re a mess if you don’t get it, but you don’t regard it as a problem because it’s not traditionally something people consider problematic (as opposed to a heroin addiction, which might raise a few more red flags). Take a second look at it. Does the pleasure of that cup of coffee really outweigh the negative impact of not having it? It may just be time to eliminate its hold on you altogether.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Don’t let your fear of confrontation make things worse for you or anyone else involved. Like it or not, your weirdly comfortable position straddling the fence didn’t work out this time, and you ended up tumbling down on one side of things. Don’t pretend you’re still up there, seeing both sides equally. You’ve got to go ahead and speak your new truth, from down here in the trenches, from your bias, from the side you chose, like it or not. Doing otherwise is not only unfair, it’s dishonest. Besides, there’s a reason you fell in with this side of things and not the other. Spend this week trying to figure out what it is.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Consider a stinging spree. You’ve got the itch to go around and stir up some shit. It’s for the greater good, perhaps. Sometimes a little pain is the only way we can break through to something better, more enlightened, more understanding, more compassionate. However, I would argue that you have so much of this life-enriching (but painful) venom stored up that to deliver it all to one person might be too much.

It’s kind of harsh. Instead, I would consider giving small doses to everyone you know. It seems a little weird, but think about it this way: how could a little pain, delivered by you, make someone’s life a whole lot better?

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) You’re so good at calming drama queens that you often end up surrounded by them. I know it’s tiring to have to keep putting out fires, but don’t burn out now. Imagine what would happen if you just threw up your hands and said, “That’s it, I’m out.” Disaster! If you do think you need to extricate yourself from the situation, back out slowly. That alone will probably also elicit more drama, but you’d end up at least avoiding the total devastating (and much more histrionic) collapse that’d happen if you made a dramatic exit yourself.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Right now you’re a plump, juicy summer peach. You’re amazingly delicious and wonderful. But if someone doesn’t take a bite right away, you could very well go soft and past your prime. You won’t be nearly so delicious a month from now if all you do is languish on the branch. Rest assured that there are many, many people who’d be delighted to take a bite of you, so to speak. They just may not know it’s an option. Clue them in. It’d be a shame for people to miss out on what you have to offer just because you were too shy.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) There’s no rush, so stop pushing so hard. Your impatience to get to where you want to go is threatening to capsize the whole ship, and your frantic paddling isn’t directed enough to be effective anyway.

I understand your frustration with other people, who are too slow to pick up the oars and choose a direction, but in this case goading them or scolding them won’t do anything but cause further delays. You’ve got to chill out and bite your tongue. That’s bound to be extremely difficult, I know—but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s this week’s test. Failing it will only cause more delays—and sore feelings, to boot.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Don’t freak out if things don’t play out the way you expected. Remember, whenever you’re able to roll with surprises like these, you end up much happier overall. Usually, things turn out better than what you imagined in the first place. For that reason, try not to be too attached to one particular outcome. Have faith that whatever happens will turn out to be the best possible scenario for you, even if its positive aspects aren’t yet obvious. When you can look back on this time, you’ll see just why it worked out the way it did.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Dogs live in the moment. They have memories, of course—they’ll remember if someone hit them or gave them something good to eat. But I doubt they dwell on those memories or let them affect their behavior if that person isn’t standing right in front of them. Can you be more canine this week? I’m worried that you’ll let memories of totally different people negatively influence your reactions to new people coming into your life. It’s not fair to judge or mistrust them based on what happened to you before. Try to forget those things ever happened, and give these guys the blank slate they deserve,

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) This week is all about second, third, maybe even tenth chances. Actually maybe that’s not the best way to phrase it. It’s all about the time someone’s intentions finally “stick,” no matter how often they’ve tried and failed before. If you can actually be open-minded enough to give them the opportunity to make things happen the way they’ve always said they would—this time, against all odds, they may very well do just that. Of course, no one would blame you if you were reluctant to go out on a limb yet again, after they let you down so many times before. In fact, some might call you stupid for trying again. This time, though, it may be worth the risk. If the hopeful part of you says, “Give it another go,” I’d listen.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Don’t be foolish. You might as well decide to go on a three-day trek into the desert without bringing any water, confident that you’ll “find some somewhere.” That’s unrealistically optimistic, and so is what you’re contemplating. I don’t think you need to be horribly cynical or pessimistic here, but go ahead and prepare for the worst-case scenario anyway. I’m 90% sure it won’t happen, but why take the risk? This way your ass is covered no matter what happens. If you bring more water into the desert than you need, you can use it to irrigate a cactus on your way out.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) You can be controlling. Sometimes you get a hold of an idea in your crab claws and you just won’t let go. You’ll do whatever it takes to steer things in the direction you want. What you’re missing is that sometimes it is simply better to just let things unfold. Many times they work out better than what you would have manifested by insisting that everything get done your way. I’m not suggesting you let go of an idea you feel passionate about. All I’m saying is that maybe you should just hang on and see where it takes you, instead of where you can take it.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) What if you could just make a decision to be ten percent louder, faster, stronger, and more effective?

Would you do it? Remember, with that much increased visibility and power, your level of responsibility would increase, too. Would you want that? It’s okay to aspire to be more than you are, but be aware of all that comes with it. If you really think about it, it might be more than you want to do. If you do step up and accept the added power, make sure you also accept the responsibility that comes with it, with a whole heart and open eyes. Otherwise you could end up seriously letting people down.
