resigned a couple weeks ago after fouling up the Hurricane Katrina response. b) The former judges and stewards commissioner for the International Arabian Horse Association. c) Humiliated because Bush replaced him as top overseer of federal aid efforts in New Orleans with a Coast Guard admiral. d) The most recent of many, many officials Bush has fired for outright incompetence. e) All of the above. f) a, b and c only.

I was searching for a spot to lay down when I saw you guys, a group of 10 or more boogie boarders gathering your stuff and preparing to take off. As I watched all of you walk away I noticed that you left a few things that you must have forgotten. I went over to get them, but you had already gone too far.

BY ERIC PAUL SHAFFER

Stating the Obvious And a dead rat named Starfire at the Maui Writers Conference her boys in a tragedy rivaling that of the Trojan women bearing forth the body of Hector.

What’s obvious here is that you don’t know everything about any writer if you know him or her only through the writing. The writers presenting at the conference were phenomenally successful authors, yet they all hinted or blurted that they were oddly limited a bit by success because editors and readers expect the same tea in a brand-new teacup with every new work. Success, like anything else, can be a box. Sometimes, only something as simple as the tale of a dead rat can teach us such an obvious lesson. MTW

Sweet inspiration...

Three days after I arrived on Maui in 1998, I attended the Maui Writers Conference, and I’ve attended every one since. As a veteran, I can tell you that the fun is in the fury of the interchange between wildly successful writers and their wannabe counterparts, of which, of course, I am one. Of the latter.

No matter which authors speak at the conference, I make a point of listening. I listen because often the speakers state the brilliantly obvious. You may think that’s a waste of time. It’s not. Many wannabe writers get way ahead of themselves. Long before they have inked the first sentence of their novels, they’re designing the Tshirts and casting the movie. Too often, what is obvious is overlooked.

Arthur Levine is the American publisher of J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series—as if I need to say that. Rowling is reputedly the richest woman in England because of the magic she created one day while delayed for four hours on a train.

With nothing to do, she invented the characters that people the world of Hogwarts Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

She was a struggling single mother desperate for money, yet instead of scoping the next mega-million-dollar self-help book, she spent her time creating stories of a young boy who discovers he’s a wizard on his eleventh birthday. Most people are pleased to observe that time is better spent inventing schemes to pull in a few

more dollars (or pounds) than in making magic, but, of course, they are as erroneous as they are smug. The obvious lesson is in Levine’s valuable little piece of advice: “Write what you want to write.”

Jodi Reamer stated the obvious, too, although since I don’t know everything yet, what she said wasn’t obvious to me. She represents writers of children’s literature, and she explained the demarcations of that amazingly complex field. I had no idea that there are at least five major divisions of books for kids, from picture books to easy-to-read to chapter books to middle grade to young adult fiction with even more exacting distinctions within each level.

What distinguishes the content of children’s literature from anything else? Apparently, not much. Well-developed characters, engaging plots, clearly-drawn settings, and significant and relevant themes are required. For me, the obvious fact needing statement was that the main character in children’s literature should be the same age as the intended audience. That solves the mystery of why a masterpiece like Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird was so easily ignored in my college surveys of the American novel, yet is regularly found in middle and high school classrooms. Apparently, the scholars of literature only read about big people.

I also had the opportunity to embarrass myself in front of four hundred people. Eric Larson, author of Devil in the White City, illustrated a point in his Saturday evening presentation by referring to science-fiction thrillers of the fifties. He requested a show of

hands concerning who remembered the classic and apparently excessively little-known movie, The Crawling Eye. I had, and I love to raise my hand, so, delighted, I thrust my hand into the air. My pal Jordan laughed quietly.

“Look around,” he whispered, “You’re the only person in this room raising his hand.”

Only two of us in the room had seen the movie, and one was at the podium. But now I have more in common with Eric Larson than our excellent given names and our presence on The New York Times Bestseller list. Okay, only two things. What’s obvious here? Writers must know a lot of remarkably obscure information, and we will never use all of it, unless we wish to embarrass ourselves.

The most pleasant surprise of the conference was Jane Hamilton’s keynote speech, daringly titled “The Beauty of Disaster!”

Hamilton is widely honored: New York Times bestseller, winner of the 1989 PEN/Hemingway Foundation Award, shortlisted for Britain’s Orange Prize, and an author chosen for Oprah’s Book Club.

Considering her relentlessly deft but oftendreary fiction, I was blindsided by her gutbustingly funny presentation. She recounted many years of duping her brother with stories of a recorder-playing family of sisters, one of whom was an invented schoolmate with the unlikely name of Phingus Gemelli. She described a horribly funny encounter with death of a pet rat, horribly encumbered with the name Starfire, expired unexpectedly and was carried out with weeping and wailing of

Cunning Lingle What Governor Linda Lingle said in a Sept. 13, 2005 Honolulu StarBulletin story on the state Public Utilities Commission’s role in our current high gas prices: “Their effort involved months of research and of evidence gathering in order to settle on their decision.”

What she didn’t say: In the same article cited above, state Senate Consumer Protection Chairman Ron Menor said the Public Utilities Commission has fouled up the wholesale gas price cap situation by ignoring its own consultant on how to set up price structures. In fact, Menor said the commission “exacerbated the problem” and could have “done a better job of establishing a fairer and more effective gasoline price regulation.”

The skier rattles the bucket loudly to infuriate the yak, which then charges down, yanking the skier rapidly uphill. (2) Ancient, luge-like Hawaiian lava sledding, whereby a daredevil lies on his stomach, four inches off the ground on a handcrafted board about six feet long, and slides down a 700-foot-long rock formation at speeds from 30 to 70 mph.

MOTHER OF THE YEAR In July, firefighters in Stamford, Conn., had to break a car window, against the owner’s wishes, to rescue her 23-monthold son, whom she had accidentally locked inside along with the key. The kid had been sweltering for more than 20 minutes when Susan Guita Silverstein, 42 (who was later charged with reckless endangerment), implored firefighters to let her go home and get a spare key so they wouldn’t have to damage her Audi A4. For infants on an 88-degree day, 20 minutes inside is dangerous, said the firefighters.

ROUGH JUSTICE

GREAT HONEYMOON

In June, a judge in Edinburgh, Texas, accepted a plea bargain in which Robert W. Thompson, 46, who had pleaded no contest to aggravated sexual assault of a 7-year-old girl, was sentenced to no jail time but 320 hours of community service, to be specifically spent knitting afghans. The judge was sympathetic to Thompson’s frail heart condition.

Reuters reported in May that Yu Haitao and his bride, Fang Shuling, had filed a complaint against their honeymoon hotel in Shanghai after Yu fell off the bed and broke his arm in front of friends and family who were preparing to give him a hard time in what is apparently a traditional “heckle the newlyweds” ceremony. Fang said the bed should have been safe to stand on.

Said Glenn A. Reed, 31, upon being sentenced in Waco, Texas, in July to 99 years in prison as a habitual criminal (after rejecting a plea bargain that would have meant a 15-year sentence): “There’s things I choose to do, like, if I go in a store and choose to take a Snickers bar, if you catch me, you catch me. If not, I’m going to go home and eat it up and go on about my business, dog.” And then there is Lena Driskell, 78, who was indicted for the June jealous-rage fatal shooting of her former boyfriend, age 85, in an Atlanta senior citizens’ home and who told police upon her arrest, “I did it, and I’d do it again!”

Rudeness has become so prevalent in Japan, according to a May dispatch from Tokyo in The Times of London, that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has convened its commission on complaints, whose translated official name is the “Study Group Relating to the Prevention of Behavior That Causes Discomfort Among Numerous People in Public Places.” Among the public habits bothering various complainers are putting on makeup, sitting on the floor, uninhibitedly reading pornographic magazines, wearing strong perfume and “using an umbrella to practice golf swings.”

LEAST COMPETENT ANIMALS

A majority of golfers in Iran these days are women (about 800 in number), who play wearing the traditional head scarf and tunic, according to a July New York Times dispatch from Tehran. (The country’s one grass course has only 12 holes after the other six were confiscated by Revolutionary Guards, but there are several sand-based courses.) Another New York Times July dispatch, from El Alto, Bolivia, reported on “Carmen Rosa” and the Cholitas, who are indigenous female wrestlers who toss each other around the ring, wearing bowler hats, shawls and multilayered skirts (clothing of their native Aymara people), as part of a Mexican- (and U.S.-) style pro

Veterinarian John Brunner was called to Milton, Tenn., in June to help release a cow that two hours earlier had stuck her head in a narrow, hollow opening in a tree and couldn’t get it out. Using ropes and a tractor, Brunner freed her in 20 minutes. (Said the cow’s owner, “It’s a nosy animal.”) And in August, police in Tenafly, N.J., used bolt cutters to remove the plastic mayonnaise jar that a coyote from the Tenafly Nature Center had gotten stuck on its snout.

SUPER-FORGETFUL PEOPLE The director of a Canadian landmine-detection company said in August that he had flown back from Sri Lanka with TNT in his luggage that he had just forgotten about. (Three airport security systems missed it.) And a 24-year-old man was arrested in August at the Oklahoma City airport for having a homemade pipe bomb in his luggage that he said he had just forgotten about. And when a 36-year-old woman was arrested for bigamy in Hordaland County, Norway, in June, she told officers that she had just forgotten she was already married.

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Christopher Franklin, 20, became the latest man to flee from police on foot (from a traffic stop in Moore, Okla., in June) only to have his getaway aborted when he tripped on his loose, baggy pants (having run only about 30 feet).

And in Durham, N.C., Otis Wilkins, 45, was charged with attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend and others in July for tossing a plastic bottle filled with gunpowder into their car, except that, as sometimes happens, he missed the window, and the bottle bounced back at his feet, igniting his clothes into a fireball, sending him to the hospital.

‘Surfing Like a Girl’

PHOTO: SARA ARTMAN

A new generation of female rippers If you didn’t immediately recognize them from the magazines or large posters on the walls of local surf stores, you would hardly guess the Doherty girls to be anything but happy young blond girls passing by in the grocery store or sitting at the adjacent table in the restaurant.

But Lani and Kulia Doherty are active members of a new generation of female athletes. And they are very young, especially considering the extent of their experiences with contests and what it takes to become a professional.

Both girls have competed in around 5060 contests each and have done very well in them. They’ve also acquired many sponsors, such as Roxy, Surf Co., Da Kine, Dick Brewer XTR Surf Boards, Greek Surf Boards of Huntington Beach, Turbo Tunnel Fins and Reef. Yet their genuine joy in the sport and total lack of conceit is readily apparent.

“We love to surf because it’s so fun just to ride the waves,” said the Doherty girls. “[We love] to do lots of maneuvers, to make turns and to be out in the action and see friends.”

Recently, Lani received first place in a contest while competing against only boys in the Menehune division. Since then, the contest organizers have made separate divisions for the male and female competitors.

“I really like competing because I like to be out with only five other people,” said Lani. Her advice to other young rippers?

“Have fun! That’s what it’s all about.”

I hung out with the girls one day checking surf spots, as we drove around in the Doherty’s SUV. The car was packed with many boards, preparing for any and all conditions, as well as the random necessities most surf vehicles require: fins, wax, rash guards, board shorts, bathing suits and naturally, sand.

As we talked about recent scary movies and shared shark stories, it became clear that Lani and Kulia are just young girls living a Maui lifestyle, and they just happen to be well-known sponsored surfers.

Everywhere we went, the Doherty girls were approached by their many supporters—whether it was by a popular fellow ripper like Bethany Hamilton at the NSSA contest, or by legendary fixtures of the surf industry like Woody Brown and Bob “Ole” Olsen at Mala Wharf. Yet despite all of the attention they received, the girls were always well mannered and considerate.

Although there have been many inspiring female surfers in past generations, there didn’t seem to be enough women in to create the kind of impact this new gen-

Lani, Kulia and dad Mike Doherty eration of young female surfers are now making on this once male-dominated sport.

“Surfing like a girl” no longer has the same stigma or negative connotation because of a new spotlight focusing on female rippers who are etching their own place within the surf community. Rippers like Lani and Kulia.

“Girls don’t surf like boys—much like girls don’t dance like boys,” said Lani and Kulia’s dad Mike, who has been surfing for over 45 years. “They have a unique style all their own that is amazing to watch.”

You might say these girls were destined to be water women, considering they were born about as close to the ocean as possible, without actually being in it. They grew up in Kuau and were in the water before they could walk— surfing before they knew any other lifestyle.

Lani has been surfing since she was five years old; now at the age of 12 she has immense talent and experience that is steadfastly paving her future in the surf industry.

Her younger sister Kulia, age nine, has been surfing since she was four and also seems to be well on her way to becoming a huge icon in the world of water sports.

These young women have already become indelible figures, epitomizing surf pros with their faces plastered all over Roxy posters in surf stores and magazines. But most importantly, Lani and Kulia are part of a movement of young women who are ripping hard and catching the attention of everyone watching, subsequently changing the future of surfing, and redefining it with each passing day.

Throw your wetsuit—with your body still shrink-wrapped inside—in the dryer and then set it on “delicate.” That’s what it feels like to move into a little bohemian house in Paia with a roommate I’ll call Moonbeam. Yeah, we all make mistakes, but you really can’t blame anybody but yourself when at 22 you decide to move into a beach house with a hyperactive hippie more than twice your age.

“Oh yeah, I’m up at five every morning,” she said in between mouthfuls of organic spinach salad while I was absent-mindedly signing the lease about three months ago. “I like to hit the surf at sunrise, come home and nap, and then recharge my mana with some afternoon yoga. In the evenings I have a trip hop/jazz fusion dance class. I like to stay busy. So, I mean, you will hardly ever see me. You’ll practically have the place to yourself.”

“Good.” I said. “I like it quiet. Don’t worry about me either, I’m a freelance writer. Working on a lot of little projects.

I’ll pretty much keep to myself.”

Twenty-four hours later I’m walking in from my first trip to the grocery store.

“What’d you get?” Moonbeam is chanting. “What’d you get? What’d you get?”

She starts rifling though my grocery bags like a toddler in a toy store.

Suddenly, her flapping eyelids freeze.

Lying exposed on the counter are some turkey cold cuts. She looks like she’s staring at her own dead fetus.

The next day, on a muggy 90-degree afternoon in July, the bathroom door swings open while I’m inside shaving.

Moonbeam’s wispy, 110-pound frame stands there, doing its best to look all yoga toned, natural and enlightened. Slivers of light reflect in a dizzying myriad off her red-orange, surf-tangled hair.

“Are you strong?” She asks.

“Nope,” I say.

“Well, good,” she says. “You don’t need to be. I just need someone to help me get up on the roof. I think the wind blew the satellite dish over. I was right in the middle of Sex in the City—it was a good one, too. Can you help me? Pleeeese?”

My eyes tilt lazily from her doughy, incense-smoke wrinkled face to her tooshort-for-a-19-year-old miniskirt to her glimmering belly ring.

“You going up in that?” I ask.

“Don’t be such an old fart,” she says, tugging like a child at my shirt. “Just hold the ladder for me.”

I know what’s going to happen. A short skirt sashaying up a ladder can only mean one thing: a panoramic view of what’s rarely seen with the lights on, let alone in

the light of day.

Believe me, I never wanted to look. The woman is old enough to be my mother.

But I’m a moderately young male. If there’s a skirt above eye level, my brainstem just takes over. My neck cranes back and before I can say, “Oh dear God, what have I done?” it’s too late.

I spent the next two days with a 30-pack of Coors Light trying to erase my memory. It didn’t work, and she gave me hell for not recycling.

As I’m folding laundry the very next morning, Moonbeam chirps in from across the hall.

“We need to talk,” she says. “It’s about your eating habits.”

If you’ve read Fast Food Nation, you know how the conversation went. We decided that I should probably cook outside for the remainder of my stay. Steaks taste better over charcoal anyway.

If only habitual barbecuing were the least of

my worries. In the ensuing days she suggested I should have refused to vote for a president, as a form of protest, or at the least wasted my vote on Ralph Nader and the Green Party.

She suggested that I not drink, because alcohol is a form of government control, being the last widely available, legal drug besides caffeine. Moonbeam told me I should avoid coffee, too, unless I spend the extra $4 on organic coffee grounds. Funny thing is she has no problem with smoking copious amounts of pot, or selling it to high school kids, but that’s okay because it’s organic.

I’m a liberal guy, but I couldn’t help thinking this was just wrong. One the one hand, there are peace loving, abstract, inner child types who you might smoke a dime bag with at a music festival. But then there are people like Moonbeam: entrepreneurial, self-centered, jump down your throat yuppies in disguise who would prefer fitting in with a clique than having a little compassion for their fellow human beings.

Of course, maybe I’m just biased for spending so much time with Moonbeam. MTW

So Many Suckers

PHOTO: JOEL AUERBACH-US PRESSWIRE/ZUMA PRESS

Leave Katrina relief efforts to the government Hurricane Katrina has prompted Americans to donate more than $700 million to charity, reports the Chronicle of Philanthropy. So many suckers, so little foresight.

Government has been shirking its basic responsibilities since the ‘80s, when Ronald Reagan sold us his belief that the sick, poor and unlucky should no longer count on “big government” to help them, but should rather live and die at the whim of contributors to private charities. The Katrina disaster, whose total damage estimate has risen from $100 to $125 billion, marks the culmination of Reagan’s privatization of despair.

The American Red Cross leads the postKatrina sweepstakes, quickly closing in on the $534 million it took in just after 9/11.

But Red Cross spokeswoman Sheila Graham told the AP it needs another half billion “to provide emergency relief over the coming weeks for thousands of evacuees who have scattered among 675 of its shelters in 23 states.”

Shelley Borysiewicz of Catholic Charities USA, which has raised $7 million thus far, also continues to solicit donations: “We don’t want people to lose sight of the fact that this is going to take years of recovery, and we’re going to be there to help the people who fall through the cracks.”

What “cracks”? Why should New Orleans’ dispossessed have to live in private shelters? We live in the United States, not Mali. There’s only one reason flood victims aren’t getting help from the government: because the government refuses to help them. The Red Cross and its cohorts are letting lazy, incompetent and corrupt politicians off the hook, and so are their donors.

It’s ridiculous, but people evidently need to be reminded that the United States is not only the world’s wealthiest nation but the wealthiest society that has existed anywhere, ever. The U.S. government can easily pick up the tab for people inconvenienced by bad weather—if helping them is a priority. That goes double for Katrina, a disaster caused by the government’s conscious decision to eliminate the $50 million pittance needed to improve New Orleans’ levees.

For our leaders the optional war against Iraq is such a priority, which the Congressional Budget Office expects to cost $600 billion by 2010. That’s four or five Katrinas right there. (That’s also where the levee money went.) Because rich people are always a political priority, their taxes have been slashed by $4 trillion over a decade—the equivalent of 32 Katrinas.

LC Watch Where is Edwin Vila?

Miami Dolphins cheerleaders collect money for Hurricane Katrina relief fund So worried are our public servants about the tax burden placed on the rich that they’re looking out for rich dead people. This is why they’ve gutted the estate tax that, at a cost of $75 billion annually, will run half a Katrina a year. Trickle-down economists beginning with Milton Friedman shout “starve the beast,” but while the social programs are put on a diet, the mean and powerful pig out more than ever.

Disaster relief is too important to be left to private fundraisers, with their self-sustaining fundraising expenses, administrative overhead (nine percent for the Red Cross) and their parochial, often religious, agendas. It’s also way too expensive.

In the final analysis, after the floodwaters have receded and the poor neighborhoods of New Orleans have been razed under eminent domain, major charities will be lucky if they’ve managed to raise one percent of the total cost of Katrina. Congress, recognizing the reality that only the federal government possesses the means to deal with the calamity, has already allocated $58 billion—over 70 times the amount raised by charities—to flood relief along the Gulf of Mexico. As Bush says, that’s only a “down payment.”

Cutting a check to the Red Cross isn’t just a vote for irresponsible government. It’s a drop in the bucket compared to what you’ll end up paying for Katrina in increased taxes.

Granted, in terms of popularity of likelihood of success, trying to make a case against giving money to charities compares to lobbying against puppies. The impulse to donate, after all, is rooted in our best human traits. As we watched New Orleanians die of thirst, disease and anarchic violence in the face of Bush Administration disinterest and local government incompetence, millions of us did the only thing we thought we could to do to help: cut a check or click a PayPal button.

Tragically, that generosity feeds into the mindset of the sinister ideologues who argue that government shouldn’t help people—the very mindset that caused the levee break that turned Katrina into a holocaust and led to official unresponsiveness. And it is already setting the stage for the next avoidable disaster.

It’s time to “starve the beast”: private charities used by the government to justify the abdication of its duties to its citizens. MTW

It says so right in the Maui County rules that the “Liquor control commission shall consist of nine members…” Who knows why—odd number to prevent ties, there are nine Supreme Court Justices, a cat’s got nine lives—but it says there have to be nine, so there are nine.

Except for the last six months, there haven’t been nine Liquor Commissioners— there have been just eight. The ninth, Lanai resident Edwin Vila, was appointed on March 31, 2005 to a five-year term but he hasn’t yet appeared at a hearing.

Appointed by Mayor Alan Arakawa at the last minute without a proper application— the County Council had rejected his earlier Lanai nominee—Vila was to make his first appearance at the April 13, 2005 commission hearing.

I looked all over the dais, but he wasn’t there.

Nor did he show up at the May 11 hearing.

In fact, just five commissioners, barely a quorum, bothered to shop up to that meeting. Guess they heard he wasn’t going to reveal himself, and stayed at home.

I was thrilled when I walked into the June 15 hearing, because Vila’s official nametag was perched on the dais in front of a chair.

This was the day I was finally going to meet the mysterious new member! But then a few minutes into the hearing Chairman Donald Fuji announced that Vila couldn’t arrange a flight over from Lanai, and was excused.

Vila also didn’t show at the next hearing, on July 13. Near the end, Fuji said Vila wasn’t there because there had been a death in his family.

I was beginning to think I was never going to see Vila. The public access TV station Akaku sent a broadcast crew to the Aug. 10 hearing, but Vila blew his big chance to get on television by not showing.

Ditto the Sept. 7 hearing. His nametag was there, but he wasn’t. This time, no one at the LC mentioned his name.

Guess they’ve forgotten all about him.

Censored!

Just four days before the 2004 presidential election, a prestigious British medical journal published the results of a rigorous study by Dr. Les Roberts, a widely respected researcher. Roberts concluded that close to 100,000 people had died in the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

Most were noncombatant civilians.

Many were children.

But that news didn’t make the front pages of the major newspapers. It wasn’t on the network news.

So most voters knew little or nothing about the brutal civilian impact of President George W. Bush’s war when they went to the polls.

That’s just one of the big stories the mainstream news media ignored, blacked out, or underreported over the past year, according to Project Censored, a media watchdog group based at California’s Sonoma State University.

Every year project researchers scour the media looking for news that never really made the news, publishing the results in a book, this year titled Censored 2006. Of course, as Project Censored staffers painstakingly explain every year, their “censored” stories aren’t literally censored, per se. Most can be found on the Internet, if you know where to look. And some have even received some ink in the mainstream press. “Censorship,” explains project director Peter Phillips, “is any interference with the free flow of information in society.”

The stories highlighted by Project Censored simply haven’t received the kind of attention they warrant, and therefore haven’t made it into the greater public consciousness.

And their overall findings provide valuable insights into the kinds of issues the mainstream media should be paying closer attention to.

Project Censored presents the 10 biggest stories the mainstream media ignored over the past year.

1. Bush administration moves to eliminate open government While the Bush administration has expanded its ability to keep tabs on civilians, it’s been working to make sure the public— and even Congress—can’t find out what the government is doing.

One year ago, Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.) released an 81-page analysis of how the administration has administered the country’s major open government laws. His report found that the feds consistently “narrowed the scope and application” of the Freedom of Information Act, the Presidential Records Act, and other key public information legislation, while expanding laws blocking access to certain records—even creating new categories of “protected” information and exempting entire departments from public scrutiny.

When those methods haven’t been enough, the Bush administration has simply refused to release records—even when the requester was a Congressional subcommittee or the Government Accountability Office, the study found. A few of the potentially incriminating documents Bush and Co. have refused to hand over to their colleagues on Capitol Hill include records of contacts between large energy companies and Vice President Dick Cheney’s energy task force; White House memos pertaining to Saddam Hussein’s, shall we say, “elusive” weapons of mass destruction; and reports describing torture at Abu Ghraib.

2. Media coverage fails on Iraq: Fallujah and the civilian death toll Decades from now, the civilized world may well look back on the assaults on Fallujah in April and November 2004 and point to them as examples of the United States’ and Britain’s utter disregard for the most basic wartime rules of engagement.

Not long after the “coalition” had embarked on its second offensive, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour called for an investigation into whether the Americans and their allies had engaged in “the deliberate targeting of civilians, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, the killing of injured persons, and the use of human shields,” among other possible “grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions ... considered war crimes” under federal law.

More than 83 percent of Fallujah’s 300,000 residents fled the city, Mary Trotochaud and Rick McDowell, staffers with the American Friends Service Committee, reported in AFSC’s Peacework magazine. Men between the ages of 15 and 45 were refused safe passage, and all who remained—about 50,000—were treated as enemy combatants, according to the article.

Numerous sources reported that coalition forces cut off water and electricity, seized the main hospital, shot at anyone who ventured out into the open, executed families waving white flags while trying to swim across the Euphrates or otherwise flee the city, shot at ambulances, raided homes and killed people who didn’t understand English, rolled over injured people with tanks, and allowed corpses to rot in the streets and be eaten by dogs.

Medical staff and others reported seeing people, dead and alive, with melted faces and limbs, injuries consistent with the use of phosphorous bombs.

But you wouldn’t know any of this unless you’d come across a rare report by one of an even rarer number of independent journalists—or known which obscure Web site to log onto for real information.

3. Another year of distorted election coverage Last year Project Censored foretold the potential for electoral wrongdoing in the 2004 presidential campaign: The “sale of electoral politics” made number six in the list of 2003-04’s most underreported stories. The mainstream media had largely ignored the evidence that electronic voting machines were susceptible to tampering, as well as political alliances between the machines’ manufacturers and the Republican Party.

Then came Nov. 2, 2004.

Bush prevailed by 3 million votes—despite exit polls that clearly projected Kerry winning by a margin of 5 million.

“Exit polls are highly accurate,” Steve Freeman, professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Organizational Dynamics, and Temple University statistician Josh Mitteldorf wrote in In These Times. “They remove most of the sources of potential polling error by identifying actual voters and asking them immediately afterward who they had voted for.”

Local Stories Being Overlooked

Cencored!: continued from page 11 The eight-million-vote discrepancy was well beyond the poll’s recognized, less-than-one-percent margin of error. And when Freeman and Mitteldorf analyzed the data collected by the two companies that conducted the polls, they found concrete evidence of potential fraud in the official count.

“Only in precincts that used old-fashioned, hand-counted paper ballots did the official count and the exit polls fall within the normal sampling margin of error,” they wrote. And “the discrepancy between the exit polls and the official count was considerably greater in the critical swing states.”

4. Surveillance society quietly moves in 1. The Superferry Irene Bowie, Managing Director, Pacific Whale Foundation “Pacific Whale Foundation is STRONGLY OPPOSED to the highspeed inter-island ferry system proposed by Hawai’i Superferry. Hawai’i Superferry’s plan is to have three 340 foot-long, four-story high-speed catamarans carrying 900 passengers, 280 vehicles and freight between Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island beginning in 2006. The ferries will travel at speeds up to 45 mph.

Whales and other marine mammals when struck will either be killed or severely injured. Our main concern is the issue of vessel speed and the likelihood of collisions between these large ferries and whales, dolphins and other marine life.”

2. The Haleakala telescope Dick Mayer, Vice President, Kula Community Association: “The community should be aware of the Advance Technology Solar Telescope being planned next to the highest point on Haleakala, the summit observation center. It’s 143 feet (the same as a 14-story building) and will be clearly visible from the central valley of Maui. It’s also being painted bright white, thus extraordinarily reflective and visible. People who are interested in finding out more about this telescope should contact Jeremy Wagner at jwagner@nso.edu, or locally, phone 572-1903.”

3. Landfill pollution Robert Riebling, President, Ma‘alaea Community Association: “The Special Use Permit allowing DeCoite Trucking to operate the Maui Demolition and Construction Landfill in the pit at what used to be Pu‘u Hele near Ma‘alaea expired in 2004.

COVER STORY

It’s a well-known dirty trick in the halls of government: If you want to pass unpopular legislation that you know won’t stand up to scrutiny, just wait until the public isn’t looking. That’s precisely what the Bush administration did Dec. 13, 2003, the day American troops captured Saddam Hussein.

Bush celebrated the occasion by privately signing into law the Intelligence Authorization Act—a controversial expansion of the PATRIOT Act that included items culled from the “Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003,” a draft proposal that had been shelved due to public outcry after being leaked.

Specifically, the IAA allows the government to obtain an individual’s financial records without a court order. The law also makes it illegal for institutions to inform anyone that the government has requested those records, or that information has been shared with the authorities.

“The law also broadens the definition of ‘financial institution’ to include insurance companies, travel and real-estate agencies, stockbrokers, the US Postal Service, jewelry stores, casinos, airlines, car dealerships, and any other business ‘whose cash transactions have a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax, or regulatory matters’ “ warned Nikki Swartz in the Information Management Journal. According to Swartz, the definition is now so broad that it could plausibly be used to access even school transcripts or medical records.

“In one fell swoop, this act has decimated our rights to privacy, due process, and freedom of speech,” Anna Samson Miranda wrote in an article for LiP magazine titled “Grave New World” that documented the ways in which the government already employs high-tech, private industry, and everyday citizens as part of a vast web of surveillance.

5. US uses tsunami to military advantage in Southeast Asia The American people reacted to the tsunami that hit the Indian Ocean last December with an outpouring of compassion and private donations. Across the nation, neighbors got together to collect food, clothing, medicine, and financial contributions.

Schoolchildren completed class projects to help the cause.

Unfortunately, the US government didn’t reflect the same level of altruism.

President Bush initially offered an embarrassingly low $15 million in aid. More important, Project Censored found that the US government exploited the catastrophe to its own strategic advantage.

Establishing a stronger military presence in the area could help the United States keep closer tabs on China—which, thanks to its burgeoning economic and military muscle, has emerged as one of this country’s greatest potential rivals.

It could also fortify an important military launching ground and help consolidate control over potentially lucrative trade routes. The United States currently operates a base out of Diego Garcia—a former British mandate in the Chagos Archipelago (about halfway between Africa and Indonesia), but the lease runs out in 2016.

“Consequently, in the name of relief, the US revived the Utapao military base in Thailand it had used during the Vietnam War [and] reactivated its military cooperation agreements with Thailand and the Visiting Forces Agreement with the Philippines,” veteran Indian journalist Rahul Bedi reported.

Last February the State Department mended broken ties with the notoriously vicious and corrupt Indonesian military— although human rights observers charged the military with withholding “food and other relief from civilians suspected of supporting the secessionist insurgency, the Free Aceh Movement,” Jim Lobe reported for the Inter Press Service.

6. The real oil-for-food scam Last year, right-wingers in Congress began kicking up a fuss about how the United Nations had allegedly allowed Saddam Hussein to rake in $10 billion in illegal cash through the Oil for Food program. Headlines screamed scandal. New York Times columnist William Safire referred to the alleged UN con game as “the richest rip-off in world history.”

The initial accusations were based on a General Accounting Office report released in April 2004 and were later bolstered by a more detailed report commissioned by the CIA. According to the GAO, Hussein smuggled $6 billion worth of oil out of Iraq—most of it through the Persian Gulf. Yet the UN fleet charged with intercepting any such smugglers was under direct command of American officers, and consisted overwhelmingly of US Navy ships.

Most of the oil that left Iraq by land did so through Jordan and Turkey—with the approval of the United States. The first Bush administration informally exempted Jordan from the ban on purchasing Iraqi oil—an arrangement that provided Hussein with $4.4 billion over 10 years, according to the CIA’s own findings. The United States later allowed Iraq to leak another $710 million worth of oil through Turkey.

Scott Ritter, a UN weapons inspector in Iraq during the first six years of economic sanctions against the country, unearthed yet another scam: The United States allegedly allowed an oil company run by Russian foreign minister Yevgeny Primakov’s sister to purchase cheap oil from Iraq and resell it to US companies at market value—purportedly earning Hussein “hundreds of millions” more.

“It has been estimated that 80 percent of the oil illegally smuggled out of Iraq under ‘oil for food’ ended up in the United States,” Ritter wrote in the UK Independent.

7. Journalists face unprecedented dangers to life and livelihood Last year was the deadliest year for reporters since the International Federation of Journalists began keeping tabs in 1984.

A total of 129 media workers lost their lives, and 49 of them—more than a third—were killed in Iraq.

In short, non-embedded journalists have now become familiar victims of US military actions abroad.

“As far as anyone has yet proved, no commanding officer ever ordered a subordinate to fire on journalists as such,” Weissman wrote in an update for Censored 2006. But what can be shown is a pattern of tacit complicity, side by side with a heavy-handed campaign to curb journalists’ right to roam freely.

The Pentagon has refused to implement basic safeguards to protect journalists who aren’t embedded with coalition forces, despite repeated requests by Reuters and media advocacy organizations.

The US military exonerated the army of any wrongdoing in its now-infamous attack on the Palestine Hotel—which, as the Pentagon knew, functioned as headquarters for about 100 media workers—when coalition forces rolled into Baghdad on April 8, 2003.

To date, US authorities have not disciplined a single officer or soldier involved in the killing of a journalist, according to Project Censored.

Meanwhile, the interim government the United States installed in Iraq raided and closed down Al-Jazeera’s Baghdad offices almost as soon as it took power and banned the network from doing any reporting in the country. In November the interim government ordered news organizations to “stick to the government line on the US-led offensive in Fallujah or face legal action,” in an official command sent out on interim prime minister Eyad Allawi’s letterhead and quoted in a November report by independent reporter Dahr Jamail.

And both American and interim government forces detained numerous journalists in and around Fallujah that month, holding them for days.

Historians believe it was in the “fertile crescent” of Mesopotamia, where Iraq now lies, that humans first learned to farm. “It is here, in around 8500 or 8000 B.C., that mankind first domesticated wheat, here that agriculture was born,” Jeremy Smith wrote in the Ecologist. This entire time, “Iraqi farmers have been naturally selecting wheat varieties that work best with their climate ... and cross-pollinated them with others with different strengths.

“The US, however, has decided that, despite 10,000 years practice, Iraqis don’t know what wheat works best in their own conditions.”

Smith was referring to Order 81, one of 100 directives penned by L. Paul Bremer III, the US administrator in Iraq, and left as a legacy by the American government when it transferred operations to interim Iraqi authorities.

The regulation sets criteria for the patenting of seeds that can only be met by multinational companies like Monsanto or Syngenta, and it grants the patent holder exclusive rights over every aspect of all plant products yielded by those seeds.

Because of naturally occurring cross-pollination, the new scheme effectively launches a process whereby Iraqi farmers will soon have to purchase their seeds rather than using seeds saved from their own crops or bought at the local market.

Native varieties will be replaced by foreign—and genetically engineered—seeds, and Iraqi agriculture will become more vulnerable to disease as biological diversity is lost.

Texas A&M University, which brags that its agriculture program is a “world leader” in the use of biotechnology, has already embarked on a $107 million project to “reeducate” Iraqi farmers to grow industrial-sized harvests, for export, using American seeds.

And anyone who’s ever paid attention to how this has worked elsewhere in the global South knows what comes next: Farmers will lose their lands, and the country will lose its ability to feed itself, engendering poverty and dependency.

9. Iran’s new oil trade system challenges US currency The Bush administration has been paying a lot more attention to Iran recently. Part of that interest is clearly Iran’s nuclear program—but there may be more to the story. One bit of news that hasn’t received the public vetting it merits is Iran’s declared intent to open an international oil exchange market, or “bourse.”

Not only would the new entity compete against the New York Mercantile Exchange and London’s International Petroleum Exchange (both owned by American corporations), but it would also ignite international oil trading in euros.

“A shift away from US dollars to euros in the oil market would cause the demand for petrodollars to drop, perhaps causing the value of the dollar to plummet,” Brian Miller and Celeste Vogler of Project Censored wrote in Censored 2006.

“Russia, Venezuela, and some members of OPEC have expressed interest in moving towards a petroeuro system,” he said.

And it isn’t entirely implausible that China, which is “the world’s second largest holder of US currency reserves,” might eventually follow suit.

Although China, as a major exporter of goods to the United States, has a vested interest in helping shore up the American economy and has even linked its own currency, the yuan, to the dollar, it has also become increasingly dependent on Iranian oil and gas.

“Barring a US attack, it appears imminent that Iran’s euro-dominated oil bourse will open in March, 2006,” Miller and Vogler continued. “Logically, the most appropriate US strategy is compromise with the EU and OPEC towards a dual-currency system for international oil trades.”

But you won’t hear any discussion of that alternative on the six o’clock news.

10. Mountaintop removal threatens ecosystem & economy On Aug. 15 environmental activists created a human blockade by locking themselves to drilling equipment, obstructing the National Coal Corp.’s access to a strip mine in the Appalachian mountains 40 miles north of Knoxville. It was just the latest in a protracted campaign that environmentalists say has national implications but that’s been ignored by the media outside the immediate area.

Under contention is a technique wherein entire mountaintops are removed using explosives to access the coal underneath— a practice that is nothing short of devastating for the local ecosystem, but which could become much more widespread.

As it stands, 93 new coal plants are in the works nationwide, according to Project Censored’s findings. “Areas incredibly rich in biodiversity are being turned into the biological equivalent of parking lots,” wrote John Conner of the Kat˙ah branch of Earth First!—which has been throwing all its energies into direct action campaigns to block the project—in Censored 2006. “It is the final solution for 200-million-year-old mountains.” MTW

Michelle Anderson, Maui County Councilmember “The market-driven accelerated growth rate of Maui is the white elephant in the room. In 2005, we have already reached the population our community plans anticipated for 2010, not counting all the part-time residents. Consequently, we have alarming deficits in our public infrastructure needs. Our schools, roads, parks, police and water are all overburdened and our violent crime rate has increased. Many working families cannot find decent housing that is affordable for their income. A temporary halt to all subdivisions, except affordable housing subdivisions, would give Maui a chance to address the really pressing needs of our community.”

5. The Akaku story Lance Collins, Akaku Board’s attorney “The long standing dispute over the fate of cable access television on Maui has historically been undercovered by the mainstream media.

Maui’s cable access has been unique in the state because Clyde Sakamoto has historically gotten more than MCC’s fair share of resources for cable access. Maui is the only place in Hawai’i where the University of Hawai’i system gets so much resources to the exclusion of all other educational providers. This year, the Akaku board has been willing to submit to Sakamoto’s demands if he provided an accounting of where the money would be spent. He has refused this thus far.” MTW

I love the perfect crunchy pickle that lives on the plate next to the sandwich.

Are you with me? My positive lunch experience at Mango Grill & Bar was sealed when my dining companion gave me her pickle and I relished two instead of one.

But back to the beginning. If you’re looking for a charming yet mellow place for lunch, swing by Mango Grill & Bar at the head of Ka’anapali Parkway. Seeing that Mango Grill is named after the most luscious fruit on earth, I assumed it would be wonderful, ipso facto. This goes along with my childish belief that anything named

2290 Ka’anapali Pkwy., 667-1929. Open 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. $$ K after one of my passions better represent! I was not disappointed.

It was a bit of a mission to get in, as the main entrance is under construction and you have to navigate your way around the back and up the stairs to the open-aired lanai. The upside of this? A 20 percent discount on over half the menu. I’ll take that any day.

The atmosphere inside is great, with the bar as the nucleus of the restaurant, numerous TVs scattered around and tables arranged along the rail overlooking the 1st and 18th holes of Ka’anapali South golf course. It almost feels like an upscale tree house, not totally inside, but not totally outside. Yet you’re on the precipice of all the golf action milling below, with a great view of the manicured courses, lakes and fountains, and Ka’anapali’s signature posh hotels.

There are comfy wicker-cushioned chairs and barstools, glass furniture, lau hala

tablemats and a blend of sports bar and Hawaiian decor. Fans keep the island breeze circulating and create a nice fresh habitat.

Sunburnt golfers relax by the bar in their loud, tropical, collared togs and relive their moments of glory. They throw back hardearned suds after the rigors of riding up hills in a cart, directing their caddies around and a morning’s worth of exhaustive drives and puts.

The lunch menu included a dozen appetizers, a bunch of diverse salads, fish/beef/chicken/veggie sandwiches and grilled meat plate lunches. Everything fell reasonably between $5 and $13 before kama’aina rates.

By our waiter’s third visit I had settled on the grilled mahi mahi sandwich, which was a filet of mahi dipped in egg wash, cooked golden brown and served on a soft bun. It came on a big sunny-yellow plate with a salsa salad of mango, pineapple, tomato and onion (or fries), and the aforementioned delightful pickle.

The sandwich was delectable, the delicate flaky white fish going down very smoothly. As we chowed our matching sandwiches, we discussed how judicious it would be to abscond with a golf cart and cruise around Ka’anapali.

Deciding against it, we polished off our lunch and I marveled at how I am becoming a seafood lover one fish sandwich at a time.

We lamented that we were too stuffed for the mango cobbler on the dessert menu, which had my taste buds tingling with excitement. That, plus an impressive breakfast menu of omelets, pancakes, French toast and pastries gives me cause to make a return visit to Mango.

The dinner menu is strewn with every local fish imaginable—mahi mahi, ono, swordfish, ahi, opakapaka, opah, onaga, uku—plus lobster, shrimp, scallops, crab legs, steak, chicken, pork, turkey, ribs, vegetables. Did I miss anything? Oh, and everything comes with homemade mango bread. Now that’s a thorough theme. MTW

Traci Edwardsen Server, Cheeseburgers, MaiTais, & Rock ‘N Roll in Wailea We do play a lot of old and new rock, but that’s not really the theme of the restaurant. I guess the theme would just be “fun”—to have lots of fun. All the employees are really outgoing and free-speaking. That’s sort of a job requirement. You have to be friendly and able to have conversations with the guests. People are coming from all over the country and want to know if you’re from Hawai’i, how long you’ve lived in Hawai’i, what made you move, and where did you originally live.

I meet a lot of people from my hometown, Chicago, and that usually launches us into a whole other conversation. I like it, though. It makes the customers happy and they enjoy their experience more when you are personable with them.

I’d been in the service industry for seven years before I moved to Hawai’i so it just made sense that I would be a waitress here. A friend of mine from Chicago was working at the restaurant and said how great it was so that’s where I decided to work. Now I’ve been in Hawai’i and at Cheeseburgers, MaiTais, and Rock ‘N Roll for about one year.

The restaurant is part of a chain and has several restaurants around Hawai’i, including one in Lahaina. They just finished building in Florida but the opening of that restaurant was delayed due to Hurricane Katrina. The company’s put a lot of effort into the relief, going to New Orleans and areas now populated with hurricane refugees and handing out cheeseburgers and other helpful things. MTW

Car Cinema Friday, 6 p.m. at Maui Community College [FILM] Remember when you went to the drive-in movies to “neck?” Hey, I’m not going to lie to you, I don’t either. But it seems like it was such a fun time. Your boyfriend would pick you up in one of those old cars that are oh-so-spacious and you’d steam up the windows through the whole flick; nobody even cared what was playing on the screen. And now, where do we have to go? These days, it’s illegal to “park.” Not to mention, officers know to look for that kind of behavior, and how embarrassing would it be to get caught in a PG-13 act of affection—and have to pay a fine or, even worse, get arrested.

Yikes. I wish we could go back to simpler times. But wait!

MauiFest Hawai’i and MCC are bringing it back, sort of—you know, the novelty of watching films outside and/or from your car. There’s going to be four films playing at the drive-in this weekend, including Madagascar, a new animated movie about zoo animals that make it to the wild; Blue Horizon, a surf movie starring Andy Irons and Dave “Rasta” Rastovich; Kamea, an award-winning movie starring mostly local youths on Oahu; and Ipo Lei Manu, an animated short. They’re playing one after the other, but that’s totally enough time to fog up the backseat. No, I’m kidding! This is a family outing! Anyway, it all starts at 6 p.m. and the first 100 cars in line only have to pay $10 (for the rest it’s $20) for up to 4 adults. Tickets available at Maui Tacos, MCC, Sam’s Sushi, Kahului Ale House and at the gate. For more info, call 984-3500 or 573-5530. [HEIDI KING]

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

by Samantha Campos

LifeFest Friday-Sunday, at the Kapalua Resort

Lahaina Grown

[HEALTH] Looking for a chance to love yourself? If you want to treat yourself to something truly healthy, come to the 2nd Annual LifeFest Kapalua. The event is an embodiment of health and wellness, with a series of programs to inspire you to live a more wholesome lifestyle.

Whether you’re already health-conscious or you need a little motivation, there should be something there encouraging that speaks right to you. A bunch of acclaimed speakers cover a spectrum of topics enumerating nutritional diets, physical routines, menopause information, skin care, meditation, sports and more. All of this is interspersed with indigenous Hawaiian traditions and ceremonies, interactive things like a nature hike at Maui Pineapple Company’s Pu’u Kukui Watershed, tennis and swimming. Reading the indefatigable schedule of workshops, expos and lectures, it sounds healthy enough to make you sick! But the educational content is balanced out with plenty of time to play, give makeovers, and hear ideas about entertaining at home. Can you think of anything this indulgent yet guilt-free at the same time? If you’ve never tried anything “purifying� and are spooked by concepts like “spiritual healing,� then this is your chance to see how good it can really make you feel. I used to think all these details were just for mystics, but now I really see the internal-external connection and how much more you get out of life with positive energy. For info, call 1-866-669-2440. [MOLLY RETTIG]

Saturday, 10 p.m. at Paradice Bluz [MUSIC] Most Maui residents have already heard one of the island’s best bands, Lahaina Grown, at bars, on the radio and probably for some, in backyards and at barbeques. They’ve been playing together for the last 10 years, since the four original members formed the band in 1994. Sharing an interest in music while attending Lahainaluna High School, Kapali, Albert, Deason and Jayson began playing, calling themselves Nahe Nahe. Since then the name and the music has changed and the band has gotten more and more recognition. In 2002, Lahaina Grown won second place in Oahu’s Battle of the Bands, opening new doors to success. They’ll be releasing their self-titled, self-produced debut album this weekend, with already crowd-popular songs like “Lahaina Grown,� “Lady Honokohau� and “He Iwi.� Their skills and dedication have generated a large fan base on several islands and will continue to grow with the release of this album. Lahaina Grown’s music comes from the heart and gives listeners a relaxed feeling “with a message to all,� they say—“Let the music touch your soul.� [Gabrielle Poccia]]

DAY

[FUNDRAISER] This famous annual party is Maui Academy of Performing Arts’ (MAPA) major fundraiser for the year and is a benefit for education and the performing arts on the island. With the goal of helping to raise responsible human beings, MAPA’s mission statement is “Enriching individuals, building community and connecting our world through the performing arts,” and this is evident at the Garden Party as they once again bring the community together while sharing the arts. There’s A Chef’s Festival, a beer and wine tasting, silent auction, live jazz by Moondance, and “Fresh Art”—that’s where 12 of Maui’s top artists paint pictures right before your eyes. Then these works of art, along with other fabulous items, are all auctioned off later at the live auction. Of course if you’d like to get more personal, Tonia Baney can immortalize you in a portrait, which you can schedule ahead of time by calling the MAPA office. This event is nearly 100% donated by the community and is definitely 100% tax deductible to you. That means all the great food, drink, music and entertainment are basically free—if you do your taxes. The Yokouchi Family Estate is next to the Bailey Museum in Wailuku (enter off High Street). Tickets: $50 in advance or $60 at the event. For info, call 2448760. [REBECCA NORTHCUTT]

SEPTEMBER 22, 2005

FILM

Proof, based on David Auburn’s wildly popular stage play, is a sensitive take on the same mathematical milieu and emotional terrain that Ron Howard traversed in the Academy Award-winning picture A Beautiful Mind.

HHHHH Proof

Rated PG-13/100 min.

Gwyneth Paltrow gives a highly polished performance as Catherine, the loyal daughter to her mentally ill mathematician father Robert (Anthony Hopkins) whose death throws her into a spiral of depression. Catherine grapples with doubts about her own sanity as her narrow-minded sister Claire (Hope Davis) makes claims on their father’s house while posturing as Catherine’s caretaker.

Jake Gyllenhaal walks a perfectly ambiguous line as math nerd Hal, a former student of Catherine’s father, intent on seducing his way into examining hundreds of scribbled notebooks left behind by the groundbreaking mathematician. Director John Madden skillfully liberates the Pulitzer Prize-winning material from its stage bound confines toward a terse emotional drama that only suffers due to the miscasting of a wilting Anthony Hopkins.

Proof is a winning drama that oscillates

with confidence and emotional tension.

Having directed Paltrow in her Oscar-winning performance in Shakespeare In Love, and in the London stage production of Proof, John Madden keeps a subjective camera on Catherine to amplify the sarcastic wit and intellectual charm that she uses to shield herself from the world around her. With her casual romantic irreverence and moments of inspired clarity, the 27-year-old Catherine is a beguiling and complex creature bordering on the enigmatic. Catherine’s astute verbal gymnastics that she displays to humorous effect in conversations with Claire and Hal hint at her mathematician’s mind that gradually becomes the film’s narrative touchstone.

Through seamless flashback discussions with her father we realize that Catherine’s sustained fear of his genetic predominance of mental illness is a well-founded concern. The degree of Robert’s inadvertent influence becomes the sticking point for the story when Catherine reveals that she has authored a mathematical “proof” that is every bit as innovative as her father’s best work.

It’s unfortunate that Anthony Hopkins occupies a role better suited to an unknown stage actor who would have brought an unexpected vigor and variety to the film. As it is, Hopkins’ British countenance sits at jarring odds to Paltrow’s distinctly American demeanor.

Hopkins resists creating a character, choosing instead to rely on his bag of well-worn vocal inflections to indicate a nagging confu-

sion about the world around him and his character’s mental limitations. His scenes support the story but never rise to any remarkable degree of emotional impact beyond what we recognize through Catherine’s reckoning with a man she admires and fears.

The film’s once confusing, and ultimately satisfying, title gathers meaning as the story unfolds. Catherine is searching for any kind of evidence that she’s not doomed to suffer from the same mental illness that overtook her father, but she’s also inextricably driven to completing the same kind of attention-grabbing math proofs that he finished. And yet it’s only by imaginatively tapping into her memory of him that she accomplishes the proof that no one near her believes she could have authored. Catherine herself struggles so much with the question of whether she or her father wrote the earth shattering proof that she retreats for several days to rewrite the complex formula from scratch.

A heartbreaking moment comes when Hal and Claire show their lack of belief in Catherine’s ability to have written such an ingenious math proof, and we witness the immediate disconnect between the romantically driven Hal and his more opportunistic side that rankles our hopes for their relationship. More significantly however, the moment proves Catherine’s initial interpretation of Hal’s ulterior motives as correct. The movie shows us in a very literal way just how elusive finding proof of intention can be. MTW

This gem of a dramedy is what ensues when a son of the South brings his sophisticated new art dealer wife to meet his eccentric, yet wonderful, family.

Astonishingly, after pleading with the staff for help, she is confronted with the fact that there is no record of her daughter ever being on the flight. At this Kyle must wonder if she has lost her mind or if there’s some sort of—duhn dah!—conspiracy against her. As she deals with the possible chance of her child being a figment of her imagination, she pushes ahead searching for her daughter in the skeleton of the airplane. 120 min.

This roller boogie-ing place has the works: beautiful girls and over-thetop skaters. So X and his homies prepare for the Roller Jam skate-off with none other than the Sweetwater Crew. And with all of this going on, X finds the time to help his dad (Chi McBride) get his act together. 112 min. (Kimberly L. Welch) TIM BURTON’S CORSPE BRIDE - (PG) Animation - Yay! Yay!

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 can’t be too scary because it’s only rated PG13. But, I’m sure there will be scenes for us ladies to salivate over and witty lines to keep the public entertained. There—was that upbeat enough? 118 min. (HK) CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (PG) - Family, Musical, Fantasy - This Tim Burton adaptation of Roald Dahl’s rather dark and brutal children’s book stars Johnny Depp as famed chocolate magnate Willy Wonka. Yes, I know Depp and Burton do great work. And that Helena Bonham Carter also appears. But come on! Must Hollywood remake every film? Gene Wilder played the definitive Willy Wonka back in 1971!

(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 from his colleagues, members of the British High Commission, to find the truth behind Tessa’s murder. The clues he finds bring him across three different continents and the mystery that unfolds suggests more than simply a crime of passion.

On his search he learns of who his wife really was, who he himself has been, and of a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deeper than he ever imagined. 129 min.

So Deuce, being the guy that he is, goes there to work (ha!) in order to clear his good friend’s name.

The Flaming Lips’ new documentary Fearless Freaks comes amidst a slew of product from the band, including a video collection and a new CD on its way. However, Fearless Freaks is, by far, the pick of the litter.

The movie starts out innocent enough, with early home movies of lead singer Wayne Coyne, fooling around with friends and family. But, like a tab of acid secretly dropped in your morning coffee, things get weird quick. The pimpled, greasy skin of white trash reality (read: drug taking, petty larceny, and jail) is slowly peeled back throughout the movie, to reveal a twitching, screaming skull.

The “Fearless Freaks” refer to Coyne and company’s family football team. Little did they know, this would set the framework for the future of the Flaming Lips: Rough play and drugs, the power of hype and the sacrifice of blood and brain cells. All of these things provided the necessary skills and attributes for the formation of a good punk band. That, and a charismatic lead singer.

Coyne’s family and most of his future bandmates’ families struggle and often fall into the familiar traps of a lifetime of poverty. Wayne had an out. Combining a feverish, seething brain overflowing with insane ideas, and an astonishing magnetism, the singer starts attracting other band members. His personality and lyrical style are a combination of Salvador Dali, Edward Gorey and old, Southern charm. He’s the Andy Griffith of psychedelic punk.

Live footage shows the band as a low-rent Butthole Surfers. Slowly but surely, Coyne attracts some incredible talent—future Mercury Rev front man Jonathan Donahue, and multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire Steven Drozd.

These bandmates, and others, helped flesh out Wayne’s acid-etched visions and helped propel the Lips to popularity. Still, the farther out the band got, and the more successful they were, the more their past came back to haunt them.

This film contains one of the most harrowing, in-yourface look at a “functional” heroin user I have ever seen.

Steven Drozd started out as the drummer, but his talent and mastery of all instruments pushed him to the front of the band. It also led him to a raging heroin addiction.

And there’s very graphic footage here: Drozd discussing his family’s drug history while setting himself up for a shot is juxtapozed with footage of him going through withdrawals, while recording some of the most sublimely beautiful music of the Flaming Lips career.

Apparently, one of his other skills is the ability to expertly play music while going cold turkey.

I won’t spoil the end for you. Ten years of the Lips’ lives were filmed by their close friend and music video director Bradley Beesely. The access is powerfully intimate. Like the music, their stories range from gruesome to inspiring.

Also like their music, the documentary Fearless Freaks shows the band evolving from harsh, obnoxious punks to grand, experimenting visionaries. If a few brain cells and a little blood are lost in the process, so be it.

Poncho Sanchez Saturday, Sept. 24, 7:30 p.m. at the Castle Theater, MACC. Tickets: $10, $22, $35. Call 242-SHOW.

Poncho Sanchez Not talking with the man still brings insight into the appeal of Latin music Poncho Sanchez is one of the most wellknown conga players (conguero) of Latin music, a Grammy winner, and all around phenomenal band leader. He grew up in a Mexican-American family in Texas and pursued a career as a percussionist after having been inspired by the legendary Cuban conguero, Mongo Santamaria.

The foundation of Sanchez’ music is the Afro-Cuban rhythm brought to the U.S. by Santamaria. Sanchez has taken this music a step further by combining soul, funk and R&B; and since the 1960s has been creating complex Latin Jazz, Salsa, and Boogaloo. His latest album, Do It, continues this hot tropical fusion and features guest appearances by some tremendous funk and jazz musicians.

Unfortunately, though, his people never called me back so we were unable to get an interview with the man himself. Therefore, I can only imagine how Sanchez might have answered my questions. In addition,

one of Maui’s very own excellent conga players, Elan Rae, offers us some insight into the heart and soul of the conguero and the attraction to this instrument.

MTW: How would you describe the feeling of Salsa that makes people feel wonderful, even if they don’t know the dance or understand the lyrics?

How Poncho Sanchez might have answered: Bueno, Latin music is very joyful and high energy and creates an upbeat feeling in the club that just makes you want to move. It is hard to put a word to the feeling. It’s just like when you’re out on the dance floor and the music enters into your chest and, of course, your hips start to gyrate and you feel a sense of high arousal as you get caught up in the moment.

And then, as you’re dancing with your friend, you feel totally supported by what is happening around you and you can let go and completely surrender to the moment, the rhythm.

How do you explain the current popularity of Latin music in the USA? How Poncho Sanchez might have answered: As the Latino population grows in the U.S., there is obviously more demand for Latin music. At the same time, American people are being exposed to Latin culture more and more and can feel the energy, the joy and the passion behind it. You don’t have to speak Spanish to fully enjoy Salsa. At my shows, I always see people just grooving; it isn’t important to know the exact dance steps. The important part is to just feel the music and not think so much.

Will you please request that they provide a dancing area at the show?

How Poncho Sanchez might have answered: You mean you can’t dance there? Everyone should dance and get into it. I’ll certainly ask

them to provide a space for dancing—that’s what makes the show so memorable and exciting.

What do the congas bring to a band’s sound?

Elan Rae: They make the booty shake! They round out the bottom end, giving music that spicy edge.

What do you feel when you’re jamming out on your congas?

Elan Rae: For me personally, the music just flows out. As a supporting musician, instead of a lead instrument you feel the pulse of the music much more. You look for the pockets and try to feel for your space and how you can then make the booty shake. It’s the connection to the mother of music–the primal connection. It’s the foundation. There’s nothing more fun than making music that makes people dance. MTW

TAKE 5 Cold Remedies Mama Never Told You About

Preregistration required. For info,call 249-8811.

HOT TODDY

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24

Sure, chicken soup is one liquid remedy for the common cold that everyone knows about—and yeah, it works. But hey, let’s not forget the merits of alcohol in any situation! The Hot Toddy is an old school cold symptom cure—and a remedy my grandparents swore by; the Toddy will warm you up, soothe your throat, and lift your little downtrodden sickie-sick spirits. Toddy cocktails vary, but my favorite recipe involves a big mug and a shot of good bourbon—I prefer Makers Mark or Knob Creek—with a heaping tablespoon of honey, a wedge of lemon, some fresh ginger, a stick of cinnamon, hot water and a pat of butter on top. It’s mmm, mmm, good!

St John’s Kula Festival - 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at St. John’s Church, across from Keokea Park. This year’s festival includes a rummage sale, live and silent auction, baked goods, produce, plants and flowers.

OLD MOVIES Nothing eases the body, mind and soul like watching old black and white flicks in the quiet comfort of your abode. No crazy special effects or blaring colors to excite you, no annoying over-hyped actors and actresses you’re already inundated with on every magazine cover and TV channel—just good old-fashioned storyline, elegant costumery, simple backdrops and characters, all in comforting shades of gray. So camp out on your couch, curl up with your blankie and let your eyes feast on some classics, like Citizen Kane, King Kong, or my fave—All About Eve.

TRANQUILIZERS The last time I had a cold, I made myself a guinea pig for all the latest on-the-shelf medications. Except “on-the-shelf” now means that you have to pass the screening of the pharmacists before they can dole out your Tylenol Cold or Advil Sinus meds.

The reason: Pseudoephedrine—main ingredient for crack kitchens everywhere.

Which is probably why I never got any damn sleep whenever I took any of these socalled “medicines.” And really, when you’re sick, the most important thing you need is rest. My solution? Painkillers. They’ll knock your ass right out, god bless ‘em.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 Garden Party - 1-5 p.m. at Yokouchi Family Estate, Wailuku.

SEX Look, I know for the majority of you, sex is the last thing on your mind when you’re in a cold sweat, coughing up gobs of goo with your nose red and crusty from blowing. But, my friends, the orgasm is a certified sinus-clearer and headache-reliever. Oh yes, it’s true. I’m sure you don’t want to infect your loved one but isn’t that what they’re there for—to ease the pain of an otherwise loveless existence? Yeah, that and to pass the Kleenex.

SEA WATER & SUNSHINE When you’re just starting to feel better after a couple days of illness hell, nothing facilitates recovery quicker than some time spent outside in the sun.

Better yet, if you can get one of your friends to take pity on you, elicit their help in propping you up in a chair at the beach, maybe with a blanket and some shades—at the very least, you can pretend you’re that dead guy in Weekend at Bernie’s. And that guy got all the chicks.

SIGNLANGUAGE

BY CAERIEL CRESTIN

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) The word Libra is Latin for “balance.” But unless you know that, it’s not the first thing that springs to mind when you hear the word. For instance, some people think of a certain cocktail. Personally, I recall the French word for “free,” which is spelled differently but pronounced similarly. Ironically, you’re hardly the most free folk in the zodiac; that whole balance thing means safety and responsibility often take precedence over absolute freedom.

Nevertheless, my alternative interpretation is appropriate because of what you can do for others this week: free them. Someone’s counting on you to help them escape an insidious trap only you can properly see. Please don’t let them down.

Maui’s Only Locally Owned Newspaper is GROWING...

Join Our TEAM!

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) You’ve got a metaphorical hard-on that just won’t quit. You can’t go to the doctor for this spiritual Viagra overdose, though. What to do about it? Your eagerness (and ability) to perform is obvious to everyone nearby, so subtlety is sort of out of the question. Raising your hand to volunteer would be redundant (and just imagine the humiliation if you weren’t chosen). Here’s what you do: Step up to the plate before anyone else has a chance to. Announce that you’ll be doing the job at hand unless someone else thinks they can do it better. No one’ll take on that light saber duel, so your embarrassment is (mostly) averted and you’re on to the task you’re so obviously cut out to do.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) If you’re flush with ideas, a blank canvas feels like a promise. When you’re less than inspired, though, it’s more like a prison sentence. The universe isn’t exerting much pressure on you at the moment; you’re sort of faced with your life as a blank page. What will you do with all that creative freedom? Whether the prospect fills you with dread or excitement, I can only guess. However, I hope you don’t waste this time paralyzed by indecision fueled by the absence or superfluity of ideas. Your respite from just reacting to what happens won’t last long, so quit stalling. Get out there and experiment, now.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) In the UK, they weigh each other using the unit “stone,” which automatically makes everything sound terribly heavy to Americans. It reminds me of all the kinds of semantic angles you’re propagating right now. They’re completely accurate, but they present the facts in such a way that people get entirely the wrong impression. So you’re putting a spin on something. Big deal. That’s what you do. What I don’t get is: why are you spinning things to make yourself look so crappy? Is it your old habits of self-sabotage kicking in? Whatever the reason, cut that shit out, stat.

CEnthusiastic ool Restaurant Highest Standards

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Why are you sometimes so lame about keeping in touch with distant friends? I can’t believe someone with a brain as big as yours could be subject to the old “out of sight, out of mind” cliché. So what’s up? Do you really think they’ve moved on, just because they’ve moved away? Or are you just lazy? I’m pretty sure it’s the latter, and while I don’t want to shame you—we’ve all been lame about this stuff at times—I do want to give you a good kick in the ass. Don’t put it off longer; this is a good week to efficiently and richly communicate with all those buddies you no longer get to see.

Passion for Freshness

Even you would think my apartment is messy right now. I’ve been doing a bit of traveling and a lot of procrastinating and so the mess and disorganization has really built up. What I lack that you don’t, however, is an ability to be at ease amongst chaos. It actively bugs me, but you’ve managed to function amid bedlam and disarray your whole life. While you can appreciate cleanliness and serenity, you don’t absolutely require them. There may come a time this week when all around you are effectively incapacitated by too many unknown variables.

Recognize it for what it is: your turn to roll up your sleeves, wade into the disorder, and shine.

Lahaina Store Grille & Oyster Bar,

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Front Street’s newest eatery, is centrally located in the historical 1916 Lahaina Store building across from the board walk. The two floor restaurant is offering Maui’s only rooftop dining and a 47-foot raw oyster bar, this 10,300 square foot restaurant is also featuring an exhibition kitchen complete with four chef’s tables and a total of 350 seats.

If this exciting restaurant fits your bill then apply for the following positions:

• line cooks • baker

• dish washer • host help • bartenders • wait staff

While one of those you love can’t exactly put his stamp of approval on what you’re up to, he also can’t stop you.

Screw him, right? His opinion doesn’t really matter does it? Does it? All these other folk are egging you on, but you can’t shake the idea that he might have a point. It’s not necessarily a happy or popular point, but it may still be valid.

It’s a sign of maturity when you learn to listen to smart people say things you don’t like. Will your desires stand up to that kind of scrutiny and questioning, or crumble like the immature whims they’re accused of being?

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Something I love about you is your secret pursuit of quirky private goals. For instance, your recent attempt to make the lightest, flakiest scones around, or to read the dictionary, cover-to-cover, in your spare time, or to drive home using the brakes as little as safely possible. These whimsical objectives are adorable; why hide them?

Keeping hush-hush about them is starting to look a bit shady to those not in the know. Why allow suspicion to fester around something so essentially harmless and cute? Come clean about your idiosyncrasies. Ironically, that’ll lead to you having more time and space to pursue them.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Your credibility’s shaky right now. I know that’s not fair, because a couple of your recent flakeouts were truly unavoidable and had nothing to do with you. But still—you’ve bagged on more things than you’ve come through on during the past couple weeks. Therefore you have to be really careful right now to try to improve your batting average: Absolutely don’t say things you don’t mean, or make even casual, offhand promises you can’t keep. It’s not fair for anyone to write you off on the basis of life’s recent out-of-control events. But they don’t really know you, and suspect you might be a big flake. You’ve got one chance left to prove them wrong. Don’t blow it.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) You’re trying to squeeze yourself into a space that’s just too small. Okay, maybe it would be big enough if you were more fluid and could assume any shape, which is how you got the idea that you might be able to fit. But please, give it up; it’s not going to happen. No matter how much weight you lose or how many limbs you bend backwards in an attempt to conform to the shape of the space provided, in the end you’ll never be able to squash your whole self inside. Spare yourself the discomfort and possible injury by giving up now. Either the box you’re supposed to cram yourself into has got to expand and change, or you’ve got to walk away.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) It may seem as if you’re being opposed—that someone is actively working to thwart you in one of your most important goals. But please look closer. It’s true his or her methods are not yours. They do look, on the surface, as if they’re intended to mess you up. Maybe, in some cases, that is the intention. But the effect is the same— what’s going on will actually help you out. Either your opponents are so clumsy in their attempts to foil you that they’ll make things easier for you, or they’re secretly on your side and just working in a phenomenally different manner. Stop fighting them. Let them do their thing, since it is, ultimately, your thing.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Virgos either think too much or do too much. Usually, you come to the conclusion early on in life that doing is less dangerous and more useful than thinking, so you tend to focus primarily on that, keeping yourself more busy than any two non-Virgos you know. And thinking has certainly become no less dangerous now than it’s ever been.

But it might nevertheless be useful. I’m not talking about the kind of detailed over-analysis you’ve engaged in before. However, an objective hour-long logical strip-down of the situation could get you further than whole days of mad sprinting ever could.

HOLOHOLOGIRL

Movie extras, Actors, Models!

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS Make $100-$300/day. No Exp. Req.,

Meeting Mr. X Somehow our devils are never quite what we expect when we meet them face to face.

– Nelson DeMille We first noticed him leaning against the wall outside. It was warm that evening—upper 70s, I think. He was wearing baggy jeans and a hooded sweatshirt, sleeves rolled up to reveal arms covered in tats. He had pale skin, and large dark eyes enshrouded under heavy brows and a black knit cap.

Standing alone, he looked uncomfortable, restless maybe, sad and vulnerable somehow, and new. We had never seen him before. And to me, he looked odd—like a fish out of water.

Intrigued and giggling, my friend and I immediately dubbed him “fresh meat” and set to sneaking furtive, coy, what we thought were seductive glances in his direction. He never seemed to notice. His gaze barely scanned the crowd—he appeared to be deep in thought, brooding.

As my friend drank more, her interest in him grew, and I backed off from further spying.

Finally, emboldened, she decided she would introduce herself to him. And I supported her.

“Do you have a cigarette?”

But apparently, we were too giddy to see him walk up to our group. Standing in front of me, he was much taller than I thought. And much less vulnerable; his question barked out like an accusation. He practically glowered down at me.

“Uh, no, I don’t smoke,” I said, and pointed to my friend. “But she does.”

I quickly walked away from the group, to avoid having to talk to him and cause dissension among the group for interfering with my friend’s efforts. Much to my horror, he came and found me anyway.

“What’s your name?” he asked, demanding and gruff, in his baritone urban drawl, with some sort of accent that was hard to place. He didn’t smile. He looked like he never smiled.

I mumbled a reply, my eyes averting his and nervously darting back to my friends. But he was persistent.

“What do you do?” he asked again, this time a little softer, sincere, curious. I finally looked him in the eye and answered.

“I write,” I said.

“I can write,” he said back. And then miraculously, he smiled. It was disarming. “Can I send you something?”

I got that all the time—people who say they write, but never actually follow through with submitting anything. So I said, Sure, go ahead, handed him my business card and pretty much wrote him off.

The next day, he sent his story. It was a discourse on the imprisonment of an American Muslim, a didactic tirade in which he also bashed leftist politics. It was smart—a bit wordy perhaps, apocalyptic and definitely cocky. I was surprised by its conservatism but it was extremely well written.

I agreed to meet with X the next day, as he said he also had photographs he’d wanted to show me. When I got to his place, he unloaded book after book of photos he’d taken in Seattle, New York and the Middle East. In the pictures, he focused on the gritty aspects of American cities, and illuminated the color and beauty of people in foreign lands.

There were lots of photos of children and old people. There were also tons of windows, doorways, alleys. And quite a few photos of young, beautiful women—his ex-girlfriend in Washington, some girls he met in Israel, a couple more he traveled with in Europe.

The photographs, like his writing, revealed someone who had depth, who was intelligent, and interested in the world. He saw beauty in unexpected places. He was passionate. But he also seemed disconnected somehow, and alone. In some strange way, I could relate with his freedom and with his isolation. He certainly wasn’t like anyone I had met on Maui. And I liked that.

After the photo exhibition, we ended up going to see some bands at a nearby club. We sat in the back, and he began rubbing my shoulders, his lips deliberately brushing my neck when he leaned in to speak, the rumbling bass of his voice tickling my ears, his hand inching forcefully up my short skirt.

I knew it was inappropriate. And yet, I didn’t want it to stop.

To be continued…
