This year, for the first time, Maui Time weighed in with election endorsements. Despite our small staff and limited resources, we took the task very seriously—we sent out questionnaires, researched voting records, brought candidates in for in-depth interviews. And when all the information was gathered, we engaged in a lively debate over which political hopefuls deserved our stamp of approval. Not every candidate we picked won, but we felt good about our selections. They were individuals we believed in—admittedly some more than others—and we were proud to support them.

The motivation for pushing the loan under the rug is obvious: Nishiki ran the anti-big development campaign, hammered his opponent for taking developer dollars and told us shortly before the election “I’m an independent voice that hasn’t taken any money from developers.” Until the money is paid off, Nishiki will have to recuse himself from any votes involving Dowling Co. Nishiki promised voters he would stand up to the development community; now he won’t be able to vote in any case involving one of Maui’s most notorious big builders. If Nishiki follows through on his promise to pay off the loan before he takes office (and we’ll be paying close attention to see that he does), that problem will be

Recently, information came to light that caused us to seriously question, and regret, one of our picks. In a piece that ran exclusively at mauitime.com last week, we broke the story that Wayne Nishiki, who we endorsed and who narrowly won the South Maui County Council seat, took out a $100,000 business loan from developer Everett Dowling while out of office. The money, which Nishiki still owes, was disclosed in an ethics form that was filed over two months late and wasn’t made public until after the election. Nishiki supporters have blamed forgetfulness; we’re not buying it. By filing the form late, despite repeated reminders, Nishiki kept the loan out of the news until after it might have harmed his chances.

solved. But the issue of trust will remain. Nishiki should have told voters about the loan at the outset of the election. He should have filed his form on time. He can point out that others filed various spending forms late, but he ran as the candidate of unyielding integrity and unflinching independence. As such, he’s held to a high standard; that’s the way it works. (To be clear, by pulling back our endorsement of Nishiki, we aren’t throwing our support behind Don Couch. We still have the same reservations about the contributions he took from developers.) Above all, we’re disappointed. It should never come as news when a politician is shown to be less than honest. But we believed what Nishiki told us—and, more important, what he told the people of Maui. He let us all down. MTW

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD IN CASE YOU NEED AN OAHU DR. When a four-bedroom house inhabited by 50 tenants partially collapsed in October in Honolulu, at least 10 of the residents said they had been pressured to let the property manager give them experimental “stem-cell” injections. Manager Daniel Cunningham, 56 and a de-licensed chiropractor, said he has been injecting the substance, phenol, into himself for years, to treat gnarled hands (though the hands appeared to a Honolulu Advertiser reporter to be deteriorating to the point where Cunningham wears socks over them). One man said Cunningham injected him directly into the eye, and others complained of various side effects. Cunningham ran for mayor of Honolulu this year and in the September primary received 737 votes on a platform of complaining about government’s meddling into health care.

SEX TRICKS Deceitful mating strategies may be rife in the animal kingdom (especially among humans), but Australian researchers recently documented the sexual guile of a group of orchids that basically trick male wasps into pollinating them by resembling the look and smell of female wasps. Writing in The American Naturalist, the authors noted that female wasps reproduce both with and without sperm, with the latter creating male offspring. Consequently, the researchers hypothesized, when orchids commandeer sperm, it indirectly leads to the birth of more future pollinators. (Charles Darwin’s subsequent book, after The Origin of Species, was The Various Contrivances by Which Orchids Are Fertilized by Insects.)

MILITARY INTELLIGENCE In 2003, retired Colorado businessman John Haines, who was concerned about dangerous cracks in the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery, went to great lengths to find and purchase a huge slab of the identical high-grade white marble of the Tomb and offered it, free of charge, shipping included, to the Army (which has been considering reconstruction of the Tomb since 1987). In the ensuing five years, according to an August Denver Post story, the Army continues to ignore Haines, yet periodically shows interest in opening the reconstruction to competitive bidding, but mostly just allows the idea to languish.

PERSONAL INJURIES (1) In August, a woman filed a lawsuit in Orange, Texas, against the manufacturer of the Sea-Doo personal water vehicle, claiming negligent design, after she fell off the back end and directly into the powerful jet stream from the vehicle’s water pump. According to the lawsuit, “The high-pressure stream ... penetrated her orifices, causing massive, mutilating injuries.” (2) However, in September, a federal jury in Baltimore rejected the claim by a 64-year-old West Virginia man that a Frederick, Md., surgeon had stapled his rectum shut during an operation. The jury accepted the doctor’s explanation that it was the man’s longtime, heavy smoking that caused his rectum to become swollen and shut for 17 days. MTW

THE WEEK

You’ve got to love it when a person takes some obscure, arbitrary, awesomely nitpicky thing and makes it his personal cause célèbre. Take, for example, bitchen.com, an amalgamation of intermittently amusing essays, articles and tidbits collected by some dude named Ric Johnson. What makes the site click worthy is its central goal: to change the spelling of the word “bitchin’,” replacing the second “i” with an “e” and getting rid of the apostrophe. An entire section is dedicated to this pressing linguistic issue; there’s even a fake document from a Civil War-era solider “using” the alternate spelling to describe a bank building back in the 1860s. Pretty bitchen. –JS

Environment or economy? Makena testimony illustrates Maui’s great debate “Supporting the economy sometimes means you have to sacrifice the environment.” - Council Land Use Committee Chair Mike Molina “Politicians are the ultimate creatures of the moment.” - New World New Mind, Robert Ornstein and Paul Ehrlich verybody knows by now that the Land Use Committee approved Everett Dowling’s request for zoning changes to parts of the Makena Resort area by a 7-2 vote (with Councilmembers Joanne Johnson and Michelle Anderson providing the dissenting votes). The changes would make the area compliant with the Kihei-Makena Community Plan, which is meant to guide future policy on a number of fronts. The changes also make room for around 1,000 new single- and multi-family housing units in an area of South Maui that is home to Oneloa/Big Beach State Park. But more importantly, the vote brings into sharp focus the ongoing tug of war that has come to define Maui politics at many levels: the environment versus the economy.

Plans to expand and develop the Makena Resort area have divided the community.

The conflicting viewpoints on developer Dowling’s expansion of Makena Resort reflect a greater dichotomy that pits the immediate needs of Mauians against those of the long term. The Land Use Committee had originally planned to begin hearing public testimony on the issue at 1:30pm Wednesday, but later moved the start time up to 8:30am. Nearly 150 members of the public signed up to deliver four-minute chunks of testimony on the project. Most represented unions, places of business and environmental groups, but some spoke solely on their own behalf. Speakers ranged greatly by age, background and stance on and knowledge of the issue. While one speaker mistakenly urged the Land Use Committee to think twice about Wailea 670 (a different controver-

Enough.” The economy was the primary driving force behind the testimonies of those favoring the project, but their arguments ranged in depth and tone. Ron Chapman, an employee of Dowling’s Maui Prince Hotel, gave one of the day-long session’s most emotive speeches. “How am I going to feed my family?” he asked Councilmember Michelle Anderson, who voted against the zoning changes. “What am I going to tell my kids?” Another speaker used the ultimate argu-

When anti-development speakers pointed to the endangered species that call Makena home, among them the critically endangered hawksbill sea turtle, which comes to Oneloa/Big Beach to nest, some pro-project attendees scoffed at the notion that protecting endemic species that are hanging by a thread is as important as creating jobs for out-of-work Mauians as soon as possible. A few audience members waved signs sporting phrases like “Support Maui’s Future” whenever someone spoke against the development.

The conflicting viewpoints on developer Dowling’s expansion of Makena Resort reflect a greater debate, one that pits the immediate needs of Mauians against those of the long term. “We’re really caught between a rock and a hard place,” said South Maui resident Daniel Kanahele, who delivered public testimony Wednesday afternoon. “Our economy is at the mercy of unpredictable market forces. What would happen if the boats stopped coming?” A number of people suggested alternative means for job creation, including putting people to work on capital improvement projects and projects slated to take place in areas already zoned for development. In the end, minds were spoken but not changed. “We need Makena,” said Donald Poepoe Sr., who spoke on behalf of himself. “Makena is building up the way it’s supposed to.” The full council will likely vote on the changes in early December, and some are already gearing up to testify then. “We cannot let a hidden screen of development divide us,” said Zeke Kalua. “Oahu is Disneyland and we want to be Knott’s Berry Farm here.” MTW This issue is big enough to warrant coverage from multiple angles.

‘This isn’t about jobs’ Councilmembers miss the mark on Makena rezoning t’s been said that human beings use only a fraction of their full brain potential. Ample support of this theory was on display in the Maui County Council chambers last week, during two long days of testimony and deliberation for a request to re-zone hundreds of acres of the Makena Resort. After hearing more than seven hours of public testimony on Wednesday and deliberating for an equal amount of time the following day, seven of nine Council members cast their votes in favor of rezoning some 600 acres for an additional 1,000 high-end housing units, with 500 units of affordable housing to be built somewhere in South Maui. By voting affirmatively, the Council majority effectively overlooked or disregarded numerous big picture issues and legalities, and boiled down their reasons for support to an attempt to bolster Maui’s sagging economy. From early on, the two days of meetings had the appearance of a runaway train—that nothing would derail or slow the committee’s intent to pass the re-zoning as quickly as possible. In the end, that’s how it played out. The proposed ordinance is scheduled to be heard twice by the full County Council for first and second reading before going to Mayor Tavares for a signature. Early Wednesday, Council member Michelle Anderson, who along with Jo Anne Johnson voted against the proposal, quoted Robert’s Rules of Order and advice received from a Council Services attorney in stating

Departing Councilmember Michelle Anderson cast one of two ‘nay’ votes.

Land Use Committee Chair Michael Molina succinctly stated, “We’ll have a lot of time to work on that matter,” then dismissed it and began public testimony. crowd estimated as high as 400 people overflowed the Council chambers into the hallway. The first public testifier, Jacob Mau, traced his ancestry to the Honua`ula region that is slated for development by Makena Resort and Wailea 670/Honua`ula Partners, which received the Council’s go-ahead to build 1,400 units earlier this year. Mau said his family has a royal patent land court award to some of the land, and

said Maile Lu`uwai, who has deep family ties to the Makena area. “Your job is pau, and Makena is pau.” Lu`uwai stressed that a great deal of archaeological studies of the area need to be undertaken and an insufficient report was submitted with the application to rezone. Realtors Bonnie Newman and Mark Sheehan offered data from the Multiple Listing Service indicating there is already a glut of high-end housing and condos, and a stagnant market for sales. Wailea resident Mark Hyde said that the current global financial crisis means projects such as Makena are not viable. He cited shutdowns at the oceanfront Residences at Kapalua and at the

for this project, and no redundancy in the County water system.” Project proponents mentioned the idea of a desalination plant processing water from a brackish well, while others questioned the overall cost, effects on the reef eco-system, and why the desal plant wasn’t discussed in either the zoning application or an Environmental Impact Statement issued 34 years ago, in 1974. General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) Vice Chair Dick Mayer shared a resolution passed earlier this year stating that large projects should wait until the General Plan Revision is complete before seeking permits. “We already have more than enough entitlements,” said Mayer, noting that Makena Resort already has 150 acres with A-2 (apartment) zoning. “One thousand units could be built today, then you’d have a good faith effort by the developer to prove what he can do before rezoning everything,” Mayer said. He added that the South Maui region has upwards of 16,000 units already permitted or partially entitled, making the claim this project is needed for jobs misleading. “Do you think we should stop everything now, in light of the economy?” Councilmember William Medeiros asked Mayer. It was an early indication that he and fellow colleagues were buying the pleas for jobs hook, line and sinker, without a great deal of critical analysis. Many testifiers said they were in favor of jobs the community could agree upon, such as schools, infrastructure upgrades, medical centers, affordable housing and renewable

The two days of meetings had the appearance of a runaway train—that nothing would derail or slow the committee’s intent to pass the re-zoning as quickly as possible. that the committee should not be merely dusting off a vote from four years ago, containing 41 conditions of zoning in a unilateral agreement that was never signed by Seibu, then-owners of Makena Resort. She argued that those votes are now null and void, and that it is improper, if not illegal to simply reconsider conditions of a modified project with an incomplete application.

Many testifiers spoke of the beauty, sacredness and cultural significance of the undeveloped regions, contrasting the sprawling urbanization of Kihei and Wailea.

Grantham asked about a remark the Councilmember made in an April Budget Committee meeting, when Victorino said a “private party” had agreed to build 100 housing units in South Maui and would donate them. His buttons pushed and temper flaring, Victorino’s tirade ended only when Chair Molina gaveled the meeting into a quick recess. After the break, Grantham was only allowed to state that he didn’t accuse Victorino of any wrongdoing. Before the meeting ended, Victorino’s comments indicated the “private party” was indeed developer Dowling. Thursday’s meeting primarily saw Councilmember Anderson valiantly attempting to attach meaningful language to conditions previously agreed upon four years ago. She had success in inserting specifics about cultural inventory surveys and preservation plans, following applicable water rules, near shore water quality monitoring and other concerns. But on the matter of complying with the County Workforce Housing Policy, her colleagues dispensed with reason and failed to follow the letter of the law, in effect shorting the people of Maui 500 affordable units. The policy, adopted two years ago, requires that a development selling units at market price of over $600,000 provide that 50 percent of all units be affordable. At the Wailea 670 project with 1,400 units, for instance, 700 affordables were required, Yet committee members didn’t ask how only 500 affordable units would suffice for the 1,000 market price units proposed at Makena. Neither did they seek any information about where they might be built, what regional impacts might result or where the water would come from. Instead, Council Chair Riki Hokama got testy when Housing Director Lori Tsuhako was unable to offer any insight on how to inter-

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

BY JACOB SHAFER JACOB@MAUITIME.COM

anything? I’m not blaming the individuals; I know they’re just following a directive. But it’s gotten to the point where, from taking your laptop out of your carryon to removing to your slippers, it’s more about the illusion of safety than, you know, actual safety… In other news: Sign of the Apocalypse Number 1,873: I see in the AP’s “Today’s People” column printed in The Maui News that little Scientologistin-training Suri Cruise has been named one of “Hollywood’s 10 Hottest Tots” by Forbes.com. OK, I’m just gonna reel off the first three words that come to mind: creepy, stupid, whatthefuck… In other, other news: There’s been a lot of talk about how Obama wants to build a team of rivals. But based on his appointments thus far, it seems more like he wants to build a team of former Clinton Administration insiders. Seriously, other than Hillary being President rather than Secretary of State, how different would the cabinet have looked if she had won? This isn’t necessarily a bad thing—we did enjoy some peace and prosperity (remember those?) during the Clinton years. But it ain’t change.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19 The career paths of Senators and good buddies Ted Stevens and Dan Inouye are now officially headed in opposite directions. Inouye’s party is in charge and he’s poised to inherit a very important committee chairmanship; Stevens is a newly convicted felon and about-to-be former Senator. After absentee and rural ballots (which apparently took a little longer to make it through the snow) were added to the mix, Stevens’s opponent, Democrat Mark Begich, pulled ahead. Barring a recount or other shenanigans, Stevens, the longest-serving Republican Senator in history and an Alaskan icon, will now just be an ordinary citizen. And a felon, did we mention that?… In other news: Another Senator who seemed to be heading for a royal bitch slap escaped with a love tap. Despite fighting for the other side and all but openly lobbying to be the GOP’s vice presidential pick, Joe Lieberman will keep his post as chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee. Man, what happened to the good old days when turncoats were tarred and feathered in public? Imagine the ratings that would get for C-SPAN.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20 Had to make an unexpected trek to the Kahului airport today, and I know airport security jokes are almost as stale as the food on the planes (ba, dum…cha!) but seriously: is that person who peers for two seconds into your trunk at the entrance to the public parking lot really accomplishing

NOVEMBER 26, 2008

He goes back, he leaps, he catches...flak from PETA.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21 It deserves more ink down the road, but this space will have to do for now: The Superferry Chronicles, a new book by Koohan Paik and Jerry Mander (awesome name, by the way), is a must-read for anyone looking to get the under-reported back story on our seafaring boondoggle and learn about the good and bad guys who starred in the (still unfolding) melodrama. The authors are staging a reading and discussion on December 2 in Paia; see Picks of the Week for details.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22 From chatting with kids at the Lahaina Cannery Mall to photo-opping with his dad in the County Council chambers to participating in a golf tournament, World Series golden boy Shane Victorino’s triumphant return to Maui has been a busy one. No word yet on whether PETA has decided to rescind its ridiculous stance against Shane’s love of Spam. We didn’t hit them for it at the time, but jeez people—it’s called picking your battles. This kind of stuff is the reason PETA has gone from a legit organization with an important message to a cheap punchline.

the bullet, making this the good kind of perfect storm.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24 Journalists and the media they serve catch a lot of flak. Sometimes we deserve it. But it’s important to remember that this is an important job that often requires bravery and sacrifice. Take Sarah Park, a Honolulu Star-Bulletin reporter who went up in a plane to cover a tsunami off the North Shore of Oahu in 1957 and died when the craft went down. Park’s name will be added this spring to the Journalists Memorial in Washington D.C. We salute her, and the many other members of this fine profession who have paid the ultimate price to get the story… Jumping jarringly from the serious to the silly, we present the headline of the week, from an AP story in today’s Maui News: “Astronauts tinker with urine-towater gadget.” [Insert juvenile joke here.]

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25 Cheech and Chong timed their comeback perfectly: Even as pot advocate Brian Murphy of Paia awaits trial, the Honolulu Advertiser reports that the number of medical marijuana users statewide has grown about 87 percent over the last two years. More doctors are handing out prescriptions (one Big Island doc, according to the Advertiser, prescribes sticky-icky to about half the state’s certified patients) and they’re finding plenty of demand. Whether you think cannabis is legitimate medicine or this whole thing is an elaborate ruse to usher outright decriminalization through the back door, it’s impossible to deny that there are a whole lot of people— most of them otherwise law-abiding, taxpaying, apple pie-eating citizens—who want access to ganja. But I guess we already knew that. MTW

OVERHEARD...

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23 Further proof that rain is awesome and it would be great if we got more of it: Though it dampened beach plans, the recent wetness helped put out the last smoldering bits of the fire on Lanai, filled reservoirs and cut demand by over 3.7 million gallons a day island-wide according to a report from the county water director. And while Kauai and Oahu dealt with flooding, Maui dodged

the Business End A look at the week’s economic winners and losers... Hawaii was hit with 18 “mass layoffs” in September and October resulting in over 1,800 people losing their jobs, according to data from the U.S. Department of Labor. “Mass layoffs,” defined as 50 or more workers going jobless for at least 30 days, were initiated at over 2,000 companies nationwide last month. That’s the worst October the U.S. workforce has endured since 2001. Even as workers broke ground on the new Whole Foods store in Kahului, the grocery giant got some bad news on two fronts. First, stocks took a nosedive, falling to the lowest mark in the past year (before recovering slightly). Then came word that an appeals court judge shot down the Texas-based company’s latest effort to ward off antitrust charges related to the acquisition of rival Wild Oats Markets in 2007. If you’ve got one of these jobs, be happy: Online employment firm Jobfox.com compiled a list of the “100 Most Recession Proof Professions.” The top five: sales rep./business development; software design/development; nursing; accounting and finance executive; accounting staff. Surprisingly not on the list? Manufacturers of those over-the-shoulder hobo satchels. Another dispatch from the department of repetitive redundancy: Pacific Business News reports that the latest figures for November show hotel occupancy continuing to plummet statewide, with Maui hit by far the hardest. In the interest of avoiding beating this dead horse any more— not to mention keeping hotel executives off the window ledge—we’re going to pledge right here that you won’t read another word about hotel occupancy numbers in this space until they go up. So yeah—it’s gonna be a while. Those hoping for a rosier 2009 should either abandon those hopes, start drinking heavily or possibly both, according to a report from the University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO). Fewer visitors will arrive, more jobs will be lost and income will stagnate and decline in the New Year, warns UHERO. “Economic conditions are now poor in virtually every visitor market, and as a result we expect the current sharp tourism downturn to continue well into next year,” reads the report. Gluttons for punishment can read the whole thing at uhero.prognoz.com. Again, drinking before, during and after is recommended. CnnMoney.com reports that, in an effort to cut costs, “General Motors is bailing out on Tiger Woods” by ending its endorsement contract with thefamed golfer. While we’re sure Woods would have kept taking GM’s money, for a guy who tries to project an air of unflappability, getting out from underneath a lurching corporate supernova was probably a good move.

‘Tis the season to help local nonprofits… In these tough economic times, with stocks tumbling and prices soaring, most people are focused on their own bottom line. That’s completely understandable. But just because things are tight, that doesn’t mean those less fortunate are any less needy—in fact, quite the opposite. OK, OK I get it, you say. You’ve convinced me. But to whom should I give, and what do they need? Well, like a team of diminutive Arctic toymakers, we’re here to help. As we do every year around the holidays, we’ve compiled a list of local charities and nonprofits and highlighted a few of the items that sit atop their respective wish lists. A lot of the stuff they need isn’t too expensive; you may have some of it lying around your house gathering dust. So go ahead—give. It won’t raise the Dow, but it’ll lift somebody’s spirits. And that might be even better. - JS 12

Think locally Keeping your dollars on Maui has a big impact OK, you’ve given all you can to charity—now what? How do you continue to have a positive impact on the community even as you spend money on yourself and your loved ones? The short answer: shop locally. According to data from the economic analysis firm Civic Economics, 68 cents of every dollar spent at a locally owned business stays local, meaning that money circulates to other establishments rather than sailing off to the Mainland or some foreign destination. By contrast, only 43 cents of every dollar spent at a chain store sticks around. That extra 25 cents adds up fast. How fast? Civic Economics estimates that if every reader of Maui Time promised to spend $100 at locally owned businesses over the holidays, the net effect would be $15 million staying right here. That’s over $2 million more than if that money was spent at big box behemoths. It’s easy to feel hopeless about the economic situation, to throw up your hands and say “there’s nothing I can do.” So here’s something you can do. Right now. Today. Send an e-mail to pledge@mauitime.com. Write “I pledge” in the body of the message, which we’ll take as your promise to shop locally. Include your name, address and contact info and you’ll be entered into a drawing to win a $1,000 gift certificate package donated by the very businesses you’re promising to support. So: money stays on Maui, locally owned businesses benefit, you get the chance to win some cool prizes and feel all warm and fuzzy while buying stuff. It’s your classic win-win-win. - JS

In fact, just about anywhere you go, you can count on the local brewery to provide quality, stick-to-your-ribs food in a convivial, casual setting. Maui Brewing Company is no exception to this rule; in fact, it’s a shining example of it.

Maui Brewing Co. Kahana Gateway Center, 4405 Honoapiilani Hwy., Lahaina, 669-3474

Located in the Kahana Gateway Center in the building that used to house Fish & Game, Maui Brew Co.’s fully renovated restaurant is spacious and welcoming. Ample natural lighting brightens the space and softens the industrial décor, as do a number of “keg lights” (light fixtures made from actual kegs) that hang from the ceiling. Big wooden picnic tables fill the center of the room, with more intimate booths off to the side. Owner Garret Marrero says he built the tables (meaning literally, he built them) to create an old time pub atmosphere, a place where people would enter as strangers and, a few pints and a bit of conversation later, emerge as friends. Though it doesn’t stray too far afield from the usual brewpub fare, the menu is loaded with enticing options. Soups, salads, onion rings, nachos, burgers, steaks, pizza, all cooked with fresh quality ingredients, many of them local—let’s just say, come hungry. I settled on the fish and chips, always a good barometer of an establishment’s overall commitment to quality. If a place serves up a basket of uniformly shaped, defrosted slabs with soggy fries, you can bet that lackluster attitude spills over into the rest of the menu. No worries here—the fish was fresh and flavorful, and the fries crisp and warm. But the made-on-site beer batter was what really pulled the dish away from the pack. Even decent fish and chips are often over-battered;

usually there’s at least one piece that’s more dough than mahi. Maui Brew Co.’s signature batter, on the other hand, is light but flavorful, encasing and complementing the fish without overwhelming it. And for me, anything made from beer earns automatic points. Which brings us to: the beer. Even if you haven’t visited Maui Brew Co.’s restaurant or the brewing facility in Lahaina, you’ve surely seen their product lining the shelves of your neighborhood grocery store or mini mart. In retail form, the beer comes in cans. Why? Funny you should ask, because Marrero has put more thought into the can vs. bottle debate than many people put into, well, anything. Basically it boils down to preserving the freshness of the beer and being more environmentally conscious (the specifics are best left for another article; for now visit www.mauibrewingco.com to learn more about the company’s admirably thoughtful philosophy, which extends well beyond how they package their beer). At any rate, the canned stuff is good, and if you like beer and live on Maui you’ve probably tried it. But I’m a big proponent of tasting beer right out of the tap whenever possible, another compelling reason to visit the brewpub. Whatever your preferred taste and type—dark, slight, sweet, hoppy—you’ll find a suitable libation. On the lighter end of the spectrum there’s the ever-popular Bikini Blonde lager, which has almost no bitterness and an extremely smooth finish. Another of MBC’s more ubiquitous offerings is the Big Swell IPA, a delightful concoction for an unapologetic hop head like me; I found it to be the perfect accompaniment for the fish and chips (then again, I also have found it to be the perfect accompaniment for M&Ms and mango ice cream so, you know, take my word for what it’s worth). Fans of the dark arts might want to go with a rich, creamy, chocolate- and coffeetinged coconut porter. Or, if you’re really feeling adventurous, confess your sins to the Father Damien Abby Ale, a complex meld of sweet and malty flavors that weighs in with a hefty 9.6 percent alcohol content. You’ll probably want to order a big plate of something if you’re planning to tip back more than one of those babies. If you choose to do your imbibing up at the bar, be sure to take advantage of the newly installed frost ring, a refrigerated strip of that runs around the edge of the bar, allowing patrons to keep their glasses

cool (it’s also a good incentive to follow Mom’s advice and keep your elbows off the table). The frost ring is just one of many decorative and practical flourishes MBC has added that elevate the establishment from just another brewpub to something truly unique and special. With its empha-

sis on sustainability, local ingredients and staying in harmony with the Maui community, those same words could be used to describe the company as a whole. And did we mention the beer is really good? Okole maluna! MTW

Traditional Turkey Dinner

BY KATE BRADSHAW CALENDAR@MAUITIME.COM

Drinks that go with turkey

Starting at 4:00 pm Choice of Soup or Salad

ROAST TURKEY PLATE

Giblet Gravy, Apple and Portuguese Sausage Stuffing, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Fresh Cranberry Sauce, Candied Yams, Buttered Green Beans and Homemade Pumpkin Pie

MAUI BLANC, TEDESCHI WINERY

$21.95

Maui’s only winery produces a lot of light and fruity whites, which serve as a nice complement to all the rich, savory flavors that make up a traditional holiday feast. Then again, in addition to turkey and stuffing you’re also eating yams (possibly containing marshmallows) and cranberry sauce, so you don’t want your wine to be too sweet. That’s why the Maui Blanc’s a safe pick: the pineapple flavor isn’t overpowering. This actually tastes more like wine than fruit punch. Speaking of fruit…

For all Kids 12 years and younger, A Turkey Dinner plate, FREE! Does NOT include starter or dessert.

For kids, teetotalers or those who are already drunk enough by the time the bird is served, this is a great alternative. It’s got the same pucker factor as a glass of white wine without the kick. There’s one ubiquitous juice company that makes this stuff, but we’re not going to mention their name here (let’s just say it rhymes, fittingly, with “belches.”) If you’re not into the whole feeding the corporate beast thing, a few smaller companies also bottle white grape nectar. I’m not aware of any that are easy to find on Maui, but if they do exist I’m sure I’ll hear about it.

SHIRLEY TEMPLE

Thanksgiving at my grandma’s house was usually marked by two things: somebody having a few too many and making an ill-advised speech with their elbow in the gravy boat and us kids loading up on grenadine and Sprite. So part of this recommendation might be due to fuzzy happy memories. But I swear the combination is dynamite with turkey and fixins. The best part: just when you think you’re too full to eat another bite, you burp out some carbonation and find there’s room for a second slice of pie after all.

ART&ENTERTAINMENT

BY JESSICA ARMSTRONG JESSICA@MAUITIME.COM

Thinking inside the box Art exhibit proves good things come in small packages very small art exhibit has been making its way around the country. Currently in its ninth incarnation, the annual Shoebox Sculpture Exhibition has traveled the nation, inspiring and confounding audiences with how much skill, creativity and meaning can fit inside a regulation shoebox. Now a large portion of the show is coming to Maui— 82 of the 121 original sculptures that were collected at the University of Hawaii Art Gallery.

Shoebox Sculpture Exhibition MACC Schaefer Gallery, Kahului, Tues.-Sat. 11am-5pm through Dec. 14, free, Info: 242-2787 or www.mauiarts.org

When I visited the exhibit at the MACC, the final showing for this compilation, I found a collection of works connected to one another only by size. There were as many different styles as there were artists, from metal to handmade paper, dehydrated vegetables to human hair. Some pieces spoke in concrete images, others took a more conceptual form. There were a predictably large number of footwear sculptures, though the pieces themselves were anything but predictable—one entry, titled “Riding Roughshod,” was made from actual cattle hoof and a satin ballet slipper. The idea behind the exhibit, which attracts well-known artists from around the world, is that all the sculptures must fit inside a shoebox. The parameters of the show make it easy to ship shoebox art across the country and out to Hawaii, but the rules also force the artists, many of whom are used to creating large sculptures, to work on a much smaller scale than they’re accustomed to while still creating works of significance. Ana Theil of Mexico managed to nail the objective. “The Key” makes use of an old book opened to show indistinguishable writings, possibly in

NOVEMBER 26, 2008

German, but although the pages are fragile to the point of decomposition, the power of the message they hold is strong. Looking through a gaping hole in the cover, made of some seemingly impenetrable metal, the viewer sees the opaque shine of glass enclosing a key. Sitting before each piece is an artist’s card, delivered to give us some sense of how to view their work. Theil’s says, “My sculptures explore the depth of emotions and being, combined with a desire to convey a message of harmony and strength.” Looking at her piece I felt that some intense, raw human emotion of incredible power must be conveyed on those delicate pages, a message to strong to be held in the confines of the covers. Other straightforward sculptures—like “Shoes for Imelda” by Glenn Williams, which looked like an ordinary pair of strappy high heels, except they were made of steel and connected eternally by a chain—seemed to satisfy the rules of the exhibit without eliciting much imagery. Many of the works were conceptual, abstract and made complex or cultural statements. Still others were lighthearted and absurd, like “Life Lessons” by Honolulu’s Frank Sheriff, who created a bronze sculpture of a happy baby covered in toads holding dice, condoms, and baby toads. His card reads, “Moral of story: frogs are okay; it’s the toads you’ve got to watch out for.” It’s the variety of works in this exhibit that makes a real statement. There’s no limit to what can fit inside a shoebox, and there are as many different representations as there are pieces on display. There’s something in this show for every taste, modern, classic, industrial, abstract, political and everything in between. It’s proof positive that good things come in small packages. MTW

A People’s History of American Empire Howard Zinn, Mike Konopacki, Paul Buhle I once wrote that if I could go back in time and punch any historical figure in the face it would probably be that pucker-faced asshat Andrew Jackson. When a friend inquired why, I cited the Trail of Tears for my main reason. Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States has been filling people in on the uglier and lesser-known actions of the U.S. government for almost 30 years—from the usually-ignored perspective of the conquered. It provides example after example of how the government acts in the interest of a select few rather than for the good of the general population. Zinn provides some pretty unsavory details about the behavior of our beloved forefathers. Consider his account of Teddy Roosevelt’s attitude toward Hawaii: “When the United States did not annex Hawaii in 1893...Roosevelt called this hesitancy ‘a crime against white civilization.’” Asshole. Empire is a graphic novel that packages many of the lessons dealing with American imperialism contained in History plus anecdotes from Zinn’s own life. The graphics and photos of historical figures help you visualize the ones you want to punch.

Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies Jared Diamond Sad fact of the week: there are still human beings on this planet that actually believe some dude in the sky who has a huge beard favors one clump of humanity over another. More than an interesting read, Guns, Germs, and Steel provides loads of cold, hard evidence that this is clearly not the case. Using a number of approaches and disciplines, Diamond shows us something we already know: that there is no group of humans that is innately superior to others. Instead, he says, populations in certain regions (namely Western Europe) had certain environmental advantages, such as the abundance of easily domesticated animals and resistance to disease, where others did not. This sparked the development of various technologies that ultimately led to brutal impositions on other populations. Diamond’s writing can get a little dry when explaining things like genetics (especially in Chapter 7, “How to Make an Almond”), but overall it’s an essential read.

From a Native Daughter: Colonialism and Sovereignty in Hawaii Haunani-Kay Trask There’s no way I would write a column about the white man’s blind hunger for empire, especially for a publication based in Hawaii, without mentioning a work that deals with what happened, and continues to happen, here in the isles. Trask is a professor at University of Hawaii as well as a tireless activist; Native Daughter is a collection of impassioned essays. Part one deals with sovereignty on the international level, part two explores the meaning of sovereignty for Hawaiians, part three explores the idea of post-colonial sovereignty, and the final section boldly confronts University of Hawaii, which Trask believes is fundamentally racist against Hawaiians. This is one of those works that will make your blood boil regardless of the color of your skin. MTW

FILMCRITIQUE

BY BARRY WURST II BARRY@MAUITIME.COM

Sucked dry Lifeless vampire romance deserves a stake through the heart I haven’t read Stephanie Meyer’s book, Twilight, upon which this movie is based. But I can assume it’s better than the film, which is so bad, were the book anything like this, no one would have read it in the first place.

Twilight

★★★★★ Rated PG-13/121 min.

Moody teen Bella (Kristen Stewart) moves to a new town and falls in love with Edward (Robert Pattinson), who, we quickly learn, is a vampire. His bloodlust is tamed by her puppy love and they share an unlikely romance. The clichéd Love Conquers All

angle could’ve worked if the two leads gave passionate performances, but Stewart recites all her lines in the same monotone (except when she’s shouting) and Pattinson’s wide-eyed staring is unintentionally hilarious. His sideburns, huge hair, soft vocals and tendency to squint make him appear like an undead Luke Perry. The high school they attend, in which all the students and teachers overact like cast mates on Saved by The Bell, is equally unconvincing. The dialogue and special effects are laughably bad, as is a vampire baseball game (must be seen to be believed) and the way the camera circles around Pattinson while he plays the piano, as if we were watching an Elton John video. The vampires, both in appearance and ability, are uninteresting: they can fly, live forever and posses great strength, but don’t wear capes or do shape shifting or have fangs or have allergies to garlic, mirrors or crucifixes—and aren’t scary. In fact, from the description I just gave, do they even sound like vampires?

She wants to make out, but she had spaghetti for lunch.

Despite the help of “Claire de Lune” and Radiohead, the song and music score are weak (though the soundtrack was sitting atop the charts before the film was even released, proof that sales and quality don’t always line up). The filming—with a blue tint making every scene appear overcast—is an eyesore. Considering that director Catherine Hardwicke’s best known films, Thirteen and

Friday (Nov 28), 5 & 7:30pm, Castle Theater, MACC

Friday (Nov 28), 10pm, Cellar 744, Lahaina

Hawaii’s waters can at times be infested with some real asshelmets. Yes, humility and generosity go out the door for some board-wielding individuals looking for the next ride. Big wave surfer Dan Moore, according to filmmaker Phillip Waller, seems to embody the opposite mindset. Walker’s film, Finding Aloha, serves as a portal into the world of Moore and all those with whom Moore has shared the waves, including Mark Anderson (Moore’s Jaws towing partner), Vetea David and Layne Beachley. Those seeking an antidote to postThanksgiving shopping insanity may appreciate this film’s implicit wisdom. $12.

So, if you haven’t been to the Cellar yet this may be the time to check it out. San Francisco-cased electronic musician Miguel Migs brings his distinct sound to the brand new nightclub Friday night. Migs has be quite in demand of late; over a month and a half period he’s playing Toronto, Chicago, Denver, Cabo San Lucas and, of course, Hawaii. His sound combines traditional elements of electronic music with music he composed and played on guitar and other instruments as well as his own lyrics. The resulting sound has been called organic and soulful, and I concur. $20. KB

Food for thought

Why we fight

Friday, Nov. 28, 11am-11pm, Hula Grill, Whaler’s Village, Kaanapali

Tuesday (Dec. 2), 7pm, Kau Inoa Senior Center, Paia

Everybody knows that the day after Thanksgiving is the biggest shopping day of the year. Consumerism goes crazy as soccer moms and overachieving grandparents get ready to spoil children everywhere for the holidays. This, of course, is good news for the Whaler’s Village shopping center in the Kaanapali Resort, with all its high-end gift, clothing and jewelry stores. Personally, I wouldn’t mind a bit if my parents went shopping for me at Coach this year. This, however, is not why I am writing this pick. This historic spending day is also the day that the bartenders at the Hula Grill will donate all of their tips to the Maui Food Bank. In the spirit of giving (and in memory of much loved late coworker Rich Apt) the Hula crew will be working for minimum wage and donating all the excess to make the holidays better for Maui families that depend on charity. So whether you’ve worked up a thirst buying fancy silk shirts at Tommy Bahama’s or from soaking up the sun on Dig Me beach, stop by for a mai tai and some pupus, and tip well. Last year the crew raised about $3,000 (OK, that’s an estimate, but it’s definitely in the ballpark) for Maui’s hungry, and they’re determined to do even better this year. JA

Humans suck. For those of us that happen to be members of this sucky species, and are aware of our suckiness, it is sometimes comforting to hear tales of the guts and heart contained by humans that don’t suck as much as the humans that are making things suck for other humans. The Superferry controversy is one of those things that makes you realize just how much humans suck at honoring their responsibilities not only to their own species, but to non-humans as well. Koohan Paik and Jerry Mander explore the Superferry’s journey in their book The Superferry Chronicles: Hawaii’s Uprising Against Militarism, Commercialism and the Desecration of the Earth, which they will discuss and sign Tuesday. The book highlights the nerve and dedication of the activists who crowded Kauai’s pier on surfboards, boogie boards and in canoes in an effort to turn the Superferry around. It also draws connections between militarism and the politics that surround Governor Lingle’s decision to defy a Supreme Court order by letting the giant catamaran sail - and through a whale sanctuary fuck’s sake. The book itself might be a reminder of human suckiness, but the event will likely be attended by humans who don’t really suck. The authors will also be speaking at Maui Community College, Science 12, at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, December 1, and at Borders on Dairy Road at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 2. KB

SIGNLANGUAGE

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) I’m terrible at doing nothing. In fact, I’m happiest when I’m doing several things at once. I spent a couple years doing a lot of nothing, staring at blank white walls and practicing Zen meditation. But I eventually discovered that what gave me inner peace was fun, over-stimulating, multi-tasking. That gave me the sense of wellbeing and joy that the sitting and breathing was supposed to provide. My point is, don’t pursue the path that someone else tells you is the correct one. Only you will be able to figure out what makes you happy, and that’s almost certainly not going to be what others think will do the trick. If you’ve been busily following someone else’s well-intentioned plan for you, this is a good week to switch over to an agenda you’re far better suited for: your own.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) I despise getting up before the sun. It’s a grim feeling when you climb out of bed and the world is still dark and cold, at least for me. I think some people revel in the solitude and stillness of those hours, but not me. I love opening the door and finding a world already bustling with activity. The demands of your life often require that you fall out of synch with your own natural rhythms. This week, however, is a good time to tune in with them again, and find ways to make them work for you, not against you.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Try not to be a Scrooge. I know times are tight, and you can’t afford much, but don’t be stingy on principle. Go out of your way to be as extravagant as you can afford to be without getting into trouble. Spend as if you don’t need to worry unduly about tomorrow. You don’t. For all you know, the world might end by then. And even if it doesn’t, as long as you leave yourself enough to cover your basic needs, you’ll be just fine. The world needs as much generosity as possible right now. It’s likely to create lots of juicy ripples. The more you give, the better off everyone—not just the people you give to—will be.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Your world has never been strictly linear before. Why should you start adhering to those principles now? Just because for other people three follows two follows one doesn’t mean it has to for you. Go ahead and start with seven, skip to three, head over to eleven, and finish up with two, if that’s what feels right. It doesn’t matter what we’re talking about, whether it’s a project of some kind, a courtship, or a journey. Your own unique way to navigate from start to finish will always works better for you than the path most everyone else pursues.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Pouting and tantrum-throwing don’t usually work for the kids who give those strategies a go (unless their parents are pushovers or idiots); why did you think they’d work for you? Sure, your paroxysms and sulks are more subtle than most 4-year-olds’, but they’re not much more likely to get the response you’d wish. There’s something childlike about every Aries. I find it usually charming and occasionally obnoxious. This week, you’re quite likely to stray into obnoxious territory, if you’re not careful. Watch what you say and do; if it’s something that could feasibly come from a bratty kid, please keep it to yourself.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Be a muse this week. Someone you know is capable of brilliance. They just need to be inspired, pushed, goaded, encouraged, taunted, or tricked into it. That’s your job. Sure, it’d be great if you could be the author of an act of genius, but that’s not in the cards right now. Even though it won’t come directly from you, however, you can still help bring something great into the world. Please do. There’ll be plenty of time and opportunity to express your own creative luster later. This week, help someone else make their mark, and take pride in the fact that even though only they could do it, they couldn’t have done it without you.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) I have a good Gemini friend who’s a bit daffy. She’s not the least bit stupid; just charmingly trusting and sometimes slightly clueless. I know she plays up her natural tendencies for laughs and charisma. It’s a good strategy. You should employ it this week. No need to pretend to be anything other than what you are—simply turn up the volume on it a little bit. Even if your capable of putting the “b” in subtle, leave that delicacy aside. It won’t serve you right now. Be whatever you are, times ten. If there’s any chance of you not getting your point across, you haven’t properly done your job.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Bad things happen. But there’s the kind of scenario where you accidentally hit the neighbor’s cat with your car, and the kind where you shoot it with your BB gun. Some people go out of their way—either consciously or unconsciously—to do stupid shit that ends up getting people (or critters) hurt. Make sure you are well on the right side of that moral line this week, or someone might call into question your own sense of responsibility and ethics. You and I have no doubt that you’re a compassionate person; make sure no one else has any reason to doubt it, either.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Empowering Hawaiians, Strengthening Hawai‘i

Ignoring a situation is sometimes almost as bad as being its author. Sometimes, as much as you’d rather not get involved, you have a moral obligation to step in and do something. This week may present one of those scenarios. Don’t be guilty of criminal neglect. If you see a problem, roll up your sleeves and get in there and try to fix it if you can. Walking away is not an option you ought to consider. Trust your gut here, not what people tell you. You have a chance to do some good; don’t let anyone talk you out of it.

The rudest thing you could do is hang up the phone. Closing off lines of communication is always at least a little cold; at times it’s downright cruel. Sometimes you have good reason. This week I’m not sure you do. Even though you highly doubt anything good will come of it, if you can stand to keep at least some slim avenue of contact open, I’d advise doing so. Wouldn’t it be a great surprise if something positive came out of this crappy situation? If there’s any chance of being pleasantly shocked by what happens next, I’d leave the door open a crack, just in case it does.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Usually the responsible thing to do isn’t the fun thing to do, but this week you have the rare good fortune that both are one and the same. It makes the whole situation kind of a no-brainer. Why in the hell would you question it? Haven’t you ever heard of the expression “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth”? What’s been given can easily be taken away. Gratefully accept it and enjoy it, would you? This situation is one that could change in a flash—the very second you make anyone regret making it possible. Avoid that for as long as you can, okay?

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) When your Daddy or Mommy gene kicks in this week, be careful how you express it, because the people most likely to receive parenting from you aren’t your kids, they’re your friends—and they might not take too kindly to it. You mean well, and your crew might very well need that kind of guidance, but it’s not your job to give it to them. Resist the temptation, even if it means they’ll screw up or get hurt. If they haven’t grown up by now, don’t you think it’s about time they did? The only way that will happen is if you let them.
