I, and others like me actually look forward to his profound wisdom. But no more.

I noticed how strangely rife with nonsense was this Thursday’s astro-section. When I started seeing the paragraphs laced with words like “Tuesdays” and “Wednesdays” I realized something had gone horribly, horribly wrong…

I looked at the top: Astro Mana?! Hardly.

Mason McGraw? Whaaaat? Where’s that Caeriel [Crestin] guy? Shock. How could something so infinitely good be discontinued?

Overly passionate about an astro-section?

Perhaps. But this is a lonely cry of mourning…

More importantly, it’s a cry of warning: next you’ll replace Holoholo Girl with Ann Landers, eh?

In your article (“More Pumping, Less Dumping,” Nov. 24, 2005) Jeff Strahn states that boaters will need to find hoses and work out the details for their storage. How impractical! On the mainland, a sanitation pump has its own hose. Think of it as being like a gasoline pump—no one would expect every vehicle to carry its own hose. Stowing a used septic hose aboard a boat is problematic, as you can imagine. Also, why have the expense of so many hoses when one would suffice? I think that if we want pumping to be successful, then everything should be done to make the system user-friendly.

Equip the pumper with the proper hose.

Also, I am glad to hear that funds are being sought from the tourism authority.

With high visitor counts, it would seem that inducing more tourism is not the best use of their budget.

ehbrah@mauitime.com Okay, you guys know that your booming bass car stereos are 100 percent illegal, right? If someone can hear your car stereo from more than 50 feet away, you’re breaking the law. The reason is that stereos that loud are a safety hazard. The sound’s not just resonating through your skull but it’s doing the same to everyone around you. I’m not trying to be a smartass or disrespectful to you boomers, but could you try thinking of others’ personal space? Did you ever think that as you blast your stereo, the rest of us hear you in our bedrooms, bathrooms, in the store and at the beach? I know for a fact that you have family and friends that you actually care about, and that they feel the same as us. Just a heads-up: if and when you do get fined, the ticket runs from $25 to $500. I’m just asking for a little respect and common courtesy! I know it’s cool to some, but it’s really rude and intrusive to others. I’m beginning to worry that doesn’t seem to be such a thing as peace and quiet anymore... even here in paradise.

Stick it to ‘em, Williams!

I’ve got three stickers on my laptop. They say “Maui Girl,” “Honu” and “Surf Naked.”

Whenever I travel, I get a lot of comments at airport checks when I have to take my computer out of the bag. Most people smile and, especially on the West Coast, say things like “Greet the island for me.”

Usually such things come from Dickensian print shops in China, Indonesia or Thailand, but these three come from a 15 square-foot room in Paia.

Rachel and Mark Williams make them.

Stickers Rachel and Mark Williams sell their stickers at the Kahului Swap Meet every Saturday.

You can get more information by emailing sailmdw@yahoo.com.

“I have been working in graphic design for a long time and had been producing my own T-shirts for a while, when someone suggested the sticker production to me,” says Mark Williams as he types my first name into his computer. “I thought, if only I could a get one dollar from every tourist coming to the islands, I would be very happy. So we started the small sticker business which grew bigger quickly.”

At first they only designed their stickers promoting Hawaiian spirit and paid someone else to produce them, but then they bought their own plotter and began die-cutting the stickers themselves. They have to order the sticker backing—which comes in big rolls— but everything else is done on Maui.

By now Williams is really quick in his designing. As we talk I notice that he’s added a red hibiscus flower and put my name into a fancy type. “It’s a vector based program,” he says. “It’s all based on mathematical formulas and is ridiculously expensive. The plotter alone can cost you between $2,000 for a cheap one, up to $75,000.”

Both Mark and Rachel work their nor-

mal day jobs at Silk Graphics and Moonbow Tropics respectively, then put in late hours on their sticker business.

“Sometimes he gets up at 4 a.m. to cut stickers, goes to work around seven and then continues to work on the stickers when he gets back from work at 7 p.m.,” says Rachel as her husband pulls off extra vinyl from a huge sheet of honu stickers. This is called “weeding,” and it takes a long time because you have to take care not to destroy the stickers.

“I used to go real slow and pull it design by design, but now I’ve gotten braver and just pull the whole sheet and then concentrate on the small pieces,” says Mark.

The busy couple says they produce more than 2,000 stickers every month, in six different colors and various sizes. They sell regularly to more than 10 shops on Maui.

“Our designs represent the lifestyle on Maui,” says Rachel while her husband weeds off the vinyl around my name and the flower next to it.

“They show what we love about it and we are proud that we sell to tourists and locals alike.”

They still tend to keep their sticker business fairly small, though they could get a lot bigger.

“We are getting many requests and sometimes a lot at the same time,” says Rachel. “When it rains it pours, but we don’t want to disappoint our loyal long-term customers, so we have to reject work sometimes. It really is a question for us right now if we want to take this leap.”

Sometimes they work all-nighters to finish an urgent special order. “In October we just did the big Red Bull banner for the King of The Air contest,” says Rachel. “It had to be done within 24 hours and we really should’ve had some Red Bull to stay awake since we worked all night. We were even invited to their big party but were so tired we didn’t go. But we did pull off the job in 24 hours.”

By now, Mark has sealed the top of my name sticker with clear vinyl and is cutting it to the right size, giving me a new, one-of-a-kind sticker for my laptop. It’s no “Surf Naked,” but I’m sure airport security guards around the world will love it. MTW

On The UPside With TERI

Cunning Lingle What Governor Linda Lingle was paraphrased saying in a Nov. 30, 2005 Associated Press story on how the state is forgiving more than $1 million in unpaid income taxes for bankrupt Aloha Airlines: “Gov. Linda Lingle said the action was taken because the state was an unsecured creditor and could not have expected to collect the funds. Lingle said the state feared Aloha would shut down and workers would be fired if it were forced to sell its assets to pay debts.”

What she didn’t say: The rest of us should be so lucky. Working stiffs skip a couple hundred in state income taxes and we’re looking at jail time—Aloha starts whining about having to fire people if they’re forced to pay taxes and Lingle completely caves. Oh, and state campaign spending records show Lingle took more than $6,000 from Aloha Airlines’ political action committee and employees since her 2002 campaign.

MAUICOUNTY

BY ANTHONY PIGNATARO ANTHONY@MAUITIME.COM

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 30 Go visit the Renaissance Wailea Beach Resort while you can, because they’re knocking it down next spring. Of course they’re going to demolish it—it’s 29 years old. It’s ancient! Did you know it dates clear back to the 20th century? It was built in 1976, a quaint time when people subsisted on 12 television channels, listened to music recorded on magnetic tape and drove cars that got just eight miles to the gallon. Boy, glad those days are gone. Anyway, the Renaissance Wailea is obviously totally obsolete so its owners want it knocked into debris. Like the guys who own the Royal Lahaina and Kapalua Bay Hotel—you know who you are—they want it replaced with a smaller, more “elite” hotel. In this case, by the St. Regis. It’ll be a place where very rich snobs can sip Mai Tais, gaze at Kaho’olawe and spend their days coming up with new reasons why they’re better than everyone else.

THURSDAY, DEC. 1 So there’s a new report out commissioned by the state Land Use Commission that says Maui County doesn’t have strong rules in place to make sure that people building on land zoned for agriculture are actually doing agriculture. You don’t need a report to tell you that—just drive through Launiupoko and see for yourself. If you spot a chicken coop you’ll be amazed.

And what’s this about how even lots “left fallow” (some of us refer to that as being “undeveloped”) are also in compliance?

Wow. You know, the tract house I grew up in had a “farm” in front of the house (next to the driveway) and another “farm” out back by the swing set and garbage cans. We “grew” crabgrass on our “acreage,” which was sometimes fallow when we didn’t get a lot of rain. Every weekend I had to “harvest” the crabgrass, but since none of us ate crabgrass clippings, we just threw it all away. We were reamed—in hindsight, we should have insisted that our lot get rezoned as agriculture and take the appropriate tax breaks.

FRIDAY, DEC. 2 Did you guys see that chart on the front page of today’s Maui News listing the various members of our powerful Iraq Coalition?

The “Coalition of the Willing” is how “President” George W. Bush used to call it.

Man, I’ve been to gun shows that packed more firepower. We’ve got troops in Iraq from Azerbaijan? Mongolia? El Salvador? What the hell did we say when Albania offered to send 120 guys? Don’t you think Armenia needs its 46 soldiers more than we do? And was it really necessary for Kazakhstan to send 27 soldiers? Oh man, do we suck.

They have tiny accessories— compass and flashlight on the shoelaces, secret pocket in the shoe’s tongue—but she also gives away many pairs in Tijuana because she actually designed the shoe for Mexican migrants to wear when they sneak across the border into the United States. The back of the shoe has a drawing of the country’s patron saint of migrants and a removable foot support has a crude map of the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a November Associated Press report.

Blond twins, Lamb and Lynx Gaede, age 13, of Bakersfield, Calif., sing professionally as Prussian Blue at white-supremacy concerts and rallies and on the whitenationalist Resistance Records label. They have songs like “Sacrifice,” which is a tribute to Hitler’s deputy Rudolf Hess, according to an October ABC News story. The girls’ parents home-school them and are active in the Aryan movement (rancherdad Ted Shaw’s cattle brand is a swastika).

Said Lynx, “We want our people to stay white. [W]e don’t want to just be, you know, a big muddle.”

MISMANAGED CARE According to more than 50 alleged witnesses in 30 pending lawsuits, former Seattle-area gynecologist Charles Momah, 48, sexually abused patients and permitted his non-gynecologist twin brother Dennis to stand in for him during some appointments during which he also sexually abused patients. Examples of suspicious

behavior, according to witness statements: Sometimes their doctor was talkative, sometimes confused and nearly silent; sometimes he spoke English clearly, sometimes broken; sometimes he walked with a limp, sometimes not; sometimes there were scars on his face, sometimes not. The Momahs deny everything, but Charles was convicted in November of sexually abusing four of the patients.

POLICE BLOTTER From the newspaper The State (Columbia, S.C., Nov. 14, 2005), regarding fugitive Rodney Dane Higginbotham, wanted for criminal domestic violence: “Alleged Crime: Police said Higginbotham argued with his wife because she had not cooked anything. When she began cooking, he started making spaghetti while eating crackers and squeeze cheese.

They argued, and he squeezed cheese on the kitchen floor. She squeezed the cheese on his truck, and he squeezed the cheese in her hair before fleeing in his truck. The wife said she washed her hair before the officer arrived to take her complaint.”

BRIGHT IDEAS In November, NASCAR announced it had contracted with the romance publisher Harlequin Enterprises to arrange for steamy women’s novels with car-racing themes, beginning with Pamela Britton’s forthcoming book In the Groove. And according to an October Los Angeles Times report, the trade association Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America contracted to pay two writers a “sixfigure” fee to write a novel about a national panic resulting from a fear that drug lobbyists had actually been trying to spread in Congress, specifically, that terrorists might poison lowerpriced drug imports from Canada.

Not Guilty

How they beat the world’s only superpower Most Americans were unaware that we had botched Afghanistan; most still are. I watched the Pentagon send in a miniscule 8,000-troop complement where, according to its top strategists, at least half a million occupation soldiers (stationed for at least 20 years) would have been needed to control the nation’s roads, pacify the provinces and establish the security essential for building an economy and political system.

Banditry and looting soon made the average Afghan nostalgic for the security that accompanies tyranny. On the other hand, since U.S. soldiers quickly gained a reputation for shoving, kidnapping, robbing and even torturing innocent Afghans, perhaps their small number was a good thing.

If Afghanistan was a dry run, I observed at the time, there was little reason to expect that Iraq would turn out less disastrously. But no one, especially not the newspaper editors who’d been conned into supporting the Fourth Afghan War, wanted to hear that argument.

Four years later, little has improved. Most Afghans, Peter Baker wrote recently in The Washington Post, “still grind out the subsistence lives they did under the Taliban.”

Women still wear the burqa. “Corruption is widespread,” The Week reports. “Outside Kabul, the country functions like a group of independent fiefdoms from the Middle Ages.” Ordinary Afghans “are angry at the continuing war, the widespread malnutrition, and the snail’s pace of progress.”

As I’d feared he would, Donald Rumsfeld deployed the same low-rent approach to Iraq. There were too few troops to secure the Iraqis or themselves.

As inexperienced weekend warriors shot up carloads of civilians from rooftops above invisible checkpoints, it soon became apparent that our forces were undereducated, poorly trained and excessively preoccupied with their own safety.

The Americans’ cultural insensitivity, often beyond the point of brutality, transformed people grateful to be liberated into insurgents in a matter of months.

Now even the hawks say that Iraq is lost. “The U.S. cannot accomplish anything further in Iraq militarily,” admitted Representative John Murtha, a Vietnam vet who sparked the serious debate Congress ought to have held back in 2002—when he voted for the war. “It is time to bring them home.”

Thomas Edelman, whose letter to the editor appeared in the New York Times the same day Murtha’s speech rocked the House of Representatives, articulates the last logical reason not to cut and run. “Regurgitating the notion of ‘dancing Iraqis throwing flowers before American tanks’ has no merit when

the brutal enemy to be defeated assumes with good reason that it is bound to win. All it has to do is to wait us out,” he wrote.

True, Iraqi resistance factions would wait for us to leave before turning on each other.

Then again, isn’t that what they’re doing now?

Edelman again: “The rhetoric of aspersions cast on our leaders for having deliberately misled us; the repeated dangling of terrible mistakes; and the rumblings about the impatience of the American people not only give the terrorists hope but also convince them that what is in their minds a weak and contemptible society of ‘infidels’ lacks the fortitude to see its mission completed.”

He’s partly right: If the United States could prevail against its fearsome Axis foes in World War II, it could surely beat—even after countless errors of omission and commission—a rag-tag assortment of ad hoc cells of moonlighting jihadis. But if wealth, education and weaponry were the sole determining factors in war, we would have won Vietnam. What was missing was political will.

Edelman’s plea for compartmentalization is appealing, but we can’t separate the way we went into Iraq from the challenge we face now.

Winning a war requires a politically unified society, something the United States hasn’t enjoyed since 1945. Since then our fractured nation has been unable to summon the unity to issue a formal declaration of war, much less win one. Bush-era America is highly fractured.

Because the Administration can’t count on most citizens to help, it has had to fight its wars in Afghanistan and Iraq on the cheap.

After 2000 most Americans told the CNNUSA Today-Gallup poll that Bush had not won “fair and square.” After 2004, the pollsters found, “the nation seemed nearly as divided as it had been in Bush’s first election.” How can he convince the half of the country that considers him an illegitimate usurper to risk their lives, or those of their sons and daughters? How can he get them to tighten their belts for a real war effort—one with sufficient troop strength to win?

Bush might have earned Democrats’ fealty by convening a sort of national unity government, one that recognized the deep and even ideological divide in the electorate, appointed Democrats to key cabinet posts and ruled from the center. Bush’s radicalright policies and appointees, coupled with his habit of impugning his critics as traitors, instead increased the alienation of those who thought he’d cheated. “Not my president,” the bumper-sticker read. And not their war.

The Republicans’ decision to forego consensus made it easy to start their war. It also made it impossible to win. MTW

LC Watch

In the last two years, the Maui County Liquor Control Board of Adjudication has found exactly zero licensees hauled before them “not guilty.” That’s quite a record for the county prosecutor’s office. Too bad for them it ended dramatically during the board’s Dec. 1, 2005 hearing.

Up on three counts related to over-serving a customer during one of its Dollar Nights back in February, things looked mighty bad for Moose McGillycuddy’s of Lahaina. Most establishments would just plead guilty or no contest, accept a few grand in fines and cut their losses—a practice the LC doesn’t exactly discourage.

Moose’s went the other way and hired defense attorney Dave Jorgensen from Ing, Horikawa and Jorgensen (they represent a sizeable portion of licensees who find themselves in the LC’s sights). The trial—and I use that term loosely—lasted five hours.

Prosecutor Andrew Martin’s case looked straightforward: police arrested a very intoxicated Edilberto Larrobis in the early morning hours of Feb. 16, after he got into an extremely minor traffic accident in the parking lot out front of House of Saimin. He was so drunk, police later said, that they couldn’t administer any field sobriety tests or determine his blood alcohol level (Larrobis later pled guilty to a DUI charge). A few days later, LC investigator John McMurray interviewed Larrobis, who said he’d gotten drunk at Moose’s.

As Jorgensen showed, Moose’s numerous security staff had tagged Larrobis as a potential problem early on. They watched him for hours, and when they realized he was “having too much fun,” they bounced him. He tried getting back in twice, but they refused him both times. Moose’s staff offered to pay for a cab ride home for him and his friend, but they said they were walking.

It didn’t help the prosecutor’s case that McMurray was at Moose’s for 40 minutes on the night in question— from 11:35 p.m. to 12:15 a.m.—and testified that he never saw anything amiss. In fact, Jorgensen’s whole point was that Martin never put forward any evidence that Larrobis was drunk when he was actually at Moose’s.

The board agreed, and found Moose’s not guilty of all counts.

“The standards you put into your club are exemplary,” said board member Marilyn Chapman after the verdict. “If more clubs would follow these procedures, we would all benefit from this.” The test will be how much time LC investigators like McMurray spend in Moose’s now.

DOCARE

Maui’s natural resources enforcement officers have many responsibilities. Too bad they have so little money.

By Cheryl Ambrozic-Mooz

M

att Yamamoto had his work cut out for him. It wasn’t that long ago that he found himself assisting the Fire Department with a recent 911-rescue call.

About 30 people had hiked up the Papaea (“Commando”) trail in the Kailua rainforest, then crossed a shallow river to a secluded area to do yoga. Deep in their meditative trance, they didn’t notice the dark clouds looming overhead or the rain pouring into the forest further up the mountain. The river began to swell. Rushing water nearly swept them away as they tried to cross back. Yamamoto assisted the fire department in rescuing them. “Many of the individuals we helped out of the [rescue helicopter] basket were completely naked,” he told me recently. “The river ripped their clothes right off their bodies.”

Yamamoto is a supervisor with the state’s Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement, which usually goes by the cuter acronym DOCARE. Part of Hawai’i’s Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), the DOCARE division is the state’s ultimate protector of our ‘aina and kai. The story of DOCARE is the story of how a small band of sworn officers are trying to make sure there’s a Hawai’i left for our grandchildren.

But in recent years the department has been facing a different danger: lack of

COVER STORY

funding. It’s forced them to get rid of badly needed enforcement officers. The department’s fiscal year 2006 budget consumes slightly less than 10 percent of DLNR’s $76.8 million annual outlay, which in itself takes up just one percent of the state’s General Fund. In fact, DOCARE is increasingly having difficulty facing the growing list of threats facing our natural resources.

“Environmental needs and political realities don’t always line up,” said Randy Awo who has been with Maui DOCARE for 18 years, the last seven as Branch Chief.

“It’s important that we make protecting our natural resources a political priority.”

From evicting trespassers living in lava caves to busting gun-toting, ice-smoking poachers in the mountains, DOCARE officers face daily challenges that are as unique as Maui’s environment. “We hit the ground running, ready for anything,” said Yamamoto. “We are faced with the dangerous and the bizarre.”

For instance, DOCARE officer Nalu Yen told of hiking into the uninviting kiawe thicket next to the Pu’u Olai cinder cone in Makena State park and finding a new definition of the term “wildlife.”

“When patrolling these state lands, we’ll come across these gay sex stations which basically consist of a single bamboo mat laid down over the dirt and thorns with a

plastic bag for waste and used condoms thrown about,” said Yen. “It’s definitely a public heath risk,” says Yen. Last year, a couple pigmy whales beached themselves on a Kihei beach. DOCARE officer Brooks Tamaye responded to the distress call.

“The whale was getting pounded by the shore break so I entered the ocean to hold her upright to make sure her blowhole was clear,” he said. Before it was transported to the nearby Whale Sanctuary, Tamaye stayed with the whale in the relentless surf for hours, holding the 10-foot whale while making sure onlookers kept their distance.

Then there was the time Stanley Okamoto, the senior member of the DOCARE Enforcement team who often talked to children about how to show proper respect for Maui’s land and artifacts, visited Kihei School.

“I remember when students from Kihei School called me to tell me that an adult had taken them hiking in the lava field of Ahihi Kinau Natural Area Reserve,” he said.

“When they came across a Hawaiian burial, the adult [guiding] them proceeded to take a skull, a plate, a coconut bowl and opihi shell type jewelry.” Thanks to Okamoto’s community outreach, DOCARE retrieved the artifacts and prosecuted the man.

“H

awai’i’s natural resources are in crisis,” said Awo. “Maui is growing rapidly. More people means more growth, more growth means more pollution, the introduction of more alien species into our landscape and more pressure on our natural resources. More visitors as well as residents are tapping into these resources and not necessarily being sensitive or knowledgeable about why they have to conduct themselves in a certain way.”

As one of the fastest growing counties in the state, you’d think Maui’s DOCARE office would get adequate staff to cover their sweeping responsibilities. That’s not the case.

“We market our resources to the entire world and say, ‘Come participate, come interact, go to our ocean, go to our shoreline, use our mountains, use our streams,” said Awo. “We convey all these messages, yet according to a survey conducted by former DLNR chairman Mike Wilson in the early ‘90s, Hawai’i ranked 49th in the nation in spending when it came to resources protection.”

Maui County is unique in that DOCARE officers are responsible for surveying and patrolling four islands. Maui County DOCARE officers must patrol: all fresh water streams, 122,000 acres of state owned government lands, 565 acres of state parks, 167,533 acres of state owned Forest Reserve lands, 26,050 acres of Natural Area Reserves, 28,000 acres in the Kaho’olawe Island Reserve—including its ocean waters and submerged lands extending from shoreline to two miles seaward—and all state-owned marine waters and submerged lands, an area that starts at the shoreline of each island and extends three miles seaward.

As DLNR’s only law enforcement entity, DOCARE officers must know all applicable federal, state and county laws, statutes, rules and ordinances. They must specialize in all categories dealing with the protection of Hawai’i’s marine life, minerals and endangered and threatened species. They also have to know firearms and how to remove marijuana plants from state lands.

As if their workload wasn’t heavy enough, DOCARE officer workloads increased after 9/11. Since DLNR owns and operates Lahaina Harbor, Maui DOCARE is now required to put together a federally mandated security plan for the anchoring of cruise ships and the tendering of their passengers into Lahaina.

The plan calls for the posting of two DOCARE enforcement officers on the dock the entire time a cruise ship is in port. During the peak season, this means that nearly every day, two officers are pulled from the field to stand on the dock. On occasion, two and sometimes even three cruise ships anchor off of Lahaina Harbor. As the cruise ship business continues to increase in Maui County, more officers will be working harbor security instead of protecting our natural resources.

For the past few years, DOCARE has run on a skeleton crew of just six enforcement officers and two supervisors on Maui, one officer and supervisor on Lanai and one officer on Molokai to patrol or cover all this. Needless to say, the branch is stretched thin.

“Ideally, what I need to accomplish our goals in Maui County is to employ 50 enforcement officers plus five more supervisors and five more clerical support staff,” said Awo. Recently, higher-ups lifted a departmental hiring freeze, enabling Awo to hire five more enforcement officers on Maui. While grateful, Awo said he needs more.

“My men are working under dire circumstances,” he said. “We have a good staff here, but we are small and our challenges continue to increase. We need more officers. I don’t think this will happen in my lifetime but it would be nice if it could happen in the lifetime of our children.”

rowing up in Waimanalo on Oahu on Hawaiian Homestead lands, Awo said his Hawaiian upbringing taught him that Hawai’i is sacred and its resources should never be taken for granted. He told me he was deeply influenced by his grandfather and his father, Keoki Awo, an enforcement officer on Oahu who started his 25-year career as a Fish and Game warden before Hawai’i became a state.

Awo vividly remembers his first realization that Hawai’i’s resources were depleting. “As a boy in Waimanalo, the end of the summer season was always marked by the running of the moi li’i (small, juvenile moi),” Awo said. “The sea was so thick with the moi li’i as the school migrated by the blue water appeared black. The fish would bang against our legs and surfboards as we played in the water. As I got older, I started noticing less and less moi li’i. By the time I left Waimanalo in 1980, the moi li’i runs had long since ended.”

Some fishermen say the reason for their decline was the introduction of the ta’apei, a game fish from Tahiti. An invasive predator species, the ta’apei began eating the moi li’i. The moi li’i’s disappearance deeply affected Awo and helped solidify his desire to help save Hawai’i’s dwindling resources.

Awo told me that government has not caught up with the traditional Hawaiian feeling that the ‘aina exists to sustain life. “Unlike the Hawaiians that came before us, we live in a world of modern conveniences,” he said. “We routinely gather our food from the shelves of a grocery rather than the lo’i (taro patch) or directly from the ocean. We live in our homes and get water from a tap rather than a stream or freshwater spring. We have separated ourselves from what’s occurring all around us.

“As a result, people in general don’t realize that Hawai’i’s resources are in crisis, and the crisis is growing,” he continued. “Our ancestors understood that their very existence was connected to the health and well being of the land. It was reflected in their laws, where failure to comply often resulted in death. Today nothing has really changed in that the quality of the food that we eat and the water that we drink are directly related to the quality of our natural environment. Hawai’i is a special and sacred place with finite resources. It must be cared for and protected.”

Awo said he feels fortunate that his men—“good soldiers,” as he called them— embrace this philosophy as whole-heartedly as he does. “Our officers have performed well under difficult and challenging circumstances,” he said. “They are responsible for responding to a wide array of issues occurring 24/7. I am proud of what they have been able to achieve given the limited resources that they have had to work with. We are grateful to the numerous community, cultural and environmental groups that have partnered with the DLNR to make Maui and Hawai’i a better place.

“We all recognize that Hawai’i is under a great deal of environmental stress,” he continued. “There is still unfinished business and much more work that needs to be done.” MTW

It’s a simple layout: walking in, you see tables and booths on the right, a combination bakery counter and full bar on the left.

Scanning the menu, I decided on the Roasted Vegetable sandwich.

“You’re such a closeted vegan,” said Sam. “I am not,” I said.

“Yes you are,” she said.

“I had pepperoni pizza for dinner last night!” I said.

“Yeah, but you’re going vegetarian,” she said. “You write about it all the time. You cover all the vegan lectures…”

“I don’t cover all the lectures,” I said, realizing my protests were getting weaker.

“You cover most of them,” she said.

I was there for lunch, not rigorous introspection, and I dropped the matter. But I still ordered the Roasted Vegetable sandwich.

Usually we hold Maui Time Weekly editorial meetings at the Maui Time Weekly World Headquarters. They’re basically informal affairs, where we talk about what we did the previous night, what we’re doing the upcoming weekend and other stuff like that. Anyway, for reasons that are still a little hazy to me, we decided to hold last week’s meeting away from the office. Far away from the office, actually: Moana Bakery & Café in Paia.

For those of you who’ve never heard of Moana Café, it’s a quaint little place on Baldwin, which I know doesn’t tell you very much because everything in Paia is on Baldwin except for Livewire Café, that new pizza place and that secret nude beach.

It wasn’t what I expected at all. Served open-faced on two squares of fluffy focaccia bread, each half was piled a couple inches high with roasted vegetables. One slice supported a tangle of sprouts, some squash and a few avocado wedges, while the other held more squash, onions and tomatoes.

If placed together, they would have constructed a sandwich well over three inches tall, so I gamely knife and forked it. Like most of the sandwiches, it also came with a small side salad and some delicious potato chunks.

Jen ordered Lamb Wahi wrap, which is just a wrap with lots of tender chunks of lamb and some vegetables thrown in.

“Would you call it lambtastic?” I asked her after the meal.

“Yes, I would call it lambtastic!” she said. “It had sprouts, too, and I hate sprouts. But I ate it all.”

I suspect—but naturally can’t prove—that Sam spent extra time grilling me because she couldn’t decide what to order. Eventually she asked our server about the Seared Ahi wrap.

“That’s my favorite thing in the menu,” said our server. “If you don’t like it, I’ll eat it and you can order something else.”

“I’ll go with that, then,” Sam said, smiling.

As things turned out, our server was profoundly disappointed.

“This is the best thing ever,” Sam said, digging into the wrap of greens and ahi. She then proceeded to eat it all—not voraciously like the way I consumed my meal, but more ladylike.

On our way out, we passed by the bakery.

Sam looked over the many pastries, then sighed.

“They only have cherry strudel,” she said.

“What?” asked Jen. “No apple?!”

It was a hell of a way to end a meeting.

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

by Samantha Campos

Groundation Roots Thursday, 10 p.m., Casanova; Friday, 10 p.m., Waveriders [REGGAE] After weeks of touring Europe and penetrating Brazil for the first time with their jazzy reggae beats, Groundation returns to Maui, bringing with them a fresh, rejuvenated vibe that we’re all aching to break the stagnant air. Having played with bands like Black Uhuru, Israel Vibrations and Zap Mama, not to mention rockin’ countries all over the world, Groundation has no doubt enhanced their well-acknowledged ability to infuse new sounds with true roots reggae. Groundation was founded in 1998 by original band members Marcus Urani, Ryan Newman and Harrison Stafford and later joined by David Cachere (jazz trumpeter), Kelsey Howard (trombone) and Paul Spina (drums), replacing the original drummer, James Stafford, in 2001. Committed to speaking freely through their music to enlighten and inspire on par with their name—a groundation of hierarchy and class—they are taking it a step further by bringing their message to the masses. Their first full-length dub CD, Dub Wars, combines tracks from their two most recent studio albums and an unprecedented unity of renowned reggae artists Apple Gabriel (Israel Vibrations) and Don Carlos (Black Uhuru). So are you ready for some roots? Jah Rastafari! [TALLIA MONTERROSO]

Recognize Zion-I Thursday, 10 p.m. at Paradice Bluz [RAP] This Oakland rap duo has been touted recently as being introspective, integrative and totally in da hook—focusing on bridging the gap between the Bay Area’s variegated underground hip-hop scenes. SF Weekly’s Ross Viator wrote in October that MC Zion’s voice “resides at the intersection of Q-Tip and Eazy E—heavy on the treble, but with just the right amount of rasp.” Also featuring producer Amp Live, Zion-I’s latest political and emotionally charged release, True & Livin’, fuses rap with soul, jazz and blues, and “runs the gamut from saxophone soaked reflections of life in ghetto American, to synthesized, upbeat, socially conscious anthems to acoustic guitar-driven southern blues ballads.” But I’m sure they’re also down with you throwing your hands in the air and waving them like you just don’t care—you know, if that’s your thing.

This Week in Imported DJs: Q-Burns Friday, 10 p.m. at Hapa’s [HOUSE] Q-Burns Abstract Message is a funky house DJ, inspired by the likes of Kool & the Gang, Earth Wind & Fire, and Marvin Gaye. He’s based out of San Francisco (aren’t all DJs?!) and Florida, where he’s been twice awarded “Best DJ of the Year” by the Orlando Weekly. Also, Spin Magazine named him one of the 22 best American electronic artists. He’s spun on tour with The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim and Lo-Fidelity All Stars. And he’s played in Siberia—actually, he was the first U.S. DJ ever to do so. At least, as far as we know.

Food for Thought Monday, 7 p.m. at the Cameron Center Auditorium in Wailuku

This Week in Untapped Reservoirs: DJ Ed V

[FOOD LECTURE] Most of us know that eating is good for our bodies—there aren’t many of us who can go more than two, three weeks without some kind of food—but did you know that what we eat also affects our minds? What we eat affects our sleep, thoughts and feelings. Anyway, Dr. Neil Nedley, a practicing physician who specializes in internal medicine, is something of an authority on the subject. His book on the subject, titled Proof Positive: How to Reliably Combat Disease and Achieve Optimal Health through Nutrition and Lifestyle, is already in its fourth printing. This week, Nedley will give the latest in the Vegetarian Society of Hawai’i’s series of free lectures on the importance of a vegan diet. Something tells me Nedley won’t be telling us that it’s okay to eat a chili cheeseburger right before you go to bed. For more information, call 808-944-8344 or visit www.vsh.org. [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]

DAY

Mondays, 10 p.m., South Shore Tiki Lounge [LOCAL DJ] If you haven’t made it to the Tiki on a Monday night lately, you’re missing out. I went this week and, even though the attendance wasn’t overwhelming, I had so much fun. DJ Ed V spins drum ‘n bass and techno, but he mixes it up with hip-hop and dance music as well as some underground. He had Snoop makin’ me “drop it like it’s hot” to a faster beat and later brought back some of my favorite dance music from the early ‘90’s. It was like a sample of raving back when I was a younger lass.

I was impressed by how many people there danced—and were good at it. As a bonus, most of the boys and girls in the crowd were hot. An untapped reservoir for yummies, if you will. So what are you waiting for?

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY COLE@MAUITIME.COM

Centaurs, Minotaurs and Fauns C.S. Lewis’ weighty children’s fable makes the grade

Behold! What creatures lurk in your closet?!

C.S. Lewis’ classic work of children’s literature is brought to exuberant life with enticing visuals and bright performances under the guidance of director/co-screenwriter Andrew Adamson (Shrek) and a large group of highly skilled animators, production designers and crew. Four young British siblings, living under the duress of WWII, take refuge in the country mansion of a kindly professor (Jim Broadbent) where they discover a passage to a fantastical wintry land via an old wardrobe.

The children learn important lessons regarding betrayal, leadership and overcoming fear from a mystical ruler lion named Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson) as they are plunged into a war against Jadis, the White Witch (Tilda Swinton). The movie features a cornucopia of talking creatures including centaurs, minotaurs and fauns that do battle in the film’s surprisingly violent climax to liberate Narnia from Jadis’ wintry curse.

The filmmakers succeed in capturing the essence of Lewis’ fantastical work by keeping the film’s focus on the underdeveloped personalities of the children among painterly visual diversions that gradually become more prevalent.

Andrew Adamson employs visual economy to the piece even with its wildly incredible elements of icy landscape and strange creatures.

The youngest member of the family, Lucy (Georgie Henley), is the first to dis-

cover the hidden magical land when she alone makes her way through a passageway of heavy furs inside of a giant wardrobe to set foot on the snowy ground of Narnia. A cozy streetlight marks the outside of the passageway where Lucy meets an odd Pan-like creature named Mr. Tumnus (James McAvoy).

Mr. Tumnus calls himself a faun even if his thick cloven-hoofed legs resemble those of a goat more than they do that of a deer. Lucy accepts an invitation for a cup of tea in Tumnus’ lair where he attempts to kidnap her in favor of his forced allegiance to the White Witch.

Nonetheless, Lucy escapes back through the wardrobe to the safety of her siblings albeit without them believing her tale of brief adventure. The potentially frightening story wins the trust of young viewers by gradually allowing its young characters to test the waters of Narnia in a back and forth process that shows it to be a place that they can exit from at will.

The success of the movie rests on the casting of four young actors who work convincingly well as independent thinkers connected by their bloodline. A significant aspect of the story concerns Edmund’s naïve association with the witch Jadis in return for a few pieces of Turkish Delight. Edmund (Skandar Keynes) is the second member of the Pevensie family to visit Narnia, and he falls for the intimidating charms of Tilda Swinton’s deathly sinister incarnation as the White Witch. So much so that when Edmund returns to the cold land with his siblings, he soon deserts them in favor of the promise of enjoying more Turkish Delight in the company of the evil Queen.

Narnia is a feast of visual delights, but it is also an instructive story about wartime dilemmas. It’s a substantial element that makes the source material timeless. MTW

The Johnny Cash of Kirtan The spiritual transformation of Krishna Das He is the rockstar of devotional chant.

But Krishna Das would vehemently denounce that proclamation, saying instead that his best-selling albums of westernized, traditional Hindu devotional music and packed concerts are not for entertainment’s sake but are simply forums for his own spiritual meditations— to be “in the presence of” his guru, Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaj-ji).

“My performances,” said Das in a July 2005 article by Don Heckman in the Los Angeles Times, “are a way of clearing out the dark places in my heart.”

But it’s this element of darkness—this redemptive yearning—that makes Das so appealing. It’s an appeal that I find has parallels to the late, great Johnny Cash.

Like Cash, Das has a somber, mesmerizing voice that is undeniably strong yet belies a certain profound sense of longing

Krishna Das & Friends Tuesday, 7 p.m. at the Castle Theater, MACC. Tickets: $25. Call 242-7469. or connection. Both Cash and Das seem to be singing directly to God, through sin and salvation, in an effort to quiet the demons inside. Both come from turbulent pasts, filled with drug and alcohol addictions, which only serves to make the salvation more authentic, the devotion more powerful.

“It blows my mind, first of all, that there really is a ‘spiritual path,’” said Das in his documentary, One Life at a Time. “And then it blows my mind even more that I might be on it.”

In the early 1970’s, Krishna Das (then Jeffrey Kagel) was one of many Westerners who latched onto the wave of Eastern philosophies made popular by Ram Dass and his pivotal book, Be Here Now. It was after conversations with Dass that Das decided to make his own venture to India in a quest to “open and purify” his heart.

It was there that Das studied Bhakti Yoga and Buddhist meditation practices with Maharaj-ji, who was thought to be the embodiment of Hanuman, the Monkey God. Das went deep into the practice of kirtan, or the fluid chanting of the names of God. But after three years, Maharaj-ji told Das to go back to America.

At that time, Das wasn’t ready to go back. He was fearful and still didn’t know

The dark and light of KD what purpose, if any, he had in America. But he went, and fell into a spiral of depression, drugs and alcohol, which didn’t let up for several years, even preventing a return trip to India when Maharaj-ji beckoned for him.

By the time Das made it back to India several after his guru’s death, he was still in a deep depression. But something profound happened when he visited the temple where Maharaj-ji used to reside. That’s when Das says he “got the hit,” when every moment of his life flashed before his eyes—every emotion he ever had and the reasons for his actions—as well as the knowledge that Maharaj-ji was there with him every step of the way. It was a moment that would change his life forever.

He decided he would sing to his guru. The result has been prolific. Das has now worked with rap/rock producer Rick Rubin, Steely Dan producer Walter Becker, Aerosmith producer Jay Messsina and Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen, Madonna and Sting. His Kosmic Kirtan Posse—his satsang singers— has featured Mike D of the Beastie Boys. Not that Das cares about any of that.

By the way, Rick Rubin also produced Johnny Cash’s four American Recordings albums. MTW

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 20) Your strong desire to build something this week is hot to the touch. We all want to know what it is but being secretive only builds our curiosity. The new tools and prepped organization will bring a glorious and unexpected turn in your life right now. As soon as you get started, the fun begins. What are you waiting for?

PISCES (FEBRUARY 20-MARCH 20) Traveling again will tickle the back of the mind this week but you might already be on the plane. Going to the airport to pick up your friends is quite the excitement. Now that the whole party is here, get ready for the time of your life! Pay attention to the colors and medley of magic that bounces from love frequency to island vibrations. Get out on the dance floor and let your fishes free; the party doesn’t start until the music gets hot and you got the tunes.

Jason Meyer 573-1920

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21) Well, it’s up to you if you really want to go over the top this year in Christmas decorations, and why not? Sometimes the price is worth the effect of all those beautiful lights that truly bring a comforting aura. Of course, some people don’t like the holidays but there’s a reason for everything. Now is a great time to let the good vibes shine the brightest.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21-FEBRUARY 19) Yes, life is unpredictable but you know you love it. Trying out new places this week will be a fun adventure but don’t worry if you can’t find someone to go with you. Have fun meeting new people and shine like the star of the show that you truly are. Words chosen wisely, listening to the mind, thinking before speaking—all key symbols in life are ready for your use. Think as big as the mind can imagine.

“we do all the work . . . so you can enjoy your yard”

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) The struggle within can easily be overcome with simplicity and relaxation during this time of enlightenment. Being the self, the soul, simplifying by choosing not to engage— strange as it seems—will bring a cool enterprise. When Aries decides to lay off the throttle a little bit, good things happen. Now, this doesn’t mean laziness. There is no time for that! Stay on your path and do your studies. A Sagittarius brings good news.

Enthusiastic

Hiring!

Highestand Standards

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) All that hard work and still no surplus? Well, it just goes to show how brilliant simplicity is, as long as the bills are paid. The rush and adrenaline of jumping out of the plane flips all the senses into excitement and absorption of falling. Close your eyes, feel it, leap from the aircraft and let all those thoughts of “not enough” fall like rain, snow or lightning.

PassionHospitality for Freshness Director

Ideal candidate must have good communication and computer skills, including proficiency in Microsoft Office. Responsibilities include: managing the greater team; placing sales calls to concierge desks and local business community; coordinating special events such as wedding receptions and banquets; and participation in hospitality training with the front of the house staff. $15.00/hr.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21) You know the feeling of curiosity? This week make a list of things in your life that still have questions unanswered. Some solutions are easily Googled but others can be a bit trickier. Having a meeting this week with the team will bring out of the woodwork the missing details necessary for five stars versus three.

Servers

CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 21) “Every day is a winding road. I get a little bit closer” (Sheryl Crow). Are you holding back emotions and beliefs that would help you overcome the conflict within yourself?

Fear will only slow you down and stretch that finish line of relief and better understanding of the truth even further. Time to open those wings and discover the essential truth you aren’t listening to. You can do it, baby!

Must have a minimum of five years experience with good knowledge of food and wine service.

Host Persons

Must have good hospitality and communication skills, starting at $10.00/hr.

LEO (JULY 22-AUGUST 21) Compare and contrast. Is the bass too high? Is the treble too low? Take the time this week to dial in a few details that will truly benefit everyone’s enjoyment. At work, showing up a bit early will bring in a new influence that is amazingly golden. A Scorpio has a favor to ask.

Pastry Chef

Minimum of three years hands-on experience.

VIRGO (AUGUST 22-SEPTEMBER 22) Fresh green apples, delicious bright orange papayas, tasty ripe cold mangoes—and the list goes on. Are you eating these wonderful fruits every day? Diet is so essential to humans; you truly are what you eat so make a solid mental note for a strong supply of the good stuff. You know where to go, you know, to get back down to earth and eat foods with mana. And you’ll feel so much better. A Gemini brings a pleasant surprise.

Cook 1

Minimum of four years experience in the culinary field.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 22) A little to the left, a little to the right—yoga and the power of alignment. When was the last time you hit up Casanova’s on Ladies’ Night? Dancing and sweating, feeling the rhythm and the beat that keeps the feet and heart happy. Wednesday night takes off at about 11:30, but the energy you feel from the celebration keeps you from any tired vibe the next day.

Applications accepted at 744 Front Street in the Lahaina Store building first floor office from 9:00 am through 5:00 pm Monday through Friday or email dhanley@lahainastoregrille.com

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23-NOVEMBER 21) Underneath the bridge, rocks and water, fish and frogs, is a sound so soothing, it brings peace to the soul. Take it easy this week by going for a walk along the ocean or the banks of the river in the Iao. The weather is sweet for December. Yes, Christmas season is here but the rush can be easily avoided—if you’re done with your shopping, that is! Look for a Taurus or a Cancer for new inspiration.

HOLOHOLOGIRL

The Talk of the Town

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS SAM@MAUITIME.COM

DEPT. OF ART PARTIES Last Friday marked possibly the first time old Paia Train Station had seen so much aesthetically pleasing action since 1948. The cause for such a grandiose celebration was the surprise opening of “Masters of Art”—an art gallery and complex featuring the hugely popular sports artist Ray Masters in the largest building. Masters did all the building’s reconstructive work himself, painting the walls and displaying his magnificently lit, vibrant and lively acrylic art alongside Tom Faught’s funky metal sculptures and Piero Resta’s sensual wood carvings. In separate but adjacent cottages, Rik Fitch showcased his oil paintings, colorful hand-woven cloths and stone jewelry at Chai Yo! and the Von Heldenberg gallery displayed a horseshoe-shaped glass case of fine jewelry.

About 100 young, posh and impossibly beautiful people mingled—the trust fund elite and international surf crowd of Maui’s North Shore. Handsome, tan, athletic men in snug Tshirts and baggy jeans chatted with gorgeous girls in glamorous regalia: cocktail dresses, full-length sparkling or silky gowns, skin exposed in glorious display of golden perfection.

The most appropriate hair—for both male and female alike—was sun-streaked, layered and perfectly mussed.

In a smaller cluster of friends, a well-known Italian artist spoke of his recent six-week trip to Europe. A world music deejay concurred with his tales of endless meals cooked with fresh herbs from the garden of the villa where he was staying. An attractive blonde laughingly told of leaking olive oil bottles stashed in her airplane’s overhead compartment. Promises were made amongst the group to share recently acquired Grappa at night’s end. The artist continued talk of an intimate party he’s planning at his estate, replete with pasta dinner, dancing and 150 of his closest friends.

A stunning photographer with an unrecognizable accent and short, spiky hair talked of the merits of having a hangover as opposed to not and wondered aloud what sort of concoction she was drinking; brushing off any potential responses, she cheered her table of acquaintances. Someone quoted W.C. Fields: “Say anything that you like about me except that I drink water.” Meanwhile, inside the Masters gallery, excitement erupted as—supposedly—a gaggle of gowned girls took to giddily exposing their glamorously covered tatas. Almost immediately, camera flashes exploded like the reflected lights off a disco ball.

A local entrepreneur floated easily from group to group, talking of island-wide redevelopment and Burning Man philosophies. Masters began ushering folks to the front of the newly painted old Paia Train Depot for a Hawaiian blessing. Videographers and photographers crowded the priestess in chant and Masters looked on with teary-eyed glee. At the end of the ceremony, a young girl shouted appreciation and thanks to Masters, to which the crowd reacted with deafening applause. Masters waved them down to near silence and gave a small speech.

“This is not my house,” he said. “It’s our house.”

Outside the gallery in the back area, word soon spread of carrying the party on to Jacques, where Masters would also be deejaying. People scurried, rides were confirmed and the last of the crowd made scattered conversation with lingerers. A trio of young, pretty blondes—English schoolteachers and a counselor— made light conversation with a local nightlife columnist.

A smallish black dog—bedecked in red nylon collar and silver tag—made its way through the crowd, wagging its tail excitedly and possibly searching for its owner. Or perhaps the last bit of brie on cracker.
