Bad Week For Literature, Civil Unions HYPER LOCAL Alexander & Baldwin offered some short-term security to its sugar employees last week, while simultaneously lobbing the latest grenade in the Maui water wars. In a January 29 release, the company announced that subsidiary Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar will continue operations through 2010, but that future plans are “subject to a favorable outcome in the water cases pending before the State Commission on Water Resource Management…” The release goes on to tout HC&S’s “renewable energy” contribution via the burning of sugar cane remnants. Of course, as former MauiTime columnist Rob Parsons was fond of pointing out, even when sugar is being harvested, the company still burns coal as well as cane bagasse, and when harvesting goes on hiatus, it’s just coal. Makes General Manager Chris Benjamin’s statement that HC&S wants to put “greater emphasis on the production of energy” less than reassuring…. Got word from Ramoda Anand of Maui Dance Advocates that a bill—HB2818—has been introduced on the group’s behalf calling on “each county liquor commission [to] adopt or amend rules regarding the expression or conduct of patrons in premises licensed to sell liquor for consumption thereon… [and to] include a definition of the term ‘dancing.’” For those who haven’t followed the story in LC Watch, MDA—which is two guys, the wheelchair-bound Anand and Anthony Simmons, and their pro-bono attorney, Lance Collins—has been trying to get the Liquor Commission to clarify its ambiguous, Footloose-esque dancing rules for years. They went before the Commission and were denied, then tried the court, twice, and were denied. I have a suspicion the legislature may prove equally

unresponsive, but it’s impossible not to admire MDA’s tenacity….

LOCAL Now that the House and Senate have taken turns passing and killing different versions of the civil union bill, one thing is clear: the state Capitol is running a severe courage deficit. The House’s move last week—tabling the bill without a roll call vote—punctuated the legislative cowardice that has defined this debate from the beginning. Speaker Calvin Say is leaning on the supposed lack of a vetoproof majority, but that rings hollow since Gov. Lingle hasn’t made her intentions public. Sure, given her party’s position, exemplified by Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona, a veto was a distinct possibility, but why not force the issue? Because it’s an election year, that’s why, and the careers of a few asscovering lawmakers trumped civil rights. Again…. The fight goes on: In the wake of the civil union non-vote, Lambda Legal and the Hawaii ACLU announced plans to sue the state. “Enough is enough,” said Lambda Legal rep Jennifer Pizer in a statement. “Infinite patience in the face of discrimination is irresponsible. Our clients suffer every day from unfair taxes and denial of basic legal protections… Although same-sex couples can’t hope today for the full equality of marriage, Hawaii’s constitution still guarantees equal rights and responsibilities to everyone, gay and heterosexual alike.” Add the headlinegrabbing challenge to California’s Proposition 8 and this is shaping up to be the gay rights movement’s year in court…. For a guy who isn’t officially running for Governor, Mufi Hannemann has raised a lot of dough: $2.3 million through the end of 2009, according to a report filed this week with the state Campaign

Spending Commission. That’s $1 million more than his Democratic rival, Rep. Neil Abercrombie, and slightly more than the $2.2 million raised by Aiona. Abercrombie is lagging, in part, because he was prevented from transferring money from his Congressional campaign coffer. In a February 1 release, the Abercrombie campaign said it’s asking contributors to “redesignate” their donations to his Gubernatorial effort. Of course, fundraising isn’t everything; as previously noted in this space, if the Honolulu rail project stalls, no amount of money will dig Hannemann out of that public-relations hole….

Last week, the world lost two literary icons: people’s historian Howard Zinn and reclusive angst-master J.D. Salinger. But take heart—the writing world is in good hands. As first reported by ABC News, Sarah Palin’s ghostwriter’s book, Going Rogue, was a popular title at Sarah PAC, the political action committee headed up by guess who, which spent $63,000 on copies to be used for “fundraising donor fulfillment.” So Palin is taking money from donors ostensibly to forward the Tea Party/FOX News/frothing fauxpopulist agenda, using it to buy her own book and giving the book to donors (autographed!). Sounds sketchy, but apparently it isn’t illegal because Palin isn’t running for office. If you think about it, there’s really no victim here: people gave cash to Sarah Palin, and they got what they paid for. ■

Re the January 28 Mind, Body, Spirit issue: Anu Yagi’s article about the “healing touch” expresses some of the widespread misconceptions and delusions about this bizarre practice. It has been studied extensively and the results show that: 1) the practitioners cannot detect energy fields as they claim; in fact, they cannot determine whether their hands are above a live person or a corpse; 2) the recipient of the non-touch cannot tell whether the “healer’s” hands are above her body, or what part of her body they are above, without looking. The fact that Kaiser allows such practices in the clinic and hospital proves nothing. They also allow praying, chanting, astrological readings, voodoo rituals, I Ching divinations, and anything else that doesn’t harm anyone or disturb other patients. The travesty of nonhealing non-touch is that it has its origins in AIDS phobia. It started in the 1980s as a substitute for real massage when nurses were afraid to touch AIDS patients lest they contract the disease. Now that we know better we should return to the real thing. Actual human touch is far more therapeutic than this farce.

Kurt Butler, via e-mail

detection is a key factor and it’s important to raise awareness about that. What the article didn’t mention, however, is how important prevention is, and how toxins in our environment are contributing to the disease. How wonderful would it be to no longer need a cure, to no longer need to worry about exposing your breast to radiation in order to detect the disease? Also mentioned in the article was the fact that in the U.S. a woman’s lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is 1 in 8, but another important fact is that no more than 1 in 10 women with breast cancer has a genetic history of the disease. Scientific evidence links toxic chemicals and radiation in our everyday environment to the high rates of breast cancer. An estimated 80,000 chemicals have been registered for use in the U.S. in the last 40 years, but fewer than 10 percent of them have been fully tested for their effects on human health. We must work to reduce exposures by educating ourselves, taking individual actions, demanding corporate accountability and crafting good public policies. At a time when virtually every American has been touched by breast cancer, we are long past the need for awareness. Only through a commitment to primary prevention will we reach a time when fewer people are diagnosed with breast cancer.

ehbrah@mauitime.com I was surfing with a friend and several others at Ukumehame Beach, enjoying a rare out-of-season south swell in the fresh air and sunshine. That is until you showed up right in the break in your motorboat (white hull with turquoise tarp in the rear) and idled your engine for what seemed like an eternity. I asked you to move away as the noise of the motor was disturbing and the diesel fumes were asphyxiating everyone. (My friend started feeling ill and had to stop surfing because of the fumes.) Instead of moving, you insulted me and stated that you had been there for three days and no one else had complained. You told me to “shut up” and other unmentionable comments. Thanks for spoiling an otherwise spectacular day. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/ehbrah30

Marie DeJournette, via e-mail Ed. Note: Anu is unavailable to respond since she is currently undergoing real treatment for her real leukemia, but I’ll say this in her stead: Nowhere in her article does she—or anyone else—suggest that the healing touch is a substitute for anything. During the hospital stay Anu describes she was of course under the care of physicians and nurses. You say yourself that Kaiser allows these practices because they don’t “harm anyone or disturb other patients.” Anu says she was skeptical when the service was offered but that she did feel something and that her headache was relieved. She doesn’t claim this was a miracle or that people should forgo traditional medical assistance, only that it helped her in a small but meaningful way. Knowing Anu, I take her at her word. I was happy to see the article “Breast Intentions” in last week’s issue. Early

TRAGIC GOVERNMENT IRONIES (1) Copenhagen, one of the “greenest� cities in the world, endured an added 41,000 extra tons of carbon-dioxide-equivalent in December during the 11-day climate summit. The 15,000 delegates required 2,000 limousines (only five of which were electric or hybrid) to get around town, and the world leaders arrived and departed in 140 private jets, some of which had to be parked overnight in Sweden because of airport congestion. (2) In December, Obama Administration officials, seeking to fulfill a campaign pledge of a more open federal government, held a multiagency training session in Washington, D.C., on the Freedom of Information Act. The meeting was closed to the public.

A NEW GIGOLO Being the first licensed male prostitute in Nevada (and thus the U.S.), explained “Markus� in a January interview for Details magazine, is to him “a civil rights thing.� “It’s just the same as when Rosa Parks decided to sit at the front [of the bus] instead of the back.�

NICE TRY, MOM In Kansas City, Mo., in December, the mother of Charles Irving tried to protect her 27-year-old son from a charge of being a felon in possession of a gun. She told police (without success) that he needed the gun to protect her from vampires.

PERVERTED COPS, PART I In November, Powhatan County, Va., prosecutors dismissed charges against five corrections officers despite evidence that they were involved in inappropriately fondling a K-9 service dog. During training, officers are expected to “bond� with their dogs, and one of the men was seen “touching the dog’s penis with his hand,� according to a prosecutor. However, Virginia law requires that the state prove “cruelty� to the dog, and the prosecutor, after consulting with veterinarians, concluded that he could not win the case.

PERVERTED COPS, PART II

Russell Vanderwerf, 44, an agent of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, was arrested in Metairie, La., in December and charged with damaging property while staying at the Residence Inn hotel. According to police, Vanderwerf had removed the bedroom door to his suite and in its place installed a plywood plank which contained a hole at about pelvis level that had been rimmed in duct tape and which the arresting deputy said appeared to be used “in some sort of sexual act.� Another guest told police that numerous young men had been entering and exiting Vanderwerf’s room.

REDNECK CRIME (1) In Morehead, Ky., in December, two men, ages 44 and 18, were charged with theft for allegedly swiping an 18-inchlong bearded dragon lizard from the Eagles Landing Pet Hospital and trying, in two beverage stores, to exchange it for liquor. (2) Daniel Gable, 61, was arrested for breaking and entering a neighbor’s apartment in Fargo, N.D., in December. He had triggered the resident’s “burglar alarm,� which consisted of the stack of empty beer cans the resident places just inside his front door every night.

POLITICAL MOVEMENTS President Obama’s figurine was expected to lead in sales for the second straight year in the traditional “caganerâ€? craft industry in Spain’s Catalonia region. As News of the Weird reported in 2008, the popular statuettes are typically modeled on politicians and famous people, each with pants down, squatting to answer a call of nature. They are ubiquitous in Nativity scenes, playfully hidden to encourage children’s Where’s Waldo-type guessing, and believed to symbolize “equalityâ€? through the universality of bodily functions. Another figurine expected to do well this season is the brand-new Queen Elizabeth. â– To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/ďŹ lm12

State of the Union The good, the bad and the ugly…

L

ast week, President Obama delivered his first State of the Union Address. Here’s a look at what he said, and what it meant.

THE GOOD “From the day I took office, I’ve been told that addressing our larger challenges is too ambitious; such an effort would be too contentious. I’ve been told that our political system is too gridlocked, and that we should just put things on hold for a while. For those who make these claims, I have one simple question: How long should we wait? How long should America put its future on hold?” Obama inherited arguably the most daunting set of problems of any President in history. You can fault him for the way he’s tackled them (or not tackled them), but it’s tough to blame him for refusing to prioritize some over others, especially when many of them—the wars, the economy, our dependence on foreign oil, global climate change—are inextricably linked. Speaking of those problems he inherited… “At the beginning of the last decade, the year 2000, America had a budget surplus of over $200 billion. By the time I took office, we had a one-year deficit of over $1 trillion and projected deficits of $8 trillion over the next decade. Most of this was the result of not paying for two wars, two tax cuts and an expensive prescription drug program. On top of that, the effects of the recession put a $3 trillion hole in our budget. All this was before I walked in the door.” Some have accused Obama of using Bush as a scapegoat to distract from his Administration’s failings (astute lip-readers caught Senator John McCain telling his colleagues, “I’m not Bush…are you Bush?” during this portion of the speech). But to know where we are and where we’re headed, we have to remember where we’ve been. It may seem like the very partisanship Obama denounced, but Republicans who rubberstamped Bush’s brazen fiscal irresponsibility and are now blasting Obama’s spending must be called on their hypocrisy. “To Democrats, I would remind you that we still have the largest majority in decades, and the people expect us to solve problems, not run for the hills. And if the Republican leadership is going to insist that 60 votes in the Senate are required to do any business at all in this town…then the

responsibility to govern is now yours as well. Just saying no to everything may be good short-term politics, but it’s not leadership.” This was the high point of the speech, and one that surely made all the legislators in attendance (whether they’d spent the evening clapping their hands or sitting on them) uncomfortable. Obama’s stabs at bipartisanship have mostly fallen flat, and it’s time for him to get tough—on Republicans, sure, but also on his own fickle, fragmented party.

THE BAD “We need more production, more efficiency, more incentives. And that means building a new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants in this country. It means making tough decisions about opening new offshore areas for oil and gas development. It means continued investment in advanced biofuels and clean coal technologies.” Tossing the GOP a bone is understandable, but this wasn’t the spot. Nuclear power, “clean” coal and offshore drilling are the three top items on Big Oil’s wish list. By giving them a prominent place in his remarks, Obama revealed the yawning gap between the hopes the environmental community placed on him and the reality of his policies and priorities. “I know there have been questions about whether we can afford such changes in a tough economy. I know that there are those who disagree with the overwhelming scientific evidence on climate change. But here’s the thing—even if you doubt the evidence, providing incentives for energyefficiency and clean energy are the right thing to do for our future.” It’s a valid point. But the time for cajoling and placating climate change-deniers is over. The smattering of boos that greeted the line weren’t enough: Obama should have publicly shamed members of Congress— like Senator James Inhofe—who insist on burying their heads in the sand, and pulling the rest of us down with them. “We face a deficit of trust—deep and corrosive doubts about how Washington works that have been growing for years. To close that credibility gap we have to take action on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue—to end the outsized influence of lobbyists…That’s why we’ve excluded lobbyists from

policymaking jobs, or seats on federal boards and commissions.” The rhetoric doesn’t match reality: Before his Presidency was even a month old, Obama nominated William J. Lynn III, a lobbyist for major defense contractor Raytheon Inc., as his Deputy Secretary of Defense. And numerous other influencepeddlers—including Mark Patterson, a former lobbyist for Goldman Sachs and now chief of staff for Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner—have been welcomed into the Obama Administration, provided they recuse themselves from any issue that presents a potential conflict of interest. Sounds like a palatable compromise. But according to bi-partisan fact-checker PolitiFact,org, how often these recusals take place and what, if any, documentation accompanies them is unclear, because “the White House has said little about the policy.” “We are responsibly leaving Iraq to its people. As a candidate, I promised that I would end this war, and that is what I am doing as President. We will have all of our combat troops out of Iraq by the end of this August.” Obama has started to withdraw troops from Iraq, but what he doesn’t mention is that thousands of “private security contractors” will remain indefinitely. That means even as we escalate the occupation of Afghanistan, the occupation of Iraq will continue, with less transparency and accountability.

THE UGLY “If there’s one thing that has unified Democrats and Republicans, and everybody ody in between, it it’s s that we all hated the he bank bailout…” An easy, aisle-spanning applause line. But considering ng the number of former banking industry ghts heavyweights d in his embedded ration, it Administration, genuous was disingenuous The sundry at best. (The ons between connections big bankss and the Obama White House are, sadly, too extensive to list here; re; for a thorough—and h—and thoroughly hly depressing— ng— rundown, n, see Matt Taibbi’s December Rolling Stone tonee piece,

“Obama’s Big Sellout.”) Obama may have “hated” the bailouts in the sense that they didn’t look good to the taxpayers who’d just put him in office, but they certainly weren’t hated by those in his inner circle who had just been—or, in some cases, were still—on the payrolls of Citigroup, Goldman Sachs et al. Which brings us to… “I am not interested in punishing banks. I’m interested in protecting our economy…that can only happen if we guard against the same recklessness that nearly brought down our entire economy.” And how, pray tell, will we guard against that recklessness? By handing banks massive, publicly funded bailouts crafted by current and former Wall Street insiders, looking the other way when they start giving their top executives huge bonuses and then promising not to punish them? “We have gone from a bystander to a leader in the fight against climate change.” Simply admitting climate change is real isn’t enough. To be a “leader” in the fight, the U.S. needed to arrive at the Copenhagen summit late last year with a robust, binding policy in place, so that we could pressure the rest of the developed world to follow suit and show the poor nations suffering climate change’s worst effects that we’re serious about addressing the issue. Instead, Washington couldn’t even enact a watereddown cap-and-trade system and the summit devolved into a farce, with world leaders flying off in their carbon-spewing jets, having gotten no closer to the drastic CO2 reductions scientists say are needed. Climate change isn’t all America’s fault, but we have been the world’s biggest greenhouse gasemitter and we have the clout and political capital to set a strong example. The opportunity for the leadership Obama spoke of is there; whether we’ll seize it is another matter. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/stateofunion1

Breaks Heart ers

pist Jane Rob

Surf-philanthro

“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.” - Thomas Campbell

F

or 20 years, Jane Roberson has been keeping her son’s memory alive, not only in the hearts of the surfers he left behind, but also in the waves they ride. On January 16, Roberson oversaw the 20th Annual Ho’okipa Surf Classic. The contest began in 1990 as a way to commemorate Justin Roberson, a gifted professional surfer on the World Qualifying Series (WQS) who died in a tragic alcoholrelated traffic accident at the age of 19. “Most everything I’ve done since then is in memory of my son,” explains Roberson. “For as long as I can remember, Justin was a waterman. Once, when he was four years old, he did not have a board with him at Lahaina Harbor, so he dragged a log off the beach and knee paddled it out to catch waves. People in the line-up noticed and started making boards for him.” Roberson cracks a pensive smile at the memory. Justin would take those surfboards to new heights. Along with friend and fellow competitor Christian Fletcher, Roberson was instrumental in the aerial surfing movement born out of the late 1980s. His progressive style gave him a competitive edge that won him corporate sponsorships from Quicksilver, Gerry Lopez and Da Kine. But in the worst close-out imaginable, fate came crashing down on Roberson during his first year on the WQS, ending his dreams of becoming the first Maui boy on the World Championship Tour (a title taken by Lahaina’s Dusty Payne in December). It’s said that bad things come in threes: 10 years after Justin’s death, the island’s surfing ‘ohana lost another of its own, with the untimely death of 18-year-old Eric Diaz. And in 2004, legendary aerial

master Steve Cooney was killed in a singlevehicle accident at the age of 30. “All three of these boys died too young by making poor choices,” explains Roberson. “They took chances with their lives and lost it all. But I am dedicated to keeping their memory alive. And the best way for me to do that is by taking care of the beach park they loved.”

I

n 2000, Roberson’s kuleana led her to become executive officer of the Surfrider Foundation, Maui Chapter, where she has donated countless hours to protect and preserve surf spots throughout the island. In 2003, Maui was the first chapter in the state to implement the Blue Water Task Force, the Surfrider Foundation’s water-quality monitoring, education and advocacy program. In the same year, Roberson removed a landfill at the entrance to Ho’okipa Beach Park and used the space for a student native Hawaiian plant restoration project. Roberson’s plant projects at Ho’okipa have won several awards, including the 2007 International Society of Arboriculture Award for Outstanding Landscape of a Public Space, the 2008 Scenic Hawaii Award for Outstanding Landscape Activities and runner-up to the Pacific Whale Foundation for MauiTime’s 2009 Best Environmental Non-Profit. “The Surfrider Foundation has been an exemplary partner in the establishment and care of native vegetation,” says Maui County Parks and Recreation Director Tamara Horcajo. “Many groups offer to plant trees or plants in our public park areas, which is appreciated. However, the ongoing upkeep and maintenance of these

plants is difficult for our minimal park maintenance staff.” Roberson was the philanthropic voice of the surfing community when the Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) was trying to expand Maalaea Small Boat Harbor, which would have interfered with Maui’s famous “Freight Train,” the fickle behemoth of a barrel that pile-drives onto the shallow reef at Maalaea Harbor. The spot is known by surfers as “the world’s fastest wave.” ACE sought to improve the harbor’s entrance navigation and decrease surge by building a break-wall that extended 620 feet into Maalaea’s primary swell direction, threatening the wave and 11 acres of its precious coral. With a grant written by Roberson from the Ford Foundation, Surfrider hired a marine consulting firm to review the project’s Environmental Impact Statement. The results of the firm’s study contradicted ACE’s claim that the breakwall would significantly decrease surge. The Corps went back to the drawing board and the Freight Train chugs on—for now. “As recently as March 2009, Ms. Roberson brought together approximately 30 representatives of the Maalaea community to openly share their concerns, issues and considerations on Maalaea with the Corps,” explains ACE biologist and project manager Cindy Barger. “Sharing information in this format with the Corps has allowed us to better understand the community and create a more collaborative process during the development of the reevaluation report.”

oberson’s tireless efforts continue to have an immeasurably positive impact on the ‘aina. But like any strong leader, Roberson has run into her share of criticism. She is strong-minded, determined and ran Surfrider according to her singular vision. At the end of 2009, she stepped aside as the chapter’s executive officer.

waves

By Beau Ewan

In the view of Stuart Coleman, Hawaii Coordinator for the Surfrider Foundation, Roberson “realized that the capter needed to move in a new direction.” But, he adds, “she is now working with a younger generation of leaders focusing on a wider range of issues.” “I ran it to the best of my ability when nobody else wanted to step up as executive officer,” says Roberson, who is consulting with the new board in an ex-officio capacity. Roberson’s plans also include starting a new non-profit, The Friends of Ho’okipa, which will oversee the fundraising and maintenance of the native plant restoration project. The 20th anniversary of the Ho’okipa Surf Classic marked the event’s final year. Roberson is ending the contest, hoping to spend more time with her four young grandsons: Justin, Eric and Steve (named in memory of the three lost surfers) and Rider Maka’i whose name roughly translates to surf rider. But so much for the tragic rule of three: in 2007, celebrated Maui artist and surfer Ron Cassidy died while surfing Mexico’s Puerto Escondido. Hauntingly, Cassidy once produced a painting of Justin Roberson. To most surfers, the only thing more hallowed than the waves we ride is our relationships with the people we love. Jane Roberson says she can’t have one without the other. “I guess I’m still a protective mother of sorts,” she says. “Doing my best to save these waves is how I continue to care for my son, and also remember the other surfers that Maui lost too soon.” ■

Five For Five Five place to eat in Central Maui for $5 (and change)

Oyaku Tei 180 East Wakea Ave., Kahului 873-0100 Cheeseburger deluxe, $2.65 Oyaku Tei is a little hole-in-the-wall oldschool okazuya. They serve breakfast and lunch and their misoyaki butterfish is excellent. Everything’s reasonably priced, but if you only have a few bucks in your pocket, the Maui Cattle Company Cheeseburger deluxe is the way to go. The handmade beef patty comes loaded with melted cheese, crisp lettuce, nice ripe tomato and a thick slice of onion. Simple and delicious. The dining room is cozy—just a few plastic tables and chairs. I usually drop in and order to-go, but they informed me they deliver to anywhere in Kahului and Wailuku. Even better!

Stillwell’s Bakery 1740 Kaahumanu Ave., Wailuku 243-2243 Quiche and roll, $5.95

This quiche is off the hook. The first time I tried it was at Hawaiian Village Coffee and I begged the proprietor to tell me where he was getting it. Then I went straight to the source. The roll it comes with is also a real treat, white cottage bread with macadamia nuts. The filling has ham, onion and bell pepper, and the texture is so smooth, it’s more like a custard. Stillwell’s also has a side soup and roll for $4.95. Their soup changes daily but they’re all good; the office favorite is the hearty corn chowder. Of course you’ll also probably be tempted by their island famous banana cream pie or cream horns, so you might want more than five bucks in your pocket before entering.

TJ’s Warehouse 875 Alua St., Wailuku 249-0825 Combo bento, $5.75 TJ’s Warehouse is a modern-day okazu-ya wonderland. Not only do they provide prepackaged bento goodness to the lucky folks who know where to find them, but they also have a line of daily hot food specials in case you want to pack your own. There’s plenty to choose from in the $5 range—try unagi, udon, combos, mochiko chicken, gyoza and more. They also do specials from time to time, like last week’s teriyaki chicken bento and fountain drink for $4.99, so keep

Royal Island Drive Inn

your eye out for the sign on the wall. They also feature an Asian market with Japanese imported foods and local produce.

Da Smoothie Shack 150 Hana Hwy., Kahului 873-0502 Shaka H&C, $5.95 It’s truly difficult to recommend a $5 sandwich in Central Maui while steering clear of a corporate deli environment. While Da Smoothie Shack is not a deli—and certainly not the Italian deli I am praying will someday open in Central Maui—they are serving healthy food for a good price. All of their sandwiches except for the prosciutto come in at $5.95. The Shaka H&C is Virginia ham and Muenster cheese plus tomato and lettuce. They also have veggie, tuna, salami or caprese. You know you’re on Maui when the fresh fruit smoothies cost as much as your sandwich.

2050 Main St. #Fc2, Wailuku 242-8813 One-item plate, $4.95 I don’t know if they do this on the Mainland, but over here we love to name take-out places the “drive inn” when there is really no car service, theater or drive-through of any sort. Plus, I don’t know where the “inn” comes in because that usually denotes lodging. That being said, places named “Drive Inn” usually serve awesome local food, even if you have to go inside and order. Royal Island Drive Inn is no exception. Their one-item plate lets you choose from many of their fresh-made daily dishes, like sesame chicken, sweet and sour pork, Chinese broccoli and pork, charsiu, zucchini and chicken, and you get the choice of chow-mein or fried rice. This restaurant is totally family owned, and serves a great breakfast for under $5, too. ■ Got a hot food scoop? Contact Jen Russo at 808-280-3386 or fax to 808-244-0446.

What in the World? Ruminations on Jai Uttal—and his genre Jai Uttal Fri., Feb. 5 (7:30pm) & Sat., Feb. 7 (7pm) The Studio Maui, Haiku 575-9390 or thestudiomaui.com

I

n the early midmorning, when there is no threat of rain, the warming ground of Wailuku town heaves up a unique smell. It’s an aged, earth-meets-industry smell—of asphalt, wood, exhaust and lava-grown green. Just the memory of that smell is enough to get you through the hot, helpless belly of the day, when the dusty hues of the office building color everything in old, tin-biscuit colors. On such an afternoon, Mike Krall of The Stuido Maui walks into my office and finds me clinging to my desktop fan. I like seeing Krall, so I pause from my fan. He sets a pair of 2003 Grammynominee Jai Uttal’s latest releases on my desk, sliding one in particular toward me. “This one is more MauiTime style,” he says. “Oh! Well, if this one is more MauiTime style, what’s that one?” I ask, pointing to the other disc. “This? It’s his latest. It’s World.” Krall pauses slightly before adding, “It’s super World.” His reply is a swirl of enthusiasm and sheepishness. “Super World. OK… I like the sound of that.” Our chuckle-filled chat ends and Krall departs. I stick my head back in front of the fan. The blades catch and chop up my words, as I repeatedly roll over that funny phrase: super world… super world… I like it. It’s a fun phrase—maybe even a mantra. As for the use of the word “World” as a genre of music, I’m unconvinced. Or, more than unconvinced, I’m confused.

W

hat exactly is World music? Here’s my limited impression: the music you push your cart to in health food stores; the stuff they pipe into boutiques smelling of sage; the satellite radio station in galleries and fancy kitchenware shops. Fine, but not necessarily for me. Nonetheless, I’m open. Uttal is one of the biggest names in the biz and sells out show after show—as his prior Maui appearances have, and assuredly the two forthcoming will. There’s got to be something to it. For Uttal specifically, I’m catching up on an over 20-year career. Meanwhile—for the very first time—probing my views of the genre he’s credited with pioneering. Daunting, yes. But, I’ve got a pretty good toolbox. Notably, a phone interview with Uttal from his from his California home, after which he personally mails to me a twodisc set titled Kirtan! The Art and Practice of Ecstatic Chant (2003). Add that to the “more

MauiTime” Dial M for Mantra (2007) and the “super World” Thunder Love (2008), and I’ve got a nice spread of releases for review. Not to mention streaming audio of all his work, from his site. I listen thoroughly—much of it played multiple times, on various players (Uttal is partial to a good sound system, “if you’re really listening”). What I hear generally supports my impressions, but of highquality execution, thanks to Uttal’s musical prowess and the uniqueness of his multiinstrumentalism. His work is clearly accented by the influences Uttal speaks fondly of— notably Indian and Brazilian, dashed with “old-timey Appalachian.” Though there’s undoubtedly strong crossover to New Age (whatever that is, too), he possesses an unguardedly hip colloquial, and his band is called the Pagan Love Orchestra. With Kirtan!, the essence of his music— and spirituality—is most evident. Kirtan itself is a musical practice that in repetition invokes the names of Indian deities. Best live, it is music that is highly participatory, experiential for the audience. Though I’m not a fan of the second track—a flowery monologue of kirtan and its practice—I love the explanatory liner notes, and stories Uttal shares of his experiences with gurus of the East. With Dial M for Mantra, the element of the industry’s “whole DJ culture… [the] world of taking someone’s music and reexamining it,” as Uttal says, is manifested. It’s my least favorite album—there are too many elements layered at length. I ask if there are any particular challenges with relinquishing his music to reinvention by someone else’s hand. Collaboration, Uttal says, is always an exciting challenge (he speaks highly of everyone he’s worked with). As for the remixes, he says that “because the albums were complete, they were out in solid form,” it wasn’t so much an issue. In the “super World” Thunder Love, I find

the biggest divergence—and what I don’t initially like grows on me. Uttal says the album—which took two years to record—is “an expression of who I am and where I am now, an attempt to really open myself.” He speaks abundantly (as in all matters) about the influence of his Brazilian wife, Nubia and their five-year-old son, Erza, to who he dedicates the album, referencing to me the “joy of meeting your soulmate” and the “thrill of having a child.” These elements translate strongest in the album. It bears a warmth and paternal earnestness that is sweet and ‘ohana friendly, which makes Uttal’s next planned project—a kids’ album—fitting.

Y

et for all this, I’m still uneasy about my understanding of World music. Time to turn to a new source. “The term is a catchall that commonly refers to non-Western music of any and all sorts, popular music, traditional music and even classical music. It’s a marketing as well as a pseudomusical term,” writes musician David Byrne in a 1999 The New York Times article titled “I Hate World Music.” “In my experience,” writes Byrne, “the use of the term world music is a way of dismissing artists or their music as irrelevant to one’s own life… Maybe that’s why I hate the term. It groups everything and anything that isn’t ‘us’ into ‘them.’” And he’s right. It would have been so much easier for me to say something to the effect of: “Hey! A renowned, New York-born musician is coming to Maui. Raised in the music industry, he’s mastered a bevy of wild, international instruments and is primarily influenced by some fascinating, spiritual experiences abroad. I’m sure you’d agree that, though born Doug, opting to go by Jai was a good choice. His latest album…” ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/music30

Film Critique

by Barry Wurst II barry@mauitime.com

Over the ‘Edge’ Mel Gibson’s in ďŹ ne form, but the relentless carnage is ho-hum Edge of Darkness

★★★★★

No thanks, we have plenty of encyclopedias.

Rated R/117 min.

T

here’s a big question this movie presents and it isn’t whether an emotionally shattered cop, played by Mel Gibson, can find out who killed his daughter. The far more pressing uncertainty is whether, following a nearly eight-year absence from the screen—during which time he directed two successful but masochistically violent historical epics and exhibited behavior that’s made him one of the most controversial movie stars alive—audiences will except Mel Gibson back as a leading man. My guess is they will, since Gibson’s grim, commanding lead performance is the best thing about this familiar and exceptionally nasty film from director Martin Campbell. Gibson inflicts physical destruction on whoever stands in his way on his quest for the ugly truth and, even with movies as old as Death Wish or as recent as Taken playing

out this “Dad’s Mad� genre, the carnage is turned up to 11. The abrupt jolts of violence are so severely cruel and graphically depicted, I didn’t know whether to be appalled or impressed. Not since the recent Rambo have I heard an audience frequently yell out a pained “ohhh!� in disbelief and desensitized astonishment. The story is based on a 1985 British miniseries (from the same director) and wants to be a layered, drawn-out morality drama. Instead we get a by the book, wronged-managainst-the-world revenge flick. Ray Winstone co-stars in the key role of

a shadow figure and, great actor that he is, his cockney accent and muted approach to the part feel out of place. The role is more a plot device than anything else, but Robert De Niro, who was originally cast in the part, could have brought more finesse. Danny Huston is fine as a creep in a three-piece suit, but he’s a solid character actor who is starting to get typecast in these roles. As for Gibson, this isn’t one of his inventively “loony� turns, like Hamlet or the Lethal Weapon; he internalizes his character’s growing madness and while this isn’t one of his casually brilliant performances, his eyes

can still convey both fatherly warmth and scary obsession. Campbell found the right leading man and stages some memorable carnage, but in the end this a cold, seen-it-before B-movie that begins with a shocking act of violence, drags on with awkward sentiment and only springs to life whenever Gibson starts bumping off large portions of the ensemble cast. Gibson’s still got it, even when he’s sporting an on-again, off-again Boston accent and saying lines like “You had better decide whether you’re hangin’ on the cross...or bangin’ in the nails,â€? a peculiar, even tasteless choice of dialogue coming from the man who directed the most successful movie about Jesus ever made. Gibson’s next stop on the comeback trail: a comedy directed by Jodie Foster called The Beaver, about a man who lives life wearing a beaver hand puppet. Call me crazy, but there’s no way I’m missing that! â– To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/ďŹ lm30

Saturday (February 6), 6-8pm at Whalers Village, Lahaina

If your New Year’s resolutions are already guiltily crumpled in the bottom of a dumpster, not to worry—just switch cultures because it’s already time to ring in the Chinese Year of the Tiger. Let the kids in on the fun, and tell any elementary school rug-rats you know that they can create a Chinese New Year-inspired drawing and submit it to Maui Thing for a chance to win a T-shirt and goodie bag. If you didn’t already know, the best way to bring prosperity to your business in the New Year is to hang a cabbage in the doorway. Maybe drawing tigers will help, too? Entries must be submitted by February 3 and winners will be announced February 5. After winning that contest—or to ease the pain brought in by the quiet, bespectacled 3rd grader’s purple spotted dragon winning more points for creativity—head across the street to the Iao Theater to see Mana Maoli Collective at 5:30pm. If you can’t make it on the 5th, you’ll have another chance to catch them on February 6 at Mulligan’s on the Blue (9pm). Both shows ask a minimum donation of $10, which will benefit Mana Maoli, a nonprofit that supports Na Lai Na‘auao Hawaiian Charter School Alliance and the Pasifika 2010, a music festival in Aotearoa (aka New Zealand).

Support our troops! Not by knitting mittens or wearing little pins and bumper stickers, but rather by attending this free concert, featuring Hana Hou, the 501st Airforce band founded 25 years ago. The band is composed of 11 members, who will perform individually as well as in small jazz groups, offering patrons a unique, rousing experience, complete with vocalists and a bugler, led by Chief Master Sergeant Larry D. Mac Taggart. Also, in keeping with the Chinese New Year theme, Whalers Village will host a Lion Dance on February 17, starting at 3:30pm. Whalersvillage.com [SB]

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery by celebrating Bob Marley’s birthday. No gifts please, as the well-loved king of reggae is deceased, and probably wouldn’t have appreciated material offerings anyway, unless they were from that secret garden of yours deep in the cane field. PACT is holding a celebration at Iao Theater, featuring a screening of Bob Marley and the Wailers’ 1979 Santa Barbara Concert documentary. The event will be hosted by Marty Dread, “Maui’s Reggae Ambassador,” who will perform some songs. Also, appropriately enough, Marty was named after Martin Luther King Jr., and this is Black History Month. Marty Dread always stirs up plenty of good vibes and is sure to make this a cool, successful evening. Advance tickets are available at Request Music and Trade Winds Deli. [SB]

The alternate universe of the Internet is quickly tying itself into every aspect of our lives. Switch that Facebook status to “in a relationship” and watch how quickly the cute blonde who works at the cafe across the street trades in her stilettos for comfy tennies and stops forgetting to charge for your drinks. Positive or negative, information about you, in both the personal and business sense is easily accessible through the Internet. Think about it: when potential clients Google you, what are they going to find? A high-school honor-roll record or a trashy YouTube video of a certain Brittney Spears karaoke stunt? How do you make your preferred results appear first on the search engine, and ensure that your message is echoed in all the social networking sites and far reaches of the Internet? Peter Liu, technologist and Internet expert, is Columbus, and Twitter is the New World. (Except he knows what’s up and realizes he isn’t in India.) Liu is holding a free workshop to explain “How to Use Social Media to Improve Your Business,” for anyone and everyone who wants to get untangled from the Web.

With a firm foundation in the traditions of ki ho‘alu — Hawaiian slack key guitar — Makana adds the influences of folk, rock, ethnic, bluegrass, jazz, traditional, ambient and classical music to create a style all his own. Known as a musical world time traveler, channeling inspirations from many places and times through his voice, fast fingers and guitar, Makana brings them together as one, with ground-breaking new works and reanimated classics. His music transcends category and trend by integrating eclectic elements from diverse musical sources into his traditional Hawaiian slack key, to create his arrangements. The result is pure innovation, and the charting of new sonic frontiers. $32. McCoy Studio Theater, MACC, One Cameron Way, Kahului; 808242-7469; www.mauiarts.org PINK MARTINI - Thu, Mar 4. Their latest is titled Splendor in the Grass, clever too as their name evokes splendor in a glass. But let’s quit skimming off the top-Pink Martini downright rocks. “Pink Martini is a rollicking around-the-world musical adventure … if the United Nations had a house band in 1962, hopefully we’d be that band,” writes Thomas Lauderdale, bandleader and pianist of the eleven member ensemble. And while I hate to pull from other journo’s work, Variety did a darned-good job saying, “no matter how Pink Martini gets described, there’s always an element being overlooked, a reliance on phrases such as lounge, cosmopolitan rumba or neo-classical, that only tells part of this rich story. Impressive at every musician’s station, this ensemble produces music that’s charming and elegant.” General public tickets go on sale Thursday (Feb 4), so hurry and get yours. Ooh! And, the MACC will feature a dance floor! Fun, no? $37 advance / $45 day of. 7:30 p.m. Castle Theater, MACC, One Cameron Way, Kahului; 808242-7469; www.mauiarts.org MAUI HUMANE SOCIETY’S 2010 FUR BALL “DISCO INFERNO” - an Evening at Kennel 54 - Sat, Mar 20.

Horoscopes

sign.language.astrology@gmail.com AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) What started as a pet project now has the potential to turn into something more. The question is, do you want it to? On the one hand, this could be something that enables you to generate wealth or opportunities from something you love. On the other hand, transforming it in such a way could kill your love for it altogether. It mostly depends on where you’re at, and what you’re willing to do, and how. The only question that’s really answered is: when? That’s easy. Now is the time. What you do is up to you.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) The house is cold, and your bed is cozy and warm. I’m sure the last thing you want to do is get up and take on a task that you’d be reluctant to tackle even under more comfortable conditions. However, if you don’t get this shit done now, it’ll never get done, so suck it up, grit your teeth, and get down to business. I know that bites, but I’m not telling you anything you didn’t already know, am I? The good news is, once it’s done you’ll be able to crawl back into bed and laze the day away with a clear conscience.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You may be loathe to move the couch or the fridge for fear of what you’ll ďŹ nd behind them, but not moving them is worse, since you’re just giving whatever bits of food and crud are back there more time to mold and fester. That’s gross. Don’t wait for March or April to do your spring cleaning. Roll up your sleeves and get some done this week. Even if it’s freezing, open the windows of your life and get some of the detritus out. Don’t be lazy. You’ll feel a whole lot better once you do.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) You keep asking people’s advice because you haven’t yet heard what you want to hear. Admit that you already know what you want to do—you’re just waiting for someone to convince you that it’s smart or at least acceptable. The problem is, it’s not that smart. However, it seems as if you’re keen to learn this lesson the hard way (and, yes, hurt the slight off chance that it could work out the way you hope). In that case, I suggest you stop wasting people’s time by asking them for advice you won’t take, and just go for it, already.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Just be clear about what you want. Societal expectations aside, you’re not truly obligated to do anything. You always have choices. Yes, sometimes they’re difďŹ cult, unpleasant ones, but acknowledging and considering them is still a lot better than feeling trapped and locked to one particular course of action, especially one you ďŹ nd repugnant. Forget about what you’re supposed to feel or do, and admit to yourself what you actually feel and want (or don’t want) to do. Once you’ve acknowledged your own emotions and discarded stupid social programming, your course of action should be abundantly clear.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) When you get a cold, you’re usually conscientious about washing your hands frequently, and coughing or sneezing into the crook of your elbow (instead of your hands), to minimize the germs you spread. However, you’re not quite as careful about not spreading unpleasant viral ideas—usually things you’re worried about. Does sharing your cold with someone else make you feel better? I hope not. Similarly, I hope that you can resist spreading your mental fears far and wide. I understand how sharing the burden might make it feel less intense, but try to do so only with people whose psychic immune systems can bear it without suffering.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Every Leo has some Veruca Salt moments (“I want it NOW!�). However, as you mature, those episodes should become less frequent and intense. Learning to wait and do without are important lessons for every high-maintenance Leo, along with learning to maintain yourself and not rely on others to make your life what you want it to be. Generally, you’ve been heading in the right direction. However, occasionally you’re still subject to regressive emotional episodes. This week could feature some of those, so be on your guard—the moment you start sounding the least bit like an entitled princess, shut up and walk away until the impulse passes.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) You could always tear things down and start from scratch, building what you want from the ground up. Although that gives you a better chance of exactly interpreting your vision, it’s also incredibly time- and resource-intensive. Sometimes working with what you’ve got is a far better choice, even if it means you’ll have to compromise your dream somewhat. Only you can judge how much of your innate perfectionist streak will come into play here. Will you only be happy with the exact thing featured in your imagination (which could take longer to achieve than you ever dreamed), or could the current available interpretation of it work for you?

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) What happened to fun? I can’t remember the last time you set aside time for something that was just about enjoying yourself, and nothing else. Sure, you’ve had fun, but it’s mostly been mixed with other stuff. Pure playtime seems to be rare or absent from your schedule these days. Fix that this week. Once you’ve carved out a little niche for some mindless (or mindful) play, make sure you keep it open in weeks to come. All work and no play can make you dull—mix in a little quality amusement and you’ll be sharp, vibrant, and ready for action when it really counts.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Imagine that this person you’re fond of was stuck in a walk-in freezer for days, until you opened the door. Now, some time later, it may seem as if they’ve recovered and thawed out, but the truth is their core is still a bit frozen and stiff. Trying to move too quickly right now could be very bad. Even though all signs appear to be “go,� hold off. Even if by some miracle their feelings are thawed all the way through, they’re surely just barely room temperature. Wait a bit longer and they’ll be boiling.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Sagittarians are Jacks of All Trades. You’re generally good at many things, great at a few, master of none. Having so many talents can often keep you from going deep with any one of your interests. This is a good week to experiment with delving further into one of your edgling passions, and see how it would feel to devote the majority (yes, more than half!) of your time to it. Of course, that would mean giving up (or putting on the long-term back burner) at least several of your other interests— but you’ll never know whether or not it’s worth the sacriďŹ ce until you give it a go.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) You’ve spent a lot of time putting up walls between yourself and other people, in order to protect yourself and get on with the other stuff you’ve deemed important in your life. The problem arises when you decide you’d like to get closer to someone—that’s when you notice that very few of those fences have gates, so you’re stuck climbing over them, walking the long way around them, or knocking them down. I’m not going to argue with your particular social strategy, as by and large it’s served you well. However, if and when you build new walls to protect yourself with, make sure you build them with doors, just in case you ever want to end up on the same side of them as someone else.
