Coconut Wireless To Jail And Back

f there’s anything more sadly symbolic than the idea of shipping our garbage to the Mainland, it’s the idea of shipping out our prisoners. Yet that’s exactly what we do. The combined capacity of the state’s four jails (on Oahu, Maui, the Big Island and Kauai) and four prisons (three on Oahu, one on the Big Island) is 3,487.

has no written policies or procedures for contract administration, and the administrator and staff readily accepted CCA’s representations and conclusions of its performance without verifying statements against documented evidence.”

Essentially, the state used the smokescreen of a public partnership to send Hawaii inmates to private prisons in the Southwestern desert—with no

Essentially, the state shipped Hawaii inmates off to private prisons in the Southwestern desert with no oversight.

Add the federal prison on Oahu and the number climbs to 4,349, but that’s still not nearly enough.

So the state contracts out, to three prisons in Eloy, Arizona owned by the private Corrections Corporation of America (CCA). It’s part of an “Inter-Governmental Agreement” (IGA) between the Aloha and Grand Canyon states, which, apparently, have complementary problems: too many prisoners and too many prisons.

But it’s not all symbiosis and roses says Hawaii State Auditor Marion Higa in a December report, which termed the state’s deal with Eloy “fundamentally flawed.” According to the report, the state Department of Public Safety (DPS) “conducts all transactions directly with CCA,” indicating that the arrangement “inappropriately used the IGA exemption and is circumventing the law.”

In addition, Higa writes, “the department

oversight. Oh, and (to quote from the report again): “[The] IGA does not contain safeguards that protect the state’s interests in the event of a dispute or if funds are not appropriated or available to pay CCA, so the state is exposed to a liability risk.”

The good news? The contract with Eloy and CCA expires June 30, which gives DPS a shade under six months to figure out a better solution. Wait—did we say that was good news?

First Hawaii Tourists?

he first Polynesian voyagers landed on Hawaii shores about 900 years ago, according to a group of scholars including UH Manoa professor of anthropology Terry Hunt. The group’s findings, published recently in the

The Blog Roll

NEWS BRIEFS

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shed new light on the chronology of Hawaiian history, which, as a UH press release puts it, has been “hotly debated and poorly resolved.”

After settling Samoa around 800 B.C., Polynesians spread to the central Society Islands circa 1100 A.D. and then to New Zealand, Hawaii and Easter Island somewhere between 1190 and 1290 A.D. “This is an amazing feat of Polynesian sea voyaging and discovery, and represents a rate of dispersal unprecedented in oceanic prehistory,” said Janet Wilmshurst, a New Zealand paleoecologist also involved in the study.

“It’s even more incredible given that these isolated islands are spread across a vast area of the Pacific Ocean from the subtropics to the sub-Antarctics. Nearly all of the 500 or so islands were discovered, despite being scattered across an area of ocean the size of North America.”

Hunt said the study, which analyzed more than 1,400 radiocarbon-dated objects, shows “that we can’t just accept dates for whatever they are.” As an example, Hall cites a piece of wood charcoal. “You can date the charcoal, but the question is when did the wood actually die? If ancient Polynesians used wood from an old tree, or worse, driftwood, the age would be centuries too old. When you want to know when people arrived on an island, you have to be careful what materials you choose to date.”

More information on the study, and its methodology, can be found at hawaii.edu.

State GOP: Dysfunctional Analysis

T

o say the Hawaii GOP took a beating in November is like saying...sorry, can’t think of anything else that painfully obvious. Afterward, activist Eric Ryan issued a scathing letter calling for the heads of heavyweights

like then-Gov. Linda Lingle and chair Jonah Ka‘auwai and an audit of the party’s finances. In response, Ka‘auwai sent a missive to Hawaii Republicans branding Ryan “a disgruntled party member” and accusing him of “making off-base complaints and wild accusations.” (Ka‘auwai added that Ryan “would rather see the party hoard money and not spend it on winning elections,” conveniently forgetting they didn’t actually, you know, win many elections.)

Just when it seemed the story couldn’t get any more comically juicy, the Honolulu StarAdvertiser reported that Ka‘auwai has called a “closed door meeting” to “discuss financial matters...and approval of an audit committee.” Pity we weren’t invited. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1429c

In 1776 Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soldiers were clothed with thread spun from hemp fibers...

Last year, in his second season, Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson defined breakout, rushing for 2,000-plus yards and 14 touchdowns and making opposing defenses look like Pop Warner scrubs. Then he went and opened his yapper, promising to have an even bigger 2010â&#x20AC;&#x201D;which he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

His rushing total fell to 1,364 yards and his TDs to 11. Quite a dropoff, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not being measured against 2009 Chris Johnson; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being measured against all other 2010 running backs. And by that metric he still deserved to goâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Johnson had a higher yardsper-carry average and a half-dozen more touchdowns than the Jacksonville Jaguarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Maurice Jones-Drew, who will be sipping pre-game mai tais.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Do Suggs For the casual fan, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to look at tackles

This was easily the biggest omission, both because quarterbacks get all the attention and because the Green Bay Packersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Aaron Rodgers had a monster season: 3,922 yards passing, 28 TDs to 11 interceptions and another 356 yards rushing and four scores.

Oh yeah, and Rodgers did it without a superstar supporting cast, taking his team on his back and carrying them to the playoffs. So who does Rodgers replace on the NFC squad? Funny you should ask...

One Vick Puppy Almost everyone has forgiven Michael Vick.

The fans in Philadelphia were the firstâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; watching a backup QB morph into an MVP candidate will do thatâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and most other fans, and the league, quickly followed suit. Then the general public accepted him back and next thing you knew he was getting props from President Obama, being held up as a shining example of rehabilitation and the

redemptive power of the human spirit.

Screw that. What everyone has forgotten (or chosen to ignore) is that Vick isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t merely some guy who made a few bad decisions. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not talking about a momentary lapse in judgement or a brief run-in with the law. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about torturing, maiming and killing dogsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; repeatedly, systematically, over a long period of time. For fun.

Animal rights activists say Vick should still be rotting in jail. But what good would that do? We say he should be spending his days scooping poop and filling food bowls at an animal shelter for minimum wage, and then, in his spare time, speaking out against the kind of senseless cruelty he once reveled in (and no, a few canned sound bites and photo ops donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count).

Sure, everyone deserves a second chance.

But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a difference between getting a second chance and getting to become a multi-millionaire superstar just three years after pleading guilty to financing a dogfighting operation that used methods like drowning and electrocution to kill under-performing animals. (Seriously, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the details, read the indictment.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make your stomach turn.)

Vick should have been banned for life.

Instead, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be soaking up the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and adulationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;on Oahu. Hopefully Hawaiiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog lovers will show up to let him know we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all moved on. â&#x2013; To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1429u

as the measure of a defensive player. It is, after all, the object of the game. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at best an incomplete stat, and at worst leads to a guy like Baltimore Ravens loudmouth Terrell Suggs (the dude who thought he was insulting Tom Brady by reminding him he has a super hot wife) making the Pro Bowl. Yes, Suggs had a few more tackles than, say, left-off San Diego Chargers outside linebacker Shaun Phillips, but Phillips had equal or better stats across the rest of the board and he ran his only interception of the season (Suggs didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any) back for a 31-yard TD.

OK, one of them is a punter, which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really count, and none are glaringly unworthy. But come on.

This week, President Obama returned to Washington from his “Hawaii vacation.” (Tangential quibble: why is the national media incapable of uttering the words “Oahu” or “Kailua”? When President Bush pretended to be a cowboy on his ranch, he was going to “Crawford,” not “Texas.”) Fresh off the plane, Obama said he knows Republicans will “play to their base for a certain period of time,” but added he’s “confident that they’re going to recognize that our job is to govern and make sure that we are delivering jobs for the American people.”

‘Wonder what gives him that confidence? Was it when Sen. Mitch McConnell told the National Journal, “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president”? Or when newly minted Speaker of the House John Boehner told 60 Minutes, in response to a question about compromise, “I reject the word”?

NEWS OF THE WEIRD WHAT IS IT WITH THE MILITARY AND CATCH-22s?

David Henderson, a Korean War veteran long suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, applied 15 days past the deadline for enhanced care under a 2001 veterans-benefits law and thus was, as required by the statute, disqualified from the additional benefits. Henderson’s doctor pointed out that major disorders such as Henderson’s often leave victims unable to understand concepts like “deadlines.” As U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer asked, during argument on the case in December, did Congress (which wrote the statute) really intend to deprive Henderson of care because of the very disability for which he sought help?

BAD TASTE IN MUSIC Fredrik Hjelmqvist, 45, owner of an audio shop in Stockholm, demonstrated in November his system of broadcasting music from his stomach. He swallowed a plastic capsule containing a battery-operated audio set-up, then connected an amplifier to a stethoscope and held it against his belly, and began playing recorded music, including the Village People’s “YMCA,” until the battery died three hours later. Hjelmqvist admitted that the audio quality was poor but still hopes to sell the system for the equivalent of about $17,000.

FOWL DEALINGS (1) Gloria Clark, 62, was charged in the death of her 98-year-old mother in St. George, South Carolina, in December after the mother’s body was found among squalid conditions at her home.

According to the police report, the parrot, in the mother’s bedroom, continually squawked—mimicking “Help me! Help me!” followed by the sound of laughter.

NOT PLAYING GAMES

This goes out to the smokers. I know you have it rough. I know the number of places you’re allowed to puff has basically been reduced to your home and a small patio in Beirut. But pretty please: don’t leave your butts on the beach. It’s an old gripe, I know, but it’s also a New Year.

So maybe those of you who aren’t resolving to kick the habit altogether can resolve to stop leaving your soggy little nicotine stubs all over our beautiful sand. In return, I resolve to not to cough in a rudely exaggerated fashion when I inhale a cloud of your secondhand cancer vapor. Deal? ■

Darren Suchon, 42 and unemployed (and usually home all day), was charged in October with reckless driving and assault, among other things, for allegedly running his girlfriend off the road in his zeal to catch her after she drove away with his Sony PlayStation console. She had just left for work, and Suchon weaved through traffic in Palmerton, Pennsylvania, then bumped her car when he caught up with her at a traffic light, forcing her off the road. According to witnesses, Suchon rushed the car, “clawing” at it, screaming that he would “break the [expletive] window” if he didn’t get his game back.

INCOMPETENT CRIMINALS (1) Murder suspect Earle Barranco, 24, was arrested in Charlotte, North Carolina, in November, three weeks after allegedly killing a man in a New York City diner.

Barranco was spotted at a Charlotte Bobcats basketball game, mugging for the arena’s JumboTron while decked out in the distinctive jewelry he wore during the alleged murder. At the next Bobcats game a few days later, with police monitoring that same seat, Barranco was arrested.

(2) Dennis Davis, 40, and his wife were convicted in October in Britain’s Staines Magistrates’ Court of manufacturing a line of pirated music CDs. Davis initially denied ownership of the pirated stash but was unable to explain why the CDs bore his company’s label with his own photo on it.

SUE’VE GOTTA BE KIDDING (1) In July, a 5-year-old boy in Dublin, Ireland, was awarded the equivalent of about $9,900 from a shopkeeper who had grabbed his arm and accused him, erroneously, of being a thief. Under the law, the boy had to prove that he has, at age 5, a “reputation in the community” for truth-telling and that his reputation had been damaged. (2) A New York City judge ruled in October that an 87-yearold woman who was accidentally knocked down by several kids racing bicycles on the sidewalk could sue the kids, including one who was 4 years old (and who is thus legally presumed to understand the difference between “reasonable” and “unreasonable” behavior). ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1429n

L

ast weekend, Alan Arakawa was sworn in as the seventh Mayor of Maui County—eight years after he became Maui’s fifth Mayor, and four years after he watched Charmaine Tavares take his job.

A few days before the ceremony, we sat down with Arakawa in his Wailuku transition office—a small, cluttered room filled with papers, filing cabinets and a few staffers pecking at iPads—to discuss his top priorities, his political appointees and his road map for term number two.

ALAN ARAKAWA: THE (RE)ENTRANCE INTERVIEW

BY JACOB SHAFER

What’s the first concrete thing you’d like to accomplish?

One of the first things that I’m going to do is issue a directive that all County employees will behave in a professional manner, and that any unprofessional behavior will be dealt with through disciplinary action.

We’ve had a lot of complaints about County employees not being publicoriented and not working as public servants. This is an attitude that I won’t tolerate, and I don’t believe the public should either. We’re here to serve the public—we’re not here to make demands or threaten or pretend that we’re better than anybody else.

You said “professional manner.”

How is that defined?

The County already has a policy of behavior. [It] entails normal politeness and to be able to recognize that they have to deal with the public. The public are, after all, the business that we’re in.

So we’re going to serve our clientele in a way that would befit any business. We have to be courteous. We have to receive calls and return calls. We process papers.

We help people get their paperwork done. We don’t demand and we don’t force people to do things because they’re afraid of us. That’s the attitude we’re going to change.

What’s the punishment if people don’t comply?

There’s already a system that’s established within the union agreements. If someone is acting in a way that is non-professional, »

» we’ll have a consultation meeting and explain what it is they’re doing incorrectly, with their union representative present.

We’ll do this in a written format as well as an interview format, and we’ll ask them to take corrective action. If they take corrective action, fine. If they don’t—if they repeat the improper behavior—then we’ll take further disciplinary action. There’s progressive disciplinary action that’s spelled out in the union contracts; we’ll do this according to the system that’s already in place.

What’s one mistake you believe Mayor Tavares made that you can rectify quickly?

10 JANUARY 6, 2011

One is the attitudes of County employees.

But there are a number of things we’re looking at. We want to create affordable housing. The community has been crying for affordable housing for some time now.

And even though the ability has been there—many of the developers have wanted to produce affordable housing—a lot of that has been stymied. We’re going to work with some of those developers.

We also want to work with agencies that want to take foreclosed properties, rehabilitate them and put them back into service. We have to minimize the number of foreclosures and vacant properties that are left unattended; we don’t want to create the

broken-window syndrome that many other communities are facing.

In order for us to have a viable economy, we’re going to have to start being very pro-business, working with businesses and people who want to help themselves.

We’re going to be encouraging people to start businesses, expand businesses and hire more people. We’re going to do away with the process of telling people we’d rather have them on welfare than helping themselves. That doesn’t make any sense.

Give a concrete example of how you’d encourage a business to expand.

For one thing, we’re going to look into

changing the permitting process. Let’s say a building has six offices, and somebody wants to come in and establish a new business in one of those spaces. They’re now required to fix the entire building and to make improvements to the entire property.

We’re going to try to change the process so that they only need to fix what needs to be fixed, minimizing the cost of a new start-up.

If someone is trying to invest $30,000 to start a business and they’re given a bill for $200,000 to fix a fire hydrant and water lines, they’re not going to start that business.

The role of government is not to create rules that are unrealistic and hurtful; the role of government is to find ways to help people

survive in a very difficult environment.

Speaking of the role of government: during the campaign you criticized the size of the Mayor’s staff. What are some specific cuts you plan to make?

We’re taking about a 15 percent reduction in employee pay in the Mayor’s office, and we’re not filling all the positions. It’s not that we couldn’t use them, but we realize these are tough economic times. And as long as we’re asking the community to tighten its belt, the County should do the same thing. We’re looking to do that in all the departments, to streamline them so that the work that one department is doing isn’t being duplicated by every other department.

For example?

In departments like fire, police and parks, we have people who are trying to create buildings or facilities. The fire department is having firefighters design the fire house in Kaunakakai, for instance, and manage the project. So we have fire fighters who are not trained project managers out there trying to supervise the contractor. Does that make sense? Taking people who aren’t trained to oversee a major project?

So it’s a matter of misused resources then?

It’s a matter of putting the right resources in the right places to accomplish what we need to accomplish. We were on Molokai recently. We have a new community center at Maunaloa. From what I’ve been told and from what I saw myself, much of the construction is substandard. The floor of the center is raw concrete, and somebody seems to have poured non-skid on as a cover. Can you imagine dancing on a sand-based nonskid floor? Can you imagine how difficult it’s going to be for seniors with walkers?

It’s obvious that whoever did the project management didn’t have the experience to know that these things aren’t done.

I could go into any number of examples.

Talk about the layout of the ninth floor. We know from your infamous radio remarks you don’t buy the security explanation given by your predecessor. Do you plan to change things?

First of all, the way we do security in the [County] building isn’t really going to protect anybody. If you want to have true security, it costs a lot more than what we’re willing to put out, or should put out. I want to open things up because I believe the County of Maui deserves an open government. I’m going to be walking around Longs Drugs and Safeway and everywhere else, going to a lot of events.

If I’m going to go all those places without [security], I don’t see why I need it at the County building. The public should be able to come in and talk to us.

So does that mean another remodel?

Well, we’re going to open the door for one thing. Beyond that, I’m told I have to check the permitting process, but I don’t like the office structure. I think it’s cold and unfriendly. Anyone coming to visit the Mayor now, there’s no reception area, nowhere to sit and get a cup of coffee. That sends the wrong message. You’re paying us, and we need to be open to listening to you.

We’re not going to be hiding.

You tapped two termed-out Councilmembers—Jo Anne Johnson and Mike Molina—to serve in your administration. What do you expect them to bring to the table?

The public returned Councilmembers Molina and Johnson to office five times, so obviously they have the support of the community. They have a lot of talent and a lot of experience. With Mike Molina, I hope we can have a good relationship with the County Council. I want him to explain to us how and why the Council passed certain laws, and how we can improve the systems we have. We also have to deal with boards and commissions. Their results end up at the Council for review. Having Mike help us find people for boards and commissions, I think, will be very beneficial.

Councilmember Johnson is very community-oriented; she’s very

Parsons, is going to be part of your administration for the second time, as environmental coordinator. Talk about the role you want him to play.

Everybody thinks of Rob as 100 percent environmental, Mr. Environment. And while he does have that mantle and that’s an area he’ll be able to help us with, he was also very helpful to our [first] administration being a liaison to the state. Rob attended many of the Department of Transportation meetings, DLNR meetings—he was our go-between whenever the state was planning something and the Mayor’s office needed a representative. The ability to get the County and the state working together on projects—like the bathrooms in Lahaina, in the harbor area—is invaluable. We were able to cut through the red tape to save literally tens of millions of dollars of federal money and create the harbor improvements in Manele and Kaunakakai, some of the things that are happening in Maalaea right now, the improvements to the sewer system. Rob was instrumental in putting those packages together, and those are things I’m looking at Rob to do. When you’re walking through a community and you’re looking for ways to improve it, you have very different eyes than when you’re walking through it just to get from one place to another.

You’ve made water one of your central issues. What’s the plan for the next four years?

Very simply we want to develop the water resources we need so that we never have a deficiency in water supply. It’ll take us a little bit to catch up, but once we do we’ll stay ahead of the curve. We’re already having discussions with A&B about sharing the use of their irrigation systems as transportation systems for water. We do have to work with the state water commission as well, but at least we’ll have a real good idea as to where we’re going and what we need to accomplish.

To spend a whole lot of time just taking water out of the Iao aquifer area—Na Wai Eha—makes almost no sense in the long term. All we’re doing currently is temporary patches, the movement of wells and trying to get broader draw bases—half a million gallons here or half a million gallons there.

It’s still threatening the water resource. If Lahaina’s system were to fail today, how would we supplement? We don’t have a

“We’ve had a lot of complaints about County employees not being public-oriented and not working as public servants. This is an attitude that I won’t tolerate.”

But honestly I don’t want to go into too much detail, because I’m going to have the parks department review these things and find out who was responsible. These are ways that County funds are being misspent, and we have to go back and make corrections.

bright and capable. I have her as transportation director because I believe she has the vision to look long-term at the kinds of things we need to accomplish.

Corridors for a train system, for example.

She’ll have engineers and experts helping with the technical side of course, but being able to go out in the community and work with the state and understand the legislative process is very important.

One of our contributors, Rob

backup. We can’t be crossing our fingers and hoping on a wing and a prayer. We have to figure out ways to connect all the systems and balance our water use, to be sure there’s a redundancy to protect the community.

Is that something you could accomplish in four years? Is this an issue voters should judge you on?

It’s not going to happen in four years. The start of it will happen within a year or two, but these are long-term plans. We don’t have

the money to just go in and make all these improvements right away, but we do have the will to start laying out the programs and getting things going. It will take time, but we need to start someplace.

What do you think about the makeup of the new Council? Are you optimistic you’ll be able to work with them?

I’m optimistic I’ll be able to work with the Council. Having former Councilmembers on our staff will allow us to have a lot better communication. I want everybody to know that any breakdown in communication is not going to be because my administration is trying to estrange itself. We’re going to go out of our way to try and work with the Council, and you will note that at every meeting, every time they ask us for something we’ll be cooperative. This has to be a cooperative relationship; it’s not about political posturing.

It sounds like you’re anticipating problems. Do you have any specific reason to be concerned?

No. The last time we were in office, we had problems because it wasn’t always a two-way street. And I’m pointing out that we’re going to do everything in our power to make it a two-way street. I’m not anticipating a problem, [but] if there is a problem it’s not going to be our fault.

We hear regularly from people who’ve given up on County government, who believe it’s broken.

What would you say to them?

Well, let me point out some harsh realities.

If County government didn’t exist, most of these people would not have water or sewers, their roads would not be repaired, there would be no police or fire protection.

All of these things they’ve given up on, they depend on them, too. And they’ll be the first to scream they want a fire engine when their house is burning down.

Those are essential services.

What about some of the lessessential bureaucracy?

It goes hand-in-hand. Whenever you have a government system you’re dealing with a lot of areas, balancing community needs and community wants. You’re always going to have conflicts. The person who wants the perfect government for himself is being very selfish, saying, ‘I don’t care what anybody else needs.’ That doesn’t work in the real world.

The reality is we have limitations in resources [and] capabilities. We can’t snap our fingers and have the best engineers, the best technicians, the best computer geniuses at fingertip. People within our community, the skills they have, are the best we have and we have to utilize them as best we can. There will be mistakes, there will be delays. But if people don’t like the way government is operating, they can volunteer for boards and commissions and be in a position to make decisions. Everything from street lighting or street naming commissions to the planning commission, police commission, the water board. People need to stand up and be part of a solution rather than just griping. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1429a

Glass Is In Session Think becoming a wine expert is all sips and giggles? Think again

R

estaurant guests always ask me where I studied wine. It’s an understandable inquiry; they are, after all, about to let me help them spend hundreds of dollars on alcohol. While there are plenty of “schools” that claim to teach one how to become a sommelier, it is only the Court of Master Sommeliers that carries the international reputation necessary to enhance your resume.

This Society is not a school, but rather four levels of testing, ending in the coveted master sommelier diploma. In order to acquire the knowledge necessary to pass all four levels, candidates must spend years in independent study, with mentoring by masters throughout. Many restaurant professionals pass the introductory course.

A fraction move forward to the second tier and earn the title of certified sommelier. But the advanced sommelier level and master diploma have less than 1,000 members worldwide. Here’s how I cracked that exclusive club.

Y

ou walk into a banquet room at some five-star hotel. The massive space has been cleared of all furniture, save a lone table in the center.

Placed on the table are six wine glasses with varying shades of red and white wine.

Three individuals are seated on one side awaiting your arrival. All three are master sommeliers, there to administer your blind tasting examination. There are only 172

masters in the world and the gravity of the situation hits you fast. As you sit on the opposite side, glasses before you, a master breaks the silence: “You know the drill; we will start the clock when you touch the first glass.”

You do know the drill, which is why your hand is shaking when you begin a visual analysis of wine number one. You now have exactly 25 minutes to tell these masters everything about the mystery wines: vintage, region, grape varietal, quality level— of level—all it. Miss one a you wine and might have w just wasted a week’s worth wo This of work. is day five, the d of final day your advanced somm sommelier exam exam.

On day four you arriv at the arrive testi site testing s on schedule ta the to take serv service por portion of the exam, hel in the held same sam room as the blind tasting tas segment, se but bu with three th Afte the test tables instead of one. After tabl where begins, you walk up to the first table two masters are seated. Acting like restaurant patrons they grill you on cocktail recipes before attacking food and wine pairing

You are ushered to a second table and another set of masters. They study your every movement as you open a bottle of champagne, all the while quizzing you on obscure wine regions and cult producers.

The final table is more of the same, masters observing as you decant a bottle of old red wine and quizzing you on vintage knowledge: “This is the 1995 vintage, but I also hear the ’90 and ’96 are good, can you explain the differences between the ’90s vintages in Bordeaux, France?” Your answer is quickly followed by their retort: “Now let’s discuss the ’80s of Tuscany, Italy.” Good grief.

Y

ou wake up scared as hell on day three, knowing this is when the fun begins. In the late afternoon you will take the theory portion of the exam, considered by many to be the most difficult segment. After sitting through some morning lectures and practice tastings, the test begins. Over 100 of the hardest questions you have ever seen: 1. What is the minimum yield for Grand Cru Champagne in hectoliters per hectare?

2. List all the DOCGs of Piedmont, Italy, in order from East to West.

3. What are the grapes used in Spanish Cava production?

That last question was a gimme, so you struggle through the rest, all the while wishing you’d just gone to law school like your parents wanted. The masters throw in a separate wine-list critique test intended to display your in-the-field experience.

Afterward, they hand you a piece of paper with the appointment times for the next two sections of the test, coming tomorrow and the next day. Day three is over and you’re already exhausted. Right now an ice

Ingredients of old-school cocktails like the Negroni, Sidecar, Scorpion...gotta know them all. Afterwards, you are given two minutes to correctly identify twelve mystery glasses of spirits by nose only. You reply: “Number one is Islay Scotch; number two is XO Cognac…”

cold beer sounds great, but there is no time for that. Back to the hotel instead, time to pull another all-nighter.

Day two is a continuation of day one.

rownChicken BrownCow String Band defies classification—and that’s the great thing about them.

They’re so determined to do things their own way, they fall outside the narrow elucidation of genre. Sure their jangly, traditional, often acoustic styling honors the past, but this foursome’s sound supersedes historical expectations. Just because you see a fiddle, a banjo or an upright bass, don’t peg it as bluegrass.

The band (or any bluegrass purist for that matter) will be the first to tell you it’s not.

“What do we call what we do? I have a name for it—we each have a name for it,” says guitarist Justin Morris.

“We’ve been trying to peg that one down for awhile,” adds fiddler Xander Hitzig, acknowledging that the band is easy to mischaracterize—and that accurate characterization may, in fact, be impossible.

“Personally, I haven’t been able to come up with anything specific,” mandolin player Orion Hitzig further explains. “I always come up with some scattered description, then when I’m done explaining it—” he stops to sound an unconvinced yawing.

“Mine is ‘multicultural string music’,” says bassist Matt Del Olmo. And the band does cite far-reaching influences: country, jazz, blues, rock—and, yes, bluegrass.

“What I’ve always told people is we’re an original Appalachian string band,” says Justin, as he describes a timeline of influences in and around the band’s home, West Virgina. “This band was born in the Appalachian mountains, [and] that region is a huge melting pot of culture. There’s a lot in pride in that for me.”

It’s the indefinable quality of BrownChicken BrownCow String Band that I like best, and it’s the direction I’d like to see music—and society at large—head. Labels tend to obscure more than they reveal, and once we’re rid of them we can experience each other—and each others’ art—more freely.

Seem a little heady for a string band?

That’s nothing: Justin explains how—when “panning” (i.e. assigning elements of monaural music to make it stereophonic) their last album ...It’s A Deep Subject—he was struck with an epiphany, and started seeing sound waves as three-dimensional.

“There’s an X, Y and Z axis to sound, a sphere with depth and texture,” he says.

On that note, our conversation delves

into the band’s “geeked-out curiosity” about the science of sound. “We’re continually educating ourselves,” says Matt. “Jabber about the physics of music, we’re always in on that conversation. There’s always something new to learn.”

“I like experimenting with the imagination of music,” Xander adds.

“Sometimes you mess up and you like it.

Experiment with those mistakes and you can write some pretty cool things. Do it once, it’s a mess up. Do it twice, it’s jazz.”

Orion leans in to show me a YouTube video on his iPhone, of what’s called cymatics. That’s when a substrate, sometimes referred to as a Chlandi Plate, is subject to audio frequencies (they pull out a 440 Hz—middle A—tuning fork, to show me an example), and liquid or granular objects like salt or sand scattered on top suddenly and stunningly arrange into intricate geometric shapes, not unlike crop circles. (In case you’re rolling your eyes, cymatics isn’t some sort of new-fangled hippiedippieness— physicist John Tyndall published diagrams of these patterns in 1869.)

As we continue, our discourse becomes littered with gestures and onomatopoeia.

As the band shares its insights, they become

both more exciting and clear and harder to convey. Xander briefly explains his idea for a music camp with one rule: no talking. Instead, all communication would happen instrumentally. It’s an innovative idea for a sound-meets-social experiment, and suggests these guys are bursting with outside-the-box notions.

But don’t take my word for it, go ahead and ask them yourself (after checking out one of their concerts, of course). I’m sure they’d be happy to engage in a discussion of sound, soul and science—onomatopoeia, gesture and all.

S

econd only to their bornand-bred home of West Virgina, BrownChicken BrownCow String Band finds solace and inspiration on Maui. If they remain more than a couple weeks in any other place, they say they “get antsy” (case in point: they’ve “crossed the U.S. five times in 10 months—six times if you count the airplanes”). They first ventured to the Valley Isle in September of 2008, a week after their first gig on the Mainland, and have toured here each winter since. When I say they’ve

got the schedule of whales, they laugh agreeably, adding, “and this is where we birth new ideas.”

So while Mauians can lay some claim to them and trust they’ll undoubtedly return, they won’t stay here perpetually. In fact, come February they’re off and away again for another worldwide whirlwind, “fueled by adventure, so to speak.” They’ve wrapped up their four-show Ice Cream Tour with Coconut Glen, so your only chances to see them now are at spontaneously planned gigs. Given their eccentric penchant for experimentation and the flexibility that acoustic instruments allow, you might find them anywhere from the bowels of a wine cave amidst antique sculptures to out on a catamaran in the middle of the ocean.

Don’t worry, though—MauiTime is making it easy for you. Check out BrownChicken, opening for the monsoon of sound that is Moth, at the January 7 Wailuku First Friday, helping us celebrate 13 years of independent media.

ere’s one of my favorite Hollywood stories: In 1994, writer/director James L. Brooks made a musical called I’ll Do Anything. Ever the risk-taker, Brooks shot the film as a song and dance fest and had stars Nick Nolte and Albert Brooks perform numbers written by Prince and Sinead O’Conner. A legendarily hostile preview screening led Brooks to cut out the musical bits and the film was released as a straight romantic comedy. You have to give the guy credit for taking a chance like that (and here’s hoping the director’s cut will one day surface!). More than anything, that story always makes me look forward to a James L. Brooks film.

His latest stars Reese Witherspoon as a softball player who is cut from her team and takes comfort in the arms of a baseball

player (Owen Wilson) with a reputation for being a ladies’ man. Meanwhile, fatherand-son business partners (Jack Nicholson and Paul Rudd) find their reputations going down in flames after a scandal hits their office. The two worlds eventually collide and a unique romantic triangle (or some other geometic shape) forms where, regardless of who ends up with whom, the result will be an odd, damaged pairing.

The dialogue is larger than life, obviously the work of a screenwriter but containing honesty and universal truths. I enjoy stylized and showy scripts, but some won’t buy it; like Quentin Tarantino, Brooks writes how we wish we could talk, not how we actually do.

Some scenes feel sitcom-y, especially Nicholson’s—his extended cameo is fun but he does more for the role than it does for him. Rudd perfects the adorable dweeb he has been playing for years and Wilson is funny as an alpha male who wants to settle down but struggles with monogamy.

Witherspoon certainly looks the part of a softball player (her extensive training shows) and the role is in line with the typically strong female leads Brooks has written in the

past, but this is one of Witherspoon’s most mannered performances; I liked her work but you can see her working really hard at it.

Some scenes feel sloppy and should have been cut, like a subplot involving Rudd’s loyal secretary. On the other hand, Nicholson should have been given more to do and it would have been nice to actually see footage of Wilson and Witherspoon playing the sports their characters are so

passionate about.

If this sounds like a negative review, it isn’t. This is all perfectly pleasant and entertaining—a fine date movie. It just doesn’t display much of the fearless bravado Brooks is capable of. In other words, it’s no Sinead O’Conner musical. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1429f

MauiTime is somewhere between celebrating our Bar Mitzvah and Quinceanera—frankly, we’ve discussed it ad nauseum and still aren’t sure (we journalists aren’t known for our mathematical prowess). All we know is we’ve got zits, maybe even a few peeking pubes, and it’s high time we EN celebrate our coming of age (whatever ICK H C WN OW RO N C age that might be). So for simplicity’s & BROW B sake, let’s say we’re 13 and that the day we’re bringing cupcakes to class is this Friday. Because just when you thought Wailuku First Friday couldn’t get any cooler, it’s our turn to hijack the headliner helm. And c’mon, after all this time together you know us well enough to know we’ve booked some of the best. The party starts with BrownChicken BrownCow String Band (see page 17 for more) at the Maui Thing stage, followed by dynamic duo Moth, who—in a manner of speaking—will strike a match to light our birthday candles. I’ve waxed poetic here and even in Kula Kid about the brewtiful beer garden, and WFF mainstays like Gallerie Ha’s Aloha Poetry Slam (8pm; this month, and the winner gets a medal) and Gene and Shea Argel outside Cafe O’Lei (5pm). Plus, this month’s extrafun fare includes Visibly Shaken at the Main Street Promenade and Head High at Wailuku Banyan Tree Park. 249-9710, 1stfridaywailuku@gmail.com

Green. If that’s a word you’ve heard so many times you’re about to become it, we understand. Not to belittle the importance of sustainability, but what good is the word if it’s not backed up with action? Enter Ho‘okele Wa‘a: Turning The Canoe: Navigating a Sustainable Future for Maui and the World, a film project by the Sustainable Living Institute of Maui (SLIM) at UH Maui College, and Maui Film Festival audience award-winner. The doc highlights the passionate efforts of our Valley Isle brethren who are joining forces to—as the title describes— change the direction of our long-adrift ship.

Narrated by Kapena Boyd with original music

by James “Kimo” West, the film was directed by Hawaii Islander Danny Miller, co-produced and written by Dr. Janet Six and produced by former SLIM executive director Alex de Roode.

We caught up with current SLIM e.d. Jennifer Chirico, who’s finishing up her Ph.D. in environmental policy and writing her dissertation about sustainability on remote islands.

“This film really highlights community involvement — and that idea of a collective is often left out of the definition of sustainability,” she says. “Being successful requires integrating all of its components, and it takes the community coming together to make it possible.”

I wonder if the prehistoric Nordic progenitors of skiing would ever have imagined that centuries into the future, their sticks-and-poles mode of transport would become the elite/extreme winter sport it is today? Unlikely—they were too busy munching filet de renne (i.e. Internet French for “reindeer tenderloin”). But they’d get it pretty quickly if they took in the work of Warren Miller, whose latest (and 61st!) film, Wintervention, which, per thre press releases, asks: “Do you have a skiing or snowboarding problem? Do you always have to take ‘just one more’ run? Do you sneak around your partner to get your powder fix?” My only problem isn’t with the drug insinuation, but the fact that this film will in no way curb your enthusiasm. No. This is your dealer’s dealer’s dealer—in high-definition— dangling in front of your face the chaseddragon caught and hung by its tail. Because in case you missed it, this is a Warren Miller film, and if you don’t know Warren Miller, you don’t know winter sports. So dear, deprived Mauians, check out this showcase of “skiers who sail from Argentina to Antarctic searching for some of the last untouched descents on Earth.” And if you’re ready to start dabbling...

Finally, Maui’s very own Fringe Festival cometh (a series of special one-acts, February 4-6 at the historic Iao Theater). But every inaugural event of such magnitude needs a little booster—and, baby, this boisterous benefit on Saturday night is it. Plus, it’s a fundraiser for beloved Mana‘o Radio 91.5FM. Question: How can you go wrong? Answer: You can’t.

For the paltry price of a couple five dollar footlongs (R.I.P. Pukulani Terrace’s Subway, BTW), you’ll not only be supporting performing arts on the isle, but enjoying an impressive, intermission-less blitz of badass entertainment. The list is long, so I’m gonna dish it straight: Marja Apisaloma of The New Project, singer/songwriter Joe Benedett, singer/songwriter Cyrus Clark, Kathy Collins of Mana‘o fame, The Comedy Hui, belly dancer Layla Katrina, Joel Katz of Jimmy Mac & The Kool Kats, slam poet Mountain, Murray Thorne of The Celtic Tigers, The Troublemakers Trio, Randall Rospond and the Ha’iku Hillbillys (whose hustle to make this event happen is most admirable), and Visions Conservatory Dance Group. Whew! Plus, get there early for a good seat (doors open at 7:30pm) and enjoy live piano by Klaus Simmer. Pre-sale tickets available at Simmer Style (Paia), Requests (Wailuku), and the Iao Theater box office. 242-6969; mauionstage.com, manaoradio.com

s ambition absurd when bare necessities are barely met?

Yes, I think. Yet somehow, sad, silly me still made a bevy of so-called resolutions with an irrational zeal deserving of a straight jacket. Instead of flossing and paying bills, I cranked up the volume and stayed up late into the waning thunderstruck hours of 2010, inhalanthigh off Sharpie fumes, lost in a flurry of 1,001 Post-its. Maniacally, I justified the wasted sleep and pulverized trees by convincing myself I was better for it because I was, this year, making more than mere mental note.

Wading through the 3x3 color-coded bits of blue, yellow and orange, I recently reviewed the wreckage.

Apparently, this year, I’m to learn a new instrument every month and write to you about how bad I am at it.

Hopefully, you’ll laugh a little—or at least not send hate mail—and I’ll make it through another column alive.

Apparently, I’m going to take every Akaku class offered and with those mad skills supplement our MauiTime stories with mini-documentaries so stunning, The Daily Show will be jealous. (In truth, if the introductory class does not sneak up so fast I miss it entirely, that will be a stunner unto itself.)

Apparently, my third-grade dream of shedding the big bag of rice that I lug around my opu will at long-last be realized. Moreover, the 30 pounds I gained since last June will be but a bad memory by next June. For the first time in my earthly existence I will go to the beach without hiding under a T-shirt and jeans. All this will be accomplished instantaneously by out-swimming Phelps each morning, jogging to Wailuku from Kula, finally returning to Iaijutsu (my cartoon is sword-brandishing, but I have not been) and eating nothing but strawberries and kale.

With those things checked off the list, John Safran will fall madly in love with me, David Sedaris will become my new best friend and I’ll have engaged in lengthy, philosophical correspondence with Captains Kirk, Picard and Archer—oh, and Agent Cooper from Twin Peaks, too.

Wow. Look at that crescendo of crazy. Lock me up and throw away the key. Threat level is elevated to A Clockwork Orange.

OK. So maybe there are the faintest granules of sanity that can be plucked out and polished into something reasonable. I should at least choose one. But seeing as we’re a week into 2011 and I’m already off to a

lackluster—if not utterly lame—start, I’m going to try to be real here (no more blaming Mercury).

Ah, there they are—the pink Post-its.

The retina-searing ones that you can see from space. (I knew I chose that color for a reason!) The ones with the important, practical things scrawled on them.

Written on the first one is “meeting deadlines.” As I write this, instant fail.

The second says “timely bill paying”— and whew, that’s a whole other can of worms. Then there’s “flossing,” and “no more McDonalds”, and “no smoking cigarettes” (er, well, not as often), and “if there’s no rest for the wicked—and you’re tired—stop being wicked,” and “call family every so often so they know I’m not daysdecomposing in some roadside ditch.”

Jeez. This whole “being realistic” thing feels a lot worse than being ridiculous. I shouldn’t have to write down the things that should be second nature—the things that normal people do normally.

T

his weekend, I asked a bunch of friends and strangers their New Year’s resolutions, and you know what they told me? Dance more.

Surf more. Breathe deeper. Read more books. Have more sex. Make more money. Be happier. And—the kicker—I have no resolutions. Really? Really? I mean that’s admirable and all, but am I the only one in another dimension?

OK. I’m going to meet deadlines and pay my bills and floss and eat good and sleep better and call my folks.

And I’m going to do everything I can to write better and be better for you, dear readers—instrument-a-month and mini-movies or no.

But I’ve got one last little crazy thing I’m going to cling to: That all y’all lie about your resolutions. (Sorry.

I love you—but I have to do this, for my sanity.) I’m going to have one last desperate hope that there are still simple things we all neglect and big impossible fantasies we love to roll around in our heads.

And in this Year of the Rabbit (well, almost—Chinese and Greogians, can we get it together here?), I’ll start with bunny steps. ■

HOROSCOPE

sign.language.astrology@gmail.com +

Sign Language CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Your attention span is relatively long. You can stick to one thing and see it concluded, whereas many need breaks, or are unable to finish at all. This can, naturally, be incredibly frustrating when you’re supposed to be working collaboratively with people who simply lack your work ethic or capabilities.

You’re left either waiting for them to catch up, or forging ahead anyway. Which you choose is up to you, but I can tell you what not to do: call them out. Being a team player means letting them get credit for work you did, or covering for them if you had to pick up the slack—and being that team player is more important right now than any other consideration.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Be grateful! Sometimes you get so caught up in the two things that are going wrong that you forget to notice, appreciate, and say thanks for the twenty-three things that are going more or less right. Want a sure-fire way to make shit go from bad to worse? Keep focusing on the couple negative things to the exclusion of all else, and failing to offer your gratitude to those around you for all they do manage to do right.

Downward spiral, here you come! Of course, it’s so easy to turn around—just make a special point of really noticing all the wonderful stuff that’s going on.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Waiting until things are right down to the wire is very exciting, and often leads to inspired leaps of resourcefulness and nearly miraculous improvisation. However, it can also spell disaster, or make you look really bad. This is one of those scenarios where you must weigh the risks, and on the other side of the scale measure the rewards of your procrastination. If the rewards don’t outweigh the risk, get off your ass and get things done with time to spare. On the other hand, if you’ve truly got better things to do, then any consequences you suffer as a result of your deadlinetaunting will be well worth it, won’t they?

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) You can be a bit snobbish, and that’s okay. No one’s perfect, and you, like everyone else, are free to choose who you want to associate with. However, when you start to project your snobbery on someone else, you’ve gone too far, both in assuming they share your values, and in not allowing them to form their own judgments and opinions. Bite your tongue, you catty thing! Let others draw their own conclusions. They may very well end up in the same place you are—your own opinions aren’t coming out of nowhere, after all. But if they don’t, just leave them be.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) You’re adorable, even if you’re not model-beautiful. Every Pisces has something eminently loveable about him or her.

That might be true about almost everyone on the planet, if you look hard enough, but for some reasons that quirky appeal is easier to spot on you. Work it. It’s your way in to whatever door you want opened. Of course, the first step to such a strategy is figuring out just what’s so cute about yourself. If you don’t already know, try to find out this week. Most Pisces, when they learn what others find most appealing about them, are truly surprised—but can’t deny such knowledge is a valuable source of power.

QUIZunderstood ANSWERS ...to questions on page 8

1. Alaska (1.2 residents per square mile) 2. Mitt Romney 3. Get a sun tan

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Assuming you have or will ever have kids, accepting them for whatever they turn out to be should be a no-brainer, even if it’s nothing like what you’d hoped for them. Of course, everyone knows parents who simply can’t put aside their own selfish desires to notice what’s wonderful about their surprising and unpredictable offspring. This is true of all kinds of progeny, not just the type that springs from your loins. Many vivid creations can evolve in unprecedented and astonishing directions; if you’re not too busy being selfish, controlling, or shortsighted, you’ll realize just how delightful that is.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) I rarely lose my temper, but when I do, I do it right. Man, it feels good—and it makes me feel most decidedly like one of you Rams. You’re actually some of the most laid-back people I know, but when you do get pissed off, everyone around you knows it. You certainly have no problem expressing it. I think that’s pretty healthy, most of the time. Becoming vexed about every little thing that goes wrong would be bad, but letting yourself be angry about the stuff that matters to you is better than repressing it. Unfortunately, not everyone knows that. If someone you know has trouble letting themselves go there this week, do what you can to help them along.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Drop the scales, Libra. Keeping tabs on everything that passes between you and those you know is not only exhausting, it’s pointless and counterproductive. I’m not just talking about vengeful payback when you’ve been wronged—in which case the wisest course is forgive and forget—but also feeling as if you must match the generosity you’re lucky enough to receive.

While it’s nice to be as generous as you can afford to be, you should under no circumstances feel any indebtedness when accepting a gift, which is surely offered without expectation of reciprocation; indeed, the givers would probably be appalled if they thought you felt so obligated.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) When in conflict with someone, you could charge in headlong and attempt to resolve it as swiftly and decisively as possible, or attempt to avoid that person altogether, or employ any number of strategies that fall somewhere in between these extremes. Weirdly enough, though—this isn’t about you.

When considering which tactic is best, mostly disregard your own personal feelings and figure out which resolution would minimize the negative impact of your disagreement on the innocent bystanders all around you, who really deserve such kind consideration more than either of you.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Once a gift’s given, it’s a terrible idea to ask for it back, no matter the circumstances. If you can’t truly let something go, you shouldn’t offer it in the first place. Naturally, keep that in mind for all future gifting—and get it in your head for all the stuff you’ve already given, and perhaps later regretted.

Don’t act on those regrets, no matter how powerful they are—and for someone as passionate as you are, that can be very powerful indeed. You want to create more of a problem or greater regrets? Try to take back something you’ve given?

Trust me, don’t go there.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) You’re not usually a control freak, but every once in a while that button gets pushed and suddenly it’s your way or the highway. Fortunately, this happens so rarely that people will usually either humor you or obey out of pure shock.

Just because it’s not especially common, however, doesn’t mean it’s not something you should work on, especially because once in a while it could make people uncomfortable or downright angry—like this week. Ironically, your lack of control issues has made you less adept at quietly dealing with them when they do crop up. Nevertheless, that’s your challenge this week.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC.21) You’re so confident and strong that you can sometimes conveniently forget about moments of weakness you’ve suffered in your past, or admit them to anyone else. However, this is depriving yourself of a great source of that very strength you’re so proud of possessing, as well as needlessly keeping secret something valuable and insightful from those you love. Your truly low moments—and the way you moved past and through them—are something special. If you can think of them as gifts you give to the people you adore, they will be exactly that.
