[ Coconut Wireless ] HYPER LOCAL It happened! It really happened!

Sound the trumpets and commence the revelry! I’m talking, as you’ve no doubt guessed, about the long-awaited Kealia Pond boardwalk, which opened to the public last week.

I didn’t honestly believe it until I drove down myself and saw actual people walking on the thing. Of course, people have been walking on it illegally for years, but, you know, now the “closed” sign is gone, so—yay!

From concept to functionality, it took a mere 15 years. That’s only a shade more than the 10 years it took to dig the Panama Canal or the seven years it took to complete the Holland Tunnel or the four years it took to build the Golden Gate Bridge or…what?

I’m just sayin’… I mentioned this a few months ago, but in keeping with this week’s feature and the upcoming Lahaina Town Clean Up, I’m gonna mention it again: 1.69 billion pounds. That’s the weight of the cigarette butts that are tossed on the ground worldwide each year, according to an estimate published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. A trip to almost any of Maui’s beaches or parks shows Valley Isle smokers are contributing their share. Last time I wrote about this, it was to laud the efforts of local fifth grader Teak McAfee, who started a Web site (buttsoffmauisbeaches. com) to raise awareness about the issue. Now, apparently, she’s caught the attention of Councilmember Wayne Nishiki, who is considering proposing a ban. I spoke with his office and was told the effort is still in the early stages and nothing has been solidified, but the fact that it’s on the radar is a positive sign. Nice work, Teak…

LOCAL Hawaii’s Keiki Care program has been used by opponents of public health care (particularly a certain cable network named after a carnivorous canid) as an example of how government-run plans are doomed to fail. Offering a different take is a new report from the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families (CCF) titled “Weathering the

Storm.” The report focuses on efforts to improve or maintain children’s health coverage despite the downturn; the rosy conclusion is that all but three states (Arizona, California and Wyoming) are doing OK. In the section on Hawaii, the report specifically cites Keiki Care and mentions that the legislature approved funding for the program and overrode Gov. Lingle’s veto (though Lingle has said she won’t release the money). Of course, considering the tenor of this debate, the other side will no doubt dismiss CCF as liberal socialist Nazis bent on handing flag-sewing and apple pie-baking duties off to government bureaucrats, while the hope for a reasoned debate on the pros and cons of Keiki Care or any other health care option slinks into the corner to die a quiet, lonely death. And, as ever, the winner will be the insurance companies, and the loser will be everyone else… First, Hawaii voters passed a medical marijuana law.

Next, the state legislature passed a bill that would create a task force to study that law, which by all accounts is fraught with problems and inconsistencies (see Maui Time contributor Greg Mebel’s December 2008 report “Is Marijuana Medicine?”). Then Gov. Lingle said: nope, not gonna happen. Even though the legislature overrode her veto, as with Keiki Care she says she won’t approve the funds, according to a Honolulu Advertiser report. Besides half-baked excuses about budget constraints (lawmakers say the task force would not come with a significant price tag), Lingle’s main argument against having a medical marijuana law—or even studying one—is federal prohibition.

That’s bull for a variety of reasons. First, there’s this 2004 quote, which we’ve used against her before but that’s worth re-using: “Throughout my political career, I’ve believed in the concept of home rule. Some call it local control.

Whichever phrase you use, the concept is the same—the best decisions are those made closest to those who will be impacted by the decisions.” Second, and more importantly, there’s the fact that Attorney General Eric Holder has unambiguously stated he won’t prosecute medical marijuana patients and providers who are following state law—an ironically Republican position that runs counter to the gung-ho War on Drugs policy of the Bush Administration. When do we get a new governor again?… Cutbacks, layoffs and closures abound—you can’t consume media of any kind (or even have a conversation with someone) without being slapped by some bit of gloomy economic news. But certain stories hit you extra hard: The Honolulu

The madness continues.

Academy of Arts is, un-shockingly, struggling with funding woes. Here are two measures the museum is taking, according to an AP report: “charging school groups admission [and] closing its lending collection indefinitely.” Cultural enrichment, sadly, is a luxury, and one of those things we don’t miss ’til it’s gone…

NOT LOCAL So I’m going to start by talking about Kanye West’s little stunt at the Video Music Awards, which is completely silly, then segue into Twitter, which is sort of silly and end up pondering the nature of the news business, which is how I’m going to justify the whole thing. Here’s what happened: While preparing for an interview with CNBC, President Obama reportedly called Kanye a “jackass” for stealing the spotlight from Best Female

Video winner Taylor Swift. Though the official interview hadn’t started, Obama was miked and the comment was picked up by ABC News’s Washington bureau, which shares a fiber optic line with CNBC (“to save money” according to an AP report). The ABC peeps—including Terry Moran, who took Ted Koppel’s job on Nightline—then blasted the remark out via Twitter and the genie was officially out of the bottle. Various pundits have used the incident to illustrate the power of micro-blogging and to debate the changing face of journalistic ethics.

But in the end there’s only one lesson to be gleaned from this, for politicians, celebrities and the rest of us: nothing is ever truly off the record. MTW To share or save this article, type: mt.smub.it/coconut9

NEWS & VIEWS [ Rob Report ]

Grid Lock Energy Expo generates hope, reveals obstacles to implementing renewables “What we have now is not a plan; it is a series of recommendations. We need a master plan.” - Wayne Axelson, Chair, Maui County Energy Alliance Working Group-3 (Energy and Transportation Infrastructure)

T

he 2009 Maui County Energy Expo—“Our Energy Future; Concept to Reality”—convened last week. The event, which brought together experts in various fields, highlighted recommendations gleaned over the past 16 months by five volunteer working groups of the Maui County Energy Alliance.

Ironically, the venue was the same as the first Energy Expo, held in November 2007: the Grand Wailea Hotel & Spa, second-largest energy consumer of all Maui Electric Company’s customers.

Nevertheless, an enthusiastic audience filled the resort’s Haleakala Ballroom to hear Mayor Tavares and her invitees present both the promise and the pitfalls of Hawaii’s renewable energy future. Despite a somewhat selfcongratulatory tone, there was enough critical data and analysis provided to allow the discerning listener to take home valuable insights on how to reboot our local energy economy and electrical grid.

Democratizing power Ted Liu, Director of the Hawaii Department of Business,

Economic Development, and Tourism, offered introductory comments, emphasizing Maui’s pivotal role in Hawaii’s energy future. He noted that national press has recognized Hawaii as a leading incubator of renewable energy, that Maui is rich in renewable resources, even geothermal, and that “Maui is a critical linchpin of the effort” to develop a new electrical grid distribution system.

“We are entering an era of unprecedented opportunity,” said Liu, “and unprecedented alliance.” He touched upon the plan to tap into as much as 300-400 megawatts of wind power on Lanai and Molokai, and to transmit that energy to Oahu via an interisland undersea cable.

But keynote speaker Henk Rogers of Blue Planet Foundation followed Liu’s remarks by saying that Gov. Lingle’s Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI) is heavily dependent on the concept of the undersea transmission cable. “That choice can only come with buy-in from the communities,” said Rogers. “It cannot be dictated from Honolulu.”

Rogers, who made a fortune developing and licensing the video game Tetris, shared the most interesting presentation of the two-day conference. He used the “show and tell” image capabilities of PowerPoint more effectively than all the other text-heavy offerings.

Rogers said the state had studies and a plan as far back as 1974 to get us off fossil fuel by 2010. He even cited a letter to the editor from a 1902 edition of the Honolulu Advertiser, suggesting that Oahu’s strong Pali winds could provide cheap electrical power. “We simply forgot the importance of what was before us,”

You can’t see it, but that’s an electric car back there. he said. “Other crises commanded the public’s attention.”

Rogers has set a goal—actually his stated “mission in life” after a heartattack wake-up call—of ending carbonbased fuels within a decade. This is even more ambitious than the 70 percent renewable energy by 2030 goal of the Governor’s HCEI. Rogers foresees a new role for utilities: power distributors, not power producers.

He likened an emerging “smart grid” to the Internet, which has the ability to both send and receive information. He compared the current electrical delivery system to televisions in the 1950s—only a small handful of stations available, and for

“Democratizing our power in Hawaii,” said Rogers, “will involve putting power in our democracy.” He called for transformative change, including energy storage systems for when electricity isn’t flowing, and new paradigms for transportation. Ultimately, he said, we are striving for, “Not just sustainability, but survivability. Blue Planet Foundation wants to bring together the best of us and catalyze revolutionary change.”

Giving our leaders a blueprint Five volunteer working groups were invited to join the Maui County

BY ROB PARSONS ROBPARSONS@EARTHLINK.NET

LC Watch Closing time

Energy Alliance beginning in May 2008, and to offer recommendations in these categories: Renewable Resource Development; Green Workforce Development; Energy and Transportation Infrastructure; Energy Efficiency and Conservation; and Greenhouse Gases and Carbon Emissions.

County Energy Commissioner Victor Reyes introduced the panel of working group chairs, noting that “energy efficiency and conservation is a virtual power plant.” That would turn out to be a recurring theme in the priority recommendations of the five groups.

tariffs docket (an incentive mechanism to set above-market rates for utilities to purchase renewables from independent producers), de-coupling (adjusting a utility’s profit-making so it’s not simply tied to more energy production) and smart grid (integrating digital capabilities into a two-way electrical network). “The list is too long,” said Caliboso.

Given the complexity of each of the dockets—and the fact that the three-man PUC also reviews matters regarding telecommunications, water and transportation utilities—it’s a wonder they’re able to make any progress

Keynote speaker Henk Rogers said Hawaii had studies and a plan as far back as 1974 to get us off fossil fuel by 2010. “We simply forgot the importance of what was before us,” he said.

A call was made for energy efficiency audits for all County facilities, and for the County to set an example with installation of on-site renewables wherever possible.

Suggestions ranged from simple things like carpooling to adding more solar photovoltaic and improving County water and wastewater infrastructure (as pumping requires large energy inputs).

While the laundry list of recommendations is impressive (see a full 128-page report at mauicounty.gov/index. aspx?nid=1439), one audience questioner said the entire process had a “top-down” feel, and wished that there could have been more community interaction and meetings in places “such as Hana and Haiku, not just at the Grand Wailea.”

But panelists defended the process, and Planning Commissioner Jonathan Starr cautioned, “Don’t diminish the value of what’s happening here.” Added Maui Economic Opportunity head Sandy Baz, “We need to give our leaders a blueprint and initiative.”

The big bottleneck: Public Utilities Commission One panel discussion, Regulatory Opportunities and Challenges, allowed a glimpse into the enormity of the policymaking challenges faced by the Public Utilities Commission. Chair Carlito Caliboso elaborated upon a few of the many dockets before the PUC, some with as many as 20 intervening parties.

He noted, among others, the feed-in

at all. Panelist and environmental consultant Carl Freedman displayed a graph showing that Hawaii is dead last in allocating regulatory staff for states of equivalent size. And, in this time of budgetary constraints, it’s hard to imagine the PUC getting the additional staff, resources and funding that might make it more effective.

Freedman also noted that the Consumer Advocate’s office—which advises the PUC but has sometimes been accused of being more of a utility advocate than working on behalf of ratepayers—is similarly understaffed. He said the “new paradigm” for Hawaiian Electric Company, of being incentivized with cost recovery for a smart grid, is “a movie that hasn’t been made yet. We have no screenplay or budget.”

Mayor Tavares urged moving forward quickly. “We’re not going to wait for a partner to come to us,” she said, “we’re going to move ahead.” Yet, she cautioned against merely jumping on the “REBW (renewable energy bandwagon).”

Tavares said she dreams of Maui becoming a testing site and training ground for renewable energy, a vision she said is shared by the Maui Economic Development Board. But, she added, “We’re far, far away from reality. We must crawl before we learn how to walk.

We’re in the crawling stage.” MTW

Energy Fast Facts •

The Maui Electric Co. (MECO) generating station at Maalaea burns more than 1 million gallons of petroleum diesel weekly.

A 1977 state Senate report showed that Hawaii’s 96 percent dependence on imported oil was costing $500 million yearly. In 2005, two UH economists estimated that $3 billion was leaving the state to purchase fossil fuels for electricity and transportation needs. In 2009, the projected estimate for imported petroleum, gas, coal and ethanol is $8-9 billion.

The MECO grid currently demands 210 megawatts daily. That number is projected to rise to 310MW by 2020.

In 2007, 15.4 percent of MECO’s sales were from renewables (wind, solar, hydro and biomass).

MECO has 443 solar photovoltaic customers, providing a combined 2.94MW of power to the grid.

Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar (HC&S) fuels its Puunene mill boilers by combusting cane fiber (bagasse), coal and waste recycled oil, selling an average excess of 12MW of energy to MECO. In 2008, HC&S burned 475,000 tons of bagasse and 95,000 tons of coal.

In the years we’ve covered the LC, we’ve never seen anyone look happy to appear before the Adjudication Board. But since the recession hit, business owners have been especially jumpy. It’s understandable: the board can revoke a liquor license for any offense.

If an establishment is small and relies primarily on alcohol sales, that’s the same as being shut down outright.

Or not, if you believe Adjudication Board Chair Donald Fujii.

At the September 3 hearing, the board was considering the case of Pacific Fish Market in Kahului, which was caught in a minor decoy sting on March 29. Representing the company, a store manager told the board that sales have dropped 30-50 percent since the downturn.

He said they applied for a liquor license in November 2008 hoping to boost sales, and that by taking it away the LC would, in effect, force them to close.

“We’re not in the business of closing anybody at any time,” Fujii replied.

Whether he was being defensive, reassuring or some combination of the two was unclear. What is clear: that statement shows a total disregard for the power the board wields.

This being a first offense, Pacific Fish Market predictably received a $2,000 fine, $1,000 suspended. But the board does revoke licenses.

Most recently, they pulled the plug on Kahului’s Hang Loose Lounge in February. (The place is open again under different ownership.)

Hang Loose was busted three times for selling to a minor decoy. Four strikes in five years triggers an automatic revocation, so the board can’t lean on the “we had no choice” defense.

They could argue Hang Loose deserved it.

Some might agree. But they can’t, with a straight face, say they’ve never closed anybody.

Or, apparently, they can.

[ News of the Weird ] LASHING OUT The pharmaceutical company Allergan has introduced eyelashthickener Latisse, a $120 per month prescription “medication” to help a woman overcome feelings of inadequacy if she suffers from scrawny lashes. Alternatively, eyelash transplants are now available in the U.S. and Britain, originally developed to restore lashes for burn victims but, according to the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, now to market to women dissatisfied with their own (at about $6,000). And in May, Washington, D.C., resident Brian Peterkin-Vertanesian petitioned the Guinness Book to recognize “Wally,” his 6 3/8-inch eyebrow hair as the world’s longest, beating the current record by almost an inch.

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? With no help from Verizon Wireless, law enforcement agencies managed to hunt down a disturbed, 62-year-old man sought in an 11-hour manhunt following a domestic violence call in Carrollton, Ohio, in May. Deputies had wanted to use the man’s cell phone signal to locate him, but the company had shut off his service over an unpaid $20 bill and refused to turn it on, even for a few minutes, unless deputies paid the $20. The sheriff was reluctantly about to pay when deputies found the man.

BIG PUSSY In June, in Ana Lee Spray’s garage in Riverside County, Calif., a full-grown mountain lion was cornered and held at bay for 45 minutes by Spray’s three Chihuahuas, yapping at it relentlessly. Eventually, animal control officers arrived and removed the grateful lion.

ANY REQUESTS? Two musician-beggars in the

village of Moseley, England, were banned from performing in the area in August after a magistrate court heard complaints by desperate residents that the pair played only two songs—Oasis’s “Wonderwall” and George Michael’s “Faith”—over and over and over.

A LACK OF SUPPORT In August, Democrat Michael Heagerty failed by one name to meet the ballot requirements to run for re-election to the city council in Syracuse, N.Y. He was credited with 334 of the 335 necessary signatures, but realized too late that he had forgotten to list his own name. (He said he would run for re-election, anyway, as an independent.)

INCOMPETENT CRIMINALS Two home invaders in East St. Louis, Ill., holding 11 people hostage as police surrounded the house, were eventually tricked outside by the captives and arrested. The hostages, borrowing an idea from several movie scripts, convinced the invaders that their only shot at freedom was to change clothes to look less conspicuous and then to release everyone.

The two would appear to be part of the hostage group, and the hostages “promised” to tell police that the home invaders had already escaped earlier. However, as everyone walked out, the captives merely pointed out to police the two invaders.

OOPS! In last week’s dining piece, “Gridiron Grinds,” we incorrectly said Kahale’s in Kihei is serving steak and eggs on Sundays. They do, however, still have drinks, fried items and, most importantly, football. Also, in our recent Taste of Maui issue, we indicated that Pacific‘o in Lahaina is offering a half-off special.

By Anu Yagi

etween the grooves of the knotted root system of a thick, shady tree at Launiupoko Beach Park, Matt Lane is resting comfortably. It’s the first time we’ve sat all day. He picks up a wandering roly poly and jovially reminisces about boyhood days spent chasing bugs in Oklahoma. He prods gently at the isopod, attempting to get it to do the thing that earned it its name—to no avail.

Rather, the little guy seems content to crawl around on his hand, unperturbed.

It just may be Lane’s comfortable style that puts critters—and people—at ease. I gather he’s the type who can become fast friends with most anyone—a trait that bodes well for a man who has plunged deep into the heart of the community he’s called home for the last seven years, in an effort to bring together people from every demographic to unite under a common cause.

Even when flitting between phone calls and messaging, he’s patient, mellow and engaging—the measured pace of his cadence unexpectedly incongruous, considering the daunting schedule he’s worked himself into, wearing many hats as a community event planner, concert promoter and server.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2009

Though composed, Lane is relentless in his passion for Maui, an uncommon quality in young, typically transient transplants. More than talk, his actions speak powerfully.

Case in point: this Saturday marks the fifth installment of one of Lane’s pet projects, the annual Lahaina Town Clean Up. Gathering impressive momentum and support since the event’s inception in 2005, Lane has been working tirelessly to include more sponsors, activities and of course, volunteers. Last year, more than 300 volunteers came out. Some 500 people are expected to participate this year.

The event will ambitiously tackle the scope of Lahaina Town, from where we sit at Launiupoko all the way to Canoes Restaurant at the curved tail end of Front St. At first it was just a beach clean up, but the event has expanded in recent years to include both harbors and the town at large—everything from divers harvesting underwater trash to a finetoothed sweep of the coastal stretch from the shoreline to the makai side of Honoapiilani Highway. The effort even includes the entirety of Lahainaluna Road, thanks to strong representation

from the students of Lahainaluna High.

“The cleanup took on a life. There are kids who have been doing it for four years now, from freshmen to seniors,” says Lane, who puts particular effort into making the events educational and creating a long-lasting impact. art of the Ocean Conservancy’s 24th annual International Coastal Cleanup—an impressive coalition of thousands of grassroots campaigns throughout 100-plus countries, which removed an estimated 6.8 million pounds from beaches and waterways last year alone—the Lahaina Town Clean Up aligns itself with international goals to “engage people to remove trash and debris from the world’s beaches and waterways, identify sources of debris, and to change behaviors that cause marine debris in the first place.”

Lane is weighting this year’s educational topics heavily toward the issues of consumerism and waste and is training team leaders (orchestrated by one of Lane’s many good friends, Kepa Niles) to educate participants about how our current habits impact the environment.

P

Before our rest under the tree, Lane and I trudge through debris-ridden sand at Kamehameha Iki Park adjacent to 505 Front Street. The area near the canoe hales will serve as cleanup headquarters, thanks to hosts Hui O Wa‘a Kaulua. We stop to poke around underneath one particular tree near the ocean that seems to be a vortex for collecting waste. Last year, Lane recalls over 1,000 cigarette butts were pulled from the sand immediately under that one tree, along with a frightening array of garbage fragments.

As we walk, Lane discusses the energy, resources and human rights issues associated with, say, a small electronic gadget: first there’s the raw materials involved, then the extensive, fuel-consuming global journey the parts and packaging must take and finally the product’s arrival at stores where (underpaid) salespeople work to sell these cheap items to patrons who are ill-informed about the consequences of their consumption. “[Things are] fast. People aren’t always concerned about how we’re living,” says Lane. “I didn’t always think about these things. Now, every day of my life I’m thinking of it. Do I really need this?

Maybe it is better to save and spend a little more on things you’ll keep longer.”

Building on the topic of consumerism, one particularly interesting activity at this year’s event will be an evening screening of the 30-minute version of the documentary Fuel. The film explores U.S. dependence on

people like Rae Chandler of the Community Work Day Program.

“I walk down the street and feel so passionate—[Maui is] the toughest place I’ve ever lived, but also the most rewarding,” says Lane. Though overwhelmingly positive and vision-driven, Lane is candid

Interspersed throughout the film is commentary from celebrity activists like Sheryl Crow, Larry Hagman and a personal favorite with a local connection, Woody Harrelson.

Following the screening, a celestial presentation and guided stargazing will be lead by Kala Baybayan, integrating cultural relevance into the event, a matter of importance to Lane and event partners,

about the logistical stresses of pro-bono event planning, not to mention the trials we all share surviving island life.

“I’ve learned so much about myself living here—it all goes back to being humble,” he continues. umility is indeed one of Lane’s most winning qualities, a part of the easy-going affability that has won him abundant friends and supporters—all of whom he talks about pro-

H

fusely, how they’re contributing, why they’re “really cool.”

He’s squeamish during the Maui Time beach photo shoot, and even more uneasy when he picks up on the fact this story may take a slightly personal-interest tone. He repeatedly asks that I not detract from “what’s important—the event,” and keeps talking up the long list of businesses and individuals who are pouring time, resources and passion into making this event a success.

Regardless of how much he insists the effort is collaborative—which it undoubtedly is—the leadership factor cannot be denied. It takes a charismatic and passionate orchestrator to bring together so many elements and details.

Perhaps the best testament to Lane’s magnetism is that it’s impossible to spend a moment with him without bumping into someone he knows. Not just someone he knows, but someone he knows well and has obvious heartfelt rapport with. In the day I spent with him, as we explored various key shoreline sites and some of the businesses supporting the cleanup, we encountered nothing short of a constant rotation of enthusias-

tic characters, running the gamut of backgrounds (still-dripping surfers straight out of a session, business owners attending to their shops, partners like Niles and Nestor Ugale, Jr.).

“Maybe I’m good at bringing people together,” Lane admits. “And maybe if I’m good at that, that’s what I should do.

I just want to be really, really happy.”

I laugh when he says that last part, standing at the crosswalk at Launiupoko in the fading light. Don’t we all? For Lane, it’s community projects like the Lahaina Town Clean Up that bring him joy, and consequently bring joy to others—roly polys and people alike. MTW

A meal with one entrée plus rice or naan (leavened flat-bread) is $7; you can get two entrées for $9 or three for $12.

Entrées include grilled meats, curries and veggie dishes. I opted for the chicken tikka masala, chunks of boneless chicken in a thick, tangy sauce made of tomatoes, onions, garlic and a hint of ginger. It’s rich and flavorful, but mild enough for the spice-averse. An order of two samosas—flaky pastries stuffed with lightly spiced potatoes and peas—proved a perfect complement. Items I’m excited to sample next time include the tandoori chicken and the garlic naan.

So come on—show support, Maui.

The restaurant was originally developed by Oahu’s Auntie Pasto’s restaurants, then it was Vietnamese joint, Lemongrass. The footprint is large and unfettered; sit up at the bar or grab a booth. Adding to the authenticity are the waitresses’ uniforms—very viva la Mexico with ruffled, brightly colored skirts.

Scholarly pursuits How a Hawaii-born Filipino boy crashed Seattle’s hip-hop scene “

F

irst and foremost I do have a story to tell. It’s my own story, my individual story, but it’s not so individual that no one can relate to it,” says MC Geologic (aka George Quibuyen). Quibuyen and DJ Sabzi (aka Saba Mohjerjasbi) comprise the Seattle-based hip-hop duo Blue Scholars, which since 2002 has been steadily stirring up nationwide buzz.

The video for “HI 808,” the first single off their latest EP, Oof! hit number one on mtvU.com, ahead of artists like Jay-Z and Shakira.

Lyrically, the track pays homage to Quibuyen’s Hawaii roots: a Filipino boy whose father was in the Navy, he grew up on Oahu during the 80s.

“In fact, my experience mirrors a lot of people’s—military kids, kids from working class backgrounds, kids of color, kids who grew up interacting with all diverse backgrounds of people,” Quibuyen says, as we discuss the political commentary he infuses into his rhymes. This latest release touches on Hawaiian hot topics like immigration and sovereignty.

“In a place like America where issues of identity are a daily occurrence, there are internal contradictions I go through, things in my life that I want to tell,” he explains. “But all the art I create, whether it be music or whatnot, I think is half the question.

“I think there’s a time for music to entertain, to educate, to do both at the same time, and I realize the potential of both,” he continues. “First and foremost, [I] just want to be honest. Be honest about where I come from because that’s what I appreciate in any art that I myself enjoy.”

Quibuyen stresses that there are “always contradictions.” He says maintaining ties to one’s heritage is important, but so is being honest about history. “One thing that does tie us all together is that legacy of colonialism in our homelands that have kind of displaced us, while at the same time we still all got folks back at the places that we call home,” he says. “So it’s almost like a necessity. You could choose to assimilate and abandon all that stuff and pretend [you’re] another cog in the American machine. Or, you can

acknowledge these things and with that acknowledgment comes at least some sort of responsibility. To be aware first of all, and beyond that hopefully be inspired by that awareness to do something about it, whatever it is you do.”

Q

uibuyen’s Filipino heritage has ignited a lot of pride in others of the same ethnic descent (myself included)—particularly amongst younger generations, as evidenced in

like you see anybody on TV that’s ethnically ambiguous and you’re like, ‘Oh, she’s gotta be Filipino or he’s Filipino and all these rumors circulate. And what’s dope is like these rumors are now like its true. A lot of really talented people in our community are really making a name for themselves out there.”

Before the interview, I’d planned on taking my usual lighthearted, semi-irrelevant approach; I wanted to ask about his favorite Filipino desserts (eh, da County Fair is coming up and I’ll sometimes go just for the cascarone), but we never make it there. Our conversation instead circles around our Pacific Islander heritage, themes of displacement and the contrast of growing up in Hawaii and moving to the mainland (again, a popular refrain in “HI 808”).

“One hand, it’s a lot more complicated than we sometimes acknowledge,”

the bottom line. The ownership of the land, the collective rights and ownership of the land, is the most paramount thing.”

Quibuyen extends these concepts beyond our cultural connection, particularly making the correlation with his scholar in crime, Mohjerjasbi, who Quibuyen often references. “[We] come from very different backgrounds and upbringing—on the surface,” he says. “[You’ve got] a Filipino kid who grew up in Hawaii and moved to Seattle [joining] with a half-white, half-Iranian guy who lives in the suburbs of Seattle.”

But, Quibuyen says, he and Mohjerjasbi have “been able come together and meet halfway both musically [and] in our value systems, principals and attitudes—towards the music and towards society in general.”

The power of that unlikely but undeniable connection is the message Quibuyen says Blue Scholars wants to convey.

W

MC Geologic, left, and DJ Sabzi have blended cultures and styles. feedback on YouTube from high schoolaged kids who, happily discovering the Blue Scholars, proclaim “Proud to be Filipino!”—in what Quibuyen calls “a long time coming for a lot of us,” whereas prior, “(People) know that we exist, but not enough to feel like anybody besides us really knows who we are, you know? As far as we look on TV and there’s nobody that looks like us, entertaining us…. To the point where any 80’s Filipino baby can relate to growing up and playing that whole game where

Quibuyen says. “Sometimes we don’t even bother to have conversations like this with each other, sometimes we don’t bother to have the conversation with ourselves—what our whole identity, consciousness or history means.

“I think even more so than overt racism from the colonizer, [what’s] even more problematic is the internalization of our own history, our own self-image that’s imposed on us that we accept—the aspect of history and development of our own homeland. And the word ‘land,’ I think, is

hile our conversation was a touch heavy, Oof! is in many ways a colorful departure from the Scholars’ previous work, which was colder and more urban.

“We started traveling, touring—[it’s] a whole different energy when you kind of get out of the lab, out of the studio and start meeting people having new experiences, rocking live shows,” says Quibuyen. “All that energy was creating a new type of music that was more uptempo, [but] still very much ‘us.’

“The sound we’d already started heading towards was not just a sound, but a sound married some sort of concept—a time, a place—and for me as a lyricist, an experience to match the texture of the sound. It was constantly going back and forth. It was completely unforced on our part and the main thing was going back to our roots of how me and Sabzi started the group—to have fun with the music.

There’s always going to be a message ’cause that’s who we are, but you know first and foremost it’s gotta be fun.”

Yes, undeniably, the Blue Scholars’ music is fun, as are Quibuyen’s unabashedly intellectual musings. And their show at The Cellar will undoubtedly be fun, too—for folks of any background, any story. MTW

Tyler Perry’s movies are growing on me, as is Madea, the obnoxious, geriatric nightmare of a Grandma that Perry himself has played in both his films and the stage plays they’re based on. I wrote off Perry’s first movie, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, but was surprised by how good 2007’s Why Did I Get Married? was. Perry’s skill as a director is growing, his films are becoming more ambitious and dealing with genuinely edgy material and even Madea, dismissed initially as a Big Momma’s House clone, is becoming funnier.

His latest stars Taraji P. Henson as an alcoholic lounge singer with a disastrous love life and a self-defeating attitude. When her three troubled nieces and nephews are left at her doorstep, she has to deal with newfound responsibility, keep her cheating bully of a boyfriend happy and figure out what her priorities need to be.

Perry’s films share similar flaws: mawkish melodrama, stereotyping, heavy-handed staging and in-yourface Christian messages that work fine for Perry’s core audience but may make others uncomfortable.

But if you can set that aside, you’ll be rewarded with rousing musical numbers (Mary J. Blige brings the house down with the title song), powerful performances, especially from the female cast members, and a wellpaced, dramatically satisfying plot.

I’m starting to get burnt out on all the 3-D movies that have hit theaters this year, but really, I can’t complain about cheeseburgers falling from the sky. That spectacle, which occurs early in this CGI children’s book adaptation, is one of many scenes where junk food rains down on hundreds of grateful people (warning: may cause repeat visits to the snack bar).

The plot: a brilliant but hopelessly nerdy scientist (voice of Bill Hader) invents a machine that turns water into anything edible, leading candy-colored clouds to drop enormous piles of food on the small town of Chew and Swallow.

The pace is frantic, a lot of the best jokes go by too quickly and I found myself enticed by the story’s big gimmick but not caring about any of the characters. However, all of the voice actors do well; the show-stealer is probably the town’s overzealous, back-flipping super cop, voiced by a brilliantly cast Mr. T. There’s also James Caan, Anna Farris, Neil Patrick Harris and Bruce Campbell but really, you’re here to see a giant pancake crush a building.

The 3-D effects are fun and make this worth seeing in that format. Watching it without the glasses would be missing out on the spectacular climax, a cross between Star Wars, Independence Day and The Food Network. MTW

Heh heh) is the owner of a thriving flavor extract company, earning him the title “Extract King.” His small business success aren’t enough to quell the sexual frustrations he has with his wife Suzie (Kristen Wiig), so he hatches a plan to hire a gigolo (guised as the classic pool boy) to seduce Suzie--leaving him open to the guiltfree pursuit of his new, big-boobied employee Cindy (Mila Kunis). Con-artist Cindy, on the verge of parole revocation, has little interest in Joel, and instead has sights her set on convincing fellow employee Step (Clifton Collins, Jr.) to sue Joel for millions (and cash in herself) after Step loses one of his family jewels in factory accident. 91 min.

FINAL DESTINATION 4 - R- Horror - Nick O’Bannon (Bobby Campo) has a bloody premonition that he and his friends will die in a horrible accident at the racetrack. He acts on intuition, convincing his honey bunny and friends to come with him, and they do indeed skirt death. However, happily-everafter it is not. All bound to a fate six feet under, the homies he saved nevertheless kick the bucket, and O’Bannon struggles, knowing he’s next. 96 min.

G-FORCE - G - Animation - Zack Galifiankis and Will Arnett are among the cast members

BY ANU YAGI CALENDAR@MAUITIME.COM

supplying voices to a squad of guinea pigs who have been sent on a mission to stop an evil billionaire from taking over the world. 86 min. [Kate Bradshaw] GAMER - R - Sci-Fi - Think Death Race (2008) meets eXistenZ (1999), with a dash of Ludacris and Leguizamo. The year is 2034, and mind-control technology is all the rage. The latest controversial installment, ‘Slayer’--a FPS game created by evil billionaire recluse, Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall)--uses human prisoners as avatars in massive death matches controlled by online gamers. Kable (Gerald Butler), forcibly imprisoned and made to fight against his will, has achieved hero status by surviving 27 games while controlled by young hotshot, Simon (Logan Lerman). If Kable survives 30 games, he wins his freedom. Hmm... Think he’ll take the revenge-less route or rage against the machine? 95 min.

G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA - PG13 Action - A super-elite team of international military operatives battle the evildoer organization Cobra, with high tech weapons the likes of which you probably never dreamed while playing with your Hasbro toys in the sandbox. This flashy new rendition’s sandy battlefield is, not surprisingly, a North African desert. 120 min.

THE HURT LOCKER - R - Drama - Staff Sergeant Will James (Jeremy Renner) steps in as the new tech team leader of the elite Bravo Company bomb disposal unit in Baghdad, after their former leader is killed by a remote-detonated improvised explosive device (IED). James clashes with subordinates Sergeant JT Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) and Specialist Owen Eldridge (Brian Geraghty) who consider his thrill-seeking, relentless focus on disarmament a reckless endangerment to the team and innocent civilians. 131 min.

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS - R- Drama - True to his cinema lust style, director Quentin Tarantino brings us a WWII flick that’s all multigenre infused fantasy—but supposedly even enjoyable for the die-hard historian, despite creative-license inaccuracies. Brad Pitt plays Lt. Aldo Raine, leader of “The Basterds,” a guerilla group who revengefully scalp Nazi’s in an effort to strike fear into the hearts of the Third Reich. 149 min.

JULIE & JULIA - PG13 - Comedy - Writer/director Nora Ephron intertwines the lives of famed TV chef Julia Child (Meryl Streep) and at-wits-end New York professional Julie Powell (Amy Adams), in a two-scoop adaptation of their respective bestselling memoirs. Things get tastily tricky when Powell, on the eve of her 30th birthday, embarks on a mission to tackle all 524 recipes in Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking. 123 min.

PONYO - G - Animation - Think anime-styled Pinocchio meets The Little Mermaid, by Japanese writer/director Hayao Miyazaki. A little goldfish who longs to be a little girl sneaks away from her father (a pollution-battling wizard of the deep). When she finds the shore, she’s instantly smitten with a boy named Sosuke, and turns herself into the girl she’s always wanted to be—using a drop of the boy’s blood and some internal goldfish magic. 101 min.

SHORTS - PG - Family - A rainbow colored rock hurdles from the heavens, hitting 11 year-old Toe Thompson (Jimmy Bennett) in the noggin and subsequently rocks his world. The Black Falls suburb he lives is obsessed with do-it-all device called the BLACK BOX, but Thompson’s magical rock does just as much, plus grants wishes. As might happen when a little boy has at his disposal a wish-granting implement, the town is overrun with gargantuan boogers and alligator armies— which isn’t quite so bad as when the adults catch wind and covet the rock for their own. 89 min.

SORORITY ROW - R - Thriller - A remake of the 1983 thriller The House on Sorority Row, the story follows sorority sisters who cover up the death of one of their own, only to be stalked during graduation year (along with their boyfriends) by a serial killer who threatens to reveal the truth. 102 min.

THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE - PG13 - Romance - Seemingly devised especially for geeky girls like me, the plot circles around a debonair Chicago librarian (Eric Bana) who is cursed/blessed with a gene causing spontaneous, involuntary time travel.

Trouble aside, he remains hopelessly dedicated to and in love with his timeline-bound wife (Michelle Nolden) throughout all their longing battles through time and space. 108 min.

TYLER PERRY’S I CAN DO BAD ALL BY MYSELF - PG13 - Comedy - Aunty April (Taraji P. Henson), a lounge singer, drinks heavily and lives off her married boyfriend, Raymond. Wanting little to do with her delinquent niece and two little nephews recently charged under her care, she starts to reassess her lifestyle when an intriguing young Mexican man moves into her basement. 113 min.

UH WARRIOR FOOTBALL @ UNLV - Check out the University of Hawaii football games for $10 a pop. This Saturday, UH at UNLV--the second game in the Warrior's longest on-the-road stretch in 45 years.

WHITEOUT - R - Thriller - The long Antarctic winter is rapidly closing in and U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale) is running short on time to investigate a mysterious murder--the continent’s first. 96 min.

Oscar becomes Olive (Jenifer Rose) and Felix becomes Florence (Camille Romera) in this female version of The Odd Couple. Playwright Neil Simon revised the script himself in 1985—20 years after writing it for kane casting. There are a few other flips too: poker becomes Trivial Pursuit (the scene features Mana‘o radio’s Kathy Collins and, from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Beth Garrow) and the Coo-Coo Pigeon sisters are now the Costazuela brothers. Premiering Friday, Maui OnStage presents six shows over two weekends (Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sunday matinee at 3pm). Dinner and a show makes for an easy date, and with the theater partnering with neighbors Café O’Lei to provide dinner packages for $40 (Fri. and Sat. only), they makes date planning even easier. Should you attend and feel the stirrings of the thespian within, you too can join in on the OnStage fun as they’re soon holding auditions for Annie (keiki 17 and younger on Sat., Sept. 19 from 1-5pm; adults on Sun., Sept. 20 from 6:30-9pm).

I took ballet lessons—once. The classroom’s creaky wooden floors accentuated my every flatfooted clunk, and at the tender age of six I accepted that I’d emerged from the womb incapable of mastering that dainty dance. I may know diddly about ballet, but I’ve heard of Mikhail Baryshnikov—a name that has become virtually synonymous with the word “dance” itself. The legendary Baryshnikov made his debut in 1967 with the Kirov Ballet, and at 61 years old is still a powerhouse, perfecting poetry in motion. He returns to Maui for a show titled Three Solos and a Duet, partnering with the much-esteemed Ana Laguna, winner of some of the most prestigious dance awards on the globe.

Performing works choreographed by Mats Ek, Benjamin Millepied, and Alexei Ratmansky, the evening will undoubtedly be a masterful display of fluidity and precision, and I doubt I’ll be the only one who will leave feeling inspired, get home, shut the curtains tight and with dreams forgotten since I was a little girl, twirl.

Glow punk Saturday (Sept. 19), 8pm, Oceans Beach Bar & Grill, Kihei, $25

Party for a cause Saturday (Sept. 19), 5-8:45pm, Mulligan’s on the Blue,Wailea, $12/$15

Any punk/ska fan worth their mosh pit grit knows of the Voodoo Glow Skulls.

Formed in the late ’80s, had this Riverside, California band been a baby, it’d now be old enough to drink. That kind of longevity has made them an institution in the genre, garnering them fans two or three generations deep. In an interview with MTW, Frank Casillas (lead vocalist and managing band member) says, “[T]he fact that three of us are brothers helps a lot. We’re a family group, and that helps us persevere through a lot of drama that most bands don’t get past.” Casillas also helped put to bed the specifics of the band’s name origin, as I’d found some conflicting accounts. Casillas: “[A]ctually taken from a toy necklace you used to buy in novelty shops at Disneyland…a friend off ours had a ‘Voodoo Glow Skull’ hanging from his review mirror.” Fans of the band also know they’ve got some heavy Spanish influence, as evidenced in “El Cu Cui,” Casillas’ pick for most popular song. “I think that the energy of the song just grabs people and makes them want to dance crazy.” Wanna dance crazy too? Casillas closes with a shout out to fans ready to party, saying, “Come ready to let loose and have a good time.” 1819 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei. 808-891-2414.

Marla Johnson is beloved by many. So beloved in fact, that when this too-cool chica is being consumed by medical expenses, people come out in force to show their support and aloha. Paula Fuga (need I say more?) headlines with Mike Love (his every-instrument super loop spectacle is truly something to behold), along with the versatility of Kanoa of Gomega, the virtuosity of Derick Sebastian, the feisty, cherub-faced Erin Smith, and the smooth sounds of Benoit Jazz Works. Mike O’Dwyer is hosting The Irish Dating Game, where you can bid for a date with a hottie and a helicopter ride (among other cool stuff).

The silent auction is packed with things worth coveting (snorkel trips, fine jewelry, signed Iron Maiden and Mick Fleetwood memorabilia, spa services, hotel/golf packages and Maui Time Weekly ads), and there are few cooler thrills than a penned battle for the goods, and for a good cause. 100 Kaukahi St., Wailea, 808-874-1131.

DAY

Think ink Saturday (Sept. 19), 7-11pm, Wow-Wee Maui Kava Bar & Grill, Kahului, Free This cool Kahului joint will transform into an art gallery for ink enthusiasts, hosting the Tattoo Art Night Party. Every tattoo parlor on Maui is participating, including ANEW Tattoo, Afterlife Ink, Evolved Art, Paia Tattoo Parlor, Pacific Rootz, Spikes West Side Tattoo, Inc., Hot Rod Tattoo and 1325 Tattoo. DJ JM Kill provides the beats while gun-inhand artists do their thing live. Whoa. Live tattoos? Permanent derma decoration under the gaze of the partying public eye might just provide an atmosphere fun enough to ease nerves, but I doubt it’ll do much to ease the pain. What might, though, is free sorbet. That’s right, free dessert from Island Way Sorbet. Plus sushi is 15 percent off. If sushi and sorbet sound soft for an inked up crowd, Maui Harley Davidson has got gifts for attendees and the King of Beers is just two bucks. 333 Dairy Rd., Kahului, 808-871-1414.

SIGNLANGUAGE

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re like a teenage mom. Here’s an unexpected baby, demanding time, attention, and nurture, and you’re terribly unprepared to take care of her properly. Just like that teen mom, however, you have more choices than you probably think you do. You could rise to the challenge, and learn to care for her and help her realize her potential. Naturally, handing her over to someone who’s better equipped and eager to do exactly that is also an option, provided you’re not already too attached. I can’t make that choice for you, but I can say this: just like a baby, this creation will have its own trials and rewards; it may also keep you from any other plans and dreams you had for quite some time.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

As the weather turns colder, why don’t you think about installing an air conditioner? You can keep your apartment just as cool as the outdoors without ever opening a window! The reason I suggest such a nonsensical idea is that it’s in the same vein as the one you’re thinking about, which is redundant, unnecessary, wasteful, and, to be frank, kind of stupid. I will grant you that in the realm of interpersonal relationships, things aren’t as clear, so your plan doesn’t seem as bad as all that. It is, though. Consult a friend, or a professional.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

When I watch Project Runway, I chuckle at how seriously these people take the world of fashion. I enjoy the creativity of the designers, but I also believe that in less lush circumstances than our culture currently enjoys fashion would be one of the first things that would cease to matter—as it is, it only really matters to a select few. In some ways, some of your priorities belong to a world just as insular and out of touch with reality as those designers. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it might be helpful to keep that in mind when you deal with people who aren’t a part of that world, as they’re just not likely to understand it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Passion is ephemeral. It’s easy, and good, to get swept up in it, but some part of your mind should remember that by its very nature, it comes and goes, and doesn’t necessarily last very long. Construct too much on a foundation of infatuation and all you’ll get is a spectacular implosion when the whole thing crumbles.

Instead, your foundation should focus on building things that are more lasting, like trust, security, respect, and affection. Then you will have a comfy home for passion to return to frequently, and to live in while it’s away.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

I counseled your astrological neighbors not to count too much on passion, which is ephemeral.

However, I have almost the opposite advice for you: don’t exclude it. Since you focus so much on things that last, that you can count on, passion isn’t much on your radar—and thus can sometimes be completely absent from situations you create in your life. Luckily, you’ve done the hard part—built a solid place for it to live when it passes through town. Now all you need do is make sure it knows it’s invited, and keep the doors unlocked in case it chooses to come in.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

My dog makes some scary noises sometimes (usually directed at neighborhood cats invading “his turf”). But it didn’t take long for the feline locals to figure out that he’s a slow old dog with worn down teeth who couldn’t catch them in a million years and couldn’t hurt them if he did. He’s not quite keen enough to grasp this, and barks and growls anyway. You, however, should be savvy enough to figure out just when making threatening noises would be useful, and when it’d be worse than pointless. Because it’s easy to figure out that a frequent barker’s bark is worse than his bite, I suggest using yours sparingly; that way it’ll take people (and neighborhood cats) a little longer to cotton on.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your fear or reluctance to engage in confrontation is downright cruel. I’m sorry to break it you like that, because I know that you’re mostly coming from a kind place; you don’t like to see people get hurt, especially by you. But you should know that dragging your feet on this one will only make things worse, since it involves censoring yourself and in some cases telling awful lies (lies of omission are just as bad, and sometimes worse, in case you’re deluding yourself). Suck it up, Pisces. The kindest thing to do is have it out before everyone sinks deeper into a quagmire of your avoidance and deception. Sometimes you can’t keep from hurting someone, at that point making choices to minimize the pain for them (and not yourself) is the kindest thing you can do.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

When it comes to getting things done, you’re pretty much a creature of extremes; it’s now or never. Either you’ll tackle something without hesitation, or you’ll be a master procrastinator. I’ve learned with the Rams in my life that if it doesn’t get done right away, it’s likely never going to get done (at least by them). I don’t have much of a problem with that—my issue is with your insistence that you will. That’s what causes the problems.

Some self-knowledge is required here. You should know yourself well enough by now to know what you’re going to do and what you probably will never get around to. Own it, and don’t delude yourself or others.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Stop being so judgmental. It’s embarrassing. Your judgments show a lack of judgment and experience.

You aren’t really in a position to judge anyone, and even though you’ve become much more tolerant as you’ve gotten older and wiser, you still have a ways to go. This week is a great time to work on it. The next time you’re ready to condemn someone for something they’ve said or done, or worse, something they are, think twice. We need a little more acceptance in this world. Let it begin with you. You don’t have to like any of it, or even let it too far into your life. But quit condemning it.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You can be cruel. I’ve seen you brutally dissect your past lovers’ emotions with cold casual precision, like sectioning an orange. You can also be devastatingly sensitive. I’ve seen you weep over the slightest of slights. I guess it depends on which Twin is active when something happens. Your duality is both strength and weakness, but you can make it become more of a strength by manifesting the appropriate qualities (already present somewhere within you) at the right time. To date you haven’t always shown much control in this regard. This is a good week to change that up.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Imagine your bones were so brittle that they could shatter when someone gave you a firm handshake, or you tripped over the curb. Think about how that’d inhibit you and what you would get up to. In a way, that’s how you’ve been acting—as if your heart and emotions were just that fragile and frail. You’ve been shying away from anything that’s the least bit risky—essentially confining yourself to a padded room where all the sharp edges have been rounded and all hazards removed. That’s no way to live long-term.

Your heart’s less delicate and flimsy than you’ve made it out to be. It’s time to start toughening it back up for the rough-and-tumble—and rewarding—life you deserve.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Forget about flight, invisibility, or preternatural strength. If you got to choose your own superpower, consider something more subtle, such as the ability to generate your own soundtrack or create your own lighting. Think of the rousing, emotion-stirring speeches you could deliver, backed by your personal invisible orchestra, and just how amazing you’d look, always lit by candlelight, even under the harsh fluorescents of your local grocery store. Subtlety is the name of the game here. The big bold moves should be yours; your accessories, companions, and superpowers should complement them, not overshadow them.
