READER FEEDBACK

BY READERS LIKE YOU WALLS CAN BRING US TOGETHER

COVER: From Tom Vendetti’s new film When The Mountain Calls

Same thing happened to me (Eh Brah, Oct. 27, 2011). I ended up buying more cement myself. Then the wall was crooked so they had to redo a portion of the wall.

YOU’RE WELCOME! Bravo for concisely explaining and exposing the LC’s money trail! (LC Watch, Oct. 20, 2011). If the LC were a private organization, somebody would have some splainin’ to do about the dubious ROI on the $2.3 million dollar cut at the top of the page. However, the LC wastes government money (ain’t the people’s money anymore), so there’s no accountability and low expectations. Thanks for doing your role as one who practices freedom of the press, and we’ll hope that action follows your diligent work.

About six weeks ago the occupation of Wall Street began, demonstrators demanded an end to the rule of the top one percent of earners. Other cities across the U.S. soon followed suit and the Occupy movement has spread through out the world, to become the largest and most exciting protest movement in a very long time. A dynamic Occupy Maui movement has formed, bringing together people of all walks of lives, and various political ideologies (“Occupy America!” Oct. 6, 2011).

We are united by our love for and belief in democracy, and we are mad as hell and we won’t take it any more!

The corporate and financial sectors exert undue influence over all aspects of our lives and our government. Through unlimited contributions to the campaigns of politicians, they dominate both major political parties. They rule in the interest only of their own short term

enrichment, and with no regard for the lives of the rest of the people, the planet, or the future.

In the past thirty years the top one percent’s share of the GDP has quadrupled from nine percent to 41 percent, while in spite of productivity gains, the incomes of workers have steadily fallen. Inflation and the cost of living has continued to rise, in the 1970s one income earner could provide their family with a good life style, now both adults in a family must work, often two jobs just to make ends meet, and family’s homes are being illegally foreclosed.

It is the same story all over the world, working people are being impoverished while the rich become fabulously, obscenely wealthy.

Such a ruling class is not fit to rule,its incompetence if left unchecked will lead to the ruin of this country and indeed the entire world. We the People must take our power back! We need your help. We hold General Assemblies where we practice consensus direct democracy, every Wednesday at 5:30pm at Free Speech Lawn at University of Hawaii Maui College. Check out the Facebook page: Occupy Maui.

SWINGING BRIDGES STILL CLOSED My son, his friend and I attempted to hike the trail just yesterday (“Requiem For A Stream,” Sept. 22, 2011). We’re on the island visiting family and have walked this trail before. We met a gentleman who lived at the first gate.

Even he was not sure just what the rules are now. We passed the first gate anyway and made it just about as far as the reporter, one bend BEFORE the razor wired gate. As we walked along the waterway remembering the beauty ahead, my adult son and his friend became increasingly concerned with the signage–clearly some new, next to conflicting older signs. We decided to turn back at the Wailuku Water Company sign and while on our way to the beach, Googled the story.

How very sad for all of us, but most especially Maui’s kanaka maoli. I do not feel it my “right” as a visitor here (like the reporter has suggested) but more a privilege to experience this special place. But the local valley families are a different issue. Hopefully, this situation will be resolved so all of us can feel the power of the valley again.

Networking, PaciďŹ c Business News-Style

BY ANTHONY PIGNATARO

T

hose wishing to contact the editorial staff of Pacific Business News (PBN–a Honolulu-based weekly covering all things business in the state of Hawaii) apparently have two options. They can call or email the paper’s reporters, editors or publisher for free, of course. This is the most traditional method of attracting a journalist’s attention.

Or they can do something novel: On the night of Thursday, Nov. 3, anyone can pony up $35 and shmooze the entire PBN editorial staff at Honolulu’s Plaza Club. “PBN is proud to present Pau Hana with their own Editorial team!� reads an advertisement sent out a few days ago (and received by MauiTime Publisher Tommy Russo). “Another great networking opportunity brought to you by your friends at Pacific Business News. Guests will include community leaders, members of the PBN staff, plus our sponsors.�

The ad includes photos of the “entire� PBN editorial staff, from Publisher Mary Beth Lohman all the way to Researcher Lucy Tuitupou, as well as every reporter and editor in between.

The two-hour Pau Hana’s $35 admission price also includes “pupu, 2 drink tickets, live music entertainment, [a] raffle ticket for door prize and free parking.�

Lohman described the event, which is part of a series of events put on by American City Business Journals–PBN’s parent company–as “really innocent.� “It’s not really anything tricky,�

Lohman said in an Oct. 31 phone conversation. “We’ve done these before. It’s not anything other than a networking opportunity. It gives people an opportunity to see [the editorial staff’s] faces. The average person out there doesn’t get a chance to meet the publisher or the editor.�

Lohman added that the event is considered “off the record,� though she added that reporters who did hear of interesting story lines from attendees were free to follow up with them as they saw fit.

Of course, the idea of paying any amount of money to talk to a reporter is anathema to many in journalism. Unlicensed and unapproved by government, reporters are citizens first and foremost, available as freely and as often as possible to members of the public.

Indeed, PBN’s Pau Hana is reminiscent of the “salon� The Washington Post tried to organize back in 2009 that many

journalism watchers denounced as “pay to pitch.� That event, which was ultimately cancelled due to extremely bad publicity, would have involved lobbyists paying as much as $250,000 to talk off-the-record with Post reporters at Publisher Katharine Weymouth’s home.

And while University of Hawaii Journalism Professor Gerald Kato doesn’t think the PBN Pau Hana is as egregious as the Washington Post “pay to pitch� salon, he does find the event curious. “It’s probably not up to the level of the Washington Post offering lobbyists and others access to its reporters at off-therecord ‘salon’ gatherings, but PBN is offering up its staff for PR pitches from the business community they cover,� Kato emailed on Oct. 26. “I guess to the extent that you have to pay to attend, you could describe it as ‘pay to pitch.’ Aside from pitching stories, I’m not sure why you would pay to go since you probably

“I guess to the extent that you have to pay to attend, you could describe it as ‘pay to pitch.� could have a nice chat with any of these nice reporters over the phone. Would anybody be willing to pay 35 bucks for two drinks and pupus and a nice chat with you and me because we’re nice people? Maybe that should be the test of whether it is a pau hana with the gang or, as you put it, ‘pay to pitch.’� ■anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1520n1

Talk of the Island

BY ANTHONY PIGNATARO

Sucks to be wrong.

CIVIL BEAT CHECKS LINGLE–HARD! In October 2007, then-Governor Linda Lingle testified before a state House committee on legislation she was pushing that would grant a special, unprecedented exemption to Hawaii’s environmental laws for a single corporation: Hawaii Superferry, Inc. Both Lingle–the Superferry’s greatest booster, then or since–and the few Democrats arrayed against her knew the stakes were high.

“Do you realize this is a major policy shift?” Representative Marcus Oshiro, DWahiawa, asked Lingle. “We are asking for special legislation for one project. Do you understand the enormity of what you are asking us to do?”

It was a visceral moment in the fight over the high-speed auto ferry–by far, the most divisive political battle in Hawaii in the last few decades. Of course, Lingle did not understand the importance Oshiro was speaking of. What’s more, she still doesn’t have a clue.

“Remember that nothing was done wrong with the Superferry–nothing,” Lingle said at the terribly exclusive Pacific Club on Oct. 11 during an appearance for her U.S. Senate campaign, according to Honolulu Civil Beat. “Let me elaborate.

Some people talk about an EIS [Environmental Impact Statement] when they talk about the Superferry. There was never an EIS required of any inter-island vessel. Not before and not since, that I’m aware of.”

In an Oct. 28 story, Civil Beat fact checked those assertions from Lingle and found, to no one’s surprise, that she’s wrong, Wrong, WRONG. Turns out that, yeah, the fight over the Hawaii Superferry was a disaster for state officials, corporate investors and Linda Lingle herself.

“Lingle said ‘nothing was done wrong with the Superferry.’” stated the Civil Beat story. “That’s false. The Hawaii Supreme Court twice invalidated actions taken by the state related to the Superferry... Lingle

may disagree with the court, but it’s the court that gets to decide what’s right and wrong under the law, not a governor who wants to exert executive authority.”

Zing!

And as far as her second assertion (the caveat “that I am aware of” notwithstanding), Lingle is equally wrong.

“But her statement is misleading at best and also inaccurate,” Civil Beat reported.

“An EIS wasn’t required of the Superferry.

It was required of the harbor improvements [needed to accommodate the Superferry]. And other harbor improvements related to ferries between Maui, Lanai and Molokai were required to undergo an Environmental Impact Statement.”

One final note: though the Civil Beat story is a satisfying read, it ultimately won’t matter in the campaign to replace Senator Daniel Akaka. Lingle will go on repeating her specious Superferry assertions as if the Civil Beat article never appeared.

It’s because she has no other choice. The truth can’t possibly help get her elected, so she has to make the best of it.

Let's go shopping!

NEW SHOPPING CENTER! And now for some really, really great news: Central Maui is getting a “major new commercial center!”

That’s right, kids–work will start this week on a $50 million, 200,000-squarefoot retail center for the still-under-construction Kehalani subdivision between Wailuku and Waikapu, according to the Oct. 30 Maui News. There’s going to be a Foodland and a gas station and a Longs Drugs and a McDonald’s!

What’s more, the whole deal is “designed with a ‘Main Street’ feel incorporating retail buildings, landscaping, indoor and outdoor gathering spots, and the potential for mixed-use buildings,” according to The Maui News article. (Note: the development’s “Main Street” feel is more of a Platonic Ideal Main Street, reminiscent more of Disneyland’s Main Street than Wailuku’s actual Main Street, which is just up the street from Kehalani and doesn’t really have a lot of landscaping or “outdoor gath-

Overheard “I love chopping wood. I would pay you to let me chop your wood.

Wait, no, that sounded bad. But really, I love chopping wood.”

ering spots,” unless you count the lawn in front of the Church of the Good Shepherd, where nice people hand out free meals to the homeless on weekends.)

Anyway, isn’t all that just wonderful?

Developer Stanford Carr certainly thinks so: “We are really proud of what we are able to do for the community,” he told the News.

This is what we all want, right? Didn’t we all agree decades ago that we want the same supermarkets and fast food franchises distributed evenly across the island?

You know, so that every town on Maui looks like every town on the mainland– makes it easier and more comfortable for out-of-towners, I suppose.

Independently owned and operated coffee houses and cafes tend to frighten consumers and leasing agents with their strange offerings and lack of “brand penetration.” And everyone knows people don’t read anymore, so bookstores are out, and when was the last time anyone went to a museum?

So what else are we going to build on this rock except more McDonald’s and Longs Drugs? Anyone?

JOBS GO NORTH AND SOUTH It was no “Kim Kardashian Gets Divorced After Just 10 Weeks Of Marriage,” but did you happen to catch Pacific Business News’ Monday story on how Hawaii last nearly 3,000 retail jobs during the recession? Stanford Carr’s great Kehalani shopping center gift notwithstanding, Hawaii really took it in the shorts over the last four years, at least as far as retail employment is concerned.

Of course, only three U.S. states are actually doing well jobs-wise, and two of those have the word “Dakota” in their name, so it’s not like we’re really that bad off. ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1520n2

The contest, held the evening before Halloween in the Barefoot Bar, judged contestants on three criteria: creativity, performance, and audience response. The keiki segment, which started the show, featured about 25 contestants, with lots of witches, superheros and video game favorites. Jackson Murphy, clad as Mr. Incredible, took first place. Second place went to a little gentleman dressed as a hobo holding a sign that said, “Will work for Candy.” Third place went to Iron Man. The adult contest started at 7:30pm and had 15 entries.

Sephora West Coast Regional Vice President Lisah Poore and District Manager Lourdes Von Kruss were excited to be on hand to congratulate the new staff and local store director Trisha Yamaguchi on their nearly 4,000-square-foot store. That store is packed with more than 13,000 products from over 200 brands. Sephora has earned its reputation as a beauty store Goliath that wants you to try before you buy.

“Sephora offers the most innovative and unique way to shop, where an array of prestige cosmetics are showcased in gorgeous open-sell gondolas and linears instead of glass cabinets,” said Yamaguchi. “So clients have the freedom to discover and play in a stress-free shopping environment.

Sephora is always changing in order to maintain our status as the leader in the beauty industry. Meeting the needs of our clients is the most important part of our job and we are constantly forecasting and launching the latest trends in beauty.”

Sephora stays on top of those trends for clients by sponsoringmake-upatdesignertentsduringFashionWeekinNewYork.

That’s where Sephora pros like Erik Soto absorb the latest looks and then train local Sephora staff members. The Sephora Pro Team has about 15 members. Soto was on hand for two days at Sephora to assist the cast member color artists and explain the new trends fresh from September in New York.

“Sephora customers are truly savvy, sometimes they have researched products so well onlinewhentheycomein,”saidSoto.“Evenmenare becoming more aware of utilizing skin care and products that cater to men.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY CHUCK SHEPARD

MR. PENGUIN LIVES! “My ultimate dream is to be buried in a deep ocean close to where penguins live,” explained the former Alfred David, 79, otherwise known in his native Belgium as “Monsieur Pingouin," so named because a 1968 auto accident left him with a waddle in his walk that he decided to embrace with gusto. (His wife abandoned the marriage when he made the name change official; evidently, being “Mrs. Penguin” was not what she had signed up for.) Mr. Pingouin started a penguin-item museum that ultimately totaled 3,500 items, and he created a hooded, full-body black-and-white penguin outfit that he wears daily in his Brussels neighborhood of Schaerbeek.

FINE POINTS OF THE LAW A judge in Nice, France, ruled in September that Article 215 of the French civil code (defining marriage as a “shared communal life”) in fact requires that husband and wife have sex.

A husband identified only as Jean-Louis B. had evidently lost interest years earlier, and his wife was granted a divorce. Apparently emboldened by her victory, she then filed a monetary claim against the husband for the 21-year-long lack of sex, and the judge awarded her 10,000 euros (about $13,710).

EXCESSIVE FARCE It might well be “excessive force” if a sheriff’s deputy beats and pepper-sprays a black motorist who had been stopped only because the deputy saw the motorist without a fastened seatbelt. A district court judge had concluded that the force was surely justified, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said in August that excessiveness of force was for a jury to evaluate. The deputy’s explanation: The motorist, waiting for the deputy to finish his report, was sitting on a curb eating a bowl of broccoli, and the deputy had to beat him down, he said, out of fear that the motorist would throw the broccoli at him and then attack him.

STUDYING IS NOT A CRIME Though South Korean children score among the highest in the world on standardized reading and math tests, their success comes at a price, according to an October Time magazine dispatch. They supposedly suffer “educational masochism”–punishing themselves by overstudy, especially in high school preparing for university admissions tests (a very competitive process). Earlier this year, to curb the “masochism,” the government began enforcing a 10 p.m. curfew on coaching-school activities, and in Seoul, a six-man team conducts nightly after-hours raids on classes that run late-night sessions behind shuttered windows.

BLAME THE VOTERS For the 10-year remembrances of Sept. 11 this year, many cities recalled the tragedy with monuments and public events, including Washington Township, N.J., about 20 miles from ground zero. A large commemorative plaque was unveiled, but provoked immediate

outrage because the only names on it were not victims’ but only the mayor’s and those of the five council members who approved the plaque. Said one retired police officer, “It made my blood boil.” Mayor Samir Elbassiouny later apologized and ordered a steel overlay to obscure the politicians’ names.

FANGS ARE BIG IN JAPAN In America, the quest for perfectly straight teeth can lead to orthodontia bills of thousands of dollars, but in Japan, a dental “defect”–slightly crooked canine teeth–makes young women more fetching, even “adorable,” say many men. Women with the “yaeba” look have canines pushed slightly forward by the molars behind them so that the canines develop a fang-like appearance. One dental salon, the Plaisir, in Tokyo, recently began offering non-permanent fixtures that replicate the look among straight-toothed women.

ou know, you could have injured someone getting to that parking space I was just about to take. Then again you were in a black Range Rover with low profile tires on chrome rims and were speeding through the golf course parking lot (which you entered from the wrong entrance), so you probably had an advantage. Congratulations! You won! Way to act like a mainlander by rushing around and being rude! “Is this your parking spot?” you asked when I drove by. “I don’t see your name on it.” Seriously, learn to respect your elders, or at least, other people. What was so important that you needed to risk other people’s lives to get to a parking space? Were you late for your tee time? Think before you do things.

It’s people like you who get others hurt or killed. ■

LATEST RELIGIOUS MESSAGE Sheriff’s deputies in Bergholz, Ohio, arrested three Amish men in October and charged them in incidents in which other Amish men and women had their homes invaded and their hair (and men’s beards) cut off–supposedly grave insults. The three are part of an 18-family breakaway sect of Amish who were said to be exacting revenge upon mainstream Amish for insufficiently pious behavior. The “bishop” of the breakaways, Sam Mullet, 65, denied the arrestees were acting under his authority.

QUESTIONABLE JUDGMENT “Snakeman” Raymond Hoser, of Park Orchards, Australia, was about to be fined in August for violating his Commercial Wildlife Demonstrator License–by failing to keep at least three meters’ distance between his venomous snakes and the public–when he hit upon a defense: He would prove that he had de-venomized the deadly taipan and death adder snakes by allowing them to bite his 10-year-old daughter on the arm. Though both bites drew blood, the girl was otherwise unhurt. Said Hoser, “[I]f they’d been venomous, she’d have been dead in two minutes.”

PEOPLE DIFFERENT FROM US “Urban farming” is growing more popular among city-dwelling progressives committed to eating local foods, but that usually involves gardens in backyards. For Robert McMinn and Jules Corkery, it means raising two chickens in their one-bedroom apartment in New York City–just to have a supply of fresh eggs. “I don’t think it’s the ideal situation,” McMinn told the New York Daily News in October. He said the hens are “cute. On the other hand, he said, “they poop everywhere.”■ chuck@mauitime.com To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1520n4

THE

MYSTERIOUS

HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS CALLED TO TOM VENDETTI–AND HE

ANSWERED. WHAT CALLS TO YOU?

By Anu Yagi

TOM VENDETTI AND THE MOUNTAINS

WHAT CALLS YOU? What beacons with n Whe ens a burnish so bright you’re compelled to p o h move without abandon and beyond rat t a pa e us tha ot tionale? And if you heed that call–life’s n uncertainty notwithstanding–what befor e know fraid a w then? e s e b d r lea , don’t lives a Maui psychologist and Emmye r s wherow it. Ou ysteriou e winning filmmaker Dr. Tom Vendetti says it’s the Himalayan Mounn m ll to fo nt to be folding o tains that have called him. For nearly mea eys, un time. three decades, he’s answered that call journ step at a ee, In Love time and again. Though none of it was easy, Vendetti says the solution was as tif

Mor tery -Ann The Mys With

simple as “just showing up.”

Since 1983, despite myriad political and logistical obstacles–and later, his own battle with prostate cancer–Vendetti’s repeatedly made the arduous journey to the Everest region. And in “searching for life’s meaning,” as Kris Kristofferson explains in the film’s prologue, by answering the colossal range’s consummate call, Vendetti’s found answers in return.

Chronicling his 30-year adventure in the Himalayas is Vendetti’s latest featurelength documentary, When The Mountain Calls: Nepal, Tibet & Bhutan, which makes its world premier this Saturday, Nov. 5 at the MACC’s Castle Theater.

A cinematic scrapbook of sorts, When The Mountain Calls culminates work from three of his previous films: Journey Inside Tibet (1999), which aired on PBS and screened at film festivals internationally; Sacred Tibet: The Path To Mount Kailash (2006); and Bhutan: Taking The Middle Path To Happiness (2007), which to-this-day airs nationally on PBS and earned Emmy Awards for both he and composer Christopher Hedge, for best Historic/Cultural Program - Feature/Segment and Musical Composition/Arrangement, respectively.

This composite film tells the tale of Vendetti’s personal journey through it all and the ways by which he–a mild-mannered career scientist with no religious background– was ultimately relinquished from the idea that coincidences are without meaning.

His journals’ insights, narrated by fellow producer Robert C. Stone (Taylor Camp, Native of Owhyhee), are layered with the richly hued digital imagery he’s captured over the years: of the world’s most massive peaks, swathed in snow and skirted with glacial serrate, and of the cultural tapestry created by the region’s exotic people who revere these places as sacred and who, by the lifestyle leant by their deep convictions, maintain some of the oldest continuous cultures on the planet.

But who cares about the Tom Vendetti story? It’s a question he and producers had to ask themselves as they created When The Mountain Calls. What they found was that Vendetti’s story is inextricable from the stories he found along the way–stories that speak to the human condition and our shared questions and challenges, however we are called.

And so the film touches on kaleidoscopic themes and concepts–from spirituality to ecological sustainability, and above all, the pursuit of happiness. Featuring interviews with the Dalai Lama himself, proponents of Greenpeace East Asia, and political leader Yeshey Zimba (then-Prime Minister of Bhutan, a country that weighs its wealth based on what they call Gross National Happiness), the film explores how–despite the eternal return of the past’s clash with the present’s push toward the future–progress and preservation cannot but coexist.

This integration of ideas also speaks to Vendetti’s spiritual reconciliation that coincidence is not mere whimsy, and that so long as we are open to its whim, we open ourselves to a wonderful world. Further still, Vendetti’s story says that the paths that call us intersect with and influences others.

This is perhaps best exemplified by his friendships with authoress Ann Mortifee, who narrates the film (written by the Maui News’ Rick Chatenever) and her husband, flutist Paul Horn, who’s heralded as “The Father of New Age Music” thanks to his famous recordings from inside the Taj Mahal and Egypt’s Great Pyramids, as well as his relationship with nonpareil Indian composer Ravi Shankar, forged around the time of the Beatles’ late-’60s Transcendental Meditation pilgrimage to India.

Both Horn and Mortifee will join Vendetti in presenting Saturday’s film premier, performing a pre-screening concert plus a reading from Mortifee’s new book, In Love With The Mystery, a collection of poetic passages which Vendetti says speak to the larger themes of When The Mountain Calls.

Be t the he sur low fa c the re l onscio ce of kno ies a us m the wledg reserv ind oir tim e. t do, hese w e to d Few t of ak r wh beco ater ich s. T ink fro e me h m wor insp c ld... irat hanne ose wh “BEING AROUND PEOPLE WHO l i s o D o are bipolar or schizophrenic–which I am n And ive flow throu every day–my job is to ground people,” d e the g Vendetti told me. “When people talk about dee ep.

-Mo nch “But when I look back at the films, there are all rtife ed. of these things that are kind of unexplainable,” he e continued. “I used to blow them off or discount them, but something hit me. It’s OK to not know everything. There are

12

NOVEMBER 3, 2011

things in our lives we can’t explain. To be able to let go of that was a kind of surrendering. It was a relief off my shoulders not having to figure out everything all the time.”

Showing up for serendipity is Vendetti’s simple answer to how-to-answer the call. His story is replete with instances of how, just by going where you’re led, leads to remarkable things.

Case in point: on his very first trip (an adventurous treat after completing graduate school), he found himself hurtling toward the Himalayas on a tiny turbo prop with Tenzig Norgay, who was named to Time Magazine’s “Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century” for having been one of the first two men to summit Mount Everest, alongside Sir Edmund Hillary in May of 1952. Norgay and his daughter were returning to Everest to

reunite with Hillary for the 30th anniversary of their accomplishment, and invited Vendetti to join them.

“It was amazing,” Vendetti said. “As we walked up the side of the mountain, National Geographic was waiting for us. Their cameras were rolling. First, [Norgay and Hillary] embraced. Norgay then introduced his daughter, Deki, then said, ‘I want you to meet my friend, Tom,’ and I was suddenly shaking hands with Hillary!”

His returning journeys also took him to Lhasa, the administrative capitol of the Tibet Autonomous Region, and its sweeping Potala Palace (formerly the residence of the Dalai Lama), considered one of Tibet’s most sacred sites. In the film, Vendetti recounts a vision of Horn playing in the palace–a vision which years later came to fruition, though not without the hand of fortunate chance.

After exhaustive efforts in getting permission to have Horn play and record in the palace–the first Westerner to ever attempt such a thing–Horn and Vendetti found themselves relegated to a small ancillary room that “reeked of cigarette smoke [with] questionable acoustics.” But during a tour they discovered the ambietic main exhibition hall–the perfect place to capture Horn’s flute music.

A kind monk informed them they could use the space–but only in secret, when the Chinese guards were out to lunch. Outside, Chinese propaganda blared

incessantly on loudspeaker, shattering any memory of calm, while Tibetan pilgrims still prayed and prostrated outside, urged by their faith.

Inside, “The Father of New Age Music” clandestinely played his flute while Vendetti filmed.

“Back in those days in China, if you got caught doing something it could have meant severe consequences–not only for us, but for the monk who allowed that to occur,” Vendetti said.

“On one hand we were elated by the opportunity, on the other hand it was quite risky.”

But the resulting performance, clips of which are featured in the film, proves the risk’s worth.

“When I look back on it, when I weigh the two, it was just meant to be,” said Vendetti. “I don’t know how else to explain it.”

ng i h t y Ever ild will u we b rn down. is be tohing that ain. yt turn ag he r e v E l re ides of t h l i w lost both s eld wit n Whe dox are h nce, we para al revere free. equ re truly fee ti a -Mor

THIS ANECDOTE LEADS to another interesting phenomena happening in Tibet; that unknowable amounts of Tibetan culture could have been lost were it not for the publicity of the Dalai Lama’s exile and China’s attempts to accommodate a growing number of tourists responding to that international interest by refurbishing religious sites of interest.

“Even though the Chinese say there’s freedom of expression and so forth, when it comes to Tibetan culture, there’s a major effort in my opinion toward changing that, making it more Chinese-based,” Vendetti said, referencing incentives given to Han Chinese to relocate-to and “homogenize” the area.

“By preserving monasteries and the Potala Palace, they’re also preserving the culture,” he added. And after repeat visits over decades, noted that “I was really just delighted with how this is all coming back. I don’t even know if the Chinese are even aware of what’s going on, of what they’re preserving in the process while thinking that it’s going to attract tourism. They’re doing it basically to bring money into China, but as a result of that, people are coming and learning more about the Tibetan culture.”

Cultural preservation became a key theme in Vendetti’s continuing discoveries, especially as he traveled to neighboring Bhutan, where the cultural and ecological preservation are the crux of their identity, the wealth of which government calls “Gross National Happiness.”

And finding happiness–the impetus of heeding your call–is what Vendetti describes as the most important of the film’s many messages.

“The most important thing is looking at happiness in the way that our culture and our surroundings affect us,” he said. “For me, I became very interested in that because I’m also a psychologist, and I’ve been dealing with those issues throughout my professional career. One of the things that the Bhutanese talk about is that if you really, truly want to be happy, you have to live in a beautiful environment. They have a real sense of their own identity, and I was fascinated with that aspect in how it relates to preserving culture.”

You hear a lot of chatter about restaurants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; these guys changed their menu; those guys just renovated; this place was just sold. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been that way lately with the Kahului Ale House. I keep hearing about different food items, new owners, renovations and big changes. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m never satisfied with hearsay, so I went down there to see for myself what, if anything, was new.

Kahului doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have as many destination eateries as our more picturesque, tourist-heavy towns. Here it seems to be all business, where the restaurants serve the

locals. Kahului Ale House has long reigned as Central Mauiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sports Bar Supreme, but with new owners Brad and Stacy Sundin breathing new attitude into their restaurant, the atmosphere has grown thick and diverse. Clearly, they want to be more than a sports bar.

Stacy Sundinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bubbly personality gushed as she gave me the grand tour of the restaurant. The sushi bar is getting built here; the baseball wall (see photo) was built with the help of a generous customer. They also updated all the flat screens and now the games are everywhere.

The Sundins are passionate about creating a family-oriented restaurant for Kahului diners. See, they have kids, too. In fact, the younger Sundins have helped craft the very reasonable kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; menu. For $6, kids can build their own meal concept by picking their own entree, side and dessert. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also one of the first places where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen Spam Musubi on the keiki menu, a favorite item of our islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small fries.

The dining room is large, with the bar right in the center. One side of the dining room has wooden booths well lit by large windows, with the other side darker and perfect for TV watching (if that is your thing).

I delve into their expansive menu by ordering the lettuce wraps and edamame. A vast mountain of edamame arrives in a basket with its green skins well salted. The lettuce wraps donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like much at first, just crisp iceberg lettuce separated into large leaves with a big glop of heavily hoisinned minced filling on the side of the platter. But after I rolled the filling in the wrapper and bit, I was in heaven. The sweet meaty filling performed amazingly well with iceberg â&#x20AC;&#x201C; any other lettuce might not have had such a strong crisp shoulder to bear the weight of the pork.

Stacy then recommended the pastrami Reuben on rye with sauerkraut. It comes all hot and melty with plenty of juicy pink pastrami drenched with glorious liquified Swiss. The rye is grilled with butter and crisp, and the Amber Ale sauerkraut gives the sandwich some tang. Sweet potato fries completed my calorie crime; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shoestring style here and come in a big stack in a basket. Sandwiches can also come with potato wedges, Parmesan fries, salads or soup.

BLT, turkey club, falafel pita, Ahi tuna and grilled vegetable are just some of the names appearing on the sandwich menu.

My dining date ordered the ale-battered fish and chips. The big, crispy battered slabs of flaky Mahi Mahi served with potato wedges and tropical slaw were exceptional.

Indeed, their whole menu is so big it's actually daunting. Dining runs the gamut here

from casual sandwiches and finger food to veggie lasagna, BBQ ribs, seared Mahi, and hamburger steak. There are soups and salads, pizza, nine wraps and sandwiches, nine burgers, 17 appetizers and a page of entrees, plate lunches and side items, plus a wiki wiki lunch special menu that will get you in and out fast. They have a big selection of American and local favorites, with the sushi bar section on the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like mixing things up,â&#x20AC;? said Stacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our dream is to make this into a wonderful family-oriented restaurant by day and a fun place for adults in the evening.â&#x20AC;?

The Ale House was a hub of activity for the lunch hour I was there. They also offer customers wi-fi, which makes satellite office time easy.

On Tuesdays tacos are on special: just $2 for beef, chicken or pork. They also have daily specials on pupus during their happy hour, which runs Monday to Friday from 3 to 7pm.

On Football Sundays, breakfast starts at 8am.

The Sundins credit their restaurant experience to their home state in Arizona, and know how difficult the restaurant business can be from their parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Buffalo Bar and Grill. But with a year of Maui under their belts, they are quickly assimilating into the island lifestyle. â&#x2013;

ARISE AND SHINE IN SPLENDOR AMID THE WORLD’S RLD’S DEEP NIGHT (from the Mormon hymn “Arise, O Glorious Zion”) - If Kanekoa’s members’ myriad talents were but itty bitty bits of sand, you’d have a beach.

PHANTASY EXISTS TO FULFILL THE DEMANDS OF THE IMAGINATION (from H. P. Lovecraft’s “Dagon”) Feast Of All Souls: Friday (Nov. 4), Vineyard Food Company (1951 E. Vineyard St., Wailuku); no cover; vineyardfoodcompany.com Early this Fall I brunched with fine artist James Lafferty, ere the eve of his solo exhibition at Wailuku Coffee Company (WCC). Bellies full of Eggs Benedict, we then toured his Makawao home studio– a caliginous cacophony of curiosities–where his prolificness is evidenced in piles of inked pieces, meticulous notebooks, reclaimed frames, paint splatter and a sprinkling of bottles bursting with brush-tipped tools. A fast friend, I first came to know Lafferty because we share a few vices: drupe juice-culture and cellophane-packed psychoactive sticks. (I suppose that alone is nothing special–those bad habits are pea pod par for the course for many a work week zombie–but it’s a birds of a feather thing, notwithstanding.) As a person, I can say this of Lafferty: in passing I admired a large jar filled with brittle wasps nests, placed

And thanks to teen years tuned into Tool’s percussionist Danny Carey, whenever I’ve the pleasure of hearing tabla drumming–namely

high on his bookshelf, around the corner from a dresser strewn with bits of bone, calcigenous detritus, nubs, rust and incense ash. Lafferty later gifted me with a like jar, it’s top sealed in a rainbow rainstorm of candle wax. It now sits on my own book-and bone-laden shelf, a trophy to the kind of generosity the world does not deserve. Or at least, I don’t deserve it... And of his work, I can say this: his sui generis should speak to any aesthetic sensibility that appreciates a dunk in the dark side of Americana, ripe with religious motif and primary-colored paint.

His August-September WCC show, titled “The Shining Overture: Stories of Church Fathers Blood God Mother Pills And The Spring-Time,” was dismantled early no-thanks to an art thief (albeit a nasty compliment). But Wailuku gets a second chance this Friday (part of Wailuku First Friday festivities), at a special event which celebrates the opening of the expanded cafe at Vineyard Food Company with a “Feast Of All Souls” exhibition of Lafferty’s original work, poster prints and limited edition postcards, “shewing the mystical eldritch books, revealing arcane signs.” (PS: Laffery was born on Maui, reared in a Midwestern city’s drear and highschooled on the slopes of Haleakala.) Sample his style by perusing his online portfolio at jlaffertyart.com. ■

compounds these two vibratory vices (in a very calm, cultured way)–so I suppose I’m in for an ear candy overdose. Burhoe’s beats are joined by Maestro Kala Ramnath, “the world’s great North Indian violinist... a contemporary torch-bearer of the Mewati Gharana [who] stands among the most outstanding and brilliant instrumental musicians in the North Indian classical genre.” Arrive early to enjoy dinner

by Monsoon India (their all-new “vegetarian feast” includes veggie biryani, mutter paneer, veggie and aloo pakoras, raita, mint chutney and naan for just $8; with tandoori chicken available for an additional $3), plus kombucha teas, chai and raw desserts (like their “bunny spice” pie, goji chiffon and “cacao caliente” tort) by Maui Kombucha. (PS: The pair recently announced the forthcoming release of their album Samay Chakra, which “features eight classical ragas [that] reflect the shifting moods of the day and night.” Only a few hundred pre-release copies are available, and pre-orders can be placed at tyburhoe.com; $9.99/$14.99/$15.99.) ■

Pooping Golden Eggs Antonio Banderas makes Puss in Boots great even if you’re not a cat person

BY BARRY WURST II

Puss in Boots

★★★★★

Cat people rejoice! Gawyk..I just puked in my mouth.

Rated PG/90 Minutes

Y

ou don’t have to be a cat person to enjoy Puss in Boots but it sure helps. In this CGI animated comedy, Antonio Banderas returns as the voice of Puss, the swashbuckling feline who was the best thing about the second Shrek movie. With no ogre or donkey in his way, Puss undergoes an adventure involving the search for magic beans, a trip to Jack and Jill’s castle at the end of a beanstalk and a run-in with a goose that, in the words of the film, “poops golden eggs.” Puss also teams up with a female cat who is not only his equal with a sword but voiced by Salma Hayek, cleverly re-teamed with Banderas after two Robert Rodriguez Mariachi thrillers.

Banderas is so perfect and hilarious as Puss, it’s unlikely that the character or the film could work without him. His career has highlights such as Evita and Pedro Almodovar dramas but he may be best loved in the U.S.

for playing Puss; when he’s this funny playing a character this goofy, it’s no mystery why.

On the other hand, making Humpty Dumpty the third wheel sidekick was a mistake: voiced by Zach Galifianakis at his unfunniest, the creepy-looking character is out of place among a cast of mostly taking cats. Far better is Billy Bob Thornton, amusingly cast as a redneck Jack to Amy Sedaris’ Jill.

The story isn’t much and neither is the big climax. It lacks the style and intelligence of Rango but is better than every Shrek except the first one. What works are the jokes, particularly the ones that tease Banderas’ well established persona as a dashing ladies’ man.

Also funny are the relentless cat jokes, which are more creative than you’d think.

A reoccurring gag concerning Puss’ distraction by reflections of light (the way cat owners love to torture their pets with pen lights) is a riot and so is the movie’s most quotable line regarding a hidden can of catnip. All of the action sequences are terrific, with or without the 3-D glasses but the best set piece is a fight that suddenly turns into something else entirely.

There’s also a wonderfully funny dance sequence that showcases right away why this movie is the cat’s pajamas and the other Shrek sequels are best forgotten: with the exception of a dusty Fight Club reference, there

are no pop culture nods, no popular songs or up-to-the-minute, “hip” references.

This one gets it right by entertaining children and their parents by not insulting or talking down to them. Many recent animated comedies not made by Pixar work too hard to cater to every audience member, but this one mostly just wants you to laugh and succeeds nearly every time.

Things may get overly busy in the third act but parents will laugh along with their kids and no one will walk away wanting a Humpty Dumpty doll. Of the many moments on hand that are quite wonderful and evoke a fairy tale feel, I could watch cats cavorting merrily through clouds all day.

I have a friend who once wrote for Cat Fancy and adores cats; this movie is for her but also for anyone who can’t stand fur balls.

I’m a cat person myself (there, I said it!) and find uppity, self-cleaning felines hilarious but honestly, anyone with a good sense of humor will dig this.

Whenever Puss is the center of attention (which is often), Banderas and his fuzzy avatar will have you wrapped around his paws like entangled yarn. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1520f

KULA KID

More XTERRA, less cancer please!

BY ANU YAGI

L

ook. What do you see? Shut up. I’ll tell you what you see,” says Scrappers, grabbing my arm to save me from straying off a Happy Valley path to more-courteously light another cigarette.

It’s way past bedtime and way, way past deadline–but we’re wandering in hopes a few beers might wash away the day and renew our vigor for yet another late night at MauiTime.

Scrappers describes the adamantine dirt, barren but for a few spurts of angrily evolved weeds more thorn than leaf. Weeds though they may be, they’re resilient and it’s beautiful.

They argue with feet to never again trespass, and they win.

After too much talk and too, too much beer, we stumble back to work reeking of the same disaster.

OK. Time to write and wonder where all the time has gone. This week’s topic: my third year moseying around the 16th annual XTERRA World Championships (somehow by kind invitation, I promise), held Sun., Oct. 23.

Seems like a fun task, right? I get a shiny press badge and a chance to ride in a van with journalists from around the globe while helicopters, dirt bikes and ATVs (oh my!) buzz about as the world’s best tri-athletes push toward glory (and a $105,000 purse).

But it isn’t fun–the writing part, that is.

It never is. And I can’t quite figure out why.

Writing whips me with all nine tails, but it’s all I ache to do, for better or worse.

Usually worse. (Just ask my ex... And my family. And my creditors. And...)

For the first year writing about XTERRA, I borrowed from Hunter S. Thompson, which is apropos given the whole sports thing. The second year I wrote in true-blue Kula Kid style (if there’s yet such a thing–this is only my 66th entry on this rear-book page): flowery and vainly introspective. South Africa’s Conrad Stoltz had won by an unprecedented lead, and attributed his win having dedicated his race to his father, who was at that moment dying of cancer...

So this third year–well, I’m not sure. Maybe I’m struggling because I’ve mucked it up for myself by attaching all sorts of sick reverence to XTERRA World Championships. See, that first year, it was the last story I wrote before waking up in a hospital on the Day of the Dead. The doctor pat my hand with a sad look in her eye and told me some stuff I couldn’t hear through the confusion. But the air ambulance’s paperwork was as clear as it’s carefully penned blue ink, and it read “acute promyelocytic leukimia.”

Now, two years later, I’m tired of writing about cancer. I’m tired of talking about cancer. It’s all I seem to do, anniversary or no, because I love cancer. (One of those, you-loveyour-spouse-but-you’ve sometimes-gotta-getout-of-the-house sort of things.) Really. It was the most fascinating experience of my life– which is saying something given my whole shiny press badge advantage and so on.

Hell, I’d do it all again if I could be so lucky!

But a recent bone marrow biopsy reports all that chemo did the trick. Nonetheless, as

each year goes by since diagnosis, it never seems any further away.

So who was I kidding that I could escape a cancer reminder at this year’s XTERRA? And no less when the event’s golden boy was none other than seven-time Tour de France winner, Lance Armstrong. THE seven-time Tour de France winner: king of testicular cancer and the reason the world’s polluted with billions of plastic bracelets reading everything from “Live Strong” to “Wrist Strong” (Semper Colbert!) to “WWJD” to “Place Your Order With Oriental Trading Co. By Calling 1-800...”

Even local rockers Owaila have their own (which is kinda cool).

Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong is super famous, if you didn’t already know. So it was kinda weird crouching like a creep in the brush to watch as he zoomed by on the Kapalua Trails (this year, the event changed sites after 15 years in Wailea).

Normally when athletes race by, people cheer. The photographers seem to do it in hopes of a better shot (some competitors will show-off by doing wheelies and stuff–seriously). The visiting journalists do it to support their countrymen; and as I’ve learned, shout out splits (i.e. the time they’re lagging behind the athletes ahead of them).

But whenever seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong whizzed by, everyone shut the hell up. Star struck, I guess.

I for one wasn’t going to risk seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong toppling with naught but my well-meaning “woo hoo!” to blame.

Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong didn’t win anyway. He came in 20th. He bumped his head on a branch while running (someone else’s “woo hoo!” not mine). But who cares? If he can kick cancer in the nuts, I’m sure a little boo boo won’t phase him for long.

Instead, Austria’s Michael Weiss won (overall/the men’s division), as did California’s (via Scotland) Leslie Patterson (in the women’s). But if I thought I felt bad because no one cheered for seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, I felt really bad for Weiss and Patterson. At the press conference, all they were asked about was what it was like racing seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong.

Oh, our poor world champions! For all their effort, there’s little fanfare but at the finish line–and that’s when you win.

I suppose I shouldn’t feel bad for people who are better and more beautiful than me, but I do. They’re our species finest examples– their excellence and endurance epitomizes the Goldilocks evolution that’s built us for a level of endurance running unsurpassed in all the planet. They’re resilient weeds-turned-trees, growing from even the hardest of things. It’s beautiful, and I’m inspired by the chance to simply admire them from the path. ■

HOROSCOPE

Sign Language

BY CAERIEL CRESTIN SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Every relationship involves compromise. Unfortunately, in some cases, that first compromise can lead to many more, and at some point what began as an amicable meeting of minds can lead to a situation that neither is especially happy with, because both parties feel like they’re giving up way more than they’re getting. So you can see I understand your profound reluctance to walk down that path again. Is this compromise the top of a slippery slope?

Of course it is. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it, though. It’s still necessary. Just watch your step.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

You’ve always made your own rules and defined your own values; since when did what other people dictated for you matter much?

Sure, according to the way they view the world, you may not be considered particularly successful or virtuous, but that’s only by their screwed-up definition. By your own much more apt—at least according to your perspective and experience—definition, you’re actually wildly successful and amazing. There isn’t actually a right or wrong way to see the world—but there are better and worse ways. The best way is the one that makes you happiest. Stick with that.

others walk all over them. Those suckers are consequently repeatedly forced to cope with, clean up after, or simply suffer from others’ mistakes. Your wish to not be this kind of doormat is perfectly understandable; however, you do tend to overcompensate in this department, so much so that when someone screws up even once, it’s can spell the end of your relationship. There’s room for more slack and leeway here. Be forgiving! That doesn’t mean not having standards, just building a bit more flexibility into them—for your own sake as well as for the fallible humans who populate your life.

QUIZunderstood ANSWERS ...to questions on page 7

1. D–An expanded Sports Authority.

2. C–Those aboard were rescued.

3. B–195-78 MRG

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Most parents would love to solve every problem for their children, but the sad truth is that many difficulties can’t be addressed by anyone other than those they concern; in fact, outside intervention may actually make the problem worse. That’s the case here. You’re probably sorely tempted to play the hero and fix the situation. It might even seem like you can. What will actually happen, though, is that you’ll swoop in, appear to do some good, but once you’re gone things will be, sadly, worse than they were before. It may break your heart, but accept the possibility that there’s not much you can do, besides be supportive and encouraging enough to empower those who are suffering to fix this situation for themselves.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

Relationships aren’t always convenient. In fact, they’re sometimes a downright pain in the ass. When you discover that you’re the one causing a hassle for someone else (instead of the other way around, as things usually are), it can sting. Please try to remember this: it doesn’t mean they don’t love, value, or respect you, just that they also have other things in their lives they care about, and that, by itself, will occasionally cause conflict. Don’t make a big deal about it, and it won’t be a big deal. It’s as simple as that.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Being a good friend to someone isn’t necessarily defined by what they think you ought to do for them. After all, some of our favorite people have pretty overblown senses of entitlement. However, not catering to their every whim doesn’t mean we don’t still adore them. You must be careful to keep your boundaries and limitations intact this week, as some of your needier friends may put them to the test. There’s a way to remain a loving, supportive, and generous friend, even if you must refuse some of their requests/ demands. Find it, and stick to it.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Your mind works differently than most. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong, or that the decisions you make are inferior; in fact, in many cases you’re simply wiser or more imaginatively creative than they can wrap their heads around. However, your wisdom and perspective come with a price; sometimes your choices truly are a little wacked out. That means when someone you respect vehemently questions a path you’ve chosen, you must take them seriously. Don’t simply roll over and change your mind because they said so, but earnestly consider doing so; it may save you from an embarrassing mistake.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

There’s “right” and then there’s right. While you may technically be correct in the situation at hand, there’s a deeper truth—a deeper rightness, if you will—that’s also in play. Don’t get carried away on a crusade that, while entirely within your rights, will only make you seem petty and small. You are neither of those. Look deeper here, and let go of the superficial truth of these circumstances, in order to see and embrace a kinder and more enlightened version of events, one in which, yes, you may have to let go of something you’ve been clinging to—but which you don’t really need—in order to let this situation play out the best way it can.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Some people are too forgiving of mistakes, and end up letting

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Resist your urge to sabotage things. You’ve had a tendency to do this in the past, often without good reason. It’s a self-destructive impulse that you shouldn’t beat yourself up for (we all have them), but you should try to resist it, especially this week. Instead of driving yourself nuts analyzing why you want to screw things up in the first place, just concentrate on avoiding doing so—which, ironically, will work best if you simply relax, smile, let go of your agenda, and try to simply enjoy whatever’s happening. In other words, the less you try to influence the situation, and instead simply participate in it, the better it’ll go.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Overreacting comes naturally for one as emotionally intense as you are, but it’s not necessarily cool, happiness-producing, or relationship-nurturing. Please accept that whatever your first reaction to a situation is, as honest and valid as it feels, it’s probably more than what you would eventually settle on as an appropriate response. Therefore, either edit it by about 50% before you allow the world to see, or simply stay neutral and wait until your inner emotions have settled to see what’s actually left. You can’t help feeling whatever it is you feel, but you can (and should) choose how you react to it, and how much of it you express.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

When you find yourself on a different side of the ethical fence than someone you’re working with, you’re right to express your concerns.

However, forcing them to conform to your views is as unlikely to be successful as them trying to get you to do what they want you to.

Speak up, but once you’ve said your piece, there’s nothing left for you to do but simply step aside. That doesn’t mean you need to participate in whatever you object to, just that making more of a stink serves no purpose, so if you’ve already voiced your thoughts to no avail, shut up, step aside, and move on.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Don’t take the blame for something that has little or nothing to do with you. I understand your urge to smooth things over, even if that means taking on burdens and responsibilities that aren’t yours, but accept that you can’t fix everything, particularly not by being a scapegoat for others’ troubles. You’re the diplomats of the zodiac, but recognize that not every conflict or problem is within your power to resolve. Some you have to let go of, or simply stay out of to begin with. The one before you this week falls into this category, so instead of banging your head against it, let it go, and go looking for someplace you can actually do some good.
