ANGRY BECAUSE WE NEVER RUN LETTERS You have to be feebleminded or incredibly stupid not to realized that the Federal Court Judge assigned to the Maui case is the same Judge who just held the Kauai case violated the preemption laws.

Once a higher political entity covers a subject matter, any further attempt by a lower political entity can’t take jurisdictional [sic] of this matter. Too bad SHAKA didn’t have to post all expenses that Maui County will have to spend to their causes in the Federal Court case, not necessarily the State court cases because the Maui Counsel can handle those without hiring outside Attys. All attempts by the County jurisdictions in Hawaii State to monitor GMO matters is going to be self defeating.

Why don’t your writers tell the public about this matter in this way?

Are you part of the feeble minded and incredibly stupid portions that live in our County? Or are there other reasons hidden in the catacombs of your paper? Why don’t you print letters to

the editor like other legitimate periodicals do? The Maui News prints letters to the editors exactly as sent to them.

Excellent on their part.

Look at what happened to Big Island GMO Law. Too bad you didn’t have guts enough to get out in front of the coming story. Its [sic] the same old story. Maui can afford the Federal Atty special counsel fees to see this Maui GMO fail[.] Get a little backbone in some of your stories. Just don’t recycle someone else [sic] ‘story.. Your original thoughts are welcomed in my reading of your weekly rag.

JUST HATES I’m a local Hawaiian guy, born and raised in Hawaii. The cartoon by Andrew Miller [Drew Toonz, Nov. 26, 2014] is not funny, not cool, about the Drew Toonz in Paia, the sugar cane. You guys gotta realize something–we’d rather have the sugar cane than way more people, especially the haoles, coming over here and plugging up our place. Remember now, you guys are guests here, okay? You guys are not Hawaiian. Remember that, guys. You guys better be mindful of that kine stuff. We don’t have to wanna go protest for this kine stuff, okay? So be careful of that kind of stuff you guys print. That’s not nice.

future “leaders” he says don’t exist. And far from being “in hiding,” they’re actually out in public–some even in elected office!

But then he’d actually be conducting a real search, rather than just regurgitating his own lazy biases and conclusions.

Seriously, it took me the whole of five minutes to come up with this list of individuals I believe meet the standards to be called a “leader” (there are many, many more out there, but I had other things to do that day): • Tulsi Gabbard, 33. Democratic US Representative for Hawaii’s 2nd District.

Captain in the Hawaii National Guard. Iraq War veteran.

Man, now is just not a good time to be a coral reef. I mean, it’s never really easy.

We think of corals as being rock-like, but they’re actually anything but. A Nov. 28 news release from the University of Hawaii breaks down coral’s precarious existence rather elegantly: “Coral reefs persist in a balance between reef construction and reef breakdown,” stated the news release. “As corals grow, they construct the complex calcium carbonate framework that provides habitat for fish and other reef organisms. Simultaneously, bioeroders, such as parrotfish and boring marine worms, break down the reef structure into rubble and the sand that nourishes our beaches. For reefs to persist, rates of reef construction must exceed reef breakdown.”

Any change in that balance threatens their existence. Back in November 2013, researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University of Hawaii announced that their data showed that the very traits that make corals so abundant may also put them at a disadvantage when having to deal with changes in ocean chemistry caused by climate change.

As levels of carbon dioxide rise in our atmosphere, the ocean’s acidity (pH) increases. Until recently, researchers just thought that increased acidity spelled doom for species like coral. But now, according to that Nov. 28 UH news release, even a lowering of our ocean’s pH level can be catastrophic for coral: Researchers with the university’s Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) began by using small blocks of dead coral skeleton (called “bioerosion blocks”). Their experiment involved placing these blocks on coral reefs for a year: “The researchers placed the bioerosion blocks along a 100-foot transect on shallow coral reef in Kane‘ohe Bay, taking advantage of natural variability of pH in coastal reefs,” stated the Nov. 28 UH news release. “The study compared the influence of pH, resource availability, temperature, distance from shore, and depth on accretion-erosion balance. Among all measured

variables, pH was the strongest predictor of accretion-erosion. Reefs shifted towards higher rates of erosion in more acidic water – a condition that will become increasingly common over the next century of climate change.”

Using high-resolution CT scans, the researchers were able to study accretion and erosion in the blocks in minute detail. Their findings don’t bode well for the species.

“It was surprising to discover that smallscale changes in the environment can influence ecosystem-level reef processes,” said Nyssa Silbiger, the lead study author and a doctoral candidate at the HIMB, in the news release. “We saw changes in pH on the order of meters and those small pH changes drove the patterns in reef accretion-erosion.”

“The sorrow we feel for the young of the day is they believe their parents’–and grandparents’–accomplishments are now their rights,” he lectures. “They are more comfortable arguing for their inheritance than working for their future–and fighting for a better life for their children.”

Sigh.

No evidence, no quotes, no names.

Just the hackneyed voice of an oldster bashing youth with a hammer etched with that damning “they.” Without a shred of evidence, he’s saying kids today don’t measure up to people like Harry Truman or Dwight Eisenhower (both mentioned favorably in the editorial, though both were too old to be in the “Greatest Generation”).

“Where are the leaders–and the followers– who will pick up the mantle of post World War II optimism and build a better America for the 21st century?” the op-ed asks at the

CRANKY MAUI NEWS DENOUNCES YOUTH If young people still read newspapers, they might be insulted by the Dec. 1 staff editorial in The Maui News.

“There are not many times we feel sorry for the young,” the editorial, titled “The search for leaders,” begins. After a lazy start slobbering over the virtues of the “Greatest Generation” and how they “won the Second World War” (tell that to the Russians), the editorial somehow becomes even lazier as the cranky writer (that would be Editor and Publisher Joe Bradley) does the journalistic equivalent of yelling at the kids to get off his lawn.

If only Cap would save us from cranky newspaper editors

end as though Captain America is a real person. “So far, they are in hiding.”

Double sigh.

Will someone please get Bradley a newspaper other than The Maui News? Or, at least, a computer that's hooked up to the new-fangled Interwebs thing?

Perhaps if he reads news from other organizations–some even located in Hawaii!–he might just find a few of those

• Bao Nguyen, 34. Recently elected mayor of Garden Grove, California. Born in a Thai refugee camp, he’s the first Vietnamese-American mayor of a city with more than 100,000 residents.

And that’s just what I found using the Internet. Imagine who I’d locate if I actually worked at it?

Locally, we’ve also got people like state Rep. Kaniela Ing (25) and former state Senate candidate Terez Amato (37). Ing got himself elected to the Hawaii House of Representatives not long after he left graduate school and Amato, a mother of four, is an up-and-coming activist in the Maui Democratic Party.

All of the above are leaders. Their methods may vary substantially from the white men who ran the U.S. in 1940s and ’50s, but they are nonetheless out there in the nation right now trying to “build a better America.” ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro For more news articles, visit our website at: mauitimecom

“At 7:55 a.m., the exact moment the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor began 73 years ago, a moment of silence will be observed,” states the National Park Service news release.

“A U.S. Navy ship will render honors to the USS Arizona and all Pearl Harbor survivors, and a flyover will be conducted above Pearl Harbor. The ceremony will conclude with a ‘Walk of Honor’ by Pearl Harbor Survivors and other World War II Veterans through an honor cordon of military service members and National Park Service men and women.”

Closer to home, on Dec. 7 the Story of Hawaii Museum at the Queen Ka‘ahumanu Center in Kahului will be presenting a new exhibit titled “The Pacific Theater 1941-1945.” That exhibit will include a display on the Fourth Marine Division’s encampment in Haiku during the war.

“This show picks up from last year’s exhibit, “Pearl Harbor Revisited”, a view from both sides featuring artifacts from Japan and the United States,” said Bryant Neal, curator of the museum, in a Dec. 1 news release. “At that exhibit, visitors and residents asked us ‘what part did Maui play in the war?’ This current

Of course, there will be a lot of top brass speaking at the ceremony: Paul DePrey, Superintendent, WWII Valor in the Pacific National Monument; Rear Admiral Richard Williams, Commander, Navy Region and Hawaii and Naval Surface Group Middle Pacific; and Gen. Lori J. Robinson, Commander, Pacific Air Forces. Robinson will give the keynote address.

News Of The Weird SEX MOUNTAIN UPDATE!

5 UNITS FREE FOR EVERY 20 UNITS OF BOTOX PURCHASED

Indonesia’s holy “Sex Mountain” on the island of Java is still performing its incomprehensible function of making Muslims feel prosperous and optimistic if they have intercourse with strangers, as reported in November by Australia’s “SBS Dateline” TV program. A reporter journeyed to Mount Kemukus (near the heavily populated Surakarta) to observe the mass adultery whose origin dates to the 16th century. Otherwisedevout pilgrims pray, bathe and pair off with other worshippers (repeating the ritual seven times, 35 days apart) to bring themselves the good life–except that the sex must be with people other than their spouses. Clerics generally denounce the Kemukus experience, but more so since prostitutes (collecting “offerings”) are lately so plentiful at the site.

A crash of three tractor-trailers on Interstate 24 near Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Nov. 9 left a pile-up of one truck’s load of eggs, another’s pallets of cheese, and the other’s boxes of meat.

PARROTS AND SNAKES A November story from Leigh-on-Sea, England, reported that a Senegal parrot (apparently feeling restive with its owners on holiday) managed to pick two locks on its cage and fly away. The second lock had been installed as insurance after an earlier lock-picking escape. Also, a missing African gray parrot was returned to its Torrance, California, owner in October after a hiatus– in which the parrot had learned to speak Spanish. On the other hand, a hungry fivefoot-long black rat snake in Verona, Pennsylvania, had to be saved by surgery after it failed to distinguish between chicken eggs in a coop (tasty) and a nearby ceramic egg (life-threatening organ failure).

CULTURAL DIVERSITY Various cogs in South Korea’s national machinery paused briefly on Nov. 13 so as not to distract the nation’s high-school-age kids, as 650,000 of them were sitting for the decisive university entrance exams (which are several levels more important than the SATs or ACTs for American students). Large companies and government agencies told employees to commute later in the morning–to keep traffic lighter for students traveling to the 1,257 test centers–and “no-fly” zones reduced noise during the 40-minute period in which students tested aurally on the English language.

Comprehensive Pentagon studies of America’s nuclear missile infrastructure released in November (following disturbing reports of readiness failures) included the revelation that nuclear warheads had to be attached with a particular wrench, even though the Air Force owned only one with which to service 450 missiles housed at three bases.

Consequently, one official told The New York Times, “They started FedExing the one tool” back and forth. No one had checked in years, he said, “to see if new tools were being made”–typical of maintenance problems that had “been around so long that no one reported them anymore.”

London’s Daily Telegraph reported in November that a gardener hired by the House of Commons had spent a day pulling colorchanging leaves from trees on the Westminster Palace grounds–because it would be more cost-effective than to rake them up after they fell. The gardener (whose name sounds right out of a James Bond adventure– ”Annabel Honeybun”) said she had 145 trees to service. A local environmentalist lamented denying autumn visitors “one of the few pleasures at this time of year.”

FREE YOUTH HELMET

currently festering in drug-cartel-roiled Mexico and Central America and is, according to Vice Media, “the world’s fastest growing” religion.

“Saint Death” first appeared only 12 years ago, in the Mexico City barrio of Tepito, and is now a first line of protection for worshippers in danger zones. (Almost 80,000 Mexicans have been killed in drug-related violence since 2006,Vice reported.) Said an author who has studied the religion, “People feel more comfortable asking (Santa Muerte) for favors they probably shouldn’t ask a Catholic saint for.”

“Santa Muerte” (Our Lady of the Holy Death) might be described as a cynic’s unauthorized byproduct of Roman Catholicism

One of the questions offered in testing by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg (North Carolina) school district for high school biology in November sought students’ understanding of dominant and recessive genes with this puzzle: “LaShamanda has a heterozygous big bootie, the dominant trait. Her man Fontavius has a small bootie which is recessive. They get married and have a baby named LaPrincess. What is the probability that LaPrincess will inherit her mama’s big bootie?” Charlotte TV station WBTV was unable to confirm that the school system created the question, even though the question was apparently distributed with other system materials.

CRY FOR HELP Mr. Jenya Bolotov, 26, a Russian, became an Internet sensation in November (on Facebook,YouTube and several news sites) by releasing photographs showing a sevenyear obsession with modifying his face to resemble that of a platypus. He has stretched eight parts of his face to effect a duck-billed look, with holes on the sides of his nostrils and plugs extending his lips. “I can eat, talk and speak on the phone like everyone else,” he insisted, but is happier now that he can “live differently.” Some Internet commenters complained that, while Bolotov’s face is certainly “creepy,” they cannot quite conjure up “platypus” from the look. ■

Stream Down The drama found on Akaku, Maui’s public access cable station, is nothing compared to what’s going on behind the cameras.

By Anthony Pignataro

F

or the people who provide public access cable television in Maui County, their whole reason for being is speaking out. “Empowering the community’s voice through access to media”–that’s the motto of Akaku, which runs local cable channels 53, 54 and 55 for the community. That means the station airs programming that’s often at odds with the messages crafted by the county’s government officials, corporations and establishment. Controversy is something Akaku has embraced for pretty much its entire two-decade history.

So there’s a good deal of irony wrapped up in the manner in which the station is treating Shawn Michael, a 13-year employee who’s served the last two years as Akaku’s Programming Director. On or about Oct. 20, Akaku CEO Jay April placed Michael on probation.

The reason, according to Michael, is that Michael committed “insubordination” by telling April he didn’t want go to a private morning meeting with April, but preferred a general staff meeting. According to Michael, this angered April, who then placed him on probation when Michael showed up to the meeting.

A week later, Michael appeared at the Oct. 28 Akaku Board Meeting. Michael then read a long statement to the board, a copy of which I obtained. In the statement, Michael told the board he’d been placed on probation, then went on to call Akaku a “hostile work environment.” He also laid

10 DECEMBER 4, 2014

blame for the environment on April.

“Akaku suffers from an atmosphere and culture of bullying, harassment, incompetence, hostility and nepotism,” Michael told the board. “Why can we not have a performance review ordered of the CEO after all these years of him collecting an approximate six figure salary from the community? Why can we not have the board investigate allegations of harassment, intimidation and bullying of employees?”

Michael said that the work environment was causing him a long list of problems: fear, stress, emotional exhaustion, panic attacks, sleep disruption, mood swings, loss of concentration, sadness, headaches, irritable bowel disorder and chronic fatigue syndrome. “I have these symptoms,” Michael told the board. “Every single one.

This is not a game.”

He added that April had forbidden him from talking to anyone about his probation, then went on to read from an email April had sent him. “Please keep this controversy under your hat,” April emailed Michael, according to Michael’s testimony. “Dissension and misunderstanding in the ranks is never a good thing and it is a problem with your help I am confident we will resolve.”

Michael also called upon the Board Chairman–Gene Zarro–and April to resign.

Failing that, he called on the board to relieve April of his “power to hire and fire and make financial transactions as CEO” until the board could look into his allegations.

“Now that the cat is out [of] the bag and aired openly I see [no] way to turn back now,” Michael concluded, according to a written copy of his testimony. “Some serious decisions need to be made about how to best fulfill Akaku’s mission to serve the interests of the community.”

The board didn’t act openly on Michael’s allegations that day, though Michael said they did go into executive session. But the next day, April emailed Michael.

“Since you were unable to comply with our agreed upon conditions of employment outlined in my October 20, 2014 memorandum I have placed you on Administrative Leave with pay for a period of two weeks,” April said in the email, a copy of which I obtained. “The Board has designated a committee to review the allegations you have brought before it and will make a determination as to their merits or lack thereof as soon as the review can be completed.”

April then warned Michael against being “disruptive during this process,” and said that he would no longer be able to access Akaku programming or email.

Though the board apparently set up an investigation committee to look into Michael’s charges, April terminated Michael two weeks after he placed him on administrative leave. According to Michael, he maintained a clean employment record at the station, and the termination was retaliation for his speaking out against April and to the Board.

This was not an easy story to report.

Akaku, one of the last indepdent media organizations left on Maui, is an old friend of MauiTime. We run ads for the station in our issues and have shared resources on election nights.

Back in 2008, we called the station the “pirates of public access.” At the time, then-editor Jacob Shafer quoted April as comparing media access to a city, with community access being the park–an apt metaphor that explains just how important a station like Akaku can be to the larger community.

“Anything can happen in the park,” April said in the Oct. 2, 2008 story.

“Someone might get up and deliver the Gettysburg address; someone else might piss in the bushes. But either way, you need the park.”

But April refused to comment for this story. “We don’t comment on internal or personnel affairs,” he told me. Board Chairman Gene Zarro didn’t return a call for comment.

Akaku is a nonprofit organization that first incorporated in 1992 (its nonprofit status was confirmed two years later). It draws a substantial portion of its funds from the local cable company, made possible through the 1984 Federal Communications Act. “Akaku: Maui Community Media is designated by the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) to

before the Akaku board bears this out.

When Michael first hired onto Akaku, Sean McLaughlin was the president and CEO. “He had rules for staff back then that seemed counter-intuitive to me,” Michael told the board. “There were rules against staff producing and covering things just because we wanted to. Everything had to be accounted for–there was not the ‘Commercial Network TV’ model like we are operating under today.”

McLaughlin’s philosophy, as Michael saw it and took to heart, was that Akaku was simply a place for the community to bring their voices. It had no voice of its own.

But in 2005, the Akaku board fired McLaughlin–the result of a involved series of actions and controversies too convoluted to go into here (dramatic terminations are nothing new for the station). The station didn’t quiet down until early 2007 when April–who had been a member of the board–took over as president and CEO. There’s no question April came to the station’s leadership with a lot of television experience.

“Mr. April is a television producer, director, video journalist and artist whose work has been featured on many national networks and won awards from film festivals worldwide,” states the Akaku website.

“Credits include special correspondent to CNN’s Environmental Unit, the TODAY Show on NBC and the much acclaimed PBS series, The 90s. He was responsible for the successful start up of E! Entertainment Television as a founding producer, and he has produced, directed, written and shot hundreds of television segments and commercial spots in a variety of genres. His documentaries about ecology and American culture have been called, ‘prolific and passionate’ by The Wall Street Journal, ‘poi-

SHAWN MICHAEL provide Public, Education and Government Access (PEG) for Maui County,” states the station’s website (akaku.org). “Akaku recieves [sic] it[s] funding, in part, from the local cable franchisee, Oceanic Time Warner Cable. Akaku: Maui Community Media operates as a non-profit 501(c)3 community organization that provides education, classes, training, workshops, editing, field and studio facilities for the Maui County residents to express its right to free speech through public access to the media.”

Though Michael and two other former Akaku staffers I spoke with were highly critical of Akaku’s office environment (all three used the word “hostile” to describe working conditions there), they were all highly supportive of the station’s mission. “I love Akaku,” one of these former employees told me. “I was good at my job and still miss it.”

Another former employee spoke highly of April’s dedication to that mission.

“I shared his passion for free speech,” the former employee told me (though they no longer work at the station, neither former staffer felt secure enough to speak out publicly; both also agreed that the station was every bit as stressful as Michael testified to the Akaku board).

Akaku is best known for broadcasting Maui County Council hearings (the full council as well as its various committees).

But they also broadcast a wide range of public affairs and education programming.

will call to attend the July 15 or July 17 hearings or to submit written comments

by July 25 to DCCA [Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs]. If I do not receive these by the end of today, consider yourself volunteering not to work here anymore. If you have a problem with this request come and tell me why.”

That apparently wasn’t the only time April spoke loosely to employees about sacking them if they didn’t do as he asked. Michael told the Akaku board during his testimony that his getting placed on probation happened after receiving a voicemail from April “that I can consider myself no longer employed at Akaku if I didn’t attend a 9am meeting in private with him the next morning.”

But Michael’s charges of hostility and “bullying” went far beyond April’s email style.

“We as staff last year already were required to attend sensitivity training with the CEO present,” Michael told the board.

“He cracked jokes most of the time and excused his chaotic behavior, yelling and cussing as ‘part of the culture’ of this industry. Is that part of Board of Akaku’s culture to allow staff to be treated like that? He was informed that that [sic] behavior was inappropriate, he disagreed and compared our office to a movie studio lot where certain forms of aggressive and inappropriate behavior are just part of the culture. That meeting was videotaped, I have no need to make things up.”

Since April’s taking over the station, the makeup of the Akaku board and staff has almost completely changed. Indeed, until his termination Michael was the station’s most senior member.

What happens next isn’t clear. Though April terminated Michael (who says his

‘‘I fear the longer the CEO and the Board Chairman wait to resign and the longer the board delays to take action against him the uglier it will get.’’

On election night, candidates flock to Akaku for interviews. At a time of declining media of all types, nationally and locally, Akaku provides a vital point of access for any and all members of the community.

According to Michael, that’s what first brought him to the station more than a dozen years ago. “I came to Akaku as a fan of public access TV and Akaku specifically in 2002 to apply for a job opening to work at the front desk,” Michael said in his testimony before the Akaku board. “During my interview I alluded to the fact that I actually watch the County Council and public meetings and enjoy them. I was immediately hired to work the ‘Special Projects’ production department at the time.”

Other than April, I was only able to reach one current member of the Akaku staff. That person, who also requested anonymity, said Michael had been unhappy at the station for “a long time” and that his problems stemmed from a “philosophical difference” between Michael and April. Michael’s own testimony

gnant’ by the LA Weekly, and ‘provocative’

by The Los Angeles Times.”

But one former employee told me that April–who made $93,080 in salary and $9,904 in “additional compensation” in 2012, according to the most recent Akaku tax filings available–also brought a curious management style to the station. “He has a theory of ‘chaos management,’” the former employee told me. “He waits until the last minute on everything. He also said that he’s gotten fired from every job he’s ever had. He’s very proud of that.”

Emails sent from April to Akaku staff obtained by MauiTime show a rough and tumble style of management more typically found in an aggressive combat unit than a public access cable station. One email from July of this year, sent by April to the staff as a whole, calls for testimony against the Comcast merger with Time Warner.

“Names were due at 10am today,” April wrote in his email. “I need 5 names and phone numbers of people you have or

final paycheck didn’t include his 300 hours of accrued vacation time), there is apparently a board investigation of the charges he leveled against April. How long that investigation will take, who it will interview and when the Akaku board will meet again remain open questions.

“I fear the longer the CEO and the Board Chairman wait to resign and the longer the board delays to take action against him the uglier it will get,” Michael told me. “There is an avalanche of complaints and allegations awaiting that have yet to be heard and not just from me. I’m prepared to see this through till the end. I’m fighting a battle on behalf of many employees past and present and also for the community that suffers from his [April’s] mismanagement of the resource that is Akaku. I have the truth on my side and nothing to hide.” ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro For more news articles, visit our website at: mauitime.com

ings. Coming from a background in television, film, real estate and property management, he reached out to other experienced restaurateurs and music professionals to help him “find his way.”

“Our goal with Charley’s is to continue to dramatically improve the food and service, offering as much locally sourced products as we can, while keeping our prices appropriate for those people that live in Maui year-round,” he says.

He’s in good hands. Chef Chewy Cereceres has a background in fine dining, with his last gig as Executive Chef at Hali’imaile General Store. He’s been at Charley’s just about a year, and if the crowd this past Sunday morning is any indication, the food is slamming. Cereceres says it was a big change in dining concept, but he says his kitchen crew is working well now.

He even has a new toy in the kitchen–a smoker–and a new BBQ menu should be rolling out in the next month or so. I was excited to hear his smoker is working on recipes for all proteins: pork, beef, chicken and tofu. This is Paia, after all.

Cereceres has taken Charley’s breakfast standards up a notch, adding some

dough and parm crust. The Meat Lover and Smokey Joe are served on hoagies, and the Veggie Lovers sounds amazing with its arugula, sunflower sprouts, avo-Greek yogurt and tempeh bacon served on Maui Crunch Bread. It’s enough food for lunch and leftovers. They also have pizzas made on Charley’s house-made dough with gluten-free versions available.

Chef Chewy recommended the fried chicken which blew me away. Tender boneless breast meat blanketed in buttermilk sounds simple, but it has been made into a work of art at Charley’s. Plus Friday nights it's just $13.

Charley’s has a couple kama’aina specials.

There’s their Everyday Ohana Pizza party ($32): A large two-topping pizza, two large salads, two desserts and soda. Then there’s Tex Mex Tuesday: soft and hard shell tacos, burritos and taco salads. And the aforementioned Fried Chicken Friday.

ith all the changes that are going on in Paia, it’s nice to know that Charley’s Restaurant and Saloon isn’t going anywhere. They aren’t planning a huge makeover, either. So far in the three or so years since Jonathan Herman procured the establishment, he’s been making subtle changes to the menu with the idea to keep Charley’s good for what it’s known for.

“The original owner, Jim Fuller, is a long-time family friend,” Herman says.

“I happened to be in the room when he announced to some of his closest friends that he was finally selling Charley’s. He had struck a deal with somebody who planned to change it completely. I pulled Jim to the side and wondered if there was a way we could keep Charley’s Charley’s.

I wanted to honor the legacy and the history and to keep it going.”

Charley’s first opened as a juice stand on Front Street in 1969 but soon after moved to Paia. 45 years later, it’s a North Shore tradition. Herman says it’s his first restaurant, but he’s always had a passion for music, nightlife and hosting gather-

beautiful touches. Imagine thick cut French toast with caramel, bananas and mac nuts or pancakes in every flavor–blueberry, whole wheat, chocolate chip–all covering a 10-inch plate. Fluffy buttermilk biscuits smothered in sausage gravy passed the discerning Southern palate of my breakfast cohort.

The breakfast potatoes are crisp and flavorful, served around the Eggs Benedict perfect for dredging up tangy leftover house-made hollandaise. The Benedicts come in veggie, turkey, mahi, blackened mahi and traditional versions. My blackened mahi Benedict was a good twist on the original–and still just $12 for a full order. The loco moco is a half-pound, pasture-raised, hormone-free beauty, piled high with crispy onions and smothered in a luscious mushroom gravy.

Sunday mornings at Charley’s also features their super-fun do-it-yourself Bloody Mary bar. I have to admit Charley’s makes

Bloody Bar Rules

some of the best damn Bloodys around, stuffed with celery and green olives, but there’s a lot of merrymaking around the DIY table. Here’s our hack: do it yourself at least once to make new friends at the bar, then have Charley’s make the next one. Vote which was better.

At lunch, the menu is extensive. Burgers are famous here, dressed in soft onion rolls with plenty of fancy toppings (the homemade bourbon BBQ sauce really makes the beef patty rock your tastebuds, so don’t leave without trying it). Veggie heads have lots of options like smoked tempeh and Maui Taro patty burgers. Starters like ahi poke are inspired with teriyaki and ginger slaw and will be quickly devoured. Their Mediterranean Salad is made with a local touch–mac nuts meet feta on Haiku greens with a Meyer lemon vinaigrette finish.

The paninis and sandwiches are also spectacular. I loved the Grilled Chicken Pesto, stuffed with mozzarella and roasted red peppers and served on a crisp sour-

3-6pm, with $3 drafts and wells and $4 house wine. Live music starts at 6:30pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and every Monday has open mic at 7pm.

This Friday, Pio Marasco and Sandwich Island Bass present Mezzanine at 9:30pm, and Saturday Justin Morris hosts Freeradicals Projekt with Sicnickles at 10pm.

“Everything we do is for the locals,” says Herman. “The food we offer, the prices and even our entertainment. We know that if Charley’s is the kind of place that locals come to, the visitors will also want to be here. In addition to food and service, we have worked hard to continue and improve the music tradition at Charley’s. We are the North Shore gathering place. Charley’s is where the people of the North Shore come to listen to music, to dance and to have fun!” ■ jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso For more foodie news, visit MauiTime’s website at: mauitime.com

Music is another important component to the vintage weekend, with Makana performing at the Ocean Front Gala and violinst Elizabeth Pitcairn on her famed Red Violin on Sunday.

here’s a unique wine experience waiting for you at the third annual Vintage Wine Weekend at the Four Seasons. It’s three days of luxurious wine events: Gala Friday night, the Private Cellar Event on Saturday and an ultra-premium wine dinner gastronomically inspired by a mysterious violin on Sunday. The weekend features menus masterminded by Executive Chef Roger Stettler and wines chosen by Master Som-

melier Roberto Viernes.

Viernes took care to select fine wines from small production wineries. Finding these wines on your own would be nearly impossible; it’s much easier to see what Viernes cultivates on his own. Vintners Dan Kosta of Kosta Browne, Donald Patz of Patz & Hall, Gary Burk of Costa de Oro, Steve Clifton of Brewer Clifton, Paul Lato of Paul Lato Wines, Justin Willett of Tyler Winery and Christopher Carpenter of Cardinale Estate will also be there. The common factor in each of these artisanal wine producers is passion for their processes–each is unique in their individual approaches, but the results are all breathtaking wines.

At the Ocean Front Gala on Friday, 40 selected vintages will be presented alongside action stations inspired by local farmers and food purveyors like Waipoli Aquaponics, Malama Farms, Beef and Bloom, Zuhair Tomato, Hawaii Fish Auction and Maui Cheese Co. You’ll see displays of whole fish, spitroasted pig, vine-ripened tomatoes. What’s more, the menu reads like a fine evening of grazing: crudo, sashimi and sushi, steamed bao, dry-aged bone-in rib eye, burrata and balsamic salad and goat cheese arancini with chutneys and perky Upcountry fruits.

Saturday’s innovative La Paulee-inspired event has the special distinction in that everyone must bring a bottle to share. Four Seasons will be bringing a magnum of 1998 Villemart Cuvee Creation. Even bottles valued at $3,000 were opened

SUNDAY FUNDAY The First Sunday series by Hawaii on TV hits its third installment this coming weekend with an appearance by Grammy-winning Sonny Lim at the Hula Grill. The series features a different award-winning Hawaiian artist every month. So far, Paula Fuga and Kawika Kahiapo have appeared, and the Hula Honeys are scheduled for January.

Producer Ken Martinez Burgmaier says the idea is to share pure aloha with the guests at Hula Grill, with visitors and locals families alike flocking to shows.

Hula Grill is also making it easy to enjoy yourself at First Sunday. Recognized for supporting local ag in their menu, they’ve received the Mayor’s Friend of Agriculture Award. Their outstanding menu highlights local ingredients and farmers from tropical fruit salad to Waipoli Farm greens to Hawaii Ranchers cattle.

The show easily turns into a kanikapila with other musical guests showing up like John Keawe, Uncle Richard Ho’opi’i, Brother Noland and CJ He-

lekahi. All events have Na Hoku-winner Benny Uyetake performing too, and there are always other surprises as well.

The Long-Haired Guru Learn how Hinduism came to America in ‘Awake: The Life of Yogananda’ ★★★★★ Rated PG / 87 Min.

was conscious in my Mother’s womb, feeling the movement in her body, aware of my helpless state of existence.” These are the opening lines of Awake: The Life of Yogananda, a documentary about the Hindu guru who brought the religion to America. The dialogue is recited over the imagery of the camera underwater, looking up at the sky. We’re hearing the words of Yogananda, the Indian mystic who authored The Autobiography of a Yogi and created a movement in the United States that embraced the teachings of Hinduism, the practice of Yoga and the act of deep meditation.

Those who practice Yoga and are Hindus are, to state the obvious, already familiar with this history lesson. I am not an authority on the religion and skeptical in my attitude towards it, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t taken by this documentary, directed

by Paola di Florio and Lisa Leeman. The story of how this long-haired guru, who spoke eloquently but presented highly unorthodox ideas, came to be accepted in the

‘‘I

U.S. is presented with engrossing historical footage and dreamy, mystical imagery that compliments the subject matter.

Seeing snippets from the life of Yogananda, both in reenactments and black and white footage, we learn how daunting his quest was. Receiving an audience in the early years of the 20th century was no small feat, as one of the talking heads explains, “Telling people God is in the spine was a radical thought for the 1920s!”

Exactly how far did the teachings of Yogananda reach the westerners? Among those interviewed are Deepak Chopra, music legend and mogul Russell Simmons and Bikram Choudhury, the founder of Bikram Yoga. The one that blew me away was George Harrison, who testified that he couldn’t imagine his life without reading the Yogananda’s book, which he claimed to frequently give away to friends.

Awake is most fascinating when recounting of the Yogi’s journey throughout America, where he began his movement, though there are other eye-opening moments. I was intrigued by the Yogi’s stating his affection for Jesus Christ, the argument that science compliments yoga (as it applies to how we’re

Deep meditation can do many things, but boat steering? Probably not.

all made of molecules) and the reminder that Gandhi was a Yogi. In fact, we see footage of the emaciated Mohandas Gandhi, in which his tiny, humble frame is a contrast to the full, imposing figure of Yogananda.

Much is made of the Yogananda’s eyes, which is understandable. In eerie close-ups, one can’t deny the hypnotic quality of the Yogi’s gaze, both warm and creepy. A follower comments on how the Yogi “looked at me penetratingly, he was changing me.”

This unsettling aside hints at the more balanced direction the film never takes. Awake is engaging enough for non-believers but it does mean to present a Hindu Sunday School lesson and doesn’t provide a counterpoint or conflicting view to any of the subject matter.

At times, I found the central figure to have the qualities of a cult-like figure, despite the voice over expressing his view that,

“when I heard the word Guru, it frightened me, as I know what a responsibility it was.”

It would have made this fuller and possibly definitive on its subject, had the filmmakers acknowledged that, perhaps, not everyone believed in “the autobiography of a genuine Indian yoga man.”

This is accessible for the uninitiated, though best suited for those who already believe in the teachings of the subject matter. The film’s best sequence is its last, as we see many believers in worship and/or meditation, from all over the world. Set to Alanis Morissette’s terrific “Still,” it ends the documentary on a strong note. This closing portion more than reminds us just how remarkable it is that the Yogananda’s mission to spread his beliefs and instill a new mindset, have been carried out, a century later and all over the planet. ■

by Caeriel Crestin

Horoscope

Sign Language SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

There’ll be no deus ex machina here. You won’t find a magic talisman that’ll save your ass. Nor will anyone swoop in to rescue you. You’ve got many distant well-wishers at the moment, but no proximate helping hands. You’re on your own. Luckily, you’ve been in (and escaped from) worse scrapes than this. The only thing keeping you from pulling yourself out is the forlorn hope that someone might help you do it. Now that I’ve shattered that useless wish, you should be able to pick yourself up and move on, no problem.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

You’re a magician who sucks at misdirection. You’re trying to enchant your audience by pulling colorful silk scarves from your mouth, but everyone’s too busy thinking: “Um, that person’s not wearing any pants.” You’ve actually got quite a few tricks stashed up your sleeves, but no one cares because you’ve made what’s missing all too obvious. Yeah, you’re flawed, just like everybody else. The difference is, you pay too much attention to what’s “wrong” with you. Consequently, we can’t help but do the same.

Perform a bit of prestidigitation on our collective perception this week. Focus on what’s right. We will too.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Don’t mistake comic rhetoric for accurate information. Whether you get your fake news from FOX or Jon Stewart, please realize: infotainment is no substitute for really knowing your shit. Luckily, you don’t have to shovel that deep–most of what you require can be found in your alterno-weekly and the Internet.

Too many people would prefer you remain uninformed. This week, get the facts. You’ll need them.

QUIZ understood

ANSWERS

...to questions from page 4

1: B–$60 million 2: C–Resume planning for an inter-island ferry.

3: E–Automated Teller Machine

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Don’t throw dogmatism a bone. Those recent converts to vegetarianism, communism or Fundamentalist Christianity might need to loudly trumpet their uncompromising viewpoints while they’re still trying them on for size, but you don’t need to listen to that shit. You’ve heard it all before.

Forgive them (especially if they’re too young to know better (I’m talking 15, not 35)), but don’t accommodate them. Nor is it your job to teach them about multiplicity and diversity. Eventually these enthusiasts will figure out (or they won’t) that theirs isn’t the only way. If they manage to get past judging you for being different, you can celebrate by taking them to a porn shop to spend lots of money on some hot leather underwear.

tattoos by Rachel G

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

You claim to choose truth over deception. What happens when the lies are beautiful–perhaps even harmless–and the truth is slightly less enchanting?

This week, you’ll be faced with a choice like this: standing behind a lie that everyone wants to believe, and would, if you lent it your endorsement, or revealing the bald reality under the toupee, the man behind the curtain, the smoke and mirrors. Sadly, your options are less-than appealing: incurring anger (and respect) by shattering people’s cherished illusions, or accepting love for something that’s simply not real. Tough one; good luck.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

We inhabit the places we live in with more than just our bodies. The spaces we’re surrounded by influence our thoughts. What effects do flat surfaces, straight lines, and right angles wreak on our minds? How would we be different if everything around us was wavy, bumpy, or round? Pisces, especially, would benefit, since you are more restrained by harsh linearity than most. This week, see what you can do to make your environment less restrictive and square. Give yourself room to expand and flow. Transforming where you live and work might require extreme creativity. Luckily, that’s part of the exercise.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

There are things I like about the Christmas season: twinkling lights, the smell of pine sap and excited children. Too bad there’s a lot of crap that comes with that I’d just as soon do without. Unfortunately, it’s all as unavoidable as the things I’ve already mentioned. You have similarly mixed feelings about someone who’s recently assumed (or offered to assume) a greater role in your life, or potentially changing circumstances. You’ve been wasting time wistfully wishing you could edit and select certain parts.

Too bad this is a package deal; bad with the good.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

A dancer was selected to manifest the glacial slowness of stone in an experimental group performance in which everyone attempted to embody different natural elements. For two months he practiced moving as slowly as he could, from a curled fetal position on the ground to simply standing, until it took him 45 minutes to complete the action. You may discover something similar this week: sprinting two hundred miles in any direction (mentally, anyway) is easier than carefully and deliberately shifting your attitude two inches. You don’t need an overhaul, though–just a tune-up. Take your time and do it right.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

A woman auctioned her father’s ghost on eBay. Her son was afraid to be alone in any part of the house; he claimed his recently-dead grandfather (who was mean) haunted him. Instead of trying to disprove the shade’s existence or shame her kid, she simply sold the ghost (along with her father’s cane) to the highest bidder, who sent her son a letter, reassuring him that the ghost lived with them now, and everyone was getting along fine. Take inspiration from her example. You’re likely to discover that someone’s reality is dramatically different from yours. Instead of forcing them to conform to what you think you know, figure out a way to honor their truth–and have fun with it, too.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

A few years back I watched a Berlin-based drag king brass band performing covers of old-school reggae hits, and I had to laugh. That’s good shit; watching a bunch of white German lesbians wearing fake mustaches and singing Bob Marley’s best with good-hearted glee. They’d made a surprising choice, just as I wish you would. You could do what everyone expects you to do. You might even get paid for it. But would it really satisfy you (or anyone)? Probably not. Don’t be predictable.

Don’t let people sum you up with: “She’s so reliable.” Make it, instead: “I can always rely on her to keep me guessing–and laughing.”

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

You’re an injured soccer goalie trying to block the potentially winning shot delivered by the opposing team’s best player, in the final seconds of the game. The pressure’s on. But face facts–you’re simply not likely to be able to save this one. That’s just the way shit happens sometimes. Don’t spend the next few weeks kicking yourself (or letting anyone kick you) because you weren’t able to do the impossible. Just shrug it off and get on with life. It’s just a game, after all.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Easy come, easy go. Take a look at how people have come into your life; they’re likely to leave the same way. But a friendship that’s built slowly over time is more likely to last than one that’s formed overnight.

And if your girlfriend cheated on her last boyfriend to hook up with you, it’s pretty likely you’ll get the same treatment, sooner or later. There’s no need for suspicion–just caution. I don’t mean to say people don’t change. They do, all the time. Just don’t count on it.

Or, at least, don’t count on it this week.
