CONTROVERSIAL UBER COMES TO MAUI Looks like Uber, the service that lets people book auto rides through their smartphones has finally made it to Maui, going live on Thursday, Dec. 18. According to a Pacific Business News blog post that went up the same day, the service has already been running in Honolulu since 2013.

At least Pacific Business News bothered to mention that the service is “controversial:” “Uber has been praised for its convenience and cost compared to taxi cabs, but it has also has been criticized for failing to properly vet its drivers,” stated the PBN post. “Just this week, a Boston Uber driver was charged with rape.”

Uber and competitors like Lyft are extremely profitable, but the service is controversial for a lot more reasons than just that. Cab companies hate Uber because it apparently works, and has been drawing scores of customers away from them while not having to deal with traditional taxi regulations and permits. Then there’s the whole corporate culture angle.

Earlier this year, journalist Sarah Lacy of Pando Daily eviscerated the company’s corporate leadership, describing it as full of “bad boy behavior and arrogance” and “sexism and misogyny.” This, she wrote, completely undermines Uber’s whole mission: “Uber is a company that presents itself as a way for people to get home safely after a night of drinking,” Lacy wrote. “Uber passengers are often locked, alone, late at night in a metal box with Uber drivers. Because of the service Uber offers as a company, the CEO and its investors need to go out of their way to set the tone that objectification of women is simply not acceptable.”

Uber management’s response to Lacy– speculating that they might hire investigative reporters to look into those who’ve written critically of the company–spurred further controversy.

Of course, none of that made in into MauiNow.com’s post on Uber’s arrival, which went online two hours after the PBN post and serves as nothing more than an unpaid commercial advertisement.

“According to [their] announcement, Uber prides itself on meeting the needs of the traveling public by saving time, and providing value and convenience,” stated the MauiNow post by Wendy Osher. “A company announcement touts the service as ‘better, faster and cheaper than a taxi.’”

NATURE CONSERVANCY HAWAII MAKES A&B’S CHRISTOPHER BENJAMIN BOARD CHAIRMAN The Nature Conservancy protects about 119 million acres in 35 nations. For the natural world, this is a big deal.

But at the same time, The Nature Conservancy isn’t your average environmental nonprofit organization. Consider it devoted to the practice of “eco-pragmatism”–the view that the changes wrought on nature by humanity and industrialization are here to stay, and the best way to protect the world

Overheard MAN: “Oh, look: Fruit Loops!”

WOMAN: No, no Fruit Loops.”

MAN: “Come on!”

WOMAN: “No! No Fruit Loops!”

of The Nature Conservancy.”

I think Benjamin is being serious and sincere in those statements. But I also believe that his view of the Conservancy’s “mission” is strikingly different than that usually advocated by environmentalists and biologists, who tend to see corporations and industrialization as enemies of the natural world’s preservation. And for his part, Benjamin hasn’t exactly been apologetic about the role his own corporation played in the reshaping of Hawaii’s water and land.

“The plantation lifestyle built this state,” Benjamin told the Wall Street Journal back in 2010, when he was working as Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar’s general manager. “Our use of water is absolutely in the public interest.”

Still, the news release makes clear that The Nature Conservancy of Hawaii is very PHOTO COURTESY THE NATURE CONSERVANCY OF HAWAII

from corporate harm is by making environmentalism beneficial to corporations.

“Conservation cannot promise a return to pristine, prehuman landscapes,” Peter Kareiva, The Nature Conservancy’s chief scientist, and Michelle Marvier and Robert Lalasz wrote in the 2012 article “Conservation in the Anthropocene.” “Humankind has already profoundly transformed the planet and will continue to do so… [C]onservationists will have to jettison their idealized notions of nature, parks and wilderness—ideas that have never been supported by good conservation science—and forge a more optimistic, human-friendly vision.”

For big corporations, which fall over themselves to “partner” with The Nature Conservancy, these are very seductive ideas. The writer D.T. Max summed up the philosophy, if you can call it that, in his May 12, 2014 New Yorker article “Green is Good:” “Not every species was irreplaceable: the extinction of dodos and passenger pigeons had caused no more damage, from a scientific point of view, than had the arrival of exotic ladybugs on Mt. St. Helens. Even the polar bear, ‘that classic symbol of fragility,’ might well survive global warming, because, as the Arctic ice melted, the seals that are its food source would also move north; they’d crowd together in a smaller but still viable habitat.”

That’s why I wasn’t at all surprised to get a news release the other day stating that The Nature Conservancy of Hawaii was elevating Christopher J. Benjamin, Alexander & Baldwin’s President and Chief Operating Officer, to chairman of their Board of Trustees.

“It is an honor to serve as the chair of The Nature Conservancy’s Board of Trustees,” Benjamin said in the Dec. 16 Nature Conservancy of Hawaii news release. “I believe strongly in the mission of the Conservancy and its science-based, solution-oriented, collaborative approach. I look forward to working with my fellow trustees, staff and partners in continuing to advance the work

Christopher Benjamin

happy with Benjamin: “Benjamin has served on the Hawai‘i Board since 2007 and has worked closely with Conservancy staff to develop the 10year vision and current three-year plan for forest and marine conservation. He is focused on ensuring financial stability, sound measures of conservation success and effective partnerships with agency and community partners, business leaders, resource managers, decision-makers and other supporters.”

What’s more, the news release says Alexander & Baldwin has been a lead corporate sponsor of the Conservancy’s Hawaii work “for decades.”

“Last April, the East Maui Irrigation Company, an A&B subsidiary, donated a conservation easement of over 3,721 acres of East Maui rainforest to The Nature Conservancy,” states the news release. “The new parcel lies adjacent to the Conservancy’s Waikamoi Preserve and expanded its size to almost 9,000 acres, making it the largest private nature preserve in the state.” ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro

MAUI POLICE OFFICER TAGUMA REPORTEDLY RETIRING THIS WEEK

RARE SPERM WHALE SIGHTING OFF MA‘ALAEA The Pacific Whale Foundation says one of its crews spotted a sperm whale on the morning of Thursday, Dec. 4, about a mile outside Ma‘alaea Harbor. The crew aboard the Ocean Explorer said the whale was spotted in approximately 100 feet of

water, which is not typical for a sperm whale. The whales are usually found in deep, offshore waters or near deep ledges, such as along Hawaii Island’s Kona coast.

“While it is exciting to see a sperm whale, we are concerned about the health of this animal,” said PWF research biologist Stephanie Currie.

“We did not observe any obvious signs of trauma or illness, but to see a sperm whale in this relatively shallow water in unusual and that leads us to believe this animal may be unwell.”

Members of PWF’s research team onboard a different vessel, Ocean Liberty, were able to photograph the sperm whale and observe its behavior. They said the whale did not change location throughout the day and did not appear to be swimming in any particular direction but simply milling at the surface. That unusual behavior may indicate the animal is sick or in distress. Typical behavior includes diving and frequently rolling on its sides.

In July 2014, another sperm whale came into Maui leeward waters and died shortly after. Last Christmas, a sick and pregnant dwarf sperm whale beached herself in Kihei.

Sperm whales are one of the deepest diving and longest ranging cetaceans, and they are the largest of the toothed whales, or odontocetes.

The Pacific Whale Foundation urges anyone who spots the sperm whale to contact the research department at 808-8568305 so that they can further monitor the whale’s movements and behaviors. You can also report whales that are in distress or stranded to NOAA’s Maui Marine Mammal Response Program at 808-292-2372.

Yes, kids, it’s true: Maui Police Officer Keith Taguma, a 30-year veteran of the force, will retire this week. Drivers in Wailuku can now rest a bit easier: Taguma’s parking ticket reign of terror is nearly at an end.

Rumors of Taguma’s impending retirement have been flying around Wailuku for months. I even asked Lt. William Juan, the Maui Police spokesman, about it back in November.

“I did not find any documentation of Officer Taguma’s retirement date,” Juan emailed me on Nov. 10. “As of this time, the answer would be no he is not retiring next month.”

Nonetheless, The Maui News reported on Dec. 20 that Taguma would retire this week. “Taguma dropped by Mayor Alan Arakawa’s office Friday to relay the news, shaking hands and taking pictures with the mayor and his staff, Maui County spokesman Rod Antone said,” the paper reported.

That story, which carried no byline, was strange–even for The Maui News .

Half of it deals with the ridiculous TAGUMAWatch complaint earlier this year. The Maui News also buried at the end of the story the 1985 incident (which occurred just three months into his MPD career) in which a man named James Estrada shot Taguma in the stomach with Taguma’s own gun during a traffic stop.

The details are all online, in the 1987 Hawaii Supreme Court ruling of State v. Estrada. Here’s an excerpt: “The preliminary facts are not disputed. Officer Taguma was a receiving desk officer working the night shift at the Wailuku, Maui police station,” states the ruling. “In the early morning hours of June 29, 1985, he was assigned to get breakfast for some other police officers from the Kahului Burger King restaurant. Officer Taguma was in uniform and drove a marked police van.

While returning from the Burger King, Officer Taguma stopped the car driven

by Estrada. Bayani Gamit (hereinafter ‘Gamit’) was Estrada’s passenger. Both vehicles parked in the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant parking lot. Officer Taguma and Estrada got into a fight, Officer Taguma was shot with his own gun, and Estrada fled. Later that day, Estrada surrendered. Officer Taguma was treated for severe abdominal injuries at Queen’s Medical Center hospital (hereinafter ‘Queen’s Hospital’).”

Estrada was later convicted of attempted murder (his appeals were ultimately struck down).

But what really matters here is that an era of Wailuku and Maui history is ending. People make jokes about how Taguma was some sort of omniscient specter, seemingly everywhere in Wailuku at the same moment, writing parking ticket after parking ticket to just about everyone.

But when you look at the data–at the raw citation numbers provided by the MPD’s

own annual reports–it’s clear Taguma was one of the hardest working officers in the department’s history.

“Officer Keith Taguma was the Parking Enforcement Officer for Wailuku in 2013,” states the MPD’s 2013 Annual Report, the most recent one available. “He is responsible for citing traffic violations, as well as making checks on abandoned and derelict vehicles. Officer Taguma issued a total of 6,986 citations, generated 49 incident reports, and made 8 arrests.”

Read that again: In 2013, Taguma wrote 6,986 citations by himself (and that was nothing compared to 2012, when he wrote 7,870 tickets, according to the MPD’s 2012 Annual Report).

In 2013, the 449 officers who make up the Maui Police Department wrote a total of 42,228 citations. That means Taguma himself accounted for 16.5 percent of the department’s entire citation-writing. Hell, Taguma’s 2013 haul was larger than any MPD district–the closest, the 41 officers who staff the Lahaina district, wrote a total of 6,514 citations in 2014. What’s more, Taguma even wrote more citations than the dozen members of the MPD’s Traffic Section put together (they accounted for 6,816 tickets in 2013).

Every year, Taguma wins MauiTime’s Best Scary Public Official in our annual Best of Maui readers’ poll. Looks like people are going to have to think of someone new next year.

Whale ho!

People advertising for love interests via online dating sites have apparently become picky about how they describe their sexuality. To the usuals (male, female, gay, heterosexual) have been added recently (as reported by NPR in December after surveying OkCupid.com) “asexual,” “androgynous,” “genderqueer” (evidently not the same as “gay”), “queer” (not quite “gay,” either), “questioning,” “trans man,” “transsexual,” “transmasculine,” “heteroflexible” and “sapiosexual” (turned on by “intelligence”). Still, some users of the site found the choices inadequate. One young woman described her sexual orientation as “squiggly,” and the reporter cited others who thought highly of that term.

Attending Attending to to all all your your landscape landscape needs needs

Britain’s Home Office revealed in November (by releasing archived documents from 1982) that among the contingency suggestions for worst-case nuclear attack on the country was commissioning “psychopaths” to help keep order. They are “very good in crises,” an advocate wrote, because “they have no feelings for others, nor moral code, and tend to be very intelligent and logical,” and thus could do quite well at containing the vigilante survivalist enclaves that might develop in the event parts of the kingdom became lawless.

(After an apparently thoughtful debate, the suggestion was not agreed to.)

GREAT ART! At a recent art show at Paris’ Palais de Tokyo, Italian artist Sven Sachsalber, for his provocative piece, brought in a large haystack on Nov. 13, dropped a needle into it, and gave himself two days to find it. Late the next day, he picked it up. (Palais de Tokyo calls itself an “anti-museum par excellence.”)

Three homes on the Pacific Ocean near Grayland, Washington, were washed away by violent rainstorms in early December, but the residents had seen it coming. The longtime local name for the area is “Washaway Beach.”

Said one, “I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, but I had hoped it wasn’t this soon.”

MONEY SHOT A theatrical producer in Madrid found a way around Spain’s recent steep sales tax increase on certain entertainment venues (sports, movies, live theater): It sold back issues of vintage pornographic magazines for the equivalent of $20–with a “free” ticket to its latest stage production by noted direc-

tor Pedro Calderon de la Barca. A show ticket would carry a 21 percent tax, but a pornographic magazine is still taxed at four percent.

COMPELLING EXPLANATIONS Creative: Eric Opitz, 45, who was indicted on 13 counts of fraud in Philadelphia in October, had explained that the reason he needed human growth hormone (that he would resell) despite being 6-foot-3, 450 pounds, was that he was really a dwarf and feared he would recede if he stopped the medication.

BUNGLING CINEMATOGRAPHERS Zak Hardy, 18, and Terrill Stoltz, 41, were arrested recently in separate incidents and charged with photographing women in bathrooms without their permission. Hardy, caught in a public restroom in June in Exeter, England, pointing his phone from one stall to another, explained that he was just trying to see whether his phone was waterproof. Stoltz professed his innocence, as well, claiming the camera he set up in his ex-girlfriend’s bathroom in Billings, Montana, was solely to have a photographic record of him when he cleaned his chickens in the bathtub.

THE NEW NORMAL An Oceanside, California, couple was surprised in November to discover that buying a purebred bichon frise on credit meant they were only leasing the dog for 27 months and would have to make a 28th payment to actually “own” Tresor. Furthermore, the lease, under a “repo” threat, required “daily exercise,” “regular bathing and grooming” and “immediate” disposal of Tresor’s “waste.” A spokesperson for the store, Oceanside Puppy (which works with four finance companies), told the San Diego Union-Tribune that the arrangement is fairly standard now for expensive pets.

WAIT, WUT? In a 2012 incident in Cleveland (where a white police officer recently shot to death a black teenager holding a toy gun), 13 officers chased two unarmed black homeless drug users at high speeds and fired 137 shots at the pair, killing them. (A car had supposedly backfired, suggesting a gunshot at the cops.) As a result of “communication” failure, the 13 were placed on limited “desk duty” for 16 months and subjected to continuing investigation. Recently, nine of the 13 officers sued the city, charging that non-black officers are historically and illegally disciplined more harshly for mistakes when victims are black. ■

‘I’M AS SERIOUS AS I CAN BE’

WE TALK GMOS, POLICE PROTESTS AND HOW TO FIX AMERICA WITH BILL MAHER

BY TOMMY RUSSO 10 DECEMBER 24, 2014

T

hough Bill Maher describes himself as an entertainer, he’s made himself quite famous advocating liberal and libertarian views on his various talk shows through the years. Even when the hammer comes down on him, Maher has shown remarkable popularity and resilience. When advertisers boycotted his ABC show Politically Incorrect back in 2002 after he dared to question President George W. Bush’s statement that the Twin Towers hijackers were “cowards,” he moved to HBO, where his Real Time With Bill Maher airs to this day.

For many unhappy with this nation’s political establishment and power structure, Maher’s iconoclasm is welcome and reassuring. On Dec. 17, I spoke with Maher by phone for about 20 minutes, in anticipation of his upcoming Jan. 1 stand-up show at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. Though he’s a comedian by trade, our chat was anything but funny.

Q:

You talk about voting a lot in your show. We voted, as I’m sure you heard. With a citizen’s initiative, a slight majority voted in a temporary moratorium on the growing of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

A: Q: A:

Yes, I know they did. And I’m thrilled.

For many here, the issue wasn’t so much the GMOs, but the pesticides used by growers.

Q: A: Q: A:

So your challenge is with pesticides?

Look, pesticides are bad, but they’re only one of the things that are bad.

Many people support labeling, but the industry does not. Why is that?

You know again, because of lobbying. I mean, we saw it here out in California. We had it on the ballot and it looked like it was going to pass–labeling GMOs. I mean, again it’s not

Q:

Ok, let’s talk people, voters and stupid America. We sometimes wonder if people understand the stories we write. If America is as you often portray on your show, then as a publisher, I worry if our stories are actually making a difference.

A: Q: A:

I worry about the same thing, absolutely.

So how do we fix America? As an entertainer, are you interested in fixing America?

I’m always interested in fixing things. I try to be an activist citizen. I mean, I donated a million dollars to [President Barack] Obama’s campaign in 2012. I’m as serious as I can be. I put my wallet behind it, I’m not fucking around. Look, I’m an entertainer first, especially when I’m coming to Hawaii to do a stand-up show. A stand-up show has to be about getting people laughing, and laughing hard. I mean, this is not a lecture, but the television show [Real Time] is a bit different. The television show is a hybrid between serious and funny. Absolutely, we tried to Flip A District this year. We tried to get rid of one bad congressman who was absolutely emblematic of what is preventing America from being fixed. Which is that he’s a guy, John Klein in Minnesota, who like so many other congresspeople is completely bought and sold by Corporate America. And that is whose bidding he does. I mean, when you ask me, “What is the first step, the elemental step in fixing America?” I would say it is that. It’s getting out of the corporate stranglehold that corporations have in this country. This is why people vote against their own interests. This why we can’t pass something like labeling GMOs–it’s always about Corporate America. And you know when they say, “Why don’t people vote their own interests?” They would except they are fooled be the kind of money that flows into politics. So when you talk about fixing America, I think you have to get the money out of it. That’s the beginning of it, it’s getting the money out of politics.

Q:

So how do we bring the disengaged and uniformed back to the table? I mean, is removing money from politics enough?

It’s a step toward doing that. It certainly would help because studies show that people get turned off by negative campaigning.You know the Koch brothers paid for, I think, one out of every $10 that was spent in the last election we

A:

just had, the midterms. And what they do is they put on negative, misleading campaigns about the liberal in the race or whoever the Democrat is. Then the Democrat has to attack the other party in kind, so it turns into a very negative race, which is what they want, because what studies show, the more negative the race, the lower the turnout. People just get so turned off they go, “ah, fuck ‘em both; a pox on both their houses; I’m not even going to show up; I can’t even tell which one of them is telling the truth; Fuck it all” and they get turned off. And this is what the Koch brothers want. This is what Republicans want. Republicans want the least amount of turnout. Because their base always comes out.

They want it to turn off everybody else. And this is how you wind up with the Congress we just voted in, a Republican congress. Now you look at the polling–people don’t like the Republican Party and yet they just voted them into office. That’s because the liberals stayed home because they were turned off.You know, other countries don’t do this.You look at a country like Norway. They have 81 percent voter turnout. We have 48 percent. That’s because advertising is banned in that country because they take elections seriously. We don’t, we take it like any other advertising campaign, like we’re selling dog food or deodorant.

Q:

Okay, onto police militarization.

We have an armored Bearcat here on Maui. In light of Michael Brown in Ferguson and Eric Garner in New York, where does police abuse and militarization end?

Well, this is the beginning of it. We’ve never really seen this before. I mean, I think to me, what happened in this country is that way back in the ‘60s police were called pigs by people. It was a horrible time in this country for both soldiers and policeman, in the late ‘60s. And I think the country, as it often does, swings the pendulum too far in the other way. It never lands in the middle, and we got to this place where we venerate soldiers and policeman as something other-worldly, and they’re not. They’re just human beings. So it became somehow de rigor to never criticize the police. But the police need criticizing–it’s long overdue. We’re not saying that all policemen are bad–I’m sure most of them do their job honorably–but there’s a lot of bad apples. And there’s a lot of training. And there’s a lot of bad philosophizing about what the police are. I’ve talked about this for years on my show. This idea, it seems like coming from the police that when it says “Protect and Serve” on the car, they are talking about themselves. They have this idea that if they’re in any

Well, I’m not an expert on what [pesticides] exactly they use. We certainly know that some are more virulent and incompatible with the human body than others. What’s dangerous is that we’re using ourselves as guinea pigs, I think, for a lot of stuff. Way back when I was a kid, they banned DDT, so we know that this stuff can be so bad that even the government, which I don’t trust at all, can find something so awful that they would take it off the market. [Then there’s] the fact that Monsanto is as powerful as they are. The fact the head of the FDA [Food and Drug Administration] is a former Monsanto executive [Michael Taylor] is very disturbing. The fact that Hillary Clinton, who will probably be president next time, is really in the pocket of Monsanto, as is probably every other politician at this point. It is very disturbing because it is not just the pesticides, it’s that whole RoundUp–ha, ha. You know, they have to keep upping the game because chemical formation changes–it’s an arm race to keep ahead of the bugs.

that hard of a case to make to people: Hey, we’re only asking to label, we’re not even taking anything out of it. We’re just giving you information. Who could be against that? Well, of course, in lobbying America, anybody can be against anything and you can convince people of anything. And that’s just what they did. They ran a campaign–a very disingenuous, dishonest campaign– which basically told people that the price at the grocery store was going to go up if this happened. Of course that is not true, but it scared people and you know you can always scare people one way or the other.

I’m as serious as I can be... Ok, maybe not that serious

Q: A:

Whose responsibility is it to educate the adults who should be voting?

That would help. But when you ask about whose responsibility it is to inform the voters, it’s the media’s responsibility. And the media used to take that responsibility seriously, but once again, greed– the root of all evil. Media used to be a loss leader. I mean, news-gathering media. And now, the news gathering divisions of every network have to make a profit. That’s why they don’t really educate people because they pander to people. In the days of Walter Cronkite, his broadcast didn’t have to make a profit, that’s what The Beverly Hillbillies was for. This is what William S. Paley said at CBS–We put the news organization out there for the benefit of the people and for the democracy that we live in–and therefore they were able to be more serious. If you watch the nightly news every night, there’s one slog of news for about five minutes and then it’s bullshit. It’s bullshit stuff that’s going to get people to watch. Of course people are not informed, they don’t see it when they watch the news.

danger at all, they have the right to just unload their clip at whatever is presenting the danger, and that’s not the job. They keep saying, “It’s a very dangerous job”–of course it’s a dangerous job. We know that.You know that when you joined the force. It’s voluntary, nobody drafted you be a police officer. It’s a dangerous job and you just can’t shoot at the first thing that scares you. And I know most cops don’t do that, but obviously a lot of them do, and that’s got to stop. The fact that people are in the streets, protesting this for weeks–that’s a great sign. That’s how things start to change. The cops have got the message that they need to change they way they do things. And I think they will.

Too many cooks can never ruin the pot at Three’s Bar & Grill

Three of a kind: Chef Morrin, Chef Christopher and Chef Blosser

THREE’S BAR & GRILL 1945 S. Kihei Rd. 808-879-3133 Threesbarandgrill.com

T

Sushi bar: Chef Hutto and Chef Shin

The team at Three’s also finds influence from other local chefs.

“Inspiration comes from just seeing Maui chefs do what they love,” says Morrin. “Sheldon [Simeon] of Migrant, Isaac [Bancaco] at Andaz, Kyle [Kawakami] with food truck Fresh Streatery, Lyndon [Honda] and Jeff [Scheer] with their catering companies–all the bad ass resort chefs and a ton more on Maui. It’s about supporting each others businesses and not about competing. Of course, huge inspiration comes from the Hawaii chefs who helped pioneer Hawaiian Regional cuisine–Mark Ellman, Bev Gannon, Alan Wong, RoyYamaguchi and DK Kodama.”

They say they got the idea for Three’s out surfing, and the ocean is still part of their idea process.

“Surf is always important!” says Morrin.

“Surfing is what originally brought the three of us together and we will never forget that. There was a period of about four years where we didn’t surf very much or at least together. We have an amazing staff now and we try to make time for it. Some of our best business and restaurant ideas have come from drifting around in the line-up. It’s important to still be connected to that, no matter what the future brings.”

hey always say too many chefs ruin the pot, but I’ve definitely come across an exception to that at Three’s Bar and Grill in Kihei. In fact, you could say the more chefs, the merrier.

When I first met the chefs that put the three in Three’s–Cody Christopher, Travis Morrin and Jaron Blosser–I was intrigued by their initial three-way concept of mixing Southwest American, Pacific regional and Hawaiian grinds, but wasn’t sure how it would play out. Four years later, they’ve fine-tuned their concept by brazenly hiring more chefs, opening a food truck, adding to their catering business and dreaming of still more restaurant concepts.

“We all take on different aspects of the company,” says Morrin. “Cody is the executive chef, Jaron the general manager and I am the catering director. We all collaborate on menus and specials. Three chefs are better because we work together to solve problems and grow the company. We can count on each other to always be there for whatever the company needs.”

Three’s altered their menu over the summer, adding a sushi bar and some items like noodles and ramen. Morrin’s recent trips to Japan inspired additional dishes.

“We are always influenced by where we

travel, gathering inspiration from everywhere we have visited,” says Morrin. “I personally love visiting new cities and seeking out the local top chefs and learning about the regional cuisine, where they source their products and so on. I love traveling to San Francisco, Seattle and Japan, just to name a few.”

The expansion of their sushi menu included building out a gorgeous and chic sushi bar that sits right inside the main entrance to the surf lounge. The sushi bar is manned by a raw bar team that includes sushi masters Thomas Shin and Brady Hutto, who crafted some incredible rolls while I was there. The Rock and Roll was one of my favorites, combining unagi, ahi, negi and black tobiko. Most of their specialty rolls all have something a little different added–jalapeno, sriracha aioli, mango or basil.

“Sushi is definitely eat with your eyes first, so we let the quality of the ingredients shine through first and foremost,” says Morrin. “Sometimes it’s as simple as ruby red big eye tuna and local avocado with sambal aioli. Other times we get crazy and develop fun specialty rolls, always taking into consideration the subtle nuances of each ingredient. For example, the creaminess of an avocado and/or crispiness of raw beets. Taste and texture are priority, and you’d be surprised how presentation just works after that.”

I also sampled a Katsura Muki roll–cored cucumber outside, a touch of shiso, raw salmon and cream cheese dressed with a sweet namasu style sauce made by Shin. These rice-less rolls are

tres chic because of the gluten-free craze, but are light and crisp and stand delicious on their own.

“We do our best to balance quality fresh ingredients with texture, flavor and presentation,” says Morrin. “Our raw bar chefs are so talented now a days, that we pretty much give them free roam on specials. We want to see their creative side. We are firm believers that this brings out their true inspiration and a little bit of friendly competition. We use a high-quailty Japanese short grain rice called Tamaki Gold. Our sushi rice is cooked daily and expertly made with care and proper technique–any sushi connoisseur knows, the rice is as important, if not more important than fish itself. Texture and temperature are key ingredients to the eating experience when it come to rice. Our sushi vinegar is also made in-house.”

I have always enjoyed a good roll, but I was really piqued by their addition of flat iron steak.

Recommended by Chef Morrin for its garlic dried mein, it was the truffle yaki-marinated beef that was irresistible at first. Then the peppery garlicky noodle with sautéed kale, oyster shrooms and baby heirloom tomato stole the show. It’s really an incredible dish that looks be-

The Flat Iron Steak nign on the menu. I will definitely return for it.

The ramen is another stand-out: a traditional six-minute egg sitting side by side with little stacks of veggies over noodles and a hefty 12hour pork dashi. I could easily fall in love with the kim chee shiitake mushroom, by far my favorite veggie, but it was all the ingredients in a cohesive bite that was the best. We talk about texture in sushi, but it’s just as critical in ramen, but more subtle and fleeting. Everything worked together in their ramen.

“Our most popular lunch items are our traditional pork and soy dashi ramen featuring local Iwamoto noodles,” says Morrin. “For dinner, it’s a combination of menu favorites like our garlic and mustard-rubbed prime rib, signature sushi rolls and daily fresh fish specials. Guests love the ramen because it’s a taste of traditional Japan with a broth that’s literally simmered over night. The prime rib features Big Island beef and au jus with Maui Brew Co. Lahaina Town Brown Ale. And, of course, the sushi is always fresh and fun. We recently starting carrying fresh uni in house as everyone was demanding it.”

Three’s does breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week, 8:30-11am breakfast, 11am-4pm lunch and 5-10pm dinner. Check their quickie breakfast special of two eggs, your choice of meat and toast for $5.95. They have a food truck you will find at select events across the island. Three’s happy hour specials are half off select appetizers and sushi and $3.50 wells, drafts, Mai Tais, Margaritas and is offered twice a day: 3-6pm and again 9-10pm.

Three’s has live music, the schedule is on their website. The Surf Lounge also hosts great parties like their upcoming Hell Caminos Anniversary show this Saturday.

For Christmas and New Year’s, it’s full steam ahead in their kitchens, with a traditional turkey dinner, prime rib or Hawaiian fish special on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and a New Year’s Eve four-course dinner and Champagne. ■ jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso For more foodie news, visit MauiTime’s website at: mauitime.com

Cultured Coffee At Memphis Belle in Kihei, you can have your coffee and taste the world, too

then de-gases for your enjoyment.

The Chemex and the V60 are players in the slow food movement, and morning cups here are more about the coffee than your schedule so be patient. There is plenty to gaze at on the red walls while you wait.

If you want a faster cup, try the espresso– perhaps their infamous New Zealand “Flat White.” It’s sort of like a cappuccino but the milk is prepared a bit wetter and glossier.

“Our coffee is fresh,” says Jaleh. “It’s roasted and four days later it’s ready. We open our bags according to freshness and readiness. We grind it on the spot. That Faema espresso machine is a Ferrari. It’s about $15,000 worth of machinery and the only one on Maui.”

Jaleh teamed up with Madame Donut to

develop a really excellent Coffee Program to go with my donuts but I don’t have the resources nor the time to put into it at the moment. Then a couple of customers mentioned Memphis Belle and I had to check them out.

I fell in love with their coffees and the people. They’re my instant family with dreams and purpose that are aligned with mine.”

The cafe sources coffee locally but also provides the Memphis Belle New Zealand coffee by Flight Coffee. Flight travels the world for what they call “best practices” fair trade farmed coffee.

“I want to bring the third wave of coffee culture to Maui,” says Jaleh. “I want people to have their Maui coffee and taste the world, too.”

ave you ever had someone whip out a digital scale when you ordered a cup of coffee?

That’s how you know you’re at Memphis Belle. There, the brewed coffee comes three ways: Chemex, V60 and cold drip. The cold drip apparatus looks like a mad science lab, but everything coffee here is approached with solid science.

I thought I was a huge coffee nerd until I met Jaleh Edwardson, who co-owns Memphis Belle with her husband Justin.

She’s so passionate about her coffee that when she decided to move to Maui from New Zealand, she resolved to bring her coffee culture with her.

“I lived in New Zealand in Wellington for ten years and I got accustomed to having good specialty coffee,” says Jaleh. “I love it. I love coffee. I love good coffee. So

as my husband and I decided to move, we thought, what are we going to do about our coffee? Coffee is not the same in America.”

They scanned the Pacific for the right spot for their relocation and decided on Maui. The cafe idea came with them.

“We approached a friend of ours who owned the Memphis Belle Cafe in Wellington, New Zealand,” says Jaleh. “We said, ‘This is the perfect coffee house, we love the vibe. How can we do what you’re doing, but on Maui?’ So we purchased the rights to the branding, the logos, the naming rights. We asked them to come to Maui for six weeks and train us and build and set up to be a successful cafe. They helped us source and buy our equipment.”

The coffee is phenomenal. Pour-over style is the ultimate in the coffee hipster world. Special folded coffee paper cones are rinsed. Coffee is grinded on the spot, after you take your pick from Jar A, B or C. I went for a Colombian strain named Project Honey for its peach and apple profiles, a red graph on a card on display helps me divine my palate. Coffee blooms,

Flat White meet Maui Artisanal donut

provide some of the magic in the Memphis Belle kitchen. You’ll find Maui-made artisanal doughnuts now, along with their bagels and cream cheese selections, and the cafe offers fresh vegetable juices, too. Jaleh and Madame agree that it’s a match made in cafe heaven.

“Coffee and donuts are a classic combo of a pick-me-Up,” says Madame Donut. “Feeling down or low energy? Get a coffee and donut! It’s a jolt of energy and fun! And in the case of my collaboration with Memphis Belle Coffee House, the best tasting coffee and donuts on Maui! I’ve always wanted to

Part of that plan includes evening events.

“Our courtyard here is really underutilized so what we are going to do is open mic nights on the first Fridays of the month from 6pm to 9pm,” says Jaleh. “We did one already–Madame Donut did a Monte Cristo that was a huge hit. We had so many performers! It was a great night.”

Catch their next open mic on Jan. 9. ■ jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso For more foodie news, visit MauiTime’s website at: mauitime.com

Agonyyyyyyyyy!

Just don’t go ‘Into The Woods’ ★★★★★ Rated PG / 124 Min.

N

ot every successful Broadway musical should be made into a movie, a fact someone needs to tell Rob Marshall. His big break as a filmmaker came with his blockbuster adaptation of Chicago, admittedly tough material that he translated smoothly onto the silver screen.

While imperfect, he later brought an appropriately theatrical quality and stunning beauty to Memoirs of a Geisha.

Marshall’s affection for the theater world makes him a rare and valuable filmmaker. His adoration for even midgrade Broadway musicals explains why he decided to make Nine and Into The Woods into movies. The former had a rocky time on stage, despite the terrific material and actors like Raul Julia and Antonio Banderas in the lead. As a movie, Nine suffered from a badly miscast Daniel Day-Lewis and a hit and miss assortment of scenes without a center. The latter, despite its popularity, is not one of writer/ composer Stephen Sondheim’s great musicals. Sondheim’s unique word couplings

and beautiful melodies served Sweeney Todd, both on stage and as a film, but Into The Woods is a bust.

At least Nine had Day-Lewis as the film’s master of ceremonies. Into The Woods gives us great actors playing wafer-thin fairy tale characters, who shuffle on and off a murky forest set. No one ever steps up and takes control. We get Anna Kendrick as Cinderella, Meryl Streep as The Witch, Johnny Depp (very briefly) as The Wolf, Emily Blunt as the Baker’s wife and Chris Pine as a dashing Prince. They all have lovely voices and give it their best but can’t ignite a story that’s both busy and aimless or sing tunes with clunky, simplistic lyrics.

I’ve never seen Into The Woods on stage but remember cringing when I first listened to the soundtrack. Sondheim is a treasure and so is Bernadette Peters (who played The Witch on Broadway) but Into The Woods stinks. Song after song, we get soaring orchestrations but lyrics that seem designed to make actors come across as mush-mouthed and vocally inadequate. My heart goes out to anyone who struggles to pull off this material in community theater. Friends of mine who saw it on stage praised the clever effects and hard-working actors but not the

Free hugs! Who wants a free hug!

music. Unless you’re a die-hard fan, no one would leave Into The Woods humming the songs. Watching Pine give a full throttle take on tunes like Agony, I wished he had better material to showcase his talent. Sondheim has done far better.

Marshall’s film is a lumbering ordeal that doesn’t reward the bounce and vocal beauty achieved by the cast. Kendrick (a Tony award winner before her big break in Up in the Air) and Blunt have especially gorgeous singing voices and Streep gives her Witch a great deal of feeling and pathos. Grimm Fairy Tales have rich characters who undergo dynamic journeys. The cast of Into The Woods must find themselves and work their way out of moral dilemmas they encoun-

ter... in the woods. This makes for a flimsy plot that trudges onward without creating momentum or investing audience interest.

The timing seems to best illustrate why this 1987 stage attraction was belatedly made into a film. With the staying power of Frozen and Wicked in pop culture, Once Upon a Time and Grimm on television and Maleficent cleaning up last summer, fairy tales are big business.

I’m not what you’d call a die-hard ABBA fan but I’d happily watch Streep in Mamma Mia! again than sit through Into The Woods. Somebody please stop Marshall before he takes on Starlight Express. To quote Pine as the Prince, this movie is agonyyyyyyyyy! ■

Horoscope

Sign Language CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

Just as a migratory bird returns to the same spots each year, its route based on memorized landmarks it learned from its predecessors, you’ve been a creature of habit on a grand scale. That is, you’ve revisited identical mental locations, in the same order, for years now. The hapless fowl does it because it’s a matter of life or death, but you do it, frankly, because you’re lazy, sometimes. This week, break free of instinct or habit and venture into some totally new territory. Who knows? You could discover a feeding ground more bountiful than the ones you know, or pioneer a mating dance that gets all the babes.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Holy crap, you’re wound tight these days. Loosen some of the strings on your instrument; they’ve all gone sharp. Take a break from those you’ve been playing with and retreat somewhere quiet for a while so you can reflect and retune. It doesn’t matter that the instrument you’re playing is your heart and soul, not a violin or stand-up bass. It can warp and be ruined by abuse just the same. Take your time. There’s plenty of beautiful music to be made, but unless you deal with all this unresolved or unaddressed tension, it’s going to sound like shit.

...to questions from page 4

1: E–Kihei 2: B–T-Mobile 3: B–7.7 percent

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Learn from Leos. They’re your astrological opposites, but you’re not as different as you think; you’re both affable, social, maintain large groups of friends and acquaintances. In fact, the only significant difference between you is not methodology but motivation. In other words, you both do similar things, but while their actions are driven by emotion and the inertia of enthusiasm, yours are prompted by the urgings of your overactive mind and the restless stirrings of imagination and inspiration. In other words, while they could benefit from your logic, reason, and coolhanded touch, you could learn a lot with a hearty, turkey-baster-sized injection of their passion.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Do you want to be really and truly happy? Like, ecstatic with heart-soaring delight? Tough shit. As long as you want it, you can’t have it, at least not this week, or even this season. Right now, if I were you, I’d settle for adjectives like serene and content. The kind of bliss you’re craving has to sneak up on you right now, and it’ll never catch you unless you just stop looking for it. So settle down. Sometimes it’s appropriate to hunt down joy, but not right now. Hey, don’t freak; this is really a good thing—all you have to do to find your bliss is to slow down and chill out long enough for it to catch up with you.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Pull up! Pull up! Just grab that stick and haul back, because the plane you’re on is going to nosedive and crash otherwise. A few months ago, that prospect wouldn’t have fazed you, but now that you’ve achieved some impressive height and even spent time at cruising altitude, it’d be a shame to not only have to start all the way back at sea level, but to have to rebuild the plane first. Turbulence and minor dips along the way are to be expected on a journey like yours, but there’s no reason to lower the wheels just yet.

You’ve been taking things one step too far, lately.

You managed to get over the hurdle of figuring out what exactly it is that you want, no problem. But then instead of simply asking for it, you bite your tongue, and start analyzing the best way to ask for it.

Unfortunately, your process outwits and invalidates itself. In other words, you’re overthinking things, and it shows. No one wants to be manipulated, and when they can tell that’s what’s up, it inevitably backfires. This week, be as direct and forthright as possible—I suspect you’ll be pleased with your results.

WEDNESDAYS & FRIDAYS 7:30AM

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

I didn’t bother counseling you to construct elaborate vows for this year’s New Year’s Resolution because you simply haven’t needed to make decisions for yourself and your life this past year. You’ve been remarkably self-motivated, as well as self-scheduling.

Maybe I was wrong, because this past week you’ve slowed down, perhaps burdened with too much holiday weight. I can’t help believing that you were the only one in charge of all your butt-kicking this past year, so why start off the new one with a less effective M.O.? Having said that, I will add: it may be time to give yourself another motivating slap on the ass.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

I’ve had whole series of celebrity dreams lately, mostly focusing on C- or D-list celebs who I couldn’t give two shits about. Still, it reflects the widening focus of my waking life: I’m trying to consistently consider things and people outside my usual realm of experience and my modest social circle. Can you please do that too, Libra? I’m worried that you’ve become too ensconced and involved in your own limited little world, too carried away by the minor soap opera dramas of your office or household. The solution, of course, is a trip—either mental or physical, to a distant, eminently different location. Dream it or live it; it really doesn’t matter—just get out of the neighborhood for a while, and meet some new people.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Your heart is in need of the kind of wakeup call your mouth gets when you bite into something tart first thing in the morning. It should leave you tingling around the edges, cringing pleasantly from the intensity of the flavor, and nourishing you with deliciousness. Luckily, this kind of morsel is in reach of your tongue right this second. I can’t believe you haven’t noticed, or if you have, you’ve turned up your nose in anticipatory distaste. Screw that shit. It’s been a while since you tried something new, and here’s something you might actually like—a lot. So open your mouth, stick out your tongue, and lick.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

This week you get to play one of your favorite roles: sommelier of vice. You may know pot, sake, or sex better than you know wine; regardless of your field of expertise, someone is dying to consult with you and learn from your experience. Teach them, Obi-Wan. The best part about having an apprentice in your favorite realm of iniquity is that you can have a lot of fun with your lessons—and there’s always the very good possibility that at some point very soon, the student will become the teacher, and that’s always a good time.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

You don’t need to tame your body. It’s not your enemy.

Don’t be afraid of the various smells and substances it produces; they’re just part of being human. One of the shittiest things about being members of Western culture is we develop ideals about our bodies that are unrealistic, regarding how pleasantly-scented and perfectly-shaped they ought to be. In actuality, while there’s no dearth of people who want to sleep with models there are also millions who are going to get off on your bigger booty, dick or boobs that are “too big” or “too small,” or stumpy ankles. Since you’re more liable to meet and get along with one of these folks this week, own what you got. Be proud.

New Year’s Eve is usually a bullshit let-down.

Somehow, despite past experience, you expect this night to be somehow special, but it almost never is.

Lower your expectations, Sag. They’re just too high.

By all means, go out, find someone cute to kiss at the celebratory moment, but don’t build it up to be more than just another evening, just another glass of champagne. Anxiously anticipating fun doesn’t usually leave much room for it to actually happen. Relax and let it be lame; at least then the space exists for unexpected amusement. If it doesn’t happen, no biggie; there’ll be more nights and more champagne.
