DARK TIMES FOR HAWAII ENVIRONMENTALISTS

If these two moves are any guide, the next four years will be rough times for those in the state who value land preservation.

COUNTY OF MAUI ATTACKING SUNSHINE LAW AGAIN The 28th Legislature opened on Jan. 21, at the Hawaii state capitol in Honolulu.

And to help ring in the 60-day festivities that are to follow, the Maui County Council submitted two bills that it would like to see pass. The first is a nice little bill that would allow UH Maui College to research industrial hemp. The second is the latest in a long series of salvos the council has fired at the state’s open meetings, or “sunshine” law.

Back in 2005, members of the County

ing to a summary of the bill on the Maui County Council’s website.

“Under current interpretations of the law, Maui County council members–elected officials who represent all Maui County residents–can’t freely attend such gatherings,” council Chairman Mike White wrote in a Jan. 18 Maui News op-ed piece that discussed the new bill. “Consequently, opportunities to educate ourselves on important issues are limited. Some of you may have even seen council members reluctantly leave important community meetings because of Sunshine Law concerns.”

Please. The least they could do was come up with a new excuse for tinkering with the state law that requires official bodies like the Maui County Council to meet only in properly noticed public meetings with agendas posted days in advance, so mem-

Hey Hawaii Democrats: still happy you guys gave the boot to Governor Neil Abercrombie in favor of David Ige? Sorry, but I can’t help but ask after seeing last week’s news that Ige has all but declared war on the state’s environment.

The bad news started on Jan. 21, when state Senate President Donna Mercado Kim gave a speech at the opening of the Legislature that said “we believe it is time to consider giving the counties more local control over land use classifications by eliminating the Land Use Commission and overlapping operations to make the permitting process more efficient.”

Wow, I don’t recall making land development “more efficient” being a big issue in the last campaign. The Land Use Act, which dates to 1961, basically created an unprecedented state zoning commission. It was designed to keep land developers from building on the state’s most productive agricultural lands. Written and pushed forward by the late Democratic state Representative Tom Gill, the bill passed in large part because many legislators didn’t understand its true intent (Gill himself admits this in the 1985 book Land and Power in Hawaii by George Cooper and Gavan Dawes).

In their book, Cooper and Dawes described how the Legislature spent much of the 1960s trying to get rid of the LUC. After all, the Democratic Party at the time was largely controlled by the big landowners that owned hotels and resorts and the unions that built and staffed them. All those efforts failed, though in the 1970s the Legislature did succeed in amending the commission. The result today is a body that is still too onerous and time-consuming to developers, but too willing to approve projects to make environmentalists happy.

Anyway, later that day reporters asked Ige

about Kim’s LUC-scraping idea.

“Gov. David Ige told reporters that he would be open to getting rid of the Land Use Commission,” Honolulu Civil Beat reported on Jan. 21.

Then two days later Ige decided to double-down by naming Carleton Ching, a lobbyist for big land owner and developer Castle & Cooke, to head the Department of Land and Natural Resources.

“Ching has devoted much of his career to creating communities for Hawai‘i’s residents,” states Ige’s Jan. 23 news release announcing the Ching nomination.

“Early on he spent a decade with the Hawai‘i Housing Authority where he specialized in building affordable homes. From his time at the Authority he is best known for his role in facilitating a resolution to the contentious conflict between the WaiaholeWaikane Community Association and the state. Following this he worked for Westloch, Inc., Castle & Cooke Kunia, Molokai Ranch and SSFM International. Currently he is the Vice President, Community and Government Relations, for Castle & Cooke Hawaii.

In this role, he supports the organization’s real estate, agricultural and renewable energy initiatives. He is an active volunteer with a number of business, housing, health and education non-profit organizations.”

That’s all well and good, but what does any of that have to do with protecting Hawaii’s land and natural resources? A coalition of more than a dozen environmental organizations, including Sierra Club Hawaii, is asking the same question. An hour or so before Ige’s State of the State address on Jan. 26, they gathered at the Queen Liliuokalani Statue at the State Capitol to express their displeasure at Ching’s nomination.

There’s also a MoveOn.org petition, started by Maui activist Karen Chun, that calls for the rejection of Ching’s nomination. As of Jan. 26, the petition already had more than 4,000 signatures.

Soak up the sunshine, while you still can...

Council called on the Legislature to simply exempt them from the Sunshine Law, which mandates various conditions under which they can meet and make decisions. They’re not calling for something so far-reaching this time, so I guess we’re making progress.

The bill would “allow members of a county council to jointly attend and speak at community meetings where informational presentations are made,” accord-

Overheard WOMAN: “Do you have fishcake in your saimin?”

SERVER: “No.” WOMAN: “Good. I’m not really in the mood for fishcake.”

MAN: “Um, you hate fishcake.”

bers of the public who wish to observe or testify have adequate time to prepare.

No, the council called for this very thing last year, and open government activists quickly criticized it.

“This safeguard is in place to prevent discussion and decisions made on issues without public input and public notice,” Carmille Lim of Common Cause Hawaii testified last year about a similar bill backed by the Council–HB 2139 HD1.

“HB 2139 HD1 would allow all members to attend these meetings, listen to a biased presentation in support of a project, and would allow a quorum or all members to discuss the project or issue at hand.”

Look, legislating should be difficult. It’s supposed to be inefficient. It’s supposed to be slow. If members of the Maui County Council want to meet with members of the community, then they can hold proper agendized public hearings. That’s how things are supposed to get done–out in the open, where the public can watch. ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro

MAUI POLICE COMMISSION MEETING SUCCESS?

PHOTO COURTESY WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

So apparently holding Maui Police Commission meetings at an easily accessible place like the University of Hawaii Maui College campus is popular with residents.

According to this Jan. 22 Maui News story, 14 members of the public attended the Wednesday, Jan. 21 commission meeting.

Woohoo! Fourteen!

Now I know 14 may not sound like a big number, but at least one commissioner said that it’s actually something to celebrate–especially given that the Police Commission is quite powerful. Remember, they’re the ones who appoint the police chief and investigate citizen complaints against Maui PD personnel.

Having the public involved with the commission is vital to make sure the Maui Police Department is responsive to the public.

Maybe the Maui PD should go to college...

Hunt was a Marine Corps veteran of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq who, though working with troubled veterans after his discharge, killed himself in 2011.

The bill is currently enjoying bipartisan support. Today, the Senate Veterans Committee (which includes Hirono) passed the bill unanimously. The bill already passed the U.S. House of Representatives, 403-0. If the bill passes the full Senate, it goes to President Barack Obama.

It’s possible an earlier version of the bill, designated HR 5059 but also named for Clay Hunt, could have passed late last year, but in one of his last acts before retiring, U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, R–Oklahoma, blocked the bill, effectively killing it. Despite speaking on the Senate floor for a little over nine minutes about how jacked up the VA is these days, Coburn said the bill would do nothing to help struggling veterans.

“I’m going to be objecting to this bill

HIRONO CALLS AMERICAN VETERAN SUICIDE RATE ‘UNACCEPTABLE’ Describing the current rates of suicide for American veterans as “unacceptable,” U.S. Senator Mazie Hirono, D–Hawaii, today called for the passage of a new bill that would, at least on paper, make life a little easier for people seeking treatment from the U.S. Veterans Administration.

“It is simply unacceptable that 22 American veterans commit suicide each day,” said Hirono in a Jan. 21 news release sent out by her office.

“Veterans have to face too much red tape in our bureaucratic system in order to receive help and this legislation will address staffing needs, and improve access and effectiveness of mental health care available to our veterans. We owe a tremendous debt to our service members who have sacrificed for our country and our veterans deserve access to the best mental health services we can provide. I am proud to cosponsor the Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act and hope that after today’s bipartisan action by the Veterans’ Committee the full Senate will pass the bill quickly.”

The bill, designated HR 203 and known as the Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act, would “direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide for the conduct of annual evaluations of mental health care and suicide prevention programs of the Department of Veterans Affairs and “require a pilot program on loan repayment for psychiatrists who agree to serve in the Veterans Health Administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs,” among other things, according to the bill text.

It is once again time to keep old metal chairs out of landfills by turning them into art. The third annual Chair-ish Maui Recycled Art Contest launches Feb. 1.

The contest, sponsored by Makawao Union Church, not only helps keep chairs out of landfills, it raises funds for the restoration and maintenance of the church’s 100-yearold Community Hall with a $15 entry fee.

Participants are encouraged to let their creativity flow while decorating a rusty folding chair with any material imagined–except electricity. The only requirement is that the chair has to fold and unfold when completed. Old chairs are available at the church every Sunday from 11:30am to noon from Feb. 1 to Mar. 22. Decorated chairs must be returned to the church on Mar. 28 for judging.

Last year, the church supplied 23 chairs and 13 were entered in the contest. Jim Hestand won First Prize with his “Ode to Jackson,” a color splash piece in the style of abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock.

Amy Mathis won the People’s Choice award for her chair-art titled “Fairies Among Us.” This year’s winners will be announced at Aloha Hour on Sunday, April 5; artists do

“There were more people there than I’ve seen the last 14 months,” Maui Police Commissioner Michael Wilson told me this morning by phone. Given that those wishing to attend past Maui Police Commission meetings at the Wailuku station had to provide identification and get an official escort through the station, this isn’t surprising.

Wilson, who’s been working for more than a year to get the meetings out of the intimidating Wailuku Police Station, added that though the Jan. 21 commission meeting agenda indicated that the next meeting would take place at the Kihei Police Station, the commissioners are trying to get it relocated to a spot on Lanai.

“Even the Kihei station has an aura of guns and authority,” Wilson said. “We’re trying to keep our base at the college because it’s so convenient.”

He added that it’s also possible the commission will meet somewhere on Molokai this year.

Sen. Hirono

because it throws money [away] and doesn’t solve the real problem,” he said on the Senate floor in mid-December. “And I know most of my colleagues disagree with me on that…

Don’t pass another bill! Hold the VA accountable. There should be a hearing every week on every aspect of every aspect of everything that the VA does for the whole next two years!”

Two times during in his Senate floor remarks, Coburn–a medical doctor–said he had personally “failed” veterans he’d been attempting to treat. The issue is personal for me as well. Almost exactly a year ago, a close friend of mine who had spent a decade in the U.S. Army and did one tour in Iraq killed himself six months after his honorable discharge (cover story “Transition Has Been Hell,” May 22, 2014, told that story).

OVERTHINKING IT

Fourteen employees of a Framingham, Massachusetts, pharmacy were indicted in December for defrauding the federal government by filling bogus prescriptions (despite an owner’s explicit instructions to staff that the fake customers’ names “must resemble real names,” with “no obviously false names” that might tip off law enforcement). Among the names later found on the customer list of the New England Compounding Center were: Baby Jesus, Hugh Jass, L.L. Bean, Filet O’Fish, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Harry Potter, Coco Puff, Mary Lamb, all of the Baldwin brother actors, and a grouping of Bud Weiser, Richard Coors, Raymond Rollingrock and, of course, Samuel Adams. The indictments were part of an investigation of a 2012 meningitis outbreak in which 64 people died.

It was billed as the first-ever art exhibition expressly for nonhuman appreciation–specifically, for examination by octopuses. England’s Brighton Sea Life Center featured the five-tank shared display in November (including a bunch of grapes, a piece of Swiss cheese and a plate of spaghetti–exhibits made of ceramic, plastic, wood and rope) that the center’s curator promised would, according to an ITV report, “stimulate an octopus’s natural curiosity about color, shape and texture.”

Two recent innovations to the generationsold Middle East sport of camel racing boosted its profile. First, to cleanse the sport of a sour period in which children from Bangladesh were trafficked to use as jockeys, owners have begun using “robot” jockeys–electronic dummies that respond to trainers tracking the races with walkie-talkies (growling encouragement directly into camels’ ears) and joysticks (that trigger a whip at an appropriate time). Second, the firm Al Shibla Middle East of United Arab Emirates has introduced lycra-style, whole-body camel coverings that are believed to enhance blood circulation and, perhaps, racing speed (although the fashions are now used only in training and transportation, to lessen camels’ “stress”). Ultimately, of course, the coverings may carry advertising.

“It’s not fair! There is not justice in this country!” shouted the mother of Franklin Reyes, 17, in a New York City courtroom in January after a judge ordered the son tried for manslaughter as an adult. Reyes, an unlicensed driver fleeing a police traffic stop, had plowed into a 4-yearold girl, killing her, but had initially convinced the judge to treat him as a “youthful offender.”

Reyes’ mom was so enraged at the judge’s switch that she had to be escorted from the room. (After the judge’s generous youthful offender ruling, Reyes had violated his bail conditions by getting arrested three more times.)

GREAT ART! In October, vandals in Paris destroyed the large, inflatable “Tree” by U.S. artist Paul McCarthy in the city’s Place Vendome square, but not before it became widely characterized as a gigantic green “plug” of the type used for anal sexual stimulation. Paris’ news website The Local reported in December that the controversy has been a boon to the city’s sex shops. “We used to sell around 50 (plugs) a month,” said one wholesaler. “Since the controversy, we’ve moved more than a thousand” (at the equivalent of $23 to $45, in materials ranging from glass to stainless steel to silicone).

WAIT, WHAT? The Territorial Seed Co. of Cottage Grove, Oregon, introduced a plant in 2014 that sprouts both tomatoes and potatoes, the aptly named “Ketchup ‘n’ Fries” plant. Grafting (rather than genetic modification) splices the tomato onto potato plants (to create single plants capable of harvests of 500 red cherry tomatoes and 4.5 pounds of potatoes each).

JIHADIST TODDLERS Britain’s Home Office directed in January that the U.K.’s nursery school staffs report pupils “at risk of becoming terrorists,” but gave little guidance on what teachers and managers should look for. According to a description of the directive in the Daily Telegraph, staffs must “have training that gives them the knowledge and confidence to identify children at risk of being drawn into terrorism and challenge extremist ideas.”

LATEST RIGHTS “All I’m looking for is what’s rightfully owed to me under the (corrections department) contract,” said Westchester County (New York) corrections officer Jesus Encarnacion, after having drawn $1.2 million in disability salary for the last 17 years as a result of slipping on a leaf of lettuce on a stairway. When he fell, he jammed his wrist and several surgeries ensued, and when he was finally ready for “light duty” a few years ago, he re-injured the wrist on the first day and never returned. Encarnacion now seeks a full disability retirement from the state, but officials maintain that “disability retirement” is for injuries resulting only from the rigors of the job.

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Police quickly tracking two assault suspects in Holland Township, Michigan, in December arrived at a residence at just the moment that suspect Codi Antoniello, 19, was starting to shave his head to alter his appearance.

Antoniello’s now-Internet-famous mugshot shows him with a full head of hair, minus the perhaps one-fourth on top shorn by electric clippers. And when the wife of James Rivers, 57, of Kent, Washington, was about to bust him for his alleged child-porn collection in October, he shipped his laptop to a technician to have the hard drive erased–but with explicit instructions that if the techie encounters a “hidden” file, he must not look at the photos “under any circumstances.” The techie, of course, found the file, looked and notified authorities, and Rivers was arrested. ■

n 1976, I moved to Maui for what I thought would be a brief interlude, but turned out to be closer to four decades of love-hate romance with Hawaii politics. That’s the year I became a general assignment reporter for the Maui News.

Before moving to Maui I had written both staff and freelance for many large metropolitan papers with readership in the hundreds of thousands, even a million or more, so though I was still quite young, I was an experienced working

I

journalist with a fat portfolio and many bylines. People found me cocky because I was cocky.

But no place I had ever worked before has prepared me for the level of credibility that people of the Valley Isle put in the Maui News. That paper was read and believed somewhat in the manner of Holy Scripture.

Some of my early reports for the Maui News were about staffing and financial difficulties at Maui Memorial Hospital.

Then, as now, it was Maui’s only acute

care hospital. Then, as now, most dollars in its budget were under state control and subject to political manipulation and sleight of hand. Distributing the dollars was up to three groups: Oahu members of the legislature who were in the majority, bureaucrats from the state Department of Health–which in those days ran the hospital–and Oahu union officials.

Those running the show on Oahu had an almost magical belief that 1) Maui didn’t matter and 2) you could fool all of the people all of the time.

Financing the local medical facility was always a shell game at best; that is a rigged game of chance. From then to now, no impartial observer could ever be sure which shell covered the pea, because providing the best possible healthcare to the people of Maui was always secondary to providing the most jobs, the most perks, political contracts and rewards. The name of the game was the ability to steer large sums of public money with little or no scrutiny or accountability. What we got depended on

who was in office and who were our friends (or not our friends). It’s called the “spoils system” for a reason, (“to the victor belongs the spoils.”)

Then, as now, there was no limit to the amount of political finagling that went/ goes on behind the scenes.

All of this was at the time unknown to me. I was a big city girl, a Detroit native.

I was used to asking hard questions and I was used to getting straight answers.

That series of stories about the local hospital eventually resulted in the resignation of the then State Director of Health and rattled the cages of a number of local officials whose positions as administrators resulted directly from their political connections (some still living so they shall remain nameless).

In the end, officials created enough full time permanent staff positions to at least temporarily meet the needs of a growing community.

That year we took two steps forward. Pure dumb luck, and it was entirely temporary.

stinking mess and make a proposal to coventure with the state. In broad terms the proposal calls for the private side (HPH) providing management and access to capital and the public side leasing the facilities out at a nominal rate. A transitional period is envisioned where Maui could still turn to the state for assistance. It’s conceivable that such a co-venture might not only defuse the financial crisis but eventually make Maui a stronger, better, more financially solvent hospital too.

To that end the hospital and its friends are now girding (for the third year in a row) to seek legislative authorization to pursue, a public-private partnership that could perhaps, over time eliminate the need for state subsidy and put Maui’s only critical care hospital on a sounder financial footing.

Sounds simple, even reasonable, but don’t hold your breath.

To my surprise, bankruptcy has its fans and I have talked with a number of wellversed intelligent adults who say, “Let it fail and start over.” I do not happen to be a member of that school. If you think

From then to now the hospital has regularly melted down at least once every decade. But none of the meltdowns have been as severe or as potentially debilitating as the one that the 214-bed Maui Memorial Medical Center (MMMC) faces today.

Most people on Maui are at least dimly aware that cuts have already been made, and also peripherally aware that more cuts are coming. They just have no comprehension of how big and nasty and hard the end game can and probably will be, and how it could affect every single person who lives or visits here.

But to tell the truth it doesn’t matter if the shortfall is $11 million or $30 million or closer to $50 million a few years out (hospitals in Maui County currently bring in $228.7 million a year in revenue). It doesn’t matter how large that sum is, or how it got that way. What’s important now is to understand it will take more money to close the gap than is ever likely to be forthcoming from the state.

All of the decisions on what will happen to the Maui hospital are going to be made by people on Oahu. Roughly $200 million passes through MMMC every year.

What the hospital doesn’t generate itself, what it doesn’t receive in reimbursement, is (in theory) made up by the state.

In fact, the hospital seldom receives adequate funding and it almost never knows how much is coming, when or for what.

MMMC is one of multiple hospitals that is in the state system of public hospitals and that this system is the fourth largest of its kind in the nation. Maui is also the largest of the state public hospitals, it wants out of the Hawaii Health Systems Corp. (HHSC), which is the administrative superstructure that is supposed to provide “efficiencies of scale” to the system, but only adds costs, red tape and bureaucracy. The HHSC would have been dismantled years ago were it not–as previously stated–that all public money in Hawaii is political.

In truth, HHSC’s day is (or should be) over. What’s more, one out of every four

hospitals in the US will fail, merge or go bankrupt in the next five years according to Becker’s, a leading publication of the health care industry.

What happens to the Maui hospital, (and to a lesser extent Kula and Lanai), its workers, the medical and professional staff, the administration, the unions, the contracts, and to the political system that spawned it and keeps this whole Kafkaesque loop in play, is in the hands of people who do not live on Maui and who only dimly comprehend the impact their actions will have on kind and quality of hospital services available to us here on the Valley Isle.

Oahu will decide what (if anything) in the way of money or enabling legislation comes to Maui. And it will be decided soon. The legislative session opened Jan. 21 and will be over in early April.

The major players are Wesley Lo, the hospital CEO and Rep. Joe Souki, D-Wailuku, the Speaker of the State House. With Souki in the House is Della Au Bellatti, D– Makiki, Tantalus, who chairs of the House Health Committee. Also key is Sen. Josh

Send more money, stat!

“WE ARE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE COMMUNITY AND ANY IMPACT THAT CHANGES WILL HAVE ON THE HEALTH CARE PROVIDED TO ALL OF THESE RURAL COMMUNITIES.” Green, D–Kona, Ka‘u (the only medical doctor in the Legislature), who chairs the Senate Health Committee.

Other leaders include union boss Randy Perreira, chief of the 42,000-member Hawaii Government Employees Association (HGEA)–Hawaii’s biggest union, and newly elected Governor David Ige. Then there’s Hawaii Pacific Health, a private, non-profit, unionized health care provider with four hospitals (Straub, Kapi’olani and Pali Momi on Oahu and Wilcox on Kauai) as well as 50 clinics throughout the state. HPH has more than 100 years of experience in Hawaii and is the state’s largest private health care provider.

HPH seems to be the only private sector provider that is willing to look at this hot

there will be pain and glitches attached to Plan A-to partner with a private health care provider - then take a close look a Plan B which comes with the kind of pain that only crash and burn can bring.

So who has the juice?

In the end, it’s Randy Perreira who has the biggest say. He is the man who heads a union with real political muscle and is used to using it.

Of the 1,400 or so people who work at the Maui hospital, a large number of them belong to the HGEA. In fairness, the union has done very well for its members in the past.

Whether it will be able to continue to do that in the future–as the facility spends down its cash reserves which it now counts in days, not months, and heads for

ruin remains to be seen.

It was Perreira who bragged on video that he and his supporters shot down the last two proposals that Maui has had in prior two sessions of the legislature. He now seems intent on stalling, blustering, blowing smoke, and making a series of loud noises that frankly aren’t worthy of a man of his abilities, intelligence and experience.

“We represent more than 2,390 members throughout the HHSC and are concerned about their positions, working conditions and vested benefits if a public/private partnership is formed moving forward,” Perreira said in a prepared statement back in November.

“We are also concerned about the community and any impact that changes will have on the health care provided to all of these rural communities. However, at this time, proponents of such an arrangement have not outlined the scope of their intent. We will continue to be part of the discussions.”

Those discussions will soon play out.

Even though the people steering this story want to focus on numbers, money, and labor it is really a story about changing times and ways to achieve more efficient and financially stable management. Because it’s Hawaii there will always be politics, but perhaps under a new regime it will be more about health and less about power.

Whether you like the current management or not also doesn’t seem to matter in the end. Under Plan A–a transition to HPH–they will be calling the shots and would probably put in their own managers after a transitional period. So under Plan A current management is likely to disappear, if not sooner, then eventually.

Under Plan B (bankruptcy), the court would appoint a receiver and the hospital would restructure, likely under Chapter 9, all contracts would be void and if you think you don’t like HPH because there isn’t enough job security and guarantees, you can kiss it all goodbye under bankruptcy.

It’s your choice.

It boggles my mind that I am still writing about this 40 years later. It boggles my mind that I have seen more of Souki and his fellow legislators in the last two months than in the last 20 years. It boggles my mind that I (the product of a pro-labor upbringing and with a solid string of labor credentials of my own) will advocate wholeheartedly for new management and the benefits a public private coventure can bring.

I dare labor to look beyond the end of its nose to the needs of all of us here on Maui including all of its own members and all of its retirees and all the people who depend on the hospital and all that will be lost if that hospital fails or is forced into failure by selfish and selfserving interests.

My message to Perreira is: We’re not taking it out on you–you’re taking it out on us. ■ editor@mauitime.com For more coverage, visit: mauitime.com/news/health

by Ed’s upbringing in Queens,” says Kathy. “Our kitchen space is a limitation. We also want to keep things on the healthier side, and we do not have a grill or hood system.”

Kathy says a source of recipe inspiration comes from “Johanna Waters on an ongoing basis, whose training is through Matthew Kenney and Mark Reinfeld in vegan fusion and plant-based cooking techniques. Sabine Sacksteder, our kitchen manager, is also involved with recipe creation and converts everything to a production level.”

I picked up a collard green wrap that had their chicken salad with nuts and cranberries tucked into it. It was an ingenious use of the thick, hearty green, which made a great gluten-free sandwich. The deli poke was delicious, glistening, cold and fresh. They stock three or four different kinds daily.

The O’Malleys say at the end of the day, employees take home leftovers.

They don’t throw away anything that could be given away.

hen Kuau Mart closed in 2011, the Northshore was bummed. We lost a beloved mom and pop bodega. What’s worse, there were barely any left. There were rumors that Whaler’s General Store or ABC Stores were gonna step into that spot, but instead it sat empty.

The effect is to mix a modern look with a shabby chic feel.

The delicatessen offers panini sandwiches, poke, salads and plate lunches.

The juice and smoothie bar has espresso, kombucha on tap, little grab-and-go muffins and breads, fresh veggie juices and, of course, smoothies.

“The delicatessen is the focus of the store, and is fashioned after the old delis that we remember going to as kids,” says Kathy. “Ed grew up in New York City, I grew up in Detroit. We feel that fresh quality ingredients never go out of style, and taste best when prepared in a simple, classical way. But then we update

A&E

The Music Man Even Dave Chappelle likes DJ Kurt

K

urt Kaiser (aka DJ Kurt) is one of Maui’s most seen DJ’s. He works Casanova in Makawao on Wednesdays and Ambrosia in Kihei on Thursdays. Kaiser says it started with his love of music but once he got a taste of controlling the vibe of the party from behind the turntables, it was all over.

Q: A:

What kinds of events do you DJ?

I started DJ-ing for the love of music but I’m lucky enough to have made a career out of it. I’ve played for weddings, birthdays, school events, clubs and pretty much any event that calls for music.

Q: A: Q: A:

Have you always wanted to be a DJ?

My passion for DJ-ing began when I knew what a DJ did and how they worked the crowd. I love what I do to this day.

How does living on Maui affect you as a DJ?

Being on Maui has definitely helped my career in the fact that I’m born and raised here so I have everyone who I grew up with, my Maui family, all supporting me from the beginning. Plus, I am still meeting and making new friends at every gig I do!

Q: A:

What made you interested in being a DJ?

I’ve always been interested in music.

Ever since I was a kid I remember making mix tapes–sitting by the radio with a blank tape in the tape player ready to press record when a song would come on that I liked. As I got older, I became introduced to dance music and EDM and went to my first party. I saw the DJ and how he affected the crowd. This is when I knew that DJ-ing is what I wanted to do.

Q: A:

If you hadn’t become a DJ, what other career would you have done?

I’ve always been interested in marine biology. I love the ocean and all of its living creatures. I used to volunteer with the Pacific Whale Foundation cleaning up beaches and doing fun water activities.

Q: A:

Do you dream of DJ’ing on the mainland?

I love Djing on Maui but I have always dreamt of playing off island, there is so much more to see musically off of Maui. Occasionally I travel to the mainland for a show and have always wanted to do something there. The events

on the mainland have a lot more put into them than they do here. Clubs have lots of intelligent lighting and big name DJs that you hear playing on the radio. It be a fun experience and a great opportunity.

Q: A:

What drives your song selection?

My playlist is based on the crowd or event. I usually like to bring a little bit of everything and I’ll go through different styles of sound until I find what the crowd responds to the most.

I always come prepared to every gig with a collection of different styles to make sure I meet everyone’s taste.

Q: A: Q: A:

Do you play any musical instruments yourself?

I’ve taken a couple music classes growing up but the only instrument that I really enjoyed playing was the piano.

Have you ever considered becoming a pianist?

People used to always tell me I should become a pianist because I have long fingers but I enjoy mixing music much more than playing it. I could see myself being interested in producing electronic music with a keyboard in the future.

Q: A:

What’s your favorite musical style?

This is a hard question as my musical style is always changing. I guess you could say that I like new sounds, fresh sounding beats. Right now I’m really into the Twerk Music–a type of EDM mixed with hip-hop sound that really gets the dance floor going.

Q: A:

Have you made remixes as well as playlists for parties and events?

Back when I lived at home with my parents I used to have my turn tables set up in the back room with speakers ready to go. Me and my friend Trevor (DJ Trvr) would get together and make mash-ups and mixes. Getting my first gigs in the clubs was a result of a mix I had recorded and given to the club owner.

Going into an event, I make playlists based on the client’s preference and what I think will please the crowd. I usually prepare remixes when DJ-ing for club scenes or dance parties, too.

Q: A:

What was your favorite memory as a DJ? A few months ago, I was DJ-ing at Casanova and I looked down and saw Dave Chappelle getting down

PHOTO BY BRANDEN JON PHOTOGRAPHY

on the dance floor. I’ve seen celebrities in Casanova before but this was the first time I saw one raging with the crowd! It was a fun night and one I will not forget.

Q: A:

What’s your music collection like?

I categorize my music by genre and from oldest to newest. I’m kind of old school about it in that I still use CDs because most DJ’s nowadays have all their music on a hard drive.

Q: A: Q: A:

Are you on social media?

Yes, I’m on Facebook as Kurt Kaiser (DJ Kurt).

What’s your preferred genre of music?

It all depends on what type of event I’m DJ-ing. For more of a club scene, I like to play hip-hop and some of the more trending music remixed with my own personal style. When playing for my friends or myself, I prefer EDM and house music.

Q: A:

What was your biggest gig with DJ-ing?

I would have to say landing residency at Casanova as the Ladies Night DJ is one of my biggest gigs because it’s ongoing and always raging. Another big gig I was fortunate to be a part of was playing at the Mardi Gras Party in 2014 for the Maui Aids Foundation at the Kahili Golf Course. We’re actually getting prepared to do the next Mardi Gras Party on Feb. 7. ■ jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso For more A&E stories, visit: mauitime.com/entertainment

Given the 11 or so albums he's produced and all the awards he's won through the years (including a Grammy and multiple Na Hoku Hano Hanos), this isn't surprising. "After a four year tour in the Navy, John returned to his home and was drawn to the sound of Hawaiian slack-key," states his biography on his website. "He listened and watched and taught himself to play this style of music." He plays mostly on the Big Island, but now you can catch him this Sunday at a special show in Ka‘anapali. 2:30pm.

Been There, Done That If you’ve seen ‘The Godfather,’ don’t bother with ‘A Most Violent Year’ ★★★★★ Rated R / 125 Min.

I

t’s impossible to get a great story out of your head, especially when it influences you creatively and inspires you to tell stories of your own. Great works of literature, art, theater and film are so ingrained in my memory, I sometimes find myself quoting them accidentally, or recalling moments from them as vivid as a memory. I thought about this while watching J.C. Chandor’s A Most Violent Year, which feels reconstructed from multiple viewings and a lifelong affection to Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather. I don’t know if that movie was the direct inspiration for Chandor but it certainly looks that way.

Oscar Isaac stars as a Abel Morales, a New York businessman who is trying to get his oil company established as a respectable, consistent entity. He finds his trucks are constantly being hijacked by competitors, who all greet him with smiles and insist they’re not the ones ripping him off. Abel’s wife, Anna (played by Jessica Chastain), isn’t as tactful, as her hot temper and noted

criminal father sometimes come up in threatening ways in conversation. Morales strives to keep his business legitimate and free of corruption but can’t seemingly find a way to make an “honest” living in the Big Apple of the 1980s, when loyalties were bought and crime rates were absurdly high.

Even with the early ‘80s setting, A Most Violent Year has close thematic and narrative ties to The Godfather, as well as other tales of criminal behavior that stemmed from tough guys struggling to do the right thing and failing. Chandor’s reserved approach worked for his debut film, Margin Call, but not for a gangster drama. Movies dealing with the mafia, criminals on the rise or established crime families don’t have to be sensational or bloody, but they shouldn’t feel like a stage play, either.

Isaac’s commanding performance is impressive, though his role keeps most of his character’s moral outrage internalized. Making Abel resemble Al Pacino as Michael Corleone is sort of clever, only that his performance is nowhere near as interesting as Pacino’s iconic turn. Chastain is exceptional, playing a wife and mother far more dangerous than her husband, as

Kiss me like you're Al Pacino

she appears more willing to embrace the danger involved. Albert Brooks appears in another joke-free, deadly serious supporting role, but the part is nowhere near as rich as his villainous turn in Drive.

The light brown cinematography resembles Gordon Willis’ legendarily soupy look for The Godfather, and many scenes evoke the feel of Puzo’s classic tale but Coppola never made a film so dull. It’s slow and quiet, to the point where it becomes more sleep inducing than moody. We’ve seen much of this before, not only in the Godfather trilogy but in other big city crime films like American Gangster and Carlito’s Way. Chandor’s film is smaller, but even most middle of the road Mean Streets wannabees have more to offer and stick in the mind with greater clarity afterwards.

This doesn’t have the required fire in its belly and lacks the mastery of the craft that

Chandor brought to his technical tour de force, last year’s All Is Lost with Robert Redford. Isaac and Chastain work well together but they lack genuine chemistry, whereas Pacino and Diane Keaton never had that problem (the comparison isn’t unfair, since Chandor’s film owes so much to The Godfather).

Chandor stages a great chase scene and his one-on-one confrontations are crispy (especially Chastain’s taunting of the D.A. who abruptly searched her home). Yet, his film maintained, at best, a loose grip on me.

Early on, there’s a moment where Isaac is seen standing atop one of his trucks, his frame towering mightily against the cityscape behind him. We get it. The image is both unnecessary and obvious. The message Chandor’s film is pushing, how crime may be an essential element in obtaining the American Dream, is old.

In every way, Don Corleone got there first. ■

Horoscope

Sign Language AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Sarcasm will get you nowhere (since those you’re forced to deal with this week are liable to just take you seriously). Neither will flattery, however, because it’s bound to come off as insincere and manipulative.

In other words, quiet earnestness, as boring as that may be, is your best ticket to clear communication for now, and anything that involves layers of meaning or innuendo will simply backfire. We all know you’re witty and clever and crazy brilliant. But now we want to know: just how real and uncomplicated can you be?

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Sometimes fantasies are easy to make happen. The best ones, in your book, are also the least complicated: Spending a night wrapped in the arms of the one you love is far more enjoyable and achievable than some other signs’ more ambitious and elaborate dreams. Keeping it simple is just exactly the way this week to maintain happiness. No need for convoluted plans of action. Definitely don’t overthink your situation or draft elaborate scenarios for how to improve upon it. You’ll please yourself (and everyone around you) best by simply doing what feels right.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Pisceans can fall into a trap of self-distrust. Because you’re usually of two (or five) minds about virtually everything, it can be incredibly difficult to figure out just what to do. Unfortunately, this is part of your very nature. It’s a strength to see things from so many different angles, but it can also lead to inaction or inability to commit. Don’t let that happen to you. You may never be 100% about something, but I think if you poll your heart, gut, and mind, you should be able to form an internal consensus and actually choose something(or someone). Don’t wait for the moment when everything clicks, because it may never come. Instead, hold out for the instant whenmost things click, and go for it.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

When you’re stuck in quicksand, don’t thrash around or panic. Fidgeting and trying to get free will only facilitate your suctioned descent into muck. Instead, try to lay still and float—and holler for rescue. If help isn’t forthcoming (which it simply may not be), don’t flip out. You can get yourself out of the mess—you just have to be very patient. Move slowly and carefully against the viscosity of the trap. This week, flailing is your absolute worst option (followed by shitting your pants, freaking out, or even just worrying). Relax, and go as slowly as you possibly can, and you’ll float effortlessly free of your sticky situation. Struggle and you’ll sink like a stone.

tattoos by Rachel G

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

First thoughts are usually your most powerful ones.

It’s when you stop to rethink things that they get distracted, distorted, and diluted. That’s why you Rams are almost always at your best when you’re acting from gut instinct, without much pause for reflection.

Unfortunately, recently life has taken a lot of the oomph out of your usually tremendous initiative. Banish the phrase, “On second thought,” from your lexicon.

Commit to the wisdom of your subconscious mind this week, and just go with your deepest impulses. It might land you in a little trouble, but it will also ultimately get you closer to your own best (truest) path.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Your flawless perspicacity is renowned the world over. There’s one virtue to spending a good chunk of your life as your crowd’s resident wallflower: you have a lot of time to think, analyze and come up with incredibly astute (and oft hilarious) conclusions. But this week is about action, baby, not observation. You know as well as anyone that unless you’re able to actually use your hard-won knowledge and wisdom, there’s no point to acquiring it. Unfortunately, this week’s window of opportunity is vanishingly slim.

Unless you leap on it without hesitation, you’ll miss it.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Nobody knows the trouble you’ve seen—or caused.

That’s right, except me; I’m onto you. I know that only about half the shit you’re responsible for actually gets credited to you. I’ve been conspiring to keep it secret as well, in order to prevent your already tarnished rep from being sullied further. But since at least a couple of your secret coups are about to be oh-so-publicly exposed this week (or maybe next week) I say beat the astrological muckrakers to the punch. Own up to (and simply own) what you’ve done. It’ll take the wind out of their sails and right into yours.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

You asked for it. “Go ahead,” you dared your critics.

“Dish it out. I can take it.” And you can, as it turns out.

But it still sucks to be receiving verbal rundowns of your flaws and failings at every turn. It almost makes it impossible to aspire to actual self-improvement, because you’re so busy weathering storms of scathing censure.

Still, you might as well batten down your emotional hatches and let your detractors get it out of their systems. Once they do, and you’re still not only standing, but soaring, they won’t be able to help being impressed.

Slow down, you maniac. You’re not a racecar driver careening around corners, protected by years of training, safety equipment, and a gravel trap to slow you down if you skid off the track. Your breakneck speeds might be thrilling, but they’re also reckless, and pointless besides. This isn’t a race. You’ll get to where you’re going—assuming you don’t wipe out and crash (simultaneously dragging half the other drivers off the road along with). To avoid that horribly unpleasant (and completely unnecessary) eventuality, gently put your foot on the brake. Turn on your stereo, crack a window, appreciate the scenery, and just, in general, enjoy the ride.

You hate things hanging over your head. I’m not talking mistletoe here; I’m referring to urgent, unfinished tasks. In fact, having one of these specters haunting you can be nearly incapacitating, until you’ve finally done your duty. Unfortunately, because of the unique vagaries of complicated timing required this week, you are going to have choose your moments carefully, and act when a window of opportunity appears, regardless of what else you’re trying to finish that minute. In other words, you might as well get used to doing one thing while you’ve got three other halffinished things lurking in the background of your mind. If you don’t, I can guarantee: you’ll end the week without finishing a single one of them.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

You’ve got lovely bones. I’m referring to the solid underpinnings of your emotional world. Unfortunately, they’ve been partially obscured by fatty feelings, emotional cellulite you’ve acquired through crappy circumstance and occasional foul treatment, as a kind of buffer. But there’s no need for that layer of spiritual blubber anymore. You’re quick and smart enough to dodge the few karmic missiles still aimed in your direction. So go on an emotional diet, eat your words before you say them, if you discover they’re coming from a place of fear, or self-protection. If that leaves you feeling exposed and vulnerable, you’ve done the right thing. For the wonderful something coming your way, you want to be as naked and open and receptive as it’s possible to be.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

The rubble from the avalanche that buried you months ago is finally shifting. You haven’t managed to climb clear, yet, but at least you’ve been able to move. That must feel amazing, after being just plain stuck for so long. There’s light, air, and the promise of imminent freedom, finally. Start digging yourself out, of course, but be careful. Scrambling heedlessly willy-nilly could trigger another avalanche that leaves you buried worse than before. There’s no need for fear, overthinking, or glacially slow movement. Just keep your eyes and ears open, and take your time.
