The Boycott Hawaii Cure

PHOTO COURTESY RON COGSWELL / FLICKR

How a New York Times writer got Hawaii so wrong

Image of Pele on display at Volcanoes National Park

T

he Mar. 21 New York Times article “The Hawaii Cure: A first trip to the island, in a desperate bid to escape the news” is hard to read. Beginning with the first night at the lu‘au where author Wells Tower is “hankering after something incontestably Hawaiian” and ending with him wanting to “poke lava with a stick” alongside other tourists at Kilauea, every stereotype and dismissal of a culture and people is encased in a simple description of the author’s vacation with his family, and then sent out for the world to read. Not surprising–because variances of this patronizing and dismissal tone presents itself in many publications that attempt to depict Hawai‘i–but hard to read all the same.

It’s no wonder that, within the same week this article was published, #boycotthawaii was a thing and met with attitudes ranging from glee to invite (Yes, please boycott Hawai‘i) to encouragement from others (Yay! Hawai‘i). What was meant to be a scolding by Donald Trump fans that disagreed with a native Hawaiian federal judge’s ruling on Trump’s travel ban instead ignited encouragement from those who disagree with Trump. But both the scolding and the anti-Trump voices have it wrong. Hawai‘i is not yours to boycott, except in the limiting perspective of the “all welcoming” island spaces, put in place by a tourism industry that wants to profit.

Boycott that.

If you listened close enough to the responses of #boycotthawaii, a rendering of the historical facts would have perhaps influenced a questioning of narratives.

Some cited the history and sovereignty of the Hawaiian Kingdom, the illegal overthrow of Queen Lili‘uokalani in 1893, and the subsequent and prolonged occupation of Hawai‘i, with the failure of the U.S. to secure a Treaty of Annexation in 1898. If you listened to the responses close enough, the appropriation and selling of Hawaiian

culture and places to the highest bidder, and to the largely adverse effects on both “natives” and places, were spoken loud and clear in the seemingly casual responses.

Apparently Tower didn’t take the time to either ponder these responses, or to reflect on his recent attempt to take a “Hawaii cure” on “the island” (like there’s only one), whereby “the news” doesn’t happen.

His rhetoric of “the island” stems from the same vein of insight that ponders if we have electricity here or if we still live in hale. They missed a couple of centuries of modernity in Hawai‘i, and then are surprised and more than a little taken aback when encountering the reality. Then, there are the valiant attempts to reconcile and piece together ideas of “nativeness” within an American genre.

This article is multi-fold. One, reality can only be viewed through the lens of an American understanding of people and place.

Two, within this perspective, the encounter is always favored by the privileged, those that can come and then leave, and with very little knowledge of or attempt to understand the actual places they are visiting. Finally, and to show cultural superiority, no real conversation (of “national” politics, or about anything) occurs outside of the continent.

Tower begins with “Can it be true? The aloha spirit is real? Paradise on earth? An Eden of happy Americans moated from our national ravages of malevolence, contempt, uncertainty and fear?” Captioned after these questions is a photo of someone lounging, feet up, poolside at the Sheraton Waikiki.

To cut to the heart of the matter, Haunani Kay Trask’s article “Lovely Hula Hands: Corporate Tourism and the Prostitution of Hawaiian Culture” has a direct response and analysis for his opening questions. “This fictional Hawai‘i comes out of the depths of Western sexual sickness which demands a dark, sinfree Native for instant gratification between imperialist wars,” she says. “The attraction of Hawai‘i is stimulated by slick Hollywood movies, sac-

charine Andy Williams music, and the constant psychological deprivations of maniacal American life. Tourists flock to my Native land for escape, but they are escaping into a state of mind while participating in the destruction of a host people in a Native place.”

Unknowingly proving Trask’s thesis, Tower then takes us through five days of vacation on O‘ahu and Hawai‘i Island. After the mandatory lu‘au the first night where “’Aloha’ means last to the buffet,” Tower encounters a “fat and saucy cockroach” at the Waikiki Beach Hilton and “in the live-andlet-live aloha spirit,” decides not to “molest the animal.” Aloha is used as a throw away word as he searches for the highly reproduced and advertised “Hawaii cure.”

The next day, Tower finds himself at the “Banzai Pipeline” where “The young and barely clad are out in force, demonstrating physiques that can only come from long and rigorous hours of ignoring national politics.” He also notices a photo shoot on the beach and the “professional butt” of a woman posing. Maybe discontent with his own physique, because in the midst of this scene he declares, “No way will I be bathing here,” the lay-around lifestyle he perceives is interjected with his attempts to be clever, but really displays his contempt and condescension for spaces he doesn’t understand.

Continuing on their journey through the North Shore, Tower and his family stops at Kahuku Superette, which he describes as a “homely liquor shop/convenience store that from the outside is easily pictured in a newscast with police lights flashing on it.” The perceived dangerous side of Hawai‘i shines bright for Tower, and he attempts to counter these uneasy feelings with trying to find solace in the search for Americana. Having survived Kahuku Superette and the poke “sashimi salad,” the author wants to visit the Arizona Memorial but they are out of tickets. So instead, “we resolve to take in our nation of history with a trudge around the Makiki neighborhood where Barack Obama grew up.”

Tower is distressed that there are no markers of Obama’s now famous stomping grounds, either at the former apartment building where his family once lived, or at the Baskin-Robbins where Obama worked.

At the apartment building, Tower notices only “one (small-size) American flag,” while at Baskin-Robbins he remarks, “It is the sort of cramped little parlor that, if you had a job there, would make you sink into despair or go on to be the President.”

This obsession with Americana blinds him to the environments in which he actually finds himself, except to remain alert for the themes. “Parking is free on the street, one of Makiki’s practical concessions to the paradise theme.” As though every inch of Hawai‘i should fit a paradise theme.

After just two days, Tower and his family find themselves on Hawai‘i Island. They hit Ahalanui pond and the signs of warnings about entering this warm pond excites Tower. Here is the dan-

ger of the encounter to be overcome. For him, he does just that and finds solace. He exclaims, “The pond is excellent, maybe the closest I have ever found to my mind’s ideal of the great American swimming hole.”

His interaction with the park, and with the life that occurs in the parking lot, brings him to Coconut Man No. 2 (because there was already an encounter with a Coconut Man No. 1). He allows that he could never actually live on Hawai‘i Island because this man selling coconuts attempts to rip him off by not returning $10 in change, thus “nipping a budding and inconvenient fancy that I might like to live here on the Big Island.” That’s all it took? A sauve talking coconut purveyor to turn you off to living here? What a lightweight.

However, the curiosity of living on Hawai‘i Island does not wane, because apparently once you like something, you have to occupy it. He remarks, “Real estate in these parts would probably cost you a thumb.”

And, when observing the houses, “While some of the citizens keep spectacular gardens, this is also a place where if you want to leave some old mattresses or an engine hoist in your yard, you just go ahead and do it.”

As trivial these observations, it’s when Tower gets to Kilauea that he really displays how narrow his perspectives. Halemaumau crater, the summit of Kilauea, is the Hawai‘i home of Pele. “But who wants to glimpse lava from afar when you can get close enough to jab it with a stick?” This is where he watches “newborn wads of America bulge and slip toward the sea.” Finally, finally, Tower has to “put my back to the miraculous and get on with life.” Thus ending his vacation.

Briefly miraculous, but the encounter surely lacking the cure he ultimately sought.

In her own version, Haunani Kay Trask finishes her essay by plainly stating, “Now that you have heard a Native view, let me just leave this thought behind. If you are thinking of visiting my homeland, please don’t. We don’t want or need any more tourists, and we certainly don’t like them. If you want to help our cause, pass this message on to your friends.” She is asking for relief from the onslaught–not so different from the multitude of voices that manage to pierce the surface occasionally and ask for the same.

The spontaneous pushback to a simple hashtag #boycotthawaii sparked a levity that many welcomed, as the encounter, voiced by Tower and others, continues to privilege the privileged. In dealing with the day-to-day reality and the multitude of negative effects that have plagued Hawai‘i since the last century, created and continued by the collusion of government interests with tourism (and military) entities, a relief from the onslaught would be a welcomed change. Change to actually be with both the miraculous and mundane. ■ editor@mauitime.com For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

WILL MAUI COUNTY SOON HAVE CONCESSIONS AND SPONSORSHIPS IN ITS PUBLIC PARKS? In his 1996 novel Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace imagined a future in which everything corporations sponsored everything in society–including time itself. Numbered years gave way to the “Year of the Whopper,” “Year of the Tucks Medicated Pad,” “Year of the Trial-Size Dove Bar” and so forth. It’s funny on its face, but given government’s increasing reliance on corporate sponsorships, also extremely sarcastic.

There was, of course, no mention of Jest at the Mar. 29 Maui County Council Budget & Finance Committee hearing, but the novel filled my thoughts during the deliberations. That’s because after nearly two hours of testimony and discussion, the committee voted 7-2 to start exploring the possibility of adding concessions and sponsorships to public parks in Maui County.

Considered to be mere “enabling legislation,” the bill–titled “Concessions and Sponsorships in County Parks and Recreation Facilities”–contains no details about any future concession or sponsorship. But it does make it possible for the county Parks Department to begin the “awarding and administering of concessions and sponsorships, including contracts for pouring rights, advertising, vending machines, and parking,” according to the committee meeting agenda.

It also allows for “sponsorship agreements” and establishes a fund “for the deposit of all funds received from concessions and sponsorships.” As to who has ultimate responsibility to approve any of these new corporate sponsorships, that would seem to be the County Council itself, Councilmember Don Guzman said during the hearing.

It’s true, as Parks Department Deputy Director Brianne Savage noted during the hearing, that these days, even Maui’s public parks aren’t completely free of corporate influences. Pop-up concessions are legal today sports events. What’s more, youth league sports typically bring along their

own sponsorships, in which local businesses pay to outfit the team in exchange for putting their logo on the uniforms.

But the hearing seemed to make clear that the thought that public parks should be free of big corporate advertising and influences and just be places where a person can go and not be a consumer is dead on Maui.

“I’m looking at every single revenue source available to the county under state law,” Committee Chair Riki Hokama said during the hearing, adding that the Council has been talking about park concessions for 20 years. “If we go three to five years on pouring rights [the exclusive right to serve beverages at a venue or facility], there’s a potential for this county to get seven digits.”

“Seven digits.” Hokama kept repeating those words during the hearing like he was some marketing guru. “The county can get seven digits a year in revenue,” Hokama would say. Later, Parks Department Director Ka‘ala Buenconsejo repeated that, saying the county could earn “upwards in the seven-digit range.” Buenconsejo added that his department has already received “numerous calls” from food truck operators around the island interested in park concessions. He said they could charge the trucks “$1,500 to $3,500” for a space at a park like Launiuopoko.

Well, maybe. Buenconsejo’s comments were in response to a question from Councilmember Alika Atay, who had asked if the department had done a feasibility study on all this. “It all depends on the extent we

want to take it to,” Buenconsejo admitted, saying revenue would range from “millions of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars–but close to a million dollars.”

The whole obsession with revenue that was driving the bill made sense–it wasn’t an accident that this was coming up in his Budget & Finance Committee, rather than the Parks, Recreation, Energy and Legal Affairs Committee or even the Policy, Economic Development and Agriculture Committee. Foremost on Hokama’s mind was clearly Mayor Alan Arakawa’s recent proposal for an across-the-board 7.5 percent hike in property taxes.

“This is not intended to replace names,” Hokama said at one point, in reference to the part of the bill that deals with sponsorships and naming rights. “It was never the intent to close off beaches or shut down beaches. Just this–does it make sense for the county to consider concessions? Sister counties make a lot of money on pouring rights.”

Savage, the deputy Parks Department director, echoed that statement about the near-universality of sponsorships and concessions. “This is really common in other municipalities,” Savage said.

“We don’t want to be like every other municipality in the United States,” Councilmember Kelly King countered. “We’re Maui.”

Of course, Savage was right. Corporate sponsorships are a big deal around the world, and they’re getting bigger (in 2010, Levi Strauss even sponsored an entire city–Braddock, Pennsylvania–as part of a deal that brought the town more than $1 million).

According to a 2016 report from IEG, which tracks corporate sponsorships, total global spending on them rose from $51.1 billion in 2012 to $57.5 billion in 2015. Another organization, NamePlace.com, acts as a facilitator between corporations (which it calls “brands”) and municipalities (“neighborhoods”) in arranging sponsorships.

“Neighborhoods, where soccer games happen, swim competitions take place, evening walks occur and baseball games are played, represent the very definition of community,” NamePlace states on its website. “Now, brands can engage with these audiences. The neighborhoods will decide who to let in, but there is no shortage of high-integrity and high-impact possibilities.

Overheard “It takes a long time to grow that tall.”

-Girl in Kaanapali, Mar. 31

We’re not going to replace all the tax revenue lost in the recession. But we’re going to do a lot more than another bake sale ever could.”

For most city and county officials across the country, this is an extremely attractive message. Why raise taxes when you can just plaster corporate logos on scoreboards and bleachers? And really, where’s the harm in allowing Dairy Queen to get a little of that brand engagement at, say, the ball field on Lanai (an actual example used

by Guzman during the hearing) if it results in the kids getting a new scoreboard?

As it turned out, King ended up being one of just two councilmembers to oppose the bill (the other was Bob Carroll).

Indeed, though Hokama first introduced the bill back in October 2016, I didn’t hear anything about it until Friday, Mar. 24, when King appeared at a Honolulu Civil Beat gathering at UH Maui College and denounced it (as well as the general lack of attention around it).

At one point during the Mar. 29 hearing, King mentioned that the whole naming rights portion of the bill was confusing because “everything that’s already named can’t be changed.” Savage responded that the issue seemed to be nothing more than terminology.

“We’re talking about presenting sponsors,” Savage said. She then gave the following example: Coca-Cola comes to the county and offers $10 million for the Kihei Community Center. The posted sponsorship would then read “Coca-Cola Presents the Kihei Community Center.”

King then told Savage that her example didn’t really make her feel better.

In fact, she even said she’d support the bill if the whole sponsorships portion was gone–something Savage said the Parks Department could live with.

But as it turned out, that wasn’t necessary. Seven members voted to approve the entire bill, which included a late amendment from Guzman that added the same naming criteria currently used by the county Public Works Commission to the bill. The bill is now free to proceed to the County Council itself.

Though most of the members of the public who testified on the bill did so under the apparently mistaken belief that the bill would eliminate CORA (Commercial Ocean Recreation Activity) permits–both Councilmember Guzman and Parks Director Buenconsejo stated that the bill does no such thing–Hi-Tech Surf Sports owner Kim Ball did testify against the bill on its merits.

“We would be a prime candidate to bid on a contract, but I oppose this,” said Ball.

“Our parks are already maxed-out. The limited space is going to get squeezed even more. Are tourists asking for rentals at our parks? Maui is not Waikiki.” ■ editor@mauitime.com + @apignataro For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

Apparently, the growth of Maui Bus ridership means that we can now share in even more advertising.

“We are excited to bring a high quality transit advertising program to Maui for the first time,” said Jeff De Innocentis, owner of Stone Jetty Advertising, in the press release. “Maui is an excellent market for interior bus ads because of continuous growth among a wide demographic of bus riders.”

Oh boy! Now bus riders can stare at ads inside the bus during their rides! You know, instead of staring at their phones or off into the passing distance or at that one jittery guy in the back. Of course, the reason for this is the same one that’s driving the county to sell off park sponsorships–it needs money.

“The County of Maui is trying to be more fiscally responsible thereby looking at other means for revenue generation than just raising taxes,” said Don Medeiros, county Transportation Director, in the news release. “We are excited for this opportuni-

Now I’ll admit that when I first looked at this photo, I didn’t really see a lot of inspiration from “Hawaii’s craft and cultural traditions.” Honestly, I didn’t see a lot of Hawaii (unless they were talking about the Apple Store in Waikiki). So I showed to others in the office.

“Huh,” said Culinary, Lifestyle and Business Editor Jen Russo. “Hawaii?

According to an April 3 news release from Hawaiian Airlines, the interior’s textiles “pay homage to traditional Hawaiian crafts, from bark cloth (kapa) to fishing nets.” Signage apparently uses the Hawaiian language, and there are “unexpected textures” and “custom floor and wall laminates” in the lavatories (I don’t know about you, but “unexpected textures” in ANY lavatory are usually bad).

President Donald Trump’s continued assault on immigration has led to the implementation of ‘deportation forces’ across the country. These units have attempted to draft local law enforcement officials from every state, including Hawaii.

To combat this, the American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii (ACLU) sent letters to officials in every Hawaii county, warning of the consequences these deportation forces create.

“We ask that the County of Maui not become an accomplice to the Trump Administration’s agenda of division and fear,” states the ACLU’s Mar. 23 letter, which was sent to Mayor Alan Arakawa, Council Chair Mike White, Corporation Counsel Patrick Wong and Police Chief Tivoli Faaumu. “We also offer our support in efforts to resist the pressure from the Trump Administration, and assistance where the County of Maui may seek to refine its policies and practices in this area.”

The letter focused on two primary con-

cerns: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers, which have asked local law enforcement to detain people for an additional 48 hours, without legal authority or probable cause, and participation in the 287(g) program; a program which allows the federal government to deputize local police as ICE agents, without the necessary training.

Both these policies are voluntary, though it’s not hard to see how they could be used in malicious ways.

“People across the country are urging local governments to stand up to Trump’s dangerous immigration agenda, which seeks to indiscriminately tear communities and families apart,” said ACLU Hawaii Legal Director Mateo Caballero said in the press release.

County Communications Director Rod Antone didn’t respond to our request for comment on the ACLU letter.

Here’s a shot of the cabin of the new Hawaiian Airlines A321neo. The airline says that, if you look really carefully, this cabin is evocative of Hawaii.

“Drawing inspiration from a proud heritage and shining a light into the future,” states a Hawaiian Airlines webpage on the new A321neo cabins. “Inspired by Hawaii’s craft and cultural traditions, this cabin expresses our heritage through bold, con-

a “full LED mood-lighting system” that will “evoke Hawaii’s unmatched sunrises and sunsets, enhancing the guest’s mood at each stage along their journey.”

Seriously, none of this should surprise me. This is, after all, the same airline that limits passengers to traveling with no more than two surfboards in their baggage–a policy that has drawn protests from people like Hurley founder Bob Hurley and surfers Kelly Slater and Dusty Payne. “[Hurley] said on Instagram that he wasn’t allowed to bring three surfboards in a single board bag, even though they were all small and fell under the weight restriction,” states a Aug. 5, 2016 Hawaii News Now story. “He offered to pay extra, but was still denied.”

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION A highlight of the recent upmarket surge in Brooklyn, N.Y., as a residential and retail favorite, was the asking price for an ordinary parking space in the garage at 845 Union Street in the Park Slope neighborhood: $300,000 (also carrying a $240-a-month condominium fee and $50 monthly taxes). That’s similar to the price of actual one-bedroom apartments in less ritzy Brooklyn neighborhoods like Gravesend (a few miles away).

Saginaw, Michigan, defense lawyer Ed Czuprynski had beaten a felony DUI arrest in December, but was sentenced to probation on a lesser charge in the incident, and among his restrictions was a prohibition on drinking alcohol–which Czuprynski acknowledged in March that he has since violated at least twice. However, at that hearing (which could have meant jail time for the violations), Czuprynski used the opportunity to beg the judge to remove the restriction altogether, arguing that he can’t be “effective” as a lawyer unless he is able to have a drink now and then. (At press time, the judge was still undecided.)

FINE POINTS OF THE LAW Residents in southern Humboldt County, California, will vote in May on a proposed property tax increase to fund a community hospital in Garberville to serve a web of small towns in the scenic, sparsely populated region, and thanks to a county judge’s March ruling, the issue will be explained more colorfully. Opponent Scotty McClure was initially rebuffed by the registrar when he tried to distribute, as taxpayer-funded “special elections material,” contempt for “Measure W” by including the phrase “(insert fart smell here)” in the description. The registrar decried the damage to election “integrity” by such “vulgarity,” but Judge Timothy Cissna said state law gives him jurisdiction only over “false” or “misleading” electioneering language.

News of the Weird has written several times (as technology progressed) about Matt McMullen’s “RealDoll” franchise–the San Marcos, California, engineer’s richly detailed flexible silicone mannequins that currently sell for $5,500 and up (more with premium custom features). Even before the recent success of the very humanish, artificially intelligent (AI) android “hosts” on TV’s “Westworld,” McMullen revealed that his first AI doll, “Harmony,” will soon be available with a choice of 12 “personalities,” including “intellectualism” and “wit,” to mimic an emotional bond to add to the sexual. A recent University of London conference previewed a near future when fake

women routinely provide uncomplicated relationships for lonely (or disturbed) men.

(Recently, in Barcelona, Spain, a brothel opened offering four “realdolls” “disinfected after each customer”–though still recommending condoms.)

WHICH MOVIE?!

Scientists at Columbia University and the New York Genome Center announced that they have digitally stored (and retrieved) a movie, an entire computer operating system and a $50 gift card on a single drop of DNA. In theory, wrote the researchers in the journal Science, they might store, on one gram of DNA, 215 “petabytes” (i.e., 215 million gigabytes–enough to run, say, 10 million HD movies) and could reduce all the data housed in the Library of Congress to a small cube of crystals.

GOVERNMENT IN ACTION An office in the New York City government, suspicious of a $5,000 payment to two men in the 2008 City Council election of Staten Island’s Debi Rose, opened an investigation, which at $300 an hour for the “special prosecutor,” has now cost the city $520,000, with his final bill still to come. Despite scant “evidence” and multiple opportunities to back off, the prosecutor relentlessly conducted months-long grand jury proceedings, fought several court appeals, had one 23-count indictment almost immediately crushed by judges, and enticed state and federal investigators to (fruitlessly) take on the Staten Island case. In March, the city’s Office of Court Administration finally shrugged and closed the case.

IRONIES A chain reaction of fireworks in Tultepec, Mexico, in December had made the San Pablito pyro marketplace a scorched ruin, with more than three dozen dead and scores injured, leaving the town to grieve and, in March, to solemnly honor the victims–with even more fireworks.

Tultepec is the center of Mexico’s fireworks industry, with 30,000 people dependent on explosives for a living. Wrote The Guardian, “Gunpowder” is in “their blood.”

MISCELLANEOUS ECONOMIC INDICATORS “Bentley” the cat went missing in Marina Del Rey, California, on Feb. 26 and as of press time had not been located–despite a posted reward of $20,000. (A “wanted” photo is online, if you’re interested.) And British snack food manufacturer Walkers advertised in February for a part-time professional chip taster, at the equivalent of $10.55 an hour. And an Australian state administrative tribunal awarded a $90,000 settlement after a cold-calling telemarketer sold a farm couple 2,000 ink cartridges (for their one printer) by repeated pitches. ■

he gorgeous cedar playhouse at Kamalii Elementary School that you destroyed was loved by the preschool class. It was acquired through the hard work of teachers and

generous community donations, and was there just two weeks before you smashed it. To the class of children aged three, four and five–many of whom had developmental disabilities–it wasn’t just a playhouse. It was a place of hope, joy and imagination.

MAUI’S FIRST

TATTOO

SHOW The Pacific Ink and Art Expo comes to Lahaina Civic Center

By Jen Russo PHOTO BY DARRIS HURST

T

here’s no other place where art, music and culture come together like a tattoo convention. And now Maui is getting it’s own convention. In fact, this weekend the team responsible for Oahu’s successful Pacific Ink and Art Expo is bringing the expo to Maui.

Artists and tattoo royalty come from around the world to share their craft next to great music and food, all in a family-friendly environment. Tens of thousands of people typically attend the three-day expo on Oahu. It’s special because they focus on the Polynesian tradi-

tion of tattoos and wanted to share that from the beginning.

“The core team that started the expo is Kevin Read, Greg Frey, Tama Hall, and myself, Danny Casler,” says Danny Casler.

“Growing up here in Hawaii we wanted to do something that was different than any other tattoo convention out there.

That was creating an event that centered around Hawaiian and Pacific Islander culture. That is something we are really passionate about. Sharing the culture of the place we grew up in. When we threw out this idea to tattoo artists, we said,

‘Hey, this is what we are thinking of doing, would you support this?’ The support that came back was just overwhelming. People were like, ‘Absolutely, we don’t really have anything that showcases our culture or the traditional forms of tattooing.’ Modern tattooing has been the focal point, especially on the TV shows.

So we did it and it was a huge success right off the bat.”

Casler had worked as a manager for a tattoo artist on LA Ink, and they had traveled to Sydney to work at a tattoo show. It made a big impression on him.

“When I was in Australia I noticed that this event had thousands of people and hundreds of vendors,” says Casler. “I thought, wow, this is really awesome to have this environment where everyone can come together that have similar interests in music, tattoo, motorcycles, cars and that whole culture. When I got home, I rounded up some friends and said we should do this.”

The team agreed, and started working out the details.

“It’s one of those things where it was all trial by fire,” says Casler. “We had to

that. They love being able to share camaraderie with the other artists here in Hawaii.

They love the fact that all the people in Hawaii are very grateful to see them, and don’t make them feel uncomfortable. I think that’s the Hawaii way. We don’t have that whole starstruck thing going on over here. They appreciate the normality of it.

They are also gracious and tattoo guests and sign autographs, take pictures. They integrate themselves into the show.”

The expo is very involved in the community, wanting to emphasize that the Pacific Ink and Art Expo is a family-friendly outing. This year, the expo has teamed up with Lahainaluna High School and will give three $500 scholarships to deserving young students as well as donating to the the basketball team. They also work with the blood bank and food bank and many other local charities.

“We celebrate, share and create all forms of tattoo, no matter what,” says Casler. “The foundation is basically the Polynesian culture from Hawaii, Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand, where tattooing originated from. From Polynesia it spread to Japan and America. That is where you find guys like Sailor Jerry who went to Japan and studied the Japanese artists and was fascinated by their work. What happens is it started as one form and that’s why you hear the word ‘tribal.’ That tribal

sit down with politicians and explain to them why this is important for the culture and for the state as a revenue source and why it’s good for tourism. They got it right away. They said, ‘this is a great idea and we’re going to support you guys.’

Last year, the State of Hawaii awarded us a plaque of excellence for being a small business that contributes to the culture of Hawaii. We wanted to do something really good for the artists of Hawaii and the people of Hawaii.”

Surprisingly, coming to Maui five years later has proven more of a challenge.

Casler says the County of Maui’s permitting process is not as straightforward as Oahu, making planning their vision more difficult. He says the expo is already over budget from jumping through last-minute bureaucratic hoops. Nevertheless, the expo folks think it’s worth it and are happy to share their vision with the Valley Isle.

“Our goal is to do this every single year,” says Casler. “We would like to do this just like Oahu. We would like to say that we are going to be here for 10 yearsplus. It really matters that Maui sees this as something they want to be a part of.”

The expo has three days of more than 60 tattoo artists coming from all around the world, a full line-up of musical guests performing everyday, vendors booths, food booths and keiki entertainment. I’ve attended the Oahu Pacific Ink and Art Expo in the past, and love the buzz that comes from seeing so much art, tattooing and music align. Having the expo here on Maui will be a great time to see artists from Maui I don’t get to see all in one place. It will also be a chance to seek out visiting artists and enjoy some great entertainment. Tattoo celebrities that will be here include Sulu‘ape Keone Nunes and Keli‘i Makua, Sampson Hart from Pacific Rootz Tattoo, Jason Lawyer from Inkmasters and BMX motocross superstars Mike Castillo and Mike Metzger.

“The celebrities come to our show because they love being a part of this event,” says Casler. “The feedback we get from them–if you go to any other tattoo convention–is that celebrities are treated differently. They are put on a pedestal or used as props. For us, we don’t do that. We just say, ‘hey, you’re just a normal person here like anybody else.’ They love being treated like

form is a traditional form to find what group you are from. Then when you look at that tattoo, it indicated genealogy or their family or where they are from. After those styles became shared and modernized, everybody started incorporating different styles into their artwork. Now you have artists doing a realistic tattoo that looks like it’s going to jump off your body. From where it started in the most rudimentary form, which was animal bone, tortoise shell and a stick, with burnt ash for ink, it’s now a multi-billion dollar industry. We want to merge all of those into one. So the new guys can come to our show from the mainland or from around the world and actually see that you can have a machine in your hand and make a living and take care of your family. These are the guys that are still carrying on this tradition. Which may not be the most popular method or the easiest method, but it’s rooted in their culture, and this is how it is done.”

The Pacific Ink and Art Expo will be held at the Lahaina Civic Center Friday to Sunday. Tickets are $25 per day or $60 for all three days (kids 12 and under are free). There will be giveaways, temporary tattoo for the keiki, henna tattoos, cosmetic tattoos and more. For more information and to reserve tickets, go to Hawaiitattooexpo.com. ■

Film

by Barry Wurst II

Major Glitches Whitewashed ‘Ghost in the Shell’ isn’t worth your time ★★★★★ Rated PG13 / 107 Min.

R

upert Sanders’ adaptation of the celebrated manga and anime film Ghost in the Shell has many of the same assets and drawbacks of his prior film Snow White and the Huntsman. Both feature a high profile actress playing a powerful lead and great visuals, but leave you with precious little when the lights come up.

Scarlett Johansson stars as Major, a robot whose soul exists within her human mind.

Major works as a terrorist-battling soldier but suffers “glitches” that provide clues to her mysterious origins.

Purely as a visual experience, it’s top notch, especially on the big screen. The obvious Blade Runner, The Matrix and manga influences have merged to create rich, jaw dropping vistas. As a story, it leaves a far colder, muted effect. I never grew emotionally engaged in Major’s dilemma, didn’t hate the villain and wasn’t captivated by the narrative I missed reading Masamune Shirow’s 1989 serial manga but did catch the 1995 anime adaptation of Ghost in the Shell when

it first arrived stateside. It oddly gave me the same impression as the 2017 remake: great action, splendid visuals but an overly familiar story with concepts better explored elsewhere. Numerous others film are better portraying humanity existing within a machine.

To name just a few: the recent Ex Machina, the classic Metropolis, Steve Spielberg’s wondrous A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Paul Verhoeven’s perfect RoboCop and Ridley Scott’s probably unbeatable Blade Runner. Those films leave the eyes and mind spellbound.

Ghost in the Shell, both versions, are like my first VCR: attractively produced but outdated.

Far more worthy of note is the 2004 anime sequel, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence.

That film is among the most stunning animated works I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching and is worth seeking out, even for non-fans of the genre.

This oddly plays less as a live-action anime and more of a mainstream, less mysterious redo of Johansson’s Under the Skin, another vehicle for the actress in which she plays an evolving human soul existing in an alien guise. Both films share creation sequences and peek-a-boo nude scenes of its star.

Johansson does what she can as Major and

The rebooted version of the boardgame Operation! looks cool though

looks great doing it but her performance and role are limited. Also, what the heck is Juliette Binoche doing in this? It appears the English Patient Oscar winner is making an awkward, ill-advised and belated attempt to embrace making Hollywood movies. Somebody please stop her before she pops up in RED 3 or some other nonsense.

Many have accused this production of “white washing,” as Caucasian performers have been insensitively added to an Asian story. The accusation is valid, though the choices made here are downright puzzling.

Johansson, one of the biggest movie stars on the planet and one of the few actresses who can open an action movie, has been cast as Major instead of a Japanese actress.

It makes sense as a commercial choice, but Johansson has been miscast, both as a robot

and an Asian. The overall approach to creating a mostly English-language, Japan-set thriller is murky. The great “Beat” Takeshi Kitano sports a bad haircut and, unlike his other co-stars, recites his dialogue in Japanese. Nearly everyone else speaks English, despite kanji written everywhere. The attempts to westernize this Japanese story are downright confusing.

Sanders’s film is much better than the live action Aeon Flux and so gorgeously produced (with vibrant CGI in every scene), the art direction alone justifies its existence. Still, while Ghost in the Shell starts strong and has well-staged, wham-bam action, it doesn’t leave much of an impression. Both impressively weird and intellectually lackluster, it delights the senses as you watch it, but your brain will hit DELETE on the drive home. ■

Maui Tacos was the first Fast Casual Mexican restaurant in the Islands, founded by famed Pacific Rim Chef, Mark Ellman. The first store opened in Napili Bay in 1993, fusing the bold flavors of Mexico with the exotic taste of Hawaii to create “Maui-Mex.” Everything is made fresh to order and served in a fun FastCasual Format with the spirit of Aloha.

CEO, Jeff Endervelt stated “We are excited by the opportunities afforded us having a 25 year history here in Hawaii and having served guests from around the World. This has given our Brand worldwide exposure and a global fanbase.” Investor interest has increased lately as Fast Casual restaurants continue to dominate the new restaurant landscape.

Brought on to franchise the concept; VP of Development, Alonzo Botta expects to begin opening new restaurants on the Mainland and across the World later this year.

The Company owns and operates 8 restaurants on Oahu, Maui and the Big Island. MAUI TACOS is now accepting franchise applications throughout the states and internationally.

Horoscope

Sign Language ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

You’re not really better than everyone else. You just feel that way, and I’m sure it can look that way to you through your own very subjective perspective. Also, it certainly doesn’t help that you are better (or at least more awake, inspired, and interesting) than most people, as much as anyone can be compared to another. But be aware that your superiority complex–or anything that even smells like one–will get your ass kicked this week. Be humble, my dear, proud Ram. Be sweet and overflowing with humility and self-effacement. It’ll get you so much farther than bragging ever could. And those who believe in you (like me) won’t forget for a second that you are the bomb.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

You know that thing about your greatest strength being your greatest curse (and vice versa)? This week’s lesson is all about that. What’s your chief talent? Versatility and adaptability. How is that bad?

When you’re so used to bending and warping to fit into whatever the situation (or relationship, especially) requires of you that you’re no longer sure who you really are, or what you really want. Isn’t that what’s happened? Get your head straight this week, Libra. And for a little while that means shutting down your incredible personal flexibility, until you’ve figured out what you’re really about again.

You like to define things. I get it. You like knowing exactly where you stand in any situation, without lots of ambiguity and guesswork. However, for now you’ve got to let that shit go. The current situation can’t be defined, at least not yet; trying will just destroy it. Lower your horns and charge into the unknown. Let this thing be everything and nothing and anything, without even wondering (at least aloud) which. Enjoy it for whatever it is. If you don’t decide ahead of time that it’s not, it might turn out to be exactly what you want and need–and then some.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Your playful obsession with your appearance has faded somewhat; you used to crave a lot more attention than you need now, and do nearly anything to get it. I’m glad you’ve evolved, but would you consider reverting to your old ways anyway, just for this week–for others’ sakes, if not your own? The world around us is degenerating alarmingly rapidly into a horde of label-flaunting, unthinking and unutterably dull clones. I’m sorry to be so cynical, but most people are sheep. They need someone to give them “permission” before they can express their modicum of personality and individuality. Won’t you–just by boldly being your unique self–give it to them?

Putting on a mask (or other disguise) is a kind of magic. Suddenly you’re able to act out parts of yourself that don’t often get to come out and play. One of the reasons I love Scorpios is your willingness to try on lots of different masks and explore many (often extreme) sides to your personality. A problem occurs, however, when one of the masks becomes too comfortable, and you end up spending more time wearing it than is probably strictly healthy. I know this is part of you, and how you do life, diving deep into the most intense places you can find. But you’re missing out on a lot of other shit while you’re going there.

Give it a break this week, Scorpio. Come up for air.

Goddamn, I despise cigarette smoke. I’m not sorry I’m so judgmental; when I see someone puffing away all I can think is: “Loser.” When someone whips out the cancer sticks–no matter how hot they are–it’s an instant turn-off. Everyone has their prejudices. I own mine proudly. What’s dangerous is when you’re not even aware of yours, or in denial about them. What kinds of (possibly unfair) judgments are you subjecting people to, Cancer? It’s okay to look at the world through a distorted lens–we all do, anyway. But if you’re going to look at your reality through thick, colored glasses, at least know what your prescription is.

I know it’s your competitiveness that drives you. But there have to be limits. You are amazing, and almost unstoppable–but there’s always going to be someone better. There’ll always be someone smarter, prettier, stronger, richer, more powerful, and so on. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t strive to be better. But run too hard at that brick wall and you may just knock yourself out of the race altogether. This week, give it a rest. There’s one thing, corny as it is, that you’re better at than anyone else: being yourself. Why not try just being the best you you can be, for a week? You can go back to trying to beat everyone else next week.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

How strong are you, Leo? I’m not talking about proving you can ring the bell with the sledgehammer at the carnival’s jokey strength test. This isn’t about impressing your lover. The most powerful forces arrayed against you all come from within. This is about overcoming your own efforts at self-sabotage, which at this point have become quite sophisticated and subtle–probably falling under the laziness or lack of discipline categories. You know that if you could just get your shit together consistently, you’d be even brighter and shinier than you are now. What’s stopping you? It’s not your circumstances, despite what you tell yourself. It’s you. When are you going to stop doing that?

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Screw that shit about keeping your enemies closer than your friends. It’s a good time to bring your friends in for some catch-up bonding, preferably far away from those who have it out for you. Focus especially on those long-lost friends you haven’t managed to see in years. Track them down. You need those people in your life. Start with Facebook-stalking, Google, hire a detective if you have to. Make time for this. It’s important. Rebuild fallen-down or burnt bridges this week; you’ll be thrilled and amazed at how many lands and spaces and loves they open to you.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Eagerness is almost always a good thing. But every once in a while restraint has its benefits. For example, if you’re too keen to bite into that fresh slice of pizza before it’s cooled, you won’t get to taste anything except burnt tongue for the next day or two. Wait a minute and the possibilities are endless. This situation’s a bit like that boiling hot mozzarella atop the slice of deliciousness in front of you. Show the tiniest bit of self-control and you’ll be rewarded. Too gungho, though, and you’re just going to get burned.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

SEAN MICHAEL HOWER

Sorry, Aquarius. I can’t write you a proper horoscope right now because I want to go lie in a hammock for a while, sip iced tea, and listen to music. You might find that a lot of other people don’t have time to take care of you this week, either, because they’re too busy taking care of their own comforts and needs. Don’t take it too personally, though. Use it as an excuse to grab some much-needed downtime of your own. No one will expect you to be on call while they’re relaxing. And if they do, screw that; they’re just fooling themselves.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

You’re a drama queen and at the same time you’re not. You’re not dramatic, say, in the way a slighted Cancer or aroused Aries would be. But you do seem to find ways to feel hurt over things no one else would even think about. This, I hope, is not news to you: you’re extremely sensitive! That sensitivity is a strength, mostly, but it can trip you up, especially when you’re dealing with one of the less insightful members of the zodiac (like an over-blunt Leo or a slip-tongued Virgo).

Try not to hold it against them when they hurt your feelings—without even knowing it, probably. You’ve got a point, but that doesn’t mean harping on it is a good idea. May I make a suggestion? Let it go, if you can.
