Coconut Wireless ANALYZING MAUI PD’S BODY-WORN CAMERA POLICIES Filing a request under Hawaii’s Uniform Information Practices Act (UIPA), MauiTime has obtained a copy of the Maui Police Department’s policy regarding its deployment of body-worn cameras (BWCs). While I was reporting our Nov. 29, 2017 cover story “What Happened To Accountability,” MPD public information officer Lt. Gregg Okamoto told me the policy was publicly available, but only through a written public records request.

The policy is eight pages long, and provides all the MPD’s rules for officers who wear the cameras.

“It is the policy of this Department that officers shall activate their BWCs when such use is appropriate in the proper performance of their official duties and the recordings are consistent with this policy and the law,” states the MPD policy. But it’s the very last line of the policy that’s so problematic: “Officers may review their video prior to providing a statement pursuant to an administrative inquiry/investigation.”

For analysis of the MPD’s policy, I sent it to Upturn, a Washington DC-based nonprofit that focuses on social justice and tech. The organization helped produce The Leadership Conference’s November 2017 Policy Scorecard on body-worn cameras (which I wrote about in our Nov. 29 story). That scorecard graded 75 police departments’ policies on eight accountability and social justice criteria: availability of the policy to the public, officer discretion, personal privacy, officer review, footage retention, footage misuse, footage access and biometric use.

Though Maui PD wasn’t included in the original analysis, Upturn policy analyst Miranda Bogen agreed to grade the MPD’s policy using the Scorecard.

She sent her thoughts in a Jan. 2 email: “Maui’s body worn camera policy fails on all but two areas of the Body Worn Camera Policy Scorecard, scoring green in only one out of eight categories (Officer Discretion, where it defines events that officers must record and requires officers to justify failures to record),” Bogen wrote.

“Maui’s policy doesn’t appear make any effort to ensure that body worn cameras provide transparency or accountability, instead explaining that the purpose of the cameras is only to ‘accurately record law enforcement actions and to capture evidence for investigations and court proceedings.’ Without specific and robust protections for civil rights, Maui’s body worn camera program risks doing nothing more than intensifying disproportionate police surveillance of communities.

“It is especially troubling that Maui’s policy allows officers to review their body camera footage before writing incident

reports and making statements–even after serious uses of force, including officer involved shootings,” Bogen continued.

“Such unrestricted footage review policies risk distorting evidence and undermining community trust, and we believe that departments should instead require what we call ‘clean reporting,’ where officers write initial reports prior to watching footage and then if needed, watch the relevant video and add additional details to their reports. We are also disappointed that the policy doesn’t offer any way for recorded individuals to access footage of themselves, especially if they are filing a police misconduct complaint. (The best performing departments in this area outline a dedicated process by which recorded individuals or their legal representatives can access relevant footage.)”

STATE ASSET FORFEITURE AUDIT DELAYED A new audit of the state’s civil asset forfeiture seizures that was supposed to be done last will maybe, hopefully be done this year, according to a sadly not surprising Jan. 2 Honolulu Civil Beat article.

“State Rep. Joy San Buenaventura has been waiting for nearly two years on an audit that she hopes will lead to reforming Hawaii’s civil asset forfeiture law, which allows police agencies to seize cash and property suspected to be tied to criminal activity,” Civil Beat reported.

“The audit was approved by the Legislature in 2016 and was supposed to be completed before the 2017 session so that lawmakers could pursue possible changes to a law that is considered by some to be one of the worst in the country due to the potential for abuse.”

Police agencies are supposed to use forfeiture funds for crime-fighting purposes, which is why the audit is so important.

For example, in April 2017, Maui Police Chief Tivoli Fa‘aumu told the Maui County Council that his department was using asset forfeiture funds to buy ice machines–a highly debatable method of

fighting crime.

Back in 2016, ACLU Hawaii strongly supported San Buenaventura’s bill.

“Hawaii’s current civil asset forfeiture law is based on the legal fiction that property can be ‘guilty,’ and allows law enforcement to profit from seized property where there has been no conviction for the underlying offense,” Mandy Finlay, ACLU Hawaii’s Advocacy Coordinator, testified back in February 2016. “As such, the government can seize (and profit from) property under current civil forfeiture law without any criminal conviction. Although this practice is often justified as a way to cripple large-scale criminal operations, it has been used to create revenue for law enforcement with little restriction or accountability. This practice harms property owners, who, due to inadequate state law, often cannot afford to challenge invalid forfeitures. It comes as no surprise that Hawaii’s civil asset forfeiture law is regarded among the worst in the nation, receiving a grade of D- by the Institute for Justice.”

Of course, practically every prosecuting attorney and police chief in Hawaii opposed the bill. “The Maui Police Department believes that the Hawaii law enforcement entities are not abusing the asset forfeiture laws and will continue to ensure that any property forfeited furthers the Interests of justice,” MPD Chief Fa‘aumu told the House Judiciary Committee in February 2016.

According to Civil Beat, state Auditor Les Kondo blamed staff turnover as well his relative newness in the office, though he said he anticipates the audit will come out this Legislative session.

MAYOR ARAKAWA STAFF CHANGES So we begin the last full year of Alan Arakawa’s third term as Mayor of Maui County. And given the recent chaos that’s plagued his inner circle of advisers and department heads, it’s likely going to be a fascinating year.

You can’t spend seven consecutive years as mayor without some staff turnover.

People spend a few years running a de-

partment, then move to the private sector, where compensation and mobility can be a lot better. But in November, Arakawa made a very curious move–he tried to sack Dave Taylor, Director of the county’s Water Department. Arakawa had first appointed him to the job way back in 2010, when Arakawa returned to the Mayor’s Office after a four-year absence.

Taylor’s an engineer, with more than two dozen years experience working for the County of Maui. What’s more, Arakawa’s reasoning for the firing was questionable, to say the least.

“During a Policy, Economic Development and Agriculture Committee meeting Monday, the mayor said Taylor lacked management abilities and had failed to complete certain projects,” The Maui News reported on Dec. 16, 2017.

“The two also differed on the mayor’s plans to purchase Wailuku Water Co. and East Maui Irrigation’s water diversion systems.”

So though Taylor worked for Arakawa for about seven years without any apparent complaint or trouble, late last year Arakawa suddenly realized Taylor was a bad manager who needed to go. This isn’t a good look for Arakawa, and the Maui County Council didn’t buy it. In fact, they unanimously refused to approve Arakawa’s firing of Taylor (the county charter requires such approval before the mayor can sack the Water Department head), which means Taylor’s still at work, despite the fact that his boss wants him gone.

“He’s not being accused of any wrongdoing, which the mayor also said,” Council Member Yuki Lei Sugimura said in the Dec. 16 Maui News story. “Because there’s only one year remaining before the end of the current administration, I think it’s critical to maintain consistency and keep leadership in place.”

Perhaps Lynn Araki-Regan, Arakawa’s new Chief of Staff, can sort it all out. A longtime assistant to Arakawa, as well as his 2014 reelection campaign manager, Araki-Regan took over as Chief of Staff in December, when now-former Chief Herman Andaya moved over to run the county’s Emergency Management Agency (former EMA administrator Anna Foust moved to Dayton back in June 2017).

Oh, and remember all that fuss last year around this time at the Office of Council Services (OCS)? When Council Chairman Mike White simply had to purge the OCS and install Arakawa’s Budget Director Sandy Baz as the new office head?

Well, in December Baz returned to the Mayor’s Office and resumed his duties as Budget Director.

So it goes. ■ editor@mauitime.com + @apignataro For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

The session will focus on how local companies can get get publicity from the news media.

“With all the hype about the Internet age, people forget that newspapers, magazines, radio and TV are still alive and waiting for interesting stories from our business community” states a Dec. 20 press release from MBB organizer Lori Fisher. “Startups and small businesses on the growth path should think more about using traditional news media to reach their audience.

ecosystems. The yellow tang is a prized fish in the aquarium trade, an industry that relies heavily on wild collection due to the complexities of raising saltwater fish, and is one of the top fish species exported from Hawaiian waters to aquariums around the world.

“For aquarium hobbyists, the ability to source captive-bred species is both responsible and sustainable,” said John Gorman, Head Curator at Maui Ocean Center. Gorman said sourcing captive-bred species could relieve pressure from local reef ecosystems and provide an alternative to collecting from the wild. “With advancements in aquaculture technology, we’re hopeful that certain species will no longer need to be collected from local waters,” he said.

More than 80 juvenile yellow tangs have successfully acclimated to Maui Ocean Center’s Aquarium Lab. Their presence will be utilized to educate the public about Hawaii’s yellow tangs and highlight how fish produced in aquaculture facilities can lead to a viable alternative to wild fish collection practices.

Kayian has written for MauiTime since 2013, but has more than two dozen years experience in journalism. “Kayian spent the first decade of her career writing music-business news for Pollstar, the leading trade publication for the live entertainment industry,” states the MBB press release.

“While at Pollstar, Kayian wrote feature stories about numerous recording artists including Faith Hill, Dave Matthews, Sublime, Usher, Tony Bennett, Jewel, and Sheryl Crow. Some of the high-profile stories that she covered include Pearl Jam vs Ticketmaster; and the Michael Jackson Sexual Abuse Trial.”

“Rock Your Business in 2018: BE the NEWS!” session will take place at the Maui County Business Resource Center (70 E. Ka‘ahumanu Ave., Kahului) on Tuesday, Jan. 9. It starts at noon and ends at 4pm.

The Maui Ocean Center has received the first generation of captive-bred yellow tangs to exhibit at the aquarium.

The fish come to the Ocean Center via scientists at Hawaii Pacific University’s Oceanic Institute, who in 2015 reached a milestone by becoming the first in the world to raise yellow tangs in captivity. The exhibition of the popular fish will help the Ocean Center raise awareness about yellow tangs and the developing role of aquaculture in aquarium keeping.

Yellow tangs from HPU’s Ocean Institute represent an advancement in marine aquaculture technology, as well as an economic and conservation opportunity for Hawaii’s reef

“Our long-term goal is to create an exhibit dedicated to captive-bred Hawaiian fish species,” said Gorman. “We’re working with other Hawaii facilities who are trying to ‘crack the code’ for other species. The University of Hawaii at Hilo’s Pacific Aquaculture & Coastal Resources Center is working on the endemic flame wrasse. With support, these organizations could enter fullscale production and make a positive impact on the aquarium industry, but more importantly, protect our local reef ecosystems.”

The juvenile yellow tangs will be raised

by Maui Ocean Center staff in the Aquarium Lab. Guests can see these fish and learn more during the Aquarium’s Behind-theScenes Tour.

Two American tourists, Joseph Dasilva, 38, and Travis Dasilva, 36, of San Diego, were arrested in Bangkok, Thailand, on Nov. 28 and detained in an immigration detention center after they posted a “buttselfie” on Instagram, taken in front of the Buddhist temple Wat Arun, or Temple of the Dawn. The pair’s Instagram account, traveling_butts, showcased their hindquarters at tourist sites around the world, but it was deleted shortly after the arrests. District police chief Jaruphat Thongkomol told Reuters that the two would also be fined for a similar photo at a different temple.

Attending to all your landscape needs

In Birmingham, England, renowned 53-year-old surgeon Simon Bramhall pleaded guilty on Dec. 13 to branding his initials onto human livers using an argon beam during transplant surgeries.

A colleague first noticed the initials “S.B.” in 2013 on an organ during a follow-up surgery, which sparked an investigation, the Guardian reported. Bramhall resigned in 2014 and acknowledged that marking his patients’ livers had been a mistake. But former patient Tracy Scriven of Dyrham, Wiltshire, told the Birmingham Mail that he should be reinstated. “Is it really that bad? I wouldn’t have cared if he did it to me. The man saved my life.”

INEPT SANTA MOVES Jesse Berube, 32, of Rocklin, California, tried using a favorite trick of Old St. Nick–but he got stuck in the chimney of a Citrus Heights business he was trying to rob on Dec. 13 and had to call police for help. ABC News reported that Sacramento firefighters responded and used special equipment to free Berube, who now faces one count of burglary. Citrus Heights police said Berube “does not have the same skills as the real deal.”

Lorette Taylor of Burlington, Ontario, Canada, responsible for meting out her family’s inheritance after her father’s death sent a bank draft last February to her brother, Louis Paul Hebert, for $846,648.46 via UPS. Hebert waited at his local UPS store for the check to arrive–but nothing came in. “I came back in the evening. Nothing shows up,” he told the CBC. UPS could trace the package only to its distribution center north of Toronto, so along with an apology for Hebert’s inconvenience, UPS refunded the $32 shipping fee. Taylor’s bank, TD Canada Trust, initially assured her the check would be canceled, but two days later refused to issue a new draft until Taylor signed an indemnity agreement making her and her heirs liable for life should the original check be cashed. Not only that, the bank then asked her to put up collateral against the new bank draft, but that request was later recalled. Finally, 10 months after the whole ordeal began, the bank released the money, and Hebert, at

press time in December, was making the 273mile drive to pick up the check in person.

AWESOME! An unnamed newborn boy underwent surgery at the Scientific Research Institute of Pediatrics in Baku, Azerbaijan, to remove a small remainder of a parasitic twin that had attached itself to the baby’s back: a penis. Gunduz Agayev, head of the institute’s neonatology department, reported to Metro News in December that the baby “has a normal sexual organ where it is supposed to be” and “the penis on the back... has been surgically removed.” The newborn was not traumatized by the surgery and is already at home with his parents, the doctor said.

CHANNELING MIKE TYSON British model Chloe Hammond, 27, also known as Chloe Rebelle, succumbed to a fit of road rage on March 19 when Julie Holloway, 56, tapped on her car window to ask her to stop using her phone while driving in traffic in London. Metro News reports that Hammond responded by parking her Audi TT and then “came out of nowhere” toward Holloway, kicking her in the stomach, grabbing Holloway’s hair and biting off a piece of her ear. Holloway, bloodied and disturbed, didn’t realize part of her ear was missing until someone “picked it up off the floor.”

In October, Hammond was convicted of causing grievous bodily harm with intent in Southwark Crown Court, and on Dec. 18, a judge sentenced her to five years in jail.

INEXPLICABLE Don’t you ever just want to get away? An unnamed man in Catherine Way, Batheaston, England, started digging a “very deep” hole in his yard weeks ago, but caused a neighborhood disruption when he climbed into the hole on Dec. 12 and refused to come out. Neighbor Dominic Denny told the Bath Chronicle that “it started at about 4am... when there was a lot of shouting and screaming coming from the house opposite me. The young man’s family was outside trying to get him back in the house.” Emergency responders from a variety of services converged on the scene, even bringing a crane to lower into the hole to retrieve the man. A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset police later reported that the incident was resolved and “the man got out of the hole of his own accord.”

SPECIAL DELIVERY! An employee at a TCBY yogurt shop in Matthews, North Carolina, got a surprise while opening three packages delivered to the store–filled with $220,000 worth of marijuana. Upon further investigation, the store told WSOC-TV, the packages had been delivered mistakenly and were meant for a PO Box at the postal store next door. While the origin of the packages is still unknown, the drugs and the recipient’s information have been turned over to police, who report that no arrests have been made. ■

h fool who doesn’t know how the merge lane works: I stopped before turning right into the merge lane. I gradually accelerated from that stop and signaled with my left blinker to indicate that I was going to exit the merge lane. But then you and your Cheeto-orange truck didn’t like the idea that I was properly using the merge lane to merge. So you purposely sped up behind my car, swerved into the left lane, then swerved right back in front of me, cutting me off and narrowly clipping my car. All of this, only to get stuck at the very next intersection’s red light. I guess you really needed to get home in time before The View started. ■

The Future is Sticky Green HOW THE MAUI CANNABIS

CONFERENCE BRIDGES EDUCATION

WITH ENTREPRENEURSHIP,

AND HOPE FOR A STRONGER ECONOMY

by Samantha Campos

A

dozen or so years ago, it was rumored that pakalolo-seeking tourists on Front Street were being sold bags of oregano. Meanwhile, locals knew how to get the stickiest bud–usually from a friend of a friend in Paia. Although Operation Green Harvest was winding down, the whir of any helicopter blades flying overhead would instill fear and secrecy in the island’s best weed purveyors.

I’ll admit it: I, too, drank the Prohibi-

tion Kool-Aid. I didn’t think pot was bad, I just didn’t necessarily think it did any good either. I thought marijuana was a pastime for hippies, a gateway to Cheetos for lazy people, a dopey supplement to the surfing lifestyle. When I left Maui in 2007, I swore I would never date a “stoner” again. Cut to 10 years later: I’m now living with a man whose family runs, arguably, the largest cannabis dispensary on the planet. Funny how life plays out like that.

In the past decade I’ve been exposed to the inner workings and evolution of a $7.7 billion industry, from the grassroots activism of small pot farmers in Northern California to gazillionaire ‘angel’ investors looking to get in on the game. I’ve met legions of exhausted cancer patients, fighting for their right to a plant that could help them; desperate parents risking everything to alleviate the suffering of their severely epileptic children; soul-searching ex-

ecutives, looking for a more meaningful career or purpose; body-wrecked athletes relying on cannabis to soothe old wounds and heighten performance; too many people of color incarcerated for simple cannabis possession; women rising up to lead an industry in which they are no longer the minority; researchers, doctors and nurses all working to uncover cannabis’s multitude of therapeutic benefits despite federal resistance. I’ve sat in countless city

council chambers, courtrooms, community town halls, political fundraisers, conferences, dispensaries, greenhouses and farms.

Eventually I realized how this one plant and the prohibition of it connects to so many facets of our society, many of which are broken systems, and yet cannabis has the potential to heal them all. With legalization and the end of prohibition comes the building of an industry that brings economic opportunity, taxes to fund education, medicine to heal people, reprioritization of law enforcement to focus on violent crimes, prison reform to release non-violent drug offenders, sustainable farming and building material, a community that is healthy and thriving. When it comes to cannabis what I’ve learned is that I’d rather be on the right side of history– the one that values compassion, science, sustainability, wellness and freedom.

How Now, Maui Wowie?

Mary Bailey is a young single mother in Haiku who works as a personal assistant and event producer. She likes people, and she loves Maui. She’s worked for a handful of nonprofits on the island, and for three years she managed the monthly community block party known as Makawao Third Friday.

She hosts the annual Maui Yoga Festival, and regularly brings electronic music producers to Maui through her event production company, Alpha Agency.

Through friends and family, she knew that cannabis is a natural solution for people suffering from opiate addiction and PTSD. She also knew that Hawaii had issued licenses for dispensaries, and that those dispensaries were holding some small-kine educational events, but she never seemed to hear about them.

The idea came to her about a year ago to launch the very first Maui Cannabis Conference (which runs Jan. 6-7).

“Maui’s a really forward-thinking place in general, and about all kinds of natural medicines and alternative therapies,” she said. “But we still don’t have a lot of education surrounding cannabis.”

She started telling friends about her idea. Those friends suggested other people–companies, industry leaders–and she reached out to them all, attending mainland conferences and summits teeming with potential speakers, sponsors and vendors. For her Maui event she booked the Hyatt Regency in Ka‘anapali to entice them. Then the obstacles came, sponsors began falling through, ticket sales were low, her savings was compromised. She stopped drinking alcohol to stay focused, working 60-hour weeks or more. “I don’t have time for hangovers,” she said.

In spite of the setbacks, Bailey powered on. She knew it was a worthy project regardless of how financially viable it was. She’s learned a lot. She’s racking up karma points. And she already feels like she’s educated people just by creating some conversation around cannabis.

“I didn’t realize, when I started this project, what my goal was exactly. I just knew I wanted to do it,” said Bailey. “I knew that somebody could do it, and I knew that I would do it the best. Then I realized one of my goals is to inspire Hawaiian residents to enter the legal cannabis business market.”

Money Changes Everything The global cannabis market is currently estimated to be worth $7.7 billion, and projected to reach $31.4 billion by 2021, compounding as more countries embrace legalization.

The U.S. cannabis market alone is forecasted to hit $24 billion by 2025, not including states that could adopt new cannabis laws before then. According to a 2016 Hawaii Dispensary Alliance report, Hawaii expects revenues up to $144 million in 2018, and provided the state successfully proceeds with a reciprocity system (which would allow Hawaii to recognize other states’ medical cannabis cards), could gain from visiting patients an additional $58 million in industry revenue.

“It’s important that Hawaii doesn’t wait too long to improve and make its medical cannabis program better, and then eventually, probably lead to adult use as well,” said Hawaii state Senator Will Espero, D–Ewa Beach. “I can see medical cannabis tourism and resorts one day being a niche market that Hawaii can do well in.”

Espero sees obvious benefits to the state– especially from the cultivation of hemp, and all of its derivative products. “Biofuel, construction material, clothing–wouldn’t it be great to have a line of aloha shirts made of hemp? Hawaiian hemp?” In early 2018 the state’s Department of Agriculture could begin giving out licenses to grow hemp via its pilot industrial hemp program, thanks to the 2014 Farm Act. “We’re talking economic opportunities, entrepreneurial opportunities, hundreds of millions of dollars for our state,” said Espero. “But we need to educate our lawmakers, educate our residents, and lobby and advocate.”

While Hawaii was the first state to pass medical cannabis via the legislature, it fell behind the curve on dispensation of that cannabis, taking 15 years to implement dispensaries. Now some lawmakers are eager to reap the fiscal bounty that adult-use legalization brings.

“Governing is not cheap,” said Sen. Espero. “Many people have needs and desires–one way is to look at cannabis as a revenue source. Not the medical side, but the adult side. I can see Hawaii having that discussion, and then hopefully we’ll move forward on it without waiting another 10 years, and losing all the revenues and other job opportunities that we could be having for our residents.”

Espero will also be introducing legislation that would allow the University of Hawaii to partner and collaborate with the Department of Health to allow Continued on page 12

Continued from page 11 patients to share data regarding their medical cannabis use. He and other colleagues are pushing to get reciprocity up and running as soon as possible. He wants to see edibles in 2020. And he’s also working on one day being able to allow patients to get insurance reimbursements.

“Obviously we hope to have the best cannabis program in the nation in five years, definitely by 10,” said Espero. “I believe that we’ll eventually go to a horizontal system from the vertical system we have now, so that more of our local people can get involved in this industry.

I want Hawai’i to be the leader in medical cannabis research one day as well.”

As Director of Community Relations and Patient Affairs for Maui Grown Therapies–Maui’s first dispensary that opened last year–Teri Gorman agreed.

“Hawaii has a long history of using plants for healing; there is every reason to believe that we could have one of the most successful medical cannabis programs in the nation within 10 years,” she said. “We hope to see the University of Hawaii’s John A. Burns School of Medicine become one of the leading American institutions to research the human endocannabinoid system and develop cannabis-based therapies for a vast range of conditions and symptoms. This type of leadership would naturally evolve into a new kind of medical tourism, incorporating integrative therapies unique to the Hawaiian Islands, that would replace disease management with natural strategies for enhancing health and wellness.”

A project has just begun at the University of Hawaii to help develop hemp seed for Hawaii’s hemp farmers and entrepreneurs. Doug Fine–an investigative journalist, bestselling author and goat herder–is an affiliated researcher with that project.

“I’m really optimistic about hemp’s possibilities in Hawaii,” said Fine. “One of the things that Hawaii really has going for it is three planting seasons, which allows for a lot of development and a lot of production in one growing year.”

From working in Hawaii for several years, Fine said the islands’ farmers understand the value of hemp as a soil builder, and as a generative and lucrative crop. He’s now in the early stages of trying to coordinate a project that aims to increase the number of hemp farmerentrepreneurs significantly over the next few years.

“One thing I’m going to try and bring [to the conference] is some realworld, in-the-ground experience of what it’s like to try and plant hemp and to market a farm-to-table product,” said Fine. “Because I think many if not most of Hawaii’s coming hemp farmers and entrepreneurs are going to be independent farmers and independent entrepreneurs. It’s no joke to launch an industry and to launch a project.”

Kihei resident Steve Rose formed the Maui Hemp Institute for Research &

Development to set the groundwork for the hemp coming to the island and also to interface with small farmers. The institute runs educational programs about hemp, hosting several events around the island and serving as a conduit for the state’s legislators.

“We’re starting to get noticed–2018 is our big coming out year,” said Rose. “We’ll finally get some seed in the ground next year, and then we can start talking about really growing hemp on Maui.”

An herbalist for over 35 years, Rose has been studying the cannabinoids (the chemical compounds in cannabis that provide various therapeutic benefits) and endocannabinoid system–or the biological system comprised of cannabinoid receptors, found throughout the body. Rose believes hemp medicine is the big game changer, and that just eating hemp foods–which are high in Omega 3, 6 and 9–can dramatically improve health.

“We’re gonna do the cannabis conference to remind people that hemp is part of the cannabis family,” said Rose. “It’s the least-talked about here in the islands but eventually hemp will overshadow both medical and recreational marijuana, as far as the market share, in the next five-ten years. The first benefits are going to be for windbreaks and soil remediation–hemp pulls up all the heavy metals and breaks up the soil.”

He and his team of “hempsters” have models in place for hemp growing that would not only protect ground crops from wind, but would also enrich the soil for farmland. But until legislation and subsequent programs move into place, he waits. Like most of us, Rose wants cannabis to be legal at all levels as soon as possible, and to “just end this silly game and waste of money that we’ve done for almost 100 years now.

“My hope is that people wake up to what hemp’s about, what cannabis is about, and put the pressure on their legislators to make sure we get all the laws passed,” said Rose. “And then by 2020 we can just make the island green with hemp.” ■ editor@mauitime.com + @apignataro For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

Oysters And Beer

PHOTO COURTESY PIXABAY

SHUCKING HAOLES AND KOHOLA BREWING NG CO. IS A WINNING COMBINATION

B

eer and oysters come together on Saturday, Jan. 6. That’s when Kohola Brewing in Lahaina and Shucking Haoles will put on what they are calling the “first of many” oyster and beer pairings.

It all starts with Randy Button, who was born and raised in Kihei. His parents owned a seafood wholesale business, importing fresh shellfish and other seafoods from the mainland. Delicacies like oysters are some of the main products that can’t always be obtained here on Maui. Because oysters need extremely cold water to thrive, some of the best in the world are found off the eastern and western coasts of North America.

After Button finished college in Washington, he returned to Maui and started Shucking Haoles, essentially a mobile oyster party that he takes to private weddings and events.

“In Washington, everywhere you go there are craft breweries and raw oyster bars,” said Button. “I think it has to do with the hands-on approach of crafting beer and farming/crafting oysters. It’s the same kind of genre of people that are doing it.”

Button got the idea to host a public event and approached the team at Kohola Brewing, who’ve been doing different food and beer pairings at their brewery for roughly six months.

“We always pair up with local business to support local, build the hype and spread that Maui love around,” said Mark Fisher, the brand ambassador for Kohola Brewing. “And beer and oysters are a tale as old as time. It’s such a classic pairing, the two were made for each other.”

The ticket price of $25 gets you four oysters and four beers. The beers, supplied

by Kohola, will be the Lilikoi Saison, Pineapple Pilsner, Shaka Island Session Ale and a fourth surprise beer. Additional oysters and beer will be available for purchase at

the event as well, and the brewery will provide live acoustic music by Garrett Probst.

Oysters can be traditionally cooked in three ways. You can eat them raw, freshly shucked from the water and served in a half shell. Or you can shuck them and place on a grill with butter and/or hot sauce. Or you can take them from the shell and cook them in a pan. This Saturday’s event will feature raw oysters. That means sauces (also called “mignonettes”) will be very important.

Mignonettes are sauces that are paired with oysters to “help amplify the flavours,” said Button. “We’re pairing these oysters with housemade mignonettes that will best compliment the beer that we’ve chosen.”

Button, who is also a private chef, created all his own recipes and housemade mignonettes, which includes a habanero papaya and lilikoi hot sauce.

“Everyone is really into these farm-totable restaurants concepts these days,” said Button. “I just thought, a fisherman is a farmer, too. What about all these seafood guys? It’s a lot of grunt work shellfish farming, and I wanted to shed some light on that community when it comes to seafood.” ■ jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso For more foodie news, visit: mauitime.com/food-drink

But after a few years of this, Hatch thought of leaving the business. He moved away and went to community college and then Penn State, graduating with an MBA. After working in Atlantic City, and being out of the pizza business for five years, he then returned to Jersey to help his brother-in-law.

“Long story short, I went back to the original pizzeria I worked at as a kid, and we re-opened it in 1991,” Hatch said. It was around this time that he met his business partner, Anthony Serpico. The two later took over the lease on a burned-out

Winning Hand Everything’s great in Aaron Sorkin’s new ‘Molly’s Game’ ★★★★★ Rated R / 140 Min.

T

SERVING THE BEST ESPRESSO IN THE MILKY WAY (SINCE 2010)

PHOTO COURTESY IMDB

he thought of sitting through the first film ever directed (as well as written) by Aaron Sorkin was not high on my list of priorities. While Sorkin is the author of A Few Good Men, The Social Network and The West Wing, to name a few, he also penned Danny Boyle’s hit and miss Steve Jobs and can, on occasion, craft dialogue that’s overly showy and improbably wordy. Sorkin’s work can be exceptionally smart but sometimes sounds like smarty-pants, Thesaurus-enhanced prose. I walked into his 140-minute Molly’s Game expecting a dry, wordy poker movie. Sometimes, it’s nice to be wrong.

Jessica Chastain stars as Molly Bloom, the former Olympic ski hopeful whose career takes an altogether surprising turn in a different direction. While hired as a secretary to a shady businessman, Bloom manages a high stakes poker game with famous clientele. After learning the ropes, she breaks away from her employer and manages the poker games herself, creating a controlled environment that caters to the ego, fantasies and needs of the men who play in her games. Once the operation goes sour, Bloom seeks the help of a reluctant lawyer (played by Idris Elba). The case building against Bloom not only addresses the legalities of her gambling den but also the presence of Russian mobsters.

Sorkin’s directorial debut positively crackles and not just on the dialogue level. His work behind the camera is playful and positively antsy. The editing

I don't know what Molly's actual game is, but it sure looks fun.

in this film is incredible, starting from the tour de force opening sequence and into the ongoing juxtaposition of Bloom’s seeking legal representation and flashbacks of how she built her poker empire. Sorkin demonstrates an energetic, propulsive visual storytelling that is reminiscent of David Fincher or Oliver Stone at their most caffeinated As an adaptation of Bloom’s book, Sorkin explores how a woman can successfully control her destiny, maintain her dignity and still struggle in a work environment dominated by men. While Bloom creates an atmosphere that suggests sex and glamour, she gradually realizes how her business is exploiting every facet of her.

Chastain took on a similar role in last year’s Miss Sloane, playing an icy, nononsense lobbyist whose career-first drive

F O L L O W US!

led her to overlook some crucial character and ethical flaws. Miss Sloane provided Chastain with a powerful role but the film stumbled. Here, Bloom is another prickly, intimidating character but Chastain infuses her with humanity and lived-in grit. In a brief but already remarkable film career full of impressive highlights, Chastain’s work here is incredible. If she’s somehow able to find more strong roles like this and stay away from nonsense like The Huntsman: Winter’s War, her film career could go on for decades.

Elba has been wonderful in practically everything he’s appeared in and it’s a joy to see him dig into such a fine role here.

His scenes with Chastain have real snap but he matches her in finding the tender heart of his intelligent, compassionate character. There are also juicy supporting

turns for Chris O’Dowd, Michael Cera and Kevin Costner (who delivers his finest work in some time).

While Molly’s Game is a long film, I have no idea how Sorkin could have shortened it and wouldn’t want to see anything trimmed anyway. Once we get to the courtroom, I feared the film would start to drag. But in yet another surprise, this sequence is brief and features a nice supporting bit for Graham Greene as a judge.

Molly’s Game is a collection of great performances, a prime example of how to tell a rich, eventful story and a showcase for a first time director. At the very least, it surpasses Rounders as a new poker picture classic, rivaling even The Sting. It’s that entertaining, as well as funny and involving enough to entice audiences who have no clue what beats a straight flush. ■

Horoscope

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

Cancers may be frequently inflexible sticks-in-the-mud, but you Capricorns are 50 percent more intractable.

There’s nothing wrong with finding someone or something you like and sticking to it–as long as it works out.

But what happens when whatever you’ve become attached or accustomed to simply isn’t available (like this week, for example)? Usually, you just hunker down and wait out the drought. May I suggest a better strategy?

Seek out new potential habits. Usually, you’d have to sacrifice a known pleasure just to make space to experiment. This week, though, it’s risk-free, since you’re already missing out on your favorite routines; you might as well spend that time developing new and better ones.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

As if the last couple weeks, with all that holiday business, weren’t stressful enough, now you’ll be hit with a whole new flavor of stress, and it’ll be one you’d rather didn’t exist, like pistachio-melon or bubble-gum walnut. Unfortunately, there’s no easy out here, so it’s grin-chew-swallow-grin all the way. It will get better, as long as you don’t spit it back in the faces of the idiots feeding it to you. It’s not like you’re about to acquire a taste for this brand of misery; you’re simply apt to get better at handling it. The quicker you can choke it down, the quicker you can get to dessert–which will actually taste all the more fantastic for what you had to get through to get to it.

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

Things simply can’t always be good. You think you want everything to run smoothly and for everyone to be happy. But remember the times when that seemed to be the case in the past? You still found reasons to be dissatisfied. Perhaps you even sabotaged the situation–probably subconsciously, but nevertheless, it was you who mostly screwed it up. You need variety, and that means shittier times to contrast with the better ones. This week is liable to be at least slighter crappier than you’d supposedly like, but just remember: it’s not here to make you feel bad, but rather good–about all the many weeks that are better.

Everyone’s exploring new ways to commit to each other.

Old-school marriages don’t often work, because they involve an awful lot of lying, deceit, and self-deception.

These days, we all want to have our cake and eat it, too.

We want honesty and openness, but that involves acknowledging that our actual desires rarely fit neatly into perfect, box-shaped relationships, at least not for more than a few years. Sometimes really being each other’s perfect partners means being sexually open, or sharing intimacy with more than one other person, or otherwise stretching our preprogrammed ideas about what love and commitment really mean. Yours are badly in need of a stretch; they can’t even touch their own toes anymore.

This week, work on that, even if it hurts a little.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Screw your self-destructive urges. Whenever you feel down, you’re inclined towards crap that’ll just make life worse. “Why the hell not?” you figure, and it’s all on: smoking, heroin, living in squalor, unsafe sex or unhealthy overindulgence in chocolate cake. I get it, but I heartily disagree. Since your life’s already shit, why not do all the crap you ought to do, but just don’t want to?

Deep clean your apartment. Go the gym. Eat healthfully. Give it a try. I suspect you’ll drag your ass getting into it, but be skipping and smiling coming out.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

The brilliance of Alfonso Cuarón’s 2006 film, Children of Men, which is set in the future, is that his version of the year 2027 is eminently recognizable as something very much like today, only more extreme, somehow. It’s frightening to consider the future we’re setting ourselves up for, and to imagine how today’s problems will only multiply and compound themselves as time goes on.

Your difficulties are something like those facing humanity and our society: they’re actually easier to solve today than they ever will be again. Not that they’re easy now, but ignoring them won’t erase them. The longer you wait, the more complex and difficult to fix they’ll become.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

To a young child, magic appears possible simply because they’re not quite sure how reality works. A friend of mine imagined that he could somehow grow up to be Wonder Woman. That seemed perfectly viable to him. Gradually, as we grow up, adults teach us the concept of impossibility, roping off what’s available to us, bit by bit. Eventually we call this limited perspective “being realistic.” That’s lameass crap. Realism is for losers. Everyone who’s ever done something amazing did it despite the fact that people told them it was “impossible.” This week, keep that in mind before you rope off every dream you (and those you love) ever had.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

You’ve been known to overdose on forgiveness, and I usually counsel you to cool it before you start doling out sixth and seventh chances. But this week, I rescind that general advice. Go hog wild, Mother Teresa.

Extend forgiveness to anyone who honestly asks for it, whether it’s their second, fifth, or twenty-third chance.

You’re allowed to be cynical, of course, and believe that you’ll probably get burned again. In fact, acknowledging that likelihood makes your act of compassion all the more beautiful. It also gives that one person who’s really ready to try something new a chance to actually do it, with your blessing making all the difference. Could you really withhold that? I sure hope not.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

You’re such a generous comfort to the people around you. How many times have you talked people down from high jumping places, or dragged someone up from the dumpster behind your building? You’re a natural diplomat, comforter, and shoulder to cry on. When, however, was the last time you allowed yourself to be rescued or otherwise reassured? You shouldn’t go out of your way this week to require consolation or rescue–but if you do happen to need someone to tell you that everything’s going to be alright, please, please ask for it, won’t you?

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

I can usually trust a Scorpio to be relatively unmotivated by money. You might have a lot of other ulterior motives, but pure profit is usually pretty far down your priority list.

You can be trusted to ignore capital gain if it interferes with your principles or other desires. That’s why your actions of late have confused me, because they seem, at least on the surface, to be motivated by something akin to monetary gain, at the expense of much more valuable ideals. Is there something more to your recent actions?

Or was it a momentary lapse in judgment? This week, fix whatever’s wrong: our perceptions, or your actions.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Cold weather’s a lot more pleasurable with someone to share it with. Instead of viewing it as a harsh time that limits your options, consider it a chance to indulge in pleasures unavailable to you at other times of the year; cuddling under a quilt with someone sweet and a cup of cocoa would be a drag at the height of summer, but it’s ace now. Try it. In fact, try anything and everything that might transform the present moment from simply bearable to brilliant. If you don’t learn this knack, you’ll be just as unhappy come summer, because it’s too damn hot and you miss wearing your favorite sweater.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

I need help letting go, Sag. I’ve come to you because you’re as close to an expert on the subject as we’ve got. Surely, you’ve got some amazing tricks up your sleeve in this department. We’re hopeless. Even when we know release is the only choice, sometimes we just keep hanging on. What should we do when desire overwhelms rationality? How do you let go when you really don’t want to? This week, you’re the teacher, imparting this crucial skill to those of us in need of it. What’s your secret? Clue us in, won’t you?
