The bill would have exempted livestock from humane treatment rules

DOES YUKI LEI SUGIMURA HATE ANIMALS? – A POORLY WRITTEN BILL IGNITES SOCIAL MEDIA AND CAUSES ‘A WHOLE LOT OF DRAMA’

Sugimura claimed she received language for the bill from cattlemen

it was simply myself and my enforcement director clarifying how the law reads and how we enforce the law,” Maui Humane Society CEO Jerleen Bryant told me.

cover to handle the number of animals that would be seeking the shade.” Whether a natural shelter is “suitable” depends on the number of animals using that shelter, weather conditions in the area, and the quality of the plant itself, she explained.

“That particular case,” Bryant added, referring to the 2014 violation that sparked the MCA’s requests for clarification and a County Code amendment, “that person had one tree and that tree had died. There were no leaves on that tree and so therefore that tree did not give any sort of shelter or shade to the animals.”

“We’ve had very amicable meetings with [the MCA],” she continued. “That’s why I was very surprised when this came out. Nobody had asked for our input or anything, and I think that was a bad move because it just created a lot of drama that was unnecessary.”

After an hour of public testimony and days put through the social media outrage machine, Sugimura expressed regret for

PHOTO COURTESY MAUITIME

Councilmember Yuki Lei Sugimura ignited a social media firestorm last week when she introduced a bill to amend the County Code section relating to animal control. The proposed bill, which did not pass the Housing, Human Concerns, and Transportation Committee, aimed to define “livestock” as animals raised in an agricultural setting for the production of commodities, then exempt all “livestock” from the entire set of rules in Chapter 6.04 of the County Code. These rules include the basic requirement that animal owners treat animals in a “humane manner,” defined as the provision of food, water, shelter, veterinary care, space, and a clean environment.

Animal welfare groups reacted swiftly.

Maui Animal Solutions, a local animal rights advocacy group, sent out a call to action that labeled the bill “a nightmare for Maui’s animals” and urged concerned individuals to testify – which they did. A flood of testimony was submitted before the Monday, Nov. 19 HHT Committee meeting amid swirling social media criticism of Councilmember Sugimura, including accusations that the recently re-elected councilwoman is an “animal hater” and in the pocket of “big-ag.,” an industry expected to expand in the old sugarcane fields and which could see increased profit margins through relaxed regulations on animal care. “Put her out to pasture,” one person suggested in one of the nicer comments.

“The proposed legislation was not intended to do what social media post [sic] are saying,” Sugimura responded online. “It was a request from the Maui Cattleman’s [sic] Association for CATTLE only, not ALL LIVESTOCK. This proposed

legislation needs to be AMENDED AND DISCUSSED before any legislation can be decided.”

Yet, as written and submitted by Sugimura, the bill exceeded this intent by exempting “livestock,” defined as “domesticated animals raised in an agricultural setting to produce commodities such as meat, milk, leather, and wool.” Such a category would include chickens, goats, pigs, and sheep.

As such, the Maui Cattlemen’s Association, who Sugimura said requested the bill, distanced themselves from the proposal. William Jacintho, the association’s president, asked that the “bill be deferred and discussed further with all affiliated parties” in his testimony to the committee.

“A few years ago, a rancher approached the Maui Cattlemen’s Association regarding a violation letter,” Jacintho said in an attempt to give background for their intentions. The violation was for non-compliance with the “humane manner” treatment requirement, specifically citing a lack of sufficient shelter and adequate bedding. “Natural shade is not suitable shelter under this code,” the 2014 violation letter from the Maui Humane Society read.

Seeking clarification of “suitable shelter,”

the MCA went to Councilmember Don Guzman, who then facilitated multiple meetings between MCA and MHS. Guzman drafted new language, but was reassigned to chair a different committee before the legislation could move forward. Sugimura crafted her controversial bill without knowledge of Guzman’s meetings. “And here we are today realizing that this is not acceptable,” Jacintho said.

“Too bad I didn’t talk to you about this before,” Sugimura said to Guzman during the committee meeting after Guzman spoke about his work crafting clarifying language for MCA and MHS. Jacintho suggested a more subtle amendment that would be acceptable to the cattlemen: Add “natural habitat” (such as trees) as sufficient protection for animals, and clarify that bedding is only needed under barn and dog house conditions.

“The meetings I had [with the Maui Cattlemen’s Association representatives] were not about coming to a compromise,

Last week we talked about the council’s deliberations during its last weeks in office.

We asked readers if think the council is trying to push decisions through before new councilmembers take office. 87% of you voted “Yes, these items should wait.”

This week we ask: What do you think the cattle industry’s influence over Councilmember Yuki Lei Sugimura?

introducing the bill, which she explained was crafted over email with language from the cattle industry. “I apologize for putting it in because I grew up with animals and pets, and we even had a cow when I grew up, but it wasn’t my intent to be so negligent,” she concluded.

“I think everybody understood it was a poor attempt at getting what they wanted,” Bryant said. “It was a bad bill because it would have literally stripped protection away from a lot of animals.”

While the bill was effectively killed, MCA and MHS expect the issue of suitable shelters and clarifying language to persist until resolved by further legislation, especially as livestock operations expand and Hawai‘i moves towards increasing local food production. ■ editor@mauitime.com + @axelbeers

GEORGE KAHUMOKU JR. RELEASES TWO DISCS WITH KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN Uncle George Kahumoku, Jr. is releasing a long awaited instructional DVD as part of a new Kickstarter campaign – one of two new projects fans can pre-order to support the Grammy Award-winning slack key guitar master.

The first project available through the Kickstarter campaign is a new CD collection called Reminiscing: An Anthology of Favorites. The collection comes mostly from Kahumoku’s early recordings. It also contains two unreleased bonus tracks: “Unchained Melody” with Uncle George singing in Hawaiian with his 12-string slack key guitar, accompanied by Daniel Ho on ‘ukulele; and “Lokomaika‘i” (“Amazing Grace”), in which Uncle George sings and plays guitar while accompanied by Grammy-winning protege Daniel Ho on piano.

Four songs on the CD are popular originals and six are traditional Hawaiian. The performances are mostly duets including songs with Kahumoku’s son, Keoki, his brother, Moses, the great Norton Buffalo, and Ho. The disc also includes the song “Muliwai,” a treasured recording of George’s father.

The second project is Kahumoku’s longawaited Slack Key ‘Ukulele instructional DVD. The DVD is perfect for beginners and intermediate players alike and is a great introduction to this unique and easy-to-play ‘ukulele tuning, according to the campaign. The DVD features more than

WEST MAUI COMMUNITY PLAN VISIONING WORKSHOP The public has been invited to participate in a visioning workshop for the West Maui Community Plan, which will guide future growth and is the first of Maui’s six regional community plans to be updated since the adoption of the Maui Island Plan in 2012.

During the workshop, the County Department of Planning will help the community determine its wants and needs. Attendees will be guided through a process of exploring what it wants more of, wants less of, wants to preserve, and

what its values are. The department will then use the information gathered to collaborate with the community on a vision statement for the plan.

Creating a vision statement is an important step in the process of updating a community plan, county spokesperson Rod Antone said. A vision statement reflects the community’s values and priorities for future growth, development, and preservation. It also serves as a guide to help identify goals, policies, and actions in the community plan, which describes what the community wants to achieve in 20 years.

The existing West Maui Community Plan was adopted in 1996. The update process has and will continue to involve numerous community meetings and workshops, according to the County Department of Planning. The review process formally begins with the Community Plan Advisory Committee, which will review a draft updated plan and offer recommendations.

The Maui Planning Commission will then review the draft updated plan, and the Maui County Council will review and adopt the updated plan.

The visioning workshop is scheduled from 5:30-8pm on Wednesday, Dec. 5, at the West Maui Senior Center, 788 Pauoa St., Lahaina.The public can also learn about visioning and provide input online at Wearemaui.org.

Residents are encouraged to sign up via the website to receive email updates.

The first project to go through the county’s Fast Track for Affordable Housing process launched November 20 in Kahului when Catholic Charities Housing Development Corporation broke ground on the Kahului Lani senior affordable rental housing development. Kahului Lani, developed in partnership with GSF, LLC., will provide low-income seniors with an affordable permanent living option offering complementary amenities, where residents can “age in place.”

“Increasing Maui’s affordable housing inventory is a top priority for the county right now,” said Mayor Alan Arakawa.

“This is especially true for our seniors, who deserve the choice to age in place and live long, active, happy, and healthy lives.

I’d like to thank CCHDC and the state for teaming up with the county to produce this greatly needed, truly affordable senior housing in Kahului.”

The 165-unit senior affordable rental complex will be built in two phases at the site bordered by Kane, Vevau, and School streets. The first phase of Kahului Lani will include a six-story building with 82 units. The second phase will feature 83 units and a two-story multi-purpose building, which will include offices for Catholic Charities Hawai‘i to provide on-site case management services and programs for residents.

Earlier this year, Maui County’s Department of Housing & Human Concerns announced the Kahului Lani housing project was moving forward thanks to the utilization of a new fasttrack permitting process.

A “Workforce Housing Certificate” was issued for the project and is the result of a directive earlier this year

by Mayor Arakawa, who instructed all departments give priority to processing permits for affordable housing projects.

The mayor’s directive yielded the certificate, along with all permit plans that ensure permits are processed first and remain a priority until granted.

“As Hawai‘i’s population continues to age, it is more important than ever to provide our seniors with affordable rental options,” said CCHDC President Rick Stack. “Catholic Charities Housing Development Corporation is proud to play a role in filling this critical need for our kupuna.”

Once completed, seniors ages 55 and older who earn 60 percent or less of the county median income will be eligible to apply as potential tenants.

Kahului Lani is expected to be completed in 2020.

70 minutes of split-screen instruction.

Kahumoku is enticing his fans to fund these projects with a wide variety of rewards; Kickstarter supporters will be the first to receive the two discs as soon as they are available in early December.

Uncle George is also rewarding supporters with VIP reserved “Patron of the Arts” front row seats to a future slack key show, George’s original artwork, special CD sets, coffee gift bags, and more. The top reward, for a $3000 pledge, is a private concert anywhere in Hawai‘i along with a physical and digital copy of the new album.

As of press time, the campaign has raised $18,656 of its $30,000 goal. The projects will be funded only if the goal is reached by December 3.

To support the campaign, visit Kickstarter.com/projects/georgekahumokujr/reminiscing-hawaiian-slackkey-guitar. The Kahumoku ‘ohana points out that these projects will be available just in time for holiday gifting.

Another birthday staring you down?

Perhaps you can follow the lead of a man in the Netherlands who has launched a legal battle in the town of Arnhem to change his age from 69 to 49. “(Y)ou can change your name and change your gender,” Emile Ratelband noted. “Why can’t I decide my own age?” The Dutch positivity trainer told BBC News that he feels discriminated against both in the career realm and on Tinder. “When I am on Tinder and it says I’m 69, I don’t get an answer,” Ratelband said. “When I’m 49, with the face I have, I will be in a luxurious position.” He also describes himself as a “young god.” The arbiters of his case aren’t so sure, though: One judge wanted to know what would become of the 20 years that would be erased by such a change. “Who were your parents looking after then? Who was that little boy?” he wondered.

THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT Roxy Sykes, 33, of London, had a brainstorm that started when someone complimented her on her beautiful feet. “I was convinced to set up a social media account to show them off,” she told Metro News on Nov. 1. But that was just the ground floor for the pedo-preneur. “It wasn’t until I started getting thousands of followers and messages about selling used items that I realized I could profit from it,” she said. In her busiest month, she grossed more than 8,000 pounds peddling socks, shoes, and videos to foot fetishists. “Pairs of shoes that I would wear for two months would sell for 200 pounds, and a pair of socks that I wore for a day would sell for 20 pounds. Then a single video of me just wiggling my toes would make 100 pounds, so I was really raking in a lot of money,” she continued.

Overall, she says she’s pulling down about 100,000 pounds a year. Sykes has also mentored fellow fetish models: “It’s great to be able to help others and teach people my apparent ‘talent,’” she said.

NEW WORLD ORDER Coming soon from the state-run news agency Xinhua in China: the first artificial intelligence anchorman. “Artificial Intelligence Anchor” debuted at the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, China, on Nov. 7. The virtual host, based on images of human news broadcasters, can have real-time news typed into its system even while it’s on air. A synthesized voice reads the script. Xinhua told Time that its new anchor can work “24 hours a day... reducing news production costs and improving efficiency.” But does it have a personal catchphrase, such as “Good night, and good news?”

WEIRD SCIENCE Duuuude! Scientists at the Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey have

created a mushroom that can produce electricity using light, Discover magazine reports. Using common button mushrooms, cyanobacteria (very adept at photosynthesis) and graphene nanoribbons (to make electrodes to transport the electricity), researchers were able to produce harvestable electricity by shining a light on their “bionic mushroom.” While the amount of electricity created was small, the team noted the experiment demonstrated an “environment-friendly and green source of photosynthetic bioelectricity.”

WAIT, WHAT? On Nov. 12, a group of cyclists in Hustopece, Moravia, Czech Republic, enjoyed a sunny afternoon of riding to a local landmark known as Lookout Tower, reported United Press International. Taking in the view from the top of the tower, they saw a drone flying around and took video of it, capturing the moment when the drone picked up one of their bicycles from the ground and flew away with it. One of the cyclists threw his helmet at the drone as it flew off, and the others ran down the tower’s steps to chase the drone on foot.

Happily, the drone dropped the bike a few hundred feet from the tower.

CRIKEY! A Jackson County sheriff’s deputy in Kansas City, Missouri, serving an eviction notice on Nov. 7, was startled to discover Katfish, a 7-foot-long, 200-pound alligator that tenant Sean Casey kept as a pet (along with three pythons, a rabbit, and several cats). Casey told KSHB-TV that he’s had Katfish for four years. “He’s a big cuddly gator,” Casey said. “He wags his tail when I come home.” The gator could lounge in the home’s bathtub, and “get up and get out and cruise through the house,” said Dana Savorelli with Monkey Island Rescue, who officers called to help wrangle the alligator. “He had a ramp.” Unfortunately, alligators are prohibited in Kansas City, so Katfish was relocated to Monkey Island in nearby Greenwood, Missouri. And although Casey said Katfish was “not a vicious animal like some people make them out to be,” he was ticketed for possessing an exotic animal within city limits.

CRIME REPORT In North College Hill, Ohio, on Nov. 6, Noel Hines’ criminal love for Thin Mints finally caught up with her when she was arrested for stealing “a large order of Girl Scout cookies” last March, Fox News reported. North College Hill police said Hines took delivery of the cookies, valued at more than $1,600 and intended for a local Girl Scout troop, and never returned or paid for them. When Hines showed up at the town’s Mayors Court on an unrelated matter, police arrested her, then posted on Facebook, “That’s the way the cookie crumbles.” ■

MAUI COUNTY SAYS NO

ack in May 2016, a small, dedicated group witnessed a momentous event in Maui County Council chambers: A unanimous vote to restrict the use of polystyrene foam food service wares. The ordinance was years in the making, and marks the second time Maui would take the lead in regulating the proliferation of a single-item plastic commodity. Back in 2010, Maui was the first county in Hawai‘i to legislate a ban on plastic bags, an initiative that led to the passage of similar bills throughout the rest of the state.

Now, after a 19-month phase-in period, the county’s Division of Environmental Protection & Sustainability is embarking on a Foam Free Maui County campaign to educate restaurateurs, retailers, and the general public on the transition from throwaway polystyrene products to reusable or compostable alternatives.

“We can live without it,” proclaims the county informational webpage. A frequently-asked-questions section answers when the bill takes effect (Dec. 31, 2018), what kind of containers are banned or excluded, what the penalties are for non-compliance, and more. Links indicate that banning polystyrene protects wildlife, reduces plastic waste, and helps combat climate change. Photos illustrate a sea turtle and seabirds ingesting polystyrene and its calabash cousin, Styrofoam.

Much of what is compiled online is the work of recycling specialist Cecile Powell, collaborating with EP&S manager Tamara Farnsworth. They also contracted the services of Geoff Moore and Silver Moon Graphics for the attractive informational poster, fact sheet, and bumper stickers.

“Part of our educational campaign involved calling affected businesses and distributors. It is encouraging to learn how

10 NOVEMBER 29, 2018

many businesses are already on board with the ban and have already began using alternative products,” Farnsworth said happily.

“There were zero times where I needed to explain why the ban is good for our environment. People already know.”

“We’ve had super positive feedback,” she added. “We are seeing lots of Foam Free bumper stickers, even on cars and trucks we don’t recognize.”

“Sheik’s is on board,” noted Powell, referring to the iconic Kahului diner on South Wakea Avenue. “Takamiya Market found alternatives for their trays and bentos,” she said about the Wailuku grocery known as the “Little giant of Happy Valley.”

In fact, many purveyors of food service items provided non-polystyrene alternatives even before the bill passed, often at costs within pennies or equivalent to foam products.

“We do not anticipate any significant adverse affect on businesses due to the implementation of this legislation,” Farnsworth stated. “Taking care of our waste and the ‘aina is everyone’s kuleana. Legislation like this helps to enhance our ability to do better for the environment.”

As 2018 winds to a conclusion, it’s now time for all purveyors, retailers and food servers to ditch the foam and switch to reusable or compostable substitutes. But, it’s also important to recall just how we got to this point.

HOW WE GOT HERE On the heels of the bill passed by Maui County Council in August 2008 to restrict plastic bag usage, one council member set his sight on the next goal. In autumn of 2009, then-councilmember (now Mayorelect) Mike Victorino introduced a draft bill to regulate the use and sale of polystyrene food wares. His measure did not, however, maintain the momentum of the plastic bag

ban, which had yet to be signed into law.

(Mayor Charmaine Tavares did so a year later, in August 2010. The implementation of the law took effect on Jan. 11, 2011).

Undaunted, Victorino re-introduced the measure in 2014, and it was referred to Elle Cochran’s Infrastructure and Environmental Protection Committee. At the initial IEM meeting to consider the bill in July 2014, Victorino volunteered to convene a task force of stakeholders to conduct an indepth review of the bill’s purpose, scope, impacts, and exemptions.

The task force was comprised of business advocates, county officials, environmental advocates, food providers, and both manufacturers and distributors of disposable food service wares. It would meet four times in August and September 2014, ultimately issuing a report to the IEM Committee in November.

The task force split right down the middle into two groups: those supporting and those rejecting restriction of polystyrene foam products.

“The task force does not have a consensus on whether enacting the bill is a good strategy for mitigating the impacts of plastic litter,” the report states. It goes on to list the assertions of both those opposed to, and in support of the bill.

The business factions opposed to the bill argued that polystyrene is approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration, the measure could impose financial hardships on businesses, passage would merely create another kind of litter (since compostable containers are not currently allowed at composting facilities), and that a law is not needed since industry trends showed food-service providers were already transition to alternatives. The six Maui business representatives on the task force provided a list of recommendations.

Six other, environmental, task force members issued their own set of recommendations. They urged following the lead of about 100 other municipalities in addressing disposable food service wares, clarified which products would be covered, and suggested providing time for food providers and retailers to switch. They refuted that costs of alternatives were a burden, stated that eliminating polystyrene would improve our environment and quality of life, and cited supporting language in the Maui Island Plan.

“We don’t aim just to ban things, but it can’t be just voluntary,” offered task force member Lauren Blickley, then-conservation coordinator with Pacific Whale Foundation. “Our throwaway society has caught up with us, which is why we need bans on single-use plastics.”

The task force report did not, however, elaborate on the arrival of an out-of state participant who appeared unexpectedly at the third meeting.

That particular meeting was convened at Zippy’s restaurant, for the purpose of testing the performance of alternative products on favorites like chicken katsu with gravy and 180-degree hot saimin. The tall, bespectacled man not seen at the first two meetings identified himself as Tom Knox of California, a paid lobbyist of the American Chemistry Council, the advocacy arm of the plastics industry.

Knox stepped to the chalkboard when the third meeting re-convened in a classroom at Iao Intermediate School and began obfuscating the real issues at hand. It’s really only 20 or so towns in California that have done bans, he stated (it is more than 70). No one really composts anymore, he claimed (compost of food waste and compostable food service items is a growing trend, especially on the West Coast). The cost of substitute

finally sent the draft bill on to full council, recommending passage. At its Dec. 16, 2016 meeting, the Maui County Council offered new amendments to the bill, but passed it on first reading. They stipulated, however, that a special meeting would be convened before second reading, with a panel of scientists and experts to address unresolved issues.

In May 2017, University of California Santa Barbara professors Dr. Hillary Young and Dr. Douglas McCauley shared info from studies of expanded polystyrene, seabirds, and ocean health. Marine biologists and marine debris specialists Cheryl King of Maui and Megan Lamson of Hawai‘i County presented data on beach cleanups and microplastics. Two other presenters shared studies on potential human health risks of styrene, a component of polystyrene classified as a suspected carcinogen (though Councilmember Yuki Lei Sugimura later moved to delete that phrase from the actual bill).

A week later, after more testimony, tinkering, and debate, the council unanimously agreed to pass the bill, and set a phase-in date of Nov. 18, 2018.

“While the legislative process was long and arduous, in hindsight I am grateful for the opportunity to have learned from experts in the field, exactly how critical this environmental protection will be for our ‘aina, and how little an impact it will be for local businesses,” said Councilmember Elle Cochran, adding, “I remain ever-grateful to the community stakeholders that came to the frontlines to help me educate the members and rebut the propaganda and rhetoric being spread aggressively by lobbyists representing corporate interests. I couldn’t have done it without them.”

WHAT’S NEXT? With the growing understanding of impacts and drawbacks of single-use plastics, many municipalities are setting their sights upon new goals. Last July, Manhattan Beach, California became the first U.S. city to ban plastic straws and utensils. Seattle passed a similar ordinance a month later. The Manhattan Beach City Council has taken additional steps, outlawing polystyrene foam egg cartons and foam packing peanuts.

In October, the European Union lawmakers moved to ban 10 single-use plastic products with readily available alternatives, to take effect by 2021.

be launching a “BYO!” campaign in 2019, once the Foam Free initiative is fully in place. “Stay tuned for details,” she said with a smile.

Earlier this year, Losano applied for a county recycling grant to establish a West Maui regional compost operation capable of processing food scraps and compostable food service wares into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. It would mark a first in Maui County.

As part of the grant, she completed Maui Economic Opportunity’s “Core Four,” classes to write a successful business plan.

She has been contacting hotels, restaurants, groceries, schools, and landscapers to understand the resource stream availability.

She and her partner are continuing the search for a suitable site. With the closest commercial compost sites in Central Maui, a location in West Maui is a dire need.

“I promised the council there would be a place to compost alternative food service items, and we are going to do it,” Losano proclaimed. “We are committed to overcoming the permitting hurdles.”

Thus, Maui’s polystyrene ban may have long-ranging impacts beyond just the disappearance of foam cups, plates, and bentos. Indeed, Hawai‘i County passed their own ordinance just months after Maui led the way, to be implemented in July 2019.

Last year’s state legislature came close to passing SB 2498 to limit EPS foam products. Despite more than 600 pieces of supporting testimony, it languished after being referred to Finance Committee, and didn’t receive a final hearing.

Whether 2019 will be the year the measure passes at the state level remains to be seen. But the launching of the Foam Free Maui County campaign will surely give rise to additional forward-thinking measures to reduce litter and protect our environment.

And polystyrene? Perhaps it will be soon forgotten, except as an example of how we are able to learn from our own unsustainable societal missteps.

As the Foam Free website reminds us, “We can live without it.”

products is three to five times that of polystyrene, he opined (a statement repeated by the business faction of the task force, even though alternatives are available at equivalent or negligible cost).

“It was eye-opening to understand what and who we are up against when we propose these restrictive measures,” said Gretchen Losano, then a representative of World Centric compostable products and a board member of Styrophobia. “It’s good to remind people that it is the weight of the entire petrochemical industry that opposes these sorts of bills. They spread so much misinformation in order to perpetuate their use of plastics.”

Despite the industry’s lobbying, “this was a great victory of the ‘little’ person over corporate interference,” remarked Marge Bonar, task force member and the impetus in getting the County Council to take on the plastic bag issue years earlier.

“We are among the growing number of places which have recognized that the future has been jeopardized by our irresponsible devotion to the cheap, convenient, and disposable. I am thankful to the County Council for their unanimous approval.”

That approval, however, would take another two-and-a-half years. The inconclusive task force report sparked new rounds of debate over issues raised, but not agreed-upon.

Throughout 2015-2016, Councilmember Cochran championed the effort to move the bill forward. It went through at least three substantial revisions, to broaden the purpose of the bill to include potential threats to human health, and to tighten up definitions and language so it would be legally sound.

Along the way the draft ordinance found more supporters, notably several students who produced videos through their affiliation with Maui Huliau Foundation. One was a hilarious skit that included discovery of a “Don’t Take Our Plate Lunch” flyer that had cropped up across the islands… a propaganda effort funded by the American Chemistry Council.

A dream sequence in the video shows a plastics industry boardroom discussion of a growing “problem in Hawai‘i,” with a member being abruptly fired for suggesting they consider providing compostable containers to address a growing market. Even with the comedic approach, it was clear the students had learned the facts of why polystyrene products needed to be curtailed.

In November 2015, the IEM Committee

Can Maui continue to be a leader in addressing greater education and restrictions of these fossil fuel-based, non-recyclable products, increasingly found during roadside and beach cleanups? “To have everyone using reusable dishes, washable eating utensils, and only truly compostable take out products is my dream,” said Bonar.

To that vision, Councilmember Cochran has drafted a new ordinance, “Restricting the Use and Sale of Single-Use Disposable Plastic Foodware.” The measure sets its sights on plastic straws, utensils, stir sticks, cocktail picks, lids, and other products, while aiming to provide compostable alternatives. Her council term is set to expire before the bill could come forward for consideration, but the measure may be picked up by incoming councilmembers in January 2019.

Campbell Farrell is executive director of Love the Sea, working to spread awareness of the detrimental effects of plastic in our world, especially the ocean environment.

Recently in New Zealand supporting the Eat Less Plastic voyage’s arrival, he spoke with the Minister of Climate Change, James Shaw.

“Minister Shaw encouraged very much to keep raising awareness and bring credible data to government officials so they could more effectively lobby for change,” Farrell said. “He loved that we are helping to unite Pacific Island nations people to stand together for a plastic free environment.”

Americans use an estimated 50-billion plastic water bottles annually, with the vast majority – more than 70 percent – discarded rather than recycled. And it doesn’t help that the bottle and cap are made from two different types of plastic, complicating the ability to recycle them. Local recyclers have faced challenges anew over the past year, with more stringent guidelines for contamination and drops in commodity prices. However, they are still collecting #1 and #2 plastics (polyethylene/PET and high-density polyethylene/HDPE).

San Francisco outlawed sale of plastic water bottles 21 ounces or less back in 2014.

“We never went to the store when we were kids and walked out with a case of bottled water,” Losano recalled. “We’ve got to get back to that place where we take responsibility for what we purchase and consume.”

“The polystyrene ban breaks the ice for us to commit to sustainability on a much broader scale,” she stated.

n recent years, Maui has been upping its game in terms of evening events to bring the community together. From the array of Friday town parties to the Sunday Market and beyond, Maui residents have been showing up at family-friendly events en masse.

Next week, there will be another opportunity to experience delicious food, entertainment, and festivities at a community-centered event. For the first time, the Maui Street Market will set up shop on the University of Hawai‘i Maui College campus. On December 6, which also happens to be the last day of classes at the school, an evening of food trucks, vendors, and entertainment is planned for the whole community to enjoy. The event will run from 5-9pm.

“Lui Hokoana, chancellor of UH Maui, asked me to bring the Maui Sunday Market to his campus, something that he dreamed of doing for the past four years,” said Luana Mahi, president of Maui Food Technology Center. For over a decade, the Maui Food Technology Center, a nonprofit, has been providing opportunities for aspiring Maui entrepreneurs focused on local agriculture and food production.

Throughout the year, they organize events like the Maui Sunday Market, conduct workshops, and provide consultations.

UHMC, with its rolling green lawns and rainbow of plumeria trees under

a sweeping view of Mauna Kahalawai, offers a great location for a market. At next week’s Thursday evening event, there will be the “same vendors and food trucks that you would find at the Maui Sunday Market,” said Mahi.

“Same concept, same organizers, same atmosphere, [and] vibe, with additional vendors made up of various departments and programs from the UH Maui Campus.” The Maui Sunday

Market, which runs every Sunday evening in Kahului, has the festive and charming feel of an outdoor open-air community marketplace.

Festivities will include food, music, vendors selling local products, and information tables about UH Maui College.

Maui’s favorite food trucks will be on the grounds serving up everything from saimin to pizza to barbeque and shrimp. Live entertainment will be provided, including the Institute of Hawaiian Music, which trains and mentors aspiring musicians.

Along with the food and live music, attendees will also get an opportunity to do some early Christmas shopping from vendors selling local products from honey to earrings and beyond. For those interested in attending UHMC, there will be staff and faculty ready to share information about UHMC’s student services.

Mahi, who is organizing the event along with the Maui Sunday Market’s event coordinator Kaui Kahaialii, said that there is potential for the event to be ongoing.

“We will be testing it out on December 6, to see if this is something that can be done on their campus regularly,” she said.

The Maui Street Market is presented by the Maui Food Technology Center and is sponsored by the UH Maui College. Public admission and parking is free. To become a vendor, sponsor, and/or for event information, visit MauiSundayMarket.com, email info@mauisundaymarket.com, or call 888-948-MFTC (6382). ■

Keala Kennelly ended up winning the title, saying afterward, “That was probably the most challenging conditions I’ve ever surfed out here.

This week, as the waves and winds built and the surfers geared up, there were two contests running simultaneously as Maui played host to the pros. At Peahi, the famed surf-spot that produces cathedral-sized waves, cars lined Hana Highway as spectators tromped down to the cliffs to watch worldclass surfers at the Peahi Challenge.

In the distant Pacific, typhoons and storms generate masses of ocean energy that send swells pumping toward the the island, hitting the shoreline from Ha‘iku to Paukukalo and wrapping around Mauna Kahalawai to Honolua. This week, Maui was hit with its first major winter swell, with

Later in the day, the men took over, but the contest organizers called off the contest for the rest of the day citing safety concerns, causing some controversy. During a webcast, Maui resident Billy Kemper said, “It is gnarly, it is dangerous, but this is what we live and train for. We’re going for the Big Wave World Title, right? You want the biggest, nutsest waves in the world?

This is it.” They picked up the contest again the next day, and though the waves had dropped slightly, the wind had not, causing an airshow of epic proportions in rowdy conditions that had the crowd gasping and groaning. Kemper ended up winning the contest, his third time doing so, solidifying his status as a top big-wave surfer in the world and master of Peahi.

'Creed II' The ‘Rocky’ series still has fight left ★★★★★

Rated PG-13 / 130 Min.

T

PHOTO COURTESY IMDB

he first line in Creed II is “You got this.” It’s uttered to Adonis Creed (played by Michael B. Jordan) by his girlfriend, Bianca (played

by Tessa Thompson), before a boxing match and the statement pretty much sums up the movie: overly familiar but confident.

While Creed is enjoying his sudden fame and a newly formed family, an old, personal foe begins to hound him: Ivan Drago (played by Dolph Lundgren), the disgraced Russian boxer who murdered Creed’s father in the ring back in 1985.

Viktor, Drago’s son (played by an imposing Florian Munteanu), is a fierce opponent, hoping to exact his father’s revenge and destroy the tortured reputation of their last name. Luckily, Creed has Bianca’s unbreakable will (Thompson is, once again, luminous in the role) and the fatherly mentorship of Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), who is rattled by the return of his Cold War-era enemy.

Although this has been deemed Creed II, a better title would have been “Creed Vs. Drago,” or, let’s just be honest, “Rocky VIII.” The latter is nothing to be ashamed of, as this franchise is still finding new life and excitement. Yes, there’s no longer any surprise to how the big match turns out, though it’s not the only sequence here that cribs from the past.

There’s a training montage set in a fierce location, in which Creed must battle the elements (Rocky IV). We’re introduced to the colorful promoter of Creed’s opponent, who has a Don

A better title would have been ‘Rocky VIII’

King-like manner (Rocky V). Creed goes through life changes and gets domestic (Rocky II), while Balboa still speaks to his deceased wife in the cemetery (Rocky VI-VII). A big match gets a Vegas-worthy opener and has a shockingly violent outcome (Rocky IV), our hero is warned not to fight a big, bad Russian (Rocky IV, again), and old catch phrases like “Go for it” (Rocky V) and “Yo!” (Rocky I-VIII) are dusted off.

It’s saying something that the story still draws dramatic power from the lingering absence of Carl Weathers’ Apollo Creed.

Yet, the lack of writer and director Ryan Coogler, who helmed the prior film, haunts this far more. Against all odds, the 2015 Creed was an outstanding, dramatically urgent Rocky follow-up that also stands as one of the best boxing movies ever made. While a hard act to follow, newcomer director Steve Caple Jr. and screenwriter Stallone, in the midst of

busily stirring the formula, find worthy angles to explore.

A huge asset is Lundgren, whose return to the character of Drago isn’t ham-fisted.

Never lauded before for his acting abilities, Lundgren makes Drago somehow scarier and more real than before. He’s excellent, and so is Jordan, who has more to work with this time. While the prior installment was really a vehicle for Stallone to add even more pathos and layers to his signature character, Sly takes a step back and allows Jordan to drive the story.

Of course, as the screenwriter, Stallone makes sure the characters are always discussing Balboa when he isn’t on screen.

An opportunity is missed in not fully addressing post-USSR politics and how they affect Drago and his kin. Nevertheless, the scenes of Ivan and his son training in the Ukraine are compelling.

So are the surprise cameo appearances from prior installments. If Creed was a

stand-alone film for newcomers and the faithful, Creed II is a proper follow up but more attuned to the Rocky saga and the expectations of sequels. Too much of the first act is connect the dots, this-happened-so-this-must-happen-next screenwriting. Only in the second act does the film regain its footing and allow the characters time to breathe and develop.

Aside from the stylish, thrilling climactic match, there’s no sense of the dynamic filmmaking that marked the previous film. If Creed was patient in its storytelling and poetic in its filmmaking, then Creed II is Sequel 101. Yet, the formula still works. The best scenes in Creed II are rich in emotion and enough to rouse audiences to the edge of their seats. These films, even the more downbeat episodes, are about celebrating personal reinvention and overcoming the obstacles before us. The Rocky series remains a feel-great movie experience. ■

by Caeriel Crestin

Horoscope

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

It might sound weird, but words and ideas have more power than almost any other tool you can wield. Changing the way someone thinks (and, therefore, acts) is an incredible way to transform your world. You know all this already, and you’re probably prepared to brandish your thought-weapons any second. This week, however, is all about timing. For your words to have the greatest and best impact, you have to choose the moment when your target is the most receptive. That might mean biting your tongue for a while, until that moment comes. Wait for it.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

Imagine that what you want is lying at the bottom of a lake. If you dive in and maniacally swim to the middle of the lake and just plunge right in, you’ll never be able to reach the bottom without drowning; you’ll be too crazed and breathless to get that deep. You need to be thoughtful and patient in your approach. Ironically, in order to reach your goal, you may need to sit and quietly float for a while, doing absolutely nothing. Luckily, you have the virtues of foresight and patience in spades. All you need do is exercise them.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

As much as you’d like to shed your skin and become something totally different, you suck at it.

Even if you succeed at putting on another outfit for a day or a week, your true shape would show right through it if anyone looks at you for more than a few moments. Like the other fixed signs (Taurus, Scorpio, and Leo), you have trouble camouflaging your true self. As with all strengths, this is also sometimes a weakness. That might never feel more true than it does this week. Even while feeling frustrated that you can’t hide who you are, for even a second, at least take comfort that you (and the people around you) know exactly who that is.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

While your Aquarian neighbors have trouble hiding who they are, you fish sometimes have trouble just remembering or figuring out who you are (today).

This can be very confounding, of course, not just for you, but for anyone who knows you, as it can feel like they’re having to get to know a completely different person every time you meet. I understand everyone’s frustration, but chances are this isn’t likely to change much. While core facets of your personality will remain constant, much of you is in continuous flow. Instead of trying to hide that, flaunt it. Then you’ll have more of a chance of attracting people that excite, rather than frustrate.

whole bunch of shit after the dust has settled, however, is rarely a good idea.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Just because you’re right doesn’t mean you need to be vindictive. Even if everyone thought you were wrong, until now, you should be gracious and forgiving rather than peppering the conversation with snappish “I told you so” comments. You have the moral high ground here, finally, and what you do with it can set a precedent for the times when you’re not quite so lucky. I suggest never mentioning it again, except to dismiss people’s concerns and apologies as unnecessary. Rubbing it in might feel good for a second, but you’d regret it for ages.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Just because you’re ready to work something out doesn’t mean everyone else has to be. I understand how powerful your emotions are, and that when you feel compelled to process and move through a complex situation, it can feel urgent and undeniable. However, forcing that on someone else is wrong, especially when they tell you in no uncertain terms that they’re not ready or willing to go there. Don’t make someone else miserable ought of selfish regard for only your own feelings. Move on if you must, but find your own path – don’t drag along an unwilling companion.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Of the fixed signs, you’re the most changeable, because of your tendency to dramatically reinvent yourself. Although I admire your ability to transform, because it’s not generally an evolutionary process, you don’t get to audition aspects of the “new you” much before they’re unveiled to the world. Some might not work. Sometimes, especially for you, the only way to make a big change is to do it all at once, without looking back. However, I believe you could manifest a chance for a test run before you go all in. When you were a kid, summer camp was a great place to try to be the someone you wanted to become.

Maybe there’s someplace like that for you now?

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

A perfectly toasted marshmallow should be golden and crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside.

To achieve this, you need to slowly and patiently rotate it over smoldering coals, nowhere near actual flames. Most people rush the job and end up with a scorched blackened mess that burns their tongues and tastes like charcoal. What does this have to do with your situation? You have the power to make this turn out exactly the way you want it to, but it will require extreme amounts of patience – try to accelerate things for even a second and the whole thing will blow up in your face.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Usually, you have no trouble making decisions (and in fact are sometimes prone to making them too quickly), but this week may present a crossroads that’s stickier and more complicated than most.

Whether it’s a surprise pregnancy, an unintended affair, or a job opportunity that will separate you from your lover, there is no perfect outcome. Every choice you make will involve sacrifice, pain, and disappointment. That makes choosing one of them tougher than you’re used to. Take some time with this one – but not too much time (don’t let circumstance decide for you). Eventually you’ll know the right thing to do (for you).

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Sometimes confessing to something you’ve done is really about fixing the situation and making amends.

Much of the time, however, the urge to do so is more about expiating your own guilt rather than rectifying the situation. Have a good hard think about your own motivations to drag skeletons out of the closet or dig up old dirt. Will that really make things better for anyone other than you, and is it worth the potential heartache involved? I’m all for clearing the air – while the storm is already raging. Stirring up a

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Sometimes all you can do is suck it up and get through it. There’s not much you can do to improve or avoid the situation. It is what it is, and you’ve done what you can; now it’s time to quit your bitching, slap a grin onto your face, and make the best of it. Once you decide to just try to have fun with it – and there is fun to be had there, believe it or not – you’ll realize it’s not as bad as you thought it would be (caveat: it may still be awful, just less awful than you expected).

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Your “solutions” often seem to involve taking things to greater extremes. Frequently, just having one more drink, fight, or screw will actually simply make things worse, not get you over the hump. This obstacle may, in fact, be more or less insurmountable, at least right now, so trying to get over it your way will just dig you a deeper hole next to it. You might be able to climb this mountain tomorrow, or next month, but for now I’d just chill out. No point in making things harder on yourself – scaling this thing with a hangover wouldn’t be much fun.

Marshmallow (Cat #40) is a one of a kind snuggle bug that’s been through quite a lot as you can see. He’s a laid back and loving 8 year old that was surrendered to us in need of surgery, all the way back in September. Now that the growth on his eye has been removed, Marshmallow has a bit of a different gaze these days (which is due to be Äxed very soon). If you are looking for special friend that will completely shower you with a ton of cuddles and kisses, then Marshmallow is deÄnitely the one you should meet today!
