Op-Ed: Leave Policy Measures to the Next Council and Mayor

PHOTO COURTESY LANCE D. COLLINS

The lame-duck council should protect democratic norms and refrain from rushing legislation

Attorney Lance D. Collins

O

n Maui, we have an extraordinary situation where six new council members and the mayor will be taking office in less than a month. Even the current mayor, term-limited, was resoundingly defeated for his bid to return to the council. For this reason, the outgoing council should commit to refraining from voting on any substantive policy measures for the remaining three weeks of their term – leaving those decisions to the next council and mayor

who have a new mandate to decide those policy choices.

Harvard government professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have argued in How Democracies Die that since the end of the Cold War, most democracies have failed not because of generals and military coups but by elected governments, citing examples such as Venezuela, Hungary, the Philippines, Russia, and Turkey.

A classic coup d’etat like Pinochet’s Chile or Suharto’s Indonesia is immediately seen by all. The constitution is suspended and the democratically elected president is exiled or murdered. But under this new subversion of democracy, there are no tanks in the streets.

Authoritarian efforts to subvert democracy are incremental and are “legal” in the sense that they are approved by a legislature or accepted by the courts.

Levitsky and Ziblatt argue that two norms have preserved America’s checks and balances: mutual toleration and institutional forbearance. That is, politicians

accept one another as legitimate rivals and exercise restraint in deploying institutional prerogatives. They argue that these norms have protected American democracy for most of the 20th century.

Unfortunately, we have seen recently a trend in both American and Maui politics where some politicians denigrate their critics and political rivals and where one political faction has used their temporary control of institutions for maximum factional advantage.

Across the country, partisan gerrymandering has skewed the composition of legislatures so that they purposefully represent a partisan minority and do not reflect any majority. One such legislature in Wisconsin is now seeking to limit the powers of the incoming governor because he isn’t part of the legislative majority’s political party – all in the twilight of its lame-duck session.

The period of time between the election and the seating of the new council was designed to allow the election canvassers sufficient time to certify the results of the election and to allow courts to resolve with finality any challenge to those results so that no election dispute could mar the legitimacy of a new council. It was not intended as a period to rush through major policy decisions on the way out of office.

As technology allowed election results to be determined more quickly, even the US Constitution was updated by the 20th Amendment to advance the seating of the new Congress from March to January and to limit lame duck sessions. The current Maui County Council should leave a legacy of protecting democratic norms by accepting that a different council has been given a fresh mandate and refrain from rushing through substantive policy changes in the remaining weeks of their term.

The choice is the future of our democracy. We all must insist on mutual toleration of our political opponents. Our current council must also exercise restraint in its institutional prerogative or accept a role in history as the harbinger of eroding democratic norms in Maui County.

With development and proposed projects springing up around the county, this data raises important questions: Are all parties invited to the table and represented in planning? And are we doing our best to ensure that access to the opportunities created by these projects is available for all?

ACS data is viewable at Census.hawaii.gov.

MAYOR-ELECT MIKE VICTORINO ANNOUNCES LEADERSHIP SELECTIONS

US Census: Median income in West Central Wailuku has dropped

A TALE OF TWO MAUIS: NEWLY RELEASED CENSUS DATA REVEALS GROWING INEQUALITY Median household income in Hawai‘i is rising along with income inequality between areas, newly released census data shows. The data, compiled by the Hawai‘i Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism using information from the US Census American Community Survey, reveals that the median household income for the highest earning census tract on Maui has increased by $5,195 while the median household income in Maui’s lowest earning census tract has decreased by $4,038.

In other words, the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer.

The data also shows that the disparity between the highest and lowest earning neighborhoods has increased. In 20082012, the difference between the census tract with the highest median household income and the tract with the lowest was $54,297. During 2013-2017, that number grew to $63,530.

Hawai‘i DBEDT released the numbers as part of its analysis of the results of the American Community Survey conducted by the US Census. ACS datasets are released annually by the department, with a compilation of data occurring every five years.

The latest dataset, released last week, reports data from 2013-2017.

The data also looks at civilian unemployment rates, a percentage that has decreased statewide between the 2008-2012 and 2013-2017 periods, from 6.7 to 4.9 percent. On Maui, however, the census tract with the highest unemployment rate has increased in unemployment from 14.6 percent to 16.6 percent. In the 2013-2017 period, this census tract was West Central Wailuku, an area spanning from Mokuhau Road to Main Street and covering Happy Valley, Vineyard Street, and part of Wailuku Town. This area also had the

lowest median household income for both 2008-2012 and 2013-2017 datasets.

While these figures come with a margin of error, the numbers point to a disturbing trend of growing income inequality between areas on Maui. This could amount to noticable inequality between neighborhoods, accelerating the growth of poverty and the accompanying issues of crime and addiction in poorer areas, while wealthier areas increase their access to opportunities.

In the book The Spirit Level, authors and epidemiologists Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett warn against income inequality and argue that greater equality leads to better societies. “As we looked at the data [for The Spirit Level],” they wrote in the Guardian, “it became clear that, as well as health and violence, almost all the problems that are more common at the bottom of the social ladder are more common in more unequal societies – including mental illness, drug addiction, obesity, loss of community life, imprisonment, unequal opportunities and poorer wellbeing for children.”

Also troubling is their finding that income inequality influences the way that we relate to one another. “It invokes feelings of superiority and inferiority, dominance and subordination – which affect the way we relate to and treat each other,” they wrote.

The fear expressed by many during election season that a Victorino Administration would become the Arakawa Administration version 4.0 is being slowly realized, starting with Mayor-elect Mike Victorino’s announcement of appointees to key leadership positions within his administration. On Monday, Victorino named the following selections: • Sandy Baz, director of Department of Management • David Goode, director of Department of Public Works • John D. Kim, prosecuting attorney • Michele McLean, director of Department of Planning • Michael Miyamoto, director of Department of Environmental Management • Jeff Pearson, director of Department of Water Supply • Karla Peters, director of Department of Parks and Recreation • Marci Sato, director of Department of Finance • William Spence, director of Department of Housing and Human Concerns • Marc Takamori, director of Department of Transportation • Deidre Tegarden, chief of staff • Patrick Wong, corporation counsel Sandy Baz, David Goode, John D. Kim, Michele McLean, William Spence, and Pat Wong also served in leadership positions within the Arakawa Administration. This is a sign of business as usual, with one significant difference when Victorino officially files these appointments: The Maui County Council will have a say in their approval.

Following a 2016 County Charter amendment, the council will be able to

COCONUT POLL: 100% - Yes, it's unnecessary

0% - No, they're unreasonable

Last week we talked about the thirdparty audit of the Maui County Liquor Control Department. We asked readers on Facebook and Mauitime.com if they think the department acts in an overly punitive and retaliatory way. 100% of you voted “Yes, it’s unnecessary.”

This week we ask: Do you think income inequality is a problem on Maui?

vote to approve or deny the appointments.

For the new ‘Ohana Coalition majority in the council, which has voiced opposition to the “good ol’ boy” network that has run Maui County politics for decades, appointment confirmations will likely be some of the first significant agenda items that will determine the functioning, tone, and style of the county’s administration. Stay tuned.

DEPARTMENT OF LIQUOR CONTROL AUDIT:

BY THE NUMBERS It’s been a couple of weeks since the third-party audit of the Maui County Department of Liquor Control was released, and at 104 pages long, it’s a keg of a report. While there’s yet to be a moment of reckoning or serious response from the department, commission, or political leadership, what’s clear is that this is a department that has gone over-served on power for too long, without the firm guidance of a friend to take it home when its drunkenness turns to belligerence.

Don’t believe it’s that bad? Here are 10 figures from the audit to paint the picture.

20 years: The number of years the LC has operated without a comprehensive review of the rules, resulting in outdated rules such as the prohibition of beer flights and obscene language in songs.

72 percent: The percentage of violations in fiscal year 2017-18 for minor violations such as dancing with a drink in hand.

One third: The ratio of the enforcement division’s time spent on minor violations.

45 percent: The percentage of major items required for liquor license applicants that are not required, or are required in less detail, by at least two of three other counties in the state.

15.8 percent: The department’s turnover rate, double the average of all county departments.

26.7 percent: The vacancy rate of staff over the last two fiscal years.

270.5: The amount of overtime hours accrued by LC Director Glenn Mukai’s secretary.

3: The number of employees that are children of the director or a former director.

2: The amount of evaluations of the LC Director conducted by the LC Commission from 2014-2018. The charter mandates these evaluations should occur every year.

0: The amount of commission members that attended all commission meetings during any fiscal year. Also, the number of commission members that have been recommended for removal.

I’m no math whiz, but from the looks of it, it all adds up to zero accountability and one department in serious need of reform. ■ editor@mauitime.com + @axelbeers For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

HUMAN RIGHTS DAY OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED IN MAUI COUNTY

KAI LENNY AND KIM MCDONALD COLLABORATE FOR PA‘IA YOUTH & CULTURAL CENTER The Pa‘ia Youth & Cultural Center is auctioning off an original piece of surfboard art that is a collaboration between world champion waterman Kai Lenny, Maui fine artist Kim McDonald, and the PYCC. The custom surfboard – North

Shore: “Heart & Soul” – features McDonald’s art and Kai’s autograph and foot prints, and was designed to enhance any interior. The live online auction began Dec. 7 and ends Dec. 18 at 12pm HST. Bids can be made at Kimmcdonald.com/auction and 100 percent of proceeds go to PYCC. “What an amazing experience this has been to collaborate on artwork with one of my all-time favorite superstar athletes, Kai Lenny,” McDonald said. “I have known Kai since he was a young boy and watched him grow up to become a World Champion. He is truly an inspiration.”

McDonald said she was inspired to develop a unique concept with her surfboard art, bringing to life the elements of his footprints and autograph, along with her design aesthetic, on a gorgeous aqua blue Gun Surfboard. “The blue color represents the ocean, the green and white represent the movement in the waves of the sea,” she said. “The Malolo or ‘Flying Fish’ is something that connects Kai to the Hawaiian waters of Maui. He often sees them ‘flying’ out of the water during his ocean adventures.”

It has always been a dream of McDonald’s to give back, get involved, and make an impact with her art. “This is my something,” she said. “It’s also been a wonderful, enlightening experience to share with the PYCC facilitators. What a heartfelt, meaningful organization. So far it has been a transcendent experience…

Buy great art, and raise money for PYCC’s mission of building community through our youth.” ■ editor@mauitime.com + @axelbeers For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

Maui AIDS Foundation recently inspired Maui County to officially recognize December 10 as Human Rights Day. Mayor Alan Arakawa issued a proclamation to make December 10 Human Rights Day in the county after reviewing a proposal by Maui AIDS Foundation Medical Case Manager Justin Bibee, a longtime advocate for human rights.

Human Rights Day is observed worldwide on December 10, the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. This year marked the 70th anniversary of the declaration, a milestone document that proclaimed the inalienable rights which everyone is inherently entitled to as a human being – regardless of race, color, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth ,or other status. According to the United Nations website, it is the most translated document in the world, available in more than 500 languages.

The Maui County proclamation, shared on Maui AIDS Foundation social media, reads in part: “The United Nations Association of Hawaii and the County of Maui is dedicated to educating and mobilizing local communities to build a stronger network of global citizens and leaders to create a more prosperous, safe, just and sustainable world for all humans.”

“No one is unaffected by human rights,” said Bibee, whose advocacy includes service as a United States Peace Corps volunteer, founding Humanac, Morocco’s first ever volunteer-based human rights organization, and authoring several books on human rights. “Every day, the dedicated staff and volunteers at

Maui AIDS Foundation – along with so many other organizations here in Maui County – fight on the front lines and behind the scenes for clients’ right to healthcare, right to housing and their right to live life with dignity.”

On December 10, Maui AIDS Foundation participated in the social media theme of #StandUp4HumanRights, utilizing Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other platforms to acknowledge the day and publish the proclamation. Maui AIDS Foundation can be found on social media under the username @mauiaids.

Maui AIDS Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was established in 1986 as Maui County’s only AIDS service organization.

Along with federally funded case management services for individuals living with HIV/AIDS, the organization provides confidential and free testing for HIV, hepatitis C, and syphilis by appointment at (808) 242-4900. Office hours are from 8:30am to 4:30pm, Monday to Friday.

lastic Corporation, encouraging Maui youth with artistic talent and curiosity with free art books, beginning with the 2019-2020 school year.

Maui Arts League is also expanding its upcoming Youth Outdoor Painting Workshop, on Feb.17, 2019, to 60 participants. Art teacher Darice Machel McGuire, the 2019 LahainaTown Poster winner, will teach the workshop for students in grades 3-12.

Parents may register their budding artists at CelebrateArtOnMaui.org.

The Maui Arts League is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) community organization that seeks to showcase, cultivate, and build appreciation for visual fine arts while creating unique opportunities for people of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds to embrace the experience of art.

Every February, they sponsor the Maui Plein Air Painting Invitational, a week-long, nationally recognized event bringing 25 award-winning landscape artists to Maui.

News Of The Weird WAIT, WHAT? Akihiko Kondo, 35, of Tokyo, spent $18,000 on a Nov. 4 wedding ceremony to marry the love of his life, Hatsune Miku – a computer-generated hologram with big eyes and long, turquoise hair.

Kondo told Reuters he found Hatsune Miku, who has thousands of fans around the world, singing on the internet. The wedding ceremony included traditions such as the exchange of rings (hers was placed on the finger of a stuffed doll created in her image) and friends and relatives in attendance, although Kondo’s parents did not attend. “I believe the shape of happiness and love is different for each person,” Kondo said.

A Bank of America ATM in Houston was the scene of a near-riot on Nov. 25 when it began dispensing $100 bills instead of $10s, reported Click2Houston. After the first lucky driver posted his score on social media, a crowd showed up and stood in line, with a few fights and arguments breaking out over about two hours, until police were summoned and the free money was shut down. Bank of America released a statement the next day that would have galled Ebenezer Scrooge: “Customers will be able to keep the money dispensed.”

Turns out the blame lay with a vendor who incorrectly loaded $100 bills into the $10 slot. There was no report of how much money was withdrawn.

Richard Robert Langely, 46, of Kansas City, Missouri, was working part time for the Platte Woods Police Department in October when he decided to take part in the department’s drug take-back program. Except, according to court documents, Langely wasn’t disposing of drugs; he was helping himself to pills that had been collected in Lake Waukomis. And to make matters worse, the Kansas City Star reported, his own body camera captured evidence enabling prosecutors to charge him with felony theft of a controlled substance. Langely is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 10.

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINAL Wesley Glenn Bost, 27, of Birmingham, Alabama, made quite the impression when he fell through the ceiling of a Waffle House in Tuscumbia on Nov. 4, not least because he wasn’t wearing pants. Bost apparently went into the restaurant’s bathroom and used his pants to tie the door shut, then, said Tuscumbia police Detective Sgt. Wes Holland, climbed into the ceiling with the intent of robbing the office.

WHNT News reported that video of the incident shows Bost shoving other restaurant patrons on his way to the door, which was being held shut by people outside,

before hitting the door with his shoulder and falling to the floor. Finally he managed to flee... without his trousers... which held his driver’s license.

COMPELLING EXPLANATIONS It happens all the time: A vehicle crashes into a building, causing damage and sometimes injury, because brakes don’t function or a driver steps on the wrong pedal. In the case of Keith Rio Cavalier, 28, however, there was more to the story. WLOX reported that Cavalier drove his 1997 Toyota Tacoma into a glass wall at the Harrison County courthouse in Gulfport, Mississippi, on Nov. 10 at around 6am. The building was empty, so there were no injuries, and Cavalier can be clearly seen on surveillance video climbing out of the truck and leaving the scene. When police caught up to him, Cavalier told them he intentionally struck the building in order to report drug paraphernalia had been stolen from him. It will come as no surprise that Cavalier was found to have been driving under the influence and arrested; he was held at the county jail on $25,000 bond.

PICKY, PICKY A referee in a Women’s Super League soccer match in Manchester City, England, stayed cool at the start of the televised game on Oct. 26 when he realized he’d forgotten his coin for the kickoff coin toss. Thinking quickly, David McNamara had the captains of the Manchester City and Reading teams play “Rock, Paper, Scissors” instead. But the Football Association, soccer’s governing body in England, was unamused, and on Nov. 26, McNamara began a 21-day suspension after accepting a charge of “not acting in the best interests of the game,” according to the BBC. An FA refereeing manager said: “He should have been more prepared... It’s very unprofessional.”

AWESOME! All good things must come to an end, and so it seems for Robert Craig Davis, 70, of Key Largo, Florida. Drivers in South Florida had reported seeing a Chrysler Pacifica minivan rigged with a clever device that lowered a black cloth over its license plate each time it drove through an automated toll plaza. But on Nov. 17, according to FLKeysNews.com, an off-duty Florida highway patrolman spotted the vehicle as it passed through the Bird Road toll plaza and he alerted his fellow troopers.

Sgt. Carlos Vanegas soon stopped Davis, according to the arrest report, and found a remote control device used to operate the license plate cover. “The actions of the defendant showed an ongoing course of conduct with intent to defraud the SunPass toll system,” trooper Dennis Gallo wrote in his report. Davis was charged with organized fraud and petit theft. ■

t was a super dark night at the top of the road to Jaws. I was looking at the stars, for less than 10 minutes, waiting for my husband to help me fix my flat tire for the extra car for his grandchildren we were taking home. Then you come in your minivan and your surfboard, 100% intoxicated, burning rubber, screaming at me that I don’t live here, in the pitch black of night. You can’t even see me and I’ve lived on this road for years and my brother is best friends with your ex husband! I keep telling you! Then you say you coming back with two dogs and going to sick them on me. My husband pulled up within five seconds of one massive doberman pinscher attack dog 8-ft from on me in the black of night.

WHY THE HISTORIC 51-DAY SHERATON STRIKE MATTERS FOR ALL OF MAUI'S WORKERS.

BY DEBRA ANDRES ARELLANO

I

was a four-year old the last time Sheraton Maui employees went on strike.

Back in 1990, I barely knew what was going on. I remember clinging to my mom’s denim jeans as she and other housekeeping aunties walked around a circle carrying signs mounted on wooden sticks. I don’t remember much else from that time, but I could tell that what my mom and her coworkers were doing was important, and that it was important to stand up for what’s fair.

Whatever little I remembered from 1990, it was enough to impact me into my college years at UH Manoa. “So why aren’t you interning at the state legislature?” my undergraduate advisor asked. “Don’t you want to go to law school and drive a fancy BMW?” Dr. Ira Rohter was your typical sarcastic professor, but in that moment he was genuinely curious. Unlike the other Political Science majors, I chose to do an internship with a labor union – and not just any union. I chose to intern with Unite Here Local 5. “Because it’s my mother’s union,” I told him. “And my boyfriend’s too.”

Today, my mother is no longer the denim wearing 28-year-old, but rather a tired 56-year-old with a worn-out shoulder, counting down the years until retirement.

And that boyfriend? He’s now my husband of eight years, 14 years deep in a rank and file position at the Sheraton. I, on the other hand, keep graduating from college.

Over the years, work and school have gotten in the way of us spending quality time with each other. So, when the strike commenced, I took it as an opportunity to spend more time with my husband and my mother. I joined the picket line.

The Reality: One Job Is Not Enough Most of us don’t need to be reminded of

10 DECEMBER 13, 2018

the average cost of a single-family home on Maui, or the fact that you need an annual income of over $153,000 to afford the average house in Hawai‘i. But, the point is, our wages have yet to catch up. In the meantime, many like me still live at home, or squeeze in with other families in homes made for one. Too many of us struggle through two jobs, sometimes three, just to make it. In a family of four, it isn’t unheard of to have five or six jobs between mom, dad, and two working age children.

But for the visitor industry, 2018 has been a banner year, according to the Maui Visitors Bureau. The number of visitors is predicted to continue to increase in 2019, as Maui boasts some of the most beautiful hotels in the nation (which have been the justification for charging some of the highest prices for hotel rooms in the nation). This has fared well for Marriott, which continues to exceed its own expectations and set new record breaking profits. Indeed, last year, Marriott International CEO Arne M. Sorenson made $13,311,617 while the median worker got $33,697 – a CEO pay ratio of 395:1.

So, when Marriott and the union could not come to an agreement on a new contract in June, workers at Maui and O‘ahu hotels owned by Kyo-ya and managed by Marriott sensed unfairness. In September, at the end of the tourist season, they voted to go on strike. Two weeks later, Unite Here Local 5 workers joined fellow union members from across the country striking at Marriott hotels with the nationwide rallying cry: “One job should be enough.”

The Strike Was No Walk in the Park Unite Here Local 5 union members at the Sheraton Maui have been back to work for two weeks now. While they’ve been collaborating with management for a smooth transition back to their old roles under a new

contract, there are still many of us left wondering, how did they get a better contract?

As I’ve heard them say, chant, and shout proudly during the 51-day strike, “The people, united, will never be defeated.”

The Economic Policy Institute reports that “By joining together, working people can transform not just their workplaces but sectors and communities.” The workers understood this well, but many in the community did not. From the get go, workers seemed to be swimming against an overwhelming current of negative reception.

Debates ensued on social media and the negative comments blamed workers.

“If they don’t like what they’re getting paid then move!” Evie Chargualaf, a guest service agent with almost 40 years of service at the Sheraton Maui, recalled some saying.

“This is our home. Why should we have to move?” she told me. “The cost of living and the manini pay – Hawai’i needs to do something about this. That’s what we were fighting for. This wasn’t just a fight for us.

It was a fight for all locals.”

Similarly, when others would ask Virgil Seatriz Jr., a 12-year Bell Department employee, why he was investing so much into this, he said “I tell them this is bigger than me.”

I met Virgil years ago at one of the Bell Department social functions. Evie was someone I’d only heard of when my husband spoke about union matters. Both natural leaders, they shined in leadership roles during the strike. My husband and I, and many other workers, leaned on their strength throughout the 51 days.

We built friendships with each other, and with everyone on the picket line. But some workers quickly found themselves conflicted, because managers were friends they made over years working side by side.

“The hotel is like a second family to us,” said Virgil. Friends who were invited to

family birthday parties, weddings, and fantasy football leagues found themselves on opposite sides. “We even thought of some people in there too while we were outside,” explained Evie. “It wasn’t a personal vendetta to management.”

For workers and family members, it was scary to not know when the next paycheck was coming, especially with the holidays fast approaching. When I asked what was most difficult, Evie was quick to reply, “It was learning and feeling all my coworkers’ struggles. And that every person there had their own story with what was going on with them, their finances.”

She said that as a union leader, “The hardest thing was knowing that people were struggling, you had to think of ways to lift people up.”

Then there were the strikebreakers from the community called upon to fill the void in services. They were working people like the strikers, trying to keep afloat. Many worked for temp agencies and some were even family members. “There are broken families because of this. I know people not speaking to their families,” Evie told me.

Some workers have family members on the mainland who are also Marriott associates. When Marriott offered those associates the opportunity to come home as part of a relief team, workers had to talk family members down from crossing the picket line. It caused a rift in my own family too. There was a time when my sister, a banquets manager at the San Diego property on strike, felt it was better not to speak with any of us.

Of course, the strike also disgruntled many guests. The combination of limited room service and food options, and not having been informed of the strike upset visitors and sometimes resulted in threats of physical violence. Directing their frustration at the workers, many tried to ram the picket

line. There would occasionally be an industrial-sized pot of soup for the night shift.

My husband even came to perfect his pad thai recipe and after a certain point, my mother was making halo-halo regularly.

Nobody went hungry at the picket line.

Lastly, the workers knew that they were part of something bigger. “We were smart to negotiate to end our contracts at the same time,” Evie explained. “Just knowing, there was a whole bunch of us. Hotels across the country were fighting the same fight, holding the same signs and wearing the same t-shirts… The whole movement was huge.”

Last year, Marriot CEO Arne Sorenson made 395x Marriot’s median worker

line. “One of them almost hit me,” Virgil told me, recounting the close calls he had as a strike marshal. I had to jump out of the way myself to avoid angry drivers.

Celebrities were among those that joined the list of strike breakers. It was a blow for strikers to learn that people they admired like Shane Victorino, Common, and the Yankees crossed picket lines at other properties.

From different walks of life, it seemed many people didn’t understand the strike or the struggles of hotel workers on Maui. I asked Virgil why he thought that was.

“A majority of them are non-union people or can’t grasp the concept of what the union stands for and fights for,” he answered. Indeed, my own college students needed convincing that going on strike is legal. And as an educator, it felt like a sucker punch when the UH Maui College Culinary Program didn’t relocate their annual fundraiser and instead crossed the picket line.

The People, United, Will Never Be Defeated When the US Supreme Court ruled on Janus this summer, public sector workers across the nation were given the freedom to discontinue paying union dues and withdraw from their unions. There was fear that public sector workers, who make up nearly half of the nation’s unionized workers, would leave their unions in droves.

But according to Gallup, union approval ratings have actually been on the rise. Six out of 10 Americans approve of unions – the highest it’s been in 15 years. From that same study, four out of 10 Americans want union influence to increase while another 26 percent are alright with unions keeping the same amount of political influence. In Hawai‘i, the Star Advertiser reported that Janus has not significantly affected Hawai‘i public sector unions. Union membership and accounts seem unaffected.

This seems to counter the popular misconception that unions are no longer relevant. Hawai‘i remains the second most unionized state in the nation. One of every five of us belong to a labor union.

In the last months, Local 5 courageously walked out of their jobs for 51 days to make a resounding statement that one job should be enough – and that they shall not be moved. In a Star Advertiser column last week, Gary Hooser challenged readers to rise up and join the “gutsy” hotel workers in the heroic fight to improve lives for all working people in Hawai‘i. Are we now in a time where conditions are ripe to fight for what’s right, and for one job to be enough?

And if it is, will you join?

Last night, I asked my mother, “Mom, how come we won?” Without hesitation she replied, “Because we need to.” ■ editor@mauitime.com For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

So, How Did the Union Win? For starters, they were being watched, and they knew it. The union fought a very public strike with eyes watching them from all over the nation.

“Everyone was watching,” Virgil told me. “I had to keep cool. I had to keep my composure and not break down.”

“What we showed in the strike line directly affected the negotiations,” Evie explained.

Even our own young were watching. There were workers that brought their children to the picket line and eventually, those children took up the bullhorns to lead chants.

They also got outside help to pressure the Marriott and Kyo-ya. “We realized we were brothers and sisters of another union” recalled Evie. Fellow Local 5 members and other unionized workers came down to lend support. Other unions withdrew their business from the hotel. Union members and guests alike donated food, money, and even walked the picket line. Guests checked out in support of the workers and the mounting negative TripAdvisor reviews also helped apply pressure for negotiations.

Some supportive guests were regulars that workers befriended over the years.

One night, a bellman left the picket line early to join their return guests for dinner.

Another day, a housekeeper was greeted at the picket line by their return guests who wanted to make sure she was doing OK. The workers provided quality service and

devotion over the years, and management and return guests knew that.

When I asked what else went into winning, Evie said “It’s leaders. Leaders are who helped us win. We had great leaders. We were taught well.” Indeed, union leaders were the ones who introduced the structure of the strike, and trained other leaders like Virgil and Evie to help build others like them that would rise to the task.

“A lot of it came from every person digging into themselves for what they could show,” she continued. “When you see people inside or outside – you remember the things that each individual did to make an impact and play a part.”

Being persistent and noisy was another factor. Picketers chanted and found creative ways to make noise, leading eventually to a drumline of pots, pans, buckets, and fishing bells. “The noise was motivating. You had to make noise,” Evie added. “We were saying, ‘This is our voice. Here we are.’”

And they were there to win, unwavering in their beliefs. In fact, they wholeheartedly believed they would win. It was just a matter of when. “We had to show our strength in numbers and in quality,” Evie explained, describing what she saw on the picket line.

“People’s faces, what their emotions were showing through their faces, was a kind of brokenness but a lot of strength. You know, you’re not gonna beat me down. You’re not gonna beat us down. We will win. We started this and we’re gonna go to the end.”

And when doubt did start to creep in, there was someone there to pick them up.

They had each other. “You can see them in a different light now,” explained Virgil.

“They’re there for you, they’re there to pick you up. Like ‘ohana – how ‘ohana should be.” Negotiations came and went, and the days went by, but they weren’t intolerable.

To most, the picket line was actually kind of fun. Evie recalls, “It was huge to urge people to go on or try to get them to have fun at the same time because if you’re not having fun and laughing, it becomes depressing in some ways and it becomes a harder fight.” On any given day, walking the picket line meant dancing, singing, and joking together. One of the workers even brought their DJ system.

And another factor that will never be overrated: At the picket line, there was always food. It didn’t take long for everyone to start bringing in pans of food. Cooks for guests were now cooking for the picket

51 Days Stronger The 51-day strike was historic. It surpassed the 22-day strike in 1990 and it was the longest strike in Hawai‘i since ILWU’s 1970 strike that lasted 75 days. But more importantly, it was a part of what news sources are calling “the largest multi-city hotel industry strike ever.” Local 5 members at the Sheraton were part of a movement that included 23 different hotels on strike.

Local 5’s historic win included an over $6 increase in hourly pay, benefits, and the development of a child and elderly care fund.

And at a time when workers are becoming replaced with technology and automation, members fought hard to win a seat at the table and have a say in the deployment of technology. They fought and won for the reduction of subcontracting of positions and for the reduction of housekeeping workloads. Women and nursing mothers won the promise of a safer workplace.

Workers also move on from the strike with something bigger. “The reality is now having gone on strike, everybody knows where our benefits come from, why we have such a good contract,” Evie shared.

“People are more educated and more knowledgeable about what our union is and what unions are in general.”

“Before, we would just show up to work, swipe in, swipe out, either nod or say hello to other departments. Now, we almost know each other by name, no matter which department you worked at,” Virgil explained.

“There’s a sense of ‘ohana now where you consider your coworkers your brothers and sisters.” He added, “Before the strike, I think we would just let things go with the flow and voice our opinions individually than as a whole. As a whole we can now voice what’s right or wrong, not individually.”

When I asked Evie about the transition

phase, she said, “We’re taking what we learned inside now.”

And when I asked if the union had any role in the community, she responded, “We were fighting [to] make a statement that things in Hawai‘i need to change. Employers need to take care of their workers and the minimum wage needs to go up.” I asked the same question to Virgil, and if he thought that workers should take action on current Maui issues. He was quick to reply, “Yes, because it’s a similar fight.”

“This wasn’t just a fight for us. It was a fight for all locals.” - Evie Chargualaf

MOKU ROOTS IN LAHAINA LEADS THE ‘FARM TO TABLE TO FARM’ MOVEMENT WITH A COMMITMENT TO ZERO-WASTE, LOCALLY SOURCED, HEALTHY FOOD

The small amount of trash produced after serving 200 meals

hunted meat. “Most of the people who come in are not vegetarian or vegan, they’re just looking for something healthy,” said Gale.

Seven months in, the owners have done some catering, have started producing their popular taro burgers on a larger scale, and are talking about another location, maybe on the other side of the island. These women are going places – and taking us with them.

We all know we need to do better, but sometimes that’s hard, especially when our everyday life just makes it easy to grab the plastic fork or the throwaway coffee cup.

Many restaurant owners, dismayed by the plastics washing up on our beach, have taken the leap to compostable products. This is a commendable start, but compostable products only break down in commercial facilities, which Maui doesn’t have, so the single-use products mostly end up in the landfill anyway.

Moku Roots bravely takes this responsibility one step further, and simply takes away the option for convenience and single-use while providing an attractive and reasonable alternative. Sometimes we need someone to force our hand, and to be the change we all want to see. In this way, Moku Roots is leading the charge for a truly more sustainable Maui.

“It’s really important to vote with your dollar,” Gale said. “When you support us, you are supporting that movement of zero-waste. No one else has really committed to it, yet, like we have. That’s a really cool thing to be a part of.” ■ jen@mauitime.com For more foodie stories, visit: mauitime.com/food-drink

little restaurant in sunny Lahaina has been making waves with tasty local options that are healthy for both bodies and the Earth. Since opening its doors in May, Moku Roots has been serving vegetarian food in an almost completely zero-waste process, and the community has taken note. “We were so much busier from the first day than we’ve ever thought we would be. And it’s just kept growing,” said Erica Gale, owner, who along with her partner Alexa Caskey has taken a strong approach in running the zero-waste restaurant that serves yummy local food.

“Everyone knows the term farm to table,” said Gale when I sat down with her, “but we’re doing farm to table to farm, and it closes that gap.” All the compost created in the shop goes back up to Caskey’s farm, Mala ‘Akala in Launiupoko, where they raise organically managed vegetables that are then used in the restaurant.

“We’re doing as much as we can to go zero-waste and eliminate as much waste as we can,” said Gale. “We’re able to eliminate the waste of the products coming in, because we get everything from our farmers. You don’t need to have your avocados in a package, or your fruit in plastic.”

Working in the service industry for years, Gale could see how much waste just one evening could generate. “I knew that there was a better way,” she thought.

The women have incorporated a sustainable, iconic solution to the problem of throwaway wrappers. According to Gale, “We designed our menu so that most things are hand held, and so any sandwiches, wraps, rolls, that kind of thing, we will wrap in a taro leaf.” One regular customer even reported cooking and eating the taro leaves his sandwiches were wrapped in.

For those things that aren’t handheld, like salads and curries, the shop doesn’t offer single-use convenience packaging. “We have these reusable silver tins, and you can purchase one for $10, and you can put it on deposit so if you want to bring it back, we’ll give you your money back,” said Gale.

“We don’t use single-use anything. We have bamboo sporks, also on deposit. Same with our mason jars, a $3 deposit.” Customers can bring their own containers, too.

The response to the restaurant’s lack of wasteful products has been “really, really good for the most part.” A couple people have balked at the extra cost if they’re unaware of the restaurant’s stance on single-use disposable products, “and I get that,” said Gale. “But we’re holding firm.” It’s a strong and ultimately brave choice for a business to make, and Moku Roots is the only restaurant doing it.

“This is something that is so different, so some people are kind of taken aback by it,” Gale said, but “for the most part people are so stoked. We have a great local following, but also the tourists come in and are like, ‘Wow, we need this in California.’ It’s really cool to see that shift in mindset. I think that now is the time when people are more receptive to it.” And it’s making a difference: Between composting, lack of wrapping on their prod-

ucts coming in, and no front-end single-use waste, the shop generates just a tiny bathroom-sized trash can of actual waste each day.

That’s not even considering the food, which is fresh, organic, and local, with lots of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, and features multicultural and ever-changing options. “I would say about 90 percent of our menu is vegan; our chef, Nick, is vegan, and she’s the one who is coming up with a lot of recipes, but we do have eggs and cheese on our menu. Real eggs and real cheese,” Gale added.

“Our biggest seller by far are our taro burgers,” Gale told me. They get several hundreds of pounds of wetland taro from farmers in Keanae, and use their house-made coconut flour as ingredients. The Moku Burgers have become so popular that other restaurants, like Cool Cat Cafe and Captain Jack’s Island Grill, started buying them in bulk.

“We do a lot of local spins on things like falafel, using local products,” said Gale.

In their falafel, “probably our second-best seller,” they use cassava instead of chickpeas.

They do specials every day based on what’s growing, and try to mix it up. They use house-made ulu-whole-wheat bread for sandwiches and naan bread, and host themed nights with vegetarian sushi and Indian food.

Along with “punk-rock, tattooed, vegan chef Nick,” the girls experiment with recipes, many of which are inspired by Gale’s worldwide travels from Dubai to Vietnam.

“We try and change like 20 percent of our menu every month,” she said. “We just want to keep it fresh and shake it up.”

Though her partner, Caskey, is a vegetarian, Gale herself likes to spearfish and eats

he Westside is a landscape of iconic images: Honolua Bay’s perfect, peeling waves, the sweeping mountains over Olowalu, the pineapple fields of Kapalua, and, of course, the Sugar Cane Train. The Sugar Cane Train, along with being a childhood favorite of many Maui residents, is symbolic of the historic plantation days of rippling cane fields, a time when the sugar crop, now gone from the landscape of Maui, was king. Carving through the fields with steam trailing from the chimney under

the stunning backdrop of West Maui, the locomotive has had a special place in many residents’ hearts for decades. Though it is not actually from the plantation days – it began as a tourist attraction in the ’60s – it recalls that piece of history with nostalgia.

“The train is beloved by the people who live here,” said Todd Domeck, one of the owners of the train. Domeck, along with co-owner Craig Hill, bought the train in 2014. “They’ve had about 15 million people ride on the train over the years. Every day we have folks stop in with their grandchildren to tell us about coming here when they were a child.”

With the new owners, the train has retained its idyllic charm but has been reimagined for the holiday season. From November through the end of this year, kids and adults alike can board the train for the evening Holiday Express for some of that old iconic nostalgia imbued with a festive Christmas spirit.

Twice a night, the train brings passengers along the old routes from Pu‘ukoli‘i Station

Next stop, Santa’s Depot

“It’s an old train, with old train cars, and an old steam engine, so you’ve got all of that nostalgia of a train ride,” said Domeck. The train is decked out in festive cheer, with “about 200,000 Christmas lights on the train itself, and at Santa’s Depot there’s another half-a-million lights. There are lights and garlands and Christmas spirit – that’s what people love.”

“The train has been here far longer than I have; it was started as a tourist attraction in 1969 by Mac McKelvey, Angus McK-

fulltime next May or June,” said Domeck.

“It’s really a loved attraction for folks off island and locals. Everyone I know had relatives that worked on the train at some point. So we’re just really proud to be able to save it and keep it here, and we can’t do that without the support of the people who live here.” ■ jen@mauitime.com For more A&E stories, visit: mauitime.com/entertainment

Ralph Wrecks It The endless product placement and cameos in ‘Ralph Breaks the Internet’ represent everything troubling about Disney ★★★★★

Rated PG / 112 Min.

A

PHOTO COURTESY IMDB

t the beginning of Ralph Breaks the Internet, the lovable doofus “Wreck It” Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) and tiny, sugary-voiced Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) are still best friends and enjoying the simplicity of their lives as video game characters. When the steering wheel attached to Vanellope’s “Sugar Rush” breaks, she and Ralph set off on a quest into the internet in order to find a steering wheel replacement in a land called eBay. There are moments of true genius within Ralph Breaks the Internet but it also left me unsatisfied and cross-eyed from the endless parade of product placements and shameless in-movie commercialism. I had fun watching this, even as I sensed this is more a product than a story that earns the emotional uplift at the end.

It’s one thing to set a movie in the world wide web and tease how the system works, but this is less a web send-up and more like a lavish Super Bowl ad.

In many ways, this represents everything that’s troubling about the Disney domination of pop culture. Seeing a movie like this, with countless product placements, endless lists of iconic characters who make pop up cameos, and giant franchises existing in the same space, is a numbing, deadening experience. If a Storm Trooper and Snow White can exist in the same space, then why is either story valid or special? More to the point, the uniqueness and distinct qualities of

an individual narrative is tossed aside so fans can quickly glimpse a favorite character, who says a few lines, then vanishes. Sick, dude!

Actually, it isn’t.

Ready Player One proved this at the top of 2018: If you have a tossed out cameo appearance by, say, Chucky the Killer Doll, who shows up in one quick moment, then vanishes, it cheapens the character, who deserves his own movie.

I know Marvel is on a roll but universe building isn’t necessary for every franchise, let alone every film studio. Ralph Breaks the Internet suggests that everything Disney owns lives in a shared universe. Somebody please stop this trend before the next sequel takes place at a library, with the March Sisters, Lolita, Katniss Everdeen, and Hermione racing one another in go-karts.

This is supposed to play as satire but it could only work that way if this was made by a rival studio; watching a Disney movie kinda tease their collection of iconic princesses isn’t comedy, it’s strategic back patting. So are the internet gags, which are obvious and limited. Is this movie intended to instruct children on how the internet works?

At best, this is superior to the moronic The Emoji Movie. While there are lots of visualizations for things like pop-up ads and online bidding, it shies away from adding dramatic gravity to the setting like the Tron films do.

Consider again the highly touted Disney princess sequence, in which every character defined by that term appears in a get-together to give Vanel-

It’s like being locked in a Disney Store

lope some advice. Moana is among the guests and is, once again, voiced by Auli‘i Cravalho. This should be a big deal. It isn’t, as Cravalho has barely any lines and everything that makes Moana a potent character is absent from the scene. The same can be said of Ariel, Elsa, and all the rest.

Ralph Breaks the Internet gets truly weird at the end, with creepy imagery that made small children sitting around me cry aloud during the screening. The last scene is so very isthat-all-there-is, I was grateful for the amusing scenes hidden within the end credits. In the end, despite raising potentially interesting ideas, it feels like no real points have been made. Bringing up very adult concepts like “dark web” and the cruelty visible in comments sections should result in moral

commentary but these issues are tossed aside as quickly as they appear.

When the movie takes a break from name-dropping companies and products, in order to build a story and character development, there are some fine moments. The extended sequence inside a “Grand Theft Auto”-like game is wonderful. So is the out-of-nowhere music number that plays like cracked brilliance (it’s the lone goof on Disney convention that lands). Best of all is the chemistry between Reilly and Silverman, which is rich enough to sustain our investment in these characters. When the movie is presenting existentialist questions about what it means to be happy and what makes a great friend, it works. When it piles on the product placement, Ralph Breaks the Internet is like being locked in a Disney Store. ■

Horoscope

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

A brick building doesn’t go up all at once, but gradually, piece by piece. You might be able to build and raise a wooden barn in a matter of hours, but in order to have something as solid and long-lasting as the structure you want, you’ve got to put in the time. This isn’t something you’re used to. But since what you’re building is the equivalent of a tower that’ll let you reach new heights and see further and more clearly than you ever have, I highly recommend making sure it isn’t something that’ll come tumbling down in a stiff breeze. That means being patient and painstakingly careful. It might not come naturally to you, but you can do it – and should.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

You can’t really get mad when a puppy chews up your shoes, your kid wets the bed, or an Aries steps on your toes. None of them means anything by it; they might not even quite grasp that their behavior is undesirable. Since you’re likely to experience one or all of these situations, and more like them, make sure you’re at your most patient this week. While it’s perfectly okay to clearly communicate that this is behavior you’d rather see stop, losing your temper won’t help the situation. You’re known for your amazing discipline.

This week, exercise it on yourself, even while you share it with those who need a bit more of it.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Under other circumstances, speaking your mind would be the thing to do, but this particular scenario requires that you keep your pie hole shut. Being brash and outspoken is certainly still an option, but exercising it will have the primary effect of getting you kicked out, not heard. I know you’re used to using your brilliant silver tongue to get your way most of the time, but right now you’d be better served by finding other, more subtle ways to get your point across. It’s possible to get the boat to completely change course without rocking it or making waves.

This week, you get to figure out how.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

What you’re up to now is roughly the equivalent of wearing your favorite outfit to the exclusion of all else, until it falls off in rags. I know you love that particular shirt with those pants, and you’re convinced you look better in them than in anything else you own, but you’re actually ruining them by spending so much time in them. You might be right about how great that combo is, but you’re stupid to squander it.

Stretch it out. Mix things up, and save the good stuff for more special occasions.

like driving, would have to go. I mean how much of your life would you lose to mourning and feeling sorry for yourself? There’s a difference between experiencing your natural emotions, and wallowing in them. There’s no need to marinate in your misery if you lose something you’d always taken for granted. Feel sad, then move on.

Show us just how resilient you can be.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

It’s overcast and unseasonably warm as I write this. The clouds have trapped in all the warmth.

Your mood is overcast too, with a certain situation blanketing your internal sky with gray and keeping you from releasing the sultry heat of some negative emotions. You can’t do anything about the weather, but luckily you have much more influence over your own emotions. I’m guessing you know what it’ll take to cause a bit of blue to crack through all that gray and let the sunshine in, and let all those feelings you’re stewing in vent out to space. Given the situations you’re about to find yourself in, I’d rather you not subject yourself to severe, rapid global warming.

In other words, do what you’ve got to do to keep it cool the next couple weeks.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Are people more likely to get into sketchy situations if they’re confident they can get themselves out of them? If you know you have a gun in your pocket, are you more apt to go walking in a shady neighborhood at night, rather than taking the longer, safer route home? No one has more confidence than you – and thus no one is more likely to get into trouble because of it. This week, take it easy, and play it safe. Just because you have the tools to handle trouble doesn’t mean you need to frolic blithely into it.

This week you are a frustrated circus poodle. Every flaming hoop you leap through is succeeded by two more. It’s dismaying, I know, especially because you thought this sideshow would be over by now. Instead there’s no end in sight. It’s there, though; you just can’t see it yet. Luckily I’m here to cheer you on, and crack the whip if necessary. The only way out is through, and then through again. There’s still a few more flaming circles to hop through, to be sure, but keep leaping – the last hoop is just up ahead.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

When your car breaks down on the side of the road, you’re practically obligated to pop the hood and check things out, even though you know that there’s not much point, since it’s extremely unlikely you’d have the parts or the experience to repair it. This situation is similar. You know that your ability to diagnose, let alone fix, the problem is very limited. Nevertheless, it’ll make everyone feel better if you try anyway. Your helplessness doesn’t let you off the hook. Do your best to address the issue at hand. Ignoring it would not only be tacky, it’d almost be criminal.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

If you woke up tomorrow blind and deaf, how much of your life would you lose? I don’t mean which activities would you have to cut out; it’s obvious that some things,

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Some people can use their minds to do amazing things, like resist intense cold or go without sleep. I believe we frequently underestimate the power of our wills. However it’s important to know our limits. You can’t go walking barefoot in the snow without repercussions just because you want to. I truly believe you can do anything you set your mind to, but only if you properly prepare yourself first. Leaping without looking is not only counter to your style and instincts, it’s likely to get you into trouble. Since there’ll be plenty of people egging you on to do just that, I thought I’d throw in my two cents. Go where they want you to, if you’re into it – but exercise that powerful will, and only go there in your own time and your own way.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

where beach meets fashion

I once got stuck in a precarious rock-climbing situation. I knew that if I could keep my cool, I’d be fine, but if I freaked out or panicked, I could die, or at least suffer serious injury. I’d never before had such a tangible, concrete connection between my fear and its negative impact on my life. Obviously, I managed to keep it together, and the lesson stuck with me. Fear, my dear, is your worst enemy, much worse than any of the stuff you’re actually threatened with. It’s likely to make virtually any situation you find yourself in much worse. And if you learn how to tackle even complex tangles with humor and aplomb instead of terror and panic, you’re likely to make them that much easier to deal with.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

What would you do if you discovered that all the moments you’d thought were private this past year weren’t? Let’s imagine they’d been broadcast to the internet, so every argument, intimate encounter, and contemplative nose-picking session had potentially been witnessed. You’d be angry, right? What if the process had also made you famous or wealthy?

Only you know what complex melange of emotions this kind of thing would inflict upon you. Since something like this (though probably much less extreme) is about to be revealed, you’ll be able to figure out exactly how you’d feel about it, very soon.
