MAHI PONO FARMING Saw the headline this week on the cover of MauiTime in regards to the above subject line - Didn’t even pick it up. Not even cat read. Mind your own business. Like a bunch of old lady’s you are.

-Leo Thiner-Brickey, via email

Author Deborah Caulfield Rybak responds:

Dear Mr. Thiner-Brickey, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your sentiments about the story I wrote that you didn’t read (or even let your cat read). Your demand that we “mind our own business” brought a smile to my face. Of course we’re not going to mind our own business. We’re journalists.

Nosily yours, Deborah Rybak

SAYS NO TO NAVY The Navy has proposed conducting special operations near shore on all Maui County islands except for Kaho‘olawe. It has said it will seek permission from all owners where these operations are proposed. Since all beaches are publicly owned or controlled, I have asked Governor Ige to deny permission for these operations to occur on our beaches.

I invite like-minded residents to do the same.

with the community,” not just “stakeholders.”

“I told them to talk to local people and do it publicly, where the conversation can be heard by a lot of people. I want them to think more holistically and to be more proactive about talking to people instead of waiting until the ‘Facebook Fury’ erupts.”

King also advised them to talk to the community about what crops they wanted to see planted. “If we’re going to grow our own food, don’t just grow coffee – that’s not food. Find out from us what we want you to grow and what we’d like to eat.”

Mahi Pono has mentioned coffee as one of the crops it intends to grow. But King said she told them, “If you plant 20,000 acres of it, you won’t be growing it for Maui, you’re growing it for export.”

King praised Tsutsui’s hiring. “I know Shan and I know that he’s not going to make a commitment to the company unless he’s sure that they’re going to do the right thing.

He’s not going to do anything that hurts his reputation, so that’s where a lot of my faith in the Mahi Pono people comes from.”

Venerated community activist and former Maui College professor Dick Mayer was also pleased with the announcement. “Of all the people on Maui that they could have chosen, Shan is probably the best person to do this in terms of his contacts. He’s not a farmer, but he knows the socioeconomic environment very well. Coming from the mainland, this group should pick a person who’s not just a technician, but actually a leader, and the former lieutenant governor of the state and a former state senator meets all those criteria.”

Newly-minted consultant Sean Lester was fervent in his praise for his new company’s executives. “They are strong Christians who believe they’re stewards of the earth,” Lester said Saturday. “There is a genuine humbleness to them and an honest sincerity.”

Lester said that prior to accepting this position, he had devoted himself to “trying to keep corporate structure in a place where Maui wasn’t totally overwhelmed. So after such a long time fighting for our basic existence as an island, to see the opportunity for everyone to come together was enough to make me put my reputation on the line with these folks and step forward.”

As far as plans go, Lester offered a lot of superlatives, but said people will have wait for details. “They’re opening a blank book with a pen and saying, ‘What do you want your future to look like?’ No one has done that before.

“When this starts to unfold over a period of time, you’ll see the vision that’s going to be happening and it’s going to totally blow you away. For those who have been involved in farming and cattle, it’s simply a matter of allowing them to pour their mana‘o into the system. Our job is to skillfully weave that into what’s going to be happening for the next hundred years on Maui.”

Lester described his job as “making sure all of these interweavings come together in an effective way and to vet things to ensure that they are rationally viable. [His job] will morph into other things as necessary.

PHOTO COURTESY SEAN LESTER

ahi Pono, the island’s newest and largest landowner, has acquired some Maui employees. Former Hawai‘i Lt. Governor Shan Tsutsui and longtime island activist Sean Lester have signed on with the subsidiary of California-based Pomona Farming, which acquired more than 41,000 acres of former sugarcane land from Alexander & Baldwin last month.

Currently a vice president in the Honolulu office of Strategies 360, “a strategic positioning firm” (as a press release described it), Tsutsui helped bring Pomona Farming and A&B together. At Mahi Pono, he will serve as vice president of operations and also continue to work at Strategies 360, only now as a managing partner. He was asked how he will manage both during an interview Sunday. “My new role will significantly reduce my time commitments for 360 and it will put me back on Maui.”

Shan’s longtime friend Lester has been hired as a consultant. Lester, a former nuclear engineer, has been a political activist for years and has been affiliated at one time or another with Maui Tomorrow and the Pono Network. He made news during the most recent county council election cycle when he unsuccessfully challenged the candidacies of council members Riki Hokama, Mike Molina, and Alice Lee with the county clerk’s office, alleging they had exceeded their term limits.

In addition, community activist Tiare Lawrence, who came close to defeating State Rep. Kyle Yamashita in last year’s primary election, confirmed Sunday that she has been offered a job as well, “but nothing is in writing yet.”

In the weeks following the December 20 announcement of the sale, Lester was on the phone with many Maui progressives extolling the virtues of the new owners.

Lawrence has posted many positive stories about Mahi Pono on Facebook and has urged others to keep an open mind about the new owners. It’s a far cry from her work fighting the mainland group TEACH when it wanted to take over Old Maui High School for an agricultural project and ran into a wall of community opposition. Asked about this seeming discrepancy, Lawrence’s reply was succinct: “I trust Shan.”

A cynic might note that Lester and Lawrence’s jobs appear to be more dedicated to keeping that same Maui community calm than addressing the farming logistics that the massive land sale will entail.

Tsutsui said that Mahi Pono hasn’t “made any firm decisions on any additional staff at this point” and called Lester “part of the transition team.” He said Lawrence would be valuable with “governmental relations and the legislative process.”

Tsutsui and Lester escorted officials from Mahi Pono and its parent organization through a series of meetings Thursday and Friday with various Maui movers and shakers. In town was Mahi Pono president Ann Chin, Ryon Paton – one of the principals in Pomona Farming and Trinitas Partners – and Allison Hoiberg, vice president of sales and marketing and wife of Paton’s business partner Kirk Hoiberg.

Albert Perez, executive director of Maui Tomorrow, spent an hour-and-a-half with the group at a lunch on Thursday. “My main goal was to establish a positive working relationship, and I think we achieved that.”

Tsutsui described the two days of meetings as “productive. I want them to learn about the history and different issues and concerns from different points of view. We met with a wide spectrum of folks,” from farmers to developers. He said the developers asked if Mahi Pono had plans for any affordable housing. “The answer was no.”

Maui County Council Chair Kelly King was candid with her visitors about the reasons behind some of the suspicion that has been expressed about the purchase and the new owners. “The mistake that some developers make when they come into our community is thinking they know more than we do.”

She advised them to meet and partner with different members of the community.

“Then you’re building collaboration. You’re not coming in and doing something to us or for us, you’re doing something with us.”

She said she encouraged them “go meet

Longtime island activist Sean Lester

We are all carrying a deep, extraordinary responsibility here to be ethical and honest and transparent.”

Lester said that Mahi Pono wants “everyone’s best ideas.” But not just yet. The “principals” will be back at the end of January for more meetings, but not anything community-wide. “Right now the major stakeholders are all being listened to and then from there it will all go out to community meetings and others.

“Just be patient with us.” ■ editor@mauitime.com For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

How the U.S. government shutdown is affecting Maui’s residents

Access denied!

she said. “I am not going anywhere with six kids by myself.” Laura and her husband have three children of their own and are currently fostering three children of a friend who is receiving treatment on O‘ahu for cancer.

“The uncertainty of not knowing how long this is going to last has been incredibly stressful,” she added. Indeed, Evan said he’s heard that air traffic controllers at some other airports are calling in sick because they are “over it. But Maui is pretty tight-knit. We come to work to support the other guys and not let them down.”

In addition to air traffic controllers, airport technicians and Transportation Security Administration employees are working without pay during the shutdown, as well as Coast Guard, military, and many others, including some staff at national parks. Even the Hawaiian One employee of Haleakala National Park declined to comment on the situation when approached, referring media requests to the park spokesperson. Contacted for comment on how the shutdown is affecting park employees working unpaid, the written response from Information Officer Nancy Stimson was terse.

“I’m sorry, due to the federal government shutdown, we don’t have the staff resources to research that question. We can respond to you once normal government operations resume,” Stimson wrote in an email.

With 31 of 80 park employees furloughed, the entrance station at Haleakala is staffed for the sunrise reservation period, 3am to 7am, but can be found empty after that. The diminished park protection provided at Haleakala sparked concern in Native Hawaiian activists. “When we heard there wouldn’t be coverage, that raised a red flag for us,” said Joyclynn Costa, who sent a kahea, a call or summons, on Facebook for help, gathering more than a doz-

isn’t a quiet, beautiful place to compare. I wish we had other protected reserves with a boardwalk to protect the species.”

It’s uncertain what resource protection is being provided during the continuing shutdown. Attempts to contact Kealia Wildlife refuge personnel lead to standard voice and email replies: “Due to the lapse in funding of the federal government budget, I am out of the office. I am not authorized to work during this time, but will respond to your email when I return to the office.”

The refuge website refers visitors to a U.S. Department of the Interior memo that states “only a relatively small number of ‘excepted personnel’ will be on duty during the shutdown period. Those personnel are not sufficient to provide a full range of public and resource protection services.”

Already the third-longest shutdown and on track to top the record books as the longest if it continues through the weekend, the shutdown shows no sign of concluding soon (last week, Trump threatened the shutdown could last “months or even years”).

The Internal Revenue Service has already declared that tax refunds will be delayed if the shutdown stretches into late January. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, more commonly known as food stamps, has funding to last only through mid-February.

A study released last week by personal finance website WalletHub ranked Hawai‘i 4th place for states most affected by the federal shutdown. Two metrics that put Hawai‘i near the top are its share of federal jobs compared to all jobs and its high percentage of real estate as a share of gross state product. ■ editor@mauitime.com For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

s the federal government shutdown hurtles through its third week with no end in sight, many Maui residents are wondering how the standoff in Washington, D.C. could delay or suspend services here at home. Yet with Haleakala National Park remaining open, there are few visible markers that life is different on Maui. By far, the strongest effects are felt privately.

For federal employees who live here, the potential length of this shutdown is definitely “more nerve-racking,” said "Evan," an air traffic controller at Kahului Airport, who asked that his real name be withheld to protect his job. “This is the one where people are like, ‘crap, this could last a long time.’ A lot of people are frustrated at being used as a bargaining chip,” he said, referring to President Donald Trump’s threat that the government will stay closed until Democrats in Congress fund $5 billion for a wall at the Mexican border.

Coming up on his first missed paycheck, Evan said, “Some people have savings, but a lot will have to go straight to a credit card. I’m one of those, and I am not looking forward to that.” For others, the financial stress is even more immediate.

Also speaking anonymously to protect her family’s livelihood, "Laura" is the spouse of an airport employee considered “essential” and therefore required to report to work without assurance he’ll ever get paid.

“Historically they have been paid back, but there is no guarantee,” said Laura. “I just paid off a credit card the week before the shutdown, because I thought we’d have his paycheck for the mortgage.”

All of Laura’s family plans for the holidays had to be cancelled because of her husband's lack of income. “I rented out our minivan to tourists to make an extra $500,”

en people together at noon on New Year’s Day to place a kapu on the mountain. “A kapu is a spiritual ceremony that prohibits desecration,” said Cody Nemet Tuivaiti, a Maui native who felt compelled to attend.

“Haleakala is the most sacred area on Maui because it’s where water meets the aina first. We felt the mauna was left exposed.”

When Tuivaiti arrived, “we saw a lot of cars piling in without being stopped, and nobody was managing where people were going.” In addition to the protocol and the placing of ki (ti leaf) on a flagpole, men in the group formed a line at the entrance and acted as kia‘i, or guards, for cars entering the park.

“We explained the code of conduct: don’t take anything away, stay on the trails, use the bathrooms, don’t litter,” he said.

“Most people were positive towards us, but a few seemed to feel entitled, like they didn’t need to listen because we weren’t workers. That keeps me up at night; are people going to listen?”

Tuivaiti and Costa said the park superintendent, Natalie Gates, came out to thank them for what they were doing because the employees “don’t have control over what’s happening,” according to Tuivaiti.

She “understood our mana‘o,” said Costa.

“This is our kuleana to protect.”

Maui’s other large tract of federal land, Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge, is also closed and a sign warns that “all public access to this refuge is prohibited” including the boardwalk, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service “personnel will not be able to provide guidance, assistance, maintenance or emergency response.” Some residents indicated they’d respect the closure but are deeply disappointed. “I go to Kealia Pond boardwalk every day for my walk,” wrote Lisa Morrone Hamman in a post on Facebook, “and with it being closed there

Former journalist Brian Perry

‘TERRIBLE FOR THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH IN OUR SOCIETY’: FORMER MAUI NEWS EMPLOYEES SWITCH TEAMS Two former Maui News employees, Brian Perry and Chris Sugidono, have recently been hired to work within Mayor Mike Victorino’s Communications Office. Former Maui News City Editor Brian Perry now serves as Victorino’s communications director, and former staff writer Chris Sugidono as an assistant communications director alongside Arakawa Administration holdover Ryan Piros. Both Perry and Sugidono covered the 2018 election for the The Maui News, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest if the journalists were eyeing positions within a future administration while responsible for reporting on election campaigns.

“It is quite common for former journalists to work in government or for politicians,” said Ann Auman, a professor at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa School of Communications when I told her about the former journalists’ new jobs.

“You cannot assume that just because these reporters/city editor covered a candidate, that they were involved in the newspaper endorsing that candidate unless you can show that their coverage wasn’t fair and balanced, or they wrote editorials or columns endorsing a candidate… Do you know whether they were ever promised jobs in government?”

In looking at election coverage written by both Perry and Sugidono, I couldn’t find an obvious pattern of unfair reporting (though I would question the headline for Perry’s Sunday, Aug. 18 article, “Not ready for prime time: ‘Ohana candidates unlikely to gain council majority, pundits say”).

“Let me state for the record that there was no collusion between The Maui News and the Victorino administration regarding the hires of Brian and Chris,” Maui News Managing Editor Lee Imada wrote me in an email. Neither Perry nor Sugidono contributed to the Maui News’ endorsement of Mike Victorino for mayor, Imada added, explaining that “Editorials and endorsements of the candidates are the sole purview of Publisher Joe Bradley.”

Likewise, “Perry and Sugidono did not discuss the possibility of employment within the Victorino Administration with anyone prior to the public posting of job applications within the new administration after the General Election,” county spokesperson Ryan Piros said. According to Piros, Perry and Sugidono’s “applications were submitted after the public posting of the then Mayor-elect’s Selection Committee seeking applications within the new administration.”

Still, “This is an eyebrow-raising scenario you outline, for sure,” Brett Oppegaard, an associate professor at University of Hawai‘i at Manoa School of Communications and former Honolulu Civil Beat columnist on media ethics, said. But he added, “this type of shifting is becoming a norm. I would love it if the journalism industry was the most competitive employer in the community, offering high pay and bountiful resources for the reporters to do the stories that a community needs to be done.

“When it’s not, and people can get substantial raises and less stress by switching jobs, then these kinds of job switches will happen, whether we like it or not. I don’t think anybody in the journalism business likes the best people leaving, especially not for the opposite camp, but the economics of

such a decision are difficult to argue against.”

With the migration of journalists to better-paid jobs within government and the private sector becoming a norm, however, “It certainly could be a problem in the future for truth seekers in the community, not so much for anyone in particular, but because these journalists know how the local reporters work, and what their strengths and weaknesses are, they easily could develop strategies for handling each publication in ways that benefit the new mayor and not the local readers of news,” Oppegaard said.

“I don’t like that it happens. I don’t think it’s good for journalism, by any means. In fact, I think it’s terrible for the pursuit of truth in our society, because you have one great performer basically switching teams (like LeBron James switching jerseys at halftime), from aggressively shining light on truth to instead becoming a master shadow puppeteer. But I don’t think this is just a Maui problem.

It’s a journalism problem.”

‘WE’RE NOT HERE TO TALK TO THE PUBLIC’ SAYS COUNCILMEMBER RIKI HOKAMA ON FIRST DAY OF NEW TERM By now it’s no news that things have changed on the top floors of the Kalana O Maui (County) Building. On Jan. 2, Mayor Mike Victorino was inaugurated along with members of the Maui County Council, followed by the first meeting of the new council, which elected Councilmember Kelly King to serve as chair, Keani Rawlins-Fernandez for vice chair, and Tasha Kama as presiding officer pro tempore.

However, in all the hubbub of the firstday, organizational meeting, there was one

comment in particular by Councilmember Riki Hokama that caught my attention during a discussion on the adoption of new rules of the council.

Councilmember Alice Lee motioned to add a provision to rule 25

(“Conduct Relating to Public Meetings”) that would dictate that all councilmembers strive to “Prohibit unruly or disrespectful behavior from the audience and discipline their office staff who may encourage or promote unruly or disrespectful behavior from the audience.”

Some thought this language was too harsh, and could have the effect of chilling public testimony. “I promised our community that I would encourage and promote more government participation, more engagement... I’m afraid that a rule like this would create an environment that would be intimidating and discouraging for our community members to step forward because it’s not easy to get up there on the mic,” said Councilmember Rawlins-Fernandez.

Hokama thought otherwise. “I think this rule supports [councilmembers’] ability to maintain that decorum of the body,” he said.

“We do not conduct business between the members and the gallery. We conduct business between ourselves and our presiding officer, and that is why we face the chair [of the county council, with backs to the public] – we’re conducting official business.

“We’re not here to talk to the public, we’re here to finish the business of the people.”

Wow, spoken like a true public servant. ■ editor@mauitime.com + @axelbeers For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

Joyner credits his tantric training with helping him endure the 120-degree temperatures inside the Barney suit. While “surprised,” Stephen White, former head writer on the show, said he sees Joyner’s new vocation as the “’I love you, you love me’ deal, but different. I don’t judge or anything, but that’s a side of David I didn’t know.”

Rusty (Cat #33B) is a sweet faced gentle giant that’s looking for the chance to start over at almost 11 years old. He was brought to us back in October, yet here he still waits. Rusty was pretty bashful at Ärst, content to care for the unsure new kitties that came in; always there with comforting cuddles. Now after all these months, Rusty is really ready for a family of his own. So if you have room for one more in your ohana, then Rusty would love the chance to Ät right in!

On Jan. 25, 71-year-old Alan J. Abrahamson of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, went for his regular pre-dawn walk to Starbucks.

What happened on the way stumped police investigators until March, reported The Washington Post, and on July 13 they made their findings public. Images from a surveillance camera show Abrahamson walking out of his community at 5:35am and about a half-hour later, the sound of a gunshot is heard. Just before 7am, a dog found Abrahamson’s body, lying near a walking path. Police found no weapon, no signs of a struggle; he still had his wallet and phone. Investigators initially worked the case as a homicide, but as they dug deeper into the man’s computer searches and purchases over the past nine years, a theory developed: Abrahamson had tied a gun to a weather balloon filled with helium, shot himself, and then the gun drifted away to parts unknown. A thin line of blood on Abrahamson’s sweatshirt indicated to police that “something with the approximate width of a string passed through the blood on the outside of the shirt,” the final report says. As for the balloon, investigators said it would likely have ascended to about 100,000 feet and exploded somewhere north of the Bahamas in the Atlantic Ocean.

PEOPLE DIFFERENT FROM US Metro News reported on Feb. 20 that travelers “remained silent” for 20 minutes while a fellow passenger on a Ural Airlines flight from Antalya, Turkey, to Moscow used the air vent above her seat to dry a pair of underwear. Witnesses reported that the woman showed no shame and that “everybody was looking with interest and confusion.” Debate raged later, however, after video of the woman was posted online, with one commenter speculating that “maybe the takeoff was sort of extreme, so now she has to dry those.”

NEW WORLD ORDER Taisei Corp., a construction company based in Tokyo, announced in Decem-

ber 2017 that it would use autonomous drones called T-Frends to combat karoshi, or overwork death, reported The Independent. The drones hover over desks of employees who have stayed at work too long and blast “Auld Lang Syne,” a tune commonly used in Japanese shops getting ready to close. A company statement said: “It will encourage employees who are present at the drone patrol time to leave, not only to promote employee health but also to conduct internal security management.” Experts are skeptical: Scott North, professor of sociology at Osaka University, told the BBC that “to cut overtime hours, it is necessary to reduce workloads.”

DON’T TOUCH THAT MAGAZINE Ikea took advertising in a whole new direction with its print ad for a crib. The ad, which appeared in the Swedish magazine Amelia, invited women who think they might be pregnant to urinate on the paper to reveal a discounted price. “Peeing on this ad may change your life,” the ad read at the top of the page. “If you are expecting, you will get a surprise right here in the ad.” Adweek reported that the agency behind the gimmick adapted pregnancy test technology to work on a magazine page.

WAIT, WHAT? Police in Mainz, Germany, responded to an apartment building after cries were heard from within one unit early on Feb. 17, The Associated Press reported. When they arrived, officers found two men, the 58-year-old tenant and a 61-year-old visitor, “hopelessly locked up” with a mannequin dressed as a knight and a large remote-controlled car. The men were too drunk to explain how they had become entangled, and one officer remarked that “the whole thing would have remained a funny episode” if the younger man had not become “more than impolite.” He now faces a charge of insulting officers.

NEWS THAT SOUNDS LIKE A JOKE In Turkmenistan’s capital, Ashgabat, drivers of black cars faced high costs to repaint their cars white or silver after President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov banned black vehicles because he thinks the color white brings good luck. Police began seizing darkcolored vehicles in late December 2017, and owners had to apply for permission to repaint and re-register them. The average wage in Ashgabat is about $300 a month (or 1,200 manats); one Turkman told Radio Free Europe that he was quoted 7,000 manats for a paint job, but was told that the price would rise within a week to 11,000 manats.

“Even if I don’t spend any money anywhere, I will be forced to hand over pretty much my entire annual salary just to repaint,” the unnamed man said, adding that his black car had already been impounded. ■

tanding on the blustery cliff overlooking the Point at Ho‘okipa on a perfect Maui day, I watched as Sarah Hauser launched her rig at the water’s edge. Wetsuit-clad and hefting her windsurf gear – a board with attached mast, boom, and colorful sail – she paused briefly, taking stock of the conditions. Hopping deftly from the sand to her board, she fit her feet into the straps, caught a gust of wind and was off, picking up speed through the whitewash.

Hauser’s colorful wing began to charge toward the outside. The waves were twice the height of her sail, and about three times her height.

Hauser, a world-class windsurfer with a lilting French accent and a kind smile, has been turning heads for years with her powerful windsurfing and bravery in the face of daunting waves, all the more impressive because of her small-

12 JANUARY 10, 2019

ish 5-feet-4-inch stature. Last November, Hauser competed in the Maui Aloha Classic windsurfing competition and won the women’s division for the second year in a row, taking home the title on the International Windsurfing Tour and solidifying her place as one of the top waterwomen in the world.

Born and raised in New Caledonia in the southwest Pacific, Hauser is pretty unique in the world of professional windsurfing because of her unusual path.

She got a late start on the competitive circuit in order to complete college, but soon after defied conventional wisdom and a sure path to orthodox success in the field of engineering. Hauser made the move to Maui with a dream and a hefty work ethic, and in doing so became a world champion.

“It feels pretty good!” Hauser told me when we sat down to talk about her

win and her journey to get there. “It was double pressure this year for me, because I won last year (but a different title), and there was also the overall title for the windsurfing tour. The only way I had a chance to win the overall title was by winning this event.” On a rainy Pa‘ia morning, we met at Charley’s for some coffee, breakfast, and a wide-ranging conversation about her New Caledonia roots, why she can charge such big waves, the status of women in watersports, her documentary Girl on Wave, and some of her service projects.

Hauser did not always see the straightforward path to windsurfing success.

“I surfed my first wave when I was 15 and I just fell in love with it,” she told me. “Something clicked, and I could see myself pursuing that passion, to see if I could compete and make a career out of it. But windsurfing is a very small in-

dustry, so my parents encouraged me to study and at the time, I didn’t really have the guidance to go out on my own, so I went to school for five years.” At 23, she decided to take a chance.

Hauser’s story inspired a documentary, Girl on Wave, that describes the risk and uncertainties – and ultimately the power – of giving up her secure day job to pursue professional windsurfing. When she was working remotely for a Californiabased startup, Hauser met Steven Esparza, who ended up directing and producing the film. “He told me, ‘This is so cool what you do, I want to make a film about you.’ I was like, ‘yeah right.’ So I stopped working for the company to refocus on competing, and he called me and said, ‘We’re doing it, I’m coming.’ He said, ‘I’ve been working at corporate jobs for five years but it’s my dream to make a documentary. And I want to make it about you

contest organizers weren’t controlling the weather, of course, just calling the contest – by the time it was the women’s turn, the waves were wilder and the wind picked up as the waves closed out across the bay. Consequently, performance suffered, with one competitor unable to make it through the whitewash to the outside.

Windsurfing, surfing’s less popular cousin, isn’t an easy path for an aspiring female professional. “There’s not many of us,” Hauser said. “The sport being a small industry, there’s usually big gaps between the pay for men and women. It’s really hard to do it as a woman. I have so many friends who did it for a few years and had to stop because they have jobs on the side. Me too. It was just recently, a year ago, I found a sponsor who could support me. It’s still really hard for other people, and I lived the life before when you need a side job, and you’re exhausted because you’re working, then you have to train because of big waves.

“

– I’m coming.’ And he came.”

The film depicts her decision to move to Maui, bunk up with roommates in Ku‘au, and work several side jobs to fund her competitive windsurfing ambitions.

The film’s cinematography beautifully illustrates the power, grace, and athleticism of windsurfing along with Hauser’s story.

At one point in the film, in talking about Hauser’s strength in the water, a fellow professional says that “her bottom turn is as powerful as many mens’.” I asked Hauser about this, and the status of women’s windsurfing, especially in light of the fact that pay equality in women’s surfing has been getting so much press.

Hauser eloquently digressed on her ideas about the connection between ability, exposure, money, and athletic progression.

“The truth is, in most sports, there is a gap in performance between men and women,” said Hauser. “But the better the industry is, the smaller the gap is. You get something like tennis, for example,

“

The sport being a small industry, there’s usually big gaps between the pay for men and women. It’s really hard to do it as a woman.

- Sarah Hauser

Hauser’s story inspired the documentary Girl on Wave

and the women are killing it, with speeds that are as close as the mens’. But then you look at an industry that is not doing as well, and the gap is way bigger, because when it comes to money, getting paid, which helps you train, which helps you be good at it – the women are the ones that take the biggest hit. You see it in surfing: As the industry has progressed, the level has progressed. I truly believe it’s strongly connected.”

It’s a great point. Along similar lines, at the Aloha Classic, the competition began with perfect conditions and the men were sent out. Perhaps not intentionally – the

“Windsurfing used to be very big in the ‘80s and ‘90s; people had big contracts and money, and we don’t really know why but the attention of the sport has been going down. Maybe because there are so many sports that have come out. So it’s not like surfing, which has slowly been growing and growing, and they added a big-wave event for the women, and there is equal prize money. Overall it’s a slow progression for women.

“There is a new generation of younger girls following in my steps, and I followed the steps of the girls before me, and it’s growing, but at a slow pace, and

Underwater strength training

we make efforts and know that it might not have an effect until the next generation or maybe the next.”

One of Hauser’s hallmark attributes is her ability to take on formidable conditions, charging huge waves. Hauser has taken on Pe‘ahi (Jaws) and continues to push the boundaries in huge Ho‘okipa winter swells, despite the fact that she never surfed a wave until she was 15-yearsold. Growing up on New Caledonia, she spent lots of time in and around the ocean, but New Caledonia is an island surrounded by a massive barrier reef. Waves break against the outer reef miles away and not on the shore like Maui. “The island is surrounded by a large barrier reef all around the island, and it’s 18 miles from the shore.

So on the shore, you never see waves. It’s totally calm,” Hauser said.

I asked her how someone goes from flat lagoon to charging scary waves. “The few times I went out in New Caledonia, the waves were very powerful and big, because they’re reef waves. Outer reef waves are Fiji-type waves, they break on sharp reefs and they usually only work when it’s 10 feet, or not – so all or nothing. So I thought, this is what surfing is like.” Having no other option, she learned on the big powerful waves crashing on a razor-sharp reef.

A well-rounded athlete, Hauser is also proficient in surfing, stand-up paddling, and foilboarding, and trains hard to be competition-ready. “Training fascinates me, maybe because I am so small, and I need to concentrate on what I can do in the water. I’m in the gym all the time; I’m training all the time. Maybe because I’m smaller, it gets me really fascinated about personal training. When you put the work in to get stronger, there are just so many things you can do.”

In addition to her windsurfing success, Hauser also has a lot of heart, and dedicates time to volunteering and committing herself to helping others. “It’s the right thing to do,” she said. She started the Trashy Selfie Project with surfer Paige Alms, where they encourage social media users to take selfies with plastic and trash found on the beach and tag it with #trashyselfie as a way of promoting awareness about pollution. “If you have time to take a selfie at the beach, you have time to pick up some plastic. That way, we can raise awareness in a fun way. That’s a fun project we do.”

Last year, she worked on a project in

Peru to bring water filters to people with the Women & Water Project “to empower younger women through surfing and media workshops, and bring water filters to the town.” Through her campaign she raised $1,500.

As we chatted about service, surfing, and her journey, what struck me about Hauser is her humble attitude and her wish to impact those beyond herself, both in her projects and in her hope that other people will be inspired to live their dreams. “I was told to live a safe life,” Hauser says in the opening scenes of Girl on Wave. Good thing she didn’t. ■ editor@mauitime.com For more surfing articles, visit: mauitime.com/surf-sports

says Heller. “You have this excessive method director Frank. He is over-the-top eccentric…

As you see in the show, it is very physical, I am throwing myself all around the stage. I regained that sense of comedy within my body.

Taking yourself out of the musical world.You have to really listen and not just wait to sing a song – really listening and timing for the comedy. The writing is there, you have to be on the ball so you don’t miss it. It’s using your entire body to tell a part of the story.”

Galvan also appreciated the chance to work with Taua again as a director.

“There are little moments that Francis has brought out in me and my character,” says Galvan. “Little ideas that come to life.

It’s collaborative. Maui is such a great place for learning your craft. It’s less pressure than other communities. ” Taua knows that audiences will be able to relate to “It’s Only a Play,” and personally just wants us all to have a well-deserved, good laugh.

“Mostly I would love audiences to start the year off with a much deserved laugh at ourselves,” says Taua. “Everyone will either be able to relate to or recognize at least one character on the stage if not more. There are so many name drops and hysterical sight gags with the variety of coats that come and go with references to the casts of everything from ‘Hamilton’ to ‘Aladdin,’ and the cast of ‘Matilda’ being made out to seem like a ruffian street gang run amok.

It’s a fun night that I feel is much needed in the world. If we can spend the night laughing at each other and come out of it closer and with a renewed sense of championing the arts as the precious gem that it is, then I think we’ll have started the year off on the right foot.” ■ jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso For more A&E stories, visit: mauitime.com/entertainment

hat happens when the theater is making fun of the theater? You get the hilarious “It’s Only a Play” by Terrence McNally, opening on Friday at ProArts Maui. If it sounds familiar, it’s because this production was on Broadway in 2014 starring Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane. The characters – an actor, a playwright, a television star, an Oscarwinning diva, a critic, and a director – all have their chance to go over the top in this quick-paced and physical comedy. I talk to the Director Francis Taua about his pick for the 2019 season at ProArts Maui, and the actors that bring this comedy to life. “’It’s Only A Play’ is about as close to an American farce as you can get, with entrances and exits from over-the-top characters that are oddly human and relatable,” says Taua. “Fast-paced, quick-witted, ‘Who’s On First’-style comedy with heart.

It takes place in the bedroom of a townhouse apartment on the upper west side of Manhattan on the opening night of a new Broadway play. The director, the producer, the playwright, the playwright’s actor friend, the star of the show, the hired boy taking coats for the party, and even a theater critic are all eagerly awaiting the first of the reviews to start rolling in as different casts from different Broadway shows are partying downstairs.”

Taua was drawn to McNally’s inner voice in the show.

“Terrence McNally has a relentless wit about him but it isn’t without something important to say,” says Taua. “Amidst the lunacy and definitive skewers of theater per-

sonalities, there is a yearning and a simple plea to preserve the American play... amidst Broadway’s ever increasing affinity for movie to stage musicals and ‘star vehicles.’”

Taua also says the play practically directs itself.

“McNally is so particular in his descriptions and text that he practically directs the play for you,” says Taua. “Each character has actions and stage business so specific to their archetypes that it all comes down to casting the right people for the roles and unleashing them on each other. My job with this production was to give them traffic patterns and stay out of their way. This cast is genius.”

John Galvan plays the part of Peter Austin, the playwright of ‘The Golden Egg,’ and it’s his opening night on Broadway.

“I am very concerned about how my play will be received by the critics,” Galvan says about his character. “I am kind of like, very emotional, insecure, seeking to please everyone, but at the same time, I just want to be recognized for the work that I have done. Everyone else around me is kind of being hilarious, and outrageous. I am kind of the anchor, the heart of the play. My job is to portray the part of the story that is the serious overtone of the play, this desperate plea for the theater not to give up or sell out. I have a monologue. It’s our job to show the world that Broadway is more than just celebrity roles, special effects, and revivals. I love that about my character.”

The role of James “Jimmy” Wicker is played by David Belew who knew from the get go he wanted to do this part in the play. Belew has seen both the Broadway and the off-Broadway versions of “It’s Only a Play” and loves both versions. He couldn’t wait to take on the script to play the ultimate hypocrite.

“Jimmy thinks of himself as very funny,” Belew says. “He has enjoyed great success and made a lot of money over the last few years, but he is still very competitive with Peter and he is really hoping the play does not succeed.

Why would it succeed without him? He is the actor that is out for Jimmy above all else.

He is outrageously gay but he plays down to do his TV series, but it comes out when he is around theater people. He is flamboyant, he dominates the room, and thinks very highly of himself and his abilities.”

Comic relief is obvious in the form of Kathy Collin’s portrayal of Virginia Noyes, the diva in the play, whose star is starting to fade.

“This is one of the most fun roles I have had,” says Collins. “Virginia Noyes, basically she is an aging diva. She has an Oscar but is kind of washed up. She comes back to New York to star in a play written by a friend, the playwright. I love this woman. Throughout the whole show she has an ankle monitor.

The script never quite explains what she did wrong, but she did something. She has to check in with the parole officer. She is a whole lot of fun. She has a really dirty mouth, but basically she does have a kind heart down in there somewhere; past the huge ego, there is a vulnerable little girl in there, somewhere.

With Virginia I get to flesh out the madness of being an actress. I do so much storytelling and family entertainment that I relish the chance to say a bunch of F-words and C-words on stage.

It’s fun. It is liberating.”

The director of “The Golden Egg,” the play within our play, is Frank Fingers, played by Logan Heller.

“My favorite character to watch is Logan’s character, Frank,” says Galvan. “He is neurotic and crazy; everybody thinks he is great and praises his productions but really he feels like the emperor with no clothes. He knows he is a fake and doesn’t know why everybody likes his shit.”

Heller describes Frank Fingers as really fun character that brought him back to his roots in physical comedy.

“What I love about this whole show is taking actual personalities that you would find in the theater world and heightening them,”

orn in ancient Polynesia, the act of wave riding has been intriguing and inspiring for centuries. The Hawaiians, gifted in the ocean beyond measure, reveled in the art of surfing, or he‘e nalu (literally: wave sliding). Since Western contact,

the sport has inspired fantastical artistic renditions. Early illustrations, sometime depicting dubious physics, quickly gave way to the culture and cult of surfing as the sport spread across the Pacific to California and beyond, while keeping its foundation rooted firmly in the islands.

This sport of kings, which represents immense technical skill, bravery, and joy, is an art form in itself.

This winter season, a new exhibit at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center seeks to explore the nature of surfing as an art form. Surfing Hawai‘i, an exhibit featuring the multimedia works of a variety of artists (many who are surfers themselves), is gracing the halls of the Schaefer International Gallery through Feb. 17. The exhibit explores the layered meanings of surfing in Hawai‘i through time, and how those meanings have intersected with art.

Artists have created multidisciplinary art to contemplate and explore the themes

Duke Kahanamoku and Friends at Waikiki Beach during WWII

of surfing. They include a group of accomplished artists from Hawai‘i, including Carol Bennett (Kaua‘i), Pete Cabrinha (Maui), Peter Shepard Cole (O‘ahu), Mark Cunningham (O‘ahu), Charlie Lyon (Maui), Wayne Levin (Hawai‘i), and Noble Richardson (Maui). The history of surfing is explored, including the Native Hawaiian connection to the ocean and he‘e nalu.

The evolution of surfing is also explored through the lens of the heavy dose of tourism and commercialism. Beyond paintings, there are surfboard collections, vintage artifacts, and other materials straight from the salty archives of history.

I swung by the exhibit on a quiet, sunny afternoon to check it out. “Each of these pieces was created just for this,” the docent told me as she pointed me to the start of the exhibit. The diverse work was comprised of varied elements in the form of classic surfboards, bronze sculptures, portraits, and modernist takes on surfing.

The display begins with surfing’s origins: papahe‘e nalu, wooden surfboards crafted by Tom Pohaku Stone, a skilled and respected waterman. His remarkable classical boards are made from woods like ‘ulu and uma, with long archetypal shapes and gleaming polished grain. Displays with Hawaiian legends and historic photos add depth and insight to the display.

The exhibit winds somewhat chronologically through the gallery, coming to contemporary themes with striking images of modern greats displayed alongside the expressive surfers of Noble Richardson’s portraits. Peter Shepard Cole’s seascapes – fluid, peaceful and powerful – highlight the striking beauty of the ocean while contrasting with the kitschy elements resulting from the boom and commercialization of surfing. Mark Cunningham’s found-object display of touristy board shorts, barnacleencrusted snapped leashes, and a starburst of discarded plastic fins provide a haunting realist’s take on the downsides of the popularity of surfing.

As Hawai‘i evolved to incorporate new elements, so too does the art: It moves on to the modernist approach of Carol Bennett and ends where it began, with Pete Cabrinha’s distinctive multimedia style that layers the modern and the historic.

Throughout January, there will be a few events related to the exhibit, both hosted at the McCoy Studio Theater. On Jan. 10 at 7pm, there will be a showing of the historic film The Essence followed up by a question-and-answer session with groundbreaking athletes like Paige Alms and Kai Lenny.

There will also be two lectures on Sunday, Jan. 27 from 2-4pm. The first, “Women and Legends of Surfing” will be hosted

by Maui-native and Hawaiian language and culture educator, Pulama Collier. The lecture will focus on elements of spirituality

in surfing and stories about Native Hawaiian women and surfing. The other lecture, “Selling Hawai‘i with Surfing, 1880 to 1980,” by author and historian DeSoto Brown, will focus on Hawaiian surfing symbolism as represented in historic advertising and pop culture.

The exhibit speaks to our fascination with the act of wave riding that

has been enthralling thrill seekers and spectators for centuries.

'Can You Ever Forgive Me?' Straightforward filmmaking makes for a compelling and performance-driven actor’s showcase ★★★★★

Rated R / 106 Min.

20 JANUARY 10, 2019

PHOTO COURTESY IMDB

ee Israel was a real person, a oncepromising writer who turned to forging famous letters in order to pay her bills. More to the point, Israel enjoyed her highly illegal practice of composing letters from famous, deceased authors (like Dorothy Parker), as she was being paid for work that was highly scrutinized and doted after. Suddenly, her words were worth hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars, even as they were replications of far more established literary legends. Israel knew what she was doing was wrong but, for the first time, experienced the kind of success that had always eluded her. After all, if she had no voice as a writer, was it wrong to use the words of dead authors in order to pay for her cat’s medication?

Melissa McCarthy plays Israel as single, lonely, and caustic, a writer in a dry spell living in a filthy New York apartment with her cat. Israel’s initial attempt at composing fake letters leads to a realization that there’s a demand for such items, causing Israel to become prolific and especially good at tapping into the inner voices of her literary heroes. Her biggest mistake: letting Jack Hock (played by Richard E. Grant), a local barfly and her only friend, in on her scam.

Can You Ever Forgive Me? is drab and straightforward in its filmmaking and visual design. This is performance-driven and compelling as a character study and actor’s showcase. It’s encouraging, even a little exhilarating, to see McCarthy suc-

Let's sell some forgeries!

ceed in a dramatic role after witnessing her walk through one bad comedic vehicle after another. Coming after a movie where she snorts drugs with foul-mouthed hand puppets, her take on Israel is not only a return to form but represents her best screen work since St. Vincent.

A date scene, where Israel awkwardly attempts to reach out to a bookstore clerk (movingly played by Dolly Wells), offers some of the best acting McCarthy has done to date. As strong as McCarthy is, the film is stolen by Grant. His spectacular turn steals the film, as Grant’s flamboyantly irresponsible, unpredictable character gives the film a jolt every time he appears.

The screenplay by Nicole Holfcener and Jeff Whitty can only go so deep in exploring the inner workings of these

real-life characters, but McCarthy and Grant evoke the hostile distance and vulnerability of their characters. Can You Ever Forgive Me holds our attention, even as the presentation by director Marielle Heller is awfully simple. Once the situation is established, it’s clear where the film is going and what points it needs to check off before concluding. Yet, as reallife crime tales go, this one has enough bitter humor, oddball touches (like the use of Israel’s cat as a dramatic device), and surprising dramatic power to matter.

In addition to the two leads being so strong (and Wells injecting much needed humanity), Anna Deavere Smith’s terrific cameo appearance leaves a rich impression. While he’s guilty of directing too many of McCarthy’s failed screen ve-

hicles, character actor Ben Falcone (who is married to McCarthy) is wonderful in the role of an authenticator who Israel unwisely crosses. McCarthy’s final scene with Grant is a quietly powerful master class (so is her bit with Deavere Smith on a park bench).

Can You Ever Forgive Me? is perhaps too tame to evoke comparison to the best films about practiced imposters (Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can is a masterful take on the subject). Still, it’s great to see McCarthy and the always enjoyable Grant find the core of their sad but fascinating characters. Its best scenes leave a bruise.

Can You Ever Forgive Me? is showing Saturday, Jan. 12 at 10:30am and on Wednesday, Jan 16 at 7:30pm, for Regency Kihei Cinemas Indie Film Days. ■

F Sign Language O L L O W US!

by Caeriel Crestin

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

Things have gotten much too complicated to bother with anymore, haven’t they? Why not just throw your hands in the air, let it go, and walk away? Screw that.

Let’s not forget the fact that this situation won’t disappear that easily. Let’s also recall that a while back you decided (correctly) that the path you’re on is the right one for you, even if it’s hard. Luckily, there’s a way to look at all of this that will allow you to move forward without feeling knotted in a hopeless tangle of complications. It might require a dramatic shift in perspective. However, I reckon that even if getting a better angle on the situation is difficult, it’d still be easier and more desirable than escaping it.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

You prefer being consistent in certain ways (and wildly unpredictable in others). However, it’s not in the stars for you to be a paragon of reliability this week. There are too many extraneous factors for you to keep track or control of. Do your best, but don’t be too hard on yourself when you have to make exceptions to what are normally hard and fast rules.

Your rep as a dependable rock (though one prone to occasional exciting earthquakes and explosions) may suffer ever so slightly, but never fear; you’ll have many chances to repair it in February.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

You have a fascinating relationship to change. Sometimes you play the catalyst of revolution, and surf tsunamis of turbulent transformation with gleeful abandon. Other times you sense the tide turning and you run for the hills, strapping on the status quo like a pair of swim floaties. No one – least of all me – can accurately predict how you’ll react to the choppy waters of change. However, you could do us a favor and clue us in to what you’ll do this time around – especially those who actually share your day-to-day life. A warning or assurance regarding which way you’ll sail when the winds shift would be mighty nice right about now.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

A week into 2019 and you’re already disappointed. I get it. You thought things would be different by now, but let’s face it: Although you made some effort, you didn’t work that hard to manifest change in your life.

However, it’s not too late. If you get your ass in gear right now, January won’t be a total wash. I mean today. Wait another day and you might as well wait a month, or a year, or ten years. When is it that you’ll actually move forward with your plans? How long have you already waited? Only you can decide how much longer you’ll keep waiting. If it were up to me, you’d have put your plan into action yesterday.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Relax. As much as you can, just chill out. I know you like to be prepared, but some things you simply can’t practice ahead of time. You just have to do the best you can, the first and only time they happen. There are milestones like this throughout your life – losing your virginity, having a baby, and, eventually, dying.

Stop angsting about them. You can’t effectively anticipate or practice these things. You just have to roll with them whenever they occur. You’ve done all the prepwork you can for whatever’s on the horizon.

Now you just have to wait for it to happen, and try not to have a nervous breakdown in the meantime.

Go take a bath. You’ll be fine.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

You’re definitely over-thinking things. (What else is new?) Instead of endlessly fretting about and planning around a hopelessly complex “what if” scenario (that hasn’t even happened yet, mind you), relax. Assume everything will play out as simply as it possibly could, even if that seems highly unlikely to you. Prepare for that, no more. Even if it doesn’t work out that painlessly, your improvisations at the time will be far more elegant and successful than whatever painstaking measures you may have taken beforehand. Keep it simple; it’s easier, less stressful, and it’ll work better.

Horoscope

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Hey, could I have five bucks? No? Fine. Just don’t get pissed off that I asked, since you’ll likely be hit up for a lot this week, by friends and strangers. Many people have no qualms about asking for shit they have no right to, or deluding themselves that it’s theirs by right. You know better, but don’t hate them for not being as smart as you.

You learned your lesson by stepping over lines and having your wrist slapped (or occasionally worse). See if you can gently pass along the same wisdom this week.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Stop saying no to stuff. Having clearly defined boundaries is great, but you’ve been defending them rather habitually of late, and rather too zealously. Try to be more flexible. It’s nice to bend the rules for those you love; they certainly do it for you more frequently than you care to admit. The next time someone asks you for something that’s over a line you’ve drawn, don’t say, “No,” automatically. Consider what it would cost you (in the short- and long-term) to make this one small concession. I think you’ll find the price is one that’s very easy to bear, and the potential rewards too great to pass up.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Just when I think you’ve gotten over the worrying habit, you come up with some preposterous new anxiety to fret about. Fine. What you do inside your own head is your own business, naturally. However, once you start letting it dictate your actions, it’s time for an intervention.

Hopefully your friends are inviting you over for one right now, but just in case they’re not, I’ll do my best from here. Some of the measures you’re taking are as outlandish as refusing to drink water because you’re afraid of drowning. Stop that shit. Drink the damn water, and quit curbing your actions based on irrational fears.

808.419.1626

EXOTICEYETATTOO@GMAIL.COM

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Do you live in terror of germs? Probably not. You’ve found that reasonable caution (washing your hands once in a while, using condoms, etc) will do for the most part to keep you safe. Your healthy attitude regarding bacteria and viruses is laudable, but it makes me even more surprised by your extreme paranoia regarding something even smaller and harder to pin down (or inoculate yourself against) than germs: ideas. There’s only so much you can (or should) do to protect yourself against those. If, after all, your own philosophies deteriorate when presented with somebody else’s viewpoint, perhaps it wasn’t that solid to begin with. Rather than trying to protect weak, crumbling foundations from the erosive forces of critical thought, perhaps you should think about building them anew, on more solid ground.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Can you be part of a team, Scorpio? Usually, you prefer to play the loner and do your own thing. That strategy doesn’t work so well when forced to join a group, though. Even if you contribute your all, you have to be careful; if people think that whatever you’re doing makes them look like lazy slobs, they won’t thank you for it, even if it makes the group more successful overall. I’m not suggesting you gimp yourself in order to make your sorry collaborators look better, but this week please see how you can give a lot to the group without taking anything away from them, especially not their pride.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

To most people you’re a doer, not a dreamer. You and I know the truth, though. When it comes to implementing bold plans that don’t require anything more from you than hopping on a plane or into bed with someone, you’re ace. Things that require more time, commitment, patience, and consistency, however, tend to get put on the backburner forever. We both know what I’m talking about – the unwritten screenplays, abandoned workout regimes, undelivered proposals, and so on.

Darling, the back burner has so many things on it by now that it can’t possibly keep even half of them warm.

It’s time to pull at least one of those long-delayed projects to the forefront and at last, finally make it happen.
