Ryon Paton

T

here’s an old joke: How do porcupines make love? Very, very carefully. Well, a delegation from Maui’s newest and biggest landowner Mahi Pono participated in a quills a-quivering meeting last week with an estimated 50 members of the Alliance of Maui Community Associations.

The MP posse included parent company Pomona Farming’s big dog Ryon Paton, on island for another round of meet-andgreets, senior vice president of operations Shan Tsutsui, consultant Sean Lester, and booster Tiare Lawrence (I say “booster” because the issue of whether she is actually employed by MP remained unanswered at press time). Not present: MP president Ann Chin. The group was invited to the association’s monthly meeting at the Kaunoa Senior Center in Spreckelsville.

Those who attended said the delegation’s hour-long appearance at the twohour meeting had its ups and downs.

Members from community associations around the island wished them well but also pressed hard for details on the December $262 million sale of – well, we’re not exactly sure how many acres there are at this point, more on that shortly – former Alexander & Baldwin sugarcane land and East Maui watershed to MP. MP is the result of a joint venture between California agricultural investment company Pomona Farming and Canada’s Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments).

The media was specifically not invited to this meeting; organizers worried that the press might inhibit participants and reduce

the San Joaquin Valley and was directly involved in the merger with PSP Investments.

Perhaps the Canadian pension fund is playing a more active role than merely banker.

Other unclarified issues: There are no estimates of water use. No maps of the exact parcels purchased were provided or discussed. The land hasn’t been allocated yet for specific crops. Questions about disputed titles to Hawaiian lands remain questions.

“I think they need to have a real sense that there is a deep hurt in the Hawaiian community over that land and the water,” de Naie reflected. “If they want to be successful, it’s part of [Mahi Pono’s] kuleana to reach out and get people talking about it and find out if there’s any solutions on the horizon.”

There was at least one definite “no.” That was the answer when an attendee asked if MP would be willing to put all of its acquired land into a conservation easement to show good faith regarding its no-development promise.

Paton reportedly replied that the pension fund

the Important Agricultural Lands.”

Kihei Community Association president Mike Moran commended Mahi Pono representatives for even showing up. “There have been lots of developers who would never have bothered.”

But Moran echoed the sentiments expressed by others when he said of Paton, who did most of the talking at the meeting, “He didn’t seem so well-informed about Maui. Maybe I was expecting too much, but if he was going to do all the talking, maybe he should have been better prepared. I hope he’ll give it another shot as he learns more.

We all want it to succeed.”

Moran also wasn’t thrilled by the crops mentioned. “How much coffee are they going to grow? It’s not food. It can’t sustain us.”

It didn’t sound like coffee, cattle, and citrus were at the forefront of Mahi Pono’s meeting with Mayor Michael Victorino last week.

“Squash, cabbage, and corn,” were the

candid discussion. So I relied on notes taken during the meeting, as well as input from those who attended, some for attribution, others on background.

Among the big headlines: MP intends to plant coffee and citrus, and raise cattle (which had been revealed during meetings with various politicians this past month, but not publicly until now). The company has already brought in “the best citrus experts in the world” from Sunkist, who said the land is “very suitable” for citrus.

West Maui coffee grower Kimo Falconer was mentioned as someone who will be involved in MP’s coffee operations.

Mahi Pono plans to invest in a slaughterhouse (a revelation that isn’t going over well with local animal rights activists, judging from online discussions). It plans to develop “superfoods.”

There will be opportunities for farmers. It will look into new uses for old cane haul roads. It will create a processing, packaging, distribution center that might be available to the public. It will provide lots of jobs. There will be better “food security.”

By the time the operation is up and running, the Mahi Pono investment could run as high as $600 million (including the purchase price).

Those were the high points. The low points? That the high points didn’t have much in the way of details.

“About half the people thought, ‘Gosh, this is a new opportunity, a new chance.

Let’s work with these guys and see if we can make this a reality,’” said Ha‘iku Community Association president Lucienne de Naie after the meeting. “The others felt that the hard questions weren’t being answered, and their trust level wasn’t very high.”

De Naie’s personal opinion: “They didn’t know much about what they had bought.”

Which brings us to a prime example: the acreage. When moderator Dick Mayer introduced the Mahi Pono group, he mentioned the 41,000 acres of farmland and 15,000 acres of watershed purchased. Tsutsui, according to those who were there, corrected him and said the total acreage was 40,000. Then Paton corrected Tsutsui, saying the total acreage was 60,000.

Afterwards, Mayer reflected, “That struck me as very odd.”

So at this point, I guess we should just say that Mahi Pono owns a big ol’ mess of land in Central Maui until it can clarify matters.

There were other unknowns. At one point, Paton said he couldn’t make major commitments on most issues without consulting with higher-ups. Who would that be? Paton was one of the founders of Trinitas Partners, which started the company’s whole agricultural investment ball rolling in

wouldn’t go for it, but he didn't explain why.

And speaking of PSP Investments, much remains unclear about the intentions of the venture’s financial backer. Paton and others continue to emphasize that PSP’s investment is long-term and not dependent on instant income – so called “patient money.” That concerned Pa‘ia businessman Martin Brass, who used to work on Wall Street in mergers and acquisitions. He vigorously questioned Paton about those statements during the meeting.

“I hope they can pull this off, but there’s no such thing as free money,” Brass explained in an interview last week. “It’s an ambitious effort that has many risks to it. If this project can’t generate a return at some point in the future, there will be some manager whose compensation is based on this portfolio and if this [Mahi Pono] part isn’t performing… they’re going to get rid of it.”

That, in Brass’ opinion, “is probably the biggest risk of everything being discussed, that at some point [the land] could go back on the block, with uncertain protections for

potential Mahi Pono crops Victorino mentioned during an interview with KAOI’s Jack Gist, although he added that nothing had been finalized. “It gives me a lot of hope that we will see green fields out there again, raising edible crops.”

Victorino said he was “really, really excited” by the possibility of a collaboration between Mahi Pono and Maui County.

However, like many of the people who attended the community association meeting, Victorino also expressed “apprehension. Like I told them… the proof is in the pudding. I’m watching. Everybody’s watching. Be careful what you say because we’ll hold your feet to the fire.”

MP’s Tsutsui did not respond to a request for comment on this meeting, or on many other questions submitted to him by MauiTime since the December 20 sale. ■ deborah@mauitime.com For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

Don’t hate the playa, hate the game

RIKI HOKAMA, PARLIAMENTARIAN A friend of mine calls Councilmember Riki Hokama (Lana‘i) by a Trumpian nickname: “Tricky Riki.” The name, this person would say, has been earned over the councilmember’s many years of service at the council, but one entanglement at last week’s director-confirmation hearing for acting Prosecuting Attorney J.D. Kim shows why the nickname stuck – and why the same person who coined the nickname concedes, “Well, he’s a good parliamentarian.”

While the confirmation session stretched into the sixth hour on the night of Jan. 30, tensions rose as the writing began to appear on the wall regarding Kim’s disapproval (at a later meeting Government, Ethics, and Transparency Committee Chair Councilmember Mike Molina remarked that a well-fed councilmember is a happy councilmember – maybe they all just needed a Snickers), and Hokama tried to pull a great “trick” – the kind that years of practiced parliamentary procedure will teach you.

It started with a bit of procedural confusion after the motion to disapprove the nomination of J.D. Kim passed the GET Committee by a vote of 5-4.

“Do we move to file this one?” Council Chair Kelly King asked Molina after it was announced that the disapproval passed to the County Council for a final vote.

“I think we need to file the disapproval as well; don’t we file that after we make the vote, or no?” King continued.

“The motion to disapprove passed 5-4,” legislative analyst Shelly Espeleta responded.

Entertaining a motion to file the disapproval was puzzling because when the council “files” a resolution it means, essentially, that it is being killed. Passing a recommendation to file a resolution that just won support would be a step backwards, especially after hours of the confirmation process.

“Can we file? Maybe file?” Molina asked.

Riki Hokama, parliamentarian, saw his moment. With a couple of non-verbal eye-

brow raises towards Molina, the motion to file the disapproval resolution was entertained and seconded “Well, she just said that we don’t file resolutions,” King interjected.

“That is the power of this committee to recommend to council, and since the chair [King] brought it up, I agree with her and I make the motion to file it,” Hokama said smugly when the committee resumed after a recess to clarify procedural matters.

Councilmember Yuki Lei Sugimura quickly seconded the motion.

“We don’t want to file it if we want to move forward,” King responded. “In my opinion, we’re done. If we take additional action on this than we’re basically killing it.”

“If you file the motion that just passed, you’re undoing the motion that you just did,” Deputy Corporation Counsel Edward Kushi advised.

King fleshed out the procedure. “Right now we have a recommendation to disapprove at the council level. We have no recommendation to approve, that’s been filed. I think what is trying to be done is to undo what we just did. So why would we do that?” she asked. “I speak against the motion… We can vote on it and just vote it down but it’s a little disingenuous to undo what we just did as a committee.”

“We provide a recommendation to council and the council will make a final determination.” Hokama shot back. “Stating that, chairman, I expect those that take leadership positions to know our rules and regulations and how we proceed with the business of the county. To ask this type of question in this type of meeting, in a confirmation, tells me where we are in understanding the process – and I’m disappointed.”

“I am very disappointed at the disingenuous attempt to kill the motion we just passed from somebody who claims to know the process and is using the process against this council,” King retorted. Hokama interrupted her mid-sentence: “You brought it up!”

“The consideration Mr. Hokama’s making is not subversive or illegal, it’s all part of strategy – perfectly legal,” Molina said before calling the vote.

The vote to file (kill) the disapproval failed 4-5, meaning the disapproval of J.D. Kim for prosecuting attorney is recommended for a council vote. If the final vote is not completed by a March 9 deadline, Kim will become prosecuting attorney by default.

GABBARD OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES PRESIDENTIAL RUN, NBC NEWS REPORTS RUSSIAN SUPPORT Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-2nd District) officially announced her run for the presidency last weekend, the same week Politico reported on the departure of her campaign manager and the campaign’s messy lead-up to the unplanned “unofficial” candidacy announcement on a Jan. 11 episode of CNN’s Van Jones Show. The launch event was held in Waikiki, and was followed by a Tulsi 2020 video that showcased her position as a candidate for peace opposed to US interventionism.

For a candidate off to a rocky start and needing to flip the script from playing defense (on past positions regarding LGBTQ rights, and support to and from nationalist groups), however, the campaign launch was marred by an NBC News report released the same morning, headlined “Russia’s propaganda machine discovers 2020 Democratic

COCONUT POLL: 71% - Yes

29% - No

Last week we talked about rising Hawai‘i hotel revenue. We asked readers on Facebook and Mauitime.com if they think the county should raise the hotel and resort real property tax. 71% of you voted “Yes.” This week we ask: Do you think there is a smear campaign against presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard?

candidate Tulsi Gabbard.” As the title suggests, the report found that Gabbard “has become a favorite of the sites Moscow used when it interfered in 2016.” It based the assertion on a collection of “at least 20” stories following the candidate’s unofficial announcement that appeared on Moscow-based English-language websites including RT, Sputnik News, and Russia Insider. It’s noted that the CIA labels RT and Sputnik part of “Russia’s staterun propaganda machine.”

“All three sites celebrated Gabbard’s announcement, defended her positions on Russia and her 2017 meeting with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, and attacked those who have suggested she is a pawn for Moscow,” the article stated.

NBC also found that coverage devoted to Gabbard exceeds that given to any of the declared or rumored candidates.

“Her promulgation of positions compatible with Russian geo strategic interests can help them mainstream such discussion in the [Democratic] party,” Alex Stamos, an NBC news analyst said for the article.

Journalist Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept was quick to publish a rebuttal of the NBC piece. A critic of the Democratic “establishment” and growing Russophobia, Greenwald wrote that “the whole story was a sham: The only ‘expert’ cited by NBC in support of its key claim was the firm New Knowledge, which just got caught by the New York Times fabricating Russian troll accounts on behalf of the Democratic Party in the Alabama Senate race to manufacture false accusations that the Kremlin was interfering in that election.”

But things are never that simple. Ben Popken, a co-author of the NBC report, took to Twitter to address “some blatant distortions around our NBC News story taking a snapshot of how candidate Gabbard has been promoted by Russian outlets since her announcement Jan 11.”

In the thread, Popken disputed Greenwald’s claim that they “relied” on the analysis by New Knowledge (or any thirdparty firm). The actual meat of the story, Popken said, was in their comparison of coverage by RT, Sputnik, and Russia Insider (quoted above).

That’s not stopping Gabbard from using it as ammunition, though. Shortly after Greenwald’s piece, Gabbard tweeted in keeping with her anti-establishment narrative: “[Glenn Greenwald] exposes that NBC used journalistic fraud to discredit our campaign. But more important is their motive: ‘to smear any adversary of the establishment wing of the Democratic Party – whether on the left or the right – as a stooge or asset of the Kremlin.’”

Yup, looks like more bumpy roads lie ahead. ■ editor@mauitime.com + @axelbeers

Just when you thought there was nothing new under the blue jeans sun: A Ukrainian designer is asking $377 for a pair of jeans that have one fitted leg and one flared leg. Ksenia Schnaider, who calls her design the Asymmetric Jean, told DazedDigital.com: “It’s good to get people talking, and they’re definitely going to make people turn their heads as you walk by!”

DESIGNATED DRIVER Employees of John J. Murphy Elementary School in Round Lake Park, Illinois, were surprised on Jan. 9 when a car drove into the drop-off lane and an 11-year-old student exited the driver’s seat. Witnesses alerted police, who issued an arrest warrant for the frontseat passenger, 31-year-old Khafilu M. Oshodi of Round Lake, for two counts of child endangerment; a 9-year-old was riding in the back seat. Police Chief George Filenko told the Lake County News-Sun the situation could have “resulted in any number of tragic scenarios.” The children have been placed with other relatives, and police are still looking for Oshodi.

PRECOCIOUS Alijah Hernandez of Houston is a skilled barber in her father’s shop, reported KTRK-TV on Jan. 17 – which wouldn’t ordinarily be newsworthy.

But Alijah is only 7 years old. Her dad, Franky, says she’s been watching him since she was a toddler and started perfecting her skills three years ago.

For her part, Alijah says cutting hair comes naturally to her; she practices on friends and family (with her dad supervising) and has already faced off in barber competitions across Texas.

The rare super blood wolf moon of Jan. 20 was so captivating to some skywatchers on Florida’s Ponte Vedra Beach, that they didn’t notice when the tide rolled in and waterlogged their Honda CRV. The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office told News4Jax the occupants were able to get out of the car and move to safety, although the vehicle itself wasn’t recovered until the next day. A photo showed water up to the windshield on the front end.

OUCH Meanwhile, in West Palm Beach, Florida, two unnamed 24-year-olds chose to view the Jan. 20 eclipse by lying prone in the middle of a dark road near the Apoxee Wilderness Trail.

Which would have worked out fine, except around 11:30 p.m. a West Palm Beach police officer patrolling the area

ran over the pair. Fortunately, reported the South Florida Sun Sentinel, he was cruising at just 5 mph, and the human speed bumps sustained only non-lifethreatening injuries. The officer was put on paid administrative leave while the incident was investigated.

TERRIFYING TECHNOLOGY Laura Lyons of Orinda, California, was in her kitchen on the afternoon of Jan. 20 when a loud alert noise blared in the living room, followed by a detailed warning from “Civil Defense” that intercontinental ballistic missiles were on their way from North Korea to Los Angeles, Chicago and Ohio. Lyons told the San Jose Mercury News the message warned residents they had three hours to evacuate. As she and her husband absorbed the news, they realized it had come from their Nest security camera – not from the TV, where the Rams-Saints game was proceeding as normal, and news channels were not reporting anything unusual. “It was five minutes of sheer terror,” she said. The Lyonses called 911 and then Nest, where a supervisor told them they had been victims of a “third-party hack” on their camera and speakers.

SELF-MEDICATING When a 33-year-old unnamed Irish man was admitted to a Dublin hospital with swelling in his right forearm and a rash, he surprised the attending physician with the “cure” he had been using for his back pain. For a year and a half, reported Canoe.com on Jan. 16, the man had been injecting his own semen into his right forearm. X-rays revealed a pool of the fluid under his skin, which had become infected. “He had devised this ‘cure’ independent of any medical advice,” noted Dr. Lisa Dunne in the Irish Medical Journal. He also told Dr. Dunne that his back pain had worsened after lifting a heavy metal object.

LATEST RELIGIOUS MESSAGES British retailer Marks & Spencer is in hot water with Muslims who claim the store’s brand of toilet paper is embossed with the Arabic symbol for the word “God.” An unnamed man posted a video to social media displaying a roll of M&S Aloe Vera 3-ply tissue and urging his Muslim brothers and sisters to avoid buying it or boycott the store altogether. Metro News reports that in response, Marks & Spencer says the symbol is of an aloe vera leaf: “The motif on the aloe vera toilet tissue, which we have been selling for over five years, is categorically of an aloe vera leaf, and we have investigated and confirmed this with our suppliers.” ■

Murals of Wailuku 16 NEW PIECES OF PUBLIC ART PAINT MAUKA TO MAKAI

By Axel Beers

A

s Matthew Agcolicol gestures toward an almost-finished mural in Wailuku Town I notice the tattoo on his arm that reads, “We are the small axe.” The weather has been on-and-off rainy, and, nearby, three Maui-born-and-raised artists are putting the final strokes on the vibrant wall, which only a week ago was a worn and forgotten dirtywhite section of a vacant warehouse. Now, it has new life as a piece of public art.

Even from a block away, the new mural is striking. An ‘alala (Hawaiian crow) on the building corner is visible from the top of Main Street as it swoops over verdant mountain peaks into waving strips of kapa cloth. As one moves down the hill, the image flows downstream into scenes of kalo and then silhouetted fish, following the kapa into a hina‘i (traditional fish net).

Some small fish escape into a darkened reef, inhabited by an enormous he‘e (octopus).

“Positive change!” enthuses Matt, the project director of the Wailuku murals effort, which includes 16 murals, 18 artists, nine locations, and a partnership with the international nonprofit organization PangeaSeed Foundation. Walking around the mural, we talk about the $80-million-plus improvements planned for the Maui Redevelopment Area, which encompasses both the sites of new murals and the area of the contentious Wailuku Civic Complex. I’m curious about how the art project fits into the planned changes for this town where Matt and I both grew up.

We aren’t the only local kids here.

At the mural, Maui born-and-raised artists Amanda Bowers, Kirk Kurokawa, and Noble Richardson bounce between talking story, taking cover from the rain, and painting. Elmer Bio Jr., the mural’s fourth artist is also a Maui

10 FEBRUARY 7, 2019

native, but is absent today. Elmer’s 20-foot-tall he‘e on the far side of the mural awaits his return and the other three are reluctant to proceed with a photo shoot because of their missing friend and collaborator. In the end it doesn’t matter. The rain that has been pelting the artists throughout their week-long project picks up too strongly for good photos anyway.

The project with PangeaSeed has been a year-and-a-half in the making, Matt tells me. It’s the product of a network of volunteer artists, countless meetings with property owners, and support from the County of Maui. Years ago, Matt volunteered as an artist with a PangeaSeed project in San Diego, where he went to art school. Since returning home in 2016, he’s made it his mission to facilitate public art on Maui.

“We don’t really have a solidified public art program or means to create art in a way where it’s accessible to visiting artists,” he says. “I think this will be a catalyst.”

PangeaSeed, founded on the Big Island by Tre Packard with the core values of sustainability, education, ecology, and design, dedicates itself to addressing tremendous change (ocean acidification, climate change, plastic pollution, and more) through art – especially public art and murals. Likewise, these four Maui-born artists work at the forefront of tremendous change for Wailuku, in the shadow of a future parking structure and an $84.2-million project that could permanently alter the character of their town.

My curiosity becomes a question: What is the role of art in a world that is changing?

If you are the big tree, we are the small axe//Ready to cut you down, to cut you down.

-Bob Marley

When I think of murals, I instantly connect to Mexican painter Diego Rivera, who used artwork to communicate political messages during a period of change. But Matt sees things a bit differently.

“I think it’s an awakening kind of thing,” he says when I ask if the artwork carries a political message. To him, values like responsible consumption and concepts like ecological interdependence “can be portrayed in a beautiful way where people are constantly reminded of them.”

For the 16-mural project, the theme of “Mauka to Makai” (loosely, “Mountains to Ocean”) was selected to guide the artists’ designs, Matt explains. People don’t think of Wailuku as being a coastal town, but our small island ecosystem means that everything immediately influences each other.

That’s why recognizing water resources from mauka to makai is so important, he says, and why the team took a field trip of sorts last week.

“Last week Saturday we went from ‘Iao Valley all the way down to Ka‘ehu Bay and saw what was happening in the context of mauka to makai,” says Matt. “So we took a look at the river, then went down, passed by the bridge and saw how the water and everything was going down through this concrete flume and then down into the bay, and seeing the results of how freshwater is affecting a lihikai, or those brackish water systems that should be flourishing the environment or the ecosystem.”

“I think that was more of our intention here, to showcase [the ecosystem] and also raise awareness for ocean environmental issues,” he says. “Art is a catalyst to interpret or showcase these messages.”

PangeaSeed has coined the terms ARTivism and ARTivists for the work it does

with artists, stating on its website, “We believe that art, design and new media can transcend cultural and linguistic boundaries inspiring positive global change.

PangeaSeed collaborates with today’s most influential creative minds to help give the oceans the voice they so desperately need.”

I ask PangeaSeed director of operations Akira Biondo, who arrives fresh from showcasing the murals on an art walk with local high school students, about artists in a time of change, especially in ground-zero of an area planned for redevelopment and gentrification.

She admits that she is not extremely familiar with the changes planned for Wailuku, but responds, “art definitely plays a role in creating a sense of community and ownership. That’s what we really hope to do, where people really start being proud about where they live, in the place they call home.”

Regarding gentrification, Akira says, “I don’t think this is going to happen in Wailuku. My feeling is that Wailuku has that small-town vibe, and it seems very attached and connected and proud of that already, so I really hope that all the artworks we’ve created will just contribute to the value and people’s community pride rather than take away from that.”

“Taking action and being a part of the community,” Matt adds. “I think that’s important. That’s what changes. You have to be a part of it. You can’t just watch it happen.”

“Often communities wait for things to happen,” says Akira. “It’s typically a small group of activists who will push for a bill or a new policy, and I think there’s definitely a place for that. But also for getting the masses engaged in a non-confrontational manner. And opening up that space for people who may not identify themselves as activists but still have that sense of care.”

think. You don’t necessarily have to have an obvious view, but if it did make someone question something or discussion is created: That is successful.

Gregg Kaplan, Artist, Texaco Kitchen Wall: I don’t know if I have a role, I just like to make art. I mean, I’m sure that I do have a role but I don’t know what it is. I can’t comment: That’s where the time will tell. I hope people appreciate what I’ve done, but I just wanted to create something beautiful and something that pushes my own boundaries.

I’m always learning… I hope people are inspired to go make cool stuff too.

Kai Kaulukukui on Vineyard Street

I have the canary-bird-in-the-coal-mine theory of the arts. You know, coal miners used to take birds down into the mines with them to detect gas before men got sick…

I continue to think that artists – all artists – should be treasured as alarm systems.

-Kurt Vonnegut So with Matt and Akira’s (and Kurt’s) words in my head, I walk around the block, from Uptown Texaco down Main Street and then over to Vineyard Street, to hear more about what the area’s working PangeaSeed artists have to say about the question:

What is the role of the artist and art in a world that is changing?

Matt Agcolicol, Project Director: Art is a universal language. That is all arts – performance, music, visual arts. Somebody might have a totally different interpretation of what the work portrays. It’s something that’s beautiful and also says something that only the viewer can translate themselves.

Amanda Bowers, Artist, MAPA Wall: We wanted to paint something that would spark a question. People would drive by, they didn’t know what bird that was, didn’t know what a hina‘i was. The [‘alala and the hina‘i] are things that were common, and then all of a sudden they’re not. In a world where the environment is rapidly changing, we felt like we just had to remind people.

[Public art] reaches everybody. It’s free.

You don’t even really have to come up to it to see it. You can just drive by and see. It’s like planting a seed in someone’s mind, or maybe somebody sees this they don’t have any idea what it is, but then later they see something about it and go, “I’ve seen that before.” That’s sparking something new. You can take what you want from it. It’s really a beautiful thing. It really is like the idea of taking what you need and then releasing some of the fish – now they’re not just catching everything. It’s the idea of sustainability and being able to share your knowledge and culture with people around you, just soaking in whatever’s around.

Kamehanaokala, Artist, North-facing Texaco Car Wash Wall: For me art has always been a vehicle for expression, but more so awareness. This is how we share stories and especially in these times I like to reflect on the concept of the past, and how all those lessons and ideas are really important today. I think [art] is another form of expression. This is my voice, this is my weapon. People will take what they do out of it, but it’s supposed to make people

Kai Kaulukukui, Artist, Maui Land Brokers Wall: I think artists are some of the most important creatives coming up in this changing world because with automation happening so many jobs are going to disappear. It’s going to create a vacuum where if we don’t embrace the creativity of people then we might just get lost in technology and the change. I was just reading about the [Wailuku Civic Complex] this morning and it seemed like it’s good and bad. But it’s just a loaded question, I don’t know. The point of the mural project is to get messages out there, to expose keiki, the next generation, to these ideas. Like, why exactly this particular fish? Or why does she have a coral hat? Mine will show trash. It’ll make them think. We get a platform to just say what we want and if you’re not really saying anything, what’s the point of saying it, you know? There’s something called an art wash that happens in a town where it’s broken down, it’s cheap, nobody wants to be there, so artists come and then a really good coffee spot opens. And then the next thing you know that neighborhood is alive again; they tear down the old buildings, build new ones, and kick the artists out… and it’s all part of growing I guess.

But the hope is always to get the message out to kids. My hope is that – my wall particularly – kids will take the message,

Lauren Brevner, Artist, Kama‘aina Loan Cash for Gold Wall: I think the one thing that art does is it creates culture.

That’s what I see my job as, as an artist: that culture. But sometimes what ends up happening is, we come in, we do these murals, and it kind of changes the scene because it’s so well received. And at this point, I think when I see people walking by, connecting with my art, I’m so happy and that’s what I want to do. I wanted to create a piece that connected to children and wasn’t super conceptual in any way – that anybody can connect with, look at, and get something from. Artists are always going to be a good thing. What comes after that I can’t really comment on.

Alexandra Underwood, Artist, 1975 Vineyard Wall: Our topic is ocean acidification. It’s such a heavy, depressing thing.

You know, you’re doing all this research and you feel helpless, but – doing murals and just talking to people about it – is a positive way to do activism and it gets people excited and draws them in. I haven’t read enough about [redevelopment in Wailuku], I just heard it was happening. If we could incorporate art into that and make it more of a cultural center, I think it’ll make people feel like they’re a part of it.

Joey Rose, Artist, 1975 Vineyard Wall: With this project especially, the biggest role the artist has is as an educator – so, art as a way to educate people about issues or cultural things that need to be brought to light in a positive way. Public art, especially, is a total equalizer. Anyone can come and it doesn’t matter.

Noble Richardson, Artist, MAPA Wall: [Art] is good for anywhere. It helps everybody. It helps the kids. We got Punana Leo [Hawaiian-immersion preschool] driving down every day. They get to see something that they’re familiar with. Kids that are not familiar with it get to see something to become familiar with. So when somebody like PangeaSeed comes through and offers this gigantic pedestal to be on, take that opportunity to say something worthwhile.

Anybody can do one pretty picture, but that’s what I like about [PangeaSeed]: They bring on the messages… The greater meaning [in the mural], the ‘alala and the hina‘i and the he‘e is: Travel far and beyond and then come home. Bring that knowledge so we can live better. Capture that knowledge, come back, come home.

The ‘alala is more like, we’ve always had that education – some of it conservative at times – but the purpose is: Hey, time to be voiceful. Time to be voiceful. Be loud about it. Don’t hold it in anymore. The mana‘o (thought) behind the hina‘i, the fish trap, is: You attain knowledge but don’t hold it in, release some of that. You gotta release some of that. The idea behind the ‘alala is: Speak it. Let it echo.

Kirk Kurokawa, Artist, MAPA Wall: All classes of life, from the rich to the poor, can enjoy the artwork. You’re not going into a gallery or a museum, which can be kind of intimidating for some people. Public art is important for that role: It’s open to everybody and anybody can learn from it.

You can take what you got from this piece of art and dialogue about it – it starts something. It keeps a community together that way too… Honestly, at the end of the day I just want people to be happy and feel good about where they’re from. Art is important, because you can say stuff you might not be able to say to a politician, or you can you can voice your opinion in a different way.

This is just a different voice. And it opens it up the dialogue for everybody. Politics can learn something from that too.

Dulk, Artist, South-facing Texaco Car Wash Wall: What I like about street art is that it’s free art for everyone. I think the gallery is for the people with a more specialized interest. But with street art, it’s for all kinds of people walking down the street.

That’s the most important thing for me: That you can give to everyone.

like “I saw that turtle on the wall. It was choking on plastic” and if they’re on the beach and they see plastic maybe they’ll just grab it and throw in their backpack – you know just the little things like that.

a Kula Kid special report by Anu Yagi

THE SON OF BOB INTERVIEW THAT (ALMOST) WASN’T

PHOTO COURTESY KY-MANI

Comeback Kid

Ky-Mani Marley

I

n celebration of Bob Marley’s birthday, the annual Bob Fest will be held at the Lahaina Civic Center on Saturday Feb. 9. This honors the 40th anniversary of Bob Marley & The Wailers having played here during their 1979 World Tour. Marley’s son, Ky-Mani Marley, will headline the star-studded event (which runs from 1pm-10pm), as he retraces his father’s footsteps. See pg. 17 for more info.

There’s a natural mystic blowing through the air. I’m at the Lahaina Civic Center, sandwiched between the deep blue sea and uli mountains majesty. Every kind of weather is at play: wind, flood, and jah golden sun fueling all sorts of swirling synchronicity. More on that as we go.

Almost-exactly 40 years ago, Bob Marley & The Wailers played on this very Maui stage. I have a picture of Marley in that moment (as many do); right hand raised to the sky, rooted and reverberating with all that makes The Word Of Bob mean so much, to so many, for so long.

In that picture, you can clearly see the concrete of the Civic’s stage cove. So much is the same, and yet, things are not the way they used to be.

I try sending my mind to that 1979 time. I don’t know what that number means to you, but for me it’s ingrained as the year my biological parents wen’ grad from Maui High.

You know before? (Apply unko/auntie voice.) Here in Hawai‘i, the question, “Wen you wen’ grad?” was a mandatory get-toknow-you. But you just don’t hear that like you used to. Same soil, same stage. But boy has our world changed. Don’t ask me why.

Right now it’s Polar Vortex in America, and even our far-away ‘aina – Lahaina, named for the merciless sun – is experiencing its version.

Feeling the rain, I look to the sky and try conjuring '79 – long before I was conceived, living as a little egg that Mom

carried inside her since before she herself was born. I’ve got my nose pressed through the Civic’s chainlink like a puppy in the pound. A man approaches.

“Are you looking for someone?” From face to boots he’s well-worn by hard work, and has the kind of posture that says he’s (really) in charge. He’s kindly come to check on the odd girl with her face in the fence.

I tell him that The Son Of Bob is gonna play here next Saturday (Feb. 9), retracing his father’s footsteps from 40 years ago.

Ky-Mani Marley is scheduled to call me for an interview at 2pm Hawai‘i time (which is sometime tomorrow morning in Australia, where they’re currently touring).

“I wanted to soak up some the mana of the space. I figure why not, I live right up the street,” I tell the caretaker.

“You went Lahainaluna?” he asks, studying my ‘ano.

“I wish! (See, Lahainaluna is truly the most special ol’ school in all the archipelago, and even America, West of The Rockies.) No, I’m originally from Upcountry.”

He nods knowingly and offers to open the gate. Maybe things haven’t changed so much as I lament. I step onstage and into that storied concrete cove. Flurried raindrops of cold gold alight as I look out to the field.

Fun to think about how there are kids who could’ve been conceived at that concert – who could by now have grown kids of their own. Maybe some of these generations will be at Saturday’s Bob Bash, skankin’ in a space that’s unfolding its story like paper unfurled into snipped snowflakes.

My secret wish is to set up my recording equipment and do the Ky-Mani Marley interview from the Civic stage. But brrrr-ah. This weather. Jah has other plans.

Shaking the caretaker’s hand in gratitude, he tells me he’ll leave the gate open for me – and that his name is Michael.

Of course his name is Michael. That’s my estranged biological father’s name

(said '79 Maui High grad). Someone I’ve never really known but whose nuances and proclivities are living through me all the time. I’ve got this concept on my list of stuff to ask Ky-Mani Marley what he thinks. I mean, if anyone to ask…

Back home, just up the street, I set up my recording equipment and small art shrine: that picture of Bob at the Civic, a floral candle, a la‘i leaf pipe, and a blunt rolled by my hanai auntie (which I've been saving like a prized bottle sealed for a special occasion).

It’s cozy inside. It may not be the Lahaina Civic Center stage, however, the hale that Hubby and I have called home for 16 years was once the family residence of the architect who designed the Civic Center. So it’s as close as it gets, if not slightly stranger.

To make matters more interesting, just yesterday we found out that our house was sold. The new owner is coming to meet with us tomorrow, in fact. (Which Ky-Mani’s relative Australia-time is right now.) Like an intricate net, our hearts are woven to this shelter we share, so Hubby and I are mourning it unlike any place we have ever lived in and lost.

The floral candle is half-burned (I swear to Bob that I haven’t lit that blunt), and I’m still waiting for Ky-Mani Marley’s call from Down Under. So I spend the time Googling the architect, Ed Murayama. Turns out he’s a Lahainaluna dropout, turned boxing champ, turned self-made man who’s designed all sorts of famous buildings in Hawai‘i and abroad. Oh, and he’s the inspiration for the protagonists in books by his brother, Milton Murayama (the acclaimed novelist and author of the cult classic, All I Asking For Is My Body).

I weep a little joy in learning this just now. With all my recent Marley musings about legacy and love, who knew I’d learn so much from the old walls all around me.

The gutters gush, time ticks on, still no Ky-Mani call. To be fair, his manager had phoned some hours earlier explaining how understandably busy Ky-Mani is. But it sounds like there’s still a good chance, so I stay in queue.

Wandering thoughts drift me back to 10 years ago, when I first inked at MauiTime.

My tenure only lasted three volumes, during which I lived and died a thousand times. Never mind the countless skins shed in all the years since then. Things are definitely not the way they used to be.

And praise Jah for that! I laugh a little at my old selves. Cringe, mostly – but laugh, too. My very first published piece was an interview with Bob’s firstborn, Ziggy Marley. I was scared shitless because – a bit like the architect – I’m a King K dropout with a fair share of fighting (but got lucky with

writing). Funny that my first foray back in the MT fold should be with another Son of Bob. #doublerainbowcountry This makes me think more about the weird and wonderful connectivity we have with our parents.

A decade ago when that Ziggy story hit newsstands, my folks were out fishing in Kaupo. (It should be mentioned that after the Michael mess, Mom remarried the best Dadu in the world, who adopted and raised me and bless-I with my Oki surname.)

Mom and Dadu were driving way-theheck-out Backside when some ‘opala blew across the road right in front of them.

Stopping to pick it up, they gasped – it had their daughter’s name on it?! My very first story, wind-delivered right to them, along the remotest skirts of the sea. Jah provide.

By the way, please don’t think that I’m saying all this Jah stuff to be silly or thematic or whatever. Honest to Bob, Hubby and I literally invoke the name of Jah a dozen times a day. Jah this, Jah that. To boot, we share every meal together and sincerely begin with an out-loud pule that starts with, “Ho, Jah Jah. T‘anks and praises. Etc. etc. Mahalo ke Akua.”

Jah sun has set, the candle has burnt down to the nub. The image of Bob is drenched in whatever weather has washed through our old jalousies. It’s time to disassemble my recording shrine so that we have a dinner table again.

So the Ky-Mani call never came. But no worries, I had such a good time that I don’t even care. I may not have asked any questions, but I still kinda got some answers. Because there’s a natural mystic blowing through the air. And if you listen carefully, you can hear.

AFTERWORD: The next day, the rain is gone. Jah sun shone so unobstructed that I got a dang sunburn. For the first time in my life, I tied a bow on a haku ahead of deadline. Meanwhile Hubby strummed and sang Marley tunes, right off the top of his head.

Though we’d feared an exit-plan from our special home, the cool new owner instead came bearing a re-upped lease and the promise for some overdue termite TLC. Plus, Ky-Mani Marley kindly and promptly sent positive vibes replies to my emailed questions. Check ‘em out here, on page 17. Jah Bless.

'Love Over All'

PHOTO COURTESY KY-MANI

KY-MANI MARLEY ON MUSIC, LEGACY, AND THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS FATHER’S 1979 TOUR

Marley will headline the star-studded event

BOB BASH 2019 MAUI Lahaina Civic Center 1840 Honoapi‘ilani Hwy., Lahaina Saturday, Feb. 9. 1-10pm $40-$100/ticket BobBash.com MauiTime: What’s the most important thing you want people to know about your music and message?

Ky-Mani Marley: I want to create music that allows people to feel good – and stronger – as they listen. Through song you can bring people together and share joy, so that the power of “Love Over All” can always be achieved.

MT: If you could describe your music as a flavor (like a taste or a meal), what would it be?

KM: My music-as-a-meal would allow you to taste every flavor that excites your palate, as it satisfy’ your soul – but leaves you wanting more.

MT: Legacy is a fascinating thing. It is a powerful aspect of human experience wherein we must honor our inheritances while forging our own paths that push forward into the future. As you retrace your father’s footsteps through this 40th anniversary tour, how has the concept of “legacy” taken shape in your life?

KM: 40 years. This makes me smile with joy. Anytime I get to share my father’s music with fans – and see their appreciation – always give’ me good feelings. I do not think that anyone could have imagined the positive effects of his music and legacy. It has allow’ me to travel extensively, meeting many good people, as I continue his journey of sharing his message of “Unity and One Love.”

MT: Can you share any anecdotes from the road that have been particularly revelatory?

KM: Experiences on the road can be challenging many ways. As I travel and interact with various energies of the people I encounter, I try to remain positive – embracing the good vibes and sharing my music with the intention to make my fans smile. As for anecdotes, we all try

to acknowledge our differences and aspire to do what it takes to convey a positive message.

MT: Personally, the older I get, the more I find connectivity with my ancestors.

Even those who I’ve never met, their nuances and proclivities are living through me. How does this idea relate to you?

KM: Yes you are correct. Born in the Marley legacy, which always is about peace and love, it’ a very natural thing for me to embrace.

I’ve also been blessed to grow up with my grandmother and get to spend time with many elders in Falmouth, Jamaica, where I was born. These experiences keep me humble and appreciative of the many wonderful things I get to do in life. The conversations we’ve shared over the years are a source of inspiration for my music and life journey.

MT: A portion of the proceeds from the Bob Bash in Lahaina will benefit The SHAKA Movement (a group committed to protecting natural resources in Hawai‘i) as well as The Maui Cannabis Guild. How do you feel about the changing worldview of weed?

KM: As an artist – and most of all, as an herbalist – legalizing this natural plant, on any level, can only be a good thing. Not only for many positive medical aspects, but there are economic benefits to explore and ”harvest” worldwide.

MT: “Love over all.” Then again, we be “decked out in army fatigues” and all that.

How, why, and when is the time to fight?

KM: As time passes and the world shifts, it still remain’ in balance. So we are always ready to fight for the rights of the people, being a voice for those who cannot be heard.

We adapt accordingly but remain focus’ on the positive results. Sometimes you need the “garments” to indicate your presence and readiness to battle. My song “Love Over All ” is made to empower, as we know there is a final goal we are looking to achieve. ■ jen@mauitime.com For more A&E stories, visit: mauitime.com/entertainment

Matthew McConaughey's Worst Film?

Something’s fishy about ‘Serenity,’ and it’s not the tuna ★★★★★

Rated R / 106 Min.

W

20 FEBRUARY 7, 2019

PHOTO COURTESY IMDB

hen we meet Baker Dill (played by Matthew McConaughey), he’s drenched in sweat, living alone in a dumpy apartment, and lives to fish. Baker is particularly obsessed with catching a massive tuna he’s nicknamed “Justice,” a crazed fixation that has resulted in daily failed attempts to capture the fish with his patient first mate (played by Djimon Hounsou).

Mounting debt and an unceasing yearning to wrangle Justice out of the depths have led Baker to prostitute himself with a local woman (played by Diane Lane).

Adding further tension is the sudden reappearance of Baker’s ex (played by Anne Hathaway), whose abusive new husband (played by Jason Clarke) causes Baker to contemplate murder.

Everything I’ve just described occurs within the first 50-or-so minutes of writer and director Steven Knight’s Serenity (also the name of Baker’s boat), and so far so good. I’m a sucker for neonoir erotic thrillers and this one is rich with humid atmosphere and familiar tropes, like our unreliable protagonist, murky moral choices, and the promise of everything being better if someone commits just one little murder. For a stretch, this plays like the forgotten, Woody Harrelson-starring Palmetto, which was enjoyably pulpy trash. However, Knight has something bigger in mind and that’s where here this goes wrong.

I won’t reveal or hint at the what the big twist is, but will declare it as so truly bad, it will likely become legendary.

In the lead, McConaughey invests the

“Why did we sign on to this movie?”

same amount of intensity here that he has in far better roles. Still, the moments where he screams at the sky and growls, “I quit!” seem especially appropriate.

McConaughey totally delivers every demand of his role, but the third act renders his hard-working performance into camp. I haven’t seen the forthcoming The Beach Bum, so jury’s out if this is the actor’s worst movie.

Hathaway, who’s barely in this, plays her introductory scene like a femme fatale spoof (not a bad choice), then dials it back for the rest of the movie. She should have stayed in parody mode, as the increasingly grave tone of her work becomes comical for all the wrong reasons.

Considering how subtle and soulful their

shared scene work was in Interstellar, this is a step down for a McConaugheyHathaway reunion (ditto McConaugheyHounsou, reunited for the first time since Amistad). Lane’s role is especially thankless and degrading, while Clarke’s vile lout is so despicable, he’s downright funny. The cast will recover but what led them to sign on to this in the first place?

Knight’s prior work, the Tom-Hardyin-a-car-for-the-whole-movie Locke, was inventive and especially well written.

Here, Knight gives (of all things) the fishing scenes proper snap and bungles the rest. This is the kind of script that should have been used to wrap a dead fish and not made into a motion picture.

Back to that big twist, which is so

stupid, a part of me remains impressed that the screenplay went all-in and committed to such a disastrous storyline in the first place. When all is said and done, the full reveal proves to be distasteful, wrong-headed, and tone deaf.

Serenity is in the company of the recent Life Itself, The Book of Henry, Transcendence, and Remember Me – all on the Bad Idea Hall of Fame.

The perspiration-drenched, sunny location makes this fun for a while and this is a beautifully shot and scored film. Some may defend this as a guilty pleasure (particularly fans of McConaughey, who has far more nude scenes in this than in Magic Mike) but I left the theater with a sour (perhaps fishy) taste in my mouth. ■

Horoscope

Sign Language AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Don’t look at not being included in something as being deliberately left out, or as anything personal.

There are probably many other factors you may not be aware of or that you’re deliberately blinding yourself to. You can go ahead and see this as a personal slight, but you’d only be shooting yourself in the foot in the long run. Treating someone as if they’ve insulted you when they’re actually just doing their job will earn you scorn, defensiveness, and a reputation as prickly and clueless – but certainly not a place in whatever you wanted to be part of. See the big picture, chill out, and wait your turn. It’ll come.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

where beach meets fashion

There’s nothing wrong with using a calculator to figure out your bills if you suck at doing math in your head.

Not bothering to do the math at all is another story – that would be bad. Recognize your weaknesses and own them. There’s no need to feel bad about them.

We all suck at some things, and it’s better to identify what they are, and figure out a way to make up for them, than to not acknowledge or confront them at all. By ignoring the problem you’re exacerbating it. Go buy a calculator – or otherwise acquire the help you need to compensate for your shortcomings.

Having the possibility of freedom looming before you can be terrifying. It’s very much like that feeling that washes over you standing on the edge of a cliff and knowing that with one choice – a whim, even – you could go tumbling off it. Choosing freedom, too, is risky. You could die. But it’s not as surely lethal as leaping into the Grand Canyon would be. Turn away from it if you must; your cage is pretty nicely gilded, after all. But at least walk up to the precipice, take a deep breath, and think about jumping off.

People like you. They really like you – except when they don’t. Hopefully you’ve figured this out by now, but just in case you haven’t: There is nothing you can do to make the people who don’t like you start liking you. In fact, trying to do so is only likely to solidify their negative opinions about you. They may warm up to you eventually, but only on their own and on their own time. Trying to ingratiate yourself will only backfire, so please give it up. Enjoy the people who enjoy you and quite simply do your best to ignore the rest.

3 locations to serve you:

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

You want to help? Lend someone your expertise.

I know that your interests have changed, and that you’d rather devote your energy to the areas you’re still a newb in, that are exciting and fresh. However, because you’re still just learning, you actually can’t be all that helpful. We need you for the stuff you’re good at right now. Revisiting your old haunts and doing shit you’ve already done a thousand times may not be all that interesting, but it would be incredibly accommodating and generous of you – and likely to inspire a little reciprocal generosity, which is never a bad thing.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Most people will eventually edit a bad first impression of someone, if they see enough evidence to the contrary, but not you bulls. You’ll sometimes stick to that wrongful idea to the bitter end, turning a completely blind eye to proof that things are contrary to what you believe. Isn’t that what’s happening now? No? Are you sure? If you’ll admit it (a feat unto itself, I know), you haven’t taken a close look at everything that’s happened since the faux pas that made up your mind about someone. Won’t you do that now? If you do so with an open mind, yes, you’ll have to admit you were wrong. But that’s a small price to pay, considering what you’ll get in return: a great new friend.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

The third time may be the charm. Won’t you give this lovable loser a third chance? You might disagree philosophically with second or third chances, or resent it because of how rarely you’ve been cut a break, but sometimes it’s a good idea to bend the rules. This is one of those times, because even though there’s always a chance that they’ll strike out and fail miserably as they already have twice before, odds are that this time they’ll rise up and pleasantly surprise everyone by actually pulling off whatever stunt they’d previously crashed and burned on.

Wouldn’t you like to see that? You can.

Go ahead and pine away. Spin some sugar-spun fairy tale around your longing, and pretend you’re Sleeping Beauty singing, “Someday my prince(ss) will come…” Don’t mind us sniggering behind our hands or feeling sorry for you because you’re really that dopey. Or you can go ahead and venture forth into the wilds. Dig up your own rough diamond, brave frightening monsters, and actually make shit happen. Waiting isn’t doing you any good. It’s time to kick your own ass and write your own fairy tale starring you as hero, not victim waiting to be rescued.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

If you want proof that you rock, look around you. Check out the people who love you. Their awesomeness, and the affection they bequeath upon you, should be evidence enough that you’re great. I hope you can figure out a way to be satisfied with that. If you really have to look further to find the validation and appreciation you crave, you’re going to get into trouble. In most cases, your quest will probably end in failure. Not only that, it’s likely to sabotage at least some of the good stuff you’ve already got. Look at your friends again, and feel the love. With all this, you really shouldn’t feel hungry for more. It’s a veritable feast. Dig in.

HELP A SENIOR PET IN NEED. ADOPT DON’T SHOP! MEET MURIEL....

AN ADORABLY ITTY BITTY LITTLE CUDDLE BUG JUST WAITING FOR YOUR LOVE!

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Usually you’re really good at sorting between your brilliant ideas and your abysmal ones – after the fact.

Giving your inspired thinking a little time to percolate is always a good idea, especially when it’s something dramatic or potentially life-changing. I know there’s a lot of energy in the idea right now, and you’re going to want to run with it, but please resist that urge. There could be a wall up ahead, or you could end up running in the wrong direction, then have to work that much harder to make up lost ground. Keep your inspiration and temptation in check until the dust has had a little time to settle and you can be sure this is the right way for you to go.

You might not run as fast, having waited, but you’ll be a lot less likely to trip and fall flat on your face.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Do you believe in ghosts? I do. Not necessarily spectral entities banging doors or slinging ectoplasm at stuff, but more like memories that have lives of their own. They influence you whether you like it or not – sometimes spurring you on, sometimes tripping you up or holding you back. Even though they live inside your head, it doesn’t seem like you can control them. You can, though. They can be exorcised, chained, or even made into allies, but probably not by you alone. You need someone to help you wrangle your ghosts. This week, look for that person and you’ll probably find him.

Sell the complete package. By so strongly emphasizing only your strengths, you’re really selling yourself short. Not only do you also bring a plethora of perfectly acceptable, solid, average skills to the table (without which your most brilliant talents don’t mean as much), but by so diligently obscuring and hiding your weaknesses you’re presenting what’s obviously not a complete picture. My advice: Let it all hang out.

The good, the bad, the ugly. None of it is so bad nor so ugly that it will turn someone away, and by showing it all you add one more thing to your list of positive qualities: refreshing openness and honesty.
