The Battle for Wailuku

PHOTO COURTESY COUNTY OF MAUI

Is this what revitalization looks like?

W

ailuku is dead. That could have been the rallying call of those testifying in support of the Wailuku Civic Complex at the March 29 meeting of Maui County Council’s Economic Development and Budget Committee. The lead suspect in the death of this historic town? Well, that remains a mystery with multiple suspects. But proponents of the complex made it clear that the $84.2-million project represented the best chance for Wailuku’s resuscitation.

As supporters of the costliest item in the county’s FY2019 budget took turns justifying its price tag by calling Wailuku “dying,” “in decay,” “broken,” and “not functional,” detractors voiced discontentment with the project’s cost, perceived lack of community input, and potential impact.

The testimony during the day-long committee meeting circled around a single agenda item: a move by EDB Committee Chair Councilmember Keani Rawlins-Fernandez (Moloka‘i) to defund the Wailuku Civic Complex. With the $40-million-plus first phase of the project authorized for bonds and scheduled to break ground this summer, Rawlins-Fernandez proposed stripping the project’s funds to about $13 million, just enough for the already-contracted offsite infrastructure improvements, which include upgraded water and sewer lines, storm drains, underground utilities, and road surfacing in the surrounding area. Under this proposal, construction of Wailuku Civic Complex Phase 1B, the parking structure, would be halted and hacked from the previous budget.

At the end of the day, the proposal failed by a vote of 3-5, with only freshman Councilmembers Rawlins-Fernandez, Tamara Paltin, and Shane Sinenci supporting defunding the complex. Councilmember Tasha Kama (Kahului) was not present.

Despite the roundabout arrival at the status quo, the meeting illuminated community sentiment regarding the contentious multi-million-dollar project, and stimulated discussion around “revitalization,” a

buzzword that remains loosely defined.

For commercial landowners, it meant transforming Wailuku into a destination.

With the full buildout of the civic complex, the town could be a “place where people on Maui gather and we go for dinner, we go for arts, and also retail,” said Jonathan Starr, a long-time supporter of the project and landowner of multiple commercial parcels in Wailuku Town.

“Wailuku needs a reason for people to come and a reason for people to stay,” echoed Kristen Holmes, who owns commercial property and a business at the corner of Vineyard and Church Streets. “I personally feel that creating an arts and culture district would create a base for the after-5[pm] crowd.”

That rhetoric made some Wailuku residents bristle.

“One of the things that I’ve read a lot on Rewailuku.org is that they want to attract tourists; they want the area to be like Kihei, Lahaina, and Pa‘ia, and – to be honest – that’s just appalling,” said one Wailuku resident. “This is a place where local citizens go. We don’t want, necessarily, an influx of tourists in this area.”

For others, “revitalization” is less about realizing some grand visitor-oriented vision and more about addressing Wailuku’s more immediate problems, like parking and retail vacancies.

“You go out there and look at these business that are boarded up and closed up – Wailuku Town is dying,” said Lawrence Kauha‘aha‘a, who runs the Wailuku Clean and Safe Program which maintains the Market Street area. “To me, it’s just as simple as creating more parking.”

Saedene Ota, co-owner of the nowclosed Market Street business Maui Thing, rattled off a list of small businesses and restaurants in Wailuku that have moved or closed in the last 10 years. “Small businesses need the support of not only ample parking but also an anchor hub like the civic center,” she added.

Likewise, Richard Dan, a business owner on Market Street, stated that the lack of

parking has led to Wailuku’s decay. “The garage will save this town, will save this community. It will do nothing but help us,” he concluded.

But others questioned whether parking was really the culprit behind the retail vacancies, and whether development is really the adrenaline shot the town needs. “[Vacancies are] kind of a problem in Maui in general,” said a Wailuku resident. “Everywhere is struggling. Everywhere has vacancies.”

“Something else is killing retail, something else is killing businesses,” agreed Sean Housman, who pastors Calvary Chapel in Wailuku. “I know that Maui Mall, you can go down there: Whole Foods is doing well, but you go around the corner, it’s full of empty stores, and there’s plenty of parking. You go down Dairy Road: There’s full-on malls, full of parking, empty stores. You go down to Queen Ka‘ahumanu Center: plenty of parking, empty stores.”

To these members of the community, revitalization efforts would be better focused on the basic functions of the county.

“NPR says State of Hawai‘i comes in with a D-plus for infrastructure which doesn’t surprise me,” said Wailuku resident and longtime business owner Colleen Rohozinski, who described a homeless encampment in the area and a time she personally had to direct traffic after a water main break.

“I’m more concerned about the needs of our community,” said testifier Nalani Kaninau. “I think that we’ve had development galore and I don’t know who this economic development benefits. Our village is leaving in droves because they can’t afford to live here.”

However, as County Managing Director Sandy Baz stated after the committee entered deliberation, such issues can’t be solved by a simple redirection of the funds that have been authorized for the Wailuku Civic Complex.

“Each authorization to issue bonds for a project are individual authorizations,” he said. “So if this project, the bond authorization was not available, then we just couldn’t borrow the money. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the money is available for something else; you would have to appropriate new money for those purposes.”

Besides, the administration argued, the $80-million-plus loan is an investment in economic development that will pay for itself and more.

“My strategy in supporting the Wailuku Civic Complex is to generate revenue through economic development; and there are few possibilities with a better return on investment than downtown revitalization,” Mayor Michael Victorino stated in written testimony supporting the funding for the project.

He based this on projections that the complex will fund its maintenance and raise revenue through a combination of paid parking, paid vendor space, and – mostly –

In debating the Wailuku Civic Complex, stakeholders grapple over “revitalization”

CHANGING

tax revenue from increased property values in the surrounding area.

Councilmember Rawlins-Fernandez noted that Victorino’s stance could put the county in the position of needing to support further area development in order to recover the investment. She asked Erin Wade, the lead planner of the civic complex, if the community was aware that last April’s “Analysis of Fiscal and Economic Impacts” of the Wailuku Civic Complex included building hotels as part of its economic projections.

Wade couldn’t answer the question, but responded, “I know that it has been, from the beginning, part of the analysis and it is really the whole point of downtown economic revitalization: to encourage and create value for properties that are significantly distressed and undervalued, which is the situation today.”

Increasing property values is “revitalization” that Councilmember Riki Hokama can get behind. The veteran councilmember harkened back to the ‘60s and ‘70s, when real property tax revenue from Wailuku and Kahului funded development in South and West Maui. Today, “West Maui is the number one district; South Maui is the number two district – the only two districts that have positive cash flow under real property taxation,” he said.

“I’m grateful that my district brings in a lot of revenue to the county,” Councilmember Tamara Paltin of West Maui responded, but then ticked off the problems that have arisen in her district as a result of growth, including traffic problems, injection wells, lack of affordable housing, and longtime residents “pushed out by commercial vending.”

“It’s kind of not all it’s cracked up to be, being the revenue generator for the county,” she said. “Sometimes it feels like you get pimped out, so to speak.”

The comment touched on the implicit questions of the day: What does “revitalization” really mean? Who does it benefit?

And is it true revitalization if some benefit while others lose?

Until these questions are explicitly addressed, expect the battle to wage on.

What would the revitalization of Wailuku and Maui look like to you? On Thursday, April 4, the County of Maui will hold a public question and answer session on the Wailuku Civic Complex in Council Chambers in the Kalana O Maui (County) Building at 5pm.

“It’s Hawai‘i, Jake”

PHOTO COURTESY FLICKR/WILLSCULLIN

Comments from state officials at Tuesday's hearing contradict key arguments made by supporters of HB1326

[In November 2018, MauiTime first broke the story of the $267-million sale of 56,000 acres of Alexander & Baldwin sugarcane land and watershed to Mahi Pono, a joint venture between California-based Pomona Farming and a Canadian pension fund. Our Changing Maui: Mahi Pono series examines all facets of the sale and the chages it will bring to Maui. It is part of Changing Maui, a larger series about changes facing Maui County.]

long-term water leases – which they have postponed for years. The current law regulating this practice expires in June.

The biggest procrastinator is A&B, which was ordered last year to stop diverting water from a number of East Maui streams, but continued to divert from others (even though it had stopped growing sugarcane).

It never completed the long-term lease application process, leaving that to Mahi Pono, which bought 41,000 A&B acres in December for $267 million.

I

The $62-Million Rebate Buried in the A&B/Mahi Pono purchase and sales agreement is a condition that many believe led to the creation of HB1326. If Mahi Pono can’t get the water it needs within eight years of its 2018 purchase, A&B must rebate $62 million of the purchase price. So A&B has flexed its considerable lobbying muscle with lawmakers in an attempt to extend the practice of holdover permits to 2026 and ensure it won’t owe Mahi Pono a cent.

Mahi Pono is also lobbying hard for the legislation, though many say the company has plenty of water right now for its growing plans. That’s a mystery best saved for another story.

HB1326, in fact, extended temporary holdover permitting for another seven years, to 2026, neatly coinciding with A&B’s need for that window. That version zipped through the House and into the Senate. But opposition grew and the bill’s progress slowed. A hearing before the five-member Committee on Water and Land was cancelled and, instead, the bill was sent to a joint committee: Water and Land, and the 13-member Committee on Ways and Means.

Then the Democratic Party of Hawai‘i wrote lawmakers urging the termination of HB1326, saying companies like A&B shouldn’t use holdover permits “to steal public water resources for their own purposes,” adding, “halt this bill immediately.”

n the film classic Chinatown, private eye Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson) confronts the politics of water in 1930s Los Angeles. By film’s end, Gittes’ personal devastation by power and perfidy is summed up in two words: “It’s Chinatown.” In 2019’s Honolulu, the same elements are swirling around the State Legislature, where a recent surge of backroom maneuvers rival any movie plot twists.

In the past week, new water bills have appeared, then disappeared. Water experts have made surprising declarations, then suddenly changed their minds. The only sure thing is that there’s no sure thing.

In the end, however, it all comes back to Maui and its water.

Late last week, HB1326 – the so-called Corporate Water Theft Bill – suddenly was joined by a separate but almost identical piece of legislation, HB1171. Let’s call it the New Sneakier Corporate Water Theft bill. It’s a distasteful bit of legislative razzle dazzle seemingly designed to placate Alexander & Baldwin – one of the state’s most powerful corporations.

HB1326 extends the controversial use of state-issued one-year “holdover permits.” which allow companies (one on Maui, four on Kaua‘i, and seven on the Big Island) to “temporarily” divert stream water while they fulfill the legal environmental requirements for obtaining permanent

Strong stuff. And that’s when things grew murkier still, according to those familiar with the Legislature and individual lawmakers.

Committee on Water and Land Chair Kahele strove to make the now-stinky HB1326 more palatable, adding a flowery introduction about “ecological balance and scenic beauty.” But the big change was buried deeper: Kahele shortened the permits’ expiration date from seven years to three, which assuredly didn’t sit well with A&B, for about 62-million reasons.

Gut and Replace Enter Sen. Donovan Dela Cruz, powerful chair of the ways and means committee and a master of an ugly maneuver known as “gut and replace.” Lawmakers “gut” the entire contents of a bill that has already cleared legislative hurdles and insert completely new language, leaving only the original bill’s number. Critics say the practice prevents the public from participating in the legislative process.

Here’s an example: The fictional HB123 is a butterfly protection bill. The public has testified, it’s passed a number of House votes and now moves to the Senate, where it lands in Sen. Backroom Deal’s committee and undergoes a “gut and replace.” The new HB123 authorizes the construction of a 10-foot wall around Waikiki – something that had never been voted upon nor opened to public input.

Sound sleazy? Common Cause and The League of Women Voters thought so and sued the state over the practice, calling it unconstitutional. Gut and replace defenders said it was necessary to protect bills from dying due to legislative deadlines. A judge ruled against Common Cause and The League of Women Voters in January, deeming the practice legal. Now the two groups plan to appeal that decision to the Hawai‘i Supreme Court.

In the meantime, Sen. Dela Cruz’s ways and means committee has become a kind

of gut and replace factory. Honolulu Civil Beat’s Chad Blair reported in early March that Dela Cruz had already gutted and replaced three bills this session, less than two months after the judge’s ruling.

Last week, Dela Cruz turned his attention to holdover water permits. He gutted a funding bill, HB1171, and replaced its contents with language similar to HB1326, only this bill restores the expiration date for holdover permits back to 2026, the seven-year date supported by A&B. The blowback was significant and within two days HB1171 disappeared from sight, though it is not yet dead.

HB1326 had its joint committee hearing Tuesday, where senators opposing the bill wrested some interesting admissions from state officials.

Said Sierra Club of Hawai‘i’s director Marti Townsend, “We learned that small water users will not be harmed if [HB1326] does not pass. We also learned that Upcountry usage on Maui won’t be harmed if the bill does not pass.” Both are keystone arguments by bill supporters.

Maui Drama Townsend’s comments add new texture to Maui, where Mayor Michael Victorino maintains his drumbeat of doom for Upcountry water supplies if HB1326 doesn’t pass, despite comments made at a recent water board meeting by his own water director, Jeff Pearson.

Pearson told the board, “I don’t think it’s a panic” [if HB1326 fails] and “I am quite confident we are going to still have water available.”

However, county spokesman Brian Perry issued a dramatically different statement the following week: “Department of Water Supply Director Jeff Pearson has affirmed Mayor Victorino’s statements…

Director Pearson says that without passage of House Bill 1326, water may not be diverted… and [the water department] would experience water shortages and have unreliable delivery of water to Upcountry residents and farmers.”

Community activist Lucienne de Naie, author of the 2005 report “Maui’s Water Future,” was surprised by Pearson’s sudden turnaround. “He was correct [at the meeting] when he said that a great majority of our water does not come from [Mahi Pono land] in the East Maui watershed.”

I asked Perry about Pearson’s aboutface since his Water Board testimony.

Perry said he had nothing to add to the official statement and could not reach Pearson for clarification.

CELEBRATE EACH OTHER!

MOVING M OVING F FORWARD ORWARD W WITH ITH IIMUA MUA F FAMILY AMILY

By Lantana Hoke

T

he festival of colors is a Hindi tradition called Holi that originated from the Indian subcontinent. In a celebration of spring, hope, and love, people gather to celebrate, meet others, play, and renew while partaking in all the things that signify celebration – food, music, and family – with a twist: the throwing of powdered colors. A color festival is an artistic, creative, and visual experience and expression where people throw colors at each other and into the air until everyone is thoroughly and vibrantly painted.

The spring festival symbolizes renewal, love, and the inclusion of all, and is celebrated around the world.

Now, Maui has its own take on Holi, the Color Festival Hawaii, a celebration of diversity and hope put on by Imua Family Services as a part of their annual event series,

10 APRIL 4, 2019

the “Festivals of the World.”

On April 13 at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center, Imua will host the festival for the second year. “I was looking for an event that would appeal to the masses, that we can draw lots of people to, and bring children and families together,” said Dean Wong, the executive director of Imua Family Services. “I wanted it to be something that everyone could enjoy and wouldn’t be expensive to attend, and that would celebrate people, diversity, and the message that we at Imua Family Services really try to share with the community, which is inclusion.” The event will feature music, food, and cultural demonstrations from taiko drummers and Tahitian dancers.

For those who weren’t there last year, Imua has a website for answers to everything from what the ingredients of the powder are (cornstarch and food dye) to what to wear (white is recommended; it should wash off but, just in case, don’t wear your fanciest clothes) and more.

I caught up with Wong to talk about the festival and Imua Family Services. “The color festival at its very basic heart is a music

vices, which we provide. Some children are with us for a few months, some children are with us for a few years, and other children are with us for many years. The kinds of services that they get from us are things like speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, behavioral therapy, special instruction, and general education. Family training is a huge part of what we do, because if you have a child who was born with Down syndrome or a special need, there’s no training manual that comes with that. You get a diagnosis, you go home with your child, and you figure out the next steps. And so we help families figure out what that looks like, what kind of medical attention that looks like, what kind of developmental services that looks like, and all the other resources that the family might need.”

I asked Wong what he wishes Maui residents to know about Imua. “It’s important to know that 90 percent of a child’s brain development happens before they’re six years old, so the most critical years of childhood intervention or development has to happen before then, which is why our organization is so focused on early childhood.”

With that in mind, Wong and his Imua team tried to make the event as family-friendly and affordable as possible with the hope that families would attend. “It’s out in the open, it’s in the grass. Children can run around and throw color at each other and have a great time.” ■ editor@mauitime.com For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

festival,” Wong told me. “A family-friendly, top-of-the-line music festival. The most important thing is that you find great musicians, great stage shows, and bring some great caliber musicianship to the stage. We really feel like we’ve done that this year with Yum Yum Beast and Anuhea, and of course our headliner, Rayland Baxter who is at the peak of his festival circuit career.

“Baxter and his band, who hail from Tennessee, they’ve got a nice blend of pop and country and funk and soul.

And we thought, well this is perfect for an outdoor music festival. It will appeal to lots of genres and tastes, and things of that nature. DJ Boomshot will pull the music together between acts.”

“Music is a celebration of diversity,” Wong added. “It always is. Music is the thing that brings people together, that makes people enjoy life together, that they can celebrate together no matter what their differences are.”

Wong and his team at Imua wanted to include aspects of the color festival for several reasons. “The throwing of color is symbolic of spring and new life, and inclusion, diversity, and accepting people for all of their uniqueness, their colorfulness, and their differences,” Wong said.

“Once everyone is covered in color, we kind of all look like the same thing.”

And although Imua works with children with disabilities, Wong wants everyone in the community to feel welcome and come celebrate at the event with color, music, and food. “We work with children with disabilities, special needs, and developmental delays, and it’s one thing to work with those children and help them to reach their full potential. But another part of our obligation in this community is to make sure that there is a community to support them where they land as they grow up, and that they feel included and a part of everything – that they can go to prom with other high school students, that they can go to camp with

other kids, that they can be on swim teams and go surfing and all of these things. That doesn’t happen by only educating people with disabilities. You also have to communicate the message of diversity and inclusion to the community that is without disability.”

Wong’s vision is to see the event grow in scope and nature to equal other destination festivals. Color festivals happen all over the world, from Paris to New Zealand. “There’s no reason why Hawai‘i shouldn’t be a destination for music festivals like Coachella, like Burning Man, like all of these famous festivals that happen around the world. And so I really wanted to bring that kind of attention and youthful, trending, music festival environment to Maui,” he said. “Our goal is that this will grow into a multi-day festival event with multiple stages, bringing in bigger acts and going into the nighttime.”

Unique to Maui’s own color festival, of course, is that it goes to support Imua Family Services, Maui’s largest early childhood provider in the state of Hawai‘i. It began serving the children of Maui in 1947, primarily helping children stricken with polio, before Hawai‘i was even a state.

“The word Imua means ‘to move forward’ in Hawaiian,” Wong told me. “Basically, that’s what we do for the children in this community.

We work with children who are born with disabilities, with developmental delays, with various special needs. So they might have a physical disability or a developmental disability like autism, or they just have a speech delay or a physical delay in their motor skills or cognitive skills.”

To support these children, Imua has a variety of programs and services, from the annual Camp Imua, a summer camp, to an inclusion preschool, autism services, and newborn hearing screening.

Another well-known event in the community is Paddle Imua, a benefit paddle race coming up in May. Beyond just helping the child, Imua also focuses on supporting the child’s family. “Our goal is to support the family in understanding what their child’s needs are, and then through therapeutic ser-

MAUI TOMORROW HOSTS AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF “COWS SAVE THE PLANET” JUDITH SCHWARTZ FOR A TALK ON IMPACT AND HOPE WITHIN THE CLIMATE CHANGE ERA

Good read

SOIL, CLIMATE, AND THE PROMISE OF REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE Heritage Hall 401 Baldwin Ave., Pa‘ia Monday, April 8. 6:30-8:30pm Maui-tomorrow.org

W

Schwartz is working on a third book, highlighting examples from around the world on mitigating impacts from climate change and poor stewardship of our planet. Restoration Flash Mob: The Curious Person’s Guide to Earth Repair, the working title, will cover dramatic turnarounds, such as the Loess Plateau in China, an area the size of Belgium which suffered widespread desertification but is now as verdant and green as before. It is likely that the author’s observations on Maui will be documented via a chapter in the new book.

If so, it will be among the ecologically visionary chapters Maui Tomorrow Foundation has been writing as an environmental advocacy and watchdog group.

Born in the quest for SPAM (“State Park At Makena”) more than three decades ago, the organization has continued to address quality of life and planning issues.

“If there was no Maui Tomorrow, Maui would look a lot more like O‘ahu,” said Maui realtor and past MTF president Mark Sheehan.

“Nearly forty years ago,” he added, “some Maui activists realized that county planning agencies were too busy permitting and approving developments, and not planning for Maui’s future. It became clear we needed an organization to protect Maui’s future.”

In the thirty years that have followed, MTF has often been at the forefront of vital and politically volatile planning issues: water use and stream diversion, South Maui resort development, affordable housing, airport runway lengthening, cultural site protection, shoreline erosion and armoring, urban sprawl, over-tourism, and local agriculture.

The group has taken to the courts to address potential community impacts and climate injustice as needed. The state Supreme Court agreed a decade ago that Hawai‘i Superferry should not have been allowed to operate without an Environmental Impact Statement. A current legal

challenge is focused upon the inadequacy of the final EIS for a proposal to construct a $20-million, 60-foot tall digester and power plant at Kahului Wastewater Treatment Facility in the tsunami and sea levelrise inundation zones.

The group has been equally effective in taking innovative steps to bring about solutions, and direct negotiations with stakeholders. One of MTF’s original founders, planner Albert Perez, is the current executive director. Faced with an unpopular state Department of Transportation plan to place a 900-foot boulder revetment on the eroding shoreline of Olowalu, Perez took a tape measure to the Honoapi‘ilani Highway late one evening, when traffic was light. He determined there was sufficient pavement width to restripe the road as an interim measure, and convinced DOT to forego the shoreline structure while the long-term solution of highway relocation can be pursued.

Vice president, policy analyst, and historical researcher Lucienne deNaie helped forge an unprecedented settlement in planning for the Makena Resort lands. In marked contrast from initial development proposals, the signed agreement addresses downsizing density while preserving open space and view planes, water quality, beach parking, cultural site preservation and access, native plant preserves, affordable housing, and a community benefit fund.

As a persuasive voice for responsible growth and planning issues, Maui Tomorrow’s decision to sponsor Judith Schwartz’s lecture was easy, said Sheehan.

“It is clearly a way to educate our supporters and community on carbon sequestration, regenerative ag, and food security in the era of climate catastrophe.” ■ jen@mauitime.com For more A&E stories, visit: mauitime.com/entertainment

e live in an unimaginable era of climate roulette.

Scientific predictions of Earth-changing impacts – severe storms, sea level rise, glacial melting, drought-induced wildfires, and more – are already tangible in our lifetimes, and loom ominously for tomorrow’s generations.

A number of well-read authors have helped sound the clarion regarding human impacts on the planet, from Rachel Carson’s seminal Silent Spring, to Paul Ehrlich’s Population Bomb, and Bill McKibben’s 1989 climate change tome, The End of Nature. Some may regard these literary warnings as mere clucking of Chicken Little, yet they are rooted in the truth of our times.

Among these influential writers is Vermont-based journalist and author Judith Schwartz, who will be sharing her perspectives on climate change impacts, and the hope of mitigating them, with a Maui audience. The presentation is a part of the ongoing educational outreach of Maui Tomorrow Foundation, a local organization – known as much for filing lawsuits to enforce environmental and planning laws as for its core mission of educating the public and decisionmakers to influence positive change – now celebrating its 30th year of leadership in environmental and community activism.

Following the end of Maui’s sugar operations in 2016, Maui Tomorrow released

its influential Malama ‘Aina Report “to start the conversation about Maui’s Farming Future.” A regenerative agriculture vision prepared by permaculturist Jenny Pell, the report (available at Futureofmaui. org) broadly covers restorative techniques, practices, and opportunities in the postsugar-plantation era.

Enter visiting author Schwartz, who has penned two compelling books explicating similar concepts and the relevance of soil and water in addressing climate change impacts. Cows Save the Planet, published in 2013, addresses “unmaking the deserts, rethinking climate change, bringing back biodiversity, and bringing nutrients to our food.” The provocative title, enough to give pause to any vegans in the room, invites the curious to re-examine what they might have heard about the relationship cattle have to climate change, and the complex role of grazing animals worldwide in the balance of healthy ecosystems.

Schwartz said she was drawn to write about soil after writing about economics.

“Wealth is dependent upon healthy ecosystems,” she stated. “But we value the [extracted] derivatives, not the whole system.

There is a design flaw in our economic model in that nature [as a whole] is given a value of zero.”

Through skillful storytelling and inspiring examples from around the world, Cows Save the Planet is an important call to action. Her second book, Water in Plain Sight (2016), explores the planet’s water cycles and how soil, plants, and animals as biological components fit into the system.

“We ask how climate stress will impact water,” she told me, “but we don’t ask how water affects climate.” If we ask, “How does the Earth manage heat?” Schwartz continued, we will come to understand that water cycles move heat. Plants also manage heat because they manage water.

“We often think of water as a noun, as something bounded by place,” said Schwartz in a National Geographic blog article. “I’ve come to regard water as a verb.

Water is always in motion.” She went on to examine three ways that water moves: through infiltration into soils, transpiration through plants and trees, and condensation, a phenomenon she believes is especially relevant to humid places like Hawai‘i.

“With the level of moisture you have,” she stated, “restoration can happen very quickly.”

Fresh off the plane from the East Coast, Schwartz and her husband Tony attended the ‘Aina First-sponsored event featuring restoration ecologist Steven Apfelbaum last week. “I was impressed,” she remarked.

“It’s wonderful to explore what’s possible to meet our collective needs in a way that’s inclusive and gives people a role. I like that respect seems to be at the heart of the discussion,” she added.

No capes, but heroes of a healthy ecosystem nonetheless

'Dumbo' is a Flop-o Who thought the author of Scream 3 was the right person for this? ★★★★★ Rated PG / 113 Min.

PHOTO COURTESY IMDB

T

he 1941 Dumbo is one of Disney’s most beloved, emotionally rich, and rewarding animated films. It’s about a baby pachyderm, born in the circus, who is torn from his mother and turned into a circus freak but finds acceptance after discovering he can fly. The 2019 Dumbo is about how a oncereliable company took another former masterpiece, crassly re-tooled it, and created a stinker.

The fault doesn’t lie entirely with director Tim Burton, who does the same professional but impersonal job Kenneth Branagh did on Cinderella. With just a few glimpses of a “Nightmare”-themed carnival attraction that suggest the movie Burton really wanted to make, this could have been directed by anyone. The set design is the only element here that works.

The biggest reason Dumbo is a flop-o can be found in Ehren Krueger’s terrible screenplay (who in the world thought the author of Scream 3 was the right person for this?).

Burton and Krueger deserve credit for not simply making a shot-by-shot live action remake, but that’s the only bold choice here.

Not only is this no longer a musical, the fun is gone, too. One movie is a colorful and funny circus tale, while the other is about Colin Ferrell’s one-armed, wife-less, lifeless circus performer. Note to the Mouse House: Please stop casting Ferrell in Disney movies.

Other than being cute, Dumbo and the other circus animals are a lot like the dinosaurs in the latest Jurassic World: impressively detailed but devoid of personality. Especially disappointing is the relationship between baby Dumbo and Mama Jumbo; in the animated classic, this union provided powerful scenes, most memorably the wrenching “Baby Mine” sequence (which is poorly restaged here).

Oddly missing is a recreation of the lovely, wordless bubble bath sequence.

Some alterations make sense, like losing the non-P.C. crows. Otherwise, the nods to the cartoon are sheepish, like the barely-there ode to “Pink Elephants on Parade,” that will bring to mind the rotten Flubber remake.

The actors give performances that are either off-pitch or just plain embarrassing. I’m not sure what Michael Keaton is attempting here, as he occasionally slips into his Beetlejuice voice and badly hams it up. Danny De Vito, sadly embracing a Christopher Walkenlike self parody phase of his career, works

At least racist crows are gone

hard but delivers little. I won’t name the child actors but will note how they’re alarmingly robotic and unconvincing. Only Eva Green, playing Keaton’s squeeze and a trapeze artist, gives any real spark, though her character, like everyone else’s, is devoid of depth.

The harsh incidents from the animated film make this a bad choice for a live action adaptation. Whether Dumbo is CGI or not, it’s no fun to watch animals get abused. There’s no awe to the clunky circus sequences, and the band of “freaks” who aide Dumbo are as clichéd and insufferable as the outcasts from the equally lousy The Greatest Showman. Seriously folks, there hasn’t been a good movie about the circus since Big Top Pee-Wee.

By taking away the voices and focus from the circus animals and, instead, spotlighting the lousy human characters, this steps wrong immediately and just gets worse. We see Dumbo fly so often, there’s no suspense or surprise to the spectacle.

As for legendary wrestling announcer Michael Buffer’s extended cameo, there (hopefully) won’t be a more painful movie moment this year than hearing him declare, “Let’s get ready to Dumbooooo!” However, a close second may go to whoever decided that a certain one-armed man would be the perfect person to climb atop a massive circus tent, and cut a hole for an elephant escape. Think about that for a moment. ■

Horoscope

Celebrating

25 Years

Sign Language ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Finally, the spotlight is on you! Don’t blink, or you might miss it, though. Also, don’t look or listen behind you, or you might notice the handful of asses in the wings booing and jeering and doing their very best to salt your game. This is your very brief but glorious moment to shine; are you going to let your naysayers ruin it for you? Use that famous single-mindedness of yours to enjoy it to the fullest and tune them out completely. You can worry about them later, when you’re not in the middle of something that could be potentially incredible. Right now, though, I’d enjoy that.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Usually you’re happy with things as they are, but occasionally you get hungry for just that little bit of excitement and adventure. Most of the time, you suppress this urge, for fear that your desires could ruin all the good stuff you have. This week, however, you should feel free to indulge, within reason. You’ve earned a lot of good credit; go spend some of it. Enjoy yourself, and come back happy. Those you love will be glad to see you go there, even if you do misbehave a little.

The only caveat to all these naughty good times: whatever you do get up to, don’t lie about it later.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

You can’t rely on technicalities to save your ass. Obeying the letter of the law but not its spirit is sneaky, and you know it. I don’t care if you helped write the law and included this loophole specifically – those whose trust you violate are going to call shenanigans, and they’re right. If you decide to go there anyway, don’t try to defend yourself with semantics. There are so many people ready to call you out on that bullshit, it’s not funny. Go on and do what you want, if it’s that important to you, but don’t think you can do it and not get caught – and probably (at least metaphorically) spanked.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Your incredibly astute perception is more weakness than strength this week. Because you’re able to read between the lines of what’s before you, and assess how people really feel – as opposed to how they say they feel – you have access to extra information. You could use that information to empower yourself, but you’re most likely to use it to make yourself feel bad, hold yourself back, and generally sabotage the situation. Can you stop yourself from doing that, Cancer?

If not, perhaps you could try another strategy: ignoring your gut. That goes against what you’re all about, I know – but if your intuition is only going to make you miserable right now, what good is it?

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

You can be a little bit of an elitist. Although your standards don’t necessarily match those of others, or of society, you still place value on certain things and those who don’t seem to be up to snuff just don’t get the time of day from you. Fine. No one’s asking you to go out and make friends who don’t turn your crank. However, your snobbiness could have negative repercussions for you, this week, because some of those people you consider so far beneath you could actually contribute quite a lot to your life – if you’d bother to let them play even a minor role in it.

Some people are simply always going to bug you.

Being who you are, they’re probably going to notice, eventually, that you’re not exactly beaming love and affection their way. What do you do when they approach you about it? Your natural inclination is to just tell the truth, but in this case, I’d say spare yourself the headache. Stirring up this shit isn’t likely to get them to change, and, to be fair, this is as much your baggage as anything to do with them. Tell them you’re moody and not to worry about it – and resolve to try to be nicer to them in the future, starting this week.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

This situation has nothing to do with you, right? Well, I guess so. You could easily walk away from it, mind your own business, and wait for it to blow over. But once again, you have the advantage of a unique, reasonably objective perspective. Paired with your charisma, that could enable you to mitigate the drama and spare a lot of hurt feelings all around. I can understand your reluctance to wade into a huge mess you didn’t help create, but do its origins really matter? What matters is that you have more power to make it go away faster than anyone else already involved. Won’t you exercise it?

You’re good at letting the big stuff slide. You can make huge decisions almost flippantly, because you’ve laid the foundation for them by attending to all the little details underneath. Unfortunately, it’s exactly those details that trip you up. Your focus on the nittygritty is frequently – and especially lately – a source of annoyance and frustration for you. I’m sure you often wish you could just ignore them the way other people seem to. However, I urge you to look at the flip side of that intense awareness – an appreciation for the details. There’s tremendous beauty to be found among them, beauty that most others simply aren’t privy to.

Use that beauty to counterbalance the aggravation that comes with attending to those fundamentals that other people are able to (but shouldn’t) ignore.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

You get what you want except when you’re not sure what you want. Then you flounder. This is totally unfamiliar territory, and terribly confusing to you. That’s why you need to turn to someone who’s used to navigating in this kind of fog. A Pisces, perhaps? This may feel strange, seeking advice from someone you usually think of as flaky and undirected, but it’s the smartest thing you can do right now. They won’t be able to tell you how to make the swift forward progress that you’re used to – that, after all, simply isn’t possible right now.

But they will be able to tell you how to at least move forward, slowly – instead of backward or in circles.

You want to be generous to someone, but you’ve mostly been denied the avenue you would’ve preferred. Instead of giving up completely, you need to rethink your strategy. You’ll need to be a lot more creative about ways to exercise your generosity.

You’ll also probably need to let go of any chance of getting “credit” for your gift. Be sneaky and make sure its origins are truly impossible to trace (a lame cover-up job will backfire on you), so that the recipient has no choice but to accept it. If it’s truly a gift, it shouldn’t matter that it’s come from you, should it?

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Fresh, Fast Casual Mexican Food fused with the flavors of Hawaii & served with Aloha!

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

You’re generally reluctant to even try something new unless you know, ahead of time, that you’re likely to be quite good at it right off the bat. That’s understandable, but also a shame, because some of the things you could be genius at would require plenty of time, practice, and embarrassing failures to get to that point.

I know you’re disinclined to endure the mildly humiliating learning process involved in beginning something completely new. Screw that. We all start somewhere.

Considering the awesome place you could end up, I say get over yourself and give this a go, already.

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

Serving Maui!

Sometimes your friends regard you as a sage, possessing abundant philosophical wisdom. Sometimes, though, some people regard you with something akin to scorn for the way you live your life. This week, especially, the dichotomy may prove especially frustrating. What you need to keep in mind to get through the hypocrisy is that no one else is in a position to really understand what your life is like and how you see things. They can’t judge you, one way or the other, because they can’t be inside your head. That’s not to say no one can or should expect anything from you – however it’s your choice whether or not you can or should meet those expectations. Regardless, they can’t and should not judge you for it, either way.

Now that he’s feeling so much better, Horace is ready to cuddle his way into your arms and better yet your home!
