LettersTothe Editor Ryan’s Imbroglio Travis Henderson’s opinion regarding former Illinois governor George Ryan’s commutations of 156 inmate death sentences could use some context. Mr. Henderson questions Governor Ryan’s motives as well as his actions apparently without knowing the political maelstrom which precipitated Governor Ryan’s actions.

While George Ryan was serving as the secretary of State of Illinois, commercial driver’s licenses were granted to unqualified applicants for bribes. Some fatal accidents were caused by these illegitimately licensed drivers and the whole scandal blew open after George Ryan became governor.

Although no link to George Ryan personally was established, this occurred during his watch as Secretary of State and his tenure as Governor was tarnished by it. So tarnished, in fact, that he chose not to run for re-election and his party’s candidate, Jim Ryan (no relation) was soundly beaten.

Illinois now has its first Democratic governor in over a quarter-century as a result.

With this imbroglio as the most prominent feature of his administration, it appears that he found a way to establish a much more positive legacy. Governor Ryan’s commutation of 156 death sentences is by far the most significant action in the debate over the death penalty that this country has ever seen. Nothing about his past history would have indicated that he really cares about prisoners, much less convicted murders. This is evidently nothing more than an attempt to influence the public perception of his gubernatorial record.

It seems to be working as Mr. Henderson made no mention of the scandal in his “ForceFed” column.

The American public has become inured to political scandals. Since no actual connection between Secretary of State Ryan and the bribes was established, his roll will fade into obscurity, as the boldness of his stand against the death penalty will be debated for years to come. If only other civic leaders could do so much good in trying to rectify their public images.

Sincerely, Stephen W. Jones Blessman

Reply Mr. Stephen W. Jones Blessman: I appreciate your historical insight and ironically, I think we actually agree on this issue. However, my ForceFed column concerning then-Illinois Governor Ryan had nothing to do with his past, which was why I made no mention of the scandal. To be honest with you, I really don’t care what kind of scandals the man had behind him. I do care that in a desperate and hollow attempt to create a lasting legacy (isn’t that what all politicians want?) on his last days in office, Gov. Ryan dipped his hands into an issue that deserves serious consideration. But not from someone three hours away from leaving office.

Some Things Are Just Not Acceptable How can it be acceptable to spend more money on prisons and prisoners than on schools and students? My son started 6th grade at Lokelani school this past fall. The conditions are despicable. There is no air conditioning (except in the office). The classrooms are sweltering almost year-round (if this was New York, would the rooms not have heat?). There is no cold running water on the PE field. On several occasions, I’ve used student bathrooms where there was no toilet paper or paper towels available. Rodents are all over campus. Teachers and students are being threatened and even hurt by students.

The health room has very limited supplies.

The PTA pays the phone bill for the counselors’ office. Parents are not alerted to incidents regarding weapons, drugs, and violence on campus. I think someone needs to address this and something must be done to change it.

How can it be acceptable to spend more money on tourism than on education? Why is it acceptable for giant hotels to pay similar taxes as average homeowners? How is it acceptable for Hawaii parents to work two or more jobs at minimal wages, in luxury hotels, restaurants, golf courses, and spas that are immaculately kept, to service spoiled rich people, while they and their children cannot only not afford to eat, stay, or golf at these places, but also have to tolerate the unacceptable conditions at school?

What does this say about these huge corporations? What does this say about us, the ones who live here and do nothing about it?

A concerned parent, Patti Thibaudeau, Kihei

Product Stewardship Needed For Phonebooks Once again Maui is burdened with the waste from an out-of-state company. I refer to the recent distribution, by AdVentures of Blaine, Washington, of the third phone book in as many months to our residents and businesses.

I spoke with Crystal in the corporate office in Blaine, asking her what the company’s plan was to recycle their obsolete phone books. Her response was, “Take them to a recycling center.” When I told her Maui doesn’t have such a thing, she said, “You’ve got to be kidding!”

No, unfortunately I’m not kidding. We have no recycling center, reuse facility, MRF (materials recovery facility) or any choice but the landfill for most of our imported waste such as old phone books.

The phone book’s sales department told us they distributed 80,000 books on Maui alone, not including Lanai and Molokai. At two pounds apiece, that’s 160,000 pounds of books that will ultimately end up in our landfill. That’s 80 tons!

It’s time we stopped allowing off-shore companies to export products to our state without demanding that they take care of the resultant waste. A good example to follow is California’s new “product stewardship” legislation.

OPINIONS By Travis Henderson Live Entertainment!

MAYBE WAR IS THE SOLUTION I just took a trip to the mainland and as I journeyed through the labyrinth disguised as a security checkpoint at Kahului airport, I couldn’t help but ask myself - How the hell did a small group of religious idiots completely turn this country upside down?

Seriously, these fundamentalists have us so paranoid we don’t know which way is up. The nation goes to Code Orange and everyone’s balls turn blue. Blue and orange! That’s not a good combo.

Here on Maui, we’re considered far enough away that we stay in “guarded alert” and yet I still have to run the gauntlet at the security checkpoint in the airport. I felt like a rat trying to find his way through the maze and I began to wonder if simply making it to my flight on time was considered my piece of cheese.

So, because I care so deeply about all of you readers out there, I’m going to let you in on a little secret: put your cell phone in that little plastic tray the security guard has next to the electronic walk-through scanner. Because if that thing beeps for any reason, your trip through the security maze just got a lot longer.

Before, if the scanner beeped when you walked through, they just made you back up, empty your pockets into the tray and then re-enter. If it didn’t beep the second time around, you were good to go.

Not anymore.

Now, if that thing even so much as hints at a beep you’re going off to the left while the non-beeping people go to the right and breeze on through the check-point.

To the left is the land of the un-smiling security guards. There, they have a guy (unless you’re a girl in which case they have a female security guard. You know, taking precautions after so many male

guards in the beginning of this terror alert thing used the heightened security as an excuse to feel up women) with the hand-held scanner.

First and foremost, though, you have to take off your shoes and stand there with your arms outstretched and your feet spread apart like you’re being frisked by the cops. It’s not very dignified. He then starts with the wand around your feet and moves up. Anything that beeps must be removed. You know what else beeps besides cell phones? Belt buckles - and a lot of people wear belts.

So there I was taking off my shoes, my belt, and emptying everything from my pockets into yet another little plastic tray. Once he sifted through everything in the little tray and was satisfied that I didn’t have anything on me that could takeover the plane, he tells me to head to the side, where I reassemble myself along with fifteen other people who made the mistake of taking something through the scanner that set off the beeping. There were so many of us getting undressed and redressed, I thought I was in an open-air dressing room at Nordstrom’s. And all the while, people in line who haven’t gone through the scanner yet are looking at you going, “God, I hope I don’t set the beeper off and end up like those guys.”

And what do I see after I make it through the maze and head towards my piece of cheese?

Two National Guardsmen standing off to the sides with M-16’s over their shoulder. And I think to myself, a small group of sand-sucking, Koran-misinterpreting A-holes responsible for 9/11 have turned me into a suspect in my own country. And I’m sick of it.

It’s unacceptable to have to run a security gauntlet complete with National Guards and M-16’s at a small airport on a tropical island 3000 miles from the mainland U.S. And anybody who is responsible, whether it’s Saddam or Osama, deserves to be taken out. Because we do not deserve to live like rats in a maze.

Being recently disabled and not having much income, I only dream of filling my cart with tons of goodies at the story. I am grateful just to fill my little hand basket with the small amount I get from social security. I am thankful for the programs that are in place to assist those that have disabilities or have fallen on hard times. Recently, while at the health food store in Paia I witnessed for myself what I hear about all time. There are people who are blatantly abuse the system of assistance for the needy. Trustafarians, Daddies’ little Deadheads, burnt-up washed-out losers.

People like you, lady, who drive up in your $50,000 Lexus 4x4 and park in front of the store. You fill your cart to the top with foods of all kinds. In your attractive and trendy clothes, you proceed to the checkout and pay with your government assistance. Did you ever stop to think you aren’t fooling anyone but yourself? Just because you choose to not have a job does not mean you have “fallen on hard times”. We know you didn’t get that car with your food stamps. You steal from those whose needs are real and you are too lazy to make your way in this life without robbing others to do so. You should be ashamed of yourself! For that reason I reported you to State Officials to see if you are indeed taking from the truly needy. -Down & Out in Paia’s Poverty Paradise

Maui Activists Pose for Peace PHOTO: KIRSTEN GUENTHER

Hey World, Maui supports peaceful resolution of the conflict with Iraq Over a thousand people gathered on the lawn at Maui Community College last Sunday to participate in the Maui Peace Portrait and related festivities. Organized

by Maui Peace Action, the portrait will be printed on large postcards intended to send a message to Washington and the world: Maui supports peaceful resolution of the conflict with Iraq.

The roots of the conflict date back to 1980, when the U.S. and the major European powers armed Saddam Hussein and assisted his regime with their weapons development programs, hoping that an Iraqi invasion of Iran might stifle an Islamic revolution and stabilize the region somewhat. In 1990, Iraqi troops occupied Kuwait with the intent to annex the oil-rich nation. A global effort, led by America, unseated the invading force and has since been engaged in a struggle to wrest from the regime the weapons that the West originally supplied. Now support for a new military campaign to oust Hussein has been flagging.

Meanwhile, on Maui, a group of dedicated community members has been coordinating support for peace since last December. Adopting the name Maui Peace Action, they advertised an open invitation to their planning meetings, including one on the 6th of January where a peace march and the Peace Portrait were conceived.

news

Sally Raisbeck, a founding member of Maui Peace Action and a principle organizer of the Peace Portrait, was pleasantly surprised by the substantial community response. “ I am absolutely in awe of the fact that this great event, as well as our very successful peace march on January 18th, has come together through the work of people, most of whom didn’t even know each other before January 6th.” The success of the January 6th meeting inspired 450 people to march from the War Memorial Stadium to Kaahumanu Mall on January 18th, in fortuitous solidarity with protesters around the world.

Cindy Wolpin, a graphic designer on vacation in Maui from Port Townsend, WA, attended the meeting and described how her hometown had come together in opposition to a preemptive strike in Iraq. 800 people from a community of 8500 gathered on a local football field to take a group photo to promote peace.

Raisbeck credits Wolpin with making the Maui Peace Portrait possible. “Cindy has been instrumental, this wouldn’t have happened without her.” The steering committee thought the idea of a portrait was brilliant. Wolpin committed her vacation time to the effort and brought her friend and former neighbor, Steve Grimes on board. Together they secured donations of time and equipment for the event: the photographer, a cherry picker, a sound system and all the musicians. The Maui Peace Action steering committee, led by Raisbeck and Mele Stokesberry, arranged the location and the

speakers, and promoted the event.

Their efforts produced a smashing success.

The diversity of the attendees, from grandmothers to schoolchildren, trade workers to artists, hippies to veterans, showed that many on Maui share Raisbeck’s desire to “show the world we don’t want this war.”

Volunteers arrived early in the morning to prepare, and by 11:30 AM the stage was set. At 1:00 PM Vinnie Linares welcomed the participants and opened the festivities. Gail Swanson started off the music with a passionate arrangement of John Lennon’s “Imagine”, including an extra line she had added for the event: “Imagine George Bush thinking/I wonder if he can.”

The program also included several speakers. Some of the most inspiring of these were Ah Quon McElrath, a retired social worker and Regent of the University of Hawaii, and Kyle Kajihiro, Executive Director of American Friends Service Committee. McElrath, who looks like a kindly grandmother and sounds like a vigorous firebrand, compared the current climate of resistance favorably to that of the Vietnam era saying, “Now we are analyzing issues before the war begins.” She also insisted, “Equity and justice can never be won if two-thirds of the tax benefits go to one-fifth of the richest people in America,” and “Nothing in the world should bring us to shed blood for oil.” Kajihiro reminded the audience of the history of U.S. aggression in Hawaii and made a compelling case that a war in Iraq would not be a war for peace or a war against terrorism but instead a “war for empire.”

More speeches and music followed. The organizers did an impressive job of keeping the event orderly and on time, and for the most part the speakers stayed away from

the podium pounding rhetoric that can make such events seem like aggravated high school spirit rallies. At 3:00 PM the crowd moved swiftly to the lower field for the photograph.

While the photographer was lifted 50-feet into the air on the platform of the cherry picker, the protestors chanted, sang, “ Give Peace a Chance”, and waved signs saying, “One World, One Love”, “Stop Mad Cowboy Disease”, and “Boards not Bombs”, among others.

After the portrait was taken, Gail Swanson took the stage once again to wrap up the event.

A tangible feeling of unity and participation infused the crowd as they cleared the field.

Sally Raisbeck was justly pleased with the turnout, and said she found it “inspiring to work with people who are coming from the most spiritual place in their lives.”

The Peace Portrait will be printed in full color on a 6”-by-9” postcard. A first run of 5000 will be available starting March 8th in various locations around Maui. Maui Peace Action requests a donation for the cards to cover production costs of the Peace Portrait and to support future events.

Marcos Martin Parra, 18, hit the basketball court again in January, only six months after having his head nearly severed from his body in a traffic collision caused by a drunken driver. Parra’s skull had been ripped from the cervical spine and neck ligaments, leaving the head fragilely attached, only by the spinal cord. At St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix, Dr. Curtis Dickman performed first-of-a-kind surgery, which worked so well that Parra lost only about 5 percent of his neck’s range of motion.

THE PRICES OF THINGS (1) Average fee per lawyer working on New York’s portion of the 1998 multistate tobacco settlement (according to New York Supreme Court Justice Charles Ramos in October): $14,000 an hour. (2) For permanent loss of her marital sex life for a 31-year-old Chinese woman (when her husband became impotent after a car crash, according to a Chinese court in October): the equivalent of $2,210. (3) Amount Geneva Burger, 80, earned for uttering one question on an answering machine (“When people get hooked on pot, can they get sick if they don’t get it?”): $515,000 (the amount awarded by a Pomona, Calif., court in December, and from prior settlements, as a result of rap producer Master P’s using the recording without permission on an album).

LATEST RELIGIOUS MESSAGES Seduction Techniques of Priests: (1) Tell the 17-year-old girl that intercourse is a therapeutic method to help her forget her bad experience in a previous sexual assault (allegedly used by Catholic priest Roman Kramek, 40, visiting from Poland, who was arrested in New Britain, Conn., in December). (2) Tell teenage girls planning to become nuns that having sex with him would bring them closer to God, that undressing with him would “link spiritual stages with sexual acts,” and that she should imagine Christ (and not him) touching, kissing and having intercourse with her (allegedly used by Father Robert V. Meffan, according to Boston Archdiocese documents released by plaintiffs’ lawyers in December).

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS A January New York City indictment resulted in the arrest of alleged Colombo family mobster Joe Cacace as the central figure in a whacking gone bad. Imprisoned family head Carmine “the Snake” Persico had ordered Cacace to rub out former federal prosecutor William I. Aronwald, whom Persico said had 10 years earlier disrespected him (although Aronwald had actually lost the case he brought against Persico’s brother). Cacace’s hit men mistakenly whacked Aronwald’s 78-year-old father, an error for which Cacace allegedly had them killed, along with the two men he had hired to kill those two men. Cacace then married Kim Kennaugh, the widow of one of the original hit men, and after Cacace and Kennaugh divorced, Kennaugh married an NYPD officer, who himself got whacked (on Cacace’s orders, prosecutors suspect).

THE THINGS PEOPLE BELIEVE Benny Zavala, 34, was convicted of animal abuse for dissecting his daughter’s pet guinea pig because he said he thought it was a government spy robot (Oxnard, Calif., October).

Christopher Campbell, 42, was arrested and charged with mutilating his beloved house cats because, he said, he thought they were supernatural entities that had changed shapes (Cedar Crest, N.M., November). Gary Damon Stephens, 28, admitted that he killed his parents five years ago but said he stands by his earlier explanation, that the deceased were not his real parents but only the pod people of his parents (Harlan, Ky., October).

The Rise and Fall and Hopeful Future of Gay Maui Maui is not Sydney or San Francisco or New York. It is not a Mecca of gay life. Nor would anyone want it to be, least of all the gay men and women who choose to live here. Since this island is about as far from the bright lights and booming discos of the mainland as you can go, it’s a haven for gay people who want another kind of life. The trouble is that even the quiet pleasures of social existence in gay Maui have been getting fewer in recent years.

Anyone using the web or a guidebook to plan a vacation on Maui would arrive expecting to have a busy time keeping up with all the dances, hikes, picnics, meetings, club dates

and special events. But, no. The web-sites full of news of gay Maui are out of date, way out of date, and so is the only all-gay guidebook, “Rainbow Handbook: Hawaii” by Matthew Link. Maybe it’s hard to keep up, and maybe the webmasters and publishers just aren’t that eager to report the bad news. Some of the gay-friendly accommodations listed in guides—most more retreat than resort—are still operating. This may supply some comfort to visitors, but what about gay people who live here? The answer seems to be that they’re pretty much up a proverbial creek without much of a paddle, and the water is getting deeper all the time.

Link says in the most recent edition of his Handbook that the county Liquor Commission harassed the gay bars that were operating in Maui in the 1990’s. Blue Tropix in Lahaina is now Warren and Annabelle’s magic dinner show. Hamburger Mary’s in Wailuku is long gone. Kihei’s Lava Lounge went under in 1998. Since then, there has been only one very feeble attempt to run a business intended to serve the local and resident gay population. That’s Jabba’s Place in Kihei, where the tone of the place shifted constantly between the spirit of the International House of Pancakes that formerly occupied its Azeka Place location, and the spirit of an

old-style, not far out of the closet, mainland gay bar.

Gay men and women were buzzing with the rumor that Jabba’s was finally going to be a real gay bar in mid-January, but at the very height of the buzz, the new manager was gone, and the doors were locked. And that was the end of that dream.

So, by late-January, the search was on for gay anything in Paradise. Hapa’s continues its nearly eight-year-long tradition of “Ultra Fabulous Tuesday” nights. They say the gay and lesbian dance night is a great success and a lot of fun, but a few nightclub hours once a week does not constitute a gay community.

The Rise and Fall of Gay Maui

For two decades there has been a gay community organization on Maui called Both Sides Now (BSN). Some web guides still promise monthly cookouts and a newspaper, both produced by BSN. Actually, the board of directors of the charitable organization has dwindled to about three active and involved members.

There are no gay cookouts, and the “Out in Maui” newspapers folded last year.

Nonetheless, remaining BSN board member Michael Healey says, “Absolutely, there is a gay community on Maui. It’s just a quiet community.” He estimates the gay population of the island at about 8,000—a smaller statistical percentage than in mainland metropolises, but not an insignificant number either.

Louise Russell, another board member—better known as Breeze—adds, “But it’s the same 100 people plus a few visitors who come out for every BSN event.”

Healey and Russell agree that part of the problem is that gay people who choose to live on Maui do so “to get away from the night life.

They’re burned out on it.” Healey, a lifelong Hawaii resident raised on Oahu, says the other big problem is internalized homophobia, which amounts to a low opinion of oneself based on the expectation of denigration by others. The result is a reticence to go where gay people are or to be clearly identified as gay or lesbian. This may be tragic for an individual, but it is also deadly for any business that sets out to serve the gay community.

Dean Wong, Director of HIV Prevention and Education Services at the Maui AIDS Foundation (MAF), describes himself as having arrived on Maui in 1995 “more ready for nesting than night life.” He also points out that the primary crowd age for mainland social activities like dance clubs is 20-something, a group that is not yet ready to choose life on an essentially rural island.

Over the years, as Wong says, “The most active sources of gay events have been the drag queens. They go to a place like Bada Bing or Maui Pizza Café or Jabba’s and say ‘let us put on our show and we’ll get the people in here.’ It works,” he continues, “partly because people can think of that as a safe place. If drag queens can be there, it must be safe for everyone.” He also says that he has seen the drag queens work hard to build something up, only to see the crowds drift away.

Jon Lawrence—along with his friends Rick Piva and Raleigh Docchio—founded a group called Pot Luck Pals in 1999. They attended one of the MAF-supported “Koffee Klutches” at Starbucks and, with permission, signed up men who wanted to get together monthly for a pot-luck dinner. He says his group is growing strong, even though both of his co-founders have left Maui in the meantime. But, as the Pals look forward to their fourth anniversary, the demise of Jabba’s Place leaves them with no place to have a party larger than the ones they hold regularly in the homes of members.

Lawrence also knows that many of his regulars don’t want to go to any public place, or “at least not to places that are too public.”

The Pot Luck Pals’ invite list is approaching 300, and as many as 75 have attended events

in the past, but with no gay-friendly venue they’re limited to about 40 at each monthly gathering. Space is allotted on a first-come basis, and growth is limited by the size of whatever dining room, lanai or deck a member can provide.

Dean Wong and David Wells who worked together at MAF were long considered the go-to guys for gay events on Maui. Wells has moved away, and the events line at MAF in mid-January was still touting a busy schedule, but the tape was listing events for July 2002: a gay hike in Haleakala crater, Queer Speed Dating at Hapa’s, Gay Asian and Pacific Islanders hosting a cook-off and something called a “Paradise Ride” weekend. That was then. More recent months do not include AIDS Foundation sponsored events.

The Department of Health allowed MAF to produce and support community events at one time, when there were no continuing opportunities for AIDS education outreach, but no more. And, as Wells admits, “It isn’t right for the Department of Health to be producing events with alcohol.” The funding for these things stopped at a time when there were places and events for gay people which MAF could participate in and attend to reach its gay target population. That clearly only works if there are events produced in and for the gay community, but it gets hard when there are few or none.

MAF now produces community events only a few times a year as fundraisers. Last year’s Maui AIDS Foundation sponsored Volcano Party on Oahu caused a major stir on both sides of the issue when, in conjunction with an all-gay cruise, it attracted huge numbers of gay visitors to Hawaii. Protesters complained about the surge in gay visibility but, perhaps most of all, about the cooperation of the State in promoting a gay event in the same way it promotes other visitor attractions all the time.

That event, less the cruise and probably without the controversy or massive crowds, will be repeated on April 26 this year, followed a week later by a smaller dance on Maui, just as it was in 2002.

For anything regular, but more often than annual, what remains of the once almost hectic gay calendar of Maui—with the exception of Hapa’s Ultra Fabulous Tuesdays—are small, low-key events like the Pot Luck Pals in homes, BSN’s whale watches, and some private gatherings for both men and women if a person is lucky enough to know someone who knows someone who can get an invitation.

The current climate, dominated by a deafening quiet, could spell disaster for Both Sides Now’s charitable efforts. In 2001, the group began to raise funds to support arts education on Maui. From the beginning, the fundraising focus was education, and arts education was particularly singled out when Scottie Flamm, a well-known Hawaii artist, gave the program a big boost with donations of her artwork.

The idea was hard enough to maintain before because, unlike most charities, BSN found itself hard-pressed to find recipients willing to take its money. “They have to know it’s from gay people,” Healey says. Breeze adds that BSN has $1,000.00 in the fund right now, to be given away in 2003 to an arts program

or arts educator “who can take gay money.”

So, if there is a school principal or teacher out there working with art students, unafraid to have it known he or she accepted cash from a gay group, the Scottie Flamm Award money is looking for that person. Last year’s Scottie Flamm Award winner, art teacher Chuck Bloom, used his award to buy “real art supplies, not school supplies” for his students.

Bloom was not a public school teacher on Maui, but taught for the Lahaina Art Society and the Boys & Girls Club of West Maui. He also gave private lessons.

The Future, If There is One

Despite the setbacks of the last year or so, Both Sides Now will still host three Whale Watches in 2003 as well as a snorkeling trip fancifully named “Priscilla”. The idea is to give gay men and women a Maui-style social opportunity while raising money for next year’s Scottie Flamm Award. There will also be a Gay Pride celebration in the summer. “The pride events of the past two years were definitely the high point of gay visibility in Maui,” Healey says. And BSN was forced to create more events each year recently to accommodate everyone. In 2002, there were eight days of events to mark Gay Pride, with more than a dozen events in several different businesses and parks. In 2003, Gay Pride week will become Gay Pride Day. “We’re taking baby steps now, coming back by doing just what we can do ourselves.” The newspaper has reappeared now too, but in “baby steps” format, a single sheet, photocopied on both sides and distributed only to carefully selected sites and addresses.

It’s all quiet on the gay front right now most of the time. Six nights a week, there’s no gay bar or other meeting place. Five days in this calendar year there will be Both Sides Now events, and five times or less there will be AIDS Foundation events. Otherwise, it’s all behind closed doors. And, internalized homophobia aside, it doesn’t have to be like that.

Unasked, Dean Wong said, “Do I think Maui can support a gay bar? Yes, I do.”

Everyone agrees, and there may be one in the future. Meantime, Horhito’s (Bar and) Mexican Restaurant in Lipoa Center, next to Hapa’s, is planning weekly gay nights on Fridays starting at 10:00 PM on February 14.

At least two other bar owners who don’t want their unsettled plans discussed at this point are also considering promoting their businesses as full or part-time gay watering holes.

“What I dream of,” says Michael Healey, “is a gay community center.”

Whether a bar or more gay nights at island businesses or a community center ever happens, the truth is that gay people on Maui don’t have what they need. So, right now, it’s a dark time for gay Maui, but there are sparks flickering in the darkness. Which ones the community fans to full light, if any, remains to be seen.

Jaws Tow-in World Cup 2003 Peahi, also known as Jaws, is one of the premiere big-wave, tow-in surf spots of the world, where the 3rd annual Jaws Tow-in World Cup will be held, and where this big wave extravaganza has been held in the past years. Surfing, as with everything, is always changing, with the advancement of technology and people who are always trying to push the limitations. When waves start breaking over 15-ft (Hawaiian scale), it becomes more difficult to attain as much speed that is needed to catch these gigantic waves by paddling, because they are breaking so fast. Therefore, people started using jet skis around 1996, which broke headway for this new style of surfing, providing the speed needed to catch these waves at the crucial point. Rodney Kilborne, the tournament director originally from Oahu, had seen the few big wave venues at Waimea and Sunset Beach, and realized the need for a contest involving this more extreme type of surfing and these more extreme surfers, which started the Jaws Tow-in World Cup. Dropping in on a wave 25-ft plus is like dropping in on a wave about fourstories plus in height. This contest is only for the invited competitors, because of the obvious potential risks. Do not attempt this type of surfing without years of experience in big waves, meaning 8-15 ft (Hawaiian Scale) because there could be serious risks, even death for those who attempt to ride such huge waves.

As Garrett McNamara, co-winner of last year’s Tow-in World Cup said about the event last year, “I saw the thing setting up when I let go, and I remember when I pulled in, just feeling the lip brushing

my shoulder. Later I talked to [photographer] Darrell Wong and he says he has a photo of that lip missing me by millimeters. If it would’ve hit me, I don’t know.”

The holding period for the 3rd Annual Jaws Tow-in World Cup officially began in December and goes through March, meaning that time is almost up. Thus far, the waves have not reached the minimum wave height of 25-ft to hold this extreme contest.

An expression session was held on January 10, 2003, boasting beautiful conditions with light offshore winds but the waves were only in the 15-ft range. This allowed the 22 invited teams, each team comprised of one surfer and one Jet Ski driver, to warm up. The huge prize purse of $160,500 dollars seems fitting for this huge wave contest, also a great incentive to the winners. This sport is a different caliber of extreme surfing, and takes courage, training and confidence in yourself as well as your partner. As Pete Cabrina, who participated last year said, “Preparation! Half of the sport has nothing to do with your surfing ability. That half has everything to do with your equipment, ski partner and attitude.”

Peahi has been the center of attention for tow-in surfing for years now, showing the obvious attraction to surfing’s constantly changing and relatively new technology, which combines the use of a jet ski, tow board and tow rope to attain more speed to catch these monstrous waves. Hollywood has demonstrated the popularity of huge wave surfing, from capturing epic footage of Peahi and making it the focus of the movie, as well as the trials and tribulations of big wave extremists in the movie, “In God’s Hands”. More recently, for the introduction to the new James’s Bond movie, “Die Another Day”, experienced tow-in

surfers portraying villains with machine guns were shown dropping in at Peahi, or “Jaws”, as it is commonly known.

Peahi, which is accessed through the pineapple fields owned by Maui Land and Pineapple Company, is a beautiful location on the north shore of Maui. This land must be respected and not destroyed in any way. Each pineapple takes years to grow. As Rodney Kilbourne, the Jaws Tow-in World Cup tournament director, said, “When parking, don’t park on the pineapple fields, the pineapple fields provided livelihood for many of the local people long ago, and needs to be respected.” The day of the contest, there will be a shuttle bus to transport people to the event.

The judges will be judging on the following: 1) the wave has to be a minimum of 25-feet, 2) What the position of the surfer is at or near the peak of the wave, 3) The length of the ride, 4) What are the maneuvers used to maintain the position, 5) The contortion of the body and the board. The highest number of points will be awarded to the surfer who rides: 1) In the most critical section of the wave, 2) Biggest wave, and 3) Greatest distance. There will be 3 teams per heat of competition. The best 3 rides of each team will be scored for each of the two rounds to determine the winner. There will be great attention to safety for this extreme contest, with the Maui Water Patrol headed by Archie Kalepa, for the safety of everyone involved.

Spectators can view the contest from the bluff overlooking Peahi. The contest requires huge waves, so keep an eye on the swells and check the status of the contest by checking the contest & updates at <towinsurfer.com> or <towinworldcup.com> or the Jaws Hotline (808) 960-0018. See you there!

The Waterfront Tempura Nobashi, and Baked Triple Cream Danish Brie. I like the Crab Cakes myself, prepared tonight with Roasted Garlic Aioli and Roasted Red Pepper and Balsamic Vinaigrette. The cakes are a blend of rock shrimp and Alaskan Snow Crab and they simply melt in your mouth. We complement this dish with the Pan-Fried Oysters with Chinese Mustard-Soy Remoulade. These decadent delectables are lightly breaded and attractively presented in their own shell.

The Waterfront lets you become your own chef when it comes to fresh fish. They provide a full page of information describing the different kinds of Hawaiian fish, so you know exactly what you’re getting. Pick your finned weapon of choice then match it with one of nine different preparations. My favorite is the Island Style, featuring your choice of sautéed, broiled, poached or baked fish with Black Tiger prawns, Jasmine rice, sautéed scallions, carrots, and Shiitake mushrooms in a lemongrass, ginger, and coconut milk jus lie. It’s incredibly light and flavorful. They also offer Sicilian Style Provençal, En Bastille (a crispy potato prison), Baked with Alaskan King Crab Stuffing, Southwestern Flair, and a la Meuniere, to name a few.

Meats and other seafood abound as well. There are Jumbo Scallops, Prime Rib, Scampi, Lobster, Veal Scaloppine a la Picatta, Filet Diane, Cioppino, and many more. The Center-Cut Pork Chop catches my eye, with wild mushroom and Maui onion hash, sweet Marsala, Chinese Plum and thyme reduction sauce and a saffron-garlic mashed potato cake. But wait, here’s an eight-bone Roasted Rack of Lamb rubbed with garlic and black pepper and served with Szechuan Peppercorn Demi-glace. Mmm. . . lamb.

goes wonderfully with my second bottle of Kangaroo wine (Bambi guilt).

The Waterfront Restaurant is a must-try for your classic fine dining occasion or just a little walk on the wild side. Call ahead for reservations at 244-9028 and guarantee yourself a part in this ongoing Ma’alaea tradition.

There’s a place on Maui’s southern shore that you probably need to hear about to find. It’s near the fishing boats moored at Ma’alaea Harbor, nearly equidistant from Wailea, Kaanapali, and the north shore. It’s the Waterfront Restaurant, a much-loved fine dining establishment that’s perfect for all of your special occasions, big or small.

This past week’s big occasion, of course, was Valentine’s. Amateur Night, as I like to call it. A night when every lonely, penny-pinching miser out there foregoes his usual Hungry Man frozen dinner for an elegant, fine dining experience, hoping to score the big goal. I avoided it all this year by celebrating a day early, though it looks like I’m not the only one as I step through the doors to a packed house.

Our table outside on the lanai is perfect for our special occasion, with a gorgeous ocean view and a slight mist of salt spray in the air. We order pupus quickly and read through the wine list. It’s extensive and covers a broad price range.

There’s even a special “Animal” wine list, which incorporates vineyards with an animal related name (Leaping Stag, etc.) and donates a portion of the proceeds to the Maui Humane Society. I like the idea, and to be honest, I feel a little guilty about my irrational love of lamb. A nice bottle of Kangaroo Island Shiraz should work wonders on my conscience.

The dinner menu has a good selection of hot and cold appetizers, from Salmon Gravlax, Oysters on the Half Shell, and Pan-Seared Sashimi Salad to Imported French Escargot, Shrimp

It sounds really good, but even the lamb gets beaten out tonight. Chef Bob offers a wild, exotic Game du Jour, and tonight it’s New Zealand Red Deer with Raspberry Port Demi-glace. How can I possibly resist such a tempting new experience? It’s every bit as tender and flavorful as I expect, and

WINE OF THE

WEEK

BY ANTHONY MOORE

La Carraia Umbria, Italy - 2001 Sangiovese

$11.99

This week’s wine pick is La Carraia 2001 Sangiovese from Umbria, Italy. Sangiovese is probably Italy’s most famous grape. It is widely planted throughout the middle part of the country, mainly Tuscany, and is a big part of the super Tuscan wines. Classically, Sangiovese is light and spicy with a dry finish. Although, sometimes you can find full-bodied, dark Sangiovese wines that are rich and show a lot of chocolate character.

This depends on the area they’re grown and the age of the vines. The older the vines are, the darker and more intense the fruit is, thus producing a more complex wine.

It’s not easy to find the chocolate-style Sangiovese; they really don’t come around too often - at least, not to the islands.

Recently, though, I stumbled upon a pretty tasty one! It is from an area outside of Tuscany in a small region called Umbria. In a few more years, more aromas will come out, as will the fullness on the palate. Though this wine is great now, it will be even better if you let it sit for awhile, and enjoy it later!

Love is in the air

The Musical Ninea

I’ve known my roommate, Demune, for quite a while, but he’s still something of an enigma to me. We’re both home a lot, but I normally only see him on his way to or from his bedroom, where he holes himself up day after day. Late at night I’ve been awoken by strange yet oddly appealing noises coming from his bedroom, like some sort of alien hip hop music. Apparently, Demune rarely sleeps.

He’s told me that he feels like it’s a waste of time. Instead, he spends every waking moment honing his stunning instrumental and vocal compositions, with as little time as possible set-aside for sleep, eating, hygiene and work. Demune’s girlfriend is often jealous; he is the rope in a tug-ofwar between her and music. Usually, it’s the music that wins.

From my observations, I’ve come to the conclusion that Demune can be com-

pared to a traditional ninja. He’s like a ninja of rap - disciplined, never wavering from his goals. He trains constantly to improve his skills and keep his mind razor sharp. Every night, no matter how long he’s worked or how sick he may be, Demune practices performing his verses live. Sometimes he sits for hours transcribing and studying other rappers’ lyrics and deliveries. He also devotes a large portion of his time to the art of freestyling, sitting in confinement, spitting rapid-fire poetry as he plucks it from the atmosphere.

And his discipline has paid off, if you ask me. During the time that I’ve known Demune, I’ve watched him grow into perhaps the greatest hip-hop vocalist/rapper that the world has ever known. And I’m not saying that just because he’s my roommate. The work he puts into his craft shows! On the rare occasions that Demune performs live, he stuns crowds with his powerful command of the stage, piercing-

ly effective words, and masterfully executed delivery. And every day his talent seems to grow exponentially. Lately, his production quality has reached a point of ultra-high fidelity, a result of hours upon hours of tedious listening, adjusting, studying, and readjusting.

You might be thinking, “Wow, it must be cool to live in the presence of such a great talent,” and in a sense it is, but sometimes Demune can be sort of a pain. Since he barely sleeps, it’s not uncommon for him to be in a bad mood. I might be sitting in the living room and he’ll walk through. I’ll say something like, “Hey man,” and he’ll just keep walking without looking at me. Sometimes I wonder if he hates me. Once I tried to talk to him about always leaving the kitchen a mess and he got really mad at me for about a week (sometimes he leaves a plate full of food on the counter until it gets moldy). Sometimes the other roommates and I wish that Demune would hang out and watch a video with us or something, but no, he never has time for such petty things. The only way I’ve ever been able to spend much time with him is when we make music together.

But all in all, Demune is a great guy. Even though his rigorous schedule makes being his roommate difficult at times, I feel blessed to know him. He’s a genuinely thoughtful and caring person behind his sometimes-standoffish outer persona. It’s also really cool to bear witness to his awesome musical creations on a daily basis. On top of that, he sometimes inspires me to get my act together and work harder. So I say hooray for Demune!

Now that I’ve gotten you all interested in Demune, I’d like to let you know that he’ll be performing live at the Mark Mothersbaugh art showing at Hapa’s in Kihei, on the 20th of this month (tonight!), along with a bunch of other cool music acts such as myself (The Mole), Hinterlander, Puritan, Juha, #20 Dragonfly, and Dispell. If you’re interested in owning some Demune music on CD, visit www.snailonastick. com. And stay tuned for his upcoming album, which is going to be earth shattering.

Note: I showed this article to Demune and he said that I over-exaggerated, but really I haven’t.

By Cole Smithey

Darkness Mauls Ben Affleck Is The Superhero In The Goat’s Blood Suit developing his other four senses and kicking the butts of his former bullies, while his dad makes a short-lived boxing comeback by refusing to throw the big fight for his mob bosses.

It’s not the smartest thing for Jack to do, but the consequences give Matt the impetus to fight crime as a revenge-based value that dates back to Batman’s origins.

The adult Matt lives a customary superhero solitary lifestyle, with a rack of back-up costumes and weapons in a dark penthouse where he re-energizes for his busy dual life.

One reason for the movie’s thin rendering of Matt’s personality is that he interacts primarily with his longtime friend Franklin ‘Foggy’ Nelson (Jon Favreau - “Made”), whose fraternity brother disposition diminishes Matt’s IQ whenever the two share a scene together.

Even the romance that boils between Matt and Electra lacks an essential physical connection between the lovers who barely even kiss.

However, their relationship makes for a key element in the visual effects department when it’s revealed that Matt can use his hyper-acute “radar sense” of hearing to “see” Electra when raindrops fall on her face. It’s this “Shadow World” of perception that allows Daredevil to dodge bullets and leap fearlessly between buildings when he’s imposing justice on New York’s underworld.

“Daredevil” hits high gear when Kingpin calls in Bullseye (Colin Farrell - “The Recruit”) to assassinate Electra’s father for his recent withdrawal from Kingpin’s organization of crime. Colin Farrell brings a clever inventiveness to the few scenes that he has, and it’s the film’s most glaring flaw that the psychotic but incredibly accurate Bullseye isn’t allowed a larger stake in the movie. The beautifully choreographed fight scenes between Electra, Daredevil and Bullseye are mesmerizing for their spectacle and ruthlessness, but lack the gravitas that more screen time for the villain would have provided.

Last year’s “Spider-Man” is a tough act to follow and even though both are Marvel Comics characters, with “Daredevil” cutting closer to the darker aspects of its hero’s tragedy-ridden existence, “Daredevil” lacks the benefit of homespun civilian life of Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker. As a blind attorney, Matt Murdock (Affleck - “Changing Lanes”) only takes on “innocent” clients, something he ascertains by listening to their heartbeats with his overdeveloped sense of hearing. But there’s only one courtroom scene of Murdock the attorney in action, and his law skills are anything but impressive - he loses the case. The lack of scope into Murdock’s character, along with similarly absent layers in ancillary characters like Matt’s fighting machine girlfriend Electra Natchios (Jennifer Garner - “Alias”), or the evil Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan), subtract from the film’s surprisingly fatalistic narrative. Nevertheless, “Daredevil” offers a few atypically Hollywood surprises that comic fans will savor.

Director/writer Mark Steven Johnson kick-starts the inaugural “Daredevil” movie with an urban gothic image of our hero perched atop a Catholic church spire from which his thick blood runs in a steady stream down the face of the building. Cut to an obligatory introduction to Daredevil’s childhood in which 12-year-old “A” student Matt Murdock (Scott Terra - “Eight Legged Freaks”) lives in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen with his single, washed-up-boxer dad Jack ‘The Devil’ Murdock (David Keith - “U-571”). Matt suffers at the hands of some neighborhood bullies before discovering his dad dishing out some mob related physical punishment. Demoralized and panicked, Matt runs in the way of a truck and a barrel of bio-waste is punctured, spraying toxic liquid in his eyes and on his back. Soon, the blind Matt is

Ben Affleck is a few years too young to properly play a superhero so ensconced in self-doubt at the resolute effectiveness of his vengeful actions.

When Matt goes to give confession - something he does frequently -- there’s so much responsibility placed on the priest as a surrogate father that it undermines Matt’s maturity as a crime fighter.

It’s noble that Matt searches his soul over the human sacrifices that he consummates, but as a

“man without fear” Daredevil should be more resolute. If the filmmakers take their time writing a better script for the next Daredevil movie, Affleck may mature enough to elevate Matt Murdock to a more dimensional character. As it stands, Ben Affleck, the momentary king of American pop culture, does an adequate job of representing the vengeful superhero in the goat’s blood red suit.

And oh, what an impressively crafted suit it is.

DIFFICULTLISTENING

By Tang Li Wheebs & the Mole

DJ Anonymous (Dreadnots): The Robotic Hands Of God Pts. 1 & 2 (independent, www.dreadnots.com) Bonus: Two album reviews in one! The Dreadnots are about to take the music world by storm. In preparation for the release of their eagerly anticipated debut album, their DJ, DJ Anonymous, has released a couple of mix CD’s featuring songs from their huge store of unreleased music. These CD’s, featuring a nice blend of rap songs, instrumentals and experimental sound collages, are a nice appetizer to what I think should prove to be a monumental album release. The music is pretty different. It’s noisy but melodic - a good mixture of ugliness and beauty. The vocals are delivered with a rapid-fire intensity, yelled rather than spoken or sung. They speak so fast that it can be difficult to pick up what they’re talking about unless you concentrate. If you do concentrate, you’ll hear some pretty conscious and poetic lyrics dealing with politics, the environment, and society in general. What I really like about these CD’s is the melodies that run through them.

They’re simple and catchy - easy to get stuck in your head. You can buy either of these CD’s through the mail by sending $5 to The Think Tank; 1303 Tell St; Pgh, PA 15212. [The Mole] Pretty good sounds, a bit rough but engaging. Worth a few listens at least. [Tang Li Wheebs]

Jam On? JAM ON!

Cockhammer: Feel My Pain (Privileged White Male Records, www.cockhammer.com) Whoa, this guy is crazy. At first I couldn’t figure out whether he was joking or serious, but now I realize that he’s neither - he’s just insane. Cockhammer, a.k.a. Simon Fields, raps about ducks, basket weaving, gasoline, sunbursts, and plenty of other random things, but the topic that purveys the album more than any other is that of penal impact. With abrasive industrial-sounding drumbeats, a voice that ranges from deep and gravelly to high-pitched and piercing, and song titles like “Staples In Penis” and “Smashed Cocks, Mouldy Bread”, Feel My Pain is a perplexing but fun listen. [The Mole] A tad bit too confrontational at first, but a hidden tenderness seems to lurk just under the surface of his persona. He seems to not really give a shit about anything, yet a strange poetry comes from seemingly piecemeal rants about snow cones, garage sales and starving children.

And the Donovan cover is priceless. A real standout in the promo pile. [Tang Li Wheebs]

g i a l l n u s M

Busdriver & Radioinactive with Daedelus: The Weather (Mush Records, www.dirtyloop.com) Zany is a pretty good word to describe this album. Busdriver and Radioinactive rap at a really fast pace about crazy, random stuff like food, government conspiracies, etc. Sometimes their vocals are delivered more slowly; sometimes they’re melodic and sometimes not. The album is really like a mixed bag, full of strange odds and ends. Daedelus, the guy who makes the backing music, tends to lean towards the silly, melodic side, although as a whole the album’s music is very eclectic. The instruments he samples include children’s toys, a jacket zipper, and a party noisemaker. The sequences are constantly changing, adding to the frantic pace of the album. To top it off, and to add to the chaos, the album features the talents of fellow southern Californians 2Mex, Awol One, and Circus (all from The Shapeshifters collective). [The Mole] This album gets my vote for the best hip-hop album so far this year and I’d be surprised if it didn’t end up at the top of my list come December. The Mole does pick a good one once in awhile. [Tang Li Wheebs]

Cartoon Monster: Cartoon Monster (independent, www.littleusagi@hotmail.com) On his third release “Maui’s Own” Cartoon Monster continues his vision of fractured psychedelic pop. Adding the exposed fragments of some of his favorites including Pink Floyd, Grandaddy, Modest Mouse and the Perishable Records stable of artists into a lo-fi pot he creates his own flavorful 10-course dinner for you to sample. Recorded on an old Tascam cassette 8-track with all the sounds made by Mr. Monster himself, this album is a unique funneling of insight into the dusky otherworldly realm that he inhabits on a day to day basis. We can only hope that he will find the time soon to bless us with a live Cartoon Monster band and traveling sideshow. You can get a copy of this limited handmade release by emailing him directly or visiting Request Music in Wailuku. [Tang Li Wheebs] This sounds sort of like screwed up lullabies. Very different. Plus it features a cool handmade CD cover. I enjoy this thoroughly. [The Mole]
