To Maui Time’s "Force-Fed" writer Travis Henderson: Do you read anything but your beer-bottle label or do you just watch the "wise" men on FOX and CNN for your "opinion"? Your "opinion" is a waste of space as it is only regurgitated spin.

You defend NASA being questioned in Congress as: "Sounds to me like somebody is trying to make a name for himself by burning someone else at the stake... as long as there are puritan finger pointers . . . who would rather create fire than prevent more burnings . . ." yada, yada, yada (yeah, you are SOOOO fair and balanced).

Then you go right on and do that "finger pointing" to the young, BRAVE female basketball player who has the nerve to stand up for what she knows to be right, unlike YOUR bravery of being out of range. Your question of "what is she turning her face toward" shows your breath-taking ignorance.

That she is making a statement by not facing the flag is a brave and difficult thing to do because so many are like you, Travis. That is brainwashed. I would listen to this young patriot - she knows what is going on. Unlike you, Travis, and others in the media who have no true opinions of your own- only the dictated spin of the "powers that be".

You don't even know enough about her to name her, so how could you possibly have an opinion of her action, unless you got it from some of the other brainwashed corporate media? Did you talk to her about what her reasons are before putting her down?

Of course not, that might be mistaken for JOURNALISM, instead of "monkey hear, monkey think like this." Now that I know the Maui Time supports such heartless and ignorant writers as yourself I don't need to pick it up anymore, or visit any of your advertisers.

How sad that to get any real news in Amerika [sic] now we must read Pravda. If you can't change your mind- are you sure you still have one.

-Michael Abbey, Kihei MA, Isn’t it easy to rip on American policies from a safe, comfortable, beautiful place like Maui? However, if you think that America should be spelled the Russian way "Amerika" and if you think Pravda is your best choice for news, maybe you should go to the one place where it is widely distributed: Russia. At least nowadays you can hop on a plane and come back if you don’t like it – thanks to America’s democratic influence. Oh, and take that basketball player with you. Then maybe you’ll both have more respect for the flag that protects you while you rip it to pieces.

-Travis

WRITE FOR EDUCATION

DEAR FORCE FED

Dear Senator: I am writing to ask you to oppose HB 289.

That bill only sets up councils that are advisory in nature. The Department of Education and the Board of Education are not required to follow any of the advice, rec-

ommendations or findings of the councils.

We had advisory councils in the past. They ended up dying because people didn't want to join a board whose advice can be, and often is, ignored. I support real education reform that provides local districts with true control and local communities with true governance rights. HB 289 does not provide true reform and it will not improve our student achievement. Please vote against HB 289. Mahalo.

PEACE SCARF Wear a White Scarf Around Your Neck, On Your Back Pack, or Fly a White Flag On Your Car. A spontaneous war protest has started in Montreal after a popular radio host here announced that Mrs. George W. Bush had canceled a meeting with a group of women at the White House because several of them planned to attend the meeting with a white scarf round their necks as a silent symbol of their desire for peace.

This symbol had power, as it disturbed Mrs. Bush. This story has triggered a grassroots email campaign asking those committed to peace in the world to wear a white scarf. If everyone who disagreed with the war were to wear a white scarf around their neck, tie a white handkerchief to their back-packs, their attaché case, their school bags, white pennants from car antennas, white flags on balconies and hanging in front of houses the world over, would this not be a powerful message to send to our leaders?

Sometimes images and symbols are more powerful than words. If you feel that this idea has any validity, please join the email campaign and pass this on to your network.

Dr. Karen Hossfeld, San Francisco State University

KEEP PEACE IN YOUR HEART Mr. Bush has thrust us into a war, that I think, the better majority of people did NOT want to happen, and didn't HAVE to happen. He has forsaken humanity and its plea for peace, which by the way, has now become what we HAD... and began the wholesale destruction of a people’s way of life. People like us, with hopes and dreams.

I come from a generation that saw Vietnam as small children, wondering why folks couldn't get along, but sadly at some point, becoming desensitized to the horror of war. It became the norm.

"That's the way the world is..." became a catch phrase. I refuse to believe that. It's only one way things can be. I do believe that by simply keeping peace in your heart, always, everyday, especially to your enemies, that this thought resonance will one day become the "norm" to small children, and their children, and theirs... Conflict can be worked out without the loss of life. This is my dream, and my mission right now. Love and peace to You, and may God bless Planet Earth.

OPINIONS BY TRAVIS HENDERSON

IN FOR THE LONG HAUL There's nothing like waking up on a Sunday morning, making some coffee, turning on the TV... and seeing American POW’s. Any thoughts that this was going to be as easy as the first Gulf War were dispelled the minute those pictures of executed and captured Americans were shown on TV. Sure, during the Gulf War we had POW’s but for some reason it seemed a little different then. Maybe it was the fact that Iraq and Saddam were so overwhelmed by the onslaught they didn't dare do anything drastic to American POW’s.

This time though, there's a different feeling. Saddam is backed into a corner and he knows his time is up. He plans on going out in flames and taking as much of the world with him as possible. And if he were to get his hands on any American troops? It's a scary thought indeed.

But does that, or should that, change anything? My answer is no. We knew this wasn't going to be easy. While the first Gulf War was a cakewalk, this time they're much better prepared. All along there have been reports that up to 30,000 troops remained loyal to Saddam and they would fight to the end. So, as scary as this may be, our continued commitment in the face of adversity shows that the intent of our mission was true from the beginning.

As the protesters use these recent developments to thump their chests in vindication at the needless loss of American suffering, they ought to watch some of the footage on TV that isn't about the POW's or the protests. They should watch the interviews with soldiers here and abroad. They should watch the courage of these men ratchet up a notch as the reality of the situation sets in. Or listen to the mother of one of the injured sol-

diers say to Peter Jennings that she was honored her son was fighting for his country, even while peace protesters froth at the mouth at the mere sight of American blood.

Or they should watch footage of Iraqi soldiers surrendering, or villagers treating U.S. soldiers like heroes. If our war is so unjust, how come these people are so thankful?

Instead we get footage of protesters holding signs that say, "Bush is the real enemy." Or we tune in to the Oscars and see director Michael Moore use his acceptance speech to grandstand against the war and get a little extra attention for himself.

If anything is to be found at fault here, it should not be Bush's motives. He is trying to rid the Middle East of a man who uses rape, public torture, and murder as a means of governing. Just because the fight is not on our back step, does that mean it is not just?

I mean, after all, what is peace? Is it what goes on only in our own neighborhood? Do we ignore a fight down the street or in the house next door because it is not considered "our battle?"

If you're walking down the street and you see a lady getting mugged or a child being kidnapped, and everyone turns their heads, does that make you arrogant and abrasive if you step in to help? We're not imperialistic, we just have a hard time turning our backs on people that need help.

So no, the intentions of the American government are not at fault here.

Our only fault will be that we're a little too aggressive in our campaign to root out evil.

The true presence of evil sometimes requires a little respect in the fight against it.

The belief that the power of honorable intentions will guide us through the darkness of evil intentions may blind us to the reality that Baghdad is Saddam's city and he is waiting for us.

COLD CALLS Cold Calls catches different perspectives on issues important to our island community.The following interviews were conducted on the spot and interviewees were not given advance notice or preparation time.

VANESSA KEKAHUNA Clinical Supervisor for IMPACT Maui What percentage of the population on Maui uses drugs on a weekly basis?

I think maybe about 65%.

What is Maui County’s most widely used illegal drug?

Crystal Methanphetamine, next would probably be marijuana.

How do you feel about the legalization of marijuana?

Well let’s see, I don’t think it would be a good thing because, I understand the medical aspects of it, I do. But then once you start getting into legalizing it, then it kinda opens the door for other people to exploit that and use it for other reasons.

Do you feel the state and county sufficiently handles drug treatment? Yes. Are drug laws in Hawaii tough enough? Yes.

What percentage of the population on Maui uses drugs on a weekly basis?

(Long pause) You know I don’t want to say I don’t know but, I don’t know. I mean I don’t want to say that in the newspaper. Let me think of an answer to give... No, I cannot begin to even estimate. Drug use on Maui is to such a degree that it is an epidemic that must be addressed.

What is Maui County’s most widely used illegal drug?

That would be crystal methanphedamine or “ICE.” Can I say that this is my opinion, that it would be crystal meth?

How do you feel about the legalization of marijuana?

It’s been said that marijuana is a gateway drug. Often times, it allows users to explore other illegal drugs. I’m not in favor of legalization.

Do you feel the state and county sufficiently handles drug treatment?

I would say the county of Maui has taken major steps to help the community to address the challenges of drug use. Maui County for the last four to five years, there have been aggressive steps taken. So is that a “Yes”? I’m sorry, I don’t know about “Yes.” Maybe I shouldn’t say that, and the reason why is that there is more to be done. You know.

Are drug laws in Hawaii tough enough?

I don’t know if it’s tough enough but, laws that are implemented must have provisions for treatment. Because if you want to incompacitate someone from doing drugs you must put funding in those bills so that treatment can be given. It’s one thing if you lock up somebody you got to get the treatment component. You make laws to put people out of circulation, you got to do something, you know. Anyways, that’s just off the cuff.

TOM PHILLIPS Chief of Police, Maui Police Department What percentage of the population on Maui uses drugs on a weekly basis?

I don’t know. I have no clue. It is probably less than what people think. I just don’t have that information off the top of my head. The national trend is half of what it was twenty-five years ago. Education, treatment, and law enforcement is working. The number of users are going down, but it is still our (Maui Police Department) number one crime-related problem.

What is Maui County’s most widely used illegal drug?

Marijuana. If you’re looking at which drugs are seized the most, it is crystal methamphetamine, that is as far as felony drug cases go. Prescription drug use is also on the rise –just look to the national television commercial campaigns. Maui has the highest rate in the nation of crystal methamphetamine, the smokable form of methamphetamine.

How do you feel about the legalization of marijuana?

I am completely against it. It’s not the answer to our problems. The answer is the the pronged approach of education, treatment, and law enforcement. The people that deal need to be put away. Legalizing doesn’t do away with the problem.

Do you feel the state and county sufficiently handles drug treatment?

I spent ten years in narcotics vice. I can say it has gotten a lot better. Maui drug court is successful. But my answer is probably not because it (treatment) is very expensive. I think there is a lot of room for improvement. We need more money for treatment.

Are drug laws in Hawaii tough enough?

No. We’re on an island. Must of the illegal drugs are brought here. Our drug laws prevent us from doing our job. Our wire tap laws don’t conform with the federal wire tap laws. The penalty for drug importers is not stiff enough. Do away with parole and require drug offenders to do the time they are sentenced.

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD READER'S CHOICE Police called on a woman in Kent, Ohio, in February, asking her to make adjustments to a female snowman in her yard whose breasts had been made, according to a complainant, "inappropriate(ly)" large. The woman, Crystal Lynn, at first acceded to the officer's request and draped the snowman in a tablecloth, but after giving more thought about the mentality of a person who would, in the year 2003, call the police about protrusions of ice, she removed the tablecloth, and the officer dropped the matter.

BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Debra Letourneau of Long Hollow while she was at the home of another man, told her he had her upper plate of false teeth, and told her that if she did not pay him a ransom (amount not reported), he would stomp on them.

LEAST COMPETENT PERSON Ms. Selimy Mensah, 39, was hospitalized in Leonia, N.J., in February with second- and thirddegree burns. According to police, Mensah started a fire in her second-floor apartment when she, for some reason, tried to open a canister of spray paint with an electric can opener.

GOVERNMENT IN ACTION

UPDATE

Officials at Nevada's Yucca Mountain repository for high-level nuclear waste are struggling with a Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirement that the site post signs warning intruders of its dangers, lasting as far into the future as the year 12,000 A.D., even though no one knows whether any language now spoken on Earth will be spoken then. (The oldest known writing, Sanskrit, is about 7,000 years old.) Among the suggestions (according to a February Wall Street Journal report): drawings of someone vomiting while drilling at the site; and simply making Yucca Mountain also a global feces dump, to discourage trespassers.

Last year, after a KORB personality in the Davenport, Iowa, radio market offered listeners $30,000 a year for up to five years to tattoo "93 Rock" (the station's ID) on their forehead, Richard Goddard Jr. took him up on it, and Goddard's grumbling about the station's subsequent, alleged reneging on the deal got wide newspaper coverage. In January 2003, according to police, John and Mary Rushman of Colona, Ill. (with whom Goddard had been temporarily staying), were charged with beating Goddard in the face with a ball peen hammer because he was severely getting on their nerves with all of his complaints and suicide threats.

THE MOVIE "GROUNDHOG DAY" COME TO LIFE British boatman Andrew Halsey, 45, set off from Peru last Nov. 28 with 260 days' food, intending to row solo across the Pacific Ocean to Australia (about 8,000 miles). According to a BBC progress report on Feb. 8, after 72 days of fighting winds and currents and rowing probably 2,300 miles out, back and in circles, he was still 8,000 miles away. (A March 7 update in a British weekly reported that he had closed to within 7,600 miles of Melbourne.)

PEOPLE DIFFERENT FROM US Gary Lee McMurray, 30, was arrested in February for grand larceny in Jonesville, Tenn. Police said McMurray telephoned

A NATION AT WAR South Dakota Highway Patrolmen made a guns-drawn stop of a motorist in February, as suspicious because he was driving his van on Interstate 90 while wearing a gas mask (but he said he was just making a restaurant delivery of food that had an unpleasant smell). And Mikhail Kalashnikov, 83, inventor of terrorists' favorite assault rifle, expressed remorse for his invention recently, said he wanted to rehabilitate his name, and signed on with a German company to manufacture Kalashnikov umbrellas. And North Korea's Kim Jong Il turned 61 in February, which was an opportunity for countrymen to give Christmas-type presents to their kids, for Kim to celebrate by turning on the electricity at government farms for a whole 24 hours straight, and for the official news agency to remind people of Kim's accomplishments, including 11 holes-in-one in his first-ever round of golf.

HOW TO SALVAGE THE IRAQ DEBACLE

WORDONTHESTREET How would you feel if you were a civilian on the streets of Baghdad?

BY CHRISTY MILES

Postwar Suggestions for George W. Bush The invasion of Iraq has deeply divided Americans. It has alienated our allies. It is already providing volatile new ammunition for Islamist terrorist groups searching for impressionable young men willing to blow themselves up just so they can take a few of us along with them. It's a grim situation, but it isn't too late for the Bush Administration to minimize the damage created by its reckless and illegal war, now that we're committed to it.

A year and a half after invading Afghanistan, the United States is about to seize control of another volatile, strategically vital patch of Muslim real estate riven by ethnic and tribal fault lines. As it did before its war against the Taliban, administration officials are issuing grandiose assurances about noble intentions.

"We will deliver the food and medicine you need," Bush promised Iraqis. "We will tear down the apparatus of terror and we will help you to build a new Iraq that is prosperous and free...The day of your liberation is near."

Only a few hard-right Republicans really believe in Bush's newfound interest in liberating the oppressed peoples of the world.

Antiwar Americans, most international leaders and the overwhelming majority of the world's population still hold that the war is motivated solely by lust for Iraq's vast oil reserves. One U.N. Security Council diplomat explains his colleagues' reasons for voting "no": "No one wants to alienate the United States but you can't ignore polls showing 80 percent opposition to the war," he said.

Opinions of America are even worse among Arabs, who note that the only countries that Bush has invaded - Afghanistan and Iraq- and is thinking of attacking - Iran and Syria - are Muslim. Arabs conclude that Bush – a self-described "born again" Christian fundamentalist - is waging a 21st century Crusade against Islam. Only six percent of the Egyptian public holds a favorable view of the U.S. This in a country where scholars at the Islamic Research Academy declared that "if the enemy steps on Muslims' land, jihad becomes a duty on every male and female."

Bush's clash-of-civilizations rhetoric, sprinkled liberally with Old Testament imagery, hardly reduces tensions.

Nonetheless, both America's image abroad and Bush's popularity here could improve dramatically if the former Governor of Texas takes the following steps to make the war look more like liberation and less like exploitation: Promise to Lay Off the Oil. Aggressive elements in the administration suggest that a new post-Saddam government of Iraq - a toothless American puppet, similar to Afghanistan's Karzai - should rip up its oil

contracts with France's TotalFinaElf and Russia's Lukoil in order to get even for the U.N. vote.

Houston-based Halliburton Co., where Dick Cheney served as CEO, is reported to have already secured a $4 billion deal to put out well fires and rehabilitate sanctions-ravaged refineries. And Bush is already scheming to raid $40 billion in the now-defunct U.N. oil-for-food program to finance postwar reconstruction.

"How do we protect the oil facilities and bring in companies and material to sustain and improve those facilities without being criticized for taking over oil or giving the appearance of somehow taking the oil?" asks Amy Myers Jaffe, an energy adviser at the Baker Institute for Public Policy at Rice University.

Simple: Bush should pledge to honor all existing contracts, even – especially - with companies from countries that didn't support the war. More importantly for a leader whose top officials are nearly all former execs of big oil, Bush ought to prohibit sweetheart deals of any kind.

Competitive bidding, not a cozy relationship with the White House, ought to determine which outfits get new contracts. And the people of Iraq, not the oil companies, ought to receive most of the proceeds in the form of direct payments.

Guarantee Iraq's Territorial Integrity. On March 21 Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul warned that Turkish forces plan to invade the Kurdish zone of northern Iraq to eradicate "terrorist activity." If unchecked, a Turkish incursion could lead to a new war with the Kurds, and the beginning of the end for a unified Iraqi state. Bush must issue two declarations, one guaranteeing full autonomy for Iraqi Kurdistan and the other an intention of respecting and defending Iraq's present-day borders.

Arabs will rightly blame the U.S. if one of their richest nations disintegrates into civil war. Any invader, whether it's Iran or Turkey, must be driven out by American forces. And we can't allow warlords and tribal chieftains to create fiefdoms within Iraq, as has occurred in Afghanistan.

Let the Iraqis Choose Their Own Government.

Bush claims that he wants to establish democracy in Iraq. Now he has to make good on that vow.

That means creating the conditions that would allow free elections - peace and economic stability, reconstruction, a free press, open electioneering, recognition of political parties from across the political spectrum, including Saddam's Ba'ath Party - to occur. Bush shouldn't be tempted to repeat the Florida 2000-style backstage antics that manipulated the results of Afghanistan's loya jirga - after decades of strong central rule, Iraq needs a popularly elected president, not a puppet.

Nothing would earn the U.S. more respect around the world than rebuilding Iraq, allowing an antiAmerican president to be elected, and then withdrawing our occupation troops.

Rebuild Iraq. Few Americans understand how badly we botched our occupation of Afghanistan.

Chirag Desai, 20 California “I’d probably be worried about getting bombed. But I’d be excited about getting Saddam Hussein out and putting someone else in his place.”

Greg Constantino, 34 Wailuku “I would be scared of the future. No matter how bad things are (with Hussein in power); I would be used to it. I would also not know what would happen next.”

Paula Merl, 50 Kihei “I would feel generally afraid. I hope that US would do their part and do what they say by fulfilling their promise to help the people.”

Hardly any know that U.S.-occupied Afghanistan has been reduced to pre-Talibanstyle warlordism, that rape gangs rule the nights, that the stonings of adulterers continue, that not one house has been rebuilt with international assistance - not even in Kabul, the one city ruled by the central government. But the rest of the world knows - and that's why they'll be watching us in Iraq. We have a second chance to get things right - but it's going to take billions of dollars and several hundred thousand troops at least a decade to get Iraq back on its feet. But that's the least we can do after subjecting the country to 12 years of brutal economic sanctions.

Fred Grout, 82 Vermont “I sure as hell wouldn’t like to be one because of all of the stuff that is coming down on them.

I’ve been through one war and I wouldn’t like to be there. It will all work out in the end.”

Tina Delatorre, 39, South Kihei “I would be looking forward to getting rid of the Hussein regime. It’s frightening to think of walking miles and miles into the mountains to stay away from the bombs. Eventually, it will lead to a better life.”

Sarah Clark, 21 Healy, Alaska “I would feel relieved knowing that the US troops are there to sacrifice themselves for the civilians.”

Get Out. If we're really going to be taken seriously as liberators and proponents of democracy, we'll allow the popularly elected leaders of Iraq to lead their country into the post-Saddam era, whether or not we care for their politics. And we won't tell them what to do or how to do it.

BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE HOW SAFE ARE MAUI’S NIGHTCLUBS?

Searching through this dark and troubled existence isn't easy trapped beneath six feet of dirt. But this isn't the first time I've been trapped. When did it all begin? Oh yeah, a going away party. People are always coming and going on Maui so it makes a great excuse to frolic together for that proverbial "one last time." My job at the Mana Kai Hotel kept me in virtual indentured slavery with despicable hours. I don't even know when I thought I wanted to work in the travel industry for a corporation; we are always told these are the good jobs here.

But I had traded my self-respect for benefits, and rent money, straining to fit in a mold that they supplied me with. I barely had time to enjoy the super-fabulous social life I was supposed to be having in the prime of my life. A party on my day off was just the therapy I required.

I rented a room in a broken-down, roach-infested home, but to its credit, it was on the beach. I don't know how I slipped in among the six other tenants, people were always rotating in and out; it was like a co-ed fraternity at times. Four bedrooms and six people made the dwelling drama stifling at times, but we cut the tension in the household with alcohol and entertainment, it was the best we could do with our limited resources.

This crazy evening, we hosted a shoving off party for Rachel.

She was leaving for Colorado, to teach snowboarding and go back to school. She'll be back - that sounds like a temporary situation to me. The barbeque was providing us with a wealth of food, trying to soak up the consumption beer and liquor, steadfast this evening. A tequila bottle is challenged to a duel with several of my housemates, and was losing sorely, or maybe they were, it's a hard contest to call. The sunset was amazing, the sky

was painted a holy shade of hot pink and orange, highlighted with light clouds and a full round sun, dropping as if it were getting heavier and heavier. We stared into the sky making our own silent resolutions to the end of another day. I resolved to start on my inspired book idea, "365 Sunsets on Maui," a coffee table read that was going to liberate me as soon as I got a camera. Well, there is always another sunset.

When some shenanigan began beating on the drum kit in my rockstar roommate’s part of the home, it was definitely time to go. I commanded the troops to get on their feet and beat it to the bars. The party moved out into town, heading for a watering hole. And “hole” we were heading to! We weren't settling for anything less than live music. Luckily, the Belltower Criminals were playing at The Can Can tonight, and the show was already underway as we arrived.

We poured in with the other poor souls flicking identification at the door and making our way to the bar for drinks. The bartender feigning ignorance, as if he couldn't begin to feel our thirst, pretended to be too busy talking with a customer to serve us our precious drinks. His loss. Rachel had grabbed a table and we all ordered from the waitress, a round of shots for the going away girl, after all, she's leaving and we want her to feel shitty on the plane. The band is loud and everyone is screaming, some of us dance and others mingle. We never saw the guy fucking around balling up his napkins in the ashtray and lighting them on fire. It might have been funny except for his friend sprayed his lighter fluid on the whole thing lighting the tablecloth up. We only saw the skirmish of bouncers coming up and trying to put it out among a thick ring of rubberneckers. I might have even been

amused at the wildness of it all. But suddenly things got serious; people were screaming and running for the door. Only you couldn't run here, it was fucking crowded, and people were everywhere, pushing, yelling, and panicking. I tried to stay seated but I was quickly engulfed by bodies, torsos, and hands, my hair was pulled, my feet stomped on by this massive entity fueled by fear.

I stood up unexpectedly gripped by my own terror, smoke was choking the visibility in the room but the crowd wasn't moving. People were stomping on other people and I thought about helping those folks on the floor, but I was afraid there wasn't any air down there. My only thought was claustrophobia as this room suddenly became tiny, and seemed to have no exit. Where were the exits? Why wasn't anyone getting out? It took less than five minutes for the smoke to engulf what little visibility and breathable air was left and I had no idea which way to go. I got on my hands and knees and began to move carefully and deliberately. I felt someone lying on the floor, limp, lifeless. It didn't seem possible. I couldn't move. I couldn't struggle, it only made me more disoriented and exhausted.

I thrashed about for air like a fish out of water but in the end succumbed to the flames. I suffocated breathing the black smoke that filled the room quickly swallowing tablecloth, table, chair, human, wall, pool table, and anything else that stood in its path.

I thought of nothing as that time came, as I burned into nothing.

Now I contemplate the fate of that night that stole so much from everyone. My book from me, me from my mother, loved ones from family and much more from many others. I never considered that my life would hang in the balance, my whole existence so quickly snuffed out by an idiot in a crowded bar.

COVER STORY

You go out for a night on the town with your friends. Scouting for guys or girls. Have a few drinks and some fun. Aside from getting a DUI what's the worst that can happen? A lot, as recent nightclub tragedies in Chicago, Rhode Island, and New York demonstrate.

In the past month, 21 people were trampled to death at the E2 nightclub in Chicago after someone sprayed a chemical - probably pepper spray - to break up a fight. At the Broadway City Club and Arcade in New York City, eight people were shot (despite the fact that the club has a policy of patting down customers before they're allowed to enter), two were stabbed, and two more were trampled in the ensuing stampede to flee the club.

And then there's the now infamous Station in Rhode Island where 99 people died when pyrotechnics were set off during the first song of a Great White concert.

Fire departments around the country have stepped up their inspections in the wake of these tragedies. A recent wave of inspections on Oahu found that 16 of 19 nightclubs had violations.

Of course, Maui has a lot less nightclubs than Oahu. Most venues around here are restaurants that also provide dancing.

And with an emphasis on island-style architecture, several places, such as Mulligan's on the Blue, Hula Grill, and Life's a Beach, have indoor/outdoor seating, which dramatically reduces the risk of being trapped in a building.

Unlike Oahu, Maui did not conduct a reactionary sweep of nightclubs.

"Maui Fire Department inspectors prefer to be proactive instead of reactive," says Deputy Fire Marshal Neal Bal, Captain of the Fire Prevention Bureau. "We've always held some pretty high standards with regards to inspections," he adds.

Maui County adheres to the 1997 edition of the Uniform Building Code, (UBC) a national code covering multiple types of occupancies. The UBC stipulates that assembly occupancies (such as restaurants and nightclubs) must have an exit in the front and a second exit remote from the first one.

"The number of exits determines the number of people allowed in a room," explains Captain Bal. For every 50 people in a restaurant or other assembly occupancy there must be two exits. For 300 or more people in an assembly occupancy, at least half of the occupants must be able to get out the front door, which must be three feet wide, and two-thirds must be able to get out the back door, which must be four feet wide. Requiring exits to accommodate more than 100 percent of the occupancy capacity ensures that all occupants can escape if need be.

In addition to the number of exits, the UBC requires among other things, that assembly occupancies have clearly marked exit signs with emergency back-up power, panic hardware on the exit doors, fire extinguishers, and an evacuation plan.

All assembly occupancies on island are inspected at least every two years, according to Bal. And it doesn't end there.

"Clubs that are new or existing are required to have inspections," he says. Venues must pass a fire safety inspection in order to receive a liquor permit. In addition to these inspections, Maui County Liquor Control Department personnel visit clubs and restaurants around Maui nightly.

"Liquor Department staff inspect clubs every night to check on capacity and see if people are being over-served," explains Captain Bal. "If they see a situation, such as over occupancy, they'll file a complaint with the fire department," he notes, even paging him late at night if the situation merits.

"Depending on the violation, we [the fire department] might not let them continue to operate," explains Bal. "If it's a serious violation, such as a blocked or locked exit, that's not tolerated and would need to be complied with immediately," says Bal. "When it comes to overcrowding, if there's a disagreement with the club owner about the number of people in the venue, we'll empty the club on the spot and count people as they come out. Then we'll only let back in the number of people allowed for that occupancy load." Although Bal wouldn't name specific

clubs subjected to the empty and recount process, he did say it's been done more than once. "Most club owners are pretty cooperative after we've visited them a few times."

But Bal doesn't think high code standards are enough to prevent fires. "I don't believe the problem lies with the clubs per se, because Maui County has pretty stringent regulations that require these places to be up to code.

"The major problem lies with public education. I believe any club or venue should be advising their patrons that there are multiple exits. Unfortunately, when an incident occurs people's adrenaline starts pumping. Studies have repeatedly shown that people tend to try to exit the same way they came in," adds Bal. But could it happen here? Have local clubs changed their procedures in light of the recent mainland tragedies? Some have added new measures, but most have not, citing already high standards.

"Safety should always be the owner's first priority," says Gus Hoeft, owner of Hapa's Nightclub in Kihei. "The fire department is on top of a lot of things."

Echoing the sentiments of other club owners, he adds, "Captain Bal is pretty strict. He's firm about abiding by the fire code."

In light of the Rhode Island nightclub tragedy, DJs at Hapa's have started making an announcement telling people to be aware of their surroundings and to look for exits. However, they seem to be the only club doing so. Managers at other venues, such as Casanova's and Tsunami's, say they do not feel the need to make such announcements.

"We double-checked all our security and safety equipment (after the Station tragedy), including our fire extinguishers," says Stephen Burgelin, general manager of Casanova's. "We're a compact place and our three exits are clearly marked and pretty obvious."

George Watson, district manager of Moose McGillicuddy's in Lahaina, says, " It's pretty obvious where to get out of here," noting that Moose's has three exits and a lanai with at least two door hosts on the floor to help with evacuation if needed.

"We've always been in [code] compliance because of our high visibility during Halloween and we keep that up all year," adds Watson.

Luke Callaghan, manager of Tsunami's, says they do not make a special announcement because they do not want to cause undue alarm among patrons.

So why does Hapa's management feel the need to make such an announcement? "I think safety should come first whether it's fire or otherwise," adds Hoeft.

Which is not to say Hapa's is any more or less safe than any other club. In fact, a tour of Maui's popular club venues found that they all pretty much have the same safety features. They have to. A fire safety violation can result in fines or in a worst case scenario, being shut down, and no club owner can afford that.

However, I was surprised by the amount of fire safety precautions taken that the average club-goer doesn't even notice.

Yes, the exit signs are obvious, well lit, and have emergency back up lighting in case of power failure. Panic hardware is on all exit doors. But there's more. The big burly guy standing next you at the bar could well be security staff trained in emergency evacuation.

"Each establishment should train its staff," says Hoeft. "We go through safety fundamentals at our monthly employee meeting."

Nancy Paliani, Assistant Food and Beverage Director at the Grand Wailea Resort and Hotel in Wailea, says that the staff at Tsunami's nightclub "goes through safety training every month at our regular staff meetings. The management team is constantly reviewing security measures."

"We have pre-shift and post-shift meetings every day," adds Callaghan.

Both venues also have staff positioned around the respective clubs to assist customers in case an incident occurs.

Hoeft says there are four bouncers positioned around Hapa's, one in each corner. I visited Hapa's on a recent Thursday night and asked a bouncer named Alika about these safety sentries. He said that the bouncer stationed near the bathrooms knows to check the bathrooms first to make sure people inside evacuate, while the bouncers at the front of the building open the two sets to double doors and the other bouncers help guide people to the exits.

Across town, Tsunami's has no less than six "floor hosts"

BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE stationed around the club at any given time and a greeter at the top of the stairs to assist club goers should a fire or other situation occur. Like Hapa's, they also have a staff person stationed near the bathrooms to make sure everyone gets out in case of an emergency. Callaghan points out that the floor hosts have been on a heightened state of awareness since the incident at the Station. In addition to the six floor hosts, he says he has a total of 20 trained staff people on the floor at any given time, should an incident occur.

"When people think of nightclubs on Maui they think of Tsunami's, we have to maintain high safety standards."

Both venues also have automated fire sprinklers, something the Station in Rhode Island did not. The Station was exempt from having a sprinkler system because it was built before regulations were passed requiring them. Now, some of the victims' relatives are calling for a nationwide sprinkler regulation.

Fire sprinklers are advocated by fire department personnel and fire safety organizations nationwide. Sprinklers have been proven to save lives and often a single head can douse a fire that may otherwise turn deadly. Yet, when it comes to retrofitting older buildings, sprinklers often hit the hard wall of economy.

Casanova's, which was built long before Hapa's or the Grand Wailea Resort, has no sprinklers. Burgelin says it would be cost prohibitive to retrofit such an old building. Given that the restaurant has several fire safety systems in place he sees little fire risk in the restaurant given the smoking ban.

"We're a pretty dry place, especially in light of the smoking ban," he adds.

Club owners I talked to don't think a tragedy like the Station fire could happen here on Maui, citing Maui County's strong code requirements, although they aren't taking any chances.

"You have to stay safe," says the Grand's Paliani.

"It just makes sense to have safety regulations," adds Hoeft. "[Clubs are] a gathering place where people will gather. They [the Station] only had a single door with no panic hardware. Our front doors are each four feet wide and they have panic hardware."

"That fire accident was a reckless use of pyrotechnics," says Casanova's Bergelin. Noting that Casanova's is an older wooden building, he adds "we don't allow pyrotechnics in here."

In fact, it would be an incredibly rare sight to see pyrotechnics in a club on Maui, because its use is so tightly regulated.

"Pyrotechnics are allowed in a very, very limited production and nothing like what was allowed in Rhode Island and elsewhere," says Bal. "People have requested to use pyrotechnics many times and we've turned them down. We reject more requests than we grant, which is about three a year."

A pyrotechnics show is carefully inspected and scrutinized by fire department personnel with months of preparation and planning involved. "The pyrotechnics themselves need to be inspected," says Bal. The facility where they are to be used is inspected and a trial run is conducted.

What if a promoter tried to pull off a pyrotechnics show without permits? Captain Bal seriously doubts that would happen.

The local club owners know the rules and know that they'll be held responsible if anything happens. Not only would the club lose their permits, but the club's insurance would become null and void since the permits would be violated. No club owner wants to take those risks. The promoters know, too.

"I've received calls as far away as Australia from promoters who want to come to Maui and do pyrotechnic shows. They know they need to go through the permitting process," says Bal. While investigators prod what exactly went so wrong in

Rhode Island and code developing organizations discuss strengthening safety regulations, people continue to pack clubs around the country and on Maui.

Has the Station tragedy impacted people's club-going habits?

An informal poll at local clubs indicates no.

At the recent Na Kai 'Ewalu Canoe Club benefit concert at Hapa's, friends Leslie and Jesse, both of Kihei, and John, of Kahului, were checking out the bands. They said fire safety is something they don't think about when they go out.

"People take it for granted that Maui's safe," says John, a Hapa's regular. "You never think something like that [the Station fire] can happen here but it can."

Echoing Captain Bal's statement that people go out where they entered, all three, who ranged in age from early to late 20's, said that if a fire broke out they would rush to get out the front door they had entered.

Patrons at other clubs, such as Tsunami's, would also head for the main door at the top of the stairway, in case of a fire.

"I know I'd go out the same way I came in," says Tina of Makawao, during a busy Saturday night at Tsunami's. But when asked what she would do if the main stairway were blocked, Tina replied, "I have no idea how I would get out."

Luckily for her, some of her companions knew of the other emergency exits in the room.

Several Tsunami's patrons, tourists and residents alike, said they would use the main stairway to get out of the club in an emergency. Most were also aware of the other emergency exits, although residents who frequented Tsunami's on a regular basis were faster to point out additional exits than tourists. Jason of Kahului, was the only one who pointed out all three emergency exits without hesitation.

These three additional exit doors at Tsunami's are all clearly marked and equipped with panic hardware (per code requirements). When I checked these doors, they opened easily. Except one. Like the other emergency exits, the door by the bathrooms should have opened easily with only two pounds of pressure.

For some reason, I had difficulty opening this door. I knew that in addition to safety reasons, the floor host is positioned by this door to make sure people do not sneak in and out of the club. (The door count at the main entrance is closely monitored to make sure the club does not become overcrowded). Trying to open the emergency door garnered me the immediate attention of the concerned door host standing nearby, who wanted to know why I was trying to go out this exit. I explained my mission and tried to open the door again. No luck. Completely sober (unlike many of my fellow patrons), it took me four tries to open the door. The floor host opened it multiple times with no problem and pointed out that he would be there to help people in the event of an evacuation. However, I have spent years in the fire service industry and know from talking to fire department personnel around the world that Murphy's law can and will happen during a fire.

The Grand's management takes fire safety very seriously, as well they should. I know the club's staff is well trained and alert.

I also know I should have been able to open that door with my pinky instead of trying to hip-check it. I hope that when someone has to open that particular door in an emergency situation, they have better luck than I did.

The Station tragedy woke people up to the fact that they need to be aware of their surroundings when they go out. Yes, Maui County has strict fire safety regulations. But accidents do happen. It's up to all of us to be aware of what's going on around us when we go out. The next time you go out with your friends for a few beers or a night on the town, take a look around and check out where the exits are. Do those doors work? Whether trying to dodge that icky person with bad breath that's been hitting on you or fleeing from a fire, it's good to have an escape plan.

The Best Place to Eat in Pa`ia is Now Your North Shore Night Spot

I’m feeling a bit blue this week as I ponder the peculiarities of human nature and watch our nation engage in war. While our world leaders feed their particular appetites, it is more important than ever for us to satisfy our own daily needs, for a well fortified body leads to the clarity of mind necessary in these times. My restless hunger today drives me to Wei Wei BBQ and Noodle House in Wailuku, an unassuming haven for wayward souls in need of nourishment.

The aromas begin to soothe me right away as I push through the front door and step into a comfortable, modestly appointed dining room. Hints of ginger and garlic entice me toward the service counter where a large menu is posted overhead. I don’t mind the self-service format here because the savings have obviously been passed on to the customer; the menu ranges from $1.80 for a burger to $6.95 for an array of combination plates. I make some difficult choices from a formidable list of entrees, pay at the counter, receive my ticket number and settle into a deep, comfortable booth to wait.

Did you know that restaurant chairs are rated according to the amount of time you can comfortably sit in them? Some places will actually use a 30 or 45-minute chair to ensure a good turnover rate, thereby increasing revenue. That’s certainly not the case here; my cushy booth seat doesn’t seem to want to release me.

As I melt into its depths I realize that I have a perfect view back into the clean, professionally designed kitchen, which appears to be manned by real Chinese cooks. I keep my chopsticks close at hand in case they suddenly come streaming out

yelling Chinese curses and kung fu fighting, though I probably couldn’t use them nearly as well as Bruce Lee. I guess the war is weighing more heavily on me than I realize.

My reverie is interrupted by the arrival of my food, which looks and smells delicious. The House Cake Noodles are heaped high with shrimp, calamari, assorted morsels of meat, cabbage, green beans, and carrots in a light, mild sauce. The flavor is delicate and satisfying and perfectly complemented by the rich, semicrisp texture of the cake noodles. The Baby Pak Choi with Beef is similar to the widely done Beef Broccoli, but greatly enhanced by the substitution of this exotic Chinese cabbage, also known as Horse’s Ear and Chinese Celery Cabbage. It’s been lightly braised here, yielding a delightfully firm but giving texture and finishing with a slightly peppery bite, playing nice counterpoint to the tender, base flavor of the beef.

My favorite dish tonight, however, is the combination of Roast Duck and Ginger Chicken, which I chose to have with steamed white rice. They are both served with the bones in, chopped sideways down the length of the breast in true Chinese fashion. The duck is just bursting with rich, juicy, duck-fatty flavor.

Gout is surely headed my way, but it’s the furthest thing from my mind at this point. The chicken is served cold, which threw me for a second, but the pesto-like topping of ginger, garlic, and green onion lends a very distinct flavor to the incredibly moist, falling-off-thebone breast of chicken, and the combination

The wine of this week is the 2000 Zinfandel, from Ravenswood winery in Sonoma County, California. Ravenswood’s motto is “No Wimpy Wines.” These guys get into it! With over 400,000 cases made, there is a slew of wines to choose from, but they are mainly focused on Zinfandel (70% of production).

The winery has different categories, a selection for everyone. They start off with the vintner’s blend; Zinfandel, Merlot, Chardonnay, based with 40% of Ravenswood’s own crushed and aged wine, then blended just right. Then there’s the county series; made up from certain vineyards from the select county appellation this gives the wine its distinct origin of flavor.

Lastly, the vineyard designates all single vineyard wines. These wines are from special select vineyards from Napa and Sonoma; all dryfarmed, 70-100 year-old vines that yield low crops so the grapes grow evenly, well and concentrated. The vineyards are marked on the bottles and are low production for great quality.

This week’s wine pick is from the county series. The Sonoma County, old-vine Zinfandel is one of the more popular bottlings. This wine is aged in French oak for 16 months, has a full body, rich dark berry character with a spicy big finish. This is an ageworthy wine - drink now or set aside and let it age to see what fun will come. No wimpy wine here! That’s for sure.

ARTS&ENTERTAINMENT

BY JASON NAYLOR

The Eyeshadows A smashing tidal sound-wave will hit the island of Maui later tonight. The intensity is predicted to be off the scale, but authorities at Hapa's in Kihei where the impact will be centered assure residents and tourists alike that there is nothing to fear. An unconfirmed source at Hapa's has said that the only real danger is that anyone within the blast radius might dance his or her ass off.

The wave was generated by an all-girl pop punk hurricane known as the Eyeshadows, and if you come properly prepared you'll ride their torpedo all the way into tomorrow morning. Originally formed at a jam party in Los Angeles in 2000 around the bassist and singer/songwriter Dawn Laureen, the Eyeshadows are what would happen if the Bangles got rear-ended by the Sex Pistols. Laureen cites the Ramones and Iggy Pop and the Stooges among the band’s musical influences.

Based in Silverlake, on of Hollywood's oldest and freakiest neighborhoods, the band is better dressed than their down-anddirty comrades from behind the Orange Curtain. Their D.I.Y. sound has not been the least bit blunted by high society, however.

Laureen describes the band, rounded out by Nicki Skistimas on drums, Kelly Wilson on fuzz bass, and Stephanie Fitch on guitar, as "like a bunch of sisters" who are "all about fun and charring eardrums."

Laureen says she has been "lucky to hang out" with some of her heroes, including Frank Infante and Clem Burke of Blondie. Her good fortune has certainly informed her musical development.

She notes that being in a band is more demanding than just songwriting and jamming around town, but it can also be more fulfilling. "If you love what you're doing, then do it!" The Eyeshadows have been doing just that. The band just finished a tour that included the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, TX and a stint in Las Vegas, NV. Next they plan to pursue an indie label and record their new songs.

Their scorching bass-driven CD bodes well for their upcoming performances. Five of the seven tracks were co-written with Infante who also adds his deft guitar sparks to 'Pretend' and "Anything.' 'Pretend' dresses Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction, in eye shadow, pink fishnets and fire-engine lipstick for a slamming expression of feisty feminine mystique.

'Anything,' a punk lover's testimonial, opens with a chewy bass line. Skistimas beats clean and decisive time with a musical character while Laureen delivers plangent devotion.

The raw and tawdry sexuality of 'Bondage' and 'Get It' fairly bristles with bad-girl sensibility. Wilson's cotton candy pink Fender bass comes through a Russian pedal called the Big Muff. Laureen's vocals and lyrics have a playful but sharp edge. Fitch adds her shredding guitar to open up the melodic texture. Their combination of old school punk and new wave pop makes for pure partying pleasure. Steady pop hooks keep the band's cherry Cadillac from spinning out of control so the crazy joyride pumps your

adrenaline without scaring you silly.

The Eyeshadows will play with Voodoo Suns at Hapa's in Kihei tonight, and with Anesthesia at the Hard Rock in Lahaina on Friday, and Casanova's in Makawao on Saturday. The welcoming spirit that the Maui scene has shown in organizing the tour has Dawn and the girls excited about coming to the island. Dawn was impressed by "how kind and super-cool everyone has been in setting it up." Fans of punk rock should be excited about their trip as well. In addition to the thrashing tunes each show will feature the girls' eye-popping stage-wear, reportedly including some costumes from the movie 'Moulin Rouge,' as well as a contest. The first fan to get onstage and put on Dawn's signature spiral bra will receive an 'Eyeshadows goodie bag.' The band wants to "come over, have some fun and spread the fun," and it sounds like they know how.

The truly hardcore will make the island circuit with them, relishing a brief but cauterizing respite from Maui's endless output of reggae and lounge jazz. Come prepared to cut the rug, but be warned: these sexy punk kittens will not hesitate to scratch your ears out!

GIVING DANCE ANOTHER CHANCE Thursday (tonight) at 7:30pm, MACC. After last week’s dance in your pants debacle, I’m hoping the art of visual performance is not lost on Tamango’s Urban Tap. I’m anxious to see that the international influence is rediscovered in rich, cultural movement, not commercial-over-the-top, ice-capades-meets-theDallas-Cowboys-cheerleaders-routine song & dance. Urban Tap will be mixing cultures and styles ranging from Brazilian capoeira to freestyle world jazz and tap, influenced by hiphop street culture. Here’s hoping this dance groove will be “keeping it real” - heart & soul.

BEN IS THE MAN 5 &7:30pm Friday, in the Castle Theater, MACC. Alt-rocker Ben Harper is featured in this Maui Film Festival feature tour-de-force documentary: Pleasure & Pain. No sensitive musician can deny the impact on contemporary rootsfolk-rock, and the return of heartfelt songwriting Ben has had, nor can any female resist the urge to swoon in the shadows of his quiet passions (sigh).

GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS! (See A&E Feature story). You’ve got to be curious, at least. Or are you scared? Dawn and her pussycats have spunk-o-rama and spiral bras to match their pop-punk bravada. C’mon!

MUSIC FOR REAL PEOPLE 7:30pm Saturday, at Seabury Hall; 7:30pm Sunday, at Hapa’s. Do you remember when MTV played music videos, and had special concerts with musicians who could play their instruments? I have a feeling this Local Licks Benefit will capture the live magic of what I felt was an awe-inspiring combo of storytelling and music-making displayed in shows like “MTV Unplugged” or VH-1 “Storytellers”. Featuring Gail Swanson, and other respected musicians, along with some fresh new talent, in a show with real musicians playing real instruments.

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY

Bestiary of Bullshittery Kasdan Directed King Novel Isn't Worth A Toothpick ) Dreamcatcher ( There's a lot of blame to go around for this disastrous horror-cum-sci-fi-malebonding movie. The script for "Dreamcatcher" was co-written from Stephen King's 2001 novel by William Goldman ("A Bridge Too Far," "Marathon Man") and Lawrence Kasdan

(co-writer on "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and director on "Body Heat," and "The Big Chill" for which he also shared writing credit).

"Dreamcatcher" contains huge gooey dollops of Stephen King's now familiar themes of boyhood bonding against bullies ("Stand By Me"), psychic power ("Carrie," "The Dead

Zone"), secluded snowbound locations ("The Shining") and an infecting army of evil ("Salem's Lot"). Four friends since boyhood share a mixed bag of clairvoyant abilities bestowed on them by an autistic/retarded boy named Duddits, whom they rescued at the hand of bullies when they were boys.

Joined together for a weekend reunion in a snowy cabin in Maine, Pete, Jonesy, Henry and Beaver battle a slew of alien creatures that explode from the rectums of the humans they briefly inhabit before maturing into more traditional big-headed, skinny naked aliens. The morasses of convoluted narrative threads resemble a bad network television miniseries with an added liberty of cable television vulgarity.

The fact that schlock director Kevin Smith's glad-ham acting discovery Jason Lee ("Chasing Amy") has a major role, as a character named Beaver, is a tip-off to "Dreamcatcher's" limited scope of personality.

Worst fears are confirmed when Beaver sits on a closed toilet containing a ferocious turd-like alien in a blood soaked bathroom with a fresh fat corpse only a few feet away. Beaver has an obsessive-compulsive disorder that makes it absolutely necessary for him to reach for a dropped toothpick that will cause him to abandon his post long enough to release the multifanged creature that will most surely kill him.

When Jonesy (Damian Lewis - "Band of Brothers") returns to the bathroom with duct tape in hand, Beaver has succumbed to his own stupidity and the horrid toothed-vagina mouth of the slimy alien predator.

Jonesy's body is shortly inhabited by an alien with a British accent who argues with our abstract protagonist, caught in the sepia tone of a "memory warehouse" inside his brain from which he hides pieces of his memory that enables him to fight the alien

enemy from inside. Thankfully, Jonesy doesn't suffer from the extreme flatulence that every other human alien host we see suffers.

The movie digresses into an inexplicable fart-fest long enough to discredit any horrific edge the film may have had; but there are other equally disruptive devices that turn mockery into muddle.

The film gets scornfully loopy when antialien mercenary and egomaniac Colonel Curtis (Morgan Freeman - "Deep Impact") sets out, with his team of heavily armed soldiers, to slaughter quarantined alien-infected humans, while bombing out of existence thousands of freshly hatched aliens who have taken over a vast area in Maine. The American Indian inspired "Dreamcatcher" macramé relic, which the movie loosely bases its image system on, bears no narrative significance except that the mentally disabled Duddits (Donnie Wahlberg - "The Sixth Sense") generated its creation by our four pseudo-heroes. Satire is sacrificed for commercially skewed dialogue about Viagra, Chevrolet and Wal-Mart. "SSDD" ("Same shit, different day") is a key catch phrase that Beaver, Jonesy, Pete and Henry use to express their unity. The aphorism might just as well be used to describe the monotonous droning dramatic pattern that the movie becomes as unsympathetic characters perish and an idiot savant in love with "Scooby Doo" is left to save the world.

"Dreamcatcher" is destined for cult status as a failed movie of such gigantic proportions that it calls for close scrutiny to dissect every shard of abandoned plot and character elements. When Jonesy is struck by a speeding car early in the movie, it's very clearly Stephen King airing out the terrible accident he suffered when he was struck down while walking near his home. But there's no context given for the brutal event in the movie, and Jonesy's healing process is never addressed. The sudden violent strike comes with hot surprise like a scene from one of the far superior "Final Destination" films. From the look of this latest Stephen King based film, it seems that the writer has finally reached his last stop after a long series of great successes.

It can go beyond language, beyond age, beyond color straight to the heart and mind of all people" Ben Harper. Pleasure & Pain is an in-depth look at the life and works of contemporary roots rock icon Ben Harper, who was featured in Standing in the Shadows of Motown. It offers an intriguing glimpse into Harper's travels, performances, songwriting, religion, and life in general. Along with a rare behind-the-scenes perspective of this enigmatic musician's life, it incorporates concert footage, backstage clips, and the efforts that go into producing his performances. Rock photographer Danny Clinch toured with Harper throughout the US and Europe, shooting in all sorts of formats-16 mm, Super 8, digicam, shooting from strange angles, later collaging all this together. Not just another self-indulgent music-omentary, Pleasure & Pain lives up to its name by showing the imperfect yet true humanity behind the performer that we place on a pedestal. Unrated. 93 min. Tickets: $7 w/MFF passport. $10 single.

DIFFICULTLISTENING

BY TANG LI WHEEBS & THE MOLE

SJ THE WORD BURGLAR: THE WORD BURGLAR EP (independent, wordburglar@frogshit.com)

single use needles every client

sterile experienced friendly

First of all, this is actually an album, not an EP as the title suggests. I guess he called it an EP cause he's just zany like that.

Zany is actually a perfect way to describe this guy. Once again, the twisted woods of Canada have parted to expose a complete weirdo. The common reaction from guests when I played this album was, "What the hell is this?...This is stupid!" This was my reaction too, but like my guests, I sat through the entire album with a big, dumb grin. As an example of this guy's extreme level of buffoonery, one of the choruses has him rhyming "Word Burglar" with "turd gurgler [sic]". Contributing to the overall absurdity of his sound, SJ also has a really wacky voice and delivery, like an excited clown or something. For me, the highlight of The Word Burglar EP comes at the end, when the Burglar belts out his lengthy ode to minor Simpsons character, Disco Stu. With this song, SJ has created perhaps the dumbest, corniest rap song ever, and that is a feat to behold. [The Mole] Wheebs would probably like this ‘cause he likes silly, cute things. But maybe this wouldn't be cute enough for him - I don't know. How can I possibly speak for Tang Li Wheebs? [The Mole filling in for Tang Li Wheebs]

CIRCUIT SCARECROW: CIRCUIT SCARECROW EP (deletememory, www.deletememory.com)

large body jewelry selection kama’aina rates with i.d. mon-sat 11am-8pm & sun 12pm-6pm 143 lahainaluna rd. • lahaina • 808/661-1369

These guys caught me by surprise. Circuit Scarecrow, from southern California and comprised of Tim Cosner on programming and Mario Nieto on vocals, is crazy. If it had to be categorized I would call it industrial hip-hop. There are lots of buzzes, distortion, bangs, and general abrasiveness comprising the music. Some cranky old person might argue with me whether it's music at all. Some would call it noise. I wouldn't play this if I was trying to lull a baby to sleep, but I do find it quite enjoyable. While the music is somewhat harsh on the ears, Nieto's warm and human voice rapping on top of it makes it all very pleasing to me. The guy raps pretty cool. The meanings of his lyrics are hard for me to comprehend, but I like the sound of them. He says stuff like "tear drop from a cloud's eye at the sound of a mother's cry.” Neat. I'm really looking forward to the release of these guys' full-length album. For now, you can purchase this CD for $4 at www.deletememory.com - go get it. [The Mole]

CURSIVE: THE UGLY ORGAN (Saddle Creek, www.saddle-creek.com) The Ugly Organ is my first exposure to Cursive and it leaves me wanting more. They are quite a bit different from almost any rock band that I have heard in awhile. Heavy with cutting guitars, fun rhythms and good use of their new cello player, they make many a well-crafted song. Fans of the Fugazi/DC sound would most likely welcome Cursive to be their new friends and enjoy a fruitful relationship. But beware, this album is pretty darn catchy. [Tang Li Wheebs]

SAUL WILLIAMS: NOT IN OUR NAME (Synchronic Records, www.notinournamemusic.com) A fitting release for the times, Saul Williams latest EP is based on the recent issues of terrorism and U.S. government policies and actions. The general message is that Williams and many other card-carrying Americans are pissed about our government's actions and they want the world to know that they don't support this greed-based war, even though it has been waged in their name. As far as lyrics go, this little recording is packed to the brim with cutting declarations such as, "If we only see what they want us to see we'll only be what they want us to," and "You want to put me on your blacklist? You can use my blood for ink," and Williams' intense delivery, backed by equally forceful and driving beats, makes for a very powerful listening experience. The only downpoint in the EP lies in one of the remixes of the title track, which, musically, doesn't really do it for me. The rest of the music is very energetic, driving, and dramatic, with much more of a street/hip-hop tone than most of the music on Williams' debut album, 2001's Amethyst Rockstar. You can download this entire release for free at www.notinournamemusic.com [The Mole]

ADVICEGODDESS KOZMICBREEZE

BY AMY ALKON

BY KOZMIC KEV

POUNDS FOR DISMISSAL

ARIES: You reign supreme on your home turf.

What's the right response when a woman asks, "Will you still love me if I get fat?" Is it true that, if you love someone, it doesn't matter what physical shape they're in? I keep myself in extremely good condition. I run the Boston Marathon every year, and exercise at least five times a week.

Seven years ago, when we met, she knew how important exercise was to me. She took up running, and even did half-marathons with me. I love her, and we have a wonderful life together, but I'm concerned that she's asking this. I'm very attracted to her in her current slim state, but I'm not attracted to heavy women. How do I respond without sounding like a self-centered jerk?

-Don't Want a Fat Wife

By Monday the Aries moon will put you in a powerful place. Social obligations need to match up with future goals. Adventure is the name of the game and you are the star of the show.

TAURUS: Tactics may have to be altered or changed. The party isn’t over yet; it's a good time to move in another direction. Secrets are only for wise and trustworthy people. Don't force any situations into happening. Patience wins out.

GEMINI: Your ideas are now ready to be received. Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel and you will survive this wild-ass ride. Your workload is likely to change.

The new moon inspires your social life and helps you to meet people.

CANCER: Responsibility will be your key word this week. Are you ready to accept your own authority? Your talents, skills and challenges will be before you. You will rise to the occasion and take control of a potentially bad situation.

LEO: Discovery is at every corner. Take a new perspective on your living season. An excursion into the natural world, or into a world of different cultures is about to commence. Good luck is with you in spite of the many obstacles you face.

VIRGO: Once you've had a taste of your favorite thing to do you will return to do it over and over.

Even a prude like you is entitled to some good oldfashioned lust. Be a kind and respectful flirt.

There's enough meanness in the world.

LIBRA: Only you can cool the jets of a tyrant.

Music tames the savage beast. Your words come out like music and poetry. Even criminals have some respect for cultural beauty. We all can use a good lesson on diplomacy. You believe in fairness.

SCORPIO: Feed your body the best food you can find. Most people treat their cars better than their body. Don't make that mistake. The exercise you do now will lead to the body that people will be admiring this summer.

SAGITTARIUS: The sun is shining on your life. You can invoke the artist within. You're ready to create things, love people, and have fun.

This is a good time for you to find a sense of direction. Keep a close eye on your children if you have any.

CAPRICORN: You're about to take on some major domestic adjustments.

Family issues will take a more important roll in your life. Social grace will come to you with ease.

You're somewhat obsessed with that which distinguishes you from others.

AQUARIUS: Skip through your neighborhood with childlike innocence. Make a poem about the people and things that are closest to you. Close friends need to be visited or called upon.

Thursday and Friday feature an Aquarius moon.

It's a good time for intellectual conversations.

PISCES: Brace yourself for the rugged and wild world of finances. Property value and value in general is on your mind. Saturday and Sunday are your power days with the moon in Pisces.

You're in an easily excitable situation. Practice deep breathing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Shirley Jones 3/31/34, Jimmy Cliff 4/1/48, Mariah Carey 3/27/71 kozmickev@sunset.net

The right response, when a woman asks you anything about her weight -if you're unable to evaporate, disintegrate, or spontaneously combust - is to make a mad dash for the men's room and flush yourself down the toilet. If there's a line for the john, maybe a sympathetic waiter will rush you a glass of water so you can try to drown yourself.

Your wife's inquiry isn't necessarily a sign that she's preparing to merge into the fat lane.

That's why you should do a little investigative work before you take your happily married life in your hands and answer her question. She's asking for one of several reasons: - There's imminent danger that the two of you will soon be living in three zip codes: your present one, and two new ones - one for each of her thighs.

- Some woman she knows just got dumped by her husband because she "let her figure go a little" (like, from hourglass to holding tank).

Naturally, the husband took up with a 21-yearold indie rocker chick who could get steady work as a med-school skeleton.

- She thinks you're running too much and paying too little attention to her. Getting you to picture her beached on the couch, chocolate smeared around her lips, surrounded by a little graveyard of empty cupcake boxes - might be just the thing to make you sit down, untie your running shoes, and take notice.

- She just wants reassurance that you love her - and thought her best shot at an honest answer would be floating the idea that her butt might someday get so big, she'll be required by state law to attach trailer brake lights to her Levi's.

If she's simply looking for a declaration of love, she's making the same mistake you are - confusing Love (tender appreciation for her sweet heart, searching intellect, and saintly disposition) with Hot, Burning Love (panting, screeching wild monkey lust). The truth is, if she tubbed out, you would most likely continue to love her - you just wouldn't want to hot, burning love her.

Unless you're reasonably sure your wife has expansion plans, avoid the temptation to be completely honest. Instead, be partially honest.

Tell her you'll always love her - even if she supersizes her thighs until they squeeze under airline armrests and get friendly with other passengers.

Follow up by expressing (frequently, please) how eminently jumpable she is in her current condition - thus communicating how important it is that she keeps herself looking more suitable for the catwalk than the livestock auction.
