I recently read the article “New Age Bling Bling: Unlocking the mysteries of sacred geometry” by Barukh Shalev (Dec. 20, 2004). The purpose of this letter is simply to clear up some factual misrepresentations on the part of the author of that piece. I attended the evening talk referenced in the story, and have since confirmed the facts with others who were in attendance that evening. Some of the author’s information was correct, though his written opinions/perspectives speak volumes. I would like to correct a few factual errors which appeared in the story.

1. The “spacey-eyed Puerto Rican girl” referenced is not named “Leta.” Her name is Aida.

2. The “shoddy-looking ‘gold-plated’ medallion with various rhinestones glued on” as Mr. Shalev stated in his story actually has semi-precious stones: rubies, topaz, amethyst, etc., which are attached to the base in a handcrafted, high quality manner.

3. A fellow who was wearing an e.pendant at the talk was quoted as saying, “Like I wasn’t making the decisions, the e.pendant was” and “everything I did was not coming from my thinking mind.” These statements were not spoken. He never even implied such things.

4. The author of the article also quoted Gregory Hoag as saying that he was “working with 19,000-foot cliffs from some land I bought in Colorado,” Mr. Hoag spoke of 14,000-foot peaks near his property (The highest peak in Colorado is 14,433).

The author also put sentences together within quotes that were not spoken together, and which are a bit out of context, which naturally [mis]construes the original meaning.

No one is served by overt factual errors in reporting. Maui Time has such a powerful opportunity, as does any publication, to educate and inform its community of readers in such a diverse and wonderful island as Maui.

-Elizabeth Crow, Haiku

The Editor responds: 1. Actually, we called the spacey-eyed Puerto Rican girl “Ieta.” It’s still spelled wrong, so that’s my bad.

2. I don’t care if the e.pendant was studded with diamonds—it looked shoddy as all hell.

3. Sorry you and your friends didn’t hear Sky say those things, but he definitely said them.

4. Shalev’s notes say 14,000, but somehow this got changed to 19,000. Again, my fault.

As far as compressing quotes is concerned, space reasons didn’t permit us to quote the speakers in their entirety. Moving quotes around for purposes of clarity and drama is a generally accepted practice, as long as the actual wording and meaning remains intact.

In the case of this story, I’m confident the integrity of the quotes is solid.

FOUND PEACE AND JOY I am writing in response to the article written

by Barukh Shalev about Kalaupapa in your January 6, 2005 issue (“Cast Away”). For the past 14 years I have lived and worked at the Kalaupapa settlement. Apparently, Mr. Shalev did not do his homework, as is evidenced by the many incorrect statements he so “sensationally” shared with your readers. Obviously, Mr. Shalev decided upon the theme of his story and simply tried to gather evidence to support it.

Unfortunately, for your readers who have visited Kalaupapa, the article is not valid, but mere sensationalism and extremely exploitative and hurtful to a community who has already endured lifetimes of stigma.

On a personal note—we only see what we choose to look at… I hope someday your heart finds peace and joy so that you will be able to recognize it when you see it. Until then, know that the “aloha spirit” is alive and well at Kalaupapa.

-Barbarajean Reid, Kalaupapa

The Editor responds: All that vitriol, yet you couldn’t come up with a single, concrete example to back up your assertions? Not even an itty bitty little one? Come on, Barbarajean! You can do better than that!

EH BRAH! Send anonymous thanks, confessions or accusations, 200 words or less, changing or deleting the names of the guilty and innocent to “Eh Brah!” c/o Maui Time Weekly, 658 Front Street, Ste. 126A–7278, Lahaina, HI 96761 or send an e-mail to

To the two young hitchhikers my husband so thoughtfully gave a ride to: he had just worked 18 hours in the shitty weather on a fishing boat, and although cold, wet and hungry and just wanting to get home to his wife and daughter, he saw you guys walking in the rain. Though he never picks up hitchhikers, the weather was bad and he gave you a hand. He wasn’t expecting anything from you—certainly not that you’d steal his wallet. It really shows that no good deed goes unpunished—thanks for proving that just one more time for all of us. Is it any wonder that a simple act of kindness has become so rare?

Trying to Save Life

Slow Learners

I’m standing at Ma’alaea Harbor with about a dozen local residents, ranging in age from 23 to 70. The sun’s just coming up and they’re watching groups of sleepyeyed tourists arrive for commercial snorkel boat tours.

The residents, who are carrying signs and chanting “pump it, don’t dump it,” begin handing out flyers to the tourists. Some of the tourists quickly walk by with confused looks on their faces, avoiding eye contact with the demonstrators. But most of them accept the flyers and quickly read them.

The chanting and sign waving continues as the boats pull away from their slips.

“Get a life,” shouts one crewman.

“We’re trying to save life!” demonstrator Ishiah Morrey yells back.

This is how the first public protest against commercial tour boats dumping untreated human sewage into Maui’s waters began. Their first picketing occurred on the morning of Jan. 27, but the protesters have been returning to the harbor at least once a week.

Currently, it’s perfectly legal for the com-

Cruise Control Vessel: ms Veendam Operator: Holland America Line Complement: 1,792 Last Sanitation Inspection: 11/13/04 Score: 96 out of 100 On Jan. 29, CNN reported that gastrointestinal illness hit 230 passengers of the liner ms Veendam, cutting short its Caribbean voyage.

Amazingly, some passengers told the news network that cruise line officials had warned them before they boarded that 70 passengers had become ill during the vessel’s previous voyage. Even more amazing is that the ship scored so high during its most recent Center for Disease Control inspection. Of course, sanitation inspectors did find problems with food storage and refrigeration temperature as well as a couple dishwashers, a juicer, hamburger grill, ice cream station and a curious lack of “WASH HANDS OFTEN” signs in the hand washing stations. In case you’re curious, the Veendam last visited Maui in October, 2004.

Let the protests against tour boat sewage dumping begin

Nice signs mercial tour boat operators to release the waste three miles from the shoreline (see “More Pumping, Less Dumping,” Jan. 13). But opposition to the practice is growing.

State officials have said they want the dumping stopped, too, but admit that it will take years to build a proper pump-out facility at Ma’alaea Harbor. In the meantime, the Kihei Community Association will discuss the matter during its Feb. 15 meeting.

For the demonstrators who stood on the docks on Jan. 27, there was no need for discussion. They want proper pump-out facilities built at the harbor and they want commercial tour boats to stop dumping waste into the water.

“Most of the paddlers I know who enter the ocean with a cut get a staph infection,” said Kihei Canoe Club member Jim “Kimo” Hylkema, who added that he constantly sees the brown, sewage plumes when he paddles along the south shore. “When we paddle through these sewage slicks, I advise the paddlers not put their hands in the water.”

Protester Eileen McKee swims daily at Keawakapu Beach. She said she not only sees the sewage in the water, she smells it. She’s protesting because she’s tired of the lack of action taken by both the boat operators and the state. “I’m determined to protest until these boats take responsibility and quit polluting the ocean they’re profiting from,” she said.

Morrey agreed. “Mother Nature is paying the price for the industry’s laziness and greed,” she said. She added that boat operators need to pay greater respect to Maui’s marine environment.

“We need to make people aware of what’s happening here,” she said. “It’s just common sense that dumping raw sewage is detrimental to mammals, fish and people.”

Kayak guides Deja Howard and Rudy Ciarfella see the problem firsthand in the area of Nahuna Point and Makena.

“When I have to explain to my customers what we’re paddling through, I see their eyes immediately glass over in disgust,” said Howard.

Pollution Protests For more information about the next demonstration, call Dennis Fitzpatrick at 572-6565.

Both Howard and Ciarfella believe once these tour boat customers become aware, they will help put economic pressure on the operators to pay to pump out the waste.

Maui County Environmental Coordinator Rob Parsons showed up at the protest as well.

“As one who has held signs to state my opinion and inform the public many times in the past, I see the value in what they are doing to inform the public and boat owners,” he said.

“It shows their dedication to the cause and to finding a solution that they are out at Ma’alaea Harbor before the sun is up.”

This week marks the first time in a long time that there will be no minor decoy sting operation cases heard during a Liquor Department Adjudication Board hearing. In fact, there are only two cases during the Feb. 3, 2005 hearing, and neither deals with the LC sending underage kids into bars.

It sometimes seems that 90 percent of the cases heard by the Board over the past year were sting operations. If there’s one thing the Adjudication Board should really understand, it’s sting operations.

Of course, they don’t. I first learned that during the Nov. 9, 2004 hearing. It was the day of the big Hyatt Regency case, but there were a bunch of other sting operation cases heard that day as well.

One was a minor decoy operation that nabbed the Minit Stop in Kahului. Like most establishments, it pled no contest.

As deputy prosecuting attorney Angela Hedge was reading the details of the case, Board Member Marilyn Chapman suddenly spoke up.

“Why is the minor not identified?” the Board Member since April, 2003 asked.

Hedge froze. After all, this was old news. For years the LC had been content to have the names of minor decoys appear in case files and Adjudication Board agendas. But then the department said that they didn’t want to “endanger” the junior secret agents.

The LC stopped naming the guys months ago. The policy became apparent during the Sept. 2, 2004 hearing, which Chapman attended. Maui Time first reported on the new policy on Sept. 30, 2004, with a follow-up story appearing on Oct. 7, 2004.

Apparently, Chapman wasn’t aware of any of that. Then Board Chairman Shigeto “Mustard” Murayama got into the act.

“Sometimes you do [name the decoys],” he said, mistakenly referring to cases in which the names of non-LC minors caught drinking appeared in the agenda.

“Used to,” said Hedge.

“Is this something new?”

Chapman then asked.

Hedge paused again, then explained the LC’s not-so new policy. Chapman nodded, and the hearing continued.

Guess some people are just slow learners. MTW

MAUICOUNTY WEDNESDAY, JAN. 26 And then there were five… candidates to replace state Representative Sol Kaho’ohalahala in the 13th District, that is. Ah, yes. First there was one chosen Democrat—current mayoral aide Mele Carroll—ready to take over the seat from the popular legislator. Then there were nine, including Carroll, offered by the Maui County Democratic Party. Then Governor Linda Lingle—who ultimately gets to choose the new representative—got into the act by contriving a complex process that boosted the number of possible choices to no more than 36, which also still included Carroll. But now that list is back to five, and guess who’s still on the list? That’s right! Mele Carroll! And now that Lingle has a manageable list, she should come up with a winner really quick, right? Of course not—she’s said she’ll be naming Kaho’ohalahala’s successor on Feb. 7, which is nearly two weeks from now.

FRIDAY, JAN. 28 In a brief, un-bylined Honolulu Advertiser story, U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye (D, Hawaii) tries to explain why he voted to approve Condoleezza Rice as the next U.S. Secretary of State. First, he said he always supports a president’s cabinet nominees “unless the nominee is a criminal or intellectually or mentally unfit.” That’s straightforward enough, though I doubt it would come into play because even Dubya probably won’t nominate would-be Homeland Security director Bernard Kerik for a job again. But secondly, Inouye said his voting against Rice—an unabashed Iraq invasion supporter—would have been “hypocritical,” since neither he nor his Senate colleagues bashed now-former Secretary of State Colin Powell for “lying and misleading” when he boosted the war to the United Nations back in late 2002. Now that’s just wonderful. Or, put another way, the U.S. is doomed to watch this violent insanity drag on because our elected representatives are terrified of admitting that they messed up three years ago.

Since when? Their movie theater smells like fish! Of course, A&B has offered museum owner and curator Ray Roberts a coveted spot in the it-just-looks-abandoned Kahului Shopping Center, but he’s justifiably hesitant about moving his collection of 2,000 paper and aluminum can airplane models into a “shopping center” that saw its best days during the Skinny Elvis era.

So George W. didn’t waste any time decreeing the Iraqi elections a “resounding success.” Sure, the 59 percent voter turnout rate was impressive—that same percentage of Americans voted in the 2004 election, which if you’ll remember was marred by somewhat fewer terror threats, suicide bombings and snipings than Iraq. Still, Bush could have waited until they counted at least one vote before opening his pretzel hole.

TUESDAY, FEB. 1 Then again, Dubya’s blathering did divert precious media resources away from that government audit which showed that the old Coalition Provisional Authority that ruled Iraq in the heady initial days of the Iraqi occupation lost an astonishing $9 billion, which is roughly three times the already insane amount of dough ChevronTexaco just raked in.

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD LOVE AND WAR Nonlethal war tactics suggested by an Air Force research team in the 1990s were made public in December by the military watchdog organization Sunshine Project and included a recommendation to expose enemy troops to powerful aphrodisiacs in order to distract them into lustful hookups with each other (irrespective of gender).

The Pentagon said the idea was dropped almost immediately, but the Sunshine Project said it was discussed as recently as 2001. Other ideas: giving the enemy severe halitosis (so they could be detected within a civilian population), overrunning enemy positions with rats or wasps, and creating waves of fecal gas.

SCENES OF THE SURREAL In a December demonstration against the opening of a McDonald’s in the Mediterranean town of Sete, France, about 500 protesters, using a homemade catapult, bombarded the restaurant with fresh catches of the area’s renowned delicacy, octopus. And in October NASA announced that it was retiring the KC-135 plane it had long been using to train astronauts for weightlessness in flight. An official told reporters that the air crews had kept track of the amount of astronaut vomit cleaned up over the years and that the total was at least 285 gallons.

YOUNG PEOPLE A 21-year-old man was hospitalized in intensive care in Murdoch, Australia (near Perth), in December following a barroom stunt in which he put on a helmet connected to a beer jug, with a hose that ran between the jug and a pump powered by an electric drill. The idea was to facilitate drinking a large quantity of beer without the laborious tasks of lifting a glass and

GROWN-UPS Charles Bonney, 67, and Victor Harris, 36, were detained by police in Godfrey, Ill., in December after squaring off in their vehicles (Chevrolet Camaro and Acura Integra) and repeatedly ramming each other in the street and then in the parking lot of C&W Auto Glass, because of their ongoing feud over a woman. Eventually, only Bonney faced criminal charges.

IRONY On Dec. 20, a United Parcel Service driver was involved in a crash on an icy road near Keene, New Hampshire. He suffered a head injury, and was taken to Cheshire Medical Center, where tests were to be performed, except that the required machine for them was broken, though parts were on order. After checking the status of the order, hospital personnel discovered that the parts had been shipped and were in fact in the crashed UPS truck, and someone was dispatched to the scene of the accident to retrieve them.

THINNING THE HERD A 70-year-old woman was fatally struck by two cars as she, wielding a knife, chased her husband into the street during an argument (Springfield Township, Pennsylvania in November). And a 43-year-old passenger was fatally injured, after he, sitting in the back seat, began beating up the driver, causing him to lose control and smash into a tree. The driver survived (Newport News, Virginia in November). And a 54-year-old man was killed after a road rage duel with another driver when he got out of his car, lunged after the other car while it was moving, missed, and hit his head (Jacksonville, Florida in August).

‘Restore Balance’ How Hawaii is making it easier to send you to jail

*Same day booking only subject to availability. Kama’aina friends and family! Only one ID requred.

The war against civil rights in Hawaii is progressing nicely. Flush from his fourout-four constitutional amendments victory in the November, 2004 election, state Attorney General Mark Bennett has rounded up a posse he’s calling his “Law Enforcement Coalition”—Hawaii’s county prosecutors, police chiefs and the local U.S. Attorney’s office—to boost seven new anti-crime/drug/civil rights bills this legislative term.

“The members of the Law Enforcement Coalition support a broad range of bills that protect the public safety, help law enforcement, and help to restore balance to the criminal justice system,” reads a Jan. 20 press release sent out on official Attorney General stationery.

“Each of the seven bills included in the Coalition’s legislative package has the unanimous support of every member of the Coalition.”

Hey, why be content

SENTENCING “REFORM” Run fast from anything labeled “reform” that’s handed to you by a law and order advocate. This little piece of legislative adjudication wants to hand down a “mandatory sentence of 30 years to life for habitual violent felons” and pass a few other punishment minimums that take away a lot of the reasons for having judges in the first place.

DEFENDANT TESTIMONY This would make it legal for prosecutors to introduce evidence that a defendant has, according to the Coalition, “prior convictions for crimes involving dishonesty.” Wow. Um, don’t all crimes involve some sort of dishonesty? Hey, just checking. Anyway, while it seems unfair right now that defense attorneys can bust witnesses for their prior dishonesty convictions but the DA can’t do the same for the defendant, it seems downright scary that we should make the prosecutor’s job as easy as possible.

“BLANK” MEANS “BLANK”

with being the state’s AG when you can also push for new laws that make your job easier? Like last year’s constitutional amendments, Bennett’s new bills chip away at legal protections enjoyed by defendants in the State of Hawaii. Here they are:

ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE Calling the state’s surveillance laws “outdated and unusable” in its press release, the Coalition wants to make it easier for cops to get wiretaps. Currently wiretaps in state cases can only come after a pre-warrant court hearing—a Hawaii exclusive, actually. “Witnesses at such hearings may be placed in life-threatening danger if their identities are revealed to drug dealers,” states the Coalition release. That seems shocking until you remember that ALL witnesses face retaliation for their courtroom testimony. Remember that thing saying defendants have the right to face their accusers? Yeah, we like that.

Here, Hawaii’s top cops want to make it easier to prosecute public officials who take bribes. This sounds fine with us, which actually makes us suspicious.

This one’s real curious, considering it has absolutely nothing to do with criminal justice. This reworks our constitutional amendment process by prohibiting the counting of “blank” votes as “no” votes. What happened, Bennett, got lots more anti-due process amendments in the works? Seriously, what are you guys worried about? Last year you labeled four amendments attacking due process as “victim’s rights” measures and the voters bought it. In fact, all four amendments passed overwhelmingly— the “blank” votes were negligible compared to final vote tallies.

SEX OFFENDER INFO This enacts last year’s constitutional amendment that greatly loosened up the public availability of personal information for all convicted sex offenders, irrespective of the actual crimes that got them busted in the first place. But hey—309,415 Hawaii residents voted for this one, so who are we to stand in their way?

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE This would create “domestic violence fatality review teams” within the state Department of Health. “These teams,” according to the Jan. 20 Coalition press release, “will conduct reviews of domestic violence fatalities with the goal of reducing the occurrence of preventable domestic violence fatalities.” Yeah. I have no idea what that means, beyond government will create more government to figure out why we have domestic violence. MTW

The phony tort reform crisis On a recent episode of Fear Factor, two flat-tummied babes in hot pants and jogging bras agreed to be locked into a glass coffin with 500 panicky tarantulas—“we’re adding crickets to keep the tarantulas active,” the show’s host explained helpfully—as their boyfriends sawed a metal bar to free them.

It’s amazing what people will do for money.

How much money would you require in order to consent to having your leg chopped off? How about a finger? Would you agree to be blinded for $1 million? $10 million?

Wouldn’t passing away painlessly, under anesthesia, be worth the price if you believed that your family would become wealthy as a result?

If you’re rational, you think these are crazy questions. Good health, a sound body, life itself are all priceless. No amount

insurance premiums would be comparably small,” the CBO determined. That’s chump change—a mere five bucks out of the $900 I blow on health insurance each month.

Consider, for example, the case of Yvonne Kimura, a 49-year-old pharmacist from Fresno. Surgeons at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center operated on her to remove a benign tumor in her leg. At one point in the operation they decided to cut a nerve without bothering to call in a specialist to determine whether it was a motor or sensory nerve.

Big mistake. She can no longer move or feel her foot. She’ll wear a brace the rest of her life.

A San Francisco jury awarded her $3.3 million in punitive plus $286,000 in future wage loss and medical expenses. Would you trade places with Ms. Kimura, even for $3.6 million?

HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD YOU REQUIRE IN ORDER TO CONSENT TO HAVING YOUR LEG CHOPPED OFF? HOW ABOUT A FINGER? of money can compensate you for unnecessarily losing a function or body part. And that’s what the Bush Administration and its medical industry allies think too. Under their proposed “tort reform” legislation, you’ll receive virtually nothing if you’re butchered by a careless doctor.

A jury can award two classes of damages to a victim of medical malpractice: economic and punitive. Economic damages compensate a patient for future wages lost as a result of a doctor’s mistake. They also send a warning to other doctors not to behave negligently. Bush wants to slap a limit on economic damages, but with the average household earning about $40,000 a year, lost wages tend to be relatively low. The current proposal focuses on the punitive component because it comprises the biggest part of large damage awards. Bush wants to limit punitive damages to $250,000.

“This liability system, I’m telling you, is out of control,” Bush says. “Because the system is so unpredictable, there is a constant risk of being hit by a massive jury award. It’s costly for the doctors, it’s costly for small businesses, it’s costly for hospitals, it is really costly for patients.”

The Congressional Budget Office finds that the costs associated with malpractice— buying insurance and paying out damage awards—amounts to less than two percent of America’s skyrocketing healthcare expenses.

“Even a reduction of 25 percent to 30 percent in malpractice costs would lower healthcare costs by only about 0.4 percent to 0.5 percent, and the likely effect on health

Like 26 other states, however, California already caps punitive damages at $250,000.

Mr. Kimura collected just $536,000, minus legal fees that may have run as high as one third. To Republicans who believe she got what she deserves: get in touch. I’ll gladly smash one of your legs with a sledgehammer for half a million bucks, but I get the TV rights.

Operators are standing by.

Or how about this one: On November 9, 1992, Maryland resident Valerie Shea was given an emergency Caesarean section at Anne Arundel Medical Center. But after her son Patrick was delivered, he was still suffering from fetal tachycardia, a condition which made his heart race at over 200 beats per minute and turned his skin blue. Her pediatrician placed an oxygen mask on Patrick and put ice on his cheeks to revive him, but mistakenly waited 56 minutes before sticking a breathing tube down his throat.

Patrick lived, but he suffered severe brain injuries during that crucial hour and 20 minutes. With an IQ of 49, he is in special education and requires 24-hour care.

When he was nine years old, Patrick’s parents sued the pediatrician and hospital after a nurse who had witnessed the birth finally stepped forward and told them what had happened. A jury handed them $1.4 million for the child’s future medical expenses, $3.5 million for his lost earning capacity and $1.5 million for pain and suffering.

“Every day, we worried, what will happen to him when we’re gone,” Patrick’s mom said after the verdict. “Now we don’t have to worry.” Seems like a fair use of the insurance company’s $6.4 million, not to mention my five bucks. MTW

Seeing Paia Completely

A young woman returns to her hometown It’s raining, as is usual for an early Paia morning. The bright lights of LiveWire Café are on, and they help me feel awake. I’m amazed that there’s already a line at this hour of 7:30 in the a.m. Inside the internet coffee house it looks like International Day. As I glance over shoulders of those chugging away at email and instant messages, I see that each computer seems set to a different language.

There’s English, German, Spanish and Japanese. Then the barista serves me up a nice cup of joe.

She tells me that she’s lived here many years, but her Australian accent is stubborn.

I sit outside on the patio and admire the sun breaking through the clouds onto the old town buildings of Paia. I seem to remember these buildings as being general stores and diners, but they’re now souvenir shops and real estate offices.

All through the past four years of college on the mainland, I remembered Paia this way: simple. I would brag about the ease and freewill of my hometown to my mainland friends who spent their youth trapped in the suburbs. But now, returning home, I’m shocked at the amount of growth and change that has taken place over these short years.

The whole island seems to have caught some advanced development virus.

Growing up in Paia meant freedom for a kid without a driver’s license. It meant walking a lot. I would walk into town to meet my friends. Then we’d walk to the Picnics restaurant—which isn’t there anymore—counting pennies and hoping we’d have enough to buy a smoothie.

Then we were off to the beach for swimming and watching the Paia boys raise havoc on the

hippies. This was before the Youth Center, you see, and a lot of trouble could go down when you’re bored with the beach. And at sundown, I’d head to Paia Video to rent the latest Disney movie.

But now? The town with one traffic light?

Simple seems to have been sugarcoated, upcharged and put on a calendar.

Paia Video is a real estate office. Café Mambo—a yummy yet pricey combination of

sandwiches and exotic delights—sits where old Picnics restaurant used to be. I don’t know what LiveWire replaced, but I don’t recall a fluorescent yellow building with bright lights sitting here before.

I look to my left and see the Paia General Store. It’s been there since I can remember.

There are stickers all over its windows that were put there by people from around the

world. Well, some were put up by people who lived here, like me.

I suddenly feel the need to find the sticker I put up there as a kid. A family friend had moved here from Guam to start a surfing supply business in their backyard. Their trade was starting to pick up so we put up a nice big Da Kine emblem to represent them.

But the general store is closed now. In fact, it’s in the process of being destroyed—as I watch, a large bulldozer is knocking it down.

Curious people are standing around watching.

One man runs to his car for his camera. Many are just shaking their heads.

The dozer’s claw slams into the side of the building. I hear breaking glass and realize this is it. Rumors have been flying all over town about what they’d do with it. But now it seems in no time at all that the old building will be a pile of rubble. I was hoping they’d just paint it bright pink and name it something exotic. But now a piece of our history has been wiped away again.

To my right, where there used to be an alley is another construction project. It’s a two-story job with old town framing. A building up the road is built in the same style and has a big “2000” written on the front. It seems like an oxymoron to me. Sometimes Paia reminds me of the Old West part of Knott’s Berry Farm, but with a lot more fluorescent paint.

Slowly I watch the Kahului bound traffic build over the rolling hills toward Kuau. I imagine it goes back to the Mantokuji Soto Mission and wonder if any of the angry traffic people ever stop to admire the Mission’s large bell and old gravestones that date back to the 19th century.

In the afternoon rush hour it will be the same story going the other way back to Sprecklesville and up towards Makawao.

I’m amazed at how a town so small with just one stoplight could host such a traffic problem that it would inconvenience people who live Upcountry.

A woman standing near me is just as amazed. “The other day it took 40 minutes to get from Kahului to here,” she says in a thick English accent.

Old town style, new town traffic.

The local gentry

How can this be? I’m a young woman in my early 20s. Isn’t nostalgia for the old days something only old people experience?

Driving into Ho’okipa, I first see shiny rental cars parked in the concrete lot on the cliff. Tourists are standing against the green railing with their cameras and binoculars, admiring the wicked currents from a safe distance. The barefoot and shirtless locals take it a step further. They climb over the railing and stand at the cliff’s edge, sipping beer.

Below us, it’s a surfing day without enough wind for windsurfing.

But I’ve seen it when the bay is a sea of colored sails and huge numbers of windsurfers are sailing by. Today just the surfers bounce along the waves, with a couple of boogie boarders as well. I watch a girl hop on her board and race from the lip. I keep my eyes on

her, waiting for her to ultimately eat it in the white wash. She does.

A young boy nearby is perched on his father’s shoulders. He is holding binoculars bigger than his head. He shouts with great excitement at every wave that’s caught. He gets even crazier if the surfer takes a fall.

If I had my own binoculars, I’d be looking at the people on the beach, their faces all pointing toward the sea. I’d spy on the guys on the beach, watching them kick back and drink beer in the newly painted pavilions.

A few moments later, a woman asks me to take her picture with the waves in the background. She says her name is Diane and that she came here all the way from Nebraska. She tells me she’s never seen the ocean before, but that her brother came to Maui for his honeymoon and all he could talk about was this beach so she decided that if she was to see the ocean, she’d want to see it here. I tell her she made the right choice. Then I try to picture the ocean as if I’d never seen it before. It’s impossible.

Diane climbs up and sits on the green railing. She’s wearing a bright pink bikini and sarong with black rubber Flojos. I’ve always been amused by tourist attire and am tempted to tell her that she sticks out like a sore thumb.

But she seems happy and smiles really big so I take her picture. With her “I was there and here’s my proof” photo now hers forever she climbs back into her silver Thunderbird rental and heads elsewhere.

They all have dreadlocks. Their clothes are faded and baggy, their skin dirty and darkened by constant sun exposure. There are flies everywhere, on them and me. No one swats them away or even notices them.

Lead Guitar tells me that I should write a story about how there used to be a park next to a nearby shop. People could go there and play music and just hang out. But now the owner comes first thing every morning and kicks them out.

“His name is Richard, I think,” Lead Guitar says. “At least he looks like a Richard, and that would make him a Dick. They’re all Richards, they’re everywhere, buying things up, making money, taking over.”

They add that, apparently, “Richard” owns a block or two of Paia. Later I learn his name isn’t even Richard.

Second Guitarist tells me he’s two weeks from Boston. He gave away his belongings to follow a woman here. He walked straight off the plane to Wailuku, picking flowers for his love along the way. But when he found her,

she had another boyfriend. But Second Guitarist was not let down. He is on Maui, he says, and sleeping on the beach beats sleeping in a car during the winter. He tells me he never wants to see the mainland again.

Two men approach. They’re clearly tourists and wearing Hawaii t-shirts. But they seem to know Lead Guitar. The three of them walk over to the back of the buildings with somekind-of-smokeable-substance.

A middle-aged man with a faded baseball cap and tired eyes, who I am told has a bottle of vodka for breakfast, yells at them to get away from the building. He says it’s disrespectful to the woman’s business. He hopes aloud that someone will call the “fucking cops.” They ignore him.

He curses and threatens them until they’re done. But when they return to the circle, he opens his backpack and offers a fresh fifth of vodka. The tourists take a swig, then go back to being tourists.

The woman has finished her reading and breathing. I ask if I could see her book, which is titled Taoist Yoga and Sexual Energy. She hands it to me, and I start glancing through it.

It tells me that Yang is the father, the celestial architect and creation.

Meanwhile, Yin is the mother, the nurturing energies of life. The book says the world is born of a union of these two, and is made up of them. All the people and places, including Paia. Nothing is complete without the two together.

Sitting in this circle, I see softness. I think it is the Yin of Paia. I look around for Yang without luck, then figure he’s out there at the intersection where I first stood. So I set off. They all wish me good luck.

Back at the intersection, or as I like to call it, the Collision of Worlds, I close my eyes, as instructed by the book. Above the humming engines and musing tourists comes the pounding of hammers from across and down the street. New commercial developments are, well, developing.

I’ve found it. The Yang. Now I see Paia completely.

At least it’s something I could never do as a kid. MTW

New town traffic

I drive back into town and find myself walking through a shaded spot behind the shops.

Sitting on large rocks is a circle of people— transients, hippies, bums, travelers, take your pick. Two men are playing their beat-up guitars, singing and praising Jah. A girl sits with a book open in her lap. But she’s not reading—her eyes are closed and she is breathing deeply. She and the others pause to greet me. I tell them that I’m writing about Paia.

They go back to strumming and breathing.

EMPLOYEE OF THE

WEEK A S T O L D T O K E L LY C H A M B E R S

Susanne Loutsis Server, Café Mambo I visited friends here on Maui when I was 17 years old and moved here from Mendocino County California after I graduated [from] high school. I’ve been here nine years, so you can do the math.

It’s the weather that brings people from the Northwest here. Winters aren’t so fantastic in Northern California. You have to stay inside. You can’t do anything. But here it’s mild and temperate and you can be outside all year round.

Plus all you need is $300 and you can go back home whenever you want.

I work at Café Mambo and at Spa Luna in Haiku. I’m an esthetician. I do facials and waxes. The number one difference between these two jobs is that Café Mambo is really social. You meet all kinds of people in a short amount of time. At Spa Luna it’s one on one or really small groups, a real intimate environment. It’s perfect for me, some days I feel social and outgoing and other days I like the quiet and I really enjoy esthetics.

I’ve worked here at Café Mambo for the past two years—since it’s been open. Only one other guy can say that. Everyone else has come and gone. It’s always changing. The menu has definitely expanded. I mostly recommend the fish and duck items on the menu. Mostly the duck. It’s pretty unique of us to serve duck. Duck isn’t a very common menu item and it’s affordable so you don’t have to go to some fancy French restaurant.

The one thing I think customers don’t know about us here at Café Mambo is that we all really enjoy each other’s company. We stay away from drama, unlike most restaurants, with just a little teasing.

But we do a lot of things together. Some of us take hip-hop classes, and I go surfing with my boss, which is pretty darn neat, to tell you the truth. We all went camping in Kipahulu last week. It was a lot of fun. We have a lot of fun together outside work. Not too many restaurant staffs can tell you that. MTW

Ahh... the Ahn Trio Friday, 7:30 p.m. at Castle Theater, MACC [MUSIC] The Ahn Trio is not your typical classical piano-violin-cello ensemble. Sure, Korean sisters Angella, Maria and Lucia Ahn are graduates of The Juilliard School in New York—they were born in Korea and traveled to the U.S. to study at Juilliard when they were very young. And of course, they have won classical music awards, like the "Echo" Award—the German Grammy—for their first recording. There is also their repertoire, which includes the standards from Haydn and Beethoven, but that’s when the status quo ends. On their current mobile music venture, called the “AhnPlugged” World Tour, they have also included John Zorn, Astor Piazolla and The Doors into the mix, apparently attracting a new audience, of whom chamber music had previously fallen on deaf ears (uh, that was a Beethooven reference, if you didn’t catch that! ...oh, never mind).

Plus, there’s the matter that this particular photo has caused quite a commotion in the office recently. Usually serious-minded, mature, hardworking professional men have gawked openly at my desk.

“Look! She’s holding a violin!” exclaimed one onlooker, breathlessly.

“What does THAT mean?” I asked wryly.

“What doesn’t it mean?!” he replied.

Tickets are $28 and $10, with half-price rates for kids. Pre-show food by the deliciously minded and creative Dr. Fedwell. Beer and wine will be available, too, but keep it in check, guys—this is still a family event involving classical music, ‘k?! [SAMANTHA CAMPOS]

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

by Samantha Campos

Dance of the Day Thursday, 7:30 p.m. at the Castle Theater, MACC [DANCE] Kimberley Day is a former talent scout and judge for Star Search. She also has tons of experience performing and choreographing for various L.A. stage and television shows, as well as teaching jazz dance currently at the MACC. You might even call her Lady of the Dance. Or Dance Mistress. Dance Diva? How about Dancing Queen?! Um… so she knows a hell of a lot about dance. This night’s event is entitled “All That Dance” and features local dancers and choreographers in a fastpaced series of vignettes utilizing jazz, ballet, modern, hip-hop, ballroom, Hollywood tap… whew!… singing, saxophone, “bawdy vaudeville” and Marilyn Manson. Huh, and I thought Marilyn Manson WAS bawdy vaudeville! Tickets are $20, or half-price for keiki. Call 242-7469.

Maui’s Mardi Gras Saturday, 9 p.m. at the Kahului Ale House [PARTY] I’ve never been to Mardi Gras but everybody says it’s really fun. Actually, everyone I know who’s been there always has a few-days lapse of memory about the whole experience but the photos look cool… Well, what I can make out of them anyway with all that flurry of brightly colored strings of beads, feathers, masks, troughs of Hurricanes, shaking booties, naked boobies and inebriated men in dresses. Come to think of it, I think I might’ve been to Mardi Gras, after all! Except we called it UC Santa Cruz. So the Ale House, along with Too Hott Inc., is hosting their version of this freak-fest with Oahu’s Mike D and Maui’s own DJ Skinny Guy. There’s also a costume contest, drink specials and, I’m hoping, at least one dude in taffeta. For more info, call 385-0695 or 385-0535.

Hawaiian Moons Makena Races

Heart Attack Guy

Sunday, 6 a.m. at the Polo Beach Parking Lot in Wailea

Wednesday, 7 p.m. at the Cameron Center Auditorium in Wailuku

[SPORTS] There are two races here—the Half Marathon, which runs from Polo Beach all the way to La Perouse Bay and then back, and the 5K, which goes from Polo to Makena Landing and back.

Wait, I know a guy who ran the Half Marathon last year. He nearly died! Okay, he just felt like he was dying. First of all, it’s hotter than Hell out there on those La Perouse lava fields. Plus he took all day to run the course. In fact, he took so long that they ran out of water by the time he made it to the finish line. So he decided to drink lots of soda—soda being the only beverage then on hand.

But you know the greatest thing about his race? He didn’t finish last. To me, that’s an achievement greater than if he’d won. For more information, call 875-4105.

[ANTHONY PIGNATARO]

DAY

[HEALTH] For many, many years now we’ve been hearing that heart disease is the number one killer around the world. And you know what happens? Not a whole lot, which isn’t surprising considering that McDonald’s is still the number one fast food franchise around the world. But now, Dr. John Kristofich of the Straub Medical Center in Honolulu will talk about how to prevent heart disease in this, the latest in a series of lectures sponsored by the Vegetarian Society of Hawaii.

And since it’s a Vegetarian Society deal, three guesses on the diet Kristofich will recommend. For more information, call 575-7694. [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]

Which one’s the hooker again? reveal subplot replaces the necessary and sticky public disclosure of Kat’s hunky new boyfriend—and yes, their romance blooms—as a male prostitute.

Director Clare Kilner (How To Deal) and first-time screenwriter Dana Fox ended up with the logline “Love doesn’t come cheap” to

describe their movie. But The Wedding Date is a movie that lamely attempts to disprove the assertion by showing that any American bimbo can buy a prostitute and live happily ever after. To that end, I think a more appropriate logline would be “Goodbye and good riddance.” MTW

Castle Theater, 572-3456 Stage Beauty - R - Wed 5, 7:30pm

MAUI MALL MEGAPLEX

Wednesday, February 9 Stage Beauty 5 & 7:30 p.m., Castle Theater This vivid dramedy tells the story of 1660s England when women are forbidden from acting and female roles were routinely played by men.

Starring Billy Crudup, Claire Danes, Rupert Everett, Tom Wilkinson and Ben Chaplin, this compelling meditation on sexuality and identity has been called "Sexier than Shakespeare in Love"

by Esquire Magazine and "A gorgeous, funny, smart, sexy beast of a movie that generates dizzying heat" by Elle Magazine. Rated R. 105 min.

New This Week BOOGEYMAN – (PG13) – Suspense/Horror – If you’ve ever wondered whatever happened to Xena, the Warrior Princess, wonder no more!

Lucy Lawless is back, but this time she’s playing the mom of a guy (Barry Watson) who has serious issues about some stuff that went down in his bedroom when he was younger. So the guy goes back home to deal with this supposed “monstrous entity” that could be real or all in his head. Although, I don’t know why he doesn’t just act like all the other guys and take it out on his next girlfriend. Hey, I’m just saying.

THE WEDDING DATE – (PG13) – Romantic Comedy – This film concerns a young woman who hires a gigolo to accompany her to her sister’s nuptials. See, her ex-boyfriend is going to be there, and she needs to make him jealous so, um, I don’t know. Really, what the hell am I doing writing about this? There are people dying in Sudan, and I’m boosting some junk film that stars no one anyone should be concerned about.

Now Showing ALONE IN THE DARK – (R) – Action/Adventure, Suspense/Horror and Thriller – A detective of the paranormal, hot on the trail of the mysterious death of a friend, discovers that evil demons worshiped by the ancient Abskani culture are planning on coming back to life in the 21st century to once again take over the world.

Aw, sounds like a bad case of food poisoning to me. Just sleep it off, buddy. You’ll be all right.

ARE WE THERE YET? – (PG) – Romantic Comedy – Ice Cube stars in this light-hearted look at how a swinging bachelor takes his girlfriend’s kids on a road trip to impress her, but finds that they really only want to turn his life into a living hell. How do they come up with this stuff?

ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 – (R) – Action/Adventure/Crime/Gangster – This is a remake of John Carpenter’s second film, and hits all the usual shoot-‘em-up notes: deranged gang bent on springing an incarcerated mobster lays siege to an undermanned police station. Ethan Hawke plays the cop in charge who ends up arming Lawrence Fishburne and the other jailbirds to defend the station.

THE AVIATOR – (PG13) – Drama – This is Martin Scorsese’s 168-minute epic on Howard Hughes that includes only a brief interlude of the billionaire’s most intriguing years when he became renowned for living in secret while wearing tissue boxes on his feet and growing out his hair and fingernails to absurd lengths, all while keeping jars of his own urine close by. Stars Leonardo di Caprio as the nutty flyer/film maker and No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani as Jean Harlow. Fabulous!

COACH CARTER – (PG13) – Drama – Inspired by true-life story of controversial high-school basketball coach Ken Carter, who received both high praise and staunch criticism when he made national news in 1999 for benching his entire undefeated basketball team for poor academic performance. Starring Samuel Jackson, Rob Brown, Ashanti Baby! Baby! Baby ! Baby!

COVER STORY

SURF

Eye scared Affleck’s Daredevil two years ago. Anyhoo, though she died in that flick, she was reborn for this one so she could kill some dude and his little girl for the superassassin group Order of the Hand. Sweeeet. Also stars Goran Visnjic and Terence Stamp.

FINDING NEVERLAND – (PG13) – Drama – Johnny Depp plays J. M. Barrie, the guy who wrote Peter Pan in this London, 1904 story. You remember Peter Pan, right? Sandy Duncan played him on Broadway. Also stars Kate Winslet and Dustin Hoffman.

HIDE AND SEEK – (R) – Thriller – Not to be confused with the 1999 film of the same name starring Daryl Hannah and Vincent Gallo, or the 1980 flick about Israel or even the 1977 War Games clone, this is a Robert DeNiro horror film about how his young daughter’s imaginary friend is actually real.

HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS – (PG13) – Action/Adventure, Foreign – This movie takes place near the end of China’s Tang Dynasty, which was, well, a while ago. Anyway, two cops arrest this hot dancer who has underworld ties, then decide that she’s too hot to bring downtown so they escape with her on some kind of perilous journey. Cool.

IN GOOD COMPANY – (PG13) – Comedy, Drama – Poor sap Dan Foreman (Dennis Quaid) ends up demoted from head of ad sales and has to work for a new boss, Carter Duryea (Topher Grace), who is not only half his age, but also decides to date Foreman’s hottie 18-year-old daughter Alex (Scarlett Johansson). Those naughty up-and-comers!

LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU – (R) – Comedy – A decidedly quirky Wes Anderson flick about an internationally famous oceanographer (Bill Murray), who along with his possibly long lost son (Owen Wilson), takes his wingnut crew (headed by a brilliantly wussy Willem Dafoe) on an expedition to hunt down the elusive Jaguar Shark that killed his partner. Also along for the ride is a beautiful pregnant journalist (Cate Blanchett), the oceanographer’s estranged wife and sugar mama (Anjelica Huston) and some other such obstacles, like pirates, bankruptcy, kidnapping, insurance concerns, speedos and Jeff Goldblum.

So it’s a 228-year-old mystery, right? Well, that doesn’t sound like such a big deal.

OCEAN’S TWELVE – (PG13) – Action/Adventure, Romance, Thriller, Crime – This is the heist caper that out-heists the previous heist caper Ocean’s Eleven, which in itself was a remake of the horrendously awful Rat Pack-starring Ocean’s 11. This time around, the band of cons and thieves gets together again to rip off someone really rich in Europe to pay off the Vegas casino guy they ripped off in the first movie. Stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and all the rest.

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA – (PG13) – Drama, Musical, Suspense – It’s the classic tale—and another cinematic take on a Broadway musical, oh joy—about a mysterious masked figure who roams the undergrounds of 19th century Paris, especially lurking around (or under—naughty!) the Opera Populaire, where he tutors a beautiful young soprano.

RACING STRIPES – (PG13) – Comedy, Drama, Kids/Family – A traveling circus accidentally leaves behind a baby zebra—I know, it happens all the time— so then the precocious zebra gets the inclination to become a racetrack-star, with a little help from his farm animal friends... Okay, is it just me or does it sound like somebody had a few too many special brownies when they came up with this screenplay?

SIDEWAYS – (R) – Comedy and Drama – This could be your typical road-tripping buddy flick, only the “buddies” in question are Miles (Paul Giamatti)—a downand-out failed novelist, middle school teacher and bitter divorcee but apt wine connoisseur—and his happygo-lucky friend Jack (Thomas Hayden Church), who has his own devious agenda for their big “wine tasting trip” before he gets married the following weekend.

Also stars Virginia Madsen and Sandra Oh. WHITE NOISE - (PG13) - Thriller - Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton) is a man whose peaceful existence is shattered by the unexplained death of his wife Anna, and who is eventually contacted by a man claiming to be receiving messages from Anna through “household recording devices.” What the hell are “household recording devices?!”

MEET THE FOCKERS – (PG13) – Comedy – Four years ago, Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) met his fiance’s (Teri Polo) parents, including ex-CIA man Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) and his wife (Blythe Danner). This time, we meet The Fockers—a liberal stay-at-home dad (Dustin Hoffman) and his senior citizens’ sex therapist wife (Barbara Streisand). Usually, I’m skeptical about all-star casts but Bobby De Niro, Tootsie and Babs? C’mon!

MILLION DOLLAR BABY – (PG 13) – Romantic Drama – This Oscar-nominated film is getting rave reviews, but it’s really just another cliché-filled picture about a young boxer who’s had a tough life but, through sheer force of will, fights the good fight. Stars Hillary Swank, Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood, who also directed it.

NATIONAL TREASURE – (PG) – Action/Adventure – Nicholas Cage and Diane Kruger star in this quest to find some incredible treasure hidden by our nation’s founding fathers, who were nice enough to plant clues on the back of $1 bills. Sean Bean, as usual, plays a “ruthless adversary” in their search to unlock the secret to what the movie calls a 2,000-year-old mystery. Sounds great—wait, 2,000?

In Memory of

Stevie "Guitar" Sparks 1950-2005

In 1998, Steve approached me about writing for Maui Time, less than a year after the paper began. As a fledgling editor of an upstart publication, there were plenty of people who were skeptical of the paper's intentions and the two misfits behind the wheel. Sparks believed in us, and was genuinely interested in using his time, skills as a music journalist and most importantly his almost 30 years of connections here on Maui to work underpaid, overworked hours without a complaint. Whether he was covering Austin, Texas' South By Southwest Festival (three years), or back home in Hana covering the East Maui Taro Festival, Sparks brought a level of professional journalism and credibility to Maui Time.

Steve and I worked together for almost four years, not just as Editor-to-Journalist, but more importantly as musician to musician with a common goal of giving some much needed attention to the creative individuals and ideals we believed were important.

What seemed like a small gesture at the time blossomed into another cornerstone of the paper's growth and development, both here on Maui and abroad.

Sparks conveyed an understanding of Hawaiian music, its subtle beauty, character and connection to spirit. As a drummer freshly arrived to Maui and attempting to create a quality publication, I didn't make an immediate connection with Hawaiian music. But Steve played an integral part in my appreciation for this art form.

His musical humility impressed me immediately, always giving back to the influences and artists that contributed to the evolution of Hawaiian music: the double-entendre lyrics penned by Queen Liliuokalani, Dennis Pavao's skillful five-octave vocal stretches, the importance of Gabby Pahinui and his slack key guitar work or the reverence for Charles Kau'pu as a chanter and so much more.

The importance of giving back to the community and the responsibility and opportunity with editing and publishing your own paper were valuable lessons from Steve. Together with a handful of other Maui journalists, we were able to create a vehicle to pay our respects to the land and culture that surrounds us. The importance of this should not be overlooked.

We often forget to appreciate those around us, and kind words often come wrapped in the pages of an obituary, but Steve deserves recognition for the contributions he made to this place that he loved so much.

In death, as in life, Stevie continues to support the ideas he loved; An advocate for Hawaiian indigenous rights, Sparks requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to support the Kingdom of Hawaii at P.O. Box 2845, Wailuku, HI 96793 or online at www.freehawaii.org.

Victoria Barrett

PHOTO: ALEXIS PLUME

She was born to play music, not the victim Watching Victoria Barrett on stage, it’s clear that she was born to make music.

She sings and plays her guitar with the ease of old coffee house folk rockers, introducing each song with a little story.

Music seems to live in every cell of her body. Ironically, just three years ago, she’d convinced herself to keep all musical dreams locked in her bedroom.

The reason? “I bowed a vocal chord,” she says. “I now go to speech-level vocal coach Joy Fields. Her work has really made me realize that the vocal chords are a repairable muscle just like any other muscle in our body.”

Fields must be doing something right, because Writing Straight With Crooked Lines—Barrett’s debut album, is beautiful.

Released on her own Humdrum Records, the album was recorded on Maui with coproducer Will the Moore. Its 10 songs include guest spots from local death-metal crew Khrinj.

“Coming from a heavy metal background, you know they have to be awesome to do music completely the opposite style,” she says. “I am a lucky lady to have had that experience with them.”

With a focus on affairs of the heart, among its standouts are the mesmeric “Blues To Rose” and the chilly “Marionette.” There is also “Nimbus”—a word for the light around a saint’s head, and alternately “a uniformly grey rain cloud,” the definitions both of which suit Barrett’s lyrical images of the lover on the pedestal and the lover falling off it.

Barrett began singing when she was a little girl.

“As a kid, I sang lots of my own songs all of the time,” she says. “I also used to lock myself in my room and record a radio show on my cassette player. I did interviews and commercials, and all sorts of different programs. I made up a lot of songs then.”

At seven she joined the San Francisco Girls Chorus—an extracurricular school for young women that teaches music theory and the general disciplines of classical music.

“I was a very insecure young lady,” she says of her time there. “I didn’t feel like I belonged. I remember being more recognized for being nice than for having a good voice. I remember one of my first chorus directors telling me how fragile I was. She was afraid I would break. That stuck in my head. I had convinced myself that I was

not important. That it didn’t matter if my voice was heard.”

Still, she stayed with the chorus until she was 16. Even with all the insecurities she felt, she says it was the best thing her mother ever made her do.

“If you have never sung with 50-plus other people at the same time, it is amazing,” she says. “To have that much focus and emotion and volume and harmony all synchronized into one beautiful second where nothing else exists except that note… My God, what an amazing experience.”

While a student at Seattle University in the mid-1990s, Barrett was singing simultaneously in a chamber group, choir and musical review. She got sick, but continued to sing in shows, which is when the bowing occurred.

“That basically means that one vocal chord was bent and would not hit the other vocal chord properly, which leads to more damage of the chords,” she says. “I was told not to sing, nor talk. For me singing and talking were the only ways I could express my emotions. I

remember going to music rehearsals and I was told to just stand there and mouth the words, even for the concerts. Mouthing without being able to make a sound felt like crying with no tears or screaming with no sound.”

Barrett figured that her vocal chord was ruined, ending any chance to become a singer.

She continued to develop her songwriting and guitar skills, but it felt more like a hobby than a calling.

For three years after her 1998 graduation, Barrett shunned singing. “I was continuing to play the victim,” she says. “Then I realized the bullshit I was creating. With a lot of support from friends, my partner and my family, I was encouraged to sing more. Musicians were interested in collaborating with me. I guess that was when I decided to get over the chord.

“Many, many times I thought I was kidding myself,” she adds. “And I still do from time to time. But when you love music you really don’t have a choice. The music chooses for you and you have to have it in your life in some way or another.” MTW

NEWS

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Quit playing hard to get. That’s right. Let your wooers and pursuers catch you this week. How long did you think the game could continue, anyway? Eventually, your stalkers and courters were bound to lose interest, unless you gave them something. Now’s a good time to do just that. Because if you’re honest with yourself, you’d be sad if no one was the least bit interested in you. Then you’d have to either go the hermit route, or become a hunter yourself— neither of which is all that appealing for a Pisces, if you think about it. Besides, you’ll get far more out of it by graciously yielding now than by stingily holding back. Quit fleeing, on whatever level. Get caught. You’ll be glad you did.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

If you feel that you have been potentially exposed to HIV and would like Free, Confidential and Anonymous testing call the Maui AIDS Foundation at 242-4900.

It is important to know your HIV status so that you do not unknowingly pass the virus to others, also early detection is vital to your health and treatment.

The Maui AIDS Foundation now offers Drop-In HIV Counseling and Testing (No appointment necessary) Drop in hours are Mon.-Fri. 8:30am to 4:30pm, Wed. 8:30am to 7pm 1935 Main Street, Wailuku For more information on HIV/AIDS, STD’s including Viral Hepatitis and HIV Counseling and Testing call the Maui AIDS Foundation at 242-4900.

In Hana call 248-7801, Lanai 5656722, and Molokai 553-9086.

I wish at least one of us understood what was happening to you, or why. It’s confusing as hell, and probably pretty scary on top of that. I’m sorry, darling, but you probably won’t get to the bottom of it this week, either. I wish I could help you; the unknown is one of the most frightening things there is. But I’m, at least at the moment, as clueless as you are. I do, however, have some good news: Even if you can’t figure out what exactly is happening, or why, you can come lots closer to being able to deal with it; i.e., learning when resistance is useful, and when to simply surrender to the situation and save your hope and energy for when it might do more good.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Strength alone won’t suffice. It doesn’t matter how much you can physically bench press or emotionally endure. At some point in your life, you’ll find things that are just too mammoth to lift, or to painful to be borne.

Being so strong in so many ways, at that point, becomes a handicap, because you haven’t learned to rely as much on your flexibility, friendships, wits, tact, manipulation and various other sources of power. This week, limber up.

During each and every situation you encounter, practice utilizing anything but brute muscle (emotional, political, or physical) to get through it.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Cut a Gemini off from her cellphone and Internet connection and she practically goes into shock. Even if you’re one of those people who publicly professes to never answering your phone, you must confess that when you’re without it you feel kind of lost. You’re communication-dependent—which isn’t really a critique. At least it means you’re constantly engaged with the world around you, which is more than I can say for some other signs. But this week, when your regular avenues of communication break down, try not to collapse in helpless exasperation.

There are ways and ways. Find one that you’re not used to using, preferably one you’ve never tried before.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) You’re pretty good about friendship-maintenance. But there’s no denying the smoking evidence I see over your shoulder: a few wrecked, blackened, burnt bridges from your past. There’s still hope for them, though; this week’s Aquarius New Moon offers a chance for you to repair some of those damaged relationships. People might be willing to consider wiping the slate clean, then begin afresh. Try it. Sling rope bridges across the gaps; you can build them up later, once contact’s been established. Remember, though, this is just the first step. Reconstruction will take patience and determination. Motivation is plentiful the next two weeks, thanks to astrological influences; patience is something you and your friends will have to come up with on your own.

A public health message provided by The Maui AIDS Foundation.

Maui Lawn Works

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) You hate criticism. The truer your detractor’s words, the more you resent and despise him. However, your evolutionary progress would be quite a bit slower if you were left to your own devices; while it’s true that you’re your own worst critic, you’re simply not your own best goad. Other people’s denigration has a way of kicking you into gear that your own self-disparagement cannot. You could use a jump-start, darling. So when someone talks shit about you this week, take a minute to figure out whether it applies. If it doesn’t, of course tell them to fuck off.

But if it does, say only, “Thank you,” and get to work.

“we do all the work . . . so you can enjoy your yard”

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Hopefully this week will mark the end—at least for a long time—of your recently-frequent bouts with selfdoubt. You’ve just tapped into a deeply-buried chunk of resources you didn’t know you had. It’s like stumbling upon an oil well in your backyard. You’re a rich hillbilly now, and it’s time to simply enjoy and revel in the flow of mental treasure, not worry about its proper usage. You know what you’re doing; you always have. What worried you before was whether you’d be able to carry it off—now you know you can, so just do it.

Be careful. The boat you’re in is barely afloat. Water laps hungrily at the edges of the hull, and occasionally gleefully spills over. With each new invasion of wet, your vessel sinks a millimeter deeper, thereby making further flooding almost inevitable. My message is this: you simply can’t take new things (or people) on board right now.

You’ll sink. This isn’t the time to consider what needs to be added to your life. That’s just got to wait. For now, keep things simple: concentrate on bailing the boat, getting to where you’re going, and caring for the people you’ve already got on board.

SINGING TELEGRAMS

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) It’s the third date. The guy or gal you’re hanging with is fantastic: hot, good in bed, funny, into you. Then they start picking their nose at the table of the fancy restaurant you’re in, and flicking it, mid-conversation, as if there’s nothing the least bit disgusting or inappropriate about it. Sadly, this is the kind of disappointing shock you’re in for this week. Don’t blow it out of proportion, though. Yeah, your dream date has tumbled ignominiously from the ideal you’d envisioned. But are you really going to let a stray booger or two keep you from being, otherwise, happy?

PLACING AN AD IS EASY!

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) You wanted to have your cake and eat it, too. You thought a few well-sown lies would save your ass while you left all your options open. You’ve even gotten away with this kind of thing before. But not this time. This time it’s all going to be blown open, and both sides of the equation are going to piss off and never be heard from again.

Instead of having wife and mistress, for example, you’ll have neither. Pony up, baby. Make a choice: Cake in the mouth, or in the hand? Otherwise you’ll be wearing it.

CALL 661-3786 EXT: 5#

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) What’s up with you lately? It’s as if all your self-destructive instincts have just completely abandoned you. You haven’t felt like smoking, sleeping with the wrong people, or even over-eating. Don’t question it too much, though; at first, it may seem like your zest for life is on hiatus. But it’s actually your subconscious death-wish that’s on vacation. Take the opportunity to do some constructive research: find things that are just as fun as those you unconsciously abandoned, but not nearly so unhealthy. So when the cravings heralding your worst habits return, you can simply ignore them.

Maui Recycling Service If not now, when?

CURBSIDE RECYCLING!

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) You were less likely to do stupid things as a kid—like set things on fire just to see how they burn—than most of your peers. Leave the jumping off of roofs to Aries and the daredevil bike-riding to those show-off Sagittarians, you thought. Which is all well and good; you certainly saved yourself some broken bones. But the part you didn’t take into account (or perhaps you did, but just forgot about it) is that Capricorns age backwards. That means you start off life making all the right choices and gradually get more crazy, innocent and risky as you get older. Expect to make a hilarious and somewhat stupid choice this week, one that heralds your imminent and glorious youth.

HOLOHOLOGIRL

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

Free to Be Me For all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: It might have been.

- John Greenleaf Whittier The blessing and curse of living on Maui is that you inevitably know everyone who lives here. And so it becomes frequently more and more painful when people leave. Or when there are accidents on the pali. Or when your friends die.

Miah was someone I looked forward to seeing out and about. He always made me feel comfortable and welcome. He made me laugh and I had fun when he was around. I miss him. I can’t believe he won’t be spinning his favorite records at the SandBar or toasting Jager shots with me at Erik’s and Idini’s. Now that he’s gone, I am so sad. His friends are sad. This past week, Maui has been a gloomy place.

Telling myself I would leave my sorrow—and love—with Jen on Maui, I flew to San Francisco for another alternative newsweekly conference. There would be two days of seminars and workshops on various aspects of journalism but honestly, I was just happy to get off the rock and surround myself with urban strangers.

The nights of my three-day trip sped by quickly with such activities as: not flirting with bartenders I thought were gay but then were not, hitting bars and taquerias in the Mission with new Oregon pals Sara and Lacey, doing too many shots and holding up my new sassy San Francisco sistah Brenna at some reggae show that happened I have no idea where, having brunch at a French restaurant that shows art films on the wall, shopping in the homogenous yuppie-ville of Union Street with my luscious city ladies Sara and Alicia, and having proper English tea and scones in Noe Valley with my high school friend Alex.

But I also had a mission to complete. Before I left Maui, a friend had given me $10 to find him a “cool shirt.” My seemingly simple task turned out to be not so simple, as I searched high and low on my one free day in the city. After no success in the thrift shops on Haight Street, I ended up in the Castro district, wondering if t-shirts bearing “I Love My Penis” or “Free to Be Me” in rainbow colors would suffice. I figured it might piss off his girlfriend, so I moved on.

That night I took a different tactic, frequenting a few bars that friends said sold t-shirts. I went to the Lucky 13, Amber and Café du Nord on Market Street. Every bar had Makers Mark whiskey so I made friends and flirted ubiquitously but was failing miserably at finding appropriate cotton couture for my buddy back home.

I walked several blocks to another bar with no sign over the door called the Hush Hush. I can’t tell you how I knew it was a bar before I opened the mysteriously undistinguishable door but perhaps because of my profession, I have developed an internal bar-homing device. Wow. My mom would be so proud…

As it was nearing last call on my final evening in the city, I walked a few more blocks to Zeitgeist—a notorious biker bar with cheap beer, surly tattooed regulars and well, t-shirts.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get the shirt but in the less than 15 minutes I was there, I got so much more.

I met an overweight, mohawked punk rocker who said he was shacking up with his girlfriend and her new boyfriend and wanted my digits, and I befriended badass biker Betty, the “big ole bull dyke” who thought I was cute and wanted to take me home. Beautiful.

Oh man, there’s a lot more about San Francisco that I could have written, but won’t. MTW
