LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR WANTS FREE SPEECH AND SUPER FERRY Public testimony is and never will be a bad thing (“So-Called Environmentalists,” Mar. 3). The question remains, however: is [there a] need for inter-island ferry transportation? The state of Hawaii is last in the nation when it comes to the need of its citizens and visitors alike to travel free and inexpensively within the state. The desire to travel on a moment’s notice, including one’s car if so desired, surfboard and kayak gear or just to island hop for that matter is impeded drastically like nowhere else in the U.S. We may not move to and fro within the state’s island chain without the scrutiny of monopolized airline travel, the costs sanctioned by the federal government doing away with competitiveness between Aloha and Hawaiian, with the prohibitive length of time to check in and de-board due to a new and more secure world.

Why can’t we live in a state that provides this simple convenience like everywhere else? How about the impact of ourselves who live here, let alone the tourist industry on Hawaii? I gather the islands were most beautiful before any human set food on them. And now the fear that alien species will be hiding under the car chassis, invading the next island as a reason to do away with one of the better ideas for Hawaii’s people? If anything they are already here.

Take a good look around, from the pineapple sprayed with poison (not native nor organic), the sugarcane turned to dioxin when burned with its PVC piping (not native nor healthy) to our ice epidemic.

Where is the Environmental Impact Statement on that total disaster, brah?

-Thomas Holzer, Kula

OBVIOUSLY DOESN’T DRIVE MUCH You missed the mark with the road rage bit (“Eh Brah!: Your tales of Maui’s roads,” Feb. 24). The only people who could have

road rage on Maui are the unconscious, the over-drugged, or the over-dosed on Starbuck’s.

Slow down and look around you.

I have a commute from Haiku to Wailea three to four days a week, and when I’ve been off for a while, I miss that beautiful drive.

Depending on the time I leave, I might be uplifted by a sunrise, wowed by a sunset or bowled over as the moon rises, dancing with the clouds as I return home to Haiku. I usually prefer the company of my own thoughts, but sometimes like to tune in to local radio, or play some beautiful music. I enjoy my fellow travelers, and always see smiles abounding. Every once in a while we’ll have some wacky astrology, and you can feel it on the road. But we’re all in it together, and an uplifting thought can spread a long way.

I enjoy your paper, and appreciate it when you cream the politicians that lie or the greed hounds. And you’ve had some great humor with your grinds reviews. But I’ve got to say, I think you’re causing your own road angst. This article is right up there with the negativity of the Maui Weekly, and brah, you know we don’t need any more of that. Take a deep breath of Maui before your next drive, and maybe skip the Starbuck’s.

What is happening? First my purse was stolen from the beach. Then, 10 days later, my yearlong savings of nearly every piece of silver change (about $500) was stolen from my car. My car didn’t look ransacked at all, but the 25 lb. bag of change was gone. I know I should have locked the door. I know I should have brought it to the bank immediately. But what person felt good about carrying it away? I’m sure I never hurt him or her. He or she certainly didn’t earn the money. We should be coming together in unity and supporting each other with life-affirming choices, not breaking into people’s cars and stealing 25-lb. bags of change.

End of an Era?

Why do we still have gillnets?

A tangle of lines and netting trailed across the body and fluke of the humpback whale. In places, it had cut and rubbed its flesh raw.

On Feb. 28, volunteers worked several hours to strip away 50 pounds of marine debris from a humpback whale two miles off Lahaina.

“It was a mess of ropes, cargo nets and gillnets that extended 25 feet behind its pectoral fin,” said David Mattila, the science and rescue coordinator for the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Sanctuary.

Mattila says there have been about a half a dozen credible reports of whales getting entangled this season alone: two around Maui, one around Kauai, one around Hawaii and two reported around Oahu. “There are many more marine

Food Cops The following tale is taken straight from official complaints and inspection reports on file with the State of Hawaii Department of Health Food Safety office.

Establishment Outback Steakhouse

Location 281 Pi’ikea Ave., Kihei

Date May 6, 2004

Time 6:30 p.m.

For most patrons of the Outback Steakhouse the aromas rising from their plate are nothing but appetizing. But one man on May 6, 2004 said his filet mignon smelled like “a pig pen.”

Mr. Barry Cales, the general manager of the Outback Steakhouse, was made aware of the complaint and helped appease the man. The steak apparently was just fine—it simply had, according to the report, “a strong smell but was not spoiled or rotten.” No one else complained that night and the other guests apparently left the restaurant happy and full—not smelly or sick. An inspection of the refrigeration system showed no violations and the meat was handled in a very sanitary manner. The report showed that cooks pulled the meat from the fridge on order. It seems some people just can’t handle the sweet smell of animal steak that’s been slaughtered, grilled and seasoned to perfection.

Volunteers worked for seven hours to strip away marine debris from a humpback mammals that we don’t see that unfortunately get caught up in this marine debris,” he added.

A significant portion of the debris caught on the whale on Feb. 28 was nylon monofilament net or “gillnets.” These nets are lightweight and inexpensive.

But when abandoned or lost they become “ghost nets”—dangerous derelicts that damage coral reefs and float freely at sea, capturing and killing Hawaiian monk seals, sea turtles, dolphins and whales. Marine experts say gillnet use is having a detrimental impact on Hawaii’s marine ecosystem.

There are two main types of gillnetting: drift and lay. Only the former are illegal in Hawaiian waters. Ranging from 250 to 300 feet long, lay nets are set vertically in the near shore with the help of floats and weights. The results can be devastating.

“Lay nets are indiscriminate killers,” said Veterinarian Diane Shepard, “They snare everything that swims into them, depleting both the targeted and non-targeted species.

They wipe out fish of all sizes and ages.”

Fisheries ecologist Dr. Alan Friedlander of the Oceanic Institute agrees. “Lay nets disrupt the natural rhythms and processes of the marine ecosystem,” he said. “The nets catch the keiki fish, wiping them out before they have a chance to reach reproductive size causing a decline in the fish population. Lay net fishing is not a sustainable fishing practice.”

There are no permits required for subsistence and recreational fishing in Hawaii and regulation and enforcement is downright difficult. The state Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) currently mandates that recreational gillnet users can only lay their nets in the water for four hours and they must visually check the net after two

hours to release any untargeted fish or turtles.

“With only 10 field officers in Maui County, it’s almost impossible to regulate their use,” said enforcement officer Randy Awo. “We desperately need more enforcement officers. With the increase of Maui’s population, there are more recreational fishers. We don’t have the manpower to regulate all the fishers.”

Russell Sparks, a marine education specialist for the state Division of Aquatic Resources, believes the indiscriminant killing caused by gillnet fishing is damaging our ocean ecosystem. He also feels that increased fishing pressure will harm near-shore fisheries. But he stops short of advocating a statewide ban.

“Unfortunately, there are some people who don’t comply with the rules and take advantage of the lack of enforcement,” he said. “A blanket ban would punish the ones who do follow the rules and that would not be fair.”

Others want stronger action. The Hawaii Veterinary Medical Association is asking for a gillnet ban as well as a statesponsored buy-back program.

Dr. Barry Raleigh, a professor with the University of Hawaii’s School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, also wants a gillnet ban.

“With no way to enforce the current weak regulations, there should be a total ban on gillnets,” he said.

For those who watched the untangling of the humpback off Lahaina, this has beecome quite clear. MTW

Great sadness permeated the March 3 Liquor Control Adjudication Board hearing. It wasn’t a pending license cancellation or a troubled bar owner that caused the sorrow, but the imminent retirement of Board Member Ron McOmber.

No one will miss McOmber more than me. By far the most colorful and interesting person in the entire Liquor Control Department, McOmber’s big mouth and tough questioning always provided good copy. After all, we did name McOmber “Best LC Official” in our 2004 Best of Maui issue. In fact, even McOmber came to realize that this space often hinged on his actions.

Handing the previous week’s issue of Maui Time to a fellow board member shortly before the March 3 meeting, McOmber loudly observed, “Have you seen this? It’s amazing. My name isn’t in it. Shocking.”

Longtime Lanai resident and activist McOmber first joined the Adjudication Board in May, 2000. In that five-year period, McOmber missed just one meeting.

During his last hearing, McOmber admitted to his colleagues that back in 2000 his first choice had been a seat on the Lanai Planning Commission. But he said he agreed to join when Department Director Franklyn Silva convinced him that LC officers would “tell the truth when they’re under oath.”

Reading a resolution into the record, Board Chairman Shigeto “Mustard” Murayama referred to McOmber’s “unselfish and responsible services” and his “thoughtful conduct and manner.”

“I have a question on the ‘conduct,’” Board Member M.D. Alborano joked.

“It’s a hard job,” McOmber later said. “It’s hard to cite people, fine people, take their licenses away… I know I’m mouthy, but I can’t help it.”

Of course, there is an outside chance that the LC days of Ron McOmber aren’t quite over.

County Council Chairman G. Riki Hokama has held up fellow Lanai resident Victor Fink’s nomination to the Liquor Commission, saying he’s never heard of him and wants more information.

Should the Council end up rejecting Fink, McOmber will take his place.

We can only hope. MTW

AP article. The reason this matters to our little island is that Tsutsumi is a major investor in Kokudo Corp., which is the parent owner of the Seibu Railway Corp. Seibu, in turn, owns the resort chain Prince Hotel, Inc., one of its subsidiaries being Prince Resorts Hawaii.

Now that company owns hotels all over the state, but for our purposes, the only important one is Makena Resort, which is still planning on converting 600 precious Makena acres into golf courses and condos. Now local Makena Resort people are going to great lengths to say that Tsutsumi’s alleged crimes have nothing whatsoever to do with anything on our fair island. And they’re probably right, though it is intriguing to think about certain similarities.

Tsutsumi is a land developer. Makena Resort is a land developer. Tsutsumi is very politically connected. Makena Resort is very politically connected. Sure, Makena Resort didn’t go and falsify corporate financial statements to mask the company’s true ownership, like Tsutsumi allegedly did, but really, who among us hasn’t been tempted to conceal something from securities officials now and then?

Yet the CBO says Bush’s budget will result in $2.48 trillion in deficits over the next decade. Something’s gotta be wrong— didn’t those same analysts four years ago project budget surpluses through the next decade? And

Well?

MONDAY, MAR. 7 And now I’d like to introduce all of you to Teal Thompson. She’s a public relations executive for Honolulu-based Mana Means Advertising and Public Relations. She is very, very good at her job. Since Feb. 25, she’s been trying to make sure that I got this news release she’s been tasked to send out. She even stooped to writing that she would appreciate “any publicity or coverage” we could give her client. I’d tell you how many she sent, but I deleted them all. You see, I get so many emails and press releases each day it’s ridiculous.

Usually I just skim over them to see if they’re Maui-related and not pro-corporate. If not—the case most of the time, by the way—I tap the DELETE key. Obviously that’s what happened here. But Thompson anticipated this and began leaving voicemail messages for me at the office.

She called once, maybe twice, perhaps even more—I erase so many voicemail messages it’s impossible to say for certain. She left me another message today asking if I’d gotten her previous emails and to please call her back to confirm that I’d gotten them.The important thing is that Thompson works hard for Mana Means Advertising’s clients.

EDIBLE TABLES!

CAN’T POSSIBLY BE TRUE

Homaro Cantu (described by one customer as Chicago’s “mad-scientist” gourmet chef) creates his signature dishes with the help of cutting-edge technology, such as fishless sushi made with edible, fish-flavored paper containing designs produced on an inkjet printer. Among the projects planned for his Moto restaurant: baking with a “class IV” laser (the kind used in welding and surgery) that will cook the center but not the outside; using helium and superconductors to make food levitate; and developing edible utensils, tables and chairs. Said Cantu, to a New York Times reporter in February, “Gastronomy has to catch up to the evolution in technology.”

Harvey Kash, 69, and Carl Lanzisera, 65, were arrested while standing in line at the courthouse in Hempstead, N.Y., in January, only because, said court officials, they were telling anti-lawyer jokes to the irritation of a lawyer within earshot. Charges against Lanzisera were dropped, but prosecutors actually referred Kash’s case to a grand jury, which, three weeks later, refused to indict him. (Said Kash’s attorney, “Crime must be at a record low in Nassau County for the grand jury to have time for this.”)

IN THEIR OWN WORDS “This is so embarrassing. We had never done that before, and now she’s in the hospital, and my cat’s dead,” said a New York City man in January, after he and a neighbor decided to have sex but then accidentally ignited a comforter with a candle, starting a major fire in his apartment. And, said Elaine Edwards of Mink, La., one of the last remaining places in the country to be without telephone service, until lines were installed in January: “It wasn’t 15 minutes after that phone was in before a telemarketer called me.”

HOT PANTS In late 2004, officials of the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris said they were forced to cordon off the statue of 19th-century journalist Victor Noir (who was reputed to be quite a ladies’ man) because too many visitors were rubbing Noir’s clothed crotch for good luck.

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Roy Allen Boothe Jr., 18, was arrested after allegedly attempting to rob a Delta One Shop convenience store near York, Pa., in January.

When he threatened the two female clerks with a tire iron, the women started punching and kicking him, until he begged for them to stop.

After a few minutes (but with police on the way), he managed to wiggle away and run (though one clerk slugged him with his own tire iron on the way out).

PEOPLE JUST NOT PAYING ATTENTION In January, Daniel D. Salazar, 20, was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for attempting to rob a Bank of America in Kansas City, Mo.; he first came to the attention of police when he called a station house and offered to turn in his partners in the crime in exchange for the $5,000 reward. And in Hong Kong in October, Ho Heng-chau, 20, pleaded guilty to drug possession and was fined the equivalent of about US$500, on a day when he chose to show up in court wearing a T-shirt with “COCAINE” across the front.

The Jesus Skaters

They hang out at 180 BoardShop As I stood inside 180 BoardShop in Kahului, it took me a few moments to realize that the music playing over the store stereo was Christian contemporary. It didn’t surprise me, especially since much of the clothes sold in the shop sport brands like Borders for Christ, Apostle and Fallen. Even the baby T’s on the wall have logos proclaiming “Bible Thumper” and “Anti-Hell.”

“Yeah, it’s been a pretty awesome response,” said Chris Akahoshi, owner of the 180 BoardShop, standing beneath a large sign saying, “Remember, God is watching.”

Sometimes it seems that he uses the word “awesome” in almost every sentence.

“The tourists like it,” he said. “It’s pretty awesome being here. I grew up as a skater and I wasn’t saved until 10 years ago, when my best friend, another skater introduced me to the gospel.”

Christianity and skateboards go way back—take the Circa Shoe Co., for instance—but I had to ask him about his shop’s religious staff.

“We prefer the term ‘believers,’” he said. “We want to share our faith. You know, we are followers of Jesus and we have no problem with sharing that with the world.”

Akahoshi is short, with fashionable thick-framed glasses and chic shaggy hair.

Originally from California he opened the store with his wife about eight months ago.

“Me and my wife, you know, through prayer, tried to find out where the Lord wanted us to take the gospel, where he would lead us with the ministry,” he said. “I knew there was an awesome opportunity to share the Gospel through skateboarding.”

How is that going?

“We are holding our ground,” he said.

“You know, in the mainland it’s different, more materialistic, you always feel like you have to keep up with the other kids in school. People are more simple here…”

He broke off to ring up a girl buying a handbag.

“Do you know if very many other girls have gotten this same bag?” she asked.

Not far from her was Jesse, one of the 180 BoardShop salesclerks. He has a boy-

“He told me about the store he wanted to open,” Jesse said. “[He] showed me the plans and offered me a job helping him open it. We are different, you know, than the average shop on the block. We are believers. Over there, you’re just a customer and they are just a business. We take it to another level…”

What level?

“Well,” said Jesse, “a lot of kids—well adults, too—a lot of teens and adults couldn’t go to those other places and feel welcome because their needs aren’t really being met.

We are here for the community. We don’t want to just take the money and split. It’s more than a business for us.”

Akahoshi came over, tugging at the bottom of his shirttails, pulling the garment taut. It was a blue shirt with an opened hand with a hole in the palm

and the word “LOVE.” “Look, I am sharing my faith,” Akahoshi said. “I am sharing the gospel through this Tshirt. It becomes more than a shirt. The motivations are different.”

“I mean, you have to look at it this way,” said Jesse. “There is this huge market of people who feel like their needs aren’t being met by the mainstream companies. There is this whole world of people who feel unrepresented.”

“Half the stuff we carry we didn’t even know existed,” Akahoshi said, standing in front of a wall of Fallen skate shoe boxes.

“There are Christian clothing, bands, books,” Jesse said. “There is a danger there of making the gospel cool, or lightweight, and that’s not what we are trying to do here. We just want to make it accessible. You see a lot of fads, trends and in the past, you never have seen stuff like this marketed toward my age group. Most companies, except for the outwardly Christian ones wouldn’t really touch this stuff. It is weird sometimes, as a believer to see this stuff sold in stores.” MTW

Meet five independent artists in the underground Maui art world “EIGHT IS ENOUGH,” ACRYLIC ON DENIM, 5’ X 10’, ERICA DANIELLE FRANZ

Last fall I went Upcountry to an informal art exhibit at a friend’s house. She had removed her furniture, un-tacked the carpet and hung collections from other friends who created stuff. There were oil paintings, ink drawings, photos, screen-printed clothing and sculptures. They called it the Art Lounge.

It was an exhibit for artists who are rarely, if ever exhibited.

Sure, money helps, but for the most part these individuals want nothing more than to have their work looked at, appreciated and not judged. Here are five local artists you may have never heard of or seen but who are doing art for art’s sake.

Erica Danielle Franz, Painter We met in a dive bar at noon.

“I’ve been doing art since I was this big,” says Erica Danielle Franz, pointing to her cocktail glass. “Ever since I found that things made marks on things.

My parents have had to repaint lots of walls.”

It’s not hard to see how her creative sense developed. One of her mom’s friends was a muralist who painted her nursery before Franz was born. Three years later, she had a wall of giraffes emerging from hot air balloons.

“It was very psychedelic,” says Franz. “One of my earliest memories was looking at that.”

She’s taught children’s art in New York, but has never had any formal art training herself. Instead, she went to college to earn a statistics degree. It was there she learned that everyone was not created equal.

“I never realized I was different until stats,” she says, “because I was bad at math but I was good at visualizing or putting math into three dimensions. In fractals, I was fine and the other math kids weren’t.”

On Maui, Franz works on the sailing catamaran Gemini as a marine naturalist. She loves sharing the wonder of ecology with people. She says that when people see baby whales, they are humbled by it. As a naturalist, she says she enjoys encouraging people to think.

She imagines that in the future she’ll be an interior decorator, or maybe a tattooist—although she doesn’t like blood—but she doesn’t plan on growing up anytime soon. She’s thought about architecture or grad school, but right now, she’s just trying to figure out where art fits into her life and how she can do it, as she says, “without selling my soul.

COVER STORY

“Between boats and painting,” she says, “I want to do something like Jimmy Buffett and play guitar and drink margaritas.

Maybe write children’s books.”

Franz paints furniture, too, and says she works in all mediums, depending on where she’s living. In New York, she used watercolors but her favorite is oil, which is full of lead and cobalt and is more dangerous since she doesn’t wear gloves. Lately on Maui, she’s been using acrylics, which are not as toxic.

She likes using sail canvas, which is made from Dacron and doesn’t stretch. She generally does pieces that are four-by-six feet to larger, wall-sized murals. She recently acquired 150 pounds of wax paper from the old Puunene Bakery that she wants to incorporate into her paintings. Right now, she’s working on an old-style treasure map, complete with an “X,” monsters, pirates and erupting volcanoes.

Franz considers her work “pretty abstract.” She prefers painting animals and mythical creatures to real humans. She showed me a painting of her dog in pink and blue hues on one canvas. On another, there’s a myriad of interlocking purple horses, fluid and swirling.

“I prefer to be silly, not serious,” Franz says. “It’s just a piece of art.”

“FOOLISH LIGHT,” ACRYLIC & COLLAGE ON CANVAS, 4’ X 5’, PATRICK DUNNE

Patrick Dunne, Painter “Acrylics are good for procrastinators because it dries quickly,” says Patrick Dunne.

He has recently completed a series of industrial landscapes, inspired by the Paia Mill and currently featured in Paia’s LiveWire Café. In his creative world, there are two parallel universes: the psychedelic-based, mixed media pop art, and the paintings based in reality, like his latest mill scenes. Both styles collectively explain the artistry of Dunne. He cannot imagine doing one without the other.

He says he’s had really good mentors in his life. Artists in his family go back three or four generations and include textile designers and art directors. He remembers going to his mom’s work and drawing on checkbooks or whatever happened to be available. In high school, he had a teacher who encouraged him to apply to art schools. He then went to Sonoma State for three years.

“They had a good art program,” says Dunne. “And a good beer program.”

He had fun, got his general education requirements out of the way then transferred to Rhode Island. His artist grandmother foot the bill. He started seriously considering his career options.

“What would I do for free and then how would I get paid for it?” he asked himself.

“MYSTIQUE,” B&W DIGITAL PHOTO, ARICA BRIE SOBEL

He received a BFA in Illustration from Rhode Island and then went to Oregon to do computer graphics at a post-production house in Portland. He knew that commercial illustration meant drawing someone else’s vision. Painting was a necessary hobby to “draw” his own.

In L.A. he got into the print industry and had his first showing at a restaurant in Venice. He sold four paintings in one weekend.

After that, he exhibited once a year on average for the next five years. He sold 40 paintings in L.A. but soon realized his work was becoming darker and darker. One day while stuck in traffic, he decided to buy a one-way ticket to Maui.

It ended up being a risk-free move. His boss at the time said he could work in Maui for the L.A. office from his laptop. Dunne quit three months later anyway and began painting murals for the Old Lahaina House, just barely scraping by. Then he saw an ad for a position in graphic design at Naish Hawaii, a local surf company.

“It’s the best design job I’ve had so far,” he says. “I ended up scoring! Everyone’s really supportive.”

Dunne places tremendous importance on the influences of three artists: Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Diebenkorn and Edward Hopper. From these artists, he learned how to mix as many elements as possible for effect, to use brush strokes to create movement and expression and how to capture the mood and scenes of landscapes.

He hopes to keep going in the same direction and have enough money to buy more materials. He’s thinking about teaching, too, in graphic design and painting.

“But I want to ground myself in the community,” Dunne says.

“You know, before I begin corrupting young minds.”

Arica Brie Sobel, Photographer “What I like about taking photographs is it’s a puzzle,” says Arica Brie Sobel. “You have a person or entity and there’s lighting, environmental influences, maybe rain— it’s a mystery of technicality to create the picture of how it looks in my head.”

Sobel’s journalism background has helped her with that. Because the Art Photography curriculum at San Francisco State was full, she opted for photojournalism as her introduction to professional photography. It proved to be the right choice, as it was a comprehensive program that taught her how to tell a story through photos.

She had a teacher who also told her to make a “shot list” of the ideal photos she wanted to get but that she had to remain open and not have expectations. As a result, Sobel says her ideas and props are always changing, usually mid-shoot. Like the one time she was asked by a friend to do a simple portrait. She ended up with a series of the girl in front of a gas pump holding a sign saying “College or Bust.”

“I’ve always painted and designed furniture but never felt I was good at anything until I started taking photos,” says Sobel. “I knew there was something there. It’s made me feel good to have this amazing impact on other people. Sometimes [posing] helps them tackle low self-esteem. I would definitely be lost if I didn’t find photography.”

On Maui, Sobel does freelance commercial photography— basically weddings and portraits—as well as some fashion photography on the side. She also does graphics and screen print art, making transfers and clothing from her photos. Three weeks ago, she started working at an interior design company and is starting up a free surf magazine called Fluid.

“I’m inspired by everything,” says Sobel. “I can look at anything and find beauty. It goes back to the mystery [of taking photos]:

How would I take a picture of that tree over there and capture its beauty? Do I take a shot from above or just a part of it or the tree in its entirety?”

Sobel has trouble pinning down what she wants to do in 10 years. She wants to combine photography with “other things.”

She really wants to work for a magazine, doing pre-press, color correcting, joining art with text, layout—everything. She hopes to have a studio space “to do whatever.” And she’d love to do stock photography.

“I’d also love to take cameras to kids for them to take photos,” she says. “I do that now with the kids I baby sit. It gives them a tool for expression.”

Hans Schopen, Sculptor Looking like an underworld warrior in an early 1960s industrial sci-fi movie, the towering man lowers his solar-powered shade-filtering welding mask and leans forward. With huge, thick gloves, he holds a thin metal rod in his left hand. His right wields a long wand attached to a couple of tanks on the floor. A condensed flame sparks from the oxyacetylene wand that heats a piece of metal no bigger than a dime to an unfathomable 5,000 degrees. The charcoal-black surface reddens and bubbles.

“I’m all about metal,” says Hans Schopen, drummer for local hard rock band, Khrinj. But during the day, Schopen works in renovation and construction, as well as some freelance welding work. He does mostly small jobs, like making the sign logo and barbed windows for the Paia Bay Café.

“I’m into functional stuff that’s artistic,” he says. “Or take functional stuff and make it not functional. But I would rather it had some kind of use. Art is great if it’s actually doing something.

There’s enough crap in the world.”

He feels demand for his work is slowly increasing, by word of mouth. He does a lot of repair work for bikes and trucks, like creating some kind of hitch. He’s also made furniture, gates, fourposter bed frames and garden lights. Like many fledgling artists, Schopen has a lot of ideas and just needs money to back them.

Eventually, his goal is to incorporate wood with his metal designs—and to work for himself.

He took his first sculpture welding class in 1995 at Cabrillo College in Santa Cruz, California. When he came back to Maui, he got into conservation work for several years. He worked for the Maui Invasive Species Committee at Haleakala National Park, where they had a small workshop with tools. In his down time, Schopen would make things like a portable shelter, metal flowers and even a cool camping stove he later used to cook a ham and quiche with great success.

Now Schopen has his own equipment and shop. Along with his oxy-acetylene welder, he says he also has an arc welder, some grinders, saws and lots of “little tools and clamps and shit.

“There’s so much stuff you need,” he says. “There’s a plasma cutter and a wire feed welder—I could get a catalog and easily spend 20 grand. The stuff I have is kind of old school but everything else I use from now on will be easier.”

The most important aspect of welding, Schopen says, is safety.

But what he enjoys most about welding is the meditation.

“It’s such a tiny, little spot—this molten puddle of metal— and you have to get the penetration just right. It’s very focused and detailed work. Everything else is out of your head for that moment.”

“REACHING,” ACRYLIC & SPRAY PAINT, 4.5’ X 1’10”, MARTIN KENNEY

Martin Kenney, Graffiti Artist Martin Kenney has enough work to do. Five years ago, he started his own company called Mantis Artworks, which creates websites, logs and flyers. He frequently has to turn down jobs due to the high demand. But his main gig is as a senior graphic designer for a product design company called Acme Studio. They make pens. Or as they call them, “highquality writing instruments.”

His bio on their website says he mixes digital imaging, pen and ink, spray paint, photo montage, acrylic and colored pencils, all of which results in a style that incorporates “fragmented diagrams of biomechanic tribal alien graffiti.”

He says he works with some of the best artists of the world. But he wouldn’t mind downsizing professionally. He’d like to become more bohemian, taking time to paint, draw and make music—“not whoring out my skills.”

He never went to art school but has been drawing “forever.” He got into a graphics program in high school but then Photoshop changed his world.

After that, he successfully bullshitted his way into the University of Hawaii graphics department, convincing them that he knew what he was doing.

“I learned a lot on the job,” says Kenney. “They gave me stuff to do and I faked it.”

On Oahu, Kenney played harmonica in a band. He really wants to get back to that, playing garage-indie-blues music “kind of like The Gories.” He’s also interested in doing art that doesn’t fit into the popular Maui concept.

“I’m a total pack rat,” he says. “My house is recycle bin central.” He’s been collecting a stack of newspapers to do papier-maché, as well as saving 113 Marlboro packs for his latest piece that he’s been planning out on his computer. That one will also include a skull stencil and, Kenney hopes, “will inspire me to quit smoking.”

His first showing happened last fall in San Francisco, with the local traveling art project Wild Banana. He says he fell in love with the city and is inspired by its beauty and ugliness. He also enjoyed seeing his heroes in art galleries everywhere.

He’s inspired artistically by realism, minimalism, Basquiat, the colors of Josef Albers, Vaserelli and his niece.

“Kid drawings are the best,” says Kenney. “When I went to the County Fair, the best art was done by kindergartners.”

ACROSS FROM SEAWALL NEXT TO PARADISE BLUZ

As close to Jalisco as you can get without having to fly I came back from my recent travels through Puerta Vallarta and Mazatlan craving the delicious flavors of Mexico.

That’s why I was thrilled when my editor sent me to the Comercial Mexicana Store to try the wares of their little kitchen.

Commercial Mexicana Store 840 Waine’e St., #E9, Lahaina, 661-6193.

Food is served seven days a week, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. $ This unassuming shop tucked in next to Alexander’s in the Wainee Center in Lahaina is a little place where you can pick up your Mexican import essentials like fabric softener and dried chilies, then stop by the hot food counter and get delicious but still reasonably-priced Mexican dishes.

If you’ve traveled in Mexico, then you’re already aware that each region offers something a little different for the palate. Preparation and tastes will even vary from town to town. Lorena Gomez, who runs the Comercial store, is from the state of Jalisco in southwest Mexico.

She is proud to provide authentic Mexican cuisine, something most Americans don’t usually relate to (Taco Bell, anyone?). She says the true flavors of Mexico are not for everyone, but she is happy to share genuine Mexican homestyle cooking for anyone up for adventure.

You won’t find any Chalupas here, but it’s definitely worth the trek off of the beaten path. The restaurant portion of her shop is modest—there’s no room for chairs, much less a couple tables—but they offer various plate lunches with Spanish rice and beans, a variety of tacos, tamales and soups.

The choices change daily. Gomez’s meats are fresh, which she says she buys direct from meat markets. She also incorporates the freshest produce from local farmers into her dishes. She told me that she believes the fresh ingredients are a key to the delicious flavors her foods have.

There aren’t that many English words exchanged at the store, but the language of food is universal. Spanish obviously works best here, but I speak not a word.

I asked questions and pried for details, but the best way to go is just to try what they offer and let them prepare it the way they recommend. Don’t let your expectations of “Mexican food” get in the way. It always smells delicious, and you will not be disappointed.

Gomez prepared a tamale for me Jaliscostyle, topped with shredded lettuce, cheese and a bit of cream sauce. I topped it with her homemade hot salsa that was phenomenal. It was filling, but set me back just $2.95. She also offers them plain for a whole $1.95.

She also served me a stew made with tomatillo, beef and seasoned with chiles along with some spoonfuls of her creamy, homemade beans and Spanish rice. A heaping plate goes for $7.95.

She also poured me a bowl of beef bone soup with vegetables that was superb. Clear broth surrounded the corn on the cob chunks, zucchini, potato, string beans and chunks of beef on the bone. Beef tacos were also available featuring savory slow-cooked shredded beef in spices and served on hot corn tortillas with shredded cabbage.

While Comercial Mexicana Store carries a variety of beverages, I couldn’t resist the CocaColas bottled in the old-style glass in Mexico.

It cost a little more but was worth it.

Reminiscent of my recent stint in Mexico, cold Coke in a tall bottle refreshes in a way cans and plastic can never approach. MTW

EMPLOYEE OF THE

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

Helena Bigall Barista, Casanova Before moving to Maui in November, I stayed on Kauai and the Big Island. But this is where I plan to stay. I studied permaculture in Kauai—that’s sustainable living. It’s not only about growing your own food; it’s a lifestyle, really. Growing up we moved around a lot, often in very poor areas. That really changed our living circumstances from most people’s ideal.

My mom, my brother and I raised each other. At a very young age I learned what money represents and how it doesn’t contribute to a quality of life. You could say this contributes to my interest in sustainable living. Right now on Maui, I don’t have garden space, but soon I will move and we’ve already talked about making it.

I’ve been a barista for 10 years. I’ve done other things here and there but I always miss it and go back. You become so integrated in the community, that’s what drives me to café work. It’s the easiest way to get to know people. Everyone who drinks coffee pretty much comes in every day. You learn to know them by what coffee they get and then you get to know them by personality. I can usually tell what kind of a coffee a person wants by looking at them. My little shame is I love vanilla lattes. But I’m trying to get off coffee.

My hobby is the hula-hoop. I started a few years back. I make my own. I enjoy it. It’s almost meditative. For the past four years I’ve been involved in the Burning Man community. I helped build the temple, which was the largest structure out there. A couple years ago I brought out a truckload of utility pipe, made several hula-hoops and passed them around.

I’m interested in astrology, too. I would say it has as much—but no more—influence on who we are than what goes on with our family, economy and society. It all contributes. I’m on the Aries/Taurus cusp. Those are two different dynamics. I definitely identify with the solid and grounded Taurus. But every once in a while the Aries in me gets the fire going under my feet.

Go Jimmy Go + Crazy Fingers = GO CRAZY! Friday at Paradice Bluz, Saturday at the SandBar [MUSIC] Oops! If you read last week’s picks, you may have thought Maui’s reunited Crazy Fingers was playing the SandBar last Saturday. I’m sorry, I got a little excited— it’s actually THIS Saturday and, even better, they’re playing with Oahu’s soul-ska-fabulous Go Jimmy Go—but that double-billing is only at the SandBar! Go Jimmy Go is also playing at Paradice Bluz, which will be cool to see them in the swanky interior of Lahaina’s newest nightclub. Plus, I hear the boys of GJG are still reeling from their packed performances and Halloween shenanigans last October on Front Street, so maybe once they get back on westside soil, their flashbacks could provide even more sweaty skankin’ fervor! Here’s hoping anyhow. [SAMANTHA CAMPOS]

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

by Samantha Campos

Ragga This Week in Soul Jah Imported DJs Thursday, 10 p.m. at Hapa’s; Saturday, 10 p.m. at Casanova

Ocean Arts Thursday thru Sunday, at Campbell Park (next to Wharf Center on Front St. in Lahaina) [FESTIVAL] The Ocean Arts Festival is an annual event uniting Maui’s marine conservation community and the celebration of the wondrous water world surrounding us! Thursday, 7:30 p.m., features premier whale photographer Flip Nicklin and his whale research buddies filling the community in on what’s currently going on with our favorite visitors, the humpback whales.

Then on Friday, at 7:30 p.m. will be a free showing of the film Whalerider. Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Banyan Tree Park (across the street) will be two full days of live entertainment and local arts inspired by Maui’s marine life. For more info, call Lahaina Visitor Center at 667-9193.

THURSDAY

[MUSIC] As part of Upmost High Records and the Wild Wild West all-star Dub Tour 2005, Ragga Soul Jah features musicians from Soul Syndicate, Eek-A-Mouse, Don Carlos, Israel Vibrations, Rasta Farians, Mikey Dread, Bunny Wailer, Big Mountain and the Hawaiian bands of Humble Soul, Marty Dread and Ooklah the Mac. Uh, so it’s a reggae band but they’re calling their sound “African, Hawaiian, Latino, Filipino, Jamaican and World Dub beat music.” Yeah, sure— sounds good to me.

Funky Haiku

Friday, 10 p.m. at Hapa’s [DJ] Bassnectar and/or DJ Lorin is a trippy dude, darling of the Burning Man festival and self-proclaimed perpetuator of “organik fusion of psyhop, freakbeat & bassalistik majik.” Anyway, he’s back on the island and ready to pump up the bass and sweat factor—or should I say, “faktor?!”—at Hapa’s this weekend.

Saturday, 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at the Haiku Community Center [FESTIVAL] Haiku is a trippy place. Its green, windy roads seem to take you in all different directions. It’s sprawling, but intimate. It’s the kind of place that would hold an annual Flower Festival, and it does. In fact, it’s exactly that time of the year. Time for the annual Haiku Ho’olaule’a and Flower Festival.

This year’s festivities will honor Haiku School’s centennial anniversary and will include lots of music, food, arts and crafts, lei-making demonstrations and other gatherings of the Haiku gentry. And there’s free admission and parking. For more information call 573-3573.

Mana’o Birthday

St. Paddy’s Pre-Party

Wednesday, 8 p.m.-midnight at Charley’s Restaurant

Sunday, 5:30 p.m. at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Kula

[MUSIC] Mana’o Radio’s birthday—three years on the air, baby!—is actually this Friday, which Mayor Arakawa will officially designate as Mana’o Radio Day in the County of Maui. Aww, that’s so sweet! Hey, how come I didn’t get my birthday officially designated?

Where’s the love?? Just because I’m not a non-commercial, listener-supported radio station that “doesn’t kowtow to corporate America or the record companies!” Geez… And well, because they don’t do things the traditional way, Mana’o is holding their big birthday bash on Wednesday in Paia. There’ll be eclectic and local live music (duh) provided by the MRO (Mana’o Radio Orchestra) and special surprise guests. $10 donation at the door.

[MUSIC] Isn’t St. Patrick’s Day next week? Whatever! It’s a Celtic pre-party with Maui’s own six-piece Tropical Harps so that we won’t be such amateurs when the big, green day does arrive! This will actually be a traditional Celtic concert complete with harps, hammered dulcimer, fiddle, tin whistles, concertina, guitars, mandolin, bowed psaltery, ‘ukulele, vocals and maybe not so much drinking— save the Guinness mayhem for next week! Admission $10, kids 12 and under free. For more info, call 878-6958.

‘Being Caribou’ Sunday, 6 p.m. at the Kaunoa Senior Center in Sprecklesville [FILM] Do you like Caribou, those giant, graceful creatures related to Elk who live in the Arctic regions?

Of course you do. After all, they would never do anything bad to anything. Well, they do have to eat, so I guess they’d have to do bad things to whatever it is that they eat, but I’m sure they’d do so in the nicest possible way. Anyway, I digress: because the White House is now inhabited by thoughtless cave people, all that beautiful, pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska that the mighty Caribou call home will soon get converted into oil wells. Soon, Caribou will only exist on film—like this film, which is being shown on the eve of the go-ahead vote in Congress to pave the ANWR. [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY

The Negotiator Bruce Willis returns to rollercoaster popcorn Bruce Willis returns to popcorn action movie fare as a former LAPD negotiator turned small town police chief who gets caught in a web of violence involving the kidnapping of his own family and that of a mob-connected father of two. After a gritty opening sequence in which a fuzzyheaded Jeff Talley (Willis) fails to prevent the murder of a mother and her young son, he downshifts his police career to preside over a low-crime area of Ventura County.

Hostage

★★★★★ Rated R/102 mins.

Echoes of the recent remake of Assault On Precinct 13 and Joe Carnahan’s nowclassic Narc stray into an unraveling plot as Talley’s life abruptly dips into all too familiar territory of hostage negotiation. French director Florent Emilio Siri (The Nest) makes his English-language debut with an over-the-top action thriller that’s all twisting action construction without many nuances of character development to clutter up the savage spectacle. The effect is entertaining but rooted plainly in fantasy.

It’s a good thing that the filmmakers return Willis to his naturally bald state after the film’s disjointed opening where he wears a decent if weird looking hairpiece.

As the cliché prepares us, Talley is separated from his estranged wife and his teenaged daughter (played by Willis’ real life daughter Rumer Willis) hates him while he struggles with the ghosts of his past failure.

You can practically smell the poor cop’s

spaghetti on the stove. So when three teenaged hoodlums incidentally hijack the canyon mansion of a shady mob accountant (Kevin Pollack), whose house is a giant panic room styled fortress, Talley is drawn into the fray.

A good deal of the movie’s intensity stems from the off-kilter pecking order dependency between the teen thugs whose spontaneous attempt to carjack an SUV devolves into a hostage situation after they shoot a female police officer responding to a silent house alarm. Marshall Allman (Little Black Book) and Jonathan Tucker (The Virgin Suicides) play brothers pitted against one another by an older and manipulative thug named Mars (well played by Ben Foster—Big Trouble).

Once the battle lines are drawn around the house by the encroaching SWAT team, the interior drama between the thugs and the hostage father, his resourceful young son, and sensual teen daughter fuel the film’s intermittent anxiety.

But the story, based on Robert Crais’ novel, goes a stretch too far when Talley’s own wife and daughter are kidnapped by Mafioso goons intent on recovering a CD ROM file from inside the occupied home during the hostage crisis for fear that the damning evidence will be discovered. It’s here that Bruce Willis fans are paid out in spades as the master of disaster (some box office-related) applies his cool-headed charisma over insanely dangerous circumstances.

Hostage shares a significant trait with Assault On Precinct 13 in that the distinction between good guy cops and terrorist-styled assassins is blurred. Mafia criminals effortlessly disguise themselves as fully equipped SWAT Team officers driving armored vehicles.

Of course, it’s never addressed how the mob guys acquired or borrowed the SWAT gear

You tell ‘em, Bruce that protects whoever wears it regardless of their actual affiliation.

Fires rage and gun face-offs turn into a barrage of bullets as Hostage climaxes with an ending that’s logistically incoherent and oblique to the character information leading up to it. But that’s inconsequential in a Bruce Willis action

vehicle that promises to smear cinematic mustard all over exploding hot dogs as helicopters provide a birdseye view of every destructive moment. This is one movie that would be incomplete without a soda, some popcorn, and a box of chocolate covered something. Don’t worry, you’ll get your money’s worth. MTW

Callas Forever 5 & 7:30 p.m., Castle Theater Master filmmaker/director Franco Zeffirelli's beautiful tribute to opera diva Maria Callas, set in Paris, starring Jeremy Irons and Fanny Ardant in a "tour de force" performance. "A film that celebrates the sacredness of artistic integrity" (LA Times). For both Callas lovers and the newly initiated, it doesn't get much better than this: a "magical and sumptuous exploration of one of the supreme interpretive artists of the 20th century” (SF Chronicle). Unrated. 108 min.

New This Week HOSTAGE – (R) – Thriller – Bruce Willis stars as a hostage negotiator who bungles a case and then swears off hostage negotiation but then has to return to work when his own family is suddenly captured as part of even more delicate negotiations following the kidnapping of a mob accountant. Hmm, sounds like a Bruce Willis film to me.

See Film Critique.

ROBOTS – (PG) – Animation, Sci-Fi, Comedy – This computer-generated cartoon details a world populated by robots. Yes, I know it sounds fantastic and even a bit childish, but really, this place actually exists! And I’ve been there! No, I swear—what? No, I haven’t taken my meds, yet.

Anyway, it features the voices of Mel Brooks, Ewan McGregor, Halle Berry, Greg Kinnear and, of course, Robin Williams.

THE PASSION (RECUT) – (NR) – He’s back!

Mel Gibson, I mean. He trimmed five to six minutes of the goriest, most violent scenes from his precious move The Passion, and re-released it!

Now, I know this sounds like wussing out, considering that Mel didn’t want us to miss one precious moment of Christ’s agony during his last 12 hours, but hey—Mel works in mysterious ways.

Now Showing 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?

BECAUSE OF WINN DIXIE – (PG) – Drama – A lonely little girl adopts a dog, which not only helps her make friends but also helps her get closer to her father and helps brings together a small Florida town. Oh, and Dave Matthews is in

it. Yeah. I hate movies like this.

MAUI FILM FESTIVAL’S CANDLELIGHT CINEMA Wednesday March 16

CONSTANTINE – (R) – Action-Adventure, Suspense, Horror and Thriller – As our astute intern put it, this film looks like a cross between The Matrix and Devil’s Advocate. We love that good vs. evil, Heaven and Hell stuff! Plus, it’s got beautiful Kauai-boy Keanu Reeves playing the tortured investigator of supernatural mysteries and hottie Rachel Weisz as... well, who cares.

CURSED – (PG13) – Action-Adventure, Suspense, Horror – What’s up with this sudden rash of popular actors and actresses trying to get in on the latest horror flick? Aren’t they supposed to leave that to the BListers?! This one’s starring Christina Ricci, some werewolves and an ancient curse, of course. Man, this better be good. Also stars James Brolin and Portia De Rossi.

DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN – (PG13) – Comedy/Drama – Long story short: Successful black couple lives in Atlanta for years, until husband kicks wife out of their beautiful house on their 18th wedding anniversary. Wife then learns to take control of her own life. This movie also features a “pot-smoking, gun-toting” grandmother figure, which practically guarantees that it’s good.

DREAMBOY - (NR) - Animation - Dreamboy and his friends make up one of the funniest and most interesting casts of animated characters ever to come out of a computer. Join them as they travel from outer space to the wild west--sure, why not. And there’s plenty of politically incorrect humor and cutting-edge computer animation. For ages 17 and up.

HITCH – (PG13) – Romantic Comedy – Will Smith plays a matchmaker who uses less than honest methods in his work—whahhhhh???!?!—and then gets busted by a totally hot undercover reporter played by Eva Mendes. Oh, and there’s a chick in the movie named after a popular antihistamine.

THE JACKET -– (R) – Crime/Thriller, Drama, Romance – After a vet returns home to Vermont with amnesia, he ends up accused of murder. So they toss him into an asylum, pump him full of dope, wrap him in a straitjacket and then lock him in a morgue drawer. While inside, he then travels four days into the future and he sees himself get killed by an unknown assailant. Could happen. Really. Stars Adrien Brody, Keira Knightley, Kris Kristofferson and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

MAN OF THE HOUSE – (PG) – Action-Adventure, Comedy – Tommy Lee Jones, an actor with supposedly the IQ of a genius, plays a Texas Ranger (?!) who is assigned to protect some witnesses to a high-pro-

file murder. Uh huh. So he has to go undercover as an assistant cheerleading coach and move in with a group of University of Texas cheerleaders. All right!

That IS genius!!

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.

THE PACIFIER – (PG) – Action/Adventure, Comedy, Family – Vin Diesel stars as some Navy SEAL guy who has to protect—and baby-sit—five wild kids from the same killers who bumped off their scientist parent.

Get it? He gets to take out the trash—both literally and figuratively! Who comes up with this stuff?

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, 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. SON OF THE MASK – (PG) – Action-Adventure, Comedy – I know it’s premature to say something like this, but I think this will be the best movie of 2005.

Maybe of the whole decade. I mean, you had The Mask, and that was kind of funny, but this is about The Mask’s son! And it stars Jamie Kennedy! I didn’t think he could ever top Malibu’s Most Wanted, but this one sure looks like a winner.

Men in Kilts Celtic bagpipers in Hawaii reveal the secrets of breathing The first time I heard a bagpiper play, I thought it was some small miracle the poor lad didn’t pass out in the middle of the parade. Breathing into his blowstick, he bellowed a hum out of that Great Highland that groaned in the lowest—and longest—exhale I’d ever heard.

If there’s one thing a bagpiper knows how to do, it’s breathe. Recently, Hamish “Jim” Burgess revealed to me the secrets behind bagpipe breath.

“Each instrument has a bag and four pipes,” said Burgess, who is the cofounder of the band Maui Celtic Pipes and Drums. “You breathe continuously to fill the bag, keeping it at least 90 percent full at all times. When you take your breath, you squeeze the bag with your arm, which pushes air through the pipes.

That’s what makes the constant sound.”

According to Burgess, three of the pipes—two tenors and one bass—are named “drones” because they create the constant mellow hum. The fourth pipe is the chanter, which the piper plays with his

Maui Celtic Pipes & Drums Saturday, Mar. 12 at the Sanctuary, Makawao Union Church, 1445 Baldwin Avenue. Doors open at 7 p.m. for an opening reception. Tickets $10 at the door. For more information, visit www.mauiceltic.com or call 264-5190. hands, making melody with nine notes.

Only nine notes?

“There’s an old bagpipe joke: If there’s only nine notes, how hard can it be?” said Burgess.

“But it’s the little embellishments and popping noises in between those nine notes that really makes the tune.”

Burgess, who grew up in Great Britain with Scottish parents, learned to play the bagpipes seven years ago, after he moved to Hawaii.

“Ever since I was a kid growing up in Cornwall, I saw these guys in big fancy uniforms with their pipes,” he said. “I was in awe.

I thought it was something I couldn’t do because I wasn’t musically inclined. But, truth is, anyone can give it a go.”

IN

THE

In 2001, Burgess and Pipe Major John Grant founded the Maui Celtic Pipes and Drums. The band has since grown to eight pipers and two drummers—“some Irish, some Scottish, and some who just want to play the pipes,” he said.

Hoping to inspire an interest in Celtic music, the band gives free—that’s right, free—lessons to anyone who wants to learn the bagpipes. Among other events, they make appearances at weddings, the County Fair, the Fourth of July parade in Makawao, and the annual St. Patrick’s Day Bash (next week) at Mulligan’s.

This Saturday, World Champion Bagpiper Jack Lee, a Canadian Pipe Major of the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band, will perform in a fundraiser for the band. Lee has been listed as one of the world’s leading bagpipers for the last 25 years. He’s also a four-time winner of the World Pipe Band Championships in Scotland.

Maui Celtic Pipes and Drums will open the show.

“This is the third fundraiser Jack is playing for us,” said Burgess. “Last

H EART

OF

year it was a sold out show with 180 people.

We actually had to turn people away.”

The Jack Lee event will raise funds for the all-volunteer band to buy instruments and new uniforms. “We’re hoping to raise enough money to buy matching Hawaiian kilts for all the band mates,” Burgess said.

Wait a minute. A Hawaiian kilt?

“There is a Hawaiian tartan [plaid] designed with the colors of the island in mind—predominantly blue and green,” said Burgess. “The Hawaiian tartan shows the crossing of cultures. It’s something the Scots can give to the people of Hawaii.”

If you miss the fundraiser on Saturday night, listen for Burgess on Sunday mornings as he joins host Tony Novak-Clifford on Mana’o Radio for the Celtic “Sunday Solstice.” Or look for him piping at a beach park near you.

“I play by the sides of the roads sometimes, and people really love it,” he said.

“Never have I heard one negative word about the bagpipes. Unless it’s bad, of course.

But that’s why we practice.” MTW

If not now, when?

When indulging your unfortunate tendency to dwell on your own flaws, please remember: they’re only flaws in your eyes. You can, perversely, be loved because of them. That’s particularly likely this week, when your many virtues will only intimidate people they ought to attract. You know you’re a lovably imperfect being, but for those encountering you for the first time, you can occasionally be incredibly off-putting and otherwise inaccessible. Hardly appropriate, since you’re actually one of the least pretentious and judgmental people out there. Luckily, it’s easy to make that obvious to those who might not know it yet. If you think you’re making an amazing impression, be sure to screw it up, just a little, by publicly picking your nose, crying or rolling around on the floor with the giggles.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) I’m not a skilled carpenter, so when I built a loft bed (and a set of steps for my dog), I sustained a myriad of minor injuries: plenty of little cuts, scratches and splinters. I also had to modify my designs several times, because my inexperience caused me to make a few errors of judgment. Be willing to frequently alter your plans this week, and prepared for scrapes and bruises (emotional or otherwise). You’re attempting something you’ve never tried before. I’d actually be offended if you got it right the first time (and you’d probably become insufferably arrogant).

Luckily, that’s unlikely. Get out the band-aids and get to work.

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.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Every so often, your ruling planet, Mercury, likes to screw shit up. It’s part of his (and your) mischievous nature.

He spins the wheel and does a U-turn in the middle of the highway, generating massive chaos. For those driving nearby, or not paying attention, it can be catastrophic. For others, it’s mostly inconvenient and annoying. For those of us who are forewarned, however, there’s almost no hassle whatsoever: we can get off the highway before Mercury goes nuts (next week!), and stay off until traffic’s flowing properly again. I’ll let you know when the coast is clear. For now, stay safe (and yes, slow) on the side roads.

Don’t try applying geometry to human relationships. People have attempted this, arguing that a triple is way more stable than a couple, based on the soundness of a triangle. Of course, it (almost) never works, because the more connections there are (in geometrical terms, the more corners, axes or radii), the more complicated (and yes, unstable) the interpersonal emotional structures will be. In other words, don’t try to solve your current relationship’s drawbacks or problems by adding new people to it. Make it stable by itself. If an 8.5 magnitude emotional earthquake won’t shake it, then consider adding people to it, if you wish—but not before.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

You rely on brute force more often than on subtlety. You out-face, out-roar and otherwise intimidate your opponents whenever necessary. However, this strategy won’t work on all those whose ideas you oppose. In some cases, it may even make them stronger. Just examine the whole preposterous notion of a “war on terror” for an example of this. Sometimes it’s better to bribe, cajole or seduce your enemies—consider how much safer our world would be if we’d spent 200 billion bucks on food and medicine for the impoverished masses. When considering possible strategies this week, just remember this: People don’t often bite the hand that feeds them—no matter how much they might resent it.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) You’re trying to comb your extremely tangled hair without conditioner. Of course great clumps of it are coming out. You will soon go bald, at this rate. I’m not really talking about your hair, but about your emotions, which are even more frayed and fraught with split ends, of late. There is something you could do about this, something almost as simple as applying some lubricating creamy goop to the situation, only so far you’ve refused to do it.

It’s called apologizing. A simple, “I’m sorry” would lube this situation right up. Until you utter it, though, you’ll just be tearing your hair (and heart) right out.

If you were the sheriff in some old-fashioned Western, I’d advise you to keep your guns handy. You probably wouldn’t actually need to draw or shoot them, but showing them off would be a good idea; a demonstration of your strength isn’t necessary—only an awareness of it. People need to know you can take them down in a flash, otherwise they might think they can get away with robbing the bank, knocking over old ladies, and stealing candy from children. Sure, the crimes I hope you’ll prevent with a glint of (emotional) steel are less obvious than these— but no less serious.

You get up for a midnight snack, devour a ham, cheese and mustard sandwich, then wonder why you have bizarre, disturbing dreams all night—if you’re able to sleep at all. What I’m trying to get at here is that the things that happen to you this week stem directly from your own actions. They’re the natural and predictable fallout from things you’ve done—and continue to do. Don’t try to blame this stuff on anyone else. The responsibility lies squarely on you. I don’t mean to be harsh or too strict. It’s just that the problem won’t resolve itself until you figure out—and admit—exactly what’s causing it: you.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) You’re not exactly a head-butting, horn-locking type. You’re just as strong as any stubborn Taurean or loud, confident Leo, but you express your power in a different way. Remember that, because your opponents will try to lure you, this week, into arenas that favor aggressive, head-on strategies—which you’re not as good at. You could delude yourself into believing you can take them, and you can—but only when you’re playing your game, not theirs. Diligently avoid situations that require brute strength; in them, you’ll just get your ass kicked and ego bruised. Stick to the subtler stratagems you excel at, and you’ll continue to get your way. As usual.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

658 Front Street

Many Sagittarians tend to wear their clothes until they’re worn out in the elbows, ass and knees, and so long out of fashion that they’re cool again. It’s just not high priority for you to be au courant or even especially presentable. Fine. Personally, I like that about you. But remember, there are some people who are too shallow to look beyond appearances, and very occasionally you need to impress—or at least not disgust—one of these. This week is one of those times. Pull yourself together when necessary, and show us all how nicely you clean up.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

Lahaina, HI 96761

Some of your old habits and rituals have collapsed or imploded. Perhaps a regular feature of your life is no longer there—be it person, location or ability. I feel for you; it’s rough giving up cherished routines, especially for a creature of habit like you. But it’s also exciting to forge new ones. Of course, this has to happen naturally; you can’t arbitrarily decide that this will be your new best friend, favorite hangout or regular route, etc. You’ve got to try stuff. That means you need to stop grieving your old customs and give lots of potential new ones a chance.

The right ones will stick, quite naturally. But until you start the process, you’ll be—just a little bit—lost.

DROP OFF

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) It’s very difficult to imagine you as frail or delicate; almost everything about you contradicts that. But nevertheless it’s possible for people to underestimate your strength this week. They’re used to seeing it take different forms, to manifest in more traditional ways. But right now the best expression of your strength is in making yourself open, receptive and vulnerable—which of course to some people could seem like pure weakness. So what?

Don’t let their (limited) expectations force you to slam emotional doors and retreat into a closed-off, strongerseeming position. Why not? Because the person, idea or feeling you’ve been keeping the gates of your heart open for hasn’t quite made it inside yet.

HOLOHOLOGIRL

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

Coffee Talk To drink is human, to drink coffee is divine.

-Unknown Yes, I, too, was a barista. While I attended college in Santa Cruz, I worked the espresso bar at an unapologetically Francophile bakery in the affluent beachside community of Capitola. I used to have to work at 5:30 in the morn, which was as unnatural for me then as you can imagine it would be now. But I had a routine.

I would wake up at five, drag myself with much resistance out of bed, kiss my boyfriend and my pit bull goodbye and, cursing them both under my breath, load the bong and hop on my bike to work. Once I got to the bakery, I would stroll in through the back, saying a sleepy hello to the pastry chefs and prep cooks who’d arrived there well before me.

I took great pleasure in perusing the rows of pretty petit fours and flaky croissants before finally snagging a freshly baked chocolatine or pain d’amande. I would then head straight to the espresso machine, which I immediately fired up so I could begin consuming the first of several hundred espresso shots required to last the rest of the day.

Being young, somewhat bitter for reasons I can’t recall and infused with that Santa Cruzcentric blend of being simultaneously stoned and jacked up on caffeine, I glared at the welldressed hordes who came demanding their daily fix. I remember wondering why they were in such a hurry and what they would do if they couldn’t get their coffee.

I also listened in on their conversations, as they waited through my slow-as-molasses process: grind the espresso beans and tamp firmly, steam the milk without burning, make sure the brewed espresso has just the right crème and the foam is light, airy and smooth.

Garnish appropriately with nutmeg, cinnamon, chocolate, whipped cream or sometimes, especially during the holidays for eggnog lattes, all four.

Predictably, conversations varied from the hilarious to the inane. The caffeine-addicted came together like clockwork to chat and gossip, usually about neighbors, local politics and real estate concerns, much like here on Maui: “I went paddling this morning and I always think, ‘What if there’s a huge whale underneath the boat, carrying the boat?!’” said a young, local woman to her companions.

“I miss Nordstrom’s,” said a lime-green bedecked woman who recently moved to Haiku.

“There’s a few things I do miss but nothing I can’t handle. But there was a Trader Joe’s in Ohio… ” “If you died today, you’re gonna wish you had that pumpkin pie!” said one guy to his friend, who replied, “If I died today, I’m gonna wish I had slept in.” “‘Jaime’ is a name that doesn’t sound so good in Spanish,” said an athletic-looking Latina.

“If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that women stick together—no matter where I go!” said one man standing with his wife in line at The Coffee Store in Kihei, to which the barista replied: “She’s right, that’s why!”

Talking to your local baristas isn’t all that easy, especially if you visit them at 8:30 a.m. like I did for some reason. But in between their harried efforts to get pastries, check food orders and make lattes, I managed to get a few words of wisdom.

Mottos to live by: “Treat everyone as you wish to be treated.” (Jodelyn, 20, Starbucks, Kahului) “Genius is childhood recaptured.” (Kali, 25, Maui Coffee Roasters, Kahului) “Dream big or go home!” (Rachelle, 18, Starbucks, Lahaina) How to be happy: “Take it one day at a time.” (Nadine, 21, The Coffee Store, Kihei) “I just try to do what the Bible says ‘cause when I don’t, I get in trouble!” (Hoku, 33, Anthony’s Coffee Co., Paia) “Don’t complain, stay objective.” (Guy in line at Starbucks, Kahului) Dealing with caffeine withdrawal: “Take some yoga classes!” (Melissa, 30-something, Starbucks, Kahului) “Drink tea. It’s an energy stabilizer.” (Rachelle) MTW
