LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR ANOTHER AKAKU FAN The public perception of the imbroglio surrounding the funding of Akaku-Maui Community Television is that it has less to do with education than with a personal vendetta by certain Maui developers (“Everett’s Bills,” Mar. 3, 2005).

Unfortunately some state legislators and some Akaku board members refuse to admit that this might be true. It is disingenuous of them to try and pass this off as a benefit to education in Hawaii.

Furthermore, they have not taken the time to research Federal Communications Commission rules, administrative law or Public-access/Education/Government (PEG) funding as it is practiced in other areas of the United States. As has unfortunately become the practice in our state, legislators are making law without thought of the consequences of their actions. Decisions on the distribution of PEG funds for public access are best left to the local public access entity. [B]ack-room deals based on “old boy” relationships should not be a part of the process. Akaku currently provides adequate PEG programming.

If the state legislature feels that the Department of Education (DOE) and Maui Community College require additional funding for their television projects, then the state should allocate the funds from the state budget. Those funds should not come from PEG funds allotted for access organizations such as Akaku.

-Dale Parsons, Makawao

TOUGH CROWD So you welcome letters that are complimentary only? Interesting. Your juvenile writers misrepresent their subjects and that is just fine with you Mr. Pignataro? My letter responding to baruk shalovich [Barukh Shalev] or whatever his name is about his rude article on Sheldan Nidle (“Spaceman,” Mar. 3, 2005) wasn’t printed I suppose for

the same lame reason?

Your articles are boring lies. You need competition fast and that will be easy to do when an intelligent, young writer comes to island and feels like starting a new rag. I won’t pick up your paper again—I know that’s okay because this island is now polluted with a huge amount of trendy little white kids that support your shitty little paper. Maui Time is good for puppy poop training. By the way your astrologer is retarded and vile. Bye bye little guys.

-11:11 Art Studio, via email The Editor responds: We received this email on Mar. 14, which was just three days before the Mar. 17 issue hit the streets with Mr. 11:11 Art Studio’s first letter. Since that letter’s section was full, this second letter went into the hopper until we compiled enough letters to run the section again.

CORRECTION In the Mar. 31, 2005 installment of News of the Weird, the Orlando, Florida high school chemistry teacher accused of teaching his class how to make a bomb should have been identified as David Pieski.

Maui Time welcomes letters commenting on our coverage, but only if they’re complimentary. If you still wish to complain about something, please have the decency to use plenty of bad punctuation and grammar—that makes it easier for us to make fun of you when we respond. Send your letters to the editor via e-mail (letters@mauitime.com), regular mail (Letters to the Editor, Maui Time Weekly, 658 Front Street, Ste. 126A-7278, Lahaina, HI 96761) or fax (808-661-0446).

ehbrah@mauitime.com To Mr. Hairy Bubblegum: I just wanted to say THANK YOU for lettin’ me see your hairy bubblegum. I didn’t even have to ask! I bet you got real excited as you saw me riding my bike home around 9 p.m. on the Puamana side of Front Street. You just happened to be lingering under the streetlight wearing only your baseball cap and Nike shoes. But your dick was so small it wasn’t much of a thrill for me. Next time get a flashlight and a magnifying glass for your little flashing expedition. You’re lucky I didn’t have a can of pepper spray or I would have laced your small, deflated dick. Then again, you probably would have liked it. But I did have my cell phone so I promptly called Maui’s finest. They asked me for a description, so I said you were the guy with the tiny dick wandering around naked on Front Street. I honestly doubt they were fast enough to catch a perverted cockroach like you but I promise I’ll be more prepared the next time I see you. You may fuck the neighborhood pets and jack off in front of the kids, but the next time I see you I’ll pull a Lorena Bobbitt and you won’t be able to prey on any of us anymore.

The Big Squeeze Must we crush cars next to the Kanaha Sanctuary?

PHOTO: CHERYL AMBROZIC-MOOZ

Look like a good place to crush cars to you?

Martha Vockrodt-Moran is a wildlife artist, manager of the D.T. Fleming Arboretum at Ulupalakua and granddaughter of Fleming himself. As such, she’s spent many hours at the Kanaha Pond State Wildlife Sanctuary in Kahului, quietly watching and painting endangered Hawaiian stilts, coots and ducks.

So imagine her outrage when she learned that Maui’s new proposed abandoned vehicle crushing and storage facility will sit less than 150 feet from the Kanaha sanctuary.

“When I realized that the crushing/storage facility was directly next to the Kanaha Pond Wildlife Sanctuary, I was shocked,” said Vockrodt-Moran. “Kanaha is not the place for scrap metal processing!”

The Sanctuary is one of just two wetlands on Maui that provide a place for Hawaiian stilts, coots and ducks as well as other, less endangered migrant shorebirds to feed and breed. In a sense, it’s one of the last places on Maui where these native species are trying to survive the big squeeze of Maui’s growing industrialized pressure.

The crushing facility will be run by Mike Kitagawa’s Towing and Transport Company. After first removing gasoline, motor oil, fluids and coolants as well as pulling the battery, gasoline tank, coolants, tires, rims and freon at their property on Alamaha in Kahului, they will transport the junked cars and appliances to the new site next to the Sanctuary, which will sit on the lot behind Bounty Music and Second Wind.

Because the property is considered a “sensitive shoreline area,” Kitagawa needs to obtain a county Special Management Area (SMA) permit from the Planning Department before crushing his first car.

“One of the objectives of a SMA is to protect habitat, plant and animal species and coastal resources,” said county planner Colleen Suyama. Part of her job is to compile comments from various state and federal agencies. “If these agencies express concerns about the potential impacts to these resources,” she said, “Mr. Kitagawa will need to mitigate these concerns.”

The comments show that many of these agencies are seriously concerned. For instance, Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) officials are worried that the noise from crushing cars might damage the wildlife sanctuary.

The main noise issue concerns a federally designated wetland called “Lot 7 Pond,” which is directly adjacent to the Kitagawa property.

While it’s not within the Sanctuary boundary, Lot 7 Pond is a sensitive area for breeding, loafing and feeding for Hawaiian stilts and coots.

Sanctuary Manager Dr. Fern Duvall has watched the birds with their young in this area.

DLNR has made clear that it believes the project would “affect” the endangered water birds that use the Lot 7 Pond.

“The Hawaiian stilts are extremely sensitive to loud noises and visual disturbances,” said Dr. Eric Vanderwerf, Wildlife Biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in a telephone interview. Vanderwerf believes that the flatbed trucks coming and going as well as the car crusher, forklift and other heavy equipment will disturb these endangered birds especially during nesting season, which takes place from April to September. Often, the nests will lie just a few feet from the property’s boundary.

The Fish and Wildlife Service told the County that it believes the “processed” automobiles will not be contaminant-free by the time they reach the crushing yard. They believe differentials, transfer cases, viscous couplings and air condi-

tioner compressors are “difficult to consistently recognize, locate, and completely drain even for trained mechanics.” Fish and Wildlife officials noted that when crushed, such fluids could leak into the surrounding area pond.

They also noted that a car’s brake pads and other solid components containing heavy metals and other hazardous materials are not slated for removal during processing. The department believes there is a possibility these solid components may release residue into the crushing yard.

Kitagawa’s SMA application also contains an intriguing line about how storm water runoff from the site will “sheet flow into the adjacent drainage canals,” which drain into the ocean.

Duvall has seen these endangered birds nesting in these canals and believes that when it rains, polluted fluids and toxic residue could end up discharged into the canal.

For his part, Kitagawa said he wants to do whatever it takes to address these concerns.

He is planning on placing the car crusher on a concrete slab with a berm to prevent water from flowing into the soil or into the canals. If vehicle fluids spill on the ground, he says he will cover the spill with “Oil Sponge,” an absorbent that should encapsulate any contamination. Kitagawa said his people will remove any the affected soil and take it to the C&D Landfill.

Kitagawa acknowledges crushing cars and appliances will make a lot of noise, but denies that it will be harmful to the Sanctuary. “I think the noise of the airplanes and the highway noise is much worse,” he said.

While he’s technically correct, highways and airplanes don’t sit next to the Sanctuary.

Kitagawa said he plans on running the car crusher four hours a day. The car and appliance loads will vary, but he said the crusher will take approximately 10-15 minutes to “sandwich” a load of three to five vehicles plus 10-12 “white goods” like refrigerators, washing machines, stoves and heaters. To partially hide the car-crushing operation from the stilts at Pond 7, Kitagawa wants to surround it with large boulders.

Should Kitagawa fail to alleviate these problems, he’ll have to file a SMA Major Permit application. That will require a Planning Commission review and thorough public study.

But residents like Vockrodt-Moran have a simpler idea: just put the facility somewhere else, somewhere far from one of Maui’s most sensitive wildlife environments. MTW

LC Watch The Old Lanai Fake-Out

The Maui County Liquor Commission is scheduled to meet on April 13.

Assuming they do meet—their brothers on the Adjudication Board cancelled their April 7 hearing—they might not all be there. That’s because the commissioner representing Lanai is still up in the air.

All anyone can say for certain is that retiree Victor Fink, Mayor Alan Arakawa’s nominee, won’t be sitting on the Commission. For reasons that remain mysterious, the County Council “disapproved” Fink in March.

“The Council rejected Mr. Fink’s nomination without really saying why,” a member of the mayor’s staff told me.

Council Chairman G. Riki Hokama— who represents Lanai and originally pulled Fink’s name—didn’t respond to an email request for comment.

Fink’s Commission Application Form seemed to indicate a wellrounded nominee with extensive restaurant experience. For 20 years, he’d run his own restaurant supply distribution service. He’d also worked the front desk at the Big Island’s Volcano House and in guest services at The Lodge at Koele on Lanai. A Republican, Fink also said he was a member of the Nature Conservancy and the Audubon Society.

Who will take Fink’s place isn’t clear. Hopes that Lanai resident and outgoing Adjudication Board member Ron McOmber would take Fink’s place—McOmber himself talked of such possibilities during the March 3, 2005 Board meeting—proved fruitless. Instead of the outspoken, selfprofessed “big mouth” who made a name for himself browbeating liquor licensees dragged before the Board, Arakawa nominated current Manele Bay Hotel front desk manager Edwin Vila.

Very little is known about Vila. Because of Fink’s rejection, Vila’s nomination was rushed without a formal application process.

The mayoral aide wouldn’t comment on why Arakawa chose Vila.

“I cannot comment on the reasons why one individual was picked over another,” the mayoral aide said.

THURSDAY, MAR. 31 During the really nasty times of the Cold War, Pentagon officials and generals would wait until Congressional Budget Hearings to unleash their scariest estimates of how many bombers and

nuclear missiles the Soviets were aiming at us. That way, they correctly reasoned, Congress would get nervous and let the generals take whatever they needed from the taxpayers’ cashbox. I recalled this when I read today’s Maui News story on the “crisis” facing the Maui Police Department’s overworked police dispatchers. “We’re at a crisis,” the News quoted Chief Tom Phillips as telling the County Council Budget and Finance Committee. “It could be a lot worse by this time next year.” Now I’m not saying that the police department doesn’t need the nine new dispatchers Phillips is requesting. But I am saying that Phillips is pretty clever to hold off on the “crisis” talk until the council starts dealing with “appropriations.”

On this Day of Fools comes news that television empress Oprah Winfrey is going into the bed and breakfast business. Okay, maybe.

But the County Council did give her nine-acre O.W. Ranch in Kula a five-year conditional permit to operate as vacation rental. The ranch has been managed by Bob Greene Enterprises—the parent corporation of Oprah’s personal trainer Bob Greene—since Oprah and her subsidiary Harpo, Inc. bought the place in 2003 for a mere $3.2 million. In any case, I can just see that all this is going to work perfectly. I can just see Oprah behind the front desk, laughing with guests as she tells them to sign the register… What? Oh yeah, I guess she wouldn’t do all that herself. Yeah, she’s really busy, what with her TV show and her… I mean, what else does she got? Does she still appear in movies and stuff? I know she owns like half of Hana, but other than sit in a comfy chair on TV for an hour a day, what does she do? Anybody? She’s got more money than God—she must do something...

SUNDAY, APR. 3 Boy, this affordable housing planning thing is infectious. A week after Maui Time reported on the plan put forth by the citizen group Maui Tomorrow—which can be best summed up with the eminently logical question Why-don’tyou-just-make-the-developers-do-it?—the Maui County Housing and Human Concerns office has decided to get into the act. This plan, outlined in today’s Maui News, is actually a lot like Maui Tomorrow’s plan, except for a few details like requiring developers to build 15 percent of their project as affordable instead of the group’s 25 percent.

The plan would also only affect those developers who are trying to rezone land to get their

Oh Governor Linda Lingle, don’t ever stop exceeding my expectations. I don’t know what I’d do without you and your capacity to perform shamelessly naked political acts with a straight face. You can’t imagine the joy I experienced when reading this morning’s Associated Press story on your recent oneminute radio ads urging listeners to call their legislators and support your proposals. The ads are propaganda—the beginning of next year’s reelection campaign, just as state Democrats are crying—but I never doubted for a moment that you’d try to whitewash them as “public service announcements.” You even told the AP that the ads allow “me to say what I feel are the most important issues of this session.” What balls! You’re the frickin’ governor! You can get on TV or make speeches any time you want!

Man, even Dubya doesn’t end his weekly radio address with a “call your legislators” line. But hey, don’t change on my account.

TUESDAY, APR. 5 Great news on the Superferry! And by “great,” of course I mean “bad, bad for the ferry itself.” According to a press release I just got from state Senator Shan Tsutsui (D, 4th District), “The Hawaii State Senate Committee on Ways and Means has decided not to appropriate $40 million in the Senate budget for the proposed Superferry.

Tsutsui added that while he supports the Superferry “in concept,” he also “doubts that it’ll pass this year.” Turns out a big problem was the Department of Transportation’s “inability to release information on requested specifics.” Go figure.

Hawaii’s public schools are ranked 50th out of 50 in a new nationwide survey of how our educators are meeting George W. Bush’s vaunted No Child Left Behind law, says a new study conducted by the nonprofit Education Commission of the States, which I had always thought was a hate group, but hey—nobody’s perfect. Anyway, the law says each student’s math and reading test scores have to go up, or the schools risk getting “restructured”—ie, no mo’ money.

Now all this news sounds just dreadful, except for a couple things. First, each state has to come up with the reading and math tests, so you have 50 different states using 50 different criteria to compete for federal money. Second, and more importantly, is that using tests to gauge how schools are doing is nonsense. And we’ve known this for some time. “The most profound misuse of educational tests these days is to employ a traditionally constructed standardized achievement test… and use those scores as a reflection of school quality,” said UCLA professor emeritus and nationally-recognized expert on testing James Popham three years ago during the Mar. 28, 2002 Frontline documentary “Testing Our Schools.” Popham further said that standardized tests only measure “what children bring to school, not what they learn there” and that most policymakers advocating No Child Left Behind “are dirt-ignorant regarding what these tests should and should not be used for.”

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD FOOTBALL IS GAY Defensive back Randall Gay wore a New England Patriots jersey as a member of this year’s Super Bowl-winning team, but when one of his former college professors tried to order a personalized jersey in tribute to Gay in mid-February, she was turned down. The National Football League’s official online merchandiser, NFLshop.com, refused to imprint “Gay” on the back of a Patriots jersey because it was a “naughty” word, one of 1,159 the shop has banned. Two weeks later, after the Web site Outsports.com picked up the story, the word was removed from the list.

PUBLIC SERVANTS IN ACTION New Hampshire state Rep. Christopher Doyle, 26, was arrested in March and charged with slapping elections supervisor Gail Webster, 61, to the floor on election night after learning that he had lost his race for town selectman in Windham. And Shirley Martin, a member of the school board in West Orange, Texas, was convicted in February of disorderly conduct for threats against colleague Beth Wheeler. At a meeting, Martin had continued speaking after her colleagues had ruled her out of order, and subsequently Martin angrily told Wheeler, “I’m going to stomp a mud hole in your ass.”

GREAT ART! In 1992, News of the Weird reported that artist Janine Antoni carved huge blocks of chocolate and lard using her teeth, but at New York City’s “LMAKprojects” gallery in February, artist Emily Katrencik gnawed sections of the drywall separating the gallery’s exhibition space from the director’s office, for 30 minutes a day, five days a week.

THIEVES WHO THINK BIG Management at the Globe Hotel in Topsham, England, reported in February that a guest had dismantled and removed the entire shower unit out of his room. And Norwegian Arild Nicolaysen told reporters in February, after arriving at his mountain cabin for the weekend, that the in-ground swimming pool was missing (steel lining, plastic liner, filter, hoses and pipes). And in March, police in Lindale, Texas, arrested two men who they said had taken a house apart, brick by brick, board by board, over a three-month period and sold the materials for drugs.

SURREALITY Tennessee state Sen. John Ford testified in a juvenile court hearing in January that his child support payments should be reduced, in accordance with a state law that he had introduced on behalf of fathers with many children. Ford owns two homes, lives part-time in one with his ex-wife and their three children (with another on the way), and lives part-time in the other with an ex-girlfriend and their two children. Hence, he said, he should have lesser payments to a third woman, who is the mother of his 10-year-old daughter.

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS In March, accused U.S. fugitive securitiesswindler Frederick Gilliland, living on the lam in Canada, was tricked into coming back across the border.

Families of Strangers Life inside one of Maui’s youth hostels

PHOTO: JESSICA PEARL

“I hate America,” a young man told me. “I am on my way out. I am going to Africa, from Cairo to the Cape. I need to be where there is some real culture, you know? I just came back from Central America and really learned how to live life, you know? The values they have, in those kind of places, inspired me.

I asked him to be more specific.

“As an American I feel guilty, guilty of how we treat the world, right?” he said. “I travel, man, okay? I see how the rest of the world is and when I come back to America I get disgusted with myself for being part of this. Now that Bush is ‘president’”—he makes air quotes with his fingers—“I got to go, right?”

A dreadlocked Canadian girl sitting near us nodded in agreement.

“I have this Canadian flag on my bag so people won’t think I’m American,” she said. “I am serious, really.”

I asked her why she travels.

“No economic distance,” she said.

“Hostels have, you know, personality. You feel as if you actually are part of something, like a community. Besides, we are travelers, not tourists.”

There are three youth hostels on Maui.

Two are in Wailuku and one is in Lahaina.

To stay in these hostels you pay around $20 a night. Sometimes this includes breakfast and tours to various points of interest around the island. Most backpackers come here to surf, and the hostels are littered with surfboards accordingly.

I’ve spent much of my life staying in hostels. There were the putrid-smelling communal rooms in Damascus; the slow bake of a poorly ventilated dorm in

Phnom Penh; countless other rooms throughout the Middle East, Central Asia, North Africa and Southern Europe.

Hostels thrive on a combination of unfamiliarity and fear. As much as backpackers talk about being in touch with the local culture, the truth is they need the reinforcement of surrounding themselves with fellow travelers.

The hostel and its little grotto provide a place to share travel advice, exchange gossip and cash in bragging rights. Johannesburg can be as cold as a knife, but it’s always nice to know there are warm, loving hostels to sleep in. People speak your language, understand your concerns and provide camaraderie during the painful throes of homesickness.

In one Wailuku hostel, I met Lars, from Denmark. He was traveling with his friend Peter.

“We wanted to, you know, see the real Maui and to see the Hawaiian culture,” he told me.

“In Copenhagen we used to see on TV kids who would go to Maui, to surf and have this great adventure. We could have stayed in a regular hotel, but we wanted to…”

“What he means,” Peter said while Lars searched his English, “is that we wanted to travel a journey with a human face.”

Moti from Israel had just finished army service when I met up with him.

“I needed some time, some time to understand a little about myself to see where I will go in life,” he said. “I am 23, so when I go back to Israel I will start my education, perhaps a family. This was a time for reflection, I think.”

Others stay at hostels for pocketbook reasons.

Some European university students told me they hadn’t the money to stay at “ritzy hotels.”

Ritzy?

“You know, the kinds of places old people stay in, that cost 80 quid a night,” one girl said. “Who needs that? Plus, staying here you meet all these great people.”

“Yeah,” her Australian friend said. “I think what is more interesting are the people that don’t travel. I know people who are perfectly fine staying in Queensland, never wanting to leave, living their little life.”

Why is their life little and yours not? I asked.

“I travel, I see the world,” she said. “I try to understand the different cultures around me.

That’s not while I am on holiday, though.

While in India, I met up with a bloke, North American, and we agreed to meet up here.”

Backpacker culture is a culture of strangers.

Relationships are built quickly and dismantled hastily. The backpacker relationship is also fragile, often broken apart suddenly, then

picked up later in another place.

“It hurts sometimes, you know,” Sofia from Portugal said. “Each person that you connect with, I think, you maybe leave something with them and after all those times of separation there is nothing else left of you. You learn to be harder.

That’s the first lesson of travel, is to be hard.

“Hostels are like a little community, you know?” she continued. “Like, you make all these great friends and people you will know for the rest of your life. It becomes a scene, like a little sub-culture. It all starts the first few days you stay in the hostel. You meet some people who say they will be at such and such place, so you want to see them again. So you show up there and then you meet more people.

It becomes a routine. I came to Maui a few weeks ago and met some travelers here and now we are all staying together. Travelers are like a family.” MTW

The World Hates Us More Than Ever Why the left was right after all Liberals have their faults, but no one can accuse them of being pigheaded. Two years after left-of-Bush Americans marched against the invasion of Iraq and a year after the Administration admitted it had lied about Saddam’s non-existent weapons of mass destruction and ties to Al Qaeda, the sprouting of a few protodemocratic weeds in the microscopicallycracked cement of Arab dictatorship has prompted them to wonder whether the neoconservatives maybe did the right thing after all by going into Iraq. “[Bush] may have had it right,” NPR’s Daniel Schorr writes in the Christian Science Monitor. Even Harry Reid, the Democrats’ fiery-as-these-things-go leader in the Senate, is swooning over the image of flag-waving Lebanese demanding a Syrian withdrawal: “Any breakthrough we get there, whether it is in Lebanon or Egypt, is a step in the right direction and I support the president in that regard.”

colonies on Arab land, remain unresolved.

Peace with Israel? Not in the near future.

Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarek, 76, has finally agreed to allow candidates to run against him for the presidency, but his most formidable challenger, Ayman Nour, was rotting in prison until January. He’s now under virtual house arrest, which makes campaigning a tad inconvenient. Even the deployment of government goons against pro-Nour demonstrators hasn’t reduced the flow of U.S. foreign aid or Egyptian anti-Americanism.

Libya has agreed to suspend its nuclear program and Syria is being pressured to pull its troops out of Lebanon, but neither move—both in strategic backwaters—significantly affects the economic or security prospects of American interests.

On to the big subjects: Iran has long sought improved relations with the U.S. It is a rare opportunity to form a friendship with an oil-rich, politically influential regional player. North Korea, on the other hand, poses our biggest challenge: a nuclear capable

AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED, BUSH DESERVES TO BE IMPEACHED FOR LYING TO HIS EMPLOYERS As far as I’m concerned, Bush deserves to be impeached for lying to his employers—that would be us—about Iraq’s WMDs. He should face prosecution at a war crimes tribunal for the murder of the 100,000-plus Iraqis he ordered killed by U.S. troops. He deserves life in prison for ordering the torture, and allowing the murder under torture, of countless innocent Afghans and Iraqis.

Nothing, not even if the Iraq war sparked the transformation of the entire Muslim world into peaceful and prosperous Athenian-style democracies, could retroactively justify such murderous perfidy. I’m not convinced a Riyadh spring is about to bloom. It will take a lot more than male-only Saudi municipal elections held in half the country, in which six of the seven winners were illegally promoted by the kingdom’s extremist Wahabbi religious establishment.

Bush’s current foreign policy report card is a mixed bag: a B in Phys Ed and a string of Ds and Fs in more important, heavily weighted subjects.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has eased somewhat, largely thanks to an event that had nothing to do with Bush, Arafat’s death and replacement with Mahmoud Abbas.

But even the Palestinian Authority’s own polls show that fewer than half of Palestinians accept recent elections as legitimate, while 84 percent of the population say they live without safety or security in their daily lives. Basic issues, such as Israeli

state, led by a paranoid and isolated autocrat who has threatened to incinerate the West Coast. Bush’s charm offensive has been so badly botched that he has been reduced to promising that he has no immediate plans to invade Iran.

“I hear all these rumors about military attacks, and it’s just not the truth,” he says. But the U.S. is better poised to invade Iran than North Korea (and oil adds to the motivation).

Bush has also failed to reassure North Korea.

“We have taken a serious measure by increasing nuclear arms in preparation for any invasions by enemies,” the North Korean regime said March 22. So long, Seattle.

Even the stirrings of electioneering in Iraq and Afghanistan have left the Muslim world cold. Both contests, held amid pervasive fraud, violence and corruption in active war zones where millions are too afraid to venture outdoors, are interpreted as ersatz democracy imposed upon puppet regimes created by a hostile occupation force.

And the stooges are disorganized. Iraq’s fractious parties haven’t been able to form a government and Afghanistan’s elections have been delayed until the fall owing to the continuing war with the Taliban. A BBC poll taken in Turkey, a staunch American ally and the model secular state in the Islamic world, finds that 82 percent of Turks consider the United States under George W. Bush to be the greatest threat to world peace.

Is this a world “favorable to American principles and interests”? Clapping your hands is fun, but it doesn’t change jack. MTW

ANOTHER

GIANT LEAP Talking to Jaime Catto about the world’s duality

By Krista Sherer 1 Giant Leap is an exceptional film.

Made in 2001, it’s a multimedia production set in 12 parts. It mixes elaborate visuals, brilliant music, spoken word poetry and interviews with Kurt Vonnegut, Michael Franti, Tom Robbins, Baaba Maal and other lesser-known but still fascinating people around the world. The film concentrates on the seemingly paradoxical themes of unity and diversity, taking viewers on an insightful journey that shows how we’re all interconnected by ideas like God, money, sex and death.

The geniuses behind this quasi-documentary—Duncan Bridgeman and Jamie Catto of the United Kingdom—are now traveling the world creating a second Giant Leap. In fact, they were recently on Maui interviewing and filming local Hawaiian artists. As Bridgeman was busy recording the ‘Ulalena Band, Catto and I spoke about their journey.

Maui Time: How has Maui been treating you?

Jaime Catto: With beautiful hospitality, lovely people. We have a great crew working with us who are underpaid, by us.

We’ve had an amazing diversity of people that we have met with a great menu from Hawaiian singer Willie K kind of stuff to the ‘Ulalena Band and everything in between, ya know. We have been really

lucky with the weather, the whales. My family has been here and they’ve been having a cool time. It’s always too brief. You know our fans, or people in the media often consider us to be aficionados of world culture. But really we are like a stone that skims off the surface of places.

We’re never anywhere for longer than a week or two. You have to honor the fact that we can’t pretend to anyone that we are going very deep into any particular culture. We try to gather as we go as much inspiration, wisdom, insight, music that fits with what we are doing as much as possible and hope we find like-minded people who don’t mind our fly-by attitude.

‘Cause we are very magpieish: we fly in, we grab and we go, and we try to be respectful. We try to make sure it is a benefit to the people that work with us. Sometimes it’s good and they get a platform.

Sometimes it’s good for the indigenous issues to come up. Generally, we are not a charity project. We are coming through as artists trying to fill our boots with as much stuff that inspires us as possible So for the people who don’t know about 1 Giant Leap, can you briefly explain it?

It is a new multimedia art, which is a mixture of great music interwoven with our music. So we put headphones on people and they play and they play along with our music and they might be really famous, like

Michael Stipe or Bono. They might be unknown [internationally] like the percussionist of ‘Ulalena or a guy in a tree in India. And we weave this all together with interviews we do with the people we meet.

We try to meet as many writers, gurus, gravediggers, prostitutes, skate kids and people from all walks of life as we can. We talk to them about big subjects like God, sex, money, conflict and all their insights get woven in with the music and the images we shoot as we travel, and it creates kind of a bank of wisdom or a bank of conversation that is often playful, often serious, often sad, often uplifting, always hopefully inspiring material that is a mixture of unity and diversity at the same time.

And so what is this second project about?

It is very similar to the first one except we are trying to look at everything through the lens of duality. So God becomes good and evil. It is trying to look at most ideas and show that there is another side to them or many sides to them. There is very rarely one side to anything and people who believe in absolute truths, I suppose, are the villains of our film. These are the people that believe there is only one way and it is their way, whether it be a religious person, political person or a trickle down economics person or a racist. Our thesis, I suppose, is that there are many ways to

look at things. We’re doing good and evil, we’re doing man and woman, freedom and innocence, all sides of things, often showing that two opposite things can be true at the same time.

What was the inspiration behind this second project?

We’re artists. I wish I had some lofty inspiration answer to give you. I suppose the inspiration mainly is that these subjects are things that we talk about when we meet people. I mean really connect with somebody, not small talk. I hate small talk, so does Duncan. When you meet someone and you have a very short period of time to connect, and if you want to connect you are going to talk about things that matter to you. You’ll talk about your family. If you get really close, you might talk about your fears, you might talk about your worries about death, your obsession with money, demons or whatever. These are the conversations that afterwards you say, “I had a really great conversation with so and so. I really connected with them.” So we want to be a big catalyst for that, but for ourselves more than for the public. It’s a catalyst for our own mind and our own experience. We trust that it will be for everybody else, but we are not doing it for humanity. We’re doing for ourselves as artists, and it happens that it inspires other people. And that makes it part of what it’s about on its own.

So what music or film inspires you?

I would say to everyone to get the album Habla con Ella. It means “talk to her.” The score to Il Postino is great.

Those two I could listen to over and over again. Duncan and I just started an online label called spaciousmusic.com and all the people on that inspire me. It’s not particularly commercial, it’s not poppy radio, it’s gorgeous stuff. It’s incredible musicians who I could never be as good as. I love Slovo who is also on spacious. I listen to a lot of instrumental music mainly.

Miss Sarajevo is a great film and done by the guy that got Bono involved in the Bosnian War. And I liked The Incredibles.

That was the film of the year. Holly Hunter, she’s a class act.

Who are some of the people you have interviewed?

Marianne Williamson, who wrote A Return to Love; Billy Connolly, who is a big Scottish actor and comedian; Stephen Fry, a great writer; Philip Pullman, who is

the author of His Dark Materials trilogy; Susan Sarandon, Noam Chomsky, Gabriel Roth again, Tom Robbins again, Ram Das again; Neil Donald Walsh, who wrote Conversations with God; some Baptist preachers, some racists and some nut cases. I couldn’t get Haruki Murakami to say yes and who is my favorite writer.

I’m trying to get Carrie Fisher, Oprah Winfrey and I’m also trying to get villains and hear people that we don’t always agree with. Tom Robbins was great when talking about duality. He said we need to move out of the mind set that says either this or that and go into both and not just either/or.

We’re doing good and evil, we’re doing man and woman, freedom and innocence, all sides of things, often showing that two opposite things can be true at the same time.

Where have you traveled and where are you going?

So far we’ve been to Senegal, Ghana, South Africa, Mali, Gabon, Kenya, Paris, Brazil, Mexico, New Orleans, New York, Nashville, San Francisco, Seattle, Oregon, Los Angeles, now Maui, then India, Japan,

China, Oman, Dubai, Egypt, Turkey and then that’s it.

What’s different for you this second time around?

One thing that is different this time around, which is such a cliché, is that last time we were just doing this little thing [filming] that went with our album. And this time we’re doing the second Giant Leap. We didn’t expect to get such a response from the first one. It became this thing in which we still get letters everyday from Chile, from Indonesia, from London saying, “You’ve changed my life.” So now that we are doing the second one, we have

much more of an attachment to it being good. There seems to be something at stake here which I don’t think helps. On the positive side, I am traveling with my wife and kids this time around. My wife shot half the first one and this time she’s just hanging out, which is nice. But I think I really, really, need to go to sleep.

So, you’re ready to be done?

No. No, again it’s duality. I never want it to be over. Duncan and I will both say we’re the luckiest artists alive. We can go anywhere, work with anyone with any field of creativity, do anything we want with them, and then cut it into anything we want. You couldn’t get a whiter sheet of paper. So I never want it to end, and at the same time I can’t wait until it’s finished.

And I can look at it and say it’s good. But you can’t control it. It might not turn out good. It might turn out good. We could totally ruin it. People could say, “What went wrong? They over-thought it. I think they were trying to be too clever.” MTW

A Family Affair Las Pinatas of Maui take-out. It’s always a bright spot in my day.

Not only do Michelle and John know my name, they always recognize my voice and remember my order.

“The interchange with the customers is something I look forward to every day,” said John. And then, of course, there’s the food. “I have to have the enchilada sauce every day!” he told me.

I keep hoping that one day someone will fess up about the super-secret ingredients in this unique sauce, but no.

Pinata’s beans and rice are no secret among vegans on the island. There is no lard in the beans and no chicken broth in the rice. And they still taste great. “Both have a unique flavor that a lot of people embrace as their own, whether they are from southern California, Arizona or Texas,” said John.

Most people remember Cheers, a popular sitcom from the 1980s about a small Boston pub “where everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came.” While I don’t know of a bar on Maui that gets me skipping and humming these lyrics, Pinata’s Mexican Restaurant in Kahului certainly does.

Las Pinatas of Maui

395 Dairy Rd, Unit J. Located next to Kinko’s, near the intersection of Dairy Rd. and Hana Hwy in Kahului. 877-9707. $ Pinata’s owners Steve and Lesley Hargrove are always glad you came. So are their son and daughter-in-law, John and Michelle. Pinata’s exudes a warmth that is tell-tale of a family run restaurant. And a family affair it is, from top to bottom.

“We have a lot of families within the group,” said John. “Our head chef’s wife and her mother both work for us. We’ve had sister teams, mother-son teams and, of course, Michelle and I.” For Michelle, getting to know her patrons‚ families is a special part of her job. “I love seeing all the women who come in pregnant, craving Mexican food,” she said. “Then they bring in their new babies. I get to watch as they grow into young kids. Born and raised on Pinata’s!”

John and Michelle came to Maui to help manage Pinata’s in August 2003 and January 2004, respectively. “My parents had it in place for eight years and had been working on me for that long to move here,” said John. “What finally convinced me to move? A combination of Maui being Maui and the mainland being the mainland.”

The Hargroves will soon be celebrating Pinata’s 10th anniversary. Their actual anniversary date couldn’t be more appropriate: Cinco de Mayo.

I frequently call in to Pinata’s for

Last week I met my friend Dr. Aaron Altura at Pinata’s to celebrate his birthday. Usually on the run delivering babies, I thought Pinata’s quick service might be just his style. I was right.

“The quantity is just right, the quality is there and it’s a no-frills atmosphere,” Aaron said. “Perfect for sitting down for a quick lunch.”

While standing in the 12:30 p.m. lunch line, I watched Aaron review the menu. He settled on the special of the day, which was a chicken tamale ($3.65 for one, $8.99 for the plate). I followed suit.

I had been in a Pinata’s rut, always alternating between my two favorites—the fish taco ($3.50 for one, $8.75 for the plate) and the chicken enchilada ($3.39 for one, $8.50 for the plate). The first step was admitting that I

had a problem. It was time for me to try something new and extraordinary.

And extraordinary it was. Pinata’s serves a traditional tamale, meat that is seasoned and wrapped in masa (cornmeal) and steamed in a corn husk. What makes Pinata’s tamales unique is that they come smothered in Pinata’s delicious enchilada sauce.

Other items my friends swear by are the chicken tostado ($4.85), Mexican Chicken Salad ($6.75) and the Kitchen Sink Burrito (ranging from $6.15 for the vegan to $8.55 for fish). The last is, by far, the restaurant’s most popular item.

There is nothing on the menu over $9. In addition to dine-in or take-out, Pinata’s offers catering service—take and make or ready to eat, with delivery available for your next family affair. MTW

The Second Coming of Jack Johnson Wednesday, 4:30 p.m. at A&B Amphitheater, MACC I had this acquaintance in high school, Jan, who was and—I’d be willing to bet—still is, the tannest, most beachy, most stony chick in all of Southern California. And that’s no mean feat, you understand, if you’ve ever lingered for a spell anywhere south of Big Sur. Anyway, long-blond-haired Jan was the one you’d call if you ever felt the urge to bail on Geometry and head to T.J. for some Corona and Mezcal and big bright paper flowers.

If you ever asked Jan what she was up to, she always had the same response, “Just kaybeein’ it!” The first time I heard her, I had no idea what she meant.

“Kaybeein’ it, Jan?”

coolly nonplussed, bent on doing good and keepin’ it real.

Johnson joined a host of musical luminaries, on the “Vote for Change” Tour last fall, including Jackson Browne—who joins him for the upcoming Kokua Festival at the MACC. Scores of musicians performed in swing states prior to the November election, hoping to inspire young voters to head to the polls. And oust our current Commander-in-Chief. I figured George W. Bush’s dubious reelection would have made Johnson a little hot under the collar.

“Yeah, I was a little bummed for a few days there,” Johnson said. “I felt like it was a pretty negative direction for our country, but I try not to stay pissed off because then it’s hard to be effective, you know?”

“Yeah, Marn, you know, just kickin’ back. Kaybeein’ it.”

Aaaaah, yes. Quite right.

Then we probably hopped in the back of some dude’s pickup truck, got a couple of Marines to buy us a six pack, and basked in the vast Santa Ana Indian summer of youth.

Was Jack insinuating that screaming “You lying *sshole!!!” eight inches from the T.V. screen might not constitute serious grassroots political effort? What a strange, refreshing perspective.

[MARNIE MASUDA]

But now we’re all older. And those days are just a distant memory for most of us, unless, of course, you live in Hawaii or you’re in the presence of Jack Johnson, the indisputable Patron Saint of Kaybeein’ It. Johnson was deep in the throes of an Australian tour when last we spoke. From the sound of things, it was one of those whirlwind-types—in and out of vans, small planes and various sea vessels: Sydney, the Outback, Adelaide, then back again to Sydney. And all this with his wife and wee baby in tow.

“Are you stressed out?” I asked, picturing my family attempting a similar death-defying stunt. Did I forget to whom I was speaking?

I must have for a moment.

The Kokua Benefit features Jack Johnson, Jackson Browne, John Cruz, G. Love & Special Sauce, Ozomatli, and Kawika Kahiapo & Kaukahi. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. Tickets are $35 general, $40 reserved. Call the MACC box office at 242-7469.

“Naaah,” he said. “It’s a great place to tour. We just took a couple of days off to go surfing. It’s like a big road trip with my family and friends.”

If, in a bizarre and glorious booking coup, someone actually got Woody Allen and Jack Johnson onstage together, the audience would behold the yin and yang of the East Coast/West Coast spectrum. One on clarinet, the other on acoustic guitar. One frightened and neurotic in the face of American vacuity, the other

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

by Samantha Campos

Buffalo! The Man and His Band

Hazard! Co. Sheriffs

Thursday (tonight!), 7:30 p.m., Castle Theater, MACC

Friday, 8 p.m., Java Jazz; Saturday, 4 p.m., Charley’s

[MUSIC] They say nobody plays the mouth harp better than Buffalo. Norton Buffalo, that is. Buffalo’s famous harmonica, along with his band The Knock-outs have played with the Steve Miller Band, Grateful Dead, Bonnie Raitt, Kenny Loggins and The Doobie Brothers. On Maui, he’s also jamming with E.C. Scott, whom “They” also say is “a gutsy vocalist endowed with a voice that’s tough enough to wrestle a roadhouse rocker into submission, but tender enough to caress the hurt out of a lovelorn ballad.” There’ll be a dance floor, too, for all ye roadhouse rockers to hoot and holler along. Tickets are $30 and $35. Call the box office at 242-7469.

[MUSIC] "We're kind of like a three pack of Miller High Life stubbies but only taller," says bassist Aydin Say. Easy to digest, the Hazard Co. Sheriffs bring their Southern-rooted funk sounds back to Maui. Led by Kentuckyborn singer Jay Goodin and newly deputized blues guitarist Phil Ellison, the Sheriffs will perform their own arsenal of original music, as well as playing cover songs that range from Run DMC to .38 Special. Wife beaters and cowboy hats are suggested.

Save the LUC! Friday, 9 a.m. at the Sandalwood Clubhouse [DEBATE] Once again, land developers are lining up to destroy, or at least emasculate, the Land Use Commission (LUC), the state agency charged with protecting the state’s agricultural lands. Since the Commissions creation in 1961, developers have tried many times to emasculate or even kill it outright. Bills are currently moving through the state House of Representatives to do exactly that.

But largely missing from the attacks on the LUC is the simple idea that the conversion of ag land to commercial and residential development should be difficult and time-consuming. Once given over to developers, land used to grow food is lost forever. This week, the Maui County Planning Department is sponsoring a free debate on the question of “reforming” the LUC. Of course, the LUC has had its problems—many of its commissioners over the years have had ties to land development—but the reality of a “streamlined” process allowing builders to tear across the islands is a little scary. For more information, call the county Planning Department at 270-7735. [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]

WAR: What it IS good for!

More Kokua Festival Highlights!

Sunday, 1-10 p.m. at the War Memorial Stadium [MUSIC] There is only one War that makes even the most liberal of liberals sing with glee. That would be the band War, who pumpin’-hydraulicsized their way into our classic album collections with jazzy funk-rock hits like “The Cisco Kid,” “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” and my personal favorite— (um, it has nothing to do with my Hispanic heritage, by the way, or my predilection for chromed-out ’67 Camaros)—“Low Rider.” But also appearing at this Tsunami Victims and Maui Food Bank Benefit Concert are: International Pasteles, Curtis Williams & Hip Pocket, The Celtic Tigers, Cheryl Rae and Friends, Jean Pierre & his Jazz Ensemble, Sounds of Samoa, Memories of Elvis, Zacc Kekona & Piilani Arias and Raiatea Helm.

Tickets can be bought in Kihei at Hapa’s, Horhito’s and Beach Road Records. In Wailuku at Request Music. In Kahului at Bounty Music and Shapemaker Fitness. In Lahaina at Hoopai Security, call Kenneth (Bruddah K) Hoopai at 8700830 or e-mail wmta@maui.net.

Wednesday, 4:30 p.m., A&B Amphitheater [MUSIC] Don’t forget, aside from Mr. Johnson and G. Love, we’ve got The Best in contemporary Hawaiian music with John Cruz (check out Acoustic Soul), slack key phenom Kahiwa Kahiapo, the ecclectic sounds of Ozomotli’s (pictured left) mariachi hip-hop ska-rock and Jackson Browne’s introspective and anthemic American-rock.

Yeehaw!!!

Dianne Reeves!

Sunday, 7:30 p.m., Castle Theater, MACC [MUSIC] Dianne Reeves is a Grammy-Award winning diva of jazz, even earning comparisons with Sarah Vaughn for her “impressive range, impeccable pitch and evocative compositions.” But I believe it was “mistermaxxx,” a consumer/reviewer on Amazon.com, who put it best when he wrote: “I remember back in the day my best friend told me about her. He was like this woman named Dianne Reeves has Stevie Wonder driving her taxi in a video and Larry Dunn from Earth,Wind & Fire is in the video so I was like yo I gotta peep this out.

Also dude was like this song is about her grandmother so I had to hear it.sure enough I was moved and since then I buy all her stuff.” So there you go. Tickets are $10, $28 and $38. Call the box office at 242-7469.

As with other Nick Hornby stories, Fever Pitch covers a long stretch of time, in this case a year, and the duration adds considerably to developing a comfortable sense of who the characters are as real people with real friends who want to live a meaningful existence. It’s no accident that Hornby is a British writer and that his stories reflect individuals who live in their skin rather than the inflated yet insecure personalities we typically see in American penned Hollywood movies.

Just as Ben roots fervently for the baseball team he visits in Florida every year at Spring Training, we root for Ben and Lindsey as a team who complement one another even when events conspire against them.

With glorious views of the Himalaya as its backdrop, this adventurous emotional tour through the heartland of Bhutanese Buddhist culture from director (and former monk) Khyentse Norbu (The Cup) about two men and two women seking fresh horizons, "fulfills the promise of its title: It's transporting, it's magical" and a "warm, embracing film of transcendent beauty and spirituality," according to the LA Times. In Dzongkha (with English subtitles). 108 min. Unrated.

New This Week FEVER PITCH – (PG13) – Romantic Comedy So Ms. Barrymore is at it again. At first, he seemed like just a simple guy (Jimmy Fallon) she meets and falls in love with. However, you know there’s always a problem. This time it’s baseball.

Even though their lives are very different, the relationship seems perfect until... yes that’s right—the baseball season begins and she has to compete with his first true love: the Boston Red Sox. Hang in there, Drew. See Film Critique.

SAHARA - (PG13) - Action/Adventure - Explorer Dirk Pitt (Matthew McConaughey) takes on a treasure hunt in several regions of North Africa in search of a ship called The Ship of Death—why, Dirk, why?! Anyway, the ship is a long lost Civil War battleship that is supposedly filled with coins.

Along with his smarty pants sidekick (Steve Zahn), they use their clever heroics to help the beautiful Doctor Eva (Penelope Cruz), who believes this ship is the reason why there are a lot of mysterious deaths. Geez, what makes her think that? Could it be... the freaking name of the ship maybe?!

Now Showing THE BEAUTY SHOP – (PG-13) – Comedy – Here we are back in the chair again. Gina (Queen Latifia) has finally had it with her egotistical boss (Kevin Bacon). So she up and leaves, not only to open a shop of her own but also taking a few key clients and the shampoo girl (Andie MacDowell, Mena Suvaris and Alicia Silvertsone). Fixing up a rundown salon, Gina inherits a very colorful and sassy new group of people, or just what is needed in a beauty shop—a bunch of chatty Kathy’s.

BE COOL – (PG13) – Crime/Comedy – In this long-awaited sequel to Get Shorty, debt collectorturned movie producer Chili Palmer (John Travolta) turns into a music producer and decides to promote a struggling singer who’s also being chased by the Russian Mafya. Also stars Uma Thurman, Vince Vaughn, Danny DeVito and the rest.

MISS CONGENIALITY 2 – (PG13) – Comedy – Goofy cute chicks rule! Like, Sandra Bullock for instance, who’s reprising her role as an FBI agent this time going undercover as a Las Vegas showgirl. Julia Roberts used to be cute and goofy, too, before she got all gaunt and sophisticated. But she’s not in this one anyway, so nevermind.

CONSTANTINE – (R) – Action-Adventure, Suspense, Horror and Thriller – As our astute intern puts 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.

GUESS WHO – (PG-13) – Comedy – Bernie Mac plays a sarcastic dad who’s less than pleased that his daughter wants to marry some white dude played by Ashton Kutcher. Now, I know it sounds dumb, but if you… ah, who am I kidding.

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.

ICE PRINCESS – (G) – Romantic Comedy - Don’t think this is another Ice Castles, people. It’s just another one of them formulaic, cute teen chick underdog battles against “the popular girls” to rise

KA’AHUMANU 6

Happy, dirty people up the ranks and win... something. A trophy? The presidency? Oh yeah, self-esteem. Whoopee. We all know self-esteem gets you nowhere. Just look at Robert Blake. Stars Michelle Trachtenberg, Joan Cusack and Kim Cattrall.

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?

THE RING 2 – (PG13) – Horror – That same hot blonde from the first Ring flick (Naomi Watts) and her daughter are in this one, and they’re still being terrorized by a VHS tape that kills people, but this movie is actually totally new. First of all, it takes place six months after the original Ring, and it’s in a completely different town. Also stars David Dorfman and Sissy Spacek, who I guess is having hard times and is going back to her bread and butter horror work.

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.

SIDEWAYS – (R) – Comedy, Drama – This could be your typical road-tripping buddy flick, only the “bud-

dies” 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. SIN CITY – (R) – Action-Adventure and Crime/Gangster – Another tale of a violent city where the police department is more corrupt than the bad seeds. This futuristic tale follows three stories, including one involving Marv (Mickey Rourke), a bad ass who is a Terminator-like, nearly impossible-to-kill street fighter. He goes on a rampage of vengeance when his one-night-stand gets murdered—correction, his one true love. What a guy to care the morning after! Also starring Bruce Willis, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Madsen and Jessica Alba.

THE UPSIDE OF ANGER – (R) – Drama – A sharpwitted suburban wife, Terry Wolfmeyer (Joan Allen), has just been abandoned by her husband and is left to raise her four dysfunctional, headstrong daughters.

Hmm... why did the husband leave again? Things get even more hectic when she falls for her neighbor Denny (Kevin Costner), a once-great baseball star turned radio DJ. Can you do that? Go Kevin! So now she has a new drinking buddy, but that causes havoc with the girls when they’re forced to juggle their mom’s new romantic interest along with their own dilemmas. Yep, sounds familiar.

PUREVOLUME

Around the World in Five Genres FEDERICO AUBELE “GRAN HOTEL BUENOS AIRES” [ARGENTINIAN ELECTRONICA] Aubele is one of the best of Argentina’s outstanding electronic music scene. Thievery Corporation produced this album, stamping it with its unique dub sound, while retaining a very Argentinean feel. Tango samples and South Americanstyle acoustic guitar loops create an organic foundation to the trippy Argentinean dub. Some profound lyrics in Spanish and sensual, emotive, melancholic vocals by various female singers characterize each track. Some are political, like “El Amor de Este Pueblo,” which he wrote during the crisis of December 2001 and features a populist speech by Evita. Most are songs of love or loss, and all are sexy, downtempo masterpieces. —ESL Music 2004 [JOE GATTO]

VARIOUS ARTISTS “LACKAWANNA BLUES” [AMERICAN BLUES/R&B] This is a great soundtrack from an HBO film based on a true story. It’s the tale of how a young boy’s life is shaped by the unconditional love of an extraordinary woman called “Ms. Nanny,” and the colorful characters she cares for in her boarding house. The emotional storyline is fueled by rhythm and blues—a.k.a. Jump Blues—and the soundtrack features songs from Mos Def, Macy Grey, Robert Bradley, Jimmy Scott, Big Joe Turner and my favorite, “High Heel Sneakers” by Tommy Tucker. I highly recommend checking out this soundtrack and the movie, if you can. Both will make you want to sing it, shout it, laugh, cry and dance, dance, dance. —Vanguard Records 2005 [KIMBERLY L. WELCH]

CARLA BRUNI “QUELQU’ UN M’A DIT” [FRENCH CHANSON] Definitely better looking than your girlfriend, and sounds as sweet, sexy, and soothing as your dream-lover, -mother, friend… Carla Bruni breaks your heart then kisses the tears away. Then she does it again. Who would have guessed? Not I, and I met the lady once. You can stream the entire record at http://www.carlabruni.de/ (the website’s in German, but use some common sense and you’ll do fine). —BMG Records 2005 [ESTHER BURNS]

MARS VOLTA “FRANCES THE MUTE” [MEXICAN PUNK/ROCK] If you’ve heard their radio-overplayed hit “The Widow,” don’t be mislead—the rest of the album sounds nothing like it. It’s definitely more along the lines of their At the Drive In roots. Omar and Cedric are at it again, this time creating a concept album with no conventional song breaks, sort of like a free-form hard-rock epic, based on a stranger’s journal.

It thrashes and it swirls, and it’s lyrically disturbing. And a lot of it is sung in Spanish. I know, I know… it’s weird. Hey, it’s experimental. It’s loud. But it absolutely and unequivocally rocks. Oh yeah, and Flea plays the trumpet on it, too. —Universal Records 2005 [SAMANTHA CAMPOS]

FAZIL SAY “BLACK EARTH” [TURKISH JAZZ/CLASSICAL] This Turkish guy is my cousin.

Actually he’s not. That’s just what my father always referred to him as.

He’s one of those make-believe relatives that your parents assign you.

Why and how do parents do that? They’re always giving you uncles and cousins and shit. I’m going to start doing it, too. My new cousin is Shaquille O’Neal. My new aunt is a hot chick that can cook soul food and scrubs my feet. What’s that, Dad? I sound stupid? Well, guess what? My new father is Colonel Sanders. Maybe he would at least assign me a cousin of LESSER musical talent to boast my selfesteem. This cat Fazil is off the chain, cuz! —Naïve Records 2004 [$AYFOO]

BY KIMBERLY L. WELCH

Can’t Stop Grooving That old G. Love and Special Sauce sound G. Love of G. Love and Special Sauce is a great alternative rock musician who gets zero radio play. G. Love—real name Garrett Dutton—plays the harmonica and bases his following entirely on college radio and live shows. I’ve been a fan for years and years and was dying for a chance to interview him. His appearing with Jack Johnson at the upcoming Kokua Festival finally gave me my chance.

Really, how does it go? Do I sing on it?

Maui Time Weekly: Hey, G. Love! Are you excited to come to Maui?

I wrote that when I was waiting for the brakes in my ‘63 Dodge Dart to get fixed. And I was just reading this kinda weird, I dunno, I guess you could call it, like, an underground music and boobie rag. And I just saw the words “cold beverage” and it’s just one of those things where you see a word and it kinda hits you in a funny way, like you never thought of it, you know? And it was one of those moments and I was like, “Cold beverage… I like cold beverage!”

G. Love: Yeah, I can’t wait.

Yeah, well, I’m a major fan so, I mean, I just… I love everything you’ve done. I saw you a couple times in, um, L.A.—actually, Hollywood, like in ’94 and it was kinda funny ‘cause there was a show you played—remember?

At the Troubadour?!—you played and it was like a sold-out show and it was packed in there. Then, like, the next night you played at a small place in Hollywood and there was this small crowd of people...

Oh, yeah! You were at that show?

Yeah, my friend Mike Tyler was playing guitar with you and he introduced us. It was a long time ago…

G. Love and Special Sauce

Yep. You sing, [singing] “I like cold bev-erage… Yeah, ‘cause I am feeling kind of thirsty… Stick it in the fridge stick it in the fridge stick it in the fridge…” and then it says, “go girl, work the cold one…” Then it repeats itself. That’s why it takes me so long to answer my phone—I can’t stop grooving!

What inspired you to write that one?

Right on. By the way, how tall are you?

I’m uh, six-three. I might be one of the tallest rock stars in the game!

That’s what I’m saying—I knew you were up there! I look forward to seeing you—I mean, the show. I can’t wait to see you guys groove—we’re needing the energy on this island! You know, your latest album is amaz-

Um, well, this record’s definitely—you know, I wanted to kinda make it a personal record.

And keep it funky. There’s a lot of personal songs, you know, all the good stuff and bad stuff that happens in my life. I want to keep the overall vibe of it. I wanna kinda give it a nice kind of summer time look to it. And I guess I just keep it kind of raw and loose and funky and not too polished. And kinda give it a little bit of that old G. Love and Special Sauce sound to it.

When you get to Maui, are you going to be able to chill a bit, or do you have to get back on the road?

I’m in Hawaii for like, five days so... Really, no, I just gotta play. I’m on the road a lot so— I would love to chill but I gotta go get my son ‘cause I’ll just be away for five weeks at that point, so I gotta home and be Daddy G. MTW

What we do is called the hip-hop blues.

That kind of stems from, you know, acoustic blues—people like John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson… Fred McDowell and stuff like that… and John Hammond, and even Bob Dylan, especially. And then a lot of hiphop like, you know, anything from De La Soul to Cyprus Hill, Tribe Called Quest or Boogie Down Productions. So then it’s those two musical forces that’s kinda combined in G. Love and Special Sauce. It’s kinda what we do in a nutshell.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Work, work, work. It’s not all you ever do, although occasionally it may feel like it. Actually, you’ve got it pretty easy, especially compared to those overachieving Capricorns and Virgos. However, there are times when it’s important to focus on whatever’s paying the bills, to the apparent detriment of the rest of your life. It’s not really as shitty as it sounds: Your job is the key to enjoying many other aspects of your existence, whether or not you dig it in and of itself. If there’s a way to get more out of your work without putting much more in (and there is), I say take it.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) What paths will you pursue this year? I’m not making some New Age-y metaphorical allusion, although you’re free to interpret it that way anyway, if you like. I was asking more literally: Where would you like to actually go?

It’s important that you take yourself places, preferably physically. While it’s true that you can go on major trips without ever leaving your bedroom, it’s easier to get the effect you want (and need) by actually removing yourself from your familiar haunts. Getting stuck would be a bad idea. Now’s the time to make plans to ensure you don’t.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Psychic shields up! Virgos often have problems with boundaries and saying no. It’s because you so love to be helpful—even needed—that when someone asks you to do something for them, you almost invariably agree to it. This difficulty is aggravated the longer and more intimately you know someone—and especially if you’re romantically involved with them. What can you do? Create some more or less strictly defined parameters about what you actually need for yourself to be happy, and what you’re willing to do beyond that. This is a good week to define—arbitrarily, if necessary—and announce these. Don’t expect your spoiled friends and family to simply abide them, though. You may need to enforce them, too, so be prepared to do just that.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Keep your hand on your gun—metaphorically, not literally. An “enemy,” of sorts, is likely to get flushed into the open this week by actions you (perhaps inadvertently) set in motion. Don’t worry, this is not some kind of assassin—unless you happen to work for the NSA. Your “enemies” are, after all, more or less harmless. But being aware of their shitty intentions is, nevertheless, a good idea, because they could still screw you over, albeit on a much smaller scale than taking your life or burning down your house. It’s easy to prevent their sabotage—but first you have to catch them at it.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

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

Are you sick? I hope not. However, I’m compelled to point out that you’re not exactly making much of an effort to avoid becoming ill. It’s better late than never, and better now than later; examine your habits and see if you can figure out three substantial improvements that will make you feel healthier. Quitting smoking, for real, and fast, would be number one on my list. But even just cutting down on fat, sugar, alcohol, or all three, would help keep you vivaciously alive. If all that’s just too hard, the least you can do is change your attitude. Smile more. I’m not joking. It’ll actually help (just a little).

FRIENDLY & DETAILED

VOLUNTEERS WANTED

I spend way too much time counseling you to consider your future and set yourself up right. This week, forget all that. It’s back to your natural state: enjoy the moment, without regard for what it means, or will mean.

Especially when it comes to sex; don’t even think about whether your current tryst is a one-night stand, a rebound, or a potential life partner. Just have fun, and lots and lots of sex. You’ll never be this young again, so I advise you to enjoy it. Trust your heart and your body. They rarely steer you wrong (and when they do, it’s almost always a blast).

SURF

Your house is a mess. I don’t mean that exactly literally; you Caps are generally fairly spartan, neat folk. What I mean is that it’s not comfortable—you don’t view it as a retreat, a haven; at the moment, it’s just someplace to keep your stuff and catch some sleep every now and then. That ain’t good. The next big stress crunch, you’ll have a nervous breakdown if you’re not careful. It’s alright to work hard, of course, but you’ve got to have some things that make you feel good when you need to escape the grind. Do at least five things that will tangibly make your house feel a little bit more like a home. You can do them now, or after your breakdown. It’s your choice.

You’re a very communicative creature; you talk a lot, so you’re quite good at it. And you’re already a better listener than most. But you could still improve. You know that you still filter what you hear, somewhat unconsciously—only in retrospect do you realize some of the assumptions you made without really thinking about it.

That’s bullshit you’re better off without, and this is just the week to begin shedding it. It’s like you’re wearing glasses that are making everything blurry and fucked up, only you’ve spent a lot of time assuming that’s just the way the world was, or consoling yourself that at least your lenses weren’t as thick as most people’s. There’s no excuse for not striving for greater clarity if it’s available—and this week, it is.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Tear up your bank statement. You worry too much about money; it always seems like there’s not enough of the stuff. Yet—funny thing about this—somehow you manage to survive nevertheless. I’m not telling you to stop balancing your budget and paying attention to these things. I’m just advising you to quit stressing out about it. Nothing you do this week can make the least bit of difference to your overall financial well-being, so why even waste a second fretting? You’ve got other, much more interesting stuff going on. Pay attention to that, not your wallet.

NEWS

Weirdly enough, the people who are likely to matter most to you right now are ones who aren’t generally very important in your life. No one you consider family—either by blood or choice—is likely to figure too largely in the most significant events of the week. The ones to keep your eye on are those in close proximity—through work, mutual friends or other circumstances—but who you never (or rarely) think about. They’ve got stuff to say and things to do that will actually make quite a bit of difference in how you live your life in the next couple of weeks, for good or ill. So pay attention when they drop hints and clues. For once, they’re actually important.

You’re not usually obsessive, but you walk the line sometimes. Let’s just say that you’re incredibly persistent and consistent. These are often good qualities, but I bet you can name two areas where manifesting them isn’t exactly healthy or positive. You can see where I’m headed, can’t you? (We’ll add “astute” to your list of good traits.) This week, make a few minor but significant changes along these lines. This should be easy, since it involves relaxing and letting go—which you’re actually quite good at. You’ve simply never tried to ease up regarding these particular people or situations. Now, my dear, is the time to try.

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.

Screw modesty, selflessness and moderation. Yeah, that’s right. I know. I can’t believe I’m telling you this, either. Advising an Aries to throw all restraint to the winds is dangerous! Nevertheless, that’s exactly what I’m suggesting, especially when it comes to expressing your (perhaps belated) birthday wishes. You’re (astonishingly) likely to aim too low. You’ve got a gargantuan metaphorical credit limit with friends, family and coworkers right now—no money down, no interest. Don’t waste it by asking for lollipops and stickers. You’re not a kid anymore; you need some bigger (and yes, more expensive) toys.

HOLOHOLOGIRL

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

How Movies Shaped My Expectations of Men You’re not too smart, are you? I like that in a man.

- Matty Walker (Kathleen Turner) in Body Heat When I was just a wee lass, my little girlfriends and I would act out scenes from the movie Grease (1978) at every slumber party. We never tired of resuming the affected romanticism of Sandy (played by original Aussie queen Olivia Newton-John), and her persistent quest for hopelessly devoted summer lovin’. Weekend after weekend, we dozen girls would fight over who got to play Sandy. Somehow, I always ended up playing John Travolta’s Danny.

My point is that the lingering lesson of Grease on our impressionable minds was that there was really only one guy for you, but you first had to don the vinyl pants before he would lick your stilettos.

At the same time, I learned in Superman (1978) that strong, brave men who would save you from crumbling buildings and fly you through the moonlit sky in their arms were also most likely to wear tights and go limp in the presence of—now, what was it? A globally decimating natural disaster? A legion of skull-capped cannibalistic warriors? A really bad case of terminal dermatophytosis?—a pretty green rock.

M’kay.

But that led to the more “real” superhero version of men in the Indiana Jones series. And I will admit, Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) wins the title for Most Obsessively Watched Film of My Formative Years. Back then, what it taught me romantically was that a swashbuckling heman may rescue you from an elephant-sized golf ball rolling your way in the Amazon, but he will never stick around when there’s a classroom full of blushing collegiate girls waiting back home.

And so I entered a brief vampire movie phase. I watched all the classics, from Nosferatu (1922) to Love at First Bite (1979). Finally, in The Hunger (1983), Catherine Deneuve broke the age-old vampyric formula of submissive female succumbing to blood-sucking sexual alpha male by rapturously helping herself to the ample veins of Susan Sarandon. Go, girl!

Thus began an ardent cinematic “sexual exploration” phase, starting with the movie that brought ice cubes, cherry Jello and Vick’s cough syrup back into the bedroom—Nine 1/2 Weeks (1986). After seeing more of Zalman King’s cheesy erotic-noir films, like Two Moon Junction (1988), Wild Orchid (1990) and Red Shoe Diaries (1992), I was seduced by the soft-focus images of young, adventurous women on some sort of “journey,” haphazardly running into strange, emotionless men in the dark alleys of exotic locales. It was all the rage in the late-1980s: “sexual liberation” in lieu of romance.

But don’t get me wrong. Smutty can be intellectual, too. There were the heady indie flicks, like Dangerous Liaisons (1987), The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988), and Sex, Lies and Videotape (1989), showing men to be just as tortured and searching—and women as soulless and selfish—as their opposing gender stereotypes.

Of course, by the 1990s, this eroticism turned even darker, delving into the world of freaky fetishism. The kinky and depraved were on display in Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (1990), The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (1990), Boxing Helena (1992) and Crash (1996)—which is a movie that still disturbs me. But at least, in the ‘90s, men and women are on equal footing again.

Albeit, voluntarily amputated footing, but even so.

More recently, the films I’ve been seeing show a far more depressing reality. Movies like Unfaithful (2002), and last year’s We Don’t Live Here Anymore, as well as Academy-nominated Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Closer, douse love and sex with complications, deceptions, betrayal, ennui, pain and suffering—and the concerted, very “real” effort it takes to hang on to some semblance of happiness.

I have to admit that I find comfort in this new cinematic reality. I could never trust the plastic perfection of the chivalrous superheroes of my youth. Mysterious bad boys are highly overrated anyway. The pressure is officially off to be “Sandy.”

Now if you’ll excuse me, I must get back to watching Casablanca (1942). MTW
