We almost sat through an entire green light until I gave you a little courtesy honk. Then you gave me a courtesy wave back. I thought everything was okay, but then the girl in the passenger seat began frantically flipping me the bird. She did this for two blocks, until you finally turned left away from me.

‘Too Cutting Edge’

Lance’s Debut

Byron Sparks enjoys making believers from skeptics Not long ago I went to see Byron Sparks, who has a beautiful tattoo on his calf of a Chinese man showing the kidney meridian. I was feeling stressed and irritable. I wasn’t sleeping or eating properly, Basically, I felt uncomfortable in my skin.

After taking my pulses and thinking a few minutes, Sparks decided on a treatment. He told me that I was possessed, though it didn’t mean that I had demons in me.

“People can be possessed by substances or behaviors,” he said. “You just need this negative energy trapped in your cells to be released.”

Since coffee was my only drug of choice, I smirked at his diagnosis. I’m stubborn regarding any change in my life, and this was no different. But I let him proceed.

As each needle went in I found I could actually feel the chi or energy literally moving through its pathway. It was as if Sparks had opened the channels of energy in my body. I immediately felt at ease and open to my healing. After the session I felt

Cruise Control Vessel: Infinity Operator: Celebrity Cruises Complement: 2,032 Scheduled Maui Visit: May 26, 2005 Last Center for Disease Control Inspection: May 1, 2005 Score: 94 out of 100 While good, the 91,000-ton Infinity’s recent score actually represents a two-point drop from its previous inspection. The crew lost six points on just two, somewhat scary items. The first was that two mercury thermometers in the galley “were broken in the hot hold units,” reported the inspectors, who couldn’t resist chiding the crew. “The last inspection noted mercury thermometers in these units and the report cautioned against the use of said thermometers because of the risk of contaminating foods should the thermometers break.” Okay, mercury in the food equals a loss of three points. What about the other three? That would be “numerous flies were noted in the Lido Galley and pantries.” Classic.

Sparks: he sticks patients with more than a bill more stable and grounded than I had been in a long time. He continues to be my doctor to this day.

Acupuncture is one of the most ancient healing methods. Though its effects are sometimes unexplainable, it does seem to help with a variety of pathologies.

Sparks practices Traditional Chinese Medicine. He began 10 years ago after being fired from his job as an art director. “I was too cutting edge,” he told me.

When he came home there was a message on his answering machine advertising a free treatment at the Shiatsu school near his home.

Deciding it was a sign, Sparks signed up.

“I had clients who had cured themselves of things like cancer with something simple like changing their diet or taking herbs and it made me realize how simple and beautiful Traditional Chinese Medicine is,” he said.

“Body, mind and spirit are connected, so any imbalance in the body will effect the mind or spirit and likewise. The real beauty in this medicine is that it can treat psychospiritually as well as physically.”

Sparks divides his time between his private practice in Makawao and Northshore Chiropractic. He also performs acupuncture on a volunteer basis for the Maui AIDS Foundation every week.

“My work at the Maui AIDS Foundation is mainly centered on increasing immunity with

acupuncture and herbs but I end up treating the side effects from many medications they are on,” he said.

Sparks often combines bodywork with herbs and acupuncture in his sessions, which he said makes for a highly effective treatment. “When you just poke needles in people without any touch sometimes the client feels more guarded and may tense up which makes them resist the needle work,” he told me.

“I love what I do,” he said. “I have the best clients and a really great connection with them. It’s nice to be in a profession where you get to form relationships with your customers. I have met such a variety of people with many different conditions. A lot of them have never had acupuncture and aren’t too sure if it can help them. But I love making believers out of skeptics.” MTW

It’s interesting that in his first Liquor Control Adjudication Board hearing, rookie member Lance Collins sat next to the Board’s attorney, First Deputy Corporation Counsel Tracy Fujita Villarosa. At times, he almost seemed to be more interested in her job than his own.

In more ways than one, Collins proved himself a radical departure from your typical Board of Adjudication Board Member. He’s just 24 but holds a Juris Doctor law degree.

He’s a failed County Council candidate. He understands philosophy.

Right away, Collins distanced himself from the usual Adjudication procedure by asking the attorney for Maui-Molokai Sea Cruises—up on multiple charges of allowing minors to consume alcohol—what he considered to be a fair penalty. The refreshing question took everyone back.

Then Board Chairman Shigeto “Mustard” Murayama gave the impression that “because Lance is new,” the Board wouldn’t make it a habit to ask that question again.

But in the next case, against Idini’s for allegedly over-serving a drunk, Collins ridiculed attorney Steven Songstad’s request for a delay on the grounds that his client had been denied “due process” in regards to the names of witnesses the Prosecuting Attorney was preparing to call.

Then Collins made a disturbing motion for the Board to go into “executive session” with Villarosa to discuss their options. Such a discussion should have been held in public—as it has been many times in the past.

But when the session ended and Idini’s returned with a settlement offer to plead guilty, Collins began questioning why Songstad was insisting in his final statement that the prosecution’s case had holes in it.

“Are we allowed to accept a guilty plea when he’s not actually pleading guilty?” Collins asked, pointing out that in trials defendants must admit guilt before pleading guilty.

The rest of the Board seemed lost by his question, but then Prosecuting Attorney Angela Hedge explained that the whole defendant’s final statement was really just a formality. “In sentencing [at Adjudication Board hearings], you can say whatever you want,” she said.

He’s learning. MTW

MAUICOUNTY While our beloved Republican Governor Linda Lingle is shilling Hawaiian tourism to the incredibly bureaucratic and repressive Chinese government—Communist authoritarian or not, they’ve got the creditor side of our massive trade deficit—our Republican Mayor Alan Arakawa is working hard to bring Kyoto here. Of course, I’m speaking of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol— that detailed list of ways industrialized nations can cut greenhouse gas emissions to reduce global warming. Arakawa is the 139th mayor to sign the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. “With escalating oil prices worldwide, this gives us an opportunity to start exploring options that were too expensive before,” Arakawa told The Maui News. Now Arakawa’s action is a bit unusual for a Republican, considering that President George W. Bush has long opposed Kyoto. And nothing summed up our fearless leader’s thinking better than his quote to the Washington Post way back on April 24, 2001: “First, we would not accept a treaty that would not have been ratified, nor a treaty that I thought made sense for the country.”

THURSDAY, MAY 19 Here’s reason #352 on why being a lawmaker totally kicks ass: exemption from public records laws. The Associated Press reported today that Susan Jaworowski, the attorney for the state Senate Democrats, has advised her clients that they don’t have to release jack to the public, even if someone wants to see letters on official Hawai’i State Senate letterhead. The state Office of Information Practices disagrees, but admits that they have no power to compel the release of such documents… Twentysix-year-old former Maui Time Weekly contributing writer Gannon Gilmore man-

aged to get himself into the history books by being the first guy in line at the Maui Mall to see Revenge of the Sith, according to today’s Maui News. Hey, speaking of Maui’s paper of record, someone needs to step up and explain the following headline: “Chief angry repeat felon was loose.” There’s no way I’m going to get sleep tonight, wondering about things like how the angry repeat felons go about choosing their chief and whether there’s such a person as a chief happy repeat felon.

FRIDAY, MAY 20 Checked today’s email and found that with great fanfare and bravado Governor Linda Lingle has announced that she has released $821,000 in state funds so Lahainaluna High School can finally get a working fire alarm. “The new fire alarm system at Lahainaluna High School will help ensure the safety of students, teachers and staff in the event of a fire,” Lingle is quoted as saying, boldly glossing over the fact that the students, teachers and staff remain in a school completely lacking a workable fire alarm. And it’s not like people just realized that a high school was in such trouble. In fact, the fire alarm issue came up during the Mar. 17, 2005 Governor’s Maui Advisory Committee Meeting. “The project will start when school ends in June,” read the official minutes. “It was mention[ed] if this was a new school the Fire Department [would] not allow this school to open.” But now that’s all being taken of, leaving the state free to deal with Lahainaluna’s next most pressing problem: drinkable water.

empire in history and Hawai’i is stuck programming computer games?

MONDAY, MAY 23 Enough talk of Abercrombie and his meager haul of war pork. What about our own congressman, U.S. Representative Ed Case (D, 2nd District)? Looks like he’s taking some heat, too, for his proposal to convert 137,000 square miles of the Northwest Hawaiian Islands into a marine refuge. Now, that’s a huge refuge—it’s 12,000 square miles larger than Norway. And because it would be a “refuge,” there would be no fishing in the zone.

And that would be bad, says the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council in today’s Advertiser. They’d much rather have the archipelago designated a “sanctuary,” which would allow some bottom fishing to continue. “We’re talking about 112,000 square miles of ocean and only a few boats,” Council Executive Director Kitty Simonds told the Advertiser. “These boats do not harm the habitat.”

tary-industrial complex bucks just flying out of Congress, and we have Representative Neil Abercrombie (D, 1st District) to thank for it. According to today’s Honolulu Advertiser, Abercrombie convinced his colleagues on the U.S. House Armed Services Committee to give a measly $32.2 million in war pork to our state’s valiant defense contractors. The big winners included Honolulu-based Atlantis Cyberspace, Inc., which got $3 million to develop some Starship Troopers-type computer simulator for infantry. Oceanit Defense Systems over in Waimea scored $5 million to “continue developing technology” to detect missile launches. And Kaneohe-based Alaka’i Consulting and Engineering got $3 million for “research” into remotely detecting explosives. Now come on! Where’s the big aircraft carrier building contracts? The new stealth cruise missile program? What’s going on—the U.S. has become the most powerful

Broke down and saw Revenge of the Sith at the Maui Mall last night. Who wouldn’t like a movie about a good republic that gets twisted into an evil empire? But then this morning I read the latest issue of the Federation of American Scientists’ Secrecy News. The newsletter contains a brief on a May 18 Congressional Research Service (CRS) report on “quasi governments”—so-called public-private hybrids that are all the rage these days across the U.S. They maximize things like “results” while eliminating quaint notions like “public accountability.” The report was less than reassuring. “There is nothing modest about the size, scope, and impact of the quasi government,” wrote the CRS. “Time will tell whether the emergence of the quasi government is to be viewed as a symptom of decline in our democratic government, or the harbinger of a new, creative management era where the purported artificial barriers between the governmental and private sectors are breached as a matter of principle.”

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD DIVINE FASTING Eating disorders have such a hold on many young women that some Internet sites glorify anorexia and bulimia as a quasi-divinity, using religious language to command obedience to a goddess of thinness known as “Ana,” according to a May story in the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Said one Minnesota college freshman, “Ana is definitely a higher power, not higher than God, but higher than myself.” There are Ana prayers, Ana psalms and Ana commandments. One site has instructions for a ritual at an altar, culminating in a blood contract “with the anorexia deity.” An Arizona doctor reported that a 13-year-old anorexia patient suddenly spoke “an incantation, like a hex, as if to scare me off.”

THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT Almost ready for release is Spanish designer Pep Torres’ “Your Turn” washing machine, developed to encourage sharing of housework. Household users, such as a husband and wife, initially register their fingerprints, and Your Turn will not then operate by the same person’s print twice in a row. Another product, still in development, is Briton James Larsson’s use of liedetector technology on restaurant utensils so that socially incompetent diners can better gauge how their dinner dates feel about them, by measuring stress as they eat. Reasoned Larsson, “Geeks have major challenges dating.”

The check was for $1, but Siles had badly obliterated the amount and written in “$4,000,000.00.” Furthermore, she believed that she could cash a check for that amount at a neighborhood check-cashing shop. Instead, the clerk alerted authorities. The job was so pitifully done that in March 2005, a judge gave her only a suspended sentence and probation.

Personal vs. Office Politics How your vote can get you fired You arrive at work early, work hard and leave late. You’re quiet, respectful and well liked. You keep your nose clean: when someone brings up politics, you’re smart enough to shut up or walk away. You wouldn’t want to say anything that might annoy one of your coworkers.

Once you get home, though, you get to be yourself: a committed political activist.

You work the phone bank at Republocratic headquarters, update your blog with scathing takedowns of opposing politicians and chat up your neighbors to urge

employment.” Only five states, he says, ban political firings. Even contractors that earn income from the government are exempt, as are private offices, shops, restaurants and factory floors—where 85 percent of Americans work.

Last year’s presidential election campaign first exposed the problem. Lynne Gobbell’s boss fired her from her job after she refused his demand that she remove the KerryEdwards bumpersticker from her car. “I would like to find another job, but I would take that job back because I need to work,” she told the Decatur paper. “It upset me and made me mad

them to vote for your favorite candidates.

But when you clock back in, you leave it at the door. You’re cool. One morning, your boss calls you into her office. “It has come our attention that you’re a Republocrat,” she says. “We don’t want your type working here. Gather your things and get out.

You’re fired.”

Can she do that? Are your political opinions your employer’s business? It depends on the state.

My friend’s employer recently gave “Jackie” (not her real name) a choice: give up her political blog or be fired. She lives in Florida, where labor laws prohibit discrimination based on sex or affliction with sickle-cell anemia—but not political expression. Lida Rodriguez-Taseff, head of the Miami chapter of the ACLU says: “The [Florida] law is pretty clear that a private employer can fire someone based on their political speech even when that political speech does not affect the terms and conditions of employment.”

If Jackie lived in California or New York, she could sue her boss merely for even threatening her with dismissal. Unless you’re spending your free time working for the violent overthrow of the government, those states protect a worker’s right to political speech outside the workplace.

(Companies may ban some workers, such as store clerks, from wearing political buttons or campaigning during work hours.)

But only five states have laws protecting workers’ offsite political speech.

Residents of the other 45 states get no help from federal law. “Do not think you’re protected by the First Amendment,” says Lewis Maltby of the National Workrights Institute. “It doesn’t apply to private

that he could put a letter in my check expressing his (political) opinion, but I can’t put something on my car expressing mine.”

Coworkers confirm that the company attached a pro-Bush letter to paychecks.

He has that right under Tennessee law.

On the other side of the left-right divide, Playgirl magazine fired editor Michele Zipp after she wrote an article “admitting” that she was a Republican. “I wouldn’t have hired you if I knew you were a Republican,” Zipp quoted a Playgirl executive. As a New Yorker, she can sue for damages.

Liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, every American is entitled to his or her political opinions. But unless you’re so wealthy that you can afford not to work, what good is the right to free speech if your employer can fire you for using it—even after working hours?

Our hodgepodge of conflicting state labor laws highlights the absurdity of the situation.

Why can the leftover “W ‘04” sticker on your car get you canned in Florida but not in California? How can the United States bring democracy to the Middle East while allowing American citizens to be fired for how they vote?

Extending national protection to outsidethe-workplace political expression is something that even Democrats and Republicans in this highly partisan Congress ought to be able to agree upon. Neither party wants its supporters to lose their jobs. The obvious remedy is to add the protection of political speech to the list of activities and identifiers already covered under current federal labor laws: whistle blowing, race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, etc. Only then will we truly be a nation that values and protects free speech.

By the way, Jackie has ended her blog. In the town where she lives, jobs are hard to find.

James Ballao, left, with a student from the 2003 Festival of Canoes James Ballao likes to say that learning means more than just paper and pencils at the desk. Needless to say, his Baldwin High School students really appreciate that approach to teaching social studies.

“I like to use geneaology with the kids to tie history to their lives,” he says. “‘What was your great, great, great, great, great grandfather doing?’ I ask them. What was it like during his time? Then I turn it around and say, ‘what kind of world are your great grandchildren going to live in?’”

Part of his social studies curriculum for the last four years has focused on the canoe. More specifically, on the International Festival of Canoes held in Lahaina every May. Five years ago Ballao was just a bystander. He says he was awed by the event, especially the fact that Lahainaluna kids were carving and participating. Then he ended up talking story with local Lahaina activist Ke’eaumoku Kapu about getting the Wailuku side kids involved. He introduced Ballao to event organizer Theo Morrison and then they went from there.

Ballao says he’s always had an affinity for the canoe. “I had a book on canoes I took out of the library as a kid and I just loved it,” he says. “I think ended up forgetting to ever return that book. I never had any experience carving a canoe but I had a great calling towards it.”

It was that passion for hands-on learning that four years ago led him to Mike Tavioni, a master carver from the Cook Islands. Today, Ballao heads the Baldwin

High carving team, sponsored this year by the Maui Marriott.

The team has been working on a Hawaiian opelu canoe. Built for fishing, its hull is deeper and wider than that of a racing canoe. Charlie Noland, an experienced carver who also sits on the festival committee, is guiding the crew.

Finding kids to participate was easy, but Ballao found that getting time off school was more difficult. Getting the kids to the carving team required taking them out of school for the two weeks needed to complete and launch the canoes. But Ballao says that many of his colleagues support the event.

“Some teachers even bring their students down to see the progress here,” he says. “I really have to thank my principal, Stephen Yamada, for allowing us the opportunity to be here, too.”

Joining Ballao this year for the first time is his long time friend Alex Ishikawa, a teacher at Maui Youth and Family Services. Ishikawa’s involvement meant that the team could include students from that program as well.

Basically, their idea is to spread the word about canoe carving in an attempt to get as many students as possible to participate.

Ballao’s personal goal for the festival is having all the schools send an apprentice team.

“Creating a bridge from the past to the future is what it’s all about,” says Ballao. “If the kids can learn the past and add it to the present to build their future then I have done my job. Wouldn’t it be awesome to see the master carvers from all the different island nations training teams from all the schools on Maui?” MTW

Now Playing Everywhere Can a movie at the MACC help us experience war? by Anthony Pignataro

MAY 26, 2005

COVER STORY

For the first time in nearly two generations, war has become a daily focus for Americans. Every day it’s in the papers and on the nightly news. And with good reason: since Mar. 19, 2003, 1,600 U.S. troops have died in Iraq—at a rate of slightly more than two per day. More than 12,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines have been wounded. No one knows how many Iraqis have died, but the best estimates top 22,000.

Sent to topple dictator Saddam Hussein’s murderous regime and neutralize his supposed weapons of mass destruction, the U.S Army and Marine Corps have instead become guardians of a disintegrating state wracked by ethnic divisions, murderous sectarian violence and a jihadist insurgency. There is no end in sight or timetable for U.S. withdrawal.

Gunner Palace is a new documentary that represents the latest attempt to show civilian audiences what it’s like to fight this war. It’s played on the Mainland to rave reviews. It’s a gritty, tragic, humorous and compelling portrayal of young soldiers caught in a bloody maelstrom few stateside understand or care about. The hour and a half documentary screens here for the first time at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center on June 1 as part of the Maui Film Festival’s Wednesday film series.

“I walked into Gunner Palace in September 2003 with a simple desire to tell the soldiers’ story—to capture what we didn’t see on the news,” said director Michael Tucker. “To do so, I left my personal opinions and my preconceptions about the war at the gate and tried to get as close to the subject as possible. I looked at the subject not as news, but as living history; an experience, not an event.”

Palace focuses on soldiers of the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment’s 2nd Battalion—trained to fire big howitzers and cannons—who’ve been cannibalized into infantrymen. At the time of filming they were based in one of Uday Hussein’s ostentatious though bomb-damaged palaces in the heart of Baghdad—a strangely luxurious backdrop for an already surreal war.

Tucker joined the unit four months after President George W. Bush stood on the deck of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln and said, “Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.” As we all now know, 1,500 U.S. servicemen and women have died in Iraq since then and another 10,000 or so have been wounded in what the soldiers of Gunner Palace deride as “minor combat operations.”

The documentary is considered intensely

realistic, so much so that Tucker fought the Motion Picture Association of America’s (MPAA) January 2005 ruling that the film’s numerous instances of soldiers saying “fuck”— probably the most common word uttered on the battlefield—it would be Rated R. Tucker wanted a PG-13 rating so young people could see it before reaching enlistment age.

On Feb. 24, Tucker got his wish. The MPAA Appeals Board voted 9-3 to re-rate Palace PG-13. Even teens, the movie industry’s most powerful lobbying arm seemed to admit, would benefit from seeing actual combat footage.

One of the first to attempt an extended filming of the American combat infantrymen’s life was John Laurence of CBS News. In 1970—five years into the Vietnam War—he, two cameramen and a soundman began traveling with a unit of the 2nd Battalion of the 7th Cavalry Regiment. It was a storied outfit that achieved fame by being massacred at Little Big Horn in 1876 and was then nearly wiped out again 89 years at the Ia

Drang valley in Vietnam’s Central Highlands.

Laurence’s resulting documentary, The World of Charlie Company, won every major broadcast award in 1971.

“If we spent enough time with one small unit, a squad perhaps, the soldiers might trust us enough to talk honestly about the war,” Laurence wrote in his 2002 memoirs The Cat from Hué. “Some of the soldiers in the squad might be wounded or killed. And that, we believed, would give viewers a measure of individual human loss in the war.”

At first, Laurence got more resistance from his bosses at CBS than the army, which initially loved the idea, though they insisted on picking the unit Laurence and his crew would document. Still, they went to great lengths to help—at one point, senior officers even offered to delay rotating out the company commander if Laurence thought the move would harm the continuity of his film.

At first, things went well. The soldiers— many of which were draftees who chose serving in Vietnam instead of fleeing to Canada or going to jail—loved having the CBS crew

around. After the novelty of having a camera crew trail them wore off, the soldiers freely talked of how they hated the war, had no idea why they were still fighting and resolved to avoid killing. But when Laurence filed an Evening News report about how the unit had balked at a new commander’s order to walk down a road—their previous commander had drilled into them that such actions invariably led to ambushes—the Army freaked out.

Commanders began asking for editorial changes in Laurence’s reports, which he refused. Then they ruled that no news organization could visit troops in the field without a public information officer. When Laurence ditched his assigned handler, the Army banned him from returning to Charlie Company barely three weeks after they arrived.

There’s no question Laurence and his crew produced an extraordinary portrait of war, but Laurence’s memoirs show he left a lot out. At one point early in the project, Laurence wrote in The Cat from Hué that he found himself in the middle of a surreal drug-fueled party, complete with rock music and the playful fir-

ing of live ammunition into the brush. None of it appeared in his documentary.

For 24 years following the CBS project, the Pentagon banned reporters from getting anywhere near combat units. Then a few months before the Iraq invasion, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld suddenly lifted the restriction and allowed the press to “embed” themselves with soldiers and marines.

The Public Broadcasting news magazine Frontline took advantage of those new rules.

Their hour-long documentary A Company of Soldiers aired Feb. 22 (you can watch it at www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline).

This new documentary chronicled the life of the 8th Cavalry Regiment’s headquarters support company throughout November, 2004.

Whereas Laurence filmed draftees openly wearing peace symbols and cursing the Army, the Frontline crew found professional, regular army volunteers who strongly supported their presence and mission in Iraq.

Normally a rear-area unit manning desks, the realities of the Iraqi counter-insurgency war converted them to a combat unit hunting insurgents in armored Humvees and manning checkpoints. Though operating in an urban environment, one soldier says on camera that the troops can “never fully relax.”

Like the Vietnam troops filmed by CBS, these soldiers play chess when back at their base, worry about their loved ones back home and try to get on as best as they can as their friends are killed and wounded. “[W]e were left to our own devices and allowed to film everything, with no restrictions,” wrote co-producer Edward Jarvis on the Frontline website. “We selected the unit we wanted to be with and we chose those whom we wanted to film.”

Jarvis added that the crew’s “embedding agreement” required them to show the completed film to the Pentagon before broadcast, but for “security clearance only.

“Their only request was blur the name of an intelligence officer named in a document which appears briefly in the film,” wrote Jarvis. “Everything else is a faithful documentation of this company of soldiers during the month we spent with them last November.”

Faithful, that is, except where language is concerned. Worried about trouble from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Frontline actually offered an edited version of its documentary to the 170 PBS affiliates around the country. Fearing a backlash from the notorious anti-“smut” FCC, most went with the clean version.

realities of war.

“You can never do it,” he said. “The only way is to fire live ammo over the heads of the people in the movie theater.”

Eugene B. Sledge knew that well. A freshman in college when he joined the U.S. Marines in late 1942, Sledge fought in two of the bloodiest battles of the Pacific War. His 1981 memoirs With the Old Breed—based on a secret diary he kept during the war in defiance of Marine Corps regulations—illustrate the absolute impossibility of conveying the full wartime experience to an audience sitting in an air-conditioned home or theater.

As Sledge made clear, horror was everywhere in the Pacific during the war. Neither side thought the other was completely human,

“Because the Japanese was kicking his feet and thrashing about, the knife point glanced off the tooth and sank deeply into the victim’s mouth,” wrote Sledge. “The Marine cursed him and with a slash cut his cheeks open ear to ear.

He put his foot on the sufferer’s lower jaw and tried again. Blood poured out of the soldier’s mouth… Another Marine ran up, put a bullet in the enemy soldier’s brain, and ended his agony.

The scavenger grumbled and continued extracting his prizes undisturbed.”

The problems presented to a documentary producer by such a scene are staggering. But that assumes troops would simply let a civilian film crew document their atrocities.

And that begs a whole new round of questions: Do troops in the field act differently in

“I existed from moment to moment, sometimes thinking death would have been preferable. We were in the depths of the abyss, the ultimate horror of war.” and each acted accordingly. Japanese soldiers considered prisoners dishonored. They starved, beat and killed them with a ferocity that made the Nazi treatment of American prisoners seem gentle.

On the American side, soldiers and marines collected the skulls of Japanese soldiers killed in action—even mounted them on the hoods of Jeeps. The barbaric practice became so widespread that Washington had to issue an official ban.

Consider the following incident from the battle for Pelelieu, in which Sledge watched a fellow member of Tom Brokaw’s “Greatest Generation” use his kabar knife to extract a gold tooth from a living prisoner:

the presence of a film camera? Is it possible for them to forget there’s a camera watching them? Are the images we’re watching authentic or played up for visual effect?

For the sake of argument, let’s say a camera was able to record Sledge’s buddy plunging his knife into a prisoner’s jaw without his realizing it. But even if an audience is willing to sit through it, they still won’t have a completely “realistic” view of war.

That’s because the true nature of war transcends visual imagery. War degrades, desensitizes and demeans. War is long periods of boredom in which nothing whatsoever happens. War is an indeterminate yet unmistakable smell of black powder, rot, sweat, garbage and decay.

During the bloody battle for Okinawa in 1945, Sledge and his unit found themselves pinned down for days in a muddy wasteland.

All around them were maggots feasting equally on the corpses of dead Americans and Japanese.

“The stench of death was overpowering,” Sledge wrote 36 years later. “The only way I could bear the mon-

strous horror of it all was to look upward away from the earthly reality surrounding us, watch the leaden gray clouds go skudding over, and repeat over and over to myself that the situation was unreal—just a nightmare—that I would soon awake and find myself somewhere else… I existed from moment to moment, sometimes thinking death would have been preferable. We were in the depths of the abyss, the ultimate horror of war.”

Both Frontline’s A Company of Soldiers and Gunner Palace have earned rave reviews across the political spectrum.

Unlike John Laurence’s Charlie Company, the current documentaries on Iraq are completely bereft of politics. They make no judgment on the merits of the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

If done well, war documentaries like these appeal to all sides. Pacifists see in them evidence of good, young men sent far away to risk death for hazy goals while jingoists see the same men performing an ancient duty honorably and professionally.

The flaw in that arrangement is that the soldiers on screen become arbitrary pawns bereft of any ideology at all. Anyone who’s seen Das Boot already knows this—that movie is so compelling most people forget they’re sympathizing with a Nazi U-Boat crew.

But war is political. Politics—specifically President George W. Bush’s promise to destroy the “stockpiles” of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons he insisted Saddam Hussein was hiding—sent a couple hundred thousand men and women to Iraq. And politics will keep those soldiers there for many years to come— weapons of mass destruction or not.

Gunner Palace runs 89 minutes and is Rated PG-13. It will show Wednesday, June 1 at 5 p.m. and again at 7:30 p.m. at the MACC’s Castle Theater in Kahului. Tickets $10. For more information, call 572-3456. MTW

Documentaries like Gunner Palace provide superb snapshots of soldiers in the field, but they have limitations. Sam Fuller, who directed the outstanding war movie The Big Red One and fought in Europe during World War II, thought movies and film documentaries could never capture the true

BY RANDALL WONG

Enjoying Island Favorites At the Pukalani Country Club It was a Wednesday afternoon when my friend and I sat on our boards in the calm waters off the Olowalu coast.

With all the hype of a forecasted south swell, we expected a little more than trite conversation with other hopeful surfers. After several hours of disappointing sets, I proposed the idea of heading back upcountry and getting some food at the Pukalani Country Club. He accepted. The prospect of having some good food somewhat redeemed the delinquent waves.

Pukalani Country Club 360 Pukalani Rd., Pukalani, 572-1325. $$ We headed in, dried off and shook away the sand as best we could. Forty-five minutes later, we pulled into the parking lot. Our shorts were still wet and sand clung to our bodies as we walked in.

The host greeted us casually, as if they were expecting us. The Country Club is a familiar place for nearly all Upcountry residents.

Just five minutes from any point in Pukalani, the club and restaurant is a second home and a staple of the community. You’re almost always sure to run into someone you know.

We sat at a table near the entrance of the long house-shaped room. Large windows occupied the west-facing wall, allowing a nice view of the West Maui Mountains and the Kahului flatland.

Directly below the windows lay the 18th green. If you go during the day, you can watch golfers attempt to end their round on a good stroke here. It often provides some humor or at least a little light conversation.

I soaked in the ambiance. Nothing too fancy, a picture here and there and Hawaiian music playing on the stereo.

Every time I come here, I feel relaxed and comfortable, with little to distract

me from my food and company. Just like home—without the dirty dishes.

The menu here is simple, full of island favorites. If you need your fix of kalua pig ($8.50), lomi salmon ($5.75), poi ($3.35) or saimin ($6.50), this is the place for you. It’s also one of the few establishments I know of that serves these dishes on a regular basis with superior service and quality.

When our server came by, my friend ordered the Pan Fried Breaded Mahi Mahi ($11.75). I went with the Lau Lau Plate ($11).

The plate dishes come with a choice of rice or poi (I always go with the poi), soup, haupia and a sliver of Kula onion with chili pepper water and sea salt. These plates are reasonably priced from $8 to $12.

If you’re in the mood for something lighter or healthier, you can always opt for the salad bar. The Country Club is one of the few places I know of that offers this amenity.

Waiting, my friend and I began chatting about what we would do the next day.

Before we could get into it, our food arrived.

After that, our lips moved, but no words were spoken.

At first, the portions appeared small. The lau lau was a little smaller than a tennis ball, but it came with a nice bowl of poi. I was done within a matter of minutes. I guess I tend to have an appetite after returning from the beach.

My hunger satiated but not overindulged, I sat back and waited while my companion finished. His mahi looked good as well, but I declined a sample when he offered.

I peered out the wall of windows. The sun was dipping below the West Maui Mountains, casting shadows over the island. I was feeling the fatigue of a long day and a fulfilling meal.

We talked a little more about what was going on during the weekend.

Nothing much was the consensus. Then we parted ways, making plans to test the waters again. Maybe at Ma’alaea next time, or perhaps Big Beach. The swell was supposed to last for several more days. MTW

EMPLOYEE OF THE

WEEK AS TOLD TO GABRIELLE POCCIA

Michele Sacay Pizza cook/server at Bada Bing Every time I walk into Bada Bing I feel like I am home. It’s kind of like a second home to me.

I just get a really warm and friendly vibe from the place. I feel so welcomed that I sometimes eat there on my days off.

I started working as a cook three years ago then moved to hostess and now have been a server for about three months. Many of the employees work both in the kitchen and on the floor. I liked hostessing but serving is definitely better because I make more money.

Working at the restaurant is a full-time job and it keeps me pretty busy. I usually work five days a week but every so often I will work six days when necessary. I try to help out whenever they need me.

My time is split pretty evenly between cooking pizza and serving tables. The mix of the two is great because some days I can be in my own world, make pizza and avoid any stress that comes from dealing with fussy people. Then on other days I work out on the floor and have a great time with the customers and my co-workers.

I moved to Maui eight years ago from the Big Island because I got a bit bored and felt like I needed a change. I live in Kihei and I really love it here. Maui is wonderful. I have worked at several other restaurants on the island but for me Bada Bing is the best. It’s where I belong.

We don’t have a frequent turnover of employees and so we all know each other pretty well. My coworkers are like family. The managers are so great and very understanding, and owners are really down to earth. Who could ask for more? MTW

DEBORAH LEE GALESI

LADY IN WAITING

(OIL ON LINEN & WOOD, 15.75 X 11.8125)

INFINITE DANCE OF BLISS

DEBORAH LEE GALESI, having lived various lives between the Universe and Mother Earth, is born once a gain, in Paterson, New Jersey, U.S.A. As a small child, she discovered a great love for oil painting, and was encouraged by her teacher to follow this strong passion. Eleanor Egg was her first private art instructor. After some years, Deborah graduated from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in art and psychology. Then continuing her private lessons with Maestro Raymond Whyte and Maestro Gene Scarpentoni, from the “Art Student’s League,” New York City, she was able to show her work in New York, Colorado, New Jersey and France.

Her work is collected privately in the United States, France, Japan, Italy and Mexico.

Deborah taught for some years in the U.S.A. and after Meastro Gene Scarpentoni’s death, she travelled all over Europe in search of a new Maestro. She found herself in Florence, Italy, and as she continued her artistic path, Deborah began studying at Villa Schifanoia, but not to her satisfaction. Therefore, she happily found herself as an apprentice with ben Long, a student of Annigoni specializing in portraits. Today, Deborah shows us various styles in her work: Conceptual, Impressionism, Symbolism, Naif, Fantatique, New Realism, and/or Surrealism depending on her spiritual moments. Thus, her paintings are based on the vibrations received from places or lifetimes, or from places or lifetimes, or from space without time. In reality, since childhood, Deborah has always been attracted to Florence by the magical energy of the Renaissance, which allowed her to know her inner self more fully. Deborah’s paintings transmit many messages for humanity, so that humanity may remember the true fundamental values of love, life and nature. Her art captures the invisible world and metamorphosis, essential and important. These are the keys to believing in our dreams.

Deborah’s aspirations and dreams have always been to live in a New Renaissance (Rebirth) with balance. She decided to call the “Avanti! Sempre Avanti!” She launched an International L’Atelier in which we can get a creative vortex of energy flowing for working together and far apart in harmony, love, brotherhood and sisterhood.

The artist, Deborah Lee Galesi, now resides in the state of Hawaii on the Island of Maui. After getting married and spending several years remodeling her home, the fine artist is ready to share her work with her native country, the United States of America.

Deborah Lee Galesi has recently returned to the Islands from a very successful show in New York. The following article was published in the Gallery & Studio Magazine (written by critic, Maurice Taplinger).

MAY 26, 2005

DA KINE CALENDAR

of the centerpieces of Deborah Lee Galesi’s recent solo exhibition at the 584 location of Montserrat Gallery (which will include her work in its year-round OsalonneBroadway on moving to its new space in Chelsea), was a large oil on canvas called “Look Inside,” which took its inspiration from the biblical Psalm 23: ”You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.”

The painting presented a kind of freeform contemporary version of The Last Supper, populated by an eclectic cast of characters, some in fill color, others in grisaille, representing several nationalities. They were gathered around a circular table split down the middle, as if by an earthquake, its pyramidal opening revealing a rainbow-vibrant realm of cosmic phenomena, mountain ranges,m waterfalls, winding rivers and verdant foliage. Within this vast visionary landscape, which could represent an earthly Paradise, a woman in native dress bathed an infant in shallow water, while white swans glided along, porpoises left through the air in formation, and a luminous angel waded nearby. For all its multilayered imagistic complexity, as the title “Look Inside” suggests, the message of the painting seemed profoundly simple: Look past the conference tables where bargains are struck between government leaders and politicians negotiating the fate of humanity to one’s own inner being, where the real truth of existence lies within easy reach.

One of the things that makes Galesi’s work do fascinating is her willingness to take risks that would daunt a less intrepid painter, as seen in another large canvas called “Infinite Quantum Leap: Infinite Possibilities,” which has become an emblematic work of her career, having been repeatedly reproduced in the Village Voice and other publications.

In this composition a prehistoric hunter and another figure who appears to be a medieval knight brandishing a long sword ride the back of a fire-breathing dinosaur, while a huge wave of water whooshes up behind the huge creature like a jet-trail, a white dolphin discernible within its white foam. And far be it for Galesi to stop there: the figure of a shaman sitting in the lotus position holding a ceremonial staff and a sort of sparkler god with luminous, wiggling rays emanating from his entire body can be seen levitating in the deep, nocturnal darkness surrounding the main figures!

In this large oil, too, the artist appears to be paying tribute to indigenous inspirations and imparting wisdom channels from the ancients. Yet the real triumph, in strictly aesthetic terms, is how successfully Galesi balances all of these disparate images within a composition that goes far beyond the efforts of other international Neo-Expressionists in her all-out willingness to share the truth of her experience with the viewer. For Galesi, a native of Patterson, New Jersey, this means calling upon the technical skills that she honed at the Art Students League in New York City and during a long periods of study in Florence, Italy, where she soaked up the methods of the Renaissance masters who were her earliest inspiration, in order to make every image that she paints a palpable representation of her inner quality.

This a complex undertaking indeed, since Galesi’s inner reality is fed by a variety of esoteric sources, which include her fascination with everything from Native American Culture to the art of the Etruscans and the ancient Egyptians, as well as the New Age theories of

(OIL 48.125 C 48.125)

Deepak Chopra, among any number of other passing interests which invariably find their way to her pictures. An image especially emblematic of Galesi’s spiritual path is the oil on canvas she calls “Infinite Dance of Bliss,” in which a figure that appears to be a symbolic self-portrait floats above a volcanic landscape in a stratosphere where smaller beings of pure light seem to surf on streams of purplish illumination emanating from the stars. Here, on a canvas whose perfectly symmetrical square format enhances the composition’s sense of infinite space, is a vision of transcendence to rival those of no less delightfully daft a British visionary than the great William Blake! And while this could seem an enterprise fraught with peril for a contemporary painter, Galesi possesses both the technical skill and the spiritual conviction to make the painting succeed.

Even more startling in conceptual terms, yet just as successful in its own manner is the large oil called “Swept Away by the Dolphin Vortex,” in which a dolphin with the body of a woman rises like a Botticelli Venus out of the sea, set against a watery swirl that gives Galesi the opportunity to flaunt her virtuoso painterly skills in one of her boldest, most dazzlingly Expressionistic compositions to date.

Deborah Lee Galesi has already amassed an impressive exhibition history around the country and in various places abroad: France, Japan, Australia and particularly Italy, where she is especially esteemed. She has also exhibited in New York City in the past. However, the sheer range and scope of her most recent solo show at Montserrat Gallery (which included many more paintings than those described here, among them smaller works such as the pensive nude “Solitude,” presenting a more intimate side of her talent) seemed to make is a landmark in her career.

Back at the Drive-In Saturday, 5:30 p.m. at MCC [FILM] I realized this morning, as I sat on my porch listening to the birds chirp, smelling the flowers and wearing a big daffy grin, that the whimsy of the hot summer is upon us. It is high time to take advantage—time to get out the grills and the floaties, take a dip… oh, and you know what else you can do? Go to the drive-in! Now it doesn’t get much more whimsical than that.

This Saturday, MauiFEST Hawai’i and Maui Community College will be hosting not one but three films, along with live music by Uncle Boy Kanae and friends. Plus, there’ll be a special appearance by Sam Sushi and Pulehu BBQ. Yummm… I love it when they show up places! So you can listen to some tunes, go to the food booths and then veg in your car and watch The Incredibles—that animated flick about a crime fighter turned insurance adjuster.

They’re also showing Bhutan, a preview of Tom Vendetti’s film on the country of, well, Bhutan (soon to air on CBS) and The Devil at 4 O’clock, a Frank Sinatra/Spencer Tracy adventure movie shot on Maui in 1961. It’s about a convict and a priest-turned-alcoholic who are trying to finish the chapel at a leper hospital before the volcano erupts.

They just don’t make stories like that anymore! And who doesn’t like seeing Frank in his prime? Good stuff! Plus, it’s only five bucks—don’t bother with the math—that’s $20 bucks for you, three friends and a car. Sweet. Gates open at 5:30pm at Maui Community College. [REESE QUICK]

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

The Other Canoe Exhibit

Summer Sunsplash

Now through June 5 at the Schaefer International Gallery

Friday, 6 p.m. at A&B Amphitheater

[ART/CULTURE] Standing at the edge of the water off the islands of Hawai’i, there is a sense of awe and respect for the vast sea that surrounds us. It’s even more humbling to know that a long time ago some very brave people looked from the opposite side of the ocean and decided to paddle out to see what could be found. Canoeing is part of all the Pacific cultures: the Northwest Coast, Hawai’i, Polynesia, Micronesia, New Zealand and Japan. The skill of carving and shaping canoes is ancient. Today people young and old are participating to keep the tradition alive. The MACC has made available a creative picture of this important part of Hawaiian culture, and has joined with the Lahainatown Action Committee in celebrating the tradition of the canoe.

Canoes, tools used in the making, and drums from the 2004 Canoe Festival will be displayed, as well as photos from last year’s events. The intimate black-and-white works of Maui photographer Masako Cordray (see LEFT) are featured. The exhibit is open Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is also open during Castle Theater shows and intermissions.

The admission is free and there’s really no reason not to stop by and take a glance.

Our Man in Cannes The lowdown on this coming year’s best films

MauiTime Weekly seeks Freelance writers to cover stimulating & in-depth community interest stories.

CANNES—Whether with dreams of familial contentment or with concealed intentions of greed and bloodlust, there was an overwhelmingly recurring theme of unpredictable characters inserted into family situations in the films at Cannes this year.

Although it played outside of competition Match Point was the festival favorite.

In Woody Allen’s first foray into a London-set story Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays an opportunistic former tennis pro who marries into an upper crust British family with the idea of stealing Scarlett Johansson away from his new brother-inlaw. When murder enters into the equation the movie hits a diminished minor chord that resonates well against Allen’s Crimes And Misdemeanors.

L’Enfant (Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne), the winner of this year’s Palme d’Or, presents the audience with a challenging teenaged protagonist in the guise of Bruno (Jeremie Renier) a French street criminal who’s recently fathered a son by his immature but loving girlfriend Sonia (Deborah Francios). The film delivers a sucker punch when the seemingly attentive Bruno spontaneously decides to sell the couple’s baby on the black market.

Jim Jarmusch’s crowd-pleasing Broken Flowers portrays Bill Murray as Don an aging bachelor who goes on a journey to visit his ex-girlfriends in search of a son he may have sired 20 years ago. Don’s bizarre experiences during his unannounced visits make

for some very funny minimalist cinema.

Writer/director David Jacobson (Dahmer) takes Ed Norton on an imposter’s path in Down In The Valley in which Norton plays Harlan, a self-professed cowboy from the Midwest transplanted in the San Fernando Valley. Harlan uses his fish-out-of-water softspoken charm to seduce the teenaged daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) of a single father (David Morse). But Harlan is not what he appears and his sudden shift to violence negates everything he’s disclosed in this wellacted but false-ringing film.

The extraordinary Sam Shepard and Jessica Lange appear together in Wim Wenders’ Don’t Come Knocking about a washed up Hollywood cowboy actor who discovers he may have a son from a long ago fling with a woman in Butte, Montana. Shepard’s character nearly bites off more than he can chew as he’s forced to discard the emotional crutches of his past to make peace with the present.

From Michael Haneke’s cinema of confrontation comes Cache (“Hidden”), which won the Cannes award for Best Director.

Georges (Daniel Auteuil) is the host for a literary review TV program when he isn’t tending to his wife Anne (Juliette Binoche) and young son. The family is threatened when anonymously sent surveillance tapes and childish drawings point to a person from Georges’ childhood who may be out to destroy the family. The implications subtly expand to include possible governmental intrusion as Georges inadvertently induces a shocking act of ultimate violence while the source of the surveil-

lance tapes remains an enigma.

In Tommy Lee Jones directorial debut, The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada (for which he won Cannes’ Best Actor Award), Jones plays Pete Perkins, a Texas rancher who befriends a Mexican immigrant named Melquiades Estrada who entrusts Pete to bury him in his hometown in Mexico when he dies.

Pete’s brotherly duty comes all too soon when a border guard (Barry Pepper) shoots and kills Estrada.

In Arnaud and Jean-Marie Larrieu’s Peindre Ou Faire L’Amour (“To Paint or Make Love”), William and Madeleine are a happily married couple who test the waters of sexual freedom after their daughter goes away to college. After moving into an old house in the countryside the couple is gently seduced by their blind neighbor and his attractive wife into a game of sexual swapping that turns their world upside down.

Although this year’s festival lacked the plethora of political documentaries of last year’s festival, there was one documentary that addresses the subconscious reasons for so many films about people with hidden agendas working their ways into familial environments. The Power Of Nightmares was initially a three-part television series for the BBC. In it, director Adam Curtis establishes the way that the U.S. government has changed from offering its citizens a great society, to offering nothing but protection from vague evil forces.

Curtis makes his final and clearest point when he proves that Al-Qaida is a complete and utter fiction created by the U.S. Justice Department. Curtis asserts that there is no such global network of terrorists working together to undermine societies. Perhaps soon we will see the words “Al-Qaida” only ever prefaced with the word “fictional.” If the Buzzcocks were a band forming today they might write a song called “There is No Terror in this World Anymore” with the refrain, “not like in the states.” MTW

GUNNER PALACE 5 & 7:30 P.M., CASTLE THEATER Even the staid Wall Street Journal raved that this illuminating and evenhanded documentary "reveals the complex realities of the situation in Iraq not seen on the nightly news, as told firsthand by our troops." "Rousing and Provocative."

Also called "A nerve-jangling work of visual poetry and ironic juxtaposition, and a powerful human story" by salon.com and “Sensational” by the LA Weekly. Rated R. 89 min. See Cover Story, p. 12.

New This Week THE LONGEST YARD - (PG13) - Comedy - This remake of the 1974 Burt Reynolds classic stars Adam Sandler and, um, Reynolds again as current and former football star, respectively, who wind up in stir together. They end up putting a team together to play the guards and hilarity ensues. At least, it did back in ’74. Also stars Chris Rock.

MADAGASCAR - (PG) - Comedy, Kids/Family and Animation - Ah! Finally a movie with stars we can respect: a lion, a zebra, a giraffe and a pregnant hippo (voiced by Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer and Jada Pinkett-Smith, respectively).

See, the animals were all “residents” of the zoo but when one of them disappears, the other three go looking for him and all four end up getting captured, put in boxes and shipped back to Africa.

Only, something happens with the ship and the four wash up on the shores of Madagascar, having to fend for themselves after being “cared for” by humans all their lives. Yeah, I know, it sounds fishy to me, too, but that’s just half of it! Also stars (the voice of) Cedric the Entertainer.

Now Showing THE BEAUTY SHOP – (PG-13) – Comedy – Here we are back in the chair again. Gina (Queen Latifa) has finally had it with her egotistical boss (Kevin Bacon). She ups and leaves, not only to open up a shop of her own but also taking a few of the key clients and shampoo girl (Andie MacDowell, Mena Suvaris and Alicia Silvertsone).

Fixing up this rundown salon, Gina inherits a very colorful and sexy sassy new group of people, or just what is needed in a beauty shop—a bunch of chatty Kathy’s.

CRASH - (R) - Drama - It’s a typical scene in L.A.: A Brentwood housewife and her DA husband. A Persian storeowner. Two police detectives, who are also lovers. A black television director and his wife. A Mexican locksmith. Two car-jackers. A rookie cop. A middle-aged Korean couple. And, in the next 36 hours, they will all collide.

HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY (PG) - Action/Adventure, Comedy, Science-Fiction - Earthman Arthur Dent is having such a bad day—not only is his house about to be bulldozed, but he discovers that he has an alien for a best friend. Actually, that would be rad! Meanwhile, Planet Earth is about to be demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass (so very Jetsons!).

The universe begins when the world ends, nothing is what it seems—even a simple towel is the most useful thing in the universe. Who knew?

THE HOUSE OF WAX - (R) - Suspense - Why, this remake? And why, Paris Hilton?? A group of friends on their way to a college football game falls prey to a pair of murderous brothers in an abandoned small town (of course). They discover that the brothers have their own main attraction: creating an entire town filled with the wax-coated corpses of unlucky visitors. Now the group must find a way out before they, too, become permanent exhibits in the House of Wax. Hey, at least Paris is already halfway there!

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 up the ranks and win... something.

A trophy? The presidency? Oh yeah, selfesteem. Whoopee. We all know self-esteem gets you nowhere. Just look at Robert Blake!

Stars Michelle Trachtenberg, Joan Cusack and Kim Cattrall.

KICKING & SCREAMING - (PG) - Comedy - Will Ferrell in a comedy? No, surely not! Strange as that may seem, Ferrell stars as Phil Weston, a normal guy who has never gotten his father Buck’s (Robert Duvall) approval for…well, anything he has done in his entire life (poor Phil!). A showdown between father and son occurs when Phil coaches his 10-year-old son’s soccer team and must defeat the team his (gasp) insanely competitive father coaches in order to win the league championship. While the PG rating implies clean laughs (no bringing of the green hat or Hank the Tank), watching Ferrell try to contain a bunch of 10-year-olds (because he’s 10 too, you know) is going to be funny.

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, along with his smarty pants sidekick (Steve Zahn), they use their clever heroics to help out the beautiful Doctor Eva (Penelope Cruz), who believes this ship is the reason why there are a lot of mysterious deaths.

She’s smart, that one.

‘Positive Vibrations’ Talking with Groundation’s Harrison Stafford Albert “Apple Gabriel” Craig hails from Jamaica and has overcome struggles that few musicians have experienced. Like contracting polio at the age of three and then having to endure a scorching hot blanket wrap for “treatment.” His years spent with Israel Vibration have made him one of the most respected names in reggae music, and he continues to inspire people, including the members of Groundation.

Groundation with Apple Gabriel Saturday, 10 p.m. at Paradice Bluz. Call 667-JAZZ for more info.

The band formed in 1998 at Sonoma State College in California by musicians Marcus Urani, Ryan Newman and Harrison Stafford. Their album Hebron Gate was nominated for Germany’s World Music Award and has received worldwide praise.

Their current tour follows the release of their fourth album, We Free Again, which has received critical acclaim. It blends elements of jazz and dub with reggae.

Groundation singer Stafford recently set aside some time while on Oahu to talk to us.

He described legendary singer Apple

Gabriel as “a blessing musically” and that touring with him has been a good balance for the group. Working with Gabriel on their latest album has allowed Groundation to “push boundaries” and continue to make unique music that moves people in ways only music can.

What does he find unique about Maui and its people?

“Maui seems to have a really a good balance,” he said. “If you want to climb to the top of a mountain and just be in that spiritual space, it’s your backyard.”

Then I asked Stafford how Hawaiian shows differ from performing in front of a California crowd.

“The strongest vibration of reggae music is in Europe and Hawai’i,” he said. He added that people in Hawai’i are on a “more conscious level of music.”

Stafford sees people on Maui as being “lifeloving people” who are “connected to the ocean,” who stay away from the negative things in life and “choose consciously to support positive vibrations.”

Groundation is not worried about huge success, like gaining fame through MTV, he said.

“We give our lives to music,” he added. In any case, he feels MTV’s programming is focused

on “negative” depictions of women and minorities. “That’s why you don’t see reggae music on TV,” he said.

Negative? Sure, there’s violence, drugs, the bling factor, Paris Hilton… But mostly it’s all harmless, right?

Not quite. Stafford said reggae music embraces and celebrates the positive aspects of life. It’s about positive energy and love—not in the stupid-sappy way of chick flicks or Hallmark cards, but coming together as people, embracing differences.

But reggae isn’t just promoting positive energy, but about connecting people, grounding them, opening the lines of communication—which is where they got the name “Groundation” in the first place. Because once that happens, people get inspired to do something great with their lives.

“All we have is life,” he told me. “We are here for the moment.”

Saturday’s show features two sets of booty-shaking music: one set of pure Groundation jams, the other featuring Apple’s music with Groundation jamming in the background. The show is 21 and over and tickets are $25. MTW

MUSIC & ARTS

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Cancers are fanatically loyal to their families—tragically, the feeling’s not always mutual. What some Cancers see as protective love, others can view as stifling control. For you, love transcends all. For some people, stuff like politics, practicalities, and the need for privacy can get in the way. Nothing’s likely to change this week about who’s close to you, and who’s not—except for your attitude. It’s an ideal time to come to terms with the shape your family’s in, good or bad, and assess whether or not improving it is actually in your power. If not, best to let it go, no?

Movin’ on up… You could have that deluxe apartment in the sky soon, or its metaphorical equivalent, provided you roll up your sleeves and put in some effort this week. You now have the chance to network with big fish from reservoirs larger than your relatively tiny pond. It’s time to get out there and sell yourself—but be careful.

Some people grab the spotlight, and feel like they have to put on a show to justify it. Resist that urge. You’re already larger than life; adding drama will just make you gaudy and unlikable. Be absolutely real. That’s all you need: your normal everyday self and a bright light. Try it. You’ll shine.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Every city I’ve lived in has had its share of “wild” animal denizens, living alongside humanity. New York’s full of rats; San Francisco, raccoons. Los Angeles plays host to coyote. Berlin has foxes. Each of these species has carved out its modern existence by successfully adapting to new circumstances and environments. I mention these animals—often referred to as “pests”—because their strengths is yours, as well. You have the adaptability to survive and thrive in swiftly changing situations—only sometimes you don’t let yourself do it. Go with the flow, Libra. It’s nature’s way. And being on the endangered species list isn’t as glamorous as it sounds.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) A battle of wills looms. Don’t go rushing off to don an emotional suit of armor and pick weapons, though.

Instead, go naked into the fray and see what happens. One of your intimate relationships is at a turning point. You’ll either fall (or explode) apart, perhaps never to come together again, or you’ll achieve a new level of closeness and trust. Getting to that enviable place will probably involve some serious emotional cleansing, though, a sort of scouring of built-up interpersonal grunge. It’s hard work, and being encumbered with weapons and chainmail would only make it impossible. Don’t guarantee estrangement; leave your shields and catapults behind. Yeah, that means your “enemy” can get near enough to tear out your hair, but also close enough to kiss and make up.

CALL 661-3786 EXT: 5#

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) How honest are you about your relationships? Don’t take this the wrong way; I know you’re a good-hearted, forthright, trustworthy person. But most Sags, especially when they’re young, take a lot more than they give. This can lead to habits that get you into trouble in more serious long-term relationships. At some point—like this week—your partner will demand some balancing of the scales. If they’re asking for more from you, don’t get defensive or start backing out. Chances are, you owe it to them. Maybe not; only you can ultimately judge what you’re able and willing to give. My advice? If there’s any doubt at all, give your lovely loved one its benefit.

It may even be in need of some of your energy, but that’s not important. What matters is what you need, whether you realize it or not: thrills, new experiences, inspiring people. All you have to do is go out and find them. It may take some work, so don’t give up and go back to alphabetizing your DVDs when nothing jumps out at you on your five-minute walk around the block.

Work is piling up. This is a crappy time to look far into your future, because whatever brightness lies there will be obscured by the mountains of little stuff stacked up in front of you. It’s overwhelming, but try not to let it get to you. Make lists, organize yourself and resolve to never give up, lest you’re buried in the mess. Diligence and discipline are two of your strengths, thank goodness, because you’ll need them now. Don’t worry about next year, next month or even next week.

Still, it’s important that you choose well on this new frontier. What (or who) you do now could be very important in the future, and affect everything that comes after. Make sure you get off to a good start, or you’ll never get to the finish line at the end of this particular path.

Your periodic cocooning is normal and necessary, despite the world’s loud demands. I urge you to resist them. This is all part of every Pisces’ natural cycle. The longer and deeper you can immerse yourself in your practice of resurrection, the bigger, brighter and more beautiful your wings will be when you eventually emerge.

Your challenge, despite this harsh treatment, is to avoid growing a crusty hard shell or filling your insides with bricks; take all this abuse with good grace. Become bigger than it by absorbing it but still retaining your fluffy, amiable shape and welcoming attitude. Eventually, you’ll find someone who appreciates this side of you. It’d be a shame if those who came before ruined it for that very deserving person.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Bad relationship patterns, like insomnia, can easily spiral out of control. Let me explain: You have trouble sleeping one night. The next night, you worry about having insomnia again, and so of course you do. The third night, it’s worse, because you’ve already had two sleepless nights. And so on. The same thing can happen in a relationship. You hit a bump in the road that’s like one you’ve experienced before, with someone else. That affair ended badly, so you start worrying about this one. Your fearfulness feeds into distrust instead of feelings of connection and fun, and before you know it, the road is riddled with potholes that weren’t there before. Stop worrying right now, because it’ll only make things worse. You hit a bump? Slam on the gas, not the brakes.

HOLOHOLOGIRL

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

The Early Days, Part 2: Sex, Drugs and the Hard Rock Café Last time: A pre-Holoholo science geek and relationship suckah faced Year One on Maui before tiring of the pastoral comforts of island living…

So in December 1998, I bought my one-way ticket from Maui to San Francisco. And I knew as soon as I did, I would have misgivings about leaving.

Sure, at the time I was tired of the relentlessly perfect weather of Maui, as well as the cost of a gallon of milk, being unable to drive over 40 mph, the lack of adequate clothes shopping, the lack of adequate nightlife, the lack of black folks and my Mexican peeps, the lack of guys who did anything besides talking about surf, the lackadaisical attitude of co-workers and nary an In-N-Out Burger in sight!

Yes, I had island fever.

But here I was making money living in a tropical paradise that millions of people in other parts of the world save up all year just to visit for a week. Plus, I was right smack in the middle of humpback whale season. And I was surprised by how many friends were genuinely sad to see me go.

I was on the fence again.

Right before I left, I ended up telling everyone I would be gone just for month, and then I would be back to Maui.

It snowed the day I arrived in San Francisco. For like, the first time since the winter of ’76.

That first day marked an unprecedented cold front in the Bay Area starting with four consecutive nights of below freezing temps and an outbreak of tornadoes.

Be careful what you ask for, right?

And well, I also got to drive those high speeds I’d been craving—right into the rear end of a car driven by one very angry African-American lady on a toll bridge.

And my Mexican peeps? They were laughing in the next lane over.

Anyhoo, none of that mattered ‘cuz I was going to be staying with friends in a glamorous city flat! Actually, it was a 500-sq. ft. studio shared by two charming but slovenly 200-pound-plus dudes and all their dirty underwear, smelly farts, ubiquitous cartons of takeout—and wee me!—in the heart of the Western Addition, a district with a reputation for great soul food and, conveniently, even better crack cocaine.

As I remarkably left in good standing—I guess I had enough “flair”—I simply transferred jobs from the Hard Rock Café in Lahaina to the one in SF. My first day there, I was wide-eyed with wonder. Not at the scenic vistas of Golden Gate Bridge or Coit Tower. Nor at the hustle and bustle of the Hard Rock’s outer Tenderloin—and rejected stepchild status of Pacific Heights—vicinity.

I was in awe of the gorgeous and friendly kids working at the corporation rock ‘n roll restaurant chain. Of course, it didn’t take me long to figure out that everyone was doing blow in the employee dressing rooms, and each other in the walk-in freezer.

Now that’s what I call flair.

My Hard Rock “trainer” was yet another cutie—a tall smiley-faced boy with dimples and a mischievous glint in his big blue eyes. He looked like trouble—and he was—but I immediately assumed he was gay, like all the other attractive men in the city and at the Rock.

As part of my work initiation, the naughty Trainer and I took a “smoke break,” which I would also come to know later as the signal to hightail it down the block for a shot of whiskey and a line at the Beer Ness. It was there that all the employees would gather before, during and after work for a little relax and rewind, so to speak (see above).

Needless to say, the “one month” I was supposed to stay in San Francisco turned into nine, I got a second job at an outdoors, on the water, China Basin joint called The Ramp and sorta/kinda moved in with the Trainer—the Peter Pan to my Wendy... or maybe he was the Tinkerbell to my Captain Hook... hmm... it was San Francisco, after all—in the Sunset District.

In no time at all, I became enmeshed in hot Trainer love and a scandalous whirlwind of rockstar partying all night on whiskey and/or wine, drugs of mostly the amphetamine kind with some dangerous narcotics thrown in, oiled and naked orgies either involving a lot of sake drinking or bonfires at the beach, motorcycles, paddle and whip parties, partner swapping, lots more drinking and absolutely no sleep at all. It’s certainly not behavior I’m advocating. I’m just glad I survived it ‘cause honestly, it was a lot of fun.

But well, the Trainer and I were tired of all the partying and debauchery. Or were we? Anyway, we decided to move to Maui together.

Next time: How I came to tending goats and playing the fiddle in Astoria!
