There’s yet another mash note from a Ron Paul supporter in Letters.

Wailuku Water Co. proves they’re run by geniuses in Maui 10. Rob Report attends the state Legislature’s Opening Day–and lives to tell the tale! Locals who litter earn the wrath of Eh Brah! Anthony Pignataro dishes son ceded lands, the end of Fred Guzman’s Fox News 900 talk show and something strange and mysterious called Special Finance Magazine in Coconut Wireless. South Korean politics learn the power of poonsgoo in News of the Weird.

Oh my God–film critic Cole Smithey actually liked this week’s movie! Well, duh: it’s Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood, which tells the story of how men in 1920s America first developed a taste for sweet, sweet oil.

11 FEATURE STORY

Jessica Armstrong grooves to Gretchen Rhodes and Pio Marashcho, and eclectic couple who somehow manage to blend soulful gospel with high-energy house music.

This week Greg Mebel takes a hard look at mentally ill prison inmates. Despite a myriad of programs and psychological resources designed to help them, too many of them just end up behind bars.

Mr. [Anthony] Pignataro has employed an age-old technique in his article on Ron Paul (“Ron Paul is Right!” Jan. 3, 2008). Take a few sentences on a big, complex issue and you can make just about any intelligent person sound like a crack-pot.

Let’s take a closer and more honest look at Ron Paul and the environment. Protecting the environment is not a one-size fits all proposition.

What makes total sense in Alaska wouldn’t work in Hawai‘i or Nebraska. I lived in Alaska for 11 years and was born and raised here in Hawai‘i. For instance, ask any indigenous person from either state how well the wielding of federal power has represented their interests re: subsistence, property, and tribal rights, to name a few. By adhering to the Constitution, Dr. Paul is for taking the heavy handed power of this monolithic government and giving it back to the states and their people. By reminding us what the Constitution provides for, Ron Paul advocates a “Think Globally, Act Locally” perspective. Why would anyone on Maui want people in Washington legislating what happens on Maui?

Besides the pablum we’re fed by mainstream media, what do we really know about ANWAR, or the vast gas reserves within the continental U.S. or the North American continent, for that matter? It’s hard to weigh in on something based on general information I receive from mainstream media. The truth is, I can’t do so effectively. So as healthy diets are wellrounded ones, the same is true for information we are fed. We should get our news from many sources. This is not to pontificate, but rather to share a practice I’ve engaged. Interestingly, as greater understanding ensues, I’ve become less threatened by those with opposing ideas. Oddly, this presents me with a more inclusive rather than exclusive world view! Man cannot understand by sound bytes alone. It is from this philosophic foundation I wish to respond not only to Mr. Pignataro’s article, but speak to all fellow citizens. I am grateful to the Maui Time for providing this forum.

Growing numbers of Americans are noticing the acceleration and persistent overreach by the Federal government into our individual liberties.

The tendency to “cradle” its citizenry through legislation, has lulled us into a false sense of security. Have we become a nation infantilized?

Someone recently wrote, “An active and involved community is a healthy community. The participation

and expression of all must remain welcome, and local choice is what gives us ALL a choice.” The rub is: Democracy requires mature commitment and work.

Our forefathers thought average citizens were capable of it... and we are!

The mere notion that a shifting of centralized power back into the hands of the people, and their communities, from whom it originated mind you—that it should be a bad thing... and at a time when the true representation of the people’s wishes have become a cynical joke— that it doesn’t even seem to bother us anymore is ludicrous! As if putting the power back into the hands of the people would make for an even worse profile of environmental legislation than the Bush Administration has achieved! As if the heads that have been planted at the EPA would have done any different... As if they weren’t already hobbled to begin with!

Goes to show ya’ how far we’ve strayed and how well our brains have been scrubbed! We must grow up and inform and represent ourselves to fully participate in our surroundings; it is ours.

Any group currently marginalized by our political atmosphere have absolutely nothing to fear from a Paul Presidency, either. It’s about putting the control back into the hands of those from whom it has been divested: you. Do we remember the Constitution’s remarkable power to unite?

Our Constitution is what distinguished this nation from others as the truly great vision our Framers intended. Yet how are we being viewed by the world now?

Could it be we’ve lost our moral and intellectual stance by departing from the mandates of our Constitution?

If you disagree with Dr. Paul’s personal views on any area of the Law, remember: it is because of his unadulterated devotion to protect, uphold and restore the Constitution—it is YOU he seeks the Law to reflect, his personal views notwithstanding. Or maybe you already feel adequately “represented” by our government, as it is? I humbly ask that we all think about what is at stake.

TESORO NOT SO REFINED ANYMORE “Record crude-oil costs.� That, according to the Jan. 15 Honolulu StarBulletin, is why Tesoro is cutting gasoline refinement at its Kapolei plant by more than a quarter. That’s 26 percent. I know, life must be really harsh and unforgiving if you’re a refiner. They’re not made of stone, you know. The idea behind the plan to cut production is, of course, that Tesoro needs to make sure gas prices stay exactly where they are right now, which is somewhere around the level of VERY HIGH. Otherwise, their profit margins will be in jeopardy. And no God-fearing American would ever allow that!

NO RECORDS! Wailuku Water Co. rises a few notches this week on word that they’ve been run by cunning geniuses for at least the last century. According to the Jan. 17 Maui News, company president Avery Chumbley—a former state senator—admitted to the state Commission on Water Resource Management that his company has no ditch flow records for the period 1987 to 1997. None. Maybe they’re misplaced, maybe not. No way to tell, really. That means Chumbley has no idea at all how much water his company took from the Iao, Waihee, Waiehu and Waikapu streams during that entire decade. Oh, and complicating matters is the fact that his firm has no ditch flow records at all—misplaced or otherwise—before 1962. Not a one—and the company was founded in 1862. How smart is that? Records get subpoenaed, but if you don’t have the records to begin with‌ MTW

Walking the ‘Ledge’ A neighbor island view of the state Legislature Each year, the opening of the state Legislature unfolds with crowds of people, optimistic speeches, big pomp and circumstance, enough flower leis to rival a graduation ceremony and food—lots of free food. It’s a timehonored opportunity for a meet-andgreet with elected officials, who characteristically may be difficult to access during the rigorous four-month legislative session.

Neighbor island delegates to the state Senate and House of Representatives have long struggled to win a fair share of tax revenue allocations, given the large number of votes from Oahu legislators. Maui has a delegation of three in the state Senate—Roz Baker, Kalani English, and Shan Tsutsui—compared to 18 senators from Oahu. Similarly, Maui’s delegation of six to the state House— Joe Bertram III, Mele Carroll, Angus McKelvey, Bob Nakasone, Joe Souki and Kyle Yamashita—are outnumbered by 35 members from Oahu.

It might have been deemed helpful for “home-rule,” or self-government in local matters, when we elected Governor Linda Lingle, a former Molokai councilwoman and Maui County Mayor. But our expatriate governor has not heeded Maui’s cries for home rule on issues such as expanded health care facilities, highway improvements and environmental review for the Hawai‘i Superferry.

It’s true that Maui’s delegates to the Legislature hold some strategic positions. Rep. Souki, once the speaker of the House, now chairs the Transportation Committee. Sen. Baker chairs the Ways and Means Committee, guiding money appropriations that can make or break proposed legislation. Sen. English is chairman of the Transportation and International Affairs committee and sophomore Rep. Yamashita chairs the Economic Development and Business Concerns Committee.

Still, there is an established pecking order that limits the clout of those who have not spent as many years in the state capitol, unless they are willing to follow the political lead of senior members. And, as one representative once told me, much of the “nitty-gritty” business of the state Legislature takes place in barroom discussions at Honolulu’s Restaurant Row. So the opening of this year’s legislative session once again provided a glim-

Where’s the free food? mer of hope in an otherwise muddled political process. Arriving at the State Capitol steps after an early morning flight, we walked up the Beretania Street steps, where the Father Damien statue greets visitors.

As a high school band warmed up in the open-air rotunda, hundreds of people gathered outside for the second day of protests and awareness of GMO testing on taro. Molokai’s Walter Ritte was among many calling for a legislative hearing on the matter, and for a 10-year moratorium on testing.

Many in the large, colorful crowd held taro plants aloft, hoisted Hawaiian flags flown upside-down—a sign of distress— and displayed signs such as “No GMO” and “Save Haloa.” On the south side of the capitol building, many more Native Hawaiians set up banners and a de facto occupation inside the gates of ‘Iolani Palace.

According to the Hawaiian origin chant, the Kumulipo, Haloa was the stillborn son of sky father Wakea, and Star Mother Ho‘ohokukalani. Placed in the ground, he grew into kalo, or taro. The second born was man, whose kuleana, or responsibility was to take care of Haloa, his elder brother. Thus, Haloa, the kalo, became the staple food of the Hawaiian people.

Television news teams, reporters, and student video crews captured the myriad events, while dozens of onlookers viewed the spectacle from the hallway railings above the rotunda courtyard.

Meanwhile, staffers in the legislative offices on the second, third and fourth floors spread out elaborate feasts of

Sterno-warmed lunch items, desserts, snacks and beverages. A steady flow of constituents sampled the fare, and met their elected officials, who were bedecked in coat and tie or finest dress and adorned with showy flower leis. Soon, the crowds shifted to Senate and House chambers for the opening festivities, before more feasting and greeting in the afternoon.

Of course, House and Senate leaders want to put on their best appearances of addressing key island-wide issues in opening orations. But this year’s opening session contained some unexpectedly encouraging emphasis on topics like local renewable energy, enough to uplift even the most skeptical of political observers.

House Speaker Calvin Say brought the most attention to Hawai‘i’s over-dependence on imported petroleum, and the opportunities to bolster our local economy with renewable energy incentives.

Calling for people to help leaders take charge of our own destiny, Rep. Say spoke of embracing change.

“We are thousands of miles away from the resources necessary to support the lives of more than a million people,” Say said.

“So we must significantly increase our efforts to achieve greater sustainability. To take care of our own destiny, we must recognize that good environmental policy and a sound economy should work together.”

Typical political banter, some might believe—especially from one who helped usher in Act 2, exempting Hawai‘i see LEDGE, page 9

EH BRAH! I’ve lived on Maui for six years. It’s the most beautiful place on Earth. I wasn’t born here and I’m a haole, but I do all I can to keep it beautiful and protect it. I hear and see how the locals are always blaming the white man for Maui’s problems (the Superferry, trash, vacation rentals, etc.), but it seems that there’s a local undercurrent of blame and racism towards haoles. And it’s bullshit: I was driving home from work the other day and in front of me was a car full of locals throwing garbage out the car window. I honked my horn, hoping they would stop, but they didn’t. For the next two miles I had to watch tthem throw trash all over the land that I love and try to care for. Now tell me who really loves this awesome place I now call home?

So about 10 months after it started, the Fox News 900 AM radio show “The Talk of Maui” is coming to an end this week. Hosted by longtime local sports reporter Fred Guzman, the two-hour drive-time show featured interviews with local officials and community leaders, listener calls and Guzman’s own commentary. And I don’t know why the show ended, but my own personal theory is that it had to do with that last part. See, Guzman is not your typical talk show host—he’s rational and intelligent. He tempers his opinions with facts, good judgment and always presents them in a respectable, honorable way (he was so fair that he asked ME to be a regular, weekly call-in guest—my last appearance was this morning). Guzman treated his show as a way to inform Maui’s residents, not as a club to beat fear into them with mushy-headed propaganda about “terror threats” and “illegal immigrants.” Yes, his cadence would speed up considerably when topics turned from politics to sports—those last few weeks he talked a lot about University of Hawai`i football—betraying his first journalistic love, but Guzman’s knowledge and understanding of local government was considerable and genuine. Knowing all this, my reaction upon hearing that his show was ending wasn’t “Why?” but “How the hell did he last on Fox News radio for 10 months?” Well, now he’s gone (and by “gone,” I mean still doing a daily sports show on ESPN 550), apparently replaced by some Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) programming. I hope Maui’s happy.

The Superferry cancelled its voyage to Maui today because of big swell in Kahului Harbor. Probably won’t sail tomorrow, either. But it’s hard to care about it today (or any day, really) because it’s the first day of the state legislative session! Wooooo! State Senate Majority Leader Colleen Hanabusa used the word “sustainable” five times in just the first three paragraphs of her Opening Day speech! You think she can get away with that kind of mind-numbing repetition on any other day of the year? This is also the day with the state Attorney General’s office announced its annual “Law Enforcement Coalition Legislative Package”—a round-up of bills that AG Mark Bennett wants the state House and Senate to pass so his job can be a little bit easier.

Developing new water sources.

It’s Mayor Charmaine Tavares’ top priority for 2008, according to today’s Maui News. After that, she wants to get more affordable housing built and get the county to use more renewable energy. That’s what she wants to focus on this year, and it’s a decent list. Yes, Tavares considers her first year a success, bringing about the “leadership and action” she campaigned on. But for fun, I decided to look up Tavares’ stated priorities when she first got herself elected mayor back in 2006.

“Mayor-elect Charmaine Tavares said improving county services will be her first order of business upon taking office in January,” The Maui News reported on Nov. 9, 2006. Whether she considers county services sufficiently improved isn’t Mayor Tavares: one year down, three to go said in today’s story, but what I really thought intriguing was the order of her priorities beyond that. After the revenues derived from ceded lands: county service improvement thing, apparently, the state’s going to give the Tavares wanted to implement the county’s Office of Hawaiian Affairs $13.2 million in new policy requiring considerable affordcash and about 200 acres on Oahu and the able housing from new development projBig Island, worth about $187 million.

Superferry, Inc. from an environmental review that would have kept their boat in port until state officials could address all the ferry’s impacts.

But Say continued. “So, let me begin with what I believe is our most pressing environmental and economic concern—total dependence on imported fuels—fuels that cost us more and more each day,” he said.

“The increase in their price shows up in the gas we buy, the electricity we use, and the food we eat. Last year at this time, the price of oil was just under $50 a barrel. Earlier this month that price had doubled.

Hawai‘i is not far away from a day when the cost of jet fuel will start to play havoc with our tourist-based economy. Some say it has already started to do that.”

Not bad. And there’s more: “Hawai‘i’s unique environment presents us with an unparalleled opportunity to lead our nation in the development of renewable energies,” he said. “I realize there are considerable challenges surrounding the increased production of sugar cane and other bio-fuel crops. Issues of water rights and infrastructure; issues that will require us to change our land use policies. But wouldn’t most of us rather gaze at a sugar cane field that helps power our cars, than a field of high-rise condos built for the offshore rich?”

Say said Hawai‘i should have solar and wind power on every island; hydropower on Kauai—the “wettest spot on Earth;” even wave energy, which he said lies “just over the horizon.

“In the end, achieving better energy

efficiency and practicing conservation are the two most immediate ways we can decrease our dependence on outside resources,” Say concluded. “If we could just produce half of Hawai‘i’s energy, we would add at least $2 billion to the state’s economy. And the money stays here, not in a bank somewhere in Texas or the Middle East. This is how we will begin to take control of our own destiny.”

This is the very message I flew to Honolulu to deliver to our legislators. I was greatly encouraged that common sense seemed to finally have trumped the strong suit of political pandering and oldboy politics, at least in this session’s opening comments.

But now the work begins. Paid lobbyists work the office hallways daily, not just when there’s free food laid out. Citizen lobbyists are wise to be as diligent as possible. It’s helpful to set up a relationship with office aides and staff, who may be more accessible to communications.

When our elected legislators hold “talkstory” sessions on Maui, we should attend and introduce our personal areas of concern for state funding support.

It’s a cumbersome and flawed process, but it’s the way the wheels of government turn; sometimes it even takes us down the road of a beneficial future. Embarking on policies for food sovereignty and statewide incentives for local, sustainable energy and fuel production are worthy goals for the 2008 state legislative session. It’s a way we can literally return the “Power to the People.”

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD THIS WEEK IN POONSGOO Lee Myung-bak was elected president of South Korea in December, with experts in “poonsgoo” (similar to the Chinese feng shui) attributing the victory in part to the favorable location of his ancestors’ graves, which is an important predictor of good fortune. Candidates not so lucky spent part of the campaign moving their ancestors’ remains to better sites.

Former president Kim Dae-jung is said to have learned the hard way, losing an earlier election with poor burial location, then winning after moving some dead relatives around, according to a November Reuters dispatch.

CULTURAL DIVERSITY

Maui’s Online TV Station

While European and American TV and film producers take care to have dialogue dubbed into foreign languages using voices that are appropriate for each actor, the dubbing in Poland continues to be done by “lektors”—males with smokingseasoned voices who speak the dialogue of all the characters in a story in the same pitch. The trick, according to an October Wall Street Journal dispatch, is “speaking so smoothly that viewers forget that Paris Hilton sounds like a Polish Johnny Cash.” One experiment using six different actors for the cast of an episode of Friends bombed with viewers, and the next week, the lektor returned.

YOU CAN’T SPELL ‘PASSPORT’ WITHOUT… In November, an association of Ugandan activists of Rwandan descent complained to the Ugandan Parliament that the government was discriminating against its women, in that passport-application officials single them out to verify their Ugandan nationality based on the whether their derrieres and legs are sufficiently large. According to a

columnist for the newspaper East African, “Uganda is a society that’s besotted with women’s buttocks like few other places are.” Immigration officials denied that they “profile.”

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Arthur Cheney, 64, was arrested near Marysville, Calif., in December driving a car that had been spotted at a bank robbery. On the center console of the car, officers found a yellow “sticky” note with a handwritten “Robbery–100s and 50s only.” Said an officer, “We call that a clue.”

VERY PROGRESSIVE LEADER Jacob Zuma, a flamboyant Zulu activist since his teen years, was elected president of the African National Congress in December and is a presumed shoo-in to become president of South Africa in 2009, despite a 2005 rape trial (at which he was acquitted). Zuma had testified that the sex was consensual, that “[i]n Zulu culture, you cannot leave a woman if she is ready.

To deny her sex, that would have been tantamount to rape.” He also said that he had not bothered with a condom even though he knew she was HIV-positive, cheerfully explaining, “I had a shower afterward.” The rate of HIV infection in Zuma’s KwaZulu-Natal province is about 40 percent.

LATEST RELIGIOUS MESSAGES More than 5,000 Christians have joined the Hollywood Prayer Network to pray anonymously for the spiritual transformation of certain troubled celebrities, according to a November Chicago SunTimes report. Also, an “Incognito Prayer Network,” whose members wear “90028” bracelets with Hollywood’s ZIP code, will assign celebrities to members who are touched by a particular star.

Even in the face of criticism, members stand firm. Said one, “I don’t know if I could turn off this compassion that I feel [for a particular celebrity]. I’m called to do this, so I do.” MTW

ighty-five percent of people arrested in the State of Hawai‘i have a problem with drugs or alcohol. One in two arrestees have a mental problem. At least 20 percent of the people currently sitting in jails around the state have severe and persistent mental illness, For Maui police officers, these numbers—which come from the state Public Safety Department Mental Health Branch Administrator—are staggering. When the cops arrest someone who’s breaking a law—trespassing, a public nuisance, whatever—they have a couple choices. They can cuff ‘em and stuff ‘em, as they usually do. But if they decide the person they’re arresting might suffer from a mental illness, the officers can call the Access Line.

This goes to Oahu; they, in turn, call a Maui crisis outreach worker to assess the arrested person and maybe help calm him or her down. Sometimes, the Access Line has a history of the person in question and what the problem might be.

The next step—a warning, trip to the hospital or detox—depends on the situa-

tion. But a high percentage of those mentally ill people arrested just end up in jail.

According to a letter written by two Chicago Psychiatry professors and published in the Journal of the American Psychiatric Association in 2006, “this country [is] the world leader in per capita incarceration–with rates five to ten times those of comparable industrialized nations… American incarcerations for drug offenses exceed incarcerations for all offenses combined in the European Union, which has 100 million more people than the United States.”

In 2005, the PBS program Frontline aired a documentary called “The New Asylums.” It detailed the trend in this country to give mentally ill people treatment once they landed in prison, as opposed to the time before they committed whatever offense got them in trouble in the first place. Put simply, the program illustrates how our jails have become our nation’s new mental asylums.

When the Maui Police Department picks up someone with mental illness, two

worlds collide. There’s the law enforcement world—Maui Community Correctional Center (MCCC), judges and juries—and then there’s the mental health ward at Maui Memorial Memorial Center, rehabilitation and drug therapy. Both have similar goals and interact on a regular basis. But both worlds are very different and have different jobs to perform.

The police need to keep the streets safe.

The Adult Mental Health Department needs to treat people who are sick. It’s a case of the Department of Health versus the Public Safety Department.

T

here is nothing easy about dealing with mentally ill people who run afoul of the law. Say a mentally ill man is convicted of trespassing at 7-11: he does his time and pays his fine, and it comes time to release him back to society. He’s still mentally ill—still more than capable of getting into trouble again.

Now say that same person is picked up again, this time for loitering. But instead of paying a fine, a judge orders him to stay

in jail until he undergoes a mental health evaluation. Sounds wonderful, until you find out that it currently takes months to get such an evaluation completed.

“The cases we’re having are things like someone standing in an alley throwing things at people,” Maui Police Lt. Tivoli Faaumu said. “What are we gonna do with this guy? Maybe we can work with the Department of Health, instead of hook him up, throw them in a cellblock, then to court, and then back on the street.

Maybe the person can’t pay for their medication. Maybe they can’t get transportation to the pharmacy.”

Another option would be simply to keep the mentally ill criminal in jail. On Dec. 17, 2007, National Public Radio reported the story of Jonathan Ramos in St. Thomas. He has schizophrenia and took someone’s bike from the front of WalMart without permission. Though charges were subsequently dropped, he couldn’t be released because he’d been deemed a danger to himself and others. So he’s stayed in jail for the last five years. This

“The cases we’re having are things like someone standing in an alley throwing things at people,” Maui Police Lt. Tivoli Faaumu said. “What are we gonna do with this guy? Maybe we can work with the Department of Health, instead of hook him up, throw them in a cellblock, then to court, and then back on the street. Maybe the person can’t pay for their medication. Maybe they can’t get transportation to the pharmacy.” may be an extreme example, but similar scenarios have happened on Maui.

Clearly the action taken depends on the severity of the crime. But there are other options besides having the police continually lock people up.

There are transitional programs, reentry programs, rehabilitation programs, group homes, minimum-security prisons and mental wards.

They are run on Maui by the state, Maui Economic Opportunity and by private firms like Mental Health Kokua, Aloha House, Care Hawaii and a host of others. And what’s more, many of these options cost less then jailing a person.

But at MCCC, treatment options are extremely limited. The psychiatrist visits inmates just twice a month. And the Maui Memorial mental health ward (known as the Molokini Ward) is chronical-

ly full. If inmates are in a serious crisis, they’re usually transferred to either the State Hospital in Kaneohe or the Oahu Community Correctional Center (OCCC).

OCCC has some additional resources for mentally ill people, but it’s also over-crowded.

Making matters worse, the U.S. Department of Justice has monitored OCCC for years due to its poor treatment of mentally ill inmates. In 2005, the department found prison officials restraining and isolating inmates to the point of violating their constitutional rights.

The State Hospital in Oahu is also overcrowded; 95 percent of its patients are court ordered to be there. There were so many assaults there last year that the Hawai‘i Government Employees Union filed a grievance with the state alleging unsafe

working conditions. One of the nurses apparently suffered facial fractures and bruising after one of more than 100 incidents in 12 months.

“The hospital is a rehabilitative facility but is also needs cells when safety becomes an issue,” Dr. Michael Chang, a psychiatrist at the State Hospital said in an August 2007 Honolulu Advertiser story.

Nurse manager Grace Pakele agreed, saying that, “Our programs become ineffective because we just end up housing patients [instead of treating them].”

The state has taken steps to lessen the pressure in the existing facilities. It’s tried to contract more interim and minimum security housing for patients who don’t actually belong in jail. While a positive move, this brings a new host of problems.

For example, when a group home was proposed in Kailua the neighbors were able to block it, saying such a place wasn’t appropriate for their residential area. The state has proposed a number of minimum-security facilities at various locations throughout the Islands, but none have yet been built.

Ultimately, if and when overcrowding becomes critical in the State Hospital, officials are left with a hard choice: send their patients to jail or let them out early. Since letting mentally ill criminals loose on the streets doesn’t go over too well with the media, communities or victims, more often than not the inmates stay in jail.

I

s there a way Maui can deal with its own mentally ill citizens without flying them to Oahu or paying to keep them in jail?

And at the same time, can we prevent Maui from facing the same problems that plague Oahu?

Reneau Kennedy has some ideas. She worked in the Attorney General’s office but switched over to the Mental Health Branch Administrator in the Public Safety Department (PSD).

“I’m a rainmaker,” she said. “I love making things happen.”

Kennedy has studied the situation with mentally ill inmates on Oahu. She believes Maui can create a model the rest of the state could one day follow.

“Maui is small enough,” she said. “The people are capable enough. We could put together a program, do model work and attract federal funds. Now there are [people charged with] pretrial misdemeanors who are waiting seven months for [psychological] evaluations. Are we violating constitutional guarantees? Are we wasting taxpayer dollars?

“Take a trespasser,” she continued.

“Usually that would be a fine. But if that person can’t plead guilty because they’re too unstable, then they’re in a system of judicial process that keeps people off the streets. There’s no facility for people who need hospital level treatment in prison or jail. And the State Hospital and Maui Memorial is too full to take PSD people in.”

The first solution, she contends, is to get people talking. Following that logic,

she organized regular round table discussions and put many of those involved in a room together.

“The Judiciary doesn’t ever talk to anybody, because they’re the law,” she said.

“Prosecution and defense have their own jobs. Then there’s the mental health department, parole department and public safety who capture these people and hold them. It’s all one milk shake. There’s a process needed.”

Lucas Bruno, a new MCCC psychiatric social worker and former probation officer, agrees. “We’re all talking to each other,” he said. “That’s headlines. People are all meeting at the same table. For years, Hawai‘i departments have worked within their own silos.”

Officials within the police department and MCCC who requested anonymity confirmed that they’ve begun to run more crossover programs lately, even though they haven’t yet been officially sanctioned. The programs are active, but work “under the radar” until the Departments of Health and the Public Safety can adjust their internal systems enough to work together on an official basis.

Dr. Tom Harding, a Forensic Coordinator with the Maui Community Mental Health Center is part of the roundtable discussions. Of his many job responsibilities, one is to monitor and track patients who are in need of mental health services and are going through the legal system. He says that Maui’s doing pretty well, but he does have a couple concerns.

“While tracking and monitoring people through the system, with so many different agencies, it’s easier for a puka to appear,” he said. “We need to be able to hand off the baton—better communication.”

One way Harding sees to address the problem is by getting mental health staff positions in the MPD. That’s actually easy when compared to another problem Harding sees on the horizon.

“Another problem is dementia,” he said. “It’s on the rise in the community. A ‘Silver Tsunami’ is coming and Maui must be ready to deal with it.”

Harding was referring to the aging baby boomer generation, poised to swell the ranks of the elderly in the community. He cited cases where an elderly person becomes confused or makes a scene, prompting others to call the police.

Often the person’s family lives offisland. The question then becomes what to do with these elderly people.

Right now, beyond letting them languish in jail, there aren’t many options.

Harding said we clearly need more supervised housing and geriatric programs to deal with them.

In the meantime, there’s a brand-new $100 million, 800-bed, prison in the early planning stages for Pu‘unene. It will be larger and more modern than the current MCCC. How such a facility will handle the island’s mentally ill individuals who fall within its walls is unknown. MTW

Korean food is served family style. It’s nice to order several different dishes and share them with people that you care about. I also enjoy banchan, the side dishes that come with every meal like cabbage, kimchee, potato and broccoli.

Although I like Korean food, it would be unfair to say that there is no such thing as a bad dish. I can’t tell you how many times I have almost choked to death on a piece of rubbery kalbi or been sorely disappointed with mushy, flavorless kimchee.

I have never had this problem at Isana Restaurant in Kihei—arguably the largest and finest Korean restaurant on the island. In fact, every time I’ve eaten there–whether I had traditional dishes like the bibhim bhap (rice, beef, veggies and egg served in a hot stone pot), yakiniku (food cooked on the table) or sushi—it has always been served extremely fresh and as close to perfection as one can expect this side of

the pearly gates.

According to owners Andy and Cindy Chun, quality is something that Isana has prided itself on for the past 24 years.

“See, only the best color, the best quality,” Andy told me recently while showing off some fish. “Expensive, but customers that know fish, know when they eat that it’s the best quality.”

I’m no expert on fish, but I’m betting that at roughly $800 for two nights worth of ahi, Isana really does serve the good stuff.

One of my favorite Korean dishes is kalbi beef. Isana’s beef is marinated to perfection, barbequed and served off the bone in delectable chunks of sweet and meaty goodness. I’ve been known to whack a family-sized portion by myself.

Isana also does an unbelievable dynamite sauce served over mussels or scallops. It’s hard to describe the flavor because it’s very complex: rich, spicy and salty while retaining a fresh light flavor that brings you diving in for a second, third and fourth mouthful.

The sushi bar at Isana is extensive–serving traditional rolls along with the more westernized California and Rainbow rolls. I was impressed with their Rainbow roll and I’ve seen it served at some of Hawai‘i’s most famous establishments. Isana’s version is artsy–adorned in generous quantities of orange, green and red roe.

Major confession: I

had never tried roe until my recent visit to Isana. So I was surprised when I tasted it—not just that I liked it, but that each of the colors held a different flavor. The orange was sweet and citrusy, the green had wasabi tones and the red was hot, like habenero.

Isana has hundreds of dining options. They also run a special Wednesday through Saturday offering sushi at half-off prices from 10 p.m. until close. I’m definitely going back in the hopes of broadening my culinary horizons.

And you don’t have to worry that the 50 percent off sushi will be anything less than the sushi served at full price. “We serve the good fish no matter what,” Andy Chun said.

“Always quality.”

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

by Starr Begley

Doug Varone—Fancy Footwork Thursday, (Jan. 24) 7:30 p.m. at the Castle Theater, MACC [DANCE] Doug Varone and Dancers have been celebrated and awed over by some of the nation’s leading publications.

The Boston Globe calls the dance company, “physically daring.” I would have to argue that the Globe made a serious understatement with that one and say that Varone’s choreography is “super physically daring” and “poetic.” Wait, I’m sure someone already used that word. Okay, I’m gonna say, and quote me on this, that the choreography in each and every one of Varone’s works is, “Fricking nutz, cherry and Da Kine.” This statement is backed by the fact that for their Hawai`i performance music is by Jake Shimabukuru. Tickets: $35, $20, $10. For more information 242-7469 or www.mauiarts.org.

Native Art Friday, (Jan. 25) 6-9 p.m. at Village Galleries, Lahaina [ART] I like art. Granted, I tend to gravitate toward funky, abstract, bizarre and disturbing images (they make me feel more mainstream). Betty Hay Freeland’s work is none of the above, but I still like it. For some reason her colorful oils depicting Hawaiian landscape make me feel safe and at home.

Despite her extremely Caucasian sounding name (I feel ya there, Betty), Freeland is part Hawaiian and was born and raised on the Big Island. It’s been said that her Hawaiian heritage gives her work a little more soul, and I have to agree. For more information call 669-1800.

Maui Monopoly Mogul

All Hail King Kekai

Saturday, (Jan. 26) 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at Matteo’s Restaurant, Wailea

Saturday, (Jan. 26) 10 p.m. at Casanova, Makawao

[FUNDRAISER/TOURNY] This is going to be fantastic. The irony is almost too much to handle–Habitat for Humanity has been given the blessing by Hasbro to hold a Monopoly tournament to raise funds for the construction of local housing. Anyone can sign up to compete for the title of “Maui Monopoly Mogul.” The Jr. Division winner (ages 12-16) will take home a laptop, while the adult winner will take home a cool vacation package. For those of you who don’t want to play, show up anyway: Lt. Governor James “Duke” Aiona will take on Mayor Charmaine Tavares (my prediction is that she’ll eat him alive) and–this is awesome–developer Everett Dowling will battle contractor Duane Betsill. I don’t know who to wager on in the Dowling vs. Betsill match-up. You know that they both probably kicked ass at Monopoly as kids.

Entry: $50 adults, $25 kids, $10 spectator. For more info call 893-0334.

DAY

[MUSIC] Imagine throwing hip-hop and reggae into the blender. Then imagine spiking the juice with a couple shots of attitude, a sprig of selfconfidence and a shake of soul. What do you get?

King Kekai, of course!

For those of you unfamiliar with The King, you’re in for a treat. His beats are cool and there’s something raw yet very, VERY refined and tight about his vocals that seriously turns me on. He’s got talent, and I’m not talking just Hawai`i talent–I’m talking this kid will probably be on MTV one day. Plus, Kila Kila from Q103 likes him and when has he ever been wrong?

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY COLE@MAUITIME.COM

Oil is Sweeter than Blood Another triumph for Paul Thomas Anderson Paul Thomas Anderson has grown immensely as a writer/director since his last picture (Punch Drunk Love), so much so that in a single film he has become America’s most visionary and accomplished modern-day auteur. Anderson based There Will Be Blood on the first 150 pages of Upton Sinclair’s novel Oil!, about a 1920’s miner named Daniel Plainview (exquisitely played by Daniel Day-Lewis) who strikes it rich after being approached by the twin brother of a young preacher about purchasing his family’s oilrich land in Southern California.

Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine) plays evangelist Eli Sunday, a man with Plainview’s avaricious heart but not his iron stomach for exacting the pounds of flesh that come with such thickly veiled ambition. Embedded in Anderson’s profoundly epic literary adaptation are timeless themes of savage greed, blatant corruption and social oppression that mirror the corporate, economic and ecological injustices ravaging the world today.

At the heart of the story is a rivalry of showmanship between Plainview and Sunday as opposite sides of the same cast-iron coin. The young minister has a knack for the theater of the

Hey! No pipe-smoking near the derrick! pulpit where he casts spells over the local citizens of a rugged desert town that wants desperately to be funded by a veritable

There Will Be Blood

★★★★★ Rated R/158 min.

Niagara of cash that Plainview’s oildrilling promises.

Both men are self-made inventions so invested in their presentational lies that there is no room for any inner voice of

conscious to interrupt the tyranny of their intentions. But Eli Sunday is a rank amateur compared to Plainview whose carefully guarded sense of personal responsibility lends the film its crucible of thematic essence.

After a mine accident kills the father of a young boy mysteriously named H.W., Plainview adopts the lad and treats him as an equal business partner. Dressed in a double-breasted suit and tie, H.W. (played with astonishing maturity by newcomer Dillon Freasier) serves as an ideal foil for Plainview to win over the sympathy of locals and business associates.

There Will Be Blood is a historically rooted parable that traces a vital path of Western culture through the industrial revolution via a primitive man who sees a

prevalent opportunity and selfishly sets about claiming all he can for himself. It is about an iconic archetype of a man who starts out with the barest trace of human decency, and by the end of his life has none.

There is visual, musical and linguistic poetry in every frame. Plainview’s mechanical nature does not allow the story a traditional life-affirming closure without looking empathetically toward H.W. as a strong individual who learns from the cruel lessons of his surrogate father and escapes his clutches.

A more cynical perspective would favor the actual black oil that Plainview uses to build his fortunes as a welcome result to his barbarous methods.

From this viewpoint, oil is the fountain of life that feeds generations of hungry people. Paul Thomas Anderson embraces the inexplicable facts of reality for their intrinsic dramatic truths, and what we are left with is a complex multiple character study of an evangelical, corporate and political culture.

Moments of cinematic homage to The Treasure of the Sierra Madre are evident in a miraculous picture that is simultaneously an art film and a mainstream masterpiece. Anachronistic and phantasmagoric, America’s early race for oil is brought into personal terms that resonate with the withering decay of greed. MTW

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Gretchen Rhodes and Pio Marascho became a couple two and a half years ago after they met on a plane ride from Germany to London. They instantly connected, but had to part ways before meeting again years later on Maui. Watch them enter a room side by side, and you’ll see the passion they hold for each other.

“For us to be able to create music together is a huge bonding thing,” Rhodes said.

Rhodes’ effortlessly polished, hippie-chic look contrasts with but still compliments his rugged, surfer style.

They said their music—a combination of soulful gospel and blues-flavored vocals over high-energy house music—comes from a place of love and a passion for sharing their energy and peaceful spirit.

“Our music is an outlet for our souls,” she said.

A spare bedroom in their Haiku home has been transformed into a practice studio, a place where they play, work and blend their creative talents and musical experience into powerfully soulful, addictive electronic tracks.

Marascho’s expertise is mixing and producing deep house music, steady beats heavily influenced by the funk and soul-infused dance music of late 1970’s disco. His passion for travel has exposed him to an international range of musical influences. He’s lived on Maui for most of the last 19 years, but his early DJ days found him in his hometown of Napoli, Italy and took him raving across London, Ibiza and Germany as well as partying on the underground techno scene in New York City.

Rhodes’ vocal prowess comes from a lifetime of musical experience, beginning with classically trained music instructor parents, who raised her to appreciate music ranging from Mozart to Aretha Franklin. Her amazingly clear, soulful voice (and undoubtedly her good looks) landed her a recording contract in Los Angeles five years ago. But after recording an original rock album, Rhodes Colored Glasses, she tired of the pressure to conform her sound and styles to fit the L.A. singer-song writer profile.

So she moved to Maui. In addition to her high-energy

performances with Marascho, she’s a vocalist for Mick Fleetwood’s Island Fever band, a group of extraordinary local musicians that includes Willie K and Eric Gilliom of the Barefoot Natives, Raitea Helm and, naturally, music legend Mr. Fleetwood himself.

“I feel like I’ve found a niche for the rest of my life, a subculture where it doesn’t matter how you look, what you weigh or if your ass is big or small,” Rhodes said.

Most of the time when Marascho and Rhodes perform they share the stage with two other DJs, Daniel Fry from Chile and Laloo Goya from Argentina, a group called Nitelife that aspires to bring a wide variety of electronic music styles and a bit of underground, international flavor to Maui.

The duo recognizes that their unusual performances seem more popular with the traditionally international crowd that frequents Upcountry venues than on Maui’s Westside, but want to get exposure all over the island. “[In] every country, religion, culture, age, soulful music brings people together,” Marascho said. “If we’re having fun and dancing, so is the crowd.” MTW

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

Don’t invest too much meaning into what are almost certainly random coincidences. I’m quite fond of drawing connections between things that seem to be related, and reading between the lines of regular life. But sometimes shit happens just because it happens, and it doesn’t mean anything in particular.

Making a big deal out of it, or changing your course because of it, would be silly. This week, it’s also likely to irritate people, and get you started on such a wrong path it’s ridiculous. Just let stuff play out and write it off as more or less completely random. It is.

Carrying around this idea is much like being pregnant. You may feel heavy and cumbersome. It might limit your activities. But you ultimately want to bear this burden and have it blossom, eventually, into something with a life of its own. Be patient and nurturing with yourself, and remember that at some point you’ll have “given birth” to the project you’re growing—and then you can get back to your old tricks. Trying to participate in those shenanigans now would be an embarrassing disaster. Example: People are titillated when a hot 20-something drunkenly flashes her breasts at a party. A heavily pregnant woman doing the same thing gets a totally different response. Keep that in mind and wait for the right time. This isn’t it.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You can’t get off the treadmill this week. No matter how fast you go, you won’t get anywhere. Trying harder will only make you more tired. This is only partially a trick of your perception. In some ways, your destination is receding nearly as quickly as you run towards it. Chill out. Don’t stop moving, but slow down to a pace you can maintain for a long time. Eventually someone will unplug the treadmill and you’ll close on your target so fast your head will spin. It just might take a while before that happens. Make sure you haven’t fallen off the thing before then., keep walking, and try not to fall off the path before then.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Spoil yourself. I’ve been astonished recently by your capacity for self-deprivation. You’ve probably had good reason to deny yourself some of the things you want, but let’s not get carried away here. There’s no need to endure a truly Spartan lifestyle, which is especially brutal for you luxury-loving Bulls. Keep up the discipline, for the most part, if it continues to be justified, but allow yourself one splash-out this week; nothing that will break the bank, of course, just a little taste of pleasure to savor and help you get through these self-imposed lean times—or you won’t.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Watch the ego. You’ve done something you can and should be proud of. But don’t get carried away.

This was a good thing, but it wasn’t all that. You haven’t saved the world (yet). You need to be humble and focused right now, and use this success as a springboard to even better things. Consider this just a start, not the end goal, even if this was as far as you originally planned to get. It’s time to (intelligently) expand upon those original dreams, and when people congratulate you on your recent successes, thank them, then tell them how they can help you do the next great thing on your agenda.

Lowest prices. Licensed and insured. Call 808-205-1777

As tempting as it may be to brag and share the kudos you’ve received with other folks you know, keep them to yourself. Consider them a private treat to savor alone, since others won’t like their flavor nearly as much. You’re great. The people who need to know that already do. The ones who haven’t figured that out yet aren’t going to learn better by finding out what you’ve just accomplished or about the praise and recognition you received for it—at least not if you share it with them. Keep quiet. If and when they do figure out how awesome you are, the fact that you were modest about it will only impress them all the more.

Darling, bite your tongue. There’s a bee in your panties this week and it’s likely to make you bitchy.

People who usually just mildly irritate you will have you grinding your teeth. Please resist the urge to let them know. Trust that whatever issues you’re dealing with this week might not be issues in another week or two, and you’ll be embarrassed later if you make a big deal about them now. It’s not worth the fallout and drama, which would haunt you for months after this week’s annoying bee sting is just a memory.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Control yourself or you’re likely to make things worse. If you get hurt, that’s the time to nurture yourself, not freak out and suffer a far worse injury. That would be like stubbing your toe, then punching the wall to cope with the pain in your foot. I don’t want you to suffer the emotional equivalent of breaking three fingers just because you couldn’t keep your feelings a little bit in check, especially when the initial “injury” is one you’d recover from quickly under normal circumstances. Take a deep breath and a few steps back, and wait it out.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) By lighting a thousand candles and waiting for your lover to come home you could be setting yourself up for a very romantic evening—or a visit from the fire department. Most of your schemes are walking this kind of line at the moment; if they go well, they’ll be lovely, but the potential for them to go seriously awry is very high. I’m not a fan of second-guessing yourself, or over-thinking things, but trying to critically poke holes in your ideas might simply be in your best interest right now, since many are fundamentally flawed. You want to prevent disasters, right? Unfortunately, questioning your own impulses right now is the way to go.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Everyone knows Cancers and Pisces are sensitive; they wear their hearts on their sleeves. Your own emotional vulnerability is much less obvious. You make a point of not letting people know how much they affect you, thus they’re not as careful with your feelings as they probably ought to be. This week your tender emotions are in peril. You could, of course, run like hell. That would work, but it would also unravel much of your recent efforts. Or you could simply admit to what you want and how you feel. Even if that seems unthinkable, think about it. It’s easier than you think, and it’s your best option, besides.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Take off your metaphorical dark sunglasses. While it may seem that you’ve walked into a sinister chapter of life, it’s just your perspective, not the reality of the situation, that makes it seem so grim. Things aren’t actually that bad. You can make anything look like a potential disaster, if you view it from the wrong angle in bad light. You’re usually such an unshakable optimist that you might not have noticed when you crossed over to the dark side and started viewing everything so negatively. Since you’re not literally wearing sunglasses, it might be hard to shed them (it probably involves eliminating something (or someone) that might be unduly coloring your view). Nevertheless, since you’re useless while wearing them, please don’t rest until you figure out how to take them off..

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) You can only use that tired excuse so many times before it stops working (and becomes boring). There comes a time when you either need to come up with a new and better one, or finally admit that you just plain don’t want to do whatever it is you’re avoiding, or look into why you’re making excuses in the first place. This week, my dear, is that time. Will you please finally admit to your true feelings about the situation, and act on them, rather than basing your behavior on how you think you should feel? And if your excuses have been genuine, and not reflecting your true desires, it’s time to eliminate them. No more excuses. Only heartfelt action will cut it, now.

Kihei vs.

Upcountry I’ve debated even bringing the subject up because I’m of the mindset that drawing territorial lines in the sand on a very small island could be detrimental to our community. But after a recent overnight stay in Kihei, I’m going to do it anyway.

Growing up, I lived all over the island: Wailuku, Paia, Makawao, Kahului, Kula, Haiku and Waikapu. In fact, the only places I haven’t lived are South Maui, the Westside and Hana, but that last one is almost a given.

Even though I spent time in multiple places on the island, the bulk of my life was spent in Makawao. I was never one of those kids that plastered my car with “Upcountry Girl” stickers–though I admit to being tempted on numerous occasions–nor did I ever scream, “Cun-tray!” while rolling down Makawao Avenue in a big four-wheel drive truck.

But I’ve always secretly harbored the conviction that Upcountry–its people, places, climate and over-all vibe–is way better than Kihei. Upcountry has cowboys, whereas Kihei has drunk tourist dudes. Sorry, but I’d take a Portuguese Paniolo who’s set to inherit land in Ulupalakua from his Grandpa over a Southern Californian with bad tattoos any day.

And then there are the women. Upcountry girls are strong and resilient. We can hang with the boys, throw a mean rotten guava, hop a fence and cow-tip with the best of them, all while retaining our hotness factor. Can you say that about EWOKs (Easy Women of Kihei)? Hey, I didn’t coin the phrase, but I can’t honestly say that I don’t utter an “Amen” while smirking after hearing it.

Other obvious arguments against Kihei are that it’s hot, dusty, traffic-congested and overflowing with tourist traps, tourists and pedestrians. Not that there’s anything wrong with pedestrians, unless you’re like me and occasionally jump the sidewalk while making left turns in your SUV. Points for Upcountry include afternoon showers, livestock adorning the landscape like a real-life Thomas Kincaid painting, non-touristy art, eucalyptus trees, streams and Pukalani Superette.

Unfortunately, both locations of the island have their share of batu-heads. Ten years ago I would have said Kihei was a tweaker town while Upcountry was more of a stoner ville, but times have changed for the worse. Of course, I still have to back Upcountry and say that our meth-heads seem less agro than the ones zipping along South Kihei Road on mopeds. Maybe it’s just that Kihei is more aggravating than Upcountry… You know with all the EWOKS and traffic.

But while spending a lovely Saturday down in Kihei at my sister-in-law’s house, I began to have a change of heart.

No, the people that I came into contact with weren’t the same as the ones Upcountry, but they weren’t bad people either. There were a lot of tourists milling around, but they actually accentuated the feeling that I was on a “mini vacation.” Plus, most tourists are pretty cool if you take the time to stop and chat with them.

Being so close to the water was a treat, and sunsets in Kihei are pretty phenomenal. Kihei is also convenient: if I need an internet bar, stiff drink, pedicure, ice cream cone, Jamba Juice and/or a plate of lasagna with a side of sushi, I can have it all within five minutes.

As an added bonus, an ice cream truck–music and all–comes through my Sister-in-law’s street in the evenings. I never had that when I was growing up.

The closest thing driving through our neighborhood was the trailer full of cows heading to the slaughterhouse.

I’m beginning to think Upcountry needs to step up its game.

Starr Begley sometimes pretends she’s an EWOK, but the smell of guava’s in her hair gives her away every time. MTW
