It just feels so good to be able to call him “former.” I didn’t drink the Obama Kool Aide and I happen to think all politicians are pretty much rotten, but that apple we just had in there was especially bad.

Now that we got rid of him, we (and you in the media especially) need to keep a watchful eye on the crooks who are still left. Don’t know where to find them? Just flip on C-SPAN! Ray Ray, Lahaina

THE PRICE OF PROGRESS Re the controversy over developers disturbing ancient Hawaiian burial sites [“Bones of Contention,” January 15]: If we link ourselves with a culture not of our own the situation will develop that it will become difficult to regain what we discard in the name of progress. Of course we can continue to practice what we lose, but it will have lost its value. What has happened at Palama Drive is one consequence of our carelessnesses.

FAILING THE TEST So drug testing teachers is a violation of their “constitutionally protected privacy” [Coconut Wireless, January 15]?

Says who? Everyone’s always calling children our “most precious resource.”

Shouldn’t the people being paid to care for that resource be held to the same standard as a brain surgeon or an airline pilot? Certain jobs, when you take them you give up your privacy in the name of the greater good.

Congratulations to Rob Parsons for the 100th Rob Report [“The big one-doubleoh,” January 8]! Thank you for keeping us informed, for being an educated activist, for representing the sane voice, for all the research you do and for the hours and hours of time you put into being the Rob Report.

Furthermore, these tests can produce an unacceptably high rate of false-positives, resulting in suspicion cast on entirely innocent educators.”

The great garbage swirl A patch of plastic twice the size of Texas is floating in the Pacific.

Maui’s Rich Owen wants to clean it up he horse latitudes are known for dead wind. They lie between the 30th and 35th latitudinal parallels, across the globe, above and below the equator. Their name supposedly comes from the days when Spanish merchant ships, bound for the West Indies, would practically screech to a halt upon crossing the area’s threshold and, to lighten their load and conserve water,

T

efit this Saturday at the Iao Theater, is quickly spreading the word.

“When I look at the Earth as a whole I look at the ocean as the earth’s blood,” Rich said. “It’s where life began.”

It takes less than a year for trash to travel from Asian waters to the patch and up to five years from the America’s west coast. Eighty percent of it comes from land; the other 20 percent comes from seafaring vessels. But it all gets trapped in the horse latitudes.

Items found include toothbrushes and kayaks. Much of the debris has broken down into tiny fragments, and fish and birds are ingesting them. would push overboard the horses they had brought along. (The Doors’ Jim Morrison wrote a creepy poem about the practice for the album Strange Days.)

While they’re no longer the gravesite of countless unfortunate horses, the horse latitudes are now home to a new menace born of unfettered commercial striving: the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

This dry, windless area is dominated by the Northern Pacific Gyre, a wind current that encircles an area twice the size of the continental United States. This ribbon of wind traps floating debris, mostly plastic, in a perpetual clockwise swirl. Part of this massive patch sits between Hawaii and the Mainland.

Rich Owen of the Environmental Cleanup Coalition, a Maui-based organization that is launching the beginnings of a cleanup effort for the area, said he first heard of the gyre from a friend.

“Literally my stomach just started getting in knots,” the scuba instructor says. “I felt ill.”

Owen had noticed an alarming volume of plastic in and around the water during a trip to Southeast Asia.

“I actually saw a fish shit a piece of plastic when I was in Bali,” he says.

It was enough to inspire Owen to look into the patch and ways to clean it up. The ECC’s Gyre Cleanup Project is still in the larval stage, but a public awareness campaign, including a ben-

Items found include hard hats, toothbrushes, bottle caps and kayaks. Much of the debris has broken down into tiny fragments, researchers say, and fish and birds in the area are ingesting them.

Gyre Cleanup Benefit Concert When: Saturday, Jan. 31, 7:30pm Where: Iao Theater, 68 N. Market St., Wailuku Cost: $20-$25 suggested donation Info: gyrecleanup.org

Sea captain and ocean researcher Charles Moore said in a 2008 NPR interview that the area of the garbage patch itself is estimated to be twice the size of Texas, and growing every day. Moore motored through it during a trans-Pacific sailboat race in the early ‘90s and was appalled by what he saw, saying that, in the week that it took to pass through the area he “was confronted, as far as the eye could see, with the sight of plastic.”

Yet you can’t see it in satellite photos, according to Algalita.com, the Web site of the organization for which Moore conducts research, because the debris is more “soup” than continent. Instead of forming a trash island, a literal wasteland on the surface, plastic fragments permeate the sea to great depths. And researchers say it doubles in size every time they go out

Satellite photos don’t do the swirl justice, because a lot of it’s underwater. there, which is on average every two years.

Algalita is studying the impacts of such a high concentration of plastic—and the toxic chemicals some plastics emit as a result of photodegredation, or breaking down—on the marine life in the area, among other things.

While the full extent of the patch’s detriment has yet to be quantified, Owen says it’s time to get to work.

“Leaving the trash in the ocean is not an option,” he says.

The ECC will be launching a research effort to find the most effective means of cleaning this menacingly large environmental hazard. Among Owen’s ideas are nets that would catch the larger pieces but allow marine life to escape. Owen says that researchers will also explore ways to repopulate the area.

But before all of this happens, Owen’s nonprofit will be raising funds like crazy.

Saturday’s event will not just serve to educate the public by way of a PowerPoint presentation. He’s also got a killer musical lineup slated. Performers like George Kahomoku Jr., Divino, Blane Lyon and Alana Cini will all do their part, and local artists will be selling their work to benefit the project.

It’s an unfathomably huge task, one that nonbelievers say can’t be tackled. Some researchers say our best bet is to curb our plastic use. But Owen isn’t fazed by critics or the hugeness of this undertaking. Maybe someday soon, the horse latitudes will be known for something positive. MTW

First, I would like to give a positive shout to the crossing guard who is outside of Kamehameha III in Lahaina every day when school lets out. He is out there rain or shine with a huge smile on his face. Children and parents alike love him. It is one of the best parts of my day to see all of the students give him hugs and high-fives on their way out. He is not only great to them but takes the time to give a friendly wave to every car that passes by. That is aloha spirit to me! As for the guy a few weeks ago who said he was getting the first ticket out of here next time he hears “aloha spirit”: I think he should open his eyes and see that it is everywhere if he took the time to look for it.

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD ALMOST HEROES They’re either earnestly civic-minded or people with issues, but in several dozen cities across the country, men (and a few women) dress in homemade superhero costumes and patrol marginal neighborhoods, aiming to deter crime. Phoenix’s Green Scorpion and New York City’s Terrifica and Orlando’s Master Legend and Indianapolis’ Mr. Silent are just a few of the 200 gunless, knifeless vigilantes listed on the World Superhero Registry, most presumably with day jobs but who fancy cleaning up the mean streets at night.

According to two recent reports (in Rolling Stone and The Times of London), unanticipated gripes by the “Reals,” as they call themselves, are boredom from lack of crime and (especially in the summer) itchy spandex outfits.

HAS NOT BEEN READING THE NEWS The owner of a local ski shop told Colorado’s Vail Daily in November that he was confident he could sell his parking space in a town garage for his asking price of $500,000. After all, he said, it was on the top floor and next to an exit.

Gotta Go includes a toilet and brings the flushing process to life for the child. An industry insider told the Washington Post that next season’s toys would be even more realistic.

PRIME REAL ESTATE The Platinum Lounge, a lap-dancing club in Chester, England, announced in November that it would begin selling advertising, in 4-by-6-inch body-paint squares, on dancers’ derrieres. Said the club’s agent, “I had to do a lot of research…to come up with the optimum size for the [ads]!”

HEAD TRAUMA Two brain surgeons in the western U.S. admitted that recent operations had shaken them up, though both said the patients have since been doing nicely. Dr. Peter Nakaji, expecting to find a dreaded tumor in the brain of a woman in Phoenix, was heard on a video of the surgery chuckling when he realized the problem was merely a worm on the brain stem (probably acquired from poor sanitation).

And in December, a 3-day-old infant was doing well in Colorado Springs following the discovery and removal of a tiny, almost perfectly formed foot from his brain by Dr. Paul Grabb.

BUYING CRAP

AND YOU THOUGHT CENTIPEDES WERE BAD

Among the best-selling and most controversial toys of this past holiday season were the $39.95 Mattel Gotta Go Doll and the $59.95 Hasbro Baby Alive, both because of their interactive features, especially their digestion/excretion functions. The latter doll comes with its own food (“green beans,” “bananas”) and a warning (“May stain some surfaces”). The

More than 1,000 new animal species were discovered in the last decade in the area surrounding the Mekong River that runs through Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam, including striped rabbits and a spider bigger than a dinner plate.

‘CLICK’ OF

THE WEEK

Amid all the pomp and circumstance of the Inauguration, there was one cathartic moment that slipped through the cracks. If you missed it, it’s worth watching: Six-and-ahalf minutes of commentary-free footage of Cheney and Bush exiting the Capitol on a fittingly cold, windswept January day. First there’s Cheney, looking positively Strangelovian in his dark gloves and wheelchair, being ushered into the back of a black limo. Then Dubya, smirking and posturing to the end, boards a helicopter with longsuffering Laura at his side, and as the thing slowly disappears into the gray, tumid sky you’re left with an odd mixture of anger and release.

Even though they almost assuredly won’t be held accountable for their crimes, they’re gone. At long last, they’re gone. –JS

But of course there’s no substitute for firsthand experience.

Plus, the more eyes that are pointed at those folks the better. Put it this way: if they could, I imagine the LC would bar the public before you can say “artificial public hair.” (For those new to this column…oh, never mind. It’d take too long to explain. Just go search the archives at mauitime.com.)

I bring all this up because I’ve received a couple e-mails recently from actual citizens asking how, when and where they can attend the LC’s intimate get-togethers.

Part of the reason environmental efforts are in desperation mode is because Maui’s planning process has operated something like a game show called Who Wants to Approve/Build/Sell a House for a Millionaire? The resultant impacts of this high-end development have been many: lost beachfront areas and coastal access; storm runoff and degraded coral reef ecosystems; strains on parks and wilderness areas; loss of open space views; tapped out fresh-water aquifers; and a sagging sense of defeat, a feeling in the community that there’s no way to stop or slow runaway development.

Rip-roaringly fun as they are, it had never really occurred to me that members of the public would want to attend LC meetings unless they had some immediate stake in one of the cases being heard. In fact, that’s kind of the impetus behind this column: we go so you don’t have to.

What will be the final answer? ue the music. Get your phone-afriend on standby. The clock is ticking, and Maui’s precious environment and quality of life are at stake!

ziplines, hula shows, parasailing and celebrity chefs.

Indeed, more and more experts are touting the wisdom of revamping our economy into something more locally sustainable, and in doing our part to show the rest of the planet what is possible.

“It is not enough to just worry about Maui and Hawaii,” said Amazon ethnobotanist Mark Plotkin last week, during remarks at

For anyone else out there with the same burning question, here are the basics.

The Department of Liquor Control has two arms: the Liquor Commission, which grants, renews and denies applications for liquor licenses and adopts rules; and the Adjudication Board, which considers alleged violations of the rules and metes out punishment.

Generally, both the Commission and the Adjudication Board meet once a month, though months are skipped with some frequency. Meetings take place in the David K. Trask office building in Wailuku.

More info can be found on the county Web site (co.maui.hi.us). Click on “departments” and select “Liquor Control.”

Some of the meetings are quick and breezy; others are butt-numbingly long. Most contain at least one juicy nugget or quotable quote, though often you’ve got to slog through a lot of legalese.

And no, unfortunately, drinking is not allowed.

- Jacob Shafer

ROBREPORT the Dowling Company-sponsored Focus Green lecture series at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center. “Every place in the world needs indigenous peoples and cultures respected and protected.

All primary forest should be protected.”

Plotkin’s work as founder and president of the Amazon Conservation Team has won him high praise, including being named one of 2008’s Social Entrepreneurs of the Year by the Skoll Foundation. He has led efforts that have trained 60 indigenous park rangers, linked traditional medicine practitioners, built a hospital out of rainforest materials and trained native people in map-making skills, with assistance from Google Earth. As a result, more than six million acres of Amazon cultural lands and rivers are now mapped, helping defend loss of those areas to loggers, gold miners, agri-businesses and other interlopers who would fell the rainforests for their own gain.

Plotkin emphasized the prevailing theme espoused by native shamans— that every action is interconnected, that “it’s all tied together.

“All of these problems are caused by people and can be solved by people. But everyone must be involved,” said Plotkin.

Indeed, if ever there was a time to encourage full participation in addressing and supporting the challenges before us, it is now.

South Maui Sustainability (SMS), the upstart community group inspired by last year’s Focus Green speakers, is stepping up to the plate.

In less than a year, they have spread awareness and information on a number of topics. et’s get back to our game.

Which of the following was not the subject of a recent public presentation by speakers hosted by South Maui Sustainability?

A. Renewable energy

L

BY ROB PARSONS ROBPARSONS@EARTHLINK.NET

B. Walkable communities, transportation choices and public health C. Backyard gardening and composting D. Raising chickens in an urban neighborhood SMS’s Web site has become a huge portal of useful links for almost anything “green,” clean or eco-oriented, and so far without any substantial funding—just lots of enthusiasm. But a quick scan of committees reveals that SMS has established a fundraising and grants team, a wise idea if they hope to continue their initial flurry of successes.

Oh yes, the correct answer above is “D.” There already seems to be sufficient local knowledge about raising fowl island-wide, while some have cried foul over being awakened by neighboring roosters.

Maui Tomorrow and Sierra Club are two organizations with plenty to crow about, including successful litigation to uphold local ordinances and state laws. But legal efforts, as we all know, can’t get by on chicken feed.

It would be a mistake to characterize these two groups as being lawsuit happy, however.

In instances such as the state’s fast-tracking of Hawaii Superferry approvals ahead of legal environmental review, both groups made extensive efforts to resolve issues without legal intervention. But with intransigence all the way up to the governor’s office, the matter went to court anyway.

The Supreme Court ruling in favor of the environmental groups was quickly reversed by a special legislative session resulting in Act 2, allowing Superferry to sail again. Only now are the real costs— both in dollars and to the environment— beginning to be felt and understood.

A recent Honolulu Advertiser article listed at least $5 million in additional, unanticipated expenses in subsidizing Superferry, beyond the $40 million originally budgeted by the state. It is to the credit of these grassroots eco-groups that they raised sufficient funds to mount a legal challenge to protect Hawaii resources and taxpayers—and to win. But the meter is running, and these efforts and so many others also require support.

ur environment is our economy.

That’s a line that’s been repeated many times, with varying degrees of authenticity. To assure that our elected officials and decision-makers set us on the right track and help establish a new green foundation of renewable energy and sustainability, we need watchdog efforts to guard the public’s interests.

Greater presence is needed at the state legislature and Public Utility Commission to ensure that emerging renewable energy policy includes grassroots community input, and is not merely top-down planning by the governor, Hawaiian Electric Company, and their chosen designees. Great vigilance will be required to allow competition, encourage decentralization and promote energy efficiency and conservation.

Continuing oversight is needed with our county council on planning issues, especially when they will be asked to review final longrange planning recommendations set forth by the General Plan Advisory Committee, now nearing completion of its monumental task. Advocacy for food sovereignty and fair allocation of fresh water resources is essential, as land and water decisions have long been controlled by plantation politics.

Such efforts and initiatives must be supported with the same enthusiasm we islanders sometimes reserve for surfing, New Year’s fireworks, shopping or Super Bowl parties. In short, each and every person needs to contribute something, anything, in order for us to succeed.

Barack Obama’s campaign was victorious in part because so many people were engaged, even at a level of contributing $5, or slapping on a bumper sticker.

Similar widespread support is essential for local environmental and sustainability planning to succeed.

As one who has adopted the watchdog moniker in my quests to improve Maui’s

O

community, and protect the environment we all enjoy, I, too, am feeling the economic pinch. I was fortunate to serve four years as the Maui County Environmental Coordinator, thanks to the vision of Mayor Alan Arakawa.

Recently, philanthropic funding has enabled me to continue grant research and work on alternative energy, water and food issues and island planning. Now, that financial support is gone.

I have been in conversations with key Maui eco-warriors about establishing MANA—the Maui Action Network Alliance—to better connect and enhance the existing efforts of many great organizations, as well as working with government. Two or three full-time employees could make a considerable positive impact, much as Malama Kauai has done over the past year.

This vision will require big-money donors, while so many of us are just trying to get by. In the meantime, I’ve buffed out a Web site that archives much of my writing and advocacy efforts, and added a PayPal button for easy donations. This is my unabashed invitation to each of you to visit that Web site and to give whatever you can.

Know that your contribution will be used wisely, and will make a difference.

As Amazon rainforest collaborator Mark Plotkin said, everyone must be involved for us to be successful. Everything is interconnected. Malama pono.

THE WEEK IN REVIEW

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21 This is what we’re in for, folks. The Obama presidency is barely 24 hours old and already the Fox News team is salivating over the fact that he’s “not really president” because he said the word “faithfully” at the wrong moment or something. To be clear: I am not saying Obama deserves anything resembling a free pass from the media; quite the opposite. With his sky-high approval rating and the pervasive sense of national panic, there are some disturbing parallels to the post-9/11 political climate when, you’ll remember, the mainstream press, with few exceptions, gave Bush the reverential kid-glove treatment. And we all know how that turned out. So yes, of course, we must question our leader and hold his feet to the fire when necessary. But not this tired brand of petty hairsplitting. Listen Fox: we know you’ve gone into a deep state of collective depression now that the Decider is an unemployed private citizen, but no amount of wishing will make him president again.

If you really miss the guy that much, why don’t you go to like round-the-clock coverage of him clearing brush on his ranch or something and let the rest of us move on with the business of climbing out of the giant, gaping hole he put us in.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 22 The best thing about the start of a new legislative session (and it’s a long list to choose from) is the soaring, hyperboleladen speeches. Obama has set the bar pretty high in that department, but state Senate chief Colleen Hanabusa managed to clear it during her opening remarks: “These are the times when we show the people what we are made of. I am here to pledge this body’s unflinching commitment to putting the needs of Hawaii’s people before all other considerations.” So step one will be foregoing that 36 percent pay hike, right?

Right?… In other news: Considering that she used to be one notch above Satan and just below gay Teletubbies (remember that?) on the Republicans’ list of people to blame for everything, it’s pretty amazing that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was confirmed by a 94-2 vote in the Senate.

Whether it’s due to her fence-mending efforts or the strong push for national unity, Hillary, for better or worse, has come a long way from her “vast right-wing conspiracy” days. (Though you know a couple of those crusty old GOP barnacles wept a little inside when they muttered their “ayes.”)

FRIDAY, JANUARY 23 Time to play, Is This Good News? A number of highway projects on Maui that have languished for lack of funds could get a shot in the arm under a $4.2 billion statewide plan unveiled by Gov. Lingle. (Good news!)

The projects will be paid for by increasing the gas tax and hiking vehicle registration and other fees. (Hmmm—bad news?) But lawmakers have promised that no tax increases will be implemented until Hawaii enjoys two consecutive quarters of at least 1 percent job growth, as reported in today’s Maui News. Which, given the gloomy predictions of many economists, could be a while. (Now I’m just confused.)

SATURDAY, JANUARY 24 Congratulations to Maui boy Destin Daniel Cretton, whose short film, Short Term 12, won a jury prize at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival. Cretton, who grew up in Haiku, cut his teeth as a producer at Akaku before having a documentary he made for the community access station picked up by HBO in 2007.

In a statement on Akaku’s Web site, President and CEO Jay April called

“God, I hope that’s sunscreen.”

- Woman observing a large dollop of white cream on her husband’s chin at Kam II in Kihei

Cretton “a positive role model for Maui residents young and old.” Man, first Shane Victorino and now this. I think we might be enjoying a role model surplus.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 25 Hey, you know what we haven’t talked about in a while? The Superferry. First comes news that the Department of Transportation and Gov. Lingle are looking to sink another $5 million into the vessel. That includes $1.5 million for the Environmental Impact Statement required by Act 2, which you’ll recall is the law signed by Lingle that allowed the Superferry to begin operations without an EIS. So, to recap: the boat was launched, controversially, without an EIS; there have been problems, many of them related to the fact that an EIS wasn’t completed; and now state officials want more money to deal with some of those problems and complete the EIS. Is your head spinning yet? And speaking of problems: a few days ago the Honolulu Star-Bulletin ran a short item under this opposite-of-reassuring headline: “No whale strike occurred, Superferry says.” If the Superferry camp is saying there wasn’t a strike that must mean somebody is saying there was. That somebody is a passenger who reportedly called a federal hotline during a morning voyage.

According to the Save Kahului Harbor blog, the passenger is sticking to his story despite the Superferry’s conclusion that there is “no credible evidence” of a strike and thus no need for further investigation. The bigger question of course is: what is the Superferry doing to avoid collisions with

whales and other ocean creatures? Not much, apparently. Scientists and environmentalists have called for the installation of water-level cameras and a meter that would record collision-related slowdowns.

You know, the kind of stuff that a thorough, completed EIS could have mandated back before the boat ever left the harbor. Why didn’t anybody think of that?

MONDAY, JANUARY 26 OK, let’s be fair: I hear the Superferry has really comfortable seats. So comfortable, in fact, that you can barely feel the impact when it hits a whale.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 27 Gov. Lingle delivered her State of the State address yesterday. (Side note: they really need to come up with a less awkward name.

“Condition of the Commonweal?” “Trim of the Territory?”

“Status of the Sovereignty?”) Lingle promised upfront it would be “a fairly typical speech,” and for the most part she kept her word. Probably the best part was near the end, when the Guv announced she’s “enthused” to work “as a colleague rather than an adversary” with her esteemed cohorts in the legislature. “I will do more than reach across the aisle,” promised Lingle. “I will walk across the aisle.” She will dance across the aisle. She will leap across the aisle. Actually, you know what?

She’s just gonna tear the aisle right out of there and everyone can sit on her lap in a giant chair while she reads them bedtime stories from the Superferry EIS. Can you feel the love? MTW

A sound mind in a sound body is a short but “ full description of a happy state in this world. ” John Locke

L

ife is a minefield for the seeker of good health. In every direction there are forces conspiring to knock you from the path: stress, junk food, the welcoming arms of an

easy chair. Getting—and more importantly staying—fit can feel like an insurmountable chore.

But health, as they say, is a journey, not a destination.

Contained in that well-worn phrase is a valuable kernel of wisdom. You can’t view your health as a job to be tackled or a task to be completed; the work of your body and mind is never done (until it is, but that’s a topic for another issue). That may sound daunting, but it’s all in how you view it.

Think back to a time in your life when you felt really, fundamentally good in every respect (yes, in your mind, body and spirit).

The thoughts you’re likely conjuring up aren’t of grueling workouts or restrictive diets, but rather a general, pervasive sense of calm, happiness, confidence. Working on your body—on your temple, to borrow another cliché that is nonetheless endowed with insight—is not a zero sum game. As you gain in one area, you strengthen others. Well-being builds on itself.

And, of course, you’re not alone in the journey. Especially on Maui, where the breathtaking beauty of nature serves as constant inspiration, there are myriad sources of assistance for those looking to nourish themselves both inside and out.

In the following pages we’ve highlighted a few of these health helpers. Of course each individual’s tastes and tendencies will be different and our sampling is far from exhaustive. Not every diet or treatment will work for everyone. Our goal is merely to give you a place to start, and to remind you that no matter how much the world may conspire against you, you’ve got allies on the path to physical, mental and spiritual wellness.

Here’s to your health.

Micki Ly, M.D.

By Jacob Shafer The thought of flaming needles didn’t exactly put me in a state of deep relaxation. But that’s the interesting thing about acupuncture—for me at least it was as much about realigning my perspective as my body.

Which is not to say my body didn’t need some work. Ever since my son started daycare he’s been bringing home a series of mutant viruses along with the finger paintings. I’m generally a one-illness-a-year guy, but lately aches and sniffles have been a disturbingly perpetual condition.

I’ll admit that when I saw the row of smoldering needles in my abdomen my Westernized brain had a fleeting moment of panic.

But the treatment feels too good to fight it.

Naïve as I may be to many aspects of alternative medicine, I’ve always been intrigued by the concept. Acupuncture especially is something I’ve wanted to try for years, but, truth be told, have avoided out of fear.

Fear of what? You already guessed it: needles. In Western medicine, needles are always associated with necessary-butunpleasant things like immunizations and anesthesia. They numb us to pain or inoculate us against disease and so we grit our teeth and look away. But they aren’t fun.

Wipe those associations away. Acupuncture needles are nothing like the big intimidating surgical deals. They’re small, almost cute, even when they’ve been set on fire. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

You’ve probably never seen Iao Acupuncture unless you’ve gone there for a treatment. Tucked away at the end of North Church Street in Wailuku in a small residential nook, it’s one of those places where you’re sure you’ve gotten lost until you reach the entrance, then you instantly know you’re in the right spot.

A red-painted wooden archway leads into a small, tranquil, landscaped yard replete with rocks and the requisite babbling water fixture. After removing my slippers and entering the small office, I was immediately greeted and offered some water.

A short wait later, I found myself seated across from owner and acupuncturist Christine Asuncion, whose impressive resume includes a Masters degree from the Pacific College of

Oriental medicine, experience in fields ranging from sports medicine to rehabilitative therapy and apprenticeships under some of the world’s most renowned practitioners. With a straightforward but friendly bedside manner, Christine ran through the basics of what she does, explaining the benefits of acupuncture and the difference between Japanese style, which is mostly what she practices, Continued on pg. 15

Maui dermatologist Micki Ly, M.D. and staff are located at the Aloha Dermatology and LaserCenter in Kahului.

The new, client-friendly floor plan is designed to provide space for comprehensive and specialized skin care services.

“Our vision was to provide our patients with a full-service clinic and at the same time through good design, create a setting that promotes a positive experience for our patients,” said Dr. Ly. “We’ve paid a lot of attention to patient comfort and privacy.”

With larger facilities, Dr. Ly has added space for more services including expanded patient education materials, additional products, samples, and the implementation of a more efficient schedule management system, which results in less waiting time for appointments.

“Aloha was included in our name because it captures the spirit of care, compassion, hospitality, and respect we strive to convey to our clients.” said Dr. Ly. We love making people look and feel better.”

Dr. Ly and her staff are excited about the level of care the new location provides room for.

“Amazing advances in health care allow us to offer our clients a fuller array of services in dermatology and cosmetic procedures,” said Dr. Ly. The new office is located at 89 Ho‘okele Street, Suite 101, in Kahului, right behind The Home Depot. The new location is surrounded by convenient parking spaces.

Continued from pg. 13 and other styles like Chinese or Korean (variations mainly center on how and where exactly the needles are placed).

Of course I was glad to learn I was in capable hands, and the information Christine provided was both easy to understand and informative. But I couldn’t shake that silly, nagging question: will it hurt?

The answer is: no, not really. Though Christine says different people have different reactions—ranging from tingling to warmth to slight throbbing to nothing at all—the most intense sensation I felt would best be described as mild discomfort, but the good kind. You know what I mean—the type of pain that’s not only bearable but oddly, undeniably pleasant.

Getting back to those needles: in addition to being diminutive and non-threatening, they’re placed carefully just under the surface of your skin.

Subtlety. That word sums up not only the needle placement but the whole experience.

OK, now what about the fire? Yes, I was wondering the same thing myself. The technique, called moxibustion, involves placing a small amount of the herb mugwort (also called moxa) either on the end of the needle or directly on the body and igniting it. Trust me, it’s way less scary than it sounds and doesn’t hurt at all. The effect is a gradual but noticeable warming of the area around the needle, which intensifies the sensation but never approaches the feeling of being burned.

I’ll admit that when, at my request, Christine held up a mirror to show me the row of smoldering needles in my abdomen my Westernized brain had a fleeting moment of panic. But the treatment feels too good to fight it.

After the moxa had been snuffed out and the needles removed I transitioned to a 20-minute date with an electronic massager that looks kind of like a very inviting MRI machine, if you can picture such a thing. Your feet go in instead of your head and the tube slides up to your shoulders. Heat is radiated from above while rollers move down your back and legs. When it comes to massage, my official stance is that there’s no substitute for the human touch. While I still think that’s true, this wasn’t one of those vibrating gizmos you get your mom for Mother’s Day. The rollers had clearly been programmed to hit key points with precision and firm but not overpowering pressure. The heat, meanwhile, aided relaxation. I closed my eyes and the time flew by.

Overall, my initial trepidation aside, the experience was extremely worthwhile. I walked out into the wet Wailuku afternoon with an overall sense of well-being; things looked a little clearer, my step was a little lighter. It was the kind of feeling that’s difficult to pinpoint (hey, unintentional acupuncture pun) but impossible to ignore. And I haven’t had a head cold since.

Plus, now I can tell anyone who questions my manliness that I was once stuck full of flaming needles Iao Acupuncture is located at 2114 N. Church St., Wailuku. and not only did I live to tell the tale, For more information call I enjoyed it. MTW

By Kate Bradshaw

It’s not like we scorn bathing or believe that goji berries are infused with the essence of the Holy Spirit. Most of us don’t, anyway.

Yet vegetarians and vegans are often pigeonholed.

Granted, we are marginal. But we’re not extreme. My choosing to pour soymilk into my coffee does not signify a desire to dismantle civilization as we know it (we’re doing a good job of that as it is).

It’s easy to see why there’s a stigma attached to people who choose not to consume animal products, given the number of individuals who follow this lifestyle out of 1) a pseudo-spiritual longing for so-called oneness, wholeness or whatever happens to be the hippest state of being (or nonbeing, I guess) at the moment; or 2) the need for a soapbox atop which to stand.

Those people are the ones that stay veg for a few weeks before rationalizing their consumption of a burger while stoned.

Contrary to these stereotypes, most vegetarians and vegans have very rational reasons for adhering to a plantbased diet.

Recent years have turned up research that points to veganism (avoidance of anything that comes from an animal, from steaks to caviar to cream) as a means of improving a number of health conditions, namely Type II diabetes, a condition that’s on the rise both in Hawaii and nationwide.

Hawaii has thousands of vegetarians and vegans. Laurelee Blanchard, president of the Maui chapter of the Vegetarian Society of Hawaii, says that the organization has over 2,000 members.

This, according to the VSH Web site, makes the group one of the largest vegetarian societies in the nation.

Membership does not consist solely of moon howlers and Seventh Day Adventists (not that there’s anything wrong with that…).

“We’re all-encompassing and we’ve got a wide umbrella,” Blanchard says. “We welcome everybody.”

People give up animal products for a wide variety of reasons: health, ethical and moral considerations, spiritual beliefs, environmental concerns and as a means of weight control (though restricting one’s diet in this way will probably not make you railthin. If it does, you’re doing it wrong).

VSH members reflect this diversity, Blanchard says.

The group doesn’t have regular meetings, but instead hosts lectures and presentations by speakers brought in from across the globe. They offer (but don’t force) information about vegetarianism at the talks.

VSH’s monthly lectures reflect the diversity of the vegetarian community on Maui. Blanchard says the speakers truly run the gamut: esteemed dietitians, athletes, environmental activists, spiritual leaders and even comedians bring their angles on vegetarianism to the podium.

“Every speaker has a different approach,” says Blanchard, which reflects the herbivore community as a whole.

Yet omnivores are not uncommon in VSH lecture audiences.

Blanchard says that speakers often take an informal poll at the beginning of each event to see how many non-vegetarians are in attendance, and there are usually at least a few.

“We really like getting people who aren’t vegetarian or vegan because you’re not preaching to the choir,” she says.

Blanchard says lectures featuring health professionals like cardiologists and medical doctors have the biggest turnout.

Yet when author, comedian and Bizarro comic strip creator Dan Piraro spoke at VSH’s January edition, Blanchard says he drew around 100 people.

There was also a big turnout when Dr. Terry Shintani came and spoke about quick ways to lose 10 pounds last January.

The Optimum Living Alliance prepares vegan food for the events, showing the general public that vegan food doesn’t consist of twigs and leaves.

Continued from pg. 17 Contrary to what many might think, being vegetarian, and even vegan, on an island where Spam and fish reign is pretty easy.

There are thousands of vegan recipes online, and most ingredients are easy to find.

Plus, Maui has tons of restaurant options. Places like Fresh Mint in Paia offer all-vegan fare, and many more restaurants offer veggie options. Blanchard names Wailuku’s A Saigon Cafe, Moana Cafe in Paia and Polli’s in Makawao (which offers vegan ground-round as a meat substitute in any dish) as among the best bets on-island.

Other safe bets include Tiki Lounge (they cook all of their veggie items on a separate grill) and Wok Star in Kihei and Kahuna Kabob in Lahaina.

The fact that such establishments are acknowledging the existence of people who adhere to a meat-free diet is a good sign for a number of reasons.

First, it means that we can dine out with omnivore friends without worrying about our only option being spaghetti or iceberg lettuce.

Second, it signifies a growing tolerance for—if not acceptance of—this lifestyle.

Plus, while we don’t maintain the illusion that we’ll change everyone’s dietary habits, those that are curious about going veggie can experiment painlessly.

Most vegetarians and vegans are very passionate about the beliefs that drove them to adopt this lifestyle, but to be exclusive or irrational will not further the cause. Instead, being divisive serves to worsen the stigma we’re trying to shake off.

Many of us avoid animal products out of compassion and tolerance, so to criticize those who don’t adhere to our principles would be sheer hypocrisy. MTW

I like Buddha statues, essential oil and Indian artwork as much as the next girl. I’ve had many opportunities to search the New Age shelves for enlightenment in shops around my quietly eccentric hometown. But I admit I’ve never really felt like I was completely “getting it.” The spiritual, metaphysical stuff, I mean.

That began to change when I discovered Sylvia Wedmedyk’s Green Lotus, a hidden gem of a store that’s much more than meets the eye.

Inside its unassuming Wailuku storefront, a few pieces of Eastern artwork hang from the walls. There are also the typical figurines, incense, candleholders, a selection of bohemian clothes and a small collection of books and music.

The focus of Green Lotus, however, and Wedmedyk’s lifelong passion, is crystals and minerals. Thousands of pieces from her collection of unique and rare specimens spill neatly onto meticulously organized shelves around the room.

“People have told me my store is unique on Maui,” says the soft-spoken Wedmedyk, as she and her assistant Mary Rose Noel walk me through the store, pressing crystals into my hands and explaining which ones are used for relaxation or gaining inspiration, which ones heal toothaches and which are for breast cancer.

“A lot of times people have an inclination or a healing from a particular stone,” Wedmedvk explains. She says people will often intuitively choose a crystal that has an effect they are in need of, without knowing particularly what it is. It’s obvious that Wedmedyk knows much more than her fair share about these things.

“The stones speak to you,” says Noel. A beginner to crystal healing, she circles the room, showing me one favored stone and then another, describing all the different vibrations she picks up from them.

What I didn’t know about crystals when I waltzed into the store was, for starters, how many different kinds there are and how many ways they can potentially heal, protect, inspire and generally help people. I knew nothing about chakras, which apparently are closely liked with crystal healing.

The six-sided crystal of common quartz, for instance, is a transmitter of electrical energy (often used in watches), and in the same way it can be a transmitter of healing energy. The popular amethyst, which seems to be all over the store, has a calming effect and imparts peace and tranquility.

Wedmedyk said the purple crystal is particularly helpful for recovering alcoholics.

“But don’t keep it in the bedroom,” she cautions. “It’s not a sexual stone; it’s too soothing.”

The orange stones, like fiery carnelian, are the sexual ones. Soft pink rose quartz is the love stone; it kicks negative emotional energy to the proverbial curb.

“My boyfriend left me, he was falling in love with another woman,” says Wedmedyk, explaining her first personal experience with crystal healing. “I wore a rose quartz heart pendant around my neck and I could feel the pain in my heart draining into it.”

Rare crystals—like Wedmedyk’s Lemurian stones that supposedly have writing from an ancient society and moldavite crystals from falling meteors—are among the more powerful pieces in the Green Lotus collection. But everyday agates and turquoise have a place in the store as well. The place is like a little crystal museum, where all the artwork is for sale.

“They’re all my little babies,” Wedmedyk says.

I left Green Lotus a lot less skeptical about the power of crystals and minerals. I mean, if I can sleep better, heal faster or become more intuitive or wise just by being Green Lotus is located at in contact with a crystal, why wouldn’t I? 1816 Mill St., Wailuku.

“A Doctor’s Confession to Maui” And Why I Still Do What I Do...

CONFESSIONS ARE TOUGH. Real tough! Yet, sometimes a confession helps clear the air so there’s no misunderstanding.

Before I talk about my confession, though, let me say a few other things first.

Let me tell you about the picture you see of a very happy and loving family. The mother, Christina Kaina, was plagued with severe debilitating back pain, 24/7. So much that she was unable to sit, stand, lay down, walk or sleep without being in excruciating pain.

She wanted desperately to be pain fee and be a good mother to her children, and to push her son, Logan, in his stroller. So she did everything that her medical doctors told her to do.

Yet, after many doctor’s exams, specialized tests (i.e. CT and MRI scans) and tons of prescriptions, she was told that there is nothing that could be done. Her doctors declared her to be physically disabled.

Now imagine being a 35-yearold mother with two children who used to be healthy, active, happy and felt great, being declared physically disabled and being in constant pain 24/7.

After Christina started coming to our office, her problems improved, and her body started to heal itself. She was able to sleep all night without pain, she was able to push her son Logan around the neighborhood in his stroller.

She was having pain-free days

and regaining her previous healthy, happy active lifestyle as the best Mom she could be. She enjoyed playing with her children and participated in all family activities.

Her three-year-son, Logan, the baby in the picture, suffered from severe stomach and intestinal problems for half his life. After I started to adjust him, he improved immediately and is fully recovered.

The beautiful girl in the picture is Holly, who has had Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis since birth.

She is also getting adjusted and

“Dr. Hattaway has magic fingers.

Makes me feel 10 years younger.”

-Eddie “Mr. Aloha” Pu Hawaiian Kahuna

Christina says she has improvements in her immune system and no more headaches.

The big guy is the Dad, Andy, and after getting adjusted, his low back pain is gone.Andy states, “Getting adjusted has given me unlimited power to do whatever I want and work as hard as I like.”

People come to see me for headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, low back pain, whiplash from car accidents, ear infections, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs, athletic injuries, just to name a few.

Patients come to me and thank me for “curing” them, but I’m unable to really take the credit. My confession is that I’VE NEVER cured anyone of anything. What I do is perform specific spinal adjustments to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself. We get tremendous results with our patients.

You benefit from an amazing offer. It shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to correct your health.

When you mention this article, you’ll receive my entire exam, including xrays for $75. Even with xrays, this exam could cost you over $200 elsewhere. And further care is really affordable and you’ll be happy to know that I have affordable family plans.

Great care at a great fee...

Ashley and Jennifer will make you feel comfortable as soon as you meet them. Everyone enjoys coming to our office where they can relax and recharge. We have wonderful services, at an exceptional fee. Our office is called Maui Family Chiropractic, and is located at 95 Lono Avenue, Suite 203 in Kahului. Our phone number is 871-6218. Call us for an appointment. We can help you.

Mahalo, - DR. JAMES

H. HATTAWAY

"After giving birth to my daughter, “Chiropractic I was paralYzed and unable to adjustments saved me walk. After 4 months of receiving from back surgery, Dr. Hattaway's chiropractic care, Chiropractic I was able to walk on my own saves lives!” and enjoy my children. Dr. Hattaway - George Kahumoku Sr. has given me back my life. " Na Hoku Hanohano Winner - -Jolie Tufaga, daughter of Merlita Crespin

This is the era of the modern spa treatment. It helps of course that Maui is a tourist destination and home to a seemingly countless array of spas. The Valley Isle is also known for its open culture of healing.

Most resorts—which are catering more and more to locals in the face of the visitor downturn—have either recently built new spas or have expanded existing facilities. Maui also has quite a few small independent spas, which offer unique, lesser-known therapies.

In recent years, spa treatments have attained “trendy” status.

But spas, of course, are not new. Humans have known for thousands of years that heat, massage, baths and skin and other treatments have vital, transformative curing effects.

In recent years, spa treatments have gained cultural traction, to the point where they’ve attained “trendy” status. But spas, of course, are not new. The therapeutic spa was an integral part of ancient cultures from Rome to China. Humans have known for thousands of years that heat, massage, baths and skin and other treatments have vital, transformative curing effects.

Where the Western spa experience is more clinical, the Eastern spa ritual is earthier. I was drawn to Mandara Spa at the Wailea Marriot Resort and Spa. The massage menu here is rich with cultural treatments: Lomi Lomi, Thai, Shiatsu, Reiki, Indian Ayurveda and Balinese massage, to name a few. After scanning exotic therapies like coconut rub and milk ritual wrap, frangipani and body nourish wrap, I decided on a traditional Javanese Lulur. This body therapy has its roots in 17th century cleansing rituals for brides in Java, Indonesia. While my bridal moment has come and gone, I was hoping this treatment could relieve stress, tame a few knots in my neck and leave my skin exfoliated and recharged. Ingredients like turmeric, red rice, fenugreek, jasmin, and ylang ylang are combined into a paste that is rubbed on your body, leaving your skin smooth, refreshed and invigorated.

The Balinese style of massage that followed really removed tension from my muscles. I’m sure the almost impossibly tranquil spa setting helped.

“The main feature that defines a Balinese massage is the use of the fingers and thumbs, which are used to apply deep circling and stroking pressures, working into the muscles,” explains principal therapist Amanda Pasiuk.

“Unlike Shiatsu or Thai massage, the pressure is not static, but sensitively moves into the body and trigger points to relieve muscle tension.”

Mandara has a lot of options that cater to the resident Mauian who’s on a budget but looking to spluge. On Tuesdays they offer a two-for-one kama‘aina special where two people can get treatments for the price of one.

“A visit to the spa will help remind you some of the reasons visitors keep returning to the island,” says spa director Andrew Johnston. “Living here it is easy to become Continued on pg. 22

Continued from pg. 21 wrapped up in ‘real life’ and we forget that we live in a tropical paradise that most of the world can only dream of visiting in their lifetime. The entire spa experience allows you to treat yourself like ancient royalty, even if only for a moment.”

Adds therapist Pasiuk: “A day in the spa allows you to reconnect with your body, mind and spirit. It promotes healing from within a sanctuary that provides a safe escape from the outside world.” MTW

Make your own Lulur body treatment If your’re strapped for cash and can’t make it to a big spa for a fancy treatment you can try this at home. Don’t worry, it’s easy: you probably have many of these ingredients already, and if not everything can be found easily at the drugstore, supermarket or natural food store. Feel free to substitute your favorite essential oils and other components to suit your tastes.

JASMINE LULUR Combine approximately 3 tablespoons of Mochiko rice flour in a small bowl with 2 teaspoons turmeric, 1 teaspoon sandalwood essential oil, 3 drops jasmine oil and a splash of water to make a paste.

Put two cups of plain yogurt in another bowl How to use it: 1. Massage a body oil of your choice into your skin 2. Take the paste and rub over your body. Let it dry. Rub off body for exfoliation 3. Rinse 4. Take the yogurt and rub over your body. Yogurt is a natural lactic acid that smoothes and moisturizes your skin 5. Rinse and soak in a bath. Add flowers or bath salts as desired

When you think of personal trainers, you might picture some ‘roided out Schwarzenegger wannabe screaming in your face to “pump it” or “push it,” or an overly peppy, Diet Pepsi-swilling cheerleader type. And even if you do find a trainer you like working with, you still have to go to the gym, find parking, fight traffic and share sweat with a bunch of strangers.

A sportsmedicine.com poll asked 1,500 people what kept them from going to the gym. Forty-six percent said gyms where too crowded; 21 percent said they didn’t know how to properly use the equipment; 19 percent said they thought they were the only ones not already in shape; 11 percent said the gyms were full of rude people who don’t wipe off their machines. And 3 percent said they were simply afraid.

If you fall into any of these categories, you might want to consider a different approach. That approach might come courtesy of Catherine Maurice.

Maurice, the founder of Maurice In-Home Personal Training, literally brings the workout to you. Schedule a session with her and she’ll be at your doorstep, equipment in tow, ready to motivate, educate and, if necessary, even kick a little butt.

Maurice started her career training in large corporate gyms but felt stifled. Expected to sell sessions more than get results for her clients, Maurice says she got fed up.

“They didn’t care about their clients, just their sales figures,” she says. “You had to shut them off at 50 minutes and move on the next person. It was so impersonal.”

So Maurice set out three years ago to start her own business. She wanted to help people by making working out easier. She wanted to train people on their own terms, away from the gym and away from the stress, insecurity and fear.

Schedule a session with Catherine Maurice and she’ll be at your doorstep, equipment in tow, ready to motivate, educate and, if necessary, even kick a little butt.

“People feel more at ease in their own space. It’s easier for them to express themselves and open up,” says Maurice. “It’s an opportunity to build a real relationship with clients.”

Becca Wells of Kihei is one such client. Wells says while she has a gym membership, she finds it difficult to find guidance.

“It’s kind of hard to ask a stranger for help if you’re not sure how to do something,” says Wells. “It’s way more motivating [with Catherine]. I know she’s going to be there and I get pumped up for it.”

Wells is among a rapidly growing client base that Maurice thinks is simply ready for something new. Maurice said her work as a yoga and Pilates instructor helps her diversify her sessions. With a B.S. in Sports Medicine and years of study and training in nutrition, alternative healing and mind/body work, Maurice’s knowledge base is both varied and vast.

You can tell by talking to Catherine that this is her life’s work.

“I’m passionate about it and it makes me feel good,” she says. “And it makes me really happy when I can get someone else to feel the same way.”

There will always be giant fitness facilities—and that approach can work for some people—but it’s nice knowing there are alternatives out there. Catherine Maurice has taken the best parts of a personal trainer—the one-on-one experience, accountability, motivation and guidance—and packaged them up for home delivery. Once she’s at your door, there’s no putting off your workout ‘til tomorrow. And once you start feeling and looking better, you won’t want to. MTW

ONO KINEGRINDS

BY JACOB SHAFER JACOB@MAUITIME.COM

They’ve got a peel Bustling new Internet cafe joins the Paia bunch. Don’t miss the pudding... aia is getting dangerously close to good restaurant overload. Though there are solid dining establishments sprinkled across the island, no town can claim a higher concentration of can’t-miss eateries than Maui’s cozy little North Shore hamlet.

Add another one to the list.

Green Banana Cafe, which opened last month and touts itself as an “Organic Eco Internet Cafe”, welcomes passersby with a vibrant interior and spacious outdoor seating.

People and their laptops are scat-

P

tered about in that leisurely coffee shop way, enjoying free Wi-Fi while they sip drinks and nibble on fresh pastries from the amply stocked display case.

Green Banana Cafe 137-B Hana Hwy., Paia Open daily, 6am-8pm (6am-7pm Sundays) 579-9130

Upstairs, sunburned surfers and European tourists check their Facebook pages and print airline tickets on public computers ($3 for a half hour; $1 for every 10 minutes thereafter).

Art lines the wall. Owner Dean Wong tells me he plans to get regular live music up and running in the near future. He also says they’ll keep expanding the menu.

Right now the menu is small, but what it lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality.

They’ve got two smoothies at the moment, one featuring bananas and mixed berries, the other centered around acai (pronounced “ah-sigh-ee”) a rich, purple, almost chocolatey berry that’s been steadily gaining popularity in recent years. It’s touted for its nutritional umph and I have no reason to doubt that it’s good for you, but the main thing is it tastes excellent and is capable of carrying a smoothie, something not every berry can claim.

Photos: best banana pudding ever (left); mixed berry smoothie (right).

Green Banana also mixes hot drinks, including made-on-site chai. They’ve got bagels and locally baked goodies and…I can’t believe I’ve gotten this far without mentioning the banana pudding.

Now, I’ll preface this by saying I have a mixed relationship with the banana. Oh I like it fine in some things, but I’ve found for my palate, a little goes a long way.

Which is to say: normally you wouldn’t find me raving about banana pudding.

But these are not normal circumstances. Created using a recipe passed down from his father that Wong estimates is more than 70 years old, the pudding is sweet but not too sweet, creamy but not overpoweringly rich. Garnished with whipped cream, some banana slices and a deliciously mysterious cookie-like

swirl, it’s the kind of dessert where you wish you had a spatula instead of a spoon to scrape those last few dollops off the bottom of the bowl.

Wong says his goal was to create a hip coffee shop—the kind you’d find in Seattle or San Francisco—while staying true to what makes Maui, Maui. To that end, Green Banana uses mostly local, organic ingredients (and they hang cool surfboards from the ceiling). Wong adds that he knows times are tough. “I think people should be able to get a good cup of coffee and something to eat for $10 or less,” he says.

That’s great, but honestly I’d pay whatever he asked for some more of that pudding. Seriously. It’s really good. MTW

After waiting in the insanely long line for half-price sushi, we finally scored a table and my friend ordered a Corona, thinking he’d have a few sips of beer with his discounted rolls. What arrived was a 24 oz. beast that hit the table with a dull thud. To be fair, they do warn you on the menu that the Corona comes only in supersized form—and my friend managed to finish the thing with few complaints. 1881 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei, 879-0004.

FRED’S Fred’s is known for a few things. Cheap tacos probably top the list, but beer definitely beats out the killer view for the number two slot. An associate who dips her beak at Moose’s downstairs neighbor with some frequency describes the big beer option as a “fishbowl.” You can fill that bowl with any of the numerous beers they’ve got on tap. Have enough and you might start seeing actual fish swirling in the bottom, a sure sign it’s time to put the brakes on, or at least make sure your DD is hasn’t wandered off to the beach. 2511 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei, 891-8600.

CAFÉ MARC AUREL We like to promote local ale whenever possible (see below) but there’s an undeniable fact that can’t be ignored: our friends in Europe make pretty excellent beer. One example is Germany’s Franziskaner Hefeweizen, which comes in a lovably large bottle at Wailuku’s hip little café (which is known for its wine but deserves credit for carrying an intriguing array of beers). One rule with this baby: forgo the glass and handle the bottle. Builds character. 24 N. Market St., Wailuku, 244-0852.

So this is kind of cheating because technically I don’t think you’re supposed to drink them at the bar, but no list containing the words “ginormous” and “beer” would be complete without mentioning the growler.

Derelict wind When Byron Brown and his crew blow through town, expect the unexpected Byron Brown and the Derelicts are trouble.

I know firsthand.

I had anticipated the standard interview: How long have you played together? Who are your influences?

You know the drill.

The three-piece band showed up at my Wailuku office at roughly 3:15pm on a Friday.

“We’re going bowling,” Brown, sporting a pair of gigantic rock star sunglasses, said.

Impossible, I thought. There’s one bowling alley on the island, which happens to be down the street, but it’s always closed for league play. Besides, slipping unnoticed past the honchos during business hours is a challenge in my office.

Yet somehow within 15 minutes, there we were, sucking down BYO Heinekens, hurling rocks toward the pins and taking turns strumming LIVE ENTERTAINMENT - FAMILY FRIENDLY

seen. His kit includes at least a dozen pieces, including toms and snares ranging in tone, all of which he uses.

Bass player and backup vocalist Alan Jacob fared better at the game, and coached me on my own. The soft-spoken Galveston, Texas native has been with the band all of three weeks. Anyone who needs proof of his lifelong devotion to music need only observe the symmetric fshaped soundholes (the kind you see on a cello) tattooed on his upper arms.

Brown rolled on intermittent turns, but didn’t keep score. He was jamming most of the time, as he had convinced the woman behind the counter to let him play inside. Between turns I would ask him to explain some of his lyrics.

The song “It’s Cool,” a funky, catchy tune that you can hear on their MySpace page, is about breaking up with a girl who isn’t taking a hint. “Old Man Barbarino” is about a guy who sells second-hand clothes out of his trunk. Brown says that a lot of his lyrics follow a narrative, and many are composites of various experiences he’s had.

We were asked to leave the premises at around 4:30pm, surprisingly not due to bad behavior but because that was when the place actually closes.

We headed to Iao Valley to finish the interview and jam some more.

Brown explained the depravity that inspires many of his lyrics as well as the type of music one can expect the band’s shows.

Their sound, he says, is “all over the place.”

Their influences range from Marvin Gaye to various genres of Latin music to, yes, Dave Matthews Band. Their sets comprise mostly originals, but they throw in a few covers including Weezer’s “Say It Aint So” and Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get it On.” “What about ‘Sweet Home Alabama?’” I asked. “I hate that song.”

“I’ve never wanted to be that band and I never will be,” Brown said.

They delivered me, mildly sloshed, back to my office shortly after dark. I agreed to check out their show the following night.

Saturday’s show started out pretty lowkey despite the band’s volume and energy, but by the end of the night the patch of wood that serves as the Dog and Duck’s dance floor was pretty packed.

I turned my attention to those in attendance. The bar perked up as soon as the guys started, and the room’s energy stayed consistent throughout.

The music seemed to have power over the audience—heads bobbed during the funky, high-energy tunes and faces appeared wistful when they broke out slower tunes, especially during “Say It Aint So.” Toward the end of the night Bowersox busted out with a five-minute drum solo.

Everyone was floored.

I partially expected debauchery or violence, given that I was among derelicts, but was (somewhat) relieved to find little of either. But there are stories. Brown says that a former bass player once passed out on stage midsong (he had been playing while lying down). Another time, he tells me, a man carrying a cane topped with a replica of his own head threatened to stab Brown in the chest.

The band doesn’t play out all the time, but they do have a couple of shows in the coming weeks. They’re set to open for jam band Supertrout at Charley’s and The Cellar 744 this weekend, then will tear it up at Wailuku’s First Friday in the courtyard of Maui Time’s very own lair.

Expect a little trouble and a lot of funk. MTW

MINDCANDY

BY KATE BRADSHAW KATE@MAUITIME.COM

Songs for the treadmill LOVE, “7&7 IS” Shape magazine usually publishes playlists meant to accompany your workout. Up-tempo tunes, of course, will help keep you moving. Yet Fergie and the other artists whose music tends to frequent these lists have the reverse effect on me.

At least twice I have actually left the gym, midworkout, because I couldn’t take any more Lindsey Lohan, which is the kind of stuff gyms think motivates sweaty people. After one such incident I huffed out of the gym amid some Mariah Carey song and went directly to the nearest place that sold iPods that wasn’t Wal-Mart. A strong antidote to the bland bubblegum emitting from gymnasium speakers is music by ass-kicking bands like Love, Blue Cheer and Moby Grape, and “7&7 Is” is a particularly killer example. This aggressive proto-punk tune will get you to full speed by the end of the first measure. It lets up twice for a cryptic chorus before resuming its full intensity. If I were a high school physics teacher I would play this song for my students when explaining momentum.

GIPSY KINGS, “VOLARE” It starts out slowly. But you can’t judge a song by its intro. Within 30 seconds it blasts into a full-blown, radiant flamenco tune. If you are on the treadmill when this happens you may feel your hips start to twitch. This is instinct. I wouldn’t fight it, but at the same time I don’t advise dancing on treadmills unless you’ve had training. I also wouldn’t recommend any of the other versions of this tune, which tend to be more down beat, sometimes verging on loungey. The original was penned by Domenico Modugno and won a Grammy for Record of the Year in 1958, but the Gipsy Kings’ cover is absolutely electrifying. Other Gipsy Kings tunes that will help breathe a little life into treadmill time include “Bem, Bem, Maria,” “Bamboleo” and of course their cover of “Hotel California” (the song that plays during the scene in The Big Lebowski that introduces The Jesus, and we all know that nobody messes with The Jesus). Part of the band’s appeal is their ability to sweep you to some Mediterranean locale and make you forget that you are in fact expending calories on the equivalent of a hamster wheel.

HOPE SANDOVAL & THE WARM INVENTIONS, “ON THE LOW” In great contrast to the above two songs, this tune by former Mazzy Star singer Sandoval will not jerk you into overdrive. At most its mellow tempo will keep you going at a steady pace. Yet I recommend this for a cool-down song, one to ease you back into relative equilibrium, maybe even for stretching. (One for females, anyway, as most dudes would likely find this song unbearably girly despite how good it is.) Sandoval’s otherworldly vocals and the song’s dreamy chord progression will zone you out as your miles per hour head south and your runner’s high kicks in. Plus it’s one of the sexiest songs in existence, which can help with morale as it reminds us of one the major benefits of spending all of this time at the gym: not just the buffness and tone that we all seek and maintain, but the radiance that onsets after a particularly tough gym session. This song possesses that same intangible afterglow. MTW

FILMCRITIQUE

BY BARRY WURST II BARRY@MAUITIME.COM

Wrestling his demons Sports drama overcomes clichés with passionate, honest performances he most common thing detractors of professional, WWF-style wrestling say is that it’s “fake.” That’s simply not true. While the matches have preplanned choreography and moves that are staged, for the most part the hits, blows and swipes at the body are all painfully real.

The Wrestler

★★★★ ★★ Rated R/105 min.

While watching The Wrestler, even though I knew it was only a movie, I never for a second thought that any of the physical violence taking place in the ring was faked. Even seasoned fans of the sport may be taken aback by how brutal the ring-

JANUARY 29, 2009

side violence is. Yet the physical punishment isn’t what stays with you; it’s the emotional damage the main character carries with him.

Mickey Rourke stars as Randy “The Ram” Robinson, a once-popular professional wrestler who now competes in small town, sparsely attended bouts to keep from going completely broke. He reaches out to his estranged daughter (Evan Rachel Wood), befriends a stripper (Marisa Tomei) who sees the gentle soul inside the damaged exterior and strives to survive both as a ringside attraction and as a human being. Much has been made of how Rourke, a oncegreat actor whose career went from bad to embarrassing, is a lot like the character he plays. Make what you will of the inevitable comparisons; truthfully, few actors could come close to pulling off what Rourke does here. Director Darren Aronofsky’s latest is often hard to watch, but is powered by the vulnerable, openwounded honesty of Rourke’s performance. The story is just a grittier take on Rocky, but Rourke makes you care about

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Robinson’s journey, while Aronofsky invests pain and passion into a potentially formulaic Hollywood sports drama.

The screenplay takes well-worn movie clichés—the stripper with a heart of gold, the abandoned daughter, the winnertakes-all climax—and gives them tragic twists. Tomei puts a lot of heart and honesty into her role. Wood is a powerhouse and she shares some of the film’s most blistering scenes with Rourke.

I was completely taken by the film’s depiction of pro and ex-wrestlers, the fraternity and brotherhood they share and the horrific abuse they put their bodies through.

Even though the story treads down a familiar path, the film and Rourke’s work surprise you with jolts of the unexpected.

From the first time we see Rourke, in an empty classroom, preparing for a bout in a school gym, to the passionate title song

by Bruce Springsteen that plays over the closing credits, The Wrestler brings you into the ring, viscerally and emotionally.

You’ll never look at Hulk Hogan the same way again. MTW

Fake blood, real wrestling.

MOVIECAPSULES New This Week New In Town - PG13 - Comedy - A Renee Zellweger-esque woman is climbing the corporate ladder. A project that guarantees a promotion lands her in a podunk town where she inevitably meets a dreamy gentleman. Sacrificing one’s career for a dude is the worst thing a girl can do, so let’s hope that doesn’t happen. 96 min.

Taken - PG13 - Drama - It’s been, what, two weeks since you’ve seen a movie or television show involving government operatives, kidnapping, conspiracies? This one stars Liam Neeson as a CIA agent whose daughter gets kidnapped. Good times. 93 min.

The Uninvited - R - Horror - After the tragic non-bear-mauling death of her mother a young lady finds her mother’s former nurse putting the moves on Dad. Mom’s ghost warns of ill intentions. Audience members get repeatedly startled. Everyone wins. 102 min.

BY KATE BRADSHAW CALENDAR@MAUITIME.COM

My Bloody Valentine - R - Horror - So, basically, an inexperienced coal miner causes the deaths of a bunch of people, which sucks. He’s got other things to deal with on top of this, like unrequited love and a vengeful mass murderer, which both also suck. On the other hand, there is a lot of blood in this flick, which is entertaining. 101 min.

Notorious - R - Drama - Chronicles the life and times of rapper Notorious B.I.G. Too soon? 122 min.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop - PG - Comedy - A scathing commentary questioning the aptitude of quasigovernmental entities that occupy mercantile centers in present-day New Jersey while tackling the most complex of existential quandries. 87 min.

Could be worse. Trust me. 122 min.

Gran Torino - R - Drama - Clint Eastwood plays a grizzled racist/Korean War veteran who has remained in his Detroit neighborhood despite white flight (hey, that rhymed!). His concept of reality gets thrown for a loop through his interactions with a family of Hmong immigrants. 114 min.

Hotel for Dogs - PG - Family - You would think that such a title would bear a metaphorical significance to a film, or perhaps allude to the existential longing shared by a film’s characters, but no. This is actually about a hotel for dogs. Stars Don Cheadle.

Seriously. (Wasn’t he in another movie about a hotel?) 100 min.

The Unborn - PG13 - Thriller - A young woman discovers that a big scary ghost is haunting her, which is kind of a bummer. The plot also involves a family curse of some sort, just for kicks. 87 min.

Saturday (Jan. 31), 3pm, Lahaina Civic Center

Unless you count layovers at LAX, I have spent all of three nights in California. One of those was in L.A. As my friend’s car closed in on the So Cal sprawl I realized that I recognized most of the city’s streets and suburbs from Frank Zappa lyrics, as Zappa routinely made fun of the city. And if it wasn’t “Plastic People,” “Billy the Mountain” or “San Ber’dino” that clued me into the existence of the city’s various features, it was The Big Lebowski (the only reason, thankfully, I’ve heard of In-N-Out Burger). As one of the six transplants on Maui that’s not from California it’s no surprise that I’m also one of the few people that hasn’t had much exposure to Ozomatli. This ultraeclectic L.A.-based band is said to be somewhat of an encapsulation of the City of Angels, at least in the sense that they embrace sounds from every locale and every genre, from raga to reggae, from merengue to funk. They have served as cultural ambassadors and they’ve won a couple Grammys. I’m told that they put on an absolutely killer show the last time they were here, and this time they’ve reunited with conscious rapper Chali 2na. Call 242-7469 for tickets. $25/$30 day of show.

My cousin has a theory: the worse the economy, the better the music. A number of factors would undoubtedly contribute to this, including the fact that staring ruin in the face inspires us to write about things that aren’t petty. Indeed, the factors that led to the economic collapse are far better song lyric fodder than some random songwriter’s breakup.

The bands in tonight’s lineup have been shunning such trifling subject matter for some time, and have the monikers to prove it. California surf punk outfit Agent Orange and Haiku-based hardcore punk band Order of the White Rose both derive their names from dark historical times. The first obviously gets its name from the Monsanto product used during the Vietnam War to clear jungle foliage, which caused severe genetic mutation in those exposed to it. The second band gets its name from a group of university students in WWII-era Germany who peacefully resisted Nazism. Other bands in this all-ages show’s lineup include D.I. and Old Habits Die Hard. Tickets available at Lahaina Skate Company, 967Ko in Kahului, Charley’s in Paia, through Ticketmaster or by calling 2145152. $25/$35.

Smokin’ grass Saturday (Jan. 31), 10pm, Casanova, Makawao

Food for thought Wednesday (Feb. 4), 5 & 7:30pm, Castle Theater, MACC

Upcountry is probably one of the best spots to check out a band like Haiku Hillbillys (who intentionally misspell “Hillbillys”), especially Makawao, given its history and cowboy aesthetic. Their sound in a nutshell: they borrow heavily from the outskirts of country, the outskirts that almost verge on bluegrass, moaning fiddle and all. Yet they are bluesy and hard-driven. The Dylan influence (more Modern Times than Blonde on Blonde) is apparent, and so is their musicianship. Guitarist and vocalist Randall Rospond and lead guitar player Tom Conway (of Gypsy Pacific Fame) use the elements at their fingertips to conjure a tasty folk/gypsy/grass sound you won’t find in any other act on-island. Rospond and the boys are some of the hardest working musicians on Maui; Saturday’s Casanova gig is an opportune time to show them some love. Rospond and Conway will also play an early evening show at Flatbread Wednesday, which will of course be a bit more mellow than the Saturday show. $10.

The fact that more people appear to be paying attention to what they eat, where it comes from and the environmental impact of the purchases they make is kind of a double-edged sword. On one hand, it appears to reflect a conscious evolution, the collective realization of our limited resources and the grave harm that results from valuing profit over our basic need fulfillment. On the other, more douchely hand, given humanity’s track record, this shift may be borne of selfish motives; the desire of some for profit and of others to appear “with it.” Yet when a mass of people begins to embrace sensible bandwagons like the sustainable food movement, out of blind conformity or otherwise, perhaps it’s best not to look a gift horse in the mouth. This week’s Candlelight Cinema flick is a documentary called Food Fight that shows the origins of the sustainable food movement (okay, so it’s California chefs) that has so sweepingly impacted the way we read food labels and how much we have to fricking pay just to feel good about what we put on the table. $12.

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) In most (but not all) the places I’ve ever lived, people close and lock their front doors. To leave their homes open would be inviting danger, right? Since anyone determined to enter the places you want to protect is hardly likely to be thwarted by a mere lock, I’d argue that such precautions only serve to keep out the most casual or spontaneous would-be troublemakers. Similarly, the stuff you’re doing to supposedly protect yourself is only marginally effective at best. You either need to step things up dramatically, or quit wasting your time and just leave your door open; I’ll wager you’ll probably be surprised by how much more good comes through than bad.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Imagine someone scrawled obscenities on your wall. Your first instinct would probably be to get rid of them. You might scrub and sand the wall, or cover the graffiti with layers of paint. However I urge you to consider different solutions, ones less easily thwarted by whoever wrote that crap there in the first place (since they could easily reapply it). Could you learn to live with or ignore their spite? Or might you transform it into something so fascinating that even they might hesitate to mess with it? You’re probably more creative than I; what I do know is that this isn’t something you’ll be able to simply erase or effectively hide, so figuring out something else you can do about it is the order of the week.

AFTER BEFORE

Less is more

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) I’m not sure you’re using the right tool for the job. You certainly could clean the floors of your apartment with a roll of toilet paper and a cup of water, but a mop and bucket would be swifter and more effective. Why are you making things so hard on yourself? Don’t let your stubbornness or unrealistic idealism keep you from actually getting the job done (or making it require ten times the effort). The principle applies to people as well; be impartial and clearheaded in your selections. Once you exclude personal attachments and preferences, it’ll be obvious who and what will best accomplish your goals.

Power and responsibility, as you know, go hand in hand. For the most part, you’re reasonable and wise when exercising yours. In this case, however, I’m worried that what began with good intentions has devolved into mere bullying. Could your personal distaste or dislike be causing you to take things a bit too far? I suspect that’s the case, so please double check. There’s no need to make a big drama about it, but a simple apology might be in order. At the very least, more fair treatment of even those you dislike is definitely overdue.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Avoid the extremes everyone seems to be urging you towards. Let’s say you want to protect yourself on a lonely evening jog in the park. Shirk the handgun in favor of pepper spray or an air horn, which are probably just as likely to be effective, with less dire consequences if you make a mistake. It’s much easier to recuperate from a deafening blast or a painful squirt than a bullet. Taking it more extreme than the minimally effective measures would be a bad move; it would, in fact, only set you up for emotional disasters that would be at least as hard to recover from as a gunshot wound.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Within almost all most bad news, a silver lining can be found. This should come as no surprise, considering how many of the supposedly “bad” experiences of your past have had astonishingly happy endings. The next shitty turn of events is just like all of those other unfortunate circumstances, even if it seems more extreme and craptastic than most. Some of this negativity might be a little blinding. It may be very hard to tell what possible positive ramifications could result from it. Even if they’re invisible or slow to appear, stay positive and have faith. They’re there.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) As far as I’m aware, you can’t take out insurance on your heart. Wouldn’t it be great if you got a big payout the next time it got broken? Of course no insurance company would be willing to assume such a risk; realistically, most relationships end in heartbreak. It’d be a losing proposition for them. Even if you’re cynical (or realistic) enough to share my view, that doesn’t mean it’s a losing proposition for you. There’s much to gain from almost any relationship, even one you know ahead of time will end in heartbreak. It’s a more complicated equation than you’re taking into account; by my calculations, despite the negative stuff that’s sure to come, you’ll still end up ahead.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Selfless service is all well and good if you can afford to practice it. I admire your bighearted desire to help people whenever you can. However, there are times when you shouldn’t, because the cost to you outweighs the ultimate benefit to others. The greater good requires that you look at the big picture here, and that means setting yourself up to continue to be modestly generous months or years down the road, rather than being so extravagant with your aid now that you have none to spare for a long time to come.

This week, being ever so slightly selfish is actually the most selfless thing you could possibly do.

What you think you’re good at may not necessarily be the case. While this discovery is bound to be depressing (and probably also embarrassing or humiliating), don’t get too stuck on it. There’s a silver lining here: the opposite is also true. Something you’ve never tried (and never suspected you had a talent for) is waiting breathlessly for you to discover it. You’re a natural! I think figuring out just what your hidden aptitude is, and the joys it could bring you, will go a long way towards obscuring and ultimately erasing the disappointments of this week.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Surrender doesn’t always equal defeat. If it ensures that you live to fight another day, it might be the only wise move you can make. In fact, true wisdom might be the ability to recognize when you’re facing a battle you can’t win, and instead of causing more damage by persisting anyway, setting yourself up so that you’re in a more viable position further down the line. The long view is key in this situation, since an overnight triumph is simply out of the question. If holding your ground here means you’ll be virtually crippled, may I suggest rolling over and showing your belly (for now)?

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Be careful what you set in motion. I fear that you’ve been so intent on getting your plans going that you haven’t looked far enough ahead to make sure they’re truly headed in the right direction. This thing is like a big old freight train; stopping it would take nearly as much time and effort as getting it up to travel speed. Before you work harder to accelerate this thing, take a moment to look ahead and make sure it’s not about to run out of track. This could be your last chance to put on the brakes and avoid disaster.

What you see is not what you get. What a situation (be it relationship, workplace or family) looks like from the outside is frequently not an accurate picture of how it seems from within. Be wary of judging this particular book by its cover. What fills its pages is vastly different than anything you could possibly guess by just looking at it. Be patient, nonjudgmental, and persistent, and you soon may be rifling through those pages and figuring out for yourself how well this particular scenario fits (or doesn’t) into your life.

Making that judgment before you get that chance, though, would be a huge mistake.
