Our first ever Green Issue features a special Rob Report about three Hawaii residents, all named Isaac, who are fighting the good fight.

Kate Bradshaw examines greenwashing and calls out a few companies whose eco efforts are more rhetoric than reality (we’re looking at you, MECO). We tell you why you should consider eating that centipede instead of tossing it in the garbage disposal. Plus, profiles of local eviro movers and shakers and some tips on how to become part of the solution.

EDITOR’SINBOX THEY STAB IT WITH THEIR STEELY KNIVES… Manu and Sulak are right: Colonialism must be ended in Hawaii [“Native Wisdom,” April 16].

Independence is the answer. We Hawaiians must take back and heal our lands, then spread that knowledge abroad. Capitalism is a dying beast and must be laid to rest. We are the answer.

Ken Ng, Los Angeles, posted at mauitime.com

NO LOVE FOR THE GUV Regarding last week’s letter to the editor, Kukui would do better to direct rage where it belongs—on the Lingle Administration. If Linda Lingle had bothered to follow the law and get an environmental impact statement, the Superferry would probably be taking Kukui the Big Island. Instead, Lingle ignored the EIS requirement, which should come as no surprise since she has a history of disregarding the law when it comes to protecting the environment.

Manu Meyer says it isn’t about race, then goes on to blame all our problems on Europeanization. For someone who says we need to “step into the discussion with a self-aware intelligence” that’s a pretty blatant bit of doublespeak! I’m not saying the white man is innocent…far from it.

ON THE JOHN You guys sure have it in for John McCain.

First that cover shot of him in the Nazi helmet after the election, now bashing him over monk seal funding [Coconut Wireless, April 16]. Did you know McCain actually believes in environmental protection and global warming? Guess you were too busy praising Obama to the high heavens to find that out. Your boy won and now we’re all paying for it—literally.

Don’t be a sore winner.

Anonymous Gene Miyamoto, Lahaina Ed. Note: We won’t try to speak for Dr. Meyer, except to say that her point seemed to be about “Europeanization” as a mindset and not a skin color. Also, a tad ironic that you’d question someone’s nerve then neglect to sign your letter.

BAND TOGETHER Re your write-up on the new band Fish Tank [“Get Tanked,” April 16]: I’m noticing a trend. What is the average lifespan of a Maui band?

What are the chances of a Maui band retaining their lineup? It seems to me that Maui bands just swap members, try new things, try to find the perfect meld of musicians. But therein lies the problem—they’ll just do it again in a year. No wonder none of Maui’s musicians can make it past Friday nights at Mulligans or Wednesday’s Dog ’N Duck session.

I’m in a band, posted at mauitime.com

CANINE COMPENSATION Re last week’s Eh Brah! about the dog attack: I think the big mean dogs are like big cars—the owners are trying to compensate for something small they have.

Tiny Dog Owner, posted at mauitime.com

Thanks for the note, Gene. Just to be clear: We mentioned McCain in connection with the federal monk seal money not because we think he’s anti-environment (though his record isn’t great), but because of how angry he gets about earmarks and “wasteful” spending. Some of his favorite targets are projects that involve the study of animals—except, of course, for all the ones that were requested in Alaska under Gov. Palin.

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD MILITARY INTELLIGENCE The U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration recently postponed its crucial program to rejuvenate quartercentury-old Trident missile warheads because no one can remember how to make a key component of the weapons (codenamed “Fogbank”), according to a March 2 report of the Government Accountability Office. The GAO found that, despite concern over the bombs’ safety and reliability, NNSA could not replicate the manufacturing process because all knowledgeable personnel have left the agency and no written records were kept. Said one commentator, “This is like James Bond destroying his instructions as soon as he’s read them.”

BY CHUCK SHEPHERD CHUCK@MAUITIME.COM

THEY’VE GOT A FUTURE IN PORN Biologist Michelle Solensky of Ohio’s College of Wooster reported late last year in the journal Animal Behavior that male monarch butterflies are such calculating inseminators that they even decide the optimal level of sperm necessary for reproductive advantage. While injecting fluid, the male can “selectively” determine how much of it will be fertility cells, depending on how much residual sperm the female holds from previous suitors (the goal being to always inject more than the other guys did). Solensky told New Scientist magazine that the penis acts as a kind of “dip stick” to check the quantity already present.

MOB RULE SPIT JOB Researchers at Germany’s Max Planck Institute recently published findings of a cross-cultural study of people’s spit. “[W]e can get more insights into human populations [from saliva] than we would get from just studying human DNA,” the team’s leader told Reuters in February. The study’s main conclusion was that spit content does not vary much around the world, even given regional differences in diet.

BREAKING NEWS: DOGS PEE ON STUFF Spanish researchers at Autonomous University of Madrid reported in February that wolves (and almost surely dogs), when relieving themselves, deliberately seek out the most conspicuous places they can find (both as to sight and smell) to assure maximum territorial signaling. Male wolves prefer tall trees (and dogs, prominently located fire hydrants) and try to leave urine as high up as they can to increase its wind-carry, according to a Discovery Channel summary.

‘CLICK’ OF

(1) As Italy’s banks (like so many others) curtailed lending during the global financial crisis, the country’s 180,000 small businesses had nowhere to turn for liquidity except to the Mafia, whose lending continued (at ridiculous interest rates, of course), unrestricted by the recession, according to a March Washington Post dispatch from Rome. Organized crime in Italy collects an estimated $315 million a week.

INCOMPETENT CRIMINALS (1) In March, two men were seen on a backyard surveillance camera in St. Petersburg, Fla., attempting a home break-in during the day when no one was home. According to the police report, one of the men assumed a football stance, then ran the length of the yard and rammed the back door. However, the latch held, and the impact sent the man to the ground, writhing in pain. The collision also triggered an alarm, but the men escaped before police arrived. (2) Two adults and three teenagers were arrested in Waterville, Maine, in March and charged with arson. The evidence? A video the five made describing their crime, crafted with theme music and castand-crew credits. MTW

THE WEEK

The environmental crowd has aggressively co-opted Kermit the Frog’s “It’s Not Easy Being Green.” (We did it on the cover of this very issue.) To give a much-deserved nod to the source, we’re turning this week’s click over to Jim Henson’s iconic amphibian and his 1970 rendition of the career-launching ballad. The song has been recorded by artists ranging from Frank Sinatra to Diana Ross, but for our money nobody did it better than Mr. Frog. (Side note: Perhaps not surprisingly, the comments accompanying the video on YouTube have devolved into an epithet-littered “debate” about race. Sigh.) –JS Find it at… youtube.com/watch?v=hpiIWMWWVco

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

Got a heads-up yesterday from attorney Lance Collins, who’s representing a group of Kihei residents that’s suing the county over sewage disposal methods.

Specifically, the plaintiffs—who include a Baldwin High teacher, a Navy vet, a surfer, a dive master and a Native Hawaiian advocate—are trying to get the county to stop using injection wells, which they say violate state water quality standards and allow wastewater to seep into the ocean. At present, there are 15 injection wells on Maui: three in Kihei, four in Lahaina and eight in Kahului. It’s always amazed me how little attention most people pay to what’s done with their waste; the desire to flush it and forget it is understandable at a basic level, but the stuff doesn’t just go “away.” Kudos to these alert Mauians for being willing to stir up the…well, you know.

FRIDAY, APRIL 17

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15 I love a good protest. I love the signs, the shouting, the honking, all of it.

Even if I disagree with the cause, I appreciate the spectacle and the fact that people cared enough to slide out of their recliners and take to the streets.

It’s healthy. So I’m not here to chastise the Mauians who joined thousands of others across the county today in tax day, “Tea Party” protests against profligate government spending.

However: I don’t remember these things being nearly so prominent—and certainly not sponsored by FOX News—during the Bush years, when the deficit ballooned to historical proportions. (The fact that anyone can still refer to Bush and his advisors as “conservatives” with a straight face is truly mind-boggling.) It’s also worth noting that the new president hasn’t raised anyone’s taxes yet, which makes labeling him a “socialist” a bit problematic, or at least premature. Thus far, the Obama Administration seems content to follow the tried-and-true American formula that got us where we are: spend money you don’t have, and spend it fast. I understand people’s outrage; when I hear about bank executives giving themselves big, fat taxpayer-funded bonuses, my blood boils. The only advice I’d give the Tea Partiers is to be wary of misdirected anger and manipulation at the hands of entities that are pushing a specific, narrow political agenda and don’t have your best interests at heart. Beyond that, protest away. As the bumper sticker says: if you aren’t angry, you aren’t paying attention.

APRIL 23, 2009

Here’s a candidate for least reassuring statement of the year, from a story in today’s Maui News about a meeting of the county council’s budget committee.

Take it away, Mayor Tavares: “If we go down in flames, we are going to go down in the same flame.” Don’t know about you, but I feel better.

SATURDAY, APRIL 18 Good news for Native Hawaiian advocates and the anti-GMO crowd: A bill that places a five-year ban on the development of genetically modified taro passed the Senate this week by a vetoproof majority. (Gov. Lingle hasn’t indicated she’d veto the bill, but it was opposed by the state Department of Agriculture, according to an AP report.)

The lone dissenting votes were cast by token Republicans Fred Hemmings and Sam Slom of Oahu. You know who those guys remind me of? The Washington Generals. You know, the team that always had to lose spectacularly to the Harlem Globetrotters? (Of course, Senate Democrats aren’t nearly as cool as the Globetrotters, though I hear Mele Carroll has a mean sky-hook.)

SUNDAY, APRIL 19 Even more disturbing than the contents of the recently released CIA torture memos (excuse me, CIA enhanced interrogation memos) has been the reaction.

Overwhelmingly, cable news’s cadre of blathering heads has condemned the Obama Administration for “making us less safe.” How, exactly, remains a bit unclear. Here’s what I think is going on: the American people (not all of us, but most) are living under a warm comfy Snuggie™ of self-delusion. If we don’t know about something, it doesn’t exist and we don’t have to stop watching Rock of Love Bus reruns to worry about it. For

movie or video game rather than a layered, complex human tragedy. That’s the irony: what truly warrants examination and scrutiny isn’t the event itself, but the media’s handling of it.

MONDAY, APRIL 20 Perhaps fittingly, there was action today on SB1058. The bill—which passed its third reading April 14 with amendments and today was re-referred to committee— would create a state medical marijuana task force to analyze the successes and failures of Hawaii’s medical pot program and make recommendations. Seems like a solid idea, but not everyone thinks so.

Last year Gov. Lingle vetoed a similar bill, HB2675, citing federal prohibition. We’ll see if this one plays out in similar fashion—stay tuned… In addition to that other, more lighthearted, munchiesinducing occasion, today marks the 10 year anniversary of the Columbine massacre. Because the only thing news organizations love more than a nice round number is rehashing shocking occurrences to boost ratings, we’ve been fed a slew of tributes and remembrances. What’s depressing is that, even after a decade, coverage still mostly lingers on tawdry surface details, treating the shooting like a

TUESDAY, APRIL 21 It has not been a good month for Hawaii residents who like to pump small quantities of toxic smoke into the air. First, federal and state tax hikes raised the cost of a pack of cigarettes by $1. Next up: fireworks. According to a report in today’s Honolulu Advertiser, two pieces of legislation are still alive on Oahu that would increase fees for retailers and importers of those fun little homebased explosives, a cost that would surely be passed on to consumers. I defended the smokers, but I don’t know about this one. Given the serious fire hazard involved (I know, cigarettes cause fires too), we might be better off if fireworks were made less available. Plus: the smoke! As I said in this space in January after the New Year’s festivities, going outside on that particular night is a lot like standing next to a heap of burning tires and asbestos shingles, only slightly worse.

“Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it.”

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Remember when green was just a color? Ah, those were simpler times. But even before it morphed into the buzzword of the environmental movement, green had roots in something deeper.

Etymologists trace the word back to the Old English groeni, which was closely tied to growan, meaning “to grow.” Some of green’s other meanings—like fresh and new or “go”—also speak to its potential as a powerful, malleable force greater than the sum of its five letters. A concept. A rallying cry. An inspiration.

And that’s exactly what it’s been to the millions of people who have begun the difficult work of reversing humanity’s long, rapidly accelerating march toward self-destruction. Faced with obstacles that some call insurmountable, the leaders of the burgeoning eco revolution have grabbed hold of a simple concept—that we should all be stewards of this incredible, fragile planet—and molded it into something profound.

Of course, the work is only beginning and the challenges are many. But there are signs that the tide has started to turn, that we are collectively waking up to the fact that tomorrow is pounding down the door and can no longer be ignored.

The green era has arrived—it’s time for all of us to show our true colors.

Special Rob Report:

Three islands, three Isaacs A trio of environmental heroes is fighting to protect Hawaii’s resources By Rob Parsons

E

He returned to Oahu to attend law school, a decision he said was his “best move ever.” He found himself fascinated with the rich legal history of land and water in Hawaii, and became increasingly interested in doing whatever he could to help protect what makes the islands so special.

arth Day, plunked before the backdrop of spring’s resiliency and renewal, affords us an annual opportunity to assess how we’re doing at taking care our planet.

Facing rapid population growth, increasing urbanization and degradation of precious natural resources, the Hawaiian Islands are a poster child for environmental efforts, and failings. The rapid loss of native habitat from the sandalwood industry in the early 1800s was the first, damaging step in upsetting a balance that had taken millions of years to develop.

Today, Hawaii has become one of the world’s hotspots for threatened and endangered native flora and fauna. Conservation and restoration efforts, while often heroic in scope, are woefully under-funded, considering the myriad threats to native plants, birds, mammals and marine life.

Fortunately, there are individuals who have dedicated their lives, and livelihoods, to furthering Hawaii’s environmental causes. Coincidentally, three such eco-defenders bear the same given name: Isaac. Though all have Maui roots, the efforts of Isaac Hall, Isaac Moriwake and Isaac Harp now encompass three major Hawaiian islands, while the ripples of their efforts spread even farther.

ailing from Oahu, Earthjustice attorney Isaac Moriwake attended college at Pomona, an area he describes as “the armpit of Los Angeles.” With frequent smog alerts and other trappings of the urbanized environment, Moriwake says he gained perspective and appreciation for how good we have it in Hawaii.

when the Department of Agriculture wanted to study genetically modified algae at the Kona research site. He has also contributed to challenges over the Stryker Brigade, military training in Oahu’s Makua Valley and open-air testing of GMO bio-pharmaceuticals.

After clerking for the Hawaii Supreme Court and briefly working for a private firm, the Earthjustice position opened up about six years ago. “I’m now doing my dream job every day,” says Moriwake.

During his tenure with the national ecoorganization, Moriwake has led challenges to shoreline certification criteria to preserve coastal property and access, and fought to Isaac Moriwake require an EIS

But Moriwake is best known for his ongoing work on Maui water issues, primarily the contested stream restoration case of Na Wai Eha. “Private companies are ill-suited to manage a public resource like water because they care only about profit, rather than the greater good,” says Moriwake. “If ever there was an example of why water must be managed as a public resource, rather than a private commodity, Maui is it.”

Moriwake believes Maui County must exhibit more leadership in water resource management and in water conservation. Honolulu, he notes, has avoided any increases in pumping over the past 10 years by focusing on conservation measures. “The County should be asserting control of its water future,” he says, “for the benefit of the people.” see ISAACS, page 13

Paint it green Corporate retailers, big developers, the government—all want to convince you they’ve jumped on the eco bandwagon. How do you separate the sincere from the spin? By Kate Bradshaw

P

art of what spurred the Protestant Reformation in 1517 was the selling of indulgences, which Catholics believe wash away sins. The notion that people could buy their way out of purgatory inspired Martin Luther to write his Ninety-Five Theses and sparked a revolution that changed the face of Christianity.

A similar controversy has arisen within the environmental movement.

And carbon credits are the tip of the (melting) iceberg.

Greenpeace’s stopgreenwash.org defines greenwashing as “the cynical use of environmental themes to whitewash corporate misbehavior.” The site urges corporations to “stop portraying baby steps on the environment as giant strides.”

Some popular greenwashing tactics include: making miniscule changes in a

Marketing can make a mockery of any cause that catches on with the general public, and the green movement is a glaring example.

Many consider the selling of carbon offset credits to be the modern-day equivalent of indulgences. Here’s how they work: eco-sinners purchase credits that help finance alternative energy projects, reforestation efforts and a slew of other green causes. A single credit costs $5-$15 and represents one metric ton of carbon dioxide. Corporate giants like Volkswagen, Bank of America and General Electric offer carbon credits to consumers.

But as the global environmental crisis nears its tipping point, is it really logical, or productive, to absolve those who refuse to curb their excesses?

E

fforts to appear “green” without actually doing much—a practice known as “greenwashing”— speak to the power of spin and marketing.

product that don’t reduce a company’s overall environmental impacts; touting greener practices as innovative when they’re merely being done to comply with environmental laws; and prominently displaying a meaningless logo indicating that a product is eco-friendly.

The government has put out its share of green spin. Maui Sierra Club Conservation Chair Lance Holter says Bush era programs like the “Clear Skies” and “Healthy Forests” initiatives were blatant attempts to put a green veneer on things that actually damaged the environment.

So who’s the worst offender? “A number of people will tell you that GE [General Electric] is number one,” says Johnny Ryan, who sits on the Urban Design Review Board and works for HNU, a Maui-based alternative energy company.

Ryan says compact florescent lightbulbs (CFLs), which GE, Philips and WalMart have marketed heavily, are still damaging to the environment since they contain mercury, a well-known neurotoxin.

Some cite GE’s “ecomagination” as a gross misrepresentation of the company’s efforts. The program, implemented in 2005, was called a case of “profound greenwashing” by author and sustainability guru L. Hunter Lovins. (Although, Lovins told Sustainable Industries, GE began to adopt greener practices when it saw its profits grow from doing so.)

Ryan says that Nestle’s “hourglass bottle,” which claims to use less plastic, is another instance of phony green marketing. “You’re using less plastic when you’re selling less product,” he says.

“If they’re using it as a sales pitch, that’s greenwashing in my book,” says environ-

mental activist and MTW contributor Rob Parsons. “If you want to go green, it’s all about local sustainability. Our whole economy is imported. The smaller, the greener.”

Parsons and Holter list Maui Electric Company among the biggest greenwashers on the island for its efforts to import palm oil from Southeast Asia. “They have all these colorful television ads” touting their efforts to adopt renewable energy, Holter says. Yet importing palm oil from places like Malaysia, Indonesia and Sumatra requires slashing and burning acres of forest each day. Then there’s the impact of shipping palm oil all those miles.

MECO boasts about getting 7 percent of its energy from renewable sources, namely from burning sugar cane. But when one considers the impact of sugar cane—the carbon that burning and shipping releases into the atmosphere—environmentalists find this tradeoff questionable at best.

Holter hopes the utility will look more closely at alternatives. “We want to bring them in as part of [the] solution because they’re a key player,” he says. “Palm oil is a disaster they’re still holding on to.”

O

ther Maui businesses’ green efforts are not so clear-cut. When greenwashing is brought up, the conversation often turns to Dowling Co., one of the island’s major developers and the force behind some controversial projects. But whether Dowling, which touts its green efforts, is guilty of greenwashing hinges on how you feel about development.

Obviously, building on a patch of earth is going to modify it drastically and do harm on numerous fronts. Yet some believe that having a developer who adheres to U.S. Green Building Council standards (including stormwater filtration, photo-voltaic solar energy and rapidly renewable building materials) is better than having one that couldn’t care less.

“We choose to embrace sustainability not only because it’s the right thing to do, but also because we believe that long term it will provide our firm with a competitive advantage,” says Jennifer Stites, Dowling’s green development manager.

The green campaigns of some Maui hotels could also be seen as greenwashing, but again it depends on your point of view.

The Ritz Carlton, for example, launched its Ambassadors of the Environment program, which exposes guests to Hawaii’s fragile ecosystems and Hawaiian culture.

Sure, it’s the annexation and commercialization of the ‘aina that did the damage in the first place. But hotel guests are getting schooled on the “real” Maui with the help of cultural and environmental consultants.

Marketing can make a mockery of any cause that catches on with the general public, and the green movement is a glaring example. Environmental groups and some media outlets try to seek out the reality behind PR barrages, but often it’s up to individuals to read the fine print.

Otherwise, we’re just blindly stabbing at eco-salvation. MTW

Greenwashers Three companies that place rhetoric before reality

1 The big-box behemoth touts its “Save & Live Green” program, but watchdog groups have accused the company of mislabeling products and upping its carbon output.

2 Critics say GE’s “ecomagination” effort is more imagination than eco.

3 Maui’s power supplier—along with parent company HECO—says it’s turning to renewables like wind and solar, but still imports palm oil at a deadly environmental price.

Small Change, Big Difference Little things you can do right now…

Go cloth: Disposable paper towels and napkins are convenient, but like many convenient things they come with a price. Trees are used to produce them (though buying more expensive recycled brands helps) and they clog our already overflowing landfills. Instead, buy—or make—reusable cloth napkins. For maximum effect, go with linen, hemp or organic cotton, wash only when necessary using biodegradable, phosphate-free soap and, if possible, dry on a clothesline.

Bag it up: Going to the grocery store armed with your own reusable shopping bag can make a big difference. The EPA estimates that each year, nearly 400 billion plastic bags and wraps are used in the United States. Even factoring in recycling and reuse programs, that adds up to a lot of waste. Many stores offer credits to shoppers who bring their own bags, so there’s a financial incentive. For info on a local effort to promote reusable bags, check out No’ Mo Plastic Bag (nomoplasticbag.com); for updates on plastic bag legislation and related matters turn to Oahu-based Styrophobia (styrophobia.com). Also, when buying a few small items, tell the checker you don’t need a bag.

There are few things sillier than wrapping a bag of chips in another plastic bag just to get it to your car.

Hold onto your butts: It shouldn’t need to be said, but a trip to the beach or a walk down the side of the road clearly shows the message hasn’t gotten across: Smokers— don’t toss your butts on the ground.

Not only are they an eyesore, they’re loaded with toxins like lead and arsenic and are made using plastic, meaning they can take up to a decade to decompose. In the meantime, they wash into the ocean and harm marine life or get picked up and consumed by animals and keiki. You can get a free pocket ashtray from the Pacific Whale Foundation’s Butts off the Beach program (pacificwhale.org) so there’s really no excuse.

ISAACS, continued from page 10 Moriwake notes that environmental consciousness is at an all-time high. “Green is in vogue like never before,” he says. “But we’ve lost too much already and we’re going to have to wake up and get busy. Every case I’ve been involved in, including the water case, begins and ends with folks taking responsibility for protecting our home, what makes Hawaii special.”

C

onnecticut native Isaac Hall went to Princeton University and Columbia Law School, then worked on prisoners’ rights in Harlem before moving to Hawaii in 1973. Soon after, he became involved with efforts to protect Kaho‘olawe, then known as the “Target Island” for the decades of military training exercises that were conducted there, and return the island to the people of Hawaii. In 1978 he began practicing law. Four years later, he married Dana Naone, and they embarked on their partnership working on Native Hawaiian, land, water and environmental issues.

Together, they worked with Hui Alanui o Makena against closure of the Makena Road in front of Seibu’s Maui Prince Hotel and protected coastal resources in that area. They helped lead efforts to relocate the Ritz Carlton Hotel away from shoreline dunes at Honokahua, used by Native Hawaiians as a burial site for 1,000 years.

Isaac Hall

The Halls opposed a private golf course development on the Waihe‘e shoreline, an area that contains one of the richest archeological and cultural sites in Hawaii and is now in full preservation and restoration, under the stewardship of the Maui Coastal Land Trust.

In 2003, Hall received the William O. Douglas Award from the Sierra Club, a national award given annually to an attorney for work in the area

of environmental law. More recently, Hall appeared before the state Supreme Court in the Hawaii Superferry case and successfully argued that the vessel should not have been launched without a completed EIS. “Hawaii has strong laws in place to protect its unique resources during the development process,” Hall says. “Unfortunately, these laws are too often not applied in a rigorous manner or enforced.”

He believes that expanded efforts are needed to place lands in permanent conservation use before development pressures arise to privatize them. He says government agencies are too willing to accept developers’ assessments that pave the way to project approvals, even in the face of community opposition.

“Developers with seemingly unlimited financial resources are met by under-funded residents and ad hoc groups rising up, in the spirit of the original Earth Day in 1970, to provide protection for special places,” says Hall. “This is essentially the only way environmental justice has been achieved. In that sense, the community activist roots of environmentalism are alive and well.”

saac Harp’s parents met in Hawaii, though he was born in New Orleans, where his brown skin meant that he felt the sting of racism. His father, a Navy welder, passed away when he was six. Moving back to Nanakuli, he and his siblings were again ostracized, this time for being hapa-haole. Harp spent most of his youth in Kahalu‘u on Windward Oahu, and moved to Maui in the early 1980s.

Harp’s mother was from Kona, and her family fished opelu, as did the family of his wife, Tammy, who grew up in Lahaina. He was a commercial bottom fisher for a while, though he gave it up after serving on a bottom fishing task force and watching the resource plummet, despite many worthwhile recommendations.

Soon after, the state asked Harp to serve on a gillnet task force. Once again, a majority of those on the advisory panel were commercial fishermen. Nevertheless, Harp successfully brought factions together to agree upon meaningful ocean conservation goals.

Concerned about a flood of long-liners competing with Hawaii’s own fishing industry, Harp signed up with the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council (WESPAC), only to find a pattern of corruption that led him to publicly call for the resignation of Director Kitty Simonds and Chair James Cook, who had business ties with

Isaac Harp

longline fishing vessels. Instead, Harp found himself dismissed of his WESPAC advisory panel positions, an illegal action that the U.S. Department of Commerce has not rectified.

Undaunted, Harp has led efforts that resulted in greater protection of the northwest Hawaiian islands, now protected as the Papahanaumokuakea National Monument. “I’d like to see a lot less traffic and human activity there,” says Harp, who calls the area a new “research capital.” He says illegal fishing in the area is an ongoing problem and believes that remote surveillance technology would boost enforcement capabilities.

Harp has also participated in international discussions on resource management for indigenous peoples, as a member of the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity’s Native Peoples Forum.

The Harps relocated to the Big Island when Isaac helped form a coalition to oppose a carbon dioxide dumping scheme off Keahole Point in Kona. With the passing of Jerry Rothstein, founder of Public Access Shoreline Hawaii (PASH), Harp was asked to step in and chair that organization.

Living in the Waimea area, Isaac and Tammy Harp raise six sheep and one cow and are growing vegetables as their “food insurance policy.” They have worked to protect cultural sites and burials.

Harp says he is opposed to the Akaka Bill.

“It is race-based legislation that doesn’t address the real crime,” he says. “To be placed as wards under the U.S. Department of the Interior is not what we want. We want our nation, sovereignty and dignity back.”

The dignified, dedicated work of the three Isaacs is helping ensure that Hawaii’s environment and natural resources will be available to inspire and enrich many generations to come. MTW

Profiles in Green A look at the Maui businesses, individuals and organizations that are putting green into action…

Maui Tomorrow – With an eye on everything from water and energy use to development and transportation, you might think this ubiquitous environmental and social justice group is spreading itself too thin. But in the wake of a recent victory in the Superferry case, and with ongoing advocacy efforts on a number of other fronts, Maui Tomorrow shows no signs of slowing down. 244-7570 or maui-tomorrow.org.

Maui Brewing Co. – It’s a safe bet beer isn’t the first thing that springs to mind when you think sustainability. And that’s precisely what makes MBC so remarkable.

Maui’s only truly local brewery takes eco considerations into account during every phase of the brewing, bottling and delivery process. (Ex: they make their own biodiesel out of the excess vegetable oil from their restaurants.) Oh yeah, and the beer’s pretty good too. 877-MAUI-BREW or mauibrewingco.com.

Save Honolua Coalition – While large organizations that tackle big, overarching problems are important, sometimes a targeted, specific campaign is most effective. Since 2007, Save Honolua has been fighting valiantly to protect one of Maui’s—and the world’s—most breathtakingly beautiful locales from encroaching development. Savehonolua.org.

Maui Aloha ‘Aina Association – For eight years and counting, this farming collective has been hosting the Body & Soil Conference, promoting sustainable, organic farming methods that are good for the environment and Maui’s food security.

They’re not the only group doing this kind of work—the Valley Isle is blessed with an array of organic farms and cooperatives—but they’re a fine example. 242-7870 or mauialohaaina.org.

University of Hawai’i-Maui Community College is an equal opportunity/affirmative action institution

Paragon Sailing Charters – The Kula-based charter outfit says its twin catamarans use an average of only 8 gallons of fuel per day while sailing 50 miles or more. The company has partnered with like-minded groups, including Californiabased nonprofit Greensurf.org, which promotes environmentally safe surf products. 244-2087 or sailmaui.com.

Texas-sized patch of trash that’s floating off Hawaii’s coast and growing by the minute—is one of the more depressing symbols of man’s impact on nature.

Thankfully, there are people like ECC founder Rich Owen who are willing to tackle the big job of cleaning it up. Gyrecleanup.org.

Lucienne de Naie – Delve into just about any environmental issue on Maui and one name invariably comes up. De Naie is a member of numerous organizations including the Sierra Club and is a tireless advocate for sundry causes; she’s the one who’ll show up to the long, early weekday meeting to testify and have all her facts straight to boot. She’s twice run unsuccessfully for county council and says she may try again, another example of the tenacity that sets her apart.

Bug of choice Insects are packed with protein and use up a fraction of the resources it takes to raise livestock. But can we get past the creepy crawly factor? By Jacob Shafer

T

his is a story about why you should eat bugs.

Chances are, you’re already grossed out, or at least aren’t feeling particularly hungry. That’s understandable—for most Americans, crunching down multi-legged creepy crawlers is something you do on a grade school dare or reality TV show. But if a growing number of entomophagy advocates have their way, your revulsion could someday turn to bon appetit.

Bugs-as-food proponents have a simple pitch: it’s better for you and it’s better for the planet. Most insects are high in protein and other essential nutrients but are much lower in fat than beef, pork or poultry. According to a May 2008 Discover magazine story, 100 grams of grasshopper contains a comparable amount of protein to the same amount of lean ground beef (20 grams for the grasshopper, 27 grams for the beef) but has two-thirds less fat.

answer the question: can we ever accept bugs—nutritious and resource-conserving as they may be—as an appetizing, or even palatable, alternative?

D

avid George Gordon thinks so. A Mainland-based chef, lecturer and the author of The Eat- a-Bug Cookbook, Gordon says he understands people will balk at the idea of sautéing bugs with olive oil rather than spraying them with Raid. He says the two reactions he usually gets when he tells people he’s a bug chef are amusement and revulsion. At the same time, he’s convinced that can change. “People in other countries eat insects all the time,” he says. “We’re the oddballs because we don’t eat them.”

Gordon points out that a century ago, the idea of eating sushi was foreign and virtually unheard of in

So we won’t see a waterfont bug bar opening up on Front Street tomorrow. But bugs could be a food of the future—smaller, sleeker, greener.

Meanwhile, the difference in resource consumption is enormous: according to most estimates, it takes over 1,000 gallons of water to produce a pound of beef; bugs can have their hydration needs met by a moist cloth.

In addition to depleting the water supply, meat production is a major contributor to pollution: animal waste, hormones, chemical fertilizers—all wind up in the world’s rivers and oceans, poisoning fish and killing coral reefs.

A 2006 report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization found that the livestock sector accounts for 18 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions—more than is produced by all the world’s cars. The report also notes that 30 percent of the Earth’s land surface is used up either for pastures or feed production. About 70 percent of the Amazon rainforest has been slashed for grazing.

All this paints a convincingly bleak picture of the way we get meat from field to table. But it doesn’t

mainstream America. “Now you can spend your entire paycheck at one of those places,” he says.

The Eat-a-Bug Cookbook contains recipes that sound either intriguing or disgusting depending on your level of culinary adventurousness: termite stew, worm tempura (perhaps settling once and for all How to Eat Fried Worms), larval latkes, cockroach à la king.

OK, but what about centipedes—those big suckers can’t be edible, right?

“I’ve cooked centipedes on many occasions—big ones, from South America and Southeast Asia—without any ill effects,” says Gordon. “Cooking is one good way of denaturing [counteracting] the venom.”

Though Gordon promotes bugs as healthy and yummy, he admits he doesn’t eat them on a regular basis. He says he’s aware of only one person in the U.S. who relies on insects as his sole source of meat: a Rhode Island man who’s working on a Super-Size Me-style documentary.

S

o we won’t see a waterfont bug bar opening up on Front Street tomorrow. Especially in the industrialized world, food is still abundant enough to make radical, widespread dietary shifts unlikely. But Gordon isn’t the only one flying the entomophagy flag. The Web site insectsarefood.com lays out a lengthy mission statement and provides links to an array of articles and studies that promote bugs as a food of the future—smaller, sleeker, greener.

As David Gracer, founder of Small Stock Food Strategies, LLC, put it in a February 2008 New York Times article: “Insects can feed the world. Cows and pigs are the SUVs; bugs are the bicycles.”

That may seem like hyperbole. But when you consider how isolated we are on Maui and how easily a major catastrophe could cut off our external food supply, suddenly that roach you just tried to splatter with your slipper starts to look pretty tasty.

All right, maybe not tasty—but at least a little less gross. MTW

Orthopteran Orzo (Yield: six servings) Ingredients: 3 cups vegetable broth 1 cup orzo 1 cup two- or three-week-old cricket nymphs 1 tablespoon butter 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup grated carrot 1/4 cup finely diced red pepper 1/4 cup finely diced green pepper 2 tablespoons chopped parsley Bring broth to a boil, then stir in the orzo.

Fresh choice New Makawao eatery emphasizes local ingredients ood grown close to where it is consumed? What a novel idea.

But look around and you’ll find most people don’t seem to care

Open daily 3620 Baldwin Ave., Makawao 572-4877 a whole lot. That’s probably because it’s still more convenient to buy deep-fried clusters of macaroni and cheese than it is to purchase a meal made primarily with local ingredients, but that’ll likely change as demand shifts.

Though it’s barely into its third month of

operation, Market Fresh Bistro in Makawao is at the forefront of the move toward eating local.

Eighty to 90 percent of the ingredients the restaurant uses in its eclectic dishes are grown in the Hawaiian Isles; a rare thing, given the stats. But when you see what’s on the menu, Maui’s and Hawaii’s potential for being self-sustaining—and vibrantly so— become apparent.

“Our inspiration for Market Fresh Bistro is the bountiful and diverse produce that Maui has to offer,” says restaurant partner Olivia Coletti.

The list of locally grown ingredients, many of them organic, is nearly inexhaustible. Baby fennel, carrots, micro herbs and pummelo come from Aina Lani Farm. Strawberries and rainbow chard come from Coca Farm. Green beans and daikon radish come from Hale Akua Farm.

Eggplant and kalo come from Kupa‘a Farm.

Kapalua Farm furnishes Market Fresh with leeks and cherry tomatoes. They get their oyster mushrooms from Makawao Mushroom. Their coffee? Kaanapali.

As for meat, they get their beef and lamb from Maui Cattle Company and Haleakala Farm, respectively.

Coletti says that they even grow many of their ingredients in their own garden, including avocadoes, lettuce greens and pohole ferns, and they get citrus from their neighbors.

The impact of using local ingredients goes beyond promoting individual health and environmental sustainability.

“It is also inspiring to be part of the solution to today’s economic problems by supporting our local farmers, fishermen and ranchers instead of complaining all the time about how everything is going down the drain,” Coletti says.

Coletti and Chef Justin Pardo, her brother, grew up in New York City, in a neighborhood that abounded with fresh produce and meat markets.

“Our bistro is somewhat of an extension of our family’s kitchen,” Coletti says.

Working as a chef at numerous New York restaurants over the past two decades—including Restaurant Danielle, Verbena and Union Square Café—Pardo often had the responsibility of heading down to the farmer’s market to pick up whatever he’d be preparing that day. Much of what he got was grown Upstate.

Given the diversity of available locally cultivated ingredients on Maui, it’s easy to see how a chef of Pardo’s caliber can get so creative. He can put together a complete meal for diners of every dietary stripe, vegan or omnivore.

The vegan meal on a recent venture consisted of Haiku rainbow tomato salad (first course); pesto-marinated white beans, Rosa Bianca eggplant and rainbow chard (second course); and kalo-crusted tofu over Aina Lani root vegetables (main course). It made for a colorful, tasty, robust and most satisfactory meal, especially when the warm, fresh focaccia bread is factored in.

The omnivorous counterpart to the main course included a healthy portion of braised Maui Cattle Company short ribs with Maui onion jam, braised knob carrots, a white bean ragout and sautéed rainbow chard. For non-vegans, the first course was served with an herb goat cheese fritter.

Although they don’t yet have a license to serve liquor, owner and wine specialist David Magenheim encourages patrons to bring a bottle of wine—a fine cab is preferred—to accompany Pardo’s elegant creations, as a glass or two of a velvety red adds an element of ambrosia to the already sweet dining experience.

They may find inspiration from far away places like New York and Europe, but the proprietors of Market Fresh Bistro seem to have a knack for bringing out the best of what grows on Maui. MTW

Others seize the opportunity to put something exemplary between the buns—something that might even attract the attention of carnivores looking to mix it up. Though it’s not exactly a burger, Stella’s Special Sandwich—featuring grilled eggplant, roasted garlic, sweet peppers, feta and pesto mayo—certainly fits the bill. 1279 S.

CAFÉ MAMBO The sesame- and nori-crusted tofu is organic, which is nice, but it’s also delicious, which is what truly matters—much as our heads may tell us to eat sustainable food, it has to pass the taste bud test or it’s a no-go. Add a half-off beer or mixed drink during their early evening happy hour if you don’t feel like being completely healthy. 30 Baldwin Ave., Paia, 579-8021.

SOUTH SHORE TIKI LOUNGE The Lounge has an excellent trio of meatless options that our vegan staffer mentions with a loving lilt to her voice: the veggie hot dog (pictured), vegetarian chili and, naturally, veggie burger. All of the above are great mid-bender options for those nights when you’ve been swallowed up by the Triangle and need something besides rum in your belly but don’t want to be weighed down by meat. (Note: It’s not veggie, but the “Mother Clucker” chicken sandwich deserves mention for the name alone.) 1913 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei, 874-6444.

COOL CAT Vegans may run screaming in terror from this bad boy, but the Dream Lover—a veggie burger joined by generous portions of chili, jack cheese and sweet Maui onions— is a worthy addition to this beloved burger joint’s menu. Add a milkshake just to really freak out the dairy-free set. 658 Front St. Lahaina, 667-0908.

MANA FOODS If you’re strapped for cash and don’t want to shortchange your server, cooking at home is a respectable option. Paia’s popular health food store carries an array of veggie burgers made from various non-flesh substances, which are good heated up stovetop-style or tossed on the grill if you’re so equipped. (Please though— no microwaves. “Soggy” is not a word you want associated with your burger. “Juicy,” yes, but that’s a different thing entirely.) 49 Baldwin Ave., Paia, 579-8078. MTW

Tides that bind Pianist Scott Cossu returns to Maui lympia, Washington pianist extraordinaire Scott Cossu first played Maui in the early ’80s when he was one of a promising stable of young musicians on the Windham Hill label. That California cadre featured a talented bunch of artists—pianists George Winston, Liz Story and Barabara Higbie, guitarists Will Ackerman, Alex de Grassi and Michael Hedges, fusion group

Scott Cossu

New album:Tides Between Us Web site: scottcossu.com Next gig: Friday, April 24, 7:30pm at Makawao Union Church, Makawao, $15

Shadowfax and many others—that defied musical categorization, and collectively defined a new genre of fabulously listenable music.

Classically trained, Cossu became enraptured with ethnic music from across the globe, traveling to Ecuador in 1977 for research on his master’s thesis. He developed a style and repertoire that is evocative and original, overlaying Latin, Hispanic, Andean and Mediterranean rhythms with his own compositions, spiced with innovative chord progressions, often blended with flute, cello, guitar and percussion.

His first concert on Maui was back at the old Maui Lu, in its heyday when Jesse Nakaooka’s luau show still played there.

For a time, Stouffer’s Wailea Beach hotel brought in top-name talent for outdoor concerts on the lawn, overlooking the ocean. Touring after his 1989 release of Switchback, which rose to near the top of the Billboard music charts, Cossu played a sunset concert in that paradisiacal venue, with whales breaching as a backdrop and the full moon rising from behind the stage, illuminating the evening with a magical, silvery tranquility.

Soon after, his life took a dramatic turn, and nearly ended.

Crossing Wilshire Boulevard in Beverley Hills, Cossu was struck by a Mercedes-Benz and spent the next month in a coma with multiple injuries. Cossu endured an extensive rehabilitation, including four surgeries. He had to relearn every song he’d ever written.

In time, he made a triumphant recovery. His infectious smile and jubilant spirit are visible reminders of his renewed lease on life.

“You are a very cool person,” Cossu told me, as we sat on the deck outside Casanova’s restaurant in the early 1990s, “because I remember you from before my accident.” I had just delivered an acoustic grand piano for his upcoming performance at the Makawao eatery and nightclub, in my former incarnation as the owner of Grand Wazoo Piano Moving.

“That’s wild,” Maui pianist Fulton Tashombe told me some months later.

“Scott stayed at my house for like three or four nights one time when he played here, and he doesn’t remember me at all!”

With its soaring acoustics and deeply resonant Baldwin Grand piano, the Makawao Union Church will be a perfect place to showcase Cossu’s musicianship when he returns to the Valley Isle this week. Also known for its remarkable stained glass windows, the 92-year-old Baldwin Avenue church harkens to Cossu’s 1992 comeback album, Stained Glass Memories. The title commemorates a specific milestone in Cossu’s recovery, when his vivid recollection of church windows brought back his memory of stopping at a neighborhood church each day after high school to practice the piano.

Cossu has had a longstanding affinity for Islands, the name of his classic 1984 release, and for Hawaii. His 1992 CD, She Describes Infinity, contains the tune

“Napali Anthem,” and When Spirits Fly (1998) includes “Kalani Honua.” Tides Between Us, his new recording, features Puget Sound orcas at sunset on the cover, and is filled with warm, melodious explorations, both serenely contemplative and rambunctiously bluesy.

Longtime collaborator Van Manakas adds his unique guitar riffs, extending and invigorating the compositions. Cellist Jami Sieber, who mesmerized an audience at The Studio Maui in Haiku in 2007, provides another layer to the audio amalgamation, which also features flutist Ann Lindquist.

Cossu acknowledges the ever moving, changing, soothing qualities of water, which ultimately connects us all. Part of the proceeds of his new recording are being donated to the conservation group, People for Puget Sound. Likewise, Cossu asked that his Maui performance benefit a local organization, the Sierra Club Maui Group. MTW

Green overload

MISHKA WED MAY 6 10 PM

[film] SOYLENT GREEN This week we have thought nothing but green thoughts. But enough is enough. After all, we can only reiterate our impending doom so many times before you get fed up and reach for some tawdry tabloid. So in this space we aim to shed the green that denotes apocalyptic avoidance in favor of less green, um, pastures.

After this, that is: Soylent Green is one of the most heavily trafficked dystopian flicks on record (I’ll save you some time: it’s people. You’re welcome.) It’s set in the year 2022, which is just around the corner, really.

While most films set half a century in the future are often hilariously off the mark, this one might be scarily spot-on in places. It stars my president (Charlton Heston) as a detective in New York, a city with a population that has grown to 40 million starving people. Only the super rich can afford real food and women are “furniture” that come with an apartment. Even more swiftly approaching than 2022, according to the Internet Movie Database, is the remake of this flick, tentatively slated for release in 2012. Scary.

[album] VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY The Kinks Fortunately this classic album brings us a few strides further away from thoughts of nuclear holocausts and zombie apocalypses...or does it? Yeah, it does. One of the best things about The Kinks was their ability to be a little nostalgic while maintaining a hard line of biting satire. This record is a case-inpoint. The loose and overarching narrative is one that hearkens back to a similar place and time, an England that frontman Ray Davies, ironically, seems to know did not actually exist. Ever. The song “Do You Remember Walter?” is an epistle to a childhood friend, one with whom he would sneak cigarettes but who is now probably fat and married. “Picture Book” is perhaps the album’s most addictively catchy track, and has unfortunately been used in a commercial or two.

The tune “Big Sky” is momentous and deceptively simple. The message here is one of hanging on despite human cruelty and feelings of insignificance. Village Green is one of those records you listen to for the gestalt of it. Although it’s more than the sum of its parts, most of the tracks stand quite well on their own.

[book] THE QUIET AMERICAN Graham Greene So even though we’ve moved away from greenness in the sense that we’ve avoided environmental friendliness as a theme—we’ve taken green out of the title and referenced an author who uses an alternate spelling of the word—we still come back to the same questions. Greene wrote this novel in 1955, well before the American presence in Vietnam stepped out of the shadows. The protagonist is a heavily sedated journalist who is intent on remaining unattached until the turmoil outside his door impacts his love. The antagonist is a soft-spoken and intellectual young American who defies the obnoxious American stereotype. He shows up in Vietnam as a covert agent and speaks of the need for a “third force,” one that supersedes colonialism and communism. At the core of this novel is a dilemma journalists often face: the choice between remaining unattached and “objective” and becoming actively involved in events. It all depends on whether or not one believes that objectivity, in the strictest sense of the word, is possible (it’s not). MTW

handed statement about global warming can relax: the few comments made about climate change are subtle but informative.

Sometimes when I’m at the zoo, watching the creatures frolic, a random idiot standing next to me will feel the need to provide the animals with dialogue. I’ll be watching a lion in his cage when I suddenly hear “I’m really hungry” or “I’m stinky, I need a bath!” from some lady close by, trying to keep her kids entertained. The narration in Earth is like that lady at the zoo.

The producers couldn’t have picked a better narrator than James Earl Jones, who could easily have been credited here as The Voice of God. The problem is that Jones’s dialogue is really corny and far cheesier than anything he ever uttered as Darth Vader. Despite Jones’s booming baritone, the narration dumbs down the mysterious, sometimes unexplainable lives of wild animals. Thankfully, this is the sole flaw of this otherwise marvelous documentary.

The imagery is astonishing and will mesmerize audiences of all ages. It cap-

This may be the closest you’ll ever get to a polar bear’s ice hole. tures sights and events so awe-inspiring, they must be seen on the big screen. A bird’s eye view of a lion relentlessly chasing a caribou is thrilling, as are the dizzying shots above seemingly bottomless cliffs and waterfalls. There are also haunting scenes involving what Jones refers to as “The Circle of Life” (in a knowing nod to another Disney movie). One features a Polar bear making a desperate attempt to stay alive and another a nighttime attack on an elephant by a group of hungry lions.

Some of this plays like When Animals Attack…Each Other! but this is a G-rated film and you never see any real bloodshed.

Watching this, you’ll often have the sensation that you’re floating across these beautiful landscapes and could brush the treetops with your feet. You’ll see how the filmmakers pulled off the gravity-defying cinematography in the end credits, an amusing montage of outtakes where the camera crew, frequently flying in a hot air balloon, crashes into a tree and gets a little too close to its carnivorous subjects.

Distracting narration aside, this film delivers a big-time “wow” factor and leaves you with the stunning realization that all of this is happening, somewhere in the world, right now. MTW

THIS WEEK’S PICKS Conguero extraordinaire

Thursday (Apr. 23), 7:30pm, Castle Theater, MACC

Friday (Apr. 24), (8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.), MCC Pilina Student Lounge

Beards. They are one of the bolder assertions of self a man can sport. To effectively rock a beard one must be able to back it up, as bearded individuals like Fidel Castro, Abraham Lincoln, Samuel Beam and others have. It is debated whether or not Jesus actually had a beard, but portraying him with one seems to lend the man an enhanced sense of patriarchal wisdom (malarkey, I say!). Latin jazz bandleader Pancho Sanchez sports a beard most supreme, but his true power lies in his conga playing. He makes them sing. The sound he and his eclectic band generate is one that can thaw the most Russian dictatorial of hearts and inspire swaying among the bearded and beardless alike. $12/$30/$40.

During a recent Friday Jacques’ venture, my associates and I were discussing the merits of various ethical modes and weighing Kant’s rigid deontological code against Mill’s liberal utilitarian ethics. I turned to the visibly intoxicated dude adjacent me and asked him if he believed that one should adhere to an unbending code that prohibits individuals from even, say, telling a white lie to save a life, or if one should consider the greater good in everything he or she does. His response: “nice rack.” Yeah, well. In Maui’s green community the rift in people’s views on the future of tourism consists of two opposing viewpoints: one that embraces barring it outright and one that involves overhauling Maui’s tourism industry to make it less harmful to the environment in order to preserve the economy. This week Mauians can hear about emerging developments in sustainable tourism courtesy of the Sustainable Living Institute of Maui. William Durham of Stanford’s Center for Sustainable Travel and Masaru Takayama of the International Ecotourism Society, among others, will talk about the future of tourism and ways that those in the visitor industry can prepare for changes. Free.

Renaissance hillbilly Saturday (Apr. 25), 7pm, Café Marc Aurel, Wailuku Most people know Randall Rospond through his work with gypsy-grass outfit Haiku Hillbillys, but like many creatives his skills go beyond that of just one medium. Friday night serves as the opening of an exhibit showcasing his vivid, highly trippy visual art, a collection dubbed Liquid Rose Toons. The display will also feature the photography of Sandra Conway. Issuing forth from the sound system will be Rospond’s home-brewed blend of eclectic music, which, when you factor in cocktails, makes this event a delight for virtually all of the senses. Free.

There is nothing more symbolic of the West’s assault on Hawaiian culture (and, actually, almost any other culture that had the decency not to embark on a conquest of its own) than the story of taro, or kalo. The plant, once a highly versatile nutritional and medicinal staple for Hawaiians, flourished in the Pacific Islands, Southeast Asia, India, Egypt and even Rome. Hawaiians were among the most avid cultivators of kalo, and at one point over 300 varieties of the plant were being grown across the islands. But with colonization and the ensuing ebb and flow of land-altering industries ranging from sandalwood to development, Hawaiians saw their loi (taro patches) get smaller and smaller.

Many believe that now is the most opportune time to bring this vital cultural element back to its full glory. This weekend’s Taro Festival will help by demonstrating reverence for kalo’s significance and spreading awareness. The celebration includes live local music, craft booths, poi pounding, food and more. Free.

Okay, I get it. Some people are really into this whole reproduction thing. Not really my cup of tea, but after seeing Children of Men I guess I can see what the big deal is. This weekend’s KeikiFest celebrates the little ones while simultaneously giving them stuff to do that will tire them out. This is an absolute can’t-miss for anyone who has recently passed on his or her DNA, as the fun, food and sugary items, not the least of which being cotton candy, will be non-stop. Cool things like free swing dance lessons from Private Image Dance Studio should pique the interest of young’ns in attendance, but the diversity of activities means there’ll be something for virtually everyone in this age range (i.e. bouncy castles). Parents will find loads of information booths on everything from classes to keiki health insurance programs, entertainment and even a car show. This year’s theme is “Celebrating the Keiki—April, the Month of the Young Child.” The event, which more than 5,000 people attended last year, is put on by Kiwanis Club of the Valley Isle, Maui Chapter of Hawaii Association for the Education of Young Children, 4-H Maui and Neighborhood Place of Wailuku. Free.

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Forego superstition. It’s holding you back. Here you are, worrying about the bad luck you might incur walking under a ladder, as if you weren’t about to climb the damn thing and face the very real possibility you could fall off and break your neck. Quit worrying needlessly about stuff that will almost certainly never have any bearing on your life. Focus instead on avoiding accidents that are much more likely (and, luckily, avoidable). That’s a far more constructive use of your mental energy and time, since it will help you safely move forward, whereas paranoid worries about purely theoretical and unlikely events will, of course, only hold you back.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) After racing home at breakneck speeds, hurling yourself breathlessly through the front door, and frantically securing its twenty-three locks and bolts, you discover that what you thought you were successfully fleeing is actually already inside, gleefully awaiting you, and you’ve just very securely locked yourself in with it. Since you obviously can’t run from this thing, you might as well deal with it. Whether it’s a zombie that must be cut up and buried in 46 different places before it will rest easily, or a fussy judgmental in-law who needs to be sat down to tea, there’s no point in putting it off any longer. Get it done.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Trust is an exceedingly tricky thing. Once you’ve been burned a few times, it becomes more difficult to take that leap of faith and give someone the benefit of the doubt. It’s easy to become convinced no one deserves it. Some people do, though. You need to have more people you choose to trust in your life.

Luckily, eminently qualified and generously willing friends are patiently standing by, and even putting themselves out there by offering their sincere support. If someone asks for your trust this week and you’re anything less than 80% convinced they don’t deserve it, please just go out on a limb and give it to them.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Like a song you can only remember the chorus to, or that name that’s on the tip of your tongue, what you need to know is already in your head; you just can’t quite see it yet. Stop looking outside yourself for answers. The ones you’ll get that way simply won’t be the right ones. Your gut will tell you so, and you’ll end up feeling frustrated, thwarted, and more confused than before. This isn’t one of those things other people can really help you with, so there’s no point in wasting time seeking advice or new information.

At this point, that’s just noise. Find someplace quiet enough to listen to yourself, not them.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) It’s perfectly natural to focus on the negative when shit goes down. It’s still a bad habit, though, and one that’s more likely to worsen the situation rather than improve it. Even in the worst of times, the blessings in your life outweigh the crap—by quite a bit! Notice that. You actually have a multitude of reasons to feel happy even during those seemingly high-stress moments. See if you can keep enough of those blessings in mind to keep a genuine smile on your face, even as you navigate the hurdles and stumbling blocks life throws your way. You’ll find, happily enough, that they’re much easier to jump over that way— which should be just one more reason to grin.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) I wonder how much the founders of the United States anticipated about the future of their new nation.

Surely they could see the potential to grow beyond the original thirteen States, but it was probably impossible to guess exactly how the country would grow and evolve. Instead of trying to anticipate every eventuality, they sought to create a structure that could accommodate change. With your future as uncertain (and promising) as it is, trying to plot out all possible courses would be a futile waste of time. Instead try to set yourself up to be able to roll with anything. You’ll probably need to.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Ask and ye shall receive. It doesn’t always work that way, to be sure, but sometimes getting what you need is as simple as forthrightly and sincerely asking for it. It might not come naturally to you to just directly ask for what you want or need; you’re more used to doing things for yourself, or going without them if you can’t get them on your own. That’s all the more reason that you should try to cultivate the habit of remember that you’re not all alone in the world, and that many people love you, and are more than willing to fill in the gaps for you. Scrap the too-convoluted plans you’ve been hatching, the ones that very nearly require you to be in two places at once, and try it my way, instead. Just ask.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Your fascinating tendency towards extremes isn’t useful right now. Find a more balanced approach, one that wouldn’t normally even occur to you (consult a Libra if necessary). For example, erecting an electrified fence and lining its borders with poison isn’t really the best solution to get rid of pests in your garden. Conversely, simply asking them to leave and not return, while much simpler, is no more appropriate.

Find the middle path, and walk it for a while. You’ll discover it’s far more likely to get you where you want to go than the routes you were considering before.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Empowering Hawaiians, Strengthening Hawai‘i

38

Set a goal. Sometimes you’re excessively focused on the process and you forget about its conclusion.

While I’m proud that you’re enlightened enough to remember and embrace that the journey is indeed more important than the destination, that doesn’t mean you should forego having one entirely. Having a concrete, achievable end point can imbue that journey with meaning and depth it lacked before.

Wandering aimlessly may have its appropriate place and time, but right now you’d better know where you’re going, how you plan on getting there, and when you’re due to arrive. If you don’t, stop in your tracks until you figure it out.

Usually you’ve got amazing timing, but lately it’s been way off. What may have been a virtual treasure a while back is now no more valuable than an undiscovered trove of melted chocolate Easter eggs.

Don’t beat yourself up about it, though. There are plenty of other riches to be found. This week is a great time to find them, too—but you have to get on the ball and shake off your recent setback very quickly.

Instead of wasting time feeling bad about this dead end, and lamenting what you could have had, get going on the next quest, so you don’t get there too late, too.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) I tend to think people look better without make-up. However there are benefits to wearing a mask (which is all, essentially, make-up is) that you can’t reap any other way. This is a good week to change things up. If you’re used to always wearing a mask (even one as simple as lipstick and eyeliner) when you go out in the world, trying going a week without one. If you’ve already shed the need for a mask to hide your “flaws,” donning one could serve a different purpose: revealing a deeper truth about yourself, one that is not otherwise apparent.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Last night I dreamt my neighbor tearfully confessed he’d invented a deadly virus that had no cure. It had escaped its confines, and it was only a matter of time before it would virtually wipe out the human race. I fervently hope that no one out there is so malignly foolhardy to work on such a thing (even while I cynically believe that someone is). If you’ve got a potential Pandora’s box on your hands, get rid of it this week, while you still can, and before some imbecile opens it. Even if the consequences are far less serious than human extinction (and here’s hoping they are), there’s really no need to risk them.
