EDITOR’SINBOX OUT OF TUNE Your paper is all kinds of awesome.

Something really bothers me though, about the title of your last cover article. “Strange Fruit” is best known as the title of a historically and emotionally profound song about African Americans hanging on nooses on trees. And while I’m concerned about GMOs, as an issue they just don’t compare to that. Maybe I’m oversensitive, but I prefer to assume that the title was chosen without knowledge of its origins. Thanks for listening.

Weirded Out, posted at mauitime.com Ed. Note: The title was chosen with awareness of the song, but no intention to draw a direct correlation.

GET YOUR TAX STRAIGHT Whoever is responsible for the Coconut Wireless section of your paper obviously does not bother to go and check out anything firsthand!

Had he done so, he would have been very surprised to see a large group of pleasant individuals—from both sides of the aisle, all age groups, and all economic levels—enjoying themselves immensely at the Tea Party in Kahului. You see, even though we are indeed fed up and angry at the pitiful condition of our country’s system of taxation (among other things), even though we fully intend to keep this movement alive and growing in the future, it is not solely the “fault” of one party or the other. It is the fault of “We the People”—and that includes every one of us. There are positive, sweeping changes on the horizon, friend. Take a little time to check out fairtax.org. And while you’re at it, go check out Neal Boortz’s great book, The FairTax Book. You may just decide to join us at our next Tea Party on July 4! It’s time to stop letting this government try the old “divide and

conquer” routine on us. We all need to start working together for the future of this great nation.

Rhonda Glass, Kahului Ed. Note: Thanks for the note, Rhonda.

As long as we’re on the subject: Readers looking for an independent analysis of the FairTax and which taxpayers it would benefit and burden can search the archives at the nonpartisan factcheck.org, which investigated the issue in May 2007.

WONDER BRAH Are the rumors true, that Maui Time is holding back a photo of Big Foot taken by Brad Pitt?

Just Asking, posted at mauitime.com Ed. Note: This sarcastic post was the last in a series questioning why we didn’t run a photo of an alleged thief that was mentioned in Eh Brah! The discussion brought up a common misconception about Eh Brah!—namely, that we write the column. In fact, it’s an outlet for anonymous reader submissions. We sometimes remove incriminating details, but generally the information you see is all the information we have. We’re not in the business of picking sides with this piece, just presenting the eclectic, amusing, unsigned rants, raves (and occasional thank yous) that land in our inbox.

SEND YOUR FEEDBACK to the editor via e-mail (editor@mauitime.com), post (Editor’s Inbox, Maui Time Weekly, 33 N. Market St., Ste. 201, Wailuku, HI 96793) or fax (808-244-0446). All correspondence must include your full name, hometown and phone number.

We’ve got issues

LC Watch Blog wild

Crafts fair attendees sound off on hot topics du jour he 36th annual Seabury Hall Crafts Fair was so much more than a recession buster. Still, hundreds of crafters and food vendors were more than pleased to see that when the going gets tough, Mauians shop and eat with the best of them.

Thousands of people converged at the Olinda Road campus above Makawao town to attend the pre-Mother’s Day extravaganza, which has become the biggest and best of such yearly gather-

The LC’s minor decoy program has been a frequent topic of this column, especially lately. As we’ve noted—and will continue to note as long as it’s true—every case considered by the Adjudication Board this year has stemmed from a minor decoy sting.

in my column. Indeed, the overtures began even before the gates opened at 9am, as a bagpipe and drums ensemble conjured up a misty rain to bless the day.

“I know you usually write about environmental issues,” a friend remarked, “but I can tell you that mental health care issues are really being hit hard right now.

Funding is evaporating. People are out on the street with nowhere to turn.”

My friend is a social service/health care professional, on the front lines of one of

But at least the Maui County Department of Liquor Control has never solicited minor decoy participants on its blog (partly because it doesn’t have a blog, but still). That’s more than can be said for the department’s counterpart in Oregon (olccblog.blogspot.com), which posted an entry on March 6 that invites anyone between the ages of 17 and 20 who “look[s] their age” and has no criminal record to apply.

The 20-something son of a good friend asked me how I felt about President Obama—and I sensed there would be a follow-up question.

County and state planners might take note of such an ambitious, successful event and model their own project planning after the Seabury Hall “happening on the hill.”

Below the Oskie Rice arena, site of the Fourth of July Rodeo, freshly mowed pastures once dusted with yellow fireweed flowers were filled with hundreds of cars, trucks and vans. A procession of people trekked into the school campus driveway, lined with tall, stately cypress trees. Pop-up tents dotted the walkways and green lawns, lending a festive, carnival atmosphere to the school grounds.

With a panoramic view of the central Maui isthmus, it was easy enough to forget this is a learning institution.

Seabury Hall’s welcoming surroundings stand in stark contrast to nearby King Kekaulike High School, whose stark, stiff architecture and layout feels more like a youth detention facility. have often attended the storied mid-May event over the years, just to take in the picturesque setting, live music and mingling. But this marked my first year as a crafts vendor, helping to display and sell my wife Heather’s jewelry and hand-painted Bali fabric doorways and home décor designs. I was ready to face the crowd, and also knew that at events such as this, I’m often approached by friends who have issues they’d like me to cover

Maui’s neediest yet least talked-about sectors. I conceded that I’d like to learn more and that whatever I can do to help spread valuable information, I’m down with that.

As the day unfolded and the crowds gathered, more people shared with me what topics were foremost in their minds.

The son of a good friend noted 10 years had passed since he graduated from Seabury. He asked me how I felt about President Obama, and I sensed there would be a follow-up question.

I expressed that I felt Obama’s performance to date was laudable, particularly given the state of disarray he inherited, and that he seems to be maintaining his sense of humor—always a good sign.

Had I heard about the movie, The Obama Deception, asked the 20-something landscaper/gardener. I told him I’d look into it and get back to him.

Turns out the film is the work of radio talk show host and native Texan Alex Jones. I learned that Jones has produced a number of documentaries, generally based on the premise of a New World Order or totalitarian government being behind various events, including 9/11.

His latest film portrays Barack Obama as a puppet of the elite to carry out their agenda, and claims the Wall Street collapse was engineered in order to take over the country’s finances. The film’s Web site claims Obama is “in the process of transforming America into something that resembles Nazi Germany.” It states that the “Obama phenomenon is a hoax carefully crafted by the captains of the New World Order and that he is being pushed

as a savior in an attempt to con the American people into accepting global slavery.” Whew!

Now, I like a conspiracy theory as much as the next person, especially when they turn out to be true (Hawaii Superferry as a testing ground for a military transport prototype, anyone?). But it seems that Jones is a few years too late in trying to accuse an American president of a ruse of such grand scope. Alex Jones has been labeled a conspiracy theorist, fear monger and a patriot, and has reportedly sympathized with the John Birch Society and David Koresh’s Branch Davidians. In my mind, documentary films and media talking heads are most valuable when they compel us to think, but are potentially dangerous when they attempt to do all the thinking for us. ight on cue after my research into Alex Jones, a friend sent the following email: Hi Gang, Well, here I am once more begging my friends to quit watching the propaganda networks like CNN and MSNBC, etc. and instead watch the only daily investigative

R

Here’s the best line: “Participants will gain knowledge of law enforcement operations and the criminal justice system…and may find this experience useful in pursuing future career and personal goals.”

What “personal goals” might be advanced by acting as a pawn in a small-time government entrapment scheme, the post doesn’t say. But it does offer minor decoys “high school and/or college credits.” Hey Billy, what classes are you taking this semester? Oh you know, geometry, English, biology, French and, uh…pretending to buy booze for the cops.

To be fair, the rest of the blog looks somewhat informative, and it does a good job promoting the state’s bottle bill and recycling programs. In that sense, Maui’s liquor code enforcers could learn a thing or two from the OLCC.

Here’s a multiple-choice quiz for anyone who drives through Wailuku.

When you arrive at the large yellow sign on N. Market St. that indicates “pedestrian crossing” and see a pedestrian waiting to cross, do you: a) speed through obliviously; b) roll through slowly while glaring at the person for having the audacity to want to get from one sidewalk to the other; c) stop grudgingly halfway into the crosswalk and patronizingly wave the person across like you just did them a huge favor and expect a reward of some kind; or d) stop in the appropriate place, allow the person to cross and go about your day. If you answered “d,” congratulations: not only are you correct, but you’re in a very small, exclusive club.

RUM RETURNS TO MAUI! A 25 Y A FTER A

SAFETY FIRST (1) Recently, 118 local government councils conducted formal tests on their cemeteries’ gravestones to see how susceptible they are to toppling over and hurting people, according to an April Daily Telegraph report. (2) In April, a circus clown performing in Liverpool was ordered not to wear his classic oversized shoes because he could trip and injure someone. (3) BBC producers, wielding a “telephone book-size” set of safety precautions while making a recent adventure documentary, ordered Sir Robin Knox-Johnston (the first person to sail single-handedly and nonstop around the world) not to light a portable stove unless a “safety advisor” supervised.

SUSPECT BEHAVIOR For 15 years, police in southern Germany have been futilely tracking a female “serial killer” whose DNA (but little other matching physical evidence) was found at 40 crime scenes, including six murders. Only in 2007 did they begin to consider alternative theories, and in March 2009, a state justice minister announced that the case had been solved: The DNA matched up in the tests because the cotton swabs used to collect it had been contaminated at the factory (but authorities still have not determined which female factory worker inadvertently supplied the DNA).

SELLING HIM SHORT A 2004 burial in Allendale, S.C., is just now being investigated after relatives learned that the deceased, a 6-

‘CLICK’ OF

foot-7 man, was somehow laid to rest in a 6-foot-long coffin that was part of his prepaid plan.

ONLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST (1) In March, at a soccer match in Hilla, Iraq, between two local teams, as a player with the ball approached the goal to attempt a tying kick late in the game, an overenthusiastic spectator drew his gun and shot him dead. (2) In more hopeful news, authorities in Ramallah said that the March 24 bank robbery by armed gunmen who snatched the equivalent of $30,000 was pulled off by five Palestinians and an Israeli Jew, working together.

SPARE THE BB GUN… (1) An Oregon, Wis., man was arrested in February after his 9-year-old son wrote a school essay about the time his dad shot him in the buttocks with a BB gun because he was blocking his view of the TV set. (2) A 58-year-old man was arrested in Baltimore in February for allegedly stabbing his 19-year-old son after an argument over the son’s refusal to remove his hat during church service.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested in Centerville, Utah, in April as he roamed a neighborhood at night trying to break into several cars. The last one he tried was the private vehicle of a sheriff’s deputy, who was still in it, in uniform and finishing a phone call after coming off his shift. After arresting the kid, the deputy reported that the boy had been so stunned when he saw the deputy inside the car that he immediately soiled his pants. Said the deputy, “You could smell him.” MTW

ROBREPORT ISSUES: continued from page 5 journalism show remaining in the U.S.; Amy Goodman’s DemocracyNow. Last Friday’s show was a real eye-opener; investigative reporter David Barstow just won a Pulitzer Prize two weeks ago for his expose of how the networks retained ex-military talking-heads who, firstly, were secretly working with the Pentagon to disseminate pro-war propaganda, but more importantly, are on the Boards of Directors of defense contractors who have a direct financial interest in selling the wars to the American public. But the most amazing thing is that this story, despite making page one of The New York Times, has been completely suppressed by all the networks, and Barstow’s interview here on DemocracyNow is his only on-air appearance so far. Here is the link (don’t forget to click on Real Video Stream to watch this in beautiful flawless streaming): democracynow.org/2009/5/8/pentagons_ pundits_ny_times_reporter_david While some would call this story a conspiracy theory, notice that my friend calls it “investigative journalism.” I have always held a place in my heart for real investigative journalism,

a rare commodity, especially in Hawaii media. A Sunday Maui News story by Ilima Loomis that examined the county’s oversight in obtaining permits before bringing in heavy equipment to reshape North Kihei dunes fits that bill.

From my years working with the county I am well aware that when any work is done on the beach or makai side of the road, phones start ringing. Sure enough, a Sierra Club member and Kihei condo owner called me on Sunday morning, shortly after I had read Loomis’s story. When two more e-mails came in soon after, I vowed I’d contact the county myself.

The weekends also conjure thoughts of leisure activities such as baseball, and one

friend bemoaned his Dodger team’s loss of their star player, Manny Ramirez, to a failed drug test. Ramirez, one of the most feared hitters in the game and one of the most bizarre personalities, must sit out 50 games due to a human growth hormone masking-agent being found in his system.

One could argue that sports serves as a microcosm of society and thus provides insights as to our mores and behaviors.

Others might contend that Major League Baseball is really a diversion from the complicated world in which we live.

By 4pm at the Seabury Hall Crafts Fair, rain had begun to fall, dampening the final hour of an otherwise fabulous day and sending shoppers and vendors scurrying for cover. Over at the music stage, the small crowd that remained was treated to the surprise musical talent of the day.

Rachel Andrews, a Seabury junior, played guitar and sang an engaging hip-hop tune about peace, love and hope, exhibiting vocal range, technique and emotion surpassing many of the professionals that preceded her. As one of a handful who stopped to listen, I was amazed and uplifted.

That fleeting moment was an apropos reminder that even with all the issues swirling around us on a daily basis, the future may yet be bright if we choose to share our gifts, talents and our hearts with others. MTW

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

WEDNESDAY, MAY 6 As has been the tradition for the last couple weeks (if that’s long enough to establish a tradition), let’s begin by pulling a press release from my always-overflowing inbox. Today’s submission is from PETA, an organization I want to like but have never been able to fully get behind. (Their ridiculous attack against Maui ballplayer Shane Victorino over his love of SPAM was a prime example of why I appreciate PETA’s ideals but often roll my eyes at its tactics.) Anyway, this email blast, formatted as a letter to the editor, draws what can only be called a tenuous connection between the popular new Star Trek prequel and the many wonders of vegetarianism. The release is mostly harmless and silly, but here’s the line that puzzled me: “As usual, the new Star Trek movie will leave us with much to think about.” I don’t know about you, but the only thing the last few Star Trek movies left me thinking is: are they still making Star Trek movies?

cut spending, but I’ve yet to hear anyone besides hardcore, guns-in-the-woods libertarians identify enough cuts to pull us into the black.) The hope seems to be that no one likes taxes, and since the GOP is out of both power and ideas, they can just whip up people’s anti-tax anger and leave the messy details to the Democrats (who, to be fair, aren’t paragons of good sense and consistency either). The latest example of this style-over-substance grandstanding: Yesterday, Gov. Lingle invited the Tea Partiers to a gathering on the steps of the Capitol, where she vetoed bills that would raise taxes on the state’s highest earners and would also bump up taxes on hotel rooms and the sale of real estate worth more than $2 million. According to an AP report, hundreds of folks showed up and cheered as the governor wielded her big red stamp. Apparently the fact that the Democrat-controlled legislature will quickly override the vetoes did nothing to dampen the mood. I understand the appeal of political theater, but I hope those who attended this public display of pretend power realize they were set pieces in a PR stunt aimed at boosting Lingle’s profile and greasing the wheels for a run at the United States Senate.

Here comes another inter-island ship storm. hawk their wares during the lull between Valentine’s Day and the fall/winter holiday marathon. That said, mothers are way cool and recognizing their importance is never a bad thing. To my own mom, my son’s mom (alternately known as my wife) and all the other mothers out there: thank you for all you do—and I hope you liked the card.

MONDAY, MAY 11 SATURDAY, MAY 9 So they released the list of the most common baby names of 2008, and Jacob was once again tops for boys (Emma for girls). I suppose I should be happy my parents gave me a popular moniker (and mostly I am), but what it means practically is that every time I pass a playground or schoolyard I hear adults calling to me, often in disapproving tones. The stats, which come from the Social Security Administration, found Barack moving steadily up the charts along with Miley while one of the new names to crack the top 1,000 was Kash, meaning Americans are still equally influenced by national politics and low-brow pop culture—and don’t know how to spell.

This week in governmental incompetence: According to multiple reports, the Department of Public Safety’s Big Island office inadvertently sent a list of former state inmates—complete with their Social Security numbers—to a man, printed on the back of his supervised release papers. (In an extra odd twist, one of the people on the list was the man’s cousin, who he didn’t know had been arrested.)

Following an investigation by the Hawaii Tribune-Herald, the department blamed the incident on a cost-cutting policy wherein inter-office missives were sent using old documents. The man returned the papers and promised he didn’t make any other copies, while his cousin is considering a lawsuit. Recycling and frugality are all well and good, but stupid is stupid.

involving two shipping companies: Young Bros., which controls roughly half of all cargo service between the islands, and California-based Pasha Hawaii Transport Lines. Pasha currently bites off only about 10 percent of the market but is looking to expand, and the company has some heavyweights in its corner. According to a Pacific Business News report, as Pasha makes its case to the Public Utilities Commission, it’s gained the support of the U.S. Army, Gov. Lingle, state House Speaker Calvin Say and Maui’s own Rep. Joe Souki, who heads up the House Transportation Committee. Pasha’s pitch is that increased competition is a good thing. Young Bros. counters that while it’s legally required to service small harbors like Lanai and Molokai, Pasha would be free to target only large, profitable ports.

FRIDAY, MAY 8 It’s interesting how Republicans are simultaneously trying to brand themselves as the party of fiscal responsibility and the party of “no tax increases ever.” They decry government waste and ballooning deficits, but have yet to get specific about how they plan to balance federal and state budgets without collecting more money. (Yes, I know,

“These sports are just— you go do it, and you’re doing it on your own, you don’t have to answer to anyone.”

- Tony Hawk omewhere in downtown Lahaina, in between an ollie and a kick-flip, a young skater is on the lookout for the fuzz. He knows all too well that if the Maui County Police Department catches him skateboarding, he’ll be answering to them.

The sport’s unofficial slogan is “skateboarding is not a crime.” But according to

S

Maui County ordinance 10-52-150, the opposite is true. The ordinance states: “No person upon skateboards or similar devices shall go upon any roadway except while crossing such roadway within a crosswalk.

When so crossing, such person shall be granted all of the rights and shall be subject to all the duties applicable to pedestrians.”

However, skateboarding is also illegal on all sidewalks in Maui County business districts. Therefore, skateboarders in Lahaina are legally limited to skating the few decrepit sidewalks that exist in the hill-covered residential areas.

ble,” he adds. “I’ve even had my skateboards confiscated.”

Most skateboard laws were written to protect public property from the wear and tear of skateboards grinding against asphalt. But many of today’s longboard models are designed to safely coast down roadways—not grind curbs—much like one of the hundreds of beach cruisers legally freewheeling down Front Street on any given day.

Plus, many point out, in an age where every person must count each step of their carbon footprint, some Lahaina residents are riding their skateboards to work, only to be scolded for their conscientiousness. ot far from where that young criminal practices his tricks, or the gas-saving employee illegally rides to work, stands the place where both may have bought their paraphernalia: the Lahaina Skate Company. Donovan McNab, owner of the Lahaina skate shop (not the injury-prone quarterback of my ill-fated Philadelphia Eagles), has been advocating for nearly 10 years in the hopes of bringing a skate park to the West side. Victory is closer than ever—but the wheels could still fall off.

“I really believe a skate park will be a valuable asset to our entire community, for both locals and tourists,” says McNab. “A skate park makes the community a better place to live and visit. And this side of the island generates the most tax revenue for the county, so shouldn’t we have a skate park also?”

Councilmember Jo Anne Johnson, who has supported a skate park since the idea was first conceived, agrees with McNab.

N

“Skateboarders can be fined…and have their skateboard confiscated and submitted as evidence. It’s really up to the officer’s discretion.”

- Lt. Wallace Tom, MPD

To make matters worse, the strictly enforced skateboarding ordinance is mandated with a set of stiff penalties. “I can’t speak for every officer involved in every incident, it’s really a case-by-case scenario, but skateboarders can be fined, cited and have their skateboard confiscated and submitted as evidence,” explains Lieutenant Wallace Tom, spokesman for the MPD. “It’s really up to the officer’s discretion.”

One West side skater who asked that his name not be used says he is “constantly being harassed by the police.” He says he understands that it’s illegal, but that skateboarders have no place to go.

“It’s strange, because I always feel like skateboarding keeps me out of trouble, but then I’m constantly getting into trou-

“We must take care of the West Maui community needs, when our community is taking care of the needs of many other communities on Maui,” she says. “It is called capital reinvestment. Our kids deserve to have this park.”

Johnson says building a skate park would provide kids with a positive recreational outlet, and offer a “bright spot in our dismal economic [times].”

In 2006, Johnson pushed to have the county budget $100,000 to purchase plans from Gindline, a Seattle-based skate park design and construction company. From Kansas City to Israel, Grindline is renowned for building some of the world’s gnarliest skate parks, following a unique design protocol based on community input.

West side skaters and stakeholders agreed on a 15,000-square-foot design, complete with two bowls, a middle connector, a central green area and lights for night skating. The selected location sits immediately behind the Lahaina Aquatic Center.

Once plans finally met approval, the county budgeted funds for construction of the park in 2009. Currently, construction of the park is caught up in the permitting process, and all earmarked funds must be used by the end of the fiscal year.

“Once it gets built, this skate park is gonna be awesome, but it’s been a little bit slower than usual,” says Micah Shapiro, lead designer for Grindline, adding that the company understands “things move at island time.”

did.” Shinn says a lack of skate parks has forced kids in Hawaii to ride in public places and on private property, which has put an undeserved stigma on a widely popular sport.

“Skateboarding is now in the same league as baseball and football in terms of participation numbers,” Shinn says.

“Yet the keiki don’t have a safe and accessible place to enjoy the sport they have chosen.”

One such keiki is the 10-year-old nephew of Pam English, director of the West Maui Taxpayers Association.

English has been working closely with McNab in an effort to get the park funded and pushed through the permitting process before year’s end. “It can be

“This side of the island generates the most tax revenue for the county, so shouldn’t we have a skate park also?”

- Councilmember Jo Anne Johnson

Lahaina Skate Company owner Donovan McNab chats with the next generation of riders.

Island time or no, for McNab the skate park is long overdue. “I think it would be a sad sight to see the end of this year approach and go by and not see a skate park built for West Maui,” he says. “These kids over here deserve it, need it and have worked tirelessly for it.” aui County and the state as a whole have long failed to recognize the benefits of recreational skateboarding. “Skateboarding has a long history in Hawaii, longer than in most places,” says Scott Shinn, Director of the advocacy group Parents for Skateparks.

“Yet Hawaii never responded to the skateboarding boom in the ’70s with skate parks like California and Florida

tedious,” she says. Despite having to weave through a labyrinthine network of boards, agencies and committees, each with its own unique, sometimes contradictory demands, English remains cautiously optimistic. “I’m really hoping that we can break ground on this before the fourth quarter of 2009” she says.

English recently wrote and received a $450,000 grant from the National Park Service in order to pay for the necessary permitting, landscaping and lighting costs not allocated in the county’s budget.

Both Enlgish and McNab say continued public support is needed.

If all goes well, that fake criminal riding fakie down the street might have a place to enjoy his sport in peace. MTW

The mai-tai may be emblematic of South Shore Tiki Lounge (and other drinkeries of the tropic-themed ilk), but the Lounge is by no means a onetrick pony, and sets itself apart from other, generic establishments whose décor is heavy on the bamboo.

Modified earlier this year, the menu gives diners a surprisingly diverse array of options, including the addition of daily specials. Co-owner Mikhail Tassi (who, along with his wife Alma, took over the place in December 2008) says it’s bar food, but not quite.

While Tiki maintains an arsenal of colorful beverages—mai-tais and margaritas are only the beginning— the Tassis strive to make conscious choices when it comes to the environment and the local economy. If laminated paper could think and act, Tiki’s would do so globally and locally (respectively). “I try to get every-

thing I can locally,” Tassi says. “It’s just the smart thing to do.”

Tiki gets much of its produce from a Kula farm. Local fishermen provide the eatery with fresh seafood. The meat comes from Maui Cattle Co. Even the baked goods—hamburger buns and such—come from a local source. The Maui Local Company, which, Alma tells me, features a Maui Cattle Company Burger, Kula greens salad and a Maui Brewing Company beer, is the epitome of this.

An added bonus, Mikhail says, is that local growers are often easier to work with—the actual growers know Photos: owner Mikhail Tassi and margherita pizza; beach nachos; triangle shrimp skewer. you, and they’re stoked Including vegan options and going but that it’s good to provide iceberg letthat you’re using their stuff, he says. local aren’t the only ways this establishtuce-weary vegetarians and vegans (like The menu is convincing evidence that a ment’s proprietors demonstrate that myself) with options.

A taste of Maui PAIA FISH MARKET Maui collects eateries the way Paia collects transients. Some of them will stick around, settle down and contribute to the community. A lot of them just hang around for a while, give readers something to write about it in Eh Brah! and then disappear as mysteriously as they arrived. But not Paia Fish Market, which has been a part of Paia’s local scenery for years. My favorite dish is the flaky mahi-mahi fish and chips, but others swear by the fish burgers, which you can get with ahi, ono or mahi-mahi. There’s usually a lunch rush, so try to grab a picnic table before 11am or after 1:30pm. 2 Baldwin Ave., Paia, 579-8030.

T. KOMODA STORE AND BAKERY It’s getting harder and harder to get a glimpse of old Maui. Hotels are taking over the beaches and it seems like all the mom-and-pop restaurants are being run out of town. Even the swap meet has changed locations! But you can still get that old Maui vibe at Komoda’s, as well as the best freaking malasadas ever. They’ve also got donuts on a stick, fresh dinner rolls and dozens of other delicious confections. Fun fact: The “T” in T. Komoda stands for Takezo. As in Takezo Komoda, who established the bakery in 1916, before Hawaii was even a state. A word to the wise (and hungry): get to Komoda’s early. If not, you’re going to miss out on lots of the yummy baked goodness. 3674 Baldwin Ave., Makawao, 572-7261.

MINIT STOP A lot of eateries are area-specific. For example, the Haili‘imaile General Store is for Upcountry.

Central gets places like Sam Sato’s and Archie’s. The Southside gets the Tiki Lounge…you get the point. Well, there’s one place you can get yummy food, islandwide and late night: Minit Stop. Once, on an after-midnight food run, I went to four different Minit Stops just to get a chicken cutlet plate, which is chicken katsu drenched in gravy over rice. Minit Stop also serves delicious spam musubi, fried chicken, hot potato wedges, shumai and manapuas. This isn’t fine dining, but if you’re looking for a cheap and quick bite before heading to the beach, Minit Stop is where it’s at. Islandwide.

True Story: Da Kitchen has its own Facebook fan page. And when you’ve made it big on Facebook, you’ve pretty much made it big in life. Da Kitchen has fans that don’t even live on Maui, probably because of the epically huge portions. If you order the chicken katsu plate, you get essentially a whole chicken, breaded and fried. If you order the Hawaiian plate, be prepared to break your diet or share it with a friend. Since I’m a Central Maui native, I frequent the one in Kahului, where the décor is as much a treat as the food. 425 Koloa St., Kahului, 871-7782; 2439 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei, 875-7782; 658 Front St., Lahaina, 661-4900.

PUKALANI SUPERETTE I’m not too sure what a superette is—something like the love child between a grocery store and a supermarket? But I am sure that Pukalani Superette has some of the best bento lunches that Maui has to offer. They offer all types of local favorites ranging from adobo chicken to tako poke. In between they’ve got an alphabet of mouthwatering entrees and sides such as chili chicken, macaroni potato salad and namasu. Bonus: not only can you grab ono kine grinds, you can also do your grocery shopping. 15 Makawao Ave., Makawao, 572-7616. MTW

City boys Angsty Maui rockers may not be able to drink, but they can play all it prog-mo. Slow mathcore.

Devise any portmanteau of two or more musical genres that fall under the moodier side of the rock umbrella and you’ll nail down their sound—maybe. Yet like any musician who’s doing it for the right reasons, the young men in The Cities Love You can’t

The Cities Love You

Web sites: myspace.com/thecitiesloveyou; thecitiesloveyou.blogspot.com Next gigs:Thursday, May 28, 8pm at Hope Chapel, Kihei; Friday, May 29, 7pm at Hot Topic, Kahului categorize their sound under a single genre. It’s what would play at cyborg proms, heavy on shimmering synth and robo-rhythms but with brooding, distorted guitars and lyrics unabashedly steeped in matters existential.

It’s not a sound you’ll find in abundance on Maui. While there is, contrary to popular belief, rock and roll here, The Cities’ brand of rock is more likely to be featured on the soundtrack of a Lost Boys remake than, say, at a bar.

In truth, probably the main reason you won’t be seeing these guys at many Valley Isle venues any time

soon has more to do with local politics than the supposed lack of demand for original rock and roll on Maui. You see, the dudes are all under 20 years of age.

This means that the Maui County Department of Liquor Control bars them from playing at certain venues (ones that sell booze) during certain times.

If their recent gig at the courtyard at 33 N. Market is any indication, they do have a fan base, which I’ll admit consists of girls who all look to be well under the age of 20. But with limited venues and very few opportunities for airplay (a phenomenon recently punctuated by 92.5’s formatting change from modern rock to island sounds), it’s tough for these guys to get their stuff out there.

They met through a small network of musicians while in high school, but have only been rocking out in this configuration since November, when one of the boys heard about an all-ages show in Kihei. “We kind of just wanted to play,” remembers bass player and vocalist Adam Nolan, 19.

After that, they say, it just clicked.

Since then they’ve gigged twice at allages Oahu venue The Spot and have rocked out at one or two Maui shows. And they have already churned out some strong original material. Their latest release features four well-constructed, carefully engineered tracks. While their sound won’t likely appeal to those who aren’t fans of slow but dynamic, angst-ridden rock, anyone can appreciate the quality of the musicianship, especially given how young these guys are.

Guitarist and lead singer Jon Belen says he writes each song’s lyrics, strings them over a basic chord progression and turns it over to the other guys in the band, all of whom have equal creative control.

They got their enigmatic name, says Belen, from what he has experienced while traveling in large cities. They seemed welcoming, and more likely to appreciate the sounds he and his band want to generate.

The guys draw influence from a sizable spectrum of artists, though all cite Atlanta-based Sent By Ravens as a major inspiration. Guitar player Mikey Spencer lists Cigur Rose and Thrice among his major influences, while Nolan adds

Norma Jean, Color Revolt and Leo Waiau to the list. Drummer Ryan Flecklin says the Beatles and This is a Stickup have helped shape his style. Belen gives the most diverse (and perhaps telling) list of artists: he lists Katy Perry and, yes, High School Musical along with Pink Floyd.

Mauians who want to check these guys out should note that time is running out: the band, seeking a greater profusion of venues, is shipping out to California later this summer. They do have an upcoming gig or two, including a benefit for Hope Chapel on May 28 (the guys are Christian, but don’t label themselves a Christian rock band) and a possible in-store performance at Hot Topic the following day.

ing kidnapped priests, a stolen bomb and the Illuminati.

Hanks is still miscast but at least looks awake this time (he does more running in this movie than in Forrest Gump).

Demons is livelier and bloodier than its predecessor, but just as ridiculous and about as exciting as eating a stale Communion wafer.

There is one tense set piece where Langdon is trapped in a Vatican library and finds a novel way of escaping—it’s as good as the movie gets. The other action scenes involve explosions and shootings that become more and more laughable.

Ewan Mcgregor gives a charismatic performance as the film’s most interesting character, an earnest priest, but he doesn’t energize the film the way Ian Mckellan did in Da Vinci. The characters only discuss the plot and none of them grab you emotionally or have much life, including Langdon. Ayelet Zurer plays an attractive Italian scientist who joins Langdon on his quest and is his intellectual match. Hanks and Zurer have no chemistry and, strangely enough,

Langdon doesn’t even show any interest in her.

Zimmer’s score is overly bombastic and Howard stages a lot of fires and mayhem but none of it is anywhere near as exciting as any two minutes of his Backdraft.

The Dan Brown novels don’t seem to be a good fit for the big screen, especially when details like a bomb with an apocalyptic blast having low batteries are meant to be taken seriously.

MOVIECAPSULES Maui Film Festival Candlelight Cinema SHALL WE KISS - Unrated - Art, Foreign - This French film is basically about people making out. Explores “love,” a combination of neurochemicals and sensory stimuli that can make people act like complete morons.

French with English subtitles. 96 min.

New This Week ANGELS AND DEMONS - PG13 - Thriller - Based on the smash hit Dan Brown airplane page-turner of the same name, this flick follows a similar arc as that of Brown’s The Da Vinci Code in that it entails uncovering some trippy crypto-conspiracy type stuff involving the Vatican. I’m guessing this, much like the novel, will be more widely consumed aboard aircraft than anyplace else. 138 min.

IS ANYBODY THERE? - PG13 - Art, Foreign - This flick chronicles the life of a boy whose unique childhood involves being raised on the English seaside within the confines of the nursing room his parents run. Kind of like Ghostbusters II. 95 min.

MANAGEMENT - R - Comedy - The son of a hotel owner (Steve Zahn) falls for a businesswoman who passes through (Jennifer Aniston), and risks heartbreak, bad cliches and even bear attacks to follow her across the country. 93 min.

Now Showing 17 AGAIN - PG13 - Comedy - A thirtysomething dude (played by Matthew Perry) with a dead-end job and a crumbling marriage suddenly becomes, you guessed it, 17 again (and Zac Efron, incidentally), which is the age he was when he first impregnated his wife. 102 min.

BATTLE FOR TERRA - PG - Art, Foreign An animated what-have-you concerning the humans’ takeover of planet Terra, presumably after the humans have completely trashed planet Earth. Chronicles the struggle of a rebellious Terrian teenager who is trying to fight the power. 85 min.

EARTH - G - Documentary - Famous baritones Captain Picard and Darth Vader narrate this documentary that chronicles the migration routes and struggles of different animal families. Warning: there are bears. 96 min.

FAST AND FURIOUS 4 - R - Art, Foreign - What? Really? Why? 99 min.

FIGHTING - PG13 - Drama - A young inner city counterfeiter is taken in by a scam artist who then turns him into a super-mean bare knuckles fighter. Brutal and graphic fight scenes likely ensue. 105 min.

GHOSTS OF GIRLFRIENDS PAST PG13 - Comedy - In a film that critics have hailed as the Battlefield Earth (the book, not the movie) of romantic comedies, Matthew McConaughey plays a douchebag who womanizes copiously, and tries to get his engaged brother to do the same. In a dream he gets visited by the ghosts of past girlfriends who show him the error of his douchebaggery. 100 min.

HANNAH MONTANA - G - Musical Tween girls don’t care about this film’s plot because they are going to see it anyway.

Everybody else doesn’t care because they’re not going to see it unless dragged. 102 min.

MONSTERS VS. ALIENS - PG Animation - Wow, this Dreamworks film’s name is right up there with Zombies vs.

Bears, or even Zombies vs. Sharks. It involves Monsters, Inc.-esque creatures that must step up to defend the earth

BY KATE BRADSHAW CALENDAR@MAUITIME.COM

against aliens. Seth Rogen, Reese Witherspoon and Will Arnett lend their voices. 94 min.

NEXT DAY AIR - R - Comedy - A chilling portrait of class struggle from the perspective of underpaid shipping company employees. Well, maybe. The story begins when said shipping employees stumble upon bricks of cocaine and get the bright idea to profit from their discovery. 90 min.

OBSESSED - PG13 - Drama - Idris Elba plays an attractive and successful suit who is married to a woman played by Beyonce Knowles. It all starts to unravel when a pretty little blond temp gets a little too attached before, presumably, discovering that Scientology is the true way. 100 min.

THE SOLOIST - PG13 - Drama - Based on a not untrue story, this is the tale of a writer, played by Robert Downey Jr., who discovers an unbelievably talented busker (Jamie Foxx). Challenges ensue. 109 min.

STAR TREK - PG13 - Sci-Fi - We boldly venture further into the throes of Year of the Remake with this new spin on a sci-fi classic. Although technically this one isn’t a full-on remake, but rather a prequel to the series of events from the original flicks. Plus: Simon Pegg - whom we all know and love from Shaun of the Dead plays Scotty. I would totally go full nerd for Simon Pegg. 126 min.

STATE OF PLAY - R - Thriller - When a young and dreamy congressman’s mistress gets murdered, secrets start coming out. An investigative reporter gets tangled up in all of this, which is presumably entertaining yet highly unrealistic, given cash-strapped newsrooms’ inability to spring for the luxury of in-depth reporting. 132 min.

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE - PG13 Action - This film, which I thought they already made, traces the origins of the dreamiest mutant superhero of all, Wolverine. Hugh Jackman stars. 107 min.

THIS WEEK’S PICKS Paint it green

Rock and/or roll

Thursday (May 14), 6:30-8pm, Kihei Charter School

Friday (May 15), 9pm, Charley’s Paia

The degree to which we have altered natural landscapes across the globe—especially in the US—is nauseating. Lawns, for example, are something most of us take for granted despite the fact that many lawn grasses do not occur naturally anywhere near the front yards and golf courses where they grow rampant. And they’re an environmental nightmare, given the water they soak up, the pesticides used to protect them and the fertilizer runoff they cause. This is why the idea of a sustainable yard—one that uses plants that require less water and labor— should have broad appeal, especially here on Maui. Contrary to popular belief, sustainable landscaping will not make your house look abandoned. Tonight’s South Maui Sustainability lecture will feature sustainable landscaping experts Susan Wyche and Joy Webster, who will discuss things like water conservation, use of edible plants and composting with worms. Those inspired to transform their yard will find that a sustainable yard, in addition to having a much smaller environmental impact, can also be easier on the wallet.

It is a question that has been posed for decades in thousands, if not millions, of venues.

But whether or not we, as a society, are truly ready to rock is a quandary for which only history can provide an answer. As such, if we are to confirm long held suppositions regarding our readiness to rock and/or roll, it is our duty to stand and be counted at every juncture involving good tunes. Friday gives us an especially ear-pleasing (and, honestly, eye-pleasing, ladies) chance to do so, as elusive rock outfit Highly Unlikely will make an appearance. They share the bill with Maui metal band Severed Edges, the Licker Commission (hot diggity, what a name!), Elaine Ryan and Cameron Maxfield. $10.

For Matsuri Friday (May15), 6:30pm Saturday (May 16), 3pm Pilina Building, Maui Community College, Kahului While the word basically means “holiday” or “festival” in Japanese, for nine years Maui has turned its own Matsuri into a sizable function. This annual celebration of Japanese culture’s perennial theme is Kodomo No Tame Ni (“for the sake of the children”). It kicks off Friday night with the screening of two Japanese films, the first of which, The Picture Bride, portrays the life of a Japanese girl who gets sent to Hawaii for an arranged marriage. The second, scheduled for 8pm, is the animated gem Princess Mononoke. Festivities ensue the next day with Aikido demonstrations, saimin eating contests, Taiko drumming, Obon dancing and tons of keiki activities. The Japanese Cultural Society of Maui will present strands of paper cranes collected Saturday to the Children’s Peace Monument at Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park this October.

While I can’t claim to know nearly as much about the house music scene as I do about, say, garage rock, it is apparent that Maui venues have lately been bringing in some world-class house DJs. The latest evidence of this is Friday’s happening at the Cellar, which features the first Maui appearance of famed LA-based DJ Doc Martin. Martin, who first appeared on the scene in the mid-’80s, is known for seamlessly blending a wide variety of sounds based on the feel he gets from the room. Sublevel, a project on which Martin collaborates with singer Lilia, will also make its Maui debut.

Around the world in three nights Thursday-Sunday (May 14-16), 9pm, Casanova, Makawao Sometimes the events lined up at a given venue make it impossible to highlight just one. In Casanova’s case, all three acts slated to play make for a globe-spanning weekend. It starts Thursday with the Barabajaba Percussion Collective, a percussion and dance outfit that hails from West Africa. Featuring master dancer and drummer Youssouff Koumbassa, the band blends elements from Africa as well as Brazil and Haiti. DJ Shaman’s Dream and Rada and the Sambamix Dancers will also perform. Friday’s show brings us Oregon-based dubs and roots reggae bands and DJs for Bloodshot Riddims’ Pride 2 Upwise. And on Saturday, Palestinian musician Khalil Lulu will dazzle those in attendance with his unique brand of Middle-Eastern rock. Bellydancer Marya provides the visual element to this intriguing performance.

In both mythology and reality, few things are more significant across cultures than the sea. And nowhere is that significance more evident than in the Hawaiian Isles.

Fortunately there is an inexhaustible list of ways we can show our appreciation for the ocean, including skimming, surfing, paddling and attending this weekend’s Olukai H’oolaule‘a, which takes place at central Maui’s Kanaha Beach Park. There’s something ocean-related for everyone, including stand-up paddle races for $15,000 in prize money (I think it would be hilarious if at least one contender dressed up like Jesus— you know, like walking on water?), Hawaiian games and Polynesian sailing canoe rides.

Entertainment includes hula performances, a luau and a live set or two from superstar and Maui girl Paula Fuga, whose phenomenal vocals have gotten her national recognition and an opening slot in a recent Jack Johnson tour, among other things. Partial proceeds benefit Hawaii’s Junior League Lifeguard Program as well as Maui Cultural Lands. Those interested in racing can find info at olukai.com or by stopping by Neil Pryde at 400 Hana Hwy in Kahului.

SIGNLANGUAGE

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Greed is a tricky thing. Very few people are truly immune to its temptations, and you’re not often one of them. Unfortunately, this week it’s the surest way for someone to scam, mislead, or deceive you (or for you to deceive yourself). Now that you’ve been forewarned, the odds of you resisting that fate are much higher. Stay as grounded as possible and remember that even though you don’t have everything, you still live in tremendous abundance. You don’t need anything that bad; certainly your needs aren’t so pressing that you should be taking on anything with potential strings attached.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

FIASCO MONDAY MAY 18 10 PM

People say you should confront your fears rather than flee or avoid them. That, naturally, is much easier said than done. In fact, most of us don’t do it unless we have no choice. Under pressure, we frequently do succeed in mastering our anxieties, but it’s absolutely no fun. This week provides an alternative to waiting until you’re backed up against a wall. In front of you is an opportunity to tackle, head-on, one of your oldest worries, with the least suffering, complications, or pressure you’re ever likely to experience.

I’d hate for you to pass up this chance. You can face down and decimate your fears anytime you choose, but never again so quickly and simply as you can right now.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Any fence you put up can get knocked down. Its strength only determines whether someone will need wire-cutters, a fire bomb, or an 18-wheeler to penetrate the damn thing. I almost wonder if it’s really worth the effort of putting one up; anyone worth their salt will respect the boundaries you set, and those determined to violate them can easily do so. I’d say skip the barrier-erecting projects for a week or three.

Forgetting about putting up walls for a while should leave a hefty chunk of your schedule and a substantial amount of energy free. May I suggest you turn at least some of it towards building bridges, which are much better than fences in any case?

21+

SEATTLE’S MOST DANGEROUS BAND

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Technology has made our minds lazy. Already, we use it as a crutch to do stuff most people would have done with their brains a few decades or centuries ago. Very few people I know actually use their heads to do math, remember phone numbers or things to do, or even seemingly vital information that they’d be lost without (and are, when they don’t have access to their devices). Has your mind become the equivalent of a morbidly obese, housebound invalid? If not, it’s certainly well on its way. This week, ditch the devices and practice actually using it as much as possible. It needs the exercise.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Getting socked in the face by an airbag really hurts, I’ve heard. But it’s still better than slamming your nose against (or through) the windshield. Instead of taking affront at the recent hurt or indignity you’ve suffered, try to take a breath and a moment and see what’s behind it. Odds are intentions were good— and designed to keep you from greater harm and suffering. It’s hard to be grateful about getting punched in the mouth, but that might be what’s called for this week. See if you can muster up a graceful thank you. If you can’t manage that, at least keep yourself from punching them back.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Picky parents breed picky children. Those kids aren’t really inheriting their parents’ taste buds so much as their predilections, which they frequently observe and emulate. Mommy turns up her nose at onions, and baby’s a lot less likely to love onions. This is just the most obvious example of a way we affect others, frequently negatively. Just expressing your opinions can be enough to change another’s mind or perspective, often for the worse. Is your influence making someone else’s world smaller or more limited?

Correct that, if you can. It may involve biting your tongue, or, better yet, learning to like or appreciate something you never did before.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) I hope that should you ever decide you don’t want kids that a vasectomy isn’t the first thing on your list of options. While not necessarily permanent, it’s expensive and occasionally impossible to reverse. There are also plenty of cheaper and less complicated options out there. I appreciate how you just want to get the job done, but leaping immediately the most extreme of available solutions is not the way to go. Make a list. Start with the most out-there options and work your way down to more reasonable ones. There’s no point in wasting your time with the things on the top and bottom of your list. Just pick one in the middle and you’ll do just fine.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Most happily coupled people I know enjoy each others’ natural scents. That’s why I’m always curious that most people (at least in this country) go to such great lengths to mask or hide what they really smell like. So many things in our culture teach us to be embarrassed about our bodies. Personally, I find people who boldly occupy their own skins much more attractive than those who wear masks of make-up and perfume.

Whether or not you think going without deodorant is a great idea, you could still change your relationship with your body (and, yes, some of the smells it’s responsible for) for the better. Make that this week’s focus.

FRIDAY MAY 22

9–MIDNIGHT • $5

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Spoiled people don’t really realize what a handicap they’ve been saddled with until they reach a time when they can’t have exactly what they want precisely when they want it. They have no tools or practice coping with such a scenario. Watching someone experience such a rude awakening can be weirdly satisfying; coping with one yourself is another story—especially if you never quite realized just how spoiled you were. While that realization is never pleasant, take comfort in the fact that it usually results in a humbler, kinder, and ultimately happier person. Should you experience such a revelation this week, you ought to be able to take comfort in that.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) The moment most reality TV shows get interesting is when whatever facade people have erected for the cameras finally cracks. Of course, this is also the moment that many off-camera relationships suffer a blow. It’s extremely tempting to present a dramatically edited version of yourself to potential romantic partners, but don’t take this too far by obscuring or hiding vital information that you won’t be able to hide forever (or even very long). It’ll just lead to problems sooner or later. This doesn’t mean you need to lay out your baggage and dirty laundry on the first date—but please don’t wait until the honeymoon.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Ask yourself: is this really worth making drama about? Would ____ (fill in the blank with your most levelheaded friend) make a big deal out of it? Sometimes in the heat of the moment it’s easy to get carried away and make a big stink over something that really doesn’t matter. Passionate feelings are one thing; I’d hate for you to lose those stormy moods and inspired insights. But this particular potential outburst is fueled by a lack of proper perspective, not the heat of intense emotions. Taking a step back will enable you to save face and keep things cool—so whenever they do heat up, it’ll actually mean something.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) I’m pretty sure it’s only a matter of time before we manage to create some form of non-human sentience (probably a machine or a genetically modified animal). What we do with our creation—how we interact with it, and what kinds of rights/autonomy we give it—will reveal a tremendous amount about who we are as a species. What you do with the things you create, your children (whatever form they take), also reveals much about you. Since it’s the primary criteria upon which you’ll be judged this week, make sure you’re doing right by them.
