Obama’s solution to North Korea: have the UN handle it? They and whose army?

BB, posted at mauitime.com Ed. Note: The argument wasn’t that Bush’s “axis of evil” declaration and the invasion of Iraq caused Iran and North Korea to launch nuclear weapons programs but rather to accelerate those programs, believing (correctly) that having nukes would insulate them from attack.

Here’s an illustrative timeline: Bush made his axis of evil statement in January 2002; North Korea pulled out of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty in January 2003; the United States invaded Iraq in March 2003 after months of buildup. The bottom line: in addition to costing thousands of lives and billions of dollars, the occupation of Iraq set back nuclear disarmament, emboldened rogue nations and generally made the world a more volatile, less safe place. That’s the Bush legacy.

Disappearing ink Lahaina tattooist offers free laser removal for Hawaii residents seeking a clean slate ngelica Keene of Kihei wanted to join the Navy. But there was one small problem— located behind her ear. It was a tattoo, a Zodiac symbol, that violated military policy. “The only thing holding me back was that tattoo,” says Keene.

She looked into removal options, but found that she’d have to spend hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars. That’s when she saw a flier offering free laser tattoo removal for Hawaii residents with unwanted ink on their hands and faces. Soon, Keene and her recruiter were headed to Electric Eel Tattoo in Lahaina for a

who’s going to sell you a car—every aspect of life, really,” he says.

Takhvar says he recently worked on a young man hoping to become a Navy SEAL who had an ace of spades tattooed on his hand. “Some computer said that was a Filipino gang [symbol] in Fresno or something,” says Takhvar. “He was like, ‘I’ve never even been to Fresno,’ but they told him he had to take the spade off. So we did.”

In addition to military recruits, Takhvar says he’s seen people trying to rise above their checkered past. “We had one gal who’d [been] through drug rehab,” he remembers. “She had about fifteen tattoos on her hands. She looked like

“We had one gal who’d [been] through drug rehab. She looked like a scratch pad—it was really bad.”

- Chris Takhvar, Electric Eel Tattoo Lasers break up ink pigment but usually cause minimal skin damage. session with co-owner Chris Takhvar and his laser.

Now, Keene says, she’s a visit or two away from being rid of her tat and in the Navy. “It’s a wonderful thing that he’s doing,” she says.

Takhvar, who’s been tattooing for more than a decade and has lived on Maui sporadically for eight years, opened Electric Eel at the end of 2008 with business partner Holly Doddridge. Doddridge, he says, had a vision to do more than body art; she wanted to offer a service “that [could] change lives.”

Using money she inherited from her late mother, Doddridge helped Takhvar purchase a YAG selective pigment displacement laser, valued at about $10,000. “She wanted to do something in remembrance of her mom,” says Takhvar. “Not a statue or a memorial, but something that’s active and continuous and constantly helping people. It’s part of our aloha.” s someone who gives tattoos for a living, Takhvar recognizes that sometimes people don’t want them forever—circumstances change, priorities get reordered. “This can affect career choices, who’s going to rent to you,

a scratch pad—it was really bad.” Takhvar says the woman just completed her second session and that he can already see a big change. “She looks so much prettier, so much more alive,” he says. “She’s rid of this ball and chain she kind of cursed herself with.”

Takhvar says he’s removed prison tattoos, and has also seen a lot of “home poke” jobs. One thing he hasn’t touched is traditional Polynesian and Native Hawaiian tattoos—and he says he’d be hesitant to do so. “It’s almost considered an insult to offer to remove cultural tattoos,” he says. “I’m not trying to insult anyone. I value the culture out here and how rich it is. For some people, this is part of their heritage and I respect that.”

But, he adds, facial tattoos in particular carry a stigma, fair or not. “You won’t get very far in the larger world with these tattoos, unfortunately,” he says. aser tattoo removal targets and breaks up the ink pigment but usually causes minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Different lasers are effective on different kinds of ink. Black and dark blue inks are the easiest to remove, while colored and light, skin-toned inks tend to be more difficult.

How much does it hurt? It’s been variously described as the sting of a rubber

L

band snap or the burn of spattering grease. Keene says the procedure is “a little more painful than having your tattoo done.” But, she adds with a laugh, “it’s better than getting your skin cut out.”

Because of its effectiveness, the popularity of laser removal has grown along with the popularity of tattoos. At the same time, a debate has sprung up over who’s qualified to operate the lasers. Some dermatologists and health officials say laser removal is a medical procedure and should be left to doctors.

Keene admits she was initially concerned about having the procedure done by a non-physician. But, she says, Takhvar quickly put her at ease. “He knows exactly what he’s doing, [he’s] very professional,” she says.

Takhvar acknowledges that, if used improperly, the laser can be “a damaging tool.” But, then again, so can a tattoo needle. The keys, he says, are taking the proper precautions—safety goggles to avoid eye damage, thorough cleaning and treatment—and experience.

“I’m not going to say I’m a doctor, but with the level of knowledge I have [from] my career, I probably know as much or more about the skin than some doctors,” says Takhvar. He says none of the people who’ve come in for removals have suffered any serious side effects or scarring.

For now, Takhvar and others who want to take up laser removal are free to do so under the law—or, rather, lack of law. There are no federal regulations for non-ionizing radiation (which also includes things like laser hair removal and tanning beds), meaning it’s left up the states. Currently, the Hawaii Department of Health oversees only ionizing radiation such as X-rays and CTscans. “We really don’t have jurisdiction,” says Jeffrey Eckerd, a supervisor in the DOH’s radiation division.

Eckerd says draft regulations for nonionizing radiation have been brought up in the past, but that right now they’re “on the back burner.”

Even if restrictive rules are one day put in place, Takhvar hopes he’ll be grandfathered in. Eckerd says that’s possible, but not guaranteed. “Usually there is some sort of grandfathering involved, but it would be addressed specifically when rules are drafted and public hearings are [held],” he says.

As long as it’s legal, Takhvar says he’ll continue to offer the service. He hopes to acquire another laser so he can work on a wider range of tattoos.

“In some cases, a tattoo is like a scar,” he says. “If people made a bad decision, we want to help them reverse that.” MTW

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD RELIGIOUS SEX In a nondescript building next to a mosque in downtown Karachi, Pakistan, the Qadeer brothers discreetly make and market a million dollars’ worth of fetish and bondage products a year for Americans and Europeans (through sales to stores and on eBay). In fact, if the radical Islamic office down the street knew about the Qadeers’ work, they might be in trouble, according to an April New York Times dispatch, but fortunately, the gag balls, corsets and whips are so odd for Pakistan that even the veiled women who sew them for the Qadeers do not understand that Americans use them for sex play. Customs officials, for example, were puzzled about how to categorize the items for tax purposes. “If our mom knew [the nature of our business],” said brother Adnan, “she would disown us.”

Confessions of a non-meat eater “Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances of survival for life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.” - Albert Einstein grew up in a town, Madison, Wisconsin, where the secondlargest employer, after the University of Wisconsin, was the Oscar Mayer meat packing plant. I recall seeing the famed Weinermobile driving through town for parades or special occasions, with “Little Oscar,” the beloved, diminutive celebrity, behind the wheel.

I

round this time, my older brother came back home on a break from college and announced his vegetarianism. Not long after, we drove up to join him at an old farmhouse in Minnesota for a turkey-less Thanksgiving, featuring a 20-pound stuffed Hubbard squash.

Back home, I remember my mom groaning melodramatically in the kitchen, in response to another food staple revelation. “Guess what your brother says we have to stop eating now,” she wailed.

“Tuna! They kill dolphins when they catch it, and now we have to boycott.”

Americans are meat lovers, plain and simple. Dietary alterations take a long time—as does coronary artery hardening.

Photo by Dror Feuer

Hungry?

As a kid, I was a bologna sandwich lover—slathered with mayo on white bread, if you please. Meat was a central focus of meals, from breakfast sausage or bacon to lunch meat and on to dinners built around roast beef, corned beef, ham, London broil, steak, sloppy Joes, beef stew, spaghetti and meatballs or even “wiener surprises.”

My parents found it amusing that one of their budget meals from my dad’s medical school days—hot dogs sliced lengthwise with melted cheese over mashed potatoes—was one of my favorites.

This was the blissful Baby Boomer era, when part of the post-World War II American Dream was the opportunity to consume goods that had been in scarce supply during wartime rationing.

The meat and dairy industries were strong, representing two of the “four major food groups” (along with fruits and vegetables, plus cereals and grains) in the pre-food pyramid era.

By the late 1960s, the societal mores of the day were being questioned: the Vietnam War; civil rights; women’s rights; environmental degradation. It only made sense that a growing dietary awareness would spring up among young Americans, centered on the “you are what you eat” precept. By the ’70s, health food co-ops sprouted, and many people had their first encounter with a strange food from the Orient: tofu.

With heightened interest about my own food choices, I picked up a book that profoundly shifted the way I looked at the world, Frances Moore Lappe’s Diet For a Small Planet.

Lappe explicated that essential amino acids and complete proteins found in meat are all present in vegetables, grains and legumes, especially when combined (e.g. rice and beans) to form “complementary proteins.”

But what really caught my attention was the revelation that animal feedlots are particularly inefficient at converting grains to proteins because of the wastefulness associated with feeding livestock corn, soy and cereal grains that could be consumed directly by humans. The premise was clear: the marriage between corporate agribusiness and the meat and poultry industries was not the way to feed the world. At least, not with an ever-growing population straining our overall agricultural yields. he 1970s also marked burgeoning awareness of the destruction of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil for expanding cattle operations. Word on the street was that if you were eating McDonald’s hamburgers, you were contributing to deforestation in South America.

I had heard enough. Just out of college and working as a cook at La Creperie restaurant in downtown Madison, I decided to go cold turkey and stop eating meat.

T

More than 30 years have passed since then, and I have stuck to my resolve with no ill effects other than some goodnatured ribbing from my softball buddies, who offer to throw a zucchini on the grill for me.

But in all that time, I’ve never tried to convince others to quit eating meat. With most people I know, dietary choices are highly personal, whether or not the person possesses much understanding of human nutritional needs.

To this day, I resist being told what to do, even when it’s the right thing. My analytical suspicion is that my reactive response emanates from some early childhood effort of my ego to establish itself—and it’s still often successful at trumping my educated superego, to stick with Freudian theory. So, far be it from me to tell others how to act, or what to put in their bodies.

Until now.

The more I read and learn about how our species (6.8 billion and counting) is impacting nearly every other living being, the more I am convinced that we need to change our over-consumptive ways. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has determined that meat production is responsible for an astonishing 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Eating less meat can be found on nearly every top ten list of things to do to green your life and reduce your carbon footprint.

You don’t even need to completely set aside carnivorous cravings; just keeping them in moderation will be a positive step for personal as well as planetary health.

In Belgium, city officials in Ghent, a university town 30 miles west of Brussels, declared that making one day a week meat-free, “is good for the climate, your health and your taste buds.” According to a report in The Guardian, Ghent officials are teaming up with Belgium’s national vegetarian organization, EVA (Ethical Vegetarian Alternative), and adopting Thursday as a vegetarian day. Beginning in September, the city’s schools will be making a meat-free meal the “default” option every Thursday. At least one hospital wants to join in.

The city council was persuaded to back the idea when an upcoming young chef, Phillipe van den Bulck, served a gourmet vegetarian banquet at town hall. The city threw a party to celebrate the first veggie day and distributed recipe booklets and 90,000 maps with listings of the best local eateries. Inquiries have come in from other cities in Belgium, as well as The Netherlands and Canada.

But don’t expect to hear “Meatless Monday” or “Tofu Tuesday” being announced anytime soon in Omaha, Des Moines, Albuquerque—or Honolulu. You see, Americans are meat lovers, plain and simple. Old habits don’t change

Hawaii is a smorgasbord of ethnic favorite meat dishes: teriyaki beef; kal bi and char siu ribs; kalua pig; chicken hekka and katsu; Portuguese sausage; the hamburger steaktopped loco moco plate; and Spam, the all-American island favorite.

There, two young local kids were playing, a boy and girl, maybe six or seven years old. I will never forget the looks of terror on their faces as they froze, motionless, while the pig let out a piercing, blood-curdling cry from the backyard—its last breath.

Vegetarianism isn’t for everyone, apparently. Those who subscribe to the Eat Right for Your Blood Type line of thinking might find they are descended from hunter-gatherers, and that they just don’t feel right without a regular meal of animal-based protein.

The significance of how humans treat animals has been pondered by some of the great thinkers of the world. The Buddha said that eating meat “extinguishes the seed of great compassion.” Author Leo Tolstoy put it even more bluntly: “As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields.”

ing or downright dumb headlines you can spot. Even those of us who make a living coming up with the dang things only churn out a good one every now and again. So it’s with hesitation that I cast a stone from my glass house. And yet, I can’t resist. Here’s one from today’s Honolulu Advertiser that qualifies for the prestigious Gee, You Don’t Say award: “Catching powerful sharks takes big hooks, lots of line.” Next week: “Lifting heavy things takes arms, strong muscles.”

Last weekend, the wife and I loaded up the wagon with towels and beverages and various implements of amusement and headed for Po‘olenalena Beach. It had all the makings of a perfect Saturday—until we plopped down on the sand and I started counting cigarette butts. I got to about 30 before I had to stop and snatch one from the hand of my curious two-year-old who looked like he was considering giving it a taste test. I am not some rabid anti-smoking crusader; in general I think tobacco users get a raw deal as compared to others whose habits (drinking, eating large quantities of fried food, etc.) are equally unhealthy. But this is the kind of thing that pushes me closer to the edge. Clearly it’s not just one or two inconsiderate puffers tossing their soggy nicotine stubs on the ground—they’re everywhere. It’s disgusting, thoughtless and a genuine environmental hazard. That mini-rant was preamble to a plug: I got an e-mail today from Maui Time contributor Beau Ewan, who’s also a teacher. One of his students, fifth grader Teak McAfee, is as mad about the butt flickers as I am—and she’s decided to do something about it. With Beau’s help, McAfee created a Web site (buttsoffmauisbeaches.com), with info, links and a petition. Check it out.

THURSDAY, MAY 28 Headline writing is an art.

Skeptical? Read through any magazine or newspaper (including this one) and see how many silly, confus-

Attention tax evaders: through June 26, you can make good on past taxes you underreported or dodged altogether without facing a penalty and with a reduced interest rate. As you’ve probably guessed, Hawaii (along with several other states) isn’t doing this out of a sudden burst of altruism, but because desperate times call for desperate measures. Why should I pay up now when I already got away with it, you ask? Well, according to an AP report, after this little amnesty window slams shut, the state is going to ramp up auditing efforts and look to stiffen fines. Could be a bluff, and if you wanna roll the dice that’s your call. We’re just here to elucidate your options…. In other news: Looks like relations between the County Council and Mayor Tavares, which have mostly been too cordial for comfort, are starting to strain as the budget process nears completion. Quoted in today’s Maui News, Councilman Danny Mateo, who co-chairs the finance committee, lambasted the Mayor’s “business-as-usual” approach. Tavares says that while she’s disappointed with some of the cuts included in the budget, she won’t exercise veto power because the council would just override her. Hey, that didn’t stop Gov. Lingle.

SATURDAY, MAY 30 Seriously though: it would be pretty cool to slam down that veto stamp, even symbolically.

SUNDAY, MAY 31 This is from a report in today’s Maui News: “Mayor Charmaine Tavares said she was just recently assured by Maui Land & Pineapple’s new interim CEO Warren Haruki that the hotly contested 255 acres at Lipoa Point are not for sale and the company has no plans to sell them.” Why am I not reassured?… In other news: Just got word that Hawaii Superferry is filing for bankruptcy. At this point, all that can be said has been said. However, I’d like to reiterate for those who keep accusing us and other critics of the vessel of gloating (and worse): no one is happy about the way this thing went down; we all lost.

Your butt is an environmental hazard.

MONDAY, JUNE 1 Say this about Gov. Lingle: she’s going out swinging. According to multiple reports, the governor is preparing to order mandatory work furloughs for all state employees—basically an across-the-board pay cut—to make up for a larger-than-expected budget deficit. Expect a flood of ire-laced sound bites and possible legal challenges from union reps and the legislators Lingle promised to “reach across the isle” and work with, both because it’ll be a unilateral move made without their input and, more immediately, because it’ll cut their pay (and Lingle’s too, to be fair)… In other news: North Korea is testing longrange missiles, we’re embroiled in two foreign wars, the economy’s still in the crapper and the government is about to take control of General Motors. But you know what’s really important? The 2012 presidential election. According to an AP report, less than five months after Obama took the oath of office, numerous Republican hopefuls including Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and FOX News talk show host Mike “if you want

to believe you and your family came from apes that’s fine” Huckabee have already visited Iowa—a mere two-anda-half years before the Hawkeye State holds its caucuses. Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney et al better get in gear. Can’t we just, like, put them all in a big steel cage and settle this quickly (and preferably bloodily)? Think of the ratings.

TUESDAY, JUNE 2 One of the most fascinating political stories of the year has been the evolution of Dick Cheney from tight-lipped behindthe-scenes puppeteer to the de facto spokesperson and legacy defender for the Bush Administration. As if this new, chatty, talk show-happy Cheney wasn’t strange enough, yesterday the former Vice President went off-script in a major way. During a speech at the National Press Club, he said he supports gay marriage (“freedom means freedom for everyone”) and admitted there was “never any evidence” linking Saddam Hussein’s regime with the 9/11 attacks.

Who is this crazy hippie and what did he do with Dick Cheney? MTW

very year, at various locales across Maui, bon dance celebrations are held. People dance, eat and generally enjoy themselves, but the historical and religious beginnings of the event are less well known. And despite its apparent popularity, in some areas the future of bon dance is uncertain.

Japanese Buddhists locate the origins of o-bon dances and services in the story of the Buddha’s disciple, Mokuren (Maudgalyayana). The story begins with the death of Mokuren’s mother. During a meditative state, he saw her beyond the material universe.

Because of her life as a human, she had been reborn as a hungry ghost.

Mokuren sought to give her food, but in her realm, human food appeared as fiery poison. The Buddha instructed Mokuren on the proper procedure for making offerings to hungry ghosts. His mother was satiated and danced in joy. Mokuren, seeing this, joined in her dancing and the people of the village joined Mokuren.

This practice was brought by Indian Buddhists to Japan around the sixth century C.E. and syncretized with indigenous Japanese practices honoring the dead.

Not to be confused with the indigenous non-Buddhist Tibetan Bön religious tradition, Buddhist scholars believe the word “bon” came from the Sanskrit “ullambana” meaning “to salvage souls from the agony of being hanged head down” or “avalambana” meaning “merit offering to the community that benefits the departed.”

Buddhist missionaries brought Bon dances to Hawaii just before the turn of the century. Dances were held irregularly in cane fields near labor encampments. During the early territorial period, plantations

helped coordinate and manage the dances, which would go late into the night and sometimes involve a lot of alcohol.

Marissa Muraoka, a sophomore at King Kekaulike High School and a yonsei (fourth-generation) Japanese dancer, dances “as a way to express my interest in Japanese culture, but at the same time have fun. My grandpa is a Buddhist priest so we’ve been doing it for a while—18 generations.” hese dances developed in Hawaii as a complex strategy for plantation laborers to relax with a familiar cultural practice, for the plantations to divert frustration over poor working conditions and for Buddhist missionaries to interact with the Japanese community.

T

Imai recalls, because other dances were held in unpaved open spaces in the camps.

While pre-World War II dances in Hawaii were very similar to pre Meiji era dances in Japan, after the war efforts were made by the Buddhist clergy to eliminate much of the “adult” aspects that caused the dances’ suppression in Japan. As plantation life improved, dances were moved to temples and held on weekends.

Second-generation Japanese in Hawaii were propelled toward greater assimilation by World War II, which helped establish bon dances as religious and multicultural events. In addition to the camp dances, Mrs. Imai remembers the different West Maui camps going to the old Honokowai School to participate in inter-camp bon dance competitions. She remembers

During the early territorial period, plantations helped coordinate and manage the dances, which would go late into the night and sometimes involve a lot of alcohol.

Jane (Kamimoto) Imai, a nisei (second-generation) Japanese dancer who grew up in the West Maui camps, notes that the Kuhua and Kilauea camps were fortunate to have a basketball court nearby with a paved surface to hold dances. “You’d get all dirty everywhere else,” Mrs.

her sister’s group winning the first place trophy for the Kuhua camp one year.

Dances involve both live and recorded music. In her childhood, Mrs. Imai remembers using recorded music from a loaned phonograph as well as music by the singer-

songwriter and taiko master Tokunaga-san. Tokunagasan improvised some of the songs, which included events of interest to the Japanese community in the 1940s and ’50s. Albert Watanabe, one of the founders of Maui Taiko, continues the live singing tradition by leading his drumming group in “Fukushima Ondo” at all of Maui’s bon dances.

Mrs. Imai’s childhood dancing was geographically limited by the availability of transportation.

“People would pick us up or whoever had access to a

dance represented economic development and uplifting of the economic circumstances of their families, who had previously suffered from the poverty of plantation labor camps. People too young to have grown up in the plantation camps see it another way. Those involved express despair over the thought of churches stopping their bon festivities.

“It’s sad to consider, but I think it’s inevitable,” says Melanie. “Lanai’s congregation is down to only a handful of seniors and as much as the community helps out,

In some places like Hana, where plantation camps used to be home to many Japanese laborers, the holding of bon dances has ended.

truck, we would all ride in the back,” she remembers. When raising her children, her family began to go to more dances around the island. When her husband passed, she joined friends in dancing the entire island circuit in his honor. Since then, she has become a regular and dances every year at most of the church events.

Some dance songs refer to towns or prefectures in Japan—as in the regularly performed “Fukushima Ondo” and “Iwakuni Ondo.” Others refer to world peace and societal values like “Ganbare Ondo” and “Harebare Ondo.” One of the most famous dances in Hawaii, “Tanko Bushi,” is a love song—but the dance gestures refer to the life of an agricultural laborer.

While many of the dances feature the Okinawan standard, “Asadoya Yunta,” the Okinawan community holds an annual dance featuring only Okinawan-style dancing to live music at the Paia Rinzai Temple in mid-August. oday, people from many religious and ethnic backgrounds go to bon dances to dance, to eat food sold by the churches for fundraising and to honor their departed families. Melanie Agrabante, a Hawaiian-Chinese-Caucasian dancer, likes the camaraderie the most. “I’ve made more friends through bon dancing than any other activity I’ve taken part in,” she says.

Joseph Daoang, a Filipino dancer, agrees: “I like the community-building aspect. People dancing together, laughing and enjoying a good time. And the food.”

Mrs. Imai says that while churches today offer refreshments to dancers, which sometimes involve lavish spreads, in leaner times “workers from the church would bring out a big tray with musubi and takuan (pickled daikon radish)” during the mid-dance intermission. She wondered if the current economic situation may drive more churches to return to the older practice of “rice ball and takuan.”

This process of change can be seen on Lanai where Filipinos have replaced Japanese as the dominant ethnic group. However, Mrs. Imai, Marissa, Melanie, Joseph and a group of other Maui dancers make the trip every year to dance at the Lanai Hongwanji’s bon dance. “It’s about people from the big city sharing with people in a small town who don’t have many dancers. They just don’t have enough people,” says Marissa.

Many older, long-time Pahala residents reported much pride on the eve of Pahala’s last bon dance in 1999. To them, the end of the tradition of the annual

T

when the last congregation member is gone, that will more than likely be the end.”

On the bright side, everyone seems to agree that there has been a renewed interested by high school and college aged dancers in recent years. Joseph started dancing a few years ago because of friends. “It helps me overcome my shyness,” he says. Marissa notes how some of her “guy” classmates are shy about coming to the dances but then follow their girlfriends and enjoy it.

Mrs. Imai is hopeful about this infusion of youth. “[I’m] glad the young ones are coming in.” MTW

Party hearty Popular Mexican joint has a new owner, but the same good eats unch hour. Late March. I’m meandering down Market Street when I stop to talk story with an associate who works at a nearby music retailer. He reveals that a vital occurrence is about to transpire: “Dude,” he says. “Fiesta Time is back.”

L

Fiesta Time 1132C Lower Main St., Wailuku 249-8463 Open 10am-9pm Mon.-Sat.

“What?” I ask. “This killer Mexican place on Lower Main,” he replies, employing a tone of sheer reverence. “The most excellent Mexican food around.”

He goes on to describe the joint’s standing as a Wailuku institution, and how its year-plus absence has left a gaping empti-

ness in the hearts of Central Maui Mexican cuisine connoisseurs.

Sure enough, the place reopens a few days later, the busty soldadera babe mural on its external wall beckoning all who crave quality south-of-the-border fare.

Flash forward a couple months: “Dude,” I say to a coworker around lunch hour as my blood sugar hits a perilous low. “We should check this place out.” So we head down on a doggedly hot day in late May. Owner Dave Gamberdell greets us with cool glasses of horchata and Jamaica (a sweet infusion incorporating the essence of hibiscus flowers and a spot of sugar).

It’s an ideal antidote to the merciless asphalt heat.

As my coworkers and I scour the menu, which has over 150 possibilities, Gamberdell tells us he took over the business a while back and that the restaurant’s original owners, Raoul and Stella Jaimes, have been extremely supportive.

Photos: (top right) owner Dave Gamberdell, fish and pork tacos; (left) guac tacos, chili verde, suiza and Mazatlan enchiladas.

When it comes to the food, he says, nothing has changed at either the Wailuku or Paia locations.

Guacamole tacos—sans cheese—are a given for me, of course. The coworkers go with the chili verde burrito (pork, mild spiciness, etc.) and the suiza (featuring a tomatilla cilantro sauce) and Mazatlan (shrimp) enchiladas. “Pork,” one coworker states. “It’s enough for me to forgive them for their flu.” Good God. The suiza, another coworker notes, is reminiscent of pizza, due to the presence of tomato, garlic, mushrooms and olives.

The guac tacos are a most welcome sight. Corn tortillas, of which I am typically not a fan, do not detract from the heaps of vibrant green guac, tomato chunks, refritos, et al. A double layer of corn tortillas is the default vessel, but they’ll substitute a hard shell or flour tortilla upon request.

What’s key about the menu, Gamberdell says, is that it utilizes a few

ingredients brought in directly from Mexico. The hibiscus –a different variety from the ones that dot manicured shrubs in these parts—is an example of this, as is the achiote paste. Gamberdell is a bit hush on other ingredients. Only a select few know the recipes for various sauces the restaurant employs.

Gamberdell says about the only thing that’s not made on-site are the tortillas.

He also notes that everything is made to order. This means the food is fresh, but is also means Fiesta Time isn’t exactly a fast food restaurant. There are no steam tables or heat lamps in sight, and during busier times an order may take 10 to 15 minutes. Because of this, Gamberdell recommends that you call in your order if you plan on eating during the 11am1pm lunch rush.

The public, so far, seems happy with the eatery’s new incarnation. As Gamberdell puts it: “I’ve never been in a business where customers have thanked me for reopening.” MTW

Unlikely heroes Maui rockers don’t perform often, but when they do it’s with style s he walks into my office, Ryan Serrano wonders aloud about the wooden beams that run above the courtyard of my building. It might be interesting, the frontman for Upcountry-based rock outfit Highly Unlikely says, to do a tune from up

A

Highly Unlikely Web site: myspace.com/ highlyunlikely808 Next gig: Friday, June 5, Market St., Wailuku, exact location TBD

there during the band’s First Friday show (which, due to noise complaints from those who’d like the event to be more tame, has since been relocated to Market Street). Bass Player Alex Locke concurs. “That would be sick,” he says. Yeah, I would discourage that, I tell them.

Not that it wouldn’t have been cool, but Maui Time is categorically opposed to broken bones of any kind.

But going out on a limb in front of the crowd is what these guys do during their rare stage appearances. A huge part of Highly Unlikely’s act, Serrano says, is the visual aspect. The two may have stopped by my office in board shorts, baseball caps and slip-

pers, but the look they sport on stage is the polar opposite of beach dude chic. On stage they typically don dress shirts (not the Chaz popped-collar variety) and vests, the whole bit. Dress may be lax in these parts, Serrano says, but “you shouldn’t look like you’re part of the crowd.”

Locke and Serrano accuse each other of being male models—and who am I to doubt them?—but stress the importance of being three-dimensional on stage. The worst thing you can do is stand still, they say. So they move. They interact with the crowd. They may even, at times, climb.

While stage presence is an important part of the band’s act, Serrano says that at times they get pigeonholed; that people often think they’re playing to the Twilight crowd when in fact they’d probably appeal more to fans of Alien vs. Predator.

Serrano writes the band’s lyrics, which he says focus primarily on drug addiction and relationships of various kinds—rock and roll stuff. Locke, guitarist Lewis Upfold and drummer Andy Quammen collaborate on the tunes’ instrumental components. Usually one will come up with a riff or hook around which the other guys construct the song.

The result is an extremely raw and musically simple brand of hard rock infused with punk rock momentum, primarily due to Quammen’s drum work. It’s no surprise that in his hometown of Madison, Wisconsin, Quammen drummed in bands that opened for the likes of NOFX and Bad Brains. You can

hear Sandin-esque energy and precision in his playing.

Locke’s musical background is probably the group’s most interesting. His father is John Locke, former pianist for the psychedelic ’60s rock band Spirit, a band best known for the rager “I’ve got a Line on You.” (And from whom, legend has it, Jimmy Page lifted the opening bars of a song now known as “Stairway to Heaven.”) Despite being encouraged to play music from a young age, Locke says, it wasn’t until he heard Black Sabbath that the light bulb went off.

Serrano draws influence from a seemingly unlikely source: James Hetfield of Metallica. He recalls being floored after seeing the band on Oahu years back, and was determined to become a frontman— but his vocals don’t sound like those of Hetfield. They lack that demonic quality that defines Metallica’s sound. At the same time, they’ve definitely got a heavy

dose of angst, as one would imagine given the band’s metallic leanings.

Highly Unlikely’s original lineup came together in 2006 when three of the guys, all working at Hailiimaile General Store, discovered that they all had similar musical visions. A year later they picked up Locke. Their decision to play only sporadically has endowed them with a certain mystique. They don’t want their act to get stale, they say.

This approach may have helped boost them into the final round of last year’s 92.5 Battle of the Bands, a rank they shared with two other Maui bands, both of which are extremely well known. It was JoJo, DJ for the since-reformatted 92.5 FM, that suggested they play after giving their tunes a spin on the air. Friday’s show will serve as a much-needed dose of the heavy stuff for Maui rock fans. It’s highly likely that they will deliver in style.

And without injury, we hope. MTW

★★★ ★★★ Rated R/96 min.

utopia created by mobster Bugsy Siegel is asking for trouble to begin with. Either way, the Las Vegas Film Commission probably loves that a place known for gambling debts, moral and political corruption and temporary marriages is a constant setting for comedies.

The four leads of The Hangover are a giddy groom-to-be (Justin Bartha)

and his nutty groomsmen (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis) who wake up in their Vegas suite after a night of prenuptial partying and find that they can’t remember a thing that happened the night before but have lots of physical proof that whatever occurred was highly illegal and could lead to multiple arrests.

As directed by Todd Phillips, the man behind Old School, this stupid comedy is occasionally hilarious, but doesn’t cash in on its promise. The cast is both an asset and a problem: Bartha, who stole both National Treasure movies playing Nicolas Cage’s snarky sidekick, is mostly absent, which is a real mistake—the guy could carry a comedy by himself. Another misstep was casting Galifianakis, a poor substitute for Will Ferrell. Ferrell could’ve played the role of the deadbeat slob in his sleep and still have been funnier. That leaves Cooper, the villain of Wedding Crashers, and Helms, who is playing an R-rated version of his character from The Office, to carry the movie—and they almost pull it off.

Three drunk men and a baby.

Some very raunchy, out-there gags make this more memorable than it deserves to be, especially a sequence involving a tiger, another with two crooked cops abusing the trio for the amusement of sadistic children and a Mike Tyson cameo. The jokes are noholds-barred, but the best the movie can come up with are cheap laughs. Even Dude, Where’s My Car? got more comic mileage out of the what-happened-lastnight scenario. The plot sloppily connects one joke to another but has no respect for story or character. The people on screen

are as real and fleshed out as figures in a one-joke SNL skit.

The movie has a howlingly hilarious scene that plays during the end credits and reveals a major plot point. It is, by far, the film’s funniest moment. Yes, that’s right, the end credits are the best thing in the movie. Is it worth top admission price to see them? No. Wait to see this on DVD or watch it the next time you’re in Vegas.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Call Brad @ 283-3260 or Tommy @ 283-0512

MOVIECAPSULES Maui Film Festival Candlelight Cinema FIERCE LIGHT: WHEN SPIRIT MEETS ACTION - Unrated - Documentary - Martin Luther King, Jr. called it “love in action.”

Gandhi called it “soul force.” This flick features appearances by Thich Naht Hanh and Julia Butterfly Hill, among others, in an attempt to capture that elusive yet worldchanging spirit. 90 min.

New This Week THE HANGOVER - R - Comedy - A bunch of dudes go to Vegas for a bachelor party and end up having to piece together what happened after they booze copiously. They’re already making a sequel to it. I’m not joking.

100 min.

LAND OF THE LOST - PG13 - Comedy Will Ferrell plays a scientist who gets sucked into a vortex that spits him out in a land ruled by dinosaurs. Unfortunately it’s the Jurassic (judging by the T-rex) and not the Cretacious, when dinosaurs where smaller. 93 min.

MY LIFE IN RUINS - PG13 - Comedy - The ‘Big Fat Greek’ franchise’s latest installment, this flick chronicles a woman who is trying to recapture her mojo by becoming a tour guide.

We’re an American band. Woo. 96 min.

VALENTINO: THE LAST EMPORER PG13 - Documentary - Apparently Valentino is a fashion designer, and this documentary chronicles him and the painfully shallow world within which he has managed to thrive. 96 min.

Now Showing 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 ‘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.

DANCE FLICK - PG13 - Art, Foreign - One of those Wayans Brothers “movie” attempts, and presumably an instant classic. It involves an interracial boy-girl dance duo. High on the lobotomized farm animal must-see list. 83 min.

BY KATE BRADSHAW CALENDAR@MAUITIME.COM

DRAG ME TO HELL - R - Horror - When a young, pretty, blonde loan officer evicts an old woman from her home, said loan officer becomes cursed, which turns out to be loads of fun. 99 min.

GHOSTS OF GIRLFRIENDS PAST - PG13 Comedy - 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 douchebaggery of his ways. 100 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. 95 min.

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

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM II - PG - Comedy - A Ben Stiller-induced security guard finds himself in yet another museum wherein a pharaoh’s curse makes stuff come to life at night. This time it’s the Smithsonian. It’s got Steve Coogan and Christopher Guest, among others, which is what confuses me. 105 min.

STAR TREK - PG13 - Sci-Fi - This babe-fest is a prequel to the series of events we all know and love from the original flicks, with a few time-jumping mind humps thrown in for good measure.

Plus: Simon Pegg - of ‘Shaun of the Dead’ fame plays Scotty. I would go full nerd for Simon Pegg.

126 min.

TERMINATOR: SALVATION - R - Action Hey, you know what cash cow action franchise hasn’t been revisited on the big screen in a while? Only this time it’s 2018. John Conner is all grown up and presumably dreamy. Humanity is on the brink of eradication. Conner leads the human resistance when a mysterious and presumably equally dream stranger shows up. Do the math. 115 min.

UP - PG - Animation - This Pixar flick chronicles the voyage of an old dude who, after tying a balloon or two to his house, is bound for South America, where he has dreamed of visiting all his life. 96 min.

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

THIS WEEK’S PICKS Exploring Eudora

East meets East

Friday (June 5), 7pm, Iao Theater, Wailuku

Friday (June 5), 7:30pm, Castle Theater, MACC Saturday (Jun. 6), 7pm, Napili Kai Resort

Adding to the First Friday festivities this month will be a staging of the David Penhallowpenned production Bonsai Darling. Columnist extraordinaire Paul Janes-Brown directs this chronicle of one Eudora Whitney. It’s set on Maui in 1934 and depicts the unraveling of Whitney’s world amid greed, family struggles and racial tension, all over the course of the holidays. Lauren Burgess, Ute Karolina Fitch and Dane Brown are among the cast, and Janes-Brown even makes an appearance. This will no doubt serve as a rare glimpse at life in an exponentially different time.

Since this Pick mentions First Friday, we feel compelled to reiterate that Maui Time will not be participating in this month’s festivities, not because we don’t think it’s a cool event but because apparently some other Market Street dwellers don’t dig what we do. Please though, don’t let that stop you from checking out this play.

Perhaps it’s just a matter of grass-is-greener, but I find the various aesthetics of the East—near, middle, far, you name it—absolutely dazzling. In comparison, stained glass mosaics aside, the visual and auditory elements of Western culture often seem extremely drab. Puritanical. Prude. (Burqas notwithstanding, mind you.) An Indian sari blows away even the most elaborate of Elizabethan getups. This weekend’s show blends the music, dance and aesthetics of India and Japan. Organizers say that Dhvani, the production’s title, refers to “an aesthetic concept of Indian poetry [that] denotes expression through the power of sound.” Odissi (an Indian dance form) choreographer Sarala Dandekar and Yosakoi (a form orginating in Japan) dancer—and Maui resident—Akari Ueoka are among those who collaborated on the visual aspect of this performance.

Tabla player Ty Burhoe and Steve Oda (on sarode, a stringed instrument employed in classical Indian music) provide the dramatic musical element. A YouTube montage of the performance (search Dhvani Maui) gives a good appetite-whetting taste. $28/$18 (Friday); $25 (Saturday).

Wu-Tang Clan is one of the most influential hip-hop groups ever. Among most their most notable works is the 1993 song “C.R.E.A.M.,” the title of which is the somewhat depressing acronym for Cash Rules Everything Around Me. The group wasn’t just a band of three or four dudes; it was a collective featuring nine phenomenal lyricists, among them Method Man, Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Raekwon. The latter, ambiguously nicknamed “the Chef” due to his ability to, um, cook, may have a slightly more obscure identity than the aforementioned, but he’s been writing and recording copiously over the past decade and a half, often collaborating with fellow Wu-Tanger Ghostface Killah.

Raekwon comes to Maui just ahead of this summer’s release of his latest, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2, the sequel to his highly acclaimed 1995 release Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. Dr. Dre is listed among the record’s producers, and Linx 2 features appearances by Method Man, Busta Rhymes and others. This show is a must for anyone remotely into smart, innovative hip-hop. Maui hip-hop veterans Amphibeus Tungs and DJ JP open.

According to a dream interpretation Web site, seeing an octopus in a dream indicates a personal sense of entanglement or cloudiness. On the other hand, it could also signify that the dreamer is being possessive in some waking life situation. Regardless of the meanings we subconsciously assign them, octopi are pretty damned cool animals. To me they represent versatility and strength. This is why it seems auspicious that Maui Thing Clothing Co. adopted the octopus for its logo. This Wednesday, the superhip local designer is teaming up with Tiki Lounge to raise funds for Kihei Youth Center. A portion of funds raised from the “Summer Dreams” cocktail will help the center purchase sports, art and educational supplies.

Every $5 you donate gets you entered into a drawing for sweet prizes. Plus: Erin Smith will rock out.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) So much of what happens to you is purely the result of your own expectations. If you decide that every Monday is stressful and crazy, then your experience of each and every Monday will be exactly that. While naturally there’s a basis for your opinion (perhaps there is more work to do on Mondays), if you go into work deciding that your previous experiences with harried Mondays will make this one no sweat, that’s almost certainly the way it’ll work out. Why complicate things by preloading them with frustration and annoyance? This week, make things easy on yourself. It’s really just a matter of belief.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Imagine your home was invaded by a particularly persistent pest (like the bedbug infestation sweeping America). Learning to just live with them is out of the question, naturally, but they’d still represent a kind of opportunity. I’m not suggesting you open up your very own flea circus and take it on tour, but having a compelling excuse to be out of the house for extended periods of time wouldn’t exactly be a bad thing right now. Run with it. Make the best of a bad situation, and you may discover it’s better than anything that could have happened otherwise.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) I love the sound of pouring rain; I never sleep better than during a torrential downpour. Weirdly, I despise actually going out in the rain; I think it’s the combination of being dry and warm while it’s coming down hard outside that inspires that brilliant sense of comfortable well being. This week is all about creating the conditions that will generate a similar sense of serenity and ease within yourself. Ironically, it can’t exist without a bit of unpleasantness; so when some comes your way, be glad. It could be the setup to a wonderful experience.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) You’re spoiled. We all are. We’re so used to certain luxuries and conveniences that we’re almost handicapped. Start stripping them away, and most of us would have terrible trouble adapting. While many could survive, if not thrive, in a mid-20th century environment, as you start dialing things back, fewer and fewer of us would make it. I’m worried that, as a species, we’ve become less robust and adaptable, instead of more; our ancestors were probably a lot more resourceful, creative, and flexible than we are. I’m also concerned that you may have mimicked this progression in your own personal evolution. This week, harken back to an earlier incarnation of yourself, just to see.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Until they invent realistic humanoid robots with working genitalia (at which point human-human romances will see an all-time low), we’re stuck dealing with the compromises inherent in other people. While you can certainly love someone deeply, there are almost always things you wish you could change about them. Since there’s no way to simply download and install some more appealing and compatible program (our own biological software is much harder to reprogram than the silicon variety in any case), you actually have to learn to live with it (or realize you simply can’t). What you’re doing is still searching for a new piece of code to install.

Accept that there is no such thing, and that the two options I mentioned are actually the only ones.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Those who embrace anarchy as a political model recognize the limitations of larger, more organized governmental structures, which have limited capacity to actually safeguard or nurture the well being of the individual citizens they govern, but must instead work constantly to preserve their own stability and longevity. These top-heavy organizations are bulky, inefficient, and expensive. Naturally anarchy wouldn’t work out on a national level (in order not to devolve into violent chaos, individuals must actually take responsibility for themselves), but it could work out well in a much more limited context, like the one you’re working with. Instead of mimicking hierarchical structures, see if you can embrace something more cooperative. It’s likely to work out better.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) What’s keeping you from what you want is, ironically, mostly nothing. Think of a chainlink fence; there’s more empty space than solid matter between one side and the other—those thin pieces of interlocked metal make all the difference. This particular fence is even less substantive. It’s not even a fence made of lasers—this barrier is composed entirely of inhibitions. You’ve rarely encountered this kind of thing before, so you don’t realize just how permeable such a wall actually is. What feels like a solid steel barricade is actually about as unbreakable as one composed of cardboard. Push through it, already.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Unfortunately, the shortsightedness of many people has already cost us countless animal species, lost to extinction. Those who believe we have a responsibility to make sure Earth’s other inhabitants survive humankind fight a mostly losing battle, because people are too lazy, cheap, selfish, or apathetic to help out. I’m certain that in the future—if we have a future—their efforts will be regarded as heroic and noble. It’s too bad that probably won’t happen until it’s too late. Or will it? When was the last time you did something heroic and noble? Next week, I want you to be able to say, “last week,” or, better yet, “last week and every day since.”

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Many long-term relationships are riddled with lies. The vast majority of partnerships apparently embrace a complex version of honesty. Astonishingly few seem to survive if both people insist on deliberately sharing the whole truth 100% of the time. There are truths we tell because it’s the “right” thing to do, and other truths we share for no other reason than because we’re selfish, or have some artificial notion that the truth is always better than a falsehood. Not so. While honesty is almost always the best policy, sometimes a half-truth, an omission of truth, or even an outright lie is the best thing to do in the big picture. That, I’m afraid, is very likely to be the case this week.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Here’s the trap: If you ask for what you want, you’ll get it, only it won’t be as good as it would have been had you gotten it without asking for it. So you end up not asking for it, and consequently not getting it, because the world isn’t as populated by psychics and good guessers as you thought. It’s a compelling trap I’ve seen you fall into repeatedly. By now you should have learned that although once in a blue moon your wish is sweetly and surprisingly granted without you ever having shared it out loud, that actually hardly ever happens. Because this wish is worth granting, make sure you tell it to someone with the power to make it come true.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Don’t do the stupid thing. It’s shocking how many mistakes you’ve made even though you knew they were mistakes, deep down in your gut, while you were making them. Not trusting your instincts (or talking yourself out of heeding them) is a terrible habit. This week, work on breaking yourself of it. It’s going to take more than one try to do that, because you’re not used to really listening to your gut, especially when it conflicts with your brain, your desires, or your illusions. However, with a bit of practice, you could get in synch with it again, I’m sure—and you’ll be surprised at how much better your life is then.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) I’m a big fan of the live-and-let-live philosophy. In general we spend far too much time bitchily judging others (usually to prop ourselves up), and not enough time pondering and implementing ways to make the world a better, happier place. Most of the time I would counsel you to simply let most things go, even if it’s difficult to do. This week, though, you have my permission to lay into someone, hard—because they richly deserve it. Tear them a new one. You’ll know it’s the right thing to do by how much better and happier the world is, afterwards.
