EDITOR’SINBOX MEAT OF THE MATTER Rob, your latest column was a beauty [Rob Report, June 4]. I have been a vegetarian for almost 40 years and have tried to avoid preaching or sounding high and mighty about it.

My daughter, also a vegetarian, bought a T-shirt that said, “Everyone hates a Vegetarian.” Just by being we induce guilt. But I too am starting to think it may be time to get a little noisy about it. The day is coming when it won’t be possible to call oneself an environmentalist and still eat meat. And living here makes eating fish seem like cannibalism—my brothers and sisters!

Anyway, your article spoke so beautifully and compassionately for all species. It was in-your-face, while having understanding. I want to thank you for putting yourself out there on a testy issue that needs a conscious voice.

PICTURE PERFECT I love the picture. It’s fine by me. I love meat and I eat it every day. I have hunted and killed and consumed meat. The head has to come off, and how that happens is not for the meek. The article is obviously slanted just like the rest of MTW. I would expect nothing less from a vegetarian mag and a vegetarian who wrote the article. I’m not bothered by vegans or vegetarians—they have made a choice that works for them.

Maybe you can do an article on a local business like Maui Cattle Co. now, for us meat-eaters.

Nope, this is exactly the rubbish rock that Maui deserves. Clearly there isn’t anyone here able to discern quality. I’d rather save all the money I would have spent attending any of the 808’s “rock” shows and spend it on a trip to South by Southwest instead to hear some real music.

This one goes out to the apparent Maui resident who called my tenant house about putting up “this kid” he was bringing from the Mainland to do some “marketing work” for him. Not only did “this kid” not have the ability to type in a Web site address five times even though I walked him through it letter by letter on the phone, but then the “kid” proceeded to call my voicemail 15 times in 5 days—no joke. Shame on you Mr. Maui Resident for bringing people to the island to work for you when there are people here already that need work. Oh and by the way, this “kid” was by his own words “a young 50.” And the product that he was gonna be marketing? Segways. Like everyone on this island has a discretionary five grand laying around.

Over a 10-week period this summer, nearly 200 young Saudi women are auditioning for a beauty pageant, but one called “Miss Beautiful Morals,” in which physical attractiveness is irrelevant, replaced by judging of the ladies’ observance of traditional Saudi values, especially the honoring of their mothers. Saudi Arabia does have pageants devoted to physical beauty, as reported previously in News of the Weird, but those are contests for camels and goats, based on such criteria as (according to one camel breeder) “big eyes, long lashes and a long neck.”

MORE TO LOVE According to a March dispatch in London’s Observer, activists in Mauritania have protested the new military government’s support for an African tribal tradition of forcibly fattening up adolescent girls to make them appear “healthier” for early marriage. In the custom of “leblouh,” the size of the female indicates “the size of her place in her man’s heart.”

CASHING OUT As Denver’s newsweekly Westword asked in a May 2009 story, “Where would you take a $100,000 check that is also a suicide note, to the cops or to the bank?” In July 2008, John Francis Beech, a retired executive in Denver, sent a check for $100,000 to a local charity, postdated to August 1, accompanied by a sealed envelope reading “wait until you hear from coroner” and “everything is OK.” The charity’s director, Annie Green, opened the envelope anyway on July 21, to find Beech’s Last Will and Testament, leaving his entire estate to Green’s organization for children with developmental disabilities.

Green’s choice: Put everything into the school’s safe and await August 1 (but she claimed to have left two voice-mail messages for Beech). On

BY CHUCK SHEPHERD CHUCK@MAUITIME.COM

July 29, based on longstanding plans, Beech committed suicide.

BAD DEFENSE Defense attorney John Garcia convinced a jury in Merced, Calif., in May that his client was not guilty of the “forcible rape with great bodily injury” of an 18-year-old woman in 2004, despite the fact that only his client’s DNA-identified semen was present, mixed with the victim’s blood, on the shorts she wore at the crime scene.

Client Daniel Saldana’s story was that he had previously had sex with his own girlfriend in the house where the rape occurred and that the girlfriend might have left her shorts on the floor and that the rape victim might have mistakenly put them on after the “other” man raped her.

WORSE DEFENSE Timothy Williams’ lawyer had a good defense worked out in Williams’ May murder trial in Pittsburgh: When Williams fatally shot the “other” man in the love triangle with Williams’ girlfriend, it was a “crime of passion,” said the lawyer, befitting manslaughter rather than first-degree murder. But Williams insisted on taking the stand, and by the time he was done, he had openly bragged that he was a “swinger” with many girlfriends, that this particular woman meant “nothing” to him, and that, though he killed the man, police had somehow “sabotaged” the surveillance video of the shooting. Verdict: first-degree murder.

FAMILY ISSUES (1) Charles Williams, 37, and his wife, Gretchen, 33, were arrested in Greenville, S.C., after a domestic dispute, culminating in a gunfight in which they shot each other. (2) Two fathers (Enrique Gonzalez, 26, in Fresno, Calif., in April and Eugene Ashley, 24, in Floyd County, Ga., in May) were charged with forcibly tattooing their young sons. Gonzalez allegedly held down his 7-year-old while a tattooist inked a gang symbol, and Ashley allegedly inked “DB” (for “Daddy’s Boy”) personally on his 3-year-old’s shoulder. MTW

Breaking the streak

An eco-centric sneak preview of the Maui Film Festival aui Film Festival maven Barry Rivers says he feels a bit like Shrek—a crazy movie monster who’s green enough to be an environmentalist.

Rivers is upbeat as the 10th annual Maui Film Festival at Wailea draws near. In a year that could be the most difficult to date for the ambitious cinematic undertaking, he took the opportunity to go with what works.

“Every year has been challenging in its own way,” says the ever-animated Rivers. “It turns out that without some of the big sponsorship we’ve had in the past, we’re now more independent than ever. We did more digging.

And I think we came up with our sharpest program ever.”

M

distributed and eventually discarded.

(You can find the festival e-book at mauifilmfestival.com/program.)

For those who have less green in their pockets, Rivers is determined to make the events easy and affordable. The Celestial Cinema venue, with blankets and folding chairs under the stars on the Wailea golf course lawn, is the “crown jewel” of the festival. This year’s Celestial Cinema has four triple-features and a double feature with HAPA also providing entertainment—each for $20.

Now, for everyone who ever wrote a high school book report after only reading the Cliff’s Notes, here are this year’s ecofilms that caught my eye (after reading reviews and watching trailers):

“There’s nothing magical about change,” the film proclaims. “It’s about getting up off your ass.”

“Every year we sort of ‘genre-size’ the program, if that’s a word,” Rivers says. “We do music, comedy, romantic and have some really great films that address the needs of the planet and humankind. Hopefully, we can enlighten a few people along the way.”

But what’s missing is drama. “This year,” Rivers smiles, “our overall theme is really from the heart. It’s like ‘Life….No Drama.’”

Presumably, that means little of the gratuitous violence and special effects that can be found in the current Hollywood offerings at Maui multiplexes—Drag Me to Hell, Terminator Salvation, Angels and Demons, Monsters vs. Aliens. Sounds like a lot of archetypal good vs. evil plots, assuming there are indeed plots to be found. ivers is as passionate about bringing people together as he is about movies. “We all succeed or fail together as a community,” he says. Thus, he’s taken some bold steps to “green” the festival this year.

He is offsetting the event’s power usage, thanks to a partnership with Rising Sun Solar. And, for the first time, he has gone to an e-book format for the festival program, saving 10,000 booklets from being printed,

dose of reality that’s refreshingly focused on solutions. Maui’s beloved Willie Nelson makes a cameo in this world premiere showing.

“There’s nothing magical about change,” the film proclaims. “It’s about getting up off your ass.”

Blue Gold: World Water Wars Lester Brown, founder of Worldwatch Institute and Earth Policy Institute, has long warned that access to clean, fresh water is the planet’s most vital environmental issue. The producers of The Corporation bring compelling awareness to the issues surrounding dwindling potable water sources, privatization, desertification and even the proliferation of plastic bottles.

International corporations, including Coca-Cola, Bechtel, Nestle and Perrier are seizing control of water resources on several continents, primarily for their own profit. Clouds are being stolen in China. The Bush family is buying river land in Paraguay.

Blue Gold also offers some solutions to the crisis of the expanding “water cartel,” and shares some success stories.

Bolivian peasants, fired upon by their own army for gathering rainwater, were able to drive Bechtel out.

The issues should have special relevance here on Maui, where corporate plantation agriculture maintains control over public trust water resources.

On the heels of Maui Tomorrow’s recent free screening of The Waterfront on Earth Day, Blue Gold is likely to educate and motivate.

“The political will to change [this unjust system] is not going to come from the top,” says one of the movie’s interviewees.

“It’s going to come from the bottom up.”

One hundred eighty-two days.

Four thousand, three hundred, sixty-eight hours. Two hundred sixty-two thousand, eighty minutes. Fifteen million, seven hundred twenty-four thousand, eight hundred seconds. That’s how much time elapsed between the December 4, 2008 meeting of the LC’s Adjudication Board and the most recent meeting, held June 4.

Why are we telling you this?

Well, at the December ’08 meeting, the final get-together of the year, two establishments— Lahaina Store Grille and Zack’s Deli in Kihei—came before the board on charges of selling to already intoxicated individuals.

The cases themselves weren’t particularly noteworthy, except in hindsight. Because for the next six months, the Adjudication Board wouldn’t consider another case involving anything other than a minor decoy sting operation. None. Zero. Zilch. (As a harbinger of this trend, the December 4 meeting also had three minor decoy busts on the docket, including one at Zack’s Deli.)

That means without the minor decoy program, the Maui County Department of Liquor Control’s punitive arm would have been idle from Christmas to Memorial Day and beyond.

That’s a long vacation.

Cash Crop In Maui’s not-so-distant past, marijuana rivaled or surpassed sugar cane as Maui’s number one cash crop, and contributed a significant boost to the local economy. see SCREENINGS, page 8

Fittingly, the case that finally broke this DiMaggio-esque streak was not typical. Many board members seemed surprised by it, and some were a tad perturbed. It required several points of clarification from Director Frank Silva, while Chairman Donald Fujii called it “unusual.”

Tune in next week for details.

GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?

SCREENINGS, con’t from page 7 This was before federally funded helicopter eradication funds became available for Project Greenharvest, during the George H.W. Bush, “Just Say No” era.

“Cash Crop” examines regions where marijuana is grown in abundance, legally and illegally, as part of an estimated $35 billion dollar business. It focuses especially on Northern California, where the lumber industry is facing diminishing returns and residents say that medical marijuana laws have made it possible for local economies to survive.

While many are calling for a new, “green” economy, some may get squeamish when the thought of growing marijuana is included in the discussion. But one Mendecino County sheriff is tired of spending so much time enforcing existing laws. “Let’s move on,” he says. “The fact of the matter is, Americans like their marijuana.”

The two-minute movie trailer for Dirt bowled me over—total chicken skin. The juxtaposition of devastation (industrial agriculture and its worldwide impact) and inspiration (soil’s life-giving properties and its intricate, complex network of organisms) is powerful, to say the least.

the film proclaims. “All other measurements of wealth are illusions.”

Houston, We Have a Problem We’ve all seen movies (think Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth) that bombard us with the severity of big problems but don’t offer enough tangible solutions. Houston, We Have a Problem seeks not just to demonize our dependence on oil, but to humanize the issue as well.

It examines past political decisions that have ultimately made us more petroleumdependent. “We need to tear the oil industry out of yesterday,” says the Sierra Club’s Carl Pope, “and get them thinking about tomorrow.”

The film explores a potpourri of energy alternatives. While acknowledging that no single technology will replace cheap oil, it makes the case that a variety of different solutions could serve as “a box of silver bullets.” (No, I don’t think they mean a case of Coors, though the problem is daunting enough to drive one to drink.)

The Cove Led by a dolphin-training authority who worked on the television program Flipper back in the 1960s, a covert group of activists, divers and filmmakers travels to a hidden cove in Japan. There, with action/adventure-paced excitement, a deadly secret is uncovered. And that’s merely the tip of the iceberg.

Tabbed an “eco-thriller” by Huffington Post, The Cove was also an Audience Award-winner at the Sundance Film Festival. Producer/director and part-time Maui resident Richard Donner (Superman, Lethal Weapon, et al) says the film “is a call to action that has the power to save dolphins, oceans and ourselves.”

Meanwhile, The Dolphin Project is an 8-minute short that examines these highly social and intelligent creatures. It screens as one of six films in the Explore Shorts Showcase, which also includes Rwanda Gorilla Special, and Artic: Change at the Top of the World.

And the film zooms in on people who are passionate about dirt, people who have founded entire movements: physicist Vandana Shiva; Berkeley’s Alice Waters of the edible schoolyard movement; Kenyan Wangari Maathai of the green belt movement; Andy Lipkis, founder of Tree People; and Carlo Petrini, who founded the slow food movement.

Like water, the ubiquitous nature of dirt has led us to take it for granted and to not adequately nurture and protect our soil. “We survive on the fertile power of fresh water and dirt,”

This documentary challenges Americans to look at their largely unconscious consumption of processed foods.

Steeped in opinions from medical professionals, it reminds us that we’re much more accustomed to treating disease than promoting health.

The film also asks relevant questions (why not have subsidies for fruits and vegetables instead of rewarding those who produce crops that wind up as processed foods?). Like a good bop on the head (“I could have had a V-8!”), Processed People reminds us of things we might have known already, but tend to forget. MTW For more info visit mauifilmfestival.com

most likely. NOTE: While searching for more info on this issue, I found my way to Hawaii government/media watchdog Doug White’s blog (poinography.com). In an entry posted yesterday, he addressed the Deputy AG’s divergent opinions, and did a good job of concisely elucidating what seems to be a deft bit of political trickery.

He also provides a link to a Hawaii House Blog post where you can read both opinions for yourself.

THE WEEK IN REVIEW FRIDAY, JUNE 5

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3 Let the legal parsing begin. After ordering work furloughs for all state employees—which will amount to a 14 percent across-the-board pay cut— Gov. Lingle is arguing she had the right to do so under a law concerning emergencies. But, you see, she’s not really calling this an emergency, except in the “informal sense,” according to an AP report. Lingle is quoted as saying she has “implied authority” to order the furloughs without approval from the legislature.

As House and Senate leaders and union lawyers come charging, that’s a pretty weak reed.

THURSDAY, JUNE 4 On the same subject: An interesting wrinkle in this unfolding drama is buried near the end of that same AP report: “In February, Deputy Attorney General James Halvorson wrote House Speaker Calvin Say that Lingle has ‘unclear’…authority to furlough workers…But in a second letter to Say last week, Halvorson [wrote] that [f]urloughs ‘are not subject to any type of mandatory negotiation.’” There are three possibilities here: 1) Halvorson genuinely believed both opinions at the time he wrote them and changed his tune because of new, independently obtained information or interpretation; 2) Halvorson genuinely believed the first opinion but was influenced by, ahem, someone when he issued the second opinion; or 3) both opinions were written with an ulterior motive to serve, cough, a specific interest. I’ll leave it to the discerning reader to choose which scenario they think is

We didn’t endorse Mike Molina or Mike Victorino in the last election and have taken swings at both, but that doesn’t mean we can’t give credit where it’s due: kudos to the councilmen for introducing bills that, if passed, would ban plastic bags and Styrofoam takeout containers in Maui County beginning in 2011. The arguments against the bills will be eyerollingly familiar to anyone who’s followed similar efforts elsewhere. They mostly center on the notion that it’s an undue financial burden on restaurants. In anticipation of that objection, Victorino’s bill—the Styrofoam ban—offers an exemption to companies that can’t afford to make the switch (and can prove it). Really though, this is about more than money. Our landfill is close to overflowing—officials estimate it’ll be stuffed to capacity in less than two decades if we keep throwing things away at the current rate. Maui stands at a crossroads: we can be a microcosm of sustainability and innovation, or we can be the canary in the coalmine.

SATURDAY, JUNE 6 In honor of the soldiers who bled and died on that beachhead in France 65 years ago: “It is my earnest hope—indeed the hope of all mankind—that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past…a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish for freedom, tolerance and justice.” - Gen. Douglas MacArthur

SUNDAY, JUNE 7 Whether the arrival of a Target store on Maui would be an economic boon or another nail in the coffin depends on your vision of the island’s future. With people out of work and the economy on life support, the issue gets even more muddled. “Muddled” is exactly the word to describe the big box ban that’s still under consideration by the county council some two years after it was introduced. The bill was recently kicked back to the Planning Committee, which just four months ago unanimously voted to send it to the council. (Dizzy yet?) WalMart, Costco and other retail behemoths are of course fighting the bill—which would put a cap on the square-footage of new stores built in the county—and two dozen people who may or may not have been

Want one of these, Maui? influenced by those companies voiced opposition at a recent council meeting, which also featured an appearance by a Target representative. This is something that warrants further coverage and examination as it develops, but for now visit sprawl-busters.com for a crash course on the anti-superstore argument.

In a weird way, it’s almost comforting.

MONDAY, JUNE 8 For obvious reasons, there’s been a lot of discussion around the office about how (and how much) the Internet is changing the newspaper business. The biggest shift, we all agree, is in the way readers consume news, and more specifically how they expect it to be delivered. It’s a conversation that’s happening in newsrooms of all sizes from Maui to Manhattan to Mumbai as print journalism wrestles with a troubling paradox: revenue is declining (recession or no) even as readership is at an all-time high. Anyway, if you care about this stuff at all I’m sure I haven’t told you anything you didn’t already know, and if you don’t care about this stuff, well, what are you doing using a newspaper for something other than a birdcage liner? The reason I mention it is to set up an interesting tidbit from the May/June issue of Columbia Journalism Review, which is an underap-

preciated publication. The issue features a story, titled “Identity Crisis,” about the changes that have taken place at The Wall Street Journal since Rupert Murdoch’s too-evil-sounding-to-be-true News Corp. took over. The story quotes a number of current and former Journal reporters, most of whom understandably chose to remain anonymous, who say the paper has shifted away from long-form investigative pieces that offer context and analysis and placed a stifling emphasis on shorter, more nuts and bolts breaking news. The most interesting quote came from editor Robert Thomson, a Murdoch man, who defends this approach by saying the Internet has instilled in readers “a ruthless functionality.” While I disagree with the conclusion that newspapers should slavishly cater to this tendency by providing only easily digestible bites that deemphasize nuance and shun the slow windup or informative digression—there’s got to be a way to do both—I think Thomson’s three-word description of the average 21st century media consumer is spot-on.

t’s been more than 200 years since Haleakala last erupted. Today, its majestic slopes stand as a silent monument to the bursts of molten fire that gave shape to the Valley Isle. Yet while the volcano lies dormant, the controversy swirling around it is anything but.

A towering example of Maui’s singular natural beauty, a magnet for tourists and a prime location for scientific study, Haleakala, the “house of the sun,” is also an important part of Native Hawaiian culture, a focal point of worship and reverence. Because of those competing interests, tension is always roiling just beneath the surface.

For the past several years that tension has been exacerbated by a large solar telescope that the National Science Foundation (NSF) wants to build near the volcano’s summit. As a decision on the telescope nears, the forces for and against the project are making their final arguments. It’s a battle that involves advocates from the environmental, scientific, business and Native Hawaiian communities. And as with all such fights, it’s more complicated than it appears.

So far, NSF officials say they’ve spent about $23 million on design and planning.

But, they insist, that doesn’t mean the telescope is a foregone conclusion.

S

tan Truitt, who identified himself as an amateur astronomer, said he supports the project’s “construction, operation—and eventual removal.”

Truitt said one day, the ATST’s technology will be obsolete and that we’ll have learned what we can from it. “[The telescope should] eventually go away, just as all things that man makes eventually go away, including the pyramids,” he said.

For now, Truitt said, the ATST would be a significant boon to the island. “This is a good thing for mankind and a good thing for Maui,” he said. “I so often hear

he proposed 143-foot-tall Advanced Solar Technology Telescope (ATST), which would measure solar magnetic fields with cutting-edge precision, has been in the works for the better part of a decade. It has hit numerous stumbling blocks, and met with opposition from various organizations and agencies including, at one point, the Haleakala National Park Service. With the release of a new draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), the project is entering what looks to be the home stretch. Written public comments are being accepted through June 22, and a decision by NSF Director Arden Bement is expected by year’s end.

So far, NSF officials say they’ve spent about $23 million on design and planning. But, they insist, that doesn’t mean the telescope is a foregone conclusion.

“If constructed, this would be the world’s flagship [solar observation] facility,” said program manager Craig Foltz at a recent meeting at the Cameron Center, one of the final opportunities for citizens to speak publicly on the matter. However, Foltz quickly added, nothing has been decided yet.

Flotz also emphasized that NSF, which is a taxpayer-funded agency, only approves projects after extensive deliberation. “We don’t sit around and say, ‘Hey, wouldn’t it be great for us to build this big telescope and put it on top of Haleakala?’ That’s not the way it works,” he said. “We are a reactive agency that responds to the members of the scientific community.”

The assurances of Foltz and the handful of other government representatives in attendance did little to assuage the anger or allay the concerns of the anti-ATST

contingency. Of the 14 people who spoke or had statements read at the Cameron Center meeting, eight expressed opposition to the telescope and five voiced support. Of those who opposed the project, all but one did so based largely on cultural concerns. Although, as one speaker put it, those concerns are also environmental because the land, the ‘aina, is held as sacred.

One refrain that was voiced repeatedly at the meeting, and that has been part of this debate from the beginning, is the idea, supported by evidence, that ancient Hawaiians were early astronomers who used the stars for navigation and to understand the world around them. A woman who said she was speaking “for those who have passed” didn’t dispute that notion, but said her ancestors “knew when to stop looking up at the sky that was falling and do something about it.”

“I’m not against science.

Like my kupuna I believe that science is a valuable and important part of our existence,” said Native Hawaiian advocate Foster Ampong, who, like several others, used up his three minutes of allotted time and waited for a second turn to speak. However, Ampong added, the ATST project is “not sustainable.”

colleagues and neighbors talking about their students, the best and brightest students, that [get] an education elsewhere and then cannot come back to Maui to [share] their knowledge.”

Also on hand were representatives from the construction and hotel industries, who touted the economic benefits of the project. “This won’t put everyone back to work, but it’ll help,” said Ivan Lay of the Maui Carpenters Union.

Ampong compared those arguments to “what the plantations have told the people for the past hundred years.” Clare Apana added that the presence of the union and hotel workers showed that the project “can’t stand on its own merit.”

Many speakers used the ATST as a jumping off point to address larger, more deep-seated grievances. Topics raised included ceded Native Hawaiian lands, the viability of tourism and the U.S. Constitution. At one point, someone seated in the back row muttered, “What does any of this have to do with a telescope?”

A 15-year-old student from Kamehameha Schools who said he was “speaking on behalf of future generations” questioned whether the telescope would have any lasting benefit for Hawaiians.

“We can look at the sun all we want,” he said, “but what happens when the earth we stand on crumbles away?”

Not everyone who spoke against the project focused solely on cultural concerns. Richard Lucas of Haiku lambasted the “lack of transparency” in the draft EIS, which he said omits information about alternative sites such as Big Bear Lake in California. He said the money already spent on development, as well as the $146 million in federal stimulus funds earmarked for the project, is putting pressure on officials to move it forward.

Lucas said Haleakala is “in the process of healing itself” and compared building the ATST on the mountain’s slopes to “tearing off a scab.”

those sympathetic to their cause, it’s about honoring tradition, upholding a sacred kuliana and preserving what’s left of an island that has endured dramatic, perhaps irreversible, change. For those who support the telescope, it’s about studying the sun—that massive, burning ball of gas at the center of our solar system—and unlocking mysteries related to global communications, weather patterns and the future of life on Earth.

What this clash of deeply held values means is that compromise may not be possible. If Haleakala is your church, no further construction, no matter how unobtrusive or conscientious, is acceptable. (As several speakers put it “you can’t mitigate spirituality.”) At the same time, though NSF officials and the scientific community have made conciliatory overtures, in the end they chose this site with full awareness of its importance to Native Hawaiians.

Of course, whether or not the ASTST is constructed, this fight won’t end; there will be other battlegrounds, other projects. The tug-of-war between preservation and progress will go on. And the fragile, uncertain future of Maui—and all of Hawaii—will hang, as ever, in the balance. MTW

Son’z shines An expansive wine list, local ingredients and meatless options make for resort dining that’s a cut above t looks like the kind of place F. Scott Fitzgerald would have taken Zelda had they elected to vacation at Kaanapali instead of the Don Cesar. It’s got an art deco-tropical aesthetic that my editor calls “gecko-deco,” a clean look with jungle accents. But Son’z at Swan Court,

I

Son’z at Swan Court Hyatt Regency, 200 Nohea Kai Dr., Kaanapali 667-4506 waterfall, diving swans and all, is far beyond the standard swank surf-andturf resort dinner destination.

It was surprising, frankly, that the majority of those dining at this openair spot on a recent evening appeared to be visitors. If that’s average, Mauians are missing out.

Affordability is always an issue at places like this, but the folks at Son’z have just unveiled a killer sunset dining deal: a three-course meal, including Cesar salad, choice of ono, island catch or Pappardelle Veneziana and homemade raspberry pie—for $19.95. Not bad.

Born in the Philippines and raised in the Hawaiian Isles, Executive Chef Geno Sarmiento has creative license for the menu at Son’z, which belongs to the same restaurant family Sarento’s and Nick’s Fishmarket. The result is colorful and intoxicatingly tasty fare.

Case in point: when the staunchest of carnivores raves about a place’s gazpacho, you know you’re onto something. The chilled, herbed Olowalu tomato, roasted red bell and apple soup is served with mango relish and topped with cucumber sorbet. If that wasn’t a perfect starter for a warm evening, the bubbly that wine and beverages director Ara Gurunian recommends with it, Charles De Fere Jean-Louis, brings it over the top.

I must note the wine list (which is more of an arsenal). Gurunian says theirs is one of the biggest wine cellars in the state.

They’ve received the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence every year since the restaurant’s 2005 inception.

When pairing wines with a multiplecourse meal, Gurunian does the unthinkable: he goes out of order, jumping from chardonnay to merlot to Riesling without batting an eye if it suits a dish. Life is too short, he says, to follow the rules.

He pours Cono Sur, a Chilean pinot noir, with the vegan phyllo purse, phyllo dough wrapped around roasted vegetables. (Gurunian and Sarmiento emphasize that although you won’t see any vegan items on the menu, they’re happy to prepare vegetarian or vegan dishes if asked.)

Photos: (above) Executive Chef Geno Sarmiento and apple berry tart; (left) vegan phyllo purse, tiger-eye sushi and sweet tiger shrimp.

It’s topped with garlic and pine nut-tinged Romesco sauce and teeming with a rich, smoky flavor. As for my carnivore counterparts, a piece of tiger-eye sushi (with yellowfin tuna, asparagus and light tempura) sits on one side of the plate, joined on the other by sweet tiger shrimp on olive bread topped with creamy tomato sauce.

The salads on the menu are beyond what one usually expects, with components like roasted caper vinaigrette, hearts of palm, Asian pear and Kula corn.

“Our main focus is using local ingredients,” Sarmiento says.

Main course options include Hawaiian opakapaka picatta with sweet potato hash, caperberries and “overnight” tomato puree (which, as the name suggests, roasts overnight), and the grilled rack of lamb with kabocha gnocchi, blanched garlic puree, baby artichokes and mint pesto.

For vegans, there’s steamed tofu topped with pineapple ginger sauce served room temp over soba noodles, finished off with sizzling Szechwan oil (a dish that Gurunian says “screams for Risling”).

Another option is the hearty grilled mushroom plate: portabella, shimeji, oyster and alii mushrooms, all grown on the Big Island’s Hamakua Coast, served over truffled mashed potatoes.

Those who prefer liquid dessert should note the drink list. While he says most people order mai-tais, bartender Eric Thomas shakes up a mean mango martini.

Or try the key-lime martini, with its graham cracker crumb-lined rim.

A few of these delightful concoctions are an excellent way to wind down the evening in style, as the waterfall babbles in the background of this sparkling—and very hidden—gem. MTW

For years, I’d salivated over the delicious fake fowl in the Down to Earth deli, but now, I thought, I could bid the health food store a fond farewell. Of course, a few days later I was back in the deli grabbing my fix of mock chicken. It turns out I’m not as at home in the kitchen as I thought. (In addition to mock chicken, Down to Earth’s deli serves vegetarian dishes like lasagna, enchiladas and a mean apple crisp.) 305 Dairy Rd., Kahului, 877-2661.

Not surprisingly, his resume contains some of Maui’s more innovative acts: The Eazy, Byron Brown and the Derelicts, Guerrilla Jazz.

His latest project, a reggae-rock trio dubbed Rock Fever Remedy, is taking Maui venues by storm despite having formed barely four months ago. With regular gigs at Moose’s Lahaina, a few upcoming Oahu shows and a slot in this weekend’s Sheepdawg Festival, RFR seems to know how to get the word out.

“This guy lights a fire under our asses,” says guitarist and vocalist Noah Broe of Bowersox, who writes a sizable chunk of the band’s material (the tunes posted on RFR’s MySpace page are his compositions).

Broe is a recent transplant from the northern reaches of the Tampa Bay Area, which has a relative wealth of venues for singer/songwriters. I lived there at one point; we apparently both frequented spots like the Blueberry Patch,

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Skipper’s Smokehouse and Dunedin Brewery, but our paths never really crossed. We get a tad nostalgic going down the list of people and locales that made the place so damned—contrary to popular belief—cool.

Fresh from a stint with the band Harmony Bus, Broe landed on Maui in early February 2009, looking for a little inspiration. I met him at Baldwin Beach.

Mojomana’s Melissa M. and I were swapping tunes when he walked up to us, his guitar in tow. Nice kid, I thought.

Months go by and he seems to have a good thing going.

Bass player (though they do switch it up) Alan Jacob hails from Austin, Texas and came to Maui by way of Lanai.

Bowersox’s Derelicts bandmate and a singer/songwriter by trade, his style gels with Broe’s quite well. Both have a heavy Sublime influence.

“I was one of those Sublime-changedmy-life kids,” Broe says. Jacob concurs.

It is here that I must make a confession: I wouldn’t touch 40 Oz. to Freedom with a ten-foot pole. (A sentiment in which I’m essentially alone; the guys say crowds go nuts whenever they break out a Sublime cover.)

Yet while they embrace similar chord progressions and song structures, RFR is not out solely to replicate Sublime. You can sense actual musicianship in each tune’s instrumental tracks. Bowersox’s brutally good drum solos add to the sense that these gentlemen mean business.

Broe has a knack for being a vocalist, and constructs melodies that show off his naturally good voice—melodies that in general follow easy, catchy arcs loaded with mainstream appeal. He occasionally lapses into spoken word, and even has a

few tunes whose sole vocal component is essentially a rap.

Broe and Jacob are lyrically divergent.

Broe tends to focus on politics, consciousness and existential questions (the latter in the same vein as “What I Got”).

There is an overwhelming sense of optimism in Broe’s lyrics, which lends itself to an almost, at times, naïve degree of idealism. Jacob says he writes primarily about relationships. (The guy is a heartthrob, but his demeanor is too humble to warrant player status.)

How’d the band got together?

Craigslist. Upon arrival, Broe posted an ad calling for other musicians with a link to Broe’s solo MySpace music page (myspace.com/noahbroe).

Bowersox decided to check it out. “I pressed play and was like, oh, I like this,” he says.

The three engaged in an impromptu jam session at a Byron Brown and the Derelicts gig and decided to give it a go.

They share a common drive, which their high volume of shows—on- and offisland—makes apparent.

At Sheepdawg, they’ll share the stage with the girls from Kit Kat Club cabaret, who’ve choreographed a number to RFR’s “Walking After Midnight” (Patsy Cline)/“Folsom Prison Blues” (The Everlast version).

There are few better-fitting venues than a multi-day music festival for a band whose core philosophy can be summed up by the following phrase, which Broe is fond of saying: “Let the music get you rockin’ while you still got your soul.” MTW Kate Bradshaw is also available in Twitter form.

Good remakes [song] “I Heard it Through the Grapevine” The Slits Nothing against Creedence, but this ’70s girl punk group’s cover of the seminal Motown ditty is the most interesting to date. It lends “Grapevine” a degree of sass that transforms it from a song of pining codependence to one of scoffing indifference.

On the whole, these broads generated a body of work that broke down barriers of all kinds and never fit squarely into the punk rock genre. Considering the thick irreverence and highly un-self conscious tone The Slits employed, they probably couldn’t have cared less. They were among the first girl bands to intelligently rebel against things like sexism (the name says it all), capitalism (“Shoplifting”) and conformity (“Typical Girls”). But while their music serves as a reminder that being female doesn’t limit our potential or right to fly in the face of convention, even the most macho Joni-phobe can feel comfortable taking these chicks for a spin.

I’ve debated with many on the question of zombies vs. vampires and, as a fan of zombies, I have to say that vampires are shallow and take themselves too seriously. Zombies, on the other hand, are a blatant vehicle for social commentary. Plus, once you get past the brutality, they can be quite funny. Enhancing a Jane Austen classic about marriage and class in polite English society with legions of undead brainmunchers is nothing if not creative. Turn lovable protagonist Elizabeth Bennett and proud antagonist Mr. Darcy into lethal assassins and you have a novel that is nothing if not over the top. The book is practically worth picking up by virtue of the first sentence alone (especially if you’ve read the original version): “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.”

NEW LOCAL FISH MENU

Bob Odenkirk & David Cross, ‘Mr. Show’ OK, so how do I discuss this without giving too much away? Basically, an ultra-conservative Dixiecrat senator played by Bob Odenkirk wants to cut all art funding, and compares the arts to the cow-milking machine that’s behind the third hole in the barn wall that serves as the original joke’s punchline. In fact, the only art project of which he approves is a musical adaptation of said joke.

David Cross plays the traveling salesman. Jack Black is the farmer. Odenkirk is cast as the hated milk machine. The production chronicles the struggles the salesman experiences when tempted to do exactly what the farmer tells him not to do.

Only Mr. Show can pull off something of this comic scale. Anyway, check it out on DVD (season one, episode two) and see for yourself. MTW

Off the rails Heavy-handed remake confuses louder with better hether it’s movies or songs, the way to take something old and make it new is to keep what worked the first time and add personal, relevant touches that both a new audience and the original artists would appreciate. My problem with director Tony Scott’s remake of

W

The Taking of Pelham 123

★★★ ★★★ Rated R/121 min.

The Taking of Pelham 123 is that he tries very hard to make the story something it isn’t and almost derails this subway hostage thriller.

As in the original, a meek New York City subway control worker (Denzel Washington) has the worst day of his

life when he finds the train of the title seized by a trigger-happy terrorist (John Travolta) who wants his demands met or he and his crew will terminate every passenger aboard.

The original film, which starred Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw, was a suspenseful cat and mouse game between criminal and everyman, with a killer final scene. The remake is faithful until the third act, which borrows heavily from Speed and eliminates the tension and claustrophobic setting by constantly cutting outside of the subway to scenes of smashing cars that play like Fast & Furious outtakes.

Scott directed Top Gun and True Romance and knows how to make a great action movie, but his style over the past few years has become like Michael Bay on Redbull, with aggressively shaky camera work, strobe light editing, color filters and random blasts of the soundtrack that scream, “in your face, moviegoer!” You won’t be bored, but his overdone approach is distracting and irritating.

The performances are what keep the movie together, starting with

Only Denzel could climb out of this hole.

Washington’s masterful underplaying, countered perfectly by Travolta’s livewire, flamboyant performance. Their give-andtake scenes are so riveting, you may forget that their characters are almost never in the same place together and are talking to one another through speakerphones.

Washington can play cool and driven, but it’s enjoyable to watch him play someone so vulnerable, while Travolta is, again, a terrific villain. James Gandolfini gives an enjoyable performance as the flustered but camera-ready Mayor, but John Turturro, playing a compassionate, nononsense cop, almost steals the movie; he

and Washington are frequent collaborators in Spike Lee films and all of the Denzel/Turturro scenes really crackle.

The screenplay succeeds when it sticks to the basics but stumbles when the action moves out of the initial setting, piles on needless, silly uses of profanity and dumbeddown storytelling (just in case you missed it, someone actually asks what Pelham 123 is).

Scott’s determination to make every audience member cross-eyed and deaf eclipses how good he is with actors. Stick with the milder but far better original. It may lack Denzel and Travolta, but you won’t be reaching for the Advil when it’s over. MTW

TAKING OF PELHAM 123 - R - Thriller - A remake of a 1974 film involving a group of terrorists who take over a subway train.

Passengers get taken hostage and are likely subjected to suspense-filled situations. 106 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 involves uncovering some trippy cryptoconspiracy 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 mustsee list. 83 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-traveling mind humps thrown in for good measure.

Plus: Simon Pegg (of ‘Shaun of the Dead’ fame) plays Scotty. Oh, I would so 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.

THIS WEEK’S PICKS Happy King K. Day!

Sheer fun

Thursday, June 11

Saturday & Sunday (June 13 & 14), all day, Camp Keanae

To say King Kamehameha Day is a major Hawaiian holiday is like saying chocolate is a major ice cream flavor—true, but a gross understatement. First observed more than 130 years ago after a decree by the king’s grandson, Kamehameha V, the day has long been a chance to honor a revered monarch, dance, attend parades, eat, drink and, yes, take the day off. Though Maui no longer has any major, centralized celebrations, it’s a fine excuse to get together with family and friends and do whatever it is you love to do, while pausing to remember a highly influential historical figure deemed worthy of the title “Great.” [JS]

Hungry freaks, Daddy Saturday (June 13), 5 & 7:30pm, Castle Theater, MACC Hippies. While I believe that we’re all duty bound to pull our own weight, and believe one can both have a job and challenge obsolete and arbitrary social institutions, I give credit to those few hippies who can actually articulate their rationale for “dropping out.”

(Especially when so many of them drop back in eventually.) Anyhow, “hippie” is just another marketing tool and has been for decades. Taylor Camp, the film directed by Robert Stone that’s screening at the MACC this weekend, documents a hippie wave that washed through Kauai’s north shore from 1969-’77. It all started when Howard Taylor (brother of Elizabeth) bailed out 13 hippies who had been arrested for vagrancy and let them crash on some of his land in Ha‘ena. Word spread and soon surfers, traumatized Vietnam vets and others made the pilgrimage. The scene became clothing optional and grass-conducive. You can guess what happened next. (Hint: it involved the government and a few torches.) I guess the squares wanted to make an example of those who dared to question the great mistake.

Speaking of hippies, the same era that spawned them also churned out some of the best music this planet has ever seen (I’m in my 20s and listening to the Velvet Underground on a Zappa Pandora station as I type.) While Woodstock has been co-opted beyond recognition, multi-day music fests are alive and well. This weekend’s Sheep Dawg Festival is a case-in-point. This Ricochet Productions event combines art community-mindedness and a killer musical lineup to make for a most delightful weekend.

Slated performers include, among others, The Itals, Lukas Nelson & the Promise of the Real (Nelson is pictured), Ooklah the Moc, the Goddess Alchemy Project, Jamallad & the Global Citizens and P.O.R.T.A.L.

Bad acid

Saturday (June 13), 10pm, Timba, 505 Front St., Lahaina

Sunday (June 14), all day, Maui Ocean Center, Maalaea

It was one of those rare occasions when I found myself on the West side on a Friday evening (logistics, namely distance, are often prohibitive). I was checking out Kit Kat Club at a Front Street drinkery when I was introduced to a man who was in the process of opening up a new nightclub, and looked quite young to be doing so. The bureaucratic processes he described seemed daunting at best, prohibitive at worst. Months later, here we are, and Timba—the new club—is open. It’s a different type of place, I’m told; more on the dressed-to-the-Ts, martini side than that of slippers and Heinekens (though there is no dress code). Saturday night will serve as Timba’s grand opening celebration, and a most stylin’ occasion it is expected to be. DJ Del Sol will be spinning tunes and Rikah of Capp Records will provide live vocals. A number of local companies will provide door prizes, including UFO Parasail and Makena Surfwear. I noticed a few intriguing concoctions on the drink menu, which is featured on the bar’s Web site (timbamaui.com). Call to RSVP, as attendance is limited. $10.

DAY

Of all the great modern environmental catastrophes, global warming is probably the biggest limelight hog. But there is another, possibly scarier hazard believed to accompany excessive CO2 emissions: ocean acidification. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, among other entities, acknowledges this ugly phenomenon. Ocean acidification is believed to occur as a result of the ocean’s absorption of CO2, which lowers the water’s pH (making it more acidic). The pteropod, pictured, is an integral part of the food chain that’s believed to be affected. Acidic water makes it extremely difficult for calcifying organisms—ones that make their shells—to, well, make their shells. Given the importance of coral and other creatures that calcify, a chemically altered marine environment could spell disaster. This is why, if you are remotely concerned, you ought to check out Maui Ocean Center’s screening of Sea Change: Imagine A World Without Fish. It follows retired educator Sven Hussaby to research sites throughout Norway, Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, and incorporates the cultural and economic aspects of this potentially catastrophic phenomenon. Call for show times. It will also screen Tuesday, June 23 as part of MOC’s Sea Talk series.

SIGNLANGUAGE

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) A friend of mine recently described someone we know as “a killjoy.” I hadn’t thought about it that way, but I had to admit that the label fit perfectly. Now, no one sets out to make everyone around them miserable. But some people get so caught up in their negative take on the world that they habitually burst balloons and otherwise poke holes in other people’s fun. Try to see what a crap place that is, and instead of resenting people who are stuck there, do your part in trying to help them get somewhere else. Usually, that’d be fairly futile, but this week you could actually succeed.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) A flyswatter, for all the violence of its use, is still less cruel than flypaper. At least it’s over in a flash; an insect stuck to a sticky strip of paper must instead wait to slowly starve to death. If you feel inclined to kill something this week—be it pesky insect, relationship, or idea—do it quickly. Even if it’s harder for you, it’s still the right thing to do. Killing or tearing something down isn’t supposed to be easy, after all.

Do the kind thing and spare them, not yourself. Anything less is just cruel and unusual—they deserve better from you.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Unlike my poor dog, there’s no reason you need to go outside in the hot sun while wearing a fur coat.

Fishing for sympathy in such a scenario is not going to work out that well for you; I don’t recommend it.

Since your suffering is almost entirely self-inflicted, and laughably easy to prevent or relieve, I suggest you do that at once, or risk the consequences: being made the object of scorn, ridicule, and contempt, not compassion or empathy. Make things a bit easier on yourself, because no one else will. Take off the damn mink, slather on some sunscreen, and just enjoy the day, already.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Children and animals behave differently in different contexts—occasionally so much so that they’re nearly unrecognizable. The angel at home becomes a hellion elsewhere. Although no one really wants to believe that their perfect little Poopikins could be such a monster when out of sight and earshot, it still happens. I’m sure you’ve witnessed this many times; you just never thought it had anything to do with you. This week, if anyone tells you something about someone you love that you find difficult or unpleasant to believe, give them the benefit of the doubt. They’re not just making stuff up.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) When you get one flat tire, or even two, you file it under “stuff happens” and forget about it. When you get four at once, while parked, you have to realize that something else is going on. To decide it’s just a bizarre coincidence would be delusional; even if it could be exactly that, it’s highly unlikely. The logical and correct conclusion is that there’s something more nefarious afoot—it’s time to quit denying it and actually get to the bottom of it instead. Although whoever has it in for you is more subtle and less malicious than to cripple your car, it would still be a good idea to find them and fix things sooner rather than later, especially because now it would require only a quick heart-to-heart; later, you might need to do a whole lot more to mend that bridge.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) It’s in a plant’s nature to seek the sun; from the moment it sprouts from its seed, it’ll attempt to grow towards the light, regardless of what’s in the way. Humans are the same—except that it’s in our nature to seek love the way a plant seeks sunlight. You can’t blame a person for grasping at love; it’s almost impossible to do anything else. If you hit your head on a branch extended to catch the sun, do you blame the tree? Of course not. Nor should you blame the person who inadvertently hurts you (probably without noticing) while they’re on their own quest for love.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) You pull over to let fire engines and ambulances past, not just because it’s the law, but because what they’re up to is quite simply more urgent and important than whatever you’re doing. Think of that this week, when circumstances demand that you yield right-of-way, so that you can do so gracefully and swiftly, instead of slowly and resentfully. Failing to do so would not only be bad karma—it’d be embarrassing, too, when everyone found out that you couldn’t be bothered to put aside your own agenda long enough to help (or at least not hinder) someone who richly deserved it.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) There’s the kind of animal lover who ends up capturing, killing, and stuffing the objects of their affection, and there’s the type that only enjoys the beloved beasts from afar, out of sight and earshot, so as not to disturb the creatures in their natural habitats. These are two very different kinds of love. One is about control, possession, and fear, and the other is more based on consideration and appreciation. Most human loves are a mixture of the two. Which does yours most resemble, and is that really what you’re about? If not, fix it this week.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Everyone has their own way of doing things. Sure, your way is better, but don’t expect gratitude if you decide to insist upon it; this isn’t even a “you’ll thank me later” situation—they won’t. While standing your ground and forcing people to do things the “right” way it certainly an option, this time you’re probably better off just sucking it up and cheerfully doing it the way that’s been suggested. After all, it’s no skin off your back if it’s not done exactly the best way—insisting that it go your way, on the other hand, could get you (emotionally, at least) flayed.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Even those with the most primitive imaginations can hear a series of sounds and piece together the scenario that created them; the vividness of such a visualization is no guarantee of its accuracy, however. In fact, what people dream up is behind what they hear is an excellent source of comedy, and, occasionally, tragedy. Are you sure that what you think happened, based on admittedly limited information, actually happened? I’m not. Before you leap to conclusions based on assumptions made by your rather vivid imagination, seek corroborating evidence. You might have trouble finding any—since you’re about as wrong as could be.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Getting a gun doesn’t mean you intend to shoot someone; in fact, I’ll bet most gun buyers have no desire whatsoever to ever use it, and fervently hope it never comes to that. But purchasing a firearm allows for the possibility (some might even say the probability) that you might shoot someone, a scenario that would be extremely unlikely otherwise. I know the intent is to prevent even more objectionable situations, but things don’t always work out that way. Be careful what doors you open (especially in the name of fear) this week; instead of taking you further from the situation you hope to avoid, they’re likely to bring you inexorably closer.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) The show must go on, as they say, regardless of what’s happening for you personally. You can’t let your emotional stuff eclipse what else is going on this week. If you really can’t put that crap aside long enough to get stuff done, do everyone a favor and delegate someone who can. It’s only fair. If you take that route, however, don’t expect to just take your old duties back when you’re ready for them. It doesn’t work that way. Like it or not, you gave them up for good. It’s good to feel things passionately, but if you think you’ll feel later that this mountain was rather molehill-esque, it might be better to clear your head and just get over it now.
