Re the proposed solar telescope on Haleakala [“Trouble in the House of the Sun,” June 11]: The ancient Hawaiians used their mountains for—what?

Observing space and the sun.

Haleakala—the “house of the sun”—was used to honor and observe the sun, folks. So tradition continues. “Honoring the ‘aina” is always a slogan that “Native Hawaiians” use. But take a look at the ‘aina when a bunch of “locals” left after their Sunday picnic. And look at their big ass trucks, how they poison the air and the land. And how many Native Hawaiians do their “sacred” thing with the ‘aina, like planting? Today it’s about cars, TVs and pit bulls. And loud voices against progress—because it’s convenient to play “poor” and “downtrodden” and be the mascot of America, the bigeyed, always complaining under-educated “Hawaiian.” It’s an awful cliché, and it’s self-chosen. A very small number of ill-advised and culturally undereducated Native Hawaiians try to oppose everything that one could, perhaps, blame for one’s misery. A telescope? If the ancients had access to a thing like that, they would have been proud to the max. Once it was the Hawaiians’ greatest pride to see their offspring educated in the best possible way. Today, the opposition against the ATST is actually an example for the ignorance of traditional culture.

Hawaiians of old were highly investigative and open-minded people—until they were oppressed by the ali‘i. (No, not by Westerners; Westerners saved the Hawaiian language when the chiefs were all into business, sold out the sandalwood and got their own people killed by the thousands.) Hawaiians are smart people, not the weak, poor, backwards folks that some politicians try to portray the whole nation as. In the old days, it was OK that immigrants came and established new family clans. When did it become not OK? When some people decided to spill their judgmental racism all over the place. Pau already, you ignorant creators of war in our hearts! We are all humans, and we are all mixes of each other.

OFF TARGET What exactly is it that we need right now, on this small island in the middle of the ocean?

In this time of “recession” it is time to reflect on what we really need. Is it more stuff? To create more trash that is already filling up the landfill? At one time it was thought that if goods here were cheaper, it would raise the quality of life. Did it raise it for the Mom and Pop stores that were shut down because goods were cheaper at K-Mart? It is the human condition to want more and more, but does it make us happier? I remember when Wal-Mart opened; I was excited to see how much better it would be than just having ol‘ K-Mart, but when I found out that their goods came from China and most of it was very poor quality, I stopped shopping there. Any loss to me? No! As a matter of fact, I now try to live more frugally—I buy fruits and veggies from the farmer’s markets (they’re cheaper than stores). Frankly, I’d rather have my money stay on-island than send it to the Mainland, or worse, China. Now and then I feel the urge to go shopping, but it’s easily suppressed—I just go hike or surf, spend time with my family, you know, important things. We must learn to live with less, but corporations want to convince us otherwise.

THE BEEF GOES ON When Rob Parsons decided to get on the anti-meat soapbox [“You like beef, brah?,” June 4]—an article leading with picture of a severed cow’s head, a heart-wrenching bit therein about terrified children reacting to the slaughter of an innocent orphaned baby pig—did he intentionally adopt the tactics of another pro-life movement?

Having Target here would be a good thing [Coconut Wireless, June 11]. For us consumers, competition is good, and what better way than to have these two (Wal-Mart and Target) compete for business? It’s hard having limited choices. Look at the deals for different goods on Oahu—be nice to have those same deals here. This whole debate about “big box” stores is pathetic. They

Bad chemistry A film screening at the Maui Ocean Center reveals the damaging effects of CO2 on the sea magine the ocean stripped bare: no coral, no crabs, no mussels, no clams—and ultimately no fish. What would that be like? It’s hard to say, says Rusty Brainard, chief of the Coral Reef Ecosystems Division at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Pacific Islands Fisheries Center, though it could be an environment in which jellyfish and other, similar species predominate. But good luck catching a fish. You’d be hard-pressed to find bait, anyhow.

I

Imagine a World Without Fish, a film screening Tuesday, June 23 as part of Maui Ocean Center’s Sea Talk series.

“It’s kind of shocking how little we know about this topic,” says Brainard.

The term itself was coined a mere six years ago, according to Kolbert, by climate scientists Ken Caldiera and Michael Wickett.

Yet there is an overwhelming consensus that the pH levels of our oceans are dropping, becoming more acidic at an alarming rate, and that carbon dioxide emissions—which result from the burning

One environmental lawyer called ocean acidification “global warming’s evil twin,” but the phenomenon is still largely unknown outside scientific circles.

It’s a nightmarish scenario, but, Brainard says, it could become reality in the next 35 to 100 years. That’s the range of time in which experts estimate that atmospheric CO2 will double if we don’t drastically change our ways. And most scientists believe high CO2 levels are altering the fundamental chemistry of our oceans.

It’s kind of like that science fair project involving a baby tooth left overnight in a petri dish full of CocaCola, except that the effects are potentially catastrophic, especially in places like Hawaii, where, in addition to their environmental and cultural importance, coral reefs generate an estimated $360 million dollars a year.

One environmental lawyer called ocean acidification “global warming’s evil twin,” but the phenomenon is still largely unknown outside scientific circles.

One man wants to change that.

After reading Elizabeth Kolbert’s November 2006 New Yorker piece titled “The Darkening Sea,” retired teacher Sven Huseby set out to find the truth behind ocean acidification.

His quest took him all over the planet and led to conversations with top researchers in the field. What he discovered was not pretty. Huseby’s travels are documented in A Sea Change:

of fossil fuel—are the culprit.

“From [the existing body of research] what we see is very scary,” says Brainard. illions of tons of CO2 are pumped into the atmosphere each year. The oceans absorb an estimated 25 to 33 percent of that. From a global warming standpoint, Brainard says, that’s a good thing, as it means less CO2 gets trapped in the atmosphere, which means a slower rate of global warming.

However, for our oceans and the unfathomably diverse and vast life forms that call them home, the estimated 118 billion metric tons (the equivalent of 118 billion VW Beetles) of carbon dioxide that the oceans have absorbed since the start of the Industrial Revolution have taken their toll—and scientists say there’s much, much more to come.

In a 2007 report, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a consortium of the world’s top climate change researchers, estimated that oceanic pH levels have dropped by 0.1 pH units. It doesn’t seem like much, but Kolbert points out in “The Darkening Sea” that the pH scale is logarithmic, much like the Richter scale. So it’s not an imperceptible change.

Lizzy McLeod, a Climate Adaptation Scientist with The Nature Conservancy’s Asia-Pacific Division says that ocean acid-

B

ification is bad news for marine life, namely corals and other life forms that rely on a biological process called calcification.

“This is huge,” she says, citing a 2008 paper published in Science titled “Coral Reefs Under Rapid Reefs and Ocean Acidification.”

The study found a 13 percent reduction in growth rate for coral in the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest coral reef.

Accurate measurements are possible because corals grow like trees—with rings to tell their story.

So how, exactly, does water with a lower pH spell disaster for calcifying marine life?

As the oceans absorb carbon dioxide, CO2 molecules combine with seawater molecules to form carbonic acid molecules.

Multiple studies show that this reduces the availability of aragonite, a substance that’s vital in the calcification process.

Coral, clams, echinoderms, starfish and tiny zooplankton called pteropods are among tens of thousands of calcifiers.

Scientists from NOAA, the United States Geological Survey, the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology and many other organizations have studied the impacts of acidification on a handful of calcifiers, including crustose coralline algae, a vital component to coral reefs.

USGS scientist Ilsa Kuffner, UH Oceanographer Andreas Andersson and others released results of a study in 2007 that took place at Coconut Island, Kaneohe Bay. In open air mesocosms (tanks) they decreased the pH of some of the tank’s water using diluted hydrochloric acid to induce the projected ocean pH. “The recruitment rate and growth of crustose coralline algae were severely inhibited in the elevated carbonate mesocosms,” the study read.

“Most of the organisms we look at suffer very badly,” Brainard adds. teropods are among the most studied organisms in terms of acidification’s impacts. As a series of photographs over time dramatically demonstrates in A Sea Change, their shells begin to dissolve within 48 hours of the water reaching a certain level of acidity. It’s a matter of days before they dissolve almost completely. This is bad for the marine food web and fisheries alike, as pteropods are an important part of the diets of fish like salmon.

McLeod says that the further you get from the Equator, the more difficult it is for calcifiers to make their shells and skeletons, because the oceans are less sat-

P

A pteropod. urated with aragonite. Reefs strewn along coral’s latitudinal limits—30 degrees north and south of the equator—are most vulnerable to acidification because of the scarcity of aragonite.

This paints a dire picture, but many scientists say it’s not too late to reduce the impacts of acidification. “It’s not all gloom and doom,” McLeod says.

Last year, for example, The Nature Conservancy convened a workshop in Hawaii to discuss impact reduction strategies. The result was “The Honolulu Declaration on Acidification and Reef Management,” a series of policy and management recommendations. It stressed not only the importance of a reduction in carbon emissions, but also increased protection of our reefs—things as simple as reducing reef damage from divers’ fin kicks.

The federal government recently passed the FOARAM (Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring) Act, which grants NOAA and the National Science Foundation $96 million over the next 10 years for ocean acidification research.

The abundance of the sea makes it easy to forget how fragile the balance is. We may not know what we’ve got until it’s gone—but we can’t afford to wait that long.

Is it a way to show how cool you are or how stupid? While waiting in line in Paia I was confronted by a dude’s neck that read “Made In Maine.” What a yutz. I mean, I felt like knocking him out; I am sure the authorities would have no problem finding out where to ship him.

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD JIHAD-ERCISE A physical fitness video, purportedly made in April by a U.S.-based alQaida operative, gives workout tips to jihadists, urging that they “train as hard as possible” to inflict maximum damage on “the enemies of Allah,” according to an ABC News report. Exercises such as crawling long distances on hands and knees are demonstrated by people in flowing robes. The narrator discourages using gyms and fitness centers because of the “un-Islamic” music and “semi-naked” women. And a video released in May, purportedly from al-Qaida in Somalia, features an English-speaking rap singer making a recruitment pitch to U.S. and European youth, including such verses as: “Mortar by mortar/Shell by shell/Only going to stop/When I send them to hell.”

JUDGE NOT When courts in Nashville, Tenn., get too backed up, a local tradition allows judges to appoint well-known local attorneys to act as “special judges” to help clear dockets.

According to a months-long investigation by WTVF-TV, broadcast in April, it appears that at least some of the “special judges” used their power largely to dismiss speeding tickets, including at least one instance of a lawyer dismissing his own client’s ticket. The station found that of almost 1,800 speeding tickets dismissed by courts during the time investigated, 1,300 were by the “special judges.”

HEY, THERE ARE ALWAYS MORE GAY ARABIC LINGUISTS The U.S. Air Force has spent an estimated $25 million training combat pilot Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach but is about to discharge him involuntarily because he is gay. Born of military-officer parents, Fehrenbach has earned 30 awards and decorations, with tours flying F-15Es in Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq, and was one of the elite fighters called on to patrol the air space over Washington, D.C., on Sept. 11, 2001. Also about to be discharged solely for being gay is Army infantry officer Daniel Choi, a West Point graduate and Arabic speaker, who would be (based on a 2005 Government Accounting Office report) at least the 56th gay Arabic linguist to be dismissed from the U.S. military since the first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.

There was a time when musicians who used that pitch-correcting Auto-Tune program did so with a certain degree of shame. They were, after all, admitting they needed a computer to help them sing. That was then. Now, everyone from Kanye West to Daft Punk is proudly employing Auto-Tune as an instrument, to achieve that robot-in-an-echo-chamber effect. Pushing things to the next level of absurdity: “Auto-Tune the News,” a series of videos that take hot-button stories (Somali pirates, gay marriage, melting glaciers) and, well, Auto-Tune them.

Grace by osmosis

Disapproval

To see the world in a ripe strawberry utside the East Bay ’burb of San Ramon, Crow Canyon Road winds in a serpentine fashion through rounded grassy hills, dotted with majestic oak trees.

Amidst the ranches and fields, a gravel driveway leads past horse paddocks and crosses a small wooden bridge.

Dust kicks up as we pass parking areas named after Hindu goddesses and Indian locales—Lakshmi, Shiva, Kailesh, Hari Om. We join a steady stream of people heading up a steep brick-cobbled walkway towards a tall A-frame assembly hall. We are drawn like bees seeking nectar, and indeed, the ashram’s barn-like temple at M.A. Center is buzzing with activity.

Inside, pleated fabrics of deep red and shimmering gold provide an opulent backdrop to the stage, where musicians and singers sit cross-legged, filling the hall with exhilarating Indian devotional music, or bhajans. Below them sits a diminutive, dark-skinned woman, resplendent in a white sari, her smile radiating bliss and compassion to the hundreds of people who have gathered to be in her presence and to experience the blessing of her embrace.

Last week, we started to tell you about a case that not only broke the LC Adjudication Board’s sixmonth minor decoy-only streak, but also aroused confusion and a bit of peevishness from the board members.

“Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit.” - Emerson Heather her spiritual name, Neeraja (which means “lotus-born”). We immerse ourselves in singing, meditating, seva (service to others) and listening to the swami’s talks.

(Amma speaks mainly in Malayalam, the native tongue of her Southern Indian province of Kerala; often her teachings are translated and offered by one of her swamis.)

The visits to Amma afford an opportunity to polish my inner self, to recharge my spiritual batteries.

It is believed that Mata Amritananda Mayi—better known as Amma, which means “mother”—has hugged upwards of 28 million people.

Her tireless devotion and selfless, unconditional love have helped create a globe-spanning charitable network and have earned her a number of prestigious humanitarian commendations.

San Ramon is the second stop on her summer North American tour, comprising 11 cities from Seattle to Boston. It has been two years since I last made the pilgrimage to be in Amma’s presence, and to receive her amazing darshan (hugging blessing).

(See the June 2007 Rob Report, “Something That Works.”)

I am gratefully reunited with my wife Heather, who spent much of the past week at the ashram and has been coming to see Amma for nearly 20 years. Many years ago, upon request, Amma gave

mma is considered to be a mahatma, or fully realized being and teacher (satguru), whose divine presence is manifested in human form.

That’s a lot for the Western mind to grasp; there’s something to be said for simply watching Amma in action. Whether she’s leading satsang (teachings), kirtan (singing bhajans), or giving hugs, her energy is boundless. And the love and bliss she embodies is unsurpassable.

At the ashram, I recognize familiar faces of devotees from years past. The assembled crowd includes people of all ages, many races and myriad faiths.

Amma’s teachings, while centered in Hindu traditions, do not constitute a particular religion. Rather, her followers are part of a greater worldwide sangha, or spiritual community.

How is it possible that this human being can pour out so much love, some-

times hugging for 12 to 14 hours at a stretch during Devi Bhava ceremonies?

Through her actions she is constantly engaged in bringing benefit and healing to the world, and encourages those who come to her to “light a flame of devotion in your own heart, then it will multiply.”

“It is said that when the disciple is ready, the guru will appear,” says one of the swami’s during his talk. “Therefore, cultivate the disciple within yourself.”

Amma, however, refers to those who come to her as her children. “They call me Mother,” she says, “so I call them my children.” ack in Oakland after our visits to M.A. Center, Heather/Neeraja and I set out for a Sunday afternoon stroll.

We hike down a short hill from our friends’ home to Sausal Creek, a pleasant area that is maintained by community volunteer efforts.

Greenery abounds, and sunshine filters through the trees to illuminate the wildflowers and berry bushes along the path.

Butterflies flit to and fro—blues, skippers, fritillaries and even

The facts: On December 5, 2008, two liquor control officers entered Juca Mexican Restaurant in Maalaea. They found patrons drinking beer, a pair of unregistered, underage workers in the kitchen and no one on site with the required paperwork to supervise the underage employees. Juca was hit with three counts: failing “to register and obtain approval from the director for minors”; failing “to provide adequate supervision at all times by an ‘employee approved by the director’ for employees under twenty-one years of age”; and failing “to have an on-duty employee duly approved by the director in active charge of the premises.”

Owner Jose Franco represented himself. Struggling with an obvious language barrier (likely due to confusion, Franco became the first person in memory to ask for the charges to be publicly read), Franco was subjected to some stern, repetitive questioning that bordered on badgering. Chairman Donald Fujii called the case “unusual,” and Director Frank Silva, who often doesn’t speak at these get-togethers, was asked several points of clarification.

Franco admitted his error, but said he’s had a hard time keeping licensed servers on staff given how slow business has been.

And convincing a couple of teenagers who may not have spoken fluent English to go down and register with the LC? Let’s just say no one was shocked that didn’t happen.

see GRACE, page 10

Of course, in the end responsibility falls on the establishment. (Franco was issued a warning prior to his citations.)

And responsibility came in the form of a $6,000 fine, $2,000 suspended.

ROBREPORT GRACE, continued from page 9 tiger swallowtails. A hummingbird does a quick flyby, hovering just long enough for us to marvel at its adept flight skills.

At the bottom of a concrete spillway constructed as part of a 1939 WPA project, we sit for a few minutes of silent reflection. I run the wooden beads of my mala (necklace) between my thumb and third finger as I silently recite the mantra Amma whispered in my ear some years ago.

I ponder the tall trees rooted in the steep creek banks, their branches everreaching toward the sunlight. All living things, I surmise, are products of the environment in which they grow.

Fertile soil and favorable climate conditions will produce a strong plant or tree. Likewise, humans grow and bear fruit to the extent we are nurtured in our early years, and cultivate good habits and qualities as adults. We reap what we sow.

So much of Western society revolves around intellectual pursuits and money-oriented goal-setting. In my own upbringing, reading and learning was encouraged, academics were stressed. The education process constituted a continual pouring in of knowledge, feeding the mind.

While in college, I encountered Transcendental Meditation, a mindquieting technique brought to the West by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who also became popular with The Beatles, Beach Boys and other celebrities. TM was easy, relaxing and free of the cumbersome dogma that I felt weighed down other religious pursuits.

But mostly, my own inward-turning contemplation and spiritual practices have taken a back seat to worldly preoccupations. Thus, the visits to Amma afford an opportunity to polish my inner self, to recharge my spiritual batteries. e leave the Sausal Creek trail, cutting through a neighborhood with houses built well before World War II, judging by the imaginative architecture.

Behind a metal fence, fruit trees and towering redwoods grace a hillside, and closer inspection reveals dozens of garden plots.

Atop the winding garden paths, a man pushing a wheelbarrow notices us looking through the fence.

Wearing an old striped T-shirt, work shorts and a wool-knit hat and sporting a salt-and-pepper beard, he reminds me of an elfin Robin Williams. He invites us to come in and look around.

“What is this place?” my sweetheart asks. “A botanical garden?”

“No,” the man answers, “it’s an old folks home.” He leads us in through a gate to the property, adorned with a stately building. On the side fronting the planted hillside, tall columns mark the grand entry.

“How about that?” our host asks. “It’s like Scarlet O’Hara lives here.”

We explore the area, amazed at the abundance and variety of vegetables, flowering plants and fruit trees. We find out that Peter, the Robin Williams lookalike, is not a hired gardener, but a resident. He tells us the 1894 building, Altenheim Residences, was originally built for elderly Germans who settled in the area and planted orchards in a neighborhood now known as Fruitvale.

Now, he tells us, a group of older Chinese women are among those who tend the gardens.

“How did you come to be here?”

Neeraja asks. “I grew old,” Peter replies with a youthful smile.

He leads us to his own garden plot, a fairy tale setting with colorful tiles and plastic figurines and animals stacked among the rocks and plants. Hearing that we’re visiting from Maui, he tells us he once lived on Oahu. “Look,” he gestures, “taro!” He points to elephant ear, or ape‘, and a smaller dryland variety.

He tells us about the Chinese ladies planting herbs and vegetables for their medicinal properties, and points to a plant that he says Mexican women braid in their daughters’ hair when they come of age, to help them select a good husband. “They are very clever in knowing what each of the plants is good for,” he notes. his sort of connection with nature is a dying art. One of Amma’s many charities is Greenfriends, which assists regional efforts for treeplanting and restoring nature’s bounty.

Recently, M.A. Center volunteers planted 1,000 fruit trees after constructing a large swale on the hillside slopes, created to capture water that might be otherwise be lost to runoff.

After bidding our new friend goodbye, we return to our friends’ home, charmed and inspired by the sweetness of our brief encounter. Fittingly, a bounty of fruit greets us. Our friends had stopped by a farmer’s market at closing time and gotten two-for-one deals on strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, cherries and apricots.

Amma says: “The life force that pulsates in the trees, plants and animals is the same life force that pulsates within us. The Earth, trees, plants and animals are all manifestations of God. We should love them as we love our own self.”

With a smile, I pop a large, ripe strawberry into my mouth. MTW

course, not everyone in the Native Hawaiian community thinks the bill, which would “provide a process for the reorganization of a Native Hawaiian government and the recognition by the United States of the Native Hawaiian government,” is a good idea. Some say it doesn’t go far enough and could undermine more radical sovereignty efforts.

It’ll be interesting to see if this is indeed the year the bill finally gets through—and what the fallout will be if it does.

FRIDAY, JUNE 12 Campaign contributions influence politicians’ votes. That statement is so self-evident, so universally accepted, most people can read a line like this one, from a recent McClatchy dispatch, and scarcely bat an eye: “Among the 17 senators who voted against allowing the Food and Drug Administration to regulate tobacco are some of the top recipients of campaign contributions from the tobacco industry, which has donated millions of dollars to lawmakers in the past several campaign cycles.”

Why aren’t we having a revolution, again?

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10

SATURDAY, JUNE 13

Just got word that the University of Hawaii has officially selected M.R.C. Greenwood as its new president. The decision was something of a foregone conclusion when the only other candidate, Robert Jones, dropped out, but it doesn’t come without controversy.

Greenwood, as you may have heard, was forced to resign from a high-ranking position in the University of California system amid charges of nepotism. Then again, that could make her an ideal fit for Hawaii… In other news: Sign of our collective decline #8,432: A press release that I am fairly sure is not a joke landed in my inbox recently, promoting “The Wearable Towel,” which is exactly what it sounds like. Here’s a snippet: “The World Wide Web is raving with reviews ranging from comparatives like ‘It’s not just a bathrobe worn backwards’ to ‘I hate myself for loving you.’”

OK, maybe it is a joke. Let’s hope.

A couple of lingering challenges from the last election (which feels like it was way more than seven months ago) resurfaced today. First came word that the county Board of Ethics finished a review of complaints against Councilman Wayne Nishiki. The story will be familiar to anyone who follows local politics, but for the uninitiated: On a financial disclosure form filed months after the deadline, Nishiki—who ran as the independent, anti-development candidate and hammered his opponent, Don Couch, for taking developer dollars—revealed he received a $100,000 loan from Everett Dowling while out of office. We broke the story in November; search the archives at mauitime.com to read the piece and the interesting, vitriolic debate it set off between Couch and Nishiki supporters.

Anyway, now the board has finished its review—but no one gets to see it. Not the press, not the public, not even the person who filed it (Michael Covich of Pukalani).

Only Nishiki and the board know what it says, and so far they’re not talking.

Covich’s lawyer, Jim Fosbinder, had the best line. Quoted in The Maui News, he compared the process to “letting Kafka rewrite Machiavelli.” Also making headlines today is the residency challenge against Councilman Sol Kaho‘ohalahala. The challenge—which alleges Kaho‘ohalahala lives in Lahaina, not Lanai where he was elected to serve— was first struck down by the county clerk.

That decision was reversed on appeal by the state Board of Registration. A second appeal, this one by Kaho‘ohalahala, is set to be heard by the Intermediate Court of Appeals, but lawyers for Lanai resident

THURSDAY, JUNE 11 “On this day 116 years ago, the monarchy of the Kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown by agents of the United States.” That was Rep. (and gubernatorial candidate) Neil Abercrombie, addressing a congressional committee earlier today. The subject of discussion was HR2314, better known as the Akaka bill, which was first introduced

by Sen. Dan Akaka almost a decade ago. Abercrombie said that, with Democrats in control of Congress and “a president who has already said he would sign it,” there “has never been a better time to pass the Akaka bill.” Of

Gentlemen, start your mudslingers...

Michael Dupree, who filed the claim, want to push it straight to the Hawaii Supreme Court. In short: what once looked to be a dead issue is now alive and kicking. Stay tuned.

SUNDAY, JUNE 14 The silver lining of this ongoing Nishiki debacle? It gives me an excuse to reach into my bottomless bag of pithy politician quotes. Here’s a personal favorite: “A lot has been said about politicians; some of it is complimentary, but most of it is accurate.” - Eric Idle

MONDAY, JUNE 15 Or, if you prefer: “My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there’s hardly any difference.” - Harry S. Truman (paraphrasing an old joke)

TUESDAY, JUNE 16 Less than 24 hours after Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann tossed his hat into the gubernatorial ring, Abercrombie fired the first shot. In a prepared statement, Abercrombie accused the Mayor of reneging on his promise to help launch the city’s rail system, which voters approved last year, and

leaving the project “leaderless.”… Speaking of the rail system: According to a report in yesterday’s Honolulu Advertiser, controversy is swirling around a campaign to inform the public about the train. Critics are claiming the new slogan, “I Love Rail,” “crosses the line from information to advocacy.” I agree— but Honolulu transit director Wayne Yoshioka doesn’t. “The purpose of what we’re doing is public information,” said Yoshioka. Here’s what Yoshioka didn’t add: “Also, we should change that slogan.”… In other news: Every once in a while, amidst all the doublespeak and carefully guarded talking points, public figures actually say something concise and honest that cuts to the core of their philosophy, for better or (more often) worse. The example of the day comes, appropriately enough, courtesy of Mr. Dowling.

It’s a quote buried at the end of a Maui News story about how various large-scale island projects have had to be downgraded or put on ice because of the recession. Addressing the Planning Commission, Dowling offered these sage words: “This too shall pass. The high-end will pull us out of it.” MTW Jacob Shafer is also available in Twitter form.

ONO KINEGRINDS

BY YNEZ TONGSON YNEZ@MAUITIME.COM

Dinner and a movie The Maui Film Festival has something for your taste buds, too love eating at the movies.

The smell of freshly popped popcorn coming out of my purse just brings back fond memories. Sometimes I’ll smuggle whole meals in. Forget waiting in long lines at the concession stand, I’ve got my own little buffet in my bag. (I’m lucky that none of the ushers in Maui’s reputable theaters have called me on the steam pouring out of my purse at every matinee movie I’ve attended.)

But the Maui Film Festival is one place I won’t be packing my own grinds. There’s literally something for everyone. Of course, a festival with its own official beer (Stella Artois), official water (Hawaiian Springs) and official vodka (Ocean Vodka) is bound to be a classy and gastronomically pleasing event.

This weekend, send your diet on a vacation while you send your taste buds to Nirvana.

Seasons. As a dedicated choco-phile who can be pushed over the edge by

a Hershey’s kiss, this is a dream come true. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Friday evening than feasting on chocolate Grand Marnier soufflé and savoring every bite of chocolate strawberry ganache.

Not only that, but there will be chocolate milkshakes made with real homemade chocolate ice cream.

I’m also really looking forward to gorging on the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake. If the evening goes as planned, I’m hoping to connect myself to the chocolate fountain with an I.V. Taste of Chocolate explores the whole spectrum, from silky sweet candy to pleasantly bitter, dark aphrodisiac.

‘Music reconnects us’ Ahead of a Maui Film Festival appearance, HAPA’s Barry Flanagan reflects on his musical influences, the early days in Lahaina and the power of Hawaiian culture What compelled you to play this year’s Maui Film Festival?

I actually called Barry [Rivers] up and asked to play because we haven’t done anything [for a while]. We’ve known each other for many, many years. And we did a full HAPA concert eight years ago on Father’s Day, and all this time has gone by. I think it might have been his first or second [Film Festival]. [Since then], it’s just been so much traveling and stuff that we weren’t able to catch up with each other. So a couple of months ago I

HAPA Next gig: Sunday, June 21, 7:30pm at the Maui Film Festival’s Celestial Cinema, Wailea

called and talked to Barry and told him that we were home that week, and if he wanted us to we’d come over and do a short little set for one of the evenings, and he jumped on it.

You know him—he gets so much done. He’s like a New York minute guy. And really that’s it, you know?

Maui’s always in the blood, so it should be nice to get over there again. We were there three weeks ago for a Casanova concert—which, once again, we haven’t done that in 10 years. Where’s the time going?

You said it’s going to be a shorter set…

It’s actually, you know, it’s not really a concert. It’s just, like, an appearance, before one of the nights. You know how they do music before the movie starts? It’s one of those.

Do you plan on bringing anything new or never before heard on Maui?

We just came off of two and a half months of touring, so we’ll have a couple of new songs that we’re working on for our next release, which should be early next year. One of the songs is called “Like a Road.” We’re going to dedicate that to a good friend, Ray Ennis, from Stella Blues, who just passed. That’s a song that was made popular by Jerry Garcia, so

16

JUNE 18, 2009

that seems fitting, because Ray loved the Grateful Dead so much. We’ve been doing the song for a couple of years. We’re going to end our next record with it. It’s a really nice kind of farewell, goodbye song. So we’re going to be playing that and a couple of other newbies. We’re going to dedicate our set to Ray. Do you plan on incorporating hula?

Oh, I’m sure that there’ll be some hula.

There’s always someone in the audience.

We’re not bringing a dancer over but there’s always somebody that knows something. Every time we play we do one or two songs that somebody in the audience knows, if we don’t travel with a dancer.

Who is going to be on stage with you this time?

Nathan [Aweau] and myself—it’ll be us two. Nathan will probably do one 7-string bass solo. Should be fun. The sound system should be pretty rockin’. Village Audio’s doing the sound; they take good care of us. Barry always takes really good care of us.

How was the tour?

The tour was really amazing. We did 22 Mainland cities, came home for a week, and then did 15 cities in Japan. Probably one of the highlights: we did a private concert for 35 people in Beaver Creek,

creative writing teacher. And in my first year of living there I heard the music of Gabby Pahinui and really fell in love with it. I was a huge fan of Ry Cooder’s and Ry Cooder and Gabby Pahinui had done some albums together. A house I was liv-

“People aren’t coming here for calypso and Jamaican music…I’ve always been a stickler about making sure Hawaiian language is included in the music that I play and record.”

Colorado with Art Garfunkel, which is really amazing. Then, like, eight weeks later we’re in Tokyo and the Tokyo Dome was selling out for Simon and Garfunkel’s reunion tour, which was like a 60,000-seat venue. It was really a trip to see him in such an intimate little setting and then see what the power is with their reunion tour.

How did you first get into Hawaiian language and slack key guitar?

I moved from the East Coast. I moved to Colorado to attend UC. I wanted to be a

ing in burned down, which gave me a big insurance check and I could go wherever I wanted at the time, so I thought, why don’t I just go to Hawaii for a year, get out of the whole winter thing and kind of, you know, see what that would bring me?

I’ve always had this whole traveler thing.

I still do. I’m always traveling, which I love. It’s like a hobby. I came to Hawaii, and of course fell in love with the place, and since then I’ve married local. I was on Maui for 11 years or so and I’ve been in Honolulu now for 17. And HAPA was

formed in 1983. I just really had this vision of doing a contemporary Hawaiian record that honored the groups I had gotten to know, production-wise. I was honoring the Brothers Cazimero and the Beamer Brothers, Olomana, C & K, all these groups that I just loved. The CD took about eight years and $100,000 to get done. It was at that time that I became friends with Barry Rivers. Way in the early years. Barry actually has a cassette demo of the first HAPA CD before anyone else ever got it. The CD came out and it did really well and I’ve been touring ever since.

Was your sound something that came to you, and then you hashed it out, or did it just happen and then you said ‘I’m onto something’?

You know, I hadn’t been playing guitar very long when I moved to Hawaii. Only, like, five years. But I practiced a lot on the East Coast. I grew up [with] and was influenced heavily by that huge cultural change of the ’60s in a little town called Bergenfield, New Jersey, which was right near New York City. So all of that— the Beatles, all of that stuff was within 15 minutes from where I grew up. The heavy, heavy cultural influence of New continued on next page

MUSICSCENE continued from previous page York City. I used to see Lou Reed walking around the Lower East back then. And I was a kid that really just absorbed well, so I kind of went from a sports upbringing right to playing eight to 10 hours a day of guitar. Al Di Meola graduated a few years ahead of me; [he] was probably one of the greatest guitar players in the world. This is in a town of 20,000 people, and it had just brilliant guitar players. Van Manakas and Wayne Lopes—those two guys and Al Di Meola were like the Michael Jordans of guitar in my town. I practiced a lot and worked on a lot of different styles of music

BY KATE BRADSHAW KATE@MAUITIME.COM

I noticed the chord progression on the track “Haleakala” is invocative of the David Crosby solo album If I Could Only Remember my Name.

I love that record. A huge influence on “Page 43.” I also toured with them. Each guy used to do a solo piece [when] I went out with them on the road. I would get up and do a song or two with Stephen. He played on “Kaopuihi Aloha,” which is track two on the very first HAPA record.

As you were incorporating Hawaiian culture—music, hula, chant—into what you were doing, did you discover anything that you couldn’t incorporate but wanted to?

No. I heard a CD called A Gaelic Christmas. I heard “Greensleeves” being

“I don’t really see things as black and white or brown and white. I think that the South Pacific Islander vibe is all colors.” [before] I started deciding what HAPA was going to be. I always wanted HAPA to kind of make its own map. To me that’s really the most important thing. I surrounded myself with language PhDs—I still do it to this day, whenever doing anything with the Hawaiian language. Stanley Raymond, who’s [taught] thousands and thousands of students the Hawaiian language at MCC, helped me with my songs and pronunciation. A family called the Kaopuikis—Jimmie and Ardel— they really took me under their wing. I ended up living next to them in Lahaina, and they introduced me to everybody. So within a year in Hawaii I was surrounded by some really amazing language people.

Uncle Moon Keahi, that family was a huge influence. Uncle Moon played music at a restaurant called the Banyan Inn, which was in Lahaina.

This was in the late ’70s, early ’80s.

It was the real deal. Slack key and beautiful three-part harmony and stuff. I’m really ashamed that there are no places like that to go to anymore. So within a couple years it was like a dense education of Hawaiian culture. I think for the first three and a half years on Maui it was nothing but Hawaiian music and culture studies every day. What I was bringing with HAPA was kind of a hip, Crosby, Stills and Nash feel with really good harmonies and hopefully good guitar playing.

done by a group with Ilian pipe, which is an Irish instrument, and thought, oh, I’d love to put slack key and Ilian together.

And it worked perfectly on a song I composed called “Aloha Namahana,” which is on the Namahana release. I’m using that as an example, but even an Irish bagpipe, an Ilian pipe, fit perfectly with slack key.

Music to me is—I mean, look at Ry Cooder and Gabby working together. Music is a bridge. Bridges are built by insecure people who want to get to the other side; who want to see what’s over there. Music is one of the great bridges for insecurity and wanting to see what’s on the other side. So I’ve wanted to be bold with every record.

This last CD, the Maui one, the whole kind of influence we wanted was hoki lau and Tahiti—and it totally worked.

So you have a different vision for every album—records aren’t just collections of songs, but instead have a unified theme.

You have to be artful and there’s got to be a musicality with every project. [It’s] a musical integrity thing—to take on something for each recording and make it different. I don’t think any two HAPA CDs sound alike, which is good. That’s a good legacy to continue.

How do you feel about the scene, so to speak, in terms of slack key? Do you think that it has the venues it needs to flourish?

Since I’m out of the state for six to seven months to make Hawaiian music, since there are so many people out the state that

love Hawaiian music with Hawaiian words and the Hawaiian music scene, I think that’s pretty much the barometer. I don’t think that Hawaiian music with Hawaiian words—meaning the language, the music added to it and slack key—is supported as much as I would love for it to be. I just think there could be a heck of a lot more people hiring groups that play Hawaiian music for their parties, if they can afford it, to hotels and restaurants, specifically looking for Hawaiian music. People aren’t coming here for calypso and Jamaican music—and nothing against any of [that] music, it’s great—but I’m just saying that I’ve always been a stickler about making sure Hawaiian language is included in the music that I play and record. It’s cultural. A lot of people don’t know this, but there were less than 20 adolescents that spoke the Hawaiian language in the late ’70s. And that started Punana Leo. There were these movements in the late ’70s to perpetuate the language through music and through schooling—and it’s a good thing.

You must have gotten here right in the middle of that.

Yes I did. Big influence on me.

Did you face any challenges as someone coming from the Mainland?

Oh, yeah. I had a couple of bottles

bounced off my head walking down Front Street.

As a musician, though?

As a musician? Well, yeah. I mean, what situation in life is completely “Kumbaya”? I would say 90 percent of my experience has been positive and it’s been a really good bridge. My longest and best friends in Hawaii all basically have to do with music and culture. I don’t really see things as black and white or brown and white. I think that the South Pacific Islander vibe is all colors, including our current president.

And I’ve always thought that way, since I came here. That’s what I wanted to seek out when I came. And that’s always been my favorite part of Hawaii—the little bit of negative haole stuff that goes with that has kind of rolled off my back. Never bothered me. Yes, it’s happened. But I’d say 90 percent of my experiences have been real rewarding and fulfilling and obviously here I am still doing it, 30 years later. We are all spiritual beings sharing a human experience on one Earth—music and art reconnects us to that spiritual way of thinking, which I feel is the best way.

Mockin’ in the free world [film] American Movie The mockumentary is like reality TV’s sophisticated older cousin. It understands and embraces the voyeuristic appeal of watching “real” people, but doesn’t abandon wit, nuance and plot in the process. This odd, underappreciated gem is a fine example of the genre—at once broadly comedic and subtly subversive. It follows the travails of a mentally unstable wannabe filmmaker who has maxed out his credit cards and strained his family’s goodwill to the breaking point in an effort to produce his magnum opus, an unintentionally campy horror flick called Coven. Set against the drab, icy backdrop of northwest Milwaukee, the film takes a clueless, moribund character who is the source of his own misery and endows him with something approaching likability. How uniquely American.

Christopher Guest and his ever-expanding group of improvisational actors have made a career out of lampooning singular, insulated worlds populated by people who think far too highly of themselves—arena rock (This is Spinal Tap), kennel club dog shows (Best in Show), folk music (A Mighty Wind) and even independent film (For Your Consideration). Perhaps the most sublime and gut-bustingly hilarious of Guest and company’s creations follows a regional theater troupe as they rehearse a show and prepare for the arrival of the titular critic, who they imagine is their ticket to Broadway glory. The laughs are spread evenly among the cast, which includes Fred Willard as a pompous leading man, Eugene Levy as an awkward physician, Parker Posey as a gum-popping Dairy Queen waitress and Guest himself as effeminate director Corky St. Clair, whose haircut alone elicits guffaws. As Corky might say: “It’s a Zen thing—like how many babies fit in a tire.”

Though the longer-running American remake has had more sustained excellence, credit must be given to the original British version of this groundbreaking situation comedy. The conceit: A camera crew sets up shop at a paper supply company, offering the viewer a fly-on-the-wall peek into the lives, romantic entanglements and power struggles of an eclectic, downtrodden collection of cubicle jockeys. Most of the action orbits around cartoonishly arrogant regional manager David Brent. As played by the razor sharp Ricky Gervais, Brent is the kind of guy who not only puts his foot in his mouth, but likes the way it tastes. This is a show that’s all about small moments: pithy asides, rambling confessionals, awkward silences (and there are a lot of those). It both demands and rewards multiple viewings, which is more than can be said for most half-hour television comedies. MTW

If this is what we evolved from, it explains a lot.

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 crypto-conspiracy stuff involving the Vatican. I’m guessing this, much like the novel will be more widely consumed aboard aircraft than anyplace else. 138 min.

Departures - Unrated - Art, Foreign - This Japanese film follows a young cellist whose orchestra is dissolved. Jobless, he spots a job opening at a place called Departures, which turns out not to be a travel industry like he first thought. 131 min.

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.

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.

Imagine That - PG - Family - Eddie Murphy portrays a financial executive who turns to

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 explosions and mind-humps thrown in for good measure. Plus: Simon Pegg - of ‘Shaun of the Dead’ fame - plays Scotty. I would totally go full nerd for Simon Pegg.

126 min.

Taking of Pelham 123 - R - Thriller - A remake of a 1974 film involving a group of terrorists capturing a subway train. Passengers get taken hostage and are likely subjected to suspensefilled situations. 106 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 is leading the human resistance when a mysterious and presumably equally dreamy stranger shows up.

Do the math. 115 min.

Up - PG - Animation - The latest from Pixar chronicles the voyage of an old widower 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.

Valentino: The Last Emperor - 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.

CELESTIAL CINEMA (WAILEA) Rock Prophecies (Thursday, June 18, 8pm) Photographer and Oahu boy Robert Knight gets up close and personal with some of rock’s greatest axe men, including Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, BB King, Slash and many more. Prepare to have your hair blown back.

Art Officially Favored (Thursday, June 18, 9:30pm) If you’ve never heard of Berkeley musician Michael Masley, don’t worry—most people haven’t. But after watching this film—which highlights Masley’s unique, groundbreaking style of play—you won’t forget him.

Sita Sings the Blues (Thursday, June 18, 11pm) Hindu gods do epic, visually stunning things in this animated eye-pleaser from syndicated cartoonist Nina Paley.

Splinterheads (Friday, June 19, 8pm) The world’s oldest man, a conniving carnie and a young dude smitten—pretty much your classic comedic love story.

Cash Crop (Friday, June 19, 11pm) Northern California’s Emerald Triangle ain’t named after the redwood trees. Take an enlightening trip inside this booming black market industry—and don’t forget your snacks.

Paper Heart

(Friday, June 19, 9:45pm) Problems. We all know we’ve got ’em, but solutions are harder to come by. Director Turk Pipkin sets out to remedy this by traversing the globe in search of stuff that’s broken (environmentally, socially, politically) and then looking for fixes. Bonus: Willie Neslon, who will be given a “Maverick Award” before the screening (runner up: Sarah Palin) makes a cameo.

Double bonus: this is a world premiere.

JUNE 18, 2009

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Mustang: A Journey of Transformation (Saturday, June 20, 8pm) This is not about a guy fixing his Ford. Rather, it’s the tale of a small kingdom, pronounced “moose-tong,” that goes through a cultural and spiritual revival.

(Saturday, June 20, 8pm) Bumbling, stuttering Gen-Y everyman Michael Cera meets a girl who doesn’t believe in love in this genre-bender from director/star Charlyne Yi.

Yossu N’dour: I Bring What I Love (Saturday, June 20, 9:30pm) Follow the remarkable journey of the titular African poet/musician as he rises from obscurity to rub elbows with Springsteen and Bono.

Lightbulb (Saturday, June 20, 11pm) The title of this buddy flick refers to the metaphorical kind of lightbulb that supposedly goes off over your head when you have a bright idea.

But that doesn’t necessarily mean the dudes in question are full of good ideas.

More Than a Game (Sunday, June 21, 8pm) Some guy named LeBron James leads a high school basketball squad from a ramshackle Ohio gym to contending for a national championship in this sports-asa-metaphor-for-life uplifter.

(Note: Then James became an auto mechanic and no one ever heard from him again.)

One Peace at a Time

Guardians of the Sea, Wild Dolphin Project, No Child is Born a Terrorist, Rwanda Gorilla Special, The Arctic: Change at the Top of the World and India’s Song.

Facing Ali (Sunday, June 21, 10pm) A collection of boxers who had the guts to step into the ring with the Greatest of All Time—including famed adversary and grill pitchman George Foreman—share memories both pointed and poignant that shed new light on the iconic fighter.

SANDDANCE THEATER (WAILEA) Explore Shorts Showcase (Friday, June 19, 8pm) A collection of globe-spanning short subject works from director Charles Annenberg Weingarten, including:

Dirt! The Movie (Saturday, June 20, 8:30pm) There is perhaps nothing on Earth more underappreciated than, well, earth. Dirt, dust, mud, that brown stuff beneath our feet. We consider it a nuisance, something to be vacuumed up, washed off, swept away. Yet where many see filth and grime, others (including the makers of this film) see one of the primary building blocks of life. Dirt! seeks out people—a physicist, an environmental education advocate, the founder of the slow food movement—who understand and appreciate the richness of soil in all its forms. Basically, this movie begins with the old saw “God made dirt, so dirt don’t hurt” and takes things a step further to show that dirt, in fact, made us.

What Would it Look Like (Saturday, June 20, 10:30pm) A film that looks to stimulate the mind as well as the eye and to widen the lens to look at the big picture. So yeah, one of those cool, trippy deals.

CASTLE THEATER (MACC) Adam (Thursday, June 18, 7:30pm) A romantic comedy about two people from different backgrounds who somehow come together and find love. Not exactly a genre-buster, but sometimes that’s OK.

The Cove

Automorphosis

(Saturday, June 20, 7:30pm) A based-on-a-true-story, Sundance award-winner about a dolphin trainer and a filmmaker who lead an expedition into a deep, dark cave to uncover a deeper, darker secret. Part-time Maui resident Richard Donner directs.

(Thursday, June 18, 8pm) Cars will change dramatically in the next couple of decades.

That’s a fact. What’s up for debate is how they’ll change, and more specifically what they’ll run on. This film proposes an outside-the-box (to say the least) solution that involves something called “smiles per gallon.”

SPECIAL HONOREES

Between the Folds (Thursday, June 18, 8pm) The intricate art of origami is explored, with psychedelic undertones. Sounds awesome.

(500) Days of Summer (Sunday, June 21, 7:30pm) After a January screening at Sundance, this flick has been gaining buzz as the Juno-style indie breakout of the year. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a greeting card writer who is, shockingly, not totally satisfied with his life. MFF honoree Zooey Deschanel plays an alluring woman who enters his life but doesn’t exactly make things easy. Sharp dialogue, cutting comedy (a scene involving the young couple, an Ikea bed and a Chinese family is not to be missed) and unexpected plot turns make this more than your average boymeets-girl tale.

Houston— We Have a Problem (Friday, June 19, 5pm) Neither Exxon propaganda nor knee-jerk enviro hysteria, this film promises to give the oil industry a fair, honest look, examining the ways that gooey black substance and its purveyors power the world even as they hold us back.

Unmistaken Child

Zooey Deschanel A rising indie favorite and star of the MFF feature (500) Days of Summer, Deschanel will receive the Nova Award.

Thursday, June 18, 8:30pm at SunDance Theater in Wailea.

(Friday, June 19, 8pm) The four-year search for the reincarnation of a powerful Tibetan maser who died in 2001 is chronicled with surprising and occasionally humorous results.

MCCOY THEATER (MACC) What About Me?

Blue Gold: World Water Wars (Thursday, June 18, 5pm) It’s long been said that the wars of the future would be fought over water. Well, the future is here. This important, timely doc takes a look at who’s controlling the world’s potable water supply and how they’re doing it (a Coca-Cola report quoted in the film ominously proclaims that the company is “redefining how consumers get hydrated”). In the end, Blue Gold points out how free market capitalism has co-opted even the most basic human necessities, and turned a substance that comprises three-quarters of the human body into a commodity. Thirsty?

(Sunday, June 21, 8pm) This new film from the makers of 1 Giant Leap takes throat singers, hip-hop artists, tribal Africans, gypsies and other eclectic types and unites them under the umbrella of global unity and shared humanity.

What sounds grandiose and perhaps even clichéd comes across as fresh, raw and deeply moving.

Ledward Ka‘apana and Willie K make appearances, lending the film a Hawaii connection that’s especially appropriate given the subject matter.

Willie Nelson The iconic troubadour who needs no introduction will be given the Maverick Award for a lifetime of singing—and living—against the grain. Friday, June 19, 9:30pm at Celestial Cinema in Wailea.

Hawaii 3D (Concludes every screening) Check out three-dimensional coral reefs and the cool, colorful creatures that inhabit them without having to strap on a snorkel. This 20-minute feature plays after every film at the McCoy Theater.

THIS WEEK’S PICKS Make mugs, not war

Day of surf

Friday (June 19), 6-8pm, Hui No’eau Arts Center, Makawao

Saturday (June 20), 8am-onward, Ho‘okipa/Paia Town

Remember in high school ceramics class (if you went to one of those public high schools that had “funding”), how there was that stoner who was always trying to sculpt a bong, then somehow sneak it into the kiln without the teacher noticing? In most cases these stealthy, diabolical schemes did not lead to thriving careers in the craft of bongery. A few may have seen beyond ceramics’ potential to create marijuana smoking and/or storage devices and gone on to produce creative pieces. This week marks the opening of the ceramic exhibition Altered Forms, which features off-key approaches to the craft and highlights local and national artists.

Friday’s reception offers food, drink and a chance to talk story with fellow art enthusiasts while strolling through the Hui gallery. I am, however, about 99.999 percent sure that the bong contingent will be entirely unrepresented, so take a good, long stare at the one in your medicine cabinet before you head out.

Exhibition runs through July 25.

When I go to the beach with my dad, it’s kind of mandatory that we pick up litter as we go along. It’s funny to see Dad, a right lawyerly old chap, clutching empty cans of Diet Pepsi and Keystone light as we walk along. In an ideal world, nobody would even think about trashing our beaches. But morons and douchewaffles do exist, unfortunately. This means that those of us sentient enough to notice a bottle or plastic bag lying on the beach are dutybound to help prevent those eyesores from getting swept out to sea. This is why Maui Surfrider Foundation is encouraging surfers, divers and other ocean enthusiasts to participate in a beach cleanup at Ho‘okipa. A barbecue and keiki surf lessons will follow. Those still wishing to party in a surf-themed way can mosey on down to Green Banana Cafe for some surf music and a killer surf art exhibit. If you still haven’t had your fill by beerthirty, hit up Charley’s for surf video and reggae music from Teomon and the Kryptones.

The kids are all right Saturday (June 20), 3-10pm, Cafe Marc Aurel, Wailuku The quote my eldest brother chose to display on his Facebook profile reads: “I have never eaten a booger and I never will. That’s my promise to you.” The brilliance of this declaration works on multiple levels, especially if one has years of anecdotal evidence to the contrary. Anyway, things are tough all over. Imagine being college-bound in this day and age, a time when many students face a shrinking job market and decades of debt, among other discouraging factors. But while the system leaves young, non-rich people high and dry, there are some entities that want to help. A case in point is Cafe Marc Aurel, which Saturday will host The Great Pursuit: A Fundraiser for Maui’s Future Starving Artists. This event will raise money for recent King Kekaulike High School grads, whose work will be on display and for sale. The event will also feature musical performances by some of said students. Minors are required to pay a $5 cover, and can partake of the buffet, while the event is free for the 21 and up crowd. Don’t you love the LC?

DAY

The weasel snagged our bee, man!

Mondays (June 22-July 13), 5:30-6:30pm, MCC Field Arguably one of the best films in which a white BMW convertible gets completely trashed is 1994’s PCU. A comedy that satirizes the political correctness that was sterilizing campus life in the early ’90s (by the time I got to college a decade later PC was a given), the movie is fraught with vital lessons, including an important pointer regarding wearing a T-shirt sporting a band’s logo to said band’s concert—don’t be that guy. It was this film that introduced me to one of the greatest competitive sports of all time: ultimate frisbee. It has got to be one of the most exhilarating and addictive activities ever invented, and it seems to attract really cool people (and admittedly a few hippies).

It’s played in a manner similar to that of football, with a few key variations (no running with the disc, for example).

This week, VITEC is launching a course in ultimate, taught by one Justine “the Machine” Hura, who is one of the best players I’ve seen. At $34, this is a steal. Note: This is a by-therules deal, so you can’t send Blotter onto the field should a hippie on your team forget what was going on. Call 9843231 to register.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Here you go. What do you mean, “what is it?” It’s an invisible jet, of course. Yes, I know you’ll look ridiculous flying around in it. Does that mean you don’t want it? If possibly embarrassing yourself will keep you from exercising every resource at your disposal, you might as well give up now. There’s a shitload of fun to be had with an invisible jet and the other slightly less than optimal advantages you have available to you. See if you can focus on enjoying them, instead of on the details that don’t fit your idea of perfection.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Be aggressive. It’s better than being passive-aggressive, which is pretty much your only other option here. These feelings of yours demand expression, one way or another. They simply won’t be kept locked up. So you can act on then directly and openly, which might make you look like kind of a dick, but at least it’s honest. Or you can vent them in subtle and indirect ways, which will make you be a total dick—just not as obviously. So which is it going to be? Do you want to appear nice but actually be a sneaky bitch?

Or look bitchy, but open the option to truly move on? I hope you can tell where my vote is going.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Even rich kids who haven’t been coddled and spoiled by their parents still know the money’s there.

They know that if the chips are down, Mommy or Daddy will step in to help them take care of those hospital bills or post bail or whatever. It’s different navigating life without any safety net; it’s much easier to walk a tightrope knowing a tumble won’t break your leg or your neck. However, even that risk (which might be present this week, when you discover that your safety net isn’t as secure or foolproof as you thought) shouldn’t keep you from doing what you want.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Sometimes the condom has a hole, or the airbag doesn’t deploy, or the parachute doesn’t open.

Accidents happen. There’s no one to blame, except—if you’re being especially judgmental—the person taking the risk in the first place. Wasting a whole bunch of time pointing fingers or trying to find someone upon whom to pin a shitload of anger and blame is really stupid and juvenile. Yes, I know you want somewhere to put all that crap. However, you don’t have the right to just dump this wherever you want, just because you’re distraught. Vent it somewhere appropriate.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) While doing something you weren’t supposed to be doing—digging through your lover’s email, for instance—you discover something you weren’t supposed to find out about. In this scenario, most people would do the conniving and twisted manipulative thing; that is, strive to expose the lie (or hidden truth) without ever revealing their own indiscretions. That, my friend, is some seriously lame bullshit. Their screw-up doesn’t justify yours. If you want to call them out on what they did, be an adult and call yourself out for what you did. Either that, or let the two “sins” cancel each other out and forget any of it ever happened.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Whether this surprise is more a pleasure or a hassle doesn’t matter; it’s what’s happening. Even if it’s not the delight it was intended to be, play pretend. The thought does count, or it should, especially when it’s mostly your own baggage that’s keeping it from truly being the joy it was meant to be. That’s no one’s fault, but I do believe your emotional luggage has already kept you from going to some pretty interesting and wonderful places. When are you going to ditch it? Now would be a pretty good time. If that’s not possible, at least stash it somewhere out of sight for a little while and do your best to enjoy this particularly sweet moment. You can go back to hauling your crap around afterwards, if you must.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Cram enough skeletons into your closet and you may have trouble closing the door. I don’t know that you need to share everything that’s ever happened to you when you become intimate with someone— some things are truly dead and buried, and better off staying that way. But when your problems may come knocking or lurking, it’s probably better to ‘fess up before they do. Got a few ghosts still haunting your life? Make some introductions and control the story before it breaks on its own. Fail to do that, and you may have a few new skeletons moving in with the old ones before too long.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) While you are certainly within your rights to deliver a truth brutally (and that would still be kinder than perpetuating a lie), would you consider breaking the news gently instead? Kindness hasn’t necessarily been your strong suit, traditionally, I know. Try to dredge up some compassion, anyway, even if this particular fool doesn’t especially deserve it. What goes around comes around, remember? Put yourself in their shoes—in itself a difficult task, considering the circumstances—and give them the treatment you’d like if this were your news to receive. Someday that may actually be the case, and karma can be a cold bitch.

– – “Na– ‘Oiwi ‘Olino – People Seeking Wisdom” 6:30a.m. – 9a.m. weekday mornings on

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Unicorns, for some reason, are associated with uniqueness; however, almost every image of them is pretty much like every other. There doesn’t seem to be anything particularly unique about them. Similarly, rainbows represent diversity, even though they’re all identical, with the colors in the same order and quantity every time. My point? The usefulness and accuracy of symbols and metaphor is very much in question this week. Don’t employ it. Instead of embracing analogy, just present things exactly as they are.

That’s more accurate, more acceptable, and just plain better in every way. Skip the fancy verbal footwork for when you might actually need it—right now, you’re better off without.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Imagine an honest-to-goodness extraterrestrial appeared to you, and only you, pleading for sanctuary and secrecy. On the one hand, granting its request seems like the right thing to do—who knows what we’d do to it otherwise? On the other hand, keeping it secret would be pretty harsh to the rest of your race—not only those to whom it could be a symbol of inspiration or hope, but also to those to whom it might (perhaps unwittingly) present a threat. There is no clear right or wrong to the situation you’ll find yourself in this week; I’m afraid you’ll just have to trust your gut, and keep seeking a happy middle ground.

It may not exist, but you’ll never know for sure unless you keep on looking for it.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Regarding the destruction of ideas, book-burning has never been particularly effective, and in this day and age, when you can store a million books on a device you can fit in your pocket, its just laughable. In fact, most efforts to suppress ideas has the opposite effect—it calls more attention to those ideas than they would have ever gotten, otherwise. Any press is good press, as they say. If you really want people to forget about something, the worst thing you can do is denounce it. If your aim is to keep people from paying attention to something, your best strategy is to ignore it—and make them pay attention to something else instead. I’ve heard you were good at creating entertaining distractions. This week, prove it.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Are you being as weird as you can be? This isn’t to suggest you should pretend to be someone you’re not, but you do have this tendency to downplay your eccentricities and try to play it as “normal” as possible, especially with people you don’t know well. News flash: for some of us, normal is very, very boring. Someone might decide you’re not even interesting enough to make an effort for. Don’t make the mistake of concocting idiosyncrasies just to make yourself seem more fascinating, but when trying to make a first (or second) impression, don’t hide the ones you actually have.
