WORD FROM A MONSANTO FAN

What the hell are you lookin’ at?

Your recent article denouncing Monsanto Hawai’i does a great disservice to the Maui community, as well as to farmers worldwide (“Corn Pone?” June 23, 2005).

It seems clear that the writer attended the Chamber of Commerce’s tour of Monsanto Hawai’i’s Kihei farm fully intending to write a biased and sensational story before he even got there—hardly objective or professional journalism.

I attended the same event, and the article of June 23 quotes statements out of context or leaves out important information. For instance, the story notes that genetically modified corn seeds cost more than conventional varieties, but it fails to mention why farmers are buying them at the higher prices anyway. It’s because the newer seeds helps farmers gain better yields on their crops and spend significantly less on chemical pesticides. No wonder biotech crops continue to be planted in greater acreages year after year (one billion acres worldwide now).

The writer only refers to reports by anti biotechnology groups, and chose to ignore the many studies published by scientists around the world that confirm how biotechnology is helping farmers protect the environment by using less pesticides when they grow their crops (Monsanto claimed 59 million pounds less of pesticide were applied last year due to planting crops naturally resistant to pests).

Not mentioned in the story are the positions of well-respected authorities such as the American Medical Association, American College of Nutrition, the National Academy of Sciences, the Food and Drug Administration, the American Farm Bureau, The Royal Academy of Sciences in the United Kingdom, the French Academy of Medicine, and even the Vatican—all of which have come out in support of biotech crops’ excellent health record and numerous positive contributions to our world.

I would like to thank Monsanto Hawai’i

and the Maui Chamber of Commerce for hosting the farm tour and helping us learn about and embrace their miraculous new technology.

-Orion “Ori” Kopelman, President, Global Brain, Inc., Kula Anthony Pignataro responds: Mr. Kopelman accepts Monsanto’s claim that GMO crops lead to farmers spraying fewer pesticides. In fact, the Union of Concerned Scientists—staffed and run by well-respected authorities—has reported that pesticide use has increased because of GMOs. My story also dealt rather extensively with pro-GMO organizations mentioned during the tour like the United Nations and the United Kingdom government.

But my story also explained what wasn’t said during the tour: that these organizations say that while GMOs don’t seem to pose any health risks to human beings, not all the evidence was in. And that was basically the point of my story—to find out how Monsanto’s claims made during the June 9, 2005 tour stack up against other, more independent scientific studies.

Mountain Man Haleakala Park Superintendent Don Reeser hangs up his hat

Maui Time Weekly: Who influenced your career?

Don Reeser: Stuart Udall, the Secretary of the Interior under Presidents [John] Kennedy and [Lyndon] Johnson who commissioned the [1963] Leopold Report influenced how I perceived resource management.

Aldo Leopold, the author of the Sand County Almanac and the father of wildlife ecology influenced me. His “Land Ethic” helped set the stage for the modern conservation movement.

My father helped me appreciate nature. As a hunter and fisherman he was concerned about wildlife and the environment.

Demonstration Program was enacted which allows each park to keep 80 percent of its entrance fees to pay for special projects.

This program allows Haleakala National Park to take in $2.5 million a year for new projects such as the restrooms at the summit, trail improvements in the crater and improvements to Kipahulu campground.

What are some of the challenges you fought as Superintendent?

PHOTO: CHERYL AMBROZIC-MOOZ

After 17 years on the job, Haleakala National Park’s Superintendent Don Reeser is hanging up his wide-brimmed, dented ranger hat. On July 23, he’ll retire, closing a 40-year career with the National Park Service (NPS).

Reeser’s towering stature, broad smile and gentle mannerisms bring to mind Yogi Bear, but in Ranger Smith’s uniform. But instead of stealing pic-a-nic baskets, Reeser made sure the natural bounty within Haleakala National Park was kept safe.

Reeser’s environmental conviction began with his youth in Oregon. Spending countless hours in the countryside with his father helped him develop his attachment to nature.

Reeser began his career in 1963, when the NPS was moving towards a more ecologically based management. Park officials were broadening their scope from merely providing recreational opportunities to treating the parks as ecosystems needing preservation and protection. The NPS began restoring critical vegetation, rescuing endangered species and reviving ecological balance. This became the foundation of Reeser’s conservation ethos.

But now he’s looking forward to relaxing and making homemade wine, growing coffee and beekeeping. Reeser is especially passionate about his three beehives and honey. He recently harvested 40 pounds of his “Don-Bunny” honey (named for himself and his wife) from his upcountry hives.

I recently sat down Reeser in his office tucked away on Haleakala’s misty mountain slope. As we drank cups of homegrown coffee and ate roasted chocolate espresso beans, he reflected on how he got the job as Superintendent of Haleakala National Park and what is yet to come.

Reeser, hatless

Is the National Park Service’s future secure?

I believe the NPS’ mission actually binds this nation together. The NPS mission of preserving resources and making them available to the public is secure. NPS’ mission and goals should be perpetuated as long as this nation survives—these are very important natural and cultural sites.

How has Haleakala National Park faired under the Bush Administration?

We’ve received small increases for law enforcement, wastewater treatment for the new summit restroom and staff salaries but overall the park is experiencing eroding budgets due to inflation. We need additional money for land acquisitions.

If [Al] Gore or [John] Kerry would have been elected I speculate the park would be better off.

Gore had a greater commitment to the environment. For example, under the Clinton/Gore Administration the beneficial Fee

One of the biggest challenges was stopping the extension of Kahului Airport. This extension would have brought in foreign flights and more alien species. Maui’s facilities for interdicting alien spices were, and still are, inadequate. We spend half our working budget combating the alien species problem. We can work till the cows come home taking out invasive species in the park, but if new ones keep coming into Maui, the fight is hopeless.

Miconia is the greatest threat to the park. It grows quickly and can take over the forest.

Currently, all the agencies combined are spending about $800,000 a year to combat this aggressive plant. We need to double that budget in order to make any headway.

The new Superferry presents a big challenge. Cars from other islands will be traveling over Maui dropping foreign pests and seeds into our ecosystem.

gram in Kipahulu]. I’m anxious to see the cooperative agreement continue.

I feel strongly about involving the native Hawaiian community in the park, allowing them to farm on parkland, build hales, plant native plants and provide an educational experience for visitors though this living history program.

Kipahulu is relatively sterile without this living history.

Instead of just being known as a swimming hole, I’d like the Kipahulu area to become a place where people can go and have a real cultural experience—a place where people can see what the area and the people were like prior to Captain Cook’s arrival. MTW

Cunning Lingle

What are you most proud of?

My focus has always been on preserving natural resources. I’m proud of keeping this momentum going to protect the park’s native ecosystems. We can always build a new building or pave a road but we can’t replace an extinct plant or bird.

I’m proud of the air-tour management agreement that we worked out with the commercial helicopters companies. Before this agreement, the helicopters were constantly flying over Haleakala Crater, destroying the pristine wilderness experience. With this informal agreement, helicopters no longer fly over the crater.

Adding new parkland to Haleakala National Park has been an accomplishment. Working in partnership with private landowners and the Nature Conservancy, the Conservation Fund and Trust for Public Lands, the park has accumulated almost 6,000 additional acres.

I’m proud of my involvement and relationship with Kipahulu Ohana [the Hawaiian nonprofit group developing a living history pro-

WHAT GOVERNOR LINDA LINGLE SAID IN A JUNE 28, 2005 ASSOCIATED PRESS STORY: “I don’t like to override the Legislature’s work. They spend a lot of time on these bills… But the public counts on the governor stepping in when there’s something wrong with the bills.”

WHAT SHE DIDN’T SAY: In 2003, Lingle vetoed a couple bills that even her fellow Republicans supported. One was against a bill loathed by developers that would have made it easier for people to farm on agricultural lands. Another killed a million-dollar appropriation for a statewide air ambulance on the grounds that it would put too much liability on the state. “That is way too bad,” then-Republican legislator Brian Blundell told The Maui News at the time.

“She wasn’t supposed to veto that one.”

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29 It’s Week 156 in the great Try To Piss Off U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka (D, Hawai’i) Contest and the entries are just pouring in. The latest appears in today’s Pacific Business News and concerns Akaka’s “opposition” to some of his colleagues’ plan to further emasculate the federal Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which is supposed to regulate publicly traded corporations. “To be more effective, the [SEC] boards must be strengthened and made to be more independent,” Akaka told the paper.

Unbelievable. The Bush Administration is actually trying to demolish the SEC from within, and Akaka is using words like “effective.” Have you seen Chris Cox, the Republican congressman from Orange County, California who is slated to take over the SEC? That guy never met a tycoon he didn’t like. He’s spent his congressional years creating loopholes for corporations, getting rid of corporate disclosure requirements and making it tougher for shareholders to sue companies that screw over investors. He’s also put together tax breaks for companies that move their operations overseas. Yeah, Akaka’s worried about the SEC being “effective.” Maybe he should concentrate on it staying “existent.”

THURSDAY, JUNE 30 Well, it’s finally happened. We all knew this day would come, yet precious few of us made adequate preparations. Now we all have to face the consequences for our lapses. Really, we are all victims of our own hubris—our unwavering views that life here was somehow different from everywhere

else on the planet, and that problems and troubles that plague the rest of the world would never reach our tranquil shores. I’m speaking of course of the decision to have officials from the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) begin screening all passengers flying out of Kapalua Airport. Well, all passengers flying planes capable of carrying at least 19 passengers, but you get the idea. No more will that terminal—such as it is—have the laid-back feel of a Midwestern bus depot. No more just letting anyone roam through the terminal while waiting for the plane to land. Perhaps this even means the end of their easy and efficient baggage claim system of simply pointing to your bag on the cart so the airline guy can pick it up and hand it to you.

TSA officials are actually saying the new security procedures could add “10 to 15 minutes” to travelers’ waiting times. Astounding.

In yet another sign that government is selling its soul to private industry, the University of Hawai’i has announced a catalog of “naming rights”—stuff all over the university that, for the right amount of money, will be named after somebody. “If you’re a Punahou alum or if you went to USC or Harvard, everything is named,” UH Foundation president Donna Vuchinich told the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, apparently forgetting that all those schools are private and UH is public. In any case, the Star-Bulletin was nice enough to publish the naming rights catalog in today’s paper. Items range in cost from a paltry $1,000 to get a seat in the Paliku Theatre named after you or someone you love to the $7 million needed to name the Phase I building housing the Culinary Institute of the Pacific. Names for just about everything are for sale over at the already-named John Burns School of Medicine: Center for Clinical Skills ($2 million); Auditorium ($2 million); Computer lab/classroom ($500,000) Reception areas ($35,000) and even the outdoor lanai ($1 million).

Mike Honda reflects the Democrats’ war anxieties The poster was just a few steps from the door of the Maui Beach Hotel’s Elleair Rainbow Room. Big and colorful, it depicted a laughing donkey riding a surfboard while a volcano erupted in the background. Across the top and bottom were the words “Blue Hawaii” and “Keep it Blue,” respectively, with “Riding the Pipeline to Democratic Paradise” emblazoned over the image. It cost $15.

It was a strange thing to see walking into a discussion on the future of the painfully weak Democratic Party. As most people who don’t dwell in caves know by now, the national party got its ass kicked in the November, 2004 presidential and congressional elections.

But on July 5, the day after the nation celebrated its 229th birthday, the party faithful gathered at a luncheon sponsored by the Maui County Democratic Party.

About a hundred people paid $25 a head to eat a good spread of beef, mahi, salad, chow mein, rice, steamed vegetables and lots of pie while listening to California congressman Mike Honda (D, San Jose),

Iraq impeachable?” asked one attendee.

At first, Honda wavered. He said the Democratic leadership is “trying to be logical and taking it step by step.” Then he argued that the media was falling down on the job by refusing to write about things like the “Downing Street Memo”—the 2002 British secret service report that seems to show Bush had long planned to conquer Iraq. But then, almost as an afterthought, Honda said something new about whether Bush’s pre-war lies constituted a high crime.

“My personal opinion?” he asked himself rhetorically. “Yeah.”

The remark drew the crowd’s sharpest and heartiest applause of the afternoon and shows that at the grass roots level, the war in Iraq is where the Democrats need to confront Bush.

It’s a welcome change. During the 2004 campaign, the war rarely came up. When it did, Bush repeated a mantra about staying the course while Senator John Kerry fumbled statements about getting the facts. In the end, more people in the country opted for Bush’s certainty—mindless though it was—than Kerry’s ambivalence.

“ARE THE ACTIONS OF PRESIDENT BUSH IN IRAQ IMPEACHABLE?” ASKED ONE ATTENDEE. who also works as vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

The crowd gave Honda three standing ovations, including one before he’d even said a word. Honda spoke for about 20 minutes, then spent another 20 minutes answering questions.

Honda walked to the lectern to do two things. First, make sure the Hawai’i Democrats—who actually strengthened their hold over the state legislature in 2004—understood that the national party would not take their organization for granted. Second, and more importantly, he had to tell local activists that the national party was reforming itself in the wake of its poor showing against incumbent President George W. Bush.

“You cannot capture the White House without grass roots,” he said, quoting party chairman Howard Dean. “We need to invest in local folks.”

While Honda spoke of how the Republican Party is ruining health care, Medicare, Social Security and the federal budget, he steered clear of any discussion of the war in Iraq. Indeed, it’s doubtful he would have said a word about it—the single most important and divisive issue in the U.S. today—had someone not asked about it.

It was a dangerous calculation for the Democrats: ignore the war—and the huge group of party loyalists who think the invasion and occupation are insane—or risk looking weak in the face of Republican authority. Not only didn’t it work, but it also ended up alienating Democrats who wanted an actual Iraq alternative to Bush’s everything-is-fine rhetoric.

In the July 4, 2005 New Yorker, George Packer wrote about how this line of thinking infuriated Democrat Chris Frosheiser of Des Moines, a man whose son Kurt died in the war’s first year. “[V]ery little was said to me, a loyal Democrat, by leading Democrats, about Kurt’s service,” Frosheiser emailed Packer on Aug. 28, 2004. “I had expressed an interest in talking to [Democratic Vice Presidential candidate John] Edwards about Kurt’s service. It was never arranged. I thought someone like Edwards should speak to someone who lost a child in combat… John Kerry did send a card to both Jeanie and me, but I really think there is an ill-at-ease sense among activist Democrats about the ‘warriors’ because of opposition to the war.”

People like Frosheiser are exactly the “grass roots” party officials like Honda need to listen to. The war, now and four years from now, is where the fight is. Until party leaders see that, nothing will change in Washington. MTW

The device folds around the penis with microscopic hooks and, once engaged, requires medical intervention to remove. It may also incidentally inhibit the transmission of HIV. Critics call it impractical (since one must be worn constantly) and barbaric, and a distraction from other solutions to the rape crisis. The devices are expected to be available in pharmacies starting in July, for one rand each (about 15 cents).

FINER POINTS OF LAW Registered sex offender James Andrew Crawford, 35, was arrested in May in Perris, Calif., after having camped for two weeks in a theater line that was waiting for Star Wars: Episode III to open.

According to a Riverside County deputy sheriff, Crawford was in violation of a state law that requires sex offenders to notify the government if they adopt a new “domicile” for more than five days.

METHAMPHETAMINE BLUES

IRONIES

Dentists interviewed for a June New York Times story said they are increasingly seeing patients who are addicted to the caustic methamphetamine chemicals and who demonstrate “meth mouth” in which healthy teeth turn grayish-brown and (according to the Times) “begin to fall out, and take on a peculiar texture less like that of hard enamel and more like that of a piece of ripened fruit.”

And in March in Carthage, Tenn., Scott Stewart was sentenced to eight years in prison for running a home meth lab, despite his insistence that his goal was mainly to ensure that his meth was “safe” from the harmful chemicals other makers were putting into their products.

The South Carolina House’s Judiciary Committee, voting in mid-April on two bills to upgrade the crimes of, respectively, gamecock fighting and spousal abuse, from misdemeanors to felonies, passed the former but tabled the latter for the remainder of 2005.

And Jerry Adams, deputy finance commissioner of Tennessee, was stranded for 13 hours in an elevator in the state Capitol in May without the use of the emergency telephone because the phone’s line had been disconnected over the state’s nonpayment of the bill.

CULTURAL DIVERSITY Chinese men smoke cigarettes at twice the rate U.S. men do, according to a June dispatch from Guiyang by Toronto’s Globe and Mail, and that includes an estimated 60 percent of male Chinese doctors, with about 90 percent of the men believing that smoking is either not harmful or actually healthful.

Implicated in these beliefs is the government, whose cigarette monopoly sells 1.8 trillion units a year—at the equivalent of about 25 cents (U.S.) a pack—and apparently disseminates its own feel-good messages about smoking, despite also requiring small health warnings on the package.

OFFENDED! Organizers of the June 28 re-enactment of the 1805 Battle of Trafalgar, near Portsmouth, England (in which Britain’s Admiral Nelson soundly defeated French and Spanish ships), have decided to remove all references to the defeated nations, calling the mock battle one

ADVENTURES IN FOIL Anthony Hudson, 43, a former city council candidate and a host of a cable TV program, was arrested in a disturbance in Akron, Ohio, in April; he was covered in silver Mylar foil, wearing an athletic supporter over his trousers, and calling himself the “King of Egypt.” And housing authorities in Sacramento, Calif., ordered the D’Souzas on Timberwood Court to take down the sheets of aluminum they had placed around their home to stop the neighbors from allegedly bombarding them with radio waves, which they say had given them headaches, lupus and other illnesses. A Code Enforcement spokesman said there was also foil aplenty covering the inside of the house.

In May, sheriff’s deputies in Albuquerque arrested four men on drug-trafficking charges with the inadvertent help of the 2-year-old son of one of the men, according to an Albuquerque Journal story. The father had accidentally locked his keys and his son inside his Cadillac SUV, and the boy had used the OnStar emergency button, which generated a phone call to the sheriff, and deputies arrived to find the father still pleading for his son to unlock the door (which OnStar eventually opened electronically). Deputies became suspicious at all the late-night hubbub and in a consensual search of a nearby trailer belonging to another of the men, found 1,700 pounds of marijuana.

Scott A. Keller filed a lawsuit in March against the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, claiming he was seriously injured when a wall-mounted toilet at a rest stop collapsed, sending him to the floor, causing whiplash and other injuries to his neck and back. And John Jenkins, 53, filed a lawsuit in Morgantown, W.Va., in June against the general contractor Chisler Inc. and another company, claiming that a portable toilet at a construction site exploded while he was using it (due to leaking methane gas underneath, which his cigarette ignited). Jenkins said he suffered severe burns to his face, neck, arms, torso and legs. MTW

We’re Looking for a Few Boring Dorks The engineer shortage made easy Have you ever noticed (to paraphrase a famously vulgar George Carlin joke) that the people who want you to become a scientist are the last ones who’d want to work as one themselves? New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman has lately been pimping a book that bemoans the decreasing influence of the United States in the hard sciences.

“For the first time in our history,” Friedman quotes Harvard president Lawrence Summers as telling him, “we are going to face competition from lowwage, high-human-capital communities, embedded within India, China and Asia.”

Friedman riffs: “We can’t rely on importing the talent we need anymore—not in a flat world where people can now innovate without having to emigrate... There is a real sense of urgency in India and China about ‘catching up’ in talent-building. America, by contrast, has become rather complacent.”

What’s lamentable about this latest why-do-our-kids-suck-at-math handwringing is that too many Americans are coming away from the conversation with the message that we’re losing an intellectual arms race because our young men and women are lazy, stupid or both. As a recent study of high school kids in 26 states showed, 22 percent of entering college freshmen are required to take remedial math classes. Math and science have become lower priorities in the secondary educational system.

But there’s a good reason that fewer young Americans are pursuing careers in the sciences: the jobs suck. Take engineers for example. The major employers are amoral, the coworkers are dull and employment is sporadic. A job’s rewards are commensurate to its social status, which, in the case of careers in the sciences, is dropping.

A Harris Poll found that public perception of engineers ranks rock-bottom—just above congressmen and lawyers. The era of the scientist-celebrity died with Albert Einstein, subsumed by a money-grubbing anti-intellectualism whose stars recite other people’s scripts and chase balls across a field.

Pressured by my parents to choose a major “that trains you for a job,” I spent the first three of my undergraduate years at Columbia University as an applied physics major at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. A disproportionate percent of the student body was composed of foreign nationals, but they weren’t the only ones allowed to graduate without enough knowledge of English to compose a cover letter. My

LC Watch Collective Punishment

Somebody wants this dork classmates’ single-minded dedication to their studies came at the expense of reading the newspaper, listening to music and campus activism. Engineering students were widely— and accurately—regarded as boring careerists.

Visits to the Career Services office reinforced the grim picture of life as a scientist. I knew I’d need a high-paying job to pay off my student loans after graduation. Dow Chemical, Monsanto, General Electric—all the decent offerings required spilling brain cells on the machinery of mass death on behalf of defense contractors.

An ex-girlfriend who’d graduated a couple of years before me worked as a physicist for a company that was secretly developing genetically modified organisms for use in internationally banned biological weapons. She was assigned to a team trying to perfect longrange lasers to incinerate cities and towns from the sky.

“We’re all sinners,” I remember lecturing her over beers one night, “and we all do things we regret. But if there’s a hell I’m positive that anyone who does what you do will be on the express elevator, going down.”

Not much has changed. “But it’s not just defense contractors that are hiring engineers,” promises GraduatingEngineer.com. “The military... is also looking for a few good engineers and computer science grads to hire.”

Just after I learned enough about nuclear fission to make me someone Saddam would have liked to meet, I got myself thrown out of college. My engineering classes were too boring to keep my interest and too hard besides.

But I’ve come to believe that I sabotaged my studies because I was depressed by the thought of working for those monsters alongside idiots. Wall Street, which cared less about my B.A. than my I.Q., paid my rent until I returned to Columbia a few years later as a history major.

Since then I’ve heard from my former engineering school classmates. None were close to starving, but even those who went on to obtain masters degrees and doctorates were laid off when government contracts expired and projects were canceled.

And my brilliant ex-girlfriend? She was pushed out the door when her fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent error caused an expensive defense satellite to reenter the atmosphere and burn up, had trouble finding work elsewhere.

Americans believe in a lot of screwy things—our nation is a shining city on a hill, the slave-holding founders of 1776 were better than us, Neil Diamond is a “good” musician—but collective punishment isn’t one of them. No, we Americans pretty much believe that only the person who actually committed a crime ought to be punished.

For the Maui County Department of Liquor Control, things are a bit different. There, not only do employees face criminal charges for serving alcohol to minors and such, but their bosses face stiff fines, license suspension and even revocation for allowing such behavior in their premises.

The latest example of this concerns Wailuku’s Main Street Station, a Lower Main karaoke and sports bar. On Mar. 12, 2005, between the hours of 9 p.m. and 12:15 a.m., the bar allegedly served a customer who was already drunk.

In the LC’s world, this single event equals three charges. First, that Main Street Station sold, served, furnished or allowed a drunk to consume booze. Second, that establishment staff “fail[ed] to exercise due care” in checking to see if the customer in question was drunk. And third, simply allowing a drunk inside the premises. Main Street Station’s case comes up July 7, and the board agenda shows that the bar is pleading no contest to all three counts.

This is what happened to Bob Idini back in October, 2004. And it’s why Idini himself is out of the booze business. Repeated charges of over-serving customers—who then drove drunk, got into accidents and injured or killed people—led the Board of Adjudication to revoke his license.

It’s just how the LC does it.

Granted, the Department is in the process of reviewing all it’s Liquor Rules, but if licensees and residents don’t step forward and make noise, nothing’s going to change.

Steve Cooney Lives

Henry Ford recognized the utility of the hemp plant. He constructed a car of resin stiffened hemp fiber and ran the car on ethanol made from hemp.

PHOTO: EPES SARGENT

In a new film by Kaleo Roberson Steve Cooney was a longtime friend and inspiration to many a Ho’okipa ripper. He died in a car accident in the fall of 2004 at the age of 30, and today you don’t have to drive far on Maui’s North Shore to see “Cooney” stickers stuck on all sorts of vehicles. His style of surfing demanded attention and his friendly nature made him friends everywhere he went.

“After knowing and surfing with Steve for almost 20 years, from Honomanu to Honolua bay, I know I speak for many when I say he is definitely missed,” said local surfer and filmmaker Kaleo Roberson. “But his memory will continue to inspire people like he inspired me.”

In fact, Roberson was so inspired that he dedicated his new movie Ballin’ on a Budget to Cooney. The film also contains many shots of Cooney tearing it up all across the island, leaving an indelible mark on the surfing community.

Ballin’ on a Budget is the creation of Roberson and his photography team of Graham Cromitter, Dennis Early and Kaipo Porgatorio. It will premiere this

weekend at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center.

The film features sick coverage of Jaws and Pipeline as well as some impressive footage all over Hawai’i, Indonesia, Tahiti and California.

Basically, it packs in the excitement and thrills of surfing at its best.

When I asked what the best part of making this film was, Roberson said simply, “Living at the Volcom house on the North Shore five months out of the year.”

Also starring in this film are the talents of many surfers who have been entertaining us for years, as well as the up and coming professionals. Some of the featured surfers include Tom Dosland, Ian Walsh, the Irons brothers, Dusty Payne, Nalu Wallace, Granger Larsen, Shane Dorian and Kai Barger.

Many of the surfers featured in Ballin’ first appeared in the 2002 film Easily Amused, which Roberson also made. This is understandable considering the wealth of talent which graces the beaches of the north shore every winter and the proximity to Pipeline created a perfect environment for capturing these extreme moments.

Easily Amused was inspired by the untime-

Surf in Paia; Ho’okipa Beach Park and the MACC box office. ly deaths of surfers like Eric Diaz and Justin Roberson—Kaleo’s brother. Justin’s budding career was ended abruptly by a car accident.

That film is a loaded with footage from Maui, including Ma’alaea, Ho’okipa, Honolua Bay and all over Lahaina.

Roberson and his photographers are currently working on the next film. They’ve already shot some footage of the nationals in California. With winter approaching, every day holds the possibility of producing the next sick sequence or wave.

“Be persistent and never give up,” Roberson told me. “Do something everyday. This could be your last day to have fun!” MTW

FreetheSun Why is the state of Hawai’i making it difficult to go solar?

I once had a chance to move into a solar paneled Aframe down in Huelo. It was a novel idea at the time, until I remembered how much it rains in Huelo. I pictured blackouts—long, dark days without the luxury of my electric toothbrush or MTV’s Pimp My Ride to keep me company. It sent me running right back to the electric grid, where I thought I belonged.

Still, I always admired those solar people as the renegades they are. I pictured brave, anti-establishment types who say no thanks to the old hand-to-mouth from the utility. Instead, they choose the sun—living off the land, liberated, undoubtedly doing other noble deeds. Long ago, I decided that anyone who generates his or her own juice is okay by me.

Solar is so old it seems new. It’s been around since seventh century B.C., when people were using glass and sunlight to light a fire. Today’s sophisticated solar technologies include everything from sun-powered lights to buildings to vehicles. You may not be able to buy your own “green” car right now, but it seems like anyone can have a home or business run by the sun.

A PEAKING PROBLEM I’ve heard it said that our way of life is on a collision course with geology—given the fact that the Earth holds a finite supply of oil, and we humans—like blind, starving pups—have nearly sucked the poor teats dry.

Here’s a simplified version of the issue:

12

JULY 7, 2005

COVER STORY

As the amount of oil continues to decline, the demand for oil keeps rising. Not in one of those gentle curves you see on a line graph, but in a steep, vicious spike. Our seemingly endless flow of crude oil will ultimately top out— peaking at a point where supply can no longer meet the demand. It could be one year from now or 30, but it’s coming. The peak is coming.

Even the petroleum companies have quietly confessed there’s a problem. In its recent energy outlook report, Exxon Mobil Corporation predicted an “imminent” oil plateau. Its forecast? Five years.

No oil company in their right mind has ever discussed oil peak before. This is akin to Philip Morris campaigning that cigarettes cause cancer. Still, it seems the public is hard-pressed to pay attention. Maybe environmental dooms-dayers have cried wolf too many times.

No one may know exactly when the peak will happen, but we do know a few facts, courtesy of the latest Bulletin of Atomic Scientists: •The world uses about 27 billion barrels of oil per year, meaning the 112 billion barrels (the proven oil reserves of Iraq) will last a little more than four years at the rate we’re going.

•As the underdeveloped world industrializes, demand for oil will go up exponentially. China and India, for example, are now building superhighways and automo-

bile factories—transforming themselves and their billions of residents into car-based cultures.

Oil is not a renewable resource, and we can’t keep producing something that just isn’t there. This isn’t in our science fiction Star Wars future. Nor is it a problem we can simply pass off to the next generation. It’s now, in our lifetimes. And some people don’t want to wait around for Mother Nature to slap us on the wrists and say “Bad, humans. Bad.”

ON LOCAL TERMS Because the Hawaiian Islands are isolated, they rely more on added fossil fuels than, say, our connected neighbors. Maui generates 94 percent of its energy through imported fossil fuels (namely, oil). The remaining 6 percent of its energy comes from bagasse, the waste produced from sugar cane (yes, that sweet Kahului aroma we call home).

When the peak hits, we, like the rest of the world, can expect drastic oil shortages, price surges and well, general economic holy hell. “The oil peak will no doubt have an incalculable effect on our lives,” said Marco Mangelsdorf, Ph.D. and president of ProVision Technologies in Hilo, who has been involved with renewable energy in Hawai’i since 1981.

But, perhaps unlike other states, we don’t need to peer into a looking glass—we’re already feeling the pinch.

Hawai’i has the highest electricity rates in the country.

Consistently, the state holds the leading three spots for highest utilities per county as well—ranking at Kauai, the Big Island and Maui, in that order. Morevoer, within the last two years, the costs of electricity on Maui have increased 52 percent.

Renewable energy—like solar, wind and hydroelectric power—is the cheapest, cleanest way to extend the world’s energy supplies, and lower the costs of electricity.

You would think that the state and the utility would be aggressive in promoting renewable energy solutions—and it has, but only in some areas.

Most recently, the state and utility have agreed to let Kaheawa Wind Power build a wind energy project (the largest in the state) at Ukumehame by early 2006. The new wind farm is expected to produce about nine percent of Maui Electric Co.’s total power.

In addition, the state has one of the largest solar hot water programs in the nation—about 14,000 systems.

Since 1996, the utility has paid more than $13.5 million in rebates to Hawai’i residents who have installed solar hot water systems.

But renewable advocates say that there’s much more to be done. “The state and the utility have done a great job at promoting solar hot water,” said Matias Besasso, of the Paia-based Rising Sun Solar. “But they could do a lot more in terms of promoting net metering to residential and commercial customers.”

These days, going solar doesn’t mean going off the grid.

A net-metered solar electric system, one that’s still attached to the utility grid, allows your electricity meter to spin backward when your system produces more energy than it uses. Your electric meter measures the “net” difference between what you produced and what you used. If your system is designed and sized properly, you can produce as much energy as you use and achieve what’s called a “net zero” on your electric bill.

Unlike solar hot water systems, which simply store heat from the sun, solar electric systems (PV) actually convert sunlight into electricity.

Last year alone, there were more than 4,000 netmetered solar systems installed in California. In Hawai’i, there were 23—for a grand total of 69, statewide.

“Something is wrong with this picture,” said Mangelsdorf.

Of course, there are many solutions to the complicated energy problem, and solar is just one of them. But solar electric users are finding that they can reduce the energy demand—and save cash at the same time.

GOOD BUSINESS SENSE Business owner David Spee turned the solar switch ON this past May. Tired of his rising electric bills, Spee, with the help of Rising Sun Solar, installed solar electric panels (PV) on the roof of his Paia attorney’s office on Baldwin Ave.—the first business on the North Shore to do so. Spee joins the ranks among a small number of businesses that have converted to net-metered solar electric, including Island Dodge and Harley Davidson, both in Kahului.

According to Spee, it was the numbers that sold him.

“With the tax credits available, solar electric makes good business sense. Within six years, my system will have paid for itself. The system has a life expectancy of 25 years—which means I just bought myself 19 years of free electricity.”

Companies that invest in solar electric and other forms of renewable energy are eligible for tax advantages, such as a Corporate Tax Credit of 35 percent off the cost of the system, a Federal Energy Tax Credit of 10 percent, and federal and state accelerated depreciation—allowing most businesses to recover their investment within four to six years. (For more, visit www.hawaii.gov/dbedt/ert/taxcredit.html or www.dsire.org.)

The wide availability of incentives isn’t well known to consumers, partly because utilities aren’t always eager to advertise them. After all, more solar electric users could

mean less revenue for them.

Yet, a new law signed June 3, 2004 by Governor Linda Lingle calls for the utility companies in Hawai’i to generate 10 percent of their energy through renewable sources by 2010—and 20 percent of by 2020.

Lingle noted that the new law won’t work if both the electric company and the state don’t cooperate. “The bill has a lot of escape hatches, if everyone’s intentions are not good,” she said.

In other words, there’s no penalty if the utility companies don’t reach this goal. According to Lingle, the state and the utility companies are committed to seeing this come about. Yet, the past legislative session would speak otherwise. “There were progressive bills that didn’t even make it to Lingle’s desk,” said Mangelsdorf. “The legislators could have—and should have—done more to support renewable energy.”

down rebates for solar electric users. In California, installations jumped 53 percent under the state’s rebate program last year—up to more than 12,000 systems statewide—as money became a big motive for people to go solar electric.

In this past legislative session, Representative Lorraine R. Inouye of Hilo introduced a bill for a buy-down program, but it didn’t go far. The utility companies flat-out opposed it.

The PUC, which regulates the utility companies, now has the authority to institute a buy-down program, if it sees fit. It will hold a workshop this August to collect views on how the state can develop more renewables.

“Hopefully the PUC will see the benefits of a buy-down program—that it’s the best incentive for people to invest in solar energy,” said Mangelsdorf. “I’m not banking that they will, but I can still dream.”

ONE PROMISING SOLUTION

GREEN POWER

Renewable advocates say there’s a quick way the state could reach its 2020 goal—a buy-down program for netmetered solar electric users. A buy-down program offers a rebate to people who install solar electric systems, based on how much energy they feed back to the grid. Currently, the state offers a rebate program to solar hot water users, but no rebate for solar electric.

“A buy-down program collects money from the utility rate payers, from a very small tax that appears on monthly utility bills. After you install a system, the utility sends

When Kathy Ross built her new home in Sprecklesville this past November, she knew she wanted independence from the electric company. “I wanted to do something green when building my house.” She not only installed solar electric and hot water systems, but also a well to avoid using city water.

For Ross, solar is nothing new. She’s been using solar since the 1980s when she lived on a boat, where she said everything was run by solar power.

Have you read your electric bill lately? You may notice that you already pay a small fee—somewhere likely in the range of four to 12 dollars, based on your usage—for a vague line item called “IRP Recovery Costs.” Little do you probably know, the IRP (for Integrated Resource Planning) is an advisory board established by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to help Maui Electric Co. develop an “energy plan” for the next 20 years.

This past month, the IRP advisory group held the first in a series of community meetings to take consumer needs into account. According to Maui Electric’s IRP supervisor Joanne Ide, “The public will have plenty of opportunities to give input to the plan, which we will submit to the PUC in October 2006.”

Hawai’i Electric Co. released its own IRP Plan in early June. The plan proposed building a new power plant on Oahu by 2009.

“Consider this,” said Besasso. “If every customer on Maui paid on average one dollar extra each month, based on their usage, as part of the IRP recovery costs already on their utility bill, that would generate enough money in a buy-down program to pay for 80 new solar electric systems.

In just one year, those systems would create 360 megawatts of renewable energy on Maui. For this small fee, everyone benefits from the clean power produced.”

live in an area that is so consistently sunny,” said Ross. She says that for a house her size, the solar electric and hot water systems combined will save her between $200-250 per month on her electric bill.

“It’s an investment upfront, but a wise thing to do for our economy based on oil. As the technology improves, it will get more affordable—just like computers did.”

Residents installing renewable energy systems, whether solar water heating, solar electric (PV), wind or hydroelectric, can claim tax credits of 35 percent of the cost of the system up to a maximum of $1,750.

“When you get a net-metered solar electric system, you’re no longer on the whim of the utility,” said Brad Albert. “You’re still connected to the grid and your community, and in a sense, you’re even supplying your community with green power.”

“It’s time to get more self-sufficient on a state level,” said Ross. “Solar should be mandated in states where it’s sunny, and the state of Hawai’i should buy back as much electricity as people can make. Other states do it, why don’t we?

“It’s really simple. We all have rooftops. We all have sun.”

SEE WHAT ELSE IS COOKIN!

BY KELLY CHAMBERS

tion in Makawao (the only intersection), where Baldwin and Makawao Avenues meet. It’s usually packed, with a 20minute waiting list. But on the night that I was feeling the fiesta, the Makawao Rodeo was going on. That meant all the Makawao paniolos were busy and there would be plenty of tables to choose from.

On the inside it was slow but still buzzing with the usual mix of crowd in a Maui restaurant: the typical tourist, tasting his way through his travels; the lingering local; the beer drinker bantering with the busy bartender.

I took in the atmosphere. It’s got a pretty nice collection of Mexican paraphernalia, sombreros and colorful baskets hanging from the ceiling, highlighted by pictures of Mexico and tomatoes.

Tomatoes?

They appear to have a good theme going on, but then they also run the surf videos they’ve had in rotation since the dawn of time. I don’t know what extreme sports have to do with Mexican food, but hey—they’ve also got Britney Spears’ “Hit Me Baby” playing sometimes.

Doesn’t bother me, as long as the food’s good. Speaking of good, our waitress! We didn’t have to wait long before our server brought over a bowl of chips.

The chips! I’ve had dreams about these

chips. They’re the kind that fall apart in your mouth. They’re the original chips. If I had an abuela, I would say these chips are just like my abuela used to make.

And the salsa is freshly made, too. I remember back in the great Tomato Crisis of 2004 when Polli’s were forced to $1 or even $2 per basket of chips and salsa. It was certainly worth the charge. But thankfully the crisis is now over and chips are once again free.

We dove in while our waitress took our orders. This seemed like the time to order some margaritas, and there’s quite a selection: regular, mango and strawberry. I suggest a mix of mango and strawberry.

The menu has the typical assortment of Mexican cuisine—burritos, chimichangas, tacos, chile rellannos, Fajitas, (your choice shrimp, tofu, chicken, steak and of course, all the fixin’s), Mexican pizza, enchiladas and steak dinner.

Wait, steak dinner? Of course, that was my date’s meal of choice.

As for me, when I’m at Polli’s I usually go for the fish tacos. They’re light and tasty—the key word being light, because after three baskets of chips, there’s hardly room for anything else.

But on this night I opted for something new and went for the taco salad with beef.

The food came promptly. For a Mexican place, they’ve got a great looking steak dinner, complete with mushrooms and salad. The taco salad was just as pleasing, made with the same fall-apartin-your-mouth chips that abuela used to make.

We got full quickly. Neither of us were able to finish our food. There was nothing left for us to do but assume the position of the very full and satisfied customers—butts scooted forward while leaning back to stretch out our bellies. Then we went home and passed out, which is just about the best indication of a great Mexican eatery. MTW

EMPLOYEE OF THE

WEEK AS TOLD TO GABRIELLE POCCIA

April Kelly Bartender/Key Manager, Outback Steak House, Kahana This was actually my first restaurant job. I moved to Maui when I was 21 and had worked in retail all my life. In Northern California I was the general manager of Guess brand clothing stores. I felt too much stress and when I moved to Maui I needed a change.

When I first arrived everyone I met worked in restaurants so I decided to give it a try. I started at Outback as a hostess and worked my way up to “take away,” then to server, up to head server and finally bartender.

There are a lot of restaurants in which you can’t work your way up to a higher position. I feel like I have been given an incredible opportunity to learn and grow within this company and I owe a lot to the proprietor of the Kahana Steakhouse.

He showed me the ropes of working in a restaurant and gave me a chance to prove myself. He gave me a chance to learn something new.

After my wedding I will be starting the training for my own proprietorship. The whole training process takes about one year. There is a lot of book-work and studying. During training you have to work in the kitchen and learn the more difficult parts of the trade.

I have heard that it is really tough to work in the back of the house because there is so much food that goes through the kitchen at night. For many trainees it’s too difficult to continue the idea of owning their own restaurant. I guess I will see how things go.

I love Maui and I definitely don’t want to go back to living anywhere usual. I have met many great people at my work. During the four years I have worked here I have become close to many people. There is a core group that have grown together through the company and have gotten to know one other as a family. I feel really appreciated at my work and have recently received the employee of the year award.

I now hold the position of key manager and with that comes more benefits and responsibility. I feel proud of my position and proud of the people who helped me get there. MTW

Thursday, 7-9 p.m. at the Maui Ocean Center [ECOLOGY] Psst… Hey, you, over there, wanna see some coral copulation? It’s only $20 for adults and $15 for kids. It sounds so naughty doesn’t it? The aquarium in Ma’alaea is setting up viewing stations around the park so you too can watch “The Coral Spawning Spectacle.” Doesn’t that seem a little invasive? How would you like it if a bunch of animals lined up outside your window when you put on the Barry White records? What if the coral gets too nervous and can’t perform, or even worse, too excited and is done before anyone has a chance to witness it? Hopefully, the timing will go as predicted because they’re already planning a special presentation by David Gulko (Education Specialist with the Department of Land and Natural Resources), as well as complimentary coffee and desserts, and don’t forget the cash bar, for those of you who need a little liquid courage.

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

by Samantha Campos

The Movie and the Man

Time to Wine

Friday, at the Maui Mall

Thursday-Sunday, in Kapalua [FOOD/DRINK] Kapalua Wine & Food Festival: Loosen up the pocket books, people. If you want in on this event, it’s going to cost you. Thursday night’s “Welcome Reception” will only be welcoming you if you’re willing to drop $825 on the 4-day package. This goes for the 7 a.m. golf tournament on Friday as well. These events are only for “panelists, four-day attendees and media.” But, wait, why didn’t I receive an invite? Very interesting… I’ll be good, I promise! I won’t get drunk or dance on tables, or laugh loudly at people who think they are way more important than they are. Um, maybe it’s better if I’m not there actually. On Friday afternoon, there’ll be a Chef Bev Gannon Cooking Demonstration, an All-Star Cabernet Vertical and The Grand Tasting that I will not be attending (money doesn’t grow on trees, or in the bottom of rum bottles, for that matter). Saturday promises a day of blind taste testing (Master Sommelier 102), another cooking demonstration by Chef J. Joho, a Kapalua Wine Tour (not Kapa-feela) and The America’s Cup—“Down Under” vs.

USA (heh-heh, I said “down under”). Then, have a “Sparkling Sunday” tasting champagne and sparkling wines, later attending Chef Michael Mina’s Cooking Demo, then go “Around the World in Eight Wines & Cheeses” and polish it off (with a tall, cool Budweiser? Uh, think again, cheap-o) with the Kapalua Seafood Festival. Like Ma always said, “Nothing’s free.” Each of the events cost $100+ except the Kapalua Wine Tour (only $30). You can buy tickets online (and send them to us) or for more information, call toll-free (didn’t I just say nothing’s free?—now I’m contradicting myself) 1-866-669-2440. [HEIDI KING]

[FILM] The inspiration for the Japanese film Tony Takatani was, well just that— Tony Takatani. Writer Hakuri Murakami created a fictional character based solely on a name written across a t-shirt. Mukakami found the shirt (with what turns out to be the name of a man who had run for Hawaiian senator in the late 1970s) in a Maui thrift store and claims that every time he wears the shirt he feels like Takatani is asking him to write a story. Strand Release presents the film by Jun Ichikawa about a man who as a child spent much of his time alone owing to the fact that his mother was deceased and his father put more of his energy into a jazz band than his own son. Tony Takatani grows up with the idea that emotions are silly, illogical and unimportant until he meets and marries Eiko, a woman with an obsession for buying designer clothes. For the first time Tony is vulnerable to another person and with his wife he finally feels alive. Unfortunately, her obsession with clothes worsens and she continues to buy more and more outfits. When Tony’s concern leads him to intervene and stop her habit, tragedy soon follows. Sitting lonely, surrounded by the empty shells of her couture and livelihood, Tony decides to take out an ad to find a companion with Eiko’s exact measurements. The film was showed at the Locano film festival and won a special jury prize at Sundance. And I thought there were nothing but dingy shirts with stretched-out necks at our thrift shops!

Maybe a lot more can be found if we look a little closer. [GABRIELLE POCCIA]

Nostalgic for the ‘50s?

Friday-Saturday 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, 5 p.m., at Iao Theater [STAGE] Pump Boys and Dinettes: Satisfy that itch with this musical romp that will have audiences cheering with its blend of rock ‘n roll and country & blues. Maui OnStage presents the production of this Broadway revue directed by Jim Hutchison. It’s set on Highway 57, between Frog Level and Smyrna, where a gas station and a diner called the Double Cupp stand. Five dudes work at the gas station, spending their days fixing cars and drinking cold beers, while the Cupp sisters serve up their home-cooked meals with zeal.

The musical is a tribute to life by the roadside, celebrating the life and love in a lil’ southern town. Hutschison brings his years of experience as an actor, director, writer, producer and choreographer in theater, television and motion pictures to this musical romp. He’s been the Artistic Director of Diamond Head Theatre for 18 years and has directed Tale of the Allergist’s Wife, earlier this year with Maui OnStage. Tickets are $18 adults and $16 seniors and students. Sunday performances are a bargain matinee with all seats $12.

Advance tickets are available through July 31 at the MOS ticket outlet “If the Shoe Fits,” just a few doors down from the Iao Theater at 14 N. Market St. Wailuku.

For more info, call 2426969. [LINDA GAMPERT]

DAY

Samurai Kimono Artist Wednesday, 6:309:30 p.m. at Lahaina Galleries, The Shops at Wailea [ART] Hisashi Otsuka grew up learning the principles of Zen and martial arts. Thus, he learned balance. He also learned how to paint in a markedly disciplined apprenticeship ritual reminiscent of the Karate Kid. Okay, so he learned precision. His mentor was a famous Japanese kimono designer who instructed Otsuka to repeatedly paint kimono patterns on paper and transfer them onto fabric. Got it—he knows aesthetics and color. Combined with a scholastic knowledge of Japanese history, and the exposure to Western art after a move to Hawai’i in 1975, and you get an exalted blending of cultures. Yeah, the guy knows art.

And in fact, Otsuka’s dramatic use of colors brings traditional kabuki figures, warriors, ukiyoe women and calligraphy a vibrant modern twist. [SAMANTHA CAMPOS]

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY

Cartoon Summer Hollywood’s latest Marvel creation goes splat Another Marvel comic book movie for 10-year-old boys splashes across the screen with special effects that fall short of exemplifying the source material’s action and eccentric characters.

Astrophysicist Dr. Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd—Black Hawk Down) and his crew of astronauts get caught in a cosmic storm while researching mysteries of the human genetic code under the immediate supervision of billionaire industrialist Victor Von Doom (Juilan McMahon).

The crew suffers side effects that leave Reed able to elongate his body; his love interest Sue Storm (Jessica Alba) is able to become invisible at will; Sue’s brother Johnny (Chris Evans) becomes a human torch and Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis) turns into The Thing, a strongman made of stone. In spite of the dubious quality of his “rock” costume Chiklis steals the movie with an outstanding performance.

The Fantastic Four

★★★★★ Rated PG-13/100 mins.

Too bad director Tim Story (Barbershop) sets an uneven tempo for the embarrassingly clunky script by Michael France (Hulk) and Mark Frost (Storyville). Things get off to a marginal start with a dialogue exchange between Dr. Richards and Ben in which the exposition states, “In case you forgot.” The line establishes that not only is the movie aimed at prepubescent boys, but that they probably wrote it as well.

In the following boardroom scene between our super-heroes-to-be and their future enemy Victor Von Doom, Ioan Gruffudd establishes Dr. Reed as an ineffectual scientist whose past failures include NASA and the sticky romantic demands of Sue Storm (Alba). Gruffudd’s bumbling characterization puts the story in a deficit that it never recovers from because Dr. Reed is set up as unfit to guide his own life, much less to act as the leader to a group of super heroes. Reed pleads with Victor to finance an expedition into space and is thoroughly humiliated in the deal that allows Victor to keep 75 percent of whatever money is made from the sure-bet venture.

It doesn’t help the film’s development that the script calls for a brief load of fuzzy science centered on genetic code stuff that seems more germane to microscopes than spaceships. Nevertheless, we find our unhappy crew floating in a space station made to withstand the brutal force of a cosmic storm were it not for an open portal than allows Ben Grimm to be outside

the spacecraft when the storm hits hours sooner than forecasted.

The screenwriters go to a lot of trouble with forcing personality flaws on the cutout characters without providing sufficient subtext for the quirks. Ben is a sad sack because his fair weather wife dumped him when he turned to stone.

Never mind the fact that she never loved him to begin with since she trashes their mar-

riage without even a conversation. Ben’s latent homosexual relationship to Richards backhandedly addresses his depression when Dr. Doom manipulates Ben by making him jealous of Reed and Sue’s rekindled budding romantic attachment after Sue dumped Reed in favor of two years of sexy time with Victor Von Doom.

Johnny is the rebel of the group and as such is the only one of the bunch who revels in his freshly minted super powers. This translates to the screen in the form of extreme sports music video montages intended to ramp up the film’s lagging energy quotient for kids who marvel at snowboarding and motocross.

Fantastic Four is a piecemeal movie that

does a poor job of introducing comic book characters in a hoped-for cinema franchise that should not go on based on this one’s failure. The one-dimensional open-and-shut plot doesn’t get the window dressing of convincing special effects that should keep the onscreen spectacle afloat.

Most confounding is the obviously rubber costume Chiklis wears as an ostensible suit of stone. Since The Thing only once changes back into his human appearance, the audience has plenty of time to scrutinize the fake quality of the character’s appearance. It’s ironic that the film’s most glaring visual defect should accompany its best performance. MTW

SHOWTIMES

MOVIECAPSULES MAUI FILM FESTIVAL’S CANDLELIGHT CINEMA Wednesday July 13 OFF THE MAP 5 & 7:30 P.M., CASTLE THEATER Academy Award nominee Joan Allen, Sam Elliott and Campbell Scott star in this journey of self-discovery that LA Weekly called "A Masterpiece," that is set against the ancient high desert landscape of northern New Mexico, in which an extraordinary family embarks on a lyrical voyage that reveals unexpected moments of grace and the unpredictable but enduring nature of love.

"The movie's sense of place is hypnotic, but there's more to it than gorgeous images— Campbell Scott's astute direction; Joan Allen's beautifully laconic performance; a sense of lively, if occasionally pretentious, inquiry into the wellsprings of art" (Wall Street Journal). Rated PG-13.

105 min.

New This Week DARK WATER - (PG13) - Thriller - Did you see The Ring? Did you know that it was based on the Japanese movie Ringu? I watched both and frankly, I liked the Japanese version better. I felt like it made more sense. Anyway, this movie is based on another movie by the same people that made Ringu and it should be just as disturbing.

What is it about little kids that make scary movies just that much creepier? Jennifer Connelly stars as the mom in this psychological thriller. She and her daughter move into a new place that seems to be in need of repair. There’s a ceiling leek that drips dark water from the uninhibited apartment from above. 103 min.

FANTASTIC FOUR - (PG13) - Action, Sci-Fi Let’s just be honest. Jessica Alba is smoking hot and the fact that this movie received a PG13 rating for “some suggestive content” is enough to pack the aisles with horny little bastards old and young. The story line is that four astronauts are changed by cosmic rays while in space and attain super powers. One is stretchy and flexible, another can go invisible, another can light up like human fire, and one is ridiculously strong. That makes them The Fantastic Four. Get it? ‘Cause there’s four of them! 123 min.

TONY TAKATANI - (Unrated) - This award-winning film was inspired by an old t-shirt bought in a Maui thrift shop that read “Tony Takitani.” Haruki Murakami then wrote a fictional story that features a man who doesn’t have emotions, but wants to.

Finally, he attains his goal when he falls in love with a girl and makes her his wife. She has a taste for expensive clothing and fills their home with her purchases. But with tragic consequences.

Now Showing BATMAN BEGINS - (PG13) - Action/Adventure, Crime/Gangster - It’s about time a movie explains the emergence of the Dark Knight into a do-gooder for Gotham City! After his parents are murdered, Bruce Wayne fights injustice in the world, returning to Gotham city as Batman. He uses his strength and intelligence to fight off bad guys. Christian Bale plays Batman in yet another installment but this time they got Batman right, including his infamous skintight leather suit. Val Kilmer was a sure-miss as Batman, and George Clooney was too Chanel-looking for the role of this tough, dark hero.

tells the true story of heavyweight champion James Braddock’s (Russell Crowe) rise to stardom. There aren’t any glass slippers or magic pumpkins in this film but there’s a lot of drama, as Braddock struggles to overcome poverty and provide for his wife (Renee Zellweger) through boxing. Directed by Ron Howard, it’s nice to see Crowe back in some Gladiator-type action in this over two-hour long flick. Scary fact: Ben Affleck was going to play the role of Braddock back in 2000, so let’s all breathe a sigh of relief that he didn’t!

selves after being “cared for” by humans all their lives.

Yeah, I know, it sounds fishy to me, too, but that’s just half of it! Also stars (the voice of) Cedric the Entertainer.

MR. & MRS SMITH - (PG13) - Action/Adventure, Romance, Thriller - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie star in this movie that brings domestic abuse to the big screen. Secret assassins they are and now their next targets are each other! Mr. and Mrs. Smith chase each other around with guns, shout out some cheesy lines and then fire off another round. If they loved each other they could just call it quits but this is one messed up case of “I do.” People will go to this movie to see the hotness of Angelina and Brad or maybe for some reassurance in their marriage?

GEORGE A. ROMERO'S LAND OF THE DEAD (R) - Action/Adventure and Suspense/Horror - An uprising of the dead in the barren wasteland surrounding a tenuously enclosed civilization? Oh, sure. But really, this is just a classic tale of greed, corruption, zombies and really, really bad decisions. Much like what went on in Ohio last September. Stars Dennis Hopper, Asia Argento and John Leguizamo.

REBOUND - (PG) - Comedy - Martin Lawrence (Bad Boys, Big Mama’s House) stars in this new feel-good flick that’s rated PG. How wholesome of him.

Lawrence plays a college basketball coach, who apparently is good as a coach, yet somewhat lacking as a human being. He’s kicked out of the college coaching scene and finds himself bannished to the middle school world. Though painfully predictable, the movie features some of my favorite comedians, specifically Megan Mullally (Will & Grace). It’s also got Breckin Meyer (Garfield), Wendy Raquel Robinson (Miss Congeniality) and Horatio Sanz (Saturday Night Live). It should be good for a few laughs and there won’t be much thinking necessary.

HERBIE: FULLY LOADED - (G) - Comedy - “Fully Loaded?” That’s what I’ll have to be in order to watch this flick. A comedy/action/adventure/kids/family/Walt Disney movie rated G (no way!), this movie stars Lindsay Lohan, Justin Long, Michael Keaton, Matt Dillon, Brecklen Meyer, Cheryl Hines, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson. That’s a pretty solid line-up. I loved Justin Long in Dodgeball and Michael Keaton is one of my all time faves. But, honestly, one-and-a-half hours of Lindsay Lohan being all cute, driving a self-minded Volkswagon bug in Nascar is more than l can stomach.

I’m sure children will enjoy it. But for those of us who saw the original, what’s the point?, let’s all breathe a sign of relief that he didn’t!

SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS (PG) - Drama - Pants that travel? A sisterhood of pants?

I think girls will even be embarrassed to go see a movie with such a lame title. But there you have it; the traveling pants and these pants sure get around! Four friends are out shopping when they find a pair of pants that fit all of them perfectly. Hmmm. Then they decide these pants must be magic, so they buy them and send them to each friend for one week over summer as a way to stay in touch. The movie has a good cast (Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel) and a promising storyline, so if you can get over the title—and I’m sure your boyfriend/husband won’t, so don’t bother—it might be worth seeing.

THE HONEYMOONERS - (PG13) - Comedy - Ralph Kramden and his wife Alice struggle with money despite Ralph’s attempts at get-rich-quick schemes and a motivational speaker tape series. They have some money saved up, so they decide they want to buy a Brooklyn duplex with their best friends, Ed and Trixie.

But whoops, Ralph manages to lose their saved-up money when he mixes it up with another one of his money-making schemes. Why couldn’t he have left the money alone!? Now he’s lost their money and Alice as well. Ralph is going to fight hard to get his marriage and money back. Hmm... maybe sell more tapes?

STAR WARS: EPISODE III – REVENGE OF THE SITH - (PG-13) - Action/Adventure, Science Fiction/Fantasy - The furry and lovable Chewbacca makes his anticipated return to the big screen in the last installment (really!) of the Star Wars trilogy. Get ready to witness the transformation of young Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) into the evil and deep-voiced man in black, Darth Vader (because, let’s face it, without the voice he would not be cool). The rest of the gang is ready for some action as well, including the bearded Obi-Wan Kenobi (sexy Scottish Ewan McGregor, mmmmm), the Senator Padme Amidala and her insane hair (Natalie Portman) and best of all, Yoda! People go crazy for that little green guy, agreed?… Too bad we all know how this trilogy ends.

THE LAND HAS EYES - (NR) - No snarky rhetoric here, just this: “Shamed by her village for being poor and the daughter of a convicted thief, Viki (Sapeta Taito) is inspired and haunted by the Warrior Woman from her island’s mythology. The lush tropical beauty of Rotuma, Fiji contrasts with the stifling conformity of island culture as Viki fights for justice and her freedom.” Well said, Mr. Press Release!

THE LONGEST YARD - (PG13) - Comedy - This remake of the 1974 Burt Reynolds classic stars Adam Sandler and, um, Reynolds again as current and former football star, respectively, who wind up in stir together. They end up putting a team together to play the guards and hilarity ensues. At least, it did back in ’74.

Also stars Chris Rock.

WAR OF THE WORLDS - (PG13) - Science Fiction/Fantasy - Here’s another end-of-the world, everyone is going to die action movie featuring Tom Cruise. This one is based on the classic H.G. Well’s novel that tells about the battle for humankind’s future.

Cruise plays Ray Ferrier, a working class dude who lives in New Jersey, just trying to support his children.

His life is shaken when aliens arrive to destroy Earth and he is forced to protect his children. People are so obsessed with the little green guys invading our planet, what about the people who already live here destroying it!?

MADAGASCAR - (PG) - Comedy, Kids/Family and Animation - Ah! Finally a movie with stars we can respect: a lion, a zebra, a giraffe and a pregnant hippo (voiced by Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer and Jada Pinkett-Smith, respectively). See, the animals were all “residents” of the zoo but when one of them disappears, the other three go looking for him and all four end up getting captured, put in boxes and shipped back to Africa.

“A DREAM OF A MOVIE... BOTH LITERARY AND TOTALLY CINEMATIC, ‘TONY TAKITANI’ CAPTURES MURAKAMI’S SEDUCTIVE, SINGULAR STYLE.”

BEWITCHED - (PG13) - Comedy, Romance and Fantasy - Instead of simply making the 1970s TV sitcom Bewitched into a movie, filmmaker Nora Ephron made a movie about making a the 1970s TV sitcom Bewitched into a movie. Except the actress they get to reprise Elizabeth Montgomery’s Samantha (Nicole Kidman) is actually a witch! Not Nicole Kidman—the actress portrayed by Kidman. That’s hot! Maybe.

GORILLAZ “DEMON DAYS” As soon as Gorillaz put out “Clint Eastwood,” I bought their self-titled CD. And I totally played it out until some jerk-off stole it. So, when I heard on the radio that their new song was about to play, I cranked up the volume to properly evaluate it—”Feel Good Inc.” was the song they were speaking of. I liked the funky beats and variety of singing styles I’ve come to expect from the Gorillaz, and decided the CD was worth examining. I have a soft spot for songs that can be somewhat hardcore and add in pretty sounds, like violins and cellos, and that is just what they do with a variety of songs. I also thoroughly enjoy the British accent you catch sometimes, as well as the free-style-like rhymes. Good stuff. Definitely worth the 15-20 bones it’ll cost you. — Virgin Records 2005 [HEIDI KING]

FOO FIGHTERS “IN YOUR HONOR” “Can You Hear Me/Hear Me Screaming?” are the incredibly intense lyrics that start off the Foo Fighters fifth album. In Your Honor features two shiny discs, one side with raw rock that goes a little crazy, while the second side features mellow, acoustic music that makes you want to sit back down and relaaaaxxx. The Foo Fighters have brought us great music for years, filled with screaming guitars and thoughtful lyrics. Don’t know who the Foos are? Dave Grohl is the lead singer, Taylor Hawkins does vox and drums, Chris Shiflett rawks the gitarrr and Nate Mendel works the bass.

The first disc starts off with punchy songs, “In Your Honor” and “No Way Back.” Lead singer David Grohl shows his hostile side and lets out all that anger on these two songs, and we love it.

Right away you’re sucked in with his poetic frustrations and infectious double-barrel guitars and drums that keep your head banging. The song “The Last Song” deals with the bittersweet end of love, carrying the same intense emotion Foo Fighters ballads are known for. My favorite song on the CD is “Resolve,” because of its slightly slower pace and deep, soulful lyrics and flow, containing all of the components of a true rock song.

After all the craziness of the first disc, listeners can kick back and enjoy the softer side of the Foo Fighters. Studio guest John Paul of Led Zeppelin helped Grohl’s underrated vocals stand out on this second disc with acoustic guitars, piano and mandolin. The first track is called “Still” and is a beautiful acoustic song—a total antithesis of the first disc. Of course, it’s a nice change and shows how versatile the Foo Fighters are. “Friend of A Friend” and “Over and Out” are vulnerable and passionate, while “Cold Day In The Sun” has drummer boy Hawkins taking the lead with vocals. The song also features a creative and unusual mix of harp, mandolin and harmonium. I mean, there’s just not enough harmonium in music these days!

Foo Fighters’ fans will eat-up this CD and enjoy the 20-song lineup while newcomers will appreciate the versatile flavor of the band. This CD is an honest and heartfelt product from one of the coolest bands around. —RCA Records 2005 [LINDA GAMPERT] Got Music?

Drawing on Walls David Hamma and san shoppell at the Hui No’eau Solo Exhibit It’s hard to make something as mundane as a baby pacifier look abstract and arty, but David Hamma does it.

Hamma is one of two honoree artists in this year’s Solo Exhibition at the Hui No’eau Visual Arts Center, sharing a space with the experimental playground of Oahu artist san shoppell.

I went to the Hui expecting to see something good, and boy was I right. Unlike most other art exhibits, this one is a true room of the artists’ own.

“It’s their space to do with what they want,” said Programs Director Inger Tully, who has been with the Hui for five years.

“The artists are personally involved in all facets for the show—the planning, the installation, the invitations, the lighting.

It’s an excellent learning experience for them.”

The Hui receives between 1520 applications each year from “Recess,” acrylic and spray enamel on paper, David Hamma budding artists throughout the state.

31 at the Iao Theater, Wailuku. On Highway 57 somewhere between Frog Level and Smyrna, stands a gas station. Across the blacktop is a roadside eatery called the "Double Cupp Diner." The four guys at the station have been known to do some auto repairs, but only when aided by quantities of time and beer. Yeah, sounds typical. Anyway, the Cupp sisters celebrate their home cooking with the same zeal they bring to being neighborly with the boys. Hmm... I wonder what they use for ingredients.

CENTRAL MAUI

THE MISFITS It’s got cowboys, Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. Need we say more? Actually, we do. It came out in 1961 and concerns a group of decent but screwed-up people who head off into the Nevada desert to get their bearings. Arthur Miller wrote the screenplay. John Huston directed it. Montgomery Clift is a supporting actor.

As an added bonus, no matter how hot it is where you are, watching Gable rope mustangs from the back of a truck in a barren Nevada dry lake makes your own environment seem cool and comfortable. Unrated/124 minutes.

WEST MAUI

Ohana Bar & Grill: Live music, Thu and Wed; Patrick Major, Fri; Wayne & Friends, Sun; Ernest Pua’a w/ Hawaiian music, Mon and Tue. All sets from 5:309:30 p.m. Torch lighting ceremony nightly.

PINK FLAMINGOS Meet Divine. She is the most beautifically rude B-movie queen you’re ever likely to see. And this is her quintessential debut. The plot’s too difficult to sum up within the confines of this space, but that’s not really the point. It’s about campy characters, trashy humor, transgendered mayhem, inappropriate relations with fowl and the hilarity of evil. Still, Pink Flamingos (1972) is the milestone sick and twisted movie involving dogpoo-eating that made John Waters famous. I implore you to satisfy your every deviant desire. However, if you’re even slightly squeamish, or if you’ve got a thing about chickens, just walk on by, my friend. Walk on by. Rated R/95 minutes.

Spats: Weeping Banyan Lounge with nightly Live Hawaiian Contemporary Music 6:30-9:30 p.m.

SUMMER LOVERS

Tiki Courtyard Of Ka’anapali Beach Hotel: Live music featuring Hawaii’s premier Slack Key Guitarists Ola Hou with Pekelo Cosma and Ohana Brown, Fri, 69 p.m.

Daryl Hannah, Valerie Quennessen and Peter Gallagher lay about, often naked, in the sunny, gorgeous Greek isles in this 1982 flick. Critics have pointed out the uneven direction, poor acting, cheesy soundtrack, inane dialogue and general pointless plot, but they’re stupid. Once again, this movie concerns three beautiful people—okay, two—who like to take off their clothes and go sunbathing, swimming and cliff diving. If you’re not already in your car headed to the video store, there’s nothing we can do for you. Rated R/99 minutes.

Whalers Village Center Stage: Polynesian Hula Show, Sat, 6:30-7 p.m.; Sunset Jazz Show, Sun, 5-8 p.m.; Dances of Polynesian, Mon, 6:30-7 p.m. and Drums of Tahiti 7:30-8 p.m; Polynesian Hula Show, Wed, 6:30-7 p.m. and Tahitian Dance 7:30-8 p.m. All Shows free.

TIE ME UP, TIE ME DOWN If you can’t get away for the summer, have no fear. But if you think this 1990 Pedro Almodovar flick will whisk you away to a quiet villa in Spain, think again.

It’ll be more like a circus side show but still, an exotic excursion, involving drugs, sex, some light bondage, psychosis, obsession and a pretty touching love story. Yes, that’s right—it’s a romance, suckers. Ladies, this may be the only time you can convince your man to not only watch a foreign film (gasp!) with subtitles, but also a la-la-la-love story. Which it does, but with a sexually charged, action/adventure-filled plot. And a fine-ass (yep, it’s true) Antonio Banderas. You know, before he got all old and weird. Rated NC-17/102 minutes.

COVER STORY

No other movie captures the blistering wrath of summer better than this.

Between Kathleen Turner’s ultra-throaty voice, the murderous passion she incites in a hapless William Hurt, and more twists than a room full of iced teas in Alabama, Body Heat (1981) is the perfect sultry noir to kill those leisurely hours indoors. It’s the classic tale of love gone bad—alluring femme fatale enlists mild-mannered hunk to off her husband—but ooh, it’s so good. Plus, it features my favorite movie line of all time: “You’re not too smart, are you? I like that in a man.” Just be sure you have a fan or two to turn on as things heat up— wink wink, nudge nudge—on screen. Rated R/113 minutes.

Didn’t think you could overdose on intimacy did you? You believe in your own stamina, your ability to engage in—relish, even—emotional process for days on end. But how many heart-to-hearts can even your robust organ take before it’s pulped into jelly? This week you may find out, but I hope you’re wise enough to take a break before it comes to that. Don’t let things get to the snapping point, in an effort to prove yourself a superhumanly compassionate listener. Take some space before you get bitchy, while you can still do so gently. You have limits, whether you like it or not. Respect them.

Jason Meyer

Don’t take anyone for granted this week. While most of your usual gang is lining up their vocal support for whatever you have in mind, your strongest and most important ally may have serious reservations. These could come up at an awkward time if you simply assume all along that he’s got your back. You’ll want to heed whatever your best bud has to say, and it’ll be awkward for him to speak his mind in front of a mob of your rabid fans. Make sure you know (and consider) the opinions of those you want to count on, before you need to count on them.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Why does the phrase “just friends” even exist, anyway? It’s a lame break-up, especially considering that the vast majority of romantic relationships don’t seem to be especially good friendships. Without sex to provide some kind of glue, they tend to fall apart. A good friendship is infinitely more complex, interesting, rewarding and solid than most supposedly “intimate” connections. It’s alright for mutual physical pleasure to provide some of the bond between two people, especially in the beginning of a relationship. But eventually, unless some more enduring, deep, non-physical connection is cultivated, the relationship will fall apart. This week, develop what goes on between you and your partner out of bed, so that it’s at least as strong as what happens in it.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) I’m often hard on Libras, I admit. I use that classic excuse to beat someone up. It’s because you can take it and, more importantly, because I’m trying to get you to fulfill your potential. Libras have it so easy; you just need to be pushed to develop yourselves. You’re generally reasonably smart, attractive, creative and likeable. It’s awfully simple to glide by on those fine traits and just sort of be normal, nice—and, ultimately, mediocre. You’re certainly welcome to do that. But I say if you can step it up and be better than pretty good—and you can—you should.

TO ADVERTISE

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Your astrological neighbors, those Libras, sometimes require ass-kicking to explore unrealized potential. Not so you. Your predilection towards extremes of all kinds is a near-compulsion to leave no stone unturned—within yourself as well as without. As you’ve already discovered, many times, that can be dangerous. I won’t discourage you from this intrepid exploration, however, despite its hazards; it’s necessary, important and admirable.

But please consider the timing. What you do and where you go (mentally as well as physically) impacts other people besides yourself. You don’t necessarily owe it to them to wait until the time is right for everyone—but that kind of patience makes an awfully nice gift.

Call 661-3786

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) It’s a week of reruns. You already know how all these stories are going to turn out, and no matter which channel you switch to you’re doomed to experience something worse than déjà vu. It may be tempting to inject some new elements into these situations, just to screw them up. You certainly could, if you chose to. But I wouldn’t, if I were you. Any deviation from the course this week means a more negative, less satisfying outcome, and ultimately a more frustrating week than you were in for before. So you have to watch a few repeat episodes of shows you never particularly liked. So what? Relax. There’ll be enough chaos and uncertainty in the next couple of weeks to more than make up for their absence in this one.

You need to dig a little deeper. That is, if you want to keep that special someone in your life, you’ve got to come up with and offer just that little bit more than you have so far. Otherwise s/he’s going to walk, and sooner rather than later. People need change, growth, expansion, development. And even though you’ve provided all those things, sometimes they need even more of them, faster. That’s just one of the compromises of being in a relationship. In other words, if you’ve got more to offer, put it out there, swiftly. If you don’t, get ready to say goodbye.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Extreme forces confuse and paralyze you when they’d polarize almost everyone else, and spur them to action.

They’re just not your forte. However, during weeks like this one, rife with messy, subtle, conflicting influences that would bewilder most of the more straightforward signs (especially those relatively simple Leos and Aries), you thrive. An intricate maze full of subtle, almost indiscernibly different choices is ideal for you. Luckily that’s just what this week provides. Wind your way through it, and if you encounter any bewildered fire signs along the way, let them tag along, would you?

www.mauitime.com

MAILING

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You’re lucky you’re not susceptible to the same confusing forces acting on your astrological neighbors, those Pisces, because they’d mess you up. Fortunately for you, everything this week is exactly how you like it; more or less straightforward, clear-cut and unambivalent. Or so it might seem. It’s not that deceptions abound at the moment. No one’s got balls enough to out-and-out lie to your face. But should you come to the wrong conclusion on your own, no one’s likely to set you straight, either. In other words, before you make what seems like an obvious decision, check your facts. They might be false.

658 Front Street #126A-7278

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Some people will pack up their whole lives and move on a whim. They’re not Tauri. As much as you can appreciate someone’s desire to, say, live by the ocean, you’d never quit your job and schlep your shit somewhere for that reason alone. You need a lengthy rationale before you consider drastic changes, and lots of time to weigh all the factors of your decision. I appreciate that. Sometimes, however, you don’t have time to figure out all the details before you take the plunge. There are opportunities that vanish overnight, and people who simply don’t have that much patience. This week, if pressed into a decision you’re not ready for, don’t balk; this choice will be made, one way or another. It’s up to you: Trust your gut and leap, or dig in your heels and let this one happen by default.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Twice now I’ve dreamt about Gemini friends conducting very unusual, uncharacteristic searches. In one, a tall, hairy and very straight Gem friend was on the hunt for a pair of glamorous high-heeled shoes that’d fit his massive, crooked-toed feet. In the other, a friend of mine who already has two more kids than she’d ever planned on, restlessly sought babies—both animal and human—to kidnap and make her own. Are you, too, hunting something that isn’t exactly appropriate, and—despite its quirky possible appeal—doesn’t make any sense? I suspect so, and I wish you’d stop chasing wild geese, especially since some tame, golden-egg laying ones are hanging out right nearby, just waiting for you to notice them.

COVER STORY

You can’t bake a cake in half the time by doubling the temperature. Try not to let your impatience get the best of you this week. It could be frustrating while you wait for certain necessary processes to play themselves out.

Why can’t people just skip to the end that’s so obvious to you? Same reason the cake can’t rise into its sweet fluffy glory except in its own sweet fluffy time. Don’t turn up the heat, despite your current hotheadedness. You’ll just burn the cake and screw everything up. Patience, darling; your dessert is coming.

HOLOHOLOGIRL

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

A Saturday in the Life 4 a.m. Baby’s Crying Temporarily adopted a friend’s 15-year-old feline who’s accustomed to friend’s ridiculously early morning schedule. The cat—named Lotus Blossom or Lolo, for short—does not “meow,” per se, but rather shrieks as though she’s a first-of-the-month tsunami siren.

6 a.m. Mother Calls Still disoriented by new senior-kittizen guest’s caterwauling, I answer the phone to hear my mom lament about my column and the goings-on of my youth and how come she didn’t know about it and when am I going to mention my impossibly handsome step-father David (there you go, mom) and you know I should really call my grandmother.

10 a.m. Schneider Here Landlord stops by to do work on the studio next door—Kim’s new pad. Kim and I pick our tarot cards for the day: Uniqueness, Originality and Harmony for her, Concentration, Birth and Seduction (yeah, baby!) for me. We head to the farmers market.

Noon. Dorking at Borders I convince Kim to come kill time with me at the corporate mega-bookstore so she could listen to tunes and I could stake out the ‘zines. End up staking out a lovely man in glasses instead. And in a rare moment of shameless, brazen flirting, I introduce myself over the Alternative Medicine aisle. We talk briefly of our mutual appreciation for Seattle bands and my love of going to the dump, after which I blush uncontrollably and scurry away. Kind of like a BIG DORK. 2:30 p.m. Lunch Decide to end my two-week sobriety with a couple Baileys coffees at the Ale House. Actually, I only order one but gulp Kim’s when she’s in the bathroom. Contentedly gobble dee-licious ribs and the biggest side salads known to man. Horrifyingly discover pineapple in the coleslaw.

Pineapple! Will it forever torment me so?

4 p.m. Afternoon Tea Being girls, Kim and I stop by If The Shoe Fits on our way to Request Records. I begrudgingly sidestep the flirting-operandi as clerk/Maui Time contributor Steve and I discuss his latest article ideas, Americana music and esoteric punk rock. Kim gives me the Damn, girl, it’s 4:05 and I need a cocktail look. We bail.

8 p.m. Idini’s—It’s What’s For Dinner Somebody tells a joke: “What do you get when you have 50 lesbians and 50 Maui County workers in the same room? A hundred people who don’t do dick!” Kim and I have our whiskeys, play pool. I’m terrible, but then shark it. The sky darkens outside, while inside Kim cozies up to “Thomas Haden.” After my pool partner leaves, his charming friend insists he is going to take me home. I opt instead to sandwich Kim’s date. And we somehow manage to spend four hours in our neighborhood bar.

11 p.m. The Posse We curtail our drinking early so that we can change attire and cruise down to see Sirus B Posse at Life’s a Beach. We meet and immediately adore door goddess Kelly, promptly do a shot and check out the crowd of young ’uns, of which there are many. We also meet the band’s manager, who reminds us of “Eric” on Entourage. He schools us on how to properly spell Sirus B Posse.

Then we go to the Tiki Lounge, where I brief cute newbie visiting brothers—with a hot tub to share! Yay!—on what to do with their summer here. My flirting is again aborted when Kim gets restless and wants to go, and Misha nearly pokes my eyes out with her new—ahem—beautiful non-bouncing bazoongas.
