LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR SARCASM? US? NO! It’s really great that you solicit the public’s opinion by asking your readers to chose the “bests” on Maui (Best of Maui, July 28, 2005). I look forward to the list every year.

By and large, the popular vote indicates chosen establishments are doing something pleasing for the majority of their clients.

So why is [it] that you feel compelled to add your own sarcastic, derogatory editorial comments whenever you don’t agree with the popular votes? Why ask the unenlightened public their opinion if you are subsequently going to bash them for their horrible tastes and lack of insight? Never mind disrespecting the establishments before they can even accept their mostly well-deserved awards. Keep it up and you will prove that the moniker “Best of” is a flimsy cloak woven by idiots; a meaningless dupe. In which case, why should I even buy your paper? You say it’s free? Well, at least I can’t complain I haven’t gotten my money’s worth.

Regardless, even as you seem intent on incessantly proving to us how fabulously discerning, politically correct and environmentally aware you are, you are too often shooting yourself in the foot. I would presume someday you’d all like to work for a paper that actually has a paid circulation. Perhaps your intent in voicing your sense of loathing for the ridiculously stupid public you serve is in hopes a big time editor from the NY Times or Minneapolis Free Press vacationing on Maui will read your piece and subsequently offer you a high-paying job in the Big Apple so you can get out of this dump where no one knows their butt from a coconut and move into an environment where other people are as hip and cool as you.

As you can likely tell, getting lashed by someone’s editorial tongue never feels good. It may show the speaker’s cleverness but it also reveals their darkened soul. Besides telling you that you sometimes come across as jerks rather than the clever wits you intend to portray, I write to make this suggestion for next year’s “Best of” issue. Do as the American Way inflight magazine does and offer a “she said” and “we say” split. Let the public choose their favorites, then state your editorial preference without bashing the public’s bad taste. That way, I, the reader, can know what the common man prefers as well as the opinion of you fabulously intelligent, well-spoken hipsters.

I just pray you don’t all run off to some big city publication before next year’s issue.

-Anonymous, via email

BLAME OUR READERS Thank you and your staff for your excellent Best of Maui issue—great categories and choices and delightful writing.

One correction to note, however (No. 69-Best “county” blunder): the Lahaina and Paia bypass projects exist along state highways over which the county has no

jurisdiction (had we, I do believe those bypasses would have been completed by now).

Despite intensive lobbying on the part of county government through several administrations, the state has consistently deferred or avoided (not sure which) any action on either of those critical roadways for nearly 20 years.

Re: abandoned cars—I hope that by the time you go to print on your next issue, the bureaucratic maze the county has had to tunnel through will finally have been completed and that your readers will begin seeing those junkers hauled off of our highways. And, we’d like to ask that folks report anyone seen illegally dumping to MPD at 244-6400. Mahalo.

-Ellen Pelissero, Public Information Officer, Office of the Mayor

OR JUST THANK THEM Just wanted to say mahalo to you and the readers of Maui Time for the great honor of being named Best Radio Station! We appreciated being an Editor’s Pick last year, and to get the vote of the community this year means a lot to us.

Thanks also for reminding everyone that Mana’o Radio is entirely listener-supported and volunteer-staffed. We are blessed to have so many dedicated volunteers and loyal supporters, including the musicians who ensure that our fundraisers are always fun-raisers as well.

-Barry Shannon & Kathy Collins, Mana’o Radio

YES, LOOK AT HITLER To the guy who got the guy beat up for making a wrong turn (Eh Brah, July 21, 2005), I’d just like to say that little anonymous note sort of hit a nerve with me. I think that sort of thing hits lots of notes with lots of people. Especially all the people who are or are not racists. Let me explain: Maui is an island that was invaded by white men.

White men, in history, do have a tendency to invade places. I mean, look at Hitler. I mean, even now, Bush is invading Iraq. But it’s just that we’re not really white anymore. Not the USA, I mean. Not anywhere, really. We’re an amalgam of every conceivable race on the planet.

The way I see it, we’re all fucked. We can all sit there and bitch and moan about our plight as a

human being. Maybe your parents got divorced; maybe your people have been persecuted for centuries because some people think that your religion was responsible for the murder of Jesus Christ (if you believe in that sort of thing).

Maybe tourists make wrong turns in your driveway. There’s an endless list of shit to bitch about.

Hating each other isn’t going to get us anywhere. I mean, just look at the Middle East.

What’s next, car bombings in Paia? And racism is just soo passé… That shit went out of style in the ‘60s.

-Anonymous, via email

SARCASM, PART DEUX Okay. I’m coming clean now. Since you don’t know me and emails are notoriously inadequate in revealing innuendo and subtext, I thought I’d clarify that while my earlier email was intended to give you a little grief, the truth is I read your weekly because it is informative and entertaining.

I was heavy handed in reminding you all that a little sarcasm and tantrum throwing goes a long way. I hope it was obvious. I deliberately delivered the message by becoming a sarcastic tantrum thrower myself. I’m sure you realize by this example that overusing the devise reduces the impact of an otherwise valid objection.

Keep up the good work. Just don’t forget to spread more Aloha than unrestrained criticisms.

ehbrah@mauitime.com The beaches of Maui are a big part of why we live here, right? I used to think so, but lately I’ve noticed that at Baldwin Beach in Paia there are almost more dogs than people.

Most are off leash and drop enough land mines to keep an invasion force at bay. A few owners pick up after their dogs, but just kick a little sand over the crap so that unsuspecting beachgoers can step in it. And a lot of folks just leave it there. I’m a dog lover, but am I crazy to think that our beaches should be dogpile free? Imagine if someone squatted and left their pile on the beach. They would be arrested, and rightfully so! So why should we tolerate the same from dog owners? Dogpiles ruin our beach experience. I hate to say it, but I don’t think we should have dogs on our beaches at all. Why not set up a dog park somewhere far away from bare-footed beachgoers?

Missing Milk Jugs

t

Just how green is Starbucks?

Lately, Starbucks has been boosting their big “Grounds for Your Garden” recycling project. What they do is save their used coffee grounds and then give them away to whoever wants them for use in compost or soil. It’s mentioned in a variety of newspaper ads and articles and appears in leaflets (which are not printed on recycled paper, actually) available in their stores.

It’s nice to hear this giant, powerful corporation is attempting to do something Earth-friendly. But what about other forms of recycling? Like many multinational corporations, Starbucks likes to advertise that they’re “green”—just how green are they?

To keep the matter simple, I focused on plastic milk jugs. According to local store managers, they each go through 20 to 40 jugs a day. That means collectively all the Starbucks locations empty between 160 and 240 milk jugs each and every day.

That’s a lot of plastic jugs. Recycling them would help our dwindling landfill situation considerably. But official Starbucks public relations materials

weren’t of much help in determining whether they’re being recycled.

“Local recycling programs vary from community to community and from residential to business locations, especially in terms of what is recyclable,” states the Starbucks Corporate Social Responsibility 2004 Annual Report. “There’s a 70 percent participation rate among Starbucks stores where we oversee the waste and recycling services. However, the lack of outside storage space for recycling containers is a challenge.”

To find out if the Maui locations recycle, I called the H a w a i ’ i Starbucks/Jamba Juice main office on Oahu. They told me to contact Jill Wheatman, a marketing director who originated the Grounds for your Garden project. She didn’t return two calls for comment.

So then I just asked each of the eight Maui Starbucks locations. Time and again I heard regret and hesitation in the voices of the barristas as they told me they weren’t set up to recycle plastic milk jugs or didn’t have anyone to pick it up for them.

Then I spoke to Allen Cohen, who manages the Starbucks on Pi’ilani in Kihei. Turns out his store does recycle their milk jugs, for the simple reason that he decided on his own to do it.

“There is too much garbage on the island,” he told me when I asked why he decided to recycle the jugs. “I just asked another store if they had a garbage they weren’t using. We put a garbage liner in it. When we finish a milk jug we just rinse it out. Then, [we] steam it for a few seconds to make the plastic pliable. Then [we] flatten it and throw it in the designated basket.”

Then once every two or three days, Cohen or one of his employees takes the flattened jugs to the recycle center. Cohen added that this only works because his employees, whom he refers to as “partners,” all help out.

“I couldn’t do it by myself,” he said. “It takes all the efforts of the partners as well.”

Keep in mind that there are more coffee sellers on Maui than just Starbucks. Be sure to ask your favorite coffeehouse whether they recycle the next time you stop in for a latte. MTW

Cunning Lingle What Governor Linda Lingle said about releasing $193,000 in state funds to improve various state libraries, including Kahului Library, in an Aug. 2, 2005 press release: “Our Administration is committed to maintaining and upgrading the State’s public facilities, especially our libraries, which provide a gathering place for ongoing learning opportunities.”

What she didn’t say: Maintaining state infrastructure has been a problem for years. According to the Grading the States 2005 report written by the Government Performance Project, Hawai’i has no overall statewide capital improvement plan, “very weak” monitoring of projects, “no screening or qualification process for selecting private contractors” and lacks “the resources to maintain a preventative maintenance program that is based on life-cycle costs.” Plugging roof leaks and installing AC here and there is great, but it’ll never end as long as the above issues remain.

MAUICOUNTY WEDNESDAY, AUG. 3

BY ANTHONY PIGNATARO

Have you ever hiked through Wainapanapa State Park and felt a sudden urge to eat at Weinerschnitzel? How about a craving for In N Out burgers while standing in the Iao Valley? Experienced a mad desire for Kentucky Fried Chicken while hanging at Kaumahina? Have no fear—the state Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) has taken a survey and they’ve heard your cries for help and they’re going to act. Immediately!

“The survey results surprised us because we had no indication that the public wants food concessions in State Parks,” DLNR chairman Peter Young said in an Aug. 2 press release.

Surprised or not, Young moved swiftly to give park visitors a chance to shell out money for overpriced hot dogs and Cokes. “We have received inquiries from people interested in operating mobile food concessions at our facilities,” he added. “The fact that we have both the possible vendors and the public interest in food concession opportunities makes for a win-win situation.”

No word yet on who might “win” the big park concession contract.

He takes a lot of vacations, by the way— again, he deserves it, given that unemployment is way higher than when he took office way back in 2001 and many thousands more U.S. troops have been killed and wounded than in all the eight years of his predecessor, Bill Clinton, who I think we’re still required to hate because he got a blow job in the Oval Office. But I digress… Bush probably hasn’t seen a paper lately, what with all the brush he has to clear off his ranch and all. Besides, he’s pointedly mentioned on numerous occasions that he doesn’t read newspapers even during those days when he’s actually clocking in at the White House. Perhaps one of his aides had just tapped him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear that 21 U.S. Marines had been killed in three days outside a Western Iraqi town that previous news reports seemed to suggest was quiet.

For a man with Bush’s attention span, this would seem to be quite a shock. And since he seems to be the nice sort that automatically assumes the rest of the world is as illinformed as he, it’s only natural for him to want to remind us—the people who pay the taxes and fill the uniforms that make his wars possible—that we’re still bleeding and dying over there. Message received, el hefe!

Message received!

THURSDAY, AUG. 4

FRIDAY, AUG. 5

So George W. Bush feels the need to remind the nation that we’re at war.

“Make no mistake about it,” he told 2,000 people yesterday gathered in some hotter-than-hell pit called Grapevine, Texas, presumably for no other reason than to hear the Great Enunciator’s wit and witticism. “We are at war.” Before you laugh—the U.S. has been “at war,” at least in Iraq, since March, 2003—remember that Dubya is in the middle of a five-week vacation.

Reward for a job well done, I presume.

So the test scores coming out of Hawai’i’s junior high and high schools are still sucking, according to today’s Honolulu Advertiser. Back when I was growing up, schools that sucked were just schools that sucked. But now, in this golden age of Bush’s No Child Left Behind plan, schools that suck get turned over to the state or, worse, get privatized. So everyone’s all in a twitter over our public schools’ seeming inability to get with the program, so to speak. One explanation, put forward by state schools superintendent

future American leaders might try to distance themselves from the attacks, which ended up killing a couple hundred thousand civilians— mostly women and children—in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hey, I’m just saying.

SUNDAY, AUG. 7 I forgot.

MONDAY, AUG. 8 So the Honolulu Star-Bulletin ran a very nice Associated Press story today titled “Nation’s genetically altered corn supply has roots in isles” that mentions all the work Kauai and Oahu are doing on super corn but didn’t even mention any of Monsanto Hawai’i’s genetically modified corn production in Kihei. Plus, the story totally glosses over the fact that the corporation Mera Pharmaceutical wants to start manufacturing genetically modified algae here as well!

According to the July 27, 2005 Honolulu Weekly, numerous citizen groups are lining up to fight the introduction of potentially invasive super algae into our state. Ahh, the wonders of science—will the magic never die?

TUESDAY, AUG. 9

Pat Hamamoto in the article, is simply that Hawai’i’s standards are too high and should come down to “realistic” levels.

This argument carries a certain beauty: the fed imposes strict standardized requirements on every school in the nation, but Hawai’i can’t meet them because our preNo Child requirements are too high, so the solution is simply to lower our standards to meet the new federal standards. Right?

I’m confused, probably because my school left me behind.

SATURDAY, AUG. 6 Did you know that 60 years ago, U.S. Army General Carl “Tooey” Spaatz—who commanded the Strategic Air Forces in the Pacific—demanded a written order from his bosses in Washington to drop nuclear weapons on Japan? Guess he was concerned

By now most of you who drive or just like to hang out at gas stations because you get off on the smell of high octane have realized that the price of gasoline is steadily climbing to ever greater heights. In fact, where Maui County gas prices are concerned, we keep hearing the phrase “highest in country.” And that’s cool, don’t get me wrong: Maui should be tops in something, as long as it doesn’t involve deadbeat dads or people who respond to email messages from mysterious Nigerian diplomats offering huge sums of money. Stupid fake promises of riches… Where was I? Oh yes—oil. So today’s Maui News has a big story by the AP on various explanations of oil’s current, astounding $64/barrel price. And it’s a fascinating story, especially since the writer managed to list a half dozen reasons, not one of which was the raging war we start atop the massive Iraqi oil fields. Bravo!

Anthony Pignataro fondly remembers the time when he used to write really pithy things here. MTW

Got Empathy?

PHOTO: COURTESY OF U.S. ARMY / STAFF SGT. SUZANNE DAY

Americans cheer fictional insurgents, real-life invaders Disgust turns to contempt when foreign occupation troops beat and kill American civilians. Finally a group of teenagers decides they’ve had enough. The young patriots scrounge up weapons and take to the mountains to strike back at the invaders, attacking their patrols and picking them off one at a time in a guerilla campaign designed to demoralize the enemy.

Remember Red Dawn, that classic document of Reagan-era jingoism filtered through Cold War paranoia? Audiences cheered American nationalist insurgents as they blew holes through onscreen Soviet conscripts in 1984. Rent it today and you will too.

Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen play high school kids who, at first resigned to the U.S. invasion, take up arms in disgust at an increasingly abusive and hostile army of occupation. Americans play opposite roles in the two scenarios, yet we identify with Americans in both. Where the heck is our sense of empathy? Why can’t we see ourselves in the faces of those kids firing RPGs at convoys of Halliburton trucks stealing Iraqi oil?

Here’s the rub: Iraq’s resistance fighters kill other Iraqis. They kidnap and execute foreign aid workers, truck drivers, businessmen, even diplomats and children. Americans, we tell ourselves, would never resort to that kind of terrorism—not even to free ourselves from occupation.

Wouldn’t we?

Imagine America under the jackboot of, say, Icelandic occupation. At first many Americans are happy to see Bush arrested and put on trial, but it doesn’t take long before we start to miss him. Promises of rapid rebuilding evaporate.

Two years after saturation bombing has leveled Washington, Los Angeles, New York and other major cities, the rubble is overrun with rats and wild dogs. America’s natural resources are shipped back to Iceland without recompense.

Unmarked checkpoints spring up everywhere, transforming a drive to the 7-Eleven to get water into a potentially lethal exercise.

Icelandic troops conduct house raids to take away Americans’ guns. Since there’s no electricity for streetlights, the night belongs to gangs, who rape and hold women for ransom.

There are no jobs, unless you count working for the hated police force of the puppet regime, the Unified Nordic Republic of Icelanderica.

UNRI lackeys ride alongside Icelandic storm troopers to point out the homes of “terrorists,” who are bagged, beaten and dragged off into the night, never to be seen again. Most of the victims are innocent civilians, of course, but the Icelandics don’t speak English. They mistakenly trust their toadies, who use their authority to act on personal grudges.

These collaborators, as Karl Rove would point out, are fair game for attacks by American resistance fighters. Just like in Red Dawn.

A few years pass. The Icelandic government turns over nominal “sovereignty” to its puppet American regime, but nothing changes on the ground. The checkpoint shootings, mass arrests and chaos continue unabated. Almost everyone has lost a friend or family member to the war. There’s an “election,” but members of the prewar Democratic and Republican parties are barred from participating.

Adding to the anger of patriotic Americans is the willingness of the rest of the world to forget what has happened. Other nations, including former prewar allies like Great Britain and Italy, reopen their embassies and post ambassadors to the “new America.”

The United Nations recognizes the collaborationist regime as legitimate and meets with its appointed leader, a man unknown in America because he spent his entire life in exile in Iceland. Carpetbaggers (the collaborationist press calls them “entrepreneurs”) pour in from abroad, scheming to line their pockets by prolonging Americans’ misery and poverty.

Aid groups and other NGOs seeking to help hungry and homeless Americans mean well, but their presence reinforces a sense that things are back to normal—and the collaborationist media points to their presence as tacit endorsement of the occupation.

Obviously the U.S. nationalist insurgents don’t want to kill civilians. They prefer that foreigners stay out of occupied America so they can focus on driving out the Icelandics, but naive and greedy intruders ignore their warning not to associate with the puppet regime.

Leaders of the resistance are forced to make a brutal choice. They can kill a few diplomats here, a few aid workers there, but since executions serve no purpose as warnings unless their horror is publicized, the American patriots choose to distribute videotapes of the killings. Similarly, they warn their countrymen not to join the collaborationist police forces.

But there’s only one way to ensure that the jobless won’t sell out their country in order to feed their families: suicide bombers who take out as many traitors as possible.

Yes, there would be an alternative to these brutal tactics. The conquered Americans could simply accept that there will never, ever again be a land of the free and home of the brave where the United States used to be. But that would hardly be a Hollywood ending. MTW

RONZO

Exactly 21 years ago this Aug. 11, President Ronald Reagan quipped during a radio broadcast, “I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.” He thought it was hilarious; the rest of the world, on edge from his massive nuclear and conventional military build-up—not so much. To commemorate the late president’s little joke, here’s a list of Ronnie’s old movies that sound eerily like porn titles:

Nuckols said he has never tasted human flesh but based his recipe on cannibals’ reported descriptions of the flavor.

Stanley (who was installed in the job in order to ensure management “stability” during the company’s currently shaky status with investors) signed a two-year contract at $16 million a year which allowed him, if he changed his mind, to resign and promptly collect all $32 million. A few days later, he resigned. The “stability” was needed at faltering Morgan Stanley because longtime CEO Philip J. Purcell had just been eased out, but his contract called for $113 million in severance pay.

THAT’S A SCAM?!

ALWAYS PICK SCISSORS In April, according to a New York Times story, when a Japanese art collector sought to choose between Sotheby’s and Christie’s auction houses to handle a sale (which ultimately brought in $17.8 million) and quixotically asked the two houses to play rock-paper-scissors for the privilege, Sotheby’s lost out on the eventual $2.3 million commission by choosing paper.

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Thomas E. Mason was charged with robbing the Fortress Bank in Winona, Minn., in June; he was arrested nearby and identified by bank employees, but the main evidence against him was the threatening holdup note, which began, cheerfully, “Hi, I’m Thomas Mason.” And Henrick Alemba Kutwa, 29, was arrested in Durham, N.C., in June and charged with numerous counts of using stolen credit cards; he was caught when he used one card at a local motel and signed the receipt with his own name.

In the course of a rare crackdown on Nigerian “419”/“advance-fee” scams, a Nigerian court in July sentenced a woman to 30 months in jail, plus fines, in a case in which the victim was not a gullible, e-mail-reading American, but a bank. Brazil’s Banco Noroeste S.A. was apparently suckered into advancing money for a nonexistent new airport in the Nigerian capital of Abuja, which ultimately cost it $242 million (much of which it later recovered).

HEY, KIDS LIKE BOATS The Massachusetts attorney general’s office said in June that it was investigating whether longshoremen’s unions have for years been putting some members’ kids as young as three on their membership rolls so that they will accumulate seniority and thus be eligible for higher starting pay if and when they worked as longshoremen.

IT’S ABOUT TIME British biochemist James Shippen and colleague Barbara May created the Indipod, supposedly the first portable toilet made for cars (4-wheel-drive vehicles) and tested it recently by traveling from Scotland to Italy without using any restrooms along the way. The Indipod, to be installed in the trunk, sells for the equivalent of $550.

AT LEAST THE FOOD’S GOOD Japanese customers who attempt to eat at one Western-style restaurant in Jilin, China will be turned away unless they first apologize for Japan’s occupation of China during World War II. Japan’s Kyodo news service, via a July Reuters dispatch, reported no apologies so far.

STARTLING REVELATION A University of Birmingham (England) professor, working from a third-century Greek text of the New Testament’s Book of Revelation, found that the number representing the Antichrist is probably not 666, but 616, in that 616 referred to the Emperor Caligula. A Church of Satan official in New York had no comment except to say that his church will use whatever number Christians fear.

IRONIES (1) Lisa G. Berzins, a nationally known psychologist and expert on eating disorders, was arrested in a West Hartford, Conn., convenience store in July after, according to police, passing out from inhaling the aerosol from three cans of whipped cream. (2) The Virginia Employment Agency, which handles unemployment compensation, announced layoffs of 400 employees in June for lack of work because unemployment is so low in the state. (3) Todd Christian, 26, who flies 40 feet through the air as “Todd the Human Cannonball” for Britain’s Cottle and Austin Circus, was fired in June because he refused a training assignment in Brazil, protesting that he doesn’t like long airplane flights.

It isn’t often a Maui County Liquor Control Board of Adjudication member publicly accuses his colleagues of “denying due process” to an establishment appearing before the board, but that’s exactly what happened during the Aug. 4, 2005 hearing.

The establishment was Lahaina’s Sly Mongoose—pleading not guilty to three counts related to serving a customer who was already allegedly drunk. The member was rookie Lance Collins, an attorney who’s fast making a name for himself as the most intelligent and fair Adjudication Board member.

Almost as soon as the meeting began, LC Director Franklyn Silva told the board that the prosecution wanted the case continued for a month because its sole witness—LC Officer Harry Matsuura—was unable to attend due to an injury. After questioning from Collins, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Scott Hanano admitted that his office knew Matsuura probably wouldn’t be able to testify a few days before the board agenda was printed, but said nothing.

Hanano, who was filling in for Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Angela Hedge, was clearly nervous. His voice cracked on numerous occasions; once he actually raised his hand to vote during one motion when Board Chairman Shigeto “Mustard” Murayama called for a show of hands from the board.

In any case, Collins was disturbed that Hanano and the LC were so cavalier about asking for more time. He explained to Sly Mongoose owner Hana Rawlings, appearing without legal counsel, that she had every right to object to the board giving the prosecutor more time.

She objected, but the Adjudication Board chose to ignore her and voted to give the prosecutor’s office another month to prepare.

“I strongly object to a continuance,” Collins told his colleagues. He explained that two months earlier the board had rightfully denied a continuance request from the attorney for Idini’s in Wailuku that was made after the board agenda had been posted. Collins said approving a continuance now was giving “preferential treatment” to the county prosecutor’s office and “denying due process” to the Sly Mongoose.

“I’d like to put on the record that this is highly irregular,” Collins said when it when it was clear the rest of the board was going to ignore his pleas.

Murayama noted Collins’ objection, denied they were depriving anyone due process, then voted with the rest of the board to give the prosecutor’s office more time.

INK Three nights at the Hui No’eau Japanese art and tattoo conference

By Samantha Campos

AUGUST 11, 2004

COVER STORY

It’s early evening and the wind is picking up high above the Northern shore of Maui on the slopes of Haleakala Crater.

Blue skies quickly darken, casting a shadow over the sprawling green lawn sprinkled with blue-violet hyacinth.

There are just a few minutes before the night’s event and the Makawao visual arts center, Hui No’eau, is already inundated with people. They’re here for “Wood Skin Ink: The Japanese Aesthetic in Modern Tattooing,” a series of lectures, symposia and workshops that ran July 29-31 examining the influence of Edo period motifs—Ukiyo-e woodblock prints, themes and icons—on the modern tattoo movement.

Small clusters of people form. A British abstract artist mingles with a Kauai tattoo shop owner; a Honolulu newspaper publisher talks to a tattoo artist from San Francisco. It’s an immersion of the world of fine art with that of the dubiously titled “lowbrow” ink slingers.

“So are you due to have more tattoos?” asks a demure woman with cropped saltand-pepper hair. A well-dressed man in his 40s talks animatedly about skin art trends in various regions he’s visited.

“When I was in east L.A., it was all black and gray styles,” he says. “To me, they’re all collective parts of the whole experience. I had my head tattooed when I was a kid in New York. It’s a predatory place, so I wanted to look tough.”

To the right of the gallery shop, under a white awning with rounded white columns, a group of five guys stand around waiting for the conference to begin.

They’re all dressed in dark clothing, the colored contours of tattoo-covered arms and calves peeking out from rolled-up sleeves and shorts. The young men talk while watching the clouds gather overhead.

“There are scenes that Kuniyoshi [Japanese Ukiyo-e Printmaker, ca. 17971861] did that never happened—” “Yeah, but they look cool.”

★

Down a small flight of stairs past the gallery, the crowd files into a large white tent furnished with a projection screen and rows of chairs. John Lofgren, the Hui’s Executive Director, jovially addresses the crowd.

“Aloha everyone!”

Immediately, almost as if a knee-jerk reaction, the crowd responds accordingly.

“Alooooooha!”

“We are here to celebrate and be part of this incredible exhibition,” says Lofgren. “I must admit, I feel a little naked. My arms are bare and my, well, you know…”

The crowd laughs.

“I’d like to introduce the person who made it all possible, a young kid from Minnesota—Paul Mullowney,” says Lofgren. “I’m gonna give him a lei now and if you’d all just blink for awhile, I’m gonna give him a kiss. It’s the tradition.”

Mullowney, head of printmaking and Program Administrator for the Hui, then

thanks main conference speakers and guests, Don Ed Hardy and Roger Keyes— the leading master of American tattooing and the leading authority on Edo period woodblock prints, respectively.

Keyes begins the slideshow “virtual gallery tour,” taking the audience through the exhibit, piece by piece. He mentions a concept he calls “The Three T’s”: emphasizing the premise of “tradition, creative transformation and transmission, or the passing from artist to artist,” in understanding the scope of Japanese tradition and contemporary art.

As he flips through projected images, Keyes explains the stories behind the various themes in Kutiyoshi prints—fictitious heroes of Chinese novels, esoteric Buddhist deities, Kabuki actors—themes which are repeated in the tattoos of specific characters. Often, there are tattoos within the tattoos of these traditional images.

“You don’t just copy the art,” Keyes says. “You find a deep understanding of what the artist did.”

And the stories are always dramatic.

“The Flower Priest” is a madman, a drunkard, tattooed with flowers, who smashed a statue that wouldn’t answer him. A “Water Merchant” hero loses his temper and is thrown in jail, only to get out and become a fugitive after he murders his father-in-law who was intent on goading him to do it. Then another of a magician who created a plague of rats, and one of a guy who is tattooed with a monkey, rips out his hair as each strand turns into another monkey.

Keyes, a thin man with a crown of silvering hair and an open, friendly face, effortlessly tells story after story of fantastic creatures and animals of power.

There’s “the Story of the Lion... Dragon and Bats… next… Tigers, lots of tigers in Korean paintings… next… Look at how the color red plays around the picture— you can read it for the reds, blues, greens… next…

“These are fun, very intelligent artists— visually, intellectually, culturally,” says Keyes. “There’s a sense of playfulness… next… You have to look at this for a while—there’s a tattoo of a hawk or an eagle, with a carp swimming up his robe.

It’s so energetic. It’s like the artist asked, ‘How can we have more fun?’… next…”

At this point, Hardy steps in.

“I was so disinterested in all this when I first started,” says Hardy. “Ukiyo-e made me mad. I knew there was something there but wasn’t ready to face it.”

But then Hardy goes through subsequent slides to show how Ukiyo-e artists layer colors and stories within stories, how they simplify the theme to carry the energy of what the image is about.

“These prints keep imploding,” Hardy says. “And your appreciation just grows with time… next…”

Another theme is ghosts and goblins and scary things.

“Horiyoshi’s… uh… committed to his art,” says Hardy. “They say he put his

own blood into some of his paintings.

There’s horror, menace and playfulness in this supernatural stuff.”

Widely attributed with introducing Asian art to the Western tattoo world, Hardy says he’s interested in breaking down the strictures of Japanese art, and doing something new with his own.

“This [dragon image] is from the late ‘80s, maybe ’90,” he says of one slide. “It was for back pieces for these rockabilly guys in Tokyo—now available on T-shirt in the gift shop. Support the Hui! “Tattooing is a transformative art,” he says. “If you’re going to get a tattoo and feel better about yourself, art and your place in the world, then that’s great.

Fitting art on a body or with other tattoos sometimes takes you in new directions of design you wouldn’t have thought of. And sometimes, it just drives you crazy.”

★

After the virtual gallery tour, we’re led outside to an area in front of the Hui solarium. A Hawaiian kapuna greets us, inviting the crowd to join in a blessing of the exhibition. As a light breeze cools the fine mist of rain on our skin, the kapuna talks of the relationship between tattooing, the cold air and our presence on the grass.

He asks us to “respect this place so that all tattooing of cultures can become new art here to Hawai’i.” He talks of tattooing as “the art of spirituality.” He also talks of past kings who were tattooed, and the difference between warriors and soldiers. He chants: “Ho’omeheu makaku—stomp your foot! There’s a footprint here of cultures.”

He drops flowers into the small pool in front of the Hui, and asks Mullowney, Keyes and Hardy to turn around and face the building. “I want to shake up this gallery! Say ‘E’o! I am here!’” The three men do as instructed. Kapuna concludes his blessing. “Okay, koukou, guys—let’s go eat!”

Inside the gallery, next to the banquet of sushi and skewers of chicken, western civilization’s venerable Godfather of Tattooing sits alone at a small table. Don Ed Hardy appears as an everyman—a pleasant-looking man of 60, wearing a colorful shirt, black pants and burgundy sneakers. Both arms covered with tattoos, he has a cane by his side and is adorned with the requisite VIP lei. A blonde woman in her 40s wearing a bright yellow suit approaches. She beams at him, leaning down to speak.

Off to the side, a pretty Asian woman in a pink tank top and Kanga beret, her right arm tattooed from shoulder to wrist, talks to a similarly tatted young man with dreads.

The room is full of snakes and pinups—arms, legs and necks covered with Japanese finger waves, koi fish, dragons and lotuses. A glimpse of kanji symbols on a hand here, a flash of tribal design on a foot there.

Keyes talks of book publishing with Takahiro Kitamura, one of the conference speakers and apprentice to one of Japan’s

Kitamura: There’s a lot of amuletic use of tattoos, too. Like, I won’t tattoo a ghost on someone unless I can balance it with something else.

Keyes: We’ve been talking about Buddhist images, but in the supernatural tradition of shamanism in Japan, the basic principal is everything is alive—another is there’s an invisible world. The way artists bring that into the perceptible world of pictures—a powerful work of art, archetypal forces, and a sense of forces right here that people need/want/don’t want to be in touch with.

Get to the truth through the falls. Have respect for what you’re doing, the subject matter, the invisible forces—the sense of something really important going on here. It might transform you— who knows? It’s not just a story and not just a picture—it’s something that’s happening in eternity.

These things keep opening up more and more there, like Don said. Those of you who are artists have probably felt that. In no other art world have I felt [this] than in Japanese culture. To the degree I can let the story go—let it be larger than life—is the degree I can become larger myself.

I’ve been reading the HP [Lovecraft] books— very Faustian about having power. It’s all about fear and self-preservation. Japanese is not based on that construct. It’s the role of art in Japanese tradition to suggest not that it’s impossible but the compelling reality of the skill in your drawings that makes whatever it is come alive in your art. The essence of life is right there. It’s at the heart of what it is to be a human being. We don’t know what it is yet, but we’re just going to keep on truckin’!

A mixed crowd mingles outside leading Tattoo Masters, Horiyoshi III of Yokohama. Two guys discuss the process of woodcut prints in Japan. Everywhere in the room, talk turns to new ideas for tattoos. A local artist wants to go home and draw. A visiting artist yawns happily.

“It’s great to see some really awesome people not on the bill—like that guy over there, Adrian Lee. He’s really, really good.”

“I’ve already seen a lot of these prints,” says Lee. “I just came to hear Don Ed Hardy and Roger Keyes speak. Plus I had frequent flyer miles and needed a little vacation.”

“This is a once in a lifetime thing,” says another artist from San Diego. “I don’t think you’ll hear these people at the same time and place again.”

★

A special panel discussion is taking place in the white tent. Hardy and Keyes are joined by Kitamura and Chris Treviño, a conference speaker and highly respected Japanese-themed tattoo artist from Texas. The group is explaining the tradition of art in Asia...

Hardy: It’s about tracing things, following patterns—and it’s very set from thousands of years ago—transmitting it and then maybe transcending it. There was no shame in that.

Keyes: The challenge for artists is not how to do a Japanese cherry blossom but how to make those “katas” your own.

Kitamura: When I first started working with Horiyoshi, he said, “When you get home, trace all my books” and I was like, “Blecch! I’m an artist—I don’t trace!” And he was like, “You little shmuck—I’ve been tracing for years.” Learn your master.

Keyes: The main thing is to go out and look at things—don’t draw, just look, go back to the studio and then draw. Then go back and look.

Get to know your subject well.

Hardy: It’s about your perception of reality— attempting to get into the core spirit through imitating those forms, katas, the cherry blossom. When you get the fact that they’ve codified these things, it’s like learning a language... It becomes more profound, so hypnotic… That’s what’s attractive about the Asian tradition—not just picturing but perceiving the world and your place in it. They see it, they have that shock of recognition and it sucks you in, feeds your spirit that, in a way, no other art does. As you know more about the iconography, it gives it more meaning. It’s a swell hobby!

Kitamura: There’s that movie with Tom Cruise—The Last Samurai—everyone asked me if I saw it, and I was like, “Of course not.” But there’s this romanticized, idealized notion that attracts us to this culture—in theory it takes you to a time where you want to believe those ideals existed.

Treviño: When I first saw tattoos when I was a kid, they were ugly and green. But when I saw the squid that Ed did in ‘73, that’s when I knew to use the needle as a paintbrush.

Kitamura: When these stories came about—this was not a culture that had therapy or psychology. They had myths and stories to deal with it. There was a whole take Japanese had on alcoholism...

Hardy: There’s a romanticized sense of heroics and high drama—a crossover of samurai warrior with Western gunslinger—that factors into tattooing. It’s about dramatizing your life, that sense of going for heroic gesture, strength, valor.

It’s high time that Japanese tattooing received the same respect, attention and documentation.

Kitamura: The Japanese tattooing world is about speaking out in constructive ways... a sort of working class revolt.

Hardy: It boils up from the passions of humanity.

On the last night of the show, the gallery room that exhibits Edo period works is dark and quiet. People walk through, staring in awe at the woodcut prints of the 17th to 19th century “Danshichi Kurobei: Heroes, Actors and Warriors,” and speaking in hushed whispers.

“They really tell a story-” “Amazing juxtaposition-” “What is this on? Rice Paper?”

“Wow! This is from 1867!”

A blonde woman in her 40s says, “It’s made me want to get a tattoo and I’ve never been into tattoos!” Her companion laughs. Nearby two tattoo guys talk about a Treviño print.

“I really like this because it’s super similar to the Horiyoshi III designs,” says the first guy.

“Oh, you mean like those?” The second guy walks over to the black and white prints on the adjacent wall.

Rebecca Salter, a conference speaker and Professor of Art from London’s Camberwell College of Arts, is busy signing a print for a young fan. Don Ed Hardy and Chris Treviño are at another table signing posters. The air is electric.

I walk outside. Three gray-haired men are talking by the host bar.

“You’re kinda old for pimples, aren’t ya?” says one. “Did ya go to the doctor?”

“Roger and I are gonna get flies tattooed on the end of our dicks,” says another. “Wanna watch?”

The exhibition “Wood Skin Ink: The Japanese Aesthetic in Modern Tattooing” will show at the Hui No’eau Visual Arts Center through Sept.

25. The gallery is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.

This quaintness makes the place feel cozy, almost like you’re a little kid again, eating on your old porch. Then you remember that you didn’t have a porch growing up, and even if you did, it certainly didn’t overlook the island of Molokai rising out of the Pacific’s crystalline waters.

BY MOLLY RETTIG

The items on Gazebo’s menu are all the things you dream about when trying to get yourself out of bed. For such a disarmingly small place, it packs a lot of punch. The menu isn’t crammed with all the extravalue supersize specials you might find at Denny’s, but it’s got waffles, omelets, breakfast burritos, eggs any way, bagels, fruit and pancakes (short or tall stacks).

I found it very effective to “team-order.” I was eating with my friend and her parents, all non-germophobic people eager to share.

With this in mind, I opted for the Kula Veggie omelet. The eggs were like a cocoon, nearly bursting with mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes and onions, then the whole thing was smothered in pepperjack cheese. I chose a side of potatoes, which were nicely seasoned but left almost untouched.

Christa snuck a BLT from the lunch menu and ingeniously added eggs, which gave birth to a unique and exquisite breakfast sandwich. Mrs. Sikes ordered the breakfast burrito, which was simply a tor-

tilla stretched to its elastic limit and filled with southwestern stuff like beans and whatever else they use for southwestern thematic foods.

Mr. Sikes went for the daily feature pork omelet. For those of you who think pulled pork only belongs in a Sloppy Joe, this will correct you. Mr. Sikes’ meal hybridized a beloved country favorite (the pork) with a breakfast tradition (the omelet). And they pulled it off!

All four of our will powers must have been short circuited, because we ALSO ordered the white chocolate chip pancakes; they sounded too irresistible. Yes, they tasted as sinful as they sounded. After feasting we felt like happy, bloated royalty.

If this sounds like something you’d like to put on your plate, here are some things to keep in mind before you go. When it comes to breakfast at the Gazebo, don’t show up expecting to be seated immediately, especially during brunch hours. It’s worth it, but you will wait.

Also, watch out for those coercive, hungry ones standing behind you trying to use intimidation to get you to forfeit your spot. The appetite you work up in line will be satiated soon enough.

Once you sit, the service is quick and efficient without pushing a “turn-and-burn” urgency.

But don’t think the Gazebo is only for an indulgent experience like the one I just described; there are plenty of lighter, dietfriendlier options. This being said, I would only choose Gazebo’s for breakfast if you want to live a little. You can get oatmeal or scrambled egg whites anywhere. You really should eat to your heart’s content to justify going, waiting and sitting in paradise.

But just to be on the safe side, don’t make plans for lunch. MTW

WEEK AS TOLD TO GABRIELLE POCCIA

Ruthie Stone Manager, Café Des Amis I have always really liked Café des Amis. The atmosphere and the style drew me in. When I applied I basically told Tina, the owner, that I wanted to start from the bottom and work my up so that I would know how to do everything and be able to one day have a big part of running the restaurant.

I started as a waitress then worked my way into cooking, then the dishes, now scheduling and managing. I like being able to do any job, cover any shift and be able to help out my coworkers and Tina. It can be difficult at times, though. At one point I kept dreaming about spinning crepes.

I have been coming to Maui since 2000. I’m originally from Australia but used to travel with a Dutch family as their nanny. We would come to Maui for three months in the summer for the surf. Before for that I didn’t know much about Hawai’i at all. I was one of those people who thought it was just one big island. Now I have been here permanently for one year, living with my husband.

It’s a really fun job to have because all the people are so fun and interesting. There are a lot of colorful characters in Paia and sometimes there are some pretty strange occurrences but for the most part all of our customers are great.

We have a lot of regulars and everyone knows them by their order as in “chicken-curry guy” or “single Americano lady.”

We serve mainly crepes, curry and salad.

Our coffee is a big part of the café. A lot of people are addicted to our “Lavazza” coffee and won’t drink anything else.

Our restaurant has a very unique feel and I plan on being here for a long time. I love the industry, the people I work around and my position in the restaurant. MTW

floors. Some are “normal” looking and some resemble the little wormy creature with the British accent in The Labyrinth. There are worms that you can purchase to do your composting—two pounds worth of worms (roughly 2000 worms) eat one pound of waste materials per day! You can feed the little composting earthworms fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, tea bags and smashed eggshells. Imagine how much waste we could keep out of the landfills, essentially saving our island, if more people implemented this into their way of living. What’s really cool is that the soil worms leave behind is the good stuff. It’s full of all kinds of nutrients for your garden.

Are worms becoming more interesting to you? I bet you want to learn more. In addition, I’ll wager that you want your little ones educated in the wonder that is worms also. Well, here’s your chance to learn about ‘em and even depart with your very own wormery. What a great birthday gift!

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

by Samantha Campos

The Art of Hula Now through Aug. 31, at the Old Jail Gallery, Lahaina [ART] The hip thing to do this week is to tune in to one of Hawai’i’s greatest hallmarks right here on Maui—Hula. The Lahaina Art Society is hosting Bishop Museum’s “Hula Today” exhibit through the month of August, and it’s being held at the Old Jail Gallery, Old Lahaina Court House from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. This exhibit is a holistic presentation of a worldrenown dance steeped in history, culture and beauty. “Hula Today” celebrates the power of male and female dancers all across the world. But it’s more than just grass skirts and coconuts; costumes from winning hula competitions, films and audio recordings, and photographic images all help paint the picture of Hula’s legacy. The museum-style exhibit is open with ample signs, pictures and computer access to guide you through. This is a great chance to educate yourself on an integral piece of Hawaiian culture. Next time you see the dance performed at a luau, show or mall plaza, you’ll have a better context for understanding and appreciating its grace. Plus, you’ll be able to connect today’s provocative dancers with many generations before who have shaken their hips and cast the same spell on audiences. $3 donation recommended.

MOVIE TIME! Saturday, 7 p.m. and Sunday, 5 p.m. at the Iao Theater in Wailuku [FILM FESTIVAL] Here’s your chance to see Years of Darkness, a film made by Maui resident Sam Khong about his trip to Cambodia to find his family after 29 years of separation. It’s showing at the Iao Theater as part of a larger festival raising funds to build a school in Cambodia. Plus Sam’s Sushi will provide food! Anyway, there are some good documentaries on the schedule—some of which even I’ve seen. There’s Outfoxed, the intelligent but limited examination of rightwing bias at Fox News; Unconstitutional—a look at the Bush Administration’s war on civil liberties; Recovered Dignity, which examines the plight of the mentally ill in America; Bush’s Brain, the true story of Karl Rove, George W. Bush’s most important and controversial advisor; and Uncovered, the story of the Bush Administration’s lies about the war in Iraq. Sound uplifting?

Perhaps not, but the movies will be illuminating. Tickets are $10, with children under 12 getting in free. [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]

Martini Lounge Mondays, 6:30 p.m. at Bamboo Chi [DANCE/DRINK/MUSIC] What’s that? What am I drinking? It’s a “Diablo” Martini. They call it that ‘cause it gives you a Devil of a good time. Okay, maybe Will Ferrell came up with the “Diablo Martini” and maybe no one actually serves such a drink, but Mondays do have a new attraction. I know what you’re thinking.

You’re thinking, “This chick is crazy! I hate everything about Mondays!” But, now there is something to look forward to. At Bamboo Chi, every Monday is a “Martini Monday.” Not only are there Martini specials, you can get dance lessons, too.

Dancing and boozing go together so well. Especially if you’re a white male, HA! At 6:30, Rita O’Connor, who is a Dance Professional, and her husband Brian, give complimentary dance lessons to Sinatra-style music. This includes Foxtrots, Soft Swings, Rumbas and more. If you just want to watch, there are plenty of tables and the cushy couches and chairs a little further away from the dance floor. The Martinis are $3 less than regular price. I tried the “Bambootini,” which is Strawberry Vodka mixed with Horchata. It was creamy and delicious. I tasted my companion’s “Sleepless in Seattle” and it was like a spiked Frappuccino, yum! A night of dancing and drinking invigorates the soul… and the libido. Speaking of which, the staff was totally cute. For reservations, call 879-4777. [HEIDI KING]

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY

New Orleans Hoodoo

turn on hard angles or unforeseen momentum.

The Skeleton Key is nevertheless an enjoyable impressionistic suspense movie that delivers a welcome plot twist in its denouement that compensates somewhat for the

Rowlands and Hudson go Gothic Chilling suspense thriller turns on courtly notes of discord between the talented Kate Hudson as Caroline, a New Orleans hospice worker, and the extraordinary Gena Rowlands as Violet Devereaux, the matron of the decrepit Louisiana mansion where Caroline tends for Violet’s stroke victim husband Ben (John Hurt). Caroline soon discovers that the mansion is haunted by a pair of century-old spirits of slaves who met their violent demise on the property.

The Skeleton Key

★★★★★ Rated PG-13/104 mins.

The Skeleton Key is an entertaining ghost story with enough of a clever hook ending to give audiences a chilling surprise.

Cinematographer Dan Mindel (Enemy Of The State) adds tremendously to the film’s gothic atmosphere of brooding terror.

The Skeleton Key is a classic gothic ghost story steeped in Hollywood ‘50s sensibilities of thriller narrative plotting.

Screenwriter Ehren Kruger constructs a straightforward suspense plotline with a parlor-style formula that allows for only a smattering of supernatural occurrences and only hint of grotesquerie.

Hurt gives a mainly silent and all-too convincing performance as a desperate old man attempting to escape his certain doom at the hand of the evil Violet. Ben’s inability to speak intensifies his uncomfortable relationship with Caroline and gives the movie an added layer of gothic creepiness.

Violet, a hoodoo-practicing sorceress, endorses the film’s title when she gives Caroline a skeleton key that fits all 30 rooms in the enormous plantation house.

It’s a safe guess that Caroline acts as Violet expects when she searches through the mansion’s hidden attic where she covets hoodoo (similar to voodoo) belongings

that include an LP recording of former house slave Papa Justify evoking a “sacrifice” spell.

Discreetly placed flashback images coincide with the photos and objects to gratuitously feed the audience with backstory exposition. A lack of mirrors throughout the house sends whispers of a possible vampire lurking about the swamp-neighboring house.

The element of belief holds a special place in the story as Violet and Caroline openly agree that the mysticism of the house can only affect those who believe in it. Hudson (Dr. T and The Women) maps out her character’s demands when she abruptly changes her career because she’s sick of seeing hospital patients treated like baggage. Caroline is a 25-year-old daredevil who imparts on a personal dare and is seduced into believing in the evil that she is at once repulsed by and attracted to.

The chance to see the fantastic Rowlands on the big screen is an opportunity that sadly will not always be available to us and should be savored as such. Rowland’s Violet is a sinister woman of deceit who sets a trap that Caroline perfectly walks into like a baby mouse caught in a tarantula’s web. In early scenes it’s difficult to place the Rowlands of even her recent work in The Notebook (2004). This incantation of womanly mischief inhabits a dank and swampy New Orleans homestead that offers her the next best thing to eternal youth.

Just as Caroline must believe in the magic that she professes to be immune to, the audience is seduced into believing in the three-way power play between Violet, Ben and Caroline. The ensemble of gifted actors compensates for the script’s wobbly plot pacing by simultaneously intensifying their performances to steady the film’s pitch. Although not an ideal showcase for the likes of Gena Rowlands, Kate Hudson and John Hurt, the actors are afforded ample room to flesh out their volatile characters in full voice.

Director Iain Softley ultimately keeps The Skeleton Key at a too-even tempo that precipitates a lag before the third act payoff. The director of such flabby movies as K-Pax and Backbeat remains unable to make his stories

film’s pacing problems. However, the main reason to see it is to see Gena Rowlands at the height of her powers playing against the worthy Kate Hudson. These women’s hidden charms are very easy to see. MTW

New This Week DEUCE BIGALOW: EUROPEAN GIGOLO (R) - Comedy - So they had to go there again?

Why? Well, Deuce (Rob Schneider) is back to his gigolo self, only this time he’s in Europe, and his former pimp TJ (Eddie Griffin) is implicated in the murders of Europe’s greatest gigolos. So Deuce, being the guy that he is, goes there to work (ha!) in order to clear his good friend’s name. But, of course, on the way he must compete against the powerful European Union of prostidudes—?!— and court a bunch of abnormal female clients including the beautiful Eva, who suffers from acute obessive-compulsive disorder. (Kimberly L. Welch) FOUR BROTHERS - (R) - Drama/Crime - So here we are with four adopted brothers, who come together to bury the woman who raised them. But at the funeral, they discover that their mother may have been murdered and they want revenge.

Wouldn’t any son? But did I mention that yummy

Mark Wahlberg is one of the brothers? Yeah... (KLW) THE GREAT RAID - (R) - Action/Adventure - It’s 1945 in the Philippines, and this is the true story of the 6th Ranger Battalion, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Mucci (Benjamin Bratt—ooh la la!), who undertake a daring rescue mission against all odds.

Traveling 30 miles behind enemy lines, the 6th Ranger Battalion aims to liberate over 500 American prisonersof-war from the notorious Cabanatuan Japanese POW camp in the most audacious rescue ever. Thank goodness for the brave ones. (KLW) SKELETON KEY - (PG13) - Horror - In the dark backwoods just outside of New Orleans, Caroline (Kate Hudson,) a live-in nurse is hired to care for an elderly woman's (Gene Rowlands) ailing husband (John Hurt) in their home—a foreboding and decrepit mansion in the Louisiana delta. Intrigued—or nosy, whatever you wanna call it—by the enigmatic couple and their rambling house, Caroline uses the skeleton key they gave her to go where she, of course, shouldn’t go and stumbles upon a dark and deadly secret in the attic. Eek! Hope she didn’t find my yearbook photo. See Film Critique. (KLW)

Now Showing BAD NEWS BEARS - (PG13) - Comedy - Is it fair to assume a movie featuring Billy Bob Thornton will be raunchy good fun? Yes! Billy Bob plays a former baseball pro (named Morris Buttermaker) who gets a little too aggressive with the umpire and is kicked off the team.

Buttermaker finds drinking cold ones and pursuing hot ladies far more exciting than baseball. But he’s brought back into the game when the Little League must accept all players, regardless of their abilities. Buttermaker finds himself coaching the Bears, the worst team in Little League history. (Linda Gampert) CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (PG) - Family, Musical, Fantasy - This Tim Burton adaptation of Roald Dahl’s rather dark and brutal children’s book stars Johnny Depp as famed chocolate magnate Willy Wonka. Yes, I know Depp and Burton do great work. And that Helena Bonham Carter also appears. But come on! Must Hollywood remake every film? Gene Wilder played the definitive Willy Wonka back in 1971!

Give me a break!. 106 min. (Anthony Pignataro) THE DEVIL’S REJECTS - (R) - Horror - I think you should know that this movie is directed by Rob Zombie.

That said, you either want to keep reading or you’ve been scared away and want to see Herbie: Fully Loaded. This film continues after the events in Zombie’s first flick, House of 1000 Corpses, with the Firefly family continuing their unforgiving killing spree. Sheriff John Wydell is pissed about his brother’s death and wants to avenge the murder, so he tries to find the Firefly family for a deadly showdown. Hey, it’s got a plot!

Don’t forget their hot cousin Daisy Duke, this time played by a toned, tan and oiled-up Jessica Simpson in Daisy’s infamous tiny cutoffs. It’s gonna be a ho-down and a hootenanny set in present day. I bet we all try to jump in our cars through the windows after this. And I give props to anyone who succeeds. FYI, convertibles don’t count. (Heidi King) 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. (HK) HUSTLE AND FLOW - (R) - Drama - DJay is a Memphis pimp, talented with words but lives a deadend life. Fate helps him out when he runs into an old friend, Key, who is a sound engineer and is itching to make it in the music industry. The two team up together with a church musician who supplies a beat machine. Watch DJay’s transformation as he spits out freestyle raps and heads to Memphis, hometown of the famous rapper Skinny Black. (LG) THE ISLAND - (PG13) - Action/Adventure, Thriller Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson make a yummy pair in this futuristic thriller. The two think they live in a utopian society that’s actually a contained facility where nothing is so utopian. Then they’re picked to go to “The Island,” the last uncontaminated spot on their planet (so they’re told), code for they are going to be killed off.

Turns out, the inhabitants are human clones, serving as extras to their original human forms. (LG) MARCH OF THE PENGUINS - (G) - This little documentary is going to make you laugh and cry. It’s amazing how easy it is to relate to the flightless birds. Aren’t they the only animals that mate for life? It seems to me they’re more faithful than humans. (I’m not bitter!) It’s adorable.

It’s real. It’s narrated by Morgan Freeman. It follows a flock for one year, and more specifically one couple, to see how they travel across the Antarctic. 84 min. (HK) 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. (LG) MUST LOVE DOGS - (PG13) - Romantic Comedy Diane Lane plays a divorced woman looking to meet a new man. Her friend, played by Elizabeth Perkins, tries to help by putting her profile on one of the match-making websites. Of course, she’s pretty so she gets tons of responses. And let the dating mishaps begin. Enter John Cusack, everyone’s favorite lovesick male, and gee, I wonder how it works out. Let me guess... Is Cupid afoot?

Because, I sense a pair about to fall in love, and everyone shall live happily ever after. I hate you Hollywood. I hate you and your dirty misleading misrepresentations of “romance” in the real world. 88 min. (HK) SKY HIGH - (PG) - Action-Adventure, Family - As the son of the world’s most famous superhero parents (Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston), you can only go to one school. Sky High teaches the responsibility of uniqueness and molds today’s power-gifted students into tomorrow’s superheroes. Well, there’s a problem for Will (Michael Angarano): not only is he lacking superpowers of his own, but he’s not in the ranks of the hero class, and so becomes relegated to being a dreaded “SideKick.” That’s okay, little Will—Robin was a sidekick to Batman and he rocked it out! (KLW) STEALTH - (PG13) - Action, Adventure, Drama - Three attractive young fighter jet pilots are concerned when their superior adds another fighter jet to the team. The difference is, this jet is its own pilot. In flight, lightning strikes and hits the artificially intelligent jet. (Oh, I didn’t see that coming.) The fighter jet then becomes aware of itself and wants to kill people. Maybe I’m just in a bad mood, but haven’t we already seen this movie before? i.e. A Space Odyssey 2001, Maximum Overdrive, I Robot—you get the idea. 121 min. (HK) WEDDING CRASHERS - (R) - Comedy - Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn play a couple divorce counselors who cruise weddings looking to score with chicks. But then one of them—does it really matter which?—actually falls in love with the daughter of some strange politician played by Christopher Walken.

Then all hell breaks loose. (AP)

BY GABRIELLE POCCIA

4-word They’re just applying their gift Ras Gabriel, founder and lead vocalist of the band 4-Word, describes reggae as being like Hawaiian music since they both have the “sweet happening beats.” Several of his fellow band members, having been born in the Hawaiian Islands, have always known Hawaiian reggae yet managed to create an original sound to make their own.

Most often 4-Word’s music is described as being “a mix of roots and dancehall producing a ‘sinjay’ style” incorporating a three-part harmony. All the band members work to forward the movement set in motion by the ones who have come before them. According to Gabriel, love and brotherhood keeps the world spinning and

gives the band something to sing about.

Like many reggae bands the members tend to change with location while touring or recording. 4-Word is usually six or seven people but there’s alwasy a core of four members.

Gabriel, Shoshana B, Steven Robinson and Gabe Gavin have been playing together for years. Along with several others, including two members from Hawai’i, they’ve produced two CDs and are currently working on a third.

The idea that we are all one under one god is the main message of most reggae music. But these days a lot of groups choose to push the musical style without the accompanying spiritual aspect. 4-Word keeps the music interesting but still stays true to their roots. They have held up

4-Word Friday, 9:45 p.m. at Casanova. Tickets: $8.

For more info, call 572-0220. strong against the challenge that an American reggae band faces—most notably not being taken as seriously as a culturally traditional band.

Their debut CD, Trumpet in the West, suggests the sound and message from Western culture, which is certainly unexpected. Their second album, Love and Roots, came out in 2004 and combined some of their first songs with a more experienced style.

“There are struggles all over the world and we are trying to do our part,” says Gabriel. “It’s all about finding your gift and applying it.”

Gabriel has been trained in the rhythm of Nyahbingi, the spiritual drum of Rasta, and has worked and performed with the Meditations, one of the most recognized Jamaican trios. 4-word has performed with more traditional reggae artists like the Wailers, as well as the new generation of roots like Jr. Gong and Sizzla.

Gabriel once said in an interview with Eugene Weekly that his work with other well-respected musicians has helped with their sound tremendously. “Since then,” he said, “the music of 4Word has really gotten to a new level.”

In the years that 4-Word has been traveling they’ve performed at many venues and acquired a following all over the western U.S. Since 1995, they’ve performed at Hemp festivals, Bob Marley Tributes, Earth Day celebrations as well as venerable county fairs throughout Oregon, Hawai’i and Colorado.

That sounds about right for a dedicated group of dread heads. Though they do fit into the usual line-up they’re not just another reggae band. 4-Word is unique in expression and vibration. The vocals, drums, bass and percussion may make their sound but it’s their desire to connect with the audience and the world’s reggae community that really drives them.

Kind of like the adaptation of old time church hymns into rock and roll, 4-Word is doing a lot more than just keeping a good beat.

They’re applying their gift, which is all any band—reggae or not—should be doing. MTW

TAKE 5 Apocalyptic Movies

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17

GALLIPOLI A wrenching 1981 tale of thousands of Australian soldiers sent to fight the Turks in 1915 in one of the bloodiest and stupidest military campaigns of the 20th century.

Thank the late, great Winston Churchill for that one, folks. Anyway, a very young Mel Gibson stars as one of the young Aussie troopers caught in the big World War I battle, and this 1981 picture doesn’t shy away from the ensuing bloodshed. Rated PG/111 min.

Women's Equality Day - 5:30-7 p.m. at The Ma’alaea Grill. The 85th Anniversary of Maui BPW will be celebrating Women's Equality Day. In conjunction with this significant event, Maui BPW is also kicking off its membership drive along with a guest speaker, theme event, pupus. For info, call 870-2829.

ART

Wood Skin Ink - Through Sep. 25, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at Hui No'eau Visual Arts Center. “The Japanese Aesthetic in Modern Tattooing” is an exhibition of 18th and 19th century Ukiyo-e prints, alongside works on paper by five leading contemporary tattoo artists. With the aim to educate, inform and entertain, this exhibition will explore the influence of Japanese Edo period Ukiyo-e woodblock prints, images, themes and icons on the present day tattoo master. For info, call 572-6560 ext. 23.

The Twins Alessio and Marcello Bugagiar, - Fri, 6:30-9:30 p.m. at Lahaina Galleries, Wailea. These fraternal brothers originally forged the concept of painting oil on the Hawaiian wood, koa, which unveils forms that exist naturally in the wood. They then integrate these patterns into a composition that often depicts traditional Hawaiian life and scenes from Italy. Free.

For info, call 874-8583.

REQUIEM FOR A HEAVYWEIGHT Not often seen as a film chronicling the end of the world, this 1962 picture was written by The Twilight Zone’s creator Rod Serling. It stars Anthony Quinn as a punch-drunk, washed-up boxer struggling to make a new life for himself in a rough world as his sympathetic trainer (Mickey Rooney) and debt-plagued manager (Jackie Gleason) alternately help and hinder him. Not Rated/86 min.

DARK BLUE This 2003 fictional tale of the incendiary days leading up to the Rodney King riots that blew apart Los Angeles in 1991 stars Kurt Russell as a doughy, dirty LAPD cop and Ving Rhames as his straight-shooting superior. The ending is pure Hollywood fantasy, but the rest of the film captures the seething, explosive tension that still permeates the City of Angels. Rated R/118 min.

KEIKI

Back To School - Sat, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at Maui Marketplace. Yes, it’s almost time! Live entertainment

by Kupono Kane, Te Mau Merahi, along with a sidewalk sale, a prize giveaway. A remote live radio broadcast from pacific Radio Group with Emcee from KPOA Island Sounds. (93.5FM). Free. For info, call 873-0400.

LECTURES

Kahului. Speaker David Bernstein will be speaking on how to protect your family from probate and estate taxes. Refreshments will be served. Free. For info, call 243-9890.

MARS ATTACKS! Who said the end of the world couldn’t be funny, colorful or set to a Slim Whitman soundtrack? Certainly not Tim Burton, who made this 1996 gem with a stunning cast including but not at all limited to Pam Grier, Pierce Brosnan, Annette Benning, Jack Nicholson, Danny Devito, Natalie Portman, Jim Brown, Tom Jones, Martin Short and Sarah Jessica Parker. Rated PG-13/106 min.

POETRY

FROM HERE TO ETERNITY

Express Yourself - Wed, 7 p.m. at Café Marc Aurel, Wailuku. Express yourself with music, song and poetry on Open Mic Night. And yes, you have to be 21 to attend and perform. For info, call 276-5467.

This 1953 epic culminates in the Imperial Japanese smashing of American peacetime complacency and the Pearl Harbor military garrison in 1941. It’s told through the eyes of two soldiers: hard-charging Sergeant Milt Warden (Burt Lancaster) and troubled Private Robert E. Lee Prewitt (Montgomery Clift)—men who instinctively understand that they’re about to be plunged off a cliff into a new, dangerous world. Not Rated/118 min.

POLITICAL

Oil On Ice - Fri, 7 p.m. at Maui Booksellers, Wailuku.

A vivid, compelling and comprehensive documentary connecting the fate of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to decisions America makes about energy policy, transportation choices, and other seemingly unrelated matters. For info, call 244-9090.

SIGNLANGUAGE

Instincts aren’t always what they’re cracked up to be. A startled bird, finding itself indoors, will often instinctively launch itself at a window, battering itself senseless or dead against the glass, which is a substance apparently beyond its comprehension. Although I’m a big fan of trusting your gut, there are times when it’s simply not equipped to understand the real situation. It may consequently guide you towards responses that aren’t actually in your best interests. This is one of those rare occasions when your animal self will just mess you up. Think things through, and then think them through again. Then act.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

CALL 661-3786 EXT: 5#

Get your fingers in the dirt. Virgos are way too goal-oriented, and while crossing things off of lists and racking up millions of minor accomplishments to feel good about aren’t bad things, they’re just time-fillers, ultimately. The best kind of medicine to keep you happy and healthy is, ironically, something you rarely do: get lost in the moment, doing something that doesn’t really matter to your long- or short-term goals, like gardening. Be warned: losing track of time—a frequent experience of yours—is not the same as getting lost in the moment. Spend some time being active (I would never expect you to actually sit still) but not busy. Notice the distinction, then practice it.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Bad ideas can be so deliciously compelling; erotic, even. There are at least 73 fantastic reasons why you shouldn’t act on this one, but I’m guessing you will, anyway. Somehow, that pair of feeble (yet somehow undeniable) rationales are going to outweigh all the solid wisdom generated by that increasingly ostracized part of you that you once called your better judgment. Well, sometimes mistakes like these can be enjoyable and, more importantly, can only be learned the hard way. I suspect this one will grant you a little intense fun (and sadly, a lot of really boring suffering). But you’ll be wiser afterwards, and that’s never a bad thing.

You’re sunk ankle-deep in some kind of gripping muck. It’s not life-threatening, but you can’t move without losing your boots forever, and you haven’t been driven quite to that extreme, yet. Nevertheless, I hope that you don’t choose to stand your ground for too long. You are sinking, despite appearances—it’s just imperceptibly slow. In other words, move, already. Your situation is definitely not getting any better, nor will it. I believe it’s already too late to escape this mess without some kind of sacrifice; most likely your expensive footwear. However, if you leave now, keeping your pants is still a possibility.

TO ADVERTISE

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Call 661-3786

One of your specialties is tearing down walls, and that includes—in your most altruistic moments—helping others shatter boundaries that hold them back. However, this isn’t always as good as it sounds; for some, freedom is frightening, not liberating. They shrink in the face of it, where they might grow and expand when confronted with an obstacle. Good things can come of challenges and adversity, and our efforts to overcome them.

When you encounter other people’s walls this week, think twice (at least) before you go ahead and knock them down. It might be easier for you than it is for them. But that, of course, is exactly my point.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

FAX NUMBER

Ernest Vincent Wright wrote his fourth novel without using the letter e. This kind of restriction, in the end, proved too much for the poor fellow; he expired when it got published. But you must respect his resolve in trying to write something good while working within very difficult limits. You, too, need to get used to the shrunken borders of your world. You’ll find, once you do settle in to this re-envisioned territory, your proficiency is undiminished. It is, in truth, extended, to the point where nigh on no one even notices. (Those who do will only be impressed.)

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Our parents’ generation always had this thing about keeping up appearances, not airing dirty laundry in public. Times are different now; if they’re important enough, all those metaphorical skidmarks in your underwear get exposed, sooner or later. It’s impossible to keep them hidden forever, as you’ve known all along. So now the only question becomes: who’s going to reveal your messy past mistakes, and in what context? Hint: Most of those who have something to hide or obfuscate (hello, White House) attempt to break breaking stories first, so they have some chance of controlling or steering them.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Happy accidents rock; some of your best work has resulted from them. Of course, their very nature precludes generating them. They always occur when you’re actually aiming for something else. In other words, stop trying to reproduce your past greatness, “only different.” You’ll strike gold again, I’ve no doubt, but only once you take a different tack and stop looking so hard for it. You’ve got to dramatically change direction—something that’s no problem for you, of course—but also to stop expecting things to happen the same way twice, because nothing could, at the moment, be less likely to occur.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) I know Rams who measure their accomplishments not by how much fun or trouble they got into, but by how many people they managed to drag along with them. Almost nothing excites you more than recruiting partners for your shenanigans. However, for your fiery nature to ripen properly, there are certain journeys that need to be undertaken alone. This is one. That means you’ve got to say goodbye to your stalwart traveling companions at the mouth of this particular tunnel. It might even require a bit of tough love to get them to let you go on alone.

But there’s no point in even entering if you’re not by yourself—the wisdom within is like a shy forest animal who’d be scared off by more than one pair of boots echoing off the stone. Embrace your friends and go, now, calling, “See you on the other side!”

As much as you’d love to go around being a moral superhero this week, exposing hypocrisies wherever you find them, please hesitate laying their shittiness before the vengeful masses. It’s not that these assholes don’t deserve to have to dance naked in front of leering millions—it’s just that this needs to be about more than just their humiliation. You have a chance to do some real good here—as well as deliver the public comeuppances the fuckheads deserve—as long as you don’t rush it. Take your time and set up the game carefully. You’ll soon get your chance to enact everything you’re dreaming of now—and then some.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Lahaina, HI 96761

There it is, darling. The broad expanse of the blank white page, the empty stage, the half-hour of prime-time, just waiting for you to fill it with something. This is your worst nightmare; finally having the perfect opportunity to say something but nothing compelling to say—at least nothing that springs to mind. Don’t freak or back out.

Instead, just stall. This is simply part one of your little public saga; the sequel comes in two weeks. Set yourself up; by the time the your next bout with the spotlight comes around, you’ll know exactly what you’re doing there.

If not now, when?

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Silence is your worst enemy these days. We both know your imagination is harsher to you than reality ever is.

Not knowing why someone broke up with you, or why you got fired, or even why someone said something shitty to you—these are terrible tortures inside your head, because your mind is only too willing to come up with scenarios and reasons that are invariably crueler than whatever’s actually the case. Of course, getting those life-saving, kinder (if still brutal) answers out of those who’d prefer to remain quiet is often virtually impossible.

Nevertheless, for your mental health and ours, that is this week’s task.

Love, Literally The heart has reasons that reason does not understand. – Blaise Pascal Of all the genres in contemporary literature, “Self-Help” makes me bristle the most. In every bookstore, it’s always one of the busiest sections, too. Mostly women, of varying ages, nationalities, height, weight and degree of Oprah erudition, pile up and pour over books about changing your job, getting rid of your loser boyfriend or—my favorite—finding “your soul mate.”

Blecch.

There’s such determined scholarly treatises as How to Make a Man Fall In Love With You and How to Attract Anyone, Anytime, Anyplace—The Smart Guide To Flirting. Or the more sporty-aggressive Love Tactics—How to Win The One You Want and Calling In “The One”—7 Weeks To Attract The Love Of Your Life.

In one of the most popular of these books, He’s Just Not That Into You—The No-Excuses Truth To Understanding Guys, authors Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo explain that “if he’s not asking you out, if he’s not calling, he only wants to see you when he’s drunk,” or “he’s a selfish jerk, a bully or a really big freak,” then you’re a dumdum and need to work it out through exercises like writing down “how long it took you to start thinking that you might want to marry the guy you’re dating.” Why are girls so crazy?

And to reiterate this point is the sweeping Helene Eksterowicz and Gwen Gioia epic, Nobody’s Perfect—What To Do When You’ve Fallen For A Jerk But You Want To Make It Work. Tapping into our tragic propensity for ill-suited lovers, the book provides “tips and strategies for overcoming his less attractive side, and turning any jerk into the man of your dreams.”

Part One illustrates the “Jerks Who Can Be Saved,” citing examples like The Mama’s Boy, Mr. Fashion Emergency and The Cheapskate. Other “Jerks” who can be saved in Part Two, despite the fact that they “possess a physical abnormality that you can overlook,” include Mr. Vertically Challenged, Mr. Penis Predicament and Mr. Definitely Not Gay But Slightly Effeminate.

On the other hand, How To Make Someone Love You—in 90 Minutes or Less—Forever (by Nicholas Boothman) wants you to “hurry love.” Based on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), the book says, “It’s time to stop leaving love to chance.” Dr. Alexander Avila even goes so far as to say it’s “A remarkable new entry in the science of soul mate psychology.” Even more nausea-inducing, is the opening poem by Luciano de Crescenzo: “We are, each of us... angels with only one wing; and we can only fly... by embracing one another.”

The book’s focus—like so many of the other titles—is to help you “find the person who will complete you,” asking the advice of everyone in the love game, from gigolos to couples happily married for 50 years. It also insists that, “with the right person, specific body language, and mutual self-disclosure, you can bring about strong feelings of love and intimacy.”

But advice on making love happen is not a new idea. Back in the first century A.D., the Roman poet Ovid made a small career out of writing mock-didactic poetry on how to find, catch and hold on to lovers. In The Art of Love, Ovid instructs his Cupid-bound pupils that “a frivolous mind is won by small attentions,” giving tips on how to flirt at the chariot races.

He also suggests “banquets” as an opportune arena for seduction, as “Wine rouses the heart, wine makes all men/Lovers, wine undiluted dilutes worry.” But then, a warning; he is quick to point out that “On these occasions don’t trust the lamps—they can lie:/Darkness and drink blur the judging eye” and “Night/Turns any woman into a goddess.”

He’s a man after my own heart, that Ovid.

I realize these intentions—gaining the confidence to play the game of love—are not bad, in and of themselves. But even the titles indicate serious contempt for their readers, like How Not to Stay Single After 40 and If I’m SO Wonderful, Why Am I Still Single?—all based on the “latest scientific insights” and “strategies that will change your love life forever!”

Is desire or passion too literary a concept anymore?

Maybe that’s what I disdain about all these self-help dating books. They make it so clinical, too technical. They seem to say that if you just apply a formula, you will get the desired result. But what about “chemistry” or the mysteries of “that certain spark?” What about the vagaries of timing?

I still believe there are inexplicable occurrences and things you can’t control, a limitless combination of unforeseen possibilities and deterrents, obstacles and serendipitous overtures that make “love” when you do find it, such a miracle.
