It may not make sense, but it’s true.

SHIVER ME TIMBERS Several of our members brought to my attention that Lahaina Yacht Club was described by [Samantha Campos] and [her] friend as a “members-only, dive-baron-the-sea” (Holoholo Girl, Aug. 4, 2005).

Not only our staff but our members are offended by your description of our yacht club and find your column appalling.

Over the past 40 years the Lahaina Yacht Club has been involved in many charitable events and raised thousands and thousands of dollars for the community: re: Golf Tournament/Auction, Chili Cook Off, Lahainaluna Scholarship Fund, and other community events such as Junior Sailing program, Vic-Maui International Yacht Race, and Spring, Jackpot and Keiki Fishing Tournaments.

As an invited guest your comments regarding our club were inappropriate.

-Eve Jordan, Lahaina Yacht Club General Manager The Editor responds: We’re very sorry you found our story “appalling,” but the comment you’re referring to belonged solely to Samantha Campos. That being said, her use of the term “dive bar” to describe the Lahaina Yacht Club was entirely complimentary—dive bars are interesting, colorful and comfortable places that we enjoy. We meant nothing derogatory, and are very sorry that you felt offended.

That you actually ENJOYED it too.

COLD ANALYSIS

Call us today at 244-7770 for an appointment. You’ll be glad you did.

Your story “Akaka’s Eskimos” (Aug. 4, 2005) was very well researched showing how big oil has, thru the alliance of Hawai’i’s senators [Daniel] Akaka and [Daniel] Inouye with Alaskan senators [Ted] Stevens and [Lisa] Murkowski, set their sights on the Arctic Ocean offshore oil leases and oil drilling in the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. All at the cost and loss of America’s most precious resource—the

wilderness—and the last entirely intact ecosystem left in the American Arctic.

A lot has happened since 1995 when Akaka went to Kaktovik [yet] he justifies voting for drilling from that visit 10 years ago. Recently things are really speeding along: for example, all the offshore areas are being leased to big oil companies (freaking out ocean dependent Inupiat subsistence hunters). Other wildlife sanctuaries have been leased to oil drilling like the huge breeding ground for waterfowl and Caribou, Teshupuk Lake, in the National Petroleum Preserve. And the Coastal Zone Management Plan has been abandoned by state agencies (therefore no enforcement of policy and standards for resource extraction).

Most important, considering each Kaktovik resident would become a millionaire with the passage of oil drilling for area 1002, those 59 Kaktovik residents brave enough to sign a petition [against the drilling] are saying “we will not trade our natural wilderness, our pristine ecosystem, our subsistence and traditional way of life for any amount of money.” I wonder if we could say the same if we thought about it long enough.

ehbrah@mauitime.com Just wanted to thank my friend—former friend, I guess is how I should now refer to her—for stealing away my boyfriend. No, seriously: I’m being sincere—thank you. You see, he’s an asshole, and all my friends have been after me to dump him. But I kept refusing, saying that even though he yelled at me now and then and would sometimes tell me I was stupid and worthless he’d also always apologize and say he really did love me. At first my friends were supportive and believed me, but then they started seeing him when he was drinking and they started telling me he was an alcoholic and a bastard and I really needed to get rid of him. We went back and forth for a while, and then I found out that he was secretly seeing you on the side. At first I was pissed, but then I remembered that he already had a girlfriend when I started seeing him. Have fun!

BY ERIC C. ADAMS

Makena Park, Anyone?

PHOTO: SEAN M. HOWER

Trying to preserve South Maui’s cultural heritage Makena State Park. The projects are expected to double the population of the Kihei-Wailea communities over the next 20 years, creating a second town in South Maui.

Converting a small tract of land between the Keawal’i Church and Dark Sands Beach into a public historical park would send a clear message to mega-developers like Seibu that they take community and civic development as seriously as condominium construction, and will develop within the guidelines of the KiheiWailea Community Plan drafted by citizens.

The Community Plan calls for responsible development that creates a sense of place for the community and recognizes the region’s history. Whether they will remains to be seen—Seibu officials didn’t return several calls for comment regarding the proposed cultural park and educational center. MTW

A not so big cat admiring some old architecture Advertisements created by Hawai’i’s tourist and resort industry attempt to lure tourists and conventions here by showcasing Old Hawai’i. Of course, many of these same entities are also responsible for Maui’s overdevelopment and disregard of historical landmarks and coastal heritage sites. Visitors come to our island in search of the past and are instead bussed to Hilo Hattie’s.

Yet those who actually make it to historic places like Makena in South Maui are unable to see the heiaus [shrines] and other cultural artifacts. They’re hidden, neglected, on the Seibu Corporation’s private property, landscaped onto golf courses behind kiawe trees and overgrown grass.

Instead of a comprehensive conservation effort to protect South Maui’s cultural heritage, developers have isolated these landmarks and historical sites from each other in order to maximize the commercial real estate potential.

This is perfectly legal: the 1998 KiheiMakena Community Plan requires that developers “identify, preserve, protect and restore significant cultural and historical sites,” but doesn’t actually provide specific guidelines potential development must follow.

Several heiaus and other structures now sit isolated from one another on the Makena golf course. In fact, Seibu’s property contains hundreds of historic cultural sites that have been carbon dated from 1100-1880. No interpretation of these landmarks is provided, and no

one—not even prior landowners with ancestral ties to these sites—can visit them without prior approval.

It’s this type of indifference that leaves South Maui bereft of cultural identity, says the Maui Tomorrow Foundation, a community nonprofit that promotes growth management strategies and sustainable development policies for Maui.

“There is an unmet need for cultural education in south Maui,” said Maui Tomorrow Vice President Lucienne de Naie. “Reducing [artifacts and landmarks] into insignificant slices of private resort property robs the community of the historical resource and link to the land that these cultural sites provide when preserved collectively as a whole.”

Maui Tomorrow has been lobbying county government, citizen groups and the Seibu Corporation, the parent company of the Makena Resort, to follow the policies of the Kihei-Wailea Community Plan to create an educational center and cultural park that will promote distinct cultural sites and provide a link to the rich history of South Maui.

One possible location for a South Maui cultural park and educational center would be adjacent to Maluaka Beach, in front of the Maui Prince Hotel. The 1998 Kihei-Wailea Community Plan identifies a stretch of land from the Keawal’i Church in front of the Maui Prince down to Dark Sands Beach, north of Makena State Park, to be preserved and restored for interpretation due to the density of prehistoric sites there.

A preserved heiau sits on the south point of Maluaka. A section of the King’s Highway—once used by tax collectors to travel through the rocky south Maui terrain—

runs between the hotel and the Beach. The King’s Highway once ran 20 miles to Kaupo and connected 10 different villages, and this section is the best preserved.

Over a small hill south of the beach lies one of many ko’a platforms that have been recovered by state archaeologists down the Honua’ula and Makena coasts. Ko’as were traditional prayer sites used by ancestral Hawaiians and other Polynesian cultures to pray and give thanks to the fish god Ka’ula.

According to archaeological research of the area by the State Historic Preservation Division, Maluaka Beach is also a historic point from which ancestral Hawaiians built and launched canoes to fish and mine Kaho’olawe, where South Maui communities once traveled for the koa tree forests and basalt stones found there. The stones were used to make tools for digging out canoes.

Archaeological research has revealed that a canoe-building industry once thrived in this region, close to the forests on the south flank of Haleakala in the Ulupalakua region. The interpretive history of island life, industry and culture from the mountain to the sea that this area represents makes this location ideal, says Maui Tomorrow.

In any case, a major surge in development looms on the horizon for South Maui as the Wailea 670 and Makena Resort projects begin constructing a combined 2,900 new residential units. These projects will also extend the Pi’ilani corridor through the 670-acre-Honua’ula property above Wailea, providing a direct artery to the future Makena Resort and ending somewhere near

Cunning Lingle What Governor Linda Lingle told the Associated Press on Aug. 8, 2005 about getting school reform passed if she’s re-elected: “It’s not easy to make change. Nothing is accomplished in a single year.”

What she didn’t say: A single year?! Lingle’s been in office for all of 2003, 2004 and now eight months of 2005. She still has another year and four months to go in any case. Then again, had she focused on school reform measures—like pushing really early for repairs and maintenance, for instance—instead of wasting time advocating local school boards, she could have gotten a lot done in a single year.

AUGUST 18, 2005

THURSDAY, AUG. 11 When Maui Time began nine years ago, the Lahaina News, Haleakala Times, The Maui Bulletin, Maui News and Maui Weekly (then called South Shore Weekly and later South Maui Weekly) were all independently owned and operated. But today, Maui Time is the only one not owned by a big, mainland chain. All the rest belong to Wheeler, West Virginia-based Ogden Newspapers, a chain comprising dozens of dailies, weeklies and magazines in 11 states. This week, Joe Sugarman, the guy who gave the world BluBlocker Sunglasses—finally cashed out and sold his Maui Weekly to Ogden’s Hawai’i Publications. It’s not surprising, given the paper’s contraction from 36 pages to just 24, to say nothing of the fact that rumors of the sale have been floating around for nearly a year. I’ll certainly never forget Oct. 14, 2004, the day Sugarman ran five stories announcing that the paper was “sold” to Ogden. Thinking no publisher was dumb enough to boast in five separate, distinct stories a deal that wasn’t actually inked, I reported it as fact in my Oct. 21, 2004 story “Et tu, Maui Weekly?” The joke was on me—nothing

was “sold,” and the whole deal unraveled a few days later. But this time there’s no fakeout: The Maui News has a tiny story on the sale today, saying current Lahaina News editor Mark Vieth will take over as Weekly general manager. So that’s it—Sugarman’s gone, out of the great journalism game. That means no more Big Cat, Maui tsunami or scary tow truck nonsense. No more sensational foolishness. From now on, the Weekly will be more or less a normal newspaper.

Yeah, I’m already missing him.

FRIDAY, AUG. 12

NEWS

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

Forget about chowing down on hot dogs and sodas at the Iao Valley State Park. The Maui News is reporting today that Hawaiian activist Charles Kauluwehi Maxwell, Sr. shamed the Department of Land and Natural Resources into thinking twice before putting fast food concessions into the sacred valley. No word on the proposed rollerderby rink and all night wicker outlet.

SATURDAY, AUG. 13 We get a lot of free books for review at Maui Time. Of course, most of the books are boring romance novels, sci-fi fantasies or useless travel guides. They suck, take up lots of space and generally make our lives a little less magical every time we rip open their cardboard packing. But until this weekend, not one of those tomes, dull as they are, insulted us the way Jonathan Aitken’s new Charles W. Colson: A Life Redeemed did. I can’t decide which guy—Aitken or Colson—is the bigger snake. But let’s start with Colson, President Richard M. Nixon’s “Special Counsel” who ended up serving seven months in federal prison for perjury involving his complicity in the Watergate scandal. Colson spent his days scheming against Nixon’s numerous enemies, including innocent antiwar demonstrators. When Nixon furiously demanded Colson “bomb” the Brookings Institution think tank, Colson saluted, spun on his heel, and began plotting the insanely illegal attack (fortunately, Colson’s underlings had clearer heads and refused to carry out Nixon’s order). But Colson says he’s a changed man—after allegedly finding God in prison, Colson now runs Prison Fellowship Ministries. By strange coincidence, Aitken has a similar background. A former British Member of Parliament, Aitken ended up serving 18 months in prison for committing perjury during a civil trial. While in the slammer, Aitken allegedly found God—if only the Almighty spent more time outside of prison with us decent folk—and is now a director of Prison Fellowship International. To sum up: a convicted liar who’s now supposedly reformed has just written a book about a con-

Said it before, and I’ll say it again: they just do things differently in Canada. A lot of it’s great, like how they start less wars than we do, bitch and moan in the United Nations less than we do and elect way fewer irritating, incoherent Texans than we do. But sometimes, that plucky Canadian spirit seems to lead them astray. Case in point is today’s Honolulu Star-Bulletin story on Hugh O’Reilly, the current mayor of the British Columbia ski town of Whistler.

Nearing his 50th birthday, O’Reilly— who’s been mayor for nine years and a councilman for eight—has decided that he won’t run for reelection this November. Not that he doesn’t want to be mayor anymore, just that he doesn’t want to live in Whistler anymore. So he’s doing what lots of people do—he’s moving to Hawai’i. Specifically, he’ll be splitting his time between Kauai and Ka’anapali, selling real estate on the side. I say “on the side” because he’s insisting he’ll be spending the rest of this time filling out his term as mayor of Whistler. And considering that there’s not much to do on Kauai or in Ka’anapali, I’m sure he’ll do a fine job doing whatever job he didn’t want to do back in Whistler.

victed liar who’s also supposedly reformed, and we’re all supposed to shell out $24.95 and believe every word of it. Work for you?

SUNDAY, AUG. 14 You guys really need to learn to recognize when I’m kidding.

MONDAY, AUG. 15 By the way, last Wednesday was National Underwear Day. Have no idea how it slipped my mind. I think the whole thing’s a scam sponsored by the underwear-selling website Freshpair.com to sell more Le Mystere Bras and bodysuits, but really, who cares? If we as a nation can’t come together and walk around in our underwear so some virtually unknown internet company can cash in, then clearly, the terrorists have already won.

TUESDAY, AUG. 16 Good thing “Mayor” O’Reilly is bugging out of Whistler to sell Ka’anapali and Kauai condos: The Maui News is reporting today that the average price of resort residential properties skyrocketed 25 percent last year, to a stratospheric $960,000. Even more astounding—unless you’re in the nation’s top one percent income bracket, I guess—is that total turnover of these glitzy homes totaled $2.7 billion last year. Do you know how many B-2 stealth bombers we can get for $2.7 billion?

Almost two whole ones! Isn’t America great?

Even though India now has 80,000 licensed dentists, nearly 100 “street dentists” continue to operate in dusty, openair “offices,” performing extractions and “fitting” used dentures for, typically, 1 percent to 2 percent of what a licensed dentist would charge. One patient of practitioner Mahender Singh, observed for a June dispatch from Jaipur in The New York Times, was “spitting streams of blood into the gutter” after removal of an incisor that, said Singh, “was not working right” and “kept turning left and right when he ate.” Singh uses anesthetic but said some patients still pass out from the pain.

WE SHOULD DO THIS HERE In Kyrgyzstan (and some neighboring Central Asian countries) the pre-12thcentury tribal custom of “ala kachuu” continues, in which a man reduces the time and expense of courtship by riding up on horseback to a woman, snatching her up, and taking her to his family home, where his relatives (and sometimes hers) prepare her for marriage.

According to an April New York Times dispatch from Bishkek, more than half of wives are acquired by ala kachuu (although the term can also mean a more-benign “elopement”), and even some of the snatched wives eventually “consent” to the marriage. Ala kachuu has been illegal for years, but the law against it is rarely enforced.

SHE KNEW THE RULES The Living Word Tabernacle in Waverly, Ohio, terminated the membership of Loretta Davis recently, according to a July report by WCMH-TV in Columbus, because she had stopped pay-

ing her tithe. Davis’ contributions ended in January after she was hospitalized the first of 15 times this year for congestive heart failure.

The church’s founder said non-member Davis could still attend, but Davis’ daughter said, “In the time of (her) need, (the church) should be caring, supporting, asking what she needs, help her if she needed help.” When healthier, Davis was donating $60 a month out of her $592 Social Security check.

HOME IMPROVEMENT A bee-plagued homeowner in northwest Tucson, Ariz., attempting to “frighten the bees off” (according to a fire department spokesman) by lighting a small fire in the attic, inadvertently ignited insecticide vapor, with the resulting blaze causing about $100,000 damage to the roof (March). And a woman in Mecklenburg County, N.C., attempted to chase snakes out of a couch on her front porch by dousing the nest with lighter fluid, but then an accidentally dropped match set a fire large enough that she had to jump out a window to safety (June).

FETISH DU JOUR In July in Exeter, England, Paul Pennington pleaded guilty to engaging in sexual activity in a public restroom, while incidentally dressed in a baby diaper, bib and girl’s dress and carrying a baby bottle (but also wearing a stuffed bra). And Sean Kelly, 35, was arrested in Sebastian, Fla., in July, and charged with fraudulently attempting to obtain health-care services after he showed up at a clinic complaining of back pain but dressed in a baby diaper (which he eventually “loaded,” demanding a change). And Calvin Milo Alvarez, 30, was arrested in Fayetteville, Ark., in May on a child pornography charge after he was found by police, arguing with another man at an apartment house, with Alvarez dressed in a baby diaper

and bleeding from the mouth.

LATEST RELIGIOUS MESSAGES Britain’s Church Mission Society, with 200 missionaries around the world, decided recently that a place that needs one the most is the town of Telford, England (population 150,000), where fewer than one in a hundred residents attends an Anglican church.

Said a CMS spokesman, “These days the CMS goes to the hard places and takes on the hard cases.” The Church of England might have a larger problem, according to a July survey by Bangor University researchers: 3 percent of its clergy doubts the existence of God, which works out to nearly 300 non-believing ministers.

IF THEY BUILD IT, THEY WON’T COME A growing number of historical sites in Mecca (perhaps even including the home of the Prophet Muhammad) may soon fall to urban renewal as developers plan skyscrapers with stores and condominiums, according to a July Reuters dispatch. Ironically, many devout Wahhabi Muslims support the demolition, hoping to prevent people from worshipping such “sacred” buildings instead of concentrating on their proper duties in Islam. Those Wahhabis view only the Grand Mosque, which is the destination for the annual hajj pilgrimages, as untouchable.

AMERICAN TALIBAN The New Born Fellowship Christian Center in Rochester, N.Y., recently adopted a severalweeks-long “Spiritual Warfare” theme that featured its pastor, Warren Meeks, delivering sermons while in military fatigues (and asking congregants to wear fatigues, too), to battle the spirits opposing U.S. troops overseas and those challenging American youth with drugs and gangs. Meeks also brought in an Army missile, to help with the message, according to a report on WHAM-TV.

FIRST THINGS FIRST In June, the Arab Balad party went to court in Haifa, Israel, challenging ultra-nationalist Jews of the Gush Katif settlement, who are virulently opposing the government’s mandatory withdrawal from Gaza. However, the Balads’ complaint has little to do with sovereignty or religion. The party has for years used orange as its organizing theme color and filed the lawsuit to make the upstart Gush Katif stop using orange in its own materials.

THINNING THE HERD The bodies of Kentucky State Reformatory inmates Avery C. Roland, 26, and Michael Talbot Jr., 24, were found in a nearby landfill the day after they went missing in July; a Department of Corrections official said they had probably hidden inside a garbage truck without realizing that, to prevent escapes, the prison requires that garbage be compacted twice before it leaves the grounds.

Weekly Newspapers in Crisis Can ‘Alternatives’ beat Craigslist?

The poster, of a smiling man’s face in a red circle with a diagonal no-parking-style slash through it, hung on walls at the most recent convention of the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies in San Diego.

Meeting rooms at the Westin were jammed with editors and publishers anxiously hatching plans to defend themselves from this fiend. Down the hall in the exhibitors’ hall, vendors offered products guaranteed to help make him go away once and for all.

The pudgy face terrorizing newspaperdom belongs to Craig Newmark, the 51year-old founder of craigslist.org, a website that features classified ads from jobs listings to threesomes with randy couples.

Craigslist posts about five million new ads per month, but only charges for 160,000 listings for jobs—for now. Craigslist’s profits and capitalization are somewhat of a mystery, but where their business is coming from isn’t: people who used to advertise in newspapers. Thanks to Craigslist and other online listings services, print classified revenues are plummeting, both in traditional dailies like the Seattle Times and the Chicago Tribune and in the alternative weekly papers favored by readers under 40, like the Seattle Weekly, Chicago Reader and the one you’re reading right now.

“Some analysts,” says a BBC business report, “are already predicting that newspaper classified advertising could vanish entirely [because of Craigslist].” Since classifieds amount to as much as 40 percent of a paper’s income, that could force many to shut down.

Before Craigslist, weeklies were killing dailies. Noting that adult readership of daily newspapers dropped from 78 percent in 1950 to 65 percent in 1995, Jeff vonKaenel, owner of the Sacramento News & Review and other weeklies, predicted the end of dailies by 2007: “Within the next ten years [he wrote in 1997], most local daily newspapers across the nation will be out of existence.

Or they will be losing so much money, they will wish they were out of business.”

Even after 9/11 prolonged the recession, vonKaenel’s forecast still looked realizable. The average weekly was taking in roughly a third as much advertising revenue as the average daily in 2002, but with less than a tenth of the staff or overhead. Meanwhile, weeklies were trending up—in total number, ad listings, page count and respectability. Panicked dailies, trending the opposite direction with fewer, older readers, launched so-called “faux weeklies”—corporate-owned tabloids designed to appeal to the week-

lies’ Gen X and Y demographic.

The Craigslist phenomenon has changed all that. Dailies and weeklies are facing similar drops in ad revenue, but, unlike so many dailies, few weeklies are owned by deep-pocketed corporate parents capable of weathering sustained losses. And alternative weeklies are given away free, so they can’t fall back on subscription revenues.

In my hometown, NY Press has become a study in page-count entropy. “Is that thing still in business?” is a standard comment when the ever-skinnier weekly comes up in conversation. Greenville (SC) MetroBeat, Las Vegas Mercury and Spokane (WA) Local Planet have all ceased publication during the last year.

As classified ads go away, display ads become the last game in town. Media buyers for big advertisers find it easier to buy display ads—the big ones with pictures—from chains of dailies that can offer exposure from coast to coast than to purchase them from one weekly at a time.

No one wants to speak for attribution about the crisis in the weeklies, but staffers sing the same sad song. “We’re dying,” the editor of a major weekly confides. “We have all these meetings to deal with Craigslist, but no one knows what to do about it. It’s too late for our [newspaper] website because the Web readers are gone and they’re never coming back.”

‘Big Local People’

Another editor at a smaller weekly is more sanguine: “We’ll survive for now, but only because we’ve got one staffer doing the work of the other two we’ve let go. But I don’t see how we’ll be able to expand, to get better.”

Weekly newspapers do important work.

They publish music reviews, edgy cartoons (I got my start in one) and cultural coverage that matter to young adults—and get ignored by the dailies. They pride themselves on their scrappy coverage of local news and politics. In July, for example, federal prosecutors filed criminal medical fraud charges against a California doctor as the result of a series that appeared in OC Weekly.

Most are editorially left-ofcenter at a time when the mainstream media is running right. Whenever one of these vibrant publications goes out of business, it’s a loss for the country. MTW

My father, being something of a cynic, has long observed that, “No good deed goes unpunished.” Gus Hoeft, who runs Hapa’s Nightclub in Kihei, understands this only too well.

On Aug. 4, 2005, Hoeft had to appear before the Maui County Liquor Control Board of Adjudication on three charges of being open after 2 a.m., in defiance of county liquor law. Pleading no contest reduced the case to just two charges, but Hoeft knew they had him.

What happened was simple: Hoeft’s friends and co-workers sprung a surprise birthday party on him on May 28, 2005. Hoeft obviously had no idea it was planned, and by the time he realized it was keeping his place open past county-mandated closing time, it was too late.

Liquor Control Officer John McMurray cracked the case of the illegal surprise party. It wasn’t easy, either—his report made clear the significant risks he took in his quest for justice.

Conducting closing checks on the night in question, McMurray stopped by Hapa’s.

There, at approximately 2:30 in the morning, he found a number of off-duty employees and band members sitting around, eating food from take-out containers. McMurray noted that three of the people were drinking beer.

But there was something odd about the whole party. Normally tasked with interviewing all witnesses and taking photographs of everyone involved, McMurray left the party people alone. During the Aug. 4 Adjudication Board hearing, deputy prosecuting attorney Scott Hanano said simply that McMurray didn’t interview witnesses because of “safety concerns.”

“I’m sorry, what was the reason?” asked board member Lance Collins.

Hanano fumbled through McMurray’s report, then explained that the veteran LC officer reported that since the partygoers were all “big local people,” he “felt at risk” if he tried to interview and photograph them.

That brought a hearty laugh from board members and hearing visitors alike. Apparently filled with good cheer—and empathy for the way Hoeft’s birthday turned out—the board rejected the prosecution’s wish for $2,000 in fines and just sentenced Hoeft to a $500 fine and a letter of reprimand.

Praying in Korea’s Haein Temple By Kellie Holliday

After a long bus ride through the Korean countryside we arrived at our destination, or so we thought. “It’s just a short hike. We can walk, yes?” said our tour guide. Everyone seemed up for it so off we went. But our “short” hike turned out to be a mile and a half straight up a road into the Gaya Mountain. As we hiked, we watched a constant stream of Japanese tourists going by us in taxis.

When we got to the temple, we found quite a path of steps leading into the main compound. And what steps: only about six inches deep, they were also each at least a foot high. You see, Koreans have this thing about steps: they believe that the higher up something is, the greater the power and status it holds. So breathing hard and soaking wet, we ascended through three gates.

My journey into Haein Temple in South Korea was part of a two-week study tour with 19 other public high school students. From June 20 to July 4, 2005, the 20 of us, along with three chaperones from the Pacific and Asian affairs Council (www.paachawaii.org), toured South Korea. The tour was made possible by a generous grant from the Freeman Foundation.

Haein Temple—or as the Koreans refer to it, Haeinsa—is home of the Tripitaka Koreana, the three major Buddhist canons Praying: continued on page 13

Scootering Through Cozumel Streets By Jen Russo Drinking in a Kabul Bar

By Barukh Shalev

The minute our cruise ship arrived in Cozumel, Mexico, my husband and I walked past the pre-fabricated cruise ship passenger shopping area, tour operators and boat rides at the docks, until we found a guy quietly renting motor scooters.

We got a scooter for just $45 American for the day; he made us take helmets, but then put them in the storage under the seat. The scooter dude drew us a map to the Mayan ruins at San Gervacio, and that’s where we headed.

We made a few circles around downtown San Miguel trying to figure out his map, but after we saw a huge Quiksilver store and an Atlantis Submarines building we wondered if we’d ever left Lahaina. After doing a complete circle around town we passed by the same moped rental stand where we started. Deciding the shop guy must not venture far from his place of business, we scrapped his map. Besides, how do you get lost on an island?

Weaving our way through avenue after avenue we discovered some of the more Mexican areas of town: electronics shops, pawnshops, super-

Earlier this month I was sitting at the bar of the Mustafa Hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan, drinking a Heineken, when Dante walked in. He was wearing a white t-shirt, jeans and a heavy silver crucifix. His hair was cut short into a tight fade. He had a toothpick in his mouth and a pencil thin mustache.

“Waz’ up dude,” he said. He held out a hand.

“Ain’t shit,” I told him.

The Mustafa Hotel had bright lights and polished black marble floors. On the other side of the room the workers watched MTV. I ordered him a Heineken.

We drank and talked, then another man walked up to the bar. He was holding a tinfoil-wrapped plate of food. He wore a black leg holster with a pistol and rainbow colored, wrap-around sunglasses. He and Dante were friends.

They talked a bit. Still new in town, I asked what they did for fun.

“Drink,” Dante said chuckling. “Shit. Ain’t shit to do but drink!’

“Drink where?”

“Either here or, well, some guys to go Copacabana’s. That just opened up last month. On Tuesdees, they got hip-hop.”

It was Tuesday, so we went.

market, university and finally a small highway that took us to San Gervacio.

Taking the moped to maximum speed we sped through the Cozumel countryside, Motorcycle Diaries-style. It seemed like everyone had a three-wheel bicycle sporting one wheel behind your butt and two others in front supporting a bench. I saw one guy using his as a moving van, hauling boxes, a lamp, futon, clothes and a television.

Absorbing all this at 35 miles per hour was intoxicating. So when the motorcycle cop suddenly appeared behind us it was a total buzz kill. He grilled us in Spanish about who rented us the speed devil scooter and why we weren’t wearing helmets.

When we said we didn’t speak Spanish, he motioned to his helmet and pointed at our heads. Remembering that the scooter guy had put them in the secret compartment under the seat we produced our protective headgear and put it on. After a call to his headquarters the cop sent us on our way with a flick of his hand.

Finally, we found San Gervacio. We paid our fees to go in and walk around. These ruins were populated from 300 to 900 AD. The Mayan people fashioned a stout village there with huge walking paths that ran north, south, east and west across the island. Other Mayan people at the time traveled to Cozumel because of the fertility goddesses that resided in temples here.

Walking around, I found small holes in the ground and asked our guide what kind of animal lived there. He chuckled and explained that the Mayan people tunneled out storage areas and rooms underground to get out of the intense heat. He invited me to climb in the hole and check it out. After I was crouched in he mentioned that Mayans were also very short and could fit in these tunneled rooms easily. Me, not so easily.

All of this learning made us hungry so we headed back into town to find some authentic Cozumel grub. We decided to try the avenue bordering the university, figuring students—like everywhere—would eat good and cheap. We soon found a little place across from the university serving carnitas.

We went for the tacos, which were about 50 cents. The three ladies there spoke no English and giggled at our broken Spanish, our lameness with the pesos and our anxious hunger.

I marveled at their little taqueria, decorated ceiling to floor with pig mementoes and trinkets. There were happy little pigs everywhere to keep us company while we devoured roasted pork. MTW

All around Copacabana’s were barricades, check points, barbed wire and blinding bright lights. Located in the Wazir Akhbar Kahn district, it was close to Kabul’s embassies. At the entrance was a badass, olive green armored jeep sporting a stenciled Bulgarian flag on its doors. Two sullen soldier girls stood next to the vehicle, looking bored and smoking cigarettes.

Copacabana’s owner is an AfghanAmerican with meticulous facial hair.

He wore light blue jeans with splotches of bleach in the thighs. His eyebrows were waxed into geometric shapes and his hair was gelled into a spiky barb. His whole head looked sharp and precise.

“Waz’ up, man?” he asked when I got to the door. He was standing in a tight knot of other spiky haired 20somethings.

“I wanna drink,” I said.

“Sure, man,” he said. “Inside.” He opened the door and I went inside.

The interior of Copacabana’s looked like a Starbucks; large red couches, solid colors, long, angular lines. It was air conditioned and cool. The DJ was playing an up-tempo, break-beat version of “Tom’s Diner.”

I ordered a Jack and Coke and sat down.

There were three girls dancing on the dance floor. In a seat near them a fat old man in a white suit patted his leg and flopped his bald head around lamely to the beat. A smoke machine noisily hissed out clouds of white steam, which wrapped around the legs of the girls and dissipated near their heads.

Some off-duty soldiers came through the double doors, scanning the room as the DJ began playing “Eye of the Tiger.”

They went and stood at the bar. Upright and southern, they all wore tight blue jeans with large belt buckles. They stood in a tight circle, talking and laughing, telling dirty jokes and drinking their Budweisers.

One of them recognized me from town and sat down across from me on an oversized maroon chair.

He bought me a beer. I told him I was a writer and he put his cigarette in his mouth and took out his wallet, squinting from the smoke.

He pulled out a card, crossed something off of it, then handed it me. It showed his name, rank and an Afghan flag crossed with an American one.

“I am very cautious of writers,” he said.

“You should be,” I said. “They will screw you, if you’re not careful.”

Then I asked what he was doing in Afghanistan.

He looked away from me. “Now, well,” he said, chuckling. “I am gonna be real honest with you.”

‘Go ahead, man,” I said. “I don’t give a fuck what you do.”

“I do… radio stuff,” he said, wincing.

“You know… for the army radio. I teach Afghans how to broadcast from the radio stations and do news. I’m like a journalist, kind of. But for the army.”

What the hell is so wrong with that?”

I asked. “Sounds a fuckin’ lot better then gettin’ a bullet in your ass.”

“Well,” he said, looking around. “Just once, I mean… it sounds crazy, but just once I would like to get into a firefight.

To prove to myself that I’m worth it. I know it’s not cool to kill anyone and that’s not really what I am talking about.

I don’t wanna kill no one. I’ve known guys who have killed and they are fucked—really fucked. They go home, discharged and are never the same. But still, I want to know if I have it. That edge they teach you about in training.

You have it or you don’t. I wanna know if I got it.”

I looked at the rest of the soldiers.

They were all dancing with a fat blond girl who worked at the Swiss embassy.

Everyone was gyrating and making pained faces.

“Look, you have guys here… it’s like a game,” he went on. “They wear all the shit—you know, full armor, M-16’s, but that’s all photo ops. To show the grandkids. Because it’s safe here, you know.

Kabul is safe. You can do your time and feel like a real hero. Afghanistan is easy.

I know guys who got bronze medals for sitting in an office. Out in Kandahar or Nuristan, that’s where the action is. I want to go there to prove it to myself.

That I can do it and survive.

“There is a culture in the army,” he continued. “To get respect you have to take risks. Radio journalists get no respect. It’s a macho culture, know what I mean?”

“Where you from?” I asked.

“The sticks, man,” he said. “Outside Corpus-Christi.”

“Lots of southern people out here,” I said.

“Yep,” he said. “They say that most of the army is southern. I never had any idea about places like this. I grew up, like I said, in a small town, Texas. Then I came here… whole different shit. I mean, you can think about it. Think about what places like this are like but then you see it. You feel it. You know what I mean? To feel it?”

He was getting drunk.

“You mind?” I asked, taking out my notebook.

“Hell no, I don’t mind,” he said. “But whatever I say to you, I didn’t say, you understand? The things I talk about, they don’t happen, right?”

“Gotcha,” I said. We shook hands.

He leaned back. “You can phrase this however you want,” he said. “The U.S. military is a political moving force. A Political… Moving… Force. The thing with other armies—my friends in other armies all tell me this—is that other armies do things only essential to their

immediate survival. What we do in the U.S. armed forces is move societies politically so we, you know, the United States, are safer and more secure. It’s a different kind of warfare. The problem is that.”

A friend of his sat down with us. He said his name was Ben. He was drunk, too.

“The problem is there are no ladies here,” Ben shouted over the music. “It’s weird, you know. In Afghanistan there are different kinds of women. Check it out: there are the ones with the full veil, then there are the ones with, like, this half shit like this”—Ben put his hand over his nose—“and then there are the ones with just the hair covered. Those are the hottest. I don’t know why but they are the hottest ones.”

“Yeah, girls here are good,” I said.

“Well, I am married, so fuck it,” Ben said, throwing his hands into the air. “I’m the only guy who is married and I dance with all the bitches. Before I got married I was a pussy. Now look. This guy”—he pointed at my mysterious friend—“he don’t dance with noooobody.

“Joining the army, man,’ Ben continued, “shit. Worst thing I ever did. Live in shit-“ My friend elbowed him, shaking his head, looking at him.

“Shitty food,” Ben said, unmoved.

“No women. Idiot people, all the army does is fuck peoples’ lives up.”

My friend elbowed him again, hard this time.

“Stop elbowing me, dude,” Ben said.

“I’ll punch you right in the face. You joined the army because you quit school.”

“I didn’t quit school,” my friend said.

“I finished high school and went to the army instead of college.”

“You quit school,” Ben said. “Quit bitchin’. I joined the army to help people. Listen: I work in the embassy tracking expenses. That means I gotta be ‘bad guy,’ right? I look in records and see they spent $500,000 on building a clinic in Paghman. I go to Paghman. No clinic.

No nuthin’. So then I gotta go to these people with fuckin’ Ph.Ds and shit and say, ‘Look, you are screwing the Afghan people. You are screwing the Afghan people, you fucker.’ Then everyone hates me and I have to go work in the basement where water sprays me in the face every morning.”

“Yeah,” I said, trying to take it all in.

“Where do you guys live anyway?”

My unnamable friend laughed.

“I live in the nicest house I have ever been in,” he said. “Gold toilet seats, marble floors, hot water all the time.

Immaculate.”

“You fuckin’ serious?” I asked.

“How?” “It’s the former house of a warlord,” he said. “The United States captures them and puts the troops there. We live like kings.” MTW

carved on 80,000 wooden blocks about 750 years ago. The buildings were beautiful and the surrounding mountains were breathtaking. As we entered the compound we were greeted by temple matrons who had us put on these funny little gray outfits, then told us to walk everywhere in two lines.

In the lecture hall a monk greeted us and taught us how to “half bow” for our friends and the monks, but do “three big bows” to Buddha. We were then given free time to roam the grounds or shop at the temple store that was stocked with prayer bracelets, CDs of meditation music, incense and candles.

At dinner we had to eat everything put on our plates—they don’t waste anything—and we had to remain silent. The water we drank came from outdoor basins filled by mountain springs.

After dinner we went to the drum house, where four large drums hung from the ceiling. One large ox-skin drum wakes all animals with skin; the second was a brass bell that wakes the spirits of the dead; the third a cloudshaped gong that wakes animals that fly; and the last was a wooden fish that wakes creatures underwater.

Five young monks took turns hitting the ox-skin drum for about 12 minutes, their faces inches from the drum’s surface. At times a single drummer sounded more like two or three. Growing up in Hawai’i, drumming always gives me a spiritual feeling.

Later we went back to the lecture hall where our Sun-Neem (monk) had tea with us and humorously answered our questions about Buddhism. He encouraged us to participate in the morning ceremony and go with him to meditation. Since it was now about 9 p.m., we all showered and went to bed so we could wake up for the 3 a.m. meditation.

In Hawai’i time, that’s like going to bed at 4:30 p.m. and waking up at 11 p.m.

No one slept well because it was so hot—our beds sat on hard heated floors. In the morning we once again saw the drums and then headed to the service. For morning meditation we did 33 big bows—which is a great workout—and sat in contemplation for half an hour. When we were finished we met in the lecture hall to make prints of a Tripitika block. Then we took a walk up to a smaller temple holding the Saryra—gold pieces found in the ashes of a cremated body—of a recently deceased high priest.

When we were done we collected our things, gave back our little outfits and were given a few minutes to take pictures around the temple. Then we said our thanks and goodbyes to those who showed us around during our stay. We left Haeinsa feeling a little bit sweaty, but more spiritually refreshed than ever. MTW

If you are what you eat, and you eat at Joy’s Place, then you’re a smart cookie.

Literally. This hole in the wall health food restaurant is obscure, located on South Kihei Road opposite a cove swarming with surfers and beach rats. I’m slightly embarrassed that it took me two days to find, and I drove right past the turn twice.

Driving south, look for the cove on your right and a sign screaming Kayak and Surf on your left; down this little road is a string of shops squatting below condominium units. The shops—a massage therapy clinic, hair and nail salons, tanning beds and Joy’s Place—are devoted to taking care of the physical self.

The motto at Joy’s Place is “Smart Eating,” and they’ve managed to make even eating cookies and brownies a nutritious experience. This is part of their crusade in maximizing the natural, organic quality of foods and minimizing their processing. Each item on the menu is deconstructed into its ingredients so you know exactly what you’re putting into your body. How often can you say that?

If you aren’t conscious about what you eat when you walk in, you certainly become so reading the menu. The assortment of wraps, salads, soups and sandwiches are lovingly described and labeled when Vegan.

This meticulous care for nutrition hints that there’s a small but resolute counterculture arrayed against the onslaught of artificial, processed and chemically enhanced foods. My fellow

customers at Joy’s looked to be a part of this culture, wearing their healthy lifestyles on their sleeves while enjoying the organic grub.

Most sandwiches run between $8 and $10, salads between $4 and $10, and there’s a nice selection of chai and spiced teas and treats.

Within its super-healthy realm, Joy’s has a pretty diverse menu, making liberal use of avocados, fresh turkey, tuna, hummus, soy, wheat, cabbage and clover sprouts. I’m not sure what the latter items are, but I’m pretty sure I ate them.

Monday’s daily lunch special was marinated asparagus sandwich on toasted sourdough with lemon thyme, provolone, tomatoes, onions, carrots and sprouts. When describing the taste, the first word that came to mind was wholesome. It was good, but not in the blissful way that a cheeseburger at Cool Cat’s is good. At the same time, would you really want every ingredient of such a meal unveiled to you when you order?

The satisfaction I felt came more from knowing that eating this kind of food habitually would probably make me live to be 200 years old. This might explain why health nuts always have that secretive smile on their face.

Nothing excites some people more than organic vegetables and smoothies. You folks will be very turned on by the numerous choices, particularly even the “smart” vegan and wheat-free raisin oatmeal cookie. But if you’re one of those people who consider dairy-free Veganaise and collard greens to be dirty words, then go elsewhere for lunch.

Those of you whose priorities waver between healthy and yummy will be surprised to see the catchy, tasty things they can do with health food. Then again, you can always get soup and a sandwich at Joy’s Place and top it off with a Baskin Robbins milkshake: the best of both worlds and partially guilt-free. MTW

There is only one other person who has worked at Marco’s as long as I have. She and I both started working there when the restaurant opened in 1993. I came over from the Philippines in 1980. I worked at the Hyatt in Lahaina, doing landscaping during my first 13 years on Maui.

Then Marco’s opened up and was closer to my home. I knew it was going to be a really nice restaurant so I applied and have been there ever since.

I work as a busser during the day and a dishwasher during the night. I always like my job but I enjoy bussing a little more. The people I work with are really nice. The owners and managers all treat me like family. They make me feel very comfortable. The food is great as well.

We serve pasta and grilled food. My favorite dish is the seafood pasta. Customers enjoy the food we provide and the way we make them feel. It makes me feel proud to be part of such a great company. We make a lot of people’s day.

I have only had two jobs in Maui but I like working for Marco’s the best and plan on being there for a long time. I will work for the next 10 to 15 years, then I will retire from the restaurant business and from Marco’s. MTW

Taking a Closer Look Friday, 6:30 p.m. at The Studio Maui [ART] Nothing is as it appears in life. And the scientific art of Dr. Gary Greenberg will help you take that closer look at the world as you know it. His micrographic art exhibit entitled “Nature’s Miniatures” focuses (ha ha) on Greenberg’s scientific explorations of the microscopic world, with an aesthetically pleasing and somewhat psychedelically artistic bent. His art is in “creating dramatic landscapes of a world beyond everyday perception—a world where reality is seen as exquisite structures, abstract forms, colors, motion and texture.”

Art and Science? Who knew?! But it works!

The opening reception on Friday is from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., with a free presentation and lecture at 7:30 p.m., also featuring electro-acoustic composer Peter Swanzy. The Studio Maui is located at 810 Haiku Rd. For more info, call 575-9390. [SAMANTHA CAMPOS]

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

by Samantha Campos

The Foot Whisperer Saturday and Sunday, 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. in Kihei

Ho’omana’o

[HEALTH] I have a podo-phobia. I think it started when I was much younger and my poor, overworked mom used to make me massage her cracked, calloused, severely dry feet. It totally grossed me out—having to rub lotion between her knobby toes, as flakes of skin would fall off in my lap. [Shudder.]

But my friend Marty says feet are the windows to your body’s overall wellbeing.

He insists that by going barefoot, he has thwarted illness and infection for years. Even so, I cannot shake the image of dear ma and her bunioned appendages. To this day, I can’t stand it when feet touch me, which makes playing footsy with lovers obsolete. Obviously, I could benefit from a session with Jane Sheehan (pictured) She’s a holistic practitioner who believes a little reflexology and foot “reading” helps people “identify issues” and move on with their life. She ensures that you will you gain emotional insight into “any imbalance you find on the feet,” such as webbed toes, hard skin, twisted toes, high arches, bunions, gaps between toes, colors, shapes, sizes, etc. Hunh.

Well, I guess it’s worth a shot! For more info on her one-day workshops or to schedule a personal reading, call 875-8820.

Sundae!

Saturday-Sunday, 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. at Lahaina Cannery Mall

Saturday, 10 a.m. at War Memorial Complex [FOOD] I am not a creature of habit. I find delight in switching things up and trying the new and the strange. Thusly, there are few things in my life that I keep constant.

Contact with my family and friends are one. Keeping journals and quotes is another. However, there is one thing I can guarantee you; there is ALWAYS ice cream in my freezer. Ice cream is sacred. If I feel grumpy, ice cream can give me the attitude adjustment I need. When I have cramps, I swear ice cream is the only thing that curbs the pain. That’s why this event brings a little tear of joy to the corner of my eye. Sniff… Give me a second I’m feeling a little verclempt—talk amongst yourselves. Cathy Nobriga Kim from Roselani Ice Cream is going to create an “Ultimate Roselani Ice Cream Sundae” using about 100 gallons of ice cream.

In my book, that makes her at Saint status. This miracle will take place at the County of Maui Centennial Celebration at the War Memorial Soccer Field. If you see a crazed woman knocking people out of the way to get to the sundae, utensils in hand, you should probably move. It’ll be me and I will not hesitate to fork you and spoon you, too. [HEIDI KING]

DAY

[DANCE/MUSIC] The International Cultural Festival means that people from all around Maui will be coming together and performing music and dance from different world cultures. The performers are diverse in age as well as style and everyone, no matter how young or old, will enjoy these gathered talents. The festival will begin with the Watanabe Taiko Drummers, a family who each have more than 20 years experience making music. This group began five generations ago with founder Tomijiro Watanabe who played in his village in the early 1900s. Since then the tradition has continued and the group has continued playing the old-time songs as well as their original music, which has been written over the past 100 years. Neto Peraza (pictured) will be the final performance of the show, playing the guitar with South American flare. Peraza has been playing for over 30 years and continues to entertain, performing traditional Flamenco style as well as Latin dance and pop. Over the course of two days many musicians, dance academies, and troupes of Tahitian, Japanese, and Hula dancers, will be honoring their cultures by representing the originality of each, performing side by side.

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY

Red Eye, Black Eye Wes Craven stalls again with limp thriller Red Eye screenwriter Carl Ellsworth’s admission that he wrote the movie with inspiration from Joel Schumacher’s notoriously hokey Phone Booth (2003) speaks volumes about the tedious straight-line narrative Ellsworth gives to horror master Wes Craven (The Hills Have Eyes) to direct. Craven fails to elevate the lackluster script and does surprisingly little to add scares where the suspense lags for sequences at a time. Up-andcoming actor Cillian Murphy falls flat in his successive second-rate outing after a lightweight performance in Batman Begins.

Red Eye

★★★★★ Rated PG-13/85 mins.

If you’ve seen its theatrical trailer then you’ve seen Red Eye. Lisa Reisert (Rachel McAdams—The Notebook) is an annoying “total-quality-management” type of hotel manager on an overnight flight from Dallas to Miami where her luxury hotel awaits. Lisa’s fear of flying is overshadowed by the immediate threat to her father’s (Brian Cox—The Bourne

Supremacy) life posed by her crafty seatmate Jackson Rippner (Cillian Murphy).

Jackson goes to great pains to keep in touch with an associate staking out Lisa’s dad as a hostage-in-waiting to force Lisa to call her hotel and have them switch a room reserved for Charles Keefe (Jack Scalia) the “Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security.” The audience is supposed to buy that these are professional killers who want to bump off a key politician by kidnapping the relative of a hotel exec in order to switch their target’s heavily guarded room so they can fire a missile from their patrolling fishing boat. The skewed logic of this crucial narrative conceit gets stretched so thin that the film’s explosive climax raises audience guffaws rather than cheers.

The utter silliness of Murphy’s character marks him as more clown than villain and the potential joy of seeing him overpowered is diminished by his brain-challenged condition that generates pearls of bum dialogue in nearly every scene. The subplots, involving Lisa’s uncharacterized father Joe and a blank Miami-visiting politician, are neglected such that they’re barely sustained as even simple plot devices. The ordinarily reliable Brian Cox is reduced to literally phoning in his performance (he’s on the phone for half of the movie).

Wow, your eye really is red But Rachel McAdams takes the brunt of the shame for characterizing a greasy peoplepleasing hotel manager. As one of the most loathed archetypes of the business world “managers” occupy a dusty home among character types that are generally prohibited from occupying the elite title of protagonist.

While the audience is left to ponder a world with one less manager in it, the movie flaunts its embarrassing ruse of attempting to generate suspense on board an airplane without ever committing to the freak-out experience it implies. The in-air travel time that we expect to be filled with nervy tension and acts of desperation turns out to be nothing more than a sequence of smalltime oneupsmanship between a couple of people who are more fit to

play checkers than chess.

When Lisa finally gets around to giving her attacker his comeuppance, she uses a child’s ballpoint pen as if it were a dagger. The weapon serves as an appropriately childish relic of the film’s B-movie aspirations and allows Jackson Rippner the ability to give chase up until the bitter end.

Red Eye is a huge disappointment because Wes Craven is a highly skilled and original director who took a paycheck to direct a bland Hollywood movie. We’ve come to expect a lion’s share of “Boo!” surprises from the director of the Scream franchise but Wes Craven seems to be either too lazy or just not interested in producing shocker scenes. If you’re a fan of Wes Craven, don’t see Red Eye. MTW

This film’s been called a "Comic Gem" by the Hollywood Reporter and "A sweet, true... universal love story" by the Washington Post. Rated R. 91 min.

New This Week 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN - (R) - Comedy - This is one of those pictures in which the title pretty much tells you everything you need to know.

Steve Carell, The Daily Show’s funniest correspondent, stars in this twist on the old, well-told story of the guy whose friends attempt to help into the sack. If this works, it’ll be because Carell is his usually hilarious self and the producers didn’t puss out and try to make this a PG-13 flick.

116 min. (Anthony Pignataro) HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE - (PG) - Animation - This is an anime film by Hayao Miyazaki, director of the Academy Award-winning Spirited Away. It’s already won three international Best Film awards.

It involves a young woman who heads off to the land of wizards and witches—no, not our nation’s capital—in hopes of reversing some curse cast on her by the Witch of the Waste. I think I went out with her once. Anyway, it includes the voices of Lauren Bacall, Billy Crystal, Christian Bale and Jean Simmons. 118 min. (AP) RED EYE - (PG13) - Thriller - There’s nothing worse than sitting next to some goon on a long flight at midnight. Either they’re chatty or smelly or they fall asleep drooling on your shoulder. Well, imagine Lisa’s (Rachel McAdams, The Notebook) surprise when handsome Jackson (Cillian Murphy, Batman Begins) with the big baby blues sits next to her. But don’t worry, dude turns out to be more creepy-scary than sexy as he tells her his plans to assassinate some important political figure—and if she tries to stop him, he’ll kill her father, too. Geez...

Hey, stewardess! Oh, flight attendant? Sorry. Uh, could you please seat me next to the drooly guy?

Yeah, thanks. 85 min. (Samantha Campos) SUPERCROSS - (PG) - Action - Gag me. Okay, two brothers race dirt bikes. Lemme guess: At first, they’re going to be super close. Then they’ll run into some hardships. I’m guessing a girl might be involved in the demise of their relationship. They’ll become rivals. Hmm... I also think one or the other will face a physical challenge with some crash or something. Yeah, then in the end, one or both of them will win the Big Race, their brotherhood will be restored and they’ll probably both “get the girl.” There—I just saved you $10. You’re welcome. 92 min. (Heidi King) VALIANT - (G) - Animation, Family - Okay, so it’s a Walt Disney film about patriotic carrier pigeons during World War II. Got it. 109 min. (SC)

Now Showing 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. (AP) 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.

EAR SHOT Metal-copia NILE “ANNIHILATION OF THE WICKED”

(death metal)

Finding new ways to approach a highly sophisticated genre of music such as death metal is becoming increasingly difficult. For some metal fans, speed and intensity is all that’s needed, while others like the slow breakdowns that they can mosh to. Annihilation of the Wicked has something for everyone and illustrates clearly why Nile is at the top of the heap of death metal. Fusing ancient Egyptian texts, sinister vocals, fast and furious fretwork with unbelievably even faster drumming, Nile comes across as a heavier version of Iron Maiden. Annihilation of the Wicked also boasts some very creative song titles, including “Chapter of Obeisance Before Giving Breath to the Inert One in the Presence of the Cresent (sic) Shaped Horns.” —Relapse Records 2005

SENTENCED “THE FUNERAL ALBUM”

(melodic hard rock)

I wasn’t familiar with Sentenced at all until Ian from Khrinj excitedly told me about The Funeral Album. Sentenced has been around for quite awhile; in their first incarnation they were a Finnish death metal band and after replacing their original vocalist they became a more melodic, hard rock oriented band. Interestingly, Sentenced knew they were going to break up as a band and wrote this album as a farewell to their fans. Fans of a sound that is reminiscent of the band Trouble will really enjoy this record. I really liked the gothic overtones and midtempo pace. Where some metal bands pulverize my ears with blistering speed, Sentenced build their songs with bulldozer-sized riffs that slowly grind into my head with excruciating pleasure. Long live Sentenced! —Century Media Records 2005

Dr. Nat & Rio Ritmo

(experimental ambient metal with cartoon samples)

Well, supposedly this album was created in conjunction with Delerium Cordia, the ambient third studio album from Fantomas.

Suspended Animation is similar to the first self-titled album, using cartoon samples instead of horror and kung-fu movie soundtracks. Ideas bounce around this album like the bubble machine in Willie Wonka.

Just when you think you have a grasp of where the band is going, a contrasting blast of sound rips you out of complacency. Each song is based on a miniature holiday in the month of April; April 9th is the “Day of the Amazon Goddess” in Brazil, while April 30th is “National Honesty Day,” celebrated in the U.S. Take a moment to imagine what an Honesty Day would sound like—I thought it would be silence. Instead, Fantomas plays it as a Les Baxter lounge tune morphing into a CroMags type of riff trailing off in ambient moaning. Then, Bugs Bunny asks, “What did you expect in an opera, a happy ending?” —Ipecac Records 2005

Sexy is as Sexy Does Breaking it down with The Brazilian Girls The Brazilian Girls know how to throw a party. Coming out of New York’s underground jazz scene, they’re a band that gets the people grooving with their eclectic repertoire of jazzy, funky dance music.

Their first album, Brazilian Girls, came out on Verve Records in February and the band’s live performances are electrifying and theatrical.

Italian born singer Sabina Sciubba sings seductively in five languages. The out-of-this-world atmospherics are courtesy of Argentinean keyboardist Didi Gutman and drummer Aaron Johnston.

Bassist Jesse Murphy rounds out the group. Recently I spoke with Murphy about their upcoming visit: MTW: Have you ever been to Hawai’i before? How do you picture Maui?

MURPHY: I picture nothing but saltwater to wash all the crap off of us because it’s going to be a long road. It’ll be great; I can’t wait to be there. I think we even have five or six days to hang out.

What’s the wildest thing that ever happened at a Brazilian Girls’ show?

That’s a good one. Definitely when people take off their clothes and it gets hot and crazy.

We get to this hyped-up place where there’s no turning back. The whole dance music thing makes for wild shows.

So how often does that happen?

Anytime we play a small, sweaty club. So I imagine people will take off their clothes in Maui.

And how. I’ve noticed that many of the blurbs about Brazilian Girls use the words “sexy, sultry, and seductive.”

How do you seduce listeners?

It’s a combination of the low end and not being able to see Sabina’s eyes. Her concealed eyes create a lot of mystery. Visually, she brings a lot of mystery to the stage. Then Didi takes you on a journey around the world with his playing, creating tension and building the mystery. You don’t know exactly what you’re getting and it forces you to listen in a different way.

What inspires you?

All the great New York musicians make us feel inspired. It’s the upside of living in this sweaty shithole. That’s why I couldn’t live in Maui. This community makes you want to create with other people. It’s a very collaborative community. We all know each other and play together and we get to hear each other play and inspire one another.

How do you perform night after night?

The Brazilian Girls Thu, Aug. 25, 9:15 p.m. & midnight shows at Casanova. $22 adv. Fri-Sat, Aug. 26-27, 10 p.m. at Hapa’s. $25 adv. Tickets on sale at hulatickets.com and locations across Maui, including Requests, Beach Road Records, Lahaina LiveWire Cafe and Paia Wine Corner.

Calisthenics, jumping jacks and lots of drugs. No, no, no! Music feeds itself and we get energy from one another and the crowd.

There are only four of us and when a thousand people walk with you, you realize you aren’t in control. Dancing dictates how the music sounds. This band adjusts to the energy of the crowd. I guess all bands do—people are receptive and responsive.

Dancing definitely controls the gig. And with Sabina singing in five languages the mystery grows and you feel transported. It can be hard enough to understand song lyrics in English, but mix in Italian, German, Spanish and French and you can feel somewhere else all together. Where we play in New York, at Nu Blue, you can hear 10 different languages on any given night.

There’s people from Turkey, Japan and all over Europe.

We’ve been working on some new stuff that isn’t on the record. So on Maui, we’ll play some more electro mash-up faster stuff, too.

Please describe the similarities between “Pussy” and “Marijuana” [from their self-titled album].

Hmmm. They both exist on Maui! Well, there is a common feeling. Kind of like a five note chord that resonates well together.

We’ve been well received so far and people go to the gig and then they get it. Our music has an abstract element, but people understand the humor in songs like “Pussy” and “Lazy Lover.” We like to keep the humor alive so people don’t think about what they usually think about. Or maybe with pussy and marijuana, people are thinking about what they usually think about.

That’s great. Have you played in Brazil?

No, not yet. We plan to remix songs from the Verve vault, though, and release an album with the proceeds benefiting a Brazilian charity. We’re trying to get together a tour of Brazil and Argentina around November.

Who are the sexiest girls in the world?

Sabina Sciubba, of course! Well, they’re all sexy. I’ve been traveling all around the world and I realize they’re all the same. You can’t change them. You just have to recognize what’s sexy. MTW

You don’t have to be a Brazilian or a girl to be sexy... but it helps

Bishop Museum’s Hula Today Exhibit - Through Aug. 31, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. at Old Jail Gallery, Old Lahaina Courthouse. This is the first international traveling exhibit of its kind of one of the world’s best known and beloved dance forms. Bringing together artifacts and costumes from winning Hula competitions, documents, films and sound recording, along with photographic images to tell the story of Hula. For info, call 661-0111.

You may not normally equate “presidential assassinations” with “a good idea for a leisurely trip” but why not? It’s fun reading—especially when voiced by NPR’s “This American Life” contributor Sarah Vowell. In a book that follows the assassinations of Presidents Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley, Vowell squeezes in all the juicy irreverence and self-deprecating humor you’d expect to find in a brainy friend’s diary. I mean, if you’re reduced to going on a literary trip instead of an actual one, why not learn a little something about the places and people who helped shape our country? We’re not talking stale travelogue or pedantic American studies here, people—history textbook, this is not.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 18

Picnic with Poki - 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in Wailuku, under the Monkeypod tree, next to the Historic Ka’ahumanu Church. Traditional Hawaiian music performed by Reiko Fukino, complimentary Jamba Juice, Starbucks Coffee. Donations benefit Punana Leo o Maui. For info, call 298-1648

A COOK’S TOUR

SATURDAY, AUGUST 20

BY ANTHONY BOURDAIN The search for the “perfect meal” takes Kitchen Confidential author Bourdain to interesting dinner tables around the world. There’s the feast of roasted sheep’s testicle at a Tuareg camp in Morocco, soft-broiled duck embryo in a Vietnamese fishing village and deep-fried Mars bars in Glasgow. But along the way, Bourdain infuses healthy dollops of sarcasm, sprinkles of swashbuckling adventure and a dash of cultural perspective. This book tastes great and won’t give you gas, unlike the goat’s head soup, lemongrass tripe and pork-blood cake.

V Dimension Opening Party - 9 p.m. at Live Wire Cafe, Lahaina. Modern Art by Eva Enriquez, Makid Kahhak, David Dickey. CD Release Party for Nomadic Profusion and Abe's Logic. Dress to impress. For info, call 877-2857.

Maui’s Centennial Celebration “Big Bash - 10 a.m. to sunset, at the War Memorial Complex. The “food” portion of events include the Maui Firefighters Chili Challenge, Ultimate Birthday Cake Challenge and Ultimate Roselani Ice Cream Sundae. Over 100 pounds of yummy ice cream, along with plenty of chocolate sauce and cherries to create the sundaes.

For info, call 242-8383.

KILLING YOURSELF TO LIVE

BY CHUCK KLOSTERMAN Spin contributor Klosterman embarks on a cross-country tour of rock and roll death sites, starting with the Chelsea Hotel, home of punk rock’s most famous murder. Or, as he put it, “This is a story about love, death, driving, narcissism, America, the ill-advised glamorization of recreational drug use, not having sex, eating breadsticks at Olive Garden, talking to strangers, feeling nostalgic for the extremely recent past, movies you’ve never seen, KISS, Radiohead, Rod Stewart, and—to a lesser extent—prehistoric elephants of the Midwestern plains,” which oddly, minus the elephants, sounds like my summer vacation in ‘92. Good times…

MONDAY, AUGUST 22

Tibet, A Slide Show - 7:30 p.m. at The Studio Maui, Haiku. A taste of a world little seen, the northern region of the Himalayas and the endless plains of Tibet. A journey through Tibet is a journey to your innermost realms of your being. It is the birthplace for the search of meditation and self-realization. We all need to do that. For info, call 344-2709.

ART

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.

Nature's Miniatures: Micrographic Art - Fri, 6:30-9:30 p.m. at The Studio Maui, Haiku. Dr. Gary Greenberg present Nature’s Miniatures, an exhibit focusing on Greenberg’s artistic and scientific explorations of the microscopic world.

In this book, you can get steamy while visiting exotic locales like Dubai, St. Lucia, Brussels, Kyoto, Mexico, Rome and the Colorado Rockies—all in the privacy of your own beanbag chair.

I can’t think of a better reason to read, really.

Just because you like things upfront and direct doesn’t mean everyone else does. In fact, some of the people around you are quite devoted to sneaky methods and shady dealings, despite whatever convincingly upright façades they maintain. But they’re hardly going to make you a PowerPoint presentation about all the ways they undermine you, are they? Now, the last thing I want is for you to become suspicious and paranoid; a mistrustful Leo is a terrible tragedy. But making it (once again) clear that you won’t take betrayal lying down will make it much more likely that it will never occur.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Your pride is easier to swallow than aspirin these days, you’ve been doing it so much. While your humility and lack of pretension make you someone I actually admire, these things can be taken too far. Please don’t allow your flexibility and willingness to sacrifice to make you into a doormat, because there are several hundred people waiting in the lobby with very muddy shoes. There are times when you have to stand up, brush yourself off, and deliver a swift kick to the balls or groin of anyone who tries to get past without your goodwill. Don your steel-toed boots, my dear, for this week is one of those.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) When I was five, I stole a fancy pencil eraser from the drugstore. My folks made me give it back and apologize. I got the lesson: Stealing is Wrong. But as I grew older, I began to realize that the world is far more complicated than a 25-cent piece of rubber could possibly demonstrate. Sometimes the apparent criminal is actually the victim, and/or vice versa. Applying starkly black-and-white morality lessons across the board reflects a mentality suitable for schooling a kindergartener, not for navigating the complexities of actual life.

Please demonstrate your depth and intelligence when passing judgment this week, by not simplifying it (or “dumbing it down”) one iota.

“we do all the work . . . so you can enjoy your yard”

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Some folks go their whole lives without thinking much about death, until, of course, they suffer it. Scorpios can’t understand that; many even have chapters where they consciously seek to be close to death, volunteering at hospices or caring for ailing relatives. Your unwillingness to shy away from heavy shit is a strength, one that someone close to you needs to share in right now. Let them lean on you. Be their patient guide into (and hopefully through) territory that they never thought they’d enter. Remember, it’s familiar to you, but be patient with your companion.

They’re probably, on some level, freaking out.

If you feel that you have been potentially exposed to HIV and would like Free, Confidential and Anonymous testing call the Maui AIDS Foundation at 242-4900.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) It’s a lot easier to tear something (or someone) apart than to see the good in it (or him or her). Being critical is a forte of yours, and to your credit you usually do it in an intelligent way, with an eye towards improving whatever you’re critiquing. But, despite your good intentions (I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt here), finding ways to support and encourage someone’s art or progress is very different than improving it by pointing out its flaws. This week, the former would be a kinder and more effective method than the latter, considering your desired results. Say something nice. It may not come naturally or easily, but I’m sure you can do it.

FAX NUMBER 808.661-0446

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) I’d like you to avoid a bad habit this week. You Water Bearers can be slightly afraid of emotion, or at least its expression. When things get too intense, you have this habit of sort of shutting down, rather than actually, you know, going there. Fine, you like to remain cool and avoid drama most of the time. But every once in a while, it’s good (and not just for you, but for those who love you) to lose your cool and get dramatically swept up by powerful emotion. With the Full Moon in your sign this week, exactly that could happen, and I hope you let it; the fallout from any kind of explosion (especially a love explosion) would be almost entirely positive.

You’re a mutant, but unfortunately you didn’t develop any useful new features like telekinesis or gills. Your mutation is the equivalent of an extra finger on each hand. Discovering a use for it (besides being a slightly faster than average typist) has, thus far, been difficult—so difficult that you’ve given up on trying to find one.

This week, however, presents an opportunity so specific it’s as if you were designed for it. It’s nothing huge.

In fact, its size is quite dwarfed by the tremendous positive effect it’ll have on your psyche—transforming your “liability” to an asset. I’d hate for you to miss it because you weren’t properly looking for it, so keep your eyes peeled and your extra fingers poised.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You’re a beautiful piece of antique furniture whose classic lines have been obscured by 13 coats of paint. All your corners have gone round, blurred by layers upon layers of multi-hued latex. The only way to expose your true beauty and get your edges back is to strip all the way down to the wood. The process is likely to be messy and at least slightly painful, but it’s the only way to get back to the naked, raw, beautiful version of yourself that’ll keep you from ending up on the sidewalk with the beat-up IKEA discards.

Some other signs carefully plot their acts of generosity, in order to reap maximum gratitude, but not you.

You know that doing something nice for someone shouldn’t be about what you’ll get in return. However, there is some merit to calculating the best vector and timing for any sweet gestures you make this week—not for your own benefit, but for that of the recipient. Accepting a gift is wonderful at almost any time, but it might prove more useful, tender, convenient or entertaining at some times rather than others, when it might even be slightly inconvenient or cumbersome. When offering up the sweet gestures you have planned for this week, keep in mind that exactly when you give a gift can halve—or double—its value, and a little forethought will make sure it’s the latter.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Don’t eat when you’re not hungry. That’s good basic advice that you almost never listen to. “But it’s my lunch break!” cries your anxious mind. So you force yourself to eat because it’s the time someone else decided you should eat, or because everyone else around you is eating, or because you’re bored. But just because a banquet’s been laid before you (and I mean this literally and figuratively) this week doesn’t mean you need to eat from it. Oh, go ahead and drink a half-glass of champagne and nibble on a cracker, to be polite, but please, please don’t load up your plate and pretend you’re famished when you’re not.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Level the playing field. I’ve never actually met an arrogant Gemini (you veer more towards cocky and overconfident, when you head in that direction). So you may not appreciate how that hubris, in those around you, can drag the whole game down for everyone, whether they’re playing or watching. Since you have to contend with a few self-proclaimed demi-gods to complete the task at hand, I’m allocating this task to you: poke holes in the dangerous, hydrogen-filled zeppelins of their superiority complexes, without blowing us all to kingdom come, or, of course, getting filled with hot air yourself.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Yes, that sea snake undulating towards you nearby is venomous, but it’s also gentle and shy, so don’t freak out. Its head is so small it would have trouble biting you, and you’d really have to abuse it before it would even try. That cone snail you’re about to step on, however, can pierce your wetsuit and possibly kill you. You’re unfamiliar with the environment you’ve found yourself in. Fine. That’s a decent enough excuse, for now. But if you don’t start learning about it (and the deceiving forms its dangers can take), fast, you won’t last long. Nor will you have anyone to blame but yourself.

HOLOHOLOGIRL

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

The Best Laid Plans No one gossips about other people’s secret virtues. - Bertrand Russell Last Thursday night, the crew and I had major plans. It was TBB’s birthday, and his visiting cousin’s last night on Maui. TBB and BJ hadn’t been out in awhile, Sasha was celebrating her new “between jobs” status, Kim and I badly needed a cocktail and none of us could remember the last time we’d been to Sansei in Kihei for their huge blowout late night karaoke/half-price sushi scene. So we decided to go big. We all agreed to meet at my house—the Moroccan Bayou—around nine.

Sasha was the first to arrive. As I scrounged around in my closet for something sultry yet suitable enough to adjust to a growing belly of hamachi nigiri and mango-crab salad hand rolls, Sasha filled me in on her upcoming trip to Seattle. I’ve never been there so I prodded her to tell me all the tedious details, including what it’s like to be on a train to Portland.

Locomotive action is so hot.

By the time Kim showed up, I had my skirt on but was having trouble finding a top to wear.

I hated my clothes. So I showed the girls my new un-accessorized breasts—bye-bye nipple torture!—while Kim gave us a sample of the songs she’d be performing later on stage.

Talk soon turned to sex—doesn’t it always?—and our past weekend’s adventures. TBB and BJ were lagging so as I applied makeup—still topless—I told the girls about my disturbing night at the MiniKISS “concert.”

That night I had my hot jazz date/friend meet me at Hapa’s, where it was packed with people anxiously awaiting the mini-KISS tribute band. It ended up being not so much a “live” performance but was instead comprised mainly of a female vocalist singing to a pre-recorded track. The crowd didn’t seem to mind—it was indubitably the consequences of novelty act appeal—and they whooped and hollered, packing the dance floor and towering above the little people on stage.

However, my date, a serious musician and music fan, was disgusted and left almost immediately. I honestly didn’t care about the music either way until that point. But when MiniKISS cost me some grade-A booty, it disturbed me. And not at all just “a little.”

Anyway, back at the Bayou, I had finally finished pulling myself together. But then TBB and his cousin came over and announced that BJ would not be joining us, and it was getting to be too late for us to feasibly get a table at the popular karaoke-sushi joint. We opted to discuss our options over TBB’s birthday cake and “rabbit poop” ice cream.

As the five of us gorged intently, Sasha brought up a puzzling situation one of her friends was experiencing. The friend had recently met somebody she found physically attractive and intellectually stimulating. Yet, when it came down to doing the deed—getting it onnnnn, sailing into port, the horizontal mambo, hopping on the good foot and doing the bad thing—the guy was severely lacking. And she determined he was completely untrainable. She just didn’t have that kind of time.

And so, the friend was in a moral dilemma, of sorts.

Does she tell the guy or just end it without explaining? Will it help or hinder the dude to know the truth? Is it more karmically sound to spare his feelings, yet still release him into the world to torture more women?

“She has to tell him,” said Kim. “What does she have to lose?”

“Just blow him off,” said the cousin and I. “Maybe there’s somebody else out there for him.”

“No, that’s not what you do,” suggested TBB. “When he calls you say, ‘Don’t you ever call me again. You gave me gonorrhea.’”

We looked at each other in silence for a few moments. Then we decided to just stay in.
