PEOPLE LIKE THE CENSORED NEWS Hurray for the Maui Time front cover article citing 10 of the most under-reported stories of the year (“Censored!” Sept.

22, 2005)! How refreshing to read media that is not afraid to rattle a few cages.

Speaking of under-reported stories, I have a two-part riddle: First, how many commercial jetliners can fit into a 17-foot diameter hole?

Obviously, zero. Even so, that is the official white wash explanation given by our government about the 9/11 “initial impact” into the Pentagon wall. Had a jetliner actually impacted the wall, damage would have appeared on each side of the hole, created by the wings and engines.

A subsequent explosion, as shown on Pentagon surveillance tapes, eventually collapsed the roof and opened the hole after “initial impact.” The tapes never show the “incoming aircraft.”

Second, what does our military and Washington beltway insiders and our corporate media have to gain by ignoring this obvious glitch in the 9/11 report? And what do they have to lose by its coverage?

Obviously, too much.

Thanks for speaking up and for continuing to nip at the heels of the beast.

-James Miner, Haiku I’m calling about the cover of this week’s Maui Time Weekly. I was wondering if the name of the anchor on the cover—Ken Naughtegzist—is a pun for the “Censored!” story. But now that I say it I guess it’s gotta be; now that I hear it come out of my mouth.

-Brian Lancaster, via voicemail

BURNED OUT? I’m an astrologer and I have a very strong interest in astrology. I do Chinese astrology readings and use Llewellyn’s

calendar a lot for the moon phases and everything. And my point is that the column that you guys have (Sign Language)—it’s almost disturbing.

It has no real definitive connection to the moon phases or what the signs are up to at that time. It seems that the person [who writes it] is just kinda ranting and raging about certain things and it’s kind of frustrating for me to reach out of insightfulness and get something that has nothing to do with astrology. Because it is an astrology column—I’m sure you’re aware of this. I’m a very positive person… I think that maybe the person who is writing your astrology column is burned out or isn’t using sources that are helpful to the people.

-Mason McGraw, via voicemail The Editor responds: To be honest, you’re not the first person I’ve heard complain about Sign Language. I’ve heard a number of people say they enjoy the column, but a few have expressed exactly the points you just made. All I can tell you is that Sign Language—like all astrology columns—is for entertainment purposes only.

Maui Time welcomes letters commenting on our coverage, but only if they’re complimentary. If you still wish to complain about something, please have the decency to use plenty of bad punctuation and grammar—that makes it easier for us to make fun of you when we respond.

‘Demolition is a Dirty Business’

“The key to successful, responsible planning is studying the cumulative impacts of all proposed developments, not merely project by project,” says Maui County Environmental Coordinator Rob Parsons. “I’m amazed that in a phone-book thick EIS, there are only three pages discussing the demolition. The few details that are provided look like a lot of wishful thinking. This project and future demolition projects need to have full and transparent disclosure of the impacts to the residents and infrastructure of Maui County.” MTW

What will happen when the Kapalua Bay Hotel comes down?

Cunning Lingle

Insert bulldozers here The Maui Land & Pineapple Company is famous for building luxurious villas, golf courses and resorts. Now they’re going to be famous for something completely different: massive demolition.

On Sept. 13, 2005, the Maui County Planning Commission approved the final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Residences at Kapalua Bay and Super Spa. The project calls for a complete destruction of the Kapalua Bay Hotel, as well as its nearby retail shops, parking structure and tennis courts.

Built way back in 1978, the hotel is considered substandard in the world of modern mega-luxury resorts. The 194-room hotel and connected shops will be replaced with 11 buildings containing 90 two- or three-bedroom condominiums, each selling for $3.5 million to $4 million.

There will also be 65 similar units that would be sold under a one-twelfth fractional ownership plan (similar to timeshares, but the buyers will not have any ownership in real property), estimated to sell for $340,000-$500,000 per fractional interval. This development, including the restaurant and Super Spa, will not be open to the public unless invited by a resident or guest.

Any environmental problems that might stem from the demolition required to build all that luxury are unknown. That’s because analysis of the proposed destruction of the Kapalua Bay Hotel takes up a miniscule portion of the overall project EIS. “Demolition is a dirty business,” says Napili resident Richard Cochrane. As the former operations director for the Radisson’s Resort Division, Cochrane oversaw two hotel demolitions, one in Bermuda and one in the Canary Islands.

“A demolition project of this magnitude, especially on an island, requires careful consideration,” he says. “Unless there’s a system of controls in place, the community is in great danger to get stuck with the long-term consequences of these projects. There’s only so much room on an island.”

Cochrane suggests Maui officials look to Bermuda as a model for dealing with garbage.

“Bermuda is the cleanest, most sensibly managed island in the world,” he says. Having to deal with their strict controls during the Radisson hotel demolitions, Cochrane says they are extremely tough on developers. In fact, everything torn down must go on barges and get shipped off island. Basically, everything brought on island—like cars, appliances and furniture—must have a corresponding

piece shipped off.

While hard on developers, residents love it.

Cochrane says you will not see an abandoned car or appliance on Bermuda.

Cochrane wonders why Maui County doesn’t have strict county codes in place to appropriately direct developers in how to deal with this waste. “We need to come to terms with this waste,” he says. He doesn’t believe it should be left up to the good graces of the developer.

Kapalua’s close to turning loose the bulldozers, but they’re not quite there. In fact, the Planning Commission will take up the project again this fall to deal with a Special Management Area (SMA) permit application. The SMA evaluation considers impacts to the environment, historic and cultural resources, drainage and impervious surface cover, public views of the ocean, public access to beaches and shoreline and the cumulative impacts of development.

Surprisingly, the county Planning Commission breezed through the Sept. 13, 2005 EIS hearing. In fact, just two Commissioners raised concerns, and none of them dealt with demolition. Dr. Diane Shepherd wondered about the diversion of water from the Honokohau Stream and Dr. William Iaconetti asked why affordable housing was not a condition of the project, which stands to bring in something like $700 million.

WHAT GOVERNOR LINDA LINGLE SAID IN A SEPT. 16, 2005 PRESS RELEASE ANNOUNCING HER APPOINTMENT OF BEVERLY WOLFF HARBIN TO REPLACE DEMOCRAT KENNETH HIRAKI IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE: “I look forward to working with her in the next legislative session. I appreciate and thank all the candidates who stepped forward to be considered for this position.”

WHAT SHE DIDN’T SAY: Let’s forget for the moment that the Honolulu Star-Bulletin recently revealed that Lingle approved Harbin even though she owes $125,000 in unpaid state income taxes and has a misdemeanor criminal record (she got a six-month suspended sentence in 1987 for passing three bad checks). State law required Lingle to appoint someone from the same side of the aisle as Hiraki, which meant a Democrat. But here, Lingle outdid even herself, appointing someone who joined the state Democratic Party a mere three days after Hiraki announced his resignation.

MAUICOUNTY WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 21 I guess it was inevitable that U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka (D, In Name Only) finally went and did something completely and laudably progressive. I’m speaking of course of the Downed Animal Amendment—or Amendment 1730, as those Senate madcaps call it when the sun goes down and the tourists go home. This little number, which finally passed this week, keeps livestock that’s literally too sick to walk from getting ground up into a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. One of the advantages of Akaka’s amendment, according to today’s press release from the vegetarian activist group Farm Sanctuary: decreased risk of getting Mad Cow Disease-tainted beef in our beloved food supply. I for one say that it’s about time someone took a stand and denounced Mad Cow Disease in all its forms. For too long, Mad Cow Disease has benefited from too much good press, and damn it, that has got to stop.

THURSDAY, SEPT. 22 So is it a new rule that it makes it illegal for hardworking taxpaying citizens to ship gasoline on commercial airliners? What safety Nazi came up with that? I’m just asking. I mean, hypothetically, suppose a guy goes to Los Angeles for a week’s vacation and while he’s there he visits a gas station or two and realizes that those bastards are paying just $2.89 for a gallon of 87 Octane. Then suppose that this guy does a little math in his head and concludes that it’s definitely worth his while if he were to ship oh, I don’t know, 50 gallons or so of the stuff back to Hawai’i and then sell it on the black market with only a slight markup. To me, this is called “Providing a

public service in a time of national emergency.” So how come those airport know-italls got all up in my—pardon me—in my— whoops, did it again—in this hypothetical guy’s face and starting spewing crazy talk about “danger” and “explosions” which was strangely similar to that one time when everyone got all nervous over the oily rags and gas cans. Anyway, it was about this time that they confiscated all my—His!—drums even though he was perfectly willing to check them in rather than insist on considering them carry-on luggage which was totally within his legal rights.

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

FRIDAY, SEPT. 23 Changes, rewrites and revisions aside, the U.S. Department of Justice isn’t buying the Akaka Bill, reports today’s Associated Press. Akaka says the Justice Department already agreed to the bill, which is great, except for the fact that they just put out an official statement saying the whole thing was unconstitutional. Hearing that, Akaka said the bill was, in fact, constitutional. Hearing that, the Justice Department put its hands over its ears and said, “La la la la la la” over and over.

Then Akaka called the Justice Department a “jerk” and shoved it really hard. The Justice Department shoved back, then they started wrestling on the floor. In any case, the Senate has yet to announce when they’ll vote on the bill. Hopefully, it will be a while—the last time they tried to get a show of hands, Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 24 Remember the Superferry? Big-ass catamarans that will carry nearly a thousand people and their too-expensive-to-drive cars between the islands? Company president John Garibaldi says the whole deal will be dead—DEAD, I say!—if all that pesky litiga-

OVERHEARD...

“A 17-YEAR-OLD ASKED ME OUT THE OTHER DAY. THAT’S ONLY FOUR YEARS DIFFERENCE. I THINK I’LL TELL HIM YES.” -Teenager talking to her friend at a Westside swimming pool, Sept. 25

tion demanding that his company put out a full environmental assessment doesn’t end next week. What on earth is Garibaldi afraid of? Is it possibly that recently retired Haleakala National Park Superintendent Don Reeser was right when he said the proposed Superferry would expose Maui to unprecedented invasive species contamination. Nah, it couldn’t be that—then again, without a full environmental review, how could we be sure?

SUNDAY, SEPT. 25 You know, all this talk about rising fuel prices and possible shortages caused by Hurricane Rita tearing up all those Gulf Coast oil refineries has me thinking: now

would be the perfect time for Dubya to make a sanctimonious speech about how we all need to start conserving gasoline and drive less and maybe even start carpooling to work. It’s exactly the sort of sneering copout we’ve come to expect from our brave Commander-in-Chief who’s mastered the art of “showing” leadership rather than actually “being” a leader.

MONDAY, SEPT. 26 It’s a Monday, and like all Mondays, it sucks like a Hoover. So I guess it’s as good a time as any to talk about a subject near and dear to our hearts: suicide bombers. They were big news over at the third annual AsiaPacific Homeland Security Summit & Exposition, held this weekend on Honolulu.

All kinds of military, police and corporate types showed up from 33 nations—including Cambodia!—to chat up terrorism. As part of the festivities, state civil defense officials showed what terror attacks on Oahu, Guam and even our little haven Maui might look like. “This was a very informative and educational exercise,” Chamber of Commerce of Hawai’i president Jim Tollefson is quoted as saying in today’s Pacific Business News. Tollefson helpfully added that suicide bombings and attacks “will have an impact on the entire community of Hawai’i, especially the business community.”

And how! In a Sept. 22, 2005 AP story on the conference, reprter Audrey McAvoy wrote that an official with security firm WFI Government Services, Inc. said all this terror fear “was generating more interest in the products he marketed.” Isn’t our War on Terror just magnificent?

TUESDAY, SEPT. 27 Hey President Bush, thanks for taking my advice on lecturing working people about how they need to drive less. Now how about revoking that $6 billion in government subsidies for all your oil industry buddies the Congress passed a couple months ago? Or you could call for a windfall profits tax, so it doesn’t look so much like your buddies are making a killing off our misery. Just a thought.

A week apart in August, police in Searcy, Ark., and Victoria, British Columbia, reported increases in local behaviors that they both strangely but confidently attributed to methamphetamine addiction.

Searcy police say that almost all of the meth addicts they arrest have collections of arrowheads in their homes, gathered from lengthy forays into local fields, and Victoria police report a similar fascination with bicycle parts. Authorities in both places say meth makes users need to keep their hands busy on menial tasks. Said a Victoria constable, “They sit in the bush with hundreds of [bicycle] parts just fiddling with them all day.”

In August, the Bradenton (Fla.) Herald reported that business is strong for local resident John Flannery, who at age 78 still works 15 to 20 times a month posing for artists as a nude model.

‘SEX OFFENDERS’ Charbel Hamaty, of Lebanese descent, spent six months in jail in Raleigh, N.C., after being arrested last year for “molesting” his infant son, with the evidence consisting of family snapshots of Hamaty playfully kissing the nude tot’s belly button. Only after a protest campaign did a judge finally dismiss the charge, according to a July report by WRALTV. Not so lucky was Fitzroy Barnaby of Evanston, Ill., who angrily grabbed the arm of a 14-year-old girl whom he almost ran into as she was playing dangerously in traffic. He was convicted under the state’s “restraining a minor” statute, which requires that its violators be listed as sex offenders, even though the trial judge and the state Appellate Court both discounted any sexual motive.

internal investigation, of having undermined his own teenage confidential informant in a Columbus store that the pair were probing for selling cigarettes to minors. According to the official report (described in the Columbus Dispatch in July), Gales stood alongside the teenager, and when the clerk proceeded with the sale, Gale asked, “Hey, aren’t you supposed to ask for ID?” It was allegedly Gales’ second blown-sting incident this year.

HEY, IT COULD HAPPEN Elijah Walker, 35, who pleaded guilty to cocaine possession in Cincinnati in June, resisted complying with the state requirement that he also give up a DNA sample, in that he feared the state would use it to create a clone of him.

Later, investigators learned that an injury to Jimenez’s head did not come from the jewelry case but occurred when Jimenez accidentally hit himself with a hammer while burglarizing a church later that night. Said a detective, “[Jimenez] had a big, round [indentation] in his forehead that was consistent with the hammer that I found.” As if he needed more misery, Jimenez’s loot bag broke during his getaway, causing him to lose most of the jewelry.

RECURRING THEMES Among the stories fabricated by the former New Republic writer Stephen Glass was a March 1998 description (picked up, unfortunately, by News of the Weird) of two Wall Street companies’ ritual worship of Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. Two months later, the magazine fired Glass and apologized for the fictions. But in August 2005, Erin Crowe, a recent art graduate of the University of Virginia, quietly placed in a New York gallery 18 paintings and sketches she had made over the years of Greenspan, a subject she chose “because his face is so interesting, his lips, his ears” and “his forehead, his comb over.” As news circulated about their existence, money managers from around the country quickly bought all 18 pieces at prices up to $4,000 each.

How we lost the Iraq War Sectarian civil war, long predicted by yours truly and other antiwar types, has arrived in U.S.-occupied Iraq. Sunni bombs killing a hundred people a day, spurred on by Al Qaeda and a declaration of “all-out war” in retaliation for the Shiites’ refusal to allow Sunni representation in the next government, have become routine. Kurds and Arabs are murdering each other over oil rights. A year ago these developments would have sparked accusations, counterarguments and fierce debates in the U.S. over what to do next.

Now no one cares.

Passions that burned hot during the build-up towards and immediate aftermath of the spring 2003 invasion have cooled and hardened into bitter, silent, mutual disdain. Supporters of the war, their ranks dwindled to a hardcore 44 percent in the latest New York Times/CBS News poll, remain true believers regardless of its $2,000-a-second price tag, intentionally unspecified carnage among Iraqis, and continued failure to locate weapons of mass destruction. For those opposed to America’s adventure in nation building, neither Saddam’s reported confessions nor any number of “things are better in Iraq than the media says” reports can change their minds.

Iraq has faded from the top headlines, its daily agony of dead, wounded and bombing victims downgraded to the dismal, gray status of a daily box score. It has been replaced by fresher outrages—the government’s non-response to Hurricane Katrina, skyrocketing gas prices, rising unemployment, white collar criminals subjected to excessive prison sentences on a par with those received by druggies.

The fighting over the war is over. Long live the war.

Television and its 24-hour news cycle may be the poisonous root causes of national ADD, but our growing disinterest in Iraq also owes a lot to the polarization that has characterized reaction to this war ever since it was conceived in Dick Cheney’s executive suite. Americans remained focused on World War II through four tough years partly because the war effort required a wholesale transformation of the economy and everyday life, but also because its initial popularity—affirmed by a legal, Congressional declaration of war—amounted to society’s tacit commitment to endure the inevitable ups and downs. By contrast, Americans’ initial support of intervention in Vietnam proved wide but thin after the growing cost reminded them that the endeavor had been optional from the start.

We’re shooting, but is anyone watching? advisor to JFK and LBJ, said in 2003: “There was no strategy to generate public support for an engagement that would be long and costly and difficult. They didn’t sell it that way in Vietnam and they haven’t sold it that way in Iraq.”

The Iraq war, validated by neither constitutional legality nor (unlike Vietnam) international endorsement via the U.N., prompted millions to protest before it even began. So when the reality of Iraq belied the Bush Administration’s promises—no WMDs, no body armor, no rose petals, no mission accomplished—we clammed up like a bickering couple whose positions are intractable and diametrically opposed. After 9/11, only a fool would have let Saddam remain in power, say the Bushian 44 percent. And 56 percent reply: only a fool would have attacked Saddam while 9/11 remained unavenged. But they keep their opinions to themselves and the occasional pollster.

Without consensus, war relies on publicity to keep it a priority. News that is always the same, however, is no longer news. Another suicide bomber kills 20 Iraqi policemen near Mosul. Another roadside bomb (IED if you watch Fox, because Fox likes military jargon) blows up a Humvee or Bradley fighting vehicle, killing three Marines and an Iraqi translator.

Another helicopter crashes in a sandstorm; the Pentagon is conducting another investigation to determine whether weather, enemy fire or faulty equipment is to blame. Since March 2003 suicide bombings and burning choppers

have become almost as routine as the sun rising in the east—and thus, from a producer and editor’s standpoint, boring.

At Starbucks and sports bars Americans are talking about broken levees and gas prices, not Iraq. We have not yet arrived at the point where Americans were during the early 1970s, when Walter Cronkite read the (fictional) casualty reports from both sides of the Vietnam conflict alongside such financial minutiae as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the number of shares traded on the NYSE, and used similar graphics to illustrate both.

Nevertheless, the war has become institutionalized. It is background noise. It is hard to imagine what could happen in Iraq that would make people pay attention and talk, even argue, about the war. A bomb that killed a thousand civilians?

Probably not even that...

Right or wrong? Essential or idiotic? When it comes to the war against Iraq, Americans only agree about one thing: it is no longer interesting. And so, pro or con, it is lost all the same. MTW

It takes a special kind of guy to wear a detective’s badge, especially at an outfit like the Maui County Department of Liquor Control. You’ve got to be smart, tough and take no guff from anyone. But you’ve also got to be detached, because at any moment fate can step in and turn your whole world upside down.

LC chief of inspections Richard Isaacs knows all about that. On the afternoon of June 2, 2005, Isaacs responded to a report of a drunk who’d just bought a 12-pack of Budweiser at the Hawai’i Liquor Superstore in Kahului.

At first it looked like a routine call, but Isaacs quickly realized it was much more.

Isaacs had only been interviewing store manager Donna Marzoeki a few minutes when his open-and-shut case blew wide open.

“This writer then received from MARZOEKI a copy of what appeared to be a hand written work schedule with first names of employees showing start and ending of shifts from 05/30/05 to 06/05/05,” wrote Isaacs in his June 2, 2005 report, which included a copy of the schedule in question.

Isaacs saw plenty of first names on the time sheet, but no last names. Clearly, something was up. Where were the last names? The department needed the employees’ last names.

Sure, they had all the names downtown, but the law is the law. Isaacs gave Marzoeki another shot at coughing up the proper time sheet.

“This writer asked MARZOEKI if there is anything other than the work schedule that is used as a time sheet[,] which MARZOEKI confirmed that is all there is,” Isaacs wrote. “This writer then advised MARZOEKI that RULE 08-101-70(f) requires a legal first name and a surname of all employees on duty and the time entries to be made at the time the employee reports for duty and again when the employees goes [sic] off duty.”

Isaacs had them nailed. Or did he? When it came time for the LC to prosecute Hawai’i Liquor Superstore, the department pursued two charges of serving a drunk on the indictment but dropped the 70(f) violation.

Guess fate has its own time sheet.

MAUICOUNTY

Super High Octane Local politicos stumble over rising gas prices Since failed oil executive George W. Bush became President of the United States in late January 2001, the nation’s five largest oil refiners have together raked in an astonishing $228 billion in profits. These are, to say the least, record levels.

In 1999, the companies made around 23 cents for every gallon of gas they refined. Just five years later, they were getting nearly 41 cents per gallon. This same period saw 2,600 oil industry mergers, which led to a net loss of 920,000 barrels per day in refining capacity.

These numbers come from Public Citizen’s Energy Program research director Tyson Slocum, who testified before the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee on Sept. 21, 2005. They provide the best explanation for our monumental rise in gasoline prices.

About halfway through his testimony, Slocum quoted from a U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) report on high gas prices that dated to March 2001—just two months into the George W’s first term.

The report highlights a conversation between FTC investigators and unnamed oil industry executives.

“An executive of this company made clear that he would rather sell less gasoline and earn a higher margin on each gallon sold than sell more gasoline and earn a lower margin,” stated the report. “Another employee of this firm raised concerns about oversupplying the market and thereby reducing the high market prices.”

Most chilling—and depressing—of all was this line: “Firms that withheld or delayed shipping additional supply in the face of a price spike did not violate the antitrust laws.”

It doesn’t get much clearer than that. Four years before Hurricanes Katrina and Rita tore through the Gulf Coast, oil companies were shutting down refineries and holding back gasoline. In their quest for stratospheric profits, multi-national oil companies and refiners are strangling the very consumers that keep them so profitable.

In a recent interview with Maui Time (see “Government Likes High Prices,” Sept.

15, 2005), Slocum rejected the idea that gas prices would come down anytime soon.

In fact, he predicted that within a year oil will rise to $100 per barrel, putting our economy “in the tank.”

Boldly ignoring such pessimism, local Maui County officials are stepping in with their own master plans for saving our hard-working men and women from crushing prices.

On Sept. 13, 2005, County Councilman— and 2006 mayoral hopeful—Dain Kane sent out a press release proposing a novel

solution to the island’s octane woes: more public transportation.

“Significantly improving the County’s transit system offers the potential for great benefits to Maui’s commuting workers and their families,” he said.

Woohoo! More busses! Kane wants more “express service,” “intermodal connections,” hours of operation and incentives for county workers to leave their cars at home, though he stopped short of calling for an electric maglev train linking the West Side, South Side and Central Maui.

While good public policy, it’s ludicrous to think the county could suddenly reverse decades of social history and convince many thousands of its auto-owning citizens to lock the garage and jump on a bus.

Six days later, Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa stepped in with a solution more fitting to a good Republican.

“What our people need is cheaper fuel, and they need relief now,” was how Arakawa splendidly identified the problem in a Sept. 19, 2005 press release. Then he said the “one way” the county could get cheaper fuel was by “declaring a [two month] tax holiday on our county gas tax.” He also openly hoped the Legislature would overturn the state’s wholesale price gasoline cap.

While attractive politically, such a “holiday” is nothing more than a gimmick, sucking away precious county revenue while totally ignoring the underlying reason as to why gas prices are so high in the first place.

Ditto dumping the cap, which is actually the best hope state drivers have for moderated prices.

What politicians like Arakawa and Kane can’t do is admit that there’s nothing they can do to help their pained constituents.

Though no longer surpassing four bucks a gallon, gas prices are on their way up for the long haul. That’s how the oil industry—and Bush Administration—wants it, and neither of them will be changing any time soon. MTW

Delic Rudolph Diesel designed his famous engine to run on refined peanut oil. As far back as the 1890s, Diesel saw the development of a biomass industry as the key to future transportation.

He wanted to improve the efficiency of the steam engine as well as keep the world’s struggling agriculture industry alive in the midst of the Industrial Revolution. He believed developing a domestic fuel crop would help farmers stay on their land and allow nations to further a sustainable new industry.

Unfortunately, the oily hands of the petroleum tycoons strangled the life out of his idea. By the 1920s, diesel engines were altered to utilize lower viscosity fossil fuel residue rather than anything based on biomass.

This slick move all but wiped out any competitive threat biomass posed to the petroleum tycoons. Rudolph Diesel’s vision sank into a sea of light, sweet crude oil. The concept of using corn and food as a potential fuel fell into obscurity. Until now.

“We can build a whole new industry in Hawai’i with the financial backing and support from the County and State,” says Kelly King, marketing and communication director at Kahului-based Pacific Biodiesel.

Catapulting Rudolph Diesel’s vision into the 21st century, Bob and Kelly King, the founders of Pacific Biodiesel, understand the need for long-term vision and sustainability—especially on an island where virtually every commodity is imported.

Since 1996, Pacific Biodiesel has been producing a local fuel from the used cooking grease collected from Maui’s restaurants and hotels. Taking a countywide grease waste problem and converting it into a clean burning energy source, Bob King’s innovative technology is being praised locally and nationally—even by oilman President Bush.

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made by chemically reacting alcohol with vegetable oils, fats or greases. Through a refinery process called transesterification, the reaction of the oil with an alcohol removes the glycerin—a byproduct which can be made into soap.

Biodiesel can be used in pure form (B100), or blended with petroleum diesel. It works in any diesel engine with only minor—or no—modifications. Older diesel engines may have incompatible hoses, but King will provide new ones.

Even a 20/80 blend of biodiesel with petroleum will significantly reduce the carcinogenic sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and particulate matter emissions that cause global warming. In fact, biodiesel is the only alternative fuel to have fully completed the health effects testing requirements of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments.

Pacific Biodiesel has built two biodiesel processing plants in Hawai’i. The plant at the county’s Central Maui landfill is now diverting an average of 80 tons of used cooking oil and more than 375 tons of grease-trap waste per month for fuel use. The Sand Island facility on Oahu diverts

188 tons of used cooking oil and 655 tons of grease-trap waste per month.

For the first time in Pacific Biodiesel’s existence, local demand for biodiesel has exceeded available supply, forcing the company to temporarily stop accepting new customers. The reason is simple: with the skyrocketing price of fossil fuel, biodiesel is cheaper than petroleum. On Maui, B100 biodiesel currently sells for $2.59 per gallon, while the oil-based stuff retails for about $3.72 per gallon.

To help quench Maui’s thirst for this liquid gold, Pacific Biodiesel is shipping over thousands of gallons of biodiesel from their Sand Island plant. For the past six months on Maui, sales of the B100 have risen from an average of 9,000 gallons sold per month to 12,000 gallons.

This interest from individual, corporate and industrial fleet customers is unprecedented. The U.S. Navy on Oahu has been speaking with Pacific Biodiesel because they want to use B-20 in all noncombat vehicles by 2006. Even the Superferry wants to use biodiesel.

Kelly King says Pacific Biodiesel stopped signing up new B100 fuel customers in September to assure they had enough fuel to serve their current customer base. For the past 30 days, Kelly has collected the names of 45 individuals who want to start using the B100 fuel.

“We don’t want to tell people to eat more fried foods so we can have a greater supply of local fuel,” says King, laughing. “We don’t want to push obesity.”

There’s a better way. Knowing the supply of waste cooking oil in the islands is finite and limited to about 200,000 gallons per year on Maui, Pacific Biodiesel is investing significant resources in starting local fuel crops.

Growing fuel crops on Maui and throughout Hawai’i would not only develop a new independent energy industry, support a number of local industries and create jobs, it would help make our isolated islands less dependent on foreign oil, mainland shipping schedules and fees.

Currently, Hawai’i receives 300 million gallons of petroleum diesel fuel every year. That fuel moves all goods and services throughout Hawai’i. As the price of fossil fuel heads higher, so do the corresponding prices for goods and services.

“As long as we’re solely dependent on petroleum, we’re not sustainable,” said King.

Ed Reinhardt, President of Maui Electric Company (MECO), shares King’s concerns. Reinhardt worries about the reliance on imported fossil fuel for Maui’s and Hawai’i’s energy needs.

“This is one of the things that occasionally keeps me up at night,” Reinhardt says. “It’s also one of the reasons why in recent years MECO has more aggressively pursued alternate energy resources through our non-utility company, Renewable Hawai’i on Maui. Notwithstanding the State’s RPS mandate, and as the cost of imported fuel rises, it will become more economically feasible to develop renewable energy technologies and grow/develop feed stock.”

Reinhardt believes growing a local fuel crop is one of the things that must happen if we are to

cious Fuel How biodiesel is changing Maui forever

By Cheryl Ambrozic-Mooz become self-sufficient in energy generation. He says MECO would seriously consider running more units with biodiesel if there was a stable, cost-effective supply of the fuel on the island. Maui Electric Co. currently uses B100 to cut down on the amount of polluting air emissions from two 12.5-megawatt diesel generators at the Ma’alaea Power Plant.

“Biodiesel has a high oxygen content (about 10 percent) and using it on two of our diesel units during startup, shutdown and after overhaul engine break-in periods enables the units to stay within the limits of its environmental permit during these periods,” Reinhardt says.

John R. Brooks, Maui Agricultural Partners’ manager, also supports breaking oil’s stranglehold.

“We live on an island that is largely dependent on imports to sustain the basic lifestyle we enjoy,” he says. “It makes sense to explore options that would enable us to survive any breakdown or significant interruptions of the delivery of those imports. The development of coordinated and interrelated agricultural operations, such as growing the fuel crops for biodiesel, would facilitate the local production of fuel and food to help meet local island needs.”

In June 2004, Pacific Biodiesel partnered with Maui Land and Pineapple (ML&P) for a yearlong experiment growing renewable fuel crops. According to Clair Sullivan, ML&P’s Manager of Special Projects and Corporate Communication, the trial project was grown on ML&P’s Honolua Farm in West Maui.

Spearheading the project was Marco Rojas, a graduate from Earth University in Costa Rica. Rojas grew sunflower, safflower and soybeans on 30 small plots. Unfortunately, the only results that could be measured were the weight gains among the local bird population, “The Franklins devoured the crops,” says Sullivan.

But all was not lost. King now realizes a successful demonstration project will require more acreage to allow for this “bird tax” and to accurately determine the costs and the yields of oil per crop, per year.

Kelly King has been speaking with individual farmers on Maui and Kauai who are eager to participate in a demonstration project.

“Getting the land and is not the issue,” says King. “I have local farmers approaching me offering 80 to 100 acres ready to grow the seed-crop. The obstacle now is securing financial support to fund a demonstration model, paying a local farmer to grow a seed crop such as sunflower, safflower, soybean or the Jatropha tree, and not worry about their costs. We just need to get the crop in the ground so we can calculate how much we can yield in Hawai’i’s climate and soil conditions and come up with hard figures of how much it will cost.”

Bob and Kelly King are convinced of the project’s viability. Like Rudolph Diesel, they are excited about the potential of keeping farmers on their lands by growing an environmentally positive,

domestic fuel crop.

“We believe every community should have the opportunity to use its own resources to make its own energy and lessen their petroleum dependency,” says King. She believes a local fuel crop industry will not only sustain agricultural lands, it will diversify the local agriculture industry and establish a sustainable agriculture system in Maui and Hawai’i.

“Give Pacific Biodiesel some of the $15 to $20 million going to support the tourism industry and we’ll build a whole new sustainable industry around it,” King says.

A major component of a biodiesel agriculture system would include the local cattle industry. Once the fuel oil is extracted from the seed crop, the byproduct can be turned into animal feed. This is also a critical step to keeping local cattle on Maui and building another viable local industry.

Access to relatively inexpensive feed and the lack of a slaughter facility on island has forced cattlemen to ship their cows to mainland feedlots to fatten them up and process.

“The seed-crop we decide to grow will not only be based on which one will generate the largest oil yields, but which one provides a byproduct with the highest amount of protein for the cattle meal,” says King.

A local processing facility and a rendering plant to deal with the waste stream will need to be built to complete the circle of sustainability. Tallow (animal fat) collected from the rendering plant can also be made into biodiesel. The manure and bone meal can be turned into fertilizer for the farmers.

“Working closely with the cattle industry will add value to the crop and help us buy down the crop by getting other values out of it—making it a very sustainable crop,” King says.

State Senate Minority Leader Fred Hemmings enthusiastically supports the King’s vision. In fact, he’s putting together legislation to help lessen the dependence on imported fossil fuel in Hawai’i. His “Energy Independence Package” holds a comprehensive set of energy proposals that will significantly reduce the use of fossil fuels through creative uses of wind, wave, solar, bio-fuels and hydrogen.

“The package includes proposals to enhance conservation by encouraging drivers to operate alternatively fueled vehicles, increase the commercial availability of alternative fuels for both transportation and electric power production, including a Farm to Fuel project for biodiesel, and expedite the use of clean, conservation friendly energy sources that are readily available within the state,” says Hemmings.

“Because Hawai’i is over-dependent on fossil fuel, I believe we must look for alternative energy sources for the 21st century,” he adds. “Those sources should be clean, renewable and readily available like biodiesel. Biodiesel should be a major component of any comprehensive renewable energy package.” MTW

CJ’s fits the criteria in several ways.

First of all, it’s open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. This accommodates hungry people on their way to work as well as early-bird diners. And it’s not like some delis that just slap together a half-ass breakfast menu to lure you in.

The eclectic menu includes fresh fruit, oatmeal, yogurt, eggs, smoothies, bagels and killer “Kahuna” pancakes. For lunch and dinner you have Maui’s finest ingredients at your fingertips. Be ready to feel the onset of a terrible-twos tantrum at having to pick just one thing.

Secondly, it’s a fun place. It’s got bright walls and paintings, a festive artsy menu, wooden booths and an open dining area with tables and chairs. There are also a

couple high-rise counters where people bring their laptops or reading materials and get in the zone for a while. In fact, it’s where I’m writing these very sentences right now.

Mostly though, the food rocks. The portions are big, everything’s under $10 and there’s an abundance of sandwiches, plate lunches, burgers and salads for carnivores and herbivores alike. You order at the counter, pay and then wait for someone to bring your heavy, carefully prepared food at your table. Today the place was packed yet we still got our lunch in less than 10 minutes.

I ordered the spinach salad, which was a jumbo plate of spinach leaves, peppers, onions, olives, feta cheese and homemade pita tossed with just the right amount of tangy vinaigrette.

My friend got the sautéed mahi mahi with white rice and potato salad.

It was more than she could consume. She shared a bite of fish with me and it was bangin’, for lack of a better word—very tender and lemon-buttery.

And let’s not forget about dessert. CJ’s boasts an epic pastry: the Hana bar. They styled out the Hana bar with vanilla ice cream and a mango-apricot glaze to win over the judges at Taste of Lahaina for best dessert.

I can’t put my finger on what exactly it is, besides a square of divine goodness, but I love it unconditionally. They’ve also got sundaes, shakes, floats, homemade pie, brownies and strudels, but the Hana bar is the only way to go.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I’ve earned myself another Hana bar. MTW

EMPLOYEE OF THE

WEEK AS TOLD TO GABRIELLE POCCIA

Celina Tanis Training mentor, Jamba Juice in Lahaina I look forward to going to work. Every day I go in, work hard and have a blast doing it. Of all the jobs I’ve had, this company has treated me the best.

I have worked in the store for about one year and 10 months. It really seemed like a lot of fun so I applied and I have moved ahead in the company. When I started I would just make smoothies and work the register but now I have moved into the position of training mentor.

When a new team member is hired, I train them on how to make the smoothies, ring up orders and set up and break down the machines.

I’ve worked there nearly the longest. There are people there who have worked longer than me but most of the people who were hired when the store opened two years ago have left.

I wasn’t there since the beginning but I did apply just a couple of months after the grand opening, when the store was still brand new. In the future I may want to do managing but for right now I really enjoy my position.

Working at Jamba Juice can be really challenging sometimes. On boat days the store gets packed. Everybody wants a smoothie and you have to keep up with all the orders. Sometimes people make up their own smoothies and sometimes they change the ingredients a bit so you have to be on top of it to get a drink out within three minutes.

No one should wait longer than that for their juice. That’s how we work. MTW MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Go Jimmy Go! Saturday, 9 p.m., Waveriders Bar & Grill [MUSIC] What better way to spend a Saturday night than rocking out to a great ska/reggae band? Hel-lo. We live on an island.

It’s practically mandatory. And, if you have to do it, it should be a good band, like Go Jimmy Go from Oahu. They just released The Girl with the Fishbowl Eyes, an album that amazon.com calls “A beautifully crafted collaboration of soulful vocals, slick horns, and tight rhythm section... an album for lovers of music, not exclusive to any genre.” By the way, ladies, I checked out their pictures and it seems to me there are some hotties in the band. Does anyone else smell groupies? Anyway, Maui’s favorite “Walking on the Moon” (The Police) and “Sober” (Tool)covering ska-rock-island band The Easy opens, playing original songs from their recently produced debut CD. Oh, it should be a good time. $10-$15 cover. [HEIDI KING]

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

by Samantha Campos

Maui County Fair Thursday through Sunday, War Memorial Stadium Does anybody know what time it is? Time for the 83rd annual Maui County Fair in Wailuku!. Tickets are only $3.50 for adults and $1 for keiki. The event focuses on family and thus is alcohol-free. You know what that means: TAILGATE beforehand! Just kidding. If they’ve been doing it dry for 83 years, it must be clean fun. The redeeming qualities shouldn’t be overlooked; educational opportunities abound and it’s actually the primary source of funding for many of Maui’s nonprofit and community organizations. So be a good Samaritan, come enjoy that one-of-a-kind fair food, music, games and joviality. I never thought anything would top the last county fair I attended. I bounced inside a giant inflated balloon-house, lost my entire piggy-bank (upwards of $7) gambling on an addictive quarter-slot game and Bingo, saw some awe-inspiring fireworks and my middle-school boyfriend won me a goldfish-which lived for almost three days! You just never know what will go down at these things, besides your dollars that is. But hey, it’s all for a great cause! The parade begins at 4:30 p.m. Thursday. Open Thu, 4:30-11 p.m.; Fri, 5 p.m.midnight; Sat, 10 a.m.-midnight; Sun, 10 a.m.-11 p.m. For info, call 242-2721. [MOLLY RETTIG]

Beyond Reality Strikes Back… Again!

Friday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m. at Iao Theater [STAGE] Weary businessmen, sex-obsessed new agers, mermaids, a lizard creature and a yogic channeler—hmm… Is it a theatrical performance? Is it improv comedy? A quest for spiritual awakening? A long checkout line at Mana Foods? Well, yeah, it’s all of those things. But officially, it’s Beyond Reality Strikes Back: The Revenge Of The Return Of The Maui New Age Comedy Show, as presented by The Mythstorians. It’s also a story with enough plot twists, “dreamlike realities, fantastical costumes and stunning visuals” to keep y’all entertained as you follow the characters into a “Star Wars-like higher reality where [they] learn the true meaning of ‘the Force’ and the secrets that lie within.” Audience members are encouraged to participate in creating the atmosphere of Beyond Reality by coming in costume as their favorite guru, mythical being or Star Wars character. Tickets are $17 for adults, $14 for children 10 and older. This is a PG show; children under 10 will be admitted for $10 when accompanied by a parent. For tickets and info, call (808) 268-8651.

Friends of Moku’ula Saturday, 5:30 p.m. at Old Lahaina Luau [FUNDRAISER] The Old Lahaina Lu’au will be joining the efforts of the Friends of Moku’ula to build funds for the restoration of one of Maui’s most sacred sites.

Moku’ula is what remains of a tiny island, surrounded by a deep mote, that housed the royal seat of King Kamehameha I. None but royalty and invited guests of the king could visit the island. Moku’ula, now half buried underneath a public parking lot, was also once the home of Hawaiian royalty and burial site of princess Nahi’ena’ena and other members of the family.

The remains have since been removed but the history still lives strong. In 2006, the Friends of Moku’ula will begin building a new parking lot and excavating the ruins buried three feet below ground level. Money has been allotted from the state and county but much is needed to fund such an extensive project. Acclaimed for its traditional style as well as high quality of food and festivities, the Old Lahaina Lu’au has always been very supportive of Hawaiian cultural activity and public enrichment. The lu’au will charge the normal cost for adults and children and donate a portion of the profit to help fund the beginning phase of the project. For reservations, call (808) 667-1998. [GABRIELLE POCCIA]

Sweet Steel Saturday, 7:30 p.m. at CafĂŠ Marc Aurel [MUSIC] Sweet Steel pairs Brian Whittman of the group Cool Steel with musician Andrea Walls for an eclectic evening of calypso, Latin, Brazilian and island music. While Whittman plays steel drum and saxophone, Walls also plays violin, jimbe and marimba. With their barrage of exotic instruments, Cool Steel is all over the map, covering tunes from Santana, Jamaica and well, Ipanema. And yes, musically speaking, the duo does love to stay in Brazil. “They sing about sadness and hard times,â€? said Walls. “And it’s absolutely beautiful. You’d think it’s a love song.â€? No cover.

MOVIECAPSULES MAUI FILM FESTIVAL’S CANDLELIGHT CINEMA Friday, September 30 THE ARISTOCRATS 5 & 7:30 P.M., CASTLE THEATER Leave your political correctness at the door as Jason Alexander, Lewis Black, George Carlin, Whoopi Goldberg, Penn Jillette, Bill Maher, Chris Rock, Bob Saget, Jon Stewart, Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Robin Williams, among nearly 100 others, explore the boundaries of free speech and the taboos and power of language by sharing their “take” on the dirtiest Burlesque joke “never” heard. “The funniest movie you'll ever see,” raved The Hollywood Reporter. Unrated. 92 min.

Wednesday, October 5 THE WARRIOR 5 & 7:30 P.M., CASTLE THEATER A shimmering and poetic exploration of the renunciation of violence by a warlord's former henchman, set against the stunning beauty of India's desertland and western Himalyas. This film won the honor of Best British Film of the Year. Director Asif Kapadia weaves the spiritual cinematic DNA of legendary directors John Ford, Akira Kurosawa, Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood into an epic, a hero's journey toward transcendence in the Bhuddist tradition.

Mostly visual but also in Hindi with English subtitles.

Rated R. 86 min.

New This Week INTO THE BLUE - (PG13) - Action, Thriller When four hot young divers (including Jessica Alba and Paul Walker) discover a shipwreck containing millions in gold, they assume everything will be dandy. But nearby, a sunken plane full of illegal cargo threatens to interfere with their capture of the riches. Their plan proves hazardous when smugglers invade the area to recover their missing plane. Running around wild in their bathing suits, they must work together to escape disaster. 110 min. (Gabrielle Poccia) OLIVER TWIST - (PG13) - Drama - This timless classic by Roman Polanski tells a story of an orphan named Oliver Twist. He is forced to live in a workhouse, run by the awful Mr. Bumble (Ben Kingsley), who cheats the boys of their meager rations.

Desperate yet determined (Oof! I’ve so been there), Oliver makes his escape to the streets of London.

Penniless and alone (Yep, been there too), he is lured into a world of crime by the sinister Fagin, who is the mastermind of a gang of pint-sized pickpockets. Sounds like these kids need a skatepark up in their ‘hood! 110 min. (Kimberly L. Welch) SERENITY - (PG13) - Sci-Fi/Fantasy – Think Star Wars, except there aren’t any big stars or complex

storylines and everyone’s trying to act like Han Solo. It didn’t work as the Sci-Fi Channel series Firefly, so there’s obviously every reason to believe it will work as a feature film! Anyway, the movie’s about a rough-and-tumble interstellar freighter captain who navigates his way through a giant space war and ends up protecting a psychic girl from the clutches of the all-powerful Universal Alliance. Stars a bunch of unknowns and that one Baldwin brother who never seems to do anything good.

MAUI MALL MEGAPLEX

Now Showing THE BROTHERS GRIMM - (PG13) - ActionAdventure, Fantasy - My friend complained to me that our movie capsules are too cynical all the time. So this is me trying to be more positive: Matt Damon and Heath Ledger play brothers that fight fake evil in the 1800s. When their scam is discovered, they are forced to go up against real evil. It can’t be too scary because it’s only rated PG13. But, I’m sure there will be scenes for us ladies to salivate over and witty lines to keep the public entertained. There—was that upbeat enough?

118 min. (Heidi King) CHARLIE & 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) THE CONSTANT GARDENER - (R) - Romantic Drama, Thriller - In Northern Kenya a British activist, Tessa Quayle (Rachel Weisz,) has been found murdered while her companion is missing. Justin (Ralph Fiennes), her widower, a normally dull and unmotivated man, shocks everyone when he sets out, independent from his colleagues, members of the British High Commission, to find the truth behind Tessa’s murder. The clues he finds bring him across three different continents and the mystery that unfolds suggests more than simply a crime of passion. On his search he learns of who his wife really was, who he himself has been, and of a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deeper than he ever imagined. 129 min. (GP) CRY WOLF - (PG13) - Thriller - I didn’t realize a prestigious prep school could have students like this! You see, there’s this student who makes a game out of lying to people. However, the lies start to revolve around murder. Then a real killer appears and offs the students one by one. Oh yeah—and Jon Bon Jovi’s in this. The moral of the story? Maybe it’s “Don’t lie, it’ll get you killed... Or, “Watch out for the phenomenon of Instant Karma... I dunno, but I wonder if Jon has the answer. 90 min. (KLW) DEUCE BIGALOW: EUROPEAN GIGOLO - (R) Comedy - 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. 83 min. (KLW) 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. (AP) THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE - (PG13) Suspense/Horror - Okay, this seems really familar... A 19-year-old college student has been officially recognized by the Catholic Church that she is possessed. As told in flashbacks—you’ll have to pay close attention— this film chronicles the real life, “haunting” trial of the priest accused of negligence resulting in the death of the young girl believed to be possessed and the laywer who takes on the task of defending him. Well, I guess that’s a little different from The Exorcist. 114 min. (KLW) FLIGHT PLAN - (PG13) - Action, Thriller - Forty thousand feet above earth, Kyle (Jodie Foster) and her daughter are among many passengers flying for the first time in one of the world’s first double-decker airplanes. Mid-flight, Kyle returns to her seat after a short absence to find that her child is nowhere to be found.

Astonishingly, after pleading with the staff for help, she is confronted with the fact that there is no record of her daughter ever being on the flight. At this Kyle must wonder if she has lost her mind or if there’s some sort of—duhn dah!—conspiracy against her. As

Jessica Alba and some poor sap she deals with the possible chance of her child being a figment of her imagination, she pushes ahead searching for her daughter in the skeleton of the airplane. 120 min. (GP) JUST LIKE HEAVEN - (PG13) - Romantic Comedy - I have a feeling this one’s going to be a tearjerker. Reese Witherspoon (Legally Blonde) and Mark Ruffalo (13 Going on 30) meet under strange circumstances; they both think the same apartment is theirs. Ruffalo’s character has just moved in and Witherspoon’s character thinks the place is still hers. Maybe it’s the car accident she gets into that messes with her memory. Or, could she be a ghost? An attractive and sweet ghost that steals the heart of the new tenant? Ah, but will their love be enough to keep them together even though he’s still alive? Oh, the obstacles! Get the tissues. 95 min. (HK) LORD OF WAR - (R) - Action-Adventure, Drama Nicholas Cage plays an international arms dealer who runs guns to wars all over the world even as an Interpol agent (Ethan Hawke) chases him down but then suddenly he has pangs of conscience when he meets some chick played by Bridget Moynahan.

Somehow this goes on for 122 minutes. (AP) THE MAN - (PG13) - Action Comedy - It’s time for another odd couple comedic crime adventure! This one’s with Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction) and Eugene Levy (American Pie), as fed agent Jackson tracks down the murderer of his former partner, who for some inexplicable reason, has been replaced by chatty Levy. You know the rest: Car chases abound as Levy annoys Jackson with his bumbling idiot routine, and Jackson makes The Face. 84 min. (Samantha Campos) 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) ROLL BOUNCE - (PG13) - Comedy - I think everyone knows this story—that is, if you were around in the late `70s when roller skating was a way of life. X (Bow Wow) and his rollerskating posse ruled the skating rink supreme. But, of course, the doors to the local skating rink close, so what is little X to do but cruise to the uptown’s Sweetwater Roller Rink. This roller boogie-ing place has the works: beautiful girls and over-the-top skaters. So X and his homies prepare for the Roller Jam skate-off with none other than the Sweetwater Crew.

And with all of this going on, X finds the time to help his dad (Chi McBride) get his act together. 112 min. (KLW) TIM BURTON’S CORSPE BRIDE - (PG) Animation - Yay! Yay! The new Tim Burton movie is finally here! It’s a new story with that similar feel of The Nightmare Before Christmas—death with a romantic twist. I can already see the limitless merchandise that will be available at Hot Topic by next week, at the latest. 75 min. (HK) AN UNFINISHED LIFE - (PG13) - Drama - Jennifer Lopez plays a woman who escapes her abusive boyfriend, and along with her daughter, goes go live with her estranged father (Robert Redford), who is tending to his friend (Morgan Freeman) after a severe bear attack. Symbolism abounds. 100 min. (SC) 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)

ARTS&ENTERTAINMENT

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

Electronic Organica Sound Tribe Sector Nine wants technology and nature to coexist Sound Tribe Sector Nine is an ambient, mostly instrumental, electronic jam band.

Yet they also do live shows with grooveable beats and a near-cultish following similar to improv-heavy bands like Soulive and Phish. Formed in Atlanta, Georgia, in the late ‘90s, the five core members of STS9 now reside in Santa Cruz, California. They released their sophisticated, atmospheric album Artifacts in February of this year and their remix album Perspectives comes out Oct. 4. Recently, we talked with Jeffree Lerner, percussionist and elementals— basically wood, metal and wind instruments—who brings, as he says, “that organic element to the band.”

We didn’t say, you know, “Alright—in 2003, we wanna be using computers.” It’s more of like, you know, we’d been fooling around with them and figured out how to bring some stuff at the instrument rather than a machine. So we really challenged ourselves to use the technology as an instrument, rather than a crutch, if you will.

It’s my highest aspirations for what we do is really to be a living metaphor, in a way, of how technology and nature can exist together. You know what I’m sayin’? ‘Cause we do it through art, and other people do it through biodiesel or solar panels or, you know, there’s a million examples out there. So we just try to be that living metaphor.

And now you have quite a following.

Maui Time Weekly: What was the music like when STS9 first started?

Jeffree Lerner: Funk was the main focus but with a lot of improvisation. And we were really kind of refining that. About a year or two after that, we started bringing in the electronic elements to the band. Just from, you know, what we’d been personally discovering and learning about through production. It’s a real, steady, organic growth to the instruments that come in and the technology we introduce and all that stuff.

It’s different for everywhere we go, you know? Um, we go to some places and play for 300 to 400 people and we go to other places and play to 4,000 people. So it’s really wide, it’s really diverse. Even when the crowds were a hundred people, there was a core, Athens, Atlanta-based fan base that supported us and inspired us to get it out on the road, you know?

It’s kinda always been like that. Even inherently in the name, you know—Sound TRIBE. People just resonate with that, I think, in the sense of being part of a tribe of music. So it’s brought us painters and visual artists of all dif-

ferent sorts, and people who bring crystals to the show, people who bring information about conscious events or concerns in the communities, and who try to do a food drive. We’ve always tried to make it a little bit bigger than just the music. You know?

You look at culture—you know, sporting events and church on Sundays are really the only times people gather anymore. And when people gather, there’s a huge amount of energy and power to the whole change. We always try to not preach to people, just make information available, let people make their own decisions and try to bring awareness to the things we’re concerned about in culture. We registered 2500 people to vote in the last election, we just did a Katrina benefit in Santa Cruz last Tuesday, which raised $17,000. If you just put it out there a little bit, you know, people wanna do the right thing. So we’re trying to just offer that opportunity.

What’s up with the hippies?

Those particular people are drawn to all sorts of music. You know, if you look out in a field and there’s one flower out there, you’re gonna notice that flower. Those people stand out in our culture. Our fans are also college students, they’re young professionals, I’ve seen 50-year-old couples in the audience. It’s

really diverse. Because there are no vocals, in a way, there’s less boundaries, you know, as far as who can appreciate that music.

Those “hippies,” for lack of a better word, are part of like, the jam-based, jam-band community. That community is really less about the type of music played than it is the people who—on the mainland—who love live music and support it and actually create a culture around it. They’re open—they’re just open.

They’re freed up enough in life as well, and young enough to be able to pick up and travel for a week and follow a band around. I give thanks, you know, ‘cause they really make our lives possible, to be able to go out and share the art with people who actually show up, who actually buy the albums and not burn them.

How’s the touring?

There are some aspects that are really tough to go out on a tour for 30 days. We try not to repeat hardly any music for three or four nights, you know? That means pulling out songs that you’ve been playing for six years now, and how do you keep those fresh and how do you present them in a way that doesn’t let on to the feeling of “Hey, I’ve played this song for six years—I’m over it!” Those aspects are challenging. So the new stuff for me is really where it’s at now. MTW

THE OUTLAW SEA This is a 2004 collection of the outstanding Atlantic Monthly journalist William Langewiesche’s best work concerning oceanic crime, anarchy and chaos. Read it on the five-hour flight back to the mainland, which was great except for his detailed, harrowing account of the 1994 deaths of 852 people that occurred when the mishandled, poorly maintained auto ferry Estonia capsized in rough Baltic weather. Langewiesche vividly shows that those few who survived largely did so because they were strong, lucky and didn’t hesitate when struggling friends and loved ones told them to go on without them.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) What’s the secret of your success? Always living a balanced, moderate lifestyle and being nice to people? No f-ing way. Virtually everything admirable, fascinating or inspiring you’ve done has been during the journeys back to the center from various extremes. Your life may be about creating balance, but don’t get too good at it; you’ll bore even yourself, not to mention the rest of us. The process matters more than the result. Loosen the reins a little. Let your life slide off the rails; it’s when you’re working to get it back—to generate order from chaos—that you’ll learn (and do) the most.

Maui’s Only Locally Owned Newspaper is GROWING...

Join Our TEAM!

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Siberia’s Lake Baikal is the deepest freshwater lake in the world; its volume equals all five Great Lakes combined, holding 20% of the planet’s surface freshwater. Of course, there’s no way of knowing that just by looking at it. You know what people see when they don’t really know you? Some freak who’s mildly obsessed with sex and death. They have no idea about the vast repositories of hard-won wisdom you possess, or that you’re only interested in sex and death because they’re undeniably real. The world desperately needs a reality check, and you’re the only one with enough perspective to go around. You’ve got your work cut out for you; better get started.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) As the increasingly conservative Danish government tries to close down Christiana (the autonomous community in the heart of Copenhagen) to build condos, radicals mount resistance. The most visible opposition is the Danish Clown Army. They make humorous non-violent combat while garbed in red noses and clown suits. They understand that when your oppressors are unequivocally stronger than you, unconventional means of countering their efforts must be employed. Whether their methods work or not ultimately remains to be seen; your own outthere ideas, however, are quite promising. In other words, don’t play the game you’re guaranteed to lose. Instead, if you can, change the game.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Sometimes it sucks to be a Capricorn. Your drive for stability and success often makes you sacrifice opportunities for immediate happiness. You want fun, love and loads of sex as much as the next guy, but you just don’t let yourself go there much of the time. Sure, you’re setting yourself up for a nice future, but what if disaster strikes before your plans ripen? And even if it doesn’t, how fun will abundant sex be when you’re that much older and fatter? I’m not saying throw it all away in the name of instant gratification. But letting some of it slide for that reason would be less of a mistake than you think.

CEnthusiastic ool Restaurant Highest Standards

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Anyone who still supports Bush and his compassionless cronies (especially after the mismanagement of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath) has got to be just dumb as dough. The administration’s obstinate blindness to tangible dangers and manipulative misdirection towards imaginary ones is a lethal quality in leadership. Yeah, I know I’m preaching to the converted here. If Aquarians ran the world, the monkey president wouldn’t stand a chance. The unwashed masses who just don’t give a shit (or who are too dopey to know better) need to get a clue. This week, you have a chance to make a tangible difference in this department. Please seize it. If you coolheaded Water Bearers won’t give it a shot, who will?

Looking For

Dedicated

Cool People!

Passion for Freshness

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Even whales can suffer the bends—incapacitation following a too-rapid ascent from the pressure of deep ocean. I’m going for some kind of metaphor here; you dive just as deep as those beautiful beasts. Although sudden transitions back to the real world from those dark depths probably won’t kill you, it’s still brutal. Your life has to have room for the unavoidable surface stuff as well as all the profound explorations your soul craves. You know this, and have done your best to fit both in. But you’ll be a lot happier—especially this week—if you can factor in something else you haven’t considered: transition times from one extreme to the other.

Lahaina Store Grille & Oyster Bar,

Front Street’s newest eatery, is centrally located in the historical 1916 Lahaina Store building across from the board walk. The two floor restaurant is offering Maui’s only rooftop dining and a 47-foot raw oyster bar, this 10,300 square foot restaurant is also featuring an exhibition kitchen complete with four chef’s tables and a total of 350 seats.

If this exciting restaurant fits your bill then apply for the following positions:

• line cooks • baker

• dish washer • wait staff

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Admit it: you like to be in charge. It galls you to let someone else call the shots, and if you’re in a position where you absolutely have to submit to someone else’s will, you rebel in countless little ways. It sure doesn’t come naturally to you to roll over and bare your neck, but it’s a good exercise in trust—especially if someone deserves and desires it. There are pleasures in submission you haven’t yet explored. Won’t you check that aspect of life out, even if only as a short-term game? I think you’d get off on it—and I mean that literally as well as figuratively.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Everyone notices different kinds of details and lets others slip by completely. If you ask me what someone was wearing the other day, I could only guess—I never retain that kind of information unless it’s extremely surprising or notable in some way. But I could give you intimate descriptions regarding their eyes, the shapes of their faces, mouth, hair and so on. You are more observant than most, but you have your blind spots too; there’s some important—in retrospect you might even consider it vital—information lurking in one right now. Get someone to help you find and notice it.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) It’s hard to describe weeks like this one, which will be infested with little things that will either mildly annoy or amuse you, but not really piss you off, or make you scream with laughter. I think of these middling periods as good practice time. Turn up the gain on your sense of humor. Try to find ways to smile at the petty crap that would normally irritate you. You’ll find the stuff that’d make you smile before could now potentially make you laugh out loud. Sure, people will think you’re crazier than they did, but so what? You’ve never cared about that. Crazier? So be it, as long as you’re happier, too.

Applications accepted at 744 Front Street in the Lahaina Store building first floor office from 9:00 am through 5:00 pm Monday through Friday or email dhanley@lahainastoregrille.com TAKE A SNEAK PEAK!

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) I’m no anti-capitalist. By all means, you should go out and make some dough. But don’t let it conflict too much with your own short- and long-term happiness, which is something I lately suspect you of doing. I think there should be a maximum ceiling on how long you let yourself be miserable, especially when it comes to just making money. There are ways and there are ways. If you really think sacrificing your well-being and capacity for joy just to receive a pitifully small paycheck is your only option, you’re not being creative or resourceful enough.

You’re probably underestimating yourself, too. Let this Libra New Moon be the end to that bullshit, and the beginning of a chapter where profit and happiness can coexist.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Leos are generous. But they’re not exceptionally practiced (at least not until after they hit their 40s) at sacrifice. It’s all well and good to take care of yourself first, then extravagantly share the rest with others. But every once in a while it’s a valuable exercise to go without so that someone else can benefit—especially if you can do so without making a big ego deal out of it. While I’m talking about making a sacrifice I’ll mention this, too: a oneoff is fine, if that’s all you can manage. But a regular habit would be far, far better.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) As a writer, I always have to figure out how to edit my words, boil and distill them to their most concise and potent substance. It’s not just a matter of fitting into a certain space, although that’s a consideration (certainly with an astrology column). It’s also about holding people’s interest, speaking with an authentic voice, and not wasting people’s time with too much unnecessary information or bullshit. You’ve got a lot of fluff floating around right now.

You’re losing credibility by sharing every minute and mundane detail of your existence. That’s not intimacy, that’s over-familiarity. Figure out what’s important and fascinating about your life; share that, and mostly edit out the rest.

(In last week’s column, I began the tale of how I met Mr. X. Here’s how things turned out.)

The next several weeks entailed lots of illicit sex in public places. And we had heated discussions about everything. Most importantly, he was stimulating. He made me feel something.

He tested my boundaries and challenged my intellect. I guess we met at a time when I was bored, and X accessed that part of me that missed unpredictability, excitement, an element of danger and of course, the pompous intellectualism—stuff I associate with living in the city. I missed that. I very nearly craved it.

Aside from the excitement, there were issues. Major issues. Like, he hated his mother.

That’s always a bad sign. He hated people. He hated himself. And he didn’t trust anyone. He never felt comfortable in social situations. He said he didn’t care about impressing anyone and he didn’t understand why people couldn’t just leave him alone, and yet, it seemed to me, he needed their attention.

The first time I told him I never wanted to see or hear from him again, the reaction was nihilistic. To him, this was unacceptable. The late night calls were nonstop, loud, angry and frightened my roommates. Don’t worry, I told them, they’ll stop eventually. But soon he began showing up at my favorite haunts, peering at me through windows, casting angry looks in my direction.

And for some inexplicable reason, he insisted on maintaining our friendship. The calls and emails were incessant. He was impossible to ignore.

Of course, there were other girls. Lots and lots of ‘em. Unsolicited, he would tell me about them all—sometimes pointing them out on the street. They were almost always exotic, dark, beautiful. Maui seemed to be an unending source of willing females for Mr. X to beguile and repulse, often simultaneously. Obviously I didn’t enjoy feeling like a number, although part of me enjoyed hearing about the details of his seductions.

We had long stopped having sex but after dates, he would come over, crawl into bed with me and just sleep, his arms wrapped tight around my body, his large frame taking up most of my small bed. Towards the end, there were times he would simply show up, unannounced, at my door.

On one of these nights, he’d come over and stripped naked in front of my mirror. Without the layers of clothing, the confident swagger, the playful sniggers, the overt intellectualism, Mr. X’s nude figure was surprisingly unsexy. His body was pasty white, fleshy and covered in freckles. Thick, reddish hair sprouted in random places. Meaty arms dangled next to an overlong torso indelibly marked by man-boobs and love handles.

After scrutinizing himself for a few minutes, he turned around to me, held his arms out in a quizzical shrug and laughed.

“Is THIS what girls like?” he asked. “THIS body? Really?”

He seemed to understand his power, this strange yet undeniable appeal to girls and he openly proved it, again and again. But I think their attraction depressed him, as much as it depressed me. I hated the idea that girls were weak; so deprived of affection, so needy and easily manipulated to the point that they would not just overlook major flaws in his character, his often demonic ego, but that they would also seek to feed it.

It also occurred to me that, not only was I one of these girls, but I was also just as bad as him. His ugliest traits were also my own—the insecurity, social ineptitude and negativity, the manipulation, dramatics, judgment and criticism of others were all weaknesses I battled with, and sometimes overcompensated for.

I hated Mr. X because Mr. X was the darkest and worst part of me.

And when I realized that, a sort of fog lifted. We spent one last night together, on his birthday. It was a good evening for us, uncharacteristically all sweetness and light. We sat at a bar while it seemed the world revolved around the bubble we made of our newfound acceptance. It was like some sort of epic closure.

At the end of the night, stumbling drunk and giggling like the most juvenile of delinquents, we urinated in a parking lot together—he held my pants off the ground for me while I squatted, and I helped him write initials on the pavement with his piss.

And then the next day, for my birthday, Mr. X gave me the greatest gift of all.

He moved to China.
