Ferry Bills & Crib Notes HYPER LOCAL

process.” Somehow that’s not reassuring….

Got cc’d this week on a letter Akaku CEO Jay April sent to various policymakers and media types regarding HB2902, a bill that would change the way money from cable franchise fees is distributed and could impact the future of community access television in Hawaii. By law, a percentage of a cable company’s gross annual revenue has to be earmarked for PEG (public, education, government) programming; it’s the “rent” the companies pay for running their wires through public land. In his letter, April writes that HB2902 would “effectively destroy successful PEG access on the neighbor islands by diverting 2/3 [of] funds to the state sector which cannot and does not operate with the same mission: ‘Empowering our Community’s Voice through Access to Media.’”

Akaku has been fighting for survival for years (see our October 2008 feature “The Pirates of Public Access”). So far, they’ve weathered each storm and remain Maui’s only unfiltered television outlet. Sure, their community-produced programming is sometimes strange or downright nonsensical, but often it’s entertaining and incisive, too.

The best analogy is one April gave me when I interviewed him for the ’08 story: Akaku is like a public park—sometimes folks deliver the Gettysburg Address, sometimes they whiz in the bushes. Either way, you don’t want to lose the park…. Update on the Dowling/Morgan Stanley Makena postmortem: The resort formerly known as the Maui Prince—which has been managed since September by Benchmark Hospitality—will be auctioned off in April. Chris Lau, a Honolulu broker, has been tapped to oversee the auction; in a prepared statement quoted in Pacific Business News, Lau promised things would remain “business as usual throughout the

LOCAL Money’s tight. The legislature’s in session.

Inevitably, that means another attempt to legalize gambling in Hawaii. Multiple bills have been introduced, but two appear to have momentum: HB2251, which would establish “a gaming commission to oversee casino gaming” and allow “the gaming commission to issue one 5-year license to a casino gaming operation in a county with a population of more than 500,000” (aka Oahu); and HB2759, which would authorize “the Hawaiian Homes Commission to allow gaming on Hawaiian Home Lands and to designate specific Hawaiian Home Lands parcels for the purposes of establishing casino gaming operations.” Moral objections aside, lawmakers who are hoping this will be an economic boon may be in for a rude awakening: according to a September 2009 Esquire report, 2008 was the first year in history that casino revenue fell nationwide. “The boom in Vegas,” the article concludes, “might have led states to misread casino gambling’s upside potential.” And even Vegas has been hit hard. On the other hand, Hawaii’s isolation and built-in tourist appeal could mitigate some of the problems faced by other regional casinos. Appropriately, this looks like a roll of the dice…. Supporters and opponents of the Superferry have surely heard about HB2667, a bill introduced

by Maui Rep. Joe Souki, along with Rep. Karen Awana and Speaker Calvin Say, that would establish “the Hawaii state ferry system and the Hawaii state ferry system special fund for the operation of a ferry system between the islands”—basically a reboot of the Superferry with public money.

Because hey, if something failed with mostly private financing, the best idea is to try it again, only this time hurl gobs of taxpayer

cash at it, right? (Incidentally but instructively, the bill is very poorly written; “Superferry” is frequently not capitalized and is sometimes written as two words, and at one point the word “available” is spelled “ayailable.”) Even if HB2667 sinks, joint high-speed vessels (JHSV) may still cut through Hawaii’s waters.

As reported February 9 by the Honolulu Advertiser, the Army is considering basing “up to three” JHSVs in Pearl Harbor. And those vessels might not merely be like the Superferry, they could actually be the Superferry. Quoted in the Advertiser, Department of Transportation harbor director Mike Fromby said no decision was imminent, but that the idea of using the Alakai and her never-launched sister ship, the Huakai, had been “discussed.”…

NOT LOCAL I really don’t want to turn this space into a weekly chronicle of Sarah Palin’s gaffes (mostly because she seems like one of those mythical creatures that gets stronger as you attack it), but she’s making this far too easy: On February 6, Palin delivered a speech to the National Tea Party Convention in Tennessee, during which she lambasted Obama for, among other things, using a teleprompter. Palin herself was reading from prepared remarks, but here’s the kicker: sharpeyed observers noticed she had something written on her hand, and photo zoom-ins revealed it was a short series of talking points: “Energy,” “Tax,” “Lift American Spirits” and “Budget Cuts,” with, inexplicably, the word “Budget” crossed out. So does that mean if her palm had gotten sweaty she would have advocated raising taxes, increasing the budget and dashing American spirits? ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/coconut31

Sex and the Presidency Love triangles, illegitimate children and closeted gay affairs—just another day at 1600 Pennsylvania

O

n February 15, after the chocolate hearts and platitude-filled greeting cards have been exchanged, Americans will celebrate Presidents’ Day. It’s an opportunity to recognize those honorable men who have held our nation’s highest office.

Or, in some cases, not so honorable.

Everyone remembers the tawdry tale of Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky and the stained blue dress, but that’s merely one example of Presidential philandering—and it’s far from the most salacious. Sure, Clinton was the only POTUS ever impeached for cheating on his wife (and then lying about it under oath), but extramarital affairs were par for the course for many of his predecessors.

(Beloved chief executives Franklin Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower, among others, strayed from the marital bed.) If not for an overzealous special prosecutor and morally vindictive—not to mention wildly hypocritical—Republican Congress, Clinton’s scandal would never have gotten as far as it did. The details of the affair—young intern, Oval Office shenanigans, a strategically placed cigar—were downright pedestrian.

Don’t believe us? Let’s take a look at the top five Presidential sex scandals…

5. Warren G. Harding Considered one of the worst Presidents in history, Harding was also a topnotch horndog. He carried on an extended affair with his wife’s married friend, who later blackmailed him while he was in office. But the real scandal involved his alleged relationship with young Nan Britton. Despite a 34-year age difference, the two supposedly had a lovechild, Elizabeth Ann, who was the subject of Britton’s tellall book, The President’s Daughter. Harding died of mysterious causes while in office, and Britton, who lived until 1991, was never able to prove the veracity of her claims.

4. Grover Cleveland In 1884, while running for President, Cleveland was hit with allegations that he had an illegitimate son with a woman named Maria Crofts

Halpin. Cleveland took responsibility for the boy and was elected anyway (a lesson other politicians have failed to heed). Then, two years after taking office, he got married— not to the mother of his child, but to the 21-year-old daughter of his friend, Oscar Folsom, who also had an affair with Halpin.

Oh, and the name Halpin gave her bastard child? Oscar Folsom Cleveland.

sister of Jefferson’s wife, Martha.

3. John F. Kennedy Kennedy’s affair with Marilyn Monroe is the one history remembers, but a dalliance with another, much less famous woman led to allegations of mafia connections. Judith Campbell Exner (who, like Monroe, was supposedly introduced to Kennedy by Frank Sinatra) was linked to both Kennedy and Chicago mob boss Salvatore Giancana in the 1960s.

In 1988, Exner told People magazine that she’d carried messages between Kennedy and Giancana. She later said she had Kennedy’s child aborted and also slept with the President’s brother, Bobby.

niece, Harriet, assumed First Lady duties— and he lived for more than a decade with Senator William Rufus King, who, according to biographer Jean Baker, was variously referred to as “Aunt Fancy,” “Miss Nancy” and, most unambiguously, Buchanan’s “wife.”

In an 1844 letter written while King was in Europe, Buchanan complained of “having no

2. Thomas Jefferson In the 18th century, it was no scandal for the President of the United States to own slaves. But for the President to have sex with one of those slaves and father her child? Another matter entirely. And yet that is, according to some accounts, exactly what iconic Founding Father Thomas Jefferson did. Allegations of an affair between Jefferson and Sally Hemings first sprouted up during his Presidency. But it wasn’t until almost 200 years later that a DNA test on descendants of Jefferson and Hemings confirmed a genetic link. Adding another layer of intrigue is the fact that Hemings may have been the half-

Of course, Buchanan never came out of the closet—to do so would surely have ruined his political career, a fact that, sadly, hasn’t changed 150 years later. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/upfront31

ront Street’s Wo Hing Museum is a thriving treasure. Whereas in the last installment of MauiTime Machine we explored the ruins of the Wo Hing’s Wailuku brethren, the Chee Kung Tong Society building (Vineyard Street’s up-for-sale plot, upon which little more than foundation blocks, old fruit trees and an intriguing archway remain), the wooden Wo Hing has a freshly-scrubbed colorfulness and is carefully maintained.

One of just two surviving Chinese Society Houses, the former Wo Hing Society Hall— now managed by the Lahaina Restoration Foundation—is a vibrant historical resource and an important local artifact. Best of all, for a paltry $2 admission, it’s open to the public, and its substantial body of centuryold documents (most of which surfaced in 1999) are available for research purposes.

The bright red, glittery modern décor and quirky accents work aesthetically.

And the modest museum gift shop—more of a gift hutch, really—lets you take home a memento of your visit, while helping support the museum’s maintenance.

easy for beginners to manage. As you become more practiced, Brenda said encouragingly, you can experiment with different types of more delicate cording, and by creating a continuous strand of the double coin knot, can make necklaces and bracelets. Secondly, she teaches a “cross knot technique”—boxed shape on one side, a cross on the other—which, in her display, can make a simple key chain.

On February 20, the Wo Hing will host a Chinese New Year event with food, entertainment and demonstrations. See next week’s Da Kine Calendar or go to mauitime. com for more info.

Beyond special events and demos, whether you’re perusing the displays, lighting incense in the upstairs temple or watching the loop of period footage, the Wo Hing is a wonderful spot for everything from casual meandering to hardcore research. It’s the sort of thing you love to see in a town like Lahaina: a resource for locals and visitors alike. And as the last living and, to our community’s great fortune, public example of a significant part of Hawaii’s history, it is not only something to treasure but something worth keeping alive for generations to come. ■

ll of Maui’s original six Chinese Society Houses were built at the turn of the 20th century, serving as the cornerstones of fraternal structure for migrant Chinese workers who came to work the sugar plantations.

Though founded out of the secret societies of ancient Chinese Freemasonry, the Hawaii societies—by virtue of their geographical separation—naturally came to place an emphasis on brotherhood and distanced themselves from their parent-society’s stronger political themes.

Maintaining spiritual and cultural practices gave ground to the moral foundations, fueling camaraderie. The only thriving example of their lifestyle and worship is preserved at the Wo Hing’s upstairs temple.

Experiencing decline in the late ’40s and subsequently severe disrepair culminating in the early 80s, the remaining three houses were placed on first the State then National Register of Historic Places. The Wo Hing boasts the earliest listing, according to a National Register report—it was first listed as part of the National Registered Lahaina Historic District on October 15, 1966, nearly two decades before the Chee Kung Tong or Kula’s privately owned Ket Hing.

Were it not for the Lahaina Restoration Foundation, the Wo Hing would likely have collapsed due to termite damage and suffered the same fate as the Chee Kung Tong (which was removed from the State register two years after its collapse in 1996). Rehabilitation of the Wo Hing, beginning in 1983, and operation of the museum is owed to the efforts of the foundation, which cares for 11 major historic structures in Lahaina town.

aytime tours—during which you can appreciate the attached cookhouse’s displays of “old cooking woks, steamers and other utensils” of the day—are wonderful, but the museum’s most unique offering is its extended Friday night hours. The knowledge the docents share through cultural demonstrations gives lively air to this unique piece of history, backed by a soundtrack of modern Chinese music, piped outside, floating into the street.

Recently, I participated in a special Chinese knotting demonstration. The instructor, Brenda, told me about growing up on Front Street, playing with siblings and friends on the hall’s grounds while her mother attended church inside.

Brenda teaches two Chinese knotting techniques, the first being a “double coin knot,” which represents overlapping coins

HONEY, WEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;RE MOVING TO DENVER As of early January, at least 390 new Denver businesses had applied for sales-tax licenses as dispensaries for legal (medicinal) marijuana. By comparison, Starbucks coffee shops number 208 in the entire state of Colorado. Among the first cannabis-centered businesses to open, in December, was the Ganja Gourmet on South Broadway, featuring lasagna, pizza, jambalaya, paella, flavored cheesecakes and other delicacies, all â&#x20AC;&#x153;spicedâ&#x20AC;? appropriately for customers with doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prescriptions.

A GIRLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S OTHER BEST FRIEND Jeweler Colin Burn, of Broome, Australia, announced in October at the Asia Adult Expo in Macau that he will make the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most expensive â&#x20AC;&#x153;personal vibrator,â&#x20AC;? in 10 limited editions, out of smooth platinum, each with 1,500 white diamonds. He said he planned to shoot for a price of $1 million (U.S.) and noted that he currently offers a similar sex toy with only 450 diamonds (but with a handle made of rare conkerberry wood) that he sells for $38,000.

COZY QUARTERS After the New York Post reported in December on the 175-square-foot Manhattan apartment recently purchased

by Christopher Prokop and his wife (for $150,000, with $800 monthly in maintenance fees), residents of even smaller Manhattan digs told the Post they were unimpressed. For instance, Felice Cohen, 39, rents a 90-square-foot apartment ($700) with a loft bed, but admits that she must sit sideways on the toilet. Freelance eventplanner Eddie Rabon rents a 55-squarefoot palace for $800 a month (closer to midtown than Cohenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s). He can almost touch both side walls simultaneously and cannot easily turn around while showering.

Commented the residents, respectively: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love it,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love it,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic.â&#x20AC;?

THE RIGHT PART Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a man of distinction, but that is of little comfort in the tight economy. Actor Jonah Falcon, 39, is out of work and living once again with his parents in New York City, according to a January report on AOL News.

A 1999 HBO documentary touted Falcon as

possessor of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest penis (13 1/2 inches, aroused).

He has appeared in mainstream film and TV roles (Law and Order, Melrose Place, The Sopranos), but has refused to do pornography. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I did porn, nobody would take me seriously.â&#x20AC;? However, he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be opposed to doing a nude scene [in a mainstream film] if I got the right part.â&#x20AC;?

PUDDING THEM ON The recent Christmas bonus season was rough at the RF Brookes pizza-ingredient factory in Wigston, England. Workers received only gift containers of pudding (â&#x20AC;&#x153;plum duffsâ&#x20AC;?) with a use-by date of March 2009, but accompanied by a letter from management assuring them that food technicians had certified the product as safe to eat in January 2010. (After numerous employee complaints, the company apologized and offered fresh plum duffs.)

DIRTY BIRDS A team of researchers led by a University of Connecticut professor, writing recently in the ornithology journal The Auk, declared the local saltmarsh sparrow to be Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most promiscuous bird, in that 95 percent of the females hook up with more than one male during a mating season. The likelihood that any two chicks in a nest had the same father was only 23 percent, and in one-third of the nests, all chicks had different fathers. The researchers hypothesized that the frequent flooding of Connecticutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marshes destroys so many nests that non-choosy females have gained evolutionary advantage. (A wren in Australia and a parrot in Madagascar are said to be comparably promiscuous.)

Re the February 4 analysis of Obama’s State of the Union: I commend you for doing a fair job of criticizing the President’s faults and praising his strengths, but the larger point is that no speech can lead to change. Action is required, and that’s what’s been sorely lacking in this Administration.

Of course, we got plenty of action with the last Administration, and look where that got us.

WHAT IS BLOOD?

B

BY ANU YAGI

BLOOD BANK OF HAWAII—CONNECTING DONORS TO THOSE IN NEED

GIVING LIFE

12 February 11, 2010

In some it inspires fear; in others, fascination. So essential to our concept of bodily existence, it is the synonymy of life and death. Our species’ ritual, art and science have been steeped in it for millennia, and while, as Shakespeare wrote, “blood will have blood,” even those that go bump in the night know, as Bram Stoker added, “the blood is the life.” It is from centuries of both battlefield need and morbid fascination that we are able to utilize blood in a lifesaving way—by intravenous transfusion.

From cannibalism to Catholicism, the consumption of blood is inexorably tied to attaining vitality. But for those in medical need of blood—such as by blood loss due to surgery or trauma, or for the treatment of blood diseases like leukemia or sickle cell anemia—blood’s vitality is literal, and there is no substitute for it.

The life of all flesh is in the blood thereof - Leviticus 17:14 » types of leukocytes and, as with any army, each are specialized warriors. Neutrophils, for example, target bacteria and fungi, while basophils address necessary inflammatory responses by releasing histamines. Malignancy of these cells is known as leukemia.

Platelets—or thrombocytes—are a curious cellular constituent. Anuclear (without nucleus), they resemble dollops of coleslaw and are key in hemostasis (blood clotting). Thrombocytopathy refers to abnormalities with platelets—too high of a count, and vessels can become blocked, too little and excessive bleeding and bruising occurs.

When any of these multifarious, delicately balanced functions are compromised by disease, or when the quantity of blood the body needs to churn through its cardiovascular system (about 5 liters) is depleted, intravenous transfusion is a do-or-die necessity.

But, as tied to life as blood may be, blood has a life of its own—literally. Erythrocytes, for example, take seven days to develop and mature, then live for about 100 to 120 days

in circulation. Thrombocytes, on the other hand, only live for about eight to 12 days. This means, in short, that blood is perishable, posing challenges for collection and usage.

Living blood—without substitute and beyond synthesis—can thus be attained in only one way: donation.

WHY GIVE?

T

wo, simple words: Volunteer Donor.

It is as if the label imprinted with those words has unstuck itself from the blood bag, and is now fluttering in my field of vision like a proud moth—its bold proclamation black and broadcast on white wings. Volunteer Donor.

“Is there any other kind?” I ask my pair of nurses. They are, with great professional ceremony, connecting the contents of the blood bag to the peripheral IV in my left arm.

Laughing inquisitively to indicate a need for clarification, they ready themselves to kindly

lood is considered a specialized connective tissue, the body’s hydraulic system, which acts as transporter, repairman, messenger and waste remover. Whole blood consists of three basic types of cells—red, white and platelets—all of which are created in bone marrow and suspended in plasma (the aqueous base accounting for 55 percent of whole blood’s makeup). Mostly water (about 90 percent), plasma contains and circulates proteins and lipoproteins as well as other essential components such as immunoglobulins (antibodies), trace minerals and electrolytes.

Of the three types, red cells—or erythrocytes—are the most common. Within the membrane of these jelly donut-esque cells, in the cytoplasm, is the iron-containing metalloprotein, hemoglobin. Oxygen binds to (and is thus transported by) hemoglobin, fulfilling the erythrocyte’s most essential function. The iron of hemoglobin gives these cells their characteristic red color, and a deficiency thereof is known as anemia.

White cells—or leukocytes—are a wellknown component, though the least prevalent in whole blood. We know them as the knights in shining armor of our immune system, though electron microscopes reveal they look more like snowball pastries that got stiffed on the full serving of coconut. There are several »

field yet another question; one of a volley I’d hurled since my arrival at Maui Memorial Medical Center just a few hours prior.

“I mean, are there involuntary donors?

Where does this blood come from?”

Every drop—unless banked by me in advance, say, in preparation for surgery—came from local, volunteer donors during blood drives, the nurses explain.

“Do we know who they are? Can they be reached? Can I thank them?”

The nurses crumple their chins and lower lips, shaking their heads saying that I could not. Reasons of anonymity, privacy and things of that nature. Still, it was all I could think of, those two words. Volunteer Donor The blood bag hangs, its bottom bulbous with viscous weight. As the blood drips into a cylindrical chamber before conjoining to a tube twain to a bag of saline, the color diffuses. It is at first coffee berries in Kula dew, then ohia lehua cast in shadow and finally hibiscus in Lahaina sun.

With every churn and click of the IV pump,

the blood creeps closer to my veins.

I lie, barely breathing, watching the slow crawl. The blood drips on, but the realization is a wave. Right now, someone else’s blood is in my body— and right now, it’s saving my life.

Despite my refusal to accept the truth—I have cancer, leukemia to be exact—I needed blood and I needed it soon. Not necessarily because of any losses I’d experienced (the more than a month I’d spent trying to hide the fact I woke every morning with a mouth full of blackened blood or that with the slightest nick, I’d ooze red all day), but because my blood is doing something highly abnormal, and only good blood—from someone else—could stave symptoms and provide treatment for what would otherwise eventually kill me.

This transfusion of two units—the first in what will, over the next month, amount to dozens—takes all night. Each unit is 450ml, and must run slowly into the system, taking about four hours.

Morning comes. The last bag flattens as its contents dwindle, the faint mottling of bubbles like tempera paint blown and popped on paper in grade school. In the last eight hours I didn’t sleep, but instead watched color return to my skin, my arms flushing pink as if I’d smeared on a thick layer of Calamine lotion. I’d forgotten, until now, what it was like to feel good.

I remain hospitalized on Oahu for five weeks, largely due to my medical need to be close to a blood bank. The Blood Bank of Hawaii is based entirely on Oahu and serves 19 civilian hospitals throughout the state—eight of which are based on outer islands. However, the highly regulated storage and processing of blood can only be handled through a blood bank, and for patients like myself, Oahu hospitalization eliminates the foul prospect of not being able to acquire the right blood at the right time. Though it is the best healthcare choice, this distance adds financial and emotional burden to outer island patients and their families, already under duress.

Meanwhile, outer island donors are inconvenienced by their limited opportunity to give blood. Though restricted to donating at a minimum of 56-day intervals, donors are relegated to a specific few days of blood drives, held but once every other month.

This can clash with schedules and discourage participation.

Challenges aside, Blood Bank of Hawaii’s Oahu-based operation has saved a lot of lives statewide since 1941.

Two months after my first-ever transfusion, home again on Maui, I am at the Cameron Center. The Blood Bank of Hawaii is holding a four-day blood drive, for which a specially trained crew and their equipment have been flown in. Maui donors have come out in full force.

These drives require not only lodging and transportation for the large crew, but for the blood itself. Given blood’s perishable nature, the blood bank relies heavily on the support of Hawaiian

Airlines, with whom they schedule regular shipments every couple of hours, explains Rose Espina, the crew’s team leader on the third day of the drive.

Before shipping, Espina says they divide the blood into about ten segments, wrapping and packing the segments in ice. She points to a neat stack of empty white boxes, labels and packaging prepared in advance.

It’s barely past midday and they’ve already worked with over 90 donors.

Exceeding their goals (though there is always need and room for more), their daily count has numbered between 135 and 145 donors per day. Managing such volume, the impressive crew works with speed and polish.

Admirable as the blood bank’s satellite operations are, I am distracted by the fact that I am standing in a room full of Volunteer Donors, amidst the very people who saved my life and the lives of countless others.

Most immediately apparent is how diverse the donors are. It’s the kind of spirit-lifting mix usually only seen in TV commercials—people of all ages and ethnicities, their dress and demeanor suggesting a slew of occupations from construction workers to executives, retirees, students and teachers.

There is something very telling about they way they all sit so patiently and politely, awaiting their appointments.

Then, I notice how each and every one of them, upon standing when their name is called, smiles.

“It’s one of the last idealistic, altruistic things you can do,” a longtime donor tells me as we chat after his appointment. He’s given “a couple of gallons,” here in Hawaii, cleverly adding he’s left a half-dozen gallons back on the Mainland, too.

“I’m healthy as a horse. Nothing precludes me from doing it. It doesn’t hurt me,” he says. “Anyone who is strong enough to do it, and has time, should.”

“Sometimes you don’t really realize the meaning behind it all—how it really is like paying something forward,” says a female donor, as she rejoins her husband outside for refreshments. Her husband says they’ve donated individually for years, but that this is the first time they’ve come as a couple. Enjoying the time spent together, they plan to share the experience more regularly.

The next day, the drive has moved to Maui Economic Opportunity, just up the street. It’s a steamy, Christmas Eve morning and the room smells of Portuguese bean soup, apple pie and warm manju.

“We thought it would be a nice way to spend the holiday,” says one young man—a first time donor—who is there with his long-time donor father.

“I can’t surf today,” he continues, of having to take a break from the waves so as to comply with the recommended 24-hour refrain from strenuous activity, “but it’s worth it.”

I also meet several professional women, having planned their appointments during lunch breaks, » Continued on page 28

he term Supper Club has a colorful history. It’s a social destination, with classy cocktails, upscale dining and on-stage entertainment. In the 1930s and ’40s, some went underground to become prohibition clubs. At least on Maui cocktails are legal thanks (or no thanks) to the LC, and Stella Blues Supper Club is rockin.’

Their recently renovated entertainment and dining room is casual and distinguished.

It’s separate from the regular dining room; as you check in you’re led past the bar to the back. The mood is festive and dressy.

The open-beam ceiling and wood walls give the room a warm overtone, like being in a lodge or a chateau. The white tablecloths and stemmed water glasses are a nice touch— just fancy enough. The four-course meal, wine pairings and the fantastic duo of Barry Flanagan and Eric Gilliom stimulate your senses completely. The room is full of good sounds all night: the clanking of forks and glasses and the din of happy conversation eventually give way to Barry and Eric’s easy banter and amazing acoustic guitar stylings.

The food changes with each show and features items not on the regular menu. The ceviche appetizer was a wonderful starter, fresh and citrusy with a bit of coconut milk.

A recent supper club menu featured stuffed mushroom caps with smoked marlin dip.

It’s a pre-fixe menu set by the chef; in many ways, it’s refreshing not to have to make a decision about the meal. Your job is to sit down and enjoy. I can do that. A crisp salad follows; fresh greens, fruit and cheese break up the meal. If you are familiar with Stella Blues, you already know that they love to use locally made ingredients, putting an emphasis on sustainable menus and adding a healthy element to their comfort food.

The entree does come with a decision, but it’s not a difficult one—generally beef or fish. (Vegetarians needn’t worry—they have an array of veggie-friendly dishes, just

let your server know you’d like that option.)

The mahi mahi crusted with macadamia nuts and a lilikoi butter sauce is one of my favorite items. The sauce is heavenly and complements the tender and flaky mahi. They also have a wonderful prime rib, New York steak and pastas. Red or white wine pairing is another option you’ll have to make a decision on.

The dinner finishes with a fabulous dessert. Amid the brownie ala mode and cheesecake, the sweet tooth gets fed as the lights go down and guitars heat up.

Barry Flanagan is an award-winning Hawaii musician well known from his band Hapa. A virtuoso slack key guitar legend, at first glance you wouldn’t expect this pretty haole boy to throw down the chicken skin Hawaiian music, singing in Hawaiian no less. But that’s only if you don’t know him; Flanagan is renowned in the Hawaiian music realm. His 1993 album won 6 Na Hoku Hanohano awards including album, song and artist of the year. His 2006 album, Maui, also won album of the year at the Na Hoku Hanohano and a number of other awards, including a graphics prize for Maui’s own Scott Johnson of Dogtowne Designs.

Eric Gilliom is the second half of the musical team, with a great story of his own.

A Maui Boy from an entertainment family, he left the islands to pursue music and theater. After many successful projects on the Mainland and abroad he found himself back on Maui pursuing and feeding the local arts scene. His performance as Franknfurter in the production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show is infamous in the best possible sense.

His band, Barefoot Natives, a joint venture with Willie K, was also very successful, and he plays with Mick Fleetwood’s Island Rumours Band. According to Gilliom’s » Continued on page 17

he first time we see â&#x20AC;&#x153;Badâ&#x20AC;? Blake, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stumbling out of his beat up â&#x20AC;&#x2122;78 automobile, pouring out a plastic container he peed into during the long drive and grumbling that he has to perform a concert in a rundown bowling alley. Jeff Bridges plays Blake, a self destructive alcoholic whose once shining country music career is now a series of drunken episodes, awkward encounters with middle aged groupies and gigs in small towns with appreciative fans who seem to excuse or ignore the fact that the man on stage is clearly wasted.

From the haunting songs composed by T-Bone Burnett and Stephen Bruton and ably crooned by Bridges to the scene where Blake tip toes out of a one-night-standâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hotel room and is careful to grab the booze on the way out the door, the details always feel right. This is a lived-in movie, a refreshing break from fabricated Hollywood fluff.

I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got White Russian in your beard, Dude.

I love country music and am proud that my first concert was seeing Willie Nelson at the Oskie Rice Arena 20 years ago. But the great thing about this movie is that, even if you hate C&W tunes, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still be spellbound. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a series of cornball â&#x20AC;&#x153;maw dawg and maw truckâ&#x20AC;? songs interrupted by cowboy movie clichĂŠs and a gag-worthy love story. This is about how a washed up has-been gets one last shot at greatness and strives for both artistic and personal redemption. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like The Wrestler with honky-tonk bars and eightgallon hats instead of bloodstained rings and

Mickey Rourke.

Bridges vanishes for two hours into the body of Blake; this is another milestone Bridges performance in a career full of them. I frequently forgot that I was watching one of my favorite actors, who always underplays and goes for realism over showy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;tour de forceâ&#x20AC;? acting. Words like â&#x20AC;&#x153;toweringâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;powerhouseâ&#x20AC;? were made to describe this portrayal, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use pure, as Bridges never goes astray, even when the screenplay sometimes heads in obvious, familiar directions. There are a couple of

scenes that feel over-written (particularly a contrived bit involving a lost child in a crowded mall) but the characters never come across as artificial and the actors who play them never hit a false note.

Maggie Gyllenhaal shines in a vulnerable turn as a smitten reporter and, while it takes a minute to accept him as a country singer, Colin Farrell is first rate in a rare character turn, and is as good a singer as Bridges.

Robert Duvall, one of the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producers, has a small role as one of Blakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s few friends, a bartender who understands the man Blake was and is, and tries to steer him in the direction he so badly wants to go.

This may end up being Bridgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest performance, which is saying an awful lot.

In the past, his exceptional work has often carried a mediocre movie. But here, his craft as an actor compliments a hugely rewarding film that fades in and out like a crackling country song on an old radio. â&#x2013; To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/ďŹ lm31 SPECIAL BENEFIT CONCERT FOR MIKE PULLMAN

The looming aisles of Valentine’s Day cards tower on either side of the empty shopping cart, cutting deep shadows in the fluorescent atmosphere, and the infinite choices grow more threatening with each step. Valentine’s Day is like the high school prom—escape it free from pig’s blood, 10,000-calorie binges and with your relationship intact, and I will personally send you a “Congratulations!” card. Alright, enough pessimism for one holiday (just hope you don’t run into me on Christmas). Before the lights dim, read Da Kine Calendar and make reservations at one of the romantic restaurants offering special Valentine’s Day menus, music, drinks and dancing. At the MACC, Keali‘i Rachel will perform in the Castle Theater at 7:30pm, while at 6pm in the McCoy Theater, Smooth Jazz Nights XII will feature Peter White, Micheal Paulo, and Brian Simpson (242-SHOW or mauiarts.org). Another interesting idea is to play tourist for the evening, and sign up for a dinner cruise. The Pacific Whale Foundation (249-8811 or pacificwhale.org) has reasonably-priced offers, and the proceeds go to a good cause. As a final note, just remember to put aside all the red paper hearts, confetti, and creepily human-sized Teddy bears, and focus not on what you do for Valentine’s Day, but rather on who you do it with.

Saturday (February 20), Castle Theater, MACC, Kahului, $25-$35 PHOTO BY SHARON HUDSON-DEAN

Plein-air artists are going on tour this February, with performances spread out over the second half of the month. There is something lovely about watching talented people appreciate and re-create our island in their works, reminding us just how much we have to be grateful for.

Artists will be seen around the island at Lahaina Harbor, Kamehameha Iki Park, Kapalua Bay and many other locations. Watch the masters, who hail from Hawaii and the Mainland, at work, or join them at one of the gallery showings for free lectures, conversation, and the chance to enjoy and possibly purchase the works they’ll create throughout the week. Just like listening to great music can make many wander over to Bounty Music to pick out “Stairway to Heaven” for the umpteenth time on a pretty acoustic guitar, watching an artist in his or her element is a unique and inspiring experience. Check out the Da Kine Calendar to find the exact dates and times of the Maui Plein-Air Invitational Paint-Out events to find out when is the best time to take a few moments (or hours) to fall in love with Maui again. [SB]

These are the guys to take a euro-trip with. They radiate cool, un-calculated charisma, a vivid spiritstoking fire and love in the blood of their audiences. The members of Ozomatli are the kind of people who act like their own sun, effortlessly pulling others toward them with their gravitational force.

Jiro started out playing the tablas at a southern Indian vegetarian niche, Justin played in Disney’s Lion King Parade, Uli might be the mysterious man with trench coat and clarinet who you quietly scooted around on an LA side street, and Wil-dog used to play with Macy Gray. These disparate guys bonded together to start up the band for a labor protest movement. The band members are proud of their eclectic lives; for proof just read up on their adventures at ozomatli.com. Their music, meanwhile, is a strange yet endearing mix of hip-hop, funk and salsa that deserves its own genre. If this concert is anything like their last one, it’s sure to be spilling out over the top with dancing fun-seekers, so watch out for flailing arms from the lady spinning in circles in her floor-length white dress.

KAANAPALI BEACH HOTEL - 2525 Kaanapali

February 11, 2010 27

GIVING LIFE » Continued from page 13 and another woman who is there serving refreshments.

She’s a century donor (meaning she’s given blood more than 100 times), and insists I take a bowl of soup myself, before I ask her how she first became involved with the blood bank.

“My baby needed blood,” she says, of a hospital experience in December 1972.

“When was all pau, they neva like money, just wanted da blood back. So I gave blood, and that’s how it started.”

She continued giving—109 times—plus began volunteering by placing friendly reminder calls to donors about upcoming appointments, and taking up shifts attending the food and beverage canteen.

“I was [deferred] for a little while because of my eight-pound tumor,” she says, tapping her chest. My eyes widen, but she shakes her head. “No, no, no. It’s OK now. But it looked like a clamshell, in my chest. Eight pounds,” she taps again, grinning. “I’m just happy I can give something—volunteer, give blood—you know, whatever I can.”

I’m overwhelmed, feeling both unendingly grateful and a little embarrassed. I fight the urge to shout and hug each of them, to lift and kiss their punctured forearms, and thank them for their selflessness. All of them, my personal heroes and those two captivating words, embodied.

HOW CAN I DONATE?

Go to mauitime.com for complete weekly calendar listings, and find something to do today.

very two months, Blood Bank of Hawaii conducts a blood drive on Maui. Call 800-372-9966 to make an appointment. Though not mandatory, appointments are highly recommended to reduce your wait time and keep things flowing smoothly. The entire process takes about an hour, including paperwork, a mini physical and confidential consultation. The blood draw itself takes only five to eight minutes.

Relatively simple as the process may be, there are some important preparatory and follow-up care considerations that need be made by donors—particularly during the 24 hours surrounding donation. Fortunately, the three major recommendations are commonsense practices: hydration, proper diet and plenty of rest.

BLOOD BANK OF HAWAII Upcoming Maui drives: Feb. 16, 8:30am-5:30pm, Baldwin High auditorium, Kahului; Feb. 17 (7:30am5:30pm) & Feb. 18 (7am-5pm) at the Cameron Center, Kahului Info: 800-372-9966 or bbh.org

Hydrating with that other essential liquid is key. The Blood Bank of Hawaii sticks by the ol’ “8 by 8” rule—you know, eight, 8-ounce glasses of water per day. Doing that—plus staying away from caffeine, alcohol and

cigarettes, which are dehydrating—will replenish fluid volume loss within 24 hours, with proteins and plasma replenishing in 72 hours and red blood cells regenerating in six weeks. If chuggalugin’ that much wai—though you know you need to—seems daunting, no feel shame in dressing up the occasion with lemon or lime wedges, fruit cubes, cucumber slices or mint.

As part of the pre-examination, donors undergo a simple finger-prick test that instantaneously assesses iron levels in the donor’s blood. Too low a level, and donation may be deferred. So, first fueling with ironrich food is also fundamental. The blood bank, in a pamphlet promoting healthy hemoglobin, provides a table of about four dozen foods that help build iron, listing grinds like red meat, fish steaks, berries, watermelon, beets and brown rice.

And, according to the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Nutrient Database, nothing tops mollusks for iron-packing abilities (and I know opihi are limpets, but I’m tossing them in the same category…with shoyu and Tabasco). With an average of 23.77mg in a three-ounce serving, it far outstretches turkey (11.18mg per cup), chicken (10.21mg per cup), duck (5.97mg per half-duck), beef (0.69 - 5.24mg per cup) or fish (2.48mg per three-ounce serving).

To aid in the absorption of iron— especially “non-heme” iron, or iron that does not come from the hemoglobin and myoglobin in meat—pair iron-rich foods with foods high in Vitamin C like citrus juices and papaya. Non-heme iron accounts for the majority of regular intake, and undergoes a chemical reaction when paired with Vitamin C, as well as with other heme iron foods, that allow for absorption.

Rest, too, is imperative. After blood is drawn, it’s important to rest for a few minutes and to avoid strenuous physical activity for at least 24 hours. As for vices, apply the poolrule: if you must return to bad habits, wait at least 30 minutes after your donation.

Beyond bodily care, it’s imperative for a donor to know thyself. Stringent quality control rules are in place by the FDA and enacted by the exhaustive efforts of blood banks.

International travel, for example, can defer donation. Travel to South America or Africa will require a possible12-month wait from your return to the United States, and after travel to Europe (new FDA regulations introduced in 2002), deferment may be indefinite.

Questions about medical conditions and medications taken are addressed in the questionnaire and during the confidential consultation, but many general cans and no-cans are outlined between the Blood Bank of Hawaii, America’s Blood Centers and the FDA (see sidebar).

If you are deferred for any reason, there are many more ways to become involved and save lives. The most important is advocacy—encourage family and friends to donate the gift of life. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/feature31

sign.language.astrology@gmail.com AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) When approaching a situation thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similar to one youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced before, use what you learned, but be careful how you apply it. That means you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be trying to recreate the same scenariosâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;doing so would feel false and artiďŹ cial for all concerned. However, using what worked isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bad idea. Build on that. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way to call upon your history to help create something totally new. The more you can let go of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone before, without forgetting it, the better chance youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have of making the present moment richer and more thrilling than the past ever was.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) What a tease. You love to ďŹ&#x201A;irt or even put yourself in semi-compromising situations just to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll happen. While this is endlessly entertaining for you, it can be frustrating and confounding both for the objects of your attentions and for those who youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already close to. Keep yourself in check this week.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good fun for you just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all that amusing for some people you care about. You can ďŹ nd other venues and ways to be playful, right? Since this particular one mostly confuses and upsets people at the moment, I suggest you do so.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Frequently when people are insecure about something, they overcompensate. The cockiest ones are often those with the most intense self-doubts. (Similarly, the most homophobic are usually gays who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t admit it.) Is this whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening here? We can usually see through the façades people put up (especially from lameass closeted gay-bashers), and would respect authenticity a lot more than some false front. Be realâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; even if that means letting some of your less ďŹ&#x201A;attering facets show. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still shine more than any fakery.

Trust me on this one. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll like the real you a lot better than anything else you could show us.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Mahalo to our over 1,500 Facebook friends and counting...

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t assume you know where anyone else is coming from. You know how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d react to a given situation, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all too easy for you to assume that others would (or should) take similar action.

After all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best and most sensible thing to do, right? That may be so, but one of the beauties and failings of our existence is just how differently people can view and react to the same scenario.

Demanding behavior that exactly conforms to your standards would be foolish and somewhat tyrannical. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it. You may discover that someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seemingly preposterous approach actually works better than yours. Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that be something?

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Sometimes it seems like the pool of available potential partners is only knee-deep and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve caught and thrown back every ďŹ sh in there. That can be disheartening, I know, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t freak out about it. Things are always changing, and if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to you, you can change yourself, thereby making whole new worlds available to you. The easiest thing to alter is simply your location, but there are other things you can do, too. Sometimes all it takes is a minor gym habit or a new haircut. Feeling bored and frustrated?

Keep transforming your scenario until it becomes one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep you challenged and interested instead.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Vengeance may taste good on the tip of your tongue, but it has a bitter, burning aftertaste thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll linger for a long time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost never worth it. Letting things go and moving on may be less satisfying in the heat of the moment, but it feels better in the long run, and gives you the best chance of actually progressing and making something new happen. Opting for revenge has the opposite effect, unfortunately: nothing is more likely to make you repeat the same basic scenario, all over again. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trap yourself in some stupid cycle, especially when breaking free is as simple as three words: forgive and forget.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Whatever you want to do is ďŹ ne, of course (as if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d let anyone else dictate what you can or canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do).

However, your stubborn refusal to let anyone even appear to tell you what to do can sometimes make you ignore very good advice. Try to be more open-minded. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a week, a month, or a year, to ďŹ nally come around to what others had been saying all along. You need to be humble enough to realize when someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s telling you something purely for your own good, and take it on board. This week, when someone criticizes you, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t snap. Consider where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming from, and see if you can go there too.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) You suck at wasting time. Ask a Pisces what she did with her afternoon and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll respond, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, is it evening already? I really have no idea where the timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone!â&#x20AC;? Most Virgos, on the other hand, will have squeezed more into every minute than most people could squeeze into ten, and still be frustrated they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get more done. However, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always a good thing. This week is a good week for slowing down; efďŹ ciency isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t everything, you know. I know you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had much practice at taking things slow.

Perhaps call upon a Pisces for some help.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t please everybody. You know this, and yet you still have this natural tendency to try (and frequently drive yourself nuts or to misery in the process). Consciously resist that impulse this week, when it may be very powerful indeed. Rationally, you know that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make everyone happy and yet youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably be able to convince yourself that you can come closeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and consequently expend a lot of effort trying. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not the way to go this week. Make carefully-considered decisions, and then stick by them, knowing ahead of time that no matter what they are, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably upset someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the way it is.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Your Libran neighbors like to try to make everyone happyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;something you know better than to even attempt, of course. However, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re guilty of the opposite extreme: not even trying to make anyone happyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; even yourself! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably not conscious, but sometimes you seem to hit upon the exact choice that will make the fewest people happy. I hope that you can avoid such a scenario here. Perhaps thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no avoiding some misery, given the current situation, but your decisions could still make circumstances happier for at least a few of the people concerned, including yourself. That, in fact, seems like a worthy goal for this week.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) You hate game-playing more than most, but unfortunately, the human psyche seems to require a little bit of it sometimes. Being too available, ironically, makes most people less interested. The tiniest bit of playing hard to get, however, is like a spice to entice someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention. You can play that game, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you? After all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost not much of a gameâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you are pretty hard to pin down. Just a sprinkle of unavailability is all you need to attract that attention you want. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go overboard, though. A dash of cologne can be hotâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a splash is kind of disgusting.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Instead of focusing on what you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like, focus on what you do enjoy. What turns you off may be a shorter list than what turns you on, but still there are things that are especially good at pushing your buttons (in a good way). Mention those. We want to know precisely what makes you happyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;everything but x, y, and zâ&#x20AC;? makes it awfully hard to ďŹ gure out how to please you, even though you think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making it easy for us. Be speciďŹ c and focus on the positivesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do our part and deliver pretty much exactly what you ask for.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ă&#x2022;kolehao, the only traditional Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ian distilled spirit, is NOW AVAILABLE ONLY on Maui! Not produced in a long time--perhaps since WW II -- â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ă&#x2022;kolehao is now in fine liquor stores island wide.

Distilled from East Maui Ti root, it is a lengthy process that includes a bit of aging in American Oak casks.

Smooth, pleasant finish -- the perfect after dinner drink or holiday gift for that special someone that has everything! Haleakala Distillers reminds everyone to enjoy in moderation with aloha and, please, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink and drive!
