HE WENT TO PAIA MEDITATION TO FIND OUT WORDS BY TOMMY RUSSO ✚ PHOTOS BY SEAN MICHAEL HOWER

“ Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power.”

I

- Rene Descartes

'm not sure when it happened, but things have changed. I remember the days of my father coming home from work to read his afternoon paper. It was his chance to check in with the world, something he, like almost all Americans, did only once or twice daily. Flash forward a few decades and most people get their information from a wide array of sources in nearly constant, bite-sized chunks. The degree to which we're tethered to our communication devices, to our streams of information, seems absurd to some. Yet it's also extremely valuable.

I am what is often referred to as an “early adopter,” someone with a strong urge to learn about and utilize new technology. I'm an early adopter because I believe it helps me in my career, and because I like to toy with new gadgets and services. I run a media company, and all media runs through tech, even newspapers. Because of my job, my daily routine is always in flux but it has become increasingly intense as I latch on to more new technologies. The most recent ramp-up began five years ago when I got a first-generation iPod Nano. I quickly began listening to CNET.com's podcast, Buzz Out Loud (BOL), which discusses the tech stories of the day. From there I began following various blogs and news outlets, and things exploded. I started consuming voraciously, reading 600-800 tweets a day, listening to 20 hours of podcasts a week and building a list of online followers. I created a specific, handcurated list of people and tapped into their mind-streams. I had become fully plugged in.

Then the question became: how hard would it be to unplug?

W

hen I first heard about Paia Mediation, my initial thought was, Good, Paia sounds like a great place for something like that. I'd never really thought about mediation and assumed it was one of the many “new age” offerings that often cross my path but that I rarely engage. The only experience I'd had with meditation came from TV and film, which means I knew that you sit on the floor, legs crossed, completely still.

Frankly, this didn't sound interesting, especially given my kinetic personality.

Then a challenge flashed on one of the seven screens I check incessantly. “Can Tommy Russo Sit Still For Thirty Minutes and Not Think About Twitter?” read the e-mail subject line. The message was from Katie McMillan of Paia Meditation. She was inviting me to experience a session with Cheyenne Ehrlich, a meditation practitioner who leads monthly workshops titled “An Owner's Manual for Your Mind.” The challenge sounded fun, but what really sold me was Ehrlich himself. Though he's been involved with meditation his

Then the question became: how hard would it be to unplug? whole life—he was raised in a Tibetan Buddhist meditation center—he's also worked on successful Internet startups and has a degree in computer science from Vassar. I may not understand meditation, but clearly Ehrlich and I share some common interests. Maybe my fast-paced tech world and the world of meditation aren't so far apart after all.

So I decided to take the bait. What I found surprised me.

met with Ehrlich at his studio in Paia, above Simmer and Green Banana. After dispensing with the pleasantries, Ehrlich began to ask me simple questions to get me thinking about how the mind works. I didn't see any sort of pattern to his questions, and though I could tell he was leading me somewhere, I didn't know exactly where.

What Ehrlich was doing, I later realized, was guiding me through my own notions about the mind. Concepts like how thoughts suddenly appear, and how you can choose to react to them or let them pass.

In the end, Ehrlich helped me establish a simple framework for how my mind works; it really was akin to, as the workshop title suggests, an owner's manual for the most important piece of equipment any of us will ever use.

Once my manual had been created, Ehrlich explained some core ideas. Our eyes deceive us. (I loved this part, being a fan of both the philosopher Rene Descartes and the Matrix films.) Human vision can only detect a narrow band of light. Ehrlich calls this an “incomplete rendering” of reality. Then we have our thoughts, or “mental activity.” And finally, the part of

to the dozens of Web services and bits of communication I constantly process, all I could think about was sharing my startup idea and getting his feedback. He listened and coached and shared his thoughts. But what was most impressive was how he was able to help me put all that aside for a moment. I spent about a half-hour completely still. For me, that's a big deal.

I can't say I mastered the technique. In fact, I can say I didn't.

Meditation is often referred to as a practice, and it takes practice. But I definitely got close. I had several moments where I felt disengaged from my thoughts, and experienced flashes of thoughtlessness—not in the negative way we often use that word, but in a profoundly positive, calming sense.

I don't know how much I'll integrate meditation into my daily life. I certainly don't plan to unplug permanently—or even temporarily— from technology and information. But the experience was a good one; I've definitely felt better since my session with Ehrlich. I'd even go so far as to say that things have changed.

And this time, I am sure when it happened. ■

The Week in Review HYPER LOCAL Hey, remember Wailea 670? Well, it’s back (actually it never went away), though now it’s called Honua’ula. A draft EIS on the infamous South Maui development is out, and public comments are being accepted through June 7. You can read the document (fair warning: it gives War and Peace a run for its money, voluminouswise) at http://bit.ly/da7TN8 (URL shortened via bitly.com). For info on how and where to send comments, contact the County Planning Department (2707735).... Belated congrats to Maui author Wayne Moniz, who won the Honolulu Advertiser’s Readers’ Choice Award for Under Maui Skies, a collection of poems and short stories. We profiled Moniz, who

by a guy named Brian Camenker titled “What same-sex ‘marriage’ has done to Massachusetts.” Though littered with factual misrepresentations (nominal increases in funding for HIV/AIDS and domestic violence prevention are cited as proof of homosexual depravity) and bursting with thinly veiled bigotry, the piece is at least an attempt to justify the oft-repeated claim that allowing gay unions will somehow undermine “traditional” marriage and unravel the moral fabric of society. Here’s the dramatic conclusion: “Homosexual ‘marriage’ hangs over society like a hammer with the force of law. And it’s only just begun. It’s pretty clear that the homosexual movement’s obsession with marriage is not because

NOT LOCAL Sometimes it’s important to remember what we’re up against: Alabama, like Hawaii, is in the process of electing a new Governor.

The frontrunner in the Republican primary is Bradley Byrne. As reported in the Huffington Post, the True Republican PAC (man, I bet they throw a mean party) is running an attack ad against Byrne. But not your average, tax-and-spend-liberal attack ad, the kind Charles Djou is running against Ed Case and Colleen

In the book, I write about seven locales, but there’s no Hana story, for example. There are so many great stories waiting to be told.”...

LOCAL As the civil union bill awaits Gov. Lingle’s signature (this week she told the AP her decision is “up in the air”), those for and against are lobbying hard. On the “against” side is the Hawaii Family Forum (HFF) (“family” being, as ever, code for “Christian”). On its Web site, HFF links to an October 2008 article

Research shows that homosexual relationships are fundamentally dysfunctional on many levels, and ‘marriage’ as we know it isn’t something they can achieve, or even desire [Huh?!]....

Instead, I found a different Wallace quote.

No, this is an extra-crispy, Bible Belt special. “On the school board, Byrne supported teaching evolution,” says the voiceover guy, who sounds suspiciously like Barney Fife. “[He] said evolution best explains the origin of life. He even recently said the Bible is only partially true.” Here’s Byrne’s response, posted May 4 on his campaign Web site: “As a Christian and as a public servant, I have never wavered in my belief that this world and everything in it is a masterpiece created by the hands of God. As a member of the Alabama Board of Education, the record clearly shows that I fought to ensure the teaching of creationism in our school text books.” And here I was worried there might actually be a rational Republican in Alalbama. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/coconut47

Spill Baby Spill The time for locally based alternative energy is now

T

he BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill that killed 11 and threatens to annihilate the coastal economy of the southeastern U.S. is a good reason to question authority.

It has caused me to abandon my faith in our government’s ability to regulate Big Oil and lead us to an alternative energy future. I’ve been disheartened by the web of legislative loopholes and industry deregulation that opened the door to potentially criminal negligence by the oil industry.

to BP and other fossil-fuel companies and demand they be deprived of their privileged place at the bargaining table, and be stripped of the billions in subsidies and tax relief that keeps the playing field tilted precipitously against alternative energy. Instead of subsidizing oil production, we should tax every barrel to recoup the costs of stationing U.S. troops on foreign soil to protect private oil derricks, pipelines and tankers.

It is also time for people to work locally to transition our towns, cities, counties and

The Gulf disaster has ripped the filthy bandage off the festering wound of our oil-based economy.

As oil continues to hemorrhage into the Gulf, it is now up to individuals, grassroots organizations and communities to demand that the U.S. government criminally prosecute those responsible for this disaster and amend the policies that have resulted in unregulated, out of control coastal drilling. It’s also time to make this a major pocketbook issue, a moment when all of us divest ourselves of oil stocks.

Let’s be clear: BP and other companies drilling in the Gulf (and determined to drill on all of our coasts), are not drilling because it will add a few months of fuel to our current supply, but for the bloated profits those companies will earn—a significant amount of which end up in the election coffers of both parties.

Yes, it’s been a great time for the oil companies. BP alone made almost $6 billion in profits in the first quarter of this year. And to protect those profits, BP spent $16 million in 2009 to influence Capitol Hill lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, according to Newsweek.

But now the Gulf disaster has ripped the filthy bandage off the festering wound of our oil-based economy, exposing it for what it truly is—bullying by a corrupt industry.

This spill was easily preventable had government done its job, and had BP been a responsible company and put reasonable safeguards in place, such as a $500,000 emergency remote-control shutoff switch that two other oil producing nations, Norway and Brazil, require, as reported in The Wall Street Journal. Instead, BP cut corners to save a buck and is now doing untold, perhaps irreparable harm to the environment, our economy and life on the battered Gulf coast.

It is now up to ordinary people to do what government has failed to do—to stand up

states away from an oil-based economy to a “restorative economy,” an economy dedicated to core values of human and environmental health and safety, cultural and biological diversity and care for commonly held natural resources.

A restorative economy that embraces alternative locally based energy is less extractive and less violent. One need only look at the utter lack of danger presented by a wind farm or solar array—resources readily available in Hawaii and many other places— compared to the horrific events in the Gulf, to see the difference.

As importantly, we must place blame for this disaster squarely on the shoulders of Big Oil. It is not enough to parade the BP board of directors through a congressional hearing. As an environmental activist who has gathered the corpses of oiled birds and seen firsthand ecosystems wrecked by oil company negligence, I wonder if it isn't high time we paraded those executives in a “perp walk” before the blinding lights of TV news cameras.

We must put our elected and appointed officials on notice that this is the beginning of the end for fossil fuels. It is time we rejected the morally bankrupt arguments of an industry that is destroying not

only our environmental and economic future, but the democratic process.

Vote with your wallet and purse. Sell mutual funds that include fossil fuel securities. Tell charitable foundations, your churches and higher education institutions to divest portfolios of oil stocks. Invest in alternative energy companies instead. This amounts to an investment in yourself, your community, the environment and your children’s future. ■

NIPPLE EFFECT In mid-April, senior Iranian cleric Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi issued a warning that recent earthquakes in Haiti, Chile and elsewhere were caused by women’s loose sex and immodest dress. Immediately, Jennifer McCreight responded on Facebook by urging women worldwide to dress provocatively on April 26 to create “boobquake� and test the cleric’s theory, and at least 90,000 women promised they would reveal serious cleavage on that date. On April 26, following a several-day drought of earthquakes, a Richter-scale-measuring 6.5 quake hit just south of Taiwan. (Slight advantage to the ayatollah, since a Purdue University seismologist observed that a 6.5 quake was not uncommon for that region.)

SITCOMMUNISM One of the world’s longest-running TV comedy shows (according to an April Reuters dispatch from South Korea) is the weekly North Korean production It’s So Funny, with its undynamic format of a man and a woman in military uniforms talking to each other (though they sometimes sing and dance). The latest episode “extolled the virtue of beans,� wrote the Reuters stringer, “while avoiding any flatulence humor.� “If we soldiers see beans, we become happy,� said the man, leading both hosts to laugh.

According to Reuters, “The two talk about how bean-fed North Korean soldiers were able to fight off U.S. imperialist troops during the Korean war.�

OILING HIS PLOT John Ridgeway, 45, filed a federal falseimprisonment lawsuit in March based on his 2005 trial over a traffic charge.

According to a report in Michigan’s Bay City Times, just before the jury returned with a verdict, Ridgeway opened a vial of oil, rubbed some on his fingers and then around the defense table, and he later shook hands with court personnel.

Ridgeway was arrested when the prosecutor, a bailiff and the ticketing police officer became ill. Ridgeway explained that the virgin olive oil had been blessed by a Colorado pastor, specifically to “cast evil� from government facilities.

SPEAK NO EVIL In March, leaders of the St. John’s Lutheran Church in Baraboo, Wisconsin, voted to fire the principal of its elementary and middle school because of his “question[ing] the church’s teachings.� The church had held a contentious meeting of members on March 21, but few spoke out for the principal, largely because female members were banned from speaking at all. (According to the Baraboo News Republic, women cannot vote on the church’s business but generally were allowed to talk at meetings until now.)

JUST SAY YES Under Britain’s Department of Health guidelines, prisoners about to be released,

and who had previously taken drugs but cured their addiction while incarcerated, are being purposely re-addicted by wardens, using methadone. According to researchers, the former addicts will then be less likely to overdose when they get back on the street.

Reportedly, more than 460 prisoners have thus been “retoxified� in the last five years.

ehbrah@mauitime.com Back in the day we were both naked innocent hippies living off the land in Hana. You’ve since made it clear you aren’t a friend, but I remained polite to you, as I live by “The Four Agreements,â€? one of which is “don’t take things personally.â€? Yesterday I greeted you in Mana Foods (although your demeanor indicates I’m not worth speaking to) and you continued shopping—until you realized I could have contact info you wanted for a mutual girlfriend. You slithered over and asked for it. My cell was in the car so I shared my home number, on which you left a message. On the way home I reected on the many times you’ve treated me with insensitivity and coolness, asking about my ex and other people, but never about my life. I realized I’d had enough. It brought a smile to my face to delete your message without listening to it, just in case you were wondering why I didn’t respond. Why be nice to an energy vampire? Adios! â–

FATHER OF THE YEAR Judge Robert Benjamin of the Hobart branch of Australia’s Family Courts ruled in a March custody case that sisters, aged 10 and 8, must spend weekends with their father, even though he is a convicted sex offender with a child-porn habit. The judge attached some restrictions: Dad must install a lock on the girls’ bedroom door that he cannot control and, if the girls stay overnight, the father must have “an adult friend� spend the night, too, so that Dad will be less likely to offend.

GETTING A LITTLE TOO INTO CHARACTER Ricardo West, 22, who performs as a Michael Jackson impersonator, was arrested in April in Allen Park, Mich., on 12 counts of sexual misconduct with an 11-year-old boy.

SICK AND SICKER A 27-year-old man reported to Oklahoma City police in April that he was sexually assaulted by a man who had perhaps misunderstood the first man’s intentions.

According to a story in The Oklahoman, the first man had fully disclosed his “fetish for flatulence,� but when the two met, the hijinks were interrupted by the second man’s tying up and sexually assaulting the first man. The first man said he wanted only for the second man to “fart for me.� The first man’s name was not disclosed because he claimed to be the victim of a sex crime.

INSULT TO INJURY The Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, famously pickets targets around the country with explicit anti-homosexuality signs and recently chose as venues the funerals of deceased U.S. soldiers and Marines (calling such deaths God’s punishment for America’s acceptance of gays and lesbians). One grieving Marine family in York, Pennsylvania, filed a lawsuit accusing Westboro of “intentional infliction of emotional distress� by picketing their son’s 2006 funeral, but a U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in March that such protests are protected by the First Amendment. Piling on, the Court added that the grieving family must also pay Westboro $16,510 to cover its costs in having to defend the lawsuit. ■To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/notw47

“Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power.”

- Rene Descartes

I

'm not sure when it happened, but things have changed. I remember the days of my father coming home from work to read his afternoon paper. It was his chance to check in with the world, something he, like almost all Americans, did only once or twice daily. Flash forward a few decades and most people get their information from a wide array of sources in nearly constant, bite-sized chunks. The degree to which we're tethered to our communication devices, to our streams of information, seems absurd to some. Yet it's also extremely valuable.

I am what is often referred to as an “early adopter,” someone with a strong urge to learn about and utilize new technology. I'm an early adopter because I believe it helps me in my career, and because I like to toy with new gadgets and services. I run a media company, and all media runs through tech, even newspapers. Because of my job, my daily routine is always in flux but it has become increasingly intense as I latch on to more new technologies. The most recent ramp-up began five years ago when I got a first-generation iPod Nano. I quickly began listening to CNET.com's podcast, Buzz Out Loud (BOL), which discusses the tech stories of the day. From there I began following various blogs and news outlets, and things exploded. I started consuming voraciously, reading 600-800 tweets a day, listening to 20 hours of podcasts a week and building a list of online followers. I created a specific, handcurated list of people and tapped into their mind-streams. I had become fully plugged in.

Then the question became: how hard would it be to unplug?

W

hen I first heard about Paia Mediation, my initial thought was, Good, Paia sounds like a great place for something like that. I'd never really thought about mediation and assumed it was one of the many “new age” offerings that often cross my path but that I rarely engage. The only experience I'd had with meditation came from TV and film, which means I knew that you sit on the floor, legs crossed, completely still.

Frankly, this didn't sound interesting, especially given my kinetic personality.

Then a challenge flashed on one of the seven screens I check incessantly. “Can Tommy Russo Sit Still For Thirty Minutes and Not Think About Twitter?” read the e-mail subject line. The message was from Katie McMillan of Paia Meditation. She was inviting me to experience a session with Cheyenne Erlich, a meditation practitioner who leads monthly workshops titled “An Owner's Manual for Your Mind.” The challenge sounded fun, but what really sold me was Erlich himself. Though he's been involved with meditation his

Then the question became: how hard would it be to unplug? whole life—he was raised in a Tibetan Buddhist meditation center—he's also worked on successful Internet startups and has a degree in computer science from Vassar. I may not understand meditation, but clearly Erlich and I share some common interests. Maybe my fast-paced tech world and the world of meditation aren't so far apart after all.

So I decided to take the bait. What I found surprised me.

met with Erlich at his studio in Paia, above Simmer and Green Banana. After dispensing with the pleasantries, Erlich began to ask me simple questions to get me thinking about how the mind works. I didn't see any sort of pattern to his questions, and though I could tell he was leading me somewhere, I didn't know exactly where.

What Erlich was doing, I later realized, was guiding me through my own notions about the mind. Concepts like how thoughts suddenly appear, and how you can choose to react to them or let them pass. In the end, Erlich helped me establish a simple framework for how my mind works; it really was akin to, as the workshop title suggests, an owner's manual for the most important piece of equipment any of us will ever use.

Once my manual had been created, Erlich explained some core ideas. Our eyes deceive us. (I loved this part, being a fan of both the philosopher Rene Descartes and the Matrix films.) Human vision can only detect a narrow band of light. Erlich calls this an “incomplete rendering” of reality.

Then we have our thoughts, or “mental activity.” And finally, the part of the mind

Original Zin Unique American wine pours into Maui Culinary Academy

infindel Advocates and Producers (ZAP) first caught my eye (and pen) when Maui's Surfing Goat Dairy got invited to the annual Zinfandel Festival in San Francisco in January. Maui Chef Beverly Gannon was the featured celebrity chef at the festival, and she says it gave her, “The chance to expand the boundaries of Hawaiian cuisine with the pairing of world-class Zinfandels.”

I had the opportunity to sit down with John Hanhauser, who serves on the ZAP board, and Chris Speere of the Maui Culinary Academy. We met outside the lobby of Class Act, the academy's fine-dining establishment that occupies the second floor.

Downstairs, the lunchtime hustle and bustle of the college's food court—also run by the

outreach, Zin's popularity and trendiness is expanding. That's a major part of ZAP's strategy: to target young chef's and educate them early about the wine. Zinfindel grapes are only grown in the United States; it's our unique grape. Formerly, Zin had been pegged as a red that paired with meats, but after Bev Gannon's island cuisine approach at the festival in January, that stereotype has been

The folks at ZAP apparently have a fondness for Maui, because now they're sponsoring a wine-tasting event and fundraiser, the likes of which we've never seen on Maui. They've teamed up with Maui Culinary Academy to offer a fabulous night of Zinfindel tasting on May 21, with food pairings designed by student chef teams.

The twist is that it's also a competition for the students; attendees get to vote for the winner. Tickets are $55 in advance ($45 for ZAP members) and $65 at the door. The students are challenged with expanding their knowlege of wine pairing while staying within a set budget. Their intriguing creations include Hoisin short ribs with sweet potato ravioli, Maui Cattle company beef sliders with kim-chee reduction and phyllo-wrapped herbed goat cheese with

Speere says the facility cost $17 million to build, and features a top-of-the-line bake shop in addition to the restaurant, the skills kitchen and food court, all operated by the student chefs. That's one of the reasons the academy has been designated by ZAP to be highlighted as a beneficiary and supported through this new fundraising event. The school's Pa'ina food court will be transformed into the tasting room and the student chefs will be serving their creations while the winemakers will be pouring their wine. Meanwhile, the bake shop will be baking fresh bread, led by the San Francisco Baking Institute's bread class.

Water You Waiting For? OluKai Hoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;olauleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;a Saturday-Sunday (May 15-16) at Kanaha Beach Park olukai.com/olukaihoolaulea

D

o you enjoy the beach? Fun games? Good music and quality entertainment? Ono kine grinds?

Breathing? Would you like the chance to win $1,500? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should definitely check out the OluKai Ho'olaule'a. But, before you do, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to drop some knowledge on you, so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like Kimbo Slice at his last UFC fight. Trust me; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll thank me the next time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at bar trivia night. Take notes, everybody.

SUP=stand-up paddleboard.

OC1=outrigger canoe, one person. Maliko Downwinder=a legendary eight-mile stretch of water from Maliko Gulch to the Lae â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ula O Kai Canoe Club at Kanaha Beach Park. Everyone got that? Good. Time to use them in a sentence. This weekend, OluKai will be holding its annual Ho'olaule'a, with

an eight-mile downwinder for both SUP and OC1. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event was a big success, and this year promises to be even better.

For â&#x20AC;&#x153;eliteâ&#x20AC;? (experienced watermen/ women) competitors, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance at $1,500 in either the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s categories for SUP or OC1. For recreational watermen/women, there are fabulous gifts, trophies and, of course, bragging rights. But hey, a day of fun in the sun means everyone wins. For serious. If you decide not to compete, but are a waterperson hopeful, you can be treated to a ride in Team OluKaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sailing canoe, Kamakakoa.

Even people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get wet should check this thing out (but really, why wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you want to get wet?). Maui Cultural Lands will be hosting free Hawaiian games; maybe you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to SUP or OC1, but you can dominate at Ulu Maika (lawn bowling), Moa Pahe'e (dart sliding), Konane (checkers) or Hukihuki (tug-of-war). Not only will you be spending quality time with the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ohana, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be celebrating rich Hawaiian culture (and maybe kicking some butt while

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it). Of course, it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a real celebration without food. Event-goers will be treated to an authentic luau dinner, complete with live hula performances from Hula Halau Alapa'i I Maluuluolele.

If feast, family and fun arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to get you out to the Ho'olaule'a, maybe the soulful strummings of John Cruz are.

Award-winning (including several Na Hoku awards and a Grammy) Cruz was named Hawaii Magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Singer Songwriter in 2008. This is a distinction Cruz deserves for his warm style, which incorporates multiple genres ranging from slack-key and folk to blues and reggae. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of music you can eat and drink and sing to all dayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; kanikapila in the old Hawaiian way. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect music to accompany these weekend-long festivities.

While youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re enjoying yourself, you can bask in the knowledge that part of the proceeds benefit the OluKai â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ohana Giveback Program, whose beneficiaries include the Hawaiian Junior Lifeguard Program and Maui Cultural Lands. Think of it as inspiring and

Event has something for everyone, even weirdos who don't like to get wet

encouraging the new wave of responsible, Hawaii-minded waterpeople.

Whether or not you'll be competing, the OluKai Ho'olaule'a is worth showing up for.

Because no matter what, on Maui, we do it island-style. Even if that means racing from the mountain to the ocean, from the windward to the leeward side and, yes, getting wet. â&#x2013; To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/a&e47

Do you like lagers or ales?

Craft over import? Caskconditioned vs. bright beer?

No matter if you can answer these questions or not. Join us at the Maui Brewers Festival on Saturday, May 15 to learn about the great wave surging across America: craft beer.

Maui Arts & Cultural Center welcomes 26 breweries from Hawai‘i, California, Oregon and beyond to share their artistry and industry knowledge with our community and supporters.

Here’s your chance to try beers that can’t be found in Hawai‘i and sample new products from familiar breweries.

In between sips of suds, be sure to get your fill of ‘ono pupu and delightful desserts fresh from the kitchens of 16 Maui restaurants and caterers, including our neighborhood Maui Culinary Academy. Maui Brewing Co. root beer and filtered water are also available. If you’re a designated driver, feel free to partake of as much grinds and soft drinks as you can handle.

Why a brew fest? Maui Arts & Cultural Center developed the festival to introduce the MACC to a new audience each year and

E MALAMA PONO GREENING OF THE MACC Our Events Lawn, Amphitheater and Pa Hula aren’t the only things that are “green” at the MACC. For the past few years, we’ve been an active part of the quiet greening of entertainment venues nationwide, helping to reduce our carbon footprint.

About 90 percent of the cups, plates, utensils, napkins, containers and plastic bags used

by Maui Arts & Cultural Center are biodegradable, as they’re made from corn starch, potatoes, sugar and other plant-derived

to help raise funds for our many educational and cultural arts programs. Net proceeds from this event will benefit Maui’s students, seniors and the entire community - your gift of attending the festival will keep on giving.

We invite you to enjoy the day, learn something that you can share, and please say “mahalo” to our generous sponsors, Maui Brewing Co., Paradise Beverages, Maui Time and Pacific Radio Group.

Beer is best shared with friends.

material. We’re using filtered water in cups at the festival, as opposed to bottled water.

So when you cruise the arena with your food plates and utensils, please make sure you place them in the “trash” marked can; when you’re finished with plastic cups and bottles, toss them in the bright blue containers with the recycle sign, marked “plastic only.” Use the same commemorative pilsner cup for all your beer sampling and take it home to use again!

Celebrate responsibly in all ways.

Mackie Mac of DaJam 98.3 FM! LOUIS & THE MEGAS Formed in 1999 as Gomega, Louis (Kanoa Kukaua) and The Megas have strived to change the music scene on Maui. Band members include Kanoa Kukaua, lead singer and guitarist; Micheal Burke, drummer, and Frankie Ah Puck, bass player.

Ipo Kahele is the band’s manager.

Kanoa and Ipo founded Gomega with the goal of exposing Maui audiences to jazz, country, hip-hop, metal, punk and more than just island contemporary, jawaiian and reggae.

Kanoa writes original songs for the group, and has released his solo CD, “Makin Thru the Breakthru.” In 2008, the band (under the name Gomega) was honored as Maui’s “Best Band” by readers of Maui Time Weekly.

KANEKOA This six-piece jam band is a high energy, ‘ukulele-powered experience of sound and island culture from Maui’s northshore. Playing together since 1999, Kanekoa melds elements of Hawaiian, rock, roots reggae, folk, blues and improvisation into a truly one-of-a-kind sound.

Lead singer, principal lyricist and rhythm ‘ukulele player, Kaulana

Kanekoa, provides the band’s thought-provoking melodies and lyrics, drawn from the Hawai’i of old, influenced by the diversity of the larger world and confronting the struggles of today. On lead ‘ukulele and backing vocals is Vince Esquire, considered by many to be one of the next generation’s masters of the instrument. As an accomplished blues and soul guitarist, Vince has shared the stage with the likes of Willie Nelson, Greg Allman, Mick Fleetwood, Willie K and Los Lonely Boys, but on ‘ukulele he’s in a class all his own.

On fretless bass guitar at the crossroads of rhythm and harmony is Shawn Michael. A wizard at shaping low end roots grooves, thunderous rock backbones and subtle harmonics, Shawn is a key ingredient in Kanekoa’s ability to span musical genres. For its rhythmic foundations, Kanekoa features a drums and percussion section with the talents of Brett Kealoha Nelson (percussion/sounds), Clive Tucker (drum kit) and Travis Rice (drum kit/percussion). Because of the range of its drummers, Kanekoa’s rhythm can morph seamlessly from a rock and jam groove, across roots reggae and flow into Hawaiian, folk and blues vibes.

Kanekoa recently opened for Aerosmith’s last concert, which happened on Maui. Their highly anticipated EP, “Kingdom in a Country” is expected to release this summer.

merged from six talented individuals into one dynamic group. At first glance, you might think these guys run security, but let them vocally paint you a song and it will be a work of art you’ll always remember. Each band member is originally from different villages in Tutuila, American Samoa, and they all hail from musical families. They found each other playing music for various lu‘au shows across the state.

On lead guitar and vocals is John Akapo, aka Big John, whose sultry

southern licks help set the band apart from the rest. Daniel Hunkin, aka D, plays acoustic guitar and sings backing vocals. On bass and vocals is Tavita Suani, aka Super Dave. Fa‘amau Liu, Jr. aka Joon Bug, keeps the band together on drums and keyboards. Hip-hop vocalist and lyricist is Duke Elisaia, aka Dino Life, and last but not least is soulman singer, Luteru Te‘o, aka Lu Dawg.

Off Tomorrow evokes a feel-good state of mind, and they’ll definitely have you wishing you were ... off tomorrow!

Film Critique

Rusty ‘Iron’ Superhero clunker needs to go back to the shop Iron Man 2

★★★★★

Rated PG13/125 min.

S

equelitus: When a beloved original film is tarnished by a bloated follow-up that tries to top its predecessor by pummeling the audience with spectacle and ‘splosions.

Comic book movies walk a tightrope between fun fantasy and overwrought schlock. They're also ready-made for sequels (and prequels), with new villains and origin-stories waiting to be unveiled. This is a dangerous, often lethal, combination, and even the good comic book movies fall victim. I thought The Dark Knight was wonderful when the focus was on Heath Ledger’s Joker but a mess when it tried to juggle multiple subplots and messy, drawnout action sequences.

The original Iron Man was on my list of the best films of 2008 and a great example of what the genre can accomplish when character and story development are as

strong as the action. Director Jon Favreau’s film provided the brilliant Robert Downey Jr. with a better-late-than-never career boost and is up there with the original Superman and Tim Burton’s Batman as the finest films of their type. Iron Man 2, meanwhile, is shaky from the start. Where the original had an easy-going vibe and allowed the narrative to build gradually, the sequel has a story that is cluttered, frantic and noisy.

Billionaire inventor Tony Stark is giving in to his worst, most self-destructive tendencies and embracing wealth and narcissism, which gets in the way of his being a beloved, now out-of-the-closet superhero.

There are promising scenes of Stark going over to the dark side that mirror Downey’s own troubled past, but they come and go without any build-up or payoff. The same goes for the other characters and subplots: Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pepper Pots, a major asset in the original, is now demoted to token damsel in distress; Mickey Rourke isn’t given enough to do in the juicy role of a Russian supervillain; Sam Rockwell does way too

No, no...you look good in silver.

much as a smarmy corporate creep; and Samuel L. Jackson’s scenes don’t crackle like they should. Scarlett Johansson’s turn as Black Widow sums up what’s wrong with the movie: she looks great and has an intriguing role, but the movie never gives us time to know her; she comes across as a gratuitous guest star instead of a supporting player.

Downey Jr., as usual, never hits a false note and the big action sequences are fun, punctuated by a few fall-

down funny one-liners. In the end, though, it's clear the filmmakers are less interested in telling a compelling story than setting up future Marvel Comics franchises; instead of thoughtful dialogue, we get a lot of exposition for forthcoming summer blockbusters.

It's like the previews never ended. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/film47

This Week's Picks Imagine Me and Brew

Saturday (May 15), noon-4pm, Kihei Charter School

Saturday (May 15), 3-7pm, Maui Arts & Cultural Center, Kahului

Last year, MauiTime contributor Rob Parsons wrote a column titled “Eleven Ideas For Fixing Agriculture on Maui.” Like a lot of Parsons's columns, it was a call to action.

Now, the call is being answered. South Maui Sustainability, West Maui Sustainability and Upcountry Sustainability (sensing a trend?) are hosting an event called Maui Growing Local; among the guest speakers will be Parsons, discussing his eleven ideas and, more importantly, ways to implement them.

Gerry Ross of Kupa'a Farms will also be on hand along with, presumably, numerous other eco heavyweights (this is your chance to rub green elbows, people). Grinds will be provided via a “locavore-style” potluck, meaning attendees are encouraged to bring dishes featuring mostly local ingredients.

“This event is gonna rock the ag community to their roots,” wrote Maury King of South Maui Sustainability in an e-mail. “They will be udderly amazed. They’ll be so hempy to see us.” If the awesomeness of his puns are any indication, you don't want to miss out.

The first smooth, foamy, chilled sip of liquid courage is engineered through a lengthy process of malting, milling, mashing, brewing, cooling, fermentation, maturation and finishing. Then, of course, comes the final, and most important step of beer design: drinking. Drinking alone is boring (and selfish), so the MACC has generously found a way to unite beer-drinkers from around the island with their second annual Maui Brewers Festival. After all, wine snobs are notorious for their “wine tastings,” where they engage in the blasphemous practice of spitting out alcohol after swirling it in their mouths for mere seconds. If any alcohol is coming out of your mouth at this party, it better not be until the end of the night, and please not in my car, on my clothes, or on any unfortunate fellow’s shoes. (Though if a decision must be made, choose the shoes.) Even more breweries than last year will be featured (foreign, domestic and local): Ballast Point Brewing Co., Boston Beer Company, Caldera Brewing Company, Coronado Brewing Company, Deschutes Brewery, Hawaii Nui Brewing and Maui Brewing Co., to name just a few. 808 Deli, Flatbread & Co., Maui Brewing Co. Restaurant, Maui Tacos, Three’s Catering, Cake Bakery and Zia Maria Gelato will provide the pupus. For only $45, you get beer samples, a commemorative sampler cup and ono food. For $75, be a “happy hour” guest, which results in reserved parking and early entry at 2pm for a private sampling with the brew masters. 21 and over only. 242-show, mauiarts.org [Sierra Brown]

Shake, Battle & Roll

According to Jim

Saturday (May 15), 7pm at Mulligans on the Blue, Wailea, $10

Friday (May 21), 7pm, MACC, Kahului, $35-$45 Jim Gaffigan is the girl-next-door of men.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much more interesting (and funny) than an average person, but still gives off signals that it would be OK to approach him in the dairy aisle of the Piggly Wiggly and strike up a conversation. In case you decide to do just that while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wandering about after his gig at the MACC, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fill you in on his favorite topics: bacon, Hot Pockets and Jesus. Gaffigan plays a beer-drinking, romantically-inept man (alright, so that describes basically all men and the majority of women) on My Boys, a lonely, funny waiter on That 70s Show and one of Mirandaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s succession of emotionally-abused boyfriends on Sex and the City. He also is a late-night comedy-show vet, making the rounds on Conan, Letterman, etc., all while maintaining steady relationships with Comedy Central, CBS and Fox. Some insider info has warned us that the seats are going fast, so if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking about attending, you should probably nab tickets now. 244-show, mauiarts.org [SB]

The Throwdowns arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just growing upâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dragging the rest of us with them. Instead of getting bored with the Valley Isleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bite-sized music scene and moving to some smoggy place like LA, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re firing up Mauiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical community and demanding that bands play out of their comfort zones. A little competition goes a long way toward waking up talent. That's right, we're talking about a good oldfashioned Battle of the Bands. Out of dozens of entries, a handful were selected to play two original songs each.

Horoscopes

sign.language.astrology@gmail.com TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Jogging, apparently, is bad exercise. The human form is made for walking and sprinting; this in-between activity is actually hard on your joints and muscles and offers little to no additional benefit in comparison with either of those activities. Heeding what we’re built for strikes me as a pretty good idea, especially when the alternative can really mess you up. You know what your innate tendencies are. While it’s good to stretch your boundaries and capabilities, this week isn’t the best time for it. Stick to what comes easily and naturally, so you don’t overextend or hurt yourself.

Quizunderstood answers 1. Mister Splashy Pants

SIGN

AGE LANGU

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Ignore the menu. Abundant options will just confuse you. Close your eyes and contemplate what you really want (be grounded enough to be realistic, though). It may not explicitly be on offer—but chances are, if you ask for it, it’s available. This week it’s all about being crystal clear about what you want, and calmly, politely, and directly asking for it. Of course if you’re uncomfortable stepping outside the box, or lack imagination, you can go with the confusing and disappointing menu, but when a custom-built reality is there for the taking, I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t.

2. Hard Ticket to Hawaii 3. Six, two 4. Zero

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Everyone loves ladybugs. Something about them is cute; they don’t bite or sting, and they eat garden pests. Can you be a ladybug this week? Even though they’re essentially the same as some insects people fear or revile, they somehow have a way of endearing themselves and being regarded as harmless or helpful. You should strive to do the same. It’s all about presentation. You don’t need to change anything essential about who you are—just spin it a different way than you have so far. If you succeed, you’ll find more doors and hearts open for you this week than you have in ages.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Work with your own impulses rather than against them. If you know you’re a little on the lazy side (as most Leos are), or a bit vain (also frequently a Leo trait), use those tendencies to your own advantage.

Laziness can lead to efficiency and intelligent redesign. Vanity can be a motivation too—to work hard enough to be able to afford nice clothes, or simply a kick in the butt to keep going to the gym. When the wind is blowing in the wrong direction, a skilled sailor can angle the sails to get where she wants to go.

You can too. Harness the forces already at work within you to take you in whatever direction you choose.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) You have a tendency to overthink and overcomplicate things sometimes. While you’re gifted with excellent foresight, sometimes you end up planning for outcomes that simply never happen. This is only really a problem when your plans require the cooperation and effort of others, who’ll resent you for making them work for something that’s unlikely to happen. Imagine the bitterness if it really doesn’t go down that way! Cool it. You don’t need to prepare for every possible result. Remember that half the time something you never thought of happens, anyway. This week, practice rolling with the punches, instead of trying to anticipate every possible blow.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) If you’re constantly watching the clock at work, and counting the minutes until you’re “free,” you’re at the wrong job. But you knew that. Everyone has crappy jobs while they strive to get where they want to be; the problem is many people never actually get there, and end up stuck in jobs that suck (for them). Don’t be one of those. Be realistic about what kind of work would make you happy (“rock star or bust” isn’t a great attitude unless you’re actually talented, hot, and persistent enough to make it in that biz). Then make it your life’s work to find and secure your life’s work—starting this week.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Inhibitions are lame. While it’s acceptable to use alcohol or a nervous breakdown as an excuse to do what you really want to do, it’s also a bit lame. Why not just own your desires and embrace them even when you’re not trashed or at your wit’s end? That’s this week’s goal. Stop developing or requiring excuses to express your true self, and start just doing that, without crutches or shields. You are who you are, and want what you want, and that must be okay. You’ve had plenty of practice expressing it while inebriated or stressed—now try doing it when you’re in full command of your own power.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Before you ran away, things were going pretty well—which is probably why you fled. Sometimes the idea of getting stuck in one place is pretty scary to you, isn’t it? However, do try to keep in mind that it seems to work for a lot of people. Eventually, it’ll work for you, too. Remember, you’re in charge of the situation, and you can mold it to suit you. It can be constructed with built-in windows for whatever kind of freedom you need. And once you’ve shaped it the way you like it, being “stuck” there will hardly feel like being trapped. It ought to (and will) feel just like being exactly where you want to be.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) It’s easy to feel contempt for those humans who aren’t as rich, present, or self-actualized as you are— but why not allow yourself to experience compassion instead? After all, you’re hardly perfect; there are certainly people who are further along whatever spectrum you value. Hopefully, they’re willing to treat you to patience and understanding as you find your way—you should do the same for those who are still working on finding their own paths. This week, ditch scorn and condescension in favor of kindness and empathy. You’ll find not only does it inspire all around you—it elevates you as well.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Your job is just to make sure everything’s as fair as it can be. This is sometimes more an art than a science, and it can’t always be perfect. That’s why you’re exactly the right person for this task; you’re good at improvising and thinking on the fly, flexible enough to adapt, and perceptive enough to look at the big picture. Don’t depend on others to keep everything transparent and on the up-and-up. In fact, without a bit of policing from you, things could devolve all too easily into shady business. Fairness is this week’s watchword, and you’re its only guardian.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Most Pisces love a good fixer-upper. When there’s someone who’s damaged or in need of refuge, most Pisceans’ eyes light up. This is a role you often love to fulfill—the problem is, most people move on once they’re fixed up. That’ll never do. Go ahead and continue with your pet projects if you like—but when it comes to your own personal happiness, I suggest investing it in someone who sticks around because they want to, not because they need to. There are plenty of those—and you deserve them. Work your magic far and wide, but keep your eyes open for someone close who’s ready now for what you have to offer.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You deserve to be appreciated for all you do. However, that doesn’t mean making a big stink about it, or getting all riled up. Stay frosty. That doesn’t mean being passive; actually, you’re much better off being positive and proactive. However, this is really simple, and doesn’t require a big fuss. Just calmly and reasonably ask for what you want. If they say no—back down, for now. They may have been caught off guard or not be in a position to immediately grant your request. Rest assured that you are appreciated, though, and now that they know you’d like some recognition or proof, you’ll get it soon enough.
