~ Fox and Ed don't get it I don't think Pritchett got it, and I don't think Maka Fox got it either in the Sept 27 issue of Honolulu Week­ly, just like Ed Case didn't get it: We are sick and tired of a war we have been lied into.

I would have voted for Case had he spoken out against the war. When Joe Lieberman lost, I urged Case (again) to change his position on the war or he would lose.

Now Gov. Linda Lingle appears to be aligning herself with pro-war candidate Bob Hogue. I'll make the call to find out where she stands on the war of lies and will once again vote accordingly in the November elections.

Recently, Kirk Fordham, the for­mer chief-of-staff to the head of the Republican Congressional Cam­paign Committee Tom Reynolds, blames House Speaker Dennis Hastert's staff. John Boehner, Re­publican majority whip, blames Hastert. Hastert sometimes blames Democrats, sometimes says "we" are responsible-whoever "we" is. There's even a hint by some that the moral atmosphere inaugurated by Bill Clinton is responsible. Mr. Foley lays the blame on a priest who se­duced him as a teenager.

"Violence does not cease by vio­lence, but by love alone is healed," the Buddha said. A basic truism. Each of us knows this truth in our personal relationships. Why does killing and violence remain the for­eign policy of our nation? Why are we financing a half-billion-dollar killing spree in Iraq when native peoples and our own children re­main locked in poverty in America?

Imagine, if we supported Iraqi civilians with good food, water, en­ergy and shelter. hnagine what good would be generated by these expres­sions of connection. Then what sup­port would terrorism and murder have? Again, war's failed policies are making new enemies and fi­nancing militarism across the globe.

Isn't now the time to create a U.S. Dept. of Peace to explore solutions that engender goodwill and sustain­ability in our global relationships?

Doing raB right In the urban areas of Honolulu, the proposed rail mass transit must be installed underground, as are most major world cities' mass transit sys­tems.

Every building downtown and in W aikikI has a basement usually for parking; often these go down multi­ple levels. Therefore it can be and should be installed underground for aesthetic and practical reasons.

Remember the installation of the rail mass transit will take forever. If we're going to do it let's do it right.

[Note: The following letter is in re­gard to the World Can't Wait Rally in Thomas Square last week.]

I would like to make one sugges­tion to rallyists. if you wear shirts that say "F*** Bush," chances are no media will put you or the event on the tube. Regardless of how many

_ people agree with that sentiment, they have their standards.

Also, the point of the rally was to gather support. I think that we can only do that if people see and hear what the rally is saying.

That said, many thanks to all the people who led and participated in marches, organized the rally, spoke, read poems, waved signs and played music. All in all, it was an excellent example of a peaceful event for peace.

Get over the Gabbanls I wonder if Honolulu Weekly will ever

COPYRIGHT JOHN S. PRITCHETT

get over its phobia regarding the reli­gious beliefs or practices of the Gab-­bards.

I find it irritating and, of course, hypocritical that of the countless numbers of articles the Honolulu Weekly carries on politicians, I have never once seen you mention the re­ligious beliefs or practices of those politicians. But every single time you run an article that has even the briefest mention of one of the Gab­bards, you include information about their supposed religious beliefs or af­filiations.

And please don't tell me it's be­cause you have investigated the re­ligious beliefs or practices of Hawai'i's other politicians and found them all to be "normal." I'm sure your staff has never done even an iota of research into other politi­cian's religions. So you don't actual­ly know whether or not their reli­gious beliefs are worthy of public scrutiny and attention.

I believe that if the Weekly is go­ing to investigate one politician's re­ligion, they should investigate the re­ligious beliefs and affiliations or lack thereof of all of Hawai'i's politi­cians. As far as I know there may be politicians who-are affiliated with the , Moonies, the Pope, Hope Chapel, Christian Scientists, Buddhists, pos­sibly even someone who is associat­ed with the Soka Gakkai sect (which is quite large here in Hawai 'i).

Anyway it'd be nice if you could be consistent. If every time you mention Mike Gabbard you are going to tell me what his religious beliefs and affil­iations are, then I expect you to do the same every time you mention Linda Lingle, Bev Harbin, Gary Okino, Ed Case, Dan Akaka, etc. Be consistent

T1111e for change Right now we have the opportunity to change the future of our coun­try's energy policy. We can move America toward a clean and secure energy future by developing re­newable sources of energy like wind and solar power and by sav­ing oil with cars that get better gas mileage.

With war raging in the Middle East, unstable oil and gas prices and global warming threatening our future, we need to start now. But real change will only come when our elected officials act to put our country on a new energy path .

This fall we hope that all con­gressional candidates will join U.S. PIRG in helping to deliver on this promise of new energy future, if elected, by agreeing to support policies to save oil, harness energy from clean, renewable and home­grown sources, help Americans save energy, invest in new tech­nologies to power our economy and make America the world's clean energy leader.

honolulu diary The Superfeny solution Opponents say BS is the only way the HSF could be acceptable

While complaints mocratic gubernatorial candidate against the HSF Randy Iwase is currently at the have centered on the front of the pack of those who have need for an environ- publicly called for an EIS. Make mental impact state- th\t two: an environmental impact

ment, an acceptable whale avoid- statement and an economic impact ance policy, stringent agricultural survey. inspections to prevent the .....,._..,, ,movement of invasive species ·qetween i&lands and potential traffic problems, one question arises: What would get H4 up­ponents to shift their support in favor of the Superferry?

This reporter asked several current HSF opponents across Hawai'i, and surprisingly, the responses revealed that most are not anti-Superferry neces­sarily, ~mt pro-responsibility. And according to those ques­tioned, the responsible thing to do is to conduct an EIS. Most agree that with proper planning the HSF could address and mitigate potential im­pacts.

But although the anti-HSF crowd says they would welcome the Su­perferry with open arms if an EIS was conducted and any potential problems were addressed, there is a downside for the Superferry folks: at\ EIS would take time and address­ing any potential problems the EIS might bring to light would take even more. Which brings us to another question: Would such a delay doom the project? That remains to be seen.

Newly vocal HSF opponent, De-

Iwase called for the economic im­pact survey during the recent threat of Young Bros. discontinuation of less-than-container-load service due to the potential loss of 23 percent of their dock space in Kahului.

"All of this on the economic side could have been averted if the gov­ernor had from day one planned for and implemented harbor expan­sion," Iwase, who is surely looking for an edge over his gubernatorial opponent and HSF supporter Gov. Linda Lingle, says.

Hawai'i Siem). Club Vice Chair Lucienne deNaie-and longtime HSF opponent-voices concerns about the Superferry exacerbating

the Islands' s invasive species woes but believes there are ways to ad­dress the problem. ''The number [of vehicles] should be strictly limited and a facility can be set up that each vehicle must run through to be thor­oughly cleaned before transport."

However, Iwase sees potential problems with such measures. "How are they. going to inspect

every car if you are look­ing at 200 cars?" Iw.ase .says, pointing· -out that Kaua'i does not have co­qui frogs or mongoose and the potential spread of- those two · · sp_ecies would indicate out the need for an EIS. He adds that if cars ftre washed down at the harbors, he is concerned that the runoff will go into the ocean.

In addition, deNaie feels HSF and DOT should consider an alternate· landing site in Kahului Harbor away from Young Bros. cargo operation because of anticipated harbor con­gestion.

Kaua 'i resident Anne Thurston says an EIS would help mitigate im­pacts on the community, flora and fauna of the Garden Isle. "We can't get around these issues," Thurston says. ''They have to be studied prop­erly as the law requires."

Jeff Parker, a Maui orchid farmer, would like to see agriculture inspec­tions done by Department of Agri­culture employees as opposed to HSF employees. -J.M. Buck

Seek and destroy Worthless ditchweed dominates DEA eradication · efforts national... but cultivated ma~~na is the favored target ID Hawai'i

When it comes to th .. e· eradication of culti-.vated ' ·, inar:ijuana plants, Hawai 'i

. ranked fourth among. the states with a total of 255,113 plants destroyed according to a recently released study by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

Some 251,000 of those plants de­stroyed in Hawai 'i were from out­door operations while 3,950 were cultivated indoors. An additional 29,043 plants were seized by Green Harvest, a state-run eradication program. California ranked fi~t in the top.five states having the largest amountofcultiv~ted plants ~~adi: cated, with a total pf 2,0lJ;277 plants. · ·

Of the marijuana plants eradicat­ed in the Green Harvest program in Hawai 'i in 2005, 1,503 were, on O'ahu, 16,869 from Maui, 10.418 from the Big Island and 253 from Kaua'i.

However, the 2005 report by the DEA's Domestic Cannabis Eradi­cation/Suppression Program re­veals that 98 percent of all marijua­na eradicated in the U.S. is ditch-

weed, or feral hemp, which has THC levels so low that one cannot get high from smoking it. It also contains another cannabinoid, CBD, that blocks the marijuana high ..

While more than 200 million wild plants were destroyed, only some 4 million cultivated marijua­na plants nationwide were eradicat­ed in 2005. This number includes medical marijuana. aqd cultivated h~mp. ·

In fiscal year 2001, the DEA pro­vided $13.1 million to 102 pro­grams in all 50,States for marijuana eradication; 99.42 percent of eradi­cated marijuana that year across the nation was ditchweed. In 2004, the cost to federal ta~payers for mari­juana eradication' rose to at least $3.67 billion. This figure does not include state and local spending.

1n Hawai 'i, all confiscated plants in 2005 were cultivated, with no di~chweed reported. However, more than half the States failed to report ditch weed t,mmbers.

The national Qitcbweed numbers can be?a bit de¢e;iving, however. Out of the 218,633.,492 feral hemp plants eradicated ' last year, 212,441,768 of them were in Indi­ana, remnants o{the U.S.-govern­ment subsidized industrial hemp crops that existed prior to World War II. If one were to exclude Indi­ana, about 93 percent of all DEA eradicated plants were cultivated and about 7 percent were ditch­weed.

QUICK HITS Just like Hillary Clinton accepted Bill's apology for not hav­ing sexual relations with that woman, the folks at 'Ilio'ulaokalani Coalition have accepted an apology from Celebrity Cruises for their ad depicting the Kamehameha statue on King St hoisting a glass of champagne. Accord­ing to an 'Ilio 'ulaokalani Coalition press release, the cruise line has promised to send its marketing staff to cultural sen­sitivity training. "We are sure they will come to know and re­spect our Native Hawaiian heritage and more fully under­stand the deep hurt and anger they caused with their ad," the­press release read. Meanwhile, at cultural sensitivity training, Celebrity Cruises marketers are hoisting glasses of cham­pagne in honor of the free publicity.

With the big loss behind him, now is a time of reflection for Ed Case. What did he do wrong? What did he do right? Those are the questions that Case has been asking. Now, he wants your help. Last week, Case sent out a request to the public seeking advice, criticism, arm-chair quarterbackisms and sexy come-on letters. (Just kidding about that last part there, but you know Ed is probably down right now and any­thing mildly flirtatious will surely b.ighten his day.) Those interested in helping Case see the errors of bis ways or to give the guy a pat on the back, send a brief note to: P.O. Box 4618, Kane'ohe, HI 96744. And remember, Case himself asks for "your complete candor.''

Hands on From solar ovens to saltigg fish, sustainabilftl summit teaches students by example

From Oct. 5-7, the Malama Leaming Center arn;l Ka'ala Farm hosted the three-day Ka Papa O 'Kiikuhihewa Sustainability Summit on

O'ahu's leeward side. The organiz­ers took an engaging, sensible ap­proach: The program, supported by Hawaiian Electric and Kamehame­ha Schools, was structured around the traditional Hawaiian land man­agement system of the ahupua 'a­·a day of makai activities, a day of

· mauka activities and a pa 'ina that linked the two and literally present­ed the fruits of good labor.

A few things made this workshop · unique from others with similar goals. One, attendees learned by do­ing; two, it was taught by practition­ers-fishermen, farmers, a canoe builder, teachers-and not by peo­ple who proselytize about sustain­ability only on paper; and three, it involved the kids, Hawai'i ' s future stewards.

After brief introductions at the Kamehameha Schools Community Learning Center at Nanakuli, every­one headed outside to cut, salt and dry fish. Dozens of 'opelu were pro­vided compliments of Wai 'anae

MEDIA WATCH; When a news organ~ion gets lucky and lands a s1ofY that ca11&­es readership to skYrocket, web hits to· rise and ratings to spike, well, you stick with that story for as long as you can. Inevitably the public will grow tired of the tale, but if you're lucky, that could be a long way off.

For better or worse, some of our readers probably feel like we've stuck with some stories way past their expiration date. Whether it's the ongoing battle over the Hawaii Superferry or our fascination with Ed Case's failed bid to oust Sen. Daniel Akaka or the endless jokes about Bev Harbin, the Ala Wai Canal and Joe Moore, there's a chance you might feel like you're Phil Conners stuck in Punx­sutawney, Pa., on Groundhog Day whenever you pick up the Weekly. For others, sticking to a core group of stories just might be what you're looking for. Drop me a line. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

That said, Howard Dashefsky, Stephanie Lum and the rest of the KHNL news team have fou nd their golden goose in the most un­likely of places-a box of grits.

The story goes like this: Hon­olulu resident Delaine Guy was cooking up a pot of grits for her­self and her son. She ate. Her son

. ate. They vomited. They found worms in their box of grits. Tiny, squirming, yellowish worms.

When the KHNL bunch first heard of the box of worms, which Guy had purchased from a Safe­way on Beretania, who knows if they realized that in some way~ they had stumbled upon what would likely be their biggest sJory of the year. But after their first si.:..g­ment on the worm-infested gri1 featuring a clearly distraught Guy,

it became clear that the story had legs. How so? Nestle, the compa­ny that manufactured the grits Guy bought, issued a recall-not just in Hawai'i, but all across the U.S.

That initial report begat a fol­lowup and that followup has begat an ad touting KHNL's ability to look out for the little guy.

My advice to Howard Dashef­sky, Stephanie Lum and the rest of the KHNL team: Milk it for all it's worth. Who 1 ows when you'll stumble upo1 11other? It's proba­bly as rare as opening a box of grits and finding worms.

Stay focused Talking about Constitutional Amendments, the part of the ballot that you glance over, mark willy--nilly and hand · to the poll helper with a vague fear that you have voted for the end of civilization as we know it.

To the list of ways in which pol­itics is like war we can add this: Whether the participants like it or not, there are rules. In war they are called the Rules of En­

gagement. In politics they are called Don't Make The Voters Nauseous.

Somewhere between sending creepy Instant Messages to 15-year-old boys and calling out 82-year-old senators is an imposing selection of behaviors that leave the mass of voters with a bad taste in their mouths. One that we do not often think about but bas suddenly grown in­importance is messing with the Constitution for short-term political gain.

I will just come right out with it: I am going to talk about Constitutional Amendments, the part of the ballot that you glance over, mark willy-nilly and band to the poll helper with a vague fear that you have voted for the end of civilization as we know it. The part of voting that feels like work. The part that you would rather not think about. I feel your pain. But try to keep your focus here. Take a break if you have to. I am not going anywhere.

Among the five proposed amendments to the Hawai 'i State Constitution on the ballot for the impending General Election are two that should give voters pause. I am not saying the remaining three are unimportant, but sim-

ply uninteresting to your typical acid-tongued political junkie. The one about special purpose revenue bonds makes me want to go lie down.

The first amendment of interest, Question 1, involves appointments to the University of Hawai 'i Board of Regents. Here is bow the system works now: When a vacancy occurs, the governor names a replacement. The excit­ed designee goes down to the State Senate to be abused, chastised and otherwise made a fool ofby Clayton Hee. Typically, the nomi­nee is approved, takes a seat in a big leather chair and seeks therapy for the recurring nightmares.

The amendment would create a "candidate advisory council" that would prepare a list of names from which the governor would select the new regent. Seems pretty benign. You can barely open a door in our state offices without walking in on some council or commission, so one more should not be that big a deal. Hold that thought.

Our second questionable amendment is Question 3, which eliminates the mandatory retirement age for state judges. The law now requires that they leave the bench at age 70. That feels more than a little anachronistic in our age of high-grade medical care and senior discounts at the health club.

The problem with these outwardly reason­able changes to the state Constitution is that

they were motivated by pure political greed. They are an ointment on t:Qe itch that our De­mocratic legislators cannot scratch: The gov­ernor is a Republican.

The dominant party wants to limit the gov­ernor's powers. They make no secret of it. By selecting the members of the Board of Re­gents, the governor exercises a small amount of control over the University of Hawai 'i. Limiting her choices to those approved by a politically appointed commission takes away a great deal of that power. Appointing judges lets the governor affect the direction of socie­ty, at least in theory. Eliminating the mandato­ry retirement age raises a hope that everyone on the bench today will keep breathing for four more years, until we can put a nice, safe Democrat into the governor's seat.

The state Constitution is not a political chew-toy. It should serve as a statement of our most basic beliefs, ensuring some level of continuity while the individual offices of our government change bands. Inserting amend­ments to address a perceived problem with the governor's political affiliation is a cynical abuse of the legislative majority. We should not stand for" it. Because there are rules, whether they like it or not.

Let's take a test. You are living in a nice

apartment high up in Honolulu. Which would bother you more?

Scenario One: Your neighbor smokes weed on his lanai at dusk. He's a nice enough fellow-you think he might be gay. On windy

evenings his secondhand smoke wafts into your apartment where you live with your 2-year-old son and your diseased grandmother.

Scenario Two: You live by Robert Frost's quasi-motto, which asserts that good fences make good neighbors. You get along fine with the folks next door (for this.

situation you're not in an apartment anymore), but someone keeps throwing·graffiti onto that wooden fence of yours. It happens every weekend, yet no one does

anything about it.

Scenario Three: You're back in the nice apartment with the bad neighbor. This time he doesn't smoke, but he disturbs you by a) playing My Bloody Valentine records

at ear-smashing volume on Sunday mornings, orb) watching Laguna Beach on DVD late into each weeknight at volumes just loud eriough to disturb your sleep.

Which would bother you more? Which is the greater intrusion into public space: smoke, graffiti or unwanted sound? Discuss.

know. Six months ago I walked down Wilder Avenue. at 11PM on a Saturday night on my way home from a friend's house. As I passed a bus stop, one woman said to an­other, "Sometimes you're too hon­est. What good could ever come from telling me that right now?" For the rest of my life I'll wonder what they were talking about. I en­joy sound when I choose to listen. Perhaps the difference between the word "sound" and the word "noise," is that a sound is some­thing we expose ourselves to by choice. Noise is sound gone feral.

I am watching Snakes on a Plane at Ward Theaters. I point my deci­bel meter at the pilot as he screams, 'We've lost avionics!" Throughout the movie, the decibel level hovers around 100, occasionally peaking at 130. To see a movie at Ward is akin to sitting in a subway tunnel as trains run constantly by; occa­sionally, a shotgun would blast.

Because of a sneaking suspicion that Ward plays its movies louder than other theaters, I bring the me-

EVEN AS I CHILL OUTONMY COUCH, THE DECIBEL LEVELS IN MY APARTMENT NEVER REALLY DROP BELOW 60.

ter to Dole Cannery. An Inconve­nient Truth plays at the relatively quiet level of 70 dBs.

Perhaps it's not fair to compare a documentary featuring Al Gore to a movie with Sam Jackson about snakes on a plane. I watch the snake movie a second time. Now the levels aven:ige around 90 dBs and peak at 120 Ward plays this movie 10 dBs louder than Dole Cannery.

If it weren't for my quest for data, I probably wouldn't watch Snakes on a Plane two days in a row. When it comes to killer snake movies, I'm of the opinion that once you've had Anaconda with Jon Voight and Jennifer Lopez, you can never really go back. And speaking of going back: Is it possi­ble to return to a time when Hon­olulu was a quieter city? Is noise pollution yet another unavoidable by-product of the urban transfor­mation ofHawai'i?

Such are the questions raised by Cliff Montgomery, president of an advocacy group called Citizens Against Noise (CAN). The first Hawai'i CAN chapter formed in 1970 as population and develop­ment began to increase on O'ahu. At one time the organization, founded by former state representa­tive Joan Hayes, listed on its roster more than 1,000 dues-paying resi­dents. CAN dissolved in the late 1980s, but Montgomery is actively trying to reestablish its influence. "I think the problem is steadily get­ting worse," he says when I ask him about noise pollution on O'ahu. 'We're just cranking up again."

Right now CAN is focusing on enforcement of existing noise laws.

• f

"It's clear there are laws and state statutes that need to be enforced," Montgomery asserts. "For instance, there is both a state statute and a city ordinance against modifying a vehicle's exhaust system so that it makes more noise. This seems clear cut, yet dozens of cars and motorcycles drive around daily with obviously modified illegal mufflers. We expect the law to be enforced and we expect convictions."

This issue of noise pollution seems connected to issues like graffiti and secondhand smoke in that each involves conflict between individual expression and commu­nal obligation. "If some guy wants to ride around with loud mufflers," Montgomery explains, "that's a

form of individual expression that's just not acceptable."

I point my meter through the . plywood wall at a construction sight in Kaka 'ako. The noise regis­ters 90 dBs until a passing ambu­lance boosts up the levels past 120. Noise may be an inevitable conse­quence of growth, but I also won­der if a more avoidable kind of noise increases as lines blur between that which is private and that which is public. I'd imagine it's obvious to most Americans living in the ·21st century that defi­nitions of "private" and "public" are collapsing into one another.

On one hand, privacy, which I'm defining as the right of individuals to designate parts of their lives as personal and restricted, is assaulted

by contemporary politics, culture and technology. The government claims authority to investigate who we are calling or which books we check out from the library; our in­dividual histories float around un­fettered on the Internet; television cameras broadcast as entertainment the lives of people engaged in what we used to call "private life." Pri­vacy has become a quaint luxury of a passing age.

On the other hand, anyone who has stood in line at the grocery be­hind someone involved in personal · discussion on a cell phone knows that we are losing a sense of what it means to share public space. Web cams, Y ouTube and MySpace push open the closed (if virtual) doors, which delineate the difference be-

/mo

tween the inside and outside worlds. Now there is no such thing as an outside world. Or if there is one, someone is engaged in some­thing private there. Knock down the walls separating the individual from the communal and one thing that remains is someone else's noise.

Perhaps we need to apply the analogy of sustainability to noise pollution. What would be the defi­nition of a sustainable level of soci­etal noise? Could we imagine a Honolulu where people only made sounds that they-and they only­could hear? •

Concerts Blue October­f est

I f Matt Catingub' s Return to Ro­mance albwn (see page 15) recol­lects an era of unfussy, heart­

skipping love, Blue October's Foiled (2006) suggests that the way we look at love varies by generation. Front man Justin Furstenfeld, influenced by such ·melancholy bands as The Smiths and The Cute, wrote the lyrics to the first song on the albwn "Hate Me" as an unflinching look at himself: "I have to block out thoughts of you/So I don't lose my head/They crawl in like a cockroach/Leaving babies in my bed." The words must have resonated widely-people love to hate love nowadays-and the single shot to nwnber two on Billboard magazine's Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Misery loves company, and for a lot of the miserable, painful emotions can be purged and cathartic transcen-

dence reached through music, or at least that's what the band hopes it en­courages with their collection of re­flective songs about depression, drug use, betrayal and forgiveness. Blue October's synth pop sound embraces familiar elements from broadly apr pealing prog-rockers Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd and Coldplay, music that sticks and is easy to sing along to. The band from Houston plays a show pre­sented by BAMP Project at the Hale Koa Lii'au Garden next Wednesday

Matli crew

Ozomacli is bringing back their truly informed blend of funk, hip-hop, rock and world music

for another blowout at Aloha Tower on Thursday. The politically con­scious band from Los Angeles clearly loves it here and makes it a point to come once a year.

A lot of times, it seems that a Hawai'i show is an afterthought for touring bands, a quick way to make a buck and catch some rays on the way to or from Japan and Australia. When Ozomacli arrives in Honolulu, they'll have just finished a run through Texas. For the Grammy award-winning band, Hawai'i is a destination gig, not just a layover. They'll be here for a three-island tout

(with stops on Maui and Kaua'i) be­fore heading back the way they came to play a series of shows in New Or­leans.

Clearly, local fans have had an im­pact on Ozomacli. They also have re­alized that each time the band per­forms in Honolulu, the shows get bigger and better. The Latin-break­beat-salsa-funk-reggae-hip-hop-rock orchestra will release their new albwn Don't Mess with the Dragon in early 2007. Get a live preview Thursday night.

Talk to me

Normally, a crowd of 1,000 trip­ping out in Ala Moana Beach Park would raise an eyebrow or

two. People would wonder: Is Phish getting back together? Has the Flower Power movement returned? No, actu­ally, it's the 18th annual Talk Story Festival.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Festival founder Jeff Gere believes that storytelling has the ability to transport audiences, resulting in a phenomenon similar to hallucinating, something he refers to as "guided vi­sualization." Rest assured, these hallu­cinations are simply the byproducts of a healthy imagination. The Talk Sto­ry Festival is the largest of its kind in Hawai'i and has grown every year since its inception in 1989.

The tellers, like their stories, are an ever-changing eclectic mix-some lo­cal, some mainland-all brought to­gether to share their singular passion for this unique form of entertain­ment. Like poetry slams, an intrigu­ing aspect of storytelling is its depend­ence upon the audience. Successful storytellers know how to establish a connection. To accomplish this, sto­ryteller Brenda Kwon likes to think of her audience as "a group of friends ... who want to know what I've been up to." Special guest story­teller Alton Chung, who has wit­nessed crowds of 20,000 listeners, says that no matter the size of the au­dience, "The best storytellers are the ones who have the ability to make you feel like they are talking only to you." -Guerric Decoligny

Party like a writer

Do you think writers spend all their time in front of the DVR watching recorded prime time

TV with their Macbooks in their laps, wearing only a pair of ratty boxers while typing out Hot Picks? Only if you're projecting.

Real writers like to cut loose and let their inner MS Word rage! Here comes Bamboo Ridge to throw down Writers Night Out. The party starts on Friday night with free read­ings from poets Kealoha and Bren­da Kwon, novelist Chris McKinney (The Tattoo, The Queen of Tears), and Hawai'i's first lady ofliterature, Lois-Ann Yamanaka (Blus Hangi.ng, Behold the Many) in the University ofHawai'i Campus Center Ballroom.

The next day, the real work begins with Try 4 Write!, the 2006 edition of the Bamboo Ridge Writers Insti­tute, a full day of readings, panels and writing workshops. Highlights in­clude a keynote address by ace play­wright Lee Cataluna, "Fishbowl:" a tribute to filmmaker Kayo Hatta, a lunchtime reading celebrating the Fil­ipino Centennial and a closing read­ing by the Pidgin Guerilla himself, Lee Tonouchi.

Various workshops will be taught by-in addition to some of the afore­mentioned scribes-Cedric Yamana­ka, Craig Howes, Juliet Kono, Victo­ria Kneubuhl, Stuart Coleman, Ian MacMillan and many more. For

more details and registration fees, check the information on the Bam­boo Ridge website at www.bam­booridge.com. -Ryan Senaga

Comedy

Yes, we can blab on and on about the Roman Empire­the gladiator games, the orgies,

the aqueducts--but when it comes to the Persian Empire, most of us will draw a blank. But don't feel too bad if you don't know Cyrus the Great from Darius · III. You can always blame the Board of Education for bungling your education.

That said, one part of Persian cul­ture that has found its way into the Western consciousness has been its stories. And you need to look no fur­ther than The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, featuring Aladdin, Ali Baba and Sinbad the sailor.

Of course, these days, the name Sinbad probably conjures up images of a heavy-set guy in garish doilies eliciting guffaws instead of a guy fighting off mythological beasties with a scimitar. Afi:er all, Sinbad the come­dian has done a pretty good job of leaving his mark. From his initial quest for comedic glory on Star Search to his turn as Coach Oakes on Cosby Show spin-off A Different World to his gig hosting the long­running variety show slash boo-and­hiss fest Showtime at the Apollo to his very successful standup career, Sinbad has endured. Not like his sailor name­sake\ra,s,~ut he has managed to stick around· despite the fact that Maxim magazine ranked him as the Worst Comedian of All Time. (Ahead of Emo Phillips? Judy Tenuta? Andrew Dice Clay? Can we get a recount?)

Seriously, if you want .fumily-&iend­ly fare, then the so-real-it-hurts comedy observations of the always gregarious, generally energetic, consistently funny Sinbad just might be exactly what you are looking for. -Chris Haire

Going out _for ice creatn HI. MY NAME IS RICHARD. EVERYBODY CALLS ME RICKY except for my Uncle Ryan. He calls me Dick. He thinks it's funny. I don't really un­derstand,· but I'm 11, and Dad says I don't need to grow up that fast.

Uncle Ryjll,l goes out at night and my Mom says that's. why he's the black sheep.-! like hanging out with him, anyway, even if he keeps taking sips from this container that sfuells like ammonia. I told him to take me to that ice cream parlor Farrell's at Wind,_yard Mall 'cause my classmate told me about it.

Uncle said Farrell's is different from how it used to be when it was at Ala Moana and Kabala Mall. That was around 20 years ago, so how would I.know the difference? He complained that rou can see the tile and paint from when it was McDonald's, but I don't care. It's nice. They have airplanes hanging from the ceiling, and there's a pi-••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ano in the front There's no arcade,

Farrell's Windward Mall (792-4455) _46-056 Kamehameha Highway Kane'ohe

Getting In: Free Dress Gode: Whatever. Sightings: That hot girl from Summer Fun! Soundtrack: Ragtime piano (Uncle helped with that.) Signature drink: Shakes (vanil­li chocolate, chocolate mint, coffee, coffee mocha, cheny, strawbeny, butterscotch, pineapple, raspbeny, blackber­ry). Be careful, they make them pretty strong. If you chug it, you'll get a head rush.

but that's OK 'cause Tilt is right across in the mall. Plus there's a general store with lots of candy, and all the workers wear these red and white striped suits all old-style like Main Street in Disneyland.

I don't really care about the food (except they have criss-cut fries that look like they were made in a waffle maker). I like the sundaes. We tried the Diamond Head. It was huge and dripping with whipped cream, and when you stab it with a spoon, all the straw­berry juice comes out like blood. They also have a sundae called the Honolulu Zoo, and that cine has a zillion scoops of ice cream. I won­der what they call the sundae~on the mainland? Those sundaes are

really expensive (the Diamond Head was $22.49 and the Honolulu Zoo is $42.49!) so you should get money from your grandparents. Unless you go private school and you have your own money.

The staff is fun. When you order a Belly Buster sundae, this train whistle goes off and there's a loud siren and they run around the restaurant carrying giant sundaes with these ER stretchers to your table, and if it's your birthday, they sing. But Uncle is junk and said that he can't handle when he's hangin'.

Weekends are happening. I saw four people from my school and at least 20 people from My Space. (I'm not their friends, I just look at their pages.) I want my birthday party there, but they aren't taking any more party reservations until next year, and the wait in the dining room could be up to an hour or "even longer during peak hours." Wow. Maybe they will open one closer to town 'cause Uncle is scary when he drives over the Pali. -Ricky Senaga

One sroove indivisible During his 12 years, perpetuating, promoting and advancing the Hawai'i music scene, DJ Sovem-T always gets love up in the club. It's never been about the popularity, fame or groupie love-the music is the reason.

From his jam sessions playing bass guitar all over town to his deep root­ed Treehaus parties back in the day to his present day uplifting setut Indigo, Sovem-T has always been sick with dancehall and jungle fever.

The Matt Catingub Orchestra of Hawai'i reminds us that romance is timeless.

Sing it tome • one more time

CATHARINE LO

Uve songs aren't what

they used to be. Num­er one on the Bill­oard charts? Justin imberlake's "Sexy­

Back," which goes like this: "Dirty babe/You see these shackles, baby, I'm your slave/I'll let you whip me if I misbehave/It's just that no one makes me feel this way." Not quite a starry-eyed Audrey Hepburn float­ing around her bed dreaming of Rex Harrison and singing ''I Could Have Danced All Night" ... If romance is a p~erequisite for love, it's no wonder that love seems harder to find.

If, in our cynical day.and age, ro­mance has died, Honolulu Sympho­ny Pops conductor Matt Catingub and producer Allen Sviridoff are resurrecting it. On Oct. 17, they re­lease the first CD from the Matt Catingub Orchestra of Hawaii (MCOH), titled Return to Romance. With jazz standards like "When I Fall in Love" performed by Jimmy Borges and "My Heart Stood Still" performed by Patti Austin, the al­bum is a tribute to some of the great­est love songs ever written. It also features two new original composi­tions by Catingub and Sviridoff: "A Peaceful Hawai'i Night" and "I'm not Through With Romance," sung by Raiatea Helm and Toni Tennille respectively, demonstrating that the project's progenitors are certainly not through with romance. The al­bum also includes Tennille's 1975 hit single "The Way that I Want to Touch You," and she sings it as provocatively as she did 30 years ago.

The pleading lilt of the saxo­phone, the piano's gentle chord pro­gressions, the unconditional support of the horns and strings-Catingub puts together thoughtful arrange-

ments that revive the familiar melodies and infuse them with new energy compliments of some of the most talented musicians in Honolu­lu.

"Our musicians are brilliant. I did­n't realize just bow great they are," says Catingub, who not only orches­trated the entire CD, but also con­tributes t~nor sax, piano and vocals. The orchestra recorded the album at Hawaii Theatre in August.

"Not too many artist's go into the studio to record with a 40-, 60-, 80-piece orchestra," Catingub contin­ues. Catingub and Sviridoff matched the songs to the artists based on "the emotion behind the song, w}J.ose voice would be behind it and who would be happy doing it."

With the collaboration of some of Hawai 'i's greatest ¥ocalists-Ra­iatea Helm, Dave Koz, Amy Hana­iali 'i Gilliom, Brothers Cazimero, Na Leo Pilimebana and Jimmy Borges-the first project of the MCOH is a collection of songs that are endearing, honest and soulful. Amy Hanaiali 'i Gilliom sees my face in every flower. If Keali 'i Re­ichel ever lost me, I'm convinced he would cry.

Angela Morales of Na Leo Pil­imehana mentions that people tell her their recording of "Can't Help Falling in Love" gives them chicken skin. "But as [Na Leo's] Lehua [Heine] says, it's not us. It's Matt's arrangement. We just open our mouths."

The end result, for lack of a better way to explain it, is a package that will make you want to ask Matt Catingub to take your hand and your whole life, too. Nat King Cole, Irv­ing Berlin, even Elvis, would be proud.

Romance and Hawai 'i is a win­ning combination that is a no-brain­er. The orchestra will make their

live performance debut next spring at the Return to Romance Music Festival March 1-11. Hawai'i musi­cians and special guests including Wayman Tisdale, Kirk Whalum and Patti Austin will perform at a variety of venues around the island.

"It's an opportunity to show the world the talent here is so extreme," says Sviridoff, who also produced the soundtrack for the 2005 Oscar­nominated Good Night, and Good µick for which Dianne Reeves won the best jazz vocal album Grammy. The reaction that be and Catingub (who also co-wrote and performed on the soundtrack) received after Good Night, and Good Luck be­came the seed for the romance proj­ect, Sviridoff explains, adding, "It's certainly time in this world to do something very positive. You won't find a song on this record about lost love. These are love songs to make you feel good. When this CD comes out, give it to someone you love."

"There's something universal about singing for love no matter where you are in the world," says Robert Cazimero, who along with brother Roland, sing "Let There Be Love," track 13 on Return to Ro­mance. During the spring festival, love and romance will be reunited in perhaps the most universal of ro­mantic ceremonies-a wedding. One couple will win a dream Hawaiian wedding in which the symphony will play "Air on a G String" as the bride arrives on a dou­ble-hulled canoe at Waikiki: Beach at sunset.

A note to the would-be gentle­men and closet romantics out there: We can't all have (nor do we ex­pect) the full, 40-piece orchestra to serenade us on the sands of Waikild, but the album is good for at least a few candlelit twirls around the living room. •

Here are a few more hot tips for turning your trash into cash:

• Go ahead and crush 'em! All redemption centers now accept crushed cans and plastic bottles. But the reverse vending machines don't.

• It's faster to weigh. If you have more than 50 containers to redeem, they may be weighed instead of hand-counted.

• Separate clear glass from colored. Find out if your redemption center wants glass containers separated by color. It'll make your life easier at the counter.

• Take your cap off. Plastic bottle caps aren't made from the same stuff as the bottles, so remove them before recycling.

Go ahead, Hawai'i: Give yourself a Hl-5.

Ansel Adams searches for bits of freedom in internees' lives of confinement

Liberating Manzanar

MARCIA MORSE

There is a rough beau­ty in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, with Mt. Williamson a looming sentinel

above the dry, dusty plain whose waters were drawn off to feed the great thirst of Los Angeles. It is a landscape ennobled in the work of photographer Ansel Adams, whose portraits of the terrain of the Amer­ican West convey a sense of grand, often rhapsodic vision.

In 1943-' 44, Adams visited Man­zanar in Owens Valley, just east of the Sierra Nevada foothills, on a self-assigned mission. He was there not to photograph the landscape, though several potent images did emerge from his visits. He was there to document the human com­munity that had been forcibly im­planted in a place that had once nur­tured fruit orchards.

At its peak, Manzanar War Relo­cation Center-one of 10 such sites across the U.S.-housed more than 10,000 Japanese-American citizens, about 10 percent of those who were interned during World War II after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Up­rooted from their homes, forced to give up farms, businesses and per­sonal possessions at great loss, they were relocated to about one square mile of land, ringed by barbed wire.

Out of this great rupture, some­thing remarkable happened-the practices of daily life reasserted themselves, the institutions of self­governance reemerged. Adams, with a strong sense of social justice as well as a commitment to envi­ronmental stewardship, visited Manzanar four times, talked to the

internees and photographed them as they moved through their lives of confinement. If some of the im­ages-farmers at work, a family portrait, children going to school­seem quite ordinary, this only un­derscores the extraordinary nature of the place and the legacy Adams created.

Adams initially published these photographs in Born Free and Equal, a book intended as a visual plea for tolerance, a poignant re­minder of the founding values of a nation caught in the throes of wartime racism. The composite portrait Adams created of Manza­nar highlights those aspects that could be most easily seen as being "American": a town hall meeting, a baseball game, a high school choir. But Adams transcends simple advocacy in a complex document that resonates on multiple levels.

The land is, naturally, Adams' point of entry. "Mt. Williamson, Sierra Nevada, from Manzanar," the peak wreathed in luminous clouds and viewed across a boul­der-strewn expanse, is a vision of awesome wilderness, while "Winter

Sunrise, the Sierra Nevada, from Lone Pine, California," with its stri­ations of light and darkness, is, for all its grandeur, intimate and idyllic. Mt. Williamson has a talismanic presence (not unlike Mt. Fuji) in other images that situate the com­munity within an environmental context. It forms a dramatic back­drop for farm workers, merges with the sky behind a pile of burning leaves, echoes the pointed tip of a memorial obelisk and is even glimpsed through a pattern-maker's window.

The community-its artifacts, itS activities-emerges more fully in other works that sometimes have a <larker subtext: a view of the reloca­tion center from a watchtower, a football practice (for a team, unable to travel, that always had the home field advantage) or a street scene with a sign marking the location of the Office of Reports and Manza­nar's "Free Press."

Ultimately, Adams moves in to focus on some of the individuals who sustained the pulse of Manza­nar: nurse Aiko Harnaguchi, X-ray technician Michael Yonemitsu, chemist Frank Hirosawa, artist C. T. Hibino. Shown in situ, they are exemplars of productive lives, their value as citizens affirmed. When Adams moves still closer to his hu­man subjects, as in tightly-framed portraits of Aiko Harnaguchi, Jim­my Shohara, Harry Sumida, Yuichi Hirata, safe-distanced observation collapses, and we come face to face with unflinching gazes that bind us to the memory of Manzanar.

Questions & Answers About Our Environment

EarthTalk: What is the best eco· friendly vehicle choice for those of us who need a pickup or SUV? We are about to replace two older trucks with one that is more fuel· efficient.

-Barbara Roemer, via e-mail

Fuel efficiency has not typically been the calling card of pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles (SUVs). Small hybrid gasoline-electrics are all the rage now among commuters looking to save money at the pump, but simi­lar technology has been slower to gain traction in the "light truck" cat­egqry. Carmakers have made strides in recent years, though, to meet growing demand for vehicles of all kinds that will sip and nofgulp.

Currently, General Motors is the only carmaker offering hybrid pick­ups. Hybrid versions of its Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 4x4s have been available since 2005, and get about 18 miles per gallon (mpg)/city and 21/highway. The non-hybrid ver­sions get 15/19 mpg, but cost $1,500

. less. GM claims that those paying the hybrid premium will get back that extra investment in fuel savings over three to five years ..

Toyota reportedly has plans for hybridizing its. full-size pickup line, too. The company recently unveiled its FTX concept truck, a large 4x4 hybrid pickup,-hinting that technolo­gy developed for the project will likely end up in its current full-size Tundra pickup. But no such models have hit showrooms yet, and Toyota remains mum about a release date. Meanwhile, industry analysts have been picking up chatter about a hy­brid version of Honda's popular Ridgeline pickup, but the company has yet to publicly announce plans.

Regarding fuel-efficient SUVs, consumers have a few more choices. Ford currently leads the charge with its Escape Hybrid model, a smaller SUV that gets 36/31 mpg. Ford makes similar SUV hybrids under its Mer­cury and Mazda brands. Meanwhile, Toyota's mid-sized Highlander Hybrid SUV clocks in af32/27 mpg, while the similar Lexus RX 400 Hybrid gets 33/28 mpg. All these vehicles post

. significantly better fuel efficiency . ratings than their non-hybrid coun­terparts, but also cost more up front.

If you're looking to purchase a new hybrid-electric car or truck in the U.S. before the end of 2007 you

may qualify for a healthy tax credit, depending on the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. According to the Internal Revenue Service {IRS), a 2007 4WD Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra · hybrid pickup would garner a tax credit worth $650 (2WD versions qualify for a $2~0 credit), and the new 2WD Ford Escape Hybrid and Toyota's Highlander Hybrid each qualify for a whopping $2,600 credit. Buyers of the 2007 Lexus RX 400h can count on getting $2,200 back. The c ~dits are limited to the first 60,000 sold, though, so if you're looking to jump on the hybrid band­wagon you should run, not walk, to the nearest showroom.

Replacing an older truck with a newer model-especially a hybrid­will almost always guarantee better fuel economy, but it might not be the most enviroAmentally sensitive way to go, all things considered. Some experts would argue for keep­ing the old truck, and fixing and tun­ing it up, th~s preventing another new vehicle from hitting the roads while an old one clogs up the junk­yard. Repairing an old vehicle is usu­ally cheaper than buying a new one, though it is difficult to quantify the cost of ongoing maintenance hassles.

Love on the edge

BOB GREEN

Japan, 1968. Mizuki has just turned 16, but her adoptive family-aunty and kin­couldn't care less. They've taken in the teenager after her

father died and her mother ran away with one child, leaving Mizuki be­hind. The shy, seemingly emotion­less student lives a life of solitude­until she discovers a jazz club (Art Blakely music plays throughout the film) frequented by people a few years older than herself. Ringleader of this clique is Ryo, a charismatic if detached young man given to "rev­olution" (he wants to embarrass Japan's corrupt, monied powers) and reveling in booze and drugs.

At first Mizuki stays on the pe­riphery of the group, but she finds herself falling hard for Ryo, whose

That eerie, angelic chorus and opening guitar riff of the Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" be­

gins The Departed, a welcome sig­nal that Martin Scorsese is back in gangster territory. What follows is the most entertaining, confident and playfully pop Martin Scorsese film in years.

Based on the Hong Kong import hit Infernal Affairs, Scorsese takes the preposterous high-concept-a cat and mouse game with two un­dercover moles, one in the niob, one in the police department, both hunt­ing each other-and runs with it, us­ing his trademark swirling cameras and foreground close-up shots.

well as the gangsters, he brings a fresh, powerful level of empathy to his work.

The Departed is the most entertain-­ing, confide-nt and playfully pop Scar ... sese film in years.

Jack Nicholson is the mob boss Costello, and his leopard-print­wardrobed performance seems to influence the playfulness in Scors­ese's tone, practically replacing the directot' s trademark visual deftness. Not since the Joker in Batman has Nicholson.been this simultaneously smooth and slimy. What helps the performance even more is a stand­out, urban, expletive-laden script by William Monahan, whose previous project was, of all things, the cru­sade epic Kingdom of Heaven.

"F*ck your mother" jokes never sounded this good.

Also having a field day with the vulgar one-liners is Mark Wahlberg as the undercover unit's bullying second-in-command and the de­lightfully, crotch-grabbingly ob­scene Alec Baldwin as head of the detective squad. Adding a feminine touch to the testosterone fest is the terrific Vera Farmiga, from this year's underrated Running Scared.

Anchoring the bursts of vulgarity and jolting shot-in-the-head vio­lence is Leonardo DiCaprio. Acting with an adult, twitchy intensity, he makes his undercover mob mole a vital object of audience compassion. DiCaprio is so good that he makes Matt Damon-tire police depart­ment mole-look a bit desperate to keep up with everybody.

This sustained tone of operatic tension and awed amusement is marred by the film's last 10 seconds. An inserted image of such obvious symbolism momentarily defaces The Departed, which, nonetheless, is one of the best films of the year.•

Opening The Grudge 2 More re-make from Japanese horror stuff, with Sarah Michelle Geller back in the saddle, fending off more curses. Infamous Yes, Virginia, there are two movies about Truman Capote. The new one is said to be much bolder about Capote's adventures, sexual and otherwise, during the writing of In Cold Blood. Many stars here, among them Sandra Bullock. Man of the Year A comic (Robin Williams) runs for president. Co-starring is the great Lau­ra Linney. The Marine Exploitation actioner with John Cena, the hot new wrestler pursuing the career path of The Rock. The U.S. vs. John Lennon Doc about Prez. Nixon's animosity and campaign against the Lennons.

Continuing All the King's Men Retooled and held from release for a suspiciously long while, director Steve Zallian has adapted this tale, based on the life of Louisana's Huey Long, ace political tyrant, as originally writ by Robert Penn War­ren, from the novel· and first movie years ago. The cast includes Sean Penn, Jude Law, Mark Ruffalo and a surprise femme. llanyMI If you guessed this is the newest ani­mationer, you'd be right. The Black DahDa Transporting a powerhouse cast (and Josh Hartnett) to Bulgaria, Helmer Brian DePalma traffic-directs a blonde Scarlett Johanssen (in her early Lana Turner incarna­tion), Hilary Swank as a raunchy, lurid bisex­ual fatale, Aaron Eckhardt as a violence-prone cop and yummy Hartnett as an honest cop in an overly large '40s hat. The source material­the true-life 1947 horrific slaying of would-be Hollywood starlet Elizabeth Short, becoming self-loathing Tinseltown's favorite unsolved killing-is James Ellroy's book The Black Dahlia, as precise as the movie imitation is

lurid. (Reviewed 9/27)-Bob Green The Covenmit This is The Lost Boys and The Craft by way of Charmed, mixed with Entourage in a high school. As one warlock says before making his SUV levitate, "Harry Potter can kiss my ass." Ooh ... edgy! For Lagu­na Beach girls and gay boiz, The Covenant is mandatory viewing and may become a cult object. The rest of society should avoid this at all costs. (Reviewed 9/13) -Ryan Senaga 'i'The Departed Martin Scorsese directs the American version of Andy Lau's Hong Kong culter Infernal Affairs. The U.S. cast includes Nicholson, DiCaprio and Damon. See review on p. 23. Employee of the Month Don't confuse this with Man of the Year, starring Robin Williams. Everyone's Hero Animationer about "finding yourself." You can just imagine. Co-directed by the late Christopher Reeve. Fearless Jet Li (in reportedly his last martial arts film) plays a wushu master with daddy issues that cause him to want to become the ultimate fighter in a tum-of-the-century China inundated with the material goods and customs of the West. (Reviewed 9/27)-R.S. Flyboys WWI, doncha know. The spf/x look terrific, but the story is as old as the period it pilfers. The Guardian Ashton Kutcher and Kevin Costner together again for the first time. An action thriller about Coast Guard rescue swim­mers with a PG-13 rating. Gridiron Gang The Rock coaches a bunch of losers, and guess what? You can just imagine. 'i'The Illusionist Neil Burger's The Illusion­ist is one of Ed Norton's best screen perform­ances-a smart, elegant-looking period piece in which Norton plays Eisenheim, a master magician who seems to be able to manipulate space and time. Therefore he seems to be a threat to the Viennese police chief (Paul Gia­matti) hoping to sniff out a scam. Then there's the nasty, smart and lethal Prince Leopold ( the ideal Rufus Sewell role), who's in lust with the same love object Uessica Biel) as is Mr. Magic. Highly recommended. (Reviewed 9/20)-B.G. Invincible Footballer starring Marky Mark Wahlberg. Inspirational, we're told. 'i' Jackass Number Two Ontology begets Scatology: Or at least it does in Johnny

Viva Pedro! Pedro Almodovar Film Retrospective

Knoxville's cosmology. Johnny and his cohorts go balls out in this down-and-dirty sequel. The Last Kiss Working off a Paul Haggis (Crash) script, itself an adaptation of the Ital­ian film L'ultimo Bacio, The Last Kiss demon­strates in excruciating detail the lives of navel­gazing bourgeois 20-somethings with a fear of adulthood. But unlike Zach Braff's pleasing Garden State, it becomes less a movie and more of a patience-endurance test. (Reviewed 9/20)-R.S. 'i'Uttle Miss Sunshine Little Miss Sunshine should have been a quirky, dark dysfunction­al family comedy, but strangely, it doesn't seem to know what type of humor it wants to deploy. At times, there are actions in the plot that are so out of character (and reality for that matter) that it makes Snakes on a Plane look downright plausible. But it gets some things right and the film has the best ensemble cast of the summer. (Reviewed 8/23)-R.S. Open Season Anticipated animationer about a bear and a mule deer. Voices by Gary Sinise, Jon Favreau and, yes, Ashton Kutcher. The Protector Is this the newest martial arts sensation? Quentin Tarantino thinks so, he lent the actioner his name. School for Scoundrels Unscrupulous confi­dence-building courses, low self-esteem and a cast including Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) and Michael Clarke Duncan. 'i' Snakes on a Plllle Is this movie more than just a funny title and a World Wide Web fad? Surprisingly, it delivers. Snakes on a Plane is the fun, howling dumb (but not lame), cheese­fest that is promised. All things considered though, things could have been more fun. Make no mistake, this is a straight-to-DVD movie with a bigger budget, a few higher cal­iber actors and slightly wittier lines. But if the title gives you the ironic giggles, you'll have a good enough time. (Reviewed 8/23) -R.S. Step Up They dance, they sing, they fall in love-it's this generation's love story, we're told. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Begin, nlng How did, in 1969, the monster Leather­face become Leatherface? This movie tells all: splatter and goo all the way.

One of Spain's most prolific filmmakers, Pedro Almodovar's films are unique in vision and compelling in detail. His films explore the relationships that form under incredible and improbable circumstances while accenting these stories with

melodrama, high camp, dart humoi sexuality and poignancy.

MALIA LEINAU

Cheaper dim sum, better service

Deals on

NAPUA LEONG

The storied establish­ments with name recognition and lots of press in the restau­rant world will al­

ways have, lurking in their shadows, restaurants that may be a few notch­es down on decor and price but on par with quality. Fook Lam Seafood Restaurant is one of these, just north of the more famous Legend Seafood Restaurant in the riverfront row of restaurants in the Chinatown Cultur­al Plaza. Weekends bring dim sum crowds that will wait close to an hour for a table. The dining room is cramped and plain: white table­cloths and maroon chairs, single note paintings of flowers, fish. But the prices are lower ($1.90 for medi­um dishes and $2.75 for large), and the dim sum just as tasty as at some of the more well-known restaurants around town.

The siu mai was superior, with prominent curls of shrimp and juicy chunks of pork. Unfortunately, a shard of bone in one ruined its top ranking. Should you opt to gnaw on bones intentionally, try the black bean pork spareribs, with little meat and lots of flavor. Black bean chick­en feet and pig's feet with bean curd fall in that category, too.

The seafood dishes feature quali­ty fillings. Shrimp dumplings en­close large.just-cooked shrimp, and there are wrapper-less shrimp balls bedded with black mushrooms. A bite into the chive dumplings unex­pectedly reveals more than the name suggests: shrimp and bamboo shoots. Of the (wo rolls wrapped with l <' 1n curd k.m, the one filled with delicate poi. ·,is slightly better than the seafood one.

The cart of fried and baked items can be either wonderful or lacklus­ter, depending on the time they've spent touring the dining room before they arrive on the tabletop. Nori-

wrapped shrimp are excellent hot, clunky when cold. Hot deep-fried shrimp gau are an addicting balance between crunchy ruffled wrapper and shrimp filling and, despite an accompanying dipper of mayon­naise, are made for dunking in a chili-paste and soy sauce mixture procured from the condiments pots on the table.

The taro gok, deep-fried footballs of mashed taro filled with star anise spiced pork, aces the taste-texture­presentation tests. While most dim sum dishes are not garnished and come to the table straight in their cooking baskets, this is one of a few striking dishes. The crisped, golden threadlike peaks on the outside made the table pause in admiration. In the mouth the wispy exterior was the textural antipode of the comfort­ing taro mash that gave way to warm filling.

Sweet sesame balls and crispy egg cream buns are worth snagging from this cart, too. Baked char siu bao, browned with an unexpected sweet glaze, unfortunately came a bit underdone and doughy, so that after a collective first bite it stuck to the backs of our front teeth, but we finished them anyway.

At the beginning of the meal, re­quest the fried and baked dishes that you want so the servers can bring them out hot as they're prepared in staggered batches.

You can also order noodle dishes, including a handful of filled look fun rolls-fresh scallop, shrimp, beef, char siu, seafood-glistening with soy sauce and just pliant enough. A specialty look funn with black bean pork spareribs is presented uncov­ered in a little clay pot. Our server recommended the bouse specialty e­mein ($7 .95), springy and buoyant and braised with sliced chicken, black mushrooms, still-crunchy pea pods and little bits of ginger.

The cashier jovially advised that diners should ask their servers

eels

what's new and what's not on the menu. It's one of a few places on the island serving Shanghai-style soup dumplings, a feat of physics where­by soup leaves the bowl. Rich broth and ground pork are encased in pinched dumpling skins and served with red vinegar.

A dining companion who had never had dim sum remarked, ''The service was pretty good-except for the water." He nodded at the glass that had remained empty since he'd drained it at the start of the meal. I pointed out that eating dim sum is also called yum cha, or "drink tea," and that only a smattering of tables even had water glasses. I've had to ask for water at most dim sum restaurants in Honolulu. Impressive­ly, sizing us up as non-native in the practice of yum cha, we had barely been seated when our server brought us water automatically along with the expected pot of tea.

This gesture was a metonymy for the overall service, better than that of most counterparts. At larger restau­rants, diners practically have to build chopstick roadblocks to halt the cir­culating carts, and specially request­ed dishes ljten go forgotten. Here, our server was not merely accom­modating but actually hospitable, thinking of something we might like and bringing it over, unsolicited, to offer it to the table. •

AmEx, Disc, MC, V A Taste of New York is O'ahu's closest thing to a bite of a Big Apple deli, serv­ing overstuffed Reubens and Eisen­berg's corned beef from Chicago. Fif­teen bucks may seem steep to Honolulu­ans used to paying $2 for a thin teri-beef sandwich, but these monsters come loaded with 11 ounces of meat. At night the deli becomes a steakhouse, where again you get what you pay for. Must try: house-made cheesecake. Based on a recipe from New York's Carnegie Deli, it's not too sweet and the flavorful ·crust melts in the mouth.

Live, local catch As the onset of fall has mainland chefs

scouring their local greenmarkets for fridgeloads of persimmons, brussel sprouts, chanterelle mushrooms, bi-col­ored corn and oysters, here we're in the second month of the local season for Kona crab and lobster.

From Septemberthrough April, Kona crab is a seasonal fixture at Nakashima Fish Market in Chinatown. Manager Alan Nakashima's mother works the fish count­er and his father Hiroshi is the fisherman, boating to catch the crabs at Penguin Bank in the Moloka'i channel. Unlike lobsters that like reef and rocky habitats, "these can be found in the sandy areas, and we only catch the males," the younger Nakashima says. Nakashima cautions buy­ers that the label Kona Crab can be mis­leading, as many of the crabs being sold as such in the Islands are the same species {Ranina ranina) but are actually imported frozen from Australia, where they're known as Spanner crabs.

Kiawe Grill BBQ & Burgers

NAPUALEONG

At the market the crabs are kept in tanks and brought out for the buyer's in­spection in a shallow blue plastic tub propped up between crates of papayas. They're sold by the pound ($7.95 recently), and chilled crabs are available on ice for a slightly lower price. Nakashima says the average crab they sell is about 1.75 pounds, and the largest they've caught was about 4pounds.

While Nakashima often sells to Japan­ese restaurants, Kona crabs may be easier to handle than other types for the home cook {or the home eater, since these are a raw delicacy, too). With a carapace more vertical than horizontal, the crabs move not sideways but forward and backward, and have small claws that don't need bind­ing. Unlike swamp-colored Dungeness and Samoan crabs, Kona crab is one of the few species that are already bright orange red before cooking; after cooking the shell simply turns more vivid, encasing uncom­monly sweet meat. -Napua Leong Nakashima Ash Market, Oahu Market Stalls 5 and 6, 145 N King St, 536-4063

Kobe style (Wagyu beef) Burger with cheese is a standout. Burger zealots will note that this sandwich is thoughtfully structured: Cheese meltingly adheres bottom bun to hot burger, which is stacked with onion, tomato, iceberg let­tuce and held in place by a mayo-slicked top bun. The superior patty has a charred deep brown crust that can only come from grilling and a resonant overtone of hardwood smoke that can only come from the namesake kiawe-fueled fire.

A ccoril.ing to the History Channel's The History of Sex, the ancient Ro­mans ate a specific plant for birth control purpos­

es. It was described as being enor­mously effective, to the extent that it was extinct by the fall of the empire. I'm sure a quick Web search would tell me the story of a worthless little herb, but I'd like to hear you weigh in on this long-lost miracle drug.

-Brett, Memphis

We need to clarify the logic here, Brett. The fact that the Romans ate a certain plant into extinction does­

n't tell us much. Today tigers and rhinoceroses are hunted to the brink of oblivion because the tiger's penis and rhino's horn are thought to re­store flagging virility. The fact that a lot of mopes desperately want to be­lieve something doesn't mean it works.

About that herb. Long before hip­pies thought hemp could solve all the world's problems, Romans used an alleged wonder plant of the carrot and parsley family called silphium. It was a sort of giant fennel that grew wild near Cyrene, an ancient

coastal city in North Africa. Silphi­um had many uses_:_perfume from its flowers, food·from its stalk and medicine from i.f!i iutce (or resin) and roots. The Roipans didn't dis­cover the plant's properties-there's evidence the Greeks and Egyptians us~ it as a contraceptive as early as the seventh century BC on the ad­vice of physicians, who recom­mended a monthly dose that mixed a lump of resin the size of a chick­pea with water. The Roman scholar Pliny the Elder described use of the resin (called laser or laserpicium) "with soft wool as a pessary to pro­mote the menstrual discharge." Menstrual discharge, of course, means no pregnancy. One physician in the second century AD named Soranus claimed a special recipe us­ing silphium had been used to termi­nate pregnancies. In "Contraception and Abortion from the Ancient World to the Renaissance" (1992), medical historian John Riddle claims that modem studies show the recipe anq others like it would work.

Did they? The possibility can't be ruled out. A long list of herbs must be avoided during pregnancy be­cause they're abortifacients, causing contractions or damage to the lining • of the uterus. If taken as ancient

writers claimed, silphium might have worked as a monthly morning­after pill. Other items touted as con­traceptives in antiquity include wild carrot (a silphium relative also known as Queen Anne's lace), pen­nyroyal and pomegranate. In small doses many of these are known to stimulate menstrual flow,just as sil­phium is supposed to have done. But some, pennyroyal for one, are poisonous-and if the abortion fails to occur, the infant can suffer birth defects.

Demographic studies suggest that the Roman world should have had a population explosion due to a low disease rate, plentiful food and rela­tively few civilian war deaths. Some have seized on the fact that it didn't as evidence that people of the era had access to effective birth control.

where it grew wild. Given the diffi­culty of growing it, the size of the contraceptive dose and the number of peopl~. using the.:plant for other reasons, it was clear even to the an­cienti that it was headed for extinc-· tion, and the Cyreneans laid down strict rules regarding the silphium harvest. ·

percent success rate in preventing implantation of fertilized eggs in rats, and it's nearly 100 percent ef­fective when fed to them within three days of mating. Likewise, studies of wild carrot have shown that it blocks production of proges­terone, necessary for the uterus lin­ing to maintain the fetus. The seeds of Queen Anne's lace are still used as a birth control method today. Plausible as all this sounds, one can't help raising a few objections, the most obvious being that positing a successful, society-wide planned­parenthood program that endured for centuries on the basis of a few rat experiments is a mighty long leap.

Nonetheless, by tne end of the first century AD silphium was no more. (The last piece·reputedly was eaten by the emperor Nero, evident­ly unclear on the concept of men­strual flow.) After silphium disap­peared asafetida was used as a re­placement, imported from what are now Iran, Iraq and Syria. Already used by the poor because it was cheaper and more plentiful than sil­phium, asafetida was considered in­ferior from both a culinary and me-

. dicinal standpoint. Silphium may not have vanished from the face of the earth, though; some believe it was the plant now known as Ferula tingitana, a giant fennel that has re­turned to North Africa. Experiment if you like on your next trip to Libya; personally, I'd stick with the pill.

Comments, questions? Take it up with Cecil on the Straight Dope Message Board, www.straight­dope.com, or write him at the Chicago Reader, 11 E. Illinois, Chicago 60611. Cecil's most recent compendium of knowledge, Tri­umph of the Straight Dope, is avail­able at bookstores everywhere.

Whether it was effective or not, silphium certainly was a popular plant: Almost impossible to culti­vate, it became the main source of economic power for Cyrene, a Greek colony in what's now Libya,

Mind Body Spirit

~H.hOLOGV by Rob Brezsny ••••••••

(March 21-April 19) According to the Midwest Book Review, David Foster Wallace's 1,088-page book Infinite Jest is "perhaps the most innovative novel in the English language since James Joyce's Ulysses." The Review of Contemporary Fic­tion calls Infinite Jest a vast comic epic, adding that it's "so brilliant you need sunglass­es to read it." On the other hand, critic Dan Schneider ( Cosmoetica.com) believes infinite Jest "might be the worst novel ever written." I expect that there will be a similar diversity of opinion about you and your efforts in the com­ing week, Aries. My advice? Ignore everyone's assessment but your own and that of the per­son who knows you best

(April 20-May 20) Roy Rivenburg writes in the L.A. Times that there has recently been a rash of mannequin assaults. He cites four people who have been struck by falling dummies while shopping in clothes stores. For example, one victim was bit in the bead by a mannequin's arm when a clerk tried to remove its shirt. I mention this for two reasons, Taurus. First, the planets are aligned in such a way as to suggest that you could, if you're not careful, get in a tangle with a doll, statue, puppet, robot or scarecrow In the coming week Second, you should mini­mire your interactions with anyone whose ex­pression never changes, whose behavior seems mechanical or whose actions seem controlled by someone else.

GtffilNI {May 21-June 20) Growing up In Montreal, musician Rufus Wainwright was steeped In the •que of that city's legendary songwriter Leonard C.Ohen. As a young adult, Wainwright finally got to meet C.Ohen. The great man's daughter brought him to her family's home. To Wainwright's sur­prise, Cohen was in bis underwear In the kitchen cooking up tiny sausages, which he was chewing, regurgitating and feeding to a weak baby bird he had found and was trying to revive. I predict that you'll soon have a compa­rable experience, Gemini: A revered source of magic and myth will confound your fantasies in a poignant and delightful way. You may even cry with amazement and laugh with moutnful bliss. (Thanks to the film I'm Your Man for Wainwright's story.)

c.nNCI~ {June 21-July 22): "It's my job to be emotional," rock music god­dess Bjork told Nylon magazine. "Doctors cure diseases and shoemakers make shoes. It's my job to go through emotions and de­scribe them to other people." By my astrolog­ical reckoning, this is also an @t description of the role you should play in the coming weeks, my fellow Cancerian. It's a perfect time for you to commune with every feeling on your vast palette, as well as to add some new colors and textures you've never imagined before. One more piece of advice: As you express the richness of your inner world to interested par­ties, be artistic and entertaining, never self-in­dulgent or sloppy.

LIO (July 23-Aug. 22) Here's some advice I bet you woo/.! get from any other astrologer, therapist, ot counselor: Get ungrounded for a while. You heard me, Leo. Detach from your moorings. Sail up into the stratosphere and exult in having your head In the clouds. Be dreamy and floaty and airy­fairy ( e.xcept when driving or operating heavy machinery, of course). For best results, you might also want to throw off your chains.

Vl~GO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Astute salesmen from the British store Fort­num & Mason took full advantage of the Crimean War back in the 1850s. They sold picnic lunches to officers who were leading the battles at the siege of Sebastapol on the Black Sea coast. In the coming weeks, Vrrgo, you too can capitalize on a conflict you're not

(Sept. 23-0ct. 22) You're renowned for your balancing acts, Li­bra. Seeing both sides of every story is your specialty. Striving to make opposites attract is an inclination you were born to cultivate. You may not always be in the mood to fight for har­mony, and you may not always succeed at maintaining equilibrium, but you work harder at these fine arts than any other sign of the zo­diac. Having said all that, though, I will now advise you to rebel against your usual shtick. It's time for you to try out a new unbalancing act-to go to extremes without worrying about covering your ass. The cosmos is giving you permission to be unapologetically viva­cious and mischievously blunt as you say, "It's my way or the highway." (P.S. You might want to study the style of your Aries acquaintances.)

SCO~PIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Medical researchers have discovered an inno­vative technique for fighting brain cancer: ra­dioactive scorpion venom. Injected into tu­mors, it attacks the malignancy with remark­able efficiency. I mention this, Scorpio, be­cause it's a good metaphor for an opportunity that's now presenting itself to you. If invoked and applied In small doses, a normally toxic part of your Scorpio nature can catalyze a breakthrough that will lead to a deep healing.

rnGmt~IUS {Nov. 22-Dec. 21) This would be a perfect moment to fly to Afghanistan and volunteer to play with refugee children .whose mothers are suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. It would also be an excellent time to bring vitality and wis­dom to a dispute among your family members that's challenging for you to deal with. In fact, pretty much anything you do to help people who are dilficuh to help would, in war.; impos­sible to foresee, energize your own ambitions. Being a humble, selfless saint for a while would turn out to be a tremendous spur to your personal goals.

c.nP~ICOIN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) My Hollywood spies tell me that one of the new products placed In the gift bags for the celebrities at the Emmy Awards show was Oxyfresh's Pet Oral Hygiene Solution, a brealh­fresbening spray for dog.s, cats, monkeys and other beloved animals. It would be a good week, astrologically speaking, for you to ob­tain this product for the creatures in your life. More than that, though, it will also be a favor­able time for you to scout out promotional op­portunities for your own unique product or talent. How can you get your specialty into the hands of ripe prospects who don't know about it yet?

.nou.n~ius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) King Ludwig Il of Bavaria (1845-1886) was de­posed after being designated as insane by a team of psychiatrists. Among the evidence they cited as proof that Ludwig was crazy were his blueprints for a flying vehicle that would re­semble a peacock In recent months, however, a German engineer named Dalibor Karacic has examined Mad King Ludwig's plans and de­clared that they are feasible. The steam-pow­ered peacock would have indeed been capable of flight Ludwig, says Karacic, was ahead of his time. Take heart from this correction, Aquar­ius. If you relentlessly nurture your faith In your frontier ideas-notions that others might call fairy tales-you will ultimately be vindicated.

PIS(U (Feb. 19-March 20) Your addiction is obstructing you from your destiny, and yet it's also your ally. How can both be true? On the downside, your addiction diverts your energy from a deeper desire that it superficially resembles. For instan~e, if you're an alcoholic, your urge to get loaded is probably an inferior substitute for and a poor '., imitation of yonr buried longing to commune with spiritual mysteries. On the upside, your addiction is also your ally, because it dares you to get strong and smart enough to wrestle free of its grip on you; it pus~es you to summon the fierce willpower necessary to defeat the dark­ness within you that would obstruct you from your destiny. (P.S. Don't tell me you have no addictions. Each of us is addicted to some sen­sation, feeling, thought or action, if not to an actual substance.)
