Down by Law After being in the entertainment

business all my adult life, I have taken the criticism against my events and myself with the territory. However, I must make an exception to Honolulu Weekt/s Nov. 5 ~'.C1ubbcJ to Death" column ("A loose confederation of the original").

I am sorry that [Matt Uiagalelei,] the writer of this column, wasn't "gargling sake" in New York, and had to do some real reporting in Honolulu. The fact that the writer thought the the "Superheros" Halloween theme at Wave Waikiki was "kind of a lame one" is perfectly OK with me; he is entitled to his opinion (although over 700 paying customers thought otherwise), but for the writer to state the driving force of this theme was so I could get "male customers to run around in tights for an evening" is a criticism I can not leave unanswered, as a responsible business manager and as a commissioner of the "Hawai 'i Civil Rights Commission."

For the record, all themes for parties at both Hula's and Wave Waikiki, of which I am the managing owner of both clubs, comes from a consensus of our managers, promotion and art departments.

We consistently come up with the most extravagant original parties of any of the other clubs, and we've been doing it for over 23 years.

Additionally, the writer's comments

INDEPENDENT, LOCALLY OWNED

about Halloween at Hula's Bar & Lei Stand just being "more makeup, higher hair and higher heels, and lots of ... ass grabbing" is a slap at the gay community. Knowing the gay and nongay club scene, I can assure you there is no difference in how the two types of clientele acts, except the gays tend to be more mellow.

With the economy as it is, and us being a locally owned business - that is, we are not a Mainland spin-off or franchise - how about giving credit where credit is due? The Wave and Hula's have survived because we have been able to deliver to the marketplace what the majority of clubgoing customers want, which has allowed us to be able to pay our employees month after month and year after year. We do it because we are here to stay, and we love Honolulu.

Cynical appeal I feel compelled to write after read

ing the letter to the editor from Erin Hart about Mark Chittom's writing in "Clubbed to Death" ("On target," .Hw, 10/22). Her writing shows her to be a very opinionated person, which is welcome as long as you have an idea what you're talking about. She does seem well versed in English, which is probably her major, but her knowledge of marketing is sorely lacking.

Honolulu Weekly is full of grammatical errors on a regular basis. I agree that the Weekly should be more thoroughly examined, but the editing problem is not unique to this publication. I find these errors all over, even in Hawai'i's daily newspapers.

I agree with Ms. Hart on that point, but I have to vehemently disagree on another. With the statement, ''I believe that in order to improve the 'Clubbed to Death' column, you may well be advised to take Mr. Chittom off your payroll," she shows her ignorance in the area of marketing. It seems to be the cynicism in Mr. Chittom's writing that bothers Ms. Hart, but that is exactly the thing that appeals to 20-somethings. Sarcasm and cynicism are the best ways to get the attention of a group that grew up surrounded by so many different media. Mr. Chittom uses these tools well, and judging by the number of letters to the editor that are written about him, he has his audience's attention.

'Mr. Chittom is a valuable asset to this publication. I know many people who flip the Weekly open to his article and never read the rest of the paper. So, don't listen to the babbling of people like Ms. Hart; you can't afford to lose a writer with so much direction and style.

Clandestine committee

Why is the State rushing to settle with ka po'e Hawai'i? Its act 329 negates Act 304, which promises Native Hawaiians 20 percent of the ceded land revenues, has the Office of Hawaiian Affairs paying one million dollars towards the cost of the inventory of these lands, sets up a joint committee that will work in secret and is stacked against the OHA representatives. Ostensibly, Act 329 seeks a "comprehensive, just, and lasting resolution of outstanding issues relating to Native Hawaiians." Do the 50 percent-plus Native Hawaiians lose out entirely? Why are there no real beneficiaries on this clandestine committee?

Why is the Office of Hawaiian Affairs rushing to hire a team "to

. advise on OHA's retroactive entitlement of approximately $500,000,000 due from the State ofHawai'i? A settlement package may include cash, state lands, and options to obtain surplus Federal lands" (from OHA's request for proposals). Doesn't the Heely Decision expand Hawaiian entitlements?

Did I hear that the initial cost for this team of expert engineers, appraisers, financial analysts capable of creative bonds (as the state is in dire financial need and can't float regular revenue bonds, as their bond rating would plummet, and they would be forced to pay higher interest rates) is $5 million? Was it the firm that does $37 trillion in business, the one who asked for 5 percent over anything they negotiate over $500 million?

Or are the whispers of the drums which warn ka po'e that their true rights that encompass more than the land, true sovereignty, are being undermined? Are those in the know guilty of a fraud bigger than the statehood vote inadequacies? The drums say, "Arm yourselves with knowledge. Look to the law."

Internet Radio Freedom

I was pleased to see your article about radio on the Internet featured as the cover story of a recent Weekly issue ("World Wide RADio," .Hw, 10/8). While I felt the article lingered a little too long on sound clips on the Internet as opposed to actual Internet Radio, it covered the bases fully.

The emergence of media other than text and images on the Internet, with time, will revolutionize the enter-

tainment industry. Audio and video on demand- what you want, when you want, and most likely for free - is something that surely scares the commercial sector. Since Radio Free Hawai 'i went off air, I am loath to listen to other stations. My solution while at home has been to tune into Internet radio stations. My personal favorite is Kiss 100 FM (pnm://elephants-head-s I .springboard.net/kiss 100-288.ra) broadcast 24/7 through RealAudio. Another pick is BBC Radio 1 's Listening Booth (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio 1/), which has hours of its shows archived in RealAudio.

For someone to be able to connect

to the net and listen to a radio station across the world makes for one heck of an audience for that station. But, more importantly, one day it'll make for one heck of a choice of music to listen to.

FACE-off A call for commitment from pub

lic officials to address drug and crime problems in the Kalihi-Palama neighborhood got a mixed reaction from the Honolulu Police Department this month.

Faith in Action for Community Equity, an organization that binds religious congregations together for activist goals, called a meeting Nov. 13 to focus on "long-term solutions to reduce crime in neighborhoods and communities within police District Five." FACE chainnan Rev. Alan Mark said City Council members Duke Bainum, Donna Mercado Kim, John Henry Felix and Jon Yoshimura signed a letter prepared by FACE, supporting the creation of a task force on the subject. But HPD declined to sign on at the meeting.

"The council members signed on to a letter of intent symbolizing that they were willing to work with us, but the police officers were a little reticent," Mark said.

Maj. Steven Watarai, commander of HPD's District Five, which includes the Kalihi-Palama area, said the letter offered to HPD differed substantially from the letter signed by Council members. It specified that the police department should hire more minority officers, change recruitment procedures and beat assignments, and give special hiring preferences to people from District Five.

"When we brought it up with our supervisors, they said we shouldn't sign the document until the city had more time to review it," Watarai related.

The police representative added that HPD has no problem working with FACE to address crime in the community, and in fact the department has been doing so for some time.

Rev. Mark responded that community policing efforts in the neighborhood have had some success, but he maintains that the police department needs to do more. "Signing the letter of intent was to indicate willingness to be part of this working process," the FACE chair said. ''The details will come much later."

''The signature is just a symbol," Watarai said. 'Tm committing my district and all its resources to fighting crime in the neighborhood and helping the community. We've been doing this since 1992. Because we don't sign or because you don't agree with our policies, does that mean we don't help the community?"

Watarai emphasized that any decision to commit to the broad policy changes described in the FACE proposal would have to come from higher-ups.

"They couldn't understand why we didn't sign," Watarai said. ''We're a government agency - I have a boss, and if he instructs us not to sign until he has a chance to review it, that's it."

Mark said that what FACE was really fishing for was a gesture of commitment on the part of the police department to addressing the issues FACE feels are most important to the community.

"We want to say, how serious are you?" Mark said. "And if you are

serious, then a signature would sym- Iezza and the BOP had been deleted. bolize our coming together." "It's been established that the board

Censorious maneuver

The 1997 student-funded UHManoa Student Handbook was printed in July, but chances are you didn't see it. The University of Hawai'i Board of Publications spiked the book, edited by Joshua Cooper, a UH political science graduate student and campus activist, and is now facing a fluny of charges that it tampered with the First Amendment rights of the handbook's student editors.

Board of Publications chair Barron Iwamura said the board's action was taken because "in its role as publisher, the board has strong feelings that the handbook was not worthy to give to students."

"We believe we did the right thing not to distribute the handbook," Iwamura said. "Nearly every page of the book had some problem with spelling, grammar and error of fact."

Iwamura said political views contained in the handbook, including Cooper's call for students to protest tuition hikes and Marriott's cafeteria food, had no influence on the board's decision to suspend distribution. About 800 handbooks were distributed before the Board of Publications shredded the remaining 13,000 copies.

"The only problems we had with content were the factual errors and out-of-date information," Iwamura said. "He took items from the 1995 handbook and didn't even update the information."

An independent campus student newspaper, aVenue, questioned whether the student-funded handbook is a protected vehicle of student expression in its September issue.

"It's upsetting to see the administration try to eliminate a vehicle of free speech," a Venue editor William Matsuda said.

The 1998 Student Handbook editor, Cora Iezza, also criticized the Board of Publication 's action at a meeting Oct. 19. Iezza disagreed with the board's desire to review the content of her work prior to printing, and told the board it had violated Cooper's First Amendment rights and the rights of UH-Manoa students.

"We haven't heard from Cooper," Iwamura responded. "Those were Iezza's speculative opinions. She didn't have the authority to speak on Joshua [Cooper]'s behalf."

Iezza also presented an opinion from the Student Press Law Center, a national free-speech watchdog organization, that case law establishes First Amendment protection for a publication such as the UH handbook, but Iwamura dismissed the organization's stance.

"They are advocates of freedom of expression and free speech," Iwamura said. ''They'll dig up any case they can find to prove their case. I haven't seen anything that protects student handbooks."

Nevertheless, Iezza won the battle to maintain editorial control of the 1998 handbook without prior review by a (newly formed) BOP Review Committee. Iwamura said a provision that required prior review in the memorandum of agreement between

can't require a review of [Iezza's] work prior to going to press," lwamura said. "She had free reign over her book."

But some legal questions remain unanswered. Since the BOP assumes no legal responsibility for libelous editorial or advertising content of three student-funded publications, Ka Leo O Hawai'i, Hawai'i Review and the Student Handbook, what entity is actually the publisher, with final call over the editing? Was the suspended distribution and shredding of Cooper's handbook a form of censorship by the UH administrators? Will the Board of Publications take the same action if UH administrators are unhappy with the Iezza's editorial content?

"The BOP used to have a handbook committee that told the editor what to do, but it died," lwamura commented. "Before 1990, the oversight committee controlled the content, but the committee fell by the wayside.

"The extremes of Cooper's handbook have brought back the need for an oversight committee," he said. "The steps for control aren't in place now, but the guidelines are outlined in the BOP's by-laws."

Gingrich calling Attorney Richard Pafundi was sur

prised to receive a phone call from Washington, D.C. at his Honolulu office a few weeks back. The caller identified herself as an assistant to Congressman Newt Gingrich, and asked if she could play an important message from the Speaker of the House. It was no joke: With a voice, demeanor, and ideology that were clearly Newt's, the tape-recorded message bashed the Internal Revenue Service and urged support for proposed legislation that would limit its alleged abuses of power (a subject Gingrich is presumably expert on). After several minutes of the Speaker's taped haranguing, it was back to Gingrich's aide,\\ ho hit the stunned Pafundi up for $250 for the campaign to alter the IRS. In exchange for the donation, Pafundi would be named Hawai 'i honorary chair of the antiIRS crusade and would receive a replica of the Speaker's gavel.

Pafundi - who says he "never contributed to a political campaign in my life" - asked the fund-raiser how she came to obtain his name and number. The caller replied that Pafundi' s name was selected from a random list of Hawai 'i professionals.

When he was a defense attorney in the 1980s and early 1990s, Pafundi received prominent media coverage for some high profile criminal cases. A native New Yorker and longtime Hawai 'i resident; he currently handles personal injury cases. The apolitical attorney politely turned down the solicitation for funds, but in true lawyerly fashion gave the caller a referral to a Republican colleague.

Susan Miller ("Censorious mm1euver"), Ed Rampell ("Gingrich calling") and Dave Richardson ("FA CE-off") contributed to this week's "Honolulu Diary."

News

What do you get when you mix failed relationships, children and child support? More trouble, when you don't pay.

Deadbeat Dread PATRICIA GIBBS

etween 12,000 and 18,000 parents, mostly men, in Hawai 'i at any one time owe court-ordered child support, but do not pay it, either on a regular basis or at all. The rate for non-com-

pliance in this state and nationwide is 80 percent- that is, only 20 percent of those who owe, pay. Not a great success rate, is it?

The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 ( or Welfare Reform Act) required states to write laws that would penalize parents who don't pay their child support. The new tactic that's been settled on for this punishment is license suspension. And we're not just talking drivers' licenses, either; in the near future, parents who don't pay child support could lose their right to practice law, medicine and other professions as well.

In 1997, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 1266, and Governor Ben Cayetano signed it into law in Act 293. The new License Suspension Law was passed to encourage parents to take full financial responsibility for their children; it is aimed at people who are non-custodial, noncompliant parents (persons who are not taking financial or other legal responsibilities for their children).

~1r Some of the criticism of the

Welfare Reform Act has been focused on its tendency to place responsibility for children on their custodial parents - women, for the most part. At the same time, this "reform" cuts deeply into parents' ability to care for their children, by reducing and often eliminating their ability to qualify for government assistance. With most estranged, non-child-supportpaying parents being male, the new law now promises to focus its attention squarely on men behaving badly.

According to state Child Support Enforcement Agency representatives, there is no one "profile" of a non-

custodial, non-compliant person, although 80 percent to 85 percent of them are male. They come from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds, class levels and occupations.

Michael Meaney, adrninistrator of the Child Support Enforcement Agency, says, 'They run the gamut from those who are unemployed to people who actively hide their money."

Most parents who seek help from the agency to obtain child support are not even on welfare. Says Meaney, "Our welfare caseload is only 25 percent of all cases; 75 percent are not on welfare. Here we have seen a real change from 10 years ago, where almost 100 percent of our clients were welfare recipients. Now it's getting more and more difficult to qualify for welfare. Along with that; we've seen a terrific rise in the amount of professionals as non-compliant parents."

H ow will the License Suspension Law work? It hurts most first in the driver's seat, then in the license to work. Beginning January 1, 1998, the Child

Support Enforcement Agency will begin suspending the driver's licenses of those parents who are three months behind with their financial or other legal obligations to their children.

The law also allows the agency to recommend suspension of other licenses - vocational, professional and even recreational - that are issued by the state of Hawai 'i, if a person is six months delinquent.

Now, the state licenses a whole host of jobs - a short list of which includes those for practicing lawyers, doctors, CPAs, barbers, hairstylists, masseurs, tour drivers, real estate agents, nurses, medical technologists, architects, travel agents, plumbers, insurance agents, contractors, electricians and many others.

Hawai 'i is one of the last states to initiate the law. Some other states have had a similar law for 10 years.

Bob Norton, information specialist with the Child Support Enforcement Agency, says the threat of losing your license or the threat of social censure is a great motivator for a lot of non-compliers. Cases in other states have created much notoriety. "For example," says Norton, "There was one case in Massachusetts where a very expensive yacht was shown with a 'Confiscated for Failure to Pay Child Support' notice on it. Another very public case in Washington state showed the arrest of a judge for noncompliance on the 6 o' clock news.

GRAPHICS/COURTESY CSEA

CHILD SUPPORT

LET'S TAKE CARE OF OUR KIDS

It can be quite embarrassing for professionals."

Meaney expects that the License Suspension Law may prove to be one of the more efficient laws enacted here. "In the beginning, it should have a very big effect. In the midrange time," he says, "it may replace a lot of work that other government services, such as regular law enforcement, does now. It will become quite evident that it's just not worth it not to pay."

W hat conditions have kept the non-compliance rates so high? First, the divorce rate is now 50 percent - a rate that equates to a rise in the

numbers of non-custodial parents (again, mostly men). Second, the economic realities of the modern era have resulted in much job turnover, forcing many to relocate- and making it more likely that child support will fall behind, and perhaps be left behind. Studies show that after divorce the non-custodial parent's standard of living typically rises, while the parents who keep the children experience downward mobility. There's an economic incentive in becoming a deadbeat, and some parents hide their assets or contest payments by foot-dragging in court.

Hawai 'i has a very high rate of private vehicle registration - some estimate that there are more cars on the road here per capita than anywhere else in the United States. Hitting noncompliant parents in the driver's seat may be more meaningful here, too. However, Meaney says, "From the official perspective, the goal is not to suspend anyone's license. The real goal is to encourage people to accept responsibility for their children."

Does it defeat the purpose to take someone's ability to do their jobs (and make money) away from them in the expectation that that will encourage them to pay up? Meaney responds, "First, if they're working now and still not paying, then this is a good enough deterrent to them to make them rethink paying. And second, people in traditional families suffer job loss and they find a way. This way, everyone else is paying the price for the non-compliant person. Many people don't realize that if you aren't paying for your responsibilities, the rest of your community is." •

L

e planned this edition of our quarterly book issue around books that shape the local culture - literary touchstones that truly articulate Hawai 'i. Our ambition was to arrive at a

canon, a list of universally acknowledged, great reference works about Hawai 'i that belong on every serious student's bookshelf.

We thought about the books we always turn to when we want to pin down a date, a name or a song. We started throwing titles around. One thought Doug Simonson 's Pidgin to da Max a seminal work - not exactly reference, but expressing Hawai 'i's contemporary culture better than any other. Another declared Native Lands & Foreign Desires by Kame'eleihiwa to be prime history. A third suggested Stearn's Geology of the State of Hawai'i \S the best way to grasp the Hawaiian landscape. (That book was out of print, we discovered.)

We decided to ask a handful of our knowledgeable bibliophilic friends what they thought. When in doubt, leave it to the experts.

Our enthusiastic panel came up with a list of 3 I books, including 10 that are currently out of print. They belong in your brain and on your bookshelf if you live in Hawai 'i. They do the hard work of spelling out the Islands' uniqueness. Read on. -Curt Sanbum

Really really OLD books Out-of-print, but still supreme, books

about Hawai 'i.

Compiling our experts' lists of must-have Hawaiiana for your bookshelf, we discovered that some of the best

reads are out of print- a sorry situation. Fortunately, O'ahu has a few used-book shops that make it their business to stock out-of-print and other hard-to-find titles. (You can also find out-ofprint books at the library.) We asked Rowland Reeve, a proprietor of Tusitala Bookshop, to come up with his choices for the top 10 most desir-

able, but out-of-print, local books. Here's what he came up with - based, he says, on customer demand and general editorial excellence. After completing the list, we discovered that one top pick, The Kumulipo, has just been reissued. Yourluck!

An Account of the Creation of the World According to Hawaiian Tradition Lili'uokalani

Lee and Shepard, 1897; reprinted as The Kumu/ipo: An Hawaiian Creation Myth, Pueo Press, 1978

It was during her years of imprisonment following the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy that Queen Lili 'uokalani undertook the first English translation of the Kumulipo, the most well-known of the great Hawaiian chants of creation. A gifted poet in her own right, the Queen rendered into English the beauty and power of the original chant.

Note: Rubellite Kawena Johnson's 1981 translation of the first two sections of the Kumulipo, Kumulipo: The Hawaiian Hymn of Creation, vol. I, is also out of print. Setting Johnson's book apart from previous translations were her detailed notes exploring the depths of meaning embedded within the chant.

Geology of the State of Hawai'i Harold T. Stearns

Pacific Books, 1966; 2nd edition, 1985

Last printed in 1985, Geology of the State of Hawai'i remains the layman's best primer on the geological evolution of the Hawaiian archipelago. Its detailed maps and illustrations bring to life the volcanic history of the Islands, giving us a glimpse back to the period when Kaua 'i was the southernmost island in the Hawaiian chain, or to the time when Maui, Moloka'i, Uina'i, and Kaho'olawe formed a single large island called Mauinui.

Hawai'i: A Pictorial History Joseph Feher

Bishop Museum Press, 1969

Feher's substantial volume presents a visual history of Hawai 'i from its geological birth to statehood. Early voyaging prints, a wealth of historic photographs and Feher's own vibrant drawings are accompanied by text by historian Edward Joesting and novelist 0. A. Bushnell.

Hawai'i's War Years Gwenfread Allen

University of Hawai'i Press, 1950; reprinted by Greenwood Press in 1971

Allen provides one of the best narrative histories of Hawai 'i during the Second World War. when the islands

served as the main staging area for war in the Pacific. Her book reveals how the territory coped with the very real threat of enemy invasion and the imposition of martial law, as well as the actual invasion by hundreds of thousands of American servicemen on their way to the front lines.

Hawaiian Music and Musicians: An Illustrated History George Kanahele

University of Hawai'i Press, 1979

An encyclopedic reference work covering all aspects of Hawaiian music both modern and traditional, Kanahele's book provides biographies of well-known local musicians and musical families, as well as articles on everything from the 'ukeke to the 'ukulele.

The Indigenous Trees of the Hawaiian Islands Joseph F. Rock

privately printed, 1913; reprinted by the Pacific Tropical Botanical Garden, 197 4

When Joseph Rock published his now-classic work, large stretches of relatively undisturbed native forest were still extant. Rock, however, noted the rampant exploitation of upland koa forests for cattle grazing and photographed the destruction. Eighty-four years later, despite Rock's warnings, only scattered remnants of these once great forests survive. Rock's spare descriptions and encyclopedic photographs help us comprehend not only the forest trees and plants themselves, but also the pristine ecosystems where the Islands' native flora once ruled.

Images of the Hula Boone Morrison & Malcolm Naea Chun

Summit Press, 1983

Boone Morrison's images are still the most powerful and evocative of the thousands of photographs taken of the contemporary hula. Malcolm Chun's text provides the illuminating context.

The Islands of Hawai'i Ansel Adams & Edward Joesting

Bishop National Bank of Hawai'i, limited edition, 1958 (later revised as An Introduction to Hawai'i, 5 Associates Press, 1964)

To help commemorate its 100th anniversary in I 958, Bishop National Bank (now First Hawaiian) brought acclaimed California photographer Ansel Adams to Hawai 'i and commissioned a suite of photos. The result of that visit was The Islands of Hawai 'i, a beautifully printed, limited-edition book combining Adams ' photographs with a text by historian Edward Joesting. Though not the best photographic book about the Islands, it is

Die Journals of Captain James Cook on His Voyages of Discovery James Cook (edited by J.C. Beaglehole)

Hakluyt Society, 1955

You would think that the first written account of the Hawaiian Islands would be something that publishers might want to keep in print. But no, the journals of British explorer Captain James Cook in their

and history he could gather from his elders - before time and Western imperialism obliterated the collective Hawaiian memory.

Kamakau's work provides probably the largest window we have now for viewing ka po'e kahiko, the people of old. But remember: Kamakau was writing for his people then, so they would know.

There are four main volumes in print that collect and translate Kamakau's writing. They are:

Ruling Chiefs of Hawai'i Kamehameha Schools/Bishop Estate, 1961;

revised 1991

entirety have been out of print for over 30 years. Cook's account of the expedition that opened the Islands to the Western world in l 778 portrays a Hawaiian culture and society untouched by Western contact. His wise and tolerant journals mark him as a sympathetic anthropologist, aware and regretful that his "discovery" will forever change what he has seen.

Hawaiian Dictiona111:

A chronology of Hawaiian political history from the time of the great chief 'Umi, through eight generations to the death of Kamehameha ill of smallpox in 1854. Karnakau describes the impact of the terrible contagion on Hawai'i: " ... the land is become empty; the old villages lie silent in a tangle of bushes and vines, haunted by ghosts and homed owls, frequented by goats and bats."

REVISES AND ENLARGED EDITION

Mary J(awena Pukui Samuel H. Elbert

Ellis)

Ellis, an English minister who came to Hawai 'i after spending five years in Tahiti, was one of the first missionaries to master the Hawaiian language. More tolerant than most of his brethren, he was an inquisitive traveler who toured the Big Island by foot and canoe and wrote everything down. His journal provides a unique glimpse of Big Island life in the period just after the overthrow of the kapu system.

Kamakau in a Nutshell Preserving the traditions, myths,

and legends of old Hawai 'i.

TONI HAN PALERMO

In the mid-19th century, a score of Hawaiian language newspapers fed the literary appetites of the kanaka maoli. The papers weren't just news and advertisements; readers were hugely edified by serialized, Hawaiian-language versions of Christian Bible stories and Greek and Roman mythology - even the adventures of Tarzan.

At about that time, politician and historian Samuel Manalakalani Kamakau (1815-1876) realized that the traditions, myths, and legends of old Hawai 'i were beginning to vanish, so he began to collect and publish the old stories in his spare time.

Born in Waialua and educated at Lahaina Luna School on Maui, Karnakau published over 300 articles in Hawaiian newspapers, covering all the stories, legends, customs,

Press, 1964

KaPo'e Kahiko; Die People of Old Bishop Museum

A detailed description of the secular, spiritual and cosmological order of the Hawaiian society. As a Christian convert, first a Protestant and then a Catholic, Karnakau wasn't above personal biases or interpretations, but this volume comes close to recreating the old beliefs and spiritual behaviors that were shared by all.

Na Hana a Ka Po'e Kahiko; The Works of the People of Old Bishop Museum Press, 1976

This describes the scientific knowledge used by Hawaiians in daily life for things like fishing, cultivation of crops, construction ofheiau and hale, kapa mak

ing and canoe making. Kamakau tells how Hawaiians could "read" the tides, waves, winds and the land itself.

Na Mo'olelo aka Po'e Kahiko; Die Tales and Traditions of the People of Old Bishop Museum Press, 1991

This concludes Kamakau's foursome. The volume mainly recounts the traditions, genealogies and chants of legendary early chiefs of Oahu and includes tales of travel to Tahiti, a study of the first man in Hawai 'i, and the story of Pa 'ao, the priest from New Zealand who built Mo'okini heiau at Kohala and Waha'ula heiau at Puna.

Note: After over a century of Kamakau's material appearing in edited translations, his original Hawaiian text is now being made available, starting with Ke Kumu Aupuni ('Ahahui 'Olelo Hawai 'i, 1996).

PUAKEA NOGELMEIER

The most productive Hawaiian scholar of this century, Mary Kawena Puku 'i (1895-1986) was raised and trained by her Hawaiian grandmother and later schooled in the Western tradition. Over the years, she developed a profound grasp of Hawaiian culture and language and their nuances, and she expressed her insights clearly. She became a living bridge between two cultures.

For most of her life, Kawena was cultural resource scholar for the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, where she assisted museum staff through her research, translations and field interviews. She also served the general public in matters of genealogy, translation and cultural interpretation. Her scores of publications, done on her own or in collaboration with other scholars, span her long career and include texts that any Hawai 'i resident should own - particularly these three literary touchstones of the Hawaiian cultural renaissance:

nearly 3,000 sayings carefully explained and cross indexed, this text provides an insight into Hawaiian culture that can't be matched by any narrative. As we look for a Hawaiian way of expressing an idea, an 'olelo no'eau, or artful phrase, is often more appropriate than a translated sentence.

One aspect of Hawaiian culture that affects every resident in these Islands is the wealth of Hawaiian names

Hawaiian Dictionary (with Elbert, University of Hawai ' i Press, 1986). Hawaiian lexicons began with the arrival of Cook's ships. Kawena's 30-year effort to compile and revise two centuries worth of notations on the Hawaiian language culminated in 1986 with the last publication of this work, the most eltiborate dictionary ever produced for a Pacific language. It contains almost 30,000 Hawaii!.Ul words, with multiple definitions, proper spelling and pronunciation guides for each, and examples of usage and cultural import. The English-to-Hawaiian section is an index to the greater Hawaiian portion of the book. While Hawaiian words surround us in names, places and music, this central reference text gives everyone access to the real meaning behind the words and the proper way to use them.

Several years ago, I met a young Filipino man at a talk given by Haunani Kay Trask. The man had taken several buses across town to get there. He told me he recently moved his wife, children, mother and grandmother from San Francisco to Honolulu because he felt that the Hawaiian sovereignty movement held the most hope for his family's future. He said he was anxious to be a part of change. I was impressed by this man's commitment to what Honolulu Weekly contributor Bob Rees has called the "moral imperative" of Hawaiian sovereignty.

Die Beaches of Hawai'i John R.K. Clark

University of Hawai'i Press

The Beaches ofHawai'i (1977), The Beaches of the Big Island (1985), The Beaches of Maui County (second ed., 1989) and The Beaches of Kaua 'i and Ni 'ihau (1990) make up one of the most prodigious and satisfying feats of local, scholarly research in recent memory. What's more, all that work is for the edification of beachcombers, sun worshipers, snorkelers and other outdoorsy types. Clark, a batallion chief in the Honolulu Fire Department and ocean-recreation consultant, spent a good part of his adult life happily researching the history, geography, water conditions and natural history of every strip of sand in the Islands. With full descriptions of each beach, and many black-and-white photographs, Clark's four-volume set is the definitive guide to , Hawai'i's most valuable resource: its beaches.

Conceived by its authors as a clearinghouse of information on pre-European archaeological and mythological sites on O'ahu, this straightforward and useful reference work accomplishes that and more.

Information relating to the ahupua'a and various landmarks is gathered from scattered sources, both published and unpublished, and lovingly assembled in scrapbook style.

Surfers can spend hours looking at waves, and this book recreates that experience to a monotonous fault. "It's too blue," complained one reader. Publisher Peter Cannon, who with photographer Blue Max and writers Charlie and Leslie Lyon produced the book, boasted that to print 30,000 copies they used two metric tons of ink, mostly blue. If the pictures make you hyperventilate, you're in good company. The book quotes copiously from the 20-odd watermen featured in the pictures, and they're

Thorough coverage of the Hawaiian marine environment, from geologic formation to species habitat and on through the full range of Hawaiian marine life.

est to some Weekly readers/land-use wonks: David Kimo Frankel's Protecting Paradise: A Citizen'.\' Guide to Land & Water Use in Hawai'i (Dolphin Publishers, 1997) is dull as dishwater - unless you and your community are about to get a golf course, gated development, power plant or marina that you don't want. Frankel, executive director of the Sierra Club's Hawai 'i chapter, clearly lays out state and federal land-use laws, including those that protect public access to decision-making. A much-needed workbook for citizens .... Joseph M. Farber's Ancient Hawaiian Fishponds: Can Restoration Succeed on Moloka 'i? (Neptune House Publications, 1997) is a wellresearched account of the plight of Molokai 'i's impressive collection of shoreline fishpoinds and the various attempts that have been made to restore them. Regulation, Farber feels, present the biggest barrier to returning fishponds to productivity. That, and the fact that few people alive today are willing to do the labor required to keep a fishpond humming.

Two important reference books that didn't make the panel's list: The Atlas of Hawai 'i (University of Hawai 'i Press, 1983) is a wonderful, colorful compendium of stuff, compiled by the UH Department of Geography. Unfortunately, the 1983 edition is hopelessly out of date, and we await the much-delayed publication of the third edition, now scheduled for September 1998 .... A good source for locating really obscure data such as "golf courses, by number of holes, ownership and islands" is The State of Hawai 'i Data Book, published annually by the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism.

Concerts Dynamic Duo

~ pposites attract? In the case of Amy Hanaiali'i Gilliom and Willie K, they not only attract, but compliment. Their indigenous,

· musical alliance is reminiscent of a fairy tal~, wherein a beautiful, angelicthroated heroine chances upon and succeeds in captivating the soul of the angry, misunderstood, guitar-shredding giant - a giant who possesses the King Midas touch each time his fingers graze his fret board. (Hawaiian Tradition, the duo's first recording effort, soared to number seven on the World Billboard charts earlier this year, making it the highest-ranked traditional Hawaiian album in Billboard history -not bad for an album that took two months to compose, rehearse and record.)

Willie's biker tendencies - he owns a Harley Davidson 1996 Badboy and a 1974 Shovel Lowrider he calls his ''wife" - mixed with his local style is no act. The black leather, frizzy hair, bandanna-capped persona naturally incorporates itself into his professional arena, conveying his rogue appearance with his kolohe attitude. But stepping on people's feet is not his concern, and if you don't condone his antics you can't deny the honest cracks he delivers via his dazzling, aggroguitar assaults.

At least, that was the "preAmy'' Willie K. Amy spearheads a refined attack based on discipline and tact.

Her professional protocol has been dictated by stints on stage and in theater, performing to etiquette-conscious crowds who wear proper evening attire, read programs knowingly and applaud at the appropriate intervals.

"I can see my influence rubbing off on Willie," Amy jokes. "He won't be showing up to play in his slippers and bandanna when we do our Prince tour."

Of course, the influence has worked both ways: "Willie's showed me how to entertain, to work the crowd, interact, make them laugh." Amy says.

"Our act reminds me of how my mother and father were on stage, joking around, make people feel like their in your home," Willie adds. He emphasizes that the essence of their connection is to be able to get over barriers, leaving egos at the door when creating, to be open-minded to any idea pertaining to the music, with mutual respect at the core of the collaboration.

And the collaboration has been a busy one: Amy just recorded a jazz demo, and the two have arranged a rhythm and blues show that they recently toured on the West Coast. They've been asked to make an encore at "The House of Blues." There's a movie project in the works. Willy's a regular on Thursday nights at the Row Bar.

And then there are the benefits gigs: Over the next four weeks, Amy and Willy will headline a series of benefits for the Ronald McDonald House here and on the neighbor islands. Go already! -Ric Valdez

~ ot so many years ago, one of the Week(y's esteemed editorial staff was parked on his bottom stage left in Sacramento, having an extended conversation with God

on the circular nature of time while the Grateful Dead's percussion duo of Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann hammered their way through the band's

various incarnations of God spoke through Jerry's guitar, but we, for one, were minions to the rhythm.

So how's a drummer to follow 30 or so years as a member of the largest grossing tour act in history? Why, by forming a band on Kaua'i, and playing gigs at clubs like our very own Anna Bannana's. Backbone, a blues-rock trio comprised of Kreutzmann, guitarist Rick Barnett and bassist Edd Cook arrive this week for a one-night stand with Honolulu's own Dead-tinged, American-improv quintet Palolo Jones.

Hot tip for cheap tipplers: Anna's now has an upstairs happy hour on Fridays, beginning at 5:30 p.m. - no cover, cheap drafts and acoustic music by Jones' Charley Myers and Steve Inglis. Check it out.

The lack of Hawaiian labor in the mid-1800s (due mainly to skyrocketing death rates via contact with Western diseases) led to the formation of the deceptively named

Foul-ups, Bleeps and Boners My word-processing program's the

saurus offers the word "boner" as a synonym for "mistake." Well, concerning "Clubbed to Death," I think its safe to say I've pulled a few boners.

The unfortunate side affect of writing a column like this one is that every mistake I make in writing it is played out in public. Fortunately for me, however, this cohunn is mostly bullshit anyway. It also typically contains at least a few subtle (and many not-so-subtle) nods to club scene insiders, therefore when I make a mistake, I can easily pass it off as an esoteric joke intended for a few mysterious readers who somehow catch all clubrelated humor, no matter how obscure the punch-line.

such dissing as "exploring negative curiosity."

So .. . sorry, Mystique, my mistake! 2) Correction from last week: There

is no Matt UiagaJelei. 3) The Hideaway: A while back I

reported that there is no urinal in the Hideaway's men ' s bathroom. Wrong again! As several Hideaway regulars have informed me since that issue bit the streets, the Hideaway does have a urinal - and a good one at that. When I returned to the bar to research the situation, I discovered the source of the mistake. What the men's bathroom lacks is a barrier between the urinal and the door - causing me to walk right past, as if it weren't there. Again, my mistake.

l • ... · •.. z ..... ·•• •. ·.· ·-.I.· , ,,..~, Another Hideaway blunder I W, committed concerns their selec-= lion of video games. I reported ; that the bar offered no post-

f•_ Space Invaders video games. ~ Such is not the case. The

I Hideaway proudly offers two 1997 edition, large-screen golf and bowling video games. I know because I have played them - and I sucked at both, which means they are at least moderately challenging for the average video-game consumer. Sorry, Hideaway!

4) Just kidding about Matt Uiagalelei, he does exist And I do frequently raid his old "Club Scene" columns for ideas.

That's a big mistake ya got there, fella: 5) Recently I reported that the Bosscats are a reformed Fungus- not even close to the truth! The band that consists of

The Hideaway does in fact have urinals -and a bartender (Jonathan Hemaez, left) and an owner (John Corso, right).

My modus operandi concerning boners in "Clubbed to Death" is to pretend they never happened. Yet, there are certain blunders on my part that I feel must be corrected. My conscience is keeping me up nights; I must address the situation - plus, put together, the boners form a ready made, neatly subdivided topic for this week's column.

I) The first (and probably worst) blooper I will address concerns the Mystique nightclub. A couple of months ago, I wrote about the club's opening-night VIP extravaganza. Here's the boner: I called it Masquerade.

Whoops! Many readers thought I did it on purpose. They thought I was handing an obscure insult to Mystique by calling it the name of a long defunct, apparently lame nightclub called Masquerade. I just laughed and told them they were right.

Ha ha! I've never been back to Mystique, or Restaurant Row for that matter, since; I heard the management of the Row put out a contract on me. At any rate, the people at Mystique probably didn' t mind the error, because most people would have considered my criticism a diss .. . although I prefer to think of

members of Fungus (currently on hiatus before their next stadium tour of the Mainland) is actually Hogdaddy. The Bosscats, I think, are a ska band about which I know nothing.

Hogdaddy is a jazz.funk band. The source of the confusion is that Hogdaddy for a brief period went by the name Boss Hogg, presumably after the infamous leader of Hazzard County; however, the band was forced to change its name, because there is a well-established Mainland band already using it. All the animal/male authority figure terminology got twisted up in my mind, and -what the hell - I was confused.

When I asked Hogdaddy's Bret Stittom if the guys in the Bosscats were mad, he said, "They're not."

Hmmm, it seems the members of Hogdaddy don ·1 want people thinking they play in a ska band. They must not realize how popular ska is on KPOI.

So that's my list of blunders. I hope the aggrieved readers feel better. I certainly do - and hopefully there will be no more boners waking me up in the middle of the night.

The period took punk's vitriol and gave it a melody, but also spawned a round of jealous fingerpointing as to which band was copying which. From this maelstrom emerged Bush. Unfairly tagged as one of many Nilvana knock-offs, the members of Bush have remained true to themselves and their sound - a sound that owes as much to pioneers like The Pixies and the take-no-prisoners Jesus Lizard as it does to king Nilvana - melding aggressive music and notso-angst-filled, but sincere, sentiments to form (horrors!) a Popular band. Bush, a quartet from Sheperd's Bush (hence the name), London came together in '92, weary of the fickle U.K. music scene. The band's debut, Sixteen Stone, and the multiplatinum follow-up, Razorblade Suitcase, capture the energy and intensity of their live shows and have garnered a pandemic fan base that makes them the largest band to remain unhonored at home.

Sports

Artist or athlete, skaters deserve respect.

eel Life

RIC VALDEZ

hether or not you realize it, you see one everyday; probably work or go to school with some. One may even deliver your newspaper, mail or

pizza. They're artists, musicians and entrepreneurs; they work in retail, construction and serve in the military. Your brother, friend, son or sister might be even be one. The special interest group I'm alluding to isn't the Communist party of America or a militant militia organization, just a misunderstood faction of society, a hurtling-vertical minority on polyurethane wheels: Skateboarders.

For those unfamiliar with the terms "360" or "ollie," here ' s a breakdown of skateboarding evolution: The bastard child of surfing, "sidewalk surfing" has existed for over 30 years. Early skateboarders used primitive boards with clay wheels; the early skate style imitated surf moves -cutbacks, deep carves and steep downhills. In the '70s and '80s, skateboan:ling was blessed with a skatepark boom and a wooden "half-pipe" craze. Popular tricks were front and backside airs, handplants and axle grinds. Skaters like Shogo Kubo, Micke Alba and Caballero were blowing minds and then . . . THUD! Like a stockmarket crash followed

by foreclosure, astronomical insurance rates forced these skate-havens to shut down. Vertical skaters were driven underground. Skaters who couldn' t afford to build a backyard half-pipe found themselves exiled back to the streets - to the roots.

Skateboarders banished to the streets were forced to make due with what was available. Building walls became ramps; cwbs and ledges now served as coping for tailslides and grinds . During this period, skaters acquired a taste for metro architecture - they found beauty and challenges in manmade objects that pedestrians take for granted. In this synthetic jungle, skaters not only had to hone their skateboarding skills but strengthen their survival skills to protect them from predators - rent-apigs, store clerks and automobiles.

Today' s skateboarder is adept in all styles. Pro skater Kale Sandridge exemplifies the present and future of Hawai'i ' s skateboarders - serious athletes who view their sport not just as a source of incom~ but a way of life.

"Skating is art; it's how I express myself," says Sandridge. "No two people skate exactly the same - I skate either ramps, pools or streets, depending on my mood."

The sport has taught him some valuable life lessons as well : "Skateboarding humbles - you fall, eat shit, you get back up. It takes discipline."

The skateboarding scene in Hawai 'i is at an all-time high right now, thanks to the Hawai'i Skateboarders Association. The HSA started out as a core "Empire" of skate-troopers, led by HSA president Kevin Buchli, Alph Kondo, Brian Takashita, Alika Freitas and Heather Drake. Fueled by the fantasy of creating a "skateboarders wet-dream" skatepark, they had to settle for what they could get -the Kapahulu Skatepark, formerly a bus parking lot under the Hl Freeway. Undaunted, the HSA enlisted the help of the YMCA to create an enclosed, safe refuge, built for skaters by skaters.

This Sunday, the YMCA and HSA are sponsoring the FunkyTiki Competition a Thanksgiving Skateboarding Extravaganza for Hawai ' i's youth. Besides being a skate competition for pros and amateurs, the event will feature a product toss, live music by "The Band Formerly Known as Fungus" and performances by DJs Sun, Bumble Bee, M.C. and Jonee Kop.

One more thing: Skateboarders are an independent breed who exhibit a high tolerance for pain and don' t become faint at the sight of broken bones or moist asphalt rashes. They may come off as being a bit cynical and usually have a sardonic sense of humor, but both are needed to transcend

their negative stereotyping as vandals and punkers on PCP, terrorizing malls and running down small animals. Still, they're human - most aren't vying for the public's affection, but they should be respected as legitimate athletes who practice an art that requires skill, discipline and creativity. Cut them some slack and remember: Skateboarding isn't merely an adolescent phase, and it isn't a crime ( except in W aikild)- whatever you do, know that they are many, and they'll demand the freedom to skate. •

Parking for the Kapahulu Skatepark is at Kaimuki High School. All skaters under 18 must have a signed waiver from a parent or guardian. Information on upcoming HSA events can be found on the association 's Website: www.50-50.com

Boogie Nights Foul-mouthed, fast-moving, and overly long, Boogie Nights, the story of a sweet, stupid waiter turned porn star, has a good ensemble cast and a unique story to tell, and it's self-indulgent (and often imprecise) about a subject that allows it to be both lowdown and high-minded. It isn't the masterpiece that our eager-to-be-hip critics are calling it, but it is a good movie about an irresistible subject, safely set in the immediate (and visually comic) past. -B.G.

Actually, there is only one thing that saves us from believing that we've been permanently banished to the second ring of moviegoer hell (wherein audience members are sunk to their eyeballs in cheese): Al Pacino.

The Jockal bites.

DAVID K. CHOO

1 he Day of the Jackal, the 1973 film about an assassination attempt on Charles de Gaulle and the inspiration for a new film staning Richard Gere and

Bruce Willis, was a fascinating, intricate movie that from time to time made you forget that this intelligent, resourceful man was plotting a very public and bloody murder. The Day of the Jackal made the assassin an artist, or at the very least, a craftsman (see also In the Line of Fire). At the climax, when his plot inevitably fails, creepy as it may seem, it's sort of a letdown to see something so well-planned and executed foiled because of chance and happenstance.

In The Jackal, you also partially wish that the hit man would hit his mark. Up until that point, everything is so bland and by-the-numbers that something daring and unexpected would pump a little excitement into this dog. But good taste and bad

Sh-p in wolf's clothlng: Bruce Willis plays a doggedly determined assassin In the toothless thriller The Jackal.

screenwriting prevail, as things continue on as expected.

Bruce Willis plays the unknown killer, who is only known as the Jackal. Is he American? British? No one knows for sure, except for an Irish terrorist (Gere) who had seen him years ago. The FBI frees the terrorist temporarily so that this hard case can assist in tracking the killer down. We've now seen that premise in just about every action picture since Schwarzenegger started to play humans.

Actually, the premise is to be expected and almost forgivable. The real heart and soul of a movie like The Jackal is the assassination plot, and unfortunately that is the most boring and unoriginal part of this film. The Jackal basically orders his weapon over the Internet, loads it aboard a boat in Canada and sails it to Chicago. Question: Can someone just get a cannon shipped to them in Canada by stamping ''Machine Parts" on the crate? And if it's so easy to ship the biggest gun you've ever seen,

why can't you get the whole thing? Why do you need to have the remaining pieces custom-made in Canada by a load-mouth machinist? Details, details, details: The Jackal should be reveling in them. Instead, it just glosses over them.

Since he can get his equipment via mail order, we are left to believe that the real genius of the Jackal is to remain mysterious by putting on a series of cheesy disguises as he makes his way across Europe and Canada. It begins to look a little silly when he dons about his fourth or fifth disguise. (If it's dreadlocks, it must be Montreal.) Aren't there only about two people on the planet who know what he looks like anyway? So what's the big deal?

Finally, we reach the assassination attempt. The Jackal coolly sets up as police race to the scene. Would the high-profile victim be speaking at the foot of a grassy knoll, within the view of half the buildings and parked cars in Washington, D.C.? Details, details, details. •

Ang Lee's The Ice Storm gets at the (frozen) heart of something humanly important. about the '90s as the '70s). Yet Lee's

characters - people who do not know how to communicate or feel gratitude - are sometimes painful for us to watch: Joan Allen's Elena, a wife frozen in her unhappiness; Kevin Kline's Ben, in an extramarital affair a5 alienated as his marriage; Jamey Sheridan as a father too busy for his children; and Sigourney Weaver's Janey, a numbed-out wife/mother in pursuit of sensation in order to alleviate her numbness.

Consumers in the

Private Sector BOB GREEN

Thanksgiving, 1973. A wooded Connecticut suburb, upscaJish. A "family" gathers, some reluctantly, to a traditional feed. It's quite clear by now that grat

itude, giving thanks, is the last thing on anyone's mind, and we might wonder if any of these American consumers are capable of gratitude at all - or if, as instructed by their culture, they possess only endless appetite, without the ability to taste or to savor.

No trendy term is used more in the world of media than "vision." Directors of dog-food commercials are said to have vision; "creators" of the latest Tony Danza television sitcom are said to have vision. Can debased currency drive out the genuine? When a film like The Ice Storm comes along with what might legitimately be called "vision" - all its diverse elements completely in har-

mony - what are we to make of it? In the case of Ang Lee's latest (and most difficult) film, it is clear that this film is superbly well-done, but its vision might just be one, for a complexity of reasons, that many people would rather not recognize.

Ang Lee's movies don't look or sound like each other at all; each looks and sounds as it should, according to its vision. The Ice Storm, shot in the wintry, shadowy grays and silvers of well-upholstered alienation, punctuated by the minimalist music of gamelan and ironic Native American flute, and controlled by impeccable, distanced performances, keeps us at a certain remove from its story and characters, until it moves in close in its last 15 minutes, when we are eager for feeling. Then it makes us feel more than we might wish.

Ang Lee is a compassionate storyteller, and so his movie is more balanced than its source, the angry Ron Moody novel (which is as much

And then there are the children of the two families under examination here - forced to stop when the worst ice storm in 30 years impinges upon their stylized evasions. Ben and Elena's daughter Wendy (Christina Ricci, in a beautiful performance) searches for "meaning" in an adolescent funk, experimenting with sex and emotionality, mostly anger. If there is a sympathetic character in the movie, it is the boy Paul (Tobey Maguire), who leaves his parents (Allen and Kline) on the night of the storm to visit a potential girlfriend in the city.

After tragedy strikes, Paul returns to the Connecticut station, unaware of what has happened to one of his friends - and his life. As he alights from the train, he sees all of the family, waiting for him, to take him home. The look on his face, and theirs, gives this story its muted but powerful ending. As they realize what they have - what they have not lost - that look, as every collaborator of that film aspires to show us, is one of genuine and heartfelt gratitude. •

King of the Road

MARCIA MORSE

eady for life in the fast lane? No? Then don't see this exhibition. On the other hand, if you are willing to take a chance, this is bound to be the best ride you' 11 have all year. Nam June

Paik is not only the avowed origi-nator of the term "electronic super highway" but also its most artful traveler and, in this exhibition, an articulate tour guide.

Paik, Korean-born but long associated with the Fluxus group and the American avant-garde, was the first to bring video into the fold of artists' media. ''TV Buddha," an early work not seen in this exhibition, was a signature work: Minimal, even ascetic in comparison, it used a traditional sculpture of a seated Buddha engaged in a closed loop of self-con-

Wei:;;. to ey.,;rtown, U.S.A.

templation with its own TV image. "TV Buddha" provided a clue to Paik's insight on video's potential to create a new aesthetic sensibility and to comment on the culture in which it's embedded.

Part of the genius of Electronic Super Highway is Paik's ability to create material metaphors that link essential parts of our physical and cultural infrastructure - transportation and communication. Coupled with artifacts of the highway itself (a billboard, a motorcycle cop) are the structures - and the residents - of "Cybertown," that electronic version of Anytown, USA. They create an alter-world that for all its wit still raises provocative questions about the nature and location of community.

Be prepared, as you enter the gallery space, for saturation of sight and sound - the elevator doors are the on-ramp to a sensorial autobahn, and you'd better get up to speed ... fast. You'll have a chance to visit "Warez Academy," a one-room schoolhouse with sidings of old book covers and lined (in a space that holds a single desk) with 18 video monitors simultaneously pulsing with a rapid display of images. One impor-

tant clue to Paik's style in the medium is his use of montage, or video collage, in which a sequence of stills and clips, objects, patterns - drawn literally from the global culture of images - is quickly crosscut and then looped, so the illusion of familiarity and the comfort of deja vu compete with a fragmentary, fast-paced presentation. In this context, as elsewhere, a strange kind of egalitarian attitude prevails - if no image, no portion of''knowledge" is privileged (by being given time enough for recognition, let alone absorption), what does that say about how we learn and what we know in this electronic age?

Moving on, you' 11 encounter ''Phiber Optik," a robot on a motorcycle - one of several anthropo

morphized beings constructed out of old housings and hardware. Further on down the road, you' 11 also meet ''Hacker Newbie," an engaging cyberkid; a consummate politician in "Cyberforum"; the endearing "Couch Potato" (to whom you can fax your own commen

tary); and portraits of members of Paik's artistic family - grandfather Paik, composer John Cage and cellist Charlotte Moorman. Other notable citizens are the "Internet Dwellers," a series of large heads or masks assembled from particularly witty combinations of electronic ware.

"Video Server" (like "Warez Academy") takes a familiar structure - in this case, a street peddler's cart - and transforms it to create a com-mentary on electronic marketing, whether QVC or Internet shopping. Dangling remote controls, hung fringe-like around the cart's umbrella and smeared with congealed daubs of paint, suggest the relentless obsolescence that also travels this road.

Elsewhere in Cybertown, you can make a stop at the post office ("EMail vs. Snail Mail") with Paik as a dozing postmaster, or hitch a ride with "Nomad," again with Paik as the driver.

Though this exhibition brings together almost 40 of Paik's mixed media sculptures, it is integrated as an installation with the inclusion of an extraordinary amount of "stuff': Remnants of older, now ( or soon to be?) obsolete technologies that both serve as a reminder of how sh01t this

,..,·~-Nam June Palk, "Couch Potato" .

period of our technological history has been, while evoking a strange kind of nostalgia. Piled around each work like so much flotsam, jetsam or, perhaps, roadkill, these piles of tubes, film reels, records, videocassettes, laserdisks, wires, cables, casings and etc. provide a curious sort of connective tissue between the individual works. This detritus also raises a question explored more explicitly in "More Log-in: Less Logging," in which Paik engages the ecological implications of the electronic age. Here, as in ''Digitation," Paik transforms organic life.

''Route 66" (a video billboard with 84 monitors) and "Ars Electronica" (a smaller-scale "easel painting" with 20 monitors) suggest Paik's interest in and ability for working in a context both more painterly and more abstract. The natural grid formed by the monitors, each displaying similar and often simultaneous images, creates an electronic version of field painting. At the same time, it again raises those subtle and disturbing questions about the significance and redundancy of "information."

Paik's Electronic Super Highway is provocative social commentary. It is also, in many ways, a complex and poignant autobiography. Paik engages his own community in much of the video footage (the sequences of dancer Merce Cunningham in ''Route 66" are some of the most engaging), and makes his own appearance in several of the works, fleetingly in some, more fully in others - "Email ... " or ''Nomad" - as artist, actor, shaman, traffic cop.

And what does it mean that so many of the works are marked, like the monitors in "Couch Potato" or the baroque kiosk in "Cyberforum," with calligraphic gestures of paint? Occasionally, in a small but telling detail, we find a signature, the simple mark of the hand, fixed to a work. An appeal, perhaps, not to forget the person behind the facade of technology; a reminder, like that classic bit of graffiti, that "Paik was here." •

The venerable Chiang Mai can still thai one on.

MATTHEW GRAY

nother rainy night on King Street, slippin' -and-a-slidin' from the car to the front entrance of Chiang Mai. We hadn't been there in quite some time - since they knocked down a few

walls and expanded the place. The visual as we sloshed in the

door was an open kitchen: Not exactly an exhibition area but bright and airy and, most importantly, a place where one can see the prepared dishes posing submissively, readying themselves for their final one-way trip to the table.

The Mee Krob (Crispy Thai Vegetarian Noodles - $5.50) definitely caught our eye, with its pinkish hue and towering, you'regonna-need-a-stepladder height This dish is quite popular, but I'm not a fan of the sticky-sweet crispy noodles, even if it is served with bean sprouts and tofu chunks.

The dining room is well appointed with touches of artwork and potted plants, although with a few less tables, the room would be even more comfortable.

Thai _ter Time

Rice time on the town: The service at Chiang Mai is always friendly and attentive.

The Poh Pia (Spring Rolls -$6.95) were among the best in town - hot, crunchy and stuffed with goodies like mushrooms, carrots, long rice, ground pork, all garnished with cucumber, mint leaves, lettuce & dipping sauce. These are also available vegetarian style.

The Tom Kha Gai (Royal Chicken Soup - $7.50) was the standard aromatic soup with chicken bits, lemon grass and young Thai ginger (Kha) in a slightly creamy coconut-enriched broth. Stick to the Spicy Soup (Tom Yum - $7.95) for a more tantalizing experience.

Thai places love their cunies, and Chiang Mai is no different. Their Kaeng Ped Deng (Thai Red Curry - $7.95 with choice of meat, or $9.95 with shrimp) was creamy and rich - too tame for my palate - but authentic in its inclusion of sweet basil and other flavorings.

The Kaeng Saparod (Chicken Pineapple Cuny- $7.95 meat, $9.95 with shrimp) was identical to the red curry above. except for a bit of added pineapple and long rice. The sauces should have differed somewhat, even though the same base (red curry paste) was used in the preparation.

Normally the measure of a Thai

place is their Pad Thai (Thai Rice noodle dish - $7.95 with meat, $9.95 with shrimp), which is the national dish of Thailand. These are rice noodles wokked with fish sauce, bits of egg, bean sprouts, spring onion and topped with crushed peanuts. It can be the best thing on earth when all the elements are perfectly combined. When people speak of the "Harmonic Convergence," they are speaking of the ultimate Pad Thai coming out of the kitchen. It is rare, to be sure, but you'll know it when it happens. Chiang Mai ' s is good, not great.

The Rad Na (Thai Broccoli Noodle - $7.95 with beef or chicken, $9.95 with shrimp, $12.95 with seafood) is a thick flat noodle, similar to Chow Fun, sauteed with yellow bean sauce and topped with broccoli_ These noodles feel good in the mouth; they're chewy ... and the flat surface picks up a lot of the sauce with each bite.

One of my usual favorite dishes, Pad Makheua (Eggplant - $7 .50) was very disappointing here. It may have been the worst rendition of an eggplant dish I have tasted. Instead of the fiery taste and fleshy texture I am used to, this one was swimming in a ... what is that gravy stuff? It

comes with your choice of beef, chicken, or pork. Eggplant lovers, pass on this one.

The Pad Pak Hom Mid (Seafood Mixed Vegetable -$12.95) was a nice combination of shrimp, scallop, calamari and crab, subtly sauteed with baby com, mushroom and bamboo shoots, in a delicate "house sauce." The flavors of the seafood came across and the dish had a nice clean finish on the tongue.

Try the Sticky Rice if you've not had it before. It's served in a bamboo basket and is a great compliment

AMERICAN Dixie Grill Bar-B-Que and Crab Shack Dieters beware: this is down-home babyback barbeque, fried chicken and crab that's sure to tip your scales.

Dessert was Thai Tapioca in Coconut Milk ($2.50) - creamy sweet tapioca pearls in coconut milk, warm and soothing. There's also Apple Banana simmered in the same sauce and Ice Cream of the Day ($2.50).

Chiang Mai tries hard; the service is friendly and attentive and - especially on a rainy night - an adequate Thai repast can be had here. Sometimes that's all you need. •

T heres been a lot of talk in the last few years about subliminal advertising, sexual words and phalluses in Disney movies, etc. Another rumor I

keep hearing is that a part of the male anatomy was pictured unintentionally in a Sears catalog underwear ad in 1975. Let me put it this way: a penis is peeking out under somebody's boxers. Naysayers claim that advertising photographers scrutinize their work and would never let something like that get by, that it could be just a drawstring. But wouldn't they have noticed something like a drawstring, too? Could it be an intentional joke on the part of a wacky or disgruntled photographer or editor, to make a job taking pictures of undies for Sears more interesting? More importantly, where can I get a copy of this picture? -Jill Gatwood, Albuquerque, New Mexico

Y ou think getting a picture of a penis is difficult? I get X-rated E-mail spam offering shots of just about every part of the human anatomy you'd care to

see, and many you wouldn't. (I haven't actually seen a Web site for appendectomy scar fetishists, but I expect one any day.) Naturally, we at the "Straight Dope" feel we have to post saucy photos ourselves, just so we can ... well, when I first started working on this I wrote, "hold our own." But when the topic is the male organ, you definitely have to watch what you say.

Anyway, you'll find the infamous Sears page on our Web site at www.straightdope.com. We've also posted a computer-enhanced 200-percent enlargement for those who can't see anything in the original. Warning: If you can't see anything there, either, it's not necessarily a sign of an underpowered libido; it may just be your crummy monitor. There's definitely something there.

The object in question appeared in the Sears catalog for fall/winter 1975 in a photo of two guys modeling underwear. It's extremely faint; Sears clearly had a lot of customers who scrutinized those underwear ads. (Probably the same people you'd see in the Craftsman section looking at the big tools. Sorry, couldn't help myself.) Once you do see it, you don't have much trouble believing it's a penis. A circumcised penis. This last detail is pointed out by Jill, with whom I've communicated via the magic of cyberspace. Jill obviously scrutinizes underwear ads too.

The photo created an uproar at the

time, although contrary to popular belief, the catalog was not recalled. Sears has consistently denied that you're seeing what you think you're seeing.

One explanation for many years was that it's a drawstring, but Sears says not so. Rather, says spokesperson Jan Drummond, it's a blemish that was introduced during the reproduction process. (Cecil's copy editor notes here, "Isn't that how many women would describe a penis?" Everybody wants to get into the act.)

Drummond's explanation is easy to believe: No disrespect to Sears, but what with all the bleed-through from adjacent pages, I've seen better printing jobs done with a stamp pad and a potato. Ms. Drummond, though, says the whatsit was introduced at an earlier stage - it's visible on the film used to make the printing plate. She described it as a "hickey," the term used in printing to describe a certain type of defect - honest. Having spent some time in print shops, I don ' t think that's what it is. But it may well be a water stain.

Of course one can never entirely rule out the possibility of sabotage. But let's get one thing straight (sorry -you try writing a column like this): It's probably not a penis. Ms. Drummond says the same photo ran in the preceding catalog (spring/summer); no penis is visible. She denied my request to visit the Sears archive and inspect this earlier catalog -sometimes in this business one longs for subpoena power. But she says she's personally inspected it and is certain there's nothing there.

I'm confident she's telling the truth, in part because I had the following unworthy thought: It can't be what it looks like, because (a) the model's member would have to be at least eight inches long in its detumescent state, and (b) the guy ain't Secretariat. If you've had a chance to look at the photo, don't tell me you didn't think the same thing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Despite the fact that your life lately may seem to have been directed by Bladerunners Ridley Scott, I urge you not to surrender to the murky tides. Do not get mixed up with the mob. Do not hang out with junkyard dogs. Do not

' appiy for a JOO running guns in Central America. It's absolutely crucial that you stay away from bad influences. And the best way to do that is to ferociously seek out good influences. In fact, I'd like you to start as soon as you finish reading this message. Put on your finest clothes, call up your classiest friends, and hire a limousine to chauffeur you around to museums, libraries, and religious services.

TAURUS (Apn"l 20 - May 20): In the best-known version of the Greek myth, Persephone is dragged down into the underworld by Pluto and held hostage. But in earlier, pre-patriarchal tales, she descends there under her own power, actively seeking to graduate from her virginal naivete by exploring the intriguing land of shadows. Which of these approaches to higher (or should I say lower?) education do you prefer, Taurus: imposed against your will or initiated under your own power? It really is up to you, and you should decide pretty soon. Maybe it'll help you make your decision if I tell you that according to ancient lore, the dusky realm to which Persephone journeyed is a place of hidden wealth. Indeed, according to psychologist James Hillman, it's "the giver of nourishment to the soul."

GEMINI (May 21 -June 20): For those of you who are true believers in astrology (but not, sad to say, for you skeptics), this week will be a sweet dream. The planet Mercury will bestow upon you a glistening new insight into your most interesting relationship. Mars, meanwhile, will build steely reinforcements into your willpower, and Jupiter will not only expand your horizons but accessorize them with breathtaking views.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• . Saturn will show you how to add 10 percent more organization into your life in such a way as to increase yourefficiency by 40 percent. And Venus! What Venus has planned for you is unspeakably concupiscent, sybaritic, and Epicurean ... if you really, truly believe.

CANCER (June 21 -July 22): During the shooting of the movie Mission: Impossible, Cancerian Tom Cruise did a perfect take of a difficult scene. Close examination of the footage, however, revealed the unglamorous presence of a gob of saliva on his chin. A computer genius was called in to eradicate the "imperfection" using special effects. I bring this up, my fellow Crabs, to call your attention to the probability that you'll soon be tempted to perform similar edits in your own drama. Please don't. Let that spit shine brightly - and the sweat and tears and pimples, too. Wear 'em all proudly. Be as raw as the law allows.

LEO (July 23 -Aug. 22): If I were going to get you an early Christmas present, I'd find one of those T-shirts that says, "I put the fun in dysfunctional" or "I put the erotic in neurotic." So many times lately, you've made the best of icky, sticky, and tricky situations. Very soon, however, you'll have to get used to a more straightforward approach to pleasure. Sweet diversions will come racing at you without their teeth bared or claws sharpened. Think you can handle the shocking ease?

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): Since 1978, the medium J.Z. Knight has channeled Ramtha, a 35,000-year-old warlord from Atlantis. This ghostly dude has been good to his mistress, helping her create and sell products that have swelled her wealth to epic proportions. No wonder, then, that she objected when another psychic, Julie Ravel, started channeling Ramtha without asking permission. Drawing on the warrior aspects of her disembodied sugar daddy, Ms. Knight sued her rival in court, and won. The judge awarded sole custody of Ramtha to his original owner. That's why I'm a little worried about this week's horoscope. You see, a rough, tough wraith claiming to be Ramtha's drill sergeant just buzzed me. "Tell your Virgo readers," he bellowed, "that it's time for them to kick some major spiritual butt!"

LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): An earthy psychic once told me that my first name "Rob" is an apt description of my spiritual function. "You're here on earth to rob people of their godawful belief that life is a bitch," she advised me. "Your job is to steal away the habits that sap their life energy; to rip off the sorry-ass dogmas that blind them to the wondrous feats their imaginations are capable of." I hope I can live up to tllis heady role in the coming weeks, Libra. You're on the verge of neutralizing the black magic you performed on yourself a few years back, and I'd like to be there to help you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): Think of all the times you've used your crafty intelligence to confuse or scare people. Contemplate your genius for peering at the deep inner workings below the surface of things, and muse on how often you've exploited this talent to make others feel weak and exposed. Now just imagine, Scorpio, if you took these superpowers of yours and applied them to spread peace, love, and understanding everywhere you go. I believe you're ready to do just that - with a vengeance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): The cosmos really, really wants you to get your fill of relief and release this week. To cooperate, I suggest you throw a Dec. 31, 1999-style party, complete with cartoons scrawled on the walls, boisterous singing which inspires all the dogs in the neighborhood to yowl, and drunk friends passing out in your bathtub. There's so much to celebrate, after all, so much to commemorate: last laughs and first cries ... bombastic departures and discreetly revolutionary arrivals ... and the kind of poetic justice that could inspire legendary sagas a thousand years from now. Then of course there'll be the absolutely final gasp of a long-drawn-out ending: That alone deserves a joyous primal scream.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 -Jan. 19): In the fairy tale "The Sweet Porridge," an old woman gives a poor girl a magic cooking pot tl1at produces porridge on

command. The crone tells the child, "To start it up, say, 'Cook, pot.' When you want no more, say, 'Stop, pot.' "The girl takes the gift home and does as she's been told, whereupon her m<J-¥ler and her enjoy their first substanti' ' meal in weeks. Next day. while the girl i~ 01_1t,

me mother tries the alchemy she's seen her daughter perform. "Cook, pot," she says, and it does. Unfortunately, mom doesn't remember the other part of the hocus-pocus, and so the porridge just keeps flowing and flowing. Only when the whole town's flooded with porridge does the girl return and gasp, "Stop, pot." Moral of the story: Learn the magic words which'll prevent a good thing from becoming way too much of a good thing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): These days you could probably transform Satan into a donkey with a touch of your right index finger. I wouldn't be shocked if gems and miniature roses spilled from your lips as you spoke, or you were able to tickle a grizzly bear into subnlission, or you could induce a meteor shower just by wrinkling your nose in the direction of the heavens. In short, Aquarius, you're so supernaturally talented, it's spooky. I can't wait to see which three miracles, of all the hundreds you're now capable of, you will actually choose to perform.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - March 20): You won't serve time in hell for the bombs you'll drop this week, but neither will you rack up any Brownie points in the Book of Judgment. So I guess your best motivation for doing what you're going to do will be for the sheer fun of it, for the righteous nlischief, for the entertainment value of seeing everyone you encounter get flung up into the air by the tremors you send coursing through the earth beneath their feet. I'm not doing chart readings, but I highly recommend these three astrologers: Muriel Foltz at (206) 545-1655; Stephen Poplin at (51 O) 299-1118; and Stephanie Austin at (510) 254-6972.
