there are 5.2 million house­holds in America that have a yearly income of at least $1 million. Yet they are not taxed like the rest of us who make .02 percent of that. "An honest politician" is an oxymoron, the rest of us are just morons.

Ode to poets

Tom Luna Honolulu

I enjoyed reading the poem [July 6: " Wood" by No'ukahau'oli Revilla] in your last issue. It made me think that a weekly poem would be nice, as it would get people reading poetry and would be a wonder­ful outlet for the poets in our community. I know I should have turned this thought into a poem, but alas, that didn't hap­pen. Cheers.

Akaka halt

Bob Graham Honolulu

HRS 172-11 is the mo' opuna of The Kuleana Act of 1850. The Kuleana Act provided owner­ship to lands that were owned by the Ali'i Nui. Kanaka could claim their lands that their an­cestors cultivated for thousands of years. Ali'i Nui, Konohiki and Hoa'aina also claimed Ku­leana rights from the Kuleana Act of 1850.

Samuel Parker and James Campbell were the original ha'oles who abused the Kule­ana Act. They began to fence in large portions of Ahupua'a that had hundreds ofKuleana Royal Patents within its boundries and alienated kanakas from their ancestoral lands during the extermination of the Ha­waiian race by the small pox virus , which was introduced by the racist american haole Christian missionary families in 1854. All the large land oc­cupiers followed them: Bishop Estate, Lunalilo Estate, Emma Estate, Kamamalu Estate, Baldwin, Kualoa Ranch, Park­er Ranch, Maui Land and Pine, Ulupalakua Ranch , Ceded lands, the list goes on and on.

Because of HRS 172-11 , none of the land thieves men­tioned above have any title to their lands. That means that all of the subdivisions in Kai­lua and Kane'ohe, for example, have no title whatsoever to their house lots. The Akaka Bill is the brain child of the 442 lo­cal japanese democratic party to delete HRS 172-ll , so their children/boy sans can say they own stolen Hawaiin lands. The Akaka Bill is the ultimate form of genocide against the Hawai­ian people, instigated by the lo­cal democratic party. Its called institutionalized racism.

Stop the Akaka Bill!

Hotel bustling

Eric Po 'ohina Kailua

The majority of the La'ie com­munity is for the new hotel [July I 3: "Collateral Dam­age"]. It' s desperately needed for our families who visit. for BYUH and PCC: visitors , and it 's a more affordable option than Turtle Bay or WaikikI. La' ie is a destination in its own

right, and I think the interest will keep the hotel bustling.

I don't want La'ie to lose its country feel. I'm convinced , however, that we can-we mus-grow to remain sustain­able. If we grow in a smart way, we can stay true to what makes La'ie such a unique place.

I'm on the LCA Board, and I work at BYUH.

Kevin Schlag Via Honolulu Weekly.com

More jobs? Yeah, right. The hotel [July 13: "Collateral Damage"] will not be used by local families. It will be too expensive. Local families have baby I a' aus at beach parks or their homes. Local families stay at nearby Malaekahana or other beach parks.

As for jobs: the hotel will create 125 jobs. 75 are part­time for BYUH students. Only 25 are full-time for " locals." Most of the money generated by the hotel will go toward paying for non-local students ' BYUH education.

I'm not again st a country inn, but I don't think we need a four- story, 222-room hotel.

BADGERING

Afour-year-old case stem­ming from protests over the Hawaii Superferry

took an unusual turn recent­ly when a judge ordered the Kaua'i Police Department (KPD) to return a badge they took from the arrested leader of the Kingdom of Atooi.

Kaua'i attorney Dan Hemp­ey successfully argued that his client is-entitled, under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, to possess a badge identifying himself as a fed­eral marshal in the Kingdom of Atooi.

Dayne "Aipoalani" Gon­salves, the ali'i nui of the Kaua'i-based Kingdom of Atooi, is awaiting trial on mis­demeanor charges stemming from an Aug. 26, 2007, protest against the Superferry, as well as two counts of impersonat­ing a law enforcement officer.

Gonsalves allegedly pro­duced the badge when police arrested him on Oct. 23, 2007, for the Superferry-related of­fenses, resulting in the first charge of impersonating an officer. The second count was added when police found the badge in a pouch in Gon­salves's truck during an his ar­rest on April 30, 2008, for fail­ing to appear in court on the initial impersonation charge.

Gonsalves has consistently maintained that he was not impersonating a police officer, but instead legitimately holds the badge as a marshal of the Kingdom of Atooi, a sovereign entity over which the cops have no authority. The badge bears the Gonsalves family's coat of arms and reads "Hawaii Fed­eral Marshall-Kingdom of Atooi ."

Gonsalves agreed to a set­tlement offer according to which he· would pay a $250 fine for obstruction and in re­turn the other charges would be dropped. The deal soured, however, when the Kaua'i

MERC:?Al9El BEil-A RAZA

LATIN AMERICAN MARKET

Celebrating 15 years

County prosecutor's office imposed an additional term requiring Gonsalves to sur­render his badge, according to Hempey's motion asking the judge to enforce the original plea offer and strike the "ille­gal condition."

Hempey's motion further included that the "Defendant contends that this United Nations declaration clearly obliges the United States and its political subdivisions to recognize, at a minimum: 1)

Defendant's right to a position in government in his Atooi na­tion; 2) Defendant's right to possess an identification card identifying him as a citizen of his Atooi nation; and the right to possess a badge.

"Defendant contends that the Kaua'i Office of the Pros­ecuting Attorney violates his human rights by demanding, as a condition of a plea bar­gain in a criminal case in ­volving misdemeanors and petty misdemeanors, that he surrender any of his human rights to self-determination as an indigenous person of these islands-including his right to be identified within his King­dom by his title and badge," according to the motion.

Kaua'i Circuit Court Judge Kathleen Watanabe agreed during a July 13 hearing that Gonsalves does have a right to his badge, and she told Hemp­ey to prepare an order direct­ing KPD to return the badge now.

The judge did not grant the part of the motion that asked for the original plea agreement to be enforced, saying that no agreement was in effect.

Deputy Prosecutor Melinda Mendes vigorously opposed Watanabe's decision, say­ing the badge was needed as evidence to try Gonsalves on charges of impersonating an officer.

Kaua'i prosecutors have not determined whether they will appeal the ruling or offer Gon-

Shrinking Groceries? If grocery stores and fresh food are disappearing nationally, what does that mean for Hawai 'i? SHANTEL GRACE

C ustomers these days are paying more for grocer­ies. We all know that. But there's

a lot of truth to the notion that groceries are, well, shrinking. Companies are hoping that it's simply going unnoticed, but it's not. They shave a little bit off here, a little there, and then, eventually, the neighborhood grocery store we count on for fresh food turns into another drugstore selling smaller bottles of Excedrin for the exact same price as the old ones. Take for example Scott toilet paper. The old roll had 115 square feet, now it's 104 square feet. Add laundry detergent and ice cream to that scenario, both of which are also shrinking considerably.

In his article, "Honey, They Shrunk My Food!" Sylvain Charlebois reports that marga­rine, yogurt, orange juice and granola bars have seen signifi­cant drops in quantity per unit, but prices have remained the same. The simplest explana­tion, Charlebois says, is that in­put price hikes are forcing food processors and distributors to revisit their packaging strate­gies. "Legally, i;iothing prevents food processors from charging the same for less."

Deceitful? Yes. Does the food industry have a moral contract with the public? Are they obligated to be strate­gic enough to set price points consumers can bear? Let's take it one step further and ask whether or not the food industry has an obligation to offer fresh food instead of foods that sim­ply impact the bottom line.

People seek a variety of gro­cery stores selling fresh food choices. They want Costco for obvious reasons, stores like Kale's Natural Foods and Kokua Market for healthier options. And many people prefer to buy from a local family market rather than from a supermarket like Safeway, but in some areas of the country, including parts of Hawai'i, these options aren't available at all.

The recentclosing of Hawaii Kai's Foodland is old news, but let's go there for a minute. In­stead of choosing from a variety of greens and veggies, folks will soon be restricted to canned soups and pop-tarts. That's a real loss, and for Hawaii Kai resident Jaimie Gusman it's as much about having healthier op­tions as it is about convenience.

"Foodland closing is a huge loss to this community," she says. "Having a variety of gro­cery stores is much more im­portant to me than having a va­riety of places to buy shampoo or Advil. Safeway is the only

other grocery store in the area with a similar amount of space and selection as Foodland, but now ... it's going to be even more overwhelming with longer lines and crowded aisles. I'd rather give my money to a private store like Kale's, but that's difficult too because they don't have ev­erything you need."

To Trend, or Not to Trend? As one of the poorest com­munities in the US, South Los Angeles' s access to fresh food is limited. Grocery stores and non-fast-food restaurants are nearly impossible to locate, and on most comers you'll find small stores packed with beer, cigarettes and candy bars. Ac­cording to a 2009 report by MS­NBC, there are only six super­markets in South Los Angeles; which carry the burden of serv­ing a population of 688,000.

So what about other parts of the country? Seven years ago, the state of Pennsylvania in­vested $30 million and opened 61 supermarkets in rural and urban areas. Chicago and New Orleans considered similar pro­grams, but just like California, legislation came to a halt due to budget constraints. Fast food remains king in South Los An­geles, and one can only imagine what would happen if this trend finds its way to O'ahu and the rest of the state. More fast food means more drugstores, which means a food catastrophe for Hawai'i communities.

In 2008, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. opened four pilot marketplace stores in Arizona, which are half

the size of a traditional grocery store. What was once known as the "supermarket" in Midwest­ern cities like Chicago, has now transformed into a small-format store. Safeway experimented with its small-format version in Southern California, and now, even Whole Foods is scaling back the size of its stores.

This idea is spreading across the country. Grocers are coping with higher costs, limited capital and constant competition with businesses with higher profit margins. The New York Times reported in 2008, that "this small-format experimentation was triggered by UK competi­tor Tesco, which launched 70 small-format supermarkets that year in Nevada, Arizona and Southern California."

Small Towns Suffer In rural counties across the na­tion, small towns face a threat even worse than the downsiz­ing of their grocery stores. A casualty of the economic crisis, these rural areas are witness­ing the disappearance of their community grocery stores al together.

"Rural grocery stores are dis­appearing across the nation," according to "Rural Grocery Stores: Importance and Chal­lenges," a report by the Center for Rural Affairs in Lyons, Ne­braska. "While urban popula­tion are increasing, most rural communities and counties are decreasing in population. Ru­ral grocery stores, therefore, are fighting larger rural demo­graphic trends," the report said.

From 1995 to 2005, the num­ber of grocery stores dropped by almost half in Iowa, and in rural parts of that state, 43 per­cent of grocery stores in towns with populations less than 1,000 closed. Since 2007, 82 grocery stores in Kansas closed (includ­ing the one in my hometown), leaving communities through­out the state with nothing but a single gas station convenience store.

So What About Hawai'i? Data from the US Department of Agriculture shows that 803 counties in the US are classi­fied as "low access" areas with regards to full-service grocery stores; 418 counties are con­sidered "food deserts." This report failed to include Alaska and Hawai'i, but according to a 2010 investigation of food is­sues in Honolulu, conducted by the College of Tropical Agri­culture and Human Resources, residents in Mo'ili'ili were neg­atively affected due to transpor­tation, affordability, and quality of food.

Sheryl Toda, director of cor­porate communications for Foodland doesn't believe all the hype about shrinking groceries or the trend that suggests. we'll be losing our supermarkets any time soon.

"We're opening a Foodland in Kapolei in mid-2012," she says. "It's a 4-acre shopping cen­ter and community village-a 36,320 square-foot store, it's huge. And Safeway is getting ready for their expapsion soon too, so I don't really agree that this [national trend] applies to us here in Hawai'i."

This past June, Safeway an­nounced its plans to develop a 60,000 square-foot supermarket on 13 acres in Wailuku, Maui, with The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Trust serving as its anchor tenant. (Which is an­other story altogether ... who are these guys: and what are they

really doing in the front of my building?)

Sean Newcamp, the field rep­resentative for the Hawaii Car­penters Union (whose organiza­tion stood outside Hawaii Kai's Foodland in support during its final days) says he's not worried about the national trend either.

"What's happening in Hawaii Kai is truly an unfortunate situ­ation," he says. "[But] several grocery stores are under con­struction or will be constructed in the near future . Unlimited Construction is working on the new Safeway on Beretania Street. Ralph Inouye is work­ing on the Foodland in Kapolei. Swinerton Builders recently built a Safeway in Hilo, and Pankow has the contract for the new Safeway in 'Ewa.

"The problem in Hawaii Kai is that the community has lost a grocery store and another gro­cery store has not been built in its place. I don't foresee a trend of grocery stores being trans­formed into drug stores."

Maybe Toda and Newcamp are right. Maybe we have noth­ing to worry about here on O'ahu or in Hawai'i. But ac­cording to other national trends (such as foreclosures, unemploy­ment and the overall state of the economy) it seems that three years from now, we might have something to worry about.

Will there be accessible, fresh food available in parts of the is­·1and like Wai'anae or Waiahole or Kahuku? Will obesity rates continue to rise because our kids can find a bag of Doritos three times faster than a bag of apples?

As grocers move away from 100,000 square-foot monster stores, urban and rural shop­pers continue to ask for more than just cheap detergent at a fair price. Consumers want fresh food options that are ac­cessible and affordable, and if that's too much to ask, we're in real trouble. •

The Actors' Group (TAG) returns to the "stage'' of their Readers' Theatre

with a new play by John Wythe White directed by David C. Farmer. In chis format, actors focus on the words of the pi~ce, performing with scripts in hand, minimal blocking and no sets or costumes. Consider it a sneak p<;ek at the text prior to

its full production during TAG's upcoming theatre season.

The dark comedy Paral­lel Realities telts the story of a young professional woman who decides to take a stand against the public relations machine that shapes Hawai'i's image. Ir's a keen and funny look that draws a line in the sand on modern Hawai' i and tells us to quit drinking the pineapple Kool-Aid. With its sharp-wit­ted Local vs. Corporation setup, there are shades of what could be a Hawaiian Erin Brokovich found between the reading's lines.

You Had Me at Hello

I s there such a thing as love at first sight? Do sparks really fly when you meet

"The One?" These are just some of the questions actors Scott Hanada and Larissa Nielson of Laughrrack Theater Company will explore in their quirky per­formance of Us: An Improvised Spectacle on Love this Friday.

Known for their quick wit and on-the-spot improvisation, both Hanada and Nielson are veteran actors and teachers who have been performing in Hawai'i for about five years. In Us, they will play characters who are in their

first stage of a romance. With all the real-life embarrassing moments and funny mistakes that weren't funny then (but are now), the performance is a far cry from your typical lovey­dovey play. The cool part? The outcome of the characters' rela­tionship will be solely up to the audience's direction-the two actors will be winging the whole thing. (Kind of what some of us do in real-life relationships.)

The result is a one-of-a-kind performance that promises to be like a good first date: slightly awkward, but charming once you go with the flow. Bring a significant other with you and see if Hanada ancl Nielson's

Green Beating Portland

E ach year, a drove of com­prehensive studies are released that rank the

environmental performance of cities in the United States. Although Hawai'i's cities would win many exotic and roman­tic points from our landlocked constituents, Honolulu ranks relatively low in the Green City index. Okay, so maybe ranking "Good" in a study featured in Time Magazine isn't flunking our environmental report card, but what keeps us from all of the "Outstanding" honors of cities like Portland, Oregon?

The 19th Annual Hawai'i Conservation Conference is

the largest coalition of people who are involved in protecting Hawai'i's natural environment. Attend this three-day func­tion to help raise the level of awareness for ecological issues, held by the Hawai' i Conserva­tion Alliance. Topics such as climate change, reef e·cosys­rems, forest sustainability and more will all be addressed, so we can beat Portland once and for all. Featured events include a lunchtime panel on "Perspec­tives of the Forest," along with notable keynote speakers such as Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who will be addressing "New Day Hawaii Aina"; Prof. James Juvik, presenting "Coping with 'Novel' Island Ecosystem Con­servation in the Anthropocene: New Paradigms, New Base­lines and Radical Approaches"; and a discussion with poet laureate W.S. Merwin. Don't miss Splendor: Portraits of the Natural World, a walk-through exhibit with Melissa Chimera at Marks Garage to wrap up the occasion.

lookout for a piece of history during the upcoming auction. Curator Randy Rarick's collec­tion of vintage surf collectibles isn't limited to just a bunch of the century's raddest, island­inspired planks. Check out an assortment of art and cloth­ing, including a 1930s sweat­shirt depicting a hand-drawn Waikiki scene with signatures from Duke Kahanamoku, his brothers and other notorious beachboys of that time, worth between $15,000 and $20,000.

A portion of auction sales benefits the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation Scholarship Fund and The Surf­ing Heritage Foundation. With all chis old school Hawaiiana swagger packed into one week­end, even Eddie would go.

COURTESY TANNER ROSS

W ow where do I start. So that's what it's like to go out on a weekend . I almost forgot. Once I heard Ho­nolulu was getting a Classixx show, I was totally

planning on just hibernating and making up things to write about until then. Then I caught word about the Audiolab re­union event at Asylum Afterhours on Saturday night, which I almost missed because they stopped updating their Myspace page in March . I had no idea what they were up to. I'm already like an hour late filing this because I got distracted reading the blogs that retired DJ Mindgame posted on his page. Intelligent, wordsmith-y drum 'n' bass DJs are not the best thing to lurk first thing on a Monday morning if you want to stay focused, FYI.

Anyway, I heard about their anniversary party and made sure I didn't fall out on Saturday night after Showdown in Chinatown and Shake & Pop so I could make it to the pri­vate club. I wasn't the only one. All of their peoples were there. Thank heavens for once I wasn't the oldest person in the room, as these guys go way back. Their crowd was more than appre­ciative of the reunification. I stayed a lot longer than I expected to, bumping into way more people than I expected to, hypno­tized by the technical skills of these guys. The sound system was more than apt to handle those heavy bass lines. Mindgame mixing in melodies and even songs I recognized is what kept me there, readjusting my body-clock to the Wave days when I was racing the sun home to hit my bed before it came up since I didn't have adequate curtains to block out the light and fall asleep. Mission accomplished, and I was up in plenty of time to stumble into brunch the next day.

Zane was the perfect guy to spin for my Sunday afternoon and Ramyt, ever the professional, was being a great host at Morimoto's Sunday Social. I love that event. I'm glad it only happens once a month, but I also wish it happened more than once a month. They are regular now though-every third Sun­

day-so it's nice to know we'll always have a cool brunch on those Sundays after First Friday (Trump) and Shake & Pop (Mori­moto). BRUNCH! We got it!

This weekend is still not the Classixx show but we got a good one with Tanner Ross returning to Honolulu. When the not­so-underground boys from S.E.C.T performed in Honolulu last time, I couldn't even find the words to describe how good they were. This time I'm just going to tell you: SEE THIS DUDE. He performs at Indigo Ultralounge this Friday. I'll be there, if for anything, just to see how they do their club nights now. I hope it's in the big dinner room. Those were the best. I'll take the back room too though. Whatever. Just thank you for keep on keeping on, guys. I find it hard to keep up with all of these musicians so I just listen when someone I trust tells me not to miss it and I'm excited for something exciting to keep me oc­cupied until that Classixx show.

Does Diplo Plank? The Love Festival, Hawai'i's premiere musicfestival, got an extremely huge boost back in Febru­ary when Diplowas announced as this year's headliner.

His def-defying work with Hol­lertronix (DJ Low Budget) brought underground rel­evance; 2008's pop hit "Paper Planes" let the world know of his production swagger, his Mad Decent label and Major Lazer's offerings further solidified his place among the who's who of talented music minds of this generation.

As the Philly native continues to travel the planet and share his world-wide music inspira­tions with appreciative party folk, his incomparable flavor will be on full display in Kapolei.

HOM OL UL U

ears n the first issue of the Honolulu Weekly, July 17, 1991, then-editor, Julia Steele reported on the Tusitala Street evictions:

All of the women left on the land agreed that they'd rather be dragged

off the'property than leave voluntarily. They met frequently, over coffee and doughnuts from the corner ABC store, to discuss the eviction, their options and their fate. Finally, on June 2, two days before they were due to be evicted, they decided that as a statement of protest against the eviction and the destruc­tion of affordable rentals for luxury condo­miniums, they would barricade themselves into one of the empty buildings on the lot after midnight on June 4 and stay there until they were arrested. No one thought that would take very long ... [Officers} dragged a 62-year-old Hawaiian woman off the property,fighting all the way, crying, "No! I don't want to go! I don't want to go!" When they had "auntie," as they called her, at the car, they handcuffed her and drove her to jail. The last resident of Tusitala Street was gone.

Twenty years later, that block of WaikikI, bound by Kapili Street and Lili'uokalani Avenue and bisected by Tusitala Street, remains undeveloped. The Japanese corporation, then-known as U.S.A. Pensee, had been buying properties at the rate of $31 mil­lion per block, and had plans to make Tusitala Street a "super­block," complete with high-rise condos and luxury roof-top settings. Some residents moved out, others were dragged off the property and eventually arrested.

The $23 million twin-tower condominium project never hap­pened. Instead of roof-top pools, there are broken gutters, weed­infested sidewalks, hot concrete slabs and caved-in ceilings.

So why cover these stories-again, and, sometimes, again?

For the Weekly, progress isn't measured by the numbers of new buildings erected, tour­ism statistics or countless images of food porn. We want the city to be a place where people can stay, earn a living, live comfort­ably in an apartment and actually pay their rent.

Early issues of the paper highlighted underground artists, new bands, the re-birth of Chinatown, local films, activists' causes and other fringe-type events. The paper spoke to those interested in an alternative voice rather than the otherwise mainstream point­of-view projected by the dailies. Over the next two decades, readers turned to the Weekly for the same reasons people around the country

turn to their own local alternative weeklies-because it covers under-represented people and the events they care about.

In 2011 there is still an assault on the homeless, noncon­formists, immigrants and Native peoples. Artists find it difficult to stay here and find work. Mq_SS transit has become a contro­versy of epic proportions and local government continues to spin obvious issues like unemployment, foreclosures, gay rights and human rights into a web of confusion. With each new major national chain that arrives, a piece of the city's soul is lost. The number of anniversaries being celebrated in this issue is a testa­ment to the creative energy back when the backbone of this city was the independent business owners and the artists, the city's movers and shakers.

Today, many of us are trying to find our "place" in this com­munity, and in the years to come, we hope the Weekly keeps us informed, enlightened and entertained.

Publisher's Note

Twenty years of publishing Honolulu Weekly has been a long, strange trip. So much has changed. So much re­mains the same.

The cover stories of the first few years portray our Island issues a bit like the movie Groundhog Day. Events recur with little memory of what went on be­fore; themes continue to include trans­portation woes, sewage spills, fresh water scarcity, development pressures, pollution awareness and mitigation, endangered species, jobs and housing shortages and displacement of residents from their homes. No resolution is in sight for any of these issues in the near term.

Our very first cover story profiled the destruction of one of the last bits of WaikTkT "jungle" on Tusitala Street. This locale originally contained the estate of Princess Ka'iulani Cleghorn. More than 20 years ago, these charm­ing, if decaying, homes were razed, to

be replaced by high rises. To this day, this special parcel sits vacant, weed-rid­den, surrounded by chain link fence and without evident use or purpose, at least to its neighbors.

Local news is more important than ever and is vital to informing citizen voters. Now that our two competing dailies have peen amalgamated into one rather bland product, we're getting even less than before. Seems like a return to the days of the joint operating agree­ment two decades ago when business operations of the Bulletin and Advertiser were combined. Now, as before, we're seeing more national wire stories of lit­tle relevance to our lives. (Recently the Star Advertiser ran a feature about "liv­ing green," which included a bit about the futility of raising chickens-because of death threats from "raccoons" and "opossum.")

The Star Advertiser has simply re­placed the Gannett Corporation as the monopoly player, and it is even more noxious because it also controls Midweek, the only other mass-market publication. Now, there are no other op­tions for foreclosure ads and legal no­tices from the county and the state, so ad pricing has jumped through the roof. The conglomerate has consolidated the printing presses on O'ahu and raised the printing price for all who use their press. The Weekly was compelled to go to Maui for printing. And we're not alone-Pacific Business News followed suit and moved over to the Maui News presses, where the rates are more rea­sonable and the quality is better.

Since we started publishing, the

• • • BABY

Internet has become a vital player in the distribution of news and informa­tion. While indispensable for research, the Internet can also be a compelling distraction. Our brave new world now includes computer games, tweets, web­based porn and Facebook. These en­ticements can distract us from things more germane, more crucial to our very survival. We must do more than con­sume sophisticated biogs or entertain­ing tweets. As our planet warms, as our seas acidify and as our forests decline, we must pay more attention to the frag­ile state of our world. This isn't to say there aren't important, instant, news­worthy headlines to watch via Twitter, Huffington Post, Facebook, etc., but we can't neglect what's right in front of our faces.

Though more web sources exist for news and opinion, many are not prima­ry sources at all, but rather are simply news aggregators that use other publica­tions' work without payment. Another free rider problem has evolved: public relations companies work hard to "place their stories" in the media. Marketing budgets are increasingly diverted to PR firms. And here's the irony-as more money is taken out of actual advertising, less money is available to maintain the cash flow necessary for publishing the vehicles for the stories. Eventually, the public relations firms will have fewer publications in which to place their ar­ticles and press releases.

The Internet is unable to fund essen­tial professional journalists because no one has yet created a sustainable fund­ing mechanism. This l<eaves a major

hole in the web of news, particularly local news. Who else can cover those tedious land-use meetings and do the research that yields groundbreaking, policy-changing journalism? The ad­mirable Civil Beat was founded (as well as funded) by Pierre Omidyar, but it's not yet clear whether subscriptions will cover expenses in the long run.

While Honolulu Weekly is neither big nor wealthy, we have tried to do our best with limited resources. Passion to freely explore issues and ideas are what drives us, and because of that, we've at­tracted many of the best and brightest writers, editors and other talented play­ers, many of whom are in key positions throughout the publishing community. The numerous awards the Weekly has won over the years are testimony to the skill and commitment of these people to journalistic excellence and to our Island community.

That we have helped to change the course of politics, elections and land use is the payoff for starting and main­taining this newspaper for the last two decades. We hope to continue into the future with the support of our readers, advertisers and staff. Please consider doing more to support our Island pub­lications (web and print) by using the services and products of the advertisers who ultimately pay for the work that we do to provide you with solid informa­tion, important community news and exciting arts coverage.

Thank you for making Honolulu Weekly possible.

Hoots,Ro Jawaiian. Controversy boils over the impact of

on Hawaiian culture ByUzaSlmon

Roots., Rock, Jawailan? Liza Simon Volume 1, Issue 17 November 6, 1991

Jawaiian-the fusion of cha-lang-a-lang, ukulele­dominated Hawaiian song

with bass-and-drum-heavy reg­gae (itself a product of a mar­riage of African-influenced Jamaican folk with American R&B) - was just a few months ago riding high on a wave of unprecedented popularity and commercial success. Thanks primarily to the Jawaiian genre, 1990 was the biggest year in memory for sales of locally­produced recordings and con­cert tickets. But in recent weeks, growing numbers of Hawaiian cultural authorities have been expressing deep concern about the impact of Jawaiian music on Hawaiian heritage. The reg­gae-influenced hybrid, they say, is diluting the cultural integrity of Hawaiian music.

The Molokai Newspaper Wars Curt Sanburn Volume 2, Issue 53 December 30, 1992

With three independent newspapers-The Molokai Dispatch,

The Molokai Advertiser News, and The Pueo-fighting for the attention of the close-knit island 's 6000-plus residents , the battle is intense and in­creasingly personal. .. Working with shoestring budgets and staffs that are largely volunteer or non-existent, a handful of publisher/editors are defining the issues that the island thinks and argues about. .. "Objective" journalism does not exist ; point-of-view, persuasion-and obsessions-have taken over ... Island advertisers are akamai enough to spread their adver­tising dollars among the three, and most local folk confess to at least looking at all of them.

The Aikane Tradition: Homosexuality in Old Hawai'i Curt Sanburn Volume 3, Issue 19 May 12, 1993

Several months ago, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin published a column by

Detroit News editor Deb Price, the nation 's only widely syn­dicated gay columnist, on ho­mosexuality and hula. Noting that the hula continues to be a focal point for the Hawaiian gay community, Price reported the frequent use of traditional homosexual love stories in hula

chants, most notably in the se­ries of epic chants known as the Pele cycle. In the column, titled "History of Gay Romance Behind the Hula Chants," Price also discussed the prestige of the aikane-or same-sex companion - among the ali'i (nobility) in old Hawai'i, a phe­nomenon that had been gravely but duly reported by several journalists who accompanied Captain James Cook on his last voyage of discovery.

The New Male-ettes Van Smith Volume 4, Issue 30 July 27, 1994

Increasing amounts of com­mon chemicals that mimic the female sex hormone

estrogen are finding their way into our food , air, water and bodies. Some scientists are wondering whether these en­viron mental estrogens may be causing a gender-bending crossover, a reproductive crisis to usher in the new millennium. A swift kick to the groin might be nothing compared to this new threat. . .In short, exposure to ubiquitous estrogen-aping chemicals may be stripping the male gender of its fertility and virility. It is too soon to say for sure - the estrogen hypoth-

Reality Bytes David K. Choo Volume 5, Issue 24 June 14, 1995

Internet. There has been enough hype to crash a hard drive. Praised by electronic

evangelists as the future of hu­man interaction, the Internet just may b·e the next step af­ter the Gutenberg revolution, liberation from the tyranny of editors , publishers , program directors and network execu­tives ... What is arguably the Internet's most important de­velopment has been the recent introduction of the World Wide Web, a link of computers across the country that gives non-com­puter jockeys an opportunity to painlessly enter cyberspace and enjoy some of its wonders.

hood then when the Polynesians arrived 1500 years ago ... As it is for most creatures, Hawai'i is a pleasant place for ants.

In the 55 years since its first documented sighting on Oahu, the adaptable, aggres­sive Argentine ant has slowly established itself in limited areas of shrub land on the up­per slopes of Haleakala and in the cinder deserts of the crater itself. Scientists speculate the ants have leap-frogged up the mountain with human help. The fact they were first dis­covered in the vicinity of park headquarters would seem to support this theory.

Your Right to Die Christine Thomas Volume 7, Issue 19 May 7, 1997

Hawai'i's law, as it stands now, states that person is guilty of manslaugh­

ter if she "intentionally cause another person to commit sui­cide." This could certainly be interpreted to mean that if you were a doctor who helped a ter-

minally ill person to end her life, you could be charged with manslaughter. But would you?

Some courts have decided that a doctor who follows a pa­tient's directive to administer a life-ending procedure - admin-

istering a lethal injection, say, as Dr. Jack Kevorkian allegedly did for a Michigan woman last year - is not "causing" suicide, but simply facilitating it. . .In some assisted-suicide cases, it has also been asked whether doctors are truly "assisting" a patient in carrying out their own wish to die, or whether they are crossing the line to "mercy killing," or euthanasia.

Legislatures in the Wry Robert M. Rees Volume 8, Issue 19 May 13, 1998

The session started for real on Jan. 26, with Gov. Ben Cayetano's state­

of-the-state address. Whereas Gov. Pete Wilson of California had boasted, "California is the powerhouse of the Pacific," and Gov. George Pataki of New York had proclaimed, "New York stands at the dawn of its greatest day," Cayetano, may­be coming down with a case of dyslexia, said, "The slogan 'Think local, act global' has special meaning for us."

In almost no time at all, just like in Holden Caufield's hotel lousy with perverts, the House and Senate members were in hysterics spitting all over each other. Both branches accepted the really dumb premise that what Hawai'i needs most is to make its rich richer. Then each branch impaled itself on one of two horns of a fake and in­consequential dilemma. The House, in support of the Task Force, wanted to finance tax cuts for the wealthy by increas­ing the excise tax; the Senate wanted to finance the tax cuts for the wealthy by eliminating government jobs and services for the poor.

Sam Lona's Legacy Ian Bauer Volume 9, Issue 32 August 11, 1999

S am Lono was known as a healer and an activist. Some questioned in ex­

pertise in both of these activi­ties, as he rose to prominence through high-profile occupa­tions of public lands for the sake of Hawaiian history. Yet the land he cultivated remains, and succeeding generations continue to care for it and the Hawaiian culture.

As a practitioner of Hawaiian religion, Lono professed to be­ing a kahuna la'au lapa'au - a medicinal kahuna. Criticized by scholars and Hawaiian reli­gious leaders for this assertion, he further claimed to be the di­rect descendent of the Hawaiian god Lono, god of agriculture and medicine. Despite personal attacks, Lono attracted a group of dedicated followers.

Thrills. Spills. Kills. Ric Valdez Volume 10, Issue 10 March 8, 2000

This is where Hawai'i's good old boys stay - toothless survivors of

Bataan; Hawaiians; Portuguese; Asian persuasions; haole - a configuration of local people, old and young, as colorful and feisty as any rooster.

Cockfighting offered Hawai'i's immigrants more than entertainment. It afforded the folks hosting fights an op­portunity to make some extra cash; emotionally, these week­end derbies provided over­worked and underpaid planta­tion workers an occasion to whoop it up after payday, dis­play a bit of cultural pride and relieve frustrations vicariously via two hell-bent roosters - to feel like champs.

Mr. Tidy Sally Apgar Volume 11, Issue 31 August 1, 2001

Mayor Jeremy Harris is in the midst of trying to coax through the

Honolulu City Council a pro­posal to displace Club Rock-Za and several other businesses on six parcels in the shad.ow of the Convention Center to make way for his "Gateway to Waikiki," an open-air plaza with lush landscaping, new re­tai I and outdoor dining ... To refurbish the moral center of his city for the tourist indus­try, Harris has proposed estab­lishing a Convention Center Special District which calls for the elimination of all adult-

entertainment shops within a three-year period and some strict design requirements for the business that will be al­lowed to stay ... Not surpris­ingly, the area mauka and Ewa of the Convention Center has the highest concentration of legal strip clubs, hostess bars, massage parlors and other adult businesses in the state. It contains about 31 establish­ments with liquor licenses and include~ about 20 adult-enter­tainment businesses. Last year, police made 150 arrests at adult businesses in the area, includ­ing 71 for prostitution.

Niche Market Eduardo Hernandez Volume 13, Issue 26 July 1, 2003

In the United States, gay and lesbian tourism is said to be worth more than $54 bil­

lion annually. However, despite having one of the most sophis­ticated tourism research infra­structures of any destination, and a savvy global marketing plan, the state of Hawai'i has largely ignored gay travelers ... If Hawai'i is serious about at­tracting high-spending visitors, it should consider in its mar­keting plans at least the West Coast gay mark.et - with its hundreds of thousands of big­spending, beach-loving urban dwellers in Vancouver, Seattle,

Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, who are just waiting for the world to jump a plane to Waikiki for a long, sun-and-fun weekend.

Extra Special Becky Maltby Volume 14, Issue 33 August 18, 2004

Producers constantly wor­ry about inexperience and lack of professional­

ism. To prevent the powers that be from importing mainland talent, Hawai'i needs to prove it's ready for its close-up.

To be or not to be an extra? That is the question.

Watch Baywatch Hawai'i reruns and you'll see a bustle of activity - people walking in and out of the rolling surf, body boards, Frisbees and footballs. Excessive movement sends the not-so-subliminal message that this is a fun-filled place.

The good news is that being hired as an extra is as simple as signing up, although there's never a guarantee. If you're available and pliable, you al­ready possess two essential requirements.

On Dec. 7, the City Council will convene to make a very diffi­

They will consider whether to affirm their Nov. 21 vote (5-4) in favor in accepting a lawsuit settlement that would divide the owner­ship of Waimea Valley between the city and New York inves­tor Christian Wolffer, who ac­quired the valley in 1996 by as­suming then-owner Attractions Hawai'i's $12 million mort­gage .. .If the settlement does not happen, the case will go through a costly trial, opening up the possibility for the court to give Wolffer title to the en­tire valley if it decides that the $5.1 million put up by the city to condemn the land in 2002 was not a fair price. Losing the val­ley altogether and having to pay additional damages may be the city's worst-case scenario.

Game Over Chris Haire Volume 16, Issue 5, February 1, 2006

It appears there is noth­ing anyone can do to stop the University Affiliated

And they're not likely to tell the US Navy that UH is an unfriendly port. .. Under the proposed UARC, professors will be forbidden to share some of their research materials with their peers. Unlike UH, the Navy-con­trolled UARC could conceiv­ably bar anyone who admitted they were homosexual. . .In the end, the chips are UH's to bet. It appears to be a gamble the board is willing to take.

Slinging Ink: Tattooing For the Love of tne Art Kevin Whitton Volume 17, Issue 30 July 25, 2007

Thirty-five years ago, Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins, the father of

American tattooing held the first ever tattoo convention at his home on O'ahu.

Dwelling On It John Wythe White Volume 18, Issue 28, July 9, 2008

Circumstances gave birth to what soon became known as Taylor Camp,

an eclectic and serendipitous gathering of hippies, surfers, seekers, draft evaders, Vietnam War vets, world travelers, back­packers and other refugees from the '60s, who constructed a counter-cultural, anti-estab­lishment community of semi­permanent tree house structures that matured and evolved until the state finally obiiterated it jn 1977. To critical outsiders, it was an eyesore, a threat to tour­ism and a breeding ground for allsorts of status quo, threaten­ing behavior. To residents, it was heaven on earth.

Beach Bum Babylon Mitchell Kuga Volume 19, Issue 34 August26,2009

It's a bit of mystery as to why nude beaches haven't been officially accepted

in Hawai'i, a state sporting all the necessary credentials-a vibrant tourist industry, year­round tropical weather and long beaches of sandy unoccupied coast-for a nude beach uto­pia. No official nude beach ex­ists in Hawai'i ... Which doesn't

make nude bathing in Hawai'i illegal. By law, nudity is legal at Hawai'i State Parks. In Hawai'i, nudity includes women's breasts. Genitals - which are defined as reproductive sexual organs - don't include breasts, mean­ing that a woman sunbathing in Waikiki has as much right as the shirtless guy next to her.

Cut to the Bones Joan Conrow Volume 20, Issue 14 April 7, 2010

Standing atop seven ancient Hawaiian burials, on a lot with at least 24 more, the

house that Joe Brescia is build­ing on Naue, on Kaua'i's North

Shore, has been the focus of protests and prayers, emotional meetings, a stand-off with po­lice, sacred rituals, a months­long vigil and lawsuits - some of them are still ongoing .. .The house, now nearing completion has become a powerful sym­bol of the bitter battle between development and cultural pres-

ervation in Hawai'i. It's also ex­posed serious shortcomings in the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) and come to represent what some see as a de­liberate attempt by Gov. Linda Lingle and her administration to undermine and circumvent the Island Burial Councils in order to facilitate development.

SMART GRID

Only by harnessing a wide variety of renewable resources will

we achieve a Clean Energy Future for Hawaii. That means

investing in local resources like wind, sun, ocean, geothermal,

biomass and biofuels. It means using energy more efficiently in

our homes and businesses. By reducing our dependence on

imported oil, we can keep millions and perhaps billions of dollars

here at home and create local jobs in many energy-related

industries. To find out more about the steps we all must take,

Media Waves There are 129 alt-weeklies throughout the nation, most of them, entirely ignored by mainstream media. For the most part, these publications place a high priority on local news, culture and the arts; an informal and sometimes profane style; emphasis on point-of-view reporting and narrative journalism; and tolerance for individual freedoms and social issues. Alternative publications are known for their analyses of significant political and community issues, along with entertainment hot spots for food, film, music, art and books. But why would a person with no journalism experience want to join the erratic, high-risk world of offbeat publishing?

During a mid-morning editorial meeting, publisher Laurie V. Carlson shares why she chose to tackle controversial community issues through a left-leaning lens that's rarely offered by our now singular daily newspaper. With abundant media choices and rapid circulation turn-over, Carlson has survived two decades in the tanking world of print media publications. One thousand forty issues later, the Honolulu Weekly remains a voice for local culture, publishing stories that make a positive change in our community. Congratulations Laurie, and Happy Anniversary.

LUCY JOKIEL

You're a publisher, executive and advertising salesperson. Are you also a journalist? I can write, but I'm not a writer. A writer is compelled to write. I'm not. I'm kind of a dilettante. I'm a garbage bin for information. I know a little

bit about a lot of things. I'm a generalist, a big picture person.

What did your parents think about your newspaper venture? My father was totally mystified that it actually worked, but Mom was my constant cheerleader. She always told me, "You can do anything you want."

What was your first job? I volunteered at Kokua Foods, which just celebrated its 40-year anniversary. It was an experimental learning ground where I learned about business. We helped change the state law so we could operate as a co-op. I also did business plans and board member training. I probably learned more about

business at Kokua than I did at Yale. I traveled to the mainland to seek [career] advice from my mentor, Sam Sulkin, the senior planner at the Puget Sound Co-op (PCC) in Seattle. He operated 22 stores out in the Alaskan bush, and he persuaded me to go there to help out for nine months. I've returned every year since then to go fishing.

When did you make the decision to launch Honolulu Weekly? I got a business plan from friends who had started a weekly in New Haven, Connecticut, and I used it as a grid for a similar publication in Honolulu. The most difficult part was raising start-up money. We raised $100,000 the first year and $100,000 the second year. I networked with my socially liberal/ progressive friends. Lots of people told me it would never work. I didn't know what to do. Should I just give the money back and quit? Then I went to a mainland alternative publishing convention, and someone asked me: "When are you going to jump off the cliff?" As it turned out, I took the leap and we did quite well from the beginning.

Can you describe a difficult time? The Weekly's relationship with writer Bob Rees. He was a brilliant iconoclast, but he was a little on the edge, and some of his battles with our writers were

pretty intense. He did what he wanted because he was fearless and didn't care what others thought. Historically, many people who are brilliant and fearless are not always easy to get along with.

What does the future hold for the Weekly? That's hard to say-not only because of the changing seas of media but also rough economic times, which is more traumatic than the changing media. It's going to be difficult for the next few years. I think there's a lot more business out there for the Weekly. We just have to go after new businesses for advertising. We are all competing for the attention of people who see about 27,000 ads a day. So, as simplistic as it sounds, what Honolulu Weekly offers is the best content. •

Behind the Covers HW editors and contributors on waste, war and being clubbed to death

A Generation Greener Mindy Pennybacker Editor 2007-2008, Author of Do One Green Thing

Hawai'i will probably al­ways be the state with the most endangered

species, and at least one, the Maui po'ouli, a black-faced honeycreeper, was declared ex­tinct in 1997. Over the past 20 years, however, public aware­ness and action have made our islands a little greener.

In 1991, when the Weekly was founded, the University of Hawai'i at Manoa's School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) was only three years old, and Bill McKibben's prophetic book on global warming, The End of Nature, was being dismissed as unsound science by climate skeptics. Today, the skeptics are in the minority, thanks to the work of scientists such as Chip Fletcher's SOEST team, whose "blue line" maps of flooding due to sea level rise provided a wake-up call to our islands in 2007.

To deliver on our statewide commitment to 80 percent renewable energy by 2050, Hawai'i has become a national leader in implementing solar energy, providing generous in­centives for both homeowners and businesses. That means we should also be charging our electric vehicles, which the state has also invested in, with photovoltaic (PY) energy.

Further reducing our reli­ance on imports and the fossil fuels they burn, we're eating local. The Hawaii Regional Cuisine movement also turns 20 this year, and we now have dozens of farmers' markets.

But will we still have farms? While there are bright spots, such as last year's ruling that Turtle Bay's owners must do a new environmental impact statement (EIS) before their resort expansion will be con­sidered, agricultural lands have been reclassified for urban de­velopment at Koa Ridge and Ho'opili, fueling suspicions that our current light rail plan is just greenwashing for more urban sprawl. At La'ie, a proposed hotel and luxury residences are putting pressure on ag-zoned Malaekahana.

Overfishing, poaching, coastal development and pol-1 u tion, and ocean warming and acidification due to green­house gases continue to threat­en Hawai'i's protective coral reefs and another important local food source. Hope has arrived in the form of our new national marine monument,

Papahanaumokuakea, where commercial fishing is banned and coastal habitats such as Pupukea Paumalu are pre­served from development.

Thirty-one species of Hawai'i's native birds are en­dangered by habitat loss and invasive animals and plants. Introduction of alien species to outer islands was a concern raised by Super Ferry critics in 2008; requiring an EIS set a much-needed standard in both that case and at Makua Valley. But perhaps the most crucial environmental prec­edent of the last generation was 1995's Public Access Shoreline Hawaii (PASH) case, in which our Supreme Court found that the Hawaiian Kingdom Law protecting cultural tradi­tions and gathering rights still holds sway. It is the legacy of late Chief Justice William Richardson.

Since PASH, farmers at Waiahole/Waikane, West Maui and Kohala have gained partial restoration of their streams af­ter a century's diversion to ir­rigate industrial plantations. But looking ahead, freshwater shortages will become a cru­cial concern, as aquifers are depleted and contaminated by saltwater, an effect exacerbated by sea level rise. In 2003, wa­ter board managers said that Central O'ahu and Maui could deplete groundwater supplies in less than 20 years. Do we want to be drinking desali­nated ocean water at huge ex­pense and to the detriment of our coastal habitats, or do we want to conserve? It's time to focus on using less, more ef­ficiently, and getting out from behind our screens and into our islands' priceless natural envi­ronment. Seeing is believing that we can't afford not to care.

The Trash Heap Has Spoken Ragnar Carlson, Editor 2008-2010

How's that new landfill working out? Oh wait.

Early in the last decade, the administration of Jeremy Harris attempted to deal with a public infrastructure problem that had vexed O'ahu for decades. The question: what to do with our waste.

Honolulu's ever-soaring mountain of garbage had long since outgrown the city solid­waste landfill at Waimanalo Gulch on the Leeward coast, which, at 60 acres, is the small­est in the state. For health and safety reasons, as well as the proximity of Ko Olina Resort and-somewhat further down the list-social justice con­cerns, the pressure was on city leaders to find a new site for

the next generation of O'ahu trash. Harris announced his intention to close Waimanalo Gulch, and the search was on for a new site.

In 2003, after months of hearings and meetings, a city­appointed panel came up with its recommendation for the city's new landfill: Waimanalo Gulch.

Outcry. Outrage. More hear­ings. But NIMBY is a power­ful word in politics, and when then-Councilman Rod Tam suggested that in the interest of fair play, perhaps the new dump should be placed in East Honolulu's Koko Crater-you know, where the botanical gar­den is-the 'opala hit the fan. In the end, the landfill stayed open. A new mayor took office the following year with a prom­ise to close Waimanalo Gulch. Panels, hearings, meetings, etc. With the annual haul at an ex­panded dump up to nearly half a million tons of waste, then­mayor Mufi Hannemann an­nounced a plan to ship O'ahu's garbage to North America while the search for a new site continued.

In 2011, Honolulu has yet another mayor, its gar­bage never did make that trip to Washington state and Waimanalo Gulch remains open for business.

Most of the time, any­way. Early this year the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shut down the site after heavy rains brought the gulch's medical waste cas­cading down onto Leeward beaches. The backlog closed regional refuse centers around the island for days and brought Honolulu's waste issues into national headlines once again.

So here we go again: Two years ago, the Land Use Commission ordered Honolulu to find a new site. Mayor Peter Carlisle has assembled a panel to lead the search. That panel is currently holding meetings. The state has ordered Waimanalo Gulch to stop accepting solid waste in July 2012.

The City's plan? To ask for an extension. You know you've got prob­

lems when your garbage has its own web site. Visit www. opala.org for more informa­tion on the city's search for a new solid-waste landfill.

One Thousand Reviews, and Holding Bob Green Film Critic since 1991

After a few issues, 20 years ago, I was ap­proached and given an

earful by an aging wag from the UH-Manoa Journalism

Department: "The Weekly," he said, with scoffing laughter (and the freedom of the ten-ured), "doesn't have a chance in hell."

The portly scribe, a mole for the Honolulu Newspaper Agency, or so he proved to be, then circled me, moving in for the alleged kill. "An ... alterna-tive paper? Honolulu doesn't like alternatives. We worship the past in Hawai'i, and we hate change." Apparently he had thrown down some sort of gauntlet.

"I bet you," I told him, "The Weekly will still be around in ... five years."

I hadn't any real notion, of course, but I had spent five years working for the Maui Sun, a feisty little paper with even stiffer opposition than I thought the Weekly might have.

"The Weekly," I continued, "wants a small, select read-ership qf people who vote in elections, want more social progress, and aren't subsumed by·a plantation mentality."

"I'll see your wager-a hun-dred bucks," he said.

"Twenty," I responded. "After all, I work for a little paper."

Honolulu at night change and you've also seen it not change at all. If someone had been cryo­genically frozen, then woken up years later and dropped off at the edge of Kalakaua Avenue, the patient would probably go, "Hey, wasn't the Wave here?" Then he'd soon realize the pro­moter opened his own place right down the street. Nightlife works in cycles that way.

Once bustling, before be­coming a wasteland made up of townies at Oceans and meat­ies at Ruth's Chris, Restaurant Row seems be breathing some new life again with Nocturna Lounge. But we don't see mov­ies there anymore. Remember how midnight weekend screen­ings started at Wallace Theatres way back when, and now witch­ing-hour showtimes are to be expected on Saturdays nights at the Ward Entertainment Complex? But even after that and before it became a home­less shelter because of $1 ad­mission prices, the Wallace at Restaurant Row turned into an arthouse theater. Then that didn't work and all the artsy fartsy flicks went to Varsity. Then Varsity bit the dust, and suddenly, of all places, Kahala Mall has become the saviour for independent films in Hawai'i. But then it makes sense be­cause they have a Whole Foods

Strangely it's now essen­tially all about a part of town once known for its homeless folks and meth addicts, as well as a re-furbished apartment (3), a pizza place open till 4AM and a hotel that used to be part of the Ilikai.

We saw the signs for Chinatown coming though. The Opium Den at Indigo. Poetry slams at that old place called Studio One. Raves at the venue now known as the Loft. (For that matter, raves used to take place in corn fields. Now they're at water parks?!)

All there really is to do is lie back and enjoy the buzz because just like interns, en­tertainment comes and goes. And, sometimes, returns again. Hopefully 20 years from now, I myself will be lying back and enjoying the buzz from the comfort of my own Kahala mansion, preferably the one George Clooney filmed that little movie in. (Two decades ago, Clooney was best known for his recurring role on the sitcom The Facts of Life as Jo's boyfriend. Go figure.)

If not me, (since I will with­out a shadow of a doubt be way too old to leave the house), hope­fully someone at the Weekly will still be watching. Hopefully there will be a Weekly. Local en­tertainment deserves an altema-

tive weekly to watch it. Besides, you can curse in alt weeklies. And sometimes that's what we need to entertain us in our hum­ble little city: A good fuck in the night.

Civil Rights, 2011 Chad Blair Former Managing Editor Reporter for Honolulu Civil Beat civil beat.corn

The nation's march toward equal rights for same-sex couples began in Hawai'i

two months before Honolulu Weekly was born. It was May I, 1991, when three same-sex couples filed suit (Baehr v. Lewin) against the Department of Health (DOH) because they were denied marriage licenses in 1990.

As we all know, in 1993 the Hawai'i Supreme Court determined that the plain­tiffs may have been discrimi­nated against under the equal protection clause of the state Constitution. What happened next has had repercussions through to present day, nation­ally and at home.

Led by religious conser­vatives like Mike Gabbard and Father Marc Alexander, Hawai'i voters approved a con­stitutional amendment in 1998 allowing the state Legislature to limit marriage to opposite­sex couples. Gabbard was later elected to the Honolulu City Council and the state Senate, changing from a Republican to a Democrat along the way.

Today, Gabbard is focused on clean energy issues, once a progressive issue that has be­come mainstream. Meanwhile, Alexander stepped down as vicar general of the Roman Catholic Diocese this spring to serve as Gov. Abercrombie's czar on homelessness-another once progressive issue that has now become mainstream.

Twenty years after Baehr v. Lewin, Hawai'i still doesn't have gay marriage, but six states and the District of Columbia do. Sure, we've got civil unions ... but not until January l. While progressive on many fronts-abortion, health care, labor rights-Hawai'i remains behind the curve on the civil rights issue of our time. The federal Defense of Marriage Act is soon to follow "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" into the his­torical dustbin that holds Plessy v. Ferguson and Jim Crow and miscegenation laws.

But Hawai'i has changed in one big way: While the Catholic Diocese, the Hawaii Family Forum and the Hawaii Christian Coalition remain politically active, they've lost their clout. As demonstrated by the 2010 elections and the pas­sages of civil unions in 2011, homosexuality is no longer an issue at the ballot box.

Where Are The Now? MICHAL JONES-SMITH

For the last 20 years we've eaten our way through Honolulu and beyond, writing about restaurants we love, those we don't love and the ones most people are challenged to find. In looking through our very first volume of food reviews, we discovered that some of the

first places we reviewed are still around.

If you shop carefully and are willing to be adventur­ous with our fruits and veg­

etables, you should be able to avoid the dual evils of scurvy and bankruptcy. Chinatown provides bargains every day, though only if you're willing to put in a little work and put up with varying prices and availability.

Chinatown, 20 years ago, was already a bustle of fresh and cheap produce. Japanese cucumbers were 49 cents a pound, fresh mint was $3.50 a pound and fresh killed chick­ens sold for around $4. Today, prices are a little higher, but still, half the price than what you'll find at supermarkets. As Asian groceries become more and more popular, there's no doubt that Chinatown will be here 20 years from now.

Montezuma's Delight Volume 1, Issue 6 August 21, 1991 El Burrito Alan Young

El Burrito is a clean, honest joint. Bounteous plates and reasonable

prices; it's rare to spend more than six dollars for a meal ... The staff are not unavailing, they're just reasonably busi­nesslike. Friends and patrons give [cassette] tapes to the res­taurant, and during a recent dinner, a homemade tape of what sounded like a southern California Chicano radio sta­tion played on the cassetta con radio. Ole! Now go eat.

El Burrito is still kicking cuisine up a notch. You can still get vegetable, beef, chicken and potato burritos, and, as expect­ed, the "$2.50 bowl of soup" is now $5.50, homemade flan is $3.00 compared to "$1.50." Yolanda Manriquez was there when we visited in 1991, and today, she sits at the table look­ing as if she had never left. For a quarter of a century, we've counted on Manriquez for clas­sic chicano cuisine.

Nick Jagger Served ff ere Volume 1, Issue 8, September 4, 1991 Alan Young

In the anything-but-staid atmosphere of Tokkuri Tei, a splendid joint with a wry

sensibility, sit masks of hu­mans and animals, hand fans and hand-lettered notices of drinks and edibles. 'Tokkuri Tie' is written prominently on the wall opposite the sushi bar. What the hell, you think, they can't spell their own name? ... The cook at this very con­temporary Japanese establish­ment is Korean. All the food is served on ceramic or bamboo or laquerware ... So go for it, you late night rowdies, happy adventurous eaters and cheery imbibers.

A true test of taste lies in the life span of any local eat­ery. This is certainly true with Tokkuri Tei. After having moved a few times in the last 20 years, it's now located on Kapahulu Avenue and still at­tracts large crowds for dinner. Co-owners Santa and Kaz are still running this place; to them we can all say thanks!

Tokkuri Tei, 449 Kapahulu Ave., Open Mon.-Fri. 10:30AM-2PM, Mon.-Sat. 5:30PM-J2AM, Sun. 5PM-J0PM, 732-6480

Homage to Catania Volume 1, Issue 15, October 23, 1991 Dawn Korlioni

A lot of Italian restaura­teurs seem to run their businesses on the same

principles as pushers: Start out with Sinatra on the turntable, endives in the salad, wine in the sauce and prices low enough to run everyone else out of business ... Too many Italian restaurants start out making an offer that can't be refused and then coast on their early reputations all the way to the catacombs. Hopefully, the latest entry onto the Italian scene won't fall into that trap.

Hardly. Catania Italiano Ristorante is still open and serving Italian fare. The menu is smaller and no longer in­cludes veal. Andy Lau is sti II serving enormous plates of seafood pasta and chicken fet­tuccini ($8.75-$10.50) With a lower check average ($7-$11), Catania attracts a more casual

lunch crowd. No longer located in Mo'ili'ili, diners can now enjoy dining in their small and cozy spot on Bishop Street.

Dawn Patrol: Breakfast Among the Wave Warriors Volume 1, Issue 19, November 20, 1991 Alan Young

The Sunday quest for breakfast is best an­swered at Cafe Haleiwa,

afew blocks from the traffic ro­tary (a lethal mororing device if ever I saw one) on the road through Hale'iwa to Laniakea ... You arrive at the cafe, and on the board on the front wall read of mouth-watering specials: homemade banana bread, mahi and eggs, mahi and vegetables. Sharon, she of the dangly dy­namite earrings, kept our pa­per cups of ice water filled and mugs of coffee hot. Also pres­ent were muscled men, tousled

long-haired women, pastel and white visitars, locals bros, you and me and the guy with the tattoo.

The scene is still the same inside Cafe Haleiwa. The cafe eventually added dinner service Thursday through Saturday, and continues to serve mouth­watering brunch items such as French toast, omelets, home fries and espresso drinks. A Mexican menu is also served for lunch, until 2PM. You can expect dinner to be just as good with fish tacos, gnocchi, grilled pork chops with fingerling po­tatoes and homemade dessert (served from 5PM-9PM).

Breakfast at Michel's Volume 2, Issue 1 January 1, 1992 The Spam Brothers

T iming, as they say, is everything. Even the personality of a res­

taurant can vary radically

between daytime and evening hours. Take that venerable old lady of Honolulu's culinary scene, Michel's. In the evening, Michel's is given over to we/1-dressed, blue haired matrons with sport-coated escorts sup­ping on victuals that no doubt scandalize the American Heart Association.

Michel's at the Colony Surf Hotel has changed over the years, from a place where our grandparents dropped sev­eral benjamins to a place where our parents drop theirs. And, for some of us, it's a nostalgic dish of French-accented mai­tre d' and hollandaise sauce combinations. It must be said that Michel's is an iconic re­minder that cuisine in Hawai'i may evolve, but there is a place where one can order a tradition­al bloody mary with a bowl of lobster bisque, all in the name of French tradition.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• COURTESY NO SUCK FEST

Destined to Not Suck Bringing a new sense of punk to the scene one festival at a time NIKO RIVAS

S tretc~ed out on the seanng pavement, just out of earshot from (what's con­sidered in punk-

years) a very old cover band at Anna's, sits the proud and vaguely tipsy group of local heroes orchestrating the third annual DIY punk show, No Suck Fest 2011. A few drinks and games of pool later, and the NSF organizers Dana Paresa, Jayme Shimomura, Elle Grang­er, Kevin Feagins, Shawn An­drews and Nie Ramos (minus Harry Michaelson) are ready to discuss the forthcoming festival destined to not suck. It is 2PM.

No Suck Fest was initially designed to not only counteract the dwindling punk scene in Hawai'i, but also to resurrect the infrastructure of all-ages shows. "We all had this fantastic expe­rience growing up," says Shi­momura. "All of us have been going to shows since we were 13. I personally think it's more or less molded me into who I am. It's a little sad that kids now don't get to have that experience. They can be into the music, but

I don't see how you can be into punk rock and not have a scene to belong to."

While the reference point of 13 or 14 years old may not seem like an impressive time lapse for the now 20-some­thing-year-olds, the changes in Hawai'i's punk scene are un­mistakable. Along with spiked hair, the donning of some re­grettable studded accessories and weathered-to-perfection Converse, out went some of the last existing all-ages venues, such as Club Pauahi and Pink Cadillac.

"We want them to be able to say, 'Who's playing this weekend, let's gol'" say~ Ra­mos. Paresa adds, "It also gives them the opportunity to be so­cial. You're not just hopped up on drugs cruising on the floor watching the laser-show."

When Honolulu provided the accessibility for young kids to see live shows, it became a creative epicenter. How has it turned into a city that ignores the cultural needs of its youth?

Out of the three venues host­ing No Suck Fest, The Loft was the only place to acquiesce an all-ages show. The other venues

have been supportive in other ways: Mercury houses NSF meetings, while Anna's is con­sidering opening up their back parking lot for future all-ages shows. Downbeat Diner will also show their support with generous $2 drinks throughout the event.

This year is the first time that punk bands will be arriv­ing from the mai'nland. Mean Jeans, a Portland pop-punk band akin to The Exploding Hearts, and The Dopamines, a three-piece punk outfit from Ohio, will perform on Saturday. In addition, there will be 20 lo-

EXCLUSIVE ENGAGEMENT NO\tV PLAYING

"That's mother-fucking team­work!" We all take a moment of silence.

A new discussion breaks out for next year's plans, until there is a cacophonous explo­sion of rapid drums and gui­tar. Cover band is now playing Motorhead's "Ace of Spades," and everyone immediately begins to sing and dance ac­cordingly. While they are cut­ting their teeth for no financial profit, their enthusiasm and passion clearly shows that they are having a great time doing it-which is exactly what our music scene needs. They sing in unison, "The pleasure is to play; it makes no difference what you say. I don't share your greed, the only card I need is the Ace of Spades:' •

The Straight Dope A

s of 2011, are we, as a na­tion, using significantly less paper than, say, 20 years ago? The obvious answer, to me, is yes, but then I think of

all the reams of paper around offices and I wonder. Are we really using less paper and, therefore, saving the forests?

-Thom Riley

All I can say is, be prepared for a shock.

First, the backstory. Per­haps the best-known predic­tion of the paperless office

came in a 1975 Business Week article en­titled "The Office of the Future." Reading it today, you're struck by a mix of freakily accurate prediction and laughable na'ivete. At a time when personal computers and the Internet were still embryonic, experts foresaw PCs on every desktop that could talk to each other by network. At the same time, they lamented that a major obstacle to paperlessness would be the boss's at­tachment to dictating letters to a stenog­rapher. As it happened, the steno pool was an early casualty of the digital age.

Predictions of a massive shift from paper documents to electronic ones were like­wise wildly off, at least in the early going. Global consumption of paper doubled be­tween 1980 and 2000. Partly that was be­cause of general economic expansion, but,

By Cecil Adams

strictly on a per-worker basis, US consumption of paper increased 50 percent between 1990 and 2000, inspiring books such as 2001's The Myth of the Paperless Office.

Theorists struggled to explain why this was so. In 2006 sociologist Richard York suggested two possibilities. The first was the Jevons paradox, initially proposed by 19th-century British economist Wil­liam Jevons: as use of a resource becomes more efficient, in effect it becomes cheap­er, which leads to greater use. Better fuel economy doesn't reduce gasoline con­sumption; instead it encourages people to drive more, and overall gas use goes up.

As York recognized, however, the Jevons paradox didn't fully explain why the paperless office had failed to material­ize. Digital technology didn't make paper cheaper; rather, it offered a cheaper alter­native, namely electronic data storage. So why didn't one drive out the other? York proposed the paradox of the paperless of­fice: as the cost of memory technology drops, we create and store more digital documents. Meanwhile, easy access to printers encourages workers to make pa­per copies of all those documents, and to­tal paper use increases.

Other theories abounded. One frequent target of techie scorn was retrograde ex­ecutives and their lingering fondness for a medium they could fold up and make

airplanes out of. A more persuasive explanation, howev­

er, is that computers suck. Paper is cheap and adaptable, and, equally important, almost always works. If you're an office drone scrambling to get a last-minute re­port out, one disaster you're not living in fear of is the Blue Sheet of Death. Com­puters, in contrast, make politicians look reliable. And let's not forget premature high-tech obsolescence. God help the poor sap who committed critical informa­tion to magnetic tape, a floppy disk or a Bernoulli drive.

But here's the surprise. Despite all the above, people eventually did begin using less paper. A lot less. The year 2000 was the peak for both office paper and news­print consumption in the US. Since then, the use of office paper has dropped 40 percent, newsprint 60 percent. Similar re­ductions are being seen in Europe. Some call it a paradigm shift.

Let!s not get giddy about this. The fact that today you can file your tax return electronically and read The New York Times on your iPad doesn't m~an we've saved the rain forest. People use wood for

lots of things besides paper. Worldwide demand for wood products is still increas­ing, in large part due to the growing econ­omies of Asia.

Still, it's reasonably clear we're not up against some implacable law of nature that will drive us to chop down trees till the whole planet looks like Easter Island. Fact is, as far as the forests are concerned, we've been here before. Wood use in the United States hit what would be a long-standing peak in 1906. After that it plunged by a sixth as coal replaced firewood. Overall, US wood consumption didn't surpass its former high until the 1980s, by which time American forests, once thought doomed, had largely recovered.

Could the same thing happen on a glob­al scale? It might, due to the same forces that are starting to make the population crisis seem manageable. In the industri­alized world, people are reducing their paper use for the same reason they have smaller families: life is easier that way. Meanwhile, rising prosperity around the world means there'll be less pressure to clear the forests for firewood or subsis­tence agriculture.

Sure, we're still running out of oil, elec­tric generating capacity, helium, copper, rice, fresh water, technetium, ocean-caught fish, chocolate, topsoil, bananas, tequila and phosphorus, among other things. But look on the bright side. Assuming acid rain, insects, shifts in land use, climate change and disease don't get them, we might, even­tually, be OK on trees.

Death Becotnes Hitn RYAN SENAGA

I t's all done. After 10 years of owls, spells, s_orting hats and broomstick hockey, the J.K. Rowling-c;onverted

must now say goodbye to their beloved characters, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hal­lows: Part 2 seems to do the job well enough.

It's a bit surreal to remember how everything started with a neglected English boy living under a staircase with a pet owl and a slapstick foster fam­ily. Now the surroundings are dark and gray, the magic has a sense of either the sinister or the mournful, and nice people

are dying left and right. But as Blink-182 once sang, I guess this is growing up.

Suffice to say, a lot more happens here than in Part 1. (Then again, thgtt ain't saying much since all they did in the last movie was hike and camp, rinse, repeat.) "Epic" would be the wrong word to describe the events in Part 2. Things are downright biblical here. The Christ-like Harry finally faces off against his nose-less, Satan­like arch-enemy, Voldemort. There's even a resurrection of sorts involved for Harry, but to completely understand his sec­ond coming, you had to have read the books (which has al­ways been the problem with the

later films). Those who don't worship at the House of Rowl­ing always felt like there were things missing from the al­ready lengthy previous entries. People would fill you in on cer­tain elements from the novels that didn't make the screenplay and, eventually, for the non-fan, the franchise became more like a puzzle rather than something to simply be entertained by.

And while the action in Part 2 keeps the attention span, se­riously, we're not seeing any­thing new here. A twisting and turning cart ride in a goblin bank looks like it came straight out of the Temple of Doom. We meet a nice pale dragon, but we've met lots of nice dragons

MILA KUNIS

The last Harry Potter flick ever should have fans bawling in the aisles. before. Then there's the cave troll-looking things duking it out with stone knights on the Hogwarts bridge. Peter Jackson should receive partial credit for those FX.

Everyone turns in fine enough performances and there are cameos by many from the earlier entries. (The crowning achievement of the series should be it's downright comprehensive casting of practically every A­list actor and actress in the Unit­ed Kingdom. Except for poor Colin Firth and Daniel Craig. No one could find any room for them?) The three leads have all grown up nicely and blah, blah, blah, but the only two actors who truly are allowed the room

to give actual performances are Michael Gambon (as the deceased Dumbledore) and Alan Rickman (as the slithery Professor Severus Snape), who both act the living crap out of a flashback that finally explains why Snape was always so darn cranky. Even with Rickman's almost asthmatic theatrical hiss­ing, he still manages to elicit the most sympathy in the film.

How affected you are by the proceedings is intrinsically linked to how invested you are with the source material. And those invested with it are legion. At the fan-attendance­heavy preview screening, peo­ple were literally bawling their eyes out while saying their cin­ematic farewells, awkwardly clawing at their 3-D goggles to wipe away tears. If you think this is you, then screw X-Men: First Class, this is the movie of the summer.

(Incidentally, the 3-D is a waste of time and money. It darkens an already extremely dimly-lit film.) •

Clocking Out Early MATTHEW DEKNEEF

I t's happy hour at a lo­cal bar and three friends crack up a drunken plot to

kill the autocratic, abusive su­periors standing in the way of their promotion, their company morale and their right to a safe workplace environment; in a textbook word used in many a Fortune 500 PowerPoint on ori­entation day: their happiness.

Such is the premise of the Seth Gordon comedy Hor­rible Bosses, and considering the country's current economic state, it's straightforward, rel­evant and audience-approved. Theoretically, it's a great co­medic R-rated premise. But like the white-collar routines central to the film's frustra­tions, Horrible Bosses starts off strong and promising, only to quickly become tired, trapped, stupid and unchallenging. The thought "Is this worth it?" is one you should be entertaining in the drab corners of your of­fice cubicle, not in the theater seating of the summer-licious comedy season.

The three guys at the heart of the action are TV favorites Ja­son Bateman (Arrested Devel-

opment), Jason Sudeikis (SNL) and Charlie Day (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia). Col­lectively this comedy trinity has an effortless chemistry we can get behind. They appear to genuinely like each other (both on- and off-screen), and their timing takes turns be­tween subtle and over-the-top, without trying to upstage each other. Awesome. Now that this rapport has been established, let's kill some assholes!

Considering the "horribles" in our crosshairs, Bateman's boss, played by Kevin Spacey (reprising his role from Swim­ming with Sharks), is the only one who lives up to the job. He's manipulative, unrelenting,

unreasonably impossible, and, in a great demonstration of too­real employee power politics, he tricks an eager Bateman into having a glass of whiskey at eight in the morning. When he smiles, you actually want him dead.

It's the other two who don't look as good as their resumes.

Excellent cast can't save this lazy script Jason Sudeikis's irresponsible boss is a tacky coked-out loser played by an unrecognizable Colin Farrell, whose intention­ally bad comb-over is begging for a laugh (not a good look). It's a totally broad and forget­table character in what feels like a wasted opportunity, since Farrell is actually a great actor. Most glaring though is Jennifer Aniston as a crude and over­sexed dentist who mercilessly molests her assistant Charlie Day. In the real world, it's a far­fetched idea, but ifs a movie, so we'll let it slide. In Holly­wood world, however, tabloids have positioned us to perceive

Aniston as society's archetype of Sad, Aging, Single Woman Who'll Never Find Happiness Without a Man, so we'll. .. laugh? Also, I don't have a de­gree in Women's Studies, but when it feels like a movie's simply jerking itself on making Aniston do demeaning things, is that misogynistic?

It's surprising how quickly six wonderful actors can be reduced with script that just sleepwalks from one unimagi­native gag into another. Hor­rible Bosses won't ruin your weekend by any means, it's just that the material is so aggra­vatingly average. With all this talent involved, they should've just called it Disappointing Bosses. That way we could've known what sort of jokes we're shelling out $10.25 for. (Related note: Hawai'i's minimum wage is $7.25. Hilarious.) •

Gryl-ling Up Green

Grylt, located in Manoa Marketplace, serves up Healthy fresh, local ingredients for a quick, wholesome Fast Food meal. Steering away from not-so-healthy island staples

like mac-salad and gravy-smothered meats, the eatery is a lean, mean healthy plate lunch machine. It's possible.

Its design-your-own dining style starts with the savory plate ($9.95), and then moves on to the starch, the salad and the protein. The concept is simple enough, and yes we've seen it before, but choices like mashed cau­liflower (instead of potatoes), kalbi short ribs and a variety of sauces made from scratch set this place apart from most, if not all, of the others.

If lunch on a plate isn't your thing, try out one of their signature salads ($9.95), including a Mediterranean salad made with bleu cheese, candied pecans and sun-dried tomatoes. Top it off with any one of their five pro­tein choices-steak, chicken, ahi tuna, tofu or shrimp. And if your sweet tooth needs a little closure, you can always opt for an a9ai bowl.

Armed with a former fine restaurant chef, Grylt also plans to ex­pand to WaikTkI and San Diego. Expect utensils made from sugarcane, corn and potato. Expect ahi with wasabi. Expect something very new.

Red Beans and Ice

In other cultures, shave ice goes beyond flavored syrups MARTHA CHENG

Honolulu is not an ice cream town. San Francisco, despite summer days being a full

30 degrees cooler than our av­erage day, seems to open a new ice cream parlor· every season, exploring flavors from salted caramel to secret breakfast (cornflakes and bourbon). Ho­nolulu, on the other hand, has been losing ice cream shops: Dave's Hawaiian Ice Cream on Kapahulu, Ben and Jerry's near Ward. Gelato, ice cream's Italian cousin, hasn't fared any better-both Mondo Gelato and A Latta Gelata closed in the last year. Bubbies appears to be the exception, filled daily with people having mochi ice cream and the occasional Mul­tiple Orgasm (ice cream pie).

I have a few theories on why we can't seem to sustain an ice cream parlor-maybe it's the lactose-intolerant Asian population, maybe it's the high costs of starting an ice cream bu&iness. But the epiphany came recently on a particularly hot day when my car's steering wheel melted my fingerprints off and I ducked into City Cafe for shave ice relief. The effect of a mouthful of frozen shaved water was instantaneous; a trip to Alaska or a walk-in freezer was no longer necessary. And I realized: ice cream is like a swimming pool in Hawai'i, a luxury item where there are cheaper and more effective op­tions (shave ice and the beach, for example). We'll probably always want ice cream with our dessert at a fancy restaurant, just like we want a hotel with a pool. But for everyday refresh­ment, shave ice is perfection. And so while San Franciscans debate the merits of ice cream shops like i3i-Rite, Humphry Slocombe and Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous, we will argue over who has the softest, finest ice-Matsumoto or Waiola and who has the most inter­esting flavors-Shimazu, the clear winner with red velvet, creme brulee and durian.

Matsumoto, Waiola, and Shimazu are the classics, the Hawai'i guidebook musts, the ones every local knows about. But lately, I've turned to the Asian takes on the frozen water theme-Tai­wanese, Korean, Filipino, Japanel,e-which offer more than just syrup and ice.

Taiwanese With Taiwanese shave ice, it's not about the syrup flavors. At City Cafe, a brown sugar syrup provides a subtle, sweet background for an array of top­pings. I usually go for at least five-red beans, tapioca pearls, pudding, condensed milk and one of the jellies-coffee, ai yu or grass jelly, the latter two made from different plants that have a slightly herbal me­dicinal taste, but in a surpris­ingly pleasing way. There are also stewed, sweetened pea­nuts, taro and mung beans, which the Chinese say helps cool the body (added insur­ance against the shave ice). The pudding is an absolute must-a creamy flan set in caramel.

(City Cafe also sells my favorite tapioca pearl milk tea on the island. The pearls are cooked to the perfect chewiness and taste faintly of rock candy; mushy pearls are a transgression equiva­lent to overcooked pasta.)

City Cafe, 1518-F Makaloa St., 398-7598

Korean Ireh offers pat bing su, a Ko­rean-style shave ice dessert, sweetened with condensed milk and topped with azuki beans, mochi and fresh fruit like kiwi and strawberries. There's a layer of kinako­roasted soybean powder-in the middle of the ice, which provides a slightly salty nutti­ness. Ireh also has coffee shave ice, soft shavings drenched in coffee ~yrup and cream; more refreshing than a Frappucino.

Ireh, 911 Ke 'eaumoku St., 943-6000

Filipino There are halo halos (liter­ally, "mix mix" in Tagalog) scattered around the island, composed of unfamiliar textures and unnatural col­ors that sometimes veer too sweet, or just too weird. But the one at Max's of Manila stops just shy of this line. It's a crazy, color-saturated sun­dae bowl filled with gelatin cubes in pink and yellow, shave ice soaked in evaporated milk, custard, bright purple yam ice cream, sweetened red beans and a sprinkling of cornflakes for crunch.

801 Dillingham Blvd. and 94-300 Farrington Hwy., maxschicken .com, 951-6297

Japanese Both Ailana Shave Ice and Your Kitchen offer fine, fluffy shave ice with a Japanese fla­vor profile. At Ailana, it's the Uji Kintoki, ice flavored with green tea and topped with azukibeans,mochiandice cream. At Your Kitchen, the Fujiyama bowl's main feature is also green tea flavored shave ice, but here it's accompanied by green tea ice cream and azuki ice cream, reinforced with a scoop of azuki beans. Other than these two bowls, there's nothing particularly Japanese about the shave ice at these two places, except that they have Japanese own­ers. If green tea isn't your thing, both offer excellent homemade syrups, thick and vibrant with fruit flavors.

i~II WILL

HAOLOG by Rob Brezsny

(March 21-April 19) I dreamed you were in a cake store. Every de­licious kind of cake you could imagine was there: carrot cake, strawberry cheesecake, gooey butter cake, rich chocolate cake with four layers of cherries and whipped cream, birthday cakes that must have been baked in paradise. Sadly, there was a problem: You weren't allowed to buy anything, even though you had enou9.h money. A big sign on the wall said, simply, "Absolutely no cakes available for Aries." What do you think my dream means? More importantly, what are you going to do aboutthe situation? I suggest that in my next dream, you get a friend to buy a cake for you. Either that, or go to a dif­ferent cake store. One way or another, the as­trological omens say it's high time for you get the cake you want.

(April 20-May 20) Fill in the blanks, Taurus. Don't let the blanks remain vacant and barren any longer. Don't allow them to keep screaming at you with their accusatory silence. Just fill in the freak­ing blanks with whatever you've got to fill them with-with your best guesses, with borrowed mojo, with any miscellaneous ma­terial you have at hand. I realize you may be tempted to wait around for a supposedly more ideal moment. But I'm here to tell you that this is as ideal as it gets. So please ex­press the hell out of yourself in the empty spaces, my dear; create yourself anew in the void-however improvisational or inexact it might feel.

GlffilHI (May 21-June 20) "Do you know how to resolve an unresolvable paradox?" asked a Facebook friend named Pi. He answered his own question: "You figure out the 'error' in the initial premise or as­sumption." And that's my prescription for you this week, Gemini. Do not be tempted to bang your head against the wall so as to shake loose a non-existent answer to the wrong question. Instead, stop yourself in the middle of your angst and think: "What would be a more productive way to formulate the riddle I need to untangle?"

(June 21-July 22) An innovative job-seeker named Travis Bro­yles put an ad on Craigslist in Atlanta. Among the tasks he said he would perform for money were the following: draw your face on a bal­loon; email you a list of 250 things he likes about you; build you a cardboard car and make vroom-vroom sounds while you drive it; change his political leanings; rename your Pokemon; or provide you with star treatment for a month, hiding in the bushes like a pa­parazzi and taking candid photos of you. I recommend that you come up with your own version of a list like this, Cancerian. It will help stimulate your imagination about the gifts you have to offer the world, which is ex­actly what the astrological omens are suggesting.

uo (July 23-Aug. 22) As I ponder your immediate future, I'm re­minded of a scene from the animated TV show The Simpsons. Here's the situation: While visiting the home of a colleague, the superintendent of schools is surprised to wit­ness an anomalous outbreak of spectacular light. "Aurora Borealis?" he exclaims. "At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?" "Yes," replies the colleague. I sus­pect that you will soon enjoy a metaphorica 1-ly comparable visitation, Leo.

vrnGo (Aug.23-Sept.22) My astrological colleague Antero Alli praises the value of anxiety. He says that when you feel that unsettling emotion, it's because you're experiencing more uncertainty than you like to-and that can be a good thing. It could mean you're about to experlence the fertility that comes from wading into the un-

known. An outbreak of novelty may be immi­nent, giving you the chance to welcome in­teresting surprises into your life. In fact, says Alli, the anxiety that comes from unpredict­able mysteries may herald the arrival of an influx of creativity.

(Sept. 23-0ct. 22) "The I Ching counsels that if we are associat­ing with others who are not our true peers," says astrologer Caroline Casey, "our real allies cannot find us." Please apply this test to yourself, Libra. If, after taking inventory, you find that your circle is largely composed of cohorts and comrades who match your levels of vitality and intelligence, that will be excel­lent news; it will signal an opportunity to be­gin working on an upgraded version of your social life that will increase your access to synergy and symbiosis even further. But if your survey reveals that you're hanging out too much with people whose energy doesn't match yours, it will be time for a metamorphosis.

~CO~PIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) There's a lot of graffiti scrawled in a variety of languages on St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. A fairly recent arrival is a plea, in English, to resuscitate a defunct American TV sitcom. "God, Bring back Arrested Development," the guerrilla prayer reads. According to my read­ing of the astrological omens, Scorpio, now would be a good time for you to be equally cheeky in promoting one of your pet causes .• Consider the possibility of taking your case to a higher authority. To fight for what's right, you may have to make your mark in a place whose sphere of influence is bigger than yours.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Do you stare for hours every day into little screens like those on smart phones, computer monitors and TVs? If so, I recommend that you tear your gaze away from them more than usual in the coming week. A change in your brain chemistry needs to happen, and one good way to accomplish it will be to feast your eyes on vast panoramas and expansive natural scenes. Doing so will invigorate your thinking about the design and contours of your own destiny, and that would be in sweet alignment with the astrological omens. So catch regular views of the big picture, Sagit­tarius. Treat clouds and birds and stars as if they were restorative messages from the wide-open future. Gaze lovingly at the big sky.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A Facebook friend posted a quote by seminal psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud: "Being en­tirely honest with oneself is a worthwhile ex­ercise." In response, another Facebooker named Dean Robinson disagreed: "Oh, I say let yourself have a little denial, and touch base with reality on a need-to-know basis." Another respondent named Paulie Cerra took that sentiment one step further: "Reality and I have an understanding. I don't mess with it and it doesn't mess with me." Which of those three approaches are you inclined to pursue, Capricorn? In light of the current astrological omens, I suggest you try the first one for at least the next two weeks.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You really need to tell your stories. It 's not just a good idea; it's downright urgent. There's a backlog of unexpressed narratives clogging up your depths. It's like you have become too big of a secret to the world. The unvented pressure is building up, threaten­ing to implode. So please find a graceful way to share the narratives that are smoldering inside you-with the emphasis on the word "graceful." I don't want your tales to suddenly erupt like a volcano all over everything at the wrong time and place. You need a receptive audience and the proper setting.

(Feb. 19-March 20) Piscean actor Javier Bardem said this to Pa­rade magazine: "I don't know if I'l l get to heaven. I'm a bad boy. Heaven must be nice, but is it too boring? Maybe you can get an apartment there and then go to hell for the weekends." I caution all you other Pisceans against pursuing this line of thought in the coming weeks. You may imagine that you can getaway with sneaking away to hell for just a couple of days a week, but I don't share that optimism. My advice is to rack your brains to drum up as much adventure as possible in safety zones and sanctuaries where you know for sure you'll stay healthy and sane.

Ship It Real Good

S hipToHawaii is "members only" but without the jacket. Basi­cally, this company offers cheaper mainland shipping rates fo~ those of us who can actually afford to send anything to the main­

land. Items that come to mind are things like car parts, furniture and electronics, or even collections of Japanese glass fishing balls.

Local businesses like Sylus Honolulu and Makana Mother and Baby use the company to send less weighty retail items too, making ShipToHawaii seem like more than just an­other version of USPS designed for the frugal haole.

ShipToHawaii uses two California addresses, each specializ­ing in either sea or air shipping. And according to their website, users can save up to 70 percent on airfreight shipping costs.

Whether you're shipping your car to Califor-nia or mailing your grandmother's armour to Michi­gan, ShiptoHawaii is worth checking out.
