Letters Bainaan fan speaks out Pritchett's cartoon of May 19 was off the mark. I usually enjoy his cartoons in the Weekly. However I found the one on Duke Bainum to be far from the truth. I can tell you, after working with Duke that he is an honest and hard-working individual who was always a consensus-builder and one who sought ways to help his constituents. He stands out as someone who cannot be bought by special interests and campaign contributors. That should be a standard for those seeking political office. Duke Bainum meets that standard.

administered/operated by 'Olelo (O'ahu), Akaku (Maui), Ho'ike (Kauai) and Na Leo O Hawaii (Big Island). However, instead of advocating for the Public Access users, CATV is working, in private meetings, behind closed doors, in active concert with the Public Access Television providers, to the direct detriment of those very user_s.

CATV recently colluded with 'Olelo, permitting 'Olelo to take actions it previously said would not be permitted; CATV has changed the content of its PEG Access Plan without notifying the public; it has consistently turned a deaf ear and blind eye to the abundant evidence provided to it, refusing to respond to the numerous complaints ( over 40 bylaw violations) filed with it against 'Olelo. Among those complaints are charges of mismanagement and failure on the part of the board of directors to carry out their fiduciary responsibilities (not ''baseless" charges, but specific, item-byitem, documented violations and proof). All of this is happening in an administration that claims to be in favor of transparency ( openness) in government.

This begs the question, "Who is really pulling the strings of this consumer-ad vocate-tumed-corporate sponsor/protector?" Could the fact that the wife of the head of CA TV (the operator/cable consumer advocate) works for Oceanic's parent company (Timer Warner) have anything to do with it?

CA TV claims it prefers to take a "hands-off' position with regard to PEG Access corporations because it doesn't want to "micromanage"

Lingle wasting time Governor Linda Lingle is in Israel to "raise Hawai 'i awareness" in that market. She will visit a terrorist state, and meet with the prime minister, a close friend of the current regime in Washington and a terrorist who is supported by Republican George W. Bush. Is there some reason why she is not visiting the terrorist Palestinians on the same trip? Are they so aware of Hawai 'i that we don't need the promotion there?

Israel might be a very lucrative market. I have no idea how many Israelis come to Hawai 'i. But it seems to me that the governor's time could be better spent visiting non-terrorist nations. We could all name a few major markets with more potential than those terrorist nations.

We know that Israel contributes

tration. But this official visit appears to be either a huge mistake or a trip made under false pretenses.

Her first trip to the Middle East was to Iraq to promote Bush's war, show support for Bush, and to meet with Ahmad Chalabi, the convicted felon that President Bush has picked as his representative and to whom Bush pays $350,000 a month. Chalabi faces 23 year~ ih prison for embezzling hundreds or millions of dollars in nearby Jordan, and is now under investigation for allegedly giving to Iran classified information about U.S. troop movements in the Middle East. Lingle refused to answer questions regarding that visit to Iraq, and you will recall that one member of her staff even lied about her absence.

The billions of dollars that we give to Sharon every year may pale in comparison to the billions we are spending to rebuild the Iraq we have destroyed. But really, do we expect an influx of visitors to Hawai 'i from either Israel or Iraq as a result of these visits? Do we think Sharon and Chalabi will bring back to Hawai 'i some of our billions?

Is it the job of our governor to spend her time promoting Mr. Bush and his war, or showing his support for the convicted felon Chalabi?

I was a supporter of Linda Lingle through two campaigns for governor, and I could provide her with a long list of things that need to be addressed and corrected right here at home-if she has the time. Come to think of it, I did just that-soon after she was elected by the people of

Hawai 'i nei-via her senior policy advisor. Those matters are not being addressed.

Prisoner abuse widespread The official surprise and hand wringing over emerging patterns of humiliation, torture and sexual abuse by American guards of Iraqi prisopers seems rather naive.

Use of mercenary interrogators and CIA "breaking" techniques should have been enough warning to Congress, although closer, inexcusable examples of rotting principles have usually been ignored.

Reports of American prisoners suffering illegal torment in American custody have circulated for decades. Revelation of an abusive prison guard subculture in O'ahu a few years ago was thankfully dealt with courageously by our state.

National Public Radio carried serious investigative reports several years ago about prisoner rape in American prisons, based on survivor interviews. Routine rapes of inmates by prison gangs are alleged-1 y overlooked, or even arranged as punishment by guards.

Efforts at prison, police and judicial reform are traditionally dismissed by hard-right taunts of "bleeding heart liberals" and "soft on crime." Whether the lack of outraged publicity on these and other authoritarian abuses result from threats by Republican majority

Trojan hero

Daniel Grantham Haiku

Robb Bonnell's devastating review of Troy (May 19) almost convinced me not to see the film. In his piece on "this hulking nothing of a movie," Mr. Bonnell downed his local audience ("answering cell phones, snappinggurn"), the script (unfaithful to The Iliad, wrong people die in wrong ways), the look of the film ("the bland perfection of computer imagery"), and Brad Pitt's performance ("a collection of abs and smirks").

Fortunately I am a fan of director Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot) so I decided to see for myself. I found fine performances, great sets, sweeping battle scenes, well done combats, and a wonderful feeling for the Trojan War and the events leading up to it. It was an exciting, involving epic that kept me engrossed the full 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Paltd fees risi --why llgnot char:it? Bicycles are sounding better by the day-now in Honolulu Hale is Bill 41, which will hike parking rates 50 to 100 percent, depending on the area.

Council Vice-Chair Ann Kobayashi, who proposed the rate increases, said, ''We're trying not to make it that burdensome." The bill passed first read on May 12, with councilman Mike Gabbard casting the lone dissenting vote.

Sowntown Honolulu stalls, like those at the Bishop and S. Beretania Street municipal lot, will continue to have the highest fees. Drivers can anticipate rates to increase from $1 an hour to $1.50 an hour.

Rich Richardson, assistant director of the Arts at Mark's Garage, expressed concern about effects of such legislation on local businesses. "What an unfair place to try and raise money-people who live and work down here have notoriously low incomes. They are targeting the wrong area and demographics," he said.

Kobayashi said that monthly fees in downtown buildings will go up by 50 percent for merchants in those buildings. Rates for low-income tenants would remain the same. Also remaining the same will be the fees at Honolulu Zoo and Kapi'olani Park.

Kobayashi defends the rate hikes by citing the fact that fees have not risen for "over ten years." When asked what the extra money would be used for, she stated it would help general city operation and put more police officers on the street to enforce traffic laws. ''We' re trying to encourage people to take the bus, use bicycles, to walk," Kobayashi said. "You go to other cities and [parking costs] much more."

But you may not have to hoard quarters: Another bill pending, Bill 31, will initiate a pilot program to replace the Waikiki coin meters with multistall meters that accept, among other things, credit cards. Introduced by Council Chair Donovan Dela Cruz, the bill also passed first reading on May 12 and will be heard by the Transportation Committee on June 24. The pilot program follows in the footsteps of cities such as Toronto and Detroit, which already use multistall meters.

Kimberly Ribellia, senior advisor to Dela Cruz, explained that motorists will be able to pay a common meter ( one meter per 18 stalls) with credit cards or cash and receive a receipt to be placed in their car.

According to Steve Holmes, city energy director, the pilot program won't cost the city anything up front. The equipment would be loaned to the city on a self-financing municipal lease. If the Waikiki meters are a success, they could move to other areas on O'ahu.

It would take at least three months for either bill to become an ordinance. If they do, make sure your MasterCard is paid up. -Loren Moreno

Queenly reporter back to wort( Catherine E. Toth-reporter, 49th Cherry Blossom Festival Queen, and Medill I-school grad-is back to work at the Honolulu Advertiser after being fired in late September 2003 for allegedly lying about being sick. Sources inside the Advertiser newsroom said she was accused of teaching a class at the University of Hawai 'i when she was supposed to be out sick with a surfing injury.

Wayne Cahill, administrative officer of the Hawaii Newspaper Guild, said the arbitrator in Toth's labor dispute case against the Advertiser ruled that she did not abuse her sick leave privileges and did not lie about it. "We're pleased that she is returning to work," said

. Cahill. Toth-who was once described in an article by co

worker Wanda Adams as "a Tiggerish sort of person who, when she sees a need, tends to bounce right in and fill it"-has written for the Advertiser's features and sports sections, and is now covering Central O'ahu according to the tag under her latest byline.

During her leave from the Advertiser, Toth's byline was spotted in various local publications from the StarBulletin to Honolulu magazine, as well as Californiabased SG: Surf, Snow, Skate Girl Magazine. Toth did not return the Weekly's phone calls for comment by press time. -Li Wang

dance, but a recently instated rule promotes the opposite. Two weeks ago, Sebastian Blanco (a Weekly contrib

utor), went to see a movie. "I was not allowed to enter because of what was on my back-a bag," said Blanco. "I asked to speak to a manager about this, and he told me the policy went into effect at the beginning of the year, but has been more strictly enforced in the past few weeks. He said it affects about 40 percent of the cinema's potential audience." The Weekly then received a letter from Nao Ikenaga relating a similar experience.

What irks backpack-sporting movie goers most is the fact that Restaurant Row offers no alternative to forgoing a film. "There's no bag check, no lockers, and they won' t search the bags to determine you're not carrying contraband," said Blanco. 'The manager told me they're simply requesting people stop bringing bags into the theater." Blanco feels the policy is sexist (women's purses are allowed), pro-consumer (even though the signs say shopping bags are not allowed, the manager told him they do make exceptions), and discriminates against people who do not own a car (like Blanco).

Ikenaga was told that there are lockers at Ala Moana Center, which is more than a half-mile away.

Blanco asked for the name and number of the general manager. ''When I called, though, I found myself talking to a friendly woman at her home who had no idea who I was calling for."

"We're trying for the safety and comfort of all patrons," said General Manager Tom Watanabe. "People coming with large bags put them in the aisle, in seats, sometimes they bring alcohol." The exceptions are ladies' purses and diaper bags. When asked if lockers might be part of the theater's future, Watanabe said: "We're looking at that possibility because we've had a lot of inquiries about our policy. Right now the easiest way is to not discriminate and just say no bags." If you plan to attend GiRLFeSt's upcoming independent films, remember to leave your baggage at home.

$4.6 minion flushed? Two weeks ago, a section of the Natatorium' s maukaside pool deck collapsed. As a result, the bathrooms, part of the $4.6-million facade restoration completed in 2002, are closed. Facing the entrance to the comfort stations are two blue portable toilet cabins. .

Posted on the comfort station gates are notices saying the crumbling area is: " ... connected to the sea walls and comfort stations. Structural engineers are being hired to fully evaluate the stability of the Natatorium, especially the comfort station areas. Public safety requires that we exercise all due caution, therefore, we have closed access to the comfort stations while awaiting this structural evaluation."

In the two years the stations have been open, triathletes-in-training, swimmers, runners and families have come to rely on the well-maintained stations as a hub-changing, showering, cleaning up kids. Early Sunday morning you might share the space with elderly homeless women completing their morning toilet.

But it may be Port-a-Potty city for a while. "We're arranging for construction engineers to take a look at the structure now," said Clifford Lau of the Department of Design and Construction. 'There's obvious collapse at the facility, but in the big picture, before I say anything I have to wait for our engineers to make an assessment." -L.G.

Why is it so hard to design an identity for the university?

Elusive logo PHIL HAYWORTH

The selection of the new University of Hawai 'i IO-campus logo has reached mythical status. Like

the cleaning of the Augean stables, where Hercules was given one day to clean 30 years of filth, UH hopes that by this summer, one company can design one logo that is all things to all campuses.

In its 97 years, the university has never had a logo. Instead, it has always used the familiar green "Malamalama" seal (5). The iconic rainbow (1) and "crazy H" (3) are officially sports logos only. In 1970, the art department held a logo contest. The winning design, by a student, was even approved by the Board of Regents, but it was never used.

"It's complicated," said Jim Manke, UH director of public affairs. "Part of the problem-identified each time we go round and round on the logo business-is that there are anywhere from 100 to 150 logos in use on the various campuses."

The remedy, says the UH admin. istration, is to use of color in a single design to identify main campuses: Manoa green, Hilo red, West O'ahu periwinkle.

The winning designs from last year's competition-which were scrapped almost as soon as they hit the press-employed that unappetizing color scheme to form a nebulous swirling H "spectrum" (4) or "wave" (5) logo.

The Maryland-based firm Robert Rytter & Associates had tried (and some fear are still trying) to bring together under one symbol all the races, tongues and creeds represented in the system.

Instead, the final designs looked like the symbol for a marine biotechnology company. It meant nothing to anyone except, perhaps, the designers themselves.

Part of the stink over the first logo had to do with money. Starr Seigle Communications got $500,000 to design marketing materials and advertising to attract students and promote the university. Another $54,000 went to the Kailua-based Brand Strategy Group, which used surveys and focus-groups to identify what makes the university unique and how best to market it. That data will be used to design the next logo.

But folks cried foul when Rytter -with no island ties-got $74,000 to design a lousy logo. Indeed, the firm won the contract over designers such as Honolulu's Clarence Lee

and New York-based (but Punahou educated) Ann Harakawa. Rytter's submissions were posted on April 23, 2003. A week later, they were dismissed by the public and the UH administration.

Meanwhile, the man in charge of the project, thenUH Vice President of External Affairs Paul Costello, found himself defending a non-sequitur: "We didn't just come up with a logo and say, 'Here's two logos that we think are disgusting, let's put them out to the public and let's have them hate them,"' Costello told a local news daily last May. By December, Costello was on a plane to Palo Alto as Stanford University's School of Medicine's PR chief.

Time is a factor now as it was then.

It took a top-heavy 29-mem-ber review committee nine months to OK the last logo. The process is more streamlined today: A 15-person evaluation committee has five

ture and the Arts' gallery director Lisa Yoshihara and Maui Community College student Georgia Pinsky.

UH caps, jackets and 1_'-shirts at the Kapahulu boutique.

So why not revive the rainbow? "[It] is too emblematic of the

Manoa campus and its athletics department,"said Carolyn Tanaka, UH spokesperson. It's also the emblem for Gay Pride. That connection might have been one of the reasons the rainbow was pulled from the football team's identity-and very successfully, too.

Board of Regent Kitty Lagareta said she hopes the nominating comrni ttee won't close the door on any idea, even if it means finding a way to combine the best elements of multiple designs.

"Look, what we ultimately want is a great logo," she said. "I don't want us to close the door on anything." •

THE RESULT OF FERMENTED RICE, SAKE MAKES THE HEART SING (ESPECIALLY AT KARAOKE BARS). A LOOK ATTHE COMPLEX LIQUID

THAT HAD ITS AMERICAN DEBUT RIGHT HERE IN HAWAl'I

8 y J O.H N WY TH E W H IT E

t's early April, a fine time to be in Japan. The skies are blue, the days are warm and the cherry trees are in full blossom. Everyone is outside, sitting under the trees, celebrating the arrival of spring. The tender sprouting bamboo

shoots are at their tasty best. And the kura (sake breweries) are finishing their winter brewing season, filling tanks and bottles with fresh product.

Eight of us, rail passes in hand, cross the country via train, bus and taxicab on what we officially are calling a "sake research trip," but is really more like a week-long party.

We fly into Tokyo just in time for an evening of sake drinking, dining and socializing at a friend's home. After the party we hit the town for more food and sake. Early the next morning we catch a train to Kanazawa and a bus to the Noto Peninsula. It's the beginning of a journey that will take us to seven kura, one shoyu factory and Japan's National Research Institute of Brewing in Hiroshima.

Everywhere we go, we are welcomed by brewery owners and their families and the toji (brewmasters), and given tours of their breweries followed by generous tastings of their finest sakes. Later we rejoin our hosts for three-hour dinners at local restaurants and more sake drinking. The food is delicious, the sakes are magnificent, and the company is excellent. It doesn't seem to matter to anyone that I'm the only person present who knows less than a dozen words ofJapanese.

Every day, having slept for a good four or five hours, we get up early for a quick breakfast and a cab/bus/train to our next destination.

The vice president of a Kyoto brewery tells us, "Historically, the production of rice and sake brewing were considered as one. Growing rice-and therefore making sake-is the core ofJapanese culture."

Later that night in Kyoto I experience two more core concepts of Japanese culture: hanami ( cherry blossom viewing) and karaoke. We walk from our restaurant in the Gion district to the Yasaka Jinja Shrine, home of what must be the World's Largest Cherry Tree, lit up for the hundreds of people who have come to check it out in the chilly night air while eating squid-on-a-stick from a concession stand. Wandering the streets of Pontocho, we wind up in a karaoke bar.

I hate karaoke, but a companion tells me that it's impolite to refuse. So I look through 6 Honolulu Weekly • May 26-June I, 2004 • www.honoluluweekly.com

'

the book for a song I can stomach and, to my surprise, find Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." After that, I can't wait for my next turn at the mike singing "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." This is what sake is all about.

A brewery owner in Fukui tells us, "We have received many awards, but that's not our purpose. Our purpose is to make great sake for the public." He adds, "It is not just rice and good fermentation that make great sake, it is heart and passion."

Another says, "Sake is a living creature. Making sake is a joy. But you need to get up at 4:30 in the morning and it takes a lot of work."

At our many dinner parties I learn the etiquette of sake drinking. Rule One: Never fill your own glass. Rule Two: Continually offer to fill the glasses of others. Rule Three (the best): When someone offers to fill your glass but it is already half-full or even full, it is the height of decorum and good manners never to refuse, but always to say "Hai"

enthusiastically, proceed to quickly quaff the contents of your cup, and hold it out for a refill.

SAKE IS MORE COMPLICATED to make than wine because two things need to happen: The starches in rice must be converted into sugar, and the sugar converted into alcohol. Winemaking begins with the sugar already in the grapes.

With beer (also made from grain) the steps are separate and sequential. With sake they're simultaneous, joined in "multiple parallel fermentation." Mold spores (kojz) convert starch into sugar, and yeast (kobo) converts sugar into alcohol.

Modern breweries use high-tech machinery to purify water, adjust temperatures and monitor everything from rice-polishing to fermentation. Even in the oldest, most traditional breweries it's not unusual to see a shiny stainless-steel apparatus next to a century-old cauldron for steaming rice. And many of the finest sakes are still brewed predominantly in the old-fashioned way, with brewmasters supervising every step, relying on instinct and experience rather than scientific instruments.

It all starts with the grains: Rice is polished, washed, steeped and steamed. Some of it goes into the koji mix; most goes into the yeast starter mash (moto). In a heat-retaining room, steamed rice is spread on tables, sprinkled with dried koji spores, kneaded and then doled into shallow wooden trays, covered with cloth and placed onto shelves where it stays, stirred at regular intervals, for about two days. Temperature rises. Mold grows. The finished koji rice is dry and flaky and has a nutty smell.

Next the sake maker prepares the moto, or seed mash. Moto is made to create an invincible culture of sake-brewing yeasts that can overcome anything they encounter in the moromi (final mash) tank. Even though the moto tanks are small, their powerful yeast cultures take over enormous vats ofmoromi holding more than 10,000 liters of so.on-to-be sake.

Steamed rice, koji rice, water and yeast are mixed in ceramic-coated steel tubs. For the first few days the temperature is gradually increased to encourage the yeast to multiply; it rises and bubbles as it creates

-... I

alcohol and carbon dioxide. The temperature is then lowered over several days to around 50 degrees. After two weeks, the starter mash is ready.

To prepare the moromi, for four days rice, koji rice and water are added to the moto, held in open vats. However, nothing is added the second day, a hiatus called odori (literally, taking a breather before climbing a staircase).

After the final addition, fermentation takes another three weeks, a critical time when temperatures must be monitored and adjusted. Before computers arrived to regulate temperature, brewers relied on their own judgment of sensory clues such as the size of the carbon dioxide bubbles growing on the surface of the mash, and its changing smell and taste.

Old-style temperature control was as simple as opening and closing windows. Traditional brewers today still work exclusively in the winter

months, but modern refrigeration techniques allow larger breweries to make sake year-round.

Next comes filtering. Although this step is now automated, in many old-style breweries the fermented mash is still loaded into canvas sacks and stacked in a rectangular "sake boat" (sakafune). When weight is applied with a hand-cranked press, the sake filters through the sacks and drips out from a spigot into a collector.

The resulting sake is pasteurized and stored in stainless-steel tanks where it is aged for up to one year. Higher-grade sakes may be stored in 10- or 1.8-liter bottles. Before bottling, water is added to dilute the sake from 20 percent alcohol content to around 15 percent.

t!d:!!:!~-peoplechewed rice and spit it into a communal pot. After a while it fermented into a punchy mush, and they drank it. It was called kuchikami no sake, or "chewing-in-themouth" sake. A variation was bijinshu, or ''beautiful woman" sake, so named because the rice was chewed and spat exclusively by young virgins.

Over the centuries, sake making evolved into a fine art. Master brewers developed sophisticated techniques to produce delicate, delicious sakes that became famous far from their towns of origin.

Today, although beer and other spirits have eroded the dominance of sake in Japan, it is still highly popular in everyday life and a required tradition in ceremonies from weddings to coronations.

Sake came to Hawai'i with the first Japanese immigrants. The Feb. 9, 1885, Honolulu Advertiser mentions a dockside sumo tournament organized by King Kaliikaua for arriving contract laborers~ with barrels of sake as prizes.

About a hundred years later, a group of Honolulu residents with ties to Japan banded together to form the International Sake Association (Kokusai Sake Kai), a club dedicated to promoting the ap-

SEARCHING FORSAKE IN HONOLULU New Yorker magazine, in a mini-review of new Manhattan hot spot Matsuri restaurant, noted: "A long sake list is seen to by a lanky sake sommelier, Saori lino, who is able to distill any diner's limited sake knowledge into a satisfying choice:·

Sake sommelier? Obviously, Honolulu has some catching up to do-even though sake was introduced to Americans in Hawai'i, and we had the first sake brewery outside of Japan (Honolulu Sake Brewery, founded in 1907).

Here's where to get high-quality sakes. •

Restaurants A good sake spot isn't just about the booze. These places have the requisite mix of food and vibe, whether high end (Kacho) or low (Gyotaku).

Kacho Waikiki Pare Hotel, lli3 Helumoa Rd; 921-7272. The luxe setting and great selection make Kacho the city's pinnacle sake experience. Kin Chan Sushi Restaurant Row, 500 Ala Moana Blvd; 534-0088. This closet-size sushi bar comes in second with a wide array of good sakes at reasonable prices. Bamboo 2700 S King St near University; 951-4040, Gyotaku 1824 S King St and 98-1226 Kaahumanu St in Waimalu lmanas 2626 S King St next to Puck's Alley; 941-2626. See review on page 25. Halekulani 2199 Kalia Rd at Lewers St; 923-2311. Catering to its clientele, the hotel stocks good sakes in all its restaurants Kyo-Ya 2057 Kalakaua Ave; 947-3911 Miyako Restaurant 2863 Kalakaua Ave; 923-4739 Musashi Hyatt Regency, 2424 Kalakaua Ave, Waikiki

Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar, Restaurant Row, 500 Ala Moana Blvd; 536-6286 SushiSasabune 1419 King St; 947-3800 Tokkuri-Tei 611 Kapahulu Ave next to Papa John's; 739-2800 Tokyo Tokyo Kahala Mandarin Oriental Hotel, 5000 Kahala Ave; 739-1500

Retailers When it comes to shelf life, sake is closer to milk than it is to wine. It should be refrigerated, but few liquor and department stores do it. Daiei, Marukai and Shirokiya carry lots of sakes, but they are not refrigerated.

You can help change the local mind-set. At your favorite liquor store, ask where they keep their refrigerated sakes. If their sakes are on the shelf, ask how long they've been there and how much is sold. A high turnover means

you might be able to get a relatively fresh sake before it's been left out of the cold too long. Also, look for a bottling date on the label. If it's more than a year old, forget it. Here are the two top sake retailers (they both refrigerate): Fujioka's Wine & Spirits Market City, 2919 Kapi'olani Blvd; 739-9463 The Wine Stop 1809 S King St; 946-3707

preciation of sake and sake culture outside of Japan.

In the early years, they pursued this mission primarily by bringing lots of Japanese sake to Hawai'i and throwing big parties. It was at one such gathering, in the depths ofKaka'ako beneath a famous banyan tree (long since felled by developers), that I first experienced the pleasure of drinking sak; chilled rather than warmed.

I owe my still-evolving knowledge and appreciation of sake to Chris Pearce, a local magazine publisher born in San Francisco and raised in Japan. A Kokusai Sake Kai cofounder, his passion for the beverage has propelled him on additional quests: to get more premium Japanese sake into the United States, to educate Americans to a higher level of sake appreciation, and.to make sake as popular and easy to obtain as wine.

In 2001, Pearce and his fellow International Sake Association members established the U.S. National Sake Appraisal to recognize imported sakes of outstanding quality. Each

year a team of 10 experts from Japan and the U.S. gather in Honolulu to judge the sakes. Last year, almost 150 entries were submitted.

Pearce, who speaks Japanese fluently, was also instrumental in creating the annual "Joy of Sake" event, which began in Honolulu in 2001 and has qow expanded to Sari Francisco and New York City. It's basically another big party ("the largest sake-tasting held outside of Japan," Pearce says), offering the public a wide variety of sakes accompanied by traditional and contemporary Pan-Asian appetizers. (This year's Honolulu Joy of Sake takes place on Aug. 27; visit www.joyofsake.com for more information.)

World Sake Imports is Pearce's side business. Its eight employees cater to America's growing market of sake connoisseurs via restaurants and retailers in Honolulu, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City and Miami. The company offers clients a support program that includes staff training and printed promotional materials.

I\ A

Finally, every summer Pearce offers a one-day,three-hour course at the University of Hawai'i-Manoa called Introduction to Sake Appreciation. As he is eager to explain, it's not

just about drinking, it's about cultural interac-tion, communication and understanding.

Sake is a unique creation, made with two basic in-

water, interacting with natural mold

organisms transmute the nutrients contained in grains of rice into a higher form of energy which nourishes the huqi.an heart and imagination," Pearce writes on the Joy of Sake website. After years of drinking sake at Kokusai Sake Kai parties, and my participation in the club's "sake research trip," it's

finally dawning on me what he means. Sake is more than a drink. It's an attitude, a commitment to conviviality, a pledge to enjoy life to the fullest in the company of old friends and new acquaintances. •

SO MANY SAKES, SO LITTLE TIME Sakes are categorized according to the amount of polishing or milling the rice receives. Polishing the outer portion of rice grains removes impurities that interfere with the fermentation process and adversely affect the flavor of the finished product. Generally speaking. the more polished the rice, the better the sake.

Of the five categories of sake, only three are common in the U.S.: junmai, ginjo and daiginjo. The other two, honjozo and futsushu, represent less than two percent of imported sakes. Junmai sake with rice polished to 70 percent or less of its original kernel size. Junmais have a natural rice taste, and many have a tangy, organic flavor. They're more affordal>le than ginjos and daiginjos. Junmais are also pure rice sakes, with no brewer's alcohol added. Many sake drinkers prefer junmais,. Ginjo premium sake made with riee polished to at least 60 percent, and sometimes SO percent, of the original size. Ginjos tend to have fruit and floral flavor nuances, and are light and refreshing with little or no aftertaste. "Junmai ginjos" have no added alcohol. Daiginjo "great ginjo"-ultra-premium sake made using the finest sakebrewing rice varieties milled to 40 or 30 percent of their original size. Many of the brewing techniques are performed by hand, so daiginjos cannot be massproduced and are brewed only in limited quantities. '1unmai daiginjos" have no added alcohol.

Photos : Courtesy

Honjozo sake with up to 30 percent of the alcohol added. Many people believe that small amounts of brewer's alcohol added at the end of the brewing process can improve a sake's flavor and balance. The rice is polished to at least 70 percent. Honjozos are light and affordable. Futsushu "ordinary" or "standard" sake; more alcohol is added than to the honjozo types of sake.

Within the categories, several types or varieties are available. Some differences involve the filtration process. others the length of time a sake is aged. Most sakes are brewed to be consumed within a year of production, but some are aged longer, and others are ultra-fresh and made to be drunk as soon as possible. Nigori "cloudy" or "impure" sake, unfiltered or loosely filtered, leaving some rice particles suspended in the liquid, giving it a white, cloudy appearance. Nigori sakes have a distinctive taste and texture, and are becoming more popular and available in the U.S. Genshu undiluted sake with no water added. Generally water is added to finished sake to reduce its alcohol content from 20 percent to about 16 percent. • Namazake sake bottled straight out of the filter from the moromi (final yeast mash). The yeast is still active, it has a tart and zesty flavor, and because it is unpasteurized it must be consumed immediately after opening. Koshu "old sake" -aged for three years or more before release. Taru-zake "cask sake"-aged in wooden casks, generally made of Japanese cypress.

hotoshop is such an omnipresent icon of digital technology it's become a verb, as

A former student of Ansel Adams and Minor White, De Wolfe has been a photographer for 40 years, is currently senior editor of ViewCamera and Camera Arts and is a consultant to Epson, Adobe and Polaroid. In addition to the Photoshop class, he's offering his popular Digital Fine Print Workshop.

"The goal of this workshop is simple: to show you how to make outstanding black-and-white and color prints using a computer and desktop ink-jet printer," DeWolfe states on his Web site www.georgedewolfe.com (check out his evocative textures and contrasts in works such as "Watercolors 2" and "Spirit Rock"). But you need to be familiar with Photoshop CS.

You're a Luddite?

F or the past few months, the POPular! parties at Club Pauahi have been-to put it

"Of course people are more than welcome to come dressed up," said promoter Dave Ebinger. "Dismembered stubs-that's cool."

Waters ports est trick, the Superman, alongside two-time defending champion Gavin Sutherland, son of 1970s star Jock.

Since the invitational isn't a rared event, "the pressure is off-it's a friendly competitive atmosphere where we can showcase our skills," says Shibata. "The bottom line is it's for the kids and spectators-we're entertainers along with being athletes."

•••••••••••••••••••••••••• Tricks are for kids

earl Ciry's Jason Shibata, 23, is off to the Maldives next week for his next World Qualifying Series competition. But before he flies to Male,

you can catch him and other rising surf stars in the T&C!Surfer Magazine Air Invitational at Queen's Surf this weekend. .

The kids he refers to are the 14-and-unders entered in the eighth annual T&C Grom Contest. The water ba- . bies will compete in bodyboarding, shortboarding and longboarding at the break where generations of Hawai'i's surfers have ridden ·their first wave.

The possibilities for this one are endless: yellow tracksuits, Yakuza wear-complete with Jet Li's Black Mask, wedding gowns, wife !;>eaters with cowboy hats, eye patches, long flowing Pai Mei beards, and the outfit everyone's rooting for-Go Go Yubari's school girl uniform. Spiked ball and chain optional.

Wardrobe notwithstanding, the

feel and sound will be a little different. Like the sequence before the showdown in the House of Blue Leaves (Lucy Liu's scalping), POPular is featuring live music for the first time. Under the spotlight will be My Ex Is Dead, made up of ex-members of Pomo Homo, Sorry and Kite Festival. Their musicology will be a fusion ofBlack Sabbath and Johann Sebastian Bach. (Yes, that Bach.)

Battling at the turntables will be Eskae, Subliminal, Brinky Crow and the legendary Drift, spinning his last Honolulu set before he leaves for New York City. An end-of-an-era moment.

Ebinger puts it all into perspective: "It's gonna be a great way to kick off one crazy summer."

Coming to Pauahi later this month will be a resurrection of sorts. Like the Bride, the legendary C*ntroversy isn't dead, it was just in a bullet-inthe-head-induced coma, and will rise again as Rest In Peace.

Next bigvoiced thing 'I was put on this earth to sing,"

says Laura Maclean from her New York home. "I have

things to communicate, and I haven't met anyone else who can sing them."

Her big voice brought her an opera scholarship, but the siren-song of rock called her from her native Boston to Manhattan.

Her songs, which she pens herself, have an introspective quality reminiscent of Suzanne Vega or Shawn Colvin, to whom she is often compared. ("Who's the one who needs it most, is who will run forever, I've been around enough to know when to let it go," she sings on "Let It Go.") The comparison falls short, though. We haven't heard a pop voice with this kind of ridIBess since Allison Moyet. Put into a local context, Maclean could be compared to Arny Gilliom, who also has a classical background.

Maclean does share something with Vega and Colvin: Steve Addabbo. The roan behind those· two singers' hits produced MacLean's current EP, which is getting airplay on KUMU.

Maclean, on the way back from the annual BMI songwriters c°onference on Kaua'i, will stop in Honolulu before she heads back east.

Maclean has what it takes to climb the charts, and we can say we saw her at Anna's when she was on the rise. -Stephen Fox

Concerts •••••••••••••••••• Symphony's senlf-off

•

las, with the passing of spring the symphony players once again scurry off to

wherever they go for the summer. But all is not lost. They close the season with a grand finale of, well, grand proportions. The bill includes Mendelssohn's "Concerto for Two Pianos," played by Misha Dichter and his wife, Cipa, and Prokofiev's "Symphony No. 5."

Mendelssohn was all of 14 when he composed the concerto, which he debuted with his sister Fanny. Listening to a work of this magnitude-youthful in exuberance, but quite mature in musicality-is a humbling experience. Like Mozart, Mendelssohn was already kicking ass at an age when most of us are still taxed by walking and chewing bubble gum simultaneously.

The Dichters are premier players with arm-length credits and, evidently, the chemistry that led them to wed provides a musical synchronicity that boggles the mind.

Prokofiev wrote "Symphony No. 5" during WWII, while the composer spent time at a Soviet "rest home." This is where valued artists could work sheltered from the dangers of war. He described the work as "a symphony about the freedom and happiness of mankind, a hymn to its mighty powers, its pure and noble spirit. I cannot say that I chose this theme. It was born in me and clamored for expression. The music grew within me and filled my spirit."

Jazz journey at Connect Four

JEROME JAMES GRIPPED HTS DRUMSTICKS and bounced around the room with a nervous, smiling energy. The funk-inflected jazz outfit, the Jerome James Trio, was back from New York and dropped in for a set at Connect Four, Velvet Lounge's Thursday hip-hop weekly.

In 1993 Guru showed that combining jazz and hip-hop can elevate both forms when he invited Roy Ayers and Donald Byrd to collaborate on the first of his Jazzmatazz records. Last Thursday in Kaka'ako, the Trio proved a natural fit to play alongside local MCs, led by the Direct Descendants crew.

We got there early to take advantage of the dollar drink special that •••••••••••• , • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ran until 11. Tipsyness was easily

Connect Four Thursdays at Velvet Lounge 327 Keawe St., (www.quadmag.com) $6 cover, 18 and over

The look: Slick new kicks, baggy jeans for lllen. Tube tops and low-slung jeans on wolllen Who's there: hip-hop heads 18-26 Resident MCs include: Kelvin Zero, Seph One, Ion Myke, Maria, Jonah the Whale, Risup The sound: lllodern jazz, underground hip-hop, freestyle flow Bar's best: $3 Heinekens and Sex on the Beach, $1 drinks before 11PM

provoked. On the large screen, a turntablist video, starring Mix.master Mike and Q-Bert, played without sound, while DJ Wrong One kept heads nodding with heavy beats. Writers tagged up a small board posted on the wall.

The venue, across the street from CompUSA off Ala Moana, . hasn't changed much from its past incarnations as the Blue Room and Grumpy's. A pocket-sized hero with thick tattooed arms bodyrocked and busted contorted backbending freezes, while black Tshirted Waikiki B-Boys surrounded the breakdancing circle.

T-shirts pronouncing allegiances-Giant Robot, Von Dutch, Ming & FS, Ballers Inc.

were the dominant fashion theme, with newsboy and baseball caps pulled tight for those looking to be covert. A noticeable pack of Betty Page-banged hipster girls disobeyed the hip-hop uniform and buzzed around the bar.

"Connect Four was born when we saw a need for a weekly spot to represent not only the underground music that we love, but also to create a showcase for the vast talent in Hawai'i," said Mike Toomey, whose MC name is Ion Myke.

The return of the Jerome James Trio fit the weekly party's ethos. That night, the fusionheads had brought a sweet synthesis of mind-altering bebop rhythms. Born into a jazz household via his dad, percussionist James is grounded in tradition.

For one night at least, hip-hop and jazz melded together. Off into the rainy night the Jerome James Trio floated notes high above the shoreline of Honolulu. -Li Wang

The 15th annual Honolulu Gay & Lesbian Film Fest has a brand.,new name but the same proven mix of alternative fare

Under the rainbow

BOB GREEN

N ow called the Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival (www.hglcf.org), the streamlined

annual gay and lesbian film fest (one venue/four days) opens with the world premiere of the new Margaret Cho concert film Thursday, May 27th. (See review on page 23)

The fest then continues its tradition of a gala reception, guest filmmakers, some locally produced fare, a free documentary showing, the time-tested "Girlz Shorts/Boyz Shorts" collection of varying-length short film/digital product and winners in other gay and lesbian fests throughout the country.

Presented by the Honolulu Gay & Lesbian Cultural Foundation, the fest this year seems titled toward comedy-including Cho's hourand-a-half premiere; the Sundance fave A Touch of Pink; the romantic comedy Mango Kiss; festwinner/box-office hit Eating Out; and the tongue-in-cheek satire Gay Hollywood. Local filmmaker Brent Anbe's One Night in Bangkok, a digital short and the prize-winning Cucumber Chronicles (satiric shorts) round out the comedy.

Saturday, May 29 sees the free matinee showing of Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin, a prize-winning doc on the 1960s civil-rights activist and chief organizer of the 1963 March on Washington. The film was an audience-award recipient as "the best feature length film" at the 2003 San Francisco Gay & Lesbian Film fest. At 6PM on the 29th, the gala reception, featuring guest filmmakers, will be held at the Henry R. Luce Pavilion, at the fest site, the Honolulu Academy of Arts.

Especially recommended by the Weekly are the following features and shorts:

Revolution Lorene Machado' s Cho concert movie (Thu, 5/27, 7:30PM)

Mango Kiss Two women try their hands at an open relationship in this romantic comedy, which culminates in a foursome playing spin the bottle. From first-time director Sascha Rice. (Fri 5/28, 6PM)

Gay Hollywood The true story of five good-looking gay men trying to make it in Hollywood. (Fri 5/28, 8PM)

GiRLFeST debuts with a week of everything from Winona LaDuke to a PJ seminar

Activism, art, attitude

JAMIE WINPENNY

A swirl of paper, packages, VHS tapes and film canisters tlII the impossibly cluttered GiRLFeST head

quarters on Bethel Street. The multimedia festival's command post is half-painted in a fire-engine red that has scarcely dried, filling the office with the smell of latex paint. A computer monitor suffers an outbreak of yellow post-it notes encircling a screen that hasn't been turned off since GiRLFeST moved in almost three months ago.

Festival "non-executive" director Kathryn Xian sits calmly at the center of it all. Wearing a telephone headset, she directs traffic for dozens of events, ranging from workshops to poetry slams, from film screenings to a swanky dinner affair at an opulent Kabala home. How can she get anything done in this mess? "Volunteers. Dozens," Xian says without hesitation.

With 10 venues hosting a multitude of GiRLFeST events, innumerable staffing, scheduling and other loose ends can easily turn the festival into a logistical Gordian knot. The ambitious undertaking is motivated by social concern. Case in point-the Honolulu Police Department statistics indicate a 40 percent jump in the annual number of reported rapes on O 'ahu between 1995 and 2002. The artistic andeducational extension of the Safe '.Zone Foundation hopes to end violence against women through educational initiatives.

After several fundraising events like The Vagina Monologues and Medusa's Ball, GiRLFeST is poised to make a fresh statement about the connection between art, community

and social transforn1ation. While the laborers of love make it viable, the caliber of artists, community leaders and social activists gives GiRLFeST its legitimacy.

Jackson Katz is one of America's leading anti-sexism activists. His "More Than A Few Good Men" workshop is one of several programs offered, and he offers a thoughtful assessment of GiRLFeST: "I think art can inspire, illuminate, motivate, touch people's hearts and minds," says Katz. "But it can't by itself stop men's violence against women. In order for us to stem the tide of our culture's pandemic of men's violence, we have to make prevention a societal priority. Art is certainly part of that, and efforts like GiRLFeST are important cultural interventions."

Among the keynote speakers scheduled is Winona LaDuke, the environmental and indigenous rights activist who was Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader's running mate in the 1996 and 2000 elections. Also scheduled is Esther Vicente, writer of the Puerto Rico Domestic Violence Policy.

As a filmmaker, Xian is especially

proud of the film program at GiRLFeST. The documentary Spin the Bottle makes its Hawai 'i debut, offering a sober examination of the glamorization of excessive drinking and high-risk behavior in mainstream media. Jackson Katz will hold a Q&A after the screening of Tough Guise, a look at how pop-cultural images shape masculine identities.

Showcases by Women Make Movies, the Mad Cat Film Festival and Power Up round out a film program that seeks to entertain, inform and challenge the audience. A question-and-answer session with local filmmaker Edgy Lee follows the screening of her documentary Ice. The "Undershorts" program offers some brilliant diversions for those with limited attention spans.

Much of the performance and visual art featured throughout GiRLFeST provides an individual's perspective on relevant social issues. One of nine spoken word artists performing is alternative media darling A1ix Olson. Her fearless writing is delivered with wit and charisma, and her appearances in concert halls nationwide sell out routinely. Other nationally acclaimed poets flying in for GiRLFeST include JEN/ed, Mark Bamuthi Joseph and Desdemona. Hawai 'i's spoken word community will be ably represented by, among others, Harry Ramos, Kasi Nunes and four-time First Thursday Poetry Slam winner Selah Geissler.

GiRLFeST volunteer and performer Geissler says, ''The point of spreading awareness is to invoke a feeling of responsibility in people. If people are moved to do something, then using our art to stop violence becomes less of a romantic, idealistic idea and more of a possibility."

The outreach programs offered will have the most potential for a

'I,

tangible impact on the community, with practical instruction that can lead to opportunities for real personal and social . change. ~otable among these is a film camp that instructs keiki in all aspects of documentary filmmaking, including aesthetics, shooting digital video, nonlinear editing and distribution. Zine publication and DJ workshops will give participants tools to express themselves.

While the focus of GiRLFeST is to spread awareness and ultimately stop violence against women, it's also a celebration. Lectures and workshops are tempered with parties that reinforce the sense of community that GiRLFeST hopes to expand. Nationally recognized folk artist Doria Roberts blends jazz, folk and pop and is a committed social activist. Denise Barbarita is another • female singer/songwriter whose work has garnered praise and expo-

sure nationwide. This week will end with a closing

party, which boasts a hula halau performance, a volleyball game and surfboard giveaway, a free concert and the closing night film Bend it Like Beckham at the City of Honolulu's Sunset on the Beach.

Perhaps GiRLFeST' s most significant impact on Honolulu cannot be measured. Empiricism cannot accurately reflect the changes in the story arc of an individual's life. Xian explains, ''We want to provide a supportive environment for female artists in every milieu. We want to give them a feeling of empowerment, inclusion and belonging, to challenge the belief that individual suc,ess comes only through competition." •

Tenuous and fragile The visual arts component of GiRL FeST. BY MARCIA MORSE

A few works in GiRL FeST GaLLeRY would certainly hold their own elsewhere: Erin Williamson's Living Room (a delicate

wallpaper-like fragment screenprinted with blood) and Tracy Gunn's untitled gourds overlaid with mosaic are cases in point. Frog, Dragonfly, Princess, Kandi Everett's surprisingly delicate drawing, and Naomi 727, Rachael Kaiser's exuberantly post-cubist charcoal drawing, also possess a sense of self-assured power.

The works, most by emerging artists, are uneven in quality; but the visibility provided by the exhibition at Marks Garage encourages us to think about the work itself. From an initial sense of diversity-in themes, in media, in levels of technical engagement--emerges a recurrent formal strategy: How can women give shape to a gendered identity?

For several artists, the visual metaphor is one of layers and fragments: These might be read as strata of social identity, or as masks or other means of controlling what gets revealed or concealed, or as a kind of structural analogue to the ways in which women's lives are constructed. The paradigm of layered/segmented is evident in the photographs of Elea Dumas, Faith Fay and Jackie Hilton, San Shoppell's Desire and other mixed media constructions and Moana Car-

oline Meyer's sculptural installation that incorporates fragments of text.

The exhibition is anchored in two aesthetic projects that touch on the poignant theme of life unrealized. For the women who participated in Through My Eyes, a two-month long workshop led by artist

Meleanna Meyer, the perspective is one of life potentially transformed through the power of heightened awareness and a more acute sense of eye/I.

The other body of work speaks achingly of life never to be realized. The work of Samantha Maeshiro is in a class by itself. Her Alterations is a suite of mixed-media self-portraits that combine specially processed silver prints-fragments of the artist's body with overlays of dressmaker's patterns-and passages of stitching that read as linkages, sutures, cutlines, bondage. Maeshiro's work is echoed and pondered in Kathy Xian's Constructions, an evocative video meditation on the work of

Maeshiro, whose young life ended in suicide. It is a dark note on which to rest, but it serves as an

essential reminder of the still tenuous and often fragile nature of women's lives.

Two Hawai'i gi,rls show Manhattan that the islands are about more than surf and sea

Honolulu on the Hudson LESA GRIFFITH

I n the wake of the Tribeca Film Festival brouhaha was a humbler-but for Hawai 'i, more important - event. Last weekend, Robert Caz

imero, Lilikala Kame'eleihiwa, Bishop Museum archivist DeSoto Brown and Smithsonian Asian Pacific program director Franklin Odo were a few of the Hawai 'i luminaries on hand for the second annual Pacifika: New York Hawaiian Film Festival.

Launched by local girls Janu Cassidy and Michelle Akina, the festival brings some aloha to America's other island, Manhattan. In 1997, the New York-based duo founded the Hawai 'i Cultural Foundation, which offers classes like hula auana and organizes an annual July 4 lii 'au in Central Park. "Every culture and religion is represented in New York ... it was hard to feel connected to anything that made sense to me," says Cassidy, who moved back to Hawai 'i in 2001 after years in New York. Her former Soho store, Radio Hula, was a gathering place for homesick islanders, and the founda-

Hawai'i's local film industry can be called budding at best, so what was the lineup like? When Cassidy and Akina frrst came up with the festival idea, they thought, "Can we really find anything that has quality visually, in acting .. .it was nerve wracking," admits Cassidy. But because the emphasis is on culture, and people attend for insight, not Oscar-potential performances, "we have a very forgiving audience." People come not to judge or review, but to "learn and leave with something in their hearts," says Cassidy. "If the films can give that, then we know we've achieved something.

Films that are familiar to Honolulu residents, thanks to PBS Hawaii and the Hawai 'i International Film Festival, dotted Pacifika's schedule: Kava Kultcha, The Ride and Red Hibiscus. But Cassidy is most excited about long-shelved projects like a little gem she found called A 'ala: A Visual Poem About the Living and Dying of a Community, made in 1964 by Francis Haar, Ken Bushnell and Steve Bartlett. "It has no words, just sound and music-it's a beautiful visual poem." A 'ala Park, meet the Bowery. •

Boston Globe columnist Ellen Goodman recently wrote, "After all, those of us who remember when birth control was illegal

and when 10,000 American women a year died from illegal abortions don't have to imagine a world without choices. We were there." I write a blog about life after abortion, and one of my co-bloggers says that the claim oj-10,000 deaths is well known to be an urban legend. However, Ellen Goodman is a famous journalist, and she clearly believes that it is the truth. Is it?

-Emily of After Abortion, via e-mail

N o. Establishing exactly how many women died due to botched illegal abortions is obviously impossible, since many

of these deaths likely weren't reported as such. However, even a generous reading of the statistics we do have indicates that Goodman is off by a factor of ten; a stickler might say she blew it by a ratio of 250 to 1. It's not like this is a news flash, either. A reasonable approximation of the annual total in the 60s has been public knowledge for 35 years.

To be fair, the number Goodman uses is consistent with estimates that were widely cited prior to the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973. But some say those numbers were knowingly inflated by proponents of abortion rights . The star witness for this claim is Bernard Nathanson, a former abortion clinic doctor who in 1969 co-fqunded the group now called NARAL Pro-Choice America (the letters originally stood for National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws). Since Roe, though, he's turned against his former comrll;des-he made the highly controversial 1984 antiabortion film The Silent Scream and has authored several books describing his conversion on this issue and critiquing the abortion-rights movement. In Aborting America (1979) Nathanson writes:

"In NARAL we generally emphasized the drama of the individual case, not the mass statistics, but when we spoke of the latter it was always '5,000 to 10,000 deaths a year.' I confess that I knew the figures were totally false, and I suppose the others did too if they stopped to think of it. But in the 'morality' of our revolution, it was a useful figure, widely accepted, so why go out of our way to correct it with honest statistics?" (Emphasis is his.)

Better late than never. For 1972, the last full year before Roe, the federal Centers for Disease Control reported that 39 women died due to illegal abortion. (The death total for all abortions, including legal ones , was 88.) That figure is low, thanks to underreporting, but in any case the number of deaths had been dropping sharply for the previous few years. A statistic perhaps more typical of the pre-Roe era was reported in a 1969 Scientific American article co-written by Christopher Tietze, a senior fellow with the Population Council: "The National Center for Health Statistics listed 235 deaths from abortion in 1965. Total mortality from illegal abortions was undoubtedly larger than that figure , but in all likelihood it was under 1,000 ."

Had the number been higher in still earlier years? Yes. Tietze com- · ments in his article that "some 30 years ago [i.e., around 1940) , it was judged that such deaths might number 5,000 to 10,000 per year." He gives no source, but if we tum to W. Cates et al (''Trends in national abortion mortality, United States, 1940-1974," Advances in Planned Parenthood, 1976), we find that 1,682 abortion-related deaths were officially reported in 1940. If we guess that this figure represents roughly a quarter of actual mortality due to illegal abortion, we get 6,800 deathssomewhere below the middle of the range given by Tietze, whereas Ellen Goodman's number is at the very top. But that was in 1940, remember. I didn't Google Ms. Goodman to determine when she was born; I'll just

say that if she's pushing 80, as her statement "those of us who remember ... when 10,000 American women a year died from illegal abortions" would imply, she's remarkably well preserved.

None of this argues for or against abortion, but the claim that legalization has prevented the deaths of thousands upon thousands of women doesn't hold up. Roe v. Wade saved some lives, but the numbers were small-reported deaths due to illegal abortion declined from 39 in 1972 to 5 in 1974. The biggest factor in reducing abortion mortality was undoubtedly the overall improvement in prenatal and obstetrical care after World War II. The rate of pregnancy-related deaths from causes other than abortion dropped at roughly the same pace as the abortion death rate from 1940 through 1974 (though <\Q9,ftion-related deaths did decline faster after 1965, which Cates attribure"S largely to advances in contraception and the state-by-state relaxation or repeal of abortion laws). Self-induced and back-alley abortions were becoming a thing of the past long before Roe: sex researcher Alfred Kinsey estimated in the 1950s that around 85 percent of illegal abortions were performed by physicians, even if the physicians weren't all in good standing. The fact is that prior to legalization abortion had become relatively safe and easy to obtain-for those who could afford it. Studies done at the time show that the risks were borne disproportionately by those who couldn't, mostly minorities. Were abortion to be recriminalized, that would likely be the case again.

Wild oats BOB GREEN 'you can't keep your

eyes off a woman --even if she's dead," says Ella (Tilda Swinton,

who else?) to young, narcissistic stud Joe (a perfect Ewan McGregor), her husband's new assistant. Joe gives the beleaguered bargeowner's wife a subtle but seductive look. He knows she's hurting, lonely and vulnerable, and that her aging husband treats her like a domestic appliance. rw e get a glimpse of his lovemaking, and feel for his wife: this is sex at its most perfunctory.)

The woman to whom Ella alludes is a body Joe fished out of the canal (between Glasgow and Edinburgh) earlier that day. (It is a little later that we see that the dead woman was yet another of Joe's sexual conquests, ending in murder? suicide? or odd accident?) And Ella's seemingly knowing appraisal of Joe doesn't

a beat; this isn't a star tum-it's a dedicated actor's convincing performance.

A word to the wise: This is a film of"literary" integrity, aware of how the world really works, and its tiniest details yield story-and-character elements without resorting to mere sensationalism .

large, making out with Anna Nicole Smith, "Don't ask/Don't tell," her father's judgmental nature, a Tennessee professor who tells his classes that homosexuals make love only by fisting, plastic surgery and watching her friend birthing a baby (and attendant projectiles). All prime stuff, and plenny graphic, yeah?

Then Cho, at the top of her game, soars with a long, extended riff on a persimmons-only diet and its consequences: an embarrassing catharsis while she's driving in traffic. (The last i~ touchy stuff, but Cho, at her scattish best, manages sustained hilarity. As for getting back at ignorant homophobes (pardon the redundancy), Cho demonstrates how she doesn't want to rise above their commentary, doesn't mind stooping to their level in order to Slug It Out. The "revolution" that gives its name to Cho's hour-and-a-half has to do with a rise in Gay Consciousness, and it yields up, as it should, a standing ovation from her sold-out L.A. Korea-town audience.

It's a terrific way, avoiding too much mousy-brown dehydrated "good taste," to or,en the 15th edition of the Honolulu Gay and Lesbian (now Rainbow) fest. •

. warming catastrophe flick. Earthquakes, tornadoes and more. Raising Helen Kate Hudson plays a woman suddenly in charge of taking care of a little girl. How cute. Soul Plane It's the black Airplane! with Snoop Doggy Dog, Tom Arnold, Method Man, D.L Hughley. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

~ Continuing Breakin' All the Rules With a combo of a predictable plot (which some audiences prefer), its . stealth stars Uamie Foxx and Gabrielle Union), and some spritely music, Breakin' All the Rules will be a surprise box-office hit. It doesn't intrude on real life, which is the worst and best thing about it. (Reviewed 5/19) -Bob Green 'i Dolphins O'ahu's Paul Atkins shot this IMAX doc on our favorite sea creatures; lush visuals prevail. IMAX Polynesian 'i Kill Bill: Vol. 2 The excllent conclusion to the Kill Bill series gives Vol. 1 more depth. Part two is about the emotional side of obsessive revenge as seen through the eyes of the Bride (Uma Thurman), who has survived an assassination attempt. The Bride's training scene with Pai Mei (Gordon Liu) is a knowing homage and mockery.Tarantino is on top of his game, getting the best out of his actors and uses time-tested cinematic technique. (Reviewed 4/21)-Li Wang The Uving Sea An IMAX around the worlder. IMAX Polynesian 'i Man on Fire It takes a great film actor to hold together the shimmering pieces of a fragmented movie. In Man on Fire, a revenge potboiler, Denzel Washington manages to invest this exercise in trivia with emotional resonance -even in undernourished, visually frantic

scenes. Washington can drum up emotion in a few seconds, so the quick-cut editing and visual distraction can't defeat him. (Reviewed 4/28) -B.G. Mean Girls Despite its potential to be more, Mean Girls remains a teen comedy for teen audiences, providing more instruction than insight. Penned by Saturday Night Live's Tina Fey, this tame take on girl-on-girl cruelty rings true enough to deliver a few laughs, but then heads south into moralistic territory and a tidy ending. (Reviewed 5/5)·-Aarin Gross New York Minute The billionairesses Kate and Ashley Olsen in a "grown-up role" movie, co,starring the great Eugene Levy (The Mighty Wind) for guaranteed laughs. 'i The Passion of the Cmst It's no use pretending that The Passion of the Christ is not an amazing film, apparently trying to "restore," in Mel Gibson's view, the terrible visceral suffering in the last 12 hours of Christ's life. It seems more a film about the supernatural but not the mystic, about the body but not the soul. However, like all good films, this Passion forces the audience to re-examine itself and its own beliefs about how far a film should go, and whether Christianity has found a new champion or a dangerous if well-intended zealot. (Reviewed 3/3)-B.G. Shrek 2 More CGI shenanigans with the (inevitable) sequel to the big hit of a couple of years ago. The ubiquitous Antonio Banderas lends his voice to a new character, and the regulars are ba-a-c-c-k, including Eddie Murphy's scene-stealing donkey character. Stateside Rachael Leigh Cooke plays a musician who falls in love with a marine. Trouble ensues when she develops a mental illness. 'i 13 Going on 30 Jennifer Garner's charm carries a half-cooked idea. The adult-child bodyswap scenario has been done, but these actors make something familiar and goofy feel fresh.

Imanas--Tei' s sushi. and izakaya bites take Japanese pub food to a beautiful level

Flavor of the shape LESA GRIFFITH

B ack in Japan, ImanasTei owner Keisuke Asai was known as "the Opener"-he'd launch restaurants for

his father-in-law's Nagoya chain and move on. But when the restaurateur relocated to Hawai 'i nine years ago (partly for the surf), he wanted to open a place for keeps. Judging by the crowd on a Tuesday night, he's succeeded.

While nihon-jin flock here, lots of people still don't know about this 7-year-old warmly minimalist room tucked next to Puck's Alley. Reservations are taken for 5 to 7PM only, and after that it's first-come firstserved (hence the benches out front). Asai designed the space himself. "I didn' t have a lot of money,

so I make natural," he says. On a sand-colored wall hangs two wind.burnished branches that he found on the Kuli 'ou'ou trail. The bambooslatted ceiling adds more texture. A spray of bamboo tips shoot from a stoneware vase on a Y-shaped communal table where people nibble on sushi and fish choice morsels from shabushabu or nabe pots.

A lively rhubarb emanates from the youngish, professional clientele in the dining room that adjoins the sushi bar at the entrance. Behind the bar is Manabu Kikuchi, a Tokyo native who started training to be a sushi chef when he was 15. You could say he's a master now-if you can't afford Sushi Sasabune, Imanas is the closest you'll get to that quality in this moderate price range (and you choose!). Kikuchi fashions classic edomaezushi-single-bite rectangles

of lightly packed firm rice, topped by dainty precision-cut pieces of fish. While the selection isn't huge, standouts such as kohada, aji and creamy o-toro as pink as Bazooka bubblegum will satisfy aficionados.

All the while, Asai shuttles from sushi bar (he's also trained as a sushi chef) to kitchen to dining room, a tan, affable presence.

Imanas is also billed as an izakaya, so the menu is filled with little dishes divided into categories such as "a la carte," "deep fried" and "grilled." Order a parade of beautifully composed plates-a green pyramid of tangled lettuce (too bad it's iceberg) and seaweed is dotted by shrimp and faux scallops then surrounded by a squiggle of spiced miso; shabushabu

salad is a carefully arranged bowl of cooked meats, seaweed and tomato on a ti leaf resting on crushed ice. Fried foods range from tofu to softshell crab, and the grill yields beef garlic steak to ... tofu. While the prices are reasonable, it's easy to rack up a substantial bill because you a) want to try everything and b) you get more generous on your way to feeling no pain.

The food supplies artful, tasty bites between sips of sake and shochu (the Japanese vodka). It's a mix that makes people linger. Imanas' sake list is short but sweet-it changes whenever Asai makes a new discovery. The selections are largely in the $8 to $12 range, including a refreshingjunmai Otokoyama from Hokkai-

do, with one exception: the Daiginjo Koshi no kanbai "Chotokusen" at $80 a pop (500 ml). -

One visit here and you'll want to make like the regulars: Buy a bottle of shochu for $28. The stipulation is that you finish it within two months. We don't foresee any problems. •

lmanas-Tei 2626 S King St. (Diamond Head of University Ave) (941-2626).

Hours: Mon-Sat 5-11 :30PM Recommended dishes: shabushabu salad, sushi (any and all), garlic butter clams, beef garlic steak, chanko nabe A la carte: $2.50-$12.50 Payment Amex, MC, V

New & Noteworthy

Bangkok Chef Nu'uanu Open Market, 1627 Nu'uanu Ave (585-8839) Mon-Sat 10AM-8PM. Plate lunch: $4.25. A la carte: $4.95-$6.95. MC, V. Yes, it's in a garage, but this no-frills five-table Liliha eatery is all restaurant (and market). You can order an array of snapping-fresh dishes made by a real Bangkok chef-Sansane Chang is from the Thai capital, where her family owns a restaurant.

The Bistro Century Center, 1750 Kaliikaua Ave, third floor (943-6500). Mon 11AM-2PM; Tue-Fri 11AM-2PM, 6-lOPM; Sat, Sun 6-lOPM. Late supper menu at the bar 10PM-l:30AM. Appetizers: $10-$20. Entries: $24-$52. AmEx, Disc, MC, V. Knowingly retro, purposely classic, the Bistro is an unabashedly dress-up, leave-the-kids-at-home kind of place. And the food merits all the hoo-ha. Sweet scallops sit in a luscious citrus beurre blanc, rack of lamb comes with its pomegranate-spiked jus. The late-night menu is a swank deal-take a seat at the bar and have some steak tartare (best in town); it'll set you back only $12.

BluWater Grill Hawai'i Kai Shopping Center, 377 Keahole St (395-6224). Mon-Thu llAM-llPM; Fri, Sat llAM-midnight; Sun lOAM-llPM. Appetizers: $5.95-$12.95. Entries: $8.95-$29.95. AmEx, MC, V. At this island-style bistro, chef William Bruhl's contemporary American menu runs from warm seafood dip (yup, the same as at his old employer, Ryan's) to a New York strip steak. Aiming for that elusive sweet spot between (casually) chic haven and family-friendly eatery, BluWater hits the suburban bull's eye. High points: moist wok-fried moi and the al fresco waterside tables. Reservations suggested: There's a crowd even on a Tuesday night.

ChezSovan Restaurant Row, 500 Ala Moana Blvd (599-8770). Mon-Sat 10:30AM-8:30PM. Appetizers: $1.99-$5.99. Entries: $2.99-$5.99. Am.Ex, MC, V.

Chez Sovan, the Hawai 'i branch of a popular Silicon Valley spot, serves classic Cambodian dishes in a self-serve setting. Amok is a must: chunks of spiced white fish and collard greens steamed in banana leaves. Homemade flavor and cheerful service make this Restaurant Row's best budget option.

Chocolate Sushi Enchanted Lake Shopping Center, 1020 Keolu Dr (263-7878). Tue-Sun 10AM-8:30PM. Spicy tuna roll: No, you don't get cocoa-coated maki (thank heavens). Owner and pastry chef Oki Yucker is simply taking advantage of the space's previous clientele (it was a sushi shop) by adding sushi to her sweet repertoire. She handcrafts confections from her own blend of European chocolates. Also on the menu: specialty cakes, coffee, shave ice, truffles and crepes (on Sunday mornings only).

Happy Day Restaurant 3553 Wai'alae Ave at 11th Ave (738-8666). Daily

26 Honolulu Weekly • May 2&-June I, 2004 • www.honoluluweekly.com

Photo Li Wang

Philly pride "Gimme a cheesesteak with fried onions and sauce." What's a cheesesteak? It's Philadelphia's signature sandwich-prime beef chopped to bits, covered with American or provolone cheese, all slid into a roll covered in grease. While everyone from Jack in the Box to Grilla's downtown has attempted to make the meaty East Coast favorite, in Honolulu the boys at Antonio's come closest to the real thing. Co-owners (and cousins) Joe Tramontano and Anthony Romano have an • edge: Their Italian-roll recipe that they have made by a local bakery. On weekends they go through almost 50 rolls. Drop the cholesterol worries, Antonio's re-creation ($6.99) is junk food heaven. And they should consider bottling their marinara sauce. 4270 Waia/ae Ave across from Kahala Mall {737-3333} Tue-Sat, 77:30AM-9PM; Sun noon-BPM

8:30AM-10:30PM. Dim sum: $2.30 per plate. AmEx, Disc,MC, V. If you miss Chinatown's Sea Fortune, its new, homey incarnation is Happy Day in Kaimuki. The place is great for big family dinners (Peking duck is tops), but it also has good dim sum. The turnip cake can't be beat. The cooks turn coarse, bland daikon into delicately crusted savory-sweet squares. Insider's tip: You have to order them from the kitchen.

India Cafe Kilohana Square, 2851-1 Kihei Pl at Kapahulu Ave (737-4600). Thu-Tuel 1AM-2PM, 5PM-9PM. Combination plates: $7.50-$13.95. AmEx, Disc, MC, V. Upgraded from Styrofoam-plate eatery to a silverware-and-thali restaurant, India Cafe is still the only place in town to get dosai, the South Indian crepe. You can also get Malaysian nasi lemak. Lamb masala and chicken curry are winners, but sometimes the food is off the mark. It's a casual cafe worth chancing.

Kiawe Grill 1311 N King St across from New Diners (841-5577). Mon-Sat 10AM-9PM, Sun 10AM-8PM. Burgers: $4.55-$6.95. Plates: $4.95-$6.95. Cash only. Come noon, Jason Chong's new Kiawe Grill (the original is in Mo 'iii 'iii) looks like the set of The Man Show-guys as beefy as the Angus steak on the menu stand in line to order heaping plate lunches. But the menu eyecatcher is ... extra lean ostrich burger. Kobe beef burgers are lusciously juiey, sopping the bun, and buffalo, pork, chicken and salmon also get the patty treatment.

Kona Brewing Company Koko Marina Center, corner of Kalaniana 'ole Hwy and Lunalilo Home Rd (394-KONA.) Sun-Thu 11AM-10Pt,t; Fri, Sat llAM-llPM. Appetizers: $3.25-$9.99. Entries: $8.49-$22.99. Am.Ex, MC, V. Five years after opening its Kailua-Kona flagship, the Kona Brewing Company launched its O'ahu branch. The menu is ripe for franchising: Kalua pig quesadillas, personal pizzas, Caesar salad: nothing surprises the palate. On the flip side, all the handcrafted ales and lagers-like Black Sand Porter and Castaway IP A-are worth sampling. Dig the openair waterfront location.

Legend Seafood Chinatown Cultural Plaza, 100 N Beretania St at River St (532-1868). Daily 10:30AM-2PM, 5:3~10PM. Dim sum: $2.85-$3. 75 per plate. Sure, the seafood is good, but Legend is Honolulu's gold standard for dim sum. Nearly every dish is textbook perfect. Look fun stuffed with scallops melt in the mouth and minifootballs of fried mochi stuffed with dried shrimp and pork are irresistibly crisp and sticky-soft. Thought you were having a little snack? Think again.

Makino Chaya 1936 S King St (955-5966). Daily 11AM-2:30PM, 5:3~11 PM. Lunch: $10.40. Dinner: $20.40. AmEx, MC, V. A chaya is a teahouse, and this one also says it's an izakaya (pub), but it's really an all-you-can-eat joint that happens to sell beer. You get a trip to the salad bar (potato salad, fake crab in mayo) then order items from the menu (simplified sukiyaki, sushi, udon, tempura) until you cry uncle. Service and food can be uneven. Still, it's popular, so plan

to wait 30 minutes-reservations are accepted for the 5:30PM seating only.

Mama's Korean Kitchen 611 Kapahulu Ave at Ho'olulu St (735-9933). Mon-Sat 10AM-8PM. Regular plate lunch: $5.30-$6.95. Cash only. Who said there's no such thing as a free lunch? Sign up for a frequent-eater card at Mama's and you get your 11th lunch free. But you hardly need the incentive to eat the delicious spicy squid 10 times.

Mary Jane's Kitchen 1694C Kaliikaua Ave at Fem St (943-2109). Mon-Sat 9am-9pm Entries: $6-$12.50. Cash only. You get unadulterated Korean home cooking at this humble fluorescent-lit box on Kalakaua's budding K-strip. Jane Shim creates MSG-free, flavorful food and her daughter Ellen is your ebullient host. A must-order is the do! sot bi him hap, an earthily savory DIY fried rice.

Mazel's Kosherland Israeli Grocery 555 N King St at Dillingham Ave #113 (848-1700; www.kosherlandhawaii.com) Sun-Thu 11AM-9PM, Fri 10AM-3PM, Sat 8PM-10PM. Owner Ifat Sharabi stocks Israeli products that go way beyond your local supermarket's kosher selection. The Kalihi spot is also part deli, and Sbarabi's hummus is a best-seller. You can also get freshbaked challah, falafel and the Yemenite dish called bourekas.

Marbella 1680 Kapi'olani Blvd between Ke 'eaumoku and Kaheka Sts (943-4353). Mon-Fri ll:30AM-2:30PM, 5:3~9:30PM; Sat, Sun 5:3~9:30PM. Appetizers: $7.50--$9.50. Entries: $16-$25.50. AmEx, MC, V. Marbella takes taste buds on a Mediterranean holiday. The food shines brightest when eastern Mediterranean flavors are in play. Baked cumincrusted whole moi is spectacular, and Egyptian marinated lamb is as flavorful and beautifully presented as one could hope. The array of appetizers (falafel, onion tarts, spanakopita) make Marbella a good grazing ground too.

Okonomi Cuisine Kai 1427 Makaloa St, ewa of Ke'eaumoku St (944-1555). Tue-Sat 5-llPM; Sun noon-10PM. Small plates: $3.50-$10.50. AmEx, MC, V. Ultrastylish Kai, a spanking new restaurant in the shadow of the new Wal-Mart, is the fifth restaurant in a Tokyo chain that retools the teppan concept to high chic. The signature dish, okonomi yaki, comes in versions like the octopus-studded Kobe. Small plates like daikon simmered in nutty-sweet miso sauce and avocado salad round out meals. Desserts like choco-banana crepe are especially good.

Ono Pono UH, Sustainability Courtyard (no phone). Mon-Fri 7:30AM-2PM. Full plate: $6.50. Cash and local check only. UH's new kiosk uses organic, locally grown ingredients and the price is righteous too. The menu hinges on the farmers' bounty: black-bean marinarra pasta and miso-mushroom sauce over mashed potatoes are hearty faves. Does it taste good? Ask the fans waiting in line.

Panya Bistro Ala Moana Center, mauka side next to the Gap (946-6388). Mon-Sat 8AM-10PM; Sun 9AM-10PM. Appetizers $4.50--$9.99. En/Tees: $7.50--$26. AmEx, Disc, MC, V. The Ala Moana off-shoot of the "Euro-Japanese" bakery mini-chain is a postmodern tea room ( or coffee house) with sleek neo-Bauhaus design elements and blue-grey walls. Nibble on Japanese cheesecake or dig into full-fledged meals such as laksa (curry noodle soup) and rack of lamb. The pastel-colored martinis also make it the coolest bar in the mall.

Tavola Tavola 3106 Monsarrat Ave at Kanaina St (737-6600). Sun-Thu 5:3~9:30PM. Appetizers: $6-.'li I" n .,,.,.

$12-$17. Entries: $14-$27. AmEx, ML Changed from ristorante to more casual o~ Tavola Tavola gets the essentials right-fro, house-made pastas to Venetian handblown glass lamps. Chef-owner Masa Yamamoto may be Japanese but his food sure isn't. The Gino Angelini protege is best at the simple flavors that make Italian cuisine: grilled fish accented only with olive oil, salt and pepper and a beautifully naked ribeye steak.

1111 Bishop St., Downtown

T~OLOGV by Rob Brezsny ••••••••

(March 21-April 19) I almost always urge you to see the glass as half-full, not half-empty. But this week I'm more cautious. Why? Because you may soon be pressured to buy into overly optimistic fantasies. Even people you trust may encourage you to place inflated faith in shaky promises. So ask lots of probing questions, please. Beware of groupthink. On the other hand, however, there's no need to adopt a sour, suspicious perspective. Being cynical will not automatically make you insightful. See if you can manage to be a cheerful skeptic, as generous and open-minded as you are alert for the hype.

(April 20-May 20) A surfer from California recently collected his 15 minutes of fame when he rode his board for the 10,407th consec: utive day. During those 28 years, Dale Webster never took a vacation. To keep his mornings free, he worked exclusively at low-paying night jobs. He surfed on the day his daughter was born and the day he passed kidney stones. His eyes now have scar tissue because he has gazed into the sun for so long, and he's literally afraid to stop surfing for even 24 hours. I nominate him to be both your role model and anti-role model, Taurus. It's a perfect time to commit yourself with fierce passion to a long-term dream, but only if you promise not to let your devotion degenerate into manic obsession.

GiffilNI (May 21-June 20) I lead a group called the Prayer Warriors. We petition God on behalf of people who need help in summoning divine intervention. Here's the prayer we'll be saying for your tribe in the coming months. Dear God- We beseech You to give a big, beautiful home to all Geminis who want one. If they aren't allowed to have that for karmic reasons, please grant them a comfortable apartment with no obnoxious roommates. ff You can't manage that, bless them with a trailer that's.free of mildew. ff that's impossible, bestow on them a tent that doesn't feak and a cheap place to pitch it. If that's too much to ask, let them have their own tree house in a forest that's not too dark and scary. And if all that's out of the question, please at least help them feel at home in the world wherever they are.

Oune 21-July 22) Antibiotics have been miracle drugs for over 60 years, but their potency is fading as bacteria evolve to become resistant to them. This has led some British doctors to revive a medieval approach to healing-placing maggots in open wounds. Seriously. The creepy creatures are fast and effective in cleansing infections. I'd like this to serve as your operative metaphor in the coming weeks, Cancerian. As you strive to mend old psychic lesions, call on the wisdom of the past-even if it involves a cure that makes you a bit uneasy.

LiO Ouly 23-Aug. 22) The puzzle is not as difficult as you imagine. In fact, it has only seven pieces-far fewer than you 've assumed. Perhaps you got thrown off by its simplicity; it does have a superficial resemblance to a more complicated puzzle from your past. The ironic thing is that you'll never figure it out it as long as you're so serious and stressed about it. To create the conditions that will lead to a solution, relax, have as much fun as possible, and assume that the puzzle will soon solve itself.

VI.AGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Most American children don't want to grow up to be president any more. The practice of politics is boring and sickening, they tell pollsters. There's too much pressure and

too much arguing involved. Despite this trend, I predict that in the coming weeks, a disproportionately large percentage of Virgo youngsters will fantasize about someday becoming President of the United States. I further predict that one of these kids will ultimately be elected Commander in Chief in 2044. As for you Virgo adults, I believe that no matter what country you live in, events in the coming days will awaken your dormant reserves of ambition and authority.

(Sept. 23-0ct. 22) The time a rodeo cowboy has to stay on a bucking bronco to qualify: 8 seconds. The time a lion-tamer holds his head in a lion's mouth: 7 seconds. The time it takes for a skydiver's parachute to open: 6 seconds. The time it takes for thunder to travel a mile: 5 seconds. The time it will take, sometime in the coming week, for a divine intervention to reveal a galvanizing vision of your possible future: 10 seconds. The time it may take for you to fully understand the meaning of the vision: 4 months.

~CO.APIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The Israeli poet Yehuda Amichai wrote that ''The soul is a search; the soul is a dance of searches for whatever is lost." Let that be your guiding thought in the coming weeks, Scorpio. The astrological omens suggest that it's,high time for you to go looking for a missing treasure. The best way to ensure that you find it is to feed and praise and give free reign to the part of you that you call your soul.

~~GITT~.AIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) What kind of archer do you want to be when you grow up, Sagittarius? Would you like to be: 1. the kind of archer who aims in the general direction of several big targets in the distance; 2. the kind who aims at a single medium-sized target in the middle distance; 3. the kind who aims at many small targets that aren't too far away; 4. the kind who never aims at any target at all, but just enjoys the thrill of shooting lots of arrows everywhere? This is a perfect time for you to settle on one of these four options.

C~P.AICO.AH · (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) My friend Katherine comes from an old southern family that has recorded its history for generations. She says her great-great-great-grandmother, Elizabeth, was born in Greenville, South Carolina in 1852; Until she was 81 years old, Elizabeth suffered from asthma. Then she was cured completely, and lived free of its ravages until she died in 1955 at the age of 103, I nominate Elizabeth to be your inspirational role model for the next two weeks, Capricorn. Believe it or not, you now have the power to shed a burden or cure a malady that you've always feared was a permanent curse.

Oan. 20-Feb. 18) Welcome to the Happiness Season, Aquarius. The entire universe is now conspiring to provoke in you an abiding sense of joy and well-being. You can resist, of course; it's your God-given right to use your free will to repel this influx of contentment. But in case you decide to cooperate with the cosmic trend, here are a few helpful thoughts to propel you. "Happiness is a state of going somewhere wholeheartedly, without regret or reservation." -William H. Sheldon. "I'd rather be a failure at something I enjoy than be a success at something I hate." -George Burns. "Happiness is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose." - Helen Keller. "Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy." -Anonymous. ''To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness." -Bertrand Russell.

(Feb. 19-March 20) I predict that some of you overly sensitive Pisceans will soon be beaten down by the cold, cruel world. Maybe you'll move in with your parents or flee to the middle of nowhere and live off the grid in a log cabin. Similarly, more than a few of you Piscean artists, actors, writers, and musicians will get weary of the uphill battle to make a living from doing what you love. You'll think about selling out, seeking dull but secure gigs in the corporate world. But I'm begging all of you not to give up. Please continue your · heroic struggles to be true to yourselves. If you can manage to hold on a while longer, you will be blessed with a breakthrough no later than September 1.

Gone fee bin When woodworker James Feria moved into his Makiki apartment in 1991, this fairy tern and his mate were already settled into the tree outside the window. Over the years, Feria has learned his neighbors' most intimate habits. The couple lays two eggs a year, the last one hatched and the result is now fledging. Nestless, the female deposits the egg in the exact same spot-a knot on a limb-and clutches it between her legs. Feria thinks this fresh catch was a prelude to a kiss; it's time for another egg.

~Extreme makeover, O'ahu

In the third episode of Hawai'i's Reel Stories surf photographer Mike Prickett reveals the secrets

•

to wielding a 40-pound camera while dodging 50-foot surf; nature cinematographers Gracie and Paul Atkins • get in close with a family of dolphins; • and moviemaker Sergio Goes gives us the lowdown on getting the most out of shooting hand-held digital.

Reel Stories is the new Oceanic 16 show co-produced by Don Brown (former programmer for the Academy and the Art House at Restaurant • Row) and Stephanie Castillo (creator • of the documentary Cockfighters: The • Interviews). Brown said he hopes the • program will "show legislators that • the local film talent is really worth •

-supporting." The third show debuts on Tuesday, •

June 1 at 11PM and primetime show-ings are at 9:30PM on Thursdays. •

aunched a year ago, the tres chic Honolulu design-and-development firm Rassman Caldarone LLC already has seven milliondollar-plus properties under construction. Geoffrey Rassman,

an award-winning designer from New York, relocated to Hawai'i last June where he met investor-singer-actor Joey Caldarone while working on an apartment in the same building. "He came up to warn me about noise and a week later we became partners. He's a playwright too," Caldarone says (yQu may have seen him in local productions Chicago and Bat Boy last year). Hassman's play Neil's Garden was produced off-Broadway by Valerie Harper.

The apartment pictured was designed around the bar, which came from a 1940s cruise ship. "The style is '40s-kitsch-Hawaiiana-meetsluxury-liner," says Caldarone. "There's also a Japanese influence in the sliding walls of grooved frosted glass done in a modified shoji screen."

Next month, the firm opens a Kapahulu Avenue showroom that will feature objets d'art and a private-label line of furniture.
