American discomfort The Japanese government must apologize and pay reparations to the thousands of Koreans forced into la­bor or sexual slavery for its wartime army during World War II ("Take comfort," May 25). But the Japan­ese government shouldn ' t be held solely accountable for war crimes committed against Koreans and oth­ers. North and South Korea should demand an apology and receive reparations from the United States government for its war crimes dur­ing and after the Korean War. Dur­ing the U.S. military's invasion and occupation of the Democratic Peo­ple's Republic of Korea (DPRK), countless atrocities against the civil­ian population of the DPRK .were committed by the U.S. One such war crime occurred Oct. 18, 1950 in the Daewon Sub-county of Anak County where the U.S. military locked all the women up in a school

building and raped them for IO days. If any of. the women fought back, the Americans killed them by driving stakes into their groins, ac­cording to the Korea International War Crimes Tribunal's Report on U.S. Crimes in Korea. Also, the oc­cupying U.S. forces set up so-called U.N. Military Service Clubs, U.N. Military Comfort Stations, U.S. Mil­itary Cmpfort Stations and red-light districts where they raped and de­filed thousands of women.

Red-light districts continue to thrive around more than 100 mili­tary bases with the tacit approval of the South Korean government.

I was born in 1952, abandoned and raised in a French Catholic or­phanage in Busan, South Kyung­nam, South Korea. Could my moth­er also have been raped and/or sex­ually exploited by Yankee imperial­ist dogs?

Will the United Nations and the U.S. Supreme Court also hear griev­ances against the U.S. government and its military occupation force during the Korean War as it is doing for comfort women against the Japanese government?

High tuition means higher education I appreciate the anguish of present and prospective University of Hawai 'i at Manoa students upon hearing that the Board of Regents approved the proposed tuition in­crease schedule. It is difficult to deal with inflation, no matter where it ap­pears in one's budget.

As a member of the Manoa Fac­ulty Senate Executive Committee for the past two years, I have looked very closely at the UH Manoa budg­et. It was only through such actions as deferring important maintenance and leaving many positions vacant that Manoa has managed to avoid laying off numerous employees be­cause of very tight state budgets over the past 10 years. We know that cannot continue longer if Manoa is to remain a viable institu­tion of higher education.

The Board of Regents is to be commended for making the tough, but fiscally correct, decision to ap­prove significant tuition increases. I could give many reasons why this is so, but here is just one of the more compelling ones: Last year, the schools, colleges and institutes at Manoa were handed their shares of an $800,000 annual increase in the electric bill for the campus. Where were the funds to pay for this? Cer­tainly not in the general funds allo­cated by the Legislature. Part could be paid from research overhead funds if the unit has productive re­searchers bringing in grants and con­tracts. The only other resource is from that unit's share of tuition. Giv­en the latest increases in oil prices, that $800,000 budget shock is going to be a fond memory next year.

The fact is that inflationary pres­sures on budgets affect everyone, not just students. UH-Manoa's budget has not kept pace with its needs, let alone inflation, for many years. The only alternative to raising tuition is to shut the doors, unless the Legislature is willing to come to our rescue.

Urban sprawl What does sustainability mean? Is sustainability only for the people or is it also for the ecosystem? Are Hawai'i's native species disappear­ing as sprawl spreads out over the landscape? These are important questions that got lost in the Legisla­tive debates over affordable housing and mass transit.

The simple way to build afford­able housing is to require that any multi-unit housing developer pro­posal which requires a discretionary permit include a certain percentage of units set aside for various income classes. No ifs, ands or buts.

Instead the Legislature passed a bill that allows any developer who builds an affordable housing com­plex to evade certain existing envi­ronmental and zoning laws. No af­fordable units have to be built, but if they are, we may all suffer the con­sequences.

The traffic congestion problem is not caused by all drivers, it is caused by single-occupancy vehicles driven during rush hours. The simplest ap­proach would be a gas tax, an SUV tax, and stiff, enforced penalties for driving single-occupancy vehicles in high-occupancy vehicle lanes.

But we must first ask ourselves, is there a carrying capacity for this is­land? Because if we just build, build, build-especially new trans­portation pathways and high-end units for non-residents-we will have created an environmental, so­cial and cultural nightmare. This is­n't sustainability.

Building a rail system so develop­ers can speed up the process of building high-end residential units is not what sustainability is all about.

We must develop affordable units for our people, have a decent educa­tional system, create meaningful jobs, and protect our ecosystems.

Finally, the current rail proposal imposes a highly regressive tax aimed at poor people and small businesses. How is this building a sustainable society?

What do.we want O'ahu to look like in 2030? Sustainability requires that we ask questions before we de­cide on the solution.

honolulu diarY Dennis menaced The fate of Coffeeline may hang in the balance­again-when the Miinoa Neighborhood Board meets tonight, June 1, at Noelani Elementary School at 7PM.

The 19-year-old coffeehouse, nestled behind the Atherton YMCA on University Avenue, has been em­broiled in a struggle for survival with the University of Hawai'i at Miinoa's College of Education (COE). Last year;COE leased the entire YMCA building and has since made no secret of wanting Coffeeline out as it tries to make room for the Center for Disability Studies and the Curriculum Research and Development Group. Coffeeline owner Dennis Suyeoka has thus far managed to outmaneuver COE officials, and the university's Board of Regents last year directed department managers to incorporate Coffeeline into their plans for the area.

Now Coffeeline supporters accuse COE of using the City and County Department of Permitting and Planning to defy the regents' directive and force the cafe's clo­sure. According to internal UH e-mails made available to Honolulu Weekly, COE is in the process of applying for a Conditional Use Permit that would change the list of permissible activities at the site to exclude freestand­ing restaurants. The e-mails describe exchanges between COE officials and representatives ofDPP, in which it was explained to COE that a permit could be issued with or without the restaurant restrictions. If true, this would seem to indicate that COE could go forward with the permitting process without violating the regents' clear­ly expressed desire to find a solution that will keep Cof­feeline in place.

It's not clear which direction COE will ultimately choose, but were a zoning change to occur, COE would succeed in reducing Coffeeline to what one UH official called a "procedural casualty," thus torpedoing the re­g~nts' original instructions without technically violating them.

Suyeoka is not backing down, however, and has shown plenty of moxie in the past, having won the back­ing of both interim UH president David McClain and Manoa chancellor Peter Englert. Now Suyeoka is mo­bilizing his many supporters for one more round of bat­tle. COE's plans will be on the agenda at tonight's meet­ing.-Ragnar Carlson

Stop UARC not org While the struggle over a University Affiliated Research Center at the University of Hawai 'i.at Miinoa is tem­porarily off the front pages, the battle continues on­line-a spoof of the group's website has popped up on the web.

The layout and design of the parody pages (stopuarc.org) are similar to those of the real website, but pokes fun at protestors who recently occupied UH interim president David McLain's office in Bachman Hall for a week. The site singles out vocal activist :8art Abbot in a fake interview, which the interviewer-sup­posedly a (fictional) David Ching of the (not fictional) Las Vegas Sun newspaper-ends by calling Abbot a "shitball."

The spoof site appears to be the work of Christopher Becker, a photographer living on Kaua'i. Stopuarc.org is actually a redirect to stopuarc.polihale.com, which is registered to Becker. A Web search brought forth sever­al numbers for Becker on the Big Island, where he once lived, but most were out of service. A number connect-

ed to Becker's new website, posla.com did work, but a message left there was not returned. Another number rings at Raytheon Solipsys, where Becker worked on "software quality assurance" according to the Google cache of Becker's curriculum vitae on polihale.com. Becker's name is not listed in the employee directory of­fered.

Although polihale.com appears to have been updated May 7, and was still on the web as of May 12, the bulk of the site has been taken down since then, replaced with a brief message saying "Polihale.com is down for a . while." Deeper in Google's cache of the site is Becker's bolded claimlhat no one can use his photographs with­out his permission and that "I take copyright violations seriously." If he created the spoof website, then he did not ask for permission to use the Save UH/Stop UARC's copyrighted material.

Abbot says that responding to the spoof website is a bit of a waste of time, but that he would "like the people to know that the interview with me [ on the spoof site] is entirely false. I did not say what Mr. Becker claims I did, so please do not allow it to form your opinion of me as a person, or as a political activist. If Mr. Becker would be willing to take his website down, I would sincerely appreciate it." -Sebastian Blanco ·

(Disclosure: Sebastian Blanco is a member of the Save UH/Stop UARC organization.)

Resort to violence On Saturday, May 23, Kyle Kajihiro (pictured) of the American Friends Service Committee went to Turtle

Bay in support of Local 5 in its ongoing dispute with resort management. That day, the union staged a one-day walkout and accompanying rally to

' protest working conditions it describes as "dangerous." After the rally, Kajihiro decided to use bis video camera to shoot some footage of conditions in­side the resort-he wandered around the lobby and spoke with a housekeeper on the

fourth floor before returning to the lobby. There, Kajihi­ro says he was confronted by security personnel, who asked if his camera was on. When Kajihiro replied that it was, he says he was told that the resort's director of se­curity and safety wanted to talk to him. As he and the guards reached the curb outside the hotel lobby, Kajihi­ro says Security and Safety director Tom Dougher drove up in a car and-without identifying himself - be­gan to threaten him. Kajihiro says he was walking back to his car when Dougher grabbed the activist around the neck and a scuffle broke out.

The altercation left Kajihiro with bruised ribs and scrapes where his skin met the pavement. "I have to find unusual ways to sleep at night," he said last week. Kaji­biro also says Dougher took the videotape and told him he was "not welcome" at the resort for one year.

Kajihiro was never accused of any violation and has filed a police report against Dougher for assault. "There is a whole pattern of abuse against union activists and union staff [at the resort]," Kajihiro said. Dougher did not return calls requesting comment.

Jason Ward, a spokesman for Local 5, said that this is not the first time Dougher has gotten rough with labor union supporters. "This guy [Dougher] is a real nut­case," Ward says. "Kyle's a great guy, from a Quaker or­ganization, and he's assaulted in the lobby."

Ward claims Dougher punched him in the chest a year ago while Ward was filming. Ward filed a police report, but didn't pursue a case. Ward says Dougher was also physical with two other union members, including a 60-year-old woman and another with a camera.

Honolulu Police Department Lt. Kennard Finn, who responded to the call about the attack on Kajihiro, says he documented what occurred."What he [Kajihiro] was doing in itself was not wrong," Finn says. "Anyone can take pictures." -S. B.

U.S. Congressman Jim McDermott wants to turn Hawai 'i on to socialized medicine

On the Marx JULIET BEGLEY

U.S. Congressman Jim McDermott became a national champion for the left when he was

featured in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 explaining to America the fear factor in the terror alerts ("Fear does work, you can make people do anything when they are afraid"). He was the perfect spokesperson, a dapper doctor in the psychiatric field, pointing out the Pavlovian machinations of an administration cynically and me­thodically scaring the public into political submission-yellow, green, red ("it was like training a dog-the American people were being treated like that."). Then came the Patriot Act: "No one read it, it was printed in the middle of the night." McDermott is sprinkled through Moore's picture, a wise, ra­tional man, who is willing to speak truth to power. His final celluloid -comment regards the treatment of Iraq veterans: "They say that they are not going to leave any veteran behind-they are leaving all sorts of veterans behind."

McDermott-in addition to being one of the most outspoken politi- . cians against the Iraq war-has be­.come the unofficial spokesperson for establishing a universal health­care system in the United States, a notion considered by most to be un­American. He will be speaking on the topic this week at a forum spon­sored by the Hawai 'i chapter of Americans for Democratic Action.

McDermott has been questioning the Iraq war since before the war be­gan. A veteran himself, he treated soldiers in the Navy before running for the Washington State Legisla­ture, where he served from 1971 to 1985, in both the House and the Senate. In 1988 he was elected to Congress representing Washing­ton's 7th Congressional District.

McDermott has raised the issue of the use of depleted uranium in weaponry that exposes soldiers, civilians and the environment to low-level radiation. He introduced legislation in May that would allow the effects of depleted uranium to be studied and documented. (The ex­plosion of a DU weapon creates ra­dioactive dust that enters the body through the lungs with possible long­term health affects. The dust can also contaminate water, food and any other materials it rests upon.)

"We pretended that there was no problem with Agent Orange after Vietnam, and later the Pentagon re­canted after untold suffering by vet­erans," said McDermott in a recent statement. "I want to know scientif­ically if DU poses serious dangers to our soldiers and Iraqi civilians."

McDermott was the member of the House Ethics Committee who re­leased the recorded phone conversa­tion between former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and other senior Re-

We can create a universal

healthcare system that is of the

people, by the people, and for

the people. The president will call it socialized

medicine. I call it made in

America.

publicans that greased Gingrich's resignation in 1998. (There is cur­rently an ethics complaint in the House Committee against McDer­mott over the release of the tape. Former House Leader Tom DeLay is suspected of trying to cut a deal re­garding his own money laundering ethics issue, using the complaint against McDermott as leverage.)

McDermott has always been a leader in advocating for the people. In January, he assumed a leadership role as the ranking Democrat on the Human Resources Committee. The committee covers child welfare, un­employment benefits and poverty and family assistance. His guiding principles are to ensure that all Americans can earn a living wage, have affordable health care cover­age and access to affordable housing and education.

"America needs a universal health care system designed, built and fi­nanced by Americans. We can look at what other nations have done and learn from their mistakes and sHc­cesses. We can create a universal health care system that is of the peo­ple, by the people, and for the peo­ple," McDermott said last year in the Congressional Record. "The president will call it socialized med­icine. I call it made in America."

McDermott is the National Presi­dent of Americans for Democratic Action and the ranking liberal in Congress. •

THE DISENCHANTED AMERICAN'S GUIDE TO UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE Universal healthcare is a government~sponsored, single-payer system that ensures healthcare coverage for all citizens of a nation regardless of income level or employment status.

THE ADVANTAGES: • Every citizen's healthcare needs are financially covered. • There's no need to worry about co-payments or deductibles. • Theres no need to worry about healthcare coverage if you are laid off

or unemployed for any reason. • Due to the nature of a single-payer system, administrative costs are centralized

and drastically reduced.

THE DISADVANTAGES: • It is widely considered un-American to institute a system that gives a free ride to

unemployed individuals. Also, universal healthcare takes power out of the private business realm and places it in the public government realm.

• Sales and income taxes would be raised to help pay the costs of universal health­care coverage.

• Salaries for healthcare workers would most likely decrease. • Waiting times for non-critical medical procedures and appointments would likely

increase.

THE ETHICS: The current healthcare system treats people's health as an economic commodity. However, many feel that access to healthcare should be considered a basic human right, not an article of trade to be bought and sold.

There are more than 300 national fast food franchise restaurants in Hawai 'i affecting-,and being affected by­local culture. Michael Cheang, in his 1998 dis­sertation at the University of Hawai 'i, found

Or take Subway. In spite of being a late­comer on the local franchise scene (its debut location opened in 1987), the faux deli has managed to establish a huge presence in the islands. A Subway opened on the UH Manoa campus last year, and Ted Davenport, the company's development agent for Hawai'i says he worked for seven years to make that happen. The chain is currently working on in-

corporating local tastes into the menu. "You might see a 6-inch kalua pig sand­

wich by the end of the year," says Davenport. The fusion continues-not only are nation­

al chains invading the local food scene, but lo­cal food has moved beyond our borders to the mainland and even to other countries. In re­cent years, a number of local franchise eater­ies have made headlines-Magoo's is selling pizza in China and national Taco Bell and Piz­za Hut sells local Zippy's chili. But it's L&L that is leading the charge.

L&L doesn't use the term "plate lunch" in its mainland restaurants. Instead the cuisine is called "Hawaiian barbecue." Flores says that with about 80 L&L restaurants on the mainland today and more than 100 set to open by the end of the year-along with 50 or 60 copycat restaurants with names like Waikiki Hawaiian Barbecue and L&K Hawaiian Bar­becue-the words "plate lunch" are on their way out.

"In five to 10 years, we won't call it plate lunch but Hawaiian barbecue," he says. "Only old-timers will remember the plate lunch."

"This is the first time you see Hawaiian foods going mainstream on the mainland," Flores says.

L&L has also registered the name in China, and Flores says the company is looking to ex­pand into Japan and American Samoa as well.

"It's exciting because I think the food is more accepted by people in the West. It's just a matter of time before the East explodes, too," he says.

l~.!!!.! !!~!ilf!!: ~ :, Ethnic Studies department at the University of Hawai 'i who studies okazuya and other as­pects of local culture, says there is one major difference between a franchise and a chain like L&L. Whereas global franchises focus on delivering the same product around the world, "local plate lunches absolutely violate those principles. L&L is not like McDonald's. It doesn't have the uniformity of size and taste. You don't have the efficiency because people come in and talk story," he says.

Zippy' s Restaurants, for example, have similar physical structures but L&L restau­rants often look different.

"The food is made locally, usually," she says. 'There are vendors who take great pride in the food that they make. They get up early. It's usually made by a family, not a massive conglomerate."

Fast food conglomerates are what kicked off the Slow Food movement, which started in 1986 in Italy as a reaction to the country's first McDonald's. Demonstrators threw pasta on the new restaurant-but the movement today is less hostile. Locally, the Slow Food chapter started thee years ago and has 80 to 100 mem­bers on O'ahu, 70 on the Big Island and a handful on Maui and Kaua 'i. "[Slow Food] is a reaction to the movement toward fast and convenience foods, and the breakdown of the traditions of families eating together and en­joying food and also choosing food that comes from their own area and supporting local pro­ducers and farmers," says Pi 'ianaia.

According to her, the slow-food concept is "that you don't have to be angry and fight and hate people, but if you can make people aware and remember what good food is and where it comes from and the connections to the land and the people who produce it, then people will choose better food. It's really an educa­tional movement as well as a reactionary movement." •

. . ?""Pl . " ast1cs, sir. astlcs. It's one of the many great

moments in the 1967 classic The Graduate. Benjamin has returned from college, struggling to acclimate himself among his parents' guests at the party they throw in his honor. "Plastics" is the advice he_gets from "some old geezer," as Betty Burdick describes the scene. Burdick directs the stage version at Manoa Valley Theatre, opening chis week.

In British playwright Terry John­son's adaptation, the plastics line is given to Mr.Robinson. A bit odd con­sidering that Robinson is a lawyer and the line doesn't fie his character, says Burdick but it didn't sway her from finally accepting the directing job.

"The movie had a big impact on me," Burdick says. "I initially didn't want to direct it. Because of the movie, I thought it was a man's script and the movie was imprinted on my brain.

"A lot of [ the play version] is taken from the movie and the book but he's made the women's characters have more depth."

So when the original director, re­tired UH-Manoa cheater professor Roger Long, needed to bow out from the production, MVT managed to persuade Burdick to step in. She re­cruited a talented case from auditions including Justin Brassier as Ben­jamin, Patrice Scott as Mrs. Robin­son, Allen Cole as Mr. Robinson, Karen Valasek and James Stanton as Benjamin's parents and Melanie Gar­cia as Elaine.

Burdick has thrown in a lot of'60s music for atmosphere, including The Graduate's theme song-Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson." And she even sneaks in some Moody Blues from the '90s.

The show begins with a reading from Robertson's upcoming proj­ect, Have a Nice Death, a narrative film that raises questions about death and "quality of life choices."

"Because of the Terri Schiavo case, I chink there was some misconstruing of how hos­pice is portrayed in the media," says Robertson.

The production is a fundraiser for Kokua Mau, a statewide coalition dedicated to improving end-of-life care in Hawai'i, with a portion of the proceeds funding Robertson's film. With both productions as outlets, her goal is to put hospice care in a positive light, raise aware­ness and give aloha to tutu.

that-unlike G~eek tragedies-this story has "nothing with kings, noth­ing with crowns" and instead brings on the "lovers, liars and clowns."

I c' s no coincidence that slam po­etry has thrived in multicultural cities like New York and San

Local slam poetry has enjoyed an almost unexpected proliferation, due to diligence by pioneers such as Kealoha and the Hawai'i Slam T earn.

Founder Kealoha will host as painters paint, DJs spin, musicians wail and slam poets spit out provoca­tive verse about whatever makes them tick-or ticks them off.

"The no-rules format allows the artists to unleash their creativity, whether it be through music, collab­oration or whatever," says Kealoha. This event also features members of Youth Speaks, an after-school work­shop that develops aspiring talent. "We took six of them to San Francis­co for an international competition .

Native Americans from Hawai'i and the mainland will gather at the southwest corner of

Kapi'olani Park chis weekend for the 13th annual Powwow, a social gather­ing meant to reunite families with food and activities and to celebrate the value of community. Individuals express their spiricuality and traditions through dancing, singing and drumming.

Powwows have grown in populari­ty so much in recent years that every major city has a Powwow. "It's possi­ble to go to a different one every weekend," says Bill Tiger, a member of the Muscogee Creek and president of event sponsor lntercribal Council of Hawaii. "The dancing is competi­tive on the mainland because there is large prize money that people make a living off of."

Tiger says many of chem will be performing here, but they offer no prize money to keep admission free and open co all.

Master of Ceremonies and Lakota Tribe member David Eagle Horse from Long Beach, Calif., will guide the -newcomers on the significance of the dances and the meanings of ritu­als in the main arena. Spectators will be able to participate in the Friend­ship Dance.

Tiger, who has devoted much of his time to helping Native Americans obtain social services and tribal recog­nition, speaks to the diverse state of Native Americans in the United Scates. While some tribes like the Pe­quot from Connecticut have success­fully used their gambling enterprises co educate and advance its people, other reservations are impoverished with alcoholism, says Tiger. Sobriety is necessary to celebrate learning about the self and community at the powwow, so the event will be drug and alcohol free.

Sugar daddy DJ Big Daddy Dave has been around for three decades-not that you'd know it by his boyish charm and youthful voice.

Dave, who is a resident at 1739, grew up in the Bay Area in the '60s, surrounded by the Dead and Led Zeppelin-if,~ a wonder that he spins heavy progressive and trance.

"I have no life:' says Dave, who lives a monk-like existence during the day. "All I do is work:'

Dave finds material in industry magazines and at the Beat, a record store on Beretania that has been around almost as long as Dave.

Dave has spun in 3-D (now known as Fusions), Pink Cadillac and various Waikiki venues. It's no surprise then that he's got a following. "I have a little fan club. It's pretty trippy;' he says. "On certain songs, they scream their asses off:'

And the living's good. "Music is life:' Dave says. "I live for it 24-7?' 1739, 1739 Kala:kaua Ave, Fri & Sat nights

A celebration honors Hawaiian music's royalty

Decade of fame MICHELLE TAKIGUCHI

T he Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame isn't your typical muse­um. Since its incep­tion in 1995, the

HMHF has been a traveling muse­um made of koa displays that are featured around town. Each display honors Hawaiian composers, musi­cians and vocalists that have impact­ed Hawaiian music.

The first to be honored were the Royal Four or Na Lani 'Eha, siblings David Kalakaua, William Leleio­hoku, Lili 'uokalani and Miriam Likelike. The Hall of Fame advisory selection board picks recipients to honor every year--except this one.

Instead, this year's concert will celebrate the Hall of Fame's 10th Anniversary and recognize past hall of fame inductees through song and dance.

""This is the first year that there hasn't been anyone inducted. It's time we celebrate these people, be­cause we never get to say thank you to them," says kurnu hula Kula Abi­va. The celebration will feature the music of the honored recipients per­formed by well-known entertainers, many of which are family members.

Among the evening's entertainers is 2004 honoree and Hall of Fame advisory board chairnian Kahauanu Lake, lovingly known as ''Uncle K." Along with 2001 honoree Aunty Genoa Keawe, Lake is the only oth­er living Hall of Fame honoree. Al­though he has been performing for more than half a century, Lake re­mains modest.

"I can't get used to that kind of honor. I don't feel I'm good enough. But then I'm not going to knock their opinion about me. I thank them very much," he says.

In 1955, Lake organized the Ka­hauanu Lake Trio with his brother Tommy and Al Machida. A self­taught ukulele player, Lake incorpo­rated touches of swing and jazz into the trio's music, with three part har­monies and progressive chords de­veloping a sound that was soothing to the malihini ear. With the help of his mentor, 1995 honoree Kawena Pukui, the mpther of the Hawaiian dictionary, Lake translated Hawaiian songs into ''hapa haole," always find­ing the right words and making sure he had the correct pronunciations.

"I had talked to [Lake], and he said, 'You know, it's important forus [ mu­sicians] to do our hapa haole songs,

· because in that way, you know when we have the tourists come, they can understand what we are singing about,"' says Hall of Fame director Ellen Hollinger-Martinez.

"He would take the nuance of the song. He would take the kaona or the hidden meaning of the song and try to express that in English so that people can understand," says Abiva. "It's a very fine art."

Abiva started as a dancer and studied hula under Lake's wife, kumu hula Ma 'iki Aiu Lake. After her passing in 1984, Abiva became

Lake's protege and has been for the last 20 years.

Abiva says one of the most im­portant things he has learned from Ma'iki and Lake is to have ha'aheo, or pride in what you do.

"That's what attracted me to them, to both of them. To what they were teaching. Hawaiian culture was brought to such a high level," Abiva says. ''To have music on one hand and hula on the other hand, you get a better u~derstanding of this art."

Ma 'iki' s ' former students, Na W ahine Kuikawa or The Special Ladies, will be performing "Pua Lililehua," a song written by Lake about Ma 'iki.

The night also features an all-star cast including Harry Soria, Nina Keali 'iwahamana, Genoa Keawe, Gary Aiko, Hawea Waia'u and Son Kaina, Mahi and Gaye Beamer, The Kamehameha Alumni Glee Club, Emma Yeary, Randal Hongo, Na W ahine Kuikawa, Ardis Gomes, Pi 'ilani Smith, Kula Abiva and Ha-

JAZZ,BABY

lau O Na Kipu'upu'u and the Ka­hauanu Lake Singers.

Lake is excited about the concert. For the last 10 years-he calls it the "beginning of time"-he has been performing in the Hall of Fame con­certs.

"I've always performed. That'll be the last thing I do. If anything, I'll always perform. I hope we sell a million tickets so we can all retire," says Lake.

Pa'ahana will provide pre-show entertainment starting at 7PM. A "Meet the Artists" segment and a book signing will follow at 8:30PM. Authors Ronna Bolante and Michael Keany will also be there autographing copies of The 50 Greatest Hawai'i Albums," which features many of the honorees. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Hall of Fame. • ·

Hawaii Theatre, 1130 Bethel St, 617, pre-show 7PM, show starts 7:30PM, $20-$25, 528-0506, 596-8885, www.hawaiimusicmuseum.org

Two days isn't nearly long enough for a jazz festival, but the annual Hawai'i International Jazz Festival promises to pack as much of the low-key, melt-in-your-mind smoothness of some of jazz's greatest performers as will fit into a two evening affair.

The first night's theme is "Piano Titans; Hawaiian Strings" and will feature Grammy nominated pianists Makoto Ozone and Don Grusin (who co-founded the Brazilian record label Columbus Egg), along with local strings masters Jeff Peterson on slack key guitar, Abe Lagrimas on ukulele and Owana Salazar on steel guitar.

Though neither a piano titan nor a Hawaiian strings player, trumpet soloist DeShan­non Higa will be there too. (What's a local music fest without him?)

The festival, in its 12th year, will close with an evening of Latin jazz and soul followed by tributes to Ray Charles, Artie Shaw and Martin Denny. The Poncho Sanchez Band's Scott Martin will do his thing on the saxophone while members of the Hawaii Interna­tional Jazz Festival Band accompany him and remind the audience of just how much we miss the three guys whose songs became life anthems (Charles' "Hit the Road, Jack"), whose smoothness renewed our faith in single reed band-geek instruments (Shaw made the clarinet cool), and whose musical innovation proved that jungle noises do indeed have a place in jazz (Denny's Exotica album). -Kawehi Haug

FROM FLO ENCE TO

DEBORAH LEE GALESI, having lived various lives between the Universe and Mother Earth, is born once again, in· Paterson, New Jersey, U.S.A. As a small child, she discovered a great love for oil pointing, and was encouraged by her teacher to follow this strong passion. Eleonor Egg was her first private art instruc­tor. After some years, Deborah graduated from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in art and psychology. Then continuing her private lessons with Maestro Raymond Whyte and Maestro Gene Scarpentoni, from the "Art Student's League," New York City, she was able to show ~er work in New York, Colorado, New Jersey and France. Her work is collected privately in the United States, Fronce, Japan, Italy and Mexico.

Deborah taught for some years in the U.S.A. and after Meastro Gene Scarpentoni's death, she travelled all aver Europe in search of a new Maestro. She found herseff in Florence, ltoly, and as she continued her artistic path, Deborah began studying at Villa Schifanoia, but not to her satisfaction. Therefore, she happily found herseff as an apprentice with Ben Long, a student of Annigoni specializing in portraits. Today, Deborah shows us various styles in her work; Conceptual, Impressionism, Symbolism, Naif, Fantatique, New Realism, and/ or Surrealism, depending on her spiritual moments. Thus, her paintings are based on the vibrations received from places or lifetimes, or from space without time. In reality, since childhood, Deborah has always been attracted to Florence by the magical energy of the Renaissance, which allowed her to know her inner self more fully. Deborah's paintings transmit many mes­sages for humanity, so that humanity may remember the true fundamental val­ues of love, life and nature. Her art captures the invisible world and metamor­phosis, essential and important. These are the keys to believing in our dreams.

Deborah's aspirations and dreams have always been to live in a New Renaissance (Rebirth) with balance. She decided to call the "Avanti ! Sempre Avanti ! " She launched an International ~ Atelier in which we can get a creative vortex of energy flowing for working together and far apart in harmony, love, brotherhood and sisterhood.

The artist, Deborah Lee Galesi, now resides in the state of Hawaii on the Island of Maui. After getting married and spending several years remodeling her home, the fine artist is ready to share her work with her native country, the United States of America.

Deborah Lee Galesi has recently returned to the Islands from a very successful show in New York. The following article was published in the Gallery & Studio Magazine (written by critic, Maurice Taplinger).

One of the centerpieces of Deborah Lee Galesi's recent solo exhibition at the 584 Broadway location of Montserrat Gallery (which will include her work in

its yeariound salon on moving to its new space in Chelsea), was a large oil on corr vas called "Look Inside," which took its inspiration from the biblical Psalm 23: "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies."

The painting presented a kind of freeform contemporary version of The Last Supper, populated by an eclectic cast of characters, some in fill color, others in gri­saille, representing several nationalities. They were gathered around a circular table split down the middle, as if by an earthquake, its pyramidal opening revealing a rainbow-vibrant realm of cosmic phenomena, mountain ranges,m waterfalls, wind­ing rivers and verdant foliage. Within this vast visionary landscape, which could rel}" resent an earthly Paradise, a woman in native dress bathed an infant in shallow water, while white swans glided along, porpoises left through the air in formation, and a luminous angel waded nearby. For all its multilayered imagistic complexity, as the title "Look Inside" suggests, the message of the painting seemed profound­ly simple: Look past the conference tables where bargains are struck between gov­ernment leaders and politicians negotiating the fate of humanity to one's own inner being, where the real truth of existence lies within easy reach.

One of the things that makes Galesi's work do fascinating is her willingness to take risks that would daunt a less intrepid painter, as seen in another large canvas called "Infinite Quantum Leap: Infinite Possibilities," which has become an emblematic work of her career, having been repeatedly reproduced in the Village Voice and other publications. In this composition a prehistoric hunter and another figure who appears to be a medieval knight brandishing a long sword ride the back of a fire-breathing dinosaur, while a huge wave of water whooshes up behind the huge creature like a jet-trail, a white dolphin discernible within its white foam. And far be it for Galesi to stop there: the figure of a shaman sitting in the lotus position holding a ceremonial staff and a sort of sparkler god with luminous, wiggling rays emanating from his entire body can be seen levitating in the deep, nocturnal dark­ness surrounding the main figures!

In this large oil, too, the artist appears to be paying tribute to indigenous insp~ rations and imparting wisdom channels from the ancients. Yet the real triumph, in strictly aesthetic terms, is how successfully Galesi balances all of these disparate images within a composition that goes far beyond the efforts of other internation­al Nao-Expressionists in her all-out willingness to share the truth of her experience with the viewer. For Galesi, a native of Patterson, New Jersey, this means calling upon the technical skills that she honed at the Art Students League in New York City and during a long periods of study in Florence, Italy, where she soaked up the methods of the Renaissance masters who were her earliest inspiration, in order to make every image that she paints a palpable representation of her inner quality.

This a complex undertaking indeed, since Galesi's inner reality is fed by a vari­ety of esoteric sources, which include her fascination with everything from Native American Culture to the art of the Etruscans and the ancient Egyptians, as well as the New Age theories of Deepak Chopra, among any number of other passing inter-

ests which invariably find their way to her pictures. An image especially emblemat­ic of Galesi's spiritual path is the oil an canvas she calls "Infinite Dance of Bliss," in which a figure that appears to be a symbolic seff-portrait floats above a volcanic landscape in a stratosphere where smaller beings of pure light seem to surf on streams of purplish illumination emanating from the stars. Here, on a canvas whose perfectly symmetrical square format enhances the composition's sense of infinite space, is a vision of transcendence to rival those of 110 less delightfully daft a British visionary than the great William Blake! And while this could seem an enter· prise fraught with peril for g contemporary painter, Galesi possesses both the tech­nical skill and the spiritual conviction to make the painting succeed.

Even more stortling in conceptual terms, yet just as successful in its own marr ner is the large oil called "Swept Away by the Dolphin Vortex," in which a dolphin with the body of a woman rises like a Botticelli Venus out of the sea, set against a watery swirl that gives Galesi the opportunity to flaunt her virtuoso painterly skills in one of her boldest, most dazzlingly Expressionistic compositions to date.

Deborah Lee Galesi has already amassed an impressive exhibition history around the country and in various places abroad: France, Japan, Australia and par­ticularly Italy, where she is especially esteemed. She has also exhibited in New York City in the past. However, the sheer range and scope of her most recent solo show at Montserrat Gallery (which included many more paintings than those described here, among them smaller works such as the pensive nude "Solitude," presenting a more intimate side of her talent) seemed to make is a landmark in her career.

Q&A ·········~·······························································

What kinds of people go to your seminars?

The seminars are typically people anywhere from in their 20s to their 60s. We seem to attract a lot of athletes, but we also attract a lot of business owners. Maybe it's because we're both Olympic athletes. The training we do in Hawai 'i attracts mostly people that are involved in athletics, sports performance or coaches. We also attract a lot of people that are in the health profession-nurses, doctors, massage therapists.

What made you go into this? Originally, I was very much attracted to mind and body medicine. Really, because I was an athlete and I was al­ways looking for something that was gonna give me an edge in athletic performance. I learned through the school of knocks that it wasn't through anything any­one told me because everything everyone was telling me was if you train hard enough you could do well in athletics. But what I realized in my career was that even if you train really hard and are one of the most fit peo­ple out there and even if you have really good equip­ment and really great coaching-if your head wasn't in the right place you weren't going to perform well. So as an athlete I was always looking for that extra edge and I wanted to do it in a natural way, I wasn't interested in · any kind of drugs that could harm my body. I was very much into good nutrition and paid close attention and was very disciplined in my physical training. But the difference between a good day and a great day, or a great day and an extraordinary day had more to do with what was between my two ears and less to do with what was going on with my legs. As a matter of fact, if my mind was in the right place, I could even override not feeling well. It's a little bit like if you come to work and you're not feeling too good, but you get to do some­thing you really like, or you get to work with someone you really like, once you get into your job that feeling goes away. But if you don't like your job or your boss treats you poorly, you could be feeling like a million bucks and you come into work and all of a sudden your energy drains. So I just learned that the difference be­tween a good day and a great day had more to do with what was going on with me internally and less to do with external things like the weather, my coach or if I broke some equipment. Those kinds of things don't re­ally have an affect on you if you don't allow them to. So that's really what got me into it. As I looked into who was doing what in the field of mind-body medi­cine, I realized a lot of the really significant teachings come from the ancient wisdoms and traditions of the world. The more I delved into that, the closer it brought me to what I'm doing now, which is a number of differ­ent things. I saw some people for insomnia, a gentle­man who wanted to increase sales with his business, I saw a young kid whose parents are going through a di­vorce and he's caught in the middle.

Maggie Connor INTERVIEW BY GENEVIEVE A. SUZUKI

T wo~time world champion skier Maggie Connor knows what it's like to fly down a mountain of snow at a breakneck pace. The 1992 Olympian says she understands the drive to be No.l. But while her life once revolved around rigorous training of her body, it now consists of meditation and mind work. Connor and her business partner, National Champion cyclist Traci Brown, travel around the world to help people find their mental groove. Once the athletes others rooted for, Connor and Brown are now a private cheering section forothers, including the New York Yankees, the St. Louis Rams and U.S. Olympic snowboarder Lisa Kosglow.

You said you incorporate the wisdoms of the world. Which ones?

I'm trying to specialize in the ancient Hawaiian wis­dom. That's the field that I've been studying for about 14 years. I've also studied the ayurveda system of India and Deepak Chopra. My background is Catho.lic. It's been an interesting journey to learn about Native Amer­ican beliefs, about Buddhists and their original core be­liefs, the beliefs of the Sufis and the mystics, or the Zen tradition. What I've found along the way is they're all essentially teaching the same thing, just in a different context.

What is the common thread? My feeling is the monotheism of them all that there is one God, known by lots of different names. That divin­ity is inside each and every one of us. There is no sepa­ration between us and the person sitting next to us­knowing that we're all one and we're all interconnected.

How did you get into studying the Hawaiian teachings? The class that we do is La'au Kahea, which is psycho­logical healing. I got into the Hawaiian system by look­ing into what kinds of ancient wisdoms and traditions were out there. Before I found the Hawaiian system, I was very deeply into the ancient Native American wis­doms, the wisdoms of the Mayans and the spirituality of the Aztecs. Hawai 'i was an obvious one, because if you study the Plains Indians, while they had a lot of knowl­edge, they didn't have a lot of knowledge of how to live off the ocean, because they lived on the plains. So, too, the Native Americans that lived on the coastline, while they had a lot of knowledge of how to live on the coast, they didn't have the wisdom of the Plains Indians. What I found really fascinating about the Hawaiians is they had both. They knew how to live off the 'aina and also how to live off the ocean.

How can we use these teachings to get over our bosses? I was just working with a gentleman who was in a high­pressure job where both of his bosse~ were condescend­ing. It was hard for him to be around them and very frustrating. Our intervention was to let go of the frustra­tion. To get whatever learnings he needed to get from them. One of his learnings was simply that this was their weakness and that it was possible for him to communi­cate with them and let them know that he is learning from them and that they're mentoring him. One of the things he did want to say to them was that people learn better in an environment that is encouraging to them and that treating him the way they were wasn't helping. •

Y our column about mi­crowave ovens moves me to ask: ls cancer in­creasing because we've wrecked the environ­

ment?.For years we've heard about the chemicals and emissions we carelessly spew with dire implica­tions for our health. Meanwhile, cancer seems to be on the rise: I've heard breast cancer is up sharply, and melanoma too. But I've also heard cancet is increasing because we now live long enough to get it, thanks to modern medicine's suc­cess against illnesses that used to kill people at an earlier age. What'.s the story? Is cancer really more common, and if so, why? -Nick Stalnos, Kankakee, Illinois

I f I ever get this figured out, bub, I'll invest the Nobel mon­ey in beer and comic books and spend the rest of my days on the beach-I'll have earned

it. The question is complicated by countless variables, and establishing the simplest facts can be madden­ingly difficult. For now here's what we know:

•Fora while we thought some key cancer rates were flat or declining, but on further study it turns out they're going (oops) up. This bomb­shell dropped in 2002 with the publi­cation of a paper innocuously titled "Impact of Reporting Delay and Re­porting Error on Cancer Incidence Rates and Trends." The gist: A signif­icant fraction of cases (3 to 12 per­cent, depending on cancer type) don't get reported promptly to the leading United States cancer data registry­in fact, it can take anywhere from four to 17 years following initial di­agnosis before most (99-plus per­cent) cancers are counted. The miss­ing cases can make early trend re­ports misleadingly rosy. Melanoma incidence in white males, for exam­ple, was once thought to be easing; now analysts think it's rising 4 per-

cent per year. • Notwithstanding such fine

points, few dispute that (a) rates for many common cancers over the past 30 years are way up; (b) that's partly a function of the fact that we're living longer-cancer inci­dence rises rapidly with age be­tween 40 and 80; (c) 'age having been adjusted for, environmental factors, including lifestyle choices such as diet, are the chief drivers behind the climb, accounting for anywhere from 65 to 90 percent of human cancer. Some alarming numbers: The white female breast cancer rate rose from 103 cases per 100,000 person-years in 1977 to 146 in 1998. The prostate·cancer rate for black men shot up from about 141 in 1975 to 342 in 1993. The white maie melanoma rate went from 9 in 1975 to 28 in 2001. Migrant studies show the impor- · tance of the environment in many of these increases. For example, Asian natives have a low incidence of prostate cancer, but for U.S.-born sons of Asian immigrants, who pre­sumably have adopted Western habits, the rate doubles.

• That said, cancer rates don't track environmental trends in any obvious way- in fact, the most striking characteristic of U.S. cancer charts since the mid- '70s, when cen­tralized data collection began, is how abruptly and often inexplicably the rates change, even after you smooth the curve to average out year-to-year fluctuations. For exam­ple, after rising steadily for years, prostate cancer spiked up a whop­ping 69 percent from 1989 to 1992, then dropped almost equally sharply. What happened? The cur­rent consensus is that a new test, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening, turned up many previous­ly undetected cancers; presumably the rate fell once all the old cancers had been found.

More mystifying is the sudden

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

change in rates for colorectal cancer. After a steady rise, the rate leveled off for blacks after 1980 and began a prolonged drop for whites starting in 1985. (After the mid-'90s the rate for whites flattened out or headed back up, depending on what num­bers you believe.) The falloff has been credited to better diet, but does anyone really think U.S. eating habits improved or even stabilized during the era of supersizing?

• The message the cancer-preven­tion crowd harps on is that your chances of getting cancer are large­ly a matter of personal choice, so don't smoke, exercise regularly, eat less fat and more fiber, etc. While this is surely true, people often wor­ry more about the cancer dangers they don't (or didn't) know about, such as lung cancer due to asbestos. What percentage of cancer deaths arise from such insidious threats? Respected UK researcher Richard Doll offered the following estimates in 1998: ionizing radiation, UV light, 5 to 7 percent; occupational exposure, 2 to 4 percent; air-, water and food-borne pollution, 1 to 5 per­cent. For comparison, tobacco ac­counts for maybe 29 to 31 percent of deaths and diet 20 to 50 percent. Conclusions: (1) the experts think cancer risk due to smoking and lousy eating habits dwarfs most of the stuff people get paranoid about; (2) expert opinion notwithstanding, given that 30-point spread for diet, many cancer risk estimates barely qualify as educated guesswork.

Competition-is not a cinematic trendsetter. The writing is awkward at times and the acting forced, but the film's success lies in its subtle­ty-it's sad but not depressing, ro­mantic but not Hollywood sappy, exultant but not boastful. •

Rosencrantz, Guildensten1 &Kinsey T

om Stoppard's Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (1990) and Bill Condon's Kin­

sey (2004) are both out on DVD this week (Kinsey iri two forms), and they are the best shows in town, just about. With their bonuses (a Con­don audio-over and a terrific inter­view with Stoppard), these two movies become brand-new. While Rosencrantz infuriates those over whose heads it majestically sails, and Kinsey adds new material avail­able about the sex-researcher only since 1997 (his own sexual experi­mentation), earning the ire of the neocons, these movies now cannot be stopped.

Adapting his play and directing it for the screen, Stoppard gives the hi­larious comedy a new dimension,

masterwork as deep ( or, if you pre­fer, shallow) as any in memory-it's Samuel Beckett on laughing gas, a study of existential angst working within the laws of probability. Miraculously, this cosmic vaude­ville-tum works both as a play and a movie.

In Kinsey, problem-solving writer Condon (Chicago) teams up with his directorial half to present an amazing amount of material about the life and life-work of the English­speaking world's definitive sex-re­searcher. As remote Kinsey, Liam Neeson excels, but it's Laura Lin­ney as Mrs. Kinsey who's the movie's center, trying to survive in the face of her husband's obses­sions, putting a human face on the statistics. In terms of casting, it's rare-perhaps unprecedented-to see so many great actors (mostly from the New York stage) showing up to do small roles, realizing how important those roles, however tiny, were to the conviction the film needed. The final cameo, by Lynn Redgrave, of a woman freed from psychological anguish by Kinsey's pioneering, caps the movie in the way it needed. This is a first-rate bio-pic, free from the gussied-up waxworks of such projects. The bonus, Condon's commentary of nearly two hours, gives the film a further resonance. •

Unattributed film synopses indicate movies not yet reviewed by HW staff

Opening Cinderella Man Russell Crowe (as boxer Jim Braddock) and Rene Zellweger (as his love) star; Ron Howard directs, using his Beautiful Mind screenwriter. Big box office is promised. Lords of Dogtown Now as a narrative, this film, expected to be the sleeper hit of the sum­mer, stars Heath Ledger. Sistelfloocl of the Traveling Pants Touted as a real sleeper, this comedy-drama is earning rave reviews (nearly) everywhere. It's about friendship, we're told.

Continuing Crash Writer-director Paul Haggis (Million Dollar Baby) makes us look beyond knee-jerk responses to social problems to examine our own denial. It also gives its cast-Sandra Bul­lock, Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon, Brendan Fras­er-some of the best material they've had in years. Keep on a collision course with Crash. It's tough and foul-mouthed-but also intelli­gent and insightful. (Reviewed 5/11) -Bob Green Fever Pitch Drew Barrymore and1t'IJimmy Fallon together again for the first tinter in a comeback film essayed by the Farrelly Bros. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Two cheers for the witty film version of Douglas Adams' bestselling novel. An ordinary earthling named Arthur Dent is saved by a friend, and sent on journeys to other worlds, which include characters such as bureaucrats extraordinaire the Vogons; a depressed robot named Marvin;

, Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed president of the Imperial Galactic Universe; and sp fix that are quite special. (Reviewed 5/4) -Bob Green

a blacksmith who rises up to protect Jerusalem from foreign invaders during the Crusades of the 12th century. Kung Fu Hustle It's 1940s Shanghai and a clueless wannabe is itching to join the notori­ous Axe gang in Stephen Chow's action-com­edy.

The Hero (0 Heroi) Dir: Zeze Gamboa, Angola/Portugal/France, 97m, 2005, NR I Portuguese w/E.S. 2005 Sundance Winner! Widely celebrated as the film that gives birth to Angolan cinema, The Hero is a powerful film. Manu is left without a mother or father. Vit6rio is left without a leg. Maria is left without a son and Joana is left without hope. The many years of war in Angola have left many people, rich and poor, simply "without." The Hero charts four characters searching to fill their own spaces of longing. The gentle weaving of narratives knits a picture of contemporary Angola, a country gingerly piecing itself back together. Director Zeze Gamboa 's skill lies in building a subtle case for human longing, while peeling away the layers to reveal a complex post-colonial experience and a rarely explored milieu. Do not miss this exceptional film, it's a potential 2006 Oscar winner. June 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 at 1:00 p.m. June 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 at 7:30 p.m. June 3, 4 and 5 at 4:00 p.m.

Turtles Can Fly (Lakposhtha Ham Paravaz Mikonand) Dir: Bahman Ghobadi, Iran/Iraq, 2004, 95m, NR, Kurdish w/E.S. Set in 2003 just prior to the US invasion, this multi-award winning film shows a refugee camp's obsession with acquiring a satellite dish to keep abreast of America's plans. Capturing the challenges, horrors and intimacies of refugee life (replete with stoicism and humor), what is most striking about Turtles Can Fly is how Ghobadi has fashioned a beautiful and surprisingly uplifting film that celebrates the survival of the human spirit.

Madagasca More CGI animation capers, star­ring the voice of Jada Pinkett Smith as a hippo. Mindhunters First released, then withdrawn,

then re-tooled, this movie-yes, another Val Kilmer thriller with an intriguing premise-is about post-modern profiling.

Star Wars: Episode HJ.Revenge of the Sith Let's get the obligatory bad stuff out of the way: Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker is awful; Natalie Portman as his pregnant wife Padme whines her way through the movie; and George Lucas can't write dialogue worth shit. But when Anakin finally pledges allegiance to Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Episode III finally kicks into high gear and all is forgotten. (Reviewed 5/25)-Ryan Senaga Unleashed French action maestro Luc Besson (The Professional) returns to the theme of fos­ter care surrounded by stylized violence. This time, however, the roles are reversed. Instead of the foster parent caring for the helpless orphan, it is the naive street urchin who is the deadly killer.

The still new Star Point Cafe shows promise

Humans create art for each of the senses -music for the ears, painting for the eyes, sculpture

for the hands and perfume for the nose. Though some tout cuisine as art for the tongue, food's utility manages to lower it in most.minds to a craft, a logic that renders chefs artisans rather than artists. Kate Wagner is an artist who happens to be the force behind StarPoint Cafe, a restaurant so new that it nearly vi­brates with unexpressed potential. Wagner cooks with the passion and eloquence of someone trying to make a point, not money.

A golden brown triangle of puff pastry shattered under my fork, and as it disintegrated in my mouth, I could taste real butter and hard work. Anyone making this Mushroom Tri­angle could have used commercial puff pastry-most diners wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. But the pate feuilletee was made by hand, transforming what is normally a prosaic flaky pastry into something truly scrumptious, with a crisp, deli­cate crunch that melts into a heady perfume of concentrated mushroom. Who but an artist would do this for

$9 a plate? The dining room acts as a gallery

with artwork that changes every three weeks. Near the entrance is a permanent display of high-heeled shoes, decorated with a striking combination of whimsy and men­ace. These were made by Wagner, who can no longer wear high heels, and who took out her sartorial frus­tration in a creative way.

It's this kind of chutzpah that makes me desperately want to love this restaurant. But great intentions don't always translate into great food, and eating here can be a gam­ble. The clam linguine blens fabu­lously fresh clams with listless pas­ta in a watery, insipid cream sauce. On the other hand, the Portuguese seafood pasta is gutsy and flavorful with a deeply smoky tomato and bell pepper sauce that, along with scallops, clams and shrimp dares to include kidney beans.

To her credit, Wagner makes an ef­fort to use local products as much as possible, and the sliced strip steak ap­petizer is made from North Shore Cattle Comp'1Jly grass fed beef. If you're expecting a steak that's butter soft it's going to disappoint, as grass­fed beef is usually chewy and a bit gristly, but has more than its share of honest beef flavor. StarPoint's main

courses tend to be rich and heavy, like the cassoulet that packs a thick slice of bread in the stew of duck and beans.

Wagner's approach is best seen in her modestly named Brownies a la Mode. What she calls a brownie the rest of us would call an extremely good French chocolate torte. Breath­takingly chocolaty, dense on the ~ outside and lusciously creamy on the inside, it is topped with high quality ice cream to a dizzying ef­fect-it's dessert sensory overload.

There are no half-measures with StarPoint, and that alone makes it a worthy work in progress. The ingre­dients here a're consistently good­they're just not always handled with grace. With time this may change, and StarPoint may show the kind of panache it needs to succeed. •

Ravioli is made fresh in-house and served generously, and usually topped with just the right herbs.

AmEx, DC, Disc, JCB, MC, V In a city blessed with dozens of Thai restaurants, Phuket Thai is one of the un­heralded best. Noodle and curry dishes delight with an artful balance of savory and spice, but it's the touch of sweetness in unexpected places (try the Paht Ki Mao) that really sets this cozy eatery apart. The Stuffed Chicken Wings are also a must. A new maitre'd station­towering at the entrance to an already tiny establishment-<letracts from the relaxed

atmosphere, but the staff remains friendly and Phuket Thai is one of Honolulu's true gems.

I am in charge of marketing for Pre-Dating Events LLC. We started holding Speed Dating Events in Honolulu a few months ago and did not get the attendance we had desired. Once we started advertising in Honolulu 6-Minute Speed Dates Weekly, however, our business really picked up. We have been filling our events to the point that we have had to actually add additional events to keep up with the demand. In addition, I would also like to praise our Honolulu Weekly rep, for really going that extra mile to make our business a success. He has directed us on how to get the most out of our advertis­ing dollars working with a minimal budget. Therefore, if you would like your business to grow quickly, I highly recommend that you advertise in Honolulu Weekly.

(March 21-April 19) Ma~e all you really need right now is a grilled cheese sandwich. It's quite possible that if you savor a well-made version of that earthy deli­cacy, the things that are off-kilter in your life will get smooth and fresh again. I'm not kid­ding, Aries. The adjustment that will help you get back on track is likely to be minor-if not a grilled cheese sandwich, then maybe a hair­cut or a new bedspread or a five-minute con­versation that corrects a misimpression. That reminds me of another secret I want to tell you: Small actions can have big impacts.

(Api;il 20-May 20) The only work that will have lasting value in the coming week is work that you do in the spirit of fun. If you approach any task with nothing more than a desire to get it over with, it will ultimately be useless. If you perfonn a good deed merely out of a sense of duty, it won't bestow any of its intended benefits. These directions apply to the effort you put into your relationship, hobby or art as well as to your actions on the job. Success depends on you playing hard with your spontaneity ful. lyengaged.

GiffilNI (May 21-June 20) 1\venty-nine-year-old Gemini actor Colin Far­rell recently reached out to an older woman-a much older woman. While work­ing on the film Ask the Dust, he made a pro­longed attempt to seduce one of his fellow stars, Dame Eileen Atkins, who was 69 years old at the time. Though she was flattered, she turned him down. In the corning week, Gemi­ni, I urge you' to try a more elevated version of Farrell's quest. Seek intimate contact with an influence that will bless you with the sexy pow­ers of age, wisdom and experience.

Uune 21-July 22) The state of New Hampshire's symbol used to be the Old Man of the Mountain. Carved from rock by a glacier 30,000 years ago, it was a se­ries of granite ledges that jutted out of a moun­tain in the shape of an old man's face. It was a top tourist attraction, and its image appeared on numerous state souvenirs. But in May 2003, it collapsed overnight, weakened by mil­lennia of freezing and thawing. According to my reading of the astrological omens, Cancer­ian, this event has resemblances to an immi­nent disintegration in your own life. Like the original, your experience might be sad, but mostly for nostalgic reasons. No one will get hurt, and ultimately you'll feel exhilarated as you pick a new symbol to inspire you.

uo Uuly 23-Aug. 22) Can you name ten different beer brands but none of the Ten Commandments? That's one of 25 signs that you will ultimately go to hell, ac­cording to divinity professor Jacob Pinewood, quoted in the Week(y World News. Here are other behaviors that may cause you eternal damnation: using the F word more than once a day; coveting your neighbor's household ap­pliances; watching five consecutive hours of 'IV; invoking the Lord's name in vain when you stub your toe; and mentally undressing any person who would be bad for you to get naked with. Luckily for you, Leo, you're now in an as­trological phase when engaging in the above actions will not earn you a trip to the infernal regions. That's because you're in an unprece­dented grace period when you have slack to burn. IfI were you, though, I'd use my kannic credit more constructively than simply gelling away with naughty things.

Vl-hGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Janae! Lee is a math teacher who suffers from muscular dystrophy and moves around with the aid of a scooter. Last January she was named Ms. Wheelchair Wisconsin, and began to work as an advocate for disabled people. A

few months later, however, officials stripped her of her crown after a newspaper photo showed her standing up, which she does now and then for brief periods. ''We can't have title holders out there walking when they're seen in public," the officials said. I believe you will soon experience a comparable demotion, Vir­go. Maybe you used to be suited for a certain role that has cast you as an underdog, but you're too strong and healthy for tl1at now.

(Sept. 23-0ct. 22) "Consistency is a highly overrated virtue," wrote William Falk in The Week . "I'm not ashamed to admit that I no longer believe half of what I was sure of 10 years ago. You make mistakes, you get new information, you change your mind along the way. It's a natu­ral process." I urge you to write out the pre­ceding statement and tape it to your mirror or phone for the next seven days. You're in an as-· trological phase when you have everything to gain from changing your mind in a hundred different ways. I dare you to see what life is like when it's not filtered through your famil­iar opinions and theories.

iCO.hPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Last February, three people got lost while rid­ing their mountain bikes in California's San Bernardino National Forest. Luckily, they were rescued by emergency workers before any harm came to them. But the next day they re­turned to the woods to look for their bikes and got lost a second time. Again, help anived in time, and·theywere escorted to safety. Don't be lili;~,them in the coming days, Scorpio. You're allowed to wander off-course and get saved once, but don't make the same mistake twice.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Sometimes the best gift you can give your ego is to tell it you're not miing to be its slave anymore. You say to it, 'Tm tired of being whipped around by every one of your ever­shifting linle needs, and I'm sick of having to kowtow to your inexhaustible demands, and I want to be free of your insatiable craving to be appreciated, recognized and adored. Go away and leave me alone. I'm just going to be who I am without worrying about you at all." Deliv­ering this message often has a radically heal­ing effect. Your ego gets shocked into a state of humility, and you get to do what your soul has been longing to do. Ironically, this often results in you creating changes that make your ego very happy.

C.fl P.h I CO.h N (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A maintenance worker at a restaurant in Queensland, Australia took the lazy way out when he found a dead rat while painting the floor red. Rather than disposing of it, he sim­ply covered it with a few thick strokes of his brush. During a subsequent inspection, how­ever, health inspectors weren't fooled by the partial camouflage and levied large fines on the restaurant. You may soon be tempted to try something similar to what the maintenance worker did, Capricorn. I urge you not to. Don't just try to disguise what's stinking up the place--get rid of it.

Uan. 20-Feb. 18) I live pretty simply, and often have an allergic reaction in the presence of people who have their own jet airplanes, travel with personal servants and style consultants, drink $300-a­bonle champagne and vacation in palatial spas on private islands. Having said that, I am duty­bound to report that you now have an astro­logical mandate to indulge in as much extrav­agant pleasure as you can afford Your watch­word for the week comes from Frank Lloyd Wright: "Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities."

(Feb. 19-March 20) I invite you to try an exercise in creative pre­tending. Ready? In all the ways you can imag­ine, stop thinking that you're outside and in­stead visualize yourself as inside. In other words, suppress your tendency to fantasize that the good stuff is out of reach and hard to get. Picture yourself as being right in the midst of it. End your sense of exile and come all the way in to the heart of every matter. If you do this meditation ten minutes a day for the next seven days, by this time next week the world will already be changing to match the vision you've been building.

Spring cleaning Phytoremediation means, in laymen's terms, getting plants to do your dirty work. The sustainable technology, low­cost, minimally invasive project currently cleaning up the Ala Wai (pic­tured are anchored mats of akulikuli, or sea purslane) runs through April 2006 and perhaps beyond, if the De-

partment of Land and Natural Resources will continue it.

An example of the progress is at the drainage canal closest to the golf course, where there has been a reduc­tion in the water turbidity-the water clarity there is eight times better than it was in January .

In greener days, streams that fed the Ala Wai flowed through wetlands,

. which provided plants and microorgan­isms that would filter the sediment and treat the dissolved nutrients. The goal of the current project, which will also include the replanting of native sea­grass, is to restore that aquatic ecology.

Chad Durkin, ecologist and Natural Systems Inc. project manager, says, "Really the pollution that [the Ala Wai] project is directed at is not so much the

/ ,..

urban pollution, like litter or fertiliz-er .. .it's the natural waste coming off of watershed and conservation lands. It's pretty much similar to fertilizer, it's nitrogen and phosphorous and · carbon ... all organic matter that washes down ... and creates a nutrient situation that causes algal blooms and can create pathogenic bacteria ... So what our proj­ect is focused on is dealing with that, which is part of the Ala Wai problem."
