Monumental conundrum A national monument? What a guy! But I kept wondering why President George W. Bush would actually fol­low up on President Bill Clinton's strong initiatives to preserve and pro­tect the Northwest Hawaiian Islands.

Conventional wisdom has it that he's pleasing the reef-hugging envi­ronmentalists without offending de­velopers, so it's a win-win situation. But that explanation doesn't wash with me. It's not enough.

Then a friend put it, "Isn't it amazing what low approval ratings can do for the environment!" She was getting warm. But still not enough.

Then I figured it out: Imagine 140,000 square miles in the middle of nowhere, closed off to all of those without "authorized access." I think that means anyone but Bill O'Reil­ly. Sounds like an ideal spot for "ex­traordinary r,endition." Why go to Egypt, Jordan and former Soviet

How about "Guantanamo West?" Admit it: Cuba's too accessible. Try getting to the Northwest Hawaiian Islapds ! Then try getting access to the "monument."

Watada's sacrifice It is painful to read the bitter reac­tions to Lt. Ehren Watada's state­ment refusing deployment to Iraq. As someone who opposed the war from its beginning, I was startled and grateful for his courageous stand, but I also knew that the likely prison sentence would be only slightly more difficult for him to bear than the reaction he would get from fellow soldiers, veterans and even-those who had never worn a uniform.

Of course, there are many sol­diers who speak of Lt. Watada's action as dishonorable and coward­ly. If they did not, they would have to confront the enormity of their own contribution to this terrible, terrible war. Their comments are designed to wound, but they are also truthful when they say that sol­diers cannot question commands. Armies depend on this extraordi- · nary discipline imposed on its war­riors, and it is a discipline that de­serves admiration. .

This is why I admire Watada. There is no way that he could have sacrificed his connection with sol-

. diers, his part in a time-honored tra­dition, his very being, except for the most important of reasons. Every soldier who has ever risked his or her life for fellow and country and has had to suspend their individual choices-and occasionally even the morality they were taught in church and family to do their duty-faces the possibility of coming to the real­ization that their war is unjustified or, worse, an evil.

Soldiers who still believe in this war should feel grateful that they do not have to face the crisis in con­science that W atada has faced nor have to pick from the same painful choices. For the rest of us who are not soldiers, we should be the ones­confronting the administration and leading this country to face what it has done to the Iraqi nation and to its own sons and daughters.

Jonathan Osorio Honolulu

A different opinion of Watada You are a coward. However, you

- enlisted into the military. Whether it was to pay for your education or whatever, you knew what was going to be required of you. I will be will­ing to bet that you take full advan­tage of all the rights, privileges, guarantees and freedoms afforded by the United States and its Consti­tution, Hawai 'i &1d its Constitution. And then you pull a stunt like this? Coward. You are a disgrace to the citizens of the city and county of Honolulu, state of Hawai 'i and the United States of America. •

The men and women who have also enlisted in the military knew what was expected from them, just as you did. Those that stay and ful­fill their obligations show their hero­ics and bravery, and they have courage. Remember them always for they are the -true spirit of the USA.

The ad in Honolulu Weekly on June 21 said you have courage. What a lie. I' have put this on my wall to show everyone what you are and a definition of.one word: Cow­ard_ You don't deserve any military salutation, and I can only hope that the military punishes you to the full extent of tl!e law. Coward_

The sky has not fallen Contrary to the dire predictions of the writer of the letter titled "Save marriage" in the June 14-20 Hon­olulu Weekly, the sky has not fallen in Massachusetts or anyplace else which permits same-sex marriage. ·

Bob Barr, the conservative Re­publican who wrote the federal De­fense ofMarriage Act, said that at­tempts to enact the Marriage Protec­tion Amendment are "inexcusable," that it (MPA) would "cheapen the sacrosanct nature of [the U.S. Con­stitution]" and that it would invite "future meddling. by liberals and conservatives."

If this sounds extreme, consider • where we would be if yesteryear's widespread disapproval of interra­cial marriage had been enshrined in the Constitution.

Let's be clear: Judges base their rulings on evidence and the law, not on appeals to emotion or "crowd ap­peal." They rightly disregarded pub­lic opinion when they struck down

---- - - ' -r-v

popular laws banning interracial marriage. No one_today dares to call that judicial activism.

In real life, as in the classroom, the best answer, or the most nearly correct answer, is not the one that is the most popular but the one that is supported by the most powerful rea-soning.

The truth hurts

Kent Hirata Honolulu

. Last night I saw the film An Incon­venient Truth by the man who "used to be the next president of the United States." While the men­tion of Al Gore's name often brings up emotionally charged sentiments on both sides of the political aisle, he is sharing a message in this movie that makes political quarrels seem trivial.

Skeptics who say that current global warming is simply part of earth's normal cycle need to realize that CO2 levels today are already far higher than what the atmos­phere has ever seen in 600,000 years-and temperature patterns · are beginning to follow, not over hundreds or thousands of years, as in earth's history, but within a few decades. The earth is getting warmer-fast.

The movie dispels several mis­conceptions, one of which is that there jg disagreement in the scientif- , ic community over the causes and seriousness of global warming. That debate exists in the media, n-ot among scientists. •

It's strange to me that issues of "morality" are being debated ad nauseam in our government, while the largest moral issue imaginable -that of preserving our planet for future generations-is shrugged off

Pritchett

with the idea that economics are more important than ecology. In re­ality, an economic system based on environmental sensitivity is in­evitable; the sooner we jump on board, the better our economy will -be in the long run.

As Gore noted in the movie, the time of warning is now becoming a time of consequences. . With a feeling of hopelessness

welling up in my chest, I was heart­ened when the movie presented real, feasible solutions to this growing global crisis. Amazingly, we already have all of the technology we need to slow down, or even avoid, more cataclysmic environmental change. All we need is the personal and po­litical will.

Take a moment and think: Is there a single issue more crucial to our generation than protecting our planet?

hanalulu diary What's that sound?

The biennial Rim of the Pa­cific (RIMPAC) exercis­es-under way now in waters near you-have long been a sore spot in

the Islands, despite the $25 million they repq_rtedly pump into the state's economy.

Many residents are still rankled by the Kaho'olawe aerial and sea bombardments that for years were part of the month-long war games orchestrated by the U. S. Navy and its Pacific allies.

Now America and its colonial comrades-in-arms, Australia and Britain, along with Canada, South Korea, Peru, Chile and a newly mil­itaristic Japan, are alienating a

whole new group of people-ma­rine mammal lovers, especially those who live on Kaua 'i, where the U.S. Navy plans to blow up four ships and use underwater sonar, a wall of sound that can be as loud as a jet engine, over 21 days in an area inhabited by 22 species of marine mammals.

Critics fear a replay of RIMP AC two summers ago, when 150 melon head whales came into the shallow waters of Kaua'i's Hanalei Bay. The animals swam in a tight circle, close to shore, for more than a day until a flotilla of canoes helped es­cort them out to sea on July 4. One calf died.

Later, the Navy acknowledged that six ships 20 miles offshore were using sonar, but claimed the exercise began after the first whale was spotted in the bay. The Navy

also said it stopped upon getting word of the stranding. ·

According to The Washington Post, the "loud pings of sound" sent out by sonar equipment "frighten and disorient whales," adding _that the effect "was documented off Greece in 1996 and established lat­er during naval exercise.s in the Ba­hamas, off the Canary Islands and off Spain."

Although the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the federal agency charged with protecting marine mammals, says that sonar was prob­ably a factor in the unusual behav­ior of the melon head whales, it was never proven, to the Navy's stan­dards, anyway, that sonar disorient­ed the whales. Regardless, the inci­dent caused many Hawai 'i residents to sour on sonar.

Local activists with the Sierra Club, Surfrider Foundation, Univer­sal Cetacean Institute and other

groups have been gearing up for months, mounting a public educa­tion campaign with flyers and a seven-part show on Kaua 'i's com­munity radio station KKCR and lobbying Hawai 'i's Congressional delegation to put a stop to the sonar.

They've also organized volun­teers to watch for signs of distress or stranding among marine mam­mals and scheduled a "whales are crying" candlelight vigil on July 23 at Hanalei Bay.

The Navy, meanwhile, is defend­ing its use of sonar on the grounds that no conclusive evidence has been presented to confirm harm io sea creatures. NOAA has author­ized the sonar exercises so long as the Navy maintains "safety zones" around vessels using sonar, assigns sailors to watch for marine mam­mals entering the zones and "pow­ers down" the sonar when animals are spotted, among other mitigation measures.

~ - -- ' . \---,.- ~-) \. ' l

----*' . -,- ,-, -.---

"Our scientists believe these measures, if fully implemented, will avoid the potential for serious in­jury or mortality to marine mam­mals," says Bill Hogarth, NOAA Fisheries Service director.

Activists say the measures are in­adequate, and the sonar should be stopped. "It seems far too danger­ous to be doing this in waters fre­quented by marine mammals," says KKCR radio host Ann West.

The Navy, however, contends that sailors must engage in realistic training with active sonar, so they'll be ready for the real thing when it comes along-the very same ra­tionale cited to support live fire training on Kaho'olawe, O'ahu and the Big Island. The military branch also maintains that the technology is needed to protect the lives of U.S. forces and America's allies.

QUICKHn-5 When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade? Maybe it's time for the folks over at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs to adopt that phrase as their mott9. Following the recent fail­ure of the J\.kaka bill to win over the hearts an<,l minds of the U.S. Senate's bard-hearted and closed-minded Republicans, OHA has apparently decided that if the Busli-leaguers in D.C. won't allow the native Hawaiian people to form thcir own sovereign government, then OHA will do it on its own. Last week. the office announced that it has begun measures that would eventually lead to the creation. of a native Hawai­ian nation-and the end of OHA. The tentative release date of the Kingdom ofHawai'i 2.0 is 2008.

When word of OHA' s bold move hit the press, the Viking kitty-obsessed ditto heads at Free Republic were already de­nouncing the measure as a ·mov~ toward the secessiop of the state ofHawai'i from the Union, thereby demonstrating once again the far right' s inability-used so effectively by Sen. Bill Frist and his cohorts during tlle recent Akaka bill discus- · sions-to differentiate between residents of the state of Hawai 'i and native Hawaiians.

. to keep mainlanders from slipping into the state and snatch­ing jobs out of the hands of locals, "It makes no sense to keep well-qualified people from even applying for jobs when the state is hurting from long-standing vacancies for needt;d po­sitions ... " The ACLU claims that an estimated 450 state and local posts need to be filled like the potholes on the Pali Highway.

The state law requiring state jobs to be filled by state resi­dents and state residents alone is no more. Last week. feder­al Judge David Ezra ruled that the law was that most unsa­

. vory of legal ma~rs-it was unconstitutional. Lois Perrin, legal 4i,rector of the American Civil Liberti(!S Union of l:lawai'i had this to say about the law, which was designed ·

highway? Mayor says Honolulu is rea(ly to move forward with mass transit

C ity consultants presented a midpoint update on their study of mass transit options at Kapolei Hale

· on Saturday and Honolu­lu Hale on Monday. One more meet­ing is scheduled for tonight June 28 from 6-7:30PM at Aliamanu Middle School cafeteria in Salt Lake.

At the Kapolei meeting, poster boards and monitors displayed the alternatives. On the lower-capital-re­quirement end, there is the no-build option focused on an enhanced bus system. Another plan, the managed lane alternative-which would in­clude building two lanes reserved strictly for buses, high occupancy vehicles and toll-paying solo driv­ers-is more.costly than the previ­ous alternative. The most expensive project-and the largest~public­works-project-ever -undertaken-in­Hawai 'i-is a proposed $3 billion rail system.

After continuous community meetings and analysis of transporta­tion needs, costs, economic, social

ROLL CALL

- ,--_. ---. - ~-- -- ----- ---

and environmental impacts and rev­enue sources, the consultants of Par­sons Brinckerhoff have streamlined the choices. The rail plan now has specific route options (and mock-up views of what it would look like) in

. each segment of the 23-mile Kapolei-to-University-of-Hawai 'i­Manoa corridor. While some stops,

like the ones at Pearlridge Center and Aloha Stadium seem unobtru­sive, others, like the split guideway at Queen St. or the 60-foot platform looming over H-1 at University Ave. are more visually obstructive.

"I believe the majority of people on this side of the island want us to do some kind of mass transit system, and they want it now," said Mayor Mufi Hannemann, addressing the 70-plus residents who attended Sat­urday's meeting in Kapolei. Citing the success of rail systeU1s in other

. cities that were built "on time, on budget and on schedule," the mayor, who has made no secret about being a light-rail advocate, emphasized, "This is not just a traffic relief issue.

''

This is a quality-of-life issue." While there are no promises that a

rail system will reduce traffic in the long run, it will provide an alterna­tive. Mass transit proponents argue that an effective urban 1:ral).sportation system will discourage suburban sprawl as the island's population continues to increase. "Transporta­tion infrastructure is absolutely es­sential to make higher density living more attractive, and that's what we need to 'keep the country country,"' explained Parsons Brinckerhoff con­sultant David Atkin.

An update on the study's progress is viewable at www .honolulutran­sit.org. Rail opponents can visit www.honolulutraffic.com.

Honolulu City Council will vote on an option in December.

Last Thursday in a special session, the City Council passed a measure to provide a $5 million guarantee to the vendor that will upgrade the tax col­lectjon system to enable the state to begin collecting the half-percent transit tax beginning next January. State lawmakers neglected to appro­priate the $5 million during the past legislative session. Both Hannemann and members of the Lingle admin­istration are confident legislators will meet their obligation to do so, though some council members re­mained skeptical. "Hopefully, good sense, common sense and good gov­ernment will prevail," testified Attor­ney General Mark Bennett.

MEDIA WATCH Lee Cataluna knows a secret about the truth: It is often as ugly as a crystal meth fiend's front teeth. But the truth is the truth, and it has to be told. Cataluna knows this. You know this. Even Tim Ryan knows this.

Sometimes telling the truth can be a right dangerous affair. Angry; anonymous emails. Hyperventilat­ing, hate-filled letters to the editor. Seemingly ceaseless, endlessly re­lentless message-board floggings, the likes of which not even James Caviezel could endure without a party platter of Percocet and Per­codan.

But Cataluna has found a way to avoid the pain. She diverts. She entertains. She cracks wise. ·

. Although I've criticized Catalu- · na for a previous column on the homeless-perhaps unfairly­there has never been a doubt in my mind that she is hands-down the best columnist in town. Last week's column on the proposed rail system-and more important­ly the urbanization of Honolulu­showed Cataluna at her sarcastic best.

Instead of focusing strictly on the above-ground ugliness of the proposed rail system, with its high­rise tracks and sun-rise blocking concrete pillars, Cataluna turned her attention to the more positive, problem-solving aspects of the multi-billion dollar project. Her column titled "Rail bad? Just look at us now" begins: · "Maybe the kids will finally stop spray-paint­ing people's redwood fences. They'll have trains to adorn with graffiti instead, just like the big cities!'

The column continues: -"Street performers can move off crowded, steamy Waikiki sidewalks and

"If the Iraqi government grants amnesty to the killers of American troops, the shrinking base of Americans who support the president's policies will disappear completely." -Rep. Neil Abercrombie

on an Iraqi government

proposal

onto air-conditioned train cars. They'd have a captive audience rather than distracted tourists and annoyed shopkeepers."

Cataluna adds, "This could also affect the huge problem of Hon­olulu's homeless population taking over public beaches. They can spend the night riding the rails, just like in big Mainland cities. Gov­ernment has been.accused of just shuffi:ing the problem around from place to _place anyway. And people sleep like babies with the rocking of a railcar."

Cranky. Yes. Cruel. Just a little. _ Comedic gold. Absolutely. Forget all of those Monex ads on TV, people. Invest in 'cataluna.

By the end of the column, though, Cataluna gets serious. While the elevated tracks of the rail system are not the most aes­thetically pleasing addition to the Honolulu cityscape, the tracks the~selv~s will not destroy the beauty of this island paradise. As Cataluna herself says, 'The tropi­cal hideaway is pau ... So bring on the rail. Might as well. Not like anybody is going to de-crowd or . unurbanize Honolulu anyway.

CATHARINE LO

Ih~y £~~~p.ess of doing good Meet Song Choi. Oh, you already know him? The quick,witted, 34,year,old social chameleon runs in so many circles, the pulse of Honolulu would slow if he left. As H,town's animated prince of marketing and master of the 30,second elevator pitch, Choi's resume is impressively varied, from communications manager at The Contemporary Museum, to adjunct professor at Hawai'i Pacific University, to his current gig as di,

gathering led to the beginning of Envision Hawai'i, which held its second annual conference last week at Kapi'olani Community <;ollege with panel discussions on grant,writing, land use and political action. Among the speakers were 3 Point Consulting's James Koshiba, Sustain Hawai'i's Ramsay Taum and Sen. lnouye's chief of staff Jennifer Goto Sabas.

. rector of communications for Chipln, a local tech startup that, as a virtual calabash bowl of sorts, embraces the share,and,share,alike environment of Web2.0.

While he's the life of the party, Choi's also the per, son you rely on to save you a seat. Call it pyramid net, working or people leveraging-it's a talent typically reserved for bartenders and con men-but Song uses it for good and not for evil. So it isn't so surprising that the consummate scenester found himself on Kaho'olawe in 2003 with a handful of other young people committed to serving the public good. That

If yuppies were the prime movers in the '80s and dot,commers led Gen X through the '90s, then social entrepreneurs are the "it" segment of the new millen, nium. They're the ones who keep creating hope, seek, ing to empower communities that are disadvantaged or disregarded. What keeps them from shoving social responsibility aside? They're driven by social justice, which is inextricably tied to a love for humanity. Their decisions are swayed more by social benefit than dollar signs, and in the end, they care about peo, ple, not things. As a member of the steering commit, tee and a natural mover of the shakers, Choi talks to the Weekly about what's on their agenda.

OK, so tell me the truth. Is this Envision Hawai'i conference like a who's who of Hon­olulu's most eligible bachelors and bache­lorettes? Yes,' it's actually speed dating for social entre­preneurs. You sit down, and really quickly you're asked what's your cause, what's your sign, boom, move on, just like that. (Laughs.) What's your role?Are you the pimp? I'm, like, the chief operating pimp (laughs).

Nah, I'm on the steering committee. In the be­ginning when we first started getting all these people in public service together, we noticed a trend that people felt very isolated, fighting for their own personal causes but no real connec­tion to a larger industry.

It's easy to understand the appeal of ethanol · fuel in· a place like Hawai'i.

For starters, it's made from plants, · the kind that ;eadily grow here. It

can be used in our cars, though not advisedly in mixes of less than 90 percent gasoline. Ang it can gener­ate electricity in our power plants, which gobble up millions of barrels of imported crude oil annually.

Ethanol promises to help recap­ture everything that's eluded Hawai 'i since the missionaries ar­rived-self-sufficiency, communi­ty-based development,viable agri­culture. In short, keeping the jobs, kids and money at home. On top of all that, it's new, alternative, pro­gressive, green.

Political manna like this doesn't fall from the heave~s every day, and Gov. Linda Lingle, state lawmakers and even President George W. Bush have greeted ethanol-both the fuel itself and the companies that make it-with open hands and arms.

Federal and state tax credits have been approved for firms that produce the stuff, and a law was passed man­dating ethanol use in Hawai 'i's cars. Combined, the measures create the strong, steady demand needed to spur production and help ensure a continuous, hopefully cheap, supply. . With the stage thus set in the Is-

. lands, the dramatic play can now unfold. Will we end our tragic affair . with oil, terminate our unsavory. li­aisons with bloody Middle . East wars, ravaged landscapes, owne de­pletion, global warming? Will we take up with ethanol and live happi­ly ever after, amid green fields with high biomass content, instead?

Henry Curtis, executive director of Life of the Land (LOL), doesn't need to watch the whole show to is­sue his µidic~ent. H~'s seen ·the cast of characters before and fi~

. out lhe plot. if not lhe exact ending.

Ethanol's promises have been big. Has it failed to deliver? Bv JOAN coNRow

. "I think it's huge mulililational com­panies trying to figure out how they

. can bolster their bottom lines," he says. ·"It's not about protecting agri­culture or the environment, getting off oil or creating jobs."

Nor is he predicting that ethanol will ever play a starring, or even ma­jor, role in Hawai 'i's energy line-up: After all, it already bungled the opening act.

Although generous ethanol pro­duction tax credits were adopted. back in 2000, arid state lawmakers gave producers an 18-month heads- .

plant on O'ahu, has turned out to be pretty much just that.

Only one proposal-a plan by Maui Ethanol LLC to build a 12-million-gallon ethanol-for-gasoline plant powered by coal and molasses at Kaumakani, Kaua 'i-has entered the regulatory process. And it's not expected to be on line until 2008......:... if all goe~ according to plan.

Maui Ethanol, a subsidiary of Washington-based Pacific West En­ergy LLC, with William Maloney the president and chief executive of­ficer of both ventures, recently sub-

up before the E-10 unleaded pro-. gram, which mandates at least 85 .

percent of Island ga~oline contain 10 percent ethanol, was implement­ed this past April, Hawai 'i still has no local supply. All the ethanol .now added to the state's gasoline is im­ported-just like the oil that's re­fined into gas.

• When Lingle signed the E-10 un­leaded regulations back in Septem­ber 2004, she said the bill, coupled with $12 million in factory con­struction tax credits and a measure allowing the sale of bonds, would spur ethanol production and save hundreds of sugar jobs on Kaua 'i and Maui.

In her speech, Lingle cited studies that predicted Hawai 'i could pro­duce 90 million gallons of ethanol . within the next 18 months, building up,.ultimately, to perhaps as much as 400 million gallons per year.

The year-and-a-half time span she referenced has now passed. with no ethanol produced in the Islands .. Similarly, the initial flurry of talk about turning sugar cane into

. ethanol on Maui· and Kaila 'i, and · building an ethanol-powered electric

mitted an application for the coal­burning plant's air quality permit to the state Health Department.

That's where. the project caught the attention of Curtis, who lambast­ed it in a news release-sent out June I under the email heading "Hawai 'i Ethanol: Upsetting Facts" -that proclaims: "Ethanol Produc­tion is a Scam."

Reached later, Curtis was no less scathing. According to LOL's cal­culations, he notes, it will take 4.18 pounds of fuel to generate 1 gallon of ethanol. 'Toe idea of using fossil

· fuels to create renewable energy and then calling that green is kind of an oxymoron." ·

Maloney, contacted on his cellu­lar phone in Washington state, says he was a bit taken aback by Curtis' suse of the word "scam." Although he acknowledges that LOL based its c;omputations on data contained in Maui Ethanol's pe!lllit application, Maloney says the overall picture "is more complicated" than LOL's fig-ures suggest. ·

·''We p1.1t in an application for the boiler to be fired by coal because that's lhe worst case scenario," Mal-

oney explains. "It's really a coal­biomass plant. In the long run, we'll be using sugar cane to produce ethanol, and this is certainly what • we want to work tow.ard."

Currently, cane fields are burned after harvest to clear the land for re­planting. While some folks view this practice as "an environmental disaster," Maloney says, he sees it as "an energy disaster. All of that biomass is being wasted. We will be bringing in that [cane] trash and have that be the primary fuel for the processing plant."

When the boiler is burning sugar cane waste, Maloney says, "the en­ergy output will be seven to 1 l times what the inputs are"-a ratio considerably higher than is typically achieved . through the standard process of turning com into ethanol.

Until then, Maloney says that Maui Ethanol plans to use coal and sugar syrups to power the plant, "and not much molasses, or for very long." That's partly because the project was originally designed for Maui's HC&S sugar plantation, which produces substantial more molasses than Kaua'i. But when HC&S '·'decided, for whatever rea- . sons," Maloney says, "to step back and evaluate all its options," the plans were shifted to the Garden Is­land, where Gay & Robinson Sugar Co. was willing to be a partner.

G&R doesn't have a lot of mo­lasses, but it can provide enough sugar syrups to generate half the plant's production ·capacity, Mal­oney says, "so we may need to move Maui molasses over for a short period of tiine until we can produce more biomass."

In the meantime, G&R will be ex­panding its sugar cane plantings, bringing some of the Westside lands abandoned when Kekaha Sugar Co. quit business back into production, Maloney says. And Maui Ethanol will be buying new machines and implementing new harvesting tech­niques "to bring in more biomass from the fields."

"The overall project involves a lot more than just the ethanol plant," Maloney says, noting that

G&R can even use the vinasse-a smelly byproduct of ethanol pro­duction-as a high potassium fertil­izer on its fields.

'That's what I see as the real pos­itive of this project: revitalizing the agricultural sector using the bio­mass and having a captive feed stock [fuel that feeds the boiler]," Maloney says.

"Instead of buying the com and producing the ethanol, like every­body else does, we're going to grow the sugar cane until we know what our costs are," he continues. "We · control our feed stocks and that's a big strength of this project."

Maui Ethanol also plans to "work with the sugar industry to produce a higher-end product"-a top grade table sugar that can be lucratively marketed as a Hawai 'i-made food­or help keep the plantations solvent, Maloney says.

Of course, that's looking down the road a piece. Although the tim­ing Qf the project is "permit depend­ent," Maloney hopes to be produc­ing ethanol within a year of receiv­ing a building permit. "Right now, we' re doing all the preliminary en­gineering and permit work and try­ing to finalize all the documents and financing for the project"

He estimates the project will re­quire a capital investment of about $50 million; Maloney, his family and a small group of private in­vestors will be putting up the dough, with G&R reportedly kick­ing in other contributions associat­ed with sugar production. (G&R President and General Manager Alan Kennett did not return calls seeking comment.)

The project will also take advan­tage of state and federal tax credits, Maloney acknowledges. Under Hawai'i law, manufacturers that produce between 500,000 and 1 mil­lion gallons of ethanol will receive a non-refundable 30 percent invest­ment tax credit, or $150,000, whichever is less. The credit in­creases for bigger manufacturers, capping at 30 percent, or $4.5 mil­lion dollars, for companies that pro­duce more than 15 million gallons per year. The state credits run for a maximum of eight years.

Ufeof the Land's Henry Curtis

The federal small producer tax credit kicks in when the plant actu­ally begins making ethanol, provid­ing a credit of 10 cents per gallon of ethanol produced. Combined, they total about $4.8 million annually for Maloney's project, if it's producing at full capacity.

Maloney thinks 2008 is a likely start-up date for the plant, but he's looking 18 months beyond that, to the time when sugar cane is the feedstock. At that point, he says, the

HawaiJi's lofty dreams for ethanol are outlined on a website www.new·fue .com, crealed by the state Department of Business, Economic Develop_ment and Tourism and the High Technology Development Corporation. It declares: "The State of Hawaii recognizes that: • Ethanol can reduce our dependence on import­

ed fossil fuels and reduce the impact of oil price increases or potential supply disruptions.

• Cost effective, reliable fuel supplies are essen­tial to our economy.

• Local production of ethanol can be cost-effec­tive, while providing support for our agricultur­al sector.

• Ethanol can be produced from many locally­available feedstocks, including molasses, food waste, yard and wood waste."

plant will be producing its 12 mil­lion gallons of ethanol and enough steam and electricity to run itself and G&R's sugar mill, while still re­turning 140 kilowatts of electricity to Kaua 'i's grid.

He is certain it will all work out as planned "because we're basing it on the Brazil model. This is what they're already doing in Brazil."

Curtis isn't reassured by such as­surances; indeed, they depress him further. ''Brazil is often touted as the model of ethanol, but they have lax labor and environmental laws, and only a very small percentage of the population owns land," he says.

What's more, "two-thirds of the ethanol business in Brazil is owned by multinational corporations, like Cargill, Syngenta and Monsanto," Curtis says.

These are the very companies that are behind genetically engineered (GE) agriculture -with com, the most common source of American ethanol, one of the biggest GE crops.

Curtis recalls attending a biotech conference in Honolulu last January, where "they were talking about this huge push to genetically engineer crops to increase the amount of product that can be converted to ethanol, and GE microorganisms to make it easier to break down the crops. You see the same players in both [industries].

"For the big corporations, it's all about the bottom line," he says. "And for the state, it all comes down to creating an atmosphere in Hawai 'i that shows we 're open for business." •

Clubs The naked DJ

The first rule of sex: Think you're sexy. Really sexy. People will believe you. Rule No. 2: Don't

take yourself-or the sex-too seri­ously. That ruins it.

Electroclash DJ, Mount Sims aka Matt Sims knows the game and is the reigning champ. Like Beck, he does­n't take himself too seriously, and like Prince, he takes himself a bit too se­riously-a winning combination. How could it not be? A little humor, a little mmm ... mmm ... good over the mean mixes of his electrosexy beats.

Yep, Sims knows what he's doing and he's doin' it and J:loin' it and doin' it well. He brings his multi­faceted performance style to Next Door tonight for a show that, ~ell, might get the audience going, if you know what we mean.

Known for his fondness for public nudity (though we're not promising anything), his devotion to the teach­ings of Eros and his penchant for fushion and glamour, Sims may seem like he's the prototype for Ali Gs Bruno, but he knows when to unpack the humor and he does, which takes his audience on a we' re-so-sexy-we' re­funny trip that we're willing to bet makes Fischerspooner jealous.

Historians estimate that more than 200,000 women in South East Asia-1,000 of them Filipina-were kidnapped and imprisoned by Japanese soldiers during WWII to act as comfort women or military sex slaves. After 50 years of silence, at least 173 Filip­ina women have stepped forward in the last IO years to demand the Japanese government take responsi­bility for its army's actions.

Galang is the recipient of numerous literary awards, including the Push­cart Prize for her collection of short stories, Her Wild American Self.

Comedy Slack off

if this generation needs any more slackers. From the people

ho graciously brought us the Blue Collar Comedy guys, comes the next wave of losers: The Slackers.

Reno Collier, Pat Dixon and James Johann are of that out-and-proud white-trash genre of pop culture, only instead of taking themselves too seri­ously (think Kid Rock and Eminem) they think their intolerance is funny. And, funny thing is, they can make the audience agree with them.

The Slackers aren't Comic Relief, but they just might be the white peo­ple's Eddie Murphy.

The guys bring their tag-team stand up to Pipeline Cafe this week­end for three shows.

Expect lots of jokes about beer (and, of course, the accounts of what happens when people who.wear jeans and flannel get drunk), women (that is, their annoying balls and chains) and the enigma that is hip-hop.

Drinking on stage WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO HAVE a living room with a live band, dart­board, pool tables, big screen TVs and a full bar? Dave Young has

· one, and he loves house guests. It's called OnStage Drinks & Grinds, where you can chill out 'til you pass out any night of the week.

Your friendly host Dave Young delivers a passionate performance with his own DYB Band, playing music reminiscent of bass-boom­ing '70s rock bands-think Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Other local bands are hired by Young to grace the OnStage stage, playing every true musical style (in other words no island contemporary). Hooray for Dave! The DYB Band plays the best covers from the '70s plus their own inspiring originals, which, on a recent Saturday, prompted

OnStage Drinks & Grinds

. 802 KapahuluAve., 306-7799

Getting in: through front door Soundtrack: ''Werewolves of London,'' ''Wrapped Around Your Finger," Dave Young originals Dress code: shirt, shoes, slip­pahs fine Sightings: Guy Cnu:, Marcus from Micronesia Signature drink: 2050, $5

the normally shy Marcus from Mi­cronesia to ask my girlfriend to dance, to "show the band our ap­preciation." She politely declined, "I think they know already. We yelled 'hana hou.'" It was all good . Marcus promptly joined the table and bought us a couple of rounds. Hooray for Marcus!

Play a game of pool, and no matter who wins, you've won yourself a new hoa aloha. Like I -did. My new fast friend Elika gave me the standard Hawaiian hand­shake after I .squeaked out a victo­ry, and wanted to challenge me again.

If you're in an anti-social mood, there's a Megatouch at the bar, or three TVs to zombify you while you sample from the Maria Bonita"menu (the club worked out a part­nership with the restaurant). When there's no live music (generally Sunday, Mondi,iy, Wednesday and Thursday), karaoke and jukebox music are chock full of dance and sing-along tunes, be it "Play That

.funky Music White Boy," "Mambo No. 5" or Patsy Cline's "Crazy." Tuesday is open mic night. Too shy? Nuke your inhibitions with

the bar's banana flavored fireball, the 2050, a mix of Bacardi 151, Jose Cuervo 1800 and99 Bananas. After just one shot, I grabbed the nearest violin and jumped on stage. i was fantastic ( or so it seemed to me).

On the OnStage wall, a sampling of Young's record collection (we spotted the American Graffiti soundtrack, Steely Dan's Countdown to Ecstasy and Paul McCartney's Tug of War) gives the bar a vintage aura. Show up on the right night and you might score a cover as a prize.

Two out of three times, street parking is no problem. On busy nights, Date Street is not too far. -Kevin Craven

Got 10 bucks? You're good to go.

Sawbuck summer KAWEHI HAUG

S ummertime and the liv­ing is ... mostly way too

• expensive. Nine-dollar martinis, $18 cover charges and $35 for a

tank of gas make you want to stay home and hang out with TiVo-but we aren't going to give in that easi­ly. We did some checking around and found out that it's possible to get soused, get full or get crazy (though not all at once-let's be re­alistic) for $IO-even in this spendy city.

EAT SUSHI KING 2700 S. King St., 947-2836 It's midnight and you're starving­and broke. A Zip Pack is too, well, Zippy's and Sorabol is too expen­sive. For good, fresh food that won't burn your bank account, go to Sushi King. After 10:30PM, the ultra-pop­ular sushi joint offers its jumbo plates for $8.25. Get salmon katsu, yakitori chicken, shoyu eel or shrimp and veggie tempura with miso soup, salad, rice and three pieces of sushi of your choice and leave full. Order take out and skip the tip. Bonus: The King also serves its cheap fare for lunch and has dai­ly early bird specials. And it's open until 2AM every day except Tues­day.

EASTSIDE GRILL 1035 University Ave., 952-6555 We know the very cheap Magoo's is right next door, but we think you should skip the college-kid circus in favor of its low-key neighbor-who happens to make a mean burger. For $7, get the bar's signature Da Mas­sive Eastside that comes stacked with bacon, mushrooms, onion rings and cheese. Ask them to tune a television to the World Cup and cheer on Brazil. Or Germany. Or Argentina. Bonus: Sunday nights, buy a $7-

pitcher of Blue Moon and listen to live blues music.

LA MARIANA RESTAURANT AND BAR 50 Sand Island Access Rd., 848-2800 If health isn't a factor ( and how can it be when you're on a $10 budget?), get yourself down to La Mariana for a pile of fries and onion rings and a couple of cheap drinks. The tucked-away joint is like a tiki-kistch dream, com-plete with col-orful lights, Samoan princess chairs (you know the ones) and a parrot to greet you at the door. Who knew this ex -isted outside of W aikikI? Two of us ordered a beer, a gin and tonic, a massive plate of fries and a pile of onion rings. The tab: $12.27.

Next stop: Sand Island. Bonus: There's a blind piano man who plays jazz classics from 6-9PM.

Drink WAHOO'S FISH TACO Ward Gateway Center, 970AuahiSt., 591-1646 Gringofied Mexican food and Miller beer? Awesome! Not feeling it? For a buck a beer, you should be. Team Miller of hosts Wahoo's Wednesday, a short but sweet party where, for 60 minutes, you're al­lowed your cheap thrills. From 5:30-6:30PM on hump day, eat $2 tacos, drink like you mean it and be home in time for South Park. Bonus: Team Miller likes to give away free stuff at its parties.

SMITH'S UNION BAR 19 N. Hotel St., 538-9145 Honolulu's oldest bar is also one of its cheapest. Its bottled Buds are al­ways $2-happy hours be damned. And the classic dive ambiance is priceless. Bonus: It's open until 6AM.

VINO Restaurant Row, 524-8466 Who says cheap has to be cheap? At Vino you can drink good wine and pretend like you don't have an ice­box full of Milwaukee's Best. (Caveat: You won't get wasted. Sor­ry.) Flight tasting-2-ounce sampley, of various wines-is the way to go -here. Individual pours start at $2.50. We suggest ordering a three-flight

sampler for $8.95. The staff picks the wines,

you drink them. Bonus: The

staff

is more than happy to give you an education while you sip. Listen, ask questions and learn. Who knows? Knowing that Falanghina is an off-beat, an­cient Italian grape that was once highly prized by Romans and Sam­nites, might come in handy one day.

SHOKUDO JAPANESE RESTAURANT AND BAR Ala Moana Pacific Center, 941-3701 1585 Kapi'olani Blvd., ground floor Sake baby! Better yet, cheap sake.

mmfflseIE MEDICAL MARIJUANA OF HAWAII

Hawan SB 862 Department of Public Safety HRS SectJOn 329-123

'' '''

'! I

Get Shokudo's $8 sampler with tast­ing flights of Moonstone sake in Asian pear, peach and raspberry fla­vors. Bonus: Try a glass of Koshihikari Echigo beer, micro-brewed and irn-

. ported from Niigata, Japan's rice­growing capital, for $7.50.

Do SHOWDOWN IN CHINATOWN thirtyninehotel 39. N. Hotel St. www.thirtyninehotel.com Every third Saturday, thirtynineho­tel hosts Showdown in Chinatown, a mini amateur film fest of sorts that's the result of a 24-hour filming blitz. The Friday night before the showdown, participants are sent, via text message, that month's theme as well as two objects that must appear

in the film (example: secret society, mirrors, keys). Filmmakers then have 24 hours to

shoot and edit their films. The completed

films are shown Saturday night at

11PM. Though it costs $20 to sub­mit a film, it only costs $5 to

watch the submis­sions. Get

in cheap and stay all

night-after the film

Sh OW­

ease, the place turns

into a low-key

jazz party with the

Newjass Quartet that's

worth way · more than $5.

Bonus: Rumor has it, film pros from Lost sometimes participate. .

SOUL FREE Next Door 43 N. Hotel Street 543-NEXI; www.whoisnextdoor.com Lucky for us, Next Door has one of the longest happy hours in town with $3 beers and well drinks from 5-9PM every night. Go for cheap drinks on Thursday and stay for Soul Free, the joint's weekly installment of chill is­land sounds with local and import roots and reggae performances. The

place goes off on Thursdays and there's no cover before 10PM. This week, local band THC will keep the place skanking until closing time. Bonus: You might get irie by acci­dent.

LATE NIGHT I TllE EARL ERNST LAB 111EA1RE University of Hawai 'i 956-7655; www.hawaii.edu/kennedyl Go see a late-night off-beat play at University of Hawai'i's Kennedy Theatre's Earl Ernst Lab Theatre. Sure, it's not the Ahmanson, and there's a good chance you' 11 see some gratuitous nudity, but this is college theater we're talking about. For $10 ($4 for. students) settle into the small theater and see what the drama students are up to. Check the website for upcoming shows. Bonus: The university's equivalent of a bar, Manoa Garden, is close by. Stop in for cheap beer and grinds sans crowd.

CHEAP SKATE AT ICE PALACE 4510 Salt Lake Blvd., 487-9921 icepalacehawaii.com Hold on. Before you turn your too­cool-to-do-sports-reserved-for­girly-guys-and-too-girly-girls nose up at us, at least let us try to con­vince you. Here's tht; formula: Get a group of friends together (we suggest inviting the ones who like to bowl and who really liked Napoleon Dynamite-they're per­fect for this). Drink a few bottles of cheap whatever and get happy-re­ally happy. Pay $7 bucks for access to the ice on Wednesday and Thursday from 7-9PM. Watch the drunks (and.the real skaters) make asses of themselves while partner skating to bad '80s ballads (think "Hungry Eyes"). Seriously. That's potentially the most fun you'll have this summer-two hours of good, clean jackass fun. Bonus: It's cold in there.

TllE CONTEMPORARY MUSEUM 2411 Ma/did Heights Drive, 526-1312; www.tcmhi.org Get into the state's only museum de­voted to contemporary art for free on the third Thursday of the month. Take a day off and spend it with Andy Warhol and Josef Albers. You'll be back down the mountain by 4:30PM-just in time for cheap, drinks at your favorite happy hour spot. Bonus: The cool Makiki Heights location is the perfect respite from the summer heat. •

'Wild Hawaiian INTERVIEW BY CATHARIN( LO •

If there's anything that more than 30 years of performing has taught Henry Kapono, it's how to get his audience moving, whatever audience that may be. Through his confident voice and charismatic personality, the Hawaiian singer,songwriter effortlessly injects into his listeners the peaceful; easy feeling that he celebrates in hio songs. That talent earned him the Na Hoku Hanehano Award for male vocalist of the year in 1983, one of nine Hokus he has collected over the years. . ·

On June 21, Kapono takes his solo career, which began 25 years ago (after a successful eight years and eight albums with Cecilio in the '70s), to yet another level with the de, but of his first all,Hawaiian album The Wild Hawaiian. (Watch out, Barefoot Natives!) The album (featuring his original graphic artwork) includes classics like "Na Ali'i," "Hi'ilawe" and "Ke Aloha O Ka Haku" as well as songs l<;:apono wrote about his love for his family and Hawaiian culture. He fuses the Hawaiian lyrics with funk grooves and riffs more daring than those in his previous· 12 albums, even picking up the electric gui, tar in a few tracks. Kapono sits down after another timeless gig at Duke's to tell us about how his musical journey went from Margaritaville· and Montego Bay all the way home to Hawai'i.

So here we are at Duke's and you bring the same vibe here as you did 13 years ago. Duke's wouldn't be the same without you. I mean, Henry Kapono at Duke's on Sunday has become such a Waik'iki' institution that you even wrote a song about it and recorded a live

• album here. What keeps you coming back?

feel. Basically, it starts out with "Na Ali 'i," and "Na Ali 'i" is about paying respect to our past, paying respect to our kings and queens, our ancestors, our kupuna. And the last song is "Queen's Prayer," and that to me is what ties the whole thing up. If you read the lyrics; my inter­pretation is that Queen Lili 'uokalani was saying, ''You know, it happened. But you know we gotta let it go and move on; otherwise we'll never go forward." Once I re­ally played ~at song and got to understand it, what I was doing made sense. What I was doing was not what I was trying to do-there was something that was driv­ing me to do it. I feel like I've been driven for a reason, ·and I don't know exactly what it means, but I know it's to help people to move forward and help people enjoy life.

It's been amazing. It's pretty easy. You got Waikild in the background, you got guys surfing, Diamond Head, the palm trees. It's like the happiest place in the world.

· For me it's like going surfing. You go surfing to have a · .good time. You catch a great wave and you want to

come b!lck again. It's a good ride . .

OK, let's talk about your new album 7be Wild Hawai­ian. H's your first all-Hawaiian recording, it's set to classic rock and funk grooves and you even play elec­tric on it, right? Can you talk about how you created this fusion and how the album came to be? . .

Actually, I don't think I came lip with it. I think it came up with me! I just happened to be in the way .. .It took a little while. I didn't want to make a Hawaiian album un­til I had a good understanding about Hawaiian-I'm pure Hawaiian, but I don't speak it. I really wanted to do something interesting although I didn't know what it was. As I kept going at it and trying different things, it eventually started to come, and everything fell into· place. It was like finding a new home, a new·paradise. That's how it's been-I've never had a project that I'm so personally connected with and so obsessed with. I'm driving my wife crazy because I think about it all the time (laughs);

Even after 12 albums? This is actually the first recording I play e:very day. I lis­ten to it every day. I love it. That's never happened be­fore. Usually I make a record and.I put it away.

A lot of what we recognize as signature Henry . Kapono are feel-good ballads with simple, honest compositions influenced by the likes of Bob Martey, Eric Clapton and the Eagles. What kind of stories do you 11111 CNI The Wld llawarfl I think the n~w album developed into the story of n:tY life-me as a Hawiu.ian person. I've watched and lis­tened and~ a lot about the Hawaiian situation ... !

.. . s~ to develop ~y own. consciousness .abQut how I

I'

''

What will help people move forward? It's about what we should be doing now. We should be role models for our children and building a new future that's whatever we wantit to be. We have the power to do that, and we should just go out and do it. We don't have to get in anybody's way, and we don't have to push anybody out of the wa:Y. We just have to do it. ·

Can you tell us a little about your band for 1J,e Wild Hawaiian tour? I heard Kealoha will accompany you for the shows? . . All of these guys have such a great talent. And togeth­er they have an understanding about me and this proj­ect. They're really connected to it. Kealoha came out of nowhere, and he just ties everything rip .and brought it to another level where it's becoming something real, and he's trying to help me to get people to understand it. And then you have Intrepid and Hi-Frequency dancers, and they're 'going to interpret the music. Three things I wanted to accomplish with this album: First, I want to make people dance. '{hen I want to make them sing--'-:"'simple choruses like "ea, ea." And then when t;hey do that-the third thing- I want them to go· out and go, "Cool man, I want to know more about the culture." ·

Questions & Answers About Our Environment

North America, industrial beef, pig and poultry farming is a big unsani­tary business, and antibiotics are used extensively to ward off diseases and also for non-medical reasons, such as to promote growth. In fact, the Union of Concerned Scientists {UCS), a non-profit research and ad­vocacy group, estimates that some 70 percent of all antibiotics are used as additives in the feed given to healthy pigs, poultry and cattle. These drugs leave the animals' bodies as waste and work their way into local water supplies, as well as right into the food chain. "Nonetheless;'. says UCS, "agribusiness and the phar­maceutical industry are fighting hard to thwart restrictions on the use of antibiotics in agriculture."

In the rousing and ultimately poignant Superman Returns, the iconic superhero arrives on Earth after a five-year ab­sence. Lois Lane has a new

boyfriend and a son who is coinci­dentally the same age as the Man of Steel's length of nonattendance. Lex Luthor is out of jail and planning real estate evil, as usual. And the rest of the world ... It has learned to embrace tragedy; shades of our G. Dubya ti.mes are alluded to when Clark Kent flips through news sta­tions on TV depicting reports of war and terrorism.

Ex-X-Men director Bryan Singer posits a fascinating take for the first Superman film in almost two decades: Does the world need a sav­ior? And what happens when old boyfriends come back? The an­swers, respectively, are a resounding yes and a whole lot of longing and resentment as demonstrated in the movie's best scene: Lois interviews her favorite assignment on the Dai­ly Pla,net's rooftop and again takes a romantic, nostalgic night flight.

Newcomer Brandon Routh, play­ing our definitive hero, is a charm­ing discovery. As mild-mannered Kent, he bumbles, stutters and sounds freakishly like the late Christopher Reeve. As the Last Son of Krypton himself, Routh manages to command majesty, awe and even­tually, ache and sympathy, astound-

Kate Bosworth is surprisingly ballsy as reporter Lois Lane, although even with dyed brunette hair and a no-smiling atti­tude, she still appears so young that her character must've won the Pulitzer for her article "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman" while in English 100. Underused but also effective is the hilarious Parker Posey as Luthor's moll and the frag-

ile, worry-fraught Eva Marie Saint as Clark's mother.

Everything is treated with a glow­ing reverence-perhaps a touch too reverential to the Richard Donner 1978 classic-but when the movie switches gears to the shrewd love quadrangle with Lois, Richard (her boyfriend), Clark and, well, Super­man, the film's heart is on its ap­pealingly modem emo sleeve. Cou­ple that with a thrilling, CGI-virtu­oso crashing plane sequence and an exhilarating slo-mo, bulletproof su­per-eyeball scene, and you've got the perfect summer popcomer.

Is this the Superman movie we've waited 20 years for? Sort of. The Superman universe is a geek's gold-

. mine with mythologies involving such varied and cinematically un­tapped personalities like Brainiac, Bizarro, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Metallo, Doomsday ... You can just feel the movie setting itself up for some­thing wild and even greater in the sequel, much like how Singer didn't cut loose with the X-Men folklore until the second film. But then arm­chair blockbuster speculating is part of the season's fun. •

Postcards from hell

BOB GREEN

There they stand, our two veteran stars: Sandra Bullock, now a powerful producer, and Keanu Reeves,

one of the three or four richest stars in Hollywood, together again for the first time. Both in their 40s, but still able to play young romantics, the two-pummeled into shape-look like nothing so much now but movie stars, bred on a specialty ranch, like minks. But as gorgeous as they are (except in one or two unfortunate close-ups) the two generate no chemistry, no heat, as would-be lovers separated by time, about which more later. This is the most tepid love pairing since Jodie Foster and Richard Gere in Somersby, and for some of the same reasons.

planes of time (2004 and 2006)­too busy, rife with realistic, if over­acted family shenanigans.

This kind of fantasy and this kind of realism don't mix, and we end up believing neither one. The story re­mains a film project for two stars who, here, are just not up to speed.

Bullock seems glum, even siillen, and Reeves gives one of his light­weight performapces, looking a lit­tle dim-witted.

Here's the deal. Both have the same house-built over the water on stilts; but a wrinkle in time is in effect, and the two have a picture­postcardy romance, separated by time but able to write each other. (But not phone, of course.) If you're curious, wait until 50-cent day at Restaurant Row, or maybe dollar­day at the DVD emporium. Med­icate yourself thoroughly: This weepy misfire needs all the help it can get.

The Omen, another remake, this time from 1976, suffers from bad casting-and the fact that movie gore has become a lot gorier in the last 30 years. A married couple­Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles­adopt an orphaned baby after theirs is still born, and the kid turns out to be the anti-Christ.

. Queen (Wilson) is taught a human lesson by _the town's inhabitants be­fore the predictable ending clicks in. The lessons entombed here are true enough, but they're not dramatized,

. only asserted smugly. Don't get me wrong: The anima­

tion is wonderful, some of the mo;vie mildly funny, and some of the performances (Paul Newman, George Carlin, Bonnie Hunt) right on target.

But for a project perhaps too close to. the heart of co-director John Las­seter, Cars runs off the road too many times, stuffed too full of mate­rial that detracts from the (pat) story.

There's just too much here. And too much is enough of anything. Better luck next time, Pixar/ Disney. · •

My 11-year-old neighbor said her favorite dishes were the Spicy Lemon Grass Chicken (Com Ga Xao Xa Ot, $6.50) and the Tofu Veggie Stir Fry (Bun Dau Hu Xao Rau Cai, $6.25). These dishes were also the simplest in flavor. The lemon grass in the chicken was completely undetectable, but the carmelized onions paired well with the tender poultry. The veggie and tofu sauteed in garlic and butter tast­ed more Italian than Vietnamese, but the flavors were satisfying and straightforward.

Prices average around $6.50, and nothing on the menu costs more than the Seafood Fried Rice priced at $7.95. Some of the best family­owned restaurants provide simple comfort food prepared by a passion­ate cook who likes to treat cus­tomers as kin. Tran's is not that kind of place. Still, if you're looking for a completely unpretentious setting where you can be yourself or where you can take the kids, you might consider Trari's Cafe. You won't pay a 1qt of money. You'll be left alone, and everyone.at the table will find one or two things to enjoy. •

Antonio's New York Pizze­ria 4210 Wai'alaeAve across from Kahala Mall (737-3333). Tue-Sat J.J:30AM-8:30PM, · Sun noon-7:30PM. Medium cheese pizza: $11.80. ?hilly cheese steak: $6.99. You can't get a slice at Antonio's, but it's still the closest you'll get to a Brook­lyn pizza joint. This is also where you'll find the closest thing to a South Philly cheesesteak, sliced prime beef on cus­tom-made rolls. No sleep till Kabala!

Baja Tacos 3040 Wai'alae Ave at St Louis Hts Dr (737-5893). Daily 11AM-8PM. Two soft tacos: $3.75. Combo plates: $6.25-$7.25. Cash only. Roosevelt grads Tracy and Winston Gabrile's new spot may be a taco stand, but it uses restaurant-quality ingredi­ents-ribeye for the came asada and center cuts of pork chops for the adoba­da. Winston learned how to cook Mexi­can while working in Ensanada, Baja California. Grab and go or BYOB and take a seat in the tiny dining area.

Hiroshi Eurasion Tapas Restaurant Row, 500 Ala Moana Blvd at South St (533-4476). Nightly 5:30-9:30PM. Dishes: $6.75-$21.95. AmEx, MC, V. Hiroshi could pitch a tent in Mapuna­puna and his fans would come. Not a tapas restaurant at all, Hiroshi is where the chef continues his seamless melding of global flavors with a heavy Japanese accent. You can eat tapas style, ordering an assortment of small plates or go the usual starter-entree-dessert route. There are no false moves on the menu-kam­pachi carpaccio, braised veal cheeks, salmon chazuke-it' s all good.

In 1976, Hokule'a, the first voyaging canoe to be built in Hawai'i in more than 600 years, made her triumphant maiden voyage to Tahiti, bringing back pride and dignity to the Hawaiian people and all who love what makes Hawai'i special.

Service your lips or your hips at Osake Sushi Bar and Sake Lounge. Occupying the old Blue Tropix location, the club for young sophisticates has been de-ghet­toized and filled with well-appointed lounge furniture. It's not the most con­ventional place to eat, but that isn't to say they don't serve quality sushi and excel­lent sashimi. They do. Sushi rolls like the Candy Cane Roll, a serviceable Califor­nia roll topped with red ahi and white ilea, are inventive, and the uni is first-rate.

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

tence reduced to life without parole.

0 pe .By Cecil Adams

Robert Durst, another real estate heir, acquitted of the 2001 murder of an elderly drifter in Texas.

And many more. Prosecutors of­ten don't even pursue the death penalty against the rich-think O.J. Simpson, Robert Blake, Phil Spec­tor and John du Pont (ofilie chemi­cal du Ponts). You needn't hire a Johnnie Cochran or a Clarence Dar­row to get the treatment. An analysis of Georgia cases showed that prose­cutors were almost twice as likely to ask for the death penalty when the defendant couldn't afford a lawyer. Nationwide an estimated 90-plus percent of those arrested for capital crimes are too poor to retain experi­enced private counsel. In Kentucky, a quarter of death row inmates were defended by lawyers who were later disbarred (or resigned to avoid dis­barment); other states are similar. A few states have offices dedicated to

W'hen I'm feeling cyni­cal about well-publi­cized criminal trials, I sometimes use the timeworn phrase

"they've never hung a millionaire in the U.S." Certainly I can't think ·of one. But i~ it true?

-Ti.mothy G. Merker, Chicago

If the expression "You simply cannot hang a millionaire in America," attributed to politi­cian and orator William Bourke Cockran (1854-1923), is time­

worn, Tim, it's not from overuse­Google turns up a big four hits. That tells you something about U.S. atti­tudes right there, because the fact is, while a few millionaires have gone to the gallows (chair, whatever), we haven't hanged many. Let's count:

Labor racketeer Louis "Lepke" Buchalter made millions in the 1920s and '30s. Under investigation for extortion and murder, Lepke­head of the notorious organized­crime hit squad nicknamed Murder, Inc.-waged a "war of extermina­tion" against potential informants. Dozens died, but the scorched-earth policy backfired, encouraging tar­gets to take their chances with the

~

law; one witness at Buchalter's eventual murder trial in 1941 agreed to testify only after being shot in the head on Buchalter's instructions. Buchalter was convicted despite spending an estimated quarter mil­lion on his defense. He appealed as far as the U.S. Supreme Court but was finally electrocut<,d in 1944. That's one.

Perhaps other executed crime bosses were millionaires. One can­didate is drug kingpin Juan Garza, exact worth unknown, executed by the feds in 2001 for murder. Call that two.

After that pickings are slim. Dr. John Webster was a professor at the Massachusetts Medical College. Not a millionaire strictly speaking, Webster inherited $50,000 (today worth about a million) but had squandered it by 1849, when a cred­itor came to collect a debt and the strapped Webster killed, dismem­bered and partially cremated him. Still, he had rich friends wh9 pledged $2,000 for his defense. Dis­claiming all knowledge of the body parts found in his laboratory, how­ever, Webster could find no lawyer to defend him, and lus appointed at­torneys couldn't save him. He con­fessed before he was hanged.

Philip Spencer, son of the secre­tary of war, was acting midshipman on the U.S. brig-of-war Somers when accused of fomenting mutiny in 1842. Commander Alexander Mackenzie, fearing more crewmen would turn mutinous and having no place to securely hold them, hanged Spencer, only 18, and two others at sea without a legitimate trial. Though probably not a millionaire in 1842 dollars, Secretary Spencer could have mounted a defense for his son worthy of O .J. Because the hangings were extralegal, Macken­zie was later court-martialed for murder but got off with a verdict of "not proved," possibly because he had influential supporters of his own-his brother had recently been elected to Congress.

In 1780 Americans captured Benedict Arnold's British handler, Major John Andre. He wasn't a mil­lionaire, but his father had been, ad­justing for inflation. Andre, not con­sidering himself a spy, voluntarily testified without counsel before a board of officers. Conclusion: Spy.

Recommendation: Death. The British spurned a proposed Andre­Arnold exchange, and the major hanged.

So the tally is one or two crime bosses anti a few long-ago toffs lacking funds. You say the rich don't commit murders as often? True, but even a partial list of well-off, well­connected defendants who could have hanged but didn't is impres­sive:

Congressman Dan Sickles, found tempQrarily insane in the 1859 killing of his wife's lover.

Harry K. Thaw, son of a railroad baron, found insane in the 1906 slaying of architect Stanford White.

Wealthy college students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb; pleaded guilty to the 1924 thrill killing of a boy in Chicago and imprisoned but spared the noose.

Texas oilman T. Cullen Davis, ac~ quitted of the 1976 murder of his es­tranged wife's daughter.

Real estate heir Thomas Capano, convicted of the 1996 murder of his girlfriend in Delaware; death sen-

• providing a proper defense for cap­ital defendants, but a Texas jurist summed up the attitude elsewhere: "The Constitution does not say that the lawyer has to be awake." So is it cynical to oppose the death penalty on such grounds? Nah. Just realistic.

JLOGV by Rob Brezsny II> it® ,., ~

(March 21-April 19) A Malaysian woman survived a showdown with a tiger. Kaliyama was working as a rubber tap­per when the big cal slinked up behind her and wrapped its jaws around her leg. "Amma! Amma!" she cried out, invoking the name of the mother goddess. The tiger let go, backed off a step and glared al her. Summoning her courage, she gazed back at it. After a few llllll­utes of this staring match, the tiger departed, leaving Kaliyama in peace. I advise you to use a similar approach in your engagement with a beastly influence, Aries. Ask for the goddess's help, then let your essence beam out through the windows to your soul.

rnu~m (April 20-May 20) 1n the game known as Rock Paper Scissors, each player pumps a fist twice and then dis­plays his or her hand in one of three different shapes: flat to indicate a piece of paper, a fist to symbolize rock or index finger and middle finger extended for scissors. Each of the three can beat just one of the other two. Scissors

· cuts paper, paper covers rock and rock smashes scissors. For centuries in many cul­tures, this game has been used by pairs of people to settle small decisions, such as who will wash the dishes this time or who will run to the store to get beer. Though it's not usually invoked to determine matters of great impor­tance, you might consider bucking tradition this week. It may be impossible to solve knot­ty questions througl1 common sense and nego­tiation. Why not try the Rock Paper Scissors approach?

Giffilttl (May 21-June 20) Sixty percent of Nigeria's population lives be­low the poverty line. Yet according to the World Values Survey, published in New Sden­tist magazine, Nigerians are the happiest peo­ple on the planet. How can that be? It may have something to do with the survey's con­clusion that "!lie desire for material goods is a happiness suppressant." Sounds to me like the conclusion the Buddhists came to a long time ago: Craving for earthly riches is the source of a lot of suffering. Luckily, you Gem­inis are in a phase when you have great pow­er to shift your pursuit of satisfactis>n away from transitory, ephemeral, ultimately useless pleasures and toward the truly gratifying, eter­nal ones.

Oune 21-July 22) 1n 1982 I moved into a new home in Santa Cruz. It was just a funky old cottage that had once been a barn, but I was ecstatic to have it As I opened the front door to begin my first day there, a violet-crowned hummingbird bolted inside in front of me, stayed for a few minutes, then departed. I regarded its visit as a phenomenally good omen, and it turned out to be just that. During my years in that house, I wrote my first book, recorded my first music album, fell in love with the woman I married and conceived my daughter. Almost exactly 24 years later, I'm meditating on your horoscope as I sit in my current abode. "Send me a sign," I just said to the gods, "What's in the works for Cancerians?" Now a violet-crowned humming­bird is dancing exuberantly in front of my win­dow, peering in, lingering a long time. I take it to mean you're at the beginning of a great opening.

LIO Ouly 23-Aug. 22) According to the organization Human Rights Watch, there are currently 2,225 American convicts condemned to life sentences for crimes they perpetrated as teenagers. In con­trast, the entire rest of the world has only 12 prisoners in a similar situation. I favor the more lenient approach that prevails on the planet outside of the U.S.-not just for crimi­nals but for everyone. Though most of us did­n't commit felonies when we were young, we all made big mistakes that caused problems for us as well as others. Should we suffer for our sins forever? I hope not. It so happens that

the coming days will provide fresh opportuni­ties for you Leos to atone for and correct the wrong turns you made way back when.

Vl~GO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HELP WANTED: looking for a smart operator who has expertise in both rebellion and com­promise. Must be willing to break taboos if necessary in order to help people, but must also be a sensitive and empathetic collabora­tor who's skilled at creating harmonious solu­tions. Are you a rugged individualist with a strong sense of self or are you a community builder who can get along with a wide variety of human types? Both, hopefully. Be a good lis­tener who expresses himself clearly.

(Sept. 23-0ct. 22) If you set your mind lo ii, you could break the world's record for most ketchup sipped through a straw in three minutes, or the great­est distance pushing a tangerine down a high- . way with one's nose or the most jumps on a pogo-stick in the rain at dawn while wearing a leather jumpsuit. For that matter, Libra, you now have the boldness, physical vigor and slightly crazed chutzpah to accomplish a whole range of precedent-breaking feats, from halting an abuse of power you've been putting up with to overthrowing the soggy status quo that has watered down the passions of every­one in a group you care about

~CO~PIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The U.S. Congress creates a constant stream of new legislation, but that doesn't mean Presi- · dent Bush has to enforce it. Since he took of­fice in 2001 , in fact, Bush has chosen to dis­obey more than 750 freshly minted laws. At the risk of getting you in trouble with the pow­ers-that-be, I'm advising you to make Bush your role model in the coming week. Try to get away with ignoring any rules of the game you don't like or agree with. To maximize your chance of sailing through unscathed, proceed as Bush does-in a stealth mode, not calling attention to the fact that you're in a rebel out­law mode.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Please stick to drinking low-fat water in the coming days; av~id the high-fat H20 whenever possible. Likewise, inhale only the kind of oxy­gen that's low in cholesterol, and don't allow your eyes to take in fatty landscapes or other calorie-rich sights. In other words, Sagittarius, . celebrate simple pleasures. To make best use of the astrological opportunities, you've got to consistently choose the most raw, basic op­tions.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Last week's symbol was a closed fist. The mood was detennined, fierce and intolerant of any funny stuff. But you're leaving the zone in which that stance made sense. Your new metaphor is tl1e open hand. Your chances at succeeding will increase in proportion to your willingness to negotiate for peace, seek con­nection and accept input. Receptivity is the Truth and the Way. ''Why not?" is your power mantra. To prime yourself for the transition, I suggest that wherever you are right now, you spread your arms wide and unfurl your wel­coming palms.

~QU~~IU~ Oan. 20-Feb. 18) When you obsess on your adversaries, you risk becoming like them. The more you shape your life through your responses to things you don't like, you invite them to define your destiny. You'll have to be on guard against falling prey to this mistake in the coming weeks, Aquarius. While I don't suggest that you totally ignore the forces that oppose you, neither do I recom­mend that you regularly wake up in the middle of the night and spend hours plotting your next 10 moves again~ them. Confine your scheming to a circumscribed period-say every Saturday between 11:30AM and noon­and devote the rest of your time to creating what you love.

(Feb. 19-March 20) Actress Isla Fisher won the Breakthrough Per­formance award at the M1V Movie Awards for her role in the film Wedding Crashers. "For most people, playing a bi-polar nymphoma­niac would have been a challenge," she said. · "But I just played myseif." She's your role model for the coming week, Pisces. I hope she inspires you to be yourself, only bigger and badder and brighter. It's like you have a poet­ic license to proceed as if you're starring in the blockbuster mO'lie of your own life.
