arlier this month, themedia reported thatthe two words most

frequently looked up in theMerriam-Webster Diction-ary in 2012 were “capital-ism” and “socialism.” Theresults were not too surpris-ing in a year that spawnedOccupy Wall Street with theslogan “We are the 99 per-cent,” alluding to the incomedivide between the richest 1percent of Americans andthe rest of us. It was a yearthat endlessly debated themerits of Obamacare (uni-versal health insurance cov-erage) and capped it with apresidential race that wastoo close to call—until itwasn’t.Hawai‘i in general and

Maui in particular saw thechoice for President of theUnited States (POTUS) as ano-brainer. The state andcounty delivered big-timefor local boy Barrack Hus-sein Obama, who should bewinging into his hometownHonolulu for the holidays

aboard Air Force One by thetime you read this.

Youngsters, Oldsters andWomenThe 50th state also made

some other interesting elec-tion-year decisions.Voting for youth and a

“new vision,”South Mauisent 23-year-oldMark KanielaIng to the stateHouse, andhelped send anonly slightlyolder TulsiGabbard, 31, tothe 2nd Con-gressional Dis-trict Houseseat. She became the firstHindu-American ever elect-ed to the U.S. House and wassworn in with her righthand resting on the Bha-gavad Gita.On the distaff side, Gab-

bard was not alone. Women

loomed large in the Hawai‘i2012 political landscape: De-mocrat Mazie Hirono wonher bid for U.S. Senate byconvincingly beating Repub-lican former Maui Mayorand Hawai‘i Gov. Linda Lin-gle. In victory, Hirono be-came the first Asian-Ameri-can woman elected to the

U.S. Senate. Inthe 1st Con-gressional Dis-trict, ColeenH a n a b u s awent back foranother termrepresentingO‘ahu, andhere at homeGladys Baisabecame thefirst woman to

chair the Maui CountyCouncil.But voters didn’t just pick

females and youngsters.Looking to the Y chromo-some and the other end ofthe age spectrum, the verysame electorate sent Rep.Joe Souki back to his state

House seat for a 16th consec-utive term. There, Souki,who will be 80 on his nextbirthday, orchestrated astrange-bedfellows coalitionof dissident Democrats andminority Republicans.These House members unit-ed to form a “new majority”and named Souki speaker-elect.The November outcome

was made even sweeter forthe Valley Isle with Maui’sShan Tsutsui picking up theSenate president post again,and Souki naming Maui’sGil Keith-Agaran as stateHouse majority leader.

lets, the large shopping centers pro-posed for the mauka side of thePi‘ilani Highway in Kïhei.Opponents appealed to the state

Land Use Commission to reopen thedocket on the project that had begunin the 1990s as a light industrial sub-division, contending that it hadchanged so much and without ap-propriate review as to be a totallydifferent animal.The LUC agreed to hear the mat-

ter—which is now undergoing a pro-tracted quasi-judicial proceeding.Advocates for the shopping com-

plexes argued that they had receivedall appropriate entitlements for theprojects that would benefit the localeconomy both in jobs and infrastruc-ture.Hanging in the balance—while a

cast of a dozen or more lawyers de-bated the fine points—is an estimat-ed $200 million in new construction.

Where there’s smoke there’s fireAlso ringing alarm bells were

protests relating to cane burning byHC&S, with organizers claiming theburning was an antiquated hold-over from the plantation era that en-dangered the health of residents;while the company asserted it wasnecessary to retain the economic vi-ability of Maui’s largest agriculturalemployer.

Towers of powerMaui Electric also drew heat with

its proposal to “uglify” the land-scape by erecting 70-foot electricaltransmission poles along the Pi‘ilaniHighway corridor. The poles, whichwould add a string of eyesores to aformerly unobstructed ocean view,brought roars of protest. Some at-tempt to modify the proposal is saidto be in the works.

GMO must goThe Kïhei-based branch of agri-

business giant Monsanto found it-self under attack for its role in theproduction of genetically modified

seed corn, with sign-waving protest-ers lining Pi‘ilani Highway. Otheranti-GMO forces hosted a forum urg-ing mandatory food safety labeling.On the other side, proponents

backed by the federal governmentargued that to-date, no convincingevidence of ill effects has been pre-sented. (A highly controversial andvery expensive ballot initiative inCalifornia, which would have re-quired mandatory labeling of allGMO food products, was defeated.)

PLDC sparks outrageBut perhaps no event in 2012

brought more sustained and vocalprotest than the passage of state law55, setting up the Public Land Devel-opment Corporation (PLDC). Thelaw, billed as a way to encouragepublic-private partnerships andhelp the state make better use ofpublic land assets, gave the newagency sweeping waivers and ex-emptions from virtually all countyzoning, state review and environ-mental oversight. It also virtuallyeliminated public input into the de-cision making process.After being signed into law by

Hawai‘i Gov. Neil Abercrombie, thestatewide hearings set up to get pub-lic reaction drew such outrage, hos-tility and universal condemnationthat repeal of the act looks to beamong the first order of business forthe upcoming session of the stateLegislature.

Pushing other proposals

Though the topic of waivers forthe PLDC drew immediate and vig-orous pushback, flying under theradar were a whole host of similarmeasures introduced at the Legisla-ture under a wide range of titles. Atleast a dozen different legislativeproposals sought to give the stateand its various agencies exemptionsfrom regulations in the building ofroads, airports, harbors and otherpublic works and also to expand socalled “partnerships” with privateentities which some called “give-aways.” While most of these meas-ures died in committee or were de-feated, there were enough of themand in a multitude of guises to raiseserious questions about maintain-ing the integrity and transparencyof the review process and realdoubts about safeguarding publicland and property.

PulehunuiA local incarnation of this slip-

pery slope came up in August, whenthe state agencies held a hearing onthe proposed plans for use of 900acres of public lands in Pulehunuion both sides of Mokulele Highway.Up for discussion were a variety ofproposed uses and similar public-private partnerships.The meeting in Kïhei attracted a

parade to the microphone of citi-zens, who greeted the proposals withbarely concealed skepticism. Plansfor a new bigger and very expensiveprison, homesteads for Hawaiiansin the most arid and chemically con-

taminated acres—to name but two—were greeted with barely printableinvective. Others who testified won-dered aloud if the meeting itself was-n’t just a thinly veiled attempt to le-gitimize the privatization of publicassets.

Did We Agree on Anything?A big yes for airport expansionYes—a big yes for airport expan-

sion and electric vehicles. Not everypublic meeting drew opposition.Early in the year, a state Depart-ment of Transportation hearing todiscuss a variety of improvementsat the Kahului Airport drew a stand-ing-room-only crowd estimated at400. Testimony was plentiful, andthose who spoke unanimously advo-cated for the most expensive op-tion—estimated to cost more than$100 million—and opposed any lesscostly airport modifications, whichmight temporarily cause an inter-ruption in direct flights from theMainland. Less noted (but projectedto cost an additional $200 million)were plans relocate and consolidatecar rental facilities there.

Another yes for electric carsThe year 2012 was the year that

the electric vehicle became a realityon Maui. The University of Hawai‘iMaui College hosted a well-attendedconference on how Maui couldbenefit from being an early adopterof this technology, and followed uplater in the year with free public testdrives of electric cars, scooters andbikes. The county and other privatebusinesses continued to expandcharging stations around the island,and rental car companies reportedthat what few electrics they had inthe rental pool were proving popu-lar.

Economic Rebound BeginsThrough it all, the Maui econo-

my—sluggish and hard hit by the re-cession—continued to show signs of

improvement. The visitor industryreported better-than-expected re-sults, including increases in occu-pancy, spending, expansions of airroutes, and increases in arrivalsfrom less traditional markets likeAustralia and Korea.Construction had a number of un-

expected bright spots, with commer-cial projects leading the way. In Sep-tember, First Hawaiian bank report-ed a 350 percent hike in new, privateconstruction building permits forthe first quarter of 2012 comparedwith the same quarter a year ago.Likewise real estate numbers and

projections started to look a littlebetter, foreclosures were fewer, andsales of condos and single-familyhomes began to look a little better asprices not only stabilized, but beganto recover.On the jobs side, unemployment,

which was reported as 6.7 percent in

May, was down to 5.5 percent in Oc-tober.

Center Stage: PlanningThis year, the bulked-up Maui Is-

land Plan took center stage. Thefinal document, almost a decade inthe making and consisting of morethan 400 pages of new land use poli-cies, was reviewed by the MauiCounty Council. Notable features ofthe Island Plan include a multitudeof very specific maps, all with newurban growth limit boundaries indi-cated and no fewer than 12 new landuse categories.In South Maui, plans to build a

new Kïhei High School inched for-ward with the approval of a final En-vironmental Impact Statement. Thegood news was tempered by the badnews that there was next to nothingin the kitty to actually construct the

Save the Dates!

his year, my favorite storywas the soap opera calledthe Kïhei shopping mall —a

large, controversial retail develop-ment proposed for South Maui thatwould also include apartmenthousing.This story asks the question:

How could $200 million worth ofnew construction start off as a 123-lot fee simple light industrial sub-division in 1994 and emerge like azombie from the dead 17 years lateras 700,000 square feet of leased big-box retail? And how could it be thatwe—the public—only knew aboutthe change when the project wasready to break ground?I followed this story all year. I

interviewed all the principals. I satthrough all the proceedings. I wasthere—live and in person—withmy skinny little reporter’s pad andmy clunky digital camera.Though early in the year it was

announced that the malls had re-ceived their grading permits, al-most before you could say “I’d liketo restate that,” there was litiga-tion pending and ten or morelawyers were soon involved.They were mostly guys, so they

had good haircuts, nice suits, shinyshoes, and they all could talk—andmost of them did.If American Idol is a singing con-

test, then a multi-phase quasi-judi-cial proceeding before the stateLand Use Commission overwhether one thing can morph tosomething entirely different with-out any further scrutiny is a talk-ing contest.The lawyers sat in a long row at

a table lined up by affiliation. Leftto right there were developers’

lawyers Jon Steiner and Joel Kam.Next to them were county lawyersJane Lovell and Mike Hopper—this quartet said the project wasfully legal and good to go.At the other end of the table

were the state’s lawyers, Brian Yeeand Jesse Souki, and the interven-ers’ lawyers Tom Pierce and MarkHyde. These fourthought differently.The lawyers faced

a U-shaped tablewhere the commis-sion members andtheir staff were seat-ed, including theirown lawyer, SarahHirakami, a deputystate attorney gener-al.Hirakami advised

the members of thecommission. Official-ly there are ninethough the number attending var-ied from six to seven. Unlike theother lawyers, she was silent andthe members present mostly lis-tened.If the commissioners played the

part of the American Idol judges, it

was the lawyers who took the roleof contestants.Just like American Idol, when

the time came, each one got up anddid a solo. They all gave differentriffs on the identical tune. Theyused the same set of facts to reachtotally opposing conclusions.My favorite lawyer was Brian

Yee from the stateAG’s office, whospoke effectively dur-ing the show causehearing in the sum-mer. Yee had a knackfor making complicat-ed things easy to un-derstand. He spoke ina calm, reasonabletone with no trace ofjudgment. He said theproject currently pro-posed was differentfrom the project ap-proved in the 1990s

and needed further review.Despite his presentation, I never

thought that the LUC would vote toreopen the docket. That was be-cause only six of the nine commis-sioners were present, and all sixvotes had to be in favor of the mo-tion if the case was to be reviewed.I thought the vote would split.

Surprise—the vote was unani-mous. The commission ruled therewas sufficient reason to look at thisagain.And trust me folks, we have

looked and looked hard.But let’s get back to the lawyers.The developers retained legal

counsel in the form of Jon Steinerand Joel Kam. They had all the pa-perwork chopped, sliced, diced, un-derlined, highlighted and dia-gramed.Sitting next to them and siding

with the developers were the twolawyers for the County of Maui,Jane Lovell and Michael Hopper.Hopper was the listening lawyer;Lovell was the talking lawyer.Next came the lawyers for the

state, already mentioned, and nextto them, at the far end were Pierceand Hyde, the arguers for the inter-vener, who asserted that what isbeing proposed now is different

from what was approved then.Hyde is a retired attorney living

in South Maui and a founder ofSouth Maui Citizens for Responsi-ble Growth. The gist of what Hydesaid outside the hearing room wasthat he didn’t like the transforma-tion this development underwentwithout the benefit of review. Hethought it didn’t conform to thelaw, the conditions or the rules.So he objected, and in doing so

demonstrated that little pushbackcan cause a major delay and—oh,my goodness—that can be expen-sive and time-consuming.Rounding out the cast was the

press and also from time to timemembers of the public, including arepresentative from a constructiontrade union who wandered in andout muttering “I’m sick of all ofthis already.”The meeting rooms varied from

broiling hot when filled with wit-nesses and public testifiers tofreezing cold when the crowd dwin-dled to just the singing lawyers andthe hard core masochist listeners. Isat there by the hour and wrappeda sweater around my head whenmy ears started to freeze. I know itlooked a little weird, but I stayed.Some of it was tedious, but most

of it was fascinating. What I reallythought was, “Jeez, the meter isrunning for all of this and it mustbe costing a fortune.”Though proceedings have been

recessed for the holidays the LUCwill reconvene for the oral argu-ments in January. These will belonger summaries: think Wagnerand the Ring Cycle followed bycommission deliberation and awritten opinion.Some say that the public doesn’t

give a hoot about this civic stuffand it’s just the hardcore wonks (orwonkettes) who think it is revelato-ry and deeply absorbing.But I think this lawyer’s version

of American Idol is addictive.So to all you attorneys out there

who may be reading this critiqueof your oratorical skills: I admireyour diligence, ability to entertainand enthrall. The spoken Englishword still has the power to per-suade—as all of you have so amplydemonstrated. And if it was a weebit tedious in places or you repeat-ed yourself a few times, well, no-body’s perfect.I hope to see more Mauians turn

out for the final arguments comingup in 2013. Not that it will make adifference in the outcome, but justlike in American Idol finals, it allcomes down to the last song andwho does it best.Or as they say in baseball, “It’s

not over until it’s over.”

n his play, “A Man forAll Seasons,” RobertBolt writes of Sir

Thomas Moore, who livedhis life based on principalsof ethical and lawful behav-ior and was ultimately exe-cuted by King Henry VIII ofEngland in the 16thcentury for his refusalto change those princi-ples to meet the King’sdemands.In public life there

are few politicians whocould meet that princi-pled test today. To notonly stand fast to one’score values, but also tobe loved by the peoplehe served for doing so.One of those few wasSenator Daniel K. In-ouye, simply known as“The Senator,” or“Senator Dan” to mil-lions of Hawai‘i resi-dents, both Republicanand Democrat.Sen. Inouye’s pass-

ing marks the end of an erafor Hawai‘i and the nation.At the time of his death, hewas the Senate’s secondlongest serving senator (af-ter the late Sen. RobertByrd of West Virginia) andthe Senate President Pro-Tempore, making him thirdin line for the Presidencyfollowing the Vice Presi-dent and the Speaker of theHouse. As chair of the Sen-ate Appropriations Com-mittee and the Senate De-fense Appropriations Sub-committee, he played a crit-ical role in funding numer-ous projects to benefit Mauiand the state.Sen. Inouye was thrust

into the limelight in the1970s as a member of theWatergate Committee thatvoted to impeach PresidentRichard Nixon and in 1987as Chairman of the Iran-Contra Committee that in-vestigated the illegal sale ofweapons to Iran by the Rea-gan administration to fundanti-Sandinista rebels inNicaragua. But it was hisability to work in a biparti-san fashion to enact mean-ingful legislation where hemade his mark as a legisla-tor respected on both sidesof the aisle.One of his best-known ef-

forts was securing fundingfor the Maui Research andTechnology Park and theMaui High PerformanceComputer located in cen-tral Kïhei. According to itsWebsite, the park is nowhome to over 20 high-tech-

nology and professionalservices companies em-ploying approximately 400people. An estimated $150million flows through parkcompanies and projectseach year.In addition, Sen. Inouye

was instrumental in provid-ing funding for the MauiBus service, constructionjobs in support of militaryinfrastructure, the diver-sification of agriculture, theexpansion of national parksand wildlife refuges inHawai‘i, and the protectionof Hawaiian monk seals,sea turtles, the alala(Hawaiian crow), nenegoose and coral reefs.Sen. Inouye’s political

career began as a represen-tative to the TerritorialHouse of Representatives in1954. In 1958, he was electedto the Territorial Senate. In1959, following statehood,Inouye was elected as thefirst member of U.S. Houseof Representatives fromHawai‘i. He was elected tothe U.S. Senate in 1962, ulti-mately being elected to theSenate for nine consecutiveterms. Since 1959, there hasnot been a time when Sen.Inouye was not represent-ing Hawai‘i.In March of 1943, Sen. In-

ouye enlisted in the U.S.Army’s 442 RegimentalCombat Team, the “Go ForBroke” regiment, leavingbehind his pre-med studiesat the University of Hawai‘iand dreams of becoming adoctor. In the fall of 1944,

the war would take hisregiment to the VosgesMountains of Franceand into battle for twobloody weeks as theyfought to rescue aTexas Battalion sur-rounded by a muchlarger German force. Itbecame known in theannals of WWII as therescue of the “Lost Bat-talion.”As a result of his ac-

tion in battle, the sena-tor was awarded theBronze Star and re-ceived a battlefieldcommission as a Sec-ond Lieutenant. Later,in Italy, while engagedin the assault of a heav-

ily defended hill in the finalmonths of the war, Sen. In-ouye was wounded in thestomach and yet still led anattack on a machine gunnest that had his menpinned down.In the ensuing battle, the

force of a German riflegrenade shot at close rangeshattered his right arm. Itwould take 20 months ofhospitalization before hecould return home as a cap-tain with the DistinguishedService Cross, Bronze Star,Purple Heart with clusterand 12 other medals and ci-tations. Eventually a grate-ful nation upgraded his Dis-tinguished Service Cross(the second highest awardfor military valor) to theMedal of Honor. Despite allefforts, his right arm couldnot be saved.Like the rest of Hawai‘i,

the news of Sen. Inouye’sdeath came as a shock onMaui, followed by an out-pouring of praise and re-membrance.After learning the news,

Maui County CouncilChair-Elect Gladys Baisasaid, “One of my earliestmemories of him was myfirst visit to the U.S. Capitolin 1984 as the newly ap-pointed director of MEO

(Maui Economic Opportu-nity, Inc.). He and Sen. Aka-ka welcomed me and mademe feel at home. I was al-ways secure knowingHawai‘i was in the hands ofan amazing Washingtonteam.”Jeanne Skog, president

and CEO of the Maui Eco-nomic Development Board,Inc. (MEDB), worked close-ly for many years with thesenator on initiatives to di-versify Maui’s agriculturaland tourist-based economy.“We have lost a friend—a

wise, witty, compassionate,dedicated, visionary friend.It’s been an honor to havehim share MEDB’s vision ofa diversified economy andnew options for our resi-dents. He secured the dol-lars and always found thetime to help encourage andprepare our children fortechnology-based careers.”Don Couch,

running forelection to theCounty Coun-cil in 2008, wasable to securethe endorse-ment of thesenator for hiscouncil race.It was an un-usual step fora race thatwas consid-ered local and not ordinari-ly given that kind of high-profile attention.“I am deeply saddened at

the loss of Sen. Dan Inouye,a great American hero. I amhonored to have been sup-ported by Senator Inouyeand have had the pleasureworking with him on sever-al occasions. He always hadthe people of Maui as wellas all of Hawai‘i as his focusin our working discussions.We will miss his cheerfulpresence and warm andcharming personality. Ourthoughts and prayers arewith his family. Aloha ‘Oe,Senator Dan.”Hawai‘i State Senate

President Shan Tsutsui re-leased a statement thatsaid, in part, “…SenatorDan Inouye served the peo-ple of Hawai‘i and our coun-try with great dignity andhonor. A true statesman,

his lifelong work has left anindelible mark on Hawai‘i,and he leaves behind a lega-cy that we will never for-get…”Gov. Neil Abercrombie

shared the following re-marks upon learning of thepassing of Sen. Inouye:“The senator gave every-

thing. He knew the truemeaning of ‘Go for Broke.’He left us with a legacy ofhonor and service to thepeople of Hawai‘i, to thepeople of this nation, with-out parallel,” he said.“The senator recently

made clear to me his loveand affection for us all. Hesaid, ‘I represented the peo-ple of Hawai‘i and this na-tion honestly and to thebest of my ability. I think Idid okay.’ I’m sure we allbelieve he did okay,” Gov.Abercrombie added.Sen. Inouye was born in

1924. He at-tributed hisconcern forthe Hawaiianpeople to hismother. As hegrew up, he al-ways remem-bered hismother tellinghim, “I cannotdo anything tohelp theHawaiian peo-

ple, but you will be able toand you can.” In 1948, In-ouye married Margaret Shi-nobu Awamura, or “Mag-gie” as he called her, whohad been born in Wailukuand then had moved toO‘ahu with her family as achild. Their marriage last-ed 57 years, until Maggiepassed away on March 13,2006. Sen. Inouye remarriedon May 24, 2008 to Irene Hi-rono, who was president ofthe U.S. Japan Council.With his passing, in addi-tion to his wife, the senatoris survived by a son, Ken,and a granddaughter, MaryMargaret “Maggie” Inouye.As he lay dying, Sen. In-

ouye is reported to havewhispered one last word tothose who had gathered byhis side.“Aloha,” he told them.

And then, too soon, he wasgone.

pared to last month, leisure and hos-

pitality was up by 800 jobs, buoyedby a strong visitor industry; profes-sional and business services were up600 jobs; and construction and trade,transportation and utilities sectorsrose by 300 jobs each.The over-the-month job losses oc-

University of Hawai‘i Economic Re-search Organization’s (UHERO)quarterly forecast.The UHERO report shows contin-

ued growth with private buildingpermits in the state increasing forthe third consecutive quarter—thelast time this occurred was in 2006.Residential permits are up 20 per-cent from last year with moderateupward movement for commercialpermits.With the increase in permitting

and a tripling of government con-tracts awarded in the second quarterof this year, UHERO expects con-struction jobs to end 2012 with a .6percent rise from 2011. That slightrise is expected to jump to 7.7 per-cent in 2013, indicating Hawai‘i maybe in the midst of the next homebuilding cycle.“Confidence amongst home

builders is gaining momentum, and

that bodes well for not only the realestate market, but the entire econo-my,” said Ken Laughlin, president ofHawai‘i Lumber Products Associa-tion.“An increase in building of new

homes and businesses means an in-crease in not only construction jobs,but an increase in jobs and sales formany related vendors.”Construction growth is most evi-

dent on the west side of O‘ahu.This upward trend in the real es-

tate market isn’t just reserved forHawai‘i. The Commerce Departmentreported nation-wide building per-mits in September rose almost 12percent from August to a seasonallyadjusted annual rate of 894,000,which is over a 45 percent jump froma year ago. Housing projects brokeground at a seasonally adjusted an-nual rate of 872,000 to a nearly 35 per-cent increase from September 2011.

Challenges During the HolidaysDuring the holidays, fears

and anxieties can get hiddenin our bodies and lodged in ourminds. No one is alone. Wehave each other to reach outto if we choose. Therapeutictouch can bring this discom-fort to a place of grounding,embracing and release. Some-thing new, more creative andalive can arise. I have foundfor my self and others whom Itouch in my bodywork thatbeing quietly with feelings asthey arise, not covering themup with a lot of doing or chas-ing happiness, can ease uncomfortableemotions. We each can find our ownunique way of embracing pains toallow for the possibility of internal,then external changes when there isquiet.Candle Summers is a Kula massage

therapist living on Maui and practic-ing her art for 30 years. She still findsa freshness to her work, inspired bythose who come to her and her InsightMeditation practice.

UH scientist discovers box jellyfish treatmentTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS - A Uni-versity of Hawai‘i scientist has de-veloped a way to treat Hawai‘i boxjellyfish stings and block the poisonemitted by related species in Aus-tralia and other parts of the world.Dr. Angel Yanagihara discov-

ered a pore-forming toxin commonto all box jellyfish. Then she devel-oped an inhibitor that blocks thetoxin. The medical school professorhas multiple patents for the tech-nology. A company is licensing itand conducting clinical trials tobring the product to market. Asting from a Hawai‘i box jellyfish isusually just a painful nuisance, butthe stings inflicted by related boxjellyfish in Indonesia, Thailand andAustralia can trigger heart attacksand even kill people. The scientificjournal PLOS ONE publishedYanagihara's research last week.

Pacific Biodiesel fuel to run HECO plantTHE MAUI NEWS - State regulatorshave approved a multiyear con-tract for Maui-based PacificBiodiesel to supply Hawaiian Elec-tric Co. (HECO) with 250,000 gal-lons a year of locally producedbiodiesel.The green fuel, which is made by

recycling used cooking oil fromHawai‘i restaurants, will be used topower a new, $20 million backupplant HECO is building at the Hon-olulu International Airport.Under the three-year contract

approved by the Public UtilitiesCommission, HECO can buy up toan additional one million gallons ofbiodiesel annually, according toPacific Biodiesel spokeswomanBeth Mathias. The company’s Mauiplant will handle pre-processing ofthe used cooking oil before sendingit to the new Big Island refinery forproduction, she said.

County is preparing to address floodingTHE MAUI NEWS - Thanks to sever-al years of advocating by communi-ty groups, Maui County is movingahead with $2.5 million worth ofimprovements for a Mä‘alaea roadthat has suffered extensive flooddamage from heavy rain events inrecent years.“We’re so pleased that the coun-

ty moved ahead with this,” saidPam Daoust, president of theMä‘alaea Community Association,which led the charge in pressingfor the improvements. “We reallyfelt the way the process unfoldedwas something that representedthe community and the countyworking together.”She called the existing drainage

system a serious safety and envi-ronmental problem. The improve-ments are needed because the exist-ing system is inadequate to handlerunoff generated by a so-called 100-year storm, according to a final en-vironmental assessment recentlycompleted for the project by the

county’s Department of PublicWorks.It is also needed to prevent fu-

ture flooding along Hauoli Streetand to neighboring properties, aswas seen most recently in Decem-ber 2010 and January 2011, whenfloodwaters inundated the IslandSands Resort condominium’sground floors and flooded othercondos in the area with water andmud.

U.S. attorney collected $3 million in 2012THE ASSOCIATED PRESS - The U.S.attorney for Hawai‘i collected $3.3million related to civil and crimi-nal cases during the latest fiscalyear. Most of that was collected aspart of criminal cases during fiscalyear 2012. The office says it collect-ed another $4.7 million in criminaland civil forfeitures.According to a news release, U.S.

attorneys’ offices nationally collect-ed $13.1 billion in criminal and civilactions during the year, up from$6.5 billion in fiscal year 2011.Hawai‘i U.S. Attorney FlorenceNakakuni says her office is dedicat-ed to protecting the public and torecovering funds for the federaltreasury and for crime victims.

MECO warns of scammersTHE MAUI NEWS - Maui ElectricCo. (MECO) is warning customersabout an apparent telephone scamin which callers are told that theirelectric bill is delinquent and thatthey are subject to disconnection.MECO reported that some of theircustomers have received these callsand are told to make payments atcertain retail stores using specificdebt card services and to then pro-vide the caller with a confirmationnumber, which grants the scam-mer access to the customer’s funds.MECO reminds customers not to

provide personal, confidential orfinancial information to anyunidentified individual. The com-pany urges customers to be cau-tious when responding to phonecalls and to report any suspiciousactivity to the company or police.Customers may pay their bills in

person at 210 W. Kamehameha Ave.in Kahului daily and at 32A Ulili St.on Molokai from 8 a.m. to noonTuesdays.

e’s the guy who tells itstraight, makes us look atthe silly stupidity of politics

and above all, give us a good laughfor our time and money. On Tues-day, Jan. 1, get the new, new rulesfrom Bill Maher in the Castle The-ater at Maui Arts & Cultural Center(MACC). He started his Maui tradi-tion on New Year’s Day 2012, and wecan look forward to it continuingeach year.For the last 20 years, Maher has

set the boundaries of where funnypolitical talk can go on American tel-evision. First on “Politically Incor-rect” (Comedy Central and ABC,1993-2002) and for the last ten yearson HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher’s

combination of unflinching honestyand big laughs have garnered him 27Emmy nominations. In 2008, thissame combination was magnified inMaher’s uproarious and unprece-dented swipe at organized religion,“Religulous,” a feature-length docu-mentary directed by Larry Charlesthat has gone on to become the 8thhighest grossing documentary ever.In addition to his TV show—

which has regular guests such asBen Affleck, Robin Williams, Arian-na Huffington and Michael Moore—Maher has written five bestsellers:“True Story,” “Does Anybody Havea Problem with That? Politically In-correct’s Greatest Hits,” “When YouRide Alone, You Ride with BinLaden,” “New Rules: Polite Musingsfrom a Timid Observer” and the

most recent, “The New New Rules: AFunny Look at How Everybody ButMe Has Their Head Up Their Ass.”Needless to say, “irreverent” is amild description for him, but “intel-ligence” is the main rule.Maher started his career as a

stand-up comedian in 1979 and stillperforms at least 50 dates a year insold-out theaters across the country.Tickets to the Maui show are goingfast; they’re priced at $65.50 and$85.50 (plus applicable fees).Make it a full evening and enjoy

preshow dining catered byHäli‘imaile General Store alongwith entertainment by Lily Meolaand Tom Conway in the YokouchiPavilion Courtyard. For reserva-tions, call the MACC Box Office at242-SHOW or visit MauiArts.org.

passes two regions—the SummitDistrict on the upper slopes ofHaleakalä, which reaches elevationsbetween 7,000 and 10,000 feet and theKïpahulu District that stretchesalong the beautiful coast of EastMaui.Additional details and applica-

facility. The consensus was that au-thorization to spend $160 million intwo phases might be a long time incoming, especially in Hawai‘i’s cur-rent cash-strapped environment.The school issue got top billing in

the South Maui state House race be-tween Republican incumbentGeorge Fontaine, and Democraticchallenger Kaniela Ing. Many ob-servers thought that Ing’s assertionthat a Democrat would be more like-ly to bring home the money for theMaui school was likely a contribut-ing factor to his win.Other plans that could have a big

impact on the future of healthcareon Maui came in an announcementfrom Maui Memorial Medical Cen-ter that it was considering an affilia-

tion with Banner Health of Phoenix,Arizona, a nonprofit operator of 23acute-care hospitals and healthcarefacilities with more than 36,000 em-ployees in Alaska, Arizona, Califor-nia, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevadaand Wyoming. MMHC is Maui’s on-ly hospital and is presently part ofthe state-run hospital system.

Maui got its share ofwet weather with flooding in March,followed by a drought that was se-vere enough and to trigger a U.S. De-partment of Agriculture nationaldisaster alert in May.

In October, there was tsunamiwarning set off by a Canadian earth-quake that evacuated low-lying ar-eas and sent residents and visitorsscurrying to higher ground.If the weather took a weird turn,

so did the wildlife. Shark bites offMaui beaches made news repeated-ly, and even the axis deer, perhapsreacting to the announcement ofplans to hunt them down as an inva-sive species, were videoed leapinginto the surf at Wailea.

Fun and GamesThe year wasn’t all doom and

gloom.In 2012, Halloween returned to

Lahaina; Kïhei got a monthly Fridaystreet fest (but only after Pä‘ia de-clined to continue their event be-cause of safety and traffic concerns);TED-X (Technology, Education, De-sign Expo) hosted its first presenta-

tion here to a standing-room-onlycrowd; and the list of festivals, fairs,food and entertainment venues grewby leaps and bounds. Most notableon the foodie front was the hugelypopular Maui Ag Fest. The all-dayevent drew bumper-to-bumpertraffic to the Maui Tropical Planta-tion in April.

Did the World End?If you’re reading this in our Dec.

27 issue, that means the world didnot come to an end on Dec. 21 aswidely forecast, and hashed and re-hashed on late night talk shows.So it appears Maui is still in the

game for a while longer.

To that end, we at the Maui Week-ly wish you a happy and prosperousNew Year and remain determined tobring you all the news and views in2013.

and Another Thing…Charles Laquidara

or years, the simple act of us-ing toilet paper alone was notefficient or practical. I had al-

ways felt that there was a bit more tobe done in order to feel totally cleanand know that I had completed themission satisfactorily. After all (andrealistically speaking) one cannottake a shower every time one movesone’s bowels!When I was on the radio back in

Boston, I never talked about thisproblem publicly, because I figuredthat was more “Howard Stern” terri-tory. But truth be told, sometimes Ifound myself wishing that I lived inEurope where many householdshave bidets as a standard feature intheir bathrooms.And then, a few years ago, as if in

answer to my years of futile praying,

along came a product that was uncer-emoniously stacked on supermarketshelves across America—KimberlyClark (the Kleenex company) pre-miered Cottonelle flushable wipes!This was quickly followed by sev-

eral other companies who now sellthis hygienic product—a productwhich is seldom discussed publicly—but which all of the major groceryand pharmacy chain stores haveavailable. Many stores now sell their

own brands, which are just as effi-cient (and much cheaper) than thebig-name brands.I am not sure how to end this

thought, but I think you get what I’msaying. If I were sure I could disguisemy identity, I would do a radio testi-monial for this product. It would goviral on YouTube and would getthousands of positive commentsfrom thousands of anonymous users.At first I was going to suggest get-

F ting your loved one a case of theseflushable wipes for a gift. It’sthoughtful, practical and certainlycheaper than buying a porcelainbidet. But then I remembered therepercussions once, long ago, when Igot “her” a vacuum cleaner forValentine’s Day. Not a good idea.I suggest that if you do go in that

direction, maybe there should also bea pretty pearl necklace tucked insidethe box.This opinion column is written by
